The Most Difficult Path to Follow

Lent 2  
 
                                    
Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16

Romans 4:13-25
Mark 8:31-38

Let us pray.  O Lord, teach us this day, to love you as you love us.  Open our eyes, that we might behold your image in us, discern your will for us, and heed your summons to us, not only in our worship but also in our work.  This we pray in the name of our Savior Jesus.  Amen.

Imagine the scene. You are one of the twelve Galileans who have been singled out to follow the most compelling teacher ever to walk the stony hills of your land. You have been with your beloved leader, the one you call Master or Rabbi, for nearly three years now, and increasingly, you watch as more people come to hear him, fascinated by his message about God as a loving father, people longing to be fed, some with words of comfort and many of them literally. And then there are those who are sick or blind, who take up his time, but he gives it freely, healing them and giving them sight in the process. But you, you are not one of the crowd, you are the one who just recently has had his name changed from Simon to Peter. You are Petros, the rock, the stone chosen and cut and named by your beloved Master. You declared the conviction of your heart to him when he asked that stirring question: “Who do you say that I am?” And you, Simon the fisherman, you were the one with the proper answer. “You are the Messiah.”

So now that all of us have imagined the scene and have, somehow, identified with Peter at his triumphant moment of revelation and stunning declaration, let us move with him to the scene that follows. Already, halfway into Mark’s Gospel, we are entering the second part that concentrates on Jesus’ passion. In today’s passage, we are given the first prediction of suffering and death in Mark’s singular style of brevity and immediacy. “Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed . . .” “What? Did he say killed?” The disciples forget all their preoccupations, look at each other stunned, fail to hear the end of the prediction, and then turn to Peter because Jesus seems removed, deep in thought—probably in prayer, they think, for he seems to be always connected to Someone else, always praying. And Peter takes charge again. This simply will not do. No one had ever spoken of the Messiah as having to suffer. After all, the word Messiah, Anointed, is a triumphant word. He grasps Jesus by the arm to move him a bit away from the others, and Jesus allows this, listens to him as Peter rebukes him. What is Peter saying? What does the word rebuke mean? Something like this, perhaps: “How can you speak of suffering and death? Didn’t we agree just the other day that you are the Messiah, the Son of the living God? and you did not dispute it when I declared it to you. Why are you frightening us? Look at all the crowds following you.”

Jesus does not answer him immediately. He pulls away from Peter and turns to look at his disciples, these people he has loved and taught for so many months, the ones on whom he has pinned his hopes that the vision of the kingdom that has set him on fire will do the same for them and that they will continue his mission. He sees that they are stunned and frightened, but mostly confused. He knows that he has the power to change his own course and to comfort them. He remembers his forty days in the wilderness, Satan tempting him with power. Look, if you align with me all these kingdoms will be yours. Just say the word. Forget the one who is pulling you to himself, always to himself, forget your father. Jesus addresses Peter, but his eyes are on all his faithful disciples, for they all matter. If they don’t understand, no one will. “Get behind me, Satan!” he cries out again as he did in the wilderness, directly to Peter, reversing what he had told him in their previous encounter. Now his meaning is just as clear: “Peter, you are thinking of all this in human terms. You are thinking of human power and armies and wealth, and even of violence. But the ways of God are different. Don’t you know this? Haven’t I spoken to you about God’s kingdom?” He sees Peter’s anger and then confusion and immediately his great sadness. And he knows that his dear disciple will go through much agony of spirit and grief before he understands. Now he must teach all of them once again, he must make them understand the values of the kingdom.

His first words are terrible. Do you want to follow me? It will not be easy. I am not promising you power or wealth or importance. First, you recognize that God is the center of your existence, not you, yourself. “Take up your cross,” he tells them, “and follow me.”

In our days, this command is used profanely. “I too have my cross to bear,” someone says of a simple annoyance, and we who have been confronted by the gospel cringe. But in that day, Jesus’ listeners knew what the sentence meant in all its horror. The condemned had to carry their own means of the most horrid death to their crucifixion. This was an awful saying to the ears who first heard it. They knew the reality of Roman cruelty. Later they would come to recognize their teacher’s words more fully: “If you can recognize your own self-centeredness and then discard it, you may follow me. If you understand that the life I call you to lead may cause your own death, you may follow me.”

