St James Lutheran Church: Sermons and Worship

Passover precedes commandment. God first delivers his people Israel out of

slavery in Egypt and only then does he tell them how he wants them to live in the

Ten Commandments. In other words, our relationship with God is based upon his action

to rescue us from sin and make us his people, not upon our ability to keep his

commands. The Ten Commandments are thus "house rules", ways God wants his people to

live once they become his people, not ways to get into his family.

The gap between how great God is and his desire that we take great delight

in him and his work is met by the eternal promise he makes with his servant Abraham.

This covenant commits God to us in such a way that, while we're called to serve him

in fear and joy, he himself takes all the risk and even the punishment of breaking

the covenant. He proves this by becoming human and dying on a cross to pay the

covenant's violation for us.

The gospel is not a philosophical concept but a new reality created by the

death and resurrection of Jesus and lived-in presence and power of the Holy Spirit.

This reality comes to full expression in Christian community - where forgiveness,

truth-telling, humility, and patience become the new creation way of life.

In this epistle reading, Paul reminds the Romans that God specifically

chose them before the world. And those he chose he also justified and glorified.

Paul then explains the implications of this message, it means that nothing can

separate them from the love of God. Nothing that they face in this world can remove

the fact that God sent His only Son to die on the cross to justify them before God.

Paul explains the true comfort that God has given to them through the love in His

son Jesus Christ.

Okay, ‘who has the final word’ in your family? The parable of the Weeds in

Matthew 13 isn’t about your family or my family, it is about the reign of God in

this broken topsy turvy world wherein the devil continues to plant his evil

temptations around us to the point that we don’t even know who is a boy and who is a

girl, or for that matter, will AI redefine ‘what it means to be a human being in

Christ’?

In the first part of the Parable of the Weeds Jesus tells a following crowd this

analogy of a master who plants good seed in his field, and while he was sleeping

along came his enemy and planted weeds amongst the good seed. But don’t worry the

master will have the final word. Jesus now turns to His disciples to explain the

Parable of the Weeds so that they can be assured that the reign of God is ongoing,

unchanging and that in the end, those pesky weeds sown by the sons of the evil one,

the Devil, which live amongst us tempting us in every way in order to separate us

from worship and witnessing the love of God in Christ Jesus, will meet their Maker.

For the reign of God is real and now, and He will have the final word: the evil,

devilish ‘weeds’ will be bundled up and cast into hellish fire, while the wheat, the

righteous ones in Christ will shine forth like the sun in the reign of their Father

in heaven.

Human history is headed toward a magnificent goal, the return of Jesus and

the renewal of all creation. On the road to that goal Jesus calls his people to

participate with him in this restorative mission, which is to do in Jesus' name and

by his power the ministries he began before his ascension and continues to do now

through his Holy Spirit.

Deep down, humans long for justice — for all wrongs to be made right. Psalm

72 expresses this deep longing and presents the administration of justice,

particularly on behalf of the poor and needy, as one of the key missions for the

kings of Israel. However, this psalm goes further and points forward to a King who

delivers perfect justice and righteousness, but in the most surprising way.

God calls Abraham out of a life of idolatry in Mesopotamia in order to make

him his agent to bring about renewal and healing in his fallen and suffering world.

He does this by unilaterally promising Abraham blessing, land, and an offspring that

will one day rule the whole world in righteousness forever.

The life of King David provides a vivid picture of the combined beauty of

God's world with the brokenness of our fallen world. In his powerful Psalm 51, David

laments his sins of adultery and murder, and in doing so outlines for us the causes

of the fall, the extent of the fall, the results of the fall, and the Jesus-centered

solution to the fall.
