Thoughts from the Lectionary for the Twentieth Sunday after Trinity
From the Epistle Lesson: Ephesians 5:15-21
Vs. 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Paul here tells the Christians at Ephesus to walk wisely and not to live in a foolish manner like some. In verse 16 he says to “redeem the time”. What does this mean exactly? It means to “buy up” every opportunity we could possibly avail ourselves of to “live the Gospel”. Living our lives as a sacrificial testimony to Jesus Christ. Warring against the evil of the age and occupying territory in the name of Almighty God.
Onward Christian Soldiers! Marching as to war! With the Cross of Jesus going on before!
