Class 4 from this series was used for GCT Episode 217.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:29,400 –> 00:00:34,200
\ntry to record it.
\nSo just waiting for the The Moon<\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:34,200 –> 00:00:46,200
\nthat sorry.
\nTalked about two mountains <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:46,600 –> 00:00:51,500
\nyesterday, you have not come to
\nthe mountain, which may be <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:51,500 –> 00:00:57,100
\ntouched into a blazing fire and
\ndarkness and Gloom and Whirlwind<\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:57,500 –> 00:01:01,200
\nto the blast of a trumpet.
\nAnd the sound of Words, Words, <\/p>\n
7
\n00:01:01,300 –> 00:01:05,099
\nwhich sound was such that those
\nwho heard begged that no further<\/p>\n
8
\n00:01:05,099 –> 00:01:09,000
\nword should be spoken to them
\nfor they could not bear the <\/p>\n
9
\n00:01:09,000 –> 00:01:11,500
\ncommand.
\nIf even a beast touches the <\/p>\n
10
\n00:01:11,500 –> 00:01:15,300
\nmountain, it will be stoned.
\nAnd so terrible was the sight. <\/p>\n
11
\n00:01:15,300 –> 00:01:21,900
\nThat Moses said, I am full of
\nfear and trembling first moment <\/p>\n
12
\n00:01:21,900 –> 00:01:27,600
\nof introspection is, is that the
\nmountain that you come to Is <\/p>\n
13
\n00:01:27,600 –> 00:01:29,100
\nthat the mountain that you
\nworship? <\/p>\n
14
\n00:01:29,100 –> 00:01:33,800
\nThat is that the mountain that
\npeople see when they observe you<\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:34,000 –> 00:01:36,400
\nin your equation when they
\nobserve you and your family and <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:36,400 –> 00:01:41,400
\nyour family, when they observe
\nyou at work, but you have come <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:41,400 –> 00:01:44,600
\nto Mount, Zion to the city of
\nthe Living. <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:44,600 –> 00:01:48,700
\nGod the heavenly Jerusalem and
\nto Myriad of angels to the <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:48,700 –> 00:01:51,400
\ngeneral assembly and the Church
\nof the firstborn who are <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:51,408 –> 00:01:55,500
\nenrolled in heaven and to God,
\nthe judge of all, and to the <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:55,500 –> 00:01:59,500
\nspirits of righteous men.
\nMade perfect and to Jesus, the <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:59,500 –> 00:02:03,100
\nmediator of a New Covenant and
\nto the sprinkled blood, which <\/p>\n
23
\n00:02:03,100 –> 00:02:08,300
\nspeaks better than the blood of
\nAbel, and we come to the <\/p>\n
24
\n00:02:08,300 –> 00:02:12,600
\nmountain that Jesus calls us to
\nwhen people see you in your <\/p>\n
25
\n00:02:12,600 –> 00:02:14,200
\ndaily life.
\nWhen people see you in the <\/p>\n
26
\n00:02:14,200 –> 00:02:16,900
\nequation, like, do they see you
\nat the mountain that Jesus <\/p>\n
27
\n00:02:16,900 –> 00:02:22,200
\ncalled you too, and in that
\nwe’ve been considering the life <\/p>\n
28
\n00:02:22,200 –> 00:02:25,900
\nof Joseph and several people
\ncame out and brought up the fact<\/p>\n
29
\n00:02:25,900 –> 00:02:30,800
\nthat all the It’s our manifest
\nthat in the life of Joseph is a <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:30,800 –> 00:02:32,200
\npeacemaker.
\nHe mourned. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:32,200 –> 00:02:34,800
\nHe was persecuted.
\nHe was poor in spirit. <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:35,000 –> 00:02:40,100
\nHe was Meek, how did he do all
\nthat without a list of rules? <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:41,400 –> 00:02:43,400
\nAnd he didn’t have the command,
\nhe didn’t have the Ten <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:43,400 –> 00:02:46,900
\nCommandments he didn’t have most
\nof the Old Testament. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:47,000 –> 00:02:52,600
\nHow was he able to show forth?
\nChrist’s character without <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:52,600 –> 00:02:58,200
\nchecklists?
\nSomehow he did somehow even then<\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:58,600 –> 00:03:05,600
\nJoseph came to this mountain.
\nNow we have to balance this a <\/p>\n
38
\n00:03:05,600 –> 00:03:07,500
\nlittle bit with me.
\nWhat does it mean to come to? <\/p>\n
39
\n00:03:07,508 –> 00:03:11,300
\nThis mountain doesn’t mean that
\neverything is just always <\/p>\n
40
\n00:03:11,300 –> 00:03:15,200
\nsweetness and light.
\nIf you read the next verse in, <\/p>\n
41
\n00:03:15,200 –> 00:03:20,700
\nHebrews chapter 12, see to it
\nthat you do not refuse him. <\/p>\n
42
\n00:03:20,700 –> 00:03:25,300
\nWho is speaking for those did
\nnot Escape when they refused to <\/p>\n
43
\n00:03:25,308 –> 00:03:29,800
\nhim who warned them on Earth.
\nMuch less shall we escape? <\/p>\n
44
\n00:03:30,000 –> 00:03:32,600
\nWho turn away from him who warns
\nfrom heaven? <\/p>\n
45
\n00:03:34,100 –> 00:03:38,700
\nThe last verse in this chapter,
\nour God is a consuming fire. <\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:39,500 –> 00:03:43,500
\nWe are being offered this
\nwonderful Vision. <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:44,000 –> 00:03:49,100
\nThe fact that this is wonderful
\nmeans that if we reject it, we <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:49,100 –> 00:03:53,000
\nFace an even greater consequence
\nthan those who rejected the law <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:53,000 –> 00:03:57,800
\nof Moses.
\nJesus starts to bring this up in<\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:57,800 –> 00:04:01,000
\nMatthew Chapter 5.
\nWhen we saw the verses on salt <\/p>\n
51
\n00:04:01,000 –> 00:04:04,000
\nin life, right?
\nIt’s all fine to talk about a <\/p>\n
52
\n00:04:04,000 –> 00:04:08,200
\nspiritual Concepts, but if
\npeople can’t taste Christ in <\/p>\n
53
\n00:04:08,200 –> 00:04:11,800
\nyou, if people can’t see Christ
\nin you, if you successfully <\/p>\n
54
\n00:04:11,800 –> 00:04:14,100
\nhidden it.
\nSo that none of your co-workers,<\/p>\n
55
\n00:04:14,100 –> 00:04:16,399
\nor your neighbors, know that,
\nthere’s anything different about<\/p>\n
56
\n00:04:16,399 –> 00:04:19,300
\nyou, then what was the point,
\nright? <\/p>\n
57
\n00:04:19,300 –> 00:04:24,200
\nBecomes all academic academic is
\nnot enough academic is The <\/p>\n
58
\n00:04:24,200 –> 00:04:29,600
\nstarting point.
\nAnd then we had the kicker. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:04:31,000 –> 00:04:35,000
\nUnless your righteousness
\nexceeds, the righteousness of <\/p>\n
60
\n00:04:35,000 –> 00:04:38,600
\nthe scribes and Pharisees, you
\nwill, by no means enter the <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:38,600 –> 00:04:41,600
\nkingdom of heaven.
\nAnd we have to put ourselves in <\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:41,600 –> 00:04:47,000
\na historical context and say, to
\nan ordinary Merchant to an <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:47,000 –> 00:04:53,400
\nordinary, you know, Shoemaker in
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:54,700 –> 00:04:59,100
\nThe Pharisees were the Pinnacle
\nof religion. <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:59,500 –> 00:05:02,700
\nThey knew more than anybody.
\nThey tried harder. <\/p>\n
66
\n00:05:02,700 –> 00:05:06,800
\nMore than anybody that they they
\ntaught, right? <\/p>\n
67
\n00:05:06,800 –> 00:05:10,400
\nThey were the teachers, they
\nwere the experts and Jesus is <\/p>\n
68
\n00:05:10,400 –> 00:05:15,700
\nsaying what they’re doing, which
\nyou think is so far above, you <\/p>\n
69
\n00:05:16,100 –> 00:05:20,200
\nis not enough, if all you do is
\nwhat they do, you’re not going <\/p>\n
70
\n00:05:20,200 –> 00:05:25,300
\nto be in the Kingdom.
\nSo that brings us to Matthew <\/p>\n
71
\n00:05:25,300 –> 00:05:31,500
\nchapter 5 verse 21, and Jesus
\nstarts a process of seven ways <\/p>\n
72
\n00:05:31,500 –> 00:05:33,300
\nto be more righteous than a
\nPharisee. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:05:35,200 –> 00:05:38,800
\nAnd the first one is that will
\nshout not to kill one of the Ten<\/p>\n
74
\n00:05:38,800 –> 00:05:39,800
\nCommandments.
\nOkay. <\/p>\n
75
\n00:05:39,800 –> 00:05:44,800
\nRemember Jesus is subtly
\ncontinually making a comparison <\/p>\n
76
\n00:05:44,800 –> 00:05:48,100
\nand a contrast with the Ten
\nCommandments Thou shalt, not <\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:48,100 –> 00:05:54,400
\nkill now Jesus tells us that
\njust not killing people happens <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:54,400 –> 00:05:57,300
\nto not be good enough, right
\nnow. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:57,300 –> 00:06:00,100
\nWe like the law of not killing
\npeople because it’s very <\/p>\n
80
\n00:06:00,100 –> 00:06:02,500
\nmeasurable.
\nAnd I can go to bed at night and<\/p>\n
81
\n00:06:02,500 –> 00:06:07,200
\nI can tell myself today, I did
\nnot kill one single person, <\/p>\n
82
\n00:06:07,700 –> 00:06:11,200
\nright?
\nCheck box, I’m righteous. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:06:11,400 –> 00:06:14,900
\nI have fulfilled the Mosaic law,
\nright? <\/p>\n
84
\n00:06:15,000 –> 00:06:18,500
\nI have become as righteous as
\nthe most righteous Pharisee with<\/p>\n
85
\n00:06:18,500 –> 00:06:22,300
\nrespect to this law and Jesus
\nsays no no, no, no <\/p>\n
86
\n00:06:22,300 –> 00:06:25,400
\nmisunderstanding.
\nThat was just the starting <\/p>\n
87
\n00:06:25,400 –> 00:06:27,900
\npoint.
\nYou can take this concept and <\/p>\n
88
\n00:06:27,900 –> 00:06:32,500
\npush it all the way.
\nHow are your relationships with <\/p>\n
89
\n00:06:32,500 –> 00:06:36,200
\nother people?
\nAnd when I was at, when I was a <\/p>\n
90
\n00:06:36,500 –> 00:06:41,200
\nyoung man in the faith, I had
\nvisions of, you know, battling <\/p>\n
91
\n00:06:41,200 –> 00:06:45,100
\npeople over the Trinity and and
\nhaving these great, you know, <\/p>\n
92
\n00:06:46,200 –> 00:06:50,000
\nintellectual skirmishes with
\nwith people of other faiths. <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:50,800 –> 00:06:55,900
\nAnd what I’ve realized is the
\nhardest thing in my walk has <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:55,900 –> 00:06:58,400
\nbeen getting along with other
\npeople. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:59,300 –> 00:07:05,600
\nKeeping relationships, positive
\nhealthy, constructive is so <\/p>\n
96
\n00:07:05,600 –> 00:07:08,900
\nhard, right?