They quickly learned what we are invited to learn every day. The life we are called to live as Christ-followers is filled with paradox. We gain by losing. We are saved by dying to self. The first become last. The last, the despised, become first. This is no happiness gospel. This is no prosperity gospel. We are not called to make millions while others go hungry. We are not called to live in mansions when others have nowhere to lay their heads.

It was the first day of school.  At noon, the principal noticed that a new first grader was outside with his backpack on waiting at the bus-loading zone.  She went out and asked the boy why he wasn’t in class.  The child answered that it was time to go home.  The principal told him that now that he was in first grade, he would be staying at school all day instead of a half day.  The boy looked at the principal and exclaimed, “Who signed me up for this?!”

Who signed me up for this?  That’s kind of our reaction to a lot of things.  Life has a way of getting a lot more complicated than we had planned on.  
I can just hear Peter say, “Who signed me up for this?”  Taking up one’s cross and following Jesus doesn’t sound so pleasant, or easy, or fun.

The Old Testament Lesson and St. Paul speak of faith and covenants and promises fulfilled because of Abraham’s trust in God. Jesus’ trust in God brought him to the cross. It is the only way we have for understanding what he means when he warns us of the cost of following him. And yet, who would not want to follow him? As Peter said when inspired by the Holy Spirit, “You, Lord, you alone have the words of life eternal.” Thanks be to God.

Let us pray:    Father we give you thanks for the example of Christ—who walked the road to the cross, not knowing, but believing, that you would give him the victory. Help us, O God, to set our eyes upon the victory of Christ that has been promised to us, and set our feet upon the path that leads to it.  We pray in the name of Christ Jesus your Son.  Amen.

Questions in the Wilderness

2/21/2021

Lent I                        
Genesis 9:8-17
1Peter 3:18-22
Mark 1:9-13

Let us pray: Lord God, your ways are holy and good.  Help us to learn them and live them.  As we begin this season of Lent, we pray that you will speak to us in our hearts and in our minds.  Pour out your Spirit upon us in the name of Jesus. Amen.

