<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">For
those who may not be aware, the title of this sermon is a clever nod to a song
by UK band Right Said Fred. <a href="http://youtu.be/39YUXIKrOFk" target="_blank">“I’m Too Sexy”</a> was their first single, and rose to
the top of the charts in the US and Canada in the Summer of 1991, though
failing to reach number one in their own country, instead remaining at number
two for a record of six weeks for any song to do this without ever reaching
number one. The top spot was held back from them by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGoWtY_h4xo" target="_blank">Bryan Adam’s song, “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You”</a>. This means that “I’m Too Sexy” was the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NV6Rdv1a3I" target="_blank">“Get Lucky”</a> of
1991.<br />

"I'm Too Sexy", <a href="http://youtu.be/3lKYPp2Kp6s" target="_blank">a song which also happens to be a favourite of Syrian President and tyrant Bashar al-Assad, for whom Right Said Fred rewrote the song with lyrics that mock the president, and then performed it on Jon Oliver’s show last month</a>, is sung from the point of view of a histrionic-narcissistic fashion
model. The song's lyrics express (over-) confidence that his personal level of
sexiness makes him too sexy for numerous things, most notably his shirt
("so sexy it hurts"). The list of things for which the character is
too sexy also includes "my love",
"Milan, New York, and Japan", "your party (no way I'm disco
dancing)", "my car (too sexy by far)", and
the song itself: "...and I'm too sexy for this song", at which point
the song abruptly ends.</span></div>

have had 1 Peter 3 on my mind as it comes closer to the day I need to be
prepared to share from it. The chapter is a difficult one, treading on the
territory of gender roles and submission and modesty, so I’ve been trying to be
cautious as I approach it. What has not been easy as I’ve considered 1 Peter 3
has been a recent surge of messages in the evangelical mainstream about female
modesty and clothing choices<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><u><i>. </i></u></span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span><a href="http://youtu.be/rRhDEIGrFSE" target="_blank">(Click here to hear the audio of this sermon from June 29, 2014.

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It seems like every Summer, as the weather gets warmer and the warm-weather
clothes come out, pulpits begin to declare a well-worn reminder that good
Christian women need to conform to our conservative cultural expectation that

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In the
last week, I’ve had a lot of conversations about this subject with many men and
women, Christian and not. I’m very grateful for their insight. The perspective
I’ve found the most helpful over the last week was from those women who shared
with me their convictions to not regularly dress a certain way, a way that
would intentionally and especially amplify their sexual appeal, and their
reasons for doing so that are very much grounded in their faith, reasons that
are to them an expression of their freedom in Christ, not an outwardly imposed
law. Had I not heard from these strong, bold, female voices, I think my sermon
may have sounded much different today than it will. I am grateful. Before I get
to my core disagreement with and argument against the Christian modesty message
and culture, I want to acknowledge these women, and affirm that I believe their
practice and their convictions are right and good. By the end of the message, I
will get around to how I believe their convictions can be held in a healthy,
gospel-empowered way. However, it is not primarily for them that this message
is prepared.<br />
</span><br /><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">
In this message I will be examining what I see as some fundamental problems
with the Christian modesty message, problems that are not only highly
destructive to young Christian women, but I believe actually compromise and
undermine the gospel, the Cross, and Jesus. My primary concern is not for the
strong women who, in freedom, dress according to their conviction as an
expression of love for God and others. I am concerned by the simplistic and
assumed way the modesty message is shared among us in the church, the message
that women have a responsibility to God to dress a certain way because of the
sinful thoughts of men, as though it is the sole responsibility of women to
dress in parkas to prevent men from "lusting" after them. </span></div>

With both of these on my mind, and my general thoughts already on the subject
as I’ve been considering 1 Peter 3, I suddenly had a eureka moment while
sitting on the train, right after noticing a very pleasant-looking woman who
happened to be dressed very nicely sitting across the aisle. I felt
uncomfortable by how nice she looked and the thought that she might notice that
I noticed. She was sitting in such a way to be directly in my field of vision,
so I turned and looked out the window. As soon as we went into a tunnel, I was
suddenly staring right at her reflection, and then saw her turn to see me doing
exactly that. </span></div>

been looking since then, and cannot find a single instance in the Bible when

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Both of
these examples pair <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">modesty</i> with
flaunting one's wealth. In the case of 1 Peter, it is in the context of a book
talking about living contrary to the spirit of empire in which the early
Christians found themselves. So, Peter is talking about a separation of the
early Christians from the culture of the Roman Empire, in which they were
organizing in alternative community, and not coveting the external trappings of
the privileged of that empire that hid the necessarily violent and oppressive
culture that purchased that privilege. This is the definition of biblical
modesty.</span></div>

is not prescribing a list of rules that men or women should follow so that they
may become free or free others from sin. On the contrary, both of Peter’s books
are about the gospel, the power of God through Jesus Christ to set us free from
such external controls that can never truly change us anyway. The actions of a
Christian that Peter describes are consequences of the freedom of the gospel,
not laws by which we may free of sin or oppression. The modesty message in its
simplest form is the exact opposite of this. In it, a woman is made responsible
for a man’s sin by an external control over her body. <br />
<br />
I believe this perversion of the gospel has more to do with men like myself who
find themselves feeling awkward in the presence of beautiful women, like I did
on the train, and become afraid of their own potential thoughts and actions.
The gospel response to such fear is to give it to Jesus, who sets us free and
gives us the power to live like him. <br />
<br />
Jesus was (and is) a human being. Jesus is a man. Hebrews says that he was
tempted in every way that we are tempted, yet he did not sin <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Hebrews 4:15).</i> Jesus had a man’s body,
and experienced all the same real, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">not-sinful</i>
things that every man’s body experiences. Jesus was a teenager. As an adult, he
was called a friend of prostitutes. Nowhere do we see Jesus being concerned
about how these prostitutes were dressed while he hung out with them. On the
contrary, in the presence of proper religious folks, Jesus received the worship
of a prostitute <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Mark 14:3, Matthew 26:7)</i>
who came to him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, broke it over his
feet, and then wiped them with her hair. Friends, that was a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">sensual</i> act (note – not sexual, but
certainly sensual). Jesus did this, yet Jesus did not sin. How would you
respond if you saw Jesus, a human, a man, receive worship in this way while he
was over at your house for supper?</span></div>

course sin is real and sexual images are everywhere. Many of us in this church
have software loaded on our computers to block or discourage us from coming
upon sexual images that are all over the Internet. But if that’s you, and you
think that those programs are going to stop you from lusting after women in
images on the Internet or otherwise, that’s why you are failing. Sin isn’t “out
there”, hiding in your computer, or the magazine rack, or in the body of a
person you find attractive. Sin is in you, in how you respond to what you see,
whether you see it intentionally or unintentionally. If you are counting on a
program like X3watch on your computer to be the power to stop you from sinning,
you will fail, because there is no X3watch for real life. <br />
<br />
Like Jesus, we are called to share real, meaningful life and love with people
in the world who do not believe as we do, people on the margins, even (and
especially) people who the world has cast off. If we are afraid of encountering
even the image of something that we fear may cause us to sin, how will we ever
do this? We don’t get to excuse ourselves from finding ourselves in awkward,
even tempting circumstances among sinners, if we are honest enough to recognize
that we follow a man who received a foot-washing with a prostitute’s hair.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Start
at the end of that verse. Jesus, the Son of God, loves you. Paul says “Jesus
loved me”. That’s first person singular. Better than that, he loved you. That’s
the past tense. When did he love you? He loved you before he gave himself for
you. So he loved you while you were a sinner. “God shows his love for us in
that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Romans 5:8).</i> So, right now, Christian or not, Jesus-follower or
not. Jesus loves you. Alcoholic, selfish, greedy, porn addicted, cheater,
apathetic to the oppression in the world, complicit in the oppression of the
world, or actively oppressing others, Jesus loves you. Stop. Rest in that.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">When
Jesus saw that prostitute, he did not see an object of sexual gratification.
Jesus saw a person. Jesus saw a person made in the image of God. And he loved
her.<br />
<br />
When Jesus sees you, he doesn’t identify you by your sin. You are not a
personification of those things that most fall short of God’s glory. Jesus sees
in you who he created you to be. By his love for you, you cease to be first
that which makes you ashamed. You are first a person, made in God’s image,
loved by Jesus. This is who you are.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
Then, in that place of already being loved, Jesus gave himself for you. Jesus,
the perfect human, was crucified. Our sin, our lust, which we willingly chose,
separated us from God and by its perversion we became subject to death. When
the man who is also God, our Creator, went to the cross and died, the only
human who would otherwise never need be subject to this end, the entire order
was reversed. Sinless, he died, so that now we, though sinful, may live. This
is grace. By this grace, through our faith in Jesus Christ to do so, we are
given the perfect, holy, loving, just, sinless life of Jesus. That old part of
you that desires sin, that would load a monitoring program onto your computer,
and then seek to find a way around it, has died with Jesus on the cross. It
isn’t alive anymore. Now, we are free to live a life of radical love in the
world, anywhere in the world, without fear of sin, by putting our faith in
Jesus, the one who loves us, to love through us wherever we go.</span></div>

punks in Lethbridge (Alberta, Canada), we used to go to house parties at one
house that had an entire wall literally wallpapered with pornography. The couch
was right in front of it. So when I was talking to someone who was on the
couch, I was also looking at porn. By many Christian's standards, that act was
automatically just sinful. We did not act according to fear or law in this
circumstance, but according to the grace God gave us to live among and
authentically love these people he’d put into our lives.</span></div>

put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was
to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed
over former sins.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Before
we talk about the issue of submission of wives to husbands in this verse, I
want to point out the word, “likewise”, with which the passage begins. This
word links us to the verses before it in the previous chapter, which say the
following:<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: .5in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Be
subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the
emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil
and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing
good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people
who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as
servants of God.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Our
submission to human institutions is not according to our acknowledgment of
their authority over us, but God’s. Peter is not suggesting by this that these
Christians should do everything the government says, or cease to resist them.
Peter, like Paul and most of the early disciples, would later be arrested and
die by the hands of this government whom he instructs the early Christians to
submit to and respect. His description of the responsibility to which God will
hold them is not affirming that this is what they do, but rather describing the
standard by which they will be judged. Notice how he does not claim that this
government institution is God’s, but that it is human. Our respect toward the
agents of the empire is the same as Jesus toward the prostitute. Every one of
them, like us, is a bearer of the image of God, by whom they will be held
responsible for how they held their human position. They are dearly loved. We
may minister grace to them as individuals, even as we resist the injustice
their systems create.<br />
<br />
In the next passage, Paul instructs servants to act likewise toward their masters,
following the same thought. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: .5in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">1
Peter 2:18 (ESVUK)<br />
Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and
gentle but also to the unjust.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
There is much in the New Testament to condemn the institution of slavery. Peter
admits here that slaveowners are unjust. The submission of the servants is not
to call the actions of their slaveowners just, nor the institution of slavery.
However, by their loving actions toward these image-bearers within the system
that keeps them bound, slaves have the opportunity to minister the life of
Jesus, who was also oppressed and even put to death by similar people that he
also loved.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">And
then in the beginning of 1 Peter 3, Paul once again links his point about submission
with the ones before it by saying “likewise”. Women who follow Jesus are
encouraged to remain with and continue to serve their husbands. This
instruction is not intended to legitimize the systems of oppression under which
the early believers would find themselves, but to expose them. The Way of the
Master is to win our enemies by love.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In
Christ, the order has radically changed. Peter writes to women as free persons,
capable of making their own moral decisions. He speaks to them directly as
individual followers of Jesus, not property that is assumed one way or the
other by the decision of their husband. By Peter's instruction, he also affirms
that the Spirit of God in them is actually able to make them the influencer in
their marriage relationship. All of this is radically different from the status
they held before the freedom given them by Christ.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
reality for these women and most of the early church was that practical
struggle for freedom against their oppressors and the oppressive system they
served would have yielded no positive result. Peter acknowledges that things do
need to change, but in Christ he offers a different Way.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">To
struggle against or leave their husbands would only find these oppressed women
free of marriage, but without any protection or support from a broader culture
that gave them no value outside of their home. If, on the other hand, they are
to love their husbands by displaying the light of Christ boldly in their homes,
they may win a comrade, and find themselves free within their home, now
partnered with a brother-in-arms (the kind of arms that hug) for the kingdom.</span></div>

