00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.219
 Amen. You may be seated.

00:00:05.020 --> 00:00:11.919
 Well, if you turn in your Bibles to John chapter 13, 1 through 20, it's on page 1069 of your pew Bible.

00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:15.140
 That's where I'll be preaching from this morning.

00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:22.160
 A while back, we caught them in the act.

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:24.199
 Right.

00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.100
 We had gotten home early from a trip.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.060
 And we had pulled up to our house.

00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:35.799
 And I recognized their cars.

00:00:38.340 --> 00:00:42.240
 And when I looked into the house, because it was evening, the lights were on.

00:00:43.420 --> 00:00:45.060
 I could see their heads.

00:00:46.539 --> 00:00:52.240
 And they were doing something that, well, that's not what we had agreed what they would do.

00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:56.620
 We had given them a key to the house because they were going to take care of our bunny, Rosie.

00:00:57.320 --> 00:00:58.659
 But they were doing something else.

00:00:58.659 --> 00:01:04.140
 The two are brother and sister in Christ.

00:01:04.259 --> 00:01:05.319
 They're members of the church.

00:01:05.420 --> 00:01:06.619
 They will remain anonymous.

00:01:08.620 --> 00:01:10.099
 We're in the same life group together.

00:01:10.099 --> 00:01:17.659
 I knew exactly what they were up to because I know them.

00:01:18.539 --> 00:01:24.699
 They were fixing a faucet in our first floor bathroom that hadn't worked since we had moved in.

00:01:24.780 --> 00:01:26.639
 And that's been 12 years at that point.

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:31.900
 So they were not planning on being there when we had arrived.

00:01:31.900 --> 00:01:36.540
 They were serving in a clandestine fashion.

00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:43.180
 But they were caught in the act of conspicuous serving.

00:01:43.180 --> 00:01:45.420
 And it was endearing.

00:01:46.300 --> 00:01:47.940
 We felt loved.

00:01:48.080 --> 00:01:49.300
 We felt cared for.

00:01:49.540 --> 00:01:53.460
 We turned the water on and off in the faucet many a time.

00:01:53.700 --> 00:01:55.100
 Like, this is so good.

00:01:56.180 --> 00:02:01.620
 Have you ever been caught in a conspicuous act of service?

00:02:01.620 --> 00:02:06.219
 We've all been caught in sinning.

00:02:07.219 --> 00:02:11.060
 What have you ever been caught serving someone else?

00:02:11.099 --> 00:02:16.520
 As followers of Jesus, we are to be known for our serving, not for our sinning.

00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:22.660
 And this morning, we're going to come across a beatitude, a blessed.

00:02:23.780 --> 00:02:28.219
 And I have called it, blessed are those who serve.

00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:34.580
 We've reached a point in the Gospel of John that is called the farewell discourse.

00:02:34.860 --> 00:02:36.500
 It starts in chapter 13.

00:02:36.600 --> 00:02:37.840
 It goes through chapter 17.

00:02:38.219 --> 00:02:43.060
 And we're talking literally just hours leading up to the death of Jesus.

00:02:43.060 --> 00:02:48.479
 And so, if you look at 13.1, you can see now before the feast of the Passover.

00:02:49.860 --> 00:02:51.599
 The Passover has arrived.

00:02:53.060 --> 00:02:57.680
 The hour for which Jesus had come to die has now come.

00:02:58.640 --> 00:03:04.680
 And it's just a matter of hours and minutes before Jesus breathes his last.

00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:10.439
 And before Jesus dies, he's got some things he needs to say to his disciples.

00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:13.439
 In fact, he's got an object lesson to teach them.

00:03:14.259 --> 00:03:16.379
 And that's what we're going to be looking at this morning.

00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.939
 Notice in verse 1.

00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.319
 The hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father.

00:03:25.780 --> 00:03:29.280
 Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

00:03:30.060 --> 00:03:33.159
 So, the way that we're going to approach this object lesson

00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:41.199
 is understanding this is Jesus loving his disciples then and loving us, his disciples, now.

00:03:41.819 --> 00:03:44.259
 He loved his own to the end.

00:03:44.859 --> 00:03:49.039
 So, what follows in this passage is an example given.

00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:51.659
 This is verses 2 through 11.

00:03:51.939 --> 00:03:56.740
 And then the example is explained in 12 through 20.

00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:58.900
 It's an object lesson in servanthood.

00:03:58.900 --> 00:04:07.520
 When was the last time you were caught in a conspicuous act of service?

00:04:07.740 --> 00:04:11.819
 Let me read John 13, 1 through 20.

00:04:12.099 --> 00:04:13.719
 Now, before the feast of the Passover,

00:04:13.939 --> 00:04:17.699
 when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father,

00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:22.040
 having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

00:04:22.819 --> 00:04:26.660
 During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot,

00:04:26.660 --> 00:04:32.640
 Simon's son, to betray him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hand

00:04:32.640 --> 00:04:37.880
 and that he had come from God and was going back to God, rose from supper.

00:04:38.580 --> 00:04:44.400
 He laid aside his outer garments and, taking a towel, tied it around his waist.

00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:48.520
 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet

00:04:48.520 --> 00:04:51.400
 and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:53.700
 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him,

00:04:53.699 --> 00:04:55.879
 Lord, do you wash my feet?

00:04:57.019 --> 00:04:58.019
 Jesus answered him,

00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:02.899
 What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.

00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:04.139
 Peter said to him,

00:05:04.420 --> 00:05:06.259
 You shall never wash my feet.

00:05:07.259 --> 00:05:08.139
 Jesus answered him,

00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.120
 If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.

00:05:11.819 --> 00:05:12.980
 Simon Peter said to him,

00:05:13.099 --> 00:05:16.180
 Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

00:05:17.159 --> 00:05:18.019
 Jesus said to him,

00:05:18.019 --> 00:05:22.139
 The one who's bathed does not need to wash except for his feet,

00:05:22.539 --> 00:05:23.759
 but is completely clean.

00:05:24.099 --> 00:05:26.579
 And you are clean, but not every one of you.

00:05:27.060 --> 00:05:28.919
 For he knew who was to betray him.

00:05:30.039 --> 00:05:31.639
 That was why he said,

00:05:31.699 --> 00:05:32.879
 Not all of you are clean.

00:05:33.919 --> 00:05:38.259
 When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place,

00:05:38.459 --> 00:05:39.399
 he said to them,

00:05:39.779 --> 00:05:41.539
 Do you understand what I have done to you?

00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:45.279
 You call me teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am.

00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.659
 If I then, your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet,

00:05:48.939 --> 00:05:51.799
 you also ought to wash one another's feet.

00:05:52.139 --> 00:05:56.479
 For I have given you an example that you also should do just as I have done to you.

00:05:56.919 --> 00:05:58.459
 Truly, truly, I say to you,

00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.119
 a servant is no greater than his master,

00:06:01.339 --> 00:06:04.079
 nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.

00:06:04.659 --> 00:06:05.919
 If you know these things,

00:06:06.539 --> 00:06:09.619
 blessed are you if you do them.

00:06:10.379 --> 00:06:12.039
 I'm not speaking of all of you.

00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:13.139
 I know whom I have chosen,

00:06:13.139 --> 00:06:14.919
 but the scripture will be fulfilled.

00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:17.939
 He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.

00:06:18.359 --> 00:06:19.519
 I am telling you this now,

00:06:19.599 --> 00:06:20.699
 before it takes place,

00:06:21.039 --> 00:06:22.639
 that when it does take place,

00:06:22.699 --> 00:06:24.659
 you may believe that I am he.

00:06:25.479 --> 00:06:26.779
 Truly, truly, I say to you,

00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:29.159
 whoever receives the one I send receives me,

00:06:29.819 --> 00:06:31.139
 and whoever receives me

00:06:31.139 --> 00:06:33.979
 receives the one who sent me.

00:06:34.779 --> 00:06:37.279
 So let's look at this example given,

00:06:37.779 --> 00:06:39.979
 and then the example explained.

00:06:39.980 --> 00:06:41.819
 So verses 2 through 11,

00:06:42.200 --> 00:06:43.480
 the example given.

00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:44.379
 In verses 2 through 3,

00:06:44.460 --> 00:06:47.220
 we have a framing of this account.

00:06:47.840 --> 00:06:48.939
 John informs us

00:06:48.939 --> 00:06:51.580
 that what is about to take place

00:06:51.580 --> 00:06:55.000
 took place during the Passover supper.

00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.400
 John is the only gospel writer

00:06:58.400 --> 00:07:01.939
 who includes Jesus washing his disciples' feet.

00:07:02.060 --> 00:07:05.300
 All the other three other gospels don't include this.

00:07:05.300 --> 00:07:07.520
 And what he's doing is he's focusing

00:07:07.520 --> 00:07:10.000
 on something else about Jesus.

00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:11.520
 His example.

00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:16.520
 In verse 2, we learn that Judas has already,

00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:18.879
 that the devil has already put it in Judas' heart

00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:20.840
 to betray Jesus.

00:07:21.400 --> 00:07:24.080
 So Judas is present at the supper.

00:07:25.139 --> 00:07:26.560
 Jesus is going to wash his feet,

00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:30.040
 even though his heart is somewhere else.

00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.740
 He is not clean,

00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:35.740
 but he's there,

00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:37.400
 and he's fulfilling the purpose

00:07:37.400 --> 00:07:38.600
 for which God ordained him.

00:07:40.180 --> 00:07:41.080
 Verse 3,

00:07:41.660 --> 00:07:44.320
 we learn that everything is going according to plan.

00:07:44.980 --> 00:07:47.060
 Let me just read this for you.

00:07:47.900 --> 00:07:49.020
 We read this.

00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:51.460
 Jesus, knowing that the Father

00:07:51.460 --> 00:07:53.420
 had given all things into his hand,

00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:55.640
 even Simon's betrayal.

00:07:56.500 --> 00:07:58.280
 All things were going to plan.

00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.439
 All things were going according to the plan

00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:04.299
 God the Father had given his son to accomplish.

00:08:06.119 --> 00:08:08.639
 And so that includes God's sovereignty

00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:11.359
 over all things and this betrayer.

00:08:11.459 --> 00:08:12.759
 It's what we talked about last week,

00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:14.599
 this compatibilism,

00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:16.279
 where we have both God's sovereign

00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:18.239
 and people responsible

00:08:18.239 --> 00:08:19.859
 for real decisions they're making.

00:08:20.859 --> 00:08:23.019
 But it's in verse 4 through 5

00:08:23.019 --> 00:08:25.519
 that the story slows down.

00:08:26.339 --> 00:08:28.119
 And when you're reading something like this,

00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:29.819
 and the story slows down,

00:08:30.180 --> 00:08:32.820
 it's designed for your eyes to focus in.

00:08:33.820 --> 00:08:35.899
 And so what we see next

00:08:35.899 --> 00:08:39.139
 is designed to capture your imaginations.

00:08:40.539 --> 00:08:42.360
 And so let's look at 13.4.

00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:46.039
 Jesus rose from supper.

00:08:47.460 --> 00:08:49.220
 Back in the first century,

00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:49.940
 ancient Near East,

00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:51.840
 they didn't have chairs at tables.

00:08:52.060 --> 00:08:53.659
 They reclined at table.

00:08:53.659 --> 00:08:55.759
 And so when he rose,

00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:56.860
 he's getting up from eating.

00:08:57.659 --> 00:08:59.179
 And when he stands up,

00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:01.219
 all eyes follow Jesus.

00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.159
 But you notice no words are said.

00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:08.339
 And then he lays aside his outer garments.

00:09:08.500 --> 00:09:10.079
 He would have been essentially naked.

00:09:10.500 --> 00:09:13.439
 He would have had his kind of like underwear on.

00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.540
 But he would have been a lot of skin.

00:09:16.140 --> 00:09:17.340
 No words.

00:09:18.680 --> 00:09:21.560
 All eyes on Jesus.

00:09:22.300 --> 00:09:23.840
 And then he takes a towel.

00:09:25.020 --> 00:09:28.260
 And he wraps himself in that towel.

00:09:28.660 --> 00:09:29.520
 No words.

00:09:30.660 --> 00:09:32.820
 But everybody at that supper

00:09:32.820 --> 00:09:34.180
 is looking at him

00:09:34.179 --> 00:09:35.039
 and they're wondering,

00:09:35.439 --> 00:09:36.579
 what is he doing?

00:09:38.699 --> 00:09:39.739
 In verse 5,

00:09:39.859 --> 00:09:42.519
 these little action statements continue.

00:09:43.699 --> 00:09:45.419
 He poured water into a basin.

00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:49.259
 Can you imagine in your mind

00:09:49.259 --> 00:09:52.120
 the sound of water being poured

00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:53.339
 into a large basin?

00:09:54.779 --> 00:09:55.839
 That's what happened.

00:09:57.919 --> 00:09:59.019
 It goes on.

00:09:59.959 --> 00:10:01.819
 After pouring the water in the basin,

00:10:01.820 --> 00:10:04.900
 he began to wash the disciples' feet.

00:10:06.020 --> 00:10:08.260
 He's working his fingers between their toes.

00:10:11.660 --> 00:10:13.620
 And then he wipes them with a towel

00:10:13.620 --> 00:10:14.740
 that was wrapped around him.

00:10:15.560 --> 00:10:17.820
 He wipes them dry.

00:10:18.460 --> 00:10:19.060
 No words.

00:10:20.420 --> 00:10:21.379
 Just actions.

00:10:23.100 --> 00:10:25.840
 Your mind is to be imagining

00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:29.240
 our Lord Jesus doing this act.

