2
\n00:00:11,207 –> 00:00:15,300
\namong those who have ears to
\nhear and eyes to see as we give <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:15,300 –> 00:00:46,300
\nour attention to really Market.
\nGood morning once again, I’m <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:50,900 –> 00:00:52,200
\nstill awake.
\nNice. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:54,700 –> 00:01:00,500
\nWe started on two mountains.
\nThe Mountain of Fire and Thunder<\/p>\n
6
\n00:01:00,500 –> 00:01:04,300
\nand the mountain of the
\nrighteous men made perfect. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:01:05,099 –> 00:01:10,500
\nAnd we discovered that keeping
\nthe law does not guarantee <\/p>\n
8
\n00:01:10,900 –> 00:01:13,800
\nrighteousness.
\nYou can keep the law and not be <\/p>\n
9
\n00:01:13,800 –> 00:01:18,000
\nrighteous.
\nYou discovered you can love and <\/p>\n
10
\n00:01:18,000 –> 00:01:22,700
\nnot necessarily be righteous.
\nYou can be charitable and not <\/p>\n
11
\n00:01:22,700 –> 00:01:26,500
\nnecessarily be righteous.
\nYou can be prayerful and not <\/p>\n
12
\n00:01:26,500 –> 00:01:30,000
\nnecessarily be righteous.
\nYou can be full of <\/p>\n
13
\n00:01:30,000 –> 00:01:36,200
\nself-sacrifice and not
\nnecessarily be righteous And we <\/p>\n
14
\n00:01:36,200 –> 00:01:40,700
\nsaid at the start that if we
\napproached, Jesus words with new<\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:40,700 –> 00:01:44,400
\neyes that he’s going to surprise
\nus and he’s going to challenge <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:44,400 –> 00:01:48,000
\nus and then he’s going to crush
\nus if we let him. <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:50,900 –> 00:01:52,700
\nWhat does it mean to be
\nrighteous? <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:53,400 –> 00:01:57,500
\nIt’s just really hard to tell.
\nSometimes it seems so obvious <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:57,500 –> 00:02:00,600
\nwhat righteousness is but the
\ncloser you look, the more it <\/p>\n
20
\n00:02:00,600 –> 00:02:07,900
\nseems to sort of flee from you.
\nAnd then Jesus says, Matthew 7 <\/p>\n
21
\n00:02:07,900 –> 00:02:17,500
\nverse 1, judge, not I have to
\ntell you that I believe this is <\/p>\n
22
\n00:02:17,500 –> 00:02:23,100
\nimpossible.
\nWe’re constantly judging, why <\/p>\n
23
\n00:02:23,100 –> 00:02:25,700
\ndoes Jesus come and give us an
\nimpossible commandment? <\/p>\n
24
\n00:02:25,700 –> 00:02:28,700
\nWell, you’ve been here all week.
\nJesus has been giving us <\/p>\n
25
\n00:02:28,700 –> 00:02:32,500
\nimpossible, commandment after
\nimpossible, commandment after <\/p>\n
26
\n00:02:32,500 –> 00:02:35,900
\nimpossible, commandment, he’s
\ngiving us another impossible to <\/p>\n
27
\n00:02:35,908 –> 00:02:43,300
\nNim.
\nJesus is giving us this message <\/p>\n
28
\n00:02:43,600 –> 00:02:49,300
\nfor, it’s crushing power.
\nBut the thing that needs to be <\/p>\n
29
\n00:02:49,300 –> 00:02:53,500
\ncrushed with this message is
\nourselves. <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:55,200 –> 00:02:59,700
\nAnd this tremendous tool that
\nhas been giving us in this <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:59,700 –> 00:03:03,300
\nchapter can also be a tremendous
\nweapon. <\/p>\n
32
\n00:03:04,600 –> 00:03:09,800
\nAnd we weaponize it by shifting
\nit off of ourselves and applying<\/p>\n
33
\n00:03:09,800 –> 00:03:13,900
\nit to the people around us.
\nBecause they will not be able to<\/p>\n
34
\n00:03:13,900 –> 00:03:15,700
\nwithstand it anymore than you
\nwill. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:03:16,700 –> 00:03:21,400
\nYou will find flaws in their
\nobedience, you will find flaws <\/p>\n
36
\n00:03:21,400 –> 00:03:23,900
\nin their charity.
\nYou will find flaws in their <\/p>\n
37
\n00:03:23,900 –> 00:03:27,500
\nprayer.
\nFlaws in their love, nobody can <\/p>\n
38
\n00:03:27,500 –> 00:03:35,300
\nwithstand this pressure.
\nJudge not. <\/p>\n
39
\n00:03:35,300 –> 00:03:37,700
\nAnd a lot of people stop right
\nthere and they’re like that’s <\/p>\n
40
\n00:03:37,700 –> 00:03:39,700
\nit.
\nWe’re not judging anymore ever <\/p>\n
41
\n00:03:39,700 –> 00:03:42,900
\nagain and ironically this is a
\nform of legalism, right? <\/p>\n
42
\n00:03:42,900 –> 00:03:45,700
\nLike noro know, there’s a rule.
\nThe rule says you don’t judge <\/p>\n
43
\n00:03:45,700 –> 00:03:50,500
\nand therefore it’s all good.
\nDoesn’t work that way, right? <\/p>\n
44
\n00:03:52,100 –> 00:03:55,400
\nYou know, you can’t make an
\nagreement with an evil person <\/p>\n
45
\n00:03:55,400 –> 00:03:58,100
\nand say, well, you don’t judge
\nme and I won’t judge you. <\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:58,100 –> 00:04:00,700
\nAnd then, you know, judge, not
\nthat you be not judged and we <\/p>\n
47
\n00:04:00,700 –> 00:04:02,800
\nboth get a get-out-of-jail-free
\ncard. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:04:03,300 –> 00:04:05,500
\nNo, that’s that’s not, that’s
\nnot what he means. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:04:07,100 –> 00:04:10,500
\nSo what does he mean, right?
\nWhy does he come with this bold <\/p>\n
50
\n00:04:10,500 –> 00:04:13,800
\nstatement?
\nWell, like we said before, you <\/p>\n
51
\n00:04:13,800 –> 00:04:19,800
\nhave a bias, you have a tendency
\nto make her wrong choice and <\/p>\n
52
\n00:04:19,800 –> 00:04:22,600
\nhe’s trying to smack you out of
\nthat bias. <\/p>\n
53
\n00:04:22,600 –> 00:04:25,400
\nShe’s trying to wake you up,
\nhe’s giving you an extreme <\/p>\n
54
\n00:04:25,400 –> 00:04:28,000
\nstatement.
\nIt says you have an instinct to <\/p>\n
55
\n00:04:28,000 –> 00:04:33,100
\njudge and before you act in any
\nway on that instinct, first <\/p>\n
56
\n00:04:33,100 –> 00:04:36,400
\nconsider the possibility that
\nmaybe you shouldn’t even judge. <\/p>\n
57
\n00:04:36,900 –> 00:04:38,300
\nMaybe you don’t have to go
\nthere. <\/p>\n
58
\n00:04:42,500 –> 00:04:46,300
\nBut it’s not here as a tool to
\ndeflect personal criticism. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:04:47,700 –> 00:04:51,100
\nIf somebody comes up to you and
\nsays, you know, I think you’re <\/p>\n
60
\n00:04:51,100 –> 00:04:55,600
\noverbearing.
\nYou don’t go to Matthew 7 verse <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:55,600 –> 00:05:01,200
\n1 and say judge not right to
\nshave Shield can never criticize<\/p>\n
62
\n00:05:01,200 –> 00:05:03,600
\nme because I can counter
\ncriticize you with judge. <\/p>\n
63
\n00:05:03,600 –> 00:05:06,500
\nNot and and know that.
\nThat’s not why it’s here. <\/p>\n
64
\n00:05:10,000 –> 00:05:13,400
\nOr in the way you judge, you
\nwill be judged. <\/p>\n
65
\n00:05:14,400 –> 00:05:17,200
\nAnd by your standard of measure,
\nit will be measured to you. <\/p>\n
66
\n00:05:18,800 –> 00:05:23,500
\nThere’s an interesting question
\nin the way you judge, you will <\/p>\n
67
\n00:05:23,500 –> 00:05:26,500
\nbe judged.
\nNow, who, who is doing the other<\/p>\n
68
\n00:05:26,500 –> 00:05:29,200
\njudging in this verse?
\nI can’t dive sleep-wake. <\/p>\n
69
\n00:05:29,200 –> 00:05:33,900
\nTell is this sort of like
\nProverbs saying you know if you <\/p>\n
70
\n00:05:33,900 –> 00:05:36,800
\nbehave in a certain way, other
\npeople will behave this way <\/p>\n
71
\n00:05:36,800 –> 00:05:40,100
\ntowards you, be aware of that if
\nyou walk around life being <\/p>\n
72
\n00:05:40,100 –> 00:05:44,200
\njudgmental and then you fall in
\na pit, don’t expect everybody to<\/p>\n
73
\n00:05:44,200 –> 00:05:48,300
\nbe really sympathetic, right?
\nIt could be that. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:05:48,700 –> 00:05:51,600
\nBut we also know in Scripture
\nthat in the case of forgiveness,<\/p>\n
75
\n00:05:51,600 –> 00:05:55,700
\nfor instance, that God makes it
\nquite clear that if you go <\/p>\n
76
\n00:05:55,700 –> 00:06:00,600
\naround, not forgiving people.
\nDon’t turn to God later and say,<\/p>\n
77
\n00:06:00,600 –> 00:06:02,200
\noh yeah, I want you to forgive
\nme. <\/p>\n
78
\n00:06:03,400 –> 00:06:06,400
\nSo there is a Divine element to
\nthis. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:06:10,200 –> 00:06:13,200
\nWhen we talk about the mercy
\njournals, this is day one or day<\/p>\n
80
\n00:06:13,200 –> 00:06:17,200
\ntwo, right?
\nThe amount of Mercy that you’re <\/p>\n
81
\n00:06:17,200 –> 00:06:20,600
\nlikely to extend to other people
\nappears to be directly <\/p>\n
82
\n00:06:20,600 –> 00:06:23,600
\ncorrelated to how long since
\nyou’ve made a big mistake. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:06:24,000 –> 00:06:27,600
\nHow long since you have
\nrecognized your insufficiency, <\/p>\n
84
\n00:06:28,100 –> 00:06:31,900
\none of the goals of these
\nchapters is to try to get you to<\/p>\n
85
\n00:06:31,900 –> 00:06:36,400
\nwalk around every day, feeling
\nyour own insufficiency. <\/p>\n
86
\n00:06:37,100 –> 00:06:41,300
\nBeing your own inadequacy and
\nwhat this will do for you is it <\/p>\n
87
\n00:06:41,300 –> 00:06:45,100
\nwill make you more humble, it
\nwill make you more patient. <\/p>\n
88
\n00:06:45,100 –> 00:06:47,700
\nIt will make you more grateful
\nto God. <\/p>\n
89
\n00:06:48,200 –> 00:06:52,000
\nFor the love that he has
\nexpended you in accepting you in<\/p>\n
90
\n00:06:52,000 –> 00:06:54,400
\nspite of all the ways in which
\nyou fail. <\/p>\n
91
\n00:06:57,400 –> 00:07:00,100
\nWhy do you look at the speck?
