1
00:00:03.572 --> 00:00:06.970
And on, the stories poured forth,
2
00:00:06.970 --> 00:00:10.200
and, suddenly, for all of us in that room,
3
00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:13.090
the image took on new life
4
00:00:13.090 --> 00:00:18.040
as it was enfleshed with the person of Henry Miseroa.
5
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:24.000
It was apparent to us that this shepherd knew his sheep
6
00:00:24.350 --> 00:00:29.010
and he was willing to be responsible for their welfare.
7
00:00:29.010 --> 00:00:33.510
He agonized over the nurture of his flock
8
00:00:33.510 --> 00:00:37.670
and he risked his own life to protect them.
9
00:00:37.670 --> 00:00:42.580
It was like finally seeing a whole new perspective
10
00:00:42.580 --> 00:00:47.546
in the kaleidoscopic images of John's gospel.
11
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:53.517
Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life
12
00:00:53.517 --> 00:00:56.790
"and have it to the full."
13
00:00:56.790 --> 00:00:59.760
It is Jesus that offers the gift
14
00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:03.950
of this new quality of existence.
15
00:01:03.950 --> 00:01:08.630
For the synoptic gospels out of the eyes of Matthew,
16
00:01:08.630 --> 00:01:13.574
Mark, and Luke, we call it the Kingdom of God.
17
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:19.480
For the apostle Paul, he called it salvation.
18
00:01:19.790 --> 00:01:24.790
For Tillich, a theologian, he called it the new being.
19
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:30.120
For Bultmann, he called it authentic existence.
20
00:01:30.190 --> 00:01:34.450
For this evangelist, John, the other gospel,
21
00:01:34.450 --> 00:01:39.330
he calls it life, eternal life.
22
00:01:39.330 --> 00:01:42.130
Life to the full.
23
00:01:42.130 --> 00:01:45.920
What specific, then, does this passage offer
24
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:48.780
regarding that gift of life
25
00:01:48.780 --> 00:01:53.022
which John considers so precious?
26
00:01:53.022 --> 00:01:57.988
Jesus himself did not invent the imagery of shepherding,
27
00:01:58.850 --> 00:02:02.410
but we see that he did turn that image
28
00:02:02.410 --> 00:02:05.380
to his own important use.
29
00:02:05.380 --> 00:02:08.463
Upon hearing Jesus talk,
30
00:02:08.463 --> 00:02:10.938
the first hearers already carried
31
00:02:10.938 --> 00:02:15.530
their own connotations of what he must have been saying.
32
00:02:15.530 --> 00:02:19.370
You see, they would have remembered Ezekiel's contrast
33
00:02:19.370 --> 00:02:24.370
between false and true shepherds out of their scriptures.
34
00:02:24.890 --> 00:02:28.160
They would have remembered the self-aggrandizing
35
00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:31.230
political leaders of the time
36
00:02:31.230 --> 00:02:35.630
had been branded as false prophets.
37
00:02:35.630 --> 00:02:39.330
The coming Messianic King out of the scriptures
38
00:02:39.330 --> 00:02:43.790
would be the one and only true shepherd.
39
00:02:43.790 --> 00:02:48.560
Jesus' use of this kind of language surely recalled
40
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:52.040
these associations of the people.
41
00:02:52.040 --> 00:02:55.920
Immediately after his sharing them,
42
00:02:55.920 --> 00:02:58.607
the people demanded of him,
43
00:02:58.607 --> 00:03:01.547
"If you are this Messianic King,
44
00:03:01.547 --> 00:03:06.547
"if you are the Christ, then just tell us plainly."
45
00:03:08.502 --> 00:03:13.502
The Synoptics remembered Jesus moved by the crowds
46
00:03:13.910 --> 00:03:18.910
who seemed to gather around him like shepherdless sheep.
47
00:03:19.100 --> 00:03:24.020
And the Synoptics also point out to us the Pharisees
48
00:03:24.020 --> 00:03:27.440
who are described as having very little care
49
00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:32.380
for these same crowds and the same outcasts.
50
00:03:32.380 --> 00:03:37.063
It is to their callousness that Jesus responds
51
00:03:37.063 --> 00:03:41.423
with a parable about a shepherd.
