Mark 16:1-8a
Today we have Mark’s account of the Resurrection. It’s very short, does not feature Christ, and doesn’t end in shouts of Hallelujah!
Instead, it features three women running away in fear.
Modern scholars agree that this is the original ending to Mark’s Gospel; the additional verses were added centuries later.
People often wonder why Mark would tell his Easter story this way.
Why would he tell us that Christ has been raised, but not show us Christ?
First, some history- Mark was written during a time when his city was under attack, and lives were being destroyed.
People were afraid, surrounded by chaos and death. Life had been turned upside down and the Temple where they worshipped was no more.
It’s believed that Mark was telling the story of Jesus to empower his community, to show them how they can face their sufferings the way Jesus did.
If this is the case, perhaps Mark did not want to create a lavish technicolor telling of the Resurrection- perhaps he felt that it would ring false for people living in black and greys.
Perhaps Mark used the emotions his community were experiencing-
grief, alarm, and the need to prepare.
Mark ends with the women being afraid, but fear is not necessarily a terrible thing.
Often time we like to place a judgement on an emotion, label something good or bad.
But emotions are not bad or good, they are just…emotions.
Think of fear in its purest form- an intuitive gift.
In nature, fear is the awareness that something is not right or the sense that danger is nearby.
In this context, fear can keep us safe.
Fear keeps us from walking down a path we’re better off avoiding.
Fear keeps us away from those who intend to do us great harm.
In today’s pandemic, fear can be the very thing that makes you wash your hands, or resist group gatherings, thus keeping you safe.
Fear can also be a great fuel.
Here’s a secret you may not know- every actor, singer, musician, public speaker carries with them great fear right before they do whatever it is they do.
But they learn how to harness that fear, redirect it and shape it into their art.
Those who made strides for human rights have faced great fears.
The suffragettes of the 1800s, the Civil Rights of the 60’s, the teachers demonstrating last year- they all had moments of fear.
That’s the reason why they do what they do.
They take their woes of the present, couple it with their worries about tomorrow, and use that fear to advocate for change.
Think about all the people right now who are dealing with the Corona virus-
-the grocery store and fast food employees, medical staff, politicians, worship leaders, church administrators, pastors, and food pantry volunteers.
They are all afraid as well.
But they are learning how to harness that fear, and find ways to safely-
serve, care, feed, and calm.
And they do so by also caring for themselves.
So yes, today’s reading is short, and it focuses on fear, but it also does something beautiful-
it tells the women, it tells the disciples, it tells US, to go back to Galilee, where Christ will meet us.
Why Galilee?
Well, Galilee is where we first met Jesus in Mark’s Gospel.
Second, Galilee is where the women and disciples came from.
Galilee was their home turf.
Maybe, just maybe, what we are being told is this-
Do you want to see where the Resurrected Christ is?
Do you really want to know where the Resurrected Christ can be found?
Look in your homes.
Christ is in your homes, even if you don’t realize it.
The Resurrected Christ can be found at your dining room table, where you gather to eat, drink and share your meals.
The Resurrected Christ is in your living room, where you gather as one.
Christ is in your bedroom where you sleep, dream, where you make love, and where you rest when you don’t feel well.
Christ is in your yard, your garden, your birdfeeder, the sounds of bees that are collecting nectar.
Christ is in your pets, the way they love on you, depend on you, and the way they comfort you.
Christ is in your relationships. Your children, your spouse, the family and friends.
Christ is even in you.
In your hopes, your goals, your heart.
If we wish to find the Resurrected Christ, we don’t have to leave our home. We can look around, take notice, and see.
Perhaps today we can be mindful and grateful of the ways in which Christ’s grace and mercy dwells in our home.
For those whose homes are not a place of peace or comfort, we pray that Christ finds a way to bring the calm and safety you deserve.
For those currently in transition or without a home, we pray that Christ moves through this moment to bring you to a place in which you can comfortably rest your head.
When this pandemic ends, and we are free to leave our homes, may we give thanks for the shelter our homes provided, the space they gave, and the ways in which Christ was present.
As Psalm 23 states “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
May the Resurrected Lord dwell in your homes during this time.
May each and every one of us find ways to channel our fears,
turning them into testimonies of how life, and not death, will have the final say.
Amen and amen.

Scriptures For A Time Like This #8; Exodus 14
Dear Beloved Community- Blessed Easter! Christ has risen!
Today's reading is the cinematic Exodus 14- the glorious parting of the Red Sea. This scripture has stood the test of time and inspired millions of people throughout millennia.
Why? Because it speaks about a powerful truth so many of the faithful know and have personally experienced- when our back is against the walls of water, when danger is in pursuit, when it seems like there is absolutely no way out, when fear and trembling and in-fighting takes over- God is still able to act, to do, to surprise...and to get us to the other side.
But note this- it took action from Moses to make it happen. It took action and profound bravery from the people to take that first step through the parted sea.
Was it easy? Heck no! Were there terrified people, muddy sandals, broken cart wheels, cries of fear and what was left behind? Yes. But through God, with God, and with one another, the people made it through even when death and destruction were a sure thing.
