Sermon Series "Encounters with Jesus"-Week 1-Encounter at the Temple-Luke 2:41-52

A sermon from our series on Luke Date: 23 March 2025 Speaker: Evan McFarlane Luke 21:5-38 www.stmatthews.com.au/unichurch

Full Text of ReadingsSolemnity of Saint Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary Lectionary: 543The Saint of the day is Saint Joseph, Husband of MarySaint Joseph's Story The Bible pays Joseph the highest compliment: he was a “just” man. The quality meant a lot more than faithfulness in paying debts. When the Bible speaks of God “justifying” someone, it means that God, the all-holy or “righteous” one, so transforms a person that the individual shares somehow in God's own holiness, and hence it is really “right” for God to love him or her. In other words, God is not playing games, acting as if we were lovable when we are not. By saying Joseph was “just,” the Bible means that he was one who was completely open to all that God wanted to do for him. He became holy by opening himself totally to God. The rest we can easily surmise. Think of the kind of love with which he wooed and won Mary, and the depth of the love they shared during their marriage. It is no contradiction of Joseph's manly holiness that he decided to divorce Mary when she was found to be with child. The important words of the Bible are that he planned to do this “quietly” because he was “a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame” (Matthew 1:19). The just man was simply, joyfully, wholeheartedly obedient to God—in marrying Mary, in naming Jesus, in shepherding the precious pair to Egypt, in bringing them to Nazareth, in the undetermined number of years of quiet faith and courage. Reflection The Bible tells us nothing of Joseph in the years after the return to Nazareth except the incident of finding Jesus in the Temple (Luke 2:41–51). Perhaps this can be taken to mean that God wants us to realize that the holiest family was like every other family, that the circumstances of life for the holiest family were like those of every family, so that when Jesus' mysterious nature began to appear, people couldn't believe that he came from such humble beginnings: “Is he not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother named Mary…?” (Matthew 13:55a). It was almost as indignant as “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” (John 1:46b).

Luke: The Action | Jesus at the Temple | Luke 2:41-52 Sermon from December 29, 2024– Deron Spoo, Pastor   Part 1 of 18 of the series The Advent

"Hear, O heavens, and listen, O earth,  for the LORD speaks:  Sons have I raised and reared,  but they have rebelled against me.  An ox knows its owner,  and an ass,* its master's manger;  But Israel does not know,  my people has not understood.” Isaiah 1:2-3      Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE!    CGSUSA Parent Pages HERE    "The events of Christ's infancy appear rather difficult due to the misuse that is generally made of them by often telling them (with many diminutives!) as if they were beautiful fables. The fact is that the infancy narratives, especially in Luke, are a type of “theological tapestry” - if it is possible to call them so- whereby the evangelist stresses the grandeur of the mystery he is announcing through a variety of techniques.” The Religious Potential of the Child, pg. 76    Marty O'Bryan joins us on the podcast to ponder how deep the scriptures during this season of Christmas are and the beautiful theological tapestry that weaves them all together throughout the whole Bible are.      Marty O'Bryan began her formation in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd with Sofia Cavalletti in 1983 and has been a catechists since 1985. She conducts adult formations at Levels I, II and III throughout the United States. A retired speech and language pathologist, Marty holds a Master of Arts degree in Pastoral Studies with an emphasis on the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd from Aquinas Institute of Theology.

Instead it offers a glimpse into the religious life of the atrium, a specially prepared place for children to live out their silent request: “Help me come closer to God by myself.” Here we can see the child's spiritual capabilities and perhaps even find in our own souls the child long burdened with religious information. This book serves as a companion to the second volume, The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Years Old.

This week we're reading Luke 2:41-52, the story of twelve-year-old Jesus left behind in the temple as his parents return home from the Passover celebration. We talk about the ways repeated rituals like that ancient Passover pilgrimage can open up space for new and profound encounters with God, opportunities to integrate one's own life into the story of the Torah and into the light of God's revelation. We also ponder the tension in this text between Jesus's earthly family and his heavenly Father. While it seems at first as though Jesus' relationship with God necessarily takes precedence, we find that ultimately Jesus goes home to live obediently with his earthly family. We think about the tensions in our own lives between God's calling and the calling to be with our own families, and what it means to discern our own priorities in any given moment.

Christmas - 5: Nick Smith talks on Jesus presented in the Temple Luke 2:22-40 read by Alice Medlam. Playing time: 55 minutes.

See Matthew ch. 2. Though St Matthew's account may leave the impression that the flight into Egypt was almost immediate, it would have been at least forty days after Christ's birth, following His Presentation in the Temple (Luke ch. 2). Christ, his holy Mother and his adoptive father St Joseph probably remained in Egypt for several years, until the death of Herod the Great.   St Nikolai Velimirovic (in the Prologue) relates the following tale: the holy family, fleeing into Egypt, were accosted by robbers, one of whom, seeing the Christ Child, was amazed at his supernatural beauty and said 'If God were to take human flesh Himself, He would not be more beautiful than this child!'. The robber told his companions to take nothing from the family. In gratitude the Mother of God told him 'This Child will reward you richly for having spared Him today.' Thirty years later it was this robber who was crucified at Christ's right hand, and was granted to hear the words 'Today shalt thou be with Me in Paradise.'

