Text: \u00a0Luke 17:11-19; Philippians 4; Psalm 67
\n<\/strong>Theme: \u201cThanksgiving every day\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n

___________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n

Intr<\/strong> \u2013 (There are 97 coffee cups spread around the Church. Each of them with a list of daily life blessings) (Pastor brings a coffee cup to the Pulpit) <\/em><\/p>\n

Many of us are coffee lovers. We like to have one every so often (or more than one); perhaps one every day. There are 97 coffee cups spread around the Church today. They are from the last so many months so since I started gathering them after having my (almost) daily coffee.<\/p>\n

Why are they here? The first reason is to illustrate that if you have coffee frequently, you probably don\u2019t realize how much you really drink as if you had every single cup you had in the past so many months in front of your eyes. That\u2019s when you realize its quantity and impact in your life. If you are not a coffee lover, pretend it is tea, latte, or anything else you take on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving is a date to celebrate and realize how much it was given to us in the past 12 months. However, as on this day, or weekend, we say, \u201cthank you!\u201d, there are all the other days in a year filled with God\u2019s blessings. As they flow into our lives daily, we can easily lose track of the sheer volume and significance of these gifts. We don\u2019t always realize the volume, grandiosity, and at the same time the simplicity and every detail of them. We forget how much is packed in it, and how much we can be thankful for today – and every day. \u00a0\u00a0This pile of cups is a visual illustration of the consistency with which God blesses us in our spiritual and material life.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why there is another, more important reason for all the coffee cups around you. In each of these cups there are lists of God\u2019s blessings that impact our life daily. Ninety-seven blessings in a list that could mount up to thousands, which prompt our gratitude and thankfulness.<\/p>\n

Gratitude<\/em>. We hear a lot about how a life of gratitude is essential, and how \u201cpeople who are grateful live better.\u201d Often, it is directed to something vague, like\u00a0 \u201cThe Universe, the cosmos, nature, luck\u201d and so on. There are different ways to approach gratitude and thankfulness, not all of them true and salutary. The readings for today gives us the solid ground where our thanksgiving is edified.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Luke 17:11-19<\/strong>: <\/strong>First, we find the reason for our gratitude: Jesus. He heals ten lepers, but only one\u2014a Samaritan\u2014returns to give thanks. All ten were healed, but only one realized the full depth of what had been given. Jesus\u2019 words to the thankful man are key: “Your faith has made you well.”<\/p>\n

One detail about the reading: the one who came back was a Samaritan, therefore, we could assume that the others were Jewish. It was not uncommon for the Jewish people to believe in healing from God especially if they followed certain the law and certain rules. Jesus tells them to follow a protocol that was current on the day, to go and present themselves to the priests. Therefore, they might have though, \u201cSince I followed the protocol, God healed me\u201d. They don\u2019t bother to come back to Jesus because they don\u2019t fail to associate the healing with Him. The Samaritan on this turn might not be familiar with the \u201cRite\u201d, so he realizes that the healing must have something to do with Jesus.<\/p>\n

In our daily life, we are tempted to give thanks to the Lord for many things because of us doing the right things<\/em>. We send our kids to the right school, we choose the right profession, we go to Church, we give our offering, we make good decisions\u2026 and we thank Jesus for being a good co-pilot<\/em> as we lead our lives. We are tempted to forget Jesus as the source of everything we are and do. An online speaker put it this way: people tend to attribute their success to their gifts and hard work. While that certainly plays a role in the process, normally people forget the luck factor. There\u2019s always something, someone or some event that happens, which is not controlled by us, that also is the cause of our good outcomes. Hard work + luck.<\/p>\n