\nWe underestimate how hard that <\/p>\n
97
\n00:07:08,900 –> 00:07:18,100
\nis and is Ezra and Zion back
\nwhen they used to be able to <\/p>\n
98
\n00:07:18,100 –> 00:07:19,800
\nwalk along together and hold
\nhands. <\/p>\n
99
\n00:07:19,800 –> 00:07:21,100
\nThat’s okay.
\nThere’s still hope <\/p>\n
100
\n00:07:21,100 –> 00:07:25,800
\nrelationships.
\nBut Jesus says, you know, if you<\/p>\n
101
\n00:07:25,800 –> 00:07:29,200
\ngo to present your gift at the
\naltar and you remember that, <\/p>\n
102
\n00:07:29,200 –> 00:07:34,900
\nyour brother has off against
\nyou, you put that aside and we <\/p>\n
103
\n00:07:34,900 –> 00:07:37,700
\ndon’t, we don’t do gifts before
\nthe altar in quite the same way.<\/p>\n
104
\n00:07:37,700 –> 00:07:42,500
\nBut what we can say, is there
\nare ecclesial functions in a <\/p>\n
105
\n00:07:42,500 –> 00:07:45,300
\ncollegial.
\nIan’s, there are ceremonial <\/p>\n
106
\n00:07:45,300 –> 00:07:50,400
\nparts of our religious life.
\nAnd if we are putting those <\/p>\n
107
\n00:07:50,400 –> 00:07:54,800
\nahead of our personal
\nrelationships, we are in big <\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:54,800 –> 00:07:58,300
\ntrouble.
\nWe think it’s important to do <\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:58,300 –> 00:08:03,200
\nthe things of the Ecclesia and
\nit is, but it’s not as important<\/p>\n
110
\n00:08:03,600 –> 00:08:06,200
\nas your relationships with other
\npeople. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:08:06,200 –> 00:08:09,500
\nAnd if there’s something you can
\ndo for your relationships that <\/p>\n
112
\n00:08:09,500 –> 00:08:12,300
\nwins over your equation
\nresponsibilities. <\/p>\n
113
\n00:08:12,300 –> 00:08:15,900
\nIf there’s something you can do
\nfor your family, that wins if <\/p>\n
114
\n00:08:15,900 –> 00:08:19,300
\nthat’s counterintuitive.
\nThat’s not what our expectation <\/p>\n
115
\n00:08:19,300 –> 00:08:26,300
\nwould be.
\nL shall not commit adultery. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:08:27,200 –> 00:08:31,500
\nNow, we have, you know, David
\nand Bathsheba, you know, Samson <\/p>\n
117
\n00:08:31,500 –> 00:08:35,200
\nand Delilah.
\nJesus brings up the eyes in this<\/p>\n
118
\n00:08:35,200 –> 00:08:39,200
\nchapter.
\nI say to you, everyone who looks<\/p>\n
119
\n00:08:39,299 –> 00:08:43,100
\non a woman to lust after her has
\ncommitted adultery with her <\/p>\n
120
\n00:08:43,100 –> 00:08:48,100
\nalready in his heart.
\nAnd and and we see with David, <\/p>\n
121
\n00:08:48,100 –> 00:08:49,900
\nright?
\nHe was up on the palace and he <\/p>\n
122
\n00:08:49,900 –> 00:08:52,400
\nlooks and we see in this in the
\nstory of Samson. <\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:52,600 –> 00:08:56,700
\nHe looked, and it set off a
\nchain of events, which resulted <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:56,700 –> 00:09:01,200
\nin actual, you know, over sin,
\nwhich is undeniable and visible <\/p>\n
125
\n00:09:01,200 –> 00:09:04,500
\nto everyone.
\nAnd Jesus is saying he that <\/p>\n
126
\n00:09:04,500 –> 00:09:06,800
\nhappens and that’s terrible and
\nthat should never happen. <\/p>\n
127
\n00:09:07,000 –> 00:09:12,600
\nBut you can fail in this way and
\nit can all just be in your head.<\/p>\n
128
\n00:09:13,500 –> 00:09:17,300
\nIt is not enough to just do with
\nthe Ten Commandments. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:09:17,300 –> 00:09:21,400
\nSay, you have to elevate your
\ngame and there’s an equivalence <\/p>\n
130
\n00:09:21,400 –> 00:09:25,500
\nhere, which is Is absolutely
\nterrifying, right? <\/p>\n
131
\n00:09:25,600 –> 00:09:31,500
\nJesus says, everyone who looks
\nat a woman to lust after her has<\/p>\n
132
\n00:09:31,800 –> 00:09:35,500
\ncommitted adultery with her in
\nhis heart. <\/p>\n
133
\n00:09:36,400 –> 00:09:41,200
\nAnd when we assess the relative,
\nyou know, weights and severities<\/p>\n
134
\n00:09:41,200 –> 00:09:44,700
\nof sins, like, do we put those
\nin the same category? <\/p>\n
135
\n00:09:45,400 –> 00:09:48,500
\nThe people who have committed
\nadultery and the people who have<\/p>\n
136
\n00:09:48,600 –> 00:09:51,400
\nlusted in their minds?
\nDo we rank those? <\/p>\n
137
\n00:09:51,400 –> 00:09:54,100
\nThe same because Jesus is
\nputting those in the same <\/p>\n
138
\n00:09:54,100 –> 00:09:57,500
\ncategory.
\nDo we treat the people in our <\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:57,500 –> 00:09:59,800
\ncommunity who have failed in
\nthis way? <\/p>\n
140
\n00:10:00,700 –> 00:10:05,500
\nEqually if they have failed in
\neither of the waist, A little <\/p>\n
141
\n00:10:05,500 –> 00:10:11,500
\nbit unsettling.
\nAnd then he says, if your right <\/p>\n
142
\n00:10:11,500 –> 00:10:16,100
\neye makes you stumble pluck it
\nout and throw it from you. <\/p>\n
143
\n00:10:17,800 –> 00:10:20,300
\nAnd this one, I struggle with
\nbecause I’ve been walking around<\/p>\n
144
\n00:10:20,300 –> 00:10:26,000
\nagain and I haven’t seen anybody
\nmissing any eyes and yet here is<\/p>\n
145
\n00:10:26,000 –> 00:10:30,000
\na commandment of Christ and here
\nis a righteous Community <\/p>\n
146
\n00:10:30,000 –> 00:10:35,000
\ndedicated to the service and the
\nstudy of scripture and somehow, <\/p>\n
147
\n00:10:35,000 –> 00:10:40,600
\nwe we read this verse and we
\nautomatically assume that Low <\/p>\n
148
\n00:10:40,600 –> 00:10:44,800
\nblow.
\nJesus, can’t mean that literally<\/p>\n
149
\n00:10:49,700 –> 00:10:56,000
\nYes, I suppose, but he did say
\nit, and he said it for a reason.<\/p>\n
150
\n00:10:56,100 –> 00:10:59,400
\nAnd if you had to actually look
\nat it technically and say, look,<\/p>\n
151
\n00:11:00,200 –> 00:11:02,800
\nI’ll trade you, I’ll make a
\ntrade with you, we’re gonna <\/p>\n
152
\n00:11:02,800 –> 00:11:06,200
\npluck out your right eye and,
\nand you’re in the Kingdom. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:11:06,800 –> 00:11:11,900
\nWould you take that trade?
\nI sure would I’d be in there. <\/p>\n
154
\n00:11:11,900 –> 00:11:14,400
\nMight like if Jesus Christ
\nshowed up to you today and said <\/p>\n
155
\n00:11:14,400 –> 00:11:17,700
\nlook step through it, like it’s
\ngoing to cost you your right. <\/p>\n
156
\n00:11:17,700 –> 00:11:20,300
\nI go through that door, you’re
\nbeing the kingdom. <\/p>\n
157
\n00:11:20,900 –> 00:11:24,700
\nI think most of us would take
\nthat and that’s what Jesus says <\/p>\n
158
\n00:11:24,700 –> 00:11:27,200
\nthat’s the suit is saying like
\nare you willing to do that? <\/p>\n
159
\n00:11:27,200 –> 00:11:28,600
\nYou say you’re willing to do
\nthat. <\/p>\n
160
\n00:11:28,700 –> 00:11:31,200
\nAnd yet here I am looking
\nlooking for none of us have done<\/p>\n
161
\n00:11:31,200 –> 00:11:35,000
\nthat.
\nOkay, so what I can do is is <\/p>\n
162
\n00:11:35,000 –> 00:11:39,800
\ndoing here is what I call
\nemphasis by extremism and This <\/p>\n
163
\n00:11:39,800 –> 00:11:45,300
\nis going to come up over and
\nover in here and I’m not sure <\/p>\n
164
\n00:11:45,400 –> 00:11:47,700
\nI’m actually not.
\nI have to say, I don’t think <\/p>\n
165
\n00:11:47,700 –> 00:11:50,600
\nJesus means for us all to be
\nplugging our eyes though. <\/p>\n
166
\n00:11:51,400 –> 00:11:57,000
\nBut what he is saying is you
\nmust take radical <\/p>\n
167
\n00:11:57,600 –> 00:12:02,200
\ncounterintuitive action, against
\nsin in your life. <\/p>\n
168
\n00:12:03,100 –> 00:12:06,600
\nIt isn’t just enough to say, oh,
\nI’ve just this little checkbox. <\/p>\n
169
\n00:12:06,600 –> 00:12:09,600
\nNo, you have to do things that
\npeople in. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:12:09,700 –> 00:12:14,300
\nHe would consider absurd, right?
\nLike if we started walking <\/p>\n
171
\n00:12:14,300 –> 00:12:17,000
\naround town with, you know, and
\nmost of us were missing, eyes <\/p>\n
172
\n00:12:17,000 –> 00:12:19,500
\npeople go.
\nThat is a crazy cult. <\/p>\n
173
\n00:12:20,800 –> 00:12:26,000
\nThat is a crazy cult, right?
\nBut Jesus says crazy stuff and <\/p>\n
174
\n00:12:26,000 –> 00:12:28,800
\nwe forget about it because we’re
\nso used to it, right? <\/p>\n
175
\n00:12:28,800 –> 00:12:32,100
\nBut it had, Jesus said, eat my
\nflesh and were like, oh yeah, <\/p>\n
176
\n00:12:32,100 –> 00:12:33,600
\nthat’s great.
\nWe do that every Sunday know <\/p>\n
177
\n00:12:33,600 –> 00:12:37,400
\npeople walked away from Jesus
\nbecause that is an absurd <\/p>\n
178
\n00:12:37,400 –> 00:12:40,500
\nconcept, right?
\nYou’re a and of cannibalism. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:12:40,500 –> 00:12:42,700
\nI just that is so bizarre,
\nright? <\/p>\n
180
\n00:12:42,700 –> 00:12:45,500
\nBut Jesus says, because he’s
\ntrying to get your attention, <\/p>\n
181
\n00:12:45,800 –> 00:12:49,000
\nhe’s trying to tell you, look,
\ntake this seriously. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:12:49,000 –> 00:12:53,900
\nThis is a radical religion.
\nThis isn’t just the walk around <\/p>\n
183
\n00:12:53,900 –> 00:12:57,100
\nevery day and no fit in with
\neverybody else. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:13:02,200 –> 00:13:06,400
\nSo if we’re not going to pluck
\nout our eyes, you know, if <\/p>\n
185
\n00:13:06,400 –> 00:13:11,300
\nyou’re on a diet, this should
\nnot be on your counter in your <\/p>\n
186
\n00:13:11,300 –> 00:13:13,200
\nkitchen.
