143: Jesse Brown – Exhortation: Let Brotherly Love Continue

1
00:00:13,900 –> 00:00:15,600
Welcome to Good Burger selfie
and talks.

2
00:00:15,600 –> 00:00:19,300
I’m Levi and I’m Chris and I’m
Brian, thank you for joining us

3
00:00:19,300 –> 00:00:21,900
this week.
On this podcast, we select one

4
00:00:21,900 –> 00:00:26,400
taco week to help us get the
Bible in our daily news feed.

5
00:00:26,500 –> 00:00:29,300
We post a new episode of the
start of each week with a short

6
00:00:29,300 –> 00:00:31,400
intro before.
Hand to kind of set the stage

7
00:00:31,400 –> 00:00:33,600
for the talk.
You’re about to listen to and

8
00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:36,300
now let’s talk more about this
week’s talk.

9
00:00:51,100 –> 00:00:53,500
Welcome to the good Chris at
Alfea and talks podcast.

10
00:00:54,000 –> 00:00:57,100
This is brother Brian.
This week’s talk is an

11
00:00:57,100 –> 00:01:01,000
excitation that’s given by
brother Jesse Brown at the

12
00:01:01,000 –> 00:01:05,400
Christchurch North meeting in
New Zealand on October third

13
00:01:05,400 –> 00:01:10,700
last year, 2020.
His focus is on the familiar but

14
00:01:10,700 –> 00:01:14,800
perhaps overlooked aspect of our
discipleship which is the need

15
00:01:14,800 –> 00:01:19,800
for consistently practicing and
embracing Brotherly.

16
00:01:19,800 –> 00:01:25,000
Love amongst one another And he
makes a point to highlight the

17
00:01:25,000 –> 00:01:28,900
need to build first on our
foundation of Philadelphia love.

18
00:01:30,000 –> 00:01:33,900
Before trying to tackle the
lofty goal of Agra pay or

19
00:01:34,000 –> 00:01:39,700
self-sacrificing.
Love One of my favorite points

20
00:01:39,800 –> 00:01:43,500
that brother Jesse makes is how
we are to show our desire to be

21
00:01:43,500 –> 00:01:47,500
part of God’s family and live up
to the name of Chris Adelphia,

22
00:01:47,800 –> 00:01:52,800
which is literally Christ
Brethren by first building and

23
00:01:52,800 –> 00:01:58,000
demonstrating that love and care
for our Ecclesia, which may come

24
00:01:58,000 –> 00:02:01,100
easy for some.
But it may be harder to prove

25
00:02:01,400 –> 00:02:04,000
for others.
When perhaps we are not

26
00:02:04,000 –> 00:02:06,800
naturally close with are on the
same page with other members of

27
00:02:06,800 –> 00:02:12,100
our Ecclesia.
Do we truly show Hospitality to

28
00:02:12,100 –> 00:02:15,600
all or just the ones that were
comfortable with?

29
00:02:17,300 –> 00:02:22,800
Do we honor all of our members?
Or do we still bear grudges or

30
00:02:22,800 –> 00:02:24,500
hard feelings?
About something that was said

31
00:02:24,500 –> 00:02:30,700
years ago.
Are we the first ones to call

32
00:02:30,700 –> 00:02:33,800
and find out how a brother or
sisters doing if they’re not

33
00:02:33,800 –> 00:02:39,300
there on a Sunday morning?
This message was a great reality

34
00:02:39,300 –> 00:02:44,400
check for me here as locally.
And the Philadelphia area, we

35
00:02:44,400 –> 00:02:47,700
are finally allowed to be back
in full attendance, after 14

36
00:02:47,700 –> 00:02:52,300
months of covid restrictions and
yet, there is an accepted

37
00:02:52,300 –> 00:02:56,900
feeling that there may be some
that just don’t come back or

38
00:02:56,900 –> 00:02:58,900
that we won’t see in person
again.

39
00:03:00,400 –> 00:03:04,700
And in light of the parable of
the lost sheep, we can be

40
00:03:04,700 –> 00:03:08,500
reminded that we are not to be
satisfied with a partial return,

41
00:03:08,500 –> 00:03:14,100
or even 99% attendance.
But as our heavenly father

42
00:03:14,600 –> 00:03:20,400
zealously cares for us, we are
to continue to mine and explore

43
00:03:20,500 –> 00:03:25,300
the depths of Philadelphia love
and seek the Lost.

44
00:03:26,600 –> 00:03:30,700
Until we’ve restored or Brethren
until the last one comes home.

45
00:03:33,100 –> 00:03:36,300
I mean, we know these things and
we know how to do them.

46
00:03:37,800 –> 00:03:41,600
So, are we?
We hope this strengthens your

47
00:03:41,600 –> 00:03:45,000
faith and brightens your day
brother.

48
00:03:45,000 –> 00:03:48,500
Jesse Brown, let Brotherly Love
continue.

