Emphasis Preaching Journal
Crossing the bridge
Commentary
If we had no church year calendar we would soon create one. Our sense of order demands it. Without it we would soon fall victim to a series of Sundays that would center on propaganda for causes rather than proclamation of the Gospel. Even with our liturgical rhythm we feel that threat!
This First Sunday in Advent serves as a bridge from one year to the next. In the last Sundays of the previous year we reflected on eschatological sayings of Jesus and other biblical writers. Judgment day is coming.
