00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.120
 Please open up your Bibles to Matthew chapter 5.

00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:16.980
 We have been in the Beatitudes, which has been an amazing chapter, amazing verses of Scripture.

00:00:17.940 --> 00:00:20.240
 Matthew 5, verses 1 to 12.

00:00:20.339 --> 00:00:26.679
 I'm going to be focusing just on the fifth Beatitude, verse 7, but I will read the whole thing.

00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:28.800
 But let me pray before I do.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:52.439
 Father, we are all sinners in need of mercy.

00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:57.240
 And you have given us so much mercy.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:07.859
 And so we ask God that right now, you would address us from your word.

00:01:07.859 --> 00:01:20.200
 And help us to remember and relish the great mercy that you have shown us in Jesus Christ.

00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:27.680
 And even as we rehearse those truths, want you transform us.

00:01:30.659 --> 00:01:34.680
 Renew our own mercy, the mercy that we show to those around us.

00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:41.740
 Meet with us.

00:01:42.260 --> 00:01:43.640
 In Jesus' name we pray.

00:01:44.060 --> 00:01:44.380
 Amen.

00:01:45.580 --> 00:01:49.160
 If you're able, please stand for the reading of God's word from Matthew 5.

00:01:50.340 --> 00:01:52.300
 I'll read from verse 1 to verse 12.

00:01:52.299 --> 00:02:12.319
전전

00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.979
 Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

00:02:16.739 --> 00:02:20.459
 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:25.079
 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:29.079
 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

00:02:29.900 --> 00:02:33.379
 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:38.219
 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

00:02:38.219 --> 00:02:45.199
 Blessed are you when others revile you, persecute you, and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.659
 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven.

00:02:49.180 --> 00:02:51.740
 For so they persecute the prophets who are before you.

00:02:52.340 --> 00:02:54.639
 This is God's holy and authoritative word. You may be seated.

00:02:58.539 --> 00:03:02.079
 We have come to the pivot point of the Beatitudes.

00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:09.820
 I've mentioned a couple times before that the first four Beatitudes all describe a form of emptiness.

00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:11.740
 Lacking something.

00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:13.280
 Being poor in spirit.

00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:14.300
 Being needy.

00:03:14.580 --> 00:03:15.300
 Being meek.

00:03:15.480 --> 00:03:17.260
 Being hungry and thirsty for righteousness.

00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:18.740
 Mourning something you lack.

00:03:19.420 --> 00:03:23.920
 But we go from needing mercy, people who need mercy in the first four Beatitudes,

00:03:24.180 --> 00:03:26.439
 now to being merciful.

00:03:26.920 --> 00:03:29.140
 Being full of mercy toward others.

00:03:29.139 --> 00:03:33.519
 And the rest of the Beatitudes will be describing Christian fullness.

00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:38.559
 What we are like as God's mercy overflows from our own lives.

00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:43.279
 And so the main point of this message that I want to share with you this evening is that

00:03:43.279 --> 00:03:47.159
 those who have received God's mercy are merciful toward others.

00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:50.199
 And that they will receive mercy in turn.

00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.219
 So first we'll talk about what mercy is.

00:03:53.459 --> 00:03:55.359
 Secondly, how to become full of mercy.

00:03:55.619 --> 00:03:58.899
 And third, we'll talk about who receives mercy.

00:04:00.079 --> 00:04:03.659
 In terms of details, we don't find much in verse 7.

00:04:04.299 --> 00:04:04.799
 It just says,

00:04:05.099 --> 00:04:08.339
 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

00:04:08.699 --> 00:04:14.939
 But mercy, if you trace this theme throughout the scriptures, is manifold.

00:04:15.139 --> 00:04:15.679
 It's variegated.

00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:17.620
 It's very rich with layers of meaning.

00:04:17.620 --> 00:04:22.920
 But first, let's look at the most relevant context in the Gospel of Matthew itself.

00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:31.819
 In Matthew 9, 27, in Matthew 20, verse 30, we see the blind men crying out to Jesus for help,

00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:32.100
 saying,

00:04:32.620 --> 00:04:33.980
 Have mercy on me.

00:04:33.980 --> 00:04:39.920
 We hear a similar cry from a Canaanite woman whose daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.

00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:41.600
 In Matthew 15, 22,

00:04:41.980 --> 00:04:43.780
 Have mercy on me.

00:04:44.620 --> 00:04:49.520
 And then a man whose son is suffering from terrible seizures in Matthew 17, 15, again,

00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:51.220
 Have mercy on me.

00:04:51.740 --> 00:04:54.220
 We see that pattern in the other Gospels as well.

00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:55.460
 A leper cries out,

00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:56.620
 Have mercy on me.

00:04:56.620 --> 00:05:00.420
 So from this pattern of people who cry out for mercy,

00:05:00.540 --> 00:05:04.860
 we can see that mercy is associated with those who are in need.

00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.139
 It belongs to those who need help.

00:05:10.019 --> 00:05:13.620
 Those who are not entitled to something or have earned something,

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:16.699
 but someone who needs mercy nonetheless.

00:05:17.579 --> 00:05:22.639
 That's why the Greek word for alms or charitable giving used in the New Testament

00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.540
 is derived from the same word for mercy.

00:05:25.540 --> 00:05:27.640
 So in Matthew 6, 2-4,

00:05:27.700 --> 00:05:29.640
 when Jesus speaks of giving to the needy,

00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:31.140
 if you translate them more literally,

00:05:31.379 --> 00:05:33.080
 it's doing acts of mercy.

