The Seventh Sunday of Easter (C)
“Come Lord Jesus”
June 2, 2019
Sermon Text: Revelation 22:12-17, 20
Grace, mercy and peace be unto you from our risen and ascended Lord Jesus. Amen.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This is the last Sunday of the Easter Season and as you probably have noticed, our readings from God’s Holy Word during these past seven weeks have been, well, a little unusual.
First of all, we have had no Old Testament readings. Rather, we have been hearing about the wonderful work of the Lord through the Apostles and the early Christian Church, recorded for us in the Book of Acts.
Also, these past Sundays, we have had a reading from the Book of Revelation providing us with important information about this period… this season… in which we now live.
Many think it is all future stuff, but it is not. Rather, it vividly speaks of the season… the period between Christ’s ascension into heaven (which we celebrated this past Thursday) and Christ’s return in all His glory to judge the living and the dead which we shall likewise celebrate so very soon.
