Lenten Reflection

Last Sunday was the beginning of a five-Sunday journey through the Lenten season. Unlike the early disciples who didn’t seem to understand where the journey was heading, we do. But during Lent we have an opportunity to imagine ourselves on the same journey as the disciples, experiencing their excitement and at times their uncertainties. There were signposts along the way, not visible ones, but words that Jesus spoke to them. Let your Lenten reflections this week help you focus on signposts for your own journey as a disciple alongside Jesus Christ.

Optional: have a volunteer ring a chime or bell three times

Maloba

Lent is a time that leads us to turn our focus inward, to think about where we are on the journey walking with Jesus. Week by week we remember parts of his journey in the last days of his earthly life and the courage it took for him to keep moving.

While we are not on the same kind of journey, we are walking as he did on this Earth that was created as a blessing to all creatures. While we do so we need to actively participate in helping to protect, preserve and restore this wonderful planet to be what God created it to be. In doing so we will be peacemakers.

Moment ya ko focuser

Portrayal

Invite the three people chosen to participate to take their places: one on the chair with a book of scripture in hand, one holding the bell or chime, and one carrying the sign. The person with the bell or chime quietly rings it while slowly walking around the person on the chair. Alternatively, a person participating online could unmute and do this part by providing any audible distraction.

Meanwhile, the person seated continues to focus on reading. The person with the sign begins to circle around the seated person too, holding the sign so they can see it while the chiming, bell ringing or other sounds continue. The person seated keeps focusing completely on reading. After 2-3 minutes have elapsed signal to the participants to stop and return to their seats or mute again.

Maloba

That was an example of not letting anything disturb us. Sometimes outside events can arouse feelings of anxiety, fear, and uncertainty. We lose the ability to stay focused on God and God’s promises. We let disturbing things overwhelm our minds.

Scriptures can help guide us into refocusing by holding up how people encountered God through many generations. In Community of Christ, we hold the following Basic Belief about scripture:

Scripture is writing inspired by God’s spirit and accepted by the church as the normative expression of its identity, message, and mission. We affirm the Bible as the foundational scripture for the church. In addition, Community of Christ uses the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants – not to replace the witness of the Bible or improve on it, but because they confirm its message that Jesus Christ is the Living Word of God. When responsibly interpreted and faithfully applied, scripture provides divine guidance and inspired insight for our discipleship.

—Sharing in Community of Christ, 4th Edition, Herald House, 2018, p. 36.

Bolukiluki ya Makomi

Display Romans 4:13-25 or refer to the printed or projected scripture. Allow two to three minutes for participants to read the scripture, then briefly discuss this question:

What does the scripture say to you about the faithfulness of God? about hope?

We join with other Christians who for many centuries have observed Lent as the forty days between Ash Wednesday and Easter, not counting Sundays. During Lent, we center our attention on Jesus as we remember his life and ministry. Lent also provides a means to sharpen our focus on our own lives in relationship to Jesus. And the Lenten season encourages us to turn away from whatever distracts or blocks our commitment to discipleship. May the season of Lent help us walk with Jesus, even though the path leads to the cross.

God of lightness and darkness, peace in our world today may seem unreasonable, far-fetched, ludicrous. Also ridiculous was the thought that Abram and Sarah might have a son. Yet, their descendants now number as many as the stars. God, we know you are capable of the most unlikely things, and we praise you for that! You create something of nothing—every day! We trust that you are working in the world, shining peace into the world like stars in the night sky.

May we pause to see the stars, to see the peace, which you create daily. And then, may we join you. May we be so bold as to work to create something from nothing—and may we see that there is already a peaceful-something, even in the most ludicrously nothing places. In the name of Jesus, our north star. Amen.

Momeseno ya Molimo

Momeseno ya Silence

Practicing silence may be difficult at first. The mind may run wild. Allow yourself grace in this practice. We will begin when I ring the chime. We will be silent for five minutes. I will ring the chime again to conclude our time of silence.

Remember to breathe deeply. Focusing on each breath can help quiet the mind. Become aware of your surroundings; notice how the air feels on your skin; trust that you are in the presence of the Holy—fully surrounding and embracing you. Allow your inner conversations to stop for a while. Be fully present with the One who is fully present with you.

Benga chime mpo na kobanda.

Zelá miniti mitano.

Benga chime mpo na kosukisa eleko ya silence.

Ask: How does it feel to be present with God in silence?

Baloma 4:13–25 NRSVue

¹³For the promise that he would inherit the world did not come to Abraham or to his descendants through the law but through the righteousness of faith. ¹⁴For if it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void. ¹⁵For the law brings wrath, but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

¹⁶For this reason the promise depends on faith, in order that it may rest on grace, so that it may be guaranteed to all his descendants, not only to the adherents of the law but also to those who share the faith of Abraham (who is the father of all of us, ¹⁷as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”), in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.¹⁸Hoping against hope, he believed that he would become “the father of many nations,” according to what was said, “So shall your descendants be.” ¹⁹He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was already as good as dead (for he was about a hundred years old), and the barrenness of Sarah’s womb. ²⁰No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, ²¹being fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.²²Therefore “it was reckoned to him as righteousness.” ²³Now the words, “it was reckoned to him,” were written not for his sake alone ²⁴but for ours also. It will be reckoned to us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, ²⁵who was handed over for our trespasses and was raised for our justification.

