Corner “The cynics are wrong.” (President Barack Obama)

The Reverend Nathanael Saint-Pierre

Every time the name of Jonah is mentioned, we think of the fairy tale of a man travelling in the belly of

a big fish. But it is important to dig a little deeper into the story to comprehend it better. Jonah was

called by God to go to Nineveh and announce the punishment God was about to inflict on the people

there. Jonah was called to prophesy (preach or write with divine inspiration, speak on behalf of God).

He did not want to go; instead, he ran away, away toward larshish, away from the presence of God.

Today the story of Jonah should inspire those of us who think we can play games with the Lord or run

away.

L So Jonah runs away, but God sends a storm. Jonah tries to flee on a boat but the sailors are more

pious than he is; eventually they reluctantly throw Jonah overboard to save their lives. The sea calmsThe Rev. NathanaelS. e down immediately, and God appoints a big fish to swallow Jonah. Sometimes to save the boat from

Priest-In-Charge the storm we need to throw someone overboard. But we need to pray for the sea to calm down after

that, because it is terrible to throw the wrong person overboard and find that the sea is still agitated, the storm still devastating.

Jonah, totally immersed in sea water and fish blubber, does indeed sing a prayer: “You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the

seas, and the flood surrounded me.” The sea in the ancient Near East, of course, is the symbol of chaos, of danger, of wildness.

But even in the heart of the seas, God hears Jonah’s prayer. God speaks to the great fish, and the fish vomits him out onto dry

land.

That’s where we enter the story in the Old Testament reading selected for today. ‘The word of the LORD came to Jonah a second

time, ‘Get up and go to Nineveh, that great city.’ “ And, this time, still covered in sea water and fish vomit, Jonah obeys. He walks

into the city, one day’s journey, and preaches the shortest sermon ever recorded. It’s a sermon of 5 words in Hebrew -- “Forty

days more, and Nineveh will be overthrown!”

If this sermon were to be preached nowadays, one can only guess how such a message would be translated. Being called to de

liver such a message is a huge responsibility and trying to trivialize it in any way is not mocking the actors involved, it is mocking

God himself. Some of us may not realize it, but being called to ordained ministry, being called to be warden or vestry member,

being called to be baptized or confirmed, is really not a game. It is to be called to a position of responsibility, a responsibility to

ponder and to be sure we can carry. The calling is not a time to ridicule God, to find ways to fool God, to create intrigues and ma-

nipulate ballots, to affempt to find shortcuts to get to positions of authority without legitimacy. Doing all of the above is to exhibit

lack of judgment. People need to be told about the consequences of running away from the presence of God. People need to be

told about the consequences of swimming in the ocean of darkness.

It was not easy when Jesus called Peter, Andrew, John and James from their labor to leave ALL they were doing and follow him.

What they had been doing was all they knew how to do. That was what they had been doing all their lives. But an epiphany is the

sudden realization that when we are called, our lives are forever changed. It is also the realization that God himself has forever

changed and nothing can go back to where it was before. The tendency to maintain the status quo is cheating on God’s plan. We

need to be open to the unexpected in which “God will shake us up, God will shape us up and God will even choke us.” By

answering their call, Peter, Andrew, John and James were changed from fisherman to fishers of men. By answering our calls and

not making a game of them, our lives will change and we can impact the lives of others. “The cynics are wrong.”

Jonah 3:1-5, 10

Jonah re[uctantty travels to Nineveh and warns the citizens of God’s judgment. Whenthey heed the warning and repent, God spares them.

A reading (lesson) from the Book of Jonah:

The word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time, saying, “Get up, go to Nineveh,that great city, and proclaim to it the message that I tet[ you.” So Jonah set out andwent to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedinglytarge city, a three days’ walk across. Jonah began to go into the city, going a day’swalk. And he cried out, “Forty days more, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!” And thepeople of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast, and everyone, great andsmall, put on sackcloth.

When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil ways, God changed hismind about the calamity that he had said he would bring upon them; and he did not doit.

The Word of the Lord Thanks be to God

The Gospel

Mark 1:14-20

Jesus begins his ministry, preaching that God’s kingdom is near. Simon and his brotherAndrew respond by Leaving everything and fottowing Jesus. Later James and his brotherJohn do the same.

A reading (tesson) from the Gospel according to Mark:

Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Gatitee, proctaiming the good news ofGod, and saying, “The time is futfitted, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent,and betieve in the good news.”

As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew castinga net into the sea-- for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, “Fottow me and Iwilt make you fish for peop[e.” And immediatety they [eft their nets and fo[[owed him.As he went a tittte farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John, whowere in their boat mending the nets. Immediatety he called them; and they left theirfather Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and foUowed him.

