Jeremiah 23:1-6 - Sunday Scripture Reflection

We gather this Sunday for the last Sunday during the season of Pentecost. This long season comes to an end, and we reflect on "end-things" in our belief that Christ will come again. We mark the end of the church year, and begin the season of Advent in just a few days - the season of active waiting. As we end this year and anticipate next year, we read from the prophet Jeremiah and hear the prophet's words about the changing of our world, brought about by the saving action of the Messiah...the One who will redeem and remake all things as God intended. We will reflect on the imagery of the wayward shepherds and discuss the promise of new shepherds who courageously care for God's people.
