Class 2 from this series was used in GCT Episode 324.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:04,120 –> 00:00:08,280
\nIt’s Thursday, we have already
\npassed halfway point of Bible <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:08,280 –> 00:00:11,240
\nschool.
\nUnbelievable, unbelievable. <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:11,240 –> 00:00:14,520
\nIt’s been a tremendous week
\nthat’s we’ve had with you guys. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:14,520 –> 00:00:18,320
\nAnd so thank you very much again
\nfor the invite from yesterday’s <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:18,320 –> 00:00:20,240
\nclass.
\nI just want to quickly go over a<\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:20,240 –> 00:00:25,800
\nquestion I had I got a few times
\nafter yesterday’s session on the<\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:26,280 –> 00:00:30,880
\nworking together.
\nIf we are journeying toward <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:30,880 –> 00:00:34,280
\nJerusalem, we do so knowing
\nbrothers and sisters that we are<\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:34,280 –> 00:00:40,000
\nheading straight for that city.
\nNew Jerusalem is where we set <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:40,040 –> 00:00:43,520
\nour minds and we set our eyes
\nand we plow a straight line <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:43,520 –> 00:00:46,640
\ncarrier across to get there.
\nThe question came up in a few <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:46,640 –> 00:00:50,120
\ndifferent ways of how do we
\nlearn to work together with <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:50,400 –> 00:00:54,400
\npeople or brothers and sisters
\nwho we don’t agree with? <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:55,080 –> 00:00:58,200
\nAnd it’s, it’s a great question.
\nIf brothers and sisters, if <\/p>\n
16
\n00:00:58,200 –> 00:01:02,360
\npeople do not align with our
\nfirst principles, we do not <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:02,360 –> 00:01:05,120
\nignore them.
\nWe do not simply abandoned them,<\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:05,319 –> 00:01:08,280
\nbut we never, ever, ever veer
\noff course towards New <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:08,280 –> 00:01:10,400
\nJerusalem.
\nThat is the goal. <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:11,240 –> 00:01:14,960
\nWe don’t set our cross aside and
\nwait. <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:16,160 –> 00:01:19,960
\nWe don’t simply show them the
\nfruits of repentance. <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:19,960 –> 00:01:23,600
\nBut if they refuse to eat, we
\ndon’t let ourselves become more <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:23,600 –> 00:01:27,920
\nlost for their sake.
\nWe keep our minds focused on New<\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:27,920 –> 00:01:30,240
\nJerusalem.
\nWe are going to the city. <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:30,400 –> 00:01:33,320
\nWe do not veer to the left,
\nwould not veer to the right on <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:33,320 –> 00:01:37,040
\nthat path towards New Jerusalem.
\nSo hopefully that answers that <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:37,040 –> 00:01:40,920
\nquestion for you.
\nBut it is an important lesson we<\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:40,920 –> 00:01:45,440
\ndo learn to work together, just
\nlike those 12 disciples would <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:45,440 –> 00:01:48,840
\nhave many, many, many, many,
\nmany times. <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:49,160 –> 00:01:53,280
\nOK, so today we’re on session #5
\nHe ate before them. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:54,000 –> 00:01:57,960
\nDoes anybody remember from
\nsession numbers one and two the <\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:57,960 –> 00:02:02,720
\njourney’s purpose?
\nSo Luke 1831 told us what the <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:02,720 –> 00:02:07,080
\njourney’s purpose was.
\nA couple seconds to try to jog <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:07,080 –> 00:02:10,000
\nthose Thursday morning brains
\ninto gear. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:11,000 –> 00:02:15,760
\nWhat was the journey’s purpose?
\nIt was to the 12, he said. <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:15,760 –> 00:02:21,200
\nSee, we’re going up to
\nJerusalem, and everything that’s<\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:21,200 –> 00:02:24,720
\nbeen written about the Son of
\nMan by the prophets will be <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:24,720 –> 00:02:29,520
\naccomplished.
\nAnd we looked at the gravity of <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:29,520 –> 00:02:32,720
\nthat statement.
\nWe looked at how much was <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:32,720 –> 00:02:35,920
\nwrapped into that little
\nsentence yesterday about <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:36,160 –> 00:02:39,680
\neverything that was written.
\nEverything that was written <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:39,680 –> 00:02:41,520
\nabout the profits must be
\naccomplished. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:41,520 –> 00:02:44,280
\nAnd we saw how he chose the 12
\nthat he did. <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:44,960 –> 00:02:48,960
\nOK, So what we’re going to be
\nlooking at today is a topic <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:48,960 –> 00:02:53,160
\nmaybe most of us love.
\nWe’re going to be looking at the<\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:53,160 –> 00:02:57,760
\ntopic of food in Luke’s gospel.
\nThere is a suspiciously major <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:57,760 –> 00:03:01,120
\nemphasis on this topic, and I’m
\njust going to go through the <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:01,120 –> 00:03:03,920
\nfirst few slides here quickly
\nand we’re going to just kind of <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:03,920 –> 00:03:08,680
\ndemonstrate how often food
\nactually comes up in Luke’s <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:08,680 –> 00:03:12,000
\ngospel.
\nMost importantly, there seems to<\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:12,000 –> 00:03:18,640
\nbe what I could count 8 times
\nthat Jesus participates in a <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:18,640 –> 00:03:22,400
\nmeal in Luke.
\nThere’s 8 meals that Jesus seems<\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:22,400 –> 00:03:26,280
\nto participate in.
\nHe participates in chapter 5 <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:26,280 –> 00:03:29,800
\nwith Levi.
\nFurther on the 1st Pharisee and <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:29,800 –> 00:03:32,480
\na woman who comes in.
\nHe feeds the five thousands, <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:32,920 –> 00:03:37,800
\npharisee #2 and pharisee #3.
\nHe eats with the 12, He eats <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:37,800 –> 00:03:41,120
\nwith the two travelers, and he
\nwraps up in chapter 24 by eating<\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:41,120 –> 00:03:43,760
\nwith the 10.
\nSo it seems to be 8 meals that <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:43,760 –> 00:03:47,680
\nChrist’s participates in in
\nLuke’s gospel. <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:48,440 –> 00:03:53,000
\nBut not only that, but he also
\nuses food in his teachings. <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:54,120 –> 00:03:58,400
\nThere are 18 different places
\nthat he teaches with food. <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:59,160 –> 00:04:02,480
\nGarments and wineskins, Trees
\nthat produce good or bad fruit, <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:02,600 –> 00:04:05,440
\nthe sower and the seed, the Good
\nSamaritan, the Lord’s Prayer <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:06,120 –> 00:04:08,880
\nfriend asking for help at
\nmidnight, The rich fool, <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:08,880 –> 00:04:11,880
\nfaithful servants, faithful
\nmanager, the barren fig tree, <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:12,040 –> 00:04:15,160
\nthe mustard seed and 11 places
\nat a wedding banquet table. <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:15,160 –> 00:04:18,560
\nThe great supper, the lost son,
\nunjust steward, rich man and <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:18,560 –> 00:04:20,480
\nLazarus servants.
\nRewards in the wicked tenants. <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:20,480 –> 00:04:24,120
\nAll of these teachings he works
\nfood and eating and drinking <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:24,120 –> 00:04:29,840
\ninto.
\nThese are a list of everything <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:29,840 –> 00:04:33,400
\nthat he says, hey, I know I can
\nrelate and I know you as an <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:33,400 –> 00:04:36,560
\naudience can relate to.
\nAnd he uses food, hunger and <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:36,560 –> 00:04:39,240
\nfasting is another one.
\nHunger and fasting, which is the<\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:39,240 –> 00:04:45,640
\nlack of food and drink he uses 9
\ntimes in the gospel of just <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:45,640 –> 00:04:48,440
\nLuke.
\nHe has filled the hungry command<\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:48,440 –> 00:04:51,720
\nof the stone to become bred at
\nhis temptation, the severe <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:51,720 –> 00:04:53,240
\nfamine.
\nJohn’s disciples, they <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:53,240 –> 00:04:56,520
\nfrequently fast, but your
\ndisciples, they eat and drink <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:57,880 –> 00:05:00,240
\nDavid and the show bread.
\nBlessed are you who are hungry. <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:00,240 –> 00:05:03,960
\nLook, a glutton and a drunkard.
\nI perish with hunger and fasts <\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:03,960 –> 00:05:08,760
\ntwice a week.
\nNot only that, but he actually <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:08,760 –> 00:05:13,320
\nuses food as metaphors in
\nScripture. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:13,760 –> 00:05:17,520
\nWe recognize most of these.
\nBare fruits, he says, worthy of <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:17,520 –> 00:05:20,600
\nrepentance.
\nBare fruit He will not taste of <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:20,600 –> 00:05:22,440
\ndeath.
\nBeware of the leaven of the <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:22,440 –> 00:05:26,000
\nPharisees.
\nSalt is good faith the size of a<\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:26,000 –> 00:05:30,640
\nmustard seed that he might sift
\nyou as wheat and remove this cup<\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:30,800 –> 00:05:34,200
\nfrom me and a list we will not
\nread but is everything that I <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:34,200 –> 00:05:35,880
\ncouldn’t figure out a category
\nfor. <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:36,600 –> 00:05:42,120
\nThere’s 23 other times in Luke’s
\ngospel that he references food. <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:42,400 –> 00:05:47,080
\nSo you place all of these these
\nthings together and you read <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:47,080 –> 00:05:52,640
\nLuke’s gospel, you come up with
\napproximately slightly over 65 <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:52,640 –> 00:05:56,040
\ndifferent times that Christ is
\ngoing to talk about food or <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:56,040 –> 00:06:02,160
\ndrink, hungry or fasting, things
\nlike of this nature eating in <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:02,160 –> 00:06:05,280
\nhis gospel.
\nThat is roughly 20% of the book <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:06,280 –> 00:06:07,920
\nhas to do with food.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:09,160 –> 00:06:14,680
\nWhy does Luke place such
\nemphasis on Christ the table? <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:16,200 –> 00:06:19,320
\nOne commentator, non
\nChristadelphian states in Luke’s<\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:19,320 –> 00:06:22,480
\ngospel Jesus is either going to
\na meal at a meal or coming from <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:22,480 –> 00:06:24,200
\na meal.
\nIt’s a little bit of a stretch, <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:24,360 –> 00:06:26,680
\nbut you read through Luke’s
\ngospel and that’s right. <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:26,680 –> 00:06:30,440
\nA lot of times there’s a lot to
\ndo with food. <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:30,440 –> 00:06:32,600
\nLook, just eat Jesus’s
\nintroduction into scripture. <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:33,360 –> 00:06:38,680
\nJesus was born in what city?
\nclose Bethlehem he was born in. <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:38,680 –> 00:06:42,040
\nBethlehem means House of bread.
\nWhat was he placed into as soon <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:42,040 –> 00:06:45,960
\nas he was born is placed in a
\nManger that’s used for feeding. <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:45,960 –> 00:06:48,080
\nMary says when she finds out
\nshe’ll have a son. <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:48,280 –> 00:06:50,880
\nShe praises God, saying God have
\nfilled the hungry with good <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:50,880 –> 00:06:53,360
\nthings.
\nHis baptism and his temptation. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:53,360 –> 00:06:56,440
\nAs soon as he’s baptized, he
\ngoes into the wilderness and he <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:56,440 –> 00:06:59,920
\ngoes 40 days without food and
\nhe’s hungry, it says. <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:00,720 –> 00:07:04,840
\nAnd then his first temptation,
\nthe first temptation ever <\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:04,840 –> 00:07:09,840
\nrecorded of Christ, the perfect
\nman was what turned rocks into <\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:09,840 –> 00:07:12,400
\nbread because he was hungry.
\nHis answer? <\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:14,120 –> 00:07:15,840
\nMan shall not live by bread
\nalone. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:15,840 –> 00:07:21,400
\nHe says it’s everywhere in Luke,
\nthe calling of the disciples. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:23,120 –> 00:07:25,920
\nFirst four, we’re doing what?
\nFishing. <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:26,160 –> 00:07:28,800
\nMatthew gets the call and he
\ndoes what? <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:30,040 –> 00:07:32,600
\nHe has a great feast and he
\ninvites everyone to his house to<\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:32,600 –> 00:07:36,760
\neat.
\nYou see, this idea is everywhere<\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:36,760 –> 00:07:38,720
\nin Luke and we have to say,
\nwell, why? <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:39,520 –> 00:07:42,720
\nWhy is it so many places in
\nLuke’s Gospel? <\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:42,840 –> 00:07:45,960
\nLet’s take a look, if we would,
\nat Jesus’s first meal. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:45,960 –> 00:07:49,680
\nIt happens to be the one with
\nMatthew as soon as he’s called <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:49,680 –> 00:07:52,240
\nto be his disciple.
\nThis is in Luke chapter 5. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:52,560 –> 00:07:54,080
\nWe’re going to start at verse
\n27. <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:56,280 –> 00:07:58,600
\nWe’ve read this story a couple
\ntimes already, but we’re going <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:58,600 –> 00:08:00,680
\nto see it from maybe a different
\nangle this morning. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:01,240 –> 00:08:05,280
\nIt says in verse 27 in Matthew,
\nsorry of Luke 5 And after these <\/p>\n
130
\n00:08:05,280 –> 00:08:08,440
\nthings he went forth, and he saw
\na publican named Levi sitting at<\/p>\n
131
\n00:08:08,440 –> 00:08:10,320
\nthe receipt of custom.
\nThis is Matthew and he said him <\/p>\n
132
\n00:08:10,320 –> 00:08:12,200
\nto him, follow me.
