Class 2 from this series was used in GCT Episode 324.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:03,680 –> 00:00:05,240
\nWell done.
\nThat was great. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:05,640 –> 00:00:09,440
\nAll right, I’m very excited to
\nofficially be starting the <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:09,760 –> 00:00:11,440
\njourney of Christ to Jerusalem
\ntoday. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:11,440 –> 00:00:15,240
\nHe in today’s class, he will
\nactually take his first step to <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:15,240 –> 00:00:17,120
\nget there and it is an exciting
\nmoment. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:17,120 –> 00:00:20,640
\nWe have a few things to go over
\nbefore he makes that step, but <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:20,640 –> 00:00:22,760
\nI’m excited to start this
\njourney with you today. <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:22,760 –> 00:00:26,600
\nYesterday we saw that following
\nJesus to Jerusalem was a journey<\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:26,600 –> 00:00:30,120
\nwe all can join him on.
\nAnd we are chasing after our <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:30,120 –> 00:00:35,600
\nLord Jesus Christ to become a
\ncity of people, a new Jerusalem.<\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:35,960 –> 00:00:39,360
\nAnd we aren’t following him to
\nthe Old City, but to a city that<\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:39,360 –> 00:00:41,640
\nhe’s actually literally
\nconstructing right now. <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:41,640 –> 00:00:45,040
\nHe’s building it at his Father’s
\nside, a heavenly Jerusalem, one <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:45,040 –> 00:00:47,840
\nmade out of people.
\nBut on the road to the natural <\/p>\n
16
\n00:00:47,840 –> 00:00:54,120
\ncity, he left all the principles
\nthat we’re going to need to find<\/p>\n
17
\n00:00:54,120 –> 00:00:58,360
\nplaces in the new holy city.
\nAnd that’s what I’m very excited<\/p>\n
18
\n00:00:58,360 –> 00:01:02,640
\nto join you guys with in the
\nstudy of following Christ to <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:02,640 –> 00:01:05,920
\nJerusalem.
\nNow, one thing everyone must <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:05,920 –> 00:01:08,920
\nlearn before they begin their
\njourney to Jerusalem is it’s not<\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:08,920 –> 00:01:14,080
\na fun road trip to Jerusalem.
\nThis is not a vacation trip to <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:14,080 –> 00:01:18,120
\nJerusalem for the disciples, the
\n12 who Christ chose and for us. <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:18,720 –> 00:01:22,000
\nIt’s not a big journey about
\nfiguring out who you are. <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:23,400 –> 00:01:28,000
\nThis is a journey where you have
\nto learn to give up everything <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:28,640 –> 00:01:31,960
\nand you have to discover the
\nworth of other people. <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:33,440 –> 00:01:36,000
\nAnd that’s what Christ did on
\nhis journey towards Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:36,000 –> 00:01:39,320
\nIt was never for himself.
\nIt was a journey meant for <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:39,320 –> 00:01:41,680
\nothers.
\nAnd he invited his 12 and he <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:41,680 –> 00:01:43,840
\ninvites us on that journey as
\nwell. <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:44,120 –> 00:01:47,120
\nSo I hope we all have our
\nhandouts from yesterday. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:47,760 –> 00:01:50,720
\nIf you don’t, I have bad news.
\nI don’t have them the extras <\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:50,720 –> 00:01:53,360
\nwith me.
\nUncle Bob saved me in the teen <\/p>\n
33
\n00:01:53,360 –> 00:01:54,760
\nclass and he went and grabbed a
\nfew. <\/p>\n
34
\n00:01:55,000 –> 00:01:57,760
\nBut if you don’t, I will bring
\nextras with me tomorrow. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:01:57,760 –> 00:02:00,240
\nI promise It’ll just mean you
\nhave a couple pieces of homework<\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:00,240 –> 00:02:03,560
\nto do, which will be fine.
\nAll right, so let’s begin our <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:03,920 –> 00:02:06,600
\nlook at our class this morning.
\nWhat I want to start off with <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:06,600 –> 00:02:12,080
\njust a is a quick little fun
\nstudy here and there seems to be<\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:12,080 –> 00:02:17,000
\n7 unique entries of our Lord
\nJesus Christ into Jerusalem <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:17,000 –> 00:02:20,440
\nrecorded for us in scripture.
\nNow we know that He would have <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:20,440 –> 00:02:22,680
\ngone there more times.
\nThere was many feasts in <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:22,680 –> 00:02:25,480
\nJerusalem that he would have had
\nto go there every year. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:25,720 –> 00:02:28,840
\nBut there seems to be 7 recorded
\nentries in Jerusalem, three of <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:28,840 –> 00:02:31,280
\nwhich we’ll find in Luke.
\nThe presentation of the temple <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:31,280 –> 00:02:34,200
\nin Luke 2, the 12 year old Jesus
\nwho visits the temple in Luke <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:34,200 –> 00:02:36,080
\n12.
\nHis temptation. <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:36,080 –> 00:02:38,400
\nWe’re on the temple in Luke trip
\n4. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:38,640 –> 00:02:41,120
\nWe jump to John for the
\ncleansing of the temple in John <\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:41,120 –> 00:02:43,400
\n2.
\nThe Feast of the Jews in John 5 <\/p>\n
50
\n00:02:43,400 –> 00:02:44,920
\nand the expectation we had
\nyesterday. <\/p>\n
51
\n00:02:44,920 –> 00:02:49,800
\nThe Feast of Tabernacles in John
\n7 and then the 7th entry in all <\/p>\n
52
\n00:02:49,800 –> 00:02:51,720
\nfour gospels.
\nThis what’s labeled as the <\/p>\n
53
\n00:02:51,720 –> 00:02:54,760
\ntriumphant entry.
\nSo it’s quite beautiful seeing <\/p>\n
54
\n00:02:54,760 –> 00:02:58,360
\nthat there are seems to be 7
\nunique entries of Christ into <\/p>\n
55
\n00:02:58,360 –> 00:03:01,680
\nJerusalem, 7 being that covenant
\nnumber and he would enter on the<\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:01,680 –> 00:03:05,200
\n7th time to build a new
\ncovenant. <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:06,280 –> 00:03:09,160
\nYou would enter an eighth and
\nwe’ll see his eighth entry later<\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:09,160 –> 00:03:13,640
\non in this week to as a new
\nresurrected Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:14,320 –> 00:03:18,640
\nOK, so there seems to be two
\nunique ones to Luke, Luke 2 and <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:18,640 –> 00:03:22,760
\nLuke, the presentation at the
\ntemple and the 12 year old who <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:22,760 –> 00:03:25,000
\nvisits the temple.
\nThose are unique to Luke’s <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:25,000 –> 00:03:27,800
\ngospels we saw yesterday.
\nAnd then finally, the other one <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:27,800 –> 00:03:30,680
\nlocated for us in Luke is his
\ntriumphant entry. <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:31,360 –> 00:03:34,120
\nSo what we’re going to do is we
\nare going to just quickly look <\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:34,120 –> 00:03:37,040
\nat the context of his entry into
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:37,040 –> 00:03:40,000
\nBut before we do that, the
\nclassic question you guys are <\/p>\n
67
\n00:03:40,000 –> 00:03:41,840
\ngoing to be sick of by the end
\nof the week. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:03:42,000 –> 00:03:47,040
\nWhere does the journey begin?
\nExcellent. <\/p>\n
69
\n00:03:47,040 –> 00:03:49,640
\nThat’ll be a very loud chorus,
\nhopefully in a few days here. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:03:49,840 –> 00:03:52,520
\nLuke 951 is where the journey
\nbegins. <\/p>\n
71
\n00:03:52,520 –> 00:03:55,440
\nDoes anybody have markdown where
\nthe journey ends? <\/p>\n
72
\n00:03:57,600 –> 00:04:00,840
\nLuke 1945 Very good.
\nSo what we’re doing is we’re <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:00,840 –> 00:04:02,240
\ngoing to use those as our
\nbookends. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:02,240 –> 00:04:05,440
\nAnd what we’re going to see is
\nwhere we fall in setting a <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:05,440 –> 00:04:07,000
\nchapter.
\nWe’ll know now. <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:07,000 –> 00:04:08,480
\nAre we at the beginning of the
\njourney? <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:08,480 –> 00:04:09,480
\nAre we at the middle of the
\njourney? <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:09,480 –> 00:04:10,960
\nAre we near the end?
\nAre we after? <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:11,360 –> 00:04:12,720
\nOK, So hopefully that’ll help us
\nout. <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:12,960 –> 00:04:16,279
\nAnd then the journey’s purpose
\nprobably is left blank. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:16,279 –> 00:04:17,480
\nWe’re going to go over that
\ntoday. <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:17,480 –> 00:04:20,120
\nIt’s going to be a an awesome
\nverse to go over. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:20,519 –> 00:04:24,360
\nOK, So what we’re going to do is
\ntake a look then at Luke chapter<\/p>\n
84
\n00:04:24,360 –> 00:04:26,920
\n18.
\nAnd since we have kind of this <\/p>\n
85
\n00:04:26,920 –> 00:04:29,760
\nfor these verses in our minds,
\nwe know that we’re getting close<\/p>\n
86
\n00:04:29,760 –> 00:04:30,840
\nto the end of the journey,
\naren’t we? <\/p>\n
87
\n00:04:31,240 –> 00:04:36,480
\nWe know he enters the city into
\nthe temple in Luke chapter 19. <\/p>\n
88
\n00:04:37,360 –> 00:04:40,480
\nWe know Luke 18 is getting close
\nto the end somewhat. <\/p>\n
89
\n00:04:42,280 –> 00:04:47,320
\nSo Luke 18 and verse 31, we
\nactually have the purpose of the<\/p>\n
90
\n00:04:47,320 –> 00:04:49,360
\njourney.
\nSo if you want to fill in that <\/p>\n
91
\n00:04:49,360 –> 00:04:53,680
\nlast line there from session
\none, the journey’s purpose, <\/p>\n
92
\n00:04:54,200 –> 00:05:02,960
\ntaking the 12, Jesus says to
\nthem, Luke 1831 See, we’re going<\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:02,960 –> 00:05:09,720
\nup to Jerusalem, he says, and
\neverything that’s written about <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:09,720 –> 00:05:14,840
\nthe Son of Man by the prophets
\nwill be accomplished. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:14,960 –> 00:05:17,640
\nThat’s His purpose.
\nEverything that’s been written <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:17,640 –> 00:05:20,120
\nby the prophets, everything
\nthat’s been written in the law, <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:20,280 –> 00:05:23,040
\neverything that’s been written
\nin the Psalms about the Son of <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:23,040 –> 00:05:26,920
\nMan is about to be accomplished.
\nSo we’re going to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:26,920 –> 00:05:32,560
\nHe says that’s his purpose.
\nLuke 1831 Four. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:05:32,680 –> 00:05:36,240
\nHere’s what happens to Christ in
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
101
\n00:05:38,440 –> 00:05:43,200
\nHe is going to be delivered to
\nthe Gentiles, mocked, treated <\/p>\n
102
\n00:05:43,200 –> 00:05:47,600
\nshamefully, spit upon, flogged,
\nkilled, and on the third day <\/p>\n
103
\n00:05:48,040 –> 00:05:53,680
\nhe’ll rise again.
\nSo interestingly, it seems like <\/p>\n
104
\n00:05:53,680 –> 00:05:56,440
\non his 7th entry, 7 things are
\ngoing to happen. <\/p>\n
105
\n00:05:57,320 –> 00:05:59,680
\nDelivered to the Gentiles,
\nmocked, treated shamefully, spit<\/p>\n
106
\n00:05:59,680 –> 00:06:03,480
\nupon, flogged, killed and rise
\nagain on the third day. <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:05,360 –> 00:06:09,640
\nSo with this list of things that
\nare happening to Christ, he <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:09,640 –> 00:06:13,440
\ntells his disciples only a
\nchapter away from entering the <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:13,440 –> 00:06:16,240
\ncity.
\nWhat’s the response of the <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:16,240 –> 00:06:21,760
\ndisciples?
\nLook at the next verse, verse <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:21,760 –> 00:06:24,480
\n34.
