00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:04.980
 We have been going through the Beatitudes, one Beatitude at a time, one statement of

00:00:04.980 --> 00:00:08.720
 blessing and happiness at a time in Matthew chapter 5.

00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:16.059
 Today we are on the seventh Beatitude in verse 9, but I'll read verse 1 to 12.

00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:20.059
 But before I do that, let me pray for the reading and preaching of God's Word.

00:00:20.059 --> 00:00:37.079
 Heavenly Father, you are the God of peace, and you have made peace for us by the blood

00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:38.820
 of your only Son, Jesus Christ.

00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:49.060
 So Lord, make that reality, that peace that no one can take from us, grip our lives.

00:00:49.060 --> 00:00:51.219
 And change our hearts.

00:00:55.020 --> 00:01:03.300
 And even today, even this very moment, address us from your Word and by your Word, transform

00:01:03.300 --> 00:01:06.140
 us more and more to be peacemakers.

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:10.920
 We pray this in Jesus' name.

00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:12.000
 Amen.

00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:18.680
 Please stand if you're able to honor God as we read from his Word, Matthew 5, verses 1 to

00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:19.040
 12.

00:01:19.060 --> 00:01:20.060
 Amen.

00:01:20.060 --> 00:01:20.060


00:01:49.100 --> 00:01:51.500
 for they shall be satisfied.

00:01:51.500 --> 00:01:56.200
 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

00:01:56.980 --> 00:02:00.260
 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

00:02:01.060 --> 00:02:05.879
 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:12.460
 blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the kingdom

00:02:12.460 --> 00:02:18.939
 of heaven blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil

00:02:18.939 --> 00:02:25.219
 against you falsely on my account rejoice and be glad for your reward is great in heaven

00:02:25.219 --> 00:02:31.919
 for so they persecuted the prophets who are before you this is god's holy and authoritative word you

00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:45.299
 may be seated there has never been in a period there's never been a hit period in history in

00:02:45.299 --> 00:02:52.859
 recorded history at least that has been completely free of wars there have been periods of relative

00:02:52.859 --> 00:02:59.639
 peace and stability for example historians often talk about the Pax Romana the Roman peace between

00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:07.019
 27 BC and 180 CE when the Roman Empire dominated the world and enforced stability but even during

00:03:07.019 --> 00:03:14.199
 that time there were the Roman Parthian Wars and the many Jewish revolts that were brutally crushed and

00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:22.379
 suppressed by the Roman Empire some people point to the Pax Mongolica the Mongolian peace in the 13th and

00:03:22.379 --> 00:03:29.319
 14th centuries when Genghis Khan's conquest and the ensuing domination of the Mongolian Empire enforced

00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:43.319
 peace along the peace along the Silk Road but even during that time there was the Mongolian invasion of Japan and the extended war against the Mamluks in the Middle East and that's not even counting the civil wars within the Mongolian Empire

00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:56.319
 some people point to the heyday of the the British Empire the Pax Britannica but even during that time there was the war against China the opium wars against China the Crimean War against Russia

00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:00.079
 and of course American Civil War against Russia and of course American Civil War was happening during that time

00:04:00.079 --> 00:04:18.319
 we haven't yet had a World War III but the world has still been plagued by wars the Vietnam War Korean War Soviet African War the numerous Arab Israeli wars the Gulf War Iraq War Rwandan genocide civil war

00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:32.319
 second Congo war Chinese Civil War and the ongoing Russo Ukrainian war and I'm just scratching the surface of the wars that have taken place

00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:42.159
 there has never been a period in recorded human history that has been free of wars and that is no exaggeration

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:56.960
 but why nobody claims to want war and everybody claims to want peace so why can't we have peace

00:04:56.960 --> 00:05:05.680
 we find God's answer and solution in the seventh beatitude blessed are the peacemakers

00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:20.639
 for they shall be called sons of God ultimately this passage teaches us that we are peacemakers because our heavenly father has made peace with us in Jesus Christ

00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:32.639
 and I'm going to talk about that first by defining what peace is and then we'll talk about peacemaking what that entails and then we'll finally talk about the prince of peace who enables us to have peace

00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:40.800
 we all know that peace is the opposite of war and the Bible often makes that contrast and uses that contrast

00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:46.779
 when there is peace there is an absence of conflict absence of strife

00:05:46.779 --> 00:05:53.199
 but peace in biblical terms is also more than that it's deeper than simply an absence of conflict

00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:59.219
 for example in Genesis 43 27 when Joseph meets his brothers who come to Egypt to buy grain

00:05:59.220 --> 00:06:09.380
 it says that he inquired about their welfare and said is your father well the old man of whom you spoke is he still alive

00:06:09.380 --> 00:06:14.780
 and in that questioning the word welfare is the same Hebrew word for peace

00:06:14.780 --> 00:06:21.920
 so peace is not just an absence of conflict but it can mean well-being wholeness welfare

00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:27.000
 it's the Hebrew word shalom which many of you have heard before

00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:34.879
 and this sense of well-being isn't merely about physical health and well-being either

00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:37.939
 it's about relational well-being

00:06:37.939 --> 00:06:44.720
 making covenant with someone in the Old Testament was often called making peace with someone

00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:49.360
 so if you have peace with somebody then you are in a right relationship with that person

00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:55.240
 and in that sense peace is different from a mere truce or a ceasefire

00:06:55.240 --> 00:07:00.400
 because even when there is no open fire or open conflict

00:07:00.400 --> 00:07:06.400
 the relationship between peoples and nations can be deeply disturbed and disordered

00:07:06.400 --> 00:07:11.939
 for example think about the Korean War which ended in 1953

00:07:11.939 --> 00:07:14.639
 with the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement

00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:19.620
 it divided Korea into two halves North and South Korea

00:07:19.620 --> 00:07:24.459
 and then it established a demilitarized zone in the middle along the 38th parallel

00:07:24.459 --> 00:07:26.740
 but is that peace?

00:07:29.060 --> 00:07:30.360
 there is no peace

00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:32.879
 they are still divided

00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:35.120
 they are still enemies

00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:38.079
 there is still hostility between the two nations

00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:38.800
 they are still

00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:41.439
 they are waging a war of propaganda

00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:42.600
 and posturing

00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:45.199
 they are building up their respective militaries

00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:46.920
 and securing themselves against the other

00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.500
 it's merely a frozen conflict

00:07:49.500 --> 00:07:51.480
 it's a cold war

00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.480
 but it's a war nonetheless

00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:55.259
 there is no peace

00:07:55.259 --> 00:08:00.519
 Israel and Hamas currently have a truce in place

00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:02.300
 actually may have just expired today

00:08:02.300 --> 00:08:04.199
 I forget exactly when it expires

00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:05.959
 but that's no peace either

00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.439
 war threatens to break out any minute

00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:14.800
 peace goes deeper than a mere truce or a ceasefire

00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:17.219
 it entails right relationship

00:08:17.219 --> 00:08:18.540
 restoration

00:08:18.540 --> 00:08:19.819
 reconciliation

00:08:19.819 --> 00:08:26.300
 and the most important peace that the Bible speaks of is peace with God

00:08:26.300 --> 00:08:31.199
 God himself says of his people in Ezekiel 34 25

00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:34.360
 I will make with them a covenant of peace

00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:36.519
 Isaiah 54 10 says

00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.279
 my steadfast love shall not depart from you

00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:42.600
 and my covenant of peace shall not be removed

00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:44.639
 to have peace with God then

00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:46.460
 is to be in right relationship with him

00:08:46.460 --> 00:08:48.899
 to have a covenant with him

00:08:48.899 --> 00:08:50.639
 and to have his loyal

00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:51.500
 steadfast

00:08:51.500 --> 00:08:53.779
 covenantal love upon us

00:08:53.779 --> 00:08:55.819
 to have peace then

00:08:55.819 --> 00:08:57.539
 in a full biblical sense

00:08:57.539 --> 00:09:00.539
 is to fit into God's order and plan

00:09:00.539 --> 00:09:02.860
 to be restored to wholeness

00:09:02.860 --> 00:09:04.360
 and right relationship with him

00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:07.379
 and it's only through that restored relationship

00:09:07.379 --> 00:09:08.440
 vertically with God

00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:10.180
 that there can be restored relationship

00:09:10.180 --> 00:09:12.120
 horizontally with others

00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:16.639
 it's a peace ultimately that comes from God

00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:18.759
 the peace that can only be attained

00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:20.800
 with God's help

00:09:20.800 --> 00:09:24.100
 and therefore is impossible to attain apart from him

00:09:24.100 --> 00:09:29.000
 that's why God is often called the God of peace

00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:30.320
 or the Lord of peace

00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:32.260
 and when Gideon builds an altar

00:09:32.260 --> 00:09:34.140
 to honor him and to worship him

00:09:34.140 --> 00:09:35.140
 he calls that altar

00:09:35.140 --> 00:09:37.000
 the Lord is peace

00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:38.820
 in Judges 6 24

00:09:38.820 --> 00:09:41.320
 and that's why the fruit of the spirit

00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:42.920
 and you guys know

00:09:42.920 --> 00:09:43.840
 is love

00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:44.940
 joy

00:09:44.940 --> 00:09:47.040
 peace

00:09:47.040 --> 00:09:52.280
 this is not a natural attribute

00:09:52.280 --> 00:09:55.140
 or a temperament

00:09:55.140 --> 00:09:57.120
 or an aspect of personality

00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:58.860
 that we have

00:09:58.860 --> 00:09:59.840
 naturally

00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:01.200
 this is something that is

00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:02.560
 spirit given

00:10:02.560 --> 00:10:03.500
 God given

00:10:03.500 --> 00:10:05.139
 spirit born fruit

00:10:05.139 --> 00:10:07.720
 that marks the born again Christian

00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:09.759
 that's what all of these beatitudes are

00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.159
 our understanding of peace

00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:14.820
 has implications for how we understand

00:10:14.820 --> 00:10:16.500
 what it means to be a peacemaker

00:10:16.500 --> 00:10:20.240
 first let's talk about what peacemaking is not

00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.460
 and then secondly we'll talk about what peacemaking is

00:10:22.460 --> 00:10:26.320
 since peace is more than a simple absence of conflict

00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:29.440
 but having your life rightly ordered before God

00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:31.879
 and being in restored to right relationship with him

00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:34.800
 peacemaking is not merely avoiding conflict

