Holiday Leadership

About this sermon

Perhaps there is no better indication of the health of a family than how it behaves on holidays. You see, the rhythm has shifted. Things slow down. You are forced to be in the same room together, at the same table. For some of you, it’s not just your immediate family, but it’s the extended family as well. Cousin Eddie drives down in his RV. He brings his dogs. And how many of you know that a family is only as healthy as its least healthy member? One person has the capacity to sabotage the entire celebration. Oh, it’s hard enough when everyone is trying to behave… but let one person have too much to drink. Wait till somebody brings up something from the past that they should never have mentioned. The next thing you know, a Cold War develops, and if you aren’t careful, what was supposed to be a time of Joy, unspeakable and full of glory devolves into World War III (WW3). NOW - some of you know what I’m talking about. You enter into the holiday season in fear and trepidation… praying to the Lord that everyone survives and will still speak to one another when the New Year arrives. Well, Jesus could relate…. Right in the midst of the most important meal in all of human history - the LAST SUPPER. Painting of this moment When everyone ought to have been on their best behavior, when what takes place would literally be recorded in the eternal annuls of holy scripture - look at verse 24.
