00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.880
 If you would open up your Bibles to John chapter 13, it's page 1070 of your pew Bible.

00:00:11.980 --> 00:00:14.339
 And while you're turning there, I have a question for you.

00:00:15.820 --> 00:00:17.199
 What do you want to be known for?

00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:19.280
 You personally, what do you want to be known for?

00:00:20.900 --> 00:00:29.140
 Maybe you want to be known for being hardworking, being kind, being reasonable, being fair.

00:00:30.899 --> 00:00:38.920
 Maybe you want to be known for being athletic or being funny or being a sharp, snappy dresser.

00:00:40.899 --> 00:00:44.579
 Maybe you're sitting there saying, I want to be known for Jesus.

00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:45.299
 Do I have an amen?

00:00:45.299 --> 00:00:45.439
 Amen.

00:00:46.899 --> 00:00:48.320
 The question is how?

00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.939
 How will you be known for Jesus?

00:00:52.939 --> 00:01:01.320
 Jesus, Christ the King Church, what do we want to be known for?

00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:11.439
 Better yet, in light of the new commandment that we're going to read this morning, Jesus says,

00:01:12.180 --> 00:01:15.519
 just as I have loved you, you love one another.

00:01:16.180 --> 00:01:20.939
 In light of that, what must we be known for?

00:01:20.939 --> 00:01:26.319
 We must be known for our namesake, Jesus.

00:01:26.759 --> 00:01:26.959
 Amen?

00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:29.679
 But how?

00:01:31.679 --> 00:01:33.980
 How are we to be known for Jesus?

00:01:33.980 --> 00:01:38.219
 Well, in a word, it's the word love.

00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:47.280
 We identify ourselves as being followers of Jesus Christ by the way we love one another.

00:01:47.780 --> 00:01:53.600
 Our love for one another should set us apart from everyone else.

00:01:53.800 --> 00:01:56.740
 Our love for one another is an otherworldly love.

00:01:56.739 --> 00:02:01.199
 But the contrary is also true.

00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:08.479
 If we don't love one another just as Jesus has loved us, we're just going to blend in with the rest of the world.

00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:09.979
 And it's going to be confusing.

00:02:11.299 --> 00:02:14.740
 Because the world will conclude, you're just like everybody else.

00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:17.079
 What makes any difference?

00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:18.859
 Why bother with Jesus?

00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:25.599
 Two weeks ago, we saw Jesus give an object lesson on servanthood.

00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:28.239
 He washed his disciples' feet.

00:02:29.079 --> 00:02:29.799
 And he said to them,

00:02:29.979 --> 00:02:36.299
 If I then, your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

00:02:36.359 --> 00:02:40.659
 So he starts with himself and he gives his disciples an example.

00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.419
 Well, today in a similar way, Jesus commands us to love one another.

00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:44.939
 He says,

00:02:44.939 --> 00:02:53.039
 Just as I have loved you, you are to love one another.

00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:00.359
 This is part of a bigger passage in John 13 through 17 called the Farewell Discourse.

00:03:01.500 --> 00:03:09.000
 And so this command to love one another is just, he gave it just hours away from his own death.

00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:15.000
 And so this morning, I am going to be surgical.

00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:18.819
 We've got a big passage in one sense.

00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:21.599
 It's chapter, oop, I'm in 1 Corinthians.

00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:26.120
 13, 21 through 38.

00:03:26.219 --> 00:03:29.199
 But I'm going to really focus on verses 34 and 35.

00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:37.419
 And what I want you to see are four distinctions of this love with which we are to love one another.

00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:38.180
 And here they are.

00:03:39.060 --> 00:03:40.900
 This love is a required love.

00:03:42.180 --> 00:03:44.120
 This love is a new kind of love.

00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:47.539
 This love is a Christ-like love.

00:03:48.099 --> 00:03:53.140
 And this love with which we are to love one another is an identifying love.

00:03:55.300 --> 00:03:59.159
 So let me just read verses 34 and 35.

00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.099
 These are Jesus' words to us.

00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.300
 A new commandment I give to you, Christ the King Church, that you love one another.

00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.920
 Just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:18.139
 By this, all people will know that you are my disciples if you have love for one another.

00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:24.259
 So let's look at this first distinction, a required love.

00:04:26.659 --> 00:04:29.919
 Loving one another is a command.

00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:36.099
 It's required of all who belong to Jesus Christ.

00:04:36.099 --> 00:04:39.300
 We are to love one another.

00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.160
 And that may sound strange in your ears.

00:04:43.580 --> 00:04:47.580
 Because we often think of love as an emotion or a feeling.

00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:50.160
 Anybody familiar with the lady Tina Turner?

00:04:51.420 --> 00:04:52.759
 What's love got to do with it?

00:04:53.780 --> 00:04:56.680
 What's love but a second-hand emotion?

00:04:59.980 --> 00:05:07.920
 Well, this command that Jesus is commanding us is not commanding us to feel a certain way.

00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:17.220
 This is a command to love one another, which means each of us are responsible to love one another.

00:05:19.220 --> 00:05:24.280
 It's better thought of love as a commitment.

00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:28.080
 A commitment to one another.

00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:34.740
 And that's how we must define this kind of biblical love.

00:05:34.740 --> 00:05:36.659
 Now, God is love.

00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:38.079
 That's His very nature.

00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:43.000
 It's not that He is in a constant state of feeling loving.

00:05:43.379 --> 00:05:44.799
 He is love.

00:05:45.799 --> 00:05:46.919
 He commits.

00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:54.240
 You know, one of the things that I get to do on a regular basis is to marry people.

00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.600
 And we got a marriage of a couple coming up in the next couple weeks.

00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.280
 And one of my favorite things is to walk them through their vows.

00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:09.439
 And so let me just give you a little section of the vows that I will lead this couple through.

00:06:10.719 --> 00:06:16.039
 I, groom, take you, bride, to be my wedded wife.

00:06:17.139 --> 00:06:21.559
 To have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse.

00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:23.139
 It's called a commitment.

00:06:24.739 --> 00:06:26.139
 For richer, for poorer.

00:06:26.139 --> 00:06:28.060
 For poorer, commitment.

00:06:29.180 --> 00:06:30.979
 In sickness and in health.

00:06:32.159 --> 00:06:35.339
 Commitment to love and to cherish till death do us part.

00:06:35.719 --> 00:06:37.719
 That is a lifelong commitment.

00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:40.339
 According to God's holy ordinance.

00:06:40.500 --> 00:06:41.939
 And thereto I pledge you my faith.

00:06:45.339 --> 00:06:48.579
 These vows of a marriage ceremony.

00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:54.039
 Which, it explains the kind of commitment a husband is making to a wife.

00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:54.979
 And a wife to a husband.

00:06:54.980 --> 00:06:57.379
 They capture what love is.

00:06:58.280 --> 00:07:03.460
 Love is at its core a commitment.

00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:11.720
 So what we need to be clear on moving into this passage on the new commandment is what love is.

00:07:11.900 --> 00:07:16.379
 Jesus is calling us to commit to one another in a certain kind of way.

00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:21.819
 So the new commandment is a new commitment.

00:07:21.819 --> 00:07:24.540
 What kind of commitment Christians make to one another.

00:07:24.899 --> 00:07:28.379
 And it raises the question that distinction number two answers.

00:07:29.420 --> 00:07:31.480
 What kind of commitment are we talking about?

00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:39.520
 In the passage we read, a new commandment I give to you.

00:07:40.300 --> 00:07:41.660
 That you love one another.

00:07:45.620 --> 00:07:49.160
 What's so new about loving one another?

00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:54.000
 If you're familiar with your Bibles in Leviticus 19.18.

00:07:54.220 --> 00:07:59.900
 Moses commands Israel to love your neighbor as yourself.

00:08:00.900 --> 00:08:05.180
 So in one sense, the command to love is not new.

00:08:05.740 --> 00:08:06.580
 It's old.

00:08:06.579 --> 00:08:12.459
 So what's new about this new commandment here?

00:08:13.579 --> 00:08:15.240
 Well, there's a number of things that are new.

00:08:15.300 --> 00:08:19.279
 The first one is we have a new person giving the commandment.

00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:25.060
 Moses gave the command to love your neighbor as yourself.

00:08:25.060 --> 00:08:29.480
 But someone greater than Moses is speaking this commandment.

00:08:30.500 --> 00:08:30.899
 Jesus.

00:08:31.899 --> 00:08:34.220
 And if you were to go back to John chapter 5.

00:08:35.139 --> 00:08:40.100
 Jesus says some very interesting things about his relationship to Moses.

00:08:40.259 --> 00:08:42.519
 In fact, he, Jesus himself said,

00:08:43.059 --> 00:08:45.779
 Did you know that Moses, he wrote about me?

00:08:45.779 --> 00:08:51.819
 You see, Moses was a sinner just like us.

00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:57.779
 Who needed the forgiveness that comes only through the death of Jesus.

00:08:59.199 --> 00:09:04.579
 What makes the new commandment new is who's giving it.

00:09:05.339 --> 00:09:06.379
 God incarnate.

00:09:07.699 --> 00:09:10.139
 The king of the kingdom of life.

00:09:10.620 --> 00:09:13.279
 The greatest lover of all.

00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:19.720
 So the first aspect, the first kind of dimension of this new kind of love

00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:23.360
 is the one giving the command, Jesus.

00:09:24.059 --> 00:09:29.980
 The second is that this love has a new goal.

00:09:31.059 --> 00:09:31.919
 A new aim.

00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:33.139
 A new end.

00:09:33.659 --> 00:09:36.759
 It's a new kind of commitment with a new aim.

00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:37.459
 New goal.

00:09:38.379 --> 00:09:40.220
 Now, before we became Christians,

00:09:40.220 --> 00:09:48.500
 we exercised more or less a self-serving kind of love.

00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:52.560
 It was somewhat contractual.

00:09:53.779 --> 00:09:55.460
 I love you if you love me.

00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:58.560
 I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine.

00:10:00.740 --> 00:10:03.440
 Our commitment to others was more often about

00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:06.460
 what we could get out of a relationship.

00:10:10.460 --> 00:10:11.260
 But Jesus,

00:10:11.880 --> 00:10:16.920
 when we see who he is and we believe in who he is,

00:10:17.180 --> 00:10:23.300
 what happens to a Christian is that Jesus radically reorients our loves.

00:10:23.299 --> 00:10:26.859
 We no longer live for ourselves,

00:10:27.339 --> 00:10:31.039
 but for him who for our sake died and was raised,

00:10:31.359 --> 00:10:36.919
 which means we love one another unto Christ.

00:10:37.740 --> 00:10:38.899
 A new aim.

00:10:39.819 --> 00:10:40.659
 A new goal.

00:10:41.659 --> 00:10:45.199
 Our commitment to one another isn't just for someone else's good.