ShownotesThe words grief and joy are not two concepts most think go together. Yet when we understand the meaning and look deeper,  anyone can achieve joy even in the most trying moments. In this episode Andrea gives an update on her new walk with grief. Despite some pretty hard moments, she shares how she  has encountered joy after a long season and how God has led her through the storm. Using biblical examples, both ladies show how joy and sorrow can be more similar that given credit.  Listen in as Jennifer and Andrea discuss ways to find joy in trying times and how God moves to help us through these seasons. Links from the show​City of God​Jeff Cavins - 4 Levels of Happiness​Footprints poem (printable PDF)​St. Augustine of Hippo, Confessions, 1,1.5: ​West Coast Christian Writers Conference​S3 E9: Honoring Those Who Have Come Before Us with Deacon Art MillerScripture verses mentioned​Mark 4:35-41.

Why do we need both? ​Andrea talks about the benefits of a silent retreat. What are you doing right now to help you cultivate silence in your life? ​As Andrea pointed out on the show, the storm must happen to get to the rainbow. How are you allowing the storm to form you, so that you can be ready for the rainbow to shine through? ​Reflect on the birth of Jesus for joy. Consider the following words for meditation: stillness, quiet, smallness, peace, labor pains, ​What are ways you can practice being “poor in spirit”? How does God bless us in this? ​As discussed in the episode, joy is a choice we must be open to receiving. What is blocking you right now from receiving joy? What step(s) can you take to work toward joy? ​What is your mourning glory?

In this episode of Catholic Girl on the Radio, Rita Scally delves into Luke 19:45-48, where Jesus cleanses the temple, declaring it a house of prayer and confronting those who had turned it into a den of thieves. Guided by the profound insights of Saints Cyril of Alexandria, Augustine, and Ambrose, Rita reflects on the transformation of worship from ritualistic practices to heartfelt devotion, the sacredness of our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit, and the necessity of letting go of spiritual clutter to fully embrace Christ's light. Listeners will explore the bold call to action symbolized by Jesus' righteous anger, the significance of genuine worship free from material gain, and the warning against pride and corruption within the Church. Drawing on the wisdom of saints, Rita emphasizes the power of living the faith authentically, echoing the words of Saint Francis, "Preach the Gospel at all times; when necessary, use words," and the gentle but transformative love inspired by Saint Teresa of Calcutta. This episode reminds us of the importance of daily repentance, sincere worship, and recognizing the truth that lies before us. Tune in to reflect on what it means to cleanse your spiritual temple and align your life with Christ's teachings.

When Jesus arrives at the temple, he acts against the injustices occurring and begins teaching in the same temple that wronged the LORD. Listen in to hear more.

Jesus, at the age of twelve, accompanies Mary and Joseph, and a large group of their relatives and friends to Jerusalem on pilgrimage for Passover. On the day of their return, Jesus lingered, staying in the Temple, but his parents thought that he was among their group when he was not. Mary and Joseph headed back home and after a day of travel realised Jesus was missing, so they returned to Jerusalem, finding the boy three days later. He was found in the Temple in discussion with the elders, listening to them and asking them questions. Books by Dr. Ralph F.

The Gospel According to Luke: Encountering the Real Jesus Pastor Anson McMahon

An exposition of Luke 19:45-21:4 preached at Christ Our Savior Baptist Church on Sunday, March 24, 2024 by Kyle Newcomer.

This passage sheds light on the significance of keeping God's house pure and the spiritual lessons we can glean from Jesus' actions.IntroductionIn our homes, we often prioritize cleaning to maintain a sense of order and cleanliness. Similarly, in the scripture, we learn about God's house and the importance of occasional "house cleaning" sessions. Join me today as we explore the profound spiritual lessons embedded in God's house cleaning.Scripture Reading and AnalysisJesus' cleansing of the temple is a well-known passage found in all four gospels, emphasizing its significance. Jesus enters the temple, overturns tables, and drives out those who were exploiting worshippers. This action highlights Jesus' divine authority and the sanctity of God's house.Key InsightsThe Sanctity of God's House: The temple was intended as a place of prayer and reverence. However, it had been corrupted into a marketplace, exploiting worshippers for profit. Jesus' actions underscore the importance of maintaining the sanctity of sacred spaces dedicated to worship.The Importance of Prayer: Jesus emphasized that God's house should be a house of prayer. This challenges us to reflect on the centrality of prayer in our churches today. Are our churches known for their commitment to prayer, or do we prioritize other aspects over prayer?The Great Commission and Prayer: Fostering a culture of prayer aligns with the Great Commission. Just as the apostles prioritized prayer in establishing churches, we should emphasize prayer as an integral part of fulfilling the Great Commission.Application and ReflectionAs we consider the cleansing of God's house, let us reflect on our churches' priorities. Are we fostering a culture of prayer and reverence? Let us heed the call to prioritize prayer and seek God's guidance in all aspects of our ministry.ConclusionIn conclusion, the cleansing of God's house serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of prayer and reverence in our churches and in our lives. Let us commit to maintaining the sanctity of sacred spaces and prioritizing prayer in all aspects of our ministry.Thank you for joining me on today's episode of "The Bible Project Daily Podcast".  Stay tuned for more insightful discussions on scripture and its relevance to our lives.Support the showJeremy McCandless is creating podcasts and devotional resources | PatreonHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

