Sermon: Mathew 20:1-16
September 25th, 2008 · Posted in SERMONS ·Someone asked me last night why I had not posted last Sunday’s sermon on my sermon blog
All I could say was that I forgot.
Actually, I just have not taken the time this week to do it yet — but here it is. It’s based on Matthew 20:1-16 and entitled “Thank God That God Is God And We are Not”.
Here’s a portion of it:
Maybe we need to have a basic conversation with ourselves every morning. I read not long ago of a minister who urged his congregation to revisit the conversation in John 1 between John the Baptist and the crowds when they asked him if he was the Messiah. John replied – emphatically – “I am not the Messiah”
Maybe every day we need to look in the mirror and tell ourselves – emphatically – “I am not the Messiah!” – or “I am not God”
“God is God – and I am not”
“God is God – and we are not”
