Welcome to good for 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
00:00:26,600 –> 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
00:00:50,900 –> 00:00:53,200
for talk this week.
We’re listening to an excitation
10
00:00:53,200 –> 00:00:58,300
that was given my brother, Jason
Hensley in September of 2021 and
11
00:00:58,300 –> 00:01:00,600
in his excitation, which he
takes from The account of the
12
00:01:00,600 –> 00:01:02,900
Lord’s Prayer in Luke chapter
11.
13
00:01:03,200 –> 00:01:06,300
So if you’d like to read through
the Lord’s prayer before hand,
14
00:01:06,400 –> 00:01:10,100
that’s the passage that he is
pulling from primarily, brother,
15
00:01:10,100 –> 00:01:13,100
Jason is looking specifically at
one of the lines in the Lord’s
16
00:01:13,100 –> 00:01:16,700
Prayer where Jesus instructs us
to pray that God lead us not
17
00:01:16,700 –> 00:01:19,900
into temptation.
And his expectation is sort of
18
00:01:19,900 –> 00:01:24,700
breaking down that passage and
kind of almost the Paradox that
19
00:01:24,700 –> 00:01:30,400
is created by that account.
Looking at the It Parts in
20
00:01:30,400 –> 00:01:33,900
scripture talking about how God
is not able to tempt us, but
21
00:01:33,900 –> 00:01:37,900
also that we were supposed to be
looking for, and asking for God
22
00:01:37,900 –> 00:01:40,800
to work, on our lives, to help
us to grow to better reflect
23
00:01:40,800 –> 00:01:42,900
God’s character.
And to follow after the example
24
00:01:42,900 –> 00:01:45,400
of Jesus.
So, I found this to be a really
25
00:01:45,900 –> 00:01:49,600
encouraging excitation helps to
put better context in about how
26
00:01:49,600 –> 00:01:54,100
we should view, what we’re going
through in our lives and also,
27
00:01:54,400 –> 00:01:57,200
what we should be asking for and
looking for in our walk because
28
00:01:57,200 –> 00:01:59,800
we know that our lives will be
continued.
29
00:02:00,000 –> 00:02:04,700
In pushed to try to not be like
our fleshly desires been,
30
00:02:04,700 –> 00:02:07,400
instead be more like the example
that Jesus set forth.
31
00:02:07,800 –> 00:02:10,100
So I found this to be a really
encouraging excitation.
32
00:02:10,100 –> 00:02:13,200
I enjoyed listening to it, I
hope that you will as well, and
33
00:02:13,200 –> 00:02:15,500
that you will find it to be an
encouragement to you in your
34
00:02:15,500 –> 00:02:17,500
walk.
So with that, I will turn it
35
00:02:17,500 –> 00:02:21,500
over to brother Jason Hensley
for his extrication, The Lord’s
36
00:02:21,500 –> 00:02:23,900
Prayer, lead us not into
temptation.
37
00:02:24,000 –> 00:02:28,700
Good morning everyone.
So we at we were just looking at
38
00:02:28,700 –> 00:02:32,800
Luke Chapter 11, Even with the
Lord’s Prayer and that’s what
39
00:02:32,800 –> 00:02:35,600
we’re going to talk about today.
Specifically, I want to look at
40
00:02:35,600 –> 00:02:38,700
that phrase at the end of the
prayer, specifically, at the end
41
00:02:38,700 –> 00:02:44,600
of Luke here where it says in
verse 4 lead us, not into
42
00:02:44,600 –> 00:02:48,100
temptation, that’s Luke 11 and
verse 4.
43
00:02:49,200 –> 00:02:52,800
So exhortation today will be
about that phrase.
44
00:02:52,800 –> 00:02:55,400
The ending of The Lord’s Prayer
here in Luke.
45
00:02:56,000 –> 00:02:58,100
And we’re just going to ask a
few questions to try and
46
00:02:58,100 –> 00:03:00,900
understand what exactly.
Exactly is going on.
47
00:03:01,000 –> 00:03:05,300
I mean, the, the Lord Jesus
tells us to pray this prayer.
48
00:03:06,200 –> 00:03:08,500
Now, this is how we are supposed
to pray.
49
00:03:09,400 –> 00:03:12,900
And yet, I feel like we learned
the prayer.
50
00:03:13,200 –> 00:03:20,000
Maybe we say it regularly, But
this last phrase is really a bit
51
00:03:20,000 –> 00:03:23,500
challenging to understand.
You can read through the rest of
52
00:03:23,500 –> 00:03:25,300
it.
Your kingdom come at, that’s
53
00:03:25,300 –> 00:03:27,900
pretty simple.
You want the kingdom to come a
54
00:03:27,908 –> 00:03:31,000
prayer for bread?
I pray for forgiveness, those
55
00:03:31,000 –> 00:03:35,000
those are straightforward and
they make sense the prayer lead
56
00:03:35,000 –> 00:03:39,100
us not into temptation.
It’s a little more tricky.
57
00:03:40,500 –> 00:03:45,000
You might think, well, why don’t
we all want to avoid temptation
58
00:03:45,500 –> 00:03:49,900
but I think that’s true.
But it presents a few questions.
59
00:03:49,900 –> 00:03:52,900
And that’s what we’re going to
attempt to understand.
60
00:03:53,100 –> 00:03:55,600
We’re going to ask some
questions and attempt to find
61
00:03:55,600 –> 00:04:00,800
answers in this exhortation.
So here’s the first question.
62
00:04:02,500 –> 00:04:04,200
Do you remember a verse from
James?
63
00:04:06,000 –> 00:04:11,000
It goes something like this.
Let no, man say when he is
64
00:04:11,000 –> 00:04:16,000
tempted.
I am tempted of God.
65
00:04:17,600 –> 00:04:19,800
For God himself, cannot be
tempted with evil.
66
00:04:20,700 –> 00:04:24,300
Nor does he tempt any, man?
That’s James, 1 verse, 13, James
67
00:04:24,300 –> 00:04:26,400
1:13.
So, James tells us right away.
68
00:04:26,900 –> 00:04:30,900
God does not tempt anyone.
