Good Friday sermon at the Falam Baptist Church, Maryland

Extravagance

March 26, 2013 John 12:3–5 "Mary took a pound of costly perfume made of pure nard, anointed Jesus' feet, and wiped them away with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was about to betray him), said, 'Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?'" Anthony B. Robinson Even though John makes it pretty clear that Judas is not the good guy in this story, Judas does have a point. Sometimes extravagance is foolish, wasteful, and just wrong. Think of huge cars that get fourteen miles to a gallon. Or of sprawling McMansions for some when others have no home at all. Or the fancy restaurants where the bill for a foursome can exceed a thousand dollars. But there are times when extravagance is something other than foolish or wrong. There are times when extravagance is beautiful and beyond right. It's absolutely true. And this was apparently one, for Jesus defended Mary, saying, "Leave her alone . . . You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me." What's the difference between extravagance that is foolish and just wrong, and extravagance that is beautiful and true? Mary's act was an act of worship. It wasn't about her. She had forgotten herself in love and devotion. On the other hand, and even though he professed concern for the poor, for Judas it was really all about himself. Acts of extravagance in which we lose or forget ourselves (which may include a beautiful home or meal for family and guests) are seldom wrong. But even acts of charity, when they are really only about us and how we will appear to others, are seldom right. Prayer God, grant us grace so to lose ourselves that we may be truly found. Amen.

Na Nunnak Jesuh in a lo To Maw?

Luke 19:28 – 44

Thuhmaihruai:

            March 25, 2012 ah Shaima Alawadi, kum 32, Iraqi nupinu pakhat cu California ah an that. An thah hlan ah ca an pekmi cu, “Nan ram ah kir aw. Hi tawk hi na umnak a si lo. Na kir lo ahcun, kan lo that ding” tiah an ti. In cepomi si hmang tiah a rak ruat. Asinan, nikhat cu amah lawng an inn sung ih a um lai ah, thir in a luu an vuak ih an that ngaingai.

Cumi thu cu Washing DC kiangkap ih ummi Pastor pawl an riah a sia ih, Christian pawl kan nun daan a dik lo ti in, an thinhennak an langh ter. Cuih pastor pawl ih an timi cu, “You cannot love God and hate your neighbor” a sullam cu, “Pathian ka duhdawt tita hrat in, na unau na hua thei lo” tiah an ti. Ka di a riam zet.

Ka sim duhmi cu Christian pawl in Pathian kan zum kan ti nan, kan nun daan ah a dik lo a si ahcun, kan zummi Pathian kan zum daan a dik lo ruangah a si. Tumkau ni ah thil cangmi pawl zoh in kan biakmi Jesuh Khrih cu zo a si timi lo ruah ka duh. A pakhatnak ah laak neitu le laak note thu, cun, mipi pawl ih lungput, Jesuh a tahnak thuhla le Jesuh ih Jerusalem Biakinn a thianhlimnak thu ti in lo ruah ka duh. Cumi pawl ka sim duhnak cu kan zummi Jesuh hi zovek a si timi lo sim ruah ka duh ruangah a si.  

1. Laak neitu le laak note thu: Na nunnak hi Jesuh in a lo to maw?

Jericho ah Jesuh le a dungthluntu pawl an thu an sim theh hnu ah Jerusalem ah Lanta puai hmang dingah an feh. Bethphage le Bethani khua kiang an thlen tikah a hmai ah a dungthluntu pahnih kha a thlah ih Laak note va la ding in a fial. Ziangah tiah an lo suh le, “Bawipa in a hai tiah va sim uh” a ti. An ti vek in thil a cang ngaingai.

Dungthluntu pahnih in an Laak neitu ih laak an va laksak tikah, ziangah nan lak tiah a rak sut. Thu a rak sut. Asinan, dungthuntu pahnih in, “Bawipa in a hai” tiah an ti tikah, ziangthu hman a sut nawn lo. Bawipa in a hai ahcun tiah siang zet in a pek.

