Walk in the Light
Monday Apr 08, 2024
Monday Apr 08, 2024
1 John 1:1-2:2 The excitement around the eclipse happening tomorrow shows how fascinated we are with heavenly lights. We know our world is fragile and temporary and no where does this become clear than when traveling as an astronaut and looking back at the earth. The effect one gets from this vantage is called "The Overview Effect" as termed by Frank White. This signals a cognitive shift in due to a new and different vantage point. In 1 John, he talks about the impact of seeing the light. It is mind blowing to recognize the life and ultimate return of Jesus, who walked among us and died for our sins. If you walk in the light, you can enjoy fellowship with one another. One body, one mind. Be aware of where the light falls and that we are a forgiven people.

Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29. In today's world we are frequently faced with a "crisis of decision", where there is a perceived threat, there is uncertainty in the outcome and no time to waste. In Jesus' triumphant entry he confronts with their own crisis of decision; his followers must make a decision; the powers of this world (Rome) or the kingdom of God?

Jeremiah 31: 31-34 We all like new things - studies have shown that our brains react to "newness" with pleasure, even though we often fear the unknown. God is calling you to a deeper understanding of your faith through a new and improved covenant with us.

Look and Live

Numbers 21: 4-9 As the snake was raised by Moses in the OT to save people, so must we lift our Savior, repent of our sins and welcome him into our hearts (John 3: 14-15). The more that we are unable to look at the snake (our sin) the more the ugliness increases. During Lent, we are encouraged to look to Christ our Savior and repent of our sins.

Jesus and the Temple

John 2: 13-22 The cleansing of the temple from the money changers is not really about riding the temple of merchants as it is about "us" as the temple of the Holy Spirit. Lent is a time to repent of your sin and we need to know that God hates our sin because it can cause us pain and suffering - so use Lent as a time to repent of your sin. In the temple, the moneychangers were blocking God's love. Who and what are the moneychangers in our lives?

Mark 8: 31-38 What is my attitude when I enter the doors to worship? Am I suspicious and checking to see if everything passes the sniff test or do I trust we will have a wonderful worship service together? What cross are you bearing?

Mark 1: 9-15 For 400-500 years, the voice of the Lord had not been heard. The Roman empire had swallowed up the Jews. But a new day was coming. The baptism of Jesus signified a new beginning, a turning to Christ. Through repentence, God gives us a new way of living, to turn away from the ways of the world. We can't sit passively back waiting for something to happen, procrastination and continuing down the path of old behaviors doesn't work. In Lent we are called to not procrastinate but to step out and take action. God has given us everything we need.

Transfiguration

Mark 9: 2-9 In today's world we see businesses and churches who cannot embrace change become irrelevant. Even people can get "stuck".
In Christ's transfiguration, the disciples do not know what to do and are unable to embrace the change Jesus wants them to see. Instead, they fall back on what they know - to build a monument in memoriam, however, Jesus says, "I do not want a stone monument, instead remember this in your heart."