So, I think that’s kind of the
69
00:04:30,907 –> 00:04:33,100
first question.
You know, as we come at this in
70
00:04:33,100 –> 00:04:36,300
verse 4, the Lord Jesus says,
pray to God that he will not
71
00:04:36,300 –> 00:04:39,000
lead you into temptation.
And yet, James tells us well,
72
00:04:39,000 –> 00:04:43,000
don’t worry because he won’t So
how about that?
73
00:04:44,100 –> 00:04:47,200
Are we supposed to pray for
something that is not even going
74
00:04:47,200 –> 00:04:50,700
to happen?
What does that mean?
75
00:04:51,900 –> 00:04:54,000
So we’re going to spend a little
bit of time trying to
76
00:04:54,000 –> 00:04:57,800
understand.
What does it mean lead us not
77
00:04:57,800 –> 00:05:00,300
into temptation?
That’s the first section here
78
00:05:00,400 –> 00:05:04,100
that we’ll look at.
The second thing then becomes
79
00:05:04,100 –> 00:05:06,900
well.
If we do work on this premise
80
00:05:06,900 –> 00:05:09,100
that God will lead us into
temptation.
81
00:05:09,400 –> 00:05:13,600
You know, if we figure out
what’s going on with James. then
82
00:05:15,900 –> 00:05:18,900
why would a loving God lead you
into temptation?
83
00:05:20,200 –> 00:05:21,500
I think that’s the second
question.
84
00:05:21,500 –> 00:05:23,000
So that’s the second thing we’re
going to talk about.
85
00:05:23,400 –> 00:05:27,000
So how does God lead us into
temptation if James says he
86
00:05:27,000 –> 00:05:32,100
doesn’t and then if he does lead
in to Temptation then how is
87
00:05:32,100 –> 00:05:34,800
that a loving father?
How does that work?
88
00:05:37,100 –> 00:05:41,600
And then finally if we finally
get to that point of saying
89
00:05:41,600 –> 00:05:44,400
well, okay, it is loving to lead
us into temptation.
90
00:05:46,600 –> 00:05:49,500
Why are we then asking not to be
led into it?
91
00:05:51,100 –> 00:05:53,600
You know if we come to this
conclusion, well Temptation
92
00:05:53,600 –> 00:05:56,400
makes me strong temptation is
good.
93
00:05:56,800 –> 00:06:01,400
I want it shouldn’t we then end
the prayer with and please lead
94
00:06:01,400 –> 00:06:04,400
me into temptation so I can get
better.
95
00:06:05,900 –> 00:06:07,300
That’s definitely not what it
says.
96
00:06:08,000 –> 00:06:11,400
So what exactly is happening?
So we want to understand how
97
00:06:11,400 –> 00:06:14,400
does this fit with James, right?
What actually is being meant by
98
00:06:14,600 –> 00:06:18,700
leading into temptation?
Why does a loving God lead into
99
00:06:18,700 –> 00:06:23,500
temptation?
And Why are we being praying?
100
00:06:23,500 –> 00:06:25,700
Why are we praying to be led out
of it.
101
00:06:26,700 –> 00:06:30,100
So those are the three things
that we will consider this
102
00:06:30,100 –> 00:06:32,600
morning.
Well, first of all, I think it’s
103
00:06:32,600 –> 00:06:37,100
helpful to note that this word
here for temptation is its
104
00:06:37,100 –> 00:06:38,900
multifaceted.
And this is one of the things
105
00:06:38,900 –> 00:06:41,600
that I love about.
Looking at biblical languages
106
00:06:42,600 –> 00:06:44,500
words, mean, multiple things,
right?
107
00:06:44,500 –> 00:06:47,100
It’s just like English, you
know, or any other language that
108
00:06:47,100 –> 00:06:51,400
words have multiple meanings.
So this word, you might not be
109
00:06:51,400 –> 00:06:54,700
surprised to know that it
actually means Temptation,
110
00:06:55,700 –> 00:06:58,700
there’s one of the meanings.
He’s so you can see, you can
111
00:06:58,700 –> 00:07:00,500
take a look at different places
that it’s used in the New
112
00:07:00,500 –> 00:07:02,700
Testament.
And it very clearly means to be
113
00:07:02,700 –> 00:07:06,000
tempted as in want to do
something bad.
114
00:07:06,600 –> 00:07:10,600
So one example for you is
Matthew 4 verse 1, you don’t
115
00:07:10,600 –> 00:07:13,600
have to go there but in Matthew
4, verse 1, that’s Jesus
116
00:07:13,600 –> 00:07:16,000
Temptations, right?
He was led into the Wilderness
117
00:07:16,000 –> 00:07:18,300
to be tempted of the devil as
what it says there.
118
00:07:18,800 –> 00:07:22,400
Matthew 4 verse 1.
So, real, Temptation, legitimate
119
00:07:22,400 –> 00:07:27,900
Temptation.
Hebrews 4:15 Hebrews 4:15.
120
00:07:27,900 –> 00:07:30,900
Do you remember that one?
We have not a high priest who
121
00:07:30,900 –> 00:07:33,600
cannot be touched with the
feelings of our infirmities, but
122
00:07:33,600 –> 00:07:38,100
was tempted in all points like
as we are right?
123
00:07:38,200 –> 00:07:42,200
So this is Jesus Temptations
again, real legitimate
124
00:07:42,200 –> 00:07:46,900
Temptations to sin.
So means Temptation, the nice
125
00:07:46,900 –> 00:07:49,400
thing is, that’s not the only
meaning of the word.
126
00:07:50,500 –> 00:07:53,200
So the word also has another
possible meeting and you know
127
00:07:53,200 –> 00:07:55,500
generally you figure this out
with context, right?
128
00:07:56,300 –> 00:07:58,000
So here’s another one of the
meanings.
129
00:07:59,200 –> 00:08:01,200
Let’s go over to Deuteronomy
chapter 8.
130
00:08:04,000 –> 00:08:09,500
So, Deuteronomy 8.