\nThey understood none of these <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:24,480 –> 00:06:28,240
\nthings.
\nThe saying was hidden from them.<\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:29,880 –> 00:06:33,280
\nThey didn’t grasp what he said.
\nThree different ways, we’re <\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:33,280 –> 00:06:36,080
\ntold.
\nThe disciples had no idea what <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:36,080 –> 00:06:39,200
\nwas happening.
\nThey were clueless. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:39,360 –> 00:06:42,880
\nThis is the end of the journey.
\nHow could they still not know <\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:42,880 –> 00:06:46,240
\nwhat’s happening?
\nAren’t we? <\/p>\n
118
\n00:06:46,400 –> 00:06:50,760
\nAren’t we only moments away from
\nentering the city, but the <\/p>\n
119
\n00:06:50,760 –> 00:06:53,840
\ndisciples find themselves
\noblivious as to what’s <\/p>\n
120
\n00:06:53,840 –> 00:06:56,240
\nhappening?
\nWell, this isn’t the first time <\/p>\n
121
\n00:06:56,240 –> 00:06:58,760
\nthat this has happened.
\nCome with me back to Luke <\/p>\n
122
\n00:06:58,760 –> 00:07:02,800
\nChapter 9, Luke Chapter 9.
\nWe know from Luke Chapter 9 that<\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:02,800 –> 00:07:04,680
\nwe are at the beginning of the
\njourney, right? <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:04,880 –> 00:07:05,960
\nYou’re starting to get the hang
\nof this. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:05,960 –> 00:07:08,600
\nHopefully that we kind of know
\nwhere we’re at in the chapter in<\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:08,600 –> 00:07:10,800
\nLuke.
\nWe could put ourselves really at<\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:10,800 –> 00:07:18,040
\nthe the timeline of our journey.
\nSo Luke 9 verse 22 saying the <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:18,040 –> 00:07:21,040
\nSon of Man must suffer many
\nthings and be rejected of the <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:21,040 –> 00:07:23,840
\nelders, the chief priests and
\nscribes, and be killed, and on <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:23,840 –> 00:07:30,640
\nthe third day be raised.
\nSo we have bookends Now right <\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:30,640 –> 00:07:32,840
\nbefore the journey starts and
\nright before the journey ends, <\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:33,040 –> 00:07:35,960
\nChrist explains to his
\ndisciples, these are the <\/p>\n
133
\n00:07:35,960 –> 00:07:37,960
\nterrible things that await me in
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:07:40,000 –> 00:07:43,360
\nBut now look at verse in Luke
\n2944. <\/p>\n
135
\n00:07:45,080 –> 00:07:47,840
\nWe’re verses away from beginning
\nthe journey, aren’t we? <\/p>\n
136
\n00:07:48,120 –> 00:07:51,680
\nWe are right there.
\nVerse 44, Let these words sink <\/p>\n
137
\n00:07:51,680 –> 00:07:53,240
\ninto yours.
\nThe Son of Man is about to be <\/p>\n
138
\n00:07:53,240 –> 00:07:55,680
\ndelivered into the hands of men.
\nHe restates what he’s just <\/p>\n
139
\n00:07:55,680 –> 00:08:00,680
\nstated in verse 22.
\nBut the disciples, verse 45, <\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:00,680 –> 00:08:03,880
\nwhat does it say?
\nThe disciples thought the <\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:03,880 –> 00:08:06,240
\ndisciples did not understand the
\nsaying. <\/p>\n
142
\n00:08:06,400 –> 00:08:09,640
\nIt was concealed from them so
\nthat they might not perceive it,<\/p>\n
143
\n00:08:09,800 –> 00:08:14,360
\nand they were afraid to ask Him
\nabout the saying. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:08:16,400 –> 00:08:19,920
\nSo what else do we have as
\nbookends in this journey? <\/p>\n
145
\n00:08:21,400 –> 00:08:23,320
\nWell, Christ reveals to the
\ndisciples everything that <\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:23,320 –> 00:08:24,720
\nterrible that awaits him in
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:25,200 –> 00:08:32,880
\nAnd the disciples confused, not
\nunderstanding what he’s talking <\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:32,880 –> 00:08:34,600
\nabout.
\nYou see, they saw Christ’s <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:34,600 –> 00:08:36,080
\nmission as something totally
\ndifferent, didn’t they? <\/p>\n
150
\n00:08:36,280 –> 00:08:37,600
\nThey saw Christ’s mission as
\nwell. <\/p>\n
151
\n00:08:37,600 –> 00:08:39,600
\nFinally, we’re going to be free
\nof the Roman occupiers. <\/p>\n
152
\n00:08:39,600 –> 00:08:42,600
\nHe’s going to go in.
\nA triumphant entry indeed. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:08:43,720 –> 00:08:46,160
\nAnd deliver us from the hands of
\nthese terrible Romans. <\/p>\n
154
\n00:08:47,440 –> 00:08:52,280
\nAnd when he says things like I’m
\ngoing to die, I’m going to be <\/p>\n
155
\n00:08:52,280 –> 00:08:57,480
\nmocked, people are going to spit
\non me and be resurrected. <\/p>\n
156
\n00:08:57,640 –> 00:09:00,640
\nThis didn’t fit into their idea.
\nThis doesn’t fit into the plan. <\/p>\n
157
\n00:09:02,560 –> 00:09:06,880
\nAnd I’m confused.
\nSo come back with me to Luke <\/p>\n
158
\n00:09:06,880 –> 00:09:10,480
\n922.
\nThis is His introduction then to<\/p>\n
159
\n00:09:10,480 –> 00:09:14,680
\nwhat awaits them.
\nOn this rode to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
160
\n00:09:15,720 –> 00:09:18,120
\nThe Son of Man must suffer many
\nthings to be rejected by the <\/p>\n
161
\n00:09:18,120 –> 00:09:20,120
\nelders, the chief priests and
\nthe scribes, to be killed, and <\/p>\n
162
\n00:09:20,120 –> 00:09:24,520
\non the third day be raised.
\nVerse 23, immediately after. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:09:25,360 –> 00:09:33,640
\nAnd He said to all, He says to
\neveryone, if anyone would come <\/p>\n
164
\n00:09:33,640 –> 00:09:40,040
\nafter me, let Him deny Himself,
\ntake up His cross daily and <\/p>\n
165
\n00:09:40,040 –> 00:09:45,240
\nfollow me.
\nSo he says in Jerusalem, here’s <\/p>\n
166
\n00:09:45,240 –> 00:09:49,520
\nwhat awaits me.
\nShame, mocking. <\/p>\n
167
\n00:09:50,120 –> 00:09:54,200
\nI’ll be spit on, I’ll be beaten,
\nI’ll be killed, but I’ll be <\/p>\n
168
\n00:09:54,200 –> 00:09:56,920
\nresurrected.
\nIf you want to join me on this <\/p>\n
169
\n00:09:56,920 –> 00:10:01,760
\nroad trip to Jerusalem, deny
\nyourself. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:10:01,960 –> 00:10:04,160
\nTake your cross every single day
\nand follow me. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:10:04,560 –> 00:10:07,800
\nIt’s an invitation, isn’t it?
\nAnd no one in the right mind <\/p>\n
172
\n00:10:07,800 –> 00:10:09,600
\nwould say this sounds like a
\nfantastic trip. <\/p>\n
173
\n00:10:09,600 –> 00:10:13,200
\nLet’s go.
\nBut he opens the invitation to <\/p>\n
174
\n00:10:13,480 –> 00:10:17,840
\neveryone.
\nThat sounds like a great trip to<\/p>\n
175
\n00:10:17,840 –> 00:10:19,480
\nJerusalem.
\nLet’s go. <\/p>\n
176
\n00:10:20,400 –> 00:10:23,800
\nNo, nobody would say this.
\nSo why does he do this? <\/p>\n
177
\n00:10:23,880 –> 00:10:25,720
\nWhy does he open up the call
\nlike this? <\/p>\n
178
\n00:10:27,800 –> 00:10:31,240
\nWell, let us look at the context
\nof what happens in Luke Chapter <\/p>\n
179
\n00:10:31,240 –> 00:10:31,960
\n9.
\nRight? <\/p>\n
180
\n00:10:32,120 –> 00:10:35,000
\nJust to get ourselves a little
\nbit grounded as to where we’re <\/p>\n
181
\n00:10:35,000 –> 00:10:36,960
\nat.
\nWe know what verse 51’s all <\/p>\n
182
\n00:10:36,960 –> 00:10:40,400
\nabout, don’t we?
\nLuke 951, he leaves for <\/p>\n
183
\n00:10:40,400 –> 00:10:42,760
\nJerusalem.
\nThat’s our target verse. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:10:42,760 –> 00:10:44,120
\nThat’s our key.
\nThat’s our beginning. <\/p>\n
185
\n00:10:44,600 –> 00:10:47,360
\nWell, what happens before this?
\nWell, he sends out the 12 to <\/p>\n
186
\n00:10:47,360 –> 00:10:49,720
\nproclaim the Kingdom of God at
\nthe beginning of the chapter. <\/p>\n
187
\n00:10:50,080 –> 00:10:53,560
\nHe then feeds the 5000.
\nLuke 9’s packed by the way, Luke<\/p>\n
188
\n00:10:53,560 –> 00:10:58,080
\n9’s packed full of big stories.
\nHe sends out the 12. <\/p>\n
189
\n00:10:58,080 –> 00:11:00,520
\nHe then feeds the 5000.
\nHe then as we already read in <\/p>\n
190
\n00:11:00,520 –> 00:11:02,840
\nverses 21 and 22 tells about his
\ndeath. <\/p>\n
191
\n00:11:03,480 –> 00:11:05,280
\nHe says this is what awaits us
\nin Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
192
\n00:11:05,760 –> 00:11:10,440
\nHe then invites us to take up
\nour cross every single day, deny<\/p>\n
193
\n00:11:10,440 –> 00:11:15,200
\nourselves and follow him. 28 to
\n36, the transfiguration amazing <\/p>\n
194
\n00:11:15,200 –> 00:11:17,400
\nevent.
\nYou can spend the whole Bible <\/p>\n
195
\n00:11:17,400 –> 00:11:19,240
\nschool talking about those set
\nof verses. <\/p>\n
196
\n00:11:19,960 –> 00:11:23,200
\nThe transfiguration happens, the
\nboys healed by Jesus. <\/p>\n
197
\n00:11:24,800 –> 00:11:26,760
\nJesus tells of his death a
\nsecond time. <\/p>\n
198
\n00:11:27,800 –> 00:11:29,200
\nThis is the second time this has
\nhappened. <\/p>\n
199
\n00:11:29,200 –> 00:11:31,560
\nAnd this is when the disciples
\nare confused. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:11:32,200 –> 00:11:34,880
\nThen the disciples instantly
\nargue who’s the best disciple <\/p>\n
201
\n00:11:35,600 –> 00:11:38,280
\nand they leave for Jerusalem.
\nThat’s our context. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:11:38,280 –> 00:11:41,400
\nThat’s our foundation for
\ndeparting for Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:11:41,840 –> 00:11:44,840
\nBy the way, who is the greatest?
\nThat’s the class on Wednesday. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:11:44,840 –> 00:11:48,520
\nWe’re going to look really dive
\ninto the, the dynamics of the <\/p>\n
205
\n00:11:48,520 –> 00:11:51,840
\ndisciples.
\nOK, so this is where the where <\/p>\n
206
\n00:11:51,840 –> 00:11:54,800
\nwe’re at.
\nThis is what we find ourselves <\/p>\n
207
\n00:11:54,880 –> 00:11:58,160
\nin contextually for verse 51
\nwhen he leaves. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:11:58,400 –> 00:12:01,480
\nBefore we jump too much further
\ninto it, what I thought we would<\/p>\n
209
\n00:12:01,480 –> 00:12:03,200
\ndo is spend a few minutes
\nfilling out the back of our <\/p>\n
210
\n00:12:03,200 –> 00:12:05,960
\nhandout, this little map,
\ntotally optional if you guys <\/p>\n
211
\n00:12:05,960 –> 00:12:07,880
\nwould like.