52
00:03:41.423 --> 00:03:45.210
In contrast with these, whose religion seemed to be
53
00:03:45.210 --> 00:03:48.890
more concerned with doctrine and rules
54
00:03:48.890 --> 00:03:51.370
than with needs of persons,
55
00:03:51.370 --> 00:03:56.370
Jesus and his movement and life of loving concern
56
00:03:56.790 --> 00:04:01.725
brought abundant life to those people around him.
57
00:04:02.963 --> 00:04:06.560
I've discovered that there are three parables
58
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:11.560
packed into this kaleidoscopic passage of John.
59
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:16.200
The first shows to us that there is only one way
60
00:04:16.200 --> 00:04:21.200
to enter the sheep fold, the way of the true shepherd,
61
00:04:21.450 --> 00:04:25.706
for whom that gate is opened.
62
00:04:25.706 --> 00:04:29.479
So, any violent Messianic pretender
63
00:04:29.479 --> 00:04:34.246
or even rule-bound religious leader
64
00:04:34.246 --> 00:04:39.246
has tried other ways to enter this state of life,
65
00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:44.418
and yet has done so, often, with disastrous results.
66
00:04:45.410 --> 00:04:49.630
The second image out of the parable comes to us
67
00:04:49.630 --> 00:04:53.091
reminding us of Joshua.
68
00:04:53.091 --> 00:04:56.000
For out of the scriptures of the Old Testament,
69
00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:01.000
Joshua, like the shepherd, led his people out.
70
00:05:01.370 --> 00:05:05.200
The strong soldier in him, Joshua,
71
00:05:05.200 --> 00:05:08.590
had been commissioned as the one who would lead them out
72
00:05:08.590 --> 00:05:12.610
and bring them in, that the congregation of the Lord
73
00:05:12.610 --> 00:05:17.610
may not be as sheep which have no shepherd.
74
00:05:18.030 --> 00:05:23.030
Jesus seemed to think of his ministry in these terms.
75
00:05:23.350 --> 00:05:26.640
The third parable out of John
76
00:05:26.640 --> 00:05:30.840
is his "I am the door" saying.
77
00:05:30.840 --> 00:05:33.910
The one point of this saying is that
78
00:05:33.910 --> 00:05:37.600
the door leads to salvation
79
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:42.600
found by passing through and living in the life of Jesus.
80
00:05:43.970 --> 00:05:48.240
Being led by him, we are told that we can lead life
81
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.905
to the full.
82
00:05:50.905 --> 00:05:54.252
Now, my question for us today is the question
83
00:05:54.252 --> 00:05:59.252
that Jesus asked of the original hearers.
84
00:05:59.980 --> 00:06:03.940
Do we, my friends, have the ears to hear
85
00:06:03.940 --> 00:06:08.040
this very simple message about Jesus
86
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:13.040
as the door and Jesus as the shepherd?
87
00:06:13.383 --> 00:06:17.848
You see, the critics of Jesus' day could not hear,
88
00:06:17.848 --> 00:06:22.465
much less understand these words.
89
00:06:22.465 --> 00:06:27.465
We are told that they assume that any legitimate leader
90
00:06:27.490 --> 00:06:31.740
must first win the endorsement of the academic
91
00:06:31.740 --> 00:06:36.050
and ecclesiastical community.
92
00:06:36.050 --> 00:06:41.050
However, Jesus' life and ministry and words
93
00:06:41.241 --> 00:06:46.241
proved that truth was respecter of persons.
94
00:06:46.610 --> 00:06:51.090
It may well be shunned by those who are sophisticated
95
00:06:51.090 --> 00:06:55.715
and somehow incredibly find hospitality
96
00:06:55.715 --> 00:06:59.073
among the commoners.
97
00:06:59.073 --> 00:07:04.073
Jesus, the good shepherd, comes to us again today
98
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:07.347
with this promise.
99
00:07:07.347 --> 00:07:10.837
"I am come that you might have life
100
00:07:10.837 --> 00:07:13.957
"and have it to the full."
101
00:07:13.957 --> 00:07:17.840
And so we say together as a community of faith,
102
00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:22.793
thanks be to God for such a gift of life.
103
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:31.680
And now I simply want to share with you,
104
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:36.680
just for a moment, a pastoral word.
105
00:07:37.300 --> 00:07:40.920
It has been my privilege and joy
106
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:44.900
to share in ministry with you and among you
107
00:07:44.900 --> 00:07:48.603
for these four years.
108
00:07:48.603 --> 00:07:51.914
(struggling back tears)
109
00:08:12.900 --> 00:08:16.319
I have more I want to say.