Now, obviously the Old Testament
131
00:08:09,500 –> 00:08:13,100
is in Hebrew, not in Greek, but
if you look at the Septuagint,
132
00:08:13,200 –> 00:08:17,300
the Greek version of the Old
Testament Deuteronomy 8, you’ll
133
00:08:17,300 –> 00:08:20,600
find the same word that the Lord
used in his prayer.
134
00:08:22,900 –> 00:08:28,400
So Deuteronomy, 8 verse 2.
Deuteronomy 8 verse 2.
135
00:08:28,400 –> 00:08:31,700
This is Moses on the edge of the
promised land essentially
136
00:08:31,700 –> 00:08:34,400
rehearsing to the Israelites,
everything that they went
137
00:08:34,400 –> 00:08:40,400
through as they were preparing
now to go in So in Deuteronomy 8
138
00:08:40,400 –> 00:08:44,900
verse 2, here’s the other
meaning of the same word,
139
00:08:45,200 –> 00:08:51,300
temptation, Deuteronomy, 8 verse
2 says, and you shall remember
140
00:08:51,900 –> 00:08:55,800
the whole way that the Lord your
God has led you these forty
141
00:08:55,800 –> 00:08:58,900
years in the wilderness that he
might humble.
142
00:08:58,900 –> 00:09:04,500
You testing you to know what was
in your heart, whether you would
143
00:09:04,500 –> 00:09:09,300
keep his Commandments or not.
So, what’s fascinating about
144
00:09:09,300 –> 00:09:13,500
this word is that it could be
temptation as, in trying to, you
145
00:09:13,500 –> 00:09:15,700
know, having the possibility of
doing something bad.
146
00:09:16,700 –> 00:09:20,500
Or it could mean tempting like
not tempting testing.
147
00:09:20,700 –> 00:09:23,000
Could mean testing like
refining, right?
148
00:09:24,100 –> 00:09:25,800
And so, that’s what we see here
in Deuteronomy.
149
00:09:26,900 –> 00:09:30,300
You have to figure out, which
is, which based on the context.
150
00:09:30,300 –> 00:09:33,700
So, I would suggest that
considering since James says,
151
00:09:33,700 –> 00:09:35,700
God doesn’t tempt anyone with
evil.
152
00:09:36,200 –> 00:09:37,900
We can probably say, okay, well,
Well.
153
00:09:38,900 –> 00:09:41,500
When we pray lead us, not into
temptation.
154
00:09:43,200 –> 00:09:46,400
That were actually praying lead
us not into testing.
155
00:09:49,300 –> 00:09:50,800
So that’s an interesting
concept, though.
156
00:09:52,000 –> 00:09:55,000
Lead us not into testing because
that leads into the next
157
00:09:55,000 –> 00:09:59,900
question.
Why would a God who loves us
158
00:10:00,800 –> 00:10:04,000
test us?
Anyway, what’s the idea there?
159
00:10:04,700 –> 00:10:07,600
And, you know, I think it’s a
fairly standard answer but we
160
00:10:07,600 –> 00:10:10,300
want to build on it.
If you’re still in Deuteronomy
161
00:10:11,400 –> 00:10:14,600
Notice that God explains why he
tested them.
162
00:10:16,200 –> 00:10:20,800
Let’s skip down here to verse 5.
So we’re in Deuteronomy 8 now in
163
00:10:20,800 –> 00:10:23,600
verse 5.
So he said I tested you and he
164
00:10:23,608 –> 00:10:26,000
explains why in verse 5.
He says no.
165
00:10:26,000 –> 00:10:32,200
Then in your heart, that as a
man disciplines his son, the
166
00:10:32,200 –> 00:10:40,000
Lord your God disciplines you We
talked about this a lot, so I
167
00:10:40,000 –> 00:10:42,500
recognize I’m not, you know,
presenting anything that.
168
00:10:42,700 –> 00:10:48,000
Wow, that’s totally changed my
outlook on everything but I
169
00:10:48,000 –> 00:10:51,000
think it’s helpful to back up
and not just ask.
170
00:10:51,600 –> 00:10:56,900
Well I’m not just say Okay so
God tests us because he’s a
171
00:10:56,900 –> 00:11:00,800
father and it’s disciplining us
to help us grow.
172
00:11:01,500 –> 00:11:05,900
But it’s helpful to actually
think about What that means.
173
00:11:08,500 –> 00:11:15,200
I would imagine that.
When you have tested or
174
00:11:15,200 –> 00:11:20,000
discipline your children, you
generally don’t do it saying ha
175
00:11:20,000 –> 00:11:21,400
ha ha.
That’s what you get?
176
00:11:22,000 –> 00:11:24,600
Yeah, something along those
lines or that’s what you deserve
177
00:11:24,900 –> 00:11:28,000
or man, I hope this one crushes
you, right?
178
00:11:28,100 –> 00:11:29,600
We don’t, we don’t typically
think this.
179
00:11:30,100 –> 00:11:36,300
Hopefully, and I think what’s
astonishing is that there are
180
00:11:36,300 –> 00:11:39,600
times perhaps when we are not,
maybe as sympathetic as we
181
00:11:39,600 –> 00:11:42,900
should be.
And yet, when we look at
182
00:11:42,900 –> 00:11:47,000
scripture and God presenting
himself as his father, who is
183
00:11:47,000 –> 00:11:51,500
disciplining us, there’s this
emotional side of him.
184
00:11:53,000 –> 00:11:56,300
That’s involved in our testing.
That I don’t think we often
185
00:11:56,300 –> 00:11:59,400
consider its come over now to
Judges chapter 10.
186
00:12:00,400 –> 00:12:02,400
I think that this is just to me,
this is one of the most
187
00:12:02,400 –> 00:12:06,400
phenomenal aspects of the way
that God displays himself to us.
188
00:12:07,000 –> 00:12:08,900
Take a look at this.
This is judges 10.
189
00:12:11,200 –> 00:12:15,500
And we’re looking now at the
oppression of the Israelites
190
00:12:15,800 –> 00:12:20,900
after their unfaithfulness.
Judges chapter 10 and we’re
191
00:12:20,908 –> 00:12:24,100
going to read verse 16.