An old priest in Russia in the days of the Czars was stopped by a Royal guard. Pointing a gun the guard asked gruffly: “What is your name? Why are you here? Where are you going?”  The priest looked at the soldier and asked, “How much do they pay you to ask these questions?” The solider replied, “Three kopeks a month.” “I’ll pay you 30 kopeks a month if you will stop me every week and ask me those same questions,” the priest said.   Pretty good questions:  “What is your name? Why are you here? Where are you going?” Today's readings might make us wonder what season of the church year we are really in. We hear the stuff of rainbows in Genesis, the great signs of baptism in First Peter, the skies opening and the Spirit descending in Mark. The theme is the same: God's Word is shattering the remnants of an old creation and making it all new. Light is coming out of darkness, color is scattered by raindrops, a new life is rising from the waters of baptism, and a Savior stands up, anointed by the Spirit in the waters of the Jordan. This is symbolism of Epiphany, the season we are leaving. We all have been there. Do you remember the joy and wonder of the last beautiful sunset you stopped to watch? Do you remember how reading a good book so transformed your point-of-view that the world would never, ever look the same? Perhaps it was a dinner with someone you loved, or a piece of music you heard that haunted you with its beauty. For some, it was the experience of a fabulous retreat, or a vacation in an exotic place, or maybe a long walk in the woods, or even a swim at the beach. For others it was standing on a lofty mountain.  The list is as endless as our own experiences, but we all know these times. They shape our lives; remake them, pushing us around a corner where we bump into joy. These are all epiphanies, just as real, if not more so than the experiences of Noah and his family leaving the ark, of Jesus being baptized in the Jordan River.  In these times, God speaks – much in Genesis, making promises and covenants. In Mark's brief Gospel the divine voice immediately gives Jesus identity: "Sonship," a term that places him immediately in the center of God's heart. In the same way, God spoke to us all in Epiphany, the season we are just leaving, and in our own countless experiences where we were met with something greater, more loving, and more compassionate than we can possibly imagine. It is very human for us to want to stay there, to enjoy that sunset forever, to grasp a warm moment and cling to it for the peace it brings, the richness that touches our hearts, minds, and bodies so deeply that words fail us. We want to stay in Epiphany, smiling at the image of the Christ child, rejoicing with Simeon in the temple, marveling at the transfiguration of Jesus. Do you remember what Peter said? To put his reaction into modern words, "Let's build a place to live up here, so we can wake up each morning and admire the view. Let's capture the moment and have it for ourselves right here, forever if we can." Uh oh, here comes the nasty part. Epiphany is over. Lent is here. All faithful Christians should start to think about penance. Suddenly, we are required to get penitential. Surely we've already discussed or at least thought about what we intend to give up for Lent: maybe chocolate or bowling; perhaps that second piece of cake? But this sort of penance is actually not the heart of today's Gospel at all. It is the wilderness experience that is at the heart of these stories. In four short verses, Mark gets straight to the nuts and bolts of the matter: Jesus' "Sonship" is revealed, and immediately he is driven into the wilderness. Both are part of one action by God. They don't make sense separately. In the Genesis story, the wilderness is more implied than discussed. But it is most certainly present. Surely, the once-flooded earth was not a beautiful garden when Noah left the ark. We can only imagine that the ancient storytellers envisioned a wasteland, and a soggy one at that, waiting patiently to be tilled and cultivated, settled and repopulated. The author of First Peter knew what it meant to be baptized in the late first-century church. It meant joining a counter-cultural movement that was at risk of being persecuted. It meant entering a social wilderness where old friendships and ties no longer counted, and social status meant very little. Even family ties were at risk. As distant as this image may seem to us, we are closer to the ancient church than we might think. Christianity is no longer the social center of our culture, and in some ways the Gospel is calling us to become increasingly counter-cultural. The baptism of Jesus and his wilderness temptations bind us to him in important ways.  The temptations Jesus faced and conquered are the same ones we face.  It has far less to do with eating and drinking too much of the wrong thing at the wrong time.  Sin of the kind Jesus encounters and from which he would have us repent is yielding to the temptation to be less than we really are.  Sin means adopting a life direction that conflicts with God's call.  Jesus was rejecting sin when he chose to be the Messiah God wanted and not the Messiah the world wants.   Jesus had to decide who he is going to be.  This is a choice all of us face.  Will we really be the person God wants us to be? Choosing to be the person God wants us to be is not always easy.  Sometimes the choices are very difficult.   Now we are oriented towards Lent, entering our own wilderness experiences. As individuals we are immediately challenged to look into our own hearts.  Our own epiphanies will begin to transform even our worst attributes into something beautiful. As the corporate Body of Christ, we are called to embrace anew the fresh challenges that await us in the world, carrying the Light of Christ into the world around us, risking our security, and even our strength, hoping to re-ignite the fires of love and justice in human hearts around us. These are admirable callings. Everyday penance is easier. Giving up a golf game is simpler. Saying, "No thank you," to a second helping of dessert takes very little effort by comparison. Attempting to transform ourselves and the world around us; preparing for a life with Christ, which was, in fact, the original intention of Lent; making the old new and the darkness light: this is what it means to enter the wilderness. This is what Lent is all about. We can't escape the wilderness. Even Jesus needed to enter it. So the question of Lent is not what we should give up, but rather what are we going to embrace as a new way to walk, challenging and hopeful? What wilderness lies just over the next hill for us to bravely enter and grow into? It may be as close as the nearest nursing home, a poor neighbor's kitchen, a struggling student's homework, an empty heart waiting to hear a kind word. Or it may be as "far away" as Third World hunger, global corporate greed, or other forms of injustice.  We were created for a purpose and we will never know true peace until we have discovered that purpose and made it our own.  In their book Bruce & Stan Search for the Meaning of Life, authors Bruce Bickel and Stan Jantz interviewed people in major cities around the U. S. about their opinions on the meaning of life. One high-powered executive from Portland, Oregon, remarked with some degree of sadness, “I was having an annual physical. Just when I thought my doctor had finished, the doctor said he had one more question for me. He asked me, ‘Are you doing what you were put on Earth to do?’ I couldn’t give him an answer,” says the executive. “I just cried.”  How sad. Not to realize who you are and why you’re here. Listen. There’s someone who wants to help you find your purpose. His name is Jesus of Nazareth. That’s why he came into the world. That’s why he was baptized by John. That’s why he spent time in the wilderness of temptation. That’s why he taught his disciples. That is why he suffered on the cross and then rose from the dead. It is to say to us, “Life matters. You were created by a loving God whose purpose is that you should live abundantly through a right relationship with God and a right relationship with those around you. You are not an accident of the universe.”   So, to end with the three questions with which I began (and you won’t have to pay me 30 kopeks): What is my name?  Hopefully, it is Christian, follower of Jesus Christ. – I will leave the last two for you to answer. -- Why am I here? – Where am I going? 

