00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:04.099
 Have you ever heard someone use the phrase,

00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:08.199
 I don't get mad, I just get even?

00:00:09.820 --> 00:00:14.120
 Now normally, if you hear somebody say that,

00:00:14.540 --> 00:00:16.080
 they're just joking, right?

00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:18.719
 Because I've said that to some of you.

00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:21.500
 Some of you have got the best of me

00:00:21.500 --> 00:00:23.500
 with some kind of smart-aleck comment

00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:25.140
 or some kind of practical joke.

00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:28.060
 I've just looked at you and told you,

00:00:28.060 --> 00:00:29.740
 I don't get mad, I get even.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.760
 Sometimes I try to get ahead even.

00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:35.119
 If we say those things to someone,

00:00:36.219 --> 00:00:41.399
 everybody knows you're just, you know, having fun, going on.

00:00:42.859 --> 00:00:44.359
 But there's many people in this world,

00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:49.600
 they may not say that, but they think that,

00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:51.379
 and they do that.

00:00:51.379 --> 00:00:58.219
 There are many people that the slightest offense

00:00:58.219 --> 00:01:01.719
 they're going to get revenge.

00:01:02.899 --> 00:01:07.340
 They're going to plot some way to retaliate

00:01:07.340 --> 00:01:12.180
 because they don't take anything off anyone.

00:01:12.180 --> 00:01:16.300
 Now I don't think many of us in this room,

00:01:18.140 --> 00:01:19.420
 at least lately,

00:01:21.420 --> 00:01:26.320
 have actually tried to do bodily harm to someone

00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:28.740
 out of revenge.

00:01:28.739 --> 00:01:31.500
 but I wonder,

00:01:31.500 --> 00:01:36.140
 have any of us,

00:01:36.859 --> 00:01:40.839
 by what we said,

00:01:41.500 --> 00:01:45.019
 tried to retaliate

00:01:45.019 --> 00:01:47.759
 or get revenge,

00:01:48.119 --> 00:01:51.439
 by what we said to them

00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:54.159
 or about them,

00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:57.099
 that was designed

00:01:57.099 --> 00:01:59.159
 to pay them back.

00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:01.099
 You know,

00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:02.359
 Jesus knew that

00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:04.420
 we all have a tendency

00:02:04.420 --> 00:02:06.879
 to be overly concerned

00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:09.560
 with my rights.

00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.699
 Jesus knew that

00:02:12.699 --> 00:02:14.560
 we could be easily offended

00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:18.080
 and want to pay people back.

00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:20.439
 So He addressed this issue

00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:22.020
 in the Sermon on the Mount,

00:02:22.699 --> 00:02:23.900
 Matthew chapter 5,

00:02:23.979 --> 00:02:25.219
 beginning in verse 38.

00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:27.500
 I want you to turn with me this morning.

00:02:27.620 --> 00:02:30.099
 This is actually a follow-up message

00:02:30.099 --> 00:02:32.699
 from what we saw two weeks ago

00:02:32.699 --> 00:02:34.300
 in Romans chapter 12.

00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:36.460
 Now if you were not here last week,

00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:37.620
 I wasn't here last week.

00:02:37.620 --> 00:02:39.819
 Jeff preached last week.

00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:41.960
 Somebody told me in the early service

00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:44.719
 that he did a real good job.

00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:46.080
 And I said,

00:02:46.140 --> 00:02:47.060
 well, I'm going to get the tape

00:02:47.060 --> 00:02:47.939
 and listen to it.

00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:48.240
 They said,

00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:49.099
 well, it wasn't that good.

00:02:49.140 --> 00:02:50.259
 Don't worry about it.

00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:52.240
 Nah, nah.

00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:53.300
 I'm going to get it.

00:02:53.340 --> 00:02:54.180
 I'm going to listen to it.

00:02:56.040 --> 00:02:57.040
 But two weeks ago,

00:02:57.259 --> 00:02:58.140
 last time I was here,

00:02:59.060 --> 00:03:00.800
 we looked at Romans chapter 12,

00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:02.780
 verses 17 through 21.

00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:06.379
 And what we read,

00:03:06.379 --> 00:03:07.460
 what we looked at,

00:03:07.620 --> 00:03:09.960
 it's just hard to do.

00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:14.319
 And so we need to come back this morning

00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.860
 and see that what we read last week

00:03:17.860 --> 00:03:20.640
 from Paul's letter

00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:24.500
 actually came from the teaching of Jesus.

00:03:25.860 --> 00:03:27.480
 So let's read what we saw last week

00:03:27.480 --> 00:03:28.860
 just to refresh our memories.

00:03:28.939 --> 00:03:29.659
 We're two weeks ago.

00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:31.900
 Romans 12, verses 17 through 21.

00:03:32.020 --> 00:03:32.500
 Look at it.

00:03:32.500 --> 00:03:33.360
 It'll be on the screen.

00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:37.020
 Repay no one evil for evil,

00:03:37.700 --> 00:03:42.600
 but give thought to do what is honorable or right

00:03:42.600 --> 00:03:44.380
 in the sight of all.

00:03:44.740 --> 00:03:45.640
 If possible,

00:03:46.040 --> 00:03:47.600
 so far as it depends on you,

00:03:48.040 --> 00:03:50.160
 live peaceably with all.

00:03:51.040 --> 00:03:51.500
 Beloved,

00:03:51.640 --> 00:03:53.040
 never avenge yourselves,

00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:55.679
 but leave it to the wrath of God.

00:03:56.219 --> 00:03:57.120
 For it is written,

00:03:57.560 --> 00:03:58.959
 vengeance is mine,

00:03:59.299 --> 00:04:00.659
 I will repay,

00:04:00.900 --> 00:04:01.680
 says the Lord.

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:03.340
 To the contrary,

00:04:04.019 --> 00:04:05.620
 if your enemy is hungry,

00:04:06.379 --> 00:04:07.019
 feed him.

00:04:07.340 --> 00:04:08.439
 If he is thirsty,

00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:10.019
 give him something to drink.

00:04:10.519 --> 00:04:11.859
 For by doing so,

00:04:12.239 --> 00:04:15.299
 you will heap burning coals on his head.

00:04:15.300 --> 00:04:17.980
 Do not be overcome by evil,

00:04:18.840 --> 00:04:21.620
 but overcome evil with good.

00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:25.379
 What Paul wrote

00:04:25.379 --> 00:04:29.939
 is based on what Jesus taught

00:04:29.939 --> 00:04:33.379
 about revenge and retaliation

00:04:33.379 --> 00:04:35.000
 in Matthew 5,

00:04:35.080 --> 00:04:37.139
 beginning in verse 38 through verse 42.

00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:41.639
 And what Jesus said

00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.639
 on further in chapter 5 of Matthew,

00:04:46.039 --> 00:04:48.300
 verses 43 through 48.

00:04:49.500 --> 00:04:51.959
 We're going to look at what Jesus said

00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:53.599
 about seeking revenge

00:04:53.599 --> 00:04:57.759
 and not retaliating this morning.

00:04:58.620 --> 00:04:59.819
 Next week,

00:05:00.219 --> 00:05:03.759
 we're going to look at how God allows us

00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:07.519
 at times to seek justice

00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.060
 for ourselves,

00:05:09.420 --> 00:05:11.939
 to protect our family,

00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.319
 to even protect ourselves

00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:20.500
 through in lawful ways,

00:05:22.159 --> 00:05:24.079
 through law enforcement,

00:05:24.459 --> 00:05:27.019
 government-ordained law enforcement.

00:05:27.860 --> 00:05:29.800
 We're going to even look at the subject next week

00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:31.620
 of self-defense

00:05:31.620 --> 00:05:35.500
 and concealed weapons permits.

00:05:37.100 --> 00:05:38.060
 We're going to look at

00:05:38.060 --> 00:05:40.660
 a Christian perspective on that.

00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.400
 Now, for some of you who know me,

00:05:44.460 --> 00:05:45.460
 a lot of you who know me,

00:05:46.340 --> 00:05:47.259
 I want you to understand.

00:05:48.819 --> 00:05:50.879
 We are not next week

00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:52.400
 going to come

00:05:52.400 --> 00:05:55.160
 and find all kinds of reasons

00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:57.480
 why we ought to be armed to the teeth

00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.180
 and find justification

00:06:00.180 --> 00:06:03.160
 to just not take anything off anyone.

00:06:03.960 --> 00:06:06.020
 That is not what we're going to do.

00:06:06.840 --> 00:06:07.600
 In fact,

00:06:09.180 --> 00:06:10.220
 the reason we're looking at

00:06:10.220 --> 00:06:11.340
 what we're looking at today,

00:06:12.259 --> 00:06:13.280
 two reasons.

00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:15.040
 What we're looking at today

00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:19.200
 is really helping us to understand

00:06:19.200 --> 00:06:20.480
 what we saw two weeks ago,

00:06:21.200 --> 00:06:24.160
 that the Lord Jesus Himself taught us

00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.480
 do not have this mentality of

00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:29.540
 I don't take anything off anyone.

00:06:31.380 --> 00:06:33.420
 I'm going to always get even.

00:06:34.520 --> 00:06:35.640
 That's totally wrong.

00:06:37.400 --> 00:06:39.220
 We're going to come back in two weeks

00:06:39.220 --> 00:06:40.900
 and look at Matthew chapter 5,

00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:43.720
 verses 43 through the end of the chapter

00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:45.420
 where Jesus talks about loving your enemies.

00:06:48.200 --> 00:06:49.260
 You hear what I'm saying?

00:06:50.260 --> 00:06:52.000
 Loving your enemies in two weeks.

00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.899
 Don't retaliate.

00:06:54.980 --> 00:06:57.439
 Don't have this vengeful mindset today.

00:06:59.959 --> 00:07:02.300
 But Christians can protect themselves.

00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:06.800
 That's what we'll look at next week.

00:07:08.220 --> 00:07:09.920
 We'll take it all together

00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:12.779
 to get a true understanding

00:07:12.779 --> 00:07:14.519
 of what the Bible teaches

00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:17.019
 about how we live in this world

00:07:17.019 --> 00:07:19.060
 and act and interact

00:07:19.060 --> 00:07:22.259
 with people who don't like us,

00:07:22.979 --> 00:07:25.319
 with people who might even want to hurt us,

00:07:25.939 --> 00:07:28.839
 with people who are just plain evil, period,

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.259
 and people who just want to persecute us

00:07:34.259 --> 00:07:35.819
 because we're Christians.

00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:37.799
 They're not always the same group,

00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:39.219
 not always the same person.

00:07:39.220 --> 00:07:42.040
 So, a big subject

00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.260
 that was introduced two weeks ago

00:07:44.260 --> 00:07:46.600
 that we just read from Romans 12.

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:47.560
 Keep that in mind.

00:07:48.840 --> 00:07:49.680
 Let's look now

00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:52.800
 at what Jesus says in Matthew 5, verse 38

00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:56.840
 in talking about revenge and retaliation.

00:07:58.120 --> 00:07:59.040
 Verse 38.

00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:01.440
 You have heard that it was said,

00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:04.300
 an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

00:08:04.300 --> 00:08:05.800
 But I say to you,

00:08:06.300 --> 00:08:08.300
 do not resist the one who is evil.

