2
\n00:00:03,600 –> 00:00:08,300
\nforward and to Enlighten us
\nabout this question, what do you<\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:08,300 –> 00:00:10,600
\nwant to be when you grow up?
\nThank you, buddy. <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:15,600 –> 00:00:17,900
\nGood evening, my beloved
\nbrothers, and sisters, and young<\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:17,900 –> 00:00:21,900
\npeople like to tell you how
\nhappy I am to be back home <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:21,900 –> 00:00:24,900
\nagain.
\nHere, we have fond memories of <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:24,900 –> 00:00:28,300
\nbeing in this Hall, on previous
\noccasions and meeting. <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:28,700 –> 00:00:32,400
\nSweet fellowship with so many of
\nyou and it’s just great to be <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:32,400 –> 00:00:37,400
\nback.
\nWhen I was a little boy. <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:38,800 –> 00:00:42,200
\nAnd that was a long, long, long
\ntime ago. <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:43,600 –> 00:00:47,000
\nI can remember growing UPS
\nsaying to me, what do you want <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:47,000 –> 00:00:51,500
\nto be when you grow up?
\nSo little boys have dreams of <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:51,500 –> 00:00:55,700
\nwhat they would like to be.
\nSometimes want to be Cowboys. <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:56,900 –> 00:01:01,500
\nAirline pilots fireman.
\nAstronauts. <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:02,800 –> 00:01:07,200
\nWhen I was a little boy, nobody
\nwant to be an astronaut they <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:07,200 –> 00:01:12,100
\nhadn’t been invented yet.
\nOne. <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:12,100 –> 00:01:16,000
\nLittle boy said, when I grow up,
\nI want to either be an <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:16,000 –> 00:01:18,500
\nautomobile mechanic or a garbage
\ncollector. <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:19,600 –> 00:01:22,300
\nAnd someone said, why do you
\nwant to be one of those two? <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:22,300 –> 00:01:27,900
\nHe’s a so I can get dirty.
\nA little girls are different and<\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:27,908 –> 00:01:30,500
\nlittle girls.
\nThey want to be nurses and they <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:30,500 –> 00:01:34,500
\nwant to be models and they want
\nto be mothers and they play <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:34,500 –> 00:01:39,000
\nhouse.
\nAnd sometimes they even ought to<\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:39,000 –> 00:01:42,600
\nbeat fire women too because we
\nhave fire women as well as fire <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:42,600 –> 00:01:46,800
\nmen over our way.
\nBut here I am looking at an <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:46,800 –> 00:01:51,100
\naudience of primarily grown
\nadults. <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:51,700 –> 00:01:55,800
\nAnd you might say, why are you
\nasking me that question? <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:57,000 –> 00:02:00,300
\nBut I’m going to ask it just the
\nsame. <\/p>\n
29
\n00:02:01,200 –> 00:02:04,700
\nWhat do you want to be when you
\ngrow up? <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:06,500 –> 00:02:10,400
\nYou might think you’re grown but
\nnot from God’s Viewpoint, you <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:10,400 –> 00:02:14,700
\naren’t.
\nPaul told when I was a child. <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:16,700 –> 00:02:20,400
\nI spake as a child.
\nI understood as a child, I <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:20,400 –> 00:02:23,400
\nthought as a child, but when I
\nbecame a man, I put away <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:23,500 –> 00:02:28,300
\nchildish things but we all If
\nwe’re honest have to admit that <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:28,300 –> 00:02:34,200
\nsometimes we carry childish
\nthings on into our adulthood, <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:36,000 –> 00:02:42,800
\nBut from God’s Viewpoint, all of
\nus, without exception, you’re <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:42,800 –> 00:02:48,300
\nall little children in our
\nclasses over the weekend. <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:48,300 –> 00:02:52,400
\nWe mentioned the fact that poor
\nMethuselah never even lived to <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:52,400 –> 00:02:56,400
\nsee Monday morning.
\nBecause Peter tells us that a <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:56,400 –> 00:02:58,800
\nthousand years is just like one
\nday to God. <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:59,400 –> 00:03:03,900
\nSince he lived, only 969 years,
\nhe was dead before the first day<\/p>\n
42
\n00:03:03,900 –> 00:03:07,400
\nwas over.
\nAnd so using a thousand years as<\/p>\n
43
\n00:03:07,400 –> 00:03:13,100
\na scale there is no one in this
\nroom that has lived to see 3 <\/p>\n
44
\n00:03:13,600 –> 00:03:22,200
\na.m. because you would be 125
\nyears old at 3 a.m. and none of <\/p>\n
45
\n00:03:22,200 –> 00:03:26,800
\nus live that long.
\nSo James asks, this question, <\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:26,800 –> 00:03:31,100
\nwhat is your life?
\nIt’s even a vapor that appears <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:31,100 –> 00:03:33,200
\nfor a little time and then
\nvanisheth away. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:34,100 –> 00:03:37,600
\nSo if we haven’t lived till 3
\na.m., we haven’t lived very long<\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:37,600 –> 00:03:42,600
\nin God’s Viewpoint and then
\nIsaiah tells us that the nations<\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:42,600 –> 00:03:47,400
\nare like a drop in a bucket.
\nAnd they are regarded as dust of<\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:47,400 –> 00:03:52,600
\nthe scales and when you look at
\nthe old fashioned scales and you<\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:52,600 –> 00:03:55,000
\nput some on one side and if
\nsomething on the other hand, you<\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:55,000 –> 00:04:00,200
\nsee, you know, the nation, all
\nthe nations, the whole world is <\/p>\n
54
\n00:04:00,200 –> 00:04:02,600
\nlike the dust on once.
\nIt doesn’t even make it go down <\/p>\n
55
\n00:04:02,600 –> 00:04:06,600
\na little bit.
\nSo we really are not that <\/p>\n
56
\n00:04:06,900 –> 00:04:11,500
\nimportant when it comes to
\nthinking, look who I am when all<\/p>\n
57
\n00:04:11,500 –> 00:04:14,800
\nthe nations of the world are
\njust like the dust of the <\/p>\n
58
\n00:04:14,800 –> 00:04:19,200
\nbalance.
\nAnd yet God knows each one of us<\/p>\n
59
\n00:04:19,600 –> 00:04:26,400
\nby name and he cares about us
\nand that’s a wonderful thing to <\/p>\n
60
\n00:04:26,400 –> 00:04:30,200
\nbehold to remember and to take
\ncomfort in. <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:31,300 –> 00:04:34,100
\nNow, Paul told us if any man
\nthinks that he knows anything. <\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:34,100 –> 00:04:35,800
\nHe doesn’t know anything, like
\nhe ought to know. <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:36,400 –> 00:04:40,700
\nSo, no matter how much we think
\nwe know the biggest room you <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:40,700 –> 00:04:43,700
\nhave in your house has room for
\nimprovement and you don’t know <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:43,700 –> 00:04:47,600
\nwhat you ought to know.
\nAll of us are in that boat <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:47,600 –> 00:04:50,600
\ntogether.
\nAnd so from God’s Viewpoint, <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:50,600 –> 00:04:53,300
\nwe’re all little children and
\nwe’re all learning. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:53,300 –> 00:04:57,800
\nAnd we hope that God will be
\npatient with us because he’s not<\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:57,800 –> 00:05:00,900
\nfinished with us yet.
\nWe’re all still a work. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:05:01,100 –> 00:05:04,500
\nProgress.
\nAnd so if we turn our Bibles to <\/p>\n
71
\n00:05:04,500 –> 00:05:09,900
\nthe first letter of John, John
\nis on the continually call us <\/p>\n
72
\n00:05:10,000 –> 00:05:15,200
\nLittle Children First, John
\nchapter 2 and verse 1. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:05:16,500 –> 00:05:21,200
\nHe says my little children, he’s
\ntalking to grown-up people. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:05:22,700 –> 00:05:24,400
\nI’ve been invited to speak to
\nyou tonight. <\/p>\n
75
\n00:05:24,400 –> 00:05:27,700
\nAnd I’m asking you what you want
\nto do, when you grow up. <\/p>\n
76
\n00:05:28,200 –> 00:05:31,900
\nAnd John is saying my little
\nchildren, these things write I <\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:31,900 –> 00:05:35,300
\nunto you that ye sin, not so
\nthat really is a good letter to <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:35,300 –> 00:05:37,100
\nread.
\nYou can help you from sinning. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:37,400 –> 00:05:40,200
\nSo we should study it.
\nAnd if any man sin we have an <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:40,200 –> 00:05:42,600
\nadvocate with the father.
\nJesus Christ, the righteous. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:43,000 –> 00:05:46,200
\nThen if you cast your eyes down,
\na few verses in the same chapter<\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:46,300 –> 00:05:48,900
\ncoming in at verse 28 he says
\nagain. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:48,900 –> 00:05:53,000
\nNow little children abide in him
\nthat when he shall appear, We <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:53,000 –> 00:05:55,800
\nmay have confidence and not be
\nashamed before him at his <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:55,800 –> 00:05:59,100
\ncoming.
\nSo twice in that chapter, he <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:59,100 –> 00:06:01,300
\njust my little children.
\nThen you go to the third <\/p>\n
87
\n00:06:01,300 –> 00:06:03,600
\nchapter.
\nAnd in verse 7, he says little <\/p>\n
88
\n00:06:03,600 –> 00:06:06,600
\nchildren, let no man deceive
\nyou. <\/p>\n
89
\n00:06:07,400 –> 00:06:10,000
\nHe that doeth righteousness is
\nrighteous even as he is <\/p>\n
90
\n00:06:10,000 –> 00:06:13,100
\nrighteous.
\nAgain, little children Verse 18,<\/p>\n
91
\n00:06:13,200 –> 00:06:17,300
\nmy little children, let us not
\nlove in word, neither in tongue <\/p>\n
92
\n00:06:17,500 –> 00:06:21,800
\nbut in deed and in truth.
\nAnd then the chapter for ye are <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:21,800 –> 00:06:25,900
\nof God, verse for ye are of God
\nlittle children and have <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:25,900 –> 00:06:28,700
\novercome them.
