30. August 2020

1. O Faithful God, You hear our supplications and know our afflictions; abide with us and do not for sake us, so that we are upheld by Your righteous hand. Amen. (Starck 226 ¶ 1)

2. »For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building. According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw – each one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, then he will receive a reward. If anyone’s work is burned up, then he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.«

3. Last week we heard Jesus proclaim that those who are humbled shall be exalted. Today we hear how Jesus opens the ears of those who are physically or spiritually deaf.

4. The Apostle Paul tells us that our faith is built upon the foundation of Jesus Christ, which is Christ crucified, buried and raised on the 3. day (1. Corinthians 15,3-4). This risen Jesus appeared to Cephas, the Twelve, 500 disciples, James and finally Paul. The apostle uses the image of temple. In the old testament, the temple was the location where the atoning sacrifices occurred and where the Spirit of God visibly dwelt. This temple was holy. Likewise the Church and every Christian is a temple that is holy. The Holy Spirit dwells in us. Because of Christ and the indwelling Spirit, we are precious Divine sanctuaries (Lockwood 121).

5. Like the old testament temple, the new testament temples do not always act as spiritual people (Lockwood 121). Some promote on unChristian doctrine, false teaching or outright idolatry. Yahweh always send prophets to call the people to repentance throughout the Old Testament. When such repentance was lacking, then Yahweh did punish their idolatry. He still chastises unrepentant Christians and churches when they remain adamant in their sin. In Paul’s day, at Corinth, jealousy and strife manifested itself in immaturity and worldliness (Lockwood 121). In our culture, some churches and Christians seek the solve the problems of the world solely with worldly means and omit any Christian approach or even Christ Himself at the center of how they approach social issues. Though we possess God’s Spirit, we don’t always act as spiritual people (Lockwood 121).

6. Our Gospel Lection tells us the account of Jesus healing a man born deaf and mute. We see in this miracle that „What God says, God does. The reverse is also true. What God does, God says; His doing is not ambiguous. God’s work is God’s speech. God’s speech is no fleeting breath. It is a most effective breath that creates life, that summons into life“ (Bayer 43). St. Mark the Evangelist reported the response of the crowd: »He has done all things well« (Mark 7,37). Since Jesus has done all things well, then He has also spoken all things well.

7. Saint Paul teaches that there is only one foundation which survives the test of judgment, and that is the foundation which is Jesus Christ who has done all things well. Paul says that the apostles proclaim Christ Jesus for He is the most solid foundation. In any building project you have to get the foundation right. If you build a solid foundation, then you will withstand the forces of nature and time. Consider the pyramids in Egypt: they have stood for thousands of years because their foundation is rock solid. A weak foundation, however, will soon succumb to the tempests of nature. Thus Paul says the only trustworthy foundation that brings the certainty of salvation is the one that is built upon the preaching of the apostles that is centered upon Christ crucified for sinners. This foundation of redemption is secured by Christ who has redeemed us from sin, death and hades. No force can shake this foundation, not even the forces of Hades (Matthew 16,18). Salvation and justification are only through Jesus, who said: »I am the Door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture« (John 10,9); »I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades« (Revelation 1,18). Likewise, only Jesus could heal the deaf man in today’s Gospel lection; and only Jesus can open ears that are spiritually deaf so that they hear the gospel and believe.

8. „in our modern age, influenced by Pietism and the Enlightenment, our thinking is shaped by what is subjective, by the life of faith, by our inner disposition and motivation, by our inward impulses and the way they are shaped.“ (Bayer 58). Christ always comes first; He is our foundation; upon this foundation follows the Word of God, faith, love and every good work that flows from love (Bayer 58).