00:08:08.980 --> 00:08:11.220
 If anyone slaps you on the right cheek,

00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:13.579
 turn to him the other also.

00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:16.199
 And if anyone would sue you

00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:17.340
 and take your tunic,

00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:20.519
 let him have your cloak as well.

00:08:21.280 --> 00:08:23.780
 And if anyone forces you to go one mile,

00:08:24.500 --> 00:08:26.720
 go with him two miles.

00:08:27.780 --> 00:08:29.600
 Give to the one who begs from you

00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:32.560
 and do not refuse the one

00:08:32.560 --> 00:08:35.019
 who would borrow from you.

00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.759
 Jesus is talking about

00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:40.980
 doing some hard things here.

00:08:42.580 --> 00:08:43.659
 He's talking about

00:08:43.659 --> 00:08:44.379
 there are times

00:08:44.379 --> 00:08:46.980
 when we need to give up our rights.

00:08:48.980 --> 00:08:50.340
 There's times when we just

00:08:50.340 --> 00:08:53.139
 need to take an insult.

00:08:54.680 --> 00:08:56.660
 Not try to pay someone back.

00:08:56.659 --> 00:09:00.759
 Not try to do to people

00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.199
 what they do to us.

00:09:04.199 --> 00:09:05.579
 Jesus is calling us,

00:09:05.659 --> 00:09:06.259
 his followers,

00:09:07.219 --> 00:09:07.860
 to live

00:09:07.860 --> 00:09:11.240
 according to a higher standard

00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:13.439
 than people who are not Christians.

00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:15.860
 The idea is

00:09:15.860 --> 00:09:17.679
 we are to treat people better

00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:20.159
 than they treat us.

00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:23.740
 We are to learn to trust God

00:09:23.740 --> 00:09:24.899
 to take care of us.

00:09:24.899 --> 00:09:26.919
 But as we're going to see next week,

00:09:28.019 --> 00:09:31.199
 the way God may take care of us

00:09:31.199 --> 00:09:33.539
 is through law enforcement,

00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:38.019
 is through some form of self-defense,

00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.480
 through the carrying

00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:43.959
 or even use of a weapon.

00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:46.379
 But for now,

00:09:47.439 --> 00:09:49.000
 the focus is on

00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:50.460
 we need to learn

00:09:50.460 --> 00:09:52.120
 to exercise restraint.

00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:55.299
 We are not prepared

00:09:55.299 --> 00:09:56.179
 as Christians

00:09:56.179 --> 00:09:57.139
 to talk about

00:09:57.139 --> 00:09:58.220
 defending ourselves

00:09:58.220 --> 00:09:59.639
 until we first understand

00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:00.320
 the importance

00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.240
 of exercising restraint.

00:10:03.700 --> 00:10:04.759
 So let's look.

00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:07.039
 Number one,

00:10:07.139 --> 00:10:07.919
 the law of God

00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:09.179
 has always required

00:10:09.179 --> 00:10:09.779
 his people

00:10:09.779 --> 00:10:11.399
 to show restraint.

00:10:11.500 --> 00:10:12.539
 Look in verse 38.

00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:14.580
 You have heard

00:10:14.580 --> 00:10:15.279
 that it was said,

00:10:15.580 --> 00:10:16.460
 an eye for an eye

00:10:16.460 --> 00:10:17.799
 and a tooth for a tooth.

00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:19.539
 Jesus is referring

00:10:19.539 --> 00:10:20.919
 to a famous law

00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:22.439
 in verse 38 there.

00:10:22.699 --> 00:10:24.039
 The law of retaliation

00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:25.539
 or the law of retribution

00:10:25.539 --> 00:10:26.259
 it's called.

00:10:26.819 --> 00:10:27.919
 The Latin phrase

00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:29.379
 lex talionis

00:10:29.379 --> 00:10:31.459
 is found

00:10:31.459 --> 00:10:32.899
 in Exodus chapter 21,

00:10:33.099 --> 00:10:35.759
 Leviticus chapter 24,

00:10:36.319 --> 00:10:37.799
 and Deuteronomy chapter 19.

00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:40.899
 Two things

00:10:40.899 --> 00:10:42.259
 need to be understood

00:10:42.259 --> 00:10:43.419
 about this law

00:10:43.419 --> 00:10:44.179
 of retribution.

00:10:44.179 --> 00:10:45.599
 Number one,

00:10:46.139 --> 00:10:48.000
 it is prescriptive.

00:10:48.959 --> 00:10:50.159
 It describes

00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:52.139
 punishment

00:10:52.139 --> 00:10:54.299
 or retaliation

00:10:54.299 --> 00:10:55.319
 when offended.

00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:56.779
 It prescribes

00:10:56.779 --> 00:10:57.459
 what a person

00:10:57.459 --> 00:10:58.659
 can do

00:10:58.659 --> 00:11:00.179
 and in so doing

00:11:00.179 --> 00:11:01.079
 what you cannot do.

00:11:01.459 --> 00:11:02.000
 Number two,

00:11:02.620 --> 00:11:03.339
 it is also

00:11:03.339 --> 00:11:04.339
 restrictive.

00:11:05.219 --> 00:11:06.399
 It restricts

00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:07.139
 or limits

00:11:07.139 --> 00:11:08.019
 the punishment

00:11:08.019 --> 00:11:10.099
 or the retaliation.

00:11:10.959 --> 00:11:11.740
 This law

00:11:11.740 --> 00:11:12.240
 is intended

00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:13.700
 to prohibit

00:11:13.700 --> 00:11:14.419
 severe

00:11:14.419 --> 00:11:16.460
 or over punishment.

00:11:17.060 --> 00:11:18.120
 In the ancient world,

00:11:18.220 --> 00:11:18.820
 it would prevent

00:11:18.820 --> 00:11:19.860
 a family feud

00:11:19.860 --> 00:11:20.379
 perhaps

00:11:20.379 --> 00:11:21.620
 or even a war

00:11:21.620 --> 00:11:23.919
 between tribes

00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:24.720
 or clans.

00:11:24.860 --> 00:11:25.560
 For an example,

00:11:27.419 --> 00:11:28.860
 say John

00:11:28.860 --> 00:11:31.639
 gets in a fight

00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:32.519
 with your brother

00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:34.659
 and in the fight

00:11:34.659 --> 00:11:35.379
 he breaks

00:11:35.379 --> 00:11:36.899
 your brother's arm.

00:11:36.899 --> 00:11:40.079
 in the ancient world

00:11:40.079 --> 00:11:43.480
 what that was saying

00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:43.980
 is

00:11:43.980 --> 00:11:46.959
 you can retaliate

00:11:46.959 --> 00:11:48.980
 but if you

00:11:48.980 --> 00:11:49.639
 retaliate

00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:50.539
 against John,

00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:50.939
 against

00:11:50.939 --> 00:11:52.539
 John's family,

00:11:53.079 --> 00:11:54.980
 all you can do

00:11:54.980 --> 00:11:56.179
 is break

00:11:56.179 --> 00:11:56.720
 his arm.

00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:58.539
 You can't hurt

00:11:58.539 --> 00:11:58.759
 him

00:11:58.759 --> 00:11:59.860
 more.

00:12:00.340 --> 00:12:01.100
 You can't take it

00:12:01.100 --> 00:12:01.600
 out on his

00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:02.299
 family.

00:12:02.299 --> 00:12:04.859
 That was designed

00:12:04.859 --> 00:12:06.059
 to help

00:12:06.059 --> 00:12:07.219
 the situation.

00:12:08.439 --> 00:12:09.679
 It was not designed

00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:10.620
 to teach us

00:12:10.620 --> 00:12:11.719
 tit for tat.

00:12:12.379 --> 00:12:13.819
 It was never designed

00:12:13.819 --> 00:12:14.319
 to say,

00:12:14.539 --> 00:12:14.659
 alright,

00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:15.579
 somebody did this

00:12:15.579 --> 00:12:15.959
 to you,

00:12:16.179 --> 00:12:16.879
 now you go

00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:17.579
 and do it to them.

00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:18.479
 It was designed

00:12:18.479 --> 00:12:19.059
 to teach

00:12:19.059 --> 00:12:20.179
 if that person

00:12:20.179 --> 00:12:20.620
 did something

00:12:20.620 --> 00:12:21.059
 to you,

00:12:22.339 --> 00:12:23.379
 you've got to

00:12:23.379 --> 00:12:23.839
 limit

00:12:23.839 --> 00:12:25.459
 what you do

00:12:25.459 --> 00:12:25.959
 to them

00:12:25.959 --> 00:12:26.979
 to something

00:12:26.979 --> 00:12:28.039
 of an equal

00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:29.259
 measure.

00:12:29.259 --> 00:12:30.759
 the law

00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:31.200
 was given

00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:31.860
 also

00:12:31.860 --> 00:12:32.759
 to the Jewish

00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:33.519
 people as a

00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:34.000
 nation.

00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:35.659
 It was to be

00:12:35.659 --> 00:12:36.340
 enforced

00:12:36.340 --> 00:12:37.299
 by their

00:12:37.299 --> 00:12:39.019
 judicial system.

00:12:39.439 --> 00:12:40.139
 It was not

00:12:40.139 --> 00:12:41.000
 designed to be

00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:41.480
 carried out

00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:42.340
 by individuals.

00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:44.580
 So we need

00:12:44.580 --> 00:12:45.019
 to understand

00:12:45.019 --> 00:12:45.580
 the law

00:12:45.580 --> 00:12:45.960
 of God

00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:46.379
 has always

00:12:46.379 --> 00:12:46.860
 required

00:12:46.860 --> 00:12:47.480
 his people

00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:48.220
 to show

00:12:48.220 --> 00:12:49.120
 restraint.

00:12:49.500 --> 00:12:50.179
 This is talking

00:12:50.179 --> 00:12:50.860
 about ancient

00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:51.340
 people.

00:12:53.539 --> 00:12:54.179
 Restraint

00:12:54.179 --> 00:12:55.980
 among God's

00:12:55.980 --> 00:12:56.360
 people

00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.100
 has always

00:12:58.100 --> 00:12:58.639
 been the

00:12:58.639 --> 00:12:59.220
 norm

00:12:59.220 --> 00:13:02.519
 Let's look

00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:02.820
 on.

00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:04.379
 Jesus

00:13:04.379 --> 00:13:05.019
 responds

00:13:05.019 --> 00:13:05.399
 to this

00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:05.879
 get-even

00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:06.340
 attitude

00:13:06.340 --> 00:13:07.860
 by giving

00:13:07.860 --> 00:13:08.379
 us now

00:13:08.379 --> 00:13:09.600
 four examples

00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:10.379
 of how

00:13:10.379 --> 00:13:11.120
 his followers

00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:12.060
 should deal

00:13:12.060 --> 00:13:13.279
 with personal

00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:13.899
 violations.