49
00:03:51,400 –> 00:03:56,000
If you’re stopped attending
mating tomorrow, how long would

50
00:03:56,000 –> 00:04:01,300
it take for people to notice?
I’m not saying to try this, just

51
00:04:01,300 –> 00:04:05,800
think about it.
Who in the Ecclesia with gnosis?

52
00:04:05,800 –> 00:04:10,400
That’s, you’re not around.
Who would miss you?

53
00:04:11,600 –> 00:04:15,900
Who would be the first person to
contact you to ask you how you

54
00:04:15,900 –> 00:04:18,500
are.
Or who do you know?

55
00:04:18,500 –> 00:04:23,700
Well enough to know whether
they’re sick, traveling visiting

56
00:04:23,700 –> 00:04:26,500
another Ecclesia or just not
coming.

57
00:04:28,400 –> 00:04:31,500
Who would you feel comfortable
contacting?

58
00:04:33,300 –> 00:04:38,000
If something terrible happens in
your life, who knows you?

59
00:04:38,200 –> 00:04:43,400
Well, enough to provide Comfort.
Who would you trust to see you

60
00:04:43,400 –> 00:04:46,900
without your Sunday, best
clothes, and your end best

61
00:04:46,900 –> 00:04:53,700
attitude. who would walk beside
you if you walk through the

62
00:04:53,700 –> 00:04:59,200
shadow of the Valley of the
shadow of death, who do you know

63
00:04:59,200 –> 00:05:07,400
well enough to provide help and
comfort for be ye one another’s

64
00:05:07,400 –> 00:05:12,100
burdens and so fulfill the law
of Christ.

65
00:05:12,500 –> 00:05:18,300
It’s Galatians 6 verse 2, we
call ourselves christadelphians

66
00:05:19,300 –> 00:05:24,000
Christ brethren in our name is
the idea that we have been

67
00:05:24,000 –> 00:05:29,900
baptized into the family of God.
We’ve been called to be part of

68
00:05:29,900 –> 00:05:34,400
the family of Yahweh.
Our Father who is in heaven and

69
00:05:34,400 –> 00:05:38,700
of the Lord Jesus Christ and
most exalted brother.

70
00:05:39,100 –> 00:05:44,200
The first fruits of the
Resurrection When the Lord Jesus

71
00:05:44,200 –> 00:05:49,100
Christ, returns by God’s grace,
we will all be part of the

72
00:05:49,100 –> 00:05:52,800
perfect.
Family of God, manifesting his

73
00:05:52,800 –> 00:05:54,900
name with unnumbered Saints of
old.

74
00:05:56,400 –> 00:06:04,200
However, before Christ kingdoms
comes, We’ve been put into an

75
00:06:04,200 –> 00:06:09,100
imperfect ecclesial family with
brothers and sisters who just

76
00:06:09,100 –> 00:06:15,400
happened to live in the same
area and time as us and God

77
00:06:15,400 –> 00:06:21,400
tells us to love them.
Please your family today is they

78
00:06:21,400 –> 00:06:26,800
are training Grant and I love
for them is an indication of our

79
00:06:26,800 –> 00:06:31,000
love for God.
The Apostle John tells us this

80
00:06:31,000 –> 00:06:33,300
in first John four, please turn
with me there.

81
00:06:47,300 –> 00:06:51,300
First John chapter 4 reading
verse 11 to 12 and then 22:21

82
00:06:53,300 –> 00:06:55,200
beloved.
If God.

83
00:06:55,200 –> 00:06:58,400
So loved us, we also ought to
love one.

84
00:06:58,400 –> 00:07:02,000
Another no man has seen God at
any time.

85
00:07:02,500 –> 00:07:06,000
If we love one another God
dwelleth in us and his love is

86
00:07:06,000 –> 00:07:08,200
perfect.
Perfect it in US.

87
00:07:09,500 –> 00:07:14,300
If a man say I love God and
hateth his brother, he is a liar

88
00:07:14,500 –> 00:07:17,200
for he that loveth, not his
brother, whom he has seen.

89
00:07:17,600 –> 00:07:20,600
How can he love God?
Whom he has not seen.

90
00:07:21,300 –> 00:07:23,300
And this commandment have we
from him?

91
00:07:23,600 –> 00:07:26,100
That he who?
Loveth God, love his brother.

92
00:07:26,100 –> 00:07:33,300
Also, If we love one another
God, dwells in us, if we love

93
00:07:33,300 –> 00:07:39,100
one, another God’s love is
perfected in US. if we don’t

94
00:07:39,100 –> 00:07:44,600
love each other and stay that we
serve God, we’re allies It’s

95
00:07:44,600 –> 00:07:48,700
pretty black and white so ask
again.

96
00:07:49,800 –> 00:07:57,700
How do we treat our brethren?
Peter and his first epistle

97
00:07:58,000 –> 00:08:03,000
commands Us in chapter 3.
And verse 8, finally be, ye all

98
00:08:03,000 –> 00:08:06,100
of One mind.
Having compassion, one of

99
00:08:06,100 –> 00:08:11,600
another love as Brethren be
pitiful, be courteous.

