But for the moment work continues in the midst of human anguish, among the blind, the deaf, the hungry, the diseased, the war- scarred, the distressed, and the dispossessed. The gospel news points to the light of Christ who is creation’s Lord. “When the Son of man comes, will he find faith on earth?” For these disciples and followers the days ahead were full of peril, pursuit and martyrdom. With this parable Jesus wanted to prepare them for the possibility of delay and faith stretched to the limit! Their persistent prayer, “Thy kingdom come,” would be answered in his time and in his way. His plan, his purpose and his end will be accomplished and fulfilled. We have his word for that. Can we believe it? “When the Son of man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” With a confidence born of Jesus’ rising and ascent: his apostles went to mission, laid their lives on chopping blocks, and hung on cruel crosses. Their joy was never mindlessly designed to make an impact on a television audience. They were simply certain that the promise of their Lord would be realized, despite adverse conditions; that even in distressful times and often in despair, and frequently in their own failures, the kingdom was at hand. While we might expect them to become a crowd for whom the bells toll, they were instead a company who rang the bells of joy around the world! On what foundation did their joy and boldness rest? What mission could have motivated them when all the odds were piled up against them? This little parable of persistent patience illustrates God’s word: The church today, not always certain its Lord knows how to run things, often tries to run it for him. Not content that all their efforts are not crowned, crown their own. Not willing to await the revealing of his kingdom in his time and way, they seek to build kingdoms now. Reading the publications and what flows from copiers of churches everywhere, they speak with hype, using words like “lively, joyous, and renewed.” Every past event termed momentous; every event a happening. As one website put it: “Growth has been phenomenal, interest has heightened to a record level, a new spirit has been born.” Our transforming efforts must, it appears, project the proper image; for success demands the image of success. But God’s word never speaks the talk of marketing or promotion. Christ gives us one assurance only, that through the gospel of the cross, his cross and ours, the kingdom comes! We stand on that assurance; we fast on that promise, and nothing else or less will do! Yet we have, too often, been content with something less! The ark of God does not need human hands to steady it as Uzziah learned when he put up his hand against the ark to steady it as David sought to bring it to Jerusalem, and when the oxen stumbled and the cart began to tip. We have the promise, nothing less or greater will do! “When the Son of man comes, will he find faith on the earth? Or will he find behind the flurry of our busyness a valley of dry bones?” There will be a day – his day, his ending and our beginning! In fact, his day is now, for Christ is in our midst: “He keeps company with sinners and responds in grace to every penitent. He releases captives from the slavery of their Egypt. He takes us by the hand to usher us through those dark shadows into life eternal. In the Gospel of a love that suffered through the death of Calvary we have the promise that our Lord is with us now, that his kingdom is at hand, and that he is within us forever!” That’s the word we live on! That’s the word of our mission and purpose! And, that’s the love, which kindles the faith, keeps the fire burning, and the promise always before us. Amen.