00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:15.460
 Look at it

00:13:15.460 --> 00:13:15.720
 in verses

00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:16.340
 39 through

00:13:16.340 --> 00:13:16.820
 42

00:13:16.820 --> 00:13:17.660
 God's

00:13:17.660 --> 00:13:17.899
 people

00:13:17.899 --> 00:13:18.180
 should

00:13:18.180 --> 00:13:18.759
 demonstrate

00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:19.639
 loving

00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:20.879
 restraint.

00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:22.960
 Before we

00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:23.300
 get into

00:13:23.300 --> 00:13:23.800
 that I want

00:13:23.800 --> 00:13:24.180
 to clarify

00:13:24.180 --> 00:13:24.660
 something.

00:13:27.139 --> 00:13:27.420
 Jesus

00:13:27.420 --> 00:13:28.060
 did not

00:13:28.060 --> 00:13:28.620
 teach

00:13:28.620 --> 00:13:28.720
 teach.

00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:30.320
 Paul did

00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:30.840
 not teach

00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:31.200
 in Romans

00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:31.700
 12 or

00:13:31.700 --> 00:13:32.440
 anywhere else

00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:34.080
 that God's

00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:35.000
 people are

00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:36.659
 not ever

00:13:36.659 --> 00:13:38.440
 to punish

00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:38.840
 evil.

00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:41.139
 God's people

00:13:41.139 --> 00:13:42.039
 are not taught

00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:42.820
 to just let

00:13:42.820 --> 00:13:44.200
 evil and wrong

00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:45.139
 and injustice

00:13:45.139 --> 00:13:46.080
 go.

00:13:47.539 --> 00:13:48.360
 We're going to

00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:49.019
 look in detail

00:13:49.019 --> 00:13:49.639
 at that next

00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:50.019
 week.

00:13:50.019 --> 00:13:52.039
 But verse

00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:53.539
 39 is not

00:13:53.539 --> 00:13:55.480
 teaching that

00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:56.100
 Christians can

00:13:56.100 --> 00:13:56.799
 never defend

00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:59.019
 themselves or

00:13:59.019 --> 00:14:01.620
 their family or

00:14:01.620 --> 00:14:03.319
 be a policeman or

00:14:03.319 --> 00:14:04.539
 in the military or

00:14:04.539 --> 00:14:06.879
 use the police or

00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:07.419
 military.

00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:09.779
 God has

00:14:09.779 --> 00:14:11.720
 established laws

00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:13.079
 and principles

00:14:13.079 --> 00:14:14.879
 that actually

00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:16.259
 require us as

00:14:16.259 --> 00:14:17.519
 people to

00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:18.679
 oppose evil

00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:20.220
 and to

00:14:20.220 --> 00:14:20.700
 see that

00:14:20.700 --> 00:14:21.879
 evildoers

00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:23.139
 are

00:14:23.139 --> 00:14:24.120
 restrained

00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:25.439
 and punished

00:14:25.439 --> 00:14:26.620
 and sometimes

00:14:26.620 --> 00:14:27.379
 that may be

00:14:27.379 --> 00:14:28.120
 the ultimate

00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:29.279
 punishment

00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:30.720
 or exercise

00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:31.759
 of force

00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:32.439
 slash

00:14:32.439 --> 00:14:33.659
 restraint.

00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:35.460
 I think it's

00:14:35.460 --> 00:14:36.019
 important that we

00:14:36.019 --> 00:14:36.340
 look at the

00:14:36.340 --> 00:14:37.059
 context of what

00:14:37.059 --> 00:14:37.620
 we're reading this

00:14:37.620 --> 00:14:37.819
 morning.

00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:38.379
 We're in

00:14:38.379 --> 00:14:38.960
 Matthew chapter

00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:39.480
 5.

00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:40.799
 We're in the

00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:41.519
 Sermon on the

00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:43.259
 Mount and in

00:14:43.259 --> 00:14:43.840
 Matthew chapter

00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:45.019
 5 beginning in

00:14:45.019 --> 00:14:46.019
 verse 12

00:14:46.019 --> 00:14:48.220
 rather excuse

00:14:48.220 --> 00:14:49.399
 me verse 17

00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:51.720
 Jesus starts

00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:52.419
 talking about the

00:14:52.419 --> 00:14:52.939
 Old Testament

00:14:52.939 --> 00:14:53.360
 law.

00:14:54.019 --> 00:14:54.500
 He says do

00:14:54.500 --> 00:14:55.139
 not think I

00:14:55.139 --> 00:14:55.600
 have come to

00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:56.740
 abolish the law

00:14:56.740 --> 00:14:57.500
 or the prophets

00:14:57.500 --> 00:14:58.319
 I've not come to

00:14:58.319 --> 00:14:59.620
 abolish them but

00:14:59.620 --> 00:15:01.259
 to fulfill them.

00:15:02.460 --> 00:15:02.980
 And then

00:15:02.980 --> 00:15:03.919
 beginning in

00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:05.299
 verse 21

00:15:05.299 --> 00:15:07.899
 he starts in

00:15:07.899 --> 00:15:08.699
 his teaching

00:15:08.699 --> 00:15:10.379
 pointing out

00:15:10.379 --> 00:15:10.899
 some of the

00:15:10.899 --> 00:15:11.620
 things that the

00:15:11.620 --> 00:15:12.279
 Old Testament

00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:13.360
 taught

00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.039
 or some of

00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:16.440
 the things

00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:16.759
 that the

00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:17.279
 people

00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:18.759
 thought

00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:20.019
 that the

00:15:20.019 --> 00:15:20.560
 Old Testament

00:15:20.560 --> 00:15:20.980
 taught.

00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:22.639
 And so

00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:24.460
 Jesus talked

00:15:24.460 --> 00:15:25.899
 in verse 21

00:15:25.899 --> 00:15:26.320
 there about

00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:26.700
 anger.

00:15:27.060 --> 00:15:27.259
 You have

00:15:27.259 --> 00:15:27.759
 heard that it

00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:28.379
 was said to

00:15:28.379 --> 00:15:28.919
 those of

00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:29.680
 old you

00:15:29.680 --> 00:15:30.220
 shall not

00:15:30.220 --> 00:15:30.840
 murder and

00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:31.360
 so forth.

00:15:31.860 --> 00:15:32.200
 Look in

00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:32.960
 verse 27.

00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:33.440
 You have

00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:33.800
 heard that it

00:15:33.800 --> 00:15:34.460
 was said you

00:15:34.460 --> 00:15:34.940
 shall not

00:15:34.940 --> 00:15:35.800
 commit adultery

00:15:35.800 --> 00:15:37.200
 but I say

00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:37.800
 to you

00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:40.379
 that everyone

00:15:40.379 --> 00:15:42.879
 who looks

00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:43.199
 to you

00:15:43.199 --> 00:15:43.439
 who looks

00:15:43.439 --> 00:15:43.740
 to you

00:15:43.740 --> 00:15:44.459
 fulfilling the

00:15:44.459 --> 00:15:44.839
 Old Testament

00:15:44.839 --> 00:15:45.199
 law.

00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:46.919
 He is either

00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:47.679
 showing a

00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:48.159
 deeper

00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:49.059
 understanding

00:15:49.059 --> 00:15:49.559
 of it

00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:50.379
 or he's

00:15:50.379 --> 00:15:51.019
 correcting

00:15:51.019 --> 00:15:53.139
 a misunderstanding

00:15:53.139 --> 00:15:54.699
 by some of

00:15:54.699 --> 00:15:55.139
 those Jewish

00:15:55.139 --> 00:15:55.799
 leaders of the

00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:56.599
 day who were

00:15:56.599 --> 00:15:57.259
 leading people

00:15:57.259 --> 00:15:57.719
 astray.

00:15:59.339 --> 00:15:59.579
 And so

00:15:59.579 --> 00:15:59.879
 for an

00:15:59.879 --> 00:16:00.240
 example

00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:02.279
 in verse

00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:02.919
 27

00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:04.179
 he says

00:16:04.179 --> 00:16:04.500
 you've heard

00:16:04.500 --> 00:16:04.740
 that it

00:16:04.740 --> 00:16:05.099
 said you

00:16:05.099 --> 00:16:05.419
 shall not

00:16:05.419 --> 00:16:06.059
 commit adultery

00:16:06.059 --> 00:16:06.759
 but I say

00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:07.019
 to you

00:16:07.019 --> 00:16:07.439
 that everyone

00:16:07.439 --> 00:16:07.959
 who looks

00:16:07.959 --> 00:16:08.359
 at a woman

00:16:08.359 --> 00:16:09.000
 with lustful

00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:09.359
 intent

00:16:09.359 --> 00:16:10.199
 has already

00:16:10.199 --> 00:16:11.079
 committed adultery

00:16:11.079 --> 00:16:11.679
 with her in his

00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:12.059
 heart.

00:16:13.339 --> 00:16:13.859
 Look at the

00:16:13.859 --> 00:16:14.399
 next verse.

00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:16.039
 If your right

00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:17.059
 eye causes you

00:16:17.059 --> 00:16:17.579
 to sin

00:16:17.579 --> 00:16:18.759
 tear it out

00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:19.619
 and throw it

00:16:19.619 --> 00:16:20.079
 away

00:16:20.079 --> 00:16:20.779
 for it is

00:16:20.779 --> 00:16:21.479
 better that you

00:16:21.479 --> 00:16:22.439
 lose one of

00:16:22.439 --> 00:16:23.059
 your members

00:16:23.059 --> 00:16:23.719
 than your whole

00:16:23.719 --> 00:16:24.459
 body be thrown

00:16:24.459 --> 00:16:24.979
 into hell.

00:16:25.939 --> 00:16:26.299
 Same thing

00:16:26.299 --> 00:16:26.959
 about your hand.

00:16:27.199 --> 00:16:27.699
 Your hand

00:16:27.699 --> 00:16:28.299
 causes you to sin

00:16:28.299 --> 00:16:28.939
 cut it off.

00:16:31.239 --> 00:16:32.079
 I think

00:16:32.079 --> 00:16:32.659
 everyone in this

00:16:32.659 --> 00:16:33.519
 room understands

00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:35.119
 Jesus is using

00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:36.200
 hyperbole

00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:37.960
 intended

00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:39.320
 exaggeration

00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:39.799
 to make his

00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:40.159
 point.

00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:41.960
 Jesus is trying

00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:42.399
 to teach

00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:43.139
 adultery is

00:16:43.139 --> 00:16:43.500
 more than

00:16:43.500 --> 00:16:43.799
 just a

00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:44.620
 physical act.

00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:46.600
 Before adultery

00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:47.240
 ever takes

00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:47.980
 place in a

00:16:47.980 --> 00:16:48.620
 bed it takes

00:16:48.620 --> 00:16:49.039
 place in

00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:49.560
 someone's

00:16:49.560 --> 00:16:50.299
 mind

00:16:50.299 --> 00:16:51.740
 in their

00:16:51.740 --> 00:16:52.639
 thoughts.

00:16:54.560 --> 00:16:54.860
 And so

00:16:54.860 --> 00:16:55.360
 he says

00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:56.600
 it would be

00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:57.039
 better for you

00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:57.620
 to gouge

00:16:57.620 --> 00:16:58.139
 out your

00:16:58.139 --> 00:16:58.620
 eye

00:16:58.620 --> 00:17:01.220
 if it's

00:17:01.220 --> 00:17:01.680
 causing you

00:17:01.680 --> 00:17:02.039
 to lust

00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:02.259
 is the

00:17:02.259 --> 00:17:02.720
 implication.