\nAnd he left all rose up and <\/p>\n
133
\n00:08:12,200 –> 00:08:14,440
\nfollowed him.
\nSo Christ says, follow me. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:08:14,560 –> 00:08:18,880
\nHe says, Great, I’ll follow you
\nand come to my house for a great<\/p>\n
135
\n00:08:18,880 –> 00:08:22,520
\nfeast. 1st 29 Leave.
\nI made him a great feast in his <\/p>\n
136
\n00:08:22,520 –> 00:08:26,840
\nown house, and there was a great
\ncompany of publicans and others <\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:26,960 –> 00:08:30,600
\nthat sat down with him.
\nSo who is at this banquet feast?<\/p>\n
138
\n00:08:30,880 –> 00:08:33,640
\nWell, we’re told that there was
\nthe tax collectors and the <\/p>\n
139
\n00:08:33,640 –> 00:08:36,440
\nsinners were at this feast.
\nNow tax collectors and sinners <\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:36,600 –> 00:08:40,720
\nis the term not used necessarily
\nby us, but by the others that <\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:40,720 –> 00:08:43,280
\nwere present at this feast, and
\nthat’s the Pharisees and the <\/p>\n
142
\n00:08:43,280 –> 00:08:46,800
\nscribes.
\nIf you read further it says but <\/p>\n
143
\n00:08:46,800 –> 00:08:49,920
\ntheir scribes and Pharisees
\nmurmured against his disciples <\/p>\n
144
\n00:08:49,920 –> 00:08:52,520
\nsaying why do you eat and drink
\nwith the publicans and the <\/p>\n
145
\n00:08:52,520 –> 00:08:54,800
\nsinners so present?
\nNot necessarily everybody eating<\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:54,800 –> 00:08:59,320
\nbut present watching this are
\nthe Christ and his disciples. <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:59,720 –> 00:09:03,040
\nWe have the tax collectors who
\nwould have been friends with <\/p>\n
148
\n00:09:03,040 –> 00:09:06,600
\ntheir Co worker Matthew and also
\nthe Pharisees and the scribes <\/p>\n
149
\n00:09:06,600 –> 00:09:16,600
\nare peering in from outside.
\nThis was Christ’s first meal in <\/p>\n
150
\n00:09:16,600 –> 00:09:21,640
\nthis book.
\nWhat’s the message of His first <\/p>\n
151
\n00:09:21,640 –> 00:09:25,360
\nmeal?
\nHe says as we continue to read <\/p>\n
152
\n00:09:27,280 –> 00:09:30,200
\nverse 30.
\nWhy do you eat and drink with <\/p>\n
153
\n00:09:30,200 –> 00:09:35,880
\npublicans and sinners?
\nNow who are they asking this <\/p>\n
154
\n00:09:35,880 –> 00:09:37,640
\nquestion to?
\nDid we read that carefully? <\/p>\n
155
\n00:09:39,000 –> 00:09:41,640
\nThey murmured against his
\ndisciples. <\/p>\n
156
\n00:09:42,280 –> 00:09:49,240
\nWe are going to notice way too
\noften Christ reads the minds of <\/p>\n
157
\n00:09:49,240 –> 00:09:53,880
\nthose at his dinner table.
\nHow uncomfortable would it have <\/p>\n
158
\n00:09:53,880 –> 00:09:57,000
\nbeen to sit at a seat at a table
\nwith Jesus? <\/p>\n
159
\n00:09:58,440 –> 00:10:01,440
\nLet’s keep reading verse 30.
\nThere are scribes and Pharisees <\/p>\n
160
\n00:10:01,440 –> 00:10:03,680
\nmurmured against his disciples
\nsaying why do you eat and drink <\/p>\n
161
\n00:10:03,680 –> 00:10:08,080
\nThe public and the sinners Jesus
\nanswering them said they that <\/p>\n
162
\n00:10:08,080 –> 00:10:10,200
\nare holding not a physician, but
\nthey that are sick. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:10:10,200 –> 00:10:13,120
\nI came to call the right not I’m
\nsorry I came not to call the <\/p>\n
164
\n00:10:13,120 –> 00:10:15,520
\nrighteous but sinners to
\nrepentance. <\/p>\n
165
\n00:10:15,640 –> 00:10:20,960
\nHe says the theme my message is
\nI have come to call the right, <\/p>\n
166
\n00:10:20,960 –> 00:10:24,040
\nnot the righteous, but sinners
\nto repentance. <\/p>\n
167
\n00:10:25,000 –> 00:10:29,240
\nThe sick need doctors, not to
\nthe healthy Now as we learned in<\/p>\n
168
\n00:10:29,240 –> 00:10:31,840
\nclass number three, session 3,
\neverybody’s a Sinner. <\/p>\n
169
\n00:10:31,920 –> 00:10:34,400
\nEverybody needs a doctor,
\neveryone’s lost. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:10:35,160 –> 00:10:38,040
\nEveryone needs to find
\nrepentance. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:10:39,520 –> 00:10:45,880
\nThe tax collectors, the sinners,
\nthe Pharisees, the scribes. <\/p>\n
172
\n00:10:47,080 –> 00:10:52,320
\nSo brothers and sisters, Jesus
\nis going in his gospel. <\/p>\n
173
\n00:10:52,680 –> 00:10:57,000
\nHe is going to eat with all.
\nWe will see him eating with <\/p>\n
174
\n00:10:57,000 –> 00:10:59,240
\nsinners.
\nWe will see him eating with <\/p>\n
175
\n00:10:59,240 –> 00:11:01,160
\ndisciples.
\nWe will see him eating with <\/p>\n
176
\n00:11:01,160 –> 00:11:04,400
\nPharisees.
\nHe eats with all because all <\/p>\n
177
\n00:11:04,640 –> 00:11:10,400
\nneed repentance, all are lost,
\nall need a doctor. <\/p>\n
178
\n00:11:12,000 –> 00:11:14,680
\nAnd so he sits down with
\neverybody in Luke’s gospel, when<\/p>\n
179
\n00:11:14,680 –> 00:11:18,480
\nhe eats with them all, He feeds
\nothers. <\/p>\n
180
\n00:11:18,960 –> 00:11:25,200
\nHe creates food for thousands.
\nHe plays hosts to a meal, he as <\/p>\n
181
\n00:11:25,200 –> 00:11:29,720
\na guests at other meal.
\nHe has come to call everybody to<\/p>\n
182
\n00:11:29,720 –> 00:11:33,160
\nrepentance.
\nIs it any different with us, <\/p>\n
183
\n00:11:33,160 –> 00:11:36,760
\nbrothers and sisters?
\nWhen we partake of the bread, <\/p>\n
184
\n00:11:37,240 –> 00:11:40,920
\nwhen we partake of the fruit of
\nthe vine, we do so in <\/p>\n
185
\n00:11:41,720 –> 00:11:46,840
\nremembrance of Him.
\nWe do so as a type. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:11:47,520 –> 00:11:52,280
\nWe do so looking to the example
\nof the perfect man because we <\/p>\n
187
\n00:11:52,280 –> 00:11:59,560
\ncome to that table as sinners
\nand Christ has shared that with <\/p>\n
188
\n00:11:59,600 –> 00:12:02,640
\nus.
\nHe gave His life for us <\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:04,440 –> 00:12:07,920
\naccording to Scripture and you
\ncan see this theme come out <\/p>\n
190
\n00:12:08,600 –> 00:12:14,280
\nmeals and particularly where you
\nate at the meal showed your <\/p>\n
191
\n00:12:14,360 –> 00:12:18,640
\nsocial status.
\nThis was a big deal for the <\/p>\n
192
\n00:12:18,640 –> 00:12:22,320
\nPharisees.
\nIt says in Luke 14, you don’t <\/p>\n
193
\n00:12:22,400 –> 00:12:25,320
\nneed to turn it up just a few
\npages over if you’d like to. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:12:25,320 –> 00:12:29,840
\nBut Luke chapter 14, it says in
\nverse 7, and he put forth a <\/p>\n
195
\n00:12:29,840 –> 00:12:33,240
\nparable to those which were
\nbidden when he marked how they <\/p>\n
196
\n00:12:33,240 –> 00:12:36,400
\nchose out the chief rooms.
\nSo Christ is sitting at the <\/p>\n
197
\n00:12:36,400 –> 00:12:37,600
\ntable.
\nWe’re going to we’re going to <\/p>\n
198
\n00:12:37,600 –> 00:12:39,400
\nlook at the story in detail in a
\nfew minutes. <\/p>\n
199
\n00:12:39,560 –> 00:12:42,080
\nHe’s sitting at the table and
\nhe’s he’s watching these people,<\/p>\n
200
\n00:12:42,080 –> 00:12:45,760
\nthese Pharisees scurry around
\ntrying to get the best seat and <\/p>\n
201
\n00:12:45,760 –> 00:12:47,320
\nthey’re shoving and they’re
\npushing and they’re sitting down<\/p>\n
202
\n00:12:47,320 –> 00:12:50,440
\nbefore somebody else and he’s
\nwatching this take place. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:12:50,840 –> 00:12:52,200
\nAnd then he gives us the
\nprinciple. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:12:53,400 –> 00:12:56,400
\nHe says in verse 10, But when
\nyou are bidden, go and sit down <\/p>\n
205
\n00:12:56,400 –> 00:12:59,320
\nin the lowest room.
\nAnd when he that bade thee <\/p>\n
206
\n00:12:59,320 –> 00:13:02,120
\ncometh, he may go up to thee and
\nsay, friend, go up higher. <\/p>\n
207
\n00:13:02,280 –> 00:13:05,160
\nThen shalt thou have worship in
\nthe presence of them that sat at<\/p>\n
208
\n00:13:05,160 –> 00:13:10,280
\nmeet with you.
\nSo we sang, really sit in the <\/p>\n
209
\n00:13:10,280 –> 00:13:14,400
\nlowest.
\nThen what will happen is if <\/p>\n
210
\n00:13:14,760 –> 00:13:17,840
\nyou’re worthy, you’ll be moved
\nup and you’ll be in honor. <\/p>\n
211
\n00:13:17,840 –> 00:13:20,000
\nThe presence of all who sit at
\nthe table with you, brothers and<\/p>\n
212
\n00:13:20,000 –> 00:13:25,560
\nsisters who sat at the table
\nwith him was Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:13:25,760 –> 00:13:28,400
\nWe can have honor with him if we
\nshow that humility. <\/p>\n
214
\n00:13:28,640 –> 00:13:34,120
\nStatus is also brought to us in
\nMatthew’s Gospel, Matthew’s <\/p>\n
215
\n00:13:34,120 –> 00:13:38,240
\nGospel in Matthew chapter 23
\nthere’s a few verses to read <\/p>\n
216
\n00:13:38,240 –> 00:13:41,640
\nfrom that chapter Matthew 23
\nstarting in verse 2 saying the <\/p>\n
217
\n00:13:41,640 –> 00:13:44,840
\nscribes and the Pharisees, they
\nsit in Moses seat all therefore <\/p>\n
218
\n00:13:44,840 –> 00:13:47,960
\nwhatsoever they bid you observe
\nthat observe and do but don’t do<\/p>\n
219
\n00:13:47,960 –> 00:13:52,160
\nafter their works, for they say
\nand they do not verse 5 but all <\/p>\n
220
\n00:13:52,160 –> 00:13:55,160
\ntheir works they do to be seen
\nof men. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:13:57,200 –> 00:14:00,080
\nThey make broad their
\nphylacteries enlarge the borders<\/p>\n
222
\n00:14:00,080 –> 00:14:03,160
\nof their garments.
\nThey love the uppermost rooms at<\/p>\n
223
\n00:14:03,160 –> 00:14:08,440
\nfeasts and the chief seats in
\nthe synagogues where you sat at <\/p>\n
224
\n00:14:08,440 –> 00:14:18,040
\nthese meals showed the status
\nthat you had at the table and <\/p>\n
225
\n00:14:18,040 –> 00:14:21,160
\nthese meals that Christ
\nparticipates in, where was his <\/p>\n
226
\n00:14:21,160 –> 00:14:24,040
\nrightful seat?
\nIt would have been the highest. <\/p>\n
227
\n00:14:24,040 –> 00:14:25,440
\nIt would always been the highest
\nseat. <\/p>\n
228
\n00:14:26,520 –> 00:14:29,680
\nBut they’re all scurrying.
\nThey’re all fighting over that <\/p>\n
229
\n00:14:29,960 –> 00:14:33,320
\nmost precious seat.
\nWe’re going to take a brief <\/p>\n
230
\n00:14:33,320 –> 00:14:37,040
\npause here and just remind
\nourselves about these Pharisees.<\/p>\n
231
\n00:14:37,280 –> 00:14:41,200
\nWe haven’t really looked at the
\nantagonists yet on this journey <\/p>\n
232
\n00:14:41,200 –> 00:14:43,720
\nto Jerusalem.
\nWe’ve seen the the problems, <\/p>\n
233
\n00:14:43,800 –> 00:14:47,080
\nwe’ve looked introspectively,
\nbut we haven’t actually really <\/p>\n
234
\n00:14:47,080 –> 00:14:49,920
\npaid attention to these guys a
\nwhole lot yet. <\/p>\n
235
\n00:14:50,560 –> 00:14:52,520
\nSo let’s take a look then.
\nDoes anybody remember the <\/p>\n
236
\n00:14:52,520 –> 00:14:55,960
\nchapter that we looked at in
\nEzekiel’s prophecy that showed <\/p>\n
237
\n00:14:55,960 –> 00:14:58,840
\nus the failure of the shepherds
\nof Israel? <\/p>\n
238
\n00:14:58,840 –> 00:15:01,360
\nWhere was that one?
