00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.800
<v Speaker 1>on Patreon. It's like, I think it's God five forty

116
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:18.360
<v Speaker 1>two h z. I think that's who you are. I

117
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:23.720
<v Speaker 1>know I took a picture. Oh mention. Oh okay, okay,

118
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:29.639
<v Speaker 1>God is love. That's what it is. God is love

119
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:34.480
<v Speaker 1>five hundred and twenty eight megahertz. These days, when it

120
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:37.399
<v Speaker 1>comes to prayer manifestations, I know Jesus said anything you

121
00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:39.759
<v Speaker 1>asked my name my sheell do. However, for me, one

122
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.079
<v Speaker 1>of the biggest shifts in my life has come since

123
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I started only praying for others and only asking for

124
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:51.759
<v Speaker 1>myself when it's something Okay, so let's stop right there. Yeah, so, yeah,

125
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:54.279
<v Speaker 1>you're praying for others. I think that's that's what you

126
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:57.319
<v Speaker 1>should do. I think we should pray for obedience. I

127
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:01.199
<v Speaker 1>think we should pray for others. I think that's great, bro. Okay,

128
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.839
<v Speaker 1>and I think, yeah, I do think. You know, when

129
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Jesus says that it is still it's still like he

130
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:11.319
<v Speaker 1>will answer as long as it's God's will. Right, even

131
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.680
<v Speaker 1>when he was on earth, what did he say? He

132
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.560
<v Speaker 1>prayed to God, take this cup from me, but if not,

133
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:18.519
<v Speaker 1>I'll do your will, you know, so like he wants

134
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:21.279
<v Speaker 1>to do God's will. So even if we do pray

135
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:25.120
<v Speaker 1>for things, it's definitely whatever God wills. You know. If

136
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:27.800
<v Speaker 1>you pray for a ferrari and it's not in God's

137
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>will that you know, obviously ain't gonna get a ferrari.

138
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:33.120
<v Speaker 1>So I like what you're saying there, Bro. Biggest shifts

139
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:36.040
<v Speaker 1>in my life have come when I started praying for others, yes,

140
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>only asking for myself when it's something that stands in

141
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:42.399
<v Speaker 1>the way or will help me better serve God. Yes, awesome.

142
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:46.000
<v Speaker 1>I prayed for things like love, material things lately so

143
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>that I could help more people, et cetera. And never work.

144
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Since I quit asking for those things, and I've only

145
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:53.600
<v Speaker 1>prayed for God's will for me. Yes, and serve the

146
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Lord and help others, and have done those things. I

147
00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:59.959
<v Speaker 1>have seen a shift in happiness abundance. Abundance as far

148
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.279
<v Speaker 1>as the things I want or I will be happy

149
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:07.360
<v Speaker 1>like a family, a child, etc. Who already knows better

150
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.720
<v Speaker 1>those things than God. Yes, and even more so then

151
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.839
<v Speaker 1>I want. God knows far better than me what is

152
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.360
<v Speaker 1>best for me. He does. I agree with you so much, bro,

153
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>And when it comes to me so it seems to

154
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:24.279
<v Speaker 1>make sense. It definitely does. Of course, I'm also an

155
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:27.399
<v Speaker 1>addict and alcoholics, and maybe it's different from me. Love

156
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:29.720
<v Speaker 1>to hear your thoughts on that. Yeah, I really agree

157
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.159
<v Speaker 1>with you, bro, And you know what, I was an

158
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:37.200
<v Speaker 1>addict too, you know, I used to be addicted to drugs,

159
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.039
<v Speaker 1>you know. And I was an addict. And now most

160
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.799
<v Speaker 1>people say you're an addict for life. I'm addicted to

161
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:45.799
<v Speaker 1>God and I'm addicted to the Bible. I'm addicted to

162
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.600
<v Speaker 1>the word now, and I'm addicted to the gym, all right,

163
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I know that's what I'll say. So, yeah, I'm still

164
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:55.080
<v Speaker 1>an addict, but I'm addicted to God. I replaced those

165
00:08:55.120 --> 00:09:00.200
<v Speaker 1>bad habits that I had of drugs, alcohol, partying, chasing women,

166
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.480
<v Speaker 1>chasing fame, chasing all that stuff, you know. I replaced

167
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:10.399
<v Speaker 1>it with very positive things the Bible, praising God, doing

168
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:13.279
<v Speaker 1>a podcast, and now doing a Bible study for you guys,

169
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.360
<v Speaker 1>and also the gym. Okay, that's like the five things

170
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.720
<v Speaker 1>I replaced it with. And when I ended up getting saved,

171
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:23.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't need anything else. I don't need anything else.

172
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:25.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't need to go watch a movie. I don't

173
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:28.759
<v Speaker 1>need to do certain things to be happy anymore. I'm

174
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:32.440
<v Speaker 1>happy with with praising God, reading the Bible, when I

175
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:36.159
<v Speaker 1>work out, I listen to sermons on what my show

176
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:40.240
<v Speaker 1>is going to be about. I'm literally constantly researching, and

177
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:43.799
<v Speaker 1>that fulfills me. Now, it might be different for other people,

178
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:46.320
<v Speaker 1>but what I'm doing right now with the Bible and

179
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:51.960
<v Speaker 1>everything on this show and also and also you know,

180
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:55.000
<v Speaker 1>when I get to research and study and everything that

181
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:58.039
<v Speaker 1>fulfills me, that fulfills my heart and to be able

182
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:00.759
<v Speaker 1>to hear from people like you, God is love five

183
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.080
<v Speaker 1>point twenty eight HC. To know that you're an addict,

184
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:05.679
<v Speaker 1>an alcoholic, and to be able to do a Bible

185
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:08.879
<v Speaker 1>study for you is such a blessing for me because

186
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:12.200
<v Speaker 1>if you saw me before I joined the army, like,

187
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:18.120
<v Speaker 1>let me see two thousand and fourteen, right, twenty fourteen,

188
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:21.919
<v Speaker 1>maybe twenty thirteen, I was a completely different person than

189
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:24.919
<v Speaker 1>I am now. Okay, I wasn't a jerk. Even though

190
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:26.879
<v Speaker 1>I was doing drugs. I wasn't a jerk or anything

191
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:28.759
<v Speaker 1>like that. I was just I was still nice to people,

192
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:33.480
<v Speaker 1>but I was a total, complete different person as far

193
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.720
<v Speaker 1>as my priorities. Everything was not in line. Nothing. Okay.

194
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:40.679
<v Speaker 1>So if anybody out there is struggling, what I want

195
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.320
<v Speaker 1>to tell you is, you see my voice is coming back.

196
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:44.960
<v Speaker 1>You see it's starting to get a little weird again.

197
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.039
<v Speaker 1>What I want to tell you is that first of all,

198
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:52.559
<v Speaker 1>God loves you, and you know those that lost sheep,

199
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:54.960
<v Speaker 1>the one He's gonna go get you, and then the

200
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:57.480
<v Speaker 1>angels of heaven are going to rejoice when he gets you.

201
00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:02.600
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I just I'm really really happy that I'm

<v Speaker 1>Patreon Luke five all right, let's do that, and I

243
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:32.759
<v Speaker 1>have okay, So here we go. We're going to be

244
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:37.679
<v Speaker 1>on luke five verse one four fishermen called as disciples.

245
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:40.960
<v Speaker 1>So it was as the multitude pressed about him to

246
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.320
<v Speaker 1>hear the word of God, that he stood by the

247
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:48.360
<v Speaker 1>lake of Guinness rhtt and saw two boats standing by

248
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:50.879
<v Speaker 1>the lake, but the fishermen had gone from them and

249
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:53.759
<v Speaker 1>were washing their nets. Then he got into one of

250
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:57.919
<v Speaker 1>the boats, with which was Simon's Simon be and Peter

251
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:00.960
<v Speaker 1>and asked him to put out a little from the

252
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:05.519
<v Speaker 1>land to put him wait. Asked him to put out

253
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:07.480
<v Speaker 1>a little from the land, and he sat down and

254
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:10.600
<v Speaker 1>taked the multitudes from the boat. Now, one thing that

255
00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Jesus used to do. You know, if you are out

256
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:17.480
<v Speaker 1>fishing with your your grandpa or your dad, or your

257
00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:20.120
<v Speaker 1>brother or your cousin, and you're on a boat and

258
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:23.600
<v Speaker 1>then you're talking, if you notice, your voice will carry

259
00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:26.960
<v Speaker 1>across the lake. And sometimes you can hear people talking

260
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:30.000
<v Speaker 1>from the shore and they're speaking, or people on boats,

261
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:32.399
<v Speaker 1>you're able to kind of hear how their voice carries.

262
00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:36.200
<v Speaker 1>So Jesus when he was you know, instead of him

263
00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:41.679
<v Speaker 1>being rushed by the multitude of people, sometimes he would

264
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:44.440
<v Speaker 1>ask to be on a boat and kind of be

265
00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:46.639
<v Speaker 1>out in the lake a little bit and then kind

266
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:50.080
<v Speaker 1>of speaking to the audience. His voice will carry, and

267
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:52.600
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of easier for him to probably maybe I

268
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:56.159
<v Speaker 1>would say concentrate, even though he probably concentrates just fine.

269
00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:59.440
<v Speaker 1>But this is just what I'm seeing, you know. So,

270
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:04.960
<v Speaker 1>oh my bad, I'm sorry, I accidentally clicked the verse.

271
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:08.639
<v Speaker 1>When he had stopped speaking. He said to Simon, launch

272
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:11.960
<v Speaker 1>into the deep and let your nets for a catch.

273
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:16.679
<v Speaker 1>Let down your nets for a catch. But Simon answered

274
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:19.480
<v Speaker 1>and said to him, Master, we have toiled all night

275
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:23.000
<v Speaker 1>and caught nothing. Nevertheless, at your word, I will let

276
00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:27.720
<v Speaker 1>down the net. So what I'm seeing there is I'm

277
00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:31.279
<v Speaker 1>seeing a little bit of doubt right in Peter. I'm

278
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:37.960
<v Speaker 1>seeing that. I'm seeing that Peter had to mention, you know,

279
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:42.960
<v Speaker 1>the toil all night caught nothing. But then he's like,

280
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.240
<v Speaker 1>but I'll still, you know, I'll still put your put

281
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:49.240
<v Speaker 1>the net down. So he is being obedient, but he's

282
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:52.600
<v Speaker 1>mentioning the lack of faith first. So that's what I'm

283
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of seeing there. And when they had done this,

284
00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:59.519
<v Speaker 1>they caught a great number of fish and their net

285
00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:02.600
<v Speaker 1>was breaking, so they signaled to their partners in the

286
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:05.480
<v Speaker 1>other boat to come and help them, and they came

287
00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:10.360
<v Speaker 1>and filled both the boats so that they began to sink.

288
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:15.120
<v Speaker 1>When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus's knees, saying,

289
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.039
<v Speaker 1>depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

290
00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:24.720
<v Speaker 1>So something I'm seeing here is he's already seen Jesus

291
00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:30.840
<v Speaker 1>do some miracles, right, So, but this one is actually

292
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:37.000
<v Speaker 1>this one is actually personal for Peter, right, this is

293
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:43.039
<v Speaker 1>a miracle that was personally done for Peter. Jesus obviously

294
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:46.759
<v Speaker 1>was feeling some type of lack of faith, and Peter like,

295
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:50.360
<v Speaker 1>how are you gonna doubt when you see all the

296
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:53.720
<v Speaker 1>miracles he's doing? But we're human, you know, And I

297
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:57.200
<v Speaker 1>obviously I have lack of faith sometimes too, and probably

298
00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:59.960
<v Speaker 1>mostly everybody that acts like they have all the faith

299
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:02.360
<v Speaker 1>and the world has a lack of faith too when

300
00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:06.519
<v Speaker 1>it comes to a certain extent. So I'm not judging

301
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Peter here, but you hear the lack of faith, right. So,

302
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:15.319
<v Speaker 1>and then when Peter drops down, it says that he

303
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:19.079
<v Speaker 1>fell down to his knees. That actually, in the Greek

304
00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:22.799
<v Speaker 1>means to be fearful, so he was like fearful. He

305
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.319
<v Speaker 1>was fearing the Lord right, so he feared the fact

306
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:29.599
<v Speaker 1>that he didn't have the faith right there, he probably

307
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:32.880
<v Speaker 1>felt that write a little bit of conviction there, saying

308
00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:35.039
<v Speaker 1>depart from me, for I am a sinful man. Old

309
00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Lord will continue Luke five, verse nine, for he and

310
00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:41.519
<v Speaker 1>all who were with him were astonished at the catch

311
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:49.200
<v Speaker 1>of fish which they had taken. And so also were

312
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:52.519
<v Speaker 1>James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners

313
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:55.240
<v Speaker 1>with Simon. So those are the two that came over.

314
00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:58.319
<v Speaker 1>And looks like it was James and John who also

315
00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:02.200
<v Speaker 1>were his disciples, and Jesus said to Simon, do not

316
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:06.279
<v Speaker 1>be afraid. From now on you will catch men, Okay.

317
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:09.440
<v Speaker 1>So when they had brought their boats to the land,

318
00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:18.000
<v Speaker 1>they forsook all and followed him. So it's amazing because

319
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Jesus does a personal miracle for Peter, and also it's

320
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:27.000
<v Speaker 1>pretty personal for James and John too, right because they're

321
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:29.200
<v Speaker 1>seeing it as well, and they're coming over to help

322
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:31.559
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, wow, our boat's are about to break.

323
00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:35.000
<v Speaker 1>They got somebody fish, and then Jesus is telling them

324
00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:40.759
<v Speaker 1>do not be afraid talking to Peter because when it

325
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:44.079
<v Speaker 1>says he fell down. That actually means fearful, right, So

326
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:47.960
<v Speaker 1>do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men, right,

327
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:51.480
<v Speaker 1>You will spread the gospel, be fruitful, and you're gonna

328
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:55.559
<v Speaker 1>be catching men right. So next, next up, we have

329
00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Jesus cleansing a leper. Let me see if you know what.

330
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.759
<v Speaker 1>We'll go to the notes after Jesus touches him and

331
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:12.319
<v Speaker 1>cleanses a leper. So let's read this Luke five, verse twelve.

332
00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:15.440
<v Speaker 1>And it happened when he was in a certain city

333
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.599
<v Speaker 1>that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw

334
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:23.039
<v Speaker 1>Jesus and fell on his face and implored him, saying, Lord,

335
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:27.160
<v Speaker 1>if you are willing, you can make me clean. So

336
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.440
<v Speaker 1>we'll stop there real quick. We went over Leviticus. We

337
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:32.559
<v Speaker 1>saw all the laws and everything. If you guys were

338
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:36.839
<v Speaker 1>following along in the book Leviticus, you guys see everything

339
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:41.480
<v Speaker 1>that they had to do for if someone was a leper.

340
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:44.559
<v Speaker 1>They were doing like almost like COVID was doing, you know,

341
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.440
<v Speaker 1>like they did during COVID. They were quarantining people. And

342
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:51.079
<v Speaker 1>even back then, if people at leprosy, they were quarantining

343
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:53.319
<v Speaker 1>them and you're not allowed to touch them or you'll

344
00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:56.319
<v Speaker 1>be unclean. There was some of the leprosy that was

345
00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:00.880
<v Speaker 1>going around would be if you touch some you catch it,

346
00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:05.960
<v Speaker 1>so they would not touch them. And in fact, when

347
00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:08.079
<v Speaker 1>someone had leprosy, they have to walk on the other

348
00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:12.079
<v Speaker 1>side of the street and they have to scream leprosy, leprosy,

349
00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:16.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, like unclean. I'm sorry, not leprosy. They screened,

350
00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:21.960
<v Speaker 1>they have to screen unclean because it it was a

351
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:24.599
<v Speaker 1>serious thing. And then they had to go through, you know,

352
00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:27.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of different things through with the priest to

353
00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:30.480
<v Speaker 1>find out if they were cleared of the leprosy. First,

354
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:33.039
<v Speaker 1>then they had to you know, for seven days. You know.

355
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:36.160
<v Speaker 1>It was like a lot, a lot to this. And

356
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:39.559
<v Speaker 1>one thing is, once you have the leprosy that's uncurable,

357
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:43.200
<v Speaker 1>nobody's gonna touch you, so you no longer have human

358
00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:48.759
<v Speaker 1>touch anymore. Think about that. That's it's it's it's a

359
00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:57.079
<v Speaker 1>sad thing, you know. And Jesus, I'm sure he knows that,

360
00:20:57.720 --> 00:20:59.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, he knows that, he knows that, you know,

361
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:03.000
<v Speaker 1>not sure knows that he knows that part. So listen

362
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:05.599
<v Speaker 1>to what Jesus does. Then he put out his hand

363
00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:09.960
<v Speaker 1>and touched him, saying I am willing be cleansed immediacy

364
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:13.640
<v Speaker 1>immediately the leprosy left him, and he charged him to

365
00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:16.920
<v Speaker 1>tell no one, but go and show yourself to the

366
00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:19.759
<v Speaker 1>priest and make an offering for your cleansing as a

367
00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:28.279
<v Speaker 1>testimony to them, just as Moses commanded. Okay, so he

368
00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:33.720
<v Speaker 1>put out his hand and touched him. Okay, he didn't

369
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:39.440
<v Speaker 1>have to touch him. That just it's just showing you.

370
00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:44.519
<v Speaker 1>First of all, that disease is nothing to Jesus. He

371
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:49.400
<v Speaker 1>can overcome any disease, that's obvious. But he has compassion.

372
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:53.720
<v Speaker 1>He put his hand and touched him. He put out

373
00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:56.039
<v Speaker 1>his hand and touched him, saying, I am willing to

374
00:21:56.119 --> 00:22:00.400
<v Speaker 1>be cleansed, and immediately the leprosy left him. Okay, first

375
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.319
<v Speaker 1>of all, the love that he had to be able to,

376
00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:06.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, just just heal him is amazing. But the

377
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:09.279
<v Speaker 1>fact that he want the extra mile and he touched him,

378
00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:12.359
<v Speaker 1>I am willing to be cleansed. Immediately the leprosy left him.

379
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:17.720
<v Speaker 1>He charged him to tell no one, right, so he

380
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:19.400
<v Speaker 1>told you didn't want him to tell no one, he said,

381
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:22.599
<v Speaker 1>but go show yourself to the priests. And you know

382
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:26.440
<v Speaker 1>what they did. We read about it in Leviticus. They

383
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:28.880
<v Speaker 1>check him, they try to see and there was all

384
00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:31.599
<v Speaker 1>these different rules and everything with leprosy. You know, there's

385
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:34.279
<v Speaker 1>the pus coming out and all the stuff I don't

386
00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:37.680
<v Speaker 1>want to get into on this show. The point is

387
00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:41.799
<v Speaker 1>Jesus did that, and that he followed the law. He said,

388
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:45.119
<v Speaker 1>go show yourself to the priest, make an offering for

389
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:49.039
<v Speaker 1>your cleansing as a testimony to them, just as Moses commanded. Right,

390
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:57.680
<v Speaker 1>so awesome. Now we're in Luke five fifteen. However, the

391
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:00.440
<v Speaker 1>report went around concerning him all the more, and the

392
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:03.720
<v Speaker 1>great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed

393
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:08.319
<v Speaker 1>by him of their infirmities. So he himself often withdrew

394
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:17.680
<v Speaker 1>into the wilderness and prayed. So he is Jesus is

395
00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:22.680
<v Speaker 1>a blueprint for how we should be. You know. Even

396
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.799
<v Speaker 1>though Jesus is God in the flesh, you know, he

397
00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:29.519
<v Speaker 1>still with you know, because he is a man at

398
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:34.839
<v Speaker 1>this point, right, so I think he is. He still

399
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:41.440
<v Speaker 1>goes into the wilderness by himself, and and he prays

400
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:44.599
<v Speaker 1>to the father, you know, to do the father's will.

401
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:51.759
<v Speaker 1>Let's go next. This is Jesus forgives and heals a paralytic.

402
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:58.640
<v Speaker 1>This is Luke five, verse seventeen. Let's see, do I

403
00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:01.039
<v Speaker 1>let me see what do we do? Okay, Okay, I

404
00:24:01.079 --> 00:24:14.640
<v Speaker 1>got that. Okay, let me check something really quick. Okay,

405
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:17.559
<v Speaker 1>So we're Luke five now. Sorry, I'm just trying to

406
00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:20.400
<v Speaker 1>get my notes in order real quick. Nope, told you

407
00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:38.720
<v Speaker 1>that Luke five. Okay. So we're in Luke five seventeen. Okay, cool,

408
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:43.599
<v Speaker 1>we're here. We're on the right spot. So Jesus forgives

409
00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:47.640
<v Speaker 1>and heals a paralytic. So this is going to be

410
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:51.319
<v Speaker 1>Luke five seventeen. Now, it happened on a certain day

411
00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:55.640
<v Speaker 1>as he was teaching, that there were pharisees and teachers

412
00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:58.680
<v Speaker 1>of the law sitting by who had come out of

413
00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:02.920
<v Speaker 1>every town of Galleed in Jerusalem, and the power of

414
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:06.440
<v Speaker 1>the Lord was present to heal them. Then behold, men

415
00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:10.000
<v Speaker 1>brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, excuse me,

416
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:13.359
<v Speaker 1>whom they sought to bring in and lay before him.

