   Ephatha: Be Opened

   In the Gospel of Mark, we find Jesus using a small but deeply significant word as he brings healing. A word which has been said to sum up the whole of Christ’s message and all his work. The word is recorded in the Aramaic language Jesus spoke to draw our attention to it. The word is “Ephphatha,” which means “Be opened.” Like all healings in the Gospels, the physical cure of the deaf and mute man is real, but also has a deeper spiritual significance. God designed human beings not only with the physical senses but also with marvelous spiritual capacities to see, hear, and relate to him. To perform this healing, the gospel says, “He took him away from the crowds.” Into the quiet, into the silence. Jesus took the man off by himself away from the crowd. In this quieter place Jesus touches the man’s ears and tongue, looks up to heaven, and with a deep sigh says: “Ephphatha!” (“Be opened!”). And immediately the man began to hear and to speak plainly. May we respond to the Ephphatha Invitation of Jesus. In the quiet place, in the silence of prayer, may we hear the Voice Of Love who says: “Be Opened.” With you on The Journey and The Way, Rob+ Thank you for subscribing.

   The Care And Compassion Of God: Sheep Without A Shepherd

   There are some things that are absolutely essential for our flourishing as human beings, for our livelihood, and for our well-being. There are things which are essential, and when they are missing, we do not thrive. The fact of the matter is that human beings are filled with needs. And we live in a culture and a society and a world that is filled with many needs that are dire indeed. What is the most essential, the deepest need, that you are facing in your life at this stage of your journey? I raise this question because I believe that the lectionary readings we are given today ultimately point us to the fact that there is indeed one ultimate essential need that we experience as human beings, and that is the care of a loving compassionate God. As Jesus sees us he names this need and our reality. Overcome with compassion he reveals: “They are like sheep without a Shepherd.” We need the care of God to flourish and to be fully alive. It is essential to our thriving as created beings in his image. The care of God. That’s the heart of my reflection in this sermon: The Care and Compassion of God.

   The Way Of Love - Not The Way Of Violence

   What can we learn as we try to make sense of these days we are living in? THE STAKES ARE VERY HIGH. We each arrive in this world “fearfully and wonderfully made,” with our unique strands of DNA woven into our being by God himself—the divine fingerprints imprinted into our very soul. What makes one soul grow into a John the Baptist, a Nelson Mandela, or Mother Teresa of Calcutta — or, for that matter, a Fr. Nelson Pinder—while others are deformed beyond human recognition into a force of evil and violence? Human beings are capable of both staggering heights and breathtaking depravity. We’re all becoming “immortal horrors” or “everlasting splendours,” as C. S. Lewis once said. This is the question of spiritual formation. Everyone gets one. Here is a vital truth: What you get out of your life, and what God gets from your life, is the person you become, the person you are becoming intentionally. Terrorists as well as saints are the outcome of spiritual formation. Their spirits or hearts have been formed. Period. Indeed, the only hope of humanity lies in the fact that, as our spiritual dimension has been formed, by the circumstances of the human condition, so it also can be transformed by practicing the way of Jesus, seeking to become like him. The revolution of Jesus is in the first place and continuously a revolution of the human heart or spirit. It did not and does not proceed by means of the formation of social institutions and laws, the outer forms of our existence, intending that these would then impose a good order of life upon people who come under their power. Rather, his is a revolution of character, which proceeds by changing people from the inside through ongoing personal relationship to God in Christ and to one another. - Dallas Willard May we give ourselves to the adventure of the way of suffering love, and not violence. Jesus offers us the renovation of the heart, a revolution of character. He invites us to follow him and become more fully alive, fully human, and deeply Christlike.
