Thoughts from the Lectionary for the Eighth Sunday after Trinity.
From the Epistle Lesson: Romans 8:12 - 17
Vs. 15 "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father."
Though still clothed in their bodies of flesh, Christians have been set free from their servitude to sin and death. By the power of the Holy Ghost they have been adopted into the Family of God. Though they still may be weak and frail in the flesh and sometimes fall, God is their Heavenly Father and will hear their cries and provide strength in their time of need. For they are joint-heirs with Christ their Lord and as they rely on Him in their sufferings they will in time be glorified together with Him.
All praise to God, because He has adopted us as His children. The King is our Father and with Christ, we are heirs of the Kingdom.
Blessings,