00:10:34.800 --> 00:10:38.660
 some people are naturally easygoing

00:10:38.660 --> 00:10:42.100
 and they are conflict averse

00:10:42.100 --> 00:10:45.480
 I think we have a lot of those in our church

00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:49.480
 I don't know if that's Cambridge or something else

00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:54.280
 but that doesn't necessarily make us peacemakers

00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:58.779
 if you seek peace at any price

00:10:58.779 --> 00:11:04.519
 then you're eventually going to pay a price that's too high for you to pay

00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:09.319
 British Prime Minister

00:11:09.319 --> 00:11:11.399
 Neville Chamberlain

00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.459
 is a famous example of this

00:11:13.459 --> 00:11:15.220
 in 1938

00:11:15.220 --> 00:11:18.339
 Nazi Germany invaded Czechoslovakia

00:11:18.339 --> 00:11:22.019
 France at the time had an alliance with the Czech Republic

00:11:22.019 --> 00:11:23.460
 that they were obligated to honor

00:11:23.460 --> 00:11:25.480
 they should have come to their aid

00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:29.319
 however along with Neville Chamberlain

00:11:29.319 --> 00:11:30.419
 the British Prime Minister

00:11:30.419 --> 00:11:32.220
 and the French leaders

00:11:32.220 --> 00:11:34.399
 they decided to appease Adolf Hitler

00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:37.360
 by formally requesting that Czechoslovakia

00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:39.799
 cede the territory that Germany had seized

00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:42.480
 and powerless to do anything else

00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:45.519
 they did cede that territory to Germany

00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:48.220
 and that agreement is called the Munich Agreement

00:11:48.220 --> 00:11:50.720
 but the Czechs call it the Munich Betrayal

00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.940
 did they keep a semblance of peace?

00:11:56.060 --> 00:11:56.860
 yes they did

00:11:56.860 --> 00:12:00.279
 but it was a peace built on injustice

00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:06.700
 and is it any wonder why that peace didn't last?

00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:12.360
 Adolf Hitler was emboldened by the cowardice of the European leaders

00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:14.300
 and then proceeded to invade Poland

00:12:14.300 --> 00:12:17.120
 in 1939 starting World War II

00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:22.779
 and World War II didn't end

00:12:22.779 --> 00:12:25.860
 until Neville Chamberlain was replaced

00:12:25.860 --> 00:12:27.320
 by someone with more backbone

00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:29.500
 you may have heard of Winston Churchill

00:12:29.500 --> 00:12:34.360
 if we subvert righteousness

00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.560
 in the name of so-called peace

00:12:37.560 --> 00:12:41.100
 then we are peace fakers

00:12:41.100 --> 00:12:43.860
 not peacemakers

00:12:43.860 --> 00:12:47.899
 that makes us appeasers

00:12:47.899 --> 00:12:52.659
 in Jeremiah 6 14 to 15

00:12:52.659 --> 00:12:54.560
 God denounces the false prophets

00:12:54.560 --> 00:12:56.220
 and false peacemakers of Israel

00:12:56.220 --> 00:12:58.560
 because they condoned the people's idolatry

00:12:58.560 --> 00:12:59.940
 their sins against God

00:12:59.940 --> 00:13:02.440
 and then yet they promised peace

00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:04.640
 God's not going to judge you

00:13:04.640 --> 00:13:05.340
 don't worry

00:13:05.340 --> 00:13:07.200
 you'll have peace in the future

00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.340
 and God denounces them

00:13:10.340 --> 00:13:11.000
 and rejects them

00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:11.860
 and says this about them

00:13:11.860 --> 00:13:13.900
 they have healed the wound of my people

00:13:13.900 --> 00:13:14.840
 lightly saying

00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:16.600
 peace peace

00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:19.140
 when there is no peace

00:13:19.140 --> 00:13:23.380
 you cannot have true peace

00:13:23.380 --> 00:13:25.660
 if you are forsaking the kingdom of God

00:13:25.660 --> 00:13:28.200
 if you're forsaking the righteousness of God

00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:30.780
 how can an idolatrous people

00:13:30.780 --> 00:13:32.240
 have peace with God?

00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:38.380
 contrast those false prophets

00:13:38.380 --> 00:13:41.780
 with Jehu in 2 Kings 9 17 to 22

00:13:41.780 --> 00:13:44.060
 Jehu is anointed to be king

00:13:44.060 --> 00:13:46.340
 by an emissary of prophet Elisha

00:13:46.340 --> 00:13:49.540
 and he is anointed by God

00:13:49.540 --> 00:13:51.060
 to go and avenge the blood

00:13:51.060 --> 00:13:52.200
 of his prophets and servants

00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:53.620
 whom Jezebel and Ahab

00:13:53.620 --> 00:13:54.820
 and their household killed

00:13:54.820 --> 00:13:57.780
 and so Jehu is riding furiously

00:13:57.780 --> 00:13:58.540
 on his chariot

00:13:58.540 --> 00:14:00.620
 going to exact vengeance

00:14:00.620 --> 00:14:03.039
 on Jehu's

00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:03.899
 sorry

00:14:03.899 --> 00:14:05.500
 on Jezebel's son

00:14:05.500 --> 00:14:06.560
 Joram

00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:07.500
 King Joram

00:14:07.500 --> 00:14:08.579
 Queen Mother Jezebel

00:14:08.579 --> 00:14:09.979
 was still alive at this time

00:14:09.979 --> 00:14:13.439
 and as he is riding to the palace

00:14:13.439 --> 00:14:15.399
 these messengers come out

00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:16.559
 repeatedly asking him

00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:18.279
 tell us Jehu

00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:19.039
 is it peace?

00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:19.179
 peace?

00:14:22.179 --> 00:14:23.639
 and then he keeps going

00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:24.459
 he doesn't stop

00:14:24.459 --> 00:14:26.299
 eventually he gets to King Joram

00:14:26.299 --> 00:14:27.639
 and King Joram asks him

00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:29.199
 is it peace Jehu?

00:14:30.659 --> 00:14:32.039
 and then Jehu tells him

00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:34.179
 what peace can there be

00:14:34.179 --> 00:14:35.980
 so long as the hoardings

00:14:35.980 --> 00:14:36.860
 and the sorceries

00:14:36.860 --> 00:14:37.899
 of your mother Jezebel

00:14:37.899 --> 00:14:38.819
 are so many

00:14:38.820 --> 00:14:43.080
 there can be no peace

00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:44.960
 in the presence of idolatry

00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:45.820
 and wickedness

00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:48.379
 peace at the expense

00:14:48.379 --> 00:14:49.660
 of truth and justice

00:14:49.660 --> 00:14:50.740
 is not peace

00:14:50.740 --> 00:14:52.080
 it's compromise

00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:55.660
 the idols must be struck down

00:14:55.660 --> 00:14:57.560
 and righteousness must reign

00:14:57.560 --> 00:14:59.740
 then and only then

00:14:59.740 --> 00:15:01.540
 can we have true peace

00:15:01.540 --> 00:15:05.640
 this explains the tension

00:15:05.640 --> 00:15:07.100
 we see in Jesus' person

00:15:07.100 --> 00:15:07.860
 and message

00:15:07.860 --> 00:15:08.980
 on the one hand

00:15:08.980 --> 00:15:09.840
 we see repeatedly

00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:11.100
 the New Testament telling us

00:15:11.100 --> 00:15:12.220
 that Jesus came to earth

00:15:12.220 --> 00:15:13.240
 to bring peace

00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:15.519
 at his birth

00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:16.379
 the angels announced

00:15:16.379 --> 00:15:17.940
 glory in the highest

00:15:17.940 --> 00:15:19.360
 and peace on earth

00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:20.740
 to those with whom

00:15:20.740 --> 00:15:21.899
 God is pleased

00:15:21.899 --> 00:15:23.639
 as he enters Jerusalem

00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:24.740
 in Luke 19 42

00:15:24.740 --> 00:15:25.680
 Jesus weeps over

00:15:25.680 --> 00:15:26.920
 this unrepentant city

00:15:26.920 --> 00:15:27.360
 saying

00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:28.519
 would that you

00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:29.080
 even you

00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:30.379
 had known on this day

00:15:30.379 --> 00:15:31.519
 the things that make

00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:32.700
 for peace

00:15:32.700 --> 00:15:34.139
 but now they are hidden

00:15:34.139 --> 00:15:34.920
 from your eyes

00:15:34.920 --> 00:15:36.759
 bringing peace was

00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:37.740
 Jesus' mission

00:15:37.740 --> 00:15:38.980
 and so he says

00:15:38.980 --> 00:15:39.559
 to his disciples

00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:40.600
 in John 14 27

00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:41.960
 peace I leave with you

00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:43.620
 my peace I give to you

00:15:43.620 --> 00:15:45.080
 not as the world gives

00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:46.019
 do I give to you

00:15:46.019 --> 00:15:47.519
 let not your hearts

00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:48.019
 be troubled

00:15:48.019 --> 00:15:49.480
 neither let them be afraid

00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:51.939
 so Jesus came to bring peace

00:15:51.939 --> 00:15:53.519
 but on the other hand

00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:54.879
 Jesus has this to say

00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:56.899
 in Matthew 10 34 to 37

00:15:56.899 --> 00:15:58.799
 do not think that I have come

00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:00.539
 to bring peace to the earth

00:16:00.539 --> 00:16:02.580
 I have not come to bring peace

00:16:02.580 --> 00:16:03.360
 but a sword

00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:04.740
 for I have come

00:16:04.740 --> 00:16:05.720
 to set a man

00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:06.720
 against his father

00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:07.300
 and a daughter

00:16:07.300 --> 00:16:08.280
 against her mother

00:16:08.280 --> 00:16:09.259
 and a daughter-in-law

00:16:09.259 --> 00:16:10.500
 against her mother-in-law

00:16:10.500 --> 00:16:12.120
 and a person's enemies

00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:12.920
 will be those

00:16:12.920 --> 00:16:14.020
 of his own household

00:16:14.020 --> 00:16:15.639
 whoever loves father

00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:16.879
 or mother more than me

00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:18.259
 is not worthy of me

00:16:18.259 --> 00:16:19.660
 and whoever loves son

00:16:19.660 --> 00:16:20.700
 or daughter more than me

00:16:20.700 --> 00:16:22.060
 is not worthy of me

00:16:22.060 --> 00:16:24.560
 so which is it

00:16:24.560 --> 00:16:26.420
 did Jesus come to make peace

00:16:26.420 --> 00:16:27.840
 or to bring a sword

00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:29.720
 the answer is both

00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:32.139
 he brings the offer

