From the series: Journeying With Jesus on the Road Less Traveled Text: Luke 22:19,1 Corinthians 11:24 Richard A. Rhem Christ Community Church Spring Lake, Michigan Lent I, February 17, 2002 Transcription of the spoken sermon Once again the Lenten season. Once again "Journeying with Jesus on the Road Less Traveled." That is the Lenten theme for 2002. We are here again, and it all seems so familiar, and yet, it is all new and fresh, which is the amazing thing about the Gospel story. With each returning Lenten season – to focus once again on Jesus, on his life, on his fate, on that which emerged in the wake of his life and death and the experience of his presence living with them – all of that never seems to grow old or ordinary. And so, once again, we will journey with Jesus on the road less traveled. The road less traveled is a phrase which, to a contemporary audience, probably calls to mind the book by M. Scott Peck by that title, The Road Less Traveled, of which I guess there have been some six million published, a book that was on the bestseller list of The New York Times Review of Books longer than any that I know. I paged through it quickly; I didn't see any reference in Scott Peck's book to the origin of that phrase, but really it is a poem by Robert Frost, “The Road Not Taken," and if things work out according to schedule, we'll conclude this Lenten journey to the threshold of Holy Week with that poem rendered beautifully as an anthem. But, in the meantime, we want to journey with Jesus on the road less traveled. The road less traveled would indicate that there's a fork in the road and, contrary to that profound, contemporary philosopher Yogi Berra, who said, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it," a fork in the road demands of us a choice. We cannot take both arms of the fork. Sometime along the way, we meet that fork in the road and we have to decide where we will travel and how we will travel. Jesus met such a fork in the road at some point. We want to be examining that in these weeks. Last week we did hear the question that John the Baptist raised to Jesus. He sent his disciples to Jesus to say, "Are you the one, or do we look for another?" because John had heard rumors about a marvelous ministry in which there was joy and grace in Galilee, and it wasn't exactly the blueprint that John had envisioned for Jesus for whom he had been a mentor and a guide. But Jesus, obviously in the struggle to determine his own call and identity, when faced with that fork in the road to follow John and his preaching of righteousness and the © Grand Valley State University �This Do; Buy Why? Richard A. Rhem Page 2 apocalyptic nearness of the end, took a road less traveled. He went another way and, in going another way, he found himself on the way to the cross. We have been to the table this morning. The table is set with bread and cup, the bread is broken and the cup is poured out. It doesn't seem, in the sanitized version in which we experience it as a congregation in 2002, to represent what, as a matter of fact, it does. It was John Dominic Crossan here one Lord's Day, I think on the first Sunday of Lent, who reminded us that when you have bread and cup separated, speaking for body and blood separated, you have a sign of death and a violent death. And so, when we come to the table of our Lord, we are confronted with the reality of his violent death, which was a consequence of the journey on the road less traveled. Jesus made his way and the end of it was crucifixion because of that for which he spoke and which he embodied, which was nothing less than the love of God in the midst of our human darkness. As we journey with Jesus during these Lenten Sundays, we will be journeying on the way we have gone several times before. It is not new for this congregation, and I really don't have much that is new, except in nuance. But I was reminded of the way that we have come together over the last decade or decade and a half. My own experience, for better or for worse, eventually proves to be your experience and, as I have been wrestling in earlier years with Jesus, I came to see Jesus less as some God figure and more as a human being who was the embodiment of God. I came to see Jesus in all of his humanity. As the liturgy said a moment ago, bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh. It was April 15 of 1984 that I preached the sermon, "Jesus, You Are Really Somebody," and that was a bit of a watershed for me, because it was as though, in dismantling some of the Christological, creedal formulations of the second and third and fourth and fifth century Church as the Jesus movement became the Christian Church and the established Church of the Roman Empire, I began to see through that Christological, creedal formulation and began to feel the flesh of Jesus. Contrary to what might appear to be happening, that is, that I was pulling Jesus down to my own size, rather, Jesus became for me a man magnificent in what he was and how he was. My estimate of Jesus, my admiration for Jesus, my amazement before Jesus grew in proportion to my seeing him as my brother. Seeing him that way, I began to see him in the way that he was and the way that he walked and the life that he lived. I began to see him in a light that I had never appreciated when, for me before, he had been a divine intruder, a God-figure coming in to effect a salvation for the world. I began to see him in a totally different light and a phrase began to be repeated here, particularly during the Lenten season, "Jesus died the way he died because