Lectionary: Series C (394)
  1. Moses has a Second Commandment issue. Here you have an incredibly faithful guy who fails just once and is, therefore, barred from the promise.
  2. Moses should receive honor, Jesus even more. Moses should be followed, Jesus even more. Moses should be trusted, Jesus most of all and above all else.
  3. This glory, once found, is not to be extracted from this world. Rather, God comes in glory to impart glory to the world.
  4. At the close of what we see as impossible commands, Jesus leaves His disciples with a picture of God’s impossible love made possible in Him.
  5. A dead son is found alive and through reconciliation God’s salvation changes everything for the brothers and for the entire world.
  6. Death is a planting, but every planting has a purpose: More life than you could ever imagine.
  7. The words of Jesus are hard words for us to hear today, especially in America. They call us to question our lifestyle choices, to turn from our pursuit of happiness, and to experience the gift of grace.
  8. Both preachers and hearers are susceptible to a practical Sadducee-ism, which removes the proclamation and confidence of the bodily resurrection from the regular life of Christ’s Church.
  9. Those who trust in the Lord are not anxious when drought comes because they have the roots that run deep from the tree into which they have been transplanted.
