GRACE, LOAVES AND FISHES
LET US PRAY: COME HOLY SPIRIT, FILL THE HEARTS OF YOUR FAITHFUL AND KINDLE IN US THE FIRE OF YOUR LOVE.
SEND FORTH YOUR SPIRIT AND WE SHALL BE CREATED AND YOU SHALL RENEW THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
OH GOD, WHO BY THE LIGHT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT DID INSTRUCT THE HEARTS OF THE FAITHFUL, GRANT THAT BY THE SAME HOLY SPIRIT WE MAY BE TRULY WISE AND EVER ENJOY YOUR CONSOLATIONS, IN CHRIST'S NAME WE PRAY.
AMEN.
FIRST, I WANT TO THANK FATHER GOSE FOR INVITING ME.
THIS IS A SPECIAL PLACE FOR ME AND IT WARMS MY HEART
TO BE ABLE TO PREACH THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CRIST
IN THIS PLACE.
READ THE LESSON FROM JOHN 6:4-15.
I REMEMBER AS A SMALL CHILD WE SAID GRACE BEFORE OUR MEALS.
OFTEN THE MEAL WAS SIMPLE, SPARSE, AND UNPRETENTIOUS;
MANY TIMES JUST MOTHER AND SON SITTING AT A CRAMPED, FORMICA TOPPED TABLE IN A SMALL KITCHEN,
LOOKING AT A PLATE OF CABBAGE, POTATOES, AND A SMALL PIECE OF HAM.
NEVERTHELESS, WE SAID GRACE.
"GOD IS GREAT, GOD IS GOOD, LET US THANK HIM FOR THIS FOOD.
AMEN"
GRACE FOR ME AND MOTHER WAS A PRAYER.
WE SAID GRACE.
CERTAINLY MOTHER UNDERSTOOD,
AND EVEN AS A YOUNG BOY,
I UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS FOOD WAS PART OF GOD'S GIFT TO US.
MOTHER, AFTER ALL, DID NOT MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY FOOD,
IT HAD TO BE GOD'S GIFT.
ACTUALLY, THE TRUTH IS, MOTHER DID BUY THE FOOD.
SHE HAD ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY IT BECAUSE SHE DID WITHOUT.
SHE WORE THE SAME DRESS AND SHOES TO WORK FOR YEARS, AS A MAID,
AND SO THERE WAS MONEY FOR FOOD,
STILL A GIFT OF GOD.
MOTHER TAUGHT ME ABOUT GRACE.
BOTH THE GRACE WE SAID AT MEALS
AND THE UNDESERVED GRACE OF GOD.
I LEARNED ABOUT GRACE IN SUNDAY SCHOOL AND CHURCH, TOO;
BUT I EXPERIENCED GRACE FROM MOTHER.
I KNEW LONG BEFORE I HAD READ PAUL'S LETTER TO THE EPHESIANS
THAT GRACE WAS NOT SOMETHING TO BE EARNED BUT SOMETHING FREELY GIVEN,
SOMETHING SHARED BY A LOVING PARENT,
UNMERITED AND UNDESERVED.
WHEN I READ,
"...BY HIS GRACE WE ARE SAVED...IT IS NOT YOUR DOING.
IT IS GOD'S GIFT,
NOT A REWARD FOR WORK DONE,"
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT PAUL IS TALKING ABOUT.
I EXPERIENCED IT.
IT WAS REAL.
IT IS STILL REAL FOR ME.
THAT GRACE,
THE FREE GIFT OF GOD'S GRACE,
REFLECTED IN THE EYES,
THE TEARS,
AND THE SACRIFICE OF MOTHER
BECAME A CERTAIN REALITY FOR ME.
I NEED ONLY STOP, CLOSE MY EYES,
AND GOD'S GRACE IS AVAILABLE TO ME
ONCE AGAIN IN THOSE MEMORIES.
GOD'S GIFT OF GRACE ALWAYS COMES TO US FROM SOURCES OUTSIDE OF OURSELVES,
OFTEN WITH GREAT SURPRISE.
IN THIS MORNING'S OLD TESTAMENT LESSON,
CYRUS THE GENTILE KING IS A MOST UNLIKEY SOURCE OF LIBERATION AND GRACE FOR CAPTIVE ISREAL.
AND THE YOUNG BOY AND HIS LOAVES AND FISHES,
WE JUST READ ABOUT,
ARE AS JUST AN UNLIKELY SOURCE.
