We hope 6 00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:32.280 it inspires you to honor God and make disciples in 7 00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:36.960 your community. 8 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:42.200 Last chapter of the Book of John, which is the Gospel. 9 00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:46.280 What a way to end the gospel with this story. 10 00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:49.719 If you're really familiar about the encounter of Peter with 11 00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:52.719 our Lord Jesus Christ. After here, before he ascended to 12 00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.320 the heaven to the Father, he really had a. 13 00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:59.000 Divine encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ. 14 00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:04.079 So Peter was one of the most controversial, if not 15 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.120 the most popular disciple of all time. 16 00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:15.200 It might be for some reasons, might be popular for pop. 17 00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:26.719 So maybe Peter is both okay, because of his uh, flamboyant, 18 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:32.680 fragile personality. You know, Peter was what's called really his 19 00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:35.079 name is Simon, which is a wish. 20 00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.879 He was a pebbulous stone, okay, So, but he was 21 00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:40.719 renamed Peter. 22 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:45.159 Like some other people who are here. You were named 23 00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:50.280 by your parents, no, without any choice. Your name as Stilo, 24 00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:55.280 I'm Estelito by birth. I cannot do anything, but I 25 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:59.159 need to make my nickname a little cute Tito. 26 00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:02.079 Okay and la Right. 27 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:08.719 So some of you may be Provopio okay, Anastacio a 28 00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:09.879 lot Bonifacio. 29 00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:15.840 But you know names are names, okay, and names are. 30 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:21.159 Symbols of who we are and God is in sovereign power. 31 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:28.039 We name Simon to become Peter, which means table, strong 32 00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:32.520 in stature and in posture. But when we read the 33 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.159 Peter in the Bible, it's not the case. We can 34 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:39.759 see Peter is different. But what matters most is how 35 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:41.360 God sees us. 36 00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:44.439 You know that that God sees us. 37 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.639 Differently in how we see ourselves. That's why when you 38 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.319 fish the mirror every day, you can see a person 39 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:54.840 that is not typical of what we want to be right. 40 00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:59.840 We want to be kindly different in everything that we do. 41 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:06.840 Peter's life is a classic example of what we have 42 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:13.280 a trading disciple but always fails. There's a lot of 43 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.280 people nowadays want to follow the Lord, but they felt 44 00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:20.360 like they're a failure. They become unfaithful to the calling 45 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:24.479 of God in their own life. Let's look into some 46 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:28.240 of the highlights of Peter's life during the time he 47 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:28.719 was here. 48 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:34.120 So Peter's impulsive highlight. First, he stated that he would 49 00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.599 never deny knowing Jesus. 50 00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:41.080 Yet before the next morning he had denied him three times. 51 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.240 Lord Digita, they deny it chatter, and then the following 52 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:53.120 morning three times they deny naphil cream denially. Peter Becausino 53 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:57.120 Nasa us embassy fifteen years ago, I was denied four 54 00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:05.599 times okay, deny within a five hundred US visa maha 55 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.960 one hundred and fifty dollars okay. So he was also 56 00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.120 one who would basically step out of the boat walk 57 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:17.839 on the water towards Jesus. Then he realized his faith 58 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:21.279 wasn't as great as he thought, and he started to 59 00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:28.759 sing trabno the impulsiveness of Peter to do things on 60 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:37.439 a mazmabilisi maxalitak is a magisia okat okay okay. 61 00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:40.199 Then Jesus started to reveal that he was going to 62 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:40.759 be killed. 