\nBecause greater is he that is in<\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:28,700 –> 00:06:30,800
\nyou than that.
\nHe is in the world. <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:30,800 –> 00:06:35,800
\nSo if possible John is lovely
\nbrother that wrote an epistle to<\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:35,800 –> 00:06:40,400
\nyour pistols and one gospel he
\ncontinually calls us little <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:40,500 –> 00:06:45,600
\nchildren but you know he wasn’t
\nthe only one who did this, Paul <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:45,600 –> 00:06:49,100
\ndid it to in Galatians 4:19 my
\nlittle children. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:49,200 –> 00:06:53,100
\nNow this is an interesting verse
\nbecause Paul is talking about us<\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:53,400 –> 00:06:56,300
\ngo to those in galatia but these
\nwords were written for us too. <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:56,300 –> 00:07:01,000
\nBecause we are they To us.
\nMy little children is of whom I <\/p>\n
103
\n00:07:01,000 –> 00:07:06,200
\ntravail in birth.
\nAgain, until Christ be formed in<\/p>\n
104
\n00:07:06,200 –> 00:07:09,000
\nyou.
\nHe’s talking about babies that <\/p>\n
105
\n00:07:09,000 –> 00:07:11,900
\nare hardly born travailing in
\nbirth. <\/p>\n
106
\n00:07:12,400 –> 00:07:15,300
\nPaul is using picturesque
\nlanguage to describe himself as <\/p>\n
107
\n00:07:15,300 –> 00:07:20,000
\na parent, a to those.
\nHe was trying to motivate to <\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:20,000 –> 00:07:23,500
\nfollow the lord, Jesus Christ.
\nSo we may think that we are full<\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:23,500 –> 00:07:27,100
\ngrown, but Paul and John thought
\nof us as little children. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:27,200 –> 00:07:30,300
\nChildren and in Galatians, he’s
\neven saying. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:31,600 –> 00:07:36,000
\nYou just being born travailing
\nin birth, your your newborns and<\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:36,000 –> 00:07:39,000
\nthese were fully grown adults.
\nHe was addressing. <\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:41,100 –> 00:07:44,100
\nNow, we all are familiar with
\nwhat happened in that upper room<\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:44,800 –> 00:07:48,800
\njust before Jesus went out to be
\ncrucified. <\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:50,000 –> 00:07:56,100
\nAnd Jesus waited.
\nUntil after Judas left. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:57,900 –> 00:08:00,500
\nAnd Judas was really upsetting
\nJesus. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:08:00,500 –> 00:08:05,200
\nYou could feel the tension that
\nJesus was feeling having this <\/p>\n
118
\n00:08:05,200 –> 00:08:08,500
\nbetrayer in his midst, though.
\nHe got down on his knees and <\/p>\n
119
\n00:08:08,500 –> 00:08:11,600
\nwashed his feet and when he
\nleft, he said, what? <\/p>\n
120
\n00:08:11,600 –> 00:08:18,400
\nThou doest do quickly.
\nThen Jesus seems to sigh a sigh <\/p>\n
121
\n00:08:18,400 –> 00:08:23,000
\nof relief and he turns to the
\neleven and he refers to them. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:08:23,500 –> 00:08:30,000
\nAs little children, he never
\nused the phrase little children <\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:30,800 –> 00:08:36,200
\nuntil Judas was gone.
\nIt was a form of endearment. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:36,700 –> 00:08:40,799
\nJesus love them.
\nAnd he called them little <\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:40,799 –> 00:08:44,900
\nchildren but he did include
\nJudas in those remarks. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:46,000 –> 00:08:52,600
\nSo with Paul telling us that
\nhe’s travailing in birth, that <\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:52,600 –> 00:08:55,800
\nwe might be, we prevailing with
\nus that we might be born. <\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:56,700 –> 00:09:01,600
\nHe tells the Ephesians What we
\nought to be doing is little <\/p>\n
129
\n00:09:01,600 –> 00:09:02,500
\nchildren.
\nWhat do you want to be when you <\/p>\n
130
\n00:09:02,500 –> 00:09:05,000
\ngrow up?
\nListen, it’s the answers coming <\/p>\n
131
\n00:09:05,000 –> 00:09:09,100
\nup a speak the truth in love and
\ngrow up. <\/p>\n
132
\n00:09:09,900 –> 00:09:11,800
\nSo, sometimes we say the child
\ngrew up. <\/p>\n
133
\n00:09:12,500 –> 00:09:15,000
\nWell, they grow up too fast.
\nSometimes, if you have grown <\/p>\n
134
\n00:09:15,000 –> 00:09:17,800
\nchildren, you realize how fast
\nit is, when they come in, <\/p>\n
135
\n00:09:17,808 –> 00:09:19,700
\nthey’re gone.
\nThen you have grandchildren and <\/p>\n
136
\n00:09:19,700 –> 00:09:20,500
\nthey’re coming.
\nThey’re gone. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:09:20,500 –> 00:09:22,500
\nAnd then your great
\ngrandchildren and they’re still <\/p>\n
138
\n00:09:22,500 –> 00:09:27,900
\ncoming.
\nBut Paul is saying speak the <\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:27,900 –> 00:09:33,800
\ntruth in love and grow up unto
\nhim in all things. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:33,800 –> 00:09:37,700
\nThat is the head Christ.
\nSo we’re back to that original <\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:37,700 –> 00:09:38,800
\nquestion.
\nWhat do you want to be when you <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:38,800 –> 00:09:41,400
\ngrow up and we have answer.
\nNow, Paul says, grow up and be <\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:41,400 –> 00:09:44,900
\nlike, Jesus.
\nThat’s what we want to do. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:09:45,500 –> 00:09:47,800
\nYou might say, of course he was
\na young man when he died, but he<\/p>\n
145
\n00:09:47,800 –> 00:09:50,800
\nwas the most mature person who
\never lived. <\/p>\n
146
\n00:09:50,800 –> 00:09:55,400
\nHe packed so much in 33 years
\nmore than even Methuselah did in<\/p>\n
147
\n00:09:55,400 –> 00:09:59,900
\n1969 years.
\nAnd so in our readings, which we<\/p>\n
148
\n00:09:59,900 –> 00:10:05,700
\nread before we began in First
\nJohn 3, John says beloved. <\/p>\n
149
\n00:10:06,000 –> 00:10:09,100
\nNow talk about now, right?
\nThis evening. <\/p>\n
150
\n00:10:09,500 –> 00:10:13,200
\nNow, are we, the sons of God.
\nIt does not yet appear. <\/p>\n
151
\n00:10:13,200 –> 00:10:16,600
\nWhat we shall be, but we know
\nthat when he shall appear, <\/p>\n
152
\n00:10:16,600 –> 00:10:20,000
\nThat’s the Lord Jesus.
\nWe shall be like him for. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:10:20,000 –> 00:10:23,800
\nWe shall see him as he is, so we
\nwant to grow up to be like <\/p>\n
154
\n00:10:23,800 –> 00:10:27,100
\nJesus, and when Jesus comes, we
\nare going to be like him. <\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:27,100 –> 00:10:30,300
\nWe’re going to share his nature.
\nHe’s going to give us the same <\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:30,300 –> 00:10:32,900
\nkind of a mortal body that he
\nnow possesses. <\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:34,400 –> 00:10:37,100
\nSo Paul is telling us to grow up
\nby speaking. <\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:37,100 –> 00:10:43,200
\nThe truth in love, And we want
\nto then try to do that in our <\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:43,500 –> 00:10:48,300
\neveryday life if we’re
\nsuccessful in, maturing then <\/p>\n
160
\n00:10:48,300 –> 00:10:52,400
\nwhen our Lord comes he will
\ninvite us to truly be like him <\/p>\n
161
\n00:10:52,800 –> 00:10:56,000
\nby sharing his nature and living
\nforever in his kingdom. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:10:56,000 –> 00:10:59,900
\nSo what a great future you have,
\nwe of all the people in the <\/p>\n
163
\n00:10:59,900 –> 00:11:04,100
\nwhole world and the greatest
\nfuture of anybody The promise of<\/p>\n
164
\n00:11:04,100 –> 00:11:07,900
\neternal life with the Lord Jesus
\nin his kingdom but in order to <\/p>\n
165
\n00:11:07,908 –> 00:11:10,500
\ndo that, you got to grow up.
\nNow you got to try to be like <\/p>\n
166
\n00:11:10,500 –> 00:11:15,800
\nJesus now or you’ll never be
\nlike he is now if you’re if you <\/p>\n
167
\n00:11:15,800 –> 00:11:20,300
\ndon’t emulate his life as a
\nmortal you will not ever emulate<\/p>\n
168
\n00:11:20,300 –> 00:11:22,700
\nor be like his life as an
\nimmortal. <\/p>\n
169
\n00:11:23,300 –> 00:11:25,700
\nSo Paul travail in birth for his
\nchildren. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:11:26,600 –> 00:11:31,100
\nNow in olden times in fact in
\nAustralia, even today you have <\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:31,100 –> 00:11:36,400
\nmuch larger families than we
\nseem to have in America and in a<\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:36,400 –> 00:11:40,800
\nvery big family, there would be
\nlots of brothers and sisters and<\/p>\n
173
\n00:11:40,800 –> 00:11:44,200
\nthe older brothers and sisters
\nwould be a great help to Mom and<\/p>\n
174
\n00:11:44,200 –> 00:11:46,900
\nDad in bringing up their
\nsiblings. <\/p>\n
175
\n00:11:48,300 –> 00:11:55,600
\nAnd that same thing is happening
\nthis evening right here in blue.<\/p>\n
176
\n00:11:57,300 –> 00:12:03,300
\nBecause we are a family and some
\nof us are a lot older than some <\/p>\n
177
\n00:12:03,300 –> 00:12:09,100
\nof the rest of us.
