Brown's Daily Word 4-5-12

Good morning,

Praise the Lord for this Maundy Thursday. Maundy Thursday is the name given to the day on which Jesus celebrated the Passover with His disciples, known as the Last Supper. The word “Maundy” is derived from the Latin word for “command” or "mandate". The “Maundy” in Maundy Thursday refers to the command Jesus gave to the disciples at the Last Supper, that they should love and serve one another. The Church of Jesus Christ will gather this evening around the world to celebrate the Lord's supper. Here in Union Center we will gather this evening at 6:30 PM, joining people of the Lord around the globe and around the corner to celebrate the Lord's supper.

It was a bad night in Jerusalem, some twenty centuries ago, as a small group of people gathered in an upper room to celebrate the anniversary of the Passover. Once again, God was about to act decisively to set his people free – this time, to free them from their bondage to sin and death. Once again the air with heavy – filled with the thought of imminent death – our Lord’s death. Interestingly, on such bad nights as this, it has historically been the custom of those who are the children of God to gather together in the presence of their Lord and, in one another’s company, to share a meal. God gave Moses specific instructions about the meal the Israelites were to eat as they gathered in their homes on that night in Egypt, when death was heavy in the air. They were to eat the Paschal lamb, along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs, as they sang psalms and drank wine.
On the bad night in Jerusalem, Jesus also gave us a command to eat, saying, “Do this, in remembrance of me.” God commanded Moses, “This day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord.”

To this day, the people of the Jewish faith celebrate the Passover, eating a seder meal, remembering how God redeemed them from bondage as the angel of death passed over their homes, setting them free. They remember the blood of the lamb on the doorposts, God’s guarantee that he would pass over their homes, as cries of death filled the air from their neighboring Egyptian families. They remember that on that bad night in Egypt, God freed them from slavery and made them a free people again.
As Jesus celebrated his last Passover meal with his disciples, he also asked them to eat the bread and drink the wine in remembrance of Him! The disciples of Christ would come to realize that the death that hung heavy in the air that night was our Lord’s death, for our redemption. Jesus, the sinless Son of God, was about to offer himself in place of the Paschal lamb of the Passover so that He might atone for our sins and redeem us from death.
It must have been a strange feeling for the children of Israel to gather around their tables in peace, singing Psalms of praise to God, while in the homes of their Egyptian neighbors the wail of death was heard. Yet, peace is what they experienced that night, the peace of knowing that through their faith in God, the angel of death had passed over their homes, delivering them from bondage.
The Israelites were instructed to eat the Passover dressed for travel.

The disciples on that first Maundy Thursday evening were soon to learn how much they needed the forgiveness and strength the Lord had given them in His holy meal. It was a bad night, but they would live through it. Even their sins of that night would be passed over, as they, too, failed to grasp the significance of what Jesus was doing for them.
The famous Dutch artist, Rembrandt, painted an interesting picture of the crucifixion of Jesus. It depicts the suffering of Jesus, the indifference of the soldiers, and the sorrow of the women at the cross. The most unusual aspect of the picture is that if you look closely you will see that Rembrandt painted himself into the shadows. The Lord Supper, likewise, helps us see ourselves at the foot of the cross where we remember the suffering of Jesus on our behalf. Either we come around the table in reverence, thanksgiving, humility, and awe, or we can come in indifference and pride. Whenever and wherever we gather before the Lord before His Table, let us remember Jesus. May we remember all He did for us, and give thanks for the forgiveness and renewal we find in Him.

In Christ,

Brown

Brown's Daily Word 4-4-12

Good morning,

Praise the Lord for this Wednesday of Holy Week. We will gather for our mid-week gathering for fellowship and study at 6 PM followed by Choir practice at 7:30 PM. We look at the life of our Lord during Holy Week, the last days He spent on earth. According to St. Mark 14, Jesus was anointed at Bethany at this time.

Unbelievers, guided by a life philosophy that promotes selfishness (the attitude that says, “You’ve gotta look out for ‘Number One’”) have always had a hard time trying to understand the lifestyle of Christ’s disciples. The world that we know has a philosophy that models greed (“Take what you can get!”), and a philosophy that assigns importance in dollar figures (how often have you heard someone ask, “What do you think he’s worth?”), but the disciples all behind for Christ.

