Class 1 from this series was used for GCT Episode 250<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:05,560 –> 00:00:08,119
\nbrothers and sisters.
\nThank you for braving the the. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:08,119 –> 00:00:08,960
\nCold.
\nWell, I think it’s. <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:08,960 –> 00:00:13,160
\nCold anyway, being a
\nQueenslander. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:15,040 –> 00:00:17,480
\nWell.
\nBrothers and sisters, this is. <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:17,480 –> 00:00:19,800
\nWhere God gives us the
\nopportunity. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:20,360 –> 00:00:22,640
\nTo sit in the.
\nDriver’s seat, so to speak. <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:24,520 –> 00:00:28,000
\nOne of the important things
\nabout coming to know God and <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:28,000 –> 00:00:29,560
\ncoming to.
\nReflect his character. <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:30,290 –> 00:00:35,130
\nIs that we need to know.
\nWhat he goes through every day. <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:35,290 –> 00:00:39,770
\nFor us and what he’s done by
\ngiving us. <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:39,770 –> 00:00:42,810
\nThe power to forgive.
\nHe’s encouraging. <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:42,810 –> 00:00:47,610
\nUs to think like him so in.
\nActual fact he’s putting. <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:47,730 –> 00:00:50,810
\nA lot of control in our hands
\nand he’s saying. <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:52,290 –> 00:00:53,490
\nIt’s up to you.
\nYou have a go. <\/p>\n
16
\n00:00:54,930 –> 00:00:58,170
\nSee how you go.
\nSo we come then to this <\/p>\n
17
\n00:00:58,170 –> 00:01:00,050
\nresponse.
\nAnd this is very challenging. <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:00,330 –> 00:01:03,210
\nIt is a challenging.
\nPart I find it challenging, <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:03,290 –> 00:01:05,330
\npersonally.
\nBecause it involves the. <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:05,370 –> 00:01:07,610
\nApplication of all.
\nThe principles we’ve. <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:07,690 –> 00:01:10,890
\nWe’ve looked at this weekend,
\nour personal involvement. <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:10,890 –> 00:01:16,250
\nThis is the part where we come
\nto understand really what God is<\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:16,250 –> 00:01:19,530
\ndoing for us, and it’s.
\nThis this section. <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:19,530 –> 00:01:22,170
\nThis morning, brothers and
\nsisters, really is the true <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:22,170 –> 00:01:24,490
\nmeasure.
\nOf our understanding and <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:24,490 –> 00:01:27,730
\nappreciation.
\nOf what it really means to be <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:27,730 –> 00:01:33,850
\nreconciled with God?
\nNo, we we talk about God. <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:33,850 –> 00:01:36,130
\nManifestation reflecting God’s
\ncharacter. <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:36,650 –> 00:01:38,210
\nAnd we say it’s a wonderful
\nsubject. <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:38,370 –> 00:01:40,610
\nTo consider and it is.
\nIt’s a, it’s a. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:40,930 –> 00:01:44,410
\nA beautiful subject.
\nIt’s amazing honor for human <\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:44,410 –> 00:01:47,050
\nbeings.
\nTo have that privilege to try <\/p>\n
33
\n00:01:47,050 –> 00:01:50,170
\nand act out, I say try.
\nBecause we all. <\/p>\n
34
\n00:01:50,170 –> 00:01:54,270
\nFail miserably at this.
\nTo try and act out the character<\/p>\n
35
\n00:01:54,590 –> 00:01:56,670
\nwho.
\nWe are instinctively. <\/p>\n
36
\n00:01:56,870 –> 00:02:01,710
\nAt enmity with our instincts are
\nopposite even our Lord. <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:01,710 –> 00:02:04,470
\nJesus Christ instincts were
\nopposite to his father’s. <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:04,710 –> 00:02:10,430
\nNot my will, but thine be done.
\nWe don’t like to forgive. <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:11,910 –> 00:02:14,510
\nIt’s contrary to our nature.
\nWe don’t like to. <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:14,510 –> 00:02:16,830
\nForgive and forget for those of
\nwho have wronged us. <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:17,430 –> 00:02:20,830
\nBecause we think the.
\nKind of mind thinks. <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:21,660 –> 00:02:25,580
\nThat they need to pay.
\nFor what they’ve done, and we <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:25,580 –> 00:02:32,660
\nharbor things in our minds we
\nneed. <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:33,300 –> 00:02:35,820
\nBrothers and sisters.
\nTo come to an understanding that<\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:35,820 –> 00:02:39,660
\nthose things have to be let go.
\nSo remember our three <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:39,660 –> 00:02:43,620
\nconditions.
\nThe process that we’ve looked at<\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:43,620 –> 00:02:46,820
\nhere is the confession of sin,
\nthe repentance. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:47,300 –> 00:02:50,500
\nAnd conversion and So what this
\nmorning we’re going to look. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:50,500 –> 00:02:54,940
\nAt this this 4th condition.
\nSo come to come to Matthew. 6 <\/p>\n
50
\n00:02:55,340 –> 00:03:00,140
\nThis is a critical.
\nCondition and God cannot work <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:00,140 –> 00:03:04,620
\nwith us unless we involve
\nourselves in this process. <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:05,500 –> 00:03:09,180
\nSo Matthew 6 and verse 12, let’s
\ncome in. <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:09,820 –> 00:03:16,180
\nHalfway through the Lord’s.
\nPrayer here where we read. <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:17,630 –> 00:03:19,630
\nForgive us our.
\nDebts, as we forgive our <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:19,630 –> 00:03:23,390
\ndebtors, lead us not into
\ntemptation, but deliver us from <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:23,390 –> 00:03:25,550
\nevil.
\nFor thine is the Kingdom, and <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:25,550 –> 00:03:27,870
\nthe power, and the glory
\nforever. <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:27,990 –> 00:03:30,510
\nAmen.
\nAnd the first thing he says <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:30,510 –> 00:03:35,270
\nimmediately after that prayer.
\nFor if you forgive men, the <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:35,270 –> 00:03:39,030
\ntrespasses your heavenly.
\nFather will also forgive you. <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:41,390 –> 00:03:45,190
\nBut if you forgive not men, the
\ntrespasses neither. <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:45,900 –> 00:03:48,940
\nWill or can?
\nYour father, forgive your <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:48,940 –> 00:03:51,700
\ntrespasses.
\nHe’s not in a position. <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:51,980 –> 00:03:55,540
\nTo forgive us.
\nBecause we’re not forgiving <\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:55,780 –> 00:03:59,700
\nothers, Mark, 11, says.
\nThis, And when you stand <\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:59,700 –> 00:04:03,300
\npraying.
\nForgive if you have aught <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:03,300 –> 00:04:03,980
\nagainst.
\nAny. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:04,420 –> 00:04:06,900
\nThat your father also witches.
\nIn heaven may forgive your. <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:06,900 –> 00:04:09,620
\nTrespasses again.
\nGod wants to forgive. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:09,620 –> 00:04:12,380
\nUs.
\nHe awaits our response. <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:13,740 –> 00:04:16,310
\nBut if you do not forgive.
\nSays Mark. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:16,829 –> 00:04:19,029
\nNeither will your father, which
\nis in. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:19,029 –> 00:04:22,870
\nHeaven, forgive your trespasses
\nso. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:23,150 –> 00:04:27,230
\nYou can see then that my
\npersonal forgiveness from God. <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:27,750 –> 00:04:29,750
\nIs.
\nConditional upon the way that. <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:29,750 –> 00:04:33,430
\nI forgive others.
\nAnd there is one little extra <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:33,430 –> 00:04:36,070
\nthing that we need to know here,
\nbrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:36,070 –> 00:04:38,150
\nThat’s this.
\nRemember in our last session. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:38,430 –> 00:04:41,830
\nWe saw how God was proactive,
\nhow he initiated. <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:41,830 –> 00:04:44,430
\nThe forgiveness, that process.
\nWherever he could. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:45,910 –> 00:04:47,870
\nWell, he wants us as we sit in
\nthe. <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:47,990 –> 00:04:49,470
\nIn the driver’s seat, so to
\nspeak. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:49,550 –> 00:04:52,190
\nWith the controls to do that as
\nwell. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:04:52,670 –> 00:04:56,310
\nHe wants us to try and initiate
\nthe process. <\/p>\n
85
\n00:04:56,630 –> 00:04:59,190
\nIf indeed we.
\nThink that someone has something<\/p>\n
86
\n00:04:59,190 –> 00:05:01,270
\nagainst us and we know that from
\nMatthew 5. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:01,430 –> 00:05:02,550
\nShall we have a look at that
\ntoo? <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:02,550 –> 00:05:08,230
\nMatthew 5 and verse 23 And that
\nsays. <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:08,230 –> 00:05:11,590
\nThis therefore, if they’ll bring
\nthy gift. <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:11,590 –> 00:05:13,960
\nTo the altar.
\nAnd there remembers that thy <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:13,960 –> 00:05:15,360
\nbrother hath aught.
\nAgainst thee. <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:17,640 –> 00:05:20,680
\nSo it’s not you with the
\nproblem, your. <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:20,680 –> 00:05:22,920
\nBrother has something against
\nyou. <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:24,040 –> 00:05:29,360
\nGod said Christ says here verse
\n24 leave there thy gift before. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:29,360 –> 00:05:32,680
\nThe altar.
\nAnd go thy way. <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:33,920 –> 00:05:38,120
\nFirst be reconciled to thy
\nbrother, and then come. <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:38,920 –> 00:05:44,890
\nAnd offer your gift.
\nNow if both parties do this, we <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:44,890 –> 00:05:48,450
\nhave success and if.
\nOne party is not doing it and <\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:48,450 –> 00:05:50,530
\nthe other one is.
\nSuccess as well. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:05:50,770 –> 00:05:52,890
\nInitiate if you think.
\nThat you’ve been wrong. <\/p>\n
101
\n00:05:53,410 –> 00:05:56,530
\nOr whatever it is initiate.
\nThat process. <\/p>\n
102
\n00:05:56,930 –> 00:06:00,930
\nTake the initiative in saving
\nyour brother or your sister. <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:01,170 –> 00:06:06,210
\nWhatever that the case may be.
\nSee the the Spirit of God in <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:06,210 –> 00:06:09,530
\nwhich he would like us to.
\nTo frame our relationships. <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:09,810 –> 00:06:12,730
\nIt’s a desire to be.
\nTo be in fellowship with each. <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:12,730 –> 00:06:14,450
\nOther That’s what it is.
\nNo, not. <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:15,210 –> 00:06:16,690
\nNow that we it’s not going to
\nbe. <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:16,690 –> 00:06:18,290
\nAlways possible brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:18,970 –> 00:06:21,810
\nTo do that, But God says I want
\nyou to drive. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:21,810 –> 00:06:26,010
\nToward unity with your brothers
\nand sisters, whether it’s on an <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:26,010 –> 00:06:29,250
\nEcclesia level or a personal
\nlevel, whatever that may be. <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:30,530 –> 00:06:34,210
\nThat should always be our goal.
\nRemember, an old brother said <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:34,210 –> 00:06:35,650
\nonce.
\nIf we know anything. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:35,650 –> 00:06:38,210
\nAbout God at all, We know that
\nhe. <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:38,210 –> 00:06:40,810
\nLoves unity.
\nAnd why is that so? <\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:40,810 –> 00:06:44,490
\nBecause God is.
\nOne he’s not 2. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:44,770 –> 00:06:49,250
\nOr three he’s.
