Chapter 7. So we. Move towards the conclusion. Of the Sermon on the Mouth, some of the sayings of which. The thoughts were repeated. By Jesus in. Later thoughts through disciples, and I suppose all of us must. Have felt like. The Jews did. They wondered, and I suppose to many most. All of us must. Have a feeling of when we consider these. Things of the.
- 0:46
Lord, how they penetrate. Into our very lives, very poor being being said. Christianity hadn’t. Been tried and found. Wanting it’s been found hard and not tried and the thermal on the. Mound is perhaps. The PM in an. Example. You can look at it and you can say, you know, isn’t it wonderful? But Jesus is. Fighting no good unless you do it and then? We fight well.
- 1:26
Yes, but it is all it is. And that’s a good. Reason for coming in at the 1st. Job. That he be, not just. When we. Think in sayings of Jesus and let them sit in judgement. The promise How? Can we sit in judgement on one another? Judge not that he be not Judge for with what? Judgement the judges.
- 2:01
Will be done. With what measure you make it? Shall be. Measured to you again. That’s a good general. Rule for Hannibal human beings. I think. It Moffat’s translation I’m remembering from different. Paths, I think Moffat give the little title of the chapters. And if I remember. Rightly his. Verdict on the the. Censorious temp. I love and it’s really safe.
- 2:33
The censorious Heaven the. Disposition to sit. In judgement. A lot of people is. Clearly. Condemned in the. Saying of our Lord in the. Universe with what measure? You make. It doesn’t always does. He mean? The bushel. Basket. You use the basket. You use for measuring. Out is the. One that will be measured. For measuring in and.
- 3:03
You remember. In the they had. A little one for measuring. Out and a big one for measuring in. But Jesus says the measure you use. In your judging of others is the measure that will be used. On you. So be careful how you judge, given it shall be given unto you. Good men and running the river was done. Isn’t it beautiful?
- 3:42
Good. Men get pressed down, shaken. Together and running. Over some men. Pouring to your bosom, but. Only if you. Deal as generously and kindly in your. Judgements with others both. Of us are focused on the drawer, aren’t we? We. We. Make that judgement too easily. And this saying of Jesus is enough. To. Stop it in our.
- 4:11
Traps and say no, wait a bit, John, that you’ve. Been off. Dance. And yet, you see in Scripture, you’ve always got to balance. Things up, have you noticed? You always. Got the balance beams up in. Fact. I have a shot. Some of my brethren Hereford. Because I say you. Tell me a scripture, I’ll tell you one that. Says the opposite.
- 4:39
And this is lovely. True, you know the the one in the problem. Answer not fall. According to his father, let. There also be like answer a fall, according to his father. Let’s give you wise in his own conceit. Started handling it the point about this. They’re both true in their context, in their relevance. But they have to.
- 5:01
Be married up and. Truth. Really. Isn’t that really of? Opposite who they disparage, right? Isn’t that true? So when the the game says David. Is not a. Game this is only but in the context, in its proper relevance. Both are correct, obviously. I nearly said like a silly woman who said I. Agree with Jean, but you’ve got the balance appeared again, haven’t you?
- 5:38
And you’ve got to it not entirely so when we say. And we do sometimes. Say John’s not and though you’ve never. Got to have an. Opinion on anything. Anything. May go. Causes. If you say anything. As as your judgment and of course there are happens in which. Discernment. Judgement. In the sense. Of discernment is absolutely required. Of in the 5th chapter first if you thought the Corinthians. And in the 6th.
- 6:13
Chapter in both cases. You’re. Possibly upbraiding. The Corinthian brethren. Because they didn’t. Judge this. Man who was guilty of moral sin and brought dishonor. To the name. Of size we want. The those of the within. Those of the without budget, but. Those of the within. Are our responsibility so you. Can’t absolve yourself.
- 6:39
From responsibility you have. A response I am not asking. And I must sometimes come to conclusion. Are you not able to judge the? Smallest. Method. Why do you like the heathen court? Is there not one wise man among you that you can send over this method to judge it? For you that you have to go outside.