\nThat is in your brother’s eye. <\/p>\n
92
\n00:07:00,400 –> 00:07:03,700
\nBut do not notice the law that
\nis in your own eye. <\/p>\n
93
\n00:07:05,300 –> 00:07:09,400
\nWhen they do surveys that people
\nto itemize their strengths and <\/p>\n
94
\n00:07:09,400 –> 00:07:12,800
\nweaknesses, okay?
\nSo if we send out a survey say <\/p>\n
95
\n00:07:12,800 –> 00:07:14,500
\nwhat’s your greatest strength
\nand what’s your greatest <\/p>\n
96
\n00:07:14,500 –> 00:07:18,100
\nweakness and then they send out
\nanother survey and they asked <\/p>\n
97
\n00:07:18,100 –> 00:07:22,300
\nother people to evaluate you on
\nthe same question, okay? <\/p>\n
98
\n00:07:23,000 –> 00:07:28,600
\nNow you may agree but if you say
\nI have this strength Other <\/p>\n
99
\n00:07:28,600 –> 00:07:30,900
\npeople around.
\nYou will say, you have this <\/p>\n
100
\n00:07:30,900 –> 00:07:35,800
\nstrength and if you say I have
\nthis weakness, the people <\/p>\n
101
\n00:07:35,800 –> 00:07:38,400
\naround, you will say, you have
\nthis weakness. <\/p>\n
102
\n00:07:38,700 –> 00:07:42,500
\nOkay?
\nWe are simply unable to perceive<\/p>\n
103
\n00:07:42,500 –> 00:07:44,400
\nthe extent of our own
\nweaknesses. <\/p>\n
104
\n00:07:45,200 –> 00:07:48,900
\nSometimes they call this, the
\nshadow sort of, you know, <\/p>\n
105
\n00:07:48,900 –> 00:07:50,800
\npsychologists will call it the
\nshadow. <\/p>\n
106
\n00:07:50,900 –> 00:07:53,900
\nYou go through life.
\nAnd there’s this thing that <\/p>\n
107
\n00:07:53,900 –> 00:07:58,400
\nfollows you that you can’t see
\nand it has all these side <\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:58,400 –> 00:08:00,400
\neffects in your life.
\nAnd you’re constantly surprised.<\/p>\n
109
\n00:08:00,400 –> 00:08:02,600
\nWhy do people react this way to
\nme, right? <\/p>\n
110
\n00:08:02,600 –> 00:08:05,200
\nLike, oh, why does this happen
\nto me all the time? <\/p>\n
111
\n00:08:05,200 –> 00:08:07,800
\nWhy do I keep getting fired?
\nYou know, just to pick an <\/p>\n
112
\n00:08:07,800 –> 00:08:12,000
\nexample.
\nThat’s very strange and, and, <\/p>\n
113
\n00:08:12,000 –> 00:08:14,900
\nand the people around you are
\nwatching you and your Shadow. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:08:14,900 –> 00:08:21,400
\nAnd they’re like, oh boy.
\nBut depending on who your <\/p>\n
115
\n00:08:21,400 –> 00:08:25,000
\nfriends are, they might not tell
\nyou and depending on who you <\/p>\n
116
\n00:08:25,000 –> 00:08:29,300
\nare, if somebody Rise today, to
\ngive you some subtle information<\/p>\n
117
\n00:08:29,300 –> 00:08:30,900
\nabout this shadow in your like
\njudge. <\/p>\n
118
\n00:08:30,900 –> 00:08:36,900
\nNot I don’t want to hear it.
\nWe block ourselves to the <\/p>\n
119
\n00:08:36,900 –> 00:08:40,299
\ninformation which would most
\nhelp us and we all know it. <\/p>\n
120
\n00:08:40,299 –> 00:08:45,400
\nAnd so we all actually quite
\ncautious about sharing our walls<\/p>\n
121
\n00:08:45,400 –> 00:08:51,000
\nwith each other.
\nThere are serious problems in <\/p>\n
122
\n00:08:51,000 –> 00:08:54,800
\nyour character that you are not
\nfully aware of. <\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:57,600 –> 00:09:00,400
\nDo you really believe that can
\nyou really accept that? <\/p>\n
124
\n00:09:02,300 –> 00:09:05,500
\nDo you really accept that?
\nThere’s actually a plank in your<\/p>\n
125
\n00:09:05,500 –> 00:09:08,600
\neyes, not a plank beside you,
\nright? <\/p>\n
126
\n00:09:08,600 –> 00:09:11,000
\nIt’s not a plank over there and
\nI’ve got it, you know, that it’s<\/p>\n
127
\n00:09:11,000 –> 00:09:13,900
\nin your eye.
\nIt’s affecting your ability to <\/p>\n
128
\n00:09:13,900 –> 00:09:17,700
\nperceive the information, which
\nis a rocket being in your brain <\/p>\n
129
\n00:09:17,700 –> 00:09:20,200
\nis faulty.
\nYou’re not getting the whole <\/p>\n
130
\n00:09:20,200 –> 00:09:22,300
\npicture.
\nIs what Jesus is telling you <\/p>\n
131
\n00:09:22,300 –> 00:09:25,700
\nhere, you don’t have the full
\npicture. <\/p>\n
132
\n00:09:30,300 –> 00:09:33,000
\nHow can you say to your brother?
\nLet me take the speck out of <\/p>\n
133
\n00:09:33,000 –> 00:09:36,200
\nyour eye and behold.
\nThe log is in your own eye. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:09:38,300 –> 00:09:45,400
\nIf you can’t see properly, what
\nmakes you qualified to nitpick <\/p>\n
135
\n00:09:45,800 –> 00:09:49,600
\nat other people, you can’t see,
\nright? <\/p>\n
136
\n00:09:50,700 –> 00:09:54,100
\nWhat do you want a surgeon with
\npoor eyesight doing brain? <\/p>\n
137
\n00:09:54,100 –> 00:10:05,000
\nSurgery on, you know, right.
\nYou Toronto me, 19 515 by the <\/p>\n
138
\n00:10:05,000 –> 00:10:09,200
\nmouth of two or three witnesses
\nthat the matter shall be <\/p>\n
139
\n00:10:09,200 –> 00:10:14,300
\nestablished.
\nI really want you to internalize<\/p>\n
140
\n00:10:14,300 –> 00:10:19,000
\nthis.
\nYour individual opinion on what <\/p>\n
141
\n00:10:19,000 –> 00:10:23,100
\nhappened or what was wrong is
\nnot good enough. <\/p>\n
142
\n00:10:24,100 –> 00:10:27,200
\nUnder no circumstance, is your
\nopinion. <\/p>\n
143
\n00:10:27,200 –> 00:10:31,400
\nGood enough.
\nBut under the law of Moses, no <\/p>\n
144
\n00:10:31,400 –> 00:10:35,500
\nimportant decision or fact can
\nbe established by one person. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:10:37,000 –> 00:10:40,000
\nYou need two witnesses.
\nAt least to you. <\/p>\n
146
\n00:10:40,000 –> 00:10:43,300
\nAt least need a second.
\nPlease go for a third. <\/p>\n
147
\n00:10:43,300 –> 00:10:47,000
\nIf you can Matthew 18, they just
\nsay, keep making the pool bigger<\/p>\n
148
\n00:10:47,000 –> 00:10:51,300
\nand bigger, the more serious.
\nThe thing is because you can’t <\/p>\n
149
\n00:10:51,300 –> 00:10:55,800
\nbe trusted, you cannot be
\ntrusted with serious decisions. <\/p>\n
150
\n00:10:57,700 –> 00:11:02,200
\nDo you believe that you don’t, I
\ndon’t have trouble believing <\/p>\n
151
\n00:11:02,200 –> 00:11:04,200
\nthem.
\nLike I know what I saw, I <\/p>\n
152
\n00:11:04,200 –> 00:11:07,300
\nunderst like our instinct is
\nbetraying us. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:11:08,500 –> 00:11:13,400
\nWe think we’re trustworthy or
\nnot, we absolutely need each <\/p>\n
154
\n00:11:13,400 –> 00:11:15,400
\nother.
\nWe need two or three Witnesses <\/p>\n
155
\n00:11:15,400 –> 00:11:21,900
\nfor every important decision.
\nFirst five, you hypocrite first,<\/p>\n
156
\n00:11:21,900 –> 00:11:26,100
\ntake the log out of your own eye
\nand then you will see clearly to<\/p>\n
157
\n00:11:26,100 –> 00:11:27,900
\ntake the speck out of your
\nbrother’s eye. <\/p>\n
158
\n00:11:28,100 –> 00:11:30,500
\nYou hypocrite.
\nWhy does he use the word <\/p>\n
159
\n00:11:30,500 –> 00:11:32,500
\nhypocrite here?
\nWhat does it mean to be a <\/p>\n
160
\n00:11:32,508 –> 00:11:37,200
\nhypocrite?
\nIt’s not a rhetorical question. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:11:37,200 –> 00:11:39,500
\nI am actually inviting the
\naudience participation. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:11:40,100 –> 00:11:41,700
\nWhat is the meaning of
\nhypocrite? <\/p>\n
163
\n00:11:41,800 –> 00:11:52,900
\nHe’s two-faced not necessarily,
\nbut the root is actually in the <\/p>\n
164
\n00:11:52,900 –> 00:11:55,700
\nactor, right?
\nSo, in order for there to be <\/p>\n
165
\n00:11:55,700 –> 00:12:00,600
\nhypocrisy, there’s some kind of
\npretending going on some kind of<\/p>\n
166
\n00:12:00,600 –> 00:12:07,400
\npretending now, How is verse 5?
\nPretending you hypocrite? <\/p>\n
167
\n00:12:07,500 –> 00:12:10,900
\nOkay, first, take the log out of
\nyour own eye and then you will <\/p>\n
168
\n00:12:10,900 –> 00:12:12,800
\nsee clearly to take the speck
\nout of your brother’s eye. <\/p>\n
169
\n00:12:12,808 –> 00:12:15,900
\nThat just looks like a nice.
\nHow is that relate to <\/p>\n
170
\n00:12:15,900 –> 00:12:18,000
\nhypocrisies?
\nWhere does that look hypocrisies<\/p>\n
171
\n00:12:18,000 –> 00:12:28,500
\ncome in?