\nOne God he loves. <\/p>\n
118
\n00:06:49,250 –> 00:06:52,410
\nUnity.
\nHe loves this cohesive spirit. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:06:54,610 –> 00:06:56,010
\nSo.
\nThis is a major condition. <\/p>\n
120
\n00:06:56,690 –> 00:06:59,450
\nThis is a big condition.
\nNow we’ve just read from first <\/p>\n
121
\n00:06:59,450 –> 00:07:03,010
\nJohn 4 this chapter.
\nWe have the core motivation <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:03,690 –> 00:07:06,570
\nglaring out.
\nOf why God does what He does, <\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:06,610 –> 00:07:07,490
\nit’s because.
\nOf love. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:07,610 –> 00:07:10,760
\nLove is of God.
\nThe word love. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:10,760 –> 00:07:14,640
\nAppears in John’s Gospel.
\nAnd his epistles more than any <\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:14,640 –> 00:07:18,120
\nother gospel.
\nOr epistle in the Bible, the New<\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:18,120 –> 00:07:22,760
\nTestament, because he is so
\nfocused on this concept of love.<\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:25,560 –> 00:07:26,920
\nBut if God.
\nLoves. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:27,240 –> 00:07:31,200
\nWhat he creates the converse is
\nequally true. <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:31,520 –> 00:07:34,560
\nHe hates that which he.
\nDoesn’t create because. <\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:34,600 –> 00:07:37,400
\nIt’s opposite to him.
\nOpposite to the way he thinks <\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:38,160 –> 00:07:40,980
\nso.
\nFirst grin thins 13 Verse three <\/p>\n
133
\n00:07:40,980 –> 00:07:41,740
\nsays this.
\nYou know this. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:07:41,740 –> 00:07:43,260
\nYou don’t have to turn this up,
\nsays this. <\/p>\n
135
\n00:07:43,700 –> 00:07:45,900
\nThough I bestow.
\nAll. <\/p>\n
136
\n00:07:45,900 –> 00:07:51,900
\nMy goods to feed the poor.
\nAnd though I give my. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:07:51,900 –> 00:07:56,540
\nBody to be burned.
\nNow that’s extreme, Paul says. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:07:57,540 –> 00:08:03,420
\nIf I have not love, I have
\nnothing. <\/p>\n
139
\n00:08:05,020 –> 00:08:09,230
\nI have no thing.
\nNothing at all. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:09,670 –> 00:08:12,790
\nIt’s actually empty.
\nThat’s. <\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:14,030 –> 00:08:17,430
\nThat’s incredible, isn’t it To.
\nTo think that we could live our <\/p>\n
142
\n00:08:17,430 –> 00:08:20,990
\nlives totally in the truth, but
\nwe we do so without love, it <\/p>\n
143
\n00:08:20,990 –> 00:08:24,590
\nprofits.
\nMe nothing. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:08:30,690 –> 00:08:32,330
\nLook how that.
\nYou think about the. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:08:32,490 –> 00:08:36,090
\nConcepts of love here.
\nOh, there we go. <\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:37,890 –> 00:08:40,530
\nOK, so proverbs.
\nIs this proverbs? <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:40,860 –> 00:08:46,820
\nSays hatred stirs up strife, but
\nlove covers all sins. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:47,260 –> 00:08:51,620
\nHe that covereth A transgression
\nseeks love, but he that repeats <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:51,620 –> 00:08:56,620
\na matter separates very friends.
\nThe contemporary English version<\/p>\n
150
\n00:08:57,100 –> 00:08:59,060
\nputs that.
\nYou will keep your friends if <\/p>\n
151
\n00:08:59,060 –> 00:09:02,220
\nyou forgive them, but you will
\nlose your. <\/p>\n
152
\n00:09:02,220 –> 00:09:07,540
\nFriends, if you keep talking
\nabout what they did wrong, love.<\/p>\n
153
\n00:09:07,950 –> 00:09:12,070
\nMust be at the core of
\neverything we do and this. <\/p>\n
154
\n00:09:12,110 –> 00:09:14,150
\nSelf.
\nSacrificing love, which we know <\/p>\n
155
\n00:09:14,150 –> 00:09:17,670
\nis agape love.
\nIs the key to forgiving. <\/p>\n
156
\n00:09:17,670 –> 00:09:19,550
\nOthers I will forgive.
\nYou. <\/p>\n
157
\n00:09:19,910 –> 00:09:23,550
\nAt my personal expense, that’s
\nwhat God is actually looking <\/p>\n
158
\n00:09:23,550 –> 00:09:25,030
\nfor.
\nSo we’ve got to ask the <\/p>\n
159
\n00:09:25,030 –> 00:09:29,110
\nquestion.
\nThen as we think about this, is <\/p>\n
160
\n00:09:29,110 –> 00:09:31,390
\nthere a sin?
\nThat God will not forgive. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:09:33,990 –> 00:09:37,360
\nWe looked at this yesterday.
\nAnd we decided the answer was <\/p>\n
162
\n00:09:37,360 –> 00:09:39,520
\nno.
\nApart from thinking that God <\/p>\n
163
\n00:09:39,520 –> 00:09:42,840
\ncan’t forgive us, there is
\nactually no sin that God will <\/p>\n
164
\n00:09:42,840 –> 00:09:45,640
\nnot forgive.
\nHe knows our thoughts. <\/p>\n
165
\n00:09:45,640 –> 00:09:47,920
\nHe knows our frame.
\nHe knows the frailness of our <\/p>\n
166
\n00:09:47,920 –> 00:09:51,320
\nthinking so.
\nHe’s prepared to cover all sins,<\/p>\n
167
\n00:09:51,320 –> 00:09:56,960
\nwhatever they are.
\nIs there then a? <\/p>\n
168
\n00:09:56,960 –> 00:10:06,160
\nSin that you can’t forgive.
\nIs there a sin? <\/p>\n
169
\n00:10:07,440 –> 00:10:11,840
\nThat you can’t forgive.
\nAnd in our minds there’s very <\/p>\n
170
\n00:10:11,840 –> 00:10:14,800
\ngrave sins and there’s very
\nsmall light, light things. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:10:16,640 –> 00:10:17,800
\nIt’s a good thing to think
\nabout. <\/p>\n
172
\n00:10:18,040 –> 00:10:20,280
\nBut just a word of.
\nExplanation here about what he’s<\/p>\n
173
\n00:10:20,280 –> 00:10:21,280
\nactually.
\nGot is. <\/p>\n
174
\n00:10:21,320 –> 00:10:24,960
\nExpecting of us.
\nSo at the moment there’s only. 2<\/p>\n
175
\n00:10:24,960 –> 00:10:27,800
\nbeings in the universe.
\nThat can forgive sins. <\/p>\n
176
\n00:10:27,800 –> 00:10:32,280
\nThat’s God and his Son Jesus
\nChrist to forgive actual sins. <\/p>\n
177
\n00:10:32,680 –> 00:10:36,030
\nInvolves power.
\nWe know that. <\/p>\n
178
\n00:10:36,030 –> 00:10:39,350
\nTo be true, it involves power to
\nforgive sins. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:10:39,350 –> 00:10:43,070
\nSo the man that was let down.
\nAnd he was. <\/p>\n
180
\n00:10:43,070 –> 00:10:44,110
\nHe was paralyzed.
\nHe was. <\/p>\n
181
\n00:10:44,110 –> 00:10:48,750
\nLet down through.
\nThe Roof to show people their <\/p>\n
182
\n00:10:49,110 –> 00:10:50,950
\nGod’s power.
\nJesus went to the. <\/p>\n
183
\n00:10:50,950 –> 00:10:52,910
\nCore of the problem.
\nAnd he forgave his. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:10:52,910 –> 00:10:56,070
\nSins now he went to the very.
\nRoot of the issue, he said. <\/p>\n
185
\n00:10:56,070 –> 00:10:58,710
\nAs far as your paralysis,
\nparalysis is concerned. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:10:58,870 –> 00:11:01,870
\nDon’t worry too much about that.
\nThat’s only a temporary element.<\/p>\n
187
\n00:11:02,370 –> 00:11:03,850
\nI’m going to.
\nFix the real problem. <\/p>\n
188
\n00:11:04,610 –> 00:11:06,530
\nAnd in his power he forgave
\nsins. <\/p>\n
189
\n00:11:06,810 –> 00:11:09,450
\nThe Pharisees grumbled and said,
\nWho is this that can forgive <\/p>\n
190
\n00:11:09,450 –> 00:11:13,730
\nsins?
\nOf course he to show the <\/p>\n
191
\n00:11:13,730 –> 00:11:16,370
\nPharisees that indeed he had.
\nThat power, he went on. <\/p>\n
192
\n00:11:16,490 –> 00:11:19,290
\nTo to to heal the.
\nThe man that was sick of the <\/p>\n
193
\n00:11:19,290 –> 00:11:22,690
\nposing, so we need power to
\nforgive. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:11:23,290 –> 00:11:25,050
\nPower.
\nTo discern the thoughts and <\/p>\n
195
\n00:11:25,050 –> 00:11:27,850
\nintents of the heart.
\nOnly those two beings can do <\/p>\n
196
\n00:11:27,850 –> 00:11:29,290
\nthis.
\nTo forgive. <\/p>\n
197
\n00:11:30,120 –> 00:11:32,080
\nTo determine motives and
\nobjectives. <\/p>\n
198
\n00:11:32,080 –> 00:11:34,280
\nOf the mind.
\nSo can you see that? <\/p>\n
199
\n00:11:34,280 –> 00:11:36,720
\nThis is actually not our our
\nrole or purpose. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:11:37,440 –> 00:11:39,920
\nIt’s not our responsibility.
\nWe don’t have that power. <\/p>\n
201
\n00:11:40,400 –> 00:11:43,840
\nTo decide, you know, like.
\nBrothers and sisters, I am hard <\/p>\n
202
\n00:11:43,840 –> 00:11:45,760
\npressed to discern my own
\nmotives. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:11:46,000 –> 00:11:50,160
\nLet alone judge yours so this
\nrole. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:11:50,160 –> 00:11:54,480
\nPrimarily belongs to God and now
\nhis Son. <\/p>\n
205
\n00:11:54,840 –> 00:11:56,960
\nSo our response then is limited
\nto. <\/p>\n
206
\n00:11:57,940 –> 00:12:04,180
\nForgiving the.
\nPerson not the morality of what <\/p>\n
207
\n00:12:04,180 –> 00:12:07,180
\nthey have done or haven’t done.
\nWe forgive the person. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:12:07,180 –> 00:12:09,340
\nLet me let me show you.
\nMatthew 6 says this. <\/p>\n
209
\n00:12:09,580 –> 00:12:12,820
\nForgive us our debts as.
\nWe forgive. <\/p>\n
210
\n00:12:13,020 –> 00:12:18,340
\nOur debtors, it doesn’t say
\nforgive us, our sins, our debts.<\/p>\n
211
\n00:12:18,700 –> 00:12:22,260
\nAs we forgive the sins.
\nOf those who have wronged us. <\/p>\n
212
\n00:12:23,340 –> 00:12:26,180
\nIt’s the.
\nPerson that we forgive. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:12:27,050 –> 00:12:31,130
\nAnd one more Luke 11 verse 4.
\nForgive us our sins, for we are,<\/p>\n
214
\n00:12:31,290 –> 00:12:36,050
\nfor we also forgive everyone
\nthat is indebted to us. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:12:40,170 –> 00:12:44,050
\nCan you hear that difference?
\nWe don’t forgive the sin. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:12:44,650 –> 00:12:46,730
\nWe can’t.