- 7:07
Judgement from Heathen Court. So they were required. To judgement there are intentions when we. Too have to make. Judgement. And just. Hope this first judge. In order to slide down the corner. Not take any responsibility. Is not balancing up the. Responsibilities of the truth. This is not the. Sense for. And then you’d better be.
- 7:46
Kind in yours, remembering your own. Why? Behold this thou. The Moat. That is in thy brother’s eye. But. Consider it’s not the beam of timber. Because it’s one of his metaphorical, I remember. Brother thing. To me once, years ago. How? This impressed him so. Much he’d never really These are the talking about. You know, would you take, would you take this back out? Of my eye you.
- 8:27
Know. Is that in his? Eye. And and that is the two things that is. Preventing to us. So you better be careful when you do. Matron and look at yourself. 1st. Of all, and most of all, because this is a. Very common view. And how? Often have we been. Guilty. How? Often, I reckon, many, many times. We’ve all.
- 9:07
Been guilt. When you’re a hypnotist and this. Is a word verse 5. That frightens the life. You’re only sometimes I. Think we’re so afraid? Make any. Judgments at all and anything goes because we’re.
- 9:38
You find you’re so afraid of being a. Hypocrite that you don’t even stand up for what’s right. At the right time. First cast out the beam out of thine own and then shook our. Seed to cast. Out the Moat out of thy brother’s eye.
- 10:00
It was one thing. Jesus but hip hop I can’t remember Jesus ever being. Angry or speaking 1/2 word to. Anybody in the gospel accept the. Tribes and the Paris. Things, of course they. Were the people who thought. They were all right. They were the deeply. Religious people pretending to a right which the people looked up to.
- 10:40
They. Felt these couldn’t be something. But they were only. And through the pictures, we’ve got examples of the way the Word of God is. Quick and powerful. And sharper than any. Two edged sword. To hear. Through this kind. Of hypocrisy do. You remember the story. Of Jude or entitled we write respect. The discredit in. The Book of Genesis.
- 11:11
I had taken or felt herself to. Have been I’ll used. By a. Founder in law this guide herself as a prostitute. And Judah was looking for some. Pleasure when we knew that not that was the. Moment of memory prostitute. And left her and paid. Her in due course. And then when she. Became pregnant the village. Was in an uproar AIMA.
- 11:40
Is with prostitute. Says the rights of. Judah until she says. By the man. Whom am I with, child? Ask him if he recognized. What a position. Please her.
- 12:09
Thy know nigh. And then shut they’ll. See. Dave. In the same position. Wasn’t he, after all, the. Turmoil of his soul described in Psalm 32, when he bottled up his iniquity. Of the business and Barb things,
- 12:33
and then the prophet comes in and says. About this. Rich man who’s stolen the literary you. Lamb of his poor member. And not only the man like that, you are the man.
- 12:48
You are the man, that’s the way. To read. That’s what God’s trying to get through to. It you’re not reading. About other people’s. Fins. And other people’s foibles. It’s you. You’re. Reading about you are. When he despairs about the most of the. He means people like me who do things. Like that in Romans chapter 2 and having described all the. Sins that went.
- 13:31
On in that. Thing of the Apostle. Therefore thou art. Inexcusable though, man. In the. World another, thou thyself. Who is the same thing now? I’m. Sure, Paul didn’t mean well. I can’t. I don’t think. That the Duke. Was right. Actually. Went through the same. Perverse that he described it.
- 14:05
But he meant you may be doing the same. Thing in another form and we may. Easily condemn a. Sin in one form. And be outheld. Perpetrating it in another generosity, in our opinion. Is more likely to be. Opposite than harshness. Bearing with.
- 14:35
Brotherhood has been. Judgment upon them considering. Nice. Left now that doesn’t. Mean that we don’t try. To rescue a person, a brother or a. Sister or anybody else who we see falling away into grievous sin. It doesn’t mean the fame. We just are when you. You mustn’t judge, of course we must. Try to help of. Course we must, but.