110
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:19.050
(solemn chuckle)
111
00:08:28.570 --> 00:08:32.460
I am grateful for this special place
112
00:08:32.460 --> 00:08:37.460
called Duke University Chapel,
113
00:08:37.820 --> 00:08:42.530
for you have called forth from me and so many others
114
00:08:42.530 --> 00:08:47.530
gifts of ministry and blessed me and so many others
115
00:08:48.260 --> 00:08:51.278
on our way.
116
00:08:51.278 --> 00:08:56.278
And as I go to serve a local church,
117
00:08:56.790 --> 00:09:01.790
I know that I will carry you with me in my heart.
118
00:09:02.220 --> 00:09:07.220
Your lives, your ministry, and this place.
119
00:09:09.650 --> 00:09:14.650
Also, I have every confidence that the future
120
00:09:14.890 --> 00:09:19.085
of Duke Chapel will be great.
121
00:09:19.085 --> 00:09:23.213
It will keep faith with its past
122
00:09:23.213 --> 00:09:27.300
and it will continue to call for the very best
123
00:09:27.300 --> 00:09:32.186
in lives of service from everyone here
124
00:09:33.211 --> 00:09:36.420
and I simply want to say, for that,
125
00:09:36.420 --> 00:09:39.520
God's blessings be with you all.
126
00:09:39.520 --> 00:09:42.535
Amen and Amen.

We believe in God
154
00:13:53.130 --> 00:13:56.130
who has created and is creating,
155
00:13:56.130 --> 00:13:59.140
who has come in the truly human Jesus
156
00:13:59.140 --> 00:14:01.243
to reconcile and make new,
157
00:14:02.090 --> 00:14:04.513
who works in us and others by the spirit.
158
00:14:05.740 --> 00:14:09.350
We trust God who calls us to be the Church
159
00:14:10.430 --> 00:14:13.440
to celebrate life in its fullness,
160
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.140
to love and serve others,
161
00:14:16.140 --> 00:14:19.340
to seek justice and resist evil,
162
00:14:19.340 --> 00:14:22.870
proclaim Jesus crucified and risen,
163
00:14:22.870 --> 00:14:24.463
our Judge and our Hope.
164
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:30.720
In life, in death, in life beyond death,
165
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:32.950
God is with us.
166
00:14:32.950 --> 00:14:34.053
We are not alone.
167
00:14:35.010 --> 00:14:35.860
Thanks be to God.
168
00:14:37.380 --> 00:14:39.275
The Lord be with you.
169
00:14:39.275 --> 00:14:40.550
And also with you.
170
00:14:40.550 --> 00:14:41.383
Let us pray.
171
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:55.513
Come, Holy Spirit,
172
00:14:56.810 --> 00:15:00.490
come into the prayers that we cry out for all peoples
173
00:15:01.923 --> 00:15:04.993
for their healing, for their redemption,
174
00:15:05.831 --> 00:15:10.100
for their being surprised by your presence
175
00:15:10.100 --> 00:15:11.823
and the laughter of your mercy.
176
00:15:14.020 --> 00:15:16.433
Do overcome our meager faith.
177
00:15:17.900 --> 00:15:22.540
Empower our words, yes, but also our silences
178
00:15:22.540 --> 00:15:25.633
with that love which loves without fear.
179
00:15:27.180 --> 00:15:32.180
Brood in us and sigh in us those grievances and sorrows,
180
00:15:33.830 --> 00:15:37.623
the ache and loneliness of all who need our intercession.
181
00:15:39.580 --> 00:15:43.410
Take us out of our obsessions with ourselves
182
00:15:43.410 --> 00:15:45.173
and into their need.
183
00:15:47.220 --> 00:15:50.970
Give us the trust that knows that beyond our asking
184
00:15:50.970 --> 00:15:52.540
is yourself
185
00:15:53.830 --> 00:15:58.830
gathering, comforting, mending, causing us to be,
186
00:16:04.020 --> 00:16:07.533
and giving meaning to our existence.
187
00:16:11.010 --> 00:16:15.700
Lord God, in a world still awaiting the justice
188
00:16:15.700 --> 00:16:20.700
that rolls down as waters, righteousness is a mighty stream.
189
00:16:22.830 --> 00:16:26.193
Where knowledge is plentiful, but wisdom's scarce.