\nAnd so, the older siblings are <\/p>\n
178
\n00:12:09,100 –> 00:12:13,400
\nto help the younger siblings to
\ngrow up. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:12:14,200 –> 00:12:19,300
\nSince we’re all children, some
\nof us are just older children. <\/p>\n
180
\n00:12:20,000 –> 00:12:22,500
\nIt’s just, we’ve been around a
\nlittle bit longer. <\/p>\n
181
\n00:12:23,300 –> 00:12:27,200
\nWe can be a great help to the
\nyoung ones coming along. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:12:28,500 –> 00:12:33,700
\nAnd so we have to recognize the
\nresponsibility that we have as <\/p>\n
183
\n00:12:33,700 –> 00:12:37,700
\nbrothers and sisters of the
\nLord, Jesus Christ in helping <\/p>\n
184
\n00:12:37,900 –> 00:12:42,600
\nour younger brothers and sisters
\nto grow up and to be more, like <\/p>\n
185
\n00:12:42,600 –> 00:12:45,400
\nJesus.
\nNow, we know that children are <\/p>\n
186
\n00:12:45,400 –> 00:12:49,700
\ngreat imitators of their parents
\nand other older brothers and <\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:49,700 –> 00:12:51,100
\nsisters.
\nThey wanted to do. <\/p>\n
188
\n00:12:51,100 –> 00:12:56,100
\nWhat Mommy and Daddy are doing.
\nAnd so, the younger members of <\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:56,100 –> 00:13:00,200
\nthis closure or Europe to Asia,
\nwherever it might, be are all <\/p>\n
190
\n00:13:00,200 –> 00:13:06,800
\nwatching you that are older and
\nyou might as well recognize that<\/p>\n
191
\n00:13:06,800 –> 00:13:11,000
\nthey are copying you even if you
\ndon’t want them to, we have a <\/p>\n
192
\n00:13:11,000 –> 00:13:14,600
\nbumper sticker over America’s
\nand don’t follow me, I’m lost. <\/p>\n
193
\n00:13:15,400 –> 00:13:20,600
\nBut people do follow you and you
\nwould be surprised even <\/p>\n
194
\n00:13:20,900 –> 00:13:22,800
\nchildren.
\nLook up to older children, older<\/p>\n
195
\n00:13:22,800 –> 00:13:25,200
\nchildren locked up.
\nTeenagers, teenagers, look up to<\/p>\n
196
\n00:13:25,200 –> 00:13:29,100
\nadults, adults, look up the
\nother adults, you are being <\/p>\n
197
\n00:13:29,100 –> 00:13:33,600
\nwatched by those around you, and
\nwhat you are is hollering, so <\/p>\n
198
\n00:13:33,600 –> 00:13:37,200
\nloud.
\nI can’t hear what you’re saying,<\/p>\n
199
\n00:13:38,200 –> 00:13:40,500
\nthere’s no, you should tell him,
\nbe faithful to the truth, you <\/p>\n
200
\n00:13:40,508 –> 00:13:43,700
\nknow, hold up the standards
\nhigh, and then they find that <\/p>\n
201
\n00:13:43,700 –> 00:13:47,800
\nyou’re cheating on your income
\ntax or you’re doing things that <\/p>\n
202
\n00:13:48,300 –> 00:13:52,500
\nserve the Christ would not do is
\nno use of Father, saying to his <\/p>\n
203
\n00:13:52,500 –> 00:13:54,200
\nson.
\nYou always tell the truth. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:13:54,200 –> 00:13:56,500
\nDon’t you ever lie?
\nBut if the phone rings, tell him<\/p>\n
205
\n00:13:56,500 –> 00:14:02,800
\nI’m not home.
\nSee, they see right through us <\/p>\n
206
\n00:14:03,600 –> 00:14:07,500
\nand we need to realize that and
\nso we have to always be on our <\/p>\n
207
\n00:14:07,500 –> 00:14:13,100
\nguard to make sure that we are a
\ngood example to others. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:14:14,600 –> 00:14:19,400
\nAnd so me being a stranger here,
\nyou know, that I do not know all<\/p>\n
209
\n00:14:19,400 –> 00:14:23,000
\nthese precious little children,
\nespecially if they’re all <\/p>\n
210
\n00:14:23,000 –> 00:14:25,900
\nrunning around, I don’t know
\nwhich one always belongs to <\/p>\n
211
\n00:14:25,900 –> 00:14:30,700
\nwhich parents but if when this
\nmeeting was over and all these <\/p>\n
212
\n00:14:30,700 –> 00:14:36,700
\nchildren are enjoying their
\nlittle treats and I went up and <\/p>\n
213
\n00:14:36,700 –> 00:14:40,800
\nspoke unkindly to one of these,
\ndear little children. <\/p>\n
214
\n00:14:42,800 –> 00:14:48,100
\nAnd the parent heard me.
\nWhat’s the parent going to <\/p>\n
215
\n00:14:48,100 –> 00:14:50,600
\nthink?
\nThat’s my precious. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:14:50,600 –> 00:14:54,500
\nLittle girl, that’s my Loop.
\nYou talk to him like that. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:14:55,300 –> 00:14:57,500
\nYou see, they wouldn’t like it
\nand they were right. <\/p>\n
218
\n00:14:59,300 –> 00:15:02,800
\nNow, what’s the point where you
\nsee, We’re All God’s Children, <\/p>\n
219
\n00:15:02,800 –> 00:15:05,700
\nhe’s watching us.
\nAnd when you say something <\/p>\n
220
\n00:15:05,700 –> 00:15:09,100
\nthat’s not very nice about
\nanother one of God’s children. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:15:09,800 –> 00:15:13,600
\nHe hears it.
\nAnd he doesn’t like it. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:15:14,800 –> 00:15:18,700
\nYou better be careful how you
\ntalk about God’s other children <\/p>\n
223
\n00:15:18,800 –> 00:15:21,200
\nbecause they’re all in this room
\nand they’re all over. <\/p>\n
224
\n00:15:22,600 –> 00:15:28,600
\nAnd we sometimes see really
\nunkind things too. <\/p>\n
225
\n00:15:28,600 –> 00:15:33,600
\nAnd sometimes about another
\nbrother sister and everything, <\/p>\n
226
\n00:15:33,600 –> 00:15:37,500
\nyou’re saying is heard by God,
\nyou go, yet, Grandma secrets. <\/p>\n
227
\n00:15:38,600 –> 00:15:44,400
\nAnd so we have to be so careful
\nthat we always speak the truth <\/p>\n
228
\n00:15:44,400 –> 00:15:46,500
\nin love.
\nThat’s what Paul said we do grow<\/p>\n
229
\n00:15:46,500 –> 00:15:51,800
\nup and speak the truth and love.
\nNow I have experienced Parents. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:15:52,600 –> 00:15:55,400
\nFortunately, not very often in
\nChristian film but it has <\/p>\n
231
\n00:15:55,400 –> 00:15:59,600
\nhappened in them to who spoke a
\nvery unkindly to their own <\/p>\n
232
\n00:15:59,600 –> 00:16:01,600
\nlittle job and I’ve seen them
\njerk them around. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:16:01,600 –> 00:16:04,400
\nYou know, children are precious
\nlittle thing and, you know, even<\/p>\n
234
\n00:16:04,400 –> 00:16:07,400
\nthere, I’m sockets are present
\nand I hope seen kids parents, <\/p>\n
235
\n00:16:07,400 –> 00:16:09,900
\ngrab a chilling, grabbed his arm
\nand I think he’s gonna he’s <\/p>\n
236
\n00:16:09,900 –> 00:16:13,400
\ngonna put it on the side and it
\ndoes sometimes happen and <\/p>\n
237
\n00:16:13,400 –> 00:16:14,700
\nthey’re mad.
\nCome with me. <\/p>\n
238
\n00:16:16,500 –> 00:16:21,100
\nYou see, we always as an older
\nbrother or sister. <\/p>\n
239
\n00:16:21,600 –> 00:16:24,900
\nWe always have to be in control
\nof our emotions. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:16:26,300 –> 00:16:29,800
\nYour home.
\nIn Arc Leisure. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:16:30,800 –> 00:16:36,000
\nIt, everywhere we go.
\nYou must never let go of you and<\/p>\n
242
\n00:16:36,000 –> 00:16:45,500
\njust be unkind to anyone.
\nAnd that’s not easy to do, but <\/p>\n
243
\n00:16:45,500 –> 00:16:51,000
\nit is right to do.
\nAnd so what do you want to be <\/p>\n
244
\n00:16:51,000 –> 00:16:54,600
\nwhen you grow up, if you want to
\nbe more like Jesus, Jesus was <\/p>\n
245
\n00:16:54,600 –> 00:17:00,000
\nkind and compassionate and
\nforgiving and helpful, even to <\/p>\n
246
\n00:17:00,000 –> 00:17:03,900
\nthose, who were not very nice to
\nhear me now. <\/p>\n
247
\n00:17:03,900 –> 00:17:05,599
\nWe think of John we’ve quoted
\nJohn. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:17:05,599 –> 00:17:09,800
\nWe read from John tonight.
\nHe was the favorite disciple, <\/p>\n
249
\n00:17:09,800 –> 00:17:11,700
\nApostle of the Lord Jesus
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:17:11,700 –> 00:17:14,900
\nWe believe it.
\nHe had a favorite, he loved them<\/p>\n
251
\n00:17:14,900 –> 00:17:20,700
\nall, but he certainly John stood
\nout. and we read his Epistles <\/p>\n
252
\n00:17:21,099 –> 00:17:24,300
\nand we read his gospel and we
\nthink what a loving brother, he <\/p>\n
253
\n00:17:24,300 –> 00:17:29,000
\nwas But he wasn’t always like
\nthat. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:17:30,300 –> 00:17:33,900
\nThere was a time when he was
\nfollowing Jesus, he been <\/p>\n
255
\n00:17:33,900 –> 00:17:40,300
\nbaptized.
\nHe was living a different life <\/p>\n
256
\n00:17:40,300 –> 00:17:43,300
\nfollowing the Jesus, he given up
\nhis boat you walked away from <\/p>\n
257
\n00:17:43,300 –> 00:17:46,900
\nhis fishing business and he was
\ndevoting his life to Jesus. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:17:47,500 –> 00:17:55,700
\nAnd yet Jesus called John, And
\nhis brother James sons of <\/p>\n
259
\n00:17:55,700 –> 00:17:59,800
\nthunder.
