<v Speaker 1>broad strokes and stories I remember from my grandma telling

00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.759
<v Speaker 1>at him because they got baby blue eyes. Dude, My my,

<v Speaker 1>my husky that I have has baby blue eyes as well.

60
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I mean gray eyes almost looks like the

00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:28.199
<v Speaker 1>Game of Thrones characters. I can't read the White Walkers,

62
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, like her eyes are like gray, dude, but

<v Speaker 1>she is beautiful and yeah and uh yeah I can't.

64
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I can't get mad at her either. It's very hard.

65
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>My other dog, my Shepsky, he's out of control. I

66
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>think I talked about that on the other show. And

67
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I still love him though. He's real, like really good

<v Speaker 1>tempered dog, Like it'll come up to you like he's happy,

69
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:48.599
<v Speaker 1>but when you leave him then he's like, Okay, let

70
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:51.240
<v Speaker 1>me just be a psycho and eat everything. So anyways,

71
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's a it's crazy, but more as a

72
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>as a as a menace to my wife because she

73
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:01.759
<v Speaker 1>has cactus outside and she has a whole bunch of

74
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>stuff and the dog always does crazy stuff to her.

75
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:10.080

108
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:54.720
<v Speaker 1>to be in Mark ten. Okay, so that's gonna be

109
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.959
<v Speaker 1>where we start. Let's go ahead and share. And I

110
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:01.680
<v Speaker 1>got a buttload of energy compared to through Sunday Service,

111
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:04.439
<v Speaker 1>believe me. But I did you know what I mean,

112
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, know what I mean. You know what I

113
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>did though, is I'm covering down because I'm about to

114
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:14.519
<v Speaker 1>become a lead in my job. You know, God is great,

115
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:18.079
<v Speaker 1>Thank you Lord. And that's gonna happen in like June.

116
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.959
<v Speaker 1>So I'm basically I'm in production, which means I'm doing

117
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:26.360
<v Speaker 1>like the mental side. You know, it's kind of it's hard.

118
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.959
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's hard on me mentally, right, So you

119
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.839
<v Speaker 1>gotta you got a lot of stress and and you

120
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:34.600
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of stuff on you. You know, you're

121
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.399
<v Speaker 1>dealing with the system with Skater, with computers, You're you're

122
00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:41.079
<v Speaker 1>walking going to each site, taking residuals, doing volume metrics,

123
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:44.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, and I'm also sometimes covering down, like today,

124
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I did all that and then I had to cover

125
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:48.560
<v Speaker 1>down on the service crew and help them out, you know,

126
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:50.639
<v Speaker 1>because it's a lot of people are out right now.

127
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:54.680
<v Speaker 1>So sometimes that happens, and it makes me very, very

128
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:58.040
<v Speaker 1>tired by the time I get to the podcast, which

129
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.839
<v Speaker 1>is at nine o'clock at night my time, or nine thirty,

130
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:05.519
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes I'm just I'm beat. So today I feel

131
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:08.920
<v Speaker 1>pretty good, so let's get this show on the road.

132
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:15.160
<v Speaker 1>And it also it's it's, you know, the New Testament.

133
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:20.680
<v Speaker 1>That's why I know now, I know why pastors have

134
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:25.480
<v Speaker 1>the Old Testament on Wednesday and the New Testament on Sunday, right,

135
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:29.319
<v Speaker 1>because the New Testament to me, is so much easier

136
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.720
<v Speaker 1>to teach, and it's so much more relatable for us

137
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:36.000
<v Speaker 1>in this in these times. But the Old Testament is

138
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:40.360
<v Speaker 1>the foundation for why we even need Jesus, right, He's

139
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>all over the pages in the Old Testament. So what

140
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:48.279
<v Speaker 1>I would say is, you know, it's I'm gonna honestly

141
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:52.360
<v Speaker 1>admit out loud it's easier and it flows better when

142
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:54.959
<v Speaker 1>I do teach the New Testament, obviously, but you know

143
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:56.720
<v Speaker 1>what you guys could do. You can look forward to

144
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:59.480
<v Speaker 1>next week, right, or you know when I found out

145
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:02.680
<v Speaker 1>when I do some service, get that meat and potatoes

146
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.439
<v Speaker 1>and then boom, we get meet potatoes on Wednesday with

147
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Wednesday service. So what a blessing it is. So let's

148
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:12.839
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and get dig into the Bible. Now Mark

149
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:18.399
<v Speaker 1>ten verse one. Marriage and divorce is the subject, okay,

150
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:21.000
<v Speaker 1>So I'm going to kind of go over a few

151
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:28.079
<v Speaker 1>things after we do this. So then he arose, This

152
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:30.720
<v Speaker 1>is going to be Mark ten verse one. Then he

153
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.360
<v Speaker 1>arose from there and came to the region of Judea,

154
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:36.440
<v Speaker 1>by the other side of the Jordan, and multitudes gathered

155
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:40.799
<v Speaker 1>to him again, and he was accustomed. He taught them again.

156
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:44.919
<v Speaker 1>The Pharisees came and asked him, is it lawful for

157
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:49.080
<v Speaker 1>a man to divorce his wife? Testing him? And he

158
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.480
<v Speaker 1>answered and said to them, what did Moses command you?

159
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:55.159
<v Speaker 1>They said, Moses permitted a man to write a certificate

160
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:59.360
<v Speaker 1>of divorce to dismiss her. And Jesus answered and said

161
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:02.600
<v Speaker 1>to them, because the hardness of your heart, he wrote

162
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:06.519
<v Speaker 1>you this precept. But from the beginning of creation, God

163
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:10.120
<v Speaker 1>made them male and female. For this reason, a man

164
00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:14.879
<v Speaker 1>shall leave his father and mother and be joined to

165
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:19.360
<v Speaker 1>his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So

166
00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:23.360
<v Speaker 1>then they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore,

167
00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:30.279
<v Speaker 1>what God has joined together, let not man separate in

168
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.440
<v Speaker 1>the house his disciple. Okay, here we go. We'll stop

169
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.080
<v Speaker 1>right there. Okay, we're gonna stop at verse six, and

170
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:42.240
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna see what's going on. You know. So some

171
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:45.600
<v Speaker 1>rabbi said you could divorce for bizarre reasons. Now I'm

172
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:49.039
<v Speaker 1>going to my notes now, okay, I'm stopping the uh,

173
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:56.799
<v Speaker 1>the scripture. So some rabbis said you could divorce for

174
00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:59.679
<v Speaker 1>bizarre reasons like burning your dinner, like if a woman

175
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:02.480
<v Speaker 1>burned your dinner, not looking as attractive as when they

176
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:06.519
<v Speaker 1>first when you first met. Some said you have to

177
00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:10.399
<v Speaker 1>definitely divorce or some some said some said that you

178
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:16.440
<v Speaker 1>have to have infidelity to divorce. All that was about, uh,

179
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, interpretation of this word in Deuteronomy twenty four

180
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:25.759
<v Speaker 1>one through five, the word is indecent. Okay, so some

181
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:30.799
<v Speaker 1>rabbis took that word indecent and made it there. They

182
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:34.320
<v Speaker 1>put their own twist on it? Right, which happens? Right?

183
00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:38.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's some people that take scriptures and they

184
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:42.240
<v Speaker 1>create their own doctrine one scripture or one verse, you know.

185
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:45.879
<v Speaker 1>So let's check what this is. This is a Deuteronomy

186
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:49.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty four versus one through five. This is what Moses

187
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:55.000
<v Speaker 1>said about marriage. That way you could see. So what

188
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:59.159
<v Speaker 1>did Moses command you? Right? If a man marries a

189
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.200
<v Speaker 1>woman who becomes displeasing, this is Deuteronomy twenty four verses

190
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:04.799
<v Speaker 1>one through five. If a man marries a woman who

191
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:09.279
<v Speaker 1>becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her,

192
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:12.120
<v Speaker 1>and he writes her, and he writes her a certificate

193
00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>of divorce, gives it to her, and sends her from

194
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.320
<v Speaker 1>his house. And after she leaves his house, she becomes

195
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:21.759
<v Speaker 1>the wife of another man, and her second husband dislikes

196
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:23.639
<v Speaker 1>her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it

197
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.440
<v Speaker 1>to her and sends her from his house. Or if

198
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:30.799
<v Speaker 1>he dies, then her first husband, who divorced her is

199
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:34.279
<v Speaker 1>not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled.

200
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:37.080
<v Speaker 1>That would be detestable in the eyes of the Lord.

201
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Do not bring sin upon the land. The Lord, your

202
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.200
<v Speaker 1>God is giving you as an inheritance. If a man

203
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:47.039
<v Speaker 1>has recently married, he must be sent to war or

204
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:50.080
<v Speaker 1>have any other duty laid on him for one year.

205
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.960
<v Speaker 1>He is to be free to stay at home and

206
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:58.320
<v Speaker 1>bring happiness to the wife he has married. Let's look

207
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.240
<v Speaker 1>up that word indecent, and I want to see what

208
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.200
<v Speaker 1>it says in the strongest concordance and find out what

209
00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:10.799
<v Speaker 1>that word actually means. Does it mean something like infidelity

210
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:15.440
<v Speaker 1>or adultery or what does it mean in the strongest concordance.

211
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Not saying that the strongest concordance is going to be

212
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:21.000
<v Speaker 1>one million percent correct, but we do like to look

213
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:24.159
<v Speaker 1>at it to see what it says. And that's going

214
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:33.559
<v Speaker 1>to be Deuteronomy. Something indecent. Oh well, and decent is

215
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:37.960
<v Speaker 1>what we have. Let me look in. Decent is what

216
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:41.360
<v Speaker 1>we have in the new King James. When he has

217
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:44.799
<v Speaker 1>taken a man a wife and married her, and it

218
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:48.639
<v Speaker 1>came to pass that no, she found favor in his

219
00:12:48.879 --> 00:13:00.360
<v Speaker 1>eyes because he had uncleanliness. Okay, okay, so excuse me, ah,

220
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:05.639
<v Speaker 1>excuse me, still getting over that cold from last week. Okay,

221
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:11.480
<v Speaker 1>So it's hard for me to look this up because

222
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:17.399
<v Speaker 1>they changed it. When a man hath married taken a woman,

223
00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:20.759
<v Speaker 1>and it came to pass that she found no favor

224
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:24.679
<v Speaker 1>in his eyes because he has found some uncleanliness. That's

225
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.759
<v Speaker 1>the word. Sorry, I appreciate, I mean, I apologize. That's

226
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:36.399
<v Speaker 1>the word I'm looking for, not favor. Okay. It says nakedness, nudity, shame, pouenda,

227
00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:40.679
<v Speaker 1>poenda implying shameful exposure, nakedness of a thing in decency,

228
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:50.360
<v Speaker 1>improper behavior, expose, undefended. Okay, So that is the word nakedness. Oh,

229
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:53.240
<v Speaker 1>it's the same as him the father of Canaan saw

230
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:57.799
<v Speaker 1>the nakedness of his father. Oh that's what it was, Okay,

231
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:00.799
<v Speaker 1>something that's in decent and it is a thing in

232
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:05.879
<v Speaker 1>decency and proper behavior. So it doesn't have to do

233
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:09.919
<v Speaker 1>with her cooking em dinner wrong. It doesn't have to do,

234
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:15.039
<v Speaker 1>according to the strong, coordinates with him being you know,

235
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:17.799
<v Speaker 1>thinking that she doesn't look the same as when he

236
00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:21.080
<v Speaker 1>first met her, or she's she's kind of being naggy.

237
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:24.600
<v Speaker 1>That's not what it means. It means infidelity, according to

238
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:31.440
<v Speaker 1>the strong accordance, and probably according to some of these

239
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.799
<v Speaker 1>lexicons too. I'd have to check, but yeah, uncleanliness is

240
00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the word that's used. So that doesn't mean uncleanliness like, hey,

241
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:43.519
<v Speaker 1>she doesn't clean the dishes, Okay, it means that she

242
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:47.240
<v Speaker 1>was defiled like infidelity. That's that's more what it means.

243
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:52.039
<v Speaker 1>So if so, even back then, it's even saying that

244
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:55.679
<v Speaker 1>in Deuteronomy twenty four, verses one through five. Right, So

245
00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:58.919
<v Speaker 1>what I say is like when God says this, this

246
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:03.679
<v Speaker 1>is what's something that passed passor Raoul Reese used to

247
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:06.279
<v Speaker 1>say at Calvary Chapel Golden Springs when I went there,

248
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:09.519
<v Speaker 1>he says, when you get married, you're like two boards

249
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.320
<v Speaker 1>that get glued together, right, you're glued together, not now

250
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:18.600
<v Speaker 1>you become one and when you divorce, you pull those

251
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:23.120
<v Speaker 1>pieces of wood apart and they splinter. Now you can't

252
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:25.799
<v Speaker 1>put those back together. Right. So when you try to

253
00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:28.799
<v Speaker 1>take that man and he divorces that woman, the one

254
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:31.120
<v Speaker 1>that he was one with at once, and then you

255
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:34.279
<v Speaker 1>try to glue to another piece of wood, it doesn't

256
00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:38.360
<v Speaker 1>go the same. It's not going to be flush like

257
00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:40.399
<v Speaker 1>you were with that woman that you became one with,

258
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:44.720
<v Speaker 1>you see what I mean. And then it splinters off

259
00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:49.840
<v Speaker 1>the family and causes massive issues with the kids. It

260
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:54.519
<v Speaker 1>causes massive issue with you because you divorce your wife.

261
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:57.279
<v Speaker 1>What happens now you only get the kids on the weekend,

262
00:15:57.720 --> 00:15:59.879
<v Speaker 1>or she gets a kid on the weekend. Now you go,

263
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:02.720
<v Speaker 1>You're fighting with this woman the rest of your life.

264
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:04.919
<v Speaker 1>She's still involved in your life for the rest of

265
00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:07.320
<v Speaker 1>your life because you both have kids together. Even though

266
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:10.200
<v Speaker 1>you're not together anymore, You're gonna be seeing her with

267
00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:14.039
<v Speaker 1>another man. You're probably gonna be feeling some type of

268
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.440
<v Speaker 1>way about that, probably be arguing with her, arguing with

269
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:20.679
<v Speaker 1>her new man. And then you got this new man

270
00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:23.879
<v Speaker 1>taking care of your kids. Do you see why this

271
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:28.559
<v Speaker 1>could be a problem. And if you are divorced, I'm

272
00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:33.039
<v Speaker 1>not judging you. What I'm doing is my job is

273
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:37.720
<v Speaker 1>to teach and then preach. So I'm teaching the scriptures

274
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:41.159
<v Speaker 1>of what Jesus is saying, and I'm trying to preach to,

275
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:43.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, the ones that are maybe not married yet,

276
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:47.240
<v Speaker 1>maybe they haven't gotten married yet, maybe they haven't met

277
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:51.240
<v Speaker 1>that one, you know. But but it's it's you know,

278
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:53.440
<v Speaker 1>it's a lot. And if you have been divorced, you

279
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:55.840
<v Speaker 1>can understand what I'm saying, and you understand why Jesus

280
00:16:55.840 --> 00:17:02.559
<v Speaker 1>would say this because it causes so much. Now, if

281
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:06.079
<v Speaker 1>you're being abused in a relationship if somebody is going

282
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:08.079
<v Speaker 1>out on you and keeps going out on you, going

283
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:12.519
<v Speaker 1>out on you. And I'm completely understanding all this, but

284
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:17.799
<v Speaker 1>it's my job to read the scripture and try to

285
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:21.039
<v Speaker 1>interpret what Jesus is trying to say right here to

286
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:26.799
<v Speaker 1>these Pharisees, because it doesn't matter what Moses says. I mean,

287
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:31.599
<v Speaker 1>it matters, but who does it matter most what God says?

288
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Now God is speaking through Moses, yes, but who does

289
00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:39.720
<v Speaker 1>it really matter? It matters what God says. And when

290
00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:43.480
<v Speaker 1>it talks about creation right here where it says God

291
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:45.799
<v Speaker 1>made male and female for this reason, a man shall

292
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:47.799
<v Speaker 1>leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,

293
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:50.799
<v Speaker 1>and the two shall become one flesh. This is God

294
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:54.000
<v Speaker 1>speaking because this is a first hand count from the

295
00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:58.839
<v Speaker 1>most time. And this is also Jesus speaking God in

296
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:04.359
<v Speaker 1>the flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let not

297
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:11.720
<v Speaker 1>man separate, or you could say, no man separate. So yeah,

298
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:14.279
<v Speaker 1>so I understand though when people get a divorce, and

299
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:16.799
<v Speaker 1>my parents got a divorce and it ruined me because

300
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:21.160
<v Speaker 1>you know it just you get this metal block at

301
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:24.359
<v Speaker 1>the age of fourteen, and it just maybe go sideways

302
00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:27.759
<v Speaker 1>smoking weed part. I went from a sports star to

303
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:32.359
<v Speaker 1>smoking weed, rapping, going to clubs, doing coke, doing this,

304
00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:35.880
<v Speaker 1>and just going crazy for a long time. And it

305
00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:37.880
<v Speaker 1>was hard to get my life back on track. And

306
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:40.039
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get my life back on track. Believe me,

307
00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:44.400
<v Speaker 1>God got my life back on track. Okay, So I

308
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:48.799
<v Speaker 1>want to go over like some statistics. Okay, about divorce.

309
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:55.759
<v Speaker 1>It's very important. So marriage vows are as long as

310
00:18:55.799 --> 00:19:01.519
<v Speaker 1>we both shall live till death do us art. We

311
00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:05.000
<v Speaker 1>ain't going to separate unless we die. I just wanted

312
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:07.000
<v Speaker 1>to point that out. But in the United States in

313
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:14.839
<v Speaker 1>nineteen ten, the divorce rate was ten percent. Why Well,

314
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:18.960
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen ten, the Bible was being taught in schools.

315
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:24.599
<v Speaker 1>The Bible was being taught. The government was probably still

316
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:29.039
<v Speaker 1>very corrupt, but they weren't pushing to get Bibles out

317
00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:31.759
<v Speaker 1>of school. There wasn't a bunch of people, you know,

318
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:35.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, did I live in nineteen ten, No, But

319
00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:39.279
<v Speaker 1>I know that there was more. The scriptures were way

320
00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:44.960
<v Speaker 1>more prevalent. Okay, they were not being pushed out of schools, right,

321
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:50.799
<v Speaker 1>That's just an example. In nineteen forty eight, the divorce

322
00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:55.920
<v Speaker 1>rate was about twenty five percent. Nineteen ten, it was

323
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:04.400
<v Speaker 1>ten percent nineteen forty eight, twenty five percent jumped up. Okay,

324
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:10.480
<v Speaker 1>and then statistics in twenty twenty two, fifty percent of

325
00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:15.839
<v Speaker 1>married couple's divorce the sixth highest divorce rate in the world.

326
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Subsequent marriages have even higher divorce rate. Sixty percent of

327
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:25.599
<v Speaker 1>second marriages and in divorce and seventy three percent of

328
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:29.240
<v Speaker 1>third marriages end up in divorce. You would think that

329
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:35.519
<v Speaker 1>three times as a charm. It's not how that sounds like? Geez.

330
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:40.799
<v Speaker 1>So what I want to tell you guys, Okay, that's

331
00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:43.799
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two. There's probably more recent things, but you know,

332
00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:48.920
<v Speaker 1>I pulled up some notes. Okay, So my point is

333
00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:56.799
<v Speaker 1>what is happening. Well, there's a few things that happen.

334
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.759
<v Speaker 1>If you notice, in nineteen forty eight, there was no Instagram,

335
00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:09.359
<v Speaker 1>there was no Facebook, no TikTok, no internet. So what

336
00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:13.759
<v Speaker 1>are some of these things that are causing divorces? You know, Well,

337
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:22.480
<v Speaker 1>they created Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, all these different apps. They

338
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:26.799
<v Speaker 1>created the World Wide Web in between that time. Now

339
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:31.599
<v Speaker 1>people can talk to someone in Spain, Germany wherever. I

340
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:34.359
<v Speaker 1>mean I could zoom like right now, I mean I

341
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:39.599
<v Speaker 1>could zoom somebody like I do on my show in Bangladesh. Whatever,

342
00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:41.400
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't matter. You can talk to anybody you know.

