Class 2 from this series was used in GCT Episode 324.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:03,360 –> 00:00:06,560
\nyesterday.
\nWe were so busy being lost that <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:06,600 –> 00:00:10,320
\nwe need to come back and find
\nourselves very quickly. <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:10,840 –> 00:00:13,880
\nSo if you guys go to session
\nthree, our blue paper on our <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:13,880 –> 00:00:16,640
\nhandout, we’ll just quickly
\nanswer a couple of these and <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:16,640 –> 00:00:23,160
\nthen the personal goals for your
\nown goods for this week. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:23,160 –> 00:00:26,720
\nSo number one, who did Christ
\ncame to come to save the not <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:26,720 –> 00:00:30,600
\nlost, lost or the Super lost
\neveryone. <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:31,480 –> 00:00:34,680
\nChrist came to save everyone.
\nHe came to save those who <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:34,680 –> 00:00:36,880
\nweren’t lost, those who were
\nlost, and those who were super <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:36,880 –> 00:00:38,360
\nlost, right?
\nThat was a trick question. <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:38,640 –> 00:00:41,320
\nChrist came to save everyone and
\nit got it got you good. <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:41,640 –> 00:00:44,360
\nAll right.
\nWhat makes someone super lost? <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:46,680 –> 00:00:48,320
\nThey have no idea that they’re
\nlost. <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:48,320 –> 00:00:50,400
\nThey refuse to believe that
\nthey’re lost. <\/p>\n
16
\n00:00:50,400 –> 00:00:52,680
\nHow could somebody like me be
\nlost? <\/p>\n
17
\n00:00:52,680 –> 00:00:55,720
\nVery good.
\nAnd what did both Jesus and John<\/p>\n
18
\n00:00:55,720 –> 00:00:58,960
\nthe Baptist say was necessary to
\nfind salvation? <\/p>\n
19
\n00:00:59,880 –> 00:01:03,720
\nRepentance, fruits of
\nrepentance. <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:03,880 –> 00:01:06,040
\nAll right, very good.
\nAnd then we conclude there at <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:06,040 –> 00:01:08,600
\nthe end, what small thing can
\nyou do after Bible school to <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:08,600 –> 00:01:10,240
\nhelp someone that you feel is
\nlost? <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:10,240 –> 00:01:13,400
\nSo just, I mean, the smallest
\nthing is all we’re looking for, <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:13,400 –> 00:01:18,600
\nthe smallest thing, a text, a
\nshort message on a social media <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:18,600 –> 00:01:23,040
\nplatform, a longer conversation
\nthan you would have say, good <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:23,040 –> 00:01:25,080
\nmorning, lovely weather we’re
\nhaving. <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:25,080 –> 00:01:28,160
\nIsn’t it just the smallest
\nlittle thing that you can do to <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:28,160 –> 00:01:31,720
\nbreak that ice with someone that
\nyou feel is lost on the road to <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:31,720 –> 00:01:33,440
\nJerusalem?
\nOK. <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:33,760 –> 00:01:38,080
\nAnd then the maze at the bottom.
\nUp until last night, I assumed <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:38,080 –> 00:01:42,400
\nit was solvable because I
\ngoogled impossibly hard maze and<\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:42,400 –> 00:01:45,800
\nthey took the word impossible
\nvery literally. <\/p>\n
33
\n00:01:46,680 –> 00:01:50,160
\nMike, you should have seen the
\nteens sweating over solving this<\/p>\n
34
\n00:01:50,160 –> 00:01:53,440
\nmaze that I assured them was
\nsolvable. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:01:53,600 –> 00:01:57,720
\nAnd it’s not.
\nAll right, so let’s go to <\/p>\n
36
\n00:01:57,840 –> 00:02:01,440
\nsession #4 learning to work
\ntogether. <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:01,840 –> 00:02:04,120
\nAnd what we’re gonna do is we’re
\ngonna, this is gonna be broken <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:04,120 –> 00:02:06,800
\nup into two parts for our class.
\nWe’re gonna spend the first <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:07,000 –> 00:02:10,840
\nsection of our class today
\npurely looking at the dynamics <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:10,840 –> 00:02:14,880
\nof the disciples.
\nThis was very eye opening for me<\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:15,080 –> 00:02:19,640
\nbecause we’re going to see the
\npurposeful selection of the 12 <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:19,640 –> 00:02:24,640
\nChrist shows and how it relates
\nperfectly, perfectly to <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:24,640 –> 00:02:27,680
\necclesial life.
\nOK, so does anybody have marked <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:27,680 –> 00:02:31,200
\nfrom page one on our handouts
\nthe journey’s purpose? <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:31,200 –> 00:02:37,040
\nWhat the what verse shows us the
\njourney’s purpose, not the <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:37,040 –> 00:02:43,040
\nbeginning, the purpose. 1831
\nLuke 1831 and taking the 12, he <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:43,040 –> 00:02:48,080
\nsaid unto them, See, we’re going
\nup to Jerusalem, and everything <\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:48,080 –> 00:02:53,000
\nthat is written about me by the
\nprophets must be accomplished. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:53,000 –> 00:02:57,000
\nHe says in Luke 1831.
\nThis was the mission of getting <\/p>\n
50
\n00:02:57,000 –> 00:03:01,120
\nChrist to Jerusalem to fulfill
\neverything that was written by <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:01,120 –> 00:03:02,280
\nthe prophets about the Son of
\nMan. <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:02,400 –> 00:03:05,680
\nThink about the gravity.
\nThink about the gravity of that <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:05,680 –> 00:03:09,520
\nverse.
\nOn this mission hinges <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:09,520 –> 00:03:11,520
\neverything written by the
\nprophets. <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:13,520 –> 00:03:16,960
\nThere’s a scope involved with
\ngetting to Jerusalem to finish <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:16,960 –> 00:03:19,480
\nall of those things.
\nThe rest of the Bible that was <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:19,480 –> 00:03:22,400
\nwritten pointed forward to you
\nmaking it to that city. <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:22,560 –> 00:03:29,560
\nNow think about the 12 He chose
\nthose, the 12 He chose. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:30,320 –> 00:03:34,760
\nLet’s look at Him.
\nHe called 12 disciples from the <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:34,760 –> 00:03:37,800
\narea that he and Joseph had
\ntheir carpentry business up in <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:37,800 –> 00:03:40,840
\nGalilee, 11 of them from
\nGalilee. <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:40,840 –> 00:03:43,520
\nDoes anybody know which one
\nwasn’t Judas? <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:43,520 –> 00:03:47,080
\nJesus was not.
\nSo this group of 12 individuals <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:48,120 –> 00:03:52,080
\nhe picks to be his disciples.
\nDoes he put ads in the local <\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:52,080 –> 00:03:55,920
\npaper and say calling the
\nbrightest and the best for <\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:55,920 –> 00:03:58,880
\ninterviews, tryouts, auditions?
\nIs that what he does? <\/p>\n
67
\n00:03:59,520 –> 00:04:06,840
\nNo, he chooses 12 individuals,
\nordinary, average people. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:07,360 –> 00:04:10,640
\nAnd it’s exactly what our walk
\nto Jerusalem is like, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:11,320 –> 00:04:16,320
\nAs much as we may think, we are
\nsure a gift to our ecclesia. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:19,279 –> 00:04:22,240
\nI don’t know how my ecclesia
\nwould manage without me. <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:23,040 –> 00:04:28,720
\nWe’re normal, average, ordinary
\npeople just like everyone else, <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:30,200 –> 00:04:32,640
\nand all the people that you’re
\ngoing to work with in your <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:32,640 –> 00:04:37,160
\necclesias are average, ordinary,
\nnormal people just like everyone<\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:37,160 –> 00:04:40,360
\nelse.
\nThat’s why Christ chose these <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:40,360 –> 00:04:43,560
\n12.
\nHe selected the 12 to <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:43,560 –> 00:04:46,560
\ndemonstrate that no matter what
\nyour group looks like, no matter<\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:46,560 –> 00:04:49,320
\nwhat your ranging board looks
\nlike, no matter what your <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:49,320 –> 00:04:52,040
\ncommittee for the family night
\nor for your CYC looks like, <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:52,240 –> 00:04:54,680
\nyou’re all average, you’re all
\nnormal, and you’re all ordinary.<\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:56,080 –> 00:04:59,520
\nLearn to work together.
\nFigure it out. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:00,520 –> 00:05:04,280
\nLearn to work together.
\nLet’s say you’re putting A-Team <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:04,280 –> 00:05:08,360
\ntogether on the caliber of
\nsomething like fulfilling <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:08,360 –> 00:05:09,720
\neverything the prophets had
\nwritten about you. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:09,720 –> 00:05:15,040
\nAnd that’s your job at work.
\nYour boss says, I want you to <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:15,360 –> 00:05:18,120
\nput a team.
\nYou get 12 people, put a team <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:18,120 –> 00:05:20,920
\ntogether.
\nYour job is to fulfill <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:20,920 –> 00:05:22,240
\neverything the prophets wrote
\nabout you. <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:23,880 –> 00:05:25,280
\nWould you end up with a team
\nlike this? <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:26,360 –> 00:05:29,840
\nNo, no way you’d end up with a
\nteam like this. <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:30,040 –> 00:05:33,120
\nLet’s look at these guys, 12
\nmen. <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:34,440 –> 00:05:38,560
\nYou would not have been crazy to
\nlook at Christ leading these 12 <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:38,560 –> 00:05:42,880
\nbunch of people and thought that
\nteam’s doomed. <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:44,480 –> 00:05:49,040
\nYou would not have been crazy.
\nThere’s careers mentioned for a <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:49,040 –> 00:05:51,960
\nfew of them, those not mentioned
\nwith careers, Philip, <\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:51,960 –> 00:05:53,520
\nBartholomew, Thomas, James and
\nThaddeus. <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:53,520 –> 00:05:56,040
\nWe pretty well know the careers
\nof the rest of them. <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:56,440 –> 00:06:00,800
\nFour of them are fishermen,
\nPeter, Andrew, James and John <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:00,880 –> 00:06:03,160
\nFisherman.
\nThere was a tax collector. <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:03,280 –> 00:06:06,400
\nWas a tax collector’s name,
\nMatthew or Levi, Very good. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:06,880 –> 00:06:11,200
\nWe had a zealot who was the
\nzealot, Simon the zealot, very <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:11,200 –> 00:06:14,200
\ngood.
\nAnd we had probably somebody <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:14,200 –> 00:06:17,600
\nwith a financial background
\nelected as the treasurer. <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:18,040 –> 00:06:20,760
\nJudas probably had some sort of
\nfinancial background. <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:21,320 –> 00:06:24,400
\nWe could be sure.
\nOK, so we know now at least a <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:24,400 –> 00:06:28,240
\nhandful of maybe a little bit
\nmore about what made these guys <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:28,240 –> 00:06:30,320
\nwho they were, the backgrounds
\nto them. <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:30,800 –> 00:06:33,040
\nBut let’s look a little bit more
\nat kind of the inner workings, <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:33,040 –> 00:06:35,080
\nthe the dynamics between these
\n12. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:35,480 –> 00:06:40,840
\nTwo of them are sets of
\nbrothers, James and John, Peter <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:40,840 –> 00:06:44,160
\nand Andrew.
\nSo in the group of 12, you <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:44,160 –> 00:06:47,320
\nalways have four brothers, 2
\nsets of two. <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:48,400 –> 00:06:51,560
\nNow, if you know anything about
\nyoung men and brothers, what <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:51,560 –> 00:06:54,320
\noften happens between brothers?
\nThey can. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:54,320 –> 00:06:56,400
\nThey can often get into little
\nspats with each other. <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:56,400 –> 00:06:58,120
\nDo you think that that was
\nhappening here? <\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:58,120 –> 00:07:00,120
\nWhat if your brother was
\nsomebody like Peter? <\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:01,160 –> 00:07:03,360
\nDo you think you’d maybe butt
\nheads occasionally? <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:03,680 –> 00:07:06,440
\nYeah, there was definitely some
\nspats between these brothers. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:06,640 –> 00:07:09,080
\nAnd you look at this team of 12
\nand you go, you’re not going to <\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:09,080 –> 00:07:15,560
\nmake it out of Nazareth.
\nThere was also two seemingly <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:16,040 –> 00:07:19,680
\nfinancially well off, probably
\neducated. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:20,000 –> 00:07:23,280
\nWe have a tax collector in
\nMatthew, some sort of financial <\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:23,280 –> 00:07:28,200
\nperson in Judas.
