During these summer weeks of worship, we have looked at and listened to many parables in The Gospel According to Matthew. Parables can be both intriguing and bewildering. We may find ourselves asking with Jesus disciples, Why do you speak to them (the crowds of people) in parables? Jesus answers his disciples by saying: The reason I speak to them in parables is that seeing they do not perceive and, hearing they do not listen nor do they understand For this people s heart has grown dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and they have shut their eyes But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears for they hear. Truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it. To be perfectly honest, Jesus answer can be as baffling as the parables which original provoked the disciples question! Is this all just a bunch of intentional double talk? At this point I find Eugene Peterson, author of The Message very helpful. He says: The parable is a tool for deciding, not discussing. For those who want to have conversations about God, the parable is opaque. For those who will look and listen and pray, the parable becomes a means for participation in the life of faith. Thank you, Lord God, for sharing the secrets of your kingdom with us, for speaking in love and listening in kindness. Our lives are filled with the sights and sounds of the good news! How privileged we are. How blessed! Grant that our participation in a life of faith may be a blessing for others. Amen. I look forward to seeing you at St. Luke this Sunday when we gather at the Lord s table for holy communion and consider the Blessing and Breaking through which God s kingdom is shared.

We are asked to spread the Good News of Your love to every part of our world, but we find the mission too difficult. We do not love You with our whole heart, or our neighbors as ourselves. We come today looking for Good News. Forgive our sins. The Prayer of Great Thanksgiving...(Pages 15-16; hymnal) Sacrament of Holy Communion *Hymn...
