\n00:00:13,880 –> 00:00:15,600
\nWelcome to Good Chris Selfie and
\ntalks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:15,600 –> 00:00:18,240
\nI’m Levi.
\nAnd I’m Chris, and I’m Brian. <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:18,560 –> 00:00:19,760
\nThank you for joining us this
\nweek. <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:20,360 –> 00:00:24,120
\nOn this podcast, we select one
\ntalk a week to help us get the <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:24,120 –> 00:00:27,720
\nBible in our Daily News feed.
\nWe post a new episode at the <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:27,720 –> 00:00:30,600
\nstart of each week with the
\nshort intro beforehand to kind <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:30,600 –> 00:00:32,759
\nof set the stage for the talk
\nyou’re about to listen to. <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:33,400 –> 00:00:36,240
\nAnd now, let’s talk more about
\nthis week’s talk. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:50,520 –> 00:00:53,040
\nThis week’s talk is a Sunday
\nSchool class given at the San <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:53,040 –> 00:00:57,000
\nDiego Ecclesia just last Sunday
\nMay 5th of this year. <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:57,840 –> 00:01:00,400
\nMy brother Cam Beeler.
\nI was really thankful to get <\/p>\n

12
\n00:01:00,400 –> 00:01:03,040
\nthis suggestion from a member of
\nthat Ecclesia that was in the <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:03,040 –> 00:01:08,480
\naudience and I guess to be clear
\nabout my bias I’m a huge fan of <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:08,480 –> 00:01:12,960
\nCam a friend of his we we we
\ncheck in with each other <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:13,280 –> 00:01:16,960
\nthroughout the year and so I was
\nobviously I was excited to <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:16,960 –> 00:01:19,560
\nlisten to the class and and I’m
\nexcited to share it. <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:19,560 –> 00:01:23,800
\nBut though I am fairly biased
\nbeing a just having a <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:23,800 –> 00:01:28,920
\nrelationship with Cam, but I do
\nthink it’s a very good study on <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:28,920 –> 00:01:31,400
\nkind of Matthew 25 and the
\nparable of talents. <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:31,960 –> 00:01:35,840
\nHe touches on a lot of different
\nsubjects, so it does kind of he <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:35,840 –> 00:01:39,840
\nkind of takes a couple trips
\ndown different paths. <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:40,200 –> 00:01:43,920
\nBut there is a main focus on
\nkind of our role and how we <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:43,920 –> 00:01:46,720
\nshould respond to what has been
\ngiven to us. <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:47,560 –> 00:01:50,080
\nAnd he has a kind of an
\ninterpretation of Matthew 25, <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:50,080 –> 00:01:53,920
\nwhich I hadn’t considered before
\nthat I thought was helpful. <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:54,720 –> 00:01:58,920
\nI also think Cam has a unique
\nway of talking in a a really <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:58,920 –> 00:02:01,160
\nAmerican accent.
\nI was thinking for, you know, <\/p>\n

28
\n00:02:01,160 –> 00:02:04,160
\nthe majority of our listeners
\nare not from North America. <\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:04,600 –> 00:02:07,120
\nSo I think it makes for a good
\npodcast as well. <\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:07,120 –> 00:02:10,320
\nAnd he has a lot of great kind
\nof 1 liners in here that even if<\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:10,320 –> 00:02:13,200
\nyou don’t follow kind of the
\norganization of what he’s <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:13,200 –> 00:02:18,840
\nsaying, I still think it’s a an
\neasy listen and should be a a <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:18,840 –> 00:02:22,880
\ngood, a good, good episode.
\nSo I was excited to to share it.<\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:23,640 –> 00:02:26,200
\nSo here is Cam Beeler on the
\nparable of the talents. <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:27,120 –> 00:02:29,600
\nBut I want to start with kind of
\na a thought. <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:29,600 –> 00:02:36,320
\nI want to, I want to collect
\nsome observations about our <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:36,320 –> 00:02:38,200
\nrole.
\nNow, last week I did part of <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:38,200 –> 00:02:40,880
\nthis.
\nThis is like a 5A5 series course<\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:40,880 –> 00:02:44,480
\nthat I’ve all crunchled up
\nuntil, you know, 22 Sundays. <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:44,480 –> 00:02:48,480
\nAnd it may look like that.
\nLast week we talked about God’s <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:48,480 –> 00:02:51,960
\nmaster plan.
\nAnybody want to pop off what <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:51,960 –> 00:02:58,640
\nwhat God’s master plan is from
\nthe Habakkuk verse, Earth should<\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:58,640 –> 00:03:00,560
\nbe filled with the knowledge,
\nthe glory of the Lord as the <\/p>\n

44
\n00:03:00,560 –> 00:03:04,000
\nwaters cover the sea.
\nAnd that is a very nicely <\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:04,000 –> 00:03:07,560
\nencapsulated statement that has
\na broader expression. <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:07,560 –> 00:03:10,680
\nAnd the broader expression is
\nthat what God is doing? <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:11,080 –> 00:03:14,200
\nYou know, because the glory of
\nthe Lord’s expressed in Exodus <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:14,200 –> 00:03:19,680
\n33 and 34, when when Moses asked
\nGod to reveal his way. <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:20,080 –> 00:03:23,560
\nWhat God is doing is he’s
\ndeveloping a community of people<\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:23,560 –> 00:03:25,920
\nwho will be his family, who
\noperate with each other with <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:25,920 –> 00:03:28,800
\ncompassion and graciousness,
\nslow to anger, you know, <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:28,800 –> 00:03:32,720
\npatience and abounding in love
\nwith one another, right. <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:32,880 –> 00:03:35,640
\nAnd we see that when when you
\nsee that and you elaborate on <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:35,640 –> 00:03:38,120
\nthat plan in that way and you
\nsay, well, what does that look <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:38,120 –> 00:03:40,640
\nlike, right?
\nBecause I think it’s, you know, <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:40,640 –> 00:03:43,240
\nit’s like any, any map of the
\ndestination. <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:43,240 –> 00:03:45,720
\nIf you want to get to the
\ndestination, you got to know <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:45,720 –> 00:03:50,480
\nwhat the destination is.
\nAnd God has in in little pieces <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:50,480 –> 00:03:52,840
\nand with riddles and with
\nmetaphors and with the, you <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:52,840 –> 00:03:56,520
\nknow, the history that’s been
\nlaid out is continuing to show <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:56,520 –> 00:04:04,000
\nus what it looks like both.
\nFor Kingdom expression and the <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:04,000 –> 00:04:06,600
\nbreaking of Kingdom expression,
\nright? <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:06,760 –> 00:04:09,600
\nSo that we can take any part of
\nthe Bible, any story, any <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:09,600 –> 00:04:12,480
\naccount and we can link it back
\nto what God is doing and say OK <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:12,480 –> 00:04:16,519
\nthat makes sense here, God is
\nshowing a contrast, right? <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:16,920 –> 00:04:19,279
\nThe sin in the garden is a
\ncontrast with what God is <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:19,279 –> 00:04:23,600
\ndeveloping.
\nAnd yet God didn’t uses that in <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:23,600 –> 00:04:29,840
\ndisciplining of his children to
\ndevelop the actual expression of<\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:29,840 –> 00:04:34,640
\nKingdom living, of correction,
\nof redemption back to you know <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:34,720 –> 00:04:38,200
\nwhat I would say I call
\nalignment with God’s plan. <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:38,200 –> 00:04:41,240
\nAnd today we’re going to talk
\nabout a couple of those things. <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:41,760 –> 00:04:44,400
\nBut I I like to start with that
\nvisual. <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:44,400 –> 00:04:48,680
\nWhat is the visual?
\nWell here’s one visual which I <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:48,680 –> 00:04:51,400
\nhaven’t shared yet.
\nImagine a great day. <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:51,400 –> 00:04:54,120
\nIt’s a Sunday.
\nIt’s the the the, you know, the <\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:54,240 –> 00:04:57,120
\nthe meeting was great.
\nThe the, you know the Sunday <\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:57,120 –> 00:05:00,280
\nschool was mediocre maybe, but
\nthe egg store was fantastic. <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:00,640 –> 00:05:03,480
\nAnd you you know that everybody
\ngoes home and you got the kids <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:03,480 –> 00:05:08,040
\naround the table and there’s
\nhappy chatter and the kids <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:08,040 –> 00:05:10,800
\naren’t fighting over who gets
\nthe extra chicken wing. <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:10,800 –> 00:05:13,400
\nYou know, they’re they’re all,
\nyou know, everybody is happy <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:13,400 –> 00:05:16,320
\nwith what they’re getting.
\nI just may be a fantasy world. <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:16,320 –> 00:05:19,400
\nYou’ve got lots of kids, but
\nthat’s the point, right? <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:20,000 –> 00:05:21,400
\nMom and Dad are around the
\ntable. <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:21,400 –> 00:05:23,600
\nThe kids are around the table.
\nEverybody’s laughing, <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:23,600 –> 00:05:25,680
\neverybody’s happy.
\nEverybody’s working with each <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:25,680 –> 00:05:29,640
\nother, and they’re behaving.
\nAnd it’s just a moment where <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:29,640 –> 00:05:32,200
\nyou’re like, I want to take a
\npicture in time because this is <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:32,200 –> 00:05:35,720
\nbeautiful.
\nIt’s beautiful when a family <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:35,720 –> 00:05:38,120
\nworks well together.
\nAnd that’s no accident. <\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:38,400 –> 00:05:42,840
\nWe didn’t evolve to this state
\nto appreciate the beauty of that<\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:42,840 –> 00:05:45,680
\nkind of outcome.
\nWe were given that we were <\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:45,680 –> 00:05:51,480
\nengineered to know that that’s
\nbeautiful because our father <\/p>\n

94
\n00:05:52,800 –> 00:05:55,360
\nvalues that.
\nAnd I’m not talking about the <\/p>\n

95
\n00:05:55,360 –> 00:05:59,320
\nChicken Lee, right?
\nI’m talking about the love of a <\/p>\n

96
\n00:05:59,320 –> 00:06:02,720
\nfamily for each other around the
\ntable, working together, <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:03,040 –> 00:06:09,400
\nenjoying each other’s company.
\nAnd God adds a couple of things <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:09,400 –> 00:06:12,760
\nto that, right?
\nAnd we can think when we’re <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:12,760 –> 00:06:15,120
\nyounger that, oh, these are the
\ncommands we got to follow. <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:15,120 –> 00:06:16,480
\nWe got to obey these things in
\nthis. <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:16,480 –> 00:06:22,480
\nBut what God is doing for us is
\nproviding the pieces that, when <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:22,480 –> 00:06:28,640
\napplied in our lives, help our
\nlives work, help our <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:28,640 –> 00:06:34,880
\nrelationships work right without
\nthose things, without without <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:34,880 –> 00:06:36,880
\nthe insight into what God is
\ngiving us. <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:36,880 –> 00:06:43,040
\nAnd in providing to us as
\nguidance for survival in life <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:43,040 –> 00:06:47,960
\nand in the right way, we just
\nbecome animals, fighting for our<\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:47,960 –> 00:06:50,480
\nown interests.
\nAnd that has a completely <\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:50,480 –> 00:06:54,240
\ndifferent reality, right?
\nSo I love the picture of a <\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:54,240 –> 00:06:58,600
\nfamily around the table.
\nI mean it’s it’s also why we <\/p>\n