\nWe don’t have that power, that <\/p>\n
217
\n00:12:46,730 –> 00:12:49,290
\nauthority, to do so.
\nOnly God. <\/p>\n
218
\n00:12:49,290 –> 00:12:54,130
\nForgives sin the deed done.
\nOr the wrong thought. <\/p>\n
219
\n00:12:54,730 –> 00:12:56,210
\nWrong action that that we need
\nto. <\/p>\n
220
\n00:12:56,210 –> 00:13:00,130
\nLeave that to God.
\nHe’s merely asking us to forgive<\/p>\n
221
\n00:13:01,010 –> 00:13:04,450
\nthe person.
\nIt’s really important that we <\/p>\n
222
\n00:13:04,450 –> 00:13:06,890
\nmake that clear difference
\nbetween God’s work and our work.<\/p>\n
223
\n00:13:06,890 –> 00:13:10,330
\nBecause the implications are
\nactually quite big, you see if. <\/p>\n
224
\n00:13:10,330 –> 00:13:13,050
\nWe’re in the business.
\nOf forgiving sin. <\/p>\n
225
\n00:13:13,050 –> 00:13:15,810
\nItself, we would need to.
\nAs God. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:13:15,810 –> 00:13:21,130
\nDoes look and wait for
\nconfession, repentance and <\/p>\n
227
\n00:13:21,130 –> 00:13:23,530
\nconversion, and that might not
\nhappen. <\/p>\n
228
\n00:13:24,060 –> 00:13:26,140
\nAt all or.
\nFor years and years after. <\/p>\n
229
\n00:13:28,900 –> 00:13:31,140
\nWe can only judge.
\nAfter the seeing of our eyes and<\/p>\n
230
\n00:13:31,140 –> 00:13:34,500
\nthe.
\nHearing of our ears, and even <\/p>\n
231
\n00:13:34,500 –> 00:13:36,820
\nthen even.
\nThen our judgment is faulty, <\/p>\n
232
\n00:13:36,820 –> 00:13:39,860
\noften, in my personal experience
\nat least. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:13:43,580 –> 00:13:45,340
\nSo we do not.
\nNeed to wait for those things. <\/p>\n
234
\n00:13:45,340 –> 00:13:47,060
\nConfession, repentance and
\nconversion. <\/p>\n
235
\n00:13:47,340 –> 00:13:51,420
\nIt’s not our job, so we can
\nforgive. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:13:52,300 –> 00:13:56,260
\nLeave the sin to.
\nGod, that’s. <\/p>\n
237
\n00:13:56,260 –> 00:14:00,020
\nGod’s area to deal with, to deal
\nwith that individual or those <\/p>\n
238
\n00:14:00,020 –> 00:14:02,660
\nindividuals, whatever the case.
\nIs Leave it to God. <\/p>\n
239
\n00:14:03,260 –> 00:14:05,660
\nLet him work his good work with.
\nThem as well. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:14:08,620 –> 00:14:10,020
\nNow I want to.
\nSay this as well, brother. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:14:10,020 –> 00:14:13,460
\nAnd sisters, that God is very,
\nvery aware of our. <\/p>\n
242
\n00:14:13,460 –> 00:14:17,540
\nWeaknesses in this area now.
\nIf we have trouble with sin. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:14:18,380 –> 00:14:21,340
\nAnd we know that we’re never,
\never going to get on top of sin <\/p>\n
244
\n00:14:21,460 –> 00:14:23,460
\nin the days of immortality.
\nWhere then it’s. <\/p>\n
245
\n00:14:23,580 –> 00:14:26,580
\nEqually true that we’re going to
\nstruggle with forgiveness, <\/p>\n
246
\n00:14:27,020 –> 00:14:31,660
\nthat’s a given we will struggle
\nwith forgiving each other. <\/p>\n
247
\n00:14:33,940 –> 00:14:36,340
\nWe can’t forgive and forget.
\nWell, I don’t. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:14:36,340 –> 00:14:38,460
\nI don’t forgive and forget.
\nI know God. <\/p>\n
249
\n00:14:38,460 –> 00:14:42,060
\nDoes because.
\nGod says I’ll remember thy sin, <\/p>\n
250
\n00:14:42,300 –> 00:14:45,300
\nthe sins no more.
\nAnd we can’t do that. <\/p>\n
251
\n00:14:45,300 –> 00:14:50,870
\nDo you know what we do instead?
\nWe forgive and we keep. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:14:50,870 –> 00:14:55,510
\nRemembering that we have
\nforgiven, we remind ourselves. <\/p>\n
253
\n00:14:55,630 –> 00:15:00,910
\nOf that fact and also.
\nForgiveness. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:15:00,910 –> 00:15:03,150
\nBetween ourselves can sometimes
\ntake. <\/p>\n
255
\n00:15:03,310 –> 00:15:07,110
\nA lot of time because often
\nthere’s a lot of damage. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:15:07,670 –> 00:15:10,990
\nIt can take time.
\nBecause of our limitations. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:15:11,390 –> 00:15:13,790
\nOur emotions.
\nThere are some. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:15:13,790 –> 00:15:16,070
\nShocking things that we do.
\nAgainst each other. <\/p>\n
259
\n00:15:16,940 –> 00:15:20,780
\nAnd these matters can sometimes
\nbe not an overnight fix, but <\/p>\n
260
\n00:15:20,780 –> 00:15:26,060
\nmatters that we need to present
\nto God in earnest prayer, asking<\/p>\n
261
\n00:15:26,060 –> 00:15:29,220
\nfor strength and the foresight
\nand foreknowledge. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:15:29,220 –> 00:15:31,140
\nTo be able to forgive your
\nbrother. <\/p>\n
263
\n00:15:31,180 –> 00:15:34,620
\nOr sister we need.
\nTo seek his help. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:15:34,620 –> 00:15:37,420
\nAnd rest upon his kindness, that
\nhe knows our frame. <\/p>\n
265
\n00:15:37,820 –> 00:15:40,180
\nJust exactly how frail we are.
\nWhether. <\/p>\n
266
\n00:15:40,180 –> 00:15:43,500
\nThat’s emotionally.
\nPsychologically, spiritually, <\/p>\n
267
\n00:15:43,860 –> 00:15:48,030
\nwhatever it is.
\nWe are frail creatures. <\/p>\n
268
\n00:15:48,030 –> 00:15:52,110
\nWe are.
\nFrail of mind and body, and not <\/p>\n
269
\n00:15:52,110 –> 00:15:54,590
\nto think that well, it is at the
\nend of the matter. <\/p>\n
270
\n00:15:54,590 –> 00:15:56,950
\nIt is this is, this is the end
\nof the world. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:15:56,950 –> 00:15:59,310
\nBecause I I can’t find it in
\nmyself to forgive. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:15:59,310 –> 00:16:03,230
\nAnd I I feel so wretched that I
\nmaybe I should be forgiving, and<\/p>\n
273
\n00:16:03,230 –> 00:16:06,070
\nI’m not.
\nPrayer Brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n
274
\n00:16:06,830 –> 00:16:09,710
\npray to God for strength that
\nyou can arrive at that frame of <\/p>\n
275
\n00:16:09,710 –> 00:16:14,430
\nmind where you can say yes, I
\nthink I can, just let go of this<\/p>\n
276
\n00:16:14,430 –> 00:16:16,480
\nnow.
\nBecause I’m so. <\/p>\n
277
\n00:16:16,480 –> 00:16:20,240
\nAppreciative of how God?
\nContinually forgives me and <\/p>\n
278
\n00:16:20,400 –> 00:16:22,880
\nallows me to turn from my own
\niniquities. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:16:25,520 –> 00:16:27,560
\nSo God is very, very aware of
\nthe. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:16:27,560 –> 00:16:30,560
\nFrailness of our own nature.
\nIt’s a struggle that’s. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:16:30,560 –> 00:16:33,200
\nWhat’s important to God?
\nHe needs to see us. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:16:33,200 –> 00:16:37,520
\nTry to make a genuine effort and
\nit’s not the end of the world if<\/p>\n
283
\n00:16:37,520 –> 00:16:42,960
\nwe’re struggling on this matter,
\nso maybe it’s a good exercise if<\/p>\n
284
\n00:16:42,960 –> 00:16:44,600
\nwe are struggling with this at
\nthe moment. <\/p>\n
285
\n00:16:45,430 –> 00:16:48,270
\nYou know, we think that we’ve
\nbeen wronged and we probably in <\/p>\n
286
\n00:16:48,270 –> 00:16:50,710
\nsome cases have been.
\nBadly wronged and mistreated. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:16:50,710 –> 00:16:53,390
\nMaltreated And God doesn’t
\ndiscount. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:16:53,390 –> 00:16:54,990
\nThat what?
\nWhat’s one little? <\/p>\n
289
\n00:16:54,990 –> 00:16:59,670
\nBit.
\nBut can it be a good exercise, <\/p>\n
290
\n00:16:59,670 –> 00:17:03,990
\nthen, to put our grievances next
\nto a man? <\/p>\n
291
\n00:17:04,630 –> 00:17:07,589
\nWho is enduring a?
\nHorrific crucifixion. <\/p>\n
292
\n00:17:08,869 –> 00:17:12,190
\nHe’s hanging on a cross, utterly
\nnaked. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:17:12,950 –> 00:17:16,069
\nNow this is the most moral man
\nthat ever lived and. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:17:16,069 –> 00:17:17,430
\nLook at him.
\nHe’s hanging on this cross. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:17:17,589 –> 00:17:21,950
\nHe’s bleeding all over.
\nHe’s and while the, the, the. <\/p>\n
296
\n00:17:21,950 –> 00:17:25,109
\nPerpetrators are inflicting this
\nupon. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:17:25,109 –> 00:17:33,510
\nHim and laughing at him, he says
\nforgive them because they don’t.<\/p>\n
298
\n00:17:33,510 –> 00:17:38,870
\nUnderstand what they’re doing.
\nSo you talk about physical <\/p>\n
299
\n00:17:38,870 –> 00:17:41,030
\nabuse?
\nTalk about. <\/p>\n
300
\n00:17:41,030 –> 00:17:47,470
\nMoral abuse, Mental abuse,
\nwhatever it is, how does it <\/p>\n
301
\n00:17:47,470 –> 00:17:51,910
\nright?
\nNext to that man, and he’s. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:17:51,950 –> 00:17:55,350
\nAsking to forgive the people
\nwhilst the very act. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:17:55,350 –> 00:17:58,030
\nIs taking place.
\nNot the next day or the next <\/p>\n
304
\n00:17:58,030 –> 00:18:00,430
\nyear, the next Millennium,
\nwhatever it is. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:18:00,870 –> 00:18:04,150
\nIt’s right then he’s.
\nDealing with it in his mind, <\/p>\n
306
\n00:18:04,310 –> 00:18:08,550
\nhe’s letting it go because he
\nunderstands. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:18:09,270 –> 00:18:14,230
\nTo hold that.
\nGrudge can be so, so <\/p>\n
308
\n00:18:14,350 –> 00:18:18,430
\ndebilitating.
\nAnd he He’s not going to do <\/p>\n
309
\n00:18:18,430 –> 00:18:20,870
\nthat.
\nBut if you do not forgive, <\/p>\n
310
\n00:18:21,110 –> 00:18:23,310
\nneither will your Father, which
\nis in heaven, forgive. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:18:23,310 –> 00:18:27,710
\nYour trespasses.