​ Let us pray:  Lord God, You gave your Son to die for our sins and we give ourselves to you in repentance and faith.  Help us to answer the wilderness questions and we trust you not to make life easy, but to make it real, worthwhile and eternal.  In the name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Last Epiphany  (Transfiguration)                       
1 Kings 2:1-12
2 Corinthians 4:3-6
Mark 9:2-9    

Let us pray:  Gracious God, speak to us now and help us to listen.  Lead us up the mountain with you and transfigure us.  Amen.

We human beings are a strange mixture of belief and doubt. We say we believe something, but there is always doubt present. I guess it is part of being human. The Bible says we see only in part now as through a dark glass. We can't understand everything in the world around us. So we are always questioning what we believe to be the truth. I guess faith and doubt are like two sides of a coin. Without one the other would be meaningless. 


But thank God we still venture to believe despite our doubts. Even though we can't see God, some of us still believe that God exists. Despite all the evil in the world we still believe that God is in control and that God is good. If we do not admit however that we have doubts then we are fooling ourselves. One day a man came to Jesus. He was a leper and wanted to be healed. Jesus asked him if he believed. He said, "Yes Lord I believe. Help my unbelief." He was honest with Jesus and we should follow his example. We need to admit that we are all a mixture of doubt and belief. 

Jesus' disciples were no different. They believed and yet they doubted also. One day Jesus asked them who people were saying he was. They said, "Some say Elijah or John the Baptist come back." Then Jesus said, "Who do you say I am?" And Peter said, "You are the Messiah." He believed in Jesus and was the first disciples to say so out loud. 

But then Jesus started saying that he must go to Jerusalem to be rejected and killed. Peter didn't like the sound of this. He probably began to doubt not only Jesus' divinity but his sanity as well. Mark says that Peter took Jesus aside and rebuked him. He didn't merely ask for a clarification of something he had trouble understanding. He rebuked Jesus and told him he was wrong. If Peter believed without a doubt that Jesus was the Messiah, he would have accepted whatever Jesus said as the Gospel truth. But he questioned what Jesus told him and doubted. 

This incident demonstrates that Peter, the chief apostle, was a mixture of belief and doubt. Don't misunderstand. Peter did believe. He honestly believed that Jesus was the Messiah. But at the same time he doubted. He questioned the truth of Jesus' teaching when it didn't make perfect sense to him. 

Peter and the other disciples had to live with this mixture of faith and doubt just as all humans do. So Jesus took them on a journey to help them grow in faith. It took six days of walking to reach the destination: a mountain. Then Jesus took three of the disciples: Peter, James and John up a mountain to pray. Some scholars believe that this mountain was Mt. Hebron. Mt. Hebron is 9200 feet up and its summit is always covered with snow. 

So it was quite a hike to the top. At the top something happened. Jesus was transfigured. His clothes became an unearthly white and his face glowed. Moses and Elijah were standing there with him as a testimony to Jesus' holiness. Then a voice came from heaven and said, "This is my Beloved Son, do as he says." 

I believe that this happened to confirm their faith. They believed that Jesus was the Messiah but at the same time they probably wondered if he was not mistaken about going to Jerusalem to die. But despite their doubt they followed Jesus to the mountain. They even hiked to the top of a high cold mountain. And God showed them that Jesus was the Messiah, and their faith was strengthened. 