00:05:34.200 --> 00:05:35.640
 So mercy is an expression.

00:05:36.620 --> 00:05:39.340
 Charitable giving is an act of mercy, expression of mercy.

00:05:40.500 --> 00:05:43.640
 So it's the needy who cry out for mercy.

00:05:44.900 --> 00:05:47.400
 Jesus confirms this in Matthew 9, 10-13.

00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:52.540
 The Pharisees criticize Jesus for eating with tax collectors and sinners.

00:05:52.540 --> 00:05:54.200
 And Jesus says,

00:05:54.700 --> 00:06:12.980
 So once again, who are the objects of mercy?

00:06:12.980 --> 00:06:16.140
 It's the sick, not the healthy.

00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:18.980
 It's the sinners, not the righteous.

00:06:19.860 --> 00:06:22.120
 The needy need mercy.

00:06:23.140 --> 00:06:29.439
 To be merciful then is to have compassion for the needy in both your disposition toward them

00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:31.460
 and your deed toward them.

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.319
 In both your attitude and your actions,

00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:36.040
 to have compassion for the needy.

00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:39.460
 In situations where there is physical, material need,

00:06:39.620 --> 00:06:42.720
 the merciful are going to have the impulse to meet that need,

00:06:43.140 --> 00:06:44.840
 tangible ways to help them.

00:06:45.640 --> 00:06:48.500
 In spiritual situations, when there's spiritual need,

00:06:48.580 --> 00:06:49.460
 where there are sinners,

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.900
 the impulse of the merciful will be to forgive and to be gracious.

00:06:53.899 --> 00:06:56.979
 When Jesus says,

00:06:57.339 --> 00:06:59.659
 I desire mercy, not sacrifice,

00:07:00.259 --> 00:07:01.500
 he is contrasting,

00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:03.579
 he's quoting from Hosea 6, verse 6,

00:07:03.919 --> 00:07:07.099
 and he is contrasting genuine inward piety

00:07:07.099 --> 00:07:10.039
 from superficial outward piety,

00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:11.379
 fleeting outward piety.

00:07:11.899 --> 00:07:15.179
 It's the same distinction that Samuel makes in 1 Samuel 15, 22.

00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:16.159
 You may know the story.

00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.500
 When Saul, the king of Israel,

00:07:18.579 --> 00:07:21.560
 was instructed by God to destroy the Amalekites

00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:23.939
 because of their wickedness

00:07:23.939 --> 00:07:27.160
 and to not take any spoils from the war.

00:07:27.740 --> 00:07:31.300
 However, Saul decides that that's too much of a waste.

00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:33.579
 Well, look at all this good livestock,

00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:34.800
 look at all this treasure,

00:07:34.899 --> 00:07:35.720
 look at all this food,

00:07:35.780 --> 00:07:37.439
 and he decides to keep them for himself

00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:39.160
 and for the people.

00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:42.720
 And when Samuel confronts him about his disobedience,

00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:44.399
 Saul deviously says,

00:07:44.779 --> 00:07:46.399
 Oh, no, no, no, I kept all this

00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.220
 so that we could bring it as a sacrifice to God.

00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:53.079
 And then Samuel says,

00:07:53.339 --> 00:07:56.399
 Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices

00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:59.120
 as in obeying the voice of the Lord?

00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.220
 Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice

00:08:03.220 --> 00:08:05.720
 and to listen than the fad of rams.

00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:09.980
 How many times have we paid lip service to God

00:08:09.980 --> 00:08:12.699
 and made outward sacrifices,

00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:14.800
 show of piety,

00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:19.680
 while inwardly our hearts are far from him?

00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:23.420
 Maybe even using these shows of piety

00:08:23.420 --> 00:08:26.500
 as misdirection to distract people's attention

00:08:26.500 --> 00:08:28.060
 from our disobedience.

00:08:28.740 --> 00:08:30.980
 Maybe even seeking to distract God himself.

00:08:32.299 --> 00:08:33.799
 That's what the Pharisees did.

00:08:33.940 --> 00:08:35.659
 On the outside, they were righteous

00:08:35.659 --> 00:08:37.159
 because they were great at keeping up

00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:38.820
 an appearance of conformity,

00:08:38.899 --> 00:08:40.879
 keeping the formalities of rituals,

00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.159
 but they did not truly know God

00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:44.620
 or obey God from the heart.

00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:47.779
 And how do we know that they didn't obey God from the heart?

00:08:47.779 --> 00:08:50.659
 Because they had no mercy towards sinners.

00:08:51.839 --> 00:08:54.299
 In Matthew 23, 23, 24,

00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.179
 Jesus denounces the Pharisees saying,

00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:58.100
 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees,

00:08:58.539 --> 00:09:01.120
 hypocrites, for you tithe mint and dill and cumin

00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.120
 and have neglected the weightier matters of the law,

00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:08.259
 justice and mercy and faithfulness.

00:09:08.620 --> 00:09:10.179
 These you ought to have done

00:09:10.179 --> 00:09:11.899
 without neglecting the others,

00:09:12.419 --> 00:09:14.559
 you blind guides straining out a gnat

00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:15.899
 and swallowing a camel.

00:09:15.899 --> 00:09:21.059
 These Pharisees painstakingly kept the minutiae of the law.

