We Are Church Together
\nJohn 20:19-31
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

May the Grace and Peace of Jesus Christ be poured into the hearts of the people in this world!
\nSome Christians ask \u201cHave you been saved?\u201d I do not think I have ever heard Lutherans ask someone this question. I believe many of you now know that I was baptized in the Orthodox Christian Church but again, I do not think I have ever heard Orthodox Christians ask, \u201cHave you been saved?\u201d
\nAfter I married my wife, she was still attending one of the largest Protestant denomination churches, in Japan, called United Church of Christ. I attended that church too and, yet again, I never heard anyone ask, \u201cHave you been saved?\u201d
\nThen, about 10 years after Satoko and I were married, we came to the United States. I found that there are many non-denominational churches in Southern California (worshipping in English and Japanese). It seems like in many of them, people often ask \u201cHave you been saved?\u201d
\nI interpreted the meaning of the question as \u201cHave you been baptized or confirmed your Christian faith?\u201d But to me that question does not really make sense. I feel if you ask \u201cHave you been saved?\u201d the meaning behind it is \u201cAlthough we are saved, if you have not confirmed your faith or are not baptized, you are not saved.\u201d \u201cHave you been saved?\u201d is often used in a way that creates division among denominations. Is this really something Christians should say to non-Christians? Is this common sentiment even true? <\/p>\n

Today is the second Sunday of Easter in many Protestant denominations as well as in the Catholic Church. However, our brothers and sisters in Orthodox churches are celebrating Easter today this year (just for your information).
\nJesus was abandoned by his disciples Friday morning and sentenced to death and crucified and killed later that Friday afternoon. According to John 20, on the same day Jesus was resurrected, later in the afternoon on Sunday, Jesus came to see his disciples; the disciples saw the resurrected Jesus.
\nHowever, one of the twelve disciples, Thomas, was doing something else and was not with the other disciples when Jesus visited the other disciples. Later on, even though the other disciples said that they saw resurrected Jesus, Thomas insisted that he wouldn\u2019t believe them unless he saw Jesus himself. In a sense, as a consequence of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, a division occurred among the disciples.
\nI know, according to Luke, there were two other disciples who were heading to Emmaus that day. We might say that was a sort of division, too. Were these seeming divisions among the disciples Jesus\u2019 Intention? <\/p>\n

As we think about that issue, I believe we need to read the text more carefully. The resurrected Jesus neither accused nor retaliated against his disciples because of their abandonment. Instead he said, \u201cPeace be with you\u201d twice to his disciples on the first Sunday since he was risen.
\nAfter he said this, he talked about sending the disciples throughout the world first, and secondly, he breathed on them saying \u201cWelcome the Holy Spirit,\u201d and thirdly, as he was showing that he forgave them, he guided them to forgive sins of others. The Risen Jesus, the son of God, breathed on the disciples. This action is strongly connected to Genesis in that God breathed on Adam and Eve giving them life.
\nAs you know Adam, Eve and the whole of humanity are marked by sin. However, even though God\u2019s son, Jesus, was crucified and died, God resurrected Jesus and revealed His gracious forgiveness and gave new life to all human beings. Because of Jesus Christ\u2019s resurrection, humanity entered a completely new age.
\nAs I mentioned, at the beginning of my sermon, our brothers and sisters of the Orthodox Church are also celebrating Easter, I would like to share with you a famous icon in the Orthodox Church. Of course, the central figure is Jesus Christ; however, who are the two individuals being pulled from their tombs (or caskets) by Jesus? The answer is: Adam and Eve. Even the first two human beings who sinned were resurrected. <\/p>\n

Beyond ages, beyond races and nationalities, beyond Christian denominations and before the promise that Easter brings humanity is marked by sin and death. Easter, allows us to acknowledge and celebrate the Lord\u2019s gracious forgiveness and our new life. The world is different and we, human beings, are different and better because of Jesus\u2019 presence in our lives.
\nThe resurrection of Jesus Christ is not only for certain individuals or not only for certain churches. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is for all people. The resurrection is for the salvation of all time and all nations (i.e. the whole world). We, all Christians, are Church Together. We, all human beings, are all saved.
\nOn the Church calendar, that most churches follow, Easter season is seven weeks or 49 days. During the rest of this Easter season, as you reflect upon Jesus\u2019 resurrection, please think about what Church Together truly means. I hope and pray that you experience new perspectives about how God is leading Resurrection Lutheran Church to find ways that help unite our communities of faith, instead of focusing on things that divide us.
\nAmen. Pr. H. Adachi<\/p>\n

Some Christians ask \u201cHave you been saved?\u201d I do not think I have ever heard Lutherans ask someone this question. I believe many of you now know that I was baptized in the Orthodox Christian Church but again, I do not think I have ever heard Orthodox Christians ask, \u201cHave you been saved?\u201d After I married my wife, she was still attending one of the largest Protestant denomination churches, in Japan, called United Church of Christ. I attended that church too and, yet again, I never heard anyone ask, \u201cHave you been saved?\u201d Then, about 10 years after Satoko and I were married, we came to the United States. I found that there are many non-denominational churches in Southern California (worshipping in English and Japanese). It seems like in many of them, people often ask \u201cHave you been saved?\u201d I interpreted the meaning of the question as \u201cHave you been baptized or confirmed your Christian faith?\u201d But to me that question does not really make sense. I feel if you ask \u201cHave you been saved?\u201d the meaning behind it is \u201cAlthough we are saved, if you have not confirmed your faith or are not baptized, you are not saved.\u201d \u201cHave you been saved?\u201d is often used…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-9"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5273","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5273"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5273\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5424,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5273\/revisions\/5424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
