00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:17.460
 It was the summer of 1986.

00:00:19.240 --> 00:00:23.740
 I had just finished my junior year in high school.

00:00:23.739 --> 00:00:34.820
 Having grown up in a home that went to church, but in which Christian worship was not a daily part of our lives.

00:00:35.659 --> 00:00:43.719
 Having gone through a confirmation process where I filled out a statement of faith without knowing any of what I really wrote.

00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:54.640
 And submitted it so that I could be brought in as a member of the church that our family went to.

00:00:55.479 --> 00:01:03.719
 Having wandered out on a youth group retreat one night and looking up at the stars and wondered if maybe there was a God.

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.960
 And wondering if maybe there was something to this whole thing.

00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:22.479
 But never getting an answer until during my sophomore and junior year I met Bill and Becky and other friends who knew Jesus.

00:01:24.099 --> 00:01:28.780
 And I didn't like their Jesus very much, but I liked them.

00:01:29.739 --> 00:01:34.579
 And I saw that they had something that was to me irresistibly attractive.

00:01:34.579 --> 00:01:38.319
 And so I kept hanging out with them and I kept asking questions.

00:01:39.620 --> 00:01:41.340
 And it brought me to this summer.

00:01:42.219 --> 00:01:50.000
 The summer where my friend went off across the sea and left me with Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis.

00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.400
 And in that time as I read through this book.

00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.560
 I saw who Jesus was for the first time.

00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:07.760
 And C.S. Lewis walked through the argument that he puts forth in that book.

00:02:09.659 --> 00:02:12.860
 I found myself being compelled by it.

00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.080
 And I got to the end.

00:02:15.819 --> 00:02:19.039
 And I remember thinking, if this is true,

00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.360
 what am I going to do with it?

00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:29.080
 I could no longer think, I wonder if there might be something to this.

00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:30.940
 Now I knew something.

00:02:32.380 --> 00:02:34.940
 Now I knew something about who Jesus was.

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:37.860
 I had been confronted with him.

00:02:39.340 --> 00:02:41.500
 And I knew that I needed to respond.

00:02:41.500 --> 00:02:48.879
 Friends, this morning as we continue in our series in the book of Luke,

00:02:49.180 --> 00:02:55.060
 we will find a similar encounter with the Apostle Peter and some of his friends.

00:02:55.699 --> 00:03:01.920
 As they encountered Jesus and saw him, perhaps for the first time, with real eyes.

00:03:03.020 --> 00:03:04.460
 So we're looking at the Gospel of Luke.

00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.860
 If you want to turn there, I think it's page 860 in your pew Bible.

00:03:07.860 --> 00:03:09.960
 Is that right?

00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:10.840
 Yes?

00:03:11.160 --> 00:03:11.540
 Good.

00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.320
 As we turn there, let me just remind us of where we are.

00:03:16.440 --> 00:03:20.780
 We're doing a series this winter on who is this Jesus.

00:03:22.040 --> 00:03:24.740
 Looking at Luke chapter 4 through chapter 8.

00:03:25.160 --> 00:03:31.020
 If you remember, we started a couple weeks ago hearing about Jesus as he walked into the synagogue

00:03:31.020 --> 00:03:33.640
 and he sat down and he read the words from Isaiah.

00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:40.259
 Isaiah, the Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.

00:03:40.539 --> 00:03:45.599
 He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind,

00:03:45.679 --> 00:03:50.659
 to set at liberty those who are oppressed, and to proclaim the day of the Lord's favor.

00:03:51.099 --> 00:03:53.619
 And then having read this, he sat down and he said,

00:03:54.239 --> 00:03:55.479
 Today it is fulfilled.

00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:57.679
 What he was basically saying is,

00:03:58.039 --> 00:03:59.579
 Now that I am here.

00:04:03.239 --> 00:04:06.539
 And then as we've seen, after that he went out and he did ministry.

00:04:06.819 --> 00:04:08.500
 And he did it with a kind of authority.

00:04:08.699 --> 00:04:10.899
 Authority over spiritual forces of darkness.

00:04:11.419 --> 00:04:15.479
 Authority over physical sickness that would cause to destroy.

00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:16.079
 Destroy.

00:04:18.099 --> 00:04:21.579
 And in all of these things it arouses in our hearts the question,

00:04:21.699 --> 00:04:22.620
 Who is this one?

00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.079
 And that brings us to our text this morning.

00:04:28.779 --> 00:04:30.360
 Luke chapter 5.

00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:33.159
 We're going to look at verses 1 through 11.

00:04:33.339 --> 00:04:35.099
 So please read along with me.

00:04:35.100 --> 00:04:42.340
 On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God,

00:04:42.420 --> 00:04:48.200
 he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, and he saw two boats by the lake.

00:04:48.520 --> 00:04:51.860
 But the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.

00:04:52.660 --> 00:04:57.740
 Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land.

00:04:57.740 --> 00:05:00.400
 And he sat down and taught the people from the boat.

00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.439
 And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon,

00:05:04.659 --> 00:05:08.539
 Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.

00:05:09.799 --> 00:05:11.299
 And Simon answered,

00:05:11.679 --> 00:05:17.060
 Master, we toiled all night and took nothing.

00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.539
 But at your word, I will let down the nets.

00:05:22.979 --> 00:05:27.060
 And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish.

00:05:27.379 --> 00:05:28.879
 And their nets were breaking.

00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:32.399
 They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them.

00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:36.240
 And they came and filled both the boats so that they began to sink.

00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:43.620
 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees,

00:05:44.420 --> 00:05:49.100
 saying, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

00:05:50.259 --> 00:05:57.060
 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken.

00:05:57.060 --> 00:06:02.720
 And so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon.

00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:05.759
 And Jesus said to Simon,

00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:07.660
 Do not be afraid.

00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.720
 From now on, you will be catching men.

00:06:13.139 --> 00:06:18.620
 And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.

00:06:18.620 --> 00:06:21.300
 Let's pray together.

00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:24.459
 Lord, we thank you for your word.

00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:28.360
 And we thank you that in it you reveal yourself to us.

00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:32.699
 Lord, that it is not simply an instruction book for us on how to live.

00:06:33.019 --> 00:06:34.600
 But it is a book about you.

00:06:34.819 --> 00:06:38.100
 That we might see you clearly and know you rightly.

00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.319
 And respond in love and worship and obedience.

00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.980
 God, what a precious gift it is that you have given us your word.

00:06:47.620 --> 00:06:51.500
 So that we might know what kind of a God you truly are.

00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:56.139
 And Lord, as we look at this word this morning, I pray for receptive hearts.

00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:02.019
 Lord, for eyes that are ready to see you anew, afresh.

00:07:02.420 --> 00:07:03.899
 Or maybe for the first time.

00:07:05.459 --> 00:07:07.319
 Lord, I pray that you might use me.

00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:13.759
 Lord, that my words would be useful in lifting up Jesus in our midst.

00:07:13.980 --> 00:07:16.480
 That we might see him and respond.

00:07:17.180 --> 00:07:18.759
 And we pray this in Jesus' name.

00:07:19.740 --> 00:07:20.219
 Amen.

00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:24.839
 Well, friends.

00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:30.519
 As we look at this story, one of the fun things about doing the Gospels is that they're stories.

00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.300
 And by that I don't mean they're fictional.

00:07:33.699 --> 00:07:35.279
 By that I mean they're narrative.

00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:41.379
 Which means that the way that God is telling truth is telling it through an account of what happened.

00:07:42.379 --> 00:07:44.679
 And so, what we're going to do is we're going to look at this.

00:07:44.779 --> 00:07:49.779
 And instead of giving you an outline of here are the three theses that Luke wants you to understand.

00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.859
 What I want you to see is there are three movements in this drama.

00:07:53.359 --> 00:07:55.619
 There are three actions that happen.

00:07:55.699 --> 00:07:56.519
 Or three places.

00:07:57.659 --> 00:08:05.139
 Three sections of this passage that capture us and grip us and teach us a bit about what is going on.

00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:08.559
 We're going to see first, we're going to see Jesus unveiled.

00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:12.339
 And secondly, we're going to see Peter undone.

00:08:12.819 --> 00:08:17.239
 And third, we are going to see Jesus calling for us to follow.

00:08:17.899 --> 00:08:21.959
 So, let's look at those three movements and see what they have for us this morning.

00:08:22.039 --> 00:08:25.679
 First of all, Jesus unveiled in the glory of the catch.

00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:27.899
 This is in verses 1 through 7.

00:08:27.899 --> 00:08:31.979
 And as you look at this, I want you to sit by the Sea of Galilee.

00:08:32.179 --> 00:08:36.360
 This Gennesaret is just a section of shoreline along the Sea of Galilee.

00:08:36.500 --> 00:08:38.559
 Luke uses a different word to tell you.

00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:41.679
 It's the same familiar place of Galilee.

00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:45.279
 So, Jesus is ministering up north in Israel.

00:08:46.139 --> 00:08:48.039
 He's collected a group of people.

00:08:48.179 --> 00:08:49.799
 They've heard about what he's doing.

00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:52.100
 They've heard about his teaching with authority.

00:08:52.100 --> 00:08:54.259
 And they've gathered along to do it.

00:08:54.460 --> 00:08:57.040
 I want you to notice, too, that Luke says on one occasion.

00:08:57.680 --> 00:09:02.060
 He's not saying this is an account of everything Jesus did.

00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:07.320
 And he's not even saying, oh, and this is what happened right after what happened at the end of chapter 4.

00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:12.580
 He's just saying, oh, let me tell you something else about what Jesus was doing during this time.

00:09:13.139 --> 00:09:14.500
 And he was gathered in this.

00:09:14.620 --> 00:09:17.840
 And the crowd became so big that they were pressing in on him.

00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:21.580
 And he saw the crowd growing and he thought, how do I love them?