00:16:32.139 --> 00:16:33.240
 of true peace

00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:35.620
 but if our family members

00:16:35.620 --> 00:16:36.540
 and friends

00:16:36.540 --> 00:16:38.240
 reject Jesus

00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:40.360
 then our ultimate allegiance

00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:41.899
 must be to him

00:16:41.899 --> 00:16:43.680
 and not to them

00:16:43.680 --> 00:16:47.460
 that creates a disturbance

00:16:47.460 --> 00:16:50.879
 it creates divisions

00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:52.759
 that's the sword

00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:53.920
 that Jesus is talking about

00:16:53.920 --> 00:16:57.600
 but if you try to keep peace

00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:59.379
 at the expense of truth

00:16:59.379 --> 00:16:59.980
 than righteousness

00:16:59.980 --> 00:17:01.379
 then you're not making peace

00:17:01.379 --> 00:17:02.480
 you're just selling out

00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:06.859
 it is no coincidence

00:17:06.859 --> 00:17:07.859
 that the eighth beatitude

00:17:07.859 --> 00:17:08.799
 which comes after this

00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:09.619
 is blessed are those

00:17:09.619 --> 00:17:10.460
 who are persecuted

00:17:10.460 --> 00:17:11.859
 for the sake of righteousness

00:17:11.859 --> 00:17:15.720
 this is also why

00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:16.960
 the sixth beatitude

00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:18.119
 precedes this one

00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:20.259
 blessed are the pure in heart

00:17:20.259 --> 00:17:22.220
 for they shall see God

00:17:22.220 --> 00:17:23.839
 only after that

00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:24.680
 the purity of heart

00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:25.160
 do we get

00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:26.539
 blessed are the peacemakers

00:17:26.539 --> 00:17:27.859
 for they shall be called

00:17:27.859 --> 00:17:28.819
 sons of God

00:17:28.819 --> 00:17:31.720
 the importance of that order

00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:33.500
 is confirmed by James 3 17

00:17:33.500 --> 00:17:33.939
 which says

00:17:33.939 --> 00:17:34.919
 the wisdom from above

00:17:34.919 --> 00:17:36.619
 is first pure

00:17:36.619 --> 00:17:38.619
 then peaceable

00:17:38.619 --> 00:17:39.539
 gentle

00:17:39.539 --> 00:17:40.700
 open to reason

00:17:40.700 --> 00:17:43.980
 the wisdom of God

00:17:43.980 --> 00:17:45.419
 is first pure

00:17:45.419 --> 00:17:47.039
 then peaceable

00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:48.639
 and that order

00:17:48.639 --> 00:17:49.659
 is not incidental

00:17:49.659 --> 00:17:52.179
 it's only the pure in heart

00:17:52.179 --> 00:17:53.740
 who will one thing

00:17:53.740 --> 00:17:55.859
 who desire one thing

00:17:55.859 --> 00:17:57.279
 to please their Lord

00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:57.899
 their God

00:17:57.899 --> 00:17:59.479
 who can be true peacemakers

00:17:59.479 --> 00:18:02.159
 because if you're seeking

00:18:02.159 --> 00:18:03.079
 to please yourself

00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:04.039
 or if you're seeking

00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:05.079
 to please others

00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:06.519
 you will never have peace

00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:07.059
 in your life

00:18:07.059 --> 00:18:10.579
 if your first goal

00:18:10.579 --> 00:18:11.339
 is to keep peace

00:18:11.339 --> 00:18:11.959
 at all costs

00:18:11.959 --> 00:18:12.639
 you will never have

00:18:12.639 --> 00:18:13.240
 true peace

00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:16.519
 18th century theologian

00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:17.240
 Jonathan Edwards

00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:18.659
 explains this

00:18:18.659 --> 00:18:19.679
 in his book

00:18:19.679 --> 00:18:20.959
 The Nature of True Virtue

00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:22.700
 he says

00:18:22.700 --> 00:18:23.759
 private affection

00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:25.660
 if not subordinate

00:18:25.660 --> 00:18:26.700
 to general affection

00:18:26.700 --> 00:18:28.000
 is not only liable

00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:28.559
 to issue

00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:29.100
 and enmity

00:18:29.100 --> 00:18:30.259
 to being in general

00:18:30.259 --> 00:18:31.620
 but has a tendency

00:18:31.620 --> 00:18:32.259
 to it

00:18:32.259 --> 00:18:33.960
 and he gives an example

00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:35.000
 that makes it a little clearer

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:36.180
 when a man

00:18:36.180 --> 00:18:36.860
 is governed

00:18:36.860 --> 00:18:37.640
 by a regard

00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:38.299
 to his own

00:18:38.299 --> 00:18:39.400
 private interest

00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:40.980
 independent of regard

00:18:40.980 --> 00:18:41.960
 to the public good

00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:43.200
 such a temper

00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:44.240
 exposes a man

00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:45.200
 to act the part

00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:45.759
 of an enemy

00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:46.500
 to the public

00:18:46.500 --> 00:18:48.140
 as in every case

00:18:48.140 --> 00:18:49.259
 wherein his private interest

00:18:49.259 --> 00:18:50.200
 seems to clash

00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:51.119
 with the public

00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:53.279
 is that not true?

00:18:55.619 --> 00:18:57.379
 if our highest objective

00:18:57.379 --> 00:18:58.339
 is our own

00:18:58.339 --> 00:18:59.700
 private interest

00:18:59.700 --> 00:19:00.740
 then wherever

00:19:00.740 --> 00:19:02.160
 our private interest

00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:03.079
 is at odds

00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:04.019
 with the public good

00:19:04.019 --> 00:19:04.640
 we're going to be

00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:05.319
 a public enemy

00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:10.339
 if our highest allegiance

00:19:10.339 --> 00:19:11.539
 is to our class

00:19:11.539 --> 00:19:13.480
 or to a political party

00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:15.119
 or to a race

00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:16.319
 or to a nation

00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:17.319
 or to a gender

00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:18.259
 then naturally

00:19:18.259 --> 00:19:19.539
 we will be

00:19:19.539 --> 00:19:20.319
 classist

00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:21.359
 racist

00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:22.680
 chauvinist

00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:23.819
 and sexist

00:19:23.819 --> 00:19:29.480
 let me put it

00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:29.920
 another way

00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:30.740
 how do you get

00:19:30.740 --> 00:19:31.519
 an orchestra

00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:33.339
 of 50 something people

00:19:33.339 --> 00:19:36.160
 to play harmoniously

00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:36.599
 together

00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:40.420
 not by having

00:19:40.420 --> 00:19:41.319
 the various sections

00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:42.220
 of the orchestra

00:19:42.220 --> 00:19:43.420
 the strings

00:19:43.420 --> 00:19:44.180
 the woodwinds

00:19:44.180 --> 00:19:44.740
 the brass

00:19:44.740 --> 00:19:45.559
 the percussions

00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:46.579
 all play

00:19:46.579 --> 00:19:47.380
 at their own rhythm

00:19:47.380 --> 00:19:47.920
 and pace

00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:48.279
 and key

00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:51.440
 we also do not

00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:52.059
 accomplish that

00:19:52.059 --> 00:19:52.519
 by having

00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:53.420
 every individual

00:19:53.420 --> 00:19:53.920
 musician

00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:54.500
 watch

00:19:54.500 --> 00:19:55.819
 every other musician

00:19:55.819 --> 00:19:57.200
 and try to match

00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:57.980
 and sync up

00:19:57.980 --> 00:19:58.420
 with them

00:19:58.420 --> 00:19:59.579
 that would lead

00:19:59.579 --> 00:20:00.200
 to chaos

00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:00.900
 and cacophony

00:20:00.900 --> 00:20:03.460
 we get an orchestra

00:20:03.460 --> 00:20:04.660
 to play harmoniously

00:20:04.660 --> 00:20:05.080
 together

00:20:05.080 --> 00:20:05.720
 by having

00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:06.680
 all of them

00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:08.259
 follow the baton

00:20:08.259 --> 00:20:09.400
 of the one

00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:10.240
 conductor

00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:14.340
 similarly

00:20:14.340 --> 00:20:15.140
 as long as

00:20:15.140 --> 00:20:15.880
 we are looking out

00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:17.080
 for our own interests

00:20:17.080 --> 00:20:18.220
 or the interests

00:20:18.220 --> 00:20:19.360
 of our own factions

00:20:19.360 --> 00:20:20.620
 as long as

00:20:20.620 --> 00:20:21.259
 our driving

00:20:21.259 --> 00:20:22.259
 motivation in life

00:20:22.259 --> 00:20:23.200
 is what's in it

00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:23.780
 for me

00:20:23.780 --> 00:20:25.340
 or what's in it

00:20:25.340 --> 00:20:26.040
 for us

00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:27.819
 there will never

00:20:27.819 --> 00:20:28.420
 be peace

00:20:28.420 --> 00:20:28.940
 in our personal

00:20:28.940 --> 00:20:29.480
 relationships

00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:30.299
 or in the world

00:20:30.299 --> 00:20:31.659
 because everybody

00:20:31.659 --> 00:20:32.319
 else is doing

00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:33.420
 the same thing

00:20:33.420 --> 00:20:38.539
 and our desires

00:20:38.539 --> 00:20:39.420
 are in conflict

00:20:39.420 --> 00:20:40.319
 with each other

00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:42.559
 James 4

00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:43.039
 1-2

00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:43.639
 teaches us

00:20:43.639 --> 00:20:44.539
 what causes

00:20:44.539 --> 00:20:45.019
 quarrels

00:20:45.019 --> 00:20:45.940
 and what causes

00:20:45.940 --> 00:20:47.099
 fights among you

00:20:47.099 --> 00:20:48.159
 is it not this

00:20:48.159 --> 00:20:49.240
 that your passions

00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:50.180
 are at war

00:20:50.180 --> 00:20:50.779
 within you

00:20:50.779 --> 00:20:51.879
 you desire

00:20:51.879 --> 00:20:52.680
 and do not have

00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:53.539
 so you murder

00:20:53.539 --> 00:20:54.940
 you covet and

00:20:54.940 --> 00:20:55.519
 cannot obtain

00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:56.139
 so you fight

00:20:56.139 --> 00:20:56.680
 and quarrel

00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:58.259
 this is the root

00:20:58.259 --> 00:20:59.379
 of all conflict

00:20:59.379 --> 00:21:02.500
 there will be no end

00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:03.500
 to warring nations