\nAll right? <\/p>\n
187
\n00:13:13,800 –> 00:13:17,000
\nBecause you know that if you’re
\non a diet and this is on the <\/p>\n
188
\n00:13:17,008 –> 00:13:23,000
\ncounter, in your kitchen, you’ll
\nbe okay for an hour and you may <\/p>\n
189
\n00:13:23,000 –> 00:13:28,500
\nbe okay for two hours and if
\nyou’re strong you may be okay <\/p>\n
190
\n00:13:28,500 –> 00:13:33,700
\nfor six hours, but if this is on
\nyour counter when you’re on a <\/p>\n
191
\n00:13:33,708 –> 00:13:37,800
\ndiet, it is inevitable that you
\nwill succumb. <\/p>\n
192
\n00:13:38,600 –> 00:13:45,300
\nIt is impossible for you to
\nsustain yourself, will long <\/p>\n
193
\n00:13:45,300 –> 00:13:49,100
\nenough indefinitely and this
\nspeaks to what, brother, Nathan <\/p>\n
194
\n00:13:49,100 –> 00:13:53,100
\ntalked about last night, right?
\nLike if we think of these as we <\/p>\n
195
\n00:13:53,200 –> 00:13:57,300
\nwrite, if you just leave them
\nthere and you just ignore them. <\/p>\n
196
\n00:13:57,400 –> 00:14:01,300
\nAnd you don’t proactively, try
\nto remove the things from your <\/p>\n
197
\n00:14:01,300 –> 00:14:05,100
\nlife, that cross-contaminate.
\nThen you’re going to wake up one<\/p>\n
198
\n00:14:05,100 –> 00:14:08,300
\nmorning and it’s just, it’s all
\ngoing to be weak. <\/p>\n
199
\n00:14:08,400 –> 00:14:15,900
\nEat.
\nAnd there’s a well let me let me<\/p>\n
200
\n00:14:16,200 –> 00:14:19,100
\njump to this next one first and
\nI’ll come back to that. <\/p>\n
201
\n00:14:20,200 –> 00:14:24,900
\nWe have anger and we have lost
\nthe two Commandments that Jesus <\/p>\n
202
\n00:14:24,900 –> 00:14:28,600
\nis leaving too.
\nAnd in each case, we have a <\/p>\n
203
\n00:14:28,600 –> 00:14:32,400
\ndomino effect, right?
\nWhere you had a small thing that<\/p>\n
204
\n00:14:32,400 –> 00:14:35,200
\nturned into a bigger thing to
\nturn into a bigger thing and <\/p>\n
205
\n00:14:35,200 –> 00:14:38,800
\neventually in somebody’s dead or
\na marriage is destroyed. <\/p>\n
206
\n00:14:39,400 –> 00:14:44,800
\nSo, This is the weeds concept,
\ncatch it early, right? <\/p>\n
207
\n00:14:44,800 –> 00:14:48,700
\nIf you don’t catch it early, if
\nyou don’t take it, seriously <\/p>\n
208
\n00:14:48,700 –> 00:14:52,900
\nwhen it’s small, you’re going to
\nhave a disaster when it’s big <\/p>\n
209
\n00:14:53,500 –> 00:14:56,700
\nand I read a book, I highly
\nrecommend it. <\/p>\n
210
\n00:14:56,700 –> 00:15:01,100
\nIt’s called Thinking Fast and
\nSlow by Jewish men named, Daniel<\/p>\n
211
\n00:15:01,100 –> 00:15:08,500
\nKahneman, and they examined.
\nPeople who are in the midst of <\/p>\n
212
\n00:15:10,000 –> 00:15:14,700
\nyou might call it lost or rage
\nor like when somebody’s lost <\/p>\n
213
\n00:15:14,700 –> 00:15:17,500
\ntheir temper, if you have kids,
\nyou see a kid throws a temper, <\/p>\n
214
\n00:15:17,500 –> 00:15:18,100
\ntantrum.
\nOkay. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:15:18,400 –> 00:15:22,200
\nThat same thing happens to us
\neven as adults just manifest a <\/p>\n
216
\n00:15:22,208 –> 00:15:26,000
\nlittle bit differently, but if
\nyou let your anger cross a <\/p>\n
217
\n00:15:26,000 –> 00:15:30,500
\ncertain threshold, you become
\nentirely unreasonable. <\/p>\n
218
\n00:15:32,200 –> 00:15:36,100
\nAnd so they test these people
\nwho are in the midst of anger <\/p>\n
219
\n00:15:36,700 –> 00:15:40,800
\nand they make statements that
\nare absurd that in their normal <\/p>\n
220
\n00:15:40,800 –> 00:15:42,800
\nselves, they would, they would
\nnever do such a thing. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:15:42,800 –> 00:15:47,100
\nAnd this is why you get people
\nwho have temporary insanity, <\/p>\n
222
\n00:15:47,100 –> 00:15:48,300
\nright?
\nThey don’t get the same <\/p>\n
223
\n00:15:48,300 –> 00:15:53,000
\nconsequence for a murder.
\nWhen you’re under the influence <\/p>\n
224
\n00:15:53,000 –> 00:15:56,300
\nof passion, because there’s an
\nunderstanding in law. <\/p>\n
225
\n00:15:56,300 –> 00:15:58,500
\nThat once you’re under the
\ninfluence of passion, you <\/p>\n
226
\n00:15:58,500 –> 00:16:03,200
\nbasically become an animal And
\nin their research, they said <\/p>\n
227
\n00:16:03,200 –> 00:16:05,400
\nwell what can we do?
\nWhat can we do to help these <\/p>\n
228
\n00:16:05,400 –> 00:16:07,100
\npeople.
\nSo that, when they’re in their <\/p>\n
229
\n00:16:07,100 –> 00:16:12,100
\npassion, they don’t go off and
\ndo these terrible life <\/p>\n
230
\n00:16:12,100 –> 00:16:15,800
\ndestroying things, whether it’s
\nadultery, whether it’s murder or<\/p>\n
231
\n00:16:15,800 –> 00:16:19,000
\nviolence, people do this.
\nHow do we stop them? <\/p>\n
232
\n00:16:19,500 –> 00:16:21,600
\nAnd they tried all kinds of
\nthings. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:16:21,600 –> 00:16:26,300
\nAnd what they discovered is,
\nthere is no way to stop. <\/p>\n
234
\n00:16:27,100 –> 00:16:31,900
\nOkay, once you’re in that rage,
\nonce you’re in that position, <\/p>\n
235
\n00:16:32,000 –> 00:16:34,800
\nPassion.
\nYou are literally unreasonable. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:16:35,300 –> 00:16:38,400
\nYou cannot be reasoned with and
\nany of you who tried to reason <\/p>\n
237
\n00:16:38,400 –> 00:16:40,300
\nwith a childhood middle of a
\ntemper tantrum. <\/p>\n
238
\n00:16:40,300 –> 00:16:43,000
\nNo, there’s nothing.
\nYou can say, you can’t explain <\/p>\n
239
\n00:16:43,200 –> 00:16:46,000
\nthe only thing you can do is
\nwait, wait for this moment to <\/p>\n
240
\n00:16:46,000 –> 00:16:50,300
\npass because your brain is
\nliterally in a different state, <\/p>\n
241
\n00:16:51,200 –> 00:16:54,300
\nand it’s absolutely terrifying.
\nBecause there’s there’s nothing <\/p>\n
242
\n00:16:54,300 –> 00:16:56,900
\nwe can do to, even we can read
\nscripture, we can do whatever. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:16:56,900 –> 00:16:59,200
\nIf you let yourself get into a
\npassion. <\/p>\n
244
\n00:17:01,100 –> 00:17:04,099
\nWhatever kind of passion, you
\nbecome a different creature. <\/p>\n
245
\n00:17:04,599 –> 00:17:09,700
\nThe only solution is don’t go
\nthere in the first place. <\/p>\n
246
\n00:17:10,400 –> 00:17:13,599
\nDon’t let yourself be built up
\ninto anger. <\/p>\n
247
\n00:17:13,599 –> 00:17:16,200
\nDon’t let yourself be built up
\ninto lust. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:17:16,300 –> 00:17:17,900
\nThat’s what Jesus is trying to
\ntell you. <\/p>\n
249
\n00:17:17,900 –> 00:17:21,599
\nHe’s like, stop this early.
\nDon’t try to wait till the last <\/p>\n
250
\n00:17:21,599 –> 00:17:24,000
\nminute and then say, Oh no, I’m
\nnot going to commit adultery, it<\/p>\n
251
\n00:17:24,000 –> 00:17:27,099
\nwasn’t really adultery, he got
\nto catch it early. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:17:30,100 –> 00:17:34,500
\nSo this is clearly a pattern
\ndeveloping here but let’s learn <\/p>\n
253
\n00:17:34,500 –> 00:17:37,300
\nsome of the lessons from.
\nJust these two first ones. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:17:37,300 –> 00:17:41,800
\nProper relationships are crucial
\nslippery, slopes are slippery <\/p>\n
255
\n00:17:42,200 –> 00:17:44,100
\nand matters, right?
\nCatch things early. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:17:44,200 –> 00:17:46,200
\nWe didn’t actually coordinate
\nthe evening program. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:17:46,200 –> 00:17:49,400
\nReally grateful for that last
\nnight with anything words, <\/p>\n
258
\n00:17:49,400 –> 00:17:52,800
\nmatter, right.
\nWhoever has said, you fool, you <\/p>\n
259
\n00:17:52,800 –> 00:17:56,300
\nknow, as anybody ever said
\nanything unpleasant to anybody, <\/p>\n
260
\n00:17:56,900 –> 00:18:02,000
\nyeah, everybody.
\nDrastic action is called for we <\/p>\n
261
\n00:18:02,000 –> 00:18:07,500
\nbelong to a radical religion.
\nIf our lives are not radical and<\/p>\n
262
\n00:18:07,500 –> 00:18:11,100
\nunintuitive and counterintuitive
\nto an observer and we’re not <\/p>\n
263
\n00:18:11,100 –> 00:18:15,900
\ndoing it right?
\nSo, let’s come back to the <\/p>\n
264
\n00:18:15,900 –> 00:18:19,400
\ntheme.
\nHow does this, you know, how can<\/p>\n
265
\n00:18:19,400 –> 00:18:22,200
\nI be more righteous than the
\nPharisees? <\/p>\n
266
\n00:18:22,400 –> 00:18:25,600
\nSo Jesus, as you see is is
\ncontrasting. <\/p>\n
267
\n00:18:25,800 –> 00:18:30,400
\nYou have heard, but I say to you
\nmy, so he’s putting the two <\/p>\n
268
\n00:18:30,400 –> 00:18:33,900
\nconcepts together.
\nAnd the first thing is bringing <\/p>\n
269
\n00:18:33,900 –> 00:18:38,300
\nup is that we see the law as a
\nlimit, right? <\/p>\n
270
\n00:18:38,300 –> 00:18:41,800
\nThere’s a line and you should
\nstay on this side of the line, <\/p>\n
271
\n00:18:42,800 –> 00:18:45,300
\nbut what happens when you have a
\nlying, right? <\/p>\n
272
\n00:18:45,700 –> 00:18:49,600
\nYou walk Ray.