9. „We do not merit the reign of God by working for it. It has long since been prepared.“ Jesus said: »Inherit the reign prepared for you from the foundation of the world« (Matthew 25,34). „The concept of progress is no longer a salvation concept“ (Bayer 66). We live in a fallen, corrupt and cursed world, but we do not flee from this present world with the dream of hoping for better times in this world’s history (Bayer 67). Rather, we look to the promise of God in Christ Jesus. He lived in this world among us and He overcame the fruit of this fallen, corrupt and cursed world. He saw a deaf man, and He made him healthy and whole. He saw dead Lazarus, and He raised him up to new life. He Himself died, was buried in the grave and descended into Hades, but on the third day Jesus rose from the dead, walked out from His grave and had unlocked the very gates of Hades. Jesus gives us this foundational victory in our Baptism. We believe His words, take comfort in His promise and faith yields the good works built upon the foundation of Jesus for the benefit of our neighbors. God alone is righteous, and He has given us His very righteousness through His Son Jesus Christ. This is our hope and our faith for it rests upon Christ and His gospel promise to us. Truly, Jesus has done all things well. Amen.

11. Let us pray. O Lord Jesus Christ, You alone are worthy to be blessed and praised at all times, strengthen our faith in You so that we rely upon You alone for salvation and hope in the new creation to arrive at Your second advent. Amen.

To God alone be the Glory

1. O Merciful Lord, who desires to forgive; You have given us the seal and assurance of the gracious forgiveness of sins through Your Son Jesus Christ, so that we can fearlessly approach You and be assured of the comfort of Jesus’ resurrection. Amen. (Starck 88 ¶ 1)

2. »Jesus also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: „Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayedthus: ‘O God, I thank You that I am not like other men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying: ‘O God, be propitiated toward me, the sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.“«

3. Last week we heard Jesus exhort us to know the things that make for peace. Today we hear Him comfort us with the promise that those who are humble shall be exalted.

4. Jesus told this parable to the Pharisees who trusted in meriting their righteousness and treated others with contempt. This was an ongoing confrontation between Jesus and the Pharisees. The universal pharisaic teaching was: a person is declared by God to be righteous based on his obedience to the Commandments, and they didn’t believe they were sinners in need of repentance because of their often sincere zeal in obeying those Commandments. During the centuries after the return from the Babylonian Captivity God’s prophetic voice was silent. Much study was spent on the Torah and its interpretation in light of the prophets and oral tradition. Building on such leaders as Ezra and Nehemiah, the order of the Pharisees sprang up, added its regulations to those of the Torah, and developed a system of obedience to the letter of the Law. Their goal was a strict observance of the Law so God wouldn’t punish them with another captivity. In the parable, when the Pharisee uttered he was not an extortioner, unrighteous and an adulterer, he was honestly stating that he sincerely believe this about himself. In the Scriptures, adultery is often used as a metaphor for a idolatry, and the Pharisees were zealous for worshiping only Yahweh. This helps explain why many Pharisees took such an adversarial stance against Jesus, because they sincerely believe that to confess Jesus as the Messiah was idolatry, particularly because Jesus taught that it was unnecessary for the Jews to follow the traditions of the elders that the Pharisees so highly regarded.

5. The pharisaic nature resides in each of us. Our fallen sinful nature is quick to establish ways to merit righteousness before God. Adam’s first sin was to disobey God’s one command; his second sin was justify himself before God. Adam is the first Pharisee. The original sin we have inherited from Adam is by nature the attempt at self righteousness. How can I appease God’s anger with my good deeds? How can I deflect God’s wrath by pointing out someone else’s sin that led to my sin. And when we have convinced ourselves that we are meriting our righteousness before God, then we can justify criticizing others we deem worse sinners than we are.

6. The Pharisee believes in his self righteousness and boasts of it in the temple courtyard at public prayer. He presume to return home righteous. The tax collector, one of the most vile sinners according to the Pharisees, confesses his sinfulness and seeks Yahweh’s propitiation in the temple courtyard at public prayer.

7. Jesus uses the verb ιλασθητι: be propitiated. God is the subject, and the tax collector wants His forgiveness. He is at the temple praying as the day’s atoning sacrifice is being offered up. He yearns for the Messiah to come to His temple to make the final atoning sacrifice for the people’s sins (Just 684). He confesses that he is the sinner and the guilty one (Just 684). He is the chief of sinners. Only God can forgive him.

