Twenty Second Sunday of the Year (A) – August 30, 2020 When I Twenty Second Sunday of the Year (A) – August 30, 2020 When I read this Gospel the phrase ‘quit while you are ahead’ comes to mind! Last Sunday, in answer to the question “Who do you say that I am?”, Peter answered with great enthusiasm, insight and commitment, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God”, and in response to this insight, faith, trust and commitment Jesus affirms him as ‘the rock’ (literally ‘rocky’) upon which the Church, Christ’s Church, the communion of faith, is to be built. And now Jesus declares that Peter is an obstacle to his mission, and even calls him Satan, who is THE obstacle to everything Christ wishes to accomplish. Yes, Peter (like us) has feet of clay, and the tendency to undermine not only the mission of Jesus but also himself. It does not take much for us to have the rug pulled from under us, we think we have everything sown up, and then all of a sudden we discover we are heading down the wrong path, in the wrong direction, and the good we have achieved is being undone because of our foolish comments, unwelcome or unjust behavior. We undo the good we have done. From this encounter one can feel, experience, the sheer frustration of Jesus. He has a mission to accomplish which demands more than personal declarations of faith, however accurate, insightful and beautiful they are. While I can understand Jesus’ frustration, I can also understand Peter’s reaction to what Jesus announces, that he will suffer and be killed, but will rise on the third day. We could easily miss the last part of this proclamation, that he will rise on the third day, if our minds and hearts were captured by the first part of what Jesus says, that he would suffer and die. If a relative or friend declared to me that he or she was going to suffer and die at the hands of others, my first reaction would be to see what we could do, what could be done to avoid such an outcome, after all we don’t want anyone we love to suffer, and we will do whatever is possible to find a way through it, to see if it can be avoided. But this is where Jesus’ frustration comes in. Being called, referred to as Satan would certainly have woken Peter up, shaken him out of any kind of complacency. Jesus is not going to change course with Peter, he is not going to take away the responsibility he has given him, he just wants him to get on board with what lies ahead, with the mission he has to fulfill as the Christ, the Savior, the Son of the Living God. I am sure Jesus was not looking forward to what was becoming inevitable as he continued his mission of salvation, but complete it he must, whatever the cost. There are times when we hope situations are not going to turn out as some predict, or believe to be inevitable because of the way things are progressing, because of the direction they are heading in. We all hope and pray that there is going to be an end to the racial tension and division appearing on our TVs and in our newspapers nearly every day. We want the rioting and looting to end, peaceful demonstrations in the cause of righteousness is one thing, but not the destruction of people’s livelihoods and neighborhoods. Injustice can be exploited by those who simply enjoy a fight, who use it as a means to advance their own divisive agenda. Some people actually enjoy creating division and tension, stirring the pot, they seem to thrive on it. But we must always look to find, discover, the underlying causes of injustice, and root them out. Until the underlying causes are redeemed, transformed, injustice remains on both sides of the law. Jesus’ mission is about redemption, salvation. He has to embrace all the underlying causes of injustice, everything that divides us from one another and our God: sin, suffering and death. Someone has to, in order to prove there is a way out, a way of hope, the promise of new life, the promise of resurrection. And this ‘someone’ can only be God. Jesus was not the Messiah, the Savior, people expected. They were expecting a victorious warrior King, who would drive out all their enemies and affirm their promised land. Yes, there was quite a bit of razzamatazz surrounding Savior Jesus. He changed gallons of water into wine (that’s my kind of Savior), fed thousands with a few loaves and two fish, raised the dead, walked across water, calmed storms (we have enough of them). But he also spoke of gentleness and mercy, peace, and forgiveness (even for one’s enemies), of turning the other cheek rather than resorting to vengeful acts or hateful words, to love and hope beyond reason. This was a different kind of ‘Messiah agenda’ than the one they were expecting, so it’s no wonder the Apostles, such as Peter, had difficulty in embracing the mission according to Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God. With this God nothing is forced upon anyone, everything is a gift freely given, and freely received. Being forced to do something, to believe someone, leads to resentment rather than faith. Jesus is inviting Peter and the apostles to get on board his Savior’s bus, and not to climb aboard another. In today’s first reading the Prophet Jeremiah is obviously not a happy camper. He believes he has been misled, duped by God. He believes God has seduced him, and he is mad, upset, let down. He has spoken God’s Word to the people, and it has brought him nothing but misery. We can feel let down by God. I have tried to do everything right, yet my world seems to be collapsing around me. I have been duped into believing that nothing is impossible for God, that nothing can separate me from God’s love, that in every situation I can find redemption, salvation, a way through. But that is not my experience. Faith does not remove us from reality, but affirms God’s presence within it. Jesus is THE realist. This is why he is frustrated with Peter. Peter would like to avoid the reality of Christ’s mission, the suffering and death, maybe to protect himself from it. Does he deny Jesus three times in order to avoid being crucified next to him? Is it a natural human response to avoid the possibility of suffering, even if it requires denial of someone you love? I don’t think we naturally throw ourselves into a situation of suffering unless it is inevitable and cannot possibly be avoided. I am sure parents would do so for their children, it would be a natural reaction. If their son or daughter is suffering, the natural response of a parent is their willingness, their cry, to embrace their child’s suffering. This is probably a very good way to understand the intention of Jesus as Savior, his willingness to embrace, take on, suffering and death, to redeem them, to redeem us. If a child is wounded in some way, a parent’s hug goes a long way to redeem it, making it better, as if the parent has taken the suffering to themselves. This is what Jesus wants Peter to understand. Certain things can’t be avoided, but rather embraced for the greater good. Jesus wants Peter, the apostles, and us, to always see the bigger picture. Taking up one’s cross does not mean running around looking for suffering, embracing difficulties, going out of our way to be duped and undermined, it simply means embracing life as it is, with its joys and suffering, its blessings and limitations. It is no good wishing that we were someone else. This is our life, a gift from God, and even its rough and hard moments are steps toward happiness. While Jeremiah did not like feeling duped, misled by God, he continued to be the prophet God invited him to be. He continued to preach God’s Word and proclaim the truth to his people, even though it did not win him many friends, and made his personal life difficult and somewhat unhappy. He accepted the reality of his mission. By accepting who we are, the situation we are in, what we are going through at a particular time, and what lies ahead, amounts to carrying our cross. In my home parish in the UK there was a young man called Jonathan, a brilliant clarinetist, who played at my ordination. He went onto to the Royal College of Music, and has been a member of a number of famous orchestras. A couple of years ago, while running down a hill to catch his London bus, he slipped, rolled over and broke his neck and back, and this freak accident paralyzed him from the neck down, at least initially, things have slightly improved. I was in the UK not long after the accident and able to visit him. He amazed me. He was not bitter, no questioning ‘why me’, no blaming anyone else. He embraced his situation with the determination to get better, to move his body muscles. And he has made great progress, beyond what was expected. And I will never forget what he said to me from his hospital bed. He told me that the accident had actually redeemed him, redeemed him from an abusive relationship, an addiction to drugs, decisions that had severed his relationship with his family, whom he dearly loved.