\nAnd why did he call him sons of <\/p>\n
260
\n00:17:59,800 –> 00:18:02,700
\nthunder?
\nWell, we know because we read <\/p>\n
261
\n00:18:02,700 –> 00:18:09,800
\nLuke chapter 9 before and these
\ntwo young men were full of love <\/p>\n
262
\n00:18:09,800 –> 00:18:12,900
\nfor Jesus and they were willing
\nto stand up for Jesus. <\/p>\n
263
\n00:18:13,000 –> 00:18:17,000
\nAnd if you don’t do what we say,
\nwill burn you up and they <\/p>\n
264
\n00:18:17,000 –> 00:18:21,100
\nthought they were on good.
\nSolid ground because they were <\/p>\n
265
\n00:18:21,200 –> 00:18:25,400
\nreferring to Elijah.
\nAnd if Elijah did that, we have <\/p>\n
266
\n00:18:25,400 –> 00:18:31,000
\na right to be that way too.
\nSo Luke chapter 9 and verse 51. <\/p>\n
267
\n00:18:31,000 –> 00:18:35,400
\nIt came to pass when the time
\nwas come, that Jesus should be <\/p>\n
268
\n00:18:35,400 –> 00:18:39,400
\nreceived up.
\nHe steadfastly set his face to <\/p>\n
269
\n00:18:39,400 –> 00:18:42,900
\ngo to Jerusalem Jerusalem.
\nAnd he sent messages before his <\/p>\n
270
\n00:18:42,900 –> 00:18:44,300
\nface.
\nSo they went and it into US, <\/p>\n
271
\n00:18:44,600 –> 00:18:46,900
\nVillage of the Samaritans to
\nmake ready for him. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:18:47,500 –> 00:18:49,100
\nNow, these Samaritans wouldn’t
\nreceive him. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:18:49,100 –> 00:18:51,700
\nThey did not receive him because
\nhis face was as though he would <\/p>\n
274
\n00:18:51,700 –> 00:18:55,600
\ngo to Jerusalem and when his
\ndisciples James and John, they <\/p>\n
275
\n00:18:55,600 –> 00:18:59,200
\nare angry at those people.
\nFor mistreating their Lord, You <\/p>\n
276
\n00:18:59,200 –> 00:19:04,400
\nDon’t Preach Jesus that way.
\nAnd so they turn to Jesus as <\/p>\n
277
\n00:19:04,400 –> 00:19:09,100
\nLord without command that we Man
\nFire to come down from and burn <\/p>\n
278
\n00:19:09,100 –> 00:19:15,400
\nthem up just like Elijah did
\nShow those people, you be nice <\/p>\n
279
\n00:19:15,400 –> 00:19:16,800
\nto Jesus or will burn your eyes
\nout. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:19:19,200 –> 00:19:25,400
\nAnd Jesus turned and rebuked
\nthem and said, you know, not <\/p>\n
281
\n00:19:25,400 –> 00:19:29,500
\nwhat, manner of spirit you are
\nof for the son of man is not <\/p>\n
282
\n00:19:29,500 –> 00:19:34,100
\ncome to destroy men’s lives.
\nBut to save them. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:19:35,300 –> 00:19:36,700
\nAnd they went to another
\nVillage. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:19:37,800 –> 00:19:42,200
\nSo you see that John?
\nAt that point in his life, still<\/p>\n
285
\n00:19:42,200 –> 00:19:46,700
\nhad some growing up to do.
\nHe had been baptized, he was <\/p>\n
286
\n00:19:46,700 –> 00:19:52,600
\nfollowing Jesus but God was not
\nfinished with him yet and that <\/p>\n
287
\n00:19:53,000 –> 00:19:58,200
\nson of Thunder eventually became
\nthe Beloved Apostle of love. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:19:59,100 –> 00:20:01,500
\nAnd I can’t again, you remember
\nPeter. <\/p>\n
289
\n00:20:02,900 –> 00:20:11,700
\nJesus says to Peter, I have
\nprayed for you and when When <\/p>\n
290
\n00:20:11,800 –> 00:20:15,200
\nyou’re converted.
\nStrengthen your brother. <\/p>\n
291
\n00:20:15,300 –> 00:20:16,700
\nWhat do you mean to you when I’m
\ngone? <\/p>\n
292
\n00:20:16,700 –> 00:20:18,700
\nI’ve been with you.
\nI’ve been baptized, I’ve been <\/p>\n
293
\n00:20:18,700 –> 00:20:21,000
\nfought when I’m converted.
\nI’m converted. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:20:23,000 –> 00:20:27,800
\nNo.
\nPeter you are not yet converted.<\/p>\n
295
\n00:20:28,700 –> 00:20:32,100
\nYou will soon.
\nDidn’t I three times? <\/p>\n
296
\n00:20:32,100 –> 00:20:36,100
\nYou even know me?
\nSee, please be patient with me. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:20:36,100 –> 00:20:40,200
\nGod is not finished with me yet.
\nGod was not finished with John <\/p>\n
298
\n00:20:40,200 –> 00:20:44,100
\nwhen he was a son of Thunder he
\nwas not finished with Peter when<\/p>\n
299
\n00:20:44,100 –> 00:20:48,000
\nhe was denying his Lord.
\nAnd aren’t you thankful? <\/p>\n
300
\n00:20:48,000 –> 00:20:51,100
\nThat’s why we’re talking this
\nway what you say for he’s not <\/p>\n
301
\n00:20:51,100 –> 00:20:56,700
\nfinished with you yet.
\nBecause you still have some <\/p>\n
302
\n00:20:56,700 –> 00:20:59,900
\ngrowing up to do.
\nYou could be offended at me. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:20:59,900 –> 00:21:03,300
\nI’m sorry, if I offend you, I
\ndon’t mean to but if the truth <\/p>\n
304
\n00:21:03,300 –> 00:21:05,600
\noffends, you then I can’t help
\nthat. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:21:06,700 –> 00:21:12,400
\nBecause all of us still have
\nsome more growing up to do no <\/p>\n
306
\n00:21:12,400 –> 00:21:22,800
\nmatter how old we may be. and
\nso, We have to try to act like <\/p>\n
307
\n00:21:22,800 –> 00:21:28,300
\nJesus, even on the way to death,
\nthose who mistreated him. <\/p>\n
308
\n00:21:29,000 –> 00:21:34,500
\nHe refused to hurt.
\nHe came to save them not to <\/p>\n
309
\n00:21:34,500 –> 00:21:46,500
\ndestroy them. and so in 2nd
\nTimothy, We read in verse. 19 of<\/p>\n
310
\n00:21:46,500 –> 00:21:48,900
\nchapter 2.
\nThis was a book, the chapter we <\/p>\n
311
\n00:21:48,900 –> 00:21:51,600
\nread, nevertheless, the
\nfoundation of God. <\/p>\n
312
\n00:21:51,600 –> 00:21:55,000
\nStandeth sure, having this seal
\nthe Lord knows those that are <\/p>\n
313
\n00:21:55,000 –> 00:21:57,300
\nhis, you know, he knows about
\nyou, he knows you’re sitting <\/p>\n
314
\n00:21:57,300 –> 00:21:59,200
\ndown because David says, he
\nknows what I said. <\/p>\n
315
\n00:21:59,200 –> 00:22:01,300
\nI don’t want to stand it, he
\nknows that he knows have number <\/p>\n
316
\n00:22:01,300 –> 00:22:03,200
\nof hairs on your head, you know,
\nthat’s not very many for some of<\/p>\n
317
\n00:22:03,200 –> 00:22:05,900
\nus.
\nStillborn. <\/p>\n
318
\n00:22:05,900 –> 00:22:08,900
\nI know about the Lord knows all
\nabout us. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:22:09,400 –> 00:22:12,900
\nThat now, as a result of that,
\nlet everyone name the name of <\/p>\n
320
\n00:22:12,900 –> 00:22:16,700
\nChrist that it was name of
\nChrist depart from iniquity. <\/p>\n
321
\n00:22:16,900 –> 00:22:20,900
\nAnd he said, in a great house,
\nthere are many vessels and he <\/p>\n
322
\n00:22:20,900 –> 00:22:24,500
\ntalks about his having one body
\nbeing many part, vessels of gold<\/p>\n
323
\n00:22:24,500 –> 00:22:27,400
\nand silver vessels of wood and
\nEarth some to honor and some to <\/p>\n
324
\n00:22:27,408 –> 00:22:30,200
\ndishonor.
\nIf a man therefore Purge himself<\/p>\n
325
\n00:22:30,200 –> 00:22:33,300
\nfrom these, he shall be a vessel
\nunto honor Sanctified and meet <\/p>\n
326
\n00:22:33,300 –> 00:22:36,600
\nfor the Others use and prepared
\nunto every good work. <\/p>\n
327
\n00:22:36,800 –> 00:22:40,000
\nNow we’re coming to the part
\nabout growing up. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:22:40,000 –> 00:22:41,300
\nWhat do you want to be when you
\ngrow up? <\/p>\n
329
\n00:22:41,700 –> 00:22:44,700
\nVerse 20 to flee?
\nYouthful lusts. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:22:45,900 –> 00:22:49,100
\nGrow up, don’t do those silly
\nthings. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:22:49,100 –> 00:22:54,500
\nThat youth are so often doing.
\nAnd the sad thing about it is <\/p>\n
332
\n00:22:54,500 –> 00:22:59,200
\nthat youthful lusts even carry
\nover. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:23:00,200 –> 00:23:04,100
\nInto old age.
\nI can speak from experience now <\/p>\n
334
\n00:23:04,100 –> 00:23:12,400
\nbecause now I’m over it.
\nAnd we never stop being tempted <\/p>\n
335
\n00:23:13,100 –> 00:23:16,200
\nto sin.
\nWhen you’re no longer tempted, <\/p>\n
336
\n00:23:17,000 –> 00:23:23,400
\nyou are dead.
