Speaker 1: podcast is spreading you were doing something that the disciples
Speaker 1: have done in the Bible for years and something that
Speaker 1: God has commissioned us to do. You are taking programs
Speaker 1: like this, maybe clips that you see on your social
Speaker 1: media of Jesus and God, and you were sharing it
Speaker 1: to the ends of the earth. That is exactly what
Speaker 1: God told us to do in the Book of Acts
Speaker 1: that share the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

Speaker 1: to do just that in twenty twenty six. Thank you

Speaker 1: doing God's good work. We're going to do some good
Speaker 1: work today. We're going to talk about how Jesus is insulting.
Speaker 1: What I'm going to talk about an article that was
Speaker 1: on MSN dot com. We're going to go over that article.
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about scriptures laced around that article
Speaker 1: as well, and we're going to talk about how Jesus
Speaker 1: yes was meant to be insulting a little bit, how
Speaker 1: we're supposed to stir us up in faith and more. Now,
Speaker 1: this may be your first time listening to us. Maybe
Speaker 1: your non believer, atheist, Maybe you're someone that's of that
Speaker 1: white haired wisdom. You know what I'm talking about, all
Speaker 1: over your face and other parts of the body, We're
Speaker 1: not going to talk about that today, but we have
Speaker 1: a phrase around here for any believer, and that's we
Speaker 1: dare you. We dare you to start your faith, reignite
Speaker 1: your faith, continue your faith with us as we take
Speaker 1: the scriptures from the good old bibl e the Basic
Speaker 1: Constructions before leaving Earth Manual, and wrap them around to
Speaker 1: your life, my life, and the collective world around us
Speaker 1: through testimony, stories, transparency, and hopes of transformation. So let's
Speaker 1: get transformed today on this episode of Let's Get Biblical.
Speaker 1: I was digging on the internet last week and things
Speaker 1: just pop up, as we know, and I have a
Speaker 1: lot of biblical things that pop up, especially when I
Speaker 1: follow websites like MSN dot com. They have some good
Speaker 1: articles from time to time. In this one article popped
Speaker 1: up in the title said Jesus is insulting. Okay, clickbait click.
Speaker 1: I clicked on it, started to read a little bit
Speaker 1: of it, passage here, passage there. I didn't quite read
Speaker 1: it collectively because I want to read it with you guys,
Speaker 1: because I want you to experience with God is showing
Speaker 1: me in my heart at that time about a particular
Speaker 1: maybe writing in that article, and we can share it together.
Speaker 1: There's some great scripture inside this too. But before we
Speaker 1: get started, remember we always got to remember that Jesus
Speaker 1: was a little insulting because he was insulted. There were
Speaker 1: times that he would go into the tabernacle when they
Speaker 1: were trying to collect taxes. And remember the tabernat is
Speaker 1: where they went to worship God. And he came in
Speaker 1: and turned over those titles and those tables and said, listen,
Speaker 1: this is a house of worship. How dare you collect
Speaker 1: money in a house of worship. But Jesus insults us sometimes?
Speaker 1: Or are we egotistical thinking he's insulting us. Either way,
Speaker 1: he's stirring up that fire in your hearts to go
Speaker 1: after him. So let's read a little bit what MSN
Speaker 1: dot com has to say today, but let's go into prayer.
Speaker 1: Dear God, we come to you in the precious name
Speaker 1: of Jesus in the Holy Spirit. We thank you for
Speaker 1: another opportunity to share the Gospel to our family, friends
Speaker 1: and others all over the world. Lord speak to us
Speaker 1: in this article, show us what you want to show us,
Speaker 1: and lead us down the lighted paths. We pray in
Speaker 1: the precious name of Jesus amen, All right, MSN dot
Speaker 1: Com Here we go. Starts off by saying, many years ago,
Speaker 1: when I'd be talking to unbelievers, I'd throw something out
Speaker 1: there and I'd hope that would get them thinking about
Speaker 1: the core of cris Christianity and Jesus. Normally, non Christians
Speaker 1: would stiff arm the faith and they would have a
Speaker 1: bunch of complaints about the church and being hypocritical about
Speaker 1: the Church. Also, they had some intelligent issues about it
Speaker 1: surrounding the belief of God. Now we've heard this before,
Speaker 1: right guys, we'll pause right there. We'll hear people test
Speaker 1: us faith believers with science, theology, and history. We've been
Speaker 1: hearing this for years, nothing new to us, right. Well.
