\u201cThe Basics\u201d \u2013 Jude 20-25<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Jude: An unfamiliar New Testament book<\/h4>\n

Last Sunday I started by explaining that there are parts of the Old Testament that are quite unfamiliar to us. Today, we have to make that same admission about the book of Jude in the New Testament. Who can even think of one famous verse from the book of Jude? Maybe that\u2019s because it\u2019s only 25 verses long. The majority of those 25 verses are a caution against false teachers, and they are spoken of in reference to several Old Testament stories and characters: the Israelites in Egypt, Sodom and Gomorrah, Moses, Balaam, Enoch, and Adam. Even the archangel, Michael, is identified as contending with the devil. Jude\u2019s appeal through all of this is for his readers to contend for the faith in the face of ungodly people who pervert the truth about God\u2019s grace in Christ Jesus. The last few verses are a call to persevere during the last days when scoffers who do not have the Spirit of God will try to deceive people. Oh, and did you know that early Christian writers claim that the author, Jude, is the son of Mary and Joseph, and a half-brother of Jesus, Himself? That makes this book authoritative and reliable, even though Jude wasn\u2019t one of the twelve apostles.<\/p>\n

Sometimes life gets complicated by busy-ness, by details, by appointments, by responsibilities, by the complexities of living in a bustling many-faceted 21st<\/sup> century world. Sometimes, when life gets complicated like that, we can lose sight of the very basic things that we, as Christians, need and thrive on. As we approach the season preparing for Christmas celebrations \u2013 a season that just adds to the complexities of life \u2013 I want to use the words of the refrain of a 1992 song by a group named \u201c4 Him\u201d to remind you of the very basics for our Christian walk with God. The song was called \u201cBack to the Basics\u201d and it lists four basics that really fit into and can be drawn from our Epistle Reading from Jude 20-25. So, let\u2019s consider these basic things which impact and influence our Christian life as we wait for the return of Christ.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. A heart that is pure<\/h4>\n

A verse from Psalm 24 led us into our confession of sins this morning. Psalm 24 has an Advent theme to it, as it talks about the King of Glory, the Lord strong and mighty, coming into the gates and doors of the Holy City. Earlier in the psalm it asked about what person may come to the city and stand in the holy place. The answer was that only that person who has clean hands and a pure heart can approach the holy place and stand in the very presence of the Lord. Who here today can honestly say that you have cleans hands (that is, good and honorable actions) and a pure heart (that is right attitudes and motives)? None of us is by nature clean and honorable and inwardly pure. In fact, sometimes our confession of sins admits exactly the opposite \u2013 \u201cthat we are by nature sinful and unclean.\u201d We have confessed our sins this morning and our hands and hearts have been affected in a positive way, a grace way. The words that we used from Psalm 51 prayed that God would create a pure heart and a steadfast and solid spirit within us. Only God, through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, can make our hearts pure and suitable to come before Him in reverence and humility. This is what Jude 24 says, too: \u201cTo Him \u2013 that is, to God \u2013 who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of His glory with great joy \u2013 to [Him]\u2026 be glory\u2026\u201d Blameless means pure\u2026 pure in heart. God makes us pure in heart, holy, righteous by forgiving our sins for the sake of Jesus, our Saviour. It\u2019s only because of Jesus that we can stand, head up, eyes up, hands clean, hearts pure, before God.<\/p>\n

When we know that God has made us pure, one of the basics of life is to live who we are, and what we are\u2026 to live pure and holy.<\/p>\n

A farmer sold his home made cottage cheese and apple butter at the Farmers\u2019 Market each week. He transported them in two large tubs, from which he ladled the cottage cheese or apple butter into smaller containers the customers brought. One day he got to the market and discovered he had forgotten one ladle. He felt he had no choice but to use the one he had for both products. Before long, after dipping from one tub and then the other, he could no longer tell which was which.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the way it is when our lives, our hearts, get dipped back and forth between the Word and the world. Pretty soon we aren\u2019t sure what\u2019s of God and what\u2019s of the world. Let me give you a couple of examples:<\/p>\n

You dip your heart into God\u2019s Word and hear the Commandment \u201cYou shall not murder.\u201d You dip your life into the world which calls Medical Assistance in Dying mercy for the terminally suffering. It gets confusing, and you can\u2019t tell what is good and Godly.<\/p>\n

You dip your life into the world and buy lottery tickets for some honourable charity. You dip your heart into God\u2019s Word, and hear that the \u201clove of money is the root of all kinds of evils.\u201d So, are you buying that lottery ticket to give to charity or for the hope of a big win? It gets confusing, and you can\u2019t tell where your heart\u2019s motivation is.<\/p>\n

