All of history culminates in a meal – the great marriage supper of the Lamb! The beast and his armies have been defeated; the great prostitute has been judged. The blood of the martyrs has been avenged! And all of heaven rejoices because the church, his bride, is prepared and ready. The marriage of the Lamb has come and he is worthy to rule and reign and receive the glory of all creation!When we gather as the church, we gather as the hors d’oeuvres of this coming feast. We anticipate it’s arrival; we eagerly look froward to the day when Jesus and his people spend forever together in a Kingdom where all things are made new. But that also means that our gathering – in our homes around our dinner tables and in our church around the communion table – should have the pleasing aroma of that day! Our life together should be the sweet morsel that whets appetites for the greater meal to come. Is your life a fitting aroma? Do you smell like the Kingdom? How do we live together as a corporate body that offers a small taste of what’s to come?

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight Unknown Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a late 14th-century Middle English alliterative romance outlining an adventure of Sir Gawain, a knight of King Arthur's Round Table. In the tale, Sir Gawain accepts a challenge from a mysterious warrior who is completely green, from his clothes and hair to his beard and skin. The "Green Knight" offers to allow anyone to strike him with his axe if the challenger will take a return blow in a year and a day. Gawain accepts, and beheads him in one blow, only to have the Green Knight stand up, pick up his head, and remind Gawain to meet him at the appointed time. The story of Gawain's struggle to meet the appointment and his adventures along the way demonstrate the spirit of chivalry and loyalty. (Wikipedia) This 20th Century rendering is by WA Neilson. Epics and Romances of the Middle Ages by Wilhelm Wägner (1800 - 1886) LibriVox This volume contains the principal hero-lays of the six great epic cycles of the Teutonic Middle Ages: The Langobardian Legends, the Amelung and Kindred Legends; Dietrich of Bern's Adventures; the Nibelung Legends; the Hegeling Legends; and Beowulf. To them, the author has added the great mythical Carolingian cycle, which centred round the persons of Charlemagne and his heroes, and the Breton ones of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, as well as the legend of the Holy Grail. Therefore, this one book tells all of the great epic and romances of the Middle Ages in accessible language for the general public.