\nWe know, by the way, that <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:28,200 –> 00:07:31,080
\nMatthew would have been wealthy
\nfrom what story, let alone the <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:31,080 –> 00:07:33,360
\nfact that he was a tax
\ncollector, not just who they <\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:33,360 –> 00:07:35,120
\nwere.
\nIs there any stories you guys <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:35,120 –> 00:07:37,680
\ncould think of that show us that
\nMatthew probably had a couple <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:37,680 –> 00:07:40,960
\nbucks?
\nWhat happens when he’s called? <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:40,960 –> 00:07:44,720
\nWhat does he do?
\nYeah, he holds a feast and he <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:44,720 –> 00:07:48,600
\ninvites tons of people over to
\nhis house and he feeds them all.<\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:49,000 –> 00:07:50,840
\nSo Matthew maybe had a buck or
\ntwo. <\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:51,360 –> 00:07:56,320
\nAll right, so mixing these guys
\nare wealthy with fishermen. <\/p>\n
133
\n00:07:56,320 –> 00:08:01,520
\nDoes anybody remember what is
\ntold us about fishermen in Acts?<\/p>\n
134
\n00:08:01,520 –> 00:08:04,400
\nI’ll read for you Acts 4, verse
\n13. <\/p>\n
135
\n00:08:04,400 –> 00:08:06,960
\nIt says now when they saw the
\nboldness of Peter and John the <\/p>\n
136
\n00:08:06,960 –> 00:08:11,760
\nfisherman, when they saw the
\nboldness of Peter and John and <\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:11,760 –> 00:08:17,560
\nperceived that they were
\nuneducated common men, they were<\/p>\n
138
\n00:08:17,560 –> 00:08:20,240
\nastonished.
\nSo not only do we have very <\/p>\n
139
\n00:08:20,240 –> 00:08:23,080
\ndifferent backgrounds, we have
\nvery different levels of <\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:23,080 –> 00:08:30,240
\neducation in this group.
\nNow imagine in your ecclesia <\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:30,600 –> 00:08:34,720
\nbeing stuck on a committee with
\nsomebody at a very different <\/p>\n
142
\n00:08:34,720 –> 00:08:38,320
\neducation level than you.
\nDoes it ever happen every single<\/p>\n
143
\n00:08:38,320 –> 00:08:41,320
\nday?
\nImagine being on a committee in <\/p>\n
144
\n00:08:41,320 –> 00:08:45,000
\nyour ecclesia where somebody in
\nyour committee doesn’t think <\/p>\n
145
\n00:08:45,000 –> 00:08:47,600
\nabout, let alone where their
\nnext meal comes from, but where <\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:47,600 –> 00:08:50,640
\ntheir next car comes from.
\nYou ever have that in your <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:50,640 –> 00:08:52,360
\ncommittees?
\nEvery single day. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:53,400 –> 00:08:56,520
\nWe have mixtures of wealth, we
\nhave mixtures of education, we <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:56,520 –> 00:08:59,440
\nhave mixtures of backgrounds in
\nall of our ecclesias. <\/p>\n
150
\n00:09:00,080 –> 00:09:05,720
\nWhat’s the point?
\nLearn to work together and <\/p>\n
151
\n00:09:05,720 –> 00:09:09,480
\nChrist introduces these.
\nThese weren’t the 1st 12 to show<\/p>\n
152
\n00:09:09,480 –> 00:09:13,400
\nup to a wanted poster.
\nThese were the first 12 that he <\/p>\n
153
\n00:09:13,400 –> 00:09:16,040
\nhand picked.
\nHe said I want you and I want <\/p>\n
154
\n00:09:16,040 –> 00:09:20,680
\nyou and I want you to follow me
\nto Jerusalem and he purposely <\/p>\n
155
\n00:09:20,680 –> 00:09:26,080
\npicks these ones.
\nAlso on his team was a zealot. <\/p>\n
156
\n00:09:26,360 –> 00:09:30,000
\nWhat is a zealot?
\nWhat was the zealots known for? <\/p>\n
157
\n00:09:30,000 –> 00:09:35,040
\nThe Zealots were those who are
\nanti occupation, anti Rome. <\/p>\n
158
\n00:09:35,440 –> 00:09:39,240
\nThe Romans had come in.
\nThe Zealots goal was to kick the<\/p>\n
159
\n00:09:39,240 –> 00:09:42,320
\nRomans out.
\nThe Zealot found himself <\/p>\n
160
\n00:09:42,320 –> 00:09:47,160
\nsuccessful.
\nIf they pushed Romans out, they <\/p>\n
161
\n00:09:47,160 –> 00:09:49,080
\npushed them down and they pushed
\nthem out. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:09:49,920 –> 00:09:53,560
\nThat was a successful Zealot
\nmany times by violent means. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:09:54,040 –> 00:09:56,880
\nWe’re not saying Simon was
\nviolent, but they would have <\/p>\n
164
\n00:09:56,880 –> 00:10:00,440
\nfound success if they had
\nsuccessfully moved the Romans <\/p>\n
165
\n00:10:00,440 –> 00:10:01,800
\nout.
\nWhat about Matthew? <\/p>\n
166
\n00:10:01,800 –> 00:10:04,120
\nWho did Matthew work for?
\nWho was his employer? <\/p>\n
167
\n00:10:05,120 –> 00:10:09,440
\nRome.
\nSo we’ve a tax collector who <\/p>\n
168
\n00:10:09,440 –> 00:10:13,360
\nwould have been successful if he
\nkept the Romans in, and a Zealot<\/p>\n
169
\n00:10:13,360 –> 00:10:15,440
\nwho would have been successful
\nif he pushed the Romans out. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:10:15,880 –> 00:10:17,640
\nChrist says, I want both of you
\nto work on my team. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:10:19,200 –> 00:10:20,840
\nDoes that ever happen in your
\necclesia? <\/p>\n
172
\n00:10:21,880 –> 00:10:24,120
\nWhen you’re on a committee or
\nyou’re on a board with somebody <\/p>\n
173
\n00:10:24,120 –> 00:10:26,080
\nand they have completely
\ndifferent ideas, different <\/p>\n
174
\n00:10:26,080 –> 00:10:30,160
\ndirections every single day?
\nWhat’s the point? <\/p>\n
175
\n00:10:31,160 –> 00:10:37,880
\nLearn to work together.
\nHe introduces 1\/3 though, <\/p>\n
176
\n00:10:37,880 –> 00:10:42,080
\ndoesn’t he?
\nNot only that, he introduces <\/p>\n
177
\n00:10:42,120 –> 00:10:44,400
\nPhillip.
\nPhillip. <\/p>\n
178
\n00:10:44,960 –> 00:10:48,160
\nWhat does that name originate?
\nIt’s Greek. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:10:49,240 –> 00:10:52,840
\nPhillip probably was a
\nHellenistic Jew. <\/p>\n
180
\n00:10:52,840 –> 00:10:56,600
\nI’ll give you just a quick
\nreason why we can maybe think <\/p>\n
181
\n00:10:56,600 –> 00:10:59,880
\nit’s a good guess.
\nJohn chapter 12, verse 21. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:11:01,040 –> 00:11:04,640
\nNow among those who went up to
\nworship at the feast were some <\/p>\n
183
\n00:11:04,640 –> 00:11:09,560
\nGreeks, says John 1220.
\nSo they go up to the feast and <\/p>\n
184
\n00:11:09,560 –> 00:11:11,720
\nthere’s some Greeks.
\nVerse 21. <\/p>\n
185
\n00:11:11,920 –> 00:11:17,800
\nSo these Greeks came to Philip,
\nwho was from Bethsaida in <\/p>\n
186
\n00:11:17,800 –> 00:11:22,240
\nGalilee, and asked him, Sir, we
\nwish to see Jesus. <\/p>\n
187
\n00:11:23,560 –> 00:11:26,400
\nPhilip went and told Andrew.
\nAndrew and Philip went and told <\/p>\n
188
\n00:11:26,400 –> 00:11:29,200
\nJesus.
\nWhy would a bunch of Greeks find<\/p>\n
189
\n00:11:29,200 –> 00:11:37,560
\nout Philip to find Jesus?
\nPossibly because he spoke Greek.<\/p>\n
190
\n00:11:39,120 –> 00:11:43,000
\nAnd if he speaks Greek and he
\nhas a Greek name, there’s a good<\/p>\n
191
\n00:11:43,000 –> 00:11:46,680
\nchance that his background was
\nGreek. <\/p>\n
192
\n00:11:47,800 –> 00:11:50,880
\nSo you put all of these things
\ntogether and you say these are <\/p>\n
193
\n00:11:50,880 –> 00:11:55,120
\non the same team of 12 people.
\nThat means that if he spoke <\/p>\n
194
\n00:11:55,120 –> 00:11:58,000
\nGreek, he probably had a
\ndifferent version Bible. <\/p>\n
195
\n00:11:58,760 –> 00:12:01,880
\nHe probably used the cituigent.
\nThe other was we’re used to the <\/p>\n
196
\n00:12:02,000 –> 00:12:04,800
\nHebrew scrolls.
\nThere’s some differences in <\/p>\n
197
\n00:12:04,800 –> 00:12:07,760
\nthere, isn’t there?
\nBut Christ purposefully puts <\/p>\n
198
\n00:12:07,760 –> 00:12:10,440
\nthese together.
\nSo you have on this team of 12 <\/p>\n
199
\n00:12:10,440 –> 00:12:13,640
\nsomeone who’s pro Roman, someone
\nwho’s very pro Israel, anti <\/p>\n
200
\n00:12:13,640 –> 00:12:17,000
\nRoman, and someone who comes
\nfrom a very Greek influence. <\/p>\n
201
\n00:12:18,120 –> 00:12:20,840
\nYou know what, I want you all to
\nwork together. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:12:21,920 –> 00:12:25,680
\nBut it gets worse, it gets
\ncrazier. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:12:27,440 –> 00:12:29,640
\nPeter, James and John, what were
\nthese three known as? <\/p>\n
204
\n00:12:32,760 –> 00:12:38,120
\nThe inner circle.
\nThe inner circle, These three <\/p>\n
205
\n00:12:38,640 –> 00:12:41,960
\ngot to see a resurrection, the
\nTransfiguration, and Christ’s <\/p>\n
206
\n00:12:41,960 –> 00:12:43,880
\nmost emotional moments in the
\ngarden. <\/p>\n
207
\n00:12:45,160 –> 00:12:49,200
\nHe raised a girl from the dead
\ntransfiguration there on the <\/p>\n
208
\n00:12:49,200 –> 00:12:53,400
\nmount, and they were with him in
\nthe garden twice in these <\/p>\n
209
\n00:12:53,400 –> 00:12:57,240
\nevents.
\nBy the way, he says, don’t tell <\/p>\n
210
\n00:12:57,360 –> 00:13:00,200
\nanyone what you’ve seen here
\ntoday. <\/p>\n
211
\n00:13:02,640 –> 00:13:06,640
\nSo does Christ allow an inner
\ncircle to bubble up? <\/p>\n
212
\n00:13:08,320 –> 00:13:13,080
\nNo, he makes 1.
\nHe purposefully makes an inner <\/p>\n
213
\n00:13:13,080 –> 00:13:17,040
\ncircle.
\nThese three were also given <\/p>\n
214
\n00:13:17,040 –> 00:13:20,240
\nnicknames.
\nWhat were the brothers James and<\/p>\n
215
\n00:13:20,240 –> 00:13:26,760
\nJohn nicknamed Sons of Thunder?
\nWe had Peter named the Rock, so <\/p>\n
216
\n00:13:26,760 –> 00:13:28,760
\nthese give her names.
\nNow how would this have made <\/p>\n
217
\n00:13:28,760 –> 00:13:32,240
\nthat other brother feel?
\nAndrew? <\/p>\n
218
\n00:13:32,960 –> 00:13:35,680
\nNot only was he the other
\nbrother in this group, the other<\/p>\n
219
\n00:13:35,680 –> 00:13:38,800
\nfisherman in this group, he was
\nactually the first disciple <\/p>\n
220
\n00:13:38,800 –> 00:13:42,120
\ncalled.
\nNow that would really get under <\/p>\n
221
\n00:13:42,120 –> 00:13:44,440
\nour skin, wouldn’t it?
\nWe would. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:13:44,440 –> 00:13:47,840
\nWe would feel totally betrayed.