\nAlongside that line. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:18:50,500 –> 00:18:53,100
\nAnd Jesus is telling you don’t
\ndo that. <\/p>\n
274
\n00:18:53,100 –> 00:18:54,700
\nWhen there’s a line you turned
\nup. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:18:54,700 –> 00:18:58,000
\nYou’ll be, you know, opposite
\nway of the line. <\/p>\n
276
\n00:18:58,000 –> 00:19:01,400
\nHe try to stay as far away from
\nthe line as possible. <\/p>\n
277
\n00:19:01,900 –> 00:19:04,200
\nWe’re not just trying to cross
\nthe line, we’re trying to cross <\/p>\n
278
\n00:19:04,200 –> 00:19:07,500
\nthe line and then keep moving
\nindefinitely. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:19:10,200 –> 00:19:16,400
\nThe other interesting point
\nJesus makes everyone Who is <\/p>\n
280
\n00:19:16,400 –> 00:19:18,800
\nangry with his brother will be
\nliable. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:19:19,000 –> 00:19:22,800
\nEveryone who is angry with his
\nbrother. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:19:24,100 –> 00:19:26,100
\nAnd everyone in this room has
\nbeen angered. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:19:26,500 –> 00:19:31,500
\nHis brother, everyone who looks
\nat a woman with lust has <\/p>\n
284
\n00:19:31,500 –> 00:19:38,300
\ncommitted adultery everyone When
\nwe think legalistically, we have<\/p>\n
285
\n00:19:38,300 –> 00:19:42,400
\nthis little hierarchy of who’s
\ndone which sins and which ones <\/p>\n
286
\n00:19:42,400 –> 00:19:45,400
\nare worse than others and and
\nwhere we are, and how we <\/p>\n
287
\n00:19:45,400 –> 00:19:47,500
\ncompare.
\nAnd you all know it, we all know<\/p>\n
288
\n00:19:47,500 –> 00:19:51,800
\nit, we track it, it’s not the
\nway Jesus thinks. <\/p>\n
289
\n00:19:53,200 –> 00:19:56,700
\nWhen Jesus looks at this room,
\nhe says everyone. <\/p>\n
290
\n00:19:57,800 –> 00:20:01,800
\nHas committed murder and
\neveryone has committed adultery.<\/p>\n
291
\n00:20:02,200 –> 00:20:05,100
\nYou sitting in a room full of
\nmurderers and adulterers. <\/p>\n
292
\n00:20:08,000 –> 00:20:13,800
\nHow does that effect?
\nAnd so we have a really <\/p>\n
293
\n00:20:13,800 –> 00:20:16,800
\ninteresting comment concept that
\nJesus puts forward here. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:20:16,800 –> 00:20:21,800
\nThe keeping the law is not
\nactually the definition of <\/p>\n
295
\n00:20:21,800 –> 00:20:25,200
\nrighteousness, right?
\nThe Pharisees have been have <\/p>\n
296
\n00:20:25,200 –> 00:20:27,400
\nbeen approaching their religion
\nthis way. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:20:28,600 –> 00:20:32,200
\nAnd he says no, you can do it.
\nYou can do those two, Ten <\/p>\n
298
\n00:20:32,200 –> 00:20:35,400
\nCommandments and not be a
\nrighteous person. <\/p>\n
299
\n00:20:35,900 –> 00:20:38,800
\nAnd the problem I had to get at
\nleast one sort of computer, ish,<\/p>\n
300
\n00:20:38,800 –> 00:20:45,200
\nkind of slide up here, but this
\nis binary 1 or 0, right? <\/p>\n
301
\n00:20:45,200 –> 00:20:48,600
\nAnd Jesus, is saying,
\nrighteousness is not binary. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:20:48,900 –> 00:20:54,700
\nIt’s not like true or false
\nblack or white, Righteousness. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:20:54,700 –> 00:20:57,700
\nAnd this is a very featureless
\nlife, but actually what we have <\/p>\n
304
\n00:20:57,700 –> 00:21:00,000
\ndone at the bottom is complete
\ndarkness. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:21:01,000 –> 00:21:03,200
\nAnd what we have at the top is
\ncomplete light. <\/p>\n
306
\n00:21:05,600 –> 00:21:11,800
\nAnd righteousness is up there
\nand we are not. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:21:12,500 –> 00:21:17,200
\nWe are somewhere in here and
\neach of us are in different <\/p>\n
308
\n00:21:17,200 –> 00:21:20,000
\nplaces in each of us in
\ndifferent aspects of like maybe <\/p>\n
309
\n00:21:20,000 –> 00:21:22,300
\nan anger control.
\nSome of us were over here in the<\/p>\n
310
\n00:21:22,308 –> 00:21:24,900
\nmaybe in gluttony.
\nSome some of us are over, there <\/p>\n
311
\n00:21:25,100 –> 00:21:27,500
\nmay be in love, some of us are
\nover here, right? <\/p>\n
312
\n00:21:27,600 –> 00:21:32,100
\nIt’s you you’re never done with
\nsome scriptural principles. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:21:32,600 –> 00:21:35,100
\nYou’re just somewhere on this
\nscale. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:21:36,400 –> 00:21:37,900
\nAnd you still have somewhere to
\ngo. <\/p>\n
315
\n00:21:44,600 –> 00:21:48,600
\nThere’s another.
\nSort of philosophical technical <\/p>\n
316
\n00:21:48,600 –> 00:21:53,900
\nquestion here, which is, is
\nJesus establishing a new law <\/p>\n
317
\n00:21:54,100 –> 00:21:57,200
\nwhen we have the law of Moses
\nand it’s described on the Ten <\/p>\n
318
\n00:21:57,200 –> 00:21:59,900
\nCommandments and we just read a
\nwhole bunch of Commandments. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:22:00,500 –> 00:22:03,900
\nA whole bunch of additional
\nCommandments on top of the <\/p>\n
320
\n00:22:03,908 –> 00:22:05,700
\nCommandments that are in the law
\nof Moses. <\/p>\n
321
\n00:22:08,000 –> 00:22:12,100
\nIs this a new law is this law
\n2.0 gets the second computer. <\/p>\n
322
\n00:22:14,800 –> 00:22:17,000
\nDeuteronomy says, everything
\nthat I command you. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:22:17,000 –> 00:22:20,400
\nYou shall be careful to do.
\nYou shall not add to it? <\/p>\n
324
\n00:22:21,400 –> 00:22:23,600
\nThat’s interesting.
\nThe law itself suggests that you<\/p>\n
325
\n00:22:23,600 –> 00:22:26,300
\nshouldn’t add to it or take from
\nit. <\/p>\n
326
\n00:22:28,700 –> 00:22:32,500
\nIn Romans, it says the law of
\nthe spirit of life in Christ. <\/p>\n
327
\n00:22:32,500 –> 00:22:39,000
\nJesus has Set Me Free from the
\nlaw of sin and death. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:22:41,400 –> 00:22:48,800
\nThe law of sin and death.
\nSo, the question is, did the <\/p>\n
329
\n00:22:48,800 –> 00:22:51,400
\ntablets that came down from
\nMount Sinai? <\/p>\n
330
\n00:22:51,400 –> 00:22:53,900
\nDid they have the wrong words on
\nthem? <\/p>\n
331
\n00:22:54,900 –> 00:22:59,900
\nIt’s a weird thought experiment.
\nBut you go if we had taken the <\/p>\n
332
\n00:22:59,900 –> 00:23:03,700
\nwords from Matthew Chapter 5 and
\nthe other Commandments of Christ<\/p>\n
333
\n00:23:03,700 –> 00:23:07,800
\nand we had chiseled, those onto
\nthe tablets way back when and <\/p>\n
334
\n00:23:07,800 –> 00:23:10,900
\nMoses it come down with those
\nwords on the tablets. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:23:11,300 –> 00:23:16,100
\nWould it have all been fine?
\nWould that have solved the <\/p>\n
336
\n00:23:16,100 –> 00:23:21,100
\nproblem?
\nAnd instinctively, you know, <\/p>\n
337
\n00:23:22,000 –> 00:23:25,700
\nknow, right, like that would
\nhave eliminated the need for <\/p>\n
338
\n00:23:25,700 –> 00:23:30,400
\nChrist.
\nSo, there’s an interesting thing<\/p>\n
339
\n00:23:30,400 –> 00:23:32,300
\nthat we have to wrestle with
\nhere. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:23:34,600 –> 00:23:39,400
\nRomans 8:3 says for what the law
\ncould not do weak as it was <\/p>\n
341
\n00:23:39,700 –> 00:23:43,400
\nthrough the flesh.
\nYou see, the problem isn’t the <\/p>\n
342
\n00:23:43,400 –> 00:23:47,100
\nwords on the tablets.
\nThe problem is the Flesh and the<\/p>\n
343
\n00:23:47,100 –> 00:23:49,700
\nflesh is still with us.
\nNo matter what words you write <\/p>\n
344
\n00:23:49,700 –> 00:23:54,600
\non the tablets, the flesh is
\nstill here and we have to remind<\/p>\n
345
\n00:23:54,600 –> 00:23:56,800
\nourselves of that because
\nsometimes we come across <\/p>\n
346
\n00:23:56,800 –> 00:23:59,500
\nproblems in our community and in
\nour lives and we think to <\/p>\n
347
\n00:23:59,508 –> 00:24:02,300
\nourselves, you know what, the
\nsolution to this is, we need to <\/p>\n
348
\n00:24:02,300 –> 00:24:04,300
\nwrite something down on a piece
\nof paper. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:24:04,500 –> 00:24:07,400
\nWe need to post it on the wall
\nand all of our problems will be <\/p>\n
350
\n00:24:07,400 –> 00:24:10,100
\ngone.
\nDoesn’t work that way, right? <\/p>\n
351
\n00:24:10,200 –> 00:24:14,800
\nThe problem is in the flesh.
\nIs the law then against the <\/p>\n
352
\n00:24:14,800 –> 00:24:19,200
\npromises of God, certainly not.
\nIf there had been a law given <\/p>\n
353
\n00:24:19,300 –> 00:24:24,000
\nwhich was able to impart life.
\nIf such a thing existed, such a <\/p>\n
354
\n00:24:24,008 –> 00:24:28,500
\nformula of words existed, truly
\nrighteousness would have been by<\/p>\n
355
\n00:24:28,500 –> 00:24:32,800
\nthe law.
\nIf there had been words that <\/p>\n
356
\n00:24:32,800 –> 00:24:35,500
\ncould have done it, God would
\nhave put those words on the Ten <\/p>\n
357
\n00:24:35,500 –> 00:24:37,900
\nCommandments and that would have
\nsolved the problem. <\/p>\n
358
\n00:24:38,900 –> 00:24:45,200
\nBut the problem is laws and the
\nwords cannot solve it Now that <\/p>\n
359
\n00:24:45,200 –> 00:24:47,300
\nno one is justified by the law
\nbefore. <\/p>\n
360
\n00:24:47,300 –> 00:24:52,400
\nGod is evident for the righteous
\nman shall live by faith. <\/p>\n
361
\n00:24:53,600 –> 00:24:57,500
\nHowever, the law is not a faith
\non the contrary he who practices<\/p>\n
362
\n00:24:57,500 –> 00:25:03,400
\nthem shall live by them.
\nRomans 10, verses 3 and 4 for <\/p>\n
363
\n00:25:03,400 –> 00:25:06,100
\nnot knowing about God’s
\nrighteousness and seeking to <\/p>\n
364
\n00:25:06,100 –> 00:25:10,700
\nestablish their own.
\nThey did not subject themselves <\/p>\n
365
\n00:25:10,700 –> 00:25:16,600
\nto the righteousness of God.
