The great supper

Those invited to the great feast had no interest in it because of what was tangible in front of their eyes: a plot of ground, five yoke of oxen, a wife. They did not see the great benefit of this supper. Let us repent of our like blindness, that we may not miss it, for here is the feast of heaven. This is Christ himself, the Creator and Redeemer of us all. Here is his Body and his Blood, the very elements of our atonement, which forgives our sins a thousand times over. Here angels bend the knee and worship, even though he was not given for them. He was given for you! Come, for all things are now ready. Sermon for the Second Sunday after Trinity.