110
\n00:06:59,120 –> 00:07:01,080
\nJesus.
\nThis is not in my notes, but <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:01,080 –> 00:07:06,480
\nJesus is talking at one time.
\nHe’s at dinner with a a Pharisee<\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:06,480 –> 00:07:10,120
\nwho’s invited him in, right?
\nAnd they’re all there. <\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:10,120 –> 00:07:13,720
\nAnd Jesus tells him you would
\nreceive extra blessing if you <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:13,720 –> 00:07:17,160
\nwould invite other people,
\npeople who couldn’t pay you back<\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:19,080 –> 00:07:22,920
\naround the table, right?
\nBut here’s an interesting thing.<\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:23,120 –> 00:07:29,160
\nWho’s around the table?
\nOur family, Our friends, right? <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:29,400 –> 00:07:35,280
\nAnd Jesus is like, widen the
\nNets, invite more than just <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:35,280 –> 00:07:38,120
\npeople who will return the favor
\nto you, right? <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:38,120 –> 00:07:40,840
\nExtend your blessing and you
\nwill be blessed for it. <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:41,360 –> 00:07:44,440
\nAnd and this is kind of what
\nwe’re being told is the Kingdom <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:44,440 –> 00:07:49,920
\nof God is not my family.
\nMy family’s bigger than my <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:49,920 –> 00:07:54,760
\nchildren, right?
\nMy ecclesia by definition is my <\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:54,760 –> 00:07:56,800
\nfamily.
\nThere are people I don’t even <\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:56,800 –> 00:07:59,680
\nknow yet that will be part of
\nour ecclesia tomorrow and some <\/p>\n

125
\n00:07:59,680 –> 00:08:03,760
\nof them will be because we
\nbroaden the net. <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:04,640 –> 00:08:07,120
\nWe don’t know who our family is
\nyet. <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:07,120 –> 00:08:10,560
\nIt isn’t finished.
\nAnd often times what was <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:10,560 –> 00:08:13,640
\nhappening with the Pharisees and
\nJesus was commenting to this is <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:13,640 –> 00:08:18,120
\nyou’ve self constrained.
\nYour blessings will abound if <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:18,120 –> 00:08:21,880
\nyou’ll broaden the net, extend
\nit to people who can’t return <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:21,880 –> 00:08:25,080
\nthe blessing to you.
\nAnd I find it actually beautiful<\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:25,080 –> 00:08:28,360
\nbecause the next conversation is
\nnow there’s a crowd of people in<\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:28,360 –> 00:08:31,320
\nthe room with them as they’re
\nhaving the conversation and he’s<\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:31,320 –> 00:08:33,799
\nstill at dinner.
\nSo apparently the Pharisee was <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:33,799 –> 00:08:41,880
\nlike, that’s a good idea, but I
\nlove that visual. <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:41,880 –> 00:08:45,840
\nThe one of the things I find for
\nme and I find that things that <\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:45,840 –> 00:08:50,080
\nare true for me are often true
\nfor other people, is that I tend<\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:50,080 –> 00:08:54,440
\nto over complicate things.
\nI tend to see, I mean I I I see <\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:54,440 –> 00:08:57,120
\nthe spider web of scripture,
\nthings that all connect and then<\/p>\n

140
\n00:08:57,120 –> 00:08:58,880
\nI’m like, well how do I clarify
\nthat? <\/p>\n

141
\n00:08:59,360 –> 00:09:01,840
\nAnd then I live in that kind of
\ncomplexity sometimes. <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:02,160 –> 00:09:04,840
\nAnd then every now and again
\nthere’s a vision of simplicity. <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:06,360 –> 00:09:09,000
\nWhat God is inviting us to do
\nand ask us to do is not <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:09,000 –> 00:09:12,800
\ncomplicated.
\nThere can be difficulties, there<\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:12,800 –> 00:09:16,480
\ncan be complications.
\nBut but the core of what He’s <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:16,480 –> 00:09:18,640
\ninviting us to do is not
\ncomplicated. <\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:19,360 –> 00:09:25,120
\nDeveloping A broader family from
\nthe people that he is calling <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:25,880 –> 00:09:28,880
\nright to operate in a way that
\nis beautiful. <\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:30,360 –> 00:09:33,960
\nNow on an individual basis, we
\ncan be called a specific things <\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:33,960 –> 00:09:37,680
\nthat are difficult.
\nJesus isn’t the only person <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:37,680 –> 00:09:43,840
\nwho’s had a difficult ministry,
\nbut he’s he’s probably the one <\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:43,840 –> 00:09:45,680
\nwith the most difficult
\nministry. <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:46,080 –> 00:09:48,800
\nWould you agree?
\nRight. <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:48,840 –> 00:09:50,240
\nOK, good.
\nI like to see this. <\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:50,680 –> 00:09:51,960
\nAnd if you don’t agree, that’s
\nfine. <\/p>\n

156
\n00:09:51,960 –> 00:09:54,280
\nCome talk to me later, ’cause
\nyou probably know something I <\/p>\n

157
\n00:09:54,280 –> 00:09:57,920
\ndon’t know.
\nYou know, and and everybody <\/p>\n

158
\n00:09:57,920 –> 00:09:59,920
\nknows something.
\nI don’t know many things. <\/p>\n

159
\n00:10:00,840 –> 00:10:02,840
\nSo I get to learn all the time.
\nAnd that’s awesome. <\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:04,920 –> 00:10:07,160
\nSo now I’m going to bring this
\naround and I want to bring this <\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:07,160 –> 00:10:09,560
\naround a little bit different,
\nbut it but it’s going to feed in<\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:09,560 –> 00:10:11,640
\ntoday.
\nWe’re going to talk about given <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:11,640 –> 00:10:16,280
\nenough time, Matthew 25, there’s
\na parable and I find the parable<\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:16,280 –> 00:10:19,800
\nis very instructive and it’s the
\nparable of the talent. <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:19,800 –> 00:10:21,280
\nSo we’re going to talk about
\nthat. <\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:22,320 –> 00:10:26,080
\nI’m going to talk about our
\nroles, and specifically I’m <\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:26,080 –> 00:10:29,800
\ngoing to talk about the roles
\nthat we’re called into now this.<\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:30,160 –> 00:10:33,360
\nNow we could talk about the
\ndifferent kind of role that each<\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:33,360 –> 00:10:34,760
\nperson had.
\nI think we touched on that a <\/p>\n

170
\n00:10:34,760 –> 00:10:38,200
\nlittle last week, and I may
\ntouch on that again. <\/p>\n

171
\n00:10:38,200 –> 00:10:42,760
\nBut I want to talk about the
\nhats that God has labeled for <\/p>\n

172
\n00:10:42,760 –> 00:10:47,800
\nus, the roles that God has
\ncalled us into as believers. <\/p>\n

173
\n00:10:49,160 –> 00:10:54,320
\nAnd we’re going to think about
\nelevating our notion of our <\/p>\n

174
\n00:10:56,040 –> 00:11:00,440
\nprivilege in the Lord.
\nNow that’s a loaded word these <\/p>\n

175
\n00:11:00,440 –> 00:11:02,960
\ndays.
\nI don’t mean it necessarily in <\/p>\n

176
\n00:11:02,960 –> 00:11:05,640
\nloaded fashion, although there’s
\nsome truth to that. <\/p>\n

177
\n00:11:06,840 –> 00:11:09,280
\nAnd then we’re going to go from
\nthere and talk about Sabbath. <\/p>\n

178
\n00:11:10,520 –> 00:11:14,600
\nSo I know it sounds like a lot
\nour privileged Sabbath and <\/p>\n

179
\n00:11:14,600 –> 00:11:16,600
\nMatthew 25 parable of the
\ntalents. <\/p>\n

180
\n00:11:16,720 –> 00:11:19,200
\nHopefully we’ll get past the
\nfirst part. <\/p>\n

181
\n00:11:19,440 –> 00:11:23,320
\nSometimes I struggle to get
\nthrough lots of content. <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:23,320 –> 00:11:26,640
\nOK, so here we are.
\nNow I want to do this. <\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:26,720 –> 00:11:28,560
\nI’m going to do this all day
\nbecause these things drive me <\/p>\n

184
\n00:11:28,560 –> 00:11:30,120
\nnuts and I can’t see with
\nanyway. <\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:31,800 –> 00:11:36,200
\nThink about whether these things
\nare something that resonate with<\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:36,200 –> 00:11:43,360
\nyou and do actually come out of
\nthe scripture for each of you. <\/p>\n

187
\n00:11:43,360 –> 00:11:46,400
\nYou are all servants of the
\nMaster. <\/p>\n

188
\n00:11:48,160 –> 00:11:50,000
\nThink to yourself, is that true
\nor not? <\/p>\n

189
\n00:11:53,320 –> 00:11:59,080
\nWe desire to all be friends of
\nthe Son, the friends of Jesus. <\/p>\n

190
\n00:12:00,000 –> 00:12:02,800
\nAnd if we’re friends of Jesus,
\nthat makes us friends of God. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:04,520 –> 00:12:07,880
\nWe’re called to be ambassadors
\nof the ministry of <\/p>\n

192
\n00:12:07,880 –> 00:12:16,480
\nreconciliation, Ambassadors of
\nJesus. 2nd Corinthians 5 And <\/p>\n

193
\n00:12:16,480 –> 00:12:19,840
\nthat says that if you’re
\nambassadors of Jesus, that <\/p>\n

194
\n00:12:19,840 –> 00:12:23,280
\nyou’re that the God has called
\nus to be the very righteousness <\/p>\n

195
\n00:12:23,280 –> 00:12:25,040
\nof God.
\nThat’s what he says. <\/p>\n

196
\n00:12:26,600 –> 00:12:32,720
\nThe scriptures say we’re sons
\nand daughters, and it calls us <\/p>\n

197
\n00:12:32,720 –> 00:12:36,680
\nalso the children.
\nIt says that we are the very <\/p>\n

198
\n00:12:36,680 –> 00:12:44,400
\npeople of God because he called
\nus, we are holy and we’re told <\/p>\n

199
\n00:12:44,400 –> 00:12:46,800
\nthat as he is holy, so we should
\nbe holy. <\/p>\n

200
\n00:12:46,800 –> 00:12:50,640
\nIn another verse it says as he
\nis perfect, so we should be <\/p>\n

201
\n00:12:50,640 –> 00:12:54,920
\nperfect.
\nI mean, think about that kind of<\/p>\n

202
\n00:12:54,920 –> 00:12:58,240
\ninstruction when you get up in
\nthe morning, are you thinking, <\/p>\n

203
\n00:12:58,520 –> 00:13:03,920
\nOK, today’s my day for
\nperfection and I don’t. <\/p>\n

204
\n00:13:05,200 –> 00:13:11,400
\nAnd yet here it is.
\nI said, children of God, do you <\/p>\n

205
\n00:13:11,400 –> 00:13:17,920
\nthink of yourself as royalty?
\nI mean, the full implication of <\/p>\n

206
\n00:13:17,920 –> 00:13:24,960
\nbeing children of God.
\nOK, so is God a king? <\/p>\n

207
\n00:13:27,280 –> 00:13:28,880
\nI mean, I didn’t even say it,
\nright. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:13:29,800 –> 00:13:36,120
\nWhat did I miss?
\nYeah, the word a God isn’t a <\/p>\n

209
\n00:13:36,200 –> 00:13:43,960
\nking, right?
\nGod is the king, the king, and <\/p>\n

210
\n00:13:43,960 –> 00:13:46,600
\nthe scriptures say it in time
\nand Time and Time. <\/p>\n

211
\n00:13:47,000 –> 00:13:55,160
\nThe Lord of Lords Adonai, the
\nKing of Kings, Malek, right? <\/p>\n

212
\n00:13:55,840 –> 00:14:00,920
\nHe’s above all others, and yet
\nwe’re called his children. <\/p>\n

213
\n00:14:02,160 –> 00:14:07,200
\nAnd what is a child of the king?
\nCommon or royal? <\/p>\n

214
\n00:14:08,920 –> 00:14:11,520
\nOK, that I’ve got.
\nI’ve got really loud voices <\/p>\n

215
\n00:14:11,520 –> 00:14:13,520
\nright here.
\nI love the loud voices, but I <\/p>\n

216
\n00:14:13,520 –> 00:14:18,440
\nexpect more Common or royal?
\nRoyal. <\/p>\n