And I want you to listen for
192
00:12:25,100 –> 00:12:29,900
God’s emotions regarding
Israel’s discipline.
193
00:12:30,900 –> 00:12:34,200
It’s only shows up a few times
but I think when it does it’s
194
00:12:34,200 –> 00:12:37,400
very powerful for us.
So Listen for God’s emotions
195
00:12:37,700 –> 00:12:41,300
over Israel’s discipline.
This is judges 10 and verse 16.
196
00:12:41,600 –> 00:12:45,800
It says so they put away the
foreign Gods from among them and
197
00:12:45,800 –> 00:12:51,800
serve the Lord.
And he became impatient.
198
00:12:53,700 –> 00:12:56,800
Over the misery of Israel.
Isn’t that fascinating?
199
00:12:57,300 –> 00:12:59,100
It doesn’t say he became
impatient over there,
200
00:12:59,100 –> 00:13:02,400
unfaithfulness because in fact,
it says, they turn to him.
201
00:13:03,200 –> 00:13:07,700
And what we see is that it says
God is looking at them and and
202
00:13:07,700 –> 00:13:12,900
he gets almost antsy, you know,
over I want to save them.
203
00:13:16,100 –> 00:13:19,000
Now, that’s what the ESV says,
impatient.
204
00:13:19,200 –> 00:13:22,200
If you have a King James, you
might see the word grieved.
205
00:13:23,700 –> 00:13:25,700
And I would actually suggest.
That’s probably more.
206
00:13:25,800 –> 00:13:28,000
That’s closer to what the
Hebrews getting at it.
207
00:13:29,400 –> 00:13:30,900
It’s a fascinating.
Kind of word.
208
00:13:31,000 –> 00:13:35,500
It’s used to refer to, like,
cutting wheat.
209
00:13:36,800 –> 00:13:39,300
Shortening wheat.
It’s used in regard to Reapers.
210
00:13:39,700 –> 00:13:41,700
In fact there’s actually one
place I believe it’s an Isaiah
211
00:13:41,700 –> 00:13:43,200
where it’s used to mowing the
grass.
212
00:13:43,800 –> 00:13:47,900
So, the the idea here is that,
it’s like, you have, you know,
213
00:13:47,900 –> 00:13:50,900
your breath of patients and
keeps getting smaller and
214
00:13:50,900 –> 00:13:52,800
smaller and smaller.
And here, God is.
215
00:13:53,000 –> 00:13:55,400
Right at the end, saying I gotta
help them.
216
00:13:55,400 –> 00:13:59,700
I gotta help them.
Isn’t that awesome to think of
217
00:13:59,700 –> 00:14:02,900
God like that?
I this is the this is the
218
00:14:02,900 –> 00:14:07,000
emotion of God in regard to our
testing and so he asked how
219
00:14:07,000 –> 00:14:12,900
could a loving God tests us?
and I think we could actually
220
00:14:12,900 –> 00:14:17,900
frame the question in a
different way in terms of Wow.
221
00:14:18,700 –> 00:14:21,300
How could a god like that test
us.
222
00:14:21,700 –> 00:14:26,800
This is what we’re seeing is he
actually goes through pain as he
223
00:14:26,800 –> 00:14:30,000
watches are testing.
This is brought to us.
224
00:14:30,000 –> 00:14:34,300
I think even stronger.
If we go over to Isaiah 63, If
225
00:14:34,300 –> 00:14:37,000
you go to Isaiah 63, consider
this.
226
00:14:40,500 –> 00:14:43,500
Isaiah 63.
This is the story of the
227
00:14:44,300 –> 00:14:47,500
Israelites in the wilderness
again and this is Isaiah’s
228
00:14:47,700 –> 00:14:51,600
rendition of it.
And notice again.
229
00:14:51,600 –> 00:14:55,000
How it describes God and God’s
emotions.
230
00:14:55,600 –> 00:14:58,800
Sighs a 63 and we’re going to
read verse 9.
231
00:15:00,200 –> 00:15:03,400
Well actually, let’s go back to
verse 8, Isaiah 63 verse 8.
232
00:15:04,600 –> 00:15:06,800
So this is again, looking at the
Israelites in the wilderness.
233
00:15:07,000 –> 00:15:12,900
It says here in verse 8 for, he
said, surely, they are my people
234
00:15:13,700 –> 00:15:17,800
children, who will not deal
falsely and he became their
235
00:15:17,800 –> 00:15:25,700
savior Now, think about this
next line. in all their
236
00:15:25,700 –> 00:15:34,600
Affliction, he was afflicted,
That’s the god that we worship
237
00:15:35,300 –> 00:15:37,400
isn’t.
Isn’t that astonishing that this
238
00:15:37,400 –> 00:15:40,800
is telling us that when they
were in Egypt, when they were
239
00:15:40,800 –> 00:15:44,200
suffering and God wanted to
deliver them that when the whip
240
00:15:44,200 –> 00:15:49,200
came down, God felt that he felt
that pain and he was watching
241
00:15:49,200 –> 00:15:51,200
and he was hurting over what was
going on.
242
00:15:51,900 –> 00:15:55,600
So when we think How could a
loving God?
243
00:15:55,600 –> 00:16:00,700
Bring this testing?
I think instead when we realize
244
00:16:00,700 –> 00:16:04,300
what scriptures telling us about
God, We should actually stand
245
00:16:04,300 –> 00:16:07,000
back in awe.
That here is someone who is
246
00:16:07,000 –> 00:16:12,100
suffering over the pain of all
of his people and their
247
00:16:12,100 –> 00:16:16,600
suffering.
And yet, he goes through that
248
00:16:16,600 –> 00:16:21,000
with us.
Because of how much he loves us.
249
00:16:24,100 –> 00:16:27,900
Now, I think that’s really
brought home to us if we turn
250
00:16:27,900 –> 00:16:31,900
over now.
To John Chapter 11.
251
00:16:34,100 –> 00:16:37,400
Now, this is about the Lord
Jesus, and not God, but I just,
252
00:16:37,900 –> 00:16:40,400
I had to put this in because I
think it’s so good.
253
00:16:41,400 –> 00:16:44,400
John 11, do you remember the
shortest verse in the Bible?