00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:30.980
 And what we fail to fully comprehend

00:10:30.980 --> 00:10:32.759
 is the cultural significance

00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:34.100
 of Jesus

00:10:34.100 --> 00:10:37.680
 and this conspicuous act of servanthood.

00:10:39.220 --> 00:10:39.879
 Foot washing

00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:42.360
 in the first century household

00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:45.720
 was the most menial job

00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.980
 reserved for the lowliest of servants.

00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:52.320
 And Jesus intentionally picked it.

00:10:54.060 --> 00:10:55.840
 Even Jewish households,

00:10:55.840 --> 00:11:00.500
 this job was given to non-Jews,

00:11:01.160 --> 00:11:01.879
 Gentiles.

00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:03.060
 Why?

00:11:04.580 --> 00:11:06.759
 Well, we're used to wearing shoes

00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:08.160
 that cover our toes.

00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:11.420
 First century engineers' footwear

00:11:11.420 --> 00:11:14.040
 were sandals, open-toed.

00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:18.220
 And being a dry, dusty place,

00:11:18.620 --> 00:11:21.259
 no underground sewer systems,

00:11:21.259 --> 00:11:24.419
 it was agrarian animal refuse

00:11:24.419 --> 00:11:25.600
 strewn about.

00:11:26.319 --> 00:11:27.460
 First century,

00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:29.039
 ancient Near East feet

00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:30.240
 were gross.

00:11:31.580 --> 00:11:32.139
 Disgusting.

00:11:33.259 --> 00:11:35.480
 You got all kinds of stuff

00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.080
 working in between your toes.

00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:42.279
 And the reason why Gentiles

00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:43.240
 were given that job

00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:45.000
 in Jewish houses, presumably,

00:11:45.460 --> 00:11:47.600
 is that you could defile yourself

00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:48.659
 with what you touch.

00:11:51.259 --> 00:11:53.080
 So if you were a foot washer

00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:54.919
 of a first century household,

00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:57.419
 you were low man on the totem pole.

00:11:58.860 --> 00:12:00.419
 It would have been humiliating.

00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:03.159
 Has anybody walked into

00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:04.299
 a public restroom today

00:12:04.299 --> 00:12:05.360
 while someone's cleaning it?

00:12:08.439 --> 00:12:09.960
 And you try to make eye contact

00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:11.159
 with the person cleaning it?

00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:14.720
 And they look for you for a second

00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:15.620
 and then put their eyes down?

00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:18.620
 That's the vibe here.

00:12:18.620 --> 00:12:21.600
 There's nothing wrong

00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:22.700
 with cleaning toilets.

00:12:24.220 --> 00:12:25.720
 But it is humbling.

00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:30.639
 So Jesus has very intentionally

00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:33.460
 chosen this act

00:12:33.460 --> 00:12:34.879
 as an object lesson

00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:35.980
 at the supper.

00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:39.340
 He's doing what

00:12:39.340 --> 00:12:41.539
 only the lowliest of servants

00:12:41.539 --> 00:12:42.279
 would do.

00:12:42.820 --> 00:12:44.600
 It would have been humiliating

00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:46.320
 in the eyes of many.

00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:49.140
 And just think about

00:12:49.140 --> 00:12:51.560
 the kind of posture of heart

00:12:51.560 --> 00:12:53.820
 that fuels this kind of practice.

00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:56.280
 Check it out.

00:12:57.140 --> 00:12:58.480
 Here is the one

00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.640
 who just raised Lazarus

00:13:01.640 --> 00:13:02.440
 from the dead.

00:13:02.980 --> 00:13:04.400
 Lazarus, come forth.

00:13:05.680 --> 00:13:07.460
 This is the Christ.

00:13:08.300 --> 00:13:10.260
 This is the son of man.

00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:12.440
 The Daniel 7 king.

00:13:12.900 --> 00:13:14.540
 This is the son of God.

00:13:14.640 --> 00:13:15.240
 Totally God.

00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:15.940
 Totally man.

00:13:15.940 --> 00:13:17.060
 The word incarnate.

00:13:17.860 --> 00:13:19.640
 The king who has come.

00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:23.520
 And he's getting his fingers

00:13:23.520 --> 00:13:25.660
 in between his disciples' toes

00:13:25.660 --> 00:13:28.200
 to get the filth and squalor out.

00:13:32.880 --> 00:13:35.420
 When you start to understand

00:13:35.420 --> 00:13:36.240
 the significance

00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:38.020
 of what Jesus is doing,

00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:41.240
 this conspicuous act of service,

00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:45.400
 it verges on scandalous.

00:13:45.940 --> 00:13:49.620
 And that's why we see

00:13:49.620 --> 00:13:51.580
 Peter's strong reaction.

00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:56.360
 Peter,

00:13:56.780 --> 00:13:58.600
 when he came to be his turn,

00:14:00.060 --> 00:14:01.100
 he said,

00:14:01.180 --> 00:14:01.360
 Lord,

00:14:01.520 --> 00:14:03.840
 do you wash my feet?

00:14:05.420 --> 00:14:06.420
 You're going to actually

00:14:06.420 --> 00:14:07.180
 wash my feet?

00:14:07.179 --> 00:14:07.639
 You see,

00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:09.679
 you see,

00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:13.039
 Simon Peter has some sense

00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:14.159
 of who this is.

00:14:14.419 --> 00:14:15.279
 He would have been there

00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:16.859
 when he raised Lazarus

00:14:16.859 --> 00:14:17.679
 from the dead.

00:14:20.339 --> 00:14:21.059
 You're going to,

00:14:21.059 --> 00:14:23.339
 you're going to wash my feet?

00:14:23.340 --> 00:14:29.000
 And Jesus says,

00:14:29.680 --> 00:14:31.420
 you don't get it now,

00:14:31.500 --> 00:14:32.320
 but you're going to get it

00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:33.280
 in due time.

00:14:33.660 --> 00:14:35.460
 It betrays the supernatural knowledge.

00:14:36.920 --> 00:14:38.080
 Peter doubled down

00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:38.759
 in verse 8,

00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:40.800
 and in the original language,

00:14:41.060 --> 00:14:43.040
 there is a pileup

00:14:43.040 --> 00:14:45.240
 of strong no's.

00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:46.759
 it would go something like this.

00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:48.680
 No,

00:14:49.180 --> 00:14:49.700
 never.

00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:53.159
 Absolutely not forever

00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:54.180
 will you do that.

00:14:55.299 --> 00:14:55.659
 It's,

00:14:55.659 --> 00:14:55.899
 it's,

00:14:55.899 --> 00:14:56.860
 it's a strong,

00:14:57.220 --> 00:14:57.580
 like,

00:14:57.799 --> 00:14:58.960
 no way

00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:00.120
 are you going to touch

00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:00.940
 the gook

00:15:00.940 --> 00:15:02.120
 between my toes.

00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:04.740
 He has a sense

00:15:04.740 --> 00:15:05.980
 of his own unworthiness

00:15:05.980 --> 00:15:06.960
 and the worthiness

00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:08.360
 of Jesus.

00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:10.159
 And then in the verse

00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:11.340
 part of 9,

00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:12.419
 Jesus says,

00:15:12.560 --> 00:15:13.659
 if you don't let me do this,

00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:14.180
 Peter,

00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:16.200
 you have no share with me.

00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:17.159
 So,

00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:18.060
 so what's going on here

00:15:18.060 --> 00:15:18.539
 is this.

00:15:18.740 --> 00:15:20.120
 What Jesus is showing

00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:21.480
 Peter and his disciples

00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:23.960
 is how his kingdom

00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:24.919
 rolls.

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:27.800
 This is kingdom ethic.

00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:29.980
 This is a kingdom way.

00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:31.620
 This is a kingdom way

00:15:31.620 --> 00:15:32.940
 of being and interacting

00:15:32.940 --> 00:15:34.000
 with different people.

00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:34.759
 And so,

00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:35.220
 essentially,

00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:36.399
 Jesus is saying is,

00:15:36.659 --> 00:15:36.759
 hey,

00:15:36.820 --> 00:15:37.740
 if you're not going to let me,

00:15:37.820 --> 00:15:38.259
 the king,

00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:39.620
 serve you this way,

00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:40.980
 you're not going to be able

00:15:40.980 --> 00:15:41.720
 to serve other people

00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:42.220
 this way.

00:15:42.419 --> 00:15:43.159
 You'll have no share

00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:43.639
 of my kingdom.

00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:48.720
 Peter,

00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:50.779
 being Peter,

00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:53.639
 swings the other way.

00:15:57.539 --> 00:15:58.399
 Because he's missing

00:15:58.399 --> 00:15:58.919
 the point.

00:16:00.060 --> 00:16:01.100
 He doesn't understand

00:16:01.100 --> 00:16:01.879
 what Jesus is doing

00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:02.200
 to him.

00:16:03.539 --> 00:16:04.259
 But he will.

00:16:05.820 --> 00:16:06.220
 And so,

00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:06.700
 Peter,

00:16:06.920 --> 00:16:07.940
 in Peter dramatic

00:16:07.940 --> 00:16:08.480
 style,

00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:09.300
 says,

00:16:09.580 --> 00:16:11.620
 not just my feet,

00:16:12.760 --> 00:16:13.380
 but yea,

00:16:13.660 --> 00:16:14.960
 also my hands

00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:15.840
 and head.

00:16:16.400 --> 00:16:17.500
 Kind of like all of me.

00:16:18.020 --> 00:16:18.980
 If you're going to go

00:16:18.980 --> 00:16:20.900
 wash something,

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:21.940
 wash it all.

00:16:23.520 --> 00:16:24.520
 I can just imagine

00:16:24.520 --> 00:16:25.300
 Jesus kind of like,

00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:25.540
 oh,

00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:25.820
 Peter.

00:16:27.680 --> 00:16:28.080
 Peter,

00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:28.400
 Peter,

00:16:28.500 --> 00:16:28.720
 Peter.

00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:30.880
 And in verse 10,

00:16:31.040 --> 00:16:31.880
 we read this.

00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:34.340
 the one who has bathed

00:16:34.340 --> 00:16:35.559
 does not need to wash

00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:36.439
 except for his feet,

00:16:36.580 --> 00:16:38.379
 but is completely clean.

00:16:38.580 --> 00:16:39.639
 And you are clean.

00:16:40.340 --> 00:16:41.720
 What Jesus is saying here

00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:42.039
 is,

00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:42.799
 Peter,

00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:43.600
 you've already been

00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:44.539
 forgiven of your sin

00:16:44.539 --> 00:16:45.480
 based on what I'm going to do

00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:46.439
 in just hours.

00:16:47.740 --> 00:16:49.039
 You're already clean.

00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:49.899
 So,

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:51.220
 Jesus is saying to Peter,

00:16:51.580 --> 00:16:51.759
 Peter,

00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:52.960
 you've already been forgiven

00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:53.919
 based upon

00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:55.439
 what I will do

00:16:55.439 --> 00:16:56.139
 at the cross

00:16:56.139 --> 00:16:57.659
 in just moments from now.

00:16:57.659 --> 00:16:58.439
 For us,

00:16:58.719 --> 00:16:59.879
 living on the other side

00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:00.500
 of the cross,

00:17:00.719 --> 00:17:01.579
 we are forgiven

00:17:01.579 --> 00:17:02.439
 based on what Jesus

00:17:02.439 --> 00:17:03.319
 has done

00:17:03.319 --> 00:17:05.240
 millennia ago.

00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:10.379
 What Peter is missing

00:17:10.379 --> 00:17:13.079
 is what Jesus is doing.

00:17:13.220 --> 00:17:14.240
 It's like Jesus is saying,

00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:15.839
 would you just let me finish

00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:16.920
 with the object lesson?

00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:18.920
 I'm just trying to

00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:19.460
 wash your feet.

00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:20.779
 I'm trying to make a point.

00:17:23.539 --> 00:17:25.240
 And at the end of verse 10,

00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:28.700
 Jesus says something

00:17:28.700 --> 00:17:29.720
 a little ominous.

00:17:30.980 --> 00:17:32.240
 And you are clean,

00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:34.480
 but not every one of you.

00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:36.299
 He's referring to Judas.

00:17:37.460 --> 00:17:39.559
 He knows who will betray him.

00:17:39.859 --> 00:17:40.380
 Again,

00:17:40.819 --> 00:17:42.519
 divine knowledge.

00:17:45.700 --> 00:17:47.440
 And what's interesting here

00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:50.660
 is that Jesus must have

00:17:50.660 --> 00:17:53.420
 washed Judas' feet too.

00:17:53.420 --> 00:17:56.740
 Judas is not completely

00:17:56.740 --> 00:17:57.580
 clean like Peter.

00:17:58.180 --> 00:17:58.539
 He's got,

00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:00.519
 his heart is far from Jesus.

00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:02.340
 But Jesus has washed his feet.

00:18:05.140 --> 00:18:05.980
 But there's something

00:18:05.980 --> 00:18:06.759
 going on here

00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:09.200
 that you need to see.

00:18:12.019 --> 00:18:13.860
 This section begins

00:18:13.860 --> 00:18:14.660
 in verse 2

00:18:14.660 --> 00:18:16.000
 with a reference

00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:17.080
 to the betrayer,

00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:19.440
 Judas.

00:18:20.120 --> 00:18:21.400
 And verse 11

00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:22.800
 ends with a reference

00:18:22.800 --> 00:18:23.700
 to Judas.