417
00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:16.519
<v Speaker 1>And when they could not find how they might bring

418
00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:19.039
<v Speaker 1>him in because of the crowd, they went up on

419
00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the housetop and let him down with his bed through

420
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:25.720
<v Speaker 1>the tiling into the midst before Jesus. So, first of all,

421
00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:28.279
<v Speaker 1>I'll let you guys know that there used to be

422
00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:32.240
<v Speaker 1>like these houses would have like a way to get

423
00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:37.160
<v Speaker 1>to the rooftop, like usually like a ladder, some type

424
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:40.079
<v Speaker 1>of balcony ways to get to the rooftop. Okay, So

425
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:43.680
<v Speaker 1>the rooftop for for them back then would be like

426
00:25:43.720 --> 00:25:47.079
<v Speaker 1>a place for maybe the father to go and kind

427
00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:50.319
<v Speaker 1>of stand on the roof and you know, and maybe

428
00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:52.480
<v Speaker 1>start praying or you know, kind of get away from

429
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:55.680
<v Speaker 1>the hustle and bustle, if that makes sense. It would

430
00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:57.960
<v Speaker 1>be like you having a balcony on your you know,

431
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:01.920
<v Speaker 1>your your master bedroom, right and you and your wife

432
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:04.640
<v Speaker 1>like to get away and just sit on your balcony

433
00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:06.920
<v Speaker 1>and when the kids are sleeping or whatever and just

434
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:10.559
<v Speaker 1>kind of spend time away. So they usually had a

435
00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:14.400
<v Speaker 1>weight to get on the roof. So these guys probably

436
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:17.640
<v Speaker 1>maybe there was a ladder. However they did it. But

437
00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:22.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's four guys carrying one paralytic. So they

438
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:28.440
<v Speaker 1>were persistent and determined to get this guy healed, which

439
00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:33.920
<v Speaker 1>is amazing. I mean, what great friends, right, what great friends.

440
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Jesus probably felt the persistence, the faith, the love, the

441
00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:45.039
<v Speaker 1>hope everything right here Luke five verse twenty. When he

442
00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:48.279
<v Speaker 1>saw their faith, he said to him, man, your sins

443
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:55.000
<v Speaker 1>are forgiving you. Okay, this is something that first of all,

444
00:26:55.039 --> 00:27:02.960
<v Speaker 1>we need to understand that with the Jews, with the Pharisees,

445
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:09.640
<v Speaker 1>with the Scribes, these guys, only God can forgive sins, okay,

446
00:27:09.680 --> 00:27:15.200
<v Speaker 1>to them, So this is blasphemy them. Hearing Jesus say

447
00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:19.640
<v Speaker 1>this is straight blasphemy for them because for them, only

448
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:24.079
<v Speaker 1>God can forgive sins. And Jesus is saying, man, your

449
00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:28.599
<v Speaker 1>sins are forgiving you. Now, we can forgive our friends

450
00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:31.720
<v Speaker 1>or our enemies or people in our life that does

451
00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:37.359
<v Speaker 1>something wrong to us, that's different. But we're not forgiving

452
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:39.480
<v Speaker 1>their sins, you know what I mean. We're not saying

453
00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:42.880
<v Speaker 1>that your sins are forgiven, like as if we are God.

454
00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:47.759
<v Speaker 1>Only God can forgive sins. Right. But Jesus never claimed

455
00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:50.640
<v Speaker 1>to be God. Okay, well look what he's saying right here,

456
00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:54.759
<v Speaker 1>and they took it that way. Okay, listen to what

457
00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:57.720
<v Speaker 1>they say. And I'm only saying that Jesus never claimed

458
00:27:57.720 --> 00:27:59.680
<v Speaker 1>to be God because that's what some people would say.

459
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:01.880
<v Speaker 1>They would say, well, he never claimed to be God,

460
00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:07.119
<v Speaker 1>he never said it outright, But this is him verbally

461
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:10.759
<v Speaker 1>saying something that would make him, you know, almost claim

462
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:15.960
<v Speaker 1>to be God right here. Okay, So listen, Luke, five,

463
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:18.920
<v Speaker 1>verse twenty one. And the scribes and the Pharisees began

464
00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:22.759
<v Speaker 1>to reason, saying, who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who

465
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:26.200
<v Speaker 1>can forgive sins? But God alone? You see the pharisees

466
00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:28.720
<v Speaker 1>right there are like hey, he is claiming to be

467
00:28:28.799 --> 00:28:34.319
<v Speaker 1>God right here. But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, Jesus

468
00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:38.400
<v Speaker 1>can read their mind, perceiving their thoughts right, he said,

469
00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:41.880
<v Speaker 1>He answered, and said to them, why are you reasoning

470
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:45.039
<v Speaker 1>with your hearts? Which is easier to say your sins

471
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:48.559
<v Speaker 1>are forgiving you or say rise up and walk, but

472
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:52.960
<v Speaker 1>you may, but that you may know that the son

473
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:56.359
<v Speaker 1>of Man has power on earth to forgive sins. He

474
00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:59.759
<v Speaker 1>said to the man who was paralyzed, I say to you, arise,

475
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:05.640
<v Speaker 1>take up your bed, and go to your house. Immediately

476
00:29:05.680 --> 00:29:08.200
<v Speaker 1>he rose up before them, took up what he had

477
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:11.920
<v Speaker 1>been lying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

478
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:15.640
<v Speaker 1>For they were all amazed. And they glorified God and

479
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:22.640
<v Speaker 1>were filled with fear, saying, we have seen strange things today. So,

480
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:28.400
<v Speaker 1>first of all, if Jesus could have just forgave him

481
00:29:28.440 --> 00:29:32.160
<v Speaker 1>for his sins, because the spiritual is more important than

482
00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:35.400
<v Speaker 1>the physical. So even if that guy was still a

483
00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:38.000
<v Speaker 1>paralytic for the rest of his life. He got his

484
00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:42.720
<v Speaker 1>sins forgiven right there, That's most important, right, But Jesus

485
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:48.319
<v Speaker 1>is saying, isn't it easier to say that than to say?

486
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Rise up? Right? So I was so confident about my voice,

487
00:29:55.000 --> 00:30:00.440
<v Speaker 1>wasn't I? All right? So let's see, let me see

488
00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:03.400
<v Speaker 1>if I have anything in my notes about that Jesus

489
00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:05.920
<v Speaker 1>forgive sins claiming to be God. I got that, Matthew

490
00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and Simon is okay, Let's continue. Let's see if I

491
00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:14.440
<v Speaker 1>have anything in my other notes. Com pretty of judicial

492
00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:16.880
<v Speaker 1>is a paralytic first forgiving his sins, which caused a

493
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:20.400
<v Speaker 1>controversy among the Pharisees and the teachers of the law.

494
00:30:20.519 --> 00:30:25.720
<v Speaker 1>The crowd marvels at the display of God's authority, right, yes, amen.

495
00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Now we're going to go to my other notes right here. Now,

496
00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:34.559
<v Speaker 1>this is Matthew the tax collector. We already we read

497
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:36.480
<v Speaker 1>the Book of Matthew already, so we already went through

498
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:41.480
<v Speaker 1>his gospel. Right. So Matthew the tax collector, after these things,

499
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:44.759
<v Speaker 1>he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi

500
00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:48.440
<v Speaker 1>sitting at the off the tax office, and he said

501
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:52.240
<v Speaker 1>to him, follow me, so he left, all rose up

502
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:55.519
<v Speaker 1>and followed him. Something I would like to add to

503
00:30:55.559 --> 00:31:02.000
<v Speaker 1>this is the tax collectors they worked for Rome, right,

504
00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:04.720
<v Speaker 1>they were like enemies of the Jews, right, there were

505
00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:07.680
<v Speaker 1>enemies of the Pharisees. There are enemies of the scribes,

506
00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:11.640
<v Speaker 1>So they were enemies. The tax collectors were not looked

507
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:16.240
<v Speaker 1>highly upon. The tax collectors usually had pretty good money

508
00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:19.759
<v Speaker 1>because they would they would get a percentage of what

509
00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:24.359
<v Speaker 1>they were collecting, right, don't know the exact percentage, but

510
00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:27.559
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the tax collectors they had money. So

511
00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:32.920
<v Speaker 1>for him to he left, it all rose up and

512
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:40.160
<v Speaker 1>followed him. Now, if you're leaving being a tax collector

513
00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:43.160
<v Speaker 1>for Rome and you're just going to go follow Jesus,

514
00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:47.480
<v Speaker 1>there's probably not an easy way back, right. And I

515
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:50.000
<v Speaker 1>don't think he was looking to come back. I think

516
00:31:50.039 --> 00:31:51.759
<v Speaker 1>he said, you know what, I'm gonna drop everything and

517
00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to follow you. Right. And one thing that

518
00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:01.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, Peter and John and I can't remember the

519
00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:05.240
<v Speaker 1>guy's other name on there, Simon, No, not Simon, it

520
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:09.240
<v Speaker 1>was John and something else. Sorry, see those guys, you know? Oh,

521
00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:14.680
<v Speaker 1>actually it was up here. I'm tripping, signaled their partners

522
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:17.759
<v Speaker 1>and came Simon. Okay, let me see John. James and

523
00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:22.759
<v Speaker 1>John who are the partners and Peter. You know they

524
00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:25.480
<v Speaker 1>can always go back to their job and and go

525
00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:27.599
<v Speaker 1>have fun and go fishing. You know, they had the boat.

526
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:31.440
<v Speaker 1>They could go back. They're like self employed. But Matthew,

527
00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:35.680
<v Speaker 1>he's dropping everything right. He's a tax collector for Rome.

528
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:38.839
<v Speaker 1>If he leaves that job, it's probably not easy to

529
00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:44.440
<v Speaker 1>come back, you know, to that job. So that's something

530
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:49.920
<v Speaker 1>that I'm noticing. And then also we have then LEVI

531
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:53.400
<v Speaker 1>gave him a great feast in his own house, and

532
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:55.680
<v Speaker 1>there were a great number of tax collectors and others

533
00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:59.319
<v Speaker 1>who sat down with them, and their scribes and pharisees

534
00:32:59.359 --> 00:33:02.519
<v Speaker 1>complained again his disciples, saying, why do you eat and

535
00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:06.039
<v Speaker 1>drink with tax collectors and sinners? Jesus answered and said

536
00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:08.759
<v Speaker 1>to them, those who are well have no need of

537
00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:11.920
<v Speaker 1>a physician, but those who are sick. I have not

538
00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:15.799
<v Speaker 1>come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Now

539
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:21.759
<v Speaker 1>are the pharisees and the scribes and saddesties? Are they

540
00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:27.920
<v Speaker 1>the righteous? What Jesus is talking about here? The reason

541
00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:31.759
<v Speaker 1>why these other people that were there were not righteous

542
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:35.079
<v Speaker 1>is because they were sinning like out in the open

543
00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:38.160
<v Speaker 1>and sinning, right, and people knew that they were sinners

544
00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:42.359
<v Speaker 1>and they had no problems with that. These are tax collectors, right,

545
00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:48.440
<v Speaker 1>so you know that they were let's say, how could

546
00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:54.839
<v Speaker 1>I put this? They were kind of screwing people over

547
00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:57.359
<v Speaker 1>in a way, and they had no problem with it. Right.

548
00:33:57.519 --> 00:33:59.839
<v Speaker 1>So another thing is why do you eat and drink

549
00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:03.119
<v Speaker 1>with access the sinners? Now? Back then they would actually

550
00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:06.640
<v Speaker 1>take bread and dip it into food and eat, and

551
00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:09.039
<v Speaker 1>then somebody else from across the table would dip it

552
00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:11.159
<v Speaker 1>and eat, and then they would dip it that like

553
00:34:11.199 --> 00:34:14.079
<v Speaker 1>there was no double dip rule back then like we

554
00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:19.239
<v Speaker 1>have now. So, uh, they had some type of man

555
00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:22.480
<v Speaker 1>made tradition where they felt like if someone was like

556
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:27.400
<v Speaker 1>a sinner, like you know, you could you know, you

557
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:29.679
<v Speaker 1>could dip that and then you're eating out of the

558
00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:32.239
<v Speaker 1>same bowl as all these sinners. You can actually, you know,

559
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:35.599
<v Speaker 1>physically eat that chip and oh, now you got you know,

560
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:38.000
<v Speaker 1>you can become a sinner now, right, I mean, come on,

561
00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:40.760
<v Speaker 1>everybody's a sinner. They just that's just something that they

562
00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:43.400
<v Speaker 1>put out there, right, So that's why they're they're they're

563
00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:49.280
<v Speaker 1>being like this to Jesus. But and and the disciples.

564
00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:52.519
<v Speaker 1>Those who are well have no need of a physician,

565
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:55.000
<v Speaker 1>but those who are sick. I have not come to

566
00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:58.159
<v Speaker 1>call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. So Jesus is like,

567
00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:02.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, he just always has the perfect answer, right,

568
00:35:03.800 --> 00:35:06.039
<v Speaker 1>He just has the perfect answer every time that they

569
00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:09.440
<v Speaker 1>question him, Well, they say something to him, he has

570
00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:12.280
<v Speaker 1>just he is the word, right, Jesus is the word,

571
00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:16.320
<v Speaker 1>and he's perfect at putting out, putting together those sentences

572
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:21.960
<v Speaker 1>for rebuttals against these Pharisees. Right, let's see if I

573
00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:27.199
<v Speaker 1>have anything on my other notes calling it Levi. Jesus

574
00:35:27.199 --> 00:35:29.519
<v Speaker 1>calls Levi, a tax collector, to follow him at a

575
00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:33.000
<v Speaker 1>feast in Levi's house. Jesus interacts with tax collectors and sinners,

576
00:35:33.360 --> 00:35:35.960
<v Speaker 1>leading to a dispute what the pharisees about his association

577
00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:39.159
<v Speaker 1>with such individuals. We kind of already know that. Jesus responds,

578
00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:41.079
<v Speaker 1>stating that he calls, Yeah, okay, so we got that.

579
00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:46.519
<v Speaker 1>Let's go. So now we're going to be questions about fasting,

580
00:35:48.199 --> 00:35:51.719
<v Speaker 1>So Luke five, verse thirty three. Then they say said

581
00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:55.000
<v Speaker 1>to him, why do the disciples of John fast often?

582
00:35:55.360 --> 00:35:58.360
<v Speaker 1>John the Baptist is what we're talking about, And make prayers,

583
00:35:58.440 --> 00:36:02.039
<v Speaker 1>and likewise those of the fair sees, but yours eat

584
00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:06.880
<v Speaker 1>and drink. Here's another part that I would say that

585
00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Jesus is referring to himself as God, because why do

586
00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:18.039
<v Speaker 1>you fast? And why do you fast in the first place?

587
00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:23.480
<v Speaker 1>You fast to get closer to God. Right, you fast

588
00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:28.440
<v Speaker 1>to deny your flesh, and then you fast to get

589
00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:31.760
<v Speaker 1>closer to God. So let's see what Jesus says. And

590
00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:33.920
<v Speaker 1>he said to them, can you make the friends of

591
00:36:33.960 --> 00:36:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them? But

592
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:39.920
<v Speaker 1>the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken

593
00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:43.360
<v Speaker 1>away from them, Then they will fast in those days.

594
00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:47.679
<v Speaker 1>Then he spoke a parable to them. So okay, let's

595
00:36:47.719 --> 00:36:50.599
<v Speaker 1>let's see. Can you make friends of a bridegroom fast

596
00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:53.079
<v Speaker 1>while the bridegroom is with them? But the days will

597
00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:55.400
<v Speaker 1>come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them? Right,

598
00:36:55.440 --> 00:36:59.480
<v Speaker 1>So he's saying like, they don't need to fast, they

599
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:02.280
<v Speaker 1>need to with the time while I'm here, because you

600
00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:04.960
<v Speaker 1>don't need to fast to get closer to God, because

601
00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:09.320
<v Speaker 1>God is right here in their present, in their presence,

602
00:37:11.920 --> 00:37:15.079
<v Speaker 1>God in the flesh is there in their presence, so

603
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:20.199
<v Speaker 1>they do not need to fast. And by the way,

604
00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:24.800
<v Speaker 1>these people that used to fast, like the Pharisees, the Sadducees,

605
00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:28.039
<v Speaker 1>they would fast and they would try to like make

606
00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:33.159
<v Speaker 1>didn't get the lunch. Today they're grumbling, you know, complaining,

607
00:37:33.320 --> 00:37:36.880
<v Speaker 1>is what this pastor I was listening to was saying.

608
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:38.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that's true. I don't know because

609
00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't alive back then, but he said that, you

610
00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:45.920
<v Speaker 1>know that that would happen sometimes where they would they

611
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:47.840
<v Speaker 1>would fast and then they would want people to know

612
00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:50.039
<v Speaker 1>they're fasting, you know, so it makes them more holy.

613
00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:53.159
<v Speaker 1>So that so that they would fast for the wrong reasons.

614
00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:57.000
<v Speaker 1>They would fast so that people would say, oh, you're

615
00:37:57.039 --> 00:38:00.440
<v Speaker 1>fasting right now, Oh you're holy. It'd be like me,

616
00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:06.679
<v Speaker 1>excuse me. It'll be like me fasting, you know, and

617
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:09.280
<v Speaker 1>then me coming on this podcast and be like, hey, guys,

618
00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:12.320
<v Speaker 1>I've been fasting for like four days and I'm so

619
00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:15.480
<v Speaker 1>close to God right now, I'm so holy and blah

620
00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:17.800
<v Speaker 1>blah blah. That's not what's going on. That's not what

621
00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:22.960
<v Speaker 1>God even wants you to fast for. You fast to

622
00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:31.840
<v Speaker 1>deny the flesh, show the flesh who's boss, right, because

623
00:38:32.679 --> 00:38:36.800
<v Speaker 1>eating is something we need in the physical. The word

624
00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:40.480
<v Speaker 1>of God is something we need in this spiritual. So

625
00:38:41.159 --> 00:38:45.320
<v Speaker 1>when you deny yourself of the physical, then you are

626
00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:51.360
<v Speaker 1>showing the flesh kind of who's boss. Right. So also

627
00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:53.719
<v Speaker 1>it helps you to get closer to God. Right. Being

628
00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:56.280
<v Speaker 1>obedient gets you closer to God. Right, because when you sin,

629
00:38:56.400 --> 00:38:59.800
<v Speaker 1>it separates you from God. So if you're fasting, praying,

630
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:03.119
<v Speaker 1>and being obedient to God, you were getting closer to

631
00:39:03.159 --> 00:39:06.679
<v Speaker 1>the Lord. Right. So another thing I would say is

632
00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:12.719
<v Speaker 1>the definition of fasting was just abstaining from food. Let's

633
00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:20.800
<v Speaker 1>see for a certain amount of time, Right, you're denying

634
00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:28.079
<v Speaker 1>your flesh. So yeah, I don't need to look up

635
00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:32.199
<v Speaker 1>the definition of that. We'll continue, We'll continue. So this

636
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:36.480
<v Speaker 1>is Luke five, verse thirty six. Then he spoke a

637
00:39:36.599 --> 00:39:39.320
<v Speaker 1>parable to them. No one puts a piece from a

638
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:42.360
<v Speaker 1>new garment in an old one, otherwise the new one

639
00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:45.079
<v Speaker 1>makes a tear. And also the peace that was taken

640
00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:47.599
<v Speaker 1>out of the new does not match the old. And

641
00:39:48.280 --> 00:39:52.320
<v Speaker 1>no one puts new wine into old skins, old wine skins,

642
00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:54.960
<v Speaker 1>or else the new wine will burst the wine skins

643
00:39:55.039 --> 00:39:57.519
<v Speaker 1>and be spilled, and the wine skins will be ruined.

644
00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:02.840
<v Speaker 1>But the new wine must be put into new wine skins,

645
00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:05.960
<v Speaker 1>and both are preserved, and no one having drunk old

646
00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:09.079
<v Speaker 1>wine immediately desires new where he says the old is

647
00:40:09.159 --> 00:40:18.280
<v Speaker 1>better now. Luke five presents a series of remarkable events

648
00:40:18.480 --> 00:40:21.719
<v Speaker 1>and teachings in jesus ministry. For calling his first disciple

649
00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:25.280
<v Speaker 1>to performing miraculous healings, Jesus challenges with his norms, Oh,

650
00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, let me go to the fasting part Jesus's

651
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:30.559
<v Speaker 1>question about why the disciples do not fast as John's

652
00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:33.480
<v Speaker 1>disciples and the Pharisees do. He responds with the parable

653
00:40:33.559 --> 00:40:37.719
<v Speaker 1>the bridegroom and the patch of unshrunk cloth, emphasizing the

654
00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:46.800
<v Speaker 1>newness of his message and mission. So what this pastor

655
00:40:46.920 --> 00:40:52.519
<v Speaker 1>was saying that I was studying is the new Covenant.

656
00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:54.639
<v Speaker 1>Instead of laws, we have the Holy Spirit, and said, okay,

657
00:40:54.679 --> 00:40:59.079
<v Speaker 1>So if we go to Jeremiah thirty one thirty one

658
00:40:59.119 --> 00:41:02.960
<v Speaker 1>through thirty five, it says, behold, the days are coming,

659
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:06.159
<v Speaker 1>says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant

660
00:41:06.199 --> 00:41:08.920
<v Speaker 1>with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah.

661
00:41:09.039 --> 00:41:11.039
<v Speaker 1>Not according to the covenant that I made with their

662
00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:13.920
<v Speaker 1>fathers in the day that I took them by the

663
00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:16.400
<v Speaker 1>hand and led them out of the hand of Egypt

664
00:41:16.519 --> 00:41:19.599
<v Speaker 1>my covenant, which they broke, though I was a husband

665
00:41:19.679 --> 00:41:22.199
<v Speaker 1>to them, says the Lord. But this is the covenant

666
00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:25.079
<v Speaker 1>that I will make with them, with the House of Israel.

