<v Speaker 2>caught off guard, We.

28
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.319
<v Speaker 3>Are sometimes excited, we sometimes are embarrassed.

29
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:55.359
<v Speaker 2>We say the weirdest things when we encounter people unexpectedly.

30
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:59.120
<v Speaker 2>And this is my personal story about Pastor Steve. When

31
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.400
<v Speaker 2>I encountered If you're familiar with Pastor Steve, he was

32
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.519
<v Speaker 2>one of the missionaries who traveled here in the Philippines

33
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:07.599
<v Speaker 2>who started Victory.

34
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:08.759
<v Speaker 3>In nineteen eighty four.

35
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.560
<v Speaker 2>He was only supposed to be here for three months,

36
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 2>but he ended up staying here, raising his family and

37
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:19.360
<v Speaker 2>being part of the Filipino church here in Victory. And

38
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.520
<v Speaker 2>this is who started Victory, you know. And so when

39
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.719
<v Speaker 2>I encountered Pastor Steve the first time he was about

40
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:30.000
<v Speaker 2>to preach here in Victory Green Hills, it was twenty fifteen.

41
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:33.360
<v Speaker 2>I was still a volunteer. I wasn't in full time

42
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:37.000
<v Speaker 2>ministryt and so Pastor Larry, because Pastor Steve was coming

43
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.599
<v Speaker 2>from the fourth he preached there, he rushed here and

44
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:43.719
<v Speaker 2>he was he will be late for the service. I

45
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:45.879
<v Speaker 2>think it was around the two thirty service. My litle

46
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:49.599
<v Speaker 2>late Napusha and so Sabini Paslari bro, are you okay

00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:57.759
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, sure, but that's a parking Say hi, Pastor

49
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.159

<v Speaker 2>Hi Pastor oh hih, I party his car.

54
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.520

55
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:22.120
<v Speaker 2>But wait till you hear my second encounter with Pastor Steve.

<v Speaker 2>every Nation in our office in the fort the church there.

61
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.919
<v Speaker 2>I was processing some documents. I was about to enter

62
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:46.199
<v Speaker 2>full time ministry. I pulled out the building and I

63
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:50.199
<v Speaker 2>saw a familiar face one of my good friends, Pastor Jojo,

64
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.960
<v Speaker 2>and so I said hi, Hi, Hi, bather Jojo from

<v Speaker 2>Oh Francis sta nandun Dinzy Pastor Steve the glaa Azil.

66
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.159
<v Speaker 3>I think they were on their way to the coffee shop.

67
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.879
<v Speaker 2>And so Pastor Steve being Pastor Steve, he was just

68
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:12.840
<v Speaker 2>there and you know, excited and real means and your

69

00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.720
<v Speaker 2>she Pastor Steve was standing there, and this is what

71
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:33.360
<v Speaker 2>I said, Hi, Pastor Steve, you remember me? H? And

72
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I blurted these words, I parked your car for you,

73
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:46.040
<v Speaker 2>Sabin Pastor, Oh that was a long time ago. Grabby

<v Speaker 2>Alamo as soon as I put the window up.

75
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:56.800
<v Speaker 3>But I'm feeling let me know the full time.

76
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:04.600
<v Speaker 2>When I encountered Pastor's geo, why it was an embarrassing

77
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 2>uh story. It's something although I know that he didn't

78
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:12.920
<v Speaker 2>mind me reacting that way. It's like you guys, when

79
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:21.279
<v Speaker 2>you see Cardo the Lisa ganba Jarama than when we

80
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.879
<v Speaker 2>encounter people, especially people that are popular, what happens We

81
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:29.480
<v Speaker 2>get excited, We get this feeling of oh, how is

82
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:32.920
<v Speaker 2>he normal? Bahan Tao just like me. But this is

83
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:37.680
<v Speaker 2>my question for today. What happens when we encounter Jesus

84
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:38.639
<v Speaker 2>in our lives.

85
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.759
<v Speaker 3>Is it just that exciting feeling, Oh I met Jesus,

86
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:46.879
<v Speaker 3>or is there something that happens to us? Are we

87
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:52.759
<v Speaker 3>changed forever? Are we made different by the encounter we

88
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:54.759
<v Speaker 3>have with Jesus?

89
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:56.920
<v Speaker 2>And that's what we're going to talk about today actually

90
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:58.160
<v Speaker 2>for the next four weeks.

91
00:05:58.920 --> 00:05:59.879
<v Speaker 3>And if you have your.

92
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Bi with you, I'd like to ask you to open

93
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:03.240
<v Speaker 2>it in Luke chapter seven.

94
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:05.040
<v Speaker 3>This is our main text today.

95
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:09.319
<v Speaker 2>This is the encounter of Jesus with a widow and

96
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:12.120
<v Speaker 2>her dead son. This is the story that we will

97
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:17.000
<v Speaker 2>go through today Luke chapter seven, verse eleven to seventeen.

98
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:18.959
<v Speaker 2>And I hope you have your bibles vide so that

99
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:21.879
<v Speaker 2>we're going to go through that verse eleven. It starts

100
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:25.560
<v Speaker 2>with this soon after Jesus went with the disciples to

101
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:30.600
<v Speaker 2>a village of nine and a large crowd followed him.

102
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.319
<v Speaker 2>You have to remember that in chapter seven, this was

103
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:34.439
<v Speaker 2>just the start.