Ziangah Jesuh in Laak tengteng to ding a duh si pei? Ziangahtile Zechariah 9:9-10 sungah “Siangpahrang cu Laak note to in a ra ding” timi kha a um. Curuangah, Jesuh in lei tlun rundamtu Messiah a sinak kha Zechariah ih simmi theitu Judah mipi in an theih ih an zum theinak dingah lak note to in Jerusalem a luhnak a si.

Laak note cu Jesuh in a to tikah Jesuh ih sunlawinak pawl kha laak note in a co ngah ve. Laak note in Bawi Jesuh a phur ih a fehpi. Cutikah, Jesuh kha minung tampi in an hmu ngah. Mipi in Jesuh fehnak hrang an rak phah sakmi pawl hmuahhmuah cu laak note in a pal ngah theh a si kha. Laak neitu pa in a laak a rak pek ruangah tuisun tiang a thuanthu sim dai lo ah a rak cang.

Zir ding: Zumtu zo khal Pathian in Amai aiawhtu, a palai si dingah a tu na nunnak hi a lo tul, a lo hai ti thei aw. Amai aiawhtu ti tikah, kan nunnak hi midang in an zoh tikah, Jesuh Khrih ih nun zia le lungput an hmuh theinak dingah Bawipa in hman a lo duh. Jesuh in tuih sun ah Jerusalem feh ding a tum nawn lo. Nangmah to in feh a duhnak hmun cu na inn sungsaang, na rualpi, na tlawngkainak le hnatuannak tintian ah feh a duh. Lak note bang in ka nunnak I hmang aw tiah kan ti ahcun, Jesuh in kan phu lo zet in sunlawinak phunphun in co ter ding a si. Na nunnak mi in an lo zoh tikah Jesuh a cuang maw? Jesuh ih nun zia le lungput an hmu maw?

Minung tampi in kei cu pastor ka si lo ih, Bawi Jesuh ih thu le ka sim thiam lo tiah an ti. Cun, kei cu ramthar ah le ka feh thei lo ih, sumpai lawng in ka lo ttanpi ding tiah an ti. Cuvek ruahnak hi a dik lo. Ziangah tile, cuvek ih na ruah ahcun, na san sung mission tuan dah lomi ah na ruat aw tata ding. Cu pawl ih an theih lomi cu an mah hi Pathian ih palai, a missionary an si ti an hngilh aw theu. An kiangkap, an innsang, an kawhhran hi ram thar (mission field) a si zia an ruat lo. Cun, mission hnatuan timi khi Bawi Jesuh tuahmi le nun daan pehzom ih tuah le tuan khi a si. Midang in Jesuh an hmuh theinak dingah Bawipa I hmang aw tiah thlacam uh si. Midang in Jesuh ih nun daan le lungput pawl kha na nunnak in tep hngai seh. Cuti in, Jesuh a sunglawi ding ih, a sunlawinak na tep ngah ve ding. Cucu Pathian in leilung parih in nun ter duhsannak a si. Paul khal in kei ka hrangah nun timi cu Khrih a si tiah a timi cu (Filipi 1:21). A sim duhmi cu Khrih ih duhdawtnak, zaangfahnak, zawnruahnak, le sual ngaithiamnak pawl lang ter dingah a si.

2. Mipi pawl ih lungput: Jesuh ih lungput le sinak hi ziangvek teu a si?  

Jesuh khal Jerusalem khuapi lut ding in a feh tikah, mipi in an rak hmuak ih, an sunloih nasa. Himi mipi pawl in ziangruangah an rak hmuak si pei? An ruahsannak a famkim thlang ding tiah an ruah ruangah a si. Israel mipi pawl ih an ruahsanmi cu Rome, Pathian thei lomi Gentile pawl kut sung in in run suaktu ding tiah an ruat. Culai ah Rome pawl ih kut tangah an rak um. Rome pawl kuttang in luat an rak duh tuk. Jesuh in Rome pawl kha in do pi ding ih, kan neh ding ti an ruahsan ih Jesuh kha an rak hmuak nasa. Hriamhrei thawn, Rome ralkap pawl in do pi ding tiah an ruat.