<br />
This entire passage in 1 Peter is about submission. Our lives in Jesus are
about submission. When we have become free in Jesus, we are set free to live in
the world, however we find ourselves, in whatever circumstance we live, in
freedom. We do not act according to the systems of the world for their benefit,
but for the glory of God, so that by our example of freedom, even in suffering
under oppression, people may see Jesus, and God may be glorified.</span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The Way
of the Master in suffering is not without cause. By our perseverance in grace
through suffering, we minister love to those who are bound by the empire's
oppression and control. Wives introduce eternal love to their husbands. Slaves
invite slave-owners to share their true freedom. We bless those who curse us,
and by that blessing we may allow God to defeat an enemy as we gain a friend.
Though not every relationship may turn to good in this way, in our blessing we
participate in the ministry of God on earth, and in this we receive the
blessing ourselves, the indwelling Spirit that continues to powerfully enable
us to love.</span></div>

This is our hope and our path. In Christ, our spirits have been made alive and

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The
arrogant ambition of the spirit of Antichrist is the same for all rebels
against the Kingdom of God. The subject of this passage in Isaiah is often
attributed to Lucifer, describing the desires of his heart before his fall from
heaven. The temptation to all rebels is the same. The desire to become god of
one's own world is common, though empty. All temples house illegitimate
squatters in God's Creation, the temple of the Creator. We may seek our own
power and satisfaction, and find ourselves chasing the wind to our own
destruction, or we may lay down all our desires and seek the satisfaction found
only in the all-powerful God, who made us and loves us and knows our needs
better than we know ourselves. From the source of all life will we be made
whole.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">A
rod is cast down, but is raised as a serpent. Isaiah is reminding us of Moses’
staff, cast down before Pharaoh, turned to a serpent as evidence of God’s
authority. Isaiah therefore implies that Moses' staff was a threat to Pharaoh.
A staff or rod represents authority. When Moses' rod is cast down, when the
authority God has given him appears to be most humiliated, it will still rise
and destroy the authority of the empire. Philistia is rejoicing that the
authority of Israel has been thrown down. God promises to raise it back up as a
serpent.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">When
we consider the image further, it reveals even more. The rod is raised as a
fiery serpent. Though we are conditioned to usually think of serpents as evil,
it does not appear to be so in this case. We are reminded again of Moses, who
raised up a serpent in the wilderness as a symbol of healing for the people of
Israel when they had been bitten by serpents with fiery venom. In John's third
chapter, Jesus applies this image of the raised serpent to himself, telling
Nicodemus the Pharisee that when he is raised up the same way, people will look
to him and be born again from within.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Jesus'
use of the passage about Moses and the raised serpent could also apply here.
Though Philistia rejoices at the fall of Israel and Judah, God will raise them
back up. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">On
the day of Jesus' return, the nation of Israel will, in Christ, have the final
victory over Philistia and all other empires when the one who was raised on the
cross like Moses' serpent returns in fire to judge the guilty.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Up
until now, Isaiah has been writing to Judah, condemning the nation for its
corruption, warning of her coming destruction, and comforting her with the
promise of a Messiah-Redeemer, who will her scattered remnant home and restore
her in justice and righteousness. Isaiah 13-23 is a new portion of the book.
The first twelve chapters are likely from Isaiah’s early years. This section of
the book is from Isaiah’s middle years. In these chapters, Isaiah turns his
attention from Judah and Israel to the nations surrounding her, Assyria,
Babylon, Egypt and Cush (modern Ethiopia), Tyre and Sidon, and Moab. Isaiah
warns these empires that though they see, and some may rejoice in, the fall of
Israel and Judah, the same God who judges the nation of God will judge them as
well.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Though
it may be difficult to read such portions of scripture, a passage like this one
can give us great hope. We may be encouraged to remember God's sovereignty over
the corruption of the empire of this fallen world. No matter how things appear
to be now, justice will be done. The kingdom of God has come. The kingdom is
coming. We long to see the growth of the living kingdom and the new earth fully
realized. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It
is right for us to deeply wish to see justice done, to see the wickedness of
this world finally be burned away. In Revelation 18-20, we hear the cry of the
righteous as they rejoice in the justice of the Great King, after the final
fall of Babylon. The kings of the earth mourn her loss. The citizens of the
kingdom praise God for the manifestation of his power and authority in her
judgment.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Here
is the Lord's declaration of judgment on Babylon, the great empire in which
God's people will live as exiles. Israel would live in Babylon as exiles and
then be brought out by God back into their land. Celestial bodies usually
represent the powers and authorities of the present age, and especially so in
prophetic books. Isaiah warns of a day when all the great lights of the earth,
the kings, governments, authorities, and judges, will turn dark at the blazing
brightness of God’s judgment.<br />
<br />
Today, to live as citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven is to live in the earth
that has not yet fully turned to justice. Like Israel in Babylon, we are also
in a sort of exile. In both cases, God calls God’s covenant people to live as a
blessing among their neighbours, to manifest the character of God to the world,
to invite whoever would to leave the empire and join the forever family of the
eternal kingdom.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hard
as this may be to consider, how much better this is than a God who would leave
the world as it is. I could not believe in a good God who would leave us as we
are, unconditionally loved though we may be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There are girls born into this world who will live their whole lives as
sex slaves and then die young. Everything is not okay. There are things in this
world that are worth our fierce anger. A God that does not judge such evil is
no God worthy of our worship.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Of
course, in the light of such a just God, we ought to tremble. But why would we
dare claim to follow a God that does not inspire such awe? We tremble in the
presence of a God so just and holy that only God's very presence in human flesh
could ever contain God's full wrath. We are free in the presence of God not
because of some pass God gives to evildoers in the world. We are free in God's
awesome, electric, transcendent presence about and within us precisely because
God is sovereign, God is just, and by God's righteous judgment, vengeance has
been had, and full redemption of all victims and perpetrators of oppression
will be made.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">God’s
promise to act in vengeance means we don't need to. God’s judgment sets us free
from the bondage to bitterness, resentment, and cynicism. We are free to
forgive.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We
can also be free to be people who love justice. We serve a God of justice, who
loves justice. We can also love justice. God is a fighter. We can be fighters,
too.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br />
This freedom, however, is still a costly freedom. In the awe of God’s fierce
judgment, we may be free to fight, but only ever as agents justified by God’s
righteousness. No one of us is so holy on our own that we may dare to wield the
sword of justice against another human being. By the same standard that rulers,
kings, and tyrants are judged, so may we be.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We
may be tempted to excuse ourselves from the focused judgment described in these
chapters because we are not the kings and governments of these corrupt empires.
We should not be so quick to justify ourselves. First of all, in a general way
we have all been guilty of the same sins upon which these empires were built.
We have all sought our own comfort at the expense of others. We have all chosen
at some point to build our own kingdom or influence for the sake of our own
glory or power or fame, maybe even using manipulation or conspiracy to do so.
However, our own shared guilt with Babylon in Isaiah may be even deeper and
more specific than this. <br />
<br />
This writer and most who read these words are likely citizens of some kind of
representative democracy. We have each been given a voice in the direction of
our nation's policies and laws. We are privileged. We are all little Caesars,
little Pharaohs in our world. Have we used our authority, our privilege, to
make a more just world for the vulnerable and marginalized? What have we done
to minister greater mercy and compassion in our nations, in our communities,
our neighbourhoods? We all live in Babylon. We are all guilty.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br />
Therefore, Isaiah warns, challenges, and invites all arrogant kings and queens
of all levels of privilege and power to flee Babylon and enter the rest of the
Kingdom. The judgment of God on those who have made gods of themselves is swift
and terrible. Those who refuse to lay down their arms before the Almighty are
swept away. The fear of The Lord is a sure foundation, not that we remain in
God for our fear of God, but that the love of God in which we are made safe is
made all the more sweet for the knowledge of the power of God’s terrible wrath.
We are motes of dust before the awesome Creator. <br />
<br />
We dare not lift our sword or stake our claim upon the earth in which we are
but tenants of the only great landowner. <br />
<br />
Only when we realize that we have nothing are we made free to, in God, have
everything.</span></span></div>

to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you
an example, so that you might follow in his steps. He committed no sin, neither
was deceit found in his mouth. When he was reviled, he did not revile in
return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself
to him who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree,
that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been
healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd
and Overseer of your souls.</span></span></div>

is everywhere in the Bible. Peter is telling us that Jesus’ suffering is our

rarely been reviled. More commonly, the experience I have from people who do
not share my faith is contempt. I am not frequently hated, but I have been
treated with contempt. This word means something more like to be ignored, to be

contempt of the world for hatred. We should be careful not to do so. </span></span></div>

a while. After I do not know how long, I remember my teacher looking at me and
saying, “Oh, put your hand down, Shawn. We’re not talking about Jesus.” I don’t
actually remember any reason why my teacher would say such a thing. I don’t
remember being particularly outspoken. Perhaps I was. But I do remember how
hurt and embarrassed I was in that moment. But, hurt as I was, I was not
reviled. What I experience was contempt.</span></span></div>

do not revile that which poses no threat. That Christianity is more often
treated with contempt than hatred is evidence that we are not yet truly
representing the real threat that the Kingdom of God actually is to the Powers
That Be. But Jesus said that if we followed after him, we would be reviled.
Perhaps you actually have been reviled. Peter tells us that Jesus is our
example when we are reviled.</span></span></div>

there. But I remember this lucid moment when I saw the kid, maybe my own age,
get out of the truck where he’d stopped in the middle of the intersection. I
asked someone to call him over to me, and from the ground I shook the guys hand
and said, "I'm okay. Don’t worry about me. I forgive you." I swear it

Jesus than it is in the obvious times. For example, the Internet. I write some

negative responses. They’ll often be quite inflammatory. I’m not perfect, of
course. There have been plenty of times I’ve had to back down or away from a
statement I’ve made, and in those cases I’m glad to have been called up.
However, sometimes these responses are actually attacks, and sometimes they can
get vicious. At my worst, I’ll use my love of language and reason, one of the
most precious gifts God has ever given me to bless people, as a weapon to hurt
them. I may not be the best at arguing in person, but I’m far from unarmed if
attacked with words in the form of cold text on the screen. With a little time

this may be the greatest encouragement for those who suffer for the gospel.
Though the work of God was complete on the cross, it is not yet complete in its
manifestation in the world. We are now sent as ambassadors of the gospel of the
Kingdom of God, with the good news of the cross and the freedom it gives to
anyone who will receive it. We share the truth of the gospel, the story of the
cross, by declaration, by preaching, by the words we speak. However, we also
share the gospel in our actions. Never on this earth will we better be able to
show the truth of the gospel as we are in our response to suffering. </span></span></div>

of which only draw us closer to his heart. For eternity we will never cease to
sing praise with joy for God's infinite goodness.</span></span></div>

The chapter follows after a tradition of songs of praise from the people of
God. These first verses remind us of the song of Miriam on the shore of the Red
Sea after God miraculously brought Israel through, liberating them from their

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Chapters
Eleven and Twelve end a portion of Isaiah often called The Book Of Immanuel,
after the name of the child mentioned three times since Chapter Seven, and the
meaning of the child’s name, God-With-Us, a phrase also included in this
portion of scripture. The first twelve chapters are also a unit, considered by many
scholars to be a collection of Isaiah’s early writing. In this first
collection, Isaiah has proclaimed judgment on the nation of Judah, and
prophesied its destruction. In the book of Immanuel, he gives Israel and Judah
hope for redemption, and he paints us a picture of a Saviour who will come and
bring peace to the nation after her fall.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Here,
Isaiah writes of <a href="http://pirate-pastor.blogspot.ca/2014/06/isaiah-11-shoot-from-stump-of-jesse.html" target="_blank">the shoot from the stump of Jesse,</a> a new king that will emerge
from David’s family, and take the place of David as Israel’s ideal king. This
king will be just, and his justice will flow from his fear of God. He will
remain faithful to God, and be unmoved by the selfishness that so corrupted the
line of kings that followed after the first David.<br />
<br />
Christians worship Jesus, the Son of David, as this forever King. Upon his
death and resurrection was his kingdom inaugurated. His willing death, though
innocent, purchased for him the earth that had been corrupted by human
rebellion. No more would God’s judgment need to fall on rebel kings and
kingdoms, as it did upon Judah. This king took it all. By his blood may any and
all enter his Kingdom of Justice, an upside-down kingdom that would grow from
the seed of a king who would willingly die as a criminal, into a garden of
former insurrectionists against this very king. Up from the ground would spring
up a salvation that will consume the entire earth. All will be turned back to
justice, peace, and love, as it was all originally created to be.<br />
<br />
Jesus is already on the throne. However, like Judah and Israel in their exile,
as they waited for God’s promise of their return to their land to be fulfilled,
so we also wait patiently as all injustice and oppression and empires of
violence both military and personal are placed under King Jesus’ feet.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br />
We watch as the world’s empires crumble and God’s Kingdom of freedom grows. We
are invited to be citizens of the kingdom now, and to begin now to participate
in the work God is doing in the world to call all things back to true peace and
order. At the return of Jesus, we will see the final consummation of this just
kingdom, as everything is finally put back to right.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

intended it to be.<br />

eternity will remain everything good about God's Creation. Only sin and the
consequences of sin will not remain. To imagine what may continue of this life