00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:05.559
 But is

00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:05.839
 that what

00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:06.059
 he really

00:17:06.059 --> 00:17:06.559
 means?

00:17:07.979 --> 00:17:08.759
 Every man

00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:09.039
 in here

00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:09.539
 knows you

00:17:09.539 --> 00:17:10.039
 can gouge

00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:10.519
 out both

00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:11.099
 eyes you

00:17:11.099 --> 00:17:11.539
 can still

00:17:11.539 --> 00:17:12.079
 lust.

00:17:13.659 --> 00:17:14.219
 It's in

00:17:14.219 --> 00:17:14.759
 your mind

00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:15.099
 it's in

00:17:15.099 --> 00:17:15.579
 your heart

00:17:15.579 --> 00:17:16.500
 it's not

00:17:16.500 --> 00:17:16.759
 in your

00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:17.119
 eye.

00:17:19.259 --> 00:17:20.000
 Jesus is

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:20.519
 using an

00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:21.000
 exaggerated

00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:22.299
 statement to

00:17:22.299 --> 00:17:22.739
 make the

00:17:22.739 --> 00:17:23.199
 point

00:17:23.199 --> 00:17:25.859
 lust or

00:17:25.859 --> 00:17:26.699
 any sin

00:17:26.699 --> 00:17:27.139
 is so

00:17:27.139 --> 00:17:28.579
 serious you

00:17:28.579 --> 00:17:28.879
 need to

00:17:28.879 --> 00:17:29.879
 take extreme

00:17:29.879 --> 00:17:31.419
 measures to

00:17:31.419 --> 00:17:32.059
 make sure you

00:17:32.059 --> 00:17:32.679
 don't give in

00:17:32.679 --> 00:17:32.859
 to the

00:17:32.859 --> 00:17:33.339
 temptation.

00:17:33.339 --> 00:17:35.199
 You need

00:17:35.199 --> 00:17:35.399
 to do

00:17:35.399 --> 00:17:35.819
 whatever is

00:17:35.819 --> 00:17:36.339
 necessary.

00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:38.119
 Radical

00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:39.119
 action

00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:41.059
 to avoid

00:17:41.059 --> 00:17:42.559
 sin.

00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:44.559
 Disobeying

00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:45.119
 God's

00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:45.720
 word.

00:17:46.679 --> 00:17:47.099
 That's what

00:17:47.099 --> 00:17:47.500
 he's talking

00:17:47.500 --> 00:17:47.819
 about.

00:17:48.819 --> 00:17:49.500
 If you

00:17:49.500 --> 00:17:50.099
 carry that

00:17:50.099 --> 00:17:50.519
 over through

00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:51.059
 everything else

00:17:51.059 --> 00:17:51.919
 he says here

00:17:51.919 --> 00:17:52.299
 in Matthew

00:17:52.299 --> 00:17:53.099
 chapter 5

00:17:53.099 --> 00:17:55.019
 he begins

00:17:55.019 --> 00:17:56.519
 Matthew 5

00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:57.220
 talks about

00:17:57.220 --> 00:17:57.740
 the law

00:17:57.740 --> 00:17:58.720
 verse 17

00:17:58.720 --> 00:17:59.519
 then in

00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:00.299
 verse 21

00:18:00.299 --> 00:18:01.480
 for the rest

00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:01.980
 of the chapter

00:18:01.980 --> 00:18:02.459
 he says

00:18:02.460 --> 00:18:02.940
 you have

00:18:02.940 --> 00:18:03.319
 heard that

00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:03.539
 it was

00:18:03.539 --> 00:18:03.920
 said

00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:04.740
 but I

00:18:04.740 --> 00:18:05.079
 say to

00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:05.259
 you

00:18:05.259 --> 00:18:05.660
 or something

00:18:05.660 --> 00:18:06.220
 like that.

00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:07.680
 When we

00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:08.000
 get to

00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:08.420
 what we've

00:18:08.420 --> 00:18:09.100
 read here

00:18:09.100 --> 00:18:11.740
 back in

00:18:11.740 --> 00:18:12.279
 verse 30

00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:12.579
 now

00:18:12.579 --> 00:18:14.700
 39

00:18:14.700 --> 00:18:16.200
 but I

00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:16.620
 say to

00:18:16.620 --> 00:18:16.960
 you

00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:18.440
 do not

00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:18.960
 resist

00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:19.500
 the one

00:18:19.500 --> 00:18:19.860
 who is

00:18:19.860 --> 00:18:20.259
 evil

00:18:20.259 --> 00:18:24.660
 that is

00:18:24.660 --> 00:18:25.079
 not a

00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:25.420
 blanket

00:18:25.420 --> 00:18:25.980
 statement

00:18:25.980 --> 00:18:27.700
 that Christians

00:18:27.700 --> 00:18:28.640
 are to be

00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:29.660
 the doormat

00:18:29.660 --> 00:18:32.400
 for every

00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:33.200
 evil person

00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:33.560
 who wants

00:18:33.560 --> 00:18:33.779
 to do

00:18:33.779 --> 00:18:34.200
 them harm

00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:34.460
 in the

00:18:34.460 --> 00:18:34.820
 world.

00:18:37.220 --> 00:18:37.759
 You

00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:38.100
 understand

00:18:38.100 --> 00:18:38.779
 the rationale

00:18:38.779 --> 00:18:39.380
 here.

00:18:41.019 --> 00:18:41.779
 We'll talk

00:18:41.779 --> 00:18:42.080
 about it

00:18:42.080 --> 00:18:43.200
 more next

00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:43.600
 week.

00:18:44.580 --> 00:18:45.140
 Now

00:18:45.140 --> 00:18:45.660
 with this

00:18:45.660 --> 00:18:46.180
 clarification

00:18:46.180 --> 00:18:47.700
 let's see

00:18:47.700 --> 00:18:48.259
 how we need

00:18:48.259 --> 00:18:48.820
 to develop

00:18:48.820 --> 00:18:49.480
 loving

00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:50.200
 restraint

00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:51.900
 in

00:18:51.900 --> 00:18:52.580
 situations

00:18:52.580 --> 00:18:53.320
 involving

00:18:53.320 --> 00:18:54.360
 people who

00:18:54.360 --> 00:18:55.920
 oppose us

00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:56.240
 in some

00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:56.480
 way.

00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:57.080
 First

00:18:57.080 --> 00:18:57.720
 verse 39

00:18:57.720 --> 00:18:58.140
 the last

00:18:58.140 --> 00:18:58.440
 part.

00:18:58.980 --> 00:18:59.299
 We need

00:18:59.299 --> 00:18:59.600
 to show

00:18:59.600 --> 00:19:00.220
 restraint

00:19:00.220 --> 00:19:01.140
 when responding

00:19:01.140 --> 00:19:02.339
 to insult.

00:19:02.819 --> 00:19:03.200
 Look at

00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:03.480
 the last

00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:03.740
 part of

00:19:03.740 --> 00:19:04.420
 verse 39.

00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:05.860
 I say

00:19:05.860 --> 00:19:06.180
 to you

00:19:06.180 --> 00:19:06.720
 do not

00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:07.000
 resist

00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:07.259
 the one

00:19:07.259 --> 00:19:07.500
 who is

00:19:07.500 --> 00:19:07.779
 evil

00:19:07.779 --> 00:19:08.180
 but if

00:19:08.180 --> 00:19:08.460
 anyone

00:19:08.460 --> 00:19:09.100
 slaps

00:19:09.100 --> 00:19:09.339
 you

00:19:09.339 --> 00:19:09.660
 on the

00:19:09.660 --> 00:19:10.079
 right

00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:10.660
 cheek

00:19:10.660 --> 00:19:11.980
 turn

00:19:11.980 --> 00:19:12.660
 to him

00:19:12.660 --> 00:19:13.380
 the other

00:19:13.380 --> 00:19:14.360
 also.

00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:16.500
 What

00:19:16.500 --> 00:19:16.980
 Jesus is

00:19:16.980 --> 00:19:17.400
 describing

00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:17.799
 here

00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:18.660
 to the

00:19:18.660 --> 00:19:18.940
 first

00:19:18.940 --> 00:19:19.360
 century

00:19:19.360 --> 00:19:19.920
 audience

00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:20.400
 who heard

00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:20.620
 him

00:19:20.620 --> 00:19:21.259
 say this

00:19:21.259 --> 00:19:21.880
 they

00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:22.380
 understood

00:19:22.380 --> 00:19:23.680
 he's

00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:23.980
 talking

00:19:23.980 --> 00:19:24.299
 about

00:19:24.299 --> 00:19:24.519
 a

00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:25.140
 personal

00:19:25.140 --> 00:19:26.299
 insult.

