00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:07.339
 Father, we ask that you would gently but very deeply and powerfully pour the Holy Spirit upon us at this time.

00:00:08.060 --> 00:00:11.019
 Pour the Holy Spirit down upon us and deep within us,

00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:20.320
 that your word, your gospel, your grace might come ever deeper into the center of who we are.

00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:26.460
 Father, we ask that you would reveal Jesus to us as Savior and Lord at an ever deeper level of who we are.

00:00:26.460 --> 00:00:31.020
 And this we ask in the name of Jesus, your Son and our Savior. Amen.

00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:32.620
 Please be seated.

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:44.179
 I was raised in a Christian home, but I was not one of those Christian kids who naturally liked church.

00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:52.620
 In fact, probably if you were able to go back in time and bring some of my long-suffering Sunday school teachers

00:00:52.619 --> 00:00:58.159
 and to find out that I'd become a minister, I think they would have been, the Irish word would be gobsmacked.

00:00:59.500 --> 00:01:07.579
 Probably if those Sunday school teachers were getting together and discussing those most likely to live to be a pastor or a missionary or something,

00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:09.459
 I would not have been on that list.

00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:14.659
 And as I got a bit older, I had a hard time with Christianity.

00:01:14.659 --> 00:01:21.700
 And part of the problem I had with the Christian faith was that I just didn't like a lot of the cultural stuff that went along with it.

00:01:23.219 --> 00:01:29.759
 Now, I'm getting to be close to ancient of days, and it's hard for people younger to understand the world.

00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:35.579
 But in the Baptist type of church that I grew up in, I thought that if I was to become a Christian,

00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:39.599
 I had to dress a certain way, had to have my hair cut a certain way.

00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:42.379
 I had to listen to a certain type of music.

00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:46.379
 I couldn't listen to a whole pile of other things and watch TV.

00:01:47.219 --> 00:01:51.399
 I never had any interest in dancing, by the way, but that's something I'll have to learn in heaven.

00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:54.659
 Because we'll probably do a lot of dancing in heaven.

00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.359
 But, you know, that wasn't something that I'm particularly drawn to.

00:01:57.479 --> 00:02:00.439
 But I just, music, everything, the type of literature,

00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:03.500
 there seemed like there was this Baptist Christian culture,

00:02:03.500 --> 00:02:09.579
 and real Christians had to like all of that stuff, and I didn't like any of it.

00:02:10.359 --> 00:02:13.120
 I like different types of music, different ways of dress,

00:02:13.359 --> 00:02:18.219
 and so I had a hard time at all thinking that Christianity could be for me.

00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:23.900
 I'm not going to go through the whole thing, but some things transpired that ended up making me realize

00:02:23.900 --> 00:02:29.319
 that I could be a Christian and dress different and do a whole pile of different things,

00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:31.680
 and the Lord appeared to me and I became a Christian.

00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:36.359
 I mention this because it's a very similar problem that I have sometimes

00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:40.340
 when I talk with some of my Muslim or Jewish friends in particular,

00:02:40.540 --> 00:02:45.020
 but just generally when I talk to people, also for people that are raised in the Catholic school system.

00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.100
 They try to figure out what type of Christian I am,

00:02:49.260 --> 00:02:52.380
 and I have a hard time finding categories to talk to them.

00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:58.780
 Because, you see, all the Muslims that I know are people who basically have rejected

00:02:58.780 --> 00:03:01.440
 most of the Muslim faith and live a very secular life.

00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:07.159
 And for them, like a devout Muslim, well, like if you're a male and you're a devout Muslim,

00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.560
 you start to grow a beard, and you start to wear certain types of clothes,

00:03:10.659 --> 00:03:15.199
 and you start to do a whole pile of very particular Muslim things.

00:03:15.259 --> 00:03:17.539
 That's what a devout, serious Muslim does,

00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:20.699
 and these secular Muslims don't want anything to do with it.

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.900
 And when I talk to my Jewish friends and I try to describe where I am,

00:03:23.939 --> 00:03:26.960
 well, from their point of view, if you're a very serious Jewish person,

00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:31.200
 well, once again, the men and the women will start to dress a very particular way,

00:03:31.460 --> 00:03:34.000
 and they've rejected that.

00:03:34.060 --> 00:03:35.260
 They don't want to have any of that.

00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:37.379
 And it would be the same, actually, for Hindus and Buddhists.

00:03:37.420 --> 00:03:40.420
 And for those who've grown up in the Catholic school system,

00:03:40.860 --> 00:03:43.340
 like real Christians are priests.

00:03:43.900 --> 00:03:45.939
 Like if you're really serious, you become a priest,

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.780
 or you become a monk, or you become a nun, or something like that,

00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:50.340
 and they're not interested in that.

00:03:50.340 --> 00:03:55.240
 So I have a hard time trying to describe what the gospel is,

00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.599
 what Christianity is, and who I am and where I all fit,

00:03:59.099 --> 00:04:01.840
 given the fact that there's all these preconceptions,

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:06.539
 religious preconceptions, about what it means to be a real Christian,

00:04:06.659 --> 00:04:07.280
 a serious Christian.

00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:09.920
 The Bible text that we're going to look at today

00:04:09.920 --> 00:04:14.819
 actually is spectacularly helpful in helping us to think through this issue,

00:04:14.900 --> 00:04:17.740
 not in terms of how we maybe communicate to our friends,

00:04:17.740 --> 00:04:20.379
 but at least for us, to help us to understand.

00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.040
 And if you're here just curious, it's a very, very, very helpful text

00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.420
 to understand how the gospel is different

00:04:26.420 --> 00:04:30.400
 and what the gospel does in terms of how it shapes you and how it doesn't.

00:04:30.500 --> 00:04:33.280
 So if you turn in your Bibles to John chapter 21,

00:04:33.400 --> 00:04:35.780
 that would be very, very helpful.

00:04:36.579 --> 00:04:37.840
 John chapter 21.

00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.420
 And just, you know, it's so funny.

00:04:42.500 --> 00:04:45.740
 In so many churches and so many Christians, when you meet them,

00:04:45.740 --> 00:04:49.060
 they talk about parts of the Bible as if it's just like a quote.

00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:50.960
 But it's not.

00:04:51.699 --> 00:04:54.519
 You know, my wife and I just finished watching a documentary.

00:04:54.660 --> 00:04:55.800
 It was a very good documentary.

00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:57.980
 We really enjoyed it, The Dawn Wall.

00:04:58.480 --> 00:04:59.660
 And it tells a story.

00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:02.199
 It tells the story of this fellow Tommy Caldwell

00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:04.259
 and what he was like growing up

00:05:04.259 --> 00:05:07.720
 and what led him to have this obsession to climb a particular rock face.

00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:09.040
 And there's a story.

00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.220
 It goes back and forth about what's happening in his life,

00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:13.860
 what drives him, and how it all ends.

00:05:13.860 --> 00:05:16.939
 And if I just came in and just gave you a quote from a bit of it,

00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:18.199
 it wouldn't make any sense, right?

00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.220
 Because you have to sort of know the whole story.

00:05:20.620 --> 00:05:21.980
 It's the same here with John's gospel.

00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:23.100
 He's writing a story.

00:05:23.900 --> 00:05:25.379
 He tells you the story of Jesus,

00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:27.600
 the biography of Jesus in the story form.

00:05:28.379 --> 00:05:29.139
 And when you do that,

00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.139
 you realize all sorts of different things about it.

00:05:31.540 --> 00:05:33.240
 So what's just happened, as I just said,

00:05:33.400 --> 00:05:34.840
 John is an eyewitness.

00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:36.960
 He's written this eyewitness biography

00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:38.720
 while other eyewitnesses were around.

00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.880
 And he's talked to us about how Jesus died.

00:05:41.880 --> 00:05:44.760
 And he talked about how Jesus was embalmed

00:05:44.760 --> 00:05:46.040
 and how he was entombed

00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:47.880
 and how the tomb was empty

00:05:47.880 --> 00:05:49.660
 and the grave clothes were left behind

00:05:49.660 --> 00:05:51.440
 and how he appeared to Mary

00:05:51.440 --> 00:05:54.000
 and then how he appeared to 10 of the disciples

00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.440
 and then how he appeared to the disciples plus Thomas

00:05:56.440 --> 00:05:57.320
 and maybe some others.

00:05:58.080 --> 00:06:00.200
 And that's what we just looked at.

00:06:00.280 --> 00:06:01.640
 That's what's just before this.

00:06:01.740 --> 00:06:04.420
 And there's a very important bit that's just before this

00:06:04.420 --> 00:06:05.920
 that I just have to summarize for you

00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.960
 or you don't understand the shocking nature of this.

00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:10.140
 Because I can tell you this,

00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.460
 there have been lots of trees

00:06:12.460 --> 00:06:13.980
 that have been put to death

00:06:13.980 --> 00:06:15.580
 because of this chapter,

00:06:15.740 --> 00:06:17.280
 these verses that we're looking at.

00:06:17.900 --> 00:06:20.900
 Because for many, many scholars and many Christians,

00:06:20.900 --> 00:06:22.920
 this is a problem text.

00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:24.939
 And you don't understand it

00:06:24.939 --> 00:06:26.460
 unless you know what's just going on before that.

00:06:26.500 --> 00:06:27.840
 And what's just going on before this

00:06:27.840 --> 00:06:32.300
 is that when Jesus shows himself alive to the disciples,

00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.500
 then he gives these four things.

00:06:35.500 --> 00:06:38.000
 He gives them a message which they're to proclaim.

00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:40.100
 And the message which they are to proclaim

00:06:40.100 --> 00:06:41.819
 is that there is a way.

00:06:41.980 --> 00:06:43.339
 Jesus has now done something

00:06:43.339 --> 00:06:46.620
 so that human beings will no longer be at enmity,

00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:48.019
 that's fighting,

00:06:48.860 --> 00:06:50.899
 or opposed to God.

00:06:51.379 --> 00:06:54.120
 But Jesus has done something to make peace with God.

00:06:54.379 --> 00:06:55.959
 Not that God had to make peace with us.

00:06:55.980 --> 00:06:56.720
 He's always been loving.

00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:58.480
 But that we might be at peace with him.

00:06:59.060 --> 00:07:00.639
 And Jesus has now done that.

00:07:00.740 --> 00:07:02.519
 By his life and death and resurrection,

00:07:02.779 --> 00:07:04.980
 Jesus has done what human beings can't do.

00:07:05.500 --> 00:07:08.340
 He has opened a door for us to be at peace with God.

00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:10.100
 That he will be our God.

00:07:10.200 --> 00:07:11.900
 That we could walk with him.

00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:13.620
 That he would be our father.

00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:15.879
 That we are in our father's world.

00:07:15.939 --> 00:07:16.819
 And we can talk to him.

00:07:17.379 --> 00:07:19.900
 And he gives us this message that we have to proclaim.

00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:21.520
 And then the second thing he does

00:07:21.520 --> 00:07:22.980
 is he says,

00:07:23.200 --> 00:07:24.120
 you've got to actually go.

00:07:24.220 --> 00:07:25.220
 Not only do I give you a message,

00:07:25.280 --> 00:07:26.560
 you've got to go and tell people about it.

00:07:26.580 --> 00:07:28.520
 You don't just sort of wait until people come to you.

00:07:28.939 --> 00:07:30.900
 You need to figure out ways to go and tell them.

00:07:31.579 --> 00:07:32.979
 And then the third thing he does,

00:07:33.060 --> 00:07:33.500
 he says,

00:07:34.039 --> 00:07:35.919
 so you have the message,

00:07:36.099 --> 00:07:36.659
 you have the mission.

00:07:36.719 --> 00:07:37.620
 I'm going to give you the power.

00:07:37.819 --> 00:07:38.959
 I'm going to give you the Holy Spirit.

00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:40.459
 He breathes the Holy Spirit on them.

00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:41.439
 So they have the power

00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:42.259
 to do,

00:07:42.419 --> 00:07:43.899
 to proclaim the message and to go.

00:07:44.359 --> 00:07:45.759
 And then the fourth thing he does

00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:46.379
 is he says,

00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.279
 this is really important.

00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:50.579
 Like people's eternal destiny

00:07:50.579 --> 00:07:51.719
 hangs upon this.

00:07:52.380 --> 00:07:54.760
 If people die without hearing this

00:07:54.760 --> 00:07:56.380
 or they hear it and they reject it,

00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:58.160
 it means that they will be forever

00:07:58.160 --> 00:07:59.360
 at enmity with God.

00:07:59.460 --> 00:08:00.340
 If they receive it,

00:08:00.380 --> 00:08:02.140
 it means they begin to have peace with God

00:08:02.140 --> 00:08:03.100
 that begins right now

00:08:03.100 --> 00:08:04.320
 and will go on for all eternity.

00:08:04.780 --> 00:08:06.720
 This is very, very, very important.

00:08:06.840 --> 00:08:07.620
 You've got to do it.

00:08:08.380 --> 00:08:09.220
 And then John,

00:08:09.620 --> 00:08:10.520
 and then Jesus says,

00:08:10.620 --> 00:08:11.680
 people who believe in me

00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:12.960
 without having actually seen me,

00:08:13.220 --> 00:08:13.780
 you're blessed.

00:08:13.940 --> 00:08:15.680
 He says over all of us who are Christians,

00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:16.500
 you're blessed.

00:08:17.140 --> 00:08:18.260
 And then John says,

00:08:18.320 --> 00:08:18.860
 by the way,

00:08:18.960 --> 00:08:20.300
 I wrote this whole book

00:08:20.300 --> 00:08:22.379
 so you'll understand who Jesus is

00:08:22.379 --> 00:08:24.220
 and you'll believe him and trust him.

00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:27.040
 And now that can leave us with a bit of,

00:08:27.259 --> 00:08:28.780
 if the gospel just ended right there,

00:08:28.819 --> 00:08:29.100
 we'd say,

00:08:29.180 --> 00:08:30.180
 well, how do we live?

00:08:30.220 --> 00:08:30.860
 Like, what do we do?

00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.200
 And so John now sort of gives us

00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:34.320
 a little bit of an implication

00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:35.600
 of all this big message

00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:37.039
 and that's what happens right now.

00:08:37.100 --> 00:08:38.320
 This is where the story continues.

00:08:38.700 --> 00:08:40.600
 It's John chapter 21, verse 1,

00:08:40.700 --> 00:08:41.899
 and here's how it continues.

00:08:41.899 --> 00:08:43.060
 It's very surprising.

00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:45.519
 It's so surprising that,

00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:45.920
 as I said,

00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.539
 lots of trees have been cut down

00:08:48.539 --> 00:08:49.419
 to make paper

00:08:49.419 --> 00:08:51.559
 for scholars and pastors

00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:52.439
 to write about it

00:08:52.439 --> 00:08:53.860
 because they see it as a great problem.

00:08:54.599 --> 00:08:54.719
 Right?

00:08:55.139 --> 00:08:55.860
 Very important.

00:08:55.980 --> 00:08:56.679
 Go off and do it.

