Fit for the Kingdom of God

Lord of the Harvest

God forgives, and His forgiveness propels His forgiven people also to forgive.  Both our forgiveness and our forgiveness of others is offered to God in one, seamless, unbroken petition, prayed in a single breath:  Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.

Forgive Us Our Trespasses 3-21-18

Luther wasn’t opposed to using a good metaphor when it helped to teach the truth about God’s good gifts.  And to help express the blessings and benefits of the Lord’s Supper, Luther used the metaphor of medicine.  He wrote: We must never regard the sacrament as a harmful thing from which we should flee, but as a pure, wholesome, soothing medicine which aids and quickens us in both soul and body.

Pure, Wholesome, Soothing Medicine (Lk.22:7-20) 4-18-19

We exist for the blessing and benefit of the world.  The point of this sermon is not that we become fearful about the welfare of our congregation—that we become preoccupied with our own self-preservation—that we have an “us vs. them” mentality—drawing lines and building walls to keep ourselves “safe.”  No, Jesus calls us the light of the world—the salt of the earth.  And our goal is always simply to be faithful to our Savior—to hear the Word of God and keep it.  The results are out of our control.

As Jesus surveyed the landscape into which He was sending the seventy-two, He saw what we can’t always see—what a lot of farmers in Kansas are seeing right now:  a plentiful harvest, but a scarcity of workers.