\nThis isn’t fair. <\/p>\n
223
\n00:13:50,080 –> 00:13:52,000
\nSo why did Christ create an
\ninner circle in the 1st place? <\/p>\n
224
\n00:13:52,000 –> 00:13:54,960
\nIf it were me creating an inner
\ncircle, I’d probably like to <\/p>\n
225
\n00:13:54,960 –> 00:13:59,800
\nchoose the most educated of the
\ngroup, or I’d try to choose the <\/p>\n
226
\n00:13:59,800 –> 00:14:02,840
\nwealthiest of the group.
\nThat would give our mission a <\/p>\n
227
\n00:14:02,840 –> 00:14:06,560
\nlittle bit more comfort, a
\nlittle bit more chance of <\/p>\n
228
\n00:14:06,560 –> 00:14:09,360
\nsuccess.
\nIf I could get those ones <\/p>\n
229
\n00:14:09,360 –> 00:14:13,240
\ncloser.
\nWhy don’t, why didn’t he choose <\/p>\n
230
\n00:14:13,240 –> 00:14:15,160
\nJudas?
\nMaybe, maybe, maybe see if he <\/p>\n
231
\n00:14:15,160 –> 00:14:19,080
\ncan work him a little bit, Maybe
\nsee if he can, he could bring <\/p>\n
232
\n00:14:19,080 –> 00:14:21,480
\nhim close to his side and and
\nmaybe there’s a different <\/p>\n
233
\n00:14:21,480 –> 00:14:24,440
\nalternative for the sacrifice
\nthat needs to be made. <\/p>\n
234
\n00:14:26,240 –> 00:14:27,720
\nWhy does he make an inner
\ncircle? <\/p>\n
235
\n00:14:27,840 –> 00:14:30,760
\nNot only that, how do you think
\nthe relationship would have been<\/p>\n
236
\n00:14:30,760 –> 00:14:33,160
\nwith other disciples?
\nWhen the mother of these two <\/p>\n
237
\n00:14:33,160 –> 00:14:37,240
\ncomes up and says, can my two
\nboys sit on your right hand and <\/p>\n
238
\n00:14:37,240 –> 00:14:40,360
\nyour left hand?
\nHow do you think that would have<\/p>\n
239
\n00:14:40,360 –> 00:14:43,240
\ngone down?
\nBut we’re told Matthew 20, they <\/p>\n
240
\n00:14:43,280 –> 00:14:48,040
\nresented them.
\nThey resented those brothers. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:14:49,440 –> 00:14:52,120
\nNot only that, but those two
\nwere probably actually cousins <\/p>\n
242
\n00:14:52,240 –> 00:14:55,080
\nof Jesus.
\nHow do you think nepotism would <\/p>\n
243
\n00:14:55,080 –> 00:15:03,480
\ngo over in the 12 disciples out
\nof his inner circle? <\/p>\n
244
\n00:15:04,880 –> 00:15:08,760
\nHe has a inner circle, doesn’t
\nhe? <\/p>\n
245
\n00:15:09,600 –> 00:15:14,600
\nHe has Peter and John, John the
\none whom Jesus loved, Peter the <\/p>\n
246
\n00:15:14,600 –> 00:15:18,120
\none on whom I will build my
\necclesia. <\/p>\n
247
\n00:15:20,680 –> 00:15:23,520
\nNow you have an inner circle
\ninside of your inner circle. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:15:23,640 –> 00:15:28,960
\nHow would this make James feel?
\nPeter and John were sent to make<\/p>\n
249
\n00:15:28,960 –> 00:15:32,040
\npreparations for the Passover.
\nPeter and John seem to be the <\/p>\n
250
\n00:15:32,040 –> 00:15:33,840
\nones who follow Christ after
\nhe’s captured. <\/p>\n
251
\n00:15:33,960 –> 00:15:36,960
\nThey’re definitely the ones who
\nrace to the tomb after he’s <\/p>\n
252
\n00:15:36,960 –> 00:15:40,840
\nerected.
\nHow would James feel about this?<\/p>\n
253
\n00:15:42,920 –> 00:15:44,960
\nWhat about personalities?
\nWe’re almost done. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:15:44,960 –> 00:15:49,720
\nWhat about personalities?
\nWe’re very fast to recognize the<\/p>\n
255
\n00:15:49,720 –> 00:15:54,840
\npersonality of Thomas doubting
\nThomas skeptical. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:15:55,360 –> 00:15:57,240
\nHe wasn’t around when the other
\ndisciples saw Jesus. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:15:57,240 –> 00:15:59,560
\nAnd so they say we’ve seen Jesus
\nsays I’m not going to believe it<\/p>\n
258
\n00:15:59,560 –> 00:16:03,640
\nuntil I actually see and witness
\nthe evidence of the crucifixion.<\/p>\n
259
\n00:16:04,480 –> 00:16:07,000
\nSo we have a man who’s
\nskeptical, but you know what? <\/p>\n
260
\n00:16:07,000 –> 00:16:09,160
\nThere’s also another man,
\nBartholomew seems to be a little<\/p>\n
261
\n00:16:09,160 –> 00:16:10,840
\nbit sceptical.
\nWe’re told very little about <\/p>\n
262
\n00:16:10,840 –> 00:16:13,800
\nthese two, but the stories we
\nare told give us a little bit of<\/p>\n
263
\n00:16:13,800 –> 00:16:17,360
\na clue.
\nMaybe after Jesus calls Philip, <\/p>\n
264
\n00:16:17,880 –> 00:16:20,720
\nPhilip goes to Bartholomew and
\nsays, we found the one that <\/p>\n
265
\n00:16:20,720 –> 00:16:23,720
\nMoses wrote about in the Law,
\nJesus of Nazareth. <\/p>\n
266
\n00:16:23,720 –> 00:16:26,720
\nAnd what does he say?
\nNazareth. <\/p>\n
267
\n00:16:28,240 –> 00:16:30,720
\nCan anything good come out of
\nNazareth? <\/p>\n
268
\n00:16:31,400 –> 00:16:34,720
\nCome and see.
\nSo we have two fairly like, I’m <\/p>\n
269
\n00:16:34,720 –> 00:16:38,680
\ngoing to think before we act.
\nWas there anybody on the <\/p>\n
270
\n00:16:38,680 –> 00:16:41,680
\ndisciples who didn’t think
\nbefore he acted? <\/p>\n
271
\n00:16:42,960 –> 00:16:45,080
\nPeter?
\nWas he skeptical? <\/p>\n
272
\n00:16:45,760 –> 00:16:51,160
\nWas Peter the one who would sit
\nand calculate and think I <\/p>\n
273
\n00:16:51,160 –> 00:16:54,560
\nshouldn’t do this?
\nNo, he wasn’t, was he? <\/p>\n
274
\n00:16:55,120 –> 00:16:57,800
\nPeter was impulsive.
\nWhat are some examples of when <\/p>\n
275
\n00:16:57,800 –> 00:17:00,800
\nPeter was impulsive?
\nIt’s not hard to think of him <\/p>\n
276
\n00:17:02,200 –> 00:17:04,839
\nwalks on water.
\nHe goes, you walk in the water. <\/p>\n
277
\n00:17:04,839 –> 00:17:06,920
\nCan I come?
\nAnd he hops out of the boat and <\/p>\n
278
\n00:17:06,920 –> 00:17:08,760
\nhe walks and he goes, oh, wait a
\nsecond. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:17:08,760 –> 00:17:13,160
\nAnd he and he begins to doubt.
\nHe chops off a guy’s ear in the <\/p>\n
280
\n00:17:13,160 –> 00:17:15,560
\ngarden.
\nThere’s there’s so many examples<\/p>\n
281
\n00:17:15,560 –> 00:17:18,960
\nyou could think about of, of
\nPeter being impulsive. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:17:19,720 –> 00:17:24,000
\nNow, these two were supposed to
\nwork together for years on the <\/p>\n
283
\n00:17:24,000 –> 00:17:29,800
\nroad to Jerusalem, for years.
\nThe smallest decisions that <\/p>\n
284
\n00:17:29,800 –> 00:17:32,800
\nwould need to be made, not these
\nbig ones, like walking on the <\/p>\n
285
\n00:17:32,800 –> 00:17:36,000
\nwater, not these big ones, like
\nwho’s going to pray with Jesus? <\/p>\n
286
\n00:17:36,480 –> 00:17:39,760
\nThe smallest ones.
\nWhere are we going for lunch <\/p>\n
287
\n00:17:39,760 –> 00:17:42,840
\ntoday?
\nThese little decisions would <\/p>\n
288
\n00:17:42,840 –> 00:17:45,640
\nneed to involve personalities of
\neveryone. <\/p>\n
289
\n00:17:48,240 –> 00:17:51,600
\nSome of the disciples were very,
\nvery methodical and they thought<\/p>\n
290
\n00:17:51,600 –> 00:17:53,480
\nthings out.
\nOthers just jumped right into <\/p>\n
291
\n00:17:53,480 –> 00:17:56,360
\nit.
\nImagine being on an ecclesial <\/p>\n
292
\n00:17:56,360 –> 00:18:00,280
\ncommittee where there’s a group
\nof people who say, let’s just <\/p>\n
293
\n00:18:00,280 –> 00:18:02,160
\nget it done, and there’s other
\ngroup of people say, well, we <\/p>\n
294
\n00:18:02,160 –> 00:18:03,640
\nshould probably think about this
\nfirst. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:18:04,160 –> 00:18:07,600
\nDoes that ever happen every
\nsingle day? <\/p>\n
296
\n00:18:08,280 –> 00:18:12,080
\nWhat’s the point?
\nYou’ve got to learn to work <\/p>\n
297
\n00:18:12,200 –> 00:18:17,200
\ntogether.
\nThis is why he can gather the <\/p>\n
298
\n00:18:17,200 –> 00:18:23,080
\nmost random 12 people when you
\nreally look at who they were. <\/p>\n
299
\n00:18:24,840 –> 00:18:27,800
\nAnd you could say each one of
\nthese has his own baggage, their<\/p>\n
300
\n00:18:27,800 –> 00:18:31,320
\nown weaknesses, their own
\nbiases, their own egos. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:18:31,520 –> 00:18:34,200
\nAnd Jesus knew exactly what he
\nwas doing. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:18:36,120 –> 00:18:39,280
\nHad any of you been hired to put
\ntogether A-Team for your job, <\/p>\n
303
\n00:18:40,640 –> 00:18:43,000
\nyou would never end up with a
\nteam like this. <\/p>\n
304
\n00:18:46,440 –> 00:18:52,240
\nYour project would be doomed.
\nChrist knew exactly what he was <\/p>\n
305
\n00:18:52,240 –> 00:18:53,480
\ndoing.
\nAnd not only that, but he <\/p>\n
306
\n00:18:53,480 –> 00:18:57,160
\npurposefully introduces chaos.
\nHe purposefully introduces <\/p>\n
307
\n00:18:57,160 –> 00:19:02,120
\ncompetition in the group because
\nhe needs everyone to learn to <\/p>\n
308
\n00:19:02,120 –> 00:19:06,200
\nwork together.
\nThat’s the point of the road to <\/p>\n
309
\n00:19:06,200 –> 00:19:08,800
\nJerusalem.
\nBrothers and sisters, everybody <\/p>\n
310
\n00:19:08,800 –> 00:19:12,760
\nin this room, we’re all going to
\nthe same place, but nobody in <\/p>\n
311
\n00:19:12,760 –> 00:19:14,920
\nthis room is exactly like
\nsomebody else. <\/p>\n
312
\n00:19:15,680 –> 00:19:19,000
\nAnd as special as we think we
\nare and as great as we think we <\/p>\n
313
\n00:19:19,000 –> 00:19:22,080
\nare, we’re not.
\nWe’re just like everyone else <\/p>\n
314
\n00:19:22,280 –> 00:19:27,000
\ntrying to get to New Jerusalem.
\nAnd so he puts together this <\/p>\n
315
\n00:19:27,080 –> 00:19:31,920
\ngroup because he says you’re
\ngoing to be in an ecclesia, <\/p>\n
316
\n00:19:32,560 –> 00:19:36,000
\nyou’re going to be working with
\nbrothers and sisters, you’re <\/p>\n
317
\n00:19:36,000 –> 00:19:38,840
\ngoing to be put down at a table
\nneeding to make a decision with <\/p>\n
318
\n00:19:38,840 –> 00:19:40,200
\nsomebody that you don’t agree
\nwith. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:19:40,200 –> 00:19:49,040
\nAnd you got to learn to work
\ntogether for a long time. <\/p>\n
320
\n00:19:49,560 –> 00:19:56,000
\nYeah, a long time.