Israel pawl khal in daihnak cu an duh zet ko. Asinan, ral hriamhrei thawn kan do ding ih daihnak kha kan ngah ding tiah an ruat. Asinan, Jesuh cun daihnak hi kan tumtah dingmi lawng si lo in, kan fehnak lamzin khal daihnak thawn a khatmi a si a tul tihi a zirhmi le a fehpimi a si. Jesuh kha kaih a tuar ih, thawi a tuar ngaingai cun, zarh khat sungah an thinlung an thleng ih, “Barabbas kha suah aw, Jesuh kha that aw” tiah an au ciamco sal.

Mipi in an hnen ih a ratu ih lungput le tumtahmi an thei lo. Thei hngai sehla cutin an um lo ding nan. Zechariah 9:9-10 sungah lak note to ih a ratu siangpahrang cu hivek a si ding tiah a sim.

A pakhatnak ah, cuih siangpahrang cu “lungnemmi a si” tiah a ngan. Asinan, Judah mipi cun hriamhrei hmang ih mi dotu ah an ruat.

“Zo uh nan siangpahrang a ra lai! Nehtu a si ih nehnak thawn a ra;

Asinanin lungnemmi a si ih Laak parin a ra;  . . .”

A pahnihnak ah, cuih siangpahrang cu hriamhrei pawl a hmang lo tu a si ding tiah a ngan.

“Bawipa in, “Israel ram ihsin raldonak rangleng ka hlon ding;

Jerusalem ihsin raldonak rang pawl ka lak sak ding ih

Raldonak likhuk pawl cu ka siatsuah theh ding; . . .”

            A pathumnak ah, cuih siangpahrang cu miphun kip thawn remnak tuahtu a si ding ti a ngan thotho ti kan hmu.

“Nan siangpahrang in mi phunkip pawl thawn diahnak le remnak a tuah ding.”

            Tuih sun kan nunnak ah kan zoh aw sal pei uh. Kan nunnak ih in totu hi hriamhrei hmang ih, mi puarthau, mi hngal teh a si pang maw? Kan hmurka, kan tong daan, kan lungput, le kan nun zia ah in totu hi Bawi Jesuh a si ahcun, “Nun neemnak thawn, hriamhrei hmang lo in remnak tuah duhnak lungput” kan nei ding a si. Bawi Jesuh in a lo to maw?

3. Jesuh a tap: Jesuh tahtertu na si ve pang maw?

Cuti ih an rak hmuah laifang ah Bawi Jesuh khrih cu a Jerusalem mi pawl a zoh tikah a tap. Jesuh a tap tihi Bible sungah vei hnih a ngan ih, a pakhatnak cu Lazarus a thih lai ah. Culai ahcun, daitein a tap ih a mitthli a tla men. Asinan, a vei hnihnak cu Jerusalem khua le mi pawl a zoh tikah, a nguk in a nguk. Pacang tha mipi ih rak hmuah lai ih nguk cu mak an ti nasa. Ziangruangah a tap a si pei?

Ziangah a tap? A tahnak thuhla pawl tla cu:  

a.     Amah hi rundamtu Messiah, nunnak, lamzin le thutak (John 14:7) a sinak an thei thei lo. Kum thum sung a sim, a zirh rero nan an thei thei lo. An zum duh lo.

Jesuh Khrih hi na sualnak a lo ngaithiamtu, a feh daan lamzin hi na thlun dingmi lamzin le na pom dingmi thutak ih na pomhnget lo cun Jesuh a riah a sia a si. Minung tampi in Jesuh thawn bangawknak ding tum lo in, mirang pawl, midum pawl ih thil ti daan thawn bang aw ding hi an tum tahmi a si. Bible in zumtu pawl ih kan bang dingmi cu Jesuh a si tiah in sim (Rom 8:29). Kan zawh ding lamzin cu Jesuh ih lamzin (John 14:6).

b.     Jesuh a riah a siat tertu thil dang pakhat cu an biaknak a si. An biaknak cu mi farah pawl tundinnak si lo in thleidan awknak, nautatawknak, mifarah le nauta pawl zomtaihnak ah an hmang ti a hmu. An hruaitu pawl in le Jesuh cu zum le thlun lamlam Pathian ih palai a simi hman thah ding an tum.