343
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:51.039
<v Speaker 1>So it's one thing. Obviously, pornography is a major problem.

344
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Even in Christian men. It is a major problem. So

345
00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:56.559
<v Speaker 1>we have that going on. You got people going to

346
00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:02.039
<v Speaker 1>the gym in fidelity, you got people even in churches sometimes.

347
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you work with people, and you know, the

348
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:08.759
<v Speaker 1>best thing you could do if you are if you're

349
00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:10.519
<v Speaker 1>a If let's say you're a Christian and you and

350
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:13.640
<v Speaker 1>you like to work out of the gym, clear out

351
00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:16.759
<v Speaker 1>your garage and build a gym in your garage, you

352
00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:20.160
<v Speaker 1>will have no temptation. All you'll be staring at is

353
00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:28.400
<v Speaker 1>your own arms. I have laugh at my own jokes.

354
00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:30.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm by myself, right, It's just funny. My wife laughs

355
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:34.599
<v Speaker 1>at me because I tell her that, yeah, you have

356
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:38.000
<v Speaker 1>nothing to look at, but you're what you're ugly not

357
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:40.079
<v Speaker 1>seeing you guys are ugly, but you know my ugly face.

358
00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:42.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm just sitting there lifting weights the whole time. And

359
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:45.759
<v Speaker 1>and then you listen to pastors preach you got no temptation.

360
00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:50.279
<v Speaker 1>The Devil's like, dang it, I can't send any woman

361
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:53.359
<v Speaker 1>in there besides his wife. Yeah, that's exactly what you're

362
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:56.480
<v Speaker 1>supposed to do. So if you work out and you're

363
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:00.359
<v Speaker 1>having a problem at the gym, LOOKI lou, Oh, what

364
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.440
<v Speaker 1>do you do? Spend one thousand dollars and get a

365
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:06.559
<v Speaker 1>Marcie Diamond Elite. It's got all the cables and everything

366
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:11.160
<v Speaker 1>you can do squats. It costs one thousand dollars. Would

367
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:14.240
<v Speaker 1>you pay a thousand dollars to save your relationship? I would?

368
00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:17.680
<v Speaker 1>You see what I mean? So, I just think it's

369
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:29.920
<v Speaker 1>vastly important for us to know our weaknesses. Okay, And

370
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:34.160
<v Speaker 1>if you have an issue with flirting with women, talking

371
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:37.519
<v Speaker 1>to women, or talking to men, flirting with men, you

372
00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:42.160
<v Speaker 1>have to stop because what you're doing is you're giving

373
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:44.960
<v Speaker 1>the devil a little wedge and he's just hitting it

374
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:47.880
<v Speaker 1>further and further in. When you give him a little wedge,

375
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:50.480
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna hit that thing in between your relationship and

376
00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:53.920
<v Speaker 1>cause a wedge between you and your spouse. And if

377
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:56.279
<v Speaker 1>he can hit that wedgend far enough and you keep

378
00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:58.759
<v Speaker 1>doing these little things, what's gonna happen is those little

379
00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:02.000
<v Speaker 1>things turn into something and then you start messing up

380
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:06.480
<v Speaker 1>on your spouse. And that's why you see divorce rates.

381
00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:21.359
<v Speaker 2>So high. Okay, Okay, this is called the.

382
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:28.119
<v Speaker 1>Clause the oh okay, I think yeah, Matthew nineteen verses

383
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:31.279
<v Speaker 1>three through twelve. I can also read that that is

384
00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:34.480
<v Speaker 1>actually going through the same part. Maybe with a little

385
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:38.079
<v Speaker 1>more detail, we could see. Let's see. So I'm gonna

386
00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:41.920
<v Speaker 1>read Matthew nineteen verses three through twelve real quick. It

387
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:46.240
<v Speaker 1>says the Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him and saying,

388
00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:49.000
<v Speaker 1>unto him, it is lawful? Is it lawful for a

389
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:52.359
<v Speaker 1>man to put away his wife? For every cause? And

390
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:54.720
<v Speaker 1>he answered and said, unto them, have you not read?

391
00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:58.039
<v Speaker 1>Have you not made them at the beginning? Made male

392
00:24:58.079 --> 00:25:00.119
<v Speaker 1>and female? And said, for this cause shall a man

393
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:02.480
<v Speaker 1>leave a father and mother? And she cleaved to his wife?

394
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:06.359
<v Speaker 1>Or for no more twain but one flesh? What more

395
00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:11.079
<v Speaker 1>God hath joined to lot, not let man put us under? Okay,

396
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:13.480
<v Speaker 1>so it's kind of pretty similar to what Mark says,

397
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:17.039
<v Speaker 1>so I really don't need to read that part. So

398
00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:21.960
<v Speaker 1>what is sexual immorality in Greek? It's actually poor nia,

399
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:26.079
<v Speaker 1>it's the it's the it's where we get the word pornography. Okay, So,

400
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:29.440
<v Speaker 1>so sexual immorality is something that we need to stay

401
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:32.960
<v Speaker 1>away from. And also males. If you're in the military

402
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:35.000
<v Speaker 1>like I was, and you think that when you go

403
00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:38.839
<v Speaker 1>overseas and that you're depending on pornography or you're depending

404
00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:41.519
<v Speaker 1>on that, and you think that that's not cheating, well

405
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:45.000
<v Speaker 1>that is cheating. Okay, that is cheating. Even Jesus says,

406
00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:47.759
<v Speaker 1>if you think about another woman, then you have committed

407
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:51.279
<v Speaker 1>adult treat. So understand that. Because when I was deployed,

408
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:54.720
<v Speaker 1>like in twenty sixteen, and that is two thousand and

409
00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:58.359
<v Speaker 1>twenty five. Now that was nine years ago, twenty fifteen,

410
00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:01.680
<v Speaker 1>so ten years ago. When I was deployed, I my

411
00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:06.279
<v Speaker 1>mind was not right. It was not right, okay, And

412
00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:09.079
<v Speaker 1>uh yeah, when what I wanted to bring up you know,

413
00:26:09.079 --> 00:26:10.640
<v Speaker 1>I think I already brought this up. Yeah I did

414
00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:12.359
<v Speaker 1>bring that part up. I don't need really go over that.

415
00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:15.759
<v Speaker 1>But let me ask you guys this, what should a

416
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:19.039
<v Speaker 1>biblical marriage look like? Okay, what should it look like?

417
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:26.880
<v Speaker 1>We get it right here in a Seasions five twenty

418
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:33.359
<v Speaker 1>one through thirty three. And I also want to go

419
00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:44.799
<v Speaker 1>over something else really quick, hold on, uh one Crinthians

420
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:52.000
<v Speaker 1>thirteen four. Sorry, I just wanted to make sure I

421
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:56.599
<v Speaker 1>pulled this up and uh one Corinthians thirteen, verse four,

422
00:26:58.839 --> 00:27:05.160
<v Speaker 1>definitely a good verse. So what should a Christian marriage

423
00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:09.880
<v Speaker 1>look like? Well, it it happened to be. Paul writes

424
00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:15.200
<v Speaker 1>this in Ephesians five. My phone is so funny. Okay,

425
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:21.359
<v Speaker 1>it's Ephesians five twenty one through thirty three. Okay, I

426
00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:23.759
<v Speaker 1>have it written in my notes in the NIV, but

427
00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:26.440
<v Speaker 1>I usually like to go to the King James, but NIV. Hey,

428
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:30.079
<v Speaker 1>let's just do it. The new King James what I

429
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:31.880
<v Speaker 1>normally read to you guys out of so this is

430
00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the NIV. So if it's different than what you're reading

431
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:36.640
<v Speaker 1>your New King James, just you know, just give me

432
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:40.319
<v Speaker 1>some slack because I copy and pasted these pretty fairly quickly.

433
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Okay,

434
00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:50.799
<v Speaker 1>submit to one another? Okay, why submit yourselves to your

435
00:27:50.839 --> 00:27:55.920
<v Speaker 1>own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the

436
00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:59.920
<v Speaker 1>husbands is the head of the wife, as Christ is

437
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:03.119
<v Speaker 1>the head of the Church, his body of which he

438
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:11.359
<v Speaker 1>is the savior. So wife, submit to your husband's Okay. Yeah,

439
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:15.720
<v Speaker 1>that sounds real easy. But when you have a husband

440
00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:20.599
<v Speaker 1>that's not loving you like Christ love the Church, then

441
00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:24.079
<v Speaker 1>it's not easy to submit. But see, we gotta both.

442
00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:27.400
<v Speaker 1>It takes two to tango. If you want your wife

443
00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:35.839
<v Speaker 1>to submit to you, you have to love her, and

444
00:28:35.880 --> 00:28:39.759
<v Speaker 1>you also have to be the head of the home. Okay,

445
00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the spiritual leader of the home, the one that's saying, Hey,

446
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.720
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna go to church, or we're gonna do Bible study,

447
00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:53.160
<v Speaker 1>or we're gonna listen to the church. Whatever you can do. Whatever.

448
00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:55.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how it works into your home, but

449
00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:59.680
<v Speaker 1>whatever you could do right for the husband is the

450
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:02.319
<v Speaker 1>head of the wife, as Christ is the head of

451
00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:05.319
<v Speaker 1>the church, his body of which he is the Savior.

452
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives

453
00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:16.480
<v Speaker 1>should submit to their husbands and everything. Husbands love your wives,

454
00:29:16.599 --> 00:29:28.319
<v Speaker 1>now listen. If you love your wife, truly love your wife,

455
00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:33.920
<v Speaker 1>then then it's it's a lot easier. Now, let me

456
00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:37.079
<v Speaker 1>tell you guys that are young before I get into this. See,

457
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:41.960
<v Speaker 1>if you know all this information going into a marriage,

458
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:44.680
<v Speaker 1>you're not gonna have all these things in your past

459
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:49.359
<v Speaker 1>that causes issues that come up because you're gonna already

460
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:53.400
<v Speaker 1>be smart and intelligent and you're gonna handle your marriage

461
00:29:53.799 --> 00:29:56.279
<v Speaker 1>in a loving way, and you're gonna handle it and

462
00:29:56.359 --> 00:29:58.359
<v Speaker 1>love your wife like Christ love the Church. If you

463
00:29:58.400 --> 00:30:00.799
<v Speaker 1>know all these verses in your and your saved before

464
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:03.519
<v Speaker 1>you get married, then you're gonna know how to treat

465
00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:06.880
<v Speaker 1>your woman, and then it's gonna be easier for her

466
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:09.519
<v Speaker 1>to submit. But when you have all these things in

467
00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:11.720
<v Speaker 1>your past where you did all these things that were

468
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:14.359
<v Speaker 1>rotten and bad to each other, and you've been through

469
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:16.519
<v Speaker 1>all these things like me and my wife have been through,

470
00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:20.119
<v Speaker 1>and probably you guys have been through, and you see,

471
00:30:20.200 --> 00:30:22.599
<v Speaker 1>it's a little harder for her to trust you as

472
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:24.960
<v Speaker 1>a spiritual leader because look at all the things you

473
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:27.559
<v Speaker 1>did in the past. See, everybody that I teach to

474
00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:30.000
<v Speaker 1>has never seen my past, but oh I do. I'm

475
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:32.440
<v Speaker 1>honest and upfront about it. But my wife, she's been

476
00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:36.240
<v Speaker 1>with me for almost seventeen years. She's seen everything from

477
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:40.319
<v Speaker 1>the good, from the bad to the good. And now

478
00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:43.759
<v Speaker 1>obviously she's way happier with me. She loves everything right now.

479
00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:49.680
<v Speaker 1>But what I would say is, when Paul is talking here,

480
00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:54.559
<v Speaker 1>he's this is not impossible. These are not impossible tasks.

481
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:58.160
<v Speaker 1>This is what Christians, this is how a Christian marriage

482
00:30:58.160 --> 00:31:03.519
<v Speaker 1>should look. Let's continue. Just as Christ loved the church

483
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:06.680
<v Speaker 1>and gave himself up for her to make her holy

484
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:10.559
<v Speaker 1>what did he do? He died on the cross for

485
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:14.319
<v Speaker 1>us to make us holy. I say that all the

486
00:31:14.359 --> 00:31:16.920
<v Speaker 1>time with the Book of Leviticus, it's all about being

487
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:20.400
<v Speaker 1>set apart to make you holy. Jesus died on the

488
00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:23.480
<v Speaker 1>cross to make us holy. That's how much he loves us.

489
00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Are you willing to put your life on the line

490
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:28.960
<v Speaker 1>for your wife? Now? I'm willing to put my life

491
00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:30.799
<v Speaker 1>on the line for this country. I was in the

492
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:33.559
<v Speaker 1>United States military, all right. I was in the army.

493
00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Am I willing to put my yes right now? Yes?

494
00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:42.599
<v Speaker 1>And every time your wife gives birth for you, she's

495
00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:49.279
<v Speaker 1>putting her life on the line every time because she

496
00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:52.519
<v Speaker 1>loves that child like Christ loves the church. We gotta

497
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:58.599
<v Speaker 1>love each other like Christ loved the church. Okay, cleansing

498
00:31:58.640 --> 00:32:01.759
<v Speaker 1>her by the washing with water through the word, that's

499
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:05.599
<v Speaker 1>what you need to do. And to present her to

500
00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:10.319
<v Speaker 1>himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or

501
00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:14.880
<v Speaker 1>any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way,

502
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:20.200
<v Speaker 1>husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. Okay,

503
00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:23.279
<v Speaker 1>we sit there, we work out, we do this. We

504
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:26.519
<v Speaker 1>oh man, we freaking cut our nails, we get our haircut.

505
00:32:26.559 --> 00:32:29.599
<v Speaker 1>We shave our beard. We try to look all good. Right.

506
00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Love your wife like you love your own body. He

507
00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:42.640
<v Speaker 1>who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one

508
00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:45.680
<v Speaker 1>ever hated their own body. But they feed and care

509
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:49.240
<v Speaker 1>for their body as Christ does for the Church, for

510
00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:53.200
<v Speaker 1>we are members of his body. For this reason, a

511
00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:56.400
<v Speaker 1>man will leave his father and mother and be united

512
00:32:56.400 --> 00:32:59.359
<v Speaker 1>to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.

513
00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Even Paul's talking about it here, this is a profound mystery.

514
00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:06.359
<v Speaker 1>But I am talking about Christ and the Church. However,

515
00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:09.799
<v Speaker 1>each one of you also must love his wife as

516
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:13.640
<v Speaker 1>he loves himself, and wife must respect her husband. So

517
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:16.680
<v Speaker 1>what he's telling you here is he's us like he's

518
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:19.559
<v Speaker 1>using like a metaphor for marriage, and like how Christ

519
00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:21.359
<v Speaker 1>love the Church. He's putting both of those in together,

520
00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:24.519
<v Speaker 1>which he's so gracefully speaking, and it's amazing. But I

521
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:29.680
<v Speaker 1>just want to tell you guys that, Okay, So that's

522
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:37.400
<v Speaker 1>that's my little section on marriage. Hopefully enjoyed it. And

523
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:39.519
<v Speaker 1>for all my military people that are listening, I don't

524
00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:43.839
<v Speaker 1>know if there's anybody that's military. If you are, shout

525
00:33:43.880 --> 00:33:47.519
<v Speaker 1>it out in the Spotify comments and say, hey brother,

526
00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm a veteran or whatever dot around the Spotify comments

527
00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:57.599
<v Speaker 1>or dm me on Instagram. But the Spotify comments is

528
00:33:57.680 --> 00:33:59.319
<v Speaker 1>good because I see him, I could shout it out

529
00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:01.359
<v Speaker 1>and you can hear me kind of shout you out

530
00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:06.440
<v Speaker 1>on here. Let's continue, Mark ten. Ten. In the house,

531
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:09.880
<v Speaker 1>his disciples also asked him again about the same matter.

532
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:13.559
<v Speaker 1>So he said to them, whoever divorces his wife and

533
00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:16.559
<v Speaker 1>marries another, commits adultery against her. And if a woman

534
00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:22.440
<v Speaker 1>divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery. So

535
00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:27.960
<v Speaker 1>they're Jews, right, they're Jewish. So the disciples are like,

536
00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:32.239
<v Speaker 1>what do you mean, Like, what did Moses command you?

537
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:35.719
<v Speaker 1>That's what we're supposed to follow the law, right. Jesus

538
00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:42.599
<v Speaker 1>is like, listen, let me tell you what's really going on. Right, Okay,

539
00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:47.639
<v Speaker 1>let's continue, Mark ten, Verse thirteen. Jesus blesses little children.

540
00:34:48.679 --> 00:34:52.119
<v Speaker 1>Then they brought little children to him that he might

541
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:56.320
<v Speaker 1>touch them. But the disciples rebuke those who brought them.

542
00:34:56.760 --> 00:34:59.599
<v Speaker 1>But when Jesus saw it, he was greatly displeased and

543
00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:02.599
<v Speaker 1>said to the them, let the little children come to me,

544
00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:05.719
<v Speaker 1>and do not forbid them, For of such is the

545
00:35:05.800 --> 00:35:08.760
<v Speaker 1>kingdom of God. Surely I say to you. Whoever does

546
00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:11.239
<v Speaker 1>not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child

547
00:35:11.719 --> 00:35:15.760
<v Speaker 1>will by no means enter it. And he took them

548
00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:19.119
<v Speaker 1>up in his arms, laid his hands on them, and

549
00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:26.719
<v Speaker 1>blessed them. So what is it like to have childlike faith?

550
00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:34.119
<v Speaker 1>That's what he's saying, same as kids have examples of

551
00:35:34.199 --> 00:35:40.880
<v Speaker 1>childlike faith. Matthew nineteen, Jesus welcomes children to him, saying,

552
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:43.280
<v Speaker 1>let the little children come to me, and do not

553
00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:46.480
<v Speaker 1>forbid them. Matthew seventeen. Jesus says, we have faith like

554
00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:50.280
<v Speaker 1>a mustard seed. We can move mountains. Matthew eighteen Jesus

555
00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:53.119
<v Speaker 1>says that whoever humbles themselves like a child is the

556
00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:58.679
<v Speaker 1>greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. And childlike faith is

557
00:35:58.679 --> 00:36:02.880
<v Speaker 1>a humble, unpreti ventuous faith that trust in God. It's

558
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:08.559
<v Speaker 1>characterized by openness, honesty, and joy. It's also a willingness

559
00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:12.159
<v Speaker 1>to put aside one's will and to learn and grow.

560
00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:17.480
<v Speaker 1>So taking all your preconceived biases that you've learned from

561
00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:22.199
<v Speaker 1>the world and setting him aside, and just come in

562
00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:26.039
<v Speaker 1>like a child. Whenever you read the Bible, come in

563
00:36:26.159 --> 00:36:31.679
<v Speaker 1>like a child. Because all these theologians and people in

564
00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:37.119
<v Speaker 1>school and elementary school and high school and college and

565
00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:40.079
<v Speaker 1>all this worldly things that you learn, and then you

566
00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:43.639
<v Speaker 1>go to try to read the Bible. That's the world, right,

567
00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:48.360
<v Speaker 1>It's the Word versus the world. So come to the

568
00:36:48.400 --> 00:36:53.280
<v Speaker 1>Bible like a child, an innocent child. Come to the Word.

569
00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Come to God with childlike faith. Childlike faith is a

570
00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:02.719
<v Speaker 1>way of trusting in God, similar to how a child

571
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:09.920
<v Speaker 1>trusts their parents, like there's a certain thing like let's

572
00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:15.159
<v Speaker 1>say I hand my daughter to somebody that they don't know,

573
00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:22.039
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna data datta. You know, mama, mama, you see,

574
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:25.119
<v Speaker 1>because they have a child like faith in their parents.

575
00:37:25.639 --> 00:37:29.400
<v Speaker 1>They know you, and they love you, they trust you,

576
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:32.360
<v Speaker 1>and they have total faith that you're gonna take care

577
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:38.519
<v Speaker 1>of them. That's the same kind of faith we need

578
00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:47.239
<v Speaker 1>to have with God. With man, nothing is possible, but

579
00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:51.480
<v Speaker 1>with God, all things are possible. Ad meant to that. Okay,

580
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:58.719
<v Speaker 1>let's uh okay. So it's a way of receiving God's gift.

