Yet in our text all of these things were happening.

The doughnuts in the hallway caused no interruption of service, weren’t not disrespectful of God’s name or word, and were not an attempt to buy or sell the free grace of God. But what happen then really has nothing to do with what is going on in our text. And I agree it’s not really a good thing to do, because we don’t want our foyer to become a community bulletin board, nor do we want to give the impression that we as a church are promoting one business above another. They are not only committing it but doing so openly and leading many others to do the same.Ī couple weeks ago we had someone put doughnuts and fliers for their business in our foyer, and some questioned that. If a citizen commits a sin the government is there to punish him, but when the leaders do what is wrong there is no one to bring them to justice. Not only is this the chief sin but this sin was being committed by the high priests, the leaders. That rebellion against God is the heart of all sin. Many of these things we would say are worst sins but that is because we do not understand the heart of things. He doesn’t ignore these sins, but neither does He deal with then in this way. There are many other sins which the Lord “passes over,” the adulterous woman, the Samaritan woman, Nicodemus coming to him at night, even His own betrayal at the hands of Judas. Therefore since this is the chief commandment, it is good and right that this is the sin which Christ confronts, publicly and violently. Even in our text this came first because the Chief Priests did not have any treasure in heaven they sought earthly treasure instead. Many ascribe this to money misquoting the scripture but the disrespect for God’s name ( and His word) is truly the root of all other sin. To refuse to “hold God’s name as holy” ie to refuse to respect his authority and word, is the root of all evil.

All of this and so much more because there is no fear of God and therefore everyone is free to act as they think and feel is best “everyone did what was right in their own eyes.” We also have real life people who are traitors and leak information that put their neighbors lives in jeopardy, yet again our society idolizes these people.

And so now we have a TV show that makes a hero out of a man who murders and kills people, because he thinks he has just cause. Notice how every one of Luther’s explanations to the other commandments, begins in this way, “We should fear and love God” because if you do not fear and love God then you have no reason to do anything except what you think is best for you. Wherever people honor and respect God’s name they will listen to His Word, repent of their sins and live lives of repentance, but wherever they do not respect or honor his name, they will do as they like, and every form of greed, avarice, and sin will abound. This is the first petition and the first commandment (actually the first three, and the fourth also), for this is the chief thing. Which is the greater sin? Murder, adultery, or disrespect? To men it seems like the least of sins, but God says that disrespect for authority, especially his authority, that is the chief sin. Keep us from doing this, heavenly Father. Help us do this, dear heavenly Father.īut whoever teaches and lives contrary to the Word of God dishonors God’s name among us. God’s name is kept holy when the Word of God is taught in its truth and purity, and we as children of God also live a holy life according to it. God’s name is certainly holy all by itself, but we pray in this petition that we also keep it holy. 2:20 Or This temple was built forty-six years ago 22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken. 16 And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away do not make my Father’s house a house of trade.” 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.”ġ8 So the Jews said to him, “What sign do you show us for doing these things?” 19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, 1 and will you raise it up in three days?” 21 But he was speaking about the temple of his body. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 15 And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. 14 In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. 13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
