What Are You Adding for Lent?

I’m sure you all have heard the phrase “What are you giving up for Lent?” even if you haven’t participated in Lenten fasting. The practice is a salutary one, and one that many Christians have undertaken over the centuries. Our Lord taught with the expectation that people would fast. Note His words in Matthew 6: “And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they

disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” Jesus said “When you fast…” as though it were a normal part of life for the believer. In the Small Catechism, is says “Fasting and bodily preparation are indeed fine outward training.” Fasting can remind us of our dependence on God rather than on the resources of this world.

However, does this mean that we are obligated to fast or give up things at Lent or other times? No, not as such; I say that because if something is pulling you away from Jesus, if something is leading you to sin, then yes, you must give it up. That line from the Small Catechism continues, “[H]e is truly worthy and well prepared who has faith in these words, ‘Given and shed for you for the remission of sins.’ But he who does not believe these words, or doubts them, is unworthy and unprepared; for the words ‘for you’ require truly believing hearts.” Christ alone is the reason we can stand before God without fear. It is His work on Calvary’s tree that sets us right before God—not our piety, good works, fasting, or any other thing, no matter how salutary they might be.

Regarding the need for our Lord Christ’s atoning work, Luther wrote this in his Large Catechism on the Second Article of the Creed: “For when we had been created by God the Father and had received from Him all kinds of good, the devil came and led us into disobedience, sin, death, and all evil [Genesis 3]. So we fell under God’s wrath and displeasure and were doomed to eternal damnation, just as we had merited and deserved. There was no counsel, help, or comfort until this only and eternal Son of God—in His immeasurable goodness—had compassion upon our misery and wretchedness. He came from heaven to help us [John 1:9]. So those tyrants and jailers are all expelled now. In their place has come Jesus Christ, Lord of life, righteousness, every blessing, and salvation. He has delivered us poor, lost people from hell’s jaws, has won us, has made us free [Romans 8:1–2], and has brought us again into the Father’s favor and grace. He has taken us as His own property under His shelter and protection [Psalm 61:3–4] so that He may govern us by His righteousness, wisdom, power, life, and blessedness.”

“Let this, then, be the sum of this article: the little word Lord means simply the same as redeemer. It means the One who has brought us from Satan to God, from death to life, from sin to righteousness, and who preserves us in the same. But all the points that follow in this article serve no other purpose than to explain and express this redemption. They explain how and by whom it was accomplished. They explain how much it cost Him and what He spent and risked so that He might win us and bring us under His dominion. It explains that He became man [John 1:14], was conceived and born without sin [Hebrews 4:15], from the Holy Spirit and from the virgin Mary [Luke 1:35], so that He might overcome sin. Further, it explains that He suffered, died, and was buried so that He might make satisfaction for me and pay what I owe [1 Corinthians 15:3–4], not with silver or gold, but with His own precious blood [1 Peter 1:18–19]. And He did all this in order to become my Lord. He did none of these things for Himself, nor did He have any need for redemption. After that He rose again from the dead, swallowed up and devoured death [1 Corinthians 15:54], and finally ascended into heaven and assumed the government at the Father’s right hand [1 Peter 3:22]. He did these things so that the devil and all powers must be subject to Him and lie at His feet [Hebrews 10:12–13] until finally, at the Last Day, He will completely divide and separate us from the wicked world, the devil, death, sin, and such [Matthew 25:31–46; 13:24–30, 47–50].”¹

Knowing this, perhaps it would be better for us to add something to Lent—like reading through the Scriptures, continuing family devotions, setting aside a regular time of prayer, and attending Wednesday midweek services. No, those will not make you more acceptable to the Lord, but they will strengthen your faith as you learn how far our Lord Christ Jesus went in His love for you. In fact, perhaps it would be best if devotions such as these were added to our lives not only in Lent, but throughout the years our Lord gives us on this earth. Just a thought.

This Do in Remembrance of Me

By Rev. Dr. Matt Richard

There is much confusion about Communion these days in the church. When you ask the average churchgoer about Communion, they will agree that it is important. But when asked ‘why’ it is important, well… we will find many different opinions, showing a substantial amount of confusion.