190
00:16:27.490 --> 00:16:29.323
We pray for this University,
191
00:16:30.560 --> 00:16:34.717
its students, faculty, administrators,
192
00:16:37.450 --> 00:16:39.783
employees and many friends.
193
00:16:41.270 --> 00:16:45.470
As together our understanding increases,
194
00:16:45.470 --> 00:16:49.143
quicken and deepen, also, our sense of responsibility.
195
00:16:51.190 --> 00:16:52.770
That we become more humane
196
00:16:54.090 --> 00:16:56.743
and, through us, the world more habitable.
197
00:16:59.990 --> 00:17:04.280
Oh, God who makes nations to rise and fall,
198
00:17:04.280 --> 00:17:07.850
we pray for our nation in this time of political campaigning
199
00:17:07.850 --> 00:17:09.343
and decision making.
200
00:17:10.760 --> 00:17:15.760
Deliver us from apathy, or cynicism,
201
00:17:16.430 --> 00:17:18.223
or neglect of opportunity.
202
00:17:20.090 --> 00:17:22.943
Make us mindful that a future is being created.
203
00:17:25.950 --> 00:17:29.300
Remembering how often we pray that your Kingdom come,
204
00:17:29.300 --> 00:17:33.093
your Will be done on earth as in Heaven.
205
00:17:34.530 --> 00:17:38.600
Do, now, enable us to examine with fresh and open minds
206
00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:41.533
all issues and persons.
207
00:17:43.730 --> 00:17:47.335
Being neither captive to past commitments,
208
00:17:47.335 --> 00:17:51.143
nor ensnared by narrow self-interest.
209
00:17:53.250 --> 00:17:55.950
May the great hopes of our faith motivate our choices.
210
00:17:57.900 --> 00:18:02.150
The cause of peace, of justice,
211
00:18:02.150 --> 00:18:04.010
of mercy for all of your children
212
00:18:05.180 --> 00:18:06.853
be strengthened by what we do.
213
00:18:11.890 --> 00:18:15.990
Oh, God, from whose first fire came the light
214
00:18:15.990 --> 00:18:18.900
that dispelled primeval darkness
215
00:18:18.900 --> 00:18:21.163
and gave creation its birth,
216
00:18:22.110 --> 00:18:25.320
the pillar whose fire led your captive people
217
00:18:25.320 --> 00:18:27.163
from slavery into freedom,
218
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:33.690
whose tongues of fire burned away a confusion of tongues
219
00:18:33.690 --> 00:18:36.883
and left one new people the Church.
220
00:18:39.380 --> 00:18:42.373
Abide, we pray, with your daughter and servant, Shirley,
221
00:18:44.081 --> 00:18:47.120
going soon to a new place to minister among
222
00:18:47.120 --> 00:18:48.543
and with a different people.
223
00:18:50.630 --> 00:18:54.880
Grant her continued energy and courage
224
00:18:56.220 --> 00:19:00.770
and that sacred vision from whence all caring comes
225
00:19:00.770 --> 00:19:04.030
and without which our labor is in vain
226
00:19:04.030 --> 00:19:06.823
and which brings a joy above all joy.
227
00:19:09.170 --> 00:19:11.520
Accompany her and her family in their journey
228
00:19:11.520 --> 00:19:15.130
away from this place and to that new place
229
00:19:15.130 --> 00:19:16.493
that will be their home.
230
00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:21.663
We pray in the name of Jesus Christ,
231
00:19:22.910 --> 00:19:27.520
in whom we are called to be both free and responsible,
232
00:19:27.520 --> 00:19:32.520
and whom we received this prayer that we declare together,
233
00:19:32.750 --> 00:19:35.513
Our Father, who art in Heaven,
234
00:19:36.410 --> 00:19:37.850
hallowed be thy name.
235
00:19:38.830 --> 00:19:40.550
Thy Kingdom come,
236
00:19:40.550 --> 00:19:45.090
thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
237
00:19:45.090 --> 00:19:47.033
Give us this day our daily bread,
238
00:19:48.040 --> 00:19:50.490
and forgive us our trespasses
239
00:19:50.490 --> 00:19:52.763
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
240
00:19:54.010 --> 00:19:56.550
And lead us not into temptation,
241
00:19:56.550 --> 00:19:57.843
but deliver us from evil.
242
00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:03.390
For thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory
243
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:05.473
forever, Amen.
