XIII. The Real Meaning of the Last JudgmentWe have said that whatever you make or create is real in your own eyes, but not necessarily in the sight of God.166 2This basic distinction leads us directly into the real meaning of the Last Judgment.2 The Final Judgment is one of the greatest threat concepts in humanity’s perception. 2This is only because you do not understand it. 3Judgment is not an essential attribute of God. 4You brought judgment into being only because of the separation. 5God Himself is still the God of mercy. 6After the separation, however, there was a place for justice in the schema, because it was one of the many learning devices which had to be built into the overall plan.3 Just as the separation occurred over many millions of years, the Last Judgment will extend over a similarly long period, and perhaps even longer. 2Its length depends, however, on the effectiveness of the present speed-up.167 3We have frequently noted that the miracle is a device for shortening but not abolishing time.168 4If a sufficient number of people become truly miracle-minded quickly, the shortening process can be almost immeasurable. 5But it is essential that these individuals free themselves from fear sooner than would ordinarily be the case, because they must emerge from the basic conflict if they are to bring peace to the minds of others.4 The Last Judgment is generally thought of as a procedure undertaken by God. 2Actually, it will be undertaken solely by the Sonship with my help. 3It is a final healing rather than a meting out of punishment, however much you may think punishment is deserved. 4Punishment as a concept is in total opposition to right-mindedness. 5The aim of the Final Judgment is to restore right-mindedness to you.5 The Final Judgment might be called a process of right evaluation. 2It simply means that finally all minds must come to understand what is worthy and what is not. 3After this, their ability to choose can be reasonably directed. 4Unless this distinction has been made, the vacillations between free and imprisoned will cannot but continue.6 The first step toward freedom, then, must entail a sorting out of the false from the true. 2This is a process of division only in the constructive sense, and reflects the true meaning of the Apocalypse.169 3Everyone will ultimately look upon what he has made and will to preserve only what is good, just as God Himself once looked upon what He had created and knew that it was good.170 4At this point, the mind will begin to look with love on what it has made, because of its great worthiness. 5The mind will inevitably disown its miscreations, and having withdrawn belief from them, they will no longer exist.7 The term “Last Judgment” is frightening, not only because it has been falsely projected onto God, but also because of the association of “Last” with death. 2This is an outstanding example of upside-down perception. 3Actually, if the Last Judgment is examined objectively, it is quite apparent that it is really the doorway to life. 4No one who lives in fear is really alive.8 Your own final judgment cannot be directed toward yourself, because you are not your own creation. 2You can apply it meaningfully and at any time, however, to everything you have ever made, and retain in your real memory only what is good. 3This is what your own right-mindedness cannot but dictate. 4The purpose of time is solely to “give you time” to achieve this judgment. 5It is your own perfect judgment of what you have made. 6When everything that you retain is lovable, there is no reason for any fear to remain in you. 7This is your part in the Atonement.

HCP - 46 - “10 Signs of Being a Narcissistic Pastor”Though it’s easy to point fingers at others, who you may think have this issue, we should probably look in the mirror first. The original sin is PRIDE. It got Lucifer kicked out of Heaven and Adam and Eve removed from Eden. It can also ruin your life and church. Though we all appreciate those moments as leaders in the church where someone says “we don’t know what we’d do without you”, we should be careful to start “believing our own press”. In this podcast Larry and Drew discuss their own struggles with pride and how dangerous the issue of Narcissism can be in the heart of leaders and even effect your church.This conversation is built around the frame work of an article by Charles Stone found on CharlesStone.Com (link below). Stone gives 10 thoughtful considerations of possible signs in leaders who might be Narcissistic. The 10 Signs of Being a Narcissistic Pastor or Leader:Rage if he experiences shame for shame exposes his true self.An inordinate need for praise in order to feel important.The feeling of entitlement to special treatment.The immense need for continual feedback of how important she is.The feeling of superiority and its reinforcement from others.Strong reaction to rejection and disapproval, sometimes with intense rage.The lack of the capacity to mourn, a defense against depression.Calculating and conniving behavior to “maintain” supplies of continuous adulation.An impaired capacity for commitment.No capacity for self-focus or self-examination.“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.”Phil. 2:3This article can be found at:https://charlesstone.com/the-narcissistic-pastor-10-signs-that-you-may-be-one/Other resources:https://unseminary.com/5-signs-youre-following-a-narcissistic-church-leader/https://careynieuwhof.com/episode212/For more information about the Healthy Church Podcast, find us at:http://www.HealthyChurchPodcast.ComOr find us on FaceBook.

XI. The Basic ConflictYou are willing to accept primarily what does not change your mind too much, and leaves you free to leave it quite unguarded most of the time. 2You persist in believing that when you do not consciously watch your mind, it is unmindful. 3It is time to consider the whole world of the unconscious, or unwatched mind. 4This will frighten you because it is the source of fright. 5You may look at it as a new theory of basic conflict if you wish, which will not be entirely an intellectual approach, because I doubt if the truth will escape you entirely.1282 The unwatched mind is responsible for the whole content of the unconscious which lies above the miracle level.129 2All psychoanalytic theorists have made some contribution to the truth in this connection, but none of them has seen it in its true entirety.3 Jung’s best contribution was an awareness of individual versus collective unconscious levels. 2He also recognized the major place of the religious spirit in his schema. 3His archetypes were also meaningful concepts. 4But his major error lay in regarding the deepest level of the unconscious as shared in terms of content.1304 The deepest level of the unconscious is shared as an ability.131 2As miracle-mindedness, the content—or the particular miracles which an individual happens to perform—does not matter at all. 3They will, in fact, be entirely different, since I direct them, because I make a point of avoiding redundancy. 4Unless a miracle actually heals, it is not a miracle at all.132 5The content of the miracle level is not recorded in the individual’s unconscious because if it were, the miracle would not be automatic or involuntary, which we have said repeatedly that it should be.133 6However, the content is a matter for the record, which is not within the individual himself.5 All psychoanalysts made one common error, in that they attempted to uncover unconscious content. 2You cannot understand unconscious activity in these terms, because “content” is applicable only to the more superficial unconscious levels to which the individual himself contributes. 3This is the level at which he can readily introduce fear, and usually does.6 Freud was right in calling this level “preconscious,” and emphasizing that there is a fairly easy interchange between preconscious and conscious material.134 2He was also right in regarding the censor as an agent for the protection of consciousness from fear.135 3His major error lay in his insistence that the preconscious is necessary at all in the psychic structure. 4If the psyche contains fearful levels from which it cannot escape without splitting, its integration is permanently threatened. 5It is essential not to control the fearful but to eliminate it.7 Here, Rank’s concept of the will was particularly good, except that he preferred to ally it only with humanity’s own truly creative ability, but did not extend it to its proper union with God’s.136 2His “birth trauma,” another valid idea, was also too limited, in that it did not refer to the separation, which was really a false idea of birth.137 3Physical birth is not a trauma in itself. 4It can, however, remind the individual of the separation, which was a very real cause of fear.8 The idea of “will therapy” was potentially a very powerful one,138 but Rank did not see its real potential because he himself used his mind partly to create a theory of the mind, but also partly to attack Freud. 2His reactions to Freud stemmed from his own unfortunate acceptance of the deprivation fallacy, which itself arose from the separation. 3This led him to believe that his own mind’s creation could stand only if the creation of another’s fell. 4In consequence, his theory emphasized rather than minimized the two-edged nature of defenses. 5This is an outstanding characteristic of his concepts, because it was outstandingly true of him. 6He also misinterpreted the birth trauma in a way that made it inevitable for him to attempt a therapy whose goal was to abolish fear.139 7This is characteristic of all later theorists, who do not attempt, as Freud did in his own form of therapy, to split off the fear.9 No one as yet has fully recognized either the therapeutic value of fear or the only way in which it can truly be ended. 2When you miscreate, you are in pain. 3The cause and effect principle here is temporarily a real expeditor. 4Actually, Cause is a term properly belonging to God, and Effect, which should also be capitalized, is His Sonship. 5This entails a set of cause and effect relationships which are totally different from those which humanity introduced into the miscreation.10 The fundamental opponents in the real basic conflict are creation and miscreation. 2All fear is implicit in the second, just as all love is inherent in the first. 3Because of this difference, the basic conflict is one between love and fear.11 So much, then, for the true nature of the major opponents in the basic conflict. 2Since all such theories lead to a form of therapy in which redistribution of psychic energy results, it is necessary to consider our concept of psychic energy next.140 3In this respect, Freud was more accurate than his followers, who were essentially more wishful. 4Energy can emanate from both creation and miscreation, and the particular ratio between them which prevails at a given point in time does determine the behavior at that time. 5If miscreation did not engender energy in its own right, it would be unable to produce destructive behavior, which it very patently does.12 Everything that you make has energy because, like the creations of God, it comes from energy and is endowed by its maker with the power to make. 2Miscreation is still a genuine creative act in terms of the underlying impulse, but not in terms of the content of what is made. 3This does not deprive what is made of its own creative power. 4It does, however, guarantee that the power will be misused, or used fearfully.13 To deny this is merely the previously mentioned fallacy of depreciation.141 2Although Freud made a number of fallacies of his own, he did avoid this one in connection with psychic energy. 3The later theorists denied the split-energy concept, not by attempting to heal it, but by reinterpreting it instead of redistributing it.142 4This placed them in the illogical position of assuming that the split which their therapies were intended to heal had not occurred. 5The result of this approach is essentially a form of hypnosis.143 6This is quite different from Freud’s approach, which merely ended in a deadlock.14414 A similar deadlock occurs when both the power of creation and of miscreation coexist. 2This is experienced as conflict only because the individual feels as if both were occurring at the same level. 3He believes in what he has miscreated in his own unconscious, and he naturally believes it is real because he has made it. 4He thus places himself in a position where the fearful becomes real. 5Nothing but level confusion can result as long as this belief is held in any form.15 Inappropriate denial and equally inappropriate identification of the real factors in the basic conflict will not solve the problem itself. 2The conflict cannot disappear until it is fully recognized that miscreation is not real, and therefore there is no conflict. 3This entails a full realization of the basic fact that, although you have miscreated in a very genuine sense, you need neither continue to do so nor to suffer from your past errors in this respect.16 A redistribution of psychic energy, then, is not the solution. 2Both the idea that both kinds must exist and the belief that one kind is amenable for use or misuse are real distortions. 3The only way out is to stop miscreating now, and accept the Atonement for miscreations of the past. 4Only this can reestablish true single-mindedness.14517 The structure of the psyche follows along the lines of the particular libido concept the theorist employs.146 2Freud’s psyche was essentially a good and evil picture, with very heavy weight given to the evil. 3This is because every time I mentioned the Atonement to him, which was quite often, he responded by defending his theory more and more against it. 4This resulted in his increasingly strong attempts to make the illogical sound more and more logical. 5I was very sorry about this, because his was a singularly good mind, and it was a shame to waste it.18 However, the major purpose of his incarnation was not neglected. 2He did succeed in forcing recognition of the unconscious into humanity’s calculations about itself, a step in the right direction which should not be minimized. 3Freud was one of the most religious men I have known recently. 4Unfortunately, he was so afraid of religion that the only way he could deal with it was to regard it (not himself) as sick.147 5This naturally prevented healing.19 Freud’s superego is a particularly interesting example of the real power of miscreation. 2It is noteworthy throughout the whole development of his theories that the superego never allied itself with freedom. 3The most it could do in this direction was to work out a painful truce in which both opponents lost.148 4This perception could not fail to force him to emphasize discontent in his view of civilization.14920 The Freudian id is really only the more superficial level of the unconscious and not the deepest level at all.150 2This, too, was inevitable, because Freud could not divorce miracles from magic. 3It was therefore his constant endeavor (even preoccupation) to keep on thrusting more and more material between consciousness and the real deeper level of the unconscious, so that the latter became increasingly obscured. 4The result was a kind of bedlam, in which there was no order, no control, and no sense. 5This was exactly how he felt about it.

