Truth & Trust

You are welcome exactly as you are.

One of the great “disconnects” between ourselves and the authors of our New Testament scriptures is their firm belief that Jesus would soon return in a complete and final cosmic victory. They believed Jesus's identity as the “Son of God” and the “King of Kings” would soon be revealed. (The word “apocalypse” means “revealed” or “revelation.”)

Generations of Christians have struggled with what to make of the fact that Jesus did not return on his disciples’ timetable. The apocalyptic dimension of the early Christian gospel is not important to most Christians I know today. Most of us simply no longer think in these terms.

Yet these terms are important to understand if we want to make sense of many passages in our scriptures — including the two passages we will read this Sunday in worship. In the opening of his letter to the church in Thessalonica, Paul writes of hoping to escape “the wrath to come.” And Jesus’s response to the trap set for him by the Pharisees and Herodians in Matthew 22 makes all the more sense if we suppose him to be imagining that Caesar’s earthly rule would be only temporary.

It is not easy to follow Jesus in times like these – when corrupt principalities and powers can seem so enduring and when the future can seem so uncertain.

Alll the more reason that we need each other in such a time as this.
