00:00:01.050 --> 00:00:02.526
I think Ben left us in a
00:00:02.548 --> 00:00:03.930
little bit of suspense,
00:00:04.090 --> 00:00:06.206
Jesus does answer her question,
00:00:06.308 --> 00:00:07.454
and he says, i,
00:00:07.492 --> 00:00:08.542
who speak to you,
00:00:08.596 --> 00:00:10.346
am He that would be the Messiah
00:00:10.378 --> 00:00:11.038
and the Christ.
00:00:11.124 --> 00:00:13.374
So it's always nice to have that
00:00:13.412 --> 00:00:15.114
little suspense answered
00:00:15.162 --> 00:00:17.070
so. Well grace to you,
00:00:17.140 --> 00:00:19.002
and peace from God our Father
00:00:19.066 --> 00:00:20.554
and from our Lord and Savior,
00:00:20.602 --> 00:00:23.070
Jesus Christ. Amen.
00:00:24.290 --> 00:00:26.322
In the movie O Brother,
00:00:26.386 --> 00:00:27.586
Where Art Thou?
00:00:27.698 --> 00:00:30.866
There is a flood scene.
00:00:31.058 --> 00:00:32.454
It happens near the
00:00:32.491 --> 00:00:33.762
end of the movie.
00:00:33.906 --> 00:00:36.134
The Soggy Bottom Boys have been
00:00:36.172 --> 00:00:38.326
caught by Sheriff Cooley and
00:00:38.348 --> 00:00:40.194
they are facing certain death.
00:00:40.242 --> 00:00:41.682
The graves are dug.
00:00:41.746 --> 00:00:43.666
The nooses are swinging
00:00:43.698 --> 00:00:44.790
in the trees.
00:00:45.610 --> 00:00:47.954
And you watch as they kneel.
00:00:48.002 --> 00:00:50.090
And you listen as they pray.
00:00:50.210 --> 00:00:53.054
And then the camera moves from
00:00:53.092 --> 00:00:55.470
their faces to the ground.
00:00:55.970 --> 00:00:57.290
And on the ground,
00:00:57.370 --> 00:00:59.770
you see this small trickle
00:01:00.170 --> 00:01:00.960
of water.
00:01:01.810 --> 00:01:04.090
The Tennessee Valley Authority
00:01:04.170 --> 00:01:06.218
is about to flood the Arcta
00:01:06.234 --> 00:01:08.814
Butta Valley and suddenly that
00:01:08.852 --> 00:01:11.294
trickle of water develops into a
00:01:11.332 --> 00:01:13.162
full flood that crashes
00:01:13.226 --> 00:01:14.186
through the trees,
00:01:14.298 --> 00:01:16.158
destroys the cabins and
00:01:16.244 --> 00:01:17.386
sweeps the Soggy,
00:01:17.418 --> 00:01:19.390
Bottom Boys and everything into
00:01:19.460 --> 00:01:21.598
a chaotic, watery mess.
00:01:21.684 --> 00:01:22.590
And for a moment,
00:01:22.660 --> 00:01:25.942
you as a viewer are submerged in
00:01:25.996 --> 00:01:29.190
the waters and they are deep
00:01:29.530 --> 00:01:31.554
and they are dangerous.
00:01:31.602 --> 00:01:33.794
As you watch as the world floats
00:01:33.842 --> 00:01:36.514
by cans of Dapper Dan's hair
00:01:36.562 --> 00:01:38.578
pomade and Sheriff Cooley's
00:01:38.594 --> 00:01:40.406
glasses and a bloodhound that
00:01:40.508 --> 00:01:43.414
can't get its footing. They are
00:01:43.452 --> 00:01:45.042
deep and they are dangerous
00:01:45.106 --> 00:01:47.000
but they are beautiful.
00:01:47.610 --> 00:01:49.698
For the waters take the Soggy,
00:01:49.714 --> 00:01:51.950
Bottom Boys to the surface
00:01:52.530 --> 00:01:56.218
where they are saved and soaked
00:01:56.394 --> 00:01:58.366
and ready to sing in
00:01:58.388 --> 00:01:59.180
a fallen world.
