The divine service involves us in a regular act of pilgrimage from earth
to heaven and back again. There are two sides to that journey. With Christ we
travel from our earthly homes to our holy place of worship, the assembly of the
saints in the presence of God. Then we return along the same way from that
heavenly place to our earthly location. Yet our journey along the holy way does
not end when we come home; the triune God goes with us his holy people
everywhere in our daily lives. That is why he commissions us as his priests at
the end of the service to bring his love and his blessings to the people that
we meet as we go about our ordinary business.