00:19:26.299 --> 00:19:28.259
 to be

00:19:28.259 --> 00:19:28.639
 struck

00:19:28.639 --> 00:19:29.079
 on the

00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:29.799
 he's

00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:29.899
 not

00:19:29.899 --> 00:19:30.159
 talking

00:19:30.159 --> 00:19:30.379
 about

00:19:30.379 --> 00:19:30.639
 being

00:19:30.639 --> 00:19:30.960
 hit

00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:31.319
 with a

00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:31.720
 fist

00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:32.319
 upside

00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:32.559
 the

00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:32.960
 head

00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:34.819
 Jesus

00:19:34.819 --> 00:19:35.079
 is

00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:35.500
 describing

00:19:35.500 --> 00:19:36.259
 somebody

00:19:36.259 --> 00:19:37.000
 said

00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:37.159
 their

00:19:37.159 --> 00:19:37.500

00:19:39.339 --> 00:19:39.819
 standing

00:19:39.819 --> 00:19:40.159
 looking

00:19:40.159 --> 00:19:40.419
 this

00:19:40.419 --> 00:19:40.759
 way

00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:42.899
 for me

00:19:42.899 --> 00:19:43.139
 to hit

00:19:43.139 --> 00:19:43.319

00:19:45.399 --> 00:19:45.740
 people

00:19:45.740 --> 00:19:45.899
 are

00:19:45.899 --> 00:19:46.119
 right

00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:46.440
 handed

00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:47.980

00:19:49.259 --> 00:19:49.359

 Jesus

00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:52.680

00:19:53.220 --> 00:19:53.440
 in that

00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:54.259
 day

00:19:54.259 --> 00:19:54.579
 understood

00:19:54.579 --> 00:19:56.099
 as a

00:19:56.099 --> 00:19:56.379
 form

00:19:56.379 --> 00:19:56.539
 of

00:19:57.099 --> 00:19:57.759
 by

 not

 you

00:20:11.399 --> 00:20:12.000
 angry

00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:13.119
 it's

 intended

00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:13.799
 to

 insult

00:20:14.700 --> 00:20:15.019

00:20:15.019 --> 00:20:17.180
 Jesus

00:20:17.180 --> 00:20:17.460
 is

00:20:17.460 --> 00:20:17.960
 describing

00:20:24.740 --> 00:20:25.120

 our

00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:40.779
 insult

00:23:34.879 --> 00:23:35.539
 taking the

00:23:35.539 --> 00:23:35.980
 initiative

00:23:35.980 --> 00:23:36.960
 there

00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:38.839
 now again

00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:39.359
 understand

00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:40.359
 this is not

00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:40.900
 a blanket

00:23:40.900 --> 00:23:41.559
 statement

00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:43.500
 Jesus is

00:23:43.500 --> 00:23:44.079
 not teaching

00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:44.640
 us that we

00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:45.019
 should let

00:23:45.019 --> 00:23:46.240
 every unethical

00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:46.720
 person

00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:47.299
 that comes

00:23:47.299 --> 00:23:47.700
 along

00:23:47.700 --> 00:23:48.700
 sue us

00:23:48.700 --> 00:23:49.420
 and take

00:23:49.420 --> 00:23:49.940
 everything you

00:23:49.940 --> 00:23:50.240
 have

00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:50.879
 in fact

00:23:50.879 --> 00:23:51.379
 you can only

00:23:51.379 --> 00:23:51.640
 do that

00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:52.099
 one time

00:23:52.099 --> 00:23:53.059
 couldn't you

00:23:53.059 --> 00:23:54.720
 one person

00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:55.099
 comes

00:23:55.099 --> 00:23:55.559
 sues you

00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:55.759
 takes

00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:56.220
 everything you

00:23:56.220 --> 00:23:56.460
 have

00:23:56.460 --> 00:23:56.720
 well you

00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:57.019
 don't have

00:23:57.019 --> 00:23:57.259
 anything

00:23:57.259 --> 00:23:57.759
 else

00:23:57.759 --> 00:23:59.880
 that's not

00:23:59.880 --> 00:24:00.140
 what he's

00:24:00.140 --> 00:24:00.740
 talking about

00:24:00.740 --> 00:24:02.660
 Jesus is

00:24:02.660 --> 00:24:02.940
 trying to

00:24:02.940 --> 00:24:03.220
 make the

00:24:03.220 --> 00:24:03.620
 point

00:24:03.620 --> 00:24:04.400
 throughout

00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:04.880
 this whole

00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:05.480
 section

00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:07.240
 that our

00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:07.980
 rights

00:24:07.980 --> 00:24:09.240
 our

00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:10.299
 personal

00:24:10.299 --> 00:24:11.519
 comfort

00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:13.240
 must not

00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:13.539
 be the

00:24:13.539 --> 00:24:14.059
 consuming

00:24:14.059 --> 00:24:14.860
 force of

00:24:14.860 --> 00:24:15.360
 our life

00:24:15.360 --> 00:24:16.100
 everything

00:24:16.100 --> 00:24:16.620
 can't be

00:24:16.620 --> 00:24:17.380
 about me

00:24:17.380 --> 00:24:18.640
 and mine

00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:20.180
 that's not

00:24:20.180 --> 00:24:20.839
 the idea

00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:21.620
 that's not

00:24:21.620 --> 00:24:22.720
 the mentality

00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:24.259
 of a follower

00:24:24.259 --> 00:24:24.740
 of Jesus

00:24:24.740 --> 00:24:25.279
 he's telling

00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:25.600
 us

00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:26.679
 we can see

00:24:26.679 --> 00:24:26.959
 that a little

00:24:26.959 --> 00:24:27.519
 bit clearer

00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:28.179
 in the next

00:24:28.179 --> 00:24:28.619
 example

00:24:28.619 --> 00:24:28.919
 look at

00:24:28.919 --> 00:24:29.519
 verse 41

00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:30.799
 we need to

00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:31.699
 show restraint

00:24:31.699 --> 00:24:32.599
 when responding

00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:33.959
 to oppression

00:24:33.959 --> 00:24:35.099
 he says in

00:24:35.099 --> 00:24:35.599
 verse 41

00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:36.299
 and if anyone

00:24:36.299 --> 00:24:36.980
 forces you to

00:24:36.980 --> 00:24:37.659
 go one mile

00:24:37.659 --> 00:24:38.779
 go with him

00:24:38.779 --> 00:24:39.839
 two miles

00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:41.519
 in those days

00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:42.419
 a Roman soldier

00:24:42.419 --> 00:24:43.599
 could require

00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:44.839
 a citizen

00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:46.339
 to make him

00:24:46.339 --> 00:24:47.000
 carry his

00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:47.480
 backpack

00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:48.959
 for one mile

00:24:48.959 --> 00:24:50.839
 and then

00:24:50.839 --> 00:24:51.619
 that was it

00:24:51.619 --> 00:24:52.119
 you couldn't

00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:52.980
 require

00:24:52.980 --> 00:24:54.079
 the second

00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:54.379
 mile

00:24:54.380 --> 00:24:55.860
 Jesus says

00:24:55.860 --> 00:24:56.140
 when that

00:24:56.140 --> 00:24:56.420
 happens

00:24:56.420 --> 00:24:56.800
 don't just

00:24:56.800 --> 00:24:57.120
 go one

00:24:57.120 --> 00:24:57.440
 mile

00:24:57.440 --> 00:24:58.580
 go

00:24:58.580 --> 00:24:59.940
 two

00:24:59.940 --> 00:25:01.940
 don't just

00:25:01.940 --> 00:25:02.280
 do the

00:25:02.280 --> 00:25:02.740
 minimum

00:25:02.740 --> 00:25:04.640
 do

00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:05.860
 more

00:25:05.860 --> 00:25:06.880
 Jesus is

00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:07.140
 saying

00:25:07.140 --> 00:25:08.300
 let's try

00:25:08.300 --> 00:25:08.880
 to apply

00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:09.440
 this

00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:11.440
 at your

00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:12.080
 work

00:25:12.080 --> 00:25:13.640
 are you

00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:14.200
 known as

00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:14.580
 someone

00:25:14.580 --> 00:25:15.660
 who only

00:25:15.660 --> 00:25:16.320
 does the

00:25:16.320 --> 00:25:16.880
 minimum

00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:18.860
 in order to

00:25:18.860 --> 00:25:19.220
 keep your

00:25:19.220 --> 00:25:19.760
 job

00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:22.220
 are you

00:25:22.220 --> 00:25:22.940
 always the

00:25:22.940 --> 00:25:23.839
 last one

00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:24.259
 to get

00:25:24.259 --> 00:25:24.680
 there

00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:26.700
 and always

00:25:26.700 --> 00:25:27.339
 the first

00:25:27.339 --> 00:25:27.799
 one

00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:28.859
 to leave

00:25:28.859 --> 00:25:31.319
 do you

00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:31.660
 always

00:25:31.660 --> 00:25:32.519
 insist

00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:33.099
 on

00:25:33.099 --> 00:25:34.299
 taking

00:25:34.299 --> 00:25:34.680
 your

00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:35.440
 break

00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:36.480
 or lunch

00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:37.700
 at the

00:25:37.700 --> 00:25:38.460
 exact minute

00:25:38.460 --> 00:25:39.579
 that it's

00:25:39.579 --> 00:25:40.200
 scheduled

00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:41.879
 even if it

00:25:41.879 --> 00:25:43.339
 inconveniences

00:25:43.339 --> 00:25:44.420
 your co-workers

00:25:44.420 --> 00:25:45.799
 who are doing

00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:46.539
 something with you

00:25:46.539 --> 00:25:47.480
 let me give you an

00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:47.920
 example

00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:49.180
 many years ago

00:25:49.180 --> 00:25:50.200
 Lisa worked with a lady

00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:51.240
 they worked

00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:51.960
 together

00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:54.500
 and when break time

00:25:54.500 --> 00:25:55.119
 came

00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:56.440
 let's say it was

00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:57.019
 10 a.m.

00:25:57.099 --> 00:25:58.019
 no matter what was

00:25:58.019 --> 00:25:58.680
 going on

00:25:58.680 --> 00:25:59.879
 no matter how urgent

00:25:59.879 --> 00:26:00.480
 it was

00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:01.440
 no matter how many

00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:02.200
 other people were

00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:02.639
 involved

00:26:02.639 --> 00:26:03.680
 when break time

00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:04.519
 came this person

00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:05.519
 stopped and went on

00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:05.819
 break

00:26:05.819 --> 00:26:06.599
 same thing about

00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:07.159
 lunch

00:26:07.159 --> 00:26:08.779
 this person was only

00:26:08.779 --> 00:26:09.220
 concerned about

00:26:09.220 --> 00:26:09.799
 themselves

00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:11.819
 this person didn't

00:26:11.819 --> 00:26:12.619
 care about their

00:26:12.619 --> 00:26:13.220
 work

00:26:13.220 --> 00:26:14.339
 didn't care about

00:26:14.339 --> 00:26:15.399
 their co-workers

00:26:15.399 --> 00:26:18.179
 that's what Jesus

00:26:18.179 --> 00:26:19.639
 is talking about

00:26:19.639 --> 00:26:19.939
 here

00:26:19.939 --> 00:26:22.759
 does your

00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:23.379
 employer

00:26:23.379 --> 00:26:25.039
 do your

00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:25.980
 co-workers

00:26:25.980 --> 00:26:27.639
 see

00:26:27.639 --> 00:26:29.319
 that you as a

00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:29.759
 Christian

00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:31.119
 member of this

00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:31.679
 church or some

00:26:31.679 --> 00:26:32.319
 other church

00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:34.199
 that they see

00:26:34.199 --> 00:26:34.480
 that

00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:36.259
 by just observing

00:26:36.259 --> 00:26:36.819
 you at work

00:26:36.819 --> 00:26:37.879
 that you really do

00:26:37.879 --> 00:26:38.559
 care about your

00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:39.179
 job

00:26:39.179 --> 00:26:40.559
 and you are

00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:41.199
 willing to go

00:26:41.199 --> 00:26:42.240
 the second mile

00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:43.139
 in order to do

00:26:43.139 --> 00:26:44.039
 a good job

00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:45.619
 and let's just

00:26:45.619 --> 00:26:46.859
 think for a moment

00:26:46.859 --> 00:26:48.240
 we're supposed to

00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:48.799
 do everything we do

00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:49.159
 as a Christian

00:26:49.159 --> 00:26:49.779
 for the glory of

00:26:49.779 --> 00:26:50.099
 God

00:26:50.099 --> 00:26:52.119
 Paul even says

00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:52.680
 in the book of

00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:53.559
 Colossians in third

00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:54.819
 chapter that we're

00:26:54.819 --> 00:26:55.619
 supposed to do

00:26:55.619 --> 00:26:56.519
 our work as

00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:58.359
 employees as if

00:26:58.359 --> 00:26:58.799
 we're doing it for

00:26:58.799 --> 00:26:59.559
 the Lord himself

00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:01.839
 the people that you

00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:02.839
 work with or the

00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:04.079
 person you work for

00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:06.700
 they see that you

00:27:06.700 --> 00:27:07.359
 as a Christian

00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:09.539
 you really do care

00:27:09.539 --> 00:27:10.619
 about the people

00:27:10.619 --> 00:27:12.519
 that you work for

00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:13.839
 or the people

00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:15.019
 that you work with