581
00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:03.360
<v Speaker 1>In Christ, kids receive gifts with such joy, right they

582
00:38:03.400 --> 00:38:09.320
<v Speaker 1>do they they receive they receive gift with such joy. Right,

583
00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:13.679
<v Speaker 1>So we need to be the same way. We're saved

584
00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:18.480
<v Speaker 1>by grace through faith, For it is a gift of God,

585
00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:25.159
<v Speaker 1>not of yourselves, not by works, so that no man

586
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:29.639
<v Speaker 1>shall boast. Okay, so kind of the same thing. So

587
00:38:29.719 --> 00:38:35.840
<v Speaker 1>let's continue. Jesus counsels the rich young ruler. Now he

588
00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:38.559
<v Speaker 1>is going out on the road. One came running and

589
00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:41.880
<v Speaker 1>knelt before him and asked him, good teacher, what shall

590
00:38:41.920 --> 00:38:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I do that I may inherit internal life. So Jesus

591
00:38:46.039 --> 00:38:49.079
<v Speaker 1>said to him, why do you call me good? No

592
00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:53.320
<v Speaker 1>one is good, but one that is God. You know

593
00:38:53.360 --> 00:38:57.199
<v Speaker 1>the commandments. Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do

594
00:38:57.280 --> 00:39:00.280
<v Speaker 1>not still, do not bear false witness, do not defraud God.

595
00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:03.639
<v Speaker 1>Honor your father and your mother. And he answered and

596
00:39:03.679 --> 00:39:06.440
<v Speaker 1>said to him, teacher, all these things I have kept

597
00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:11.760
<v Speaker 1>from my youth. Then Jesus looked at him, loved him,

598
00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:17.039
<v Speaker 1>and said to him, one thing you lack, go your way.

599
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:20.679
<v Speaker 1>So whatever you have and give to the poor, and

600
00:39:20.760 --> 00:39:24.519
<v Speaker 1>you will have treasure in heaven. Come take up the

601
00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:28.280
<v Speaker 1>cross and follow me. But he was sad at this

602
00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:33.840
<v Speaker 1>word and went away, sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

603
00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:42.320
<v Speaker 1>And just because Jesus lists the commandments, he's not doesn't

604
00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:44.639
<v Speaker 1>mean that you can make it to heaven by following

605
00:39:44.679 --> 00:39:50.400
<v Speaker 1>the commandments. Okay, what he was doing, he was noticing

606
00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:55.360
<v Speaker 1>that this young man came up to him and wanted

607
00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:58.440
<v Speaker 1>him like he wanted to show him, like, hey, I've

608
00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:04.039
<v Speaker 1>been following all the commandments, which Jesus knows that he hasn't. Okay,

609
00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:08.199
<v Speaker 1>if you love your neighbors, you love yourself, then what

610
00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:11.119
<v Speaker 1>you would do if you see other people struggling, is

611
00:40:11.159 --> 00:40:14.159
<v Speaker 1>you would sell all those possessions, or sell at least

612
00:40:14.159 --> 00:40:17.159
<v Speaker 1>some of them. But he's saying to sell all of them,

613
00:40:18.800 --> 00:40:22.159
<v Speaker 1>sell whatever you have and give to the poor, take

614
00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:25.639
<v Speaker 1>up the cross, and follow me. So he's like telling

615
00:40:25.719 --> 00:40:32.440
<v Speaker 1>him to sell all those possessions, like, right, do all

616
00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:34.760
<v Speaker 1>that right now, and then you can follow me in

617
00:40:34.840 --> 00:40:42.800
<v Speaker 1>my ministry. Right, become a disciple, he answered, and said him, teacher,

618
00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:45.480
<v Speaker 1>all these things that I've kept from my youth, which Jesus

619
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:50.679
<v Speaker 1>knows that he hasn't. Okay, this guy's coming up to

620
00:40:50.840 --> 00:41:01.199
<v Speaker 1>Jesus with this saved by works attitude. And also Jesus

621
00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:05.559
<v Speaker 1>hasn't died on the cross yet, right, So following the

622
00:41:05.679 --> 00:41:09.679
<v Speaker 1>law is what they did back then. But you know

623
00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:12.599
<v Speaker 1>they weren't saved by that. Their stays still saved by

624
00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:18.360
<v Speaker 1>grace and they still had to do sacrifices because nobody

625
00:41:18.360 --> 00:41:24.320
<v Speaker 1>can follow the law one hundred percent. Real quick, we'll

626
00:41:24.320 --> 00:41:30.039
<v Speaker 1>look at Romans three, verses nineteen through twenty. Now we

627
00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:33.519
<v Speaker 1>know that whatever the law says, it says to those

628
00:41:33.599 --> 00:41:38.280
<v Speaker 1>who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped,

629
00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:42.239
<v Speaker 1>and all the world may become guilty before God. So

630
00:41:42.400 --> 00:41:45.559
<v Speaker 1>the law is meant to show you, to make you

631
00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:51.239
<v Speaker 1>feel or know that you're sinning. Right. Therefore, by the

632
00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:53.960
<v Speaker 1>deeds of the law, no flesh will be justified in

633
00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:58.360
<v Speaker 1>his sight. For by the law is the knowledge of sin.

634
00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:01.000
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, it's giving you knowledge that you're sinning, so

635
00:42:01.159 --> 00:42:07.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, okay, but it's not saving you. So with

636
00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:10.440
<v Speaker 1>this guy, yeah, love your neighbor as you as yourself,

637
00:42:10.480 --> 00:42:12.559
<v Speaker 1>as part of the laws. So Jesus is pointing that

638
00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:16.440
<v Speaker 1>out to this young man. This is this rich young ruler.

639
00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:31.119
<v Speaker 1>Let's check this in our real quick cut taste. Um,

640
00:42:35.719 --> 00:42:40.199
<v Speaker 1>let's see this is uh Philippians three, verses nine through eleven.

641
00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:50.519
<v Speaker 1>This is something has to do with uh this this portion.

642
00:42:50.920 --> 00:42:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I think it's this one or the next one. Hold on, okay,

643
00:42:54.639 --> 00:42:57.760
<v Speaker 1>we'll read it Philippians three, verses nine to eleven and

644
00:42:57.840 --> 00:43:00.480
<v Speaker 1>be found in him, not having my own righteous which

645
00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:02.559
<v Speaker 1>is from the law. Yeah, this has to do with

646
00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the law, but that which is through faith in Christ,

647
00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:09.599
<v Speaker 1>the righteousness which is from God. By faith, that I

648
00:43:09.639 --> 00:43:12.920
<v Speaker 1>may know Him, and the power of his resurrection and

649
00:43:12.960 --> 00:43:16.400
<v Speaker 1>the fellowship of his sufferings being conformed to his death.

650
00:43:16.679 --> 00:43:20.039
<v Speaker 1>It if by any means, I may attain to the

651
00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:22.039
<v Speaker 1>resurrection from the dead. So that just has to do

652
00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:23.280
<v Speaker 1>with the law. I just want to bring that up,

653
00:43:24.920 --> 00:43:29.519
<v Speaker 1>all right, So we're going to be in Mark ten,

654
00:43:29.840 --> 00:43:35.039
<v Speaker 1>verse twenty three. All with God, all things are possible.

655
00:43:36.079 --> 00:43:38.559
<v Speaker 1>Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, how

656
00:43:38.559 --> 00:43:40.719
<v Speaker 1>hard is it for those who have riches to enter

657
00:43:40.719 --> 00:43:44.599
<v Speaker 1>the Kingdom of God? And the disciples were astonished by

658
00:43:44.639 --> 00:43:48.360
<v Speaker 1>his words. But Jesus answered again and said to them children,

659
00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:51.480
<v Speaker 1>how hard is it for those who trust in riches

660
00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:54.360
<v Speaker 1>to enter the Kingdom of God. It is easier for

661
00:43:54.440 --> 00:43:57.039
<v Speaker 1>a camel to go through the eye of a needle

662
00:43:57.440 --> 00:43:59.719
<v Speaker 1>than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of

663
00:43:59.760 --> 00:44:04.760
<v Speaker 1>God God. And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves,

664
00:44:05.679 --> 00:44:10.480
<v Speaker 1>who then can be saved? But Jesus looked at them

665
00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:13.400
<v Speaker 1>and said, with men, it is impossible but with God.

666
00:44:13.880 --> 00:44:18.599
<v Speaker 1>For with God, all things are possible. So let me

667
00:44:18.719 --> 00:44:21.800
<v Speaker 1>just give you, guys an example of what's what I

668
00:44:21.840 --> 00:44:24.400
<v Speaker 1>would say, you know, spirits that you could take from this.

669
00:44:26.480 --> 00:44:32.119
<v Speaker 1>So when let's say, you know me, at this moment

670
00:44:32.199 --> 00:44:35.800
<v Speaker 1>right now, am I rich? I feel like I'm rich.

671
00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:39.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not rich in money, but I'm rich and you know,

672
00:44:39.760 --> 00:44:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm in love with my wife. I'm rich. I have

673
00:44:42.119 --> 00:44:46.159
<v Speaker 1>three kids. That makes me rich. And the main thing

674
00:44:46.480 --> 00:44:49.960
<v Speaker 1>is I am close to God. That's what makes me

675
00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:53.360
<v Speaker 1>feel rich inside. You know, it gives me joy, it

676
00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:56.960
<v Speaker 1>gives me peace. Now, all of a sudden, you know,

677
00:44:57.079 --> 00:44:59.119
<v Speaker 1>I go and buy a lottery ticket. I went two

678
00:44:59.199 --> 00:45:06.519
<v Speaker 1>hundred million. So let's say I'm a millionaire. Now, you know,

679
00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:10.639
<v Speaker 1>you just open up the floodgates for sin to travel

680
00:45:10.679 --> 00:45:17.360
<v Speaker 1>into your life so much. Do you understand why. Let's

681
00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:29.400
<v Speaker 1>say you buy yourself a Ferrari, Lamborghini, maybe Porsche, whatever,

682
00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:32.800
<v Speaker 1>and you just go to get gas and you're in

683
00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:36.559
<v Speaker 1>a you know whatever, you buy like one of the

684
00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:38.760
<v Speaker 1>new sports cars. Whatever. You know. Let's say that you're

685
00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:44.039
<v Speaker 1>just into that. The temptation is gonna be way more.

686
00:45:44.440 --> 00:45:46.519
<v Speaker 1>The devil's gonna be able to tempt you so much

687
00:45:46.559 --> 00:45:50.960
<v Speaker 1>more because it'll make people women attract it to you more.

688
00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Or if you're a woman, you know, men attracted to

689
00:45:54.400 --> 00:46:01.079
<v Speaker 1>you more, and you're open up the floodgates to temptation. Also,

690
00:46:02.079 --> 00:46:04.639
<v Speaker 1>you're opening up the floodgates the temptation. Now, I'm not

691
00:46:04.679 --> 00:46:07.880
<v Speaker 1>saying that people shouldn't try to become you know, shouldn't

692
00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:10.559
<v Speaker 1>try to have money or anything like that. All I'm

693
00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:12.559
<v Speaker 1>doing is giving you, guys a few examples of what

694
00:46:12.639 --> 00:46:19.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm seeing. You know, what happens is when you have

695
00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:22.480
<v Speaker 1>earthly possessions and you buy all these things, you know,

696
00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:26.320
<v Speaker 1>the cars, the houses, and then you know, you got

697
00:46:26.320 --> 00:46:28.360
<v Speaker 1>the friends coming over. You're trying to keep up with

698
00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:32.760
<v Speaker 1>the joneses, you know, all that stuff. It's it's hard

699
00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:36.400
<v Speaker 1>to have room for loving God so much. Not saying

700
00:46:36.400 --> 00:46:39.199
<v Speaker 1>that every rich person's going to hell or every rich

701
00:46:39.239 --> 00:46:42.719
<v Speaker 1>person's filled with sin. No, if they've been rich their

702
00:46:42.760 --> 00:46:45.000
<v Speaker 1>whole entire lives, then it's probably no big deal to them.

703
00:46:45.639 --> 00:46:49.280
<v Speaker 1>But all I'm saying is Jesus is saying this. It's

704
00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:50.840
<v Speaker 1>easier for a camera to go through the eye of

705
00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:52.480
<v Speaker 1>a needle than for a rich man to enter the

706
00:46:52.519 --> 00:46:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Kingdom of God. You can understand why, because the floodgates

707
00:46:55.880 --> 00:46:59.239
<v Speaker 1>open when you can buy whatever you want. You could

708
00:46:59.239 --> 00:47:02.360
<v Speaker 1>travel wherever you want to go. Uh. Some people that

709
00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:04.880
<v Speaker 1>are that are that are rich. The man is working

710
00:47:05.159 --> 00:47:09.639
<v Speaker 1>like all the time, uh, business trips all the time.

711
00:47:10.519 --> 00:47:13.679
<v Speaker 1>The temptation is black God, the devil is blasting them

712
00:47:13.679 --> 00:47:17.559
<v Speaker 1>with temptation. The woman's at home alone all the time

713
00:47:17.599 --> 00:47:20.760
<v Speaker 1>because the husband's always working, flying on jets doing all

714
00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:23.320
<v Speaker 1>this stuff, and the women's at home. The temptation is

715
00:47:23.480 --> 00:47:25.360
<v Speaker 1>blasting at them at all the time. They're working out

716
00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:27.719
<v Speaker 1>of the gym. Oh hey, my husband is out of

717
00:47:27.719 --> 00:47:29.920
<v Speaker 1>town all the time, and oh it starts talking to

718
00:47:29.960 --> 00:47:32.159
<v Speaker 1>some dude about whatever she's going through. You see what

719
00:47:32.239 --> 00:47:34.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean. So it just opens up the floodgates. And

720
00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:36.840
<v Speaker 1>that could happen with poor people too. But what I'm

721
00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:39.519
<v Speaker 1>telling you is I can kind of see why because

722
00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:43.920
<v Speaker 1>if I would have became a secular rapper and I

723
00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:46.719
<v Speaker 1>had millions and millions of dollars and I was on

724
00:47:47.320 --> 00:47:52.880
<v Speaker 1>tour all the time, dude, the floodgates would open. Cocaine, drugs, women,

725
00:47:53.079 --> 00:47:55.840
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff all the time, every single and then

726
00:47:56.559 --> 00:47:59.639
<v Speaker 1>just some people are doing things to become rich that

727
00:47:59.719 --> 00:48:03.480
<v Speaker 1>are arable. They are stepping on top of people, they're

728
00:48:03.519 --> 00:48:06.159
<v Speaker 1>toppling over people for them to get to that position.

729
00:48:06.559 --> 00:48:09.400
<v Speaker 1>So that's another thing. And they're doing it for greed,

730
00:48:09.880 --> 00:48:13.079
<v Speaker 1>you know. Oh you know what, give me one second,

731
00:48:13.119 --> 00:48:17.400
<v Speaker 1>I gotta plug this way. Looks like my computer was

732
00:48:18.000 --> 00:48:23.039
<v Speaker 1>not plugged in. Good thing that didn't go out. So

733
00:48:23.320 --> 00:48:26.079
<v Speaker 1>now you can understand what I mean. So, is there

734
00:48:26.079 --> 00:48:29.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of temptation for people that are poor. Of course,

735
00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:31.079
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of gang bangers, there's a lot of

736
00:48:31.079 --> 00:48:33.800
<v Speaker 1>people that are drug addicts. There's a lot of people

737
00:48:33.880 --> 00:48:37.000
<v Speaker 1>that are that are that are struggling, that are probably

738
00:48:37.599 --> 00:48:41.199
<v Speaker 1>disliking their situations. So it makes them dislike the Bible

739
00:48:41.320 --> 00:48:43.960
<v Speaker 1>or maybe dislike God, you know, and whatever because they're

740
00:48:43.960 --> 00:48:47.320
<v Speaker 1>blaming stuff on God. So yeah, I understand. But Jesus

741
00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:50.400
<v Speaker 1>is just pointing this out because if you love something

742
00:48:50.480 --> 00:48:53.039
<v Speaker 1>more than God and they're not putting God first, like

743
00:48:53.079 --> 00:48:57.280
<v Speaker 1>your money, your riches, your greed, your fame, your job,

744
00:48:57.800 --> 00:49:01.880
<v Speaker 1>your business, whatever you're putting God on the back burner,

745
00:49:02.679 --> 00:49:05.360
<v Speaker 1>then you know you're not putting God first. You need

746
00:49:05.360 --> 00:49:07.400
<v Speaker 1>to put forth the Kingdom of Heaven first, you know.

747
00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:10.800
<v Speaker 1>So I think that's mostly what he's saying here will continue.

748
00:49:12.679 --> 00:49:15.000
<v Speaker 1>That's why it's saying with men it is impossible, but

749
00:49:15.079 --> 00:49:19.480
<v Speaker 1>with God. But for with God. But not with God,

750
00:49:19.519 --> 00:49:22.440
<v Speaker 1>it says, but not with God. For with God all

751
00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:26.800
<v Speaker 1>things are possible. Let's continue, Mark ten, verse twenty eight.

752
00:49:26.840 --> 00:49:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Then Peter began to say to him, see, we have

753
00:49:29.559 --> 00:49:33.280
<v Speaker 1>left all and followed you. So Peter always does this,

754
00:49:34.440 --> 00:49:38.400
<v Speaker 1>he always, he does this all the time. I think

755
00:49:38.400 --> 00:49:41.000
<v Speaker 1>we were talking about it on the last show, where

756
00:49:41.159 --> 00:49:44.599
<v Speaker 1>Jesus always has to check Peter. My friend was asking me, oh,

757
00:49:44.760 --> 00:49:49.079
<v Speaker 1>somebody who was asking me about if John was still alive,

758
00:49:49.119 --> 00:49:51.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, and I had to kind of go through

759
00:49:51.039 --> 00:49:54.639
<v Speaker 1>that with them, but go good. But I was telling him, yeah,

760
00:49:54.800 --> 00:49:57.559
<v Speaker 1>Peter always gets checked. And you see Jesus actually checking

761
00:49:57.559 --> 00:50:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Peter right there, right here. So it says then Peter

762
00:50:01.119 --> 00:50:03.960
<v Speaker 1>said to him, see, we have left all and followed you. Right.

763
00:50:04.880 --> 00:50:07.480
<v Speaker 1>So Jesus answered and said, surely, I see to you.

764
00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:11.639
<v Speaker 1>There's no one who has left house or brothers or sisters,

765
00:50:11.800 --> 00:50:14.480
<v Speaker 1>or father or mother or wife, or children or lands

766
00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:21.760
<v Speaker 1>for my sake and the gospels who shall not receive

767
00:50:21.760 --> 00:50:24.360
<v Speaker 1>one hundred fold now in this time, houses and brothers

768
00:50:24.400 --> 00:50:27.320
<v Speaker 1>and sisters and mothers and children in lands with persecutions

769
00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:31.119
<v Speaker 1>and an age to come eternal life. But many who

770
00:50:31.159 --> 00:50:39.199
<v Speaker 1>are first will be last. And I'll tell you this

771
00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:47.199
<v Speaker 1>right here, actually is there's a parable in the book

772
00:50:47.199 --> 00:50:49.360
<v Speaker 1>of Matthew that we went over that kind of explains

773
00:50:49.400 --> 00:50:57.800
<v Speaker 1>this portion right here. It's the parable of the vineyard

774
00:51:00.119 --> 00:51:03.280
<v Speaker 1>to you twenty verses one through six. For the Kingdom

775
00:51:03.280 --> 00:51:06.000
<v Speaker 1>of Heaven is like a landowner who went out early

776
00:51:06.079 --> 00:51:10.960
<v Speaker 1>in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. Now,

777
00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:14.000
<v Speaker 1>when he had agreed with the laborers for a dinaris

778
00:51:14.159 --> 00:51:18.079
<v Speaker 1>a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he

779
00:51:18.159 --> 00:51:20.719
<v Speaker 1>went out about the third hour and saw others standing

780
00:51:20.760 --> 00:51:24.639
<v Speaker 1>idle in the marketplace, and said to them, you also

781
00:51:24.679 --> 00:51:26.840
<v Speaker 1>go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will

782
00:51:26.840 --> 00:51:30.400
<v Speaker 1>give you. So they went again. He went out about

783
00:51:30.440 --> 00:51:33.880
<v Speaker 1>the sixth and ninth hour and did likewise. And about

784
00:51:33.880 --> 00:51:36.880
<v Speaker 1>the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle,

785
00:51:37.079 --> 00:51:39.519
<v Speaker 1>and said to them, why have you been standing idle

786
00:51:39.559 --> 00:51:42.039
<v Speaker 1>all day? They said to him, because no one hired us.

