Who Invited You? Sermon for October 15, 2023

  Who Invited You? – Sermon at Lebanon UMC – October 15, 2023 [You may watch this sermon preached on Facebook] Let us pray… Our first lesson today comes from the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Philippians, the fourth chapter, beginning with the first verse. 1  Therefore, my brothers and sisters, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved. 2  I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.  3  Yes, and I ask you also, my loyal companion, help these women, for they have struggled beside me in the work of the gospel, together with Clement and the rest of my coworkers, whose names are in the book of life. 4  Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.  5  Let your gentleness be known to everyone.

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? During the first five centuries of the Christian Church, our spiritual ancestors often fought bitterly over an understanding of the nature of Christ (who do men say that I am?) and his relationship to the Father and the Holy Spirit. The early church would develop creeds and expressions of faith to define that belief. Perhaps the creed that is best known is our baptismal creed — better known as ...