00:08:56.899 --> 00:08:58.500
 Chapter 21, verse 1.

00:08:58.599 --> 00:08:59.379
 After this,

00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:01.779
 Jesus revealed himself again

00:09:01.779 --> 00:09:02.620
 to the disciples

00:09:02.620 --> 00:09:04.179
 by the Sea of Tiberias

00:09:04.179 --> 00:09:06.159
 and he revealed himself in this way.

00:09:06.219 --> 00:09:06.919
 Just sort of pause.

00:09:08.079 --> 00:09:09.159
 In the New Testament,

00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:10.339
 you can get a little bit confused.

00:09:10.659 --> 00:09:11.959
 There's three different ways

00:09:11.959 --> 00:09:13.819
 of referring to the same body of water.

00:09:15.079 --> 00:09:15.779
 This, by the way,

00:09:15.779 --> 00:09:16.399
 is very common.

00:09:16.500 --> 00:09:17.740
 If you've grown up in a rural area,

00:09:17.740 --> 00:09:18.519
 that might be the way

00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.159
 the rural people refer to something,

00:09:20.259 --> 00:09:21.039
 it might be something

00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:22.759
 that the government refers to it,

00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:23.600
 there might be something

00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:24.659
 that tourists call it,

00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:26.680
 and just reflect it

00:09:26.680 --> 00:09:27.720
 in how the Gospels are written.

00:09:28.180 --> 00:09:29.180
 So the Sea of Galilee,

00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:30.279
 the Sea of Tiberias,

00:09:30.379 --> 00:09:31.620
 and Lake Gennesaret

00:09:31.620 --> 00:09:33.120
 are all the same body of water.

00:09:34.019 --> 00:09:34.240
 Okay?

00:09:34.860 --> 00:09:35.980
 So just to read it again,

00:09:36.180 --> 00:09:36.820
 the Sea of Galilee

00:09:36.820 --> 00:09:38.039
 is more familiar to us.

00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:38.740
 So after this,

00:09:38.820 --> 00:09:39.240
 verse 1,

00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:40.700
 Jesus revealed himself again

00:09:40.700 --> 00:09:41.320
 to the disciples

00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:42.360
 by the Sea of Galilee

00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:43.620
 or Gennesaret

00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:44.560
 or Tiberias,

00:09:44.940 --> 00:09:45.960
 and he revealed himself

00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:46.560
 in this way.

00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:48.139
 Simon Peter,

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:49.220
 Thomas,

00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:49.980
 called the twin,

00:09:50.179 --> 00:09:51.679
 Nathaniel of Cana and Galilee,

00:09:52.179 --> 00:09:53.120
 the sons of Zebedee,

00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:53.980
 and two others

00:09:53.980 --> 00:09:55.139
 of Jesus' disciples

00:09:55.139 --> 00:09:55.600
 were together,

00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:56.399
 seven guys.

00:09:57.399 --> 00:09:58.539
 Simon Peter said to them,

00:09:58.639 --> 00:09:59.679
 I am going fishing.

00:10:00.580 --> 00:10:01.500
 They said to him,

00:10:01.560 --> 00:10:02.560
 we will go with you.

00:10:03.139 --> 00:10:03.799
 They went out

00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:04.740
 and got into the boat,

00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:05.360
 but that night

00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:06.100
 they caught nothing.

00:10:06.220 --> 00:10:07.100
 Now believe it or not,

00:10:07.179 --> 00:10:08.000
 this has caused

00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:09.320
 lots of angst.

00:10:10.299 --> 00:10:11.419
 And the reason is,

00:10:11.419 --> 00:10:12.219
 well,

00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:12.659
 first of all,

00:10:12.699 --> 00:10:13.079
 there's many,

00:10:13.179 --> 00:10:13.759
 many scholars

00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:14.279
 who believe

00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:15.079
 that this is actually

00:10:15.079 --> 00:10:15.819
 out of place,

00:10:16.579 --> 00:10:18.719
 that this should have

00:10:18.719 --> 00:10:19.419
 actually been,

00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:20.740
 whoever was copying

00:10:20.740 --> 00:10:21.099
 the book,

00:10:21.199 --> 00:10:22.199
 they mixed things up

00:10:22.199 --> 00:10:22.799
 and it should really

00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:25.019
 be earlier in the story

00:10:25.019 --> 00:10:25.659
 and it somehow

00:10:25.659 --> 00:10:26.899
 is a mistake.

00:10:27.379 --> 00:10:28.019
 And the reason

00:10:28.019 --> 00:10:28.740
 they think that

00:10:28.740 --> 00:10:29.679
 is they say to themselves,

00:10:30.199 --> 00:10:31.120
 good grief,

00:10:31.659 --> 00:10:32.500
 Jesus has just

00:10:32.500 --> 00:10:33.179
 appeared to them,

00:10:33.299 --> 00:10:33.819
 he's done it

00:10:33.819 --> 00:10:34.620
 several times,

00:10:34.719 --> 00:10:35.339
 he's told them

00:10:35.339 --> 00:10:36.480
 that they have to go,

00:10:36.779 --> 00:10:37.539
 they have to proclaim

00:10:37.539 --> 00:10:38.219
 this message,

00:10:38.339 --> 00:10:39.159
 and these guys

00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:39.959
 are fishing?

00:10:41.419 --> 00:10:44.139
 Like,

00:10:44.179 --> 00:10:45.039
 are they stupid?

00:10:46.819 --> 00:10:47.219
 Well,

00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:48.500
 they can't be that stupid.

00:10:48.939 --> 00:10:50.240
 They can't be that dumb.

00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:51.059
 I know you're not

00:10:51.059 --> 00:10:51.939
 supposed to say stupid,

00:10:52.059 --> 00:10:52.219
 right?

00:10:52.299 --> 00:10:52.479
 Sorry,

00:10:52.620 --> 00:10:52.959
 parents,

00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:53.879
 if you have young kids,

00:10:53.939 --> 00:10:54.419
 you're not supposed

00:10:54.419 --> 00:10:55.159
 to say stupid.

00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:55.839
 Just time out.

00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:56.699
 I shouldn't have done it.

00:10:56.979 --> 00:10:57.179
 Anyway,

00:10:57.839 --> 00:10:58.579
 dumb,

00:10:59.000 --> 00:10:59.639
 clueless,

00:10:59.939 --> 00:11:01.279
 whatever you want to say,

00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:02.479
 they're fishing.

00:11:02.620 --> 00:11:03.659
 It doesn't make any sense.

00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:05.199
 And so they try to figure out

00:11:05.199 --> 00:11:06.139
 how to get around

00:11:06.139 --> 00:11:07.419
 this particular problem.

00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:08.959
 Said some scholars say

00:11:08.959 --> 00:11:10.059
 that it's just a mistake

00:11:10.059 --> 00:11:10.679
 in the copying.

00:11:10.779 --> 00:11:11.279
 And by the way,

00:11:11.419 --> 00:11:12.679
 there's zero evidence

00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:13.819
 that it's in the wrong order.

00:11:13.939 --> 00:11:15.219
 All of the ancient manuscripts

00:11:15.219 --> 00:11:16.740
 show the gospel written

00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:17.479
 in this particular,

00:11:17.959 --> 00:11:18.860
 zero evidence

00:11:18.860 --> 00:11:20.139
 that it's in the wrong order.

00:11:20.779 --> 00:11:22.259
 And pastors will talk about

00:11:22.259 --> 00:11:23.120
 why it is

00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:24.059
 that they're not in Jerusalem,

00:11:24.419 --> 00:11:24.939
 why it is

00:11:24.939 --> 00:11:25.860
 that they're not praying,

00:11:25.979 --> 00:11:27.319
 they're not singing praise songs,

00:11:27.419 --> 00:11:28.360
 they're not studying the Bible,

00:11:28.500 --> 00:11:29.360
 they're not making a plan

00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:30.539
 to evangelize the world,

00:11:30.620 --> 00:11:31.039
 they're not doing

00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:31.919
 any of these things,

00:11:32.199 --> 00:11:32.879
 they're fishing.

00:11:33.599 --> 00:11:34.439
 And it's a problem.

00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:38.100
 And there's another thing

00:11:38.100 --> 00:11:38.700
 which is going on.

00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:39.260
 And by the way,

00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:41.400
 part of the reason

00:11:41.400 --> 00:11:42.540
 that this is a problem,

00:11:43.660 --> 00:11:44.540
 that people view it

00:11:44.540 --> 00:11:45.240
 as a problem,

00:11:46.140 --> 00:11:46.420
 is,

00:11:46.420 --> 00:11:52.420
 well, you see,

00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:53.200
 it's a little bit like

00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:53.660
 what I said

00:11:53.660 --> 00:11:53.980
 at the beginning

00:11:53.980 --> 00:11:54.520
 of the sermon.

00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:56.060
 You see,

00:11:56.140 --> 00:11:57.180
 because real Christians

00:11:57.180 --> 00:11:58.500
 go to a Baptist church,

00:11:58.680 --> 00:11:59.140
 those of you

00:11:59.140 --> 00:12:00.060
 who didn't go to a Baptist church

00:12:00.060 --> 00:12:00.540
 back then,

00:12:00.620 --> 00:12:01.360
 sucks to be you.

00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:02.560
 But real Christians

00:12:02.560 --> 00:12:04.139
 went to a Baptist church,

00:12:04.419 --> 00:12:05.279
 real Christians

00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:06.639
 didn't listen to choirs,

00:12:07.500 --> 00:12:08.060
 soloists,

00:12:08.300 --> 00:12:09.680
 and gospel quartets

00:12:09.680 --> 00:12:11.120
 were particularly

00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:12.080
 what real Christians

00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:12.600
 listened to.

00:12:12.659 --> 00:12:13.440
 And real Christians

00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:14.500
 dressed a certain way,

00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:15.320
 and real Christians

00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:16.000
 had their hair cut

00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:16.580
 a certain way,

00:12:16.899 --> 00:12:17.700
 and real Christians

00:12:17.700 --> 00:12:19.060
 did lots of religious stuff

00:12:19.060 --> 00:12:19.680
 all of the time,

00:12:19.740 --> 00:12:20.600
 nothing secular.

00:12:21.220 --> 00:12:21.620
 And so,

00:12:21.779 --> 00:12:22.800
 a lot of pastors

00:12:22.800 --> 00:12:23.480
 and scholars

00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:25.120
 take this over to the text.

00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:26.940
 Jesus has just given them

00:12:26.940 --> 00:12:27.759
 this great commission,

00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:29.220
 and here they're fishing.

00:12:30.300 --> 00:12:30.519
 Like,

00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:31.159
 that's not what

00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:32.379
 real Christians do.

00:12:34.139 --> 00:12:34.480
 Now,

00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:34.980
 we're going to look

00:12:34.980 --> 00:12:35.480
 at this text.

00:12:35.539 --> 00:12:35.919
 There's more.

00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:36.399
 You have to read

00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:37.019
 the rest of the story.

00:12:37.079 --> 00:12:37.799
 But there's another thing

00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:38.240
 actually here,

00:12:38.299 --> 00:12:39.299
 which is really important,

00:12:39.579 --> 00:12:40.340
 and I'm going to just

00:12:40.340 --> 00:12:40.779
 take a moment

00:12:40.779 --> 00:12:41.460
 to talk about it.

00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:42.019
 There's a little bit

00:12:42.019 --> 00:12:43.220
 of a class bias

00:12:43.220 --> 00:12:45.639
 in these comments as well.

00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:48.059
 As you know,

00:12:48.579 --> 00:12:49.480
 throughout all of

00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:50.179
 Christian history,

00:12:50.179 --> 00:12:51.079
 there's always a bit

00:12:51.079 --> 00:12:51.720
 of a problem

00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:52.620
 of thinking that

00:12:52.620 --> 00:12:54.399
 upper middle class

00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.559
 are a bit more holy

00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:58.439
 than working class.

00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:00.439
 We're more polished.

00:13:00.860 --> 00:13:02.000
 I'm not upper middle class.

00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:03.620
 But middle class,

00:13:03.740 --> 00:13:03.879
 you know,

00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:05.779
 more than the working class,

00:13:05.860 --> 00:13:06.000
 you know,

00:13:06.059 --> 00:13:07.579
 we have better people skills.

00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:09.139
 You know,

00:13:09.299 --> 00:13:10.460
 we know how to eat better.

00:13:11.019 --> 00:13:11.939
 We have better taste

00:13:11.939 --> 00:13:12.639
 in music

00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:13.679
 and literature

00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:14.579
 and all of that

00:13:14.579 --> 00:13:15.340
 type of stuff.

00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:15.860
 And there's just

00:13:15.860 --> 00:13:17.059
 this subtle way

00:13:17.059 --> 00:13:18.740
 that we think

00:13:18.740 --> 00:13:19.500
 that these things

00:13:19.500 --> 00:13:20.860
 that make no difference

00:13:20.860 --> 00:13:22.419
 to God whatsoever

00:13:22.419 --> 00:13:24.699
 somehow are connected

00:13:24.699 --> 00:13:25.699
 to being spiritual,

00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:27.079
 being more godly.

00:13:27.860 --> 00:13:28.639
 But here's the thing.

00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:29.419
 A couple of years ago,

00:13:29.419 --> 00:13:30.339
 quite a few years ago now,

00:13:30.379 --> 00:13:31.279
 I listened to a podcast

00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:32.199
 and the podcast

00:13:32.199 --> 00:13:33.299
 was by an executive

00:13:33.299 --> 00:13:34.079
 from Walmart.

00:13:34.740 --> 00:13:35.579
 And the executive

00:13:35.579 --> 00:13:36.159
 in Walmart

00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:37.639
 was talking to a group

00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:38.479
 of other executives

00:13:38.479 --> 00:13:39.279
 and high-level

00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:40.379
 advertising people.

00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:41.599
 And one of the things

00:13:41.599 --> 00:13:42.159
 he said

00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:43.319
 is that Walmart

00:13:43.319 --> 00:13:45.579
 is not for any of you

00:13:45.579 --> 00:13:46.179
 in this room.

00:13:46.839 --> 00:13:47.519
 We at Walmart,

00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:48.360
 we don't care about

00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:49.219
 a single one

00:13:49.219 --> 00:13:49.979
 in this room.

00:13:50.459 --> 00:13:51.000
 Not one.

00:13:51.079 --> 00:13:51.519
 We don't care

00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:52.919
 if a single one of you

00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:53.919
 ever come to our store.

00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:54.279
 Why?

00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:56.679
 Walmart is designed

00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:58.620
 to attract people

00:13:58.620 --> 00:13:59.599
 who live paycheck

00:13:59.599 --> 00:14:00.360
 to paycheck.

00:14:02.979 --> 00:14:04.120
 Everything in Walmart

00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:05.179
 is designed

00:14:05.179 --> 00:14:06.879
 to meet the needs

00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:07.360
 of people

00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:08.259
 who live paycheck

00:14:08.259 --> 00:14:08.879
 to paycheck.

00:14:09.839 --> 00:14:10.860
 You in the room,

00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:11.740
 you don't live

00:14:11.740 --> 00:14:12.539
 paycheck to paycheck.