Friends and family- WE WILL get through. It's not going to be easy, it will be scary, there will be mud and brokenness and tears, but with God, through God, we will make it through these Red Sea waters and come out on the other side. Amen! Love, Pastor George

Narrative Lectionary Bible Study for 04 07 20; Mark 16:1-8a
Emmanuel UCC Narrative Lectionary Bible Study
Rev. George Miller
April 7, 2020
Mark 16:1-8a
Welcome to our #3 Narrative Lectionary Bible Study. Remember-
1) All thoughts are welcome; no one knows it all.
2) What kind of Bible are you using? A translation or an interpretation/paraphrase?
3) When reading the Bible, there is fact and there is truth. It was acceptable back then to use both to share info & ideas.
4) If anything challenges your belief- welcome to the club. Don’t give up- we’re all on our way to being theologians.
So…..Let’s get started.
Take a moment to read Sunday’s text, Mark 16:1-8a.
Take a breath to clear your head.
1st thing you may ask is “What is 8a?”
2nd thing you may ask is “Where is Jesus?”
3rd thing you may ask- “Why about the verses afterwards?’
Great questions. Let’s do some simple history. It is believed that the Mark was writing when Rome was attacking Jerusalem and the Temple was destroyed. Mark is writing for people who are scared and in survivor mode.
Scholars believe the original version of Mark ended with verse 8a in which the women flee the empty tomb, afraid.
This seemingly abrupt ending did not sit well with later generations, so around the 3rd Century, verse 13:b was added to create some closure. Verses 9-19 were added on at another time trying to create a “finished” product.
Why do you think Mark would choose to end the Gospel this way? How do we feel about the Gospel ending with questions as opposed to answers?
No one can answer these for you, but here are some thoughts
1) Maybe the author is using a storytelling technique in which it is the audience who bring closure to the story (Kind of like how GONE WITH THE WIND leaves us imagining what happens next for Scarlett and Rhett).
2) Maybe the disciples are not shown because we are expected to now be the disciples, taking the next chapter of the resurrection out into the world.
3) Maybe, by not showing the Resurrected Christ, the reader is made to seek out where the Resurrected Christ is in their own life.
For those who want to fill their week with extra study, here is something to do- read all the resurrection stories in the order they were most likely written and see what is different, what is the same.
1) I Corinthians 15:3-9, 12-17, written by Paul in the 40’s/50’s
2) Mark 16:1-8; written in the 70’s
3) Matthew 18, perhaps written in the 80s
4) Luke 14, perhaps written in the 90’s
5) John 20-21, perhaps written in the 100’s.
May today’s study be a blessing to you.
Much love, Pastor George

Scriptures for a Time Like This #7; April 6, 2020
Greetings Beloved Community. Today's reading comes from Exodus 12:29-32. It's the painful story of the 10th plague that hits Egypt, killing the firstborn. It's a complicated reading that leaves many questions.
One way to view this reading is as an allegory- a tale that tells us of the unfortunate consequences that can happen when leaders lead with ego, human life is not respected, fear is allowed to oppress others, and a nation's workforce is not seen as important as the work. What we witness in Exodus is how nature suffers, agriculture suffers, animals suffer, healthy bodies suffer, the economy suffers and innocent children suffer as well.
It seems that we are experiencing this right now. Our youngest and most innocent are being affected by the Corona pandemic, as well as how we are responding (or not responding) to it. Their lives will forever be changed and shaped by this moment.
I pray we find ways to watch over our young and our youth and keep them as safe as we can from the pain that's being manifested.
In peace and love, Pastor George

Something Out of Nothing- A Tribute to Our Mothers; Sermon on Mark 11:1-11
Rev. George Miller
April 5, 2020
Mark 11:1-11
During this time of the Corona pandemic and social distancing, creativity has been birthed by the chaos, as it so often happens.
All over social media we are seeing creative personalities emerge in which they’re not only entertaining themselves, but they are emotionally and socially feeding us with nothing more than the basic ingredients of time, space, and mind.
For example, a young lady who took three rolls of toilet paper, marked them up with numbers and images and staged her own slot machine.
She created an interactive skit about a gangsta grandmother who just wanted to be left alone while at the casino
This was broadcast live with people from all over the country watching, posting comments, and forming community…all over a single person who had nothing more than Charmin, a cell phone and a cunning imagination.
What we are witnessing is not just the positive power of social media, but something else, something much older, more ancient, and more ancestral-
The ability to turn nothing into something.
The ability to make something out of nothing is as old as creation itself when God’s spirit moved over the vast void and said “Let there be light.”
The ability to turn something out of nothing is as sacred as God looking upon Sarah and saying “From your empty womb I will bring forth a nation. Get up and GO!”
The ability to turn something out of nothing is as holy as Mary placing her baby in a manger.
The ability to turn something out of nothing is what our mothers, our aunties, our grandmothers, single parents, and nation’s forefathers knew all about.
Because we were created in God’s image, humans have the uncanny ability to take absolutely nothing and turn it into something so, so good.
