One overwhelming theme of our present culture is the theme of tolerance: nobody has any right to pass judgment on anyone else. This non-judging culture has created a non-judging Jesus in its own image. But, we must ask, is that the true Jesus?

We love the many names and titles of Jesus...But what about this name for Jesus? SIN. Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians that, “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us.”

His first appearance on the earth was anything but noteworthy. No fanfare, no birth announcements, no splashy headlines in the Nazareth Gazette; his birth hardly caused a ripple.

You really are perfect because you are in him, the very Son of God, who completely and perfectly lived, died, and lives again for you. Listen to Hebrews 7:25, “Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.”

My first time at the Lutheran Brethren Seminary J-Term was a helpful and encouraging experience. I was looking forward to “getting my feet wet” in Lutheran Brethren circles and this was a great way to start. Learning from Dr. Ethan Christofferson, one of our missionaries to the Hakka people of Taiwan, was a highlight.

It’s been the most uncomfortable, soul-churning, excruciating journey I’ve ever experienced. Flood waters in our neighborhood rose to cover our entire main floor within a few days of the June 22 evacuation. The water disappeared in July, but the flood remains. For 4,000 families in the Minot, North Dakota area, it will continue for months and even years.

In the early 90s the Michigan Wolverines had a group of basketball players known as “The Fab Five.” In the early 2010s the Lutheran Brethren found a group of five godly men that, I believe, deserve the title “The Fab Five” even more. Their impact on pastors and congregations in the Lutheran Brethren is what makes our Regional Pastors a team that is truly fabulous.

Like the people of Judea, our expectations of Jesus don’t always match the promises made to us in Scripture. We want to shape and mold Jesus into our own personal god. A god that protects our finances, our families, and our freedoms. This is a king we can accept, but is it the king we need? Scripture is always challenging us to see the big picture.

Have you been praying for a specific request for months, even years? If you are praying this way, it is evidence of your faith. You believe that God can answer your prayer. If you didn’t believe that, you would stop bringing that request to God, wouldn’t you? Your perseverance in prayer reflects your faith.

When Jesus walked this earth, it was not as the agent of God. Jesus did not enter the temple as God’s agent to judge corruption any more than he was simply God’s representative dying on the cross for our salvation. He was not just an agent of God. He is God—in the flesh. God died on the cross for sinners.