00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:26.019
 And so what bookends

00:18:26.019 --> 00:18:28.340
 the actual example

00:18:28.340 --> 00:18:29.200
 Jesus gives

00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:30.220
 is an example

00:18:30.220 --> 00:18:31.100
 of betrayal.

00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:33.820
 This example

00:18:33.820 --> 00:18:34.620
 is bookended

00:18:34.620 --> 00:18:36.259
 by betrayal.

00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:37.000
 Why?

00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:38.800
 Well,

00:18:38.840 --> 00:18:39.380
 it happened.

00:18:40.500 --> 00:18:41.640
 But it's the very

00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:42.259
 opposite

00:18:42.259 --> 00:18:44.400
 example

00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:45.840
 of what Jesus

00:18:45.840 --> 00:18:46.740
 is modeling.

00:18:47.080 --> 00:18:47.519
 Judas

00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:49.320
 models for us here

00:18:49.320 --> 00:18:50.720
 selfishness.

00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:52.920
 serving himself.

00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:54.540
 Jesus

00:18:54.540 --> 00:18:55.580
 is modeling

00:18:55.580 --> 00:18:56.860
 selflessness.

00:18:58.019 --> 00:18:58.540
 Serving

00:18:58.540 --> 00:18:59.519
 others.

00:19:00.380 --> 00:19:00.780
 Considering

00:19:00.780 --> 00:19:01.480
 others

00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:02.700
 better than himself.

00:19:03.259 --> 00:19:04.100
 A humble

00:19:04.100 --> 00:19:05.240
 posture of heart

00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:06.080
 that is serving

00:19:06.080 --> 00:19:06.920
 people very

00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:07.540
 practically.

00:19:10.340 --> 00:19:11.920
 In this moment,

00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:12.940
 we get a line

00:19:12.940 --> 00:19:13.420
 of sight

00:19:13.420 --> 00:19:15.040
 on our

00:19:15.040 --> 00:19:15.780
 creator,

00:19:16.360 --> 00:19:17.060
 on our

00:19:17.060 --> 00:19:18.080
 sustainer,

00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:19.359
 our savior

00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:20.279
 and our

00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:21.039
 judge

00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:21.899
 and he

00:19:21.899 --> 00:19:22.659
 is kneeled

00:19:22.659 --> 00:19:23.559
 down at his

00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:24.500
 disciples' feet

00:19:24.500 --> 00:19:25.419
 and he is

00:19:25.419 --> 00:19:25.939
 getting the

00:19:25.939 --> 00:19:26.379
 gook out

00:19:26.379 --> 00:19:27.279
 between their

00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:27.639
 toes.

00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:29.279
 It's extraordinary.

00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:32.159
 He has

00:19:32.159 --> 00:19:33.059
 purposefully

00:19:33.059 --> 00:19:34.099
 selected

00:19:34.099 --> 00:19:35.220
 and

00:19:35.220 --> 00:19:37.480
 taken part

00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:38.240
 in this,

00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:38.740
 the most

00:19:38.740 --> 00:19:40.579
 menial job

00:19:40.579 --> 00:19:41.139
 of a

00:19:41.139 --> 00:19:41.559
 household

00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:42.220
 at this

00:19:42.220 --> 00:19:42.679
 time.

00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:47.000
 And you

00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:47.240
 know,

00:19:47.500 --> 00:19:48.880
 he has

00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:49.340
 served you

00:19:49.340 --> 00:19:49.799
 as well.

00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:52.519
 You know,

00:19:52.600 --> 00:19:53.400
 he hasn't

00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:53.700
 put his

00:19:53.700 --> 00:19:53.900
 fingers

00:19:53.900 --> 00:19:54.380
 between my

00:19:54.380 --> 00:19:54.640
 toes.

00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:57.539
 No,

00:19:57.620 --> 00:19:58.120
 he hasn't.

00:20:00.140 --> 00:20:00.799
 But in

00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:01.180
 Philippians

00:20:01.180 --> 00:20:01.759
 chapter 2,

00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:02.340
 we learn

00:20:02.340 --> 00:20:02.920
 that in

00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:03.360
 an act

00:20:03.360 --> 00:20:04.120
 of humility,

00:20:05.259 --> 00:20:05.560
 Jesus,

00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:06.880
 the second

00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:07.400
 person of

00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:07.820
 the Trinity

00:20:07.820 --> 00:20:08.299
 took on

00:20:08.299 --> 00:20:09.000
 human flesh.

00:20:10.299 --> 00:20:10.560
 He took

00:20:10.560 --> 00:20:10.840
 the form

00:20:10.840 --> 00:20:11.100
 of a

00:20:11.100 --> 00:20:11.340
 servant.

00:20:11.339 --> 00:20:13.179
 just by

00:20:13.179 --> 00:20:13.919
 becoming a

00:20:13.919 --> 00:20:14.339
 man,

00:20:14.740 --> 00:20:15.319
 a human

00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:15.779
 being,

00:20:15.980 --> 00:20:16.599
 it was an

00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:17.119
 act of

00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:17.659
 service.

00:20:17.959 --> 00:20:18.399
 That's

00:20:18.399 --> 00:20:19.139
 conspicuous

00:20:19.139 --> 00:20:20.459
 and he

00:20:20.459 --> 00:20:20.720
 did that

00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:21.139
 for you.

00:20:21.859 --> 00:20:22.359
 But even

00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:23.019
 more so,

00:20:23.139 --> 00:20:23.419
 in Mark

00:20:23.419 --> 00:20:23.599
 10,

00:20:23.659 --> 00:20:24.079
 45,

00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:24.459
 Jesus

00:20:24.459 --> 00:20:24.859
 says,

00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:25.659
 I came

00:20:25.659 --> 00:20:26.480
 not to

00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:27.339
 be served,

00:20:27.639 --> 00:20:28.500
 but to

00:20:28.500 --> 00:20:29.619
 serve and

00:20:29.619 --> 00:20:30.000
 to give

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:30.459
 my life

00:20:30.459 --> 00:20:30.759
 as a

00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:31.299
 ransom for

00:20:31.299 --> 00:20:31.559
 many.

00:20:33.259 --> 00:20:34.159
 You have

00:20:34.159 --> 00:20:35.119
 been served

00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:36.419
 by this

00:20:36.419 --> 00:20:37.319
 man in

00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:37.980
 the most

00:20:37.980 --> 00:20:38.939
 conspicuous

00:20:38.939 --> 00:20:39.779
 act of

00:20:39.779 --> 00:20:40.299
 servanthood

00:20:40.299 --> 00:20:41.099
 of all,

00:20:41.339 --> 00:20:42.199
 and that

00:20:42.199 --> 00:20:42.679
 his work

00:20:42.679 --> 00:20:43.379
 on the

00:20:43.379 --> 00:20:43.720
 cross.

00:20:44.379 --> 00:20:44.839
 It's not

00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:45.399
 his fingers

00:20:45.399 --> 00:20:45.980
 getting the

00:20:45.980 --> 00:20:46.459
 grit out

00:20:46.459 --> 00:20:46.980
 between your

00:20:46.980 --> 00:20:47.459
 toes.

00:20:48.019 --> 00:20:48.859
 It's the

00:20:48.859 --> 00:20:49.659
 blood of

00:20:49.659 --> 00:20:50.419
 the cross

00:20:50.419 --> 00:20:51.419
 making you

00:20:51.419 --> 00:20:51.899
 white as

00:20:51.899 --> 00:20:52.259
 snow.

00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:55.720
 This is

00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:56.299
 the one

00:20:56.299 --> 00:20:56.839
 who is

00:20:56.839 --> 00:20:57.599
 giving us

00:20:57.599 --> 00:20:59.059
 an example.

00:20:59.199 --> 00:20:59.659
 I hope you

00:20:59.659 --> 00:21:00.059
 feel the

00:21:00.059 --> 00:21:00.419
 love.

00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:02.439
 Remember,

00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:03.480
 he loved

00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:04.019
 his own

00:21:04.019 --> 00:21:05.000
 to the

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:05.359
 end.

00:21:06.500 --> 00:21:06.740
 So,

00:21:06.879 --> 00:21:07.240
 example

00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:07.599
 given.

00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:07.980
 Now,

00:21:08.019 --> 00:21:08.319
 let's look

00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:08.639
 at the

00:21:08.639 --> 00:21:09.220
 example

00:21:09.220 --> 00:21:10.039
 explained.

00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:10.500
 This is

00:21:10.500 --> 00:21:10.779
 verses

00:21:10.779 --> 00:21:11.680
 12-20.

00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:12.339
 So,

00:21:12.460 --> 00:21:12.799
 following

00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:13.139
 this

00:21:13.139 --> 00:21:13.940
 conspicuous,

00:21:14.059 --> 00:21:14.259
 even

00:21:14.259 --> 00:21:14.960
 scandalous

00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:15.639
 act of

00:21:15.639 --> 00:21:16.220
 service,

00:21:17.299 --> 00:21:17.960
 verse 12,

00:21:18.859 --> 00:21:19.599
 Jesus puts

00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:20.299
 back on

00:21:20.299 --> 00:21:21.059
 his outer

00:21:21.059 --> 00:21:21.680
 garments,

00:21:22.779 --> 00:21:23.099
 resumes

00:21:23.099 --> 00:21:23.720
 his place

00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:24.139
 at the

00:21:24.139 --> 00:21:24.579
 table,

00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:25.539
 and then

00:21:25.539 --> 00:21:26.220
 he asks

00:21:26.220 --> 00:21:27.019
 his disciples

00:21:27.019 --> 00:21:28.039
 a question.

00:21:28.299 --> 00:21:28.759
 He asks

00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:29.039
 them,

00:21:29.339 --> 00:21:29.680
 do you

00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:30.039
 understand

00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:30.339
 what I

00:21:30.339 --> 00:21:30.879
 just did?

00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:31.720
 In other

00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:32.039
 words,

00:21:32.259 --> 00:21:32.799
 do you

00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:33.180
 get it?

00:21:33.859 --> 00:21:34.399
 Do you

00:21:34.399 --> 00:21:34.720
 get the

00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:35.099
 object

00:21:35.099 --> 00:21:35.500
 lesson?

00:21:36.500 --> 00:21:36.779
 Do you

00:21:36.779 --> 00:21:37.059
 understand

00:21:37.059 --> 00:21:37.319
 what I

00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:37.720
 just did

00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:38.179
 to you?

00:21:39.139 --> 00:21:39.659
 Because

00:21:39.659 --> 00:21:40.299
 this

00:21:40.299 --> 00:21:40.779
 object

00:21:40.779 --> 00:21:41.200
 lesson

00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:42.059
 is a

00:21:42.059 --> 00:21:42.519
 gospel

00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:43.159
 kingdom

00:21:43.159 --> 00:21:43.720
 lesson.

00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:45.379
 You know,

00:21:45.419 --> 00:21:45.599
 when I

00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:45.799
 was a

00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:45.960
 young

00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:46.259
 football

00:21:46.259 --> 00:21:46.619
 player,

00:21:47.299 --> 00:21:48.059
 which was

00:21:48.059 --> 00:21:48.339
 a long

00:21:48.339 --> 00:21:48.899
 time ago,

00:21:49.539 --> 00:21:50.839
 my coaches

00:21:50.839 --> 00:21:51.559
 would show

00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:51.980
 me how

00:21:51.980 --> 00:21:52.480
 to tackle

00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:53.980
 and how

00:21:53.980 --> 00:21:54.539
 to block.

00:21:55.419 --> 00:21:55.879
 And they

00:21:55.879 --> 00:21:56.440
 would show

00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:57.039
 me how

00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:57.500
 to tackle

00:21:57.500 --> 00:21:57.839
 and how

00:21:57.839 --> 00:21:58.299
 to block,

00:21:58.500 --> 00:21:59.240
 not so

00:21:59.240 --> 00:21:59.519
 that I

00:21:59.519 --> 00:21:59.899
 could just

00:21:59.899 --> 00:22:00.639
 get head

00:22:00.639 --> 00:22:01.339
 knowledge and

00:22:01.339 --> 00:22:01.539
 like,

00:22:01.619 --> 00:22:01.740
 oh,

00:22:02.460 --> 00:22:02.859
 exceptional

00:22:02.859 --> 00:22:03.319
 form,

00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:03.679
 coach.

00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:04.380
 No,

00:22:04.500 --> 00:22:04.660
 they

00:22:04.660 --> 00:22:05.200
 wanted

00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:06.380
 me to

00:22:06.380 --> 00:22:06.740
 do it

00:22:06.740 --> 00:22:07.279
 myself.

00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:08.480
 And they

00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:08.900
 would ask,

00:22:09.140 --> 00:22:09.340
 do you

00:22:09.340 --> 00:22:09.799
 get it?

00:22:10.380 --> 00:22:10.799
 After they

00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:11.080
 would show

00:22:11.080 --> 00:22:11.259
 me.

00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:11.779
 And then

00:22:11.779 --> 00:22:12.019
 they'd be

00:22:12.019 --> 00:22:12.240
 like,

00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:13.060
 do it.

00:22:13.700 --> 00:22:14.060
 Practice

00:22:14.060 --> 00:22:14.420
 it.

00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:15.960
 What Jesus

00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:16.539
 is asking

00:22:16.539 --> 00:22:17.240
 here is,

00:22:17.620 --> 00:22:17.799
 do you

00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:18.100
 understand

00:22:18.100 --> 00:22:18.440
 what I've

00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:19.200
 just done

00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:19.480
 to you?

00:22:19.620 --> 00:22:20.080
 He's not

00:22:20.080 --> 00:22:20.860
 asking if

00:22:20.860 --> 00:22:21.500
 they get

00:22:21.500 --> 00:22:22.519
 it conceptually.