\nWhat we’ll do is we’ll just kind<\/p>\n
212
\n00:12:07,880 –> 00:12:10,040
\nof layout a few things here and
\nyou guys can geographically <\/p>\n
213
\n00:12:10,040 –> 00:12:13,160
\nfollow along throughout the week
\nup to you. <\/p>\n
214
\n00:12:13,760 –> 00:12:16,200
\nSo up in the north, in the
\nnorthern section of our map <\/p>\n
215
\n00:12:16,200 –> 00:12:17,400
\nhere, we have the Sea of
\nGalilee. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:12:17,560 –> 00:12:20,720
\nThis was the region that came to
\nbe known as shockingly, Galilee.<\/p>\n
217
\n00:12:20,880 –> 00:12:23,280
\nAll right, so the region of
\nGalilee is where Christ found <\/p>\n
218
\n00:12:23,280 –> 00:12:25,800
\nHis home base at the beginning
\nof his ministry. <\/p>\n
219
\n00:12:26,720 –> 00:12:31,000
\nThe first couple years of His
\nministry, this is really where <\/p>\n
220
\n00:12:31,000 –> 00:12:32,920
\nhe centered around.
\nHe would of course, pop all <\/p>\n
221
\n00:12:32,920 –> 00:12:35,880
\nover, but he would end up back
\nup in Capernaum and Nazareth. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:12:36,720 –> 00:12:39,440
\nAll right, so this is our main
\nsection up here in the northern <\/p>\n
223
\n00:12:39,440 –> 00:12:43,920
\npart of Israel.
\nRight South of that is the <\/p>\n
224
\n00:12:43,920 –> 00:12:47,400
\nregion called Samaria.
\nNow Christ has a lot of <\/p>\n
225
\n00:12:49,320 –> 00:12:52,800
\nparables, a lot of dealings with
\nSamaritans. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:12:52,800 –> 00:12:56,400
\nSo we’re going to spend a couple
\nminutes talking really about the<\/p>\n
227
\n00:12:56,400 –> 00:13:00,920
\nSamaritans here for a second.
\nBut before we do that, let’s <\/p>\n
228
\n00:13:00,920 –> 00:13:02,800
\nlook at Judea, the set land in
\nthe South. <\/p>\n
229
\n00:13:03,120 –> 00:13:06,560
\nThat’s our third region here on
\nthe western part of the Jordan. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:13:06,760 –> 00:13:09,720
\nSo with Galley up in the north,
\nSamaria in between, and Judea at<\/p>\n
231
\n00:13:09,720 –> 00:13:12,080
\nthe South.
\nJudea is home to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
232
\n00:13:12,320 –> 00:13:17,120
\nWe know that that’s our target.
\nSo we start up here in Capernaum<\/p>\n
233
\n00:13:17,120 –> 00:13:19,800
\narea in Nazareth and we’re going
\nto get down into Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
234
\n00:13:19,960 –> 00:13:23,360
\nThat’s the goal.
\nAny map will tell you the best <\/p>\n
235
\n00:13:23,360 –> 00:13:26,280
\npath is straight line.
\nSamaria is the way to go. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:13:26,680 –> 00:13:27,920
\nAnd Christ thinks the same
\nthing. <\/p>\n
237
\n00:13:27,920 –> 00:13:34,120
\nLuke 9 verse 52, one verse after
\nwe’ve left and he sent <\/p>\n
238
\n00:13:34,120 –> 00:13:36,360
\nmessengers ahead of him who went
\nand entered a village of the <\/p>\n
239
\n00:13:36,360 –> 00:13:38,960
\nSamaritans to make preparations
\nfor him. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:13:38,960 –> 00:13:41,200
\nChrist says I have to get to
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:13:41,400 –> 00:13:45,280
\nSamaria is the way.
\nSo He sends disciples ahead <\/p>\n
242
\n00:13:45,400 –> 00:13:48,480
\nsaying prepare me a place.
\nWe’re going to go through <\/p>\n
243
\n00:13:48,480 –> 00:13:52,240
\nSamaria.
\nOK, so let’s then kind of figure<\/p>\n
244
\n00:13:52,240 –> 00:13:55,560
\nout, if we can, what all the
\nfriction is between the <\/p>\n
245
\n00:13:55,560 –> 00:13:59,800
\nSamaritans and the Hebrews.
\nBecause we know that when the <\/p>\n
246
\n00:13:59,800 –> 00:14:03,120
\nparable of the Good Samaritan is
\npresented, the question, who is <\/p>\n
247
\n00:14:03,120 –> 00:14:06,880
\nmy neighbor?
\nThe Samaritan couldn’t possibly <\/p>\n
248
\n00:14:06,880 –> 00:14:10,440
\nbe the answer.
\nThe Samaritans, they’re <\/p>\n
249
\n00:14:10,440 –> 00:14:13,280
\nlowlifes.
\nWe don’t we don’t deal with <\/p>\n
250
\n00:14:13,280 –> 00:14:16,760
\nthem.
\nSo who are the Samaritans? <\/p>\n
251
\n00:14:17,840 –> 00:14:20,240
\nWell, the Samaritans in Second
\nKings 17, verse 24. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:14:20,240 –> 00:14:22,120
\nYou don’t have to turn it up.
\nI’ll go ahead and read this <\/p>\n
253
\n00:14:22,120 –> 00:14:26,800
\nverse for you.
\nSecond Kings 17 and a verse 24. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:14:27,120 –> 00:14:32,600
\nThis is kind of the beginning
\nreally of the, I guess, <\/p>\n
255
\n00:14:32,600 –> 00:14:36,080
\nfoundation of the Samaritan
\nculture and empire. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:14:36,600 –> 00:14:42,360
\nSecond, Kings 17 and verse 24,
\nAssyria is wreaking havoc in the<\/p>\n
257
\n00:14:42,360 –> 00:14:45,000
\narea and what it says is and the
\nking of Syria brought people <\/p>\n
258
\n00:14:45,000 –> 00:14:50,240
\nfrom Babylon, Kutha, Ava, Hamath
\nSephravaeum and placed them in <\/p>\n
259
\n00:14:50,240 –> 00:14:52,920
\nthe cities of Samaria instead of
\nthe people of Israel. <\/p>\n
260
\n00:14:53,440 –> 00:14:57,840
\nAnd they took possession of
\nSamaria and lived in its cities.<\/p>\n
261
\n00:14:57,840 –> 00:15:01,640
\nSo what the king of Assyria does
\nis very strategic, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
262
\n00:15:01,720 –> 00:15:04,000
\nWhat he does is he says, OK, I’m
\ngoing to take people from <\/p>\n
263
\n00:15:04,320 –> 00:15:07,600
\nBabylon.
\nThis is my Babylon people. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:15:08,880 –> 00:15:10,440
\nYou guys are no longer living in
\nBabylon. <\/p>\n
265
\n00:15:10,440 –> 00:15:12,000
\nI’m going to put you here in
\nSamaria. <\/p>\n
266
\n00:15:12,240 –> 00:15:14,760
\nYou are kuthovites.
\nI’m going to take you. <\/p>\n
267
\n00:15:14,760 –> 00:15:17,400
\nYou’re going to live in Samaria.
\nYou guys are people from <\/p>\n
268
\n00:15:17,400 –> 00:15:20,720
\nSephoraeum, my Sephoraeumites
\nliving in Samaria. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:15:21,400 –> 00:15:23,400
\nEverybody in Samaria, you’re
\ngoing to live in their homes, <\/p>\n
270
\n00:15:23,400 –> 00:15:26,040
\ntheir homes, and their homes.
\nSo what does that do to a <\/p>\n
271
\n00:15:26,040 –> 00:15:28,880
\nculture?
\nWhat does that do if you’re <\/p>\n
272
\n00:15:28,880 –> 00:15:32,120
\ngoing to try to revolt against
\nthe terrible Assyrian overlords?<\/p>\n
273
\n00:15:32,360 –> 00:15:34,680
\nIf you guys and you guys and you
\nguys are all trying to get <\/p>\n
274
\n00:15:34,680 –> 00:15:36,680
\ntogether and you say, well, this
\nis a good plan, They say that’s <\/p>\n
275
\n00:15:36,680 –> 00:15:38,240
\na terrible plan.
\nWhat about this one? <\/p>\n
276
\n00:15:38,320 –> 00:15:40,360
\nAnd they say, you guys are all
\ncrazy, we’re going to go with <\/p>\n
277
\n00:15:41,800 –> 00:15:42,760
\nthis.
\nIt just doesn’t work. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:15:43,640 –> 00:15:47,800
\nIt’s a fantastic strategy as an
\noccupier because now everybody’s<\/p>\n
279
\n00:15:47,800 –> 00:15:49,080
\nmixed together.
\nNobody can talk to each other, <\/p>\n
280
\n00:15:49,080 –> 00:15:50,920
\nnobody can deal with each other.
\nAnd they just go, fine, we’ll <\/p>\n
281
\n00:15:50,920 –> 00:15:53,200
\npay whatever you want.
\nJust please don’t mix this up <\/p>\n
282
\n00:15:53,200 –> 00:15:56,120
\nanymore.
\nAnd so now over the course of <\/p>\n
283
\n00:15:56,120 –> 00:16:00,240
\ntime, what happens is this
\nbubble of Samaria becomes very <\/p>\n
284
\n00:16:00,400 –> 00:16:03,600
\nanti everyone else because not
\nonly that, but further on in the<\/p>\n
285
\n00:16:03,600 –> 00:16:07,840
\nchapter we’re told that their
\nreligion’s mixed lions started <\/p>\n
286
\n00:16:07,840 –> 00:16:09,240
\neating people.
\nIt’s a great story. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:16:09,240 –> 00:16:11,360
\nGo read it.
\nLions start eating people and <\/p>\n
288
\n00:16:11,880 –> 00:16:13,440
\nthey go, why are lions eating
\nus? <\/p>\n
289
\n00:16:14,600 –> 00:16:16,920
\nThey said, we’ll ask the priest.
\nSo they get a priest. <\/p>\n
290
\n00:16:16,920 –> 00:16:18,440
\nAnd he said, well, this is how
\nyou’re supposed to worship God. <\/p>\n
291
\n00:16:18,440 –> 00:16:22,840
\nAnd you go, oh, and they mix it
\nis that how is that how God <\/p>\n
292
\n00:16:22,840 –> 00:16:25,240
\nwants us to do it, to say, well,
\nyou know what? <\/p>\n
293
\n00:16:25,240 –> 00:16:28,560
\nThis is the way you worship God.
\nBut feel free to sprinkle in <\/p>\n
294
\n00:16:28,560 –> 00:16:30,720
\nyour own ideas too.
\nNo, this doesn’t work. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:16:32,080 –> 00:16:37,520
\nAnd so over time, this area of
\nSumeria became polar opposites <\/p>\n
296
\n00:16:37,920 –> 00:16:39,800
\nto the Jews and Hebrews were
\nsupposed to live. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:16:39,800 –> 00:16:43,560
\nSo we get to the time of
\nNehemiah when they come back and<\/p>\n
298
\n00:16:43,560 –> 00:16:48,400
\nthey try to build the wall.
\nThey’re feeble Jews is what <\/p>\n
299
\n00:16:48,400 –> 00:16:52,200
\nthey’re known.
\nThey’re feeble Jews. <\/p>\n
300
\n00:16:54,080 –> 00:16:56,920
\nAnd so there’s this friction now
\nbetween these two nations, <\/p>\n
301
\n00:16:57,040 –> 00:17:00,320
\nbetween these two cultures,
\nbetween various religions. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:17:01,040 –> 00:17:04,280
\nSo when Christ can say here’s a
\nstory about a man who’s a <\/p>\n
303
\n00:17:04,280 –> 00:17:09,079
\nSamaritan who saves an injured
\nJew, you’d get under your skin a<\/p>\n
304
\n00:17:09,079 –> 00:17:12,720
\nlittle bit.
\nBut that’s the point. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:17:12,720 –> 00:17:16,520
\nThat was what he was going for.
\nEveryone is your neighbor. <\/p>\n
306
\n00:17:17,440 –> 00:17:22,200
\nOK, So that’s the Samaria.