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Some
of the things in this life are symbols of the realities of eternity. Many of
these things will remain, but in their true, transcendent, eternal form. For
example, the sacrificial law of the Old Testament was a symbol of the final
sacrifice of Christ on the Cross once for all. The transcendent reality
replaces the temporal one. <br />
<br />
Our physical bodies and the joys and pleasure we experience in them will be
redeemed and glorified. This is not a hope for a misty, abstract eternity, but
weighty, and real, the perfect image of what we now know and experience. God could
have made Jesus' resurrection body in such a way that he did not need to eat.
Yet, Jesus ate fish in the presence of the disciples <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Luke 24:41-43).</i> The animals in Isaiah 11 also eat. If eating can
be preserved for eternity, and play can be something we look forward to, than
we can expect that most of what we enjoy about our life now will also remain. Jesus
says that after the resurrection there will be no marriage nor giving in
marriage <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Matthew 22:30).</i> Yet God has
made us as sexual beings, and called us as his Creation, "very good" <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Genesis 1:28,31).</i> The expression of all
of these parts of our being may be different than we know them now, but there
is no biblical reason to believe that they will be destroyed in eternity. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The
new earth, unmarred by the scars of our selfish treatment now, will be
resurrected as we are, yet still as true and corporeal as Jesus’ body was to
the disciples when he appeared to them. For an eternity we will be able to
explore all of the earth, in communities of pure love, the fruit coming from
the source of all love to whom we are connected. We may enjoy travel,
exploration, invention, and artistic creation. Like the Old Testament
sacrificial system, our eternal, physical existence in the presence of
Immanuel, God-With-Us, may be manifest as a more true, eternal, transcendent
experience for which our temporary lives and relationships as we know them on
this side of eternity are only a symbol.</span></span></div>

hearts, we live in faith according to the just and peaceful reign of Christ in
which we will live for eternity. We are ambassadors of this coming kingdom and
its King, living on this broken earth as hands of healing, as God works life in
her from the inside out until his return.</span></span></div>

For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.
For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him
who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its
bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of
God. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains
of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have
the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption
as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. Now hope
that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for
what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Jesus'
life was entirely alien to the ways of the world. The culture of the Kingdom of
God is alien to the spirit of violent, selfish empire. Followers of Jesus are
called to live differently than those around them, ministering life even in the
midst of darkness. 1 Peter 2:1-12 describes an alien people, a strange people,
a set-apart people sent into the world as ambassadors of the good news of a new
order, a new kingdom to come, and a completely different kind of King that has
turned the whole corrupt world upside down.</span>

literally talking about extraterrestrial life. He is talking about an alien

aliens and the gospel. You can read some of my own conclusions from that

Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which

translations it uses the word "exile". In one, it calls us,

both imply people who are the victims of, or, at best, the survivors of, some
tragedy. I don't believe 1 Peter intends any such connotation. In this passage,
we are not acted upon by our circumstances. On the contrary, we are active.
Another translation uses the word "sojourner". I like that. But my
favourite translation is the one found here in the New American Standard:

they remind me of Christians because we, like them, are carrying an incredibly
dangerous living agent of change within us. To come in contact with the Divine

tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. 15 Then when lust
has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings
forth death.</span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The spider, like most, spins a fairly standard spiral-shaped web to catch its
prey. However, when stung by its wasp nemesis and paralyzed, its parasitic
enemy lays its egg in the spider’s body, setting into motion a major change in
the spider’s most basic behaviour.<br />

On the first few nights of the growth of the wasp spawn, the spider continues
to spin webs, and catch and eat insects as usual. But after only a few days,
something very strange happens. Instead of the spider’s usual routine awakening
just before dawn to spin its regular web, she wakes up much earlier, and builds
an entirely different structure:<br />

</tbody></table>
The seed of the wasp has taken over the spider’s mind. Soon after this strange
new abomination has been erected, the new wasp bursts forth, killing its host,
and matures within a cocoon hanging from the centre of the ideal shelter it has
built for itself using the castoff body of our poor fallen hero.<br />
<br />
Sometimes nature is even more terrifying than some of our best horror fiction.<br />

James’ description of sin and death is much like this relationship of the
spider to the wasp. For days, that spider awakens and continues making her web
like usual, as though nothing is wrong, though death itself is growing in and
on her. No matter how this spider tries to act otherwise, because of the accursed
sting, she will eventually be the builder of her own murderer’s home. To live,
she needs the death within her to be surgically removed. <br />
<br />
Our resistance to the lust of the flesh in 1 Peter will be utterly futile if it
does not follow the miraculous intervention of God in our lives to remove our
sin from within us, the iniquity from which comes our sin that will eventually
lead to our death. Only be death may we be made free from this curse. By our
faith in the death of Jesus upon the Roman cross, this sin within us, the seed
of our wasp, is crucified along with him. If we die with him, we are also resurrected
on the other side of the grave with Jesus, and given the power of God in our
very being to resist sin and live for life from that day forward.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

a Bethlehemite, was a shepherd of the tribe of Judah. In the days of Israel's
first rebel king, Saul, the prophet Samuel came secretly to Jesse's house. He
told the humble shepherd that God had sent him with good news. From his family
would come a new king. Samuel had come to anoint one of Jesse's sons as this
next shepherd of the nation <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(1 Samuel 16).</i></span></span></div>

Jesse's youngest and most humble son, was anointed king that day. Years later,

the wilderness <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(1 Samuel 20-30)</i> in

finally take the throne of Israel <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(2

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">David
would go on to become Israel's ideal king, called precious to God's own heart
in the Hebrew scripture <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(1 Sam. 13:14; also
Acts 13:22).</i> In his reign, the prophecy of Judah's line of kings would be
renewed and expanded to David. God promised David that the kingdom established
in him will never end, that an heir of David, of Judah's tribe, would always
sit on the throne of Israel <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(2 Samuel 7).</i>
During the reign of David, Israel prospered, and experienced their first time
of true rest from war or wandering since they had left Egypt .</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">However,
though ideal in the eyes of the nation, even David failed to be the wise and
just king God had called him to be. Once established in his power, David
arrogantly claimed the authority God had graciously given him when he was a meek
shepherd boy as his own, as though by his own strength he had earned it. For
David's rebellious and foolish entitlement, God judged the nation. Before the
judgment was complete, on the hill of Abraham's sacrifice of his son David
repented, pleading with God to let the curse for his sin fall on him alone, and
to spare the nation. For David's humility, the curse is lifted, and even David
is spared <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(2 Samuel 24).</i> Though he
frequently failed, it is in this humble and willing repentance that David most
pleased God.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The
hand of God's judgment would not be held back forever. Each king after David
would repeat his acts of arrogance, each generation building upon the hubris of
their fathers <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(1 Kings).</i> There would
be times of repentance, but no king after David would ever come even as close
to the heart of God as David had, though even David himself had been a failure.
Isaiah preaches in a day of utter apostasy. The judgment that was stayed in the
time of David will now return. The nation of Israel, God's garden of love and
justice in the world, will be razed to the ground, leaving only a seed of a
hope of renewal <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Isaiah 10).</i> Even the
line of kings, God's precious promise to the people of God, will be cut down to
the roots, to even before the time of the most precious King David. God is
starting over.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hundreds
of years later a child was born to descendants of the tribe of Judah, in
Bethlehem, the city of David. The child was named Jesus. News of his arrival
was as humble as the quiet anointing of King David. The first to greet the new
king were shepherds called in by angels telling the good news, as David had
been called in from the sheep by Samuel the priest <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Luke 2:8-20). </i>Like Israel twice before him in both their
wilderness wanderings and their exile, and like King David during his flight
from Saul, Jesus would also be taken into the desert and tested <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Luke 4:1-13).</i> As Israel had been cut
down by God and destroyed by the empires surrounding her, Jesus would also be
killed at the hands of the empire of his day <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Luke 23)</i>. Yet while Israel was punished for her rebellion, this
king had never transgressed a single law <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Luke
23:4, 14).</i> And, like the nation Israel was before him, Jesus was also
raised to new life by the hand of God <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Luke
24).</i></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">By
his willing fulfillment of all of Israel's law and history, Jesus became the
substitution for any and all who would from then on be added to the family of
God. Though we rebel as Israel did, we need not ever be cut down. Christ, into
whose branch we may now all be grafted <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(John
15),</i> has been cut down in our place <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(2
Corinthians 5:21).</i> In this was the full nature of God manifest. Our Just
King did not forgive our corruption by looking over it, but by fully satisfying
the debt incurred by our wrongdoing. The death of Israel because of the
rebellion of the kings became his. At his resurrection he became the new and
final King, the firstborn of a new humanity <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Colossians
1:18; Revelation 1:5</i>), a merciful and loving God by whom all may be brought
back to justice.</span></span></div>

many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in
these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of
all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the
glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe
by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at
the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels
as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.</span></span></div>

things were made through him <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(John 1:1-4;
Ephesians 1).</i> His rule began after his payment for sin on the cross <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Hebrews 1:3).</i> His reign is eternal, the
fulfillment of the eternal kingdom promised to David. All else is subject to
change.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The
law of God that Israel followed laid a foundation for a just and equitable
society, one that would care for the most vulnerable and be marked by freedom
and compassion for those who would otherwise be at risk of being marginalized.
At the centre of their law was the first and most foundational commandment,
that they have only one God, and that they are called to love their God with
their whole being <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Deuteronomy 6:4-5).</i>
This law is the Hebrew Shema, the law upon which all other laws rest. The first
four of the Ten Commandments repeat the law that the nation may never follow
idols of their own design like the nations around them, but the Creator in
whose image they were made. The last six of the commandments reveal how they
will express their love for God, by living together in loving and just
community. Leviticus 19:18 says most explicitly, "you shall love your
neighbour as yourself: I am the LORD." Christians will recognize this
passage as the golden rule as taught by Jesus, when he paired it with the
Hebrew Shema.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">And one of the
scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he
answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of
all?” Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our
God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The
second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ There is no other
commandment greater than these.” And the scribe said to him, “You are right,
Teacher. You have truly said that he is one, and there is no other besides him.
And to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all
the strength, and to love one's neighbour as oneself, is much more than all
whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” And when Jesus saw that he answered
wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Jesus
was agreeing with his contemporaries when he interpreted the Law this way.

