Daily Lectionary for November 28, 2010
Psalm 10
Isaiah 1:1-9
2 Peter 3:1-10
Matthew 25:1-13
2 Peter 3:1-10
Sounding like today's Sunday lectionary Gospel (Matthew 24:36-44) we find this verse - "But the day of the Lord will come like a thief..."(v.10) This passage speaks about the way time moves as humans experience it and the way that it is experienced by God. In short, what seems like a long time to us may not be such a long time to God. An important idea as we come again into the season of Advent, both remembering the advent of Christ as an infant in Bethlehem AND looking ahead to the advent of Christ when he comes again. Some two thousand years since the time of Christ with Christianity perhaps losing some of its sense of urgency in awaiting the return of Christ the reminder that Christ, in God's good time, could come at any moment is an important message of the season.
Matthew 25:1-13
Similar theme here - "Keep awake therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour."