\nEzekiel 34? <\/p>\n
239
\n00:15:01,360 –> 00:15:04,240
\nPerfect.
\nEzekiel 34 says that these <\/p>\n
240
\n00:15:04,240 –> 00:15:06,720
\nshepherds of Israel, and when we
\ncome on to the scene, John the <\/p>\n
241
\n00:15:06,720 –> 00:15:11,360
\nBaptist calls them out.
\nYou brood of Vipers bring forth <\/p>\n
242
\n00:15:11,360 –> 00:15:14,840
\nfruits worthy of repentance.
\nBut what we saw from Ezekiel 34 <\/p>\n
243
\n00:15:15,360 –> 00:15:19,120
\nwas the weak they didn’t
\nstrengthen, the sick they didn’t<\/p>\n
244
\n00:15:19,120 –> 00:15:22,440
\nheal, the injured they didn’t
\nbind up, the strayed they didn’t<\/p>\n
245
\n00:15:22,440 –> 00:15:25,040
\nbring back and the lost they
\ndidn’t seek. <\/p>\n
246
\n00:15:25,480 –> 00:15:30,320
\nAccording to the law of the
\nPharisees, holiness came from <\/p>\n
247
\n00:15:30,320 –> 00:15:34,160
\ndoing less.
\nThis was their motto. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:15:34,400 –> 00:15:37,760
\nIf I can figure out a way for
\nthe law to prove that I could do<\/p>\n
249
\n00:15:37,760 –> 00:15:40,360
\nless and less and less, that
\nbrings holiness. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:15:40,520 –> 00:15:44,480
\nYou see, good works according to
\nthe Pharisees, had limitations. <\/p>\n
251
\n00:15:44,680 –> 00:15:47,520
\nI will do good works unless it
\ninvolves the Sabbath. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:15:48,000 –> 00:15:51,800
\nCross that off my list, unless
\nit involves lepers. <\/p>\n
253
\n00:15:51,800 –> 00:15:54,800
\nIf there’s any form of lepers in
\nthe area, I don’t need to do <\/p>\n
254
\n00:15:54,800 –> 00:15:57,120
\nthose things.
\nWhat about Samaritans? <\/p>\n
255
\n00:15:57,120 –> 00:16:00,000
\nI don’t deal with the unclean
\nsinners. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:16:00,080 –> 00:16:03,680
\nI don’t touch them, I don’t let
\nthem get near me, so on and so <\/p>\n
257
\n00:16:03,680 –> 00:16:05,800
\nforth.
\nGood works. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:16:05,800 –> 00:16:09,560
\nAccording to the Pharisees they
\nhad, they had boxed themselves <\/p>\n
259
\n00:16:09,560 –> 00:16:13,000
\nin from from helping so much
\nthat they’re actually limiting <\/p>\n
260
\n00:16:13,000 –> 00:16:14,480
\ntheir involvement with the
\npeople. <\/p>\n
261
\n00:16:16,080 –> 00:16:19,240
\nThis was Ezekiel 34.
\nThis is exactly Ezekiel 34. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:16:19,800 –> 00:16:23,560
\nThey had found rules in the law.
\nThey had found loopholes, <\/p>\n
263
\n00:16:23,560 –> 00:16:26,720
\nexceptions that said look.
\nYeah, yeah, yeah. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:16:26,920 –> 00:16:30,320
\nCome on over for.
\nOh, that’s the Sabbath. <\/p>\n
265
\n00:16:31,000 –> 00:16:33,200
\nWell, sorry.
\nWe’ll catch you next time. <\/p>\n
266
\n00:16:34,120 –> 00:16:37,840
\nOh, Monday works.
\nOh, you were around a leper the <\/p>\n
267
\n00:16:37,840 –> 00:16:39,640
\nother day.
\nIt’s just not going to work. <\/p>\n
268
\n00:16:40,280 –> 00:16:42,200
\nSorry.
\nMaybe we’ll we’ll go get it. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:16:42,920 –> 00:16:47,960
\nAnd they have found their way to
\nappear righteous to everyone to <\/p>\n
270
\n00:16:47,960 –> 00:16:52,280
\nlook the part.
\nAnd Christ says don’t do <\/p>\n
271
\n00:16:52,280 –> 00:16:55,840
\nanything that they do.
\nSo these are the Pharisees that <\/p>\n
272
\n00:16:55,840 –> 00:16:58,440
\nwe’re dealing with.
\nAnd I thought it would just be a<\/p>\n
273
\n00:16:58,440 –> 00:17:02,240
\nfun little quick exercise to
\nkind of look at the the <\/p>\n
274
\n00:17:02,920 –> 00:17:07,640
\nevolution, I guess of where
\nwe’ve started with the Pharisees<\/p>\n
275
\n00:17:07,960 –> 00:17:10,920
\nand where we get to pre journey.
\nI don’t know if you guys <\/p>\n
276
\n00:17:10,920 –> 00:17:14,599
\nremember, but in class 3, we
\nlooked at the Samaritans briefly<\/p>\n
277
\n00:17:14,599 –> 00:17:16,480
\nin class 3.
\nAnd what we saw is that Christ <\/p>\n
278
\n00:17:16,480 –> 00:17:19,280
\nwanted to come down through
\nSamaria. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:17:20,200 –> 00:17:21,760
\nHe wanted to come down this
\npath. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:17:21,960 –> 00:17:26,240
\nHe was up here in Nazareth,
\nsorry Galilee area and he wanted<\/p>\n
281
\n00:17:26,240 –> 00:17:27,760
\nto come down South straight into
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:17:27,960 –> 00:17:31,280
\nHe tried to go through Samaria.
\nThey said not sorry, not today. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:17:31,440 –> 00:17:35,320
\nYour face as though is it was as
\ngoing to Jerusalem not going to <\/p>\n
284
\n00:17:35,320 –> 00:17:38,880
\nwork.
\nHe’s forced to cut E come down <\/p>\n
285
\n00:17:38,880 –> 00:17:41,280
\nSouth of on the Jordan, come
\nback into the land. <\/p>\n
286
\n00:17:42,160 –> 00:17:44,240
\nOne of the biggest reasons he
\ndidn’t want to go through <\/p>\n
287
\n00:17:44,240 –> 00:17:47,120
\nSamaria is they were trying to
\nkill him in Israel. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:17:47,880 –> 00:17:50,640
\nSo if he comes through Samaria,
\nhe can avoid that headache. <\/p>\n
289
\n00:17:50,960 –> 00:17:53,080
\nHe doesn’t in the end, he’s
\nforced to go. <\/p>\n
290
\n00:17:53,080 –> 00:17:57,600
\nBut one of the reasons was this.
\nNow let’s look at the again, <\/p>\n
291
\n00:17:58,480 –> 00:17:59,800
\nevolutions.
\nNot the word I’m looking for, <\/p>\n
292
\n00:17:59,800 –> 00:18:02,200
\nbut it is the word we’re going
\nto use of the Pharisees. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:18:02,280 –> 00:18:04,520
\nCome with me to Luke chapter 5.
\nLet’s start at the beginning <\/p>\n
294
\n00:18:04,520 –> 00:18:05,920
\nhere.
\nLuke chapter 5. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:18:05,920 –> 00:18:09,000
\nThis is pre pre journey.
\nWe’re a few chapters away from <\/p>\n
296
\n00:18:09,000 –> 00:18:11,480
\nhim steadfastly setting his face
\nto go to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:18:11,960 –> 00:18:16,120
\nLuke 5 starting in verse 18, it
\nsays and behold, men brought in <\/p>\n
298
\n00:18:16,120 –> 00:18:19,760
\na bed, a man which was taken
\nwith a palsy, and they sought <\/p>\n
299
\n00:18:19,760 –> 00:18:22,800
\nmeans to bring him in and to lay
\nhim before them. <\/p>\n
300
\n00:18:22,800 –> 00:18:24,880
\nWe know the story.
\nWhen they could not find in <\/p>\n
301
\n00:18:24,880 –> 00:18:27,680
\nwhich way they might bring him
\nin, they came in through the <\/p>\n
302
\n00:18:27,680 –> 00:18:30,080
\nroof.
\nJesus when he saw their faith. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:18:30,080 –> 00:18:33,800
\nVerse 20 said to them, man, your
\nsins are forgiven you. <\/p>\n
304
\n00:18:34,280 –> 00:18:38,280
\nSo here’s a man who’s sick and
\nChrist, the first thing he says <\/p>\n
305
\n00:18:38,280 –> 00:18:42,080
\nis your sins are forgiven you.
\nNow who’s listening? <\/p>\n
306
\n00:18:42,360 –> 00:18:47,920
\nWho’s watching?
\nIt says and the scribes and the <\/p>\n
307
\n00:18:47,920 –> 00:18:52,760
\nPharisees verse 21 began to
\nreason saying who is this which <\/p>\n
308
\n00:18:52,760 –> 00:18:57,200
\nspeaketh blasphemies?
\nWho can forgive sins but God <\/p>\n
309
\n00:18:57,200 –> 00:18:58,960
\nalone?
\nNow what does Jesus do? <\/p>\n
310
\n00:18:58,960 –> 00:19:04,040
\nVerse 22 we’ve already seen it
\nwhen Jesus perceives their <\/p>\n
311
\n00:19:04,040 –> 00:19:07,680
\nthoughts, he answering said to
\nthem, what reason ye in your <\/p>\n
312
\n00:19:07,680 –> 00:19:11,560
\nhearts I’m reading your mind.
\nHe says whether it is easier to <\/p>\n
313
\n00:19:11,560 –> 00:19:14,360
\nsay your sins are forgiven you
\nor to say rise up and walk. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:19:14,480 –> 00:19:18,640
\nSo what we have in Luke 529 is
\nnoticing they go who is this guy<\/p>\n
315
\n00:19:19,200 –> 00:19:23,240
\nwho’s saying these blasphemous
\nwords your sins are forgiven you<\/p>\n
316
\n00:19:23,640 –> 00:19:26,040
\nsure we saw the healing.
\nSure we saw you have the the <\/p>\n
317
\n00:19:26,080 –> 00:19:30,200
\ngifts, but come on, you can’t
\nforgive sins God alone. <\/p>\n
318
\n00:19:30,600 –> 00:19:34,800
\nSo they notice him further on in
\nthe chapter verse 27 a different<\/p>\n
319
\n00:19:34,800 –> 00:19:36,240
\ntime it says and after these
\nthings. <\/p>\n
320
\n00:19:36,240 –> 00:19:40,040
\nSo we’ve progressed after these
\nthings. <\/p>\n
321
\n00:19:40,040 –> 00:19:42,400
\nHe went forth and saw a publican
\nnamed Levi sitting at the <\/p>\n
322
\n00:19:42,400 –> 00:19:44,120
\nreceipt of custom.
\nAnd he said to him, follow me. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:19:44,120 –> 00:19:46,800
\nWe’ve gone over the story.
\nThis is the the meal at <\/p>\n
324
\n00:19:46,880 –> 00:19:48,120
\nMatthew’s house.
\nVerse 30. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:19:48,120 –> 00:19:51,040
\nBut the scribes and the
\nPharisees murmured against his <\/p>\n
326
\n00:19:51,040 –> 00:19:52,960
\ndisciples.
\nSo we see now the next step. <\/p>\n
327
\n00:19:52,960 –> 00:19:55,960
\nThey noticed him further on the
\nchapter they begin to murmur. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:19:56,760 –> 00:19:58,640
\nChapter 6 put the page to verse
\none. <\/p>\n
329
\n00:19:59,280 –> 00:20:02,080
\nIt came to pass in the second
\nSabbath after the first, that he<\/p>\n
330
\n00:20:02,080 –> 00:20:05,400
\nwent through the cornfields.
\nAnd his disciples plucked the <\/p>\n
331
\n00:20:05,400 –> 00:20:07,960
\nears of corn to eat, rubbing
\nthem in their hands. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:20:07,960 –> 00:20:11,560
\nNotice this is, by the way, our
\nsecond Pharisee introduction <\/p>\n
333
\n00:20:11,560 –> 00:20:14,880
\nhaving to do with food.
\nIt’s beside the point, but <\/p>\n
334
\n00:20:15,480 –> 00:20:17,120
\ncertain of the Pharisees said to
\nthem. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:20:17,320 –> 00:20:21,760
\nSaid to who?
\nThe disciples, Why do you that <\/p>\n
336
\n00:20:21,760 –> 00:20:24,200
\nwhich is not lawful to do on the
\nSabbath days. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:20:24,400 –> 00:20:26,560
\nAnd who answers them?
\nThe disciples. <\/p>\n
338
\n00:20:27,280 –> 00:20:32,320
\nNo, Jesus.
\nHe knows what’s going on in <\/p>\n
339
\n00:20:32,320 –> 00:20:35,840
\ntheir minds, man, it would have
\nbeen scary to be around Jesus <\/p>\n
340
\n00:20:35,840 –> 00:20:39,200
\nand to be his enemy.
\nVerse 3 And Jesus answered them,<\/p>\n
341
\n00:20:39,200 –> 00:20:41,080
\nsaid have you not read so much
\nas this? <\/p>\n
342
\n00:20:41,160 –> 00:20:44,040
\nWhat David did when he himself
\nwas hungry and they which were <\/p>\n
343
\n00:20:44,040 –> 00:20:45,880
\nwith him, how he went into the
\nHouse of God. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:20:45,880 –> 00:20:47,920
\nHe did take and eat of the
\nshowbread and gave ulcers to <\/p>\n
345
\n00:20:47,920 –> 00:20:50,440
\nthem which were with him, which
\nis not lawful to eat but for the<\/p>\n
346
\n00:20:50,440 –> 00:20:52,440
\npriests alone.