\nI think that you’re qualified <\/p>\n
172
\n00:12:28,600 –> 00:12:30,700
\nrunning.
\nIf you’re pretending, if you’re <\/p>\n
173
\n00:12:30,700 –> 00:12:36,600
\ngoing around saying I am an eye
\nsurgeon, let me take the speck <\/p>\n
174
\n00:12:36,600 –> 00:12:39,400
\nsort of all your eyes.
\nIt’s pretending. <\/p>\n
175
\n00:12:39,400 –> 00:12:41,900
\nIt’s play-acting.
\nYou are not an eye surgeon. <\/p>\n
176
\n00:12:41,900 –> 00:12:44,300
\nYou’re somebody walking around
\nwith a big beam in your eye, <\/p>\n
177
\n00:12:44,500 –> 00:12:46,300
\nright?
\nIt’s an act. <\/p>\n
178
\n00:12:46,300 –> 00:12:49,600
\nIt’s a charade and most other
\npeople can see through it. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:12:53,700 –> 00:12:56,100
\nThis is one of these things.
\nIt’s very it’s another one of <\/p>\n
180
\n00:12:56,100 –> 00:13:00,800
\nthese shocking principles very
\nhard to live first. <\/p>\n
181
\n00:13:02,100 –> 00:13:03,700
\nRemove the plank from your own
\neye. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:13:03,800 –> 00:13:07,700
\nFirst, if you’re going to
\nprioritize here here is my <\/p>\n
183
\n00:13:07,700 –> 00:13:09,900
\nspiritual life for the next
\nyear. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:13:10,500 –> 00:13:14,400
\nHere are my objectives first
\nfirst first, before you before <\/p>\n
185
\n00:13:14,400 –> 00:13:18,800
\nyou start going out there and
\nfixing other people first. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:13:19,800 –> 00:13:22,600
\nJesus says, can we really do
\nthis? <\/p>\n
187
\n00:13:22,900 –> 00:13:25,400
\nIt’s, this is another one of
\nthese practically impossible <\/p>\n
188
\n00:13:25,400 –> 00:13:28,800
\nthings to do.
\nBut every time you find yourself<\/p>\n
189
\n00:13:28,900 –> 00:13:32,100
\npicking up, the specs of the
\npeople around, you come back to <\/p>\n
190
\n00:13:32,100 –> 00:13:34,800
\nthis verse, can you let Jesus
\nshake you a little bit? <\/p>\n
191
\n00:13:35,300 –> 00:13:37,600
\nFirst, take the log out of your
\nown eye. <\/p>\n
192
\n00:13:40,200 –> 00:13:45,100
\nAnd there’s some question about
\nexactly how all the rest of the <\/p>\n
193
\n00:13:45,100 –> 00:13:47,300
\nelements of this chapter fit
\ntogether. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:13:48,300 –> 00:13:51,600
\nAnd what I’m going to choose to
\ndo for the purpose of this <\/p>\n
195
\n00:13:51,600 –> 00:13:55,800
\npresentation is to suggest to
\nyou that everything else in this<\/p>\n
196
\n00:13:55,800 –> 00:13:59,000
\nchapter has to do with this
\nconcept. <\/p>\n
197
\n00:13:59,700 –> 00:14:02,900
\nFirst, take the plank out of
\nyour own eye. <\/p>\n
198
\n00:14:03,400 –> 00:14:06,100
\nHow do we go about doing that?
\nWhat are the mechanisms? <\/p>\n
199
\n00:14:06,100 –> 00:14:07,700
\nWhat are the pros and cons
\nexploit? <\/p>\n
200
\n00:14:07,900 –> 00:14:12,500
\nOn both sides of the equation.
\nHow do we handle interpersonal, <\/p>\n
201
\n00:14:12,600 –> 00:14:17,600
\ncorrection right before you say,
\nlet me, you know, before you say<\/p>\n
202
\n00:14:17,600 –> 00:14:19,700
\nto someone else, let me take the
\nspeck out of your eye. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:14:19,800 –> 00:14:22,100
\nWhat are the prerequisites that
\nare involved? <\/p>\n
204
\n00:14:26,000 –> 00:14:28,300
\nDo not give what is Holy to
\ndogs? <\/p>\n
205
\n00:14:29,400 –> 00:14:32,600
\nAnd do not throw your Pearls
\nBefore Swine, or they will <\/p>\n
206
\n00:14:32,600 –> 00:14:35,600
\ntrample them under their feet
\nand turn and tear you to pieces.<\/p>\n
207
\n00:14:37,200 –> 00:14:39,900
\nI struggle with this person for
\na long time because I’d never <\/p>\n
208
\n00:14:39,900 –> 00:14:42,000
\nthought of pigs Tearing Me To
\nPieces. <\/p>\n
209
\n00:14:42,700 –> 00:14:45,200
\nThat’s a really awesome thing,
\nright? <\/p>\n
210
\n00:14:45,700 –> 00:14:49,100
\nAnd it turns out, I finally read
\nsomewhere that this is actually <\/p>\n
211
\n00:14:49,100 –> 00:14:51,500
\na chiasm.
\nHave you guys heard about chiasm<\/p>\n
212
\n00:14:51,500 –> 00:14:55,200
\n‘s and introverted parallelisms?
\nOkay, they’re all trendy now. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:14:55,200 –> 00:14:58,200
\nSo I won’t spend a lot of time,
\nbut the point is that they’re <\/p>\n
214
\n00:14:58,200 –> 00:15:01,400
\nbookends Around each other and
\nthe thing at the end actually <\/p>\n
215
\n00:15:01,400 –> 00:15:04,100
\nrelates to the thing at the
\nbeginning rather than the thing <\/p>\n
216
\n00:15:04,100 –> 00:15:08,100
\nimmediately before it, which is
\nhow we usually organized thought<\/p>\n
217
\n00:15:08,400 –> 00:15:11,500
\nin our case.
\nSo, in this case, the, the <\/p>\n
218
\n00:15:11,500 –> 00:15:14,500
\ncarrying you to pieces is
\nactually the dog, not the big, <\/p>\n
219
\n00:15:14,500 –> 00:15:18,100
\nthe pig trampled, you and the
\ndog tears you to pieces. <\/p>\n
220
\n00:15:18,100 –> 00:15:22,300
\nAnd then we see this, you’re no
\nman can serve two masters, you <\/p>\n
221
\n00:15:22,300 –> 00:15:24,400
\nhate, the one and love, the
\nother be devoted to the one and <\/p>\n
222
\n00:15:24,400 –> 00:15:28,000
\ndespise the other.
\nYou cannot serve, God and money.<\/p>\n
223
\n00:15:28,000 –> 00:15:29,900
\nAnd you will find this.
\nAll over scripture. <\/p>\n
224
\n00:15:29,900 –> 00:15:33,000
\nA once you start to see it, it
\nstarts to pop up all over the <\/p>\n
225
\n00:15:33,000 –> 00:15:36,300
\nplace.
\nBut what does this mean in the <\/p>\n
226
\n00:15:36,300 –> 00:15:40,700
\ncontext of specs and planks,
\nright? <\/p>\n
227
\n00:15:41,300 –> 00:15:45,700
\nNormally I’ve heard this verse
\nused in the context of preaching<\/p>\n
228
\n00:15:45,700 –> 00:15:50,300
\nto people and IQ don’t go into
\nthat this go as or disco, know <\/p>\n
229
\n00:15:50,300 –> 00:15:53,100
\nthat nightclub, I guess they
\ncall them nowadays and and start<\/p>\n
230
\n00:15:53,100 –> 00:15:54,800
\ntrying to preach there.
\nReally, you don’t throw your <\/p>\n
231
\n00:15:54,800 –> 00:15:57,900
\nPearls Before Swine, that’s not
\nthe right place and and that, <\/p>\n
232
\n00:15:57,900 –> 00:16:04,400
\nthat may be true. but in the
\ncontext of specks and planks, I <\/p>\n
233
\n00:16:04,400 –> 00:16:08,700
\npropose to you that Jesus is
\nasking you to consider whether <\/p>\n
234
\n00:16:08,700 –> 00:16:11,900
\npeople launcher help or not,
\nwhen you’re walking around with <\/p>\n
235
\n00:16:11,900 –> 00:16:16,200
\nthat blank in your eye, are they
\nlooking for you to help them <\/p>\n
236
\n00:16:16,200 –> 00:16:19,300
\nwith their respects?
\nLike if you go into an occlusal <\/p>\n
237
\n00:16:19,300 –> 00:16:23,700
\nsituation and started trying to
\ncorrect everybody else, yeah <\/p>\n
238
\n00:16:23,700 –> 00:16:27,200
\nthat you may cause a whole lot
\nof problems there and you may <\/p>\n
239
\n00:16:27,200 –> 00:16:30,600
\nwant to consider first whether
\nit’s the appropriate time like <\/p>\n
240
\n00:16:30,700 –> 00:16:32,700
\nthere’s an appropriate time and
\nplace. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:16:33,200 –> 00:16:41,000
\nFor each kind of behavior.
\nSo Jesus used the word beware <\/p>\n
242
\n00:16:41,000 –> 00:16:46,700
\nearlier and I proposed that we
\nshould beware of judging, always<\/p>\n
243
\n00:16:47,600 –> 00:16:50,400
\nwe presume more Mercy than we
\ngive. <\/p>\n
244
\n00:16:51,000 –> 00:16:54,000
\nOK, we expect others to be more
\nmerciful towards us. <\/p>\n
245
\n00:16:54,000 –> 00:16:56,300
\nThat we are inclined to be
\nmerciful towards them. <\/p>\n
246
\n00:16:56,800 –> 00:16:59,700
\nWe underestimate the magnitude
\nof our flaws. <\/p>\n
247
\n00:16:59,700 –> 00:17:01,900
\nWe can’t help it.
\nIt’s the way our brain works. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:17:03,300 –> 00:17:07,200
\nWe underestimate how we’re flaws
\ninhibit our judgment. <\/p>\n
249
\n00:17:08,300 –> 00:17:14,599
\nWe Get that our flaws, our
\nperception laws, what you saw <\/p>\n
250
\n00:17:14,599 –> 00:17:18,500
\nwith your own eyes, there’s not
\nactually what happened, okay? <\/p>\n
251
\n00:17:18,700 –> 00:17:22,200
\nLike the police know, this
\nlawyers, know this, if you have <\/p>\n
252
\n00:17:22,200 –> 00:17:25,000
\na crime scene or an accident
\nscene, when you get an <\/p>\n
253
\n00:17:25,000 –> 00:17:28,200
\neyewitness report, the jury
\ngoes. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:17:28,200 –> 00:17:29,400
\nWow.
