Come, You Blessed

It Will Be Like This

Twenty-Sixth Sunday after Pentecost, Year A

This Reign of Christ Sunday, we meet the sheep and goats—and the question of whether good works earn God's favor or flow from it. As Wesley reminds us, these acts of mercy are the fruit of grace, not its price, as we celebrate Christ's reign already among us even as we wait for its fullness.

Music Notes


How many times have you said or heard others say, “I got more out of that than I gave.” Often after a mission trip,  a shared activity of giving or caring or building or … whatever, there is a sense of something significant within the workers and the givers. That is the blessedness of which we speak. It is a sign of connection to God and to one another. It is what we were made for, this circle of caring, this sacrifice of loving beyond a commandment into a way of being. Come, you blessed and know what it is to love and to be loved.  (Preaching Notes for November 22)