100
00:08:13,200 –> 00:08:17,300
Love as Brethren.
The word is philadelphus.

101
00:08:19,000 –> 00:08:22,000
We talked a lot about having
self-sacrificing.

102
00:08:22,100 –> 00:08:26,000
Agape, love for one another and
we should.

103
00:08:26,800 –> 00:08:31,900
But how much do we talk about
having Brotherly, Love or

104
00:08:32,100 –> 00:08:34,100
Philadelphia?
Love for each other.

105
00:08:35,700 –> 00:08:39,200
Agape love and Brotherly.
Love aren’t mutually exclusive.

106
00:08:39,500 –> 00:08:44,200
We can’t just say, I have a Gap,
a for brother X or sister, why?

107
00:08:44,700 –> 00:08:46,900
So, I don’t need to have
brotherly, love for thee.

108
00:08:48,100 –> 00:08:51,700
Not that we would say it in that
way at all, even to ourselves.

109
00:08:53,000 –> 00:08:58,500
But do we accept way?
Peter seems to put brotherly

110
00:08:58,500 –> 00:09:00,400
love as if he and ation forever.
Pay.

111
00:09:00,400 –> 00:09:14,100
If we read First Peter 1 and
verse 22 to 23, Seeing ye have

112
00:09:14,100 –> 00:09:18,500
purified your souls in obeying
the truth through the spirit

113
00:09:18,500 –> 00:09:21,900
unto unfeigned, love of the
Brethren Philadelphia.

114
00:09:22,500 –> 00:09:27,000
See that she’ll of a gap, a one
another, with a pure heart,

115
00:09:27,000 –> 00:09:31,600
fervently being born again not
of corruptible seed but of

116
00:09:31,600 –> 00:09:36,300
Incorruptible by the word of God
which liveth and abideth

117
00:09:36,300 –> 00:09:42,600
forever. since the Believers
were walking in the spirit with

118
00:09:42,600 –> 00:09:47,900
brotherly, love for one another
He said called them to add a

119
00:09:47,900 –> 00:09:49,500
Gap.
A to the Philadelphia, they were

120
00:09:49,500 –> 00:09:53,800
already showing for each other.
He repeats us that idea again in

121
00:09:53,800 –> 00:09:58,700
a Second Epistle and second
Peter 1 verse 5 to 8.

122
00:10:00,400 –> 00:10:04,800
And besides this, giving all
diligence add to your faith

123
00:10:04,800 –> 00:10:09,300
virtue, and to Virtue knowledge,
and to knowledge Temperance, and

124
00:10:09,300 –> 00:10:13,600
to Temperance, patience, and to
patience godliness, and to

125
00:10:13,600 –> 00:10:17,300
Godliness, Philadelphia and
Philadelphia agape.

126
00:10:18,600 –> 00:10:24,500
For if these things be in you
and abound they make you that ye

127
00:10:24,500 –> 00:10:28,200
shall neither be Barren nor
unfruitful in the knowledge of

128
00:10:28,200 –> 00:10:36,500
our Lord Jesus Christ adding to
the faith virtue knowledge,

129
00:10:36,500 –> 00:10:40,100
self-control patience and
godliness.

130
00:10:41,000 –> 00:10:43,800
The Believers were supposed to
have brotherly, love for each

131
00:10:43,800 –> 00:10:47,200
other and add to all of that
Agape.

132
00:10:47,500 –> 00:10:53,000
This Of sacrificing love of each
other Philadelphia.

133
00:10:53,000 –> 00:10:55,200
Here’s a foundation for Egger
pay.

134
00:10:55,900 –> 00:10:58,500
Paul makes an even closer
Connection in first

135
00:10:58,500 –> 00:11:05,800
Thessalonians chapter 4 and
verse 9. but as touching

136
00:11:05,800 –> 00:11:11,100
Philadelphia brotherly love, you
know that in you need, not that

137
00:11:11,100 –> 00:11:16,200
I write unto you for you
yourselves are taught of God to

138
00:11:16,200 –> 00:11:23,800
a Gap, a one another Who says he
doesn’t need to write to them

139
00:11:23,800 –> 00:11:27,200
about Philadelphia because they
are taught to a Gap.

140
00:11:27,200 –> 00:11:32,300
A each other and this verse pull
intertwines, these two types of

141
00:11:32,300 –> 00:11:38,600
love making them Inseparable.
So we can’t say that this type

142
00:11:38,600 –> 00:11:43,800
of Love isn’t important.
But what do the scriptures have

143
00:11:43,800 –> 00:11:48,500
to say about Brotherly Love?
We’ve already looked at three of

144
00:11:48,500 –> 00:11:52,400
the five verses where the word
Philadelphia occurs and the only

145
00:11:52,400 –> 00:11:56,000
place where the related word
philadelphus happens.

