Text Philippians 4:4-9 Title What if I become such a pastor you such adorned members? 4Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. 6Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you. I. Rejoice! In verses 1-3 Paul gave specific exhortations to individuals there at Philippi. Now in verse 4, we find the first of several exhortations which are certainly needful for the whole congregation and all Christians. In v 4 Paul writes, "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" You may recall that "joy" is the keynote of this epistle. No less than sixteen times in this epistle, Paul uses the word or a derivation of it! [1:4,18(twice), 25; 2:2,17(twice),18(twice), 28, 29; 3:1; 4:1, 4 (twice), 10]. The storm of persecution was immanent to the Philippian Church. Three vicious groups were growing up and interfering its unity. Paul the leader was imprisoned and about to be executed. All circumstances were sufficient enough to discourage Philippians' faith. They had no reason to rejoice. How can you rejoice even though you cannot find any reason to rejoice. First, we need pay attention to the word, "always." This constant rejoice can never be obtained from a certain circumstances since any conditional rejoice disappear if situations change. Second, we need pay attention to the phrase, "in the Lord." What means "rejoice in the Lord"? Acts 5:40-41 testifies, "40and when they had called in the apostles, they had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 41As they left the council, they rejoiced that they were considered worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name." If you are dishonored and flogged, you feel shameful and grievous. But the apostles enjoyed the ever-abiding rejoice. Those who are ashamed and dishonored can always rejoice in the Lord not because the harsh realities of life change but because they are convinced of being in the Lord. Those who suffer because of Jesus can always rejoice in the Lord. II. Let your gentleness be known to everyone! In v 5 Paul orders, "Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near." Why does Paul say, "The Lord is near," mentioning "gentleness"? He means, "Let's not sit on the chair of the judge for justice' sake. We must be gentle to others' faults and entrust the Lord with judgment. Paul says, "Let your gentleness be known to everyone." Our problem lies in that we are generous to ourselves or our group but harsh to others or other groups. Generosity can never be achieved without fairness. Those who fear the judge can alone be fair and generous to everyone. But fairness is never simple. Sometimes Hansaem complains, "Why do you ask me this rather than Hanl?" Then, I ask him, "Do you want to get the same amount of food and money as Hanl does?" He says, "No." I like favor but hate responsibility--this is the shared human psychology. But I try to make my first son understand that favor and responsibility go together. Many of Hanl's clothes are those Hansaem wore before. Hansaem need more food and money than Hanl. But when both of them do faults, I rebuke Hansaem first. When they fight, I require Hansaem of much more accountability. I think this is fairness. When understanding this, Hansaem will have grown up as a mature son. A pastor is often doubted of his/her fairness. Sometimes he/she may be really unfair. But many times a pastor is evaluated by a simple measurement. Mature Christians considers various factors to evaluate and so complains little. A mature Christian rarely indicates others' faults as trying to be generous to others as much as to him/herself. A mature Christian is gentle even to the enemy of his/her friend. So his/her friend complains. But Paul commands, "Be gentle to everyone, not to your friends alone nor to your beloved alone." Generosity comes from prudent fairness which is the virtue of a mature Christian. III. Be known to God with gratitude! Although your are fair and generous, you may be blamed. And then you will get angry, anxious, and worry. As you think the problem should be resolved in this or that way, you cannot escape from anger, anxiety, and worry. So in vv 6-7 Paul writes, "6Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." "Surpasses all understanding" means God will resolve neither in this way nor in that way but in his own way. If you believe this, you can have unshakable tranquility and mind. "In everything by prayer and supplication" is in contrast to "Do not worry about anything." If you pay 0% to worry, you can pay 100% to prayer. But as you have experienced, this is almost impossible. How can we forget worry completely and pray absolutely? The answer is "with thanksgiving." How can we be thankful in amidst of fury and hurt? We are fast to rage and slow to appreciate. This is our dilemma. But you must remember any problem, no matter how appearing great, is smaller than the grace of God. You must know ungratefulness is the consequence of the wrong feeling and the wrong mind. When you really feel and understand His grace is greater than the problem, the peace of God pushes all anger, anxiety, worry out of your soul and establishes your emotion and thinking steadfastly in Jesus Christ the unshakable foundation. IV. Meditate! Then, prayer is everything? Christians also have to meditate. In v 8 Paul exhorts, "Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." Here "think about" means "meditate", "reflect profoundly." I feel sometimes Korean Christians are too thoughtless and rude. They try to achieve exterior achievements rather than to pursue interior virtues. Interior virtues are closely related to good thinking. When looking back on oneself and reflecting profoundly, one continues to be transformed in personality. For this reason Psalms 1 testifies, "blessed are...on the law they meditate day and night" (Ps 1:1-2). Christian saying must be true. Christian behavior must be honorable. Christians must pursue justice. Christian motivation must be pure. Christians must be lovely. Christian citizens must be commendable. Christians must have excellence in virtues. Christians must be worthy of praise. In order to be so, you must reflect upon yourselves in light of the word of God and make continuous transformation. A good Christian not only prays well but think well. Good meditation shapes good personality. V. Practice! But even if you pray well and think well, unless practicing, your faith is dead. You certainly have faith but God does not work. So Paul orders, "9Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you." Paul here commands Philippians to practice what they were taught by words and deeds. I know that eyes are the better teacher than ears. So as possible as I can I try to be an example of faith for my congregation. But this never works since any excellent examples may be useless unless you have no faith to grasp such things. True examples can never be easily seen or known. For this reason pastor's teaching must include not only the principle but practical part of faith. So someone asks me, "Who is a good pastor?" I'd like to answer, "He/she is one who helps his/her members practice their own faith well." Once I heard from a Korean elementary school teacher, "One day I said to my students to draw a human being. One boy just drew a face but was at a loss pondering how to draw eyes, nose, and lips. So I couldn't restrict my patience and drew those things on his behalf. At that moment my principal came by and saw it. She called me, and I came to her. She rebuked me, 'Mrs. Kim, our education is not to make our children good imitators but unique creators.'" What is your definition of being an example? Is it to provide children with stimulus to drawing or drawing on their behalf? I respect American teachers who would not draw on children's behalf but wait for their slow move and adorn their creative ugliness. What if I become such a pastor and you such adorned members? |