Christ-centered people are difficult to understand in the context of a self-centered world. We read about one woman who, in the presence of Jesus Christ, was so overwhelmed by the wonder of who he was and by the thought of all he had done in her life, that she did something which many present thought was a foolish thing. While Jesus was on his last journey to Jerusalem He stopped at the village of Bethany. While he was there, he was invited to the house of Simon the leper for a dinner in his honor. Mary, however, is the focus of our story as John recorded that she was the one who broke the precious alabaster jar and poured the perfume over Jesus.
Mary entered the room with “an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard.” This was her way of giving to Jesus. Mary gave her precious perfume. It was Passover week, a week in which special efforts were made to help the needy. The disciples found it hard to imagine how anyone who ought to be giving alms to the poor could just throw it away like this! Just think how much good this money could have done if it had been used to feed hungry families or to clothe naked children! Instead it was, by the thought of the day, wasted through the extravagance of an impulsive woman.
There are many different kinds of giving in the scriptures: the giving of our time, our money, our possessions. In fact, giving is the story of the Christian faith. The Bible itself is a book on giving. It tells how God gave man life, created the world for him and gave him dominion over every other creature. He gave man a home in the garden of Eden and, when man fell, he gave him a promise of redemption. He gave the Israelites a law. He has given us the Church and the promise of eternal life. But, above all else, he has given us his Son. The very essence of Christianity is the cross where God so loved the world that he gave.
The Bible is also the story of man giving back to God. Cain and Abel brought gifts to God. When Noah got off the ark, he gave an offering to God. The Jews gave tithes to God; not just one, but three different tithes plus free-will offerings. They gave as much as 15-30% of their income to God. The church is also to give. “Let every one of you lay by in store as God hath prospered him" (I Corinthians 16:2). An accurate description of the New Testament church is that we should be a fellowship of givers.
Love always seems wasteful to those who don’t love. Judas had witnessed an action of love and he called it extravagant waste. He said, "Why this waste?" May God give us more of that kind of waste! May God grant us more sacrificial expressions of love, because the offerings of love are never wasted. Mary took the most precious thing that she possessed and spent it all on Jesus. Genuine love always contains an element of extravagance.
William Barclay said in his commentary on this passage, "Love does not neatly calculate the less or the more. It is not concerned to see how little it can decently give. If it gave all it had, if indeed it gave all the world, the gift would still be too little." There is a certain recklessness in love which refuses to count the cost.

What was the response of Jesus to all of this? In Mark 14:6-7, Jesus responded, "Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me. For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; but me you do not always have." Then Jesus gave perhaps what is the most beautiful description of what real Christian love and real Christian service is. He let each believer know what he wants of each of us. He said Mary "has done what she could".
When Mary anointed Jesus, she was not looking for a place in the spotlight. She did not try to win the applause of the crowd. She merely showed her overwhelming love for the Lord, but her act made her name immortal. In fact, had she performed this deed in order to be remembered, she doubtless would have been forgotten, because the Bible is not given to preserving the names of those who seek the spotlight. Jesus assured Mary of a permanent place in history because she performed a deed of such selfless love. He told her that she would never be forgotten. He said, "Wherever this gospel is preached throughout the whole world, what this woman did will also be spoken of as a memorial to her." (Mark 14:9). When Mary is forgotten by the world, it will be a late day in the history of mankind. When the world has forgotten her, then it will also have forgotten the story of Jesus, who was bruised for our iniquities and wounded for our transgressions.
Jesus commanded those of us who would come afterward to be sure to include this story in our story telling until Jesus comes again. As we reflect on the selflessness and self-forgetfulness of Mary, may the Lord make us less logical and more generous. May He cause us to be less analytical, but more compassionate, less self-centered but more Christ-centered, less concerned about what somebody might think or say and more anxious to honor the One who first loved us.

In Christ,

Brown

Brown's Daily Word 4-3-12

Good morning,

Praise the Lord for Tuesday of the Holy Week. It is going to be one of the ten best days. May the Lord provoke us to glorify Him today and to enjoy His presence, enjoy His promises to us, and enjoy His power for us. May we join the manifold witness that sings praises to Him.