00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:25.040
 They've come here to hear the words that I have to say to them.

00:09:25.060 --> 00:09:26.200
 And I want them to do that.

00:09:26.259 --> 00:09:28.920
 So, we love them enough to look for a solution.

00:09:29.860 --> 00:09:31.440
 And lo and behold, there it was.

00:09:31.580 --> 00:09:33.820
 Two fishing boats by the water.

00:09:34.180 --> 00:09:38.280
 The fishermen, having fished all night, were now out of their boats.

00:09:39.920 --> 00:09:42.840
 Tending to their nets at the end of a long night.

00:09:43.420 --> 00:09:46.680
 And he said to the fishermen, hey, can I use your boat?

00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.939
 And so, they pushed out from shore and the boat became his pulpit.

00:09:51.199 --> 00:09:56.659
 And the water became his microphone amplification as he preached to a large crowd.

00:09:57.319 --> 00:10:00.259
 But notice that for Luke, this isn't the point today.

00:10:00.459 --> 00:10:03.539
 It is the context in which Jesus was doing something else.

00:10:03.739 --> 00:10:04.899
 It's simply the setup.

00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:10.279
 Because in verse 4 then, we begin to see the story really take shape.

00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:22.120
 Peter, put out into the deep.

00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:24.759
 Put your nets down.

00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:32.159
 Now, Peter would have been pretty taken aback by this.

00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:34.000
 For a number of reasons.

00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:38.820
 One, Jesus was a carpenter, not a fisherman.

00:10:39.620 --> 00:10:42.740
 Or maybe Jesus was an itinerant religious teacher.

00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:45.679
 But he still didn't know anything about fishing.

00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:52.360
 And anyone who knows anything about fishing knows that if you've fished all night and you haven't caught anything,

00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:57.759
 you don't go out in the middle of the day to try again.

00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:00.840
 Because the fish aren't out in the middle of the day.

00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:04.159
 That's why fishermen always fish at dawn and dusk.

00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:05.899
 They go out in the right times of day.

00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:08.620
 And this was the wrong time of day.

00:11:09.659 --> 00:11:11.360
 As one commentator said,

00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:34.180
 But interestingly, with all of that resistance, Peter still responds.

00:11:34.659 --> 00:11:36.420
 He knows something of Jesus.

00:11:36.419 --> 00:11:41.319
 He's heard the teaching, maybe, as he's been mending the nets.

00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:47.860
 Maybe, likely, the account of his healing of his mother had happened, as it was reported in chapter 4.

00:11:48.059 --> 00:11:49.479
 He knew something of him.

00:11:49.539 --> 00:11:50.599
 He called him master.

00:11:51.199 --> 00:11:55.219
 It's an honorary term, like, of teacher or one who deserves honor.

00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:57.159
 He said,

00:11:57.579 --> 00:12:02.620
 This is the dumbest thing in the world, but alright, I'll try it.

00:12:06.419 --> 00:12:15.259
 Peter allowed Jesus to invade an inappropriate place in his life.

00:12:16.339 --> 00:12:18.059
 Peter may have looked at him and said,

00:12:18.259 --> 00:12:19.740
 He's a great teacher.

00:12:20.500 --> 00:12:22.299
 He maybe even, he healed my mother.

00:12:23.779 --> 00:12:27.019
 That seems like a good place for Jesus to stay in my life.

00:12:27.019 --> 00:12:33.980
 Now Jesus has insinuated himself into the place of Peter's expertise.

00:12:35.199 --> 00:12:37.100
 The place of his greatest ability.

00:12:40.539 --> 00:12:43.019
 Peter's doubtful, but he gives him a chance.

00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:47.000
 I want to stop for a minute.

00:12:47.740 --> 00:12:49.259
 I want you to think about your own life.

00:12:50.199 --> 00:12:51.860
 Jesus walks into your lab.

00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:54.519
 Why don't you try this?

00:12:54.519 --> 00:13:01.659
 I couldn't even begin to, like, give you technical terms.

00:13:01.899 --> 00:13:02.699
 Titrate this.

00:13:03.899 --> 00:13:04.840
 Spin this.

00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:06.460
 I don't even know.

00:13:06.539 --> 00:13:07.439
 I was an astry major.

00:13:07.699 --> 00:13:08.279
 You know what I mean.

00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:11.720
 Jesus walks into your homeschooling.

00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:15.620
 Maybe you should do this with your kids.

00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:18.919
 He invites you into your romantic life.

00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:20.120
 He goes along on the date.

00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:22.120
 Follows you into your bedroom.

00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.519
 How about this?

00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.120
 He walks with you down the hall in your high school.

00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:34.139
 Greeting your friends.

00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.019
 Sitting with you in the lunchroom.

00:13:41.980 --> 00:13:42.940
 How do you respond?

00:13:42.940 --> 00:13:49.660
 Master, we fished all night.

00:13:49.740 --> 00:13:50.800
 We didn't catch anything.

00:13:51.020 --> 00:13:54.480
 But since you ask, we'll do it.

00:13:56.880 --> 00:14:01.400
 I'll bet he wouldn't get master out of us most of the time.

00:14:02.560 --> 00:14:03.960
 More like the question.

00:14:04.660 --> 00:14:07.200
 Jesus, what do you have to do with this part of my life?

00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:08.980
 This isn't where you belong.

00:14:13.420 --> 00:14:16.200
 In those places of our greatest expertise.

00:14:16.680 --> 00:14:18.280
 When we think we're in control,

00:14:18.379 --> 00:14:22.740
 and when we think God really doesn't know what he's doing or what he's up to,

00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:27.540
 we resist him, and we don't see him as he truly is.

00:14:27.539 --> 00:14:33.379
 But Peter gave him a doubtful chance.

00:14:34.500 --> 00:14:36.539
 And look with me at verse 6 and 7.

00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:42.919
 Luke tells us in excruciating detail to make sure we don't miss what happened.

00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:50.059
 They enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking.

00:14:50.059 --> 00:14:56.719
 That meant that the weight was greater than what those nets were built to catch.

00:14:57.599 --> 00:15:00.099
 And so they called their friend over in the other boat,

00:15:00.239 --> 00:15:01.739
 and they put the fish in the boat,

00:15:02.019 --> 00:15:04.619
 and these boats that were made to fish,

00:15:05.019 --> 00:15:11.079
 made to hold fish, were sinking because the catch was so great.

00:15:12.659 --> 00:15:15.619
 This is a fisherman's tale beyond belief.

00:15:16.019 --> 00:15:18.239
 It was this big!

00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:21.060
 But it really was.

00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:22.840
 It wasn't a fiction.

00:15:24.980 --> 00:15:27.080
 And joy turns into panic.

00:15:27.379 --> 00:15:29.139
 But it's a gleeful panic.

00:15:29.299 --> 00:15:30.480
 What are we going to do?

00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:33.340
 And notice this too.

00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:37.299
 When Jesus invades Peter's area of expertise,

00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:39.600
 he doesn't do it flippantly.

00:15:39.940 --> 00:15:44.159
 It's not just a random display of power for the fun of it.

00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:51.279
 He actually graciously provides for Peter the thing that he most needed and didn't have on his own.

00:15:52.439 --> 00:16:00.219
 He blessed Peter and the other fishermen with the catch that they could not catch on their own.

00:16:00.220 --> 00:16:05.940
 So Jesus' display of power was not simply asserting himself to say,

00:16:06.460 --> 00:16:10.500
 I'm better than you, or I'm bigger than you, or I'm greater than you,

00:16:10.500 --> 00:16:13.540
 although all of those things, as we will see, are true.

00:16:13.539 --> 00:16:19.480
 But he's saying, don't you see how much I love you?

00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:23.919
 That I will use all of my greatness for your good.

00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:32.240
 And so, with Peter, we must look at this Jesus again with new eyes.

00:16:32.719 --> 00:16:34.019
 Who is this man?

00:16:34.139 --> 00:16:36.120
 Suddenly the compartments come down.

00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:40.179
 It's running through Peter's head.

00:16:40.219 --> 00:16:40.719
 Who is he?

00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:42.019
 What has he just done?

00:16:42.860 --> 00:16:46.219
 He's the creator who knows the fish.

00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:48.879
 Whether he commanded them to jump into the nets,

00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.219
 or whether he just knew where they were at the wrong time of day,

00:16:52.220 --> 00:16:55.560
 he's the one who rules over creation.

00:16:55.800 --> 00:16:59.879
 He's the almighty provider who's able, at the snap of his finger,

00:17:00.620 --> 00:17:04.799
 with what humanly seems like an irrational request,

00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:07.380
 provide the thing that we most need.

00:17:07.700 --> 00:17:10.640
 He is the sovereign over all.

00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:13.360
 He is the Holy One of God.

00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:14.339
 Who is he?

00:17:14.579 --> 00:17:16.360
 This must be God.

00:17:16.360 --> 00:17:17.940
 Not just a teacher.

00:17:18.420 --> 00:17:20.759
 Not just a helpful man

00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:24.619
 who might tell me something useful about my spiritual life.

00:17:24.619 --> 00:17:27.759
 But someone who is greater than all.

00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:30.359
 This must be God.

00:17:32.500 --> 00:17:34.099
 The analogy is,

00:17:34.619 --> 00:17:38.500
 if Jesus can rule in the area of my greatest expertise,

00:17:39.220 --> 00:17:43.160
 then doesn't he have a claim to rule over all?

00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:47.480
 If Jesus can do this in the place where I'm the professional,

00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:55.900
 then doesn't Jesus make me accountable to him in everything that I do?

00:17:57.580 --> 00:18:02.560
 And if that request is so surprising,

00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:05.200
 and the response so unbelievable,

00:18:05.700 --> 00:18:08.640
 then the second thing that happens in this story

00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:13.120
 is additionally so surprising.