Speaker 1: The article goes on by saying, some of those criticisms,
Speaker 1: as you know, are valid and others are pretty bad.
Speaker 1: But because Christianity founded the rests on a divine person,
Speaker 1: I learned to table those criticisms and ask them a
Speaker 1: simple question to get down to the heart of the matter.
Speaker 1: What don't you like about Jesus. We're going to pause there.
Speaker 1: You may be a non believer, you may be somebody
Speaker 1: just testing the faith. Somebody has stumbled upon this podcast
Speaker 1: and you've been looking for something in your life, and
Speaker 1: you've heard about Jesus. You've read about Jesus. He's a
Speaker 1: historical character, right, No, he's a historical person. There are
Speaker 1: thousands of counts that people have seen Jesus on this planet.
Speaker 1: He was here as a human. He has left us,
Speaker 1: but he is now in spirit. I love Jesus, I
Speaker 1: know what he's done in my life. But there's a
Speaker 1: lot of you that question, just like this, what don't
Speaker 1: I like about Jesus. Well, that's what we're gonna ask today,
Speaker 1: what don't you like about Jesus? In this article? At
Speaker 1: the time, I thought it would be awfully hard for
Speaker 1: someone to rail about a person of Christ. After all,
Speaker 1: when Jesus was allegedly put on trial by his enemies,
Speaker 1: Mark tells us now, the chief priest and the whole
Speaker 1: council kept trying to obtain testimony against Jesus to put
Speaker 1: him there death, and they were not finding anything. That's
Speaker 1: according to Mark, chapter fourteen, verse fifty five. You already
Speaker 1: can see right there. They've been trying to find ways
Speaker 1: to put Jesus down for years. I mean, for instance,
Speaker 1: the resurrection. Some of you don't believe in the resurrection, right. Ah,
Speaker 1: his disciples took them. Ah, the disciples kind of snuck
Speaker 1: them out. Hold on, let's back up. You're to tell
Speaker 1: me the same people that were walking up Gogatha Hill
Speaker 1: as he was getting beat slandered, spit upon carrying a
Speaker 1: huge cross, somebody had to help carry it with him.
Speaker 1: Not even one of his own disciples carried that cross
Speaker 1: with him, by the way, you're to tell me those
Speaker 1: same disciples were to overthrow two Roman trained guards. The
Speaker 1: disciples were cowards, you heard me. The disciples were cowards.
Speaker 1: They had countless chances to overthrow the Roman guards. Roman
Speaker 1: government didn't. They were cowards. They were scared, they were tired,
Speaker 1: they were hungry, they were lonely knowing where Jesus was
Speaker 1: heading on that faithful day. So you're to tell me
Speaker 1: they moved this big old stone, they jumped these two
Speaker 1: Roman guards, and all of a sudden, they moved Jesus's body. Well,
Speaker 1: did you know that those guards the next day saw
Speaker 1: the tomb empty, and they didn't even go to Ponscious Pilot,
Speaker 1: their leader, to tell them what happened. Because what would
Speaker 1: happen to those Roman guards? Guys? When you were a
Speaker 1: Roman guard or a part of the Roman Empire fighting.