00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:13.639
 We don't care about you.

00:14:14.479 --> 00:14:15.279
 But you know what?

00:14:15.319 --> 00:14:16.439
 Most of North America

00:14:16.439 --> 00:14:18.879
 lives paycheck to paycheck

00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:21.039
 and we'll make enough money

00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:22.419
 reaching most of them.

00:14:22.419 --> 00:14:25.679
 The early disciples

00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:26.659
 lived paycheck

00:14:26.659 --> 00:14:27.419
 to paycheck.

00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:30.860
 They were not

00:14:30.860 --> 00:14:31.659
 upper class.

00:14:32.379 --> 00:14:33.000
 They were not

00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:34.099
 independently wealthy.

00:14:35.099 --> 00:14:35.979
 Peter went fishing

00:14:35.979 --> 00:14:36.979
 because he needed money.

00:14:38.939 --> 00:14:40.019
 And he needed money

00:14:40.019 --> 00:14:41.240
 not because he was sinful

00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:43.279
 but because he lived

00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:44.360
 paycheck to paycheck.

00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:46.779
 In fact,

00:14:46.819 --> 00:14:47.819
 out of all the original

00:14:47.819 --> 00:14:49.159
 12 disciples,

00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:49.919
 the only one

00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:50.879
 who might not have had

00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:52.019
 to live paycheck to paycheck

00:14:52.019 --> 00:14:52.679
 was Matthew.

00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:53.659
 But after Matthew

00:14:53.659 --> 00:14:56.319
 gave up his occupation,

00:14:56.579 --> 00:14:57.340
 he also now

00:14:57.340 --> 00:14:58.059
 would have to have been

00:14:58.059 --> 00:14:59.360
 living paycheck to paycheck.

00:15:00.019 --> 00:15:00.840
 And the reason

00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:02.179
 Peter goes fishing

00:15:02.179 --> 00:15:03.559
 and he goes fishing

00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:04.179
 at night

00:15:04.179 --> 00:15:05.340
 is because

00:15:05.340 --> 00:15:07.039
 if you want to make money

00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:07.759
 from fishing,

00:15:07.899 --> 00:15:08.799
 you fish at night

00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:10.879
 so that as the day begins,

00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:12.500
 people can go

00:15:12.500 --> 00:15:14.100
 and buy your fresh fish.

00:15:15.939 --> 00:15:17.120
 That's why you do it.

00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:18.759
 He was making some money.

00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:20.799
 If he was alive today,

00:15:21.580 --> 00:15:22.639
 he'd not be shopping

00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:23.700
 at Nordstrom's.

00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:24.960
 He'd be shopping

00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:26.000
 at Walmart.

00:15:26.899 --> 00:15:28.159
 He wouldn't be eating

00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:29.580
 at the Fauna restaurant

00:15:29.580 --> 00:15:30.319
 on Bank Street.

00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:31.360
 He'd be eating

00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:32.419
 at McDonald's

00:15:32.419 --> 00:15:33.200
 or Subway.

00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:35.340
 That's his social class.

00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:37.779
 And to think

00:15:37.779 --> 00:15:38.279
 that he's doing

00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:39.259
 something sinful

00:15:39.259 --> 00:15:41.019
 by working

00:15:41.019 --> 00:15:42.139
 is partially

00:15:42.139 --> 00:15:43.019
 a reflection,

00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:44.639
 an unconscious

00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:46.559
 social class bias

00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:48.379
 that often slips

00:15:48.379 --> 00:15:49.099
 into churches.

00:15:49.719 --> 00:15:50.519
 Let me tell you,

00:15:51.099 --> 00:15:52.279
 God doesn't love

00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:53.459
 people who live

00:15:53.459 --> 00:15:54.219
 in a mansion

00:15:54.219 --> 00:15:56.139
 in Manitic

00:15:56.139 --> 00:15:57.059
 any more

00:15:57.059 --> 00:15:58.379
 than he loves

00:15:58.379 --> 00:15:59.279
 somebody who's living

00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:00.579
 in subsidized housing.

00:16:01.319 --> 00:16:02.259
 He doesn't.

00:16:04.579 --> 00:16:05.619
 It's a problem.

00:16:06.439 --> 00:16:07.219
 If you're in the military,

00:16:07.339 --> 00:16:08.159
 he doesn't love generals

00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:09.479
 more than he loves privates.

00:16:11.779 --> 00:16:12.959
 He loves people.

00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:14.519
 So,

00:16:14.740 --> 00:16:16.680
 here we have

00:16:16.680 --> 00:16:17.500
 the situation.

00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:18.100
 Like,

00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:19.019
 what's going on?

00:16:19.060 --> 00:16:19.620
 How's Jesus

00:16:19.620 --> 00:16:20.860
 going to respond

00:16:20.860 --> 00:16:23.220
 to the fact

00:16:23.220 --> 00:16:24.400
 that these guys

00:16:24.400 --> 00:16:25.019
 have been going,

00:16:25.280 --> 00:16:26.400
 they're going fishing?

00:16:27.180 --> 00:16:27.600
 Well,

00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:28.379
 let's see.

00:16:28.500 --> 00:16:29.440
 Verse 4,

00:16:29.560 --> 00:16:30.600
 the story continues.

00:16:31.980 --> 00:16:32.100
 So,

00:16:32.280 --> 00:16:33.300
 just as day was breaking,

00:16:33.460 --> 00:16:34.420
 Jesus stood on the shore,

00:16:34.540 --> 00:16:35.300
 yet the disciples

00:16:35.300 --> 00:16:36.040
 did not know

00:16:36.040 --> 00:16:36.840
 that it was Jesus.

00:16:37.340 --> 00:16:38.220
 Jesus said to them,

00:16:38.379 --> 00:16:38.740
 children,

00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:39.620
 do you have any fish?

00:16:39.660 --> 00:16:40.620
 Just sort of pause here.

00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:41.980
 The translation

00:16:41.980 --> 00:16:42.900
 there is very literal.

00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:43.680
 But it's actually

00:16:43.680 --> 00:16:44.480
 not very helpful.

00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:47.259
 In the sense that

00:16:47.259 --> 00:16:48.440
 it's a little bit like

00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:48.840
 if I,

00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:51.120
 if you see a guy

00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:52.920
 and he sees some other guys

00:16:52.920 --> 00:16:53.500
 out in a boat,

00:16:53.580 --> 00:16:53.980
 he might say,

00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:54.440
 boys,

00:16:54.540 --> 00:16:55.200
 how's it going?

00:16:55.620 --> 00:16:56.440
 Or lads,

00:16:56.700 --> 00:16:57.580
 how's it going?

00:16:58.340 --> 00:16:58.600
 Right?

00:16:58.960 --> 00:16:59.820
 It's just a term

00:16:59.820 --> 00:17:00.480
 of affection.

00:17:00.680 --> 00:17:01.180
 It'd be like saying,

00:17:01.259 --> 00:17:01.820
 hey boys,

00:17:01.920 --> 00:17:03.139
 how's the work going today?

00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:04.740
 And they'd say something good.

00:17:04.779 --> 00:17:05.900
 And that's what he's really saying.

00:17:06.019 --> 00:17:06.259
 He's saying,

00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:06.559
 boys,

00:17:06.620 --> 00:17:07.120
 how's it going?

00:17:08.059 --> 00:17:08.319
 So,

00:17:09.420 --> 00:17:10.660
 read verse 5 again.

00:17:10.740 --> 00:17:10.840
 So,

00:17:10.840 --> 00:17:11.539
 Jesus said to them,

00:17:11.539 --> 00:17:11.920
 boys,

00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:12.840
 or lads,

00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:13.639
 do you have any fish?

00:17:13.699 --> 00:17:14.339
 And they answered him,

00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:14.519
 no.

00:17:15.059 --> 00:17:15.799
 He said to them,

00:17:16.099 --> 00:17:17.459
 cast the net on the right side,

00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:18.419
 the other side of the boat,

00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:19.439
 and you will find some.

00:17:20.399 --> 00:17:20.579
 Now,

00:17:20.619 --> 00:17:21.759
 just pause here for a second.

00:17:22.779 --> 00:17:23.619
 And this is something

00:17:23.619 --> 00:17:24.859
 that most of you don't know.

00:17:25.459 --> 00:17:26.699
 You would not believe

00:17:26.699 --> 00:17:28.199
 how many people

00:17:28.199 --> 00:17:29.299
 use this text

00:17:29.299 --> 00:17:30.359
 as a proof text

00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:31.500
 to say,

00:17:31.659 --> 00:17:32.839
 the reason your church

00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:33.459
 isn't growing,

00:17:33.679 --> 00:17:34.459
 the reason you're not

00:17:34.459 --> 00:17:35.339
 making more money,

00:17:35.439 --> 00:17:36.359
 the reason you're not

00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:37.319
 having better success

00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:38.019
 in evangelism,

00:17:38.019 --> 00:17:39.500
 the reason you don't have

00:17:39.500 --> 00:17:40.779
 all these other things

00:17:40.779 --> 00:17:41.440
 is you're fishing

00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:42.259
 on the wrong side

00:17:42.259 --> 00:17:42.819
 of the boat.

00:17:44.460 --> 00:17:44.859
 So,

00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:46.559
 go to my 1-800 number,

00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:47.339
 my webpage,

00:17:48.220 --> 00:17:48.839
 sign up,

00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:50.160
 give me your credit card information,

00:17:50.299 --> 00:17:51.879
 I'll give you the techniques

00:17:51.879 --> 00:17:52.960
 so you can fish

00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:53.440
 on the right side

00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:53.700
 of the boat.

00:17:54.099 --> 00:17:54.379
 Okay,

00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:55.379
 next time you read that,

00:17:55.779 --> 00:17:56.259
 time out.

00:17:56.660 --> 00:17:57.839
 This is not a proof text

00:17:57.839 --> 00:17:59.119
 to sell your stuff.

00:18:00.180 --> 00:18:00.980
 The Bible

00:18:00.980 --> 00:18:01.799
 is never

00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:02.799
 a proof text

00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:03.720
 for you

00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:05.440
 to make lots of money

00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:07.660
 with your brilliant idea.

00:18:08.140 --> 00:18:08.940
 It's not.

00:18:09.140 --> 00:18:09.580
 Never.

00:18:09.940 --> 00:18:10.200
 Ever.

00:18:12.080 --> 00:18:13.180
 It's one of the ways

00:18:13.180 --> 00:18:14.180
 that people who say

00:18:14.180 --> 00:18:15.200
 they believe the Bible

00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:16.380
 act as if they

00:18:16.380 --> 00:18:17.580
 don't believe the Bible.

00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:18.779
 It's actually a violation

00:18:18.779 --> 00:18:20.299
 of the commandment

00:18:20.299 --> 00:18:21.480
 about taking the Lord's name

00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:21.940
 in vain,

00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:23.120
 actually.

00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:24.400
 So,

00:18:24.500 --> 00:18:25.860
 I hope there's no guest here

00:18:25.860 --> 00:18:27.480
 who has a 1-800 number

00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:28.820
 who's used this.

00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:29.420
 Well,

00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:29.799
 you know what?

00:18:30.460 --> 00:18:31.539
 I'm glad you heard this,

00:18:31.620 --> 00:18:32.039
 what I said,

00:18:32.120 --> 00:18:32.779
 because I know

00:18:32.779 --> 00:18:33.880
 I'm right on this.

00:18:34.180 --> 00:18:35.120
 And a moment's reflection

00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:35.719
 will tell you,

00:18:36.019 --> 00:18:37.179
 the Bible wasn't written

00:18:37.179 --> 00:18:38.739
 so you can make money

00:18:38.739 --> 00:18:40.259
 off your idea.

00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:41.339
 It wasn't written

00:18:41.339 --> 00:18:42.179
 for that at all,

00:18:42.299 --> 00:18:42.519
 ever.

00:18:43.239 --> 00:18:43.419
 Anyway,

00:18:43.500 --> 00:18:44.159
 back to the story.

00:18:44.679 --> 00:18:45.579
 Got you mixed up.

00:18:45.619 --> 00:18:46.000
 We'll go back

00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:48.219
 to verse 6.

00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:49.159
 He said to them,

00:18:49.219 --> 00:18:49.899
 Jesus said to them,

00:18:49.899 --> 00:18:50.599
 cast the net

00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:51.179
 on the other side

00:18:51.179 --> 00:18:51.519
 of the boat

00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:52.119
 and you will find

00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:52.639
 some fish.

00:18:52.899 --> 00:18:53.759
 So they cast it

00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:54.399
 and now they were

00:18:54.399 --> 00:18:55.759
 not able to haul it in

00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:56.699
 because of the quantity

00:18:56.699 --> 00:18:57.139
 of fish.

00:18:57.699 --> 00:18:58.339
 The disciple

00:18:58.339 --> 00:18:59.379
 whom Jesus loved

00:18:59.379 --> 00:19:00.399
 therefore said to Peter,

00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:01.699
 it is the Lord.

00:19:02.579 --> 00:19:03.579
 And when Simon Peter

00:19:03.579 --> 00:19:04.679
 heard that it was the Lord,

00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:06.039
 he put on his

00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:06.859
 outer garment

00:19:06.859 --> 00:19:07.899
 for he was stripped

00:19:07.899 --> 00:19:08.519
 for work

00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:10.219
 and threw himself

00:19:10.219 --> 00:19:10.899
 into the sea.

00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:12.699
 And the other disciples

00:19:12.699 --> 00:19:14.279
 came in the boat

00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:15.159
 dragging the net

00:19:15.159 --> 00:19:15.719
 full of fish

00:19:15.719 --> 00:19:16.279
 for they were not

00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:17.000
 far from the land

00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:18.119
 but about a hundred yards off.

00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:19.479
 Now just a couple

00:19:19.479 --> 00:19:19.979
 of things here.

00:19:20.059 --> 00:19:20.339
 Believe it,

00:19:20.459 --> 00:19:21.419
 as you can well imagine,

00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:22.019
 this has caused

00:19:22.019 --> 00:19:24.279
 lots of problems as well

00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:24.819
 and some of you

00:19:24.819 --> 00:19:25.879
 are probably wondering

00:19:25.879 --> 00:19:26.839
 why is it that

00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:28.219
 they are not able

00:19:28.219 --> 00:19:29.239
 to recognize Jesus.

00:19:29.419 --> 00:19:29.959
 Like isn't this

00:19:29.959 --> 00:19:30.619
 a contradiction?

00:19:30.619 --> 00:19:32.859
 If you just read

00:19:32.859 --> 00:19:33.519
 the gospel,

00:19:33.979 --> 00:19:35.319
 Jesus has appeared

00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:35.779
 to Mary,

00:19:35.899 --> 00:19:36.459
 he's appeared

00:19:36.459 --> 00:19:38.099
 to the ten of the disciples,

00:19:38.259 --> 00:19:38.619
 he's appeared

00:19:38.619 --> 00:19:39.500
 to eleven disciples

00:19:39.500 --> 00:19:40.500
 and maybe some others

00:19:40.500 --> 00:19:41.359
 and if you know

00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:41.899
 the other things

00:19:41.899 --> 00:19:42.459
 in the gospels,

00:19:42.539 --> 00:19:42.879
 he's appeared

00:19:42.879 --> 00:19:43.299
 to others

00:19:43.299 --> 00:19:43.699
 and here they

00:19:43.699 --> 00:19:44.759
 don't recognize him.