254
00:16:45,100 –> 00:16:46,900
This is the one that, you know,
in Sunday school, you always
255
00:16:46,900 –> 00:16:49,400
tried to whenever you had to
memorize a verse, you go up and
256
00:16:49,400 –> 00:16:54,000
say this one.
Well, it has such a powerful
257
00:16:54,000 –> 00:16:56,900
context to it.
That I think sometimes, at least
258
00:16:56,900 –> 00:16:59,200
for me, I always thought of that
as the short verse that I tried
259
00:16:59,200 –> 00:17:02,000
to memorize.
So, you know, we miss kind of
260
00:17:02,000 –> 00:17:05,099
what’s going on here.
So if you’re at John 11, this is
261
00:17:05,099 –> 00:17:09,000
the resurrection of Lazarus.
And think about what this shows
262
00:17:09,000 –> 00:17:12,599
us about the Lord Jesus says,
John 11 and verse 5.
263
00:17:14,400 –> 00:17:16,700
John 11 and verse 5.
The Lord Jesus has now been
264
00:17:16,700 –> 00:17:20,099
confronted by Mary and Martha.
They said the one whom you love
265
00:17:20,099 –> 00:17:23,300
is sick.
They’re asking him common and
266
00:17:23,300 –> 00:17:28,200
heal Lazarus.
So in verse 5 it says here.
267
00:17:28,900 –> 00:17:33,400
Now, Jesus loved Martha and her
sister and Lazarus.
268
00:17:35,400 –> 00:17:37,400
Here’s something that’s very
interesting about the Greek.
269
00:17:37,600 –> 00:17:40,400
Now you might want to just add
this in, if you don’t have it
270
00:17:40,400 –> 00:17:44,000
already as a note but where it
says, their Jesus, loved Martha
271
00:17:44,700 –> 00:17:47,900
that word for love, it’s in
What’s called the imperfect
272
00:17:47,900 –> 00:17:51,600
tense.
So what imperfect means is it
273
00:17:51,600 –> 00:17:53,300
means that something that’s not
complete.
274
00:17:54,200 –> 00:17:58,000
So generally when you’re
translating, you would translate
275
00:17:58,000 –> 00:18:00,600
the imperfect as something
that’s continuous.
276
00:18:01,900 –> 00:18:04,600
So if I were translating this
verse, what I would have said
277
00:18:04,600 –> 00:18:10,300
was now Jesus was loving Martha
and her sister and Lazarus.
278
00:18:11,500 –> 00:18:13,900
I were thinking about the love
of God and going through these
279
00:18:13,900 –> 00:18:16,900
things for us and that’s about
what John, that’s what John’s
280
00:18:16,900 –> 00:18:19,900
about to show us.
So he says Jesus was loving
281
00:18:19,900 –> 00:18:22,300
Martha and her sister and
Lazarus and he tells us that
282
00:18:22,300 –> 00:18:26,600
because what Jesus is about to
do isn’t going to look like love
283
00:18:28,900 –> 00:18:31,100
so he says, Jesus was loving
Martha and her sister and
284
00:18:31,100 –> 00:18:39,300
Lazarus, so, He didn’t go.
So he didn’t go to heal Lazarus.
285
00:18:40,400 –> 00:18:44,500
In fact, he waited two days.
And so we’re supposed to read
286
00:18:44,500 –> 00:18:47,700
all of this, in light of Jesus
demonstrating his love.
287
00:18:49,300 –> 00:18:52,500
And so, if you were to read this
and think, wow, that’s callous
288
00:18:52,700 –> 00:18:55,200
and his friend needed him, he
was dying.
289
00:18:58,200 –> 00:19:02,500
John again, presents.
How Jesus felt about this?
290
00:19:03,800 –> 00:19:05,300
So now we’ll come to our
shortest verse.
291
00:19:06,800 –> 00:19:12,600
Look at verse 32, John 11 32 it
says now, when Mary came to
292
00:19:12,600 –> 00:19:15,500
where Jesus was and saw him, she
fell at his feet saying to him,
293
00:19:16,400 –> 00:19:22,600
Lord, if you had been here, my
brother would not have died.
294
00:19:25,100 –> 00:19:28,300
When Jesus saw her weeping and
the Jews who had come with her
295
00:19:28,300 –> 00:19:32,800
also weeping, he was deeply
moved in his spirit and greatly
296
00:19:32,800 –> 00:19:35,800
troubled.
Isn’t that beautiful?
297
00:19:36,800 –> 00:19:42,900
He sees that and it specifically
says when he saw her weeping He
298
00:19:42,900 –> 00:19:46,400
loves her.
And he knew that this was what
299
00:19:46,400 –> 00:19:48,200
he had to do because of that
love.
300
00:19:49,300 –> 00:19:52,600
And so verse 34, he said to him,
where have you laid him?
301
00:19:52,900 –> 00:19:55,400
They said to him, Lord come and
see Jesus.
302
00:19:56,600 –> 00:20:00,300
Wept.
This is not just the shortest
303
00:20:00,300 –> 00:20:04,700
verse in the Bible.
This is the picture.
304
00:20:05,900 –> 00:20:11,800
Of how the Lord feels our pain.
This is the picture of Jesus was
305
00:20:11,800 –> 00:20:14,200
loving Martha and her sister and
Lazarus.
306
00:20:14,300 –> 00:20:18,500
This is what it looks like.
So that as we ask, how could a
307
00:20:18,508 –> 00:20:27,800
loving God tempt us, that we
realize, oh, he’s suffering too.
308
00:20:30,100 –> 00:20:33,700
He’s actually going through
suffering because he’s a loving.
309
00:20:33,700 –> 00:20:38,800
God.
He loves me enough to suffer.
310
00:20:40,000 –> 00:20:46,800
For my growth.
So then that creates the final
311
00:20:46,800 –> 00:20:53,200
question.
If we recognize that God is
312
00:20:53,200 –> 00:20:57,500
loving and God’s love is
demonstrated in him suffering
313
00:20:57,500 –> 00:21:01,500
with us, shouldn’t we just pray,
please leave me into testing
314
00:21:01,900 –> 00:21:04,300
because I know that through this
testing, I’m going to grow.