146
00:11:56,900 –> 00:12:00,500
The last two verses give us some
details about what it looks like

147
00:12:00,600 –> 00:12:05,000
and the life of a believer.
The fourth place, where that

148
00:12:05,000 –> 00:12:09,900
word Brotherly Love pops up is
Hebrews chapter 13 in this one.

149
00:12:12,100 –> 00:12:16,700
Let the Brotherly.
Love continue the next two.

150
00:12:16,700 –> 00:12:20,600
Verses give us a couple of
practical ways to show this.

151
00:12:20,600 –> 00:12:22,800
Brotherly love.
Please turn with me to Hebrews

152
00:12:22,800 –> 00:12:36,000
chapter 13 and will read verse 2
and 3 We’re not sick it for to

153
00:12:36,000 –> 00:12:39,800
entertain strangers.
For thereby some have

154
00:12:39,800 –> 00:12:45,000
entertained angels, unawares.
Remember them that are in bonds

155
00:12:45,200 –> 00:12:50,400
as bound with them and then
which suffer adversity as being

156
00:12:50,400 –> 00:12:55,000
yourselves.
Also in the body, There have

157
00:12:55,000 –> 00:12:59,400
been a few people that are
feed-in, hosted Angels without

158
00:12:59,400 –> 00:13:02,900
realizing it.
The one we may think of first is

159
00:13:02,900 –> 00:13:08,400
Abraham and Sarah in Genesis 18.
But our minds also go to lot and

160
00:13:08,400 –> 00:13:12,500
Genesis, 19 and manoah, and his
wife, and Judges 13.

161
00:13:13,400 –> 00:13:16,600
These Brethren gave their best
to strangers.

162
00:13:17,300 –> 00:13:20,500
Not realizing they were hosting
messengers of the Living.

163
00:13:20,500 –> 00:13:26,400
God, Think of these examples and
the context of this one.

164
00:13:28,700 –> 00:13:32,600
Brotherly Love is associated
with hospitality.

165
00:13:34,300 –> 00:13:37,400
How much do we have?
Our brothers and sisters in our

166
00:13:37,400 –> 00:13:41,000
homes.
What about the ones in the

167
00:13:41,000 –> 00:13:43,200
Ecclesia?
That we are least comfortable,

168
00:13:43,200 –> 00:13:49,500
with and not naturally attracted
to do we host all without

169
00:13:49,500 –> 00:13:53,500
partiality giving our best to
everybody.

170
00:13:56,200 –> 00:13:59,700
At this point I feel the need to
point out that this exhortation

171
00:14:00,300 –> 00:14:03,500
is just as much for me as
everyone else.

172
00:14:04,000 –> 00:14:06,300
We are all caught up in our own
business.

173
00:14:06,700 –> 00:14:10,500
We are all naturally selfish and
self-interested.

174
00:14:11,500 –> 00:14:15,800
But in this life, we can’t have
the Lord Jesus Christ into our

175
00:14:15,800 –> 00:14:20,100
homes for Fellowship.
So, how are we treating the

176
00:14:20,108 –> 00:14:28,400
people for whom the Lord died?
Hebrews brings up another facet

177
00:14:28,600 –> 00:14:33,600
of Brotherly Love and verse 3,
caring for those who are

178
00:14:33,600 –> 00:14:38,000
imprisoned in suffering.
Pulls language here.

179
00:14:38,000 –> 00:14:42,000
Strong.
Remember them as if they were

180
00:14:42,000 –> 00:14:45,800
yourself.
Remember them as though they

181
00:14:45,800 –> 00:14:51,600
were part of your whole body.
It doesn’t matter which part of

182
00:14:51,600 –> 00:14:54,800
the body is injured, the whole
body adjusts for it.

183
00:14:55,500 –> 00:15:00,500
If you stub, your little toe,
your leg will limp, your eyes

184
00:15:00,500 –> 00:15:03,500
will look a little more
carefully for other obstacles.

185
00:15:04,200 –> 00:15:08,800
Your mouth will make noises and
even your hands May rub or

186
00:15:08,800 –> 00:15:13,900
squeeze the toe to make it feel
better. beneath the surface, the

187
00:15:13,900 –> 00:15:20,700
whole body mobilizes to help
heal the toe It should be the

188
00:15:20,700 –> 00:15:28,600
same and the family of Christ.
But in order for us to even

189
00:15:28,600 –> 00:15:33,300
begin to support each other, as
a family of God, we have to know

190
00:15:33,300 –> 00:15:36,900
each other.
So, how are we doing?

191
00:15:39,700 –> 00:15:43,200
Romans 12 are reading for the
tech today is the final place

192
00:15:43,200 –> 00:15:47,200
with a word Philadelphia accuse
and gives even a bit more of an

193
00:15:47,200 –> 00:15:50,800
idea about what brotherly love
should look like.