\nYeah, that’s it. <\/p>\n
255
\n00:17:30,000 –> 00:17:33,800
\nIf people saw it with their own
\neyes completely unreliable, the <\/p>\n
256
\n00:17:33,800 –> 00:17:38,700
\nmost unreliable form of evidence
\nevidence in criminal trials. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:17:38,900 –> 00:17:43,300
\nOwls is an eyewitness report.
\nTurbo like in that moment you <\/p>\n
258
\n00:17:43,300 –> 00:17:47,000
\nlike you think you saw it and
\nsome people go to their grave <\/p>\n
259
\n00:17:47,300 –> 00:17:50,100
\nwith that conviction that what
\nthey saw was true? <\/p>\n
260
\n00:17:50,200 –> 00:17:54,300
\nNo, And this is a great tool by
\nthe way. <\/p>\n
261
\n00:17:54,300 –> 00:17:58,100
\nIn terms of forgiveness, you
\nthink back to what that brother <\/p>\n
262
\n00:17:58,100 –> 00:18:02,500
\nsaid two years ago or what they
\ndid and it still Burns you up <\/p>\n
263
\n00:18:02,500 –> 00:18:04,600
\ninside.
\nThere’s a chance that never <\/p>\n
264
\n00:18:04,600 –> 00:18:09,200
\nhappened and I’m not kidding.
\nThere is a literal chance and <\/p>\n
265
\n00:18:09,200 –> 00:18:13,200
\nthat little story that you play
\nin your head never actually <\/p>\n
266
\n00:18:13,200 –> 00:18:15,400
\nhappened.
\nOkay. <\/p>\n
267
\n00:18:15,400 –> 00:18:19,000
\nEvery time we recall a memory
\nrebuild it and modify it a <\/p>\n
268
\n00:18:19,008 –> 00:18:23,700
\nlittle bit it’s scary but true.
\nThis is tested stuff like they <\/p>\n
269
\n00:18:23,700 –> 00:18:25,600
\ngo out there and they test
\npeople’s memory. <\/p>\n
270
\n00:18:25,700 –> 00:18:28,300
\nYour memory is way worse than
\nyou think it is. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:18:28,900 –> 00:18:32,300
\nSo you know what, let it go
\nright? <\/p>\n
272
\n00:18:32,700 –> 00:18:38,000
\nForgive the past.
\nWe resist fixing ourselves <\/p>\n
273
\n00:18:38,000 –> 00:18:42,600
\nbefore, trying to fix others.
\nWe presume that others want our <\/p>\n
274
\n00:18:42,600 –> 00:18:45,300
\njudgment.
\nI think everybody’s looking for <\/p>\n
275
\n00:18:45,300 –> 00:18:49,100
\nour opinion, but we hardly ever
\nask them for their opinion, <\/p>\n
276
\n00:18:49,800 –> 00:18:51,700
\nright?
\nAnd sometimes they say, well, <\/p>\n
277
\n00:18:51,700 –> 00:18:54,800
\nwait for someone to ask you, for
\nyour opinion, it’s like nobody <\/p>\n
278
\n00:18:54,800 –> 00:18:57,900
\never does.
\nSo I better go just find a way <\/p>\n
279
\n00:18:57,900 –> 00:19:03,600
\nthat injective On the other
\nhand, you know, don’t throw your<\/p>\n
280
\n00:19:03,600 –> 00:19:07,900
\nPearls Before Swine.
\nAre we slime? <\/p>\n
281
\n00:19:09,900 –> 00:19:14,700
\nYou know, we’re so I go if we
\nthrow our opinion and and, and <\/p>\n
282
\n00:19:14,700 –> 00:19:17,900
\nare we try to help people with
\ntheir specs and they react. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:19:17,900 –> 00:19:22,400
\nSo negatively, how do you react
\nwhen people bring things to your<\/p>\n
284
\n00:19:22,400 –> 00:19:26,900
\nattention, you turn on them and
\ntrample them, you tear them to <\/p>\n
285
\n00:19:26,900 –> 00:19:29,500
\npieces.
\nIf they happen to point out that<\/p>\n
286
\n00:19:29,500 –> 00:19:32,400
\nmaybe there’s something you need
\nto work on in your life. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:19:33,600 –> 00:19:38,900
\nWe need to work both sides of
\nthis Olympic athletes. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:19:39,300 –> 00:19:45,300
\nPaid big money to hire somebody
\nto sit there and watch them and <\/p>\n
289
\n00:19:45,300 –> 00:19:49,900
\npoint out every flaw in what
\nthey do is bizarre, right? <\/p>\n
290
\n00:19:50,600 –> 00:19:53,900
\nWe can get that for free by just
\ncoming in meeting on some <\/p>\n
291
\n00:19:53,900 –> 00:19:59,700
\nimportant but we don’t write
\nwhen it happens. <\/p>\n
292
\n00:19:59,700 –> 00:20:03,200
\nWe’re like whoa back off right,
\njudge not who are you? <\/p>\n
293
\n00:20:03,500 –> 00:20:06,700
\nI can I can find a lot of flaws
\nin your eyes too, right? <\/p>\n
294
\n00:20:07,200 –> 00:20:12,600
\nIt’s bizarre.
\nJudge not I mean, it’s an <\/p>\n
295
\n00:20:12,600 –> 00:20:16,500
\nattention getter.
\nIt’s there to set the bias but <\/p>\n
296
\n00:20:16,500 –> 00:20:19,400
\nwe know and, you know, and
\nyou’re arguing with me in your <\/p>\n
297
\n00:20:19,400 –> 00:20:23,800
\nhead that you can’t just judge,
\nnot like there has to be <\/p>\n
298
\n00:20:23,900 –> 00:20:28,900
\ncircumstances where we judge.
\nAnd so we have to face this <\/p>\n
299
\n00:20:28,900 –> 00:20:31,400
\ndifficult question, right?
\nDo we judge your? <\/p>\n
300
\n00:20:31,400 –> 00:20:34,900
\nDo we not judge or better?
\nSaid, when do we judge? <\/p>\n
301
\n00:20:34,900 –> 00:20:39,300
\nAnd when do we not judge?
\nSo I’m going to just roll <\/p>\n
302
\n00:20:39,300 –> 00:20:41,400
\nthrough a bunch of scriptures.
\nYou were not going to settle <\/p>\n
303
\n00:20:41,400 –> 00:20:44,900
\nthis question today, but I’m
\njust going to put some of the <\/p>\n
304
\n00:20:44,900 –> 00:20:48,500
\npieces on either side of the
\nfence Revelation, chapter 2, <\/p>\n
305
\n00:20:48,500 –> 00:20:51,600
\nverse 14.
\nI have a few things against you <\/p>\n
306
\n00:20:52,200 –> 00:20:56,500
\nbecause you have there some who
\nhold the teaching of Balaam who <\/p>\n
307
\n00:20:56,500 –> 00:20:58,000
\nkept.
\nTeaching balak to put a <\/p>\n
308
\n00:20:58,008 –> 00:21:01,300
\nstumbling block before the sons
\nof Israel to eat things <\/p>\n
309
\n00:21:01,300 –> 00:21:04,400
\nsacrificed to idols.
\nAnd to commit acts of <\/p>\n
310
\n00:21:04,400 –> 00:21:08,300
\nimmorality.
\nSo we have one of the seven <\/p>\n
311
\n00:21:08,600 –> 00:21:14,100
\noccasions and there is someone
\nthere teaching immorality and <\/p>\n
312
\n00:21:14,100 –> 00:21:19,000
\nthey had failed to properly,
\njudge to make a judgment call <\/p>\n
313
\n00:21:20,200 –> 00:21:22,700
\nrevelation, 22 verse 20.
\nI have this against you. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:21:22,700 –> 00:21:26,600
\nYou tolerate the woman Jezebel
\nwho calls herself a prophetess <\/p>\n
315
\n00:21:26,600 –> 00:21:30,100
\nand she teaches and leads my
\nbond servants astray so that <\/p>\n
316
\n00:21:30,100 –> 00:21:33,800
\nthey commit acts of immorality
\nand eat things sacrificed to <\/p>\n
317
\n00:21:33,800 –> 00:21:37,300
\nidols.
\nFirst Corinthians 5 is really <\/p>\n
318
\n00:21:37,300 –> 00:21:41,200
\ninteresting.
\nIt starts offers 12 what have I <\/p>\n
319
\n00:21:41,200 –> 00:21:46,100
\nto do with judging Outsiders.
\nHe starts off in an anti judging<\/p>\n
320
\n00:21:46,100 –> 00:21:49,200
\nposition, but he’s like, if you
\nhave a guy at work who’s an <\/p>\n
321
\n00:21:49,200 –> 00:21:55,800
\natheist and he’s drinking too
\nmuch going around, judging him <\/p>\n
322
\n00:21:55,800 –> 00:21:57,400
\nand staying.
\nNo, parading in front of his <\/p>\n
323
\n00:21:57,400 –> 00:22:00,200
\nwhole to the big placard saying,
\nyou shouldn’t drink and <\/p>\n
324
\n00:22:00,200 –> 00:22:02,700
\ndrunkenness.
\nIt’s like he’s, he never made a <\/p>\n
325
\n00:22:02,700 –> 00:22:05,800
\ncommitment to Christ like that.
\nThat’s not your problem, right? <\/p>\n
326
\n00:22:06,300 –> 00:22:07,700
\nWhat have I to do with judging
\nOutsiders? <\/p>\n
327
\n00:22:07,700 –> 00:22:12,200
\nDo not, do you not Do you not
\njudge those who are within the <\/p>\n
328
\n00:22:12,200 –> 00:22:14,700
\nchurch?
\nThose who are outside? <\/p>\n
329
\n00:22:14,700 –> 00:22:18,900
\nGod, judges The Atheist,
\ndrunkards God’s going to take <\/p>\n
330
\n00:22:18,900 –> 00:22:22,800
\ncare of that.
\nRemove the Wicked Man from among<\/p>\n
331
\n00:22:22,800 –> 00:22:26,600
\nyourselves. 1st Corinthians 6,
\nverse 3. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:22:26,600 –> 00:22:29,700
\nDo you not know that we will
\njudge Angels how much more <\/p>\n
333
\n00:22:29,700 –> 00:22:33,500
\nmatters in this life?
\nSo if you have Law Courts, <\/p>\n
334
\n00:22:33,500 –> 00:22:37,400
\ndealing with matters of dislike,
\nyou appoint them as judges were <\/p>\n
335
\n00:22:37,400 –> 00:22:40,800
\nof no account in the church.
\nSo he’s talking about conflict <\/p>\n
336
\n00:22:40,800 –> 00:22:44,100
\nwithin the church here, right?