According the Gospel of Mark, the events and teachings that are recorded in Mark 11:20 ff - 13:1-37 occur on Tuesday of the Holy Week. One day a man walked up to Jesus and he said, "Lord, what is the most important thing in the Bible?" Jesus responded by reminding him of the Great Commandment. Jesus said, "I want you to love God with all your heart and soul and mind and strength. Nothing matters more than that. That’s the number one thing in life. I want you to love Me passionately." (paraphrased) Nothing else matters in life if you do not love God passionately. God does not desire that we love Him half-heartedly. He wants us to love Him "with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind and all your strength."
I love the paraphrase of Mark 12:30, from "The Message". Jesus said, ’Love the Lord God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence and energy." That word, passion, in Greek, is the word "heart." In the words of Rick Warren, "God is saying I want you to put some muscle into it, put some energy, put some emotion into your relationship with Me. Don’t be a wimp about your relationship with Me. Don’t be namby-pamby. Don’t be half-hearted. Give it all you’ve got. Jesus is saying, "If you’re going to follow Me, you’ve got to go it with passion. You’ve got to give it some oomph, some spark, some zip, some enthusiasm, some zest. I want you to live passionately."
This truth is found throughout the Bible. The Bible tells us that we are to seek God passionately. We are to love God passionately. We are to serve and obey God passionately. We are to trust God passionately. In Colossians 3:23 it says, "Whatever you do, do it with all of your heart as unto the Lord and not unto men." He wants us to do everything passionately when it comes to loving Christ, serving Him, and living for Him.
Romans 12:1, "Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor." We are being asked to keep the fires going in our lives. Passion is not automatic, but it is a choice. It is a discipline, something that must be maintained. It is not by nature that we become passionate about God. We must choose to do keep the fires going. It’s a discipline. It’s not automatic.
Life conspires to keep us from being passionate. The daily routines of life dissipate our energy. Life consists of a series of seasons, according to the Bible. There is a season for everything. When Jesus reigns in our life, He is Lord in every season. He is the Lord of all seasons. When we have discovered the Lord's purpose for our lives on earth we become passionate about it. Passion and purpose go together. When we have clear purpose it helps to ignite our passion. When we are live only for ourselves, we have a pretty pathetic purpose. It will not make us very passionate. "I’m living for me" is a personal philosophy that will barely give most of us the energy to get out of bed in the morning! We need a cause greater than ourselves. That gives life significance and meaning. The more we understand God’s purposes for our lives and the more we live out those purposes the more passionate we are going to be.
John Hobbs wrote this about passion, saying, "Passion is waking up in the morning wherever you are and bounding out of bed because you know there’s something out there that you love to do, that you believe in, that God made you for and you’re good at, something that’s bigger than you are and you can hardly wait to get at it again. It’s something that you’d rather be doing than anything else and you wouldn’t give it up for money because it means more to you than money."
In fact, the suffering of Jesus on the cross is called His Passion. Acts 1:3 says, "Jesus showed Himself alive to them [the disciples] after His passion by many demonstrations: for forty days He continued to appear to them and tell them all about the kingdom of God."
One of the worst sins for a Christian as written in Revelation 3 is to be lukewarm. That indicates a lack of passion. Jesus said, "I’d rather have you hot or cold. Lukewarmness makes Me sick to my stomach."
C. S. Lewis put it in these terms, "The only thing Christianity cannot be is moderately important." Moderately important! If Jesus is God and He gave Himself for us in life, in death, and in His Risen Life, that means we owe Him the rest of our lives,every spare minute of them. As Isaac Watts composed:

1. When I survey the wondrous cross
   On which the Prince of glory died,
   My richest gain I count but loss,
   And pour contempt on all my pride.
2. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
   Save in the death of Christ my God!
   All the vain things that charm me most,
   I sacrifice them to His blood.
3. See from His head, His hands, His feet,
   Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
   Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
   Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4. Were the whole realm of nature mine,
   That were a present far too small;
   Love so amazing, so divine,
   Demands my soul, my life, my all.

In Christ,

Brown

Brown's Daily Word 4-2-12

Good morning,

Thanks be to Jesus for this new day. The Lord blessed us with a bountiful weekend of worship, fellowship, and celebration. The Saturday Evening worship, led by the "Binghamton House of Prayer " was a great blessing. Yesterday, Palm Sunday, the time of worship at Union Center and Wesley was a great blessing. We had a special time for children and an Easter banquet after the worship time. The Gospel Reading for yesterday was taken from Mark 11: 1-11, the account of our Lord's entry to Jerusalem on the first Palm Sunday.