00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:24.299
 They would, we talk about tithing

00:09:24.299 --> 00:09:25.519
 and sometimes people ask me,

00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:28.079
 do you tithe from the net or from the gross?

00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:29.679
 Like, what do you, what do you do?

00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:31.399
 Like, it's kind of like those questions a little bit,

00:09:31.500 --> 00:09:35.159
 but they were tithing 10% of the smallest spices

00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:38.159
 that they used to God.

00:09:38.899 --> 00:09:41.240
 They carefully strained out a gnat

00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:42.360
 from their drinks and foods.

00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:45.960
 The gnat is the smallest insect that caused impurity

00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:47.379
 in Jewish ritual.

00:09:48.460 --> 00:09:50.039
 However, after straining out a gnat,

00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.060
 they turned around and they ate camels,

00:09:52.419 --> 00:09:55.300
 which is the largest unclean animal ceremonially

00:09:55.300 --> 00:09:56.180
 in the Old Testament.

00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:58.300
 They weren't literally eating camels.

00:09:58.399 --> 00:09:59.800
 Jesus is using a figure of speech

00:09:59.800 --> 00:10:01.360
 to say that they care about the minutiae,

00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:03.740
 painstakingly care about the minutiae,

00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.180
 and then they neglect the weightier matters of the law.

00:10:06.179 --> 00:10:08.399
 So what is Jesus saying?

00:10:08.459 --> 00:10:10.179
 He's speaking of priorities, being merciful,

00:10:11.379 --> 00:10:15.120
 showing mercy is the bigger stuff that God cares about.

00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:19.839
 Mercy is one of the weightier matters of the law.

00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:22.459
 You're obeying the small commands,

00:10:22.579 --> 00:10:23.739
 well, good, good for you.

00:10:23.859 --> 00:10:24.879
 Keep doing that,

00:10:25.419 --> 00:10:27.419
 but don't neglect the bigger commands.

00:10:28.579 --> 00:10:30.379
 At the heart of Christian obedience

00:10:30.379 --> 00:10:31.459
 is a heart of mercy.

00:10:32.620 --> 00:10:33.859
 A classic example of mercy

00:10:33.860 --> 00:10:35.539
 is the parable of the Good Samaritan.

00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:37.720
 In Luke 10, 25 to 37,

00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:40.139
 Jesus tells this story of a man

00:10:40.139 --> 00:10:42.919
 who is mugged by a band of robbers,

00:10:43.220 --> 00:10:45.159
 and he is left half dead.

00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:47.639
 But what good luck for him,

00:10:47.700 --> 00:10:49.980
 because a priest happens to be walking by,

00:10:50.060 --> 00:10:51.659
 a minister of the temple of God.

00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.000
 And he sees the man,

00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:56.259
 and after seeing the man in need,

00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:58.700
 he decides that he's going to walk around

00:10:58.700 --> 00:10:59.399
 on the other side.

00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:01.659
 But never fear,

00:11:01.659 --> 00:11:03.519
 because there comes another person

00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:04.779
 and he's a Levite,

00:11:05.299 --> 00:11:07.379
 someone who ministers in the temple as well,

00:11:07.460 --> 00:11:08.539
 assists the priests.

00:11:09.179 --> 00:11:11.439
 If a priest is equivalent to a modern-day pastor,

00:11:12.100 --> 00:11:14.620
 the Levite is equivalent to a modern-day deacon

00:11:14.620 --> 00:11:15.740
 or worship leader.

00:11:17.779 --> 00:11:20.159
 Surely he'll come and help this person in need,

00:11:20.319 --> 00:11:22.579
 but again, the Levite sees the person,

00:11:22.980 --> 00:11:25.939
 and he says that he walks by on the other side.

00:11:25.940 --> 00:11:29.500
 But then, in comes a Samaritan.

00:11:31.100 --> 00:11:33.280
 He's an unlikely hero of the story

00:11:33.280 --> 00:11:36.000
 because the Jews despise Samaritans,

00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:38.680
 because they view them as religious heretics,

00:11:38.900 --> 00:11:41.580
 ethnic half-breeds, and political traitors.

00:11:41.580 --> 00:11:46.960
 And yet, the Samaritan is the one who cares for the man

00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:48.139
 and goes the extra mile.

00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:50.240
 He puts him on his donkey,

00:11:50.400 --> 00:11:51.620
 brings him over to an inn,

00:11:51.800 --> 00:11:53.060
 attends to his wounds,

00:11:53.180 --> 00:11:54.600
 and pays for his stay there

00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:56.420
 until he can fully recover.

00:11:57.700 --> 00:11:59.720
 And then Jesus asks his hearers,

00:11:59.780 --> 00:12:00.700
 after telling his parable,

00:12:00.860 --> 00:12:01.940
 which of these three,

00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:03.600
 the priest, the Levite, and the Samaritan,

00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:05.680
 do you think proved to be a neighbor

00:12:05.680 --> 00:12:07.220
 to the man who fell among the robbers?

00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:08.860
 And a lawyer responds,

00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:11.960
 the one who showed him mercy.

00:12:13.500 --> 00:12:14.600
 And Jesus says to him,

00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:16.759
 you go and do likewise.

00:12:17.800 --> 00:12:20.399
 The priest and the Levite in those days

00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:21.740
 were the ones who were responsible

00:12:21.740 --> 00:12:23.899
 for offering sacrifices in the temple.

