Route 42

In our sinful world, it’s mostly people who win elections or have a lot of money that seem to have all the power. However, in our sinful world it is the Son of God who left His throne in heaven, became a human being, suffered every indignity that we can imagine - even the horrible, shameful death of cruicifixion - who truly has all the power in the world, and He uses that power to promise to each one who believes in Him “Truly I say to you, you will be with me in Paradise.”

As Jesus and His disciples were touring Jerusalem during Holy Week, their focus was on what the people who built the holy city had accomplished. Jesus’ focus was on what He would accomplish - His death on the cross, His resurrection from the dead, and His coming again in glory.

November 1 is the day of All Saints in the church year. This year, on the following Sunday (Novembere 6) we remember believers in Jesus who have gone to be with Him in heaven since just before the pandemic began. We’ll also think about what it means to say “I believe in the resurrection.”

In the calendar of the Jewish year, September 25 this year is Rosh Hashanah, the so-called “Jewish New Year.” It is the beginning of a ten-day period of reflection leading to repentance and culminating in the Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur. Christians don’t observe these Jewish holidays, but we do have some important things to learn from them - that’s our focus this morning.

As we wrap up our exploration of some of the parables of Jesus recorded in Luke's Gospel, we come to a parable that He told in several versions in three of the Gospels as He asks us to imagine, or remember, the last time you went to a wedding reception.

Today we'll hear a classic account of prayer from the Old Testament, and two parables Jesus told about prayer, as we think about "Three Ways to Pray Well - and One Big No-No!"

"Downsizing" seems to be an "in thing" these days.  From garage sales to Marie Kondo, getting rid of things you don't want or need anymore seems to be all the rage.  But did you know that Marie Kondo says that her method is partly inspired by the Shinto religion, where cleaning and organizing things properly can be a spiritual practice?  To hear Jesus teach in today's Gospel, "downsizing" might be a spiritual practice for Christians, too, although for completely different reasons than Marie Kondo's.

Last week's sermon gave a picture of the world as a battlefield between God and Satan; in this week's sermon we'll hear a picture that's a little different, but says some important things about how God carries on the battle for us.

In last week's Gospel lesson, we heard how Jesus brought peace to a man who had been wrestling with his demons for a long time.  In today's Gospel lesson we'll hear how Jesus brought peace to a woman who had a chronic illness, and to a grieving father whose beloved daughter died unexpectedly - and we'll think about the peace He can bring to us when we're in similar situations.