For us in the south, we know just how good and healthy greens are. But we also know the history of greens-
They were left over parts of that the slaveholders didn’t want, so they tossed them to the slaves who said “We’re going to make this work.”
With cleaning, seasoning, and creativity, a dish was created that signals for millions of people comfort, love, and family.
For those in New England, lobsters were first seen as a poor person’s food, considering how abundant they were.
Women would hide their lobster stew when the preacher came by just so he didn’t think they were poor.
For those of Italian descent, you may know that ravioli was most likely just a way for mothers to feed their family with meat that was starting to go bad. By placing the protein in a pocket of noodle, no one could see what they were eating.
Sonny’s Barbeque, Red Lobster and Olive Garden all owe their existence to wise women who were simply trying to feed their family by turning nothing into something.
I think of my own mother who recently passed away this week. My mom had an incredible talent for turning the mundane into something special.
She’d wrap aluminum foil around a bottle of ginger ale to create the illusion of champagne.
She’d make edible necklaces by stringing Froot Loops on a piece of yarn.
On Sundays, she’d toss spaghetti with ketchup, cheddar cheese and parmesan.
Because she served it alongside grilled steak, I grew up thinking it was a classy pasta dish.
Then, about 10 years ago, someone burst my bubble and brought me into reality –
“Oh, that’s poor people’s food. Your mom was using ketchup instead of spaghetti sauce.”
Talk about a reality check…
….But you know what, I still make that dish all the time. In fact, I love it even more, because now I know:
it’s a dish created by creative survivors-
by family members who did what they had to do in order to make it through and make things last.
Something out of nothing.
Stale bread turned into croutons, water poured into soap containers and shaken all about, empty jelly jars turned into drinking glasses.
Something out of nothing.
Think about Communion. It’s nothing more than bread and juice.
Back in Jesus’ time, bread and wine were staples in every person’s home, no matter how rich, no matter how poor.
Something out of nothing.
Think of today, which is Palm Sunday, a story told in all 4 Gospels- Jesus rides into Jerusalem and is greeted by folk with signs and songs of exaltation.
But none of the 4 Gospels tell the story the same way.
Mark and John have the crowd shouting “Hosanna! Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord!”
Luke has them shout “Blessed is the King!” while Matthew has them say “Hosanna to the Son of David!”
Then there are the items the people use to welcome Jesus into their lives.
John has them using palm branches.
Luke shows the people spreading cloaks upon the path.
Matthew has them cutting tree branches.
But Mark? Mark is more raw, more earthy. A bit more like a mother.
He reports that the people spread their cloaks upon the road, and-
The people go out to the fields, taking whatever they can find- grass, rushes, leaves, branches, straw, and they spread out all these things upon the path.
The people literally use anything and everything they could find to welcome the Lord into their lives, climbing up trees, gathering items on the ground.
Like our mothers, abuelas, grandmothers, and field soldiers, they were creative, using what they had, and making it work.
The people in today’s story literally make something magnificent out of nothing.
So magnificent, that 2,000 years later we still remember what they did.
This moment is their collard greens, their lobster stew, their ravioli, their spaghetti and ketchup dish.
We can learn a lesson from our spiritual ancestors-
that when it comes to worshipping Christ, when it comes to welcoming Jesus into our existence,
we can use anything, anywhere, anytime.
We can worship and welcome Christ through song,
we can welcome Christ through silence,
we can welcome Christ in a sanctuary,
we can welcome Christ via LiveStream.
We can welcome Christ in French, Spanish, English and Sign.
We can welcome Christ with bread and juice, toast and coffee, a slice of pizza and sip of soda.
We can welcome Jesus into our lives with literally anything, in any place, at any time.
After all, welcome and worship is about your heart.
It’s about your testimony.
It’s about what your soul hungers and thirsts for.
What your spirit is thankful for.
What your conscience is sorry for.
What your heart hopes for.
Welcome and worship is about what you most desire for
Your family, Your friends
Your community, Your country
Yourself.
We can take absolutely nothing and turn it into something if we honestly and truly want to praise the Lord.
So here is what we invite you to do-
Just like the people in Mark’s gospel, take a moment and go- go and find.
Find something, anything that you can wave about.
We don’t care what it is-
A dishcloth
A newspaper
A t shirt
A cat.
Regardless if you are worshipping with us live via Facebook or hours later on YouTube,
We are all participants.
And just like that crowd in Jerusalem, in the true tradition of the human spirit,
Lift up your item and wave.
Wave your item knowing you are making something out of nothing,
wave knowing you are welcoming Christ,
wave knowing you are showing hope for the future.
In every time zone, in every place,
From Sebring to Haiti
Cuba to Canada
Ohio to Alabama
From California to Tennessee
Missouri to Michigan
Arizona to Orlando
From New York to Massachusetts
Let us all join as one colossal voice to say:
“Hosanna! Hosanna in the Highest Heaven!”
“Hosanna in the Highest Heaven!”
“Hosanna in the Highest Heaven!”
“Hosanna in the Highest Heaven!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna!
Amen!
