Week 5 \u2014 Resurrection<\/h1>\n

\u2022\u2022\u2022<\/h3>\n

Jeremiah 31:31-34; Psalm 51:1-12; Hebrews 5:5-10; John 12:20-33<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIn the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard.\u201d \u2014Hebrews 5:7<\/em><\/p>\n

Thus far in our Lenten journey, we have considered what it means to encounter God in experiences of reconciliation, transfiguration, crucifixion and restoration. In this last session, coming just before the season ends and Holy Week begins, we look ahead to our encounter with God in the experience of resurrection,<\/strong> when God brings life out of death.<\/p>\n

We have a long way to go before we get to that joyous event on Easter Sunday, though. As Catholic theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar reminds us, we cannot move too quickly from the crucifixion to the resurrection. We need to hang in that space between. That space between is where hunger ministry finds its identity and meaning.<\/p>\n

At a recent ELCA World Hunger meeting, someone lamented that the images and stories the ministry routinely shares are too \u201chappy.\u201d People are always smiling and easygoing, and the projects supported always work out the way they were intended. No challenge is too difficult to overcome. We know, though, that the reality of ministry in the world is sometimes far from easy. Not all projects work out the way a community hopes. Costs can increase suddenly, disasters can wipe away progress, or, as we witnessed a few years ago, a pandemic can put the brakes on work that had been progressing steadily.<\/p>\n

As we learned in the session on crucifixion in Week 3 of this study, authentic ministry is honest ministry. It doesn\u2019t allow us to hide ourselves from the realities of hunger or injustice or to move too quickly to the hope and joy of the resurrection. Ministry in response to hunger is ministry in response to some of our deepest pain and longing. It is ministry with and among Indigenous communities confronting systemic injustices that have continued for generations (Week 1). It is ministry with and among migrant children as they face abuse at borders (Week 2). It is ministry with and among people struggling to feed themselves and their families (Week 3). It is ministry with and among orphans and families ostracized because of their health status (Week 4). It is ministry that embodies the tension between the crucifixion and the resurrection.<\/p>\n

The readings for this week remind us of this tension. In the Gospel of John, Jesus describes how a grain of wheat must fall into the earth and die before it can bear fruit (12:24). Yet this is no simplistic aphorism about all life involving death. There is a tension between the way Jesus describes death and the way he describes life (in this reading, \u201cthe cross\u201d and \u201cthe glory\u201d). Jesus doesn\u2019t ignore death. As the writer of Hebrews describes, Jesus prayed with \u201cloud cries and tears\u201d (5:7). The Gospel of John softens this at times, but still Jesus says, \u201cMy soul is troubled\u201d (12:27).<\/p>\n

In many church services the presider will invite the congregation to pray \u201cas Jesus taught us\u201d before beginning the rather formal convention of the Lord\u2019s Prayer. Certainly that is the prayer Jesus taught his disciples. But to pray \u201cas Jesus taught us\u201d in the readings for this week is to pray with a troubled soul, with \u201cloud cries and tears\u201d in mourning for our own pain and for the distance our world must travel to the future God has promised.<\/p>\n

To grieve with Ahmed as he encounters abuse at the border (Week 2), to protest with kilombolas seeking full justice (Week 1), to cry out with every hungry person who has ever been told they don\u2019t belong or haven\u2019t worked hard enough, to grit our teeth in anger as political leaders and pundits manipulate statistics to justify budget cuts to anti-hunger or anti-poverty programs \u2014 these are prayers, too, the prayers of troubled souls that shout in \u201cloud cries and tears.\u201d These are Lenten prayers appropriate for this season of repentance, grief and memory. And they are prayers in which Christ joins us.<\/p>\n

The readings also remind us that our encounter with God does not end here. God responds to Jesus\u2019 prayers not by rescuing him from the cross but by conquering it in the resurrection. The resurrection reveals that death and pain will not have the final word, that God is even now moving us toward a time when new life will spring forth. That doesn\u2019t let us ignore the crucifixion. The cries and tears of our prayers are not forgotten, nor are they ended yet.<\/p>\n

To encounter God in resurrection is to live in that tension between grief and hope, between holy anger and peace. As much as we are called to cross-shaped ministry (Week 3), so too are we called to resurrection ministry. In doing ministry in the world, ministering to one another and accepting the ministry of our neighbors, we bear witness to the resurrection hope inspired by the Holy Spirit moving within us.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the pictures are too happy. Perhaps the stories are too clean and simple. Or perhaps the pictures, the stories and the projects they represent are exactly what they are called to be \u2014 testaments to resurrection hope birthed out of the tension between life and death. Perhaps that is what our ministry and our lives are called to be \u2014 investments in the future we know is coming and protests against the present we know falls short.<\/p>\n