\nSo Christ needs to go through <\/p>\n
307
\n00:17:22,920 –> 00:17:25,800
\nSamaria to get to this area of
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
308
\n00:17:25,800 –> 00:17:30,200
\nSo what he does is he sets foot
\nand he says to his disciples, go<\/p>\n
309
\n00:17:30,200 –> 00:17:33,960
\ninto Samaria, prepare the way.
\nSo they go and they prepare the <\/p>\n
310
\n00:17:33,960 –> 00:17:35,960
\nway.
\nWhat happens? <\/p>\n
311
\n00:17:36,720 –> 00:17:39,280
\nLet’s read our next verse.
\nI’m sorry, we’re not moving very<\/p>\n
312
\n00:17:39,280 –> 00:17:41,120
\nquickly.
\nLet’s try to move fast. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:17:41,160 –> 00:17:44,360
\nVerse 53.
\nBut the people did not receive <\/p>\n
314
\n00:17:44,360 –> 00:17:48,000
\nhim.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n
315
\n00:17:48,760 –> 00:17:50,480
\nWhy didn’t the people receive
\nhim? <\/p>\n
316
\n00:17:50,480 –> 00:17:54,000
\nWhat does it say in your Bibles?
\nWhat’s the reason that they said<\/p>\n
317
\n00:17:54,000 –> 00:17:55,360
\nno, you can’t come through some
\narea? <\/p>\n
318
\n00:17:57,760 –> 00:17:58,560
\nI heard it over here.
\nWhat? <\/p>\n
319
\n00:18:00,480 –> 00:18:04,840
\nBecause his face was as though
\nhe were going to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
320
\n00:18:07,080 –> 00:18:09,360
\nThat’s a weird thing to say.
\nNo, you can’t come through my <\/p>\n
321
\n00:18:09,360 –> 00:18:12,240
\nland for you’re going to
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
322
\n00:18:12,240 –> 00:18:13,440
\nOh, Jerusalem.
\nNope. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:18:13,760 –> 00:18:18,280
\nAnother way.
\nWhy has Jesus been to Samaria <\/p>\n
324
\n00:18:18,280 –> 00:18:20,840
\nbefore?
\nYes, he has. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:18:20,840 –> 00:18:22,240
\nJohn chapter 4.
\nYou don’t need to turn up. <\/p>\n
326
\n00:18:22,240 –> 00:18:25,280
\nI’ll read some verses for you.
\nJohn chapter 4, he visits a <\/p>\n
327
\n00:18:25,280 –> 00:18:30,200
\nwoman at a well and in John
\nchapter 4 he purposely goes out <\/p>\n
328
\n00:18:30,200 –> 00:18:35,080
\nof his way to visit Samaria.
\nIt says in John chapter 4 verse <\/p>\n
329
\n00:18:35,080 –> 00:18:38,120
\nfour, and he had to pass through
\nSamaria. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:18:38,520 –> 00:18:41,320
\nSo he came to a town of Samaria
\ncalled Sychar near the field <\/p>\n
331
\n00:18:41,320 –> 00:18:43,040
\nthat Jacob had given to his son
\nJoseph. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:18:43,280 –> 00:18:47,520
\nJacob’s well was there, so
\nJesus, wearied as he was from <\/p>\n
333
\n00:18:47,520 –> 00:18:49,000
\nhis journey, was sitting beside
\nthe well. <\/p>\n
334
\n00:18:49,000 –> 00:18:52,840
\nIt was about the 6th hour and a
\nwoman from Samaria came to draw <\/p>\n
335
\n00:18:52,840 –> 00:18:56,800
\nwater.
\nLook at the friction between <\/p>\n
336
\n00:18:56,800 –> 00:19:02,960
\nthese people.
\nA wearied Lord sits down. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:19:04,240 –> 00:19:05,400
\nHow often do you read Jesus
\nsitting? <\/p>\n
338
\n00:19:05,400 –> 00:19:08,240
\nFirst of all, he sits down,
\nwearied from his journey. <\/p>\n
339
\n00:19:08,400 –> 00:19:11,080
\nAnd he said to her, give me a
\ndrink. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:19:12,840 –> 00:19:24,560
\nThe woman, a Samaritan, said to
\nhim, How is it that you, a Jew, <\/p>\n
341
\n00:19:25,400 –> 00:19:35,920
\nask for a drink from me, a woman
\nof Samaria, in parentheses? <\/p>\n
342
\n00:19:36,160 –> 00:19:39,200
\nFor the Jews have no dealings
\nwith Samaritans. <\/p>\n
343
\n00:19:39,440 –> 00:19:43,640
\nDo you see the friction here?
\nIs Christ in Samaria at this <\/p>\n
344
\n00:19:43,640 –> 00:19:44,720
\ntime?
\nYes, he is. <\/p>\n
345
\n00:19:45,280 –> 00:19:48,240
\nWhy is He allowed to go into
\nSamaria in one area and they say<\/p>\n
346
\n00:19:48,240 –> 00:19:51,360
\nno, no, no, you can’t go through
\nat this time because you’re <\/p>\n
347
\n00:19:51,360 –> 00:19:53,960
\ngoing to Jerusalem?
\nWell, I think in John 4 we’re <\/p>\n
348
\n00:19:53,960 –> 00:19:58,040
\ngiven another little clue.
\nI’m going to read for you coming<\/p>\n
349
\n00:19:58,040 –> 00:20:04,600
\ndown to verse 19.
\nRight after this, the woman and <\/p>\n
350
\n00:20:04,600 –> 00:20:07,440
\nJesus have a conversation about
\nhow many husbands she has. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:20:07,960 –> 00:20:12,080
\nHe reveals way more about her
\nthan she thinks he should know. <\/p>\n
352
\n00:20:12,560 –> 00:20:18,680
\nAnd she says to him, verse 19,
\nSir, I perceive you’re a <\/p>\n
353
\n00:20:18,680 –> 00:20:23,200
\nprophet.
\nYeah, good guess He just told <\/p>\n
354
\n00:20:23,200 –> 00:20:27,600
\nyou about all of your husbands.
\nAnd he says, she says, our <\/p>\n
355
\n00:20:27,600 –> 00:20:35,320
\nfathers worshipped on this
\nmountain, But you say that in <\/p>\n
356
\n00:20:35,320 –> 00:20:38,440
\nJerusalem is the place where
\npeople ought to worship. <\/p>\n
357
\n00:20:39,520 –> 00:20:44,360
\nSo what’s the difference
\nreligiously between Samaritans <\/p>\n
358
\n00:20:44,800 –> 00:20:48,440
\nand Jews?
\nWell, it was where their holy <\/p>\n
359
\n00:20:48,440 –> 00:20:51,120
\nplaces were.
\nMount Garrison, probably from <\/p>\n
360
\n00:20:51,120 –> 00:20:54,360
\nDeuteronomy 11, is where the
\nSamaritans found their holy <\/p>\n
361
\n00:20:54,360 –> 00:20:59,680
\nplace, this mountain, she says,
\nBut you say it’s Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
362
\n00:21:00,760 –> 00:21:04,960
\nSo coming back to Luke Chapter
\n9, they say, oh, you’re going to<\/p>\n
363
\n00:21:04,960 –> 00:21:09,080
\nJerusalem.
\nNope, not today. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:21:10,200 –> 00:21:13,880
\nFind a different route.
\nAnd so Christ is forced to take <\/p>\n
365
\n00:21:13,880 –> 00:21:16,480
\na detour.
\nAnd we know he takes a detour <\/p>\n
366
\n00:21:16,480 –> 00:21:19,800
\nbecause we have two more places
\nto just kind of familiarize <\/p>\n
367
\n00:21:19,800 –> 00:21:20,800
\nourselves with.
\nOn our map. <\/p>\n
368
\n00:21:21,120 –> 00:21:24,920
\nWe have the region of the north
\ncalled Decapolis, and right to <\/p>\n
369
\n00:21:24,920 –> 00:21:26,720
\nthe east of the Jordan River, we
\nhave Pereira. <\/p>\n
370
\n00:21:27,160 –> 00:21:31,000
\nWe’ve probably heard of four of
\nthese places before. <\/p>\n
371
\n00:21:31,280 –> 00:21:36,480
\nPray a little harder to find
\ncontextual stories for. <\/p>\n
372
\n00:21:36,680 –> 00:21:39,280
\nBut to capitalists, we’ve heard
\nof certainly Gali, Samaria and <\/p>\n
373
\n00:21:39,280 –> 00:21:42,560
\nJudea we’ve heard of.
\nSo what he does, he says I’m <\/p>\n
374
\n00:21:42,560 –> 00:21:45,600
\ngoing to travel through Samaria.
\nAnother reason we know he wants <\/p>\n
375
\n00:21:45,600 –> 00:21:49,320
\nto travel through Samaria is in
\nJohn 7, the Jews had made it <\/p>\n
376
\n00:21:49,320 –> 00:21:54,520
\ntheir mission to kill Jesus.
\nAnd if he’s trying to travel <\/p>\n
377
\n00:21:54,520 –> 00:21:58,120
\ndown there without being killed,
\nSamaria is a good route. <\/p>\n
378
\n00:21:58,960 –> 00:22:00,360
\nSo he says, I’m going to go
\nthrough Samaria. <\/p>\n
379
\n00:22:00,680 –> 00:22:02,800
\nThe Samaritans say, no, you’re
\nnot. <\/p>\n
380
\n00:22:04,160 –> 00:22:11,240
\nAnd so we know from Mark Chapter
\n10, Mark Chapter 10 tells us <\/p>\n
381
\n00:22:11,240 –> 00:22:14,760
\nthat he crossed over the Jordan
\nback into Judea. <\/p>\n
382
\n00:22:15,960 –> 00:22:20,600
\nAnd if he’s going to crossover
\nthe Jordan back into Judea, it <\/p>\n
383
\n00:22:20,600 –> 00:22:22,720
\nmeans he had to cross it
\nsomewhere in the north to get <\/p>\n
384
\n00:22:22,720 –> 00:22:26,120
\nover there in the first place.
\nSo with that, with those clues, <\/p>\n
385
\n00:22:26,280 –> 00:22:28,640
\nwe can pretty much figure out
\nthe route that he would have <\/p>\n
386
\n00:22:28,640 –> 00:22:33,440
\ntaken to go from Capernaum area,
\nhis home base, down into <\/p>\n
387
\n00:22:33,440 –> 00:22:36,560
\nJerusalem.
\nAgain, this is Luke’s version. <\/p>\n
388
\n00:22:37,680 –> 00:22:40,200
\nThe other gospels placed him in
\nJerusalem a couple different <\/p>\n
389
\n00:22:40,200 –> 00:22:44,240
\ntimes in the stories.
\nBut Luke says, let’s make it 1 <\/p>\n
390
\n00:22:44,320 –> 00:22:46,440
\nstory, let’s make it a journey
\nnarrative. <\/p>\n
391
\n00:22:47,480 –> 00:22:51,480
\nLet’s take you through 11
\nglorious chapters of Christ’s <\/p>\n
392
\n00:22:51,480 –> 00:22:54,960
\njourney to Jerusalem.
\nAll right, so with that being <\/p>\n
393
\n00:22:54,960 –> 00:23:01,120
\nsaid, you guys ready to start?
\nLet’s go. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:23:01,480 –> 00:23:03,600
\nLet’s start this journey to
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
395
\n00:23:03,920 –> 00:23:11,520
\nVerse 57 as they went in the
\nway, the way fantastic 2 words, <\/p>\n
396
\n00:23:11,760 –> 00:23:14,440
\nanytime you find them in
\nScriptures, look at the type, <\/p>\n
397
\n00:23:14,920 –> 00:23:18,760
\nthe way of God.
\nSo as they went in the way, <\/p>\n
398
\n00:23:20,480 –> 00:23:23,920
\nsomeone said to him, I’m going
\nto follow you wherever you go. <\/p>\n
399
\n00:23:24,120 –> 00:23:27,760
\nAnd Jesus said to him, foxes
\nhave holes, birds of the air <\/p>\n
400
\n00:23:27,760 –> 00:23:29,200
\nhave nests.
