The First Disciples

Advent Meditations

The First Disciples

Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me,

and I will show you how to fish for people!”

Matthew 4:19

Read Matthew 4:18-22

Ten years ago, I had the opportunity to stroll along the water’s edge of the Sea of Galilee. I thought about Peter and Andrew and James and John leaving their nets and boats to follow Jesus. My thoughts then turned to when I heard Jesus call me to follow him. I don’t mean my call to the itinerate ministry. When did I hear Jesus call me to be his follower, his disciple, a Christian? I recalled bits and pieces, starts and stops, youth groups and college classes. I remembered a friend inviting me to church. As I looked back, I was thankful for all of the starts and stops, funerals and weddings. All of the places where I heard bits and pieces about Jesus and the love of God were used by God as His prevenient grace to prepare me for the most important day in my life: the day I heard Jesus call my name.

Two points stand out to me today as I read this passage. First, it is Jesus who does the calling. It wasn’t my idea to become a follower of Jesus – it was his idea, he called me! Secondly, I don’t mold myself into a follower of Jesus. Jesus shows me how to be his follower. (see Philippians 2:13)

My Takeaway: Jesus didn’t wait long to show his disciples how to follow him. Immediately after today’s passage, Jesus delivers his Sermon on the Mount; an intense course in advanced discipleship. (Matthew 5, 6, & 7) Jesus has, and is, giving us everything we need to be his faithful followers.

Jesus Is The Way, The Truth And The Life

Meditations on Seeking the Life in Christ

November 27, 2020

Jesus Is The Way, The Truth And The Life

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.

John 14:6

November 29, 2020 is the First Sunday in Advent. In preparation for this new season in the Christian liturgical year, I want to comment on what I believe is the foundation Jesus laid in his teachings that is sometimes referred to as his Final Discourse. (John 14-17) In Jesus, the Glory of God has been revealed. In Jesus, we see the heart of God the Father. Jesus, as the revealed Glory of God, washed the feet of his disciples, loved his disciples, and was the Passover Lamb who took away the sins of the world. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Jesus shows us the way home to paradise, the way home to God our Father. Jesus and God the Father are one.

Therefore, because of all that Jesus is, he can make the most comforting promise in the Bible:

“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am” (John 14:1-3).

This one promise is the tipping point for my response to all the claims Jesus has made on my life. My fidelity to Jesus’ command to go and make disciples depends on my response to this promise. My willingness to entrust my life to God so that He can use everything in my life for His purpose of transforming me to become like Jesus depends on how deeply Jesus’ promise resonates within my soul.

My Takeaway: The question confronting me is whether Jesus’ promise is sufficient to earn my unconditional, unqualified obedience? If yes, then hallelujah, as I know I’ll rest in his assurance that he will always be with me. If no, then what else must he do to earn my loyalty? Perhaps you will wrestle with this same question. Good, because in the Season of Advent we are looking to the coming again of Jesus. It is good for us to discern our loyalty to the One who is coming in Final Victory.

Happy Thanksgiving

Meditations on Seeking the Life in Christ

Happy Thanksgiving

“Let the redeemed of the LORD say so”

Psalm 107:2

Ten years ago, Cheryl and I spent the week before Thanksgiving in Israel enjoying many of the sites of our Christian heritage. I am very thankful that Cheryl and I had the opportunity to experience the Holy Land. Over and over again, I was impressed that our Christian heritage is paved with the deep personal commitment and sacrifices of that great cloud of witnesses who surround us. (Hebrews 12:1)

This year, as we reflect on the last decade of our lives, our cup overflows with blessings from God. I thank God for bringing both Cheryl and me through our medical issues at the beginning of our retirement and for the many opportunities we have enjoyed traveling and visiting our family in the last eight years. One of our trips took us to Colonial Williamsburg where we enjoyed many of the sites of our heritage as Americans. My response to our trip to Virginia is strikingly similar to my response to our travels in the Holy Land. I was also very impressed that our heritage as Americans is paved with the deep personal commitment and sacrifices of countless men and women who responded to a higher calling in life than simple self-gratification.