00:12:24.800 --> 00:12:26.840
 And yet, they were the very ones

00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:27.700
 who in this parable

00:12:27.700 --> 00:12:30.399
 failed to keep the weightier matters of the law.

00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:34.340
 This is serving in that way

00:12:34.340 --> 00:12:36.660
 as cautionary tales of what Jesus just said

00:12:36.659 --> 00:12:38.019
 in Matthew 9, 13,

00:12:38.199 --> 00:12:41.620
 I desire mercy and not sacrifice.

00:12:42.779 --> 00:12:43.579
 So let's ask ourselves,

00:12:43.699 --> 00:12:46.919
 in what ways do we honor God with our lips

00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:48.559
 while our hearts are far from him?

00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:51.019
 In what ways are we keeping

00:12:51.019 --> 00:12:52.740
 the less important commands

00:12:52.740 --> 00:12:55.399
 but neglecting the more important commands

00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:56.319
 like being merciful?

00:12:57.679 --> 00:12:59.500
 I hesitate to use this example

00:12:59.500 --> 00:13:02.639
 because I do want to encourage you all

00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:04.179
 to show up to worship on time.

00:13:04.179 --> 00:13:05.159
 However,

00:13:05.599 --> 00:13:08.120
 if you are more concerned

00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:10.459
 with showing up to church on time

00:13:10.459 --> 00:13:12.639
 than with being merciful

00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:14.759
 to your spouse and kids,

00:13:15.339 --> 00:13:18.159
 if you are irate

00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:20.079
 and punishing toward them

00:13:20.079 --> 00:13:21.359
 when running late to church,

00:13:22.059 --> 00:13:23.479
 then you are neglecting

00:13:23.479 --> 00:13:25.099
 the weightier matters of the law.

00:13:25.100 --> 00:13:30.399
 If you are more concerned

00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:32.879
 with theological minutiae

00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:36.019
 than being merciful toward the people

00:13:36.019 --> 00:13:37.639
 who disagree with you theologically,

00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:40.040
 if instead of correcting them

00:13:40.040 --> 00:13:41.820
 with gentleness and mercifulness,

00:13:41.860 --> 00:13:43.680
 as it says in 2 Timothy 2, 25,

00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:45.720
 you are haughty and you're demeaning

00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:47.840
 in your discourse with them,

00:13:48.500 --> 00:13:49.759
 then you are neglecting

00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:51.340
 the weightier matters of the law.

00:13:51.340 --> 00:13:54.519
 If you are so invested

00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:56.139
 in pursuing justice

00:13:56.139 --> 00:13:58.300
 or certain social or moral issues

00:13:58.300 --> 00:14:00.720
 that you run roughshod over people

00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:01.740
 and you guilt-truth them

00:14:01.740 --> 00:14:02.759
 and you cancel them

00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:04.019
 and you ruin the reputation

00:14:04.019 --> 00:14:06.060
 of anybody who stands in your way,

00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:07.420
 then you are neglecting

00:14:07.420 --> 00:14:08.820
 the weightier matters of the law.

00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:12.360
 Blessed are the merciful

00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.680
 for they shall receive mercy.

00:14:15.680 --> 00:14:17.860
 We can flesh out this picture of mercy

00:14:17.860 --> 00:14:19.320
 by looking at the example

00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:20.139
 of power excellence,

00:14:20.220 --> 00:14:21.440
 of God himself.

00:14:21.980 --> 00:14:23.480
 This is what Jesus told us to do

00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:24.700
 in Luke 6, 36,

00:14:24.820 --> 00:14:27.100
 be merciful even as your father

00:14:27.100 --> 00:14:27.740
 is merciful.

00:14:28.899 --> 00:14:30.580
 Two different Hebrew words

00:14:30.580 --> 00:14:31.200
 in the Old Testament

00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:33.500
 are often translated as merciful

00:14:33.500 --> 00:14:34.700
 in the Greek translation

00:14:34.700 --> 00:14:35.519
 of the Old Testament.

00:14:36.820 --> 00:14:38.860
 And they are sometimes

00:14:38.860 --> 00:14:40.379
 in alternate translations

00:14:40.379 --> 00:14:41.659
 rendered gracious

00:14:41.659 --> 00:14:43.659
 or steadfast love.

00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:45.420
 Grace and steadfast love.

00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:46.620
 Again, they're related words

00:14:46.620 --> 00:14:47.840
 with the word mercy.

00:14:48.940 --> 00:14:49.700
 The two terms,

00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:51.159
 the words merciful and gracious

00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:53.639
 occur a dozen or so times together,

00:14:53.899 --> 00:14:55.279
 paired together in the Old Testament.

00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:59.519
 And they invariably describe God.

00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:00.820
 God is the one

00:15:00.820 --> 00:15:02.940
 who is gracious and merciful.

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:06.759
 We find this meaning

00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:07.879
 in the Hebrew word

00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:10.799
 for steadfast love and grace.

00:15:11.220 --> 00:15:12.639
 Let's look at a few examples

00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:13.519
 from the Old Testament

00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:14.939
 where it describes

00:15:14.939 --> 00:15:16.759
 specific actions of God

00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:18.939
 that flow from

00:15:18.939 --> 00:15:19.699
 and stem from

00:15:19.699 --> 00:15:22.059
 his merciful nature.