\nThe Son of Man has nowhere to <\/p>\n
401
\n00:23:29,200 –> 00:23:31,840
\nlay his head to another he said,
\nfollow me. <\/p>\n
402
\n00:23:31,840 –> 00:23:35,640
\nBut he said, Lord, let me first
\ngo and bury my father. <\/p>\n
403
\n00:23:35,920 –> 00:23:38,560
\nAnd Jesus said to him, leave the
\ndead to bury their own dead. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:23:38,560 –> 00:23:40,880
\nBut As for you, go and proclaim
\nthe Kingdom of God. <\/p>\n
405
\n00:23:41,160 –> 00:23:44,440
\nYet another said, I will follow
\nyou, Lord, but let me first say <\/p>\n
406
\n00:23:44,440 –> 00:23:48,080
\nfarewell to those at my home.
\nJesus said to him, No one who <\/p>\n
407
\n00:23:48,080 –> 00:23:50,440
\nputs his hand to the plow and
\nlooks back is fit for the <\/p>\n
408
\n00:23:50,440 –> 00:23:55,560
\nKingdom of God.
\nSo instantly we’ve taken one <\/p>\n
409
\n00:23:55,560 –> 00:24:01,440
\nstep to Jerusalem and we’re
\ngiven three stories of potential<\/p>\n
410
\n00:24:01,440 –> 00:24:10,360
\ndisciples. 3 would be followers,
\nthree people who say I can, I <\/p>\n
411
\n00:24:10,480 –> 00:24:12,520
\ncan do that.
\nI can, I can carry a cross to <\/p>\n
412
\n00:24:12,520 –> 00:24:16,560
\nJerusalem.
\nYeah, sign me up. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:24:18,400 –> 00:24:21,720
\nSo let’s take a look then at
\nthese three potential disciples,<\/p>\n
414
\n00:24:21,920 –> 00:24:26,880
\nbecause what Luke does is we can
\ntell from Matthew’s gospel where<\/p>\n
415
\n00:24:26,880 –> 00:24:32,040
\nthese come in a different order,
\nthat Luke probably takes three <\/p>\n
416
\n00:24:32,040 –> 00:24:34,240
\nstories of individuals from the
\nway. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:24:34,240 –> 00:24:37,880
\nAnd he puts them all at the
\nbeginning, right at the <\/p>\n
418
\n00:24:37,880 –> 00:24:41,240
\nbeginning.
\nAnd he says, do you want to <\/p>\n
419
\n00:24:41,240 –> 00:24:45,800
\nfollow Christ to Jerusalem?
\nThere’s a cost to that. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:24:48,120 –> 00:24:51,600
\nIt’s not simply signing a name
\nand saying, where’s the bus? <\/p>\n
421
\n00:24:54,360 –> 00:24:56,440
\nYou carry a cross all the way
\nthere. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:24:58,160 –> 00:25:01,440
\nSo let’s take a look at the 1st.
\nAs they were going on the road, <\/p>\n
423
\n00:25:02,000 –> 00:25:04,480
\nsomeone said to him, I’ll follow
\nyou wherever you go. <\/p>\n
424
\n00:25:06,320 –> 00:25:08,760
\nJesus said to him, Fox of holes,
\nbirds, the air of nest, Son of <\/p>\n
425
\n00:25:08,760 –> 00:25:13,040
\nman has nowhere to lay his head.
\nThe 1st man volunteer voluntold.<\/p>\n
426
\n00:25:13,040 –> 00:25:18,200
\nWhat do you guys think?
\nVolunteer, Voluntold volunteer. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:25:18,320 –> 00:25:20,840
\nHe says, I’m going to follow you
\nwherever you go. <\/p>\n
428
\n00:25:20,840 –> 00:25:22,960
\nFantastic.
\nHe volunteers to be a disciple. <\/p>\n
429
\n00:25:23,280 –> 00:25:25,640
\nA nice little, just quick little
\nnote to jot down. <\/p>\n
430
\n00:25:25,840 –> 00:25:29,040
\nMatthew 819 tells us about the
\nstory. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:25:29,560 –> 00:25:31,840
\nIt informs us that it’s a
\nscribe. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:25:33,040 –> 00:25:37,320
\nThis is a scribe who says who?
\nVolunteers? <\/p>\n
433
\n00:25:37,320 –> 00:25:39,040
\nWho puts himself out there and
\nsays I’m going to follow you, <\/p>\n
434
\n00:25:39,040 –> 00:25:47,840
\nJesus.
\nHad it been Jason Robinson and a<\/p>\n
435
\n00:25:47,840 –> 00:25:51,200
\nscribe comes to me and says I’ll
\nfollow you wherever you go <\/p>\n
436
\n00:25:51,840 –> 00:25:55,080
\ninstantly I would say you’re
\ngoing to follow me. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:25:55,440 –> 00:25:57,680
\nA scribe.
\nPerfect. <\/p>\n
438
\n00:25:57,680 –> 00:25:59,560
\nI don’t have a great
\nrelationship with the scribe. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:25:59,560 –> 00:26:02,080
\nThis is a great way in.
\nTell them about our journey. <\/p>\n
440
\n00:26:04,920 –> 00:26:08,480
\nThis isn’t Jason at all.
\nThis is the Lord Jesus Christ <\/p>\n
441
\n00:26:09,440 –> 00:26:14,840
\nand he says foxes of holes,
\nbirds, the air of nests, but the<\/p>\n
442
\n00:26:14,840 –> 00:26:16,000
\nSon of Man has nowhere to lay
\nhis head. <\/p>\n
443
\n00:26:16,520 –> 00:26:17,720
\nSo the imitation is I’m going to
\nfollow you. <\/p>\n
444
\n00:26:17,720 –> 00:26:20,520
\nWherever you go, Wherever it is
\nyou go, I’ll follow you. <\/p>\n
445
\n00:26:21,040 –> 00:26:24,520
\nI would have said that’s
\nfantastic, let’s go to <\/p>\n
446
\n00:26:24,520 –> 00:26:29,160
\nJerusalem.
\nChrist says, do you know the <\/p>\n
447
\n00:26:29,160 –> 00:26:33,440
\ncost?
\nI have nowhere to lay my head. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:26:34,000 –> 00:26:35,800
\nI’m not even like a fox or a
\nbird. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:26:38,720 –> 00:26:42,560
\nThat’s his response.
\nWhat Christ is doing with this <\/p>\n
450
\n00:26:42,560 –> 00:26:46,920
\nfirst is he’s challenging anyone
\nwho would limit their <\/p>\n
451
\n00:26:46,920 –> 00:26:53,880
\ncommitment, who would say I’ll
\ngo with you, but it hopefully <\/p>\n
452
\n00:26:54,200 –> 00:26:56,760
\ncomes with four-star hotels or
\nbetter. <\/p>\n
453
\n00:26:57,960 –> 00:27:00,320
\nThere better be comfort, there
\nbetter be peace. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:27:00,720 –> 00:27:03,840
\nIt better be an easy walk to
\nJerusalem then sign me up. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:27:06,040 –> 00:27:09,040
\nBut Christ is saying you have to
\ngive in. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:27:09,040 –> 00:27:15,040
\nYou have to just gum but
\nunlimited commitment. <\/p>\n
457
\n00:27:17,080 –> 00:27:19,720
\nAnybody who limits their
\ncommitment doesn’t belong on the<\/p>\n
458
\n00:27:19,720 –> 00:27:22,960
\nroad to Jerusalem.
\nNow the fascinating thing is, <\/p>\n
459
\n00:27:23,120 –> 00:27:27,320
\ndoes scripture tell us that this
\nman didn’t follow Christ? <\/p>\n
460
\n00:27:29,200 –> 00:27:32,920
\nWe don’t know the answer.
\nHe could have said, great point,<\/p>\n
461
\n00:27:33,720 –> 00:27:36,960
\nI’m coming anyway.
\nBut all three of these are <\/p>\n
462
\n00:27:36,960 –> 00:27:40,240
\nopen-ended.
\nAll three of these are given a <\/p>\n
463
\n00:27:40,240 –> 00:27:48,120
\nchallenge that they might, they
\njust might have said, OK, I’m <\/p>\n
464
\n00:27:48,120 –> 00:27:52,040
\nwilling to pay that cost.
\nWe’re not told. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:27:52,440 –> 00:27:56,960
\nLuke purposefully slams 3
\nstories together, open-ended <\/p>\n
466
\n00:27:57,680 –> 00:27:59,600
\nright after the invitation to
\nfall into Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
467
\n00:27:59,600 –> 00:28:02,960
\nBecause brother sisters, we
\nmight find ourselves just like <\/p>\n
468
\n00:28:02,960 –> 00:28:07,000
\none of these.
\nLet’s look at the second verse <\/p>\n
469
\n00:28:07,000 –> 00:28:10,840
\n59 to another.
\nHe said follow me, but he said, <\/p>\n
470
\n00:28:11,200 –> 00:28:13,080
\nLord, let me first go in to bury
\nmy father. <\/p>\n
471
\n00:28:13,080 –> 00:28:15,560
\nAnd Jesus said to him, leave the
\ndead to bury their own dead. <\/p>\n
472
\n00:28:15,560 –> 00:28:18,760
\nBut As for you go and proclaim
\nthe Kingdom of God, volunteer, <\/p>\n
473
\n00:28:18,840 –> 00:28:25,520
\nvoluntold, voluntold.
\nThis man is called by Christ. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:28:25,800 –> 00:28:28,800
\nWe have both in our midst by the
\nscissors in this room. <\/p>\n
475
\n00:28:28,800 –> 00:28:32,520
\nWe have both.
\nWe have some who just who felt <\/p>\n
476
\n00:28:32,520 –> 00:28:34,040
\nlike they needed to follow
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
477
\n00:28:36,640 –> 00:28:41,360
\nAnd this man was called Christ,
\ncalled out to him, called to be <\/p>\n
478
\n00:28:41,360 –> 00:28:43,840
\na disciple.
\nMatthew 821 goes over this. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:28:43,960 –> 00:28:47,720
\nHe was already a follower.
\nThis man was already somebody <\/p>\n
480
\n00:28:47,720 –> 00:28:52,280
\nwho followed Christ.
\nHe knew everything that was <\/p>\n
481
\n00:28:52,280 –> 00:28:54,120
\ninvolved.
\nHe heard the speech about the <\/p>\n
482
\n00:28:54,120 –> 00:28:56,480
\ncross.
\nHe heard the speech about what <\/p>\n
483
\n00:28:56,480 –> 00:29:00,040
\nawaited in Jerusalem.
\nHe was already a follower. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:29:00,320 –> 00:29:04,440
\nSo Christ says, hey, hey, you,
\nlet’s let’s go to Jerusalem with<\/p>\n
485
\n00:29:04,440 –> 00:29:09,080
\nme.
\nAnd he says that’s that sounds, <\/p>\n
486
\n00:29:09,640 –> 00:29:13,760
\nthat sounds good.
\nBut I will after I bury my <\/p>\n
487
\n00:29:13,760 –> 00:29:19,160
\nfather, put Jason in the shoes
\nagain. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:29:22,000 –> 00:29:24,040
\nYeah, you’ve got to bury your
\ndad. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:29:24,320 –> 00:29:27,360
\nPlease go bury your dad.
\nMeet us down the road. <\/p>\n
490
\n00:29:27,360 –> 00:29:30,440
\nThat’s that sounds great.
\nIs that Christ’s answer? <\/p>\n
491
\n00:29:31,280 –> 00:29:34,960
\nNot at all.
\nChrist’s answer is let the dead <\/p>\n
492
\n00:29:34,960 –> 00:29:38,000
\nbury the dead.
\nIt’s awfully harsh, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
493
\n00:29:39,320 –> 00:29:41,080
\nWhat was the problem with his
\nanswer? <\/p>\n
494
\n00:29:41,080 –> 00:29:44,040
\nWhat was the one word in his
\nanswer? <\/p>\n
495
\n00:29:45,880 –> 00:29:52,880
\nFirst, let me first go bury my
\nfather. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:29:53,400 –> 00:29:56,080
\nThe challenge of the second is
\nto anybody who would <\/p>\n
497
\n00:29:56,080 –> 00:29:59,640
\nprocrastinate in their
\ncommitment to say I’ll get <\/p>\n
498
\n00:29:59,640 –> 00:30:06,120
\naround to it, but not right now.