787
00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:47.079
<v Speaker 1>He said to them, you also go into the vineyard,

788
00:51:47.119 --> 00:51:50.400
<v Speaker 1>and whatever is right you will receive. So, when evening

789
00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:52.960
<v Speaker 1>had come, the owner of the vineyard said to a steward,

790
00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:56.559
<v Speaker 1>call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with

791
00:51:57.039 --> 00:52:02.719
<v Speaker 1>the last to the first. And when those came who

792
00:52:02.800 --> 00:52:06.519
<v Speaker 1>were hired about the eleventh, they each received a dinaris.

793
00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:09.360
<v Speaker 1>But when the first came, they supposed that they would

794
00:52:09.360 --> 00:52:13.280
<v Speaker 1>receive more, and they likewise received each a dinars. And

795
00:52:13.320 --> 00:52:17.079
<v Speaker 1>when they had received it, they complained against the landowners, saying,

796
00:52:17.159 --> 00:52:20.599
<v Speaker 1>these last men have worked only one hour, and he

797
00:52:20.719 --> 00:52:24.519
<v Speaker 1>made them equal to us. We have borne the burden

798
00:52:24.599 --> 00:52:26.880
<v Speaker 1>and the heat of all day. He answered one of

799
00:52:26.920 --> 00:52:29.840
<v Speaker 1>them and said, friend, I am doing you no wrong.

800
00:52:30.480 --> 00:52:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Did you not agree with me for a dinaris? Take

801
00:52:33.400 --> 00:52:36.840
<v Speaker 1>what is yours and go your way. I wish I

802
00:52:36.960 --> 00:52:40.519
<v Speaker 1>give you. I wish to give to this last man,

803
00:52:40.760 --> 00:52:44.400
<v Speaker 1>the same as to you. Is it not lawful for

804
00:52:44.519 --> 00:52:47.960
<v Speaker 1>me to do what I wish with my own things?

805
00:52:48.519 --> 00:52:51.639
<v Speaker 1>Or is it? Or is your eye evil? Because I

806
00:52:51.679 --> 00:52:54.880
<v Speaker 1>am good? So the last will be first and the

807
00:52:54.920 --> 00:53:01.639
<v Speaker 1>first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.

808
00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:06.199
<v Speaker 1>So that's the part it says, for you know us,

809
00:53:06.239 --> 00:53:08.159
<v Speaker 1>so the last will be first and the first will

810
00:53:08.199 --> 00:53:10.000
<v Speaker 1>be last. I noticed that he said that here, So

811
00:53:10.039 --> 00:53:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I kind of connected these two dots. So That's an

812
00:53:16.400 --> 00:53:20.840
<v Speaker 1>example of somebody that at eighteen has been following the

813
00:53:20.880 --> 00:53:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Lord their whole entire life, you know, doing all these

814
00:53:24.960 --> 00:53:29.159
<v Speaker 1>works and everything they could do. And you know that

815
00:53:29.159 --> 00:53:33.159
<v Speaker 1>they believe Jesus. They believe that, you know one Corinthians fifteen,

816
00:53:33.239 --> 00:53:35.159
<v Speaker 1>Verses one through four. They believe Jesus died on the

817
00:53:35.159 --> 00:53:37.800
<v Speaker 1>cross rose again. They have faith in Jesus, you know,

818
00:53:38.199 --> 00:53:40.800
<v Speaker 1>and you know they go their whole entire lives and

819
00:53:40.840 --> 00:53:43.239
<v Speaker 1>then what do they do. They end up in the

820
00:53:43.320 --> 00:53:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Kingdom of heaven, right, and then somebody is on their deathbed,

821
00:53:48.400 --> 00:53:54.719
<v Speaker 1>a murderer whatever and or whatever. Like let's say a

822
00:53:54.719 --> 00:53:58.400
<v Speaker 1>prisoner in jail, like lived his whole life on skid row,

823
00:53:58.840 --> 00:54:02.840
<v Speaker 1>doing drugs, hero in, uh, doing all this crazy stuff.

824
00:54:02.920 --> 00:54:06.199
<v Speaker 1>And then you know, he ends up in prison. He's

825
00:54:06.239 --> 00:54:08.800
<v Speaker 1>in his seventies, he's you know, he's gonna die in

826
00:54:08.800 --> 00:54:11.880
<v Speaker 1>prison because he's spending life and murder or life in

827
00:54:11.920 --> 00:54:14.079
<v Speaker 1>prison or something. It's just an example of all to see.

828
00:54:14.079 --> 00:54:17.559
<v Speaker 1>But and then you know he's going to pass away

829
00:54:17.639 --> 00:54:20.480
<v Speaker 1>soon and he gets saved by the Lord. He gets

830
00:54:20.519 --> 00:54:25.159
<v Speaker 1>saved and he ends up you know, uh, loving God.

831
00:54:25.559 --> 00:54:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Believe in Corinthians verse Corinthians fifteen, verses one through four. Uh,

832
00:54:31.480 --> 00:54:34.280
<v Speaker 1>called out to the name of Jesus, believes John three

833
00:54:34.280 --> 00:54:37.840
<v Speaker 1>point sixteen. He has faith in the Lord, faith in Jesus,

834
00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:43.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, all this stuff, right, and then he ends

835
00:54:43.199 --> 00:54:46.440
<v Speaker 1>up dying, you know, three weeks later he ends up

836
00:54:46.440 --> 00:54:50.760
<v Speaker 1>in heaven. So the first will be last, the last

837
00:54:50.760 --> 00:54:58.920
<v Speaker 1>will be first. So and then you end up in

838
00:54:58.960 --> 00:55:05.599
<v Speaker 1>heaven with this person. And you're like, Charlie, I can't

839
00:55:05.639 --> 00:55:10.239
<v Speaker 1>believe you made it. Charlie. I spend my whole life

840
00:55:10.320 --> 00:55:13.920
<v Speaker 1>praise to the Lord, doing to spend the Gospel, doing

841
00:55:13.960 --> 00:55:16.880
<v Speaker 1>all going to all these different events and conferences and

842
00:55:17.039 --> 00:55:19.039
<v Speaker 1>this and that, and I did all this stuff for God.

843
00:55:19.039 --> 00:55:22.960
<v Speaker 1>And you're here too. I thought I didn't even I

844
00:55:23.000 --> 00:55:28.199
<v Speaker 1>would ever even thought did you go to prison? You see,

845
00:55:28.920 --> 00:55:30.840
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be people in heaven that we will just

846
00:55:30.920 --> 00:55:38.800
<v Speaker 1>be so surprised to see. But it all is up

847
00:55:38.840 --> 00:55:40.719
<v Speaker 1>to God. You see. That's why he says, this is

848
00:55:40.800 --> 00:55:43.239
<v Speaker 1>my stuff. I could do what I want with this

849
00:55:44.199 --> 00:55:46.880
<v Speaker 1>because it's mine, not mine, but you know it's his,

850
00:55:47.039 --> 00:55:52.199
<v Speaker 1>It's God. So he is the owner of the vineyard.

851
00:55:52.440 --> 00:55:56.719
<v Speaker 1>And that's that's what's happening in this. Uh. This is

852
00:55:56.800 --> 00:56:00.800
<v Speaker 1>just a powerful thing to know. Now, do you want

853
00:56:00.840 --> 00:56:03.320
<v Speaker 1>to be that person that's last and then die before

854
00:56:03.480 --> 00:56:08.000
<v Speaker 1>you never know? Especially right now? Man, there's man, it's

855
00:56:08.119 --> 00:56:11.719
<v Speaker 1>very tough because you don't want to just be waiting

856
00:56:11.760 --> 00:56:15.239
<v Speaker 1>and waiting and waiting to get saved. And you know,

857
00:56:15.280 --> 00:56:17.639
<v Speaker 1>I just want to keep partying. I want to keep this,

858
00:56:17.719 --> 00:56:19.559
<v Speaker 1>I want to keep the women, I want to keep this,

859
00:56:19.639 --> 00:56:21.519
<v Speaker 1>and then whatever. I don't want to keep doing that

860
00:56:21.760 --> 00:56:23.920
<v Speaker 1>and then you die before you get saved or something.

861
00:56:24.480 --> 00:56:27.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's definitely not what Jesus is trying to

862
00:56:27.880 --> 00:56:34.119
<v Speaker 1>say here. He's just saying that exactly what I explained,

863
00:56:34.119 --> 00:56:37.480
<v Speaker 1>you know. So let's continue Mark ten, verse thirty two.

864
00:56:38.199 --> 00:56:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Now they were on the road going to Jerusalem, and

865
00:56:41.079 --> 00:56:44.199
<v Speaker 1>Jesus was going before them, and they were amazed. As

866
00:56:44.239 --> 00:56:47.360
<v Speaker 1>they followed, they were afraid. Then he took the twelve

867
00:56:47.440 --> 00:56:50.239
<v Speaker 1>aside again and began to tell them the things that

868
00:56:50.320 --> 00:56:54.199
<v Speaker 1>would happen to him. And if you notice, Jesus is

869
00:56:54.239 --> 00:56:59.039
<v Speaker 1>walking ahead of them. They're on the road going to Jerusalem, right,

870
00:57:00.639 --> 00:57:03.159
<v Speaker 1>so they're walking a little slower. Jesus is walking ahead.

871
00:57:04.559 --> 00:57:08.639
<v Speaker 1>Jesus was going before them. They were amazed, and as

872
00:57:08.639 --> 00:57:11.039
<v Speaker 1>they followed him, they were afraid, and he took the

873
00:57:11.039 --> 00:57:13.400
<v Speaker 1>twelve a side and began to tell them the things

874
00:57:13.440 --> 00:57:17.599
<v Speaker 1>that would happen to him. Behold, we are going up

875
00:57:17.599 --> 00:57:20.280
<v Speaker 1>to Jerusalem, and the son of Man will be betrayed

876
00:57:20.880 --> 00:57:23.519
<v Speaker 1>to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they

877
00:57:23.519 --> 00:57:27.239
<v Speaker 1>will condemn him to death and deliver him to the gentiles.

878
00:57:28.039 --> 00:57:31.079
<v Speaker 1>They will mock him and scoorge him, and spit on

879
00:57:31.159 --> 00:57:34.719
<v Speaker 1>him and kill him. And on the third day he

880
00:57:34.800 --> 00:57:41.199
<v Speaker 1>will rise again. Praise God that he rose again. Right,

881
00:57:41.559 --> 00:57:45.239
<v Speaker 1>that's it. It all depends on him rising again that way.

882
00:57:45.360 --> 00:57:48.480
<v Speaker 1>That's how you know. Jesus is who he says he was.

883
00:57:52.800 --> 00:57:58.519
<v Speaker 1>Ah greatness is serving. Then James and John, the sons

884
00:57:58.519 --> 00:58:01.559
<v Speaker 1>of Zebedee, came to him and saying, Teacher, we want

885
00:58:01.639 --> 00:58:04.840
<v Speaker 1>you to do for us whatever we We want you

886
00:58:05.000 --> 00:58:08.119
<v Speaker 1>to do for us, whatever we ask. And he said

887
00:58:08.119 --> 00:58:10.480
<v Speaker 1>to them, what do you want me to do for you?

888
00:58:11.440 --> 00:58:13.840
<v Speaker 1>And they said to him, grant us that we may

889
00:58:13.880 --> 00:58:16.400
<v Speaker 1>sit one on your right hand and the other on

890
00:58:16.440 --> 00:58:19.519
<v Speaker 1>your left, in your in your glory. But Jesus said

891
00:58:19.559 --> 00:58:21.840
<v Speaker 1>to them, you do not know what you ask. Are

892
00:58:21.840 --> 00:58:23.800
<v Speaker 1>you able to drink the cup that I drink and

893
00:58:23.840 --> 00:58:26.440
<v Speaker 1>be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with

894
00:58:27.199 --> 00:58:32.159
<v Speaker 1>they said, we are able, just just nonchalant. Right. Also,

895
00:58:35.360 --> 00:58:37.599
<v Speaker 1>they think that Jesus is going to have a heavenly

896
00:58:37.760 --> 00:58:40.360
<v Speaker 1>kingdom and they're going to be able to reign with him.

897
00:58:41.159 --> 00:58:45.199
<v Speaker 1>What they don't understand He's having a heavenly kingdom and

898
00:58:45.239 --> 00:58:48.559
<v Speaker 1>they're not worthy to be on the right hand of him.

899
00:58:49.320 --> 00:58:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Jesus is God in the flesh. They don't, they don't,

900
00:58:52.239 --> 00:58:56.440
<v Speaker 1>they don't get that. I think Thomas gets it when

901
00:58:56.519 --> 00:59:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Jesus is resurrected and he says, my Lord, my God.

902
00:59:00.559 --> 00:59:02.519
<v Speaker 1>I think he gets it. I think they start kind

903
00:59:02.519 --> 00:59:05.760
<v Speaker 1>of getting it, you know, especially when he resurrects. They're like, whoa,

904
00:59:05.960 --> 00:59:10.639
<v Speaker 1>Especially when he comes back and then there's people coming

905
00:59:10.639 --> 00:59:13.920
<v Speaker 1>out of the graves and in appearing to them. I mean,

906
00:59:13.960 --> 00:59:19.199
<v Speaker 1>that's I'm just saying. They're not understanding though, granteds that

907
00:59:19.280 --> 00:59:21.559
<v Speaker 1>we may sit one on your right hand the other

908
00:59:21.599 --> 00:59:24.519
<v Speaker 1>on your left in your glory. That's what they're looking for.

909
00:59:25.199 --> 00:59:31.360
<v Speaker 1>They want his glory. They want that. Jesus saying, you

910
00:59:31.400 --> 00:59:33.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know what you asked, Like, do you want to

911
00:59:33.480 --> 00:59:37.400
<v Speaker 1>go and get crucified for everybody's sins? Do you want

912
00:59:37.400 --> 00:59:40.079
<v Speaker 1>all that, No, you ain't ready to drink from this cup.

913
00:59:40.199 --> 00:59:42.599
<v Speaker 1>And he knows what he's up to, and he just

914
00:59:42.639 --> 00:59:45.920
<v Speaker 1>got done explained, and then what's gonna happen to him?

915
00:59:46.119 --> 00:59:50.760
<v Speaker 1>And they're over here asking him that, and then Jesus

916
00:59:51.280 --> 00:59:52.920
<v Speaker 1>then they said to him, we are able. Let's go

917
00:59:52.960 --> 00:59:56.440
<v Speaker 1>to we'll continue in verse thirty nine, Mark ten, Verse

918
00:59:56.440 --> 00:59:58.960
<v Speaker 1>thirty nine. So Jesus said to them, you will indeed

919
00:59:59.039 --> 01:00:02.199
<v Speaker 1>drink the cup that I drink, and with the baptism

920
01:00:02.239 --> 01:00:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I am baptized. With you will be baptized. But to

921
01:00:04.920 --> 01:00:07.000
<v Speaker 1>sit on my right hand and on my left is

922
01:00:07.039 --> 01:00:10.079
<v Speaker 1>not mine to give, but it is for those for

923
01:00:10.239 --> 01:00:17.960
<v Speaker 1>whom it is prepared. I would say that God the

924
01:00:18.000 --> 01:00:24.199
<v Speaker 1>Father would choose that right. So it seems like. And

925
01:00:24.280 --> 01:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>when the ten heard it, they began to be greatly

926
01:00:27.000 --> 01:00:30.239
<v Speaker 1>displeased with James and John. But Jesus called them to

927
01:00:30.320 --> 01:00:33.440
<v Speaker 1>himself and said, you know that those who are considered

928
01:00:33.519 --> 01:00:38.639
<v Speaker 1>rulers over the gentiles lord over it. Those who are

929
01:00:38.639 --> 01:00:42.119
<v Speaker 1>considered rulers over the gentiles lord it over them. And

930
01:00:42.159 --> 01:00:46.599
<v Speaker 1>they're great ones exercise authority over them. Yet it shall

931
01:00:46.639 --> 01:00:49.519
<v Speaker 1>not be so among you. But whoever decides to become

932
01:00:49.599 --> 01:00:53.519
<v Speaker 1>great among you, shall be your servant. Whoever you desire

933
01:00:53.559 --> 01:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>to be the first, shall be a slave of all.

934
01:00:56.440 --> 01:00:58.440
<v Speaker 1>For even the son of Man did not come to

935
01:00:58.480 --> 01:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>be served, but to serve and to give his life

936
01:01:01.840 --> 01:01:06.880
<v Speaker 1>a ransom for many. So they want to be great

937
01:01:06.960 --> 01:01:09.519
<v Speaker 1>on earth. They want to be great, they want glory.

938
01:01:09.559 --> 01:01:14.599
<v Speaker 1>But Jesus is saying that, for even the son of

939
01:01:14.639 --> 01:01:17.159
<v Speaker 1>Man did not come to be served, but to serve

940
01:01:18.519 --> 01:01:20.519
<v Speaker 1>and to give his life as a ransom for many.

941
01:01:20.880 --> 01:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>So they're not understanding what Jesus is just twoing here.

942
01:01:23.800 --> 01:01:26.559
<v Speaker 1>He's like, I'm not here to have a kingdom on earth.

943
01:01:26.679 --> 01:01:29.840
<v Speaker 1>This doesn't matter to me. It's the kingdom in heaven.

944
01:01:30.679 --> 01:01:37.079
<v Speaker 1>And they're not understanding that spiritual aspect of it. And

945
01:01:37.199 --> 01:01:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Jesus is here to be a servant, not a king

946
01:01:42.960 --> 01:01:46.320
<v Speaker 1>ruling on a throne on earth. But yeah, he's the

947
01:01:46.400 --> 01:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>king of king, lord of lords in heaven, yes, but

948
01:01:49.360 --> 01:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>not an earthly kingdom like they think. And in Matthew,

949
01:01:53.239 --> 01:01:58.119
<v Speaker 1>the mom gets involved and starts asking them, asking Jesus,

950
01:02:00.079 --> 01:02:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Jesus healed blind bartimaas Now this is going to be

951
01:02:06.239 --> 01:02:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Mark ten, verse forty six. Now they came to Jericho

952
01:02:08.880 --> 01:02:11.119
<v Speaker 1>as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and

953
01:02:11.199 --> 01:02:18.800
<v Speaker 1>a great multitude. Blind Bartimaas, the son of tamuse Temius,

954
01:02:19.000 --> 01:02:23.000
<v Speaker 1>not tamuz Temius, sat by the road begging, and when

955
01:02:23.039 --> 01:02:25.119
<v Speaker 1>he heard that it was Jesus and Nazareth, began to

956
01:02:25.159 --> 01:02:28.960
<v Speaker 1>cry out, saying, Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.

957
01:02:30.199 --> 01:02:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Then many warned him to be quiet, but he cried

958
01:02:32.800 --> 01:02:35.519
<v Speaker 1>out all the more, son of David, have mercy on me.

959
01:02:35.559 --> 01:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called.

960
01:02:39.760 --> 01:02:41.880
<v Speaker 1>And then they called the blind man, saying to him,

961
01:02:42.440 --> 01:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>be of good cheer. Rise he is calling you, and

962
01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:48.599
<v Speaker 1>throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus.

963
01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>So Jesus answered and said to him, what do you

964
01:02:52.079 --> 01:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>want me to do for you. The blind man said, Raboni,

965
01:02:58.079 --> 01:03:00.800
<v Speaker 1>that I may receive my sight. And Jesus said to him,

966
01:03:00.880 --> 01:03:03.440
<v Speaker 1>go your way. Your faith has made you well. And

967
01:03:03.599 --> 01:03:08.119
<v Speaker 1>immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.