As I take the time during this Thanksgiving holiday to ponder our heritage, I recall something I read in 2010 in Israel at Yad Vashem, The Holocaust Museum. Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984), reflecting on the inactivity of German intellectuals following the Nazi rise to power, made this observation:

“In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist; And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist; And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew; And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up.”

God calls his people to speak up, or as the Psalmist put it,

“Let the redeemed of the LORD say so.” (Psalm 107:2)

The Kingdom of God is extended when God’s people speak up. In your gratitude for all that Christ has done for you, I urge you to speak up. Speak up in your homes and churches. Speak up in your places of employment outside of your home and all the many places you enjoy social activities. The mainline media gives people the political and secular interpretation of the issues of our times. Speak up and give those around you an opportunity to understand the events in our culture from the perspective of Jesus who is our way, our truth and our life. (John 14:6)

In gratitude this Thanksgiving, let us resolve not to be silent Christians.

Standing at the Precipice

Meditations on Seeking the Life in Christ

November 25, 2020

Standing at the Precipice

Jonah answered, “I am a Hebrew, and I worship the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the land.”

Jonah 1:8

God called Jonah to go to Nineveh to announce God’s intention of destroying the city because of the great wickedness of the people of Nineveh. But Jonah didn’t go directly to Nineveh.

Jonah was a passenger on a ship sailing toward Spain. His assignment from God was to go to Nineveh, a city in what today is Iraq and located northwest of today’s city of Bagdad. Jonah was going in the opposite direction of Nineveh. The ship encountered a violent storm, and the captain examined all on board to discern whose sin had caused their calamity. Jonah owned his sin.

The Bible tells us very little about Jonah, but we can infer he was a man of great faith and courage for God to call him for such an important assignment. However, Jonah’s choice of words in his self-description reveals he had divided loyalties. Jonah had a deep and abiding faith in the God of Israel. He believed the Jews were unique in the entire world as God had called them to be His people. He was deeply committed to worshipping the God of Israel. He also knew his God was the God of heaven, who made the sea and the land, which means God is the Creator of all that has been created. He told the captain he worshipped this God when actually he was in open rebellion against God’s assignment for him.

In Chapter 4, Jonah reveals his dilemma: “I knew that you are a merciful and compassionate God, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love” (Jonah 4:2). Jonah was all for God destroying Nineveh for their wickedness. He was not at all pleased that his merciful, compassionate God, who is filled with unfailing love, would extend those attributes to Nineveh. Not to Nineveh. Not to those people.

My Takeaway: That we are living in a much-divided country is so true and so often repeated, it has become a cliché. Nevertheless, it is exceedingly true. Within our divided politics and our divided churches, there is a great temptation to not share the merciful, compassionate God, who is filled with unfailing love with those on the other side of the divide. My response to this great divide is answered by a line in my meditation from 1 John 3 (October 27, 2020), “Do we belong to God, or to the world?”

Morning By Morning He Wakens Me

Meditations on Seeking the Life in Christ

November 24, 2020

Morning By Morning He Wakens Me

Morning by morning he wakens me and opens my understanding to his will.

Isaiah 50:4b

“I see very clearly that God shows no favoritism.” So says the Apostle Peter in Acts 10:34 when he arrived to meet Cornelius. This is good news for us because what was true for the Prophet Isaiah can be true for us: “Morning by morning he wakens me and opens my understanding to his will.” How can this be true in our life?

As I read this passage in Isaiah 50, I thought about Jesus’ parable of the sower. (Matthew 13) In this story Jesus told, the farmer is extravagantly generous with his sowing, but three quarters of the scattered seed does not produce fruit. I believe God is extravagantly generous in His desire to awaken me and open my mind to understand his will for me. The Apostle Paul powerfully affirms this truth: “For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him” (Philippians 2:13). However, as God is so generously sowing seeds my way, am I as generous in my listening and willingness to obey? Isaiah models God’s desired attitude within me: “The Sovereign Lord has spoken to me, and I have listened. I have not rebelled or turned away” (Isaiah 50:5).