\nThese guys, every day for over <\/p>\n
321
\n00:19:56,000 –> 00:19:59,600
\nthree years.
\nDo you think that they would <\/p>\n
322
\n00:19:59,600 –> 00:20:03,080
\nhave kind of gotten under each
\nother’s skin from time to time? <\/p>\n
323
\n00:20:03,960 –> 00:20:06,280
\nDo you think that they would
\nhave had fights from time to <\/p>\n
324
\n00:20:06,280 –> 00:20:07,400
\ntime?
\nWe’re told they did. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:20:08,920 –> 00:20:10,560
\nIs that how ecclesial life
\nworks? <\/p>\n
326
\n00:20:11,200 –> 00:20:13,800
\nYou better believe that’s how
\necclesial life works. <\/p>\n
327
\n00:20:14,320 –> 00:20:16,320
\nThere’s a committee for this
\nBible school, isn’t there? <\/p>\n
328
\n00:20:16,760 –> 00:20:19,120
\nDo you think every time that
\nthey sit down and there’s a <\/p>\n
329
\n00:20:19,120 –> 00:20:21,560
\ndecision to be made that they
\nsay, oh, this is easy. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:20:21,560 –> 00:20:22,920
\nOh, this is easy.
\nOh, this is easy. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:20:22,960 –> 00:20:26,560
\nDone at the meeting, I see some
\npeople nodding their heads every<\/p>\n
332
\n00:20:26,560 –> 00:20:30,040
\ntime.
\nThat’s never how it works. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:20:30,520 –> 00:20:33,440
\nWe come to the table thinking
\nthis is the best idea I’ve ever <\/p>\n
334
\n00:20:33,440 –> 00:20:37,080
\nhad, and somebody says that’s a
\ncrazy idea. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:20:37,080 –> 00:20:40,280
\nAnd we go, that’s ridiculous.
\nI quit this committee. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:20:41,680 –> 00:20:46,680
\nBut it happens, brothers and
\nsisters, we got to learn to work<\/p>\n
337
\n00:20:46,680 –> 00:20:50,240
\ntogether.
\nIt gets worse, these 12. <\/p>\n
338
\n00:20:51,040 –> 00:20:54,880
\nThink about this again in your
\njob perspective, think about <\/p>\n
339
\n00:20:54,880 –> 00:20:57,280
\nthis.
\nYou put together your team of <\/p>\n
340
\n00:20:57,280 –> 00:21:02,520
\n12.
\nNot only would you not classify <\/p>\n
341
\n00:21:02,520 –> 00:21:05,880
\nthis as the dream team, but
\nyou’re sitting together the <\/p>\n
342
\n00:21:05,880 –> 00:21:09,560
\nfirst day of the job with your
\nnew 12 employees and you have a <\/p>\n
343
\n00:21:09,560 –> 00:21:12,360
\njob on caliber with, you know,
\nfilling everything. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:21:12,360 –> 00:21:16,960
\nThe prophets are written about
\nyou and your disciples. <\/p>\n
345
\n00:21:16,960 –> 00:21:20,280
\nYour employees have no idea what
\nyour mission is. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:21:21,960 –> 00:21:24,000
\nWho is this?
\nThat even the winds in the <\/p>\n
347
\n00:21:24,000 –> 00:21:28,400
\nwater, they obey him.
\nLuke 9, We looked at this day 2.<\/p>\n
348
\n00:21:28,400 –> 00:21:31,600
\nThey didn’t understand the
\nsaying it was concealed from. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:21:31,720 –> 00:21:34,600
\nThey didn’t perceive it right
\nbefore they entered Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
350
\n00:21:34,800 –> 00:21:36,600
\nThey understood none of these
\nthings. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:21:36,920 –> 00:21:39,920
\nThe saying was hid from them.
\nNeither knew they the things <\/p>\n
352
\n00:21:39,920 –> 00:21:42,880
\nwhich were spoken.
\nYou spend three years every day <\/p>\n
353
\n00:21:42,880 –> 00:21:45,160
\nwith your employees, your 12
\nemployees. <\/p>\n
354
\n00:21:46,920 –> 00:21:50,280
\nOn 1\/3 year they go wait a
\nsecond, what is it we’re working<\/p>\n
355
\n00:21:50,280 –> 00:22:00,240
\non again?
\nAnd you go, brothers and <\/p>\n
356
\n00:22:00,240 –> 00:22:06,200
\nsisters, Christ was something
\nspecial because Christ put up <\/p>\n
357
\n00:22:06,200 –> 00:22:08,520
\nwith those 12.
\nAnd guess who else he puts up <\/p>\n
358
\n00:22:08,520 –> 00:22:11,560
\nwith?
\nHe puts up with us. <\/p>\n
359
\n00:22:12,760 –> 00:22:16,960
\nAnd we could sit there at a, at
\na, at a meeting at our ecclesia <\/p>\n
360
\n00:22:17,120 –> 00:22:20,760
\ntrying to decide what color
\ncarpet to put in and we can have<\/p>\n
361
\n00:22:20,760 –> 00:22:22,880
\nhours long meeting fighting with
\neach other. <\/p>\n
362
\n00:22:25,440 –> 00:22:30,040
\nWe got to learn to work
\ntogether, brothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:22:30,320 –> 00:22:37,960
\nThat’s the point of why He puts
\ntogether literally the best team<\/p>\n
364
\n00:22:38,040 –> 00:22:43,200
\nthat’s ever been assembled.
\nThere was no greater team in the<\/p>\n
365
\n00:22:43,200 –> 00:22:46,480
\nhistory of mankind than those
\n12. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:22:48,480 –> 00:22:55,080
\nThey went with Christ to
\nJerusalem and they got Him <\/p>\n
367
\n00:22:55,080 –> 00:22:58,000
\nthere.
\nSure, Jesus had to pull them <\/p>\n
368
\n00:22:58,000 –> 00:23:02,360
\nevery inch of the way.
\nSure it was challenging. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:23:02,520 –> 00:23:08,280
\nSure, it looked impossible, but
\nman, what a journey it was, what<\/p>\n
370
\n00:23:08,280 –> 00:23:14,520
\nlove Christ showed these 12.
\nSo with that background, now <\/p>\n
371
\n00:23:14,920 –> 00:23:22,000
\nwith that example and with that
\ncontext of who these 12 were, <\/p>\n
372
\n00:23:23,880 –> 00:23:25,520
\nlet’s look at their road to
\nJerusalem together. <\/p>\n
373
\n00:23:26,200 –> 00:23:28,760
\nSo let’s go to the beginning,
\nLuke Chapter 9. <\/p>\n
374
\n00:23:28,760 –> 00:23:31,040
\nWe know we’re going to depart
\nfor Jerusalem in what verse? <\/p>\n
375
\n00:23:31,040 –> 00:23:34,680
\nLuke 9, 51 We’re going to leave
\nfor Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
376
\n00:23:34,880 –> 00:23:37,200
\nLet’s just go a few verses back
\nand let’s see. <\/p>\n
377
\n00:23:39,840 –> 00:23:42,840
\nWe’ve looked at verse 45.
\nThey did not understand the <\/p>\n
378
\n00:23:42,840 –> 00:23:45,200
\nsaying.
\nIt was concealed from them, so <\/p>\n
379
\n00:23:45,200 –> 00:23:48,520
\nthey might not perceive it, and
\nthey were afraid to ask Him <\/p>\n
380
\n00:23:48,520 –> 00:23:52,240
\nabout the saying.
\nSo we know now that this is our <\/p>\n
381
\n00:23:52,240 –> 00:23:54,080
\ncontext.
\nWe know we’re leaving in verse <\/p>\n
382
\n00:23:54,080 –> 00:23:57,600
\n51.
\nWe are 5 verses away. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:23:58,360 –> 00:24:02,360
\nVerse 46.
\nAn argument arose among them as <\/p>\n
384
\n00:24:02,360 –> 00:24:08,720
\nto what were these disciples
\njust like us or what? <\/p>\n
385
\n00:24:10,720 –> 00:24:12,880
\nHere Christ says, here’s our
\nmission. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:24:13,440 –> 00:24:16,720
\nI got to go to Jerusalem.
\nI’ll be shamed, I’ll be <\/p>\n
387
\n00:24:16,720 –> 00:24:19,400
\ntortured, I’ll be killed, and on
\nthe third day I’ll rise again <\/p>\n
388
\n00:24:20,480 –> 00:24:22,000
\nand you go.
\nI don’t know what he’s talking <\/p>\n
389
\n00:24:22,000 –> 00:24:25,280
\nabout, but I think I’m better
\nthan you are. <\/p>\n
390
\n00:24:27,680 –> 00:24:31,960
\nVerse 46, an argument arose as
\nto which one of them was the <\/p>\n
391
\n00:24:31,960 –> 00:24:36,600
\ngreatest.
\nThese were flawed, egotistic, <\/p>\n
392
\n00:24:36,800 –> 00:24:40,960
\nbiased human beings.
\nIt’s a totally childish <\/p>\n
393
\n00:24:40,960 –> 00:24:42,360
\nargument, isn’t it, Brothers and
\nsisters? <\/p>\n
394
\n00:24:42,640 –> 00:24:46,480
\nIt’s, it’s something that that
\nall of us think, but none of us,<\/p>\n
395
\n00:24:46,480 –> 00:24:49,800
\nwell, most of us are mature
\nenough not to say these things <\/p>\n
396
\n00:24:49,800 –> 00:24:51,680
\nout loud.
\nWe would never, ever express <\/p>\n
397
\n00:24:51,680 –> 00:24:54,560
\nthese things.
\nBut again, is it any surprise? <\/p>\n
398
\n00:24:54,600 –> 00:24:58,520
\nLook at the 12 he’s chosen.
\nIs it any surprise that he has <\/p>\n
399
\n00:24:58,520 –> 00:25:00,280
\nto deal with this right off the
\nbat? <\/p>\n
400
\n00:25:02,120 –> 00:25:04,360
\nOur journey to Jerusalem.
\nBut this is exactly the same. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:25:04,360 –> 00:25:07,280
\nBut we would never argue about
\nwho’s the greatest, would we? <\/p>\n
402
\n00:25:08,800 –> 00:25:10,240
\nWhat about on the way home from
\nmeeting? <\/p>\n
403
\n00:25:13,080 –> 00:25:15,080
\nWhat about with our children
\naround the dinner table? <\/p>\n
404
\n00:25:18,160 –> 00:25:20,360
\nWhat about with our friends or
\nbrothers or sisters? <\/p>\n
405
\n00:25:20,560 –> 00:25:23,920
\nTexting, calling.
\nDo we ever put down others and <\/p>\n
406
\n00:25:23,920 –> 00:25:26,360
\nelevate ourselves?
\nDo we ever actually have the <\/p>\n
407
\n00:25:26,360 –> 00:25:33,680
\nwho’s the greatest argument?
\nEven worse, do we have these <\/p>\n
408
\n00:25:33,680 –> 00:25:35,600
\narguments in front of our
\nchildren? <\/p>\n
409
\n00:25:37,600 –> 00:25:40,760
\nWe can’t do that.
\nThat’s not how collegial life <\/p>\n
410
\n00:25:40,760 –> 00:25:44,720
\nworks.
\nBut they had an argument as to <\/p>\n
411
\n00:25:44,720 –> 00:25:50,520
\nwho was the greatest.
\nAnd remember this is immediately<\/p>\n
412
\n00:25:50,520 –> 00:25:55,080
\nfollowing when he expresses what
\nwould happen to him at the hands<\/p>\n
413
\n00:25:55,080 –> 00:25:56,800
\nof men.
\nThey had really no clue what was<\/p>\n
414
\n00:25:56,800 –> 00:25:59,440
\ngoing on.
\nAll that mattered to them now is<\/p>\n
415
\n00:25:59,480 –> 00:26:05,560
\nwho’s the top disciple.
\nSo why is it a problem where <\/p>\n
416
\n00:26:05,640 –> 00:26:07,720
\nthis argument about who’s
\ngreater? <\/p>\n
417
\n00:26:07,840 –> 00:26:10,160
\nHow is this anti working
\ntogether? <\/p>\n
418
\n00:26:10,320 –> 00:26:13,960
\nHow is putting yourself in a
\nfictional place with superiority<\/p>\n
419
\n00:26:14,200 –> 00:26:16,920
\nbetter?
