Sermons For Pentecost (First Third)
Young Amos was a servant boy who, as an orphan, had attached himself to the Galilee travelers. He drew water, did washing, ran errands and always answered to the call, Young Amos. On a special day with that traveling company the intensity of the house was matched only by the heat of the hour. As the disciples remembered it years later, it was as if Jesus was speaking his final teaching. Everything he had tried to convey needed to be packed tightly into his lesson. Jesus kept alluding to a time when he would be gone from them all.