00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:23.980
 He's asking

00:22:23.980 --> 00:22:24.680
 if they get

00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:25.360
 it conceptually

00:22:25.360 --> 00:22:25.779
 so they

00:22:25.779 --> 00:22:26.259
 can do

00:22:26.259 --> 00:22:26.440
 it

00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:27.000
 themselves.

00:22:28.360 --> 00:22:28.880
 Do you

00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:29.160
 understand

00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:29.460
 what I've

00:22:29.460 --> 00:22:29.799
 done to

00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:29.980
 you?

00:22:31.259 --> 00:22:31.960
 He's not

00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:33.500
 asking about

00:22:33.500 --> 00:22:34.460
 foot washing

00:22:34.460 --> 00:22:35.400
 technique.

00:22:37.259 --> 00:22:38.059
 What he's

00:22:38.059 --> 00:22:39.400
 asking is

00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:40.299
 more about

00:22:40.299 --> 00:22:41.339
 heart

00:22:41.339 --> 00:22:42.400
 posture.

00:22:43.740 --> 00:22:44.539
 A heart

00:22:44.539 --> 00:22:45.779
 posture of

00:22:45.779 --> 00:22:46.319
 a citizen

00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:46.720
 of his

00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:47.019
 kingdom.

00:22:48.980 --> 00:22:49.720
 He's like,

00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:50.359
 do you

00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:51.660
 have the

00:22:51.660 --> 00:22:52.299
 same kind

00:22:52.299 --> 00:22:52.720
 of heart

00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:53.259
 towards one

00:22:53.259 --> 00:22:53.720
 another as

00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:54.220
 I have to

00:22:54.220 --> 00:22:54.440
 you?

00:22:56.500 --> 00:22:57.220
 Are you

00:22:57.220 --> 00:22:57.740
 a servant?

00:23:02.339 --> 00:23:02.980
 We're going

00:23:02.980 --> 00:23:03.259
 to see

00:23:03.259 --> 00:23:03.660
 in just

00:23:03.660 --> 00:23:04.200
 a second.

00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:05.420
 He's

00:23:05.420 --> 00:23:05.680
 going to

00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:06.200
 tell us

00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:07.039
 blessed

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:08.599
 are those

00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:09.220
 who

00:23:09.220 --> 00:23:09.980
 serve.

00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:12.440
 What we

00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:13.039
 have here

00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:13.380
 in verses

00:23:13.380 --> 00:23:14.700
 13 through

00:23:14.700 --> 00:23:16.140
 17 in

00:23:16.140 --> 00:23:16.599
 particular

00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:17.539
 is he

00:23:17.539 --> 00:23:17.980
 gives an

00:23:17.980 --> 00:23:18.640
 explanation

00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:19.940
 for his

00:23:19.940 --> 00:23:20.380
 example.

00:23:20.779 --> 00:23:21.160
 And he

00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:21.860
 uses what's

00:23:21.860 --> 00:23:22.279
 called an

00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:22.980
 if-then

00:23:22.980 --> 00:23:23.500
 argument.

00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:24.200
 He says,

00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:24.839
 if this

00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:25.360
 is true,

00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:26.360
 then this

00:23:26.360 --> 00:23:26.779
 is true.

00:23:27.099 --> 00:23:27.460
 And in

00:23:27.460 --> 00:23:28.039
 verse 13

00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:28.480
 he starts

00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:28.900
 setting it

00:23:28.900 --> 00:23:29.079
 up.

00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:29.440
 Look how

00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:29.740
 he sets

00:23:29.740 --> 00:23:30.059
 it up.

00:23:31.019 --> 00:23:31.220
 Jesus

00:23:31.220 --> 00:23:31.700
 says,

00:23:32.620 --> 00:23:32.900
 you call

00:23:32.900 --> 00:23:33.380
 me teacher

00:23:33.380 --> 00:23:33.799
 and Lord

00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:34.079
 and you

00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:34.460
 are right

00:23:34.460 --> 00:23:34.859
 for so

00:23:34.859 --> 00:23:35.220
 I am.

00:23:35.579 --> 00:23:35.720
 Do you

00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:35.880
 know what

00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:36.220
 he's saying?

00:23:37.220 --> 00:23:37.599
 He's saying

00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:38.039
 I'm greater

00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:38.440
 than you.

00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:40.620
 He's saying

00:23:40.620 --> 00:23:41.519
 you call

00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:42.019
 me teacher,

00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:42.660
 it's a

00:23:42.660 --> 00:23:43.319
 position of

00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:44.019
 authority,

00:23:44.259 --> 00:23:44.759
 you call

00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:45.500
 me Lord,

00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:46.220
 master,

00:23:46.579 --> 00:23:47.059
 and it's

00:23:47.059 --> 00:23:47.259
 true,

00:23:47.339 --> 00:23:47.579
 it's good

00:23:47.579 --> 00:23:47.799
 and right

00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:48.140
 you're saying

00:23:48.140 --> 00:23:48.559
 that because

00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:48.960
 I am.

00:23:49.700 --> 00:23:50.160
 And what

00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:50.839
 we know

00:23:50.839 --> 00:23:51.940
 is Jesus

00:23:51.940 --> 00:23:53.059
 has more

00:23:53.059 --> 00:23:53.640
 authority

00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:54.359
 than just

00:23:54.359 --> 00:23:54.920
 by way

00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:55.880
 of role.

00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:57.039
 He has

00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:57.880
 authority over

00:23:57.880 --> 00:23:58.440
 all people

00:23:58.440 --> 00:23:59.520
 because he

00:23:59.520 --> 00:24:00.040
 is God

00:24:00.040 --> 00:24:00.580
 incarnate,

00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:02.360
 the Christ,

00:24:02.900 --> 00:24:03.620
 son of

00:24:03.620 --> 00:24:03.960
 man,

00:24:04.080 --> 00:24:04.400
 the son

00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:04.920
 of God.

00:24:08.620 --> 00:24:09.500
 So then

00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:09.860
 he goes

00:24:09.860 --> 00:24:10.440
 from 13,

00:24:10.560 --> 00:24:11.240
 he's established

00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:11.820
 that he

00:24:11.820 --> 00:24:13.220
 has greater

00:24:13.220 --> 00:24:13.960
 authority,

00:24:14.500 --> 00:24:15.440
 greater nature

00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:16.420
 than them,

00:24:17.020 --> 00:24:17.620
 and then

00:24:17.620 --> 00:24:18.500
 14 is the

00:24:18.500 --> 00:24:19.460
 actual argument.

00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:20.180
 He says,

00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:22.000
 if I

00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:22.480
 then,

00:24:23.260 --> 00:24:24.360
 your Lord

00:24:24.360 --> 00:24:26.040
 and teacher,

00:24:26.280 --> 00:24:27.060
 have washed

00:24:27.059 --> 00:24:28.179
 your feet,

00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:30.879
 then you

00:24:30.879 --> 00:24:32.259
 also ought

00:24:32.259 --> 00:24:32.879
 to wash

00:24:32.879 --> 00:24:33.679
 one another's

00:24:33.679 --> 00:24:33.859
 feet.

00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:34.919
 That's the

00:24:34.919 --> 00:24:35.200
 if-then

00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:35.519
 argument.

00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:36.899
 If it's

00:24:36.899 --> 00:24:37.319
 true of

00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:38.539
 me that

00:24:38.539 --> 00:24:39.559
 I'm washing

00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:40.000
 your feet

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:40.379
 and I'm

00:24:40.379 --> 00:24:40.960
 greater than

00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:41.299
 you,

00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:42.740
 then you,

00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:43.740
 my disciples

00:24:43.740 --> 00:24:44.460
 who are

00:24:44.460 --> 00:24:44.980
 less than

00:24:44.980 --> 00:24:45.440
 me,

00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:46.519
 then you

00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:47.159
 must wash

00:24:47.159 --> 00:24:47.819
 other people's

00:24:47.819 --> 00:24:48.399
 feet as well.

00:24:48.879 --> 00:24:49.179
 See the

00:24:49.179 --> 00:24:49.399
 argument?

00:24:51.139 --> 00:24:51.619
 In verse

00:24:51.619 --> 00:24:52.200
 15,

00:24:52.379 --> 00:24:53.059
 Jesus says,

00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:54.859
 for I have

00:24:54.859 --> 00:24:55.339
 given you an

00:24:55.339 --> 00:24:56.399
 example that

00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:57.220
 you also

00:24:57.220 --> 00:24:57.720
 should do

00:24:57.720 --> 00:24:58.560
 just as I

00:24:58.560 --> 00:24:58.940
 have done

00:24:58.940 --> 00:24:59.320
 to you.

00:24:59.540 --> 00:25:00.100
 There's the

00:25:00.100 --> 00:25:00.700
 explanation.

00:25:01.320 --> 00:25:01.580
 This

00:25:01.580 --> 00:25:02.160
 example,

00:25:02.300 --> 00:25:02.840
 this object

00:25:02.840 --> 00:25:03.380
 lesson,

00:25:03.660 --> 00:25:04.040
 is an

00:25:04.040 --> 00:25:04.360
 object

00:25:04.360 --> 00:25:05.160
 lesson in

00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:05.720
 how his

00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:06.300
 kingdom,

00:25:07.060 --> 00:25:07.860
 how it

00:25:07.860 --> 00:25:08.259
 rolls.

00:25:08.980 --> 00:25:09.220
 Kingdom

00:25:09.220 --> 00:25:09.700
 ethics,

00:25:09.800 --> 00:25:10.080
 how we

00:25:10.080 --> 00:25:10.519
 relate to

00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:10.960
 one another.

00:25:12.140 --> 00:25:12.420
 Verse

00:25:12.420 --> 00:25:12.940
 16,

00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:13.860
 he drops

00:25:13.860 --> 00:25:14.280
 a truly,

00:25:14.420 --> 00:25:14.660
 truly,

00:25:15.120 --> 00:25:15.680
 he's like

00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:16.140
 saying,

00:25:17.380 --> 00:25:17.780
 let me

00:25:17.780 --> 00:25:18.080
 give it to

00:25:18.080 --> 00:25:18.480
 you straight.

00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:20.500
 This is

00:25:20.500 --> 00:25:20.720
 how it

00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:21.300
 really is.

00:25:22.460 --> 00:25:23.060
 I say

00:25:23.060 --> 00:25:23.300
 to you,

00:25:23.380 --> 00:25:23.740
 a servant

00:25:23.740 --> 00:25:24.080
 is no

00:25:24.080 --> 00:25:24.600
 greater than

00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:25.179
 his master,

00:25:25.719 --> 00:25:26.240
 they're the

00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:26.599
 servants,

00:25:26.779 --> 00:25:27.179
 he's the

00:25:27.179 --> 00:25:27.599
 master,

00:25:28.219 --> 00:25:28.939
 nor is a

00:25:28.939 --> 00:25:29.299
 messenger

00:25:29.299 --> 00:25:29.879
 greater than

00:25:29.879 --> 00:25:30.139
 the one

00:25:30.139 --> 00:25:30.519
 who sent

00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:30.719
 them.

00:25:30.779 --> 00:25:31.079
 In this

00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:31.399
 case,

00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:32.439
 they're the

00:25:32.439 --> 00:25:32.980
 messengers,

00:25:33.399 --> 00:25:33.879
 he's the

00:25:33.879 --> 00:25:34.159
 one who

00:25:34.159 --> 00:25:34.819
 sent them,

00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:36.339
 and he's

00:25:36.339 --> 00:25:36.639
 saying,

00:25:37.059 --> 00:25:37.879
 because of

00:25:37.879 --> 00:25:38.179
 this,

00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:38.619
 because I'm

00:25:38.619 --> 00:25:39.159
 greater than

00:25:39.159 --> 00:25:39.480
 you,

00:25:39.719 --> 00:25:40.079
 you're going

00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:40.619
 to follow

00:25:40.619 --> 00:25:40.939
 me,

00:25:40.959 --> 00:25:41.319
 because I'm

00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:42.000
 your king,

00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:43.159
 into serving

00:25:43.159 --> 00:25:43.959
 one another,

00:25:44.679 --> 00:25:45.399
 being a

00:25:45.399 --> 00:25:45.679
 servant.

00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:48.279
 And then in

00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:49.019
 verse 17,

00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:49.959
 what we see

00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:51.720
 is the

00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:52.299
 beatitude.

00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:55.579
 He says,

00:25:55.740 --> 00:25:56.079
 if you

00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:56.620
 know these

00:25:56.620 --> 00:25:57.200
 things,

00:25:58.799 --> 00:25:59.400
 blessed are

00:25:59.400 --> 00:25:59.900
 you if you

00:25:59.900 --> 00:26:00.299
 do them.

00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:02.640
 Do you

00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:02.819
 know where

00:26:02.819 --> 00:26:03.220
 the blessing

00:26:03.220 --> 00:26:03.920
 is found?

00:26:05.299 --> 00:26:05.920
 Not in

00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:06.340
 the knowing,

00:26:07.340 --> 00:26:08.240
 in the

00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:08.500
 doing.