217
\n00:14:18,440 –> 00:14:21,040
\nDo you wake up in the morning
\nthinking I’m royalty? <\/p>\n

218
\n00:14:22,280 –> 00:14:24,080
\nI don’t mean from the
\nentitlement standpoint. <\/p>\n

219
\n00:14:24,080 –> 00:14:26,360
\nJesus made the comment to the
\napostles, right? <\/p>\n

220
\n00:14:26,880 –> 00:14:29,480
\nThe Gentiles Lord it over each
\nother. <\/p>\n

221
\n00:14:30,520 –> 00:14:35,200
\nI’m going to demonstrate an
\nexample for you as your master. <\/p>\n

222
\n00:14:35,200 –> 00:14:38,760
\nI will be your.
\nI will demonstrate service and <\/p>\n

223
\n00:14:38,760 –> 00:14:44,720
\nif I’m going to serve you and
\nI’m your master, common or <\/p>\n

224
\n00:14:44,720 –> 00:14:52,720
\nroyal.
\nNow Jesus was a man, was a <\/p>\n

225
\n00:14:52,720 –> 00:14:55,640
\nperson, just like you and I are
\ndealt with the same struggles, <\/p>\n

226
\n00:14:55,640 –> 00:14:59,240
\nthe same hardships, all of these
\nthings, the same temptations. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:14:59,240 –> 00:15:04,120
\nAnd yet was without sin.
\nOK, feel free to volunteer, <\/p>\n

228
\n00:15:04,240 –> 00:15:06,840
\nespecially if I leave that semi
\npregnant pause. <\/p>\n

229
\n00:15:07,120 –> 00:15:16,160
\nHe was without sin, OK?
\nAnd God raised Jesus gave him <\/p>\n

230
\n00:15:16,160 –> 00:15:18,840
\nthe name above all other names.
\nWhat name is above all other <\/p>\n

231
\n00:15:18,840 –> 00:15:23,920
\nnames?
\nNope, Nope. <\/p>\n

232
\n00:15:24,680 –> 00:15:27,320
\nThank you for doing that though.
\nThat’s a great lead in That’s <\/p>\n

233
\n00:15:27,320 –> 00:15:29,640
\nexactly how we think, right?
\nWe read that we know. <\/p>\n

234
\n00:15:29,640 –> 00:15:32,000
\nWe call him Jesus.
\nWe see that Jesus was given the <\/p>\n

235
\n00:15:32,000 –> 00:15:36,280
\nname above all other names.
\nJesus’s name was Yeshua, right? <\/p>\n

236
\n00:15:36,440 –> 00:15:38,920
\nThat doesn’t change anything.
\nThat was what he was called in <\/p>\n

237
\n00:15:38,920 –> 00:15:42,000
\nhis day.
\nHe was raised and given a new <\/p>\n

238
\n00:15:42,000 –> 00:15:45,560
\nname.
\nSo I presume that the new name <\/p>\n

239
\n00:15:45,560 –> 00:15:50,120
\nhe was given was not Yeshua.
\nHe was given a new name. <\/p>\n

240
\n00:15:50,120 –> 00:15:53,080
\nHe was given the name that is
\nabove all other names. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:15:53,560 –> 00:15:59,200
\nThe clue for this would be in
\nJeremiah 23 says there will be <\/p>\n

242
\n00:15:59,200 –> 00:16:03,200
\none who will be taken out of the
\nbranch of David, right? <\/p>\n

243
\n00:16:03,200 –> 00:16:07,840
\nHe will redeem his people and he
\nshall be called and in English <\/p>\n

244
\n00:16:07,840 –> 00:16:12,440
\nit says the Lord my
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n

245
\n00:16:12,760 –> 00:16:16,280
\nNow interestingly enough, if you
\nback into the Hebrew it doesn’t <\/p>\n

246
\n00:16:16,280 –> 00:16:21,960
\nsay Lord, it isn’t that an I.
\nIt’s Yahweh, it says, and his <\/p>\n

247
\n00:16:21,960 –> 00:16:24,640
\nname shall be called Yahweh.
\nZadiq. <\/p>\n

248
\n00:16:26,160 –> 00:16:29,640
\nThe name above all are the names
\ngiven to the one that is in the <\/p>\n

249
\n00:16:29,640 –> 00:16:33,120
\nline of David.
\nNow whose name is Yahweh? <\/p>\n

250
\n00:16:35,320 –> 00:16:38,360
\nGod.
\nIt’s interesting not part of the<\/p>\n

251
\n00:16:38,360 –> 00:16:42,440
\nclass, but interesting that in
\nJeremiah 33 the same thing is <\/p>\n

252
\n00:16:42,440 –> 00:16:45,360
\nsaid.
\nIt’s talking about Jerusalem and<\/p>\n

253
\n00:16:45,360 –> 00:16:50,040
\nit says it shall also be called
\nYahweh, my Zadiq. <\/p>\n

254
\n00:16:51,080 –> 00:16:56,720
\nNow Zaddiq is the word that’s in
\na priesthood and we know it as <\/p>\n

255
\n00:16:56,720 –> 00:16:59,920
\nMelchizedek.
\nI just find it interesting that <\/p>\n

256
\n00:16:59,920 –> 00:17:03,480
\nthe name of God and Zaddiq and
\nthat’s what he shall be called, <\/p>\n

257
\n00:17:04,520 –> 00:17:07,200
\ncalling to Jesus and calling to
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n

258
\n00:17:07,200 –> 00:17:09,640
\nAnd the reason I say that about
\nJerusalem is because when you <\/p>\n

259
\n00:17:09,640 –> 00:17:16,200
\nget to Revelation 3, verse 11, I
\nbelieve it is. <\/p>\n

260
\n00:17:16,200 –> 00:17:20,680
\nIt says to he who overcomes I
\nshall make to be a pillar in the<\/p>\n

261
\n00:17:20,680 –> 00:17:24,119
\ntemple of my Lord shall never be
\nremoved, and he shall be given a<\/p>\n

262
\n00:17:24,119 –> 00:17:28,319
\nnew name.
\nHe will be given the name, the <\/p>\n

263
\n00:17:28,319 –> 00:17:31,640
\nnew name of Jesus.
\nHe’ll be given the new name of <\/p>\n

264
\n00:17:31,640 –> 00:17:34,760
\nJerusalem, and he’ll be given
\nthe new name, the name of our <\/p>\n

265
\n00:17:34,760 –> 00:17:37,760
\nFather of God.
\nThose three things, you can <\/p>\n

266
\n00:17:37,760 –> 00:17:39,160
\ncheck it.
\nIt’s in Revelation 3. <\/p>\n

267
\n00:17:41,240 –> 00:17:44,720
\nSo those things, those things
\ntie together to something. <\/p>\n

268
\n00:17:45,320 –> 00:17:48,640
\nAnd whether it’s literal,
\nmetaphoric, or both, it’s <\/p>\n

269
\n00:17:48,640 –> 00:17:52,200
\ninteresting because Jesus now is
\nsitting on what? <\/p>\n

270
\n00:17:52,560 –> 00:17:55,480
\nWhat is Jesus sitting on?
\nThere’s like 7 references of <\/p>\n

271
\n00:17:55,480 –> 00:18:00,600
\nthis and New Testament God’s
\nright hand on the throne. <\/p>\n

272
\n00:18:00,600 –> 00:18:07,080
\nIf you’re sitting on the throne,
\nyou are a king, right? <\/p>\n

273
\n00:18:07,160 –> 00:18:11,080
\nBecause if you’re not a king,
\nyou do not sit on the throne. <\/p>\n

274
\n00:18:11,080 –> 00:18:15,880
\nDoes it make sense?
\nKing doesn’t like well, who’s <\/p>\n

275
\n00:18:15,880 –> 00:18:16,960
\ngoing to somebody?
\nYou. <\/p>\n

276
\n00:18:17,320 –> 00:18:22,720
\nYou come sit on my throne?
\nNo, not if you want to survive, <\/p>\n

277
\n00:18:24,000 –> 00:18:26,160
\nright?
\nJesus Sitting on the throne of <\/p>\n

278
\n00:18:26,160 –> 00:18:29,840
\nthe King makes Jesus the King
\nagain. <\/p>\n

279
\n00:18:29,840 –> 00:18:35,240
\nWhether it’s a literal throne or
\na metaphoric throne or both, it <\/p>\n

280
\n00:18:35,240 –> 00:18:40,480
\ninfers an understanding of what
\nJesus is doing in his role <\/p>\n

281
\n00:18:40,480 –> 00:18:43,800
\ntoday.
\nNow what’s interesting is in <\/p>\n

282
\n00:18:43,800 –> 00:18:48,200
\nRevelation 321, Jesus says to
\nthe one who overcomes I will <\/p>\n

283
\n00:18:48,200 –> 00:18:53,280
\ngive the right to sit on my
\nthrone with me as I sat on my <\/p>\n

284
\n00:18:53,280 –> 00:18:58,320
\nfather’s throne, right with him.
\nNow here’s an interesting thing.<\/p>\n

285
\n00:18:58,320 –> 00:19:01,560
\nIf we sit on Jesus’s throne, if
\nwe’re being invited up, we’re <\/p>\n

286
\n00:19:01,560 –> 00:19:06,280
\nalready called the children of
\nGod, which makes us royalty. <\/p>\n

287
\n00:19:06,520 –> 00:19:10,320
\nIf we’re if we’re invited by
\nJesus to sit on his throne with <\/p>\n

288
\n00:19:10,320 –> 00:19:16,960
\nhim, that makes us kings, is
\nthat is that too far a reach <\/p>\n

289
\n00:19:18,080 –> 00:19:19,560
\nright.
\nSo now if you’ve got a <\/p>\n

290
\n00:19:19,560 –> 00:19:22,600
\nconversation that we’ve been
\ncalled to be ambassadors, we’ve <\/p>\n

291
\n00:19:22,600 –> 00:19:25,480
\nbeen called to be ministers,
\nwe’ve been called to be kings <\/p>\n

292
\n00:19:25,760 –> 00:19:28,360
\nand we’ll be kings with Jesus
\nout of Jerusalem. <\/p>\n

293
\n00:19:28,600 –> 00:19:32,160
\nAnd Jesus, right, is the high
\npriest in the order of <\/p>\n

294
\n00:19:32,160 –> 00:19:37,480
\nMelchizedek, who is king priest
\nin Jerusalem Salem, right? <\/p>\n

295
\n00:19:37,480 –> 00:19:39,440
\nAnd Jesus is the high priest in
\nthe order. <\/p>\n

296
\n00:19:39,440 –> 00:19:45,520
\nBut an order contains people
\nthat makes us what Melchizedek <\/p>\n

297
\n00:19:45,520 –> 00:19:48,360
\nand priests connect the dots,
\nright? <\/p>\n

298
\n00:19:48,720 –> 00:19:51,360
\nIt’s like we’ve given all of the
\ninformation. <\/p>\n

299
\n00:19:51,640 –> 00:19:55,360
\nIt’s just leading us to an
\nunderstanding that what we’ve <\/p>\n

300
\n00:19:55,360 –> 00:20:02,040
\nbeen called right is profound.
\nDo you wake up and think of <\/p>\n

301
\n00:20:02,040 –> 00:20:07,000
\nyourself as being an expression
\nof a of righteousness and an <\/p>\n

302
\n00:20:07,000 –> 00:20:15,000
\nexpression of peace to be seen
\nby others? <\/p>\n

303
\n00:20:15,000 –> 00:20:22,080
\nBecause that’s what priests do.
\nThey express something right <\/p>\n

304
\n00:20:22,080 –> 00:20:25,760
\nfrom God to others.
\nMediators as it were. <\/p>\n

305
\n00:20:27,000 –> 00:20:32,080
\nAnd these are the things that we
\nhave as roles that are cast upon<\/p>\n

