T he S eason after P entecost

Second Sunday after Pentecost June 6 - 12, 2021 • Proper 5

WEEK 28

On Pentecost we commemorate the descent of the Holy Spirit to earth on Christ’s believers, his infilling of the people of God, the Church. Through him, the third person of the Trinity, Jesus our Lord is now present with his people. The Spirit is the guarantee of the promised inheritance to come. We ponder the fullness and mystery of our God’s person and work in our celebration on Trinity Sunday.

THIS WEEK’S THEME Alpha and Omega: Creator: Creator of All Things, Hebrews 11.3

God created everything that exists, visible and invisible. There are only two categories of being in the universe – Creator and creation. God almighty spoke the universe into existence out of nothing ( ex nihilo ). By simply declaring, “Let there be . . .” he formed and filled the heavens and the earth. Galaxies and geckos, angels and ants, behemoths and babies, the Lord God made them all by the power of his Word. This is more than a historical fact; it is the hope of the ages. The one who created by his Word is renewing and recreating by his Word. His Word became flesh and dwelt among us and he is making all things new.