00:02:01.690 --> 00:02:04.014
I thought of that scene from the
00:02:04.051 --> 00:02:06.590
movie as I meditated on these
00:02:06.660 --> 00:02:09.021
windows in preparation for
00:02:09.076 --> 00:02:10.590
our chapel sermon.
00:02:11.410 --> 00:02:13.530
We are going to have a sermon
00:02:13.610 --> 00:02:15.562
series on the stained glass
00:02:15.626 --> 00:02:17.770
windows for Easter tide.
00:02:17.930 --> 00:02:19.086
There will be nine
00:02:19.188 --> 00:02:20.766
sermons in all.
00:02:20.948 --> 00:02:22.670
Some of the sermons will focus
00:02:22.740 --> 00:02:24.990
on very particular windows
00:02:25.370 --> 00:02:26.802
and other sermons.
00:02:26.866 --> 00:02:29.014
Other sermons will focus on a
00:02:29.052 --> 00:02:31.346
theme that you find in several
00:02:31.378 --> 00:02:32.130
of the windows.
00:02:32.210 --> 00:02:34.050
And this morning's sermon
00:02:34.130 --> 00:02:35.602
is focused on a theme,
00:02:35.666 --> 00:02:37.160
Waters of Life.
00:02:37.530 --> 00:02:39.574
Because it's the first theme you
00:02:39.612 --> 00:02:40.774
encounter when you come
00:02:40.812 --> 00:02:42.146
into Northex,
00:02:42.338 --> 00:02:44.630
and it's a theme that is present
00:02:44.780 --> 00:02:47.510
in every single window.
00:02:48.090 --> 00:02:49.526
So what I'd like to do this
00:02:49.548 --> 00:02:51.006
morning is I'd like to look at
00:02:51.028 --> 00:02:53.614
the windows and I'd like to
00:02:53.652 --> 00:02:56.526
listen to scripture that we
00:02:56.548 --> 00:02:59.900
might remember our baptism
00:03:00.090 --> 00:03:02.160
Into the waters of life.
00:03:03.570 --> 00:03:05.470
So let's look at the windows.
00:03:05.890 --> 00:03:08.174
I often give chapel tours of
00:03:08.212 --> 00:03:09.930
these stained glass windows.
00:03:10.010 --> 00:03:12.366
And every tour I give,
00:03:12.548 --> 00:03:14.590
somebody tells me that they are
00:03:14.660 --> 00:03:16.414
overwhelmed when they
00:03:16.452 --> 00:03:17.370
look at the windows.
00:03:17.450 --> 00:03:20.634
There is so much that is packed
00:03:20.682 --> 00:03:22.266
into them. So many figures,
00:03:22.298 --> 00:03:23.658
so many events,
00:03:23.834 --> 00:03:25.906
so many symbols that they don't
00:03:25.938 --> 00:03:27.110
even know where to begin.
00:03:27.180 --> 00:03:28.754
And even if you take a theme
00:03:28.802 --> 00:03:30.694
like Waters of Life, well,
00:03:30.732 --> 00:03:31.462
where do you go?
00:03:31.516 --> 00:03:32.914
Do you go to the Ethiopian
00:03:32.962 --> 00:03:34.406
Eunuch and the baptism back
00:03:34.428 --> 00:03:35.986
there? Do you go to the Red Sea?
00:03:36.018 --> 00:03:37.954
Do you go to Ezekiel's Temple
00:03:38.002 --> 00:03:39.574
and the water flowing out of it,
00:03:39.612 --> 00:03:41.046
the New Jerusalem and the
00:03:41.067 --> 00:03:42.054
water flowing out there?
00:03:42.091 --> 00:03:44.454
We are just surrounded by so
00:03:44.492 --> 00:03:46.242
many things. It is overwhelming,
00:03:46.305 --> 00:03:46.934
and we don't know
00:03:46.972 --> 00:03:47.960
where to start.
00:03:48.329 --> 00:03:49.966
So what I would like to do is
00:03:50.028 --> 00:03:51.934
invite you to look at the
00:03:51.972 --> 00:03:54.640
windows in a different way.
00:03:56.770 --> 00:03:59.290
I once had an artist
00:04:00.650 --> 00:04:01.934
take me to the St.
00:04:01.972 --> 00:04:04.394
Louis Art Museum to settle
00:04:04.442 --> 00:04:05.550
an argument.