00:26:10.100 --> 00:26:11.360
 The blessing

00:26:11.360 --> 00:26:11.819
 that he's

00:26:11.819 --> 00:26:12.420
 speaking of

00:26:12.420 --> 00:26:13.440
 is not

00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:14.660
 in the

00:26:14.660 --> 00:26:15.299
 knowledge,

00:26:15.539 --> 00:26:16.640
 in the

00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:17.700
 theory of

00:26:17.700 --> 00:26:18.019
 being a

00:26:18.019 --> 00:26:18.279
 servant,

00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:18.399
 servant,

00:26:19.660 --> 00:26:21.399
 the blessing

00:26:21.399 --> 00:26:22.019
 is in the

00:26:22.019 --> 00:26:23.099
 practice of

00:26:23.099 --> 00:26:23.420
 being a

00:26:23.420 --> 00:26:23.619
 servant.

00:26:24.819 --> 00:26:25.139
 It's

00:26:25.139 --> 00:26:25.920
 posture of

00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:26.480
 heart lived

00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:26.899
 out in

00:26:26.899 --> 00:26:27.420
 practice.

00:26:29.859 --> 00:26:30.440
 When you

00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:30.720
 think of

00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:31.259
 beatitudes,

00:26:32.019 --> 00:26:33.019
 maybe you

00:26:33.019 --> 00:26:33.399
 think of the

00:26:33.399 --> 00:26:34.259
 beatitudes in

00:26:34.259 --> 00:26:34.720
 the Sermon on

00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:35.039
 the Mount,

00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:36.059
 that's in

00:26:36.059 --> 00:26:36.700
 Matthew chapter

00:26:36.700 --> 00:26:37.160
 5.

00:26:37.700 --> 00:26:37.960
 Do you

00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:38.279
 remember what

00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:38.639
 the first

00:26:38.639 --> 00:26:39.139
 beatitude

00:26:39.139 --> 00:26:39.480
 is?

00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:41.920
 Blessed are

00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:42.299
 the poor

00:26:42.299 --> 00:26:42.799
 in spirit,

00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:44.960
 for theirs

00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:45.279
 is the

00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:45.700
 kingdom of

00:26:45.700 --> 00:26:45.960
 heaven.

00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:47.500
 Poor in

00:26:47.500 --> 00:26:47.940
 spirit is

00:26:47.940 --> 00:26:48.460
 just talking

00:26:48.460 --> 00:26:48.920
 about another

00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:49.320
 way of

00:26:49.320 --> 00:26:50.160
 humility,

00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:52.000
 talking about

00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:52.620
 servanthood.

00:26:53.259 --> 00:26:53.620
 It's a

00:26:53.620 --> 00:26:54.220
 posture of

00:26:54.220 --> 00:26:54.720
 heart that

00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:55.440
 is true

00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:56.380
 of those

00:26:56.380 --> 00:26:56.860
 who belong

00:26:56.860 --> 00:26:57.480
 to Christ's

00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:57.779
 kingdom.

00:26:59.380 --> 00:27:00.360
 It's the

00:27:00.360 --> 00:27:00.940
 beginning of

00:27:00.940 --> 00:27:01.500
 servanthood.

00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:02.140
 At the

00:27:02.140 --> 00:27:03.000
 very heart

00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:03.880
 of servanthood

00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:06.539
 is humility,

00:27:08.059 --> 00:27:09.120
 being poor

00:27:09.120 --> 00:27:09.840
 in spirit.

00:27:11.100 --> 00:27:12.140
 That word

00:27:12.140 --> 00:27:12.759
 blessed

00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:14.299
 carries the

00:27:14.299 --> 00:27:14.840
 sense of

00:27:14.840 --> 00:27:16.500
 joy and

00:27:16.500 --> 00:27:17.240
 happiness.

00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:18.940
 What Jesus

00:27:18.940 --> 00:27:19.460
 is getting

00:27:19.460 --> 00:27:20.019
 at is this,

00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:21.380
 it's the

00:27:21.380 --> 00:27:22.079
 good life.

00:27:23.180 --> 00:27:23.839
 The good

00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:24.700
 life in

00:27:24.700 --> 00:27:25.079
 God's

00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:26.079
 kingdom is

00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:26.779
 not being

00:27:26.779 --> 00:27:27.380
 served by

00:27:27.380 --> 00:27:27.759
 others,

00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:29.099
 it's serving

00:27:29.099 --> 00:27:29.819
 others.

00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:32.480
 There's joy

00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:33.180
 in that.

00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:34.539
 I define

00:27:34.539 --> 00:27:35.740
 humility as

00:27:35.740 --> 00:27:36.440
 simply this,

00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:37.579
 living in

00:27:37.579 --> 00:27:38.019
 reality.

00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:39.960
 Humility is

00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:40.480
 living in the

00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:41.279
 reality of who

00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:42.539
 Jesus is and

00:27:42.539 --> 00:27:43.440
 who you are

00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:44.460
 and who other

00:27:44.460 --> 00:27:45.079
 people are.

00:27:45.180 --> 00:27:45.420
 And when

00:27:45.420 --> 00:27:46.380
 you're living

00:27:46.380 --> 00:27:46.960
 in the truth

00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:47.500
 and reality

00:27:47.500 --> 00:27:48.279
 of all that,

00:27:49.059 --> 00:27:50.059
 you're living

00:27:50.059 --> 00:27:50.880
 humbly.

00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:53.299
 You've got the

00:27:53.299 --> 00:27:54.019
 right posture

00:27:54.019 --> 00:27:54.960
 towards God,

00:27:55.500 --> 00:27:55.960
 yourself,

00:27:56.380 --> 00:27:57.180
 and others.

00:27:57.539 --> 00:27:58.100
 That's

00:27:58.100 --> 00:27:58.960
 humility.

00:27:59.920 --> 00:28:00.960
 It's the

00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:01.440
 Copernican

00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:02.180
 revolution of

00:28:02.180 --> 00:28:02.539
 the soul.

00:28:02.660 --> 00:28:02.920
 Remember

00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:03.620
 Copernicus?

00:28:03.860 --> 00:28:04.700
 He's the guy

00:28:04.700 --> 00:28:05.559
 that discovered

00:28:05.559 --> 00:28:06.559
 that the sun

00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:07.100
 doesn't orbit

00:28:07.100 --> 00:28:07.539
 the earth,

00:28:07.620 --> 00:28:08.100
 but the earth

00:28:08.100 --> 00:28:09.059
 orbits the sun.

00:28:09.420 --> 00:28:10.019
 And similarly,

00:28:10.860 --> 00:28:12.100
 when we have

00:28:12.100 --> 00:28:12.840
 our eyes open

00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:13.379
 to Jesus,

00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:14.959
 Jesus brings

00:28:14.959 --> 00:28:15.899
 us into the

00:28:15.899 --> 00:28:17.240
 reality that

00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:18.699
 Jesus doesn't

00:28:18.699 --> 00:28:19.639
 exist for me.

00:28:20.139 --> 00:28:21.439
 I'm not the

00:28:21.439 --> 00:28:22.059
 sun of my

00:28:22.059 --> 00:28:22.779
 solar system,

00:28:23.199 --> 00:28:24.000
 and Jesus

00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:24.859
 orbits me.

00:28:24.939 --> 00:28:25.819
 No, I orbit

00:28:25.819 --> 00:28:26.319
 him.

00:28:27.179 --> 00:28:27.699
 He's at the

00:28:27.699 --> 00:28:28.220
 center of all

00:28:28.220 --> 00:28:28.639
 things.

00:28:29.419 --> 00:28:30.399
 I don't live

00:28:30.399 --> 00:28:31.959
 for myself.

00:28:32.419 --> 00:28:33.179
 I live for

00:28:33.179 --> 00:28:33.720
 Christ,

00:28:34.379 --> 00:28:35.419
 and he says

00:28:35.419 --> 00:28:36.259
 serve others.

00:28:37.419 --> 00:28:37.839
 And so when

00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:38.579
 you come into

00:28:38.579 --> 00:28:39.419
 Jesus' orbit,

00:28:40.579 --> 00:28:41.099
 you're going to

00:28:41.099 --> 00:28:42.079
 become like him.

00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:43.980
 in serving

00:28:43.980 --> 00:28:45.240
 other people,

00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:47.159
 and doing

00:28:47.159 --> 00:28:48.799
 that in

00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:49.480
 maybe menial

00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:50.159
 ways.

00:28:53.299 --> 00:28:54.379
 What we have

00:28:54.379 --> 00:28:55.799
 here is an

00:28:55.799 --> 00:28:57.799
 explanation that

00:28:57.799 --> 00:28:58.599
 has now moved

00:28:58.599 --> 00:29:00.259
 into exhortation.

00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:02.759
 You're being

00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:03.980
 urged by

00:29:03.980 --> 00:29:04.299
 Jesus.

00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:06.079
 It's like,

00:29:06.299 --> 00:29:07.059
 this is who

00:29:07.059 --> 00:29:07.759
 you are.

00:29:07.859 --> 00:29:08.619
 Now live it

00:29:08.619 --> 00:29:08.919
 out.

00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:10.379
 I'm not telling

00:29:10.379 --> 00:29:11.139
 you these things

00:29:11.139 --> 00:29:11.919
 or showing you

00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:12.640
 these things so

00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:12.940
 you can be

00:29:12.940 --> 00:29:13.660
 like, oh,

00:29:13.700 --> 00:29:14.400
 that's interesting.

00:29:14.800 --> 00:29:15.420
 No, he's

00:29:15.420 --> 00:29:16.039
 telling us these

00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:16.700
 things for us

00:29:16.700 --> 00:29:17.560
 to do them,

00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:19.060
 to live them

00:29:19.060 --> 00:29:20.860
 out as he

00:29:20.860 --> 00:29:21.720
 himself has.

00:29:24.660 --> 00:29:25.240
 He's like,

00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:25.960
 go be blessed.

00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:28.740
 Serve others

00:29:28.740 --> 00:29:29.519
 as I have

00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:30.220
 served you.

00:29:31.259 --> 00:29:31.660
 It's,

00:29:31.779 --> 00:29:32.340
 another way to

00:29:32.340 --> 00:29:32.900
 talk about it

00:29:32.900 --> 00:29:34.080
 is Philippians,

00:29:34.320 --> 00:29:34.820
 the way Paul

00:29:34.820 --> 00:29:35.340
 talks about it

00:29:35.340 --> 00:29:35.820
 in Philippians

00:29:35.820 --> 00:29:36.120
 too.

00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:36.660
 He says,

00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:37.300
 so if there's

00:29:37.300 --> 00:29:38.220
 any encouragement

00:29:38.220 --> 00:29:38.779
 in Christ,

00:29:39.120 --> 00:29:39.700
 any comfort

00:29:39.700 --> 00:29:40.220
 from love,

00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:40.980
 any participation

00:29:40.980 --> 00:29:41.799
 in the spirit,

00:29:42.140 --> 00:29:42.900
 any affection

00:29:42.900 --> 00:29:43.579
 and sympathy,

00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:45.079
 complete my joy

00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:45.860
 by being of the

00:29:45.860 --> 00:29:46.299
 same mind,

00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:47.019
 having the same

00:29:47.019 --> 00:29:47.319
 love,

00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:48.180
 being in full

00:29:48.180 --> 00:29:48.860
 accord and of

00:29:48.860 --> 00:29:49.259
 one mind,

00:29:49.420 --> 00:29:50.259
 what does that

00:29:50.259 --> 00:29:50.839
 look like?

00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:52.120
 He says,

00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:53.200
 do nothing from

00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:54.100
 selfish ambition

00:29:54.100 --> 00:29:54.940
 or conceit,

00:29:55.420 --> 00:29:57.059
 but in humility

00:29:57.059 --> 00:29:58.519
 count others

00:29:58.519 --> 00:29:59.440
 more significant

00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:00.160
 than yourselves.

00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:01.120
 Let each of you

00:30:01.120 --> 00:30:01.900
 look not only to

00:30:01.900 --> 00:30:02.579
 his own interests,

00:30:02.700 --> 00:30:03.380
 but also to the

00:30:03.380 --> 00:30:04.180
 interests of others,

00:30:04.539 --> 00:30:05.480
 having this mind

00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:06.220
 among yourselves,

00:30:06.220 --> 00:30:06.920
 which is yours

00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:07.400
 and Jesus,

00:30:07.740 --> 00:30:08.279
 and then he

00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:08.900
 talks about how

00:30:08.900 --> 00:30:09.500
 Jesus humbled

00:30:09.500 --> 00:30:10.579
 himself by

00:30:10.579 --> 00:30:11.480
 taking on flesh

00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:12.180
 the form of a

00:30:12.180 --> 00:30:12.420
 servant.

00:30:14.380 --> 00:30:15.819
 It's normal

00:30:15.819 --> 00:30:16.500
 Christian living.

00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:19.839
 Humility is

00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:21.220
 the essential

00:30:21.220 --> 00:30:22.259
 posture of heart

00:30:22.259 --> 00:30:23.319
 for every Christian

00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:24.180
 who follows

00:30:24.180 --> 00:30:25.019
 Jesus.

00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:32.720
 This beatitude

00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:34.680
 in verse 17

00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:37.160
 Jesus is speaking

00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:37.860
 of a joy

00:30:37.860 --> 00:30:40.060
 that he knows

00:30:40.060 --> 00:30:40.720
 personally.

00:30:42.840 --> 00:30:43.820
 For the joy set

00:30:43.820 --> 00:30:44.340
 before him,

00:30:45.340 --> 00:30:46.500
 he endured the

00:30:46.500 --> 00:30:46.880
 cross,

00:30:47.980 --> 00:30:48.440
 scorning its

00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:48.680
 shame.