Perhaps the most significant amount of confusion about Communion comes over the words,

“Do this in remembrance of me.”

Permit me an opportunity to explain.

When Jesus was with His disciples before His crucifixion, He broke bread and gave it to the disciples saying,

“This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

Now, many Christians have understood this last portion to mean that when we gather together for Communion that we do so to remember Jesus, the best that we can. That is to say, according to these individuals, Communion is a time where we come together to remember Jesus and His sacrifice. And by remembering Jesus, our memories are what keep Jesus alive in our minds.

And so, this kind of emphasis leads us to see Communion as a kind of memorial day where we never forget the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus in our minds and thoughts. Communion becomes a day to commemorate Jesus in our minds with a meal.

Now, what I have just described is how many well-intentioned Christians understand Communion. They see Communion as something only to remind us of Christ and his death. But dear friends, if Communion is only a remembrance that is intended to remind us of the Gospel, so that the Gospel can stir our hearts, then Communion becomes an ambiguous mental activity. Indeed, if Communion is some memorial activity where we try and remember the good ol’ days of Jesus, are we not conducting Communion Services to make sure that Jesus doesn’t slip through our minds? And if Communion is only about you and me recalling Jesus in our minds, then isn’t Communion just another ritualistic ordinance that we have to do to keep Christianity front and center in our minds.

Dear friends, the problem with all of this arises with how we understand the word ‘remembrance.’ You see, when we hear the word ‘remembrance,’ we hear it as a verb, as something that we must do in our minds – to recall or remember someone or something. And so according to this way of thinking, Communion becomes about you making sure that you are remembering Jesus and then thinking about Jesus-memories correctly, as you eat and drink bread and wine. As the theologians would say, this makes Communion function underneath the banner of Law rather than Gospel. It puts the pressure on you and how well you are remembering Jesus.

Dear friends, you might be surprised to learn that when Jesus says, “do this in remembrance of me,” that the word ‘remembrance’ really has little to do with only recalling the events of the past in our minds. The word ‘remembrance’ is far more than a mere mental recollection of the events of the past. You see, when Jesus uses the word ‘remembrance,’ He is using it as a noun. Simply stated, according to Jesus and the Jewish way of thinking ‘remembrance’ means to participate in 'a thing' in the present time according to certain events of the past.

If you are confused a bit, let me explain with an example.

To understand Jesus’ use of the word ‘remembrance,’ think of a wedding anniversary – say a 20^th Anniversary. Now, imagine a wife spending her entire anniversary day thinking about the details and facts of her wedding – the temperature outside, the colors of the tuxedos, and the kind of food served at the reception. If this is all that the wife did for her 20^th Anniversary, it would be fairly lame. It would be sad. In fact, we would even begin to wonder, is the groom even alive? Is the wife widowed?”

You see, recalling the historical facts and details of a wedding is not doing a 20^th Anniversary right! Instead, to make the anniversary profound and right, the wife needs more than merely remembering the details and facts. She can remember the past but also needs to participate in the wedding anniversary in the present. In other words, the wife needs to accept the flowers that the husband buys her. She needs to be taken out to dinner. She needs her husband to whisper words of love into her ear, so that she hears his commitment, love, and dedication to her. To do the 20^th Anniversary right, the wife not only can recall the past but needs to be swept up in her husband’s present love, pursuit, and commitment.[1]

Dear friends, to do Communion as a remembrance is not just merely recollecting the past of what Jesus did. But it is a remembrance that we participate in by eating and drinking – receiving. To do Communion right is for us to be like that wife who is pursued, cherished, and loved by her husband.

Baptized Saints, as the Lord Jesus Christ gives us His body and blood in the here and now, we are a part of the remembrance -– not through our imagination or reflections – but through eating and drinking His very real presence. In Communion, we are not memorializing a dead man. In Communion, we are not doing mental exercises. But rather, it is a Sacrament, where we are pulled into a Holy Meal, to receive Jesus upon our tongues and into our bellies.