by referring to this same passage.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The
law was clear. The manifestation of the community's love for God will be
manifest in their love for each other. When we cease to honour God as God <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Romans 1:21-23),</i> we will stop loving
our neighbour as ourselves as well. This is exactly what had happened to the
nation under the kings. Idolatry was introduced, and not long after this the
nation was oppressing the poor and ignoring the needs of the vulnerable among
them.</span></span></div>

is the same for us. When we acknowledge God as our king and provider, than we
are enabled to be generous. We worship a generous God. But if we, like Israel
under its corrupt kings, or the empires that they wished to be like, believe
that by our own efforts or merit we have earned our privileges, we become gods
in our own world, and the only judge and authority that may secure whatever
wealth or power we have.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It's
an ironic twist that binds those who most desire freedom. In the arms of a
loving Heavenly Father, we are free to give and love from the endless supply of
the God who has everything we'll ever need. When we refuse to acknowledge
anyone but ourselves and our own effort as the source of our wealth or comfort,
we will be forever bound by the fear of losing it, ever protective of all we
have, always suspicious that others may try to take it away. This is not
liberty. This is a prison.</span></span></div>

the empire may have victory against them.</span></span></div>

Isaiah's condemns Israel for the ultimate evidence of their transgression
against God. Their kings and administrators, arrogant and corrupt, are writing
laws that prefer the wealthy over the vulnerable. These new laws are the exact
opposite of the Torah they received with Moses in the desert when they were
still a generation that remembered their own slavery. Now they write their own
law, and by it they enslave others.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This
is the same great sin that marks all of us. Like Adam and Eve, we eat the fruit
of the tree, demanding that we be the ones who decide good and evil in our own
lives. We write our own policies. We make our own decrees. Kings in our own
world, we may now make the world in our own image, damn the consequences to
others.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As
children of God, our responsibility to the poor and vulnerable is not a matter
of personal charity. One cannot love a neighbour as themselves by writing a
cheque. Such love can only be true in relationships of equality and
reciprocity. The law of God leads not to individual acts of charity, but lives
of radical solidarity. True justice rises above the individual's willingness to
give, and is to be manifest in a community of mutual aid, whose very law
reflects the radical generosity of the individuals within it.</span></span></div>

themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through
those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven,

the people in the wilderness even before they entered the Promised Land that
they would rebel. But he also said that God would give them a redeemer that
would set them free again, bring them into the new Promised Land. “The Lord
your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your
brothers—it is to him you shall listen” Moses says in Deuteronomy 18:15. And
this was fulfilled in Joshua, who shares his name with Jesus in the original
language. But just as Moses said, the people rebelled, and were scattered into
exile. Under the authority of Assyria, and Babylon, and Persia, and Rome, the
people asked, “Where is this prophet that will come, the one like Moses, who
will set us free?”<br />
<br />
Just as in the days of Moses, Jesus was born as many children were being
destroyed by the King. Like Moses, he was kept safe in Egypt. Like Moses, whose
face shone for being in God’s presence, Jesus would be the very presence of god
among his people. Like Moses, miracles would follow him. He is the new Moses,
the new Joshua, our deliverer from slavery.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">After
willingly accepting the call to carry God’s message of salvation to the people
of God, Isaiah is deeply burdened with the sad news of the destruction of
Israel and Judah, and the scattering of the survivors into exile into Syria and
Assyria, the nations of the North.<br />
<br />
The northernmost region of Israel is Galilee, a rural area far from the
cultural centre and political capitals of the nations. It is humble Galilee
that will be the first to fall to the invading armies, her people slaughtered
or taken into slavery, her land given to the families of the foreign settlers.<br />
<br />
Soon after, all of Israel would fall. Judah would follow. The temple would be
destroyed. The line of kings after David, the kingdom God promised would never
end, would be taken, and with it would Israel’s hope for their coming
Messiah-king, Son of David, die with it.<br />
<br />
As always in the midst of the promise of judgment, God gives Isaiah a message
of great hope, salvation for Israel and the whole world, but especially for the
precious little scarred and broken region of Galilee.</span></span></div>

has good news for Galilee. She is not forgotten. On the contrary, It is in this
place of Israel’s oldest and deepest wound, among a people most long lost and
forgotten, that God will first shed the light of love and restoration. Galilee,
small and forgotten, on the edge of the nation and vulnerable, a child among
her people, will be the beginning of the planting of the new garden of God for
restoration of all the scattered of God’s people over the earth.</span></span></div>

there has been deep sadness, there will be joy. Where the people have been most

later, Isaiah’s prophecy would come to pass. A few generations after her
destruction, the children of Galilee would return to their battle-scarred land.
What was once an obscure land on the edge of Israel, populated by people from
many nations outside of the Jewish tradition would now be doubly so. Galilee
had been settled by people from Syria and Assyria and Persia and from the many
other lands that those nations had conquered. But they were home. Back in their
own land, they would rebuild their community with whom they now shared it,
their nation multiplied to now include families from all over the earth.<br />
<br />
Into obscure little corner of the nation, broken and restored, would God plant
the light of humanity that would shine in the darkness, and the darkness would
never overcome it.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">God’s
promise to David will be fulfilled. The king will be established again. But the
Son of David will not arrive first in Jerusalem, the capital of the nation,
or<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in Judah, the namesake of his tribe. A
king will be born for Galilee of the nations on the very edge of God’s Promised
Land.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">How
beautiful that God would send a son to be brought up in a multiethnic
neighbourhood among a simple people. Young Jesus grew up among neighbours who
knew languages from all over the world. In his local synagogue, the gathering
place for the community, he likely saw faces of all complexions, and
experienced the difficult but rewarding reality of building community among a
diverse people. <br />
<br />
The gospels and history books tell us that Galileans had a unique accent.
Perhaps it was a special blend of the whole world who called itself Galilee.
Religious purists would mock the disciples for their accent, assuming they were
backward and uneducated because of their humble origins. However, Galilee was
more than good enough for the God of the universe. In Galilee, Jesus was able
to learn and carry the face and history of not just his own family, but the
world’s, the world into which he’d been sent. Jesus was fully human, for all
humanity.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The
hope of God's salvation is for all people, everywhere. Galilee, the land of the
Gentiles, of all the nations, will be blessed. No longer will only one people
know and follow God. God will inhabit all nations, and by God will all nations
be blessed. Violence will be destroyed and oppression will cease because of the
justice and righteousness of the King of kings who fills all in all. Light will
shine on all people, and the voices of all will be raised in joy.</span></span></div>

And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom,
he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. And the

the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The
Galileans, first to be attacked and destroyed by the armies of the North, were
the first to hear the glorious announcement of Jesus’ Jubilee. As Isaiah had
predicted hundreds of years before, in this man, the Son of David, would God
plant the New Kingdom of God in the earth. The scepters and rods and yokes
would be removed. The captives would be set free. The blind who had lived in
darkness would recover their sight and witness a great light.<br />
<br />
This would be only the beginning. The Kingdom had come and the new order would
be established. The prophets had spoken of this day, when a rock cut by the
hand of God would tumble into and destroy the idol of the violent empires of
the earth.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">He told them

would spread over the land of the crumbling empire. As impossible as it would
be to remove the yeast from a rising dough, so also will this kingdom of love
and justice and freedom spread through the former slaves and slaveowners of the
world, until the empires of violence and hate are but distant memory.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">King
Ahaz is afraid. The nation is split in two. From his throne in Judah, he has
watched his sister nation form an alliance with their neighbour, Syria, and
knows that the day will come that they join their military strength against
Judah and attack. In this desperate situation, Ahaz is now considering his own
alliance with the even stronger nation of Assyria for protection. The prophet
Isaiah brought him a word from God that he need not fear Syria or Israel, but
instead to just wait and trust God to deliver Judah from both <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://pirate-pastor.blogspot.ca/2014/06/isaiah-7-his-name-is-immanuel-god-with.html">(see Isaiah 7)</a>.</i> If Ahaz will trust God,
Isaiah tells him that by the growing violent nation of Assyria, God will
deliver Judah from Israel and Syria. Before Ahaz now lies the decision to
either trust the power of Assyria, whose military strength can be seen, or the
greater sovereign authority of Isaiah’s God, whose power he does not yet see.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hundreds
of years before, on the banks of the Red Sea, the people of Israel had cried
out in fear when they saw the approaching Egyptian army. God, through Moses,
told them to only be silent, and they would see God fight for them <i>(Exodus 14:14)</i>. They stood
and watched as the presence of God in the form of a cloud of smoke came between
them and the advancing army. Moses led them through the Red Sea, and they
watched as the army behind them were drowned. Ahaz has forgotten this God. In
the midst of imminent military threat, he prefers to turn to the might of the
empire rather than the Almighty God.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Ahaz
and the nation of Judah will be ruled by that which Ahaz coveted, destroyed by
that which he fears. Had he feared God, the corruption in his government that
had led to idolatry and even child sacrifice, would have been destroyed. Had he
coveted God’s righteousness, his kingdom would have returned to the Torah law,
and once again be ruled by justice and compassion. Instead, God promises that by
Assyria, the kingdom of Judah will be scattered, and the line of the kings of
David will end.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Isaiah’s
final word on the fate of Ahaz king of Judah is a judgment, but not without
hope. The judgment of Egypt at the Red Sea was inevitable once ordained by the
Sovereign God that fought for God’s people as they remained silent. Judah now
faces this same inevitability though they may plan and prepare and fight. God
is with them. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://pirate-pastor.blogspot.ca/2014/06/isaiah-7-his-name-is-immanuel-god-with.html">“God-with-us”, the theme of the first twelve chapters of Isaiah’s book, most recently arose in Isaiah 7.</a> Only a few verses before <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Isaiah 7:14), </i>Isaiah prophesied to Ahaz that Syria and Israel
would fall in the time a child would be born and grown up. This child would be
named “Immanuel”, which means “God-with-us”. This same God-With-Us is the one
who promised that David would always have a son on the throne, and that Judah
would have a king whose reign would never end. <br />
<br />
God is with them. God is with them through the time of judgment. God is with
them in their exile. God is with them as they are restored back to their land. <br />
<br />
Hundreds of years later, they would actually see and know their forever king,
Jesus, the Son of David, the true King of the tribe of Judah. Jesus, Immanuel,
God with us. By the same humble trust of silent Israel by the Red Sea would all
humanity be saved in quietly trusting in Jesus.</span></span></div>

will judge the unjust, but those who fall upon God's mercy will be spared. This
humility is impossible for the proud. By their offense at it are they
condemned. God has offered salvation from the corruption of the power and
control and violence of empire, that which Ahaz so desired, and by which he was
destroyed. Our same selfishness and hedonism and self-reliance at the expense
of humble trust and surrender to God will just as surely destroy us. The grace
of God’s salvation is received in being silent at the shore of the Red Sea. We
have no sword to raise. We have no power to threaten. Standing on God in faith,
we will watch as his presence in Immanuel, God-With-Us, steps between us and
the coming judgment for our sin. By grace, he walks with us through the Red Sea
of his death, in which the armies of our corruption will drown, and then
carries us back up onto the shore on the side of the Promised Land by his
resurrection

say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it,
that is, a righteousness that is by faith; but that Israel who pursued a law
that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law. Why?
Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They
have stumbled over the stumbling stone, as it is written,</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">If
our fear is in that which we see, the vain imaginings of the power of the world’s
empires, we will seek that same strength and power for ourselves, and try to be
saved by it. This foolish arrogance is our alliance with Assyria, the very
empire we fear. If our faith is in the strength of empire, by no word or deed
will we escape the rock who will fall on us. In our humility and surrender to
fall in faith on the rock of Jesus Christ, the only True King, we will be saved.
In this act is the fear of God. Jesus is an offense to the proud, and freedom to
the humble. <br />
<br />
Immanuel. God-is-with-us.</span></span></div>

this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be
yours searched and enquired carefully, enquiring what person or time the Spirit
of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and
the subsequent glories. It was revealed to them that they were serving not
themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through
those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven,

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This is
the story of the grace of salvation through Jesus Christ. God created us in
love for his glory and for our joy. We were made in the image of God to glorify
God in all we do, especially by loving God, seen in our lives by our love for
each other. However, every one of us has fallen short of this glory. By
demanding our autonomy and seeking the right to judge ourselves we’ve traded
the glory of God for a false glory of self and Creation rather than the
Creator. The Bible calls this failure to glorify God, sin. Because of our sin,
every one of us deserves to be separated eternally from the God we have
willingly abandoned. Instead, God offers us a free gift of grace, by which we
may be rescued from our death penalty and returned to our original purpose. He
accomplished this by sending Jesus Christ, the Son of God, to the fallen,
wicked world he dearly loved, not with a message of condemnation, but an open
invitation to be saved from our own corruption. Jesus, both God and human,
lived a perfect, God-glorifying life, as God had always intended for humanity,
and then willingly went to his death so that all of us, no matter how sinful or
far from God, may have our debt paid for us. Jesus, who never sinned, took the
curse of our sin for us once for all, and offers us his eternal life with God
in return. When we receive this gift of grace through faith in Jesus our old
life, corrupted by sin, dies on the cross, and we are given Jesus’ resurrection
life in return. By his grace we are then given the power to live for the glory
of God from that point onward and for all eternity, in love, satisfaction, and
joy.</span></span></div>

gatherings of his disciples the prophecies found in the Hebrew Scripture that
were about him. Once, in Luke 14:25-27, he is walking with two people on the
road who do not recognize him, and he shares from the Torah and prophets about
himself. Later, he appears to his closest disciples and illuminates the
passages for them.</span></span></div>

he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with
you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and
the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the
Scriptures, 46 and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should
suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, 47 and that repentance and
forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning

