What Is It? September 21, 2014

Welcome Guests If you are a first-time guest, please complete a guest card from a pew pocket or Friendship Register and drop it in the offering plate so that we may acknowledge your visit and get acquainted with you. We are glad you have joined us for worship today. ________________________ Meditation The life of Jesus, if it is meaningful to us, is meant to reveal the nature of God. Jesus’ life is like a lens or an icon through which we might glimpse the truth about God’s nature, and the nature of the world. After the resurrection, Jesus the Resurrected One, now the Christ, is everywhere.

Luther put it beautifully in one of his Table Talks. He tells the story of how his wife, Katie, complained that he was always talking about Christ’s presence as being something in the here and now, but she could not see him. “Where is this Lord Christ of whom you constantly speak?” she asked. Luther responded that Christ is everywhere, “in the beans in your bean garden, Katie; in the rocks out there, and even in the rope around some poor hopeless man’s neck.”

Christ is everywhere. No hell is powerful enough to keep out the resurrection life. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. Christ is everywhere, his life not parceled out in scarcity, only there on a throne in heaven or only here among the good churchgoing people, but abundantly present everywhere, freely given, everywhere things long to be whole and loving and struggle to be free.

Christ is everywhere, especially in the bread and wine, where, as Luther says, he binds himself and us to each other.

The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever.

Amen.