\nFor Christ is the end of the law<\/p>\n
366
\n00:25:16,600 –> 00:25:20,000
\nfor righteousness.
\nChrist, is the end of the law <\/p>\n
367
\n00:25:20,000 –> 00:25:24,500
\nfor righteousness to everyone
\nWho believes? <\/p>\n
368
\n00:25:30,000 –> 00:25:32,800
\nWe’re going to read a lot more
\nin this chapter. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:25:32,800 –> 00:25:35,700
\nWe’re going to encounter a lot
\nmore Commandments. <\/p>\n
370
\n00:25:35,700 –> 00:25:39,800
\nWe’re going to encounter
\nordinances and statutes and all <\/p>\n
371
\n00:25:39,800 –> 00:25:42,700
\nthe same sense that we find them
\nin the Old Testament. <\/p>\n
372
\n00:25:42,700 –> 00:25:47,700
\nBut we have to recognize, this
\nis not law of Moses 2.0. <\/p>\n
373
\n00:25:48,000 –> 00:25:51,000
\nThere is a qualitative
\ndifference between the <\/p>\n
374
\n00:25:51,000 –> 00:25:54,400
\nCommandments of Christ and the
\nCommandments of Moses. <\/p>\n
375
\n00:25:58,500 –> 00:26:05,600
\nSo, let’s jump to the next one.
\nLet him divorce. <\/p>\n
376
\n00:26:07,500 –> 00:26:11,500
\nVerse 31, it was said, whoever
\nsends his wife away. <\/p>\n
377
\n00:26:11,500 –> 00:26:14,600
\nLet him give her a certificate
\nof divorce. <\/p>\n
378
\n00:26:15,700 –> 00:26:18,700
\nNow this one’s interesting
\nbecause if you actually look <\/p>\n
379
\n00:26:18,700 –> 00:26:22,700
\nthrough all the different
\nsections in this chapter, pretty<\/p>\n
380
\n00:26:22,700 –> 00:26:26,200
\nmuch all of them.
\nIf you, if you look at them, <\/p>\n
381
\n00:26:26,300 –> 00:26:30,400
\nsincerely your you’ll go.
\nIt is impossible for me to fully<\/p>\n
382
\n00:26:30,400 –> 00:26:34,600
\nlive up to the things in this
\nsection, you know, is it, can I <\/p>\n
383
\n00:26:34,600 –> 00:26:39,800
\nreally never be angry, can I
\nreally Never Last Can-Can my yes<\/p>\n
384
\n00:26:39,800 –> 00:26:44,000
\nbe yes, really like every single
\ntime, like if there’s a whole <\/p>\n
385
\n00:26:44,000 –> 00:26:47,500
\nlist of impossible commands in
\nthis chapter, and this one kind <\/p>\n
386
\n00:26:47,500 –> 00:26:51,300
\nof jumped out at me is like, I
\nthink I can get through life <\/p>\n
387
\n00:26:51,300 –> 00:26:57,400
\nwithout divorce, you know, and I
\nhave it easy easy for me, it <\/p>\n
388
\n00:26:57,400 –> 00:27:03,100
\nwhether whether most feels the
\nsame way, but one thing to <\/p>\n
389
\n00:27:03,100 –> 00:27:05,500
\nunderstand here is the cultural
\ncontext. <\/p>\n
390
\n00:27:06,300 –> 00:27:10,200
\nWhen the subject of divorce
\ncomes up elsewhere in Matthew <\/p>\n
391
\n00:27:10,700 –> 00:27:16,300
\nand Jesus says no divorce not a
\ngood not a good thing to do and <\/p>\n
392
\n00:27:16,300 –> 00:27:23,100
\nhis disciples these righteous
\nmen say if such is the case of <\/p>\n
393
\n00:27:23,100 –> 00:27:26,000
\nthe man with his wife it is
\nbetter. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:27:26,000 –> 00:27:31,500
\nNot to marry.
\nThese are the Disciples of <\/p>\n
395
\n00:27:31,500 –> 00:27:38,600
\nChrist considering life without
\ndivorce and they’re like I would<\/p>\n
396
\n00:27:38,600 –> 00:27:44,700
\nnever get married right.
\nThe foundation of marriage for <\/p>\n
397
\n00:27:44,700 –> 00:27:49,700
\nthem was divorce in that sense.
\nRight by the reason I am willing<\/p>\n
398
\n00:27:49,700 –> 00:27:53,100
\nto marry you right now is
\nbecause I have the option to <\/p>\n
399
\n00:27:53,100 –> 00:27:55,700
\nbail whenever is necessary,
\nright? <\/p>\n
400
\n00:27:55,900 –> 00:27:59,700
\nAnd what’s more by the law All
\nof Moses. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:28:01,100 –> 00:28:03,900
\nAll I need to do is sign a piece
\nof paper on the dotted line, <\/p>\n
402
\n00:28:04,300 –> 00:28:07,200
\nright?
\nIt is, there it is permissible. <\/p>\n
403
\n00:28:07,300 –> 00:28:12,200
\nIn the law of Moses, I can be
\nrighteous in the law of Moses by<\/p>\n
404
\n00:28:12,200 –> 00:28:15,800
\nsigning this piece of paper and
\nI can move on to another woman <\/p>\n
405
\n00:28:15,800 –> 00:28:19,300
\nif I want to perfectly legal in
\nthe law of Moses. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:28:20,100 –> 00:28:23,400
\nOkay?
\nSo luckily we don’t have quite <\/p>\n
407
\n00:28:23,400 –> 00:28:26,800
\nthe same cultural context.
\nBut what Jesus is saying here, <\/p>\n
408
\n00:28:26,800 –> 00:28:30,500
\nthat the reason is bringing this
\nup is because we do similar <\/p>\n
409
\n00:28:30,500 –> 00:28:34,600
\nthings.
\nThings you can use law to <\/p>\n
410
\n00:28:34,600 –> 00:28:41,300
\nlegally sin, right?
\nAnd so if you’re married, you <\/p>\n
411
\n00:28:41,300 –> 00:28:44,700
\nknow, if this man is married to
\nthat woman and this man decides <\/p>\n
412
\n00:28:44,700 –> 00:28:46,500
\nthat he would rather be with
\nthat other woman. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:28:47,000 –> 00:28:49,700
\nWell, if he just runs off with
\nher it’s adultery and that’s <\/p>\n
414
\n00:28:49,700 –> 00:28:51,400
\nagainst the law and he’s an evil
\nman. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:28:52,500 –> 00:28:55,700
\nBut I have two pieces of paper
\nhere and if you sign on the <\/p>\n
416
\n00:28:55,700 –> 00:28:57,300
\ndotted line on the first one.
\nYeah. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:28:57,300 –> 00:28:59,700
\nAnd then now you come sign on
\nthe dotted line over here. <\/p>\n
418
\n00:28:59,900 –> 00:29:01,100
\nWe’re all riches.
\nYes. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:29:02,900 –> 00:29:07,100
\nThat’s that’s the law.
\nAnd by law, they would have been<\/p>\n
420
\n00:29:07,300 –> 00:29:09,800
\nrighteous by law and that
\ncircumstance. <\/p>\n
421
\n00:29:09,800 –> 00:29:11,600
\nAnd we look at that, we say,
\nthat’s insane. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:29:12,100 –> 00:29:13,600
\nAnd that’s what Jesus is telling
\nthem. <\/p>\n
423
\n00:29:13,700 –> 00:29:17,700
\nLook, this is insane.
\nYou’re filling out paperwork and<\/p>\n
424
\n00:29:17,700 –> 00:29:20,300
\nyou think that that makes you
\nrighteous. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:29:20,600 –> 00:29:27,500
\nIf the intention behind your
\nactivity is not Divine, then I <\/p>\n
426
\n00:29:27,500 –> 00:29:29,500
\ndon’t care if you follow the
\nlaw. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:29:30,300 –> 00:29:32,300
\nI don’t care what the law of
\nMoses says. <\/p>\n
428
\n00:29:33,700 –> 00:29:38,900
\nAll right, if you are pursuing
\nanother woman that’s it it might<\/p>\n
429
\n00:29:38,900 –> 00:29:41,200
\nbe in your head.
\nIt might be legalistic went. <\/p>\n
430
\n00:29:41,200 –> 00:29:46,800
\nNo, it’s all wrong.
\nEven when you do it legally, And<\/p>\n
431
\n00:29:46,800 –> 00:29:50,500
\nbear in mind again that in the
\nculture of the time, they would <\/p>\n
432
\n00:29:50,500 –> 00:29:53,600
\nhave considered this an
\nimpossible demand, it would have<\/p>\n
433
\n00:29:53,600 –> 00:29:56,500
\nsaid, wow that’s just going to
\ndestroy the fabric of our <\/p>\n
434
\n00:29:56,500 –> 00:30:04,300
\nsociety.
\nJust re-emphasizing. <\/p>\n
435
\n00:30:04,300 –> 00:30:07,900
\nI guess what I just said
\nrighteousness is not does not <\/p>\n
436
\n00:30:07,900 –> 00:30:11,300
\nmean keeping the law does not
\nmean righteousness. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:30:11,300 –> 00:30:14,200
\nMight you can fill out the
\npaperwork and you cannot be <\/p>\n
438
\n00:30:14,200 –> 00:30:15,800
\nrighteous.
\nWe can do this in our occasional<\/p>\n
439
\n00:30:15,800 –> 00:30:17,000
\nlife.
\nDo you write that you can show <\/p>\n
440
\n00:30:17,000 –> 00:30:20,100
\nup, you can do your readings,
\nyou can do all the sort of <\/p>\n
441
\n00:30:20,100 –> 00:30:24,300
\ntechnical things and that does
\nnot mean righteousness. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:30:26,500 –> 00:30:29,500
\nOkay, let me jump to the next
\none number for you shall not <\/p>\n
443
\n00:30:29,500 –> 00:30:33,200
\nswear falsely as again.
\nIt’s an interesting in the <\/p>\n
444
\n00:30:33,200 –> 00:30:35,900
\ncontext of marriage right?
\nWhere it like your yes. <\/p>\n
445
\n00:30:35,900 –> 00:30:38,500
\nBe yes and your no be no you
\nsaid you’re going to marry this <\/p>\n
446
\n00:30:39,200 –> 00:30:40,400
\nperson.
\nYou know till death. <\/p>\n
447
\n00:30:40,400 –> 00:30:43,000
\nDo you part?
\nThat’s what you said your yes <\/p>\n
448
\n00:30:43,000 –> 00:30:44,700
\nshould be.
\nYes, you shouldn’t go back on <\/p>\n
449
\n00:30:44,700 –> 00:30:46,800
\nthat, right?
\nIt’s not just oh, so, I mean, <\/p>\n
450
\n00:30:46,800 –> 00:30:49,200
\nagain, pull truly were not big
\ninto oats. <\/p>\n
451
\n00:30:49,200 –> 00:30:51,100
\nThat’s not things that we
\nnormally do. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:30:51,100 –> 00:30:55,200
\nSo, that’s not a big imposition
\nto us, but is our yes. <\/p>\n
453
\n00:30:55,500 –> 00:30:59,300
\nAll Always, yes.
\nAnd is are no, always, no, no, <\/p>\n
454
\n00:30:59,800 –> 00:31:02,600
\nright.
\nWe constantly equivocate, we <\/p>\n
455
\n00:31:02,600 –> 00:31:07,400
\nconstantly do Shades of Grey.