What about us? Do we call it \u201cluck\u201d? Of course not. We call it providence<\/em><\/strong>. As Christians we certainly work hard for many things in life, but we always know that Providence, God\u2019s Grace and Care, are behind, and before, everything we do.[1]<\/a> We know he is the source of our blessings and the reason for our thanksgiving.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Philippians 4:6-20<\/strong>: In this passage we find foundation for our gratitude: Contentment<\/em>. Paul points us to daily life and says: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God” (v. 6). Gratitude flows from a content heart, one that rests in Jesus and knows He knows better. Whether we are in need or in plenty, God is our constant provider. This is something we have that is not in eveyone\u2019s heart: contentment<\/strong>: “I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances” (v. 11). You know when Paul says, \u201cI can do all things\u2026\u201d? Here is the context for that bold claim. He has learned to be content need or in plenty because he can do all those things in Christ who strengthens him<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving is a date where we don\u2019t only list the things we know and remember, but we place our hearts in complete trust in God\u2019s hands, knowing that He provides even in the moments when we don\u2019t see the abundance. He is faithful, and His peace guards our hearts.[2]<\/a><\/p>\n

Psalm 67<\/strong>: Here we see gratitude as a witness to the world. This psalm reminds us that God\u2019s blessings are not just for us\u2014they are meant to be a witness to the world. “May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us” (v. 1), the psalmist says, but notice the reason: “That your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations.” Thanksgiving is not just a private action, but it is also proclamation. God has blessed us. Now, we want to proclaim His goodness to all peoples, so that His name might be glorified among the nations.<\/p>\n

As we ask God\u2019s blessings, we at the same time acknowledge them. The food on our table, the clothes on our bodies, the roof over our heads \u2014 blessings that are given to us to so that we will not only give thanks to God, but also witness His goodness to others.[3]<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThat is beautiful, Pastor. A life of thanksgiving. I promise I\u2019ll try it from tomorrow on\u201d. We\u2019ve all been there. We really want it, we try it. But then, you know, daily life weighs in. Routine takes its grip on our mind, heart and will again. God\u2019s blessings seem now to be diluted in daily doses that go in the mix of life struggles, wins and blessings, and go out of our sight, therefore, out of our gratitude\u2026. Then, we have Thanksgiving. It is a date to remember that every day is filled with God\u2019s blessings. The ones he already gave; the ones he continues to give; the ones that are a certain hope for the future.<\/p>\n

As I said earlier, we have pieces of paper inside these cups listing 97 daily blessings God bestows in our lives. Let\u2019s remember some of these blessings. (Selects a list from one of the cups and reads). <\/em>By the way, as you leave the Church today, feel free to stoop down and take one of them with you to add to your list of daily reasons to be thankful to the Lord.<\/p>\n

As we go about our daily life, the message of Thanksgiving for God\u2019s gifts is there with us, for us, in us, for every day. For example, as we take a daily sip of coffee, and we know that the ground bean is nothing without water added to it, we might remember that our life ground under sin was made new with the water of Holy Baptism. If something to eat comes with it, this might remind us of God\u2019s food in his altar. Faith and daily life go together.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now, there\u2019s a reason I chose this exact number, 97 cups. I could have set a round, perfect number like 100, right? 97 is almost 100, but it is not 100. This odd number reminds us that we are sinners, who fall short from God\u2019s will, who are not thankful and faithful as we should. It reminds us that we depend totally on God\u2019s grace to be faithful and complete in our work. He hands out the cup of his love, Mercy and Grace, and we respond with thanksgiving to Him.<\/p>\n

Some say that coffee is not just a beverage for the body, it is also for the soul, in the way it brings memories, coziness, reporting us to good moments. Jesus is the real food our soul needs,<\/strong> the light in our path, the warmth for our heart. He is the One that both boosts and calms us. That makes us both more awake and makes us rest. The one that grinds sin under his cross and offers us fresh, warm forgiveness and peace to our hearts. As we move toward the end of the year and approach another Christmas season, let\u2019s not forget that God\u2019s gifts are not just for special occasions. They are for every day. Just as you might enjoy a cup of coffee each morning, we are invited to wake up to God\u2019s mercies, which are “new every morning” (Lamentations 3:23).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cc \u2013<\/strong> One last As much as you like coffee, you probably only enjoy it when it\u2019s\u2026 hot, right? After it goes cold, it loses its appeal. If you want a fresh cup, you need to refill it.<\/p>\n