\nWe have two members of the <\/p>\n
337
\n00:22:44,100 –> 00:22:49,300
\nEcclesia that are in some sort
\nof controversy, and I say this <\/p>\n
338
\n00:22:49,300 –> 00:22:54,000
\nto your shame, is it so that
\nthere is not among you, one wise<\/p>\n
339
\n00:22:54,000 –> 00:22:58,500
\nman who is able to decide
\nbetween his brothers We have <\/p>\n
340
\n00:22:58,500 –> 00:23:01,200
\nthis problem in our community.
\nThey had it back. <\/p>\n
341
\n00:23:01,200 –> 00:23:06,400
\nThen, it’s tragic that, with all
\nthe scriptural wisdom that we <\/p>\n
342
\n00:23:06,400 –> 00:23:10,000
\nhave in our communities
\nfrequently, we end up in <\/p>\n
343
\n00:23:10,000 –> 00:23:15,300
\nconflicts, where we can’t even
\nfind one person that both sides <\/p>\n
344
\n00:23:15,600 –> 00:23:18,500
\nwill trust to make a judgment
\ncall. <\/p>\n
345
\n00:23:19,900 –> 00:23:22,300
\nThat’s the we need that
\njudgment. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:23:22,700 –> 00:23:24,300
\nThat’s a judgment that were
\nlaughing. <\/p>\n
347
\n00:23:27,300 –> 00:23:31,300
\nSo those are my verses.
\nDid indicate that we need a <\/p>\n
348
\n00:23:31,300 –> 00:23:34,800
\ncertain amount of judgment in
\nour community and then you have <\/p>\n
349
\n00:23:34,800 –> 00:23:39,800
\nRomans 14 verses 3 and 4.
\nThe one who eats is not to <\/p>\n
350
\n00:23:39,808 –> 00:23:43,900
\nregard with contempt, the one
\nwho does not eat, and the one <\/p>\n
351
\n00:23:43,900 –> 00:23:48,500
\nwho does not eat, is not to
\njudge the one who eats her God <\/p>\n
352
\n00:23:48,500 –> 00:23:52,800
\naccepted him, who are you to
\njudge the servant of another <\/p>\n
353
\n00:23:53,400 –> 00:23:55,900
\nqualifications.
\nWho are you? <\/p>\n
354
\n00:23:56,400 –> 00:24:00,800
\nWhat exactly qualifies you to?
\nGo to your brother and be <\/p>\n
355
\n00:24:00,800 –> 00:24:03,300
\ntelling him what he should eat
\nand what he should be eating, <\/p>\n
356
\n00:24:03,600 –> 00:24:05,300
\nright?
\nAre you pretending? <\/p>\n
357
\n00:24:05,400 –> 00:24:09,900
\nAre you being a hypocrite?
\nTo his own Master. <\/p>\n
358
\n00:24:09,900 –> 00:24:13,600
\nHe stands or Falls and he will
\nstand, right? <\/p>\n
359
\n00:24:14,700 –> 00:24:17,500
\nGod Will Make A different
\njudgment than you in many cases.<\/p>\n
360
\n00:24:18,800 –> 00:24:23,000
\nTo his own Master, he stands or
\nFalls and he will stand for the <\/p>\n
361
\n00:24:23,000 –> 00:24:26,900
\nLord is able to make him stand.
\nRomans 14 verse 10 but you were,<\/p>\n
362
\n00:24:26,900 –> 00:24:29,200
\nwhy do you judge your brother?
\nAre you again? <\/p>\n
363
\n00:24:29,200 –> 00:24:31,000
\nWhy do you regard your brother
\nwith contempt? <\/p>\n
364
\n00:24:31,000 –> 00:24:35,200
\nWe will all stand before the
\nJudgment seat of God for it is <\/p>\n
365
\n00:24:35,200 –> 00:24:37,000
\nwritten.
\nAs I live says the Lord. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:24:37,000 –> 00:24:39,900
\nEvery knee shall bow to me every
\ntongue. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:24:39,900 –> 00:24:43,600
\nShall give praise to God.
\nSo then let each one of them. <\/p>\n
368
\n00:24:43,600 –> 00:24:47,100
\nSo then each one of us will give
\nan account of himself to God, <\/p>\n
369
\n00:24:47,600 –> 00:24:54,400
\ntherefore, Let us not judge.
\nOne another anymore or rather <\/p>\n
370
\n00:24:54,400 –> 00:24:57,700
\nthe determined this not to put
\nan obstacle or a stumbling block<\/p>\n
371
\n00:24:57,700 –> 00:25:02,900
\nin their brothers way.
\nJames chapter 4, do not speak <\/p>\n
372
\n00:25:02,900 –> 00:25:06,200
\nagainst one, another Brethren.
\nHe who speaks against a brother <\/p>\n
373
\n00:25:06,200 –> 00:25:09,200
\nor judges, his brother speaks
\nagainst the law, and judges the <\/p>\n
374
\n00:25:09,200 –> 00:25:11,200
\nlaw.
\nBut if you judge the law, you <\/p>\n
375
\n00:25:11,200 –> 00:25:13,600
\nare not a doer of the law, but a
\njudge of it. <\/p>\n
376
\n00:25:13,800 –> 00:25:17,700
\nThere is only one lawgiver and
\njudge, the one who is able to <\/p>\n
377
\n00:25:17,700 –> 00:25:21,500
\nsave and Destroy, who are you to
\njudge your neighbor? <\/p>\n
378
\n00:25:25,900 –> 00:25:27,500
\nYou just have to be very
\ncareful. <\/p>\n
379
\n00:25:27,800 –> 00:25:32,800
\nWhen we judging judging is a
\nvery dangerous situation and <\/p>\n
380
\n00:25:32,800 –> 00:25:36,900
\nmany ways, we need it.
\nBut when it happens, we should <\/p>\n
381
\n00:25:36,900 –> 00:25:42,000
\ngo into it with tremendous,
\ntrepidation, humility, and fear.<\/p>\n
382
\n00:25:44,600 –> 00:25:46,800
\nWe need minimum standards of
\nbehavior. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:25:47,800 –> 00:25:51,400
\nBut we need to make sure we’re
\nnot recreating the Mosaic <\/p>\n
384
\n00:25:51,400 –> 00:25:56,400
\nCovenant.
\nAnd we banish people from our <\/p>\n
385
\n00:25:56,400 –> 00:26:02,200
\ncommunity for being angry.
\nDo we banish people from our <\/p>\n
386
\n00:26:02,200 –> 00:26:06,800
\ncommunity for being lost home.
\nWe banish them because they have<\/p>\n
387
\n00:26:06,800 –> 00:26:11,400
\nnot given up all their
\npossessions, as Jesus commanded,<\/p>\n
388
\n00:26:12,200 –> 00:26:16,200
\ndo we banish them for not being
\nperfect the way Jesus commanded.<\/p>\n
389
\n00:26:18,600 –> 00:26:21,200
\nBut there are other things in
\nthis category that we do banish <\/p>\n
390
\n00:26:21,200 –> 00:26:26,100
\npeople from our community for
\nWe’re somewhat inconsistent in <\/p>\n
391
\n00:26:26,100 –> 00:26:30,300
\nour judgment and that should be
\nvery unsettling to us. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:26:32,100 –> 00:26:33,700
\nIt’s not about calling wrong
\nthings. <\/p>\n
393
\n00:26:33,700 –> 00:26:40,000
\nGood it’s about determining if
\nwe’re being compassionate and <\/p>\n
394
\n00:26:40,000 –> 00:26:47,500
\nmerciful and fair in the way we
\njudge, How do we maintain the <\/p>\n
395
\n00:26:47,500 –> 00:26:52,200
\nhealth of the equation?
\nLet’s go to Matthew Chapter 13. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:26:52,200 –> 00:26:54,500
\nWe’ve referenced this before
\nthis week. <\/p>\n
397
\n00:26:59,100 –> 00:27:02,600
\nBrother, Nathan brought this up
\nin his evening address. <\/p>\n
398
\n00:27:03,800 –> 00:27:08,200
\nVerses 24 to 30, he presented
\nanother. <\/p>\n
399
\n00:27:08,200 –> 00:27:10,500
\nParable to them saying the
\nKingdom of Heaven may be <\/p>\n
400
\n00:27:10,500 –> 00:27:13,300
\ncompared to a man who sowed good
\nseed in his field. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:27:14,100 –> 00:27:18,300
\nBut while men were sleeping, his
\nenemy came and sowed tares. <\/p>\n
402
\n00:27:18,300 –> 00:27:20,300
\nAlso among the wheat and went
\naway. <\/p>\n
403
\n00:27:20,800 –> 00:27:23,300
\nAnd when the wheat sprang up and
\nbore grain, then the tears <\/p>\n
404
\n00:27:23,300 –> 00:27:25,400
\nbecame evident also and the
\nslaves. <\/p>\n
405
\n00:27:25,400 –> 00:27:28,400
\nThe landowner came to him and
\nsaid to him, sir, did you not <\/p>\n
406
\n00:27:28,400 –> 00:27:31,900
\nsow good seed in your field?
\nHow then does it have tears? <\/p>\n
407
\n00:27:32,500 –> 00:27:34,800
\nAnd he said, Add to them.
\nAn enemy has done this and the <\/p>\n
408
\n00:27:34,800 –> 00:27:40,100
\nslave said to him, do you want
\nus then to go and gather them <\/p>\n
409
\n00:27:40,100 –> 00:27:47,700
\nup?
\nDo you Jesus wants us? <\/p>\n
410
\n00:27:48,900 –> 00:27:52,600
\nYou go among the Ecclesia and
\ngather up the tares. <\/p>\n
411
\n00:27:54,000 –> 00:27:59,900
\nDo you want us to be evaluating
\neach other and trying to decide <\/p>\n
412
\n00:28:00,200 –> 00:28:07,500
\nexactly how much weaker tear?
\nEach one of us might be and he <\/p>\n
413
\n00:28:07,500 –> 00:28:10,600
\nsaid, no.
\nHe said, no. <\/p>\n
414
\n00:28:13,300 –> 00:28:17,200
\nWhy not?
\nWell lest, while you are <\/p>\n
415
\n00:28:17,200 –> 00:28:20,500
\ngathering up the tears, you met
\nroot up. <\/p>\n
416
\n00:28:20,500 –> 00:28:25,600
\nThe wheat also, You aren’t
\nqualified, right? <\/p>\n
417
\n00:28:25,700 –> 00:28:28,300
\nYou sent you simply don’t have
\nthe skills. <\/p>\n
418
\n00:28:29,700 –> 00:28:34,100
\nI mean, Jesus knows Jesus knows
\nexactly whose recent are but you<\/p>\n
419
\n00:28:34,100 –> 00:28:36,500
\ndon’t.
