Call to Action

“You know what time it is, how it is now the moment for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers; the night is far gone, the day is near.”

Our reading from the Letter to the Romans this week is a call to alertness and action, to take up the practice of our faith with the focus and vigor of a promised new beginning. “Salvation is nearer to us now” because the God of our Salvation approaches. Jesus is coming, again. It is a matter of the great urgency and greater hope.