Like the disciples you and I are a mixture of belief and doubt. If we are honest with ourselves we can all join that leper in saying, "Lord I believe. Help my unbelief." Even faithful people, like the apostle Peter, have doubts. "Lord I believe. Help my unbelief." That is the prayer of a true disciple. Anything less is a failure to be honest with ourselves and with God. 

We all have doubts, and one of the main areas of doubt is that Jesus actually is the Son of God. Like Peter people say Jesus is the Messiah, but they doubt at the same time. Many people say they believe that Jesus is the son of God, but they have never committed their lives to him. They accept the historical premise that Jesus is God's Son. But they are unwilling to base their lives on that. Many who say they believe Jesus is the Son of God are unwilling to set aside the time to worship him on a regular basis. They believe, but not enough to give up a hour a week for study and worship. Or to give some time to him in prayer or service. But all of us have some level of doubt. Even those who have committed their lives fully to Christ have room to grow. No matter how deep our faith in Christ is, there are always new depths to discover. 

And yet Jesus' sonship is at the cornerstone of our faith. Maybe that is why people have doubts about Jesus from time to time. After all if he was only a great moral teacher and not the only begotten Son of God, then his teachings are no more important than say Buddha's. There were many healers in Jesus day. If he was not God's son than he was just another healer. If he was not God's son than he could not have died for our sins and we would have to rely on our own moral ability and good works to save us. And we know no one is saved by works. Perhaps people doubt Jesus' divinity because it is so central to our faith. 

We all have doubts. When you have doubts, just follow Jesus anyway. There are some people who believe they should just sit still until they get it all figured out. They say they will start going to church after they are finished reading the Bible and understand it. Or they won't make a commitment to Christ until they are free of all doubts. It'll never happen!

That's not the way Jesus works. When Jesus called Peter and the others, he didn't say come and I will explain everything to you then we will minister. He said, "Follow me and I will make you fish for people." Christians learn on their feet while they walk. Jesus believes in on-the-job training. Every Christian needs to take classes, but we also need to sign up for an internship. We must follow to learn and grow. If we try to learn it all then follow, we will never learn a thing.

Have you ever heard the saying, "If you want to have faith, live as if you had it." That doesn't mean that you should put on a religious show as if you had faith. It is saying that we should step out in faith especially when we doubt. Because it is only when we step out in faith that our faith is verified and our doubts are quieted.

Step out in faith like Peter, James and John. They doubted, yet they followed Jesus up that mountain and their faith was confirmed and strengthened. In the same way we must follow Jesus up the mountain. Even though it seems an uphill struggle and your doubts nag at you continue to step out in faith. And you will see for yourself that Jesus is the Beloved Son of God.

Let us pray:  Heavenly Father help us to listen to your Son, whom you have chosen.  Help us listen to the one whose face not only shone - but his entire being, for in listening we ourselves will be transformed, and your perfect light will cast out the darkness of sin and death.  Blessed be the God of Moses and Elijah, and blessed be the name of his Son, Christ Jesus our Lord.  Amen.

Being Lifted Up

Epiphany 5
Isaiah 40-21-31 
1 Corinthians 9:16-23
Mark 1:29-39

Let us pray:  Gentle and gracious God, calm our minds where they are troubled, ease our bodies where they are weary, soothe our spirits where they are in turmoil.  Teach us to find our strength in the love of Christ so we may know that when we are serving others we are serving Him.  Amen.

Some time ago, a commercial for the drug Prozac was "singing the praises" so to speak, of this wonder drug for human emotions. A cheerful, vivacious woman in her mid-life years was telling how she had never felt better since she started taking Prozac. Life was now full of happiness and she didn't worry about the "little things" any more.

It was a kind of a pharmaceutical Isaiah 40:31, "They that take their Prozac shall renew their strength!"   One doctor said he received a flood of calls when the ad first aired.  "Some of my patients actually demanded that I put them on the drug," he said. Personally, the ad seemed like something that would be televised on behalf of marijuana if the drug were legalized.