667
00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:27.480
<v Speaker 1>After those days, says the Lord, I will put my

668
00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:30.599
<v Speaker 1>law in their minds and write it on their hearts,

669
00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:35.280
<v Speaker 1>and I will be their God, and they shall be

670
00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:39.920
<v Speaker 1>my people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor,

671
00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:43.199
<v Speaker 1>and every man his brother, saying know the Lord, for

672
00:41:44.239 --> 00:41:47.880
<v Speaker 1>all know me. For the least of them, of the

673
00:41:47.880 --> 00:41:50.000
<v Speaker 1>greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive

674
00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:54.239
<v Speaker 1>their iniquity and their sin. I will remember no more.

675
00:41:56.280 --> 00:41:58.639
<v Speaker 1>So it's talking about a new covenant. The way this

676
00:41:58.719 --> 00:42:02.079
<v Speaker 1>pastor kind of put it is, you can't fit the

677
00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:06.000
<v Speaker 1>old covenant with the new covenant. So that's the way

678
00:42:06.039 --> 00:42:09.320
<v Speaker 1>he explained it. Now do I know one hundred percent

679
00:42:09.400 --> 00:42:12.400
<v Speaker 1>that that's exactly what he's talking about. I don't know

680
00:42:12.440 --> 00:42:15.679
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent. You know, Jesus is the one that

681
00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:21.480
<v Speaker 1>did the parable, and if he doesn't explain it, then

682
00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:24.400
<v Speaker 1>we were kind of putting our own touch on it.

683
00:42:24.559 --> 00:42:26.800
<v Speaker 1>That's the way the pastor that I was talking to

684
00:42:27.320 --> 00:42:31.159
<v Speaker 1>explained it. I could kind of give you, guys. Let's

685
00:42:31.159 --> 00:42:46.039
<v Speaker 1>see the of the old skins. The parable Jesus uses

686
00:42:46.079 --> 00:42:48.599
<v Speaker 1>the analogy of new wine and old wine skins to

687
00:42:48.639 --> 00:42:51.719
<v Speaker 1>explain why he and his disciples don't follow certain Jewish

688
00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:55.679
<v Speaker 1>practices like fasting. Old wine skins made from animal skins

689
00:42:55.719 --> 00:43:00.519
<v Speaker 1>are brutal and inflexible. If new from any wine is

690
00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:03.760
<v Speaker 1>poured into them, the expanding wind will burst the skins,

691
00:43:04.280 --> 00:43:08.039
<v Speaker 1>ruining both the wine and the skins. Meaning the new

692
00:43:08.079 --> 00:43:11.280
<v Speaker 1>wine represents Jesus's teachings and the new covenant of the

693
00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Kingdom of God. That's what I was explaining. Old wine

694
00:43:17.320 --> 00:43:20.480
<v Speaker 1>skins represent the old covenant, the Jewish law or rigid

695
00:43:20.519 --> 00:43:24.639
<v Speaker 1>religious traditions, the lesson. Just as the new wine cannot

696
00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:27.559
<v Speaker 1>be contained in old wine skins, and so too, new

697
00:43:27.599 --> 00:43:30.800
<v Speaker 1>teachings or new way of understanding God cannot be forced

698
00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:35.719
<v Speaker 1>into old inflexible structures. Okay, So that way you guys

699
00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:41.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of know. And then let's go ahead and see

700
00:43:41.360 --> 00:43:47.000
<v Speaker 1>what the we go back to my notes. Sorry, guys,

701
00:43:47.280 --> 00:43:51.679
<v Speaker 1>trying to flip between all these notes, and I don't

702
00:43:51.679 --> 00:44:02.159
<v Speaker 1>want to get lost here. Five Where are you? Okay?

703
00:44:02.320 --> 00:44:06.519
<v Speaker 1>So let's go the teaching points for this chapter the

704
00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:11.159
<v Speaker 1>Miraculous Catch a fist, Jesus demonstrates his divine authority over nature,

705
00:44:11.639 --> 00:44:16.159
<v Speaker 1>leading to a miraculous catch that astonishes Peter and his companions. Yes,

706
00:44:16.559 --> 00:44:22.119
<v Speaker 1>that's awesome, his divine authority over nature. Yes, and as

707
00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:27.360
<v Speaker 1>you see, he also he also was able to control

708
00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:31.480
<v Speaker 1>the weather, walk on water. The only person that I

709
00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:36.960
<v Speaker 1>see controlling the weather in the Bible is God. Right,

710
00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:40.079
<v Speaker 1>So it is God, the Father in the Old Testament.

711
00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:44.559
<v Speaker 1>You know, God is doing that right, So I just

712
00:44:44.599 --> 00:44:46.800
<v Speaker 1>want to put that out there, so you see him

713
00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:50.960
<v Speaker 1>able to do it, and so is God. So Jesus,

714
00:44:51.679 --> 00:44:54.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what would you say, I'd say he's God.

715
00:44:54.719 --> 00:44:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Peter's humble response. Peter's reaction to the miracle is one

716
00:44:57.960 --> 00:45:00.599
<v Speaker 1>of humility and recognition of his own sin, and it's saying,

717
00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:04.119
<v Speaker 1>go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man. Yes,

718
00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:08.760
<v Speaker 1>so yeah he did. He was fearful that he didn't

719
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:14.599
<v Speaker 1>have that faith. Right the Call to discipleship, Jesus calls Peter, James,

720
00:45:14.599 --> 00:45:17.400
<v Speaker 1>and John to leave everything and follow him, illustrating the

721
00:45:17.480 --> 00:45:21.880
<v Speaker 1>cost and commitment of true discipleship. Yes, that is definitely

722
00:45:21.880 --> 00:45:27.880
<v Speaker 1>true discipleship, and you were going to be leaving, You're

723
00:45:27.920 --> 00:45:31.800
<v Speaker 1>going to be leaving your old life behind, your old friends,

724
00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:35.559
<v Speaker 1>behind your old drinking partners, behind your old buddies that

725
00:45:35.719 --> 00:45:37.840
<v Speaker 1>like to go, you know, listen to rap music and

726
00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:40.719
<v Speaker 1>smoke weed. Your people that were used to chill with

727
00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:43.800
<v Speaker 1>you on the block, you know, all those people. To

728
00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:46.559
<v Speaker 1>be honest, if you were drinking with them every weekend

729
00:45:46.840 --> 00:45:49.039
<v Speaker 1>and going to parties with them all the time, you

730
00:45:49.079 --> 00:45:50.559
<v Speaker 1>know what happened if you told them that you don't

731
00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:52.599
<v Speaker 1>want to drink anymore and you don't want to party,

732
00:45:53.039 --> 00:45:56.480
<v Speaker 1>A lot of those people would not be your friend anyways. Okay,

733
00:45:56.639 --> 00:45:59.000
<v Speaker 1>just letting you know a lot of them are there

734
00:45:59.039 --> 00:46:01.800
<v Speaker 1>for the party. I will give you an example of

735
00:46:01.800 --> 00:46:04.239
<v Speaker 1>that in my own life. So when I was growing

736
00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:10.079
<v Speaker 1>up my dad's house, I was only fourteen years old

737
00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:12.360
<v Speaker 1>and my parents got a divorced. So my dad was like, hey,

738
00:46:13.320 --> 00:46:15.719
<v Speaker 1>you guys want to We'll make this a bachelor house.

739
00:46:16.239 --> 00:46:18.639
<v Speaker 1>So you guys could do whatever you want. You could

740
00:46:18.679 --> 00:46:20.960
<v Speaker 1>smoke weed, drink as long as you're doing it in

741
00:46:21.039 --> 00:46:23.320
<v Speaker 1>my house, old it's fine. So we had a lot

742
00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:25.559
<v Speaker 1>of friends coming over all the time, a lot of

743
00:46:25.559 --> 00:46:27.119
<v Speaker 1>people in and out of the house. My dad was

744
00:46:27.199 --> 00:46:30.159
<v Speaker 1>kind of selling weed to a bunch of people. Right,

745
00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:35.159
<v Speaker 1>So it was kind of a crazy scene. But people

746
00:46:35.199 --> 00:46:37.079
<v Speaker 1>would come over and smoke weed all the time at

747
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:40.159
<v Speaker 1>my dad's house, right, And I had probably a set

748
00:46:40.199 --> 00:46:43.960
<v Speaker 1>of like eight friends that came over. Like a lot

749
00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:46.440
<v Speaker 1>of people would come and they would be hanging out

750
00:46:46.440 --> 00:46:49.599
<v Speaker 1>with us all the time. You know, come you know,

751
00:46:49.719 --> 00:46:52.800
<v Speaker 1>maybe like a year and a half later after, you know,

752
00:46:53.800 --> 00:46:57.239
<v Speaker 1>just partying like crazy, having massive parties at my house

753
00:46:58.199 --> 00:47:00.440
<v Speaker 1>where there's fights and all this stuff. Cops would come,

754
00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:02.079
<v Speaker 1>my dad would say, hey, would you rather be here

755
00:47:02.159 --> 00:47:06.519
<v Speaker 1>or drunk out on the streets. Just craziness. Right. My

756
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:09.920
<v Speaker 1>whole point to this is the friends that once my

757
00:47:10.039 --> 00:47:13.159
<v Speaker 1>dad got busted for selling weed and went to jail,

758
00:47:14.119 --> 00:47:16.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the friends that were coming over to

759
00:47:16.360 --> 00:47:19.480
<v Speaker 1>smoke all the time, we kind of didn't hang out

760
00:47:19.480 --> 00:47:22.760
<v Speaker 1>as much. Now, there were some core friends that stayed,

761
00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:27.599
<v Speaker 1>don't get me wrong, but some of the uh, some

762
00:47:27.639 --> 00:47:30.559
<v Speaker 1>of the a lot of them they they we didn't

763
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:35.719
<v Speaker 1>we weren't hanging out because they were there for the

764
00:47:35.760 --> 00:47:39.280
<v Speaker 1>weed and the partying and all the girls and all

765
00:47:39.320 --> 00:47:43.639
<v Speaker 1>the stuff that was that was available. Obviously right now

766
00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:51.079
<v Speaker 1>it happens a lot, so just just an example of

767
00:47:51.719 --> 00:47:57.920
<v Speaker 1>basically true discipleship, right is uh is dropping everything and

768
00:47:57.960 --> 00:48:00.920
<v Speaker 1>following him. Now do you Is it easy to drop

769
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:03.679
<v Speaker 1>it all at once? No, it's very tough. But you're

770
00:48:03.719 --> 00:48:08.119
<v Speaker 1>gonna start dropping these habits Surely at some point you're

771
00:48:08.119 --> 00:48:10.599
<v Speaker 1>gonna feel like you are literally walking with God. And

772
00:48:10.679 --> 00:48:13.840
<v Speaker 1>when that happens, it is an amazing feeling. Right, And

773
00:48:14.119 --> 00:48:16.679
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna happen to you, to you guys as well,

774
00:48:18.239 --> 00:48:22.719
<v Speaker 1>if it hasn't happened already, so it will happen. And

775
00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:29.079
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you know, I mean, it's just it's crazy.

776
00:48:29.199 --> 00:48:30.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to talk about myself. I just want

777
00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:31.920
<v Speaker 1>to tell you that God has done a lot for

778
00:48:31.960 --> 00:48:34.320
<v Speaker 1>me in my life, and God has led me in

779
00:48:34.360 --> 00:48:38.199
<v Speaker 1>a direction that is It's just it's just a one

780
00:48:38.320 --> 00:48:43.320
<v Speaker 1>eighty complete one eighty of how it was. Jesus heals

781
00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:46.920
<v Speaker 1>a leper. So this is Luke five. It says Jesus'

782
00:48:46.960 --> 00:48:49.960
<v Speaker 1>willingness to touch and heal a leper shows his compassion

783
00:48:50.440 --> 00:48:53.400
<v Speaker 1>like I talked about, and his power to cleanse both

784
00:48:53.440 --> 00:49:01.119
<v Speaker 1>physically and spiritually the paralytics forgive me and healing Jesus.

785
00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Jesus not only heals the paralytic, but also forgives his sins,

786
00:49:04.480 --> 00:49:08.800
<v Speaker 1>demonstrating his authority to forgive and is concerned for spiritual wellbeing.

787
00:49:09.239 --> 00:49:12.719
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm saying, that's the most important thing is

788
00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:20.639
<v Speaker 1>the spiritual the call of Levi in parentheses as Matthew right,

789
00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:23.239
<v Speaker 1>Jesus calls Levi a tax player to follow him, showing

790
00:49:23.280 --> 00:49:26.559
<v Speaker 1>that his call extends to all, regardless of social status

791
00:49:26.639 --> 00:49:37.000
<v Speaker 1>and past sins. Now, something that's fascinating is that Matthew, uh,

792
00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:42.840
<v Speaker 1>you know Levi, Matthew is one of the disciples, and

793
00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:45.800
<v Speaker 1>then Simon the Zealot is one of the disciples. And

794
00:49:46.159 --> 00:49:48.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, they never have a clash, but they're from

795
00:49:49.039 --> 00:49:53.599
<v Speaker 1>two opposite sides of the spectrum because Simon the Zealot

796
00:49:53.719 --> 00:49:57.519
<v Speaker 1>the Zelots were actually the ones that were revolting against Rome,

797
00:49:58.039 --> 00:50:01.800
<v Speaker 1>revolting against tax collectors, and Matthew was a tax collector

798
00:50:01.840 --> 00:50:05.519
<v Speaker 1>that worked for Rome, and they both became disciples of Jesus.

799
00:50:06.519 --> 00:50:12.199
<v Speaker 1>You know, the Zealots, right, they're the ones that that

800
00:50:12.239 --> 00:50:14.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't feel like they should be paying taxes to Rome

801
00:50:15.480 --> 00:50:22.159
<v Speaker 1>because Rome was occupying and actually ruling over them. So

802
00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I thought, that's kind of fascinating that God. I mean,

803
00:50:25.199 --> 00:50:31.039
<v Speaker 1>Jesus just he just he just brings people from all

804
00:50:31.079 --> 00:50:34.000
<v Speaker 1>walks of life and brought them together. And then I

805
00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:36.480
<v Speaker 1>never heard anything really in the Bible about Matthew and

806
00:50:36.480 --> 00:50:41.079
<v Speaker 1>and and Simon the Zealot actually having any type of issues.

807
00:50:44.360 --> 00:50:47.079
<v Speaker 1>New wine and Okay, so we kind of went over that.

808
00:50:47.159 --> 00:50:53.960
<v Speaker 1>The new wine and new wine skins. Jesus teaches about

809
00:50:53.960 --> 00:50:56.199
<v Speaker 1>the newness of his message and the need for a

810
00:50:56.280 --> 00:51:01.400
<v Speaker 1>fresh approach to understanding God's work. Practical applications. How do

811
00:51:01.440 --> 00:51:05.679
<v Speaker 1>we apply this to our life? Respond to Jesus's call,

812
00:51:06.159 --> 00:51:09.239
<v Speaker 1>Consider what it means to leave everything and follow Jesus

813
00:51:09.239 --> 00:51:10.960
<v Speaker 1>in your own life. I kind of already went over that.

814
00:51:11.599 --> 00:51:14.679
<v Speaker 1>What might you need to surrender to fully commit to him? Yes,

815
00:51:15.079 --> 00:51:17.280
<v Speaker 1>that's a really good thing to apply to your life.

816
00:51:18.039 --> 00:51:21.400
<v Speaker 1>What is it that's holding you back? See, there's some

817
00:51:21.519 --> 00:51:25.360
<v Speaker 1>people I've run across this a lot because I talk

818
00:51:25.400 --> 00:51:27.760
<v Speaker 1>to people in the podcast industry and I talk to people,

819
00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:34.320
<v Speaker 1>and some people just won't won't just won't be able

820
00:51:34.360 --> 00:51:37.079
<v Speaker 1>to commit, you know, or won't won't be able to

821
00:51:37.719 --> 00:51:40.280
<v Speaker 1>fully grasp what I'm when I'm telling them when it

822
00:51:40.280 --> 00:51:43.159
<v Speaker 1>comes to the Bible, there's got to be something that

823
00:51:43.199 --> 00:51:45.480
<v Speaker 1>they're not ready to drop yet. You know, whether it's

824
00:51:45.519 --> 00:51:51.559
<v Speaker 1>the smoking weed, maybe it's the drinking, the partying, the adultery,

825
00:51:51.719 --> 00:51:56.559
<v Speaker 1>the sexual immorality, whatever it is, there's something there that's

826
00:51:56.599 --> 00:51:59.360
<v Speaker 1>stopping them. And it would be so cool if God

827
00:51:59.400 --> 00:52:01.960
<v Speaker 1>could just show me that and I can assist people

828
00:52:02.000 --> 00:52:04.400
<v Speaker 1>with it. But it doesn't always happen. People they just

829
00:52:04.440 --> 00:52:07.519
<v Speaker 1>become standoffish and they have these little things that they're

830
00:52:07.519 --> 00:52:11.360
<v Speaker 1>trying to and they won't be fully open about, right, So, which,

831
00:52:11.599 --> 00:52:13.320
<v Speaker 1>you know what, more power to them whatever they want

832
00:52:13.360 --> 00:52:15.760
<v Speaker 1>to do is I'm not trying to tell people what

833
00:52:15.840 --> 00:52:20.960
<v Speaker 1>to do. I'm just trying to plant seeds. So yeah,

834
00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:24.840
<v Speaker 1>so that's that's a really good point. Embrace humility, like Peter,

835
00:52:24.960 --> 00:52:28.639
<v Speaker 1>acknowledge your own sinfulness and need for Jesus's grace and forgiveness.

836
00:52:28.960 --> 00:52:34.960
<v Speaker 1>That's one hundred percent, definitely definitely true. Right. We need

837
00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:39.880
<v Speaker 1>to embrace humility, show compassion, follow Jesus example by reaching

838
00:52:39.880 --> 00:52:43.519
<v Speaker 1>out to those who are marginalized or in need, offering

839
00:52:43.559 --> 00:52:49.000
<v Speaker 1>both physical and spiritual support. There's definitely a lot of

840
00:52:49.039 --> 00:52:51.840
<v Speaker 1>people that are marginalized, or a lot of people that

841
00:52:51.960 --> 00:52:54.320
<v Speaker 1>are down on their luck, a lot of people that

842
00:52:54.400 --> 00:52:56.559
<v Speaker 1>are down and out. A lot of the people that

843
00:52:56.599 --> 00:53:01.280
<v Speaker 1>are homeless, they were once working as a plumber or

844
00:53:01.960 --> 00:53:08.280
<v Speaker 1>uh whatever job a plumber, a landscaper, uh maybe for

845
00:53:08.400 --> 00:53:12.599
<v Speaker 1>the union, whatever, and then they got maybe got a divorce,

846
00:53:13.119 --> 00:53:19.360
<v Speaker 1>started getting down on their luck, maybe lost a child, whatever.

847
00:53:20.400 --> 00:53:24.400
<v Speaker 1>There's people that are marginalized right now that are homeless.

848
00:53:25.079 --> 00:53:28.800
<v Speaker 1>These homeless people they were once in the military, right, veterans,

849
00:53:29.480 --> 00:53:32.880
<v Speaker 1>They fought for this country. They There's a lot of

850
00:53:32.920 --> 00:53:35.559
<v Speaker 1>people that are like you know, that are that are

851
00:53:35.559 --> 00:53:38.159
<v Speaker 1>down and out, down on their luck, that we might

852
00:53:38.239 --> 00:53:41.679
<v Speaker 1>pass by daily and not even think about. But these

853
00:53:41.719 --> 00:53:48.440
<v Speaker 1>are regularly these are real people. Have compassion, you know.

854
00:53:48.519 --> 00:53:50.599
<v Speaker 1>And I understand that a lot of them maybe are

855
00:53:51.079 --> 00:53:56.239
<v Speaker 1>have addictions and and uh maybe alcoholics, whatever, but they

856
00:53:56.679 --> 00:54:01.280
<v Speaker 1>they are a soul and there are God's children just

857
00:54:01.320 --> 00:54:04.519
<v Speaker 1>like we are, right, So I definitely agree with that.

858
00:54:04.960 --> 00:54:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Prioritize this, yeah, yeah, yeah, So whatever you could do,

859
00:54:11.400 --> 00:54:14.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, at offer physical and spiritual support, right to

860
00:54:15.119 --> 00:54:21.960
<v Speaker 1>just be capassionate, love right, love of everybody, show compassion,

861
00:54:24.159 --> 00:54:29.320
<v Speaker 1>seek spiritual healing, prioritize spiritual wellbeing, and seek Jesus forgiveness

862
00:54:29.320 --> 00:54:31.679
<v Speaker 1>and healing in areas of your life that need restoration.