he lived the way he lived." I remember it was in 1993, Palm Sunday, when I made the rather bold declaration in the title of the message - "Jesus Did Not Die For Our Sins; Jesus Died Because of Our Sins." It was the darkness of the world that rose up and said © Grand Valley State University �This Do; Buy Why? Richard A. Rhem Page 3 "No" to Jesus, which was, in effect, saying "No" to God. That is the light that began to dawn for me in the life of Jesus, what he embodied, and consequently, what he met in his violent death. And so, here we are again ready to journey with Jesus on this road less traveled, and we have been to the table this morning. Actually, the message should precede the table, for the Word should illumine the act to follow. But then, how do we get the kids out of here on time? So, we go against good liturgical practice; we do the act and now I'm going to say, "Why?" Jesus and the institution as Paul passed it along, as Luke passed it along, says "Do this. This do." And I ask, "Why?" Well, obviously, first of all, and it is in the text itself, "Do this in remembrance of me." For we are historical figures, rooted in history, and unless we continue by some means to call to mind, we forget and we lose. And so, Jesus, in good Jewish fashion, or the followers of Jesus in very natural Jewish fashion, fashioned a ritual, a sacrament, for they had been remembering for 2000 years. The last supper, whether it was technically a Passover meal or not, we can't really be sure, but it was in the manner of the Passover meal, and the Passover meal was an annual celebration of their being set free from Egypt under Moses. It was the Passover supper on the night of their deliverance that they celebrated, and in their years of faithfulness, they celebrated every year and the Jewish community to this day still keeps Passover, remembering that they were slaves in Egypt and they were delivered by the mighty hand of God. In the beautiful statement of Moses in the Book of Exodus, in the words of God, "See how I have brought you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself." Year by year by year by year, thousands of years now, the Jewish community has remembered and they have maintained their sense of identity. And Jesus and the community around Jesus, the immediate disciples, obviously fashioned a sacramental celebration by which the community would continue to remember, would continue to remember Jesus, to remember, to call to mind, to come back again and again to this founding person, this founding story, to remember Jesus. Every great religion has something that it remembers, that marks it, and there are others who have been luminous with revelatory grace in the history of humankind. But for us, it’s Jesus. Jesus is our window into the heart of God and so, just as he, a Jew, was remembering the deliverance of Moses, so the Church for 2000 years has been remembering who it is, who is its center, and what it is called to be, because in that early movement and down to this present day, we believe that something, something came to expression in Jesus, and it is that which came to expression in Jesus to which we are called again and again in order that it might continue to come into expression, in order that the God embodied in Jesus and the manifestation of that grace and power that was there in that life, in order that that same manifestation may continue to be experienced in the ongoing course of history. © Grand Valley State University �This Do; Buy Why? Richard A. Rhem Page 4 It is not as though we worship Jesus. It is not as though we seek to emulate the journey of Jesus. It is that in the journey of Jesus we see that that was it! God was there! This one, this one, with a human face was reflective of the depths of God. That is our story, you see. That's what has made us what we are, and so Jesus said, "Do this." Why? In order always to remember, not simply to hark back to that past, although in harking back to that past, we are reminded of that past in order to be reminded what came to expression. Do you follow me? Sometimes I think that I am so simple and so clear, and then somebody goes out afterwards and they make a comment, and I say, "Oh, my goodness. I must have been so dull." Or, maybe they were, who knows? You see, the tendency is always, the tendency has been, to make Jesus a cult figure and the tendency rather early on was to turn that whole event into a salvation cult as though somehow or other God was able now to forgive the world because Jesus died for the sin of the world and, frankly, I think that is to evade and to avoid that to which Jesus would call us, that which came to expression in Jesus. What came to expression in Jesus is what needs to come to expression universally in order that this world may be transformed. Jesus said, "Do this. Do this to remember. Don't remember in order that somehow or other I might mean something other than I am. Do this to remember me in order that you may be what I am. Do this in order that the dynamic that is set afoot here may become the dominant mood and dynamic of the world." It’s the only hope of the world. They weren't kidding when they made Jesus the light of the world, the hope of the world, the savior of the world. He said, "Do this." Why? To remember, and maybe I could add, to stand in solidarity with, not only see it and admire it, but to stand in solidarity with it. As we read in the first letter of Peter, he has given you an example that you follow in his steps, to remember the teachings of Jesus, to remember what he embodied, and then