00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:46.019
 It would be

00:19:46.019 --> 00:19:46.939
 a little bit like this.

00:19:47.159 --> 00:19:47.639
 I know if you're

00:19:47.639 --> 00:19:48.099
 a guest here,

00:19:48.159 --> 00:19:48.519
 you don't know

00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:49.919
 who Andrew and Lisa are

00:19:49.919 --> 00:19:51.439
 but for those of us

00:19:51.439 --> 00:19:52.779
 who know Andrew

00:19:52.779 --> 00:19:53.239
 and Lisa

00:19:53.239 --> 00:19:54.359
 and what they look like,

00:19:54.579 --> 00:19:54.879
 okay,

00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:57.240
 and if you've ever

00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:58.020
 helped at coffee,

00:19:58.160 --> 00:19:58.440
 you know there's

00:19:58.440 --> 00:19:59.740
 a little tiny kitchen

00:19:59.740 --> 00:20:00.940
 just about over there,

00:20:01.020 --> 00:20:01.660
 a little tiny,

00:20:01.800 --> 00:20:02.520
 tiny kitchen,

00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:03.560
 not much bigger

00:20:03.560 --> 00:20:04.200
 than a closet

00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:06.540
 and if two of you

00:20:06.540 --> 00:20:07.900
 went into that kitchen

00:20:07.900 --> 00:20:09.160
 and one of you

00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:10.120
 came out and said to me,

00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:10.960
 oh, I saw Andrew

00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:11.600
 in the kitchen

00:20:11.600 --> 00:20:12.800
 all by himself

00:20:12.800 --> 00:20:13.460
 and the other one said,

00:20:13.520 --> 00:20:13.720
 no, no,

00:20:13.740 --> 00:20:14.740
 I saw Lisa in the kitchen

00:20:14.740 --> 00:20:15.480
 all by herself,

00:20:16.360 --> 00:20:17.000
 you would wonder

00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:17.780
 what's going on.

00:20:18.520 --> 00:20:20.300
 Nobody would confuse

00:20:20.300 --> 00:20:21.520
 Andrew with Lisa.

00:20:23.100 --> 00:20:24.500
 It's never going to happen

00:20:24.500 --> 00:20:25.440
 in a million,

00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:25.880
 well, maybe,

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:26.359
 I don't know,

00:20:26.579 --> 00:20:27.539
 maybe in a million years,

00:20:27.579 --> 00:20:27.859
 I don't know,

00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:28.400
 but they won't live,

00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:29.940
 nobody will confuse them.

00:20:30.539 --> 00:20:30.779
 You know,

00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:32.480
 one is this tall,

00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:34.900
 one is this tall,

00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:37.740
 male and female,

00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:39.799
 different color,

00:20:40.420 --> 00:20:41.220
 different boy,

00:20:41.380 --> 00:20:42.160
 like nobody

00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:43.200
 will confuse them,

00:20:43.299 --> 00:20:43.559
 right?

00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:44.819
 So if one of,

00:20:44.900 --> 00:20:45.400
 if two of you

00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:45.759
 went in and said,

00:20:45.819 --> 00:20:46.460
 no, I saw Andrew

00:20:46.460 --> 00:20:47.480
 in this little tiny room

00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:48.319
 and the other one said,

00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:48.980
 no, no, it was Lisa,

00:20:49.099 --> 00:20:49.400
 you'd go,

00:20:49.579 --> 00:20:51.000
 there's something wrong,

00:20:51.220 --> 00:20:53.420
 like somebody's making up

00:20:53.420 --> 00:20:55.080
 and so we take

00:20:55.080 --> 00:20:55.720
 this assumption

00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:56.240
 because why,

00:20:56.320 --> 00:20:56.960
 we understand

00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:57.960
 what people look like

00:20:57.960 --> 00:20:58.660
 and how perception

00:20:58.660 --> 00:20:59.700
 worked with human beings

00:20:59.700 --> 00:21:01.080
 but here's the problem

00:21:01.080 --> 00:21:01.640
 we have.

00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:03.980
 How much do any of us

00:21:03.980 --> 00:21:05.480
 know about resurrected bodies?

00:21:09.080 --> 00:21:10.000
 How many of us

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:10.940
 have a direct

00:21:10.940 --> 00:21:12.700
 day-by-day experience

00:21:12.700 --> 00:21:14.279
 with resurrected bodies?

00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:15.500
 If you put up your hand,

00:21:15.580 --> 00:21:16.460
 I don't believe you.

00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:19.519
 The answer is

00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:21.279
 we have zero knowledge

00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:22.859
 of resurrected bodies.

00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:24.899
 The only knowledge

00:21:24.899 --> 00:21:26.299
 we have of resurrected bodies

00:21:26.299 --> 00:21:27.279
 is what we find

00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:27.920
 by reading

00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:29.639
 the eyewitness accounts

00:21:29.639 --> 00:21:32.480
 and all of the eyewitness accounts

00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:33.559
 seem to say

00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:36.980
 that you can't just observe

00:21:36.980 --> 00:21:38.779
 Jesus after his resurrection

00:21:38.779 --> 00:21:39.579
 the same way

00:21:39.579 --> 00:21:40.359
 you can observe

00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:41.399
 Andrew or Lisa

00:21:41.399 --> 00:21:42.619
 or me.

00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:46.700
 It seems as if

00:21:46.700 --> 00:21:48.220
 for we,

00:21:48.399 --> 00:21:48.519
 see,

00:21:48.579 --> 00:21:49.379
 I have fallen,

00:21:49.380 --> 00:21:50.980
 I'm a fallen human being

00:21:50.980 --> 00:21:51.620
 and I'm mortal

00:21:51.620 --> 00:21:54.320
 and I know

00:21:54.320 --> 00:21:55.120
 that I can observe

00:21:55.120 --> 00:21:55.700
 other people

00:21:55.700 --> 00:21:56.480
 and I can just look

00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:57.260
 and I can see them

00:21:57.260 --> 00:21:58.160
 but it seems as if

00:21:58.160 --> 00:21:59.000
 from the records

00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:00.940
 that Jesus really did

00:22:00.940 --> 00:22:01.840
 rise from the dead

00:22:01.840 --> 00:22:02.980
 he really is physical

00:22:02.980 --> 00:22:03.620
 as we're going to see

00:22:03.620 --> 00:22:03.900
 in a moment

00:22:03.900 --> 00:22:04.580
 he eats fish

00:22:04.580 --> 00:22:05.100
 and all of that

00:22:05.100 --> 00:22:05.800
 type of stuff

00:22:05.800 --> 00:22:07.820
 he really is alive

00:22:07.820 --> 00:22:08.440
 he really has

00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:09.000
 defeated death

00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:09.900
 but you cannot

00:22:09.900 --> 00:22:11.500
 observe Jesus

00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:14.060
 and recognize him

00:22:14.060 --> 00:22:15.280
 unless he wills it.

00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:19.440
 and that's what

00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:19.980
 seems to be

00:22:19.980 --> 00:22:20.879
 most of the New Testament

00:22:20.879 --> 00:22:21.740
 accounts all seem

00:22:21.740 --> 00:22:22.279
 to say that

00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:24.259
 and I don't understand

00:22:24.259 --> 00:22:24.920
 why scholars have

00:22:24.920 --> 00:22:25.740
 such a problem with it

00:22:25.740 --> 00:22:26.639
 it only makes

00:22:26.639 --> 00:22:27.399
 we can only really

00:22:27.399 --> 00:22:27.920
 have a problem

00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:28.859
 if you think

00:22:28.859 --> 00:22:29.259
 you know a lot

00:22:29.259 --> 00:22:30.339
 about resurrected bodies

00:22:30.339 --> 00:22:31.559
 and we don't

00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:34.359
 Jesus has to will it

00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:35.619
 and that's what happens

00:22:35.619 --> 00:22:35.940
 in fact

00:22:35.940 --> 00:22:36.779
 if you think

00:22:36.779 --> 00:22:37.859
 if you look at it

00:22:37.859 --> 00:22:39.200
 this isn't just

00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:39.899
 George saying this

00:22:39.899 --> 00:22:40.299
 look up

00:22:40.299 --> 00:22:40.980
 if you put

00:22:40.980 --> 00:22:42.059
 go back to verse 1

00:22:42.059 --> 00:22:42.879
 of chapter 21

00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:44.260
 look at this

00:22:44.260 --> 00:22:45.240
 the Bible

00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:46.000
 you see the Bible

00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:46.680
 often if you read

00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:47.580
 the Bible carefully

00:22:47.580 --> 00:22:48.460
 it often helps you

00:22:48.460 --> 00:22:49.060
 to understand

00:22:49.060 --> 00:22:49.880
 what's going on

00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:51.080
 after this

00:22:51.080 --> 00:22:52.220
 Jesus revealed

00:22:52.220 --> 00:22:53.420
 himself again

00:22:53.420 --> 00:22:54.100
 to the disciples

00:22:54.100 --> 00:22:55.620
 by the sea of Tiberias

00:22:55.620 --> 00:22:56.600
 and he revealed

00:22:56.600 --> 00:22:57.920
 himself in this way

00:22:57.920 --> 00:22:58.560
 he uses the word

00:22:58.560 --> 00:22:59.240
 revealed twice

00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:00.020
 if you want to

00:23:00.020 --> 00:23:00.760
 just skip down

00:23:00.760 --> 00:23:02.340
 now to verse 14

00:23:02.340 --> 00:23:03.600
 I don't know

00:23:03.600 --> 00:23:03.820
 if it will be

00:23:03.820 --> 00:23:04.440
 on the screen or not

00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:05.320
 verse 14 says

00:23:05.320 --> 00:23:05.800
 this was now

00:23:05.800 --> 00:23:06.400
 the third time

00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:07.720
 that Jesus was revealed

00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:08.940
 to the disciples

00:23:08.940 --> 00:23:09.660
 after he was raised

00:23:09.660 --> 00:23:10.100
 from the dead

00:23:10.100 --> 00:23:10.940
 and the word

00:23:10.940 --> 00:23:11.920
 the original language

00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:12.460
 word revealed

00:23:12.460 --> 00:23:13.120
 can sometimes

00:23:13.120 --> 00:23:13.960
 just mean appear

00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:15.519
 but the fundamental

00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:16.640
 meaning is

00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:18.380
 makes understood

00:23:18.380 --> 00:23:19.380
 and visible

00:23:19.380 --> 00:23:20.720
 what cannot be

00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:21.299
 understood

00:23:21.299 --> 00:23:22.319
 or seen

00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:24.539
 that God

00:23:24.539 --> 00:23:25.640
 reveals himself

00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:27.160
 we can't see God

00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:28.180
 by ourself

00:23:28.180 --> 00:23:29.620
 he has to reveal himself

00:23:29.620 --> 00:23:30.579
 we can't know

00:23:30.579 --> 00:23:31.860
 what God is thinking

00:23:31.860 --> 00:23:32.960
 he has to reveal it

00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:33.700
 it would just be

00:23:33.700 --> 00:23:34.319
 the same thing

00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:35.720
 as any human being

00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:36.120
 you don't know

00:23:36.120 --> 00:23:36.960
 what they're thinking

00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:39.140
 if I ask all of you

00:23:39.140 --> 00:23:39.680
 right now

00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:41.340
 to just tell me

00:23:41.339 --> 00:23:42.199
 what I'm thinking

00:23:42.199 --> 00:23:42.220
 what I'm thinking

00:23:42.220 --> 00:23:42.819
 in my head

00:23:42.819 --> 00:23:43.399
 right now

00:23:43.399 --> 00:23:45.839
 probably none of you

00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:46.240
 would be able

00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:46.899
 to tell me

00:23:46.899 --> 00:23:49.500
 but I was picturing

00:23:49.500 --> 00:23:50.480
 the little Baptist church

00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:51.139
 I grew up in

00:23:51.139 --> 00:23:52.500
 I had to reveal that

00:23:52.500 --> 00:23:52.799
 to you

00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:53.839
 and that's the word here

00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:55.000
 three times

00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:55.539
 at the beginning

00:23:55.539 --> 00:23:56.379
 and the end of the story

00:23:56.379 --> 00:23:58.240
 Jesus reveals himself

00:23:58.240 --> 00:23:59.399
 he makes visible

00:23:59.399 --> 00:24:00.079
 or clear

00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:00.619
 understood

00:24:00.619 --> 00:24:01.919
 what they could not know

00:24:01.919 --> 00:24:03.319
 by their own power

00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:06.500
 but we still have to get around

00:24:06.500 --> 00:24:07.220
 this whole thing

00:24:07.220 --> 00:24:07.419
 about

00:24:07.419 --> 00:24:08.419
 are the disciples

00:24:08.420 --> 00:24:09.680
 just dumb

00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:11.480
 are they rebellious

00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:12.259
 are they acting

00:24:12.259 --> 00:24:12.759
 in a way

00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:13.620
 that is in complete

00:24:13.620 --> 00:24:14.880
 defiance of Jesus

00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:17.160
 does Jesus do this miracle

00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:18.240
 so he could say

00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:20.519
 okay goofballs

00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:22.980
 I gave you the instructions

00:24:22.980 --> 00:24:25.200
 you weren't doing them

00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:26.259
 and that's why

00:24:26.259 --> 00:24:27.840
 you got zero fish

00:24:27.840 --> 00:24:29.160
 and I have to come up

00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:29.860
 a second time

00:24:29.860 --> 00:24:31.800
 and give you 153 big fish

00:24:31.800 --> 00:24:32.539
 to understand

00:24:32.539 --> 00:24:33.860
 you gotta listen to me

00:24:33.860 --> 00:24:34.800
 and do what I say

00:24:34.800 --> 00:24:36.220
 so get your butts

00:24:36.220 --> 00:24:37.600
 somewhere else

00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:38.559
 get doing

00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:39.519
 what I told you

00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:39.980
 is that what

00:24:39.980 --> 00:24:41.079
 no let's see what happens

00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:42.099
 verse 9

00:24:42.099 --> 00:24:44.480
 right

00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:45.859
 they get to shore

00:24:45.859 --> 00:24:47.419
 with all the fish

00:24:47.419 --> 00:24:48.419
 verse 9

00:24:48.419 --> 00:24:49.019
 when they got out

00:24:49.019 --> 00:24:50.299
 on the land

00:24:50.299 --> 00:24:52.659
 they saw a charcoal fire

00:24:52.659 --> 00:24:53.379
 in place

00:24:53.379 --> 00:24:54.279
 with fish

00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:54.980
 laid on it

00:24:54.980 --> 00:24:55.719
 and bread

00:24:55.719 --> 00:24:57.459
 so the fish is cooking

00:24:57.459 --> 00:24:59.279
 and there's some fresh bread

00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:01.199
 Jesus said to them

