All week long I have been struggling with the Revised Common Lectionary readings for tomorrow. The gospel is about Jesus on the cross between two criminals. Really! Just days before Thanksgiving and a month from Christmas Eve?!?! How is this going to preach? What in the world should be the focus? How does this relate to Christ being King, which is the focus for Sunday, when he appears to be so weak and broken?
As I sat down to put together the sermon, however, all seemed to come together. The Holy Spirit was at work and things began to make sense. We will see if the sermon preaches. But today, I am grateful for some understanding, and direction, after all the questioning.
Blessings.
