Sermon Summary

Fr. Christopher Caudle delivers a sermon titled "Time to Finish the Work" in which he discusses the concept of generosity and the pattern of Jesus' actions. He begins by referencing a statement from Saint Paul in 2 Corinthians about completing tasks with eagerness and translating desire into action.

Fr. Christopher emphasizes that Jesus' movement towards those in need is a pattern to follow despite their lack of religiousness. He then examines two healing stories in the Gospel of Mark, one involving Jairus, a synagogue leader, and a woman who had been sick for 12 years. Jairus appeals to Jesus for help to heal his daughter who had died. The woman had been suffering from bleeding and the doctors could not help her. Jesus responds with generosity and healing for both.

Fr. Christopher highlights the importance of living in a "Mana economy" where God provides for all needs and encourages listeners to trust in Jesus' generosity and be willing to make themselves poor for the sake of others. He concludes by urging listeners to experience the generosity of Jesus for themselves and to follow his pattern of selflessness.
