TRUE PROPHETS
In Deuteronomy today we hear
that God's very words will fill the
mouth of a true prophet, but a
false prophet will, in a manner of
speaking, put mere mortal words
into God's mouth. In Mark's
Gospel, we see Jesus teaching and
healing as a true prophet, one
filled with the authority of God's
own voice. The whole history of
our church is filled with both true
and false prophets. Some false
prophets were extremely popular
and quite well-versed in scripture,
and even held positions of
authority. But in today's Gospel
we learn that Jesus' fame spread
because he taught with authority;
he wasn't an authority because he
was popular or famous.
Elsewhere, we also learn from
him, in his desert temptation
confrontations with Satan, that
anyone can quote scripture, even
against God's purposes. Today we
hear that his authority was not
like that of the scribes, who held
the official positions of religious
authority in his day. Our work is
to do our best to discern the true
prophets in our midst, and to be
true prophets as well. The
psalmist tells us how to do this:
by not hardening our hearts when
God speaks. If we truly listen to
God, it will be God's very words
filling our mouths.

I learned so much from Mrs. Burns and not just the classic teacher tool of referring to Mr. John Wandishin
