Patrick BauerPlanner I LEGALS LEGALSPublished Nov. 9 & 16, 2022 LEGALS LEGALSPublished Nov. 9 , 2022 LEGALS LEGALSPublished Nov. 9 , 2022 LEGALS LEGALSPublished Nov. 9 , 2022 “So now Israel, what do you think GOD expects from you? Just this: Live in his presence in holy reverence, follow the road he sets out for you, love him, serve GOD, your God, with everything you have in you, obey the command- ments and regulations of GOD that I’m commanding you today—live a good life.” - Deuteronomy 10:12-13 Here’s an old Hebrew story to make us think… There was a rabbi whose days were long with having not much life left in him. His name was Yeshua… the name we would say out loud as… ‘Joshua!’Anew and younger rabbi had now been chosen to walk with Yeshua in his final days to meet the people and to learn of the details of daily life in the synagogue. They talked of many things… the old and sacred things of God and the things of what was to come. ‘Has this been a good life for you, rabbi?’asked the younger scholar. ‘Yes, o yes!’ Yeshua responded quickly and with a certain sense of satisfaction filled with a confi- dent hope… ‘that’s good,’ the young rabbi replied. ‘Yes, it is…’torted back Yeshua… ‘yet, I have just one worry.’The younger rabbi looked stunned but heard the concern in Yeshua’s voice. ‘What are you worried about? That when you die and stand before God you will be asked… why weren’t you more like Abraham?’Yeshua glanced back then lowered his head… saying… ‘no, not that.’‘Are you wor- ried God will ask you why you weren’t more like Moses or one of the prophets?’the young rabbi continued… ‘No, I’m not worried about that, either?’ said the dying old man… ‘I’m worried that when I stand before God… I will be asked… why weren’t you… Yeshua?’ Great expectations. We all have them. God does, too, it seems. From as far back as parents were having children… there was always a hope their child would be… some- body… be known… do good… and be remembered as someone who made a difference… a recipe’ for both frus- tration and failure if I ever heard one and it took until my mid-20’s to finally learn my level of frustration was always equal to and as high as my level of expectation and the only way to reduce my frustration was to lower my expectations. Whoah! And when it comes to expectations… I can honest- ly admit that those of my parents along with my expecta- tions of self… tacked to the holy expectations for us all… are not so much unique, and varied but not that different at all… My parents wanted me to have a better education than they did. I wanted to play college basketball. So, I came to Texas. God wanted me to be a preacher and the only way to make that happen was to get me to Texas and introduce me to people who would encourage me to go to seminary and eventually be a pastor. On the other hand… my grand- mother wanted me to be happy… so maybe we’re all win- ners here in this re-telling…but it must be said…many of my fraternity brothers are still talking… almost fifty years now…asking…“what was God thinking…?”when answer- ing the question..‘is Gigee still a preacher?’ Faith matters. We all disappoint God… all of us… despite our tapping into the ways of God to make life much more manageable… yet… I suspect that’s been the case since the man and the woman tried to be God and the people of Babel tried to build a tower to get to God. But, even so… God does not lower the expectations. Why? The Bible over and over says… “God will get it done for us…” my paraphrase of a combination of many verses on both sides of Malachi and Matthew… God’s great expectation reflecting eternal love and grace and providing just cause for Jesus to come into the world… God in the flesh… God in human form to accomplish in dying what we cannot do and even refuse to do for ourselves… and then there’s this… Jesus told his dis- ciples something good for the world… “treat others as you want others to treat you!” (Luke 6:31) … the greatest expectation of all!