00:21:03.500 --> 00:21:04.500
 as long as there are

00:21:04.500 --> 00:21:05.460
 warring passions

00:21:05.460 --> 00:21:06.559
 between persons

00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:08.539
 but if our

00:21:08.539 --> 00:21:09.379
 overriding concern

00:21:09.379 --> 00:21:10.240
 is instead

00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:11.940
 our father in heaven

00:21:11.940 --> 00:21:13.420
 hallowed be your name

00:21:13.420 --> 00:21:15.220
 your kingdom come

00:21:15.220 --> 00:21:16.579
 and your will be done

00:21:16.579 --> 00:21:17.119
 on earth

00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:18.079
 as it is in heaven

00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:19.680
 if our highest

00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:20.460
 objective in life

00:21:20.460 --> 00:21:21.019
 is to please

00:21:21.019 --> 00:21:22.200
 the one true God

00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:23.299
 who is over all

00:21:23.299 --> 00:21:24.119
 and through all

00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:25.019
 and in all

00:21:25.019 --> 00:21:26.319
 then we can have

00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:26.980
 true peace

00:21:26.980 --> 00:21:27.400
 and unity

00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:28.319
 among all peoples

00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:32.579
 in his book

00:21:32.579 --> 00:21:34.039
 shining like stars

00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:35.180
 the power of the gospel

00:21:35.180 --> 00:21:36.339
 in the world's universities

00:21:36.339 --> 00:21:37.079
 Lindsay Brown

00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:37.960
 the former CEO

00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:39.440
 of international fellowship

00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:40.559
 of evangelical students

00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:42.420
 illustrates this reality

00:21:42.420 --> 00:21:45.539
 during the Burundi genocide

00:21:45.539 --> 00:21:47.000
 in the early 90s

00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:48.500
 a number of Tutsis

00:21:48.500 --> 00:21:49.339
 were killed

00:21:49.339 --> 00:21:50.240
 on campus

00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:51.519
 of Bujumbura University

00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:52.279
 by the Hutus

00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:53.379
 imagine

00:21:53.379 --> 00:21:54.899
 intentional murder

00:21:54.899 --> 00:21:55.799
 happening on your

00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:56.799
 university campuses

00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:01.559
 and many of the Tutsis

00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:02.519
 out of fear

00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:03.519
 fled to the mountains

00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:05.339
 during that time

00:22:05.339 --> 00:22:07.019
 some Hutu Christians

00:22:07.019 --> 00:22:08.839
 chased after

00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:09.599
 followed after

00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:10.500
 these Christian

00:22:10.500 --> 00:22:12.399
 Tutsis

00:22:12.399 --> 00:22:12.779
 who had fled

00:22:12.779 --> 00:22:13.359
 to the mountains

00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:14.559
 and they brought

00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:15.180
 them food

00:22:15.180 --> 00:22:16.500
 and clothing

00:22:16.500 --> 00:22:18.519
 took care of them

00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:20.160
 comforted them

00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:23.380
 and many of these

00:22:23.380 --> 00:22:24.740
 courageous Hutu

00:22:24.740 --> 00:22:25.180
 Christians

00:22:25.180 --> 00:22:26.060
 were disowned

00:22:26.060 --> 00:22:26.779
 by their own

00:22:26.779 --> 00:22:27.500
 family members

00:22:27.500 --> 00:22:28.680
 because they chose

00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:29.380
 to put their

00:22:29.380 --> 00:22:30.200
 Christian allegiance

00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:31.040
 their allegiance

00:22:31.040 --> 00:22:31.660
 to Christ

00:22:31.660 --> 00:22:32.740
 above their allegiance

00:22:32.740 --> 00:22:34.019
 to their ethnic group

00:22:34.019 --> 00:22:39.000
 and because of that

00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:41.259
 experience

00:22:41.259 --> 00:22:43.380
 the non-Christian

00:22:43.380 --> 00:22:44.279
 president of

00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:45.320
 Bujumbura University

00:22:45.320 --> 00:22:45.779
 in Burundi

00:22:45.779 --> 00:22:46.259
 made this

00:22:46.259 --> 00:22:47.420
 extraordinary remark

00:22:47.420 --> 00:22:49.480
 our culture

00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:50.980
 is disintegrating

00:22:50.980 --> 00:22:52.600
 on our campus

00:22:52.600 --> 00:22:53.220
 there are three

00:22:53.220 --> 00:22:54.120
 groups of people

00:22:54.120 --> 00:22:55.140
 Hutus

00:22:55.140 --> 00:22:56.180
 Tutsis

00:22:56.180 --> 00:22:57.759
 and Christians

00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:00.660
 if our culture

00:23:00.660 --> 00:23:02.000
 is to survive

00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:03.440
 we must follow

00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:04.100
 the example

00:23:04.100 --> 00:23:04.960
 of the Christians

00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:13.120
 the source

00:23:13.120 --> 00:23:13.720
 of all

00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:14.300
 conflicts

00:23:14.300 --> 00:23:15.240
 and wars

00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:15.840
 in the world

00:23:15.840 --> 00:23:16.360
 ultimately

00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:17.699
 is that sinful desire

00:23:17.699 --> 00:23:18.779
 and when desire

00:23:18.779 --> 00:23:19.779
 has conceived

00:23:19.779 --> 00:23:20.619
 it gives birth

00:23:20.619 --> 00:23:21.259
 to sin

00:23:21.259 --> 00:23:21.699
 and when sin

00:23:21.699 --> 00:23:22.579
 it is fully grown

00:23:22.579 --> 00:23:23.359
 it brings forth

00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:24.000
 death

00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:27.000
 the only way

00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:27.879
 to make ultimate

00:23:27.879 --> 00:23:28.759
 peace then

00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:30.019
 is not negotiations

00:23:30.019 --> 00:23:32.179
 not diplomacy

00:23:32.179 --> 00:23:34.219
 but conversions

00:23:34.219 --> 00:23:38.659
 the only way

00:23:38.659 --> 00:23:40.339
 to get ultimate

00:23:40.339 --> 00:23:40.799
 peace

00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:41.799
 is to have people

00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:42.399
 surrender

00:23:42.399 --> 00:23:43.079
 to the lordship

00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:43.519
 of Christ

00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:44.379
 and to submit

00:23:44.380 --> 00:23:45.180
 their passions

00:23:45.180 --> 00:23:45.800
 and desires

00:23:45.800 --> 00:23:46.380
 to God

00:23:46.380 --> 00:23:47.940
 and it's when

00:23:47.940 --> 00:23:48.460
 the gospel

00:23:48.460 --> 00:23:49.140
 of Jesus Christ

00:23:49.140 --> 00:23:50.180
 transforms them

00:23:50.180 --> 00:23:50.780
 from the inside

00:23:50.780 --> 00:23:51.300
 out to seek

00:23:51.300 --> 00:23:52.100
 God's will

00:23:52.100 --> 00:23:52.540
 rather than

00:23:52.540 --> 00:23:53.740
 their own wills

00:23:53.740 --> 00:23:54.820
 their own private

00:23:54.820 --> 00:23:55.360
 interests

00:23:55.360 --> 00:23:57.400
 that's the only

00:23:57.400 --> 00:23:57.980
 path

00:23:57.980 --> 00:23:58.780
 to true peace

00:23:58.780 --> 00:24:01.980
 20th century

00:24:01.980 --> 00:24:02.640
 Walsh pastor

00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:03.080
 D. Martin

00:24:03.080 --> 00:24:03.640
 Lloyd-Jones

00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:04.720
 concurs

00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:05.820
 he says

00:24:05.820 --> 00:24:06.720
 if every man

00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:07.140
 and woman

00:24:07.140 --> 00:24:07.660
 in the world

00:24:07.660 --> 00:24:08.560
 knew what it was

00:24:08.560 --> 00:24:08.980
 to hunger

00:24:08.980 --> 00:24:09.380
 and thirst

00:24:09.380 --> 00:24:10.160
 after righteousness

00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:10.740
 there would be

00:24:10.740 --> 00:24:11.280
 no danger

00:24:11.280 --> 00:24:11.720
 of war

00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:13.259
 here is the only

00:24:13.259 --> 00:24:14.319
 way to real peace

00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:15.339
 all other

00:24:15.339 --> 00:24:15.980
 considerations

00:24:15.980 --> 00:24:16.799
 eventually do not

00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:17.620
 touch the problem

00:24:17.620 --> 00:24:18.519
 and all the

00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:19.279
 denunciations

00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:19.720
 that are so

00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:20.579
 constantly made

00:24:20.579 --> 00:24:21.039
 of various

00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:21.500
 countries

00:24:21.500 --> 00:24:22.019
 and peoples

00:24:22.019 --> 00:24:22.579
 and persons

00:24:22.579 --> 00:24:23.440
 will not have

00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:23.960
 the slightest

00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:24.660
 effect upon

00:24:24.660 --> 00:24:25.220
 the international

00:24:25.220 --> 00:24:25.900
 situation

00:24:25.900 --> 00:24:27.299
 the greatest

00:24:27.299 --> 00:24:27.940
 need in the

00:24:27.940 --> 00:24:28.559
 world now

00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:29.140
 is for a

00:24:29.140 --> 00:24:30.180
 greater number

00:24:30.180 --> 00:24:31.100
 of Christians

00:24:31.100 --> 00:24:32.360
 individual

00:24:32.360 --> 00:24:33.140
 Christians

00:24:33.140 --> 00:24:34.819
 if all nations

00:24:34.819 --> 00:24:35.660
 consisted of

00:24:35.660 --> 00:24:36.620
 individual Christians

00:24:36.620 --> 00:24:37.100
 there would be

00:24:37.100 --> 00:24:38.059
 no need to fear

00:24:38.059 --> 00:24:38.900
 atomic power

00:24:38.900 --> 00:24:39.960
 or anything else

00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:41.480
 so the gospel

00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:42.799
 which seems to be

00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:43.579
 so remote

00:24:43.579 --> 00:24:44.240
 and indirect

00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:45.000
 in its approach

00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:45.660
 is actually

00:24:45.660 --> 00:24:46.720
 the most direct

00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:47.559
 way of solving

00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:48.100
 the problem

00:24:48.100 --> 00:24:49.680
 one of the greatest

00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:50.819
 tragedies in the life

00:24:50.819 --> 00:24:51.799
 of the church today

00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:52.920
 is the way in which

00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:54.120
 so many are content

