When we refuse to obey Christ,
When we ignore justice and mercy,
When we break our baptismal vows to love and serve God, to bring our children to church, to place into their hands the Holy Scriptures –

God’s heart breaks.

This period of dispiritedness,
this period of sadness,
this period of grief
is a time we are meant to move through.

Jesus will tell us how to get through that longest night.

In Jesus there is life.
In Jesus there is abundant life.
In Jesus there is eternal life.

Following Jesus is not an insurance policy.
Following Jesus does not insulate us from danger, or suffering, or illness, or even death.
But God is with us in the midst of the suffering.
God is present with us always.

God says, "I will remember their sin no more."

That's pretty good advice for us.

How many of us live our whole lives nursing that grudge, nursing our childhood hurts?

God chooses to offer forgiveness
God chooses to forget.
God chooses reconciliation.

Sometimes I ask the question is God is so righteous and God is so just, how come he's so slow?
But our faithfulness in waiting is because we've read the last chapter. We know that no matter how long the wait, on the last day we have received the sure and certain promise of resurrection to life eternal.

Jesus gives us the promise of eternal life.
But how do we live this life now?
How do we use our riches now?
How do we see those deserving our care now?
How do we give them the attention and fellowship now?
Jesus wants to shape our lives so that we would have a meaningful and joyful life now.

Sometimes we think coming to church is about us.
We want the familiar hymns.
We want to see our family and friends.
We think it's about being comforted.

But Jesus says no.
When you leave this building, you are entering your mission field.

- Pat Nabers

Scripture Readings: Proverbs 25:6-7; Luke 14:1, 7-14