\nAnd so you run away from the <\/p>\n
337
\n00:23:24,200 –> 00:23:27,300
\nthings that would tempt you get
\nout of there, get away. <\/p>\n
338
\n00:23:28,300 –> 00:23:31,500
\nContinue, but follow
\nrighteousness and faith and love<\/p>\n
339
\n00:23:31,500 –> 00:23:34,700
\nand peace with them that call on
\nthe Lord, out of a pure heart. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:23:36,200 –> 00:23:41,600
\nVerse 24th, the servant of the
\nLord must not strive, but be <\/p>\n
341
\n00:23:41,600 –> 00:23:45,100
\ngentle.
\nOnly under christadelphians. <\/p>\n
342
\n00:23:45,100 –> 00:23:52,000
\nIs that what the verse says?
\nI miss quoted in the servant of <\/p>\n
343
\n00:23:52,008 –> 00:23:54,500
\nthe Lord must not strive but be
\ngentle on too. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:23:55,800 –> 00:23:59,700
\nOh man.
\nEven people in the world that <\/p>\n
345
\n00:23:59,700 –> 00:24:03,800
\naren’t even nice to you.
\nYou are gentle and kind and <\/p>\n
346
\n00:24:03,800 –> 00:24:10,400
\nthoughtful of them.
\nIn meekness instructing those <\/p>\n
347
\n00:24:10,400 –> 00:24:15,900
\nthat oppose themselves.
\nThere are people who are Their <\/p>\n
348
\n00:24:15,900 –> 00:24:20,000
\nOwn Worst Enemy.
\nThere are people, you know who <\/p>\n
349
\n00:24:20,000 –> 00:24:23,400
\njust seem to be opposing
\nthemselves, what they shoot <\/p>\n
350
\n00:24:23,400 –> 00:24:28,800
\nthemselves in the foot.
\nAnd Paul is saying, you’ve got <\/p>\n
351
\n00:24:28,800 –> 00:24:33,500
\nto be kind to these people and
\nit’s trying to help them if God <\/p>\n
352
\n00:24:33,500 –> 00:24:35,600
\nperadventure will give them
\nrepentance to the acknowledging <\/p>\n
353
\n00:24:35,600 –> 00:24:38,600
\nof the truth.
\nSo this is what it means to grow<\/p>\n
354
\n00:24:38,600 –> 00:24:41,200
\nup.
\nIt means to go against all the <\/p>\n
355
\n00:24:41,200 –> 00:24:43,400
\nthings we normally would be
\ndoing. <\/p>\n
356
\n00:24:43,600 –> 00:24:48,900
\nWe have to not react to the, to
\nthe responses of a, I have a <\/p>\n
357
\n00:24:48,908 –> 00:24:52,300
\nlittle story, I wasn’t going to
\ntell it, but my wife was to <\/p>\n
358
\n00:24:52,300 –> 00:24:57,100
\ndon’t tell that one, but It’s a
\nnewspaper, bore story and maybe <\/p>\n
359
\n00:24:57,100 –> 00:25:00,400
\nyou’ve heard it because I’ve
\ntell it lots of times, but it <\/p>\n

\nstreet and there’s walk to the <\/p>\n
370

\ncents for a paper that cost a <\/p>\n

\nthank you.
\nThe little boy never Smiles. <\/p>\n
378
\n00:26:07,500 –> 00:26:09,800
\nThe never little boy, never
\nappreciate that. <\/p>\n
379
\n00:26:09,800 –> 00:26:13,600
\nHe got paid two and a half times
\nthe price of the paper. <\/p>\n
380
\n00:26:13,700 –> 00:26:16,800
\nHe just stabbed the money as
\nPOC, paper paper and this <\/p>\n
381
\n00:26:16,800 –> 00:26:19,600
\nhappens every day, I’m New
\nYorkers. <\/p>\n
382
\n00:26:19,600 –> 00:26:21,100
\nDon’t usually talk to each
\nother. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:26:21,200 –> 00:26:24,000
\nAnother fellow who rides the
\nsame subway, follows him up <\/p>\n
384
\n00:26:24,000 –> 00:26:27,200
\nevery morning and finally said
\npardon me, mister I noticed <\/p>\n
385
\n00:26:27,200 –> 00:26:29,200
\nevery day.
\nYou’re so nice to that <\/p>\n
386
\n00:26:29,400 –> 00:26:31,300
\nmiserable.
\nLittle brat of a newspaper. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:26:31,500 –> 00:26:34,400
\nWhy are you so nice to that?
\nLittle boy, who never says, <\/p>\n
388
\n00:26:34,400 –> 00:26:36,100
\nthank you, never acknowledges
\nyour tip. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:26:39,100 –> 00:26:42,500
\nFaces.
\nI’m not going to let that little<\/p>\n
390
\n00:26:42,500 –> 00:26:47,800
\nboy.
\nTell me how to act. but you <\/p>\n
391
\n00:26:47,800 –> 00:26:53,200
\nknow, we do you be nice to me,
\nI’ll be nice to you and I feel <\/p>\n
392
\n00:26:53,200 –> 00:26:58,800
\nembarrassed you So, we’re simply
\nreacting and Jesus is teaching <\/p>\n
393
\n00:26:58,800 –> 00:27:02,800
\nus not to do that.
\nWe are kind even to those that <\/p>\n
394
\n00:27:02,800 –> 00:27:08,500
\nare ugly, thankful and that’s
\nthe lesson that we’re trying to <\/p>\n
395
\n00:27:08,500 –> 00:27:10,900
\ndrive home here.
\nWe’ve got to grow up and we <\/p>\n
396
\n00:27:10,900 –> 00:27:13,200
\ndon’t treat people the way they
\ntreat us. <\/p>\n
397
\n00:27:13,500 –> 00:27:16,900
\nWe treat people the way we ought
\nto treat them the way we would <\/p>\n
398
\n00:27:16,900 –> 00:27:20,100
\nlike to be treated.
\nNot how we are treated. <\/p>\n
399
\n00:27:21,700 –> 00:27:26,800
\nAnd so in Luke chapter 6, some
\nfavorite verses of mine. <\/p>\n
400
\n00:27:27,600 –> 00:27:32,200
\nJesus is talking to us and
\ncoming in at verse 27. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:27:32,900 –> 00:27:39,300
\nHe tells us I say unto you,
\nwhich hear Is that you? <\/p>\n
402
\n00:27:39,600 –> 00:27:42,800
\nI’m talking to you, who here are
\nyou listening? <\/p>\n
403
\n00:27:43,400 –> 00:27:46,900
\nJesus is saying, love your
\nenemies. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:27:47,800 –> 00:27:50,300
\nDo good to them, which hate you
\nbless them, that curse you pay <\/p>\n
405
\n00:27:50,300 –> 00:27:51,800
\nfor them.
\nDespitefully use you. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:27:52,100 –> 00:27:54,100
\nAnd in the smite thee on the One
\nCheek offer. <\/p>\n
407
\n00:27:54,100 –> 00:27:57,500
\nAlso the other him that taketh
\naway thy cloak forbid, not to <\/p>\n
408
\n00:27:57,500 –> 00:27:59,600
\ntake that coat.
\nAlso give to every man that <\/p>\n
409
\n00:27:59,600 –> 00:28:02,300
\nasketh of thee and of him that
\ntaketh away, thy Goods, ask them<\/p>\n
410
\n00:28:02,300 –> 00:28:04,700
\nnot again.
\nThis is not normal that people <\/p>\n
411
\n00:28:04,700 –> 00:28:07,400
\ndon’t do this.
\nThere’s turn the other cheek is <\/p>\n
412
\n00:28:07,500 –> 00:28:10,800
\nPhrase that the whole world is
\nheard, but nobody does it. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:28:12,600 –> 00:28:16,400
\nDo we?
\nAnd if you were that meant as <\/p>\n
414
\n00:28:16,400 –> 00:28:17,900
\nyou would that men should do to
\nyou. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:28:17,900 –> 00:28:22,000
\nDo you also to the not as they
\ndo to you as you would that they<\/p>\n
416
\n00:28:22,000 –> 00:28:24,500
\ndo for if you love them that
\nlove you what? <\/p>\n
417
\n00:28:24,500 –> 00:28:26,000
\nThank you?
\nYou Sinners, do that. <\/p>\n
418
\n00:28:26,800 –> 00:28:29,300
\nIf you just lend to those that
\nlender you Sinners, do that. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:28:30,300 –> 00:28:35,800
\nNow, the bottom line of this is
\ndown in verse 38, give and it <\/p>\n
420
\n00:28:35,800 –> 00:28:38,800
\nshall be given unto you good
\nmeasure pressed down shaken <\/p>\n
421
\n00:28:38,800 –> 00:28:42,100
\ntogether and running over.
\nShall men give into your bosom <\/p>\n
422
\n00:28:42,100 –> 00:28:45,500
\nfor with the same measure that
\nyou meet with all shall be <\/p>\n
423
\n00:28:45,500 –> 00:28:52,200
\nmeasured to you again.
\nHave you ever considered the <\/p>\n
424
\n00:28:52,200 –> 00:28:57,700
\nlimited mercy of God?
\nAnd people might say, wait, wait<\/p>\n
425
\n00:28:57,700 –> 00:29:00,300
\na minute, you are really off the
\nrails. <\/p>\n
426
\n00:29:00,300 –> 00:29:04,800
\nThat’s false Doctrine and you
\nwould probably take me to Psalm <\/p>\n
427
\n00:29:04,800 –> 00:29:08,600
\n103 to prove how wrong I am.
\nAs far as the East is from the <\/p>\n
428
\n00:29:08,600 –> 00:29:12,200
\nWest so far, has he removed our
\ntransgressions from us? <\/p>\n
429
\n00:29:12,600 –> 00:29:14,600
\nYou know, that verse proves the
\nEarth is round? <\/p>\n
430
\n00:29:14,700 –> 00:29:17,200
\nAnd did you ever think if God
\nhad said through David? <\/p>\n
431
\n00:29:17,300 –> 00:29:20,900
\nAs far as the north is from the
\nsouth, You start the South Pole,<\/p>\n
432
\n00:29:20,900 –> 00:29:23,600
\nkeep going north even on the
\nNorth. <\/p>\n
433
\n00:29:23,700 –> 00:29:26,200
\nYou all said you go south again.