Speaker 1: You were on mission daily and if you failed any mission,
Speaker 1: you were reprimanded for that. You got in trouble. Do
Speaker 1: you think these two guys that lost this very important
Speaker 1: figure that was uprising a community, we're gonna just go
Speaker 1: tell their leader. No, they ended up going to the
Speaker 1: Sadducees and Pharisees who wanted Jesus dead, that didn't want
Speaker 1: the story of Jesus out there. So the Sadducees and
Speaker 1: Pharisees paid off these two Roman men. And I would
Speaker 1: love to know where those Roman guys went to this day,
Speaker 1: because we didn't hear from them since then. The Pharisees
Speaker 1: and Sadducees paid them off to create a story saying, oh,
Speaker 1: the disciples came and took them. Really, let's go back
Speaker 1: to what I just stated. Guys, you're to tell me
Speaker 1: the same cowards that didn't do anything as he was
Speaker 1: walking that cross up the hill were to overthrow two
Speaker 1: more Roman guards and move that huge stone and move
Speaker 1: the body and carefully fold his linens and put it
Speaker 1: down on the tomb. Just throwing that out there goes
Speaker 1: into Mark fourteen fifty five. Now, the chief priests and
Speaker 1: the whole council kept trying to obtain testimony against Jesus
Speaker 1: to put him to death, and they were not finding
Speaker 1: any Mark fourteen fifty five. The article goes on and
Speaker 1: says Christ's enemies had literally dodged every step, sent false
Speaker 1: disciples to try to trick him into some verbal gath,
Speaker 1: and yet there was absolutely no dirt they could pull
Speaker 1: up against him. So how could anyone today think anything different?
Speaker 1: Right on a very rare occasions, it says, some more
Speaker 1: learned about the Bible and would raise the complaint about
Speaker 1: Jesus supposedly calling a Cannonite woman a dog Matthew Chapter
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty one through twenty six, or following the atheist
Speaker 1: philosopher Burton Russell in a dinging Jesus because he believed
Speaker 1: in hell. There is one very serious defect on my
Speaker 1: mind in Christ's moral character, and that is that he
Speaker 1: believed in hell. I do not myself feel that any
Speaker 1: person who was really profoundly humane can believe in everlasting punishment.
Speaker 1: This is what the atheist philosopher Bertnand Russell had said. Well,
Speaker 1: what does the article continue to say? But those things aside?
Speaker 1: It was normally hard for a person I was conversing
Speaker 1: with to list out reasons to dislike Jesus, and yet
Speaker 1: most times there was still a firm resistance to him,
Speaker 1: an unwillingness to change their mind about Christianity and sign
Speaker 1: on the bottom line as they speak. While that confused me.
Speaker 1: Back then the writer goes on saying, I get it now.
Speaker 1: When understood and not superficially dismissed, Jesus is quietly and
Speaker 1: indistinctively insulting to everyone not born again. The next topic
Speaker 1: goes on and says, go away Jesus. Tim Keller has
Speaker 1: said that the presentation of the Gospel typically produces one
Speaker 1: of two responsible responses in people. One side says they
Speaker 1: don't need forgiveness where areas? The other side says that's
Speaker 1: too easy, leading him to conclude Grace is insulting. I
Speaker 1: could spend another podcast on Grace alone. I could share
Speaker 1: my testimony. When I first saw Grace save my family
Speaker 1: for the second time, I almost lost my family again.
Speaker 1: I lost a family early on in my life because
Speaker 1: I didn't have Christ in my life. I allowed the
Speaker 1: world to run me. I thought it was all about
Speaker 1: the white picket fence going for the money, not worrying
Speaker 1: about my kids and my family, and doing things that
Speaker 1: made me happy because I was working so hard in
Speaker 1: this worldly affair. I hope that makes sense. We're so
Speaker 1: inabord by the brass ring that is not even there
Speaker 1: in life when we should be going for the crown
Speaker 1: of Christ. Think about that. Stop going for the brass ring,
Speaker 1: and go for the crown of Christ. The article goes
Speaker 1: on by saying one group is offended by Jesus because
Speaker 1: he tells them that they need forgiveness and are thus bad,
Speaker 1: and the other side is upset with Christ because he
Speaker 1: tells them nothing they do is good enough to earn
Speaker 1: favor with God. And that's just for starters. That's according
Speaker 1: to this article. Now, if you're a follower of Christ,
Speaker 1: you're like, ho, hold on, let's back that up, Katie,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to When it comes to forgiveness, all
Speaker 1: we have to do is come to Him and repent.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what you've done. Remember, no sin is
Speaker 1: greater than the other. Yes, you heard me right. A
Speaker 1: murderer in jail that has murdered fifteen people, or even
Speaker 1: your baby is no different than somebody who's has performed adultery.