\nAnd so if you go in there, <\/p>\n
420
\n00:28:36,500 –> 00:28:40,600
\nprematurely before the Harvest,
\ntrying to sort of sit there, <\/p>\n
421
\n00:28:40,600 –> 00:28:45,200
\neverybody into the right
\ncategory, you’re older reaching.<\/p>\n
422
\n00:28:46,500 –> 00:28:50,000
\nJesus is telling you you are not
\nqualified. <\/p>\n
423
\n00:28:52,200 –> 00:28:57,400
\nThat’s staggering.
\nWhat do we do that, right? <\/p>\n
424
\n00:28:57,900 –> 00:29:03,000
\nWhat this tells us is that our
\ncompletions should have tears. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:29:04,600 –> 00:29:07,300
\nIf you somehow have an equation
\nthat doesn’t have tears, then <\/p>\n
426
\n00:29:07,300 –> 00:29:13,700
\nyou have been too invasive.
\nYou have been too aggressive and<\/p>\n
427
\n00:29:13,700 –> 00:29:19,700
\nit’s possible heaven forbid that
\nyou have destroyed wheat. <\/p>\n
428
\n00:29:20,800 –> 00:29:26,600
\nIn the process and you should be
\nvery scared of that. <\/p>\n
429
\n00:29:27,700 –> 00:29:32,000
\nYou should be very worried that
\nyou have taken a brother or <\/p>\n
430
\n00:29:32,000 –> 00:29:35,600
\nsister who Christ died for and
\ndriven them away from the pulled<\/p>\n
431
\n00:29:35,700 –> 00:29:37,600
\nbecause you had a plank in your
\neye. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:29:37,600 –> 00:29:41,300
\nThat you didn’t even realize you
\nhave that should terrify you. <\/p>\n
433
\n00:29:41,900 –> 00:29:45,400
\nNone of us should want to stand
\nbefore the judgment and faced <\/p>\n
434
\n00:29:45,400 –> 00:29:51,500
\nthe implications of you.
\nHaving driven away, one of God’s<\/p>\n
435
\n00:29:51,500 –> 00:29:56,200
\nterpenes.
\nI’ve allowed both to grow <\/p>\n
436
\n00:29:56,200 –> 00:29:58,900
\ntogether.
\nIt’s against every intuition we <\/p>\n
437
\n00:29:58,900 –> 00:30:03,000
\nhave allow both to grow together
\nuntil the Harvest. <\/p>\n
438
\n00:30:04,000 –> 00:30:06,900
\nHow do we do that?
\nIt’s terrifying, right. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:30:08,900 –> 00:30:12,100
\nInteresting point, brother.
\nNathan made is, how do you <\/p>\n
440
\n00:30:12,100 –> 00:30:18,500
\nprotect the wheat?
\nYou make it strong, you make the<\/p>\n
441
\n00:30:18,500 –> 00:30:24,300
\nwheat strong, so that it can
\ngrow up right beside a tear and <\/p>\n
442
\n00:30:24,300 –> 00:30:27,300
\nsurvive.
\nRight? <\/p>\n
443
\n00:30:28,500 –> 00:30:32,600
\nWe need to focus primarily on
\nstrengthening. <\/p>\n
444
\n00:30:32,600 –> 00:30:35,700
\nThe wheat, is the true of our
\nchildren as well. <\/p>\n
445
\n00:30:35,700 –> 00:30:40,000
\nThere’s, there’s a certain stage
\nand stage at which, we need to <\/p>\n
446
\n00:30:40,000 –> 00:30:42,700
\nprotect our children from
\noutside influences. <\/p>\n
447
\n00:30:42,800 –> 00:30:45,000
\nWe need to build a shield,
\nright? <\/p>\n
448
\n00:30:46,800 –> 00:30:52,200
\nOur Shield cannot be sustained
\nForever at a certain point in <\/p>\n
449
\n00:30:52,200 –> 00:30:55,800
\ntime, our children will face the
\nreality of the world around <\/p>\n
450
\n00:30:55,800 –> 00:30:58,400
\nthem.
\nSo, in that period, we have to <\/p>\n
451
\n00:30:58,400 –> 00:31:02,800
\nstrengthen them so that when
\nthey end up among the weeds, <\/p>\n
452
\n00:31:03,100 –> 00:31:07,300
\nthey will be able to withstand
\nthe pressure of weeds. <\/p>\n
453
\n00:31:09,000 –> 00:31:12,100
\nWe need to build a community
\nthat is stronger and not a <\/p>\n
454
\n00:31:12,100 –> 00:31:16,000
\ncommunity, that is pure because
\nwe’re afraid. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:31:17,800 –> 00:31:21,600
\nWe shouldn’t be purifying our
\nranks because we’re so afraid of<\/p>\n
456
\n00:31:21,608 –> 00:31:24,600
\nbeing contaminated, we should be
\nstrong enough. <\/p>\n
457
\n00:31:24,600 –> 00:31:29,100
\nAnd if we’re not work on that
\nfirst, the plank in your own <\/p>\n
458
\n00:31:29,100 –> 00:31:32,100
\neye, if you are.
\nSo weak in your faith that you <\/p>\n
459
\n00:31:32,100 –> 00:31:37,100
\ncan’t tolerate, someone who
\nmight have a opinion, that might<\/p>\n
460
\n00:31:37,100 –> 00:31:40,600
\nbe over the line, and it might
\nbe, it might be it there. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:31:42,100 –> 00:31:44,300
\nIs your face.
\nSo weak that you can’t, you <\/p>\n
462
\n00:31:44,300 –> 00:31:47,300
\ncan’t be there on a Sunday
\nmorning with someone like that. <\/p>\n
463
\n00:31:48,400 –> 00:31:49,800
\nYou might need to work on your
\nhead. <\/p>\n
464
\n00:31:49,900 –> 00:31:56,600
\nYou should be able to withstand
\nNow, this isn’t an anything-goes<\/p>\n
465
\n00:31:56,600 –> 00:31:59,400
\nprinciple, right?
\nIt’s not like, oh, well, you <\/p>\n
466
\n00:31:59,408 –> 00:32:01,600
\nknow, let’s bring the Catholics
\nand let’s bring that like no, <\/p>\n
467
\n00:32:01,600 –> 00:32:04,600
\nno, the wheat and the tares are
\nsimilar right bit. <\/p>\n
468
\n00:32:04,600 –> 00:32:08,300
\nLike it’s not like there’s an
\napple tree in the middle of my <\/p>\n
469
\n00:32:08,700 –> 00:32:11,400
\nfield of week, right?
\nLike but, but the point that <\/p>\n
470
\n00:32:11,400 –> 00:32:15,100
\nJesus is making is when you draw
\na circle and decide, these are <\/p>\n
471
\n00:32:15,100 –> 00:32:19,700
\ngoing to be the edges of our
\ncommunity, the circle should be <\/p>\n
472
\n00:32:19,700 –> 00:32:22,000
\nwider than you think it should
\nbe. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:32:23,100 –> 00:32:25,600
\nAnd your instinct to go.
\nWell, this is the community of <\/p>\n
474
\n00:32:25,600 –> 00:32:29,100
\nthe saved of.
\nThat’s that’s what you think and<\/p>\n
475
\n00:32:29,100 –> 00:32:32,800
\nyou have your opinion with your
\nplank, in your eye, you should <\/p>\n
476
\n00:32:32,800 –> 00:32:37,000
\ndraw a bigger Circle, a circle
\nthat you are not comfortable <\/p>\n
477
\n00:32:37,000 –> 00:32:41,000
\nwith That should be your circle
\nbecause it’s better for you to <\/p>\n
478
\n00:32:41,000 –> 00:32:46,900
\nbe uncomfortable than that.
\nYou should rip out some wheat in<\/p>\n
479
\n00:32:46,900 –> 00:32:52,400
\nyour fear and anxiety, right?
\nIf you’re, you know, inner <\/p>\n
480
\n00:32:52,400 –> 00:32:56,600
\ninsecurity is causing you to
\ntear out the wheat that Christ <\/p>\n
481
\n00:32:56,600 –> 00:32:59,200
\ndied for.
\nYou are in trouble. <\/p>\n
482
\n00:33:00,400 –> 00:33:02,900
\nWho wants to face Christ in that
\nsituation. <\/p>\n
483
\n00:33:02,900 –> 00:33:15,000
\nI know I do. when in doubt judge
\nDonald, Jumping to the next <\/p>\n
484
\n00:33:15,000 –> 00:33:21,800
\nsection, verses 7 to 11.
\nAsk and it shall be given to <\/p>\n
485
\n00:33:21,800 –> 00:33:26,100
\nyou.
\nAnd I mean this passage has been<\/p>\n
486
\n00:33:26,100 –> 00:33:29,500
\ntaken out of context and so many
\nways that people just assume <\/p>\n
487
\n00:33:29,500 –> 00:33:33,000
\nthat you know, whatever I want.
\nYou don’t hear about kids train <\/p>\n
488
\n00:33:33,100 –> 00:33:34,900
\nfor a new bike and I think get a
\nnew bike. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:33:35,900 –> 00:33:38,200
\nLet’s think about this in
\ncontext. <\/p>\n
490
\n00:33:38,200 –> 00:33:40,600
\nRight?
\nWhat are we asking about? <\/p>\n
491
\n00:33:41,300 –> 00:33:44,100
\nAnd and I’m going to choose the
\nlens here and it may not be the <\/p>\n
492
\n00:33:44,100 –> 00:33:47,500
\nonly ones to read this chapter,
\nbut if I’m saying, I have a <\/p>\n
493
\n00:33:47,508 –> 00:33:51,700
\nplank in my eye and I’m not sure
\nwhat to do about it. <\/p>\n
494
\n00:33:52,500 –> 00:33:58,700
\nJesus is saying ask like you’ve
\ngot flaws and you’re trying to <\/p>\n
495
\n00:33:58,700 –> 00:34:02,600
\nfigure out how to work on them
\nand you see the dogs and the <\/p>\n
496
\n00:34:02,600 –> 00:34:06,200
\npigs.
\nDon’t be a dog and a pig like go<\/p>\n
497
\n00:34:06,200 –> 00:34:12,000
\nto your brother and say, what
\ncan I do about the plank in my <\/p>\n
498
\n00:34:12,000 –> 00:34:14,500
\neye?
\nAnd said, maybe maybe he doesn’t<\/p>\n
499
\n00:34:14,500 –> 00:34:17,500
\nknow.
\nWell, then seek Go out. <\/p>\n
500
\n00:34:17,500 –> 00:34:22,500
\nPut some effort into it right?
\nInvite information. <\/p>\n
501
\n00:34:23,699 –> 00:34:26,400
\nThat will educate you about your
\nshortcomings. <\/p>\n
502
\n00:34:28,199 –> 00:34:32,199
\nOkay, don’t don’t be the other
\ncategory that doesn’t want any <\/p>\n
503
\n00:34:32,199 –> 00:34:37,300
\ninformation.