8. The sacrifice (atonement) is the basis for the declaration of the status of righteousness before God (justification) (Just 684). Justification must have Bobby standing before God, for eight is instantaneous; it involves forgiveness, but it also bestows a standing – declared righteousness (Just 684; Stein 451). The Apostle Paul speaks of it this way: »Just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works: Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.« [Psalm 32,1-2] (Romans 4,6-8). And also: »For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written: Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, and do them [Deuteronomy 27,26]. Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for the righteous shall live by faith [Habakkuk 2,4]. But the law is not of faith, rather the one who does them shall live by them [Leviticus 18,5]. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written: Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree [Deuteronomy 27,26], so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.« (Galatians 3,10-14). The atoning sacrifice is Christ.

9. The tax collector returned home justified because he had faith in God’s sacrifice, but the Pharisees returned home unrighteous because he rejected God’s sacrifice and instead trusted in his own it’s self-righteousness. Jesus is the atoning sacrifice that merits forgiveness. Jesus is the Righteous One who became the unrighteous one, the sinner, the guilty one and the one crucified by God. This is the atonement of the cross. Christ bears our sin and gives us His sanctification. Jesus humbled Himself so as to exalt us (Luke 14,11). Every time a sinner confesses their sin and seeks God’s propitiation, Jesus lifts them up and declares: you are forgiven; you are righteous; you are My brother and sister. As Jesus exalted the tax collector and cleared him righteous, so He exalts us and declares us righteous. Next week we will hear that Jesus opens the ears of those who are physically death and spiritually death. Amen.

10. Let us pray. O Christ Jesus, whose deeds are proclaimed among the peoples; pour out on us the Holy Spirit, so that we call upon Your Name and give thanks for the righteousness You have given us. Amen.

To God alone be the Glory

1. O Gracious God, who has shown great mercy to us; help us to place all our hope and confidence in Your Word and Sacraments, so that our faith and trust in Christ is strengthened. Amen. (Starck 138 ¶ 2)

2. »Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed. You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols, however you were led. Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says „Jesus is accursed!“ and no one can say „Jesus is Lord“ except in the Holy Spirit. Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as He wills.«

3. Last week we heard that Jesus has canceled the debt we owe to our Heavenly Father. Today we hear Jesus exhorting us to know the things that make for peace.

4. In today’s Gospel lection, Jesus tells us why Jerusalem will be destroyed. Jerusalem was destroyed because of Jews did not know the time of their visitation (Luke 19,44). In Holy Scripture, when the Lord visits His people it is a gospel event for the faithful but a law event for the apostate (Just 741). Jesus speaks this lament over Jerusalem as He is riding up on the donkey on Palm Sunday in ad 30/33; the Romans destroy Jerusalem 40 years later in ad 70. As Jesus entered Jerusalem, some received Him as the Messiah but others reject Him. Jesus’ disciples and the crowd receive Him, but the Pharisees and chief priests reject Him; in rejecting Jesus they reject the fulfillment of Y gracious visitation set forth in the Messianic promises of their scriptures (Just 748). The things that have to do with peace are completely tied to God’s visitation in His Son (Just 750).

5. We find this peace in the destruction of Yahweh's temple. Jesus had said: »I will destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up« (John 2,19). Jesus was speaking about Himself: He would give up His spirit, die upon the cross and 3 days later He would rise from the dead. The peace Jesus brrings is reconciliation to God the Father, the forgiveness of sins and eternal salvation. He fulfilled what the temple building in Jerusalem had done.