And so, just as Baptism and Absolution are things that come to you, Communion is something that comes to you in the way of gift as well. Communion is not Law, but Gospel. Communion is not primarily you remembering – a mental exercise towards God. But Communion is one of the ways that the Lord comes to you with forgiveness, life, and salvation.

Baptized Saints, Jesus came to humanity in that manger. Jesus will come again. In the meantime, He comes to you in the Word and Sacraments. He places His name upon you in Baptism. He pours forgiveness into your ears in the Absolution. And He lays His body and blood upon your tongue to strengthen and sustain you in this remembrance of Communion.

Our Lord comes. He comes for you. God be praised.

Everyday Faith

I don’t know exactly what your phone looks like or more specifically what you choose to keep on your phone. If your phone is anything like mine, I am guessing you keep pictures stored on your device. My phone actually holds an embarrassing number of photos and videos, mostly of my two toddlers, which I back up to a cloud-based storage system. Once the photos are backed up, I delete the files from my phone—which then allows me to fill it back up again with more pictures and videos. Honestly, this probably says more about the limits of my self-control than anything else.

Reflecting on Photographs Especially in a season of raising little people, I find myself constantly wanting to capture moments that I will want to look back on many years from today—their little smiles when they do something on their own for the first time, for example. I have taken pictures and videos of their first steps, outings to different parks, and moments of play that capture their personalities. You get the idea! Lately, my daughter has even started taking pictures and filling my phone with pictures of mostly nothing—except for every now and again when she manages to capture her feet. I quickly find myself wanting to save even those poor quality pictures of her tiny toes.

Details matter. Details are what give memories life and make a memory feel like it wasn’t so long ago. Without baby pictures to look back on, I doubt I would remember as much about bath times, what they did with their arms when they slept, or the face a family member made when meeting them for the first time. Desiring to look back on these kinds of details and moments are part of what makes Scripture such a gift to us. We have the ability to scroll through the details of God’s redemptive story and remember what He did for us through Jesus.

Reflecting on Psalm 22In the Book of Psalms, we have a chapter to help us focus on some details surrounding the end of Jesus’ life. This month, each day will focus on one verse from Psalm 22. You may recognize some of the familiar words from this reading commonly used during Holy Week. Like the details I want to remember about my own children’s daily lives when I look back at pictures, we get to look back at Scripture to remind ourselves of the details of Jesus’ journey to the cross.

Psalm 22 gives us insight into the feelings that Jesus was confronted with as He suffered on our behalf. It details the physical feelings of His bones being out of joint and His mouth being dried up. It details His emotional state of feeling alone and forsaken. We are reminded that everyone had turned against Jesus in those final moments, including His own Father. He was surrounded by a “company of evildoers” (v. 16) who would pierce His hands and feet. Detail after detail in this chapter allows us to draw near to this redemptive moment of God at work.

Taking time to study these details bring the crucifixion to life in a way that might feel uncomfortable or intense as you truly consider the words of the psalmist. Without these details, we might miss out on the gravity of the work He did on our sinful behalf. Looking back allows us to better grasp the words of Paul found in Romans 6:5–11 (emphasis added):

For if we have been united with Him in a death like His, we shall certainly be united with Him in a resurrection like His. We know that our old self was crucified with Him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For one who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him. We know that Christ, being raise from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death He died He died to sin, once for all, but the life He lives He lives to God. So you also most consider yourself dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

May you see Scripture, especially Psalm 22 this month, as a way to be present at the foot at the cross. The details of those moments are all there for you to relive. As you view this picture, be reminded that, because of what Jesus did, God does not look back on the details of your life and see sin. He looks at the details of your life and remembers only Jesus.

LCMS Stewardship Ministry

Newsletter Article – March 2020

We are at the beginning of Lent. During the Lenten season, the church calls to our attention the sufficiency of what God gives. It points to the sufficiency of God’s grace in the atoning work of Jesus. It shows us the sufficiency of faith in Jesus’ work for us. It makes known the sufficiency of God’s Word in faith and life.

