- | "Where cross the crowded ways of life." | 3:00 |
These are the words of a great social gospel hymn | 3:03 | |
written by Frank Mason North. | 3:06 | |
Frank Mason North was an idealistic young student, | 3:09 | |
working among New York City's desperately poor | 3:13 | |
in the Hell's Kitchen area of New York. | 3:16 | |
And this hymn arises out of his experiences there in 1903. | 3:19 | |
"Where cross the crowded ways of life." | 3:24 | |
Right there, in the middle of human need and suffering | 3:27 | |
there is where we hear the voice of Jesus. | 3:31 | |
In the middle of the marketplace, | 3:35 | |
amid dark despair, wherever there is war or suffering, | 3:37 | |
there the cross is raised again and again | 3:42 | |
and there is our Lord. | 3:46 | |
When I came to Duke Chapel a decade ago, | 3:50 | |
we initiated the stations of the cross on Good Friday. | 3:53 | |
Beginning at the Bryan Center, walking behind the cross, | 3:58 | |
a procession moves to various stations around the campus. | 4:02 | |
And at each station, we remember some event | 4:05 | |
from Good Friday, the trial, | 4:08 | |
the crucifixion and the death of Jesus. | 4:10 | |
That Stations of the Cross has become for many of us | 4:14 | |
one of the most memorable services of the year. | 4:18 | |
There's something about walking behind the cross, | 4:21 | |
hearing the words of Scripture, | 4:24 | |
describing the suffering, the injustice, the death of Jesus, | 4:26 | |
juxtaposed with the Duke campus | 4:30 | |
on a spring day at noon. | 4:32 | |
Students are sunning themselves on the lawn. | 4:34 | |
People toss Frisbees, shout to one another. | 4:37 | |
And there, there moving through it all is the cross | 4:40 | |
and people walking behind it, a pastor chanting | 4:44 | |
from one of the psalms of lament, | 4:48 | |
Christians gathered around their Scriptures, | 4:50 | |
walking behind the cross. | 4:53 | |
One year, we even got a call from someone | 4:56 | |
over at the admissions office asking us | 4:59 | |
if we could cancel the service, | 5:01 | |
or at least move it discreetly inside the chapel | 5:03 | |
because they were having a special weekend | 5:06 | |
to recruit Duke students. | 5:09 | |
And, as they said, "Some of the prospective students | 5:12 | |
"might get the wrong idea about Duke | 5:14 | |
"from witnessing the procession." | 5:16 | |
Wrong idea, indeed. | 5:19 | |
Well, we didn't cancel the service. | 5:21 | |
I'm sure there are those who think that Christians | 5:23 | |
ought to keep such services to ourselves, | 5:26 | |
ought to tuck them safely within the chapel | 5:29 | |
where no one could be made uncomfortable | 5:32 | |
on a spring afternoon by a man dying on a cross. | 5:35 | |
The trouble is, Christianity is the sort of religion | 5:40 | |
that thrives in the marketplace, | 5:43 | |
amid the tug and the pull of daily life, | 5:46 | |
proceeding into where we live, | 5:49 | |
intruding into where people work or play, | 5:51 | |
suffer, live and die. | 5:55 | |
"Where cross the crowded ways of life | 5:59 | |
"Where sound the cries of race and clan | 6:02 | |
"Above the noise of selfish strife | 6:05 | |
"We hear your voice, O Son of Man." | 6:08 | |
It's Lent, it's the time of the year | 6:13 | |
when we remember our God did not stay aloof, | 6:16 | |
uninvolved, some high and untouchable ideal. | 6:20 | |
Our God came among us. | 6:26 | |
"Where cross the crowded ways of life." | 6:28 | |
That is one of the reasons we call that Friday good. | 6:32 | |

- | We can think of the life of Jesus as a series of journeys. | 10:21 |
When reading the scriptural account of his life on earth, | 10:25 | |
it's striking how often Jesus was on the move. | 10:28 | |
We're invited to follow Jesus on all the roads of his life. | 10:32 | |
In this Lenten season of spiritual reflection, | 10:35 | |
let us look anew at those journeys. | 10:38 | |
There was the great entry into Jerusalem, | 10:41 | |
a parade of shouting children and palm branches. | 10:44 | |
And we, too, should follow, praising and worshiping | 10:47 | |
the One who comes in the name of the Lord. | 10:50 | |
There was a journey from Jerusalem to Jericho, | 10:53 | |
Jesus tells us, | 10:56 | |
a journey interrupted so one man could care for another, | 10:58 | |
a Samaritan for a Jew, | 11:02 | |
even though the world called them enemies. | 11:04 | |
And we too should follow in acts of service, | 11:06 | |
