Paul was one of <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\">them and in the section of the second readin<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\">g he addresses that problem \u2013 many disciples had been preparing themselves for the Lord\u2019s return \u2013 but they had died \u2013 what will now happen to them?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\">This is probably why the gospel parable about the ten bridesmaids was so popular in the early Church \u2013 for it too addresses the matter of the coming of the bridegroom in glory, again the theme is about being prepared.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\">In the first lesson, we are taken back to the days of the conquest of the promised land by Joshua and his supporters. In battle, there is no room for the half\u2013hearted. Joshua\u2019s great speech calls his men to decision time \u201cchoose you this day whom you will serve \u2013 as for me and my family we will serve the living God\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\">So today we are being asked to think spiritually about how prepared are we for the present and all that lies ahead of us \u2013 even death.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\">I was a boy scout for a few years (decades ago) and I am grateful for my time at 7<\/span><\/span><sup><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\">th<\/span><\/span><\/sup><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\"> Northcote, St James Thornbury troop. Our motto in scouting was (of course) \u201cbe prepared\u201d. Lord Baden Powell has inspired people all over the world for a long time, in this regard but I believe Jesus\u2019 parable and today\u2019s message asks of us an even deeper array of questions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\">It has always struck me as a little bizarre that in Jesus\u2019 story the bridegroom is running so late for his wedding \u2013 what could he be doing? There is no mention of the bride and the reception in the end begins at midnight \u2013 some 5 bridesmaids being prepared and 5 not so prepared.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\">Clearly, this is a very different cultural event to Australia in the 21<\/span><\/span><sup><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\">st<\/span><\/span><\/sup><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\"> Century. I have been involved in many weddings \u2013 this does not seem consistent with my experience. Sure, bridesmaids can get distracted and delayed \u2013 goodness knows why? Even bridegrooms have their troubles \u2013 like the one who thought the best man was picking up the suits and now the hire place was shut! Oops!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\">Obviously, in Jesus\u2019 culture a wedding beginning at midnight is no problem \u2013 what would be a problem is a lack of light and the bridesmaids\u2019 wisdom is proportional to their readiness in this regard. Jesus is saying that faith can\u2019t be turned on as it were with the flick of a switch (or oil in a lamp) and that wise preparation takes time \u2013 faith is not a commodity that can be shared in an instant \u2013 it takes time and effort.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\">I am reminded of a couple of conversations I have had out in the hustings &#8211; visiting people on the parish roll. \u201cI don\u2019t need to go to Church Vicar\u201d said one lady \u201cmy uncle was an Archdeacon\u201d. \u201cReally!\u201d said I \u2013 and \u201cI\u2019m sorry to disappoint you, his faith (whatever it was) was not transferrable.\u201d Shock horror. Or on another occasion the person who announced \u201cI don\u2019t need to go to Church Vicar \u2013 because I don\u2019t sin!\u201d \u201cReally!\u201d said I. \u201cIf that is so you are completely correct however, I suspect that \u2013 you might like to look at that analysis a bit more closely!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\">Being spiritually prepared, having our lamps ready and oil to keep them going is an old-fashioned metaphor but it does ask of us, what are we doing prayerfully to respond to the challenge. Who will you serve? There is a spiritual battle before us and as Paul reminded the Ephesians \u2013 put on the whole armour of God. He drew on the image of the Roman soldier \u2013 we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, the powers, the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Having done all to stand with &#8211; <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u2018<span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\">your loins girded with truth, with the breastplate of righteousness, your feet shod with the gospel of peace, above all taking the shield of faith with which to quench the arrows of the evil one, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God.\u2019<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\">Pray at all times, keep alert, persevere, make supplication to the saints. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\">It\u2019s a great image and although I\u2019m more pacifist, than militant \u2013 nevertheless it does remind us of the reality of evil in the world and in our own lives \u2013 if we are real and honest with ourselves \u2013 unlike those parishioners of mine.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\">In a few short weeks we will be in Advent proper and for 2 Sundays the dominant message of \u201cbe prepared\u201d will return \u2013 this time the central figure is John the Baptist. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\">Prepare the way of the Lord \u2013 make his paths straight. Christians know that our lives require of us both a corporate and personal response to all Jesus has done for us. We take seriously that we are good citizens, of the highest integrity and morality, that we value justice and mercy \u2013 so the battle to be Christlike and ever ready for Christ to come is one that calls us outwardly and inwardly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"_GoBack\"><\/a> <span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\">It is easy to be distracted \u2013 the early Christians were very aware that in Christ they were new creatures. Because of that they seem to have been acutely aware and focussed on letting their light shine in the dark places. Perhaps we have lost that drive, energy and focus. Time has dulled a sense of urgency and we find ourselves drifting.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\">Our influence and our vocation is 24-7 and is highly valued at work, among friends and the family.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en-AU\">Today\u2019s message is as important in 2017 as ever. Keep alert, be spiritually prepared and take up the necessary array of spiritual defences and equipment for our unique journey.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ed.