00:04:06.450 --> 00:04:08.160
You know she's going to win.
00:04:08.850 --> 00:04:10.830
She wanted me to see things
00:04:10.900 --> 00:04:11.774
in a different way.
00:04:11.812 --> 00:04:13.502
I had expressed to her my
00:04:13.556 --> 00:04:16.000
dislike of modern art.
00:04:16.529 --> 00:04:18.074
You see a big painting
00:04:18.122 --> 00:04:19.226
of Orange,
00:04:19.418 --> 00:04:21.245
and I just don't understand
00:04:21.428 --> 00:04:22.794
why that's in a museum.
00:04:22.842 --> 00:04:23.902
And she said, Well,
00:04:24.036 --> 00:04:25.542
I want to help you see things
00:04:25.596 --> 00:04:26.502
in a different way.
00:04:26.556 --> 00:04:28.066
So I went to the museum
00:04:28.098 --> 00:04:28.566
with her. Now,
00:04:28.588 --> 00:04:29.794
we get to the art museum,
00:04:29.842 --> 00:04:31.554
and I immediately want to drag
00:04:31.602 --> 00:04:33.446
her into the modern art wing and
00:04:33.468 --> 00:04:35.106
show her the painting of Orange.
00:04:35.218 --> 00:04:36.822
But she won't let me do that.
00:04:36.956 --> 00:04:39.814
She drags me to a room,
00:04:39.932 --> 00:04:41.622
a rather large room.
00:04:41.676 --> 00:04:42.866
We're standing in the door,
00:04:42.898 --> 00:04:44.786
and it's Renaissance paintings
00:04:44.818 --> 00:04:46.194
of a classical style,
00:04:46.242 --> 00:04:48.118
the kind of stuff I would call
00:04:48.204 --> 00:04:50.014
art and see beautiful.
00:04:50.172 --> 00:04:51.486
So we're standing there at
00:04:51.508 --> 00:04:53.326
the door, and she says,
00:04:53.508 --> 00:04:55.054
tell me which one is your
00:04:55.092 --> 00:04:57.166
favorite? And I said, Well,
00:04:57.188 --> 00:04:58.190
I'm going to have to go see.
00:04:58.260 --> 00:04:59.278
And she says what?
00:04:59.364 --> 00:04:59.820
You can't see
00:05:00.330 --> 00:05:01.726
from here? I said no.
00:05:01.748 --> 00:05:02.814
I have to go
00:05:02.932 --> 00:05:04.126
and I have to look at the
00:05:04.148 --> 00:05:05.662
painting and read the little
00:05:05.716 --> 00:05:07.966
card that tells me its title and
00:05:07.988 --> 00:05:09.086
what it was made and what
00:05:09.108 --> 00:05:09.774
I should look for.
00:05:09.812 --> 00:05:10.766
And then I'll come back and
00:05:10.788 --> 00:05:11.594
I'll look at the painting.
00:05:11.642 --> 00:05:12.446
And when I've done that
00:05:12.468 --> 00:05:13.438
with all of them,
00:05:13.524 --> 00:05:15.006
I can then tell you which one is
00:05:15.028 --> 00:05:17.182
my favorite. And she said, no,
00:05:17.236 --> 00:05:18.654
I want you to see from here.
00:05:18.692 --> 00:05:19.822
I said, I can't see them.
00:05:19.876 --> 00:05:21.790
She said, Take off your glasses.
00:05:22.450 --> 00:05:24.042
So I took off my glasses.
00:05:24.106 --> 00:05:25.640
It didn't help.
00:05:27.370 --> 00:05:29.957
I'm looking at blurry things,
00:05:30.044 --> 00:05:30.934
right? And she said,
00:05:30.972 --> 00:05:31.986
which one is your favorite?
00:05:32.018 --> 00:05:33.014
And I said, Well,
00:05:33.132 --> 00:05:35.222
I guess that one over there.
00:05:35.276 --> 00:05:37.494
And she said, why? And I said,
00:05:37.532 --> 00:05:37.686
Well,
00:05:37.707 --> 00:05:40.338
I kind of like the way the blue
00:05:40.514 --> 00:05:42.022
hovers over the green
00:05:42.076 --> 00:05:43.190
and the yellow.