But Lent doesn’t just remind us of the sufficiency of God’s spiritual gifts, the gifts that pertain to our redemption and salvation. Lent also reminds us of the sufficiency of the physical, temporal gifts of God, those that pertain to this body and life. In other words, it reminds us of the importance of godly contentment and of outward discipline and training of the body.

This outward training of the body teaches us not to give in to every desire of our flesh but to learn to say no to them. And it does this in such a way that if you fail, it is no sin. It is a way to practice without putting yourself into a compromising situation.

The easiest example of this is fasting. When you fast, you are practicing saying no to the desires of your body. But if you fail in this, if you break your fast, you have not sinned. You have, though, learned something about how your flesh works, how difficult it is to fight against it, and how you need help from above in order to do it.

There is another example of this. It is alms-giving. This is an increase in giving to the church and its mission during this time. We all know that our flesh finds security in money and stuff. By committing to give more to the church, you are training your flesh. You are, by this outward discipline, training yourself to be content with what God gives. You are practicing saying “no” to your desires. Again, if you fail, you have not sinned. But you’ve learned just how powerful your flesh is in leading you instead of you leading it. You’ve learned how you need help from above in being content with what God gives.

This is why St. Paul instructs young Pastor Timothy in this way:

“But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and[a] we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.” (1 Tim 6:6–10)

Our sufficiency is not of ourselves; it is in God. Let us learn this without sin by training our flesh this Lenten season.

REFORMATION 500: 1520 in Review

In March 1520 Luther wrote “Treatise on Good Works” (AE 44.15–114). This catechetical pamphlet is a pastoral companion to Luther’s “Fourteen Consolations” (see last month) and was written as a gift to Duke John, brother and heir of Elector Frederick the Wise. Because of his emphasis on faith and the recovery of the doctrine of justification, Luther was being accused of denying good works in the Christian life. In Luther’s later years, as in our present situation, there were theologians who rejected the use of the law for Christians (called antinomianism, “anti-law”). This treatise rejects that error.

Luther’s “Treatise on Good Works” introduces the necessity of God’s word and commandment for works to be truly good. “The first thing to know is that there are no good works except those works God has commanded, just as there is no sin except which God has forbidden” (23). Throughout the treatise, Luther rejects the contrived works of the Roman Catholic church of his day, by which Christians were supposed to earn favor with God and eternal salvation.

Luther then praised faith in God, not only as the sole way by which we are saved, but also as the source of all good works. This theme runs through the entire treatise. “The first, highest, and most precious of all good works is faith in Christ.” Faith is “the good work of God,” the work He works in us and which becomes our own by His grace (23). He writes, “Now see why I exalt faith so much, include all works under it, and reject all works which do not flow from it!” (25). He quoted Romans 14:23, “Whatsoever is not done of faith or in faith is sin.” Good works are done by the Christian “gladly and willingly,” “in a glad, peaceful, and confident heart” (27).

Luther then introduced the Bible’s teaching on vocation, the stations into which God places a person as a husband, wife, father, mother, son, daughter, preacher, hearer, citizen, ruler, worker, etc. God created each vocation by His Word and calls a person into it. All works done within a Christian’s vocation are good works, even the most mundane of daily activities. Here Luther overthrew the distinction between “spiritual” and “common” works. “Let all our works be good whatever they may be, without any distinction” (24–25). This teaching is found in the Small Catechism’s Table of Duties, where we read “certain passages of Scripture for various holy orders and positions, admonishing them about their duties and responsibilities.” This Biblical teaching on vocation replaced the Roman Catholic vision and teaching of the Christian life.

In the body of the treatise Luther reviewed the 10 Commandments, dividing them according to the Two Tables of the law: love for God and love for the neighbor. He called the 1st Commandment “the highest and the best, from which all others proceed, in which they exist and by which they are judged and assessed” (30), because it commands and teaches faith. Luther kept faith in Christ as the central point: “Faith, therefore, does not originate in works, neither do works create faith, but faith must spring up and flow from the blood and wounds and death of Christ” (38).