00:24:54.120 --> 00:24:55.059
 with these vague

00:24:55.059 --> 00:24:55.579
 general

00:24:55.579 --> 00:24:56.860
 useless statements

00:24:56.860 --> 00:24:57.759
 about war

00:24:57.759 --> 00:24:58.420
 and peace

00:24:58.420 --> 00:24:59.819
 instead of preaching

00:24:59.819 --> 00:25:00.440
 the gospel

00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:01.799
 in all its simplicity

00:25:01.799 --> 00:25:03.039
 and purity

00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:07.559
 so few have

00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:08.220
 the theological

00:25:08.220 --> 00:25:08.840
 clarity

00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:09.399
 that D. Martin

00:25:09.399 --> 00:25:09.839
 Lowe Jones

00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:10.179
 had

00:25:10.179 --> 00:25:16.359
 it's because

00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:16.799
 of this

00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:17.259
 that Martin

00:25:17.259 --> 00:25:17.759
 Lowe Jones

00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:18.319
 understood

00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:19.559
 that because

00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:20.059
 he understood

00:25:20.059 --> 00:25:20.299
 this

00:25:20.299 --> 00:25:20.659
 that he was

00:25:20.659 --> 00:25:21.639
 not really

00:25:21.639 --> 00:25:22.799
 enthused

00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:23.559
 or excited

00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:25.019
 or impressed

00:25:25.019 --> 00:25:25.899
 when the Kellogg

00:25:25.899 --> 00:25:26.279
 Pact

00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:26.919
 was signed

00:25:26.919 --> 00:25:28.339
 how many of you

00:25:28.339 --> 00:25:28.559
 guys know

00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:29.240
 what the Kellogg

00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:29.959
 Pact is

00:25:29.959 --> 00:25:32.459
 it's not surprising

00:25:32.459 --> 00:25:33.079
 because it's pretty

00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:33.859
 irrelevant at this

00:25:33.859 --> 00:25:34.079
 point

00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:36.099
 the Kellogg

00:25:36.099 --> 00:25:36.379
 Pact

00:25:36.379 --> 00:25:36.759
 was an

00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:37.240
 international

00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:38.000
 agreement

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:38.579
 on peace

00:25:38.579 --> 00:25:39.920
 signed in

00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:40.700
 1928

00:25:40.700 --> 00:25:41.640
 the signing

00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:42.000
 states

00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:42.559
 promised

00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:43.259
 not to

00:25:43.259 --> 00:25:43.980
 use war

00:25:43.980 --> 00:25:44.599
 to resolve

00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:45.180
 disputes

00:25:45.180 --> 00:25:45.759
 or conflicts

00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:46.200
 of whatever

00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:46.619
 nature

00:25:46.619 --> 00:25:48.259
 15 nations

00:25:48.259 --> 00:25:48.920
 signed it

00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:49.259
 including

00:25:49.259 --> 00:25:49.799
 the U.S.

00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:50.319
 the U.K.