\nYou keep going south, you ran <\/p>\n
434
\n00:29:26,200 –> 00:29:29,800
\nout of South you in order.
\nBut you go, you start East and <\/p>\n
435
\n00:29:30,000 –> 00:29:33,500
\nwait till you hit West, you
\nnever going to run into it. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:29:33,500 –> 00:29:38,000
\nIt’s in this.
\nAnd so Davidson as far as the <\/p>\n
437
\n00:29:38,000 –> 00:29:41,100
\nEast is from the West so far,
\nhas he removed our <\/p>\n
438
\n00:29:41,100 –> 00:29:44,900
\ntransgressions from which makes
\nyou say, God’s Mercy is <\/p>\n
439
\n00:29:44,900 –> 00:29:51,700
\nunlimited, and I come back and
\nsay, What is it? <\/p>\n
440
\n00:29:54,300 –> 00:29:57,700
\nAnd not of Mercy, you will
\nreceive. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:29:59,300 –> 00:30:03,200
\nIs amount of Mercy.
\nNot immersed that you give is <\/p>\n
442
\n00:30:03,200 –> 00:30:06,400
\namount of Mercy.
\nYou will receive And that’s what<\/p>\n
443
\n00:30:06,400 –> 00:30:08,400
\nJesus just said.
\nWith the same measure that you <\/p>\n
444
\n00:30:08,400 –> 00:30:12,800
\nmeet with all shall be measured
\nto you again and so it. <\/p>\n
445
\n00:30:12,800 –> 00:30:15,200
\nDo you want to receive Mercy
\nfrom Jesus? <\/p>\n
446
\n00:30:15,500 –> 00:30:20,700
\nWhen he comes you better be
\nshowing a lot of Mercy to each <\/p>\n
447
\n00:30:20,700 –> 00:30:24,700
\nother now because if you make
\nthe your brothers, are you toe <\/p>\n
448
\n00:30:24,700 –> 00:30:27,200
\nthe line up telling you?
\nThis is the way it is and don’t <\/p>\n
449
\n00:30:27,200 –> 00:30:28,900
\nyou deviate from it?
\nAnd I’m not going to give you an<\/p>\n
450
\n00:30:28,900 –> 00:30:31,300
\ninch, you probably take a mile
\nif I do. <\/p>\n
451
\n00:30:32,500 –> 00:30:36,100
\nYou’re showing no mercy.
\nYou’re not going to get <\/p>\n
452
\n00:30:36,100 –> 00:30:42,200
\nanywhere.
\nSo we as a family need to grow <\/p>\n
453
\n00:30:42,200 –> 00:30:48,200
\nup and show Mercy to people who
\ndon’t deserve it. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:30:49,900 –> 00:30:55,100
\nBecause God is kind to the
\nunthankful and to the holy and <\/p>\n
455
\n00:30:55,100 –> 00:31:00,400
\nthat’s what Jesus said.
\nLove your enemies and do good <\/p>\n
456
\n00:31:00,400 –> 00:31:03,700
\nand lend hoping for nothing
\nagain, and your reward shall be <\/p>\n
457
\n00:31:03,700 –> 00:31:06,500
\ngreat, you should be the
\nchildren of the highest for God,<\/p>\n
458
\n00:31:06,500 –> 00:31:11,100
\nis kind unto the unthankful and
\nto the evil be ye therefore <\/p>\n
459
\n00:31:11,100 –> 00:31:14,400
\nmerciful as your father is
\nmerciful. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:31:14,900 –> 00:31:19,600
\nSo is his Mercy unlimited.
\nYes, it really is so long as our<\/p>\n
461
\n00:31:19,600 –> 00:31:24,100
\nMercy is unlimited, but the
\namount of Mercy you limit to <\/p>\n
462
\n00:31:24,100 –> 00:31:28,000
\npeople that, you know, that’s
\ngot my much Mercy, you’re going <\/p>\n
463
\n00:31:28,000 –> 00:31:31,500
\nto be shown.
\nWhen you stand before your lord <\/p>\n
464
\n00:31:32,100 –> 00:31:39,100
\nin judgment.
\nAnd so we are a family. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:31:40,300 –> 00:31:45,100
\nA large family of brothers and
\nsisters and many of us are <\/p>\n
466
\n00:31:45,100 –> 00:31:47,000
\ngathered in this room this
\nevening. <\/p>\n
467
\n00:31:48,200 –> 00:31:50,700
\nNow, it’s not uncommon for
\nfamily members to sometimes <\/p>\n
468
\n00:31:50,700 –> 00:31:54,900
\ndisagree with each other,
\nsometimes they even have falling<\/p>\n
469
\n00:31:54,900 –> 00:31:57,300
\nout with each other, and that’s
\nvery sad. <\/p>\n
470
\n00:31:57,700 –> 00:32:00,900
\nWe need to be reconciled.
\nWe never go to bed angry. <\/p>\n
471
\n00:32:00,900 –> 00:32:04,800
\nIf you have had a problem with a
\nbrother or sister makeup <\/p>\n
472
\n00:32:04,900 –> 00:32:07,300
\napologize, even if you’re not
\nwrong, apologize. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:32:07,300 –> 00:32:09,400
\nSorry, you’re sorry.
\nYou’re hurt them whether he’s <\/p>\n
474
\n00:32:09,400 –> 00:32:11,200
\nwrong and I’m right.
\nOf course you would be right, <\/p>\n
475
\n00:32:11,200 –> 00:32:13,100
\nwho would you would think you’d
\nbe wrong? <\/p>\n
476
\n00:32:15,100 –> 00:32:18,500
\nBut even when you’re in the
\nright, you allow yourself to be <\/p>\n
477
\n00:32:18,500 –> 00:32:22,400
\nthe fraud.
\nWe want to live in harmony with <\/p>\n
478
\n00:32:22,400 –> 00:32:30,100
\neach other. but as much as we
\nwant that to be true, it won’t <\/p>\n
479
\n00:32:30,100 –> 00:32:35,700
\nalways be true because there are
\nsome who will not obey the Lord <\/p>\n
480
\n00:32:36,700 –> 00:32:41,200
\nand Jesus had the same
\nexperience that we’re facing. <\/p>\n
481
\n00:32:41,800 –> 00:32:47,000
\nBecause in John chapter 7, verse
\n5 were told that even Christ own<\/p>\n
482
\n00:32:47,000 –> 00:32:53,600
\nBrothers Did not believe in him.
\nNow, that’s hard to believe that<\/p>\n
483
\n00:32:53,600 –> 00:32:56,800
\nhis own flesh and blood blood
\nbrothers. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:32:57,400 –> 00:33:00,000
\nDid not believe that they
\nbelieve that that he was Jesus, <\/p>\n
485
\n00:33:01,000 –> 00:33:04,300
\nbut they didn’t believe that he
\nwas the savior of the world. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:33:06,400 –> 00:33:12,000
\nAnd yet.
\nHe was kind of them. and good <\/p>\n
487
\n00:33:12,000 –> 00:33:19,400
\nnews is that after his death
\nThey were converted, James is <\/p>\n
488
\n00:33:19,500 –> 00:33:24,100
\noldest half, brother became the
\nBeloved Apostle, who wrote the <\/p>\n
489
\n00:33:24,100 –> 00:33:27,600
\nEpistle of James, and another
\nyounger. <\/p>\n
490
\n00:33:27,700 –> 00:33:32,000
\nHalf-brother Jude wrote our book
\nof Jude. <\/p>\n
491
\n00:33:32,600 –> 00:33:36,900
\nSo One lesson to learn in this
\nis we never give up. <\/p>\n
492
\n00:33:37,900 –> 00:33:41,900
\nI’ll members of our family are
\nmembers that we known that just <\/p>\n
493
\n00:33:41,900 –> 00:33:45,800
\nhave not embraced the truth.
\nHave not been baptized yet. <\/p>\n
494
\n00:33:46,000 –> 00:33:51,900
\nNever never give up on them.
\nBut we want to tell a story and <\/p>\n
495
\n00:33:51,900 –> 00:33:56,700
\nthen tied into a lesson on
\nfamilies as we draw our thoughts<\/p>\n
496
\n00:33:56,700 –> 00:34:00,600
\nto a close and the story, it’s a
\ntrue story. <\/p>\n
497
\n00:34:01,500 –> 00:34:04,600
\nIt has to do with a it’s an
\nancient history story, it’s a <\/p>\n
498
\n00:34:04,608 –> 00:34:09,000
\nhistory as a lesson in history,
\npeople think that history is <\/p>\n
499
\n00:34:09,000 –> 00:34:10,800
\nboring but it isn’t what
\nhappened yesterday. <\/p>\n
500
\n00:34:10,800 –> 00:34:13,000
\nYou still history might have
\nbeen very excited. <\/p>\n
501
\n00:34:13,000 –> 00:34:16,300
\nWhat happened you yesterday?
\nIts history But has to do with a<\/p>\n
502
\n00:34:16,308 –> 00:34:20,100
\nman named Alexander.
\nThe Great. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:34:21,199 –> 00:34:24,600
\nAnd he was the greatest General
\nsome say even now that ever <\/p>\n
504
\n00:34:24,600 –> 00:34:30,800
\nlived he conquered the known
\nworld in his early thirties and <\/p>\n
505
\n00:34:30,800 –> 00:34:34,500
\nwhen he would have a battle and
\nbe Victorious and he was always <\/p>\n
506
\n00:34:34,500 –> 00:34:37,400
\nwinning.
\nHe was celebrated the end of the<\/p>\n
507
\n00:34:37,400 –> 00:34:41,400
\nday when the battle was over
\nwith his generals and his <\/p>\n
508
\n00:34:41,400 –> 00:34:45,400
\nofficers.
\nAnd they would party. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:34:46,600 –> 00:34:50,100
\nAnd they would bring into
\nAlexander, any soldiers who had <\/p>\n
510
\n00:34:50,100 –> 00:34:55,600
\ndone some great heroic deed and
\ntell Alexander this man did <\/p>\n
511
\n00:34:55,600 –> 00:34:57,200
\nthis.