968
01:03:09.039 --> 01:03:14.079
<v Speaker 1>So you could imagine somebody that's been blind their whole life,

969
01:03:15.960 --> 01:03:18.760
<v Speaker 1>and Jesus comes and and he says, your faith made

970
01:03:18.800 --> 01:03:25.800
<v Speaker 1>you well, and immediately his sight received his sight. Man,

971
01:03:26.199 --> 01:03:29.199
<v Speaker 1>So it's so powerful right. I mean, that's powerful, that's

972
01:03:29.280 --> 01:03:38.159
<v Speaker 1>that's amazing. So let's go to Mark eleven and let

973
01:03:38.159 --> 01:03:44.960
<v Speaker 1>me go to my notes. So this is the Triumphal entry,

974
01:03:45.159 --> 01:03:55.679
<v Speaker 1>is what it's what the title is. So now, when

975
01:03:55.719 --> 01:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>they drew near Jerusalem to Bethage and Bethany at the

976
01:04:00.360 --> 01:04:04.639
<v Speaker 1>Mount of Olives, he said two of his disciples, and

977
01:04:04.679 --> 01:04:07.480
<v Speaker 1>he said to them, go into the village opposite you,

978
01:04:08.000 --> 01:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and as soon as you have entered it, you will

979
01:04:10.039 --> 01:04:14.760
<v Speaker 1>find a cult tide on which no one has sat.

980
01:04:15.400 --> 01:04:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Loose it and bring it. And if anyone says to you,

981
01:04:18.400 --> 01:04:21.239
<v Speaker 1>why are you doing this, say the Lord has need

982
01:04:21.280 --> 01:04:24.280
<v Speaker 1>of it, and immediately he will send it here. So

983
01:04:24.639 --> 01:04:27.840
<v Speaker 1>just so you know, I will stop there real quick.

984
01:04:27.880 --> 01:04:30.440
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna come back at verse four when I come back.

985
01:04:30.519 --> 01:04:37.679
<v Speaker 1>But let's go to our notes real quick. So coming

986
01:04:37.679 --> 01:04:41.599
<v Speaker 1>on a donkey, right, So donkey means that he's coming

987
01:04:41.639 --> 01:04:45.079
<v Speaker 1>in peace. Riding a horse when they come into town

988
01:04:45.639 --> 01:04:48.480
<v Speaker 1>is more like someone's coming for a war or you know,

989
01:04:48.519 --> 01:04:54.280
<v Speaker 1>for problems. So Jesus on a colt. Okay, a colt

990
01:04:54.320 --> 01:04:57.000
<v Speaker 1>can be a donkey. A colt can be a young

991
01:04:57.119 --> 01:04:59.679
<v Speaker 1>male donkey that is under four years old. The term

992
01:04:59.760 --> 01:05:03.079
<v Speaker 1>cl can also refer to a young male horse, pony

993
01:05:03.519 --> 01:05:11.320
<v Speaker 1>or mule. Excuse me, just so you know, Okay, Now,

994
01:05:13.519 --> 01:05:15.960
<v Speaker 1>what I think is fascinating is that when he comes

995
01:05:16.000 --> 01:05:21.039
<v Speaker 1>into town with this triumphal entry, he's riding a donkey. Right.

996
01:05:22.920 --> 01:05:28.159
<v Speaker 1>But when he comes back in Revelation nineteen verses eleven

997
01:05:28.199 --> 01:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>through sixteen, what does he come on? Let's read it now.

998
01:05:34.360 --> 01:05:39.599
<v Speaker 1>I saw heaven opened and behold a white horse. He's

999
01:05:39.599 --> 01:05:42.400
<v Speaker 1>coming on a white horse, right, not a donkey next time.

1000
01:05:43.400 --> 01:05:47.679
<v Speaker 1>And he's he who sat on him, which capital H

1001
01:05:47.840 --> 01:05:49.480
<v Speaker 1>is going to be Jesus right, who sat on him

1002
01:05:49.599 --> 01:05:53.239
<v Speaker 1>was called faithful and true, and in his righteousness he

1003
01:05:53.360 --> 01:05:56.280
<v Speaker 1>judges and makes war. You understand. You see that the

1004
01:05:56.320 --> 01:06:00.760
<v Speaker 1>difference here, You see that he's making war. He's coming

1005
01:06:00.800 --> 01:06:05.199
<v Speaker 1>on a horse. But back then on the triumple and

1006
01:06:05.719 --> 01:06:10.199
<v Speaker 1>mark eleven, he's going to be coming in on a donkey.

1007
01:06:10.960 --> 01:06:14.679
<v Speaker 1>He's coming in peace, he's a servant. But when he

1008
01:06:14.719 --> 01:06:17.159
<v Speaker 1>comes in Revelation, he's going to be on a pale

1009
01:06:17.199 --> 01:06:21.239
<v Speaker 1>white horse, and he's ready for what he's ready to judge,

1010
01:06:22.239 --> 01:06:29.159
<v Speaker 1>make war. Let's go back to Revelation nineteen eleven through sixteen.

1011
01:06:29.239 --> 01:06:31.800
<v Speaker 1>His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on

1012
01:06:31.840 --> 01:06:35.000
<v Speaker 1>his head were many crowns. He had a name written

1013
01:06:35.920 --> 01:06:39.599
<v Speaker 1>that no one knew except himself. He has clothed with

1014
01:06:39.679 --> 01:06:42.519
<v Speaker 1>the robe dipped in blood. His name is called the

1015
01:06:42.559 --> 01:06:48.679
<v Speaker 1>Word of God. Okay that his name is called the

1016
01:06:48.719 --> 01:06:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed and

1017
01:06:52.039 --> 01:06:55.119
<v Speaker 1>fine linen, white and clean, followed him on white horses.

1018
01:06:55.679 --> 01:06:59.239
<v Speaker 1>He's ready for war. He's ready to judge. Now out

1019
01:06:59.280 --> 01:07:02.960
<v Speaker 1>of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it

1020
01:07:03.000 --> 01:07:06.280
<v Speaker 1>he should strike the nations, and he himself with rule

1021
01:07:06.360 --> 01:07:11.119
<v Speaker 1>with a rod of iron. He himself threatned, treads the

1022
01:07:11.159 --> 01:07:15.000
<v Speaker 1>wine press of the fierceness and wrath of almighty God.

1023
01:07:15.559 --> 01:07:18.400
<v Speaker 1>He has his robe and on his thigh a name

1024
01:07:18.480 --> 01:07:21.679
<v Speaker 1>written King of kings and Lord of lords. The whole

1025
01:07:21.679 --> 01:07:24.320
<v Speaker 1>point of me reading that to you is when he

1026
01:07:24.360 --> 01:07:28.960
<v Speaker 1>comes into the city as the Messiah, the Christ, he's

1027
01:07:29.000 --> 01:07:33.000
<v Speaker 1>coming in peace, right, But when he comes back, he's

1028
01:07:33.119 --> 01:07:36.480
<v Speaker 1>riding a horse. So just want to let you guys

1029
01:07:36.559 --> 01:07:44.199
<v Speaker 1>know that andem and this whole prophecy about him coming

1030
01:07:44.199 --> 01:07:48.679
<v Speaker 1>in on a donkey, it's been prophesied in Zachariah nine,

1031
01:07:49.239 --> 01:07:53.920
<v Speaker 1>verses nine through ten. Let's read that real quick Rejoice greatly, O,

1032
01:07:54.079 --> 01:07:58.639
<v Speaker 1>daughter of Zion, Shout, O, daughter of Jerusalem. Behold, your

1033
01:07:58.760 --> 01:08:02.760
<v Speaker 1>king is coming to you. He is just and having

1034
01:08:02.800 --> 01:08:08.559
<v Speaker 1>salvation lowly, and riding on a donkey, a colt, and

1035
01:08:08.599 --> 01:08:11.159
<v Speaker 1>a foul of a donkey. I will cut off the

1036
01:08:11.239 --> 01:08:14.960
<v Speaker 1>chariot from Ephrium and the horse from Jerusalem. The battle

1037
01:08:15.000 --> 01:08:17.560
<v Speaker 1>boat shall be cut off. He shall speak peace to

1038
01:08:18.039 --> 01:08:21.800
<v Speaker 1>the nations. His dominion shall be from sea to sea,

1039
01:08:22.239 --> 01:08:27.399
<v Speaker 1>and from river to the ends of the earth. Okay,

1040
01:08:27.520 --> 01:08:31.800
<v Speaker 1>let's continue with Mark four. But that's that's a great

1041
01:08:31.840 --> 01:08:36.039
<v Speaker 1>prophecy of Jesus coming riding on a donkey right there. Okay,

1042
01:08:36.640 --> 01:08:46.800
<v Speaker 1>so let's continue Mark eleven, verse four. So they went

1043
01:08:46.840 --> 01:08:49.079
<v Speaker 1>their way and found the colt tied to the door

1044
01:08:49.119 --> 01:08:52.800
<v Speaker 1>outside on the street, and they loosened it. But some

1045
01:08:52.880 --> 01:08:55.800
<v Speaker 1>of those who stood there said to them, what are

1046
01:08:55.840 --> 01:08:59.800
<v Speaker 1>you doing loosening the colt? And they spoke to them

1047
01:09:00.079 --> 01:09:03.159
<v Speaker 1>as Jesus had commanded. So they let them go, and

1048
01:09:03.199 --> 01:09:06.159
<v Speaker 1>they brought the cult to Jesus and threw their clothes

1049
01:09:06.199 --> 01:09:10.439
<v Speaker 1>on it, and he sat on it, and many spread

1050
01:09:10.439 --> 01:09:13.199
<v Speaker 1>their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy

1051
01:09:13.319 --> 01:09:15.880
<v Speaker 1>branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

1052
01:09:16.840 --> 01:09:21.199
<v Speaker 1>Then those who went before and those who follow cried out, saying,

1053
01:09:21.239 --> 01:09:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Hosannah blessed is he who comes in the name of

1054
01:09:24.720 --> 01:09:28.119
<v Speaker 1>the Lord Blessed is the kingdom of our father David,

1055
01:09:28.159 --> 01:09:31.479
<v Speaker 1>that comes in the name of the Lord Hosannah in

1056
01:09:31.520 --> 01:09:36.800
<v Speaker 1>the highest Hosannah, son of David. They were calling him

1057
01:09:36.840 --> 01:09:45.760
<v Speaker 1>the Messiah, and Jesus didn't correct them. Often Jesus would

1058
01:09:45.840 --> 01:09:50.199
<v Speaker 1>quiet those that were claiming that he was the Messiah before,

1059
01:09:50.239 --> 01:09:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, because what happened is the demons, right They

1060
01:09:53.159 --> 01:09:55.279
<v Speaker 1>like when he would cast out demons, they'd be like,

1061
01:09:55.319 --> 01:09:57.079
<v Speaker 1>Son of God, what do you want with me? And

1062
01:09:57.119 --> 01:10:00.520
<v Speaker 1>he would say, sh quiet, It wasn't time for it

1063
01:10:00.560 --> 01:10:03.720
<v Speaker 1>to be revealed. But this is the revealing right here

1064
01:10:04.560 --> 01:10:09.399
<v Speaker 1>of Jesus, you know, okay, with people saying that he's

1065
01:10:09.399 --> 01:10:17.199
<v Speaker 1>the Messiah, you know, that's what's happening. And this event

1066
01:10:18.359 --> 01:10:22.520
<v Speaker 1>was actually prophesied Jesus writing coming on at a donkey

1067
01:10:22.760 --> 01:10:25.159
<v Speaker 1>and and all this, this whole part right here is

1068
01:10:25.199 --> 01:10:29.760
<v Speaker 1>actually prophesied in the Book of Daniels six hundred years

1069
01:10:29.760 --> 01:10:34.279
<v Speaker 1>before this event. Daniel prophesied about this event. And this

1070
01:10:34.439 --> 01:10:37.800
<v Speaker 1>actually if you take and you you do, let's say

1071
01:10:37.840 --> 01:10:43.479
<v Speaker 1>you do you go on the calendar and you there's

1072
01:10:43.520 --> 01:10:45.479
<v Speaker 1>people that are way smarter than me that have done this,

1073
01:10:45.560 --> 01:10:51.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, And they counted up the exact time and everything,

1074
01:10:51.520 --> 01:10:53.960
<v Speaker 1>and it came to thirty two AD, which is exactly

1075
01:10:54.000 --> 01:11:00.239
<v Speaker 1>this moment. And this is Daniel nine twenty five. Okay,

1076
01:11:00.239 --> 01:11:04.600
<v Speaker 1>this is this is the prophecy six hundred years before

1077
01:11:04.640 --> 01:11:09.680
<v Speaker 1>this event actually happened. And it is it says, know

1078
01:11:10.319 --> 01:11:14.439
<v Speaker 1>therefore and understand that going that from the going forth

1079
01:11:14.560 --> 01:11:18.239
<v Speaker 1>of the command to restore the and build Jerusalem until

1080
01:11:18.279 --> 01:11:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Messiah the Prince, there shall be seventy weeks and sixty

1081
01:11:22.800 --> 01:11:27.359
<v Speaker 1>two weeks, seven weeks and sixty two weeks the streets

1082
01:11:27.359 --> 01:11:30.800
<v Speaker 1>shall be built again the wall, even in troublesome times.

1083
01:11:32.239 --> 01:11:36.760
<v Speaker 1>So this is a prophecy of Jesus of this right here,

1084
01:11:36.840 --> 01:11:42.880
<v Speaker 1>you know. And what I'd say is the seven the

1085
01:11:42.960 --> 01:11:47.159
<v Speaker 1>seven weeks and sixty two weeks that's actually going to

1086
01:11:47.239 --> 01:11:52.720
<v Speaker 1>be converted to years. And there is a depending on

1087
01:11:52.760 --> 01:11:58.880
<v Speaker 1>your eschatology, whether there's sixty nine weeks and then that

1088
01:11:59.119 --> 01:12:01.279
<v Speaker 1>one week is going to be you know, the seven

1089
01:12:01.359 --> 01:12:04.359
<v Speaker 1>year tribulation just depends on our eschatology. But just want

1090
01:12:04.359 --> 01:12:08.000
<v Speaker 1>to let you guys know that okay, And uh so

1091
01:12:08.239 --> 01:12:14.399
<v Speaker 1>it says, let's see where this is, because this is

1092
01:12:15.039 --> 01:12:27.079
<v Speaker 1>quoted from somewhere Blessed John three third. I wanted to

1093
01:12:27.119 --> 01:12:35.800
<v Speaker 1>see if so that's Mark eleven nine through ten, which

1094
01:12:35.840 --> 01:12:44.239
<v Speaker 1>we read, where is it coming from? Is it in

1095
01:12:44.319 --> 01:12:46.479
<v Speaker 1>the I just want to check this out, Okay, guys,

1096
01:12:46.520 --> 01:12:48.439
<v Speaker 1>Hosanna bless us he who comes in the name of

1097
01:12:48.479 --> 01:12:53.640
<v Speaker 1>the Lord, We jose a greatly daughter of Zion. Shout o,

1098
01:12:53.760 --> 01:12:56.560
<v Speaker 1>daughter of Jows, and behold your king is coming to Okay,

1099
01:12:56.560 --> 01:12:59.479
<v Speaker 1>writing a donkey, we already kind have talked about that.

1100
01:12:59.479 --> 01:13:01.880
<v Speaker 1>That's what Sunday is. To reflect the palms on your

1101
01:13:01.880 --> 01:13:04.720
<v Speaker 1>preprayed hearts will do, Okay, all right, I just want

1102
01:13:04.760 --> 01:13:07.399
<v Speaker 1>to go over that, Okay. So what they're saying here

1103
01:13:07.479 --> 01:13:09.880
<v Speaker 1>is that he is the Messiah. Okay, that he is

1104
01:13:09.920 --> 01:13:13.680
<v Speaker 1>the Christ, and he's okay with it. But I'm sure

1105
01:13:13.720 --> 01:13:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the religious leaders were going getting furious at this. Okay,

1106
01:13:18.920 --> 01:13:22.880
<v Speaker 1>my dogs are barking in the background. Hey, Aaron, what's up, brother?

1107
01:13:23.279 --> 01:13:28.079
<v Speaker 1>See that's the dogs. H and Jesus. Okay, we'll go

1108
01:13:28.119 --> 01:13:32.880
<v Speaker 1>back to Mark eleven eleven, and Jesus went into Jerusalem

1109
01:13:32.920 --> 01:13:36.319
<v Speaker 1>and into the temple. So when he had looked around

1110
01:13:37.119 --> 01:13:40.720
<v Speaker 1>at all the things. As the hour was already late,

1111
01:13:40.960 --> 01:13:46.039
<v Speaker 1>he went out to Bethany with the twelve the fig

1112
01:13:46.079 --> 01:13:50.880
<v Speaker 1>tree withered. Now the next this is going to be

1113
01:13:50.960 --> 01:13:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Mark eleven, verse twelve. Now the next day, when they

1114
01:13:54.000 --> 01:13:57.079
<v Speaker 1>had come out from Bethany, he was hungry and seeing

1115
01:13:57.119 --> 01:13:59.920
<v Speaker 1>from afar a fake tree having leaves, he went to

1116
01:13:59.880 --> 01:14:02.720
<v Speaker 1>see it, perhaps he would find something on it. When

1117
01:14:02.760 --> 01:14:05.720
<v Speaker 1>he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for

1118
01:14:05.880 --> 01:14:09.359
<v Speaker 1>it was not the season for figs. In response Jesus.

1119
01:14:09.439 --> 01:14:13.119
<v Speaker 1>In response, Jesus said, let no one eat fruit from

1120
01:14:13.159 --> 01:14:19.800
<v Speaker 1>you ever again. And his disciples heard it. So he

1121
01:14:19.880 --> 01:14:23.039
<v Speaker 1>found nothing but leaves, for it is not the season

1122
01:14:23.079 --> 01:14:25.800
<v Speaker 1>for figs. And response Jesus said, let no one eat

1123
01:14:25.880 --> 01:14:29.800
<v Speaker 1>fruit from you ever again, and his disciples heard it. Wow.

1124
01:14:30.039 --> 01:14:31.520
<v Speaker 1>On the next day he went and came out to

1125
01:14:31.520 --> 01:14:33.640
<v Speaker 1>beth and he was hungry and seeing it from far

1126
01:14:33.640 --> 01:14:37.079
<v Speaker 1>at fig tree having leaves, he went to see perhaps

1127
01:14:37.079 --> 01:14:39.319
<v Speaker 1>he would find something on it. When he came to it,

1128
01:14:39.359 --> 01:14:43.880
<v Speaker 1>he found nothing. Believes, I'm not sure what's happening here,

1129
01:14:44.399 --> 01:14:50.079
<v Speaker 1>but maybe Jesus was expecting fruit there and then saying

1130
01:14:50.079 --> 01:14:52.000
<v Speaker 1>that no one will eat fruit from you ever again,

1131
01:14:52.199 --> 01:14:55.079
<v Speaker 1>maybe he has the obviously he has the power to

1132
01:14:55.119 --> 01:14:59.119
<v Speaker 1>control whether the fruits come or not. It's very just

1133
01:14:59.239 --> 01:15:05.479
<v Speaker 1>interesting passes there. Then Mark put in there, Jesus cleanses

1134
01:15:05.520 --> 01:15:10.119
<v Speaker 1>the temple. Let's go ahead and read this. This is

1135
01:15:10.199 --> 01:15:15.720
<v Speaker 1>a kind of fascinating. And some people wouldn't expect this

1136
01:15:15.920 --> 01:15:21.159
<v Speaker 1>type of behavior from Jesus, right. They would say that

1137
01:15:21.279 --> 01:15:25.159
<v Speaker 1>Jesus is only filled with love, and that he is

1138
01:15:25.239 --> 01:15:27.960
<v Speaker 1>different than the God of the Old Testament. Some people

1139
01:15:28.000 --> 01:15:31.920
<v Speaker 1>try to say, but we'll see what happens when you

1140
01:15:33.479 --> 01:15:42.760
<v Speaker 1>disrespect a place of prayer. So Jesus cleanses the temple.