Speaker 1: Those sins are the same underneath God. But when we
Speaker 1: repent and truly come to God to change our lives,
Speaker 1: he gives that forgiveness. He gives us grace. This is
Speaker 1: why we're able to go out and talk about the Gospel,
Speaker 1: share the love that He's given us when we don't
Speaker 1: deserve it. So right there that article, up to there,
Speaker 1: I can really disprove some of the people that believe
Speaker 1: what this writer was saying. And the reason why people
Speaker 1: don't believe that is because they don't know God, they
Speaker 1: don't know the relationship. They know the Bible. They read
Speaker 1: a book, and they read the book like they read
Speaker 1: any other book. They read it like a historical document.
Speaker 1: Well is it a historical document, absolutely, but it is
Speaker 1: so much more than that. It is that love letter
Speaker 1: to us. And when you break it down word for word,
Speaker 1: phrase for phrase for chapter, paragraph or paragraph, and actually
Speaker 1: read it in the context that God is meant to
Speaker 1: be through divinely written writers, you truly start to see
Speaker 1: what the Gospels all about. You really do. Now, The
Speaker 1: article continues, goes on saying that you're going to see
Speaker 1: things just like this, people question our faith. People are
Speaker 1: going to question everything that they see. Well, what about evolution?
Speaker 1: Well what about a dinosaurs? Dinosaurs are not in the Bible. Yeah,
Speaker 1: actually they are. There's a word called terror in talked
Speaker 1: about a large lizard creature, behemoth. Go look it up.
Speaker 1: Go look up monsters of the Bible. There's actually a
Speaker 1: book talks about these things. The word dinosaur was not
Speaker 1: created until the eighteen hundreds. What about dragons? We see
Speaker 1: pick drawings depictions of dragons all the time. Could they
Speaker 1: be here? Dinosaurs? These are things that are always questioned
Speaker 1: by non believers. Well it's not in the Bible. Well,
Speaker 1: they're not going to put everything in the Bible. Do
Speaker 1: they put everything into a history book about George Washington?
Speaker 1: I want you to think about that. We have history
Speaker 1: books on George Washington crossing the Delaware right, amazing accomplishments
Speaker 1: in American history. But oh, did he go to the bathroom?
Speaker 1: Did he did? He? Did he go on the toilet?
Speaker 1: I don't see us writing about that. I don't think
Speaker 1: he ate. They're not going to write about these things.
Speaker 1: I joke about it because it's silly to think. If
Speaker 1: you're going to compare everything that needs to be in
Speaker 1: the Bible that means they had to write down. Okay,
Speaker 1: today I got up, I had a cup of tar
Speaker 1: in the morning as a dragon flew by my window.
Speaker 1: These are things not what God is telling these writers
Speaker 1: to write, because it's about the love letter from God
Speaker 1: to us on how to achieve in life and beyond.
Speaker 1: A history book doesn't tell us everything either. Think about
Speaker 1: that George Washington did he wipe? I don't know he
Speaker 1: had to. He was human, but I don't know. I
Speaker 1: never seen him do it. Was Jesus alive. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I wasn't there. I never seen him walk the earth.
Speaker 1: But you have accounts that he did. You have accounts
Speaker 1: that he has done miracles. Thousands of people have seen
Speaker 1: him do these miracles. We read about it in the Bible.
Speaker 1: But you a non believer and atheist, somebody that's questioning
Speaker 1: their faith, don't look at it as such. But when
Speaker 1: you open up a history book that talks about d Day,
Speaker 1: talks about the men that were there, share their accounts. Right,
Speaker 1: We see biographies on it all the time that share
Speaker 1: their accounts. We believe that because we see it. Well,
Speaker 1: they have video back then, Okay, they didn't have video.