\nNow does that mean then? <\/p>\n
312
\n00:18:29,070 –> 00:18:31,230
\nWe’ve got to race up to.
\nThe person or persons that have <\/p>\n
313
\n00:18:31,230 –> 00:18:32,630
\nhurt us.
\nRight. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:18:32,870 –> 00:18:33,550
\nYou know, race up.
\nTo the. <\/p>\n
315
\n00:18:33,550 –> 00:18:35,270
\nPerpetrator.
\nThe culprit, The offender, <\/p>\n
316
\n00:18:35,390 –> 00:18:38,790
\nwhoever it is.
\nAnd tell them wonderful news. <\/p>\n
317
\n00:18:39,700 –> 00:18:41,380
\nI forgive you.
\nIs that it? <\/p>\n
318
\n00:18:41,380 –> 00:18:45,780
\nIs that the answer?
\nI don’t think so, not at all <\/p>\n
319
\n00:18:45,940 –> 00:18:48,860
\nthat can.
\nActually be quite damaging in <\/p>\n
320
\n00:18:48,860 –> 00:18:50,980
\nthe healing process for both
\nparties. <\/p>\n
321
\n00:18:52,220 –> 00:18:55,420
\nIt may well have the.
\nOpposite effect because every <\/p>\n
322
\n00:18:55,420 –> 00:18:58,700
\nsituation is different.
\nI think the answer. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:19:00,500 –> 00:19:02,260
\nIn fact, let’s turn this show.
\nMatthew 18. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:19:02,300 –> 00:19:03,500
\nYou have a look.
\nHere’s the answer to the <\/p>\n
325
\n00:19:03,500 –> 00:19:05,980
\nproblem.
\nThis is where. <\/p>\n
326
\n00:19:06,220 –> 00:19:12,120
\nGod wants us to work.
\nSo Matthew 18 the verse 35 says <\/p>\n
327
\n00:19:15,520 –> 00:19:17,280
\nso now.
\nThis is the chapter. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:19:17,280 –> 00:19:18,760
\nOf forgiveness.
\nWe’ve been looking at this <\/p>\n
329
\n00:19:18,760 –> 00:19:22,840
\nweekend, this so likewise shall
\nmy Heavenly Father. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:19:23,840 –> 00:19:27,960
\nDo also unto you if ye Now
\nhere’s the key. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:19:28,840 –> 00:19:35,000
\nFrom your heart, forgive not
\neveryone his brother. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:19:36,200 –> 00:19:42,370
\nTheir trespasses.
\nThat’s it there from your heart.<\/p>\n
333
\n00:19:42,370 –> 00:19:47,210
\nThat’s where it occurs.
\nIt’s in your heart where that <\/p>\n
334
\n00:19:47,410 –> 00:19:52,450
\nforgiving act takes.
\nPlace not necessarily even out <\/p>\n
335
\n00:19:52,450 –> 00:19:55,490
\nloud.
\nSo then the forgiveness. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:19:55,490 –> 00:19:58,250
\nOf your brother and sister in
\nthe end. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:19:58,250 –> 00:19:59,850
\nBrothers and sisters, you know
\nit’s between. <\/p>\n
338
\n00:20:00,050 –> 00:20:06,570
\nIt’s between you and God.
\nLeave God to deal. <\/p>\n
339
\n00:20:07,140 –> 00:20:09,460
\nWith the brother or sister,
\nfriend, whoever it is. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:20:09,700 –> 00:20:11,060
\nLeave.
\nLeave that to God. <\/p>\n
341
\n00:20:11,740 –> 00:20:17,340
\nBut you forgive from your.
\nHeart that’s is well. <\/p>\n
342
\n00:20:17,340 –> 00:20:21,220
\nPleasing to our Heavenly Father.
\nGod is looking for. <\/p>\n
343
\n00:20:21,220 –> 00:20:23,580
\nSomething from us rather than
\nsisters, that is a. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:20:23,580 –> 00:20:28,300
\nWilling spirit of forgiveness.
\nAn attitude that is merciful and<\/p>\n
345
\n00:20:28,300 –> 00:20:32,140
\nkind, long-suffering,
\ncompassionate, recognize. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:20:32,140 –> 00:20:34,500
\nThose characteristics.
\nGod says. <\/p>\n
347
\n00:20:35,300 –> 00:20:39,020
\nJeremiah says this of God
\nunderstand and know me that I am<\/p>\n
348
\n00:20:39,020 –> 00:20:40,540
\nYahweh which.
\nExercised. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:20:40,540 –> 00:20:43,300
\nLoving kindness, judgment, and
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n
350
\n00:20:43,300 –> 00:20:46,100
\nIn the earth for in.
\nThese things I did. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:20:46,180 –> 00:20:52,020
\nNot say to Yahweh.
\nSome years ago I was. <\/p>\n
352
\n00:20:52,020 –> 00:20:56,340
\nTalking to an elderly lady.
\nAnd. <\/p>\n
353
\n00:20:56,380 –> 00:21:03,220
\nI was aware that she was abused
\nby her father when she was a <\/p>\n
354
\n00:21:03,220 –> 00:21:07,510
\nlittle girl.
\nAnd her father wasn’t in the <\/p>\n
355
\n00:21:07,510 –> 00:21:10,990
\ntruth at that stage.
\nAnd I knew it was taking its <\/p>\n
356
\n00:21:10,990 –> 00:21:17,070
\ntoll on her and many, many
\nyears. <\/p>\n
357
\n00:21:17,070 –> 00:21:24,190
\nLater, her father was baptized
\nbecause of the wonderful example<\/p>\n
358
\n00:21:24,190 –> 00:21:28,910
\nof her, the girl’s.
\nMother and the consistent way in<\/p>\n
359
\n00:21:29,350 –> 00:21:31,670
\nwhich her mother handled her
\nlife. <\/p>\n
360
\n00:21:32,800 –> 00:21:35,000
\nAnd and I said to.
\nThis elderly sister, I said. <\/p>\n
361
\n00:21:37,680 –> 00:21:41,600
\nWhat are your thoughts?
\nOn on all that now that he’s a <\/p>\n
362
\n00:21:41,600 –> 00:21:44,200
\nbaptized brother and.
\nHow have you dealt with? <\/p>\n
363
\n00:21:44,200 –> 00:21:47,960
\nThat in your mind and.
\nHarasser was very, very logical <\/p>\n
364
\n00:21:47,960 –> 00:21:50,880
\nand simple, She simply.
\nSaid this the hurt? <\/p>\n
365
\n00:21:52,200 –> 00:21:54,520
\nIs still there.
\nSo that’s the consequence. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:21:55,800 –> 00:22:00,720
\nThe hurt is still there.
\nBut she said with all my heart. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:22:01,980 –> 00:22:02,940
\nI hope.
\nHe’s in the Kingdom. <\/p>\n
368
\n00:22:02,940 –> 00:22:14,820
\nOf God with all my heart, And
\nshe never told him that. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:22:15,540 –> 00:22:19,220
\nBecause he had passed away.
\nSo he doesn’t have to know that <\/p>\n
370
\n00:22:21,780 –> 00:22:23,980
\nshe had forgiven him from her
\nheart. <\/p>\n
371
\n00:22:24,260 –> 00:22:25,980
\nAnd she wants.
\nHim to be in the Kingdom of God,<\/p>\n
372
\n00:22:26,220 –> 00:22:27,980
\nbecause at that point, she said.
\nI know. <\/p>\n
373
\n00:22:28,220 –> 00:22:29,420
\nThat this.
\nWhole thing. <\/p>\n
374
\n00:22:30,540 –> 00:22:33,080
\nWill be healed.
\nAnd she also said. <\/p>\n
375
\n00:22:33,720 –> 00:22:39,600
\nI know that that suffering has
\nshaped my life to become a <\/p>\n
376
\n00:22:39,600 –> 00:22:43,480
\nsofter person.
\nSo she understood what God was <\/p>\n
377
\n00:22:43,520 –> 00:22:47,640
\nactually.
\nDoing Remember we looked at the <\/p>\n
378
\n00:22:47,640 –> 00:22:49,760
\nparable of the unmerciful
\nservant in Matthew 18. <\/p>\n
379
\n00:22:49,760 –> 00:22:51,200
\nYou’re probably.
\nStill there, which is good. <\/p>\n
380
\n00:22:52,880 –> 00:22:55,880
\nVerse 27 just picking up where
\nwe left off yesterday. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:22:55,880 –> 00:22:59,560
\nHe loosed him and.
\nForgave him the debt loosed. <\/p>\n
382
\n00:22:59,560 –> 00:23:02,630
\nHim and.
\nTwo things forgave the dead. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:23:03,510 –> 00:23:04,790
\nAnd of course we saw that that
\nwas. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:23:05,110 –> 00:23:08,990
\nMuch more than he ever asked.
\nThat term, that lovely term, <\/p>\n
385
\n00:23:08,990 –> 00:23:11,190
\nmuch more.
\nRight through Romans 5. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:23:12,150 –> 00:23:15,190
\nNow, here, now, is the proof
\nthat this servant did not in any<\/p>\n
387
\n00:23:15,190 –> 00:23:17,550
\nway.
\nAppreciate the gravity of. <\/p>\n
388
\n00:23:17,670 –> 00:23:20,790
\nHis sin, or indeed what had been
\ndone? <\/p>\n
389
\n00:23:20,790 –> 00:23:25,550
\nFor him, let me just.
\nJust show you that. <\/p>\n
390
\n00:23:25,670 –> 00:23:27,670
\nJust have a look at.
\nI meant to show you this before.<\/p>\n
391
\n00:23:27,990 –> 00:23:30,820
\nSee the way, John?
\nFocuses on love. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:23:30,980 –> 00:23:36,540
\nHis Gospel 27 His Epistle 28.
\nLook at the rest. <\/p>\n
393
\n00:23:36,540 –> 00:23:41,020
\nOf the I think John is making a
\npoint, don’t you think? <\/p>\n
394
\n00:23:41,780 –> 00:23:45,020
\nSo here we go, verse 28.
\nBut the same. <\/p>\n
395
\n00:23:45,020 –> 00:23:48,780
\nServant went out and found one
\nof his fellow servants. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:23:49,020 –> 00:23:53,700
\nWhich owed him 100.
\nPence, and he laid hands on him.<\/p>\n
397
\n00:23:54,140 –> 00:23:56,820
\nAnd took him by the.
\nThroat saying, Pay me that thou <\/p>\n
398
\n00:23:56,820 –> 00:23:59,100
\nowest.
\nNow he obviously owed. <\/p>\n
399
\n00:23:59,100 –> 00:24:00,860
\nSomething.
\nAnd that’s God acknowledging, <\/p>\n
400
\n00:24:00,900 –> 00:24:03,700
\nyes, I know that you have
\nactually been hurt. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:24:03,900 –> 00:24:07,100
\nYou have.
\nBeen offended and you are <\/p>\n
402
\n00:24:07,100 –> 00:24:10,620
\nhurting.
\nI acknowledge that 100 pence. <\/p>\n
403
\n00:24:11,420 –> 00:24:14,860
\nBut he.
\nGrabs him by the throat and he <\/p>\n
404
\n00:24:14,860 –> 00:24:18,340
\nsays.
\nPay me that you are. <\/p>\n
405
\n00:24:18,620 –> 00:24:20,740
\nHe wasn’t treated.
\nLike that his Lord didn’t grab <\/p>\n
406
\n00:24:20,740 –> 00:24:24,740
\nhim by the throat.
\nHe reasoned gently with him. <\/p>\n
407
\n00:24:26,050 –> 00:24:28,450
\nYou know, I think brothers.
