A MILESTONE EDITION: CROSSROADS NUMBER 300
DAILY BIBLE READINGS
Bible readings for today, Wednesday, November 25, are: 1 Thessalonians
2:1-12; Luke 12:41-48.
Peter said: Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for
everyone? And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and prudent
manager whom his master will put in charge of his slaves, to give them
their allowance of food at the proper time? Blessed is that slave whom
his master will find at work when he arrives. Truly I tell you, he
will put that one in charge of all his possessions. But if that slave
says to himself, My master is delayed in coming, and if he begins to
beat the other slaves, men and women, and to eat and drink and get
drunk, the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not
expect him and at an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in
pieces. And put him with the unfaithful. That slave who knew what his
master wanted, but did not prepare himself or do what was wanted, will
receive a severe beating. But the one who did not know and did what
deserved a beating will receive a light beating. From everyone to whom
much has been given, m!
uch will be required; and from the one to whom much has been
entrusted, even more will be demanded. (Luke 12:41-48)

SAINTS THADDEUS AND BARTHOLOMEW
This Saturday, November 28, the Armenian Church commemorates Saints
Thaddeus and Bartholomew, two of the twelve apostles, who were the
first evangelizers of Armenia, and were martyred there, giving the
Armenian Church its apostolic identity and earning them the title,
First Enlighteners of Armenia.
Thaddeus came to Armenia about 43 AD to preach
Christianity. He was martyred in southeastern Armenia. His tomb lies
in the Armenian monastery of St. Thaddeus (Iran) where a chapel was
built in the third century.
Bartholomew is believed to have arrived in Armenia about 66
AD. He was martyred in Hadamakert, southeast of Lake Van.
An apostle is someone who is sent, an emissary or ambassador
of the Kingdom of God, sent to announce the Kingdoms coming in Jesus
Christ, and authorized to claim men and womens allegiance to him. We
are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We
beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. (2 Corinthians
5:20)
Armenian Prayer of Thanksgiving
Let us be thankful for the plenteous gifts of our Lord God, who in
sweet bounty nourishes us day by day of His own will, that He may make
His servants share in spiritual goodness and in the heavenly kingdom,
according to the expectation of our hope. Almighty Lord our God,
preserve and have mercy upon us.