63 00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:45.279 Peter rebuked him and said that would never be done 64 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:49.720 to you, Jesus, And the Lord says, get thee behind me, 65 00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:53.399 satan okay mission not ten times a bin you know, 66 00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:59.879 Samarai biganating a man tribe nothing, get this behind met him. 67 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.600 And that's what real day, the real score of Jesus 68 00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:11.120 seeing Peter to be an hindrance to the general plan 69 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:15.199 of God for salvation. And another instance, and when Jesus 70 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.360 was arrested in just semone in the guard and Peter 71 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:22.439 drove his sword and cut off the ear of the 72 00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:32.879 high priests sleeve tangal you know, know, but you know 73 00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:36.519 what the target is not the ear, is the neck mail. 74 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.439 He could be a murderer at that time. And when 75 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.439 John and Peter came to the empty Tooman Easter morning, 76 00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:49.639 John respectfully stood at the doorway, but not Peter. 77 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.920 He was rushed in and saw he situated. Then he 78 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:55.360 ran home. 79 00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:02.319 Terrified. Patty nothing, because Peter is a pet It was petrified. 80 00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.639 So Peter is the most likely person that we would 81 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:12.279 ever love. Comerica Peter A Moyan he and friend Usa 82 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:19.079 Facebook and like Moyan Iomusa. Okay, there are some people 83 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:22.879 we love and the people we don't like, but it's okay. 84 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:26.639 We have the right to like people and love people 85 00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:31.199 as well. So with all this scenario and condition that 86 00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:36.319 Peter had in his life as a growing disciple, he 87 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:39.399 felt the heaviness of being a failure. 88 00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:44.319 Have you ever felt a failure in your life? Have 89 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:45.399 you ever felt that? 90 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:50.959 You know Molana Pagassa, I stop, I quit, I will 91 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:56.360 never never walk this way again. I'll stop whatever I do, 92 00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:03.519 I do what is right before my eyes. Peter had 93 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:07.360 that kind of sense of failure. When a person had 94 00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:12.279 a sense of failure, they experience these things. 95 00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:20.439 First. They were discouraged, a difficulty to move on, diminished. 96 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:22.959 They felt so weak. They don't want to wake up 97 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:25.720 in the morning. They always want to sleep all day long. 98 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:35.279 Ban tao okay, while and texts everything his drug. He's 99 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:40.240 then motivated, inspired, uninspired, very slow, static. He wants to 100 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:47.360 be alone, isolated people, and that is depressed, very sad, somber, 101 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:53.319 sense of laws and security. I make psychologists by professional 102 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:57.040 and pastor our counselor many of my I call the 103 00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:03.319 clients are suffering from depression, and mind you, if there 104 00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:08.560 is a hospital for emotionally unhealthy people, it would be 105 00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:09.160 pulled back. 106 00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:10.839 They're a lot. 107 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:13.959 Even in the stage when you go to the States, 108 00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:17.279 antidepressent drug are just over the counter. 109 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:19.519 It's like bio Jessic. 110 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.480 It's like diatabs okay, and everything that you can buy 111 00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:27.480 overhound without the receipt because it's common. 112 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:33.279 But depression is very dangerous and we can see that 113 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:34.120 in the life of. 114 00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:40.240 Judas who hung himself. He cannot take it because of 115 00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:48.159 his failure. Our sense of failure and guilt are hurtful experiences. 116 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:50.679 It's hard. 117 00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:56.200 We don't want to undergo these things. And how many 118 00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:59.279 of us here can relate what I'm saying right now? Okay, 119 00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:07.720 it's hard. It is easier said than done. Madalign modali 120 00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:13.679 la sabina Okay, is hard because in the eco you 121 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:19.240 make a tawanah sometimes people you know, that's very senseless. 122 00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:22.679 Okay, why are you suffering this time? Etcetera. But you 123 00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:24.879 know this is not who you are and this is 124 00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:27.440 not the person you're talking to. 125 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:33.639 But God and his grace enables us to recover and 126 00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:36.960 enables us to move towards what God wants us to have. 127 00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:38.720 In this story. 