\nAnd sisters, I think it’s true <\/p>\n
408
\n00:24:28,890 –> 00:24:30,450
\nfor all of us because God will
\nwant to. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:24:30,450 –> 00:24:31,490
\nTest us.
\nAll of us. <\/p>\n
410
\n00:24:31,490 –> 00:24:36,010
\nIn this area.
\nI think sometime or other. <\/p>\n
411
\n00:24:36,090 –> 00:24:39,090
\nWe all will.
\nCome upon a. <\/p>\n
412
\n00:24:39,090 –> 00:24:45,290
\nCircumstance in which God will.
\nRest will test and our <\/p>\n
413
\n00:24:45,290 –> 00:24:46,930
\nreactions.
\nTo the to to this. <\/p>\n
414
\n00:24:47,570 –> 00:24:50,290
\nType of thinking.
\nHe will test us to a fellow <\/p>\n
415
\n00:24:50,290 –> 00:24:54,010
\nbrother or sister somewhere
\nalong the line in God’s purpose <\/p>\n
416
\n00:24:54,050 –> 00:24:55,730
\nand Providence.
\nWe will be tested. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:24:56,580 –> 00:24:58,980
\nIn our lives.
\nAnd at that point we’ll have to <\/p>\n
418
\n00:24:58,980 –> 00:25:00,380
\nmake.
\nDecisions as to whether. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:25:00,380 –> 00:25:10,460
\nWe are going to worry about the
\n200 pence or whether it be able.<\/p>\n
420
\n00:25:10,460 –> 00:25:14,340
\nTo be forgiven.
\nSo think about this. <\/p>\n
421
\n00:25:14,820 –> 00:25:17,780
\nWhen we, when we.
\nHold out against. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:25:17,780 –> 00:25:19,900
\nPeople we sort of think about.
\nHere’s a bit of a list about. <\/p>\n
423
\n00:25:20,020 –> 00:25:23,500
\nPerhaps some of the things that
\nare in our minds maybe a <\/p>\n
424
\n00:25:23,500 –> 00:25:25,860
\nfinancial debt.
\nIt might be an argument. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:25:25,860 –> 00:25:29,300
\nWhich has caused ill.
\nFeeling it might be gossip. <\/p>\n
426
\n00:25:29,940 –> 00:25:34,020
\nMisunderstandings, different
\nopinions, and of course, abuse. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:25:34,020 –> 00:25:35,700
\nWe’ve touched on that one,
\nwhether that’s. <\/p>\n
428
\n00:25:35,860 –> 00:25:39,540
\nMental, physical, sexual abuse.
\nThey’re all covered. <\/p>\n
429
\n00:25:40,100 –> 00:25:42,020
\nUnder the in in this this.
\nContext. <\/p>\n
430
\n00:25:42,620 –> 00:25:45,940
\nWhat about false accusation?
\nMocking derision. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:25:46,340 –> 00:25:48,660
\nSpitting.
\nScourging crucifixion. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:25:49,820 –> 00:25:52,620
\nAll those things.
\nThere’s a little. <\/p>\n
433
\n00:25:52,620 –> 00:25:56,690
\nRoom that’s often.
\nIn our minds we we hold that and<\/p>\n
434
\n00:25:56,690 –> 00:26:00,010
\nmakes us.
\nFeel as if we’re making that <\/p>\n
435
\n00:26:00,010 –> 00:26:02,650
\nperson pay for the ill.
\nDone. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:26:06,650 –> 00:26:11,370
\nImagine if we were to open that
\ndoor we were able to get. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:26:11,370 –> 00:26:14,610
\nInto the mind, your mind walk
\nalong the corridor. <\/p>\n
438
\n00:26:15,170 –> 00:26:16,970
\nAnd here we come to the big
\ndoor. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:26:17,170 –> 00:26:21,970
\nThe big.
\nSolid grudge door and we open <\/p>\n
440
\n00:26:21,970 –> 00:26:22,930
\nall.
\nThe locks. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:26:24,240 –> 00:26:27,280
\nThat are all round the door.
\nAnd we swing. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:26:27,280 –> 00:26:30,160
\nThe door open, it’s because
\nwe’re going to clean it out. <\/p>\n
443
\n00:26:31,000 –> 00:26:40,840
\nAnd there in the center of the
\nroom is 1 solitary person and <\/p>\n
444
\n00:26:40,840 –> 00:26:47,600
\nthat person is actually you.
\nI heard a saying recently and it<\/p>\n
445
\n00:26:47,600 –> 00:26:50,480
\nwent.
\nLike this to forgive. <\/p>\n
446
\n00:26:54,940 –> 00:26:58,580
\nTo to forgive is to set the
\ncaptive. <\/p>\n
447
\n00:26:58,580 –> 00:27:04,700
\nFree and then you suddenly.
\nRealize that the captive. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:27:04,900 –> 00:27:09,860
\nWas me.
\nThat person has probably moved. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:27:09,860 –> 00:27:14,140
\nOn or not even worried about
\nthings in some some <\/p>\n
450
\n00:27:14,140 –> 00:27:18,380
\ncircumstances.
\nBut we lock ourselves up if we <\/p>\n
451
\n00:27:18,380 –> 00:27:20,840
\nhold grudges.
\nWe are not only we. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:27:20,840 –> 00:27:23,040
\nThrowing out fellow fellow
\nservant in prison. <\/p>\n
453
\n00:27:24,200 –> 00:27:27,320
\nWe are throwing ourselves there
\nas well, and more often than <\/p>\n
454
\n00:27:27,320 –> 00:27:28,560
\nnot.
\nWe we stay there. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:27:29,320 –> 00:27:35,720
\nWe are imprisoning or binding
\nour very own selves and that’s <\/p>\n
456
\n00:27:35,720 –> 00:27:39,680
\nwhy God is now saying I want.
\nYou to forgive because. <\/p>\n
457
\n00:27:39,680 –> 00:27:40,840
\nYou know what, brothers and
\nsisters? <\/p>\n
458
\n00:27:41,440 –> 00:27:43,720
\nYou think about this, just think
\nabout this little. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:27:43,960 –> 00:27:46,840
\nThis little fact here.
\nIf we receive forgiveness of <\/p>\n
460
\n00:27:46,840 –> 00:27:52,180
\nGod.
\nWho’s the beneficiary we are? <\/p>\n
461
\n00:27:52,860 –> 00:27:54,660
\nI am.
\nIf I receive forgiveness, I’m <\/p>\n
462
\n00:27:54,660 –> 00:27:57,420
\nthe beneficiary.
\nIf we forgive. <\/p>\n
463
\n00:27:57,420 –> 00:28:02,180
\nOthers from the heart.
\nWho’s the beneficiary? <\/p>\n
464
\n00:28:02,980 –> 00:28:05,540
\nThe others?
\nNo, they’re not. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:28:06,100 –> 00:28:11,300
\nI am.
\nSo on both counts, God is saying<\/p>\n
466
\n00:28:11,660 –> 00:28:13,500
\nyou benefit.
\nYourself. <\/p>\n
467
\n00:28:17,630 –> 00:28:20,710
\nAnd so verse 32 says.
\nThen his Lord, after that he had<\/p>\n
468
\n00:28:20,710 –> 00:28:22,350
\ncalled him, said to him, Oh
\ntheir wicked. <\/p>\n
469
\n00:28:22,350 –> 00:28:25,110
\nServant.
\nI forgave thee all that debt <\/p>\n
470
\n00:28:26,030 –> 00:28:30,950
\nbecause you asked me to.
\nSo this. <\/p>\n
471
\n00:28:30,950 –> 00:28:34,670
\nWicked servant here had
\nmisrepresented God he’d <\/p>\n
472
\n00:28:34,670 –> 00:28:38,350
\nmisrepresented.
\nWhat God was all about, He had <\/p>\n
473
\n00:28:38,350 –> 00:28:41,750
\nmisrepresented this.
\nConcept of God manifestation. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:28:41,750 –> 00:28:43,830
\nHe had misrepresented God in
\nthat. <\/p>\n
475
\n00:28:44,110 –> 00:28:46,990
\nHe had just been forgiven.
\nAnd he’d left God’s. <\/p>\n
476
\n00:28:46,990 –> 00:28:50,150
\nPresence and soon after.
\nHad been exactly in God’s <\/p>\n
477
\n00:28:50,150 –> 00:28:54,510
\nposition.
\nAnd had shown his brother what <\/p>\n
478
\n00:28:54,510 –> 00:28:57,670
\nhe thought God was.
\nHe had failed to. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:28:57,670 –> 00:29:00,350
\nExercise loving kindness and
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n
480
\n00:29:00,710 –> 00:29:02,950
\nHe had distorted God’s
\ncharacter. <\/p>\n
481
\n00:29:03,270 –> 00:29:08,110
\nTo his brother and sister, make
\nno mistake, brothers and <\/p>\n
482
\n00:29:08,110 –> 00:29:10,230
\nsisters, our understanding of
\nforgiveness. <\/p>\n
483
\n00:29:10,790 –> 00:29:14,150
\nWill have a direct impact on how
\nwe treat others. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:29:15,720 –> 00:29:19,840
\nThere is a distinct correlation.
\nBetween those two things. <\/p>\n
485
\n00:29:20,400 –> 00:29:23,280
\nHow you see God is how you will
\ntreat your brother. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:29:24,960 –> 00:29:26,400
\nAnd if we believe, believe God
\nis. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:29:26,400 –> 00:29:29,080
\nHard and.
\nAustere reaping where he <\/p>\n
488
\n00:29:29,080 –> 00:29:32,040
\ndoesn’t.
\nSo then there’s a. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:29:32,040 –> 00:29:34,600
\nVery, very high chance.
\nWe’ll reflect that in our own <\/p>\n
490
\n00:29:34,600 –> 00:29:41,240
\nlives and we’ll hold out.
\nBecause the other people need to<\/p>\n
491
\n00:29:41,240 –> 00:29:45,530
\npay.
\nSo then this has. <\/p>\n
492
\n00:29:45,530 –> 00:29:48,410
\nActually gone up a notch now.
\nThis has gone to next level. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:29:48,490 –> 00:29:52,090
\nYou see this is more.
\nThan just about being merciful <\/p>\n
494
\n00:29:52,290 –> 00:29:56,210
\nor otherwise.
\nThis is about portraying God to <\/p>\n
495
\n00:29:56,210 –> 00:29:58,690
\none another.
\nNow that’s another level <\/p>\n
496
\n00:29:58,690 –> 00:29:59,730
\naltogether.
\nWhat a. <\/p>\n
497
\n00:29:59,730 –> 00:30:04,690
\nResponsibility, that is, O thou
\nwicked servant, I forgave thee <\/p>\n
498
\n00:30:04,690 –> 00:30:09,570
\nall the debt shouldest.
\nNot thou also have had <\/p>\n
499
\n00:30:09,570 –> 00:30:11,610
\ncompassion on thy fellow
\nservant. <\/p>\n
500
\n00:30:12,100 –> 00:30:18,740
\nEven as I had pity on thee, can
\nyou hear that responsibility? <\/p>\n
501
\n00:30:19,420 –> 00:30:22,620
\nWe are portraying God.
\nTo one another. <\/p>\n
502
\n00:30:26,620 –> 00:30:29,860
\nThat’s what John says.
\nJohn says we all agree. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:30:29,860 –> 00:30:33,260
\nThat nobody has seen God at any
\ntime, Is that not true? <\/p>\n
504
\n00:30:33,260 –> 00:30:37,700
\nSays.