306
\n00:20:32,080 –> 00:20:34,760
\nus.
\nWe don’t meet them perfectly. <\/p>\n

307
\n00:20:34,760 –> 00:20:38,880
\nI certainly don’t.
\nBut it’s hard to meet the <\/p>\n

308
\n00:20:38,880 –> 00:20:43,280
\npurpose of your creation if you
\ndon’t start by acknowledging and<\/p>\n

309
\n00:20:43,280 –> 00:20:47,440
\nunderstanding and and under and
\nappreciating what we’re invited <\/p>\n

310
\n00:20:47,440 –> 00:20:49,960
\ninto.
\nAnd then what I think is the <\/p>\n

311
\n00:20:49,960 –> 00:20:52,240
\nAmazing Grace that we’re being
\nshown. <\/p>\n

312
\n00:20:52,440 –> 00:20:55,040
\nBecause while we’re called into
\nthe role, we often don’t even <\/p>\n

313
\n00:20:55,040 –> 00:20:57,840
\nthink about it.
\nAnd we certainly can easily <\/p>\n

314
\n00:20:57,840 –> 00:21:02,880
\nmisrepresent the world we’re in
\nbecause we’re called because God<\/p>\n

315
\n00:21:02,880 –> 00:21:05,280
\ndoesn’t predicate.
\nHe doesn’t say, look, this is <\/p>\n

316
\n00:21:05,280 –> 00:21:08,680
\nthe role I want you to be in,
\nand once you get it right, then <\/p>\n

317
\n00:21:08,680 –> 00:21:11,880
\nwe’ll then we’ll label you
\nright. <\/p>\n

318
\n00:21:12,040 –> 00:21:16,840
\nHe starts by inviting us into it
\nand as soon as we embrace him, <\/p>\n

319
\n00:21:16,840 –> 00:21:21,920
\nwhich I believe happens in
\nbaptism, that those labels <\/p>\n

320
\n00:21:21,920 –> 00:21:25,640
\napply, we just haven’t figured
\nit out and grown into them, <\/p>\n

321
\n00:21:27,080 –> 00:21:28,840
\nright.
\nWe don’t fully appreciate what <\/p>\n

322
\n00:21:28,840 –> 00:21:32,480
\nwe’re called to, and God’s
\ndealing with us in mercy and <\/p>\n

323
\n00:21:32,480 –> 00:21:37,560
\ngrace as we discover.
\nBut he does want us to discover <\/p>\n

324
\n00:21:37,560 –> 00:21:39,560
\nit.
\nNow. <\/p>\n

325
\n00:21:43,160 –> 00:21:45,400
\nOne of the things I talked about
\nlast week, and I’m going to say <\/p>\n

326
\n00:21:45,400 –> 00:21:47,200
\nit again, is the friendship
\naspect. <\/p>\n

327
\n00:21:47,200 –> 00:21:50,080
\nWe can live.
\nI mean, Jesus is talking about <\/p>\n

328
\n00:21:50,080 –> 00:21:53,760
\nhis apostles at one point in
\ntime, starting at John 14. <\/p>\n

329
\n00:21:54,240 –> 00:21:58,320
\nAnd he’s like, you know, you did
\nwhat I told you to do and and <\/p>\n

330
\n00:21:58,320 –> 00:22:01,280
\nand your servants in the house.
\nBut I’ve shared with you <\/p>\n

331
\n00:22:01,320 –> 00:22:05,160
\neverything, right?
\nEverything that’s important. <\/p>\n

332
\n00:22:06,120 –> 00:22:08,400
\nAnd now you understand what
\nGod’s will in the house is. <\/p>\n

333
\n00:22:08,400 –> 00:22:11,280
\nAnd now you are no longer
\nservants because now you <\/p>\n

334
\n00:22:11,280 –> 00:22:14,120
\nunderstand what God’s purpose
\nand plan is. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:22:14,120 –> 00:22:19,520
\nYou’ve become what friends,
\nright? <\/p>\n

336
\n00:22:19,520 –> 00:22:23,280
\nThis is the one friend
\nconversation right now that you <\/p>\n

337
\n00:22:23,280 –> 00:22:25,560
\nunderstand what’s what’s being
\ndone in the house. <\/p>\n

338
\n00:22:25,880 –> 00:22:29,200
\nYou’ve become friends.
\nAnd he goes, and he elaborates <\/p>\n

339
\n00:22:29,200 –> 00:22:30,800
\neven one more.
\nHe says, if you do what I <\/p>\n

340
\n00:22:30,800 –> 00:22:32,440
\ncommand, then you are my
\nfriends. <\/p>\n

341
\n00:22:32,720 –> 00:22:36,120
\nAnd he says and I command you to
\nlove one another. <\/p>\n

342
\n00:22:36,760 –> 00:22:43,280
\nSo let’s do that.
\nSo anyway, that’s that’s one of <\/p>\n

343
\n00:22:43,280 –> 00:22:45,480
\nthe things I think is
\ninteresting is what God is doing<\/p>\n

344
\n00:22:45,480 –> 00:22:48,720
\nis he’s, you know, we’ve got
\nthese stages of spiritual <\/p>\n

345
\n00:22:48,720 –> 00:22:52,360
\ndevelopment in our lives, and it
\nstarts out with little children <\/p>\n

346
\n00:22:52,680 –> 00:22:55,720
\nwhere we’re being cared for by
\nwhoever the manager of the house<\/p>\n

347
\n00:22:55,720 –> 00:22:57,920
\nis kind of concept.
\nAnd that’s a Galatians 4 <\/p>\n

348
\n00:22:58,240 –> 00:23:01,040
\ndiscussion.
\nBut we’re also kind of servants.<\/p>\n

349
\n00:23:01,040 –> 00:23:04,080
\nWe’re trying to figure out how
\nto be obedient to the <\/p>\n

350
\n00:23:04,080 –> 00:23:07,240
\ninstruction God has given us.
\nBut at some point, we, you know,<\/p>\n

351
\n00:23:07,240 –> 00:23:11,640
\nwe’re being invited to grow to
\nthe point where we don’t need to<\/p>\n

352
\n00:23:11,640 –> 00:23:14,360
\njust follow the commands.
\nWe actually need to figure out <\/p>\n

353
\n00:23:14,360 –> 00:23:17,080
\nwhat God is seeking to do so
\nthat we can apply ourselves <\/p>\n

354
\n00:23:17,080 –> 00:23:20,440
\ntowards His purpose.
\nIn other words, we understand <\/p>\n

355
\n00:23:20,440 –> 00:23:25,680
\nGod’s plan and we understand how
\nwe fit in it, and we know how to<\/p>\n

356
\n00:23:25,680 –> 00:23:29,960
\nparticipate actively and
\nvoluntarily in the plan of God. <\/p>\n

357
\n00:23:30,280 –> 00:23:33,720
\nThat’s what friends do.
\nWe love what He’s doing, and we <\/p>\n

358
\n00:23:33,720 –> 00:23:36,120
\nwant to be a part of it, and we
\nfigure out how to fit in. <\/p>\n

359
\n00:23:37,120 –> 00:23:40,760
\nWe can be servants doing what
\nwe’re told, or we can be friends<\/p>\n

360
\n00:23:40,760 –> 00:23:44,120
\nfiguring out how to further it,
\nright? <\/p>\n

361
\n00:23:44,240 –> 00:23:45,600
\nAnd that’s what Jesus is telling
\nhim. <\/p>\n

362
\n00:23:45,600 –> 00:23:47,200
\nYou know what you need to know
\nnow? <\/p>\n

363
\n00:23:48,320 –> 00:23:50,120
\nYou will no longer be called my
\nservants. <\/p>\n

364
\n00:23:50,120 –> 00:23:53,080
\nYou will be called my friends,
\nand I find that to be an <\/p>\n

365
\n00:23:53,080 –> 00:23:55,880
\ninvitation for each and every
\none of us, right? <\/p>\n

366
\n00:23:56,160 –> 00:23:59,320
\nGod will continue to work with
\nus in mercy and compassion and <\/p>\n

367
\n00:23:59,320 –> 00:24:01,800
\ngraciousness and kindness as
\nservants. <\/p>\n

368
\n00:24:01,800 –> 00:24:08,080
\nBut He’s inviting us to grow up
\nin his family and become friends<\/p>\n

369
\n00:24:08,360 –> 00:24:11,600
\nand active participation, active
\nparticipation of the plan. <\/p>\n

370
\n00:24:12,000 –> 00:24:15,160
\nNow to me that gets even more
\nscary because I’m like, So what <\/p>\n

371
\n00:24:15,160 –> 00:24:17,760
\nam I supposed to do?
\nAm I like, you know, David built<\/p>\n

372
\n00:24:17,760 –> 00:24:20,120
\na temple.
\nWhy did he build a temple? <\/p>\n

373
\n00:24:20,360 –> 00:24:22,320
\nYou know, that’s a pretty big
\nundertaking. <\/p>\n

374
\n00:24:22,560 –> 00:24:25,080
\nYou know, is this talking like
\nI’ve got to start, you know, <\/p>\n

375
\n00:24:25,080 –> 00:24:28,680
\nsaving money and and talking
\nabout a seven-year plan so that <\/p>\n

376
\n00:24:28,680 –> 00:24:32,440
\nI can do one thing and I and I
\nthink not. <\/p>\n

377
\n00:24:32,680 –> 00:24:35,760
\nI think the scripture actually
\nindicates to us it’s we tend to <\/p>\n

378
\n00:24:35,760 –> 00:24:38,520
\ncomplicate it, but God actually
\nisn’t. <\/p>\n

379
\n00:24:38,520 –> 00:24:41,120
\nAct asking, asking for
\ncomplicated. <\/p>\n

380
\n00:24:42,320 –> 00:24:46,080
\nNow I’ll say this, being a
\nparticipant in the plan of God <\/p>\n

381
\n00:24:48,080 –> 00:24:51,640
\nis in and of itself fairly
\nstraightforward, and I’m going <\/p>\n

382
\n00:24:51,640 –> 00:24:54,920
\nto give some practical comment
\ncommentary in a second. <\/p>\n

383
\n00:24:56,040 –> 00:25:02,120
\nGod may ask you to do something
\nprofoundly difficult, right? <\/p>\n

384
\n00:25:02,320 –> 00:25:06,240
\nAnd I think that exercise is one
\nof spiritual development and <\/p>\n

385
\n00:25:06,240 –> 00:25:09,560
\ngenerally for people that have
\nspecific roles that actually <\/p>\n

386
\n00:25:09,560 –> 00:25:13,120
\nhave profounding, you know,
\nprofound implications and ripple<\/p>\n

387
\n00:25:13,120 –> 00:25:14,840
\neffect.
\nAnd that can be any any one of <\/p>\n

388
\n00:25:14,840 –> 00:25:17,640
\nus and every one of us at
\ndifferent places and times in <\/p>\n

389
\n00:25:17,640 –> 00:25:21,040
\nour lives.
\nBut the day-to-day, being a <\/p>\n

390
\n00:25:21,040 –> 00:25:27,720
\nservant of God has one thing
\nthat I think is different and <\/p>\n

391
\n00:25:27,720 –> 00:25:32,560
\nit’s an exercise of vision, both
\nunderstanding what he’s looking <\/p>\n

392
\n00:25:32,560 –> 00:25:36,240
\nfor and and and and I actually
\ndo the literal vision thing. <\/p>\n

393
\n00:25:36,240 –> 00:25:37,800
\nI think I did this last week as
\nwell. <\/p>\n

394
\n00:25:38,080 –> 00:25:42,640
\nI actually look up and think,
\nOK, a family that loves each <\/p>\n

395
\n00:25:42,640 –> 00:25:47,200
\nother is what you’re driving to
\ndevelop on the earth. <\/p>\n

396
\n00:25:47,200 –> 00:25:50,160
\nI’m not saying trying or seeking
\nbecause God doesn’t try. <\/p>\n

397
\n00:25:50,160 –> 00:25:53,000
\nHe does.
\nAnd I can participate now. <\/p>\n

