The Crowning Act of Deception

Blinded by Grief

May 2, 2019 By admin

While we were taking our morning walk, my husband and I had a “misunderstanding.” I wondered if the sour feeling would lessen our ability to worship that day. Then on our way to church my husband kept asking about my reactions to Jesus’ crucifixion. That was the lesson he was about to teach in his adult class. He wondered how anyone could watch their son die that way — and yet, besides Mary — God, the Father, and the Holy Spirit had to watch Jesus die.

I told him that I could relate in a small way. I could remember how difficult it was for me to hear our five-year-old son scream for me when he was taken into surgery years ago. I could not follow him or hold his hand. He was on his own as he slipped into the lostness of anesthesia. That memory will always break my heart. Jesus had nothing to dull the pain of separation except for his faith in God’s love.

“Would you like to know when you are going to die?” Of course, each day means we are one day closer to our deaths. I remember the days leading up to my mother’s funeral and just wanting to get beyond that day. What was it like for Jesus to know when he was going to die? He had told the disciples about the time frame and they really weren’t paying attention. We surmised what it was like for him hanging on the cross — feeling emotional pain just as much, or more, than physical pain. Going into a death from which he could not be certain he would return. With some of his last breathes he focused on forgiveness for the guilty, and care for his mother.

We pondered the disciples’ grief as they waited after Jesus death. Had they followed Jesus in vain? They had lost their best friend and teacher — the dearest, kindest person they ever knew. Their sense of loss must have been so very dark and strong. We know the ending to the story but they were blinded by grief and vanishing faith.

My husband was so moved as he drove that he asked me for some tissues. I did not want to mess up my mascara as we talked, so I choked back my tears. Of course, I felt great sorrow for all involved in that awesome weekend many years ago. I felt gratitude for a God that would part with the Great Intimacy of Three to save the very people that would like to destroy their Creator. The day that changed history. A terrible day and yet a day of hope.

I was left in the wonder of witnessing my God’s love, and how much it has touched the heart of my husband. This same man who tracks his Fantasy Football scores, who fixes the toilet, who snores in my bed, who still struggles with bad habits–is close to tears when he ponders the cross of Jesus. I have noticed that my husband’s focus on Jesus leads him to greater compassion with people, and often with my annoying ways.

Truly, Jesus’ resurrection power was not only displayed in his physical body, but it exists every day in the hearts and lives of His believers. “And his incomparably great power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 1:19-20, NIV).

Hope and Wholeness Summit

March 11, 2019 By admin

SDACC’s Hope and Wholeness Health Summit in Pugwash, N.S When you climb to the top of a mountain, you do so to gain more than a spectacular view. It is about the hope of coming away positively transformed by the journey. And what a spiritual journey it was for the 150 people who gathered this fall at the SDACC’s Hope and Wholeness Health Summit in Pugwash, N.S.! The summit began with a fast climb to a mountaintop experience in Christ Jesus with a powerful prayer session asking God for His vision for health ministries and His church.

Light and Warmth

February 25, 2019 By admin

On a sunny winter day we opened the shades on the south facing windows and sliding doors of our home. During most of the year they are closed to keep the house cool, but during a cold snap the warmth is welcome. The sleepy cats soon found places in sunshine spots on the floor to luxuriate.

Along with the bright light and warmth of morning, the truth of my housekeeping was on display everywhere. The disturbing revelation included dirty specks on the floors, smudges and rain residue on the windows and sliding doors, greasy marks and fingerprints on my kitchen cabinets and stainless steel appliances, plus cat hair on the furniture. So much cleaning had been neglected! I started to feel ashamed and then defensive. I argued with myself: most of the time this doesn’t show, I have other things in my life, I don’t use a maid, my house is cleaner than average, it looks fine in the afternoon and evening light. Oh, just shut the shades so I don’t have to see all this!

Yet the older I get, the less confident I feel about walking in darkness or dim lighting. I am glad that there is a streetlight near my house. I don’t really like driving my car in new routes in the dark. Sure I can use a flashlight or my car headlights but that only lights a path and there are a lot of unknowns in the shadows. Crime statistics prove that the majority of evil is done under the darkness of night. 

Have you ever taken something into sunlight so you could see it’s “true colors”? I am reminded about how all of us sometime like to hide in the dark. Or we keep others in the dark so they won’t know the truth about us. We can fool ourselves for so long but if the sunlight of truth or honesty hits us, we are shamed, angry or defensive as we back into the darkness. In 2 Corinthians 4:4, the Apostle Paul tells us that the god of this age has blinded unbelievers so “they don’t see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ,” (NIV).

Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life” John 8:12.  God often shows up as a burning or blinding light in Bible stories. He, as the source of energy and life, is a ball of fire, a burning bush, an eternal flame, a brilliance too much for human eyes. However, there is mercy once we are in God’s wonderful light (I Peter 2:9-10).

God made his light shine in our hearts (2 Corinthians 4: 6) and we are invited to use the light that God gives us to help brighten this world—to bring an end to darkness of the mind and spirit (Matthew 5:14-16). I want to welcome God’s light and warmth in a world that so often presses darkness upon us and chills us with fear and anxiety.

In the bright sunshine I marveled at the delicate details of my cats’ fur, the flowers outside the window, and a blue cloudless sky. Then  I swept my floor, wiped some cabinet fronts and started singing a song from my childhood. “This little light of mine, I’m going let it shine.” 

Questions for personal journaling or group discussion:

  1. Tell about a time when you longed for sunshine.
  2. In Revelation 21, the New Jerusalem or the Holy City that God has prepared for his believers is described. Read verses 23 and 24. What is the “glory of God” to you?