\nVerse 12. <\/p>\n
504
\n00:34:37,699 –> 00:34:44,000
\nTherefore however you want
\npeople to treat you. <\/p>\n
505
\n00:34:44,000 –> 00:34:47,100
\nSo treat them for this is the
\nlaw and the prophets. <\/p>\n
506
\n00:34:48,400 –> 00:34:52,900
\nThey call this the Golden Rule
\nand again, I find there for <\/p>\n
507
\n00:34:53,199 –> 00:34:56,400
\nlike, what’s that word there?
\nIt’s a connecting word. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:34:57,200 –> 00:35:01,200
\nHow does this, you know, Golden
\nRule have anything to do with <\/p>\n
509
\n00:35:01,200 –> 00:35:04,000
\nknocking and asking and seeking
\nI Think Jesus is giving you a <\/p>\n
510
\n00:35:04,000 –> 00:35:06,700
\nhint, okay?
\nIf if you’re not getting the <\/p>\n
511
\n00:35:06,700 –> 00:35:09,600
\ninformation, if you’re having
\ntrouble understanding how to <\/p>\n
512
\n00:35:09,600 –> 00:35:13,500
\ndeal with the plank in your eye,
\nhere is a good rule of thumb, <\/p>\n
513
\n00:35:13,900 –> 00:35:16,600
\nright?
\nIf you’re behaving in a way that<\/p>\n
514
\n00:35:16,600 –> 00:35:20,700
\nyou find unacceptable, People
\nand other people work on that <\/p>\n
515
\n00:35:20,700 –> 00:35:28,100
\nfirst.
\nAll that great Insight you have <\/p>\n
516
\n00:35:28,100 –> 00:35:31,100
\non other people’s flaws will
\nmake a list and say, okay, how <\/p>\n
517
\n00:35:31,100 –> 00:35:33,400
\nam I doing you in every one of
\nthese categories? <\/p>\n
518
\n00:35:35,400 –> 00:35:38,600
\nWhy does this work?
\nWhy does it work? <\/p>\n
519
\n00:35:38,800 –> 00:35:42,400
\nIt works because we have double
\nstandards, okay? <\/p>\n
520
\n00:35:42,400 –> 00:35:44,300
\nThis is what Jesus is trying to
\ntell you. <\/p>\n
521
\n00:35:44,400 –> 00:35:47,900
\nYou have a double standard, you
\nhave one standard for others, <\/p>\n
522
\n00:35:47,900 –> 00:35:49,400
\nand you have one standard for
\nyourself. <\/p>\n
523
\n00:35:49,500 –> 00:35:51,400
\nAnd Jesus is trying to take that
\nstandard. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:35:51,400 –> 00:35:53,800
\nYou apply to others swinging it
\naround. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:35:53,800 –> 00:35:56,900
\nCome on, let’s turn it around.
\nShine that light on yourself, <\/p>\n
526
\n00:35:56,900 –> 00:35:58,600
\nthat’s a great.
\nStarting point. <\/p>\n
527
\n00:36:02,600 –> 00:36:06,600
\nAnd in Psalms says, a quick me
\nof Hidden Falls. <\/p>\n
528
\n00:36:07,700 –> 00:36:11,500
\nThe most terrifying thing is
\nthey is this notion that you <\/p>\n
529
\n00:36:11,500 –> 00:36:14,200
\nhave these big problems.
\nYou know, I can nobody’s telling<\/p>\n
530
\n00:36:14,200 –> 00:36:19,000
\nyou about them.
\nIt gives us another hint enter <\/p>\n
531
\n00:36:19,000 –> 00:36:24,600
\nby the narrow gate if you have
\nan ambiguity about which path <\/p>\n
532
\n00:36:24,600 –> 00:36:31,400
\nyou should take.
\nA rule of thumb is, are you <\/p>\n
533
\n00:36:31,400 –> 00:36:33,900
\ntaking the easy way or you
\ntaking the hard way? <\/p>\n
534
\n00:36:34,200 –> 00:36:38,200
\nAnd if the thing that you’re
\ndoing is easy, as should be a <\/p>\n
535
\n00:36:38,200 –> 00:36:41,700
\nbig red flag waving.
\nThis is a moment you should <\/p>\n
536
\n00:36:41,700 –> 00:36:43,700
\ndouble-check with your brothers
\nand sisters. <\/p>\n
537
\n00:36:44,300 –> 00:36:49,600
\nI’m taking the easy route.
\nAlmost always the wrong choice. <\/p>\n
538
\n00:36:49,900 –> 00:36:52,100
\nAlmost always the wrong choice,
\nseek out. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:36:52,100 –> 00:36:56,800
\nThe difficult choice.
\nThis applies across So many so <\/p>\n
540
\n00:36:56,800 –> 00:37:04,400
\nmany ways.
\nVerse 15, beware of false <\/p>\n
541
\n00:37:04,400 –> 00:37:06,000
\nprophets.
\nWho come to you in sheep’s <\/p>\n
542
\n00:37:06,000 –> 00:37:08,800
\nclothing, and individually
\ninwardly are ravenous wolves. <\/p>\n
543
\n00:37:09,100 –> 00:37:11,800
\nYou will know them by their
\nfruits. <\/p>\n
544
\n00:37:12,700 –> 00:37:14,800
\nWhat does this have to do with
\nclients in our eyes? <\/p>\n
545
\n00:37:15,100 –> 00:37:17,800
\nI think what he’s saying here
\nis, if you’re going to go and <\/p>\n
546
\n00:37:17,800 –> 00:37:21,700
\nask people for advice, make sure
\nit’s people who are credible. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:37:22,600 –> 00:37:25,500
\nAnd they have a credible basis
\nfor the advice they’re giving <\/p>\n
548
\n00:37:26,800 –> 00:37:29,600
\nand you may not know that right
\naway, right? <\/p>\n
549
\n00:37:29,900 –> 00:37:34,400
\nThe the outworking of someone’s
\nphilosophy of life doesn’t bear <\/p>\n
550
\n00:37:34,400 –> 00:37:37,300
\nfruit right away.
\nSometimes it takes some time, so<\/p>\n
551
\n00:37:37,400 –> 00:37:40,200
\nbe very cautious.
\nThere’s a lot of messages. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:37:40,200 –> 00:37:46,700
\nThat sounds very nice, but end
\nup in tragic consider that <\/p>\n
553
\n00:37:46,700 –> 00:37:49,800
\npossibility.
\nObserve you will know them by <\/p>\n
554
\n00:37:49,800 –> 00:37:51,500
\ntheir fruit.
\nNot everyone who says to me, <\/p>\n
555
\n00:37:51,500 –> 00:37:53,300
\nLord Lord.
\nWell, enter the kingdom of <\/p>\n
556
\n00:37:53,300 –> 00:37:56,800
\nheaven.
\nHe who does the will of My <\/p>\n
557
\n00:37:56,800 –> 00:38:02,200
\nFather, which brings us to the
\nnext section, which is the wise <\/p>\n
558
\n00:38:02,200 –> 00:38:03,600
\nman.
\nBuilt his house upon the rock, <\/p>\n
559
\n00:38:03,600 –> 00:38:08,000
\nso hard to you, this one without
\nthe singing it and you have to <\/p>\n
560
\n00:38:08,000 –> 00:38:10,200
\nask yourself, okay?
\nThis is the grand finale. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:38:10,200 –> 00:38:14,400
\nJesus is put together this
\ntremendous, you know, talk <\/p>\n
562
\n00:38:14,400 –> 00:38:21,800
\npresentation on righteousness
\nand he ends with this concept <\/p>\n
563
\n00:38:22,400 –> 00:38:25,500
\nand a fastest, l fly.
\nWell, when you go to the <\/p>\n
564
\n00:38:25,500 –> 00:38:29,600
\naquarium and there’s a sign up
\nthere that says do not tap on <\/p>\n
565
\n00:38:29,600 –> 00:38:33,600
\nglass, why would they put that
\nup there? <\/p>\n
566
\n00:38:37,700 –> 00:38:41,100
\nBut why would they bother
\nwriting on a piece of paper and <\/p>\n
567
\n00:38:41,100 –> 00:38:45,200
\nputting it up?
\nBecause everyone wants to know <\/p>\n
568
\n00:38:45,700 –> 00:38:47,700
\nis everybody keep stopping on
\nthe glass, right? <\/p>\n
569
\n00:38:47,700 –> 00:38:51,800
\nSo when you When you see Jesus
\ngiving giving advice, you have <\/p>\n
570
\n00:38:51,800 –> 00:38:55,800
\nto understand that the reason is
\ndoing is because this is what he<\/p>\n
571
\n00:38:55,800 –> 00:38:59,300
\nthinks you’re going to do after.
\nI’ve given you all this <\/p>\n
572
\n00:38:59,300 –> 00:39:05,100
\ninformation through all these
\nchapters The most likely thing <\/p>\n
573
\n00:39:05,100 –> 00:39:11,400
\nfor you to do is to be like,
\nAmen, brother, and go home and <\/p>\n
574
\n00:39:11,400 –> 00:39:16,600
\ndo absolutely nothing about it.
\nMake no change at all. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:39:16,600 –> 00:39:21,100
\nYou’re like this is the most
\npredictable, human reaction to <\/p>\n
576
\n00:39:21,100 –> 00:39:23,900
\nDivine Insight.
\nIt’s great. <\/p>\n
577
\n00:39:23,900 –> 00:39:26,200
\nSo it’s a greatness.
\nWe love it. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:39:26,300 –> 00:39:30,500
\nWe agree with it.
\nIt’s wonderful and then do <\/p>\n
579
\n00:39:30,500 –> 00:39:35,300
\nnothing about.
\nSo at the end of this chapter <\/p>\n
580
\n00:39:35,300 –> 00:39:39,100
\nJesus is saying, please please,
\nI’ve tried to shock you, I’ve <\/p>\n
581
\n00:39:39,100 –> 00:39:42,000
\ntried to surprise you.
\nI’ve tried to educate and go cry<\/p>\n
582
\n00:39:42,000 –> 00:39:46,700
\nto warn you and Only going to be
\nuseful to you. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:39:46,900 –> 00:39:52,900
\nIf you actually turn this into
\ndecisions in your life, you have<\/p>\n
584
\n00:39:52,900 –> 00:39:55,900
\nto turn it into behaviors.
\nYou have to do something <\/p>\n
585
\n00:39:55,900 –> 00:39:57,600
\ndifferent in the next few
\nmonths. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:39:57,600 –> 00:40:01,000
\nThen you would have done before
\nbecause of these words of <\/p>\n
587
\n00:40:01,000 –> 00:40:05,500
\nChrist, if you don’t do that,
\nyou have built your whole <\/p>\n
588
\n00:40:05,500 –> 00:40:09,900
\nreligion on the sand and the
\nmoment, some kind of tragic <\/p>\n
589
\n00:40:09,900 –> 00:40:13,300
\nevent happens.