\nThat sounds that sounds like a <\/p>\n
499
\n00:30:06,120 –> 00:30:10,720
\nsteep cost.
\nI know I have it in me, but not <\/p>\n
500
\n00:30:10,720 –> 00:30:13,960
\ntoday.
\nAgain, do we know the result? <\/p>\n
501
\n00:30:14,560 –> 00:30:16,680
\nWe don’t.
\nLuke leaves it open-ended for <\/p>\n
502
\n00:30:16,680 –> 00:30:17,920
\nus.
\nHe might have followed. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:30:18,800 –> 00:30:23,520
\nWe’re not told.
\nThe third, yet another said I <\/p>\n
504
\n00:30:23,520 –> 00:30:26,720
\nwill follow you, Lord, but let
\nme first say farewell to those <\/p>\n
505
\n00:30:26,720 –> 00:30:28,240
\nin my house.
\nIt’s a combination of the two, <\/p>\n
506
\n00:30:28,240 –> 00:30:30,720
\nisn’t it?
\nIt’s a volunteer, but he has a <\/p>\n
507
\n00:30:30,720 –> 00:30:34,960
\ncondition, he says.
\nI have to also first say goodbye<\/p>\n
508
\n00:30:35,120 –> 00:30:40,840
\nto those at my home.
\nChrist’s response sums up his <\/p>\n
509
\n00:30:40,840 –> 00:30:44,600
\njourney, doesn’t it?
\nJesus said to him, no one who <\/p>\n
510
\n00:30:44,600 –> 00:30:46,800
\nputs his hand to the plow and
\nlooks back as fit to the king of<\/p>\n
511
\n00:30:46,800 –> 00:30:48,560
\nGod.
\nThere’s a city in the horizon, <\/p>\n
512
\n00:30:48,560 –> 00:30:52,160
\nhe says.
\nThere’s a city on the horizon. <\/p>\n
513
\n00:30:52,600 –> 00:30:57,440
\nThat’s where you look.
\nYou don’t look to the right, you<\/p>\n
514
\n00:30:57,440 –> 00:31:00,280
\ndon’t look to the left, and you
\ncertainly don’t look behind you.<\/p>\n
515
\n00:31:01,320 –> 00:31:03,280
\nYou look at the city and you go
\nstraight toward it. <\/p>\n
516
\n00:31:03,280 –> 00:31:06,240
\nIt says stay in the straight
\npath. <\/p>\n
517
\n00:31:06,320 –> 00:31:08,920
\nIf you look to the right and if
\nyou look to the left now and <\/p>\n
518
\n00:31:08,920 –> 00:31:11,520
\nthen you might not make it to
\nthe city. <\/p>\n
519
\n00:31:11,560 –> 00:31:14,480
\nAnd his challenge to the third
\nis those who are distracted in <\/p>\n
520
\n00:31:14,480 –> 00:31:17,840
\ntheir commitment.
\nAnd So what he’s doing is he’s <\/p>\n
521
\n00:31:17,840 –> 00:31:22,520
\nsaying Luke is purposely putting
\n3 amazing disciples in here <\/p>\n
522
\n00:31:22,720 –> 00:31:26,040
\nright at the beginning.
\nWe’ve barely set a foot on this <\/p>\n
523
\n00:31:26,040 –> 00:31:28,880
\nroad to Jerusalem.
\nAnd he says these are the three <\/p>\n
524
\n00:31:28,880 –> 00:31:33,600
\nkinds of people.
\nThere’s the limiter, there’s the<\/p>\n
525
\n00:31:33,600 –> 00:31:37,560
\nprocrastinator, and there’s the
\ndistracted. <\/p>\n
526
\n00:31:38,200 –> 00:31:40,840
\nYou’ll see in your handout,
\nbrothers and sisters, you don’t <\/p>\n
527
\n00:31:40,840 –> 00:31:44,840
\nhave to circle one.
\nMaybe these don’t apply to you, <\/p>\n
528
\n00:31:45,120 –> 00:31:49,200
\nbut maybe they do.
\nWhich potential disciple do you <\/p>\n
529
\n00:31:49,200 –> 00:31:52,280
\nrelate to the most?
\nIf you were going to say that’s <\/p>\n
530
\n00:31:52,280 –> 00:31:55,000
\nmy problem, maybe it’s one of
\nthese three. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:31:55,360 –> 00:31:59,960
\nAnd it’s nice to kind of just,
\nI’m not alone in this. <\/p>\n
532
\n00:32:02,480 –> 00:32:05,400
\nChrist will have you anyway.
\nHe’ll invite you on that road <\/p>\n
533
\n00:32:05,400 –> 00:32:07,840
\nanyway.
\nBut he’s got a challenge to see <\/p>\n
534
\n00:32:07,840 –> 00:32:09,960
\nthe limiter.
\nThe journey appeared easy <\/p>\n
535
\n00:32:10,080 –> 00:32:12,920
\nbecause he doesn’t, He doesn’t
\neven know what the cross is. <\/p>\n
536
\n00:32:14,240 –> 00:32:17,600
\nHe’s not a follower yet the
\nsecond we’re told was a <\/p>\n
537
\n00:32:17,600 –> 00:32:20,280
\ndisciple, wasn’t he?
\nMatthew 8 tells us he was <\/p>\n
538
\n00:32:20,280 –> 00:32:21,880
\nalready a disciple.
\nHe knew that. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:32:21,880 –> 00:32:27,040
\nThat cross right there, that’s
\nheavy, but I’ll get around to it<\/p>\n
540
\n00:32:27,040 –> 00:32:30,680
\neventually.
\nTrust me, I’ll start Monday. <\/p>\n
541
\n00:32:32,600 –> 00:32:35,760
\nAnd the distracted also
\nunderstands the weight of the <\/p>\n
542
\n00:32:35,760 –> 00:32:38,720
\ncross.
\nBut you know what? <\/p>\n
543
\n00:32:39,560 –> 00:32:43,880
\nThere’s other things that come
\nup just at this time. <\/p>\n
544
\n00:32:43,880 –> 00:32:46,080
\nIt’s it just, it just doesn’t
\nwork right now. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:32:46,400 –> 00:32:50,280
\nI’ll get to it.
\nBut this, oh, this, and and this<\/p>\n
546
\n00:32:50,280 –> 00:32:52,680
\nlooks great too.
\nSo those are our three <\/p>\n
547
\n00:32:52,680 –> 00:32:54,440
\nintroductions, brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
548
\n00:32:54,920 –> 00:32:57,520
\nThose are the three.
\nWe’ve just started the journey <\/p>\n
549
\n00:32:57,520 –> 00:33:02,640
\nand already we’re running into
\nthree fantastic disciples who, <\/p>\n
550
\n00:33:03,360 –> 00:33:04,880
\nman, they’re just like us,
\naren’t they? <\/p>\n
551
\n00:33:05,920 –> 00:33:08,760
\nAnd I think Luke purposely pulls
\nthree of these stories and says <\/p>\n
552
\n00:33:08,760 –> 00:33:10,560
\nthese belong in the beginning.
\nBecause if you’re going to <\/p>\n
553
\n00:33:10,560 –> 00:33:12,040
\nfollow him on that road, if
\nyou’re going to follow him in <\/p>\n
554
\n00:33:12,040 –> 00:33:16,840
\nthe way, no, there’s a cost with
\nfollowing. <\/p>\n
555
\n00:33:17,040 –> 00:33:22,800
\nAll three of these were taught a
\ncost and we don’t know what the <\/p>\n
556
\n00:33:22,800 –> 00:33:25,160
\nresult was.
\nDid they follow him or not? <\/p>\n
557
\n00:33:28,160 –> 00:33:30,200
\nWe have to make the same answer
\nin our lives, don’t we? <\/p>\n
558
\n00:33:31,040 –> 00:33:34,480
\nSo the next question I wanted to
\nask you guys here is how heavy <\/p>\n
559
\n00:33:34,480 –> 00:33:37,000
\nis your cross?
\nHopefully you’ve had a chance to<\/p>\n
560
\n00:33:37,000 –> 00:33:40,200
\nlook at the first question.
\nWhat is the heavy cross that you<\/p>\n
561
\n00:33:40,200 –> 00:33:41,800
\nbear in your spiritual walk to
\nJerusalem? <\/p>\n
562
\n00:33:41,800 –> 00:33:44,000
\nYou don’t need to put an answer
\ndown, but but think about it if <\/p>\n
563
\n00:33:44,000 –> 00:33:46,120
\nyou could.
\nWhat’s something that in your <\/p>\n
564
\n00:33:46,120 –> 00:33:51,160
\nlife feels like it’s weighing
\nyou down spiritually? <\/p>\n
565
\n00:33:53,880 –> 00:33:57,480
\nAnd how heavy is your cross?
\nIt’s important to ask yourself <\/p>\n
566
\n00:33:57,480 –> 00:34:02,360
\nthis, do you even notice how
\nheavy your cross is? <\/p>\n
567
\n00:34:05,160 –> 00:34:08,560
\nIs it not noticeable?
\nIs it light? <\/p>\n
568
\n00:34:09,120 –> 00:34:10,920
\nDo you say?
\nOh yeah, that’s right. <\/p>\n
569
\n00:34:11,080 –> 00:34:12,920
\nI know I do have crossed.
\nThat’s right. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:34:12,920 –> 00:34:15,920
\nYeah, I do.
\nIt’s that little toothpick right<\/p>\n
571
\n00:34:15,920 –> 00:34:18,560
\nhere.
\nIs it noticeable? <\/p>\n
572
\n00:34:19,080 –> 00:34:23,360
\nYeah, it’s there.
\nIs it heavy or brothers and <\/p>\n
573
\n00:34:23,360 –> 00:34:25,120
\nsisters?
\nIs it impossible? <\/p>\n
574
\n00:34:27,040 –> 00:34:35,320
\nBecause if you look at the story
\nof those 3 disciples, brothers <\/p>\n
575
\n00:34:35,320 –> 00:34:37,360
\nand sisters, it seems
\nimpossible. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:34:38,920 –> 00:34:43,920
\nI can’t bury my dad.
\nI can’t say goodbye to my mom. <\/p>\n
577
\n00:34:43,920 –> 00:34:50,960
\nWhat kind of cost is this?
\nSo, brothers and sisters, that <\/p>\n
578
\n00:34:50,960 –> 00:34:54,040
\nthat’s the point, it takes
\neverything. <\/p>\n
579
\n00:34:54,679 –> 00:34:56,840
\nDoes Christ really not us, want
\nus to care about our family? <\/p>\n
580
\n00:34:56,840 –> 00:34:58,280
\nOf course not.
\nThat’s not the point. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:35:00,160 –> 00:35:03,320
\nThe point is the priority is
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:35:05,320 –> 00:35:07,760
\nYou plow straight, you get
\nthere. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:35:09,720 –> 00:35:16,600
\nIf anything holds you back, if
\nanything holds you back, don’t <\/p>\n
584
\n00:35:16,600 –> 00:35:20,440
\nlet it.
\nYour family should be dragging <\/p>\n
585
\n00:35:20,440 –> 00:35:22,520
\nyou with dragging you along with
\nthem. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:35:23,080 –> 00:35:27,760
\nThat’s where we’re all going.
\nIf they’re not, it’s tough. <\/p>\n
587
\n00:35:29,600 –> 00:35:33,520
\nYou keep in touch.
\nYou drag them as far as you can,<\/p>\n
588
\n00:35:34,400 –> 00:35:41,360
\nbut you got to get your cross to
\nJerusalem, he tells us in Luke <\/p>\n
589
\n00:35:41,360 –> 00:35:46,080
\n9.
\nIf anyone would come after me, <\/p>\n
590
\n00:35:46,560 –> 00:35:53,920
\nlet him deny himself, take up
\nhis cross every single day and <\/p>\n
591
\n00:35:53,920 –> 00:36:00,640
\nfollow me, you know he says this
\nagain, Luke 14. <\/p>\n
592
\n00:36:01,200 –> 00:36:04,960
\nWhere are we in Luke 14?