104
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:35.680
<v Speaker 3>Of the ministry of Jesus.

105
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:41.639
<v Speaker 2>He was just starting. So kab Illnian disciples. Yeah, twelve,

106
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:46.839
<v Speaker 2>so nabula yan twelve neen twelve. Now the twelve accompanies

107
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:50.600
<v Speaker 2>him as he ministers. Now he does some miracles. When

108
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.199
<v Speaker 2>he would go to villages, he would pray for the sick,

109
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:57.839
<v Speaker 2>he would heal the blind. He was doing the miracles already,

110
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:02.279
<v Speaker 2>but at this time, hind Papusha as popular Lapa among

111
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.680
<v Speaker 2>social media. So every town that he gets to he

112
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:09.199
<v Speaker 2>was doing and ministering. He was teaching the world and

113
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:15.000
<v Speaker 2>also doing miracles. But again Dipapusha gena popular during this time.

114
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:17.279
<v Speaker 2>In Luke six, this was also the time, if you

115
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:21.079
<v Speaker 2>remember the Beatitudes, he was up on the hill. The

116
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:23.879
<v Speaker 2>crowds were there and he was talking about how it

117
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:25.959
<v Speaker 2>is to live a life that is blessed.

118
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.639
<v Speaker 3>So Luma lagging popularness. Jesus.

119
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.560
<v Speaker 2>At chapter seven of Where We Are Today, Jesus now

120
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:37.680
<v Speaker 2>begins to travel from Capernum. Now he travels to a

121
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:43.199
<v Speaker 2>town called Nain. Nain is around twenty five to thirty

122
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.959
<v Speaker 2>five kilometers away, do you picture it? Green Hills to

123
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:53.319
<v Speaker 2>fourth is around twelve probably twelve kilometers, so at all

124
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:58.160
<v Speaker 2>major significant cha twenty five to thirty five kilometers. During

125
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:03.000
<v Speaker 2>this time, people won from town to town and to

126
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:06.480
<v Speaker 2>take Jesus almost the whole day to get to the inn.

127
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Imagine Jesus, why he would actually go from town to

128
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.360
<v Speaker 2>town the whole day. They would walk with him. Why

129
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:18.319
<v Speaker 2>because they're excited to learn more about this Jesus. They're

130
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:21.720
<v Speaker 2>excited to experience what he's been doing, and so they

131
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:25.519
<v Speaker 2>follow him. A crowd full of hope built up, built

132
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:30.040
<v Speaker 2>up young faith as they experienced Jesus from town to town.

133
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.919
<v Speaker 2>As soon as he enters this town verse twelve. It

134
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:40.080
<v Speaker 2>says here that they enter the inn the gates and

135
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:43.759
<v Speaker 2>a funeral procession was coming out. As he approached the

136
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:49.279
<v Speaker 2>village gate Merumpong Lamai. They were doing a procession on

137
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Mayna pum Namatai Saito. The young man who had died

138
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:56.799
<v Speaker 2>was a widow's only son, and a large crowd from

139
00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:00.720
<v Speaker 2>the village was with her. You often to understand during

140
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:05.480
<v Speaker 2>this time, culturally Jewish people, when somebody dies, he has

141
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:10.879
<v Speaker 2>to be buried the same day twenty four hours, Compel said,

142
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:14.840
<v Speaker 2>But the same day Malibin Shahai, because they were concerned

143
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:16.840
<v Speaker 2>about getting contaminated.

144
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:19.360
<v Speaker 3>Well happen. A manzillam system probably.

145
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Know on how to keep the body on, how to

146
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 2>make sure they preserve it, and so the tradition is,

147
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:29.799
<v Speaker 2>or the rule is that they need to bury that

148
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:33.840
<v Speaker 2>person the same day. What was going through the mind

149
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:38.919
<v Speaker 2>of the mom Sipinmono. That means she just lost her

150
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:43.799
<v Speaker 2>son that day, very fresh. She was going through so

151
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:47.120
<v Speaker 2>much emotions. And in this crowd. You have to understand

152
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:49.720
<v Speaker 2>there were two crowds, one with Jesus full of hope

153
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.360
<v Speaker 2>and the other one with this widow.

154
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:56.360
<v Speaker 3>Full of hopelessness and despair.

155
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.240
<v Speaker 2>The two crowds meet. Don't rain Pono Jewish culture.

156
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:06.120
<v Speaker 3>When you are when you're doing your when you have your.

157
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:09.559
<v Speaker 2>Business, or when you're in the neighborhood Dinell Napoleon Coffin,

158
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.080
<v Speaker 2>you're asked to stand up.

159
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:17.840
<v Speaker 3>And then follow the procession Genzilla. They do it in community.

160
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:21.720
<v Speaker 2>And so now imagine there was a crowd, probably this

161
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:25.000
<v Speaker 2>left side with Jesus and this crowd with the one

162
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:28.720
<v Speaker 2>that will go to the cemetery. But Jesus focuses his

163
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:33.399
<v Speaker 2>eyes on one person. Who's that person? It was not

164
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:38.240
<v Speaker 2>actually the sun, it was actually the widow verse thirteen,

165
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:45.559
<v Speaker 2>that the Lord saw her his heart overflowed with compassion, Tiana.

166
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.080
<v Speaker 3>We can spot easily a person when they are going

167
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:50.840
<v Speaker 3>through something.