00:27:15.019 --> 00:27:16.660
 and you are

00:27:16.660 --> 00:27:17.420
 willing to go the

00:27:17.420 --> 00:27:18.220
 extra mile

00:27:18.220 --> 00:27:19.779
 for them

00:27:19.779 --> 00:27:22.160
 you know

00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:24.960
 such acts of

00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:26.400
 self-giving

00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:28.220
 that'll get people's

00:27:28.220 --> 00:27:28.900
 attention on it

00:27:28.900 --> 00:27:30.900
 that is a great way

00:27:30.900 --> 00:27:31.779
 to witness in the

00:27:31.779 --> 00:27:32.519
 first century

00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:34.759
 and today for us

00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:35.079
 too

00:27:35.079 --> 00:27:37.180
 Jesus provides us

00:27:37.180 --> 00:27:37.740
 with one more

00:27:37.740 --> 00:27:38.839
 example of how we

00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:39.500
 should respond when

00:27:39.500 --> 00:27:40.039
 our rights are

00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:40.420
 violated

00:27:40.420 --> 00:27:41.279
 look at verse 42

00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:42.440
 we need to show

00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:43.220
 restraint

00:27:43.220 --> 00:27:45.100
 when responding

00:27:45.100 --> 00:27:46.720
 to the needy

00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:47.680
 look at it

00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:49.220
 give to the one

00:27:49.220 --> 00:27:50.200
 who begs from you

00:27:50.200 --> 00:27:51.240
 and do not refuse

00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:52.160
 the one who would

00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:53.940
 borrow from you

00:27:53.940 --> 00:27:56.800
 the attitude here is

00:27:56.800 --> 00:27:58.060
 we need to be

00:27:58.060 --> 00:27:59.060
 willing to give

00:27:59.060 --> 00:28:01.220
 even sacrifice

00:28:01.220 --> 00:28:03.080
 to help people

00:28:03.080 --> 00:28:03.660
 who are truly

00:28:03.660 --> 00:28:05.019
 in need

00:28:05.019 --> 00:28:06.960
 the idea

00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:07.660
 Jesus is talking

00:28:07.660 --> 00:28:08.240
 about here is

00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:10.299
 we can't be just

00:28:10.299 --> 00:28:10.980
 selfish

00:28:10.980 --> 00:28:12.339
 self-centered people

00:28:12.339 --> 00:28:13.519
 and we're just

00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:13.940
 concerned about

00:28:13.940 --> 00:28:14.779
 ourselves and our

00:28:14.779 --> 00:28:15.359
 stuff

00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:15.960
 we can't be

00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:17.099
 hoarders

00:28:17.099 --> 00:28:19.900
 this would also

00:28:19.900 --> 00:28:20.579
 mean that

00:28:20.579 --> 00:28:21.960
 we've got

00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:22.900
 Jesus is concerned