- 15:08
Do it in the. Spirit of meekness and. Remember that there but of the grace. Of God in the old. There, but of the grace. Of God go I in this chapter. Jesus seems to summarize for me when he says therefore. Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye Even so to.
- 15:40
Them for this is. The Law and the. Prophet, the Golden Rule. The Golden. Rule of Tom whatsoever. Do ye also to. Them lie. For this is the law and prophet. Someone who said give me a summary of the law and the. Prophet. Would you have said? Well, promises to Abraham from covenant to David.
- 16:24
All the. Promises of Israel’s restoration, I guess that sort. Of. Thing a summary of law. Is. Really. That shall love thy. Neighbours myself. Do unto others. As you wouldn’t, they should say to you the policy. Doesn’t make it. That’s all there is to it. That’s all it’s all about. Of course it’s perfectly.
- 16:52
True, and Jesus would tell us. That the. Promises made to Abraham. Is important and the Kingdom of God come. It’s so important. When God’s will. Can be done. In Earth, that is. In heaven and all the things that we. Associate with law and Prophet.
- 17:16
What he’s saying is unless it brings this kind of parrot into. It’s fail. This is the object of it all. God. Is trying to create. A certain kind of people as we. Join our first talk. The citizens of the Kingdom, that’s what God is trying to create a people who. Will be able to enjoy living.
- 17:39
And. As a summary of all that. Whatever ye would that men should do to you, do ye also do them like. So, brethren, Sister, in dealing with the. Eggshell, the human nature.
- 18:08
We armed. Was careful, you know. We tremble about sometimes with our great boots all over the. People. All through people. These has never did. Or I think so wonderful way these have had besides in the Paris you start with, but the poor. People who felt weighed down by their inhabitants, they’re saying they’re.
- 18:43
Disvening them, they don’t. Even want them mentioned to anybody else summing. It up in my mind with this. Woman with this short. Love. She felt always ashamed about it. I didn’t want to. Be found. Out that she wanted to be with me old and. Here she is suddenly thrust out into the middle, and everybody is looking at her and she trembling and.
- 19:11
Frighted and Jesus said. To her, it’s all right, woman. He didn’t, he said. Daughter, Daughter. Thy faith that made. Me hard. Going. Peace, that’s why. One another. That’s why we ought to deal with all people, if Jesus could, who have no sin. How are we not to? Try to emulate the gentle when we’re dealing with fragile humans.
- 19:59
As I. Think I had suggested in an earlier talk. Are not gullible on. Discerning fools. You say the sense of judgement, discernment. Has to be there in all our daily. And inverse we’ve got this. Far. Getting up that, but it’s wholly under the dock. Neither castle nor. Pearl before swine, lest they. Tremble among their things.
- 20:31
And turn again in written. Some. Kind of desire mind is implied here then. Isn’t it some kind? Of judgment, but on what basis? It’s certainly not. Sure of that. We can. Never be dismissive of anything.
- 20:55
Sometimes we’re not too dismissed. Wipe other people. Away evangelists or somebody? Evangelicals asleep. In the hand and they’re. In the waist, we. Can’t live like that.
- 21:19
But we’ve got. To be discerning, can’t. Put your pearls before swine, we must. Try to see what. People’s reaction is I think that’s the answer. No good thing, no good pinching there. Down end of the. City, I’m not listening. We were talking about this in the discussion. Group. Weren’t we one of the? Discussion groups, you know.
- 21:46
About the kind of people we should try to ring with the gospel. Sometimes that will be pretty good. We don’t know. We do not know. That’s what we don’t know. But. When you tried. When when the rich man porn and beg a man or thing when you’ve. Treaded you spell trouble. Then there’s no cord that goes.
- 22:18
Sticking your neck out so that he can hit you over and over again. If they personally. Do in one. Sitting fling to another chapter, sink in the ground and remain on you. Find time in the. Distance. Beware of false prophets. Which come. To you in sinks clothing within their ravening wall. You shall know them by their fruits.
