This week's episode discusses how God rules over all things, people and elements, through Christ. The Epistle reading completes Romans 12, as it discusses God's eschatological judgment as the rationale for why we can bless our enemies in this life. The Gospel shows how Jesus can heal, and it shows the faith of the Centurion. This is an early example of the Gentiles being brought in to the kingdom. The Old Testament readings come from Isaiah 55 and 56, and they complement the themes of God's righteous judgment, eschatology, the incorporation of the Gentiles, and condemnation of those natural children of the kingdom who presumptuously enriched themselves at the expense of others. Anglican. Book of Common Prayer 1662.