00:05:43.770 --> 00:05:44.582
And she said,
00:05:44.636 --> 00:05:47.400
now you're seeing modern art.
00:05:48.010 --> 00:05:50.750
Modern art brings things to the
00:05:50.820 --> 00:05:55.440
fundamentals color, form.
00:05:55.970 --> 00:05:58.606
Without color and without form,
00:05:58.707 --> 00:05:59.420
I would never
00:06:00.090 --> 00:06:02.094
have the paintings that I
00:06:02.132 --> 00:06:04.400
think are so beautiful.
00:06:05.170 --> 00:06:07.854
She taught me to see by looking
00:06:07.972 --> 00:06:10.362
for the most basic,
00:06:10.506 --> 00:06:13.502
fundamental thing that is
00:06:13.556 --> 00:06:15.840
necessary for everything else.
00:06:16.850 --> 00:06:18.766
I'd like you to look at the
00:06:18.788 --> 00:06:21.200
chapel windows that way.
00:06:21.730 --> 00:06:23.930
I'd like you to choose a window,
00:06:24.010 --> 00:06:27.670
any window, and look for blue.
00:06:28.250 --> 00:06:29.350
Don't look for people.
00:06:29.420 --> 00:06:30.434
Don't look for events.
00:06:30.482 --> 00:06:32.790
Just look for the color blue.
00:06:33.130 --> 00:06:33.974
When you look for
00:06:34.012 --> 00:06:35.234
that color blue,
00:06:35.362 --> 00:06:36.550
you might want to start
00:06:36.620 --> 00:06:37.622
near the bottom,
00:06:37.756 --> 00:06:38.902
because near the bottom
00:06:38.956 --> 00:06:39.810
of the windows,
00:06:39.890 --> 00:06:43.250
we have waves of darker blue.
00:06:43.409 --> 00:06:45.282
And as your eye moves
00:06:45.346 --> 00:06:46.514
up the window,
00:06:46.642 --> 00:06:47.909
you're going to find that
00:06:47.980 --> 00:06:49.462
sometimes the blue gets
00:06:49.516 --> 00:06:50.810
a little bit lighter,
00:06:50.890 --> 00:06:52.446
and then you're going to reach a
00:06:52.468 --> 00:06:54.862
point in the window where they
00:06:54.916 --> 00:06:57.582
stop having any blue and
00:06:57.636 --> 00:06:59.610
suddenly you have clear glass
00:07:00.410 --> 00:07:02.320
that looks out into the world.
00:07:02.770 --> 00:07:04.622
And so as you look at that one
00:07:04.676 --> 00:07:06.746
window you see the bottom filled
00:07:06.778 --> 00:07:08.906
with this watery blue that leads
00:07:08.938 --> 00:07:10.266
to a top where there's
00:07:10.298 --> 00:07:11.406
a dividing line.
00:07:11.508 --> 00:07:12.446
And then you have the
00:07:12.468 --> 00:07:14.010
air and the sky.
00:07:14.170 --> 00:07:15.994
And when you take your window
00:07:16.042 --> 00:07:16.926
and you join it to
00:07:16.948 --> 00:07:17.930
the underwindows,
00:07:18.010 --> 00:07:19.422
all of a sudden you start
00:07:19.476 --> 00:07:20.720
to see something.
00:07:21.090 --> 00:07:23.374
You start to see that there is a
00:07:23.412 --> 00:07:26.614
line of water that flows right
00:07:26.652 --> 00:07:29.090
about the height of the balcony
00:07:29.170 --> 00:07:31.670
that flows all the way through
00:07:31.740 --> 00:07:33.409
every single window.
00:07:33.490 --> 00:07:35.638
So it is as if we are
00:07:35.724 --> 00:07:38.006
submerged in water.
00:07:38.108 --> 00:07:40.322
We have the blue slate floors,
00:07:40.386 --> 00:07:43.106
these weirdly green blue pews.
00:07:43.218 --> 00:07:45.174
We have the blue lectern and now
00:07:45.212 --> 00:07:47.606
we've got these blue windows so
00:07:47.628 --> 00:07:49.094
that when you come into this
00:07:49.132 --> 00:07:51.694
chapel there is no way you can
00:07:51.732 --> 00:07:55.466
get outside the gracious waters
00:07:55.498 --> 00:07:57.598
of baptism that keep
00:07:57.683 --> 00:07:59.150
you alive.
