Then God Spoke

Meditations for Seeking the Life in Christ

The Gospel of John

August 30, 2024

Then God Spoke

“Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say—‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour. Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”

John 12: 27-28

At the end of John 11 (August 26), I asked you to pause and try and put yourself in Jesus’ sandals. What was he thinking and what emotions was he feeling as he contemplated a final visit to Jerusalem. Our passage for today tells us that Jesus’ soul was deeply troubled. The other Gospels wait until Jesus is in the Garden of Gethsemane to tell us that Jesus was deeply troubled. Jesus, the Word made flesh, the one who turned water into wine, who healed the royal official's son and the paralytic, who fed the five thousand and walked on water, who healed the man born blind and raised Lazarus from the dead, was deeply troubled in his soul. Jesus’ reference to being lifted up is not the stuff of a simple praise chorus like “Lord, I lift your name on high”; Jesus was nailed to the cross and then lifted high. Yet only one thing was on Jesus’ heart, “Father, bring glory to your name” (John 12:28a). Then God spoke: “I have already brought glory to my name, and I will do so again” (John 12:28b).

Jesus’ prayer is not for the faint of heart, and most of the people present with him didn’t understand what was happening. Even so, Jesus invited them to follow him on his final steps to his cross. Today, those who come seeking the Kingdom of God will find that Jesus is still lighting the way for his disciples.

My Takeaway: Cheryl and I incorporate Jesus’ prayer into our lives each morning when we pray, “Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy Name.”

Time For Commitment

Meditations for Seeking the Life in Christ

The Gospel of John

August 29, 2024

Time For Commitment

Those who love their life in this world will lose it.

Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity.

John 12: 25

When the Apostle Paul visited Athens, he found statues for dozens of gods. He even found one dedicated to the unknown god. The Greeks were known for their desire of knowledge and their love of debate. The Athens philosophy club welcomed Paul to tell them about his god and Paul gladly proclaimed the Good News of the Gospel. The club members found it to be a nice story, and invited Paul to visit with them again if he was in Athens. These people liked all manner of ideas and were partial to none. (Acts 17)

The Greeks, in Jerusalem for the Passover, were also curious onlookers. (John 12:20-28) They had heard about the wondrous deeds of Jesus and wanted to meet him in person. Perhaps if they had come at another time, Jesus may have taken the time to chat with them. However, for several chapters, John has been noting that Jesus’ time had not yet come. Then his time came. The festival of Passover was Jesus’ time. Jesus was fully focused on fulfilling the final steps in his Messianic mission. He had no time for casual debates on the philosophies of the day. It was the time for commitment.

A kernel of wheat was a nice metaphor, but his disciples did not fully appreciate the truth that it would be Jesus’ body going in the ground. Neither was it easy for them to hear, “Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity” (John 12:25).

Disciples of Jesus follow Jesus, and following Jesus means giving up control of our lives to Jesus. These words of Jesus prompted G. K. Chesterton to note, "The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried." If Jesus’ words cause you to tremble a bit, reach back and remember his promise in Chapter 10: 28-30; Jesus’ followers can rest in the absolute assurance that they are safe and secure in the grasp of Jesus.

My Takeaway: It is also good to remember the promise in Matthew’s Gospel as well, “He will not crush the weakest reed or put out a flickering candle” (Matthew 12:20).

Hail to the King of Israel!

Meditations for Seeking the Life in Christ

The Gospel of John

August 28, 2024

Hail to the King of Israel!

“Don’t be afraid, people of Jerusalem.

Look, your King is coming,

riding on a donkey’s colt.

John 12: 15

John masterfully mixes the symbolism of two separate Jewish festivals to mark Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem. The waving palm branches and references to Israel’s King in John 12:13 & 15 invoke memories of Hanukkah and Judas Maccabaeus becoming king. The large crowds were present because it was time for the Passover celebration in remembrance of God freeing Israel from slavery in Egypt. Thus, John is portraying Jesus as the Messiah King of Israel who sets people free from slavery to sin.

Even if those in the crowds did not fully appreciate the moment, the Pharisees did understand the claim Jesus was making. Their anger burned deep, so deep that they began to plot to kill Lazarus in retribution for the people believing in the sign of his miracle resurrection and becoming followers of Jesus.

I recall serving on a mission team several years ago. I was walking through a neighborhood, going door to door and giving away small potted plants, and taking prayer requests from the residents. Most were quite receptive and appreciative of our coming to their door. Most, but not all. I remember one man became very angry. He started yelling that no one was going to take him away from his church. I half expected him to throw the plant at me as he slammed the door. Two doors down, we were greeted with, “I was hoping you would come to my house. Please come in and pray with us.”

My Takeaway: It is good to be passionate and personally invested in your beliefs. It is not so good if those beliefs bind you so that you are void of common courtesy, or worse, as was the case with the Pharisees.