194
00:15:51,000 –> 00:15:53,200
They still with me over to
Romans chapter 12.

195
00:16:01,200 –> 00:16:10,800
Romans 12 reading verse 13 to 6
to 16 be kindly affectionate one

196
00:16:10,800 –> 00:16:15,100
to another with brotherly love.
It’s a weird Philadelphia game

197
00:16:15,600 –> 00:16:18,400
and honour.
Preferring one another, not

198
00:16:18,400 –> 00:16:23,300
slothful in business, fervent,
in spirit serving the lord

199
00:16:23,500 –> 00:16:29,000
rejoicing in Hope patient in
Tribulation, Tin Ewing instant

200
00:16:29,000 –> 00:16:33,500
in prayer, Distributing to the
necessity of saints, given to

201
00:16:33,500 –> 00:16:37,300
hospitality.
Bless them which persecute you

202
00:16:37,700 –> 00:16:42,300
bless and curse, not rejoice
with them that do rejoice and

203
00:16:42,300 –> 00:16:45,700
weep with them that weep be of
the same mind.

204
00:16:45,700 –> 00:16:50,600
One toward another Mi, not high
things, but condescend to Men of

205
00:16:50,600 –> 00:16:57,900
low estate be not wise in your
own conceits Look at what

206
00:16:57,900 –> 00:17:01,400
Brotherly Love does honors each
other.

207
00:17:01,900 –> 00:17:07,700
Prefers, one another gives to
those who have need hosts each

208
00:17:07,700 –> 00:17:12,500
other, blesses each other
rejoices with in who are happy

209
00:17:13,500 –> 00:17:20,099
empathizes with those who are
said, We know these things and

210
00:17:20,099 –> 00:17:21,800
we know that we should do these
things.

211
00:17:23,000 –> 00:17:28,200
But slow down and think about
how we’re acting is a family of

212
00:17:28,200 –> 00:17:33,000
believers.
Are we of this mind to all our

213
00:17:33,000 –> 00:17:36,700
Brethren?
Do we treat all our Brethren

214
00:17:36,700 –> 00:17:43,800
With Honor?
and even if we are doing all

215
00:17:43,800 –> 00:17:47,600
this, What sort of attitude do
we have?

216
00:17:47,900 –> 00:17:52,700
When we do it?
For example, lures my sister.

217
00:17:53,200 –> 00:17:56,100
And when I think about it, I
would be willing to do anything

218
00:17:56,200 –> 00:17:58,900
to help her.
There’s nothing that would be an

219
00:17:58,900 –> 00:18:04,200
inconvenience although I might
choke and complain about it, but

220
00:18:04,200 –> 00:18:08,400
when someone else asked me to do
something, it becomes

221
00:18:08,400 –> 00:18:12,400
inconvenient.
If my sister was broken down on

222
00:18:12,400 –> 00:18:17,500
the other side of town and calls
me, I’m going to go and help

223
00:18:17,500 –> 00:18:20,400
her.
But if I’m really honest with

224
00:18:20,400 –> 00:18:24,700
myself, if someone else was
broken down on the other side of

225
00:18:24,700 –> 00:18:28,400
town and called me, I’d probably
hesitate.

226
00:18:29,000 –> 00:18:32,000
I might ask them if there was
someone else closer that they

227
00:18:32,000 –> 00:18:35,900
could call.
I might still go but grudgingly

228
00:18:36,500 –> 00:18:42,400
what sort of added attitude have
I shown am I serving my brothers

229
00:18:42,400 –> 00:18:45,500
and sisters as though I’m
serving Christ himself.

230
00:18:48,400 –> 00:18:53,600
The Second Great commandment
given by our Lord is love your

231
00:18:53,600 –> 00:19:00,500
neighbor as yourself.
If we supposed to do good to all

232
00:19:00,500 –> 00:19:06,000
men and treat every person, as
our neighbor, how much higher a

233
00:19:06,008 –> 00:19:10,600
standard should we have and our
interactions with each other?

234
00:19:12,500 –> 00:19:18,400
Romans 12, verse 9 brings at one
more facet of Brotherly Love in

235
00:19:18,400 –> 00:19:22,900
a spirit of our interactions
that keeps us from being just a

236
00:19:22,900 –> 00:19:27,600
touchy-feely exultation.
It’s a little bit more clearer

237
00:19:27,600 –> 00:19:34,000
in the new King James.
Let love be without hypocrisy.

238
00:19:35,200 –> 00:19:39,500
Abhor.
What is evil cling to what is

239
00:19:39,500 –> 00:19:44,400
good?
We are called to love one

240
00:19:44,400 –> 00:19:48,700
another, not just showing loving
actions with a hypocritical

241
00:19:48,700 –> 00:19:53,400
dislike of each other.
This is the point of the first

242
00:19:53,400 –> 00:19:57,500
part of the verse.
But the second is what brings

243
00:19:57,500 –> 00:19:59,500
up.
Another aspect of loving our

244
00:19:59,500 –> 00:20:05,600
Brethren as though, they were a
family honoring others in our

245
00:20:05,600 –> 00:20:09,700
closure does not mean agreeing
with everything they do.

