\u201cJesus\u2019 Presence\u201d \u3000Matthew 11:2-11 \t\tPr. H. Adachi<\/p>\n

May the Grace and Peace upon us in the name of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ!
\nA six year old child asked me a question, \u201cWhen my mother was baptized, why you put water on her head?\u201d Actually, this was a very good question, and I answered to him, \u201cBefore you eat dinner, do you wash your hand to clean? Correct? The Holy Baptism is something similar, before you start the faithful life, which is to follow Jesus Christ believing in God, you had better be washed spiritually by the water.\u201d
\nThen he asked the next question. \u201cBelieving in God is to believe something that cannot be seen. Can I do? I wonder\u2026\u201d Then I said to him, \u201cWhat a wonderful question you asked! Yes, the faith is to believe in God that is not seen.\u201d Then he did not ask any further question.
\nHere in this message, I would like to add that, there is a substantial difference between to believe in only God and to believe in Christ as our Lord and Savior. The latter belief has a fundamental mysterious aspect which cannot be seen as well as cannot comprehend. I will talk more about this aspect toward the end of the message.
\nThe Gospel text on this third advent, we continue reading the text that is related to John the Baptist. Last week, we learned that John was guiding the people to turn from what was not really divine to the truly divine, Jesus Christ who would come after John.
\nMany of followers of John started to follow Jesus after he started his ministry. However, there were people those were still following John, even when he was in jail. John let them to ask Jesus, \u201cAre you the Messiah we\u2019ve been expecting, or should we keep looking for someone else?\u201d
\nAlthough John knew that Jesus was the Messiah, John was probably surprised by the fact that Jesus was graciously caring for the people without showing any fearful aspect of God\u2019s judgment. I believe that is why John let his followers to ask such a question.
\nTo respond to John\u2019s question, Jesus answered, \u201c\u201cGo and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have good news brought to them. And blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me.\u201d
\nIf you read the several chapters before today\u2019s Gospel of Matthew, you know these were the things that Jesus was already doing and also, if you know the book of Isaiah, they were the things that Isiah had already prophesized six hundred years ago, which means that Jesus revealed as Messiah. In other words, Jesus answered to John\u2019s question that he was the Messiah, God revealed His Son two thousand years ago, although Jesus was using his language very cautiously because if he said \u201cI am the Messiah,\u201d that would cause Jewish leaders to start killing him right away.
\nWhat do these conversations between Jesus and John\u2019s disciples mean in our lives? Especially reflecting on the season of advent, celebrating the birth of Jesus and waiting for his second coming, what is God speaking to us, disciples of Jesus Christ, now?
\nIn reality, Jesus Christ appeared surely 2000 years ago, however, he was killed in the end. Then on the third day, he was resurrected and said to his disciples \u201cPeace be with you\u201d without any accusation to them even though they could not stop the crucifixion and ran away from Jesus when he was crucified. Then 40 days later, Jesus went to the sky, heaven, but 10 days later, on the Pentecost, the Holy Spirit obviously came on earth. The same Holy Spirit, God\u2019s breeze, has been among us even though we cannot see it.
\nWe cannot see Jesus Christ as the disciples 2000 years ago saw him, but Jesus is among us as the Holy Spirit. Not only that, Jesus left his words that \u201cwhen you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters; you were doing it to me!\u201d
\nEven though we cannot see Jesus Christ as he appeared 2000 years ago, we can believe His presence here and there in our lives. Probably the most prominent matter is that Jesus said \u201cTake and eat, this bread is my body. Do this for the remembrance of me.\u201d And then, \u201cThis cup is the new covenant in my blood shed for you and for all the people for the forgiveness of sin. Do this for the remembrance of me.\u201d Therefore, in the Holy Communion, we may believe Jesus\u2019 presence in the sacrament which is the bread and wine, or wafer and grape juice.
\nIn this season of advent, many of us are actually facing lots of difficulties and challenges, but the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, is among us, and the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have good news brought to them. These things are really happening and people can walk with Jesus Christ eternally because of the body and blood of Jesus Christ that strengthen us and give us the eternal lives. Let us confirm His Presence during this Advent, and let us receive His precious grace through the birth of Jesus and walk our lives with great hope and dream. Amen\u3002 <\/p>\n

\u201cJesus\u2019 Presence\u201d \u3000Matthew 11:2-11 Pr. H. Adachi May the Grace and Peace upon us in the name of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ! A six year old child asked me a question, \u201cWhen my mother was baptized, why you put water on her head?\u201d Actually, this was a very good question, and I answered to him, \u201cBefore you eat dinner, do you wash your hand to clean?

Can I do? I wonder\u2026\u201d Then I said to him, \u201cWhat a wonderful question you asked! Yes, the faith is to believe in God that is not seen.\u201d Then he did not ask any further question.
