Hows is your Celebration Spirit
This is the season of celebrations as kids graduate from school,
kindergarten, college, university. Summer also brings increased number
of marriage celebrations through weddings. What is your experience of
celebration? I am asking because over the past couple of centuries there
has been insidious (sinister, deceptive, devious) theological rationale
against celebration of any kind. I would use just one paragraph to
illustrate this. A 19
th
century author, George D. Watson writes in 1896
the spirit that opens the gates of heaven longs for the coming of
Jesusand would gladly never have any physical pleasure but for the
legitimate needs and recreations of the body. In the language of the wise
man It eats for strength, and not for mere pleasure of appetite. Sounds
very pious, very ascetic and austere! For too many followers of Jesus the
natural attire is sackcloth and ashes. But is it right?
I am reflecting on this because celebrating the joy of everyday life is
a spiritual discipline! Paul when describing spiritual gifts in letter to
Romans (12:10) highlights the gift of mutual celebration of life by words
love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing
honor. To outdo is to literally to get ahead of another for purpose of
celebrating each other. The showing honor term is an expression for
celebrating a person with a party! It was something common in those
days, having meat and drink, sweets and laurel wreath, just like when the
prodigal returned home, the father threw a feast! The Gospel is full of
celebrations of life at the table, with food and fellowship, celebrating those
who play important roles in our lives. The glorious hope of Coming
Christ is presented in terms of the wedding feast!
I invite you to return to the Biblical perspective of celebration as the
life of joy in Gods presence even here and now, for the Kingdom of God
is within us! (Luke 17:21)
Ancient Israel was commanded! To gather together three times a
year to celebrate goodness of God! The true celebration comes from
inner joy. And, notice the first aspect of the Spirits fruit of love is joy!
(Galatians 5:22-23). If you have the Joy of the Spirit celebrate! Do not
hide the celebration; it would be quenching the Spirit of God! There is no
need to pretend to celebrate when the spirit is not in us. But, when the
Spirit produces Joy of the Lord celebrate before the Lord!
Paul writes rejoice in the Lord always and again I say REJOICE!
(Philippians 4:4) We are to celebrate and rejoice in God even when we
encounter difficulties.
Today as Adventurers are celebrating their achievements, celebrate
with them! It is a CORPORATE discipline, meaning one cannot practice
celebration alone. When joy is shared with people it is multiplied. Our
celebration of life is the Doxology giving God the Glory. Do not feel shy
when the spirit bursts in celebration.
your servant, pastor Alex Golovenko