128 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:42.000 In Johan twenty one, it depicts upon the life of Peter, 129 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:48.120 the disciple, who loved Jesus so much, but his love 130 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:53.279 cannot decontained to his actions and faithfulness in following the Lord. 131 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:57.360 Like any other disciples like us. We love the Lord 132 00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:05.039 so much, she need to well. 133 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.519 Okay, and maybe ten or twenty times a week is 134 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:19.799 what Peter is experiencing during those times. So our mandate 135 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.519 really is to follow Jesus. And John twenty one gave 136 00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:29.679 us a classic illustration of what the son we should 137 00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:33.480 learn as a disciple. What are the three lessons that 138 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:40.200 Peter really realized and encountered while with Jesus. Number one, 139 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:45.440 we need to follow Jesus with humility. Simon Peter said 140 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.879 to them, I'm going for fishing. They said to him, 141 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:51.720 we will go with you. They went out, got into 142 00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:56.120 the boat, but the night came they caught nothing. Just 143 00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:59.159 as they were breaking, Jesus stood on the shore. Yet 144 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.639 the disciple did know that it was Jesus. Jesu said 145 00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:07.039 to them, children, do you have any fish? They answered no. 146 00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:10.360 He said to them, cast your net on the right 147 00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.879 side of the boat and you will find some. So 148 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:15.840 they cast it, and now they were. 149 00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:18.840 Not able to haul it because of the quantity of fish. 150 00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:22.159 In fact, the number of fish that they caught was 151 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:26.360 one hundred fifty six, and the Bible typically say it's 152 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:27.360 large fish. 153 00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:30.240 Large kay lapu lapu. 154 00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:34.840 No Hindi Dili is Hindi toyo and akuhanela large and 155 00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:42.440 the miracle is Hindi napun net. It's only because Jesus 156 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:48.480 wants to make a statement because during that time magolion Niepeter, 157 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.840 he said, I'm going out fishing. He's saying something Tapusna 158 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:56.159 one chapter Napagagan disciple. 159 00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:58.320 Call, I'll go back to where I belong. I went 160 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.320 to do it my way, not the Lord's way. 161 00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:04.840 You always do it your way, right, my way, and 162 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:11.480 Mamma Tatao. 163 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:10.360 Okay, my way. 164 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:12.639 You always want to do it your way, and she 165 00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:15.960 just said, no, it's not your way, it's my way. 166 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:21.600 You see, you spend all night long. You said you're 167 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:29.000 an expert fisherman, and you got Tidi my master fishermen 168 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:38.720 said he's a master fisher and all night long. And 169 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:42.799 it's un characteristic for fishermen to throw their nets to 170 00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:46.159 the right side, because that norm is that you always 171 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:47.879 throw your net to the web side. 172 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:59.639 You see, Sidney Peter. But man, k we're expert fishermen. Okay, 173 00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:01.399 you're as a carpenter. 174 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:08.759 Have in it coming to run into but to their 175 00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:12.519 shame and never realizing Peter. 176 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:16.600 Now, Jesus Christ not just a master carpenter. He's the 177 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:17.840 lord of all creation. 178 00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:22.480 He can dictate all the fish to go everything to 179 00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.279 the right rather than to the left, and take a 180 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:33.360 hold on fifty six toma. But that's the only thing, 181 00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:35.519 the maximum number. 182 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:39.000 Of fish that they can hold. What are we trying 183 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:39.600 to say here? 184 00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:49.000 Jesus is teaching great humility to Peter the disciple. He's saying, Lord, 185 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:52.960 I can do something for myself. Maybe I can be 186 00:13:53.759 --> 00:14:02.720 okay here, kume or respect as are really Lord is 187 00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:04.200 a professional pigan fishermen. 188 00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:08.879 And it's like what we are right. If we do 189 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.720 something we fail, we do and come back and do 190 00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:15.600 something that we're used to do. And there's a high 191 00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:17.279 degree for us to be successful. 