over and over again how critical it is that we cling to the living Word of God - Jesus Christ, revealed in Scripture and imparted to us in the Sacraments. It is so easy for us to fall into the trap of thinking we can, will, or must understand God's revelation fully or that we can or would be able or motivated to come to God on our own terms. Rather, we want to rest on God's promises, look to His revealed will, and accept His Word at face value. What does the Scripture say? Let us hear and receive it. Let us not look to our own understanding, our own ability to illustrate God's presence, our own attitude about what might be productive. Let us look to Christ and him alone, as we open and close our worship in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