00:30:49.840 --> 00:30:50.820
 He knows this

00:30:50.820 --> 00:30:51.100
 joy,

00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:52.680
 and he wants

00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:53.680
 us to personally

00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:55.240
 experience the

00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:56.360
 good life of the

00:30:56.360 --> 00:30:56.680
 kingdom,

00:30:57.340 --> 00:30:58.960
 the joy of

00:30:58.960 --> 00:30:59.680
 serving others,

00:31:00.820 --> 00:31:02.160
 but he does touch

00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:03.060
 on an exception

00:31:03.059 --> 00:31:05.079
 at the end

00:31:05.079 --> 00:31:05.419
 here.

00:31:06.539 --> 00:31:07.279
 He says in

00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:08.319
 verse 18,

00:31:08.399 --> 00:31:08.940
 I'm not speaking

00:31:08.940 --> 00:31:09.519
 of all of you.

00:31:09.659 --> 00:31:10.539
 I know who I've

00:31:10.539 --> 00:31:10.839
 chosen,

00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:11.500
 but the scripture

00:31:11.500 --> 00:31:12.419
 will be fulfilled.

00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:13.879
 And then he quotes

00:31:13.879 --> 00:31:15.220
 Psalm 41.9

00:31:15.220 --> 00:31:15.919
 in reference

00:31:15.919 --> 00:31:17.839
 to Judas.

00:31:19.099 --> 00:31:19.639
 He who ate

00:31:19.639 --> 00:31:20.319
 my bread

00:31:20.319 --> 00:31:21.759
 at the supper

00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:22.960
 has lifted

00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:23.740
 his heel against

00:31:23.740 --> 00:31:24.019
 me.

00:31:24.279 --> 00:31:24.740
 He's going to

00:31:24.740 --> 00:31:25.539
 betray me.

00:31:25.980 --> 00:31:26.480
 And then he

00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:26.639
 says,

00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:27.319
 I'm telling you

00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:28.220
 this now,

00:31:28.940 --> 00:31:29.700
 before it takes

00:31:29.700 --> 00:31:30.740
 place regarding

00:31:30.740 --> 00:31:31.759
 Judas' betrayal,

00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:32.799
 that when it

00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:33.160
 does take

00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:33.400
 place,

00:31:33.460 --> 00:31:33.680
 you may

00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:34.160
 believe that

00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:34.759
 I am he.

00:31:35.579 --> 00:31:35.920
 And that

00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:36.839
 little I am

00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:38.180
 he is the

00:31:38.180 --> 00:31:39.240
 Greek phrase

00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:40.160
 ego emi,

00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:41.619
 I am.

00:31:42.619 --> 00:31:43.019
 In other

00:31:43.019 --> 00:31:43.339
 words,

00:31:43.839 --> 00:31:44.460
 even in my

00:31:44.460 --> 00:31:45.019
 betrayal,

00:31:45.940 --> 00:31:46.759
 it will be

00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:47.319
 made known

00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:47.920
 to you that

00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:48.579
 I'm God in

00:31:48.579 --> 00:31:49.019
 the flesh.

00:31:49.019 --> 00:31:54.180
 the point

00:31:54.180 --> 00:31:54.819
 of all this

00:31:54.819 --> 00:31:56.839
 is that

00:31:56.839 --> 00:31:57.680
 because Jesus

00:31:57.680 --> 00:31:58.579
 has served

00:31:58.579 --> 00:31:59.319
 us,

00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:01.859
 we serve

00:32:01.859 --> 00:32:02.500
 one another.

00:32:04.019 --> 00:32:04.400
 Blessed

00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:06.379
 are those

00:32:06.379 --> 00:32:07.539
 who serve

00:32:07.539 --> 00:32:08.500
 because he

00:32:08.500 --> 00:32:09.420
 served us

00:32:09.420 --> 00:32:10.279
 with a

00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:11.240
 humble posture

00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:12.519
 in very

00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:13.700
 practical

00:32:13.700 --> 00:32:14.599
 service.

00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:15.900
 We serve

00:32:15.900 --> 00:32:16.359
 one another

00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:16.819
 both in

00:32:16.819 --> 00:32:17.420
 posture and

00:32:17.420 --> 00:32:17.960
 practice.

00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:19.620
 because of

00:32:19.620 --> 00:32:20.019
 Jesus,

00:32:20.420 --> 00:32:21.259
 we no longer

00:32:21.259 --> 00:32:21.740
 serve

00:32:21.740 --> 00:32:22.420
 ourselves

00:32:22.420 --> 00:32:23.579
 and we

00:32:23.579 --> 00:32:24.000
 no longer

00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:24.600
 see other

00:32:24.600 --> 00:32:25.480
 people as

00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:26.900
 serving us.

00:32:27.579 --> 00:32:28.420
 Because of

00:32:28.420 --> 00:32:28.880
 Jesus,

00:32:29.380 --> 00:32:31.059
 now we

00:32:31.059 --> 00:32:31.559
 serve

00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:32.120
 others.

00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:34.220
 So let's

00:32:34.220 --> 00:32:34.819
 apply this

00:32:34.819 --> 00:32:35.440
 for the time

00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:36.019
 that's remaining

00:32:36.019 --> 00:32:37.360
 in two general

00:32:37.360 --> 00:32:38.120
 categories,

00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:39.160
 posture of

00:32:39.160 --> 00:32:39.460
 heart,

00:32:40.460 --> 00:32:40.920
 day-to-day

00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:41.500
 practice.

00:32:42.460 --> 00:32:43.259
 So let's

00:32:43.259 --> 00:32:44.019
 talk about

00:32:44.019 --> 00:32:44.799
 posture of

00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:45.019
 heart.

00:32:45.019 --> 00:32:46.779
 the way

00:32:46.779 --> 00:32:47.440
 to leave

00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:48.119
 this building

00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:51.359
 is sensing

00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:52.180
 a call

00:32:52.180 --> 00:32:52.980
 to humility

00:32:52.980 --> 00:32:55.220
 that leave

00:32:55.220 --> 00:32:55.779
 this building

00:32:55.779 --> 00:32:56.420
 this morning

00:32:56.420 --> 00:32:57.000
 saying,

00:32:57.720 --> 00:32:58.319
 it is good

00:32:58.319 --> 00:32:58.819
 for me to

00:32:58.819 --> 00:32:59.579
 humble myself

00:32:59.579 --> 00:33:00.299
 because Jesus

00:33:00.299 --> 00:33:01.019
 humbled himself.

00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:02.480
 Remember,

00:33:02.619 --> 00:33:03.359
 humility is just

00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:04.220
 living in reality

00:33:04.220 --> 00:33:06.139
 of who Jesus

00:33:06.139 --> 00:33:06.859
 is and who

00:33:06.859 --> 00:33:07.339
 you are.

00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:08.319
 So let me do

00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:08.839
 some math

00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:09.500
 and you answer

00:33:09.500 --> 00:33:10.019
 the question,

00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:11.099
 is Jesus

00:33:11.099 --> 00:33:11.980
 greater than,

00:33:12.139 --> 00:33:12.579
 less than,

00:33:12.639 --> 00:33:13.339
 or equal to

00:33:13.339 --> 00:33:13.740
 you,

00:33:14.779 --> 00:33:15.799
 greater than.

00:33:15.879 --> 00:33:16.339
 He's greater

00:33:16.339 --> 00:33:16.799
 than me,

00:33:16.919 --> 00:33:17.359
 he's greater

00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:18.099
 than all.

00:33:19.059 --> 00:33:19.579
 And if he

00:33:19.579 --> 00:33:20.459
 humbled himself,

00:33:21.399 --> 00:33:21.919
 if he became

00:33:21.919 --> 00:33:22.439
 a man,

00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:24.559
 washed grimy

00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:25.019
 feet,

00:33:26.419 --> 00:33:27.220
 gave himself

00:33:27.220 --> 00:33:28.480
 his life

00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:29.019
 as a ransom

00:33:29.019 --> 00:33:29.539
 for many,

00:33:29.659 --> 00:33:30.139
 we must

00:33:30.139 --> 00:33:30.519
 humble

00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:31.279
 ourselves

00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:31.759
 too.

00:33:32.019 --> 00:33:33.079
 So humility

00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:34.019
 is to

00:33:34.019 --> 00:33:34.500
 characterize

00:33:34.500 --> 00:33:35.879
 all of us.

00:33:35.959 --> 00:33:36.759
 It's Philippians

00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:37.179
 2.

00:33:37.379 --> 00:33:38.159
 It's the

00:33:38.159 --> 00:33:38.579
 principal

00:33:38.579 --> 00:33:39.480
 posture of

00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:39.839
 heart.

00:33:40.259 --> 00:33:40.679
 So when you

00:33:40.679 --> 00:33:41.359
 leave here,

00:33:41.639 --> 00:33:42.220
 you might want

00:33:42.220 --> 00:33:42.659
 to leave here

00:33:42.660 --> 00:33:42.920
 saying,

00:33:43.019 --> 00:33:43.259
 oh God,

00:33:43.300 --> 00:33:43.519
 would you

00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:43.840
 help me

00:33:43.840 --> 00:33:44.160
 to humble

00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:44.640
 myself?

00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:47.400
 The second

00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:48.200
 heart posture

00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:48.960
 is joy.

00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:51.680
 It's joy

00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:52.220
 to serve

00:33:52.220 --> 00:33:52.640
 others.

00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:54.420
 So if you

00:33:54.420 --> 00:33:55.460
 are grumbling,

00:33:57.019 --> 00:33:57.580
 complaining,

00:33:59.220 --> 00:33:59.840
 whining

00:33:59.840 --> 00:34:01.600
 about helping

00:34:01.600 --> 00:34:02.140
 others,

00:34:02.640 --> 00:34:03.460
 that should

00:34:03.460 --> 00:34:04.400
 be an indicator

00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:04.940
 that your

00:34:04.940 --> 00:34:05.820
 heart is not

00:34:05.820 --> 00:34:06.640
 postured right.

00:34:07.940 --> 00:34:08.700
 Maybe it's

00:34:08.700 --> 00:34:09.119
 the result

00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:09.480
 from being

00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:10.220
 overextended,

00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:10.599
 there are

00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:11.539
 realities there,

00:34:11.539 --> 00:34:13.380
 but sometimes

00:34:13.380 --> 00:34:14.360
 it's because

00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:15.019
 you're insisting

00:34:15.019 --> 00:34:15.400
 on your own

00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:15.639
 way.

00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:17.659
 You're

00:34:17.659 --> 00:34:18.159
 actually

00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:19.519
 wanting to

00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:20.300
 serve in

00:34:20.300 --> 00:34:20.920
 practice

00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:22.179
 without having

00:34:22.179 --> 00:34:22.639
 the right

00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:23.579
 posture of

00:34:23.579 --> 00:34:23.900
 heart.

00:34:24.860 --> 00:34:25.199
 And the

00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:25.599
 way that

00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:25.980
 we go

00:34:25.980 --> 00:34:26.500
 about getting

00:34:26.500 --> 00:34:27.079
 the right

00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:27.940
 posture of

00:34:27.940 --> 00:34:28.420
 heart,

00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:29.099
 a humble

00:34:29.099 --> 00:34:29.659
 posture of

00:34:29.659 --> 00:34:29.880
 heart,

00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:30.559
 when we're

00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:30.800
 in the

00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:31.159
 midst of

00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:31.519
 serving,

00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:32.360
 is fixing

00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:32.980
 our eyes

00:34:32.980 --> 00:34:33.739
 on Jesus,

00:34:34.940 --> 00:34:35.500
 the author

00:34:35.500 --> 00:34:36.340
 and perfecter

00:34:36.340 --> 00:34:36.800
 of our

00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:37.259
 faith,

00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:38.219
 who for

00:34:38.219 --> 00:34:38.599
 the joy

00:34:38.599 --> 00:34:39.239
 set before

00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:40.000
 him endured

00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:41.380
 the cross.

00:34:43.380 --> 00:34:44.239
 Joy is

00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:44.820
 to be

00:34:44.820 --> 00:34:46.199
 fought for

00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:46.780
 in the

00:34:46.780 --> 00:34:47.059
 Christian

00:34:47.059 --> 00:34:47.440
 faith.

00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:49.199
 We can

00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:49.539
 descend

00:34:49.539 --> 00:34:50.420
 quickly just

00:34:50.420 --> 00:34:50.880
 into the

00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:51.199
 nuts and

00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:52.099
 bolts of

00:34:52.099 --> 00:34:52.679
 serving

00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:54.139
 practicalities

00:34:54.139 --> 00:34:54.679
 and not

00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:55.059
 tend to

00:34:55.059 --> 00:34:55.579
 our hearts.

00:34:56.880 --> 00:34:57.159
 Humble

00:34:57.159 --> 00:34:57.699
 yourself,

00:34:57.900 --> 00:34:58.400
 experiencing

00:34:58.400 --> 00:34:58.980
 the joy

00:34:58.980 --> 00:34:59.280
 of the

00:34:59.280 --> 00:34:59.559
 Savior.

00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:00.579
 Fix

00:35:00.579 --> 00:35:01.119
 your eyes

00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:01.800
 on him.

00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:02.619
 Blessed

00:35:02.619 --> 00:35:03.980
 are those

00:35:03.980 --> 00:35:05.480
 who humble

00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:05.940
 themselves.

00:35:05.940 --> 00:35:09.360
 I just

00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:09.539
 want to

00:35:09.539 --> 00:35:09.840
 say one

00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:10.159
 more thing

00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:10.539
 before I

00:35:10.539 --> 00:35:10.820
 get some

00:35:10.820 --> 00:35:11.099
 more

00:35:11.099 --> 00:35:12.019
 practicalities.