- 22:47
The men gather. Greatest. All of it. Is cool even though every good fruit bringeth forth good. Fruit to the corrupt, so you bringeth. Forth evil fruits. Wherefore by their. Fruits. We shall know them. And I know us too. It’s all very well. To say by their. Fruits. You will know.
- 23:15
By alpha they will. Know ah, sometimes I’ve. Heard it said. Well, you know. You don’t have to judge Christa Delphinism by Christa Delphinism when. Perhaps a bad talk? May behave some brother. Or sister or somebody outside has made unfazing. Remarks would. Say well, we’ve got the truth. And you don’t have. To join the truth by the behaviour you do, that’s just what you do and. People are justified in doing it. By our fruits we shall.
- 23:56
Be. In exactly the same way as we must discern discernment again by their fruit. You shall know them. In the end. Is that the quality of life So is whether. We have the truth. This is our daily witness to the world. Verse 21 not. Everyone that says. Unto me, Lord. Lord. Shall enter into.
- 24:26
The Kingdom of Heaven. And that he that doeth the will of. Thy father, which is in. Heaven, Manuel, say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, I must probably know, you know that. Didn’t he speak thee or not to cover them? Then will I? Profess under. Them I never knew.
- 24:57
You. That people. Can think they’re all. Right, not everyone that says Lord, Lord. But he. That doeth there’s a problem. Robert Robert in the introduction to the little booklet of the Commandment of. Trust. Said something on thee. Whilst Satan turned a. Sinner into a Satan. Obedience alone will secure a St. accent. The judgement Think of Christ, true or false.
- 25:44
Do you think that’s right? I’ll repeat while St. Turns the Sinner into. A St. Obedience alone. Will secure a St. That helped the judgement. Seen the trust? Hence here’s the command for the rhetorical question. But I’m glad that you answered. Thank you. Thank you. I feel that, Brother Robert. Was emphasizing a particular. Point.
- 26:25
That’s over. It is. One order, one is all over it point. One and it. Is. How is that to bring the thing through faith? And that. Wasn’t it, but the? I think where he is wrong is the alone obedience. Alone rather like. Martin Luther with the other and said salvation. Was by faith alone it’s.
- 27:04
Faith that works. And it’s obedience with. Grace, the grace of God. Because in the end, if we take those commandments of Christ, which. We bring. And say well. Obedience will get you’re. Under a law of work, don’t you? And you’ll not get there. In the end, as several people tried. Out. And I’m. Delighted it is through the grace. Of God.
- 27:44
And if. Only with his help. And he’s not working, you know that. We’re able to come in anywhere near to the fulfilment. Of the things that he demands. Brother Robert Rob. You is over him. And we do.
- 28:06
When we have come to have. I believe a greater. Apprehension of the need for grace and mercy and love and the Spirit of God. If you like, we have come perhaps to minimize too much the importance. Of. If you know things, happy are you. If you do so. The whole. Of the. Teaching of England conclude with.
- 28:47
And this isn’t a contrast between. Deep and shallow knowledge in my Thunder I. Was taught well, I think I was told so long ago perhaps. I wasn’t told that I imagined that I grew. Up with the idea. That the difference. Between these two, Jack. Was. That one had made the foundation. Of Poly. In the word, Bob got a good grasp of being. And the other.
- 29:17
Was swallowing a. Bit wishy washy. And when the storm came, his building went, and his building stood. Now perfect of course thing for our understanding. And I’d say that rather. Than nothing. The thing of the Word of God, the better our. Building is likely. To be the point. Is not the. Two men, one over lever grass. He’s saying the difference between the man who? Feels things.
- 30:07
Sayings of mine and does, and the man who hears the sayings of mine and. Doesn’t do, so don’t. Let us underrate. Them. Of turning these teachings of Jesus into reality and practicing what we pray. The Manifesto of the. King began with a. Declaration. Of the Princess. On which he backed the. Kind of peace. That God is of.
- 30:54
Men and women of God went. On to give some examples of the way of citizens will behave which. I think we agree. Nobody disagrees with me or pumps me on the nose afterwards, so I assume they agree Which? Means we’ve got to interpret. These things throughout the I was like, not a law saying, do they?