863
00:54:32.360 --> 00:54:37.960
<v Speaker 1>That's yes, amen to that. Be open to change, embrace

864
00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:40.440
<v Speaker 1>the newness of life in Christ, and be willing to

865
00:54:40.519 --> 00:54:44.880
<v Speaker 1>adapt to His transformative work in your life. The people

866
00:54:44.920 --> 00:54:47.280
<v Speaker 1>that were involved in this chapter, we can already know

867
00:54:47.320 --> 00:54:53.719
<v Speaker 1>about them. Okay, let's see places we don't need to

868
00:54:53.719 --> 00:55:01.480
<v Speaker 1>know about that events. Let's see if there's anything I

869
00:55:01.480 --> 00:55:05.639
<v Speaker 1>can add to that. Nope, we're good. Okay. So that

870
00:55:05.840 --> 00:55:11.360
<v Speaker 1>is Luke chapter five in a nutshell. Uh, there's like

871
00:55:11.400 --> 00:55:19.280
<v Speaker 1>a little portion right here, So let's I'm gonna go

872
00:55:19.320 --> 00:55:25.519
<v Speaker 1>down to this here. Okay, next time I'll read that

873
00:55:26.800 --> 00:55:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Luke six. Okay, let me just go to my notes.

874
00:55:28.920 --> 00:55:32.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna switch to Luke six, and we are going

875
00:55:33.039 --> 00:55:38.760
<v Speaker 1>to go to Luke six. So we're that was a

876
00:55:38.880 --> 00:55:42.000
<v Speaker 1>nice little chapter right there. I really enjoyed that chapter,

877
00:55:42.320 --> 00:55:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Luke five. I want to make sure I'm going to

878
00:55:44.320 --> 00:55:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Luke six on my notes. Jesus is the Lord of

879
00:55:50.440 --> 00:55:54.639
<v Speaker 1>the Sabbath is the title of this one. So Luke six. Now,

880
00:55:54.639 --> 00:55:57.400
<v Speaker 1>it happened on the second Sabbath after the first, that

881
00:55:57.480 --> 00:56:00.360
<v Speaker 1>he went through the grain fields and his disciples pluck

882
00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:03.320
<v Speaker 1>the heads of grain and ate them, rubbing them in

883
00:56:03.400 --> 00:56:06.800
<v Speaker 1>their hands and some of the Pharisees said, what are

884
00:56:06.840 --> 00:56:10.840
<v Speaker 1>you doing? What are you doing? What is not lawful

885
00:56:10.880 --> 00:56:13.239
<v Speaker 1>to do on the Sabbath? Why are you doing what

886
00:56:13.320 --> 00:56:21.599
<v Speaker 1>is not lawful to do on the Sabbath. So, first

887
00:56:21.639 --> 00:56:24.039
<v Speaker 1>of all, you might be thinking, how do they how

888
00:56:24.079 --> 00:56:26.039
<v Speaker 1>do they just walk through any grain field and just

889
00:56:26.079 --> 00:56:30.559
<v Speaker 1>able to eat like that? Is that stealing? But in

890
00:56:30.639 --> 00:56:33.239
<v Speaker 1>Deuteronomy twenty three, twenty fourth through twenty five, so we'll

891
00:56:33.280 --> 00:56:37.320
<v Speaker 1>go over that first before we get into the Sabbath portion,

892
00:56:38.880 --> 00:56:41.599
<v Speaker 1>it says in Deuteronomy twenty three, twenty fourth through twenty five,

893
00:56:41.679 --> 00:56:44.559
<v Speaker 1>when you come into your neighbor's vineyard, you may eat

894
00:56:44.679 --> 00:56:48.400
<v Speaker 1>your feel of grapes at your pleasure, but you shall

895
00:56:48.440 --> 00:56:52.880
<v Speaker 1>not put any in your container. When you come into

896
00:56:52.920 --> 00:56:55.679
<v Speaker 1>your neighbor's standing grain, you may pluck the heads with

897
00:56:55.760 --> 00:56:58.679
<v Speaker 1>your hand, but you shall not use a sickle on

898
00:56:58.760 --> 00:57:01.480
<v Speaker 1>your neighbors standing grain. Like you're not allowed allowed to

899
00:57:01.480 --> 00:57:04.320
<v Speaker 1>bring a bunch of tools landscaping tools go out here

900
00:57:04.360 --> 00:57:06.440
<v Speaker 1>and start shopping up the whole place and throwing them

901
00:57:06.440 --> 00:57:08.239
<v Speaker 1>in a container, and then put them on your back

902
00:57:08.280 --> 00:57:11.920
<v Speaker 1>and walking out. No, it's meant for those that are

903
00:57:12.079 --> 00:57:16.119
<v Speaker 1>the needy, right, It's called the laws of mercy for

904
00:57:16.239 --> 00:57:19.519
<v Speaker 1>those that don't have the money to you know, to

905
00:57:19.599 --> 00:57:22.079
<v Speaker 1>own a whole field, or to own, you know, to

906
00:57:22.440 --> 00:57:25.239
<v Speaker 1>have cattle, to have sheep. For those that are the

907
00:57:25.320 --> 00:57:29.800
<v Speaker 1>less fortunate, they're allowed to walk by and they're allowed

908
00:57:29.840 --> 00:57:32.119
<v Speaker 1>to grab it. And basically, if they're hungry, they could

909
00:57:32.119 --> 00:57:34.800
<v Speaker 1>grab a few, you know, and kind of just eat it. Right.

910
00:57:34.920 --> 00:57:40.119
<v Speaker 1>So that's what I see going on here. They're hungry,

911
00:57:40.280 --> 00:57:45.360
<v Speaker 1>so they did that, So why are you doing what

912
00:57:45.559 --> 00:57:49.159
<v Speaker 1>is not lawful to do on the Sabbath? And then

913
00:57:49.280 --> 00:57:55.239
<v Speaker 1>Jesus immediately goes to the story about David Luke six

914
00:57:55.360 --> 00:57:58.400
<v Speaker 1>verse three. But Jesus answered them saying, have you not

915
00:57:58.559 --> 00:58:01.679
<v Speaker 1>even read this? What David did when he was hungry?

916
00:58:02.199 --> 00:58:05.039
<v Speaker 1>He and those who were with him, how he went

917
00:58:05.079 --> 00:58:08.480
<v Speaker 1>into the house of God, took and ate the showbread,

918
00:58:10.719 --> 00:58:14.360
<v Speaker 1>and also gave some of those to him, which is

919
00:58:14.400 --> 00:58:18.039
<v Speaker 1>not lawful for any but the priest to eat. And

920
00:58:18.079 --> 00:58:20.440
<v Speaker 1>he said to them, the son of Man is also

921
00:58:20.559 --> 00:58:26.320
<v Speaker 1>the Lord of the Sabbath. That is another thing that

922
00:58:26.360 --> 00:58:33.559
<v Speaker 1>I thought was fascinating for Jesus to say, the Lord

923
00:58:33.599 --> 00:58:39.960
<v Speaker 1>of the Sabbath. What. So let's go ahead and read Samuel.

924
00:58:45.639 --> 00:58:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's go ahead and read Samuel twenty one today. Let's

925
00:58:55.360 --> 00:59:05.840
<v Speaker 1>see twenty one one three through four. Okay, hold on

926
00:59:05.880 --> 00:59:12.000
<v Speaker 1>real quick, I apologize Samuel twenty one one through six,

927
00:59:12.559 --> 00:59:14.679
<v Speaker 1>or read Samuel twenty one one through six. Let's do

928
00:59:14.760 --> 00:59:19.719
<v Speaker 1>that Samuel twenty one one through six. This is gonna

929
00:59:19.719 --> 00:59:25.519
<v Speaker 1>be the story that he is referring to first, Samuel

930
00:59:27.840 --> 00:59:35.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty one. Okay. Here it is David and the Holy Bread. Okay,

931
00:59:35.039 --> 00:59:38.119
<v Speaker 1>so we're gonna make sure we put our marker here

932
00:59:38.360 --> 00:59:41.159
<v Speaker 1>to know where we're at, and I will read this.

933
00:59:41.239 --> 00:59:45.360
<v Speaker 1>It says now David came to knob to a Mila

934
00:59:46.760 --> 00:59:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Hamilik Hamlek Amelek the priest, and Amelek was afraid when

935
00:59:52.360 --> 00:59:54.719
<v Speaker 1>he met David and said to him, why are you

936
00:59:54.840 --> 00:59:57.599
<v Speaker 1>alone and no one is with you? So David said

937
00:59:57.639 --> 01:00:00.880
<v Speaker 1>to Amelek the priest, the King has ordered me on

938
01:00:00.920 --> 01:00:04.239
<v Speaker 1>some business and said to me, do not let anyone

939
01:00:04.280 --> 01:00:06.679
<v Speaker 1>know anything about the business on which I send you

940
01:00:07.519 --> 01:00:09.960
<v Speaker 1>or what I have commanded you. And I have directed

941
01:00:09.960 --> 01:00:14.679
<v Speaker 1>my young men to and such a place. Now, therefore,

942
01:00:17.159 --> 01:00:19.760
<v Speaker 1>what have you on hand? Give me five loaves of

943
01:00:19.800 --> 01:00:23.440
<v Speaker 1>bread in my hand, or whatever can be found. And

944
01:00:23.480 --> 01:00:26.239
<v Speaker 1>the priest answered David and said, there is no common

945
01:00:26.280 --> 01:00:29.679
<v Speaker 1>bread on hand, there is only holy bread. If the

946
01:00:29.760 --> 01:00:34.719
<v Speaker 1>young men have to less kept themselves from women, if

947
01:00:34.719 --> 01:00:37.719
<v Speaker 1>the young men have at least kept themselves from women.

948
01:00:38.119 --> 01:00:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Then David answered the priest and said to him, truly,

949
01:00:40.760 --> 01:00:43.519
<v Speaker 1>women have been kept from us about three days since

950
01:00:43.559 --> 01:00:46.079
<v Speaker 1>I came out, And the vessels of the young men

951
01:00:46.199 --> 01:00:50.360
<v Speaker 1>are holy, and the bread is in effect common, even

952
01:00:50.400 --> 01:00:54.039
<v Speaker 1>though it was consecrated in the vessel this day. So

953
01:00:54.079 --> 01:00:56.679
<v Speaker 1>the priest gave him holy bread, for there was no

954
01:00:56.840 --> 01:00:59.800
<v Speaker 1>bread there but the show bread, which had been taken

955
01:00:59.840 --> 01:01:03.079
<v Speaker 1>from before the Lord in order to put hot bread

956
01:01:03.159 --> 01:01:06.199
<v Speaker 1>in its place on the day when it was taken away. Now,

957
01:01:06.199 --> 01:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>a certain man of the servants of Saul was there

958
01:01:09.480 --> 01:01:12.320
<v Speaker 1>that day, detained before the Lord, and this name was

959
01:01:12.679 --> 01:01:15.320
<v Speaker 1>doing of Edomite. Okay, we don't need to get into

960
01:01:15.320 --> 01:01:18.880
<v Speaker 1>all that. So that is the story right there. Right.

961
01:01:19.559 --> 01:01:25.239
<v Speaker 1>So they're hungry, they're starving. He has men, he needs

962
01:01:25.280 --> 01:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>to feed them. So the moral of the story is

963
01:01:32.280 --> 01:01:37.480
<v Speaker 1>that human need is more important than religious ritual. Right,

964
01:01:38.320 --> 01:01:46.840
<v Speaker 1>human need what like? So the whole point of the

965
01:01:46.960 --> 01:01:53.199
<v Speaker 1>laws is to make you holy or separate from the pagans.

966
01:01:53.280 --> 01:01:55.519
<v Speaker 1>Right it holy is to be separate. Right, So the

967
01:01:55.559 --> 01:01:57.480
<v Speaker 1>whole point of the law is to make you holy.

968
01:01:58.679 --> 01:02:07.800
<v Speaker 1>So so why would God overlook that. It's because human

969
01:02:07.840 --> 01:02:13.679
<v Speaker 1>need is more important than religious ritual. So we have

970
01:02:13.760 --> 01:02:19.719
<v Speaker 1>a few other examples of that. Hoseiah six six is

971
01:02:19.760 --> 01:02:22.239
<v Speaker 1>another example of that. Let's go let's go ahead and

972
01:02:22.239 --> 01:02:25.440
<v Speaker 1>turn there to that to that point that I was

973
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:38.079
<v Speaker 1>making Hoseiah six, verse six, for I desire mercy and

974
01:02:38.159 --> 01:02:43.280
<v Speaker 1>not sacrifice, and then knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. Okay,

975
01:02:43.360 --> 01:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>So that's that's kind of a kind of goes along

976
01:02:45.960 --> 01:02:51.639
<v Speaker 1>with that. Isaiah fifty eight one through seven is another

977
01:02:51.719 --> 01:02:58.320
<v Speaker 1>example of what I was talking about. Cry out loud

978
01:03:00.159 --> 01:03:02.480
<v Speaker 1>or not lift up your voice like a trumpet, tell

979
01:03:02.480 --> 01:03:05.320
<v Speaker 1>my people their transgression in the house of Jacob, their sins.

980
01:03:05.960 --> 01:03:08.639
<v Speaker 1>Yet they speak to me. They yet they seek me

981
01:03:08.800 --> 01:03:12.639
<v Speaker 1>daily and delight to uh to know my ways. As

982
01:03:12.679 --> 01:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>a nation that did righteousness and did not forsake the

983
01:03:15.519 --> 01:03:19.760
<v Speaker 1>ordinance of their God. They ask me the ordinance of justice.

984
01:03:20.039 --> 01:03:23.880
<v Speaker 1>They take delight in approaching God. Have we why have

985
01:03:24.000 --> 01:03:28.400
<v Speaker 1>we fasted? They say, And you have not seen? Why

986
01:03:28.440 --> 01:03:31.559
<v Speaker 1>have we afflicted our souls? And you take no notice?

987
01:03:31.880 --> 01:03:33.960
<v Speaker 1>In fact, in the day of your fast, you find

988
01:03:34.000 --> 01:03:38.559
<v Speaker 1>pleasure and exploit all your laborers. Indeed, you fast for

989
01:03:38.639 --> 01:03:43.840
<v Speaker 1>strife and debate, and you strike with the fist of wickedness.

990
01:03:44.199 --> 01:03:47.079
<v Speaker 1>You will not fast as you do this day to

991
01:03:47.159 --> 01:03:51.119
<v Speaker 1>make your voice heard on high? Is it a fast

992
01:03:51.119 --> 01:03:53.079
<v Speaker 1>that I have chosen a day for a man to

993
01:03:53.119 --> 01:03:56.719
<v Speaker 1>afflict his soul? It is a bow down to his

994
01:03:56.800 --> 01:03:59.719
<v Speaker 1>head like a bulrush. And to spread out sackcloth and

995
01:03:59.760 --> 01:04:03.519
<v Speaker 1>act is what you call a fast, an acceptable day

996
01:04:03.880 --> 01:04:06.239
<v Speaker 1>to the lord? Is it not a fast that I

997
01:04:06.280 --> 01:04:08.920
<v Speaker 1>have chosen to loose the bonds of wicked? Is to

998
01:04:09.039 --> 01:04:13.320
<v Speaker 1>undo heavy burdens, to let the oppress go free, and

999
01:04:13.400 --> 01:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>that you break every yoke? Is it not to share

1000
01:04:16.000 --> 01:04:20.079
<v Speaker 1>your bread with the hungry you see, and that you

1001
01:04:20.119 --> 01:04:23.400
<v Speaker 1>bring to your house the poor who were cast out?

1002
01:04:23.840 --> 01:04:27.079
<v Speaker 1>When you see the naked, that you cover him and

1003
01:04:27.119 --> 01:04:30.519
<v Speaker 1>not hide yourself from your own flesh. You see that

1004
01:04:30.559 --> 01:04:37.119
<v Speaker 1>what I was talking about there, that that human need

1005
01:04:37.239 --> 01:04:42.840
<v Speaker 1>is more important than religious ritual. It's like you need

1006
01:04:42.880 --> 01:04:46.199
<v Speaker 1>to be set apart and beholy, but you're forgetting everything

1007
01:04:46.280 --> 01:04:48.639
<v Speaker 1>that the whole law was made for. You think the

1008
01:04:48.719 --> 01:04:50.599
<v Speaker 1>law is made for you to be a hall monitor

1009
01:04:50.800 --> 01:04:54.159
<v Speaker 1>Pharisees and scribes and saddusties and just you did this,

1010
01:04:54.320 --> 01:04:56.480
<v Speaker 1>you did that, you did this, you did that, And

1011
01:04:56.519 --> 01:05:01.280
<v Speaker 1>they're mixing the law with Jewish traditions, and it's just

1012
01:05:01.400 --> 01:05:03.719
<v Speaker 1>they just forget the whole reason why the law is

1013
01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:07.599
<v Speaker 1>even there. Like you can have a house burning down

1014
01:05:08.519 --> 01:05:10.280
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, I can't pick the phone up and

1015
01:05:10.360 --> 01:05:13.639
<v Speaker 1>call the police because it's against the Sabbath for me

1016
01:05:13.679 --> 01:05:17.199
<v Speaker 1>to use the phone. I can't save that family because

1017
01:05:17.719 --> 01:05:20.320
<v Speaker 1>it's against the Sabbath. I can't use the phone, so

1018
01:05:20.440 --> 01:05:22.880
<v Speaker 1>we'll just let it burn. This is a true story.

1019
01:05:23.480 --> 01:05:26.679
<v Speaker 2>An apartment kept caught fire and a couple of apartments

1020
01:05:26.719 --> 01:05:29.639
<v Speaker 2>burned down because they had to call the Pharisees or

1021
01:05:29.639 --> 01:05:32.320
<v Speaker 2>whatever are the priests and say, hey, is it against

1022
01:05:32.360 --> 01:05:33.960
<v Speaker 2>the Sabbath to use the phone or talk to a

1023
01:05:33.960 --> 01:05:34.920
<v Speaker 2>priest and say is it again?

1024
01:05:35.119 --> 01:05:37.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? It is? In fact, Okay, no problem, let it burn.

1025
01:05:38.119 --> 01:05:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Do you think God wants you to do that? It's not.

1026
01:05:41.960 --> 01:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>It's just they just took it to the extreme, you see.

1027
01:05:47.400 --> 01:05:51.719
<v Speaker 1>And they're trying to test Jesus right now, and Jesus

1028
01:05:51.719 --> 01:05:58.119
<v Speaker 1>has the perfect he is the word rebuttal okay, So

1029
01:05:58.159 --> 01:06:04.360
<v Speaker 1>what to Joseah, what do Isaiah anything else. Okay, let's continue.

1030
01:06:04.920 --> 01:06:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Now we're going to go to Luke six verse six.

1031
01:06:08.000 --> 01:06:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Now what happened on the other sabbath? Also that he

1032
01:06:11.920 --> 01:06:15.360
<v Speaker 1>entered the synagogue and taught. And a man was there

1033
01:06:15.440 --> 01:06:19.519
<v Speaker 1>whose right hand was withered. So the scribes and pharisees

1034
01:06:19.599 --> 01:06:22.440
<v Speaker 1>watched him closely whether he would heal on the sabbath,

1035
01:06:23.800 --> 01:06:28.519
<v Speaker 1>that they may find an accusation against him. But he

1036
01:06:28.599 --> 01:06:31.119
<v Speaker 1>knew their thoughts and said to the man who had

1037
01:06:31.880 --> 01:06:35.559
<v Speaker 1>whether hand, arise and stand here. And he rose and stood.

1038
01:06:36.039 --> 01:06:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Then Jesus said to them, I will ask you one thing.

1039
01:06:39.400 --> 01:06:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or

1040
01:06:42.000 --> 01:06:45.920
<v Speaker 1>to do evil? To save life or to destroy? And

1041
01:06:45.960 --> 01:06:48.880
<v Speaker 1>when he had looked around at them, he said to them,

1042
01:06:49.239 --> 01:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the man, stretch out your hand. And he did so,

1043
01:06:52.079 --> 01:06:55.480
<v Speaker 1>and his hand was restored as whole as the other.

1044
01:06:55.960 --> 01:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>And they were filled with rage and discussed with one

1045
01:06:59.039 --> 01:07:03.679
<v Speaker 1>another what they might do to Jesus. So you see

1046
01:07:03.679 --> 01:07:08.280
<v Speaker 1>what I mean, He is showing them to do good.

1047
01:07:08.360 --> 01:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Now in Matthew, he brings up the he brings up

1048
01:07:14.360 --> 01:07:16.559
<v Speaker 1>the sheep right, so like if your sheep was to

1049
01:07:16.559 --> 01:07:19.000
<v Speaker 1>fall in the water on the Sabbath, why didn't you

1050
01:07:19.079 --> 01:07:21.599
<v Speaker 1>get the sheep out? Well, what more important is a

1051
01:07:21.639 --> 01:07:25.320
<v Speaker 1>man than a sheep? It's something like that. I'm definitely

1052
01:07:25.360 --> 01:07:28.360
<v Speaker 1>paraphrasing there, you know, I don't need to go back

1053
01:07:28.400 --> 01:07:32.440
<v Speaker 1>to the verse. It's something like that. So this is Luke,

1054
01:07:32.719 --> 01:07:35.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, doing the same exact situation, scenario in situation.

1055
01:07:36.480 --> 01:07:39.119
<v Speaker 1>And also when I was listening to these pastors to

1056
01:07:39.239 --> 01:07:42.400
<v Speaker 1>talk about this situation, they feel like this man was

1057
01:07:42.519 --> 01:07:46.320
<v Speaker 1>planted in order to try to catch Jesus and for

1058
01:07:46.360 --> 01:07:48.960
<v Speaker 1>them to accuse him. That's why it says that they

1059
01:07:49.000 --> 01:07:52.000
<v Speaker 1>were watching him closely whether they would heal in the Sabbath.

1060
01:07:52.039 --> 01:07:54.559
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's almost like they planted the guy there.