Christian author Philip Yancey, in his book "The Jesus I Never Knew", described Palm Sunday this way, “The triumphal entry has about it an aura of ambivalence, and as I read all the accounts together, what stands out to me now is the slapstick nature of the affair. I imagine a Roman officer galloping up to check on the disturbance. He has attended processions in Rome, where they do it right. The conquering general sits in a chariot of gold, with stallions straining at the reins and wheel spikes flashing in the sunlight. Behind him officers in polished armor display banners captured from vanquished armies. At the rear comes a ragtag procession of slaves and prisoners in chains, living proof of what happens to those who defy Rome.
“In Jesus’ triumphal entry, the adoring crowd makes up the ragtag procession: the lame, the blind, the children, the peasants from Galilee and Bethany. When the officer looks for the object of their attention he spies a forlorn figure, weeping, riding on no stallion or chariot but on the back of a baby donkey, a borrowed coat draped across its backbone serving as his saddle.”
I have been reflecting on the owner of the donkey. The Lord needed the donkey that belonged to this unknown man. Jesus asked for the use of the donkey. God does not always ask for big things. God will not ask us to give what we don’t have. We may not feel we have anything significant to give, but God sometimes takes simple things and uses them in great ways, as He did with the donkey.
Moses was asked to give his walking stick. Rahab gave a corner of her roof to hide the spies. David gave his sling shot. The widow at Zarephath gave the last of her oil and flour to make a meal for Elijah. The Shunammite woman gave a room of her home to Elisha. The widow that Jesus praised gave her two cents. The young boy gave his five loaves and two fish. The early church shared their possessions with those who had a need. The Bible is full of people who gave what they had, to be used by the Lord.
Everything we have has been given to us as a gift from the Lord. I wonder what God thinks when He sees us wasting what He has given us, or worse, when He sees us squandering the good gifts He has entrusted to us? Max Lucado’s wrote, “Sometimes I get the impression that God wants me to give him something and sometimes I don’t give it because I don’t know for sure, and then I feel bad because I’ve missed my chance. Other times I know he wants something but I don’t give it because I’m too selfish. And other times, too few times, I hear him and I obey him and feel honored that a gift of mine would be used to carry Jesus to another place. And still other times I wonder if my little deeds today will make a difference in the long haul.”
Each of us has a donkey. You and I each have something in our lives which, if given back to God, could, like the donkey, move Jesus and his story further down the road. Our gifts are his and the donkey was his. God has given us many things: our talents, our resources, our time, our children, our jobs, and our interests. They belong to Him. God has given them to us as a gift. They are ours to use, but He can ask for them back at any time. At any time He can request that what He has given be returned in some fashion. He can do this because He is the true owner; we are trustees.
The true believer knows that the value of what we have is multiplied when it is placed in the Lord’s hands. The man gave his donkey, even though it was valuable to him. Consider, however, how much more valuable it became when placed in the hands of Jesus. His donkey played a role in the fulfillment of a prophecy. His donkey transported the Lord of All Creation. The donkey and its owner have been remembered for over two thousand years because of this simple act. None of this would have been possible if the man had refused to give what he had. If we talked to the man he might very well have said, "Hey, it was no big deal." Yet, it really was a very big deal. What we place in the Lord’s hands is used is remarkable ways.
The person who gives his time to read to or visit with people in a nursing home may feel like he is doing little, but he will be surprised when he gets to Heaven. The Sunday School teacher who labors week after week faithfully giving of herself to her students while no one notices will be surprised at how God has used her service to mold the next generation of believers. The person who gets alone with God and fervently prays for the saints may feel like his prayers accomplish nothing, not seeing how God is changing hearts and circumstances in response to those prayers. The persons who faithfully puts their check in the plate week after week may feel that their tithe is insignificant. They may not see that God is using their faithfulness to make it possible not only to have good facilities in which to teach and worship, but God is using those funds to reach people in our community and literally around the world.
The persons who takes the time to jot a note, to make a call, or to stop by and visit may feel that they don’t have much to offer, but by then they give what they have God may be using their efforts to encourage someone who is weary, to comfort someone who thought they were alone, or to reach someone who was drifting away.
What we have is never more valuable than when we place these things in the capable and strong hands of Jesus. Jesus declares Himself to be the long-awaited King that will redeem those who trust Him. The declaration remains the same and so does the choice. Will we receive Him as King and Savior or will we simply stand on the sidelines? As we can see, it is really not about a man’s donkey at all, but it is about a person’s heart.

In Christ,

Brown