\nSorry, different and against <\/p>\n
420
\n00:26:17,480 –> 00:26:20,160
\nworking together.
\nWell, what happens is when you <\/p>\n
421
\n00:26:20,200 –> 00:26:24,480
\nelevate yourself automatically,
\nnow other people have to be <\/p>\n
422
\n00:26:24,480 –> 00:26:26,840
\nbelow you.
\nThat’s just what what happens. <\/p>\n
423
\n00:26:27,640 –> 00:26:30,080
\nBut everybody needs to be on the
\nsame plane, the same field, the <\/p>\n
424
\n00:26:30,080 –> 00:26:32,920
\nsame level if they’re walking
\ntogether to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:26:33,680 –> 00:26:36,960
\nSo when you have this argument
\nnow about who’s the greatest, <\/p>\n
426
\n00:26:37,480 –> 00:26:41,440
\nyou’re now saying, well, there’s
\nlevels that we need to worry <\/p>\n
427
\n00:26:41,440 –> 00:26:45,680
\nabout as well because you need
\nto do more work than I do and <\/p>\n
428
\n00:26:46,000 –> 00:26:48,120
\nyou didn’t do way more work than
\nI do. <\/p>\n
429
\n00:26:48,640 –> 00:26:51,160
\nI know we’re all going the same
\nplace, but try to pick it up, <\/p>\n
430
\n00:26:51,160 –> 00:26:53,360
\nman.
\nAnd this is this is an issue. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:26:53,360 –> 00:26:58,080
\nThis is a problem.
\nWe need to learn to work <\/p>\n
432
\n00:26:58,240 –> 00:27:00,880
\ntogether.
\nSo how does this argument really<\/p>\n
433
\n00:27:00,880 –> 00:27:02,840
\ncome from?
\nBecause I think it’s fascinating<\/p>\n
434
\n00:27:03,120 –> 00:27:05,280
\nand it’s exactly where the
\nargument will come from in our <\/p>\n
435
\n00:27:05,280 –> 00:27:07,840
\nEclesius.
\nLook at verse 40. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:27:07,840 –> 00:27:13,800
\nIt says in verse 40, the man, he
\ncomes to Jesus. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:27:15,000 –> 00:27:17,400
\nHe says, I beg you to heal my
\nson. <\/p>\n
438
\n00:27:17,880 –> 00:27:21,200
\nI tried to ask your disciples,
\nI, I begged your disciples to <\/p>\n
439
\n00:27:21,200 –> 00:27:25,800
\ncast it out, but they could not.
\nAnd there’s a boy with an <\/p>\n
440
\n00:27:25,800 –> 00:27:27,760
\nunclean spirit, and he would
\nthrow him to the ground, he <\/p>\n
441
\n00:27:27,760 –> 00:27:30,920
\nwould convulse.
\nAnd he comes to the disciples <\/p>\n
442
\n00:27:30,920 –> 00:27:34,440
\nand say, please heal my boy.
\nHeal my boy, he says. <\/p>\n
443
\n00:27:35,200 –> 00:27:39,840
\nAnd they couldn’t.
\nMatthew 17 says to the <\/p>\n
444
\n00:27:39,840 –> 00:27:41,880
\ndisciples, Christ says because
\nof your little faith. <\/p>\n
445
\n00:27:41,880 –> 00:27:44,920
\nHe says, for truly I say to you,
\nif you have faith like a grain <\/p>\n
446
\n00:27:44,920 –> 00:27:48,320
\nof mustard seed, you’ll say to
\nthis mountain, move from here to<\/p>\n
447
\n00:27:48,320 –> 00:27:50,160
\nthere and it’ll move and nothing
\nwill be impossible to you. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:27:50,440 –> 00:27:52,640
\nSo he says there was a lack of
\nfaith that made it so these <\/p>\n
449
\n00:27:52,640 –> 00:27:56,240
\ndisciples couldn’t heal.
\nThe boy could the disciples <\/p>\n
450
\n00:27:56,240 –> 00:28:01,320
\nheal?
\nVerse 6, same chapter, they <\/p>\n
451
\n00:28:01,320 –> 00:28:03,560
\ndeparted and went through the
\nvillages preaching the gospel <\/p>\n
452
\n00:28:03,600 –> 00:28:07,800
\nand healing everywhere.
\nCould the disciples heal? <\/p>\n
453
\n00:28:08,480 –> 00:28:11,960
\nYes, they come now to this boy
\nand they cannot. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:28:12,200 –> 00:28:14,760
\nWhat’s wrong?
\nWhat’s the matter? <\/p>\n
455
\n00:28:15,120 –> 00:28:16,640
\nChrist says in Matthew, it’s
\ntheir faith. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:28:17,320 –> 00:28:21,200
\nWhat was the problem here?
\nWell, we know what’s in their <\/p>\n
457
\n00:28:21,200 –> 00:28:24,280
\nmind.
\nLet’s look at when Christ heals <\/p>\n
458
\n00:28:24,280 –> 00:28:28,600
\nhim further on in the verse,
\nverse 41, Jesus said, O <\/p>\n
459
\n00:28:28,600 –> 00:28:30,600
\nfaithless and twisted
\ngeneration, how long am I to be <\/p>\n
460
\n00:28:30,600 –> 00:28:33,360
\nwith you and bear with you?
\nBring your son here, he says. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:28:33,760 –> 00:28:36,120
\nWhile he was coming, the demon
\nthrew him to the ground and <\/p>\n
462
\n00:28:36,160 –> 00:28:38,160
\nrevulsed him.
\nBut Jesus rebuked the unclean <\/p>\n
463
\n00:28:38,160 –> 00:28:43,800
\nspirit, healed the boy, gave him
\nback to his father, and all were<\/p>\n
464
\n00:28:43,800 –> 00:28:53,360
\nastonished at what Jesus the
\nmajesty of God. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:28:54,640 –> 00:28:57,320
\nThey didn’t look to Jesus and
\nsay, Wow, Jesus, you’re an <\/p>\n
466
\n00:28:57,320 –> 00:29:02,000
\namazing healer.
\nThey knew full well that the <\/p>\n
467
\n00:29:02,000 –> 00:29:05,440
\nhealing came from the majesty of
\nGod. <\/p>\n
468
\n00:29:06,200 –> 00:29:08,400
\nSo what do you suppose the
\nproblem with the disciples would<\/p>\n
469
\n00:29:08,400 –> 00:29:11,240
\nhave been?
\nIf just verses later, they’re <\/p>\n
470
\n00:29:11,240 –> 00:29:12,960
\narguing about who’s the best and
\nwho’s better? <\/p>\n
471
\n00:29:13,640 –> 00:29:15,240
\nWhat do you suppose the problem
\nwas? <\/p>\n
472
\n00:29:17,400 –> 00:29:22,280
\nWell, I think it’s stems from
\nthis idea of who could heal him.<\/p>\n
473
\n00:29:23,360 –> 00:29:24,880
\nI’m, I think I’m a better
\ndisciple. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:29:24,880 –> 00:29:26,840
\nI’ll give it a stab, Peter, get
\nout of my way. <\/p>\n
475
\n00:29:26,840 –> 00:29:33,280
\nAnd it didn’t work.
\nHe couldn’t heal him and so that<\/p>\n
476
\n00:29:33,280 –> 00:29:37,600
\nthey go through the the reins
\nand nobody can heal him and he <\/p>\n
477
\n00:29:37,600 –> 00:29:40,080
\nbrings them to the Jesus says I
\nwent to your disciples and they <\/p>\n
478
\n00:29:40,080 –> 00:29:42,160
\ncouldn’t.
\nHe says you’re faithless. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:29:43,040 –> 00:29:45,680
\nHe heals him and majesty
\ninstantly from the crowd goes to<\/p>\n
480
\n00:29:45,680 –> 00:29:49,080
\nGod.
\nYou want to learn to work <\/p>\n
481
\n00:29:49,080 –> 00:29:53,800
\ntogether brothers and sisters,
\nwho cares who does the work, Who<\/p>\n
482
\n00:29:53,800 –> 00:29:56,520
\ncares who gets the praise Just
\nget it done. <\/p>\n
483
\n00:29:57,760 –> 00:30:01,680
\nGet the work done.
\nDon’t care about what eyeballs <\/p>\n
484
\n00:30:01,680 –> 00:30:04,720
\nare looking at you don’t care
\nabout who gives you a round of <\/p>\n
485
\n00:30:04,720 –> 00:30:07,320
\napplause when you’re done.
\nJust get the work done. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:30:07,800 –> 00:30:12,680
\nBring more people to Jerusalem.
\nBut these people, these <\/p>\n
487
\n00:30:12,680 –> 00:30:18,760
\ndisciples were arguing about who
\nwas the greatest brothers and <\/p>\n
488
\n00:30:18,760 –> 00:30:26,600
\nsisters. 1 Little quick side
\nnote, take a look at verse 42. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:30:27,240 –> 00:30:30,720
\nI think hidden in verse 42 is
\nprobably the shortest summary of<\/p>\n
490
\n00:30:30,720 –> 00:30:33,280
\nthe road to Jerusalem that we
\nhave just just hidden in there. <\/p>\n
491
\n00:30:33,280 –> 00:30:35,560
\nLook at verse 42.
\nThink about this. <\/p>\n
492
\n00:30:36,480 –> 00:30:39,280
\nJesus rebuked the unclean
\nspirit. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:30:39,760 –> 00:30:43,600
\nHe heals the boy and gives him
\nback to his Father. <\/p>\n
494
\n00:30:45,240 –> 00:30:48,000
\nThat was Christ’s mission all
\nalong, to rebuke the unclean <\/p>\n
495
\n00:30:48,000 –> 00:30:53,520
\nspirit, to heal the boy and to
\nascend to his Father. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:30:53,640 –> 00:30:55,880
\nThat’s what Uncle Stevens been
\nlooking at with us in Class 3. <\/p>\n
497
\n00:30:56,280 –> 00:31:00,760
\nTo bring him back to the Father
\nhidden in here was his mission <\/p>\n
498
\n00:31:00,760 –> 00:31:02,880
\nall along.
\nLet’s keep moving. <\/p>\n
499
\n00:31:03,800 –> 00:31:06,120
\nSo they have this argument about
\nwho is the greatest. <\/p>\n
500
\n00:31:06,360 –> 00:31:09,600
\nVerse 46, an argument arose
\namong them about which one was <\/p>\n
501
\n00:31:09,600 –> 00:31:11,320
\nthe greatest.
\nThey completely missed the point<\/p>\n
502
\n00:31:11,320 –> 00:31:13,880
\nabout why they’re journeying
\nwhat Christ is going there for. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:31:13,960 –> 00:31:15,400
\nAnd they come back to the
\nargument saying, well, why <\/p>\n
504
\n00:31:15,400 –> 00:31:16,680
\ncouldn’t you heal them?
\nWell, I couldn’t heal them <\/p>\n
505
\n00:31:16,680 –> 00:31:18,360
\nbecause of this reason, but I’m
\nstill better than you. <\/p>\n
506
\n00:31:18,600 –> 00:31:22,600
\nVerse 47 But Jesus, knowing the
\nreasoning of their hearts, takes<\/p>\n
507
\n00:31:22,640 –> 00:31:28,960
\na child.
\nHe takes a child and put him by <\/p>\n
508
\n00:31:28,960 –> 00:31:32,240
\nhis side and said to them,
\nwhoever receives this child in <\/p>\n
509
\n00:31:32,240 –> 00:31:36,080
\nmy name receives me, and
\nwhosoever receives me receives <\/p>\n
510
\n00:31:36,080 –> 00:31:40,320
\nhim who sent me.
\nFor he who is least among you <\/p>\n
511
\n00:31:40,360 –> 00:31:47,040
\nall is the one who is great.
\nWhat he’s going to do is he’s <\/p>\n
512
\n00:31:47,040 –> 00:31:51,840
\ngoing to demonstrate now this
\nprinciple of humility. <\/p>\n
513
\n00:31:53,880 –> 00:31:56,560
\nBrothers and sisters, you want
\nto learn how to work together. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:31:58,440 –> 00:32:05,120
\nIt’s humility.