- 31:21
Do that. Do that but. Principle. Right, Christmas and good. Some law, true owning, which we have to empower. Trip into our living and try conscience and.
- 31:37
Try in everybody living. And it is now. Concluded with a. Warning that lit service. Is no substitute loyalty to the standard? It’s not just a matter of saying. I’ve enlisted in the Kingdom it being a good soldier. Of the Christ. The further on the noun is not the. Code of combat, but an outline of the principle. By which the lives?
- 32:11
Of people should be governed to be worked out in the context. Of each. Generation of believers and the context changes. And we still have to work. Out the same. Principle I think sometimes. Rather in make a mistake. In. Omitting the context, the facial condition in which we are living, we tend to think we’re still in the 90s.
- 32:43
Often in the 1st century or. Even in the. Pains of Asia my. Lower Brother. Is politically right. Because I even. Have met more than one. Life, and it must. Be right. And we? Live in a different part. But we’ve still got. To work out. In the fabric. The title of Christ. We may not always agree on the application in our days, it’s an individual responsibility.
- 33:21
For us to applying it. But we’ve all got. Them trying to interpret life. In the. Light of this manifest and. So grow towards immaturity, our children. Of God indicated in those words that. Deemed in the earlier. Conscience. Beijing, therefore, of your power in heaven. Is perfect.
- 33:50
Then when the Kingdom. Is established at last. And the Lord has come in glory in the whole. Earth is. Ruled by Jesus I. Believe it will. Embody these are the. Principles. Of life that will.
- 34:10
In the Kingdom. Of God, Christ. Will be supreme, and God’s ideas will be. Paramount. There are those. Who think? The Lord knows is going to be reintroduced. In the Kingdom of God.
- 34:27
I don’t know. I don’t. I don’t. Think so myself. I think the sermon. On the mound is going to. Be resolved. It may be, of course, a new. Law or it? May be that in wisdom of the Lord there will be aspects. Of the law. The ritual properly. Reintroduced the Pheromonial in order that the nations of the world might.
- 34:54
Be taught. The ways of God. Certainly, it appears it will be. The. Anger of his worship in Jerusalem and the nations flowing. Up to Jerusalem saying. We will. He will teach. Us of his ways and we will walk in his path. But what are the ways and what are the paths they? Are names and.
- 35:23
What will society be like rather than system? When the Lord is in control and the. Holy is filled with His glory and. The nations of the. World and myriad millions of men and women on the face. Of the Earth. Will be. Living according to these. Prince Kindness and. Gentleness and benevolence, of humility and love will reign through Prince.
- 35:54
And the glory of God. Shown to us. In the thanks of Jesus. Christ. We’ll fill the earth with sunshine and the. Citizens. The administrators. Something the rulers. Are being prepared. Now, I don’t think I am too interested in ruling over 10 cities or five cities, and I think that was only a part.
- 36:29
Of the structure of. The parable of Jesus. That tell us that. He will reward his disciples. I. Shall be and I’m. Sure you will. If he just lets me in to share. To live in, to enjoy it. Forever, but we’ve got to start now and that’s how things is saying.
- 37:00
The Kingdom of God in this. Sense did not lose and. Risk but righteousness and. And joy in the. Holy. And even now. Shall I begin? The song forever.
- 37:24
Brother CC. Walker once said. And this is only in the side. I didn’t move shut. Off, he once said. Some people say the Kingdom of God has come. Already, if the Kingdom of God has. Come, I shouldn’t have this dripping. Nose, he’s got a cold at the time and you wouldn’t have that calf.
- 37:43
Fist, you wouldn’t. How is the? Blessing of the. Kingdom that all these. Trials of our mortality will be done. But the most? Delightful of all is not what? This is for but the spiritual. The righteousness, peace and joy that will then be. Established.
- 38:10
And we can start it now that that’s. The message of Jesus. Leopard there is. This is. Our the men. There’s a business thing now and. There’s a ton.