\nJohn, but if the love of God. <\/p>\n
505
\n00:30:37,980 –> 00:30:40,540
\nDwells in your brother, then
\nyou’re looking at God. <\/p>\n
506
\n00:30:42,810 –> 00:30:46,650
\nWhat a responsibility that is
\nnow. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:30:46,650 –> 00:30:49,890
\nThis is why Matthew. 18 verse 18
\nsays this verily I’ll say. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:30:49,890 –> 00:30:54,490
\nUnto you whatsoever ye shall.
\nBind on Earth. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:30:54,650 –> 00:31:00,530
\nShall be bound in heaven, and
\nwhatsoever ye shall. <\/p>\n
510
\n00:31:00,810 –> 00:31:04,850
\nLoose on earth will be loosed in
\nheaven. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:31:06,130 –> 00:31:09,520
\nSo there is a counter action.
\nThere is a. <\/p>\n
512
\n00:31:09,520 –> 00:31:11,400
\nCorrelation between those two
\nthings. <\/p>\n
513
\n00:31:11,800 –> 00:31:14,760
\nAgain, I was saying to you that
\nif two of you shall agree. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:31:14,760 –> 00:31:19,760
\nOn earth as touching anything
\nthat they should ask, it shall <\/p>\n
515
\n00:31:19,760 –> 00:31:21,840
\nbe done for them of my Father.
\nWhich is in. <\/p>\n
516
\n00:31:22,000 –> 00:31:29,320
\nHeaven.
\nSo there is. <\/p>\n
517
\n00:31:30,120 –> 00:31:33,440
\nA connection between how we.
\nTreat each other on Earth. <\/p>\n
518
\n00:31:34,040 –> 00:31:37,180
\nAnd God’s response in heaven.
\nAnd that’s why. <\/p>\n
519
\n00:31:37,340 –> 00:31:39,420
\nThe very next parable.
\nIn Matthew 18. <\/p>\n
520
\n00:31:39,620 –> 00:31:43,540
\nIs the parable of the.
\nUnforgiving Servant, verse 27 he<\/p>\n
521
\n00:31:43,540 –> 00:31:48,380
\nis loosed and verse 30 he’s
\nbound in prison. <\/p>\n
522
\n00:31:50,340 –> 00:31:52,300
\nThere’s.
\nLosing and there’s bonding. <\/p>\n
523
\n00:31:52,780 –> 00:31:55,460
\nAgain, our understanding of
\nforgiveness will have a direct <\/p>\n
524
\n00:31:56,260 –> 00:31:59,180
\nimpact on how we live.
\nYou know in in the Lord’s <\/p>\n
525
\n00:31:59,180 –> 00:32:01,940
\nPrayer, think about the Lord’s.
\nPrayer for a moment, you know. <\/p>\n
526
\n00:32:02,380 –> 00:32:05,580
\nForgive us our debts as we
\nforgive our debtors. <\/p>\n
527
\n00:32:06,510 –> 00:32:08,390
\nAnd we say, you know, yeah,
\nthat’s. <\/p>\n
528
\n00:32:08,750 –> 00:32:10,350
\nI can relate to that.
\nI think that’s fair. <\/p>\n
529
\n00:32:10,710 –> 00:32:16,310
\nIf God, if God expects us to
\nforgive others, well, that’s <\/p>\n
530
\n00:32:16,310 –> 00:32:17,470
\nfair.
\nEnough, because he’s forgiving <\/p>\n
531
\n00:32:17,470 –> 00:32:19,150
\nus, you know, brothers and
\nsisters, what we’re saying to <\/p>\n
532
\n00:32:19,150 –> 00:32:21,990
\nGod, actually.
\nWe’re saying to God this forgive<\/p>\n
533
\n00:32:21,990 –> 00:32:24,070
\nus 10 million.
\nDollars. <\/p>\n
534
\n00:32:26,590 –> 00:32:32,750
\nAs we forgive $20.
\nThat is that fair? <\/p>\n
535
\n00:32:36,700 –> 00:32:41,300
\nCan you see how it’s?
\nAll out of balance in our favor <\/p>\n
536
\n00:32:44,380 –> 00:32:46,140
\nand I think this is the one of
\nthe the. <\/p>\n
537
\n00:32:46,140 –> 00:32:48,900
\nCore ideas of this parable?
\nThe main. <\/p>\n
538
\n00:32:48,900 –> 00:32:52,580
\nReason we need to be given our
\nlives is so that we appreciate. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:32:52,980 –> 00:32:55,380
\nIn a such a small.
\nWay the. <\/p>\n
540
\n00:32:55,380 –> 00:33:01,220
\nEnormity of what God, the King
\nof heaven, has already done for <\/p>\n
541
\n00:33:01,220 –> 00:33:03,990
\nus.
\nThat we might experience that <\/p>\n
542
\n00:33:03,990 –> 00:33:07,510
\nposition that God is in.
\nIt’s a very very see it your <\/p>\n
543
\n00:33:07,510 –> 00:33:09,830
\nyour ability you you’re having
\nthe control to forgive. <\/p>\n
544
\n00:33:10,030 –> 00:33:15,790
\nSee it as a very big privilege.
\nIt’s an honor to forgive because<\/p>\n
545
\n00:33:15,790 –> 00:33:17,150
\nI’m.
\nMimicking the God of heaven. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:33:17,630 –> 00:33:21,350
\nWhat a privilege that.
\nIs this is not. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:33:21,590 –> 00:33:24,630
\nWe shouldn’t do this grudgingly.
\nIt should be an absolute <\/p>\n
548
\n00:33:24,630 –> 00:33:31,810
\npleasure for us to forgive.
\nYou come to 2nd Corinthians 5 <\/p>\n
549
\n00:33:31,810 –> 00:33:34,970
\nand verse 17.
\nLet’s let Paul. <\/p>\n
550
\n00:33:34,970 –> 00:33:39,970
\nPull this all together this.
\nMarvelous way he he writes in <\/p>\n
551
\n00:33:39,970 –> 00:33:42,570
\n2nd Corinthians 5 and verse
\nverse 17. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:33:44,690 –> 00:33:52,230
\nHe brings together God’s.
\nReconciliation And now, if you <\/p>\n
553
\n00:33:52,230 –> 00:33:53,830
\nlike, the.
\nThe mirror image in which we <\/p>\n
554
\n00:33:53,830 –> 00:33:55,670
\nshould.
\nTreat each other, therefore <\/p>\n
555
\n00:33:56,030 –> 00:33:59,590
\nverse 17 of chapter 5.
\nTherefore, if anyone is in <\/p>\n
556
\n00:33:59,590 –> 00:34:06,140
\nChrist, he is a new creation.
\nReading this from ESV, he’s a <\/p>\n
557
\n00:34:06,140 –> 00:34:08,179
\nnew creation.
\nSo this is a. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:34:08,179 –> 00:34:11,620
\nWork of God with us.
\nThe old has passed away. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:34:11,900 –> 00:34:15,620
\nBehold, the new has come.
\nAll this is from God. <\/p>\n
560
\n00:34:15,900 –> 00:34:19,780
\nWho through?
\nChrist reconciled us to himself.<\/p>\n
561
\n00:34:21,100 –> 00:34:23,659
\nAnd gave.
\nUS The Ministry of <\/p>\n
562
\n00:34:23,659 –> 00:34:25,300
\nReconciliation.
\nOh, that’s interesting. <\/p>\n
563
\n00:34:25,300 –> 00:34:27,659
\nSo now.
\nIt’s our turn he’s given. <\/p>\n
564
\n00:34:27,659 –> 00:34:31,580
\nUS The doctrine of
\nreconciliation. <\/p>\n
565
\n00:34:32,270 –> 00:34:36,630
\nThat is verse 19 in Christ.
\nGod was reconciling the world to<\/p>\n
566
\n00:34:36,630 –> 00:34:40,230
\nhimself.
\nNot counting their trespasses <\/p>\n
567
\n00:34:40,230 –> 00:34:45,670
\nagainst them and entrusting us.
\nWith the message. <\/p>\n
568
\n00:34:46,150 –> 00:34:52,989
\nOf reconciliation.
\nTherefore, we are ambassadors <\/p>\n
569
\n00:34:54,190 –> 00:34:56,070
\nfor Christ.
\nWhat does an ambassador do? <\/p>\n
570
\n00:34:56,949 –> 00:35:00,840
\nHe’s a representative.
\nAnd he acts the same as and <\/p>\n
571
\n00:35:00,840 –> 00:35:03,800
\nspeaks the same language as from
\nthis country of origin. <\/p>\n
572
\n00:35:06,320 –> 00:35:10,520
\nWe’re ambassadors for Christ, so
\nwe are representatives. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:35:10,720 –> 00:35:13,360
\nGod is making His appeal through
\nus. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:35:14,040 –> 00:35:17,000
\nWe implore you on behalf of
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:35:17,280 –> 00:35:20,480
\nBe reconciled to God and don’t
\nsee reconciliation. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:35:20,840 –> 00:35:27,200
\nLike that?
\nSee it like that one. <\/p>\n
577
\n00:35:28,390 –> 00:35:35,590
\nThat they may be one in us was
\nChrist’s prayer and Matthew in <\/p>\n
578
\n00:35:35,590 –> 00:35:42,070
\nJohn 17.
\nSo I want you to think about <\/p>\n
579
\n00:35:42,070 –> 00:35:44,310
\nnow, brothers.
\nAnd sisters, just quickly, this <\/p>\n
580
\n00:35:44,990 –> 00:35:46,590
\noccasion where Christ washed
\nhis. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:35:46,590 –> 00:35:49,950
\nDisciples feet, and the
\nrecommendations that He left <\/p>\n
582
\n00:35:49,950 –> 00:35:53,030
\nwith his disciples on that
\noccasion in relation to <\/p>\n
583
\n00:35:53,030 –> 00:35:54,870
\nforgiving one another.
\nHe said. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:35:54,870 –> 00:35:57,510
\nWhen we come to John, we don’t
\nfind. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:35:58,170 –> 00:36:00,650
\nAny record.
\nOf the details of the Last <\/p>\n
586
\n00:36:00,650 –> 00:36:05,050
\nSupper, as we do in Matthew.
\nMark and Luke instead, do you? <\/p>\n
587
\n00:36:05,170 –> 00:36:06,650
\nKnow what we find, you know?
\nWhat John does. <\/p>\n
588
\n00:36:07,290 –> 00:36:09,970
\nHe deals with the absolute.
\nEssence. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:36:10,410 –> 00:36:14,010
\nOf what the emblems are all
\nabout, He puts the atonement in <\/p>\n
590
\n00:36:14,010 –> 00:36:15,570
\naction.
\nShall we have a look at that? <\/p>\n
591
\n00:36:15,570 –> 00:36:19,330
\nThis is John 13 and verse three.
\nWe’ll come in there. <\/p>\n
592
\n00:36:22,610 –> 00:36:25,490
\nJohn 13 and verse 3.
\nThis is the atonement in action.<\/p>\n
593
\n00:36:25,490 –> 00:36:27,550
\nThis is.
\nForgiveness. <\/p>\n
594
\n00:36:27,630 –> 00:36:31,750
\nThis is how it works.
\nThis is the ministration of the <\/p>\n
595
\n00:36:31,750 –> 00:36:35,510
\nSon of God to.
\nThose who he loved verse. 3 John<\/p>\n
596
\n00:36:35,510 –> 00:36:38,590
\n13 Jesus knowing that the Father
\nhad given. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:36:38,670 –> 00:36:41,950
\nAll things into his hands.