\nHow many times would pure <\/p>\n
515
\n00:32:05,120 –> 00:32:08,200
\nhumility solve a cliche of
\nproblems? <\/p>\n
516
\n00:32:09,480 –> 00:32:12,320
\nSo many times, wouldn’t it?
\nSo many times. <\/p>\n
517
\n00:32:12,320 –> 00:32:16,720
\nAnd he brings a little child to
\nhim and he says whoever wants, <\/p>\n
518
\n00:32:17,240 –> 00:32:20,000
\nwhoever is least among you shall
\nbe great. <\/p>\n
519
\n00:32:20,440 –> 00:32:24,520
\nNow our minds, my mind, pardon
\nme, my mind automatically says, <\/p>\n
520
\n00:32:24,520 –> 00:32:29,200
\nOK, Jason wants to be great.
\nJesus says that to be great you <\/p>\n
521
\n00:32:29,200 –> 00:32:32,320
\nneed to be least.
\nSo from to get from A to BI need<\/p>\n
522
\n00:32:32,600 –> 00:32:35,480
\nto be least that way I’m always
\naiming at being great. <\/p>\n
523
\n00:32:35,480 –> 00:32:39,360
\nIs that what Jesus is saying?
\nNot at all, not at all. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:32:40,640 –> 00:32:43,320
\nThe point about being least is
\nactually to be the least. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:32:44,640 –> 00:32:47,720
\nHe says be the least because you
\nactually are the least. <\/p>\n
526
\n00:32:48,600 –> 00:32:54,720
\nYou’re ordinary, you’re average,
\nyou’re a normal person, you’re <\/p>\n
527
\n00:32:54,720 –> 00:32:57,760
\nthe least among the brethren.
\nHe says if you actually view <\/p>\n
528
\n00:32:57,760 –> 00:33:00,400
\nyourself as the least, not so
\nyou could be great, but so you <\/p>\n
529
\n00:33:00,400 –> 00:33:02,440
\ncan be the least, God will lift
\nyou up. <\/p>\n
530
\n00:33:02,680 –> 00:33:04,680
\nChrist will make you the
\ngreatest. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:33:05,560 –> 00:33:11,320
\nHe brings a boy to him, to his
\nside, and he finds a child and <\/p>\n
532
\n00:33:11,320 –> 00:33:15,400
\nhe says whoever receives me
\nreceives him who sent me for <\/p>\n
533
\n00:33:15,400 –> 00:33:18,120
\nhe’s least among you is the one
\nwho is great. <\/p>\n
534
\n00:33:20,120 –> 00:33:25,640
\nWhat he’s going to do now is he
\nis going to teach us humility <\/p>\n
535
\n00:33:27,080 –> 00:33:31,680
\nand we’re going to get this
\nbeautiful story on the road to <\/p>\n
536
\n00:33:31,680 –> 00:33:34,840
\nJerusalem.
\nWe’re going to be given three <\/p>\n
537
\n00:33:34,840 –> 00:33:38,880
\nstories of children.
\nWell, each one of these is going<\/p>\n
538
\n00:33:38,880 –> 00:33:44,000
\nto teach us a little bit extra.
\nAnother layer about this <\/p>\n
539
\n00:33:44,000 –> 00:33:47,760
\nhumility principle that we can
\nlearn from kids. <\/p>\n
540
\n00:33:49,400 –> 00:33:54,720
\nKids can teach us a lot.
\nThe 1st is becoming teachable, <\/p>\n
541
\n00:33:55,080 –> 00:34:00,960
\nthe second is learning to ask,
\nand the third is accepting <\/p>\n
542
\n00:34:00,960 –> 00:34:04,120
\ngraciously.
\nAnd these three principles we’re<\/p>\n
543
\n00:34:04,120 –> 00:34:08,960
\ngoing to see in Luke 1011 and 18
\nall in this row to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
544
\n00:34:09,120 –> 00:34:12,400
\nBut he introduces it steps
\nbefore verse 51. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:34:13,719 –> 00:34:16,480
\nHe says he brings a kid to him.
\nThis is verse 48. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:34:16,480 –> 00:34:19,239
\nWe’re 3 verses away.
\nHe brings a child to him and <\/p>\n
547
\n00:34:19,239 –> 00:34:23,719
\nsays learn to be like this kid,
\nexcept with humility. <\/p>\n
548
\n00:34:23,920 –> 00:34:27,520
\nBe the least.
\nNow, Are you ready to go? <\/p>\n
549
\n00:34:29,600 –> 00:34:30,880
\nAnd we’re going to go through
\nthese three stories. <\/p>\n
550
\n00:34:30,880 –> 00:34:35,679
\nAnd we’re going to get as far as
\nwe can with the actually only 15<\/p>\n
551
\n00:34:35,679 –> 00:34:37,760
\nminutes, 15 minutes we have
\nleft. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:34:38,920 –> 00:34:44,080
\nBecoming teachable, learning to
\nask and graciously accepting. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:34:45,239 –> 00:34:48,320
\nBecause what we’re going to
\nnotice is there’s the showdown <\/p>\n
554
\n00:34:48,320 –> 00:34:51,199
\non the road to Jerusalem.
\nHe’s going to show multiple <\/p>\n
555
\n00:34:51,199 –> 00:34:56,080
\ntimes that we need to act like
\nlittle helpless children when it<\/p>\n
556
\n00:34:56,080 –> 00:34:59,960
\ncomes to our Father.
\nWe need to act like kids to our <\/p>\n
557
\n00:34:59,960 –> 00:35:01,920
\nFather.
\nAnd this is the very last thing <\/p>\n
558
\n00:35:01,920 –> 00:35:03,960
\nhe’s going to teach us before he
\nleaves for Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:35:04,040 –> 00:35:07,240
\nVerse 48.
\nSo let’s take a look then at our<\/p>\n
560
\n00:35:07,240 –> 00:35:10,240
\nfirst.
\nThe first one is this finding <\/p>\n
561
\n00:35:10,240 –> 00:35:11,480
\nhumility.
\nWe’ve already looked at in verse<\/p>\n
562
\n00:35:11,480 –> 00:35:15,240
\n48.
\nThe kid principle is this is the<\/p>\n
563
\n00:35:15,240 –> 00:35:19,200
\nkid principle.
\nActing humbly shows that you <\/p>\n
564
\n00:35:19,200 –> 00:35:21,600
\nunderstand your place in
\nrelation to the Father. <\/p>\n
565
\n00:35:21,600 –> 00:35:25,320
\nThe father can make great the
\nlowest. <\/p>\n
566
\n00:35:25,880 –> 00:35:28,760
\nThat’s the kid principle.
\nThe principle here was humility.<\/p>\n
567
\n00:35:28,760 –> 00:35:31,480
\nWhoever acts like the least
\nimportant was in God’s eyes, <\/p>\n
568
\n00:35:31,480 –> 00:35:34,320
\nactually the most, because he’s
\nelevating God automatically by <\/p>\n
569
\n00:35:34,320 –> 00:35:36,600
\nputting himself down.
\nThere’s no struggle with <\/p>\n
570
\n00:35:36,600 –> 00:35:40,120
\nhierarchy in the mind of a
\nchild, is there? <\/p>\n
571
\n00:35:42,320 –> 00:35:46,360
\nAnd I’m talking young children.
\nMy 4 year old is already <\/p>\n
572
\n00:35:46,360 –> 00:35:48,440
\nstarting to push the boundaries
\nof hierarchy. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:35:48,720 –> 00:35:50,320
\nIt’s amazing how fast it
\nhappens. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:35:50,560 –> 00:35:53,960
\nI’m talking maybe 3 and under,
\nlittle children. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:35:54,040 –> 00:35:58,400
\nLittle children is what Christ
\nsays, but a little child knows <\/p>\n
576
\n00:35:58,400 –> 00:36:03,520
\nthe hierarchy of the family.
\nWhat we’ll notice just quickly, <\/p>\n
577
\n00:36:04,200 –> 00:36:07,200
\nthe older the children get, the
\nmore they abandoned these kid <\/p>\n
578
\n00:36:07,200 –> 00:36:09,880
\nprinciples and take on adult
\nmistakes. <\/p>\n
579
\n00:36:13,280 –> 00:36:15,120
\nWe’re in Luke 9 verse 48 at the
\nmoment. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:36:15,120 –> 00:36:16,720
\nYep, we’re going to get to the
\nadult principal right now. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:36:18,360 –> 00:36:22,320
\nOK, so the story was in Luke 40,
\nLuke 946 to 48. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:36:22,320 –> 00:36:27,680
\nThat was our argument.
\nNow we have a couple more verses<\/p>\n
583
\n00:36:28,160 –> 00:36:32,600
\nbecause John instantly gives us
\nthe how adults take it. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:36:33,120 –> 00:36:35,440
\nSo the principle is least shall
\nbe greatest. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:36:35,600 –> 00:36:40,000
\nJohn verse 49, John answered
\nMaster verse 49. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:36:40,160 –> 00:36:44,360
\nYou know, we saw someone casting
\nout demons in your name and we <\/p>\n
587
\n00:36:44,360 –> 00:36:47,680
\ntried to stop him because he
\ndoesn’t follow with us. <\/p>\n
588
\n00:36:48,680 –> 00:36:51,840
\nBut Jesus said to him, don’t
\nstop him for the one who is not <\/p>\n
589
\n00:36:51,840 –> 00:36:56,440
\nagainst you is for you.
\nVery next verse, by the way, we <\/p>\n
590
\n00:36:56,440 –> 00:36:58,360
\ngo to Jerusalem.
\nSo this is it. <\/p>\n
591
\n00:36:58,360 –> 00:37:03,480
\nThis is this is the end of the
\npre journey narrative and John <\/p>\n
592
\n00:37:03,480 –> 00:37:06,920
\njumps up and says, look, Jesus,
\nwe saw him with someone casting <\/p>\n
593
\n00:37:06,920 –> 00:37:09,160
\nout names.
\nSorry, demons in your name. <\/p>\n
594
\n00:37:09,920 –> 00:37:12,480
\nDon’t worry, we tried to stop
\nhim. <\/p>\n
595
\n00:37:13,640 –> 00:37:17,640
\nWhat does Jesus say?
\nWhat does Jesus say? <\/p>\n
596
\n00:37:18,960 –> 00:37:22,400
\nDon’t stop him.
\nFor the one who’s not against <\/p>\n
597
\n00:37:22,400 –> 00:37:26,480
\nyou is for you.
\nHow many times would that solve <\/p>\n
598
\n00:37:26,480 –> 00:37:32,600
\nproblems at an ecclesial
\ncommittee meeting if you sat <\/p>\n
599
\n00:37:32,600 –> 00:37:34,800
\ndown, you actually thought
\nabout, you know what? <\/p>\n
600
\n00:37:34,800 –> 00:37:36,440
\nWe’re actually all working on
\nthe same thing. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:37:37,920 –> 00:37:42,280
\nInstead of look, look, look,
\nthat guy over there, he’s taken <\/p>\n
602
\n00:37:42,280 –> 00:37:45,240
\nall the credit.
\nIt’s in your name, Jesus. <\/p>\n
603
\n00:37:45,880 –> 00:37:48,800
\nDon’t worry, we put an end to
\nit. <\/p>\n
604
\n00:37:50,440 –> 00:37:52,760
\nThink about that.
\nThink about what he’s saying. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:37:52,840 –> 00:37:55,080
\nWe look at this and we go, how
\nchildish. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:37:55,640 –> 00:37:59,800
\nHow could John do that?
\nBrother, sisters, has this story<\/p>\n
607
\n00:37:59,800 –> 00:38:02,480
\nhappened before?
\nYeah, it’s happened before. <\/p>\n
608
\n00:38:02,840 –> 00:38:05,160
\nYou don’t have to go there.
\nI’ll, I’ll read you the story. <\/p>\n
609
\n00:38:05,160 –> 00:38:08,000
\nBut it’s number Chapter 11.
\nThis has happened before. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:38:08,320 –> 00:38:10,640
\nThis happens probably in our
\necclesias. <\/p>\n
611
\n00:38:11,560 –> 00:38:18,040
\nNumber Chapter 11, it says in
\nverse 24, Numbers 11, verse 24. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:38:18,960 –> 00:38:21,240
\nSo Moses went out and told the
\npeople the words of Yahweh, and <\/p>\n
613
\n00:38:21,400 –> 00:38:24,040
\nhe gathered 70 men of the elders
\nof the people and placed them <\/p>\n
614
\n00:38:24,040 –> 00:38:25,960
\naround the tent.