00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.460
 We are loving someone to Jesus.

00:10:49.620 --> 00:10:51.140
 Their greatest good.

00:10:52.040 --> 00:10:54.020
 So the best thing I can do for you,

00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:55.200
 Christ the King Church,

00:10:55.540 --> 00:10:56.960
 is love you to Christ.

00:10:57.280 --> 00:10:59.500
 And the best thing that you can do for me

00:10:59.500 --> 00:11:01.879
 is to love me to Christ.

00:11:02.140 --> 00:11:02.759
 In other words,

00:11:02.980 --> 00:11:04.420
 the best thing that we can do together

00:11:04.420 --> 00:11:07.320
 is to treasure Jesus above all else together.

00:11:07.780 --> 00:11:09.520
 The best thing that we can do together

00:11:09.520 --> 00:11:12.020
 is to functionally make Jesus

00:11:12.020 --> 00:11:14.220
 the controlling center of our lives.

00:11:14.220 --> 00:11:15.940
 our one consuming passion,

00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:17.519
 our all governing reality.

00:11:18.620 --> 00:11:22.300
 And when Jesus is functioning that way in our lives

00:11:22.300 --> 00:11:25.180
 because he is that wonderful,

00:11:26.420 --> 00:11:27.920
 all of a sudden,

00:11:28.899 --> 00:11:30.700
 lives change.

00:11:33.100 --> 00:11:35.040
 There's a new kind of love in town.

00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:40.860
 We're not loving others for ourselves.

00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.519
 We're not even loving others for them.

00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.000
 We're loving them unto Christ.

00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:52.539
 So this new commandment has a new goal.

00:11:54.299 --> 00:11:54.740
 Jesus.

00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:57.500
 Treasuring Jesus is the goal.

00:11:57.500 --> 00:12:04.720
 When you have a bunch of people

00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:09.179
 who are making Jesus

00:12:09.179 --> 00:12:11.879
 the functional center of their lives,

00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.379
 both personally and corporately,

00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:15.259
 what I mean by that,

00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:16.279
 as a people,

00:12:16.379 --> 00:12:17.100
 as a church,

00:12:18.100 --> 00:12:21.820
 when Jesus is the controlling center of our lives,

00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:22.840
 the treasure center,

00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:23.740
 you know what you got?

00:12:23.740 --> 00:12:26.240
 You got a church.

00:12:29.899 --> 00:12:30.980
 This new commitment,

00:12:31.180 --> 00:12:34.120
 the third kind of aspect

00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:35.779
 is that this new commitment

00:12:35.779 --> 00:12:37.259
 is to a new people.

00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:41.720
 One of the things about our church

00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:44.100
 that I delight in

00:12:44.100 --> 00:12:47.120
 is our growing diversity as a church.

00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:51.019
 We have a variety of cultures represented,

00:12:51.179 --> 00:12:52.460
 a variety of ethnicities,

00:12:52.860 --> 00:12:55.060
 a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds,

00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:57.399
 and as we know,

00:12:58.039 --> 00:12:59.179
 with diversity

00:12:59.179 --> 00:13:02.340
 comes different experiences,

00:13:03.100 --> 00:13:03.720
 perspectives,

00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:06.159
 and preferences.

00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:09.559
 And with that comes some challenges.

00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:14.659
 But that's life together.

00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:19.319
 And when Jesus is the goal

00:13:19.319 --> 00:13:20.779
 of loving one another,

00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:24.240
 you quickly kind of lay down your preferences.

00:13:25.779 --> 00:13:28.839
 You quickly kind of hold more loosely

00:13:28.839 --> 00:13:31.220
 the things that you value

00:13:31.220 --> 00:13:33.919
 out of love for Jesus

00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:35.740
 and out of loving people to Jesus.

00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:42.059
 I like to think about it this way.

00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:48.079
 I've been a pastor at a larger church,

00:13:48.699 --> 00:13:51.459
 and that church,

00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:52.419
 whom I love deeply,

00:13:52.659 --> 00:13:55.459
 was by and large kind of a monoculture.

00:13:56.939 --> 00:13:59.480
 And they were seeking to bring glory to Jesus.

00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.220
 There are a lot of different churches out there

00:14:03.220 --> 00:14:04.939
 that are primarily one culture,

00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:05.879
 one ethnicity.

00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:08.339
 And they are seeking to glorify God.

00:14:08.379 --> 00:14:09.100
 And that's great.

00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:12.679
 So don't hear me as saying something other than that.

00:14:14.019 --> 00:14:15.919
 But here's why I'm interested

00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:17.699
 in being a pastor of Christ the King Church.

00:14:18.259 --> 00:14:19.500
 One of the many reasons.

00:14:19.500 --> 00:14:21.620
 I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ

00:14:21.620 --> 00:14:25.620
 I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ

00:14:25.620 --> 00:14:28.740
 gets a greater glory

00:14:28.740 --> 00:14:33.299
 when there is a diverse group of people

00:14:33.299 --> 00:14:37.379
 coming together to worship Jesus.

00:14:37.379 --> 00:14:39.379
 It makes no sense.

00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:41.379
 It makes no sense

00:14:41.379 --> 00:14:43.799
 from a worldly perspective.

00:14:45.139 --> 00:14:47.240
 Why would these white people

00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:48.220
 and these black people

00:14:48.220 --> 00:14:49.200
 and these brown people

00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:49.980
 come together?

00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:53.820
 Because of Jesus.

00:14:56.500 --> 00:14:57.820
 We're a new people

00:14:57.820 --> 00:15:00.139
 with new values,

00:15:01.019 --> 00:15:02.220
 a new aim,

00:15:02.220 --> 00:15:03.700
 a new king.

00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:06.019
 And we know that

00:15:06.019 --> 00:15:08.560
 Jesus is at work right now

00:15:08.560 --> 00:15:09.940
 bringing a people

00:15:09.940 --> 00:15:11.259
 all around the world

00:15:11.259 --> 00:15:12.920
 from every tribe, tongue, and nation

00:15:12.920 --> 00:15:13.700
 together

00:15:13.700 --> 00:15:16.220
 under his name.

00:15:16.220 --> 00:15:19.500
 And so one of the things

00:15:19.500 --> 00:15:21.540
 I love about our church

00:15:21.540 --> 00:15:25.060
 is that we get to practice

00:15:25.060 --> 00:15:26.480
 loving one another

00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:29.879
 with people from different backgrounds

00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:31.440
 unto Jesus.

00:15:32.580 --> 00:15:33.720
 We're a new people.

00:15:35.340 --> 00:15:37.240
 And so this new commandment

00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:38.460
 is to us,

00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:40.860
 the new people of God.

00:15:40.860 --> 00:15:43.440
 which brings me now

00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:46.419
 to kind of the last aspect

00:15:46.419 --> 00:15:50.899
 of this new kind of love.

00:15:51.180 --> 00:15:52.720
 And often it's

00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:54.279
 a new to you kind of love.

00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:57.340
 Here's the last aspect.

00:15:57.759 --> 00:15:59.379
 And I'm guessing you're feeling this.

00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:02.399
 I can't do that.

00:16:04.620 --> 00:16:05.960
 I don't love like that.

00:16:08.019 --> 00:16:09.560
 I don't want to be around other people

00:16:09.560 --> 00:16:10.220
 not like me.

00:16:11.620 --> 00:16:13.019
 I like to avoid people.

00:16:14.700 --> 00:16:16.139
 I don't like talking to people.

00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:20.519
 You want me to do what?

00:16:22.899 --> 00:16:25.019
 You see, this new commitment

00:16:25.019 --> 00:16:28.399
 also has a new power.

00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:31.399
 What we're talking about here

00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:32.159
 is the new covenant.

00:16:33.220 --> 00:16:34.680
 God's new way of relating

00:16:34.680 --> 00:16:35.840
 to a new people

00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:37.720
 under a new promise

00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:39.279
 established through the blood of Jesus

00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:40.779
 and with the new covenant,

00:16:40.860 --> 00:16:42.919
 we know it from like Ezekiel 36

00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:44.399
 and then it shows up

00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:45.139
 pronounced way

00:16:45.139 --> 00:16:46.320
 in Acts chapter 2

00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:48.240
 that the Holy Spirit of God,

00:16:48.300 --> 00:16:49.480
 the third person of the Trinity

00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:51.300
 who Jesus will teach us about

00:16:51.300 --> 00:16:53.180
 later in the farewell discourse,

00:16:53.700 --> 00:16:55.720
 he comes in and dwells

00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:56.860
 each of us

00:16:56.860 --> 00:16:58.139
 to empower us

00:16:58.139 --> 00:17:00.680
 to live for Christ

00:17:00.680 --> 00:17:01.779
 as the controlling center

00:17:01.779 --> 00:17:02.580
 of our lives.

00:17:02.580 --> 00:17:04.620
 and you know what

00:17:04.620 --> 00:17:05.559
 he's going to do?

00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:08.779
 He's going to empower you

00:17:08.779 --> 00:17:09.500
 to love

00:17:09.500 --> 00:17:10.880
 one another

00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:12.000
 in a way that you have

00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:13.519
 never loved anybody before.

00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:16.879
 the first fruit

00:17:16.879 --> 00:17:18.440
 of the fruit of the Spirit

00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:20.019
 in Galatians 5.22.

00:17:20.660 --> 00:17:21.559
 The fruit of the Spirit

00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:23.579
 is love,

00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:25.180
 joy,

00:17:25.900 --> 00:17:26.319
 peace,

00:17:26.579 --> 00:17:26.980
 patience,

00:17:27.139 --> 00:17:27.400
 kindness,

00:17:27.660 --> 00:17:27.879
 goodness,

00:17:28.099 --> 00:17:28.500
 gentleness,

00:17:29.139 --> 00:17:29.579
 faithfulness,

00:17:29.639 --> 00:17:30.339
 and self-control.

00:17:30.339 --> 00:17:33.019
 These are all fruit

00:17:33.019 --> 00:17:33.559
 of the Spirit

00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:34.259
 that has to do

00:17:34.259 --> 00:17:34.899
 with relating

00:17:34.899 --> 00:17:35.799
 to one another

00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:37.179
 and it starts

00:17:37.179 --> 00:17:39.000
 with love.

00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:42.480
 The Spirit of God

00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:45.279
 is seeking to empower us,

00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:46.419
 Christ the King Church,

00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:48.179
 because we don't have it

00:17:48.179 --> 00:17:48.619
 in ourselves.

00:17:49.679 --> 00:17:51.339
 He's seeking to empower us

00:17:51.919 --> 00:17:53.339
 to love people

00:17:53.879 --> 00:17:54.879
 like us

00:17:54.879 --> 00:17:56.159
 and unlike us

00:17:56.159 --> 00:17:57.059
 to Christ.