192 00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:34.960 Kay Lord babayanganyan connectionan popular compromises many and God is 193 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.320 teaching us something on humility. Whenever will fail, all that 194 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:45.639 it's better to fail than fail to follow. Right, it's 195 00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:48.799 always for us where we fail, it's okay, because no 196 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:53.320 one really becomes successful without failing. But what God wants 197 00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:57.919 us to have is to humble ourselves before him. Whoever 198 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:02.320 humbled himself shall be lifted up. God will always want 199 00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:05.399 us to be humble servants of the Lord. 200 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:07.360 It's no amount of. 201 00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:15.240 Smartness, the amount of intelligence is no amount of discarded 202 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:17.399 for what they are. 203 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:20.399 That brings about success in life. 204 00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:25.240 If you're a Christian, you yield upon the power and 205 00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:29.519 the success that God once we have. We need to 206 00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:33.799 have that kind of habitual dependence on God. Habit means 207 00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:36.279 you always do it every day, you always keep you 208 00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:40.399 remind yourself.

I have that picture in my death 216 00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:30.039 in my ofice table because it always reminds me of 217 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:34.159 my humble beginnings. I always think about Mysego during that 218 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:36.399 time thirty years ago when I was student. I was 219 00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:39.759 seventeen years old, then at USD taking up a BS 220 00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:49.759 pharmacy Well Galia Galiza chemistry no, then chemistry one, okay, napilitan. 221 00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:51.279 Pharmacy. 222 00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:55.840 But whenever I look at it, I always learned humbling 223 00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:59.879 moments are I know where I began. I only preached 224 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.360 to a bunch of ten twelve students in a ten 225 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:05.799 square meter boarding house in the Pitan. 226 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:10.799 And this is reminded me. I need to humble myself 227 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:12.200 before before God. 228 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:15.559 No matter where we are, what we are, Miyama gonna 229 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:24.839 go Anakaparin and jos Hindikai get taken in. And this 230 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:28.039 is what God is telling Peter, and this is what 231 00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:31.319 God is telling all of us, that we can never 232 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:35.960 never outdo God, and we can never never be proud of. 233 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:36.519 Who we are. 234 00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:41.160 The more we try to force ourselves improve something to ourselves, 235 00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:41.599 the more. 236 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:42.920 Well God will humble us. 237 00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:45.759 But the more you humble yourself, God will leave you up. 238 00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:52.079 That's why John says, God, Jesus, let you increase and 239 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:59.200 I decrease. Number two second lesson that Peter understood in 240 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:03.960 his life Jesus was you need to follow Jesus with integrity. 241 00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:07.640 Integrity is making your word become one with your action 242 00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:09.279 and your attitude. 243 00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:14.119 We can say one thing and do another thing. Remember 244 00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:14.920 this word. 245 00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:18.480 When Jesus asked Peter three times, do you love me 246 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:27.559 more than this para word no, That is an opportunity 247 00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:33.599 for Peter to validate his love for Jesus. What Jesus 248 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:37.640 is saying right now to Peter's that words are cheap 249 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:54.440 ama salita, cheap maram, samatatas nasalita, phosa inde namatamala the India. 250 00:18:57.039 --> 00:18:58.960 Well, that's what God is saying to Peter. 251 00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:01.839 You know, if you love me, feed my sheep, feed 252 00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:05.920 my lamp. Okay, it's not about what you say, is 253 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:11.920 what you do right as a faithful disciple of the Lord. 254 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:15.039 What God wants us to have is the integrity of 255 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:19.279 words and into action. We need to walk the talk. 256 00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:22.799 We can say I love you, and yet we're cheating. 257 00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:26.240 We can say I love you, but we're lying and 258 00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:27.160 deceiving people. 259 00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:29.440 Words are not enough. 