X. The Real Power of the MindEveryone experiences fear, and nobody enjoys it. 2Yet it would take very little right thinking to know why it occurs. 3Very few people appreciate the real power of the mind, and nobody remains fully aware of it all the time. 4This is inevitable in this world, because the human being has many things he must do and cannot engage in constant thought-watching. 5However, if he hopes to spare himself from fear, there are some things he must realize, and realize fully, at least some of the time.2 The mind is a very powerful agent, and it never loses its creative force. 2It never sleeps. 3Every instant it is making or creating, and always as you will. 4Many of your ordinary expressions reflect this. 5For example, when you say, “Don’t give it a thought,” you are implying that if you do not think about something, it will have no effect on you. 6This is true enough.3 On the other hand, many other expressions are clear expressions of the prevailing lack of awareness of thought power. 2For example, you say, “just an idle thought,” and mean that the thought has no effect. 3You also speak of some actions as “thoughtless,” implying that if the person had thought, he would not have behaved as he did. 4You also use phrases like “thought provoking,” which is bland enough, but the term “a provoking thought” means something quite different.4 While expressions like “think big” give some recognition to the power of thought, they still come nowhere near the truth. 2You do not expect to grow when you say it, because you really don’t believe it. 3It is hard to recognize that thought and belief combine into a power surge which can literally move mountains.117 4It appears at first glance that to believe such power about yourself is merely arrogant. 5But that is not the real reason why you don’t believe it. 6People prefer to believe that their thoughts cannot exert real control because they are literally afraid of them.5 Therapists try to help people who are afraid of their own death wishes by depreciating the power of the wish. 2They even attempt to “free” the patient by persuading him that he can think whatever he wants without any real effect at all. 3There is a real dilemma here, which only the truly right-minded can escape. 4Death wishes do not kill in the physical sense, but they do kill spiritually.118 5All destructive thinking is dangerous. 6Given a death wish, a person has no choice except to act upon his thought or behave contrary to it. 7He can thus choose only between homicide and fear (see previous notes on will conflicts).1196 The other possibility is that he depreciates the power of his thought. 2This is the usual psychoanalytic approach.120 3This does allay guilt, but at the cost of rendering thinking impotent. 4If you believe that what you think is ineffectual, you may cease to be overly afraid of it, but you are hardly likely to respect it either. 5The world is full of endless examples of how people have depreciated themselves because they are afraid of their own thoughts. 6In some forms of insanity, thoughts are glorified, but this is only because the underlying depreciation was too effective for tolerance.1217 The truth is that there are no “idle thoughts.” 2All thinking produces form at some level. 3The reason why people are afraid of ESP, and so often react against it, is because they know that thoughts can hurt them. 4Their own thoughts have made them vulnerable.1228 You who complain about fear still persist in producing it most of the time. 2I told you in the last section that you cannot ask me to release you from it, because I know it does not exist.123 3You don’t. 4If I merely intervened between your thoughts and their results, I would be tampering with a basic law of cause and effect, in fact the most fundamental one there is in this world. 5I would hardly help you if I depreciated the power of your own thinking. 6This would be in direct opposition to the purpose of this course.9 It is certainly much more useful for me to remind you that you do not guard your thoughts at all carefully, except for a relatively small part of the day, and somewhat inconsistently even then. 2You may feel at this point that it would take a miracle to enable you to do this, which is perfectly true. 3Human beings are not used to miraculous thinking, but they can be trained to think that way.10 All miracle workers have to be trained that way. 2I have to be able to count on them. 3This means that I cannot allow them to leave their minds unguarded, or they will not be able to help me. 4Miracle working entails a full realization of the power of thought and real avoidance of miscreation. 5Otherwise, the miracle would be necessary merely to set the mind itself straight, a circular process which would hardly foster the time-collapse for which the miracle was intended. 6Nor would it induce the healthy respect which every miracle worker must have for true cause and effect.12411 Miracles cannot free the miracle worker from fear.125 2Both miracles and fear come from his thoughts, and if he were not free to choose one, he would also not be free to choose the other. 3Remember, we said before that when electing one person, you reject another.126 4It is much the same in electing the miracle. 5By so doing, you have rejected fear. 6Fear cannot assail unless it has been elected.12 You have been afraid of God, of me, of yourself, and of practically everyone you know at one time or another. 2This can only be because you have miscreated all of us and believe in what you made. 3You would never have done this, if you had not been afraid of your own thoughts.127 4The vulnerable are essentially miscreators, because they misperceive creation.

VII. The Miracle as the Means of HealingThe new emphasis will now be on healing. 2The miracle is the means, the Atonement the principle, and the healing is the result. 3Those who speak of “the miracle of healing” are combining two orders of reality inappropriately. 4Healing is not a miracle. 5The Atonement, or the final miracle, is purely a means, while any type of healing is a result.2 Atonement is the remedy. 2The degree of error to which it is applied is irrelevant. 3Essentially, all healing is the release from fear. 4But to undertake this you cannot be fearful yourself. 5You do not understand healing because of your own fear. 6I have been hinting throughout that you must heal others.89 7The reason is that their healing merely witnesses to yours.3 A major step in the Atonement plan is to undo error at all levels. 2Illness, which is really “not-right-mindedness,” is the result of level confusion in the sense that it always entails the belief that what is amiss in one level can adversely affect another. 3We have constantly referred to miracles as the means of correcting level confusion.90 4In reality, all mistakes must be corrected at the level at which they occur.4 Only the mind is capable of error. 2The body can act erroneously, but this is only because it has responded to misthought. 3The body cannot create, and to believe that it can, a fundamental error responsible for most of the fallacies already referred to, produces all physical symptoms.5 All physical illness represents a belief in magic. 2The whole distortion which made magic rested on the belief that there is a creative ability in matter, which can control the mind. 3This fallacy can work either way; that is, it can be believed either that the mind can miscreate in the body or that the body can miscreate in the mind. 4If it can be made clear that the mind, which is the only level of causation, cannot generate effects beyond itself, then neither confusion need occur.6 The reason why only the mind can make or create is more obvious than may be immediately apparent. 2Spirit has been created. 3The body is a learning device for the mind. 4Learning devices are not lessons in themselves. 5Their purpose is merely to facilitate the thinking of the learner. 6The most that a faulty use of a learning device can do is to fail to facilitate learning. 7It does not have the power in itself to introduce actual learning errors.91 8The body, if properly understood, shares the invulnerability of the Atonement to two-edged application. 9This is not because the body is a miracle, but because it is not inherently open to misinterpretation.7 The body is merely a fact in this world. 2Its abilities can be, and frequently are, overevaluated. 3However, it is almost impossible to deny its existence in this world. 4Those who do are engaging in a particularly unworthy form of denial. 5The use of the word “unworthy” here implies simply that it is not necessary to protect the mind by denying the unmindful. 6There is little doubt that the mind can miscreate. 7If one denies this unfortunate aspect of its power, one is also denying the power itself.928 All material means which you accept as remedies for bodily ills are simply restatements of magic principles. 2It was the first level of the error to believe that the body created its own illness. 3Thereafter, it is a second misstep to attempt to heal it through noncreative agents. 4It does not follow, however, that the application of these very weak corrective devices is evil. 5Sometimes the illness has sufficiently great a hold over an individual’s mind to render him inaccessible to Atonement. 6In this case, one may be wise to utilize a compromise approach to mind and body, in which something from the outside is temporarily given healing belief.9 This is because the last thing that can help the non-right-minded (or the sick) is an increase in fear. 2They are already in a fear-weakened state. 3If they are inappropriately exposed to a straight and undiluted miracle, they may be precipitated into panic. 4This is particularly likely to occur when upside-down perception has induced the belief that miracles are frightening.10 The value of the Atonement does not lie in the manner in which it is expressed. 2In fact, if it is truly used it will inevitably be expressed in whatever way is most helpful to the receiver, not the giver. 3This means that a miracle, to attain its full efficacy, must be expressed in a language which the recipient can understand without fear. 4It does not follow by any means that this is the highest level of communication of which he is capable. 5But it does mean that it is the highest level of communication of which he is capable now. 6The whole aim of the miracle is to raise the level of communication, not to impose regression (in the improper sense) upon it.11 Before it is safe to let miracle workers loose in this world, it is essential that they understand fully the fear of release. 2Otherwise, they may unwittingly foster the belief that release is imprisonment, which is very prevalent. 3This misperception arose from the attempted protection device (or misused defense) that harm can be limited to the body. 4This was because of the much greater fear (which this one counteracts) that the mind can hurt itself.93 5Neither error is really meaningful, because the miscreations of the mind do not really exist. 6That recognition is a far better protection device than any form of level confusion, because of the advantages of introducing correction at the level of the error.12 It is essential that the remembrance remain with you that only mind can make or create. 2Implicit in this is the corollary that correction belongs at the thought level and not at either level to which correction is inapplicable. 3To repeat an earlier statement, and also to extend it somewhat, spirit is already perfect and therefore does not require correction. 4The body does not really exist, except as a learning device for the mind. 5This learning device is not subject to errors of its own, because it was made but does not make.94 6It should be obvious, then, that correcting the maker (or inducing it to give up miscreation) is the only application of creative power which is inherently meaningful at all.13 We said before that magic is essentially mindless, or the destructive (miscreative) use of mind.95 2Physical medicines are a form of “spells.” 3In one way, they are a more benign form, in that they do not entail the possession fallacy, which does enter when a mind believes that it can possess another. 4Since this is considerably less dangerous, though still incorrect, it has its advantages.96 5It is particularly helpful to the therapist who really wants to heal, but is still fearful himself. 6By using physical means to do so, he is not engaging in any form of enslavement, even though he is not applying the Atonement. 7This means that his mind is dulled by fear, but is not actively engaged in distortion.14 Those who are afraid of using the mind to heal are right in avoiding it, because the very fact that they are afraid has made them vulnerable to miscreation. 2They are therefore likely to misunderstand any healing they might induce and, because egocentricity and fear usually occur together, may be unable to accept the real Source of the healing. 3Under these conditions, it is safer for them to rely temporarily on physical healing devices, because they cannot misperceive them as their own creations. 4As long as their own vulnerability persists, it is essential to preserve them from even attempting miracles.

