10th Sunday after Pentecost
2 Samuel 11.1-5: Psalm 14: Ephesians 3.14-21: John 6.1-21.
Commentary on John 6:1-21
Alicia D. Myers
... The opening of John 6 includes Jesus’ miraculous provision of food and his crossing the Sea of Galilee that divinely transports his disciples to the other side. These events form the foundation for Jesus’ Bread of Life discourse in the later part of the chapter (6:25–58). In John 6:1–21, Jesus both feeds the crowd and tests his disciples as he reveals himself, and God, to them. Rather than accepting the crowd’s shortsighted confession, or forsaking his overconfident disciples, Jesus challenges those who follow to know him as the “I am” and, in so doing, to let go of their desire to control him. ...
SERMON COMMENTARY FOR SUNDAY, JULY 28, 2024
Ephesians 3:14-21 Commentary
STAN MAST
" This is an extraordinary prayer for Ordinary Time. Paul has just described the church’s calling in cosmic terms. The unity of Gentile and Jew in the church is intended by God to make known the manifold wisdom of God “to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (3:10) That high calling is why Paul begins our text with “for this reason I kneel….” The only way the church can attain the heights to which God has called us is to kneel in prayer...'"
"...The actual content of Paul’s prayer is structured around three hina clauses in verses 16, 18, and 19: “that he may strengthen you with power;” “that you may have power… to grasp;” “that you may be filled.” These hina clauses are like rungs on a ladder; each request takes Paul a step higher in what he dares to ask for. First he asks for power, but not power to accomplish some herculean earthly task, like being a good father or running a large corporation or bringing world peace. His prayer is theological in the extreme, because we can never accomplish those earthly tasks unless Paul’s first, deeply spiritual, request is granted.ncluding those found in scripture. According to him, this story is an example of the “rash promise” motif, which he classifies as M223..."