\nSo what do they do? <\/p>\n
347
\n00:20:52,840 –> 00:20:55,640
\nThey put a challenge to him in
\nchapter 6. <\/p>\n
348
\n00:20:56,160 –> 00:20:58,240
\nLook at verse 7.
\nAnd the scribes and the <\/p>\n
349
\n00:20:58,240 –> 00:21:03,000
\nPharisees watched him, whether
\nhe would heal on the Sabbath <\/p>\n
350
\n00:21:03,000 –> 00:21:08,760
\nday, that they might find an
\naccusation against Him. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:21:08,960 –> 00:21:11,640
\nSo now not only are they
\nnoticing him, they’re murmuring <\/p>\n
352
\n00:21:11,640 –> 00:21:12,880
\nagainst him, they’re challenging
\nhim. <\/p>\n
353
\n00:21:13,040 –> 00:21:14,760
\nBut what they’re doing is
\nthey’re now lying in wait to <\/p>\n
354
\n00:21:14,760 –> 00:21:19,040
\ntrap him.
\nThis guy, he’s good, but he’s <\/p>\n
355
\n00:21:19,040 –> 00:21:20,720
\ngoing to make a mistake.
\nWe’ll catch him. <\/p>\n
356
\n00:21:21,480 –> 00:21:25,600
\nLook at verse 10.
\nNope, let’s go. <\/p>\n
357
\n00:21:25,600 –> 00:21:28,760
\nVerse 8 But he know their
\nthoughts, of course, said to the<\/p>\n
358
\n00:21:28,760 –> 00:21:31,120
\nman which had the withered hand,
\nrise up, stand forth in the <\/p>\n
359
\n00:21:31,120 –> 00:21:32,320
\nmidst.
\nAnd he rose and stood forth, <\/p>\n
360
\n00:21:32,320 –> 00:21:34,840
\nthen said Jesus unto them, I
\nwill ask you one thing. <\/p>\n
361
\n00:21:34,840 –> 00:21:37,480
\nIs it lawful in the Sabbath days
\nto do good or to do evil, to <\/p>\n
362
\n00:21:37,480 –> 00:21:42,760
\nsave life or to destroy it?
\nVerse 11 And they were filled <\/p>\n
363
\n00:21:42,760 –> 00:21:48,680
\nwith madness, and communed one
\nwith another what they might do <\/p>\n
364
\n00:21:48,920 –> 00:21:53,480
\nto Jesus.
\nSo now we’ve the state we’re at <\/p>\n
365
\n00:21:53,480 –> 00:21:58,080
\nis their scheming against him.
\nMatthew as a little bit more to <\/p>\n
366
\n00:21:58,080 –> 00:21:59,440
\nthe story.
\nAnd if you don’t have it written<\/p>\n
367
\n00:21:59,440 –> 00:22:01,760
\ndown in in your margin, it’s
\ngood to jot this one down. <\/p>\n
368
\n00:22:02,000 –> 00:22:05,160
\nThis is the parallel account in
\nMatthew, Matthew chapter 12, <\/p>\n
369
\n00:22:05,160 –> 00:22:07,960
\nverse 14.
\nThen the Pharisees went out and <\/p>\n
370
\n00:22:07,960 –> 00:22:13,040
\nheld a council against him.
\nHow they might destroy him. <\/p>\n
371
\n00:22:13,040 –> 00:22:16,760
\nIt says in Matthew 12.
\nThis is the the, the the <\/p>\n
372
\n00:22:19,040 –> 00:22:22,080
\nprogress, not the word.
\nThis is the evolution that we’ve<\/p>\n
373
\n00:22:22,080 –> 00:22:26,240
\ntaken.
\nNow for these Pharisees, they <\/p>\n
374
\n00:22:26,240 –> 00:22:29,200
\nnoticed, they murmured, they
\nchallenged, they trap, they <\/p>\n
375
\n00:22:29,200 –> 00:22:33,280
\nscheme, and now they’re meeting
\nin secret to talk about how to <\/p>\n
376
\n00:22:33,280 –> 00:22:37,200
\ndestroy him.
\nThis is all pre journey. <\/p>\n
377
\n00:22:38,040 –> 00:22:40,040
\nThis is one of the reasons he
\nwould have preferred to go <\/p>\n
378
\n00:22:40,040 –> 00:22:44,240
\nthrough Samaria is because these
\nPharisees are meeting in secret.<\/p>\n
379
\n00:22:44,400 –> 00:22:46,880
\nHow they can bring this man
\ndown. <\/p>\n
380
\n00:22:47,040 –> 00:22:54,600
\nWhy the Pharisees thrived on
\ndoing less on finding their <\/p>\n
381
\n00:22:54,600 –> 00:22:57,920
\nloopholes in the law.
\nThat said, you know what, look, <\/p>\n
382
\n00:22:57,920 –> 00:23:01,600
\nI found another one.
\nWe actually can do XY and Z <\/p>\n
383
\n00:23:01,600 –> 00:23:05,640
\nbecause this law here
\ncontradicts that one perfect put<\/p>\n
384
\n00:23:05,640 –> 00:23:11,080
\nin the rules and Christ came and
\npreached a new Kingdom, a new <\/p>\n
385
\n00:23:11,080 –> 00:23:13,320
\nlaw, a better way.
\nAnd they go, this is this is <\/p>\n
386
\n00:23:13,320 –> 00:23:14,600
\ntotal.
\nThis is more work. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:23:15,480 –> 00:23:17,840
\nWho’s this guy?
\nSee, the Pharisees expected a <\/p>\n
388
\n00:23:17,840 –> 00:23:21,600
\nMessiah to come on the scene and
\nto look at them and to say you <\/p>\n
389
\n00:23:21,600 –> 00:23:27,080
\nguys are masters of the law.
\nWell done, well done, scribes <\/p>\n
390
\n00:23:27,080 –> 00:23:29,560
\nand Pharisees.
\nYou have worked the law <\/p>\n
391
\n00:23:29,560 –> 00:23:31,960
\nperfectly.
\nAnd here comes this man claiming<\/p>\n
392
\n00:23:31,960 –> 00:23:34,520
\nto be the Messiah and saying
\ncompletely the opposite. <\/p>\n
393
\n00:23:35,520 –> 00:23:39,360
\nThis guy’s not the Messiah.
\nThey said this guy’s fake. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:23:40,480 –> 00:23:43,080
\nAnd so they noticed, they
\nmurmured, they challenged, they <\/p>\n
395
\n00:23:43,080 –> 00:23:45,600
\ntrapped, they schemed, and they
\nsought to destroy. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:23:46,440 –> 00:23:50,000
\nSo these are the Pharisees that
\nwe’re going to look at in our <\/p>\n
397
\n00:23:50,000 –> 00:23:52,920
\nsession today.
\nIn Luke’s account, we saw <\/p>\n
398
\n00:23:52,920 –> 00:23:58,240
\nalready there are three
\ninstances of meals that Christ <\/p>\n
399
\n00:23:58,240 –> 00:24:01,760
\nhas with the Pharisees.
\nThe first we’re going to look at<\/p>\n
400
\n00:24:01,760 –> 00:24:05,160
\nHe’s touched by a Sinner.
\nThe second we’re going to look <\/p>\n
401
\n00:24:05,160 –> 00:24:10,080
\nat He didn’t wash before eating.
\nHow dare he? <\/p>\n
402
\n00:24:10,840 –> 00:24:13,400
\nThe next we’re going to look at
\nis he sits down with the chief <\/p>\n
403
\n00:24:13,680 –> 00:24:19,200
\nPharisee, and the chief Pharisee
\nwatches as he does work on the <\/p>\n
404
\n00:24:19,200 –> 00:24:22,360
\nSabbath.
\nWe’re going to look at these <\/p>\n
405
\n00:24:22,400 –> 00:24:25,520
\nthree accounts now.
\nIt’s important to remember Jesus<\/p>\n
406
\n00:24:25,520 –> 00:24:33,360
\ncame to heal the sick, to seek
\nthe lost, to bring fruits to <\/p>\n
407
\n00:24:33,360 –> 00:24:37,440
\nrepentance to everyone.
\nEveryone was lost. <\/p>\n
408
\n00:24:38,400 –> 00:24:45,360
\nChrist eats with sinners and He
\neats with Pharisees who forsake <\/p>\n
409
\n00:24:45,360 –> 00:24:46,920
\na confusion.
\nBy the way, we’re also sinners. <\/p>\n
410
\n00:24:47,440 –> 00:24:50,360
\nHopefully we’re aware of that.
\nHe eats with everyone because <\/p>\n
411
\n00:24:50,360 –> 00:24:53,440
\neveryone who comes to the table
\nsins. <\/p>\n
412
\n00:24:55,040 –> 00:24:57,640
\nBut remember, the Pharisees were
\nthis group that we categorized <\/p>\n
413
\n00:24:57,640 –> 00:25:01,160
\nearlier as super lost.
\nWhen Christ would speak a <\/p>\n
414
\n00:25:01,160 –> 00:25:04,360
\nparable at the table, they would
\nsay, man, I really hope the <\/p>\n
415
\n00:25:04,360 –> 00:25:07,960
\nsinners are listening right now.
\nThey could learn a lot from this<\/p>\n
416
\n00:25:07,960 –> 00:25:11,720
\nguy, but we would, we would
\nnever do that, would we? <\/p>\n
417
\n00:25:11,880 –> 00:25:13,840
\nWould we come to the table of
\nChrist? <\/p>\n
418
\n00:25:14,760 –> 00:25:18,560
\nSo Jesus again has eight
\nspecific meals and three of them<\/p>\n
419
\n00:25:18,560 –> 00:25:21,280
\nare with Pharisees.
\nKeep in mind, the mindset of the<\/p>\n
420
\n00:25:21,280 –> 00:25:25,600
\nPharisees at this time is what
\nthey might do to Jesus. <\/p>\n
421
\n00:25:26,680 –> 00:25:29,120
\nThis is this is the progress
\nthat they’ve made it in their <\/p>\n
422
\n00:25:29,120 –> 00:25:32,960
\nminds what they might do, how
\nthey might destroy him. <\/p>\n
423
\n00:25:33,160 –> 00:25:35,000
\nLet’s take a look at the first
\nmeal. <\/p>\n
424
\n00:25:35,240 –> 00:25:39,360
\nLuke Chapter 7 we enter the
\nfirst Pharisees house. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:25:39,680 –> 00:25:43,960
\nKeep in mind the context.
\nLuke 7 verse 31 and the Lord <\/p>\n
426
\n00:25:43,960 –> 00:25:46,280
\nsaid whereunto shall I like in
\nthe men of this generation? <\/p>\n
427
\n00:25:46,280 –> 00:25:48,400
\nWhat do they like?
\nHe says they’re like the <\/p>\n
428
\n00:25:48,400 –> 00:25:50,520
\nchildren sitting in the
\nmarketplace and calling 1 to <\/p>\n
429
\n00:25:50,520 –> 00:25:53,920
\nanother verse 33 John the
\nBaptist came. <\/p>\n
430
\n00:25:54,080 –> 00:25:56,360
\nHe didn’t eat, he didn’t even
\ndrink. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:25:56,520 –> 00:25:59,160
\nNow what do you call him?
\nYou say he has a devil. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:26:00,320 –> 00:26:02,440
\nInteresting.
\nHe doesn’t eat or drink and you <\/p>\n
433
\n00:26:02,440 –> 00:26:05,160
\nsay he’s got a devil.
\nI come, son of man comes verse <\/p>\n
434
\n00:26:05,160 –> 00:26:08,720
\n34, eating and drinking, and you
\nsay, look, he’s a glutton and a <\/p>\n
435
\n00:26:08,720 –> 00:26:12,000
\ndrunkard, a friend of publicans
\nand sinners. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:26:12,000 –> 00:26:13,880
\nWhat wisdom is justified of all
\nher children? <\/p>\n
437
\n00:26:14,120 –> 00:26:17,520
\nFood is everywhere in Luke.
\nIt’s all over the place. <\/p>\n
438
\n00:26:18,800 –> 00:26:22,600
\nWe keep talking about the food,
\nthe eating, the drinking. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:26:23,240 –> 00:26:27,160
\nSo we come then to the House of
\nthe first Pharisee, verse 36 and<\/p>\n
440
\n00:26:27,160 –> 00:26:31,920
\none of the Pharisees desired him
\nthat he would eat with him. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:26:31,920 –> 00:26:34,920
\nKeep in mind the mindset where
\nare we at as as the Pharisees? <\/p>\n
442
\n00:26:35,680 –> 00:26:37,640
\nWell, we’re we’re in a scheming
\nphase. <\/p>\n
443
\n00:26:37,640 –> 00:26:38,720
\nHow are we going to trap this
\nguy? <\/p>\n
444
\n00:26:39,720 –> 00:26:41,680
\nHe desired Him that He would eat
\nthem and he went into the <\/p>\n
445
\n00:26:41,680 –> 00:26:45,760
\nPharisees house and he sat down
\nto meet to behold a woman of the<\/p>\n
446
\n00:26:45,760 –> 00:26:51,360
\ncity, which was a Sinner, when
\nshe knew that Jesus sat at me at<\/p>\n
447
\n00:26:51,360 –> 00:26:54,440
\nthe Pharisees house, brought an
\nalabaster box of ointment. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:26:54,800 –> 00:26:58,840
\nShe stood at his feet behind him
\nweeping and began to wash his <\/p>\n
449
\n00:26:58,840 –> 00:27:01,920
\nfeet with tears.