246
00:20:10,300 –> 00:20:15,000
We’re going to disagree, we
going to sin and stumble and

247
00:20:15,000 –> 00:20:17,700
we’re all going to fall short of
God’s glory.

248
00:20:19,000 –> 00:20:23,600
Rejoicing with those who rejoice
and weeping with those who weep.

249
00:20:24,700 –> 00:20:28,700
Can’t mean to just emphasize and
empathize and agree with a

250
00:20:28,700 –> 00:20:33,300
brother or sister sin.
Galatians 6, gives some more

251
00:20:33,300 –> 00:20:37,100
clarity about what we should do
if we read verse 1 and 2,

252
00:20:38,700 –> 00:20:42,200
Brethren.
If a man be overtaken in a fault

253
00:20:42,600 –> 00:20:46,600
ye which are spiritual restore,
such a one in the spirit of

254
00:20:46,600 –> 00:20:52,300
meekness considering thyself
lest thou also be tempted bear.

255
00:20:52,300 –> 00:20:58,100
Ye one another’s burdens and so
fulfill the law of Christ.

256
00:21:00,500 –> 00:21:06,800
Hiking the evil as Romans 12
verse 9 tells us to do doesn’t

257
00:21:06,800 –> 00:21:11,200
mean writing off a brothers and
sisters when they sinned.

258
00:21:11,900 –> 00:21:16,500
It means we support one another
trying to help each other toward

259
00:21:16,500 –> 00:21:19,700
the kingdom.
We approach each other and

260
00:21:19,700 –> 00:21:23,500
humility, building on the
foundation of the Philadelphia

261
00:21:23,500 –> 00:21:25,600
love.
We already should have for each

262
00:21:25,600 –> 00:21:30,500
other.
We know that all of us are doing

263
00:21:30,500 –> 00:21:35,100
things that we don’t want to do
and don’t do the things that we

264
00:21:35,100 –> 00:21:40,800
should be doing.
Why are we so quick to condemn

265
00:21:40,800 –> 00:21:45,900
others with our words?
What’s so much easier to talk

266
00:21:45,900 –> 00:21:49,800
about others faults?
Then our own and easier to talk

267
00:21:49,800 –> 00:21:56,200
about others than to them.
It’s easy to allow PT things to

268
00:21:56,200 –> 00:22:00,800
change our relationships with
each other or just stand far off

269
00:22:01,400 –> 00:22:06,600
and pass judgment on each
other’s motives. but we are

270
00:22:06,600 –> 00:22:11,600
called to comfort each other
when needed with humility and

271
00:22:11,600 –> 00:22:17,100
with discretion and always with
the goal of seeing your brother

272
00:22:17,200 –> 00:22:25,200
or sister accepted by Christ,
when he comes Which brings me

273
00:22:25,200 –> 00:22:27,800
back to the questions.
I asked the start.

274
00:22:29,700 –> 00:22:32,100
If you weren’t doing well,
spiritually.

275
00:22:33,600 –> 00:22:37,600
Who would know who would be
willing to show?

276
00:22:37,600 –> 00:22:45,300
Brotherly love and contact you.
Who would you be willing to

277
00:22:45,300 –> 00:22:50,600
cough and able to contact?
What about if you’re physically

278
00:22:50,600 –> 00:22:55,900
suffering?
Is it body of Believers

279
00:22:56,500 –> 00:22:58,900
Brotherly?
Love is something we’re not good

280
00:22:58,900 –> 00:23:01,600
at.
Some of us are better than

281
00:23:01,600 –> 00:23:06,000
others and we’ve been created
with some people then with other

282
00:23:06,000 –> 00:23:09,300
people.
But as a whole, we’re pretty

283
00:23:09,300 –> 00:23:10,800
poor.
We make excuses.

284
00:23:11,600 –> 00:23:14,000
We’re too busy.
They’re too busy.

285
00:23:14,300 –> 00:23:16,700
We’re really stressed.
Right now, we’re too young.

286
00:23:16,700 –> 00:23:20,700
They’re too old.
We don’t get well along well

287
00:23:20,700 –> 00:23:23,100
with them because of something
they said last year.

288
00:23:23,200 –> 00:23:28,600
That we never forgot it’s harder
in this Society to make good

289
00:23:28,600 –> 00:23:32,800
relationships, the list can go
on and on.

290
00:23:34,100 –> 00:23:37,900
But when we think about it, the
heart of the matter is simple,

291
00:23:38,900 –> 00:23:42,700
we’re selfish creatures without
God’s influence.