to say "Yes, yes, yes. Somehow, by God, yes," failing often. Simon Peter is set before us this morning, denying often, betraying often, yet never able finally to give up that struggle to be in solidarity with Jesus, to be in the uniqueness of our own person, in the uniqueness of our own historical moment, to be what Jesus was in his embodying God, the God who is love, the God who calls for justice, for compassion. Ah, do this, because every time to feed on Jesus, to say it in that way, is to gain that inward strength once again to be in solidarity. © Grand Valley State University �This Do; Buy Why? Richard A. Rhem Page 5 And then just this, and I don't even know how to say this. To remember, to be in solidarity with, and to experience in the depths of our being the mystery that is God. I grew up in the Reformed faith with a liturgy that comes out of the 17th century which was in the wake, of course, of the 16th century Reformation and the break from the Catholic Church, and that liturgy was didactic. It was a theological statement. Every i dotted, every t crossed. It was a statement of justification, in a sense, of the break from the Roman Church. It was a statement that appealed to the mind, it was an intellectual and a rational description of the understanding of the doctrine of the atonement which was the center of the table or the bread and the cup. That is what marked that post-Reformation community. Intellectual definition, rational explanation. I have envied those of you who have been raised in the Roman Catholic tradition or high Episcopal or high Lutheran, Anglican, because you always knew there was something more operative than that which could be stated in a proposition, in a creedal clause. Some mystical dimension, some encounter within the depths below a rational mind, the subconscious or the unconscious, some encounter, some experience of God which cannot be defined. Now and again it happens in sacramental action. That’s what ritual is about, calling us again and again to a certain practice and, lo and behold, now and again, there is a light that goes on, there is a movement of grace, there is the brush of an angel wing, and that, hopefully, also is at least an occasional experience when we do this, remembering, being in solidarity with, but being open to that dimension of the Spirit that is not at our disposal, but now and again graces us if we have at least some thin, mystical thread within the fabric of our being. Nancy and I had a lovely evening with three Revs. Van Hoeven and their wives, our dear Gordon and Dorothy, and then his cousin Doc and Shirley, who are members here, and then his brother Jim and Mary, and Jim has been a longtime, close friend of mine and conversation partner. We had an evening in which we partied very well and laughed a lot. We laughed until we cried, and we told stories. We remembered stories. Gordon told stories on me way back into the sixties, and it was a delightful evening. Somewhere in the midst of it, I don't know how it came up, but Jim, who is a good theologian and a good thinker, said to me, "You know, recently Mary and I were in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City, that cavernous space, that holy space, and the smell of incense and the mighty choir and the great organ, and I was moved, and I said to Mary, ‘The Jesus Seminar doesn't build cathedrals.'" It was a deep, profound insight you see, because, just as I grew up with the liturgy of the Lord's Supper, which was didactic, rational, explaining everything, just so, in our search for the historical Jesus – whether it be Dom Crossan or Marcus Borg or Amy-Jill Levine or Paula Fredriksen, or whomever – sorting through all this stuff, trying to get down to the real core of it, it's not enough. Finally it is that kind of total commitment in the presence of a mystery that transcends us. And when we come to this table, when we engage in this © Grand Valley State University �This Do; Buy Why? Richard A. Rhem Page 6 community, when we pray and we sing, now and again, here and there, something happens and we keep doing this, not because grace or Spirit or glory are at our disposal, but we keep exposing ourselves in the midst of the mystery, longing to be touched. Jesus said, "Do this," and as we do it, we remember and we are to go in solidarity with him and the way he went, on the road less traveled, and at the end of it all, the road we take makes all the difference. © Grand Valley State University � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Rhem Collection Description An account of the resource Text and sound recordings of the sermons, prayers, services, and articles of Richard Rhem, pastor emeritus of Christ Community Church in Spring Lake, Michigan, where he served for 37 years. Starting in the mid 1980's, Rhem began to question some of the traditional Christian dogma that he had been espousing from the pulpit. That questioning was a first step in a long and interesting spiritual journey, one that he openly shared with his congregation. His journey is important, in part because it is reflective of the questioning, the yearnings, and the gradual revision of beliefs that many persons in this part of the century have experienced and continue to experience. It is important also because of the affirming and inclusive way his questioning was done and his thinking evolved. His sermons and other written and spoken materials together document the steps in his journey as it took a turn in 1985, yet continued to revolve around the framework and liturgies of the Christian calendar.

