Five years ago we did a series called “Neighboring.” It was part of a movement going on at the time in churches across the country. It started in Denver. A ecumenical group of pastors met with the mayor to discuss how their churches might help with the most threatening problems in their city. The mayor said, “Help our neighborhoods…”
There are people in St. Luke’s today because we did this exercise six years ago. Members got to know neighbors, one day they invited them to St. Luke’s. And they are here now. But that really isn’t the goal. Its not a gimmick to get people in church. Its just about helping us become better people at caring for others, noticing others, taking time to learn about those who live the closest to us.

The sermon series is based off his new book that looks at three major beliefs we have as people of faith. As you heard in the interview, the backdrop of the book is seen through the experience of the tragic death of his daughter. And the message that resulted from that tragedy is one that’s unexpected. It’s one that almost catches us off guard. The message that we begin our series is that makes this affirmation. God is good all the time.

We finish the series, "The Questions Jesus Asked" today with the question "Why Are You Crying."
So have you ever thought of the Easter story as a tear-jerker? I never did until we looked at the Questions Jesus Asks during Lent. Normally we don’t continue a Lent series to Easter Day, but the first words spoken by the risen Christ in the Gospel of John are a question. He asks, “Woman, why are you weeping?” Jesus says this to Mary, who was first asked this question by angels in the tomb. The story of Easter begins with tears.

Throughout these weeks of Lent, we have been looking at the Questions that Jesus Asks. These questions have helped us understand ourselves and our faith better and I don’t know about you, but I think every single week, I have learned something about myself and a way I want to grow.
And so today we’re going to keep on looking at these questions. And today the question that we’re looking at is (SLIDE) “Who do you say I am?”

This is a question of discipleship. Now that’s a very churchy word, and some people aren’t sure what it means, but it because of its connection to the label Christian, many folks are uncomfortable with the label. But let’s understand that the word disciple is a lot like the word apprentice. When you are an apprentice, it means you learn from someone. Sometimes people in a specialized careers, go to be an apprentice under an expert so they can learn all they can from that person.

The question of Jesus we consider today is one that is most important for any person who has ever been torn down by criticism and condemnation of others: “Where are your accusers?” It’s the simplest of the questions Jesus asked, but the conditions surrounding it are anything but.

During this season of Lent we are considering some of the questions Jesus asks. Today’s question is taken from this challenging text we just heard: “For if you love only those who love you, what reward do you have?” (CEV)
This is a question of compassion. I would suppose that compassion for most of us makes us think of acts of mercy like caring for someone who is sick. But the heart of the word compassion is, obviously, passion. Passion comes from a Latin word that means suffer. That is why we talk about the passion of Jesus, it means the suffering of Jesus. Therefore compassion means “to suffer with.” That can mean a couple of things: sharing someone else’s suffering, or putting up with someone who causes us suffering.