00:17:57.059 --> 00:17:57.220
 Christ,

00:17:57.779 --> 00:17:59.500
 that's high calling.

00:18:01.299 --> 00:18:02.039
 That's worth

00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:02.960
 giving your life to.

00:18:04.419 --> 00:18:05.179
 That's worth

00:18:05.179 --> 00:18:05.779
 saying,

00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:06.339
 yes,

00:18:06.679 --> 00:18:06.940
 Lord.

00:18:08.259 --> 00:18:08.899
 Do you know

00:18:08.899 --> 00:18:10.079
 what it means

00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:11.720
 to not love others

00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:12.019
 then?

00:18:13.220 --> 00:18:14.179
 If the Holy Spirit

00:18:14.179 --> 00:18:14.679
 is seeking

00:18:14.679 --> 00:18:15.579
 to bring this

00:18:15.579 --> 00:18:16.899
 about in us,

00:18:17.539 --> 00:18:19.519
 then to not love us

00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:21.019
 is to grieve

00:18:21.019 --> 00:18:21.899
 the Holy Spirit.

00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:25.159
 More on that later.

00:18:27.059 --> 00:18:29.099
 This new kind of love

00:18:29.099 --> 00:18:30.299
 is a new to us love

00:18:30.299 --> 00:18:31.139
 because it comes

00:18:31.139 --> 00:18:31.799
 with becoming

00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:32.480
 Christians

00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:35.240
 and this new commitment

00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:38.779
 is from a new person,

00:18:38.940 --> 00:18:39.179
 Jesus,

00:18:39.379 --> 00:18:39.980
 a new goal,

00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:40.359
 Jesus,

00:18:40.539 --> 00:18:41.139
 a new people,

00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:42.079
 the Jesus people,

00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:43.379
 a new power

00:18:43.379 --> 00:18:44.659
 that Jesus gives,

00:18:44.819 --> 00:18:45.599
 the Holy Spirit,

00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:47.740
 which brings us now

00:18:47.740 --> 00:18:48.779
 to the third distinction.

00:18:50.460 --> 00:18:51.139
 You could call it

00:18:51.139 --> 00:18:51.940
 a new precedent,

00:18:53.399 --> 00:18:54.759
 Christ-like love.

00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:56.799
 We need the Spirit

00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:57.839
 to love like this.

00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:00.180
 It's a new precedent.

00:19:00.539 --> 00:19:02.000
 In Leviticus 19,

00:19:02.220 --> 00:19:03.180
 Moses tells us

00:19:03.180 --> 00:19:04.940
 to love your neighbor

00:19:04.940 --> 00:19:06.160
 as yourself.

00:19:06.819 --> 00:19:07.339
 Here,

00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:08.660
 Jesus is saying,

00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:10.859
 just as I have loved you,

00:19:11.700 --> 00:19:12.559
 love one another.

00:19:12.740 --> 00:19:13.799
 We've got a new precedent.

00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:17.539
 The Jesus kind of love.

00:19:17.539 --> 00:19:22.359
 How has Jesus

00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:23.420
 loved his disciples?

00:19:26.299 --> 00:19:27.500
 Earlier in this chapter,

00:19:27.659 --> 00:19:28.319
 we saw Jesus

00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:29.180
 love his disciples

00:19:29.180 --> 00:19:30.339
 by washing their feet.

00:19:30.740 --> 00:19:31.240
 In love,

00:19:31.299 --> 00:19:31.879
 he considered

00:19:31.879 --> 00:19:32.819
 his disciples

00:19:32.819 --> 00:19:33.599
 more important

00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:34.299
 than himself.

00:19:34.659 --> 00:19:35.420
 It's the way

00:19:35.420 --> 00:19:36.039
 of humility.

00:19:36.259 --> 00:19:37.019
 You can't love

00:19:37.019 --> 00:19:38.480
 someone like Jesus loves

00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:39.740
 without humbling yourself.

00:19:40.619 --> 00:19:41.440
 So this humility

00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:42.180
 is essential

00:19:42.180 --> 00:19:43.480
 to the new commandment,

00:19:43.619 --> 00:19:44.500
 loving one another.

00:19:44.899 --> 00:19:46.420
 To say it crassly,

00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:47.460
 it's to say it like this.

00:19:48.539 --> 00:19:49.599
 Christ-like love

00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:50.960
 is not a me-first love.

00:19:52.259 --> 00:19:53.200
 Christ-like love

00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:54.299
 is a you-first love.

00:19:55.259 --> 00:19:56.200
 It's a commitment.

00:19:57.399 --> 00:19:59.220
 So you cannot insist

00:19:59.220 --> 00:20:00.480
 on your own way

00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:02.180
 and be loving

00:20:02.180 --> 00:20:04.000
 like Jesus loves.

00:20:05.139 --> 00:20:06.279
 But there's an even

00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:07.759
 greater demonstration

00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:08.960
 of Jesus' love.

00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:10.859
 And we all know

00:20:10.859 --> 00:20:11.519
 what that is,

00:20:11.619 --> 00:20:13.240
 and it's his death

00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:13.839
 on the cross.

00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:17.039
 his self-sacrifice,

00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:19.599
 his giving of himself

00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:21.359
 so that we could be

00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:22.240
 forgiven of our sins

00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:23.079
 and that we could be

00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:24.259
 granted eternal life

00:20:24.259 --> 00:20:26.019
 and that we can experience

00:20:26.019 --> 00:20:26.740
 a relationship

00:20:26.740 --> 00:20:27.639
 with the living God

00:20:27.639 --> 00:20:29.339
 that we never knew

00:20:29.339 --> 00:20:29.939
 we could.

00:20:31.939 --> 00:20:34.099
 So this death

00:20:34.099 --> 00:20:34.980
 of Jesus

00:20:34.980 --> 00:20:37.079
 is the way

00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:37.839
 that we are

00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:39.240
 to love one another.

00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:40.539
 We are to sacrifice

00:20:40.539 --> 00:20:42.240
 ourselves

00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:44.099
 for the good

00:20:44.099 --> 00:20:45.059
 of others.

00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:45.519
 And remember,

00:20:45.660 --> 00:20:46.680
 that good of others

00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:48.339
 is Jesus' joy.

00:20:49.140 --> 00:20:50.519
 It's treasuring Jesus.

00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:53.639
 It's a new precedent.

00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:56.160
 This is a Jesus

00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:58.019
 kind of love

00:20:58.019 --> 00:21:00.160
 and he is requiring

00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:01.639
 it of us.

00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:03.240
 It's not optional.

00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:09.720
 There's an example

00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:12.359
 in Ephesians chapter 5.

00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:17.019
 It's this new commandment,

00:21:17.139 --> 00:21:18.279
 Christ-like love

00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:20.680
 applied to marriage.

00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:23.000
 Specifically,

00:21:23.299 --> 00:21:23.879
 it's applied

00:21:23.879 --> 00:21:25.539
 to husbands

00:21:25.539 --> 00:21:27.740
 and how they are

00:21:27.740 --> 00:21:29.099
 to love their wives.

00:21:30.460 --> 00:21:30.859
 Husbands,

00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:31.680
 love your wives

00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:33.160
 as Christ loved the church

00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:35.299
 and gave himself

00:21:35.299 --> 00:21:36.240
 up for her.

00:21:38.740 --> 00:21:41.019
 It's the new commandment

00:21:41.019 --> 00:21:42.319
 applied

00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:43.980
 to how husbands

00:21:43.980 --> 00:21:45.339
 love their ladies.

00:21:45.339 --> 00:21:48.419
 just as Jesus

00:21:48.419 --> 00:21:49.359
 gave himself up

00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:51.079
 for his bride,

00:21:51.299 --> 00:21:51.919
 the church,

00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:54.639
 so that the church

00:21:54.639 --> 00:21:55.579
 thrives.

00:21:57.059 --> 00:21:58.980
 So we give ourselves

00:21:58.980 --> 00:22:00.099
 husbands

00:22:00.099 --> 00:22:03.259
 so that our brides

00:22:03.259 --> 00:22:04.279
 thrive.

00:22:05.439 --> 00:22:06.619
 That's the kind of love

00:22:06.619 --> 00:22:07.359
 we're talking about.

00:22:08.099 --> 00:22:09.319
 That's how we live it out.

00:22:10.939 --> 00:22:11.939
 Other places,

00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:12.879
 this is described

00:22:12.879 --> 00:22:13.740
 as headship

00:22:13.740 --> 00:22:14.500
 in the home

00:22:14.500 --> 00:22:16.980
 and this headship

00:22:16.980 --> 00:22:18.140
 is not oppressive.

00:22:19.259 --> 00:22:20.559
 It's life-giving.

00:22:22.019 --> 00:22:23.299
 So I can say,

00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:24.480
 based upon the authority

00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:25.019
 of scriptures,

00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:25.599
 brothers,

00:22:27.380 --> 00:22:29.079
 love your wives

00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:30.120
 and children

00:22:30.120 --> 00:22:31.599
 unto Christ

00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:33.759
 by laying yourself down

00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:36.059
 so that they thrive.

00:22:36.059 --> 00:22:40.299
 the greatest thing

00:22:40.299 --> 00:22:40.940
 that they need

00:22:40.940 --> 00:22:42.639
 is not you.

00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:44.539
 It's Jesus.

00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:47.539
 And this is how you set

00:22:47.539 --> 00:22:50.919
 a Christ-rich atmosphere

00:22:50.919 --> 00:22:51.759
 in your home,

00:22:51.879 --> 00:22:52.240
 brothers,

00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:54.700
 by loving your family

00:22:54.700 --> 00:22:56.819
 as Christ has loved you.

00:22:58.440 --> 00:22:59.839
 But this is an example

00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:02.740
 of this precedent,

00:23:02.740 --> 00:23:04.500
 this Christ-like love

00:23:04.500 --> 00:23:06.039
 specifically applied

00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:06.559
 to husbands.

00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:08.079
 If we back up

00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:08.980
 and go back to

00:23:08.980 --> 00:23:10.599
 John 13, 34, and 35,

00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:12.059
 this is being commanded

00:23:12.059 --> 00:23:14.059
 to all followers

00:23:14.059 --> 00:23:14.880
 of Jesus.

00:23:15.220 --> 00:23:16.640
 We are to love

00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:17.420
 one another

00:23:17.420 --> 00:23:18.960
 with this kind

00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:20.180
 of Christ-like love.

00:23:22.380 --> 00:23:23.640
 Now, if you're thinking,

00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:26.860
 okay,

00:23:28.320 --> 00:23:33.400
 I'll give myself

00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:33.860
 for you.

00:23:35.940 --> 00:23:37.380
 I'll follow my sword.

00:23:40.180 --> 00:23:41.440
 It sounds miserable.