\nAnd that and he would pin a <\/p>\n
512
\n00:34:57,207 –> 00:35:00,900
\nmedal on them and those soldiers
\nwould give their life to have <\/p>\n
513
\n00:35:00,900 –> 00:35:03,200
\nAlexander put a metal on their
\nchest. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:35:04,700 –> 00:35:09,200
\nAnd go off being so pleased that
\nthey’ve been recognized for <\/p>\n
515
\n00:35:09,200 –> 00:35:14,000
\ntheir bravery.
\nBut he had a after they got <\/p>\n
516
\n00:35:14,000 –> 00:35:19,600
\nthrough rewarding the good guys,
\nif there was anyone who had been<\/p>\n
517
\n00:35:19,900 –> 00:35:23,700
\nnegligent in his duty, it would
\nalso bring those in before <\/p>\n
518
\n00:35:23,700 –> 00:35:28,000
\nAlexander and they would recite
\nhis crime. <\/p>\n
519
\n00:35:28,200 –> 00:35:34,200
\nHis offense, and Alexander would
\nnormally say, execute whom he <\/p>\n
520
\n00:35:34,200 –> 00:35:36,200
\nwould.
\nHe kept alive of whom he would, <\/p>\n
521
\n00:35:36,200 –> 00:35:38,900
\nhe slew?
\nThose words are referred in <\/p>\n
522
\n00:35:38,900 –> 00:35:40,300
\nDaniel.
\nNot that Alexander. <\/p>\n
523
\n00:35:40,300 –> 00:35:45,600
\nBut they applied to He had no
\njudge and jury, he was it, what <\/p>\n
524
\n00:35:45,600 –> 00:35:48,100
\nhe said.
\nAnd so on one particular <\/p>\n
525
\n00:35:48,100 –> 00:35:52,100
\nevening, they brought in a young
\nSoldier, he’s in, he’s just late<\/p>\n
526
\n00:35:52,100 –> 00:35:56,500
\nteens and 18, 19 years old and
\nhe had left his guard post <\/p>\n
527
\n00:35:56,500 –> 00:36:01,200
\nduring battle, and he was not
\nwhere you’re supposed to be, and<\/p>\n
528
\n00:36:01,200 –> 00:36:05,300
\nthey captured him and they
\nbrought him in to Alexander to <\/p>\n
529
\n00:36:05,300 –> 00:36:07,800
\ntell Alexander what this young
\nman had done. <\/p>\n
530
\n00:36:08,200 –> 00:36:12,700
\nNow, the young man thought he
\nhad between Five and ten minutes<\/p>\n
531
\n00:36:12,700 –> 00:36:17,300
\nto live, because soon as they
\nrecited his crimes to Alexander <\/p>\n
532
\n00:36:17,300 –> 00:36:20,900
\nis a Kelly, they take him out
\nand he’d be dead. <\/p>\n
533
\n00:36:22,300 –> 00:36:24,600
\nSo, they bring this young man
\nin, and he’s so upset, he’s <\/p>\n
534
\n00:36:24,600 –> 00:36:26,500
\ncrying.
\nAnd he can’t walk. <\/p>\n
535
\n00:36:26,500 –> 00:36:28,900
\nSo, they’ve got his arms around
\nto soldiers and they’re dragging<\/p>\n
536
\n00:36:28,900 –> 00:36:31,200
\nhim in like this, and he’s
\nsobbing like that. <\/p>\n
537
\n00:36:31,300 –> 00:36:32,500
\nWhen they bring him in, for all,
\nhe’s done. <\/p>\n
538
\n00:36:32,600 –> 00:36:35,600
\nThey let go of a just Falls flat
\non his face right in front of <\/p>\n
539
\n00:36:35,607 –> 00:36:38,700
\nAlexander.
\nHe slang their prostate sobbing <\/p>\n
540
\n00:36:38,700 –> 00:36:41,000
\nknowing that he doesn’t have
\nminutes to live. <\/p>\n
541
\n00:36:41,400 –> 00:36:45,200
\nAnd they said to Alexander the
\nGreat, this young man left his <\/p>\n
542
\n00:36:45,200 –> 00:36:49,300
\nguard post in battle.
\nAnd they just expect me to say <\/p>\n
543
\n00:36:49,700 –> 00:36:50,600
\ntake him away.
\nKill him. <\/p>\n
544
\n00:36:51,400 –> 00:36:53,200
\nMaybe Alexander was in a good
\nmood that night. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:36:53,200 –> 00:36:55,800
\nWe don’t know why he did this
\ndifferently. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:36:55,800 –> 00:36:57,900
\nBut he said soldier, what’s your
\nname? <\/p>\n
547
\n00:36:59,300 –> 00:37:02,100
\nAnd the soldiers lying on the
\nground, lift up his head. <\/p>\n
548
\n00:37:04,700 –> 00:37:08,500
\nAlexander sir.
\nWell, this great General went <\/p>\n
549
\n00:37:08,500 –> 00:37:12,100
\ninto our rage, he’s a soldier.
\nI said, what’s your name? <\/p>\n
550
\n00:37:13,400 –> 00:37:16,600
\nHe reached out and he grabs him
\nand he’d be just what’s your <\/p>\n
551
\n00:37:16,600 –> 00:37:20,400
\nname?
\nAlexander sir. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:37:20,800 –> 00:37:25,900
\nYes, that’s my name.
\nHe’s a soldier. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:37:25,900 –> 00:37:31,800
\nI’m going to let you live.
\nBut from now on change your name<\/p>\n
554
\n00:37:32,200 –> 00:37:37,700
\nor change the way you live, he
\ngave him a shot of the soldiers <\/p>\n
555
\n00:37:37,700 –> 00:37:42,700
\ngrabbed him and took him away.
\nThen what’s the point of the <\/p>\n
556
\n00:37:42,700 –> 00:37:46,400
\nstory?
\nWhat do we call ourselves? <\/p>\n
557
\n00:37:46,400 –> 00:37:48,600
\nWhat what’s the name on the wall
\noutside? <\/p>\n
558
\n00:37:48,600 –> 00:37:52,700
\nWhich is what this group called.
\nKristen Ali? <\/p>\n
559
\n00:37:52,900 –> 00:37:57,000
\nWhat does that mean?
\nChrist Brothers. <\/p>\n
560
\n00:37:59,800 –> 00:38:05,700
\nAlexander didn’t want, the do
\nnot want a young soldier named <\/p>\n
561
\n00:38:05,700 –> 00:38:10,700
\nAlexander.
\nActing in a cowardly way. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:38:12,400 –> 00:38:19,100
\nThat’s my name, you live up to
\nmy name or change your name. <\/p>\n
563
\n00:38:21,000 –> 00:38:23,000
\nAnd you want to call yourself a
\nChristian delphian. <\/p>\n
564
\n00:38:23,900 –> 00:38:30,900
\nCome to Mark chapter 3, please.
\nBecause this is the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
565
\n00:38:30,900 –> 00:38:34,000
\ntalking and this lesson has to
\ndo with families that has to do <\/p>\n
566
\n00:38:34,000 –> 00:38:37,900
\nwith us growing up.
\nAnd in Mark chapter 3. <\/p>\n
567
\n00:38:45,200 –> 00:38:51,700
\nWe’ll start in, at verse. 31.
\nWell. <\/p>\n
568
\n00:38:53,600 –> 00:38:57,400
\nWe’re starting at verse 20, the
\nmultitude came together so that <\/p>\n
569
\n00:38:57,400 –> 00:38:59,300
\nthey could not so much as eat
\nbread. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:39:00,200 –> 00:39:07,000
\nAnd when his family, King James
\nsays, says friends but other <\/p>\n
571
\n00:39:07,000 –> 00:39:11,100
\nversions say, family heard of
\nit, they went out to lay, hold <\/p>\n
572
\n00:39:11,100 –> 00:39:14,700
\non him for they said he is
\nbeside himself in modern <\/p>\n
573
\n00:39:14,700 –> 00:39:19,400
\nversion, say he is crazy that
\nnow, who is this? <\/p>\n
574
\n00:39:19,600 –> 00:39:22,500
\nThis is the family of Jesus.
\nNow don’t forget. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:39:22,500 –> 00:39:24,900
\nThey didn’t believe in him.
\nThey loved him, but they didn’t <\/p>\n
576
\n00:39:24,900 –> 00:39:29,800
\nbelieve in him.
\nNow they ever even got the <\/p>\n
577
\n00:39:29,800 –> 00:39:33,800
\nmother of Jesus Christ on their
\nside. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:39:35,900 –> 00:39:40,000
\nWe will see that just a minute
\nbecause in verse 21 they have <\/p>\n
579
\n00:39:40,000 –> 00:39:43,700
\ncome to him to, what were they
\ngoing to do? <\/p>\n
580
\n00:39:44,300 –> 00:39:48,800
\nThey were going to lay hold on
\nhim you see his brothers and his<\/p>\n
581
\n00:39:48,800 –> 00:39:53,200
\nsisters said to Mary you know,
\nhe’s beside himself, he’s not <\/p>\n
582
\n00:39:53,200 –> 00:39:55,400
\ntaking care of himself.
\nHe doesn’t even it says it says <\/p>\n
583
\n00:39:55,400 –> 00:39:58,400
\nyou didn’t have time to eat.
\nHe’s not getting enough rest. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:39:58,400 –> 00:40:01,400
\nHe’s not getting enough food and
\nyou know mothers. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:40:01,400 –> 00:40:04,200
\nAre you mothers?
\nYou know how you want to make <\/p>\n
586
\n00:40:04,200 –> 00:40:07,400
\nsure your children get enough?
\nRest of you, get enough food and<\/p>\n
587
\n00:40:07,400 –> 00:40:11,200
\nso they’re all concerned that
\nJesus is going to harm his <\/p>\n
588
\n00:40:11,200 –> 00:40:13,600
\nhealth.
