Worship Schedule
“All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given. The Son, and Him who reigns with them in highest heaven. The one eternal God, whom earth and heaven adore! For thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore. (CW 610 st. 3)
Yet Another Reason to Give Thanks I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire
to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to
do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing… What a wretched man I am!
Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ
our Lord! Romans 7:18-19, 24-25
Thanksgiving Day is approaching quickly. Some of you
probably will spend time cataloging the things you are thankful for.
I doubt you’ll have any difficulty compiling your list. In fact, if you
are able to gather with family and friends around a table loaded
with food, you’ll have all kinds of things to be thankful for.
In our Bible passage today, the apostle Paul gives us yet
another reason to give thanks—a reason that perhaps we don’t often
think about.
Paul candidly talks about a struggle that he—and every Christian—must deal with every day of
his life. It’s the struggle between the old self that he is by nature and the new self that he is through
faith in Jesus. The old self only wants to sin. It only wants to separate itself from God. What God
loves, it hates. What God hates, it loves. The new self, on the other hand, only wants to please God and
draw closer to Him. What God loves, it loves. What God hates, it hates. These two selves lived inside of
Paul—and they live inside of us. Every day they fight against each other in constant battle.
This constant battle frustrated Paul and it frustrates us. Paul hated to see himself doing the
things that he knew he shouldn't do. He also hated to see himself not do the things that he knew he
should do. Finally, Paul throws up his hands and cries out, “What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue
me from this body of death?” The answer is: “Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!”
The solution to the constant battle between Paul’s old self and new self was Jesus. In Jesus,
Paul was washed clean of his sins and made into a new person. In Jesus, he was holy in God’s sight and
given the strength to live as the new self that he was through faith in Jesus. In Jesus, Paul had reason
to give thanks. He knew that in Jesus, he had the ultimate victory in this war between his old and new
selves.
We have the same reason to give thanks. Yes, we daily are frustrated when we see ourselves
doing what we know we shouldn't do. We are equally frustrated when we see ourselves not doing the
things that we know we should do. Yet, when we feel as if all is lost and are tempted to give up, Paul
reminds us that in Jesus, we have been washed clean and made into a new person. In Jesus, we are holy
in God’s sight and given the strength to live as the new selves that we are through faith in Jesus.
In Jesus, we have the ultimate victory in this war between our old and new selves. That truly is yet
another reason to give thanks!
Prayer: Heavenly Father, today I give You thanks for all the blessings You so richly pour out on me, including the victory You have given me over my old self. Help me always to live as the new self You have made me. Amen.