00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:50.759
 France

00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:51.119
 Germany

00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:51.420
 Italy

00:25:51.420 --> 00:25:51.900
 and Japan

00:25:51.900 --> 00:25:53.160
 among others

00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:54.200
 and at the

00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:54.900
 time

00:25:54.900 --> 00:25:55.900
 it was celebrated

00:25:55.900 --> 00:25:56.900
 worldwide

00:25:56.900 --> 00:25:57.839
 really as

00:25:57.839 --> 00:25:58.400
 a pact

00:25:58.400 --> 00:25:58.859
 that will

00:25:58.859 --> 00:25:59.579
 outlaw

00:25:59.579 --> 00:26:00.019
 war

00:26:00.019 --> 00:26:00.519
 forever

00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:03.740
 Lloyd

00:26:03.740 --> 00:26:04.039
 Jones

00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:04.579
 shocked

00:26:04.579 --> 00:26:04.819
 his

00:26:04.819 --> 00:26:05.400
 contemporary

00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:05.940
 pastors

00:26:05.940 --> 00:26:07.059
 with his

00:26:07.059 --> 00:26:07.379
 lack

00:26:07.379 --> 00:26:07.519
 of

00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:08.019
 enthusiasm

00:26:08.019 --> 00:26:08.480
 about

00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:08.639
 the

00:26:08.639 --> 00:26:08.940
 Kellogg

00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:09.319
 Pact

00:26:09.319 --> 00:26:13.680
 his

00:26:13.680 --> 00:26:14.180
 colleagues

00:26:14.180 --> 00:26:14.660
 wanted to

00:26:14.660 --> 00:26:15.180
 talk about

00:26:15.180 --> 00:26:15.720
 nothing but

00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:16.240
 the Kellogg

00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:16.579
 Pact

00:26:16.579 --> 00:26:17.339
 this is a

00:26:17.339 --> 00:26:18.039
 momentous

00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:18.779
 occasion

00:26:18.779 --> 00:26:20.559
 he was

00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:20.759
 out

00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:21.119
 okay

00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:21.500
 yeah

00:26:21.500 --> 00:26:22.019
 he just

00:26:22.019 --> 00:26:22.519
 insisted

00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:23.059
 on continuing

00:26:23.059 --> 00:26:23.519
 to proclaim

00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:24.059
 the gospel

00:26:24.059 --> 00:26:28.119
 because he

00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:28.480
 understood

00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:28.919
 this

00:26:28.919 --> 00:26:31.119
 and Lloyd

00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:31.440
 Jones

00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:31.919
 has been

00:26:31.919 --> 00:26:32.179
 proven

00:26:32.179 --> 00:26:32.500
 right

00:26:32.500 --> 00:26:33.139
 by history

00:26:33.139 --> 00:26:33.579
 because

00:26:33.579 --> 00:26:34.559
 the three

00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:34.919
 of the

00:26:34.919 --> 00:26:35.419
 signatories

00:26:35.419 --> 00:26:36.299
 who signed

00:26:36.299 --> 00:26:36.819
 the Kellogg

00:26:36.819 --> 00:26:37.179
 Pact

00:26:37.179 --> 00:26:37.759
 started

00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:38.319
 World War

00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:38.659
 II

00:26:38.659 --> 00:26:40.220
 just a

00:26:40.220 --> 00:26:40.379
 short

00:26:40.379 --> 00:26:40.659
 decade

00:26:40.659 --> 00:26:41.019
 later

00:26:41.019 --> 00:26:44.339
 and he

00:26:44.339 --> 00:26:44.700
 hasn't

00:26:44.700 --> 00:26:44.960
 really

00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:45.339
 prevented

00:26:45.339 --> 00:26:45.619
 much

00:26:45.619 --> 00:26:46.000
 wars

00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:46.480
 ever

00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:46.819
 since

00:26:46.819 --> 00:26:47.220
 either

00:26:47.220 --> 00:26:51.119
 Lloyd

00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:51.259
 Jones

00:26:51.259 --> 00:26:51.679
 understood

00:26:51.679 --> 00:26:52.240
 the profound

00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:52.679
 reality

00:26:52.679 --> 00:26:52.960
 that the

00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:53.259
 root of

00:26:53.259 --> 00:26:53.700
 conflict

00:26:53.700 --> 00:26:54.640
 is sinful

00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:55.340
 heart

00:26:55.340 --> 00:26:56.420
 is sinful

00:26:56.420 --> 00:26:56.900
 desires

00:26:56.900 --> 00:26:57.180
 in our

00:26:57.180 --> 00:26:57.440
 hearts

00:26:57.440 --> 00:26:57.740
 we can

00:26:57.740 --> 00:26:57.880
 be

00:26:57.880 --> 00:26:58.940
 and this

00:26:58.940 --> 00:26:59.400
 is why

00:26:59.400 --> 00:26:59.860
 this is

00:26:59.860 --> 00:27:00.160
 important

00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:00.440
 we can

00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:00.900
 be tempted

00:27:00.900 --> 00:27:01.539
 to think

00:27:01.539 --> 00:27:02.360
 in our

00:27:02.360 --> 00:27:02.819
 present

00:27:02.819 --> 00:27:03.420
 climate

00:27:03.420 --> 00:27:04.920
 that the

00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:05.759
 negotiators

00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:06.360
 of the

00:27:06.360 --> 00:27:07.539
 Israeli

00:27:07.539 --> 00:27:08.039
 Hamas

00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:09.000
 ceasefire

00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:09.500
 what they

00:27:09.500 --> 00:27:09.980
 are doing

00:27:09.980 --> 00:27:11.039
 or what

00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:11.500
 President

00:27:11.500 --> 00:27:11.940
 Trump

00:27:11.940 --> 00:27:12.299
 is

00:27:12.299 --> 00:27:12.960
 attempting

00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:13.580
 to do

00:27:13.580 --> 00:27:14.220
 in negotiating

00:27:14.220 --> 00:27:14.660
 an end

00:27:14.660 --> 00:27:14.960
 to the

00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:15.920
 Russo-Ukrainian

00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:16.220
 war

00:27:16.220 --> 00:27:17.220
 or the

00:27:17.220 --> 00:27:17.819
 resolutions

00:27:17.819 --> 00:27:18.480
 declared

00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:19.299
 and proclaimed

00:27:19.299 --> 00:27:19.779
 by the

00:27:19.779 --> 00:27:20.400
 United Nations

00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:21.220
 that these

00:27:21.220 --> 00:27:21.740
 are the

00:27:21.740 --> 00:27:22.200
 big

00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:23.240
 and important

00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:24.140

 peacemaking

00:27:25.299 --> 00:27:27.460
 while our

00:27:27.460 --> 00:27:28.839
 calling people

00:27:28.839 --> 00:27:29.259
 to repent

00:27:29.259 --> 00:27:29.700
 of their

00:27:29.700 --> 00:27:30.180
 sins

00:27:30.180 --> 00:27:31.940
 and our

00:27:31.940 --> 00:27:32.720
 confessing of

00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:33.319
 our own sins

00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:33.620
 to one

00:27:33.620 --> 00:27:33.920
 another

00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:34.720
 and our

 reconciliation

00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:36.120
 with one

00:27:36.120 --> 00:27:36.359
 another

00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:36.839
 these are

00:27:36.839 --> 00:27:37.400
 small

00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:38.440
 insignificant

00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:39.140
 forms of

00:27:39.140 --> 00:27:39.640
 peacemaking

00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:41.700
 and our

00:27:41.700 --> 00:27:42.380
 but to

00:27:42.380 --> 00:27:42.759
 think that

00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:43.200
 way is

00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:43.480
 a big

00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:43.960
 mistake

00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:47.920
 we are

00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:48.320
 dealing

00:27:48.320 --> 00:27:49.080
 with the

00:27:49.080 --> 00:27:49.380
 root

00:27:49.380 --> 00:27:53.500
 we have

00:27:53.500 --> 00:27:53.980
 the real

00:27:53.980 --> 00:27:54.520
 solution

00:27:54.520 --> 00:27:55.120
 the gospel

00:27:55.120 --> 00:27:57.320
 we're in

00:27:57.320 --> 00:27:57.780
 the work

00:27:57.780 --> 00:27:58.780
 of curative

00:27:58.780 --> 00:27:59.259
 care

00:27:59.259 --> 00:28:02.200
 really trying

00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:02.720
 to cure

00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:03.240
 the underlying

00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:03.820
 disease

00:28:03.820 --> 00:28:05.100
 they're in

00:28:05.100 --> 00:28:05.480
 the work

00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:06.220
 of palliative

00:28:06.220 --> 00:28:06.620
 care

00:28:06.619 --> 00:28:07.839
 managing

00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:08.379
 pain

00:28:08.379 --> 00:28:09.419
 without

00:28:09.419 --> 00:28:09.719
 actually

00:28:09.719 --> 00:28:10.199
 seeking to

00:28:10.199 --> 00:28:10.599
 heal

00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:11.139
 the underlying

00:28:11.139 --> 00:28:11.659
 disease

00:28:11.659 --> 00:28:13.419
 the work

00:28:13.419 --> 00:28:13.979
 we are

00:28:13.979 --> 00:28:14.319
 doing

00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:14.759
 is of

00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:15.459
 eternal

00:28:15.459 --> 00:28:16.179
 significance

00:28:16.179 --> 00:28:16.939
 because

00:28:16.939 --> 00:28:18.039
 every human

00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:18.479
 soul

00:28:18.479 --> 00:28:18.879
 that you

00:28:18.879 --> 00:28:19.199
 seek

00:28:19.199 --> 00:28:19.739
 reconciliation

00:28:19.739 --> 00:28:20.359
 and peace

00:28:20.359 --> 00:28:20.739
 with

00:28:20.739 --> 00:28:21.659
 is going

00:28:21.659 --> 00:28:22.019
 to live

00:28:22.019 --> 00:28:22.379
 forever

00:28:22.379 --> 00:28:24.459
 and every

00:28:24.459 --> 00:28:25.039
 single soul

00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:25.579
 that repents

00:28:25.579 --> 00:28:25.879
 of their

00:28:25.879 --> 00:28:26.179
 sins

00:28:26.179 --> 00:28:26.459
 and is

00:28:26.459 --> 00:28:26.699
 thereby

00:28:26.699 --> 00:28:27.719
 reconciled

00:28:27.719 --> 00:28:28.139
 to God

00:28:28.139 --> 00:28:29.019
 will live

00:28:29.019 --> 00:28:29.459
 forever

00:28:29.459 --> 00:28:31.000
 every person

00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:31.319
 you talk

00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:31.579
 to will

00:28:31.579 --> 00:28:31.979
 either live

00:28:31.979 --> 00:28:32.219
 forever

00:28:32.219 --> 00:28:32.699
 in heaven

00:28:32.699 --> 00:28:33.299
 or in hell

00:28:33.299 --> 00:28:33.799
 depending on

00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:34.579
 how they

00:28:34.579 --> 00:28:35.259
 respond to

00:28:35.259 --> 00:28:35.779
 the offer

00:28:35.779 --> 00:28:36.160
 of peace

00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:36.500
 that God

00:28:36.500 --> 00:28:36.819
 has given

00:28:36.819 --> 00:28:37.119
 us in

00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:37.339
 Jesus

00:28:37.339 --> 00:28:37.839
 Christ

00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.899
 compared to

00:28:41.899 --> 00:28:42.240
 that

00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:43.879
 all the

00:28:43.879 --> 00:28:44.339
 peacemaking

00:28:44.339 --> 00:28:44.799
 work and

00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:45.099
 the great

00:28:45.099 --> 00:28:45.599
 diplomacy

00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:45.940
 that is

00:28:45.940 --> 00:28:46.200
 happening

00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:46.559
 in place

00:28:46.559 --> 00:28:46.940
 though not

00:28:46.940 --> 00:28:47.480
 unimportant

00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:48.480
 is of

00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:49.039
 temporal

00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:49.839
 significance

00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:52.119
 because no

00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:52.680