1141
01:15:44.640 --> 01:15:51.079
<v Speaker 1>So they came to Jerusalem. Then Jesus, this is going

1142
01:15:51.159 --> 01:15:53.840
<v Speaker 1>to be Mark eleven fifteen. So they came to Jerusalem,

1143
01:15:53.880 --> 01:15:56.039
<v Speaker 1>and Jesus went into the temple and began to drive

1144
01:15:56.079 --> 01:15:59.560
<v Speaker 1>out those who bought and sold in the temple, and

1145
01:15:59.680 --> 01:16:02.560
<v Speaker 1>over turned the tables of the money changers and the

1146
01:16:02.600 --> 01:16:05.800
<v Speaker 1>seats of those who sold doves. And he would not

1147
01:16:05.960 --> 01:16:09.640
<v Speaker 1>allow anyone to carry where's through the temple. And then

1148
01:16:09.680 --> 01:16:13.000
<v Speaker 1>he taught, saying to them, is it not written my

1149
01:16:13.119 --> 01:16:16.319
<v Speaker 1>house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations,

1150
01:16:16.560 --> 01:16:20.760
<v Speaker 1>But you have made it a den of thieves, and

1151
01:16:20.800 --> 01:16:23.479
<v Speaker 1>the scribes and the chief priests heard it and sought

1152
01:16:23.479 --> 01:16:26.560
<v Speaker 1>how they might destroy him, for they feared him because

1153
01:16:26.600 --> 01:16:30.159
<v Speaker 1>all the people were astonished at his teachings. When evening

1154
01:16:30.239 --> 01:16:34.039
<v Speaker 1>had come, he went out of the city. So let's

1155
01:16:34.079 --> 01:16:45.119
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and see what's going on here. So so

1156
01:16:45.720 --> 01:16:49.439
<v Speaker 1>what's happening here? Then Jesus went into the temple and

1157
01:16:49.439 --> 01:16:51.479
<v Speaker 1>began to drive out those who bought and sold in

1158
01:16:51.560 --> 01:16:53.720
<v Speaker 1>the temple, and overturned the tables of money changers and

1159
01:16:53.760 --> 01:16:56.279
<v Speaker 1>the seats of those who sold doves. It says, my

1160
01:16:56.319 --> 01:16:59.119
<v Speaker 1>house shall not be called the house shall be called

1161
01:16:59.119 --> 01:17:02.720
<v Speaker 1>the House of Prayer for all nations. But you have

1162
01:17:02.800 --> 01:17:05.840
<v Speaker 1>made it a dentity. So what was happening is right

1163
01:17:05.880 --> 01:17:08.239
<v Speaker 1>in front of the temple, they made it like some

1164
01:17:08.359 --> 01:17:13.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of marketplace, okay. And what that portion was for

1165
01:17:14.560 --> 01:17:17.760
<v Speaker 1>was supposed to be a house of prayer. It was

1166
01:17:17.760 --> 01:17:21.840
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be where the gentiles came. And that's why

1167
01:17:21.880 --> 01:17:24.680
<v Speaker 1>it says the House of Prayer for all nations. And

1168
01:17:24.800 --> 01:17:27.720
<v Speaker 1>what was happening is the gentiles would come from far away,

1169
01:17:28.439 --> 01:17:31.600
<v Speaker 1>and they would not want to bring an animal all

1170
01:17:31.640 --> 01:17:34.239
<v Speaker 1>that way, so they would come and they would purchase

1171
01:17:34.279 --> 01:17:37.760
<v Speaker 1>an animal and they would take it into the temple

1172
01:17:38.399 --> 01:17:41.119
<v Speaker 1>and these priests were saying, oh, there's a blemish on

1173
01:17:41.119 --> 01:17:42.640
<v Speaker 1>this one, you need to buy another one. They would

1174
01:17:42.640 --> 01:17:45.920
<v Speaker 1>go and buy another one. And it says the money changers.

1175
01:17:46.239 --> 01:17:49.800
<v Speaker 1>The reason why it says that is because these people

1176
01:17:49.840 --> 01:17:53.119
<v Speaker 1>would be coming with money from like, you know, another country,

1177
01:17:53.640 --> 01:17:56.199
<v Speaker 1>and then they would have to exchange the money into

1178
01:17:56.319 --> 01:18:02.920
<v Speaker 1>temple money. So that's what was happening there. So that's

1179
01:18:02.960 --> 01:18:05.600
<v Speaker 1>what that The priests were basically saying, there's a blemish

1180
01:18:05.640 --> 01:18:07.560
<v Speaker 1>on this lamb, I need you to buy another one.

1181
01:18:07.600 --> 01:18:10.880
<v Speaker 1>They would have to buy another one. There was money exchanging.

1182
01:18:11.199 --> 01:18:15.439
<v Speaker 1>There was a lot of thievery happening, and a lot

1183
01:18:15.439 --> 01:18:19.119
<v Speaker 1>of things that Jesus was not happy with. And Jesus knows.

1184
01:18:19.520 --> 01:18:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Jesus understands what's happening, and he can see your heart

1185
01:18:25.319 --> 01:18:30.439
<v Speaker 1>and he noticed that they were doing wrong. And he's saying,

1186
01:18:30.680 --> 01:18:33.279
<v Speaker 1>is it not written my how house shall be called

1187
01:18:33.279 --> 01:18:35.640
<v Speaker 1>a house of prayer for all nations? But you have

1188
01:18:35.840 --> 01:18:47.760
<v Speaker 1>made it a den of thieves. Okay, he's calling them out.

1189
01:18:49.359 --> 01:18:54.560
<v Speaker 1>And it says that he overturned the tables, which means

1190
01:18:54.560 --> 01:19:04.680
<v Speaker 1>he is upset flipping the tables Joel Oldstein. You see

1191
01:19:04.880 --> 01:19:11.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of you other prosperity gospel pastors. Hey, you

1192
01:19:11.720 --> 01:19:15.680
<v Speaker 1>see like it's the prayer or that the church is

1193
01:19:15.720 --> 01:19:20.000
<v Speaker 1>not meant for you to become financially wealthy. And you know,

1194
01:19:20.039 --> 01:19:21.720
<v Speaker 1>you guys got to understand that. I'm not trying to

1195
01:19:22.359 --> 01:19:25.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to sit here talk about that, but

1196
01:19:26.600 --> 01:19:31.880
<v Speaker 1>this is really reminds me of this part. Pastors like that,

1197
01:19:33.560 --> 01:19:38.039
<v Speaker 1>Let's continue the lesson of the withered fig tree. So

1198
01:19:38.920 --> 01:19:41.239
<v Speaker 1>now we actually get that part explained because I didn't

1199
01:19:41.319 --> 01:19:43.880
<v Speaker 1>understand what was happening there. Now in the morning, as

1200
01:19:43.920 --> 01:19:46.239
<v Speaker 1>they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up

1201
01:19:46.279 --> 01:19:50.079
<v Speaker 1>from its roots, and Peter remembering him, saying, Rabbi, look

1202
01:19:50.119 --> 01:19:53.600
<v Speaker 1>the fig tree which you cursed, is withered away. So

1203
01:19:53.800 --> 01:19:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Jesus answered and said to them have faith in God.

1204
01:19:58.000 --> 01:20:00.439
<v Speaker 1>For as surely I say to you, whoever says to

1205
01:20:00.520 --> 01:20:03.600
<v Speaker 1>this mountain be removed and be cast into the sea.

1206
01:20:03.680 --> 01:20:06.000
<v Speaker 1>And it does not doubt, and does not doubt in

1207
01:20:06.039 --> 01:20:09.920
<v Speaker 1>his heart, but believes those things he says will be

1208
01:20:10.800 --> 01:20:14.920
<v Speaker 1>says will be done. He will have whatever he says. Therefore,

1209
01:20:14.960 --> 01:20:17.560
<v Speaker 1>I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray,

1210
01:20:18.119 --> 01:20:22.680
<v Speaker 1>believe when you receive them, and you will have them.

1211
01:20:23.640 --> 01:20:31.880
<v Speaker 1>So obviously this passage is Jesus speaking to his disciples

1212
01:20:31.880 --> 01:20:36.640
<v Speaker 1>first of all, right, but it does say, I say

1213
01:20:36.680 --> 01:20:40.720
<v Speaker 1>to you, whoever says to this mountain. So if we

1214
01:20:40.880 --> 01:20:45.880
<v Speaker 1>had true faith like Jesus has, why he's living on earth.

1215
01:20:46.399 --> 01:20:50.279
<v Speaker 1>Obviously he came from the Father. He knows for a

1216
01:20:50.760 --> 01:20:54.720
<v Speaker 1>fact that God is real, so his faith is. And

1217
01:20:54.760 --> 01:20:57.520
<v Speaker 1>plus he is God in the flesh. So obviously his

1218
01:20:57.600 --> 01:21:00.640
<v Speaker 1>faith as a man is going to be better than

1219
01:21:00.680 --> 01:21:05.600
<v Speaker 1>everybody on earth. So if he says, mountain move, it's

1220
01:21:05.640 --> 01:21:09.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna move. But see it says, but does not doubt

1221
01:21:09.880 --> 01:21:12.279
<v Speaker 1>in his heart. See, we could say things and then

1222
01:21:12.279 --> 01:21:14.640
<v Speaker 1>we doubt it. We could say things that we have

1223
01:21:14.680 --> 01:21:17.239
<v Speaker 1>faith and we actually doubt it. We can ask for

1224
01:21:17.359 --> 01:21:21.520
<v Speaker 1>things in Jesus's name and we doubt it. We have

1225
01:21:21.880 --> 01:21:25.399
<v Speaker 1>this little doubt in our hearts, and the devil will

1226
01:21:25.439 --> 01:21:28.520
<v Speaker 1>expose that to you, and that doubt will turn into

1227
01:21:28.600 --> 01:21:31.680
<v Speaker 1>bigger doubt. And you know, it's it's just, it is

1228
01:21:31.720 --> 01:21:35.920
<v Speaker 1>what it is. But so is it that you anything?

1229
01:21:36.000 --> 01:21:42.800
<v Speaker 1>You want anything? Well? First John fifteen fourteen through fifteen.

1230
01:21:43.039 --> 01:21:48.399
<v Speaker 1>Our First John five fourteen through fifteen kind of expounds

1231
01:21:48.439 --> 01:21:52.680
<v Speaker 1>on this. Now, this is the confidence that we have

1232
01:21:52.800 --> 01:21:57.640
<v Speaker 1>in him that if we ask anything according to his will,

1233
01:21:58.600 --> 01:22:01.880
<v Speaker 1>he hears us. And if we know that he hears

1234
01:22:01.960 --> 01:22:04.680
<v Speaker 1>us whatever we ask, we know that we have the

1235
01:22:04.800 --> 01:22:12.239
<v Speaker 1>petitions that we have asked of him. So yes, we

1236
01:22:12.279 --> 01:22:18.199
<v Speaker 1>will receive them and will have them. But according to John,

1237
01:22:18.640 --> 01:22:24.279
<v Speaker 1>it's according to his will, God's will. Okay, So good

1238
01:22:24.359 --> 01:22:28.359
<v Speaker 1>thing that anything you ask for God doesn't give you,

1239
01:22:30.720 --> 01:22:34.319
<v Speaker 1>because if then I might be dead, because I'm sure

1240
01:22:34.319 --> 01:22:38.199
<v Speaker 1>women in the past that I've dated probably pray, messed ump,

1241
01:22:38.239 --> 01:22:40.199
<v Speaker 1>screwed them over, and they probably want to be dead.

1242
01:22:40.560 --> 01:22:42.319
<v Speaker 1>So let's say they prayed, or I wish him to

1243
01:22:42.359 --> 01:22:52.039
<v Speaker 1>be dead, Oh, just dead, you know whatever. So you

1244
01:22:52.079 --> 01:22:55.399
<v Speaker 1>know it's clarified later that it's whatever. You know, it

1245
01:22:55.520 --> 01:23:00.640
<v Speaker 1>asks me God's will, right, And Jesus even says in

1246
01:23:01.760 --> 01:23:06.600
<v Speaker 1>his prayer that your will be done, speaking to God

1247
01:23:06.680 --> 01:23:11.479
<v Speaker 1>the Father. Right. If it's not in the will of God,

1248
01:23:11.520 --> 01:23:13.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not gonna happen. Right, So it's even saying that

1249
01:23:13.960 --> 01:23:16.960
<v Speaker 1>here in one John fifteen or five, fourteenth through fifteen.

1250
01:23:18.840 --> 01:23:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Now let's continue. That's good. We might be able to finish. Okay, yeah,

1251
01:23:30.920 --> 01:23:35.760
<v Speaker 1>all right, let's go Mark eleven, verse twenty five, and

1252
01:23:35.840 --> 01:23:40.479
<v Speaker 1>whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone,

1253
01:23:40.720 --> 01:23:44.359
<v Speaker 1>forgive him or her. Okay, I'm adding that it says

1254
01:23:44.399 --> 01:23:48.119
<v Speaker 1>forgive him that your father in heaven may also forgive

1255
01:23:48.119 --> 01:23:52.000
<v Speaker 1>you your trustpass. But if you do not forgive, neither

1256
01:23:52.039 --> 01:23:56.560
<v Speaker 1>will your father in heaven forgive your trustpasses. So what

1257
01:23:56.600 --> 01:23:59.199
<v Speaker 1>does that mean? Does that mean that if you don't

1258
01:23:59.199 --> 01:24:03.119
<v Speaker 1>forgive your brother that you're going to hell? No, Like,

1259
01:24:03.199 --> 01:24:07.479
<v Speaker 1>our relationship with God is not based on you know,

1260
01:24:08.000 --> 01:24:10.000
<v Speaker 1>one time events that we do and then we're like

1261
01:24:10.119 --> 01:24:12.720
<v Speaker 1>unsaved and then we have to get resaved. No, it's

1262
01:24:12.720 --> 01:24:15.039
<v Speaker 1>the same thing as like me and my wife, Like

1263
01:24:15.640 --> 01:24:18.560
<v Speaker 1>if I do something wrong to her, she doesn't divorce

1264
01:24:18.640 --> 01:24:21.159
<v Speaker 1>me right away. No, if I do something wrong to

1265
01:24:21.199 --> 01:24:28.359
<v Speaker 1>her then then i'm I'm she Obviously I have to

1266
01:24:28.399 --> 01:24:31.319
<v Speaker 1>go and apologize to her and then we make up.

1267
01:24:31.680 --> 01:24:34.760
<v Speaker 1>But we don't. You know, God is not like you

1268
01:24:34.840 --> 01:24:37.640
<v Speaker 1>do something wrong to him. You sin, and then God

1269
01:24:37.720 --> 01:24:40.760
<v Speaker 1>is like boom, You're done, and then you have to

1270
01:24:40.840 --> 01:24:44.960
<v Speaker 1>like do these works to join his trust again. But

1271
01:24:45.079 --> 01:24:47.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, your walk with God's going to be little sideways.

1272
01:24:48.159 --> 01:24:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Your prayer life's gonna be sideways. There's gonna be the

1273
01:24:50.880 --> 01:24:54.199
<v Speaker 1>things sideways when you sin against God, because it separates

1274
01:24:54.239 --> 01:24:58.640
<v Speaker 1>you from God when you're not only it separates you

1275
01:24:58.680 --> 01:25:05.039
<v Speaker 1>from God. Right. But whenever you stand praying, if you

1276
01:25:05.119 --> 01:25:11.760
<v Speaker 1>have anything against anyone, forgive him. Right. So, what Jesus

1277
01:25:11.840 --> 01:25:17.159
<v Speaker 1>is saying here is, how do you expect God to

1278
01:25:17.239 --> 01:25:22.840
<v Speaker 1>forgive you if you can't even forgive your brother that's

1279
01:25:22.840 --> 01:25:26.319
<v Speaker 1>on a physical level, like spiritually, how you're supposed to

1280
01:25:26.319 --> 01:25:32.439
<v Speaker 1>get forgiven if you can't even forgive your brother or sister, right, right,

1281
01:25:32.640 --> 01:25:34.760
<v Speaker 1>and your truspasses what I thought I think would be

1282
01:25:34.800 --> 01:25:41.920
<v Speaker 1>like sin against him? Right? And what is this? This

1283
01:25:42.000 --> 01:25:46.119
<v Speaker 1>is just straight knowledge on how we should live. Jesus

1284
01:25:46.159 --> 01:25:49.039
<v Speaker 1>is just telling you just to take away all the

1285
01:25:49.199 --> 01:25:52.000
<v Speaker 1>bad roots in your heart and all the all the

1286
01:25:52.119 --> 01:25:56.279
<v Speaker 1>thorns and all all that stuff, all that vinegar, get

1287
01:25:56.319 --> 01:26:03.640
<v Speaker 1>it out of you. Forgive. We always ask God, you know,

1288
01:26:03.720 --> 01:26:05.520
<v Speaker 1>we come to God like probably God, in the name

1289
01:26:05.560 --> 01:26:07.680
<v Speaker 1>of Jesus, please forgive me for my sins in the past,

1290
01:26:07.760 --> 01:26:10.159
<v Speaker 1>the future, the present. Bring him in the deepest part

1291
01:26:10.159 --> 01:26:12.600
<v Speaker 1>of the ocean. Please forgive me. But then all of

1292
01:26:12.640 --> 01:26:16.239
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, someone you know that you didn't like in

1293
01:26:16.239 --> 01:26:18.439
<v Speaker 1>the past wherever your haven't forgave them yet and you're

1294
01:26:18.479 --> 01:26:23.319
<v Speaker 1>still holding a grudge. Just let it go. Let it go.

1295
01:26:23.520 --> 01:26:25.119
<v Speaker 1>Something that your mom did to you a long time,

1296
01:26:25.439 --> 01:26:29.119
<v Speaker 1>Let it go, something that your dad did. Let it go,

1297
01:26:29.279 --> 01:26:31.680
<v Speaker 1>something that someone did to you, and just let it go.

1298
01:26:31.840 --> 01:26:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Forgive them, Let God handle it. Take all that and

1299
01:26:36.960 --> 01:26:41.079
<v Speaker 1>put it on the altar, and say, God, you handle it,

1300
01:26:41.960 --> 01:26:45.960
<v Speaker 1>because I cannot bear this. I forgive them. Please take

1301
01:26:46.000 --> 01:26:48.159
<v Speaker 1>all these things that have done to me, and you

1302
01:26:48.840 --> 01:26:51.560
<v Speaker 1>take it. He is there to receive that stuff and

1303
01:26:51.720 --> 01:26:55.840
<v Speaker 1>toss it out. You can never change the past, but

1304
01:26:55.960 --> 01:27:03.279
<v Speaker 1>you can change your future, Okay, So Mark eleven, verse

1305
01:27:03.319 --> 01:27:10.279
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven. Jesus's authority is questioned. Then they came to Jerusalem.

1306
01:27:10.279 --> 01:27:13.000
<v Speaker 1>They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking

1307
01:27:13.039 --> 01:27:16.720
<v Speaker 1>in the temple, the chief priest describes, the elders came

1308
01:27:16.760 --> 01:27:19.560
<v Speaker 1>to him, and they said to him, by what authority

1309
01:27:19.600 --> 01:27:23.720
<v Speaker 1>are you doing these things? Who gave you this authority

1310
01:27:23.760 --> 01:27:29.760
<v Speaker 1>to do these things? But Jesus answered and said to them,

1311
01:27:29.880 --> 01:27:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I also ask you that one I also will ask

1312
01:27:34.920 --> 01:27:39.000
<v Speaker 1>you one question. Then answer me, and I will tell

1313
01:27:39.039 --> 01:27:42.720
<v Speaker 1>you by what authority I do these things. The Baptism

1314
01:27:42.760 --> 01:27:48.359
<v Speaker 1>of John, Was it from heaven or from then? Answer me?