00:28:22.900 --> 00:28:23.500
 that we as

00:28:23.500 --> 00:28:23.920
 Christians

00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:28.920
 we don't fail

00:28:28.920 --> 00:28:29.539
 to notice

00:28:29.539 --> 00:28:31.139
 people around us

00:28:31.140 --> 00:28:32.520
 who have

00:28:32.520 --> 00:28:34.040
 legitimate needs

00:28:34.040 --> 00:28:36.060
 that we could

00:28:36.060 --> 00:28:36.720
 meet

00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:38.560
 if we noticed

00:28:38.560 --> 00:28:38.860
 them

00:28:38.860 --> 00:28:40.560
 and cared

00:28:40.560 --> 00:28:41.200
 enough about

00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:41.460
 them

00:28:41.460 --> 00:28:42.920
 to want to

00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:43.500
 help them

00:28:43.500 --> 00:28:45.960
 now

00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:47.540
 this shouldn't

00:28:47.540 --> 00:28:48.220
 need to be said

00:28:48.220 --> 00:28:48.680
 but I'm going to

00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:49.040
 say it

00:28:49.040 --> 00:28:51.500
 this is obviously

00:28:51.500 --> 00:28:52.340
 not a call

00:28:52.340 --> 00:28:52.920
 to give away

00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:53.560
 everything that

00:28:53.560 --> 00:28:54.120
 you have

00:28:54.120 --> 00:28:57.600
 you can do that

00:28:57.600 --> 00:28:58.240
 one time

00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:01.579
 and we know

00:29:01.579 --> 00:29:02.779
 we've studied it

00:29:02.779 --> 00:29:03.839
 on other occasions

00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:05.740
 scripture in

00:29:05.740 --> 00:29:07.039
 multiple places

00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:07.740
 Old and New

00:29:07.740 --> 00:29:08.059
 Testament

00:29:08.059 --> 00:29:08.900
 teaches us

00:29:08.900 --> 00:29:10.500
 don't give to

00:29:10.500 --> 00:29:10.980
 people

00:29:10.980 --> 00:29:12.480
 who are in

00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:13.140
 need because

00:29:13.140 --> 00:29:13.700
 they brought it

00:29:13.700 --> 00:29:14.299
 on themselves

00:29:14.299 --> 00:29:14.859
 because they're

00:29:14.859 --> 00:29:15.620
 just lazy

00:29:15.620 --> 00:29:17.240
 or they won't

00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:17.859
 work

00:29:17.859 --> 00:29:19.220
 or they won't

00:29:19.220 --> 00:29:20.079
 practice sound

00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:21.299
 financial money

00:29:21.299 --> 00:29:22.400
 management principles

00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:25.579
 the idea here

00:29:25.579 --> 00:29:25.900
 is

00:29:25.900 --> 00:29:28.240
 help people

00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:28.840
 who are in

00:29:28.840 --> 00:29:29.420
 need

00:29:29.420 --> 00:29:31.280
 because we

00:29:31.280 --> 00:29:31.720
 really do

00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:32.620
 love people

00:29:32.620 --> 00:29:34.019
 because we

00:29:34.019 --> 00:29:34.980
 care

00:29:34.980 --> 00:29:37.100
 by the way

00:29:37.100 --> 00:29:37.860
 it is not an

00:29:37.860 --> 00:29:38.500
 act of love

00:29:38.500 --> 00:29:39.100
 to reward

00:29:39.100 --> 00:29:40.000
 laziness

00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:42.259
 it's not an

00:29:42.259 --> 00:29:43.140
 act of love

00:29:43.140 --> 00:29:44.540
 on a

00:29:44.540 --> 00:29:45.500
 governmental

00:29:45.500 --> 00:29:46.100
 level

00:29:46.100 --> 00:29:47.480
 on a church

00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:47.880
 level

00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:48.560
 or a family

00:29:48.560 --> 00:29:48.940
 level

00:29:48.940 --> 00:29:50.180
 to reward

00:29:50.180 --> 00:29:51.360
 laziness

00:29:51.360 --> 00:29:53.259
 you know

00:29:53.259 --> 00:29:53.480
 where I'm

00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:54.120
 going next

00:29:54.120 --> 00:29:55.340
 parents

00:29:55.339 --> 00:29:58.679
 don't hand

00:29:58.679 --> 00:30:00.079
 your children

00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:00.939
 everything

00:30:00.939 --> 00:30:01.779
 just because

00:30:01.779 --> 00:30:02.299
 they're your

00:30:02.299 --> 00:30:02.899
 children

00:30:02.899 --> 00:30:06.579
 don't enable

00:30:06.579 --> 00:30:07.199
 them to be

00:30:07.199 --> 00:30:07.759
 lazy

00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:08.480
 to be

00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:09.679
 bum like

00:30:09.679 --> 00:30:10.559
 to expect

00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:11.099
 everything

00:30:11.099 --> 00:30:11.559
 to be just

00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:12.119
 given to

00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:12.259
 them

00:30:12.259 --> 00:30:12.859
 just because

00:30:12.859 --> 00:30:13.199
 they're your

00:30:13.199 --> 00:30:13.699
 children

00:30:13.699 --> 00:30:15.539
 teach them

00:30:15.539 --> 00:30:16.159
 the word

00:30:16.159 --> 00:30:16.699
 no

00:30:16.699 --> 00:30:18.139
 teach them

00:30:18.139 --> 00:30:18.839
 the phrase

00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:19.740
 we can't

00:30:19.740 --> 00:30:20.439
 afford it

00:30:20.439 --> 00:30:21.519
 teach them

00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:22.419
 you can't

00:30:22.419 --> 00:30:23.099
 afford it

00:30:23.099 --> 00:30:25.779
 but then

00:30:25.779 --> 00:30:26.399
 teach them

00:30:26.399 --> 00:30:27.719
 how to

00:30:27.719 --> 00:30:28.240
 work

00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:30.079
 how to

00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:30.500
 save

00:30:30.500 --> 00:30:32.519
 how to

00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:33.419
 manage

00:30:33.419 --> 00:30:34.079
 their money

00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:35.299
 so that

00:30:35.299 --> 00:30:36.039
 they have

00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:36.719
 resources

00:30:36.719 --> 00:30:37.659
 so that

00:30:37.659 --> 00:30:37.859
 they

00:30:37.859 --> 00:30:38.839
 understand

00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:39.639
 the difference

00:30:39.639 --> 00:30:40.139
 between

00:30:40.139 --> 00:30:41.279
 working

00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:42.219
 and having

00:30:42.219 --> 00:30:42.759
 something

00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:43.559
 saving

00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:44.579
 and having

00:30:44.579 --> 00:30:45.179
 something

00:30:45.180 --> 00:30:46.920
 the Bible

00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:47.360
 nowhere

00:30:47.360 --> 00:30:47.799
 teaches

00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:48.299
 us

00:30:48.299 --> 00:30:49.480
 to help

00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:49.860
 people

00:30:49.860 --> 00:30:50.420
 who

00:30:50.420 --> 00:30:51.360
 refuse

00:30:51.360 --> 00:30:52.539
 to help

00:30:52.539 --> 00:30:53.100
 themselves

00:30:53.100 --> 00:30:54.940
 because they

00:30:54.940 --> 00:30:55.299
 just won't

00:30:55.299 --> 00:30:55.880
 manage their

00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:56.080
 money

00:30:56.080 --> 00:30:56.480
 they won't

00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:56.759
 work

00:30:56.759 --> 00:30:57.140
 or things

00:30:57.140 --> 00:30:57.380
 of this

00:30:57.380 --> 00:30:57.680
 nature

00:30:57.680 --> 00:30:59.960
 but don't

00:30:59.960 --> 00:31:00.440
 remember

00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:01.480
 that part

00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:02.019
 is the main

00:31:02.019 --> 00:31:02.539
 part of this

00:31:02.539 --> 00:31:02.880
 sermon

00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:06.400
 I know

00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:09.080
 see I can

00:31:09.080 --> 00:31:09.539
 be real

00:31:09.539 --> 00:31:09.880
 jaded

00:31:09.880 --> 00:31:10.400
 I'll be honest

00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:10.680
 with you

00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:11.860
 I can be

00:31:11.860 --> 00:31:12.519
 real jaded

00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:13.539
 about bums

00:31:13.539 --> 00:31:15.460
 who do

00:31:15.460 --> 00:31:15.879
 not want

00:31:15.879 --> 00:31:16.359
 to work

00:31:16.359 --> 00:31:16.700
 do not

00:31:16.700 --> 00:31:16.980
 want to

00:31:16.980 --> 00:31:17.319
 save

00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:17.599
 do not

00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:17.779
 want to

00:31:17.779 --> 00:31:18.099
 take care

00:31:18.099 --> 00:31:18.420
 of themselves

00:31:18.420 --> 00:31:18.839
 in any way

00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:19.420
 and expect

00:31:19.420 --> 00:31:19.879
 the handout

00:31:19.879 --> 00:31:20.680
 I have no

00:31:20.680 --> 00:31:21.059
 patience

00:31:21.059 --> 00:31:21.440
 with that

00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:23.059
 but I can

00:31:23.059 --> 00:31:23.480
 be so

00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:24.159
 jaded

00:31:24.159 --> 00:31:25.460
 that I don't

00:31:25.460 --> 00:31:25.639
 want to

00:31:25.639 --> 00:31:25.980
 help people

00:31:25.980 --> 00:31:26.259
 who are in

00:31:26.259 --> 00:31:26.879
 real need

00:31:26.879 --> 00:31:27.220
 and that's

00:31:27.220 --> 00:31:27.500
 wrong

00:31:27.500 --> 00:31:27.779
 that's

00:31:27.779 --> 00:31:28.180
 sinful

00:31:28.180 --> 00:31:30.339
 so don't

00:31:30.339 --> 00:31:30.759
 go away

00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:30.980
 from here

00:31:56.759 --> 00:31:57.159
 they

00:31:57.159 --> 00:31:57.279
 don't

00:31:57.279 --> 00:31:57.440
 have

00:31:57.440 --> 00:31:57.559
 the

00:31:57.559 --> 00:31:57.859
 mind

00:31:57.859 --> 00:31:58.000
 that

00:31:58.000 --> 00:31:58.099
 we

00:31:58.099 --> 00:31:58.299
 have

00:31:58.299 --> 00:31:58.579
 they

00:31:58.579 --> 00:31:58.700
 don't

 the

 skills

00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:00.440

00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:00.799
 ability

00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:00.940
 to

00:32:00.940 --> 00:32:01.039
 do

00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:01.159
 the

00:32:01.159 --> 00:32:01.339
 job

00:32:01.339 --> 00:32:01.480
 that

00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:01.559
 we

00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:01.819
 have

00:32:01.819 --> 00:32:03.419
 there's

00:32:03.419 --> 00:32:03.559
 some

00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:03.799
 people

00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:03.919
 are

00:32:03.919 --> 00:32:04.099
 just

00:32:04.099 --> 00:32:04.279
 in

00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:04.500
 need

00:32:04.500 --> 00:32:04.599
 and

00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:04.680
 it's

00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:04.919
 always

00:32:04.919 --> 00:32:05.099
 been

00:32:05.099 --> 00:32:05.279
 this

00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:05.419
 way

00:32:05.419 --> 00:32:05.539
 since

00:32:05.539 --> 00:32:05.680
 the

00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:06.059
 foundation

00:32:06.059 --> 00:32:06.259
 of

00:32:06.259 --> 00:32:06.319
 the

00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:06.500
 world

00:32:06.500 --> 00:32:06.700
 just

00:32:06.700 --> 00:32:06.940
 about

00:32:06.940 --> 00:32:08.440
 and

00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:08.640
 there's

00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:09.000
 much

00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:09.259
 in the

00:32:09.259 --> 00:32:09.480
 Old

00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:09.720
 and New

00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:09.960
 Testament

00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:10.259
 about

00:32:10.259 --> 00:32:10.799
 Christians

00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:12.039
 noticing

00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:12.799
 and helping

00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:13.759
 the truly

00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:14.660
 poor

00:32:14.660 --> 00:32:16.200
 needy

00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:17.320
 it's

00:32:17.320 --> 00:32:17.500
 our

00:32:17.500 --> 00:32:18.259
 responsibility

00:32:18.259 --> 00:32:19.980
 and most

00:32:19.980 --> 00:32:20.559
 of us

00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:22.980
 we need

00:32:22.980 --> 00:32:23.360
 to

00:32:23.360 --> 00:32:25.000
 be better

00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:25.880
 at fulfilling

00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:26.120
 this

00:32:26.120 --> 00:32:26.700
 responsibility

00:32:26.700 --> 00:32:30.100
 this passage

00:32:30.100 --> 00:32:30.680
 does not

00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:31.539
 prevent us

00:32:31.539 --> 00:32:33.059
 from ever

00:32:33.059 --> 00:32:33.600
 taking a

00:32:33.600 --> 00:32:34.259
 stand for

00:32:34.259 --> 00:32:35.240
 our rights

00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:37.319
 at times

00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:39.019
 it is not

00:32:39.019 --> 00:32:39.480
 it's not

00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:40.220
 telling us

00:32:40.220 --> 00:32:42.099
 you can

00:32:42.099 --> 00:32:42.420
 never stand

00:32:42.420 --> 00:32:42.599
 up for

00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:42.960
 the rights

00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:43.480
 of others

00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:44.319
 as we'll

00:32:44.319 --> 00:32:44.759
 see next

00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:45.140
 week

00:32:45.140 --> 00:32:46.200
 let's

00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:46.359
 don't

00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:46.720
 make any

00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:47.160
 mistake

00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:48.279
 Jesus

00:32:48.279 --> 00:32:49.079
 is calling

00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:49.599
 us to

00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:50.059
 make some

00:32:50.059 --> 00:32:50.579
 difficult

00:32:50.579 --> 00:32:51.440
 choices

00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:53.940
 that will

00:32:53.940 --> 00:32:54.620
 require us

00:32:54.620 --> 00:32:55.140
 to change

00:32:55.140 --> 00:32:55.420
 some

00:32:55.420 --> 00:32:56.200
 attitudes

00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:58.099
 maybe

00:32:58.099 --> 00:32:58.500
 some

00:32:58.500 --> 00:32:59.099
 parts of

00:32:59.099 --> 00:32:59.240
 our

00:32:59.240 --> 00:32:59.900
 lifestyle

00:32:59.900 --> 00:33:01.920
 but the

00:33:01.920 --> 00:33:02.279
 fact is

00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:02.599
 we can't

00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:02.859
 do this

00:33:02.859 --> 00:33:03.079
 on our

00:33:03.079 --> 00:33:03.279
 own

00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:03.779
 we've

00:33:03.779 --> 00:33:04.000
 been in

00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:04.460
 a series

00:33:04.460 --> 00:33:04.980
 on Romans

00:33:04.980 --> 00:33:05.740
 chapter 12

00:33:05.740 --> 00:33:06.380
 where we've

00:33:06.380 --> 00:33:06.880
 looked at

00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:07.440
 what Paul

00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:07.860
 was writing

00:33:07.860 --> 00:33:08.299
 about how

00:33:08.299 --> 00:33:08.759
 we ought to

00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:09.240
