Luke 6:17-26
A Sermon for the Sixth Sunday after Epiphany
The season of Epiphany is the season of the coming of the light. Today we look at how the Lord’s Supper gives light and life. It is important for us Lutherans to hear know what this means.
Luther has remarkable things to say about this, but first, I want to tell you about what one Lutheran pastor did to help his people see the light.
It was a regular Sunday morning worship service. He had preached the sermon. The offering had been taken. It was time to begin the liturgy for communion. Before starting that, he called the ushers to come forward again and handed them each a pile of $20 bills. Then he asked them to give a $20 bill to each person there that day.