00:15:22.899 --> 00:15:24.579
 It says in Nehemiah 9, 17,

00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:26.600
 that even though the Israelites

00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:28.279
 refused to obey God

00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:29.819
 and they stiffened their necks,

00:15:29.899 --> 00:15:30.899
 meaning they got stubborn

00:15:30.899 --> 00:15:33.139
 instead of letting God direct them,

00:15:33.539 --> 00:15:34.679
 they stiffened their necks

00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:35.500
 and resisted him.

00:15:36.059 --> 00:15:36.860
 God, it says,

00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:38.139
 was ready to forgive,

00:15:39.100 --> 00:15:40.620
 gracious and merciful,

00:15:40.620 --> 00:15:42.580
 slow to anger

00:15:42.580 --> 00:15:44.679
 and abounding in steadfast love

00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:46.580
 and did not forsake them.

00:15:47.700 --> 00:15:49.600
 Because God is merciful,

00:15:49.779 --> 00:15:51.159
 he was ready to forgive.

00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:53.820
 He did not forsake them.

00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:57.379
 2 Chronicles 30, verse 9,

00:15:57.440 --> 00:15:58.240
 enjoins Israelites

00:15:58.240 --> 00:15:59.840
 who have strayed from God

00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:01.060
 to return to him.

00:16:01.580 --> 00:16:03.259
 And how does he try

00:16:03.259 --> 00:16:03.980
 to motivate them

00:16:03.980 --> 00:16:04.919
 to return to him?

00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:05.220
 He says,

00:16:05.220 --> 00:16:06.720
 For the Lord your God

00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:08.840
 is gracious and merciful

00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:10.519
 and will not turn away

00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:11.660
 his face from you.

00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:14.660
 Because God is merciful,

00:16:15.160 --> 00:16:16.360
 he does not turn his face

00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:17.899
 from us when we return to him,

00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:19.160
 even after we have sinned

00:16:19.160 --> 00:16:19.580
 against him

00:16:19.580 --> 00:16:20.580
 and have strayed from him.

00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:23.000
 Jeremiah 3, 12 says,

00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:24.580
 Return, faithless Israel,

00:16:24.680 --> 00:16:25.519
 declares the Lord.

00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:27.399
 I will not look on you

00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:27.940
 in anger,

00:16:28.100 --> 00:16:29.320
 for I am merciful,

00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:30.180
 declares the Lord.

00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:32.360
 I will not be angry forever.

00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:36.620
 Because God is merciful,

00:16:36.740 --> 00:16:37.159
 once again,

00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:39.560
 he will not look on in anger

00:16:39.560 --> 00:16:40.740
 at us forever.

00:16:41.779 --> 00:16:43.600
 He relents in his anger.

00:16:44.940 --> 00:16:47.480
 In spite of our manifold sins

00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:49.960
 and our repeated sins,

00:16:50.539 --> 00:16:52.320
 God, right now,

00:16:52.659 --> 00:16:53.560
 loves us still

00:16:53.560 --> 00:16:56.519
 and forgives all of our iniquity,

00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:58.460
 rebellion, and sin.

00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:00.399
 And what do you call

00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:01.200
 a God like that?

00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:02.800
 We call him merciful.

00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:05.340
 Isn't this so different

00:17:05.340 --> 00:17:05.960
 from the picture

00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:07.039
 that we have of God sometimes?

00:17:07.840 --> 00:17:08.559
 Maybe you walked

00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:09.279
 into church today

00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:11.740
 with guilt, shame, dread,

00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:13.460
 weighing down upon your soul.

00:17:14.740 --> 00:17:15.700
 Do you fear

00:17:15.700 --> 00:17:16.880
 that God will abandon you?

00:17:17.980 --> 00:17:18.980
 Do you fear

00:17:18.980 --> 00:17:20.519
 his angry countenance?

00:17:21.420 --> 00:17:22.620
 Do you fear

00:17:22.620 --> 00:17:23.299
 that you are now

00:17:23.299 --> 00:17:25.000
 beyond the pale of his mercy?

00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:28.940
 You can rest assured

00:17:28.940 --> 00:17:30.860
 Lord, you are not

00:17:30.860 --> 00:17:32.380
 because God is full of mercy.

00:17:33.059 --> 00:17:34.740
 He is ready to forgive.

00:17:35.259 --> 00:17:36.700
 He will not turn his face

00:17:36.700 --> 00:17:37.340
 from you

00:17:37.340 --> 00:17:38.360
 if you return to him.

00:17:38.500 --> 00:17:40.360
 He will not be angry forever.

00:17:42.860 --> 00:17:44.120
 This is an amazing truth.

00:17:44.580 --> 00:17:45.820
 But we also must not

00:17:45.820 --> 00:17:46.440
 misunderstand

00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:47.640
 this precious truth

00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:49.160
 that God is merciful

00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:50.380
 does not mean

00:17:50.380 --> 00:17:51.920
 that he is an indulgent

00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:53.620
 or permissive father.

00:17:53.619 --> 00:17:56.579
 Our God is also

00:17:56.579 --> 00:17:57.659
 the consuming fire.

00:17:58.179 --> 00:17:59.679
 He is the thrice holy God.

00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:01.419
 Sometimes I think we

00:18:01.419 --> 00:18:01.959
 as Christians

00:18:01.959 --> 00:18:03.299
 can have an imbalanced

00:18:03.299 --> 00:18:04.879
 or skewed view of God.