\nAnd that he. <\/p>\n
598
\n00:36:41,950 –> 00:36:46,910
\nWas come from God.
\nAnd went to God, and I want you <\/p>\n
599
\n00:36:46,910 –> 00:36:49,030
\nto.
\nNotice the the intricate detail.<\/p>\n
600
\n00:36:49,150 –> 00:36:51,310
\nIn the text here.
\nIt’s very interesting. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:36:51,310 –> 00:36:54,310
\nIt’s sort of like a.
\nMagnifying glass comes down onto<\/p>\n
602
\n00:36:54,310 –> 00:36:56,270
\nthe text.
\nNow let’s look at this. <\/p>\n
603
\n00:36:56,550 –> 00:37:02,630
\nHe rises from supper, lays
\naside. <\/p>\n
604
\n00:37:03,390 –> 00:37:11,710
\nHis garments takes a.
\nTowel and girds himself. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:37:13,270 –> 00:37:16,670
\nNow the disciple is all watching
\nthis, and they’re probably <\/p>\n
606
\n00:37:16,670 –> 00:37:20,990
\nlooking at each other going,
\nwhat is he doing now? <\/p>\n
607
\n00:37:22,910 –> 00:37:24,550
\nAnd after he’d done that, verse
\n5. <\/p>\n
608
\n00:37:25,740 –> 00:37:30,460
\nHe poured water.
\nOut into a basin and he began to<\/p>\n
609
\n00:37:30,460 –> 00:37:37,460
\nwatch the disciples feet one by
\none, and they’re all probably <\/p>\n
610
\n00:37:37,820 –> 00:37:40,900
\nsitting back, lounging on a on a
\ncouch in a in a reclined <\/p>\n
611
\n00:37:40,900 –> 00:37:46,220
\nposition, and he began to wipe.
\nThem with the same. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:37:46,580 –> 00:37:51,540
\nTowel.
\nWherewith he was girded, he’s. <\/p>\n
613
\n00:37:51,540 –> 00:37:57,790
\nTaking upon himself their dirt.
\nTheir iniquities their. <\/p>\n
614
\n00:37:57,790 –> 00:37:59,750
\nSins.
\nHe’s bearing them himself. <\/p>\n
615
\n00:38:02,830 –> 00:38:07,470
\nHe wanted them all to know this
\nand all of us today, brothers <\/p>\n
616
\n00:38:07,470 –> 00:38:09,750
\nand sisters, to make no mistake
\nabout what he was doing. <\/p>\n
617
\n00:38:10,030 –> 00:38:13,590
\nHe was bringing together 2.
\nConcepts and here’s the <\/p>\n
618
\n00:38:13,590 –> 00:38:17,710
\nconcepts.
\nWashing through the act of <\/p>\n
619
\n00:38:17,830 –> 00:38:23,390
\nservice, those two things.
\nWashing through the act of <\/p>\n
620
\n00:38:23,390 –> 00:38:28,390
\nservice.
\nThis is him laying his. <\/p>\n
621
\n00:38:28,390 –> 00:38:31,190
\nLife down for his disciples and
\nus. <\/p>\n
622
\n00:38:31,750 –> 00:38:35,950
\nHe’s displaying to them what he
\nwas about to undergo in the <\/p>\n
623
\n00:38:35,950 –> 00:38:39,150
\nprocess of the crucifixion, and
\nthat was that he was going to. <\/p>\n
624
\n00:38:39,150 –> 00:38:45,990
\nWash their filthy, dirty walk at
\npersonal cost to himself. <\/p>\n
625
\n00:38:46,990 –> 00:38:51,150
\nThese own tower he was taking.
\nOn the soiled things that were <\/p>\n
626
\n00:38:51,150 –> 00:38:53,390
\ncoming off their feet.
\nAnd we all know that. <\/p>\n
627
\n00:38:53,390 –> 00:38:55,430
\nThe feet they are not.
\nThe most attractive? <\/p>\n
628
\n00:38:55,670 –> 00:39:04,510
\nPart of our body, but he says
\nwith desire, with. <\/p>\n
629
\n00:39:04,510 –> 00:39:07,310
\nDesire I have desired.
\nTo eat this Passover with you. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:39:08,710 –> 00:39:11,590
\nI’ve been looking forward to
\nthis occasion for such a long <\/p>\n
631
\n00:39:11,590 –> 00:39:13,990
\ntime.
\nI’ve been really looking forward<\/p>\n
632
\n00:39:13,990 –> 00:39:15,910
\nto washing your feet.
\nIs that how we feel? <\/p>\n
633
\n00:39:17,550 –> 00:39:20,630
\nI want to do this for you.
\nI want to forgive you. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:39:23,020 –> 00:39:25,780
\nBut I can only do this if you
\nlet. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:39:25,780 –> 00:39:29,940
\nMe I need.
\nYou to work with me on this. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:39:29,940 –> 00:39:32,980
\nI need you to give me your feet.
\nGive. <\/p>\n
637
\n00:39:32,980 –> 00:39:35,860
\nMe that that soil.
\nWe let’s work together. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:39:36,020 –> 00:39:39,620
\nOn this let’s say what happens.
\nVerse six Then cometh here to <\/p>\n
639
\n00:39:39,620 –> 00:39:44,580
\nSimon Peter, and Peter saith
\nunto him, Lord, no way, he says,<\/p>\n
640
\n00:39:44,580 –> 00:39:48,740
\nAre you going to wash my feet?
\nJesus answered and said to him. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:39:49,590 –> 00:39:54,910
\nWhat I do now, you probably
\ndon’t understand this, You know <\/p>\n
642
\n00:39:54,910 –> 00:39:56,950
\nnot, but.
\nYou’re going to actually. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:39:57,150 –> 00:39:59,790
\nThink back to this occasion and
\nyou’re going to understand what <\/p>\n
644
\n00:39:59,790 –> 00:40:01,910
\nI’m actually doing.
\nLet. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:40:01,910 –> 00:40:04,510
\nMe tell you what he didn’t.
\nSay when he came to Peter, he <\/p>\n
646
\n00:40:04,510 –> 00:40:09,190
\ndidn’t say.
\nOh for goodness sake Peter, look<\/p>\n
647
\n00:40:09,190 –> 00:40:11,310
\nall.
\nYour all the other disciples <\/p>\n
648
\n00:40:11,310 –> 00:40:14,110
\nhere, all your friends here,
\nthey’ve happily. <\/p>\n
649
\n00:40:14,110 –> 00:40:17,350
\nLet me wash their feet.
\nAnd here we go again. <\/p>\n
650
\n00:40:17,350 –> 00:40:20,830
\nWhy is it always you he?
\nDidn’t say that at all. <\/p>\n
651
\n00:40:22,950 –> 00:40:24,310
\nHe was very, very.
\nGentle. <\/p>\n
652
\n00:40:26,110 –> 00:40:31,830
\nAnd he’s very understanding and
\nhe says, I know you’re not going<\/p>\n
653
\n00:40:31,830 –> 00:40:36,630
\nto understand this, Peter.
\nBut you will in the future <\/p>\n
654
\n00:40:36,910 –> 00:40:37,750
\nyou’ll.
\nGet it? <\/p>\n
655
\n00:40:39,110 –> 00:40:42,630
\nAnd Peter said to him verse 18,
\nNo, not going to happen. <\/p>\n
656
\n00:40:43,470 –> 00:40:45,790
\nYou will never.
\nWash my feet. <\/p>\n
657
\n00:40:47,710 –> 00:40:50,950
\nNow Jesus, I think he.
\nGets a little bit firm and says <\/p>\n
658
\n00:40:50,950 –> 00:40:52,470
\nnow Peter.
\nIf I. <\/p>\n
659
\n00:40:52,470 –> 00:40:56,030
\nWash thee not.
\nYou have no part in me meaning. <\/p>\n
660
\n00:40:56,190 –> 00:40:59,470
\nYou have no share.
\nYou cannot share the Kingdom of <\/p>\n
661
\n00:40:59,470 –> 00:41:04,070
\nGod with me if I don’t wash you.
\nEars, Face says. <\/p>\n
662
\n00:41:04,350 –> 00:41:06,710
\nYou have.
\nNo share with me at. <\/p>\n
663
\n00:41:06,710 –> 00:41:08,910
\nAll.
\nNo portion, no part. <\/p>\n
664
\n00:41:08,950 –> 00:41:12,270
\nOf.
\nEternity, you imagine the scene,<\/p>\n
665
\n00:41:12,270 –> 00:41:15,210
\nJust try and picture the scene.
\nHe’s the king of the. <\/p>\n
666
\n00:41:15,210 –> 00:41:19,290
\nWorld sitting at.
\nPeter’s feet and he’s sitting. <\/p>\n
667
\n00:41:19,370 –> 00:41:22,210
\nOn the ground, he’s got a bowl
\nin front of him. <\/p>\n
668
\n00:41:22,890 –> 00:41:25,290
\nHe’s got the town in his hand.
\nEverybody’s watching this <\/p>\n
669
\n00:41:25,290 –> 00:41:29,370
\ndiscussion.
\nThere’s Peter sitting on his <\/p>\n
670
\n00:41:29,370 –> 00:41:33,050
\nlittle couch with his feet drawn
\nup under him, saying, you’re not<\/p>\n
671
\n00:41:33,050 –> 00:41:36,010
\ngoing to do this.
\nI won’t allow you to do this. <\/p>\n
672
\n00:41:36,330 –> 00:41:38,290
\nHe’s probably being honorable.
\nIn his own mind. <\/p>\n
673
\n00:41:41,290 –> 00:41:43,010
\nAnd there’s Christ.
\nSitting there, his hands are. <\/p>\n
674
\n00:41:43,480 –> 00:41:45,520
\nReady to go dripping with water
\nfrom the. <\/p>\n
675
\n00:41:45,640 –> 00:41:48,560
\nThe last pair of feet.
\nAnd he’s having this. <\/p>\n
676
\n00:41:48,560 –> 00:41:49,880
\nConversation.
\nWe’re saying Peter. <\/p>\n
677
\n00:41:50,520 –> 00:41:51,920
\nYou’ve got.
\nTo let this happen. <\/p>\n
678
\n00:41:55,560 –> 00:41:58,320
\nIt is saying to Peter this, this
\nis all figurative language. <\/p>\n
679
\n00:41:58,760 –> 00:41:59,960
\nHe’s saying if I.
\nDon’t wash your. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:41:59,960 –> 00:42:03,000
\nFeet, you have no forgiveness of
\nsins, That’s actually. <\/p>\n
681
\n00:42:03,000 –> 00:42:06,520
\nThe essence of what’s being said
\nhere there is no forgiveness of <\/p>\n
682
\n00:42:06,520 –> 00:42:07,640
\nsins.
\nIf I. <\/p>\n
683
\n00:42:07,880 –> 00:42:10,680
\nCannot wash your feet.
\nDo you know every Sunday? <\/p>\n
684
\n00:42:12,110 –> 00:42:16,590
\nWhen Christ’s disciples.
\nCome together in 2022, we keep <\/p>\n
685
\n00:42:16,590 –> 00:42:19,630
\nthe.
\nFeast and we do exactly this. <\/p>\n
686
\n00:42:20,230 –> 00:42:22,990
\nWe understand.
\nWhat he is doing for. <\/p>\n
687
\n00:42:22,990 –> 00:42:26,110
\nYou and I.