00:23:43.220 --> 00:23:44.120
 And there's no question

00:23:44.120 --> 00:23:44.980
 dying to yourself

00:23:44.980 --> 00:23:45.640
 is not easy.

00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:46.280
 Do I have an amen?

00:23:48.540 --> 00:23:49.680
 But check it out.

00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:51.960
 Hebrews 12,

00:23:52.259 --> 00:23:53.100
 speaking of Jesus,

00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:55.400
 for the joy set

00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:56.200
 before him,

00:23:56.340 --> 00:23:57.200
 he endured the cross.

00:23:58.800 --> 00:24:00.300
 When you're loving

00:24:00.300 --> 00:24:01.460
 people to Jesus

00:24:01.460 --> 00:24:02.400
 and you're laying

00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:03.400
 yourself down

00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:04.420
 so that people

00:24:04.420 --> 00:24:05.420
 will treasure Jesus,

00:24:05.560 --> 00:24:06.080
 do you know what

00:24:06.080 --> 00:24:07.900
 strange thing happens?

00:24:09.060 --> 00:24:10.380
 Your woe is me

00:24:10.380 --> 00:24:11.400
 turns to glory

00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:12.060
 to Christ.

00:24:13.100 --> 00:24:13.660
 Now,

00:24:13.800 --> 00:24:15.180
 I take joy

00:24:15.180 --> 00:24:16.400
 in watching

00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:16.960
 the people

00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:18.259
 I love most

00:24:18.259 --> 00:24:19.960
 thrive in Jesus.

00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:22.140
 All glory be

00:24:22.140 --> 00:24:22.759
 to his name.

00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:24.480
 And so,

00:24:24.540 --> 00:24:25.340
 there's no question

00:24:25.340 --> 00:24:26.420
 that there is

00:24:26.420 --> 00:24:27.420
 pain

00:24:27.420 --> 00:24:28.060
 in dying

00:24:28.060 --> 00:24:28.940
 to yourself.

00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:30.560
 But it's

00:24:30.560 --> 00:24:31.560
 not,

00:24:31.700 --> 00:24:32.120
 the end

00:24:32.120 --> 00:24:32.900
 is not you

00:24:32.900 --> 00:24:34.060
 dying to yourself.

00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:34.780
 The end

00:24:34.780 --> 00:24:35.600
 is others

00:24:35.600 --> 00:24:36.700
 thriving in Christ.

00:24:38.300 --> 00:24:38.980
 So,

00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:39.880
 we sacrifice

00:24:39.880 --> 00:24:40.700
 our time

00:24:40.700 --> 00:24:42.380
 with joy.

00:24:43.180 --> 00:24:44.200
 We sacrifice

00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:44.880
 our money

00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:46.759
 with joy.

00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:47.759
 joy.

00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:48.319
 We sacrifice

00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:49.720
 our comfort

00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:51.640
 with joy

00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:52.940
 so that others

00:24:52.940 --> 00:24:53.619
 would treasure

00:24:53.619 --> 00:24:55.960
 Christ with us.

00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:56.839
 Do I have an amen?

00:24:58.279 --> 00:24:59.400
 Who wants to be part

00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:00.339
 of a church like that?

00:25:00.879 --> 00:25:01.559
 I do.

00:25:03.900 --> 00:25:05.180
 This isn't complicated,

00:25:05.180 --> 00:25:05.619
 is it?

00:25:06.500 --> 00:25:07.720
 It's just hard

00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:09.140
 because you've got

00:25:09.140 --> 00:25:10.140
 to die to yourself

00:25:10.140 --> 00:25:12.500
 for the joy

00:25:12.500 --> 00:25:13.160
 of Jesus.

00:25:14.660 --> 00:25:15.759
 Which brings me

00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:17.240
 to the last

00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:17.920
 distinction

00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:20.200
 of this

00:25:20.200 --> 00:25:21.220
 new

00:25:21.220 --> 00:25:22.460
 commandment

00:25:22.460 --> 00:25:22.960
 love,

00:25:24.420 --> 00:25:25.040
 identifying

00:25:25.040 --> 00:25:25.940
 love.

00:25:26.980 --> 00:25:28.520
 When we commit

00:25:28.520 --> 00:25:29.300
 to loving one

00:25:29.300 --> 00:25:30.020
 another in this

00:25:30.020 --> 00:25:30.860
 required,

00:25:31.280 --> 00:25:32.080
 new,

00:25:32.340 --> 00:25:32.920
 Christ-like

00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:33.360
 way,

00:25:33.800 --> 00:25:34.180
 good things

00:25:34.180 --> 00:25:34.520
 happen.

00:25:36.100 --> 00:25:36.660
 The church,

00:25:36.980 --> 00:25:37.240
 Christ,

00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:38.579
 Christ is magnified,

00:25:38.740 --> 00:25:39.500
 the church is built

00:25:39.500 --> 00:25:40.279
 up and strengthened,

00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:42.259
 and non-Christians

00:25:42.259 --> 00:25:43.120
 take notice.

00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:45.680
 They notice

00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:46.240
 because

00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:47.839
 these Christians

00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:49.000
 are experiencing

00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:49.759
 relationships

00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:50.759
 with themselves

00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:52.759
 that God

00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:53.200
 intended.

00:25:55.220 --> 00:25:55.500
 That

00:25:55.500 --> 00:25:56.819
 that's

00:25:56.819 --> 00:25:57.740
 otherworldly.

00:25:58.339 --> 00:25:58.759
 It's not

00:25:58.759 --> 00:25:59.880
 their experience.

00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:04.640
 Beloved

00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:06.539
 of Christ,

00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:09.519
 be loving

00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:10.839
 like Christ.

00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:14.220
 You see,

00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:15.039
 our love

00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:15.819
 for one another

00:26:15.819 --> 00:26:16.859
 is an equalizing

00:26:16.859 --> 00:26:17.259
 love.

00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:19.599
 And in our

00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:20.140
 culture,

00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:21.640
 it's bizarre.

00:26:24.299 --> 00:26:24.759
 The kind

00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:25.259
 of love,

00:26:25.380 --> 00:26:25.680
 this kind

00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:25.940
 of love

00:26:25.940 --> 00:26:27.079
 is like

00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:28.640
 the incoming

00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:29.440
 tide

00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:31.680
 that raises

00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:33.480
 all the boats

00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:34.799
 in a harbor.

00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:36.980
 when we

00:26:36.980 --> 00:26:37.859
 love one

00:26:37.859 --> 00:26:38.180
 another

00:26:38.180 --> 00:26:38.759
 with this

00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:40.079
 Christ-like

00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:40.960
 love,

00:26:41.500 --> 00:26:42.099
 everyone

00:26:42.099 --> 00:26:43.039
 in a church,

00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:44.579
 they get

00:26:44.579 --> 00:26:45.480
 built up,

00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:47.339
 they're dignified,

00:26:47.700 --> 00:26:48.159
 they are

00:26:48.159 --> 00:26:48.879
 respected,

00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:50.919
 they're valued,

00:26:51.220 --> 00:26:51.579
 everyone.

00:26:51.579 --> 00:26:51.779
 one.

00:26:54.579 --> 00:26:55.259
 So when an

00:26:55.259 --> 00:26:55.980
 entire church

00:26:55.980 --> 00:26:56.379
 is loving

00:26:56.379 --> 00:26:56.779
 one another

00:26:56.779 --> 00:26:57.579
 like this,

00:26:58.500 --> 00:26:59.299
 we're all

00:26:59.299 --> 00:26:59.899
 edified.

00:27:00.059 --> 00:27:00.460
 It doesn't

00:27:00.460 --> 00:27:00.779
 matter in

00:27:00.779 --> 00:27:01.220
 your DNA,

00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:02.819
 it doesn't

00:27:02.819 --> 00:27:03.279
 matter about

00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:03.960
 your culture,

00:27:04.159 --> 00:27:04.779
 your ethnicity,

00:27:05.259 --> 00:27:05.919
 your history

00:27:05.919 --> 00:27:06.559
 with the law,

00:27:06.859 --> 00:27:07.240
 it doesn't

00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:07.659
 matter your

00:27:07.659 --> 00:27:08.359
 age or

00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:09.079
 your sex.

00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:10.319
 When we

00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:10.679
 love one

00:27:10.679 --> 00:27:11.199
 another like

00:27:11.199 --> 00:27:11.939
 Christ loved

00:27:11.939 --> 00:27:12.419
 us,

00:27:12.699 --> 00:27:14.460
 all experience

00:27:14.460 --> 00:27:14.960
 dignity.

00:27:16.199 --> 00:27:16.819
 Everyone is

00:27:16.819 --> 00:27:17.279
 valued.

00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:19.179
 Everyone is

00:27:19.179 --> 00:27:19.500
 said,

00:27:19.500 --> 00:27:20.700
 you are

00:27:20.700 --> 00:27:20.980
 deeply

00:27:20.980 --> 00:27:21.440
 loved.

00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:23.640
 And they

00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:24.079
 mean it.

00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:27.579
 Christ the

00:27:27.579 --> 00:27:28.099
 King Church,

00:27:29.619 --> 00:27:30.279
 Jesus is

00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:30.900
 calling us

00:27:30.900 --> 00:27:31.299
 to be

00:27:31.299 --> 00:27:31.680
 equal

00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:32.420
 opportunity

00:27:32.420 --> 00:27:33.160
 lovers of

00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:33.640
 one another.

00:27:35.099 --> 00:27:35.880
 And when

00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:36.380
 we're loving

00:27:36.380 --> 00:27:36.819
 one another

00:27:36.819 --> 00:27:37.500
 like this,

00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:39.200
 it's a

00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:39.720
 protection

00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:40.279
 against

00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:40.720
 something.

00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:42.359
 Something we

00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:42.740
 read in

00:27:42.740 --> 00:27:43.500
 James 2.

00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:44.720
 It's called

00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:45.240
 the sin of

00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:46.059
 partiality.

00:27:47.059 --> 00:27:47.980
 The sin of

00:27:47.980 --> 00:27:48.819
 partiality

00:27:48.819 --> 00:27:50.259
 preferences

00:27:50.259 --> 00:27:51.059
 people,

00:27:51.220 --> 00:27:51.859
 other people

00:27:51.859 --> 00:27:52.579
 based upon

00:27:52.579 --> 00:27:53.259
 their wealth

00:27:53.259 --> 00:27:54.099
 or how

00:27:54.099 --> 00:27:54.679
 well they're

00:27:54.679 --> 00:27:55.139
 dressed,

00:27:55.679 --> 00:27:56.480
 their success

00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:57.139
 in life.

