Message Notes: Pull out a coin, not for luck but for remembering: DG
REGINA “By the Grace of God Queen” God is our Emperor/King/Ruler,
if we choose wisely. A better king/queen you will not find on earth.
Whatever glory this world exalts, pales to the glory Moses saw.
Religious leaders did not see glory, but threat, in Jesus. His parables
stung, pointing out hypocrisy. The Pharisees, though, are unsuccessful at
trapping Jesus, his glory evident in his wisdom. “Look at the coin and
whose face is on it” Jesus says. “Give to the Emperor what is his and to
God what is God’s.” As people with dual citizenship – earth and heaven –
we look to Jesus, the crucified, risen one, to see God’s glory. In his
vulnerability and victory, our life is transformed. How does your life and
mine, and our community life reflect God’s glory? Are glory days a thing
of the past, present and future?
Joyce Rupp wrote in Fresh Bread, “Autumn is the season of vulnerability,
when trees open wide to wounding, when all the summer security is given
way to another season. Wiser are the trees than humans who clutch small
arms round self, shielding fragile hearts and stifling future springtimes.”
Bible Readings for today:
him a denarius. 20Then he said to them, “Whose head is this, and
whose title?” 21They answered, “The emperor’s.” Then he said to
them, “Give therefore to the emperor the things that are the
emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”22When they heard
this, they were amazed; and they left him and went away.

Exodus 33:12-23
12Moses said to the LORD, “See, you have said to
me, ‘Bring up this people’; but you have not let me
know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, ‘I know you
by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.’ 13Now if I have
found favor in your sight, show me your ways, so that I may know
you and find favor in your sight. Consider too that this nation is your
people.” 14He said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you
rest.” 15And he said to him, “If your presence will not go, do not
carry us up from here. 16For how shall it be known that I have found
favor in your sight, I and your people, unless you go with us? In this
way, we shall be distinct, I and your people, from every people on the
face of the earth.” 17The LORD said to Moses, “I will do the very
thing that you have asked; for you have found favor in my sight, and
I know you by name.” 18Moses said, “Show me your glory, I
pray.” 19And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you,
and will proclaim before you the name, ‘The LORD’; and I will be
gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I
will show mercy. 20But,” he said, “you cannot see my face; for no one
shall see me and live.” 21And the LORD continued, “See, there is a
place by me where you shall stand on the rock; 22and while my glory
passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you
with my hand until I have passed by; 23then I will take away my hand,
and you shall see my back; but my face shall not be seen.”

Matthew 22:15-22
15Then the Pharisees went and plotted to entrap him in what he
said.16So they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians,
saying, “Teacher, we know that you are sincere, and teach the way of
God in accordance with truth, and show deference to no one; for you
do not regard people with partiality. 17Tell us, then, what you think. Is
it lawful to pay tax es to the emperor, or not?” 18But Jesus, aware of
their malice, said, “Why are you putting me to the test, you
hypocrites? 19Show me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought
