THE LAST SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST: CHRIST THE KING: NOVEMBER 24, 2019

The Clergy’s

Corner

About 600 years before Christ became incarnate, before “the fullness of God was pleased to dwell” among us, the people of Judah experienced one of the greatest losses imaginable: exile. They were in-vaded by the day’s superpower, Babylon. There were mass deportations and their holy place – the Temple – was destroyed. Jeremiah was one of a handful of prophets who saw this coming. He was

compelled by God’s Spirit to warn folks of the coming doom, to plead with them to change their ways. As exile’s reality unfolded, the Lord spoke through Jeremiah to offer images of hope and promise so that the Jews could hold on to the stories they had, the culture they had, the faith they had – even in the harshest of circumstances.

Surprisingly, the central cause of Judah’s exile was not the aggressive, greedy, land-hungry Babylonians. Rather, it was Judah’s own corrupt leadership from the inside; the Shepherds of Judah were corrupt.

Instead of caring for the flock, they scattered them. Instead of attending to the people, they were exploiting their labor. Instead of integrating God’s laws into the fabric of how the power structure did business, they chose the oh-so-human law of “might makes right.”

By this point in the book of Jeremiah, the leadership of these corrupt shepherds has unavoidable consequences that will lead to suffering: exile is inevitable. So, Jeremiah pivots from proclaiming doom to of-fering hope in God’s promises. Look beyond the horizon and see the promise of a new Shepherd.

(Continued on page 2)

“The promise of a New Shepherd”

by The Rev. Margarette S. Dimanche

3


A Shepherd, who gathers, not scatters. A Shepherd who will bring them back, not drive them away, who will lead them beside still waters instead of making them work or be on-call or be ready to respond to anxiety-driven texts and emails at all hours. A Shepherd whose grace enables them to realize the intention God had for humanity from the beginning: to be fruitful and multiply, to flourish.

Now as Christians, we look at this Old Testament text and can’t help but imagine Jesus and the Spirit at work. Surely the Gospel writers did too, as they found ways to connect Jesus to the ancient testimony of Scripture. Jesus the Good Shepherd, Jesus the King gathers us – especially those most likely to be left behind. Jesus the Good Shepherd, Jesus the King is willing to speak truth to power. Jesus the Good Shepherd, Jesus the King bids us to lay our burdens down and come to him for rest.

This kind of shepherding, this kind of kingship is costly. The kings of the world resist it, despise it, want to stamp it out – and they try to do so. That’s what we see on Calvary. A battle between worldly kings and the Divine King. Corrupt shepherds and the Good Shepherd. Between the way of love – which happens through forgiveness, compassion, and peace, and the way of evil, greed, and fear.

Turning now to the second lesson, the writer of Colossians tries to help us understand the cross, to the extent that any of us can understand a mystery. The cross. The poetry of Colossians puts into big-picture per-spective the particular and scandalous agony of Christ the King dying shamefully on a cross. You see, the cross is a turning point in a larger cosmic story that begins at Creation and won’t end until we experience the fullness of God’s promise: that all things are reconciled to God, whether on earth or in heaven – until the whole cosmos rests in God’s peace.

4

We get glimpses of that peace now and again when Jesus, the Prince of Peace, draws near us in acts of courage, kindness, and generosity. But we have to remember that the Pax Christi, the Peace of Christ, comes through the cross. It does not come through our efforts, but rather God’s graciousness. Whatever schemes we devise, whatever justice is implemented in the land is provisional: it stands under the judgment and the promise of the cross. Earthly kings at their best point us to our divine king and his life-giving law.

We are about to enter the season of Advent: four weeks of preparation to receive our king. What does it look like for us to prepare? We are preparing for a visit from royalty who always greets us with for-giveness, acceptance, and love, a visit from a king who humbled him-self and became obedient to the point of death on a cross. A king who prefers the company of the lost, the lonely, least, and the last.

THE COLLECT OF THE DAY

The Celebrant says to the people

God be with you. All And also with you.

Celebrant Let us pray.

The Celebrant says the Collect.

The Last Sunday after Pentecost: Christ the King: Proper 29 BCP p. 236

Loving and everlasting God, whose will it is to restore all things in your well-beloved Son, the King of kings and Lord of lords: Mercifully grant that the peoples of the earth, divided and enslaved by sin, may be freed and brought together under his most gracious rule; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

THE FIRST READING

Jeremiah 23:1-6

The prophet Jeremiah promises that God will restore the flocks which have been scattered, and the shepherds responsible will suffer. May shepherds tremble in fear at the call they face, that of faithful leadership; and may the sheep take comfort that their good shepherd will find and restore them. A reading (lesson) from the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah:

Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says the Lord. Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the shepherds who shepherd my people: It is you who have scattered my flock, and have driven them away, and you have not attended to them. So I will attend to you for your evil doings, says the Lord. Then I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the lands where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, and they shall be fruitful and multiply. I will raise up shepherds over them who will shepherd them, and they shall not fear any longer, or be dismayed, nor shall any be missing, says the Lord.