VI. The Restoration of the AltarAs psychologists know, when defenses are disrupted there is a period of real disorientation, accompanied by fear, guilt, and usually vacillation between anxiety and depression. 2The process discussed here is different only in that defenses are not being disrupted but reinterpreted, even though it may be experienced as the same thing.80 3In the reinterpretation of defenses, they are not disrupted, but their use for attack is lost. 4Since this means that they can be used only one way, they become much stronger and also much more dependable. 5They no longer oppose the Atonement, but greatly facilitate it.2 The Atonement can only be accepted within you. 2You may perceive it largely as external, and this will make your experience of it minimal. 3You can be shown the chalice without accepting it for yourself.81 4This is due to the improper use of the defense of externalization.82 5Do not fail to appreciate, however, how remarkable your progress can be in this respect. 6You may perceive the chalice at first as a vessel of some sort whose purpose is uncertain. 7Even then, however, you can notice that the inside is gold, while the outside, though shiny, is silver. 8This is a recognition of the fact that the inner part is more precious than the outer side, even though both are resplendent.3 The reinterpretation of defenses is essential to break open the inner light. 2Since the separation, defenses have been used almost entirely to defend yourself against the Atonement, and thus maintain your separation. 3You generally see this as a need to protect the body from external intrusion. 4Fantasies about the body arise from the erroneous belief that the body can be used as a means for obtaining Atonement.4 Perceiving the body as the temple is only the first step in correcting this kind of distortion.83 2Seeing the body as a temple alters part of the misperception, but not all of it. 3It does recognize that the concept of Atonement in physical terms is not appropriate. 4But the next step is to realize that a temple is not a building at all. 5Its real holiness lies in the inner altar around which the building is built.5 The inappropriate emphasis which people have put on beautiful church buildings is a sign of their own fear of Atonement, and an unwillingness to reach the altar itself. 2The real beauty of the temple cannot be seen with the physical eye. 3The spiritual eye, on the other hand, cannot see the building at all, but it perceives the altar within with perfect clarity. 4This is because the spiritual eye has perfect vision.6 For perfect effectiveness, the chalice of the Atonement belongs at the center of the inner altar, where it undoes the separation and restores the wholeness of the mind. 2Before the separation, the mind was invulnerable to fear, because fear did not exist. 3Both the separation and the fear were miscreations of the mind, which have to be undone. 4This is what the Bible means by the restoration of the temple.84 5It does not mean the restoration of the building, but it does mean the opening of the altar to receive the Atonement. 6This heals the separation, and places within you the one defense against all errors which can make you perfectly invulnerable.7 The acceptance of the Atonement by everyone is only a matter of time. 2In fact, both time and matter were made for this purpose. 3This appears to contradict free will, because of the inevitability of the decision. 4If you review the idea carefully, however, you will realize that this is not true. 5Everything is limited in some way by the manner of its creation. 6Free will can temporize and is capable of enormous procrastination. 7But it cannot depart entirely from its Creator, Who sets limits on its ability to miscreate by virtue of its own real purpose.8 The misuse of will engenders a situation which, in the extreme, becomes altogether intolerable. 2Pain thresholds can be high, but they are not limitless. 3Eventually, everybody begins to recognize, however dimly, that there must be a better way.85 4As this recognition is more firmly established, it becomes a perceptual turning point. 5This ultimately reawakens the spiritual eye, simultaneously weakening the investment in physical sight. 6The alternating investment in the two types or levels of perception is usually experienced as conflict for a long time, and can become very acute. 7But the outcome is as certain as God.9 The spiritual eye literally cannot see error, and merely looks for Atonement. 2All of the solutions which the physical eyes seek dissolve in its sight. 3The spiritual eye, which looks within, recognizes immediately that the altar has been defiled and needs to be repaired and protected. 4Perfectly aware of the right defense, it passes over all others, looking past error to truth. 5Because of the real strength of its vision, it pulls the will into its own service and forces the mind to concur.10 This reestablishes the true power of the will, and makes it increasingly unable to tolerate delay. 2The mind then realizes, with growing certainty, that delay is only a way of increasing unnecessary pain, which it need not tolerate at all. 3The pain threshold drops accordingly, and the mind becomes increasingly sensitive to what it would once have regarded as very minor intrusions of discomfort.11 The children of God are entitled to perfect comfort, which comes from a sense of perfect trust. 2Until they achieve this, they will waste themselves and their true creative powers on useless attempts to make themselves more comfortable by inappropriate means. 3But the real means is already provided, and does not involve any effort on their part at all. 4Their egocentricity usually misinterprets this as personally insulting, an interpretation which obviously arises from their misperception of themselves. 5Egocentricity and communion cannot coexist. 6Even the terms themselves are contradictory.8612 The Atonement is the only gift which is worthy of being offered to the altar of God. 2This is because of the inestimable value of the altar itself. 3It was created perfect and is entirely worthy of receiving perfection. 4God is lonely without His Sons, and they are lonely without Him. 5Remember the poem which begins:6And God stepped out on space,And he looked around and said,“I’m lonely—I’ll make me a world.”877The world was a way of healing the separation, and the Atonement is the guarantee that the device will ultimately do so.88

V. The Atonement as DefenseThe Atonement is the only defense which cannot be used destructively. 2That is because, while everyone must eventually join it, it was not a device which was generated by humanity. 3The Atonement principle was in effect long before the Atonement itself was begun. 4The principle was love, and the Atonement itself was an act of love.75 5Acts were not necessary before the separation, because the time-space belief did not exist.2 It was only after the separation that the defense of Atonement and the necessary conditions for its fulfillment were planned. 2It became increasingly apparent that all of the defenses which humanity can choose to use constructively or destructively were not enough to save it. 3It was therefore decided that you needed a defense which was so splendid that you could not misuse it, although you could refuse it. 4Your will could not turn it into a weapon of attack, which is the inherent characteristic of all other defenses. 5The Atonement thus became the only defense which was not a two-edged sword.3 The Atonement actually began long before the resurrection. 2Many souls offered their efforts on behalf of the separated ones. 3But they could not withstand the strength of the attack and had to be brought back. 4Angels came, too, but their protection was not enough, because the separated ones were not interested in peace. 5They had already split themselves and were bent on dividing rather than reintegrating. 6The levels they introduced into themselves turned against each other, and they, in turn, turned against one another. 7They established differences, divisions, cleavages, dispersion, and all the other concepts related to the increasing splits they produced. 8Not being in their right minds, they turned their defenses from protection to assault, and acted literally insanely. 9It was essential to introduce a split-proof device which could be used only to heal, if it was used at all.4 The Atonement was built into the space-time belief in order to set a limit on the need for the belief, and ultimately to make learning complete. 2The Atonement is the final lesson. 3Learning itself, like the classrooms in which it occurs, is temporary. 4(Let all those who overestimate human intelligence remember this.) 5The ability to learn has no value when change of understanding is no longer necessary. 6The eternally creative have nothing to learn. 7Only after the separation was it necessary to direct the creative force to learning, because changed behavior had become mandatory.5 Human beings can learn to improve their behavior, and can also learn to become better and better learners. 2This increase serves to bring them into closer and closer accord with the Sonship. 3But the Sonship itself is a perfect creation, and perfection is not a matter of degree. 4Only while there are different degrees is learning meaningful.6 The evolution of humankind is merely a process by which you proceed from one degree to the next. 2You correct your previous missteps by stepping forward. 3This represents a process which is actually incomprehensible in temporal terms, because you return as you go forward. 4The Atonement is the device by which you can free yourself from the past as you go ahead. 5It undoes your past errors, thus making it unnecessary for you to keep retracing your steps without advancing toward your return.7 In this sense, the Atonement saves time, but like the miracle which serves it, does not abolish it.76 2As long as there is need for Atonement, there is need for time. 3But the Atonement as a completed plan does have a unique relationship to time. 4Until the Atonement is finished, its various phases will proceed in time, but the whole Atonement stands at its end. 5At this point, the bridge of the return has been built.8 If you find discussion of the Atonement upsetting, it is because the Atonement is a total commitment. 2You still think this is associated with loss. 3This is the same mistake all the separated ones make in one way or another. 4They cannot believe that a defense which cannot attack is the best defense. 5Except for this misperception, the angels could have helped them. 6What do you think “the meek shall inherit the earth” means?77 7They will literally take it over, because of their strength.78 8A two-way defense is inherently weak; precisely because it has two edges it can turn against the self very unexpectedly.9 This tendency cannot be controlled except by miracles. 2The miracle turns the defense of Atonement to the protection of the inner self, which, as it becomes more and more secure, assumes its natural talent of protecting others. 3The inner self knows itself as both a brother and a Son.