Kannih teh kan biaknak, kan Kawhhran hi bom a tulmi pawl bomnak hmun a si maw? Thlei danawknak um lo ding ih zirhawknak le hruaiawknak hmun a si maw? Cuvek kan si lo ahcun, Jesuh a riahsiat tertu biaknak kan si. Kan hruaitu pawl teh pakhat le khat sual hawl aw ciamcotu kan si pang maw? Cuvek kan si ahcun, Jesuh ih mithli tlak tertu kan si.

c.      A pathumnak Jesuh ih mithli a tlaknak cu, Israel pawl in an ram daihnak duh ah hriamhrei thawn an do nan, daihnak an ngah lo ding ih, buainak le siatsuah theh an si ding ti a hmu cia. Cu ngaingai in Israel pawl in hriamhrei thawn Rome a cozah pi an do tikah, AD 70 ah Roman acozah pi in tapung tho ringringtu pawl kha an cil ciamco ih Judahmi tingruk 600,000 a that. Cun, mi tampi kha thawng ah a thlak ih an biakinn le khua pawl a siat sak theh.[1]

Jesuh ih mithli a tlaknak pawl cu amah kha in rundamtu, ka sual I ngaithiamtu ti ih kan zum lo duh lo tikah sual thilrit phur in kan um ringring ih in duhdawttu a riah kan siat ter a si. Cuih tlunah, kan Kawhhran hi midang bawm ding lam si lo in, midang a nautattu, mi a thleidangtu, le mi soiseltu, midang sual hawltu kan si ahcun Jesuh riahsiat tertu kan si.

            Kan biakmi Pathian cu nun neemmi, zaangfah duhdawtnak thawn a khat ih, kan zawn in ruat zettu a si. Tang khal a dor zettu a si (Phil 2:6-7). Curuangah, kaihhruaiawk daan khal ah in tin nan biaknak le Kawhhran cu kai hruai aw uh tiah in forh:

Luke 22:25-26

“Leitlun siangpahrang pawl in misenpi pawl kha lal zet in huham thawn an uk ih cuih uktu bawi pawl cun ‘Miseenpi ih Rualpi,’ tiah an ti aw. Sikhalsehla nannih cu cubangtuk nan si lo ding; nanmah lakih upa bik cu nauta bik bangtuk in a um dingih hotu bik cu hnen-um bangin a um ding.”

4. Jesuh in Biakinn a thianhlim ter: Pathian sunlawinak hrangah cun a ral a tha.

            Jesuh hi a tangdor zet. Zawn a lung zet. Asinan, zoih zawn a lung tile, Pathian in duhmi thawn a kaih awmi zawn lawng a lung ti kan hmu. Pathian ih duhmi a kaih lo ahcun, ral tha zet in Pathian duhmi kha a tuah ngam a si.

            Tuih tum ih biakinn a thianhlim termi hi vei hnihnak a thianhlim ternak a si. A vei khatnak cu John in a ngan khum ih, a paih hnatuan a thok pekte a si (John 2:13-22). Culai khal ah Jesuh cu an rak hua tuk. Tuih tum a thianhlim sal lala tikah, an hruaitu pawl cu ziangtin kan that ding timi lawnglawng an bawh. Jesuh in himi vei hnihnak ka tuah cun, ka ol lo ding ti khal a thei asinan, Pathian ih duhmi nun daan thawn a mil aw lo tiah a hmuhmi cu ral that zet in a thianfai mei ti kan hmu.

            Christian tampi in Jesuh cu tangdormi, thinnemmi a si ti lawng kan thei. Mi in ziangti ih in ti khal le tuar cuahco men ding. Kan kiangkap ah ziangvek thil tha lo a um khal le ngaithiam cuahco men ding hi Pathian ih duhmi nun neemnak ah kan ruat. Asinan, cumi cu Jesuh ih nun daan le a dik lomi a si. Jesuh cun, Pathian ih duhmi nun daan a si lo timi a hmuh cun, ral tha zet in Pathian thu sawn a thlun ih, Pathian ih duh lomi pawl kha a do ti kan hmu.

           

Thunetnak:

Tumkau ni ih thil cangmi sung in a tanglam thu pawl hi kan zir theimi pawl an si.  