168
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:55.519
<v Speaker 2>The experience be on you're in an MRT and then

169
00:10:55.559 --> 00:11:07.360
<v Speaker 2>you nasa patnaic the text speak of text. Possibly that

170
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:19.480
<v Speaker 2>breaks judgmental is a fame place. You're not ready to

171
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:21.159
<v Speaker 2>the church that he make no.

172
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:22.399
<v Speaker 3>Churchurch that.

173
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:33.480
<v Speaker 2>And Sabino Indian dial is a preaching and we see

174
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:38.399
<v Speaker 2>people and their emotions correct, we try to decipher what

175
00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:39.879
<v Speaker 2>is going through their minds.

176
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:45.159
<v Speaker 3>We try to feel what they're going a n now

177
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:46.960
<v Speaker 3>we go sah.

178
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.720
<v Speaker 2>We can probably predict what is happening when we see

179
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:59.440
<v Speaker 2>ficial reactions, when we see emotions, when we see a childrums,

180
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:03.240
<v Speaker 2>we know what's happening. But for Jesus it's different. It

181
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.799
<v Speaker 2>was not a speculation. He was zeroing in in this

182
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:13.360
<v Speaker 2>widow and he actually the Bible says, his heart overflowed

183
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:19.679
<v Speaker 2>with compassion. Jesus saw her for what was happening in

184
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:24.799
<v Speaker 2>her circumstance. There is a picture I got of what

185
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:29.600
<v Speaker 2>probably would she look like during this time. She was

186
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:34.600
<v Speaker 2>a widow meaning mat and the Bible says she.

187
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:39.200
<v Speaker 3>Lost her son.

188
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:45.080
<v Speaker 2>You know they say that for parents, the worst thing

189
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:50.919
<v Speaker 2>that could ever happen is to bury your child. Why

190
00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:54.159
<v Speaker 2>because our role as parents is to bring them out

191
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:57.559
<v Speaker 2>into the world, but not bring.

192
00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:59.399
<v Speaker 3>Them to their resting place.

193
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:04.960
<v Speaker 2>For this widow, I'm sure not only did her son die,

194
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:07.600
<v Speaker 2>some part of her during.

195
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.080
<v Speaker 3>That day she also died.

196
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:16.200
<v Speaker 2>I met one person and we ended up talking about

197
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:20.080
<v Speaker 2>his situation. We ended talking about his concern in life,

198
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:22.200
<v Speaker 2>and I was encouraging him.

199
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:23.600
<v Speaker 3>And this is what he blurted out.

200
00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Alamo Brolan hopeless case. Hopeless situation, a situation where you

201
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.720
<v Speaker 2>know you can't get out of, and this was the

202
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.000
<v Speaker 2>situation of this mother. You have to understand when you

203
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:45.679
<v Speaker 2>are a widow, it means you don't have any opportunity

204
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:50.240
<v Speaker 2>to earn for yourself. Culturally, the men would provide for

205
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:53.480
<v Speaker 2>their wives. And if the husband dies as a widow,

206
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:56.840
<v Speaker 2>who takes care of you it's the male son. And

207
00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:59.120
<v Speaker 2>that's why when you read the scripture, it's very clear

208
00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:04.320
<v Speaker 2>it's arrows in on a hopeless situation. After she buries

209
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:08.960
<v Speaker 2>her son, what happens. She now has nothing, She has

210
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.960
<v Speaker 2>to beg for food. She has to live a life

211
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:15.000
<v Speaker 2>waiting for people to help her. But what if nobody

212
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:15.559
<v Speaker 2>helps her.

213
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:18.759
<v Speaker 3>A life of a widow is difficult.

214
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.960
<v Speaker 2>During those times, nobody would take care of them. That's

215
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.679
<v Speaker 2>why when you read scriptures, the widows were attracted to

216
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:29.559
<v Speaker 2>the church. Why it was the church who was helping them.

217
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:37.039
<v Speaker 2>This widow didn't have any options. She had so much emotions.

218
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:45.639
<v Speaker 2>Imagine in burgas Jesus saw her situation and Jesus sees

219
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:50.399
<v Speaker 2>the future situation that she was entering. This is how

220
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.679
<v Speaker 2>much Jesus knows what was going on through her. And

221
00:14:54.679 --> 00:15:02.240
<v Speaker 2>that's compassion. Loops, I need help, that's compassion. Compassion is

222
00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:09.159
<v Speaker 2>defined as involves allowing ourselves to be moved by suffering

223
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:13.320
<v Speaker 2>and experiencing the motivation to help alleviate and prevent it.

224
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:18.360
<v Speaker 2>An act of compassion is defined by its helpfulness. It's

225
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:22.919
<v Speaker 2>also like empathy is transfind there now, elemin is transfined

226
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:29.840
<v Speaker 2>strengths find okay. Empathy is the ability to understand and

227
00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:34.120
<v Speaker 2>share the feelings of another that whenever you see people,

228
00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:36.399
<v Speaker 2>you know what they're going through, You feel their pain,

229
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:39.120
<v Speaker 2>you feel what they're going through.

230
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:41.679
<v Speaker 3>And this is who Jesus is, this is his nature.

231
00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:49.960
<v Speaker 3>He knows what was exactly happening with this widow question.

232
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.679
<v Speaker 2>We may not have the exact situation as the widow,

233
00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:01.639
<v Speaker 2>but there are parts of our lives where there seems

234
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:02.080
<v Speaker 2>to be.