The Infancy Narratives is a term applied to the accounts of the birth and early life of Jesus as given in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Both accounts are concerned with showing the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies in the Christ event. Although infancy narratives open two of the four gospels, biblical scholars generally assign them last in the order of composition, thus suggesting, that the passion story was composed first, reflecting the early Christian community's effort to make sense of the crucifixion of their Messiah. Next were added accounts of Jesus' ministry, and only afterwards did the infancy accounts evolve, answering to human curiosity about Jesus' origins.

Not long after the birth of Jesus, Joseph and Mary adhered to three Jewish ceremonies: Circumcision, performed on the eighth day, for all male children; Purification from childbirth for Mary, 40 days after her son's birth; and Consecration of the firstborn in the Temple, in recognition that the firstborn son belongs to the Lord.

See Matthew ch. 2. Though St Matthew's account may leave the impression that the flight into Egypt was almost immediate, it would have been at least forty days after Christ's birth, following His Presentation in the Temple (Luke ch. 2). Christ, his holy Mother and his adoptive father St Joseph probably remained in Egypt for several years, until the death of Herod the Great.   St Nikolai Velimirovic (in the Prologue) relates the following tale: the holy family, fleeing into Egypt, were accosted by robbers, one of whom, seeing the Christ Child, was amazed at his supernatural beauty and said 'If God were to take human flesh Himself, He would not be more beautiful than this child!'. The robber told his companions to take nothing from the family. In gratitude the Mother of God told him 'This Child will reward you richly for having spared Him today.' Thirty years later it was this robber who was crucified at Christ's right hand, and was granted to hear the words 'Today shalt thou be with Me in Paradise.'

Reflections on the boy Jesus at the Temple (Luke 2), on adolescence as a time for differentiation and risk, and on Jesus relationships with his earthly & heavenly parents

When hearing the Lukan genealogy of Jesus in English, it's easy for people to adopt anti-scriptural notions of "king" and "priest,” developing incorrect expectations for how Jesus Christ will rule in the coming kingdom. But, as always, the key to hearing the author's story lies in the meaning of the names. Between two Josephs, who fail miserably at continuing what only God himself can sustain through his teaching, lies a squandered gift and a failed hope of men who claim that Elohim is their God but look instead to the line of priests and kings—institutional functionaries of the very Temple Luke destroyed at the outset of his story. These false teachers and rulers repeatedly lead—not only the sons of Israel—but all of God's children astray into oppression and slavery. Now, through God's intervention, their line and the cycle of oppression are finally disrupted with the birth of Jesus Christ. It sounds nice, like something Rich and I made up, but every last bit comes from the functional meaning of the names in the first two verses of the Lukan genealogy and their interaction with Genesis. Richard and Fr. Marc discuss Luke 3:23 (Episode 478) ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Full Text of ReadingsFourth Sunday of Lent Lectionary: 31The Saint of the day is Saint Joseph, Husband of MarySaint Joseph's Story The Bible pays Joseph the highest compliment: he was a “just” man. The quality meant a lot more than faithfulness in paying debts. When the Bible speaks of God “justifying” someone, it means that God, the all-holy or “righteous” one, so transforms a person that the individual shares somehow in God's own holiness, and hence it is really “right” for God to love him or her. In other words, God is not playing games, acting as if we were lovable when we are not. By saying Joseph was “just,” the Bible means that he was one who was completely open to all that God wanted to do for him. He became holy by opening himself totally to God. The rest we can easily surmise. Think of the kind of love with which he wooed and won Mary, and the depth of the love they shared during their marriage. It is no contradiction of Joseph's manly holiness that he decided to divorce Mary when she was found to be with child. The important words of the Bible are that he planned to do this “quietly” because he was “a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame” (Matthew 1:19). The just man was simply, joyfully, wholeheartedly obedient to God—in marrying Mary, in naming Jesus, in shepherding the precious pair to Egypt, in bringing them to Nazareth, in the undetermined number of years of quiet faith and courage. Reflection The Bible tells us nothing of Joseph in the years after the return to Nazareth except the incident of finding Jesus in the Temple (Luke 2:41–51). Perhaps this can be taken to mean that God wants us to realize that the holiest family was like every other family, that the circumstances of life for the holiest family were like those of every family, so that when Jesus' mysterious nature began to appear, people couldn't believe that he came from such humble beginnings: “Is he not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother named Mary…?” (Matthew 13:55a). It was almost as indignant as “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” (John 1:46b).