292
00:23:42,800 –> 00:23:45,600
We’re just going to do the
things that make us feel good in

293
00:23:45,600 –> 00:23:48,800
some way.
We’re so caught up in our own

294
00:23:48,800 –> 00:23:52,000
worlds.
Our own stories, in our own

295
00:23:52,000 –> 00:23:56,000
desires that we don’t have the
time or the energy to think

296
00:23:56,000 –> 00:23:59,100
about our brethren.
Even worse.

297
00:23:59,100 –> 00:24:03,000
We deceived and don’t want to
think about how selfish and

298
00:24:03,000 –> 00:24:07,500
wicked.
We are I think that’s a bit

299
00:24:07,500 –> 00:24:09,600
strong.
It’s no stronger than what

300
00:24:09,600 –> 00:24:13,500
Jeremiah 17.
Verse 9 says, the heart is

301
00:24:13,500 –> 00:24:17,800
deceitful above all things and
desperately wicked.

302
00:24:19,100 –> 00:24:24,600
Who can know it?
There’s nothing new in this

303
00:24:24,600 –> 00:24:29,500
exhortation to love one.
Another But how are you actually

304
00:24:29,500 –> 00:24:32,500
doing?
I know that I’m not doing very

305
00:24:32,500 –> 00:24:37,900
well, the way we act with each
other, the love that we show is

306
00:24:37,900 –> 00:24:41,200
that the way that the world
knows that we are Christ’s

307
00:24:41,200 –> 00:24:46,300
disciples, it’s how we practice
being part of the family of God.

308
00:24:48,100 –> 00:24:52,300
Yahweh has set us up and
Ecclesia is deliberately with

309
00:24:52,300 –> 00:24:56,300
people that we don’t agree with
because they don’t think like us

310
00:24:57,500 –> 00:25:01,400
the body of Christ is supposed
to have many different body

311
00:25:01,400 –> 00:25:04,800
parts.
There are many different jobs in

312
00:25:04,800 –> 00:25:08,600
the kingdom and there will need
to be somebody to fill them.

313
00:25:08,600 –> 00:25:12,600
All from healing the nation’s to
destroying the kingdoms of men

314
00:25:12,600 –> 00:25:16,700
once and for all We all need to
keep the kingdom and view.

315
00:25:18,900 –> 00:25:22,400
We’re not going to be perfect,
it doesn’t matter how hard we

316
00:25:22,400 –> 00:25:25,700
try.
We will all fall short of the

317
00:25:25,700 –> 00:25:29,400
glory of God, and even though
we’re pretty poor, it showing

318
00:25:29,400 –> 00:25:33,500
brotherly love to each other.
We are called to try again.

319
00:25:33,700 –> 00:25:37,800
And again, we’re called to grow
like the disciple of the Lord

320
00:25:37,800 –> 00:25:42,000
did looking at the nights that
the Lord was betrayed.

321
00:25:42,400 –> 00:25:47,100
We see two contrasting examples,
the imperfect example of the

322
00:25:47,100 –> 00:25:51,900
disciples, And the perfect
example of Our Lord placed here

323
00:25:51,900 –> 00:25:54,900
with me over to the gospel of
Mark in chapter 14.

324
00:26:12,100 –> 00:26:16,300
Mark chapter 14.
Reading verse 32 to 41.

325
00:26:18,700 –> 00:26:22,100
And they came to a place which
was named guess simony.

326
00:26:22,800 –> 00:26:28,000
And he said to his disciples sit
here while I pray and he taketh

327
00:26:28,000 –> 00:26:31,600
with him Peter and James, and
John and began to be sore.

328
00:26:31,600 –> 00:26:36,500
Amazed, and to be very heavy and
said unto them, my soul is

329
00:26:36,500 –> 00:26:40,900
exceeding, sorrowful unto death,
tarry, ye here and watch.

330
00:26:41,400 –> 00:26:45,000
And he went forward a little and
fell on the ground and prayed

331
00:26:45,000 –> 00:26:48,300
that if it were possible, the
hour might pass from him.

332
00:26:49,700 –> 00:26:54,000
And he said, ever father, all
these things are possible and

333
00:26:54,000 –> 00:26:55,500
all things are possible unto
thee.

334
00:26:55,900 –> 00:27:00,100
Take away this cup from me.
Nevertheless, not what I will.

335
00:27:00,200 –> 00:27:04,700
But what thou Wilt and he cometh
and findeth them sleeping and

336
00:27:04,700 –> 00:27:07,900
see thunder.
Peter Simon sleepest, thou

337
00:27:09,000 –> 00:27:09,800
chorus.
Not now.

338
00:27:09,800 –> 00:27:12,500
Watch one hour.
What she?

339
00:27:12,500 –> 00:27:15,300
And pray.
Lest you enter into temptation.

340
00:27:16,800 –> 00:27:20,100
The spirit truly is really but
the flesh is weak.

341
00:27:21,200 –> 00:27:24,900
And the dying he went away and
prayed and Spike the same words.