Speaker 1: They had pen and a paper and they wrote it
Speaker 1: down on a Torah. Then they transcribe the Torah into
Speaker 1: the Bibles we hear today. Well, the Tora is different
Speaker 1: from the Bibles that we read, yes, because words have
Speaker 1: changed over time. I mean, my kids say words like, man,
Speaker 1: that's fire, and I'm like, what I mean fire to
Speaker 1: means means it's hot. That's exactly what they mean. Man,
Speaker 1: that bike is fire. Why don't you just say it's hot?
Speaker 1: But then you could say the word, oh, man, that's hot.
Speaker 1: That's cool. It means it's cool. You want to have it?
Speaker 1: Make up my mind as if fire hot or cold.
Speaker 1: Words change over time, so they're constantly rewriting the Bible.
Speaker 1: But the problem is we need to go back to
Speaker 1: collections in the Bible that were divinely written. Because what
Speaker 1: happens to a story over time, what happens to history
Speaker 1: over time, it gets watered down and it gets away
Speaker 1: from the facts. We as christ followers need to stay
Speaker 1: as close to the Torah as possible. Older Bibles, the
Speaker 1: King James version the NIV is good and that's what
Speaker 1: my church that I go to uses the NIV. But
Speaker 1: when you start getting to some of these other translations,
Speaker 1: it's hard. I mean, there's kids today in this society
Speaker 1: to have their own Bible written. It's cool they understand
Speaker 1: it because of the words that they speak. But as
Speaker 1: long as they're not getting away from the values of
Speaker 1: the Torah and the values of the original written Bible,
Speaker 1: we got to stay as close to that. And the
Speaker 1: reason why I say this today, guys, is the topic
Speaker 1: of our discussion is Jesus is instantulting. Jesus insult he does,
Speaker 1: but he's so much more than that. And although this
Speaker 1: article was clickbait, I kind of tell you, guys to
Speaker 1: go and look up this article and read the rest
Speaker 1: of the article. If you can MSN dot com, go
Speaker 1: look up Jesus is Insulting MSN dot com. It's a
Speaker 1: good finish. It's a really deep read. I don't want
Speaker 1: to go through the whole article because it's really led
Speaker 1: us to what we're discussing today. You see, when you
Speaker 1: have a good teacher, mentor family person that has helped
Speaker 1: raise you, a coach, are they always perfectly good to you, Hey,
Speaker 1: you did a great job, you're awesome, fantastic. Here's your award,
Speaker 1: here's your lollipop. Absolutely not, They shake you up. Sometimes
Speaker 1: they insult you. I have a kid on a basketball
Speaker 1: team right now. That is a pain in the butt.
Speaker 1: That's the best way I can say it. But he's
Speaker 1: a talent. But I have to shake him up and say,
Speaker 1: you've got to stop acting this way because he's not
Speaker 1: used to somebody telling him that. I need to be
Speaker 1: shaken up in my faith every once in a while, saying, hey,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be thinking those thoughts. Those are impure. How
Speaker 1: do you fix that? Okay, I heard you. I need
Speaker 1: to get in the Bible. I need to pray more.
Speaker 1: Lord help me with this. What shall I do? He's
Speaker 1: shaking me up. It's only insulting when it's insulting to you.
Speaker 1: Especially in this world, everybody wants to be right. Everybody
Speaker 1: wants to talk about their side. If the sky is blue,
Speaker 1: someone will say it's red. If you're drinking soup, they say,
Speaker 1: why aren't you using a spoon? There is a constant
Speaker 1: battle for wanting to be right. And the only reason
Speaker 1: I share this with you guys today is because the
Speaker 1: only time something is in is when it actually affects you.
Speaker 1: But sometimes being insulted is meant to stir you up
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what Christ does. Sometimes he stirs you up.
Speaker 1: There's times that disciples had many questions and then He
Speaker 1: would speak to him or them in pariables. Why couldn't
Speaker 1: you just tell me the answer, Jesus, that's what we
Speaker 1: would say. That's what we say today, right. Why must
Speaker 1: you put us through these trials? Why can't you just
Speaker 1: show me what to do? Well? I did, It's in
Speaker 1: the Bible. I have a lighted path before you. It's
Speaker 1: the Bible. Get your nose in it. But because you
Speaker 1: don't guess what, we veer off the path, we fall
Speaker 1: down a hill, we get back up, and then we
Speaker 1: continue to do the same things that we did. We
Speaker 1: don't find an easier path. We don't grab that Bible.