  • Mortgages, Housing and Monetary Policy – What Lies Ahead?
    Mortgages, housing and monetary policy – what lies ahead? Speech given by David Miles, External Member of the Monetary Policy Committee, Bank of England To the Northern Housing Consortium, York Racecourse 22 November 2011 I would like to thank Jochen Schanz and Arpad Moritz for research assistance, and others for helpful comments. The views expressed are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of the Bank of England or other members of the Monetary Policy Committee. All speeches are available online at www.bankofengland.co.uk/publications/speeches 1 Introduction Many years ago I wrote a book with the less than memorable title: “Housing, Financial Markets and the Wider Economy”. It would be a lie to say that it is available in all good bookshops. It would be more accurate to say that it might now be found in one or two second-hand book shops – though I do not know where they are1. That book had one line in it that I still rather like. It happens to be the first line of the book and one of the shorter sentences in it. And – unlike most of the rest of the book – it does not have equations or mathematical symbols. It is: “Few people are nomads by choice” The rest of the book could not keep up that degree of succinctness. The short, opening sentence expresses something important about our preferences: most people put great value on having a home that they can reliably call home for many years. This is one reason why the majority of people want to own their home.

  • Philippians IX. Faith, Hope, and Love Philippians 3:12-16
    July 18, 2021 A Letter from Paul – Philippians IX. Faith, Hope, and Love Philippians 3:12-16 Dr. William P. Seel Easley Presbyterian Church Easley, South Carolina Our passage can be seen as a summary of sorts regarding pretty much everything Paul has said in his letter thus far. “Not that I have already obtained this,” he begins – the “this” referring not only what he said last week about gaining Christ and being found in Him1, but also to what he said in chapter two about how we are to have the same mind that was in Christ Jesus, who took the form of a servant and so forth2. “Not that I have already obtained this . but I press on to make it my own” he writes – the “pressing on” referring back to what he told the Philippians in chapter one about their manner of life becoming worthy of the gospel of Christ3, and also back to what he said in chapter two about the necessity of working out our salvation “with fear and trembling”4. “Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own.” But as much summary as Paul is packing into that introductory sentence, it’s what Paul says next which is the meat of this passage for us this morning. Paul explains what he means by “pressing on to make it my own” – or, more specifically, describes what this looks like and how it is accomplished in the life of a disciple of Jesus. And it’s all there in verses 13-14: “Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own.