315
00:21:05,100 –> 00:21:07,700
I’m going to get better, I’ll be
stronger.
316
00:21:10,000 –> 00:21:12,000
Now, I mean, maybe that’s the
ideal.
317
00:21:14,700 –> 00:21:18,500
But let’s go over to Luke 22.
This is a the last chapter that
318
00:21:18,500 –> 00:21:22,300
will be in because I think in
Luke 22, we see a bit of a case
319
00:21:22,300 –> 00:21:27,000
study of what it looks like when
we have that attitude.
320
00:21:28,100 –> 00:21:31,300
That attitude of, you know,
Bring it on, I want it.
321
00:21:32,000 –> 00:21:35,900
Whatever It Takes, I’m gonna,
I’m gonna get better, I’m going
322
00:21:35,900 –> 00:21:40,900
to grow from this.
There’s 22 is the story of The
323
00:21:40,900 –> 00:21:44,400
Last Supper, I want to.
I want to set it up for us a
324
00:21:44,400 –> 00:21:47,100
little bit so that we can have a
bit of a picture as to.
325
00:21:47,500 –> 00:21:51,400
I think what Luke was trying to
get us to see in this event.
326
00:21:52,800 –> 00:21:57,600
Do you remember how the location
of the last supper was found?
327
00:21:59,200 –> 00:22:02,100
It’s Kind of a Funny Story and
Jesus came to Peter and John and
328
00:22:02,100 –> 00:22:04,900
said, I want you to go find the
room and they said, okay, how
329
00:22:04,900 –> 00:22:08,000
how will we know?
And Jesus said, well you’re
330
00:22:08,000 –> 00:22:09,800
going to look for something.
You remember, what it was?
331
00:22:10,800 –> 00:22:16,000
You’re going to look for a man
carrying a pitcher of water on
332
00:22:16,008 –> 00:22:18,500
his head and you’ll follow him
around.
333
00:22:18,600 –> 00:22:21,100
Have you ever wondered?
You know what is going on there?
334
00:22:21,900 –> 00:22:24,300
Like couldn’t Jesus have said oh
you’re gonna go down that
335
00:22:24,300 –> 00:22:26,600
street, you’ll turn right?
And then left and there it is
336
00:22:27,100 –> 00:22:29,100
like Do you ever give
directions?
337
00:22:29,100 –> 00:22:31,100
That way, just wait at the
intersection.
338
00:22:31,100 –> 00:22:33,600
So you see the green car go by
with one broken taillight and
339
00:22:33,600 –> 00:22:36,700
then follow it right?
Like that doesn’t make any
340
00:22:36,700 –> 00:22:39,100
sense.
What was Jesus doing?
341
00:22:40,300 –> 00:22:42,900
I think number one, you know, it
wasn’t a normal thing.
342
00:22:43,100 –> 00:22:45,600
Generally for men to carry
water, you know, throughout
343
00:22:45,600 –> 00:22:47,800
scripture.
It’s typically the women that
344
00:22:47,800 –> 00:22:50,700
are carrying water that you see.
So, that was kind of an unusual
345
00:22:50,700 –> 00:22:52,700
thing, so it would have been a
little bit of a, you know,
346
00:22:52,700 –> 00:22:55,100
saying like look for the car
with flames on the side or
347
00:22:55,100 –> 00:22:59,400
something like that.
But But I think at the same
348
00:22:59,400 –> 00:23:01,700
time, it was here’s somebody
who’s willing to do something
349
00:23:01,700 –> 00:23:03,800
that they probably don’t
normally do.
350
00:23:06,600 –> 00:23:11,700
He tells that to Peter and John
now out of all the disciples, I
351
00:23:11,700 –> 00:23:14,100
think if you were going to have
an argument as to, which
352
00:23:14,100 –> 00:23:17,600
disciple was the greatest, it
could have been between the two
353
00:23:17,600 –> 00:23:20,200
of them.
You might be thinking hey that’s
354
00:23:20,200 –> 00:23:21,700
a little bit of, you know,
inference there.
355
00:23:21,700 –> 00:23:24,800
But do you remember at the end
of the Gospel of John, where
356
00:23:24,800 –> 00:23:28,300
Jesus says to Peter, when you’re
old?
357
00:23:29,800 –> 00:23:33,200
They will take you to where you
don’t want to go and he said
358
00:23:33,200 –> 00:23:35,300
this signifying the way that
Peter was going to die.
359
00:23:35,900 –> 00:23:37,500
Do you remember what Peter says
after that?
360
00:23:38,500 –> 00:23:41,200
It says Peter turned around and
looked at the disciple whom
361
00:23:41,200 –> 00:23:44,600
Jesus.
Loved probably John and he says
362
00:23:44,800 –> 00:23:47,400
Lord.
What will happen to him?
363
00:23:48,600 –> 00:23:51,500
You can almost see, there’s this
this like rivalry of what you
364
00:23:51,500 –> 00:23:52,900
said, that’s what this is, how
I’m gonna die.
365
00:23:52,900 –> 00:23:57,800
What about him?
and Jesus says, if I want him to
366
00:23:57,800 –> 00:23:59,600
live till I come, what’s that to
you?
367
00:24:02,400 –> 00:24:05,800
And so, Jesus stops the Rivalry.
But I like to think he sent
368
00:24:05,800 –> 00:24:07,600
Peter and John here because
these were the two.
369
00:24:07,700 –> 00:24:10,700
These are like the two disciples
who would have said, you know?
370
00:24:11,500 –> 00:24:14,800
Oh well, he chose me obviously.
I don’t know why he chose you,
371
00:24:15,100 –> 00:24:18,500
you know, it could have been
this rivalry as they went.
372
00:24:18,500 –> 00:24:20,000
And he says you know who what
you’re going to do?
373
00:24:20,000 –> 00:24:22,100
You’re going to follow A man
carrying a pitcher of water.
374
00:24:22,500 –> 00:24:24,500
This is first hint.
Number one, this is going to be
375
00:24:24,508 –> 00:24:27,800
about humility.
