PROCLAIM THE GLORY OF THE LORD SERMON TEXT: ISAIAH 52:7-10
HE (the LORD) HAS REDEEMED JERUSALEM. THE LORD WILL LAY
BARE HIS HOLY ARM IN THE SIGHT
OF ALL THE NATIONS, AND ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH
WILL SEE THE SALVATION OF OUR GOD.
This is the Word of our Lord; Let us pray:
Glorious and gracious God, may the words
of my mouth and the meditation of each of our hearts
be acceptable in Your sight,
our only source of
hope and comfort. Amen.
Pastor Dave motions and waits for the
congregation to be seated comfortably before
continuing with the sermon.
Dear Followers of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Did any of you turn the news
on this morning while you were getting ready
for church? Maybe while you were
eating breakfast.
Did you ever notice anything about the news on
Christmas Day? It's pretty worthless.
I mean unless something really, truly major would
happen, nothing seems
to get reported. Everybody's off doing something ...
we have great stories about people feeding the homeless; we
have stories about the other services that were held, but
there really isn't anything new!
I mean we have a big blizzard going on back East ...
So at least the weather channel has something exciting
to hear this morning. CNN Headline News was
playing their entertainment report from
last night. But there is great ...
news ... this morning!
Great news that you and I have,
that has come to us from God Himself
ABOUT God Himself.
That God has revealed His glory in His Son,
Jesus Christ.
That He has saved us. And the Prophet Isaiah
reminds us this morning that WE are to be the ones
to proclaim the glory of God.
You and I are the ones who today and every day ...
every day of our life
are out there shouting to the people;
reminding the believers your God reigns,
Isaiah says. He has come. He has
brought us joy. He has brought us salvation.
We have SEEN His glory
in Jesus Christ and how truly amazing that is.
That God the Father,
sent Jesus Christ, His Son
into this world to be the radiance of
His glory. So that people
could hear His voice and
see in Him the Truths of God.
We know how tremendously special that is
when we recall our Old Testament lesson.
When Moses, that great leader of faith
in the Old Testament on Mt. Sinai
said to God: I want to see Your glory.
Show me Your glory. And the LORD said to him:
I will ... but realize you
can't look at My face. You can't
look at My face in your sinful state
but I will reveal My Glory to you
first and foremost in My Name ...
the LORD ... the LORD.
The One who's compassionate. The One who's
gracious ... The One who is
abounding in love and mercy.
Who for years and years and years took
His own people to prepare them to receive Me,
their Messiah. The One who was going to
deal with their sin. He was the Savior-God, the
God of the Covenant that He had made with people.
That God Himself was
going to keep. He was going to show people, His love
in a most beautiful
and miraculous way. Even
more so, when we hear Him passing before Moses
When He takes Moses and He
tucks him in to the side of that rock.
And He says: I'm going to put My hand
in front of you so that you can't see My face
until I pass by, and then you can see My back.
Then you will KNOW ...
the Glory of the LORD. I think we hear those words
and we're in AWE
of what that scene must have been like as
Moses was talking to that Rock.
And the LORD passed by proclaiming His Name.
Proclaiming that HE IS the Savior-God.
The One who is going to deal with people's sins.
The One who is going to show them His love and
His abounding grace.
And we saw that in our Gospel lesson ...
How God, the Father, did not abandon His plan.
But He carried it out.
He prepared the world at that time
to receive His Son through John the Baptist.
There were people of God LOOKING for the Messiah.
They were LONGING to see Him.
They came up to John and they even went up to him
thinking he was the One! He was the Christ! He was
the Messiah of God! And John very clearly told them all:
I am NOT the Light!
I am NOT that One. The One who comes after me,
I am not even worthy to untie the thongs of
His sandals. And there we see
that greater miracle of God that He ...
gave His Son,
into this world.
The Son of God taking on our human
flesh ... and blood.
To be born into this world.
To show people God's love.
To teach them of God's forgiveness.
To be active, in carrying out
the will of God, the Father.
Obeying each and every command that God
had set and laid down, that human beings couldn't keep.
And He lived that
perfect life. He died that perfect death.
And as the Letter to the Hebrews reminds us,
we have seen that through the eyes of faith.
That has been recorded for us
what God did in taking care
of our sins.
In shattering our darkness. In breaking the yoke
that restrained us, so we couldn't be free.
But we NOW are free!
We are free in the forgiveness of God's Son
who sits in God's heaven at this very moment
as His One and Only
beloved Son. And we are to give glory
to the Name that is above all names.
The Name of our Savior.
The One that has brought to us the forgiveness of sins; who
is our King that we will fall before Him for all eternity,
singing glory and praise for what He has done.
As Isaiah reminds us, He is the One who
came to the ruins of Jerusalem
and restored them. He is the One who comes to us
in our ruined state and restores us
by the power of His working.
By what He has done.
And for that, we rejoice!
That is the Good News of our lives! We are the
watchman that Isaiah says and tells people to be quiet and
listen for. We are the ones who have the Good News.
We are the ones who have the salvation of our God.
When Isaiah says, proclaim that Glory to God,
that is yours who loves you.
Revere His Name.
Hold it sacred. Carry it with you and
proclaim it in your life ...
to a world that so needs to know that Jesus IS
the ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN.
He is the Plan that God, the Father, set up and carried out
and delivered out into this world.
To deliver us OUT of this world
into our heavenly home.
That Name of Jesus is sweet in our hearing,
And we honor it. And we respect it.
And we praise it each and every day as we pray to Him
for all of our needs to be met.
With all of the thanks that we have from
hearts that are filled with the knowledge that
we ARE the children of God.
Let us hold it sacred and
let's share it with the world that is still in darkness.
The world that John reminds us:
God Himself made.
Jesus was the Word that was present at creation.
He came into this world to save it.
And it saddens us to know that there are still people in this
world who do not recognize Him,
who do not see Him.
Who do not have eternal life ...
because nobody told them the Good News.
No one has cried from the rooftops who the Lord of the
universe is ... and who the Savior is.
And WE HAVE THAT KNOWLEDGE.
That Name that was written on our hearts
at our baptism is ours by faith and
we hold it SO dear.
Today we remind ourselves of the joy that is ours.
The joy that fills our hearts.
That will be abundant in our life, as we go out
and proclaim the Glory of the LORD.
Amen.
Let us rise.
Now may the peace of God which goes beyond
all of our understanding, keep your hearts and your minds and
especially your lives in the one true faith unto life
everlasting.
Amen.
