Dear Friends,
In our Gospel for this coming Sunday we meet Nicodemus, who seeks to know Jesus, but is unable to wrap his head around the idea of a second birth in the Spirit. It is from this story that we receive the great evangelistic verse, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish by may have eternal life." Christians the world over have used this verse for centuries to persuade those who do not follow Jesus to do so. This verse has become the hammer of evangelism, and its corollary has led to many condemnations against those who do not follow Jesus. But we have too often forgotten the verse that follows, "Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him."
We are living in an age and culture where we (i.e. society) too often condemn those who do not follow Jesus the way that we do, who believe differently than we do, who look and act differently than we do. Often these condemnations are masked in religious language and protection of our Christian values is the purported end. But let us not forget the following verse, "God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world." The radical teaching of Jesus calls us to love God, and to love our neighbors as our selves. If we condemn our neighbor, how will he or she ever hear about the love of Christ? Once we condemn, we have lost our witness and our neighbor's ability to see Jesus through us has been destroyed. Let us love each other. Let our love shine as the love of Christ. I close with one of my favorite blessings:
Life is short, and we do not have much time to gladden the hearts of those who make this journey with us. So, be swift to love, and make haste to be kind. And the blessing of God, who made us, who loves us, and who travels with us be with you now and forever.
Blessing during this Holy Lent,
Fr. Jeremy+