IV. The Reinterpretation of DefensesFreud’s identification of defense mechanisms was quite correct, as was his recognition of their creative ability. 2They can indeed produce your perception, both of yourself and your surroundings. 3But Freud’s limitations induced inevitable limits on his own perception. 4He made two kinds of errors. 5The first was that he saw only how the mechanisms worked in the mentally ill. 6The second was his own denial of the mechanism of the Atonement. 7Let us take up the first, because a clear understanding of the second depends on it.612 Denial should be directed only to error, and projection should be limited to truth. 2You should truly give as you have truly received.62 3The Golden Rule can work effectively only on this basis.3 Intellectualization is a poor word, which stems from the brain-mind confusion.63 2“Right-mindedness” is better. 3This device defends the right mind and gives it control over the body. 4“Intellectualization” implies a split, whereas “right-mindedness” involves healing.644 Withdrawal is properly employed in the service of withdrawing from the desert. 2It is not a device for escape, but for consolidation. 3There is only one Mind.655 Dissociation is quite similar.66 2You should split yourself off from error, but only in defense of integration.676 Detachment is essentially a weaker form of dissociation. 2This is one of the major areas of withholding that many engage in.7 Flight can be undertaken in whatever direction you choose, but note that the concept itself implies flight from something.68 2Flight from error is perfectly appropriate.8 Distantiation is a way of putting distance between yourself and what you should fly from.699 Regression is a real effort to return to your own original state.70 2In this sense, it is utilized to restore, not to go back to the less mature.10 Sublimation should be associated with the sublime.7111 There are many other so-called “dynamic” concepts which are profound errors, due essentially to the misuse of defenses.72 2Among them is the concept of different levels of aspiration, which results from real level confusion.73 3However, the main point to be understood from these notes is that you can defend truth as well as error, and in fact much better.12 So far we have concentrated on ends rather than means, because unless you regard an end as worth achieving, you will not devote yourself to the means by which it can be achieved. 2Your question (“How can I incorporate this material?”) enables me to shift the emphasis from end to means. 3It means you are accepting the end as valuable, thus signifying your willingness to use defenses to ensure it.13 The means are easier to clarify after the true worth of the goal itself is firmly established. 2Everyone defends his own treasure. 3You do not have to tell him to do this, because he will do so automatically. 4The real question still remains, What do you treasure and how much do you treasure it? 5Once you learn to consider these two points and bring them into all your actions as the true criteria for behavior, I will have little difficulty in clarifying the means. 6You have not learned to be consistent about this as yet. 7I have therefore concentrated on showing you that the means are available whenever you do ask. 8We can save a lot of time, however, if you do not need to extend this step unduly.74 9The correct focus will shorten it immeasurably.

III. The Proper Use of Denial48When you are afraid of anything, you are acknowledging its power to hurt you. 2Remember that where your heart is, there is your treasure also.49 3This means that you believe in what you value. 4If you are afraid, you are valuing wrongly. 5Human understanding will inevitably value wrongly, and by endowing all human thoughts with equal power will inevitably destroy peace. 6That is why the Bible speaks of the peace of God which passeth (human) understanding.50 7This peace is totally incapable of being shaken by human errors of any kind. 8It denies the ability of anything which is not of God to affect you in any way.2 This is the proper use of denial. 2It is not used to hide anything, but it is used to correct error. 3It brings all error into the light, and since error and darkness are the same, it abolishes error automatically. 4True denial is a very powerful protective device. 5You can and should deny any belief that error can hurt you. 6This kind of denial is not a concealment device but a correction device. 7The right mind of the mentally healthy depends on it.3 You can do anything I ask. 2I have asked you to perform miracles, and have made it very clear that these are natural, corrective, healing, and universal.51 3There is nothing good they cannot do. 4But they cannot be performed in the spirit of doubt. 5You have asked yourself why you cannot really incorporate my words. 6But remember my own question before you ask yours: “O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?”524 The idea of cannibalism in connection with the Sacrament is a reflection of a distorted view of sharing.53 2I told you before that the word “thirst” in connection with the Spirit was used because of the limited understanding of those to whom I spoke. 3I also told you not to use it.54 4The same holds for expressions like “feeding on.” 5Symbiosis is misunderstood by the mentally ill, who do use it in that way.555 But I also told you that you must recognize your total dependence on God, a statement which you may not have liked.56 2God and the Sons He created are symbiotically related. 3They are completely dependent on each other. 4The creation of the Son himself has already been perfectly accomplished, but the creation by Sons has not. 5God created Sons so He could depend on them because He created them perfectly. 6He gave them His peace so they would not be shaken and would be unable to be deceived.6 Whenever you are afraid, you are deceived. 2Your mind is not serving your soul. 3This literally starves the soul by denying its daily bread.57 4In this connection, there is a poem about the Holy Family that says:5Where tricks of words are never said,And Mercy is as plain as bread.587 God offers only mercy. 2Your own words should always reflect only mercy, because that is what you have received and that is what you should give. 3Justice is a temporary expedient, or an attempt to teach you the meaning of mercy. 4Its judgmental side arises only because you are capable of injustice if that is what your mind makes.8 You are afraid of God’s will because you have used your own will, which He created in the likeness of His Own, to miscreate.59 2What you do not realize is that the mind can miscreate only when it is not free. 3An imprisoned mind is not free by definition. 4It is possessed, or held back, by itself. 5Its will is therefore limited, and not free to assert itself.9 It is all right to remember the past, provided you also remember that anything you suffer is because of your own errors. 2As an analogy, imagine a very young child who falls down the stairs when an adult has her arms open in welcome at the bottom of the stairs, and who then develops a totally unwarranted fear of that adult. 3The misstep which causes the child’s fall has nothing at all to do with the adult, just as your own missteps have nothing at all to do with me.10 Denial of error is a very powerful defense of truth. 2We have slowly been shifting the emphasis from the negative to the positive use of denial. 3Remember, we have already stated that denial is not a purely negative device; it results in positive miscreation.60 4That is the way the mentally ill do employ it. 5But remember this thought: Never underestimate the power of denial. 6In the service of the right mind, the denial of error frees the mind and reestablishes the freedom of the will. 7When the will is really free it cannot miscreate because it recognizes only truth.11 False projection arises out of false denial, not out of its proper use. 2My own role in the Atonement is one of true projection; that is, I can “project” (or extend) to you the affirmation of truth. 3If you project error to me (or to yourself) you are interfering with the process. 4My use of projection, which can also be yours, is not based on faulty denial. 5But it does involve the very powerful use of the denial of error.12 The miracle worker is one who accepts my kind of denial and projection, unites his own inherent abilities to deny and project with mine, and imposes them back on himself and others. 2This establishes the total lack of threat anywhere. 3Together we can then work for the real time of peace, which is eternal.