\nMid journey, Wouldn’t we? <\/p>\n
593
\n00:36:05,000 –> 00:36:08,360
\nProbably mid journey in Luke’s
\njourney narrative. <\/p>\n
594
\n00:36:09,000 –> 00:36:11,320
\nIf anyone comes to me and does
\nnot hate his own father and <\/p>\n
595
\n00:36:11,320 –> 00:36:13,640
\nmother and wife and children and
\nbrothers and sisters, yes, and <\/p>\n
596
\n00:36:13,640 –> 00:36:15,960
\neven his own life, he can’t be
\nmy disciple. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:36:16,120 –> 00:36:22,240
\nThat sounds terrible.
\nWhoever does not bear his own <\/p>\n
598
\n00:36:22,240 –> 00:36:26,520
\ncross and come after me cannot
\nbe my disciple. <\/p>\n
599
\n00:36:26,640 –> 00:36:29,920
\nWhat does it mean to to if we
\nhate our father and our mother <\/p>\n
600
\n00:36:30,000 –> 00:36:32,600
\nand our and our wife and
\nchildren and brothers and <\/p>\n
601
\n00:36:32,600 –> 00:36:33,320
\nsisters?
\nIs Christ? <\/p>\n
602
\n00:36:33,320 –> 00:36:35,200
\nNo, no, no, no.
\nHe’s first. <\/p>\n
603
\n00:36:35,200 –> 00:36:37,440
\nJohn, whoever hates his
\nbrothers, a murderer. <\/p>\n
604
\n00:36:39,520 –> 00:36:41,920
\nIf a man say I love God and
\nhates his brother, what is he? <\/p>\n
605
\n00:36:41,960 –> 00:36:45,800
\nHe’s a liar.
\nYou have to love them, but the <\/p>\n
606
\n00:36:45,800 –> 00:36:49,120
\npriority has to be a love for
\nGod. <\/p>\n
607
\n00:36:50,000 –> 00:36:53,320
\nIt has to be your love for God.
\nThat’s the thing that gets you <\/p>\n
608
\n00:36:53,320 –> 00:36:56,160
\nto Jerusalem.
\nYou pick up that cross every <\/p>\n
609
\n00:36:56,160 –> 00:36:59,480
\nsingle day.
\nYou follow Christ there. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:37:03,680 –> 00:37:12,400
\nYou pick it up every single day.
\nDo you notice that cross every <\/p>\n
611
\n00:37:12,400 –> 00:37:15,080
\nsingle day?
\nDo you wake up and go, the <\/p>\n
612
\n00:37:16,720 –> 00:37:19,760
\nkingdom’s not here yet.
\nIt’s like a lug through another <\/p>\n
613
\n00:37:19,760 –> 00:37:24,760
\nday carrying this thing around.
\nIt’s daily, brothers and <\/p>\n
614
\n00:37:24,760 –> 00:37:28,400
\nsisters, but it’s not supposed
\nto be terrible. <\/p>\n
615
\n00:37:30,040 –> 00:37:37,680
\nPsalm 68 conveniently tells us,
\nblessed be the Lord who daily <\/p>\n
616
\n00:37:38,520 –> 00:37:41,560
\nbears us up.
\nHe lifts us up. <\/p>\n
617
\n00:37:42,440 –> 00:37:45,640
\nYou carry that cross every day
\nand you and you stumble and you <\/p>\n
618
\n00:37:45,640 –> 00:37:50,440
\nfall down because it’s so heavy
\nand it’s there and it’s obvious.<\/p>\n
619
\n00:37:51,960 –> 00:37:55,720
\nBut blessed be the God who says
\nyou’ve got this. <\/p>\n
620
\n00:37:56,080 –> 00:38:02,360
\nI’ll pick you up every day.
\nSo you wake up and you say I got<\/p>\n
621
\n00:38:02,360 –> 00:38:04,760
\nto do this again and God picks
\nyou up. <\/p>\n
622
\n00:38:04,880 –> 00:38:08,960
\nHow does God do this?
\nHow does God do this? <\/p>\n
623
\n00:38:08,960 –> 00:38:11,400
\nWell, brothers and sisters,
\nlet’s find the answer. <\/p>\n
624
\n00:38:13,640 –> 00:38:16,800
\nSee, God gives us a way to
\nendure temptations. <\/p>\n
625
\n00:38:16,920 –> 00:38:20,200
\nHe tells us that in First
\nCorinthians 10, not a way to <\/p>\n
626
\n00:38:20,200 –> 00:38:23,200
\navoid temptations.
\nHe’s not going to give you a <\/p>\n
627
\n00:38:23,200 –> 00:38:27,040
\nlife where the road to Jerusalem
\nis simple and you won’t have <\/p>\n
628
\n00:38:27,040 –> 00:38:29,720
\nany.
\nHe gives you a way to get <\/p>\n
629
\n00:38:29,720 –> 00:38:33,000
\nthrough them.
\nBecause, you see, here’s our <\/p>\n
630
\n00:38:33,000 –> 00:38:36,680
\nprogression.
\nWe find ourselves, especially <\/p>\n
631
\n00:38:36,680 –> 00:38:43,600
\nafter reading Luke 957 through
\n62, with a major struggle and we<\/p>\n
632
\n00:38:43,600 –> 00:38:46,360
\nsay, how are we expected to do
\nthis? <\/p>\n
633
\n00:38:48,080 –> 00:38:52,120
\nAnd then the next progression is
\nwe go, I can’t do this. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:38:53,160 –> 00:38:55,360
\nYou know what this is?
\nThis is terrible. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:38:57,040 –> 00:39:03,800
\nAnd God says, that’s right, you
\nnow have a choice. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:39:06,440 –> 00:39:09,240
\nYou now have a choice.
\nNow that you’ve realized that <\/p>\n
637
\n00:39:09,240 –> 00:39:14,240
\nyou can’t do this, I can work
\nwith you. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:39:16,080 –> 00:39:21,200
\nBut we have a choice, don’t we?
\nWe can say I can’t do this <\/p>\n
639
\n00:39:22,720 –> 00:39:23,960
\ncross, you’re staying here
\ntoday. <\/p>\n
640
\n00:39:25,120 –> 00:39:31,920
\nOr we can say I can’t do this.
\nGod daily. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:39:32,000 –> 00:39:36,840
\nBear me up.
\nWe have to find the third phase.<\/p>\n
642
\n00:39:37,880 –> 00:39:40,800
\nBut what is the third phase,
\nbrothers and sisters? <\/p>\n
643
\n00:39:41,800 –> 00:39:44,240
\nIt needs to be some sort of
\ntotal dependence on God. <\/p>\n
644
\n00:39:44,240 –> 00:39:45,840
\nThat has to be the answer.
\nWe know that. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:39:47,480 –> 00:39:49,680
\nBut how do we find phase three?
\nNow? <\/p>\n
646
\n00:39:50,440 –> 00:39:55,320
\nMany of us have probably already
\nthought of the answer. <\/p>\n
647
\n00:39:56,000 –> 00:39:59,960
\nIt’s Matthew 11, reading from
\nthe New Revised Standard <\/p>\n
648
\n00:39:59,960 –> 00:40:05,560
\nVersion.
\nCome to me, all you who are <\/p>\n
649
\n00:40:05,560 –> 00:40:09,800
\nweary and carrying heavy
\nburdens. <\/p>\n
650
\n00:40:11,400 –> 00:40:15,280
\nI will give you rest.
\nYou won’t find it on your own. <\/p>\n
651
\n00:40:16,480 –> 00:40:20,760
\nTake my yoke upon you.
\nLearn from me, for I’m gentle <\/p>\n
652
\n00:40:20,760 –> 00:40:24,720
\nand I’m humble in heart.
\nAnd you’ll find rest if you can <\/p>\n
653
\n00:40:24,720 –> 00:40:27,640
\ndo those things.
\nMy yoke’s easy. <\/p>\n
654
\n00:40:27,640 –> 00:40:30,920
\nMy burden’s light.
\nWe know those verses. <\/p>\n
655
\n00:40:30,920 –> 00:40:38,000
\nIt’s a wonderful hymn.
\nIt was a beautiful connection <\/p>\n
656
\n00:40:39,600 –> 00:40:45,760
\nbetween Matthew 11 and Luke.
\nChapter 9 Matthew 11, the Son of<\/p>\n
657
\n00:40:45,760 –> 00:40:48,880
\nMan has nowhere to lay his head.
\nHe tells the first he’s got <\/p>\n
658
\n00:40:48,880 –> 00:40:53,720
\nnowhere to rest.
\nMatthew 11 says take my yoke and<\/p>\n
659
\n00:40:53,720 –> 00:40:57,480
\nyou’ll find rest.
\nThe second says let me first and<\/p>\n
660
\n00:40:57,480 –> 00:41:00,560
\ngo bury my father.
\nMatthew 11 says no one knows the<\/p>\n
661
\n00:41:00,560 –> 00:41:03,360
\nFather except the Son, so, so
\nfollow me and you’ll know the <\/p>\n
662
\n00:41:03,360 –> 00:41:09,600
\nFather.
\nThe third third says, Christ <\/p>\n
663
\n00:41:09,600 –> 00:41:12,920
\nsays, tells him you can’t put
\nyour hand to the plow and look <\/p>\n
664
\n00:41:12,920 –> 00:41:15,280
\nback and find your way to
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
665
\n00:41:16,680 –> 00:41:19,600
\nChrist says my yoke’s easy, my
\nburden’s light. <\/p>\n
666
\n00:41:19,600 –> 00:41:24,960
\nYou want another solution for
\nthose 3 disciples? <\/p>\n
667
\n00:41:26,280 –> 00:41:28,960
\nHe was rely on that man who
\ninvited them to walk. <\/p>\n
668
\n00:41:31,520 –> 00:41:33,720
\nIt was to say I’ll leave
\neverything. <\/p>\n
669
\n00:41:35,160 –> 00:41:41,040
\nThere were 12 disciples who did,
\nwho left their gains and <\/p>\n
670
\n00:41:41,040 –> 00:41:44,000
\nfollowed Christ.
\nAnd guess so far those 12 made <\/p>\n
671
\n00:41:44,000 –> 00:41:51,640
\nit all the way to the Jerusalem.
\nTake my yoke upon you, learn <\/p>\n
672
\n00:41:51,680 –> 00:41:54,040
\nfrom me.
\nWhere’s our application here, <\/p>\n
673
\n00:41:54,040 –> 00:41:59,840
\nbrothers and sisters?
\nThe point isn’t some imaginary <\/p>\n
674
\n00:41:59,840 –> 00:42:02,440
\nthing where we say there’s Jesus
\nyoke. <\/p>\n
675
\n00:42:02,960 –> 00:42:06,920
\nThat’s the light one.
\nIt’s about learning. <\/p>\n
676
\n00:42:07,680 –> 00:42:14,640
\nSo taking this book and saying
\nthis applies to this guy. <\/p>\n
677
\n00:42:16,440 –> 00:42:21,160
\nWhat do you learn from Jesus?
\nHe tells us gentle and humble in<\/p>\n
678
\n00:42:21,160 –> 00:42:25,600
\nheart, Learn from me.
\nWhat do you learn from me? <\/p>\n
679
\n00:42:25,600 –> 00:42:28,160
\nWhat can you learn from me?
\nI’m humble and gentle. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:42:29,000 –> 00:42:32,080
\nWhat can you learn from me?
\nBe gentle, be humble. <\/p>\n
681
\n00:42:33,520 –> 00:42:37,240
\nIf you do those things, you’ll
\nfind rest for your souls. <\/p>\n
682
\n00:42:39,200 –> 00:42:42,640
\nIt’s it’s simple, isn’t it?
\nMatthew 11 lays it out clearly. <\/p>\n
683
\n00:42:44,480 –> 00:42:48,960
\nTake my yoke upon you, he says.
\nTake my yoke upon you. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:42:49,440 –> 00:42:55,240
\nFor what is my yoke?
\nIt’s easy and my burden. <\/p>\n
685
\n00:42:55,640 –> 00:43:03,440
\nIt’s light, he tells Matthew 11.