 live in

00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:09.660
 this world

00:33:09.660 --> 00:33:10.240
 as Christians

00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:11.200
 in relationship

00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:11.660
 to other

00:33:11.660 --> 00:33:12.019
 people

00:33:12.019 --> 00:33:12.519
 and a lot

00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:12.720
 of that

00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:13.000
 stuff is

00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:13.380
 just plain

00:33:13.380 --> 00:33:13.920
 hard to

00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:14.160
 do

00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:14.660
 in fact

00:33:14.660 --> 00:33:15.120
 we can't

00:33:15.120 --> 00:33:15.339
 do it

00:33:15.339 --> 00:33:15.579
 on our

00:33:15.579 --> 00:33:15.880
 own

00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:16.360
 but if

00:33:16.360 --> 00:33:16.500
 we're

00:33:16.500 --> 00:33:16.900
 Christians

00:33:16.900 --> 00:33:17.279
 as I've

00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:17.640
 said just

00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:18.079
 about every

00:33:18.079 --> 00:33:18.420
 week

00:33:18.420 --> 00:33:19.500
 the spirit

00:33:19.500 --> 00:33:19.839
 of God

00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:20.380
 lives within

00:33:20.380 --> 00:33:20.720
 us

00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:21.480
 and the spirit

00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:21.720
 of God

00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:22.259
 living within

00:33:22.259 --> 00:33:22.599
 us

00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:24.099
 will enable

00:33:24.099 --> 00:33:24.720
 us

00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:26.640
 to live

00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:27.039
 like a

00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:27.360
 Christian

00:33:27.360 --> 00:33:29.240
 even in

00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:29.740
 these hard

00:33:29.740 --> 00:33:30.339
 ways

00:33:30.339 --> 00:33:32.120
 if we

00:33:32.120 --> 00:33:32.839
 want to

00:33:32.839 --> 00:33:34.819
 and we're

00:33:34.819 --> 00:33:35.240
 willing to

00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:35.720
 make the

00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:36.259
 decisions

00:33:36.259 --> 00:33:37.000
 and choices

00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:38.720
 to actually

00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:40.480
 live it out

00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:42.639
 there's three

00:33:42.639 --> 00:33:43.399
 keys to live

00:33:43.399 --> 00:33:43.899
 this kind of

00:33:43.899 --> 00:33:44.339
 life

00:33:44.339 --> 00:33:45.299
 number one

00:33:45.299 --> 00:33:45.699
 we've got to

00:33:45.699 --> 00:33:46.319
 trust God

00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:48.419
 we've got to

00:33:48.419 --> 00:33:48.799
 learn to

00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:49.539
 trust God

00:33:49.539 --> 00:33:50.980
 depend upon

00:33:50.980 --> 00:33:51.439
 him

00:33:51.439 --> 00:33:54.299
 depend upon

00:33:54.299 --> 00:33:54.839
 him to

00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:56.119
 make some

00:33:56.119 --> 00:33:56.899
 wrongs

00:33:56.899 --> 00:33:57.480
 right

00:33:57.480 --> 00:33:59.399
 number two

00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:00.519
 we've got

00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:01.540
 to love

00:34:01.540 --> 00:34:02.019
 people

00:34:02.019 --> 00:34:04.240
 we've got

00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:04.600
 to love

00:34:04.600 --> 00:34:04.960
 even

00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:06.019
 evil

00:34:06.019 --> 00:34:06.420
 people

00:34:06.420 --> 00:34:08.480
 people who

00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:08.700
 are out

00:34:08.700 --> 00:34:09.039
 to get

00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:09.480
 us

00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:11.019
 remember how

00:34:11.019 --> 00:34:11.380
 Jesus

00:34:11.380 --> 00:34:11.860
 prayed

00:34:11.860 --> 00:34:14.519
 as he was

00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:15.119
 being nailed

00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:15.639
 to the cross

00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:16.740
 father forgive

00:34:16.740 --> 00:34:17.980
 them for they

00:34:17.980 --> 00:34:18.360
 do not know

00:34:18.360 --> 00:34:18.619
 what they're

00:34:18.619 --> 00:34:19.059
 doing

00:34:19.059 --> 00:34:20.099
 you think

00:34:20.099 --> 00:34:20.400
 well that's

00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:20.900
 Jesus I

00:34:20.900 --> 00:34:21.240
 can't do

00:34:21.240 --> 00:34:21.440
 that

00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:21.720
 nobody

00:34:21.720 --> 00:34:22.039
 can do

00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:22.180
 that

00:34:22.180 --> 00:34:22.500
 well they

00:34:22.500 --> 00:34:22.860
 can

00:34:22.860 --> 00:34:24.360
 read in

00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:24.500
 the book

00:34:24.500 --> 00:34:24.920
 of Acts

00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:25.680
 chapter 7

00:34:25.680 --> 00:34:26.340
 chapter 7

00:34:26.340 --> 00:34:26.619
 and 8

00:34:26.619 --> 00:34:27.119
 talking about

00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:27.800
 Stephen

00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:30.500
 he was

00:34:30.500 --> 00:34:31.560
 actually

00:34:31.560 --> 00:34:32.260
 literally

00:34:32.260 --> 00:34:33.320
 stoned

00:34:33.320 --> 00:34:34.280
 to death

00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:36.360
 for what

00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:36.980
 all the good

00:34:36.980 --> 00:34:37.460
 things he was

00:34:37.460 --> 00:34:37.960
 saying about

00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:38.320
 Jesus

00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:38.880
 basically

00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:39.940
 preaching the

00:34:39.940 --> 00:34:40.360
 gospel

00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:42.120
 and as he

00:34:42.120 --> 00:34:42.660
 was being

00:34:42.660 --> 00:34:43.340
 pounded

00:34:43.340 --> 00:34:43.680
 as he was

00:34:43.680 --> 00:34:44.160
 dying

00:34:44.160 --> 00:34:45.260
 he prayed

00:34:45.260 --> 00:34:45.800
 that very

00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:46.560
 same prayer

00:34:46.560 --> 00:34:47.080
 for the

00:34:47.080 --> 00:34:47.539
 people who

00:34:47.539 --> 00:34:48.100
 were killing

00:34:48.100 --> 00:34:48.500
 him

00:34:48.500 --> 00:34:49.980
 he did

00:34:49.980 --> 00:34:50.420
 that because

00:34:50.420 --> 00:34:50.680
 he was

00:34:50.680 --> 00:34:51.080
 filled with

00:34:51.080 --> 00:34:51.480
 the spirit

00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:52.060
 of God

00:34:52.060 --> 00:34:53.840
 he was a

00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:54.240
 person

00:34:54.240 --> 00:34:54.920
 human being

00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:55.400
 just like

00:34:55.400 --> 00:34:55.920
 us

00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:57.440
 number three

00:34:57.440 --> 00:34:57.700
 we need

00:34:57.700 --> 00:34:58.119
 to die

00:34:58.119 --> 00:34:58.760
 to self

00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:01.260
 that's what

00:35:01.260 --> 00:35:02.099
 Jesus calls

00:35:02.099 --> 00:35:02.579
 us to do

00:35:02.579 --> 00:35:03.220
 he did it

00:35:03.220 --> 00:35:04.159
 on several

00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:04.639
 occasions

00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:05.079
 here's one

00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:05.579
 of the best

00:35:05.579 --> 00:35:06.179
 clearest

00:35:06.179 --> 00:35:07.579
 most succinct

00:35:07.579 --> 00:35:08.599
 statements

00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:09.760
 Luke 9

00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:11.619
 then he said

00:35:11.619 --> 00:35:12.200
 to them all

00:35:12.200 --> 00:35:13.240
 if anyone

00:35:13.240 --> 00:35:13.539
 will come

00:35:13.539 --> 00:35:13.960
 after me

00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:14.320
 he must

00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:15.159
 deny himself

00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:15.940
 take up

00:35:15.940 --> 00:35:16.360
 his cross

00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:16.840
 daily

00:35:16.840 --> 00:35:17.880
 and follow

00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:18.179
 me

00:35:18.179 --> 00:35:20.659
 that's the

00:35:20.659 --> 00:35:21.099
 only way

00:35:21.099 --> 00:35:21.420
 that we

00:35:21.420 --> 00:35:21.980
 can be

00:35:21.980 --> 00:35:24.440
 non-defensive

00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:26.539
 non-vengeful

00:35:26.539 --> 00:35:28.000
 not carry

00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:28.800
 a grudge

00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:30.079
 have spite

00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:30.440
 in our

00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:30.860
 heart

00:35:30.860 --> 00:35:32.579
 to die

00:35:32.579 --> 00:35:33.179
 to self

00:35:33.179 --> 00:35:33.740
 to my

00:35:33.740 --> 00:35:34.039
 way

00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:34.659
 to my

00:35:34.659 --> 00:35:35.139
 will

00:35:35.139 --> 00:35:37.619
 live our

00:35:37.619 --> 00:35:38.039
 life in

00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:38.420
 such a way

00:35:38.420 --> 00:35:39.099
 that we

00:35:39.099 --> 00:35:39.900
 want Jesus

00:35:39.900 --> 00:35:40.480
 to be

00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:41.000
 honored

00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:41.700
 and Lord

00:35:41.700 --> 00:35:42.559
 and seen

00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:45.559
 you know

00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:46.039
 we all need

00:35:46.039 --> 00:35:46.700
 to ask God

00:35:46.700 --> 00:35:47.200
 if you think

00:35:47.200 --> 00:35:47.539
 about it

00:35:47.539 --> 00:35:48.200
 look at this

00:35:48.200 --> 00:35:48.760
 we need to

00:35:48.760 --> 00:35:49.099
 ask God

00:35:49.099 --> 00:35:49.579
 to help us

00:35:49.579 --> 00:35:50.000
 to trust

00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:50.460
 him more

00:35:50.460 --> 00:35:51.240
 to learn

00:35:51.240 --> 00:35:51.780
 to love

00:35:51.780 --> 00:35:52.280
 others

00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:53.560
 and to

00:35:53.560 --> 00:35:53.920
 die to

00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:54.300
 self

00:35:54.300 --> 00:35:55.260
 every day

00:35:55.260 --> 00:35:58.880
 if you're

00:35:58.880 --> 00:35:59.180
 not a

00:35:59.180 --> 00:35:59.500
 Christian

00:35:59.500 --> 00:36:00.660
 this won't

00:36:00.660 --> 00:36:01.140
 make sense

00:36:01.140 --> 00:36:01.600
 to you

00:36:01.600 --> 00:36:03.940
 if you're

00:36:03.940 --> 00:36:04.240
 not a

00:36:04.240 --> 00:36:04.620
 Christian

00:36:04.620 --> 00:36:05.880
 the only

00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:06.180
 thing you

00:36:06.180 --> 00:36:06.680
 can do

00:36:06.680 --> 00:36:07.640
 is to

00:36:07.640 --> 00:36:08.040
 admit to

00:36:08.040 --> 00:36:08.380
 God

00:36:08.380 --> 00:36:09.840
 your need

00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:10.760
 for salvation

00:36:10.760 --> 00:36:12.160
 and I

00:36:12.160 --> 00:36:12.640
 encourage you

00:36:12.640 --> 00:36:12.820
 if you're

00:36:12.820 --> 00:36:13.120
 not a

00:36:13.120 --> 00:36:13.320
 Christian

00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:13.840
 right now

00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:15.519
 admit to

00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:15.880
 God

00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:17.080
 I am a

00:36:17.080 --> 00:36:17.280
 sinner

00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:18.000
 in need

00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:18.400
 of this

00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:18.760
 Savior

00:36:18.760 --> 00:36:20.580
 repent of

00:36:20.580 --> 00:36:20.960
 your sin

00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:21.860
 turn from

00:36:21.860 --> 00:36:22.260
 your sin

00:36:22.260 --> 00:36:22.760
 change your

00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:23.100
 mind about

00:36:23.100 --> 00:36:23.280
 the way

00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:23.420
 you're

00:36:23.420 --> 00:36:23.700
 living

00:36:23.700 --> 00:36:24.680
 put your

00:36:24.680 --> 00:36:25.140
 faith in

00:36:25.140 --> 00:36:25.400
 Jesus

00:36:25.400 --> 00:36:25.780
 that when

00:36:25.780 --> 00:36:26.100
 he died

00:36:26.100 --> 00:36:26.300
 on the

00:36:26.300 --> 00:36:26.540
 cross

00:36:26.540 --> 00:36:27.240
 he actually

00:36:27.240 --> 00:36:27.620
 took your

00:36:27.620 --> 00:36:28.080
 punishment

00:36:28.080 --> 00:36:29.480
 paid the

00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:29.840
 penalty for

00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:30.280
 the sins

00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:30.700
 that you

00:36:30.700 --> 00:36:31.320
 should suffer

00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:31.640
 for

00:36:31.640 --> 00:36:34.400
 call upon

00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:34.700
 him to

00:36:34.700 --> 00:36:35.260
 save you

00:36:35.260 --> 00:36:36.580
 the Bible

00:36:36.580 --> 00:36:37.020
 says whoever

00:36:37.020 --> 00:36:37.500
 calls upon

00:36:37.500 --> 00:36:37.700
 the name

00:36:37.700 --> 00:36:38.000
 of the Lord

00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:38.380
 will be

00:36:38.380 --> 00:36:38.700
 saved

00:36:38.700 --> 00:36:40.700
 this is a

00:36:40.700 --> 00:36:41.180
 message for

00:36:41.180 --> 00:36:41.760
 Christians

00:36:41.760 --> 00:36:43.580
 but the only

00:36:43.580 --> 00:36:44.020
 way that we

00:36:44.020 --> 00:36:44.340
 can ever

00:36:44.340 --> 00:36:45.380
 actually do

00:36:45.380 --> 00:36:45.700
 it

00:36:45.700 --> 00:36:46.520
 live it

00:36:46.520 --> 00:36:47.520
 out

00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:51.239
 is to

00:36:51.239 --> 00:36:52.219
 be dependent

00:36:52.219 --> 00:36:52.639
 upon the

00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:53.019
 spirit of

00:36:53.019 --> 00:36:53.380
 God

00:36:53.380 --> 00:36:54.659
 day by

00:36:54.659 --> 00:36:54.980
 day

00:36:54.980 --> 00:36:56.440
 even hour

00:36:56.440 --> 00:36:57.019
 by hour

00:36:57.019 --> 00:36:58.980
 and make

00:36:58.980 --> 00:36:59.480
 the choice

00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:00.079
 to obey

00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:00.539
 him

00:37:00.539 --> 00:37:01.880
 and deny

00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:02.420
 ourselves

00:37:02.420 --> 00:37:04.719
 I encourage

00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:05.099
 you as a

00:37:05.099 --> 00:37:05.420
 Christian

00:37:05.420 --> 00:37:06.780
 ask God to

00:37:06.780 --> 00:37:07.300
 help you

00:37:07.300 --> 00:37:08.079
 to want to

00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:08.659
 do this

00:37:08.659 --> 00:37:10.380
 ask God to

00:37:10.380 --> 00:37:10.900
 help you to

00:37:10.900 --> 00:37:11.759
 do this

00:37:11.759 --> 00:37:13.199
 day by

00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:13.539
 day

00:37:13.539 --> 00:37:14.679
 let's pray
