The Parable Of The Sting
August 14, 2014
Read: 1 Peter 2:9-12
I can still see Jay Elliotts shocked face as I burst through his front door almost 50 years ago with a gang of bees swirling around me. As I raced out his back door, I realized the bees were gone. Well, sort ofId left them in Jays house! Moments later, he came racing out his back doorchased by the bees I had brought to him.
I had more than a dozen stings, with little effect. Jay had a different experience. Though hed been stung only once or twice by my bees, his eyes and throat swelled up in a painful allergic reaction. My actions had caused a lot of pain for my friend.
Thats a picture of whats true in our interpersonal relationships too. We hurt others when our actions arent Christlike. Even after an apology, the sting sticks.
People would be right to expect an absence of harshness and an air of patience from those who follow Christ. We forget sometimes that people struggling with faith, or life, or both, watch Christians with expectation. They hope to see less anger and more mercy, less judgment and more compassion, less criticism and more encouragement. Jesus and Peter told us to live good lives so God is given the glory (Matt. 5:16; 1 Peter 2:12). May our actions and reactions point those around us to our loving Father.
We have found that its easy to hurt others
with our words or actions. Teach us, Father,
to pause and to think before we speak or act.
Fill us with kindness and care.
May others see less of me and more of Jesus.
Peter wrote to Christians who were going through fiery trials of intense persecution (1 Peter 1:6; 4:12). He encouraged these believers to persevere, to remain faithful, and to view these difficult times as opportunities to strengthen their faith and bear witness to Christ. In todays passage, Peter reminded them of their special identity and spiritual status as Gods chosen people (vv.9-10). A chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation are descriptions applied to the Jews in the Old Testament (Ex. 19:5-6; Isa. 43:20-21), but here Peter applies them to believers. He reminds themand usthat we are chosen by God for the purpose of witnessing and testifying to Gods love (vv.9-10).

On July 26, 2001, the original 29 Code Talkers were presented with the Congressional Medal of Honor by President George W. Bush. This long awaited recognition occurred 56 years after World War II despite the fact that the Code saved thousands of lives. The Code had been de-classified in 1968. President Bush did not present the Medal of Honor to the 29 Navajo code talkers honored back in 2001, but presented each with the Congressional Gold Medal, awarded by Congress to persons "who have performed an achievement that has an impact on American history and culture that is likely to be recognized as a major achievement in the recipient's field long after the achievement."
The Medal of Honor (not "Congressional") is awarded by the President in the name of Congress for "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty." It is the highest combat award given in recognition of a specific act of bravery.

What a wonderful thread! I read the whole thing, because I know so little about these brave souls who helped us win that war! It’s sad that it took so long for them to receive recognition for their valuable contribution!