\nAnd there’s something else that <\/p>\n
688
\n00:42:26,110 –> 00:42:29,710
\nhe he need that we need to know.
\nIt’s not a grudging act. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:42:30,430 –> 00:42:33,950
\nHe’s pleading with Peter.
\nCome on, Peter. <\/p>\n
690
\n00:42:34,390 –> 00:42:37,030
\nI want to do this for you.
\nThis is not reluctance on <\/p>\n
691
\n00:42:37,030 –> 00:42:39,400
\nChrist’s part.
\nHe really does want to do this <\/p>\n
692
\n00:42:39,400 –> 00:42:41,680
\nwith desire.
\nI’ve desired to eat this. <\/p>\n
693
\n00:42:41,680 –> 00:42:43,320
\nPassover.
\nWith you before I suffer. <\/p>\n
694
\n00:42:43,960 –> 00:42:47,320
\nSo what happens then?
\nPeter automatically sees a bit <\/p>\n
695
\n00:42:47,320 –> 00:42:51,400
\nof a picture and says, Oh well,
\nin that case he says verse, <\/p>\n
696
\n00:42:51,400 –> 00:42:54,800
\nverse 9 Lord, not my feet only,
\nbut also my hands and my head. <\/p>\n
697
\n00:42:56,200 –> 00:43:02,240
\nJesus said to him he that is
\nwashed needs not saved to wash <\/p>\n
698
\n00:43:02,240 –> 00:43:05,840
\nhis feet, but is cleaned every
\nwit and you are cleaned but not <\/p>\n
699
\n00:43:05,840 –> 00:43:06,680
\nall.
\nAnd what? <\/p>\n
700
\n00:43:07,700 –> 00:43:09,860
\nOn earth is.
\nJohn saying here saying this my <\/p>\n
701
\n00:43:09,860 –> 00:43:15,660
\nmouth says anyone who has
\nrecently bathed does not need to<\/p>\n
702
\n00:43:15,660 –> 00:43:19,220
\nwash more than.
\nHis feet but is clean. <\/p>\n
703
\n00:43:19,300 –> 00:43:23,020
\nAll over.
\nAnd you, my disciples, are all <\/p>\n
704
\n00:43:23,020 –> 00:43:26,740
\nclean, and yet that is not.
\nTrue of all of you. <\/p>\n
705
\n00:43:29,540 –> 00:43:32,300
\nSo Peter has just said wash all
\nof me. <\/p>\n
706
\n00:43:33,380 –> 00:43:37,100
\nAnd Christ says to Peter, Peter,
\nI don’t need to do that. <\/p>\n
707
\n00:43:37,420 –> 00:43:42,620
\nYou’ve actually been baptized.
\nYou’re totally washed, I. <\/p>\n
708
\n00:43:42,900 –> 00:43:44,180
\nNeed to.
\nI need to. <\/p>\n
709
\n00:43:44,180 –> 00:43:48,100
\nWash your feet periodically.
\nIn the process of forgiveness, <\/p>\n
710
\n00:43:48,460 –> 00:43:53,620
\nyou don’t need to keep being
\nrebaptized, and you’re all clean<\/p>\n
711
\n00:43:53,620 –> 00:43:58,260
\nexcept one of you, for he knew
\nverse 11 who should betray him. <\/p>\n
712
\n00:43:58,740 –> 00:44:05,460
\nThat’s why, he said.
\nYou are not all clean and by the<\/p>\n
713
\n00:44:05,460 –> 00:44:10,500
\nway.
\nWhen Jesus Christ came to a pair<\/p>\n
714
\n00:44:10,500 –> 00:44:13,580
\nof feet and attached to those
\nfeet. <\/p>\n
715
\n00:44:14,940 –> 00:44:17,180
\nWith two legs.
\nAnd the body in the face of <\/p>\n
716
\n00:44:17,580 –> 00:44:21,620
\nJudas.
\nHe didn’t take his bowl and look<\/p>\n
717
\n00:44:21,620 –> 00:44:28,700
\nup and go next.
\nHe washed his feet, like all. <\/p>\n
718
\n00:44:28,700 –> 00:44:33,620
\nThe others and he knew.
\nExactly what Judas was about to <\/p>\n
719
\n00:44:33,620 –> 00:44:36,140
\ndo.
\nHow do we go with that? <\/p>\n
720
\n00:44:36,820 –> 00:44:39,180
\nHow do you go forgiving?
\nSomeone in your heart when you <\/p>\n
721
\n00:44:39,180 –> 00:44:42,980
\nknow probably actually, they’re
\nnot really interested in <\/p>\n
722
\n00:44:42,980 –> 00:44:45,620
\nforgiveness at all and they’re
\nabout to go ahead and. <\/p>\n
723
\n00:44:45,620 –> 00:44:50,260
\nHarm you majorly.
\nWhat a challenge that is for a <\/p>\n
724
\n00:44:50,260 –> 00:44:52,260
\nhuman being with the carnal
\nmind. <\/p>\n
725
\n00:44:53,460 –> 00:44:54,980
\nYou see, this is all about
\nforgiveness. <\/p>\n
726
\n00:44:55,340 –> 00:44:59,820
\nWashing away of sin true,
\ngenuine service in this context,<\/p>\n
727
\n00:44:59,820 –> 00:45:02,900
\nbrothers and sisters, is all
\nabout forgiveness. <\/p>\n
728
\n00:45:04,300 –> 00:45:08,180
\nThat let’s stay with Weymouth.
\nSo verse verse 12 says this, so,<\/p>\n
729
\n00:45:08,220 –> 00:45:09,620
\nso.
\nAfter he’d washed their feet. <\/p>\n
730
\n00:45:09,980 –> 00:45:12,580
\nPut on his garments again and
\nreturned to the table, he said <\/p>\n
731
\n00:45:12,580 –> 00:45:13,940
\nto them now.
\nHe said. <\/p>\n
732
\n00:45:13,940 –> 00:45:16,620
\nDo you?
\nUnderstand what I have done. <\/p>\n
733
\n00:45:16,620 –> 00:45:18,540
\nTo you?
\nDo you get? <\/p>\n
734
\n00:45:18,540 –> 00:45:20,780
\nThis.
\nYou call me. <\/p>\n
735
\n00:45:20,780 –> 00:45:24,700
\nRabbi and master and rightly.
\nSo for such as I. <\/p>\n
736
\n00:45:24,700 –> 00:45:31,700
\nAm so I am your master now, he
\nsays. <\/p>\n
737
\n00:45:32,660 –> 00:45:36,320
\nIf.
\nI then your master, if I can do <\/p>\n
738
\n00:45:36,320 –> 00:45:39,960
\nthat as your master and I’ve.
\nWashed your feet. <\/p>\n
739
\n00:45:40,840 –> 00:45:47,120
\nIt’s also your duty to forgive.
\nOne another wash others feet. <\/p>\n
740
\n00:45:47,760 –> 00:45:51,560
\nFor I have set you an example in
\norder that you may do what I <\/p>\n
741
\n00:45:51,560 –> 00:45:54,000
\nhave.
\nDone to you to each. <\/p>\n
742
\n00:45:54,000 –> 00:46:00,600
\nOther so the ultimate act of
\nservice with one another. <\/p>\n
743
\n00:46:01,040 –> 00:46:04,110
\nBrothers and sisters is.
\nForgiveness. <\/p>\n
744
\n00:46:04,510 –> 00:46:07,630
\nThat’s the ultimate act of
\nservice and that. <\/p>\n
745
\n00:46:07,750 –> 00:46:11,150
\nMakes you a living.
\nSacrifice. <\/p>\n
746
\n00:46:13,830 –> 00:46:16,470
\nA living sacrifice.
\nBecause you are. <\/p>\n
747
\n00:46:16,470 –> 00:46:20,390
\nPutting to death the
\ninherentness the kind of mind <\/p>\n
748
\n00:46:20,390 –> 00:46:25,870
\nwhich says.
\nI will not forget or forgive you<\/p>\n
749
\n00:46:25,870 –> 00:46:28,550
\nare.
\nSuppressing that and you’re. <\/p>\n
750
\n00:46:28,550 –> 00:46:31,070
\nOffering a sacrifice to.
\nThe God of heaven and earth. <\/p>\n
751
\n00:46:31,640 –> 00:46:34,520
\nAnd he is very pleased with that
\nact. <\/p>\n
752
\n00:46:34,960 –> 00:46:38,400
\nIt’s total.
\nIt’s free and the it’s not. <\/p>\n
753
\n00:46:38,400 –> 00:46:40,880
\nEarned your forgiveness.
\nIs not earned or won. <\/p>\n
754
\n00:46:40,920 –> 00:46:43,200
\nIt’s a gift.
\nAnd the same when you. <\/p>\n
755
\n00:46:43,200 –> 00:46:45,520
\nGive that.
\nTo other brothers and sisters <\/p>\n
756
\n00:46:45,520 –> 00:46:47,960
\nwhen Christ come to a.
\nAs we said before, this <\/p>\n
757
\n00:46:47,960 –> 00:46:50,920
\nparticular pair of feet with
\nJudas attached to it. <\/p>\n
758
\n00:46:51,120 –> 00:46:52,920
\nThere was no difference.
\nIt was exactly. <\/p>\n
759
\n00:46:52,920 –> 00:46:56,720
\nThe same our gift our.
\nFree gift to each other. <\/p>\n
760
\n00:46:56,960 –> 00:47:00,380
\nIs forgiveness.
\nBetween ourselves, it’s our <\/p>\n
761
\n00:47:00,420 –> 00:47:04,580
\nservice to one another, and it’s
\na service. <\/p>\n
762
\n00:47:04,740 –> 00:47:09,420
\nWhich can only be brought.
\nOr bought out of appreciation. <\/p>\n
763
\n00:47:09,660 –> 00:47:12,820
\nIt’s a service that involves.
\nA death. <\/p>\n
764
\n00:47:14,020 –> 00:47:16,420
\nAnd so that’s why.
\nPaul says we die daily. <\/p>\n
765
\n00:47:17,340 –> 00:47:19,500
\nWe are.
\nSuppressing the carnal mind. <\/p>\n
766
\n00:47:19,500 –> 00:47:22,900
\nIt’s a death of our natural
\ninclination to hold a grudge. <\/p>\n
767
\n00:47:24,020 –> 00:47:28,300
\nI have set you an example in
\norder that you may do. <\/p>\n
768
\n00:47:28,570 –> 00:47:31,170
\nWhat I.
\nHave done to you What a <\/p>\n
769
\n00:47:31,170 –> 00:47:33,810
\nwonderful man.
\nWhat a credible character he <\/p>\n
770
\n00:47:33,810 –> 00:47:37,130
\nwas.
\nAnd Paul says this in Ephesians <\/p>\n
771
\n00:47:37,130 –> 00:47:39,370
\n4 as we.
\nWrap our thoughts up for this <\/p>\n
772
\n00:47:39,370 –> 00:47:46,130
\nmorning, he says.
\nLet all bitterness and wrath and<\/p>\n
773
\n00:47:46,130 –> 00:47:51,770
\nanger and clamor.
\nAnd evil speaking be put away <\/p>\n
774
\n00:47:51,770 –> 00:47:57,090
\nfrom you with.
\nAll malice and be kind one to <\/p>\n
775
\n00:47:57,090 –> 00:48:01,300
\nanother.
\nTenderhearted, forgiving one <\/p>\n
776
\n00:48:01,300 –> 00:48:06,620
\nanother, even as God for
\nChrist’s sake hath forgiven you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