Lord, I Give You My Heart

Meditations for Seeking the Life in Christ

The Gospel of John

August 27, 2024

Lord, I Give You My Heart

Then Mary took a twelve-ounce jar of expensive perfume made from essence of nard, and she anointed Jesus’ feet with it, wiping his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance.

John 12:3

The tension in Jerusalem at the high council was also felt in the community of Bethany, where Jesus gathered with his friends and disciples. There is an interesting parallel between this gathering and an occasion when Jesus was in Lazarus’ home, as recorded in Luke’s Gospel. In Luke, Mary sits at Jesus’ feet listening to him teach, and her sister Martha objects because she thinks Mary should be helping her prepare to serve a meal for Jesus. In John, Mary is again at Jesus’ feet, this time serving him as she anoints him for burial. I suspect the house was filled not only with the scent of perfume, but also with tension as the others witnessed Mary’s shameless, extravagant adoration and worship of Jesus. Judas is the one who breaks the silence with the practical observation that the perfume was needlessly being wasted.

There was quite a divergent gathering that day in Bethany. Lazarus, the man Jesus brought from death to life was there. Martha was there, working, striving, and doing what needed to be done. Judas, the pragmatic one, who knew the cost of everything, was there. The other disciples were there, in silence. Mary was there, oblivious of everyone else, giving her heart to Jesus.

My Takeaway: If you were there, where would you be standing? I like to think I was singing with Mary.

This is my desire, to honor You

Lord with all my heart I worship You

all I have within me

I give You praise

all that I adore is in You

Lord I give You my heart

I give You my soul

I live for You alone

Every breath that I take

Every moment I'm awake

Lord have Your way in me

Lord, I Give You My Heart

They Kept Looking for Jesus

Meditations for Seeking the Life in Christ

The Gospel of John

August 26, 2024

They Kept Looking for Jesus

So from that time on, the Jewish leaders began to plot Jesus’ death.

John 11:53

Jesus had previously expressed concern that the growing tension between Israel and the Roman oppressors would lead to a violent outcome. He called the people to the ways of peace instead of insurrection. The religious leaders were also quite concerned about the political situation. They feared that through his miracles, Jesus was raising up a multitude to follow him, and that the Romans would see this as a threat and respond with great force. John interprets the High Priest’s political statement with a theological insight that affirmed Jesus’ death would be the means to unite the children of God in all nations.

It was now the time of Passover, and as the pilgrims began to gather in Jerusalem, there was much speculation about whether Jesus would be there. Back in Chapter 7, Jesus demurred about going to Jerusalem for the Festival of Shelters, then changed his mind and briefly visited Jerusalem. As we conclude the first half of the Gospel of John, it will be good to pause and try and put yourself in Jesus’ sandals. What was he thinking and what emotions was he feeling as he contemplated a final visit to Jerusalem, this time truly as “The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29)? At least one person grasped what awaited Jesus in Jerusalem, and we will meet her tomorrow.

My Takeaway: As I try to imagine what Jesus was “feeling”, my thoughts immediately go to the Garden of Gethsemane. I am thinking about how he felt – he is fully human as well as fully divine. He knew the Lamb of God would be slain as he entered Jerusalem for the Passover. Does this mean God may not relieve my pain? Maybe so, but tomorrow Mary will help me keep everything in a Godly perspective.

Grieve As People With Hope

Meditations for Seeking the Life in Christ

The Gospel of John

August 23, 2024

Grieve As People With Hope

Jesus was still angry as he arrived at the tomb, a cave with a stone rolled across its entrance.

John 11: 38

Why was Jesus angry? In the previous passage John said, when Jesus saw Mary “weeping and saw the other people wailing with her, a deep anger welled up within him, and he was deeply troubled” (John 11:33). In today’s passage, “Jesus was still angry as he arrived at the tomb” (John 11:38). Why? Weren’t Mary and her friends responding appropriately to their circumstances? Yes, their response was well within the cultural norms of their times. I believe Jesus was angry that the people were still clinging to their cultural norms and not embracing the Kingdom of God he was laboring to establish.

What were Mary and her friends missing? Here is how the Apostle Paul answered that question: “And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died” (1 Thessalonians 4:13-14).

Yes, I know Jesus had not died and risen to new life when Lazarus died. Mary and her friends did not have the resurrection of Jesus to help them grasp what Jesus was teaching them about eternal life. Even so, I believe Jesus was troubled that his people still grieved like people who have no hope.

My Takeaway: Jesus longs for us to grieve as people with hope.