\nShe wiped them with the hairs of<\/p>\n
450
\n00:27:01,920 –> 00:27:04,400
\nher head and kissed his feet and
\nanointed them with the ointment.<\/p>\n
451
\n00:27:05,320 –> 00:27:10,480
\nThis is the story of an amazing
\nsign of repentance, this woman <\/p>\n
452
\n00:27:10,480 –> 00:27:15,600
\nhere she entered the house.
\nDo you think she knew how the <\/p>\n
453
\n00:27:15,600 –> 00:27:18,080
\nPharisees viewed her?
\nOf course she did. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:27:18,840 –> 00:27:22,360
\nDo you think it took tremendous
\ncourage and brought tremendous <\/p>\n
455
\n00:27:22,360 –> 00:27:26,560
\nshame for her to do that act?
\nOf course it did. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:27:27,400 –> 00:27:29,600
\nIt didn’t matter.
\nThat man could bring <\/p>\n
457
\n00:27:29,600 –> 00:27:33,600
\nforgiveness, and she knew she
\nneeded to repent. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:27:34,000 –> 00:27:38,160
\nSo she comes in, she anoints
\nhim, she washes his feet with <\/p>\n
459
\n00:27:38,160 –> 00:27:44,560
\nher hair and her tears.
\nAnd the Pharisee looks at this <\/p>\n
460
\n00:27:44,560 –> 00:27:54,600
\nand says, this man, if he were
\nactually a prophet, who would <\/p>\n
461
\n00:27:54,600 –> 00:28:01,200
\nhave known who in what manner of
\nwoman this is that touches him, <\/p>\n
462
\n00:28:03,000 –> 00:28:07,520
\nfor she is a Sinner.
\nAnd he thinks this in his mind. <\/p>\n
463
\n00:28:08,080 –> 00:28:09,880
\nNow we’ve already seen
\ninstances. <\/p>\n
464
\n00:28:10,360 –> 00:28:17,640
\nWhat can Jesus do?
\nHe can read the minds and he is <\/p>\n
465
\n00:28:17,640 –> 00:28:22,280
\nthinking if this man were
\nactually who he says he was, he <\/p>\n
466
\n00:28:22,280 –> 00:28:25,120
\nwould know that this woman is
\ndisgusting. <\/p>\n
467
\n00:28:26,320 –> 00:28:29,680
\nHe would not allow this to
\nhappen. <\/p>\n
468
\n00:28:31,160 –> 00:28:37,360
\nAnd Jesus answering his thoughts
\nsays Simon, I have something to <\/p>\n
469
\n00:28:37,360 –> 00:28:41,280
\nsay to you.
\nAnd he says, Master say on Jesus<\/p>\n
470
\n00:28:41,280 –> 00:28:45,120
\nintroduces the conversation.
\nJesus starts it and he says <\/p>\n
471
\n00:28:45,360 –> 00:28:48,000
\nthere was a certain creditor
\nwhich had two debtors. <\/p>\n
472
\n00:28:48,480 –> 00:28:50,720
\nThere we have a creditor and two
\ndebtors. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:28:51,240 –> 00:28:55,880
\nYou guess who’s who In this
\nparable, the one owed 500 pence <\/p>\n
474
\n00:28:55,880 –> 00:28:58,000
\nand the other 50.
\nWhen they had nothing to pay, <\/p>\n
475
\n00:28:58,120 –> 00:29:01,680
\nthey both couldn’t pay.
\nHe frankly forgave them both. <\/p>\n
476
\n00:29:01,840 –> 00:29:04,160
\nTell me therefore, Simon, which
\nof them will love him the most? <\/p>\n
477
\n00:29:04,160 –> 00:29:08,280
\nSimon answered and said, Well, I
\nsuppose that he to whom he <\/p>\n
478
\n00:29:08,280 –> 00:29:11,440
\nforgave the most, he said,
\nyou’re rightly judged. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:29:11,720 –> 00:29:15,800
\nAnd he turns to the woman, and
\nwhat does he say? <\/p>\n
480
\n00:29:18,440 –> 00:29:24,160
\nHe says, Simon, you see this
\nwoman, I entered your house. <\/p>\n
481
\n00:29:24,600 –> 00:29:26,200
\nYou gave me no water from my
\nfeet. <\/p>\n
482
\n00:29:26,400 –> 00:29:31,920
\nBut she’s washed them with her
\ntears, she’s wiped them with the<\/p>\n
483
\n00:29:31,920 –> 00:29:34,480
\nhairs of her head.
\nYou gave me no kiss, this woman,<\/p>\n
484
\n00:29:34,480 –> 00:29:38,880
\nsince the time I came, and hath
\nnot ceased to kiss my feet, my <\/p>\n
485
\n00:29:38,880 –> 00:29:40,880
\nhead.
\nHe didn’t anoint you with oil, <\/p>\n
486
\n00:29:41,120 –> 00:29:43,640
\nbut this woman anointed my feet
\nwith ointment. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:29:45,400 –> 00:29:50,600
\nWherefore I say unto thee, Her
\nsins, which are many, are <\/p>\n
488
\n00:29:50,640 –> 00:29:54,520
\nforgiven.
\nWhen you eat with Christ. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:29:55,040 –> 00:29:57,840
\nHe comes to call all to
\nrepentance. <\/p>\n
490
\n00:29:58,120 –> 00:30:03,280
\nHe comes to heal the sick, for
\nshe loved much, but to whom <\/p>\n
491
\n00:30:03,280 –> 00:30:05,320
\nlittle is forgiven, the same
\nloveth little. <\/p>\n
492
\n00:30:05,320 –> 00:30:08,840
\nHe said to her, your sins are
\nforgiven. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:30:09,480 –> 00:30:11,560
\nAnd they that sat with him at
\nthe table said, who is this that<\/p>\n
494
\n00:30:11,560 –> 00:30:17,600
\nforgive sins?
\nAlso, We had two debtors, one <\/p>\n
495
\n00:30:17,600 –> 00:30:21,880
\nwho owed 500 pence, the other
\nwho owed 50. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:30:22,920 –> 00:30:25,440
\nDoes he forgive the one who owes
\n500? <\/p>\n
497
\n00:30:25,640 –> 00:30:29,160
\nAnd say to the one with 50, it’s
\nonly 50, You can make it up. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:30:29,520 –> 00:30:31,520
\nI know you could pay that back,
\njust work a little harder. <\/p>\n
499
\n00:30:31,600 –> 00:30:32,840
\nIs that what he does in the
\nparable? <\/p>\n
500
\n00:30:34,120 –> 00:30:35,960
\nHe says both of them are
\nforgiven. <\/p>\n
501
\n00:30:36,320 –> 00:30:41,000
\nWho is this parable directed to?
\nMostly it’s to Simon, the one <\/p>\n
502
\n00:30:41,000 –> 00:30:44,320
\nwho owed 50.
\nHe says, Simon, it’s your chance<\/p>\n
503
\n00:30:44,320 –> 00:30:47,960
\nnow to repent.
\nBoth were forgiven. <\/p>\n
504
\n00:30:47,960 –> 00:30:53,480
\nThe debt, This woman here who
\nowed 500, she’s forgiven. <\/p>\n
505
\n00:30:54,560 –> 00:30:56,600
\nDo you want to be the man who
\nowes 50? <\/p>\n
506
\n00:30:57,680 –> 00:31:02,880
\nAnd what does the Pharisee do?
\nI’m not a Sinner. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:31:03,880 –> 00:31:08,120
\nI don’t need repentance.
\nHe had the opportunity there to <\/p>\n
508
\n00:31:08,120 –> 00:31:13,080
\nfall down and repent and be
\nforgiven, but he loved little. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:31:14,960 –> 00:31:19,120
\nThe principle is that if if you
\nhave 1000 sins or 10 sins, <\/p>\n
510
\n00:31:19,200 –> 00:31:21,880
\neveryone needs forgiveness.
\nThat’s why Christ came. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:31:22,600 –> 00:31:25,520
\nForgiveness comes down to the
\nattitude that you have. <\/p>\n
512
\n00:31:26,400 –> 00:31:30,720
\nIs your attitude one of man?
\nI really hope that that person <\/p>\n
513
\n00:31:30,720 –> 00:31:33,680
\nthere knows forgiveness is an
\noption. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:31:34,520 –> 00:31:38,280
\nOr is it?
\nI’d be lost without forgiveness.<\/p>\n
515
\n00:31:39,720 –> 00:31:42,400
\nLet’s look at our second meal.
\nOur second meal is in Luke <\/p>\n
516
\n00:31:42,400 –> 00:31:44,360
\nChapter 11.
\nAgain, we’re going to eat with a<\/p>\n
517
\n00:31:44,360 –> 00:31:46,680
\nPharisee.
\nLuke Chapter 11. <\/p>\n
518
\n00:31:46,680 –> 00:31:52,360
\nIt says in Luke 11 verse 37 it
\nsays and as he spake, a certain <\/p>\n
519
\n00:31:52,360 –> 00:31:55,320
\nPharisee besought him to dine
\nwith him and he went in and sat <\/p>\n
520
\n00:31:55,320 –> 00:31:59,360
\ndown to meet and when the
\nPharisees sought he marvelled <\/p>\n
521
\n00:31:59,360 –> 00:32:02,640
\nthat he had not first washed
\nbefore dinner. <\/p>\n
522
\n00:32:02,920 –> 00:32:07,480
\nSo this Pharisee says come on in
\nand he watches Jesus. <\/p>\n
523
\n00:32:08,480 –> 00:32:10,360
\nRemember what the Pharisees
\nmindset was. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:32:10,480 –> 00:32:16,960
\nHe watches Jesus and says, this
\nman didn’t wash before dinner, <\/p>\n
525
\n00:32:17,760 –> 00:32:23,160
\nand when the Pharisees sought,
\nhe marvelled verse 39, the Lord <\/p>\n
526
\n00:32:23,160 –> 00:32:27,120
\nsaid unto him again, maybe
\nthere’s some mind reading going <\/p>\n
527
\n00:32:27,120 –> 00:32:30,720
\non here.
\nNow do you Pharisees make clean <\/p>\n
528
\n00:32:30,720 –> 00:32:33,960
\nthe outside of the cup and of
\nthe platter? <\/p>\n
529
\n00:32:34,240 –> 00:32:37,480
\nBut your inward part is full of
\nravening and wickedness. <\/p>\n
530
\n00:32:39,200 –> 00:32:42,800
\nYe fools, did not he that made
\nthat which is without make that <\/p>\n
531
\n00:32:42,800 –> 00:32:46,040
\nwhich is within also.
\nNow the principle we’re going to<\/p>\n
532
\n00:32:46,080 –> 00:32:49,120
\njust dash through this one.
\nThe principle of this Pharisee <\/p>\n
533
\n00:32:49,120 –> 00:32:53,640
\nis that the good on that shows
\non the outside must match the <\/p>\n
534
\n00:32:53,640 –> 00:32:55,200
\ninside.
\nChrist taught that the <\/p>\n
535
\n00:32:55,200 –> 00:32:59,320
\nPharisees, you, you, you don’t
\never do as they do, even though <\/p>\n
536
\n00:32:59,400 –> 00:33:02,000
\nyou listen to what they say.
\nThat was His principle at the <\/p>\n
537
\n00:33:02,000 –> 00:33:05,320
\nbeginning of Luke.
\nBut what they do, do not, for <\/p>\n
538
\n00:33:05,320 –> 00:33:06,960
\nthey do their works to be seen
\nof men. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:33:07,080 –> 00:33:09,280
\nThey do things to be seen of
\nmen. <\/p>\n
540
\n00:33:09,320 –> 00:33:15,960
\nThey look great on the outside,
\nbut inside is disgusting. <\/p>\n
541
\n00:33:16,400 –> 00:33:23,800
\nAnd so Christ comes in unwashing
\nUnwashen, but his inside was <\/p>\n
542
\n00:33:24,080 –> 00:33:27,800
\nperfect.
\nHe demonstrates this principle. <\/p>\n
543
\n00:33:28,520 –> 00:33:30,960
\nThe good that shows on the
\noutside has to match what’s on <\/p>\n
544
\n00:33:30,960 –> 00:33:32,640
\nthe inside.
\nAnd that’s the point of the <\/p>\n
545
\n00:33:32,640 –> 00:33:34,880
\nsecond Pharisee.
\nLet’s go to into our third, our <\/p>\n
546
\n00:33:34,880 –> 00:33:39,880
\nfinal meal with a Pharisee.
\nWe’re in Luke chapter 14, midway<\/p>\n
547
\n00:33:39,880 –> 00:33:43,840
\nthrough the journey, according
\nto the text first one, and it <\/p>\n
548
\n00:33:43,840 –> 00:33:46,560
\ncame to pass as he went into the
\nHouse of one of the chief <\/p>\n
549
\n00:33:46,560 –> 00:33:48,720
\nPharisees.
\nWe’ve now elevated ourselves to <\/p>\n
550
\n00:33:48,720 –> 00:33:51,520
\nchief Pharisees inviting us over
\nfor a meal. <\/p>\n
551
\n00:33:54,120 –> 00:34:03,240
\nIt’s the Sabbath day, verse one,
\nand they’re watching him, verse <\/p>\n
552
\n00:34:03,240 –> 00:34:04,440
\n2.