00:18:05.919 --> 00:18:06.879
 Sometimes we

00:18:06.879 --> 00:18:08.119
 overemphasize love

00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:08.619
 and mercy

00:18:08.619 --> 00:18:09.819
 to the neglect

00:18:09.819 --> 00:18:11.000
 of truth and righteousness

00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:12.579
 or the vice versa.

00:18:12.959 --> 00:18:14.359
 Much like how a toddler

00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:15.819
 colors their coloring pages.

00:18:16.619 --> 00:18:16.799
 You know,

00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:17.079
 like,

00:18:17.460 --> 00:18:18.119
 I like blue

00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:19.720
 so everything is blue

00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:20.819
 or I like pink

00:18:20.819 --> 00:18:21.779
 so everything is blue

00:18:21.779 --> 00:18:23.099
 and it doesn't stay

00:18:23.099 --> 00:18:24.299
 within the lines either.

00:18:25.159 --> 00:18:26.159
 And it's only

00:18:26.159 --> 00:18:27.119
 as they mature

00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:28.240
 as artists

00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:29.480
 that they learn

00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:31.000
 to color in nuances

00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:32.379
 and shades

00:18:32.379 --> 00:18:33.659
 and contrast

00:18:33.659 --> 00:18:34.259
 and use

00:18:34.259 --> 00:18:35.500
 complementary colors.

00:18:37.259 --> 00:18:37.619
 Likewise,

00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:38.339
 as we mature

00:18:38.339 --> 00:18:38.919
 as Christians

00:18:38.919 --> 00:18:40.099
 we learn to appreciate

00:18:40.099 --> 00:18:41.259
 and delight in

00:18:41.259 --> 00:18:41.960
 and worship

00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:42.720
 the fullness

00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:44.039
 of God's glory

00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:44.839
 and character.

00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:46.519
 the King James Version

00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:47.579
 renders Psalm 85

00:18:47.579 --> 00:18:48.539
 verse 10 this way.

00:18:49.159 --> 00:18:50.179
 Mercy and truth

00:18:50.179 --> 00:18:51.199
 are met together.

00:18:52.419 --> 00:18:53.599
 Righteousness and peace

00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:54.759
 have kissed each other.

00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:56.679
 That's what God is like.

00:18:58.319 --> 00:18:59.000
 And it looks

00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:00.179
 then that means

00:19:00.179 --> 00:19:01.059
 that's what it looks like

00:19:01.059 --> 00:19:01.459
 for us

00:19:01.459 --> 00:19:02.559
 to be merciful also.

00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:04.959
 Taking our cue from God

00:19:04.959 --> 00:19:05.699
 being merciful

00:19:05.699 --> 00:19:06.579
 does not mean

00:19:06.579 --> 00:19:07.779
 that we never seek

00:19:07.779 --> 00:19:08.579
 or enforce

00:19:08.579 --> 00:19:09.859
 justice or righteousness.

00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:11.879
 Once again

00:19:11.879 --> 00:19:12.579
 20th century

00:19:12.579 --> 00:19:13.220
 Welsh pastor

00:19:13.220 --> 00:19:13.980
 that I've been quoting

00:19:13.980 --> 00:19:14.920
 in every sermon

00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:15.660
 in the Beatitudes

00:19:15.660 --> 00:19:16.160
 so far.

00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:17.299
 I know some of you guys

00:19:17.299 --> 00:19:18.420
 have started a book club

00:19:18.420 --> 00:19:19.180
 to go through

00:19:19.180 --> 00:19:19.620
 the studies

00:19:19.620 --> 00:19:20.740
 in the Sermon on the Mount

00:19:20.740 --> 00:19:21.720
 by D. Martin Lloyd-Jones.

00:19:21.819 --> 00:19:22.720
 I cannot be more proud

00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:23.200
 of you guys.

00:19:24.120 --> 00:19:24.519
 It is

00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:26.160
 started by a Welshman

00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:26.519
 nonetheless.

00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:30.339
 And he writes

00:19:30.339 --> 00:19:30.880
 in his book

00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:32.160
 there are so many

00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:32.819
 people today

00:19:32.819 --> 00:19:33.380
 who think

00:19:33.380 --> 00:19:34.160
 that being merciful

00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:35.360
 means to be easygoing

00:19:35.360 --> 00:19:37.019
 not to see things

00:19:37.019 --> 00:19:38.059
 or if we do see them

00:19:38.059 --> 00:19:38.599
 to pretend

00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:39.380
 we have not.

00:19:40.019 --> 00:19:40.880
 That of course

00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:41.960
 is a particular danger

00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:42.920
 in an age like this

00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:43.700
 which does not believe

00:19:43.700 --> 00:19:44.580
 in law or discipline

00:19:44.580 --> 00:19:45.519
 and in a sense

00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:46.200
 does not believe

00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:46.680
 in justice

00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:47.279
 or righteousness.

00:19:48.100 --> 00:19:49.120
 The idea today

00:19:49.120 --> 00:19:50.039
 is that man

00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:50.920
 should absolutely

00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:51.860
 be free-minded

00:19:51.860 --> 00:19:52.980
 that he has the right

00:19:52.980 --> 00:19:54.200
 to do just what he likes.

00:19:54.740 --> 00:19:55.740
 The merciful person

00:19:55.740 --> 00:19:56.480
 many people think

00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:57.560
 is one who smiles

00:19:57.560 --> 00:19:58.320
 at transgression

00:19:58.320 --> 00:19:59.039
 and law-breaking.