Jude\u2019s way of stating this is: \u201cHate even the garment stained by the flesh \/ the world.\u201d Keep unstained from the world. Keep the cottage cheese separate from the apple butter. Keep the things of God separate from the world. Keep the things of God pure. Dip into God\u2019s Word regularly. Drink long and hard and deep from its pure truths, and your heart will also become and remain pure.<\/p>\n

In the Beatitudes, what did Jesus say of the pure in heart?? \u201cBlessed are the pure in heart for\u2026 they will see God.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. A love that is blind<\/h4>\n

Speaking of seeing\u2026 the second basic mentioned in the song is \u201ca love that can\u2019t see, a love that is blind.\u201d What does the author of the song mean? Possibly, probably a love that doesn\u2019t discriminate. It doesn\u2019t see or distinguish based on colour of skin, or age, or appearance, or ethnic background, or mental or physical ability, or social standing. A love that is blind doesn\u2019t act one way with one group of people and another way with a different group. It is blind to the personal differences, and just loves without judging who or why. Please note that that love is not blind to the actions of a person. True love does not just turn a blind eye to what another person says or does that is wrong, ungodly, sinful. True love does not indiscriminately forgive without first calling for repentance and reconciliation and a sincere desire to change. But true, God-pleasing love does not discriminate based on outward appearance.<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t that the moral of the parable of the Good Samaritan? The two Jews \u2013 religious ones, at that \u2013 didn\u2019t help their fellow Jew who had been beaten and robbed and left by the side of the road. It was a foreigner, a despised Samaritan with a love that was blind, who stopped to help the dying Jewish man and nurse him back to health and strength. He didn\u2019t tally up the monetary or emotional cost of helping the man in need. He turned a blind eye to national, ethnic and even spiritual differences and simply did what Jesus said, \u201cLove your neighbour as you love yourself.\u201d Rabbi Ben Julius wrote: \u201cLove is not blind\u2026 it sees more, not less. But because it sees more, it is willing to see less.\u201d We can be quite certain that the Samaritan knew what a Jew looked like. He knew this was a Jew at the side of the road, but he was willing to see less of the distinctions, and determined simply that this was a man in need, a man who needed someone else to show love to him. The way Jude put it is \u201cto others show mercy\u201d \u2013 mercy being undeserved kindness, or love.<\/p>\n

God\u2019s love is like that, too\u2026 it is willing to see less, even though it sees more. God is willing to see less of your sins. God looks at your life with something like X-ray vision. He sees right into your life, right through you. He knows your weaknesses, your failures, your past\u2026 He knows your sins. He knows you better than you know yourself. But He also loves you so much that He did something about it. He sent His only-begotten Son, Jesus, to suffer and to die on the cross to forgive you all your sins. Because of Jesus, God is willing to look long and hard at your life, but to see less rather than more of your sins. He looks for your sins, but what He sees is Jesus with His purity and holiness and forgiveness.<\/p>\n

Peter Miller was a Baptist pastor and friend of George Washington during the American Revolution. Michael Wittman lived in Miller\u2019s town and did all he could to oppose and humiliate the pastor. One day Michael Wittman was arrested for treason and sentenced to die. Peter Miller traveled seventy miles on foot to Philadelphia to plead for the life of the traitor. General Washington, however, announced: \u201cI cannot grant you the life of your friend!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy friend?!!\u201d exclaimed the old preacher. \u201cHe\u2019s the bitterest enemy I have.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d cried Washington. \u201cYou\u2019ve walked seventy miles to save the life of an enemy? That puts the matter in different light. I\u2019ll grant your pardon.\u201d<\/p>\n

And he did. Peter Miller took Michael Wittman back home\u2026 no longer an enemy but a friend.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s love that is willing to be blind, and to see less. That\u2019s love that just loves\u2026 no holds barred. It\u2019s a love that loves God, and then also loves a neighbor \u2013 even if that neighbor is an enemy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. A faith that is fervently grounded in Christ<\/h4>\n

The third basic thing in the refrain of that song is \u201ca faith that is fervently grounded in Christ. What Jude says is: \u201cBuild yourselves up in your most holy faith.\u201d When you hear the word \u2018build\u2019 it\u2019s easy to think of a \u2018building\u2019 and Jesus\u2019 famous story of the two men who built their houses on different foundations. The man who built his house on sandy ground saw his home totter and fall when the winds and the rains came. But the man who built his house on the solid foundation of a rock enjoyed the warmth and stability of a home that withstood the elements. Isn\u2019t that what we all needed earlier this week when the atmospheric river poured rain and winds onto our little homes?<\/p>\n

