Just Another Sunday?
It is the Second Sunday after Pentecost. The first of those many Sunday’s that are just listed by their sequence after that great day of Pentecost. This year we number twenty-four of them that are just ordinary Sundays that fall during that part of the Church Year known to us today as the Season of Pentecost. At other times it has been known as the Time of the Church or the Season of Trinity. But, whatever the name and no matter if a minor feast falls on any of these Sunday’s or not, they are hardly “just another Sunday.” They are Sundays like all the rest, filled with the work of the Pentecost Spirit of God. Sundays set aside as holy days for the hearing of God’s Word of grace and receiving the gifts that He brings in the Sacraments. Days when His name is to be hallowed through hearing and eating; through faith. As we begin this lengthy season of the Church Year, remember that Jesus comes to you on these days and when He comes, how can we ever think of it as “just another Sunday!”