00:27:57.960 --> 00:27:58.559
 Or

00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:01.759
 it doesn't

00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:02.139
 preference

00:28:02.139 --> 00:28:03.480
 them based

00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:03.799
 on the way

00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:04.539
 they smell,

00:28:04.679 --> 00:28:04.899
 the way

00:28:04.899 --> 00:28:05.599
 they look,

00:28:05.779 --> 00:28:06.279
 what neighborhood

00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:06.839
 they're from.

00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:09.139
 And so

00:28:09.139 --> 00:28:09.939
 this kind

00:28:09.939 --> 00:28:10.839
 of loving,

00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:12.960
 what it

00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:13.639
 does is

00:28:13.639 --> 00:28:14.980
 it flies in

00:28:14.980 --> 00:28:15.480
 the face

00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:16.099
 of the world.

00:28:16.099 --> 00:28:18.959
 it protects

00:28:18.959 --> 00:28:20.159
 us from

00:28:20.159 --> 00:28:22.459
 valuing

00:28:22.459 --> 00:28:23.099
 people based

00:28:23.099 --> 00:28:23.759
 upon worldly

00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:24.299
 standards.

00:28:26.459 --> 00:28:27.199
 And this

00:28:27.199 --> 00:28:28.199
 identifying effect

00:28:28.199 --> 00:28:28.939
 has another

00:28:28.939 --> 00:28:29.819
 aspect to it

00:28:29.819 --> 00:28:30.799
 that I just

00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:31.059
 want to

00:28:31.059 --> 00:28:31.980
 touch on

00:28:31.980 --> 00:28:32.339
 briefly.

00:28:32.699 --> 00:28:33.500
 And it gets

00:28:33.500 --> 00:28:33.980
 noticed.

00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:37.359
 It's how we

00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:38.039
 speak the truth

00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:38.639
 to one another.

00:28:40.199 --> 00:28:40.959
 It's how we

00:28:40.959 --> 00:28:41.759
 talk to each

00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:42.059
 other.

00:28:42.059 --> 00:28:44.519
 that gets

00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:45.059
 noticed.

00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:47.279
 We use

00:28:47.279 --> 00:28:48.220
 our words

00:28:48.220 --> 00:28:49.399
 to love

00:28:49.399 --> 00:28:50.379
 one another

00:28:50.379 --> 00:28:51.279
 unto

00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:51.879
 Jesus.

00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:53.819
 So we're

00:28:53.819 --> 00:28:54.599
 very selective

00:28:54.599 --> 00:28:55.259
 of what we

00:28:55.259 --> 00:28:55.940
 say

00:28:55.940 --> 00:28:57.599
 because it

00:28:57.599 --> 00:28:58.299
 matters.

00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:01.079
 Sometimes

00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:01.759
 out of this

00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:02.359
 new commandment

00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:02.759
 love,

00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:04.200
 we will say

00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:05.019
 hard and

00:29:05.019 --> 00:29:05.819
 even hurtful

00:29:05.819 --> 00:29:06.559
 things for

00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:07.039
 someone's

00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:07.679
 greatest good

00:29:07.679 --> 00:29:08.379
 to treasure

00:29:08.379 --> 00:29:08.759
 Jesus.

00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:11.379
 there are

00:29:11.379 --> 00:29:12.099
 words spoken

00:29:12.099 --> 00:29:12.440
 we know

00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:12.759
 from the

00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:13.220
 Proverbs

00:29:13.220 --> 00:29:13.559
 that are

00:29:13.559 --> 00:29:14.160
 like sword

00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:15.359
 thrusts

00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:17.079
 that are

00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:17.460
 violent

00:29:17.460 --> 00:29:18.279
 and damaging.

00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:19.940
 Those are

00:29:19.940 --> 00:29:20.539
 unloving

00:29:20.539 --> 00:29:21.079
 words.

00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:23.799
 And then

00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:24.119
 there are

00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:25.140
 words spoken

00:29:25.140 --> 00:29:25.579
 that are

00:29:25.579 --> 00:29:26.019
 surgical.

00:29:28.039 --> 00:29:29.359
 That they

00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:29.960
 are intended

00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:30.759
 to heal.

00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:33.879
 We see

00:29:33.879 --> 00:29:34.640
 Jesus confront

00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:35.480
 people throughout

00:29:35.480 --> 00:29:36.240
 the Gospels

00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:36.859
 in order to

00:29:36.859 --> 00:29:37.460
 rescue them

00:29:37.460 --> 00:29:37.859
 and heal

00:29:37.859 --> 00:29:38.259
 them and

00:29:38.259 --> 00:29:39.359
 grant them

00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:39.799
 health.

00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:40.700
 Remember the

00:29:40.700 --> 00:29:41.359
 story of the

00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:41.720
 rich young

00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:42.660
 ruler who

00:29:42.660 --> 00:29:43.400
 had everything

00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:44.980
 and Jesus

00:29:44.980 --> 00:29:45.339
 said,

00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:45.559
 hey,

00:29:45.660 --> 00:29:46.259
 just go sell

00:29:46.259 --> 00:29:46.720
 everything you

00:29:46.720 --> 00:29:47.039
 got and

00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:47.599
 follow me.

00:29:47.700 --> 00:29:48.339
 He's offering

00:29:48.339 --> 00:29:48.900
 life.

00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:49.559
 And the

00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:50.019
 rich young

00:29:50.019 --> 00:29:50.940
 ruler goes,

00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:51.519
 wow,

00:29:51.619 --> 00:29:52.039
 I'm going

00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:52.559
 home.

00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:54.940
 Jesus was

00:29:54.940 --> 00:29:55.599
 speaking a

00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:56.000
 word,

00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:56.759
 a loving

00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:57.259
 word to

00:29:57.259 --> 00:29:57.500
 him.

00:29:59.660 --> 00:30:00.379
 When we

00:30:00.379 --> 00:30:01.019
 love those

00:30:01.019 --> 00:30:02.019
 unlike us

00:30:02.019 --> 00:30:02.980
 and like us

00:30:02.980 --> 00:30:03.680
 as Jesus

00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:04.579
 loved us

00:30:04.579 --> 00:30:06.819
 and when we

00:30:06.819 --> 00:30:07.299
 speak the

00:30:07.299 --> 00:30:07.859
 truth and

00:30:07.859 --> 00:30:08.240
 love to

00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:08.839
 one another,

00:30:09.339 --> 00:30:10.620
 it gets

00:30:10.620 --> 00:30:11.380
 noticed.

00:30:16.079 --> 00:30:16.720
 Something

00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:17.200
 different,

00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:17.839
 there's

00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:18.039
 something

00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:18.779
 different about

00:30:18.779 --> 00:30:20.339
 you based

00:30:20.339 --> 00:30:20.900
 upon your

00:30:20.900 --> 00:30:22.000
 language choice.

00:30:23.500 --> 00:30:24.140
 There's

00:30:24.140 --> 00:30:24.380
 something

00:30:24.380 --> 00:30:24.940
 different about

00:30:24.940 --> 00:30:25.819
 your church

00:30:25.819 --> 00:30:27.120
 and the way

00:30:27.120 --> 00:30:28.000
 that they are

00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:28.660
 embracing

00:30:28.660 --> 00:30:29.500
 everyone.

00:30:30.500 --> 00:30:31.160
 What is

00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:32.079
 going on?

00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:34.439
 we need to

00:30:34.439 --> 00:30:34.859
 be able to

00:30:34.859 --> 00:30:35.379
 give a reason

00:30:35.379 --> 00:30:35.819
 for the

00:30:35.819 --> 00:30:36.939
 love that

00:30:36.939 --> 00:30:37.319
 is in

00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:37.699
 us.

00:30:38.699 --> 00:30:39.259
 And that

00:30:39.259 --> 00:30:39.799
 reason is

00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:40.279
 we have

00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:40.679
 been loved

00:30:40.679 --> 00:30:41.199
 by Jesus

00:30:41.199 --> 00:30:41.699
 himself.

00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:43.119
 And so

00:30:43.119 --> 00:30:43.579
 now we

00:30:43.579 --> 00:30:44.500
 love others

00:30:44.500 --> 00:30:44.899
 with the

00:30:44.899 --> 00:30:45.419
 love with

00:30:45.419 --> 00:30:45.799
 which we've

00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:46.259
 been loved.

00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:48.299
 Do you know

00:30:48.299 --> 00:30:48.579
 what that's

00:30:48.579 --> 00:30:48.819
 called?

00:30:49.899 --> 00:30:50.439
 That's called

00:30:50.439 --> 00:30:51.559
 proof is in

00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:52.079
 the pudding.

00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:54.799
 it's what

00:30:54.799 --> 00:30:55.439
 Francis Schaeffer

00:30:55.439 --> 00:30:55.879
 called the

00:30:55.879 --> 00:30:57.099
 final apologetic.

00:30:59.039 --> 00:30:59.960
 You can talk

00:30:59.960 --> 00:31:00.539
 about Jesus

00:31:00.539 --> 00:31:01.439
 all you want

00:31:01.439 --> 00:31:04.339
 but it shows

00:31:04.339 --> 00:31:04.699
 up in the

00:31:04.699 --> 00:31:05.139
 way you love

00:31:05.139 --> 00:31:05.500
 people.

00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:08.119
 So our

00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:09.220
 Christ-like love

00:31:09.220 --> 00:31:09.599
 for one

00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:11.619
 another, it

00:31:11.619 --> 00:31:12.439
 identifies us

00:31:12.439 --> 00:31:13.059
 with Christ.

00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:15.199
 Now let me just

00:31:15.199 --> 00:31:15.740
 take a second

00:31:15.740 --> 00:31:16.559
 and pan out

00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:17.240
 because I

00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:17.619
 want you to

00:31:17.619 --> 00:31:18.079
 see something

00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:18.659
 happening in

00:31:18.659 --> 00:31:19.259
 this passage.

00:31:21.159 --> 00:31:21.859
 In verses

00:31:21.859 --> 00:31:23.039
 21 through

00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:24.419
 30, Jesus

00:31:24.419 --> 00:31:25.099
 speaks of the

00:31:25.099 --> 00:31:26.879
 betrayal of

00:31:26.879 --> 00:31:27.240
 Judas.

00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:27.919
 Look what he

00:31:27.919 --> 00:31:28.419
 says in verse

00:31:28.419 --> 00:31:28.859
 21.

00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:29.559
 Truly, truly,

00:31:29.700 --> 00:31:30.119
 I say to

00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:31.119
 you, one of

00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:31.480
 you will

00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:32.220
 betray me.

00:31:32.539 --> 00:31:33.319
 Is betraying

00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:34.259
 someone loving

00:31:34.259 --> 00:31:35.099
 or unloving?

00:31:36.399 --> 00:31:36.919
 Unloving.

00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:38.480
 Now look down

00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:39.399
 at verses 36

00:31:39.399 --> 00:31:40.059
 through 38.

00:31:41.179 --> 00:31:42.039
 Peter is about

00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:42.779
 to deny him.