\nThen Yahweh came down in the <\/p>\n
615
\n00:38:25,960 –> 00:38:28,640
\ncloud and spoke to him and took
\nsome of the spirit that was on <\/p>\n
616
\n00:38:28,640 –> 00:38:31,640
\nhim and put on the 70 elders.
\nAnd as soon as the spirit rested<\/p>\n
617
\n00:38:31,640 –> 00:38:36,240
\non them, they prophesied, but
\nthey did not continue doing it. <\/p>\n
618
\n00:38:36,560 –> 00:38:40,320
\nSo these men, these 70 are given
\nthe Spirit and they’re <\/p>\n
619
\n00:38:40,320 –> 00:38:43,400
\nprophesying.
\nNow it says in verse 26, two men<\/p>\n
620
\n00:38:43,400 –> 00:38:47,760
\nremained in the camp.
\nWe’ve heard these names, Eldad <\/p>\n
621
\n00:38:47,760 –> 00:38:49,800
\nand me Dad.
\nThe Spirit rested on them. <\/p>\n
622
\n00:38:50,200 –> 00:38:53,240
\nThey were among those who
\nregistered, but they had not <\/p>\n
623
\n00:38:53,240 –> 00:38:56,000
\ngone out to the tent, so they
\nprophesied in the camp. <\/p>\n
624
\n00:38:56,280 –> 00:39:00,400
\nSo the Spirit of God comes on 70
\nthe 70 go out and prophecy. <\/p>\n
625
\n00:39:00,640 –> 00:39:04,400
\nTwo of them are left in the camp
\nprophesying Eldad and me dad. <\/p>\n
626
\n00:39:06,520 –> 00:39:10,320
\nAnd a young man ran and told
\nMoses. <\/p>\n
627
\n00:39:10,760 –> 00:39:17,320
\nMoses, Eldad and me, dad, are
\nprophesying in the camp, and <\/p>\n
628
\n00:39:17,320 –> 00:39:22,920
\nJoshua, yes, the son of Nun, the
\nassistant of Moses from his <\/p>\n
629
\n00:39:22,920 –> 00:39:28,280
\nyouth, said, My Lord Moses, stop
\nthem. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:39:31,440 –> 00:39:35,640
\nBut Moses said to him, Are you
\njealous for me? <\/p>\n
631
\n00:39:37,520 –> 00:39:39,680
\nHe says.
\nAnd what was Moses’s answer? <\/p>\n
632
\n00:39:40,480 –> 00:39:47,320
\nWould that all Yahweh’s people
\nwere prophets, that Yahweh would<\/p>\n
633
\n00:39:47,320 –> 00:39:51,160
\nput his spirit on all them?
\nAnd Moses and the elders <\/p>\n
634
\n00:39:51,160 –> 00:39:53,400
\nreturned to the camp.
\nWhat was Moses’s answer? <\/p>\n
635
\n00:39:53,800 –> 00:39:56,920
\nA man runs in and he says
\nthere’s two people prophesying. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:39:57,640 –> 00:40:00,080
\nJoshua says what stop them,
\nMoses? <\/p>\n
637
\n00:40:00,240 –> 00:40:02,760
\nMoses says.
\nWhat this says. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:40:03,200 –> 00:40:04,480
\nAre you jealous?
\nFor me? <\/p>\n
639
\n00:40:04,840 –> 00:40:08,160
\nI wish everybody could prophecy.
\nImagine how much better this <\/p>\n
640
\n00:40:08,160 –> 00:40:10,360
\nplace would be if everyone had
\nthe Spirit of God on them. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:40:13,520 –> 00:40:17,960
\nNever, ever, brothers and
\nsisters, consider the work that <\/p>\n
642
\n00:40:17,960 –> 00:40:21,000
\nyou’re doing as somehow better
\nthan another project in your <\/p>\n
643
\n00:40:21,000 –> 00:40:25,080
\necclesia.
\nAs long as everyone is walking <\/p>\n
644
\n00:40:25,080 –> 00:40:30,720
\ntowards Jerusalem, any project
\nis great in the ecclesia, <\/p>\n
645
\n00:40:32,320 –> 00:40:34,720
\nwhether it’s helping those who
\nneed help, whether it’s <\/p>\n
646
\n00:40:34,720 –> 00:40:37,800
\narranging for a Bible school,
\nwhether it’s helping children, <\/p>\n
647
\n00:40:37,920 –> 00:40:40,680
\nwhether it’s running a CYC,
\nwhether it’s running preaching <\/p>\n
648
\n00:40:40,680 –> 00:40:45,120
\nefforts, they’re all perfect
\nbecause they’re getting people <\/p>\n
649
\n00:40:45,120 –> 00:40:50,880
\nto Jerusalem.
\nLearn to work together in <\/p>\n
650
\n00:40:50,880 –> 00:40:54,560
\nhumility.
\nWe’re going to blast through a <\/p>\n
651
\n00:40:54,560 –> 00:40:55,800
\ncouple of these.
\nLet’s go to the next one. <\/p>\n
652
\n00:40:56,480 –> 00:41:01,120
\nWe’re in the journey now.
\nLuke 1021, Luke 10, verse 21. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:41:02,000 –> 00:41:06,440
\nIn the same hour rejoiced.
\nHe rejoiced in the Holy Spirit <\/p>\n
654
\n00:41:06,440 –> 00:41:08,840
\nand said, I thank you, Father,
\nLord of heaven and earth, that <\/p>\n
655
\n00:41:08,840 –> 00:41:12,000
\nyou have hidden these things
\nfrom the wise understanding and <\/p>\n
656
\n00:41:12,000 –> 00:41:14,440
\nrevealed them to little
\nchildren. <\/p>\n
657
\n00:41:14,960 –> 00:41:18,480
\nYes, Father, for such was your
\ngracious will. <\/p>\n
658
\n00:41:18,480 –> 00:41:20,680
\nAll things have been handed over
\nto me by my Father, and no one <\/p>\n
659
\n00:41:20,680 –> 00:41:23,200
\nknows who the Son is except the
\nFather, or who the Father is <\/p>\n
660
\n00:41:23,200 –> 00:41:27,400
\nexcept the Son and anyone to
\nwhom the son chooses to reveal <\/p>\n
661
\n00:41:27,400 –> 00:41:30,480
\nhim.
\nSo this is all about becoming <\/p>\n
662
\n00:41:30,760 –> 00:41:35,720
\nteachable kids.
\nYoung children are extremely <\/p>\n
663
\n00:41:35,760 –> 00:41:38,600
\nreceptive to what their father
\nteaches. <\/p>\n
664
\n00:41:39,520 –> 00:41:42,360
\nVery quickly, I’m putting father
\nfor these examples. <\/p>\n
665
\n00:41:43,640 –> 00:41:46,800
\nWe all are aware that mothers
\nare equally important. <\/p>\n
666
\n00:41:48,400 –> 00:41:50,280
\nI capitalize the word father for
\nus. <\/p>\n
667
\n00:41:50,880 –> 00:41:54,560
\nWe’re all under our Father’s
\nguidance. <\/p>\n
668
\n00:41:55,360 –> 00:41:58,080
\nSo when you see Father that
\nthat’s the reason kids are <\/p>\n
669
\n00:41:58,080 –> 00:42:01,360
\nreceptive and open to what their
\nliteral father teaches. <\/p>\n
670
\n00:42:01,480 –> 00:42:03,800
\nJust like we need to be to our
\nHeavenly Father. <\/p>\n
671
\n00:42:04,520 –> 00:42:08,280
\nBut you tell a three-year old he
\nis going to trust you <\/p>\n
672
\n00:42:08,280 –> 00:42:11,720
\nimplicitly.
\nYou’re his dad. <\/p>\n
673
\n00:42:12,760 –> 00:42:16,120
\nHe knows that when you tell him
\nthat’s gold. <\/p>\n
674
\n00:42:16,400 –> 00:42:19,640
\nHe may not listen, but he knows
\nyou’re his dad. <\/p>\n
675
\n00:42:21,520 –> 00:42:22,560
\nThey’re open and they’re
\nreceptive. <\/p>\n
676
\n00:42:22,560 –> 00:42:25,400
\nIs that how we approach our
\nheavenly Father? <\/p>\n
677
\n00:42:25,680 –> 00:42:30,160
\nSo that’s the kid principle.
\nHow do adults apply it on the <\/p>\n
678
\n00:42:30,160 –> 00:42:37,600
\nroad to Jerusalem?
\nCome to verse 40, Luke 10, verse<\/p>\n
679
\n00:42:37,600 –> 00:42:49,600
\n40, sorry, pardon me, verse 25.
\nAnd behold, a lawyer stood up to<\/p>\n
680
\n00:42:49,600 –> 00:42:58,960
\nput him to the test, saying,
\nteacher, what shall I do to <\/p>\n
681
\n00:42:59,000 –> 00:43:02,720
\ninherit eternal life?
\nHe said to him, what is written <\/p>\n
682
\n00:43:02,720 –> 00:43:04,240
\nin the law?
\nHow readest thou? <\/p>\n
683
\n00:43:04,520 –> 00:43:06,400
\nBy the way, great point to an
\nexpert in the law. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:43:06,400 –> 00:43:09,040
\nMight have been quite some time
\nsince she actually read it. <\/p>\n
685
\n00:43:09,040 –> 00:43:11,320
\nIt was pretty memorized.
\nAnd up in here. <\/p>\n
686
\n00:43:12,040 –> 00:43:13,560
\nWhat readest thou?
\nAnd he answered, You shall love <\/p>\n
687
\n00:43:13,560 –> 00:43:15,120
\nthe Lord your God with all your
\nheart, with all your soul, with <\/p>\n
688
\n00:43:15,120 –> 00:43:16,080
\nall your strength, with all your
\nmind. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:43:16,320 –> 00:43:18,080
\nYour neighbor is yourself.
\nAnd you said to him, you know <\/p>\n
690
\n00:43:18,080 –> 00:43:20,560
\nyou’ve answered correctly, do
\nthis and you will live. <\/p>\n
691
\n00:43:20,720 –> 00:43:22,880
\nAnd does he accept that answer?
\nIs he teachable? <\/p>\n
692
\n00:43:25,080 –> 00:43:32,120
\nBut he desiring to justify
\nhimself, Why does he ask the <\/p>\n
693
\n00:43:32,120 –> 00:43:34,680
\nquestion?
\nBecause he wants to learn, <\/p>\n
694
\n00:43:34,800 –> 00:43:39,360
\nBecause he’s a teachable man.
\nNo, he asks it to prove how <\/p>\n
695
\n00:43:39,360 –> 00:43:43,840
\ngreat he was.
\nThat’s the principle right after<\/p>\n
696
\n00:43:43,840 –> 00:43:50,160
\nwhat he teaches about the kids.
\nBut Christ’s answer to him is <\/p>\n
697
\n00:43:50,160 –> 00:43:53,920
\nperfect.
\nHe says, how readest thou? <\/p>\n
698
\n00:43:56,520 –> 00:43:59,720
\nThis is perfect, isn’t it?
\nFaith comes by hearing, hearing <\/p>\n
699
\n00:43:59,720 –> 00:44:03,920
\nby the word of God.
\nHow often in our lives in 2024 <\/p>\n
700
\n00:44:04,360 –> 00:44:08,080
\nhave we become used to the
\nanswers of things like, you <\/p>\n
701
\n00:44:08,080 –> 00:44:09,520
\nknow, God didn’t mean it that
\nway. <\/p>\n
702
\n00:44:10,720 –> 00:44:12,680
\nWell, Jesus was living in a
\ndifferent time. <\/p>\n
703
\n00:44:13,360 –> 00:44:17,920
\nPaul wrote to a different kind
\nof people, Brother and sisters, <\/p>\n
704
\n00:44:18,280 –> 00:44:22,720
\nhow readest thou the answers are
\nin here. <\/p>\n
705
\n00:44:24,080 –> 00:44:26,520
\nHow do you read?
\nHe asks him. <\/p>\n
706
\n00:44:26,920 –> 00:44:34,720
\nBut he, desiring to justify
\nhimself, said, OK, and who is my<\/p>\n
707
\n00:44:34,720 –> 00:44:37,920
\nneighbor?
\nAnd Jesus goes into the parable <\/p>\n
708
\n00:44:37,920 –> 00:44:42,920
\nof the Good Samaritan.