If I am honest, I will admit I am not always listening, and I do rebel and turn away from God. The hymn writer nails me perfectly:

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it;

Prone to leave the God I love:

Come Thou Fount, Robert Robinson

Why? I recall a true story I heard about the Dean of Chapel in a large university. He was frustrated that attendance at his services was so slight. His friend offered a reason why. “Our students are very smart; smart enough to know if they attend your Chapel service they may have to change the way they are living.” So it is when God awakens His spirit within me. Sometimes I don’t want to listen because I don’t want to change.

My Takeaway: The antidote for my condition is in two parts. First, with a sincere heart, I pray, “Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me.”

Secondly, I submit to Psalm 46:10a, “Be still, and know that I am God!”

I don’t feel as though I am alone in this endeavor.

A Broken and Repentant Heart

Meditations on Seeking the Life in Christ

November 23, 2020

A Broken and Repentant Heart

Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and make me willing to obey you.

Psalm 51:12

Psalm 51 is one of the Seven Penitential Psalms: 6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, and 143. These psalms are appreciated for their honesty and self-reflection. They model authentic prayers that seek God’s mercy, forgiveness and healing. Whatever our struggles, these psalms reveal we can come before God in humility and honesty, and at God’s Throne of Grace, experience God’s love, mercy and forgiveness. It would be good to make a note of these psalms in back of your Bible so you readily locate them.

Psalm 51 is so very poignant because of the depth of David’s sin and the harm he caused through his sin with Bathsheba. (See 2 Samuel 11-12) If God’s mercy and forgiveness are sufficient to cleanse, renew and restore David, can there be anything in my life that is beyond God’s capacity to forgive?

I think David’s prose in Psalm 51 is some of the most beautiful and profound in the entire Bible. Verses such as seven and ten have captivated souls for generations:

“Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean;

wash me, and I will be whiter than snow;

and,

“Create in me a clean heart, O God.

Renew a loyal spirit within me.”

However, as a child of God, I must not just relish in David’s prose; I must make his prose be the cry of my heart. My sins are every bit as repugnant to the holiness of God as were David’s. I stand in need of forgiveness, cleansing, renewal and restoration every bit as much as David.

My Takeaway: “Go and sin no more” Jesus said to the woman caught in adultery (John 8:11). Sadly, although she may have desired Jesus’ words to be her goal, the reality of life is that she did sin again. So did David. So do I. Forgiveness, cleansing, renewal and restoration are not once-and-no-more experiences with God. Forgiveness, cleansing, renewal and restoration are the natural rhythm of life for those seeking the life in Christ as their way of life. Let our daily prayers include: “Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow; and, “Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me.”

Crowned With Glory and Honor

Meditations on Seeking the Life in Christ

November 20,2020

Crowned With Glory and Honor

“. . . what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?

Psalm 8:4

Psalm 8 is a beautiful psalm of praise for God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

Whenever I read the Psalm, I remember a time when I had been visiting churches in Mexico several miles south of Matamoros. It was late on a Sunday evening, and I had just finishing preaching in the last church service for the day. My host took me to the home of one of his parishioners for supper. There was no ambient light, and it was very dark. As I looked up into the night sky, I was overwhelmed with the beauty, the majesty, of countless thousands of stars. My host immediately began quoting Psalm 8:3,

“When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—

the moon and the stars you set in place—“

One of my joys in retirement has been to join the Asheville Astronomy Club which meets on the campus of UNC Ashville. Don’t read too much into that statement. Pointing out the moon is just about the limit of my specific knowledge of the night sky. But I love being exposed to and learning about the beauty and the mystery of the universe. However, of all the mysteries of the natural universe, in the next two verses in Psalm 8, the psalmist points to the greatest mystery of all time:

what are mere mortals that you should think about them,
human beings that you should care for them?
Yet you made them only a little lower than God
and crowned them with glory and honor.

Psalm 8:4-5

In view of the infinite expansiveness of the universe, I find this statement of the psalmist utterly astonishing. The nearest star, other than the sun, to our solar system is 4.2 light years away. Our solar system is 28,000 light years from the center of our Milky Way galaxy, and there are billions of galaxies in the universe. The psalmist says that in the entire universe, God thinks of us, God cares for us and has crowned us with glory and honor.