1061
01:07:57.239 --> 01:07:59.079
<v Speaker 1>And is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good

1062
01:07:59.119 --> 01:08:02.719
<v Speaker 1>or to do evil, to save life or destroy it? Yes, exactly.

1063
01:08:04.280 --> 01:08:09.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's it's let's see, we're at Luke six

1064
01:08:09.519 --> 01:08:14.920
<v Speaker 1>versus six. Let's see if there's so six one through five,

1065
01:08:14.920 --> 01:08:16.560
<v Speaker 1>which we already went through. It says, well, walk it

1066
01:08:16.600 --> 01:08:18.840
<v Speaker 1>through grainfield of the Sabbath. Jesus broke and plucked and

1067
01:08:18.880 --> 01:08:21.199
<v Speaker 1>eat some grains. Speaking and controversies to the Pharisees, Yes,

1068
01:08:21.239 --> 01:08:26.399
<v Speaker 1>of course. Selection of the twelve Apostles, this is gonna

1069
01:08:26.399 --> 01:08:31.560
<v Speaker 1>be Oh, so there's nothing about the other part. Okay,

1070
01:08:36.039 --> 01:08:43.319
<v Speaker 1>let me see. Okay, so on the others. On another sabbath,

1071
01:08:43.399 --> 01:08:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Jesus heals a man with the withered hand of the synagogue.

1072
01:08:45.600 --> 01:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>The Pharisees watched closely, seeking to accuse him. Jesus asks

1073
01:08:49.039 --> 01:08:51.039
<v Speaker 1>it lawful to do good on the sabbath, to save.

1074
01:08:51.399 --> 01:08:54.279
<v Speaker 1>Now this is on my notes. The healing demonstrates Jesus'

1075
01:08:54.319 --> 01:09:02.880
<v Speaker 1>authority and compassion. Yes, it does, so let's see what

1076
01:09:07.600 --> 01:09:12.640
<v Speaker 1>so the Greek term kitos kurios it it emphasizes jesus

1077
01:09:12.760 --> 01:09:16.000
<v Speaker 1>authority over the Sabbath. It says for that for the

1078
01:09:18.319 --> 01:09:23.279
<v Speaker 1>verses one through five. Now we're in verse six. Let's

1079
01:09:23.359 --> 01:09:27.079
<v Speaker 1>let's go ahead and go there. Well, actually we already

1080
01:09:27.079 --> 01:09:35.520
<v Speaker 1>talked about that he did, and they were filled with

1081
01:09:35.640 --> 01:09:38.119
<v Speaker 1>raids and okay, so now we're actually at Luke six,

1082
01:09:38.359 --> 01:09:40.680
<v Speaker 1>verse twelve. So let me go back to my notes

1083
01:09:40.760 --> 01:09:49.840
<v Speaker 1>and go up Luke six, verse twelve. The twelve Us Apostles,

1084
01:09:50.520 --> 01:09:52.600
<v Speaker 1>this is Luke six, verse twelve says, now it came

1085
01:09:52.640 --> 01:09:54.640
<v Speaker 1>to pass in those days that he went out to

1086
01:09:54.720 --> 01:09:58.439
<v Speaker 1>the mountain to pray and continued all night in prayer

1087
01:09:58.479 --> 01:10:02.399
<v Speaker 1>to God, continued all night in prayer to God. So

1088
01:10:02.720 --> 01:10:07.600
<v Speaker 1>you see that he prays all night. Have you guys

1089
01:10:07.640 --> 01:10:11.600
<v Speaker 1>ever prayed all night? I haven't. I pray at night,

1090
01:10:11.760 --> 01:10:17.760
<v Speaker 1>but I don't pray all night. I know. Sometimes they

1091
01:10:17.800 --> 01:10:21.439
<v Speaker 1>have a it's called glow after glow, I think it

1092
01:10:21.479 --> 01:10:28.880
<v Speaker 1>is where they kind of this happens in Calvary chap.

1093
01:10:28.960 --> 01:10:30.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it happens to you guys a church,

1094
01:10:30.359 --> 01:10:35.920
<v Speaker 1>but it's kind of like that. It's all about praying

1095
01:10:35.960 --> 01:10:40.600
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that. And now we're back to Luke six,

1096
01:10:40.720 --> 01:10:44.079
<v Speaker 1>verse thirteen. And when it was day, he called his

1097
01:10:44.159 --> 01:10:46.960
<v Speaker 1>disciples to himself, and from them he chose twelve, whom

1098
01:10:46.960 --> 01:10:52.600
<v Speaker 1>he also named Apostles, Simon, whom he also named Peter,

1099
01:10:53.600 --> 01:10:58.199
<v Speaker 1>and Andrew, his brother, James, and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

1100
01:10:59.239 --> 01:11:05.119
<v Speaker 1>Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon

1101
01:11:05.319 --> 01:11:11.399
<v Speaker 1>the Zealot, Judas the son of James, and Judas is Scariot,

1102
01:11:11.760 --> 01:11:20.279
<v Speaker 1>who was to become a traitor. Okay, Jesus heals a

1103
01:11:20.439 --> 01:11:24.840
<v Speaker 1>great multitude. This is Luke six verse seventeen. And he

1104
01:11:24.880 --> 01:11:27.560
<v Speaker 1>came down with them and stood on a level place

1105
01:11:27.680 --> 01:11:30.680
<v Speaker 1>with the crowd of his disciples, and a great multitude

1106
01:11:30.680 --> 01:11:33.920
<v Speaker 1>of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the

1107
01:11:34.039 --> 01:11:38.920
<v Speaker 1>sea coast of Tyree and Sidon, who came to hear him,

1108
01:11:38.960 --> 01:11:42.279
<v Speaker 1>and he healed of their diseases, as well as those

1109
01:11:42.319 --> 01:11:47.000
<v Speaker 1>who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed.

1110
01:11:47.119 --> 01:11:50.359
<v Speaker 1>And the whole multitude sought to touch him, for power

1111
01:11:50.760 --> 01:11:55.640
<v Speaker 1>went out from him and healed them all. So he

1112
01:11:55.800 --> 01:12:00.520
<v Speaker 1>is healing, he is casting out demons, he is he

1113
01:12:00.600 --> 01:12:05.680
<v Speaker 1>is just doing great multitudes, are healing, great multitudes here, right,

1114
01:12:06.119 --> 01:12:10.760
<v Speaker 1>So Jesus delivers a sermon commonly known as a sermon

1115
01:12:10.800 --> 01:12:14.840
<v Speaker 1>on the plane. Oh yeah, so yeah, it's known as

1116
01:12:14.880 --> 01:12:18.119
<v Speaker 1>the Sermon on the plane, which is the level place.

1117
01:12:19.520 --> 01:12:23.199
<v Speaker 1>It's very similar to the Sermon on the mount but

1118
01:12:23.279 --> 01:12:30.399
<v Speaker 1>it's not the Sermon on the Mountain. It's different. And

1119
01:12:30.479 --> 01:12:35.039
<v Speaker 1>now we are going to go to Luke six verse twenty.

1120
01:12:35.720 --> 01:12:39.439
<v Speaker 1>Then he lifted up his eyes toward his disciples and said,

1121
01:12:39.800 --> 01:12:44.399
<v Speaker 1>Blessed are you poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God.

1122
01:12:45.279 --> 01:12:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be filled.

1123
01:12:49.840 --> 01:12:54.039
<v Speaker 1>Blessed are you who weep, now, for you shall laugh.

1124
01:12:54.399 --> 01:12:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they

1125
01:12:58.760 --> 01:13:02.920
<v Speaker 1>exclude you and revile you and cast your name as

1126
01:13:03.039 --> 01:13:07.279
<v Speaker 1>evil for the son of man's sake, rejoice in that

1127
01:13:07.439 --> 01:13:11.800
<v Speaker 1>day and leap for joy, For indeed your reward is

1128
01:13:11.840 --> 01:13:15.600
<v Speaker 1>great in heaven. For in like manner their fathers did

1129
01:13:15.640 --> 01:13:20.439
<v Speaker 1>not do to the prophets. For like manners their fathers

1130
01:13:20.520 --> 01:13:25.640
<v Speaker 1>did to the prophets. Right, So now leap for joy.

1131
01:13:25.960 --> 01:13:28.279
<v Speaker 1>Like if you notice John the Baptist, when he was

1132
01:13:28.319 --> 01:13:29.760
<v Speaker 1>in the womb and he was filled with the Holy

1133
01:13:29.800 --> 01:13:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Spirit when he heard about Jesus, what did he do?

1134
01:13:34.279 --> 01:13:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Leaped for joy? Right? I just thought that was a

1135
01:13:38.720 --> 01:13:45.640
<v Speaker 1>cool connection there, the betaitudes. Right, where's that at? Okay,

1136
01:13:45.720 --> 01:13:48.039
<v Speaker 1>Jesus delivers a sermon coming as a sermon on the

1137
01:13:48.039 --> 01:13:51.279
<v Speaker 1>plane to his disciples and the multitudes, preventing blesseds and

1138
01:13:51.319 --> 01:13:57.319
<v Speaker 1>betatudes and woes. Now we're at Oh, that's the seventeenth

1139
01:13:57.319 --> 01:14:00.760
<v Speaker 1>through twenty six. Okay, I'm sorry, going to do all that. Okay,

1140
01:14:00.880 --> 01:14:05.960
<v Speaker 1>we'll continue and uh, blessed are you poor for yours?

1141
01:14:06.039 --> 01:14:17.359
<v Speaker 1>Let me see where that is in the Bibles in psalms. Okay,

1142
01:14:17.439 --> 01:14:40.000
<v Speaker 1>let's check it out. Blessed, blessed are you poor. Oh,

1143
01:14:40.199 --> 01:14:42.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, Maybe it isn't. I thought it was

1144
01:14:42.439 --> 01:14:50.960
<v Speaker 1>a all right, I tried. I thought it was maybe

1145
01:14:51.000 --> 01:14:56.640
<v Speaker 1>a in it. I thought he was quoting the Psalms

1146
01:14:56.680 --> 01:15:02.399
<v Speaker 1>right there. All right, let's continue. Jesus pronounces woes. But

1147
01:15:02.520 --> 01:15:05.880
<v Speaker 1>woe to you who are rich, for you have receive

1148
01:15:06.000 --> 01:15:10.840
<v Speaker 1>your consolation. Woe to you who are full, for you

1149
01:15:10.960 --> 01:15:15.439
<v Speaker 1>shall hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you

1150
01:15:15.520 --> 01:15:18.960
<v Speaker 1>shall mourn and weep. Woe to you when all men

1151
01:15:19.079 --> 01:15:22.399
<v Speaker 1>speak well of you, for so did their fathers to

1152
01:15:22.520 --> 01:15:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the false prophets the woes. Okay, see if there's anything

1153
01:15:30.960 --> 01:15:39.439
<v Speaker 1>that someone on the plane ess losing someone with the

1154
01:15:39.560 --> 01:15:41.960
<v Speaker 1>parable about two builders and the importance. Okay, haven't got

1155
01:15:41.960 --> 01:15:46.399
<v Speaker 1>to that yet. Someone on the plane Love your enemies

1156
01:15:46.399 --> 01:15:51.439
<v Speaker 1>and duoys. That's going to be twenty seven. So what

1157
01:15:51.520 --> 01:15:53.479
<v Speaker 1>the sermon on the plane? Jesus delivers a sermon to

1158
01:15:53.520 --> 01:15:56.840
<v Speaker 1>a large crowd which includes the beatitudes and teachings on

1159
01:15:56.960 --> 01:15:59.960
<v Speaker 1>love your enemies, judging others, and the importance of bearing

1160
01:16:00.039 --> 01:16:03.239
<v Speaker 1>good fruit. Key teachings include blessings you who are poor,

1161
01:16:03.319 --> 01:16:05.760
<v Speaker 1>for yours is the Kingdom of God. Love your enemies,

1162
01:16:05.760 --> 01:16:07.399
<v Speaker 1>and do good to those who hate you, Okay, that's

1163
01:16:07.439 --> 01:16:10.720
<v Speaker 1>going to come up now. So he's just pronouncing the woes.

1164
01:16:10.960 --> 01:16:14.800
<v Speaker 1>So it's looking like, but woe to you are rich,

1165
01:16:15.079 --> 01:16:22.279
<v Speaker 1>for you have received your consolation. So notice it's harder

1166
01:16:22.279 --> 01:16:24.039
<v Speaker 1>for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven,

1167
01:16:24.079 --> 01:16:25.600
<v Speaker 1>that is, for a camel to go through the eye

1168
01:16:25.640 --> 01:16:29.560
<v Speaker 1>of a needle. Notice that the greater, greatest on earth

1169
01:16:29.600 --> 01:16:33.199
<v Speaker 1>will be the least in heaven. Notice what is happening

1170
01:16:33.439 --> 01:16:37.840
<v Speaker 1>also the rich man and Lazareth, right, you read that, Lazaruth, Sorry,

1171
01:16:38.560 --> 01:16:41.119
<v Speaker 1>you read that in Luke sixteen. It's going to be

1172
01:16:41.119 --> 01:16:44.479
<v Speaker 1>coming up in a couple of weeks. Here the man

1173
01:16:44.640 --> 01:16:49.520
<v Speaker 1>was rich eating, throwing his bones, you know, to the dogs,

1174
01:16:49.520 --> 01:16:52.680
<v Speaker 1>and throwing wiping his face with the bread and tossing

1175
01:16:52.680 --> 01:16:55.399
<v Speaker 1>it on the floor, and the poor man was eating.

1176
01:16:55.439 --> 01:17:01.640
<v Speaker 1>That rich man dies. They go into Abraham's bosom and

1177
01:17:01.840 --> 01:17:04.479
<v Speaker 1>Paradise is on one side, and there's a giant chasm

1178
01:17:04.479 --> 01:17:07.760
<v Speaker 1>between them, and then shield is on the other side.

1179
01:17:08.000 --> 01:17:11.880
<v Speaker 1>For the rich man, feet or burning. He just wants

1180
01:17:11.880 --> 01:17:15.359
<v Speaker 1>to drop of water on his tongue. Please. He has

1181
01:17:15.439 --> 01:17:18.840
<v Speaker 1>all five senses. He's able to speak, he's able to hear,

1182
01:17:19.119 --> 01:17:22.119
<v Speaker 1>he's able to smell, he's able to feel, he's able

1183
01:17:22.159 --> 01:17:28.600
<v Speaker 1>to you know, just the five senses, right, So this

1184
01:17:28.760 --> 01:17:32.079
<v Speaker 1>is crazy. Speaking is not one of the senses. I'm sorry,

1185
01:17:32.079 --> 01:17:33.920
<v Speaker 1>But he is able to speak, he's able to hear,

1186
01:17:34.399 --> 01:17:37.680
<v Speaker 1>able to talk, and he's asking him Father Abraham, please

1187
01:17:37.880 --> 01:17:39.880
<v Speaker 1>a Lazarus come put a drop of water on my

1188
01:17:39.960 --> 01:17:43.760
<v Speaker 1>tongue because he's thirsty. So the whole point to that

1189
01:17:43.760 --> 01:17:46.319
<v Speaker 1>that I'm saying is not to teach you about that

1190
01:17:46.439 --> 01:17:50.239
<v Speaker 1>portion yet, but it's to tell you that it's very interesting.

1191
01:17:50.319 --> 01:17:53.800
<v Speaker 1>But woe to you who are rich, for you have

1192
01:17:53.960 --> 01:17:58.279
<v Speaker 1>received your consolation, your consolation prize. Right, you already got

1193
01:17:58.760 --> 01:18:03.119
<v Speaker 1>all your gifts up from you got them front loaded

1194
01:18:03.159 --> 01:18:07.359
<v Speaker 1>to you. But your gifts in heaven will not be

1195
01:18:07.479 --> 01:18:12.640
<v Speaker 1>there depending on how you handle your consolation. Right. Woe

1196
01:18:12.680 --> 01:18:16.119
<v Speaker 1>to you who are full, for you shall hunger, so

1197
01:18:16.159 --> 01:18:20.680
<v Speaker 1>you'll be full on earth, but you will hunger and shield.

1198
01:18:22.800 --> 01:18:25.399
<v Speaker 1>That's the way. That's what I'm feeling that i'm seeing here.

1199
01:18:26.760 --> 01:18:29.239
<v Speaker 1>Woe to you who laugh now, Yeah, you want to

1200
01:18:29.279 --> 01:18:32.760
<v Speaker 1>put down the disciples, you want to exclude them, You

1201
01:18:32.800 --> 01:18:35.920
<v Speaker 1>want to put down Christians, you want to put down God.

1202
01:18:36.239 --> 01:18:39.039
<v Speaker 1>You want to not believe. You can laugh now, but

1203
01:18:39.119 --> 01:18:44.239
<v Speaker 1>you will mourn and weep later when you're in shield

1204
01:18:44.680 --> 01:18:49.680
<v Speaker 1>with feet fire burning, unquenforable thirst. God is not around

1205
01:18:50.119 --> 01:18:52.680
<v Speaker 1>the one that you didn't worship on earth. You're gonna

1206
01:18:52.720 --> 01:18:55.159
<v Speaker 1>wish you worship, and you're gonna wish that God was

1207
01:18:55.199 --> 01:18:58.880
<v Speaker 1>there with you. Woe to you when all men speak

1208
01:18:58.960 --> 01:19:03.760
<v Speaker 1>well of you. Yes, if you're going for that first,

1209
01:19:03.800 --> 01:19:07.279
<v Speaker 1>So did their fathers to the false prophets. So Jesus

1210
01:19:07.359 --> 01:19:13.119
<v Speaker 1>is these we gotta pay attention to, right, We gotta

1211
01:19:13.159 --> 01:19:20.720
<v Speaker 1>pay attention to Love your enemies, Love your enemies. Right.

1212
01:19:23.560 --> 01:19:26.439
<v Speaker 1>But I say to you this is see, this is

1213
01:19:27.880 --> 01:19:31.079
<v Speaker 1>this is the really interesting part because we're going over

1214
01:19:31.119 --> 01:19:33.720
<v Speaker 1>the Old Testament and we're seeing the way God treats

1215
01:19:33.760 --> 01:19:41.079
<v Speaker 1>the enemies of the Israelites. Okay, a lot of the

1216
01:19:41.199 --> 01:19:45.840
<v Speaker 1>enemies of the Israelites are Amorites, and you know, you know,

1217
01:19:47.840 --> 01:19:51.520
<v Speaker 1>descendants of a Knock and all these different giant tribes.

1218
01:19:51.560 --> 01:19:56.159
<v Speaker 1>So we understand those. But this is Jesus, Now, this

1219
01:19:56.239 --> 01:19:59.439
<v Speaker 1>is the New Covenant, right, this is God in the flesh.

1220
01:19:59.600 --> 01:20:02.680
<v Speaker 1>What is he say? But I say to you, this

1221
01:20:02.720 --> 01:20:05.520
<v Speaker 1>is a luke six twenty seven. But I say to

1222
01:20:05.560 --> 01:20:10.079
<v Speaker 1>you who here, love your enemies do good to those

1223
01:20:10.680 --> 01:20:15.279
<v Speaker 1>who hate you. We'll stop there. Why would you be

1224
01:20:15.399 --> 01:20:20.199
<v Speaker 1>doing good to those who hate you? Because your whole

1225
01:20:20.239 --> 01:20:25.720
<v Speaker 1>point now that you're a disciple, is to bring people

1226
01:20:26.000 --> 01:20:30.600
<v Speaker 1>to God, to bring to get people saved. That's your

1227
01:20:30.960 --> 01:20:39.079
<v Speaker 1>whole entire mission. Your fissures of men. So if you

1228
01:20:39.239 --> 01:20:47.880
<v Speaker 1>love your enemies, you will attract that enemy to asking you,

1229
01:20:47.920 --> 01:20:53.920
<v Speaker 1>what is it that's making you this way? Yes, you can.

1230
01:20:53.960 --> 01:20:55.960
<v Speaker 1>You can maybe not attract them to maybe they just

1231
01:20:56.000 --> 01:20:57.479
<v Speaker 1>hate you and they just don't want to talk to you.

1232
01:20:57.880 --> 01:21:00.680
<v Speaker 1>But when you show love to your enemies, that is

1233
01:21:02.680 --> 01:21:05.399
<v Speaker 1>like some bait to be able to reel them in,

1234
01:21:06.600 --> 01:21:09.520
<v Speaker 1>not to become your best friend or your friend. You

1235
01:21:09.560 --> 01:21:12.439
<v Speaker 1>could make him your friend, of course, but your whole

1236
01:21:12.479 --> 01:21:16.760
<v Speaker 1>point is to show them that love, that compassion, so

1237
01:21:16.800 --> 01:21:20.680
<v Speaker 1>that you can assist them into coming to the Lord.

1238
01:21:21.319 --> 01:21:32.000
<v Speaker 1>That is the whole purpose. That's what I see. Bless

1239
01:21:32.039 --> 01:21:35.439
<v Speaker 1>those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully

1240
01:21:36.239 --> 01:21:39.760
<v Speaker 1>use you. So just because someone is doing something wrong

1241
01:21:39.800 --> 01:21:43.840
<v Speaker 1>to you, what do you do? You pray for them,

1242
01:21:44.520 --> 01:21:51.239
<v Speaker 1>and you bless them, show love to them. This is

1243
01:21:51.439 --> 01:21:58.079
<v Speaker 1>God's true personality, coming out to him who strikes you

1244
01:21:58.720 --> 01:22:03.079
<v Speaker 1>on the one cheek, offer the other also, And for

1245
01:22:03.199 --> 01:22:07.079
<v Speaker 1>him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic. Either.

