DEVOTIONAL
Today’s Reading: Proverbs 25:6-14
Daily Lectionary: Deuteronomy 12:13-32; Matthew 12:38-50
Daily Lectionary: Deuteronomy 12:13-32; Matthew 12:38-50
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver. (Proverbs 25:11)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. It doesn’t take much more time to ruin a reputation than it does to stab someone. The knife wound heals more quickly. Reputation is a fragile thing. A good one is a gift from God. He cares about your reputation. He cares what people say about you, even though He knows every terrible thing you’ve thought but knew better than to say out loud. He wants them to see you the way He does. Forgiven. “Talk about this person like I took their sins away and washed them white in my blood,” says the Lord. He wants you to look that good, because that’s how He sees you. Pure. Holy. Worthy of love. Christ-washed. Baptized.
He cares about your neighbor’s reputation, too. That doesn’t mean you should ignore their sin or call it good. It doesn’t mean you should pretend to be an optimist or pretend you’re not hurt or angry. Start with Jesus, not your heart. Hear that Jesus loves your neighbor. He died for her. If you can’t see past her sin, see it on the cross where He bore it, then ask how He would speak of her: the same way He does for you. Not eager to condemn, but not ignoring wrong. Bearing it Himself in mercy.
This changes our words. Reproof becomes like a gold ring because it isn’t about casting someone down. Jesus already fell into the pit for them. It’s about raising them up. Sin breaks stuff. I don’t want you to hurt. We don’t need to put ourselves forward on the basis of what we’ve done.
Your reputation matters, but that’s because God has earned it. He fulfilled the Law for you. In the pit of your sins, you were told “Come up here” By the Lord who would dive down into the pit to raise you up Himself. “Don’t stay down there. Be with me,” says the King of kings to you. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. -Rev. Harrison Goodman
Thou art King of Glory, Christ; Son of God, yet born of Mary. For us sinners sacrificed, As to death a Tributary, First to break the bars of death, Thou hast opened heav’n to faith. (Holy God, We Praise Thy Name, LSB 940:4)