God’s grace for us is more than a theology to understand, or a sermon to
preach. The gift of God’s grace is in the person, Jesus Christ. In the
beginning was the Word, Jesus, and as many as received him, God gave the right
to become children of God <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(John 1).</i>
We receive and know, and are known by, Jesus of Nazareth, the Suffering
Servant, the Messiah, the King of kings, our Saviour.<br />

It is for Jesus that people waited and yearned and looked and hoped. The last
passage of their scripture gave them a hint of what they would see when the

book of Isaiah is the first of the prophetic books in the Hebrew Scripture,
what Christians commonly call the Old Testament. It starts a part of the Bible with
which many Christians are far less familiar. I discovered myself when I recently
finished the Old Testament. I’d been reading for a few months, beginning in Genesis.
By the time I reached Ezekiel, the fourth prophetic book after Isaiah,
Jeremiah, and Lamentations, I realized how unfamiliar I was with so much of
what I was reading compared to the New Testament, Genesis, and maybe the Psalms.
So, I decided to read from Ezekiel to the end in a week to try and get the big
picture all at once. The big picture I saw, was Jesus.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Isaiah
is an amazing book, more often quoted directly in the New Testament than any
other book of the Hebrew Scripture other than the Psalms. It was written and
compiled during the time of the Kings in Israel. In the books of the Kings and
Chronicles, we see a story of corruption overtaking the nation of Israel, as
the nation turns from God to idolatry, and from there to injustice and
oppression against the poor and vulnerable, contrary to their own law that
demanded justice. The kings of Israel covet the power and wealth of the empires
surrounding them, and build armies and do violence and prepare for war, rather
than being a blessing to the nations of the earth, for which purpose God has
told them they were originally called from Egypt and made a nation. For this
corruption and violence and injustice, Isaiah prophesies that the nation will
suffer violence by the empires they so wished to become, and be forced into
exile. But then he also prophesies of God’s salvation for them, the miraculous
resurrection of a defeated nation arising from their scattering over the earth,
returning to their home, and being reestablished with their temple and covenant
and mandate for justice under the blessing of God.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This is
the story of Jesus. God sent his son to the world he loved, so that the
scattered exiles, God’s people in all the nations of the world, would be drawn
together and come to him. For our sin, our corruption, our wicked coveting of
the shiny distractions of the violent world instead of God, we deserved to be
delivered to their violence. Instead, Jesus was the one broken by the
wickedness of humankind, and buried in the earth. Jesus became God’s people for
God’s people, taking the punishment of exile from God’s presence in our place.
But like Israel, the broken and defeated nation, he was miraculously
resurrected. Jesus became God’s place, his body God’s temple in which the
fullness of God could now dwell, and from the entire world the scattered people
of God now come to Jesus and dwell in him.</span></span></div>

glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I
will glorify it again.” The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it
had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” Jesus answered, “This
voice has come for your sake, not mine. Now is the judgement of this world; now
will the ruler of this world be cast out. And I, when I am lifted up from the
earth, will draw all people to myself.” He said this to show by what kind of
death he was going to die. So the crowd answered him, “We have heard from the
Law that the Christ remains for ever. How can you say that the Son of Man must
be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Isaiah
prophesies that the Messiah will come as a child, to the land of Galilee of the
nations. It’s very significant that Jesus was called a Galilean. He didn’t
identify with the centre of the nation’s culture. Galilee was right on the edge
of Israel, a rural community in the North known as “Galilee of the Gentiles”,
and not in a nice way. Isaiah calls it “Galilee of the nations”. Jesus grew up
in a multiethnic neighbourhood, shining light among a people who didn’t know
the beginning of a Torah from the end of it. Jesus became God’s people manifest
in a single man, a blessing to all the nations of the earth as God originally
mandated for Israel, his kingdom of priests.<br />
<br />
Isaiah says that he will be born as a child, a human, a son of man. But then he
says this man will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting
Father, Prince of Peace. Jesus is God. Jesus, the child, is the Everlasting
Father, the Prince of Peace. His became the story of violent exile and death.
Ours becomes his story of resurrection. He becomes our King, different than any
other king on earth, one who would become a baby, a servant, falsely accused as
a criminal, our Saviour.<br />
<br />
The exile is not the only story of death and resurrection in the Hebrew
Scripture. Before they were a nation, Israel was in slavery in Egypt. By God’s
hand, he brought them out. When they were pursued by the Egyptian army, God
told them to only be silent, and God would fight for them <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Exodus 14:14).</i> He brought them through the Red Sea, and into the
Sea their former slaveowners were destroyed.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This
was us. We were slaves to sin. Only by passing through death and being brought
back up to life could we emerge on the shores of the Red Sea free from sin,
from Satan, from death. Jesus passed through the waters of death for us. In
him, we have passed through the Red Sea. Our old life, the empire of violence
and slavery that ruled our spirits has been drowned in the waters of our baptism
into the person of Jesus Christ. We were plucked from nothingness as orphans
and slaves, and given a name, adopted into the family of God, priests of
blessing to the world, just as Israel was intended to be, just as Christ is.</span></span></div>

lived in a time of great wickedness. From the mass of humanity God put his
finger on this one man and his family, who would pass through the waters of
death in a floating coffin, until the entire world would be made alive again
around them under the covenant of the God of the rainbow. Jesus is our ark, in
whom we rest in death, and emerge from the tomb into a new world made alive by
the seed of the son of God planted in our midst.<br />
<br />
In the beginning God made the heavens and the earth. And the earth was without
form and void. It was useless. It was a mass of purposeless waste. By God’s
word it was made alive with God’s purpose for fruitfulness and life. Into the
garden of new life God placed his priests to the world, ambassadors of his
image and nature to Creation. We were that void, cast blindly in the mass of
humanity, without direction, unable to see. By God’s word, the Word made flesh,
we were called out from the void, called out of wicked humanity, called out
from slavery in Egypt, called out from the wilderness, called out from exile,
called out from death itself, and given God’s purpose, given true life,
according to God’s word. <br />
<br />
For us, Jesus entered the void. From the grave, he grabbed our wrists, and
pulled us into light, and gave us authority to speak the words of God, to name
Creation, to introduce the world to Jesus.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

God created us in love for his glory <i>(Isaiah
43:6-7)</i> and for our joy <i>(Psalm
16:11).</i> We were made in the image of God <i>(Genesis 1:26-27)</i> to glorify God in all we do <i>(1 Corinthians 10:31)</i>, especially by loving God <i>(Matthew 22:37)</i>, seen in our lives by
our love for each other <i>(John 15:12).</i>
However, every one of us has fallen short of this glory <i>(Romans 3:23).</i> By demanding our autonomy and seeking the right to
judge ourselves we’ve traded the glory of God for a false glory of self and
Creation rather than the Creator <i>(Romans
1:21-23).</i> The Bible calls this failure to glorify God, sin. Because of our
sin, every one of us deserves to be separated eternally from the God we have
willingly abandoned <i>(Romans 6:23).</i>
Instead, God offers us a free gift of grace, by which we may be rescued from
our death penalty and returned to our original purpose <i>(Ephesians 2:8-10).</i> He accomplished this by sending Jesus Christ,
the Son of God, to the fallen, wicked world he dearly loved, not with a message
of condemnation, but an open invitation to be saved from our own corruption <i>(John 3:16-17).</i> Jesus, both God and
human, lived a perfect, God-glorifying life, as God had always intended for
humanity, and then willingly went to his death so that all of us, no matter how
sinful or far from God, may have our debt paid for us <i>(1 Peter 3:18).</i> Jesus, who never sinned, took the curse of our sin
for us once for all, and offers us his eternal life with God in return <i>(Galatians 3:13). </i>When we receive this
gift of grace through faith in Jesus our old life, corrupted by sin, dies on
the cross, and we are given Jesus’ resurrection life in return <i>(Galatians 2:20).</i> By his grace we are
then given the power to live for the glory of God from that point onward and
for all eternity, in love, satisfaction, and joy.</span></span></span></div>

and an encouragement. God will establish the throne of the Son of David
forever.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Therefore the
Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a
son, and shall call his name Immanuel.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The
King of Judah has heard news that their brother nation, Israel, has made an
alliance with their enemies to come and attack them.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Isaiah
brings the king a word from God. Their enemies intend to destroy them, but God
promises Divine protection. The promise is sealed with a sign. In the time it
takes for an unwed woman to get married and have a child, and before that child
is old enough to know good and evil (when he becomes a man, at twelve), God
will rescue Judah from the violence of their enemies. Syria and Israel will be
themselves destroyed. The child's name will be "Immanuel", which
means "God is with us".</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The
promise of deliverance from these enemy nations would be fulfilled. Only a few
years later, Judah would see Israel attacked and the survivors scattered.
However, not long after that, Judah herself would also be overtaken by another
nation, and her people scattered. The line of the kings of Judah will end, and
the period of the exile of God's people will begin.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In
their exile, God will remember all of God's promises of deliverance since the
time of Abraham. They will look earnestly for the coming of their promised
Messiah, a new King of Judah, of the line of David, whose kingdom will never
end.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">God's
promise of salvation remained with Israel until Jesus was born to the house of
David, born of a virgin, named Mary. He was not only named Immanuel, but was
Immanuel, the presence of God among them. This forever King would take upon
himself all of the violence of the colonizing empire that occupied their land.
By the mercy of God would all fear of violence and corruption and death be
destroyed from among God's people, and the true King of Judah restored to sit
on his throne forever.</span></span></div>

lived in a time of great political and social corruption, and now another king
has died and a child has taken his throne. This child-king would become one of
the most violent and hedonistic of a long line of oppressive kings in Judah and
Israel. Before this line of kings, Israel had been ruled by God alone, by the
Torah law that defined for them a radically just, compassionate, and equal
society. But the people had not been satisfied. In 1 Samuel 8 they demand that
God gives them a king, so that they may be strong and wealthy like the nations
around them. The prophet tells them that by their request they have rejected
God as their king. He warns them that in God’s place, a human king will be
cruel, violent, and selfish. Upon their insistence, God grants them a human
king. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Exactly
as predicted, the line of kings slowly destroy the nation as each generation of
royalty seeks their own immediate comforts over the welfare of the nation.
Against the Torah law they oppress the orphan, the widow, and the foreigner.
They cease to be a nation of priests, shining the light of God’s justice in the
world. They are uprooted, and dying of thirst for the life of God.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The
king Isaiah was seeing on the throne was Jesus. In the twelfth chapter of
John’s gospel, he quotes this chapter in Isaiah, saying that it was Jesus’
glory he had seen, and it was Jesus of whom he wrote. Just as it says in this
chapter, many in John’s day refused to believe that Jesus was the powerful king
revealed in Isaiah. Like the kings in Isaiah’s day, even if they did recognize
Jesus as king, they wouldn’t say so because <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(John
12:43) </i>“they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that
comes from God.” Such is the corruption of power, whether political or
religious. The only place in which we have any true authority is on our face
before the King of kings. Before the holy one, covered in worship by warriors
of light, by whose glory the very ground beneath him shook, Isaiah fell flat in
contrition and humility.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: .5in; margin-top: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Isaiah 6:5
(ESVUK)<br />
And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I
dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King,
the Lord of hosts!”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We
know from the first five chapters of his book that Isaiah is very aware of the
uncleanness of the nation. However, in the presence of the Almighty, Isaiah
does not judge the nation as someone above them or in a place of power over
them. Isaiah identifies as one of them. He has seen the nation's wickedness,
and now he's seen God's holiness. He identifies himself with the wickedness of
the nation, not the holiness of God.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The
first time the fisherman Simon Peter encounters Jesus in the book of Luke, he
comes to recognize quickly that he is in the presence of a holy man when by
Jesus’ power he miraculously gathers in an enormous catch of fish <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Luke 5:1-8).</i> When he sees the nets
breaking and the boats beginning to sink under the weight of the catch, “he
fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O
Lord.”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We
do not become aware of our need for salvation by considering our sin, but in an
encounter with God's holiness.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Isaiah
may have compared himself to the nation, and felt good about himself. But in
the presence of God, he knew he was sinful and corrupted. In God’s presence, Isaiah
did not even ask to be saved from his sin. He only cried out in woeful sadness
for his own sin. God's preparation for Isaiah to be his prophet to the nation
is to make him broken in the presence of his holiness.</span></span></div>

train of the robe of the king filled the temple. God is all sufficient and all
filling, like the train of his robe. The smoke fills the temple. God is first <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Exodus 20:3). </i>From God and through God
and for God are all things <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Romans

