PASTORS MESSAGE

From the desk of Pastor David,

       As we move our way through the Lenten season, it is easy to get distracted from the “reason for the season,” which is a time for repentance, reflection, and renewal. Through prayer, fasting, and giving to the poor (the poor in money and the poor in spirit), we reflect the light of Christ. These are all acts we should practice all year (and we do), but as we approach Easter, it is good for us to have a particular focus on this journey we have committed to, this thing called Christianity.

I leave you with an excerpt from “Sacred Meditations,” a work by the 17th century German theologian Johann Gerhard, born about 40 years after the death of Martin Luther. Considered the greatest theologian of his day, in this treatise, he takes away every argument for the reader who believes that being a disciple is too hard.
 
He takes upon Himself our sins and their just deserts; His precious body is bound, scourged, wounded, pierced, crucified, and laid in the sepulchre; His blood starts forth profusely, like the dew, from all parts of His suffering body; His most holy soul is saddened beyond measure, and became sorrowful even unto death (Matt. xxvi. 38); He is subjected to the very pains of hell, and the Eternal Son of God cries out in horror that He is forsaken of God (Matt. xxvii. 46). He sweats such great drops as of blood, and such anguish does He suffer as to need the comfort of an angel (Luke xxii. 43), who Himself comforts all angels…From the cross He cries:
“Behold, O sinful man, what I am suffering for thee; to thee I cry, because for thee I am dying. Behold the punishment inflicted upon Me! Behold the nails which pierce Me; there is no grief like unto My grief, and yet though My outward sufferings are so great, far greater is the agony of My heart, because I am finding thee so ungrateful.” Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, O Thou only God of mercy, and turn our stony hearts to Thee!.

Amen
Pastor David