00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:14.800
 Because,

00:18:15.360 --> 00:18:19.420
 as we see moving on to verses 8 through 10,

00:18:19.520 --> 00:18:20.860
 we see our second movement.

00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:22.880
 Because we see Peter,

00:18:23.620 --> 00:18:24.300
 Simon Peter,

00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:25.140
 responding,

00:18:26.500 --> 00:18:27.960
 and his response

00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:29.480
 is surprising.

00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.259
 What we see is him undone.

00:18:33.420 --> 00:18:34.860
 Look with me again at verse 8.

00:18:34.859 --> 00:18:37.079
 When Simon Peter saw it,

00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:38.839
 he fell down at Jesus' knees,

00:18:39.299 --> 00:18:39.559
 saying,

00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:40.779
 Depart from me,

00:18:40.879 --> 00:18:43.059
 for I am a sinful man,

00:18:43.219 --> 00:18:43.839
 O Lord.

00:18:46.459 --> 00:18:48.619
 With echoes of the Isaiah passage

00:18:48.619 --> 00:18:49.779
 that we read further,

00:18:50.059 --> 00:18:53.559
 when Isaiah encountered the glory of God,

00:18:53.719 --> 00:18:55.339
 and fell down before him,

00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:55.679
 and says,

00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:56.740
 Woe is me.

00:18:57.179 --> 00:19:00.159
 Peter falls down before Jesus.

00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:04.440
 And he says three things.

00:19:04.840 --> 00:19:06.180
 First thing he says is,

00:19:06.420 --> 00:19:07.320
 Depart from me.

00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:11.100
 This is not a Mike Myers,

00:19:11.259 --> 00:19:12.360
 I am not worthy.

00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:14.300
 There is no tongue in cheek.

00:19:15.460 --> 00:19:17.660
 It is not even just awe and wonder.

00:19:18.019 --> 00:19:19.320
 You are bigger than me.

00:19:21.220 --> 00:19:22.220
 But what it is,

00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:23.900
 is in this common pattern

00:19:23.900 --> 00:19:25.920
 that we see over and over in the scriptures,

00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:29.940
 when people encounter God himself,

00:19:30.420 --> 00:19:31.920
 when people encounter messengers

00:19:32.560 --> 00:19:34.000
 of the God most high,

00:19:34.980 --> 00:19:37.200
 they fall down on their faces,

00:19:37.840 --> 00:19:39.960
 and their beginning start is,

00:19:40.420 --> 00:19:40.860
 O Lord,

00:19:41.320 --> 00:19:42.779
 I can't handle this.

00:19:42.840 --> 00:19:43.740
 It's too much.

00:19:44.140 --> 00:19:45.279
 Depart from me,

00:19:45.539 --> 00:19:46.480
 for I am afraid

00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:48.560
 that I might die in your presence.

00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:49.840
 Depart from me,

00:19:49.900 --> 00:19:51.000
 for I am fearful

00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:52.940
 that I am not worthy

00:19:52.940 --> 00:19:54.640
 to be before you.

00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:57.820
 I cannot stand

00:19:57.820 --> 00:19:59.259
 in your presence.

00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:03.200
 It would be like the present

00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:04.480
 who,

00:20:04.900 --> 00:20:06.680
 hearing a surprising knock at the door,

00:20:07.500 --> 00:20:08.600
 finds the king

00:20:08.600 --> 00:20:10.200
 standing at the doorstep saying,

00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:11.620
 May I come in and eat?

00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:14.860
 No, I'm not worthy.

00:20:15.220 --> 00:20:16.519
 My table is not clean.

00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:17.900
 My food is not good enough.

00:20:18.140 --> 00:20:19.519
 I have nothing to offer

00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:21.660
 what you really deserve.

00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:24.740
 You must be mistaken, Lord.

00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:27.560
 It must be another house

00:20:27.560 --> 00:20:28.440
 you're looking for.

00:20:29.340 --> 00:20:31.220
 I think that's what Peter is saying

00:20:31.220 --> 00:20:31.660
 when he says,

00:20:31.800 --> 00:20:32.720
 Depart from me, Lord.

00:20:32.840 --> 00:20:34.460
 He's expressing this fear.

00:20:36.539 --> 00:20:37.800
 Then the second thing,

00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:39.500
 For I am a sinful man.

00:20:42.800 --> 00:20:44.360
 Jesus hasn't said anything

00:20:44.360 --> 00:20:45.160
 about sin.

00:20:46.060 --> 00:20:47.279
 We haven't heard anything

00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:48.180
 about righteousness,

00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:49.400
 about the law,

00:20:49.580 --> 00:20:51.279
 about doing right and wrong.

00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:53.220
 None of that has happened.

00:20:53.220 --> 00:20:55.660
 How did Peter get here?

00:20:56.819 --> 00:20:58.600
 This doesn't make any sense,

00:20:58.640 --> 00:20:59.279
 does it?

00:21:03.819 --> 00:21:04.900
 Spurgeon helpfully

00:21:04.900 --> 00:21:06.740
 says this about it.

00:21:06.740 --> 00:21:09.039
 I do not doubt

00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:09.839
 that in the sermon

00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:10.799
 which Christ delivered,

00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:12.920
 there was such a clear declaration

00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:14.140
 of the holiness of God

00:21:14.140 --> 00:21:15.740
 that Peter felt himself

00:21:15.740 --> 00:21:16.900
 unveiled,

00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:18.440
 discovered,

00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:20.180
 his heart laid bare.

00:21:20.180 --> 00:21:21.900
 And now came

00:21:21.900 --> 00:21:23.019
 the finishing stroke.

00:21:23.299 --> 00:21:24.840
 The one who had done this

00:21:24.840 --> 00:21:25.820
 could also rule

00:21:25.820 --> 00:21:27.039
 the fishes of the sea.

00:21:27.660 --> 00:21:28.940
 He must, therefore,

00:21:29.340 --> 00:21:30.039
 be God.

00:21:30.380 --> 00:21:31.660
 And if it was to God

00:21:31.660 --> 00:21:32.820
 that all the defects

00:21:32.820 --> 00:21:34.200
 and evils of Peter's heart

00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:35.340
 had been revealed

00:21:35.340 --> 00:21:36.460
 and thoroughly known,

00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:38.980
 and almost fearing,

00:21:39.940 --> 00:21:40.880
 with a kind of

00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:42.600
 inarticulate cry of alarm

00:21:42.600 --> 00:21:43.980
 because the criminal

00:21:43.980 --> 00:21:44.779
 was in the presence

00:21:44.779 --> 00:21:45.580
 of the judge,

00:21:46.120 --> 00:21:46.880
 the polluted

00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:47.500
 in the presence

00:21:47.500 --> 00:21:48.420
 of the immaculate,

00:21:48.420 --> 00:21:49.740
 Peter says,

00:21:49.820 --> 00:21:50.800
 depart from me

00:21:50.800 --> 00:21:53.880
 for I am a sinful man,

00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:55.400
 O Lord.

00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:00.820
 When we find ourselves

00:22:00.820 --> 00:22:02.080
 in the presence of God,

00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:03.880
 we find ourselves

00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:04.480
 in the presence

00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:05.300
 of all of him.

00:22:06.460 --> 00:22:08.600
 And in his perfect power,

00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:11.300
 in his perfect creatorness

00:22:11.300 --> 00:22:13.220
 that rules over all things,

00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:14.600
 he is also the perfect

00:22:14.600 --> 00:22:15.880
 moral one.

00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:18.340
 And in his greatness,

00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:20.180
 we see our smallness.

00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:21.740
 In his perfection,

00:22:22.060 --> 00:22:23.500
 we see our sinfulness.

00:22:24.340 --> 00:22:25.740
 In his power,

00:22:26.020 --> 00:22:27.300
 we see our weakness.

00:22:30.300 --> 00:22:31.980
 And Peter confesses it.

00:22:32.580 --> 00:22:34.160
 For I am a sinful man.

00:22:34.280 --> 00:22:35.420
 I cannot stand

00:22:35.420 --> 00:22:37.900
 before your holiness.

00:22:37.900 --> 00:22:42.680
 I think it's possible

00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:44.700
 that part of what Peter

00:22:44.700 --> 00:22:45.519
 recognized

00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:46.960
 in that moment

00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:47.580
 was,

00:22:48.259 --> 00:22:50.320
 I didn't really think,

00:22:50.820 --> 00:22:51.060
 Jesus,

00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:52.140
 that you knew anything

00:22:52.140 --> 00:22:52.920
 about fishing.

00:22:53.700 --> 00:22:55.180
 And so I had you over here

00:22:55.180 --> 00:22:56.620
 in this nice little compartment

00:22:56.620 --> 00:22:58.259
 in my life.

00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:01.940
 And you've now blown that up.

00:23:01.940 --> 00:23:04.720
 And I've recognized

00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:06.600
 how sinful that is.

00:23:06.779 --> 00:23:08.059
 Because if you are God

00:23:08.059 --> 00:23:08.799
 over all,

00:23:09.360 --> 00:23:10.100
 then you are God

00:23:10.100 --> 00:23:10.660
 over me.

00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:13.580
 And I am a sinful man

00:23:13.580 --> 00:23:16.960
 for not seeing your glory

00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:18.380
 and responding rightly.

00:23:22.140 --> 00:23:23.140
 Depart from me,

00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:24.380
 for I am a sinful man,

00:23:24.600 --> 00:23:25.680
 O Lord.

00:23:27.620 --> 00:23:29.120
 This is the final recognition.

00:23:29.259 --> 00:23:30.259
 He called him earlier,

00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:30.799
 Master.

00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:33.759
 You're one who deserves honor.

00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:35.319
 But now he says,

00:23:35.500 --> 00:23:36.259
 you are Lord.