\nHe’s not taking care of himself,<\/p>\n
589
\n00:40:13,600 –> 00:40:15,700
\nso we’re going to go and get
\nJesus. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:40:15,900 –> 00:40:18,100
\nWe’re going to lay hold on him.
\nWe’re going to take him home and<\/p>\n
591
\n00:40:18,100 –> 00:40:20,900
\ngive him a good cup of hot soup
\nand putting to bed. <\/p>\n
592
\n00:40:21,900 –> 00:40:24,800
\nI mean, this is, this is what
\nthe family is, and they got <\/p>\n
593
\n00:40:24,800 –> 00:40:28,400
\nmarried involved in it.
\nAnd so it come down to verse 31.<\/p>\n
594
\n00:40:29,000 –> 00:40:33,500
\nNow, the thing is that So many
\npeople had come to listen to <\/p>\n
595
\n00:40:33,500 –> 00:40:39,500
\nJesus, that the room was packed.
\nAnd when she gets to the back of<\/p>\n
596
\n00:40:39,508 –> 00:40:45,500
\nthe house, she goes in the back
\ndoor and it’s full of people all<\/p>\n
597
\n00:40:45,500 –> 00:40:49,600
\nlistening to Jesus.
\nEveryone’s eyes on Jesus as he’s<\/p>\n
598
\n00:40:49,600 –> 00:40:53,800
\ntalking to them and there’s his
\nmother in the back and you know <\/p>\n
599
\n00:40:54,100 –> 00:40:59,000
\nand she yeah yeah.
\nWho Jesus is it mother? <\/p>\n
600
\n00:40:59,100 –> 00:41:07,500
\nI’m back here that we, you know
\nhow mothers are I’m she loved <\/p>\n
601
\n00:41:07,500 –> 00:41:09,400
\nhim now.
\nHerbie his brothers and sisters,<\/p>\n
602
\n00:41:09,400 –> 00:41:13,600
\nalso loved him.
\nThey didn’t believe in him, but <\/p>\n
603
\n00:41:13,600 –> 00:41:16,800
\nthey loved him.
\nAnd they’re trying to take him <\/p>\n
604
\n00:41:16,800 –> 00:41:19,200
\nby force.
\nTake him away. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:41:20,800 –> 00:41:24,600
\nAnd Jesus knew him because Jesus
\ncould read minds. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:41:25,100 –> 00:41:29,000
\nHe knew why they were there.
\nHe knew what they wanted to do. <\/p>\n
607
\n00:41:29,600 –> 00:41:33,800
\nAnd there she is and they can’t
\neven get in his mother’s. <\/p>\n
608
\n00:41:33,800 –> 00:41:38,400
\nBrothers were standing outside
\nand so they sent to him call him<\/p>\n
609
\n00:41:38,700 –> 00:41:41,900
\nand the crowd was sitting about
\nhim and you can just picture <\/p>\n
610
\n00:41:41,900 –> 00:41:44,700
\nnow, Mary’s at the back of the
\nroom there, and all of you <\/p>\n
611
\n00:41:44,700 –> 00:41:47,300
\npeople are here and Jesus is up
\nin front. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:41:48,200 –> 00:41:50,600
\nAnd she’s trying to get his
\nattention and he’s paying node. <\/p>\n
613
\n00:41:50,600 –> 00:41:53,300
\nHe’s just talking to you.
\nHe’s so engrossed in trying to <\/p>\n
614
\n00:41:53,308 –> 00:41:58,400
\nhelp you people be saved.
\nHe is, he is, he is totally <\/p>\n
615
\n00:41:58,400 –> 00:42:01,800
\ncommitted to the people that are
\nlistening to him, and people who<\/p>\n
616
\n00:42:01,800 –> 00:42:02,800
\ndon’t have time to listen to
\nyou. <\/p>\n
617
\n00:42:03,100 –> 00:42:05,700
\nHe’s not paying attention, he’s
\npaying attention those who do <\/p>\n
618
\n00:42:06,500 –> 00:42:09,300
\nand she can’t get his attention.
\nSo she Taps the fell on the <\/p>\n
619
\n00:42:09,300 –> 00:42:12,700
\nback, their shoulders.
\nA, what do you want? <\/p>\n
620
\n00:42:12,800 –> 00:42:15,700
\nI’m, I’m his mayor of mother.
\nWould you tell him? <\/p>\n
621
\n00:42:15,700 –> 00:42:17,600
\nI’m back here.
\nOkay. <\/p>\n
622
\n00:42:17,800 –> 00:42:24,100
\nSo all the way up this, what do
\nyou want his mother’s back? <\/p>\n
623
\n00:42:24,100 –> 00:42:26,400
\nYou’re telling the family in the
\nfront row. <\/p>\n
624
\n00:42:27,400 –> 00:42:29,900
\nSomeone says, oh Jesus, that’s
\nI’m not making this up. <\/p>\n
625
\n00:42:29,900 –> 00:42:35,600
\nThis is right here in the Bible
\nverse 32, the crowd was sitting <\/p>\n
626
\n00:42:35,600 –> 00:42:37,900
\nabout him and they said in here
\nyour mother and your brothers <\/p>\n
627
\n00:42:37,900 –> 00:42:39,800
\nare outside asking for you and
\nyour pride. <\/p>\n
628
\n00:42:40,600 –> 00:42:44,600
\nSo finally you see when you give
\nme the word, your mother’s back <\/p>\n
629
\n00:42:44,600 –> 00:42:48,400
\nthere, She’s home.
\nSo really, you know, he’s got, <\/p>\n
630
\n00:42:48,900 –> 00:42:53,400
\nI’m home.
\nWhat does the Bible say? <\/p>\n
631
\n00:42:53,400 –> 00:42:57,300
\nHe did.
\nLet’s read it. <\/p>\n
632
\n00:42:58,900 –> 00:43:04,900
\nFirst 33, he replied.
\nWho are my mother? <\/p>\n
633
\n00:43:05,900 –> 00:43:09,900
\nAnd my brothers.
\nHe did not look. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:43:11,000 –> 00:43:16,500
\nBack at his own mother and his
\nfamily who were trying to get <\/p>\n
635
\n00:43:16,500 –> 00:43:20,300
\nhim and take him away from doing
\nGod’s work because they loved <\/p>\n
636
\n00:43:20,300 –> 00:43:21,800
\nhim.
\nThey thought they were doing <\/p>\n
637
\n00:43:21,800 –> 00:43:24,000
\nwhat was right for him, but they
\nwere wrong, you see? <\/p>\n
638
\n00:43:24,700 –> 00:43:27,200
\nAnd he looked around.
\nHe says he didn’t look at them. <\/p>\n
639
\n00:43:27,200 –> 00:43:33,500
\nHe looked at you he’s just here.
\nHere are my mother and my <\/p>\n
640
\n00:43:33,500 –> 00:43:39,600
\nbrothers for whoever does the
\nwill of God is my brother and <\/p>\n
641
\n00:43:39,600 –> 00:43:42,500
\nsister.
\nAnd mother. <\/p>\n
642
\n00:43:44,000 –> 00:43:48,100
\nAnd are we getting the point?
\nYou call yourself a Christian <\/p>\n
643
\n00:43:48,100 –> 00:43:51,100
\ndelphian that means brother of
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
644
\n00:43:52,100 –> 00:43:55,200
\nJesus says, who is my mother?
\nWho are my brothers? <\/p>\n
645
\n00:43:55,200 –> 00:44:00,400
\nWho are my sisters, those who
\ncall themselves by my name, it’s<\/p>\n
646
\n00:44:00,400 –> 00:44:03,000
\nwonderful to be called a
\nchristadelphians, but you know <\/p>\n
647
\n00:44:03,000 –> 00:44:08,700
\nwhat that means.
\nIt means you have to live up to <\/p>\n
648
\n00:44:08,700 –> 00:44:13,900
\nthe name.
\nAlexander said change your name <\/p>\n
649
\n00:44:14,600 –> 00:44:17,500
\nor change the way you live the
\nLord. <\/p>\n
650
\n00:44:17,500 –> 00:44:21,400
\nJesus Christ is saying You’re
\nnot my mother. <\/p>\n
651
\n00:44:21,700 –> 00:44:24,300
\nYou’re not my brother, you’re
\nnot my sister. <\/p>\n
652
\n00:44:24,300 –> 00:44:29,800
\nIf you don’t do my command, the
\nwill of God, commands of God. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:44:30,800 –> 00:44:35,700
\nso, you see, Even the family of
\nJesus, that one point. <\/p>\n
654
\n00:44:36,900 –> 00:44:40,500
\nNeeded to be converted and
\nthat’s why we’re talking so long<\/p>\n
655
\n00:44:40,500 –> 00:44:42,600
\nabout what do you want to be
\nwhen you grow up? <\/p>\n
656
\n00:44:43,700 –> 00:44:49,500
\nWe all have some growing up
\nstill to do, no matter how long <\/p>\n
657
\n00:44:49,500 –> 00:44:54,900
\nwe’ve been in the truth.
\nWe still need to grow up more <\/p>\n
658
\n00:44:55,600 –> 00:44:59,000
\nthat all the same, some are more
\nfully grown than others but <\/p>\n
659
\n00:44:59,000 –> 00:45:03,700
\nthere’s no one in this room who
\nhas all. <\/p>\n
660
\n00:45:04,300 –> 00:45:06,800
\nNone of us know what we ought to
\nknow, says, Paul. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:45:07,500 –> 00:45:12,000
\nWe all are leaky vessels and
\nthat’s why we come to meetings. <\/p>\n
662
\n00:45:12,000 –> 00:45:15,500
\nLike it’s why we do our bye.
\nReadings every day, we’re <\/p>\n
663
\n00:45:15,500 –> 00:45:20,000
\nconstantly have to replenish.
\nThey are, we we want to live up <\/p>\n
664
\n00:45:20,000 –> 00:45:24,300
\nto the name of Christ Christ.
\nBrother, Christ sister. <\/p>\n
665
\n00:45:25,300 –> 00:45:31,400
\nAnd if we stop doing what he
\nsaid, then change your name. <\/p>\n
666
\n00:45:32,700 –> 00:45:42,300
\nOr change the way you live.