 nation state

00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:53.500
 lasts forever

00:28:53.500 --> 00:28:56.379
 every kingdom

00:28:56.379 --> 00:28:57.740
 eventually

00:28:57.740 --> 00:28:58.200
 falls

00:28:58.200 --> 00:28:59.299
 every earthly

00:28:59.299 --> 00:28:59.639
 kingdom

00:28:59.639 --> 00:29:03.639
 this truth

00:29:03.639 --> 00:29:04.119
 by the way

00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:04.759
 is why

00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:05.740
 Jesus

00:29:05.740 --> 00:29:06.299
 and the

00:29:06.299 --> 00:29:06.619
 Bible

00:29:06.619 --> 00:29:07.500
 focus

00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:08.920
 relentlessly

00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:09.859
 on personal

00:29:09.859 --> 00:29:10.339
 repentance

00:29:10.339 --> 00:29:11.660
 and interpersonal

00:29:11.660 --> 00:29:12.539
 reconciliation

00:29:12.539 --> 00:29:14.059
 throughout

00:29:14.059 --> 00:29:14.640
 gospels

00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:14.900
 throughout

00:29:14.900 --> 00:29:15.299
 scripture

00:29:15.299 --> 00:29:17.220
 but they

00:29:17.220 --> 00:29:17.619
 don't have

00:29:17.619 --> 00:29:18.019
 much to

00:29:18.019 --> 00:29:18.480
 say about

00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:18.819
 ending

00:29:18.819 --> 00:29:19.259
 wars

00:29:19.259 --> 00:29:20.220
 and forming

00:29:20.220 --> 00:29:20.779
 international

00:29:20.779 --> 00:29:21.200
 treaties

00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:24.119
 it's not

00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:24.500
 that Jesus

00:29:24.500 --> 00:29:25.119
 was unaware

00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:26.240
 of geopolitical

00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:26.740
 realities

00:29:26.740 --> 00:29:27.400
 do you think

00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:27.960
 that Jesus

00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:28.640
 never heard

00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:29.119
 of how

00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:29.779
 King

00:29:29.779 --> 00:29:30.099
 Herod

00:29:30.099 --> 00:29:30.759
 the first

00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:31.279
 tried to

00:29:31.279 --> 00:29:31.819
 kill him

00:29:31.819 --> 00:29:32.839
 by killing

00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:33.460
 all the

00:29:33.460 --> 00:29:33.819
 males

00:29:33.819 --> 00:29:34.259
 under the

00:29:34.259 --> 00:29:34.579
 age of

00:29:34.579 --> 00:29:34.779
 two

00:29:34.779 --> 00:29:35.500
 in Bethlehem

00:29:35.500 --> 00:29:35.759
 so that

00:29:35.759 --> 00:29:36.059
 they could

00:29:36.059 --> 00:29:36.399
 eliminate

00:29:36.399 --> 00:29:36.799
 him

00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:38.279
 as a

00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:39.099
 threat to

00:29:39.099 --> 00:29:39.779
 his throne

00:29:39.779 --> 00:29:40.119
 as the

00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:40.439
 Messiah

00:29:40.439 --> 00:29:41.919
 do you think

00:29:41.919 --> 00:29:42.439
 Jesus was

00:29:42.439 --> 00:29:43.279
 unaware of

00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:44.619
 the extortionist

00:29:44.619 --> 00:29:45.779
 tax burden

00:29:45.779 --> 00:29:46.319
 that the Roman

00:29:46.319 --> 00:29:47.379
 authorities placed

00:29:47.379 --> 00:29:48.079
 on the Jews

00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:48.399
 do you think

00:29:48.399 --> 00:29:48.980
 he never heard

00:29:48.980 --> 00:29:49.339
 about that

00:29:49.339 --> 00:29:49.659
 from his

00:29:49.659 --> 00:29:50.119
 disciples

00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:52.200
 taxation

00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:52.740
 without

00:29:52.740 --> 00:29:53.500
 representation

00:29:53.500 --> 00:29:54.240
 is tyranny

00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:54.439
 right

00:29:54.439 --> 00:29:55.000
 that was the

00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:55.539
 slogan of

00:29:55.539 --> 00:29:56.019
 the American

00:29:56.019 --> 00:29:56.500
 revolution

00:29:56.500 --> 00:29:56.960
 and these

00:29:56.960 --> 00:29:57.279
 Jews

00:29:57.279 --> 00:29:57.639
 had it

00:29:57.639 --> 00:29:58.039
 worse

00:29:58.039 --> 00:30:01.680
 they asked

00:30:01.680 --> 00:30:02.059
 Jesus

00:30:02.059 --> 00:30:02.440
 is it

00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:02.899
 lawful

00:30:02.899 --> 00:30:03.680
 to pay

00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:04.079
 taxes

00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:04.579
 to Caesar

00:30:04.579 --> 00:30:05.180
 or not

00:30:05.180 --> 00:30:07.079
 and Jesus

00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:07.639
 does not

00:30:07.639 --> 00:30:08.480
 launch off

00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:09.119
 into a speech

00:30:09.119 --> 00:30:09.500
 about the

00:30:09.500 --> 00:30:09.799
 political

00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:10.339
 oppression

00:30:10.339 --> 00:30:11.019
 and injustice

00:30:11.019 --> 00:30:11.420
 of the

00:30:11.420 --> 00:30:11.680
 Romans

00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:12.200
 he says

00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:13.099
 render to

00:30:13.099 --> 00:30:13.359
 Caesar

00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:13.720
 what is

00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:14.339
 Caesar's

00:30:14.339 --> 00:30:14.920
 render to

00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:15.200
 God

00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:15.559
 what is

00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:16.359
 God's

00:30:16.359 --> 00:30:20.420
 in Luke

00:30:20.420 --> 00:30:20.899
 13

00:30:20.899 --> 00:30:21.399
 when people

00:30:21.399 --> 00:30:22.200
 tell Jesus

00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:22.859
 about how

00:30:22.859 --> 00:30:23.399
 Pilate

00:30:23.399 --> 00:30:23.779
 the Roman

00:30:23.779 --> 00:30:24.259
 governor

00:30:24.259 --> 00:30:26.440
 when the

00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:26.799
 Jews were

00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:27.099
 offering

00:30:27.099 --> 00:30:27.299
 their

00:30:27.299 --> 00:30:27.919
 sacrifices

00:30:27.919 --> 00:30:28.279
 these

00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:28.799
 Galilean

00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:29.059
 Jews

00:30:29.059 --> 00:30:29.959
 he kills

00:30:29.959 --> 00:30:30.339
 them

00:30:30.339 --> 00:30:31.639
 and then

00:30:31.639 --> 00:30:32.159
 he up

00:30:32.159 --> 00:30:32.740
 mingles

00:30:32.740 --> 00:30:33.619
 their blood

00:30:33.619 --> 00:30:34.039
 with the

00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:34.619
 sacrifices

00:30:34.619 --> 00:30:34.959
 that they

00:30:34.959 --> 00:30:35.480
 were making

00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:38.839
 an atrocity

00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:40.699
 blasphemy

00:30:40.699 --> 00:30:42.519
 injustice

00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:43.359
 and oppression

00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:46.699
 we might

00:30:46.699 --> 00:30:47.279
 expect Jesus

00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:47.939
 to rise up

00:30:47.939 --> 00:30:48.659
 with indignation

00:30:48.659 --> 00:30:49.219
 and rally

00:30:49.219 --> 00:30:49.859
 his followers

00:30:49.859 --> 00:30:51.099
 and retrofit

00:30:51.099 --> 00:30:51.399
 them with

00:30:51.399 --> 00:30:51.759
 weapons

00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:52.299
 and ride

00:30:52.299 --> 00:30:52.899
 into Jerusalem

00:30:52.899 --> 00:30:53.719
 on a stallion

00:30:53.719 --> 00:30:55.500
 and overthrow

00:30:55.500 --> 00:30:55.959
 the Roman

00:30:55.959 --> 00:30:56.939
 empire

00:30:56.940 --> 00:30:58.500
 but no

00:30:58.500 --> 00:30:58.980
 he tells

00:30:58.980 --> 00:30:59.299
 them

00:30:59.299 --> 00:31:01.519
 unless you

00:31:01.519 --> 00:31:02.140
 repent

00:31:02.140 --> 00:31:03.860
 you all

00:31:03.860 --> 00:31:04.720
 will likewise

00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:05.259
 perish

00:31:05.259 --> 00:31:09.500
 he always

00:31:09.500 --> 00:31:10.140
 turns these

00:31:10.140 --> 00:31:10.779
 things right

00:31:10.779 --> 00:31:11.500
 back around

00:31:11.500 --> 00:31:11.900
 to the

00:31:11.900 --> 00:31:12.240
 people

00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:13.299
 and to

00:31:13.299 --> 00:31:14.059
 make it

00:31:14.059 --> 00:31:14.500
 makes it

00:31:14.500 --> 00:31:14.880
 an issue

00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:15.640
 of personal

00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:16.320
 repentance

00:31:16.320 --> 00:31:17.080
 and their

00:31:17.080 --> 00:31:17.620
 relationship

00:31:17.620 --> 00:31:18.299
 with God

00:31:18.299 --> 00:31:22.100
 think about

00:31:22.100 --> 00:31:22.240
 that

00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:22.660
 that's kind

00:31:22.660 --> 00:31:22.860
 of a

00:31:22.860 --> 00:31:23.200
 confusing

00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:23.880
 response

00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:25.460
 unless you

00:31:25.460 --> 00:31:26.000
 understand

00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:26.660
 the spiritual

00:31:26.660 --> 00:31:27.059
 realities

00:31:27.059 --> 00:31:27.580
 we're speaking

00:31:27.580 --> 00:31:27.920
 of

00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:31.720
 I've spent

00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:32.299
 enough time

00:31:32.299 --> 00:31:32.960
 defining and

00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:33.539
 qualifying

00:31:33.539 --> 00:31:34.500
 peacemaking

00:31:34.500 --> 00:31:35.220
 let's get

00:31:35.220 --> 00:31:35.720
 down to

00:31:35.720 --> 00:31:36.440
 business

00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:38.120
 nitty gritty

00:31:38.120 --> 00:31:38.799
 details of what

00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:39.120
 that looks

00:31:39.120 --> 00:31:39.480
 like

00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:40.680
 sorry

00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:44.240
 the

00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:44.700
 beatitude

00:31:44.700 --> 00:31:45.160
 isn't

00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:45.519
 blessed

00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:45.799
 are

00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:45.980
 the

00:31:45.980 --> 00:31:46.360
 peace

00:31:46.360 --> 00:31:46.700
 lovers

00:31:46.700 --> 00:31:47.920
 or the

00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:48.160
 peace

00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:48.720
 talkers

00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:49.000
 it's

00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:49.220
 blessed

00:31:49.220 --> 00:31:49.500
 are the

00:31:49.500 --> 00:31:50.420
 peacemakers

00:31:50.420 --> 00:31:51.759
 people who

00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:51.980
 do

00:31:51.980 --> 00:31:52.500
 peace

00:31:52.500 --> 00:31:55.900
 first we

00:31:55.900 --> 00:31:56.380
 must make

00:31:56.380 --> 00:31:57.060
 peace in

00:31:57.060 --> 00:31:57.200
 our

00:31:57.200 --> 00:31:57.740
 relationships

00:31:57.740 --> 00:31:58.279
 with our

00:31:58.279 --> 00:31:58.519
 Christian

00:31:58.519 --> 00:31:58.980
 brothers and

00:31:58.980 --> 00:31:59.279
 sisters

00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:01.400
 the Bible

00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:02.100
 talks so

00:32:02.100 --> 00:32:02.660
 often about

00:32:02.660 --> 00:32:03.259
 this I

00:32:03.259 --> 00:32:03.480
 could have

00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:03.799
 spent the

00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:04.400
 entire sermon

00:32:20.660 --> 00:32:20.960
 will be

00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:21.539
 with you

00:32:21.539 --> 00:32:23.299
 Christians

00:32:23.299 --> 00:32:24.180
 cannot

00:32:24.180 --> 00:32:25.019
 accept

00:32:25.019 --> 00:32:26.220
 conflict

00:32:26.220 --> 00:32:28.100