342
00:27:25,400 –> 00:27:29,000
And when he returned, he found
them sleeping again for their

343
00:27:29,000 –> 00:27:31,300
eyes were heavy.
Neither wish, they’d worked

344
00:27:31,300 –> 00:27:34,600
answer him.
And he come at the third time

345
00:27:34,900 –> 00:27:38,600
and said unto them, sleep on
there and take your wrist.

346
00:27:38,900 –> 00:27:42,200
It is enough.
The hour is come because the son

347
00:27:42,200 –> 00:27:48,200
of man is betrayed into the
hands of Sinners, we know the

348
00:27:48,200 –> 00:27:52,900
story but consider today that on
the night Christ was going to be

349
00:27:52,900 –> 00:27:56,700
tortured and killed the night.
That was the Pinnacle of

350
00:27:56,700 –> 00:27:59,300
Christ’s mission to manifest God
to the world.

351
00:28:00,400 –> 00:28:04,400
The most difficult night.
When Christ asked his best

352
00:28:04,400 –> 00:28:08,800
friend’s, just sit with him and
watch they fell asleep.

353
00:28:08,800 –> 00:28:14,400
Three times.
Yet the Lord’s response was not

354
00:28:14,400 –> 00:28:19,300
harsh and motion or condemning
by the world standards.

355
00:28:19,300 –> 00:28:23,200
He would have every right to be
angry yet.

356
00:28:23,900 –> 00:28:27,700
He confronts Peter for his good
knowing that Peter would deny

357
00:28:27,700 –> 00:28:30,700
him and needed to be praying as
well.

358
00:28:31,700 –> 00:28:36,600
He looked to the well-being of
his disciples giving them the

359
00:28:36,600 –> 00:28:40,900
empathy that they didn’t give
him, he showed him.

360
00:28:41,100 –> 00:28:41,900
Perfect.
Love.

361
00:28:43,400 –> 00:28:46,000
Hearing for them on the night of
his death.

362
00:28:47,000 –> 00:28:50,300
His mind would have been full of
the things he had to do.

363
00:28:51,100 –> 00:28:54,600
You see thought of them, he
would have been stressed and

364
00:28:54,600 –> 00:28:59,100
Slick to Pride yet.
He didn’t let that affects the

365
00:28:59,100 –> 00:29:04,900
care and concern that he had for
his Brethren even though when he

366
00:29:04,900 –> 00:29:07,300
needed them the most they fail
him.

367
00:29:09,100 –> 00:29:13,700
Also notice that this is not the
end of the story, the disciples

368
00:29:13,700 –> 00:29:16,600
were tired scared and on the
whole set.

369
00:29:16,800 –> 00:29:19,100
Fresh on the day that their
Master died.

370
00:29:19,800 –> 00:29:23,300
However, they would grow to be
pillars in the Ecclesia

371
00:29:23,700 –> 00:29:26,600
spreading the good news of the
Resurrection for the rest of

372
00:29:26,600 –> 00:29:30,300
their lives.
They would grow to be shipit and

373
00:29:30,300 –> 00:29:33,400
the enclosures of of Jews and
Gentiles.

374
00:29:34,300 –> 00:29:38,000
We’re pressures from within and
without with threatened to tear

375
00:29:38,000 –> 00:29:43,400
their collisions apart.
But in their love, they helped

376
00:29:43,400 –> 00:29:47,600
to bring many others to Hope and
to keep them on the path to

377
00:29:47,600 –> 00:29:54,300
eternal life.
Hebrews 13, Verse 1, house us.

378
00:29:54,800 –> 00:30:00,300
Let’s the Brotherly Love
continue with look today at some

379
00:30:00,300 –> 00:30:03,500
of the Practical sides to
showing love and are close your

380
00:30:03,500 –> 00:30:09,300
family and none of this is new
information but the distance

381
00:30:09,600 –> 00:30:14,100
between knowing this and doing
it as the difference between

382
00:30:14,100 –> 00:30:19,100
eternal life and death, And as
we look on the table before us

383
00:30:19,400 –> 00:30:21,300
and remember the work of Our
Lord.

384
00:30:22,200 –> 00:30:27,300
My hope is that all of us would
be inspired a little more to

385
00:30:27,300 –> 00:30:29,100
show more.
Brotherly.

386
00:30:29,100 –> 00:30:33,000
Kindness to each other.
As our Lord told us disciples in

387
00:30:33,000 –> 00:30:40,100
John 13, verse 15 to 17 for.
I have given you an example that

388
00:30:40,100 –> 00:30:42,300
you should do as I have done to
you.

389
00:30:43,400 –> 00:30:46,000
Verily verily.
I say unto you the servant is

390
00:30:46,000 –> 00:30:49,500
not greater than his Lord.
Neither he, that is sent greater

391
00:30:49,500 –> 00:30:54,500
than he that sent him.
If he know these things, happy

392
00:30:54,500 –> 00:30:59,200
are ye if you do them.
We know these things.

393
00:30:59,800 –> 00:31:17,900
Now let us do them.