00:25:01.199 --> 00:25:02.819
 bring some of the fish

00:25:02.819 --> 00:25:03.699
 that you've just caught

00:25:03.699 --> 00:25:05.299
 so Simon Peter

00:25:05.299 --> 00:25:05.799
 went aboard

00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:07.039
 and hauled the net ashore

00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:08.259
 full of large fish

00:25:08.259 --> 00:25:10.319
 153 of them

00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:12.119
 and although

00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:13.079
 there were so many

00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:14.180
 the net was not torn

00:25:14.180 --> 00:25:15.819
 Jesus said to them

00:25:15.819 --> 00:25:17.519
 come and have breakfast

00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:19.779
 now none of the disciples

00:25:19.779 --> 00:25:20.639
 dared ask him

00:25:20.639 --> 00:25:21.579
 who are you

00:25:21.579 --> 00:25:23.240
 they knew it was the Lord

00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:24.879
 Jesus came

00:25:24.879 --> 00:25:25.639
 and took the bread

00:25:25.639 --> 00:25:26.460
 and gave it to them

00:25:26.460 --> 00:25:27.420
 and so with the fish

00:25:27.420 --> 00:25:28.619
 this was now

00:25:28.619 --> 00:25:29.359
 the third time

00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:30.399
 that Jesus was revealed

00:25:30.399 --> 00:25:31.259
 to the disciples

00:25:31.259 --> 00:25:32.819
 after he was raised

00:25:32.819 --> 00:25:33.980
 from the dead

00:25:33.980 --> 00:25:39.200
 I'm going to unpack it

00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:39.879
 with some points

00:25:39.879 --> 00:25:40.299
 to help you

00:25:40.299 --> 00:25:41.179
 but here's the main thing

00:25:41.179 --> 00:25:42.019
 if you look at this text

00:25:42.019 --> 00:25:43.399
 there's no word of condemnation

00:25:43.399 --> 00:25:44.480
 is there not one word

00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:45.279
 of condemnation

00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:46.279
 Jesus didn't say

00:25:46.279 --> 00:25:47.119
 you got it wrong

00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:49.579
 in fact what John

00:25:49.579 --> 00:25:50.859
 has done very helpfully

00:25:50.859 --> 00:25:51.639
 is after

00:25:51.639 --> 00:25:53.500
 this very important message

00:25:53.500 --> 00:25:54.379
 which went on earlier

00:25:54.379 --> 00:25:55.559
 which is that you're blessed

00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:56.659
 if you believe in Jesus

00:25:56.659 --> 00:25:58.039
 you have an obligation

00:25:58.039 --> 00:25:58.559
 to go and

00:25:58.559 --> 00:25:59.659
 let people know

00:25:59.659 --> 00:26:00.259
 that Jesus

00:26:00.259 --> 00:26:01.480
 has provided the means

00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:02.860
 by which you as a human being

00:26:02.860 --> 00:26:04.500
 can now be at peace with God

00:26:04.500 --> 00:26:05.960
 no longer at enmity

00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:07.039
 he can be your God

00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:08.380
 he can be your heavenly father

00:26:08.380 --> 00:26:11.180
 you can start to understand

00:26:11.180 --> 00:26:12.380
 his love for you

00:26:12.380 --> 00:26:13.700
 and you can walk with him

00:26:13.700 --> 00:26:14.339
 and with Jesus

00:26:14.339 --> 00:26:15.660
 you can learn about

00:26:15.660 --> 00:26:17.180
 the existence of the Holy Spirit

00:26:17.180 --> 00:26:18.700
 and the Holy Spirit's power

00:26:18.700 --> 00:26:19.900
 and be open to it

00:26:19.900 --> 00:26:22.120
 and you have this important message

00:26:22.120 --> 00:26:24.299
 and John here gives this

00:26:24.299 --> 00:26:26.279
 very very helpful pause

00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:27.519
 in terms of what it means

00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:28.339
 in terms we have to live

00:26:28.339 --> 00:26:29.759
 he does not condemn them

00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:30.880
 for anything they've done

00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:31.820
 and in fact

00:26:31.820 --> 00:26:32.660
 more than that

00:26:32.660 --> 00:26:35.020
 he blesses what they've done

00:26:35.020 --> 00:26:37.680
 and he blesses their presence

00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:40.520
 so let's just unpack that

00:26:40.520 --> 00:26:41.680
 with the last few minutes

00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:42.900
 if you could put up the first point

00:26:42.900 --> 00:26:43.960
 that would be very helpful

00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:46.900
 remember that the gospel

00:26:46.900 --> 00:26:47.660
 is proclaimed

00:26:47.660 --> 00:26:49.580
 to deliver you from religion

00:26:49.580 --> 00:26:51.700
 not to make you more religious

00:26:51.700 --> 00:26:53.980
 remember

00:26:53.980 --> 00:26:55.340
 that the gospel

00:26:55.340 --> 00:26:56.000
 is proclaimed

00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:57.820
 to deliver you from religion

00:26:57.819 --> 00:26:59.720
 not to make you

00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:00.980
 more religious

00:27:00.980 --> 00:27:02.200
 you see my mistake

00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:03.240
 and I don't know how I got it

00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:04.399
 and probably if I went back

00:27:04.399 --> 00:27:05.159
 in time to

00:27:05.159 --> 00:27:06.500
 to my

00:27:06.500 --> 00:27:07.339
 the Baptist church

00:27:07.339 --> 00:27:07.939
 I grew up in

00:27:07.939 --> 00:27:08.839
 it might very well be

00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:09.439
 that the minister

00:27:09.439 --> 00:27:10.299
 was all the time

00:27:10.299 --> 00:27:11.279
 speaking against it

00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:12.079
 but somehow or another

00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:12.919
 I didn't get it

00:27:12.919 --> 00:27:13.740
 I was dumb

00:27:13.740 --> 00:27:14.799
 I was a slow learner

00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:17.359
 but I sort of made the mistake

00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:18.899
 that what a real Christian is

00:27:18.899 --> 00:27:19.720
 is a real Christian

00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:20.339
 is both somebody

00:27:20.339 --> 00:27:20.960
 who's given their life

00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:21.539
 to Jesus

00:27:21.539 --> 00:27:23.559
 but is also a Baptist

00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:25.859
 also dresses a certain way

00:27:25.859 --> 00:27:27.119
 also likes a certain type

00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:27.599
 of music

00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:29.119
 also has a certain type

00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:30.259
 of political beliefs

00:27:30.259 --> 00:27:31.279
 and

00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:32.359
 and

00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:36.240
 and

00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:36.259
 and

00:27:36.259 --> 00:27:36.859
 and

00:27:36.859 --> 00:27:37.559
 that's

00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:38.599
 that's what a real Christian is

00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:39.679
 you can't just actually

00:27:39.679 --> 00:27:40.819
 you just can't actually

00:27:40.819 --> 00:27:41.960
 put your faith in Jesus

00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:42.559
 you've got to have

00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:43.480
 that other stuff too

00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:45.599
 that's what religion is

00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:47.759
 it's self-righteous

00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:50.919
 you see it's not enough

00:27:50.919 --> 00:27:51.779
 just to depend

00:27:51.779 --> 00:27:53.539
 it's easier the gospel message is

00:27:53.539 --> 00:27:55.359
 that Jesus does everything

00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:56.559
 to make you right with him

00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:57.980
 absolutely everything

00:27:57.980 --> 00:27:59.220
 with nothing left over

00:27:59.220 --> 00:28:01.359
 every accusation against you

00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:02.680
 every claim against you

00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:03.940
 he deals with it

00:28:03.940 --> 00:28:05.339
 your need to appear

00:28:05.339 --> 00:28:07.059
 perfect before God

00:28:07.059 --> 00:28:08.899
 you're clothed with his righteousness

00:28:08.899 --> 00:28:10.059
 you don't say

00:28:10.059 --> 00:28:10.759
 okay

00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:12.379
 father so thankful

00:28:12.379 --> 00:28:13.299
 that Jesus died

00:28:13.299 --> 00:28:14.259
 to take away my sins

00:28:14.259 --> 00:28:15.139
 and I know I can't appear

00:28:15.139 --> 00:28:15.839
 before you naked

00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:17.180
 so I just want to let you know

00:28:17.180 --> 00:28:19.019
 I wore the right clothes

00:28:19.019 --> 00:28:20.740
 liked the right music

00:28:20.740 --> 00:28:22.480
 didn't like certain movies

00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:23.519
 voted the right

00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:23.960
 way

00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:25.839
 and I went to a Baptist church

00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:27.059
 not picking on Baptist

00:28:27.059 --> 00:28:27.379
 I just

00:28:27.379 --> 00:28:28.139
 I was a Baptist

00:28:28.139 --> 00:28:29.099
 I'm talking about myself

00:28:29.099 --> 00:28:29.420
 right

00:28:29.420 --> 00:28:31.220
 no no no no no

00:28:31.220 --> 00:28:32.759
 God the Father

00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:33.379
 would come up to you

00:28:33.379 --> 00:28:33.519
 and say

00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:34.740
 oh come on dear one

00:28:34.740 --> 00:28:35.460
 you'd want to give me

00:28:35.460 --> 00:28:36.160
 a hug in heaven

00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:36.539
 he said

00:28:36.539 --> 00:28:38.299
 you are so silly

00:28:38.299 --> 00:28:40.079
 all that other stuff

00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:40.839
 doesn't matter

00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:42.279
 in fact it's

00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:43.220
 it's dumb

00:28:43.220 --> 00:28:45.019
 like

00:28:45.019 --> 00:28:46.240
 you're clothed

00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:47.400
 with my son's

00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:48.000
 righteousness

00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:54.440
 that's what you're clothed with

00:28:54.440 --> 00:28:58.039
 and you see

00:28:58.039 --> 00:28:59.339
 at the heart of all

00:28:59.339 --> 00:29:00.119
 religion

00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:01.440
 and all spirituality

00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:02.619
 is this idea

00:29:02.619 --> 00:29:03.720
 that I need to make

00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:04.660
 myself clean

00:29:04.660 --> 00:29:05.480
 I need to make

00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:06.539
 myself acceptable

00:29:06.539 --> 00:29:08.200
 I can't just touch

00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:08.960
 trust

00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:09.779
 purely

00:29:09.779 --> 00:29:10.579
 and utterly

00:29:10.579 --> 00:29:11.660
 and completely

00:29:11.660 --> 00:29:12.759
 and massively

00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:14.160
 upon grace

00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:17.100
 I need to supplement

00:29:17.100 --> 00:29:17.460
 it

00:29:17.460 --> 00:29:19.000
 and then one of the

00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:19.580
 problems is

00:29:19.580 --> 00:29:21.180
 a lot of us

00:29:21.180 --> 00:29:22.700
 look at people

00:29:22.700 --> 00:29:23.340
 who are religious

00:29:23.340 --> 00:29:24.300
 and what we see

00:29:24.300 --> 00:29:25.380
 we see phonies

00:29:25.380 --> 00:29:26.920
 we see

00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:28.340
 hypocrisy

00:29:28.340 --> 00:29:29.800
 and we see a whole

00:29:29.800 --> 00:29:30.400
 pile of things

00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:31.560
 that don't interest us

00:29:31.560 --> 00:29:33.519
 and so we reject it

00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:35.640
 but we're not really

00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:36.720
 rejecting the gospel

00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:37.360
 the gospel

00:29:37.360 --> 00:29:38.019
 is the message

00:29:38.019 --> 00:29:38.620
 that God

00:29:38.620 --> 00:29:39.480
 has done everything

00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:40.560
 that needs to be done

00:29:40.560 --> 00:29:41.340
 to make you right

00:29:41.340 --> 00:29:41.820
 with himself

00:29:41.819 --> 00:29:42.379
 he does it

00:29:42.379 --> 00:29:43.359
 because he loves you

00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:43.899
 he does it

00:29:43.899 --> 00:29:44.599
 knowing you can't

00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:45.339
 do it for yourself

00:29:45.339 --> 00:29:46.379
 he does it

00:29:46.379 --> 00:29:46.859
 knowing you've

00:29:46.859 --> 00:29:47.519
 turned your back

00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:47.859
 on him

00:29:47.859 --> 00:29:48.240
 and you're at

00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:49.059
 enmity with him

00:29:49.059 --> 00:29:50.639
 he knows all of this

00:29:50.639 --> 00:29:52.259
 and still he loves you

00:29:52.259 --> 00:29:53.960
 still he loves you

00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:54.899
 and did all that is

00:29:54.899 --> 00:29:55.460
 needed for you

00:29:55.460 --> 00:29:56.119
 to be made right

00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:56.480
 with him

00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:57.759
 still he loves you

00:29:57.759 --> 00:29:59.119
 and the gospel

00:29:59.119 --> 00:29:59.919
 message is

00:29:59.919 --> 00:30:02.899
 to our Jewish friends

00:30:02.899 --> 00:30:04.279
 you don't stop

00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:04.960
 being Jewish

00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:06.919
 but you don't have

00:30:06.919 --> 00:30:07.939
 to wear that skull cap

00:30:07.939 --> 00:30:08.500
 you don't have to

00:30:08.500 --> 00:30:09.599
 real Christians

00:30:09.599 --> 00:30:10.439
 don't have to wrap

00:30:10.439 --> 00:30:10.960
 your arms

00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:11.720
 with certain types

00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:12.140
 of leather

00:30:12.140 --> 00:30:12.660
 and have certain

00:30:12.660 --> 00:30:13.059
 types of

00:30:13.059 --> 00:30:14.180
 to our Muslim

00:30:14.180 --> 00:30:14.480
 friends

00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:15.180
 guys you don't

00:30:15.180 --> 00:30:15.759
 have to grow a beard

00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:16.400
 you want to grow a beard

00:30:16.400 --> 00:30:17.079
 that's fine

00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:17.559
 you know

00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:18.180
 but you don't have

00:30:18.180 --> 00:30:18.640
 to grow a beard

00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:19.059
 you don't have to