3

The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. And this is the name by which he will be called: "The Lord is our righteousness." Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people

People Thanks be to God

THE RESPONSE

Psalm 46 Deus noster refugium BCP pg.649

1 God is our refuge and strength, * a very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be moved, *

and though the mountains be toppled into the depths of the sea;

3 Though its waters rage and foam, * and though the mountains tremble at its tumult.

4 The LORD of hosts is with us; *

the God of Jacob is our stronghold.

5 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, * the holy habitation of the Most High.

6 God is in the midst of her;

she shall not be overthrown; *

God shall help her at the break of day.

7 The nations make much ado, and the kingdoms are shaken; * God has spoken, and the earth shall melt away.

9 Come now and look upon the works of the LORD, * what awesome things he has done on earth.

10 It is he who makes war to cease in all the world; *

he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear,

and burns the shields with fire.

11 "Be still, then, and know that I am God; * I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the earth."



Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:

As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen

THE EPISTLE

Colossians 1:11-20

Jesus, the Son of God incarnate, fills all creation with his great power. Any energy we expend is meant to come from his stores rather than ours, to give glory to him. A reading (lesson) from the Letter of Paul to the Colossians:

May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from his glorious power, and may you be prepared to endure everything with patience, while joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.



5

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; for in him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers-- all things have been created through him and for him. He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross.

THE GOSPEL

Luke 23:33-43

Must Jesus do great miracles and show muscly strength for us to believe in his power as our Savior? May we have the faith of the criminal and know that Jesus is God.

The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to Luke. All Glory to you, Lord Christ.

When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified Jesus there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." And they cast lots to divide his clothing. The people stood by, watching Jesus on the cross; but the leaders scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Messiah of God, his chosen one!" The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine, and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!" There was also an inscription over him, "This is the King of the Jews."

One of the criminals who were hanged there kept deriding him and saying, "Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us!" But the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed have been condemned justly, for we are getting what we deserve for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong." Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." He replied, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise."

THE NICENE CREED BCP pg. 358 We believe in one God,

the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven,

was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became truly human.

For our sake, he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day, he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified.

who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

11

Silence… The People may add their own petitions.

The Celebrant adds a concluding Collect.

Grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Confession and Absolution

The Deacon or Celebrant says

Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.

Silence may be kept. Minister and People

God of all mercy: We confess that we have sinned against you, opposing your

will in our lives. We have denied your goodness in each other, in ourselves,

and in the world, you have created. We repent of the evil that enslaves us,

the evil we have done, And the evil done on our behalf.

Forgive, restore, and strengthen us through our Savior Jesus Christ, that we

may abide in your love and serve only your will. Amen.

The Priest, stands and says

Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive all your sins through the grace of

Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy

Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen

Celebrant God be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Lift up your hearts. People We lift them to the Lord.

Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People It is right to give God thanks and praise.

Then, facing the Holy Table, the Celebrant proceeds

It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

Here a Proper Preface is sung or said on all Sundays, and on other occasions as appointed.

Proper Preface: BCP p. 377

For you are the source of light and life; you made us in your image, and called us to new life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Therefore, we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:

SANCTUS ET BENEDICTUS BCP pg. 362

Celebrant and People

Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of mercy grace,

Heaven and earth are full of your glory.

Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest.



13

The people stand or kneel. Then the Celebrant continues

Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself, and, when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all.

He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world.

At the following words concerning the bread, the Celebrant is to hold it or lay a hand upon it; and at the words concerning the cup, to hold or place a hand upon the cup and any other vessel containing wine to be consecrated.

[En la noche en que fue entregado al sufrimiento y a la muerte, nuestro Señor Jesucristo tomó pan; y dándote gracias, lo partió y lo dio a sus discípulos, y dijo: "Tomen y coman. Este es mi Cuerpo, entregado por TODOS. Hagan esto como memorial mío"]

On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, "Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for ALL. Do this for the remembrance of me."

["Después de la cena tomó el cáliz; y dándote gracias, se lo entregó, y dijo: "Beban todos de él. Esta es mi Sangre del nuevo Pacto, sangre derramada por TODOS para el perdón de los pecados. Siempre que lo beban, háganlo como memorial mío".]

After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, "Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for ALL for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me."

Therefore, we proclaim the mystery of faith:


Christ has died.

Christ is risen.

Christ will come again.

The Celebrant continues



14

We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts.

Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him.

Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with Mary, the god bearer, John the divine, Augustine and all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom.

All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ: By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. AMEN.

And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to sing,

THE LORD’S PRAYER

People and Celebrant

Our Father, which art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy Name,

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts,

As we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,

for ever and ever. Amen

THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD

The Celebrant breaks the consecrated Bread. A period of silence is kept. Then may be said