To encounter God in experiences of resurrection is to see new life springing forth amid death and longing. It is to live in that holy tension between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, knowing in our very hearts, where God has written a new covenant (Jeremiah 31:33), that it is possible to both grieve and celebrate, to both look around us with honesty and look forward with hope.<\/p>\n

As this season comes to a close, let us pray that God will give each of us the courage, honesty and faith to live more fully in that tension. That\u2019s where authentic ministry happens, and that\u2019s where we are called to be.<\/p>\n

Reflection Questions<\/h2>\n

How do you long for your community? What experiences within your community inspire your prayers of \u201cloud cries and tears\u201d?<\/p>\n

What does it mean to live in the tension between crucifixion and resurrection?<\/p>\n

How might your ministry change if it were viewed as a witness to resurrection?<\/p>\n

What tension in your life do you wish the church would \u201clive into\u201d with you?<\/p>\n

Semana 5 \u2014 Resurrecci\u00f3n<\/h1>\n

\u2022\u2022\u2022<\/h3>\n

Jerem\u00edas 31:31-34; Salmo 51:1-12; Hebreos 5:5-10; Juan 12:20-33<\/h3>\n

\u201cEn los d\u00edas de su vida mortal, Jes\u00fas ofreci\u00f3 oraciones y s\u00faplicas con fuerte clamor y l\u00e1grimas al que pod\u00eda salvarlo de la muerte y fue escuchado por su temor reverente\u201d. \u2014Hebreos 5:7 <\/em><\/p>\n

Hasta ahora en nuestra jornada cuaresmal hemos considerado lo que significa encontrar a Dios en experiencias de reconciliaci\u00f3n, transfiguraci\u00f3n, crucifixi\u00f3n y restauraci\u00f3n. En esta \u00faltima sesi\u00f3n, justo antes de que termine la temporada y comience la Semana Santa, miramos hacia nuestro encuentro con Dios en la experiencia de la resurrecci\u00f3n<\/strong>, cuando Dios saca vida de la muerte.<\/p>\n

Sin embargo, tenemos un largo camino por recorrer antes de llegar a ese feliz evento del Domingo de Pascua. Como nos recuerda el te\u00f3logo cat\u00f3lico Hans Urs von Balthasar, no podemos pasar demasiado r\u00e1pido de la crucifixi\u00f3n a la resurrecci\u00f3n. Tenemos que quedarnos en ese espacio intermedio.<\/p>\n

Ese espacio intermedio es donde el ministerio del hambre encuentra su identidad y significado.<\/p>\n

En una reciente reuni\u00f3n de ELCA World Hunger, alguien se quej\u00f3 de que las im\u00e1genes e historias que el ministerio comparte rutinariamente son demasiado \u201cfelices\u201d. La gente siempre est\u00e1 sonriente y tranquila, y los proyectos respaldados siempre funcionan de la manera en que fueron concebidos. Ning\u00fan reto es demasiado dif\u00edcil de superar. Sin embargo, sabemos que la realidad del ministerio en el mundo a veces est\u00e1 lejos de ser f\u00e1cil. No todos los proyectos funcionan de la manera que una comunidad espera. Los costos pueden aumentar repentinamente, los desastres pueden acabar con el progreso o, como vimos en los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os, una pandemia puede frenar el trabajo que hab\u00eda estado progresando de manera constante.<\/p>\n

Como aprendimos en la sesi\u00f3n sobre la crucifixi\u00f3n en la Semana 3 de este estudio, el ministerio aut\u00e9ntico es un ministerio honesto. No nos permite escondernos de las realidades del hambre o la injusticia, ni movernos demasiado r\u00e1pido hacia la esperanza y el gozo de la resurrecci\u00f3n. El ministerio en respuesta al hambre es el ministerio en respuesta a algunos de nuestros m\u00e1s profundos dolores y anhelos. Es el ministerio con y entre las comunidades ind\u00edgenas que se enfrentan a injusticias sist\u00e9micas que han continuado durante generaciones (Semana 1). Es un ministerio con y entre los ni\u00f1os migrantes mientras son objeto de abuso en las fronteras (Semana 2). Es un ministerio con y entre las personas que luchan por alimentarse a s\u00ed mismas y a sus familias (Semana 3). Es un ministerio con y entre hu\u00e9rfanos y familias condenadas al ostracismo debido a su estado de salud (Semana 4). Es el ministerio el que encarna la tensi\u00f3n entre la crucifixi\u00f3n y la resurrecci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Las lecturas de esta semana nos recuerdan esta tensi\u00f3n. En el Evangelio de Juan, Jes\u00fas explica que un grano de trigo debe caer en la tierra y morir antes de que pueda dar fruto (12:24). Sin embargo, esto no es un aforismo simplista de que toda vida implica la muerte. Hay una tensi\u00f3n entre la forma en que Jes\u00fas describe la muerte y la forma en que describe la vida (en esta lectura, \u201cla cruz\u201d y \u201cla gloria\u201d). Jes\u00fas no ignora la muerte. Como dice el escritor de Hebreos, Jes\u00fas or\u00f3 con \u201cfuerte clamor y l\u00e1grimas\u201d (5:7). El Evangelio de Juan aten\u00faa esto en ocasiones, pero aun as\u00ed Jes\u00fas dice: \u201cMi alma est\u00e1 angustiada\u201d (12:27).<\/p>\n