1246
01:22:08.199 --> 01:22:11.399
<v Speaker 1>Give to everyone who asks of you, and from him

1247
01:22:11.399 --> 01:22:14.399
<v Speaker 1>who takes away your goods, do not ask them back.

1248
01:22:15.439 --> 01:22:18.319
<v Speaker 1>Just as you want men to do to you, you

1249
01:22:18.359 --> 01:22:23.920
<v Speaker 1>also do to them likewise. Now I don't see a

1250
01:22:23.960 --> 01:22:27.439
<v Speaker 1>bunch of the disciples getting beat up, and I'm not

1251
01:22:27.479 --> 01:22:31.279
<v Speaker 1>seeing them. I have everything stolen from them, and you know,

1252
01:22:31.479 --> 01:22:35.039
<v Speaker 1>and them just you know, walking around naked. Okay, So

1253
01:22:35.479 --> 01:22:43.439
<v Speaker 1>if they're following what Jesus is saying here, obviously you

1254
01:22:43.479 --> 01:22:49.840
<v Speaker 1>know it is working. You know it would work. Now,

1255
01:22:49.960 --> 01:22:56.119
<v Speaker 1>is it hard for us to understand? Of course, of

1256
01:22:56.159 --> 01:22:58.239
<v Speaker 1>course it is. It is so hard for us to

1257
01:22:58.279 --> 01:23:09.399
<v Speaker 1>understand it is. It's so hard. But there's when you,

1258
01:23:09.479 --> 01:23:13.079
<v Speaker 1>when you do practical application, you're gonna be able to

1259
01:23:13.279 --> 01:23:21.439
<v Speaker 1>assist these people into getting saved. That's what discipleship is about.

1260
01:23:23.520 --> 01:23:26.800
<v Speaker 1>And the people that are watching you treat people like

1261
01:23:26.840 --> 01:23:32.039
<v Speaker 1>this with love compassion, they're gonna also be attracted to

1262
01:23:32.079 --> 01:23:34.920
<v Speaker 1>coming and talk to you to find out what is

1263
01:23:34.960 --> 01:23:37.720
<v Speaker 1>it that you have that I don't because I can't

1264
01:23:37.760 --> 01:23:42.600
<v Speaker 1>do that. How can you be nice to that person?

1265
01:23:43.039 --> 01:23:45.359
<v Speaker 1>How can you pray for that person. How could you

1266
01:23:45.399 --> 01:23:47.960
<v Speaker 1>do all these things? An example is when Paul is

1267
01:23:47.960 --> 01:23:52.520
<v Speaker 1>in prison, he converts. He gets a lot of converts

1268
01:23:52.560 --> 01:23:54.880
<v Speaker 1>while he's in prison, you know, like I mean, he's

1269
01:23:54.920 --> 01:23:58.920
<v Speaker 1>in prison. Those people are treating him probably not good, right,

1270
01:23:59.680 --> 01:24:04.760
<v Speaker 1>And he is still writing letters while he's in there.

1271
01:24:04.920 --> 01:24:08.279
<v Speaker 1>First of all. Second of all, he's attracted people to

1272
01:24:08.319 --> 01:24:12.119
<v Speaker 1>the faith and people are probably seeing, how can you

1273
01:24:12.199 --> 01:24:18.640
<v Speaker 1>be so joyful when you're in prison. You see, we

1274
01:24:18.760 --> 01:24:21.920
<v Speaker 1>got to be separate. We gotta be holy. We got

1275
01:24:21.920 --> 01:24:25.359
<v Speaker 1>to be different than people that are not saved. We

1276
01:24:25.479 --> 01:24:28.840
<v Speaker 1>got to be different. And this is what sets us apart,

1277
01:24:29.399 --> 01:24:33.399
<v Speaker 1>separates the men from the boys, the women from the girls. Right,

1278
01:24:33.520 --> 01:24:36.880
<v Speaker 1>this is what separates the men from the boys. This

1279
01:24:36.960 --> 01:24:41.880
<v Speaker 1>is really walking with God. Like I've seen people in

1280
01:24:43.439 --> 01:24:50.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, in courtrooms where the Green River Killer was

1281
01:24:50.960 --> 01:24:54.680
<v Speaker 1>on trial. He killed like twenty six people and most

1282
01:24:54.720 --> 01:24:57.840
<v Speaker 1>of the people that you know, the he killed daughters,

1283
01:24:57.840 --> 01:24:59.960
<v Speaker 1>who killed a lot of women, right, he would kill

1284
01:25:00.079 --> 01:25:03.079
<v Speaker 1>prostitutes and stuff. And the people that were talking to

1285
01:25:03.159 --> 01:25:05.840
<v Speaker 1>him because they got a chance to speak to him

1286
01:25:06.159 --> 01:25:08.680
<v Speaker 1>when he was sitting there, they were all you know,

1287
01:25:08.960 --> 01:25:10.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of them were I help you rotten hell.

1288
01:25:10.960 --> 01:25:13.439
<v Speaker 1>You're disgusting, you're a piece of this. You're that, You're that.

1289
01:25:14.359 --> 01:25:16.520
<v Speaker 1>But there was this old man that came and I

1290
01:25:16.520 --> 01:25:19.880
<v Speaker 1>guess he had killed his daughter. And he told them,

1291
01:25:20.279 --> 01:25:24.159
<v Speaker 1>I forgive you, and I hope that you come to Jesus,

1292
01:25:25.640 --> 01:25:28.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, And he said, I forgive you, I love you.

1293
01:25:28.880 --> 01:25:33.199
<v Speaker 1>God has love for you. And that made the Green

1294
01:25:33.319 --> 01:25:36.319
<v Speaker 1>River killer who was you know, obviously he had some

1295
01:25:36.640 --> 01:25:40.720
<v Speaker 1>screws loose, right, something was going on, but he actually

1296
01:25:40.760 --> 01:25:43.279
<v Speaker 1>shed a tear, he started crying. You know. That's that's

1297
01:25:43.279 --> 01:25:46.279
<v Speaker 1>the type of love that Jesus is talking about here.

1298
01:25:47.760 --> 01:25:49.760
<v Speaker 1>This is Luke six point thirty two. And I know

1299
01:25:49.840 --> 01:25:52.399
<v Speaker 1>that probably some of it sounds crazy and foreign to

1300
01:25:52.479 --> 01:25:55.039
<v Speaker 1>us because we're not used to being like this, right,

1301
01:25:55.560 --> 01:25:58.119
<v Speaker 1>But this is the one. This is the blueprint. This

1302
01:25:58.159 --> 01:26:02.000
<v Speaker 1>is God speaking to us. God cannot lie. It's impossible

1303
01:26:02.039 --> 01:26:03.600
<v Speaker 1>for God to lie. God is not a man that

1304
01:26:03.600 --> 01:26:06.960
<v Speaker 1>he should lie, right, So listen to this Luke six

1305
01:26:07.159 --> 01:26:10.000
<v Speaker 1>thirty two. But if you love those who love you,

1306
01:26:10.239 --> 01:26:13.880
<v Speaker 1>what credit is that to you? For even sinners love

1307
01:26:13.920 --> 01:26:18.800
<v Speaker 1>those who love them. If you do good to those

1308
01:26:18.840 --> 01:26:21.079
<v Speaker 1>who do good to you, what credit is that to you?

1309
01:26:21.560 --> 01:26:26.079
<v Speaker 1>For even sinners do the same. And if you lend

1310
01:26:26.119 --> 01:26:29.239
<v Speaker 1>to those whom you hope to receive back, what credit

1311
01:26:29.319 --> 01:26:32.439
<v Speaker 1>is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners

1312
01:26:32.520 --> 01:26:36.039
<v Speaker 1>to receive as much back. But love your enemies, do

1313
01:26:36.239 --> 01:26:41.720
<v Speaker 1>good and lend hoping for nothing in return, and your

1314
01:26:41.760 --> 01:26:43.399
<v Speaker 1>reward will be great.

1315
01:26:44.079 --> 01:26:45.640
<v Speaker 3>You mean that I'm gonna get a bunch of money

1316
01:26:45.680 --> 01:26:48.920
<v Speaker 3>back and I'm gonna be rich on earth. No, your

1317
01:26:48.960 --> 01:26:52.039
<v Speaker 3>reward in heaven will be great, and you will be

1318
01:26:52.760 --> 01:26:55.079
<v Speaker 3>sons of the most High right.

1319
01:26:57.439 --> 01:27:01.319
<v Speaker 1>For He is kind to the un thankful and evil.

1320
01:27:02.159 --> 01:27:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Therefore be merciful, just as your father is. Also your

1321
01:27:08.000 --> 01:27:16.880
<v Speaker 1>father also is merciful. I mean, it's just such a blessing, right,

1322
01:27:17.159 --> 01:27:21.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is just you understand, Okay, Obviously you're

1323
01:27:21.880 --> 01:27:25.279
<v Speaker 1>gonna love those who love you. You think that that, you

1324
01:27:25.279 --> 01:27:28.239
<v Speaker 1>think that God's gonna go, Oh, you're doing awesome. Man.

1325
01:27:28.399 --> 01:27:31.399
<v Speaker 1>You love that person who loves you. That's amazing. He

1326
01:27:31.479 --> 01:27:35.920
<v Speaker 1>wants you to love those that despise you, you know. And

1327
01:27:35.960 --> 01:27:38.600
<v Speaker 1>then it says, you know, also, this is an important

1328
01:27:38.600 --> 01:27:42.479
<v Speaker 1>one for us. If you lend to those whom you

1329
01:27:42.520 --> 01:27:45.359
<v Speaker 1>hope to receive back, what credit is that to you?

1330
01:27:45.439 --> 01:27:48.000
<v Speaker 1>For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back.

1331
01:27:49.680 --> 01:27:53.760
<v Speaker 1>That's the one right there, right, Wow, But love your enemies.

1332
01:27:53.840 --> 01:27:58.079
<v Speaker 1>You know you should lend. You know, you should help people, right,

1333
01:27:58.199 --> 01:27:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's the whole thing here that Jesus is

1334
01:27:59.720 --> 01:28:01.920
<v Speaker 1>talking about. And you should do it with the with

1335
01:28:01.960 --> 01:28:06.119
<v Speaker 1>the with the good conscious and a good heart. And

1336
01:28:06.680 --> 01:28:09.239
<v Speaker 1>don't lend though if you're gonna like be, don't lend

1337
01:28:09.279 --> 01:28:10.920
<v Speaker 1>money out though, if you're gonna be gonna make you

1338
01:28:11.039 --> 01:28:13.560
<v Speaker 1>laid on your mortgage and your or your rent, or

1339
01:28:13.600 --> 01:28:16.279
<v Speaker 1>you're not feeding your kids. That that I wouldn't. I

1340
01:28:16.279 --> 01:28:20.960
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't suggest that, but you know it's it's you know,

1341
01:28:21.319 --> 01:28:26.800
<v Speaker 1>it depends case my case scenario. I'm just saying, have

1342
01:28:26.920 --> 01:28:30.319
<v Speaker 1>faith in the Lord. If you start following these what

1343
01:28:30.560 --> 01:28:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Jesus is saying, have faith that God's going to take

1344
01:28:32.880 --> 01:28:36.680
<v Speaker 1>care of you anyways. So all right, So now we're

1345
01:28:36.680 --> 01:28:41.239
<v Speaker 1>in Luke six thirty seven, The Parable of the Wise. No,

1346
01:28:41.399 --> 01:28:46.399
<v Speaker 1>this is the do not judge, judge not, and you

1347
01:28:46.399 --> 01:28:48.920
<v Speaker 1>should not be judged, condemned not, and you shall not

1348
01:28:49.000 --> 01:28:53.560
<v Speaker 1>be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. Give and

1349
01:28:53.600 --> 01:28:56.960
<v Speaker 1>it will be given to you good measure pressed down,

1350
01:28:57.560 --> 01:29:02.760
<v Speaker 1>shaken together and running over will be put into your

1351
01:29:02.920 --> 01:29:06.239
<v Speaker 1>your bosom, for which the same measure that you use

1352
01:29:06.439 --> 01:29:10.880
<v Speaker 1>it will be measured back to you. Do not judge

1353
01:29:11.439 --> 01:29:18.640
<v Speaker 1>whoa judge not, and you shall be not be judged. Yeah,

1354
01:29:19.159 --> 01:29:27.479
<v Speaker 1>I mean condemnight you shall begin forgive, Yeah, you should

1355
01:29:27.520 --> 01:29:29.840
<v Speaker 1>you shall be forgiven, of course, judge not, you shall

1356
01:29:29.880 --> 01:29:33.720
<v Speaker 1>not be judged. You know, say, very very important right there,

1357
01:29:34.039 --> 01:29:44.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, because it's it's very easy for us to

1358
01:29:44.960 --> 01:29:48.399
<v Speaker 1>fall into, you know, judging people. You know, we're not

1359
01:29:48.520 --> 01:29:51.319
<v Speaker 1>the judge. God is the judge, right, so it's very

1360
01:29:51.359 --> 01:29:57.600
<v Speaker 1>easy for us to fall into that. But Jesus is

1361
01:29:57.640 --> 01:29:59.840
<v Speaker 1>the same. Don't do it. Condemn not and you should

1362
01:29:59.840 --> 01:30:03.720
<v Speaker 1>not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. That's

1363
01:30:03.760 --> 01:30:08.880
<v Speaker 1>another one. Uh, Now is it talking about? Is this

1364
01:30:08.960 --> 01:30:13.119
<v Speaker 1>talking about all of our sins? You know, well, Jesus

1365
01:30:12.640 --> 01:30:16.119
<v Speaker 1>covers us for all of our sins, but we're still

1366
01:30:16.560 --> 01:30:21.640
<v Speaker 1>committing sins in the meantime, right and God, and we

1367
01:30:21.680 --> 01:30:24.560
<v Speaker 1>get punished for those sins, you know. So it says,

1368
01:30:24.560 --> 01:30:28.479
<v Speaker 1>forgive and you will be forgiven. Right, give and it

1369
01:30:28.520 --> 01:30:31.399
<v Speaker 1>will be given to you good measure, pressed down, shaken together, Yes,

1370
01:30:31.439 --> 01:30:33.520
<v Speaker 1>and and you know, give and it will be given

1371
01:30:33.560 --> 01:30:36.359
<v Speaker 1>to you. I don't think that Jesus is referring to

1372
01:30:36.760 --> 01:30:39.439
<v Speaker 1>give and then you're gonna become rich, are we? You're

1373
01:30:39.439 --> 01:30:42.279
<v Speaker 1>gonna get tenfold if you give. It's I think it's

1374
01:30:42.279 --> 01:30:44.960
<v Speaker 1>talking about treasures that you're gonna receive in heaven. Right,

1375
01:30:45.520 --> 01:30:47.359
<v Speaker 1>That's what I think it is. You know, when you

1376
01:30:47.399 --> 01:30:50.319
<v Speaker 1>go to the judgment seat of Christ or the being

1377
01:30:50.359 --> 01:30:53.399
<v Speaker 1>the seat of Christ, he's gonna take all your works

1378
01:30:53.439 --> 01:30:55.760
<v Speaker 1>and he's gonna put him in the fire and whatever

1379
01:30:55.840 --> 01:30:58.920
<v Speaker 1>comes out will be your gifts in heaven. And it's

1380
01:30:58.960 --> 01:31:02.439
<v Speaker 1>all about your heart and what you were doing those

1381
01:31:03.479 --> 01:31:09.760
<v Speaker 1>things for. All right. So we're at Luke six, verse

1382
01:31:09.800 --> 01:31:13.319
<v Speaker 1>thirty nine, and he spoke a parable to them. Can

1383
01:31:13.399 --> 01:31:19.479
<v Speaker 1>the blind lead the blind? What they not both? Will

1384
01:31:19.520 --> 01:31:22.760
<v Speaker 1>they not both fall into a ditch? A disciple is

1385
01:31:22.800 --> 01:31:26.920
<v Speaker 1>not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained

1386
01:31:26.960 --> 01:31:31.039
<v Speaker 1>will be like his teacher. And why do you look

1387
01:31:31.119 --> 01:31:34.079
<v Speaker 1>at the spec in your brother's eye, but do not

1388
01:31:34.239 --> 01:31:40.640
<v Speaker 1>perceive the plank in your own eye? That's speaking of judging,

1389
01:31:40.880 --> 01:31:47.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, very important. So we could break that down,

1390
01:31:47.640 --> 01:31:51.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, Or can you say to your brother brother,

1391
01:31:51.159 --> 01:31:53.239
<v Speaker 1>let me remove the spec that is in your eye

1392
01:31:53.920 --> 01:31:56.920
<v Speaker 1>when you yourself do not seek the plank that is

1393
01:31:56.960 --> 01:32:01.000
<v Speaker 1>in your own eye. Hypocrite, First the plank from your

1394
01:32:01.079 --> 01:32:04.039
<v Speaker 1>own eye. Then you will see clearly to remove the

1395
01:32:04.039 --> 01:32:07.800
<v Speaker 1>spectatus in your brother's eye. We're quick to point out

1396
01:32:07.920 --> 01:32:12.960
<v Speaker 1>someone else's flaws without realizing the flaw that we have first.

1397
01:32:13.640 --> 01:32:16.319
<v Speaker 1>And it seems like Jesus is saying, your flaw is

1398
01:32:16.359 --> 01:32:18.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot bigger than that little one you're trying to

1399
01:32:18.960 --> 01:32:23.800
<v Speaker 1>point out to that person. And Jesus is speaking to

1400
01:32:23.840 --> 01:32:28.319
<v Speaker 1>them them at that very moment. Of course this can

1401
01:32:28.359 --> 01:32:32.439
<v Speaker 1>be applied to our life, but he is speaking to

1402
01:32:32.720 --> 01:32:38.159
<v Speaker 1>them at that moment. And I'm sure that people were

1403
01:32:38.199 --> 01:32:41.359
<v Speaker 1>doing these things and that's why Jesus needed to specifically

1404
01:32:41.399 --> 01:32:52.159
<v Speaker 1>point this out. Yeah, this happens a lot. I see

1405
01:32:52.199 --> 01:32:54.359
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people that do this stuff, you know,

1406
01:32:54.439 --> 01:32:59.399
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of people do it. Okay. A tree

1407
01:33:00.560 --> 01:33:04.560
<v Speaker 1>is known by its fruit, for a good tree does

1408
01:33:04.640 --> 01:33:09.239
<v Speaker 1>not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear

1409
01:33:09.399 --> 01:33:13.119
<v Speaker 1>good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit.

1410
01:33:14.079 --> 01:33:18.079
<v Speaker 1>For men do not gather figs from thorns, do they?

1411
01:33:18.159 --> 01:33:21.439
<v Speaker 1>Nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. A

1412
01:33:21.560 --> 01:33:23.520
<v Speaker 1>good man out of the good treasure of his heart

1413
01:33:23.520 --> 01:33:26.600
<v Speaker 1>brings forth good, and an evil man out of the

1414
01:33:26.680 --> 01:33:30.159
<v Speaker 1>evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out

1415
01:33:30.199 --> 01:33:36.079
<v Speaker 1>of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks. So

1416
01:33:36.239 --> 01:33:42.800
<v Speaker 1>let's let's see what's going on here, all right, hold on,

1417
01:33:42.960 --> 01:33:56.840
<v Speaker 1>let's good, let's good, let's go here, we go okay. So,

1418
01:33:56.920 --> 01:34:00.039
<v Speaker 1>the tree represents a person or a group, and the

1419
01:34:00.079 --> 01:34:04.880
<v Speaker 1>fruit represents their actions, words, and overall quality of their character. Application.

1420
01:34:05.399 --> 01:34:10.279
<v Speaker 1>A good tree person will produce good fruit actions. Well,

1421
01:34:10.319 --> 01:34:15.199
<v Speaker 1>a bad tree person will produce bad fruit actions. Example,

1422
01:34:15.279 --> 01:34:18.640
<v Speaker 1>instead of judging someone based on their claims or appearances,

1423
01:34:18.920 --> 01:34:21.279
<v Speaker 1>you should judge them by the quality of their actions

1424
01:34:21.279 --> 01:34:25.119
<v Speaker 1>and the results they produce. Some interpretations extend this concept

1425
01:34:25.119 --> 01:34:28.560
<v Speaker 1>to exclude a person's offspring, suggest that a child's character

1426
01:34:28.600 --> 01:34:32.159
<v Speaker 1>often reflects that of their parents. That's something. Yeah, that's

1427
01:34:32.520 --> 01:34:37.920
<v Speaker 1>an interesting take. All right, let's go back, and let's

1428
01:34:38.000 --> 01:34:48.479
<v Speaker 1>go here Jesus and let's see okay, So okay, So

1429
01:34:48.600 --> 01:34:51.039
<v Speaker 1>Jesus uses the metaphor of a tree and it's fruit

1430
01:34:51.039 --> 01:34:53.399
<v Speaker 1>to illustrate a person's actions. We already talked about that

1431
01:34:53.960 --> 01:34:57.479
<v Speaker 1>judging others. Let's go back real quick, and let's take

1432
01:34:57.479 --> 01:35:04.039
<v Speaker 1>on what this says. This judging others warns against hypocritical

1433
01:35:04.159 --> 01:35:08.159
<v Speaker 1>judgment and emphasizes forgiveness and self examination. The Greek term

1434
01:35:08.840 --> 01:35:13.439
<v Speaker 1>chrino is used for judge, suggesting discernment rather than condemnation.