 as a

00:32:28.100 --> 00:32:28.860
 status quo

00:32:28.860 --> 00:32:30.319
 we are

00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:30.940
 commanded

00:32:30.940 --> 00:32:31.819
 to aim

00:32:31.819 --> 00:32:32.079
 for

00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:32.740
 restoration

00:32:32.740 --> 00:32:33.620
 we are

00:32:33.620 --> 00:32:34.019
 commanded

00:32:34.019 --> 00:32:34.759
 to agree

00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:35.340
 with one

00:32:35.340 --> 00:32:35.620
 another

00:32:35.620 --> 00:32:36.340
 to live

00:32:36.339 --> 00:32:37.039
 in peace

00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:41.339
 over the

00:32:41.339 --> 00:32:41.779
 last 10

00:32:41.779 --> 00:32:42.220
 years of

00:32:42.220 --> 00:32:42.699
 church life

00:32:42.699 --> 00:32:43.179
 I've had

00:32:43.179 --> 00:32:43.879
 number of

00:32:43.879 --> 00:32:44.359
 conflicts

00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:45.439
 with people

00:32:45.439 --> 00:32:45.959
 in church

00:32:45.959 --> 00:32:47.539
 and one

00:32:47.539 --> 00:32:47.720
 of the

00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:48.079
 things that

00:32:48.079 --> 00:32:48.399
 I'm very

00:32:48.399 --> 00:32:49.019
 proud of

00:32:49.019 --> 00:32:49.579
 of people

00:32:49.579 --> 00:32:49.859
 in our

00:32:49.859 --> 00:32:50.179
 church

00:32:50.179 --> 00:32:50.639
 and people

00:32:50.639 --> 00:32:50.879
 who are

00:32:50.879 --> 00:32:51.119
 here

00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:51.459
 is that

00:32:51.459 --> 00:32:51.779
 we have

00:32:51.779 --> 00:32:52.119
 walked

00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:52.359
 through

00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:52.599
 those

00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:52.899
 things

00:32:52.899 --> 00:32:56.439
 we did

00:32:56.439 --> 00:32:56.919
 not sit

00:32:56.919 --> 00:32:57.500
 in conflict

00:32:57.500 --> 00:32:57.799
 we didn't

00:32:57.799 --> 00:32:58.240
 let that

00:32:58.240 --> 00:32:58.639
 conflict

00:32:58.639 --> 00:32:59.039
 simmer

00:32:59.039 --> 00:32:59.720
 and exist

00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:00.579
 indefinitely

00:33:00.579 --> 00:33:01.240
 we worked

00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:01.740
 through those

00:33:01.740 --> 00:33:01.980
 things

00:33:01.980 --> 00:33:02.379
 and made

00:33:02.379 --> 00:33:02.899
 peace

00:33:02.900 --> 00:33:03.900
 peace

00:33:03.900 --> 00:33:06.060
 and I've

00:33:06.060 --> 00:33:06.360
 seen a

00:33:06.360 --> 00:33:06.800
 number of

00:33:06.800 --> 00:33:07.080
 believers

00:33:07.080 --> 00:33:07.400
 do that

00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:07.640
 in our

00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:07.840
 church

00:33:07.840 --> 00:33:08.000
 that

00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:08.320
 passing

00:33:08.320 --> 00:33:08.460
 the

00:33:08.460 --> 00:33:08.680
 peace

00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:09.000
 is not

00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:09.340
 just a

00:33:09.340 --> 00:33:09.880
 formality

00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:10.560
 real

00:33:10.560 --> 00:33:11.080
 making

00:33:11.080 --> 00:33:11.480
 peace

00:33:11.480 --> 00:33:12.040
 happens

00:33:12.040 --> 00:33:12.780
 during that

00:33:12.780 --> 00:33:13.060
 time

00:33:13.060 --> 00:33:13.640
 it starts

00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:14.060
 during those

00:33:14.060 --> 00:33:14.320
 times

00:33:14.320 --> 00:33:14.680
 and then it

00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:15.140
 continues

00:33:15.140 --> 00:33:15.540
 as

00:33:15.540 --> 00:33:16.200
 conversations

00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:16.940
 afterward

00:33:16.940 --> 00:33:22.340
 be at

00:33:22.340 --> 00:33:22.860
 peace

00:33:22.860 --> 00:33:23.160
 among

00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:23.600
 yourselves

00:33:23.600 --> 00:33:24.140
 it says

00:33:24.140 --> 00:33:26.420
 once again

00:33:26.420 --> 00:33:26.900
 this doesn't

00:33:26.900 --> 00:33:27.200
 mean to

00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:27.460
 seek

00:33:27.460 --> 00:33:27.920
 peace

00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:28.200
 at the

00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:28.720
 expense

00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:29.180
 of God's

00:33:29.180 --> 00:33:29.480
 revealed

00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:29.880
 truth

00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:30.080
 in

00:33:30.080 --> 00:33:30.420
 scripture

00:33:30.420 --> 00:33:32.799
 Paul

00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:33.400
 acknowledges

00:33:33.400 --> 00:33:33.740
 in 1

 Corinthians

 there

00:33:36.340 --> 00:33:36.640

 we

00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:30.740
 humble

00:42:52.099 --> 00:42:53.359

00:47:32.980 --> 00:47:33.199
 that's

00:47:33.199 --> 00:47:33.360
 why

 sons

00:48:37.660 --> 00:48:37.840
 of

00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:38.079
 God

00:48:38.079 --> 00:48:40.360
 all

00:48:40.360 --> 00:48:40.720
 this

00:48:40.720 --> 00:48:40.880
 is

00:48:40.880 --> 00:48:41.140
 from

00:48:41.140 --> 00:48:41.519
 God

00:48:41.519 --> 00:48:41.880
 he says

00:48:41.880 --> 00:48:42.300
 in 2nd

00:48:42.300 --> 00:48:42.880
 Corinthians 5

00:48:42.880 --> 00:48:43.480
 18-20

00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:43.900
 who

00:48:43.900 --> 00:48:44.599
 through Christ

00:48:44.599 --> 00:48:45.559
 reconciled us

00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:46.059
 to himself

00:48:46.059 --> 00:48:46.960
 and gave us

00:48:46.960 --> 00:48:47.579
 the ministry

00:48:47.579 --> 00:48:48.500
 of reconciliation

00:48:48.500 --> 00:48:49.360
 that is

00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:49.900
 in Christ

00:48:49.900 --> 00:48:50.440
 God was

00:48:50.440 --> 00:48:51.220
 reconciling the

00:48:51.220 --> 00:48:51.640
 world to

00:48:51.640 --> 00:48:52.059
 himself

00:48:52.059 --> 00:48:53.019
 not counting

00:48:53.019 --> 00:48:53.960
 their trespasses

00:48:53.960 --> 00:48:54.740
 against them

00:48:54.740 --> 00:48:55.720
 and entrusting

00:48:55.720 --> 00:48:56.019
 to us

00:48:56.019 --> 00:48:56.599
 the message

00:48:56.599 --> 00:48:57.300
 of reconciliation

00:48:57.300 --> 00:48:58.620
 therefore we

00:48:58.620 --> 00:48:59.420
 are ambassadors

00:48:59.420 --> 00:49:00.140
 for Christ

00:49:00.140 --> 00:49:00.960
 God making

00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:01.600
 his appeal

00:49:01.600 --> 00:49:02.500
 through us

00:49:02.500 --> 00:49:03.660
 we are

00:49:03.660 --> 00:49:04.280
 all of us

00:49:04.280 --> 00:49:04.680
 believers

00:49:04.680 --> 00:49:05.240
 in Jesus

00:49:05.240 --> 00:49:05.600
 Christ

00:49:05.600 --> 00:49:06.800
 are ambassadors

00:49:06.800 --> 00:49:07.700
 of reconciliation

00:49:07.700 --> 00:49:09.080
 because God

00:49:09.080 --> 00:49:09.980
 has reconciled

00:49:09.980 --> 00:49:10.900
 us to himself

00:49:10.900 --> 00:49:11.380
 in Jesus

00:49:11.380 --> 00:49:11.840
 Christ

00:49:11.840 --> 00:49:13.080
 we are all

00:49:13.080 --> 00:49:13.820
 ambassadors

00:49:13.820 --> 00:49:14.539
 of peace

00:49:14.539 --> 00:49:15.600
 because God

00:49:15.600 --> 00:49:16.360
 has made peace

00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:17.039
 with us

00:49:17.039 --> 00:49:17.460
 in Jesus

00:49:17.460 --> 00:49:17.940
 Christ

00:49:17.940 --> 00:49:21.500
 this is not

00:49:21.500 --> 00:49:22.240
 what the world

00:49:22.240 --> 00:49:22.900
 prizes

00:49:22.900 --> 00:49:25.940
 our world

00:49:25.940 --> 00:49:26.599
 is fascinated

00:49:26.599 --> 00:49:27.300
 with warriors

00:49:27.300 --> 00:49:28.280
 and conquerors

00:49:28.280 --> 00:49:31.340
 not with peacemakers

00:49:31.340 --> 00:49:33.940
 throughout history

00:49:33.940 --> 00:49:34.440
 people who

00:49:34.440 --> 00:49:35.180
 receive the

00:49:35.180 --> 00:49:36.180
 greatest acclaim

00:49:36.180 --> 00:49:36.940
 and the most

00:49:36.940 --> 00:49:37.579
 laurels

00:49:37.579 --> 00:49:38.480
 have not been

00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:39.139
 peacemakers

00:49:39.139 --> 00:49:40.160
 but the conquerors

00:49:40.160 --> 00:49:40.740
 and the warriors

00:49:40.740 --> 00:49:43.380
 in the absence

00:49:43.380 --> 00:49:43.840
 of war

00:49:43.840 --> 00:49:44.800
 it's the athletes

00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:45.900
 because sports

00:49:45.900 --> 00:49:46.660
 have early roots

00:49:46.660 --> 00:49:47.280
 in combat

00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:47.900
 and warfare

00:49:47.900 --> 00:49:50.920
 in our world

00:49:50.920 --> 00:49:51.400
 the warriors

00:49:51.400 --> 00:49:52.300
 and conquerors

00:49:52.300 --> 00:49:52.840
 are treated

00:49:52.840 --> 00:49:53.840
 like sons

00:49:53.840 --> 00:49:54.420
 of God

00:49:54.420 --> 00:49:55.620
 they are reified

00:49:55.620 --> 00:49:56.700
 and even deified

00:49:56.700 --> 00:49:57.140
 and given

00:49:57.140 --> 00:49:58.300
 their own statues

00:49:58.300 --> 00:49:59.039
 in their honor

00:49:59.039 --> 00:49:59.940
 and placed

00:49:59.940 --> 00:50:00.580
 in the hall

00:50:00.580 --> 00:50:01.100
 of fame

00:50:01.100 --> 00:50:02.840
 but Jesus

00:50:02.840 --> 00:50:03.680
 tells us

00:50:03.680 --> 00:50:04.800
 blessed are

00:50:04.800 --> 00:50:05.980
 the peacemakers

00:50:05.980 --> 00:50:06.740
 for they

00:50:06.740 --> 00:50:07.600
 shall be called

00:50:07.600 --> 00:50:08.539
 sons of God

00:50:08.539 --> 00:50:12.120
 by following

00:50:12.120 --> 00:50:13.060
 a crucified

00:50:13.060 --> 00:50:13.660
 savior

00:50:13.660 --> 00:50:15.140
 and by making

00:50:15.140 --> 00:50:15.880
 peace

00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:17.080
 all around us

00:50:17.080 --> 00:50:17.860
 through humility

00:50:17.860 --> 00:50:18.780
 and meekness

00:50:18.780 --> 00:50:20.240
 we radically

00:50:20.240 --> 00:50:21.320
 subvert

00:50:21.320 --> 00:50:22.940
 the politics

00:50:22.940 --> 00:50:23.380
 of power

00:50:23.380 --> 00:50:23.860
 and dominion

00:50:23.860 --> 00:50:24.320
 which rules

00:50:24.320 --> 00:50:24.840
 our world

00:50:24.840 --> 00:50:31.800
 that's the path

00:50:31.800 --> 00:50:32.360
 of the cross

00:50:32.360 --> 00:50:35.780
 and that is our path

00:50:35.780 --> 00:50:37.260
 not the path

00:50:37.260 --> 00:50:37.940
 of the revolution

00:50:37.940 --> 00:50:39.700
 path of the cross

00:50:39.700 --> 00:50:41.640
 let's pray together

00:50:41.639 --> 00:50:51.699
 heavenly father

00:50:51.699 --> 00:50:56.400
 how can it be

00:50:56.400 --> 00:51:00.079
 that when all

00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:00.619
 the fault

00:51:00.619 --> 00:51:01.759
 lies with us

00:51:01.759 --> 00:51:04.019
 all the sin

00:51:04.019 --> 00:51:05.480
 lies with us

00:51:05.480 --> 00:51:07.400
 that you took

00:51:07.400 --> 00:51:08.019
 the initiative

00:51:08.019 --> 00:51:08.859
 to make peace

00:51:08.860 --> 00:51:09.420
 with us

00:51:09.420 --> 00:51:13.140
 how can it be

00:51:13.140 --> 00:51:13.519
 father

00:51:13.519 --> 00:51:13.880
 that

00:51:13.880 --> 00:51:17.000
 that you would

00:51:17.000 --> 00:51:17.460
 give

00:51:17.460 --> 00:51:18.180
 not just

00:51:18.180 --> 00:51:18.579
 your

00:51:18.579 --> 00:51:21.360
 things

00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:24.900
 but your only

00:51:24.900 --> 00:51:25.440
 son

00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:26.640
 Jesus Christ

00:51:26.640 --> 00:51:29.099
 as a peace

00:51:29.099 --> 00:51:29.480
 child

00:51:29.480 --> 00:51:33.519
 so you might

00:51:33.519 --> 00:51:34.539
 make us

00:51:34.539 --> 00:51:36.480
 your children

00:51:36.480 --> 00:51:39.699
 oh lord

00:51:39.699 --> 00:51:40.079
 help us

00:51:40.079 --> 00:51:40.360
 to never

00:51:40.360 --> 00:51:40.860
 lose sight

00:51:40.860 --> 00:51:41.139
 of your

00:51:41.139 --> 00:51:41.519
 amazing

00:51:41.519 --> 00:51:41.920
 grace

00:51:41.920 --> 00:51:44.260
 and help

00:51:44.260 --> 00:51:44.519
 us

00:51:44.519 --> 00:51:45.059
 to take

00:51:45.059 --> 00:51:45.659
 on more

00:51:45.659 --> 00:51:46.079
 and more

00:51:46.079 --> 00:51:46.840
 that family

00:51:46.840 --> 00:51:47.420
 resemblance