My Takeaway: The psalmist wasn’t just waxing eloquent as he stared into the night sky. The Apostle Paul affirmed the vision of the psalmist as being fulfilled in the redemptive work of Christ Jesus: “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago” (Ephesians 2:10). My goal is to live each day with the abiding truth that I am God’s masterpiece, and He has crowned me with glory and honor. I invite you to join me in this goal.

The Consequences of Sin

Meditations on Seeking the Life in Christ

November 19, 2020

The Consequences of Sin

“Because you have done this, you and your descendants will suffer from Naaman’s leprosy forever.” When Gehazi left the room, he was covered with leprosy; his skin was white as snow.

2 Kings 5:27

One of my favorite stories in the Bible is the account of Naaman’s healing in 2 Kings 5. Naaman, the mighty general of the king of Aram, suffered with leprosy and was sent to Elisha, the prophet of Israel for healing. Naaman followed Elisha’s instructions to wash seven times in the Jordan River and his “skin became as healthy as the skin of a young child’s, and he was healed!” (2 Kings 5:14) There are many uplifting nuances in this story, but today I am looking at an affirmation that while God is love, God also judges our sin.

When Naaman sought permission from the King of Israel to enter his land the King wasn’t inclined to grant him permission because he doubted his motives. But Elisha intervened and advised the King to send Naaman to him so that Naaman could experience the God of Israel. Later, when Naaman was healed, he offered Elisha very extravagant gifts in appreciation for his healing. Elisha declined the gifts lest he give the impression that God’s goodness could be purchased. End of Act 1 of the story.

Enter Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, and begin Act 2 of the story. For Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, the gifts from Naaman were way too good to pass up. He followed Naaman out of town, approached him and told a lie in Elisha’s name in order to personally receive Naaman’s generous gifts. But Gehazi, was the servant of Elisha, the man of God, and Elisha knew everything of Gahazi’s deceit. Elisha admonished Gahazi for compromising Elisha’s witness for God and then pronounced God’s judgment: “Because you have done this, you and your descendants will suffer from Naaman’s leprosy forever” (2 Kings 5:27a).

My Takeaway: Over and over again, Jesus makes abundantly clear that our decisions have consequences. As fully-devoted followers of Jesus, we know our sins have been washed clean by the blood of Jesus. While those sins don’t alter our eternal destiny, they do have consequences on our life today. “Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant” (Galatians 6:7). Christ the King Sunday will be here in just a few days. If with joy and humility I am going to proclaim Jesus Christ as my King, I think I need to get out Psalm 139:23-24 again. How about you?

The Air He Breathed

Meditations on Seeking the Life in Christ

November 18, 2020

The Air He Breathed

“What’s more, the Lord will hand you and the army of Israel over to the Philistines tomorrow, and you and your sons will be here with me. The Lord will bring down the entire army of Israel in defeat.”

1 Samuel 28:19

King Saul had lost the favor of God. A new King, David, had already been anointed. In the last days of Saul’s reign, the Philistine army had amassed against Israel. Saul, desperate to find favor with God had issued a decree that any worship of idols, or seeking of fortune tellers would be punishable by death. Yet when all his desperate attempts to receive a word from the Lord failed, Saul went to a fortune teller and had her conjure up the spirit of the prophet Samuel who had first anointed Saul as king. Samuel’s message to Saul is devastating: tomorrow you and your sons will be dead like me.

Much has been written about Saul and what he did, or didn’t do, that cost him God’s favor. I think George Eliot, in one of her novels perfectly captured Saul’s nature. In describing a character in one of her novels, she wrote: “The opinion of others formed the very air he breathed.” Saul never satisfied his appetite for approval. Over and over again he deferred to what he thought the people wanted as he sought their love and adoration. Over and over again he chose the applause of the people over his obedience to God’s will.

The Bible tells about another man named Saul, also of the tribe of Benjamin. He too was anointed by God as a chosen vessel to lead God’s people. When this Saul, who is better known as the Apostle Paul, arrived in Corinth he proclaimed, “For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2 NIV). Paul stayed true to his word and never sought the applause of people over the applause of heaven.