En muchos servicios de la iglesia, el que preside invita a la congregaci\u00f3n a orar \u201ccomo Jes\u00fas nos ense\u00f1\u00f3\u201d antes de comenzar la convenci\u00f3n bastante formal del Padre Nuestro. Ciertamente, esa es la oraci\u00f3n que Jes\u00fas ense\u00f1\u00f3 a sus disc\u00edpulos. Pero orar \u201ccomo Jes\u00fas nos ense\u00f1\u00f3\u201d en las lecturas de esta semana es orar con un alma atribulada, con \u201cfuerte clamor y l\u00e1grimas\u201d en duelo por nuestro propio dolor y por la distancia que nuestro mundo debe recorrer hacia el futuro que Dios ha prometido.<\/p>\n

Llorar con Ahmed cuando enfrenta abusos en la frontera (Semana 2), protestar con los quilombolas que buscan justicia completa (Semana 1), gritar con cada persona hambrienta a la que alguna vez le han dicho que no pertenece o que no ha trabajado lo suficiente, apretar los dientes con ira mientras los l\u00edderes pol\u00edticos y las autoridades manipulan las estad\u00edsticas para justificar los recortes presupuestarios a los programas contra el hambre o la pobreza \u2014 estas tambi\u00e9n son oraciones, las oraciones de las almas atribuladas que gritan con \u201cfuerte clamor y l\u00e1grimas\u201d. Estas son oraciones de Cuaresma apropiadas para esta temporada de arrepentimiento, dolor y memoria. Y son oraciones en las que Cristo se une a nosotros.<\/p>\n

Las lecturas tambi\u00e9n nos recuerdan que nuestro encuentro con Dios no termina aqu\u00ed. Dios responde a las oraciones de Jes\u00fas, no por rescatarlo de la cruz, sino por vencer la cruz en la resurrecci\u00f3n. La resurrecci\u00f3n revela que la muerte y el dolor no tendr\u00e1n la \u00faltima palabra, que Dios nos est\u00e1 moviendo hacia un tiempo en el que brotar\u00e1 una nueva vida. Esto no nos permite ignorar la crucifixi\u00f3n. El clamor y las l\u00e1grimas de nuestras oraciones no son olvidados ni han terminado todav\u00eda.<\/p>\n

Encontrar a Dios en la resurrecci\u00f3n es vivir en esa tensi\u00f3n entre el dolor y la esperanza, entre la ira santa y la paz. As\u00ed como somos llamados al ministerio en forma de cruz (Semana 3), tambi\u00e9n somos llamados al ministerio de resurrecci\u00f3n. Al ministrar en el mundo, ministr\u00e1ndonos unos a otros y aceptando el ministerio de nuestro pr\u00f3jimo, damos testimonio de la esperanza de la resurrecci\u00f3n inspirada por el Esp\u00edritu Santo que se mueve dentro de nosotros.<\/p>\n

Quiz\u00e1s las fotos son demasiado felices. Quiz\u00e1s las historias son demasiado limpias y simples. O tal vez las im\u00e1genes, las historias y los proyectos que representan son exactamente lo que est\u00e1n llamados a ser: testimonios de la esperanza de la resurrecci\u00f3n nacida de la tensi\u00f3n entre la vida y la muerte. Tal vez eso es lo que nuestro ministerio y nuestras vidas est\u00e1n llamados a ser: inversiones en el futuro que sabemos que viene y protestas contra el presente que sabemos que se queda corto.<\/p>\n

Encontrar a Dios en experiencias de resurrecci\u00f3n es ver brotar una nueva vida en medio de la muerte y el anhelo. Es vivir en esa tensi\u00f3n santa entre el Viernes Santo y el Domingo de Pascua, sabiendo en nuestros propios corazones, donde Dios ha escrito un nuevo pacto (Jerem\u00edas 31:33), que es posible tanto llorar como celebrar, mirar a nuestro alrededor con honestidad y mirar hacia adelante con esperanza.<\/p>\n

Ahora que esta temporada llega a su fin, oremos para que Dios nos d\u00e9 a cada uno de nosotros el valor, la honestidad y la fe para vivir m\u00e1s plenamente en esa tensi\u00f3n. Ah\u00ed es donde ocurre el ministerio aut\u00e9ntico, y ah\u00ed es donde estamos llamados a estar.<\/p>\n