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Before
God the six-winged seraphim are reverent. Of all of God’s attributes, it is
holiness that they cry out, to the power of three, the holiest of holy in the
Hebrew tradition. They cover their face to not even look at God as they
worship. As the angels cover their feet with their wings they hide all of
themself lest their own glory in the presence of God. They are flaming,
beautiful, inter-dimensional beings that do not want anyone to be distracted a
moment from the beauty and glory of God. With their last two wings they fly,
prepared in a moment to go and do whatever the king wills. They are servants of
the Holy One.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As
a minister and church planter and activist, I am often challenged to remember
not to do anything I do for my own glory or in my own strength. It's not about
us. John the Baptist pointed to Jesus in this spirit, saying Jesus must
increase, and he must decrease. His life pointed outward, away from himself,
toward the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. We ought never do
what we do solely to build our own ministry or glorify ourselves. We ought to
cover our feet and let all we do point to Jesus alone. We are not building
brands. We are not building churches. We are participating in the growing kingdom
in which we are but a small and humble part.</span></span></div>

the presence of God’s majesty.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We
go by the word and power of God. We go because we are sent. The authority of
God empowers us to obey the call and fulfill the mission, not our own ability
or hubris. We are saved for a purpose, for a call <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Ephesians 2:8-10). </i>We are ambassadors for the Kingdom of God. We
are saved for God, not for ourselves. When we are confronted with the awesome
presence of a glorious and holy God, and given the grace and mercy to do so, we
will want to respond with a willingness to do any and all that is asked of us.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">When
confronted by the corrupt and rebellious authorities for preaching about the
resurrection of Jesus, the same fisherman Peter who had fallen on his face
before Jesus refuses to obey, saying to them <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Acts 4:19-20)</i> "We cannot help but speak of what we have seen
and heard." </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Isaiah
will face similar resistance when he preaches the warnings of God to the
corrupt kings and rulers of God’s people. Like the leaders who arrested Peter,
these authorities will be blinded for their love of the glory of their wealth
and power over their love for the glory of God. In the presence of God, Isaiah
has had this corruption burned out from within him by God’s very power. He may
now go and witness to the people in darkness of the great light of True
Sovereign Justice he has seen.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">God created us in
love for his glory and for our joy. We were made in the image of God to glorify
God in all we do, especially by loving God, seen in our lives by our love for
each other. However, every one of us has fallen short of this glory. By
demanding our autonomy and seeking the right to judge ourselves we’ve traded
the glory of God for a false glory of self and Creation rather than the
Creator. The Bible calls this failure to glorify God, sin. Because of our sin,
every one of us deserves to be separated eternally from the God we have
willingly abandoned. Instead, God offers us a free gift of grace, by which we
may be rescued from our death penalty and returned to our original purpose. He
accomplished this by sending Jesus Christ, the Son of God, to the fallen,
wicked world he dearly loved, not with a message of condemnation, but an open
invitation to be saved from our own corruption. Jesus, both God and human,
lived a perfect, God-glorifying life, as God had always intended for humanity,
and then willingly went to his death so that all of us, no matter how sinful or
far from God, may have our debt paid for us. Jesus, who never sinned, took the
curse of our sin for us once for all, and offers us his eternal life with God
in return. When we receive this gift of grace through faith in Jesus our old
life, corrupted by sin, dies on the cross, and we are given Jesus’ resurrection
life in return. By his grace we are then given the power to live for the glory
of God from that point onward and for all eternity, in love, satisfaction, and
joy.</span></span></div>

builders of the world's systems of corruption and control are agents of an
empire that has already come to ruin. Every one of us has helped lay a brick on
these altars to destruction. Disciples of Jesus follow the high priest who
mediates between earth and heaven. Christ has become the advocate between all
that is eternal and us, the former agents of the land of death. In this land of
decay we remain, walking among the ruins of the empires that still cling to the
vapours of control as vines climb the skeletons of their wasted structures and
tear them down. We walk on the grass and weeds growing up amidst the rubble as
witnesses to the life that is springing forth from the dead waste of the crumbling
empire.</span></span></div>

fresh, cool and green life in the garden of God, to whom every one of us has been

power and authority and be mercifully adopted into a royal family, in which all

bitterness and unforgiveness. The battle against sin and death and violence has
already been won on the cross. We do not battle against that which has already
been consumed. By our humble and willing submission to the violence and abuse

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As
Chapter Five opens, Isaiah sings a song about a vineyard, a common image for
the people of God in the prophetic books and the rest of the Hebrew Scripture
as well. In the first three chapters of the book, Isaiah has spoken with very
harsh language of the corruption and injustice in Israel, God’s covenant
people. In the fourth chapter, he introduces the hope of a coming Messiah, whom
he calls a branch, and a bright future when God will live among his people
again. Now, in this song of the vineyard, he brings the text back to the dark
present, and further illustrates God’s justification in holding his people
accountable for their corruption.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The
challenge in the passage is in the work of the gardener described in the first
two verses, compared to the result of his labour. The gardener planted the
vineyard on a fertile hill, without stones, from good vines. Still, the vines
produced wild, or sour, grapes. The fruit is useless.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The
simple question sheds light on a dark truth. If the gardener has done all he
can, and all the conditions have been right, then the problem is not with any
act upon the vines. The corruption of the fruit is a symptom of a corruption in
the vines themselves. The song continues with its expected yet devastating
conclusion.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Israel
was given a law to guide their nation in justice as ambassadors of God’s
justice in the world. In this beautiful document was an image of a profoundly
just and merciful people. They were to be an inclusive community, welcoming
strangers and judging them by the same law as the native community. They were
to provide for the poor among them, the widows and orphans. They were a
community of freedom, commanded by the law to release prisoners, cancel all
debts, and redistribute all land equally every generation. This time of freedom
was called the Year of Jubilee. By this law, no one would be able to accrue
enormous wealth at the expense of others. Each generation would be given an
equal chance at every year of Jubilee to enter community and prosper within it.
Nobody would be given an extra advantage with enormous inheritance, an inequity
that would only grow worse with each passing generation as the rich become more
powerful and the poor more vulnerable if not for this law of debt cancellation
and just redistribution of land and property.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Israel never followed the law of the Year of Jubilee. Isaiah is
calling out the landowners who are growing ever more wealthy as they buy up
more property than they could ever personally use. This is an injustice, a
symptom of the greed, selfishness, and corruption that has infected the
community.</span></span></div>

these evidences of corruption does Isaiah argue that God is fully justified in
punishing his nation by sending them into exile. In their exile, scattered
among the empires of the North, will Israel become again aware of the
sovereignty of God, and the blessing they had when living in their own land as
God’s people. In their dark time, God will shine light in their hearts, and
bring back to life that which had become dead and corrupt. Their exile will
give the land its years of Jubilee that had been robbed in every generation
that it was not celebrated. As foreigners in the the empire, they will learn
again how to live as a blessing to those outside of God’s covenant. Scattered
among foreign nations, they will become a blessing again to all people, as God had
originally intended. Upon their return to the land, they will once again be
made equal in their restored community, all set back to the order and purpose
in which God had originally planted them.</span></span></div>

song of Isaiah is still a challenge to us today. God gives us no opportunity to
excuse ourselves from our responsibility to live as agents of love, peace, and
justice in the world. If we live selfish lives of hedonism and inexcusable
affluence at the expense of others, the sour, wild fruit of our lives is
showing the rottenness that exists within us to the core. Corrupted hearts
filled with death will only ever produce corruption and death. In this
condition of sin, we do not need an outward law to guide us to justice. We need
a resurrection of our spirit.</span></span></div>

peace. Every branch attached to the new vine may now show the Spirit of the one
who grafted it in.</span></span></div>

words)</i> I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine dresser. Every branch
in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear
fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of
the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch
cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you,
unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in
me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do
nothing. If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and
withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If
you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will
be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and
so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.
Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just
as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. These things I
have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">God
is just, and the corrupt will receive their reward for their injustice. Jesus’
invitation, however, is to escape this judgment by attaching ourselves to his
true life. Jesus tells his disciples that to abide in him, to receive his life
as a grafted branch receives life from a healthy vine, is to abide in love. The
greatest love, Jesus says, is for one to lay down their very life for their
friends. In this is the heart of the good news. Jesus, the only righteous one
of the vineyard of God, gave up his life, receiving God’s judgment for the
corrupt, for us. By his death, the penalty for our injustice has been paid. By
his resurrection, his real life is now available to us, his family, if we will
only abide in his love. </span></span></div>

been made alive. We’ve been made new. The hardcore song of judgment has been
turned into a love song ballad. We, the wretched exiles, are being called home.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The
branch is a frequently used image in the book of Isaiah. A branch goes
somewhere new, but it is part of the same source, not something entirely
different. The fruit of a branch is healthy and mature because of the health of
the plant from which the branch comes. In Isaiah, the image of a vine is the
nation of Israel, the covenant people of God. The branch is the promised coming
Messiah, the King who will judge the corrupt and bring peace to the covenant
people of God. <br />
<br />
The beautiful thing about this promise of Messiah and a coming peace in this
short chapter is that it is included as part of the whole story of salvation
that Isaiah is prophesying. Though so much corruption and injustice is being
called out, and warnings of judgment are being declared, this hope for redemption
still exists in the midst of the darkness.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The
gift of the branch, Messiah, was the incarnation of eternal God in humanity. Though
God’s people had been corrupt, by the interjection of the very being of Holy God
into the family of God, all the branches of the vine could be made holy. The
good news of the branch in this chapter of Isaiah is that this salvation from
corruption was not an afterthought. God did not respond to sin with the
incarnation of Messiah, a cleanup project because of a world gone wrong. This
story of salvation is the original plan since before time.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">And if you call
on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct
yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, knowing that you were
ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with
perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of
Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. He was foreknown before
the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the
sake of you who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead
and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The
salvation offered by Jesus Christ was foreknown before the creation of the
world, before there ever was corruption or injustice. Every one of us is in
exile before receiving this salvation. Israel will be in exile by the judgments
Isaiah prophesies. We too are separated from our spiritual Father because of
our own corruption. In Ephesians, it says that we were also chosen in Christ before
the foundation of the world, to be adopted into the family of God. We may, by
faith, be grafted into the branch of God, and receive from him the source of
all goodness and life in order to live justly and love mercy and walk humbly,
as we are empowered by Jesus to do so. All of this was planned from the
beginning. Like the nation of Israel in the book of Isaiah, even in the midst
of our condemnation, the hope of our salvation is sure.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">And he who is
left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy, everyone who has
been recorded for life in Jerusalem, when the Lord shall have washed away the
filth of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodstains of Jerusalem from
its midst by a spirit of judgement and by a spirit of burning.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The
worship of the people of God could not be received for the blood in their hands
from injustice in Isaiah 1:15. God promises that because of the branch, the
blood and the filth of God’s people will be cleaned. In 1 Peter 1, it says that
it is by the blood of Christ we are ransomed from our exile. Peter describes
Jesus as being without any blemish or spot. When we are grafted into his branch,
all our guilt is washed away, and we are able to begin fresh in the power of
his life, the life of God.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Then the Lord
will create over the whole site of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud
by day, and smoke and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory
there will be a canopy. There will be a booth for shade by day from the heat,
and for a refuge and a shelter from the storm and rain.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The
chapter ends with a beautiful reminder of Israel’s experience of God’s presence
while they were in the wilderness after their liberation from Egypt. In the
book of Exodus, the people of Israel could see the presence of God among them
in the form of a pillar of smoke to give them shade during the day, and fire at
night for light and warmth. The pillar would rise and move when it was time for
the nation to move, and they would follow (e.g., Exodus 13:21-22). God's
presence was always there. It protected them. It led them. Isaiah says that
when the Messiah comes, the people of God will once again have the presence of
God among them as they did then.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The
book of Acts tells a powerful story of the coming of the presence of God in a
new way on Jesus’ followers. The disciples were all waiting together in an
upper room during the feast of Pentecost, Israel’s celebration of the giving of
God’s law at Sinai in the wilderness. It was after Jesus’ death and
resurrection. They had been told that they would soon receive a gift from God. </span></span></div>