In the same way, our faith needs to be refilled daily, kept warm by staying close to God through His Word and Sacraments. Thanksgiving isn\u2019t just a once-a-year event\u2014it\u2019s an ongoing life of staying close to the Source. Stay near to the warmth of God\u2019s love. We can go back to Him daily to be refilled by His grace, found in Christ, living in faith and gratitude.<\/p>\n

The reason for doing so? There are 97 x 97 of them. And counting.<\/p>\n

[1]<\/a> This passage recounts Jesus healing ten lepers, but only one\u2014a Samaritan\u2014returns to give thanks. The story contrasts the faith of the outsider with the ingratitude of the others. Jesus tells the Samaritan, “Your faith has made you well,” highlighting the connection between faith, healing, and salvation. The physical healing points to a deeper spiritual reality. The Samaritan’s gratitude and return to Jesus mark the proper response to God\u2019s grace\u2014acknowledgment and worship.<\/p>\n

This passage underscores the importance of faith as the means to receive God’s grace. The healing of the lepers can be seen as a reflection of the healing work of Christ in justification, where we are cleansed from sin. However, it is only faith that responds in true gratitude, acknowledging God as the source of all blessings. Luther often emphasized that faith is not simply intellectual assent but a living trust that turns back to God in thanksgiving. Moreover, the inclusion of a Samaritan illustrates the universality of God’s grace, which reaches beyond ethnic and religious boundaries\u2014underlining the inclusivity of the Gospel.<\/p>\n

This story reminds us of God\u2019s compassion not only for our spiritual but also for our physical health. We have reasons to thank Him for being the one who walks with us in sickness and health, to provide for our needs. Perhaps someone would say, \u201cbut what about the situation where a person is Christian but still is sick and waiting for healing?\u201d I\u2019m not saying this is easy to answer, but we have some clues. First, we are sinners, and sickness is a consequence of sins. If being a Christian was synonym to not falling ill, we would all live forever. Second, one day hard illnesses may knock at our door. But think about all the other times in which God protected and healed us, especially those times in which we didn\u2019t even notice that.<\/p>\n

This story reminds us to give thanks to the Lord for everything that we have including our body with all its imperfections it may have. After all, those 10 guys were cured from leper, but they might have had other issues or conditions in their bodies. Bottom line is, the Lord is the provider, and we trust that He knows what\u2019s best for us all the time. Therefore, we are called to return to Jesus daily, with hearts in faith full of gratitude.<\/p>\n

[2]<\/a> Paul exhorts the Philippians to rejoice in the Lord, to bring their requests to God with thanksgiving, and to trust that the “peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (v.7). He encourages contentment, sharing how he has learned to be content in all circumstances through the strength of Christ (v.13). Paul closes by thanking the Philippians for their financial support, which he interprets as a “fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God” (v.18). Paul calls us to live in faith, prayer, and thanksgiving. The promise of God’s peace that transcends understanding is central to our understanding of salvation, where believers are justified by grace through faith, and the result is a peace that cannot be explained by human logic but is rooted in the reconciliation achieved by Christ.<\/p>\n

The teaching of contentment in all circumstances points to the Christian life lived under the cross\u2014where believers are called to trust in God’s provision, even in times of hardship. Our good works (such as the Philippians’ generosity) are a response to God’s grace, not a means of earning salvation, and that such works are pleasing to God when they flow from faith (Augsburg Confession, Article VI).<\/p>\n

[3]<\/a> This is a psalm of blessing and mission, calling upon God to be gracious to His people and to bless them, not for their sake alone but so that God\u2019s “way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations” (v.2). The psalm portrays a time when all nations will come to know the Lord\u2019s salvation and give Him praise. The psalmist emphasizes God\u2019s rule and the hope that His blessing on Israel will lead to the praise and worship of all peoples.<\/p>\n

This psalm reflects the Lutheran understanding of mission: God\u2019s grace and blessings are given not for our own merit or boasting but for the sake of the Gospel going forth into the world. Lutherans affirm the universal scope of God’s saving work in Christ, who desires “all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:4).<\/p>\n

God\u2019s acts through the means of grace, which are instruments through which God brings salvation to the nations. The church’s mission, then, is to proclaim this saving work to all, trusting that the Holy Spirit works through the Word to bring faith and repentance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