In the 2nd Commandment, regarding God’s name, we are “to praise, preach, sing, and in every way magnify God’s glory, honor, and name” (39). The works of this commandment include being on guard against seeking the honor of one’s own name, praying to God in every need, and not to misuse God’s name. We do this both by proclaiming His name (His Word) to all men and by protecting it against all misuse. Likewise, the works of the 3rd Commandment are to attend to the service of Holy Communion, hear the sermon regarding Christ’s testament for us, and pray, especially with the whole congregation. Then follow the seven commandments of the Second Table.

Here I Stand

Marriage leads to childbearing. This is God’s design and blessing for man. This is why we are created male and female: “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it” (Genesis 1:28). Marriage is the intended place of childbearing. So the old Latin word for marriage comes into English as matrimony, the “motherhood estate.” God’s 6th Commandment forbids the marriage act outside of marriage for the sake of motherhood within marriage. Sexual purity is intended to serve marriage, to bless fatherhood and motherhood. We are created and endowed with marriage for the sake of conceiving and bearing children.

In our sin-corrupted world, childbearing has become excessively burdened with futility and pain (Romans 8:18–25). God has withheld children from some, to the grief and pain of all their family. Others conceive and bear children without marriage, contrary to God’s will. Many others choose not to bear children, or they refuse all but one or two children. Almost daily we hear reports of the disastrously low birthrate in countries around the world, a self-inflicted judgment of God upon home and church and community.

This is a profoundly human catastrophe. What many have learned to their sorrow is that deliberately childless marriages are barren, cold, and fruitless. Homes, churches, and communities bereft of children are also bereft of a future and of purpose and meaning to their plans. They have lost the gaiety, laughter, and childish innocence that children give to us. Marriages that suffer self-appointed barrenness become self-centered and self-serving.

The Bible teaches—and the world used to know—that children are divinely good gifts from God. The gift of children is marked by earthly joy (John 16:21), mirth, and optimism for the future. Childbearing is a personal and marital commitment to self-giving and self-denying love. To bear children in marriage is to defy the world’s long despair and to commit oneself unreservedly to the future of man. Childbearing is the fulfillment of the divine purpose for marriage.

Every new child born into the household is the richest and best earthly gift we can give to the other children, especially the youngest (until the day we can give each one a godly wife or husband). The birth of each new child takes the last one out of the unhappy and lonely center of his universe and teaches him to discover that earthly joy is found in relation to the beloved others that God gives us.

The hosts of the devil have marshalled many weapons against childbearing within marriage: Marriage is sold as a social or personal construct (rather than a divine institution), to be used for selfish ends. Young women are deceived and pressured into valuing career and personal self-fulfillment over the divine truths of purpose and submissive self-giving in marriage and motherhood. Birth prevention technology is readily available. Fears of overpopulation and environmental destruction are used to intimidate the young husband and wife. Having many children is scorned, mocked, and treated as irresponsible. Parents covet a high standard of living which is incompatible with many children. Parents are seduced into taking on unrealistic expectations for their children and their children’s future careers. They fear, love, and trust in many things above the God who gave marriage to man.

In contrast, we confess that childbearing is a lifelong work of love. Its preparation begins for each person in his own conception, birth, Baptism, and childhood. It bears fruit in the marriage of a man and a woman, in the marriage act by which each child is conceived. It continues in the physical and spiritual birth and growth of each child. It includes bringing up each child in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4), in ushering the child into an adulthood of service in the home, church, and community. It is crowned in the marriage of these children and the precious gift of grandchildren. It is the duty of every Christian to support and encourage childbearing marriages with their love, prayers, resources, and time.

Christians confess that childbearing is the gift and good work of husband and wife, commanded and praised by God. Their children are gifts that they give to their family, to their church, and to their community and the world. And they are eternal gifts, for God has appointed husband and wife the honor of begetting and conceiving, bearing and rearing immortal beings, for whom He gave His own

beloved Son into death, that they may dwell in glory with Him forever.
