Homily for the Funeral of Derek DiGregorio.docxJames Knipper
油
This morning our parish came together to mourn the passing of a dear friend, Derek DiGrgorio. Being diagnosed around the age of ten with Ataxia Telangiectasia, over half his life his ministry to others came from the position of sitting in a wheelchair. His gift his blessing to me and to all those around him was teaching us how he faced adversity how to take it head onand with the grace of God, how we convert those challenges to advantages. In short - how we take our dis-ablementsour cracks and our wounds and to allow the light of Christ to shone forth from those cracks and on to others.

And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it. And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's. And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.

In Acts 6:1-7 we see how the 12 apostles manage a crisis with great skill. The unity of the church was at risk as the Greek-speaking Christians complained that their widows were being neglected by the Aramaic speaking Christians in Jerusalem. In this text we will see the twelve preserve their priorities while skillfully raising up a team of spiritually qualified Holy-Spirit-filled Greek-speaking Jewish Christians to meet these needs. The unity of the church was preserved and the gospel keeps moving forward. In this text, although they are not called "deacons", these 7 men clearly become the template for this future ministry of service to the church. We also see that the spread of the gospel will include some of the hardest to reach people, the very Sadducean priests who were persecuting the apostles and denying the resurrection of Jesus!