\nSo this is his solution, but I <\/p>\n
686
\n00:43:03,440 –> 00:43:04,840
\nstill don’t know how it applies
\nto me. <\/p>\n
687
\n00:43:05,880 –> 00:43:08,800
\nThis is these are great verses.
\nI know them. <\/p>\n
688
\n00:43:09,960 –> 00:43:12,200
\nMy yoke is easy and my burden is
\nlight. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:43:12,800 –> 00:43:17,680
\nBrothers and sisters, we’ve
\nlooked at what Christ needed to <\/p>\n
690
\n00:43:17,680 –> 00:43:24,840
\nget through to get to Jerusalem.
\nOn what planet was that an easy <\/p>\n
691
\n00:43:24,840 –> 00:43:28,240
\nyoke?
\nIn what world was that burden <\/p>\n
692
\n00:43:28,240 –> 00:43:33,360
\nlight?
\nDeath awaited Jesus in that <\/p>\n
693
\n00:43:33,360 –> 00:43:40,160
\ncity, but because death awaited
\nhim there, life awaits everyone <\/p>\n
694
\n00:43:40,160 –> 00:43:43,720
\nelse.
\nHow light is that burden, <\/p>\n
695
\n00:43:44,400 –> 00:43:48,960
\nknowing that because that man
\ngot there, you can live forever <\/p>\n
696
\n00:43:50,040 –> 00:43:55,200
\nin service to the Father.
\nLife awaits all those who follow<\/p>\n
697
\n00:43:55,200 –> 00:43:57,640
\nHim.
\nThe invitation is open in Luke <\/p>\n
698
\n00:43:57,640 –> 00:43:59,800
\n923.
\nIf anyone come after me, deny <\/p>\n
699
\n00:43:59,800 –> 00:44:02,120
\nyourself.
\nTake it across every single day.<\/p>\n
700
\n00:44:02,360 –> 00:44:06,960
\nFollow me.
\nWe don’t have time to go into <\/p>\n
701
\n00:44:06,960 –> 00:44:11,000
\nit, but a couple of notes may be
\nworth jotting down. <\/p>\n
702
\n00:44:11,680 –> 00:44:15,520
\nLuke 9 pre journey Luke 10 mid
\njourney. <\/p>\n
703
\n00:44:15,880 –> 00:44:19,520
\nHe sends two groups of disciples
\nout to proclaim the Kingdom of <\/p>\n
704
\n00:44:19,520 –> 00:44:22,360
\nGod.
\nDoes anybody remember the <\/p>\n
705
\n00:44:22,360 –> 00:44:27,240
\ninstructions he gives to the 12
\nand to the 70 slash 72? <\/p>\n
706
\n00:44:28,520 –> 00:44:33,440
\nHe says take what with you?
\nNothing with you, he tells them.<\/p>\n
707
\n00:44:34,160 –> 00:44:36,320
\nDon’t take money.
\nDon’t take a purse, don’t take <\/p>\n
708
\n00:44:36,320 –> 00:44:39,800
\nshoes.
\nWhat would you take with you? <\/p>\n
709
\n00:44:40,640 –> 00:44:44,760
\nWhat’s the one thing he told
\neveryone to take with them? <\/p>\n
710
\n00:44:47,280 –> 00:44:52,560
\nMr. Cross?
\nNothing else can weigh you down.<\/p>\n
711
\n00:44:53,520 –> 00:44:54,960
\nMoney.
\nIt’ll weigh you down. <\/p>\n
712
\n00:44:56,160 –> 00:45:02,160
\nAll those things don’t help.
\nProclaim the Kingdom of God, the<\/p>\n
713
\n00:45:02,160 –> 00:45:06,800
\nbrothers and sisters.
\nWhy carry a cross? <\/p>\n
714
\n00:45:08,160 –> 00:45:10,920
\nWhy not?
\nWhy didn’t Jesus open the <\/p>\n
715
\n00:45:10,920 –> 00:45:19,440
\ninvitation and say, carry your
\nburdens, pick up your yoke and <\/p>\n
716
\n00:45:19,440 –> 00:45:22,960
\nfollow me.
\nWhy carry a cross? <\/p>\n
717
\n00:45:24,960 –> 00:45:30,960
\nColossians in the ESV says
\nhaving been buried with him in <\/p>\n
718
\n00:45:30,960 –> 00:45:36,360
\nbaptism, in which you were also
\nraised with him through faith in<\/p>\n
719
\n00:45:36,360 –> 00:45:40,080
\nthe powerful working of God, who
\nraised him from the dead, and <\/p>\n
720
\n00:45:40,080 –> 00:45:43,200
\nyou who were dead in your
\ntrespasses and the <\/p>\n
721
\n00:45:43,240 –> 00:45:47,120
\nuncircumcision of your flesh,
\nGod made alive together with <\/p>\n
722
\n00:45:47,120 –> 00:45:54,760
\nHim, having forgiven us all our
\ntrespasses by canceling the <\/p>\n
723
\n00:45:54,760 –> 00:45:59,440
\nrecord of debt that stood
\nagainst us with its legal <\/p>\n
724
\n00:45:59,440 –> 00:46:06,280
\ndemands.
\nThese things he set aside, <\/p>\n
725
\n00:46:07,280 –> 00:46:11,000
\nnailing them to the cross.
\nWhy do you carry a cross? <\/p>\n
726
\n00:46:13,560 –> 00:46:16,000
\nWe go from having this major
\nstruggle. <\/p>\n
727
\n00:46:16,840 –> 00:46:20,480
\nWe’re carrying a cross, and you
\nbetter believe it. <\/p>\n
728
\n00:46:21,360 –> 00:46:27,880
\nWe can feel it.
\nWe didn’t go to this no <\/p>\n
729
\n00:46:27,880 –> 00:46:32,920
\nstruggle.
\nGo, we can’t do this anymore. <\/p>\n
730
\n00:46:33,960 –> 00:46:39,720
\nWe put it down, we take a seat.
\nWe say, what are we going to do?<\/p>\n
731
\n00:46:40,400 –> 00:46:41,960
\nAnd God says you have two
\nchoices. <\/p>\n
732
\n00:46:43,280 –> 00:46:45,000
\nYou pick it up and you follow me
\nto Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
733
\n00:46:45,360 –> 00:46:46,960
\nYou take my bird and you take my
\nyoke. <\/p>\n
734
\n00:46:47,920 –> 00:46:51,760
\nThey’re light and they’re easy.
\nYou learn of me or you give it <\/p>\n
735
\n00:46:51,760 –> 00:46:55,080
\nup entirely.
\nBecause what he wants, brothers <\/p>\n
736
\n00:46:55,080 –> 00:47:00,360
\nand sisters, is for us to
\nrealize there doesn’t have to be<\/p>\n
737
\n00:47:00,360 –> 00:47:04,480
\nany struggle at all.
\nThat’s where he wants us to get.<\/p>\n
738
\n00:47:05,640 –> 00:47:09,840
\nSo why do you carry a cross?
\nCan anybody here tell me what is<\/p>\n
739
\n00:47:09,840 –> 00:47:15,680
\na cross used for?
\nIt’s not a trick question. <\/p>\n
740
\n00:47:17,080 –> 00:47:21,200
\nExecution, murder, killing,
\nputting to death. <\/p>\n
741
\n00:47:22,360 –> 00:47:26,840
\nWhy do you carry a cross?
\nWhat did Paul tell the <\/p>\n
742
\n00:47:26,840 –> 00:47:30,760
\nColossians?
\nHe nailed all those things to <\/p>\n
743
\n00:47:30,760 –> 00:47:33,000
\nthe cross.
\nWhat do you do with your sins? <\/p>\n
744
\n00:47:33,480 –> 00:47:36,920
\nYou wake up and you go.
\nI just can’t take it anymore. <\/p>\n
745
\n00:47:37,160 –> 00:47:39,720
\nI’m struggling with this.
\nThis is too hard. <\/p>\n
746
\n00:47:40,200 –> 00:47:42,040
\nGuess what you’re always
\ncarrying with you. <\/p>\n
747
\n00:47:42,480 –> 00:47:44,480
\nYou take that cross, you put it
\nthere. <\/p>\n
748
\n00:47:44,560 –> 00:47:46,960
\nYou take your problem and you
\nslam it into the cross. <\/p>\n
749
\n00:47:47,080 –> 00:47:48,600
\nIt’s dead.
\nIt’s gone. <\/p>\n
750
\n00:47:49,080 –> 00:47:53,720
\nChrist took it away from you.
\nYou put that cross on, you go to<\/p>\n
751
\n00:47:53,720 –> 00:47:57,520
\nJerusalem.
\nThere’s no struggle at all, <\/p>\n
752
\n00:47:57,520 –> 00:48:00,200
\nbrothers and sisters, if you can
\nput to death the flesh. <\/p>\n
753
\n00:48:01,120 –> 00:48:05,840
\nHe’s told us to carry the tool
\nwith us everywhere we go, all <\/p>\n
754
\n00:48:05,840 –> 00:48:12,240
\nthe way to Jerusalem.
\nCome unto me, all you who are <\/p>\n
755
\n00:48:12,240 –> 00:48:16,520
\nheavy laden, I’ll give you rest.
\nHe says. <\/p>\n
756
\n00:48:18,120 –> 00:48:20,600
\nTake my yoke upon you.
\nLearn of me. <\/p>\n
757
\n00:48:22,880 –> 00:48:25,600
\nAnd so, brothers and sisters,
\nwhen we look at the cost <\/p>\n
758
\n00:48:26,640 –> 00:48:32,240
\nassociated with following Jesus,
\nwe see it’s tremendous. <\/p>\n
759
\n00:48:33,400 –> 00:48:39,200
\nThe reward we know is great, but
\ngetting there, it could be <\/p>\n
760
\n00:48:39,200 –> 00:48:42,600
\ntricky.
\nBut brothers and sisters, Christ<\/p>\n
761
\n00:48:42,600 –> 00:48:47,000
\nhas given US1 tool because he
\nmade it to the city. <\/p>\n
762
\n00:48:48,120 –> 00:48:50,640
\nHe’s given US1 tool.
\nWe carry around everywhere we <\/p>\n
763
\n00:48:50,640 –> 00:48:53,240
\ngo.
\nWe can take our sins, we can <\/p>\n
764
\n00:48:53,240 –> 00:48:55,880
\ntake our problems.
\nWe can say, you know what, I <\/p>\n
765
\n00:48:55,880 –> 00:48:57,400
\nhave something I could put this
\nto death with. <\/p>\n
766
\n00:48:58,600 –> 00:49:04,200
\nWe nail it to the cross.
\nSo what I’d like to end with as <\/p>\n
767
\n00:49:04,200 –> 00:49:07,280
\nwe wrap up here, Sorry, I’m a
\nteacher. <\/p>\n
768
\n00:49:07,520 –> 00:49:10,040
\nThere might be homework if you
\ncan. <\/p>\n
769
\n00:49:11,000 –> 00:49:12,560
\nVery last question on our
\nhandout. <\/p>\n
770
\n00:49:13,200 –> 00:49:17,280
\nFind a verse for strength in
\nyour own time when you’re <\/p>\n
771
\n00:49:17,280 –> 00:49:19,360
\nfeeling overwhelmed with your
\nburdens. <\/p>\n
772
\n00:49:19,360 –> 00:49:23,560
\nMaybe it was a verse from today.
\nWhatever you feel like, that <\/p>\n
773
\n00:49:23,560 –> 00:49:26,920
\nburden is that you bear,
\nwhatever you feel like that that<\/p>\n
774
\n00:49:26,920 –> 00:49:31,240
\ncross that’s just too heavy to
\ncarry around is, I promise you <\/p>\n
775
\n00:49:31,240 –> 00:49:36,040
\nthere’s a verse for it.
\nSo if you guys can see if you <\/p>\n
776
\n00:49:36,040 –> 00:49:38,960
\nguys can find it, see if you
\nguys can just jot it down. <\/p>\n
777
\n00:49:39,720 –> 00:49:41,800
\nTomorrow we’re going to be
\ntaking a look at saving the <\/p>\n
778
\n00:49:41,800 –> 00:49:43,800
\nlost.
\nWe’re looking at another purpose<\/p>\n
779