1315
01:27:50.720 --> 01:27:54.000
<v Speaker 1>And they reason among themselves, saying, if we say from heaven,

1316
01:27:54.560 --> 01:27:59.520
<v Speaker 1>we will say when, then when then do you not

1317
01:27:59.640 --> 01:28:03.000
<v Speaker 1>believe him? But if we say from men? They feared

1318
01:28:03.039 --> 01:28:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the people, we're all counted John to have been a prophet. Indeed,

1319
01:28:09.079 --> 01:28:11.640
<v Speaker 1>for they answered Jesus and said, we do not know.

1320
01:28:12.039 --> 01:28:14.279
<v Speaker 1>And Jesus answered and said to them, neither will I

1321
01:28:14.319 --> 01:28:18.279
<v Speaker 1>tell you by what authority I do these things. See,

1322
01:28:18.319 --> 01:28:24.239
<v Speaker 1>these Pharisees were concentrating on people. They wanted to impress

1323
01:28:24.359 --> 01:28:28.079
<v Speaker 1>the people. They didn't want to impress God in the flesh,

1324
01:28:28.119 --> 01:28:34.439
<v Speaker 1>their Messiah, who's standing right in front of them, you see.

1325
01:28:34.680 --> 01:28:39.760
<v Speaker 1>You see they didn't want to cause an uproar because

1326
01:28:39.760 --> 01:28:42.119
<v Speaker 1>all the people were thought that John was a prophet.

1327
01:28:42.199 --> 01:28:44.520
<v Speaker 1>You see, they're trying to impress the people, and when

1328
01:28:44.520 --> 01:28:50.319
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to put Jesus in a corner. Okay, they're

1329
01:28:50.319 --> 01:28:53.199
<v Speaker 1>trying to corner him, But Jesus always has the perfect

1330
01:28:53.399 --> 01:28:57.000
<v Speaker 1>answers to their questions because he knows before they're even

1331
01:28:57.039 --> 01:29:05.760
<v Speaker 1>going to ask it, and he doesn't they don't have

1332
01:29:05.800 --> 01:29:10.399
<v Speaker 1>a right to ask him that question. Anyways. Okay, I

1333
01:29:10.399 --> 01:29:14.600
<v Speaker 1>think we have about twenty minutes. Okay, yeah, this is

1334
01:29:14.640 --> 01:29:19.199
<v Speaker 1>a good uh. We could probably get through Mark twelve.

1335
01:29:22.039 --> 01:29:26.359
<v Speaker 1>The Parable of the Wicked buying Dressers. This is different

1336
01:29:26.399 --> 01:29:29.479
<v Speaker 1>than the one that that I read earlier from Matthew. Okay,

1337
01:29:29.520 --> 01:29:40.439
<v Speaker 1>this is a wicked buying dressers. Then he began to

1338
01:29:40.520 --> 01:29:45.560
<v Speaker 1>speak to them in parables. A man planeted a vineyard

1339
01:29:45.840 --> 01:29:48.680
<v Speaker 1>and set ahead around it, dug a place for the

1340
01:29:48.720 --> 01:29:52.279
<v Speaker 1>wine that built the tower. Then he leased it to

1341
01:29:53.039 --> 01:29:57.560
<v Speaker 1>buying dressers and went into a far country. Now at

1342
01:29:57.640 --> 01:30:00.359
<v Speaker 1>vintage time, he sent a servant to the vine dress

1343
01:30:01.079 --> 01:30:03.600
<v Speaker 1>that he might receive some of the fruit of the

1344
01:30:03.680 --> 01:30:07.239
<v Speaker 1>vineyard from the vine dressers. And they took him and

1345
01:30:07.520 --> 01:30:11.600
<v Speaker 1>beat him, and sent him away empty handed. Again he

1346
01:30:11.720 --> 01:30:15.800
<v Speaker 1>sent them another servant, and at him. They threw stones,

1347
01:30:16.159 --> 01:30:19.640
<v Speaker 1>wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.

1348
01:30:20.000 --> 01:30:24.920
<v Speaker 1>And again he sent another and him. They killed many others,

1349
01:30:25.000 --> 01:30:29.279
<v Speaker 1>beating some and killing some. Therefore, still having one son,

1350
01:30:29.399 --> 01:30:33.399
<v Speaker 1>his beloved, he also sent him to them last, saying,

1351
01:30:33.399 --> 01:30:38.319
<v Speaker 1>they will respect my son. But those vine dressers said

1352
01:30:38.399 --> 01:30:42.800
<v Speaker 1>among themselves, this is the heir. Come let us kill him,

1353
01:30:43.239 --> 01:30:46.439
<v Speaker 1>and the inheritance will be ours. So they took him,

1354
01:30:46.960 --> 01:30:51.960
<v Speaker 1>killed him and cast him out of the vineyard. So

1355
01:30:55.439 --> 01:30:59.760
<v Speaker 1>the parable was talking about the prophets in the beginning. Okay,

1356
01:31:00.199 --> 01:31:05.880
<v Speaker 1>the prophets. God sent these prophets, and they took him

1357
01:31:05.960 --> 01:31:09.520
<v Speaker 1>and beat him. Send them away empty handed, they said.

1358
01:31:09.640 --> 01:31:13.279
<v Speaker 1>And then God sent another prophet, and at him they

1359
01:31:13.319 --> 01:31:16.399
<v Speaker 1>threw stones, wounded in his head. Send them away shamefully

1360
01:31:17.079 --> 01:31:20.720
<v Speaker 1>again another prophet. They killed them, many others, beating them

1361
01:31:20.800 --> 01:31:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and killing some. And then all of a sudden God

1362
01:31:24.600 --> 01:31:31.039
<v Speaker 1>sends his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. Therefore, having one

1363
01:31:31.119 --> 01:31:34.439
<v Speaker 1>son is beloved, which that's what Jesus is. He also

1364
01:31:34.520 --> 01:31:39.199
<v Speaker 1>sent him last, saying they will respect my son. But

1365
01:31:39.439 --> 01:31:43.319
<v Speaker 1>those vine dressers said among themselves, this is the heir. Come,

1366
01:31:43.439 --> 01:31:45.159
<v Speaker 1>let us kill him and the inheritance will be our.

1367
01:31:45.279 --> 01:31:47.039
<v Speaker 1>So they took him and killed him and cast him

1368
01:31:47.079 --> 01:31:51.479
<v Speaker 1>out of the vineyard. You see, they don't get it

1369
01:31:51.560 --> 01:31:57.960
<v Speaker 1>with their hard hearts, and that the Jews didn't get it.

1370
01:31:58.960 --> 01:32:05.199
<v Speaker 1>Why do you think God opened to the gentiles. The

1371
01:32:05.319 --> 01:32:08.479
<v Speaker 1>Jews never got it. They don't get it to this day.

1372
01:32:10.279 --> 01:32:13.840
<v Speaker 1>They don't get that Jesus the Messiah, has already came

1373
01:32:14.640 --> 01:32:19.880
<v Speaker 1>and that he's coming back. They don't get it to

1374
01:32:19.920 --> 01:32:22.359
<v Speaker 1>this day, they think that Jesus was just a man

1375
01:32:22.600 --> 01:32:26.840
<v Speaker 1>that died on the cross and got crucified. That good

1376
01:32:26.840 --> 01:32:32.159
<v Speaker 1>teacher Rabbi the muslims, ah, he's a prophet. He got

1377
01:32:32.159 --> 01:32:34.039
<v Speaker 1>taken up to heaven. He's gonna come back. You know,

1378
01:32:36.279 --> 01:32:41.520
<v Speaker 1>they're not understanding what he is. Jesus has to speak

1379
01:32:41.520 --> 01:32:46.840
<v Speaker 1>in these parables. Therefore, now I'm back to Mark twelve,

1380
01:32:47.039 --> 01:32:50.359
<v Speaker 1>verse nine. Therefore, what will the owner of the vineyard do?

1381
01:32:50.920 --> 01:32:56.319
<v Speaker 1>He will come and destroy the vine dressers. Watch out,

1382
01:32:57.159 --> 01:33:02.439
<v Speaker 1>israel watch out those that are rejecting God. Watch out

1383
01:33:02.560 --> 01:33:06.960
<v Speaker 1>for those that are that are atheists, and give the

1384
01:33:07.039 --> 01:33:10.680
<v Speaker 1>vineyard to others. Have you not read the scripture? Now

1385
01:33:11.199 --> 01:33:14.880
<v Speaker 1>tell me this, what does that mean? Give the vineyard

1386
01:33:14.880 --> 01:33:23.680
<v Speaker 1>to others. Give it to who gentiles instead of the Israelites?

1387
01:33:26.720 --> 01:33:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Whoa Have you not read this scripture, which is going

1388
01:33:32.920 --> 01:33:36.520
<v Speaker 1>to be Psalms one eighteen twenty two through twenty three.

1389
01:33:36.920 --> 01:33:41.439
<v Speaker 1>The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.

1390
01:33:41.880 --> 01:33:46.239
<v Speaker 1>This was the Lord's doing and it and it's marvelous

1391
01:33:46.279 --> 01:33:48.279
<v Speaker 1>in our eyes, are amazing in our eyes. It's another

1392
01:33:48.279 --> 01:33:50.880
<v Speaker 1>way to say that that is going to be Psalms

1393
01:33:50.920 --> 01:33:53.359
<v Speaker 1>one eighteen twenty two through twenty three. I'll read it

1394
01:33:53.359 --> 01:33:56.199
<v Speaker 1>to you, guys. The stone which the builder's rejected has

1395
01:33:56.199 --> 01:33:58.960
<v Speaker 1>become the chief cornerstone. This was the Lord's doing. It

1396
01:33:59.039 --> 01:34:05.000
<v Speaker 1>is marvelous in our eyes. Okay, the cornerstone really interesting.

1397
01:34:07.720 --> 01:34:11.199
<v Speaker 1>Where have we heard of a cornerstone before? Well? In

1398
01:34:11.319 --> 01:34:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Acts four, verses eleven through twelve, Peter's talking about it.

1399
01:34:15.880 --> 01:34:20.880
<v Speaker 1>He says, this is the stone which was rejected by you, Builthers,

1400
01:34:21.279 --> 01:34:25.960
<v Speaker 1>which has become the chief cornerstone. Nor is there salvation

1401
01:34:26.159 --> 01:34:30.600
<v Speaker 1>in any other For there is no other name under

1402
01:34:30.760 --> 01:34:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Heaven given among men by which we must be saved.

1403
01:34:36.920 --> 01:34:46.279
<v Speaker 1>Jesus is the cornerstone. Will continue. This is going to

1404
01:34:46.319 --> 01:34:49.199
<v Speaker 1>be one Peter two verses four through eight. This is

1405
01:34:49.239 --> 01:34:53.800
<v Speaker 1>also talking about Jesus being a cornerstone coming to him.

1406
01:34:53.840 --> 01:34:58.119
<v Speaker 1>This is Peter talking again, Peter coming to him as

1407
01:34:58.159 --> 01:35:02.560
<v Speaker 1>to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen

1408
01:35:02.600 --> 01:35:07.319
<v Speaker 1>by God and precious you. Also as living stones, are

1409
01:35:07.359 --> 01:35:11.399
<v Speaker 1>being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to

1410
01:35:11.439 --> 01:35:16.279
<v Speaker 1>offer up spiritual sacrifice succeptible to God through Jesus Christ. Therefore,

1411
01:35:17.000 --> 01:35:20.279
<v Speaker 1>it is also contained in the scripture. Behold, I lay

1412
01:35:20.560 --> 01:35:26.640
<v Speaker 1>a Zion. In Zion a chief cornerstone elect precious, and

1413
01:35:26.760 --> 01:35:30.039
<v Speaker 1>he who believes on him will by no means be

1414
01:35:30.119 --> 01:35:34.640
<v Speaker 1>put to shame. Therefore, to you who believe he is precious,

1415
01:35:35.119 --> 01:35:37.800
<v Speaker 1>but to those who are disobedient, the stone which the

1416
01:35:37.840 --> 01:35:41.600
<v Speaker 1>builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone, and a stone

1417
01:35:41.640 --> 01:35:46.119
<v Speaker 1>of stumbling and a rock of offense. They stumble, being

1418
01:35:46.199 --> 01:35:50.159
<v Speaker 1>disobedient to the word to which they were also appointed.

1419
01:35:52.960 --> 01:36:03.479
<v Speaker 1>So Jesus is that chief cornerstone which they rejected. Oops,

1420
01:36:03.680 --> 01:36:06.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, I think it had dropped something grabbed that

1421
01:36:06.520 --> 01:36:11.000
<v Speaker 1>really quick. All right, here we go. Now we're at

1422
01:36:11.479 --> 01:36:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Mark twelve versus Verse twelve. Will continue. And they sought

1423
01:36:16.640 --> 01:36:19.840
<v Speaker 1>to lay hands on him, but feared the multitude, for

1424
01:36:20.000 --> 01:36:24.760
<v Speaker 1>they knew he had spoken the parable against them. See

1425
01:36:24.760 --> 01:36:30.960
<v Speaker 1>they knew the Pharisees, the scribes, the statuties. They knew

1426
01:36:31.640 --> 01:36:35.439
<v Speaker 1>that he spoke that against them. And they left him

1427
01:36:35.520 --> 01:36:44.840
<v Speaker 1>and went away. Wow, so that must have enraged them,

1428
01:36:44.840 --> 01:36:48.920
<v Speaker 1>because now he say that he's he's the he's the Messiah.

1429
01:36:49.000 --> 01:36:53.359
<v Speaker 1>He's the one that they're rejecting. And they're seeing that

1430
01:36:53.399 --> 01:36:56.680
<v Speaker 1>he's got quite an audience and quite a following here,

1431
01:36:57.359 --> 01:37:00.239
<v Speaker 1>and they're doing it again. They're trying to impress men

1432
01:37:00.800 --> 01:37:09.880
<v Speaker 1>instead of trying to impress God. See their hearts. Mark twelve,

1433
01:37:10.159 --> 01:37:13.960
<v Speaker 1>verse thirteen. The Pharisees, is it lawful to pay taxes

1434
01:37:13.960 --> 01:37:18.520
<v Speaker 1>to Caesar? Before we start, Let's just you know, at

1435
01:37:18.560 --> 01:37:22.600
<v Speaker 1>this point, you know, in the in the time they

1436
01:37:22.600 --> 01:37:25.840
<v Speaker 1>have been paying taxes for like twenty five years, some

1437
01:37:25.920 --> 01:37:28.640
<v Speaker 1>of them didn't feel it was right to pay taxes.

1438
01:37:29.199 --> 01:37:31.159
<v Speaker 1>Some of them felt like it was okay to pay

1439
01:37:31.199 --> 01:37:35.560
<v Speaker 1>taxes to Rome. Okay. So it was kind of a

1440
01:37:35.600 --> 01:37:40.560
<v Speaker 1>hot topic, one of those topics that they're trying to

1441
01:37:41.000 --> 01:37:46.399
<v Speaker 1>have Jesus slip up right here and cause contention between

1442
01:37:46.520 --> 01:37:51.600
<v Speaker 1>him and those that say not to pay taxes. It's

1443
01:37:51.640 --> 01:37:56.199
<v Speaker 1>like a topic that you know, you stand in a

1444
01:37:56.239 --> 01:38:01.640
<v Speaker 1>place and start talking about something that's like that's offensive

1445
01:38:01.680 --> 01:38:03.520
<v Speaker 1>to some and not, you know, to others. So just

1446
01:38:04.439 --> 01:38:08.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of, like I said, a hot topic, and the

1447
01:38:09.000 --> 01:38:12.239
<v Speaker 1>Pharisees knew that, and they were like, hmm, we got them.

1448
01:38:12.439 --> 01:38:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's see what Jesus says, Mark twelve, verse thirteen. Then

1449
01:38:18.039 --> 01:38:20.800
<v Speaker 1>they said to him, some of the Pharisees and Herodians,

1450
01:38:20.840 --> 01:38:25.079
<v Speaker 1>to catch him in his words. When they had come,

1451
01:38:25.239 --> 01:38:27.560
<v Speaker 1>they said to him teacher. We know that you are

1452
01:38:27.680 --> 01:38:33.359
<v Speaker 1>true and care about no one, or you do not

1453
01:38:33.520 --> 01:38:35.840
<v Speaker 1>regard this person of men, but teach the way of

1454
01:38:35.880 --> 01:38:39.520
<v Speaker 1>God in truth. Is it lawful to be taxes to Caesar?

1455
01:38:39.720 --> 01:38:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Or not shall we pay? Or shall we not pay?

1456
01:38:44.359 --> 01:38:49.600
<v Speaker 1>But he, knowing that hypocrisy, said to them, why do

1457
01:38:49.680 --> 01:38:52.880
<v Speaker 1>you test me? Bring me a dinaris that I may

1458
01:38:52.960 --> 01:38:56.079
<v Speaker 1>see it. So they brought it, and he said to them,

1459
01:38:57.079 --> 01:39:00.960
<v Speaker 1>whose image and inscription is this? And they said, Caesars.

1460
01:39:02.079 --> 01:39:05.159
<v Speaker 1>And Jesus said to them, render to Caesar the things

1461
01:39:05.159 --> 01:39:08.439
<v Speaker 1>that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.

1462
01:39:11.239 --> 01:39:13.880
<v Speaker 1>And they marveled at him. They were amazed at him

1463
01:39:15.039 --> 01:39:20.960
<v Speaker 1>because of that answer. But you see, like I said,

1464
01:39:21.000 --> 01:39:23.880
<v Speaker 1>he can. He already knows what to say, and he

1465
01:39:23.880 --> 01:39:26.800
<v Speaker 1>already knows what they're trying to say. He already knows

1466
01:39:26.840 --> 01:39:29.840
<v Speaker 1>what their intentions are. He already knows that they're trying

1467
01:39:29.880 --> 01:39:33.960
<v Speaker 1>to trap him. He already knows the emotions of the Herodians,

1468
01:39:34.640 --> 01:39:38.039
<v Speaker 1>the Pharisees, the ones that don't want to pay taxes.

1469
01:39:38.520 --> 01:39:43.199
<v Speaker 1>He knows. But what he's saying, it's safe for everybody.

1470
01:39:44.600 --> 01:39:48.399
<v Speaker 1>Render to Caesar things that are Caesar's and to God

1471
01:39:48.439 --> 01:39:52.680
<v Speaker 1>the things that are God. See, understand that Rome if

1472
01:39:52.680 --> 01:39:55.319
<v Speaker 1>he starts, if he says not to pay taxes, he

1473
01:39:55.359 --> 01:40:00.239
<v Speaker 1>could cause an uproar, and he could cause him to

1474
01:40:00.399 --> 01:40:05.680
<v Speaker 1>die faster than what then what God would want. Also

1475
01:40:05.720 --> 01:40:09.520
<v Speaker 1>he would be against the Romans, and they would they

1476
01:40:09.560 --> 01:40:13.640
<v Speaker 1>would probably, like I said, snatch him up way faster.

1477
01:40:17.399 --> 01:40:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Another thing that I thought was interesting is we are

1478
01:40:22.279 --> 01:40:25.399
<v Speaker 1>we are actually, you know, obviously in God's image we

1479
01:40:25.439 --> 01:40:29.000
<v Speaker 1>are created. He says, whose image and inscription is this?

1480
01:40:29.159 --> 01:40:31.680
<v Speaker 1>And they said Caesar's and Jesus censors said, rendered caesars

1481
01:40:31.680 --> 01:40:34.239
<v Speaker 1>and things that are Caesars. I just thought that was interesting.

1482
01:40:37.800 --> 01:40:40.760
<v Speaker 1>The saddescees, what about the resurrection is the title of this?

1483
01:40:40.760 --> 01:40:45.479
<v Speaker 1>This is Mark twelve, verse eighteen, that some sadducees who

1484
01:40:45.560 --> 01:40:48.439
<v Speaker 1>say there is no resurrection came to him and they

1485
01:40:48.479 --> 01:40:51.439
<v Speaker 1>asked him saying, Teacher Moses wrote to us that if

1486
01:40:51.479 --> 01:40:54.560
<v Speaker 1>a man's brother dies and leaves his wife behind and

1487
01:40:54.640 --> 01:40:57.239
<v Speaker 1>leaves no children, his brothers should take his wife and

1488
01:40:57.319 --> 01:41:01.000
<v Speaker 1>raise up offspring for his brother. Now that we're seven brothers.