00:23:36.919 --> 00:23:37.839
 And fascinatingly,

00:23:37.899 --> 00:23:38.759
 if you have the time,

00:23:38.859 --> 00:23:40.919
 go back and read Luke 1-3

00:23:40.919 --> 00:23:44.720
 and see the almost 30 times

00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:47.480
 when the writer Luke

00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:48.799
 uses the word Lord.

00:23:50.579 --> 00:23:52.299
 And in all of those contexts,

00:23:52.419 --> 00:23:53.779
 it is the Lord God Almighty,

00:23:53.919 --> 00:23:55.019
 the Lord who rules over,

00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:56.379
 the Lord of Israel,

00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:57.599
 the Lord of the promises

00:23:57.599 --> 00:23:58.500
 of the Old Testament,

00:23:58.919 --> 00:24:00.759
 the Lord who brings life

00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:01.879
 to a virgin womb,

00:24:01.980 --> 00:24:03.079
 the Lord who appears

00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:06.700
 and opens barren Elizabeth,

00:24:07.099 --> 00:24:09.220
 the Lord who has shown favor

00:24:09.220 --> 00:24:11.720
 to those who don't deserve favor.

00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:14.039
 It is this sovereign good Lord.

00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:17.799
 And Peter now uses this term

00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:18.500
 on his lips,

00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:19.720
 no longer master,

00:24:20.299 --> 00:24:21.000
 but Lord.

00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:29.240
 Peter has experienced both his awesome power

00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:30.160
 and greatness

00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.420
 and his gracious goodness.

00:24:33.420 --> 00:24:38.259
 And in this,

00:24:38.340 --> 00:24:39.160
 he is undone.

00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:44.220
 He's forgotten about the fish.

00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:46.740
 He fell down in the boat

00:24:46.740 --> 00:24:47.860
 at Jesus' knees.

00:24:50.060 --> 00:24:50.680
 Suddenly,

00:24:51.060 --> 00:24:53.060
 as he sees what Jesus has done,

00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:54.380
 Jesus now fills

00:24:54.380 --> 00:24:56.100
 the whole screen of his life.

00:24:56.560 --> 00:24:58.259
 Everything that he's concerned about

00:24:58.259 --> 00:24:59.420
 now fades.

00:24:59.420 --> 00:25:02.400
 Only Jesus is there.

00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:07.019
 Friends,

00:25:07.080 --> 00:25:08.920
 I wonder if Jesus has undone you

00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:10.740
 this morning.

00:25:14.340 --> 00:25:16.100
 I wonder if you've seen him

00:25:16.100 --> 00:25:17.380
 as he really is.

00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:20.560
 If he's opened your eyes

00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:25.099
 to see him as the creator

00:25:25.099 --> 00:25:26.339
 to whom you're accountable,

00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:28.240
 as the holy one

00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:29.419
 whose moral perfection

00:25:29.419 --> 00:25:31.779
 exposes our sin

00:25:31.779 --> 00:25:33.759
 and the ugliness

00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:34.759
 of our hearts.

00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:38.619
 His gracious love for us

00:25:38.619 --> 00:25:41.619
 that shows us

00:25:41.619 --> 00:25:43.099
 how ungrateful and selfish

00:25:43.099 --> 00:25:44.200
 we really are.

00:25:45.940 --> 00:25:47.500
 His sovereign goodness

00:25:47.500 --> 00:25:48.519
 that shows us

00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:49.899
 how often we grasp

00:25:49.900 --> 00:25:51.480
 for control,

00:25:51.980 --> 00:25:52.620
 for power

00:25:52.620 --> 00:25:54.380
 in our own lives.

00:25:58.360 --> 00:26:00.120
 Have you seen him

00:26:00.120 --> 00:26:02.920
 as he really is?

00:26:04.540 --> 00:26:06.259
 Has he undone you?

00:26:08.019 --> 00:26:09.980
 When he undoes you,

00:26:10.140 --> 00:26:11.460
 there's no more pretense.

00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:14.080
 There's no more excuses.

00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:17.339
 There's no more expertise

00:26:17.339 --> 00:26:18.740
 to fall back on

00:26:18.740 --> 00:26:20.980
 in parts of our lives.

00:26:21.159 --> 00:26:23.019
 We are laid bare before him

00:26:23.019 --> 00:26:24.119
 when he undoes us.

00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:26.859
 We realize we have no basis

00:26:26.859 --> 00:26:28.159
 to claim

00:26:28.159 --> 00:26:30.339
 rightness before him.

00:26:30.419 --> 00:26:31.539
 We have no merit

00:26:31.539 --> 00:26:34.000
 that we might be commended

00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:35.000
 to him.

00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:36.799
 We have no goodness

00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:37.779
 to cling to

00:26:37.779 --> 00:26:40.079
 and no self

00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:40.939
 to exalt

00:26:40.939 --> 00:26:41.939
 before him.

00:26:41.940 --> 00:26:45.820
 we see him

00:26:45.820 --> 00:26:46.900
 and we are undone

00:26:46.900 --> 00:26:49.720
 because he is

00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:50.519
 greater

00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:53.680
 because he is God.

00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:00.860
 Maybe you've been a Christian

00:27:00.860 --> 00:27:01.860
 for a long time.

00:27:03.420 --> 00:27:04.680
 Maybe you grew up

00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:06.600
 reading these stories

00:27:06.600 --> 00:27:07.100
 and thinking,

00:27:07.259 --> 00:27:07.539
 oh yeah,

00:27:07.580 --> 00:27:08.220
 I know that one.

00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:08.880
 That's all about,

00:27:08.980 --> 00:27:09.620
 we'll get to the end

00:27:09.619 --> 00:27:10.599
 about following Jesus

00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:11.799
 and I know the song,

00:27:11.899 --> 00:27:12.939
 I have decided

00:27:12.939 --> 00:27:14.179
 to follow Jesus.

00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:14.439
 You know,

00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:14.619
 we,

00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:15.299
 you know,

00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:15.739
 or the,

00:27:15.859 --> 00:27:16.799
 I'm sure there are other songs

00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:17.479
 about the fishermen

00:27:17.479 --> 00:27:18.019
 and stuff,

00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:19.159
 but I didn't grow up

00:27:19.159 --> 00:27:19.959
 in that as much

00:27:19.959 --> 00:27:20.839
 so I don't know the songs.

00:27:20.979 --> 00:27:22.579
 But maybe you've grown up

00:27:22.579 --> 00:27:23.799
 in that kind of a background

00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:25.399
 and you know those stories

00:27:25.399 --> 00:27:25.939
 from heart

00:27:25.939 --> 00:27:26.639
 and you're sort of like,

00:27:26.719 --> 00:27:27.279
 yeah, yeah, yeah,

00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:28.239
 we've done this a lot.

00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:28.899
 I know that.

00:27:30.779 --> 00:27:31.799
 But I wonder if Jesus

00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:32.879
 has become too familiar

00:27:32.879 --> 00:27:33.459
 to you.

00:27:33.460 --> 00:27:36.360
 I wonder if the Jesus

00:27:36.360 --> 00:27:37.480
 of this story

00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:39.240
 has been lost to you

00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:41.579
 under the guise of

00:27:41.579 --> 00:27:42.700
 a nice,

00:27:43.299 --> 00:27:44.200
 pleasant Jesus

00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:45.819
 who wants good for you

00:27:45.819 --> 00:27:46.519
 in your life

00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:47.200
 and yeah,

00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:47.940
 he died on the cross

00:27:47.940 --> 00:27:48.660
 for your sins

00:27:48.660 --> 00:27:49.900
 and that's good

00:27:49.900 --> 00:27:50.779
 and you know,

00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:52.299
 he can sort of take care

00:27:52.299 --> 00:27:53.240
 of that part of your life

00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:53.799
 and let you go

00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:54.600
 on your merry way.

00:27:58.840 --> 00:28:00.279
 I wonder if this morning

00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:01.819
 you would see him afresh,

00:28:01.819 --> 00:28:03.279
 if you would see him

00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:04.179
 with new eyes

00:28:04.179 --> 00:28:07.339
 and see him in his glory

00:28:07.339 --> 00:28:08.759
 as he says,

00:28:08.980 --> 00:28:10.039
 I am Lord of all.

00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:12.220
 I am the giver of life.

00:28:13.659 --> 00:28:15.379
 I am the one who calls you.

00:28:17.939 --> 00:28:20.579
 Maybe some of you

00:28:20.579 --> 00:28:21.259
 are like me

00:28:21.259 --> 00:28:22.700
 and you've grown up in church

00:28:22.700 --> 00:28:24.159
 and you've known about Jesus

00:28:24.159 --> 00:28:27.019
 but you've never really

00:28:27.019 --> 00:28:27.779
 encountered him

00:28:27.779 --> 00:28:29.200
 and you've never really

00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:30.679
 seen him this way ever.

00:28:31.819 --> 00:28:35.700
 Or maybe you're here

00:28:35.700 --> 00:28:36.279
 because

00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:38.159
 through

00:28:38.159 --> 00:28:40.939
 God's gracious work

00:28:40.939 --> 00:28:41.460
 in your life

00:28:41.460 --> 00:28:42.279
 you're wondering

00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:43.759
 whether there might be

00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:44.960
 something to this Christianity.

00:28:45.259 --> 00:28:46.000
 Maybe like me

00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:46.879
 you have a friend

00:28:46.879 --> 00:28:48.000
 who

00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:49.740
 believes this stuff

00:28:49.740 --> 00:28:50.179
 and you're like

00:28:50.179 --> 00:28:51.139
 what is that all about?

00:28:51.179 --> 00:28:52.299
 I gotta figure that out.

00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:55.619
 Maybe you're here

00:28:55.619 --> 00:28:56.679
 this morning wondering

00:28:56.679 --> 00:28:58.079
 who is this Jesus?

00:28:58.079 --> 00:28:58.379
 Jesus.