\nAnd behold, there was a certain <\/p>\n
553
\n00:34:04,440 –> 00:34:06,800
\nman before him which had the
\ndropsy. <\/p>\n
554
\n00:34:08,840 –> 00:34:12,639
\nHow do you suppose a man with
\nthe disease was planted there? <\/p>\n
555
\n00:34:14,800 –> 00:34:18,600
\nHow do you suppose a man like
\nthat found his way to a banquet <\/p>\n
556
\n00:34:19,040 –> 00:34:22,560
\nwith not just any Pharisee, but
\nthe chief Pharisee? <\/p>\n
557
\n00:34:23,600 –> 00:34:24,920
\nAnd what are they doing?
\nWatching. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:34:24,920 –> 00:34:29,920
\nWhat are they watching him for?
\nLook at where the Pharisees have<\/p>\n
559
\n00:34:29,920 –> 00:34:33,520
\ngotten now.
\nThey’ve put this man and they’re<\/p>\n
560
\n00:34:33,520 –> 00:34:37,040
\nwatching him carefully build.
\nThis was a great idea. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:34:37,040 –> 00:34:39,800
\nWe’re going to get him today.
\nIt’s the Sabbath, He’s going to <\/p>\n
562
\n00:34:39,800 –> 00:34:41,400
\nheal and this is just who Jesus
\nis. <\/p>\n
563
\n00:34:41,719 –> 00:34:43,520
\nMan.
\nThey missed who Jesus was. <\/p>\n
564
\n00:34:43,960 –> 00:34:47,800
\nHere’s a man who could heal on
\nthe Sabbath and they’re trying <\/p>\n
565
\n00:34:47,800 –> 00:34:51,760
\nto catch him for it.
\nMan, brothers and sisters, we <\/p>\n
566
\n00:34:51,760 –> 00:34:53,320
\nreally need to look inside
\nsometimes. <\/p>\n
567
\n00:34:54,719 –> 00:34:56,880
\nThere was a certain man before
\nthen which had the dropsy and <\/p>\n
568
\n00:34:56,880 –> 00:35:00,160
\nJesus, he breaks the ice.
\nHe introduces the topic before <\/p>\n
569
\n00:35:00,160 –> 00:35:02,640
\nthey can say a word and says
\nit’s unlawful to heal on the <\/p>\n
570
\n00:35:02,640 –> 00:35:04,160
\nSabbath day.
\nWhat do they say? <\/p>\n
571
\n00:35:05,920 –> 00:35:10,120
\nYou’re right, nothing.
\nThey say absolutely nothing <\/p>\n
572
\n00:35:10,200 –> 00:35:13,280
\nbecause if they say yes, he
\nwould say perfect. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:35:13,400 –> 00:35:15,520
\nIf they say no, he would say
\nprove it. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:35:15,600 –> 00:35:18,240
\nAnd what would they say?
\nRight Again, nothing. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:35:18,880 –> 00:35:24,440
\nThe law says nothing about this.
\nSo he says, verse four. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:35:24,440 –> 00:35:28,960
\nThey held their peace and by
\ntheir silence they knew and they<\/p>\n
577
\n00:35:28,960 –> 00:35:36,320
\nshowed there was no law.
\nAnd he took him, healed him, let<\/p>\n
578
\n00:35:36,320 –> 00:35:37,520
\nhim go.
\nVerse four. <\/p>\n
579
\n00:35:38,840 –> 00:35:42,440
\nAnd then he says, which of you
\nshall have an ass or an ox fall <\/p>\n
580
\n00:35:42,440 –> 00:35:43,880
\ninto a pit?
\nWell, not straightway. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:35:43,880 –> 00:35:45,840
\nPull him out of the Sabbath day
\nagain and guess what they say <\/p>\n
582
\n00:35:45,840 –> 00:35:51,760
\nnow, right again, nothing.
\nThis was a pretty one sided <\/p>\n
583
\n00:35:51,760 –> 00:35:56,520
\nconversation this evening.
\nIt would have been the most <\/p>\n
584
\n00:35:56,520 –> 00:35:58,440
\nhumbling thing to have a meal
\nwith Christ. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:35:59,480 –> 00:36:08,480
\nThe most humbling thing, but He
\nbrings to them a law. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:36:10,000 –> 00:36:13,520
\nWhich of you shall have an
\nastronauts fall into a pit, will<\/p>\n
587
\n00:36:13,520 –> 00:36:15,880
\nnot straightway pull them out on
\nthe Sabbath day. <\/p>\n
588
\n00:36:16,640 –> 00:36:22,680
\nNow did anybody here see in
\nverse three who He directs the <\/p>\n
589
\n00:36:22,680 –> 00:36:26,520
\nquestion to?
\nWho comes first? <\/p>\n
590
\n00:36:28,880 –> 00:36:31,120
\nIt’s the lawyers and the
\nPharisees. <\/p>\n
591
\n00:36:31,120 –> 00:36:35,440
\nIt’s those people who claim to
\nbe experts in the law who also <\/p>\n
592
\n00:36:35,440 –> 00:36:36,560
\njoin him for this dinner
\ntonight. <\/p>\n
593
\n00:36:36,560 –> 00:36:38,560
\nOf course, you need experts in
\nthe law if you’re going to try <\/p>\n
594
\n00:36:38,560 –> 00:36:40,720
\nto catch him on the Sabbath, a
\nthing of the law. <\/p>\n
595
\n00:36:40,960 –> 00:36:43,840
\nSo they bring the experts, the
\nlaw, the lawyers, and they bring<\/p>\n
596
\n00:36:43,840 –> 00:36:45,960
\nthe Pharisees.
\nAnd he says to the lawyers and <\/p>\n
597
\n00:36:45,960 –> 00:36:48,960
\nthe Pharisees these questions.
\nWhat he’s doing is he’s quoting <\/p>\n
598
\n00:36:48,960 –> 00:36:51,080
\na verse from Deuteronomy.
\nCome with me, if you would, to <\/p>\n
599
\n00:36:51,080 –> 00:36:53,600
\nDeuteronomy chapter 22.
\nWe probably have this in our <\/p>\n
600
\n00:36:53,600 –> 00:36:54,880
\nmargin.
\nIf you don’t, it’s worth jotting<\/p>\n
601
\n00:36:54,880 –> 00:36:57,240
\nit down.
\nDeuteronomy 22 He’s going to <\/p>\n
602
\n00:36:57,240 –> 00:37:02,720
\nfight the law with the law.
\nDeuteronomy 22 first 4 verses <\/p>\n
603
\n00:37:04,480 –> 00:37:07,240
\nYou shall not see your brother’s
\nox or his sheep go astray and <\/p>\n
604
\n00:37:07,240 –> 00:37:10,400
\nhide thyself from them.
\nThou shalt in any case bring <\/p>\n
605
\n00:37:10,400 –> 00:37:18,080
\nthem again to your brother.
\nIf you see brother Pete, his ox <\/p>\n
606
\n00:37:18,080 –> 00:37:22,920
\ngoing astray and you go, that’s
\nPete’s ox again. <\/p>\n
607
\n00:37:23,680 –> 00:37:26,000
\nWhat you don’t do is you don’t
\nsay, I didn’t see it. <\/p>\n
608
\n00:37:28,000 –> 00:37:29,240
\nI’m not going to do anything
\nabout it. <\/p>\n
609
\n00:37:29,280 –> 00:37:33,560
\nThe law says you get it and you
\nbring it back to Brother Pete. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:37:35,160 –> 00:37:38,880
\nVerse 2.
\nAnd if thy brother be not nigh <\/p>\n
611
\n00:37:38,880 –> 00:37:42,200
\nunto thee, or if you don’t know
\nhim, then thou shalt bring it <\/p>\n
612
\n00:37:42,200 –> 00:37:44,560
\nunto your own house, and it
\nshall be with you until your <\/p>\n
613
\n00:37:44,560 –> 00:37:47,040
\nbrother seek after it, and thou
\nshalt restore it to him again. <\/p>\n
614
\n00:37:47,640 –> 00:37:52,640
\nSo if you’re walking and you see
\nand you go, I actually have no <\/p>\n
615
\n00:37:52,640 –> 00:37:56,600
\nidea whose ox this is.
\nWhat you don’t do is hope they <\/p>\n
616
\n00:37:56,600 –> 00:38:01,360
\nfind it.
\nYou bring it home and you pay <\/p>\n
617
\n00:38:01,360 –> 00:38:05,160
\nfor the food.
\nYou take care of it until Uncle <\/p>\n
618
\n00:38:05,160 –> 00:38:07,920
\nPete comes and says, hey, you’ve
\nseen an extra cow roaming <\/p>\n
619
\n00:38:07,920 –> 00:38:10,680
\naround.
\nYeah, I, I, I have it. <\/p>\n
620
\n00:38:10,800 –> 00:38:12,720
\nHere it is.
\nThat’s the law. <\/p>\n
621
\n00:38:14,200 –> 00:38:16,400
\nVerse 3.
\nIn like manner shalt thou do <\/p>\n
622
\n00:38:16,400 –> 00:38:19,560
\nwith his donkey, and so shall
\nyou do with his clothes and with<\/p>\n
623
\n00:38:19,560 –> 00:38:21,840
\nevery lost thing of your
\nbrothers which he hath lost. <\/p>\n
624
\n00:38:22,040 –> 00:38:26,400
\nInteresting, isn’t it?
\nAnything that your brother’s <\/p>\n
625
\n00:38:26,400 –> 00:38:34,440
\nlost and which you have found
\nshalt you do likewise. <\/p>\n
626
\n00:38:34,680 –> 00:38:39,920
\nThou mayest not hide yourself.
\nSo what is he doing with genomic<\/p>\n
627
\n00:38:39,920 –> 00:38:43,200
\n22 one through three?
\nWell, is this the exact way that<\/p>\n
628
\n00:38:43,200 –> 00:38:46,400
\nhe phrases it in Luke 14?
\nNo, no, he says. <\/p>\n
629
\n00:38:46,400 –> 00:38:48,960
\nIf you find your own, of course
\nyou’re going to pick it up. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:38:49,040 –> 00:38:53,800
\nWhat does the law say?
\nYou find your brothers, you pick<\/p>\n
631
\n00:38:53,800 –> 00:38:56,520
\nit up.
\nOf course you’d pick up your <\/p>\n
632
\n00:38:56,520 –> 00:38:58,640
\nown, but the law says you
\nactually also get your brothers.<\/p>\n
633
\n00:38:59,320 –> 00:39:02,480
\nVerse 4.
\nThou shalt not see your <\/p>\n
634
\n00:39:02,480 –> 00:39:09,960
\nbrother’s ass or his ox fall
\ndown, by the way, and hide <\/p>\n
635
\n00:39:09,960 –> 00:39:16,000
\nyourself from them.
\nThou shalt surely help him to <\/p>\n
636
\n00:39:16,000 –> 00:39:20,640
\nlift them up again.
\nSo as he poses this question to <\/p>\n
637
\n00:39:20,640 –> 00:39:25,680
\nthe experts in the law, of
\ncourse they couldn’t answer him <\/p>\n
638
\n00:39:25,680 –> 00:39:28,400
\nanything.
\nThe law said, not only do you of<\/p>\n
639
\n00:39:28,400 –> 00:39:29,400
\ncourse going to pick up your
\nown. <\/p>\n
640
\n00:39:29,400 –> 00:39:31,640
\nThat’s common sense.
\nBut if you see your brothers, <\/p>\n
641
\n00:39:31,720 –> 00:39:34,040
\nyou pick him up.
\nSo as this man with the dropsy <\/p>\n
642
\n00:39:34,040 –> 00:39:39,520
\ncomes in, who’s actually failing
\nthat evening, it was the <\/p>\n
643
\n00:39:39,520 –> 00:39:42,280
\nPharisees and the and the
\nlawyers, They were the ones who <\/p>\n
644
\n00:39:42,280 –> 00:39:45,280
\nwere supposed to help this man.
\nThe law says care for your <\/p>\n
645
\n00:39:45,280 –> 00:39:47,760
\nbrother.
\nDon’t pretend like you don’t <\/p>\n
646
\n00:39:47,760 –> 00:39:53,880
\nnotice it.
\nHe’s lost, you help him, says <\/p>\n
647
\n00:39:53,880 –> 00:39:57,760
\nthe law.
\nIt would have been very humbling<\/p>\n
648
\n00:39:59,440 –> 00:40:02,080
\nto have a meal with Jesus,
\nwouldn’t it? <\/p>\n
649
\n00:40:06,240 –> 00:40:10,720
\nAnd he put forth a parable to
\nthose which were bidden when he <\/p>\n
650
\n00:40:10,800 –> 00:40:15,240
\nsaw how they chose the chief
\nrooms, the chief seats. <\/p>\n
651
\n00:40:15,240 –> 00:40:19,360
\nHe’s saying to them when you’re
\nbidden of any man to a wedding. <\/p>\n
652
\n00:40:20,160 –> 00:40:22,480
\nSit not down in the highest
\nroom, lest a more honorable man <\/p>\n
653
\n00:40:22,480 –> 00:40:24,440
\nthan thou be bidden of thee of
\nbidden of him. <\/p>\n
654
\n00:40:24,440 –> 00:40:27,960
\nAnd he that bade thee and him
\ncome and say to thee, give this <\/p>\n
655
\n00:40:27,960 –> 00:40:30,440
\nman place, and you know you have
\nshame, have to take a lower <\/p>\n
656
\n00:40:30,440 –> 00:40:32,920
\nseat.
\nAnd when you are bidden, you sit<\/p>\n
657
\n00:40:32,920 –> 00:40:36,800
\nin the lower, so that you may be
\nhonored and elevated for. <\/p>\n
658
\n00:40:36,800 –> 00:40:38,640
\nVerse 11.