Speaker 1: We don't allow God lead, we don't trust in God,
Speaker 1: we don't give faith to God. We don't allow him
Speaker 1: to insult us. And how dare he he's supposed to
Speaker 1: be a loving God. Well, he's also a fearful God,
Speaker 1: a vengeful God, a powerful God, an empathetic God, and
Speaker 1: a loving God. That kind of sounds like our leaders
Speaker 1: that we have in our lives, our mothers, our fathers,
Speaker 1: our aunts, uncles, our friends, our coaches, our teachers, our mentors.
Speaker 1: They're the same way. If you have somebody that's always
Speaker 1: just telling you good things about you, you're not going
Speaker 1: to really grow because you're going to think you are
Speaker 1: the best thing since slice bread. You won't grow. You'll
Speaker 1: have ego, and ego hardens your heart. Doesn't teaches you
Speaker 1: to be humble, which the first thing to come to
Speaker 1: the Lord is to drop you humility. And when you
Speaker 1: do that things you go from ego to growing. And
Speaker 1: it's an amazing thing to see in my life and
Speaker 1: a lot of lives around us. So again, check out
Speaker 1: this article MSN dot com. Jesus is insulting. It's a
Speaker 1: great read. And as we always do on this show,
Speaker 1: we lay scripture about what we just talked about. We
Speaker 1: lay scripture around what we just talked about. See, I
Speaker 1: stumble right there every week I stumble. Some ofy' all
Speaker 1: are like, yeah, we get it. You get right back
Speaker 1: up right. What does the Bible have to say about
Speaker 1: all this about God or Jesus testing us? The Bible
Speaker 1: teaches that God tests us to strengthen our faith, to
Speaker 1: refine our character. I'm reading a book right now called
Speaker 1: The Disciplines of a godly man talking about how I
Speaker 1: can be more godly in my family, godly for myself,
Speaker 1: and godly in the world. It's an amazing read because
Speaker 1: we're so draped in worldly crap. Sorry I said it, hey, Listen.
Speaker 1: Paul used the word dung for saying the word ish.
Speaker 1: Okay in the Bible, all right, I can, I'll say
Speaker 1: crap all right. The Book of kat even says that
Speaker 1: now reading this book, it talks about how the world
Speaker 1: dumps all this stuff on us, and the reason why
Speaker 1: they do it is because we don't want to. They
Speaker 1: don't want us to find God, they don't want us
Speaker 1: to develop a relationship with him. It's a power that
Speaker 1: is amazing and a power that everybody should have. And
Speaker 1: when you hear the word power, you automatically think superheroes.
Speaker 1: You think Spider Man, Batman, Superman. Listen, it's an inner
Speaker 1: power that will help you advance in this world and
Speaker 1: be prepared for the Kingdom of God that's about to
Speaker 1: come again. God tests us for strengthen our faith and
Speaker 1: refine our character. Now there's some good scriptures on trials
Speaker 1: for your growth. God allows us to test and produce perseverance.
Speaker 1: Check out James chapter one, verses two and three, and
Speaker 1: Romans five three through four. This is fantastic. Also, I
Speaker 1: love Peter. I love reading about Peter the First Peter.
Speaker 1: I just wish some of his writings were a little longer.
Speaker 1: I would love to learn more. But First Peter chapter one,
Speaker 1: verses six through seven is about the purpose of testing us.
Speaker 1: And we'll close today with First Peter. There are so
Speaker 1: many verses based on our trials, why we go through them,
Speaker 1: why God tests us, and also why he may do
Speaker 1: that that's kind of insulting to us. Right, you may
Speaker 1: think you know everything is like, how dare he test
Speaker 1: me on this? Well, thou shall not smite God, first
Speaker 1: and foremost, be careful, and thou shall not question God. Right,
Speaker 1: that's a lie. By the way, you can question God.