398
\n00:25:53,000 –> 00:25:55,320
\nAnd what is something simple I
\ncan do, OK? <\/p>\n

399
\n00:25:55,840 –> 00:25:58,080
\nAnd it could be the way I
\ninteract. <\/p>\n

400
\n00:25:58,080 –> 00:25:59,480
\nIt could be a conversation I
\nhave. <\/p>\n

401
\n00:25:59,480 –> 00:26:01,080
\nIt could be inviting people to
\nlunch. <\/p>\n

402
\n00:26:01,080 –> 00:26:04,800
\nIt could be, you know, seeing
\nsomeone that needs a little bit <\/p>\n

403
\n00:26:04,800 –> 00:26:07,160
\nof food and helping them and and
\nsaying, and I just want you to <\/p>\n

404
\n00:26:07,160 –> 00:26:11,120
\nknow that the kingdom’s coming
\nand when it comes you won’t be <\/p>\n

405
\n00:26:11,120 –> 00:26:13,960
\ncaptive to the difficulties you
\nhave. <\/p>\n

406
\n00:26:14,400 –> 00:26:18,160
\nIt’s keeping an eye on what God
\nis doing and what you’re doing. <\/p>\n

407
\n00:26:19,000 –> 00:26:22,080
\nBecause when you do it, it’s
\nlike, you know, everybody with <\/p>\n

408
\n00:26:22,080 –> 00:26:25,240
\nchildren raises a family, and
\neverybody that raises a family <\/p>\n

409
\n00:26:25,240 –> 00:26:28,480
\nloves their children mostly,
\nright? <\/p>\n

410
\n00:26:29,400 –> 00:26:31,680
\nBut not everybody raises their
\nfamily with an eye to the <\/p>\n

411
\n00:26:31,680 –> 00:26:34,360
\nKingdom of God coming and the
\nchildren being in the Kingdom <\/p>\n

412
\n00:26:34,640 –> 00:26:38,760
\nand then operating with their
\nchildren in a way that manifests<\/p>\n

413
\n00:26:38,760 –> 00:26:41,640
\nthe love and compassion and
\ngracious and mercy, mercy and <\/p>\n

414
\n00:26:41,640 –> 00:26:44,280
\nkindness.
\nYou may see the same behaviors <\/p>\n

415
\n00:26:44,280 –> 00:26:47,800
\nfrom different families, but
\none’s motivated by a view of <\/p>\n

416
\n00:26:47,800 –> 00:26:50,160
\nwhat the Kingdom is and the
\nother one’s motivated because <\/p>\n

417
\n00:26:50,440 –> 00:26:53,960
\nthat’s just how they interact.
\nIt makes all the difference in <\/p>\n

418
\n00:26:53,960 –> 00:26:56,640
\nthe world.
\nWhen you look to God’s plan and <\/p>\n

419
\n00:26:56,640 –> 00:27:01,600
\nto God to determine how you’re
\ngoing to act, the motive <\/p>\n

420
\n00:27:01,600 –> 00:27:04,360
\nmatters.
\nThe motive matters. <\/p>\n

421
\n00:27:06,040 –> 00:27:08,240
\nAll right.
\nSo I said I was going to talk <\/p>\n

422
\n00:27:08,240 –> 00:27:11,400
\nabout Sabbath, and believe it or
\nnot, Sabbath fits in. <\/p>\n

423
\n00:27:11,920 –> 00:27:14,200
\nAnd I’m going to start with the
\nconversation on what what <\/p>\n

424
\n00:27:14,200 –> 00:27:17,040
\nexactly is Sabbath?
\nI mean, there’s going to be a <\/p>\n

425
\n00:27:17,040 –> 00:27:18,840
\nlot of possible answers.
\nWhat is Sabbath? <\/p>\n

426
\n00:27:20,280 –> 00:27:21,160
\nRest.
\nOK. <\/p>\n

427
\n00:27:21,160 –> 00:27:29,960
\nRest from what?
\nRest from work. <\/p>\n

428
\n00:27:29,960 –> 00:27:31,840
\nRest from providing for
\nyourself. <\/p>\n

429
\n00:27:31,920 –> 00:27:35,200
\nOK, That’s good.
\nWhere do we see where do we? <\/p>\n

430
\n00:27:35,440 –> 00:27:36,280
\nOK.
\nI didn’t say it. <\/p>\n

431
\n00:27:36,440 –> 00:27:39,440
\nWe see it first in creation.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n

432
\n00:27:39,720 –> 00:27:43,560
\nAnd what happens that that calls
\nit Sabbath? <\/p>\n

433
\n00:27:43,560 –> 00:27:48,360
\nWhat is what is it that that
\nmakes it a Sabbath in creation, <\/p>\n

434
\n00:27:48,360 –> 00:27:57,920
\nin Genesis two really anybody.
\nIt actually says what about God <\/p>\n

435
\n00:27:58,880 –> 00:28:05,760
\nthat he he rested right rested
\nfrom all his creation. <\/p>\n

436
\n00:28:06,560 –> 00:28:10,000
\nNow here’s an interesting thing.
\nJesus does some stuff on the on <\/p>\n

437
\n00:28:10,000 –> 00:28:14,520
\nthe Sabbath, right?
\nAnd the Pharisees come, come <\/p>\n

438
\n00:28:14,520 –> 00:28:18,160
\nafter him.
\nYou know, there’s six days a <\/p>\n

439
\n00:28:18,160 –> 00:28:20,880
\nweek You could be healing.
\nPeople don’t do it on the <\/p>\n

440
\n00:28:20,880 –> 00:28:25,120
\nSabbath, which I find funny.
\nAnd Jesus makes a comment, <\/p>\n

441
\n00:28:25,680 –> 00:28:28,240
\nright?
\nHe supports his work on the <\/p>\n

442
\n00:28:28,240 –> 00:28:32,640
\nSabbath by saying, well, he
\ndoes. <\/p>\n

443
\n00:28:32,680 –> 00:28:34,880
\nI’m getting to that one, getting
\nall ahead of me. <\/p>\n

444
\n00:28:37,400 –> 00:28:41,040
\nOwen says.
\nThe Sabbath was not made for <\/p>\n

445
\n00:28:41,040 –> 00:28:43,840
\nman.
\nNo, no, that’s not it. <\/p>\n

446
\n00:28:44,920 –> 00:28:46,840
\nDid I say it wrong?
\nI did say it wrong, didn’t I? <\/p>\n

447
\n00:28:47,600 –> 00:28:49,400
\nMan?
\nMan was not made for the <\/p>\n

448
\n00:28:49,400 –> 00:28:51,600
\nSabbath.
\nThe Sabbath was made for man and<\/p>\n

449
\n00:28:51,600 –> 00:28:55,880
\nthe Lord and the and the Son of
\nman is Lord of the Sabbath. <\/p>\n

450
\n00:28:56,800 –> 00:29:00,240
\nThe other thing he says, which I
\nfind quite interesting, is my <\/p>\n

451
\n00:29:00,240 –> 00:29:07,160
\nfather is still at work, so I
\nmust work. <\/p>\n

452
\n00:29:07,280 –> 00:29:11,240
\nThere’s an interesting one under
\nthe Sabbath. <\/p>\n

453
\n00:29:13,440 –> 00:29:17,080
\nAnd yet you get all the way up
\nto Hebrews 4. <\/p>\n

454
\n00:29:17,640 –> 00:29:21,480
\nAnd when he talks about the
\nSabbath, the author of Hebrews <\/p>\n

455
\n00:29:22,360 –> 00:29:24,680
\nright, He talks about the
\nSabbath rest. <\/p>\n

456
\n00:29:24,880 –> 00:29:27,240
\nAnd he said God rested from all
\nhis work. <\/p>\n

457
\n00:29:27,440 –> 00:29:30,880
\nAnd he said, and we also wait in
\neager anticipation of the <\/p>\n

458
\n00:29:30,880 –> 00:29:34,960
\nSabbath that’s coming, right?
\nSo that we also will rest for <\/p>\n

459
\n00:29:34,960 –> 00:29:39,960
\nmore work, which puts the
\nSabbath in the future. <\/p>\n

460
\n00:29:42,400 –> 00:29:49,960
\nSo interesting, isn’t it?
\nSo what is the observation of <\/p>\n

461
\n00:29:49,960 –> 00:29:52,480
\nthe Sabbath?
\nWhat is the Sabbath of the <\/p>\n

462
\n00:29:52,480 –> 00:29:54,120
\nfuture?
\nWhat do we call that? <\/p>\n

463
\n00:29:56,720 –> 00:29:59,360
\nThat is exactly right.
\nWe call it the Kingdom. <\/p>\n

464
\n00:30:00,240 –> 00:30:03,560
\nSo the Kingdom age we’re looking
\nfor is the Sabbath rest? <\/p>\n

465
\n00:30:04,400 –> 00:30:09,040
\nWell, we’ll be resting from our
\nwork, but will we be sitting on <\/p>\n

466
\n00:30:09,040 –> 00:30:11,160
\na cloud somewhere with a harp
\nnot doing anything? <\/p>\n

467
\n00:30:12,120 –> 00:30:14,760
\nIs that the visual?
\nWhat? <\/p>\n

468
\n00:30:14,760 –> 00:30:18,960
\nWhat are we going to be doing?
\nHow long do we say the Sabbath <\/p>\n

469
\n00:30:18,960 –> 00:30:24,520
\nrest on the earth is
\nclassically, Yeah, there’s no <\/p>\n

470
\n00:30:24,520 –> 00:30:26,320
\nrisk in this when you guys know
\nwhat this is. <\/p>\n

471
\n00:30:26,320 –> 00:30:28,040
\nHow long do we say it’s going to
\nbe? <\/p>\n

472
\n00:30:28,960 –> 00:30:31,360
\n1000 years?
\nThousand years? <\/p>\n

473
\n00:30:31,360 –> 00:30:33,440
\nSabbath rest.
\nI’m OK if it’s 1001. <\/p>\n

474
\n00:30:33,440 –> 00:30:36,080
\nIf it’s 10,000, it’s 20,000.
\nBut the evidence of the <\/p>\n

475
\n00:30:36,080 –> 00:30:38,680
\nscripture, there’s one or two
\nverses that say 1000 years. <\/p>\n

476
\n00:30:38,680 –> 00:30:40,280
\nSo I’m going to go with 1000
\nyears. <\/p>\n

477
\n00:30:40,440 –> 00:30:42,040
\nWhat are we going to do on the
\nearth? <\/p>\n

478
\n00:30:42,040 –> 00:30:44,000
\nWhat happens at the end of the
\nthousand years? <\/p>\n

479
\n00:30:46,240 –> 00:30:49,640
\nGod is All in all, which means
\nthere’s no longer any what on <\/p>\n

480
\n00:30:49,640 –> 00:30:53,280
\nthe earth.
\nThere’s no more sin. <\/p>\n

481
\n00:30:53,720 –> 00:30:55,800
\nAnd when there’s no more sin,
\nthere’s no more. <\/p>\n

482
\n00:30:57,160 –> 00:31:00,120
\nThere’s no more struggle,
\nthere’s no more death. <\/p>\n

483
\n00:31:00,680 –> 00:31:03,840
\nWe’re told in Revelation 21 the
\nold, old order of things has <\/p>\n

484
\n00:31:03,840 –> 00:31:08,280
\npassed away, that you know, the
\nmourning and crying, those <\/p>\n

485
\n00:31:08,280 –> 00:31:11,880
\nthings are gone.
\nThe God will dwell with man. <\/p>\n

486
\n00:31:12,640 –> 00:31:15,400
\nWe start in the creation with
\nGod dwelling with man. <\/p>\n

487
\n00:31:15,400 –> 00:31:19,360
\nWe end at the completion of the
\ncreation, with God dwelling with<\/p>\n

