Oculi: Eyes on the Lord—3rd Sunday in Lent

3/23/2014

Introit: Psalm 25:1-2, 17-18, 20; antiphon: Psalm 25:15-16
Readings: Jeremiah 26:1-15; Ephesians 5:1-9; Luke 11:14-28

In the name of the Father and of the +Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Last week and this week the Introit was from Psalm 25. I’ve said we get the psalms wrong when we make them about us. There is always lots to instruct and comfort us in the psalms, but they are prayer book, or if you will the diary, of Jesus our saviour.

This is the third of a series about the Divine Service.

Part 1: Confession & Absolution
Part 2: the "Kyrie Eleison"
Part 3: the "Gloria in Excelsis"
Part 4: the "Creed"
Part 5: the "Sanctus"
Part 6: the "Agnus Dei"

Jeremiah 26:1-15
Ephesians 5:1-9
Luke 11:14-28

In the name of the Father and of the +Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

What is God’s glory? What is glory in general? It is hard to define, and yet we all kind of know what glory is. We can use the word even without being able to put our finger on exactly what it is. It is as though you can’t describe it but you know it when you see it. Glory is basically something important in a person that is worthy of praising. It draws a reaction from you. You can’t help but respond to something glorious. That's why we shout when we see a beautiful goal in a hockey game, and the emotions are stirred by a powerful performance in a movie. We have a song in our worship called the Gloria In Excelsis. Normally we sing it every Sunday, but not during Lent because Lent is a time to set aside our joyful praises in order to ponder what our saviour had to save us from. Setting aside of our praise of Him renews our reaction to His glory. It makes our praise of Him that much sweeter on Easter Sunday, the day of our salvation.

Jeremiah 26:1-15
Ephesians 5:1-9
Luke 11:14-28
In the name of the Father and of the +Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Is your house cluttered? These days we all have too much stuff. Rare is the person with the gift of being orderly, uncluttered, and knowing just where to file that piece of paper, that letter, that bill, or who deals with it promptly and orderly. Also rare is the person who doesn't constantly desire more stuff. Rare is the person who buys quality so that what they have lasts a long time, rather than merely accumulating lots of junky, low quality stuff, that breaks quickly, and needs constant replacing. More than that, rare is the person who when they have to replace it doesn’t still hang on to the old broken one! We all have too much stuff. Clutter everywhere. Even you folks who may not have fallen into these traps of our day, certainly have more than any of us truly need.