The real meaning of possession should be clarified. 2Fear of possession is a perverted expression of the fear of the irresistible attraction of God. 3The truth is still that the attraction of God is irresistible at all levels, and the acceptance of this totally unavoidable truth is only a matter of time. 4But you should consider whether you want to wait, because you can return now, if you choose.2 Possession is a concept which has been subject to numerous distortions, some of which we will list below:3 Type 1: Possession can be associated with the body only. 2If this occurs, sex is particularly likely to be contaminated. 3Possession versus being possessed is apt to be seen as the male versus the female role. 4Since neither will be conceived of as satisfying alone, and both will be associated with fear, this interpretation is particularly vulnerable to psychosexual confusion.24 Type 2: From a rather similar reference point, possession can also be associated with things. 2This is essentially a shift from type 1 and is usually due to an underlying fear of associating possession with people. 3In this sense, it is an attempt to protect people from one’s possessiveness, like the superstition about “protecting the name” we mentioned before.35 Both type 1 and type 2 are likely to become compulsive for several reasons, including:a) 2They represent an attempt to escape from the real possession drive, which cannot be satisfied this way.b) 3They set up substitute goals, which are usually reasonably easy to attain.4c) 4They appear to be relatively harmless, and thus seem to allay fear. 5The fact that they usually interfere with good interpersonal relationships can be interpreted, in this culture, as a lack of sophistication on the part of the other (not the self), and this induces a false feeling of confidence in the solution. 6It is also fairly easy to find a partner who shares the illusion. 7Thus, we have any number of relationships which are actually established on the basis of type 1, and others which hold together primarily because of a joint interest in type 2.d) 8The manifestly external emphasis which both entail seems to be a safety device, and thus permits a false escape from much more basic inhibitions.5 9As a compromise solution, the illusion of interpersonal relating is preserved, along with the retention of lack of love. 10This kind of psychic juggling leaves the juggler with a feeling of emptiness, which in fact is perfectly justified, because he is acting from scarcity. 11He then becomes more and more driven in his behavior, to fill the emptiness.6 When these solutions have been invested with extreme belief, type 1 leads to sex crimes and type 2 to stealing. 2The kleptomaniac is a good example of the latter.7 Generally, three types of emotional disturbance result:a) 2The tendency to maintain the illusion that only the physical is real. 3This produces depression.b) 4The tendency to invest the physical with nonphysical properties. 5This is essentially magic and tends more toward anxiety-proneness.c) 6The tendency to vacillate from one to the other, which produces a corresponding vacillation between depression and anxiety.7All three result in self-imposed starvation.8 Type 3: Another type of distortion is seen in the fear of or desire for “spirit” possession. 2The term “spirit” is profoundly debased in this context, but it does entail a recognition that the body is not enough and investing it with magic will not work. 3This recognition accepts the fact that neither type 1 nor type 2 is sufficient, but precisely because it does not limit fear so narrowly, it is more likely to produce greater fear in its own right.9 Endowing the Spirit with human possessiveness is a more inclusive error than type 1 or type 2, and a step somewhat further away from the right mind. 2Projection is also more likely to occur, with vacillations between grandiosity and fear.6 3“Religion,” in a distorted sense, is also more likely to occur in this kind of error, because the idea of a “spirit” is introduced, though fallaciously, while it is excluded from type 1 and type 2. 4Witchcraft is thus particularly apt to be associated with type 3, because of the much greater investment in magic.10 It should be noted that type 1 involves only the body, and type 2 involves an attempt to associate things with human attributes. 2Type 3, on the other hand, is a more serious level confusion, because it endows the Spirit with evil attributes. 3This accounts both for the religious zeal of its proponents and the aversion (or fear) of its opponents. 4Both attitudes stem from the same false belief.11 This is not what the Bible means by “filled with the Holy Spirit.”7 2The concept of “speaking in many tongues” was originally an injunction to communicate to everyone in his own language, or at his own level. 3It hardly meant to speak in a way that nobody could understand.12 This strange error occurs when people do understand the need for universal communication, but have contaminated it with the possession fallacy. 2The fear engendered by this misperception leads to a conflicted state in which communication is attempted, but the fear is allayed by making the communication incomprehensible.8 3It could also be said that the fear induces selfishness or regression, because incomprehensible communication is hardly a worthy offering from one Son of God to another.13 Type 4: Knowledge can also be misinterpreted as a means of possession. 2Here, the content is not physical, and the underlying fallacy is more likely to be the confusion of mind and brain.9 3The attempt to unite nonphysical content with physical attributes is illustrated by statements like “the thirst for knowledge.” 4This is not what “thirst” in the Bible means.10 5The term was used only because of humanity’s limited comprehension and is probably better dropped.14 The fallacious use of knowledge can result in several errors, including:a) 2The idea that knowledge will make the individual more attractive to others. 3This is a possession fallacy.11b) 4The idea that knowledge will make the individual invulnerable. 5This is a reaction formation against the underlying fear of vulnerability.c) 6The idea that knowledge will make the individual worthy. 7This is largely pathetic.15 Like all of these fallacies, type 4 contains a denial mechanism, which swings into operation as the fear increases, thus canceling out the error temporarily but seriously impairing efficiency. 2For example, one person might claim she cannot read, while another might claim he cannot speak.1216 Note that depression is a real risk here, for a child of God should never reduce his efficiency in any way. 2The depression comes from a peculiar pseudo-solution which reads:3A child of God is efficient.4I am not efficient.5Therefore, I am not a child of God.136This leads to neurotic resignation, and this is a state which merely increases the depression.17 The corresponding denial mechanism for type 1 is physical inability, or impotence. 2The denial mechanism for type 2 is often bankruptcy. 3Collectors of things often drive themselves well beyond their financial means, in an attempt to force discontinuance. 4If this idea of cessation cannot be tolerated, a strange compromise involving both insatiable possessiveness and insatiable throwing away may result.18 An example is the inveterate or compulsive gambler, particularly the horse-racing addict. 2Here, the conflicted drive is displaced both from people and things, and is invested in animals. 3The implied derogation of people is the cause of the underlying extreme superstition of the horse-racing addict.14 4The alcoholic is in a similar position, except that his hostility is more inward than outward directed.15 5Defenses aimed at protecting (or retaining) error are particularly hard to undo, because they introduce second-order misperceptions which obscure the underlying errors still further.1619 The pseudo-corrective mechanism for type 3 is apt to be more varied because of the more inclusive nature of the error, which has already been mentioned. 2Some of the possibilities are listed below:a) 3One aspect of the possession/possessed conflict can be raised to predominance. 4If this is attempted in connection with possessing, it leads to the paranoid solution.17 5The underlying component of “being possessed” is retained in the “persecution” fantasies which generally accompany the paranoia.

"Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes. And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with a decree of utter destruction.” Malachi 4:5-6 The Ultimate CliffhangerWhen I was growing up there were several TV shows that our family would watch together. You younger readers might not understand this, but it used to be that there were only a couple of TV networks and it seemed like everybody watched them. And there was no recording (unless you somehow figured out how to program your VCR) and no binging. You knew when your show would come on and you were home for it. The best shows were the ones that kept a continuous story going from week to week and they would build up to the end of the season. For weeks they would advertise the “season finale” and you couldn’t miss it. Inevitably at the end of the last show of the season, there would be a huge turn of events and you’d be left in suspense, not knowing how it would turn out. They had you. Now you’d have to wait until the next season before you could finally get the answer.So why are we talking about this? Well, there is a sense in which this is what God did to his people with the Old Testament. When the Old Testament ends you have this amazing promise of God’s restored kingdom. Our passage for today contains the last 2 sentences of the Old Testament, but in order to understand the context let’s look at the verses that come right before this.The Great Day of the LordIt’s important to remember that Malachi is writing to a group of Jews who had recently come back to their homeland. You see God’s people had turned away from him so he sent foreign rulers to take them into captivity. But now they were returning. Look at the amazing message of hope that Malachi gives to them:“For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble. The day that is coming shall set them ablaze, says the LORD of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall. And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet, on the day when I act, says the LORD of hosts." Malachi 4:1-3This is a proclamation of victory for God and for his people. Those who do evil will be judged and those who love the Lord will rejoice. It’s a really beautiful picture. I can only imagine the joy and the hope that God’s people would have received from this. It is truly “great and awesome”.But when was it supposed to happen? That’s what’s crazy, they don’t know. God doesn’t tell them when this is going to happen. Instead, he gives them a sign so that will know when it does happen. That’s where our text for today comes in. He tells them that Elijah the prophet is going to come and he will turn the hearts of God’s people back to him.This is confusing for several reasons. First, Elijah has been gone for over 400 years. And secondly, these are the last recorded words of the Old Testament. After this God stops speaking to his people for 400 years. All they know is that they need to be on the lookout for someone like Elijah.Elijah: Take 2If you aren’t super familiar with the Old Testament, the thing you need to know about the OT prophets is that they were most definitely outliers.

Harsh, or merciful?Do you believe God would still love you, or even like you, if you didn’t get your act together?Listen to the question in Galatians 3:3 again…“After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?” How would you answer the question in that verse? After initially receiving Jesus by faith and grace, are you now working and striving to prove yourself? What would it actually look like to continue by the Spirit instead of your flesh?Think about your quiet time or other spiritual practices you might do. Why do you spend time with God? Does it feel like an obligation or something to get done, or do you experience it as an invitation to be with Jesus?What do you want to experience in your times with God? Name what you want to God, and ask Him to reveal Himself to you.More Resources:For more resources to help you discover steady and sustainable growth through simple spiritual practices, visit lindsaysterchi.com/free.Spread the Word:If you enjoyed this episode, would you help us spread the word by sharing it on social media?

notesGenesis 48John 1:1-3This is an important study from Paul, where he describes the deity and preeminence of Christ. In this podcast, we also spend time talking about how to study the Scripture in order to get a full view of the person of Christ, rather than a partial view, which can lead to a misunderstanding of who He truly is. The cults make the mistake of only studying small sections of Scripture (and, at times even add to or subtract from the Scriptures) therefore end up with a different, and lesser view of who Jesus is. So, we want to address this, and make sure that as believers we build our theology on a whole view of the Scripture.

Saturday of the Fifth Week in Ordinary Time - Drawn to Jesus, Drawn to Mercy for Others

Catholic Daily Reflections

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 14, 2020 4:33

“My heart is moved with pity for the crowd, because they have been with me now for three days and have nothing to eat. If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will collapse on the way, and some of them have come a great distance.” Mark 8:2-3This passage reveals some interesting points to reflect upon. Let’s look briefly at three of them.First, it’s important to note that the crowds were so drawn to Jesus that they were willing to spend three days with Him, listening to Him in a deserted place despite the fact that they were without food. They chose Jesus and His teaching over food and over the comfort of their own homes. This reveals the unwavering interest that the people had in Jesus and in His teaching. It reveals how drawn they were to Him. It’s as if nothing else mattered. They simply wanted to be with Jesus.Secondly, this passage reveals Jesus’ deep concern for the people. His heart was moved with pity for them. He was grateful for their presence but He was more concerned for their physical well-being than they were. Third, it also reveals something quite subtle but profound. Jesus, in identifying the problem of people being without food for so long, invites the Apostles to see the problem. Note that He doesn’t solve the problem right away. He doesn’t immediately tell them what to do. Instead, He simply explains the problem. Why is that?Perhaps one reason is that Jesus was trying to foster love and concern for the people in the hearts of the Apostles. Perhaps it was a moment in which He was testing them and training them to think about the needs of the people. By simply posing the question at first, the people were set before the Apostles so that they, too, could grow in heartfelt compassion for them. Jesus may have wanted their hearts to be “moved with pity for the crowd” just as His was.Reflect, today, upon three things. First, are you drawn to Jesus with such intensity that He becomes the central focus of your life? Does a longing for Him flood your heart and consume your soul? Second, are you aware of the deep concern that Jesus has for you? Are you aware that His heart is “moved with pity” for you every day? Third, are you able to allow the love and compassion that Jesus offers to you, in turn be offered to others? Can you see the “dilemma” of the needs of others? And as you see these needs, do you seek to be there for them in their need? Commit yourself to these three teachings. If you do, you will also be worthy of being called one of His disciples.Lord, help me to be drawn to You with intensity and longing. Help me to see You as the source of all that I long for and need in life. May I choose You above all else, trusting and knowing that You will satisfy my every desire. As I turn intensely to You, fill my heart with an abundance of mercy for all. Jesus, I trust in You.Source: catholic-daily-reflections.com

Wednesday of the Third Week in Ordinary Time - Sowing the Word of God…Despite the Results

