Completing the Work

Jesus praying to the Father said, "I glorified you on earth by finishing the work that you gave me to do." (John 17:4, NRSV) This line comes from what we often refer to as the High Priestly Prayer (John 17). It is the prayer that Jesus prays after the Last Supper and before his arrest. It is interesting that Jesus talks about "finishing the work" that the Father had given him to do. We might find ourselves caught off guard by this, especially if we are used to thinking of the work of Christ in terms of the Cross and the Resurrection. In what sense has the work been completed?

Dirt, Dogs, and Defilement - Sermon Prep for August 20, 2023

 Sermon: Dirt, Dogs, and Defilement – August 20, 2023 – Lebanon UMC Proper 15 Year A — Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost Watch video of the sermon on Facebook . Matthew 15:1-28 1  Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,  2  “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands before they eat.”  3  He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?  4  For God said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must surely die.’  5  But you say that whoever tells father or mother, ‘Whatever support you might have had from me is given to God,’ then that person need not honor the father.  6  So, for the sake of your tradition, you nullify the word of God.  7  You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied rightly about you when he said: 8  ‘This people honors me wit...