235
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:08.120
<v Speaker 3>No life anymore. Paran patina in our lives.

236
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:11.960
<v Speaker 2>The dead situations or the hopeless situations that you see

237
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:15.120
<v Speaker 2>in your life that when you think about it. Parbuy

239
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:25.480
<v Speaker 2>you have that never seems to get reconciled. You know,

240
00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:30.360
<v Speaker 2>I've heard families who have never reconciled even until the

241
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:36.720
<v Speaker 2>day na nasa kafinna. They would say this theoda dialog,

242
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.559
<v Speaker 2>dead situation in our lives. We may be alive today,

243
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:44.759
<v Speaker 2>but there are things that are dead in our lives.

244
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:47.320
<v Speaker 2>The dreams that we have might be dead anymore that

245
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:51.080
<v Speaker 2>you stop believing for it, the finances that you used

246
00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:53.240
<v Speaker 2>to have and it seems like it's not coming back.

247
00:16:53.840 --> 00:17:01.279
<v Speaker 2>It's a hopeless situation. You know, Jesus sees and knows.

248
00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:02.519
<v Speaker 3>What you're going through.

249
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:08.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, the biggest lie of the enemy is this

250
00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:15.039
<v Speaker 2>that nobody understands and knows your situation. You know, the

251
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:17.119
<v Speaker 2>world we live in will try to convince ourselves that

252
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:21.960
<v Speaker 2>we are okay, okay okay TiO in social media, but

00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:39.480
<v Speaker 2>this smile that we are okay, but really deep inside

257
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:43.279
<v Speaker 2>we are already broken. A lot of people are going

258
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:47.640
<v Speaker 2>through depression because of this one big lie that the

259
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:53.119
<v Speaker 2>enemy tells them. Nobody knows what's going on in your life,

260
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:58.359
<v Speaker 2>and nobody understands what you need and where you are.

261
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:00.559
<v Speaker 3>You want to know the truth?

262
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:04.599
<v Speaker 2>Are you guys excited for the truth that God wants

263
00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:08.279
<v Speaker 2>to tell us today? This is the truth that Jesus

264
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:11.279
<v Speaker 2>sees you and knows.

265
00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:13.119
<v Speaker 3>What you are going through today.

266
00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:22.680
<v Speaker 2>The dead situation, the hopeless situation in our lives. You

267
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:24.119
<v Speaker 2>you know what God is telling you.

268
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:28.880
<v Speaker 3>He sees you and knows exactly what is going on

269
00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:30.599
<v Speaker 3>in your life.

270
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:35.960
<v Speaker 2>You know the place in in scripture when you read

271
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:39.359
<v Speaker 2>Itasi Jesus done.

272
00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:41.680
<v Speaker 3>He actually went to this town.

273
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:44.960
<v Speaker 2>He walked the whole day, and when he got there,

274
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:47.799
<v Speaker 2>his only and only intention.

275
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:49.839
<v Speaker 3>Was to meet this widow.

276
00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:53.839
<v Speaker 2>I want to encourage you. God knows where you are

277
00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:57.960
<v Speaker 2>and is willing to travel that far to see you.

278
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:00.599
<v Speaker 3>I really this now.

279
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:04.240
<v Speaker 2>When I was preparing for this preaching you first encounter,

280
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:08.759
<v Speaker 2>Golly Jesus. The first encounter I had with Jesus was

281
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:12.880
<v Speaker 2>not an accident. When I met him first time, he

282
00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:17.279
<v Speaker 2>knew exactly what was going on in my heart. He

283
00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:23.839
<v Speaker 2>knew exactly that I needed someone to save me. How

284
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:26.720
<v Speaker 2>many of you have experienced or an encounter.

285
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:30.759
<v Speaker 3>With Jesus already, you.

286
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:33.519
<v Speaker 2>Know your encounter with Jesus when you met him. It

287
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:36.960
<v Speaker 2>was not the first time he saw you in need

288
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:42.400
<v Speaker 2>to accidente see Jesus, he's been looking at you, he's

289
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:46.400
<v Speaker 2>been watching over you, and he knows what you are

290
00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:50.480
<v Speaker 2>going through, exactly what you're going through. As you continue

291
00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:52.880
<v Speaker 2>in verse thirteen, it says you're When the Lord saw her,

292
00:19:54.160 --> 00:20:00.119
<v Speaker 2>his heart overflowed with compassion and he said, don't cry.

293
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Have you experienced going to awake? And then somebody is

294
00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:08.200
<v Speaker 2>saying an insensitive thing in that experience came?

295
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:10.720
<v Speaker 3>And why would you say that.

296
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Yum belongs to Oh come quick abimo? Why? Because it's

297
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:33.799
<v Speaker 2>not okay when we are going through something.

298
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:35.559
<v Speaker 3>We go through it.

299
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:38.599
<v Speaker 2>We are people who feel something when we are hurt.

300
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:41.000
<v Speaker 2>It's okay to be heard when we grieve, it's okay

301
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:41.279
<v Speaker 2>to be.

302
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:42.240
<v Speaker 3>Grief, to grieve.

303
00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:46.559
<v Speaker 2>But Jesus might have been insensitive for the woman. You

304
00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:48.960
<v Speaker 2>have to remember number one, Dinas.

305
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:51.359
<v Speaker 3>Jesus that we do in Ala. It's her first.