00:28:58.379 --> 00:28:58.439
 Jesus.

00:28:58.439 --> 00:28:58.480
 Jesus.

00:29:01.819 --> 00:29:03.839
 Whatever it is.

00:29:05.439 --> 00:29:07.399
 Whatever your situation is.

00:29:08.740 --> 00:29:10.399
 I pray this morning

00:29:10.399 --> 00:29:11.700
 that as you see him

00:29:11.700 --> 00:29:12.939
 that you would be undone.

00:29:14.179 --> 00:29:15.179
 I pray this morning

00:29:15.179 --> 00:29:16.099
 that you would

00:29:16.099 --> 00:29:17.639
 encounter him.

00:29:18.159 --> 00:29:18.700
 Friends,

00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:19.779
 when I encountered him

00:29:19.779 --> 00:29:22.019
 it was

00:29:22.019 --> 00:29:23.019
 not because

00:29:23.019 --> 00:29:24.059
 God intervened

00:29:24.059 --> 00:29:24.419
 in some

00:29:24.419 --> 00:29:25.500
 he didn't suddenly

00:29:25.500 --> 00:29:26.359
 make me win

00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:27.639
 the lacrosse championship

00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:28.720
 or make me

00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:30.020
 the star of the school play

00:29:30.020 --> 00:29:31.300
 or give me a straight egg

00:29:31.300 --> 00:29:32.120
 average or whatever.

00:29:32.320 --> 00:29:33.200
 He didn't come in

00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:34.280
 and invade my areas

00:29:34.280 --> 00:29:34.900
 of expertise.

00:29:37.500 --> 00:29:38.259
 But through

00:29:38.259 --> 00:29:39.600
 the words of my friends

00:29:39.600 --> 00:29:40.700
 and through the words

00:29:40.700 --> 00:29:41.440
 of C.S. Lewis

00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:42.540
 and through my own time

00:29:42.540 --> 00:29:43.340
 actually reading

00:29:43.340 --> 00:29:44.759
 parts of the Bible

00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:47.360
 I encountered him

00:29:47.360 --> 00:29:49.380
 and saw who he was

00:29:49.380 --> 00:29:51.180
 and God opened my eyes

00:29:51.180 --> 00:29:52.040
 to see him

00:29:52.040 --> 00:29:53.620
 for the first time.

00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:00.460
 So friends,

00:30:00.580 --> 00:30:01.340
 wherever you are

00:30:01.340 --> 00:30:01.900
 this morning

00:30:01.900 --> 00:30:02.580
 I pray

00:30:02.580 --> 00:30:04.620
 I pray that you

00:30:04.620 --> 00:30:05.480
 would see him

00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:07.160
 and if you're sitting there

00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:07.660
 and you know

00:30:07.660 --> 00:30:09.040
 I haven't been undone

00:30:09.040 --> 00:30:09.680
 by Jesus

00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:10.920
 I don't even know

00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:11.800
 this Jesus

00:30:11.800 --> 00:30:12.960
 friends,

00:30:13.100 --> 00:30:14.180
 this is where we look.

00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:15.260
 This is where

00:30:15.260 --> 00:30:16.240
 you will find him.

00:30:16.660 --> 00:30:17.360
 Keep reading.

00:30:17.580 --> 00:30:18.320
 Keep looking.

00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:20.740
 Come talk to me.

00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:22.119
 Talk to your friend

00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:22.879
 who brought you.

00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:24.059
 Talk to your friend

00:30:24.059 --> 00:30:24.659
 who you've known

00:30:24.659 --> 00:30:25.460
 for 30 years

00:30:25.460 --> 00:30:26.339
 as you've gone to church

00:30:26.339 --> 00:30:26.799
 together

00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:28.460
 and marvel again

00:30:28.460 --> 00:30:29.700
 at who Jesus is.

00:30:32.139 --> 00:30:33.579
 Be undone by him.

00:30:37.919 --> 00:30:40.019
 So Jesus unveils himself

00:30:40.019 --> 00:30:41.939
 in his glory.

00:30:43.059 --> 00:30:44.240
 Peter and his friends

00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:45.679
 and we are undone

00:30:45.679 --> 00:30:46.919
 as we see him

00:30:46.919 --> 00:30:47.960
 as he really is.

00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:49.439
 And then Jesus

00:30:49.439 --> 00:30:51.039
 responds to us again

00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:53.079
 as he does to Peter

00:30:53.079 --> 00:30:54.500
 and he gives this call.

00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:56.500
 Look with me again.

00:30:57.619 --> 00:30:58.599
 Verse 10.

00:31:01.220 --> 00:31:02.299
 Second half.

00:31:02.859 --> 00:31:03.980
 And Jesus said to Simon

00:31:03.980 --> 00:31:05.019
 don't be afraid.

00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:07.099
 That is

00:31:07.099 --> 00:31:07.799
 I haven't come

00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:08.799
 to destroy you.

00:31:10.460 --> 00:31:11.500
 I'm not going

00:31:11.500 --> 00:31:12.799
 to simply wipe you out

00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:14.079
 though your sin is real

00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:17.039
 and though your unworthiness

00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:17.639
 is right.

00:31:19.439 --> 00:31:19.879
 No

00:31:19.879 --> 00:31:20.599
 I've come

00:31:20.599 --> 00:31:21.659
 to do something else.

00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:22.879
 You see

00:31:22.879 --> 00:31:23.559
 it's never been

00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:24.460
 about the fish.

00:31:25.879 --> 00:31:26.579
 The beginning

00:31:26.579 --> 00:31:26.960
 and the end

00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:27.439
 of the story

00:31:27.439 --> 00:31:28.139
 tell us that

00:31:28.139 --> 00:31:29.779
 the fish

00:31:29.779 --> 00:31:30.359
 has just been

00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:30.960
 a sign

00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:31.699
 and a symbol

00:31:31.699 --> 00:31:32.599
 and an unveiling

00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:33.359
 of the person.

00:31:34.859 --> 00:31:35.619
 Jesus says

00:31:35.619 --> 00:31:36.379
 no I'm not going

00:31:36.379 --> 00:31:37.419
 to run from you

00:31:37.419 --> 00:31:37.779
 Peter.

00:31:37.899 --> 00:31:38.220
 Instead

00:31:38.220 --> 00:31:39.179
 I'm going to call you.

00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:40.660
 I'm going to call you

00:31:40.660 --> 00:31:42.039
 to follow me.

00:31:44.380 --> 00:31:45.560
 He doesn't say

00:31:45.560 --> 00:31:46.580
 okay now you've

00:31:46.580 --> 00:31:47.480
 understood me better

00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:48.820
 go back and do your thing

00:31:48.820 --> 00:31:49.460
 and we'll go on

00:31:49.460 --> 00:31:50.220
 and do our thing

00:31:50.220 --> 00:31:51.000
 and I'll go teach

00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:51.820
 and you go fish

00:31:51.820 --> 00:31:52.519
 and we'll be fine.

00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:53.880
 Isn't that nice?

00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:56.140
 Jesus doesn't say that.

00:31:57.660 --> 00:31:58.279
 He says

00:31:58.279 --> 00:31:58.980
 no I've come

00:31:58.980 --> 00:31:59.560
 to radically

00:31:59.560 --> 00:32:00.980
 reorient your life.

00:32:03.740 --> 00:32:04.519
 There's a place

00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:05.279
 for you to fish.

00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:08.859
 but what I want

00:32:08.859 --> 00:32:09.500
 you to do

00:32:09.500 --> 00:32:11.240
 is I want you

00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:12.019
 to begin to see

00:32:12.019 --> 00:32:12.799
 what I'm about

00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:14.440
 and to reorient

00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:15.619
 your life around me

00:32:15.619 --> 00:32:17.680
 and what my purposes

00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:18.519
 are in the world

00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:20.119
 and what my glory

00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:21.059
 is all about.

00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:23.259
 He says

00:32:23.259 --> 00:32:24.819
 no longer

00:32:24.819 --> 00:32:25.619
 will you fish

00:32:25.619 --> 00:32:28.019
 for those things

00:32:28.019 --> 00:32:28.559
 in the lake

00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:29.539
 but you will fish

00:32:29.539 --> 00:32:30.240
 for the souls

00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:31.819
 of men and women.

00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:35.619
 He'll say

00:32:35.619 --> 00:32:36.700
 come follow me

00:32:36.700 --> 00:32:37.579
 because this is

00:32:37.579 --> 00:32:38.119
 what I'm about

00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:38.680
 don't you see

00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:39.559
 this is my teaching

00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:40.779
 ministry that you've seen.

00:32:41.259 --> 00:32:42.779
 The net that I throw out

00:32:42.779 --> 00:32:43.299
 is the net

00:32:43.299 --> 00:32:44.059
 of the good news

00:32:44.059 --> 00:32:45.160
 of the kingdom of God

00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:45.839
 and the gospel

00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:48.279
 and the catch

00:32:48.279 --> 00:32:48.839
 that I get

00:32:48.839 --> 00:32:49.379
 is not

00:32:49.379 --> 00:32:52.819
 flapping little

00:32:52.819 --> 00:32:54.319
 fish

00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:55.579
 but it's the souls

00:32:55.579 --> 00:32:56.700
 of men and women

00:32:56.700 --> 00:32:58.319
 cast over the crowds.

00:33:00.139 --> 00:33:01.119
 This is the call

00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:01.920
 that Jesus gives

00:33:01.920 --> 00:33:02.339
 to them.