00:07:59.650 --> 00:07:59.900
and.
00:08:00.650 --> 00:08:00.814
Now,
00:08:00.852 --> 00:08:02.250
before you get too comfortable,
00:08:02.330 --> 00:08:04.222
notice that these waters are
00:08:04.276 --> 00:08:06.750
deep and they are dangerous.
00:08:07.330 --> 00:08:09.294
There might float by you the
00:08:09.332 --> 00:08:11.310
head of John the Baptist,
00:08:12.210 --> 00:08:14.750
maybe an executioner sword.
00:08:15.090 --> 00:08:17.002
You'll see the apostle Paul
00:08:17.066 --> 00:08:18.766
struck blind by God on
00:08:18.788 --> 00:08:19.902
the Damascus road.
00:08:19.956 --> 00:08:21.002
You've got lightning
00:08:21.066 --> 00:08:22.154
out of Mount Sinai,
00:08:22.202 --> 00:08:24.138
a dead snake on a stick.
00:08:24.234 --> 00:08:25.314
You've got a lion,
00:08:25.362 --> 00:08:27.106
a ferocious lion being held
00:08:27.138 --> 00:08:28.418
back by an angel.
00:08:28.514 --> 00:08:30.326
These waters are deep and
00:08:30.348 --> 00:08:31.362
they are dangerous,
00:08:31.426 --> 00:08:32.902
but they are deeply and
00:08:32.956 --> 00:08:35.000
dangerously beautiful.
00:08:36.169 --> 00:08:37.782
Because at the depth of these
00:08:37.836 --> 00:08:40.440
waters is Jesus Christ,
00:08:40.890 --> 00:08:42.342
who brings you out
00:08:42.395 --> 00:08:44.520
of death to life.
00:08:45.770 --> 00:08:48.470
So that's looking at the windows
00:08:49.530 --> 00:08:50.560
Now,
00:08:50.930 --> 00:08:53.550
let's listen to the scriptures.
00:08:54.610 --> 00:08:56.174
The Samaritan woman goes
00:08:56.212 --> 00:08:58.000
to a well to draw water
00:08:59.250 --> 00:08:59.740
and she
00:09:00.090 --> 00:09:02.654
discovers that Jesus is the
00:09:02.692 --> 00:09:05.360
source of the waters of life.
00:09:08.110 --> 00:09:09.482
She went to the well
00:09:09.616 --> 00:09:11.100
to draw water.
00:09:12.190 --> 00:09:14.234
It was not a moment of rest and
00:09:14.272 --> 00:09:16.860
relaxation for her. It was work.
00:09:17.470 --> 00:09:18.780
Hard work.
00:09:19.470 --> 00:09:22.154
Hard work made harder by the
00:09:22.192 --> 00:09:24.250
burdens that she carried.
00:09:24.830 --> 00:09:27.490
The men she had known,
00:09:28.310 --> 00:09:29.602
or better yet,
00:09:29.736 --> 00:09:33.282
the men who had known her had
00:09:33.336 --> 00:09:36.002
used her and had left her with
00:09:36.056 --> 00:09:38.370
certificates of divorce.
00:09:39.110 --> 00:09:43.202
And so marked was she by the men
00:09:43.256 --> 00:09:45.970
who had used her that the man
00:09:46.040 --> 00:09:48.530
who now had her wouldn't even
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:50.146
give her the dignity of
00:09:50.168 --> 00:09:51.638
being called his wife.
00:09:51.734 --> 00:09:54.826
He was just one more man in a
00:09:54.848 --> 00:09:57.210
line of men who would take her
00:09:57.280 --> 00:09:59.560
and use her and leave her each
00:10:00.090 --> 00:10:02.238
time a little less human in the
00:10:02.244 --> 00:10:05.022
eyes of others and a little
00:10:05.076 --> 00:10:07.950
less beautiful to herself.
00:10:09.250 --> 00:10:10.718
So she came to the well
00:10:10.804 --> 00:10:12.240
to draw water,
00:10:13.250 --> 00:10:14.830
but she was weary,
00:10:15.490 --> 00:10:18.414
and what she needed what she
00:10:18.452 --> 00:10:20.574
needed was the water of life
00:10:20.772 --> 00:10:22.990
to restore her soul.
