- Title:
- William H. Willimon - "Now" (December 2, 1990)
- Description:
-
Sermon start time: 14:54. Sermon end time: 34:04.
The preacher reads Jesus' stories of the master's absence from his servants as stories about testing. The preacher argues that the time between Jesus’ first and second coming is a time of absence where we feel God’s face is hidden from us. The preacher calls for faithful discipleship during this time of waiting for Christ’s return, for before Jesus left the earth, he entrusted his servants with work to do. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
Key quotation: “Absence is a test. And the return of the master is an occasion for an accounting.”