6. With redemption secured, Jesus then sent the Holy Spirit to pour out upon us the gift of peace. The first gift is the gift of faith. The Apostle Paul tells us that no one can believe in Jesus, and say Jesus is Lord, except in/through the Holy Spirit. Why did most of the Jewish crowds believe in Jesus but most of the Pharisees and priests reject Him? A: by the working of the Holy Spirit. Those who receive Jesus as the Messiah did so because the Holy Spirit worked within their heart. Those who cursed Jesus did so because they fought against the working of the Holy Spirit within them. Luther succinctly described it this way in his Small Catechism: „I believe that I cannot by my own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ, my Lord, or come to Him, but the Holy Spirit has called me by the gospel, enlightened me with His gifts, sanctified and kept me in the true faith“ (Small Catechism).

7. Paul tells us that to each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are given to the Church according to the need at a given time and place. We thus us the gifts and talents the Spirit has given us to glorify Jesus and to benefit others in the Church. Next week we will hear Jesus teach us that those who are humbled shall be exalted. Amen.

8. Let us pray. O Lord Jesus Christ, God of our salvation; watch over us and protect us, both physically and spiritually, so that we remain safe and secure as the people of Your pasture and the sheep of Your hand. Amen.

1. O Blessed Lord, shows us Your marvelous love and kindness; deliver us from death, so that we may approach You in the light of the living. Amen. (Starck 277 ¶ 1)

2. »now the Word of Yahweh came to me, saying: „Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.“ Then I said: „Ah, Lord Yahweh! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.“ But Yahweh said to me: „Do not say: ‘I am only a youth’; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, declares Yahweh.“ Then Yahweh put out His hand and touched my mouth. And Yahweh said to me: „Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. Behold, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.“«

3. Last week we heard Jesus teach that those who believe in Jesus do the will of His Father and will enter the reign of heaven. Today we hear that Jesus cancels our debt we owe to our Heavenly Father.

4. When Yahweh called Jeremiah to speak for Him He told him: you are appointed as a prophet to the nations to break down and build. Yahweh’s word to the nations of Jeremiah’s time were words of judgment. Their debt to Yahweh was due and was time to settle the accounts. Their debt was no different than that of the nations today: their idolatry and injustice to the neighbor were an offense to Yahweh. Martin Luther notes the following in his preface to the book of Jeremiah: „We learn from Jeremiah among others that, as usual, the nearer the punishment, the worse the people become; and that the more one preaches to them, the more they despise his preaching. Thus we understand that when it is God’s will to inflict punishment, He makes the people to become hardened so they may be destroyed without any mercy and not appease God’s wrath with any repentance. So the men of Sodom long ago had to not only despised the righteous Lot, but even afflict him because he taught them – even though their own affliction was at the door [Genesis 19,1-13]. Likewise Pharaoh, when about to be drowned in the Red Sea, had to oppress the children of Israel twice as much as before [Exodus 5,6-21]. And Jerusalem had to crucify God’s Son when its own final destruction was on the way“ (Luther 281,1).

5. The nations of Jeremiah’s day did not fare well under Yahweh‘s judgment; neither did Judah, but they had the promise of the faithful remnant and the return from Babylonian exile (Jeremiah 31). But the nations will benefit from this redeemed Judah, and the new covenant will cover them as well. Yahweh would make Judah as a light for the nations, so that His salvation may reach to the end of the earth (Isaiah 49,6).

6. Jeremiah’s call to repent and return to Yahweh is still the call that sounds forth from the Church today. We should fear, love and trust in God above all things. To do otherwise is idolatry, and it can manifest itself in many ways. Thus the constant exhortation to look to Yahweh alone. The Church continually examines herself and goes before Yahweh with repentance. The Church then exhorts the nations to repent of their idolatry and look to Yahweh alone. Jesus conducted His ministry similarly. He went to the lost sheep of Israel and brought them back to His Father’s fold. He searched for the poor and downtrodden and gave them hope. He exhorted the well-off and the religious leaders to trust in Yahweh alone. He ministered to the Gentiles and the nations calling upon them to repent of their idolatry and trust in Yahweh. Jesus is for all people, ministers to all and redeems all, for there is neither Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female; for y’all are one in Christ Jesus. If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to the promise. (Galatians 3,28-29).