306
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Encounter, doesn't even know why he's there, and now Jesus

307
00:20:54.480 --> 00:21:00.000
<v Speaker 2>tells her don't cry?

308
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:00.440
<v Speaker 3>Ama?

309
00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:06.559
<v Speaker 2>Was Jesus insensitive? Probably for some No, why would he

310
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:10.240
<v Speaker 2>say that, you know, Jesus said that because he was

311
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:14.480
<v Speaker 2>about to do something. He was about to do what

312
00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:18.920
<v Speaker 2>nobody could ever do Verse fourteen. Then he walked over

313
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:23.200
<v Speaker 2>to the coffin and touched it, and the bear stopped.

314
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:28.680
<v Speaker 2>You have to understand, you and young. They carried the

315
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:33.039
<v Speaker 2>dead in a stretcher. It's an open coffin, so nakamammi

316
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:41.200
<v Speaker 2>fai yanyan. So people would see. They would see kumatanga

317
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:48.839
<v Speaker 2>so nila takaboo at front and back. What Jesus did

318
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:52.200
<v Speaker 2>was he went to the dead person and stopped it.

319
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:56.160
<v Speaker 3>Culturally that that was not allowed.

320
00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:59.200
<v Speaker 2>When you touch the dead body, you have to be

321
00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:03.480
<v Speaker 2>quarantined for seven days. They say you are now unclean.

322
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:09.039
<v Speaker 2>But Jesus, the son of God, the holy one, the

323
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:13.279
<v Speaker 2>pure one, goes to the unclean. He was never concerned

324
00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:16.440
<v Speaker 2>about being unclean. He was never concerned about rituals. He

325
00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:19.319
<v Speaker 2>was never concerned about what others would say. He just

326
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:23.319
<v Speaker 2>went there and touched the body for it to stop.

327
00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:28.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, Jesus has been like that all throughout his

328
00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:31.319
<v Speaker 2>earthly life. Why he would go out to people who

329
00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:35.640
<v Speaker 2>are lepers, you might outcast you mind Digumaga, and Jesus

330
00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:36.960
<v Speaker 2>would go to them.

331
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:39.559
<v Speaker 3>Jesus goes to the broken.

332
00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:42.759
<v Speaker 2>Jesus goes to the people who feel like nobody wants

333
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:47.519
<v Speaker 2>to go to him, and so he says, he walks

334
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:52.119
<v Speaker 2>over and touches it. You know, sometimes God wants to

335
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:54.880
<v Speaker 2>intervene in your situation. God wants to speak to the

336
00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:58.839
<v Speaker 2>dead situation that you have. God wants to do something

337
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:02.279
<v Speaker 2>in your hopeless situation. But at the same time, the

338
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:06.799
<v Speaker 2>question is are we continually walking? He stops them so

339
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:07.599
<v Speaker 2>that they would.

340
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:11.599
<v Speaker 3>Not move it and go anywhere. So he touches the body.

341
00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:15.400
<v Speaker 2>And this is what he says, young man, I tell

342
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:21.000
<v Speaker 2>you get up. The only thing, the only thing he

343
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:23.240
<v Speaker 2>said to the man, young man.

344
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:27.559
<v Speaker 3>I tell you get up. What happens.

345
00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:31.039
<v Speaker 2>You'd see here that the heart of Jesus is not

346
00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:34.519
<v Speaker 2>only in our dead situation, in our hopeless situation.

347
00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:37.720
<v Speaker 3>Is to go to us, but also he's there to

348
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:40.880
<v Speaker 3>speak life in our situation. This is his heart.

349
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:44.160
<v Speaker 2>He wants you to live a life to the full,

350
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:48.960
<v Speaker 2>not having a sectioned life, no merum dead and then

351
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:51.920
<v Speaker 2>the rest is alive. Second point I want to make

352
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:57.319
<v Speaker 2>Jesus goes to you and speaks life in your situation.

353
00:23:58.200 --> 00:24:00.839
<v Speaker 2>He's the one who reaches out. He's the one who

354
00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:06.359
<v Speaker 2>encounters us. The question is are we allowing him so

355
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:10.200
<v Speaker 2>that he can do his work in us? He goes

356
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:13.400
<v Speaker 2>to us. He's the one who reaches out to us.

357
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:14.920
<v Speaker 3>Verse fifteen.

358
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Then the dead boy sat up and began to talk.

359
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:24.200
<v Speaker 3>And the year it does a dead boy nabu hi

360
00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:26.240
<v Speaker 3>ah patai.

361
00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:32.240
<v Speaker 2>First time in scripture, especially in the context of the

362
00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Gospel of Luke, Jesus does this first miracle and raises

363
00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:38.839
<v Speaker 2>a dead man to life.

364
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:43.079
<v Speaker 3>First miracle of resurrection. It was a preview of his resurrection.

365
00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Imagine, no, I hope when you read your Bible you

366
00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:49.640
<v Speaker 2>try to imagine what's going on in the context.

367
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:50.799
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it needs to go in.

368
00:24:55.440 --> 00:25:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Imagine the naxalitada. What do you think he said? Imagine

369
00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:13.519
<v Speaker 2>I man, okay i. I was trying to imagine it,

370
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:17.799
<v Speaker 2>and it unna come up on the best answer. N

371
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:25.039
<v Speaker 2>you want to know, Yeah, yeah, okayo, yes, all right.

372
00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:28.640
<v Speaker 2>This is not reading the Bible. This is my own interpretation.

