The Sunday Before the Elevation of the Cross, September 10, 2017
\nGalatians 6:11-18; John 3:13-17
\nVery Rev. Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick<\/i><\/p>\n

In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, one God. Amen.<\/p>\n

I<\/span> was recently in a conversation on the Internet in which someone said that in theological conversation truth is the most important thing, not the other person. I am sure that he meant that we should not compromise the truth just for the sake of getting along. And of course I agree with that. But there\u2019s still something about that statement that really rubs me the wrong way.<\/p>\n

The problem with that is that it puts love and truth as opposites. In other words, if you\u2019re going to preach the truth, you have to be ready to hurt some feelings. And you shouldn\u2019t worry about hurt feelings, because you\u2019ve got the truth on your side.<\/p>\n

Of course, there are people who also believe that love and truth are opposites, except they try to stress love instead. You should go out of your way to compromise in conversations about important things so that you don\u2019t hurt the feelings of the other person. Because giving offense is the worst thing you can do. Being right or wrong is just not as important. Again, truth and love are set up as opposites.<\/p>\n

Why do we do this? Why do we act as though to be truthful, you cannot be loving, or to be loving, you cannot be truthful? I think it\u2019s because we don\u2019t like the tension of disagreeing with another person and yet remaining connected to him or her. So we either try to overpower them with \u201ctruth\u201d or we downplay the issues with \u201clove.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure we\u2019ve all been in relationships or families or communities where this brand of \u201ctruth\u201d or \u201clove\u201d is always the underlying motivator. For example, those who like to get their way in the name of what\u2019s \u201cright\u201d and yet never seek to know or hear other people will almost always consistently act that way. It is their version of \u201ctruth\u201d that motivates them.<\/p>\n

You can see this in certain kinds of theological or political discussions, but really it can be any topic. The goal is not to win the other person and make him part of your community, but rather to destroy any disagreement even if it means shutting out other people. We don\u2019t want them here, because they disagree. <\/p>\n

There is also a version of \u201clove\u201d that downplays theological or philosophical differences and teachings. This so-called \u201clove\u201d is what motivates people to say things like, \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter which church you go to, as long as you believe in Jesus\u201d or even \u201cThe most important thing is to be a good person\u2014the rest is just minor details.\u201d<\/p>\n

But it also motivates people to be okay with abandoning traditional moral teachings in favor of making emotions and desires paramount, with mottoes like \u201cLove is love\u201d and \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter who you love.\u201d And this confusion also erases the difference between how you feel and what you do. If you feel it, then you have to do it, because it\u2019s about \u201clove.\u201d<\/p>\n

Again, all of this is based on creating an opposition between truth and love. Something\u2019s gotta give, so if we emphasize truth, then love is out. And if we emphasize love, then truth gets shown the door. This is our world now.<\/p>\n

But here is what\u2019s in the Gospel today: \u201cFor God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God sent His Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him\u201d (John 3:16-17).<\/p>\n

In this, one of the most beloved and well-known passages of Scripture, the relationship between truth and love is summarized in a single action\u2014God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the love. God so loved the world<\/i>, and He committed Himself to an action. We often read the \u201cso loved\u201d as meaning \u201cHe really<\/i> loved,\u201d but that\u2019s not what the \u201cso\u201d there means. The Greek word there for that \u201cso\u201d is \u039f\u1f55\u03c4\u03c9\u03c2 (outos<\/i>), which means \u201cthus\u201d or \u201cin this manner\u201d or \u201clike this.\u201d That is, God loved the world in this manner: He gave His only-begotten Son. In other words, love here is an act, and the love of God is the act of giving His only Son.<\/p>\n

So then what? \u201cThat whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.\u201d That is, whoever not only accepts this truth but lives it will have eternal life. That is what \u201cbelieves in\u201d means in a Christian sense. It is not only to agree with Jesus. Believing in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, means a dedication of your life to Him.<\/p>\n

So we see here truth and love summarized in a single act\u2014the giving of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. But does this solve the contradiction? Is it really loving of God to expect that we adhere to the truth of Jesus Christ\u2014His person, His life and His teachings? Shouldn\u2019t love let people believe and do what they want? Isn\u2019t that what love is about?<\/p>\n

And is it really a dedication to truth to make expectations of adherence to the truth a matter of love? It doesn\u2019t matter what the other person thinks or feels\u2014this is the truth! Right? Who cares if the other person responds well to the truth? We know we\u2019re right!<\/p>\n

But there is no contradiction between truth and love. Why? I think I\u2019ve demonstrated that we often have the wrong idea about what truth and love are. Truth is not \u201cbeing right\u201d or \u201cbeing correct.\u201d And love is not about feelings or desires, even very deep-seated ones.<\/p>\n

So what is truth? And what is love? We have already suggested it from this passage in John 3, but let\u2019s look at some more verses from the Apostle John, which give us the key. In 1 John 4:8 and 4:16, we read these three words together in both verses: \u201cGod is love.\u201d And in John\u2019s Gospel, in John 14:6, we read Jesus, Who is God, saying this, \u201cI am the way, the truth<\/i>, and the life.\u201d<\/p>\n

So what is love? God is love. What is truth? God is truth. There is no contradiction, no opposition between truth and love because Jesus Christ our God is Himself truth and love. You cannot be dedicated to the truth without Jesus Christ. You cannot be dedicated to love without Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s read again the next verse after John 3:16, John 3:17: \u201cFor God sent His Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.\u201d<\/p>\n

That is both truth and love right there!<\/p>\n

Love is obviously not about condemning anyone, but it\u2019s also not about pretending that we don\u2019t need to be saved, to be healed, to be transformed, to be changed. As I like to say sometimes, God loves you so much that He accepts you as you are, but He also loves you so much that He won\u2019t leave you that way. And here also is truth. Truth is not about condemning, either\u2014it is about how we can be saved. Truth is not about rejection, and it is also not about demanding submission.<\/p>\n

Truth and love are not concepts or feelings. Truth and love are the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Savior of the world. And if we would love, then we must be like Him. And if we would speak the truth, then we must be like Him.<\/p>\n

Love and truth are not opposites. They are not contradictory. We do not have to choose one over the other. Rather, we simply choose Christ. And we believe in Him, committing ourselves to Him whatever the cost and whatever it takes.<\/p>\n

To the God Who is Himself Love and Truth, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, therefore be all glory, honor and power, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