My Takeaway: Seeking God’s approval over the approval of people is a core value of the life in Christ. I am helped in this regard as I seek to pattern my life after the essential nature of Paul’s life. When Paul was in Athens he described his life in Christ as, “For in (Christ) we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28 NIV).

Remember

Meditations on Seeking the Life in Christ

November 17, 2020

Remember

“I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt, the place of your slavery.

Exodus 20:2

At the very heart of the Ten Commandments is an invitation for the people of God to remember. God wants us to remember that we were all in a place of slavery – slavery to sin. We were all under the oppressive rule of the one who is committed to our total destruction: “The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy” (John 10:10a). God wants us to remember that on our journey to make the life in Christ our way of life, it is God who leads us, it is God who feeds us, it is God who sustains us, it is God who is the source of our life. Our life does not belong to us. By creation and redemption our life belongs to God.

Remember.

I heard someone observe that one of the greatest contributions of the twentieth century was the development of self-help groups, the apex of which is AA. At the very core of AA is remembrance. At every meeting, every member introduces themselves by remembering: “Hello, I am John, and I am an alcoholic.” By the latter half of the twentieth century, groups formed that believed a person could be cured of alcoholism, and they dropped the remembrance part of their introductions. Those groups never really caught on. Many years ago, a woman was singing pop songs from musicals at a restaurant. In the middle of the concert she sang Psalm 121, “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence comes my help.” That song didn’t seem to fit. Later, when asked about including the song, she said, “If you knew about my life growing up, you would realize it was the most appropriate song I sang.” She was asked, “Wouldn’t it be best just to forget that life?” And she said, “No, no.”

Remember.

My Takeaway: We are still on our journey to Christ the King Sunday, and then the Season of Advent. (Christ the King Sunday – November 22. Advent begins November 29.) I sense a need to pause and remember from whence I have come, and to remember who, and whose, I am today. And to express my love and devotion to the One who has brought me safely thus far and the One who will lead me safely home. Perhaps you too will pause today and remember.

Just in Case

Meditations on Seeking the Life in Christ

November 16, 2020

Just in Case

“. . . Rachel stole her father’s household idols and took them with her.”

Genesis 31:19b

In the Book of Genesis, we learn that Isaac sent his son, Jacob, to Paddan Aram, the homeland of Jacob’s mother Rebecca, to seek a wife. He met and fell in love with Rachel and through the shenanigans of his uncle, Laban, Jacob first married Rachel’s older sister, Leah and seven years later he married Rachel. Several years later, Jacob sensed God saying, “Return to the land of your father and grandfather and to your relatives there, and I will be with you” (Genesis 31:3). When Jacob told Rachel his God was calling him to return to his homeland, she affirmed that his God had blessed them abundantly and that there is no God but Jacob’s God, the God of Israel. But as she packed to leave, Rachel stole her father’s household idols and took them with her. Just in case.

It is not unusual for people coming to the Christian faith from other cultures and religions to bring with them some of their previous cultural and religious customs. The Apostle Paul addressed these concerns in his letters to the Colossians and Corinthians. It is also not unusual for Christian people to adopt and incorporate into their life, customs from their culture that have no relevance to the life in Christ. Sometimes these new add-ons are innocent and harmless; however, sometimes, like Rachel with her purloined idols, we are knowingly hedging our bets.

We never, ever want to lose sight of the truth that God wants the entirety of our lives! To this end, I am reminded of the story of the Old Master and his young disciple. The young disciple was seeking to eliminate anything in his life that might distract him from full and complete devotion to God. Finally, the day came when he stood before the Old Master and lifted up to him his empty hands. The Old Master said to the young disciple, “Give me your empty hands also.”

My Takeaway: Christ the King Sunday, November 22, is just one week away. If I am to proclaim Christ as King over my life, it is appropriate for me to look for any “Just in Case” customs or idols that may be hidden in my life. Perhaps you will join me in praying Psalm 139:23-24,

Search me, O God, and know my heart;

test me and know my anxious thoughts.

Point out anything in me that offends you,

and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