1435
01:35:14.159 --> 01:35:18.079
<v Speaker 1>Love your enemies that portion, it says, Jesus teaches radical love,

1436
01:35:18.119 --> 01:35:21.119
<v Speaker 1>instructing his followers to love their enemies and do good

1437
01:35:21.159 --> 01:35:24.359
<v Speaker 1>to those who hate them. The Greek word a quapoole

1438
01:35:25.000 --> 01:35:31.239
<v Speaker 1>is used for love, denoting selflessness and unconditional love. So

1439
01:35:31.399 --> 01:35:34.840
<v Speaker 1>now we're going to go to the build on the

1440
01:35:35.000 --> 01:35:41.960
<v Speaker 1>rock Luke six forty six. But why do you call

1441
01:35:42.039 --> 01:35:44.840
<v Speaker 1>me lord? Lord? And do not do the things which

1442
01:35:44.880 --> 01:35:47.840
<v Speaker 1>I say? Whoever comes to me and here's my sayings

1443
01:35:47.840 --> 01:35:51.359
<v Speaker 1>and does them, I will show them whom he is like.

1444
01:35:52.119 --> 01:35:54.279
<v Speaker 1>And he is like a man building a house who

1445
01:35:54.439 --> 01:35:57.239
<v Speaker 1>dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock, and

1446
01:35:57.279 --> 01:36:04.439
<v Speaker 1>when the flood arose, the stream vehemently against, vehemently against

1447
01:36:04.439 --> 01:36:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the house, and could not shake it, for it was

1448
01:36:08.720 --> 01:36:11.920
<v Speaker 1>founded on the rock. But he who heard and did

1449
01:36:11.960 --> 01:36:14.159
<v Speaker 1>nothing is like a man who built a house on

1450
01:36:14.239 --> 01:36:18.640
<v Speaker 1>the earth without a foundation. Against the stream beat vehemently,

1451
01:36:18.760 --> 01:36:21.600
<v Speaker 1>and immediately it fell, and the ruin of the house

1452
01:36:21.800 --> 01:36:26.359
<v Speaker 1>was great, so it's gonna be. Jesus concludes with a

1453
01:36:26.439 --> 01:36:30.399
<v Speaker 1>parable about building on a solid foundation, emphasizing the importance

1454
01:36:30.399 --> 01:36:34.760
<v Speaker 1>of putting his words into practice. The Greek word themlos

1455
01:36:34.880 --> 01:36:40.199
<v Speaker 1>themalias for foundation signifies the stability and strength in one's

1456
01:36:40.239 --> 01:36:46.800
<v Speaker 1>life through obedience to Christ. Makes perfect sense. Let's go

1457
01:36:46.840 --> 01:36:58.760
<v Speaker 1>ahead and look at the practical the teaching points for

1458
01:36:59.279 --> 01:37:02.039
<v Speaker 1>the beat to two, which is Luke six twenty through

1459
01:37:02.039 --> 01:37:06.239
<v Speaker 1>twenty three. Jesus begins with blessings for the poor, hungry, weeping,

1460
01:37:06.279 --> 01:37:09.239
<v Speaker 1>and persecuted, emphasizing the value of the Kingdom of God

1461
01:37:09.479 --> 01:37:13.119
<v Speaker 1>a men. Woes to the self satisfied Luke six twenty

1462
01:37:13.159 --> 01:37:15.960
<v Speaker 1>four through twenty six, a warning to those who find

1463
01:37:16.000 --> 01:37:20.840
<v Speaker 1>comfort and wealth fullness, laughter, and human approval, highlighting the

1464
01:37:20.880 --> 01:37:24.319
<v Speaker 1>temporary nature of wordly satisfaction. Yes, that is very true.

1465
01:37:24.359 --> 01:37:29.279
<v Speaker 1>See that's the woes that we were talking about. Comfort

1466
01:37:29.279 --> 01:37:35.239
<v Speaker 1>in wealth, right, so greed, comfort in wealth fullness, laughter,

1467
01:37:35.359 --> 01:37:38.680
<v Speaker 1>and human approval. That is temporary. That's something that you

1468
01:37:38.920 --> 01:37:42.439
<v Speaker 1>know your flesh will desire. But we need to feed

1469
01:37:42.479 --> 01:37:46.680
<v Speaker 1>the spirit, right, we need to feed the spirit. Next,

1470
01:37:46.760 --> 01:37:53.680
<v Speaker 1>we have hope to that love your enemies Jesus calls

1471
01:37:53.800 --> 01:37:57.000
<v Speaker 1>us to love our enemies, do good to those who

1472
01:37:57.000 --> 01:37:59.720
<v Speaker 1>hate us, and be merciful to those just as our

1473
01:37:59.720 --> 01:38:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Father merciful. Yes, judging others Luke, six thirty seven to

1474
01:38:05.079 --> 01:38:09.600
<v Speaker 1>forty two, A caution against hypocrisy and the importance of

1475
01:38:09.720 --> 01:38:15.439
<v Speaker 1>self examination before judging others. Right tree and its fruit,

1476
01:38:15.479 --> 01:38:18.359
<v Speaker 1>the principle that a good tree produces good fruit. Illustrating

1477
01:38:18.399 --> 01:38:22.640
<v Speaker 1>our actions reflect our hearts. The wise and foolish builders

1478
01:38:22.720 --> 01:38:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Luke six forty six forty nine A parable emphasizing the

1479
01:38:26.800 --> 01:38:31.720
<v Speaker 1>importance to not just not just hearing Jesus words, but

1480
01:38:31.840 --> 01:38:37.039
<v Speaker 1>putting them into action. So important. Let's look at some

1481
01:38:37.079 --> 01:38:42.159
<v Speaker 1>practical applications for this chapter. Embrace Kingdom Values. Reflect on

1482
01:38:42.239 --> 01:38:45.520
<v Speaker 1>how you can embody the beatitudes in your daily life,

1483
01:38:46.000 --> 01:38:52.119
<v Speaker 1>prioritizing spiritual writtness over material wealth. That is definitely true.

1484
01:38:52.359 --> 01:39:00.439
<v Speaker 1>Feed the spirit and not the flesh. That's it. Practice

1485
01:39:00.600 --> 01:39:03.960
<v Speaker 1>radical love. Identify ways to show love and kindness to

1486
01:39:04.000 --> 01:39:09.159
<v Speaker 1>those who may not reciprocate following Jesus example of loving enemies. Yeah,

1487
01:39:09.279 --> 01:39:13.319
<v Speaker 1>try that, Try to do that. I get comments on

1488
01:39:13.359 --> 01:39:15.920
<v Speaker 1>my YouTube where some people will attack and do this.

1489
01:39:16.600 --> 01:39:20.279
<v Speaker 1>I try to be loving. No, I mean, everybody can

1490
01:39:20.319 --> 01:39:23.399
<v Speaker 1>have their own opinion. Fine, just try to be nice

1491
01:39:23.399 --> 01:39:35.159
<v Speaker 1>as you can. Okay, So we have cultivate mercy, seek

1492
01:39:35.199 --> 01:39:40.399
<v Speaker 1>opportunities to extend mercy and forgiveness. Remembering God's mercy towards you.

1493
01:39:41.520 --> 01:39:49.039
<v Speaker 1>Very great point, because God's forgiveness or mercy towards us,

1494
01:39:49.079 --> 01:39:52.039
<v Speaker 1>it's just so asked his grace. This is beautiful, right,

1495
01:39:52.600 --> 01:39:56.560
<v Speaker 1>self reflection. Regularly examine your own heart and actions before

1496
01:39:56.600 --> 01:40:06.960
<v Speaker 1>passing judgment on others. Yeah, that that whole thing is

1497
01:40:07.279 --> 01:40:11.079
<v Speaker 1>so important. You know. Sometimes we pass judgment on others.

1498
01:40:11.399 --> 01:40:13.840
<v Speaker 1>We're always watching what other people other people are doing

1499
01:40:14.319 --> 01:40:17.319
<v Speaker 1>instead of reflecting on what we're doing. Right, We need

1500
01:40:17.359 --> 01:40:20.680
<v Speaker 1>to We need to look at ourselves. Right, bear good fruit.

1501
01:40:20.760 --> 01:40:24.399
<v Speaker 1>Focus on nurturing a heart aligned with Christ, knowing that

1502
01:40:24.439 --> 01:40:28.359
<v Speaker 1>your actions will naturally follow. Build on the rock. Commit

1503
01:40:28.439 --> 01:40:31.840
<v Speaker 1>to not only hearing, but also applying Jesus's teachings in

1504
01:40:31.880 --> 01:40:36.520
<v Speaker 1>your life, ensuring a strong foundation. If the Bible is

1505
01:40:36.560 --> 01:40:41.239
<v Speaker 1>your foundation and anything you go into, including conspiracies and

1506
01:40:41.279 --> 01:40:43.520
<v Speaker 1>all the stuff that you know that we go into,

1507
01:40:43.560 --> 01:40:46.479
<v Speaker 1>if you have the foundation of the real truth, which

1508
01:40:46.520 --> 01:40:50.960
<v Speaker 1>is Biblical Jesus is the way, the truth, the life.

1509
01:40:51.000 --> 01:40:53.359
<v Speaker 1>If you have that as your foundation, and you go

1510
01:40:53.479 --> 01:40:58.319
<v Speaker 1>into any of these, uh any situation, and you were

1511
01:40:58.359 --> 01:41:01.840
<v Speaker 1>able to look back on verse and as you're going

1512
01:41:01.880 --> 01:41:05.439
<v Speaker 1>through scenarios, think of verses that assist you to go

1513
01:41:05.520 --> 01:41:09.960
<v Speaker 1>through those scenarios. Your life will be so much better,

1514
01:41:11.800 --> 01:41:15.880
<v Speaker 1>so much better than before, so much better, you know.

1515
01:41:16.199 --> 01:41:19.800
<v Speaker 1>So it's just and when you start applying the teachings

1516
01:41:19.920 --> 01:41:24.199
<v Speaker 1>in your life, if everybody applied everything that Jesus is

1517
01:41:24.239 --> 01:41:27.960
<v Speaker 1>talking about here, there'd be no wars, there'd be no problems,

1518
01:41:28.000 --> 01:41:30.319
<v Speaker 1>no one stealing, no one killing, no one murdering, no

1519
01:41:30.359 --> 01:41:37.840
<v Speaker 1>one's selling drugs. No, it would just be, you know,

1520
01:41:39.439 --> 01:41:41.640
<v Speaker 1>it would be exactly how it's going to be on

1521
01:41:41.680 --> 01:41:46.880
<v Speaker 1>the New Heaven and New Earth, Okay, after revelation. So

1522
01:41:47.920 --> 01:41:50.600
<v Speaker 1>we're waiting for that. We're praying for that. We can't

1523
01:41:50.640 --> 01:42:01.520
<v Speaker 1>wait for that, right okay, And I already want to

1524
01:42:01.520 --> 01:42:06.399
<v Speaker 1>do that. Additional Scriptures Matthew five three through twelve The

1525
01:42:06.399 --> 01:42:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Beatitudes that's coming on the Mount, offering a parallel of

1526
01:42:08.880 --> 01:42:12.439
<v Speaker 1>Luke's account Romans twelve Paul's actuation to bless those who

1527
01:42:12.439 --> 01:42:15.199
<v Speaker 1>persecute you and overcome evil with good. So we'll go

1528
01:42:15.239 --> 01:42:19.439
<v Speaker 1>to Romans twelve fourteen. This is going to be blessed.

1529
01:42:19.520 --> 01:42:24.279
<v Speaker 1>Those who persecute you bless and do not curse. Okay,

1530
01:42:24.399 --> 01:42:30.119
<v Speaker 1>So that's Paul emphasizing that James one twenty two through

1531
01:42:30.119 --> 01:42:33.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty five the importance of being doers of the word,

1532
01:42:34.119 --> 01:42:37.199
<v Speaker 1>not just heres. And while I'm doing that, let me

1533
01:42:37.239 --> 01:42:47.399
<v Speaker 1>see how big Luke seven is. All right, we'll kick

1534
01:42:47.439 --> 01:42:54.880
<v Speaker 1>butt and go through Luke seven. Yeah, let's do that.

1535
01:42:57.560 --> 01:43:01.359
<v Speaker 1>Let's go through Luke seven. We got about twenty minutes. Okay,

1536
01:43:01.439 --> 01:43:05.520
<v Speaker 1>so I might not do as much exhorting exhortation on here.

1537
01:43:06.880 --> 01:43:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Jesus heals a centurion servant Luke seven, verse one. Now,

1538
01:43:11.600 --> 01:43:14.319
<v Speaker 1>when he concluded all his sayings in the hearing of

1539
01:43:14.399 --> 01:43:19.000
<v Speaker 1>the people, he entered Capernaum, and a certain centurion servant,

1540
01:43:19.319 --> 01:43:21.800
<v Speaker 1>who is dear to him, was sick and ready to die.

1541
01:43:22.399 --> 01:43:24.840
<v Speaker 1>So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders to

1542
01:43:24.920 --> 01:43:27.119
<v Speaker 1>the Jews to him, pleading with him to come and

1543
01:43:27.159 --> 01:43:30.359
<v Speaker 1>heal his servant. And when they came to Jesus, they

1544
01:43:30.399 --> 01:43:33.960
<v Speaker 1>begged him earnestly, saying that the one of whom he

1545
01:43:34.000 --> 01:43:39.000
<v Speaker 1>should do do this was deserving, for he loves our

1546
01:43:39.119 --> 01:43:48.479
<v Speaker 1>nation and was as has built us a synagogue. It

1547
01:43:48.560 --> 01:43:52.720
<v Speaker 1>says sorry, saying to the one for whom he should do,

1548
01:43:52.800 --> 01:43:56.079
<v Speaker 1>this was deserving, for he loves our nation and has

1549
01:43:56.119 --> 01:43:59.880
<v Speaker 1>built us a synagogue. So he seems to be as

1550
01:44:00.079 --> 01:44:06.119
<v Speaker 1>somebody with a lot of money. And Jesus went with him.

1551
01:44:06.439 --> 01:44:08.880
<v Speaker 1>And when he was all this is Luke seven, verse six.

1552
01:44:09.800 --> 01:44:12.199
<v Speaker 1>And when he was already not far from the house,

1553
01:44:12.279 --> 01:44:15.720
<v Speaker 1>the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord,

1554
01:44:16.239 --> 01:44:18.840
<v Speaker 1>do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy that

1555
01:44:18.920 --> 01:44:22.520
<v Speaker 1>you should enter under my roof. Therefore I did not

1556
01:44:22.680 --> 01:44:26.960
<v Speaker 1>even think myself worthy to come to you. But say

1557
01:44:27.000 --> 01:44:29.640
<v Speaker 1>the word, and my servant will be healed. For I

1558
01:44:29.640 --> 01:44:33.960
<v Speaker 1>am also a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me.

1559
01:44:34.600 --> 01:44:38.399
<v Speaker 1>And I say to one go and he goes, and

1560
01:44:38.439 --> 01:44:41.319
<v Speaker 1>to another come and he comes, and to my servant,

1561
01:44:41.399 --> 01:44:45.720
<v Speaker 1>do this, and he does it. So this is the

1562
01:44:45.800 --> 01:44:51.159
<v Speaker 1>type of faith that we should have. He knows that

1563
01:44:51.279 --> 01:44:53.159
<v Speaker 1>Jesus doesn't even need to go there. He could just

1564
01:44:53.199 --> 01:44:57.279
<v Speaker 1>say it and he will be healed. He also seems

1565
01:44:57.319 --> 01:45:02.079
<v Speaker 1>like a commander. Let me see if a Roman satranny

1566
01:45:02.159 --> 01:45:05.399
<v Speaker 1>demonstrate is a centurion. He demonstrates remarkable faith in jesus

1567
01:45:05.399 --> 01:45:09.119
<v Speaker 1>healing power. What is a Roman centurion. Let me see

1568
01:45:09.159 --> 01:45:12.560
<v Speaker 1>real quick, give me one second, and when I look

1569
01:45:12.560 --> 01:45:14.760
<v Speaker 1>stuff like this up, it's just because for you guys

1570
01:45:14.840 --> 01:45:21.159
<v Speaker 1>and for me Roman centurion, I know that I had

1571
01:45:19.359 --> 01:45:26.359
<v Speaker 1>a military officer demonstrates remarkable faith. Okay, yeah, he's a

1572
01:45:26.399 --> 01:45:30.079
<v Speaker 1>military officer, right, so probably I higher up in the military. Right.

1573
01:45:30.319 --> 01:45:37.520
<v Speaker 1>So the centurian's faith, this Tarnian, despite being a Roman

1574
01:45:37.600 --> 01:45:41.079
<v Speaker 1>and not Jewish, expresses great faith in Jesus' power, stating, Lord,

1575
01:45:41.119 --> 01:45:43.159
<v Speaker 1>I am not worthy to have you come under my roof,

1576
01:45:43.520 --> 01:45:46.600
<v Speaker 1>but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. Yes,

1577
01:45:46.720 --> 01:45:52.399
<v Speaker 1>so all right, let's see. So this is Luke seven,

1578
01:45:52.560 --> 01:45:55.840
<v Speaker 1>verse nine. When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at

1579
01:45:55.920 --> 01:45:59.399
<v Speaker 1>him and turned and said to the crowd that followed him,

1580
01:45:59.479 --> 01:46:02.319
<v Speaker 1>I say to you, I have not found such great faith,

1581
01:46:02.399 --> 01:46:05.840
<v Speaker 1>not even in Israel. And those who were sent returning

1582
01:46:05.880 --> 01:46:09.439
<v Speaker 1>to the house found the servant well, who had been sick.

1583
01:46:09.600 --> 01:46:13.680
<v Speaker 1>You see, marveled. There's another time when Jesus is in

1584
01:46:13.720 --> 01:46:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Galilee and he says he's marveled at the unbelief. This

1585
01:46:18.079 --> 01:46:21.720
<v Speaker 1>is a scenario where he's marveled at the belief and

1586
01:46:21.760 --> 01:46:26.439
<v Speaker 1>the faith marveled means amazed. So he's amazed by this

1587
01:46:27.119 --> 01:46:37.159
<v Speaker 1>military centurion. Faith. Right, So let's go to Luke seven

1588
01:46:37.279 --> 01:46:46.880
<v Speaker 1>in my notes here. Okay, So Luke seven eleven through seven,

1589
01:46:47.079 --> 01:46:49.399
<v Speaker 1>looks like is Jesus raising the son of a widow.

1590
01:46:50.439 --> 01:46:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Let me see if there's any kid. So on healing

1591
01:46:56.039 --> 01:47:01.520
<v Speaker 1>of the Centurian servant. After Jesus finished his teachings, he

1592
01:47:01.640 --> 01:47:04.600
<v Speaker 1>entered Capernium. A Copernium's servant, whom he had highly valued,

1593
01:47:04.720 --> 01:47:07.279
<v Speaker 1>was sick and near death. The centurion sent Jewish elders

1594
01:47:07.279 --> 01:47:10.800
<v Speaker 1>to ask Jesus to heal his servant. The elders pleaded earnestly,

1595
01:47:10.880 --> 01:47:13.760
<v Speaker 1>saying the centurion was worthy because he loved their nation

1596
01:47:13.880 --> 01:47:17.119
<v Speaker 1>and built their synagogue. Jesus went to them, but before

1597
01:47:17.159 --> 01:47:19.399
<v Speaker 1>he arrived, the centurion sent friends to say he was

1598
01:47:19.439 --> 01:47:21.800
<v Speaker 1>not worthy to have Jesus come under his roof. He

1599
01:47:21.920 --> 01:47:25.760
<v Speaker 1>expressed faith that Jesus could heal with just a word.

1600
01:47:25.840 --> 01:47:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Jesus marvelous faith and healed. Okay, cool, there we go.

1601
01:47:28.800 --> 01:47:34.560
<v Speaker 1>We have that, and let me get back up to

1602
01:47:35.439 --> 01:47:38.920
<v Speaker 1>we'd explaining it. Okay, cool, perfect, all right, So let's

1603
01:47:38.960 --> 01:47:43.039
<v Speaker 1>go here Luke seven, verse eleven. Jesus raises the son

1604
01:47:43.600 --> 01:47:47.840
<v Speaker 1>of a widow of nine. Now what happened the day

1605
01:47:47.880 --> 01:47:50.600
<v Speaker 1>after that? He went into a city called Nane, and

1606
01:47:50.680 --> 01:47:53.319
<v Speaker 1>many of his disciples went with him, and a large crowd.

1607
01:47:53.640 --> 01:47:55.319
<v Speaker 1>And when he came near the gate of the city,

1608
01:47:55.359 --> 01:47:58.439
<v Speaker 1>behold a dead man was being carried out, and the

1609
01:47:58.479 --> 01:48:01.840
<v Speaker 1>only son of his mother. And she was a widow,

1610
01:48:02.279 --> 01:48:04.479
<v Speaker 1>and a large crowd from the city was with her.