Catholic Daily Reflections

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 28, 2020 4:25

“Hear this! A sower went out to sow.” Mark 4:3This line begins the familiar Parable of the Sower. We are aware of the details of this parable in that the sower sows seed on the path, on rocky ground, among thorns and ultimately on good soil. The story reveals that we must strive to be like that “good soil” in that we must receive the Word of God into our souls, allowing it to be nurtured so that it may grow in abundance.But this parable reveals something more that could easily be missed. It reveals the simple fact that the sower, in order to plant at least some seed in good and fertile soil, must act. He must act by going forth spreading seed in abundance. As he does this, he must not become disheartened if the majority of the seed he has sown fails to reach that good soil. The path, the rocky ground, and the thorny ground all are places where seed is sown but ultimately dies. Only one of the four places identified in this parable produces growth.Jesus is the Divine Sower and His Word is the Seed. Therefore, we should realize that we are also called to act in His person by sowing the seed of His Word in our own lives. Just as He is willing to sow with the realization that not every seed will produce fruit, so also we must be ready and willing to accept this same fact. The truth is that, very often, the labor we offer to God for the building up of His Kingdom produces little or no manifest fruit in the end. Hearts become hardened and the good we do, or the Word we share, does not grow.One lesson we must take from this parable is that the spreading of the Gospel requires effort and commitment on our part. We must be willing to toil and labor for the Gospel despite whether or not people are willing to receive it. And we must not allow ourselves to become discouraged if the results are not what we had hoped for.Reflect, today, upon the mission you have been given by Christ to spread His Word. Say “Yes” to that mission and then look for ways, each and every day, to sow His Word. Expect much of the effort you give to unfortunately bear little fruit in a manifest way. However, have deep hope and confidence in the fact that some of that seed will reach the soil that our Lord desires it to reach. Commit yourself to the sowing; God will worry about the rest.Lord, I make myself available to You for the purpose of the Gospel. I promise to serve You, each and every day, and I commit to being a sower of Your divine Word. Help me not to become too focused on the results of the effort I give; rather, help me to entrust those results only to You and to Your divine providence. Jesus, I trust in You.

Why you should focus on changing your habits instead of setting goals this new year

Why Changing Habits Is More Powerful Than Setting GoalsI am all about setting goals, and it’s usually my go-to method for achieving something, but this year I have really tried to take a step back and work on my habits instead.Habits dictate so much of what we do in our lives, and as we work to create good habits we will see slow but permanent behavior change start to emerge in a way that takes less effort than traditional goal-setting.Myths About Changing HabitsI am sure you have heard that it takes 21 days to create a new habit.I am also pretty sure that you could tell me about many instances where you have changed a behavior for more than 21 days only to fall right back into old habits.Did you know that this 21-day thing is a total myth?It’s comes from a Plastic Surgeon named Maxwell Maltz in his book psycho cyberkinetics about self-image. In this book he states that it took his clients roughly 21 days to get used to their new image after surgery.He also noted, that in his own life he noticed it took a minimum of 21 days to form a habit.So, our idea that it takes 21 days to form a habit comes from a book that is usually mis-quoted where zero actual research was done.So How Long Does It Actually Take To Form A New Habit?Let’s dig into some actual research, shall we?A study posted in the European journal of social psychology found that it took anywhere from 18-254 days to make a behavior change regarding eating or drinking habits.This range is huge, and most individuals took much longer than the expected 21 days.Not to mention, that even this study has it’s limitations. This study looked at only 39 individuals, and only habits related to eating and drinking.The takeaway? Changing habits is complex and different for everyone!Why Goals Aren’t Always The Best Way To SuccessSo what is the best way to work on changing your habits? Should you make a goal?There are loads of books out there on habit change, and this topic is sure to come up more on another day, but in my experience changing a habit looks just a bit different than a goal. Let me give you an example of a goal that I set that would have been more effective if I had looked at changing my habits instead.Like many others, I have baby weight that I would like to lose.This summer I made a SMART goal to lose 15 lbs by the end of summer. If you aren’t familiar with the SMART model, the idea is to achieve your goals it should be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely.So let’s make my goal to lose 15 lbs a smart goal.Specific-Yes, it’s a specified number of lbsMeasurable-Yup, you can measure the number of lbsAttainable-As a dietitian, I know that weight loss at a rate of 1 lb per week is a reasonable and healthy goalRealistic-This one is questionable, I should have probably accounted more time for plateaus etc…but as stated earlier, a weight loss of 1 lb per week when making appropriate changes is fairly realisticTimely-Yup, I would complete my goal by the end of the summer.So let’s look at what actually happened. I made drastic lifestyle changes to make this goal happen including cutting out sugar almost entirely, increasing whole foods, decreasing carbs and overall calories.One week I got on the scale, and YAHOO, I’d lost 2 lbs!The next week however, I was up 3This pattern continued and at the end of 7-8 weeks I gave up, because suddenly my SMART goal was no longer attainable in the time allowed.This is why I think that goals are not always the best tool for the type of change we need to make.

So we’re continuing our 4-part series on Dale’s New Book Real Christianity: How to be bold for Christ in a culture of darkness.If you missed last week’s episode we are are covering all eight chapters in a 2-per-show format. We’re not actually talking much about the content of the book as we are building on the content of the book. So don’t feel that if you listened to these episodes there is no reason to buy the book. There’s lots of meat in this little book that we’re not discussing here on the show.I wanted to read a few reviews that I saw on Good Reads and Amazon just to let you hear what other people are saying about this book.This from Amanda Thomas: “Get this book, it will change your life by changing your heart. It’s a must have. No matter where you are, or what you have been through, what you have done, or where you find yourself in life. It does not matter. You need what is written here, everyone does. I’m going to get a copy for everyone I know this year for Christmas. It’s really that good.”Alisha says, “ This book is 5 inches wide, 7 inches tall, and 10 feet deep. A must read.I agree with these comments. I think this is a short and powerful book that is worth adding to your library.So we covered chapter one and two in the previous episode. Today we are tackling chapters 3-4. Chapter 3 is titled “Dedication and Death” and we get to discuss the idea of an altar in Scripture. Dale, this title can seem to be a bit intense. Can you tell us both what you mean and where you got this idea of dying and dedicating yourself to God?So this is one of my favorite chapters in the book. I’m not going to talk about much of the content from the chapter but I am going to add to the discussion I already started in this chapter.In the book, I argue that many in the church have confused the altar call of a softly strummed guitar where God accepts you as you are without the biblical call for repentance and death.We have to remember, an altar in the Scriptures is not a friendly place. It’s a place covered in blood. In the Old Testament it was a stack of stones. In the New Testament it was a wooden cross. Today, we have lost what it means to come to the altar.Instead of dying and repenting, We are made comfortable to remain how we are and who we are. That is not the narrative of the Gospel that a Jesus presents.So let’s talk about this idea of dedication and death. This is not a rare theme found in the New Testament. In fact, it’s everywhere. I’m going to read you a few passages that display this idea for our understanding.Romans 12:1 "I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies (dedication) as a living sacrifice (death), holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.”Galatians 5:24 “And those who belong to Christ Jesus (dedication) have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.(death)”Matthew 16:25 "For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life (death) for My sake (dedication) will find it.”Colossians 3:3 "For you have died (death), and your life is hidden with Christ in God. (Dedication)”Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ (death); it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God (dedication), who loved me and gave Himself for me.”This entire concept of dying to the flesh or “picking up our cross” as Jesus would say is the first part of a two-part process.Death is related to repentance while dedication is related to belief and devotion and obedience. Jesus and John the baptist would often say, “Repent and believe.” Again, this follows the pattern of die to yourself and dedicate yourself to Christ. Turn from your sin and turn to Christ!But Jesus adds another element to this discussion of death and dedication. We can’t just discipline ourselves to change our behavior and religiously dedicate ourselves to his preferred demeanor.This death and dedication isn’t merely religious behavior modification. It’s supernatural rebirth. It’s regeneration.He says we must be born again. As you heard in my recent episode on self-love. None of us are born right and that’s why be must be born again. But what does it mean to be born again? Also, what is Jesus really talking about when He says we need to be be born again?John 3:3 "Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”So this is a story of Nicodemus asking an obvious question to the claims and ministry of Jesus,Basically, he’s saying, “You talk about the kingdom of God being near. How do you enjoy or see or experience this Kingdom?”To which Jesus answers with verse 3This is a big statement because the Jews thought their birth in the line of Abraham as Abraham’s seed was sufficient.This is why Jesus said in Matthew 3:9 “And do not presume to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father,' for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.“Your birth, even a birth in the seed of promise, is not sufficient. You need to realize that your current state is useless. You are depraved and dead. Im about to lay the axe head at the roots of the entire Jewish religion.You need to be renewed, have the law stamped on your heart, regenerated, and be born of water and of the spirit. You need to spiritually die through repentance, get baptized, and be born again of the Holy Spirit.This is how you will have eyes to see and ears to hear. This how you can experience the kingdom of God!1 Peter 1:23 “Since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God;”Have you died fully? Or have you partially died? Have you truly said, “Father, not mine but your will be done” Are you still primarily seeking your will for your kingdom?So as Dale mentioned, the altar represents the moment of justification through Christ, but it does not represent the life-long sanctification through relationship.So in this next chapter is titled, “Abide or Depart” and we’re going to look and see what Jesus claims is the central ingredient to being in a loving relationship with Him.So Dale, a lot of people want to strengthen their relationship but we often go about that either in the wrong way or in just one of many right ways. For example, some people go to the mountains and sit in nature hoping to get closer with God. Some people pray because they get to talk to God. Some people read the Word because they get to hear from God. Some people like to worship because they want to feel close to God. But if real relationship is built on love, what does Jesus tell us about how to love Him?This is a really great chapter that centrally talks about what it means to abide in the vine and to abide in His word. But today, we’re going to touch on‭‭ another point I mention in this chapter.John‬ ‭14:15‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”The greatest way to show your affection for God is by keeping His commandments. This is actually Jesus is preferred way for us display or love and devotion to Him.I want to point out that you can’t keep a commandment that you are unaware of. I think many of us disobey in ignorance. Now we do have the Holy Spirit who comes to convict us of sin, righteousness and judgement (John 16:8) and who will also teach us all things (John 14:26).But the Holy Spirit doesn’t overtake us and turn our relationship with God into some robotic experience. We co-operate with the Holy Spirit. This is why the Scriptures teach us that we can grieve the Holy Spirit.Ephesians 4:29-30 " Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.”So there is God‘s sovereignty and then there’s man’s responsibility. God plays a part by convicting and you play a part by choosing. But part of man’s responsibility is to make yourself familiar with the commands your Lord has given to you.2 Timothy 2:15 “Be diligent to present yourselves approved to God a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly driving the word of truth.”Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.”I think King David (author) said it nicely. Psalm 119:11 “Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee."Do you want to know the Law of your Lord so that you may not transgress against Him. Now, I’m not preaching self-righteousness. There’s no amount of righteous law keeping that can get you or keep you saved. Jesus keeps us saved. But I’m talking about holy living. I’m talking about obedience. I’m talking about listening to Jesus when He says, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”Now, obedience is not the only way to love God but it is the best and first way to love God.Here’s an example from my own children. If you love me, you’ll listen to me. When they don’t listen to me, I feel dishonored. I feel they are not pursuing my will but their will. I don’t feel like they care about me or trust that my ways are better and wiser than their ways. I feel that they are in rebellion to my rule and reign in their lives.1 Corinthians 6:19-20 "Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”God is looking for a yielded heart and a diligent seeker of Him. He loves children who are so concerned and even disturbed at the idea of ignorantly or accidentally disobeying their Father. For this reason, sons and daughters who love their Heavenly Father pray regularly, they read the word regularly, they worship regularly, but most of all they discipline themselves to keep the commands of their Lord. Not because it saves them.But because of the overwhelming gratitude they have for the saving work of Christ.Guys, this book has so much to offer to the church. For me, I think it really helps clarify what it means to wear the title Christian. It put clear words to the theology I can sense but not always communicate.