\nFor whosoever exalted themselves<\/p>\n
659
\n00:40:38,640 –> 00:40:41,200
\nshould be a based, neither
\nhumbleth himself shall be <\/p>\n
660
\n00:40:41,200 –> 00:40:42,440
\nexalted.
\nThis was the principle of <\/p>\n
661
\n00:40:42,440 –> 00:40:43,680
\nyesterday learning to work
\ntogether. <\/p>\n
662
\n00:40:45,360 –> 00:40:49,360
\nAnd the principle is salvation’s
\noffered to everyone. <\/p>\n
663
\n00:40:49,360 –> 00:40:51,240
\nThat’s what the law claims.
\nIt’s for your brother. <\/p>\n
664
\n00:40:51,320 –> 00:40:54,200
\nIt’s for everybody at the table
\nwho comes with Christ. <\/p>\n
665
\n00:40:54,240 –> 00:40:56,880
\nNow, we don’t have time to go
\nover them, but there are two <\/p>\n
666
\n00:40:56,880 –> 00:40:59,960
\nparables right after this.
\nThe parable of the wedding <\/p>\n
667
\n00:40:59,960 –> 00:41:04,920
\nfeast, about eating.
\nThe parable of the great <\/p>\n
668
\n00:41:04,920 –> 00:41:08,560
\nbanquet, Guess what?
\nThat’s about eating. <\/p>\n
669
\n00:41:10,280 –> 00:41:15,000
\nJesus watched all these most
\nimportant people at the meal <\/p>\n
670
\n00:41:15,440 –> 00:41:18,000
\nscurrying around trying to get
\nthe best seat nearest to this <\/p>\n
671
\n00:41:18,080 –> 00:41:19,840
\nchief rabbi who’s hosting the
\nmeal. <\/p>\n
672
\n00:41:19,840 –> 00:41:22,320
\nAnd he gives him the parable,
\nthe wedding feast. <\/p>\n
673
\n00:41:22,800 –> 00:41:26,160
\nAnd then he, he sees this
\ncontinue and he gives the <\/p>\n
674
\n00:41:26,160 –> 00:41:29,960
\nparable, the great banquet.
\nHe says, don’t invite people to <\/p>\n
675
\n00:41:29,960 –> 00:41:32,760
\nyour meal who will invite you
\nback. <\/p>\n
676
\n00:41:33,320 –> 00:41:35,040
\nThat’s not why you do these
\nthings. <\/p>\n
677
\n00:41:36,040 –> 00:41:39,680
\nThe whole theme of the Sabbath,
\nthis was a Sabbath feast. <\/p>\n
678
\n00:41:40,840 –> 00:41:42,920
\nThis is the day of giving back
\nto Yahweh. <\/p>\n
679
\n00:41:44,000 –> 00:41:47,120
\nThat’s the Sabbath’s about.
\nAnd he then invites. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:41:47,920 –> 00:41:50,400
\nHe then goes over the parable of
\nthe great banquet and further, <\/p>\n
681
\n00:41:51,600 –> 00:41:55,000
\nand just like the chief Pharisee
\nholds a banquet and invites many<\/p>\n
682
\n00:41:55,000 –> 00:41:58,960
\nguests, He says, what if nobody
\nshowed up for your banquet? <\/p>\n
683
\n00:42:00,120 –> 00:42:03,480
\nHe says, just like the parable
\nof the great banquet, he goes <\/p>\n
684
\n00:42:03,480 –> 00:42:06,120
\nout and he finds anybody who
\nwould come in. <\/p>\n
685
\n00:42:07,400 –> 00:42:09,400
\nAgain, we don’t have time to go
\nover those in too much detail. <\/p>\n
686
\n00:42:09,400 –> 00:42:14,520
\nSo we look at these three.
\nThe first, Christ is touched by <\/p>\n
687
\n00:42:14,520 –> 00:42:17,720
\na Sinner.
\nThe second he didn’t wash, and <\/p>\n
688
\n00:42:18,200 –> 00:42:20,600
\nthen the third, he did work on
\nthe Sabbath. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:42:20,760 –> 00:42:27,640
\nHe was really showing that he
\nwas breaking all these terrible <\/p>\n
690
\n00:42:27,640 –> 00:42:33,360
\nlaws.
\nNo came to heal everybody. <\/p>\n
691
\n00:42:33,360 –> 00:42:36,000
\nHe called the poor, He called
\nthe sick, He called the sinners,<\/p>\n
692
\n00:42:36,080 –> 00:42:38,520
\nHe called the lost.
\nThe invitation is accepted to <\/p>\n
693
\n00:42:38,600 –> 00:42:42,280
\neverybody.
\nIt’s comforting to know, isn’t <\/p>\n
694
\n00:42:42,280 –> 00:42:46,000
\nit?
\nThe invitation is open to <\/p>\n
695
\n00:42:46,080 –> 00:42:49,840
\neverybody.
\nIt was in a love for all. <\/p>\n
696
\n00:42:49,960 –> 00:42:52,640
\nHe didn’t ignore certain groups
\nof people. <\/p>\n
697
\n00:42:52,680 –> 00:42:54,240
\nHe didn’t even ignore the
\nPharisees. <\/p>\n
698
\n00:42:54,280 –> 00:42:57,520
\nHe does dine with them now.
\nJesus could dine with anybody He<\/p>\n
699
\n00:42:57,520 –> 00:43:02,440
\nneeded to for one purpose
\nbecause he brought with him <\/p>\n
700
\n00:43:03,120 –> 00:43:06,440
\nsalvation.
\nThat’s why Jesus could dine. <\/p>\n
701
\n00:43:06,560 –> 00:43:09,720
\nHe brought with him salvation.
\nHe says if you want to come to <\/p>\n
702
\n00:43:09,720 –> 00:43:15,640
\nthis table, come looking for
\nforgiveness, come with fruits of<\/p>\n
703
\n00:43:15,640 –> 00:43:19,480
\nrepentance.
\nWhen Jesus sat down with dine to<\/p>\n
704
\n00:43:19,480 –> 00:43:22,360
\ndine with people, he would never
\ndegrade. <\/p>\n
705
\n00:43:23,120 –> 00:43:25,720
\nHe would never belittle the
\ncommandments of God in this <\/p>\n
706
\n00:43:25,720 –> 00:43:28,560
\nbook.
\nHe would never compromise on <\/p>\n
707
\n00:43:28,560 –> 00:43:31,040
\ndivine principles.
\nWhen he sat down to eat. <\/p>\n
708
\n00:43:31,480 –> 00:43:34,840
\nHe would uphold them perfectly,
\nand he would use the principles <\/p>\n
709
\n00:43:34,840 –> 00:43:38,400
\nin this law to challenge others.
\nThat was why he sat down. <\/p>\n
710
\n00:43:40,000 –> 00:43:42,480
\nBrother Thomas, In his letters
\nBack and forth with Alexander <\/p>\n
711
\n00:43:42,480 –> 00:43:44,960
\nCampbell, 1835, he writes
\nsomething interesting. <\/p>\n
712
\n00:43:44,960 –> 00:43:49,400
\nHe says, Did he Christ bear arms
\nfor the destruction of men? <\/p>\n
713
\n00:43:49,840 –> 00:43:53,640
\nDid he mingle as a political
\nagitator in the paltry questions<\/p>\n
714
\n00:43:53,840 –> 00:43:59,000
\nof human policy, although he ate
\nwith sinners? <\/p>\n
715
\n00:43:59,960 –> 00:44:04,760
\nDid he make the swearer, the
\nfornicator, the debauchee, the <\/p>\n
716
\n00:44:04,760 –> 00:44:08,040
\ncompanions of his solitude?
\nDid he make these people the <\/p>\n
717
\n00:44:08,040 –> 00:44:13,800
\ncompanions of his solitude?
\nDid he degrade the image of God <\/p>\n
718
\n00:44:13,800 –> 00:44:17,920
\nby such conduct as this, by
\ncorrupt communications, by <\/p>\n
719
\n00:44:17,960 –> 00:44:20,280
\nunholy deeds?
\nThe answer? <\/p>\n
720
\n00:44:20,400 –> 00:44:24,000
\nOf course, no, neither must the
\nChristian if he would be an <\/p>\n
721
\n00:44:24,000 –> 00:44:26,680
\nacceptable imitator of the good
\none. <\/p>\n
722
\n00:44:27,200 –> 00:44:29,680
\nBut the Thomas points out that
\nwe have the same responsibility <\/p>\n
723
\n00:44:29,680 –> 00:44:34,280
\nin our lives.
\nWhat we’re not saying is that <\/p>\n
724
\n00:44:34,280 –> 00:44:37,280
\nwe’ll be corrupted if we
\nparticipate in these things. <\/p>\n
725
\n00:44:37,280 –> 00:44:40,280
\nWe’re not saying we need to
\ndegrade the commandments of God <\/p>\n
726
\n00:44:40,280 –> 00:44:41,560
\nto do so.
\nWe’re not saying that we <\/p>\n
727
\n00:44:41,560 –> 00:44:43,280
\ncompromise the biblical
\nprinciples. <\/p>\n
728
\n00:44:43,280 –> 00:44:45,080
\nNeither did Christ when he sat
\ndown and we ate with all these <\/p>\n
729
\n00:44:45,080 –> 00:44:48,440
\npeople.
\nThe principle for us is we show <\/p>\n
730
\n00:44:48,440 –> 00:44:50,680
\nlove knowing everyone is
\nsinners. <\/p>\n
731
\n00:44:52,360 –> 00:44:54,400
\nThe only one perfect is the Lord
\nJesus Christ who brought <\/p>\n
732
\n00:44:54,400 –> 00:45:02,400
\nforgiveness.
\nWould it be neat if you hadn’t <\/p>\n
733
\n00:45:02,720 –> 00:45:05,040
\nspoken with a brother or sister
\nin years? <\/p>\n
734
\n00:45:05,040 –> 00:45:08,280
\nYou haven’t communicated with
\nsomebody because of an issue <\/p>\n
735
\n00:45:08,280 –> 00:45:12,600
\nthat we had since such and such
\nan event happened, or since such<\/p>\n
736
\n00:45:12,600 –> 00:45:14,240
\nand such a person said this or
\nthat? <\/p>\n
737
\n00:45:15,280 –> 00:45:20,520
\nWhat if we were forced just to
\nhave them over for dinner? <\/p>\n
738
\n00:45:24,000 –> 00:45:26,200
\nWhat would happen if every time
\nwe had a spat or disagreement <\/p>\n
739
\n00:45:26,200 –> 00:45:28,800
\nwith someone, we were forced to
\ncook a meal for them? <\/p>\n
740
\n00:45:28,800 –> 00:45:32,840
\nWe were forced to sit down
\nacross and talk? <\/p>\n
741
\n00:45:36,120 –> 00:45:38,320
\nWhat would happen?
\nForget about committees. <\/p>\n
742
\n00:45:38,320 –> 00:45:40,880
\nForget about perfectly worded
\nemails and red tape. <\/p>\n
743
\n00:45:41,360 –> 00:45:42,720
\nWhat if you cooked dinner and
\ntalked? <\/p>\n
744
\n00:45:42,720 –> 00:45:48,160
\nIt’d be an interesting world,
\nwouldn’t it? <\/p>\n
745
\n00:45:49,000 –> 00:45:53,760
\nAnd so Christ dined with all.
\nDid he take the word and say, <\/p>\n
746
\n00:45:53,760 –> 00:45:55,880
\nyou know, I’m going to pause on
\n1st principles for a while? <\/p>\n
747
\n00:45:56,000 –> 00:45:58,520
\nNo, he upheld everything in this
\nbook. <\/p>\n
748
\n00:45:58,880 –> 00:46:01,560
\nAnd he ate with sinners, He ate
\nwith his disciples, He ate with <\/p>\n
749
\n00:46:01,560 –> 00:46:06,240
\nPharisees, He ate with anybody
\nwho was willing, and he sat down<\/p>\n
750
\n00:46:06,320 –> 00:46:09,480
\nwith them.
\nSo we have a few meals. <\/p>\n
751
\n00:46:09,480 –> 00:46:13,160
\nAnd Luke, again, we’ve gone over
\na few of these. <\/p>\n
752
\n00:46:16,640 –> 00:46:18,280
\nSeriously, only three minutes
\nleft. <\/p>\n
753
\n00:46:18,680 –> 00:46:22,080
\nAll right, we’ve made it to Luke
\n19. <\/p>\n
754
\n00:46:24,480 –> 00:46:28,720
\nGuess what happens in Luke 19?
\nWe get to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
755
\n00:46:29,200 –> 00:46:32,120
\nWe’ve made it, brothers and
\nsisters, we have made it to <\/p>\n
756
\n00:46:32,200 –> 00:46:34,800
\nJerusalem.
\nWe have 3 minutes to get into <\/p>\n
757
\n00:46:34,800 –> 00:46:36,320
\nJerusalem.
\nLet’s, let’s talk about it. <\/p>\n
758
\n00:46:36,320 –> 00:46:40,840
\nLuke 19.
\nWe haven’t lost the Pharisees <\/p>\n
759
\n00:46:40,840 –> 00:46:43,280
\nyet.
\nThey’re still interested. <\/p>\n
760
\n00:46:43,720 –> 00:46:49,480
\nThey will end up causing quite a
\nstir in a few chapters, but <\/p>\n
761
\n00:46:49,680 –> 00:46:53,600
\nJerusalem is on the horizon.
\nVerse 28 to 35 we have the two <\/p>\n
762
\n00:46:53,600 –> 00:46:55,640
\ndisciples.