Rhem Christ Community Church Spring Lake, Michigan December 24, 2000 Transcription of the spoken sermon I had a very easy morning; I didn't have to preach, so I was able to sit where you sit and to take in the wonder of the story in song, pageantry, drama, and as I sat there, I was very much aware of the fact that that is precisely the way the Christmas mystery ought to be experienced. That is the way it is best presented; that is the way it is best appropriated. It is a beautiful story and it can best be sung. Of course, eventually it catches up with me and here I am, trying to preach about it again. But, let me contrast for you the story as it was dramatically, musically, instrumentally set forth, and the account which we read a moment ago in John's Gospel. The drama, the pageant, of course, is from the birth stories of Matthew and of Luke, principally Luke's story, the shepherds and angels and the virgin with the baby boy, but, also from Matthew the kings, and in those birth stories we have the story form. Can't you feel the contrast with the reading of the first chapter of John, prologued in this Gospel, "In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. All things were made through him and apart from him was not anything made that was made. In him was life and the life was the light of humankind. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has never comprehended it." Then the little historical paragraph about John the Baptist, but then again the statement, "This was the true light that enlightens everyone that was coming into the world." And then another historical reference, "He came to his own and his own received him not," and that marvelous, climactic statement - "The word became flesh and dwelt among us." You don't have to be a rocket scientist or a literary critic to feel the contrast between Luke's marvelous story and John's more philosophical or theological presentation of exactly the same event. In Luke, it is story, and on Christmas Eve we're here to celebrate this, our story. It is a particular kind of story. Some would call it a myth, but it is not really myth in a technical sense, because it refers to © Grand Valley State University   �This Is Our Story Richard A. Rhem Page 2   historical events. This was the time of Caesar Augustus and Herod and his brutal reign. It happened at a particular place and in a particular social context, so the story is rooted historically. But, it is not just documentary history, either. It is not the kind of historical account, for example, if one would visit France and the Normandy Beach area and take in that marvelous museum that was built for the 50th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, where one becomes in a cinematic production, as it were, a very part of that climactic moment of the Second World War. That is not the kind of history it is, either. It is a story that is rooted in history about real history and real people, but it is told with legendary accoutrements that make it into a marvelous tale, as it were. John does not tell the story. John philosophically, theologically looks behind the story to its meaning. But, John and Matthew and Luke are trying to give expression to the same mystery, the mystery of Christmas that we celebrate tonight. This is our story. It is our story. It is not the only story. There are other peoples of other times and other places who have stories, too, and those stories also reflect their deepest intuitions about what is at the center of things, deep down. But, this is our story and it is a marvelous story. It is a beautiful story. It is a story with a profound meaning. This is our story and it tells us about the nature of God. John in his more philosophical, theological presentation reaches behind the story to say that what the story is about, what Luke wrote about the shepherds, the angels in the night, the virgin Mary giving birth to a child in a cattle stall, is the birth of one who is truly human, but in whose humanity there was an intensification of luminosity, of revelation so that he could say that that word that was in the beginning with God, which could also be translated the divine intention, in this moment in history, was enfleshed so that in the humanity of this one who was born, who came to maturity, those who saw him and were encountered by him could do no other than to say, "My God." The word became flesh and dwelt among us, and John says no one has ever seen God, but this one shows us who God is. This one, in human flesh, is the selfexpression of God. This one sounded like God. This one acted like God. What one experiences in this one is what one experiences in God and, maybe most profoundly, John would say that in the manner of this one's revelation, humble birth as a child, one has an insight into the nature of God, which is love revealed in all of the vulnerability of a child. The nature of God read in a human birth. The being of God revealed in a child. The love and the vulnerability of a child's birth, the ultimate revelation of that which is at the core of reality. That is our story. That is what the story says. It's a wonderful story. It's a beautiful story, and what it tells us is even more wonderful: that at the core of reality is the love unconditional, as wide as creation, that embraces us and will never let us go. Our story speaks of a God who is love, a love that is vulnerable, and a love that is with us and continues to be available to us in the enfleshment of the other. In the © Grand Valley State University �This Is Our Story Richard A. Rhem Page 3   letter of John we read God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in them, the love of God experienced in human flesh, the ultimate truth about reality, as concrete and real as the person on your right and on your left, God revealed in Jesus, the nature of God, love, present with us. The story tells us what is true everywhere, at all times, and the ultimate, final word is love. That is our story. It is love that would stop at nothing to live out the embodiment of the heart of God, even to the extent of being broken and poured out in order that finally we earthlings might get it, with the ultimate truth lying in the vulnerability of love, because it's a reflection of the very core of reality.

Rhem Collection Description An account of the resource Text and sound recordings of the sermons, prayers, services, and articles of Richard Rhem, pastor emeritus of Christ Community Church in Spring Lake, Michigan, where he served for 37 years. Starting in the mid 1980's, Rhem began to question some of the traditional Christian dogma that he had been espousing from the pulpit. That questioning was a first step in a long and interesting spiritual journey, one that he openly shared with his congregation. His journey is important, in part because it is reflective of the questioning, the yearnings, and the gradual revision of beliefs that many persons in this part of the century have experienced and continue to experience. It is important also because of the affirming and inclusive way his questioning was done and his thinking evolved. His sermons and other written and spoken materials together document the steps in his journey as it took a turn in 1985, yet continued to revolve around the framework and liturgies of the Christian calendar.