00:10:24.530 --> 00:10:27.510
And now at the well is Jesus.
00:10:28.170 --> 00:10:31.062
They're so close that they can
00:10:31.116 --> 00:10:32.950
see and talk and touch
00:10:33.020 --> 00:10:33.590
one another,
00:10:33.660 --> 00:10:36.242
and yet they are they are worlds
00:10:36.306 --> 00:10:38.930
apart. He is a Jew.
00:10:39.090 --> 00:10:41.270
She is a Samaritan. He is a man.
00:10:41.340 --> 00:10:43.394
She is a woman. He is a rabbi.
00:10:43.442 --> 00:10:44.230
She is one
00:10:44.300 --> 00:10:46.870
sinned against and sinning.
00:10:47.850 --> 00:10:49.750
And yet she is weary.
00:10:50.610 --> 00:10:53.920
And he is weary, too.
00:10:54.850 --> 00:10:56.874
Wearied from his journey,
00:10:56.922 --> 00:10:58.720
he sits by the well.
00:10:59.490 --> 00:10:59.850
He's
00:11:00.170 --> 00:11:01.822
not wearied just from the
00:11:01.876 --> 00:11:03.594
physical journey from Judea
00:11:03.642 --> 00:11:04.734
to Samaria. No,
00:11:04.772 --> 00:11:07.182
he's he's wearied by the kind of
00:11:07.236 --> 00:11:09.790
spiritual journey he is on.
00:11:09.940 --> 00:11:11.482
He was down in Judea.
00:11:11.546 --> 00:11:12.714
He was ministering.
00:11:12.762 --> 00:11:14.446
He was calling disciples and the
00:11:14.468 --> 00:11:17.374
disciples he had outnumbered the
00:11:17.412 --> 00:11:18.714
disciples that were following
00:11:18.762 --> 00:11:20.506
John the Baptizer outnumbered
00:11:20.538 --> 00:11:22.490
them so much that the Pharisees
00:11:22.570 --> 00:11:24.058
started to take notice.
00:11:24.154 --> 00:11:26.102
He started to experienced the
00:11:26.156 --> 00:11:28.246
opposition of the Pharisees and
00:11:28.268 --> 00:11:30.534
he began to get weary of
00:11:30.572 --> 00:11:32.882
fighting weary of fighting
00:11:32.946 --> 00:11:35.430
against the pious platitudes
00:11:35.770 --> 00:11:37.878
about keeping the Sabbath that
00:11:37.964 --> 00:11:39.686
silence the message of the
00:11:39.708 --> 00:11:41.526
Gospel. Weary of the social
00:11:41.628 --> 00:11:44.840
niceties that are not nice.
00:11:45.210 --> 00:11:47.638
Sick and tired of taking this
00:11:47.724 --> 00:11:49.966
kingdom of God and trying to fit
00:11:50.028 --> 00:11:52.382
it into the small boxes made
00:11:52.436 --> 00:11:54.586
by even smaller minds.
00:11:54.698 --> 00:11:57.054
He is sick and tired of the
00:11:57.092 --> 00:11:58.494
fight and weary and
00:11:58.532 --> 00:11:59.610
so he leaves
00:12:00.170 --> 00:12:00.474
Judea.
00:12:00.522 --> 00:12:01.822
He doesn't go the long
00:12:01.876 --> 00:12:03.082
way up to Galilee.
00:12:03.146 --> 00:12:04.878
He's sick of the social 90s.
00:12:04.884 --> 00:12:06.078
He goes straight through
00:12:06.164 --> 00:12:06.890
Samaria.
00:12:06.970 --> 00:12:08.558
He sits down at the well.
00:12:08.644 --> 00:12:10.682
He sees a Samaritan woman.
00:12:10.746 --> 00:12:12.570
And against all of our pious
00:12:12.650 --> 00:12:15.754
platitudes and social etiquette,
00:12:15.802 --> 00:12:16.910
he says, hey,
00:12:17.060 --> 00:12:19.310
can you give me a drink?