260 00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:32.960 Jesus said to Peter, I know you love me so much, 261 00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:38.039 but you need to learn to love put that love 262 00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:42.000 into action by showing your love for me. 263 00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:52.519 In fact, Peter eluded death when he escaped capture. 264 00:19:54.359 --> 00:20:03.000 That's what he's saying, panindigano, panindigristi, pandian. Especially when we're 265 00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.160 attempted as Christians to prove who we are. It's a 266 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:12.519 practical life. Nothing pact fine and bi r tamba nothing 267 00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:14.079 as well. 268 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:21.680 Do not do we treat people fairly and squarely? Do 269 00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:23.279 we pay the right thing to do? 270 00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:26.839 Are we faithful in every little things that we do? 271 00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:30.799 But God is trying to say to us as disciples 272 00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:33.880 that we need to we need to be faith on 273 00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:34.640 what we're saying. 274 00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:38.400 What Peter is saying to God, to Jesus that Lord, 275 00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:42.839 I cannot have the love that you have for me. 276 00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:46.920 The agapi love is for God and I can show 277 00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:48.440 it Flo. It's fine. 278 00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:51.960 God doesn't expect us to show the love the kind 279 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:53.519 of love that Jesus did for us. 280 00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:59.279 It's hard. But being faithful in loving our brothers and sisters. 281 00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:03.200 Just like what she said, here, feed my sheep, ten 282 00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:06.640 my land means continue to do what I'm doing to 283 00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:10.720 the people around us. Don't escape the reality. Don't escape 284 00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:14.240 being a disciple. That's how it is to be a 285 00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:18.119 disciple of the Lord. No matter what God's love is 286 00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:19.720 always burning in our soul. 287 00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:21.599 The experience. 288 00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:24.440 There are times when you feel down, but you can 289 00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:27.839 still feel the love of the Lord.

I was crucified with two. 307 00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:45.559 Thieves and handed down. 308 00:22:48.920 --> 00:23:00.160 Daikund reputations in Sabbim and Peter said, really hard for 309 00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:01.359 me to say, I love you. 310 00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:09.440 Bibleba. Peter was grieved because he was asked for the 311 00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:26.200 third time say said dumb damn Lord, Lord and mctamp para, 312 00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:30.039 it's imaginable for us to really think about such thing. 313 00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:33.440 And with this God wants to teach. 314 00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:37.119 Us as disciples and many people whom we are discipling 315 00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:40.480 with to have that kind of attitude in life, you 316 00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:41.559 will never grow. 317 00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:42.240 Now. 318 00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:44.640 I've been a Christian for three decades now, and I 319 00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:49.400 think there's no secret in discipleship. The only thing that 320 00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:52.640 we can continue to do discipleship and be a disciple 321 00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:53.240 is one thing. 322 00:23:54.160 --> 00:24:00.880 Obey the Lord, follow him, Follow God. That's all. 323 00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:07.279 We had no one to emulate and be like than 324 00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.000 our Lord, Jesus Christ. The Bible says, be christ Like. 325 00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:15.279 We don't need to be someone whom we are not. 326 00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:22.000 My inspiration is God, My motivation is the Lord. 327 00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:25.799 In my life. God wants us to be where we 328 00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:29.720 are and what we are because of Him. 329 00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:34.720 That's why it's very vivid in the mind of people 330 00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:39.680 what Jesus said, ped my sheep and tend my land. 331 00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:45.599 That's why when he recovered and become awakened to become 332 00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:49.960 a good disciple, then he said in Persepittor five, verse two, 333 00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:55.640 the shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, 334 00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:59.920 watching over them, not because you must, but because your will, 335 00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:04.920 as God wants you to be. Not pursuing this houns gain, 336 00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:11.079 but eager to serve very heavy because he took and 337 00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:14.599 he realized what Jesus said for him. 338 00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:18.279 To have as a disciple. 