(ESVUK)</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: .5in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">And suddenly
there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the
entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared
to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy
Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The
presence of God had come again to the people of God. This time, instead of a
single pillar before the entire community, every person in the family of God
was able to personally experience the presence of God with them. By their faith
in Jesus Christ, they were filled with the very spirit of God, grafted to the branch,
part of the family, according to God’s very nature.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Even
this is not the end of the salvation story. Isaiah describes a time when the
family of God will all be together in one place, gathered from their exile, living
together in justice and peace with the presence of God among them. The book of
Revelation agrees with this hopeful future.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Then I saw a new
heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,
and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down
out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I
heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God
is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God
himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their
eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying,
nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away.”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">And he who was
seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said,
“Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” And he said to me,
“It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the
thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. The
one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be
my son.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">By
the life of the living branch of God does the family of God in exile among the
nations live according to the justice, love, and peace of the spirit of God,
who fills them with true life. We live in hope every day for the day when the
fulfillment of God’s justice, love, and peace will be seen on earth, surrounded
by the protecting and refreshing presence of God, living among us. God will
complete the good work that began even before Creation.</span></span></div>

Christians often speak of our salvation as merely a personal and inward
miraculous phenomenon. However, the story of salvation in the Bible is much
larger than a single event in the life of an individual. Our salvation, God’s
work of grace in us, is also a journey of a lifetime as we are being saved. The
story won’t be complete until we see justice done not only in our own hearts,
but throughout the entire world.</span><br />

Peter 1:13-16 (ESV)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: .5in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Therefore,
preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on
the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As
obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former
ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in your conduct,
since it is written, 'You shall be holy, for I am holy.'</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Peter
writes to a persecuted church in exile, encouraging them to remain holy, to
continue to resist their old nature, to walk according to the salvation that
has been purchased for them. Peter is speaking about the action that follows
their faith, a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">present salvation</i>, the
life they now live in imitation of Jesus. He is describing a grace as something
that has not yet come, a future grace in which they should set their hope. It
is for this grace, a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">future salvation</i>,
that they are to prepare their minds, and be holy. Peter is writing to people
who are already believers. He is not describing a salvation by works. These
believers were already saved by grace through faith, according to God's power
at work in them, not by works or merit at all.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: .5in; margin-top: 0in;">

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">And
if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one’s
deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, knowing
that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers,
not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood
of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">So, in
one passage, Peter is speaking of the grace of God as a past, present, and
future grace. In the life of the Christian, we call this past grace our
justification, our present journey of faith our sanctification, and the future
grace for which we hope, our glorification.</span></div>

been ransomed. We belong to God, purchased from the clutches of death that
owned us by the blood of Jesus Christ. Our salvation is in Christ, completed by
God, and not us, an unalterable condition made sure by the total
incorruptibility of the price paid, Jesus' imperishable blood. We belong to
God.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: .5in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Peter,
an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who are elect exiles of the Dispersion in
Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, according to the foreknowledge
of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus
Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to
you. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his
great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is
imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s
power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in
the last time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We have
been elected, chosen by God, according to his foreknowledge and his great
mercy. This is the work of our salvation. It is entirely the merciful work of
God, not our merit or strength or action. We are saved by grace. When Peter
speaks of this salvation, he calls us "born again". God has caused us
to be born again through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. So, we are ransomed,
purchased by God through a trade of Christ's blood for our lives, and then once
given the death of Christ, we are united with him, and receive the power of his
resurrection for new life for that moment onward.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Our Sanctification</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Something
of the "futile ways inherited by (our) forefathers" remain with us
though we are saved. If Peter needs to command the believers not to "be
conformed to the passions of (our) former ignorance", then it must be
possible for us to do otherwise. Disciples of Christ are to remember that we
have been ransomed, made holy as Jesus is holy, and act accordingly, in faith,
as though we believe that it is so. This also is a gift, not a burden of works
we must carry, any more than was our initial salvation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It is
in the present that we are guarded through faith for our future salvation. We
belong to God, and as God's children we are now guarded by our Heavenly Father
until we experience the fullness of our salvation. This present, daily
salvation is called our sanctification. God has called us holy when he ransomed
us by Christ's blood. Now he is making us holy every day as we obediently pick
up our cross and follow after Jesus (v2). This is the sanctification of the
Spirit, the reason we were filled with the Spirit of God at our salvation. Our
present salvation is experienced by the gift of the Spirit in us, when we put
our faith in the past work of Christ, and the future hope held for us by our
Father in heaven (v13).<br />
<br />
The grace to follow after Jesus daily is received by faith, just as was our
initial justification. We are given the grace to resist temptation, to live
contrary to the selfish patterns of the empires of the world, and to forgive
those who have sinned against us.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">God’s
act of saving grace is a past event, but it is also a future event. We are born
again to a living hope. We hope for what we do not yet see. Our hope is for a
future inheritance. We have not yet received the fullness of our salvation. We
belong to God, but we still have an inheritance coming to us.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Our
past salvation is our ransom by Christ's blood, and the resurrection of our
beings, according to the power of God. Our future hope for salvation is the
inheritance we share because we have been united with Christ. We receive both
by grace through faith. It is for this reason that we may remain unsatisfied
with the condition of the world as it is. In our hope for Jesus’ return, and
the fullness of salvation we will receive, we also hope for the salvation of
all things, the redemption of Creation according to God’s original purpose,
that we have bent and corrupted so much by our sin.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">For
I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing
with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager
longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to
futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the
creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the
freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole
creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And
not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the
Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption
of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not
hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we
wait for it with patience.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We are
given grace to endure the suffering that comes with our daily obedience, our
sanctification as we follow after Jesus, by the hope we have that all
suffering, not just our own, will end at the return of Jesus. In that hope we
may live by the grace of God in the power of God to live out the love, freedom,
and justice of God now, declaring the gospel and ministering the freedom of the
gospel to any and all who are bound by the corruption that still remains on earth.</span></div>

theirs is vanity. Justice will remove it and expose them as nothing.</span></span></div>

Way Of Jesus is not a path only for individual spiritual salvation. The Way is
an entirely new order, by which the nations of the earth are transformed.
Violence, control and avarice are the old order. The one we call High King
demonstrated his authority by reversing it all, laying down his privileges and
power for the sake of others.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hundreds
of years before Isaiah wrote this book of hope in the midst of disaster, the
people of God were rescued from slavery out of Egypt by the hand of God. From
Mount Sinai, God gave his law to Israel, calling them a nation of priests,
called to be ambassadors to the world of the love and freedom and justice of
the God who had liberated them. God promised to give them a land, from which
they would be a light to the entire world, an example in their just community
of the just God they worshiped. God gave them the law, which described their
just society, and included in it that they should never, ever return to the
land of Egypt, or ever trade with this violent empire from which they had been
freed. God kept his promise, and in that land, Israel began to build for
themselves a beautiful city filled with great wealth.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In
Isaiah, God describes their treasure not as his blessing to them, but as
evidence of their corruption. In Isaiah 33, God says that these horses and
chariots, the war machines of ancient empire, had come from Egypt. Indeed, 1
Kings 10:28, 2 Chronicles 9:8 and 2 Chronicles 1:16 all confirm that during the
reign of King Solomon, Israel entered into trade with Egypt to build their
army. As soon as God’s people had established themselves in the land, they
forgot their liberation from Egypt, and instead turned to Egypt to make their
new nation in its image.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">At
the beginning of Isaiah, the once powerful nation of Israel finds themselves
among ruins. They have been attacked, destroyed, and scattered among the
empires of the North. Only a few remain in their own land. In the midst of this
chaos, God promises that though he has judged them for their oppression, for
seeking to become an empire rather than trusting him, he will bring them back
to their land, and redeem them for his original purpose. God’s people would be
a light of justice and love in the world again.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Jesus
fulfilled perfectly everything that the law and the temple and the sacrifices
were to represent. He carried in himself the complete history and identity of
God's covenant people. He obeyed the law of God. He became the sacrifice for
all sin by his death on the cross. He is the temple of God, in whom the
fullness of the Godhead dwells. As the perfect incarnation of perfect justice
and steadfast love, he submitted himself to the worst of the spirit of the old
order, the way of empire, going to a violent death so that all of that old way
may be consumed and die with him.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">By
Christ's exaltation, all the violence and greed of the empire has been exposed
and overturned. All that once came between humanity and God has been
transcended. All false walls between persons and people groups may now be
demolished. All are one who are united in Christ, the just judge who willingly
takes the punishment on behalf of the guilty accused. We are each set free to
walk the same path. By that freedom, the slavery of hierarchy, violence, greed,
and corruption is defeated, and the world is transformed by the seed of Christ
into the garden of God.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Cedars
of Lebanon were old and majestic trees. They took a very long time to grow, and
were examples of strength, rootedness, and ancient beauty. To bring cedars and
oaks low likely means to disrupt the nation’s feeling of stability in their own
length of days. Mountains in the Bible and especially in the prophetic books represent
authority, law, and government. High towers and walls were built around the
city for protection, and were guarded by the army. God will bring low the
military might of the nation. The nation’s trade was done by ship, and the
craft of the city is an example of some of the most valuable of the nation’s traded
goods. National pride, governmental authority and law, the military, and commerce
– everything that a nation looks to for its strength and identity – will be
brought low by God because of the corruption, injustice, and violence toward
the poor and vulnerable.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">God
is the source of all goodness and prosperity and life. God warns those who live
as though they are their own god that because of their arrogance, the presence
of God be removed from them. Without the source of life, all that the prideful
believed they had accomplished will be lost. All they believed they had gained
by their own merit will decay. Outside of the blessing of God, none can
prosper. We have nothing of our own of which we can boast. We must acknowledge
God in all things.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The
peace promised in Isaiah 2 does not come by policies and governments. It is
neither reform nor revolution. The old way is entirely dead. The kingdom will
come by the power of resurrection. It is the new humanity in the new Creation
on the new earth. The power of the resurrected Christ is the grace to live as
God’s people now, shining light in the dark, inviting all those who still live
in darkness to come home.</span></span></div>

will pound weapons into gardening tools, living in radical resistance to the
old way, planting gardens of life in beautiful communities of love all over the
ruined landscape, celebrating the living city of God as we watch it daily
overgrow the corrupt governments of the empires of the world.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">If
we continue in the outward practice of religion without seeking to right
injustice in our own communities, we do not have a religion problem. We have a
heart problem. True worship is a lifestyle, not something we just do on Sunday
morning or in their car as we listen to Christian radio. God’s people are a
called-out people. We are called to be holy, separate, other, a light in the
world of the nature and character of God. Salvation is not an individual
affair. We are called into a community of salvation by the power of God. The
evidence of our salvation is in the salvation we minister to the world, our
participation in the continuing story of salvation in which we now have a part.
We are actively seeking justice always, for our neighbours, and for the world,
even in resistance to the authorities, should they be rebels against the
justice of the True King.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The
marks of success praised by the world, riches, titles, and glory, have nothing
to do with those things that God desires. All such worldly glory is vanity, and
means nothing in eternity. On the contrary, the power and authority perverts
true justice, robbing the dignity and basic necessities of life from the poor
and weak for the sake of the comfort of the arrogant rich. Many are oppressed
so that a few may become royalty. All such riches are kindling for the flames
that shall consume the unjust rebel kings.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">None
of us have really done all we can to turn back the wheels of corruption that
grind the poor in our nation and in the world. In truth, we may hardly live a
few minutes in the privileged West before participating in some way in the
violent machine of injustice that allows us the privileged life we have. Though
we may cry out daily for the sake of the oppressed innocent, and fight
tirelessly for change, none of us may claim to be free of the systems that take
the lives of those for whom we struggle. We will not stop raising our voice.
But Isaiah also includes a welcome relief, lest we burn out in our zeal.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">God
called Israel his “firstborn son”. The first five chapters of Isaiah show us
how bad things have gotten for the people of God, how deep their rebellion and
how sinister their corruption. The Kings and the Chronicles become God’s
evidence before the court that Israel is guilty. The Law by which they made
their covenant with God clearly states their just punishment. In Isaiah, God
argues that the firstborn son of God deserves humiliation and destruction.<br />
<br />
However, even in the very beginning of the book, God offers his people a way
out. The book will go on to promise a Messiah-King, who will not only rescue
Israel from their bondage to violence and corruption, but will actually change
them from the inside out. No more will their covenant be made according to
their keeping of a law and sacrifice of innocent animals. Instead, God promised
to come and be among them as one of them. He would become their righteousness.
The law would be written on their hearts, and they would be changed from the inside
out.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Every
one of us guilty with the same sins as the corrupt nations judged by God in
scripture. We have all participated in violence, or injustice, or allowed
others to experience pain for the sake of our own comfort. Isaiah calls our sin
“scarlet”, an indelible dye that could not be removed from a fabric though it
were scrubbed to threadbare. God promises to remove from us that which we
cannot remove ourselves. God promises to take our blood soaked hands and wash
them.<br />
<br />
Jesus Christ was the only human being who could call themselves innocent of the
accusations of Isaiah. Jesus Christ, God’s own son, experienced all of the
humiliation and destruction owed by God to the people of God in his being on
the cross. He has taken our scarlet-soaked clothes, and traded them for his
own. In the rest of knowing that we may live as though we are perfectly
righteous in the eyes of God, we may now receive the power of Jesus’
resurrection in our being, so that by his power we may live this life of
justice and resistance to injustice to which we are called.<br />
<br />
The change in us will happen from the inside out. We live in hope for the day
when we can see the change manifest in all of humanity, in all of Creation,
God’s justice fulfilled in the world.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