00:35:13.579 --> 00:35:14.179
 This has

00:35:14.179 --> 00:35:14.539
 to do with

00:35:14.539 --> 00:35:15.159
 posture of

00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:15.400
 heart.

00:35:17.420 --> 00:35:18.179
 What Jesus

00:35:18.179 --> 00:35:18.840
 is telling

00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:19.340
 us here

00:35:19.340 --> 00:35:22.559
 is not

00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:22.920
 a matter

00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:23.440
 of gifting.

00:35:27.500 --> 00:35:28.079
 All of

00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:28.380
 us are

00:35:28.380 --> 00:35:28.760
 called to

00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:29.039
 serve.

00:35:30.820 --> 00:35:31.360
 All of

00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:31.619
 us are

00:35:31.619 --> 00:35:32.039
 called to

00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:32.320
 have a

00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:32.500
 humble

00:35:32.500 --> 00:35:33.099
 posture of

00:35:33.099 --> 00:35:33.340
 heart.

00:35:33.340 --> 00:35:34.860
 it's

00:35:34.860 --> 00:35:35.940
 not a

00:35:35.940 --> 00:35:36.460
 matter of

00:35:36.460 --> 00:35:37.079
 how gifted

00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:37.620
 you are.

00:35:39.059 --> 00:35:39.860
 It's a

00:35:39.860 --> 00:35:40.640
 matter of

00:35:40.640 --> 00:35:41.460
 posturing

00:35:41.460 --> 00:35:42.120
 yourselves

00:35:42.120 --> 00:35:43.019
 under the

00:35:43.019 --> 00:35:43.740
 glorious

00:35:43.740 --> 00:35:44.860
 kingship of

00:35:44.860 --> 00:35:46.900
 Jesus and

00:35:46.900 --> 00:35:47.480
 serving from

00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:47.780
 that.

00:35:48.660 --> 00:35:49.280
 What we

00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:49.900
 have here

00:35:49.900 --> 00:35:50.740
 is a

00:35:50.740 --> 00:35:51.440
 normal

00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:52.360
 kingdom

00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:53.620
 way of

00:35:53.620 --> 00:35:54.079
 building

00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:55.420
 being for

00:35:55.420 --> 00:35:56.720
 all citizens

00:35:56.720 --> 00:35:57.500
 of Jesus

00:35:57.500 --> 00:35:58.019
 kingdom.

00:35:58.920 --> 00:35:59.559
 So if

00:35:59.559 --> 00:35:59.760
 you're to

00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:00.019
 be a

00:36:00.019 --> 00:36:00.539
 follower of

00:36:00.539 --> 00:36:00.800
 Jesus

00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:01.260
 Christ,

00:36:01.380 --> 00:36:01.620
 you're

00:36:01.620 --> 00:36:02.300
 being called

00:36:02.300 --> 00:36:03.079
 into

00:36:03.079 --> 00:36:04.440
 humble

00:36:04.440 --> 00:36:05.659
 service

00:36:05.659 --> 00:36:06.259
 of

00:36:06.259 --> 00:36:06.840
 others.

00:36:07.579 --> 00:36:07.920
 No

00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:08.400
 exceptions.

00:36:09.400 --> 00:36:09.940
 No

00:36:09.940 --> 00:36:10.539
 exceptions in

00:36:10.539 --> 00:36:10.819
 the room.

00:36:11.480 --> 00:36:12.139
 We're all

00:36:12.139 --> 00:36:12.579
 called to

00:36:12.579 --> 00:36:12.920
 serve.

00:36:13.980 --> 00:36:14.460
 So the

00:36:14.460 --> 00:36:15.420
 question that

00:36:15.420 --> 00:36:15.960
 you could ask

00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:16.380
 right now

00:36:16.380 --> 00:36:16.940
 yourself is

00:36:16.940 --> 00:36:17.319
 this.

00:36:18.679 --> 00:36:19.940
 How am I

00:36:19.940 --> 00:36:20.420
 serving

00:36:20.420 --> 00:36:21.019
 others?

00:36:22.799 --> 00:36:23.679
 In what

00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:24.799
 practical

00:36:24.799 --> 00:36:25.880
 real ways

00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:26.920
 can I

00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:27.659
 point to

00:36:27.659 --> 00:36:28.219
 that

00:36:28.219 --> 00:36:29.519
 demonstrate

00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:31.420
 me serving

00:36:31.420 --> 00:36:31.680
 other

00:36:31.680 --> 00:36:32.079
 people?

00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:33.360
 And if

00:36:33.360 --> 00:36:33.700
 you find

00:36:33.700 --> 00:36:34.099
 yourself

00:36:34.099 --> 00:36:34.659
 coming up

00:36:34.659 --> 00:36:35.320
 short of

00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:35.860
 examples,

00:36:36.659 --> 00:36:37.159
 bring it

00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:37.400
 to the

00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:37.920
 Lord Jesus.

00:36:39.099 --> 00:36:39.880
 Lord Jesus,

00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:42.380
 would you

00:36:42.380 --> 00:36:42.860
 help me to

00:36:42.860 --> 00:36:43.340
 serve others

00:36:43.340 --> 00:36:43.700
 as you've

00:36:43.700 --> 00:36:44.139
 served me?

00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:46.840
 Okay.

00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:48.639
 You ready

00:36:48.639 --> 00:36:49.000
 for some

00:36:49.000 --> 00:36:49.460
 practical

00:36:49.460 --> 00:36:50.659
 steps?

00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:53.200
 First one,

00:36:53.980 --> 00:36:54.659
 I'm going

00:36:54.659 --> 00:36:55.420
 to isolate

00:36:55.420 --> 00:36:56.139
 a group in

00:36:56.139 --> 00:36:56.539
 the room,

00:36:58.079 --> 00:36:58.619
 husbands and

00:36:58.619 --> 00:36:58.920
 fathers.

00:36:58.920 --> 00:36:59.019
 fathers.

00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:02.700
 Husbands and

00:37:02.700 --> 00:37:02.980
 fathers,

00:37:03.139 --> 00:37:03.519
 whether you

00:37:03.519 --> 00:37:04.139
 are acknowledging

00:37:04.139 --> 00:37:04.680
 it or not,

00:37:05.780 --> 00:37:07.300
 you control

00:37:07.300 --> 00:37:08.220
 the thermostat

00:37:08.220 --> 00:37:09.019
 of your

00:37:09.019 --> 00:37:09.260
 home.

00:37:11.380 --> 00:37:11.920
 You're

00:37:11.920 --> 00:37:12.380
 setting the

00:37:12.380 --> 00:37:12.760
 tone.

00:37:13.820 --> 00:37:14.639
 Whether you

00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:15.619
 are stepping

00:37:15.619 --> 00:37:16.760
 into responsibility

00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:17.680
 or avoiding

00:37:17.680 --> 00:37:18.280
 it, you are

00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:18.760
 setting the

00:37:18.760 --> 00:37:19.200
 tone of your

00:37:19.200 --> 00:37:19.440
 home.

00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:21.059
 And we,

00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:22.000
 in light of

00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:22.260
 Jesus'

00:37:22.460 --> 00:37:23.200
 example here,

00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:24.180
 are called

00:37:24.180 --> 00:37:24.800
 to be

00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:26.099
 servants of

00:37:26.099 --> 00:37:26.880
 our wives

00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:27.559
 and children.

00:37:27.559 --> 00:37:28.840
 We lay

00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:29.579
 our lives

00:37:29.579 --> 00:37:30.139
 down for

00:37:30.139 --> 00:37:30.400
 them.

00:37:30.779 --> 00:37:31.519
 We do

00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:32.380
 good to

00:37:32.380 --> 00:37:33.079
 them, even

00:37:33.079 --> 00:37:34.119
 sacrificially.

00:37:34.820 --> 00:37:35.880
 So, husbands

00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:36.619
 and fathers,

00:37:37.340 --> 00:37:38.440
 serve your

00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:39.179
 wives and

00:37:39.179 --> 00:37:39.539
 children.

00:37:41.320 --> 00:37:42.219
 Don't whine

00:37:42.219 --> 00:37:42.739
 and complain.

00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:43.639
 Don't grumble

00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:44.380
 underneath that.

00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:45.320
 There's joy

00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:46.019
 in that.

00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:47.099
 That's God's

00:37:47.099 --> 00:37:47.699
 good design.

00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:48.699
 Now, I have a

00:37:48.699 --> 00:37:49.659
 caution, and I

00:37:49.659 --> 00:37:50.840
 caution you because

00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:51.719
 I know myself,

00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:52.340
 and this is what

00:37:52.340 --> 00:37:52.699
 I do.

00:37:52.699 --> 00:37:55.079
 after a long

00:37:55.079 --> 00:37:55.839
 day of serving

00:37:55.839 --> 00:37:56.460
 my family,

00:37:58.839 --> 00:37:59.019
 you're

00:37:59.019 --> 00:37:59.379
 legitimately

00:37:59.379 --> 00:38:00.219
 washing dishes,

00:38:00.759 --> 00:38:01.139
 mowing the

00:38:01.139 --> 00:38:02.059
 lawn, cleaning

00:38:02.059 --> 00:38:02.339
 out the

00:38:02.339 --> 00:38:02.759
 garage.

00:38:03.500 --> 00:38:03.619
 Do you

00:38:03.619 --> 00:38:03.879
 know what I

00:38:03.879 --> 00:38:04.019
 do?

00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:08.659
 Jenny, did

00:38:08.659 --> 00:38:09.259
 you see my

00:38:09.259 --> 00:38:09.799
 Christ-like

00:38:09.799 --> 00:38:10.519
 service today?

00:38:13.500 --> 00:38:14.119
 Guys, don't

00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:14.480
 do that.

00:38:16.619 --> 00:38:17.019
 Don't

00:38:17.019 --> 00:38:17.819
 Christ-like

00:38:17.819 --> 00:38:18.259
 serve your

00:38:18.259 --> 00:38:18.739
 wife and

00:38:18.739 --> 00:38:19.519
 children, and

00:38:19.519 --> 00:38:19.779
 you're like,

00:38:19.819 --> 00:38:20.019
 what do you

00:38:20.019 --> 00:38:20.379
 think about

00:38:20.379 --> 00:38:21.119
 that Christ-like

00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:21.439
 service?

00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:23.019
 That's not

00:38:23.019 --> 00:38:23.860
 Christ-like

00:38:23.860 --> 00:38:24.300
 service.

00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:24.880
 Christ-like

00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:25.920
 service, generally

00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:27.000
 speaking, likes

00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:27.480
 to go under

00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:27.980
 the radar.

00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:31.679
 Learn from

00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:32.119
 me, brothers.

00:38:36.619 --> 00:38:37.240
 One of the

00:38:37.240 --> 00:38:37.639
 things you need

00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:38.099
 to understand

00:38:38.099 --> 00:38:38.619
 about helping

00:38:38.619 --> 00:38:39.099
 people and

00:38:39.099 --> 00:38:39.679
 serving people,

00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:42.539
 we need to

00:38:42.539 --> 00:38:43.579
 help people in

00:38:43.579 --> 00:38:43.920
 a way that

00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:44.420
 doesn't hurt

00:38:44.420 --> 00:38:44.679
 them.

00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:46.599
 So just

00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:47.980
 because someone

00:38:47.980 --> 00:38:48.760
 says, you

00:38:48.760 --> 00:38:49.220
 need to serve

00:38:49.220 --> 00:38:50.000
 me this way,

00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:50.720
 doesn't mean you

00:38:50.720 --> 00:38:51.220
 should serve

00:38:51.219 --> 00:38:51.480
 them that

00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:51.699
 way.

00:38:52.659 --> 00:38:53.179
 What you

00:38:53.179 --> 00:38:53.619
 want to do

00:38:53.619 --> 00:38:53.839
 is you

00:38:53.839 --> 00:38:54.099
 want to

00:38:54.099 --> 00:38:54.639
 dignify

00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:55.159
 them in

00:38:55.159 --> 00:38:55.439
 the way

00:38:55.439 --> 00:38:55.779
 that you

00:38:55.779 --> 00:38:56.359
 serve them.

00:38:57.459 --> 00:38:57.779
 So

00:38:57.779 --> 00:38:58.339
 husbands,

00:38:58.519 --> 00:38:58.839
 fathers,

00:38:59.079 --> 00:39:00.079
 serve your

00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:00.799
 wives and

00:39:00.799 --> 00:39:01.839
 children in

00:39:01.839 --> 00:39:02.599
 the best way

00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:03.559
 possible according

00:39:03.559 --> 00:39:04.019
 to God's

00:39:04.019 --> 00:39:04.339
 word.

00:39:04.859 --> 00:39:05.299
 That's going

00:39:05.299 --> 00:39:05.639
 to mean some

00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:06.579
 hard conversations,

00:39:07.219 --> 00:39:09.299
 but they're

00:39:09.299 --> 00:39:10.059
 good conversations.

00:39:11.199 --> 00:39:11.839
 It's called

00:39:11.839 --> 00:39:12.259
 servant

00:39:12.259 --> 00:39:12.679
 leadership.

00:39:13.859 --> 00:39:14.199
 Here's some

00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:14.659
 other ways you

00:39:14.659 --> 00:39:15.219
 can care for

00:39:15.219 --> 00:39:16.359
 one another in

00:39:16.359 --> 00:39:16.779
 the church.

00:39:17.659 --> 00:39:18.139
 Childcare,

00:39:19.659 --> 00:39:20.239
 a.k.a.

00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:21.059
 wild care.