\nNow, why is this so important? <\/p>\n
456
\n00:31:07,400 –> 00:31:12,800
\nWell, often when we agree to
\nthings, we actually have a <\/p>\n
457
\n00:31:12,800 –> 00:31:16,800
\nhidden list of subject tubes.
\nNow, I don’t know how many <\/p>\n
458
\n00:31:16,800 –> 00:31:20,500
\npeople have bought a house, you
\nhave experienced this and you <\/p>\n
459
\n00:31:20,500 –> 00:31:22,700
\nhave a contract and you make an
\noffer, right? <\/p>\n
460
\n00:31:22,700 –> 00:31:25,700
\nYou’re right up a document.
\nYou say I will buy your house. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:31:25,800 –> 00:31:32,800
\nHouse subject to inspection and
\nsubject to financing and subject<\/p>\n
462
\n00:31:32,800 –> 00:31:35,300
\nand it’s a legal document so you
\nI am eyes it. <\/p>\n
463
\n00:31:36,000 –> 00:31:40,200
\nSo you’re saying yes I’m I’m
\ngoing to almost buy this house <\/p>\n
464
\n00:31:41,000 –> 00:31:43,500
\nif everything else works out,
\ncorrect? <\/p>\n
465
\n00:31:44,400 –> 00:31:48,700
\nAnd the problem we have is that
\nwe make a lot of yeses with <\/p>\n
466
\n00:31:48,700 –> 00:31:54,700
\nhidden lists of subject tubes.
\nIn our baptism might be one of <\/p>\n
467
\n00:31:54,708 –> 00:31:58,300
\nthose yeses, right?
\nWe get baptized we’re saying yes<\/p>\n
468
\n00:31:58,600 –> 00:32:02,600
\nI want to follow God to death or
\nthe kingdom. <\/p>\n
469
\n00:32:04,200 –> 00:32:08,300
\nIs it subject to something?
\nIs it subject to having good <\/p>\n
470
\n00:32:08,300 –> 00:32:11,400
\nhealth?
\nIs it subject to belonging to a <\/p>\n
471
\n00:32:11,408 –> 00:32:15,600
\nnurturing Ecclesia?
\nIs it subject to your spouse <\/p>\n
472
\n00:32:15,700 –> 00:32:19,700
\ntreating you perfectly?
\nIs it subject to the safety and <\/p>\n
473
\n00:32:19,700 –> 00:32:24,400
\nwell-being of your children?
\nLike is it subject to not having<\/p>\n
474
\n00:32:24,400 –> 00:32:27,600
\na object– poverty’s subject to
\nnot dealing with addiction? <\/p>\n
475
\n00:32:27,600 –> 00:32:31,100
\nLike do we have a long list of
\nsubject to? <\/p>\n
476
\n00:32:32,600 –> 00:32:34,700
\nAnd I think the short answer is
\nwe do. <\/p>\n
477
\n00:32:34,900 –> 00:32:39,200
\nI think we all have subject to
\nuse in our marriages, in our, in<\/p>\n
478
\n00:32:39,200 –> 00:32:43,700
\nour baptism in all of our
\ncommitments and it’s a lifelong <\/p>\n
479
\n00:32:43,700 –> 00:32:49,500
\ntask to uncover them all and try
\nto eliminate them from our <\/p>\n
480
\n00:32:49,500 –> 00:32:54,100
\nspiritual contrast.
\nRight, although the Fig Tree, <\/p>\n
481
\n00:32:54,100 –> 00:32:56,900
\nshall not blossom yet.
\nWill I rejoice in the Lord? <\/p>\n
482
\n00:32:57,000 –> 00:33:00,500
\nWe see this all over scripture,
\nthe whole Beatitudes, right? <\/p>\n
483
\n00:33:00,700 –> 00:33:05,500
\nLike you are blessed, even when
\nyou’re poor, you are blessed. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:33:05,500 –> 00:33:07,700
\nEven when you’re persecuted,
\nright? <\/p>\n
485
\n00:33:07,700 –> 00:33:11,600
\nIf you’re rejected by Society,
\ndoes that weaken your <\/p>\n
486
\n00:33:11,600 –> 00:33:13,300
\ncommitment?
\nIt should. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:33:13,500 –> 00:33:16,900
\nAnd if it does, you had it all
\nalong as a little subject to <\/p>\n
488
\n00:33:16,900 –> 00:33:20,400
\nwriter.
\nBut we like hidden subject <\/p>\n
489
\n00:33:20,400 –> 00:33:24,800
\ntubes.
\nThey bring us value and I want <\/p>\n
490
\n00:33:24,800 –> 00:33:28,300
\nto present it in the concept
\nthat you sold pizza, right? <\/p>\n
491
\n00:33:28,400 –> 00:33:30,900
\nAnd I said, okay, I’m going to
\nsell you a pizza, and you’d give<\/p>\n
492
\n00:33:30,900 –> 00:33:33,600
\nme $20, and I’m going to deliver
\na pizza. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:33:33,900 –> 00:33:35,700
\nYou’re Expecting the whole
\npizza. <\/p>\n
494
\n00:33:36,400 –> 00:33:39,800
\nRight.
\nBut if I actually have a bunch <\/p>\n
495
\n00:33:39,800 –> 00:33:45,300
\nof subject twos, a or may not
\nget the pizza or you may or may <\/p>\n
496
\n00:33:45,300 –> 00:33:49,900
\nnot get all of the pizza and you
\nonly find out later. <\/p>\n
497
\n00:33:50,700 –> 00:33:53,000
\nBut but I’ve already got the
\nDollars, right? <\/p>\n
498
\n00:33:53,000 –> 00:33:57,300
\nSo for me, as the person saying,
\nyes, I’ll give you the pizza, I <\/p>\n
499
\n00:33:57,300 –> 00:34:01,000
\nget all the benefit and then you
\nlater on when you only get half <\/p>\n
500
\n00:34:01,000 –> 00:34:03,800
\nthe pizza.
\nWell, we’ll worry about that <\/p>\n
501
\n00:34:03,800 –> 00:34:08,100
\nlater, right?
\nSo, when we commit to things and<\/p>\n
502
\n00:34:08,100 –> 00:34:12,400
\ndon’t deliver on our
\ncommitments, we are stealing, <\/p>\n
503
\n00:34:12,500 –> 00:34:14,400
\nright?
\nIt’s a form of stealing. <\/p>\n
504
\n00:34:14,400 –> 00:34:16,900
\nIt’s like somebody ordered a
\npizza and you only gave him half<\/p>\n
505
\n00:34:16,900 –> 00:34:20,500
\na pizza.
\nAnd we do this all the time and <\/p>\n
506
\n00:34:20,500 –> 00:34:24,699
\nlittle subtle ways we have to
\nlive up to our commitments. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:34:29,900 –> 00:34:33,000
\nZap joke, I found online
\nparents. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:34:33,199 –> 00:34:35,199
\nIt’s okay to say no to your
\nchildren. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:34:35,199 –> 00:34:39,900
\nThey won’t explode true story.
\nAnd the reason I put that there <\/p>\n
510
\n00:34:39,900 –> 00:34:45,600
\nis because is your, no, no, and
\nchildren have an uncanny ability<\/p>\n
511
\n00:34:45,600 –> 00:34:50,600
\nto know when you’re know is not
\nactually know, right? <\/p>\n
512
\n00:34:50,800 –> 00:34:54,400
\nAnd so and you like they ask you
\nfor something you say no and <\/p>\n
513
\n00:34:54,400 –> 00:34:58,300
\nthey ask you again, why do they
\nkeep asking me? <\/p>\n
514
\n00:34:58,500 –> 00:35:02,700
\nBut it’s because It’s a no
\nwhistles objectives, right? <\/p>\n
515
\n00:35:02,700 –> 00:35:04,600
\nAnd they’re trying to figure out
\nwhat are the four subject is <\/p>\n
516
\n00:35:04,600 –> 00:35:06,000
\nthis time?
\nBecause last time you said no <\/p>\n
517
\n00:35:06,000 –> 00:35:09,800
\ntwice and then I got it.
\nSo maybe the key is to is to get<\/p>\n
518
\n00:35:09,800 –> 00:35:15,100
\nyou know 3 knows it’s so hard
\nlike it is so hard to be <\/p>\n
519
\n00:35:15,100 –> 00:35:17,600
\nthoroughly consistent in our
\ncommitments. <\/p>\n
520
\n00:35:20,900 –> 00:35:25,500
\nInteresting question of control.
\nHere, there is an arrogance to <\/p>\n
521
\n00:35:25,500 –> 00:35:28,500
\ncommitment.
\nNow we sometimes, say God <\/p>\n
522
\n00:35:28,500 –> 00:35:32,900
\nwilling, right, and we should
\nsay it more often because Jesus <\/p>\n
523
\n00:35:32,900 –> 00:35:35,500
\nsays, take no over at all,
\neither by heaven for it, is the <\/p>\n
524
\n00:35:35,500 –> 00:35:38,500
\nThrone of God, that’s massive
\nthe Earth. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:35:38,500 –> 00:35:42,200
\nIt’s still massive, but smaller
\nby Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
526
\n00:35:42,400 –> 00:35:46,800
\nNow, it’s just a city nor you
\nshall taken off by your head. <\/p>\n
527
\n00:35:48,000 –> 00:35:51,400
\nAre you cannot make a single
\nhair white or black? <\/p>\n
528
\n00:35:51,400 –> 00:35:53,700
\nRight.
\nWe start thinking all, you know,<\/p>\n
529
\n00:35:53,700 –> 00:35:59,400
\nhaving the smallest thing.
\nYou can’t even control the hair <\/p>\n
530
\n00:35:59,400 –> 00:36:01,100
\non your head.
\nRight. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:36:01,200 –> 00:36:05,500
\nWe make these commitments
\nfoolishly because we assume that<\/p>\n
532
\n00:36:05,500 –> 00:36:10,000
\nwe can deliver right.
\nIf your commitment has subject <\/p>\n
533
\n00:36:10,000 –> 00:36:12,700
\nto use, you should clarify them
\nup front. <\/p>\n
534
\n00:36:13,100 –> 00:36:15,600
\nI’ll be there.
\nGod willing, I’ll be there. <\/p>\n
535
\n00:36:15,600 –> 00:36:17,200
\nAll being well, my uncle
\nCharlie. <\/p>\n
536
\n00:36:17,200 –> 00:36:20,000
\nI was To say all being well.
\nAnd I try to inject that <\/p>\n
537
\n00:36:20,000 –> 00:36:22,800
\nwherever I can, which is I’m
\ngoing to make an effort to <\/p>\n
538
\n00:36:22,800 –> 00:36:26,300
\ndeliver but I am accepting my
\nlimitations. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:36:26,700 –> 00:36:29,900
\nI’m accepting that things may
\nhappen, which prevent me from <\/p>\n
540
\n00:36:29,900 –> 00:36:37,400
\ndelivering Psalm 15 verses 1 & 4
\nwho shall dwell on your Holy <\/p>\n
541
\n00:36:37,400 –> 00:36:39,500
\nHill.
\nThere’s a number of other <\/p>\n
542
\n00:36:39,500 –> 00:36:43,700
\nattributes but an interesting
\none here he who swears to his <\/p>\n
543
\n00:36:43,700 –> 00:36:49,000
\nown hurt and does not change.
\nYou made a commitment. <\/p>\n
544
\n00:36:49,100 –> 00:36:52,400
\nIt is now ridiculously
\ninconvenient to keep that <\/p>\n
545
\n00:36:52,400 –> 00:36:55,900
\ncommitment.
