Sermon Archive 2012 SERMON ARCHIVE 2012 Swedenborgian Community Online The Lord in the New Year January 1, 2012 READINGS From the Bible John 14: 8-12 8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” 9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. From Swedenborg True Christian Religion, #81 81. In the preceding chapter God the creator, together with creation, has been treated of. This chapter will treat of the Lord the redeemer, together with redemption; and the next chapter of the Holy Spirit, together with the Divine operation. By the Lord the redeemer we mean Jehovah in the human; for in what follows it will be shown that Jehovah himself descended and assumed a human in order that he might effect redemption. The name Lord is used and not Jehovah, because the Jehovah of the Old Testament is called the Lord in the New, as is shown in the following passages. In Moses: Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God is one Jehovah; and thou shalt love Jehovah God with all thy heart and with all thy soul (Deut. 6:4, 5); and in Mark: The Lord our God is one Lord; and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul (Mark 12:29, 30). Again, in Isaiah: Prepare ye the way of Jehovah, make level in the wilderness a highway for our God (Isa. 40:3); and in Luke: Thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his way (Luke 1:76); besides other MESSAGE Before I discovered Swedenborg, I was a seminary student at the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, MA. It was in the early days of the Feminist-Liberation Theology Program there. Many of us would frequently change the word “Lord” in songs and liturgy to “God.” We saw “Lord” as a hierarchical term of authority, and one that was usually masculine. “God,” however, had no connotations of power or authority or gender. It could comfortably be the “creator” and the “ground of all being” for all of us. When I became involved in the Swedenborgian Church, I was quite uncomfortable with the frequent use of “the Lord.” Swedenborg sometimes spoke of “God,” and I couldn’t understand why he didn’t use “God” all of the time. It took me awhile to realize that Swedenborg had very different and specific meanings for “God” and “the Lord.” When Swedenborg talks about the creator of the world, he refers to God. He says that he uses that term in the way that “Jehovah” is used in the Old Testament. 5. As the acknowledgment of God from knowledge of God is The very essence and soul of the entire contents of theology, it is Necessary that the unity of God should be the first thing treated off. This shall be set forth in order in the following sections: (1) The entire Holy Scripture, and the doctrines therefrom of the Churches in the Christian world, teach that God is one. (2) There is a universal influx [from God] into the souls of men Of the truth that there is a God, and that he is one. Part of the ultimate plan of the Creator God/Jehovah, was to come to earth and take on human form. This is where Swedenborg veers away from most of Christianity. Christians generally believe that God sent his son, Jesus, into the world. Then Jesus left the Holy Spirit, and there was a trinity: Father, son, Holy Spirit. Swedenborg is quite insistent that Jesus was God taking on human form; not God producing a son. There is only one God, and that one God came to earth in human form with the name of “Jesus.” As Jesus took on his earthly ministry, he started to call himself “Lord.” He was God in a human manifestation. As he walked the earth, his divine nature and human became more closely intertwined. It is similar to our own regeneration, where we bring our human self into complete relationship with the divine. In some traditions, the goal is to rid oneself of all human attributes to strive to be more like the divine. To Swedenborg, however, our humanity is just as important as our divinity; for the Lord is the Divine Human. We are not to try and diminish our humanity, but rather to elevate it into union with divinity. The life of Jesus is a model on how to do that. Often, the “Lord” is used in Christianity as Jesus, the son of God on earth, and the risen Christ. With the Holy Spirit this completes the trinity. Because Swedenborg does not accept a “trinity,” his use of the term “the Lord” is the Creator/Jehovah who came to earth in human form and is now a complete Divine Human. “God” to Swedenborg is generally Jehovah before taking on a human manifestation. Swedenborg's rejection of "trinity" is confusing, however, for he does recognize three ways that the Lord can be expressed: as Love, as Wisdom, and as Action in the world or Good, Truth, and Charity. This concept of Swedenborg’s sort of gutted the essence of mainstream Christianity - esp. as taught by Luther --that what you did in the world was not all that important as long as you accepted the correct belief before your death. That correct belief was that Jesus was the son of God who died to give you salvation. If you believed that at the time of your death, you would go to heaven even if you had lived a very evil life. However, if you lived a life of love, but didn’t have that particular belief about Jesus, you went to hell. That’s why Swedenborg’s concept of the “the Lord” opens the door to an acceptance of all religious traditions. Next week, we’ll look more at how this plays out in our relationships with other faith traditions today. On swedenborgiancommunity.org we use a variety of terms to refer to the One God – the Divine Human, including “God”, or “Divine” or “Divine Human” or “Love and Wisdom” or “Creator” or “Lord” or “spirit.” We encourage each person to find the word or words that best helps him or her find the Divine Human. When you pray, what terms help you feel connected with the Divine Human? Let us Pray: [prayer contributed by Rev. Judith] Beloved Lord, our creator, protector, comforter and guide in all things. Help us with Your Inspiration and Care to regenerate into all that we can be. Show us how to achieve Peace, Prosperity, Unity, Harmony and Brotherhood in our world. Show us how to be better Christians and to serve you through our special talents. Thank you for the wonderful year ahead and for the power everyday to do your will. We humbly thank you for the Great year ahead and for opening us to Your Inspiration. Amen. " The Cosmic Christ January 8, 2012 READINGS From the Bible John 15 New International Version (NIV) John 15 Vine and the Branches “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. From Swedenborg Divine Providence: 28 [2] [2] Now I need to say something about how that union happens and what it is like. There is a union of the Lord with angels and a union of angels with the Lord; so it is a mutual relationship. The Lord flows into the love of angels' lives, and angels accept the Lord in their wisdom, in this way uniting themselves to the Lord in return. It needs to be clearly understood, though, that although it seems to angels that they are uniting themselves to the Lord through their wisdom, in fact the Lord is uniting them to himself through that wisdom, since their wisdom also comes from the Lord.
