I relate to the drowsy bridesmaids, weary from the bridegroom’s delay. I, too, am weary waiting for justice, for kindness, for peace, for a better future to dawn.
Sermon 11/8/20: More delays??? (Pr. Craig Mueller)
Even when we can handle no more delays, Christ comes and welcomes you to the feast of life: in your midnights, in your sleepless nights, when you have nowhere else to turn, when your oil is running out, when you are foolish and hoard, when you are tired of waiting, tired of delays. Time is running out. The oil is running out. The darkening days of November reveal this.