sharing the love which has been our greatest blessing | 11:10 | |
with the sick, the needy, the distressed. | 11:12 | |
There was a road to Emmaus, a strange encounter | 11:16 | |
with that mysterious man Jesus, | 11:20 | |
who showed that God often finds us | 11:22 | |
where we least expect Him. | 11:25 | |
And we too should follow, alert to the signs God gives us | 11:27 | |
in the majesty of His creation, | 11:31 | |
in the blessings of this life, | 11:34 | |
in the loving kindness of our fellow travelers, | 11:36 | |
the signs God gives us of His abiding presence. | 11:39 | |
There was a road to the cross, a way of sorrows, | 11:43 | |
a path of pain where Jesus | 11:47 | |
bore the whips and shouts of abuse | 11:50 | |
to free humanity from its bondage to sin. | 11:53 | |
And we, too, should follow, taking up our own crosses | 11:56 | |
and in our lives lived against the world, | 12:00 | |
enduring its scorn and pain so that in our sacrifice, | 12:04 | |
in our pain, we might know the sacrifice | 12:08 | |
of the most innocent, the sacrifice that redeemed us. | 12:12 | |
There was also a road to the tomb, | 12:16 | |
a road that began in weeping, | 12:18 | |
but ended in shouts of joy. | 12:20 | |
Jesus is risen, praise God. | 12:23 | |
And we too should follow, | 12:26 | |
rejoicing in the great miracle that defeated death itself, | 12:28 | |
rejoicing not just here on Earth, | 12:32 | |
but some day in the presence of the risen Christ in heaven. | 12:34 | |
"If though but suffer God to guide thee | 12:38 | |
"and hope in God through all thy ways, | 12:41 | |
"He'll give thee grace, whate'er betide thee | 12:44 | |
"and bear thee through the evil days. | 12:47 | |
"Who trusts in God's unchanging love | 12:50 | |
"builds on the rock that naught can move." | 12:53 | |
The good news is that God is with us on all our journeys, | 12:57 | |
guiding us in our joy and in our pain. | 13:01 | |
Jesus told the crowd, "I am the Good Shepherd | 13:04 | |
"and I know my sheep and am known by my own. | 13:07 | |
"As the Father knows me, even so I know the Father | 13:10 | |
"and I lay down my life for the sheep." | 13:14 | |
The promise of Jesus is that He will guide | 13:17 | |
and direct our lives with the hand | 13:20 | |
of a loving sacrificial shepherd. | 13:22 | |
As we stop this Lent to examine our lives, | 13:25 | |
let us look for that shepherding hand. | 13:27 | |
As we seek to renew our faith, | 13:30 | |
let us trust more fully in the wisdom of the good shepherd, | 13:33 | |
the strength of the rock we are built upon. | 13:36 | |
As we look at life and across its shadow, | 13:40 | |
let us return love so freely given | 13:42 | |
with acts of mercy and reverent worship, amen. | 13:46 | |

- | God of the cross, chafe our shoulders | 17:32 |
with the cross of Thy love. | 17:35 | |
O love, deep and wondrous, be here now. | 17:36 | |
The back bent under toil, | 17:40 | |
the knee under sin, the hands to the face under fear, | 17:42 | |
the head bent under grief. | 17:47 | |
Bow stubborn knees. | 17:49 | |
Greet this great burden with gratitude and joy. | 17:51 | |
God of the suffering cross, | 17:55 | |
from the cowardice that dare not face truth, | 17:57 | |
the laziness that is content with half-truth, | 18:00 | |
and the arrogance that assumes to know all truth, | 18:03 | |
save us. | 18:06 | |
God of redemption, so that by the soul of Christ | 18:07 | |
may I be sanctified. | 18:11 | |
By the body of Christ, saved, | 18:13 | |
by the blood of Christ, inebriated, | 18:15 | |
by the wine that stung His lips, awakened, | 18:19 | |
by the weight of the cross, strengthened, | 18:22 | |
forever and ever, amen. | 18:24 | |

- | As Christians baptized | 21:28 |
into the millions who join the theme, | 21:30 | |
we do not choose our song. | 21:32 | |
As the martyrs sang your song | 21:35 | |
by sword, by stone and by cross, | 21:37 | |
so we open our mouths and receive your perfect song for us. | 21:40 | |
I believe in God the Father. | 21:45 | |
What wondrous love is this? | 21:49 | |
It is a question from the foot of the cross. | 21:52 | |
Why create something that will have to be redeemed by nails? | 21:55 | |
Why this love that looks like death? | 21:58 | |
"For God so loved the world | 22:02 | |
"that He gave His only Son | 22:04 | |
"that whoever believes in Him may not perish | 22:06 | |
"but have eternal life." | 22:08 | |
What is this wondrous love? | 22:11 | |
It is God Himself. | 22:14 | |
Why is it here with us? | 22:16 | |