Speaker 1: You just can't test God. See I just shook you up.
Speaker 1: You're like, wait a minute. He can test us, he
Speaker 1: can insult us, but we can't do that to him. No,
Speaker 1: because of what he does for us every second of
Speaker 1: the day, all our lives. You need to go to him.
Speaker 1: And that relationship is going to grow as we take
Speaker 1: a look at First Peter chapter six. Here we go
Speaker 1: for all the younger generation Chapter six seven. All Right,
Speaker 1: Chapter six, verse seven states these have come so that
Speaker 1: the proven genuous of your faith, of greater worth than gold,
Speaker 1: which perishes even through refining by fire, may result in praise, glory,
Speaker 1: and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. This emphasizes the
Speaker 1: importance of faith during the trials. Just remember that I
Speaker 1: love the beginning that these have come your problems, your issues,
Speaker 1: your tests, your trials, your insults towards you. The reason
Speaker 1: why these th things come to you is to prove
Speaker 1: your genuineness in faith. And it's a greater work than gold.
Speaker 1: Instead of getting a gold bar, you are getting so
Speaker 1: much worth in the eyes of the Father. And when
Speaker 1: the kingdom comes man, those arms are going to be
Speaker 1: even wider than I can even imagine, because you just
Speaker 1: allowed what happened with that insult, that test in faith
Speaker 1: to grow you. We have to be refined through fire.
Speaker 1: Guess what we're all lumpy, rocky stones. And what happens
Speaker 1: when you refine coal in fire? A diamond is produced
Speaker 1: through pressure and through fire. And this will be the
Speaker 1: glory in the honor given to Christ when he is revealed.
Speaker 1: So don't worry about these insults in life. Don't let
Speaker 1: these these insults get to you. Why Because these insults
Speaker 1: are to test us. They really are, maybe a non believer,
Speaker 1: you're insulted at your job. The insult is to test you.
Speaker 1: Are you going to physically do something to that person.
Speaker 1: Are you going to turn around and kind of take
Speaker 1: what they kind of said, Hey, you're awful at that.
Speaker 1: You need to do better, And are you going to
Speaker 1: do better? Or are you going to take it as
Speaker 1: a personal insult to affect your day, your week, your month,
Speaker 1: maybe your life. Think about it when you're in that
Speaker 1: job today and some insult comes your way and you
Speaker 1: just want to do something of the human physical nature
Speaker 1: against them, Be spiritual, lean on God because that's a
Speaker 1: fire come in your way to make you a diamond
Speaker 1: in that situation. You know what, You're right, I'm going
Speaker 1: to do better. Can you show me how I can
Speaker 1: be better at this wall? What? What that person that
Speaker 1: just said this to you is now in an insulted moment,
Speaker 1: you could say, wait, wait, wait, I insulted them so
Speaker 1: they could get away from me. I don't want to
Speaker 1: work with Wait a minute, maybe they do need my help.
Speaker 1: They need to be refined. Too be refined together. This
Speaker 1: is a deep episode, I know, but when you're tested
Speaker 1: or insulted, lean toward God. Take a moment to pause
Speaker 1: and say what I need to learn here. I need
Speaker 1: to learn patience. I need to learn to work with others.
Speaker 1: I need this right now because if I learned this
Speaker 1: part of my job or my life better, it's going
Speaker 1: to make my relationship better with my wife, my husband,
Speaker 1: my kids, my mother and father in law, the people
Speaker 1: around me. Maybe if it's at a job, it helps
Speaker 1: me get a better position so I can get paid better.
Speaker 1: Then I can sow into the church of my family.
Speaker 1: I don't know that one little change in your faith, though,
Speaker 1: I know that that perseverance that insult is there to
Speaker 1: grow you. Guys, thank you for listening to a very
Speaker 1: deep episode of Let's get Biblical with your boy KD.

Speaker 1: share it on your social media because when you do

Speaker 1: the earth. Thank you, guys for listening. We'll see you