Now, the other thing that’s
376
00:24:27,800 –> 00:24:29,800
interesting about it is they
follow him to the place of the
377
00:24:29,800 –> 00:24:33,800
last supper.
Now, presumably as they got
378
00:24:33,800 –> 00:24:35,600
there.
The man would have taken this
379
00:24:35,600 –> 00:24:37,200
pot off his head.
I don’t think he was carrying it
380
00:24:37,200 –> 00:24:39,000
around all day.
He would have taken it off of
381
00:24:39,000 –> 00:24:42,100
his head and he probably would
have put it down at this place.
382
00:24:44,000 –> 00:24:49,100
and so, Peter and John knew
where there was a pot of water.
383
00:24:49,400 –> 00:24:50,700
You might think?
Okay.
384
00:24:51,200 –> 00:24:53,600
Why is that matter?
Do you remember the first thing
385
00:24:53,600 –> 00:24:59,500
that happens at the Last Supper
everyone comes in and they’re
386
00:24:59,500 –> 00:25:03,900
all waiting.
Because when you went into a
387
00:25:03,908 –> 00:25:06,800
room after coming from outside,
you remember, what was supposed
388
00:25:06,800 –> 00:25:10,200
to happen?
You were supposed to have your
389
00:25:10,200 –> 00:25:12,500
feet washed.
So everyone sitting there
390
00:25:12,500 –> 00:25:15,900
wondering who’s gonna do this,
there’s no servant here.
391
00:25:15,900 –> 00:25:18,400
So one of us has to, and
everyone’s looking around and
392
00:25:18,400 –> 00:25:20,100
you can imagine imagine Peters
thinking.
393
00:25:20,100 –> 00:25:22,000
Well, haha, I’m not going to
write.
394
00:25:22,000 –> 00:25:25,900
I am the greatest disciple or
John thinking the same kind of
395
00:25:25,908 –> 00:25:27,300
thing.
I’m not going to and yet there
396
00:25:27,300 –> 00:25:30,400
were two disciples who knew
where there was a pitcher of
397
00:25:30,400 –> 00:25:34,900
water.
Because those were the disciples
398
00:25:34,900 –> 00:25:37,800
that needed.
To Humble themselves.
399
00:25:39,600 –> 00:25:45,200
And start washing those feet.
And so the Lord does it instead,
400
00:25:46,000 –> 00:25:48,600
and you remember the rack, the
reaction that he gets from Peter
401
00:25:49,100 –> 00:25:51,900
Lord, you will never wash my
feet, right?
402
00:25:51,900 –> 00:25:54,700
This is this is not how we’re
going to and, and you get that
403
00:25:54,900 –> 00:25:57,900
that sense of Pride.
Again, this is not how we’re
404
00:25:57,900 –> 00:25:59,900
going to do it.
I’m going to explain it to you.
405
00:26:00,000 –> 00:26:01,400
You can’t humble yourself like
that.
406
00:26:01,500 –> 00:26:07,700
Not okay.
But Peters going to be taught.
407
00:26:08,700 –> 00:26:11,300
What lead us?
Not into temptation, really
408
00:26:11,300 –> 00:26:14,100
means.
And so here we are in Luke 22
409
00:26:15,200 –> 00:26:17,500
and they’ve just had this
dispute after Jesus, washed
410
00:26:17,500 –> 00:26:20,100
their feet, right?
Everything about this night is
411
00:26:20,100 –> 00:26:23,500
trying to get them to realize.
You are not the greatest.
412
00:26:25,200 –> 00:26:30,600
Recognize who you really are
recognize your weakness.
413
00:26:31,100 –> 00:26:33,400
And so they have a dispute in
verse 24 about who is the
414
00:26:33,408 –> 00:26:35,600
greatest.
You know, I think it probably
415
00:26:35,600 –> 00:26:39,400
had to do with this foot washing
thing of you a Jesus do it.
416
00:26:39,900 –> 00:26:41,800
You know, you should have done
it here.
417
00:26:41,800 –> 00:26:43,900
Only mentioned once in the
gospels.
418
00:26:44,100 –> 00:26:45,400
No, not like that.
Just kidding.
419
00:26:45,900 –> 00:26:49,600
I don’t think they would have
said, obviously the gospels were
420
00:26:49,600 –> 00:26:53,000
written by that point, but it I
think you can get kind of the
421
00:26:53,000 –> 00:26:56,800
idea of what was going on.
Ugliness that comes out when
422
00:26:57,000 –> 00:26:59,700
when we start to compare
ourselves with each other, and
423
00:26:59,700 –> 00:27:02,800
so, it’s interesting.
Then is after this notice what
424
00:27:02,800 –> 00:27:07,100
Jesus says, Jesus turned to
them, and he says to them in
425
00:27:07,100 –> 00:27:12,100
verse 28, you are those who have
stayed with me in my trials.
426
00:27:12,600 –> 00:27:16,000
So he’s talking about
Temptations, your there through
427
00:27:16,000 –> 00:27:21,700
my tests.
So he opens up this temptation
428
00:27:21,700 –> 00:27:25,800
context now, notice who?
He then turns, to next verse 31.
429
00:27:25,800 –> 00:27:27,900
He turns to Peter.
And he says, Simon.
430
00:27:27,900 –> 00:27:31,300
Simon behold Satan demanded to
have you that he might sift.
431
00:27:31,300 –> 00:27:34,100
You like wheat?
But I have prayed for you that
432
00:27:34,100 –> 00:27:38,200
your faith may not fail.
So he’s talking about
433
00:27:38,200 –> 00:27:41,600
Temptations and he says, you are
with me, I needed help in these
434
00:27:42,100 –> 00:27:45,900
and he turns to Peter and he
says And you’re going to be
435
00:27:45,900 –> 00:27:50,900
tempted.
And I’m praying for you that
436
00:27:50,900 –> 00:27:52,700
your Temptation won’t be too
hard.