1489
01:41:01.039 --> 01:41:05.199
<v Speaker 1>The first took a wife and dying, he left no offspring,

1490
01:41:05.239 --> 01:41:08.079
<v Speaker 1>and the second took her and he died nor did

1491
01:41:08.119 --> 01:41:10.680
<v Speaker 1>he leave any offspring. And the third likewise, for the

1492
01:41:10.800 --> 01:41:15.840
<v Speaker 1>seven had her and left no offspring. Last of all

1493
01:41:15.920 --> 01:41:20.279
<v Speaker 1>the woman died also. Therefore, in the resurrection when they arise,

1494
01:41:20.439 --> 01:41:24.600
<v Speaker 1>whose wife will she be? For all seven had her

1495
01:41:24.600 --> 01:41:28.560
<v Speaker 1>as a wife. So they're trying to give him like

1496
01:41:28.600 --> 01:41:32.520
<v Speaker 1>a riddle here obviously a whole bunch of information, and

1497
01:41:33.640 --> 01:41:35.640
<v Speaker 1>the for a regular person. You know, they're trying to

1498
01:41:35.640 --> 01:41:38.439
<v Speaker 1>make it hard to follow along, right, trying to have him,

1499
01:41:38.520 --> 01:41:40.680
<v Speaker 1>like I said, they're trying to have him slip up.

1500
01:41:42.720 --> 01:41:47.119
<v Speaker 1>And probably because he talked about marriage earlier, they're probably

1501
01:41:47.119 --> 01:41:49.920
<v Speaker 1>trying to test him again and try to have him

1502
01:41:49.960 --> 01:41:52.680
<v Speaker 1>slip up and say something wrong. But listen to what

1503
01:41:52.760 --> 01:41:57.239
<v Speaker 1>Jesus says, Mark twelve, verse twenty four. Jesus answered and

1504
01:41:57.279 --> 01:42:00.039
<v Speaker 1>said to them, are you not therefore mistaken? Because you

1505
01:42:00.079 --> 01:42:02.520
<v Speaker 1>do not know the scriptures nor the power of God?

1506
01:42:03.079 --> 01:42:05.880
<v Speaker 1>But when they rise from the dead, they neither marry

1507
01:42:06.479 --> 01:42:10.199
<v Speaker 1>nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

1508
01:42:11.239 --> 01:42:15.239
<v Speaker 1>But concerning the dead that they rise, have not read

1509
01:42:15.239 --> 01:42:17.159
<v Speaker 1>in the have you not read in the Book of

1510
01:42:17.199 --> 01:42:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Moses and the Burning Book? But the Burning Bush passage?

1511
01:42:22.199 --> 01:42:24.439
<v Speaker 1>How God spoke to him saying, I am the God

1512
01:42:24.479 --> 01:42:27.279
<v Speaker 1>of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.

1513
01:42:28.039 --> 01:42:30.560
<v Speaker 1>He is not the God of the dead, but the

1514
01:42:30.600 --> 01:42:41.079
<v Speaker 1>God of the living. You are therefore greatly mistaken. So

1515
01:42:44.239 --> 01:42:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was pretty interesting. But he's saying that

1516
01:42:47.640 --> 01:42:50.800
<v Speaker 1>when you're in heaven, your goal is not to get

1517
01:42:50.920 --> 01:42:53.680
<v Speaker 1>married and have children. That's what you do when you're

1518
01:42:53.720 --> 01:42:57.840
<v Speaker 1>on earth. And what he's saying is for when for

1519
01:42:59.079 --> 01:43:02.600
<v Speaker 1>when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor

1520
01:43:02.720 --> 01:43:12.880
<v Speaker 1>are given in marriage, it says, But concerning the dead, right,

1521
01:43:13.000 --> 01:43:15.600
<v Speaker 1>So he's saying that the people that are gonna go

1522
01:43:15.680 --> 01:43:19.760
<v Speaker 1>to heaven, they're not gonna get married and divorce and

1523
01:43:19.840 --> 01:43:22.920
<v Speaker 1>have children and all this stuff. Okay, this is it's

1524
01:43:22.960 --> 01:43:28.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna be different. That's not your goal anymore. But concerning

1525
01:43:28.079 --> 01:43:29.840
<v Speaker 1>the dead, which are the people that are gonna be

1526
01:43:29.840 --> 01:43:34.760
<v Speaker 1>going to hell that they rise and have that they rise?

1527
01:43:34.880 --> 01:43:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Have not have you not read the Book of Moses

1528
01:43:37.000 --> 01:43:39.359
<v Speaker 1>and the Burning Bust passage how God spoke to him saying,

1529
01:43:39.399 --> 01:43:41.399
<v Speaker 1>I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,

1530
01:43:41.439 --> 01:43:44.159
<v Speaker 1>the God of Jacob. He is not the God of

1531
01:43:44.199 --> 01:43:47.000
<v Speaker 1>the dead, which means the people that are going to

1532
01:43:47.039 --> 01:43:50.279
<v Speaker 1>be in shield or hell. He is not the god

1533
01:43:50.319 --> 01:43:53.560
<v Speaker 1>of anymore after they die, but God of the living,

1534
01:43:53.680 --> 01:43:58.800
<v Speaker 1>which would be us, the body of Christ. You therefore

1535
01:43:59.279 --> 01:44:03.880
<v Speaker 1>greatly mistake. So at this point, the saddesties that are

1536
01:44:03.920 --> 01:44:10.600
<v Speaker 1>asking the question, they're greatly mistaken because they're probably gonna

1537
01:44:10.600 --> 01:44:16.840
<v Speaker 1>be going to hell. So basically, don't even worry about

1538
01:44:16.840 --> 01:44:21.079
<v Speaker 1>it because he's not the God of the dead, meaning

1539
01:44:21.119 --> 01:44:27.079
<v Speaker 1>the people that are not saved. Very interesting, Okay, let's

1540
01:44:27.079 --> 01:44:31.520
<v Speaker 1>continue Mark twelve, verse twenty eight. Then one of the

1541
01:44:31.560 --> 01:44:34.560
<v Speaker 1>scribes came, and, having heard from reasoning together, perceiving that

1542
01:44:34.600 --> 01:44:38.720
<v Speaker 1>he had answered them well, asked him, what is the

1543
01:44:38.760 --> 01:44:44.479
<v Speaker 1>first commandment of all? Jesus answered, the first commandments is

1544
01:44:45.119 --> 01:44:48.119
<v Speaker 1>here Israel, the Lord, our God. The Lord is won.

1545
01:44:49.000 --> 01:44:51.399
<v Speaker 1>And you shall love the Lord your God with all

1546
01:44:51.439 --> 01:44:54.920
<v Speaker 1>your heart, with your soul, with all your mind, with

1547
01:44:55.000 --> 01:44:58.720
<v Speaker 1>all your strength. This is the first commandment, and the

1548
01:44:58.800 --> 01:45:03.319
<v Speaker 1>second life it is you shall love your neighbor as yourself.

1549
01:45:03.359 --> 01:45:09.680
<v Speaker 1>There is no other commandment greater than these. Why because

1550
01:45:09.720 --> 01:45:15.479
<v Speaker 1>it covers all basis of the ten commandments. Because some

1551
01:45:15.560 --> 01:45:19.119
<v Speaker 1>of the commandments, like four of them are written to you,

1552
01:45:20.199 --> 01:45:25.319
<v Speaker 1>are about God. I think that's the first four about

1553
01:45:25.319 --> 01:45:28.840
<v Speaker 1>God and then the other six or about man like

1554
01:45:28.920 --> 01:45:36.159
<v Speaker 1>what we do. Right, So that's why it covers all bases. Right.

1555
01:45:36.279 --> 01:45:39.159
<v Speaker 1>If you love your neighbor as yourself, are you gonna steal? Nope?

1556
01:45:39.239 --> 01:45:41.239
<v Speaker 1>If you love your neighbor as yourself, are you gonna

1557
01:45:41.319 --> 01:45:46.000
<v Speaker 1>kill nope? Our murder nope. Are you gonna commit adultery? Nope?

1558
01:45:46.079 --> 01:45:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Are you gonna covet your neighbor nope? Are you gonna

1559
01:45:48.680 --> 01:45:52.159
<v Speaker 1>there's all these things right, And if are you gonna

1560
01:45:52.800 --> 01:45:55.960
<v Speaker 1>honor your mother and father, Yes, because you're gonna love

1561
01:45:56.600 --> 01:46:00.800
<v Speaker 1>them like you love yourself. Okay, So there's a whole

1562
01:46:00.800 --> 01:46:02.560
<v Speaker 1>bunch of stuff in the ten commandments that this is

1563
01:46:02.560 --> 01:46:05.880
<v Speaker 1>covering all bases. Right. If you love the Lord thy

1564
01:46:05.960 --> 01:46:08.560
<v Speaker 1>God with all your soul and your mind, with all

1565
01:46:08.600 --> 01:46:13.159
<v Speaker 1>your strength, then you're gonna follow all the law, all

1566
01:46:13.199 --> 01:46:19.199
<v Speaker 1>the ten commandments. Okay. So that's why those two are

1567
01:46:19.239 --> 01:46:22.720
<v Speaker 1>the greatest of them, because they cover all of the

1568
01:46:22.760 --> 01:46:28.159
<v Speaker 1>commandments Mark twelve, verse thirty two. So the scribe said

1569
01:46:28.199 --> 01:46:30.680
<v Speaker 1>to him, well, teacher, Well said, teacher, you have spoken

1570
01:46:30.720 --> 01:46:33.159
<v Speaker 1>the truth where there is one God and there is

1571
01:46:33.479 --> 01:46:38.560
<v Speaker 1>one other, but no other but He, and to love

1572
01:46:38.640 --> 01:46:41.640
<v Speaker 1>him with all your heart, with all your understanding with

1573
01:46:41.680 --> 01:46:44.159
<v Speaker 1>all your soul, with all your strength, and to love

1574
01:46:44.279 --> 01:46:48.039
<v Speaker 1>one's neighbor as oneself is more than all the whole

1575
01:46:48.119 --> 01:46:51.760
<v Speaker 1>burnt offerings and sacrifices. Now, when Jesus saw they had

1576
01:46:51.800 --> 01:46:54.960
<v Speaker 1>answered wisely, he said to them, you are not afar

1577
01:46:55.039 --> 01:47:01.880
<v Speaker 1>from the Kingdom of God. Right. But after that no

1578
01:47:01.920 --> 01:47:11.159
<v Speaker 1>one dared question him. Smart Jesus, how can David call

1579
01:47:11.239 --> 01:47:15.560
<v Speaker 1>his descendant Lord? Okay? So then Jesus answered and said,

1580
01:47:15.880 --> 01:47:20.279
<v Speaker 1>while he taught in the temple, this is a mark twelve,

1581
01:47:20.359 --> 01:47:23.640
<v Speaker 1>verse thirty five. Then Jesus answered and said, while he

1582
01:47:23.720 --> 01:47:26.600
<v Speaker 1>taught in the temple, how is it that the scribes

1583
01:47:26.720 --> 01:47:29.319
<v Speaker 1>say that the Christ is the son of David? For

1584
01:47:29.399 --> 01:47:33.359
<v Speaker 1>David himself said, by the Holy Spirit, the Lord said

1585
01:47:33.399 --> 01:47:36.199
<v Speaker 1>to my Lord, sit in my right hand till I

1586
01:47:36.239 --> 01:47:40.760
<v Speaker 1>make your enemies your footstool. Therefore David himself calls him Lord.

1587
01:47:42.000 --> 01:47:47.359
<v Speaker 1>Who is who is he? Then? His son? And the

1588
01:47:47.439 --> 01:47:56.439
<v Speaker 1>common people heard him gladly. So if Christ is the

1589
01:47:56.439 --> 01:47:58.840
<v Speaker 1>son of David, then why is he calling him Lord?

1590
01:47:59.079 --> 01:48:04.439
<v Speaker 1>The capital l that's what he's pointing out. The Lord

1591
01:48:04.520 --> 01:48:06.800
<v Speaker 1>said to my Lord, sit in my right hand till

1592
01:48:06.840 --> 01:48:10.159
<v Speaker 1>I make your enemies or footstool, you see. So how

1593
01:48:10.279 --> 01:48:13.319
<v Speaker 1>is he then his son? He's not. He's the son

1594
01:48:13.359 --> 01:48:19.720
<v Speaker 1>of God, not the son of David. And a physical aspect, yes, okay,

1595
01:48:19.800 --> 01:48:22.760
<v Speaker 1>he is. He comes through the line of David. But

1596
01:48:24.079 --> 01:48:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Jesus is always talking about the kingdom of Heaven, talking

1597
01:48:26.760 --> 01:48:35.000
<v Speaker 1>about the spiritual. So he's saying that David calls me Lord,

1598
01:48:36.159 --> 01:48:39.720
<v Speaker 1>who is he then his son? No? Okay, Beware of

1599
01:48:39.800 --> 01:48:44.920
<v Speaker 1>the scribes. A scribe is somebody that copies the scriptures.

1600
01:48:46.439 --> 01:48:49.199
<v Speaker 1>Then he said to them and his teaching, beware of

1601
01:48:49.279 --> 01:48:52.359
<v Speaker 1>the scribes who desire to go around in long robes,

1602
01:48:52.439 --> 01:48:59.279
<v Speaker 1>loved greetings in marketplaces, the best seats in synagogues, and

1603
01:48:59.319 --> 01:49:05.640
<v Speaker 1>the best places at feast, who devour widows houses and

1604
01:49:05.760 --> 01:49:10.239
<v Speaker 1>for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive great condemnation.

1605
01:49:12.680 --> 01:49:16.399
<v Speaker 1>So that what's happening there is there was pharisees and

1606
01:49:16.560 --> 01:49:21.159
<v Speaker 1>scribes that like a woman's husband would die, and then

1607
01:49:21.199 --> 01:49:26.119
<v Speaker 1>they would go in and take this widow's house long prayers,

1608
01:49:26.199 --> 01:49:28.600
<v Speaker 1>like oh, like sitting there praying and praying and praying

1609
01:49:28.720 --> 01:49:31.399
<v Speaker 1>just to just to you know, try to impress men.

1610
01:49:34.039 --> 01:49:36.079
<v Speaker 1>They want the best seats in the synagogue, so they

1611
01:49:36.119 --> 01:49:38.880
<v Speaker 1>walk in with all the scribes, and you know, they

1612
01:49:38.920 --> 01:49:41.199
<v Speaker 1>sit on the best seats. Let's say if they're like

1613
01:49:41.840 --> 01:49:44.560
<v Speaker 1>either higher up, like in like box seats, like you

1614
01:49:44.600 --> 01:49:46.039
<v Speaker 1>know when you go to a Lakers game, Like some

1615
01:49:46.079 --> 01:49:48.000
<v Speaker 1>people are sitting in the box seats, like they're the

1616
01:49:48.119 --> 01:49:50.840
<v Speaker 1>CEOs and other rich people. We're over here, you know,

1617
01:49:50.920 --> 01:49:54.079
<v Speaker 1>sitting in the nosebleed section with their nosebleeding, you know.

1618
01:49:54.920 --> 01:49:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Or there's the rich people sitting in the very front

1619
01:49:57.600 --> 01:50:05.479
<v Speaker 1>seat seat. That's what I think he's describing here. They want, Oh,

1620
01:50:05.640 --> 01:50:08.680
<v Speaker 1>they go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplace.

1621
01:50:08.720 --> 01:50:11.359
<v Speaker 1>So they love it when people go, oh, scribe, how

1622
01:50:11.399 --> 01:50:14.279
<v Speaker 1>are you or whatever, you know, rabbi or whatever. I

1623
01:50:14.279 --> 01:50:17.359
<v Speaker 1>don't know what they're called, but they love it to

1624
01:50:17.560 --> 01:50:26.520
<v Speaker 1>receive attention that will receive great condemnation. The Widow's two mites.

1625
01:50:26.840 --> 01:50:30.119
<v Speaker 1>This is Mark twelve, verse forty one. Now Jesus sat

1626
01:50:30.159 --> 01:50:33.399
<v Speaker 1>opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money

1627
01:50:33.399 --> 01:50:38.000
<v Speaker 1>into the treasury treasury, and many who were rich put

1628
01:50:38.079 --> 01:50:42.000
<v Speaker 1>in much. The one poor widow came and threw in

1629
01:50:42.079 --> 01:50:46.560
<v Speaker 1>two mites, which make a quadrants. So we called his

1630
01:50:46.680 --> 01:50:48.720
<v Speaker 1>disciples to himself and said in the Ma, surely I

1631
01:50:48.760 --> 01:50:52.800
<v Speaker 1>say to you that this poor widow has put in

1632
01:50:52.840 --> 01:50:55.760
<v Speaker 1>more than all those who have given to the treasury.

1633
01:50:57.600 --> 01:51:00.760
<v Speaker 1>For they all put in out of their abundance, but

1634
01:51:00.920 --> 01:51:06.920
<v Speaker 1>she put out of poverty all she had, her whole livelihood.

1635
01:51:08.199 --> 01:51:13.880
<v Speaker 1>You see, Jesus is pointing that out. She's poor. She's

1636
01:51:13.920 --> 01:51:17.720
<v Speaker 1>giving with her heart, she's giving with everything she has.

1637
01:51:18.720 --> 01:51:22.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, she's coming out of poverty. These rich people

1638
01:51:26.840 --> 01:51:29.920
<v Speaker 1>they're putting more money in, but they have so much

1639
01:51:29.920 --> 01:51:38.359
<v Speaker 1>of their abundance that it's nothing to them, you know. Interesting. So, yeah,

1640
01:51:38.359 --> 01:51:42.640
<v Speaker 1>we finished Matthew twelve. All right, Oh, sorry, we just

1641
01:51:42.640 --> 01:51:46.520
<v Speaker 1>finished Mark twelve. We're going to be doing probably thirteen through.

1642
01:51:49.399 --> 01:51:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Let me see real quick. Oh about taxes. Oops, I

1643
01:51:56.720 --> 01:52:00.800
<v Speaker 1>forgot to do that. About the taxes thing. You know,

1644
01:52:01.960 --> 01:52:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Paul speaks about it in Romans thirteen versus six to seven.

1645
01:52:04.840 --> 01:52:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Before we end, I'll tell you these ones Romans thirteen

1646
01:52:09.720 --> 01:52:12.640
<v Speaker 1>six or seven, for because of this you also pay taxes.

1647
01:52:12.680 --> 01:52:16.560
<v Speaker 1>For they are God's ministers, attending continually to this very

1648
01:52:16.600 --> 01:52:21.000
<v Speaker 1>thing render. Therefore all they're due taxes to whom taxes

1649
01:52:21.039 --> 01:52:24.439
<v Speaker 1>are due, customs to whom customs fear of whom, fear

1650
01:52:24.600 --> 01:52:27.640
<v Speaker 1>honor to whom honor. So what I would say is,

1651
01:52:28.479 --> 01:52:33.279
<v Speaker 1>this is Paul writing to the Romans, right, and he's

1652
01:52:33.319 --> 01:52:36.079
<v Speaker 1>saying to you know, if you don't pay taxes back,

1653
01:52:36.119 --> 01:52:38.439
<v Speaker 1>then you become a slave, or they could kill you,

1654
01:52:38.560 --> 01:52:40.359
<v Speaker 1>or there's a whole bunch of stuff that goes along

1655
01:52:40.399 --> 01:52:43.119
<v Speaker 1>with that. So he's saying, for because of this, you

1656
01:52:43.920 --> 01:52:47.159
<v Speaker 1>may also pay taxes for they are God's ministers attending

1657
01:52:47.159 --> 01:52:50.399
<v Speaker 1>continuity to this very thing, right, So just want to

1658
01:52:50.439 --> 01:52:56.199
<v Speaker 1>let you know that. And yeah, so that's mark twelve.

1659
01:52:56.319 --> 01:52:59.159
<v Speaker 1>That's going to be ending that. I'll stop the screen

1660
01:52:59.199 --> 01:53:04.039
<v Speaker 1>share if you're watching on the video, and we will