00:19:59.460 --> 00:19:59.960
 He says

00:19:59.960 --> 00:20:00.680
 what does it matter?

00:20:00.860 --> 00:20:01.600
 Let's carry on.

00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:03.140
 He is a flabby

00:20:03.140 --> 00:20:03.800
 kind of person

00:20:03.800 --> 00:20:05.019
 that's that word again

00:20:05.019 --> 00:20:06.120
 easygoing

00:20:06.120 --> 00:20:07.220
 easy to get on with

00:20:07.220 --> 00:20:08.640
 to whom it does not matter

00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:09.240
 whether laws

00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:10.160
 are broken or not

00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:11.300
 who is not concerned

00:20:11.299 --> 00:20:12.180
 about keeping them.

00:20:13.579 --> 00:20:14.680
 Only a person

00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:16.159
 who upholds righteousness

00:20:16.159 --> 00:20:17.879
 can be truly merciful.

00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:19.279
 Let me explain.

00:20:19.700 --> 00:20:21.159
 Showing mercy to sinners

00:20:21.159 --> 00:20:22.539
 and forgiving sin

00:20:22.539 --> 00:20:23.579
 is hard work

00:20:23.579 --> 00:20:24.599
 and sometimes

00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:25.680
 it's painful work

00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:27.579
 but being permissive

00:20:27.579 --> 00:20:28.220
 towards sinners

00:20:28.220 --> 00:20:29.079
 and condoning

00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:30.279
 or ignoring sin

00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:31.159
 is easy

00:20:31.159 --> 00:20:32.359
 and it's painless.

00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:34.680
 I read a remarkable

00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:35.159
 concession

00:20:35.159 --> 00:20:36.680
 from a New York Times

00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:37.159
 columnist

00:20:37.159 --> 00:20:38.279
 named Nicholas Kristof

00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:38.859
 this weekend.

00:20:40.660 --> 00:20:41.460
 His article

00:20:41.460 --> 00:20:42.019
 was entitled

00:20:42.019 --> 00:20:42.619
 We Thought

00:20:42.619 --> 00:20:43.799
 We Were Compassionate

00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:45.500
 But We Were Too Permissive.

00:20:46.399 --> 00:20:47.200
 He writes

00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:48.539
 As a good liberal

00:20:48.539 --> 00:20:49.519
 I used to oppose

00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:50.299
 arresting people

00:20:50.299 --> 00:20:51.220
 for using drugs.

00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:52.720
 They need health care

00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:53.599
 not handcuffs

00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:54.019
 I thought.

00:20:54.660 --> 00:20:55.000
 But then

00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:55.859
 to my surprise

00:20:55.859 --> 00:20:56.480
 and dismay

00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:57.460
 I found myself

00:20:57.460 --> 00:20:57.879
 praying

00:20:57.879 --> 00:20:58.779
 that my old pal

00:20:58.779 --> 00:20:59.399
 Drew Goff

00:20:59.399 --> 00:21:00.079
 would be arrested.

00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:02.139
 Drew 40 years old

00:21:02.139 --> 00:21:02.720
 was homeless

00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:03.740
 using fentanyl

00:21:03.740 --> 00:21:04.700
 and also selling it.

00:21:04.980 --> 00:21:05.519
 His wife

00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:06.139
 who was with him

00:21:06.139 --> 00:21:06.700
 was pregnant

00:21:06.700 --> 00:21:07.600
 and had overdosed

00:21:07.600 --> 00:21:08.620
 27 times

00:21:08.620 --> 00:21:09.360
 including twice

00:21:09.360 --> 00:21:10.140
 in a single day.

00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:11.420
 It seemed only

00:21:11.420 --> 00:21:12.120
 a matter of time

00:21:12.120 --> 00:21:12.580
 before Drew

00:21:12.580 --> 00:21:13.380
 killed himself

00:21:13.380 --> 00:21:14.360
 or one of his customers.

00:21:15.059 --> 00:21:15.660
 So Drew's mom

00:21:15.660 --> 00:21:16.380
 and I confided

00:21:16.380 --> 00:21:16.920
 to each other

00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:17.400
 our hope

00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:18.200
 that he would end up

00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:19.240
 in the relative safety

00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:19.740
 of prison

00:21:19.740 --> 00:21:20.720
 and get treatment there.

00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:22.080
 It's the only way

00:21:22.080 --> 00:21:22.840
 to save his life

00:21:22.840 --> 00:21:24.000
 his mom said wearily.

00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:25.160
 And in the end

00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:26.120
 Drew himself agreed.

00:21:26.860 --> 00:21:27.680
 Drew's most recent

00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:28.539
 tumble into addiction

00:21:28.539 --> 00:21:29.340
 came in part

00:21:29.340 --> 00:21:30.480
 because of a permissive

00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:31.299
 liberal culture

00:21:31.299 --> 00:21:32.059
 toward drugs

00:21:32.059 --> 00:21:32.880
 on the west coast.

00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:34.299
 This was meant

00:21:34.299 --> 00:21:35.400
 to be compassionate

00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:36.980
 but it almost

00:21:36.980 --> 00:21:37.660
 killed him

00:21:37.660 --> 00:21:38.660
 and has killed

00:21:38.660 --> 00:21:39.840
 many of my other friends.