\nHow far do you go and just like <\/p>\n
546
\n00:36:55,900 –> 00:37:00,700
\nnot sorry, not going to work.
\nYou know, baseball game is on, <\/p>\n
547
\n00:37:00,700 –> 00:37:02,900
\nyou know, or that, you know, a
\nhockey team made it. <\/p>\n
548
\n00:37:03,100 –> 00:37:06,400
\nNext set of the, you know, of
\nthe Stanley Cup. <\/p>\n
549
\n00:37:06,400 –> 00:37:07,800
\nSo I’m not going to go to make
\nthat anymore. <\/p>\n
550
\n00:37:07,800 –> 00:37:09,600
\nLike, what kind of things do you
\nrail? <\/p>\n
551
\n00:37:09,600 –> 00:37:19,800
\nOur commitments?
\nWe have heard that it was said <\/p>\n
552
\n00:37:20,100 –> 00:37:22,400
\nan eye for an eye, and a tooth
\nfor a tooth. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:37:23,600 –> 00:37:28,500
\nOne thing to keep in mind that
\nOutsiders like to portray this <\/p>\n
554
\n00:37:28,500 –> 00:37:33,700
\nas a Savage statement of the law
\nof Moses, because it feels so <\/p>\n
555
\n00:37:33,700 –> 00:37:35,700
\nviolent, right?
\nI’m taking out people’s eyes. <\/p>\n
556
\n00:37:36,000 –> 00:37:40,600
\nThis is actually one of the most
\nclear statements of fundamental <\/p>\n
557
\n00:37:40,600 –> 00:37:44,600
\nhuman rights that you will find
\nin ancient literature because I <\/p>\n
558
\n00:37:44,607 –> 00:37:47,900
\ncan tell you that in An ancient
\nculture, it was not an eye for <\/p>\n
559
\n00:37:47,900 –> 00:37:51,000
\nan eye.
\nIf you took out my I kill you, <\/p>\n
560
\n00:37:51,900 –> 00:37:53,900
\nright?
\nAnd it all had to do with your <\/p>\n
561
\n00:37:53,900 –> 00:38:00,000
\nsocial status, if you’re a
\nslave, and you hurt me in even <\/p>\n
562
\n00:38:00,000 –> 00:38:03,100
\nless than I, you’re dead, right?
\nAnd it goes all the way, like, <\/p>\n
563
\n00:38:03,100 –> 00:38:06,900
\nmaybe your whole family’s dead.
\nThis is completely this <\/p>\n
564
\n00:38:06,900 –> 00:38:12,700
\nstatement in the law of Moses is
\nsaying, everybody is equal your <\/p>\n
565
\n00:38:12,700 –> 00:38:15,000
\neye.
\nMy eye, all eyes are worth the <\/p>\n
566
\n00:38:15,000 –> 00:38:17,000
\nsame.
\nThey didn’t around the didn’t <\/p>\n
567
\n00:38:17,000 –> 00:38:18,600
\nrun around.
\nWith the time of Moses, plugging<\/p>\n
568
\n00:38:18,600 –> 00:38:21,800
\npeople’s eyes out either, right
\nthere was a compensation. <\/p>\n
569
\n00:38:21,900 –> 00:38:24,500
\nIf you cost somebody their
\nVision, you must compensate <\/p>\n
570
\n00:38:24,500 –> 00:38:27,500
\ntheir Vision.
\nEverybody’s vision is worth the <\/p>\n
571
\n00:38:27,500 –> 00:38:33,300
\nsame.
\nBut then he goes on to say, Do <\/p>\n
572
\n00:38:33,300 –> 00:38:36,900
\nnot resist.
\nThe one who is evil. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:38:38,900 –> 00:38:41,700
\nAnd that is a really difficult
\nstatement. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:38:42,000 –> 00:38:47,200
\nDo know, how do you live that
\none perfectly and completely do <\/p>\n
575
\n00:38:47,200 –> 00:38:49,100
\nnot resist the one.
\nWho is evil. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:38:49,100 –> 00:38:54,000
\nI did you just supposed to fold,
\nyou know, and give in to <\/p>\n
577
\n00:38:54,000 –> 00:39:00,500
\neverybody, whoever shall force
\nyou to go one mile, go with him <\/p>\n
578
\n00:39:00,500 –> 00:39:02,900
\ntwo, how do you run a business
\nwith that, right? <\/p>\n
579
\n00:39:03,500 –> 00:39:06,300
\nGive to him, who has to be?
\nDo not turn away from him who <\/p>\n
580
\n00:39:06,300 –> 00:39:10,700
\nwants to borrow from you?
\nAnd we do that a little bit. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:39:10,700 –> 00:39:13,200
\nBut how many of us can live?
\nThis oh, can I borrow your <\/p>\n
582
\n00:39:13,200 –> 00:39:20,900
\ntractor might bring it back or I
\nmight not but like, This is this<\/p>\n
583
\n00:39:20,900 –> 00:39:25,200
\nis again it’s extreme, it’s
\nabsolutely extreme. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:39:25,400 –> 00:39:28,000
\nIs that really what Jesus says?
\nOkay can I have your house? <\/p>\n
585
\n00:39:28,000 –> 00:39:31,400
\nCan I borrow your house all?
\nI just yeah my children and I <\/p>\n
586
\n00:39:31,400 –> 00:39:34,600
\nguess we’ll just go camp in the
\nbackyard if that’s okay with you<\/p>\n
587
\n00:39:34,600 –> 00:39:39,200
\nbecause it’s now your house like
\nwe can’t lose sight of the <\/p>\n
588
\n00:39:39,200 –> 00:39:43,400
\nextremism of these statements,
\nthese are radical statements. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:39:45,300 –> 00:39:46,700
\nNow just because they’re
\nradical. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:39:46,700 –> 00:39:49,600
\nDoes that mean we don’t we don’t
\ntry to live them at all know. <\/p>\n
591
\n00:39:49,600 –> 00:39:55,200
\nJesus is saying I’m telling you
\nthat this is you doing got a <\/p>\n
592
\n00:39:55,200 –> 00:39:59,000
\nlong way to go, right?
\nThe distance to righteousness is<\/p>\n
593
\n00:39:59,000 –> 00:40:00,900
\nfurther than you would ever
\nimagine. <\/p>\n
594
\n00:40:05,100 –> 00:40:09,400
\nPeter 3, verse 9, not returning,
\nevil for evil or insult for <\/p>\n
595
\n00:40:09,400 –> 00:40:12,800
\ninsult, but giving a blessing
\ninstead for you were called to <\/p>\n
596
\n00:40:12,800 –> 00:40:16,200
\nthis very purpose that you might
\ninherit a blessing. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:40:18,000 –> 00:40:22,800
\nLove your neighbor and hate your
\nenemy and we have a story of the<\/p>\n
598
\n00:40:22,800 –> 00:40:25,700
\nGood Samaritan.
\nThe interesting thing here is he<\/p>\n
599
\n00:40:25,700 –> 00:40:30,000
\nspeaks of the blessings on the
\nundeserving right that God makes<\/p>\n
600
\n00:40:30,000 –> 00:40:33,800
\nit rain on the just, and on the
\nunjust, are we selectively? <\/p>\n
601
\n00:40:34,300 –> 00:40:38,800
\nAnd how we love people?
\nOr are we like God, where we <\/p>\n
602
\n00:40:38,800 –> 00:40:42,000
\nwere just willing to be loving
\nto everyone? <\/p>\n
603
\n00:40:44,800 –> 00:40:48,800
\nWe’ve had six so far, but
\nthere’s a pattern here and I <\/p>\n
604
\n00:40:48,800 –> 00:40:53,600
\npropose to you that this, these
\nsix is not the complete list. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:40:54,100 –> 00:40:56,300
\nJesus isn’t saying, oh no, the
\nbook is closed. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:40:56,300 –> 00:41:01,000
\nJesus is saying this pattern.
\nThis concept of going to an <\/p>\n
607
\n00:41:01,000 –> 00:41:06,600
\nabsurd extreme is something that
\nyou can do with every Concept in<\/p>\n
608
\n00:41:06,600 –> 00:41:12,600
\ncommandment.
\nTithing the law says 10% that’s <\/p>\n
609
\n00:41:12,600 –> 00:41:16,800
\njust the starting point.
\nJesus would tell you right there<\/p>\n
610
\n00:41:16,800 –> 00:41:19,400
\npresented just where you start.
\nDon’t think you’ve achieved <\/p>\n
611
\n00:41:19,400 –> 00:41:23,700
\nsomething because God gave you
\n100 and you gave him back 1000 <\/p>\n
612
\n00:41:24,200 –> 00:41:28,900
\nhow Noble of you, right?
\nLike try for 11 and then when <\/p>\n
613
\n00:41:28,900 –> 00:41:31,800
\nyou’ve got 11 even try to like,
\nyou can go all your and you say <\/p>\n
614
\n00:41:31,800 –> 00:41:33,300
\nbut that’s impossible, hard
\nwork? <\/p>\n
615
\n00:41:33,500 –> 00:41:36,700
\nYeah.
\nYeah, it is interesting, right. <\/p>\n
616
\n00:41:38,900 –> 00:41:43,000
\nThe Sabbath concept.
\nDo you take the rest sacrifice, <\/p>\n
617
\n00:41:43,200 –> 00:41:48,500
\nHospitality humility, praise
\nmodest fee of this morning <\/p>\n
618
\n00:41:48,500 –> 00:41:52,000
\nhonesty.
\nGenerosity study, service <\/p>\n
619
\n00:41:52,100 –> 00:41:56,500
\nprayer.
\nTake your pick work on it for a <\/p>\n
620
\n00:41:56,500 –> 00:42:07,100
\nyear, right?
\nYou can just keep going. and <\/p>\n
621
\n00:42:07,100 –> 00:42:17,000
\nthen, We start to feel.
\nThat everything keeps loading <\/p>\n
622
\n00:42:17,000 –> 00:42:19,700
\nup, right?
\nNo, the first one was hard, not <\/p>\n
623
\n00:42:19,700 –> 00:42:22,300
\nbeing angry.
\nI was kind of stuck on the first<\/p>\n
624
\n00:42:22,300 –> 00:42:30,500
\none and then he followed with
\nfive more and then he says you <\/p>\n
625
\n00:42:30,500 –> 00:42:41,000
\ntherefore must be perfect.
\nNo, I want you to really try to <\/p>\n
626
\n00:42:41,000 –> 00:42:43,900
\nfeel how radical this statement
\nis. <\/p>\n
627
\n00:42:44,300 –> 00:42:52,500
\nThis is a commandment of Christ.
\nYou vowed to serve him and he <\/p>\n
628
\n00:42:52,500 –> 00:42:57,700
\ncommands you to be perfect.
\nAnd what way in case you want to<\/p>\n
629
\n00:42:57,700 –> 00:43:00,800
\nquibble about what exact
\ndefinition of perfect, well, let<\/p>\n
630
\n00:43:00,800 –> 00:43:06,400
\nme tell you how you need to be
\nperfect in the same way that God<\/p>\n
631
\n00:43:06,400 –> 00:43:15,800
\nis perfect. so, if you think,
\nThat there is some kind of <\/p>\n
632
\n00:43:15,800 –> 00:43:19,900
\nmoment in life where you’re
\ngoing to be able to sit down and<\/p>\n
633
\n00:43:19,900 –> 00:43:25,300
\nsay, oh yeah, I got that right
\ntoday was a good day. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:43:25,300 –> 00:43:27,800
\nI did it.