7. Jesus has paid in full the debt of both the Jews and the nations. All sin has been covered; every one has been redeemed and none have been neglected. This gospel proclaims all have been delivered by Christ. From that promise the Holy Spirit creates the fruit of faith: we learn to fear, love and trust in God. We learn to love our neighbor as God loves them. We seek justice for our neighbor, are charitable to them, respect them and treat them with dignity as one created in God’s Image and Likeness, as as one redeemed by Jesus just as we are. This is the gospel our neighbors and the nations need to hear and see. May the Holy Spirit use us as beacons of Christ’s light, for next week we will hear Jesus exhort us to know the things that make for peace. Amen.

8. Let us pray. O Jesus, who is rightly and greatly praised as Yahweh; help us to live each day as those who love Your salvation, so that we may live in gladness. Amen.

1. O God, our Loving Father; let Your goodness continue to be over us, so that we daily live in the comfort of Your mercy and grace. Amen. (Starck 147 ¶ 2)

2. »As He passed by, He saw a man blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him: „Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, so that he was born blind?“ Jesus answered: „It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him. We must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; night is approaching, when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.“ Having said these things, He spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then He anointed the man’s eyes with the mud and said to him: „Go, wash in the pool of Siloam“ (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing.«

3. Last week we heard how Jesus exemplified righteousness by miraculously feeding 4000 Gentiles. Today we hear Jesus proclaim those who do the will of his father will enter the reign of heaven.

4. John 9 Jesus declares: »It is necessary that we work the works of the one having sent me while it is day; light is approaching when no one can work.« Here Jesus has met at the temple a Jewish man blind from birth. The conventional pious wisdom of Jesus’ day held that this man is blind as God’s punishment on sin: either one of his parents had committed a heinous sin, or the man himself had done so while a baby in his mother’s womb. The blind man is subjected to begging from the charity of others at the temple just to survive.

5. Jesus does the will of His Father. He does not toss a few coins to the man so he can buy bread and eat that day, but rather Jesus removes the man’s blindness. Jesus heals the man, restores his dignity and shows him through these actions that God the Father loves him. Jesus has been merciful and extends mercy to the blind man.

6. But Jesus has done even more for him. At the end of Jesus’ dialogue with the formerly blind man, Jesus tells him that he is the Son of Man; the man then believes in Him and worships Jesus. The Jews must now decide if Jesus is a true prophet of God or a false prophet. Jesus says you recognize a prophet by his fruit: good prophets bear good fruit and false prophets bear bad fruit (Matthew 7,15). The man in John 9 has seen, yes experienced, the good fruit of Jesus who had healed his blindness. One of Jesus’ early sermons was at His synagogue in Nazareth; He preached from the Prophet Isaiah: »The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s grace. And He began to say to them: „Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.“« (Luke 4,18-19.21). Isaiah later proclaims: »Behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth: „Say to the daughter of Zion: Behold, your salvation arrives; behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.“« (Isaiah 62,11). This salvation culminates with Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection and is for both Jews and all the nations. Jesus entered this world so that those who do not see may see (John 9,39). Here He is speaking about spiritual blindness; Jesus has arrived to create faith in Him as the Son of Man, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world (John 1,29).

7. Jesus tells us that the will of His Father is that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in Him should have eternal life (John 6,40). To enter the reign of heaven one needs to believe in Jesus. The goal of the Father’s will is to raise us up on the last day and create a new heaven and earth. The will of the Father is to remove sin and the curse of sin which He has done in Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection. Jesus is the first fruits of this and He will bring it to completion, and a full harvest, when He returns. This is the will of His Father. Next week we will hear Jesus tell us He cancels our debt or to our Heavenly Father. Amen.

8. Let us pray. O Lord, whose Name is glorious; pour out upon us Your loving kindness and faithfulness, so that we rest assured in Your Son Jesus Christ who is the fulfillment of Your will. Amen.