437
00:27:52,700 –> 00:27:57,900
Now if Peter had been praying
The Lord’s Prayer, I think
438
00:27:57,900 –> 00:28:00,900
hearing about the Lord’s
Temptations, hearing, you’re
439
00:28:00,900 –> 00:28:02,600
going to have some Temptations
in, they’re going to be bad.
440
00:28:02,600 –> 00:28:05,700
But I prayed, I think all of
those things should have brought
441
00:28:05,700 –> 00:28:08,300
back to his mind.
Lead us, not into temptation,
442
00:28:08,300 –> 00:28:11,500
lead us, not into temptation,
you might think maybe.
443
00:28:12,500 –> 00:28:15,200
But I think that’s what Christ
was trying to get into prey to
444
00:28:15,200 –> 00:28:18,600
realize things are hard and
you’re going to need help.
445
00:28:20,900 –> 00:28:24,600
Now, if that seems like a
stretch, Christ actually.
446
00:28:25,600 –> 00:28:29,800
Tells that to him a few verses
later so I think he’s setting
447
00:28:29,800 –> 00:28:33,100
all of this up.
Because look, now verse 39.
448
00:28:33,700 –> 00:28:36,800
So he’s told us to Peter, you
need to be praying that your
449
00:28:36,800 –> 00:28:40,600
Temptations aren’t too hard.
And so in verse 39 it says he
450
00:28:40,600 –> 00:28:43,400
came out and went as it was his
custom to the Mount of Olives
451
00:28:43,600 –> 00:28:46,300
and his disciples followed him.
And when he came to the place he
452
00:28:46,300 –> 00:28:48,000
said to them.
Do you see it?
453
00:28:48,600 –> 00:28:51,200
Pray that you may not enter into
temptation?
454
00:28:51,300 –> 00:28:54,800
This is The Lord’s Prayer.
This is the ending almost
455
00:28:54,800 –> 00:28:59,000
word-for-word pray that you
enter not into temptation.
456
00:29:01,100 –> 00:29:03,300
Now, if you read through the
record and you actually compare
457
00:29:03,300 –> 00:29:06,100
the gospels, but you find out is
that Jesus?
458
00:29:06,200 –> 00:29:10,400
He leaves, and he comes back, he
leaves, he comes back, he
459
00:29:10,400 –> 00:29:12,700
leaves, he comes back.
He does this three times and
460
00:29:12,700 –> 00:29:14,500
every time, do you know what?
He says to them.
461
00:29:16,400 –> 00:29:21,400
Pray that you enter not into
temptation and you know, it’s
462
00:29:21,400 –> 00:29:25,400
fascinating.
Is, that’s what he does.
463
00:29:26,100 –> 00:29:29,200
That’s what Jesus does.
He tells them pray that ye enter
464
00:29:29,200 –> 00:29:31,800
not into temptation and then he
leaves and do you remember what
465
00:29:31,800 –> 00:29:37,200
he says?
Father, if you are willing Let
466
00:29:37,200 –> 00:29:41,800
this cup pass from me.
He says, take me out of this
467
00:29:41,800 –> 00:29:44,300
one.
Give me a different way.
468
00:29:48,100 –> 00:29:51,100
He prays that he won’t be led
into temptation.
469
00:29:52,000 –> 00:29:55,300
And so I think what we see going
on here is what this phrase
470
00:29:55,300 –> 00:29:57,400
really means.
It doesn’t mean a.
471
00:29:57,600 –> 00:29:59,300
I hope that nothing bad ever
happens to me.
472
00:30:00,700 –> 00:30:03,600
But it also doesn’t mean a yeah,
bring it on because I want to
473
00:30:03,600 –> 00:30:09,400
get better.
It means a recognition of Lord.
474
00:30:11,400 –> 00:30:17,800
This is going to be hard.
And if there’s another way, I’d
475
00:30:17,800 –> 00:30:27,200
love that other way. but, I know
that you’re the father who loves
476
00:30:27,200 –> 00:30:29,900
me.
And who suffers with me?
477
00:30:31,300 –> 00:30:36,100
Therefore not my will but yours
be done.
478
00:30:37,800 –> 00:30:40,800
Which by the way, is another
quotation from The Lord’s
479
00:30:40,800 –> 00:30:45,100
Prayer?
Your will be done on Earth as it
480
00:30:45,100 –> 00:30:48,600
is in heaven.
And so you can see all of this
481
00:30:48,600 –> 00:30:51,100
being brought together that I
think what Christ was trying to
482
00:30:51,100 –> 00:30:53,600
get Peter to see was in fact
what he said.
483
00:30:54,400 –> 00:30:57,200
The very next time he returned
he says pray that ye enter not
484
00:30:57,200 –> 00:30:59,700
into temptation pray that you
enter not into temptation and
485
00:30:59,700 –> 00:31:03,000
then he says he comes back and
he sees them sleeping and you
486
00:31:03,000 –> 00:31:08,300
remember what he says to the
disciples The spirit is willing.
487
00:31:09,900 –> 00:31:13,500
But the flesh is weak.
I know you want it.
488
00:31:14,400 –> 00:31:16,100
I know you got the right
attitude.
489
00:31:16,100 –> 00:31:17,900
I know you think you can handle
it Peter.
490
00:31:20,900 –> 00:31:24,000
But you can’t and you have to
realize that God will give you
491
00:31:24,000 –> 00:31:28,800
what you can handle.
He’s the loving father and so as
492
00:31:28,800 –> 00:31:32,700
we come and we think about what
it means to pray that we enter
493
00:31:32,700 –> 00:31:41,100
not into temptation.
We see ultimately how Christ
494
00:31:41,100 –> 00:31:45,300
live that out.
He went into the temptation.
495
00:31:48,700 –> 00:31:50,700
But he prayed that God wouldn’t
lead him into it.
496
00:31:52,400 –> 00:31:56,000
And so for us, it’s an
acknowledgement that God is
497
00:31:56,000 –> 00:31:59,600
there.
That God is in control, that God
498
00:31:59,600 –> 00:32:04,800
knows our pain because he’s
feeling it too. and that when we
499
00:32:04,800 –> 00:32:12,000
are violent into temptation, he
brings that to us because that
500
00:32:13,200 –> 00:32:32,900
is the one that we need.
