“And taking the twelve, he said to them, ‘See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished.’”

(Luke 18:31)

             Giertz preached on this text on February 16, 1958 taking it from the Gospel reading for the beginning of Lent that year. He reminded the hearers that day saying “That which happened in Jerusalem, also happened for our sakes” (p. 36). All that happened in Jerusalem was done as a completion and fulfillment of the promises of God. Those promises were spoken to the people of that day through the lips of the prophets and for us today as those words were written down for us.

“And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness.” (Acts 4:29)

       Giertz says, in the first paragraph of his ordination sermon from May 25, 1955, that “We need to constantly pray this prayer anew in the Christian Church and with particular zeal when we ordain new servants to walk in the holy pastoral office” (p. 18). Boldness certainly was a clear mark of the early Christian church.  The Apostles were given a great boldness to proclaim the Gospel.

          The first sermon that is recorded in the book, Then Fell the Lord’s Fire, is from the text in 1 Kings 18:38 and bears the same title as the book. It is the text which records Elijah’s confrontation with the false prophets on Mt. Carmel. Verse 38 says, “Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench” (ESV).

          After a couple of weeks in Texas we are back. We usually try to visit Texas when the weather is cold up here but this year ended up going during the heat of August. We were able to visit family, do some fishing and swimming at the beach, and just to play with the kids in the yard (water was also involved there). One of the neat opportunities we had when we were down there was to meet the new pastor at my in-laws church. Pastor Lee Kuhns was ordained and installed on Sunday the 24th while we were there.
