SUMMARY:Fourth Sunday after Pentecost (Three Year Lectionary—Series B) (Proper 6B)
DESCRIPTION:Ezekiel 17:22–24\nPsalm 1\n2 Corinthians 5:1–10 (11–17)\nMark 4:26–34\nThe Cross of Christ Is the Tree of Life, Which Bears Abundant Fruit after Its Own Kind\nThe parables of our Lord convey the mysteries of the kingdom of God to those who are “able to hear it,” that is, “to his own disciples,” who are catechized to fear, love and trust in Him by faith (Mark 4:33–34). He scatters “seed on the ground,” which “sprouts and grows” unto life, even as “he sleeps and rises” (Mark 4:26–27). “On the mountain height of Israel,” He plants a young and tender twig, and it becomes “a noble cedar.” Indeed, His own cross becomes the Tree of Life, under which “every kind of bird” will dwell, and in which “birds of every sort will nest” (Ezek. 17:22–25). His cross is our resting place, even while now in mortal bodies, we “groan, being burdened” (2 Cor. 5:1–4). Yet in faith, we live for God in Christ, who for our sake “died and was raised” (2 Cor. 5:15). We know that, in His resurrected body, “we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens” (2 Cor. 5:1).\n