00:31:44.539 --> 00:31:45.539
 Verse 38,

00:31:45.659 --> 00:31:46.200
 truly, truly,

00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:46.779
 I say to

00:31:46.779 --> 00:31:47.559
 you, the

00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:48.100
 rooster will

00:31:48.100 --> 00:31:49.059
 not crow till

00:31:49.059 --> 00:31:49.819
 you have denied

00:31:49.819 --> 00:31:50.759
 me three times.

00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:51.840
 Is denying

00:31:51.840 --> 00:31:53.400
 someone loving

00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:54.279
 or unloving?

00:31:55.299 --> 00:31:55.900
 Unloving.

00:31:56.660 --> 00:31:57.539
 So here you

00:31:57.539 --> 00:31:58.480
 have Jesus

00:31:58.480 --> 00:32:00.740
 calling his

00:32:00.740 --> 00:32:02.660
 disciples to

00:32:02.660 --> 00:32:03.920
 love one

00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:05.460
 another in the

00:32:05.460 --> 00:32:06.140
 midst of he

00:32:06.140 --> 00:32:07.720
 himself being

00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:08.720
 betrayed and

00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:09.160
 denied.

00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:10.319
 Isn't that

00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:10.680
 amazing?

00:32:11.620 --> 00:32:12.519
 What a lover

00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:13.039
 is that?

00:32:14.120 --> 00:32:14.700
 That's the one

00:32:14.700 --> 00:32:15.319
 who loves you.

00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:17.100
 That's the one

00:32:17.100 --> 00:32:17.940
 who loves me.

00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:19.840
 And that's the one

00:32:19.840 --> 00:32:20.840
 who wants us to

00:32:20.840 --> 00:32:22.779
 love others as

00:32:22.779 --> 00:32:23.920
 he has loved us.

00:32:24.059 --> 00:32:25.180
 And so here's the

00:32:25.180 --> 00:32:26.279
 point of this

00:32:26.279 --> 00:32:26.759
 passage.

00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:29.420
 Beloved of

00:32:29.420 --> 00:32:30.319
 Christ,

00:32:31.580 --> 00:32:33.319
 be loving one

00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:34.940
 another like

00:32:34.940 --> 00:32:35.600
 Christ.

00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:37.680
 Beloved of

00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:38.759
 Christ, be loving

00:32:38.759 --> 00:32:39.580
 one another like

00:32:39.580 --> 00:32:40.080
 Christ.

00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:40.179
 Christ.

00:32:41.179 --> 00:32:42.339
 So let me apply

00:32:42.339 --> 00:32:42.980
 this in four

00:32:42.980 --> 00:32:43.419
 ways.

00:32:44.439 --> 00:32:44.839
 You ready?

00:32:46.220 --> 00:32:47.779
 The first one is

00:32:47.779 --> 00:32:48.939
 me loving you

00:32:48.939 --> 00:32:50.779
 surgically.

00:32:53.980 --> 00:32:54.899
 We need to

00:32:54.899 --> 00:32:55.639
 repent of not

00:32:55.639 --> 00:32:56.099
 loving one

00:32:56.099 --> 00:32:56.359
 another.

00:32:58.659 --> 00:32:59.839
 You just can't

00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:00.480
 ignore your

00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:01.419
 unloving sin.

00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:03.579
 You got to

00:33:03.579 --> 00:33:04.220
 repent of it.

00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:06.720
 Are you bitter

00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:07.339
 towards someone?

00:33:07.339 --> 00:33:09.079
 It's not

00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:09.399
 loving.

00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:11.179
 It's unloving.

00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:12.919
 Are you

00:33:12.919 --> 00:33:13.639
 avoiding someone

00:33:13.639 --> 00:33:14.220
 because they're

00:33:14.220 --> 00:33:15.119
 a different

00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:16.039
 color skin than

00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:16.879
 yours or they

00:33:16.879 --> 00:33:17.220
 have a different

00:33:17.220 --> 00:33:18.339
 personality type

00:33:18.339 --> 00:33:18.919
 than yours?

00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:20.159
 That's not

00:33:20.159 --> 00:33:20.579
 loving.

00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:22.559
 That's sinning.

00:33:24.019 --> 00:33:24.859
 Are you

00:33:24.859 --> 00:33:25.439
 dismissing

00:33:25.439 --> 00:33:26.519
 someone else

00:33:26.519 --> 00:33:27.819
 because you

00:33:27.819 --> 00:33:28.179
 think that

00:33:28.179 --> 00:33:28.740
 they're dumb?

00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:31.359
 That's not

00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:31.899
 loving.

00:33:32.959 --> 00:33:34.000
 That's sinning.

00:33:34.659 --> 00:33:35.119
 Are you

00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:35.619
 involved in

00:33:35.619 --> 00:33:36.559
 sexual immorality

00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:37.079
 with someone?

00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:37.839
 That's not

00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:38.460
 loving.

00:33:39.419 --> 00:33:40.399
 That's sinning.

00:33:41.399 --> 00:33:42.039
 Are you

00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:42.720
 gossiping?

00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:44.200
 That's not

00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:44.579
 loving.

00:33:45.879 --> 00:33:46.579
 Holding a

00:33:46.579 --> 00:33:46.919
 grudge,

00:33:47.099 --> 00:33:47.819
 blame shifting?

00:33:48.220 --> 00:33:48.599
 Are you

00:33:48.599 --> 00:33:49.279
 overbearing?

00:33:49.899 --> 00:33:50.299
 Are you

00:33:50.299 --> 00:33:50.879
 abdicating

00:33:50.879 --> 00:33:51.480
 responsibility?

00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:53.039
 These are not

00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:54.059
 ways in which we

00:33:54.059 --> 00:33:55.059
 love one another.

00:33:55.859 --> 00:33:56.799
 These are ways

00:33:56.799 --> 00:33:57.299
 in which we

00:33:57.299 --> 00:33:58.359
 sin against

00:33:58.359 --> 00:33:59.159
 one another.

00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:01.759
 And these are

00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:02.419
 things that we

00:34:02.419 --> 00:34:03.339
 must repent of.

00:34:03.339 --> 00:34:04.339
 sinning.

00:34:04.339 --> 00:34:05.899
 These are the

00:34:05.899 --> 00:34:06.599
 sins that

00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:08.119
 happen between

00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:08.779
 people.

00:34:09.299 --> 00:34:09.739
 And they're

00:34:09.739 --> 00:34:10.599
 always sinning

00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:11.299
 not just against

00:34:11.299 --> 00:34:11.819
 someone else

00:34:11.819 --> 00:34:12.319
 but against

00:34:12.319 --> 00:34:12.980
 God.

00:34:14.860 --> 00:34:15.860
 So in those

00:34:15.860 --> 00:34:16.559
 moments,

00:34:17.099 --> 00:34:17.779
 not only are we

00:34:17.779 --> 00:34:19.199
 disobeying the

00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:20.139
 new commandment,

00:34:20.739 --> 00:34:22.719
 we're confusing

00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:24.199
 our witness to

00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:24.739
 the world.

00:34:25.619 --> 00:34:26.639
 And we're

00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:27.259
 grieving the

00:34:27.259 --> 00:34:27.639
 spirit.

00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:27.799
 spirit.

00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:31.619
 Anybody ever

00:34:31.619 --> 00:34:32.579
 attend a shop

00:34:32.579 --> 00:34:33.299
 class in high

00:34:33.299 --> 00:34:33.579
 school?

00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:34.460
 AJ, this is

00:34:34.460 --> 00:34:34.719
 for you.

00:34:35.839 --> 00:34:36.639
 Anybody attend

00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:37.779
 a shop class?

00:34:38.579 --> 00:34:38.779
 Nobody?

00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:39.739
 Two people?

00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:41.199
 Thank you.

00:34:42.139 --> 00:34:42.799
 You're taught

00:34:42.799 --> 00:34:43.940
 how to sand

00:34:43.940 --> 00:34:45.039
 a board.

00:34:45.859 --> 00:34:46.819
 You sand

00:34:46.819 --> 00:34:47.839
 with the

00:34:47.839 --> 00:34:48.960
 grain.

00:34:49.339 --> 00:34:49.960
 If you sand

00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:50.579
 against the

00:34:50.579 --> 00:34:51.480
 grain, you get

00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:52.099
 scratches.

00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:53.000
 Yucky.

00:34:54.779 --> 00:34:56.460
 When we love

00:34:56.460 --> 00:34:58.220
 one another, we

00:34:58.220 --> 00:34:58.940
 are loving

00:34:58.940 --> 00:35:00.840
 each other with

00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:01.519
 the grain of

00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:03.559
 the spirit, what

00:35:03.559 --> 00:35:04.300
 he is wanting

00:35:04.300 --> 00:35:04.880
 to do in our

00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:05.220
 midst.

00:35:06.059 --> 00:35:06.980
 And when we

00:35:06.980 --> 00:35:08.179
 don't love one

00:35:08.179 --> 00:35:09.460
 another, we're

00:35:09.460 --> 00:35:10.820
 sanding, loving,

00:35:11.099 --> 00:35:12.380
 unloving against

00:35:12.380 --> 00:35:13.139
 the grain of the

00:35:13.139 --> 00:35:13.420
 spirit.

00:35:13.820 --> 00:35:14.460
 That's why

00:35:14.460 --> 00:35:15.420
 Ephesians 4.29

00:35:15.420 --> 00:35:16.599
 says in a

00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:17.300
 passage about

00:35:17.300 --> 00:35:18.240
 relating to

00:35:18.240 --> 00:35:19.139
 one another, that

00:35:19.139 --> 00:35:20.159
 that grieves

00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:20.780
 the spirit.

00:35:20.940 --> 00:35:22.000
 You are working

00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:23.039
 against the

00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:24.720
 very thing God

00:35:24.720 --> 00:35:25.340
 is wanting to

00:35:25.340 --> 00:35:26.119
 do in us.

00:35:27.179 --> 00:35:28.139
 It's serious

00:35:28.139 --> 00:35:28.659
 business.

00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:31.740
 Jesus didn't

00:35:31.740 --> 00:35:32.860
 save us so we

00:35:32.860 --> 00:35:33.280
 could sin

00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:33.820
 against each

00:35:33.820 --> 00:35:34.059
 other.

00:35:35.460 --> 00:35:36.159
 Jesus saved

00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:36.740
 us so that we

00:35:36.740 --> 00:35:37.280
 would love one

00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:37.559
 another.

00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:42.159
 So repent of

00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:42.900
 not loving one

00:35:42.900 --> 00:35:43.199
 another.

00:35:45.220 --> 00:35:46.019
 Is there a

00:35:46.019 --> 00:35:46.980
 particular area

00:35:46.980 --> 00:35:47.740
 that God is

00:35:47.740 --> 00:35:48.480
 bringing to your

00:35:48.480 --> 00:35:49.340
 mind right now?