  • Juba Good Vicki Delany
    READING GUIDE JUBA GOOD VICKI DELANY Reading level: 3.0 Interest level: Adult Themes: crime, mystery, Africa, murder, serial killer, RCMP, United Nations, foreign aid 978-1-4598-0490-6 pb Summary RCMP officer Ray Robertson is nearing the end of his year-long term in South Sudan, where he has been working with the UN to train and advise the new country’s police force. He is looking forward to finishing his term and connecting back up with his wife, Jenny, to enjoy a vacation together in Kenya before heading back to his home in Vancouver. Two weeks before his departure, Robertson stumbles into a string of murders that he ultimately insists on solving before he leaves the country. The victims are all female prostitutes, strangled to death with the killer’s trademark white ribbon and dumped on a residential street. As the book gets underway, Robertson is investigating the fourth such murder, accompanied by his trusted partner, John Deng, a native of the Dinka tribe in Africa. Deng is tight-lipped about his own family; Robertson assumes they were killed during Sudan’s long civil war. Deng and Robertson set out to get to the bottom of the murders in a place where the citizens have seen so much darkness and hatred that it’s difficult to establish a trusting relationship—especially with the police. A moral man by nature, Robertson nevertheless has to bend rules to get his questions answered. He encounters a number of dead ends along the way, but his determination to see at least a little bit of justice done before he leaves for Canada fuels his refusal to give up.

  • What Lies Ahead (1-3-16)
    “A Preview of Coming Attractions”! Mark 13:1-4! I find it hard to believe that we are beginning another year. If you are like me, then you will agree that 2015 seemed to go by in a flash. I know that time doesn't speed up or slow down, but it sure feels like it goes by faster the longer that you live. Couple this with the technology and smart devices that we are constantly using, and time gets away from you before you know it. For many of us, a new year brings excitement and challenge. It is an opportunity to start over, to get around to doing some things that you've been putting off. When January rolls around, none of us know what the year will hold for us by the time that December gets here once again. There is an element of uncertainty about the future, for none of us truly knows what lies ahead.! In general, Americans are very interested when it comes to knowing the future. I read where Americans spend nearly a billion dollars annually on consulting psychics, horoscopes, and palm readers. Man has always thought he can predict the future, and has tried his best. In 1870, there was a bishop who came to an Indiana college campus for a denominational conference. During his visit, the bishop heard the president of the college say something that shocked him. “We live in an age of wonders,” said the head of the college. “I believe the day is not far off when men will fly in the skies like birds.” The bishop said, “Sir, you are speaking blasphemy! The Bible tells us that the gift of flight is reserved strictly for the angels.” The bishop’s name was Milton Wright who just so happened to have two sons by the name of Orville and Wilbur.

  • What Lies Ahead for Israelis and Palestinians?
    What lies ahead for Israelis and Palestinians? Reflections on the Camp David 2000 Summit and the 2020 ‘Deal of the Century.’ By Gilead Sher and Ze'ev Portner/ July 9, 2020 In January 2001, just three days before he was about to leave office, former president Bill Clinton received a farewell phone call from the then chairman of the PLO, Yasser Arafat. Arafat flattered “you are a great man.” Clinton did not mince his words, “The hell I am. I am a colossal failure, and you made me one.” Clinton was referring to the Camp David peace talks of July 2000 held under his administration’s auspices, and the subsequent Clinton Parameters in which he expended so much effort, energy, and time. King Abdullah II of Jordan has written that “Prime Minister Ehud Barak showed great courage” at Camp David in terms of the steps he was prepared to take to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and put a finality to the respective claims. The problem was that this was never reciprocated on the Palestinian side; the only person who could take things forward, Arafat, failed to cross the Rubicon from leading a national movement to statesmanship. Arafat undermined his own negotiators’ positions at Camp David, with his consistent no to any of the American proposals put to him – not even willing to discuss them as a basis for negotiations. As Clinton told him at the time, Arafat was making an error on the scale of 1947 when the Palestinians had rejected the partition plan and the creation of an Arab state next to a Jewish one.

Members of the community honor their loves ones through traditional (and some not-so- traditional) assemblies of offerings, symbols, photographs, and mementos. These are deeply moving memorials that celebrate the lives of dearly departed and seem to have particular relevancy in our current times. We will also be featuring the work of acclaimed artist Tony Ortega—painter, printmaker, designer, illustrator, muralist, and professor. The gallery will feature a comprehensive body of work, including illustrations from book collaborations with George Rivera. Additionally, Art in Public Places has generously commissioned Tony to create a downtown mural as an enduring tribute to this auspicious year.

  • A Vision of Maturity Pastor Marcus Meier Philippians L 3:8-15 ESV 8 Indeed, I Count Everything As Loss Because of the Surpassing Worth of Knowing Christ Jesus My Lord
    A Vision of Maturity Pastor Marcus Meier Philippians l 3:8-15 ESV 8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. Developing a Vision for Spiritual Maturity ✓ Some people would say, “Going deep in God”, Others would say “running hard after God”. ✓ We want are lives to be marked by a whole hearted, radical pursuit of Jesus. Becoming more like him everyday, until the day that we meet him when we die.
