Pentecost (68)
  1. The religious leaders thought Jesus was threatening to tear down the Temple. Instead, He was expanding it, so it encompassed and served the world.
  2. The parable, like a cubist painting, is disorienting. And finding a reasonable explanation is not going to make the disorientation go away.
  3. The love of God here is amazing. Jesus warns them of God’s judgment in order that He might save them from sin.
  4. He has not come to be the God who keeps your agendas running, who makes your worldly dreams come true. No, He has come like someone carrying a sword into battle, knowing that He is the only true and lasting life.
  5. In the Kingdom of God, there is a difference between knowing danger and letting it rewrite your heart.
  6. Mission begins with vision, with seeing the world with compassion.
  7. Matthew records his call. God comes into his life uncalled for and does the unimaginable.
  8. On the Last Sunday of the Church Year, the Church remembers her Lord who is risen from the dead but rules from a cross.
  9. The pattern will continue until Christ returns. God tears down in order to plant and bring about new life.
  10. Jesus comes to us from eternity with His Father and He walks among us as one who remembers that home. This life is not the end.
  11. He tries to open their eyes to see that the Sabbath is a time for saving life, not seeking to destroy it, for experiencing the love of God, not for practicing hatred.
  12. He is not a teacher who answers all sorts of speculative questions. He is your Savior, who answers the one question which matters the most for you: “How will you be saved?”