Like the people of Israel, who looked around and saw nothing but destruction
and death on all sides, yet were promised that they would see the justice of
God come to pass and the glory of God returned to them, we may now struggle in
a world bent by corruption, violence, and selfishness, but with the freedom to
have a sure hope that things will not always thus be. As sure as Jesus’
resurrection, we will see Justice come. We will live to see the day that the
garden of God is restored in the earth, that all rebel kings are destroyed, and
that the One True King, the only king that would inaugurate his kingship by
first being chained up with the criminals, will reign in true justice and
freedom for all eternity.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">All
praise and worship and prayer is meaningless if it does not flow from a life
dedicated to the justice and love of the God it claims to praise. One cannot
speak truly of the character of God when one denies that character by one's
life. To ignore injustice and then claim to extol the name of the source of all
justice is abominable.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Isaiah’s
name means “God is Salvation”. The book that bears the name lives up to it. The
entire book of Isaiah is about the salvation of God, speaking of it more than
twice as often than all the other Hebrew prophetic books combined. But this
salvation was not of the personal and private kind, as we often speak of
salvation in the 21<sup>st</sup> century church. The salvation of God in Isaiah
is a complete restoration of an entire people whose land has been decimated and
their people scattered to exile among the empires of the North. Better than
that, Isaiah prophesies of a salvation of all nations, and of all of creation.
This salvation is better than a reformation, better than a revolution. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Isaiah
prophesies of a coming Messiah who will turn all things to right, who will be
the beginning of the end of the old way, and will by his authority turn the
world to justice. No other book in the Hebrew scripture but the Psalms is
quoted more frequently in the Christian New Testament than the book of Isaiah,
confirming the Messianic Anointing of Jesus Christ, and continuing the story of
salvation of all Creation from Jesus’ resurrection to return in harmony with
Isaiah’s prophesies from hundreds of years before.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The
judgment of the people of God is heard in the courtroom of all of Creation. All
of the earth and heavens are called upon to hear of the corruption of God’s
people. Those of us who claim to be of the people of God today should take care
to remain humble. God’s people are held to the standard of the Word of God they
know. We have no excuse.<br />
<br />
God describes his people as his “children”. In the book of Exodus, Moses was
told by God to call Israel “my firstborn son” when telling Pharaoh to let his
people go (Exodus 4:22). Exodus tells the story of Israel rescued from slavery
in the land of Egypt by God’s hand. 800 years later, Israel is now a ruined nation,
attacked, destroyed, and occupied by the empires of the North. Isaiah tells us
that this, too, was by God’s hand. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">God’s
patience with his people’s hypocrisy had come to an end. Their religious
practice had become nothing but a worthless show. Though they may continue to
go through the motions of religion and piety, Isaiah compared them to the
stubborn donkey or stupid ox, two animals who could at least remember to return
to their home, while God’s nation offended God by arrogantly building their own
empire of violence and slavery, completely forgetting the story of their
redemption, or the God who had called them to minister that same freedom they’d
received to others. They were adopted into the family of God, and chosen so
that they may display to the world the justice they’d come to know by their
salvation from Egypt. Instead, they’d become worse than Egypt, worse than the
nations that God had judged outside of his covenant. They were worse than Sodom
and Gomorrah, burnt by fire and sulfur from heaven. God even addresses them as
Sodom and Gomorrah, lest there be any doubt.</span></span></div>

will repent and follow God, according to God's word and will. This life of
justice is the work of God in us, making us righteous, if we will submit to it.</span></span></div>

The path of discipleship leads to the cross. We follow after Jesus, whose life was lived in direct course toward shameful execution as an insurrectionist by the Roman empire. Though we often seek to avoid it, to give our lives to the gospel includes an embrace of that same path in which Jesus walked. Our hope and our comfort is that we do not walk alone in our pain. Even when lonely or grieving, rejected or misunderstood, Jesus walks beside us, leading the way through the storm and toward our ultimate salvation.</div>

With Peter's testimony as his source, John Mark sought to pen an account
of Jesus' life that would be an encouragement to the persecuted church,
and a support to Peter's teachings that they should endure through
suffering and hope for God's final justice. His book, the gospel of
Mark, would serve to inspire two more accounts, Matthew and Luke, and
become a central document of the early Christian movement. He likely
drew upon his own experiences with rejection, as well as his and Peter's
own personal failures as they had succumbed to the temptation to
compromise in the face of persecution.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Mark's style is matter-of-fact, to the point, and fast-paced. His
account of the life of Jesus makes generous use of the word
"immediately", sometimes several times in one chapter. Jesus is seen in
action more than teaching, especially when compared to the other three
gospel accounts.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Just as Peter emphasized in his letters, Mark reminds his reader that
the life of discipleship comes at a steep price. Jesus himself is
rejected, threatened, or persecuted throughout the narrative. More of
the gospel is spent describing Jesus' suffering at the cross than any
other. The foil to the message in Mark's book is Peter himself, whose
character is more frequently foolish in Mark than any other gospel.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Mark 8:31-38 (ESV)<br />
31 And he began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many
things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the
scribes and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32 And he said
this plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33 But
turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind
me, Satan! For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but
on the things of man.”<br />
<br />
34 And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If
anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross
and follow me. 35 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but
whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. 36
For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his
soul? 37 For what can a man give in return for his soul? 38 For whoever
is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful
generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in
the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Peter himself misunderstood the cost of following Jesus at the
beginning. He desired, as many of those oppressed by the Romans also
desired, for Jesus to lead a revolt and establish a new order. Talk of
suffering and rejection was antithetical to the point of Jesus'
ministry, as far as Peter was concerned. Jesus says Peter's desire to
escape suffering reveals that his mind is not on the things of God. He is more interested in his comfort than in God's eternal plan. In this and other accounts of his own failure, Peter humbly admits his own ignorance as an
example to the reader of the truly upside-down nature of God's Kingdom
and its citizens.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
In Mark, the early Christians were presented with Jesus as they would
best be encouraged by him. Jesus is an enigma in Mark, often running
away to be alone, entering cities quietly, and asking those he healed to
keep his ministry secret. Jesus lives under the same oppressive Roman
authority as the early Christians. His message was of a new Kingdom, a
new order. He lived in the generation after hundreds of Jews had been
crucified for insurrection. He couldn't afford to be too public, just as
the early Christians after him also had to learn to be discreet. Jesus as the rejected, lonely, and
suffering Messiah, running and hiding from the public eye would have
resonated strongly with his scattered and misunderstood followers. They
were not alone. They were joining their King in the same life he now
shares with them. As he had endured and conquered, so would they.<br />
<br />
Still, on this side of eternity, the disciples were going to suffer great pain. They would be lonely, rejected, and abused. There would be times when they would question their faith and the cost of their discipleship. The promise if Mark's gospel was that Jesus had entered their pain, that they never were alone, that even if they walked to their execution, Jesus had been there, too. There was no darkness they would ever face that their Saviour did not also know. Our promise is the same.</div>

Hardship in true and active discipleship was certain. The hope they
shared was that victory in the power of the Holy Spirit was even more
certain. They were not alone. They carried the resurrection life of
Jesus inside them. They didn't need to fear the authorities. They
followed the true King of kings, and his will would be accomplished in
them no matter how bad the temporary circumstances may have otherwise
appeared.</div>

This prophesy was the good news that saved both Peter and John Mark. It
was by Peter that he had been despised and rejected. It was John Mark
who had gone his own way, like a lost sheep. It was for the sorrows of
both men that Jesus went to the cross. It was for the joy of giving the
gift of grace, a second chance, that he willingly endured the shame of
crucifixion. Like Peter and John, we also have gone astray, choosing our
own easier paths over the ultimate surrender of following after the
ultimate servant. Despite our many failures, Jesus made us worthy to be
called his disciples by his own sacrifice. Jesus carried the iniquity of
every one of us, the oppressor and the oppressed. Our iniquity, our
selfishness and oppression and hedonism, has been traded for the true
life of Jesus. With his life planted in us, he is working his will in
the world through us. Our hope is for the future Kingdom of justice and
truth not only for our own sake, but for the entire world.<br />

Finally, it would be irresponsible (and offensive) to suggest that all Christians today face the same kind of persecution and difficulty as the early Christians who were first reading Mark's gospel or Peter's letters. Far from being a persecuted minority, the evangelical church of North America experiences a very privileged culture. The Christian mainstream is a dominant cultural force, and even Christians that don't feel they identify strongly with that mainstream culture (including myself), do still reap the benefits of that culture every day. Mark and Peter remind us not to forget our brothers and sisters around the world who do not have the same privilege we do. The stories of the persecuted church in China and Vietnam and Palestine are part of our story as well. It does no good to our brothers and sisters who face real persecution for us to create a story of persecution for ourselves in the privileged west. Let us humbly remember and pray for those in the church who daily face some of the same horrors as the scattered church of the first century. Also, let the reminder of our privilege be an opportunity for us to be humbled. We have immigrant families in our neighbourhoods, schools, workplaces, and churches. Let us not become to them as the Roman Empire was to us. Let's be willing to set aside our privilege as Christ did his to humbly hear the stories of the truly oppressed, and learn to walk with them in their struggle for freedom and justice.<br />
<br />
When we begin to live in this humble solidarity with the most vulnerable around us, we will truly be following in the footsteps of our Rabbi, Jesus. As we raise our voices with theirs, we will begin to find ourselves beginning to walk out of step with the mainstream, a necessary part of our struggle of resistance against the principalities and powers of the empire in which we live. Just as with the early Christians, persecution and difficulty will be part of the experience of our faith if we follow after Jesus in this way. Many of us may experience this suffering far less than the early Christians, or the Christians today who live in countries with greater physical persecution. Or you may be a Jesus Follower reading this and truly be facing the kind of suffering described in this introduction. Either way, pain is real, and our Saviour promises to lift our burden.<br />
<br />
Nobody knows the personal pain that you carry. No matter how close our loved ones may be, there are pieces of our hearts, lonely places that can never be truly known. Our struggles with sin are our own, and there are dark places in all of our hearts that could never be truly understood by any other person, failures, temptations, or regrets that we alone know. But we are not alone in suffering. We can all be encouraged when we know that our King and Saviour
is not a severe or distant deity with whom we have no common ground.
Jesus our Lord experienced the deepest of human torment, abuse,
loneliness, rejection, and pain. He knows our weaknesses and
temptations, because they were his as well. He was misunderstood,
falsely accused, and betrayed. He shares the same hand that was dealt to
us. It is through him and for him that we live contrary to the
wickedness of the world. As we do, he walks with us every step of the
way. When no one else understands, he does. He is faithful. He will see
us through.</div>
