This Week's Commentary
|
|
|
The Very Rev. Troy D. Mendez, Dean
|
September 5, 2019
And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven
and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make
disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching
them to obey everything that I have commanded you.
And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
-- Matthew 28:18-20
At the close of Matthew's gospel, Jesus sends his disciples into all of the known world, and promises that he will be with them always. Matthew could have concluded his story, or created a fixed ending, but instead, he concludes by depicting the disciples embarking on a new beginning. The other gospels do similar things. Mark tells about the women running to Galilee to see the risen Christ, Luke has the disciples going to the Temple to pray and wait for the Holy Spirit, and John concludes with the disciples returning to their nets in Galilee and realizing that they have been forever changed. They must now take on the work of being evangelists for the Good News in all the world. The work of Jesus doesn't have an end, but rather, Christ's work always has a new beginning.
Trinity's new beginning starts on Sunday. Our program year begins once again. The cathedral choir returns to lead us in worship, and Sunday mornings begin to pick up momentum with new opportunities for children and youth formation, fellowship, and fun!
This Sunday, particularly, you might notice some wonderful enhancements around our campus. The Visual Arts Ministry has a fantastic new show that will certainly delight the eye. The Altar will be festooned with flowers. The welcome cards in the pews will be refreshed. Even some of our prayers will migrate to other forms that are offered in the Book of Common Prayer.
We shift in this way so we can take seriously the call of Jesus in Matthew's gospel to make disciples of all nations. We have all grown up with different backgrounds. We are people who often have been forced to adapt and change and grow in our lives. We take pride at Trinity that no two people are alike, and we celebrate that reality! From this foundation of difference and blessing, we extend our reach from the corner of Central and Roosevelt to the four corners of the world. No one is excluded from the embrace of our community. No one is, nor can be, nor will ever be an outcast. All are welcome!
As our weeks continue, you'll begin to see new offerings for classes, new ways to be involved in our greater community, and additional ways in which you can engage, find new connecting points, and know that you absolutely, unequivocally, without a doubt, belong here at Trinity! As we embark on our 99th program year together, we remain committed to being a beacon of light for downtown Phoenix and the world. Together, we reaffirm our mission: Welcoming all to be transformed in Christ through worship, fellowship, and service.
It will be a wonderful program year. Christ will always be with us.
In Christ's love,