Then Jesus Wept

Meditations for Seeking the Life in Christ

The Gospel of John

August 22, 2024

Then Jesus Wept

“Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down”

Isaiah 53:4

Martha’s sister, Mary, also had her “Lord, if only you had been here” statement (John 11:32). However, she was not alone: “But some said, “This man healed a blind man. Couldn’t he have kept Lazarus from dying?” (John 11:37). It is important as we consider the sixth sign in John’s Gospel, to remember what John said is the purpose of these signs: “But these are written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in him you will have life by the power of his name” (John 20:31) Martha, Mary, and many of their friends were still at the place where they believed the purpose of the Messiah was to change the adverse circumstances of their personal lives. They did not yet understand that the Messiah comes to give us right standing with God for all eternity.

As we hear Mary express her grief to Jesus, his response to Martha is also still ringing in our ears, “I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25a). In the midst of this hugely difficult theological and doctrinal point to grasp, Jesus reveals the very heart of God. “Then Jesus wept” (John 11:35). Jesus fulfilled the words of the prophet Isaiah, “Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down” (Isaiah 53:4).

The Palmist tells us that God cares deeply for us: “You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book” (Psalm 56:8).

My Takeaway: God keeps our tears in a bottle and Jesus weeps with us.

What wondrous love is this,

O my soul, O my soul,

what wondrous love is this,

O my soul!

What Wondrous Love Is This?

The Resurrection is a Person

Meditations for Seeking the Life in Christ

The Gospel of John

August 21, 2024

The Resurrection is a Person

Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?”

John 11:25-26

We can know about someone, or we can know of them. We can also know them; know them personally. Professor Thomas Long came to our church a few years ago to lead a Spiritual Formation Weekend. Previously, I had heard Dr. Long preach in conference settings and I had read several of his books. For the year before his visit, I corresponded with him. When he arrived, I had the opportunity to engage him one on one; I got to know him!

Martha had been in various settings with Jesus on numerous occasions, and she had come to have great respect and appreciation for his ministry. She affirmed her faith in the final judgment of God and in Jesus, “I have always believed you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who has come into the world from God” (John 11:27). Yet, she still did not know him. Martha’s ‘if only’ statement to Jesus reveals an underlying trust in his supernatural powers, but does not reveal an intimate knowledge of the person of Jesus. In his conversation with Martha, Jesus was able to help her understand that the resurrection was not some future event that will happen some day; the resurrection is a person. Jesus, as God’s Messiah, has enabled the future hope of God’s restored Kingdom to become a present reality.

My Takeaway: If we are not very careful, Sola gratia, by grace alone, can become just another doctrinal statement. Seeking the life in Christ is first, last, and always all about the person of Jesus and our anthem is:

This is the air I breathe
This is the air I breathe
Your holy presence living in me

This is my daily bread
This is my daily bread
Your very word spoken to me

And I I'm desperate for you
And I I'm lost without you

Breathe

Now You Will Really Believe

Meditations for Seeking the Life in Christ

The Gospel of John

August 20, 2024

Now You Will Really Believe

So he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead. And for your sakes, I’m glad I wasn’t there, for now you will really believe. Come, let’s go see him.”

John 11: 14-15

God’s ways often conflict with our ways; God’s timing often conflicts with our timing. These are two of the most difficult aspects of the Christian life to reconcile. While we may not be so crass to say it out loud, too often our internal thoughts reveal our frustration because God does not do what we want done, when we want it done. I dare say that at least 90% of the frustration with our prayer life revolves around our efforts to get God to do what we want, when we want it. As John sets the stage for the greatest miracle of Jesus, the raising of Lazarus from the dead, Jesus is modeling for us how we can respond in faith to the uncertainties and demands of life.

The request for Jesus to go to Bethany created a conflict for Jesus. Bethany is near the Mount of Olives, just a few miles from Jerusalem. When Jesus left Jerusalem, the religious leaders were seeking to arrest him, and to stone him to death. For Jesus to return to the area of Jerusalem would have put him in harm’s way. While Jesus’ disciples feared for his safety, Jesus was calculating the time. Was it God’s time for him to return? Jesus resolved the conflict through prayer.

Jesus knew that no matter what happened to Lazarus, God would be glorified. Therefore, he did not let the circumstance determine his response. Jesus waited until the Spirit prompted him to return to Bethany.

Jesus did not react; he responded. That is what God wants us to do. God wants us to first think, then pray, and then obey the leading of the Spirit.

My Takeaway: Jesus responded to every circumstance in his life out of his understanding of God’s will for his life. This is a good time for me to reflect on my life and to consider how often I react to people and happenings, instead of responding out of God’s will for me.

The Father is in Me, and I Am in the Father

Meditations for Seeking the Life in Christ

The Gospel of John

August 19, 2024

The Father is in Me, and I Am in the Father

They replied, “We’re stoning you not for any good work, but for blasphemy! You, a mere man, claim to be God.”