00:12:22.510 --> 00:12:23.580
And she
00:12:25.070 --> 00:12:27.442
is faced with water that
00:12:27.496 --> 00:12:30.370
is deep and dangerous.
00:12:31.510 --> 00:12:33.070
There is a deep,
00:12:33.230 --> 00:12:36.770
long standing animosity between
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:38.530
Jews and Samaritans
00:12:39.590 --> 00:12:41.586
and there is a danger for a
00:12:41.608 --> 00:12:44.210
woman like her to talk
00:12:44.280 --> 00:12:46.660
to a man at a well.
00:12:47.430 --> 00:12:48.574
The gossip,
00:12:48.702 --> 00:12:50.660
the stories that will be told.
00:12:51.190 --> 00:12:52.380
And yet,
00:12:53.070 --> 00:12:55.100
perhaps when she looks,
00:12:56.430 --> 00:12:59.720
she sees reflected in his face
00:13:00.090 --> 00:13:03.230
her weariness.
00:13:04.690 --> 00:13:07.962
And so this wearied soul cries
00:13:08.026 --> 00:13:10.990
out to a wearied savior and
00:13:11.060 --> 00:13:14.222
starts a conversation that
00:13:14.276 --> 00:13:16.910
ultimately restores her soul.
00:13:18.850 --> 00:13:22.190
How do you restore a soul?
00:13:23.250 --> 00:13:23.774
I mean,
00:13:23.812 --> 00:13:26.338
the body body we can heal,
00:13:26.434 --> 00:13:27.174
right?
00:13:27.372 --> 00:13:29.702
A surgeon can take a knife and
00:13:29.756 --> 00:13:31.094
cut through your flesh and
00:13:31.132 --> 00:13:32.162
open up your chest,
00:13:32.226 --> 00:13:34.342
and she can reach in and touch
00:13:34.396 --> 00:13:35.862
with her finger your
00:13:35.915 --> 00:13:37.000
beating heart.
00:13:37.930 --> 00:13:39.350
But your soul,
00:13:40.010 --> 00:13:41.560
well, that's a different matter.
00:13:42.410 --> 00:13:44.310
We can't see the soul.
00:13:44.970 --> 00:13:46.374
We can't touch it.
00:13:46.492 --> 00:13:48.454
And yet the soul feels the
00:13:48.492 --> 00:13:50.120
touch of life, right?
00:13:50.850 --> 00:13:54.590
Abuse that ends your childhood
00:13:54.930 --> 00:13:56.160
way too early.
00:13:57.250 --> 00:13:59.820
A miscarriage that drowns your
00:14:00.090 --> 00:14:01.790
dreams of parenthood,
00:14:02.690 --> 00:14:05.614
a line of marriages that makes
00:14:05.652 --> 00:14:07.262
you less human and
00:14:07.316 --> 00:14:08.240
less beautiful.
00:14:09.730 --> 00:14:12.526
Perhaps she's not the only
00:14:12.628 --> 00:14:15.790
one at the well who needs
00:14:15.860 --> 00:14:17.710
restoration of her soul.
00:14:18.130 --> 00:14:21.280
And to her and to you,
00:14:21.970 --> 00:14:25.810
Jesus comes for bringing
00:14:25.970 --> 00:14:27.880
waters of life.
00:14:28.410 --> 00:14:30.050
They begin a conversation,
00:14:30.130 --> 00:14:30.694
and she says,
00:14:30.732 --> 00:14:31.334
where are you going
00:14:31.372 --> 00:14:32.150
to get this water?
00:14:32.220 --> 00:14:33.746
Are you greater than our father,
00:14:33.778 --> 00:14:34.454
Jacob? Well,
00:14:34.492 --> 00:14:35.814
of course he's greater than
00:14:35.852 --> 00:14:36.882
her Father Jacob.
00:14:36.946 --> 00:14:38.598
He doesn't need water from a
00:14:38.604 --> 00:14:39.974
well because the water he
00:14:40.012 --> 00:14:41.606
has comes from within.
00:14:41.788 --> 00:14:43.826
It is his life and his suffering
00:14:43.858 --> 00:14:45.222
and his death and his
00:14:45.276 --> 00:14:46.902
resurrection that will provide
00:14:47.036 --> 00:14:48.342
the water of life.