488
\n00:31:19,360 –> 00:31:23,120
\nman.
\nSo it seems to me that for 1000 <\/p>\n

489
\n00:31:23,120 –> 00:31:26,480
\nyears we start with an earth
\nthat’s full of corruption and we<\/p>\n

490
\n00:31:26,480 –> 00:31:30,200
\nend with an earth that has none.
\nSo I think there’s a lot of work<\/p>\n

491
\n00:31:30,200 –> 00:31:34,920
\ngoing on for 1000 years because
\nwe’re purifying mankind in the <\/p>\n

492
\n00:31:34,920 –> 00:31:39,400
\nearth for 1000 years, and that
\npurification is the elimination <\/p>\n

493
\n00:31:39,640 –> 00:31:46,120
\nof sin and death, right?
\nOne person at a time. <\/p>\n

494
\n00:31:47,880 –> 00:31:50,720
\nSo it’s interesting because what
\ndoes Jesus do on the Sabbath? <\/p>\n

495
\n00:31:57,280 –> 00:32:00,320
\nHe did miracles.
\nBut what did his miracles do, <\/p>\n

496
\n00:32:01,200 –> 00:32:03,120
\nright?
\nWhat about the man who was lame?<\/p>\n

497
\n00:32:04,480 –> 00:32:07,480
\nHe’s healed, right?
\nWhat did he say? <\/p>\n

498
\n00:32:08,120 –> 00:32:10,720
\nI could say and he did that on
\nthe Sabbath, right? <\/p>\n

499
\n00:32:10,960 –> 00:32:16,160
\nBut, he said, I could say your
\nsins have forgiven you. <\/p>\n

500
\n00:32:16,200 –> 00:32:22,480
\nStand up and walk or be healed.
\nTake up your map. <\/p>\n

501
\n00:32:22,560 –> 00:32:25,760
\nGo home.
\nAnd so you know and. <\/p>\n

502
\n00:32:25,760 –> 00:32:29,680
\nFor your benefit, be healed,
\npick up your, you know, pick up <\/p>\n

503
\n00:32:29,680 –> 00:32:31,880
\nyour map, go home.
\nWhat did he do? <\/p>\n

504
\n00:32:32,160 –> 00:32:35,880
\nWhat is that?
\nIt’s like he it’s like he stops <\/p>\n

505
\n00:32:35,880 –> 00:32:39,040
\nthe, you know, stops the video
\nfor a second, looks at us and <\/p>\n

506
\n00:32:39,040 –> 00:32:44,440
\nsays are you paying attention?
\nBecause this is a. <\/p>\n

507
\n00:32:44,440 –> 00:32:48,440
\nSabbath Act now What days did
\nJesus heal on? <\/p>\n

508
\n00:32:52,160 –> 00:32:54,440
\nAll of them.
\nMatter of fact. <\/p>\n

509
\n00:32:54,440 –> 00:32:56,640
\nThat’s the whole thing with.
\nThe Pharisees, You have six days<\/p>\n

510
\n00:32:56,640 –> 00:32:57,920
\na week.
\nYou heal on. <\/p>\n

511
\n00:32:58,160 –> 00:33:01,640
\nLeave the Sabbath alone and
\nJesus is like you, missing the <\/p>\n

512
\n00:33:01,640 –> 00:33:04,880
\npoint.
\nThe Sabbath is. <\/p>\n

513
\n00:33:04,880 –> 00:33:08,600
\nAn observation of the Kingdom
\nthat’s coming when you will <\/p>\n

514
\n00:33:08,600 –> 00:33:14,560
\ncease to be filling your bank
\naccount for your own purposes, <\/p>\n

515
\n00:33:14,840 –> 00:33:19,640
\nand you’ll be committed to
\nfurthering God’s Kingdom on the <\/p>\n

516
\n00:33:19,640 –> 00:33:22,960
\nearth.
\nAnd purifying. <\/p>\n

517
\n00:33:23,120 –> 00:33:26,520
\nAnd bringing healing and
\ndemonstrating love and <\/p>\n

518
\n00:33:26,520 –> 00:33:29,640
\ngentleness.
\nJesus looked at the lepers and <\/p>\n

519
\n00:33:29,640 –> 00:33:31,640
\nyou could see the compassion
\ncome out. <\/p>\n

520
\n00:33:31,840 –> 00:33:34,720
\nWhat is the one thing you do not
\ndo with lepers? <\/p>\n

521
\n00:33:36,520 –> 00:33:42,600
\nHutcham What did he do?
\nJesus saw beyond. <\/p>\n

522
\n00:33:42,600 –> 00:33:47,040
\nThe skin lesions to the heart of
\nthe people who were suffering <\/p>\n

523
\n00:33:47,800 –> 00:33:51,040
\nthe consequence of mortality
\nwhich he shared. <\/p>\n

524
\n00:33:54,120 –> 00:33:56,800
\nIt’s like he saw.
\nHimself in them. <\/p>\n

525
\n00:33:56,960 –> 00:34:00,120
\nThe reason it’s difficult for us
\nto help people, oftentimes I <\/p>\n

526
\n00:34:00,120 –> 00:34:06,400
\nspeak from my own experience who
\nare in dire circumstances is <\/p>\n

527
\n00:34:06,400 –> 00:34:11,800
\nbecause it’s it’s fearful to
\nactually connect with somebody <\/p>\n

528
\n00:34:11,800 –> 00:34:14,280
\nwho could be a reflection of my
\nown reality. <\/p>\n

529
\n00:34:16,679 –> 00:34:19,600
\nIt’s hard to do.
\nBecause as long as they’re an <\/p>\n

530
\n00:34:19,600 –> 00:34:25,760
\nobject, I don’t have to connect
\nwith the fact that me too Jesus <\/p>\n

531
\n00:34:25,760 –> 00:34:30,600
\nsaw mortality, the struggle of
\ncarnality, the expression of <\/p>\n

532
\n00:34:30,600 –> 00:34:34,040
\nthat in skin lesions on these
\npeople who were suffering and <\/p>\n

533
\n00:34:34,040 –> 00:34:37,760
\nrecognized His shared state with
\nthem. <\/p>\n

534
\n00:34:39,199 –> 00:34:42,920
\nAnd I think that compels him
\neven further into obedience to <\/p>\n

535
\n00:34:42,920 –> 00:34:49,520
\nGod and sacrifice for for the
\nredemptive benefit to all of <\/p>\n

536
\n00:34:49,520 –> 00:34:54,639
\nmankind.
\nOK, not a lot of time. <\/p>\n

537
\n00:34:54,920 –> 00:34:57,800
\nBut the key thing I want to
\nleave with you on the Sabbath <\/p>\n

538
\n00:34:57,800 –> 00:35:02,720
\nconversation, because I do want
\nto get to the the parable of the<\/p>\n

539
\n00:35:02,720 –> 00:35:05,880
\ntalents quickly and it’s going
\nto leave you more questions than<\/p>\n

540
\n00:35:05,880 –> 00:35:08,840
\nanswers.
\nMaybe, but is the idea of <\/p>\n

541
\n00:35:08,840 –> 00:35:13,360
\nSabbath everything Jesus did was
\nan expression of the Kingdom on <\/p>\n

542
\n00:35:13,360 –> 00:35:16,960
\nearth, the Sabbath.
\nThe reason he did the same thing<\/p>\n

543
\n00:35:16,960 –> 00:35:20,720
\non the Sabbath he did every
\nother day was because every day <\/p>\n

544
\n00:35:20,920 –> 00:35:23,720
\nhe was showing people what the
\nKingdom is going to look like. <\/p>\n

545
\n00:35:25,240 –> 00:35:28,160
\nHe was inviting.
\nPeople to see the Kingdom. <\/p>\n

546
\n00:35:28,920 –> 00:35:32,160
\nAnd that’s why the Scripture
\nactually tells us when Jesus <\/p>\n

547
\n00:35:32,160 –> 00:35:35,640
\ncomments on the Kingdom is nigh
\nunto you because he wasn’t <\/p>\n

548
\n00:35:35,640 –> 00:35:38,440
\nwaiting for the Kingdom to come
\nin 2000 years. <\/p>\n

549
\n00:35:39,640 –> 00:35:42,880
\nHe was living an expression of
\nwhat the Kingdom is. <\/p>\n

550
\n00:35:43,200 –> 00:35:47,600
\nBy demonstrating God’s
\ncompassion and God’s mercy, His <\/p>\n

551
\n00:35:47,600 –> 00:35:52,200
\nabounding love, His forgiveness,
\neven over wickedness, rebellion,<\/p>\n

552
\n00:35:52,200 –> 00:35:57,760
\nand sin as expressed in Exodus
\n34, he was demonstrating what <\/p>\n

553
\n00:35:57,760 –> 00:36:02,200
\nthat looks like in real life.
\nRight? <\/p>\n

554
\n00:36:02,960 –> 00:36:05,000
\nAnd the beauty of that
\ndemonstration. <\/p>\n

555
\n00:36:05,000 –> 00:36:06,960
\nBecause Jesus didn’t come and do
\nit for us. <\/p>\n

556
\n00:36:06,960 –> 00:36:12,640
\nHe came as an example to us.
\nLeading the way. <\/p>\n

557
\n00:36:12,640 –> 00:36:17,560
\nFor people who believe and our
\npeople of faith is it were <\/p>\n

558
\n00:36:17,560 –> 00:36:21,600
\nintended to step into the role
\nof expressing the Kingdom in our<\/p>\n

559
\n00:36:21,600 –> 00:36:26,240
\nlives as well.
\nIt’s one thing to know it. <\/p>\n

560
\n00:36:26,640 –> 00:36:30,320
\nIt’s another thing to apply it.
\nRight and he. <\/p>\n

561
\n00:36:30,320 –> 00:36:34,360
\nWanted us to get beyond the
\ndisciple conversation, to get <\/p>\n

562
\n00:36:34,360 –> 00:36:39,920
\ninto the son expression, to get
\ninto the friend expression, to <\/p>\n

563
\n00:36:39,920 –> 00:36:41,720
\nget into the ambassador
\nexpression. <\/p>\n

564
\n00:36:41,720 –> 00:36:45,400
\nThese are doers of the word,
\nright? <\/p>\n

565
\n00:36:45,800 –> 00:36:48,040
\nAnd we can’t do that if we don’t
\nunderstand it correctly. <\/p>\n

566
\n00:36:48,520 –> 00:36:51,600
\nSo it’s incredibly, incredibly
\nimportant to understand it so <\/p>\n

567
\n00:36:51,600 –> 00:36:53,960
\nthat we can figure out how to
\napply it in our own lives. <\/p>\n

568
\n00:36:55,760 –> 00:37:01,560
\nAnd that’s what Jesus did.
\nHe applied, He applied his <\/p>\n

569
\n00:37:01,560 –> 00:37:07,640
\nservice with his disciples as
\napostles and people all around, <\/p>\n

570
\n00:37:09,600 –> 00:37:13,120
\nand as such was an expression of
\nthe Kingdom age. <\/p>\n

571
\n00:37:13,320 –> 00:37:16,360
\nNow I love the fact that He made
\nthe comment that he was an <\/p>\n

572
\n00:37:16,360 –> 00:37:20,480
\nexpression that the Kingdom is
\nnigh unto you, not after he was <\/p>\n

573
\n00:37:20,480 –> 00:37:23,000
\nresurrected, but before he was
\nresurrected. <\/p>\n

574
\n00:37:23,640 –> 00:37:27,200
\nAnd these little details matter
\nbecause before he was <\/p>\n

575
\n00:37:27,200 –> 00:37:30,480
\nresurrected, he was mortal, and
\nhe struggled with carnal <\/p>\n

576
\n00:37:30,480 –> 00:37:34,040
\nthinking and temptation, the
\nhardship and trials that we <\/p>\n

577
\n00:37:34,040 –> 00:37:36,920
\nstruggle with.
\nAnd it was in that state before <\/p>\n