—Romans 4:13-25 NRSVue

The phrase “hoping against hope,” which sometimes is used to suggest clinging on even when all seems hopeless, originates from verse 18 of today’s scripture and is central to its message. In Abraham, we meet an extraordinary person who had faith in a God who promised the impossible and then did it. God declared to Abraham, “I have made you the father of many nations.”

Such a promise would be challenging for anyone to grasp and accept. But with Abraham, who was almost 100 years old and whose wife, Sarah, was barren, it would have been beyond belief.

Abraham inherited the promise made to him by God, not because he adhered to the law, but because of solid and consistent faith in the face of much evidence to the contrary that what God had promised would come to pass. Abraham believed in hope—a hope that saw beyond the circumstances to rest on the promises and ability of God.

As we continue this Lenten journey of self-reflection and preparation, perhaps it is best to focus not on the cross, but on the resurrection, new life, and “hope against hope” that God has promised, if only we will have faith. God had promised Abraham he would become the father of many nations. Indeed, this was impossible. Jesus told his disciples he would be killed and rise again on the third day. Indeed, this was impossible. Unless you believe in a God of the impossible, that is.

Mituna

Abraham believed in hope. Who in your life would you consider as models of Abraham’s faith and hope?
Think of a time when you clung to hope when all seemed hopeless. How did your faith in God help you through that time?
What are your hopes today, and how is faith present in this hope?

Say: Today is the second Sunday in Lent. Lent is a time when we prepare for Easter by intentionally taking time to grow our relationship with God. We can deepen our relationship with God in many ways, but three are especially important during Lent: fasting, praying, and almsgiving. Last week we talked about fasting.

Ask: Does anyone remember what fasting is?

Say: This week, we are going to talk about prayer. There are many ways to pray. No matter how you pray, it is important to create safe space around you or within you where you can spend time with God. Today, we are going to create a visual reminder of a safe space so we can remember how important it is.

Last week you brainstormed things you could fast from during Lent and then colored over those things. I took your papers and cut them into fine strips. We are going to glue these fine strips on a new piece of paper in the shape of a nest. You get to decide what your nest looks like and how many strips of paper you need to make it.

While participants are using glue sticks and paper strips to create nests on their papers, talk about ways we can create space for God.

Say: Once you have created your nest, write your name on the back of your paper and hand it to me. I will keep the papers until next week, when we continue to add to our art.

This week, see how you intentionally can create space in your life for God.

The phrase “hoping against hope,” which is sometimes used to suggest clinging on even when all seems hopeless, originates from verse 18 of today’s scripture passage and is central to its message. In Abraham, we meet an extraordinary person who had faith in a God who promised the impossible and then did it. God declared to Abraham, “I have made you the father of many nations” (v.17). Such a promise would be challenging for anyone to grasp and accept. But, with Abraham, who was almost 100 years old and whose wife Sarah was barren, it would have been beyond belief. Yet, we are told Abraham “did not waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in faith as he gave glory to God, being fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised” (vv. 20–21).

Paul presents Abraham as the Father of All Believers. Abraham inherited the promise made to him by God, not because he adhered to the law, but because of solid and consistent faith—in the face of much evidence to the contrary—that what God promised would come to pass. Abraham believed in hope, a hope that saw beyond the circumstances to find rest on the promises and ability of God.

Paul’s intent is not to place Abraham on a pedestal. He does not imply Abraham was a perfect person who never doubted. What is portrayed is a man whose attitude was consistently one of faith and hope in the promise of God.

In the opening chapter of Romans, Paul describes a human race that has ignored, dishonored, and failed to worship God. In contrast, in Romans chapter 4, we find Abraham, one who is called to undo humankind’s sin by believing in God as creator and life-giver (v. 17) and by trusting in God’s promises (v. 19). However, we must recognize that it is through Jesus Christ, not Abraham, that humankind is saved.

While the focus is on Abraham in this chapter, Paul concludes that Jesus, who was crucified because of human evil, was raised for our justification—that we might become one with God through our faith. If our goal is justification, then Abraham provides a worthy signpost towards it, but it is only in Jesus that the goal is reached. As theologian Tom Wright explains, “Abraham believed that God would give life where there was none. Christians believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. In both cases, it can only be a recognition that God is God, that our life and the life of the world are in God’s hand, that God has already begun the new creation and invites us to trust God to carry it through to the end.”

“Hoping against hope, he believed…” (v.18). God had promised Abraham he would become the father of many nations. Indeed, this was impossible. Jesus told his disciples he would be killed and rise again on the third day. Indeed, this was impossible. Unless you believe in a God of the impossible, that is.

Lisolo ya elaka ya Nzambe epai ya Abrama mpe Sarai (Nzambe na nsima abongolaki nkombo na bango na Abalayama mpe Sara) ezali na Genese mokapo 15 kino 17. Nzambe asalaki kondimana na Abrama kolobaka ete ye ná Sarai bakokóma tata mpe mama ya bikólo mingi mpe bakitani na bango bakotánga mingi koleka minzoto nyonso oyo ezalaki na likoló.

Elaka nini Nzambe apesi biso?
Ndenge nini tokoki komonisa kondima epai ya Nzambe?