00:30:19.059 --> 00:30:19.799
 wear that clothes

00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:22.039
 to Christians

00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:25.160
 you can like

00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:25.740
 different types

00:30:25.740 --> 00:30:26.200
 of music

00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:28.220
 and it's not

00:30:28.220 --> 00:30:28.720
 the case

00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:29.940
 that a priest

00:30:29.940 --> 00:30:30.620
 is more holy

00:30:30.620 --> 00:30:31.920
 than a lay person

00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:34.900
 you see

00:30:34.900 --> 00:30:35.660
 because what's

00:30:35.660 --> 00:30:36.420
 undergirding

00:30:36.420 --> 00:30:36.900
 religion

00:30:36.900 --> 00:30:37.620
 is that

00:30:37.620 --> 00:30:38.079
 I'm

00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:39.259
 me and Sean

00:30:39.259 --> 00:30:40.619
 and maybe

00:30:40.619 --> 00:30:41.140
 Gary

00:30:41.140 --> 00:30:42.039
 and almost

00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:42.579
 Jonathan

00:30:42.579 --> 00:30:43.240
 and almost

00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:43.619
 Daniel

00:30:43.619 --> 00:30:44.160
 we're the real

00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:44.579
 Christians

00:30:44.579 --> 00:30:45.200
 the rest of you

00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:45.660
 are at best

00:30:45.660 --> 00:30:46.359
 second rate

00:30:46.359 --> 00:30:48.759
 okay

00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:49.480
 I think there's

00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:50.059
 a person here

00:30:50.059 --> 00:30:50.440
 who does a lot

00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:50.859
 of Christian

00:30:50.859 --> 00:30:51.259
 speaking

00:30:51.259 --> 00:30:51.779
 so you're

00:30:51.779 --> 00:30:52.539
 included with me

00:30:52.539 --> 00:30:53.019
 we're like

00:30:53.019 --> 00:30:53.579
 up here

00:30:53.579 --> 00:30:54.059
 but everybody

00:30:54.059 --> 00:30:54.839
 else is second

00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:55.099
 rate

00:30:55.099 --> 00:30:55.619
 because real

00:30:55.619 --> 00:30:56.099
 Christians

00:30:56.099 --> 00:30:57.039
 make their

00:30:57.039 --> 00:30:57.440
 living from

00:30:57.440 --> 00:30:57.960
 the gospel

00:30:57.960 --> 00:30:58.879
 nah

00:30:58.879 --> 00:31:00.619
 that's what

00:31:00.619 --> 00:31:01.059
 this text

00:31:01.059 --> 00:31:01.420
 is saying

00:31:01.420 --> 00:31:01.879
 that's not

00:31:01.879 --> 00:31:02.279
 true

00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:04.740
 God

00:31:04.740 --> 00:31:05.379
 does call

00:31:05.379 --> 00:31:06.059
 certain people

00:31:06.059 --> 00:31:06.500
 to be set

00:31:06.500 --> 00:31:06.799
 aside

00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:07.119
 to make

00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:07.440
 their living

00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:07.779
 from the

00:31:07.779 --> 00:31:08.079
 gospel

00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:08.559
 but most

00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:08.980
 people are

00:31:08.980 --> 00:31:09.259
 not

00:31:09.259 --> 00:31:09.859
 and that's

00:31:09.859 --> 00:31:10.180
 what this

00:31:10.180 --> 00:31:10.680
 story so

00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:11.779
 powerfully

00:31:11.779 --> 00:31:13.000
 reveals

00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:17.099
 but some

00:31:17.099 --> 00:31:17.480
 of you might

00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:18.059
 say all

00:31:18.059 --> 00:31:18.680
 you want

00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:19.039

00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:19.259
 have to

00:31:19.259 --> 00:31:19.700
 have faith

00:31:19.700 --> 00:31:19.940
 and then

00:31:19.940 --> 00:31:20.180
 you do

00:31:20.180 --> 00:31:20.420
 whatever

00:31:20.420 --> 00:31:21.079
 you want

00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:21.899
 like is

00:31:21.899 --> 00:31:22.180
 that what

00:31:22.180 --> 00:31:22.519
 the Bible

00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:22.779
 is saying

00:31:22.779 --> 00:31:23.000
 you just

00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:23.319
 have this

00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:23.759
 private

00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:24.399
 revelation

00:31:24.399 --> 00:31:25.000
 of Jesus

00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:26.000
 and then

00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:26.220
 once you

00:31:26.220 --> 00:31:26.480
 have your

00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:26.799
 private

00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:27.240
 revelation

00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:27.720
 of Jesus

00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:28.079
 you can

00:31:28.079 --> 00:31:28.240
 just

00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:28.660
 every once

00:31:28.660 --> 00:31:28.960
 in a while

00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:29.339
 sort of

00:31:29.339 --> 00:31:30.119
 have a little

00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:30.539
 zinging

00:31:30.539 --> 00:31:31.379
 conversation

00:31:31.380 --> 00:31:31.860
 with them

00:31:31.860 --> 00:31:32.220
 or a little

00:31:32.220 --> 00:31:32.740
 boast of

00:31:32.740 --> 00:31:32.980
 woo

00:31:32.980 --> 00:31:33.560
 there's a bit

00:31:33.560 --> 00:31:34.140
 of spiritual

00:31:34.140 --> 00:31:34.640
 energy

00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:35.640
 you just

00:31:35.640 --> 00:31:35.880
 sort of

00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:36.300
 live whatever

00:31:36.300 --> 00:31:36.640
 way you

00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:36.860
 want

00:31:36.860 --> 00:31:37.220
 do whatever

00:31:37.220 --> 00:31:37.360
 you

00:31:37.360 --> 00:31:37.700
 no no

00:31:37.700 --> 00:31:37.960
 that's

00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:38.300
 that

00:31:38.300 --> 00:31:38.800
 could you

00:31:38.800 --> 00:31:39.020
 put up

00:31:39.020 --> 00:31:39.300
 the next

00:31:39.300 --> 00:31:39.540
 point

00:31:39.540 --> 00:31:39.780
 that would

00:31:39.780 --> 00:31:40.060
 be very

00:31:40.060 --> 00:31:40.420
 helpful

00:31:40.420 --> 00:31:41.380
 remember

00:31:41.380 --> 00:31:41.780
 that you

00:31:41.780 --> 00:31:42.240
 enter the

00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:42.780
 Jesus way

00:31:42.780 --> 00:31:43.620
 by yourself

00:31:43.620 --> 00:31:44.980
 but you

00:31:44.980 --> 00:31:45.320
 live the

00:31:45.320 --> 00:31:45.860
 Jesus way

00:31:45.860 --> 00:31:46.340
 with Jesus

00:31:46.340 --> 00:31:46.820
 and others

00:31:46.820 --> 00:31:47.980
 you enter

00:31:47.980 --> 00:31:48.500
 the Jesus

00:31:48.500 --> 00:31:49.020
 way

00:31:49.020 --> 00:31:50.340
 by yourself

00:31:50.340 --> 00:31:51.440
 but you

00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:51.740
 live the

00:31:51.740 --> 00:31:52.340
 Jesus way

00:31:52.340 --> 00:31:53.940
 with Jesus

00:31:53.940 --> 00:31:55.060
 and others

00:31:55.060 --> 00:31:56.480
 you see

00:31:56.480 --> 00:31:58.280
 one of the

00:31:58.280 --> 00:31:58.800
 things which

00:31:58.800 --> 00:31:59.160
 is at the

00:31:59.160 --> 00:31:59.520
 heart of the

00:31:59.520 --> 00:32:00.260
 gospel is that

00:32:00.260 --> 00:32:00.780
 the gospel

00:32:00.780 --> 00:32:01.360
 is going to

00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:02.399
 restore you

00:32:02.399 --> 00:32:03.219
 to being

00:32:03.219 --> 00:32:03.699
 human

00:32:03.699 --> 00:32:05.399
 as the

00:32:05.399 --> 00:32:06.219
 gospel grips

00:32:06.219 --> 00:32:06.539
 you and

00:32:06.539 --> 00:32:07.199
 shapes you

00:32:07.199 --> 00:32:07.939
 it will start

00:32:07.939 --> 00:32:08.579
 to restore

00:32:08.579 --> 00:32:09.039
 you to be

00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:09.399
 human

00:32:09.399 --> 00:32:10.879
 and what are

00:32:10.879 --> 00:32:11.500
 human beings

00:32:11.500 --> 00:32:12.259
 on one level

00:32:12.259 --> 00:32:13.259
 I'm a private

00:32:13.259 --> 00:32:14.099
 guy I have my

00:32:14.099 --> 00:32:14.619
 own personal

00:32:14.619 --> 00:32:15.179
 experience

00:32:15.179 --> 00:32:15.779
 none of you

00:32:15.779 --> 00:32:16.519
 actually can

00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:17.119
 ever fully

00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:18.139
 properly enter

00:32:18.139 --> 00:32:18.599
 into my

00:32:18.599 --> 00:32:19.079
 experience

00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:19.439
 it's my

00:32:19.439 --> 00:32:20.099
 experience

00:32:20.099 --> 00:32:22.439
 and but on

00:32:22.439 --> 00:32:23.000
 the other hand

00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:23.939
 you know you

00:32:23.939 --> 00:32:24.659
 have families

00:32:24.659 --> 00:32:25.099
 you have

00:32:25.099 --> 00:32:25.719
 workplaces

00:32:25.719 --> 00:32:26.179
 you have a

00:32:26.179 --> 00:32:26.919
 social life

00:32:26.920 --> 00:32:28.800
 and that's

00:32:28.800 --> 00:32:29.120
 some ways

00:32:29.120 --> 00:32:29.900
 reflected about

00:32:29.900 --> 00:32:30.160
 what the

00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:30.680
 Christian life

00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:30.840
 is

00:32:30.840 --> 00:32:31.240
 it's not

00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:31.820
 just that

00:32:31.820 --> 00:32:32.779
 you become

00:32:32.779 --> 00:32:33.300
 a lonely

00:32:33.300 --> 00:32:34.019
 mystic

00:32:34.019 --> 00:32:34.580
 all by

00:32:34.580 --> 00:32:35.100
 yourself

00:32:35.100 --> 00:32:35.480
 or you

00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:36.259
 engage on

00:32:36.259 --> 00:32:36.560
 your own

00:32:36.560 --> 00:32:37.120
 particular

00:32:37.120 --> 00:32:38.039
 all alone

00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:38.700
 religious

00:32:38.700 --> 00:32:39.740
 spiritual

00:32:39.740 --> 00:32:40.380
 quest

00:32:40.380 --> 00:32:41.840
 no the

00:32:41.840 --> 00:32:42.340
 Bible is

00:32:42.340 --> 00:32:42.540
 going to

00:32:42.540 --> 00:32:43.460
 restore you

00:32:43.460 --> 00:32:44.280
 to what

00:32:44.280 --> 00:32:44.640
 it means

00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:44.960
 to be

00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:45.340
 human

00:32:45.340 --> 00:32:46.320
 and that

00:32:46.320 --> 00:32:46.760
 means there's

00:32:46.760 --> 00:32:47.080
 going to be

00:32:47.080 --> 00:32:48.080
 private things

00:32:48.080 --> 00:32:48.740
 like private

00:32:48.740 --> 00:32:49.460
 devotions but

00:32:49.460 --> 00:32:49.880
 there's also

00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:50.260
 going to be

00:32:50.260 --> 00:32:51.120
 common types

00:32:51.120 --> 00:32:51.640
 of things

00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:52.820
 that's why

00:32:52.820 --> 00:32:54.640
 Jesus and

00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:55.280
 the Father and

00:32:55.280 --> 00:32:55.740
 the Holy Spirit

00:32:55.740 --> 00:32:56.240
 invent the

00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:58.020
 church that

00:32:58.020 --> 00:32:58.640
 we're meant to

00:32:58.640 --> 00:32:59.560
 do life with

00:32:59.560 --> 00:33:00.240
 other Christians

00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:02.560
 not in a way

00:33:02.560 --> 00:33:03.220
 that becomes

00:33:03.220 --> 00:33:04.000
 all consuming

00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:04.760
 but we're meant

00:33:04.760 --> 00:33:05.780
 to live with

00:33:05.780 --> 00:33:07.220
 others to

00:33:07.220 --> 00:33:07.700
 pray with

00:33:07.700 --> 00:33:08.280
 others to

00:33:08.280 --> 00:33:08.980
 celebrate with

00:33:08.980 --> 00:33:09.480
 others to

00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:09.960
 weep with

00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:10.340
 others

00:33:10.339 --> 00:33:10.859
 to struggle

00:33:10.859 --> 00:33:11.359
 with others

00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:11.779
 to help

00:33:11.779 --> 00:33:12.159
 with each

00:33:12.159 --> 00:33:12.439
 other

00:33:12.439 --> 00:33:13.819
 as what

00:33:13.819 --> 00:33:14.079
 God

00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:14.619
 intends

00:33:14.619 --> 00:33:16.839
 so you

00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:17.419
 have to

00:33:17.419 --> 00:33:17.720
 make a

00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:18.039
 personal

00:33:18.039 --> 00:33:18.619
 decision

00:33:18.619 --> 00:33:19.779
 to receive

00:33:19.779 --> 00:33:20.319
 Jesus as

00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:20.740
 your Savior

00:33:20.740 --> 00:33:21.220
 and Lord

00:33:21.220 --> 00:33:22.679
 but then

00:33:22.679 --> 00:33:22.879
 you're going

00:33:22.879 --> 00:33:23.220
 to start

00:33:23.220 --> 00:33:24.639
 the gospel

00:33:24.639 --> 00:33:25.519
 itself will

00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:25.959
 start to

00:33:25.959 --> 00:33:26.639
 shape you

00:33:26.639 --> 00:33:27.259
 to want to

00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.639
 spend at

00:33:27.639 --> 00:33:28.059
 least some

00:33:28.059 --> 00:33:28.579
 time in

00:33:28.579 --> 00:33:29.299
 some structured

00:33:29.299 --> 00:33:29.679
 and ordered

00:33:29.679 --> 00:33:30.579
 time with

00:33:30.579 --> 00:33:31.220
 other Christians

00:33:31.220 --> 00:33:34.579
 but

00:33:34.579 --> 00:33:40.279
 can you

00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:40.480
 put up

00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:40.720
 the next

00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:40.919
 point

00:33:40.919 --> 00:33:41.220
 I can't

00:33:41.220 --> 00:33:41.419
 remember

00:33:41.419 --> 00:33:41.720
 what my

00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:42.039
 bridge

00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:42.299
 point

00:33:42.299 --> 00:33:42.480
 was

00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:42.639
 going

00:33:42.639 --> 00:33:42.759
 to

00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:42.839
 be

00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:42.939
 to

00:33:42.939 --> 00:33:43.039
 the

00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:43.259
 next

00:33:43.259 --> 00:33:43.519
 one

00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:47.899
 remember

00:33:47.899 --> 00:33:48.319
 that the

00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:48.740
 gospel

00:33:48.740 --> 00:33:49.559
 shapes you

00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:50.119
 to be

00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:51.000
 more your

00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:51.559
 true

00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:52.480
 unique