\nYou see, we can be so pridefully<\/p>\n
709
\n00:44:42,920 –> 00:44:48,840
\nlocked into our views and our
\npractices that we become almost <\/p>\n
710
\n00:44:51,880 –> 00:44:56,200
\nimmune to other people’s ideas.
\nYou know, I didn’t actually ask <\/p>\n
711
\n00:44:56,200 –> 00:44:59,440
\nyou to get an answer.
\nI asked you because I wanted you<\/p>\n
712
\n00:44:59,440 –> 00:45:02,880
\nto hear me ask you this.
\nDo we ever find ourselves doing <\/p>\n
713
\n00:45:02,880 –> 00:45:06,360
\nthat?
\nNo, it’s, it’s not good. <\/p>\n
714
\n00:45:07,680 –> 00:45:10,880
\nWe got to skip over this one.
\nMy apologies learning to ask <\/p>\n
715
\n00:45:11,760 –> 00:45:14,360
\nright after that they Christ
\nsays an evil generation. <\/p>\n
716
\n00:45:14,480 –> 00:45:17,280
\nThey ask for a sign.
\nNo sign should be given of the <\/p>\n
717
\n00:45:17,280 –> 00:45:19,080
\nprophet Jonah.
\nWe can ignore signs all the <\/p>\n
718
\n00:45:19,080 –> 00:45:22,800
\ntime, but graciously accepting
\nthis is the end of the journey. <\/p>\n
719
\n00:45:22,800 –> 00:45:24,280
\nLuke 18 come with me to this
\none. <\/p>\n
720
\n00:45:24,680 –> 00:45:33,520
\nLuke 18 verse 17 Truly I say
\nunto you, he says, now let’s go <\/p>\n
721
\n00:45:33,520 –> 00:45:37,720
\nto, let’s go to 16 But Jesus
\ncalled them to him, saying, let <\/p>\n
722
\n00:45:37,720 –> 00:45:39,880
\nthe children come to me, don’t
\nhinder them. <\/p>\n
723
\n00:45:40,000 –> 00:45:44,800
\nFor to such belong the Kingdom
\nof God, the humble, the least <\/p>\n
724
\n00:45:44,960 –> 00:45:47,040
\nthose is who the Kingdom belongs
\nto. <\/p>\n
725
\n00:45:47,280 –> 00:45:50,360
\nTruly I say to you, whoever does
\nnot receive the Kingdom of God <\/p>\n
726
\n00:45:50,560 –> 00:45:56,400
\nlike a child shall not enter it.
\nYou receive it like a child. <\/p>\n
727
\n00:45:56,680 –> 00:46:01,280
\nChildren, little children,
\nunderstand that they cannot <\/p>\n
728
\n00:46:01,280 –> 00:46:05,440
\nearn, they cannot repay their
\nparents for the gifts they <\/p>\n
729
\n00:46:05,440 –> 00:46:07,960
\nprovide.
\nHow many times do you see a <\/p>\n
730
\n00:46:07,960 –> 00:46:11,760
\nthree-year old at a birthday
\nparty say, oh thanks dad, how <\/p>\n
731
\n00:46:11,760 –> 00:46:16,040
\nmuch was it?
\nHow many times do you see a <\/p>\n
732
\n00:46:16,040 –> 00:46:19,280
\nchild at dinner say that Mac and
\ncheese dad was great? <\/p>\n
733
\n00:46:19,560 –> 00:46:22,760
\nWhat do I owe you?
\nIronically, you never see 18 <\/p>\n
734
\n00:46:22,760 –> 00:46:26,040
\nyear olds do that either, but
\nthat’s beside the point. <\/p>\n
735
\n00:46:27,040 –> 00:46:33,640
\nKids fully grasp, they fully
\nunderstand that what their dad <\/p>\n
736
\n00:46:33,640 –> 00:46:37,600
\nand mom give them is that of the
\npure greatness of his heart. <\/p>\n
737
\n00:46:37,600 –> 00:46:40,760
\nAnd they they don’t even, they
\ndon’t even it doesn’t even comes<\/p>\n
738
\n00:46:40,760 –> 00:46:45,800
\ninto their mind that they need
\nto give back because they don’t.<\/p>\n
739
\n00:46:47,600 –> 00:46:52,760
\nThey accept knowing full well
\nthat that’s just how it works. <\/p>\n
740
\n00:46:54,480 –> 00:47:01,840
\nKids get things from the Father.
\nIs that how we approach the <\/p>\n
741
\n00:47:01,840 –> 00:47:07,560
\nKingdom of God?
\nOr do we say things like the <\/p>\n
742
\n00:47:07,560 –> 00:47:15,160
\nadult mistake?
\nLuke 1818 instantly after a rich<\/p>\n
743
\n00:47:15,160 –> 00:47:20,640
\nyoung ruler asked him, good
\nteacher, what must I do to <\/p>\n
744
\n00:47:20,680 –> 00:47:25,760
\ninherit eternal life?
\nThat’s the principle. <\/p>\n
745
\n00:47:28,640 –> 00:47:35,560
\nAnd so the grown up mistake that
\nwe can all make is thinking that<\/p>\n
746
\n00:47:35,560 –> 00:47:38,040
\nwe have some sort of control
\nover our place in the Kingdom of<\/p>\n
747
\n00:47:38,040 –> 00:47:42,360
\nGod.
\nLearn humility, learn to work <\/p>\n
748
\n00:47:42,360 –> 00:47:45,640
\ntogether.
\nThat’s how you find your way to <\/p>\n
749
\n00:47:45,640 –> 00:47:51,440
\nJerusalem.
\nAnd so let’s conclude then by <\/p>\n
750
\n00:47:51,440 –> 00:47:55,680
\nlooking at skipping a few
\nslides. <\/p>\n
751
\n00:47:56,640 –> 00:47:59,000
\nLuke 22.
\nLet’s come then into Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
752
\n00:47:59,440 –> 00:48:04,520
\nHe’s sitting at a meal with his
\ndisciples, Luke 22, seven to 13.<\/p>\n
753
\n00:48:04,520 –> 00:48:08,840
\nHe sends Peter and John to
\nprepare the Passover meal, 14 to<\/p>\n
754
\n00:48:08,840 –> 00:48:11,640
\n20, the Lord’s Supper.
\nFamiliar words we hear every <\/p>\n
755
\n00:48:11,640 –> 00:48:16,520
\nsingle week.
\nVerse 21 Luke 2221 But to behold<\/p>\n
756
\n00:48:16,520 –> 00:48:19,520
\nthe the hand of him who betrays
\nme is with me on the table. <\/p>\n
757
\n00:48:19,720 –> 00:48:22,520
\nFor the Son of Man goes as has
\nbeen determined, but woe to that<\/p>\n
758
\n00:48:22,520 –> 00:48:25,080
\nman by whom he is betrayed.
\nAnd they began to question one <\/p>\n
759
\n00:48:25,080 –> 00:48:27,640
\nanother which of them was going
\nto do this? <\/p>\n
760
\n00:48:27,800 –> 00:48:29,880
\nAnd so he says, one of you will
\nbetray me. <\/p>\n
761
\n00:48:29,880 –> 00:48:31,800
\nAnd they say, is it you?
\nIs it you? <\/p>\n
762
\n00:48:31,800 –> 00:48:33,640
\nAnd then what do they do
\ninstantly after that? <\/p>\n
763
\n00:48:34,960 –> 00:48:46,400
\nWhat does it say in your Bibles?
\nThey argued about who was what <\/p>\n
764
\n00:48:48,560 –> 00:48:52,400
\nthe greatest.
\nIs this a new argument? <\/p>\n
765
\n00:48:53,680 –> 00:48:55,360
\nNope.
\nThis happened the very <\/p>\n
766
\n00:48:55,360 –> 00:48:58,560
\nbeginning, and it’s happening
\nright when. <\/p>\n
767
\n00:48:58,560 –> 00:49:01,360
\nChrist is going to be killed.
\nIs it you? <\/p>\n
768
\n00:49:01,760 –> 00:49:03,680
\nIs it you?
\nAre you going to kill him? <\/p>\n
769
\n00:49:03,840 –> 00:49:06,080
\nNo, I’m fantastic.
\nI’m a great disciple. <\/p>\n
770
\n00:49:06,160 –> 00:49:09,280
\nWell, I’m better than you are.
\nAnd it breaks out again. <\/p>\n
771
\n00:49:09,280 –> 00:49:17,000
\nAnd what’s Christ’s answer verse
\n26 Rather, let the greatest <\/p>\n
772
\n00:49:17,240 –> 00:49:23,200
\namong you become as the least
\nno, but the. <\/p>\n
773
\n00:49:23,200 –> 00:49:30,480
\nGreatest become.
\nAs the youngest, which is why in<\/p>\n
774
\n00:49:30,480 –> 00:49:39,840
\nJohn he can say in John 13
\nlittle children get a little. <\/p>\n
775
\n00:49:39,840 –> 00:49:42,800
\nWhile I’m with you.
\nAnd while he’s. <\/p>\n
776
\n00:49:42,800 –> 00:49:44,000
\nIn the upper room, what is
\nChrist? <\/p>\n
777
\n00:49:44,000 –> 00:49:47,520
\nDoing while they’re.
\nArguing about who’s the. <\/p>\n
778
\n00:49:47,520 –> 00:49:50,200
\nBest disciple?
\nWhat is Jesus doing? <\/p>\n
779
\n00:49:52,480 –> 00:49:56,840
\nHe’s down on his knees.
\nHe’s washing their feet. <\/p>\n
780
\n00:50:01,400 –> 00:50:03,320
\nThat’s the man they followed to
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
781
\n00:50:04,520 –> 00:50:08,160
\nBrothers, sisters, we follow the
\nsame man. <\/p>\n
782
\n00:50:10,640 –> 00:50:13,720
\nSure, we can get into.
\nSpats in our cliches. <\/p>\n
783
\n00:50:14,360 –> 00:50:18,160
\nSure, we can go through tough
\ntimes with brothers and sisters.<\/p>\n
784
\n00:50:20,000 –> 00:50:21,640
\nBut man, the big picture makes
\nit. <\/p>\n
785
\n00:50:21,640 –> 00:50:25,040
\nSeem so petty, doesn’t it?
\nWe’re all going to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
786
\n00:50:25,160 –> 00:50:28,120
\nWe’re all trying to get there,
\nbrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
787
\n00:50:28,120 –> 00:50:32,320
\nThe point is simply learn to
\nwork together. <\/p>\n
788
\n00:50:32,840 –> 00:50:37,480
\nBecome humble.
\nHe says a new. <\/p>\n
789
\n00:50:37,480 –> 00:50:42,800
\nCommandment I give to you.
\nYou love one another and. <\/p>\n
790
\n00:50:44,680 –> 00:50:45,680
\nSo.
\nBrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
791
\n00:50:47,200 –> 00:50:48,520
\nSorry, we had to.
\nSkip a few things. <\/p>\n
792
\n00:50:48,840 –> 00:50:50,560
\nHopefully slides we made
\navailable at the end of this <\/p>\n
793
\n00:50:50,560 –> 00:50:54,240
\nweek, but the theme of working
\ntogether, the theme is of course<\/p>\n
794
\n00:50:54,400 –> 00:51:00,400
\nlearning to work together.
\nSo hopefully what we can do is. <\/p>\n
795
\n00:51:00,520 –> 00:51:04,120
\nWe can now.
\nMaybe question #1 give some <\/p>\n
796
\n00:51:04,120 –> 00:51:06,360
\nreasons why you think Jesus
\nchose the disciples. <\/p>\n
797
\n00:51:06,360 –> 00:51:08,160
\nDid I put it as a critical
\nthinking question because it’s a<\/p>\n
798
\n00:51:08,160 –> 00:51:10,680
\ntough one, But what’s your
\nreasoning? <\/p>\n
799
\n00:51:11,440 –> 00:51:13,320
\nWhen you get back to your
\necclesia and you’re sitting down<\/p>\n
800
\n00:51:13,320 –> 00:51:16,160
\nwith a meeting and, and, and
\nthings aren’t going perfectly, <\/p>\n
801
\n00:51:16,840 –> 00:51:21,120
\njust think back to how it must
\nhave been for these 12 and for <\/p>\n
802
\n00:51:21,240 –> 00:51:23,920
\nJesus.
\nHumility is the cure for the <\/p>\n
803
\n00:51:23,920 –> 00:51:26,680
\nfeelings of greatness, the