339 00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:22.279 I have a picture here when I've taken in a 340 00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:25.519 Church of Nativity in Jerusalem, when we were there about 341 00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:28.079 two years ago. This is a picture of a shepherd 342 00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:32.359 carrying a sheep on his back. Okay, when you look 343 00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:34.240 at first of the picture, he said, wow, what a 344 00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:35.160 carrying shepherd. 345 00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:37.720 The guy would like, you. 346 00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:41.720 Know, when the tourist guy told us not, you know, 347 00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:46.400 the the lamb on the back of Pilayan. 348 00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:48.119 He's a people sheep. 349 00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:54.680 His leg was cracked by the shepherd. Why because that 350 00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:58.480 sheep tends to be pass away. He always go to 351 00:25:58.599 --> 00:26:03.160 the ditch and jump. Everyone follow him. Okay, So sometimes 352 00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:07.559 God discipline us. Sometimes God will give some discipline on 353 00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:11.440 our part so that we will learn, and that discipline 354 00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:15.279 we will never forget. And that that's what we call 355 00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:20.559 we we walk with the limb, because you know, whenever 356 00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:24.240 you remember that, you remember the discipline of the Lord. 357 00:26:24.519 --> 00:26:27.960 And you know it's always great to be disciplined by God. 358 00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:31.359 How many of us had been disciplined by the Lord. Okay, 359 00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:41.039 discipline the Lord to go Rome disciplining the Lord to 360 00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:47.640 go room. God discipline us in a way and manner 361 00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:49.920 that God wants us to have in this life. 362 00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:56.200 We cannot escape the discipline of the Lord. 363 00:26:57.920 --> 00:27:03.400 Uh two weeks ago, I can't someone okay, And he 364 00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:08.759 shared to me about his life on how he he 365 00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:12.119 backslidden and take out in the ministry of the Lord 366 00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:15.200 and do a lot of immorality. Then he said to me, 367 00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:18.119 I know in my heart that there will come a 368 00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:23.000 time that I need to suffer and experience the consequences 369 00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:26.680 of this. I escape the discipline of God, but now 370 00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:31.200 never I want the discipline of God to be upon me. Now, 371 00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:33.960 whatever it takes, I will undergo the discipline of God. 372 00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:36.079 And that's how it is makapati. 373 00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:40.440 Never never escape the discipline of God. 374 00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:48.160 Because God loves those whom he disciplined. It's always the 375 00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:53.160 right thing to come to the Lord and be disciplined 376 00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:57.400 by God. One Johan, chapter three, verse sixteen says, this 377 00:27:57.559 --> 00:28:01.720 is how we know that what love is. This is 378 00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:04.200 laid down his life for us, and we ought to 379 00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:06.200 lay down our lives for our brothers. 380 00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:09.960 This is one of the mandate of Jesus to Peter 381 00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:15.640 feed my sheep, feed my lamb. Where are all disciples here? 382 00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:20.519 Being a Christian and being a disciple during the New 383 00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:24.880 Testament is one of the same. Now that there's no gap, 384 00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:28.680 But through the years of life in the modern days, 385 00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:32.039 being a Christian and being a disciple, there's always a 386 00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:36.839 gap in between. Right because of worldliness. Probably there are 387 00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:39.880 men and alto challenges of the world can give. We 388 00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:44.599 try to be enticed by the worldly offers. And there's 389 00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:51.440 a great gap between Christianity and the disciples during my time. 390 00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:55.599 But Christian come have a come Bible during my time 391 00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:04.799 Christian Christian Bible, Bible, okay, And. 392 00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:08.400 It cannot be. 393 00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:12.920 Measured on how the outer appearance that should go being 394 00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:16.200 a Christian church is not the picture that you wear. 395 00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:18.559 It's not the emden that you wear. It's not the 396 00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:22.200 sticker in your car, it's not how big or now. 397 00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.400 It's your Bible. Because you yourself is a living epiecele 398 00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:26.799 of God. 399 00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:32.799 Your life is the best testimony of who Jesus is 400 00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:37.720 in your life. So how can we breach that gap? Nowadays? 401 00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:42.640