00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:53.319
 self

00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:55.000
 that's the

00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:55.299
 type of

00:33:55.299 --> 00:33:55.480
 thing

00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:55.879
 that's what

00:33:55.879 --> 00:33:56.139
 I meant

00:33:56.139 --> 00:33:56.399
 is the

00:33:56.399 --> 00:33:56.919
 transition

00:33:56.919 --> 00:33:59.119
 I don't

00:33:59.119 --> 00:33:59.319
 want to

00:33:59.319 --> 00:33:59.759
 sound really

00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:00.379
 judgmental

00:34:00.379 --> 00:34:00.879
 about this

00:34:00.879 --> 00:34:01.439
 but just

00:34:01.439 --> 00:34:01.819
 give me a

00:34:01.819 --> 00:34:02.240
 little tiny

00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:02.519
 bit of

00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:02.859
 grace

00:34:02.859 --> 00:34:05.019
 but here's

00:34:05.019 --> 00:34:05.399
 the thing

00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:06.620
 like you

00:34:06.620 --> 00:34:06.820
 know

00:34:06.820 --> 00:34:07.660
 when you're

00:34:07.660 --> 00:34:08.420
 if you're

00:34:08.420 --> 00:34:08.920
 in Jerusalem

00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:09.220
 and you

00:34:09.220 --> 00:34:09.639
 see a lot

00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:10.119
 of ultra

00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:10.680
 orthodox

00:34:10.680 --> 00:34:11.180
 Jews

00:34:11.180 --> 00:34:12.380
 all dressed

00:34:12.380 --> 00:34:13.119
 the same

00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:14.200
 well I mean

00:34:14.200 --> 00:34:14.880
 there's like

00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:16.039
 50 types

00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:16.340
 of them

00:34:16.340 --> 00:34:16.840
 but those

00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:17.099
 who are in

00:34:17.099 --> 00:34:17.380
 the same

00:34:17.380 --> 00:34:17.639
 type

00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:17.960
 they're all

00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:18.440
 dressed the

00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:18.599
 same

00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:18.960
 they almost

00:34:18.960 --> 00:34:19.559
 become like

00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:19.960
 clones

00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:20.660
 they become

00:34:20.660 --> 00:34:21.619
 indistinguishable

00:34:21.619 --> 00:34:22.039
 from each

00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:22.260
 other

00:34:22.260 --> 00:34:23.360
 when you see

00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:23.980
 a poll of

00:34:23.980 --> 00:34:25.099
 very devout

00:34:25.099 --> 00:34:25.660
 Muslims

00:34:25.660 --> 00:34:26.559
 they start to

00:34:26.559 --> 00:34:27.280
 look almost

00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:27.960
 identical

00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:28.539
 it's hard

00:34:28.539 --> 00:34:29.280
 to understand

00:34:29.280 --> 00:34:29.480
 them

00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:30.079
 if you get

00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:31.059
 a group

00:34:31.059 --> 00:34:31.500
 of very

00:34:31.500 --> 00:34:31.860
 very

00:34:31.860 --> 00:34:32.260
 like

00:34:32.260 --> 00:34:33.000
 you know

00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:33.519
 religious

00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:34.280
 Catholics

00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:35.139
 or Anglicans

00:34:35.139 --> 00:34:35.659
 and you see

00:34:35.659 --> 00:34:36.179
 the priests

00:34:36.179 --> 00:34:37.059
 and you'll

00:34:37.059 --> 00:34:37.359
 see that

00:34:37.359 --> 00:34:37.659
 they're all

00:34:37.659 --> 00:34:38.099
 dressed in

00:34:38.099 --> 00:34:38.460
 identical

00:34:38.460 --> 00:34:39.239
 black suits

00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:39.879
 and very

00:34:39.879 --> 00:34:40.279
 similar

00:34:40.279 --> 00:34:40.779
 haircuts

00:34:40.779 --> 00:34:41.279
 and they

00:34:41.279 --> 00:34:41.980
 look like

00:34:41.980 --> 00:34:42.779
 indistinguishable

00:34:42.779 --> 00:34:43.199
 from each

00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:43.420
 other

00:34:43.420 --> 00:34:44.400
 and it's

00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:45.259
 hard to

00:34:45.259 --> 00:34:45.719
 not sort

00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:46.000
 of think

00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:46.339
 that's what

00:34:46.339 --> 00:34:47.079
 religion does

00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:47.400
 that's what

00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:47.799
 spirituality

00:34:47.799 --> 00:34:48.239
 does

00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:49.940
 it forces

00:34:49.940 --> 00:34:50.420
 you to

00:34:50.420 --> 00:34:51.119
 work on

00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:51.819
 externals

00:34:51.819 --> 00:34:52.480
 and end up

00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:52.900
 looking the

00:34:52.900 --> 00:34:53.119
 same

00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:53.839
 but one of

00:34:53.839 --> 00:34:54.059
 the things

00:34:54.059 --> 00:34:54.519
 which is so

00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:54.779
 wonderful

00:34:54.779 --> 00:34:55.179
 about all

00:34:55.179 --> 00:34:55.819
 these stories

00:34:55.819 --> 00:34:56.379
 is that

00:34:56.379 --> 00:34:57.460
 when Mary

00:34:57.460 --> 00:34:58.400
 Magdalene

00:34:58.400 --> 00:34:58.920
 meets the

00:34:58.920 --> 00:34:59.339
 resurrected

00:34:59.339 --> 00:34:59.739
 Jesus

00:34:59.739 --> 00:35:00.500
 she responds

00:35:00.500 --> 00:35:01.079
 one way

00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:02.460
 when Peter

00:35:02.460 --> 00:35:02.920
 meets the

00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:03.319
 resurrected

00:35:03.319 --> 00:35:03.719
 Jesus

00:35:03.719 --> 00:35:04.759
 he responds

00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:05.180
 a different

00:35:05.180 --> 00:35:05.440
 way

00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:06.620
 when John

00:35:06.620 --> 00:35:07.320
 meets the

00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:07.700
 resurrected

00:35:07.700 --> 00:35:08.120
 Jesus

00:35:08.120 --> 00:35:09.660
 he reacts

00:35:09.660 --> 00:35:10.360
 a different

00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:10.640
 way

00:35:10.640 --> 00:35:11.560
 it reflects

00:35:11.560 --> 00:35:12.540
 their personality

00:35:12.540 --> 00:35:13.660
 and Jesus

00:35:13.660 --> 00:35:14.260
 doesn't say

00:35:14.260 --> 00:35:14.840
 by the way

00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:15.760
 just time out

00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:16.820
 Peter gets

00:35:16.820 --> 00:35:17.520
 an A plus

00:35:17.520 --> 00:35:18.920
 Mary Magdalene

00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:20.160
 gets an A minus

00:35:20.160 --> 00:35:21.120
 and John

00:35:21.120 --> 00:35:23.060
 get off your

00:35:23.060 --> 00:35:23.960
 butt dude

00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:25.180
 you only get

00:35:25.180 --> 00:35:26.020
 like a B minus

00:35:26.020 --> 00:35:26.760
 no he doesn't

00:35:26.760 --> 00:35:27.240
 do that

00:35:27.240 --> 00:35:29.200
 they're all

00:35:29.200 --> 00:35:30.080
 completely and

00:35:30.080 --> 00:35:30.340
 utterly

00:35:30.340 --> 00:35:31.160
 themselves

00:35:31.160 --> 00:35:33.180
 Mary

00:35:33.180 --> 00:35:35.320
 passionate

00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:37.400
 just

00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:38.940
 passionate

00:35:38.940 --> 00:35:41.300
 and public

00:35:41.300 --> 00:35:42.579
 and Peter

00:35:42.579 --> 00:35:44.059
 let's go

00:35:44.059 --> 00:35:44.640
 take that

00:35:44.640 --> 00:35:45.000
 hill

00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:46.660
 and John

00:35:46.660 --> 00:35:48.460
 let's just

00:35:48.460 --> 00:35:49.039
 think about it

00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:49.500
 for a bit

00:35:49.500 --> 00:35:52.019
 and those

00:35:52.019 --> 00:35:52.340
 are all

00:35:52.340 --> 00:35:52.860
 fine

00:35:52.860 --> 00:35:54.019
 and even

00:35:54.019 --> 00:35:54.440
 the different

00:35:54.440 --> 00:35:54.800
 ways the

00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:55.200
 disciples

00:35:55.200 --> 00:35:55.960
 respond to

00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:56.260
 Jesus

00:35:56.260 --> 00:35:56.700
 when it's

00:35:56.700 --> 00:35:57.039
 just the

00:35:57.039 --> 00:35:58.019
 ten of

00:35:58.019 --> 00:35:58.260
 them the

00:35:58.260 --> 00:35:58.800
 first time

00:35:58.800 --> 00:35:59.740
 they're all

00:35:59.740 --> 00:36:00.220
 glad

00:36:00.220 --> 00:36:00.620
 they're all

00:36:00.620 --> 00:36:01.060
 giving each

00:36:01.060 --> 00:36:01.600
 other high

00:36:01.600 --> 00:36:01.960
 fives

00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:02.420
 they're giving

00:36:02.420 --> 00:36:03.260
 Jesus high

00:36:03.260 --> 00:36:03.600
 fives

00:36:03.600 --> 00:36:04.220
 they're jumping

00:36:04.220 --> 00:36:04.640
 up and

00:36:04.640 --> 00:36:04.980
 down

00:36:04.980 --> 00:36:05.860
 and in this

00:36:05.860 --> 00:36:06.300
 particular

00:36:06.300 --> 00:36:06.900
 case

00:36:06.900 --> 00:36:08.900
 here's what

00:36:08.900 --> 00:36:09.520
 this is

00:36:09.520 --> 00:36:10.200
 describing

00:36:10.200 --> 00:36:11.800
 a group

00:36:11.800 --> 00:36:12.480
 of guys

00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:13.480
 who've worked

00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:14.220
 hard all

00:36:14.220 --> 00:36:14.740
 night

00:36:14.740 --> 00:36:16.680
 and they're

00:36:16.680 --> 00:36:17.160
 in a beautiful

00:36:17.160 --> 00:36:17.680
 lake

00:36:17.680 --> 00:36:18.920
 it's the early

00:36:18.920 --> 00:36:19.460
 part of the

00:36:19.460 --> 00:36:19.760
 morning

00:36:19.760 --> 00:36:20.920
 and they're

00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:21.560
 sitting there

00:36:21.560 --> 00:36:22.060
 and they have

00:36:22.060 --> 00:36:23.660
 153 big

00:36:23.660 --> 00:36:24.080
 fish

00:36:24.080 --> 00:36:25.200
 they made a

00:36:25.200 --> 00:36:25.880
 lot of money

00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:26.320
 from that

00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:27.020
 hard work

00:36:27.019 --> 00:36:28.920
 and there's

00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:29.460
 a wonderful

00:36:29.460 --> 00:36:30.420
 fire on the

00:36:30.420 --> 00:36:30.840
 beach

00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:31.900
 beginning of

00:36:31.900 --> 00:36:32.380
 the day

00:36:32.380 --> 00:36:33.420
 it's cool

00:36:33.420 --> 00:36:35.360
 there's some

00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:36.300
 fresh fish

00:36:36.300 --> 00:36:37.059
 being cooked

00:36:37.059 --> 00:36:37.920
 perfectly

00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:39.519
 some fresh

00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:40.059
 bread

00:36:40.059 --> 00:36:40.780
 you're with

00:36:40.780 --> 00:36:41.360
 your buddies

00:36:41.360 --> 00:36:44.300
 and they're

00:36:44.300 --> 00:36:45.000
 just quiet

00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:45.960
 you know why

00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:47.539
 it doesn't get

00:36:47.539 --> 00:36:47.960
 any better

00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:48.619
 than this

00:36:48.619 --> 00:36:50.840
 those of you

00:36:50.840 --> 00:36:51.320
 who love the

00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:51.739
 outdoors

00:36:51.739 --> 00:36:52.280
 and love to

00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:52.579
 fish

00:36:52.579 --> 00:36:54.000
 it doesn't

00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:54.420
 get any

00:36:54.420 --> 00:36:55.000
 better than

00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:55.400
 this

00:36:55.400 --> 00:36:56.800
 the sweat

00:36:56.800 --> 00:36:57.300
 drying

00:36:57.300 --> 00:36:59.260
 you're just

00:36:59.260 --> 00:36:59.740
 quiet

00:36:59.740 --> 00:37:03.680
 and that's

00:37:03.680 --> 00:37:04.180
 good too

00:37:04.180 --> 00:37:06.760
 that's

00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:07.260
 good too

00:37:07.260 --> 00:37:08.559
 Jesus doesn't

00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:09.019
 say that's

00:37:09.019 --> 00:37:09.360
 better than

00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:09.599
 the other

00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:09.720
 way

00:37:09.720 --> 00:37:09.980
 he doesn't

00:37:09.980 --> 00:37:10.340
 say there's

00:37:10.340 --> 00:37:10.720
 one way

00:37:10.720 --> 00:37:10.940
 that you

00:37:10.940 --> 00:37:11.260
 have to

00:37:11.260 --> 00:37:11.760
 behave

00:37:11.760 --> 00:37:13.119
 he brings

00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:13.500
 out your

00:37:13.500 --> 00:37:14.059
 uniqueness

00:37:14.059 --> 00:37:14.860
 it's the

00:37:14.860 --> 00:37:15.480
 opposite of

00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:15.920
 religion

00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:18.880
 and

00:37:18.880 --> 00:37:19.579
 can you

00:37:19.579 --> 00:37:19.780
 put up

00:37:19.780 --> 00:37:20.059
 the next

00:37:20.059 --> 00:37:20.420
 point

00:37:20.420 --> 00:37:22.360
 so

00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:23.180
 some of

00:37:23.180 --> 00:37:23.480
 you might

00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:23.680
 say

00:37:23.680 --> 00:37:23.860
 well

00:37:23.860 --> 00:37:24.180
 okay

00:37:24.180 --> 00:37:24.460
 George

00:37:24.460 --> 00:37:26.760
 I'm a

00:37:26.760 --> 00:37:40.980
 little bit

00:37:40.980 --> 00:37:41.699
 you might

00:37:41.699 --> 00:37:43.400
 remember

00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:44.400
 that the

00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:44.880
 gospel

00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:46.460
 shapes you

00:37:46.460 --> 00:37:47.039
 to enjoy

00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:47.519
 simple

00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:47.980
 pleasures

00:37:47.980 --> 00:37:49.699
 work well

00:37:49.699 --> 00:37:50.240
 in honest

00:37:50.240 --> 00:37:50.659
 labor

00:37:50.659 --> 00:37:52.159
 and enjoy

00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:52.480
 being

00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:53.000
 generous

00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:54.240
 see that's

00:37:54.240 --> 00:37:54.400
 one of

00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:54.659
 the things

00:37:54.659 --> 00:37:54.960
 which is

00:37:54.960 --> 00:37:55.539
 so wonderful