00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:03.859
 He says

00:33:03.859 --> 00:33:05.419
 Peter you are not undone

00:33:05.419 --> 00:33:07.299
 I am now capturing you

00:33:07.299 --> 00:33:08.139
 and calling you

00:33:08.139 --> 00:33:08.679
 in fact

00:33:08.679 --> 00:33:11.399
 into a greater thing

00:33:11.399 --> 00:33:12.659
 than what you've ever done

00:33:12.659 --> 00:33:14.979
 and as you are undone

00:33:14.979 --> 00:33:16.559
 from all these little things

00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:19.919
 that consumed your lives

00:33:19.919 --> 00:33:21.539
 and dominated your attention

00:33:21.539 --> 00:33:23.259
 now I want you

00:33:23.259 --> 00:33:24.759
 to reorient those things

00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:26.019
 around me

00:33:26.019 --> 00:33:28.079
 and the things

00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:29.019
 that I am about.

00:33:29.019 --> 00:33:33.420
 he wants to say

00:33:33.420 --> 00:33:34.079
 no longer

00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:34.759
 is fishing

00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:36.660
 the purpose

00:33:36.660 --> 00:33:37.420
 of your life.

00:33:38.500 --> 00:33:39.339
 No longer

00:33:39.339 --> 00:33:39.900
 is fishing

00:33:39.900 --> 00:33:40.940
 your security.

00:33:41.400 --> 00:33:41.839
 No longer

00:33:41.839 --> 00:33:42.420
 is fishing

00:33:42.420 --> 00:33:43.720
 your capital.

00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:44.839
 No longer

00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:46.039
 is being a fisherman

00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:47.139
 your identity.

00:33:51.299 --> 00:33:52.319
 Jesus is Lord

00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:52.759
 of all

00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:53.839
 the fish

00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:54.619
 and the fishermen

00:33:54.619 --> 00:33:56.419
 and he has come

00:33:56.419 --> 00:33:56.799
 to say

00:33:56.799 --> 00:33:57.519
 I now

00:33:57.519 --> 00:33:58.419
 as I call you

00:33:58.419 --> 00:33:59.119
 to follow me

00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:00.759
 I will be for you

00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:01.799
 your security

00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:02.899
 your capital

00:34:02.899 --> 00:34:03.959
 your identity

00:34:03.959 --> 00:34:05.179
 your purpose

00:34:05.179 --> 00:34:06.039
 in life.

00:34:10.359 --> 00:34:11.480
 Jesus is saying

00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:12.699
 I am not the moon

00:34:12.699 --> 00:34:13.819
 that simply reflects

00:34:13.819 --> 00:34:14.679
 light on you

00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:15.339
 at the night

00:34:15.339 --> 00:34:16.819
 but I am the sun

00:34:16.819 --> 00:34:18.079
 around which you

00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:19.119
 and the planets

00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:19.799
 of your life

00:34:19.799 --> 00:34:20.719
 are meant to orbit.

00:34:21.279 --> 00:34:22.359
 I am meant to be

00:34:22.359 --> 00:34:23.159
 and call you

00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:23.980
 to make me

00:34:23.980 --> 00:34:25.179
 the gravitational

00:34:25.179 --> 00:34:25.719
 center

00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:27.179
 of what you are

00:34:27.179 --> 00:34:28.899
 and who you are.

00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:32.420
 Because don't you see

00:34:32.420 --> 00:34:33.259
 how easy it is

00:34:33.259 --> 00:34:33.839
 for us

00:34:33.839 --> 00:34:36.699
 to not do that?

00:34:36.899 --> 00:34:37.759
 How easy it is

00:34:37.759 --> 00:34:38.519
 for us to say

00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:39.379
 yeah Jesus

00:34:39.379 --> 00:34:39.940
 we will give you

00:34:39.940 --> 00:34:40.599
 some of it

00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:41.940
 but not this stuff

00:34:41.940 --> 00:34:43.059
 you can't touch this.

00:34:43.799 --> 00:34:44.899
 This is mine

00:34:44.899 --> 00:34:45.559
 this is where

00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:46.379
 I am in charge

00:34:46.379 --> 00:34:47.279
 this is where

00:34:47.279 --> 00:34:48.399
 I exalt myself

00:34:48.399 --> 00:34:49.519
 this is where

00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:51.000
 I am the one

00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:52.000
 who knows

00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:52.899
 what is going on.

00:34:53.159 --> 00:34:55.599
 Jesus says

00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:55.980
 no

00:34:55.980 --> 00:34:57.019
 I am the lord

00:34:57.019 --> 00:34:57.679
 of everything

00:34:57.679 --> 00:35:00.259
 even your fishing

00:35:00.259 --> 00:35:04.599
 and now look

00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:05.339
 let's make sure

00:35:05.339 --> 00:35:06.199
 we get this right

00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:08.259
 Jesus doesn't call

00:35:08.259 --> 00:35:08.960
 all Christians

00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:09.759
 to forsake

00:35:09.759 --> 00:35:11.079
 every other vocation

00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:12.539
 to become a minister

00:35:12.539 --> 00:35:14.719
 in case you are

00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:15.699
 confused by that

00:35:15.699 --> 00:35:16.839
 that is not

00:35:16.839 --> 00:35:17.539
 what he is saying

00:35:17.539 --> 00:35:17.859
 here

00:35:17.859 --> 00:35:19.000
 right?

00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:20.800
 not everyone

00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:21.380
 is called

00:35:21.380 --> 00:35:22.119
 to literally

00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:23.099
 leave their boats

00:35:23.099 --> 00:35:23.920
 and their nets

00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:27.800
 God called

00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:28.500
 these men

00:35:28.500 --> 00:35:29.500
 in a very special

00:35:29.500 --> 00:35:29.860
 way

00:35:29.860 --> 00:35:30.940
 to play a special

00:35:30.940 --> 00:35:31.380
 role

00:35:31.380 --> 00:35:32.420
 they were his

00:35:32.420 --> 00:35:32.920
 disciples

00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:34.000
 who went with him

00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:35.699
 and through them

00:35:35.699 --> 00:35:36.619
 he then

00:35:36.619 --> 00:35:37.780
 shared

00:35:37.780 --> 00:35:38.739
 and spread

00:35:38.739 --> 00:35:39.559
 the ministry

00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:40.599
 that he was called