John 10: 33

Jesus continued to confront the people with the truth that he and the Father are one and that he has been sent by the Father to be the true Messiah King of Israel. Jesus tells the people if they will not believe him because of his teachings, then believe because of the miraculous signs of his authority.

Even in the face of the miraculous signs at the hand of Jesus and the authority by which he taught, many of the religious leaders refused to believe. Once again, they tried to arrest Jesus. As the followers of Jesus, we may at first be incredulous at the thought of the people refusing to embrace Jesus. On closer reflection, perhaps we may recognize how easy it is for us to take comfort in our external circumstances, such as belonging to the ‘right’ church, or in doing the ‘right’ religious activities. The rejection of Jesus in Jerusalem at the time of Hanukkah is our invitation to rededicate ourselves to Sola gratia, by grace alone. It is only by the grace of our Lord Jesus that we have right standing with God the Father.

My Takeaway: It is first, last, and always all about Jesus, not our church membership, not our good deeds, not our theology, not our doctrines. It is by grace alone that we have new life in Christ.

Safe and Secure from All Alarms

Meditations for Seeking the Life in Christ

The Gospel of John

August 16, 2024

Safe and Secure from All Alarms

I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me, for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else. No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand. The Father and I are one.”

John 10:28-30

In Jerusalem for Hanukkah, Jesus’ words reach new heights of controversy. Approximately 200 years before Jesus’ ministry, Israel had been overrun by an invading army. The army occupied Israel, desecrated the Temple, and put the people under oppression. A man named Judas Maccabaeus led a revolt against the foreign army and defeated them. The people made Maccabaeus their king, and his family ruled Israel until the Roman invasion 100 years later. (Last month, when Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Congress, he referred to the Israeli Defense Force as present-day Maccabees.)

Maccabaeus led the people to purify the Temple, and to hold a festival every year to commemorate the rededication of the Temple. This festival, Hanukkah, which means dedication, is held at a time on the Jewish calendar that is close to our December 25^th date. Against this backdrop, where the people are remembering their last true and brave King who fought the invaders, Jesus is claiming to be the Messiah King, but he is not leading a revolt against the Romans. The people don’t want a shepherd; they want someone to fight for them.

Jesus was fighting for them, and us. He was fighting the forces of evil; he was fighting sin and death. When Jesus proclaims he is the Good Shepherd, he gives his followers their greatest assurance. His followers will live eternally with him. His followers can rest in the absolute assurance that they are safe and secure in the grasp of Jesus. Jesus says that when we choose to follow him, the Father gives us to Jesus, and because the Father and Jesus are one, we now find ourselves safely in the Father’s hand.

My Takeaway: I wonder if it was this assurance from Jesus that inspired the Apostle Paul to close the beautiful Chapter 8 of Romans with these words:

“If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? No, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Romans 8:31b, 35a, 37-39

The Beautiful Shepherd

Meditations for Seeking the Life in Christ

The Gospel of John

August 15, 2024

The Beautiful Shepherd

I am the good shepherd.

The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep.

John 10:11

The Prophet Ezekiel looked into Israel’s future and saw God the Messiah as Israel’s Good Shepherd. (Ezekiel 34) In today’s passage, Jesus fulfills that prophesy. Two statements Jesus made stand out to me.

First, Jesus expands Israel’s vision of God’s Kingdom: “I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd” (John 10:16). In Israel’s simplistic view of the world, there were only two kinds of people; Jews and their enemies the Gentiles, who were the rest of the world. Jesus said that God’s view of the world was even simpler. All the people of the world are God’s children. Some of the people were already with God’s sheepfold and all others are welcome; they are invited, and God is standing at the gate waiting patiently for them to come to Him. For the followers of Jesus, the people outside God’s sheepfold are not our enemies; they are not less than we are. They are dear ones for whom Christ has died and whom God is desperately hoping will come home to the Good Shepherd. For the followers of Jesus, for those of us within God’s sheepfold, we are one flock because there is only one Good Shepherd.

Secondly, the word in John’s Gospel translated good can also be translated as beautiful. When applied to Jesus, our Beautiful Shepherd, the word does not describe his appearance; it describes his self-sacrificing act of love that saved us from sin and death. That thought makes me sing,

Beautiful Savior, wonderful Counselor

Clothed in majesty, Lord of history

You're the way, the truth and the life

I will trust in the cross of my Redeemer

I will sing of the Lamb that never fails

Of sins forgiven, of conscience cleared

Of death defeated and life without end

Wonderful Counselor, beautiful risen One

Beautiful, beautiful one

Jesus You are worthy, beautiful, beautiful One

Jesus You're worthy, beautiful, beautiful One

You are worthy, beautiful risen One

(Beautiful Savior by Casting Crowns, written by Stuart Christopher Townend.)

My Takeaway:

Jesus You're worthy, beautiful, beautiful One

You are worthy, beautiful risen One