1.     Laak neitu le laak note hnen in kan zir dingmi cu: Laknote bang in, kan nunnak hi midang in Jesuh an hmuh theinak dingah tiin kan nunnak kan hlan aw maw? Phil 1:21 sung vek in, “Kei ka hrangah nun timi cu Khrih a si” tiah kan ti ve maw. Na nunnak mi in an lo zoh tikah “Khrih Jesuh ih nunzia a cuang maw?”

2.     Mipi ih lungput in kan zir dingmi cu: Mipi ih an thangthatmi Jesuh cu “ral hriamhrei thawn, huham cahnak ring in do pi tu ding” (fighter) a si. Thu el duhtu, hngal zet ih keimah ti aw emem, ka lu tlun ah ka sam lawng a um thei tivek lungput neitu Jesuh hi an rak thangthat. Asinan, Jesuh cu thinsau, nun neemmi, hriamhrei hmang lo in remdaihnak a tuah sawntu a si. A lo totu hi Jesuh a si ahcun, na nun a neem dingih, midang thawn rualremnak a tuahtu na si ve tengteng a tul.

3.     Jesuh a tahnak thu in kan zir dingmi cu: Kan Kawhhran hi Jesuh a riahsiat tertu kan si ve pang maw? Kan Kawhhran hi midang bawmnak, midang ih nun tundinnak ah kan hmang maw? Cuvek ah hmang lo in, thleidanawknak, midang ih sual hawl duh teuteu tla kan si ahcun, Jesuh a riahsiat tertu men kan si.

4.     Biakinn a thianfainak thu in kan zir dingmi cu: Jesuh cu a thin a nem zet asinan, Pathian ih duhmi thawn a mil aw lomi cu ral tha zet in a el ngam, a do ngam a si ti kan hmu.

by San No Thuan

Phil. 2:1

Khrih thawn nan pehzomawknak ruangah nan nunnak a hnget cuang ih

a duhdawtnak in nan hna a lo ngam ter. Thlarau thawn pawlkomnak nan nei ih

pakhat le pakhat parah zaangfah lainatnak nannie a si lo maw?

Thuhmaihruai

Thingkung khi a hram thuk ih a pilmi pawl cu thli a hran tikah ol te in a tlu thei lo. Asinan US lam ih an thingkung phun daan cu a puan tuk ih thli a hran tikah a tawhram in a tlu lohli theu. Cuvek thiamthiam in, kan nunnak khal olte ih tlu lo ding in ziangti in hnget khoh zet in kan ding ding timi hi Philipi 2:1 ih in sim daan thawn lo ruah ka duh.

1.     Khrih thawn nan pehzomnak in na nunnak a hnget cuang ding. Ziangtin Khrih thawn kan pehzom aw thei ding?

a.     Rom 6:3 sungah, “Nan nih cu Khrih sungih hnimmi nan si” tiah in ti. A sullam cu Khrih thisen in kholh zomi kan si, Khrih ih lei zomi kan si. Khrih thawn pehzom ter zomi kan si tinak a si. Jesuh Khrih a thihnak ihsin a thlengmi Pathian ih sual ngaithiamnak cu ka hrangah a si ve ti na zum ahcun, Khrih thawn a pehzom awtu na si ve.  

b.     Khrih ih thisen ih lei zomi ka si ruangah, Khrih ih duhnak famkim ter ding cu ka nun san ti thei in feh aw. Na nunnak a hnget khoh ding.

c.     Asinan, Khrih thawng in Pathian ih ngaithiammi ka si timi theih cu Thlarau lam ih suak pek naute vek kan si. Kan tuah tulmi a um lai.

2.     A nunnak pesiang tiangih i duhdawtnak in I taan siang dah lo ding timi zum aw. Na hna a ngam ding.  

a.     Isai 49:15 … Nu in hnawifawp lai a fa a hngilh thei ding maw si? Hngilh thei hman sehla kei cun ka lo hngilh dah lo ding.

b.     Daan 31:6 . . .. Cak le raltha in um uh. Nan Pathian Bawipa amah rori nan hnen ah a feh ding. A lo tlaansan lo ding ih a lo hnong lo ding.