00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:51.679
 That's him

00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:53.960
 loving you so

00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:54.559
 that you love

00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:55.079
 with a holy

00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:55.500
 love.

00:35:58.139 --> 00:35:58.699
 Two,

00:36:00.759 --> 00:36:02.299
 peacemaking is

00:36:02.299 --> 00:36:02.840
 loving one

00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:03.139
 another.

00:36:05.699 --> 00:36:06.840
 We must not

00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:07.920
 sweep our sinning

00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:08.500
 against one

00:36:08.500 --> 00:36:09.299
 another under the

00:36:09.299 --> 00:36:09.539
 rug.

00:36:09.759 --> 00:36:11.299
 That's not

00:36:11.299 --> 00:36:11.940
 loving one

00:36:11.940 --> 00:36:12.259
 another.

00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:15.539
 Peacemaking is

00:36:15.539 --> 00:36:17.219
 when we seek

00:36:17.219 --> 00:36:18.619
 to make wrongs

00:36:18.619 --> 00:36:19.199
 right with one

00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:19.400
 another.

00:36:19.539 --> 00:36:20.259
 It's conflict

00:36:20.259 --> 00:36:20.880
 resolution.

00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:22.019
 It's making

00:36:22.019 --> 00:36:23.160
 sure that all

00:36:23.160 --> 00:36:23.960
 is right in

00:36:23.960 --> 00:36:25.260
 relationships with

00:36:25.260 --> 00:36:25.840
 other people.

00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:26.340
 And sometimes

00:36:26.340 --> 00:36:27.200
 that means owning

00:36:27.200 --> 00:36:28.380
 your sin for

00:36:28.380 --> 00:36:29.059
 offending someone

00:36:29.059 --> 00:36:29.900
 and that sometimes

00:36:29.900 --> 00:36:30.640
 means going to

00:36:30.640 --> 00:36:31.480
 someone when

00:36:31.480 --> 00:36:31.980
 they've offended

00:36:31.980 --> 00:36:32.820
 you and say,

00:36:33.180 --> 00:36:33.559
 hey buddy,

00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:34.880
 that hurt.

00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:36.140
 And then you get

00:36:36.140 --> 00:36:37.360
 to ask for their

00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:38.260
 forgiveness and

00:36:38.260 --> 00:36:38.760
 then they forgive

00:36:38.760 --> 00:36:39.079
 you.

00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:41.360
 Peace,

00:36:41.860 --> 00:36:42.200
 biblically

00:36:42.200 --> 00:36:42.660
 speaking,

00:36:43.460 --> 00:36:44.599
 is not just the

00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:46.519
 absence of

00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:47.500
 tension in the

00:36:47.500 --> 00:36:48.900
 relationships and

00:36:48.900 --> 00:36:49.860
 many of us settle

00:36:49.860 --> 00:36:50.320
 for that.

00:36:53.260 --> 00:36:54.380
 Peace is not

00:36:54.380 --> 00:36:55.440
 just the absence

00:36:55.440 --> 00:36:56.300
 of tension,

00:36:56.619 --> 00:36:57.960
 it's fullness

00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:00.460
 of trust,

00:37:01.260 --> 00:37:02.679
 of joy,

00:37:03.679 --> 00:37:04.739
 of mutual

00:37:04.739 --> 00:37:05.400
 care.

00:37:06.119 --> 00:37:06.760
 And Jesus is

00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:07.219
 the ultimate

00:37:07.219 --> 00:37:07.860
 peacemaker.

00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:10.519
 Through his

00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:11.619
 death, he made

00:37:11.619 --> 00:37:12.699
 peace between us

00:37:12.699 --> 00:37:13.179
 and God,

00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:14.840
 between us and

00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:15.340
 ourselves,

00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:16.599
 between us and

00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:17.059
 others.

00:37:17.059 --> 00:37:17.599
 And one day,

00:37:17.679 --> 00:37:18.199
 with all of

00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:18.659
 creation,

00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:21.239
 talk about a

00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:22.960
 powerful display.

00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:29.940
 We are to

00:37:29.940 --> 00:37:30.719
 love one another

00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:31.320
 by pursuing

00:37:31.320 --> 00:37:32.259
 peace with one

00:37:32.259 --> 00:37:32.559
 another.

00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:35.219
 Romans 12,

00:37:35.299 --> 00:37:36.799
 18 says this,

00:37:37.860 --> 00:37:38.420
 as far as it

00:37:38.420 --> 00:37:39.039
 depends on you,

00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:39.759
 be at peace

00:37:39.759 --> 00:37:41.059
 with everyone.

00:37:41.340 --> 00:37:41.679
 And you know

00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:42.420
 what that follows?

00:37:43.259 --> 00:37:43.860
 Romans 12,

00:37:43.940 --> 00:37:44.259
 9,

00:37:45.099 --> 00:37:46.500
 let love be

00:37:46.500 --> 00:37:47.000
 genuine.

00:37:47.059 --> 00:37:50.340
 peace making

00:37:50.340 --> 00:37:51.659
 is a way we

00:37:51.659 --> 00:37:52.460
 love one

00:37:52.460 --> 00:37:52.820
 another.

00:37:53.619 --> 00:37:54.079
 Is there

00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:55.519
 someone God

00:37:55.519 --> 00:37:56.599
 is bringing to

00:37:56.599 --> 00:37:57.460
 your mind

00:37:57.460 --> 00:37:58.619
 right now

00:37:58.619 --> 00:38:00.299
 that you need

00:38:00.299 --> 00:38:00.699
 to pursue

00:38:00.699 --> 00:38:01.500
 peace with,

00:38:01.659 --> 00:38:02.440
 that you need

00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:03.239
 to love?

00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:06.360
 Follow the

00:38:06.360 --> 00:38:06.639
 Spirit.

00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:08.820
 He's leading

00:38:08.820 --> 00:38:09.099
 you.

00:38:09.099 --> 00:38:11.339
 and if you

00:38:11.339 --> 00:38:11.920
 need help

00:38:11.920 --> 00:38:12.579
 in figuring

00:38:12.579 --> 00:38:12.980
 that one

00:38:12.980 --> 00:38:13.259
 out,

00:38:14.219 --> 00:38:14.960
 give me a

00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:15.159
 call.

00:38:17.739 --> 00:38:18.679
 Two others,

00:38:19.219 --> 00:38:19.779
 applications,

00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:22.519
 and they

00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:22.819
 might be

00:38:22.819 --> 00:38:23.279
 surprising.

00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:26.440
 Third

00:38:26.440 --> 00:38:26.980
 application,

00:38:27.619 --> 00:38:28.019
 membership

00:38:28.019 --> 00:38:29.559
 is loving

00:38:29.559 --> 00:38:30.119
 one another.

00:38:31.400 --> 00:38:31.679
 Church

00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:32.179
 membership

00:38:32.179 --> 00:38:33.919
 is at

00:38:33.919 --> 00:38:34.500
 its core

00:38:34.500 --> 00:38:35.879
 a commitment

00:38:35.879 --> 00:38:38.000
 to love

00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:38.500
 one another.

00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:40.460
 Church

00:38:40.460 --> 00:38:40.879
 membership

00:38:40.879 --> 00:38:42.079
 is essentially

00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:43.159
 one Christian

00:38:43.159 --> 00:38:44.000
 saying to a

00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:44.460
 bunch of other

00:38:44.460 --> 00:38:44.879
 Christians,

00:38:45.419 --> 00:38:46.379
 I am committed

00:38:46.379 --> 00:38:47.019
 to you,

00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:48.000
 and the bunch

00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:48.339
 of other

00:38:48.339 --> 00:38:49.039
 Christians are

00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:49.679
 saying to that

00:38:49.679 --> 00:38:50.279
 one Christian,

00:38:50.519 --> 00:38:51.039
 and we're

00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:51.599
 committed to

00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:51.960
 you.

00:38:52.399 --> 00:38:52.799
 Committed to

00:38:52.799 --> 00:38:53.219
 do what?

00:38:53.919 --> 00:38:54.659
 Together follow

00:38:54.659 --> 00:38:55.219
 Jesus, to

00:38:55.219 --> 00:38:55.639
 treasure him

00:38:55.639 --> 00:38:56.099
 above all

00:38:56.099 --> 00:38:56.500
 else.

00:38:56.500 --> 00:39:00.300
 this kind

00:39:00.300 --> 00:39:00.860
 of

00:39:00.860 --> 00:39:02.659
 commitment

00:39:02.659 --> 00:39:03.780
 that church

00:39:03.780 --> 00:39:04.380
 membership

00:39:04.380 --> 00:39:05.280
 represents.

00:39:05.659 --> 00:39:06.380
 It's a

00:39:06.380 --> 00:39:06.940
 formalized

00:39:06.940 --> 00:39:07.320
 commitment.

00:39:08.679 --> 00:39:09.039
 It's,

00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:10.320
 there's an

00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:10.699
 accountability

00:39:10.699 --> 00:39:11.480
 to it,

00:39:12.699 --> 00:39:13.480
 and it

00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:14.099
 flies in the

00:39:14.099 --> 00:39:15.039
 face of our

00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:16.400
 modern culture's

00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:17.400
 fear of

00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:17.900
 commitment,

00:39:18.619 --> 00:39:19.519
 our modern

00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:20.460
 culture's

00:39:20.460 --> 00:39:21.179
 trying to

00:39:21.179 --> 00:39:21.840
 keep all of

00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:22.420
 your options

00:39:22.420 --> 00:39:22.900
 open,

00:39:23.539 --> 00:39:24.360
 our modern

00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:25.119
 culture's

00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:26.139
 view of

00:39:26.139 --> 00:39:27.460
 relationships

00:39:27.460 --> 00:39:29.259
 as like

00:39:29.259 --> 00:39:30.819
 podcast

00:39:30.819 --> 00:39:31.500
 subscriptions

00:39:31.500 --> 00:39:32.059
 that you

00:39:32.059 --> 00:39:33.400
 can discontinue

00:39:33.400 --> 00:39:33.900
 anytime you

00:39:33.900 --> 00:39:34.199
 want.

