The Hated but Good Person
Worship Service: Children & Adult - 22 Aug, 2010
Our idea of love can be so subjective... is that always good? (Luke 10:29-37; Matthew 22:39; AC 351, 9780) "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Matthew 22:39) Charity means love to the neighbor and compassion, for anyone who loves his neighbor as himself also has as much compassion for him in his suffering as he does for himself in his own. (Heavenly Secrets #351) The Samaritan..."came to the man who was wounded by thieves, and bound up his wounds and poured in oil and wine" (Luke 10:33, 34). Here are not meant oil and wine, but the good of love and of charity, by "oil" the good of love, and by "wine" the good of charity and of faith; for the subject treated of, is the neighbor, thus charity toward him.

Healing the Leper
Worship Service: Children & Adult - 15 Aug, 2010
Dealing with people in disorder And He laid His right hand upon me, signifies life from Him. This is evident from the signification of "right hand," as being, in reference to the Lord, life from Him... "to touch with the hand" signifies to communicate and transfer to another what pertains to oneself, and also to receive from another. To communicate and transfer to another what pertains to oneself, in reference to the Lord, as here, is to communicate and transfer life such as those have who are in a state of illumination and who see and hear such things as are in heaven…. "To touch with the hand" is to communicate and transfer to another, because the whole power of man is transferred from the body into the hands; consequently what the mind wills that the body should do, that the arms and hands do… (Apocalypse Explained #79) | By Andrew M.T. Dibb, Ivyland New Church, PA

The Man Called Melchizedek
Worship Service: Children & Adult - 11 Jul, 2010
The King of Salem and Priest to God Most High (Gen. 14:18; John 6:35; AC 1728) "And Melchizedek, King of Salem, brought forth bread and wine, and he was priest to God Most High." (Genesis 14:18) “It is the Lord who governs all things in the universe, in general and in particular, as King by Divine Truth, and as Priest by Divine Good. . . . This was what Melchizedek represented as King of Salem and as Priest of the Most High God.” (Heavenly Secrets #1728) | By Thomas Rose, Ivyland New Church, PA