373
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:32.519
<v Speaker 2>Jesus get up.

374
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:43.119
<v Speaker 3>Sabina Hindi to yolo, gets me, He gets Hindi.

375
00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:53.599
<v Speaker 2>Those show oncelo No no, no Ah anyway, let's move on, okay, Sabina.

376
00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:56.599
<v Speaker 2>Then the dead boy sat up and began to talk.

377
00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:02.400
<v Speaker 2>We have to understand this that no matter how we

378
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:06.480
<v Speaker 2>do it, no matter how much money we have, we

379
00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:10.000
<v Speaker 2>don't have the capacity to raise the dead and bring

380
00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:14.200
<v Speaker 2>back to life. No matter how many connections did we have,

381
00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:18.039
<v Speaker 2>the situation that we think is impossible, no matter how

382
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:22.400
<v Speaker 2>much resources we have, we can never resurrect the dead

383
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:26.920
<v Speaker 2>and put it to life. And what do we learn here?

384
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:30.599
<v Speaker 2>Only Jesus can bring the.

385
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:31.599
<v Speaker 3>Dead to life.

386
00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:37.960
<v Speaker 2>I challenge you today the things that you are saying, Alana, hopeless,

387
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:41.440
<v Speaker 2>not us a life go You know what, Only Jesus

388
00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:50.839
<v Speaker 2>can resurrect that situation in your life. The things only

389
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:56.519
<v Speaker 2>Jesus can resurrect that situation in your life, The restoration

390
00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:59.400
<v Speaker 2>that you've been one thing, the restoration that you've been

391
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:00.920
<v Speaker 2>working hard for, Pero Ayau.

392
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:04.200
<v Speaker 3>Only Jesus can raise that to life.

393
00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:08.759
<v Speaker 2>You know a lot of people live in the past.

394
00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:12.480
<v Speaker 2>My wife and I know someone very close to us

395
00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:18.960
<v Speaker 2>that whenever we spend time with him, get anything Abah

396
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:27.640
<v Speaker 2>big time remembers.

397
00:27:24.599 --> 00:27:28.880
<v Speaker 3>That boy Parangla.

398
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:32.160
<v Speaker 2>He's stuck in the past. You know what I'm saying

399
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:33.559
<v Speaker 2>Why is he stuck there?

400
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:33.799
<v Speaker 3>Why?

401
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:37.039
<v Speaker 2>Because for him that's life, but the life he now

402
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:41.359
<v Speaker 2>has is dead for him, Junandatku boy and I'm stuck there.

403
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:44.880
<v Speaker 3>You know what, if you want to move on.

404
00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Only Jesus can resurrect that situation you're in and give

405
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:52.880
<v Speaker 2>it life. And so what happens next? He says, here

406
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:59.319
<v Speaker 2>and Jesus gave him back to his mother. That when

407
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:02.880
<v Speaker 2>he was raised from the dead, he gives him back

408
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:07.160
<v Speaker 2>to his mother. What does that mean? Jesus is the

409
00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:10.799
<v Speaker 2>only one who can give life back. Imagine now two

410
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:19.559
<v Speaker 2>minutes ago now cementarial ili li binga instantly when Jesus

411
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:24.519
<v Speaker 2>showed up, he just touched it and said something rise up,

412
00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:25.119
<v Speaker 2>go up.

413
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:34.279
<v Speaker 3>And a reaction No mom anything you happy back? Classic

414
00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:45.240
<v Speaker 3>mom happy bayoo.

415
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:50.599
<v Speaker 2>Shake, rattle enroll. Would you celebrate the goodness of God? Yes? Why?

416
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:55.359
<v Speaker 2>Because we are on our way to hopelessness. To get

417
00:28:55.519 --> 00:29:01.319
<v Speaker 2>buried now and join a taio guy in and a celebration?

418
00:29:01.519 --> 00:29:01.720
<v Speaker 3>Why?

419
00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:06.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, an situation of hopelessness. Jesus has intervened and there

420
00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:10.559
<v Speaker 2>is a good picture though. When Jesus gave the son

421
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:14.880
<v Speaker 2>back to his mother, what does she regain? She regains

422
00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:18.680
<v Speaker 2>the status of living a life.

423
00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:24.720
<v Speaker 3>And she regains the life that she lost.

424
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:29.079
<v Speaker 2>You'm feeling the Noahlanka, you have it one hundred percent,

425
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:34.279
<v Speaker 2>it's back. Only Jesus can make that happen in your

426
00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:39.400
<v Speaker 2>context that the situation you feel is impossible. He is

427
00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:41.880
<v Speaker 2>the only one who can give it back to you

428
00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:52.640
<v Speaker 2>and say an app enjoy it. Imagine a relationship dida

429
00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:54.920
<v Speaker 2>wela Christian stay.

430
00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:57.480
<v Speaker 3>He called.

431
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:15.759
<v Speaker 2>You grab by Why this is his check and second

432
00:30:16.119 --> 00:30:19.720
<v Speaker 2>chance of life. A lot of things change when we

433
00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:22.880
<v Speaker 2>experience the goodness of God. When God speaks life to

434
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:23.519
<v Speaker 2>our situation.

435
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:24.279
<v Speaker 3>What happens?

436
00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:33.119
<v Speaker 2>Are you thankful? Yes, we are thankful? Why because the

437
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:38.400
<v Speaker 2>dead is now alive. Just put yourself in the position

438
00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:39.960
<v Speaker 2>of the mom What would you feel?

