The time of visitation and the things that belong to peace

Jesus weeps over Jerusalem because they didn't recognize him as their God in the flesh, and they therefore rejected his peace, that which came to pass when he gave himself into death for the sin of the world. They sought an earthly kingdom and earthly glory, much as the Joel Osteens of the world and the megachurches seek after worldly glory in place of the simplicity of Christ in his humility and today also in his simple sacraments. So let us know the things that belong unto our peace, the body and blood of the Incarnate One which bring to pass peace between heaven and earth. Sermon for Trinity IX. The video is here.