00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:25.419
 Find and

00:39:25.419 --> 00:39:27.219
 initiate a

00:39:27.219 --> 00:39:27.859
 young couple

00:39:27.859 --> 00:39:28.399
 with young

00:39:28.399 --> 00:39:30.500
 children, a

00:39:30.500 --> 00:39:31.319
 single mom,

00:39:33.199 --> 00:39:33.939
 families with

00:39:33.939 --> 00:39:34.719
 challenging

00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:35.759
 situations in the

00:39:35.759 --> 00:39:36.179
 children they're

00:39:36.179 --> 00:39:37.079
 raising, and you

00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:37.639
 go to them and

00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:38.259
 say, hey, can we

00:39:38.259 --> 00:39:39.379
 watch the kids for

00:39:39.379 --> 00:39:39.619
 a night?

00:39:39.799 --> 00:39:40.739
 Get you and your

00:39:40.739 --> 00:39:41.259
 lady out.

00:39:41.399 --> 00:39:42.500
 Get the two of you

00:39:42.500 --> 00:39:43.379
 out to refresh.

00:39:44.319 --> 00:39:45.019
 We'd love to do

00:39:45.019 --> 00:39:45.559
 that for you.

00:39:45.559 --> 00:39:46.739
 And you can

00:39:46.739 --> 00:39:47.219
 just pay us

00:39:47.219 --> 00:39:47.559
 $400.

00:39:48.039 --> 00:39:48.500
 That's all.

00:39:51.340 --> 00:39:52.340
 We bear one

00:39:52.340 --> 00:39:53.039
 another's burdens.

00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:54.299
 This is big,

00:39:54.519 --> 00:39:54.779
 folks.

00:39:56.259 --> 00:39:57.279
 And we have

00:39:57.279 --> 00:39:58.279
 young families

00:39:58.279 --> 00:39:59.239
 all around us

00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:00.460
 that you will be

00:40:00.460 --> 00:40:01.139
 called blessed

00:40:01.139 --> 00:40:02.420
 by them if you're

00:40:02.420 --> 00:40:03.019
 like, we'll give

00:40:03.019 --> 00:40:03.519
 you a night out.

00:40:04.840 --> 00:40:05.320
 Meals.

00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:08.239
 Blessed are those

00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:09.119
 who watch

00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:09.460
 children.

00:40:09.960 --> 00:40:10.360
 Meals.

00:40:11.579 --> 00:40:12.239
 We can serve

00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:12.779
 one another by

00:40:12.779 --> 00:40:13.719
 preparing meals for

00:40:13.719 --> 00:40:14.320
 one another when

00:40:14.320 --> 00:40:15.260
 crisis hits.

00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:16.700
 But even better

00:40:16.700 --> 00:40:17.900
 than that, you

00:40:17.900 --> 00:40:18.900
 invite people over

00:40:18.900 --> 00:40:20.120
 to your house when

00:40:20.120 --> 00:40:20.860
 they hit a crisis,

00:40:21.220 --> 00:40:22.180
 and you share a

00:40:22.180 --> 00:40:22.860
 meal together.

00:40:23.660 --> 00:40:24.420
 You do this

00:40:24.420 --> 00:40:24.920
 together.

00:40:26.160 --> 00:40:27.519
 You minister to

00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:28.200
 them not with just

00:40:28.200 --> 00:40:28.920
 a meal, but with

00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:29.620
 your presence.

00:40:30.940 --> 00:40:31.900
 Blessed are those

00:40:31.900 --> 00:40:32.700
 who serve up a

00:40:32.700 --> 00:40:32.940
 meal.

00:40:34.580 --> 00:40:35.800
 You give rides.

00:40:36.300 --> 00:40:37.380
 Some people among

00:40:37.380 --> 00:40:38.820
 us don't have cars,

00:40:38.940 --> 00:40:39.820
 and so we can use

00:40:39.820 --> 00:40:41.480
 our cars to serve

00:40:41.480 --> 00:40:42.820
 other people by

00:40:42.820 --> 00:40:43.720
 getting them places,

00:40:43.719 --> 00:40:44.899
 grocery stores.

00:40:45.179 --> 00:40:46.099
 The downtown area

00:40:46.099 --> 00:40:46.959
 has a bit of a food

00:40:46.959 --> 00:40:47.339
 desert.

00:40:47.739 --> 00:40:48.759
 We can get them to

00:40:48.759 --> 00:40:49.799
 and from appointments.

00:40:50.439 --> 00:40:51.179
 We can gather

00:40:51.179 --> 00:40:52.039
 them, get them,

00:40:52.539 --> 00:40:53.759
 and bring them to

00:40:53.759 --> 00:40:54.699
 our Sunday gathering,

00:40:54.839 --> 00:40:55.719
 get them home from

00:40:55.719 --> 00:40:56.679
 our Sunday gathering,

00:40:56.879 --> 00:40:58.000
 and as they're in

00:40:58.000 --> 00:40:58.919
 the car with you,

00:40:58.980 --> 00:40:59.799
 you're not an Uber

00:40:59.799 --> 00:41:00.799
 driver, a Lyft

00:41:00.799 --> 00:41:01.259
 driver.

00:41:01.779 --> 00:41:02.719
 You're a brother and

00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:03.339
 sister in the Lord,

00:41:03.399 --> 00:41:04.000
 so you get to know

00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:04.519
 them in the car.

00:41:06.739 --> 00:41:07.139
 Rides.

00:41:07.339 --> 00:41:08.000
 Blessed are those

00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:08.579
 who give rides.

00:41:08.579 --> 00:41:08.639
 friends.

00:41:10.639 --> 00:41:11.819
 The last one I want

00:41:11.819 --> 00:41:13.000
 to share with you is

00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:13.840
 probably the hardest.

00:41:15.259 --> 00:41:16.400
 It's not getting

00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:17.559
 grime out of people's

00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:18.099
 toes, though.

00:41:19.759 --> 00:41:20.619
 It's harder.

00:41:22.900 --> 00:41:24.360
 I titled it a

00:41:24.360 --> 00:41:25.340
 listening presence.

00:41:25.340 --> 00:41:29.220
 We live in a high-paced,

00:41:29.760 --> 00:41:31.039
 individualistic culture.

00:41:32.460 --> 00:41:33.500
 People often feel

00:41:33.500 --> 00:41:34.500
 left out and

00:41:34.500 --> 00:41:36.260
 isolated, and so we

00:41:36.260 --> 00:41:37.420
 can serve one another

00:41:37.420 --> 00:41:39.140
 by just showing up

00:41:39.140 --> 00:41:41.260
 and listening.

00:41:42.720 --> 00:41:43.720
 You show up and

00:41:43.720 --> 00:41:44.059
 listen.

00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:47.340
 You hear people.

00:41:47.340 --> 00:41:47.820
 People.

00:41:48.640 --> 00:41:49.980
 I regularly ask God

00:41:49.980 --> 00:41:50.519
 when I meet with

00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:51.280
 people, oh God, give

00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:52.500
 me an instructed ear

00:41:52.500 --> 00:41:53.680
 and an instructed

00:41:53.680 --> 00:41:54.100
 tongue.

00:41:55.400 --> 00:41:56.600
 So you listen.

00:41:57.660 --> 00:41:58.700
 You listen for where

00:41:58.700 --> 00:41:59.980
 people are, and when

00:41:59.980 --> 00:42:00.980
 they know that you're

00:42:00.980 --> 00:42:01.660
 listening, do you know

00:42:01.660 --> 00:42:02.200
 what happens?

00:42:03.100 --> 00:42:03.980
 You get to serve

00:42:03.980 --> 00:42:04.360
 them.

00:42:05.140 --> 00:42:06.140
 Get to love them.

00:42:07.220 --> 00:42:08.500
 Blessed are those

00:42:08.500 --> 00:42:09.940
 who show up and

00:42:09.940 --> 00:42:10.360
 listen.

00:42:11.280 --> 00:42:12.000
 There's other kinds

00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:12.420
 of serving.

00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:13.539
 Sunday morning

00:42:13.539 --> 00:42:14.760
 breakfast, the

00:42:14.760 --> 00:42:16.140
 Tuesday night

00:42:16.140 --> 00:42:16.840
 shalom meal,

00:42:16.840 --> 00:42:18.820
 king's place.

00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:19.980
 Oh, that's a great

00:42:19.980 --> 00:42:20.700
 place to serve.

00:42:21.120 --> 00:42:21.980
 King's kids.

00:42:23.940 --> 00:42:24.420
 Do you know what?

00:42:24.920 --> 00:42:26.160
 We also serve our

00:42:26.160 --> 00:42:26.460
 enemies.

00:42:30.460 --> 00:42:31.579
 Jesus washed the

00:42:31.579 --> 00:42:32.980
 feet of his

00:42:32.980 --> 00:42:33.559
 betrayer.

00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:37.579
 Do you know what

00:42:37.579 --> 00:42:38.019
 you do when you

00:42:38.019 --> 00:42:38.559
 don't feel like

00:42:38.559 --> 00:42:38.820
 serving?

00:42:40.280 --> 00:42:41.320
 Fix your eyes on

00:42:41.320 --> 00:42:41.559
 Jesus.

00:42:43.300 --> 00:42:45.300
 In verse 20, we

00:42:45.300 --> 00:42:45.600
 have another

00:42:45.600 --> 00:42:46.260
 truly, truly,

00:42:46.260 --> 00:42:47.460
 I say to you,

00:42:47.560 --> 00:42:48.260
 whoever receives

00:42:48.260 --> 00:42:49.060
 the one I send

00:42:49.060 --> 00:42:49.820
 receives me, and

00:42:49.820 --> 00:42:50.720
 whoever receives me

00:42:50.720 --> 00:42:51.620
 receives the one who

00:42:51.620 --> 00:42:52.080
 sent me.

00:42:52.680 --> 00:42:53.680
 Up until this point,

00:42:53.780 --> 00:42:54.340
 Jesus has been

00:42:54.340 --> 00:42:55.060
 talking about the

00:42:55.060 --> 00:42:56.020
 Father sending him,

00:42:56.200 --> 00:42:57.120
 and now he's

00:42:57.120 --> 00:42:57.740
 shifted that.

00:42:58.400 --> 00:42:59.160
 He's talking about

00:42:59.160 --> 00:43:01.000
 him sending us,

00:43:01.400 --> 00:43:04.720
 and he's sending us

00:43:04.720 --> 00:43:07.320
 out as lowly

00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:07.720
 servants.

00:43:07.719 --> 00:43:07.819
 servants.

00:43:07.819 --> 00:43:12.819
 We are Christ, his

00:43:12.819 --> 00:43:14.179
 servant

00:43:14.179 --> 00:43:16.459
 representatives, and

00:43:16.459 --> 00:43:17.259
 our gospel

00:43:17.259 --> 00:43:19.000
 serving will

00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:20.859
 open doors for

00:43:20.859 --> 00:43:21.679
 our gospel

00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:23.639
 seeking in

00:43:23.639 --> 00:43:24.819
 order to expand

00:43:24.819 --> 00:43:26.179
 his gospel

00:43:26.179 --> 00:43:26.779
 kingdom.

00:43:27.779 --> 00:43:29.059
 How about this?

00:43:29.059 --> 00:43:30.299
 God in heaven, Lord

00:43:30.299 --> 00:43:31.659
 Jesus, let's

00:43:31.659 --> 00:43:32.920
 start serving one

00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:33.719
 another more and

00:43:33.719 --> 00:43:35.159
 more with these

00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:36.840
 conspicuous acts of

00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:39.539
 service, not for us,

00:43:40.259 --> 00:43:42.840
 but for his glory.

00:43:44.840 --> 00:43:46.699
 Blessed are those who

00:43:46.699 --> 00:43:49.480
 serve and who get

00:43:49.480 --> 00:43:50.699
 caught in their

00:43:50.699 --> 00:43:51.059
 serving.

00:43:52.059 --> 00:43:52.840
 Let's pray.

00:43:52.840 --> 00:43:57.280
 God in heaven, Lord

00:43:57.280 --> 00:44:00.100
 Jesus, we thank you

00:44:00.100 --> 00:44:02.500
 so much for the way

00:44:02.500 --> 00:44:03.440
 that you have served

00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:05.280
 us and are serving

00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:06.820
 us and will continue

00:44:06.820 --> 00:44:07.900
 to serve us.

00:44:09.240 --> 00:44:10.760
 You've served us in

00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:11.440
 the greatest way

00:44:11.440 --> 00:44:12.940
 possible by becoming

00:44:12.940 --> 00:44:14.320
 a ransom for us.

00:44:16.860 --> 00:44:18.039
 Lord, would you bring

00:44:18.039 --> 00:44:18.820
 us into greater

00:44:18.820 --> 00:44:21.480
 degrees of joy as we

00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:22.260
 serve more and more

00:44:22.260 --> 00:44:24.960
 people, not because

00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:27.840
 we have to, but

00:44:27.840 --> 00:44:28.700
 because we want to.

00:44:31.180 --> 00:44:31.920
 Would you bring

00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:33.060
 glory to your name

00:44:33.060 --> 00:44:33.900
 through us, this

00:44:33.900 --> 00:44:35.900
 little church in the

00:44:35.900 --> 00:44:36.640
 middle of Kenosha?

00:44:38.300 --> 00:44:39.260
 Make a name for

00:44:39.260 --> 00:44:40.260
 yourself, Lord Jesus.

00:44:41.540 --> 00:44:42.200
 It's in your name we

00:44:42.200 --> 00:44:42.440
 pray.

00:44:43.160 --> 00:44:43.440
 Amen.