439
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:47.960
<v Speaker 3>And now you're back? Can alam?

440
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Only Jesus can turn our mourning in the dancing. Just

441
00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:57.599
<v Speaker 2>one chapter before Luke six, Jesus I was talking about

442
00:30:57.640 --> 00:30:58.240
<v Speaker 2>this a while ago.

443
00:30:58.279 --> 00:30:59.799
<v Speaker 3>He was at the hill and he.

444
00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Was sharing this abigne, blessed are those who weep, now

445
00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:08.680
<v Speaker 2>for you shall laugh. He was actually proving to the

446
00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:12.759
<v Speaker 2>crowd that was with him that this is what I

447
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:16.000
<v Speaker 2>was saying that if you live your life with me,

448
00:31:16.319 --> 00:31:20.680
<v Speaker 2>I am the one who will make your mourning into dancing.

449
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:25.359
<v Speaker 2>I'll be the one to bring the hopelessness and give

450
00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:27.920
<v Speaker 2>you what hope.

451
00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:30.039
<v Speaker 3>This is the God that we serve.

452
00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:34.000
<v Speaker 2>He's the one who resurrects the dead inner life, and

453
00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:35.599
<v Speaker 2>he's also the one who.

454
00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:38.519
<v Speaker 3>Gives us hope. As you continue.

455
00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Verse sixteen says great fears swept the crowds, and they

456
00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:47.200
<v Speaker 2>praised God, saying a mighty prophet has risen among us,

457
00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:50.039
<v Speaker 2>and God has visited.

458
00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:52.480
<v Speaker 3>His people today. I like the message version.

459
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.119
<v Speaker 2>It says God is back looking at the needs of

460
00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:57.119
<v Speaker 2>his people.

461
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:05.480
<v Speaker 3>Their response was thankfulness to God.

462
00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:10.799
<v Speaker 2>They saw the miracle of resurrection as what as God's work.

463
00:32:11.440 --> 00:32:15.240
<v Speaker 2>They saw the miracle as something that they should celebrate on.

464
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:18.440
<v Speaker 2>They saw the miracle of God as something that is

465
00:32:18.480 --> 00:32:23.519
<v Speaker 2>about his faithfulness to his people. This is the response

466
00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:28.599
<v Speaker 2>of an encounter with God. You know this is sad,

467
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:31.000
<v Speaker 2>but this is true. And I'm gonna say this out

468
00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:36.640
<v Speaker 2>of love. Some of us here in this room have encountered.

469
00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:42.039
<v Speaker 3>Jesus already, but our response is to go back to

470
00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:43.119
<v Speaker 3>the old ways.

471
00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:46.119
<v Speaker 2>Some of us have encountered the goodness of God. Some

472
00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:49.559
<v Speaker 2>of us have been resurrected from a life that is dead,

473
00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:53.240
<v Speaker 2>but our response is to still go back to the

474
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:58.319
<v Speaker 2>old ways that we know. What's a proper response to

475
00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:05.039
<v Speaker 2>give back glory to him Lord. Put yourself in the present,

476
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:06.319
<v Speaker 2>in the shoes of that sun.

477
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:15.720
<v Speaker 3>What would you tell the person who gave who may

478
00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:21.559
<v Speaker 3>gave you life. Most of the time people will say

479
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:26.519
<v Speaker 3>thank you, But for some their responses, I will follow you.

480
00:33:26.920 --> 00:33:28.640
<v Speaker 3>I will do whatever you ask me to do.

481
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:32.599
<v Speaker 2>I will make my life about you. I will devote everything,

482
00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:35.839
<v Speaker 2>I will try to please you. Why because that is

483
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:38.279
<v Speaker 2>a response of being thankful.

484
00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:42.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to end with this. Think about it.

485
00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Out of the many miracles of Jesus, this was very

486
00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:52.519
<v Speaker 2>unique number one because it's the first miracle of resurrection.

487
00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:58.319
<v Speaker 2>And number two. You know why because if you think

488
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:00.400
<v Speaker 2>about it, the mom did that.

489
00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:01.920
<v Speaker 3>Asked Jesus to do the miracle?

490
00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Right?

491
00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:10.239
<v Speaker 2>How about the sun? Did the son ask for the

492
00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:14.360
<v Speaker 2>help of Jesus? Did the crowds ask.

493
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:15.519
<v Speaker 3>For help Jesus by and.

494
00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Who asked.

495
00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:21.400
<v Speaker 3>No one?

496
00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Right?

497
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:29.039
<v Speaker 3>That is what we call the grace and love of God.

498
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:31.719
<v Speaker 2>And that's why I want to leave you with this,

499
00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:39.239
<v Speaker 2>that our encounter with Jesus is an experience of his grace,

500
00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:48.159
<v Speaker 2>the undeserving love of God. We receive even though we

501
00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:52.480
<v Speaker 2>were not asking for it. That's how much the Lord

502
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:56.239
<v Speaker 2>loves us. You know, some of you we feel like

503
00:34:56.440 --> 00:35:01.719
<v Speaker 2>when encounter God Hindigan ito Hindi kona gets getting to Palawan. Yeah,

504
00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:04.079
<v Speaker 2>that it's so much love for us that when I

505
00:35:04.199 --> 00:35:05.480
<v Speaker 2>encountered him, Pano, not.