\nYour whole structure will <\/p>\n
590
\n00:40:13,300 –> 00:40:20,400
\ncollapse.
\nTherefore everyone who hears <\/p>\n
591
\n00:40:20,400 –> 00:40:25,100
\nthese words of mine and acts
\nupon them. <\/p>\n
592
\n00:40:25,100 –> 00:40:31,200
\nIt’s a prerequisite will be like
\na wise man who built his house <\/p>\n
593
\n00:40:31,300 –> 00:40:42,200
\nupon the rock.
\nTo manifest God’s character. <\/p>\n
594
\n00:40:44,000 –> 00:40:50,500
\nWe have to do things.
\nWe have to engage in behaviors. <\/p>\n
595
\n00:40:53,400 –> 00:40:56,600
\nBut we know from these chapters,
\nthat were imperfect. <\/p>\n
596
\n00:40:58,600 –> 00:41:03,000
\nSo we have a paradox because we
\nare called to manifest God’s <\/p>\n
597
\n00:41:03,000 –> 00:41:06,700
\ncharacter and our behavior.
\nAnd yet we can see conclusively <\/p>\n
598
\n00:41:06,700 –> 00:41:09,000
\nthat we are in perfect, what’s
\ngoing to happen? <\/p>\n
599
\n00:41:09,000 –> 00:41:11,600
\nWhen we put these two things
\ntogether, what’s going to <\/p>\n
600
\n00:41:11,600 –> 00:41:15,600
\nhappen, when you take a bunch of
\nimperfect people and you ask <\/p>\n
601
\n00:41:15,600 –> 00:41:23,400
\nthem to manifest perfection.
\nJust going to have a lot of <\/p>\n
602
\n00:41:23,400 –> 00:41:27,400
\nmistakes, right?
\nIs going to be a lot of <\/p>\n
603
\n00:41:27,400 –> 00:41:31,600
\nmistakes.
\nNow, there’s a way to avoid the <\/p>\n
604
\n00:41:31,600 –> 00:41:35,200
\nmistakes and that is by simply
\nnot doing anything, right? <\/p>\n
605
\n00:41:36,000 –> 00:41:41,200
\nAnd this is the one Talent, man.
\nI’ve got a hard Master, he wants<\/p>\n
606
\n00:41:41,200 –> 00:41:44,400
\nme to be perfect.
\nThe master wants me to be <\/p>\n
607
\n00:41:44,400 –> 00:41:47,900
\nperfect, if I go and try to do
\nsomething with the talent, he’s <\/p>\n
608
\n00:41:47,900 –> 00:41:50,200
\ngiven me.
\nI have to take a risk. <\/p>\n
609
\n00:41:51,300 –> 00:41:54,900
\nI might do it wrong, I might
\nfail. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:41:56,300 –> 00:42:02,000
\nAnd so the best way to never
\nfail Is to never do anything at <\/p>\n
611
\n00:42:02,000 –> 00:42:09,100
\nall to never take a risk.
\nAnd and Jesus, clearly condemns <\/p>\n
612
\n00:42:09,100 –> 00:42:12,600
\nthis Jesus.
\nClearly says you should be a <\/p>\n
613
\n00:42:12,600 –> 00:42:17,400
\nrisk taker.
\nYou need to take a risk of <\/p>\n
614
\n00:42:17,400 –> 00:42:18,600
\nfailure.
\nOkay. <\/p>\n
615
\n00:42:18,600 –> 00:42:21,600
\nIt’s a risk of failure.
\nIt’s a risk. <\/p>\n
616
\n00:42:21,600 –> 00:42:24,800
\nThat the thing that God gave
\nyou, you may do something <\/p>\n
617
\n00:42:25,600 –> 00:42:29,800
\ninadequate with it.
\nI bet that’s what the other ones<\/p>\n
618
\n00:42:29,800 –> 00:42:32,400
\ndid.
\nThey took a risk? <\/p>\n
619
\n00:42:36,400 –> 00:42:39,000
\nThis is the situation.
\nWe find ourselves every morning,<\/p>\n
620
\n00:42:39,000 –> 00:42:40,100
\nright?
\nWe wake up. <\/p>\n
621
\n00:42:42,300 –> 00:42:47,400
\nAnd we can try to move closer to
\nGod and closer to perfection. <\/p>\n
622
\n00:42:48,300 –> 00:42:53,000
\nBut we start off on a hunter,
\nwith this, Chasm between us and <\/p>\n
623
\n00:42:53,000 –> 00:42:56,300
\nwhere we should be and the path
\nto get there. <\/p>\n
624
\n00:42:56,300 –> 00:43:03,000
\nSeemed so difficult and narrow.
\nand we know that nine times out <\/p>\n
625
\n00:43:03,000 –> 00:43:08,800
\nof 10, when we step out We’re
\ngoing to slip or stumble, in <\/p>\n
626
\n00:43:08,800 –> 00:43:14,700
\nsome way.
\nAnd so we Face an incredible <\/p>\n
627
\n00:43:14,700 –> 00:43:21,700
\ntemptation to do know the sit
\nback to not make believe. but we<\/p>\n
628
\n00:43:21,700 –> 00:43:28,700
\nforget, There’s actually.
\nA safety rope attached. <\/p>\n
629
\n00:43:30,300 –> 00:43:38,200
\nOkay. if you step out and you
\nfall, God has built in a <\/p>\n
630
\n00:43:38,200 –> 00:43:41,400
\nmechanism for you to get picked
\nback up again. <\/p>\n
631
\n00:43:42,600 –> 00:43:45,700
\nMichael 7:8 do not rejoice over
\nme. <\/p>\n
632
\n00:43:45,700 –> 00:43:47,800
\nMy enemy, though.
\nI fall. <\/p>\n
633
\n00:43:48,600 –> 00:43:53,100
\nI will rise though.
\nI dwell in darkness. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:43:53,100 –> 00:44:00,800
\nThe Lord is a light for me.
\nRomans chapter 5 verses 20, the <\/p>\n
635
\n00:44:00,800 –> 00:44:03,900
\nlaw came in so that the
\ntransgression would increase. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:44:04,200 –> 00:44:08,400
\nBut where sin increased Grace
\nabounded all the more so that as<\/p>\n
637
\n00:44:08,400 –> 00:44:12,400
\nSin reigned in death even so
\nGrace would Reign through <\/p>\n
638
\n00:44:12,400 –> 00:44:16,800
\nrighteousness to eternal life.
\nThrough Jesus Christ, Our Lord <\/p>\n
639
\n00:44:17,300 –> 00:44:22,500
\nGrace is our safety net.
\nOkay, we know we’ll never reach <\/p>\n
640
\n00:44:22,500 –> 00:44:27,300
\nPerfection.
\nGod has agreed to help us bridge<\/p>\n
641
\n00:44:27,300 –> 00:44:29,700
\nthe gap.
\nBut He only Bridges it. <\/p>\n
642
\n00:44:29,700 –> 00:44:34,000
\nIf we’re moving, he requires us
\nto take those steps. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:44:34,000 –> 00:44:38,300
\nAnd if we fall on that Journey,
\nhe will pick us up. <\/p>\n
644
\n00:44:40,000 –> 00:44:44,200
\nBut if we don’t start the
\njourney, he’s not just going to <\/p>\n
645
\n00:44:44,200 –> 00:44:49,400
\nteleport us there either.
\nIt takes courage to leave. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:44:49,600 –> 00:44:55,000
\nMesopotamia takes courage to
\nleave Egypt. it takes courage to<\/p>\n
647
\n00:44:55,000 –> 00:44:58,300
\nset step out of a boat in the
\nmiddle of the storm, and <\/p>\n
648
\n00:44:58,300 –> 00:45:03,600
\nsometimes what we do we sink and
\nsometimes Jesus has to reach out<\/p>\n
649
\n00:45:03,600 –> 00:45:07,200
\nand browse Whole is back into
\nthe boat. <\/p>\n
650
\n00:45:07,600 –> 00:45:12,800
\nGive us a talking to But then
\nexpects us to get up. <\/p>\n
651
\n00:45:13,400 –> 00:45:19,300
\nTry again.
\nWe have to be able to move from <\/p>\n
652
\n00:45:19,300 –> 00:45:23,500
\ncrushing the blessing.
\nWe started in the mountain of <\/p>\n
653
\n00:45:23,500 –> 00:45:27,200
\nblessing.
\nWe go through a crushing <\/p>\n
654
\n00:45:27,200 –> 00:45:31,500
\nprocess, but we need to end in
\nthe mountain of blessing. <\/p>\n
655
\n00:45:35,300 –> 00:45:40,400
\nThere is no condemnation for
\nthose in Christ. <\/p>\n
656
\n00:45:40,600 –> 00:45:45,700
\nThat’s what Romans 8:1 says
\nthere is no condemnation. <\/p>\n
657
\n00:45:46,200 –> 00:45:53,100
\nThat’s an absolute statement 0.
\nDo you have the faith to believe<\/p>\n
658
\n00:45:53,100 –> 00:45:56,300
\nthat verse?
\nThat burst takes when you look <\/p>\n
659
\n00:45:56,300 –> 00:46:00,100
\ninside yourself and see what’s
\ngoing on? <\/p>\n
660
\n00:46:01,600 –> 00:46:03,300
\nCan you actually believe
\nscripture? <\/p>\n
661
\n00:46:03,300 –> 00:46:06,100
\nWhen it says that there is no
\ncommonly. <\/p>\n
662
\n00:46:06,300 –> 00:46:11,600
\nThis is a test of faith.
\nTo be able to say there is no <\/p>\n
663
\n00:46:11,600 –> 00:46:15,100
\nzero condemnation, not less, not
\nnow. <\/p>\n
664
\n00:46:15,400 –> 00:46:20,800
\nNo condemnation for those for
\nthose in Christ isn’t Universal <\/p>\n
665
\n00:46:20,800 –> 00:46:23,800
\nsalvation.
\nBut what this verse does is it <\/p>\n
666
\n00:46:23,800 –> 00:46:27,800
\ncan take you from crushing to
\nblessing. <\/p>\n
667
\n00:46:31,500 –> 00:46:36,800
\nSo, I’d like to end where we
\nstarted and Hebrews chapter 12. <\/p>\n
668
\n00:46:39,200 –> 00:46:41,900
\nAnd remind you that you have
\ncome to Mount, Zion. <\/p>\n
669
\n00:46:43,500 –> 00:46:46,400
\nThe city of the Living.
\nGod the heavenly Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
670
\n00:46:47,600 –> 00:46:49,500
\nYou have come to myriad’s of
\nangels. <\/p>\n
671
\n00:46:50,700 –> 00:46:54,900
\nYou have come to the general
\nassembly, and the Church of the <\/p>\n