1611
01:48:05.039 --> 01:48:07.439
<v Speaker 1>When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her

1612
01:48:07.439 --> 01:48:10.279
<v Speaker 1>and said to her, do not weep. Then he came

1613
01:48:10.319 --> 01:48:13.399
<v Speaker 1>and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him

1614
01:48:13.479 --> 01:48:17.159
<v Speaker 1>stood still, and he said, young man, I say to

1615
01:48:17.239 --> 01:48:24.039
<v Speaker 1>you arise, So he was dead. So he who was

1616
01:48:24.119 --> 01:48:27.600
<v Speaker 1>dead sat up and began to speak and presented him

1617
01:48:27.640 --> 01:48:30.760
<v Speaker 1>to his mother. So this is when the where else

1618
01:48:30.800 --> 01:48:33.720
<v Speaker 1>do we see this in the Bible? We see Elijah

1619
01:48:33.760 --> 01:48:37.920
<v Speaker 1>do that with the young boy. Elijah brings someone from

1620
01:48:37.960 --> 01:48:41.600
<v Speaker 1>the dead, like he has somebody bring someone back from

1621
01:48:41.640 --> 01:48:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the dead. Obviously not Elijah, but God does it. But

1622
01:48:46.199 --> 01:48:49.479
<v Speaker 1>you know through Elijah. Right, So now we have Jesus

1623
01:48:49.600 --> 01:48:53.720
<v Speaker 1>doing the same thing. Can you imagine someone being dead

1624
01:48:54.279 --> 01:48:58.399
<v Speaker 1>in a coffin and then Jesus just says, young man,

1625
01:48:58.479 --> 01:49:01.359
<v Speaker 1>I say to you a rise, and you see the

1626
01:49:01.399 --> 01:49:06.920
<v Speaker 1>compassion that Jesus has Right here, Jesus the displaced his

1627
01:49:07.079 --> 01:49:12.039
<v Speaker 1>compassion and power over death by resurrecting a widow's only son,

1628
01:49:12.119 --> 01:49:17.640
<v Speaker 1>causing great awe among the people. You bet they're definitely

1629
01:49:17.640 --> 01:49:23.840
<v Speaker 1>great all among the people. Then fear came upon all,

1630
01:49:24.039 --> 01:49:27.560
<v Speaker 1>and they glorified God, saying, a great prophet has risen

1631
01:49:27.640 --> 01:49:31.760
<v Speaker 1>up among us, and God has visited his people. And

1632
01:49:31.880 --> 01:49:35.840
<v Speaker 1>this report about him went throughout all Judea and all

1633
01:49:35.880 --> 01:49:39.319
<v Speaker 1>the surrounding region. So when that report probably got to

1634
01:49:39.359 --> 01:49:44.279
<v Speaker 1>the Pharisees and Saddisties and scribes, they were probably like, oh, oh,

1635
01:49:45.479 --> 01:49:51.319
<v Speaker 1>this is causing quite a stir Okay, So we have

1636
01:49:52.760 --> 01:49:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Luke seven, verse eighteen. John the Baptist sends a message,

1637
01:50:00.079 --> 01:50:04.720
<v Speaker 1>sends messengers to Jesus. Then the disciples of John reported

1638
01:50:04.760 --> 01:50:07.439
<v Speaker 1>him concerning all these things. In John, calling two of

1639
01:50:07.479 --> 01:50:11.840
<v Speaker 1>his disciples to him, sent them to Jesus saying, are

1640
01:50:11.880 --> 01:50:14.520
<v Speaker 1>you the coming one? Or do we look for another?

1641
01:50:15.000 --> 01:50:18.520
<v Speaker 1>When the men had come to him, they said, John

1642
01:50:18.520 --> 01:50:20.520
<v Speaker 1>the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, are you

1643
01:50:20.640 --> 01:50:24.319
<v Speaker 1>the coming one? Or do we look for another? And

1644
01:50:24.439 --> 01:50:28.279
<v Speaker 1>at that very hour he cured many of the infirmities, afflictions,

1645
01:50:28.279 --> 01:50:32.720
<v Speaker 1>and evil spirits, and many blind. He gave sight. And

1646
01:50:32.840 --> 01:50:36.439
<v Speaker 1>Jesus answered them and said to them, go tell John

1647
01:50:36.840 --> 01:50:40.199
<v Speaker 1>the things you have seen and heard. That the blind see,

1648
01:50:40.720 --> 01:50:44.279
<v Speaker 1>the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf here,

1649
01:50:44.880 --> 01:50:47.520
<v Speaker 1>the dead or rays, the poor have the Gospel preached

1650
01:50:47.560 --> 01:50:52.319
<v Speaker 1>to them. And blessed is he. Blessed is he who

1651
01:50:52.399 --> 01:50:57.239
<v Speaker 1>is not offended because of me. I believe that's going

1652
01:50:57.279 --> 01:51:01.560
<v Speaker 1>to be in Isaiah. So he's telling of that to

1653
01:51:01.760 --> 01:51:06.800
<v Speaker 1>remind him of the prophecy. When the messengers of John

1654
01:51:06.880 --> 01:51:10.239
<v Speaker 1>had departed, he began to speak to the multitudes concerning John.

1655
01:51:11.239 --> 01:51:14.079
<v Speaker 1>What did you go into the wilderness to see a

1656
01:51:14.159 --> 01:51:16.800
<v Speaker 1>reed shaken by the wind? But what did you go

1657
01:51:16.880 --> 01:51:19.960
<v Speaker 1>out to see a man clothed in soft garments? Indeed,

1658
01:51:20.000 --> 01:51:24.680
<v Speaker 1>those who are gorgeously appalled and live in luxury are

1659
01:51:24.680 --> 01:51:27.640
<v Speaker 1>in king's courts. But what did you go out to

1660
01:51:27.680 --> 01:51:32.119
<v Speaker 1>see a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more

1661
01:51:32.159 --> 01:51:35.359
<v Speaker 1>than a prophet, this is he whom he has written, Behold,

1662
01:51:35.439 --> 01:51:38.359
<v Speaker 1>I send my messengers before your face, who will prepare

1663
01:51:38.399 --> 01:51:40.800
<v Speaker 1>your way before you. I believe that's in Isaiah. For

1664
01:51:40.920 --> 01:51:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I say to you, among those born of women, there

1665
01:51:43.680 --> 01:51:46.920
<v Speaker 1>is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist, But

1666
01:51:47.119 --> 01:51:49.439
<v Speaker 1>he who is least in the Kingdom of God is

1667
01:51:49.479 --> 01:52:03.239
<v Speaker 1>greater than he. Let's see that is a So basically

1668
01:52:03.439 --> 01:52:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I think he's saying, like, John the Baptist's greatest on earth,

1669
01:52:07.880 --> 01:52:09.840
<v Speaker 1>but he was least in the Kingdom of God. So

1670
01:52:09.880 --> 01:52:18.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe he's talking about in the heavenly is greater than he. Okay,

1671
01:52:18.319 --> 01:52:22.359
<v Speaker 1>let's see John the Baptist questions from prison. John the

1672
01:52:22.359 --> 01:52:25.319
<v Speaker 1>Baptist says, disciples to ask Jesus, where's that at where's that?

1673
01:52:25.359 --> 01:52:35.479
<v Speaker 1>I want to see? What the And after John's messengers left,

1674
01:52:35.560 --> 01:52:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Jesus spoke to the crowd about John. He asked what

1675
01:52:37.960 --> 01:52:40.159
<v Speaker 1>they went out to see in the wilderness. He reads, way,

1676
01:52:40.520 --> 01:52:42.800
<v Speaker 1>we already read that fine clothes. No, we see a

1677
01:52:42.800 --> 01:52:46.680
<v Speaker 1>prophet more than a prophet went to Okay, a man

1678
01:52:46.760 --> 01:52:49.279
<v Speaker 1>dressified clothes. No, they went to see a prophet and

1679
01:52:49.319 --> 01:52:51.239
<v Speaker 1>more than a prophet. Jesus declared that John was a

1680
01:52:51.279 --> 01:52:56.600
<v Speaker 1>messenger propheesis in Malachi three, one among these who were

1681
01:52:56.600 --> 01:52:58.640
<v Speaker 1>born of women, none is greater than John. Yet the

1682
01:52:58.760 --> 01:53:01.560
<v Speaker 1>least in the kingdom is greater than the people and

1683
01:53:01.600 --> 01:53:04.399
<v Speaker 1>the tax dollersis and knowledge God's justice having to baptize

1684
01:53:04.399 --> 01:53:07.439
<v Speaker 1>by John, but the pharisees and experts and the law

1685
01:53:07.520 --> 01:53:14.600
<v Speaker 1>rejected God's purpose for themselves. Okay, so let's continue. Maybe

1686
01:53:14.600 --> 01:53:17.279
<v Speaker 1>I can have hold on. Let me check something because

1687
01:53:17.520 --> 01:53:19.439
<v Speaker 1>I want to find out what's up with this and

1688
01:53:19.479 --> 01:53:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I want to explain it to you guys. Luke, and

1689
01:53:29.000 --> 01:53:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I didn't really get this far through the study because

1690
01:53:31.800 --> 01:53:36.479
<v Speaker 1>I had I was a pretty dense study between five

1691
01:53:36.520 --> 01:53:39.159
<v Speaker 1>and six, right, So I just want to look this

1692
01:53:39.319 --> 01:53:54.039
<v Speaker 1>up so contact. The statement is part of Jesus's teaching

1693
01:53:54.079 --> 01:53:56.199
<v Speaker 1>about the nature of his kingdom and the role of

1694
01:53:56.279 --> 01:53:58.680
<v Speaker 1>John the Baptist. Jesus has claimed declares that John the

1695
01:53:58.720 --> 01:54:01.239
<v Speaker 1>Baptist is the greatest prophet of among those born of women.

1696
01:54:02.119 --> 01:54:05.159
<v Speaker 1>The significance of John is seen as a pivotal figure,

1697
01:54:05.239 --> 01:54:07.279
<v Speaker 1>a forerunner to Jesus for praying the way for the

1698
01:54:07.319 --> 01:54:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Messiah the Kingdom of God. Jesus contrasts John's greatness with

1699
01:54:11.039 --> 01:54:13.760
<v Speaker 1>the importance of those who belong to the Kingdom of God,

1700
01:54:13.880 --> 01:54:17.840
<v Speaker 1>even the least among them. The verse suggests that John

1701
01:54:17.960 --> 01:54:20.439
<v Speaker 1>was a great prophet those who enter the Kingdom of

1702
01:54:20.479 --> 01:54:26.159
<v Speaker 1>God through faith in Jesus, are greater in statutes and significance. Okay, cool,

1703
01:54:26.880 --> 01:54:34.079
<v Speaker 1>makes sense, All right, let's see. Let's continue Luke seven,

1704
01:54:34.279 --> 01:54:37.119
<v Speaker 1>verse twenty nine. And when all the people heard him,

1705
01:54:37.920 --> 01:54:45.199
<v Speaker 1>well on, let me get back to my notes. And

1706
01:54:45.239 --> 01:54:49.960
<v Speaker 1>when all the people heard him, even the tax collectors

1707
01:54:50.039 --> 01:54:53.159
<v Speaker 1>justified God, having been baptized from the baptism of John.

1708
01:54:53.640 --> 01:54:56.199
<v Speaker 1>But the pharisees and lawyers rejected the will of God

1709
01:54:56.199 --> 01:54:59.760
<v Speaker 1>for themselves, not having been baptized by him. And the

1710
01:55:00.000 --> 01:55:02.520
<v Speaker 1>the Lord said, to what then shall I like in

1711
01:55:02.600 --> 01:55:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the man of this generation? And what are they like?

1712
01:55:07.000 --> 01:55:09.640
<v Speaker 1>They are like children sitting in the marketplace, calling to

1713
01:55:09.680 --> 01:55:12.840
<v Speaker 1>one another, saying, we played the flute to you, and

1714
01:55:12.880 --> 01:55:15.359
<v Speaker 1>you did not dance. We mourned to you, and you

1715
01:55:15.439 --> 01:55:18.680
<v Speaker 1>did not weep. For John the Baptist came neither eating

1716
01:55:20.319 --> 01:55:24.359
<v Speaker 1>bread nor drinking wine. And you say he has a demon.

1717
01:55:24.880 --> 01:55:26.880
<v Speaker 1>The son of Man has come eating and drinking. And

1718
01:55:26.960 --> 01:55:29.760
<v Speaker 1>you say, look, a glutton and a wine bearer, bearber,

1719
01:55:30.520 --> 01:55:33.079
<v Speaker 1>a friend, a tax collector, and sinners. But wisdom is

1720
01:55:33.239 --> 01:55:40.520
<v Speaker 1>justified by all the children, all her children. He has

1721
01:55:40.560 --> 01:55:42.720
<v Speaker 1>a demon. The son of man has come eating and drinking.

1722
01:55:42.840 --> 01:55:45.680
<v Speaker 1>And you say, look a glutton and a winebibber, a

1723
01:55:45.720 --> 01:55:49.119
<v Speaker 1>friendicline of sinners. Yeah, see, they're judging him, you see

1724
01:55:50.039 --> 01:55:54.319
<v Speaker 1>Luke seven, verse thirty six, a sinful woman forgiven Luke seven,

1725
01:55:54.399 --> 01:55:57.479
<v Speaker 1>verse thirty six. The one of the Pharisees asked him

1726
01:55:57.479 --> 01:55:59.920
<v Speaker 1>to eat with him, And he went into the pharisees

1727
01:56:00.079 --> 01:56:02.920
<v Speaker 1>house and sat down to eat, and behold the woman

1728
01:56:02.960 --> 01:56:05.640
<v Speaker 1>in the city who was a sinner when she knew

1729
01:56:05.680 --> 01:56:08.119
<v Speaker 1>that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisees house,

1730
01:56:08.239 --> 01:56:12.560
<v Speaker 1>brought a alabaster flask of fragrant oil. Okay, so this

1731
01:56:12.600 --> 01:56:17.039
<v Speaker 1>is gonna be merry. We've gone over this a few

1732
01:56:17.039 --> 01:56:19.920
<v Speaker 1>different times. I don't need to re hit on this, okay.

1733
01:56:20.000 --> 01:56:22.880
<v Speaker 1>So and they sit at his feet behind him, weeping,

1734
01:56:22.920 --> 01:56:25.119
<v Speaker 1>and she began to wash his feet with tears and

1735
01:56:25.159 --> 01:56:29.399
<v Speaker 1>wipe them. Now, the alabaster flask is expensive, okay, this

1736
01:56:29.520 --> 01:56:35.680
<v Speaker 1>is expensive fragrant oil, all right, like three hundred dinari,

1737
01:56:36.479 --> 01:56:39.720
<v Speaker 1>which is like a lot of I think it's a

1738
01:56:39.760 --> 01:56:41.920
<v Speaker 1>one denari a day, So that'd be like almost a

1739
01:56:42.039 --> 01:56:46.159
<v Speaker 1>year's work, that's how expensive this stuff is. Right, So

1740
01:56:48.760 --> 01:56:51.880
<v Speaker 1>his feet, his tears wiped them, and the hair of

1741
01:56:51.880 --> 01:56:54.279
<v Speaker 1>her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with

1742
01:56:54.319 --> 01:56:57.840
<v Speaker 1>the fragrant oil. Now, when the Pharisees who had invited

1743
01:56:57.880 --> 01:57:01.399
<v Speaker 1>him saw this, he spoke to him self, saying, this man,

1744
01:57:01.479 --> 01:57:05.359
<v Speaker 1>if if he were a prophet, would know who and

1745
01:57:05.479 --> 01:57:07.640
<v Speaker 1>what manner of woman this is who is touching him,

1746
01:57:08.119 --> 01:57:11.279
<v Speaker 1>for she is a sinner. And Jesus answered and said

1747
01:57:11.319 --> 01:57:13.880
<v Speaker 1>to him, Simon, I have something to say to you.

1748
01:57:15.159 --> 01:57:18.920
<v Speaker 1>So he said, teachers, say it. Therefore, a certain creditor

1749
01:57:19.840 --> 01:57:24.039
<v Speaker 1>who had two debtors, one owned five hundred dinari and

1750
01:57:24.119 --> 01:57:27.760
<v Speaker 1>the other fifty, and when they had nothing to which

1751
01:57:28.119 --> 01:57:32.119
<v Speaker 1>to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell me, therefore,

1752
01:57:32.439 --> 01:57:35.680
<v Speaker 1>which of them will love him more? Simon answered and said,

1753
01:57:35.680 --> 01:57:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I suppose to one whom he forgave more. And he

1754
01:57:41.079 --> 01:57:44.399
<v Speaker 1>said to him, you have rightly judged. And then he

1755
01:57:44.439 --> 01:57:46.760
<v Speaker 1>turned to the woman and said, Simon, do you see

1756
01:57:46.760 --> 01:57:49.520
<v Speaker 1>this woman I entered your house. You gave me no

1757
01:57:49.680 --> 01:57:54.840
<v Speaker 1>water for my feet, but she has washed my feet

1758
01:57:54.880 --> 01:57:59.159
<v Speaker 1>with their tears and wiped them with the hair of

1759
01:57:59.199 --> 01:58:02.319
<v Speaker 1>her head. You gave me no kiss, but this woman

1760
01:58:02.960 --> 01:58:05.439
<v Speaker 1>had not seized to kiss my feet since the time

1761
01:58:05.479 --> 01:58:08.159
<v Speaker 1>I came in. You did not annoy my head with oil.

1762
01:58:08.279 --> 01:58:10.760
<v Speaker 1>But this woman who annoyed in my feet with fragrant oil.

1763
01:58:11.199 --> 01:58:14.199
<v Speaker 1>Therefore I say to you her sins, which were many,

1764
01:58:14.319 --> 01:58:18.319
<v Speaker 1>are forgiven. And she loved much, to whom little is forgiven.

1765
01:58:18.399 --> 01:58:23.520
<v Speaker 1>The same loves little. So it's something that was like

1766
01:58:23.600 --> 01:58:29.680
<v Speaker 1>a let's see what it says a Pharisees house. A

1767
01:58:29.760 --> 01:58:32.119
<v Speaker 1>simple woman annoys Jesus' feet with their tears and perfume.

1768
01:58:32.199 --> 01:58:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Jesus uses this act to teach about forgiveness, affirming that

1769
01:58:35.800 --> 01:58:38.039
<v Speaker 1>her sins have been forgiven due to her great love,

1770
01:58:38.399 --> 01:58:44.399
<v Speaker 1>revealing that those who forgiven much love much. Yes, then

1771
01:58:44.439 --> 01:58:47.680
<v Speaker 1>he said, your sins are forgiven, and this is Luke

1772
01:58:48.000 --> 01:58:50.920
<v Speaker 1>seven nine. And those who sat at the table with

1773
01:58:51.000 --> 01:58:53.479
<v Speaker 1>him began to say to himself, who is this who

1774
01:58:53.520 --> 01:58:56.560
<v Speaker 1>even forgives sins? And he said to the woman, your

1775
01:58:56.600 --> 01:59:00.920
<v Speaker 1>faith has saved you. Go in peace. Wow, that's the

1776
01:59:01.000 --> 01:59:06.000
<v Speaker 1>very you see. He's forgiving sins. That's he's claiming to

1777
01:59:06.039 --> 01:59:10.359
<v Speaker 1>be God. Okay, that's why they say this at the table,

1778
01:59:10.960 --> 01:59:14.000
<v Speaker 1>who is this who even forgive sins? And he said,

1779
01:59:14.000 --> 01:59:17.000
<v Speaker 1>your faith has saved You were saved by grace through faith, right,

1780
01:59:17.079 --> 01:59:21.920
<v Speaker 1>so go in peace. So he just just wanted to

1781
01:59:21.920 --> 01:59:26.319
<v Speaker 1>wrap that up. You know, that was perfect amount of time.

1782
01:59:26.800 --> 01:59:31.760
<v Speaker 1>So let me just stop the screen share teaching points

1783
01:59:33.279 --> 01:59:38.920
<v Speaker 1>for that Centurnion's faith. When Jesus heard this, he marveled

1784
01:59:38.920 --> 01:59:40.880
<v Speaker 1>at him. Turning to the crowd following him, he said,

1785
01:59:40.880 --> 01:59:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I tell you, not even Israel I have I've found

1786
01:59:42.600 --> 01:59:45.359
<v Speaker 1>great faith. The centurion's understanding of authority and his humble

1787
01:59:45.359 --> 01:59:49.880
<v Speaker 1>approach to Jesus exemplify a faith that recognizes christ divine power.

1788
01:59:50.399 --> 01:59:54.279
<v Speaker 1>Compassionate Jesus, We've talked about that forgiveness and love. Therefore,

1789
01:59:54.279 --> 01:59:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I tell you, because her many sins have been forgiven,

1790
01:59:57.199 --> 02:00:01.159
<v Speaker 1>she has loved much, but she has forgiven little. But

1791
02:00:01.319 --> 02:00:05.319
<v Speaker 1>he who has been forgiven little loves little. The story

1792
02:00:05.319 --> 02:00:08.920
<v Speaker 1>of the Sinful Woman highlights the transformative power of forgiveness

1793
02:00:09.239 --> 02:00:15.760
<v Speaker 1>and the profound love of endegers the authority of Jesus's word.

1794
02:00:16.039 --> 02:00:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Throughout the chapter of Jesus's Word brings healing and life,

1795
02:00:19.119 --> 02:00:23.319
<v Speaker 1>underscoring his divine authority and the power of his spoken word.

1796
02:00:23.960 --> 02:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>So we're gonna end there. What an amazing study. We

1797
02:00:28.159 --> 02:00:31.720
<v Speaker 1>went through just three chapters there. It was pretty dense.

1798
02:00:31.760 --> 02:00:35.359
<v Speaker 1>I had a good amount of time to study Luke five, six,

1799
02:00:35.520 --> 02:00:39.760
<v Speaker 1>and then a little bit of seven. Right, So thank