00:37:55.539 --> 00:37:56.139
 about that

00:37:56.139 --> 00:37:56.559
 like many

00:37:56.559 --> 00:37:56.940
 of us

00:37:56.940 --> 00:37:57.719
 many people

00:37:57.719 --> 00:37:58.260
 think that if

00:37:58.260 --> 00:37:58.740
 you become a

00:37:58.740 --> 00:37:59.219
 Christian you

00:37:59.219 --> 00:37:59.740
 have to walk

00:37:59.740 --> 00:38:00.159
 away from

00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:00.940
 simple pleasures

00:38:00.940 --> 00:38:02.380
 like real

00:38:02.380 --> 00:38:03.019
 Christians

00:38:03.019 --> 00:38:04.619
 real Christians

00:38:04.619 --> 00:38:05.639
 just eat

00:38:05.639 --> 00:38:07.019
 steamed kale

00:38:07.019 --> 00:38:08.519
 and quinoa

00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:10.320
 and give all

00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:10.980
 and have no

00:38:10.980 --> 00:38:11.960
 butter on it

00:38:11.960 --> 00:38:13.940
 because butter

00:38:13.940 --> 00:38:14.659
 is sinful

00:38:14.659 --> 00:38:15.679
 and no

00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:16.480
 olive oil

00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:17.240
 it's just

00:38:17.240 --> 00:38:17.900
 plain

00:38:17.900 --> 00:38:18.920
 and maybe

00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:20.320
 some bread

00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:21.880
 preferably dry

00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:22.640
 and the

00:38:22.640 --> 00:38:23.200
 rest of the

00:38:23.200 --> 00:38:23.880
 money goes

00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:24.220
 to the

00:38:24.220 --> 00:38:24.900
 mission field

00:38:24.900 --> 00:38:25.340
 or something

00:38:25.340 --> 00:38:25.880
 that's what

00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:26.559
 real Christians

00:38:26.559 --> 00:38:26.980
 are like

00:38:26.980 --> 00:38:27.580
 no that's

00:38:27.580 --> 00:38:27.800
 not what

00:38:27.800 --> 00:38:28.240
 this text

00:38:28.240 --> 00:38:28.740
 shows

00:38:28.740 --> 00:38:30.940
 that real

00:38:30.940 --> 00:38:31.380
 Christians

00:38:31.380 --> 00:38:31.980
 never have

00:38:31.980 --> 00:38:32.559
 seconds or

00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:32.840
 thirds

00:38:32.840 --> 00:38:33.300
 do you think

00:38:33.300 --> 00:38:33.620
 in this

00:38:33.620 --> 00:38:34.140
 story if

00:38:34.140 --> 00:38:34.460
 one of the

00:38:34.460 --> 00:38:35.059
 disciples said

00:38:35.059 --> 00:38:35.600
 Jesus I'm

00:38:35.600 --> 00:38:36.160
 really famished

00:38:36.160 --> 00:38:36.500
 could I have

00:38:36.500 --> 00:38:36.820
 seconds

00:38:36.820 --> 00:38:37.160
 do you think

00:38:37.160 --> 00:38:37.360
 he'd say

00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:38.400
 no way

00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:40.100
 come on

00:38:40.100 --> 00:38:42.500
 do you think

00:38:42.500 --> 00:38:43.019
 the fish would

00:38:43.019 --> 00:38:43.580
 taste good

00:38:43.580 --> 00:38:45.019
 by the way

00:38:45.019 --> 00:38:46.100
 anybody who's

00:38:46.100 --> 00:38:46.720
 gone fishing

00:38:46.720 --> 00:38:47.320
 and it's an

00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:48.140
 early morning

00:38:48.139 --> 00:38:48.960
 fresh fish

00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:49.400
 on the

00:38:49.400 --> 00:38:49.799
 fire

00:38:49.799 --> 00:38:50.579
 right hot

00:38:50.579 --> 00:38:51.759
 it's delicious

00:38:51.759 --> 00:38:52.920
 can't get

00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:53.339
 better than

00:38:53.339 --> 00:38:53.619
 that

00:38:53.619 --> 00:38:55.779
 and there's

00:38:55.779 --> 00:38:56.420
 simple pleasures

00:38:56.420 --> 00:38:57.799
 Jesus dignifies

00:38:57.799 --> 00:38:58.900
 simple pleasures

00:38:58.900 --> 00:39:00.759
 and he dignifies

00:39:00.759 --> 00:39:01.679
 honest labor

00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:02.579
 those of you

00:39:02.579 --> 00:39:03.099
 in private

00:39:03.099 --> 00:39:03.579
 enterprise

00:39:03.579 --> 00:39:06.019
 Jesus is

00:39:06.019 --> 00:39:06.559
 with you

00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:08.440
 I mean

00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:08.839
 what do you

00:39:08.839 --> 00:39:09.359
 do in private

00:39:09.359 --> 00:39:09.759
 enterprise

00:39:09.759 --> 00:39:10.519
 like I'm

00:39:10.519 --> 00:39:10.839
 sure if

00:39:10.839 --> 00:39:11.339
 Shannon was

00:39:11.339 --> 00:39:11.739
 to talk

00:39:11.739 --> 00:39:12.000
 to you

00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:12.500
 they say

00:39:12.500 --> 00:39:12.759
 at the

00:39:12.759 --> 00:39:12.960
 end of

00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:13.199
 the day

00:39:13.199 --> 00:39:13.819
 the owners

00:39:13.819 --> 00:39:14.059
 of the

00:39:14.059 --> 00:39:14.599
 coffee shop

00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:16.599
 they total

00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:17.059
 up their

00:39:17.059 --> 00:39:17.639
 sales

00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:18.940
 you

00:39:18.940 --> 00:39:19.420
 counted

00:39:19.420 --> 00:39:20.900
 how did

00:39:20.900 --> 00:39:21.139
 they know

00:39:21.139 --> 00:39:21.319
 there were

00:39:21.319 --> 00:39:22.039
 153

00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:22.339
 fish

00:39:22.339 --> 00:39:22.639
 is it

00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:23.019
 beyond

00:39:23.019 --> 00:39:23.599
 the

00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:24.139
 possibility

00:39:24.139 --> 00:39:24.679
 that either

00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:25.559
 Jesus waited

00:39:25.559 --> 00:39:26.019
 while they

00:39:26.019 --> 00:39:26.379
 counted

00:39:26.379 --> 00:39:26.839
 with a big

00:39:26.839 --> 00:39:27.460
 smile on his

00:39:27.460 --> 00:39:27.699
 face

00:39:27.699 --> 00:39:28.179
 or he walked

00:39:28.179 --> 00:39:28.539
 over and

00:39:28.539 --> 00:39:28.940
 helped them

00:39:28.940 --> 00:39:29.379
 count

00:39:29.379 --> 00:39:33.359
 it matters

00:39:33.359 --> 00:39:34.599
 honest labor

00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:35.379
 matters

00:39:35.379 --> 00:39:37.599
 and it's

00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:37.920
 generous

00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:38.480
 what Jesus

00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:39.119
 does to

00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:39.519
 come

00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:40.119
 and you

00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:40.299
 know

00:39:40.299 --> 00:39:41.119
 if you're

00:39:41.119 --> 00:39:41.559
 thinking about

00:39:41.559 --> 00:39:42.119
 what Jesus

00:39:42.119 --> 00:39:42.559
 is like

00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:42.819
 and what

00:39:42.819 --> 00:39:43.259
 God is

00:39:43.259 --> 00:39:43.480
 like

00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:44.239
 later on

00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:44.500
 today

00:39:44.500 --> 00:39:44.819
 if you

00:39:44.819 --> 00:39:45.079
 go to

00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:45.420
 a Tim

00:39:45.420 --> 00:39:45.779
 Hortons

00:39:45.779 --> 00:39:46.019
 and you

00:39:46.019 --> 00:39:46.440
 see that

00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:47.400
 that person

00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:47.860
 working at

00:39:47.860 --> 00:39:48.340
 Tim Hortons

00:39:48.340 --> 00:39:48.680
 with the

00:39:48.680 --> 00:39:49.000
 ugly

00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:49.559
 clothes

00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:49.940
 and maybe

00:39:49.940 --> 00:39:50.500
 the ugly

00:39:50.500 --> 00:39:50.900
 cap

00:39:50.900 --> 00:39:51.420
 Jesus

00:39:51.420 --> 00:39:52.660
 did their

00:39:52.660 --> 00:39:53.200
 job

00:39:53.200 --> 00:39:53.860
 for you

00:39:53.860 --> 00:39:56.840
 he cooked

00:39:56.840 --> 00:39:57.420
 he prepared

00:39:57.420 --> 00:39:58.139
 he served

00:39:58.139 --> 00:39:59.619
 and it's

00:39:59.619 --> 00:40:00.139
 generous

00:40:00.139 --> 00:40:01.539
 he blesses

00:40:01.539 --> 00:40:02.740
 simple service

00:40:02.740 --> 00:40:03.960
 he blesses

00:40:03.960 --> 00:40:04.860
 generosity

00:40:04.860 --> 00:40:05.980
 so will the

00:40:05.980 --> 00:40:06.680
 gospel shape

00:40:06.680 --> 00:40:07.220
 you and change

00:40:07.220 --> 00:40:07.680
 you yes it

00:40:07.680 --> 00:40:08.160
 will in all

00:40:08.160 --> 00:40:08.780
 sorts of ways

00:40:08.780 --> 00:40:09.360
 that you can't

00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:09.860
 even begin

00:40:09.860 --> 00:40:10.300
 to go

00:40:10.300 --> 00:40:11.059
 you know

00:40:11.059 --> 00:40:11.480
 for those

00:40:11.480 --> 00:40:11.840
 of us

00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:12.119
 who are

00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:12.780
 unbelievably

00:40:12.780 --> 00:40:13.480
 fixated

00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:13.980
 about money

00:40:13.980 --> 00:40:14.700
 often when we

00:40:14.700 --> 00:40:15.220
 say the gospel

00:40:15.220 --> 00:40:15.840
 changes us

00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:16.380
 all we think

00:40:16.380 --> 00:40:17.039
 about is sex

00:40:17.039 --> 00:40:17.960
 it will make

00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:18.340
 a difference

00:40:18.340 --> 00:40:18.700
 in sex

00:40:18.700 --> 00:40:18.980
 but you know

00:40:18.980 --> 00:40:19.140
 what will

00:40:19.140 --> 00:40:19.380
 make it

00:40:19.380 --> 00:40:19.720
 other things

00:40:19.720 --> 00:40:20.440
 for those

00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:20.700
 of you

00:40:20.700 --> 00:40:20.900
 who are

00:40:20.900 --> 00:40:21.460
 unbelievably

00:40:21.460 --> 00:40:22.180
 tight-fisted

00:40:22.180 --> 00:40:22.559
 and worried

00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:23.000
 about money

00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:23.460
 the gospel

00:40:23.460 --> 00:40:23.860
 will start

00:40:23.860 --> 00:40:24.160
 to make

00:40:24.160 --> 00:40:24.720
 you generous

00:40:24.720 --> 00:40:26.059
 for those

00:40:26.059 --> 00:40:26.320
 of you

00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:26.960
 who struggle

00:40:26.960 --> 00:40:28.039
 with laziness

00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:28.500
 and think

00:40:28.500 --> 00:40:29.039
 you're entitled

00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:29.780
 as the gospel

00:40:29.780 --> 00:40:30.320
 grips you

00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:30.740
 it'll start

00:40:30.740 --> 00:40:31.160
 to make you

00:40:31.160 --> 00:40:31.559
 aware of the

00:40:31.559 --> 00:40:31.960
 fact that

00:40:31.960 --> 00:40:32.579
 honest labor

00:40:32.579 --> 00:40:33.099
 is good

00:40:33.099 --> 00:40:34.360
 for those

00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:34.599
 of you

00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:34.840
 who are

00:40:34.840 --> 00:40:35.760
 working holics

00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:37.000
 the gospel

00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:37.460
 will start

00:40:37.460 --> 00:40:37.960
 to shape

00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:38.220
 you to

00:40:38.220 --> 00:40:38.579
 realize

00:40:38.579 --> 00:40:39.320
 that actually

00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:39.780
 you don't

00:40:39.780 --> 00:40:40.140
 get your

00:40:40.140 --> 00:40:40.559
 identity

00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:41.460
 from your

00:40:41.460 --> 00:40:41.920
 work

00:40:41.920 --> 00:40:42.980
 that maybe

00:40:42.980 --> 00:40:43.240
 you have

00:40:43.240 --> 00:40:43.559
 to spend

00:40:43.559 --> 00:40:44.000
 some time

00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:44.500
 with Christian

00:40:44.500 --> 00:40:44.980
 friends or

00:40:44.980 --> 00:40:45.280
 with your

00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:45.699
 family

00:40:45.699 --> 00:40:46.139
 will the

00:40:46.139 --> 00:40:46.460
 gospel

00:40:46.460 --> 00:40:46.840
 change

00:40:46.840 --> 00:40:46.940
 you

00:40:46.940 --> 00:40:47.360
 the gospel

00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:47.820
 will change

00:40:47.820 --> 00:40:48.239
 you in all

00:40:48.239 --> 00:40:48.599
 sorts of

00:40:48.599 --> 00:40:49.039
 ways that you

00:40:49.039 --> 00:40:49.519
 can't even

00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:49.980
 begin to

00:40:49.980 --> 00:40:50.300
 imagine

00:40:50.300 --> 00:40:50.760
 but it will

00:40:50.760 --> 00:40:51.400
 shape you

00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:52.199
 towards

00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:52.860
 generosity

00:40:52.860 --> 00:40:53.420
 towards

00:40:53.420 --> 00:40:54.260
 honest labor

00:40:54.260 --> 00:40:54.920
 towards

00:40:54.920 --> 00:40:55.340
 enjoying

00:40:55.340 --> 00:40:55.739
 simple

00:40:55.739 --> 00:40:56.159
 pleasures

00:40:56.159 --> 00:40:58.099
 that's how

00:40:58.099 --> 00:40:58.559
 the gospel

00:40:58.559 --> 00:40:59.360
 shapes you

00:40:59.360 --> 00:41:01.619
 and just

00:41:01.619 --> 00:41:02.199
 one final

00:41:02.199 --> 00:41:02.719
 thing before

00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:03.420
 we close

00:41:03.420 --> 00:41:04.699
 and this

00:41:04.699 --> 00:41:05.300
 is one of

00:41:05.300 --> 00:41:05.579
 the things

00:41:05.579 --> 00:41:06.000
 that most

00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:06.440
 hit me

00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:07.579
 I pray

00:41:07.579 --> 00:41:09.199
 for non-Christian

00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:10.119
 friends and

00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:10.860
 family members

00:41:10.860 --> 00:41:11.179
 if you could

00:41:11.179 --> 00:41:11.699
 wrap the final

00:41:11.699 --> 00:41:12.079
 point

00:41:12.079 --> 00:41:13.119
 this has just

00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:13.760
 really struck

00:41:13.760 --> 00:41:14.199
 me here

00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:14.739
 this week

00:41:14.739 --> 00:41:15.199
 and it's

00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:15.559
 helped me

00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:15.939
 with my

00:41:15.939 --> 00:41:16.399
 prayer life

00:41:16.399 --> 00:41:16.599

00:41:16.599 --> 00:41:16.839
 just going

00:41:16.839 --> 00:41:17.119
 to share

00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:17.359
 it with

00:41:17.359 --> 00:41:17.480
 you

00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:17.639
 because

00:41:17.639 --> 00:41:18.019
 hopefully

00:41:18.019 --> 00:41:18.419
 it'll help

00:41:18.419 --> 00:41:18.659
 you with

00:41:18.659 --> 00:41:19.099

00:41:21.980 --> 00:41:23.399
 that Jesus

00:41:23.399 --> 00:41:24.119

 the heart

00:41:33.559 --> 00:41:34.000