I remember as a young pastor going to LaRonge, Saskatchewan for a pastors\u2019 conference. I took a photo of the local church because, I was told, the entire church was built on one rock at the start of the Canadian shield. It beautifully illustrates the point of Jesus\u2019 story. That church wasn\u2019t going anywhere because it was built on a solid foundation.<\/p>\n

That parable of Jesus was not primarily referring to construction techniques, but rather on what you build your life. Just like the rock solid foundation for that man\u2019s home, or for that church, we all need a rock solid foundation for our lives \u2013 something, someone that will not quiver and shake and totter with the changing of the times, with the floods and storms of life.<\/p>\n

That someone is Jesus. Today\u2019s people attempt to build their lives and stake their raison d\u2019etre on various things. Some build their lives on themselves, looking for meaning from within. \u00a0Others look for guidance from the stars, which is really guidance from someone who professes to interpret the stars. Others follow the teachings of some wise man of a faraway country or a long-ago time. The trouble with all of these foundations for one\u2019s life is that they are based on created things \/ people. People change, values change, motives change. That makes a human foundation shaky and sandy.<\/p>\n

Because Jesus is not a created being but rather of one substance with the creator of all, only He is an unchanging foundation. Hebrews 13 reminds us that \u201cJesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our faith is grounded in the teachings of Jesus Christ who knows all the ins and outs of life because He created life in the first place. He knows what makes us tick, and has not only told us how to live in relationship with God and others, but also modeled it. Then, because He knew we wouldn\u2019t and couldn\u2019t live up to those holy standards, He laid down His life on the cross so that we could be forgiven for all our sins. Our faith is grounded in Jesus\u2019 innocent death and the forgiveness that He earned for us by dying in our place. Our faith is likewise grounded in Jesus\u2019 resurrection from the dead \u2013 proof that He was indeed God, proof that He is worth building our lives on. We\u2019re going to capture ALL of that in a few minutes in one of our Communion songs \u2013 \u201cIn Christ Alone Our Hope is Found…\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. A hope that endures for all time<\/h4>\n

That leads us to the fourth basic\u2026 hope. 4 Him sang about a \u201chope that endures for all time.\u201d Hope is a funny thing, a future thing. I hope that my car will start when it\u2019s cold outside. I hope that my grandkids will marry a Christian spouse. I hope that my team will win the championship. In each of those cases, the desire is yet unseen, the hope is uncertain, but I am optimistic.<\/p>\n

Florence Chadwick waded into the water off Catalina Island on July 4, 1952. She intended to swim the channel from the island to the California coast. She had been the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions. However, that day the water was numbing cold, and the fog was so thick she could hardly see the boats in her party. Several times sharks had to be driven away with rifle fire. She swam for more than fifteen hours before she asked to be taken out of the water. Her trainer tried to encourage her to swim on since they were so close to land, but when Florence looked all she saw was fog. So she quit\u2026 only \u00bd mile from her goal. It wasn\u2019t the cold or fear, neither the sharks nor the exhaustion that caused Florence Chadwick to fail. It was the fog. It was the fact that she couldn\u2019t see her goal. She had lost her hope.<\/p>\n

In Jesus Christ we have a hope that keeps us going despite the fact that we can\u2019t see it. One of the basics of the Christian faith is hope. Hope keeps us going when the perils of living in this world threaten and discourage us. Hope helps us to see beyond the present and into the future. That hope is for the return of Jesus, for deliverance from the evils of this world, and for the joyful receiving of God\u2019s promised gifts of salvation and eternal life in heaven with God. This is the way Jude said it: \u201cwaiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.\u201d That is our hope.<\/p>\n

In a Christian sense, when hope is based on God or a promise of God it moves very easily from mere optimism to trust and confident faith. In fact, hope fixed on God embraces the three elements of expectation of the future, trust, and the patience of waiting but knowing that what you hope for will come true. We know<\/strong> that Jesus is coming back to take us home, because God who promised it is faithful.<\/p>\n

In summary, the song by 4 Him and the words of Jude direct us back to the basics: a heart that is pure, a love that is blind, a faith that is fervently grounded in Christ, and a hope that endures for all time. It actually reminds me of that famous verse in 1 Corinthians 13:13 \u2013 \u201cNow faith, hope, and love abide, these three\u2026\u201d these three basic things that make our hearts pure and that shape our lives. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