00:14:48.396 --> 00:14:50.590
It is in the Gospel of John and
00:14:50.660 --> 00:14:52.190
only the Gospel of John
00:14:52.260 --> 00:14:53.306
with the dead,
00:14:53.338 --> 00:14:55.370
Christ is pierced with a sword
00:14:55.450 --> 00:14:57.998
and out of his side you see
00:14:58.084 --> 00:15:00.766
a small trickle of water.
00:15:00.948 --> 00:15:03.818
And that water becomes a flood
00:15:03.914 --> 00:15:06.222
that will bring new life,
00:15:06.356 --> 00:15:08.142
that every sin and every
00:15:08.196 --> 00:15:10.462
suffering are taken upon this
00:15:10.516 --> 00:15:12.922
Jesus. And out of this Jesus,
00:15:12.986 --> 00:15:15.102
he will raise you to new life.
00:15:15.156 --> 00:15:16.986
And so he talks to this woman,
00:15:17.018 --> 00:15:18.666
and he speaks to her and tells
00:15:18.698 --> 00:15:19.774
her everything she
00:15:19.812 --> 00:15:20.542
has ever done.
00:15:20.596 --> 00:15:22.826
And she is ashamed as she hears
00:15:22.858 --> 00:15:24.010
these things from Jesus.
00:15:24.090 --> 00:15:26.630
But the way this man talks,
00:15:27.690 --> 00:15:29.138
how he knows,
00:15:29.234 --> 00:15:31.334
is unlike the way anyone
00:15:31.452 --> 00:15:33.880
else has known her.
00:15:34.650 --> 00:15:35.400
Finally,
00:15:37.610 --> 00:15:40.760
she has met a man who gives
00:15:42.090 --> 00:15:43.560
rather than takes.
00:15:44.890 --> 00:15:46.200
And what he gives
00:15:47.290 --> 00:15:51.002
what he gives restores your soul
00:15:51.146 --> 00:15:53.920
and makes her beautiful.
00:15:56.210 --> 00:15:59.070
He's still there our Jesus
00:15:59.410 --> 00:16:01.120
by that well of water.
00:16:02.290 --> 00:16:03.806
And I would encourage you when
00:16:03.828 --> 00:16:05.082
you come into the chapel,
00:16:05.146 --> 00:16:08.720
to look and to listen for him.
00:16:09.730 --> 00:16:10.554
In the windows,
00:16:10.602 --> 00:16:12.154
you see the waters of creation
00:16:12.202 --> 00:16:13.498
with a spirit hovering
00:16:13.514 --> 00:16:14.238
over the water.
00:16:14.324 --> 00:16:15.902
You have the waters of the new
00:16:15.956 --> 00:16:18.282
creation with Christ entering
00:16:18.346 --> 00:16:20.410
into the waters of baptism,
00:16:20.490 --> 00:16:22.186
fully identifying with our sin.
00:16:22.218 --> 00:16:23.242
And in that Narthex,
00:16:23.306 --> 00:16:25.122
between the windows of creation
00:16:25.226 --> 00:16:26.438
and the waters of the
00:16:26.444 --> 00:16:27.154
new creation,
00:16:27.202 --> 00:16:29.270
there is the baptismal font.
00:16:30.010 --> 00:16:31.926
Where you can look in and see
00:16:32.028 --> 00:16:33.094
reflected in that
00:16:33.132 --> 00:16:34.520
water your face,
00:16:35.290 --> 00:16:37.894
this beautiful child of God.
00:16:38.092 --> 00:16:40.134
And you can dip your finger and
00:16:40.172 --> 00:16:43.014
have a trickle of water and then
00:16:43.052 --> 00:16:44.934
walk into this chapel where you
00:16:44.972 --> 00:16:46.982
are submerged in these
00:16:47.036 --> 00:16:48.034
waters of grace.
00:16:48.082 --> 00:16:51.694
And you you by the promise that
00:16:51.732 --> 00:16:53.454
there will be a day when
00:16:53.492 --> 00:16:56.665
you surface saved,
00:16:56.858 --> 00:16:59.340
soaked and singing the
00:17:00.330 --> 00:17:02.990
Te Deum to Christ your Lord.
00:17:03.650 --> 00:17:04.170
Amen.