Do you ever wonder why it seems like the wicked prosper more than the godly? Why it is that good things seem to happen more often to bad people? If so, you are not alone. Surely God is good to Israel,to those who are pure in heart.But as for me, my feet had almost slipped;I had nearly lost my foothold.For I envied the arrogantwhen I saw the prosperity of the wicked.Psalm 73:1-3This is a psalm that can speak to many believers. We seek to serve God and be faithful to him. We invest time and resources in that service. And we try to make a positive difference in the world around us for the kingdom’s sake.Then we look at our neighbors, co-workers, the celebrities on TV, sports or media stars; those who are making no attempt to please God. And yet they seem more blessed than us. Nicer cars. Bigger houses. Better vacations. And on and on. It is easy to envy their prosperity, and wonder if serving God really pays off.That is where Asaph, the author of this psalm, is when the psalm begins. So much so that he had nearly fallen. Turning his back on God and following the example of the wicked. The wicked who seemed to have no worries. Free of the cares that seemed to plague him. Was it all in vain? Was there any value in maintaining a pure heart and personal innocence?For the Believer TodayBut don’t envy them. What they have is only passing. In the end their prosperity will be left behind. It will be only like a barely remembered dream. They deserve your pity rather than your envy.Put your hope in God. He will always be with you. Now and through eternity. While your strength may fail you, his will not. When you don’t know the way, which way to turn, he does. Your road may not be smooth, but it will end in his rest.Read the full devotion at https://devotableapp.com/daily-devotion-why-do-the-wicked-prosper/

Readings for this week:Deuteronomy 8:1-3This entire commandment that I command you today you must diligently observe, so that you may live and increase, and go in and occupy the land that the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors. Remember the long way that the Lord your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble you, testing you to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commandments. He humbled you by letting you hunger, then by feeding you with manna, with which neither you nor your ancestors were acquainted, in order to make you understand that one does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.Psalm 119:105-112Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.I have sworn an oath and confirmed it, to observe your righteous ordinances.I am severely afflicted; give me life, O Lord, according to your word.Accept my offerings of praise, O Lord, and teach me your ordinances.I hold my life in my hand continually, but I do not forget your law.The wicked have laid a snare for me, but I do not stray from your precepts.Your decrees are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart.I incline my heart to perform your statutes forever, to the end.The People Who Fly as told by The Rev. Dr. Otis Moss IIIMatthew 4:1-11Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. He fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was famished. The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” But he answered, “It is written,‘One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, saying to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written,‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and ‘On their hands they will bear you up,so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’”Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor; and he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! for it is written,‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.’”Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels came and waited on him.

Servant Songs: The Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all - March 13, 2016