\nI got all the checkbooks to <\/p>\n
635
\n00:43:28,100 –> 00:43:34,300
\ncheck boxes today, Jesus is
\ngiving us the seventh challenge,<\/p>\n
636
\n00:43:34,800 –> 00:43:37,800
\nthe seventh impossible
\nchallenge. <\/p>\n
637
\n00:43:38,900 –> 00:43:42,500
\nIn this chapter, we had our
\nShades of Grey. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:43:42,500 –> 00:43:45,200
\nWhat do we do with our Shades of
\nGrey? <\/p>\n
639
\n00:43:45,300 –> 00:43:49,000
\nWe’re all starting in different
\nspots in different parts of our <\/p>\n
640
\n00:43:49,000 –> 00:43:52,500
\ndiscipline and what Jesus is
\ntelling you is that your <\/p>\n
641
\n00:43:52,500 –> 00:43:58,200
\nlifelong task is to push that
\nArrow from Darkness to light <\/p>\n
642
\n00:43:58,200 –> 00:44:02,700
\nwherever you start and until the
\nday that you die you need to <\/p>\n
643
\n00:44:02,700 –> 00:44:06,300
\nmove that arrow and what this is
\nhere. <\/p>\n
644
\n00:44:07,400 –> 00:44:11,300
\nIs an imaginary line drawn by
\nthe Pharisees that says well <\/p>\n
645
\n00:44:11,300 –> 00:44:13,800
\nthat is the line of legal
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:44:15,000 –> 00:44:18,400
\nRight.
\nAnd and look, I’m above it and <\/p>\n
647
\n00:44:18,400 –> 00:44:20,300
\nyou’re not.
\nSo I have a better person than <\/p>\n
648
\n00:44:20,300 –> 00:44:23,900
\nyou and the only used to be
\nabove it, but I fell behind it. <\/p>\n
649
\n00:44:23,900 –> 00:44:26,000
\nSo now I’m not going to be in
\nthe kingdom and I’m a bad <\/p>\n
650
\n00:44:26,000 –> 00:44:29,200
\nperson.
\nThis is the parasail. <\/p>\n
651
\n00:44:29,200 –> 00:44:31,900
\nGo legalistic mind, it’s inside
\nof each of us. <\/p>\n
652
\n00:44:33,400 –> 00:44:38,700
\nWhat Jesus is telling you is
\ndon’t worry about the line, the <\/p>\n
653
\n00:44:38,700 –> 00:44:42,700
\nline is in your head.
\nThe line is imaginary, this is <\/p>\n
654
\n00:44:42,700 –> 00:44:45,300
\nthe line, but there is a line.
\nIt’s just I was the line is up <\/p>\n
655
\n00:44:45,300 –> 00:44:50,900
\nhere where you can’t see it,
\nthat’s how righteous you have to<\/p>\n
656
\n00:44:50,900 –> 00:44:53,600
\nbe.
\nIf you’re going to be in the <\/p>\n
657
\n00:44:53,600 –> 00:44:57,800
\nkingdom of God, on the basis of
\nyour righteousness. <\/p>\n
658
\n00:45:04,000 –> 00:45:09,600
\nNow, I’ve Ranted long.
\nSo let’s see how I can wrap this<\/p>\n
659
\n00:45:09,600 –> 00:45:11,600
\nup quickly.
\nThat I can’t get away. <\/p>\n
660
\n00:45:11,600 –> 00:45:14,000
\nSorry for Mark chapter 10 verse
\n17. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:45:14,100 –> 00:45:17,100
\nMaybe you’ll just narrate it.
\nThrow you guys know the story of<\/p>\n
662
\n00:45:17,100 –> 00:45:19,200
\nthe rich young, man.
\nHe comes to Jesus. <\/p>\n
663
\n00:45:19,200 –> 00:45:22,400
\nAnd he says, what should I do to
\nbe righteous? <\/p>\n
664
\n00:45:22,800 –> 00:45:25,400
\nAnd Jesus says, well, if you
\nlook at smart guy, you know, the<\/p>\n
665
\n00:45:25,400 –> 00:45:26,700
\nCommandments, don’t kill.
\nDon’t commit. <\/p>\n
666
\n00:45:26,700 –> 00:45:29,900
\nAdultery yourself and the rich
\nyoung man, says, I’ve done that.<\/p>\n
667
\n00:45:31,100 –> 00:45:33,700
\nRight.
\nHe says, aha, I’m here. <\/p>\n
668
\n00:45:34,700 –> 00:45:39,900
\nI got over the line and then
\nJesus looks at him and, and I <\/p>\n
669
\n00:45:39,900 –> 00:45:44,800
\njust, it gives me chills.
\nHe looked at, and you can almost<\/p>\n
670
\n00:45:44,800 –> 00:45:46,200
\nsee Jesus.
\nLots of people around. <\/p>\n
671
\n00:45:46,200 –> 00:45:48,300
\nSomebody says, oh, I have a
\nquestion about whatever and the <\/p>\n
672
\n00:45:48,308 –> 00:45:52,100
\ncase is not, I’ve done that and
\nJesus going, you’ve done that <\/p>\n
673
\n00:45:52,900 –> 00:45:55,900
\nand he looks at him and he loved
\nhim. <\/p>\n
674
\n00:45:57,300 –> 00:46:01,200
\nShe doesn’t say very much, not
\nvery many people that it’s a <\/p>\n
675
\n00:46:01,200 –> 00:46:04,200
\nJesus.
\nLoved like specifically <\/p>\n
676
\n00:46:04,200 –> 00:46:06,400
\nindividually.
\nWe know he loved him and he <\/p>\n
677
\n00:46:06,400 –> 00:46:08,200
\nloved it this man.
\nHe loved them. <\/p>\n
678
\n00:46:08,200 –> 00:46:15,700
\nAnd he said, oh, Good for you.
\nJust one more thing, sell <\/p>\n
679
\n00:46:15,800 –> 00:46:19,400
\neverything you have and give it
\nto the poor. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:46:22,700 –> 00:46:25,900
\nWhat did Jesus do for that, man?
\nThat he loved. <\/p>\n
681
\n00:46:27,800 –> 00:46:34,400
\nErased, the line.
\nHe gave that man, a goal that he<\/p>\n
682
\n00:46:34,400 –> 00:46:38,400
\nwas going to wake up every
\nmorning and go to bed every <\/p>\n
683
\n00:46:38,400 –> 00:46:43,800
\nnight and look at every one of
\nhis possessions and say, I <\/p>\n
684
\n00:46:43,800 –> 00:46:51,300
\ndidn’t I didn’t pull it off.
\nI didn’t achieve my own <\/p>\n
685
\n00:46:51,300 –> 00:46:54,700
\nrighteousness.
\nHow does Jesus Love Somebody by <\/p>\n
686
\n00:46:54,700 –> 00:46:57,000
\ngiving them a goal that they can
\nnever attain? <\/p>\n
687
\n00:46:57,000 –> 00:47:02,100
\nHow is that love?
\nBut it is And so, this is what <\/p>\n
688
\n00:47:02,100 –> 00:47:03,800
\nwe have to consider this
\nmorning. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:47:04,100 –> 00:47:09,300
\nIf you are playing a game that
\nyou cannot win. <\/p>\n
690
\n00:47:10,800 –> 00:47:12,900
\nYou can’t win this game of
\nright. <\/p>\n
691
\n00:47:12,900 –> 00:47:18,200
\nYou will never win this game of
\nrighteousness, if that’s true. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:47:18,800 –> 00:47:20,500
\nWhat do you do when you get up
\nin the morning? <\/p>\n
693
\n00:47:21,800 –> 00:47:30,500
\nWhy even bother, I can’t do it.
\nWhy even bother and whatever <\/p>\n
694
\n00:47:30,500 –> 00:47:35,400
\nclose to you is, that Jesus is
\ntrying to give us an approach to<\/p>\n
695
\n00:47:35,400 –> 00:47:41,200
\nrighteousness that is less legal
\nin more like a craftsperson. <\/p>\n
696
\n00:47:43,000 –> 00:47:47,000
\nRight?
\nIf righteousness is your craft, <\/p>\n
697
\n00:47:48,400 –> 00:47:55,000
\nlike a person who loves Pottery,
\nthey are, they never reached the<\/p>\n
698
\n00:47:55,000 –> 00:47:59,700
\nPinnacle of pottery a person who
\nloves music, never reaches the <\/p>\n
699
\n00:47:59,700 –> 00:48:04,000
\nPinnacle of music, right?
\nWhen something is someone’s <\/p>\n
700
\n00:48:04,000 –> 00:48:08,000
\npassion and crafts, they get up
\nin the morning and they pursue <\/p>\n
701
\n00:48:08,000 –> 00:48:11,800
\nit, not because they’re going to
\nget seven points out of wood. <\/p>\n
702
\n00:48:12,000 –> 00:48:14,900
\nNo.
\nIt’s because they love the thing<\/p>\n
703
\n00:48:14,900 –> 00:48:19,700
\nfor its own sake.
\nThey love righteousness for its <\/p>\n
704
\n00:48:19,700 –> 00:48:24,100
\nown sake.
\nJesus wants you to be Craftsmen <\/p>\n
705
\n00:48:24,100 –> 00:48:29,700
\nof righteousness.
\nWere you just you can’t imagine <\/p>\n
706
\n00:48:29,700 –> 00:48:33,100
\nwaking up in the morning and
\nsaying, no, I’m gonna I’m gonna <\/p>\n
707
\n00:48:33,100 –> 00:48:36,200
\nhonor the flesh today.
\nToday’s a flesh day that you <\/p>\n
708
\n00:48:36,200 –> 00:48:40,300
\nwould be horrified by that.
\nYou would go, let’s be absurd, <\/p>\n
709
\n00:48:40,300 –> 00:48:42,500
\nright?
\nNo, no, you were good all week, <\/p>\n
710
\n00:48:42,600 –> 00:48:45,100
\nright?
\nSo you get to take Friday off, <\/p>\n
711
\n00:48:45,100 –> 00:48:46,800
\nyour right, your extra
\nrighteous. <\/p>\n
712
\n00:48:46,800 –> 00:48:49,200
\nYou know, you worked extra, my
\nmake Tuesday, Wednesday, <\/p>\n
713
\n00:48:49,200 –> 00:48:52,800
\nThursday, so now you can take
\nFriday off from righteousness, <\/p>\n
714
\n00:48:53,200 –> 00:48:55,200
\nright?
\nIf it’s a quota, if it’s an <\/p>\n
715
\n00:48:55,200 –> 00:48:56,600
\namount.
\nIf it’s something we’re <\/p>\n
716
\n00:48:56,600 –> 00:48:58,300
\nmeasuring, you could maybe do
\nthat. <\/p>\n
717
\n00:48:58,500 –> 00:49:02,800
\nAnd we’re like, it’s absurd, if
\nyou are a follower of Christ, <\/p>\n
718
\n00:49:02,800 –> 00:49:07,200
\nbecause in your heart, you want
\nto be like Christ, no matter <\/p>\n
719
\n00:49:07,200 –> 00:49:10,400
\nwho’s watching, no matter who’s
\ncounting, no matter where you <\/p>\n
720
\n00:49:10,400 –> 00:49:13,400
\nmight be on some scale, you’re
\ngoing to wake up in the morning <\/p>\n
721
\n00:49:13,600 –> 00:49:19,100
\nand say, I want to be perfect as
\nmy, heavenly father is perfect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