578
\n00:37:36,920 –> 00:37:40,880
\nhis perfection.
\nAt the redemption, at the hand. <\/p>\n

579
\n00:37:40,880 –> 00:37:45,880
\nOf God that he was able to say,
\nYou have seen the Kingdom, it is<\/p>\n

580
\n00:37:45,880 –> 00:37:49,160
\nnigh upon you.
\nBecause you don’t have to be. <\/p>\n

581
\n00:37:49,160 –> 00:37:53,480
\nPerfect and complete.
\nTo be an expression. <\/p>\n

582
\n00:37:54,360 –> 00:37:57,080
\nOf what God is doing to be a
\nparticipant of what God is <\/p>\n

583
\n00:37:57,080 –> 00:37:59,040
\ndoing.
\nMatthew 25. <\/p>\n

584
\n00:37:59,040 –> 00:38:05,120
\nI think it starts at verse 14.
\nIs a conversation. <\/p>\n

585
\n00:38:05,120 –> 00:38:07,680
\nAnd I’m going to summarize this
\nbecause I can’t read it in 5 <\/p>\n

586
\n00:38:07,680 –> 00:38:09,320
\nminutes.
\nThere’s a summarization <\/p>\n

587
\n00:38:09,320 –> 00:38:12,760
\nsummarization of this master
\nwho’s going away. <\/p>\n

588
\n00:38:13,080 –> 00:38:15,920
\nI believe this is Jesus
\nreferring to himself in the <\/p>\n

589
\n00:38:15,920 –> 00:38:21,200
\nparable and he’s got 3 servants
\nand they have or they all are <\/p>\n

590
\n00:38:21,200 –> 00:38:23,080
\ngoing to be given a number of
\ntalents. <\/p>\n

591
\n00:38:23,080 –> 00:38:26,840
\nNow there’s an unfortunate
\ncoincidence in English language <\/p>\n

592
\n00:38:26,840 –> 00:38:32,400
\nthat talent means skill.
\nNow he does say that one of the <\/p>\n

593
\n00:38:32,600 –> 00:38:36,080
\none of the servants is going to
\nbe given 5 talents, one’s going <\/p>\n

594
\n00:38:36,080 –> 00:38:38,680
\nto be given 2 talents, one’s
\ngoing to be given one talent <\/p>\n

595
\n00:38:38,880 –> 00:38:41,760
\naccording to their abilities.
\nAnd at first, it seems like a <\/p>\n

596
\n00:38:41,760 –> 00:38:45,520
\nworldly type of conversation
\nthat you’ve got different people<\/p>\n

597
\n00:38:45,520 –> 00:38:49,080
\nin different roles that have
\ndifferent skills, right? <\/p>\n

598
\n00:38:49,480 –> 00:38:53,200
\nAnd the guy that’s really
\ntalented, you like my pun there <\/p>\n

599
\n00:38:53,400 –> 00:38:56,440
\ngets more and the guy that has
\nleast talent has less. <\/p>\n

600
\n00:38:56,960 –> 00:38:59,960
\nBut here’s the interesting thing
\nabout the parable is it’s a <\/p>\n

601
\n00:38:59,960 –> 00:39:01,720
\nparable.
\nIt’s intended to be <\/p>\n

602
\n00:39:01,720 –> 00:39:05,520
\nspiritualized and connected to
\nspiritual concepts, not worldly <\/p>\n

603
\n00:39:05,520 –> 00:39:07,800
\nconcepts.
\nBecause often times Jesus’s <\/p>\n

604
\n00:39:07,800 –> 00:39:11,520
\nparables don’t actually work in
\nthe material world. <\/p>\n

605
\n00:39:12,120 –> 00:39:15,280
\nThey’re inverse right?
\nThey’re delivering a spiritual <\/p>\n

606
\n00:39:15,280 –> 00:39:16,880
\nmessage.
\nThey’re not intended to be <\/p>\n

607
\n00:39:17,120 –> 00:39:19,400
\nleveraged to explain how
\nbusiness works. <\/p>\n

608
\n00:39:19,960 –> 00:39:23,840
\nSo as I was looking at this and
\nlooking at the words, it <\/p>\n

609
\n00:39:23,840 –> 00:39:28,880
\noccurred to me because it showed
\nit in the Greek text that the <\/p>\n

610
\n00:39:28,880 –> 00:39:33,360
\ntalent is actually a unit of
\nmeasure and the talent would be <\/p>\n

611
\n00:39:33,360 –> 00:39:39,000
\nthe equivalent of like somewhere
\nbetween 58 and 62 lbs. <\/p>\n

612
\n00:39:41,200 –> 00:39:46,240
\nOf either.
\nSilver or gold in that day the. <\/p>\n

613
\n00:39:46,240 –> 00:39:48,680
\n50 if if.
\nYou took the smaller number and <\/p>\n

614
\n00:39:48,680 –> 00:39:51,160
\nmade it silver.
\nIt would be equivalent to the <\/p>\n

615
\n00:39:51,160 –> 00:39:55,720
\ncommon workers wages for 20
\nyears approximately. <\/p>\n

616
\n00:39:56,520 –> 00:40:00,200
\nSo that’s a basically the
\neffective working lifespan of a <\/p>\n

617
\n00:40:00,200 –> 00:40:03,920
\nperson.
\nAnd it’s like God saying. <\/p>\n

618
\n00:40:03,920 –> 00:40:07,720
\nI’m going to.
\nPay or I’m going to. <\/p>\n

619
\n00:40:07,720 –> 00:40:12,720
\nPurchase your ServiceNow What’s
\nalso interesting is the parable <\/p>\n

620
\n00:40:12,720 –> 00:40:16,000
\nmakes the point.
\nLater on I and I, and it clued <\/p>\n

621
\n00:40:16,000 –> 00:40:18,440
\nme into what what is being said
\nin the parable. <\/p>\n

622
\n00:40:18,680 –> 00:40:21,960
\nWhen when God is well, when the
\nMaster returns and measures. <\/p>\n

623
\n00:40:21,960 –> 00:40:24,680
\nI said God when Jesus returns
\nand measures when when the <\/p>\n

624
\n00:40:24,680 –> 00:40:29,840
\nMaster returns and measures.
\nThe guy with five had five more.<\/p>\n

625
\n00:40:30,840 –> 00:40:34,400
\nThe guy with two had two more,
\nand the guy with one had buried <\/p>\n

626
\n00:40:34,400 –> 00:40:35,960
\nit.
\nSo you’re familiar with the <\/p>\n

627
\n00:40:35,960 –> 00:40:38,240
\nparable.
\nAnd then this statement is that <\/p>\n

628
\n00:40:38,240 –> 00:40:41,520
\neven what you don’t have will be
\ntaken away from you. <\/p>\n

629
\n00:40:41,520 –> 00:40:44,280
\nAnd I took a closer look and I
\nwas like, wait a minute, He <\/p>\n

630
\n00:40:44,280 –> 00:40:50,400
\ndidn’t give them talents, right?
\nHe didn’t give them talents. <\/p>\n

631
\n00:40:50,400 –> 00:40:54,440
\nHe put them.
\nHe put his talents in trust with<\/p>\n

632
\n00:40:54,440 –> 00:40:57,600
\nthem.
\nThey never had their own <\/p>\n

633
\n00:40:57,600 –> 00:40:59,520
\ntalents.
\nThey only ever had his. <\/p>\n

634
\n00:41:00,160 –> 00:41:01,320
\nThat’s interesting.
\nHow? <\/p>\n

635
\n00:41:01,320 –> 00:41:05,440
\nHow do we spiritualize that?
\nAnd then? <\/p>\n

636
\n00:41:05,920 –> 00:41:08,760
\nInitially, still stuck on the
\ntalent conversation. <\/p>\n

637
\n00:41:08,760 –> 00:41:11,280
\nThere’s some who’ve got more,
\nthere’s some who’ve got less. <\/p>\n

638
\n00:41:11,720 –> 00:41:14,400
\nAnd then I began to realize the
\nspiritual message isn’t that <\/p>\n

639
\n00:41:15,560 –> 00:41:18,200
\nisn’t there.
\nThere is a conversation to to to<\/p>\n

640
\n00:41:18,200 –> 00:41:21,520
\nthe one who much is given much
\nis, you know, as much as <\/p>\n

641
\n00:41:21,520 –> 00:41:25,360
\nexpected.
\nBut I don’t think that’s the <\/p>\n

642
\n00:41:25,360 –> 00:41:27,400
\nmeat of of the conversation
\nhere. <\/p>\n

643
\n00:41:27,920 –> 00:41:32,720
\nIt’s actually different because
\nwhat does the one with five come<\/p>\n

644
\n00:41:32,720 –> 00:41:36,040
\nback with?
\nFive. <\/p>\n

645
\n00:41:36,040 –> 00:41:37,440
\nWhat does the one with two?
\nCome back with. <\/p>\n

646
\n00:41:38,760 –> 00:41:42,200
\nSo the one with five.
\nDoubled and the one with two <\/p>\n

647
\n00:41:43,560 –> 00:41:46,840
\ndoubled And I thought, huh,
\nthat’s interesting. <\/p>\n

648
\n00:41:46,840 –> 00:41:50,360
\nWhat is doubling?
\nWhat is a scriptural? <\/p>\n

649
\n00:41:50,360 –> 00:41:52,280
\nConversation when you see
\ndoubling. <\/p>\n

650
\n00:41:53,880 –> 00:41:56,360
\nAnd.
\nIf you give me one and I double <\/p>\n

651
\n00:41:56,360 –> 00:41:59,040
\nit, or two and I double it, or
\nthree and I double it, or four <\/p>\n

652
\n00:41:59,040 –> 00:42:01,520
\nand I double it, what happens?
\nIf you give me 7, what will <\/p>\n

653
\n00:42:01,520 –> 00:42:04,320
\nhappen?
\nRight, the skill of a. <\/p>\n

654
\n00:42:04,320 –> 00:42:07,600
\nPerson that invests what they
\nhave, right? <\/p>\n

655
\n00:42:07,680 –> 00:42:12,240
\nSo the emphasis here is not on
\nthe skill and ability of the <\/p>\n

656
\n00:42:12,240 –> 00:42:16,840
\nindividual, it’s on the outcome.
\nAnd then I looked at one other <\/p>\n

657
\n00:42:16,840 –> 00:42:19,400
\nlittle feature, and it was what
\nthe master asked. <\/p>\n

658
\n00:42:20,280 –> 00:42:21,840
\nWhat?
\nHe didn’t ask, really, he <\/p>\n

659
\n00:42:21,840 –> 00:42:25,520
\ncommanded.
\nHe commanded that I’m going to. <\/p>\n

660
\n00:42:25,520 –> 00:42:29,640
\nPut something in your trust and
\nI want you to use it. <\/p>\n

661
\n00:42:31,760 –> 00:42:33,800
\nHe didn’t say I want.
\nYou to double it? <\/p>\n

662
\n00:42:35,040 –> 00:42:37,360
\nHe didn’t say I expect to
\nreturn. <\/p>\n

663
\n00:42:38,280 –> 00:42:41,760
\nHe didn’t say anything.
\nThere was no qualification, no <\/p>\n

664
\n00:42:41,760 –> 00:42:44,880
\nexpectation.
\nExcept I’m putting something in <\/p>\n

665
\n00:42:44,880 –> 00:42:48,200
\nyour hands and I want you to use
\nit. <\/p>\n

666
\n00:42:49,320 –> 00:42:53,000
\nDo something with it.
\nAnd the one who had five did <\/p>\n

667
\n00:42:53,000 –> 00:42:55,520
\nsomething with it and got five
\nmore, and the one who had two <\/p>\n

668
\n00:42:55,520 –> 00:42:57,280
\ndid something with it and got
\ntwo more. <\/p>\n

669
\n00:42:57,640 –> 00:43:04,320
\nThey were both doubled.
\nAnd I find there to be an. <\/p>\n

