Rector's Reflections
|
Sharing in Your Glory: Success or Service?
"Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory." Like James and John, we too are quick to assume that following Christ leads to success, power, and glory. Like James and John we ask for what we know and think we want-and we know that this world rewards success, power, and glory with even more of the same, and we want it! Yet Jesus turns our lust for success, power, and glory on its head: "Whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all."
Servant leadership that finds power in self-giving is to be a hallmark of Christian community. For this servant-leadership is both modeled on and empowered by the living Jesus himself. His greatness is exactly in his humility, his strength is in his weakness, and his whole life is given a ransom for our sake. Those who end up sitting at his right and left hand in his glory will not be the privileged and powerful, or even the disciples, who shrink back from sharing in his cup of suffering. Those at his right and left hand will be condemned criminals, crucified alongside him as he offers himself as a ransom for many. [Sundays and Seasons, 2018]
We too are called to be great and grateful servants. We give thanks and are empowered and sustained to serve others. This comes through receiving Christ's strength through Word and Sacrament which forgives, heals and strengths us when we are weak. This comes through giving ourselves fully as we follow Jesus, working through failure, weakness, and shame which gives God glory as we serve others.
Our sequence hymn this week is Will You Let Me Be Your Servant, often called the servant song. Written by Richard Gillard in 1977 it has a simple step-wise melody and is very hymn like and prayerful. I invite you to listen to it
HERE:
and use it as part of your personal devotions this week.
Following and Serving Together,
Bill+

All Saints' Day will be observed on Sunday, November 4th. In worship we will give thanks for all the saints who have died in the past year.

Please share the names of those who would like to be included in our

"Capturing the Depth of the Psalms"

Thursdays at 3:00 pm in the Beck Memorial Library
Live under the protection of God Most High and stay in the shadow of God All-Powerful. Then you will say to the
Lord, "You are my fortress, my place of safety; you are my God, and I trust you." The Lord will keep you safe from secret traps and deadly diseases. He will spread his wings over you and keep you secure. His faithfulness is like a shield or a city wall. Psalm 91
