Fourth Sunday after Pentecost, 25 June 2023,
Jeremiah 20:7-13 (sermon text)
Psalm 91:1-10
Romans 6:12-23
Matthew 10:5a, 21-33
The fire of God's Word is within our hearts and bones. It's not some emotional "burning of the bosom" but the dwelling in the promises of God through Christ Jesus. We feel the fire of God purging our sins and refining us for heaven through the concrete means of His Word and Sacrament. Yet, when the world hears the fire of God's word, they typically hear the Law instead of the Gospel: stop sinning or be destroyed. Our fear in sharing the fiery light of the Gospel is that we will be rejected by people--especially our unbelieving family and friends--because they do not want their sins and their unbelief condemned. But, like Jeremiah, shutting up the fire of God's word in our hearts and bones forces the fire to burn within us, having it accuse us of not doing what we should by spreading it. We must let it out, not because we fear it, but because it is far more joyous to help our neighbours in their faith than to withhold the message of Christ's salvation from them.