670
\n00:43:04,320 –> 00:43:09,520
\nInteresting message because
\nJesus is Jesus has another. <\/p>\n

671
\n00:43:11,080 –> 00:43:12,280
\nTerrible conversation.
\nThat’s. <\/p>\n

672
\n00:43:12,280 –> 00:43:15,960
\nVery similar to the talent one a
\nfew days later. <\/p>\n

673
\n00:43:16,160 –> 00:43:19,240
\nSo this is really heavy on his
\nmind and he’s trying to tell his<\/p>\n

674
\n00:43:19,240 –> 00:43:24,000
\napostles this message that gets
\nrecorded for you and for me. <\/p>\n

675
\n00:43:25,800 –> 00:43:29,960
\nIt’s like Jesus, I think is
\nstill active. <\/p>\n

676
\n00:43:31,160 –> 00:43:33,160
\nI believe Jesus is.
\nOn the throne of God, the <\/p>\n

677
\n00:43:33,160 –> 00:43:36,400
\nscriptures seem to indicate as
\nmuch and I believe Jesus is <\/p>\n

678
\n00:43:36,400 –> 00:43:40,440
\nactive now as a gift to Jesus.
\nThis is my premise, my <\/p>\n

679
\n00:43:40,600 –> 00:43:43,680
\nsuspicion.
\nGod as a gift to Jesus because <\/p>\n

680
\n00:43:43,680 –> 00:43:47,800
\nhe stood in obedience and
\nperfection, elevated him, gave <\/p>\n

681
\n00:43:47,800 –> 00:43:50,200
\nhim the name above all of the
\nnames which implies power and <\/p>\n

682
\n00:43:50,200 –> 00:43:53,560
\nauthority.
\nAnd Jesus is now ruling right <\/p>\n

683
\n00:43:53,560 –> 00:43:58,000
\nnow on this, you know, over our
\nearth and involved with us as <\/p>\n

684
\n00:43:58,000 –> 00:44:00,440
\nwell.
\nAnd Jesus’s message is, I’m <\/p>\n

685
\n00:44:00,440 –> 00:44:03,000
\ngoing to send you and I’m going
\nto put in your care. <\/p>\n

686
\n00:44:05,240 –> 00:44:07,960
\nI’m going to put in your.
\nCare something that’s specific <\/p>\n

687
\n00:44:07,960 –> 00:44:10,480
\nto you, and I want you to use
\nit. <\/p>\n

688
\n00:44:11,680 –> 00:44:14,960
\nAnd here’s the interesting
\nthing, everyone that uses it <\/p>\n

689
\n00:44:14,960 –> 00:44:16,760
\ngets doubled.
\nNow. <\/p>\n

690
\n00:44:16,760 –> 00:44:19,760
\nIt’s interesting when you
\nunderstand spiritual talk that <\/p>\n

691
\n00:44:19,760 –> 00:44:23,680
\ndoubling has to do with first
\nborn inheritance. <\/p>\n

692
\n00:44:25,400 –> 00:44:28,320
\nIf you don’t use what I’ve.
\nGiven you even what isn’t yours <\/p>\n

693
\n00:44:28,320 –> 00:44:33,440
\nwill be taken from you, but if
\nyou use what I’ve given you, you<\/p>\n

694
\n00:44:33,440 –> 00:44:37,120
\nwill be doubled.
\nThat’s that’s spiritual. <\/p>\n

695
\n00:44:37,120 –> 00:44:40,000
\nCode speak for you will be a
\nfirst born. <\/p>\n

696
\n00:44:40,880 –> 00:44:43,560
\nI will give you the inheritance
\nof the first born. <\/p>\n

697
\n00:44:44,400 –> 00:44:48,120
\nAll I’m asking is that you apply
\nwhat you’ve been given. <\/p>\n

698
\n00:44:48,320 –> 00:44:50,680
\nIt’s interesting.
\nThis message fits in so many <\/p>\n

699
\n00:44:50,680 –> 00:44:52,080
\nways.
\nLike the Paul Apollos <\/p>\n

700
\n00:44:52,080 –> 00:44:54,720
\nconversation, you know, we’re
\nnot building a foundation. <\/p>\n

701
\n00:44:54,720 –> 00:44:57,720
\nFoundation’s already there.
\nSome build with gold, some build<\/p>\n

702
\n00:44:57,720 –> 00:45:00,960
\nwith silver, some build with
\nstone, some build with hay and <\/p>\n

703
\n00:45:00,960 –> 00:45:05,120
\nstubble.
\nBut everyone who builds will be <\/p>\n

704
\n00:45:05,120 –> 00:45:12,080
\nsaved without regard to the
\noutcome because we say something<\/p>\n

705
\n00:45:12,080 –> 00:45:13,440
\nelse.
\nIt’s also true. <\/p>\n

706
\n00:45:13,720 –> 00:45:16,640
\nOurs is to plant the seed, not
\nto make it. <\/p>\n

707
\n00:45:17,920 –> 00:45:21,480
\nGrow Who makes it?
\nGrow God. <\/p>\n

708
\n00:45:21,600 –> 00:45:25,800
\nIt’s not in our control.
\nActually, When we believe, when <\/p>\n

709
\n00:45:25,800 –> 00:45:29,680
\nwe become convinced that the
\nproduct is the result of our <\/p>\n

710
\n00:45:29,680 –> 00:45:32,800
\nwork, whose seat are we sitting
\nin? <\/p>\n

711
\n00:45:34,000 –> 00:45:37,480
\nGod told us he’s.
\nThe one that makes it grow. <\/p>\n

712
\n00:45:38,280 –> 00:45:40,680
\nAnd even in the conversation
\nthat Paul has about the <\/p>\n

713
\n00:45:40,680 –> 00:45:43,640
\nfoundation, what he’s really
\nsaying is don’t worry about the <\/p>\n

714
\n00:45:43,640 –> 00:45:47,280
\nproduct.
\nWhat Jesus says to the. <\/p>\n

715
\n00:45:47,680 –> 00:45:49,960
\nTo the apostles about the
\ntalents is. <\/p>\n

716
\n00:45:49,960 –> 00:45:54,680
\nI’m not telling you what the
\noutcome is from your. <\/p>\n

717
\n00:45:54,680 –> 00:45:56,880
\nWork.
\nWhat I’m inviting you to do is <\/p>\n

718
\n00:45:56,880 –> 00:46:00,440
\nuse what I’ve given you.
\nAnd if you use what I’ve. <\/p>\n

719
\n00:46:00,440 –> 00:46:03,040
\nGiven you, I’m going to double
\nyou. <\/p>\n

720
\n00:46:03,960 –> 00:46:07,000
\nAnd I love this message because
\nit doesn’t need to be <\/p>\n

721
\n00:46:07,000 –> 00:46:09,080
\nsophisticated.
\nIt doesn’t need to be <\/p>\n

722
\n00:46:09,080 –> 00:46:11,760
\ncomplicated.
\nWe do need to look at what God <\/p>\n

723
\n00:46:11,760 –> 00:46:14,520
\nis seeking to do on this earth,
\nand we need to find our place in<\/p>\n

724
\n00:46:14,520 –> 00:46:19,280
\nit.
\nAnd then we need as friends, as <\/p>\n

725
\n00:46:19,280 –> 00:46:24,360
\nfamily to say, how can I
\ncontribute to making what God is<\/p>\n

726
\n00:46:25,080 –> 00:46:27,520
\ndoing in his creation with
\npeople? <\/p>\n

727
\n00:46:27,680 –> 00:46:31,160
\nHow can I participate in that?
\nBecause participating in the <\/p>\n

728
\n00:46:31,160 –> 00:46:36,080
\nplan of God is using what we’ve
\nbeen given that has. <\/p>\n

729
\n00:46:36,080 –> 00:46:40,560
\nThe promise of first.
\nBorn attached to it. <\/p>\n

730
\n00:46:40,880 –> 00:46:45,840
\nAnd God is faithful and Jesus is
\nfaithful, right? <\/p>\n

731
\n00:46:45,840 –> 00:46:50,440
\nThey’re not measuring the
\noutcome, They’re measuring our <\/p>\n

732
\n00:46:50,440 –> 00:46:52,560
\nheartfelt desire and
\napplication. <\/p>\n

733
\n00:46:53,120 –> 00:46:56,680
\nThat’s it.
\nNow, doesn’t that take all the <\/p>\n

734
\n00:46:56,680 –> 00:46:59,680
\npressure off ’cause, even if you
\ndon’t know? <\/p>\n

735
\n00:46:59,680 –> 00:47:01,360
\nExactly what you’re.
\nSupposed to be doing. <\/p>\n

736
\n00:47:01,480 –> 00:47:03,920
\nIt’s like I had a football coach
\nI hate to end on a football <\/p>\n

737
\n00:47:03,920 –> 00:47:06,400
\nmetaphor.
\nWho said? <\/p>\n

738
\n00:47:06,400 –> 00:47:07,880
\nIf you find yourself on the
\nline. <\/p>\n

739
\n00:47:07,880 –> 00:47:11,400
\nAnd you realize that that you
\nknow that the it’s the ball is <\/p>\n

740
\n00:47:11,400 –> 00:47:13,720
\nabout to be snapped and you
\nrealize that you don’t know what<\/p>\n

741
\n00:47:13,720 –> 00:47:16,960
\nthe play is, he said.
\nWhen the ball is snapped, jump <\/p>\n

742
\n00:47:16,960 –> 00:47:20,120
\nup, scream, shout, you know, hit
\nsomebody, do something. <\/p>\n

743
\n00:47:20,120 –> 00:47:22,440
\nBut don’t just stand there,
\nright? <\/p>\n

744
\n00:47:22,440 –> 00:47:25,040
\nIf you don’t know exactly what
\nyour role is, that’s fine. <\/p>\n

745
\n00:47:25,400 –> 00:47:27,640
\nJump up, scream and shout.
\nDo something. <\/p>\n

746
\n00:47:28,200 –> 00:47:31,960
\nParticipate, remembering what
\nGod is doing in in our community<\/p>\n

747
\n00:47:31,960 –> 00:47:37,040
\nand being participant in that.
\nYou’ll be led to your right <\/p>\n

748
\n00:47:37,040 –> 00:47:41,280
\nrole.
\nYou’ll be blessed. <\/p>\n

749
\n00:47:41,880 –> 00:47:45,040
\nFor your voluntary active
\nparticipation, applying what God<\/p>\n

750
\n00:47:45,040 –> 00:47:49,520
\nhas given you to participate in
\nHis plan, and that’s my <\/p>\n

751
\n00:47:49,520 –> 00:47:53,680
\nencouragement to you, we have a
\nwonderful God. <\/p>\n

752
\n00:47:53,680 –> 00:47:57,880
\nHe’s incredibly faithful.
\nHe’s not asking us to produce <\/p>\n

753
\n00:47:57,880 –> 00:47:59,840
\nthe outcome.
\nHe’s asking us to apply what <\/p>\n

754
\n00:47:59,840 –> 00:48:04,280
\nwe’ve been given, to participate
\nin his plan of building a family<\/p>\n

755
\n00:48:04,600 –> 00:48:07,920
\nthat works and operates together
\nin a beautiful way, <\/p>\n

756
\n00:48:08,480 –> 00:48:11,560
\ndemonstrating compassion,
\nkindness, graciousness, <\/p>\n

757
\n00:48:12,360 –> 00:48:15,920
\nforgiving each other, bearing
\nwith each other’s grievances. <\/p>\n

758
\n00:48:16,480 –> 00:48:19,840
\nYou know, working with each
\nother gently and kindly. <\/p>\n

759
\n00:48:21,840 –> 00:48:25,880
\nDoing that is expressing and
\nbeing participant and God’s plan<\/p>\n

760
\n00:48:26,080 –> 00:48:30,280
\nand being an expression of the
\nKingdom of God on earth right <\/p>\n
