1 Subscribe Share Past Issues Translate The Weekly Newsletter of Grace Church View this in your browser May 6, 2016 Grace & peace to you, Grace Church! There s this great story in Luke 10 in which Jesus invites a disingenuous inquirer to offer his opinion on what was the central teaching of the Hebrew faith: the Mosaic Law. Listen to this interchange: 25 One day an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus by asking him this question: Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life? 26 Jesus replied, What does the law of Moses say? How do you read it? 27 The man answered, You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind. And, Love your neighbor as yourself. 28 Right! Jesus told him. Do this and you will live! 29 The man wanted to justify his actions, so he asked Jesus, And who is my neighbor? Luke 10v25 29, NIV
2 What does the law of Moses say; how do you read it? It s a pregnant and loaded question; wouldn t you agree? It seems to me that the question Jesus is essentially asking is, How have you understood and appropriated the Law of God given through Moses? Note that the answer that the man gave seems, at least at first blush, to be a good one, perhaps even the right one, but then he pushes it; doesn t he? Just who exactly is my neighbor? We always want to qualify what Jesus means; don t we? When we should have stopped at the right answer, we often attempt to modify it or qualify it. If you aren t familiar with the rest of Luke 10, Jesus goes into a rather long parable explaining just who neighbor is, and, let s just say, it s not exactly the answer that Jesus audience was hoping for. I came across an article this week in the April 27, 2016, issue of The Christian Century. In it, Anthony B. Robinson, writing in his article, What s Your Passion, talks about the ever present longing of the 21 st Century Church to reach the millennial generation: those who are ages It seems to me that the author contends that too often we are enamored with focusing on how we market our churches to particular people groups, instead of, as Robinson puts is, get(ting) a clear idea about what it is [the product] you are trying to sell. In other words: What does the Gospel say? How do you read it? Ok, so yes, I put words in the mouth of Jesus, but I think he would say the same thing to us. Much like the religious institution of Jesus day, the church has spent a great deal of time systematizing the Gospel into bite size chunks of moral behavioral morsels instead of seeing it in the light of the whole. In doing so, I fear that many times we try to make our churches sexier, our worship blingier, because we don t truly understand the nature of the Gospel. What exactly is the product that we are trying to offer? Because here s the thing: I think if we truly understood the nature of the Gospel, we wouldn t have to dress it up with sexy or blingy or attractive worship that is closer to a concert than a worship service. Now, DON T GET ME WRONG. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ENGAGING IN WORSHIP IN
3 SUCH A WAY THAT WORSHIP BECOMES MORE RELEVANT TO CULTURE (sorry, not yelling, simply emphasizing)! The church has done this for centuries. What I am suggesting is that our life together and the expression of our worship should be born out of understanding of the Gospel what it means, what Jesus accomplished for us, and what our response ought to be because of what Jesus accomplished. Our worship should be joyful and free because Jesus has offered us his joy and set us free (John 15v11, John 8v26)! Our churches should be places of mutual forgiveness, reconciliation, and grace, because Jesus has forgiven us and reconciled us to the Father and to one another all in a spirit of grace (Romans 5v10; 2 Corinthians 5v18). Our Christian communities should be known as places of deep and abiding experiential love, because after all, God is love and love is patient, kind, not jealous or boastful or proud or rude, not demanding of its own way, not irritable, it keeps no record of being wronged, it doesn t rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance (1 st John 4; 1 st Corinthians 13). And on and on it goes At the heart of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the formation of a transformed humanity, rooted in Jesus Christ, that lives as a new covenant community of faith, hope, and love which is anchored in grace. So, people of the Grace Church community, I ask you: What does the Gospel say? How do you read it? Feel free to leave me your replies at eric.kieb@baycitygracechurch.org.