Because God loved. | 22:18 | |
God was Himself love, | 22:21 | |
and He loved into existence the world | 22:23 | |
so that it might know love. | 22:25 | |
Love is the Creator. | 22:27 | |
Love creates. | 22:29 | |
And we the creation, we are told, "Love one another, | 22:31 | |
"as I have loved you." | 22:35 | |
But we don't do this. | 22:37 | |
We are the missing part. | 22:39 | |
And so, we sing not because of our faith, | 22:41 | |
but because of our lack of it, | 22:43 | |
because, in our inability to believe, we want to believe. | 22:45 | |
I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. | 22:50 | |
We are caught up in a song. | 22:55 | |
And the hope of it is that we could not have written it, | 22:57 | |
could not have conceived of a God who bleeds and dies. | 23:00 | |
The song we are given is always one of the future, | 23:05 | |
as if by singing, we will be propelled to that time, | 23:08 | |
when, free from death, our praise is unthwarted | 23:11 | |
and our breath for song endless. | 23:14 | |
I believe in the Holy Spirit. | 23:18 | |
Why does the Christian sing? | 23:22 | |
We sing because we have been given a song, | 23:24 | |
a wondrous love, and we must sing it | 23:27 | |
or be consumed by it because it is terrifying, | 23:29 | |
this love of the great I AM, | 23:33 | |
who was, who is and who is to be. | 23:35 | |
And if we were singing it alone, | 23:38 | |
we might think we could decide not to want to do it, | 23:41 | |
this complete love that smothers, that nails, that kills. | 23:44 | |
Because we cannot stand the total debt of this love, | 23:49 | |
that our lives are not our own, | 23:52 | |
so that our triumphs are not our own. | 23:54 | |
Our talents are not our own. | 23:56 | |
Our decisions are not our own. | 23:58 | |
Our failures are not our own. | 24:00 | |
Our humiliations are not our own. | 24:02 | |
Our deaths are not our own. | 24:05 | |
They are Christ's, begotten for the purpose of taking them, | 24:09 | |
as we were created to be enveloped | 24:13 | |
into a totalness of praise for the love by which we exist. | 24:15 | |
And even now, we are approaching that end, | 24:19 | |
and we cannot change our course. | 24:23 | |
We are stuck, singing for eternity. | 24:25 | |
Thanks be to God. | 24:29 | |

- | Have you ever noticed that things | 27:55 |
sometimes start out so wonderful | 27:57 | |
and then, before you know it, | 27:58 | |
everything gets all messed up? | 28:00 | |
Suddenly things are ever so wrong. | 28:03 | |
That's how it was in Jerusalem. | 28:07 | |
Could it have been only five days | 28:09 | |
since Jesus rode into the Holy City, | 28:11 | |
with the crowds waving palm branches in greetings? | 28:13 | |
Shouts of, "Hosanna," loud, "Hosanna," they cheered. | 28:16 | |
Now the same crowd was begging Pilate to crucify Him. | 28:21 | |
On His back was the cross on which He would die. | 28:25 | |
In that same place, mounted with a skull, | 28:29 | |
placed in the midst of two other nameless people. | 28:33 | |
But yet, His cross was marked: | 28:37 | |
"Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews." | 28:40 | |
Even Pilate, when asked to change it, | 28:44 | |
said he meant what he'd written. | 28:46 | |
As was foretold, he was nailed to a cross, | 28:50 | |
stripped of his clothes for the whole world to see | 28:53 | |
and given bitter wine to drink. | 28:57 | |
Even after this, His love reached out to His mother, | 29:00 | |
as He turned her care over to Peter. | 29:05 | |
And with only love for those who persecuted Him, | 29:09 | |
He died. | 29:14 | |
How painful, how painful to watch a love offered so freely, | 29:17 | |
so bitterly rejected. | 29:22 | |
How could they ever know that the one mocked | 29:25 | |
would offer mercy, | 29:28 | |
that blood shed would cleanse the ones stripped of dignity. | 29:30 | |
But just who was mocking whom? | 29:38 | |
In his account of the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel | 29:41 | |
describes the scene of a young boy | 29:44 | |
being hung from the gallows. | 29:46 | |
In anguish, one of the elders cries out, | 29:48 | |
"Where is God?" | 29:51 | |
Another responds, "He is hanging in the gallows." | 29:54 | |
Perhaps Dietrich Bonhoeffer was right: | 30:00 | |
"Only a suffering God can save." | 30:03 | |
That's what Lent is all about, God dwelling among us | 30:07 | |
to save us, to redeem us. | 30:12 | |
Thanks be to God, amen. | 30:17 | |