00:39:37.659 --> 00:39:38.139
 Membership

00:39:38.139 --> 00:39:40.319
 is loving

00:39:40.319 --> 00:39:40.900
 one another,

00:39:41.900 --> 00:39:42.920
 and we have

00:39:42.920 --> 00:39:43.319
 a membership

00:39:43.319 --> 00:39:44.179
 class starting

00:39:44.179 --> 00:39:44.639
 in just a

00:39:44.639 --> 00:39:45.059
 couple weeks,

00:39:45.099 --> 00:39:45.420
 and if you're

00:39:45.420 --> 00:39:45.900
 not a member

00:39:45.900 --> 00:39:46.279
 of our

00:39:46.279 --> 00:39:46.599
 church,

00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:47.059
 we would

00:39:47.059 --> 00:39:47.579
 welcome you

00:39:47.579 --> 00:39:47.819
 to come

00:39:47.819 --> 00:39:48.139
 through our

00:39:48.139 --> 00:39:48.460
 membership

00:39:48.460 --> 00:39:48.900
 class,

00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:49.879
 so you can

00:39:49.879 --> 00:39:50.420
 find out

00:39:50.420 --> 00:39:51.219
 who we are,

00:39:51.579 --> 00:39:52.159
 where we're

00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:52.400
 going,

00:39:52.500 --> 00:39:52.859
 and how we're

00:39:52.859 --> 00:39:53.159
 going to get

00:39:53.159 --> 00:39:53.420
 there.

00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:54.859
 And if you

00:39:54.859 --> 00:39:55.599
 are a member,

00:39:56.139 --> 00:39:58.199
 are you

00:39:58.199 --> 00:39:58.859
 seeing your

00:39:58.859 --> 00:39:59.960
 membership as

00:39:59.960 --> 00:40:00.879
 loving others,

00:40:01.559 --> 00:40:02.719
 as a

00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:03.199
 commitment to

00:40:03.199 --> 00:40:03.839
 other people,

00:40:04.900 --> 00:40:05.559
 other Christians

00:40:05.559 --> 00:40:05.900
 in your

00:40:05.900 --> 00:40:06.279
 church?

00:40:07.579 --> 00:40:08.359
 The third,

00:40:08.460 --> 00:40:08.799
 the fourth

00:40:08.799 --> 00:40:09.119
 way,

00:40:10.539 --> 00:40:10.879
 and again,

00:40:10.940 --> 00:40:11.319
 this might be

00:40:11.319 --> 00:40:11.799
 a surprise,

00:40:14.379 --> 00:40:15.339
 is gathering

00:40:15.339 --> 00:40:17.420
 weekly is a

00:40:17.420 --> 00:40:17.940
 way we love

00:40:17.940 --> 00:40:18.420
 one another.

00:40:20.019 --> 00:40:20.819
 Just showing

00:40:20.819 --> 00:40:21.079
 up,

00:40:21.779 --> 00:40:23.219
 just showing

00:40:23.219 --> 00:40:23.719
 up and being

00:40:23.719 --> 00:40:25.879
 together is how

00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:26.280
 we love

00:40:26.280 --> 00:40:26.760
 one another.

00:40:28.500 --> 00:40:29.700
 Something sweet

00:40:29.700 --> 00:40:30.840
 happens when

00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:31.840
 we're together

00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:32.860
 Sunday after

00:40:32.860 --> 00:40:34.099
 Sunday, and

00:40:34.099 --> 00:40:34.640
 we're singing

00:40:34.640 --> 00:40:35.519
 truth together,

00:40:35.680 --> 00:40:36.220
 we're under

00:40:36.220 --> 00:40:36.820
 God's word

00:40:36.820 --> 00:40:37.820
 together, we're

00:40:37.820 --> 00:40:38.800
 praying together,

00:40:39.300 --> 00:40:39.980
 we're doing

00:40:39.980 --> 00:40:41.039
 things together,

00:40:41.200 --> 00:40:41.740
 we're seeing

00:40:41.740 --> 00:40:42.360
 each other,

00:40:42.619 --> 00:40:43.300
 we're in each

00:40:43.300 --> 00:40:44.240
 other's presence,

00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:46.740
 we love one

00:40:46.740 --> 00:40:47.380
 another when we

00:40:47.380 --> 00:40:47.640
 gather.

00:40:47.820 --> 00:40:48.519
 Let me ask you

00:40:48.519 --> 00:40:49.019
 this question.

00:40:50.099 --> 00:40:50.940
 What would you

00:40:50.940 --> 00:40:51.400
 think of a

00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:52.019
 family member

00:40:52.019 --> 00:40:53.159
 who showed

00:40:53.159 --> 00:40:54.400
 up to maybe

00:40:54.400 --> 00:40:55.820
 one family

00:40:55.820 --> 00:40:57.019
 gathering every

00:40:57.019 --> 00:40:57.920
 ten years?

00:40:59.539 --> 00:41:00.500
 You'd be like,

00:41:00.579 --> 00:41:01.519
 oh, we're

00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:02.420
 related by blood,

00:41:02.539 --> 00:41:02.820
 but they're

00:41:02.820 --> 00:41:03.980
 functionally not

00:41:03.980 --> 00:41:04.579
 a part of the

00:41:04.579 --> 00:41:04.920
 family.

00:41:07.380 --> 00:41:08.519
 This gathering,

00:41:09.019 --> 00:41:09.900
 think of it as

00:41:09.900 --> 00:41:11.300
 our weekly family

00:41:11.300 --> 00:41:12.380
 gathering as a

00:41:12.380 --> 00:41:12.679
 church.

00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:14.139
 Don't miss it.

00:41:15.500 --> 00:41:16.659
 Love one another.

00:41:16.659 --> 00:41:18.219
 So don't think

00:41:18.219 --> 00:41:19.679
 about your coming

00:41:19.679 --> 00:41:20.519
 to church simply

00:41:20.519 --> 00:41:21.559
 as something that

00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:22.920
 you benefit from.

00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:24.639
 Think about it as

00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:25.440
 coming so that

00:41:25.440 --> 00:41:26.699
 others benefit too

00:41:26.699 --> 00:41:27.659
 just by you being

00:41:27.659 --> 00:41:27.920
 here.

00:41:28.739 --> 00:41:29.500
 How about that?

00:41:32.199 --> 00:41:33.339
 We'll experience

00:41:33.339 --> 00:41:33.799
 joy.

00:41:35.219 --> 00:41:35.639
 Do you know what

00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:36.559
 the second fruit of

00:41:36.559 --> 00:41:37.259
 the Spirit is?

00:41:39.500 --> 00:41:40.139
 Love.

00:41:41.639 --> 00:41:42.239
 Joy.

00:41:42.239 --> 00:41:42.359
 Joy.

00:41:45.299 --> 00:41:46.259
 Beloved of Jesus,

00:41:46.419 --> 00:41:47.199
 be loving one

00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:48.159
 another like Jesus.

00:41:48.659 --> 00:41:49.439
 It's required.

00:41:50.459 --> 00:41:51.339
 It's new.

00:41:51.699 --> 00:41:52.819
 It's Christ-like.

00:41:53.419 --> 00:41:54.899
 And it identifies

00:41:54.899 --> 00:41:56.719
 us as belonging

00:41:56.719 --> 00:41:57.659
 to Jesus.

00:41:59.019 --> 00:41:59.759
 It's not

00:41:59.759 --> 00:42:00.279
 complicated,

00:42:00.739 --> 00:42:01.859
 but it is hard

00:42:01.859 --> 00:42:02.619
 because you need

00:42:02.619 --> 00:42:03.739
 to die to yourself.

00:42:04.459 --> 00:42:05.859
 But it's for joy.

00:42:07.219 --> 00:42:08.159
 Treasuring Jesus

00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:08.699
 together.

00:42:08.899 --> 00:42:09.539
 It's a high and

00:42:09.539 --> 00:42:10.379
 glorious calling.

00:42:10.380 --> 00:42:12.119
 So the question

00:42:12.119 --> 00:42:13.059
 before us

00:42:13.059 --> 00:42:13.760
 this morning

00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:14.720
 is not

00:42:14.720 --> 00:42:17.079
 what do we want

00:42:17.079 --> 00:42:17.579
 our church

00:42:17.579 --> 00:42:18.559
 to be known for?

00:42:19.860 --> 00:42:20.960
 The question

00:42:20.960 --> 00:42:22.140
 is what does

00:42:22.140 --> 00:42:23.820
 Christ require

00:42:23.820 --> 00:42:24.539
 our church

00:42:24.539 --> 00:42:25.559
 to be known for?

00:42:26.940 --> 00:42:28.079
 Beloved of Christ,

00:42:29.160 --> 00:42:30.019
 be loving

00:42:30.019 --> 00:42:30.820
 one another

00:42:30.820 --> 00:42:32.000
 like Christ.

00:42:32.519 --> 00:42:33.280
 Let's pray together.

00:42:35.700 --> 00:42:36.740
 Lord Jesus,

00:42:36.739 --> 00:42:40.039
 help us

00:42:40.039 --> 00:42:42.000
 love one another.

00:42:43.959 --> 00:42:45.019
 We come up

00:42:45.019 --> 00:42:45.479
 short.

00:42:45.679 --> 00:42:46.319
 We hurt each

00:42:46.319 --> 00:42:47.159
 other often.

00:42:48.159 --> 00:42:49.919
 We drop

00:42:49.919 --> 00:42:51.339
 into selfish

00:42:51.339 --> 00:42:52.279
 motives.

00:42:53.359 --> 00:42:53.859
 Save us

00:42:53.859 --> 00:42:55.039
 from us.

00:42:56.599 --> 00:42:57.179
 And would you

00:42:57.179 --> 00:42:57.739
 pour out your

00:42:57.739 --> 00:42:58.719
 Spirit upon us

00:42:58.719 --> 00:42:59.359
 that we would

00:42:59.359 --> 00:43:00.359
 love one another

00:43:00.359 --> 00:43:01.799
 in a Christ-like

00:43:01.799 --> 00:43:02.159
 way.

00:43:02.459 --> 00:43:02.839
 In your name

00:43:02.839 --> 00:43:03.179
 we pray,

00:43:03.299 --> 00:43:03.519
 Jesus.

00:43:04.279 --> 00:43:04.559
 Amen.

00:43:04.559 --> 00:43:04.699
 Amen.

00:43:06.739 --> 00:43:07.739
 Amen.

00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:07.739


00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:08.819
 may

00:43:08.819 --> 00:43:09.739
!

00:43:09.739 --> 00:43:09.739


00:43:09.739 --> 00:43:09.739


00:43:09.739 --> 00:43:09.739


00:43:09.739 --> 00:43:10.899
 may

00:43:10.899 --> 00:43:10.899


00:43:10.899 --> 00:43:10.899


00:43:10.899 --> 00:43:10.899


00:43:10.899 --> 00:43:10.899


00:43:10.899 --> 00:43:10.899


00:43:10.899 --> 00:43:10.899


00:43:10.899 --> 00:43:10.899


00:43:10.899 --> 00:43:10.899


00:43:10.899 --> 00:43:10.899


00:43:10.899 --> 00:43:10.899


00:43:10.899 --> 00:43:10.899


00:43:10.899 --> 00:43:10.899


00:43:10.899 --> 00:43:10.899


00:43:10.899 --> 00:43:10.899