00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:40.920
 to

00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:42.579
 of proclaiming

00:35:42.579 --> 00:35:43.219
 the word

00:35:43.219 --> 00:35:44.920
 and bringing

00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:45.400
 the kingdom

00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:45.960
 of God

00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:46.900
 to this world

00:35:46.900 --> 00:35:48.019
 they were the

00:35:48.019 --> 00:35:48.800
 beginning of the

00:35:48.800 --> 00:35:49.199
 church

00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:49.880
 which was the

00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:50.880
 thing that he

00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:51.639
 was birthing

00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:53.000
 through his

00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:53.500
 ministry

00:35:53.500 --> 00:35:57.880
 and yes

00:35:57.880 --> 00:35:58.260
 he called

00:35:58.260 --> 00:35:58.659
 them to

00:35:58.659 --> 00:35:59.079
 leave their

00:35:59.079 --> 00:35:59.420
 nets

00:35:59.420 --> 00:35:59.920
 and their

00:35:59.920 --> 00:36:00.239
 fish

00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:00.920
 and everything

00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:01.500
 to follow

00:36:01.500 --> 00:36:01.820
 him

00:36:01.820 --> 00:36:06.860
 but practically

00:36:06.860 --> 00:36:07.579
 for us

00:36:07.579 --> 00:36:08.519
 some of you

00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:08.840
 are going to

00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:09.360
 be called

00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:10.880
 to leave

00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:11.320
 all the

00:36:11.320 --> 00:36:11.840
 security

00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:12.760
 all the

00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:13.280
 identity

00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:14.340
 all the

00:36:14.340 --> 00:36:14.840
 capital

00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:15.960
 and all

00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:16.659
 the expertise

00:36:16.659 --> 00:36:18.760
 that you

00:36:18.760 --> 00:36:19.400
 have in your

00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:19.840
 career

00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:20.960
 and to

00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:21.320
 abandon

00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:22.280
 all of those

00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:22.619
 things

00:36:22.619 --> 00:36:23.199
 to Jesus

00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:23.759
 hand

00:36:23.759 --> 00:36:24.639
 and then

00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:25.199
 to go back

00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:25.579
 and to do

00:36:25.579 --> 00:36:25.960
 the very

00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:26.599
 same thing

00:36:26.599 --> 00:36:29.099
 and I know

00:36:29.099 --> 00:36:29.799
 some of you

00:36:29.799 --> 00:36:32.779
 that's a

00:36:32.779 --> 00:36:33.339
 really hard

00:36:33.339 --> 00:36:33.779
 road to

00:36:33.779 --> 00:36:34.139
 walk

00:36:34.139 --> 00:36:36.079
 I don't

00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:36.400
 know if you

00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:36.839
 ever think

00:36:36.839 --> 00:36:37.179
 about it

00:36:37.179 --> 00:36:37.539
 but I

00:36:37.539 --> 00:36:38.099
 sit up here

00:36:38.099 --> 00:36:38.559
 sometimes

00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:38.779
 and I

00:36:38.779 --> 00:36:39.159
 think I

00:36:39.159 --> 00:36:39.500
 have the

00:36:39.500 --> 00:36:40.039
 easy life

00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:40.559
 I get to

00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:40.980
 do this

00:36:40.980 --> 00:36:41.639
 all day

00:36:41.639 --> 00:36:42.319
 every day

00:36:42.319 --> 00:36:43.519
 this is my

00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:44.059
 joy

00:36:44.059 --> 00:36:44.539
 that this

00:36:44.539 --> 00:36:44.880
 is my

00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:45.559
 vocation

00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:48.539
 some of

00:36:48.539 --> 00:36:49.019
 you have a

00:36:49.019 --> 00:36:49.559
 hard road

00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:50.019
 to walk

00:36:50.019 --> 00:36:50.279
 in what

00:36:50.279 --> 00:36:50.719
 you do

00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:52.239
 having to

00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:52.699
 live out

00:36:52.699 --> 00:36:53.039
 making

00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:53.439
 Jesus

00:36:53.439 --> 00:36:53.919
 the center

00:36:53.919 --> 00:36:54.219
 of your

00:36:54.219 --> 00:36:54.619
 life

00:36:54.619 --> 00:36:56.000
 as a

00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:56.439
 carpenter

00:36:56.439 --> 00:36:56.819

00:36:56.819 --> 00:36:57.179
 fisherman

00:36:57.179 --> 00:36:58.519
 as a

00:36:58.519 --> 00:36:59.239
 postdoc

00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:00.000
 or a

00:37:00.619 --> 00:37:01.819
 as a

00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:08.679
 a citizen

00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:09.139
 in this

00:37:09.139 --> 00:37:09.559
 world

00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:10.859
 whatever

00:37:10.859 --> 00:37:11.879
 you do

00:37:11.879 --> 00:37:13.239
 the call

00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:13.759
 here

00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:15.340
 is to

 reorient

00:37:16.020 --> 00:37:16.600
 your life

00:37:16.600 --> 00:37:16.960
 around

00:37:24.420 --> 00:37:25.380
 and yes

00:37:25.380 --> 00:37:25.920
 that does

00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:26.280
 mean

00:37:26.280 --> 00:37:26.960
 that in

00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:27.160
 your

00:37:27.160 --> 00:37:27.660
 workplace

00:37:27.660 --> 00:37:28.200
 you are

00:37:28.200 --> 00:37:28.440
 called

00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:28.960
 to carry

00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:29.280
 out

00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:29.860
 his

00:37:29.860 --> 00:37:30.440
 mission

00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:32.160
 which is

00:37:32.160 --> 00:37:32.600
 to love

00:37:32.600 --> 00:37:33.140
 people in

00:37:33.140 --> 00:37:33.660
 his name

00:37:33.660 --> 00:37:34.860

 proclaim

00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:35.700
 the good

00:37:35.700 --> 00:37:36.140
 news

00:37:36.140 --> 00:37:36.980
 that Jesus

00:37:36.980 --> 00:37:37.580
 has come

00:37:37.580 --> 00:37:38.500
 you are

00:37:38.500 --> 00:37:38.960
 called to

00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:39.340
 do that

00:37:39.340 --> 00:37:39.660
 wherever

00:37:40.760 --> 00:37:41.380

00:37:41.380 --> 00:37:44.720
 but he

00:37:44.720 --> 00:37:45.000
 doesn't

00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:45.380
 mean

00:37:45.380 --> 00:37:45.980
 that you

00:37:45.980 --> 00:37:46.280
 have to

00:37:46.280 --> 00:37:46.619
 leave your

00:37:48.460 --> 00:37:48.780

00:37:48.780 --> 00:37:50.260

00:37:50.260 --> 00:37:50.740
 does mean

00:37:50.740 --> 00:37:51.400
 reorient

00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:52.039
 your life

00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:53.200
 make me

00:37:53.200 --> 00:37:54.019

00:37:54.019 --> 00:37:55.220
 see who

00:37:55.220 --> 00:37:55.980
 I am

00:37:55.980 --> 00:37:56.760
 and this

00:37:56.760 --> 00:37:57.119
 is what I

00:37:57.119 --> 00:37:57.480
 want you

00:37:57.480 --> 00:37:57.840
 to see

00:37:57.840 --> 00:37:58.320
 friends

00:37:58.320 --> 00:37:59.180
 is that

00:37:59.180 --> 00:37:59.680
 this isn't

00:37:59.680 --> 00:38:00.280
 a command

00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:01.700
 try harder

00:38:01.700 --> 00:38:02.619
 try harder

00:38:02.619 --> 00:38:03.079
 to be a

00:38:03.079 --> 00:38:03.260
 better

00:38:03.260 --> 00:38:03.720
 Christian

00:38:03.720 --> 00:38:05.619
 be more

00:38:05.619 --> 00:38:06.059
 committed

00:38:06.059 --> 00:38:06.599
 to being

00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:06.900
 more

00:38:06.900 --> 00:38:07.300
 committed

00:38:07.300 --> 00:38:09.519
 no

00:38:09.519 --> 00:38:09.900
 that's

00:38:09.900 --> 00:38:10.440
 not it

00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:13.059
 because

00:38:13.059 --> 00:38:13.420
 you see

00:38:13.420 --> 00:38:13.760
 friends

00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:15.019

00:38:15.019 --> 00:38:15.300
 see

00:38:15.300 --> 00:38:16.119
 the very

00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:16.679
 dynamics

00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:17.099
 of the

00:38:17.099 --> 00:38:17.440
 gospel

00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:18.079
 itself

00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:19.179
 Jesus

00:38:19.179 --> 00:38:20.200
 reveals

00:38:20.200 --> 00:38:20.840
 himself

00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:21.519
 in his

00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:22.019
 glory

00:38:22.019 --> 00:38:23.340
 and friends

00:38:23.340 --> 00:38:23.740
 you know

00:38:23.740 --> 00:38:24.079
 that in

00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:24.519
 the gospel

00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:25.039
 of Luke

00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:26.139
 this section

00:38:26.139 --> 00:38:26.920
 chapter 4

00:38:26.920 --> 00:38:27.519
 through 9

00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:28.460
 is a

00:38:28.460 --> 00:38:28.840
 setup

00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:30.099
 it started

00:38:30.099 --> 00:38:30.619
 with this

00:38:30.619 --> 00:38:31.079
 quotation

00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:31.780
 from Isaiah

00:38:31.780 --> 00:38:32.460
 about Jesus

00:38:32.460 --> 00:38:33.059
 has come

00:38:33.059 --> 00:38:33.579
 and the

00:38:33.579 --> 00:38:33.820
 kingdom

00:38:33.820 --> 00:38:34.360
 has come

00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:35.340
 and then

00:38:35.340 --> 00:38:35.900
 there's a

00:38:35.900 --> 00:38:36.639
 display of

00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:36.980
 it in

00:38:36.980 --> 00:38:37.760
 chapters 4

00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:38.079
 through 9

00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:38.460
 this is

00:38:38.460 --> 00:38:38.740
 what it

00:38:38.740 --> 00:38:39.200
 looks like

00:38:39.200 --> 00:38:39.740
 Jesus

00:38:39.740 --> 00:38:40.260
 is Lord

00:38:40.260 --> 00:38:40.720
 over this

00:38:40.720 --> 00:38:41.060
 Jesus

00:38:41.060 --> 00:38:41.560
 is Lord

00:38:41.560 --> 00:38:41.980
 over that

00:38:41.980 --> 00:38:42.540
 Jesus

00:38:42.540 --> 00:38:43.160
 showing

00:38:43.160 --> 00:38:43.820
 the character

00:38:43.820 --> 00:38:44.380
 of God's

00:38:44.380 --> 00:38:44.660
 kingdom

00:38:44.660 --> 00:38:45.720
 where he's

00:38:45.720 --> 00:38:46.160
 setting the

00:38:46.160 --> 00:38:46.900
 captives free

00:38:46.900 --> 00:38:47.420
 and bringing

00:38:47.420 --> 00:38:48.540