Conctude with The Gospel of the Lord

Sermon: Fr. Nathanaet: “The cynics are wrong”

Every time the name of Jonah is mentioned, we think of the fairy tate of a mantravetting in the be[[y of a big fish. But it is important to dig a [itt[e deeper into thestory to comprehend it better. Jonah was catted by God to go to Nineveh and announcethe punishment God was about to inftict on the peop[e there. Jonah was catted toprophesy (preach or write with divine inspiration, speak on behatf of God). He did notwant to go; instead, he ran away, away toward Tarshish, away from the presence ofGod. Today the story of Jonah should inspire those of us who think we can pLay gameswith the Lord or run away.

January 25, 2015

So Jonah runs away, but God sends a storm. Jonah tries to flee on a boat but

the sailors are more pious than he is; eventuatty they retuctantly throw Jonah

overboard to save their lives. The sea catms down immediatety, and God appoints a big

fish to swaUow Jonah. Sometimes to save the boat from the storm we need to throw

someone overboard. But we need to pray for the sea to catm down after that, because

it is terrible to throw the wrong person overboard and find that the sea is stiLt agitated,

the storm stilt devastating.

Jonah, totatty immersed in sea water and fish btubber, does indeed sing a prayer: “You

cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the ftood surrounded me.” The

sea in the ancient Near East, of course, is the symbot of chaos, of danger, of witdness.

But even in the heart of the seas, God hears Jonah’s prayer. God speaks to the great

fish, and the fish vomits him out onto dry tand.

That’s where we enter the story in the Otd Testament reading setected for today. “The

word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time, ‘Get up and go to Nineveh, that great

city.’ “ And, this time, stitt covered in sea water and fish vomit, Jonah obeys. He watks

into the city, one day’s journey, and preaches the shortest sermon ever recorded. It’s a

sermon of 5 words in Hebrew -- “Forty days more, and Nineveh witt be overthrown!”

If this sermon were to be preached nowadays, one can onty guess how such a message

woutd be transtated. Being catted to detiver such a message is a huge responsibitity and

trying to trivia[ize it in any way is not mocking the actors invotved, it is mocking God

himsetf. Some of us may not reatize it, but being catted to ordained ministry, being

catted to be warden or vestry member, being catted to be baptized or

confirmed, is reatty not a game. It is to be catted to a position of responsibitity, a

responsibitity to ponder and to be sure we can carry. The catting is not a time to

ridicute God, to find ways to foot God, to create intrigues and maniputate battots, to

attempt to find shortcuts to get to positions of authority without tegitimacy. Doing att

of the above is to exhibit tack of judgment. Peopte need to be totd about the

consequences of running away from the presence of God. Peopte need to be totd about

the consequences of swimming in the ocean of darkness.

It was not easy when Jesus catted Peter, Andrew, John and James from their tabor to

teave ALL they were doing and fottow him. What they had been doing was att they knew

how to do. That was what they had been doing att their tives. But an epiphany is

the sudden reatization that when we are catted, our tives are forever changed. It is atso

the reatization that God himsetf has forever changed and nothing can

5



go back to where it was before. The tendency to maintain the status quo is cheating onGod’s plan. We need to be open to the unexpected in which “God wilt shake us up,God will shape us up and God will even choke us.” By answering their caD, Peter,Andrew, John and James were changed from fisherman to fishers of men. Byanswering our caDs and not making a game of them, our lives witt change and we canimpact the Lives of others. “The cynics are wrong.”

Then the Cetebrant continues

Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite tove you made us for yourself; and, when we

had fat[en into sin and become subject to evit and death, you, in your mercy, sent

Jesus Christ, your only and eterna[ Son, to share our human nature, to live and die as

one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of att.

He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himse[f in obedience to your

will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole wortd.

At the fottowing words concerning the bread, the Cetebrant is to hotd it or tay a hand upon it; and at the words

concerning the cup, to hotd or ptace a hand upon the cup and any other vesset containing wine to be consecrated.

On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, our Lord Jesus Christ took

bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciptes,

and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you and for att. Do this for the

remembrance of me.”

After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to

them, and said, “Drink this, att of you: This is my Btood of the new Covenant, which is

shed for you and for att for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for

the remembrance of me.”

Therefore we proctaim the mystery of faith:

Cetebrant and Peopte

Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

The Cetebrant continues

We cetebrate the memoriat of our redemption, 0 Father, in this sacrifice of praise and

thanksgiving. Recatting his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts.