Weekly Messages - Prairie Presbyterian Church

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 13, 2016

The audio and the full text of the sermon are below. There are also questions for reflection at the bottom. Feel free to discuss on our sermon discussion group on Facebook.This is part five in a five part series on The Servant Songs. Isaiah 52:13-53:12 (NRSV)13 See, my servant shall prosper; he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.14 Just as there were many who were astonished at him —so marred was his appearance, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of mortals—15 so he shall startle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths because of him;for that which had not been told them they shall see, and that which they had not heard they shall contemplate.53 Who has believed what we have heard? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?2 For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground;he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.3 He was despised and rejected by others; a man of suffering and acquainted with infirmity;and as one from whom others hide their faces he was despised, and we held him of no account.4 Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases;yet we accounted him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted.5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities;upon him was the punishment that made us whole, and by his bruises we are healed.6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have all turned to our own way,and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth;like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.8 By a perversion of justice he was taken away. Who could have imagined his future?For he was cut off from the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people.9 They made his grave with the wicked and his tomb with the rich,although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.10 Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him with pain.When you make his life an offering for sin, he shall see his offspring, and shall prolong his days;through him the will of the Lord shall prosper.11 Out of his anguish he shall see light;he shall find satisfaction through his knowledge. The righteous one, my servant, shall make many righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities.12 Therefore I will allot him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong;because he poured out himself to death, and was numbered with the transgressors;yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.Scholars have disagreed about the interpretation and application of the fourth servant song for as long as we have been reading it. This does not mean that we cannot understand what it says, but it does mean that we cannot claim to fully grasp everything that this servant song means.As we’ve moved through the servants songs, we’ve concluded that they do, in fact, point to Jesus. This becomes even more pronounced in this fourth servant song. If it does point to Jesus, we shouldn’t be surprised that no matter what we say about this servant song, it will never be enough to describe the reality of God in Christ, nor will it ever be exact. Jesus is like that. Jesus is greater than any description we can apply to him. We will say one thing about him, make some conclusion about him, and we automatically leave something else out.This is even more true when we confront the mystery of his suffering, death and resurrection and the mix of human and divine elements in it. Did he die at the hands of sinful human beings? Was he betrayed? Was he put on trial and did powerful people see to it that an angry mob was mobilized against him? Yes. But wasn’t it also God’s plan for Jesus to die? Yes. Did Jesus suffer in solidarity with all suffering ones, all victims? Yes. Did Jesus die to save us from sin? Yes. Was he an example to us in his willingness to go to the cross? Yes. Did he do what no one else could do on the cross? Yes. Did he die in our place taking the punishment for all sin upon himself, so that we would not need to bear the punishment for that sin? Yes. Did he die in order to defeat death by being raised on the third day? Yes. Are we supposed to die and rise with Christ? Die to an old life of sin and be raised to a new life of righteousness? Yes. And we could go on.Interpretive problems and problems of applying scripture never means we should avoid that scripture, or say it is too hard to understand and simply gloss over it. Nor should we simply decide for ourselves individually “what I think it means,” and ignore other possible interpretations. Instead, we need to lean in and learn from the multiplicity of meaning. I feel like when we have a text, like we do here, that resists easy interpretation, we are in some ways closer to God—because God resists easy interpretation. Whenever we might think we’ve got God figured out, that is perhaps when we are in trouble. God is bigger than our understanding.The word we search for as we look at a text like this is the word “awe”—or what would have in the King James Version be translated as “fear.” We may very well be afraid as we interpret and apply this text, because we may be off base—we may be wrong about it. But the greater fear may be that what we find in this text is true. That the servant suffered terribly and his suffering was simultaneously at least three things: 1) our fault—we are guilty. 2) to release us from our guilt. 3) God’s divine plan. The interpretive problems are compounded by translation issues.13 See, my servant shall prosper; he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.NIV (and most others) “my servant will act wisely”New English Translation “my servant will succeed” and this sis perhaps closest to the intent of the Hebrew, which conveys that the servant will not fail in his mission.Prospering is not about monetary wealth - it is about accomplishment, and here it is about accomplishment of the salvation mission.“Exalted and lifted up” is a phrase that only appears 4 times in the Hebrew Bible—all in Isaiah. The other three times, it always refers to God. Here, it refers to the servant.In John’s gospel, “lifted up” gets a double meaning. Jesus is lifted into the place of worship and praise and glory. But John’s gospel points to the cross itself as the place of Christ’s glorification. He is literally lifted up on the cross. What looks like shame and suffering to the world is actually the beginning of his exaltation, which will culminate in his resurrection.52:14-53:3This opening section sets up the reaction to the suffering servant. People are astonished by him. What are the astonished by?“So marred was his appearance” - this is difficult to interpret accurately. Is this really saying that he is so disfigured in his suffering that he was unrecognizable? Probably not. What is more likely, is that this means that he undergoes full suffering—bodily, mentally, and spiritually, and to see that is truly terrible. What he went through is inhuman, or sub-human.He shall startle many nations and kings will shut their mouths (or be speechless), because who has ever heard of a messiah who suffers? Who would ever believe that this is the way the arm of the Lord (the means of salvation) would be revealed? 53:2 talks about him being a young plant or root growing up out of dry ground. This is like saying he came out of nowhere. He wasn’t like a solid oak tree whose growth and roots are obvious, nor had he been cultivated by the establishment to be the leader. He just sprang up from a totally unexpected place. His earthly origins are Nazareth in backwater Galilee, even though his true origin is a heavenly one.There was also nothing external about him that would draw anyone in. He was the opposite of what great people are supposed to be like.John Oswalt puts it like this:“A baby born in the back-stable of a village in. This would shake the Roman Empire? A man quietly coming to the great preacher of the day and asking to be baptized. This is the advent of the man who would be heralded as the Savior of the world? No, this is not what we think the arm of the Lord should look like. We were expecting a costumed drum major to lead our triumphal parade. Our eyes are caught and satisfied by superficial spledor. This man, says Isaiah, will have none of that. As a result, our eyes flicker across him in a crowd and we do not even see him. His splendor is not on the surface, and those who have no inclination to look beyond the surface will never even see him, much less pay him any attention.” 53:4 shifts.We’ve already seen that the servant suffers and we’ve known that this suffering is somehow connected to our salvation. We’ve acknowledged that this is unexpected. Normally a saviour, a messiah, would lead from a place of power. This is a suffering servant messiah —three words that shouldn’t really go together. Beginning at 53:4, we learn that he does not simply suffering alongside us, but his suffering is both because of us and for us.“He has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases;”If we knew nothing else about the rest of the servant song or about Jesus, this could easily mean that he has suffered in the same way we have - same sicknesses. But as we read on, we find that it is far more than that.Verse 4 actually displays the conventional wisdom of the time. When someone suffered, the ancients believed it was because of something that they had done. They believed that if you were sick, then it was because of some sin in your past, or maybe in your parents’ past.We see this spelled out quite clearly in the book of Job. We find it as well when a blind man received his sight from Jesus in the gospel of John and the question asked with reference to his blindness is “who sinned that he was born blind? Is it him or his parents?”This way of thinking seems abhorrent to us today, but it explains a casual reading of Isaiah53:4 - “we accounted him struck down by God, and afflicted.” We can still have this attitude today. If you know nothing about someone who is given the death sentence, it is natural to think—they must have done something terrible. Jesus was given the death sentence. He must therefore be God-forsaken. If you know nothing else about him except that he was crucified, your assumption would be that he was tortured and executed for his sins.But, verse five says “But he was wounded for OUR transgressions, crushed for our iniquities;”He did not suffer for anything he had done. He suffered for our sins. He died for what we had done. He died in our place, instead of us. We might ask all kinds of questions about this. Why does anyone have to suffer or die for anyone’s sin? The answer is justice, or simply, what is right.What should we do with a person who takes someone’s life? What would be right? What would be fair? What should we do with someone like Hitler? What would be the right thing? What should we do with someone who preys upon children? What would be just? Should there be some kind of punishment? What about repeat offenders who never learn their lesson? How many chances should we give? What would be fair?Then, what do we do with smaller things? Something like theft, for instance?Now, what should we do with something like covetousness? And what about that commandment about honouring our parents? Are people doing that perfectly? And what should we do with the first commandment asking us to love the Lord God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength? Each time we don’t do that, each time we ignore God, each time we put Him on the back burner - what do we do with that situation? What do we do with any sin? What would be right? What would be just? Then we have question about what do we in fact deserve? We might want to say, I’m a good person - I deserve a good life, with good things. Is that really true? What’s your measurement for that?How about we choose just the fourth of the ten commandments as our measure of how well we’re doing. “Remember the Sabbath and Keep it Holy.”The thing is, we have a measure, and we fall hopelessly short of it. You can say the measure is the law, but you can also say that the measure is righteousness. None of us are righteous. Are we really going to talk about what we deserve for the kind of lives we live? If we go down that road we need to ask the very scary question of whether we are living the life that God has envisioned for us? It is the amazing grace of God that he doesn’t give us what would actually be fair.And the reason he doesn’t is because he loves us. God deals in grace, but he also deals in absolutely perfect righteousness, perfect fairness, perfect justice.In the servant God’s perfect justice and perfect grace are satisfied. It is by his perfect grace that the servant stands in our place to receive the full consequences of our sin.“Upon him was the punishment that made us whole and by his bruises we are healed.”Jesus suffered and died in our place and in doing so he set us right with God. The punishment that should have rested on us, instead went to him, which means that we start over with God. We are seen to be righteous because of this exchange, even though we are not. Verse 6 summarizes this by saying that we are just like sheep. We easily go astray, distracted so easily by the next patch of yummy grass. We’ve gone off on our own, paying no heed to the shepherd. This is offensive to God. This is the fundamental root of sin. We’ve turned away from God, gone astray, gone our own way and not God’s way. This is the heart of the matter - this is our iniquity. But the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.Verse 7 says that the servant was like a sheep too, but not in the wandering off sense. He was like a lamb to be sacrificed, and he didn’t say a word to stop it. He let himself be killed for us.Verse 8 says that he was taken away by a perversion of justice. But didn’t I just say it was to satisfy God’s justice? This is the amazing way God works. Jesus’ trial, suffering and death was a terrible thing. As we read the story in Holy Week coming up, we hear a very human story - a story that is full of human sin. Of the failure of religion and politics. A story of a human justice system being twisted because people were afraid. What is amazing about how God works is that while the human side of the equation was full of sin, evil and injustice, this was the very way that God’s justice was done. This is what is amazing about this servant song. Everything is so unexpected. Jesus is the only one to have ever lived completely without sin, yet he was sentenced to death. It was a perversion of human justice. Yet it was also God’s gracious plan to satisfy divine justice.Because this is the story, we get these lines “who could have imagined his future? For he was cut off from the land of the living…”“It was a perversion of justice” yet, in verse 10 “it was the will of the Lord to crush him with pain.”This sounds terrible. It is what some biblical scholars have called divine child abuse. But what those scholars miss is that, while Jesus is the servant, and Jesus is the messiah, and Jesus is the son, Jesus is, in the end, God himself. God’s purposes are accomplished by God putting himself in the place of suffering and death for our sakes. His grace is on display because in this self-offering, we see how profound our sin is and how much God loves us anyway.For Reflection1) How do you respond to the following statement? Is it encouraging, overwhelming, challenging ?Interpretive problems and problems of applying scripture never means we should avoid that scripture, or say it is too hard to understand and simply gloss over it. Nor should we simply decide for ourselves individually “what I think it means,” and ignore other possible interpretations. Instead, we need to lean in and learn from the multiplicity of meaning. I feel like when we have a text, like we do here, that resists easy interpretation, we are in some ways closer to God—because God resists easy interpretation. Whenever we might think we’ve got God figured out, that is perhaps when we are in trouble. God is bigger than our understanding.2) What is “sin” according to the Bible? Do you agree that we all fall short and that no one is righteous?3) How would you describe the consequences of sin in human terms (between people only)? How about in divine terms (between God and people)? What happens as a result of sin?4) We are like sheep that have gone astray—we turn away from God. Why is this offensive to God? Why is all sin offensive to God?5) When we have been wronged, typical human behaviour is to demand justice. When we are the offender, how strong is the desire/need for forgiveness? Are these demands/desires different from person to person? Why might this be the case? How does Jesus's death and resurrection "satisfy" both of these needs?6) Here is are three definitions for the word “atonement” (dictionary.com)a. satisfaction or reparation for a wrong or injury; amends.b. In theology. the doctrine concerning the reconciliation of God and humankind, especially as accomplished through the life, suffering, and death of Christ.c. reconciliation; agreement.This servant song deals with the doctrine (or understanding) of atonement. In what ways is this doctrine portrayed in the servant song? How else might this doctrine be understood?

Camille PISSARRO, Boulevard Montmartre, morning, cloudy weather [Boulevard Montmartre, matin temps gris] 1897

have always loved the immense streets of Paris, shimmering in the sun, the crowds of all colours, those beautiful linear and aerial perspectives, those eccentric fashions, etc. But how to do it? To install oneself in the middle of the street is impossible in Paris. Ludovic Piette, letter to Pissarro 18721 Early in 1897 Pissarro began a series of paintings of the intersection of the boulevards Montmartre, Haussmann and des Italiens with the rues de Richelieu and Drouot. Between 10 February and 17 April he painted fourteen views looking east along the Boulevard Montmartre, and a further two towards the Boulevard des Italiens. From the 1860s Baron Haussmann’s interventions transformed Paris. The narrow, winding streets of the medieval city – easily barricaded in the 1848 revolution – were destroyed. Approximately 150 kilometres of road were constructed, with long avenues, apartments of a standard height, public gardens, the Paris Opéra and other public buildings, new bridges, gas lamps, a new water supply and sewers, reinvented the city. By the late 1880s Pissarro solved the conundrum suggested by his friend Piette: elevation. From a room in the Hôtel de Russie, on the corner of the Boulevard des Italiens and Rue Drouot, Pissarro looked down onto the new spaces of Paris. Although the artist and subsequent commentators are very particular about the locations of the Boulevard Montmartre series, the city’s topography is not his subject. Rather it is the changing conditions of the streets themselves. Pissaro took several cues from Monet; the high viewpoint and bustling street recall his friend’s painting Boulevard des Capucines 1873.2Both artists show the city’s hustle and bustle – a scatter of people à la japonaise, the melange of dress and hats, pillar boxes and carriage wheels – channelled down the grand boulevard. Boulevard Montmartre, morning, cloudy weather is an extraordinarily energetic painting. Pissarro’s ink and wash drawing of 1897 shows the basic components of the fourteen canvasses, but in the paintings the vanishing point is higher.3This gives the scene greater vibrancy, and makes us feel as if we are leaning out into the street. The merging of the boulevards in the distance, fringed on either side by footpaths, street-level shops and regulation-height apartments, all serve to emphasise the high perspective. A forest of chimneys is echoed by spindly trees, which line the boulevard. The patchwork of shop windows at right seems to take on elements of the crowds. An ‘imperial coach’, the heads of passengers visible through the open roof, ferries people down the boulevard. The scene is rendered with a palette of great subtlety: greys, browns and whites accented with red and tiny amounts of green. Pissarro’s fixed viewpoint meant that he recorded the ever-shifting configurations of crowds and traffic. At times the differences between the position of people in the street from one Boulevard painting to another is so slight that we could be looking at photographs of the same scene, taken only moments apart.