 freedom to

00:38:48.540 --> 00:38:49.080
 those who are

00:38:49.080 --> 00:38:49.560
 oppressed

00:38:49.560 --> 00:38:50.280
 and bringing

00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:50.980
 sight to the

00:38:50.980 --> 00:38:51.400
 blind

00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:51.940
 and he does

00:38:51.940 --> 00:38:52.560
 all these

00:38:52.560 --> 00:38:52.980
 things

00:38:52.980 --> 00:38:53.720
 and then in

00:38:53.720 --> 00:38:54.440
 chapter 9

00:38:54.440 --> 00:38:55.080
 in Luke

00:38:55.080 --> 00:38:55.840
 Jesus

00:38:55.840 --> 00:38:56.820
 turns and he

00:38:56.820 --> 00:38:57.360
 sets his

00:38:57.360 --> 00:38:58.020
 face towards

00:38:58.020 --> 00:38:58.560
 Jerusalem

00:38:58.560 --> 00:38:59.600
 and as he

00:38:59.600 --> 00:39:00.340
 goes to

00:39:00.340 --> 00:39:00.920
 Jerusalem

00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:03.100
 he encounters

00:39:03.100 --> 00:39:04.000
 increasing

00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:04.740
 resistance

00:39:04.740 --> 00:39:06.460
 people hate

00:39:06.460 --> 00:39:06.840
 him

00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:07.800
 for his

00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:08.460
 message

00:39:08.460 --> 00:39:10.800
 and he

00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:11.559
 has resisted

00:39:11.559 --> 00:39:12.019
 more and

00:39:12.019 --> 00:39:12.360
 more

00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:13.300
 and Luke

00:39:13.300 --> 00:39:13.980
 structures

00:39:13.980 --> 00:39:14.539
 the whole

00:39:14.539 --> 00:39:15.220
 gospel to

00:39:15.220 --> 00:39:15.920
 lead us

00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:17.179
 to the

00:39:17.179 --> 00:39:17.880
 end chapters

00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:18.360
 where we

00:39:18.360 --> 00:39:18.960
 see Jesus

00:39:18.960 --> 00:39:19.360
 in the

00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:19.920
 fullness of

00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:20.500
 his glory

00:39:20.500 --> 00:39:22.240
 in the

00:39:22.240 --> 00:39:22.880
 greatest

00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:24.159
 expression

00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:25.619
 of his

00:39:25.619 --> 00:39:26.000
 sovereign

00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:26.500
 power

00:39:26.500 --> 00:39:26.840
 and his

00:39:26.840 --> 00:39:27.159
 love

00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:27.840
 for us

00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:32.240
 as he

00:39:32.240 --> 00:39:32.740
 lays down

00:39:32.740 --> 00:39:33.220
 his life

00:39:33.220 --> 00:39:33.860
 for us

00:39:33.860 --> 00:39:34.620
 as he

00:39:34.620 --> 00:39:35.019
 offers

00:39:35.019 --> 00:39:35.460
 himself

00:39:35.460 --> 00:39:35.840
 up

00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:35.980
 in

00:39:35.980 --> 00:39:36.260
 our

00:39:36.260 --> 00:39:36.780
 place

00:39:36.780 --> 00:39:37.519
 because

00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:37.800
 we

00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:38.120
 are

00:39:38.120 --> 00:39:38.579
 sinful

00:39:38.579 --> 00:39:38.940
 men

00:39:38.940 --> 00:39:39.079
 and

00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:39.380
 ought

00:39:39.380 --> 00:39:39.559
 to

00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:39.720
 be

00:39:39.720 --> 00:39:40.200
 destroyed

00:39:40.200 --> 00:39:40.440
 by

00:39:40.440 --> 00:39:40.780
 holy

00:39:40.780 --> 00:39:41.280
 God

00:39:41.280 --> 00:39:44.760
 yet

00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:45.000
 Jesus

00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:45.280
 says

00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:45.460
 no

00:39:45.460 --> 00:39:45.660
 I

00:39:45.660 --> 00:39:45.820
 will

00:39:45.820 --> 00:39:46.039
 take

00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:46.240
 that

00:39:46.240 --> 00:39:46.720
 place

00:39:46.720 --> 00:39:47.840
 and I

00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:48.039
 will

00:39:48.039 --> 00:39:48.380
 suffer

00:39:48.380 --> 00:39:48.620
 the

00:39:48.620 --> 00:39:49.160
 destruction

00:39:49.160 --> 00:39:49.440
 that

00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:49.660
 your

00:39:49.660 --> 00:39:50.019
 sins

00:39:50.019 --> 00:39:50.519
 deserve

00:39:50.519 --> 00:39:52.320
 and I

00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:52.519
 will

00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:52.840
 hang

00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:53.200
 on that

00:39:53.200 --> 00:39:53.680
 cross

00:39:53.680 --> 00:39:53.940
 in

00:39:53.940 --> 00:39:54.200
 your

00:39:54.200 --> 00:39:54.800
 place

00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:57.019
 because

00:39:57.019 --> 00:39:57.360
 I

00:39:57.360 --> 00:39:57.660
 love

00:39:57.660 --> 00:39:57.960
 you

00:39:57.960 --> 00:39:58.780
 and

00:39:58.780 --> 00:39:59.000
 because

00:39:59.000 --> 00:39:59.160
 I

00:39:59.160 --> 00:39:59.300
 have

00:39:59.300 --> 00:39:59.660
 come

00:39:59.660 --> 00:39:59.900
 to

00:39:59.900 --> 00:40:00.380
 redeem

00:40:00.380 --> 00:40:00.860
 you

00:40:00.860 --> 00:40:02.079
 to

00:40:02.079 --> 00:40:02.400
 make

00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:02.539
 you

00:40:02.539 --> 00:40:02.760
 my

00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:03.240
 own

00:40:03.240 --> 00:40:06.000
 and

00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:06.120
 he

00:40:06.120 --> 00:40:06.579
 died

00:40:06.579 --> 00:40:07.079
 and

00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:07.220
 he

00:40:07.220 --> 00:40:07.579
 rose

00:40:07.579 --> 00:40:07.940
 again

00:40:07.940 --> 00:40:08.160
 to

00:40:08.160 --> 00:40:08.480
 show

00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:08.720
 his

00:40:08.720 --> 00:40:09.140
 power

00:40:09.140 --> 00:40:09.579
 even

00:40:09.579 --> 00:40:09.980
 over

00:40:09.980 --> 00:40:10.440
 sin

00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:11.000
 and

00:40:11.000 --> 00:40:11.440
 death

00:40:11.440 --> 00:40:12.500
 to

00:40:12.500 --> 00:40:12.800
 show

00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:13.079
 that

00:40:13.079 --> 00:40:13.519
 his

00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:14.059
 redemption

00:40:14.059 --> 00:40:14.360
 is

00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:14.860
 real

00:40:14.860 --> 00:40:15.079
 and

00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:15.380
 one

00:40:15.380 --> 00:40:15.539
 day

00:40:15.539 --> 00:40:15.740
 will

00:40:15.740 --> 00:40:15.940
 be

00:40:15.940 --> 00:40:16.700
 complete

00:40:16.700 --> 00:40:18.300
 as

00:40:18.300 --> 00:40:18.440
 he

00:40:18.440 --> 00:40:18.740
 lives

00:40:18.740 --> 00:40:18.880
 it

00:40:18.880 --> 00:40:19.180
 out

00:40:19.180 --> 00:40:20.280
 as

00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:20.420
 he

00:40:20.420 --> 00:40:20.740
 comes

00:40:20.740 --> 00:40:21.099
 one

00:40:21.099 --> 00:40:21.280
 day

00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:21.500
 to

00:40:21.500 --> 00:40:22.000
 return

00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:22.640
 to

00:40:22.640 --> 00:40:22.880
 make

00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:23.000
 it

00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:23.220
 all

00:40:23.220 --> 00:40:23.559
 right

00:40:23.559 --> 00:40:28.160
 friends

00:40:28.160 --> 00:40:28.340
 when

00:40:28.340 --> 00:40:28.539
 we

00:40:28.539 --> 00:40:28.860
 see

00:40:28.860 --> 00:40:29.220
 this

00:40:29.220 --> 00:40:29.720
 Jesus

00:40:29.719 --> 00:40:30.539
 when

00:40:30.539 --> 00:40:30.919
 this

00:40:30.919 --> 00:40:31.319
 Jesus

00:40:31.319 --> 00:40:31.599
 is

00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:32.119
 unveiled

00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:32.599
 before

00:40:32.599 --> 00:40:32.879
 our

00:40:32.879 --> 00:40:33.399
 eyes

00:40:33.399 --> 00:40:35.239
 we

00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:35.399
 are

00:40:35.399 --> 00:40:35.659
 able

00:40:35.659 --> 00:40:36.199
 both

00:40:36.199 --> 00:40:37.219
 like

00:40:37.219 --> 00:40:37.659
 Peter

00:40:37.659 --> 00:40:38.039
 to

00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:38.359
 fall

00:40:38.359 --> 00:40:38.500
 at

00:40:38.500 --> 00:40:38.659
 his

00:40:38.659 --> 00:40:38.919
 knees

00:40:38.919 --> 00:40:39.139
 and

00:40:39.139 --> 00:40:39.399
 say

00:40:39.399 --> 00:40:40.899
 woe

00:40:40.899 --> 00:40:41.159
 is

 me

00:40:41.399 --> 00:40:41.659
 I

00:40:41.659 --> 00:40:41.859
 am

00:40:41.859 --> 00:40:42.599
 undone

00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:43.059
 before

00:40:43.059 --> 00:40:43.539
 you

00:40:43.539 --> 00:40:44.099
 and

00:40:44.099 --> 00:40:44.399
 yet

00:40:44.399 --> 00:40:44.599
 we

00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:44.739
 are

00:40:44.739 --> 00:40:45.000
 able

00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:45.299
 then

00:40:45.299 --> 00:40:45.539
 to

00:40:45.539 --> 00:40:46.039
 rise

 gracious

00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:47.199
 call

00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:47.779
 and

00:40:48.959 --> 00:40:49.319
 you

00:40:49.319 --> 00:40:51.959

00:40:51.959 --> 00:40:52.059
 I

00:40:52.059 --> 00:40:52.199
 will

00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:52.419
 leave

00:40:52.419 --> 00:40:52.939
 everything

00:40:52.939 --> 00:40:55.359
 because

00:40:55.359 --> 00:40:55.599
 I've

00:40:55.599 --> 00:40:55.739
 seen

 you

00:40:56.399 --> 00:40:56.719
 are

00:40:56.719 --> 00:40:58.319
 why

00:40:58.319 --> 00:40:58.480
 would

00:40:58.480 --> 00:40:58.599
 I

00:40:58.599 --> 00:40:58.759
 want

00:40:58.759 --> 00:40:58.899
 to

00:40:58.900 --> 00:40:59.180
 follow

00:40:59.180 --> 00:40:59.639
 anything

00:40:59.639 --> 00:41:00.180
 else

00:41:00.180 --> 00:41:00.900
 why

00:41:00.900 --> 00:41:01.119
 would

00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:01.240
 I

00:41:01.240 --> 00:41:01.480
 want

00:41:01.480 --> 00:41:01.639
 to

00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:01.920
 spend

00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:02.200
 my

00:41:02.200 --> 00:41:02.539
 life

00:41:02.539 --> 00:41:03.320
 glorifying

00:41:03.320 --> 00:41:03.840
 anything

00:41:03.840 --> 00:41:04.300
 else

00:41:04.300 --> 00:41:05.079
 other than

00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:05.519
 the thing

00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:06.059
 that you

00:41:06.059 --> 00:41:06.420
 are

00:41:06.420 --> 00:41:06.700
 because

00:41:06.700 --> 00:41:06.960
 you

00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:07.099
 are

00:41:07.099 --> 00:41:07.280
 the

00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:07.700
 best

00:41:07.700 --> 00:41:08.139
 and

00:41:08.139 --> 00:41:08.280
 the

00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:08.660
 greatest

00:41:08.660 --> 00:41:08.980

00:41:16.519 --> 00:41:17.000
 friends

00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:19.200
 it's

00:41:19.200 --> 00:41:19.660
 not about

00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:25.220
 but

00:41:25.220 --> 00:41:25.420
 it's

00:41:25.420 --> 00:41:25.700
 about

00:41:25.700 --> 00:41:25.980
 us

00:41:25.980 --> 00:41:26.300
 seeing