There is even a web site -- prozac.com that gives information on the benefits of the drug 17 million Americans are now taking.

I want to be careful to say that this drug, manufactured by the Eli Lilly company is indeed the treatment of choice for some people who struggle with depression. 

There is, however, a very strong spiritual prescription that relates to the joy of life in today's text from Isaiah.  Millions of people are missing out on this prescription.  It can help in the recovery of joy for living.

"They who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength."

Our readings for today and particularly the Gospel of Mark point to two central issues for our lives today.  I would like for us to think about these issues in the form of two questions which we can only begin to answer in the short time we have. Fully answering these questions in a way that will impact our lives will require some reflection in each of our lives.
"Where do we get our strength for living?"
"What are we to do with this strength when we receive it?"

Another way to put this is, where do you personally get your energy or vitality for life and living?  Do you have times when you seem to run out of energy or simply find yourself exhausted with everything?   Those who remember the "energy crisis" of the seventies will remember the long lines waiting for gasoline and the scare that there would not be enough energy.  You can almost translate that image directly into what it means to say there is a kind of stress induced emotional energy crisis being experienced by many people today.  

The second major issue the gospel reading lifts up has to do with meaning and purpose in our living.  "Why do you want energy?"   There is a wonderful line in the classic movie, "The Wizard of Oz" when Dorothy says to the straw man, "What would you do with a brain if you had one?"  It is in Dorothy's innocent and honest spirit that I ask of you, "What would you do with energy if you had some?"

The good news is that God's desire is for us to rise up from the lethargy that has stolen our vitality.  That's why Jesus said, "I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly." [John 10:10] There is an inherent recognition here that life is not what it was designed to be, so Jesus adds the "more abundantly" to the idea of having life.

Now to the question, "Why do you want vitality?"    Most of us would answer along the line of wanting more energy for living because we are tired... worn out... stressed out.  

The short answer to the question is, "I want energy so that I can live the life God intended for me to live."

Listen to these words from our lectionary readings:
"The Lord lifts up the downtrodden..."  Ps. 147:6
"Those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength...
they shall mount up with wings like eagles."  Is. 40:31

"He gives power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless."  Is. 40:29
"He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up." Mk. 1:31

The simple story of Jesus coming to the home of Simon points to the heart of what it means to be "picked up -- or lifted up."   Jesus restores the vitality of Simon's mother-in-law so that she can live a life of fellowship with and service to the Lord.  Note, "Then the fever left her and she began to serve them."

(This is not to say Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law so she could become a waitress!   Rather, the natural response of being with Christ is a desire to serve.)

Here is the central message of the scriptures.   God is the Creator, the One who gave us life and in whose hands the gift of life is intended to remain.  We receive the gift of life and then the gift of new life from the hand of God and -- we are designed to live in fellowship with and service to the Lord.

Our reading from Mark demonstrates what it means to receive strength from Christ and how that strength is used to serve him.  No one can deny that we live in troubled and stressful times.

And so -- there is an urgent message to take to our world.   When Jesus is out praying before the sun comes up, his disciples awaken to find him gone.  They go searching for him to tell him that everyone is looking for him.   His healing ministry brought the crowds who wanted their vitality restored.   But Jesus says they have to stay on the move, "Let us go to the neighboring towns, so that I may proclaim the message there also; for that is what I came to do."

The message is urgent!  It was then and it is today.

In the Epistle reading, Paul says that he is under divine obligation to preach the gospel.  He goes so far as to say, "woe to me if I do not proclaim the gospel!"  says he has been entrusted with a commission and that he will do everything possible to reach people with the good news of God's divine intent for our lives.

You and I are under that same obligation and entrusted with that same good news.  What kind of friend would I be if someone I called friend was suffering from an illness and I withheld information about a possible cure?

We cannot imagine such a thing.

Here is a cure for much that robs people today of quality of life:
"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength...
they shall mount up with wings like eagles."
 



Let us pray:  Gracious God, help us to see with your eyes, to reach out with your touch, to love with your heart, and to respond  always in your gentleness, all in the name of Jesus our Savior and Lord.  Amen.