\nThey collect the cult. <\/p>\n
763
\n00:46:56,080 –> 00:47:01,400
\nVerses 36 Luke 1936 And as they
\nwent to spread their clothes in <\/p>\n
764
\n00:47:01,400 –> 00:47:03,640
\nthe way and when he was come
\nnigh, even now at the desert of <\/p>\n
765
\n00:47:03,640 –> 00:47:06,160
\nthe Mount of Olives, the whole
\nmultitude of the disciples began<\/p>\n
766
\n00:47:06,160 –> 00:47:09,000
\nto rejoice and praise God with a
\nloud voice for all the mighty <\/p>\n
767
\n00:47:09,000 –> 00:47:11,920
\nworks that they had seen,
\nsaying, Blessed be the king that<\/p>\n
768
\n00:47:11,920 –> 00:47:14,520
\ncometh in the name of the Lord,
\npeace in heaven and glory in the<\/p>\n
769
\n00:47:14,520 –> 00:47:17,680
\nhighest.
\nThe Pharisees, guess what they <\/p>\n
770
\n00:47:17,680 –> 00:47:20,520
\nsay to the disciples, They say
\nto Christ, Master, tell your <\/p>\n
771
\n00:47:20,520 –> 00:47:25,120
\ndisciples to be quiet.
\nThey’re still here. <\/p>\n
772
\n00:47:25,600 –> 00:47:27,280
\nThey’re following us all the way
\nto Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
773
\n00:47:28,360 –> 00:47:30,160
\nAnd he says something
\nfascinating. <\/p>\n
774
\n00:47:30,160 –> 00:47:34,840
\nHe says verse 40, I tell you
\nthat if they held their peace, <\/p>\n
775
\n00:47:35,800 –> 00:47:40,080
\nquoting Habakkuk 2 as your
\nmargin says, the stones of this <\/p>\n
776
\n00:47:40,080 –> 00:47:43,040
\nwall would cry out in their
\nplace. <\/p>\n
777
\n00:47:44,480 –> 00:47:47,520
\nHe says this is a joyous day,
\neven though nobody here <\/p>\n
778
\n00:47:47,520 –> 00:47:50,680
\nrecognizes why I’m entering
\nJerusalem, even though everybody<\/p>\n
779
\n00:47:50,680 –> 00:47:53,440
\nhere assumes I come with a sword
\nto deliver you from the Romans. <\/p>\n
780
\n00:47:54,040 –> 00:47:58,240
\nThis is a joyous day.
\nAnd he in verse 41 beheld the <\/p>\n
781
\n00:47:58,240 –> 00:48:07,320
\ncity and cries.
\nThat’s his entry into Jerusalem.<\/p>\n
782
\n00:48:07,600 –> 00:48:10,240
\nHe sees it and he knows what
\nawaits it. <\/p>\n
783
\n00:48:10,400 –> 00:48:14,480
\nThis city isn’t why he came.
\nHe came to bring a new <\/p>\n
784
\n00:48:14,480 –> 00:48:16,800
\nJerusalem.
\nThis city would be the cause of <\/p>\n
785
\n00:48:16,800 –> 00:48:20,920
\nhis death and as many people as
\nhad come and assumed that they <\/p>\n
786
\n00:48:20,920 –> 00:48:25,560
\nhad put him to death, Christ
\ncame and did it willingly. <\/p>\n
787
\n00:48:28,040 –> 00:48:33,560
\nSo we’ll quickly end.
\nHe has the meal with his <\/p>\n
788
\n00:48:33,560 –> 00:48:36,240
\ndisciples.
\nLuke, interestingly, is the one <\/p>\n
789
\n00:48:36,240 –> 00:48:38,000
\nthat mentions 2 cups instead of
\n1. <\/p>\n
790
\n00:48:43,480 –> 00:48:47,200
\nBut you see, brothers and
\nsisters eating, it’s been the <\/p>\n
791
\n00:48:47,200 –> 00:48:50,760
\ntheme since the very, very,
\nvery, very beginning. <\/p>\n
792
\n00:48:53,320 –> 00:48:54,920
\nIt’s been the theme since the
\nvery, very beginning. <\/p>\n
793
\n00:48:54,920 –> 00:48:57,800
\nWell, the first things the
\nElohim instructed Adam was you <\/p>\n
794
\n00:48:57,800 –> 00:48:59,640
\ncan eat of everything.
\nYou can eat of everything, but <\/p>\n
795
\n00:48:59,640 –> 00:49:02,240
\ndon’t eat of one tree.
\nWhat is it? <\/p>\n
796
\n00:49:02,240 –> 00:49:05,800
\nThe one thing that mankind does?
\nThey eat of that tree. <\/p>\n
797
\n00:49:05,800 –> 00:49:09,840
\nIt’s always been about that.
\nAnd so when Christ comes after <\/p>\n
798
\n00:49:09,840 –> 00:49:13,640
\nthe fall, when Christ comes into
\nJerusalem, he sets a meal before<\/p>\n
799
\n00:49:13,640 –> 00:49:15,280
\nthem.
\nHe sets a meal before his <\/p>\n
800
\n00:49:15,280 –> 00:49:17,440
\ndisciples and he says, eat with
\nme and live. <\/p>\n
801
\n00:49:20,160 –> 00:49:24,240
\nAnd once he was done with that
\nmeal, once he was done giving <\/p>\n
802
\n00:49:24,240 –> 00:49:28,520
\nthe meal to his disciples, what
\nhe does is he puts himself on a <\/p>\n
803
\n00:49:28,520 –> 00:49:36,560
\ntree for the life of the whole
\nworld, to eat of his flesh, to <\/p>\n
804
\n00:49:36,560 –> 00:49:40,080
\ndrink of His blood in
\nremembrance of Him. <\/p>\n
805
\n00:49:40,720 –> 00:49:43,040
\nThis is why He goes to
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
806
\n00:49:43,200 –> 00:49:46,520
\nThis is what awaited him there.
\nThe entire religious <\/p>\n
807
\n00:49:46,520 –> 00:49:49,920
\norganization of Jerusalem tried
\nto take his life since chapter <\/p>\n
808
\n00:49:49,920 –> 00:49:56,400
\n5, but Jesus willingly gave it.
\nHe was on that tree hung for the<\/p>\n
809
\n00:49:56,400 –> 00:50:00,840
\nworld to witness, and he says,
\npartake of my body and my blood <\/p>\n
810
\n00:50:00,840 –> 00:50:04,720
\nand live.
\nI’m coming to Jerusalem to undo <\/p>\n
811
\n00:50:04,720 –> 00:50:10,680
\nthe results of eating that tree
\nin that garden by putting myself<\/p>\n
812
\n00:50:10,680 –> 00:50:14,560
\non a tree willingly.
\nFor all this do in remembrance <\/p>\n
813
\n00:50:14,560 –> 00:50:19,640
\nof me.
\nAnd so we eat every week at the <\/p>\n
814
\n00:50:19,640 –> 00:50:23,280
\ntable, and we do these things in
\nremembrance of Him. <\/p>\n
815
\n00:50:23,680 –> 00:50:26,280
\nBlessed are they that do His
\ncommandments that they may have <\/p>\n
816
\n00:50:26,280 –> 00:50:29,560
\nrights to the tree of life and
\nmay enter into the gates of the <\/p>\n
817
\n00:50:29,560 –> 00:50:34,600
\ncity.
\nI’m going to ask for two <\/p>\n
818
\n00:50:34,600 –> 00:50:39,240
\nminutes, I promise, just to.
\nThere’s one time that Jesus <\/p>\n
819
\n00:50:39,240 –> 00:50:44,080
\nspecifically eats in Luke.
\nHe has had eight meals. <\/p>\n
820
\n00:50:44,640 –> 00:50:47,480
\nWhich one do you think he
\nactually puts food into his <\/p>\n
821
\n00:50:47,480 –> 00:50:50,280
\nmouth in?
\nWith Levi? <\/p>\n
822
\n00:50:50,440 –> 00:50:55,280
\nNo, with Levi it says they were
\nreclining at the table with the <\/p>\n
823
\n00:50:55,280 –> 00:50:57,280
\nPharisee.
\nNo, he taught them reclined at <\/p>\n
824
\n00:50:57,280 –> 00:51:00,760
\nthe table the 5000.
\nNo, he fed 5000 other people, <\/p>\n
825
\n00:51:00,760 –> 00:51:03,160
\nnot himself, reclined to the
\ntable with the Pharisee. <\/p>\n
826
\n00:51:03,160 –> 00:51:04,840
\nHe reclined to the table with
\nthe third Pharisee. <\/p>\n
827
\n00:51:04,960 –> 00:51:08,640
\nWith the 12 he fed them with the
\ntwo travellers, He fed them. <\/p>\n
828
\n00:51:08,720 –> 00:51:13,520
\nWhen is the first time that
\nscripture says specifically that<\/p>\n
829
\n00:51:13,520 –> 00:51:19,680
\nhe actually ate?
\nIt’s when he didn’t need to. <\/p>\n
830
\n00:51:21,520 –> 00:51:27,840
\nIt’s an as an immortal man, he
\nhad been dining with people <\/p>\n
831
\n00:51:27,840 –> 00:51:32,880
\nsince chapter 3 and four.
\nHe had been had his first meal <\/p>\n
832
\n00:51:32,880 –> 00:51:43,520
\nin chapter 5 and it says in
\nchapter 24 verse 41, he took it <\/p>\n
833
\n00:51:44,360 –> 00:51:50,920
\nand he ate.
\nWhy does he wait until the very <\/p>\n
834
\n00:51:50,920 –> 00:51:52,800
\nend?
\nWhy does he wait until an <\/p>\n
835
\n00:51:52,800 –> 00:51:56,440
\nimmortal being who doesn’t even
\nneed to eat anymore to <\/p>\n
836
\n00:51:56,440 –> 00:52:00,320
\nspecifically eat before them?
\nHe has shared meals with people <\/p>\n
837
\n00:52:00,320 –> 00:52:04,080
\nthe whole book and now not only
\ndoes he eat, but he eats before <\/p>\n
838
\n00:52:04,080 –> 00:52:05,680
\nthem.
\nHe eats by himself. <\/p>\n
839
\n00:52:06,640 –> 00:52:10,280
\nWhy?
\nIt’s to prove a point. <\/p>\n
840
\n00:52:10,360 –> 00:52:13,040
\nWhat point is Christ trying to
\nprove? <\/p>\n
841
\n00:52:13,560 –> 00:52:20,200
\nCome with me to verse 42. 41 And
\nwhile they yet believe not for <\/p>\n
842
\n00:52:20,200 –> 00:52:23,720
\njoy and wonder, he said to them,
\ndo you have anything to eat? <\/p>\n
843
\n00:52:26,640 –> 00:52:29,760
\nThey said we’ve broiled fish, a
\npiece of honeycomb. <\/p>\n
844
\n00:52:29,760 –> 00:52:34,040
\nAnd he took it, and He did eat
\nbefore them. <\/p>\n
845
\n00:52:35,440 –> 00:52:38,160
\nWhy does He eat?
\nHe has to prove that what they <\/p>\n
846
\n00:52:38,160 –> 00:52:40,760
\nsee isn’t a ghost, it’s actually
\nJesus. <\/p>\n
847
\n00:52:40,880 –> 00:52:43,400
\nBut what is it He says?
\nWhat’s the reason He says He <\/p>\n
848
\n00:52:43,400 –> 00:52:46,440
\nactually eats?
\nVerse 44 It’s going to blow your<\/p>\n
849
\n00:52:46,440 –> 00:52:50,520
\nbrains.
\nAnd he said into them, These are<\/p>\n
850
\n00:52:50,520 –> 00:52:53,640
\nthe words which I spake unto you
\nwhile I was at with you, that <\/p>\n
851
\n00:52:53,840 –> 00:53:00,000
\nall things must be fulfilled,
\nwhich were spoken of in the law <\/p>\n
852
\n00:53:00,000 –> 00:53:05,240
\nof Moses, which were spoken of
\nin the prophets and in the <\/p>\n
853
\n00:53:05,240 –> 00:53:08,760
\nPsalms concerning me.
\nDo you remember, disciples, when<\/p>\n
854
\n00:53:08,760 –> 00:53:15,000
\nI told you that I’m going to eat
\nnow to prove that all of that’s <\/p>\n
855
\n00:53:15,000 –> 00:53:19,000
\ndone?
\nI’m not some ghost like you <\/p>\n
856
\n00:53:19,000 –> 00:53:21,400
\nthink I am.
\nGive me some food. <\/p>\n
857
\n00:53:22,360 –> 00:53:27,120
\nAnd he eats it, and says, This
\nis proof that all the things the<\/p>\n
858
\n00:53:27,120 –> 00:53:32,320
\nprophet spoke about me have been
\naccomplished, And so we ate <\/p>\n
859
\n00:53:32,560 –> 00:53:37,800
\nbefore them, brothers and
\nsisters, we conclude verse 45. <\/p>\n
860
\n00:53:40,240 –> 00:53:43,440
\nThen opened he their
\nunderstanding what an event that<\/p>\n
861
\n00:53:43,440 –> 00:53:47,480
\nwould have been, that they might
\nunderstand the Scriptures, and <\/p>\n
862
\n00:53:47,480 –> 00:53:51,360
\nsaid unto them, Thus is written.
\nAnd thus it was needful for <\/p>\n
863
\n00:53:51,360 –> 00:53:54,480
\nChrist to suffer and to rise
\nfrom the dead the third day, and<\/p>\n
864
\n00:53:54,480 –> 00:53:58,360
\nthat repentance and remission of
\nsins should be preached in His <\/p>\n
865
\n00:53:58,360 –> 00:54:03,520
\nname among all nations,