<v Speaker 3>All your down good news.

508
00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:27.480
<v Speaker 2>can experience his grace in every day of your life.

509
00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:30.920
<v Speaker 2>You can encounter him every day of your life.

510
00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:35.440
<v Speaker 3>The question is are you inviting him the time that

511
00:35:35.519 --> 00:35:38.440
<v Speaker 3>he's been running after you? Are you welcoming him? Are

<v Speaker 3>Has given us a second chance? Amen?

527
00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:50.639
<v Speaker 2>You know, the question is what are we doing about it?

528
00:36:51.719 --> 00:36:54.639
<v Speaker 2>How do we respond in a life that is given

529
00:36:54.639 --> 00:36:57.920
<v Speaker 2>to us? In Greece, this is what happened to the

530
00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:01.760
<v Speaker 2>crowd verse seventeen, and the new about Jesus spread throughout

531
00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:04.199
<v Speaker 2>Judaea and surrounding countryside.

532
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:07.320
<v Speaker 3>It means it did not stop with them.

533
00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:11.119
<v Speaker 2>It means they talked about it. They shared the goodness

534
00:37:11.159 --> 00:37:14.880
<v Speaker 2>of Jesus. Even the crowds witnessed a miracle, and they

535
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:17.119
<v Speaker 2>never stopped talking about it.

536
00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:20.320
<v Speaker 3>Kumala ja. This is a rule.

537
00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:25.280
<v Speaker 2>It's either where the mom that God sees today that

538
00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:29.400
<v Speaker 2>there's that hopelessness, or we're the kid, We're the boy

539
00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:31.960
<v Speaker 2>where the sun who has been raised from the there

540
00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:35.440
<v Speaker 2>or were the crowds that had experienced and seen the

541
00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:37.559
<v Speaker 2>goodness of God and the people around you?

542
00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:39.400
<v Speaker 3>You know the work that we need to do.

543
00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:42.639
<v Speaker 2>Is for us to share the grace of God outside

544
00:37:42.679 --> 00:37:45.559
<v Speaker 2>these four walls. Why and I'm in Angila and a

545
00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:50.639
<v Speaker 2>PAGNAMAI Lord, Zellabus. There's so many people outside these four

546
00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:54.519
<v Speaker 2>walls who need to receive and experience the goodness and

547
00:37:54.599 --> 00:38:01.320
<v Speaker 2>grace of God. How do we respond and in experiencing

548
00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:02.960
<v Speaker 2>the life of chrise?

549
00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:10.519
<v Speaker 3>What's the best movie that you've watched this year? End Game?

550
00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:13.360
<v Speaker 3>This year? By end Game or you? Kay?

551
00:38:13.440 --> 00:38:29.199
<v Speaker 2>Katherine Bernardo? Hello, Love, goodbye Magana? Is it good? Would

552
00:38:29.239 --> 00:38:30.159
<v Speaker 2>you recommend it?

553
00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:32.079
<v Speaker 3>Would you rate it?

554
00:38:32.199 --> 00:38:32.280
<v Speaker 2>What?

555
00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:34.440
<v Speaker 3>One out of five? Six?

556
00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:39.280
<v Speaker 2>Indeed a man five and a half rate it? Hi?

557
00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:41.960
<v Speaker 3>Would you recommend it to your friends? Yes?

558
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:55.599
<v Speaker 2>How would you share it? The ball? Did you know?

559
00:38:55.599 --> 00:38:59.880
<v Speaker 2>It's no different from sharing our encounter with Jesus. So

560
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:03.320
<v Speaker 2>sometimes the world will tell us don't share it, so

561
00:39:03.440 --> 00:39:07.639
<v Speaker 2>being like, oh, you know, life alone. But you know,

562
00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:11.159
<v Speaker 2>sometimes they need to hear the goodness of God because

563
00:39:11.159 --> 00:39:14.400
<v Speaker 2>a movie would excite them, but meeting an encounter in

564
00:39:14.519 --> 00:39:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Jesus would change them. An encounter with Jesus is an

565
00:39:19.559 --> 00:39:23.880
<v Speaker 2>experience of grace. I hope that grace does not stop

566
00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:28.719
<v Speaker 2>with us. It has to overflow and affect the lives

567
00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:33.159
<v Speaker 2>of the people around us. Imagine imagine your lang in

568
00:39:33.199 --> 00:39:37.440
<v Speaker 2>your home that everyone knows the real meaning of grace.

569
00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:50.280
<v Speaker 3>No, Ka, sure, grace.

570
00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Why we are more generous when experience the grace of God.

571
00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:01.079
<v Speaker 2>We are more loving when experienced grace of God. We

572
00:40:01.239 --> 00:40:04.679
<v Speaker 2>are more patient when we experience.

573
00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:05.079
<v Speaker 3>The grace of God.

574
00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:08.320
<v Speaker 2>And this is my prayer for everyone, that all of

575
00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:12.079
<v Speaker 2>you will encounter and experience the grace of God.

576
00:40:12.199 --> 00:40:18.039
<v Speaker 3>Amen. Yeah, let's all stand as we close in prayer. Yeah.

577
00:40:18.719 --> 00:40:21.840
<v Speaker 2>So if curious scaled in a movie, you can ask,

578
00:40:23.159 --> 00:40:32.599
<v Speaker 2>she will recommend. Yeah, all right, we're gonna pray.