00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:43.080
 You see

00:21:43.080 --> 00:21:44.060
 being merciful

00:21:44.060 --> 00:21:45.620
 and compassionate

00:21:45.620 --> 00:21:47.360
 is not the same thing

00:21:47.360 --> 00:21:48.360
 as being permissive

00:21:48.360 --> 00:21:49.180
 and indulgent.

00:21:50.580 --> 00:21:51.960
 Maybe you're really good

00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:52.620
 at overlooking

00:21:52.620 --> 00:21:53.519
 the sins of others

00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:55.700
 but maybe you're

00:21:55.700 --> 00:21:56.540
 too good.

00:21:58.680 --> 00:21:59.759
 Maybe others

00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:01.080
 sin against God

00:22:01.080 --> 00:22:02.080
 actually don't

00:22:02.080 --> 00:22:02.860
 grieve you

00:22:02.860 --> 00:22:03.519
 at all.

00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:05.139
 maybe you don't

00:22:05.139 --> 00:22:06.279
 actually care

00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:07.039
 about sin.

00:22:07.779 --> 00:22:09.099
 If that's the case

00:22:09.099 --> 00:22:09.859
 you are not

00:22:09.859 --> 00:22:10.799
 merciful.

00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:12.279
 You're permissive.

00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:13.519
 You're not

00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:14.240
 compassionate.

00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:15.539
 You're not

00:22:15.539 --> 00:22:16.099
 compassionate

00:22:16.099 --> 00:22:16.599
 toward sinners.

00:22:16.700 --> 00:22:17.619
 You are complicit

00:22:17.619 --> 00:22:18.240
 with sinners.

00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:21.660
 Psalm 119

00:22:21.660 --> 00:22:22.339
 136

00:22:22.339 --> 00:22:22.779
 says this

00:22:22.779 --> 00:22:24.079
 My eyes shed

00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:25.599
 stream of tears

00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:26.900
 because people

00:22:26.900 --> 00:22:27.839
 do not keep

00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:28.420
 your law.

00:22:30.059 --> 00:22:31.200
 It's only people

00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:32.680
 who mourn sin

00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:33.539
 who can truly

00:22:33.539 --> 00:22:34.420
 be merciful

00:22:34.420 --> 00:22:35.140
 toward sinners.

00:22:37.080 --> 00:22:37.980
 How then

00:22:37.980 --> 00:22:38.279
 do we

00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:38.860
 simultaneously

00:22:38.860 --> 00:22:39.779
 pursue justice

00:22:39.779 --> 00:22:40.420
 and righteousness

00:22:40.420 --> 00:22:41.880
 but also be merciful?

00:22:43.360 --> 00:22:44.279
 I don't think

00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:45.819
 we can come up

00:22:45.819 --> 00:22:46.779
 from Scripture

00:22:46.779 --> 00:22:48.039
 a rigid rule

00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:49.500
 that we can apply

00:22:49.500 --> 00:22:50.880
 to every situation

00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:51.900
 every single situation.

00:22:52.360 --> 00:22:53.640
 I think the answer

00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:54.660
 is to mingle

00:22:54.660 --> 00:22:55.880
 justice and mercy

00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:56.640
 according to

00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:57.740
 Scripture informed

00:22:57.740 --> 00:22:58.740
 and Spirit led

00:22:58.740 --> 00:22:59.480
 discernment

00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:00.059
 and wisdom.

00:23:01.019 --> 00:23:01.720
 Let's think of

00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:02.740
 some specific examples.

00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:05.140
 Do merciful employers

00:23:05.140 --> 00:23:06.700
 ever fire

00:23:06.700 --> 00:23:07.579
 incompetent

00:23:07.579 --> 00:23:08.200
 and delinquent

00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:08.880
 employees?

00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:11.940
 Of course they do.

00:23:12.900 --> 00:23:14.000
 If they didn't

00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:14.880
 then they would not

00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:15.559
 be good managers

00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:16.339
 and the company

00:23:16.339 --> 00:23:16.799
 would suffer.

00:23:16.900 --> 00:23:17.299
 They would not

00:23:17.299 --> 00:23:17.779
 be faithful

00:23:17.779 --> 00:23:18.380
 in their work

00:23:18.380 --> 00:23:18.720
 and they would

00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:19.680
 not meet their goals

00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:20.319
 and the company

00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:20.860
 would cease

00:23:20.860 --> 00:23:21.960
 to be a public service.

00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:25.579
 But merciful employers

00:23:25.579 --> 00:23:26.360
 might give

00:23:26.360 --> 00:23:27.539
 that employee

00:23:27.539 --> 00:23:28.420
 another chance.

00:23:28.420 --> 00:23:30.640
 that employer

00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:32.000
 might use

00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:32.620
 what is in

00:23:32.620 --> 00:23:34.140
 his or her power

00:23:34.140 --> 00:23:35.120
 to help the employee

00:23:35.120 --> 00:23:35.580
 to grow

00:23:35.580 --> 00:23:36.640
 and improve

00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:37.440
 and perform better.

00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:40.920
 Do merciful parents

00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:42.060
 ever discipline

00:23:42.060 --> 00:23:42.720
 their children

00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:44.120
 their disobedient children?

00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:46.340
 If they are obedient

00:23:46.340 --> 00:23:46.940
 to the Scriptures

00:23:46.940 --> 00:23:47.960
 yes they will

00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:49.759
 but they're not going

00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:50.660
 to be hardened

00:23:50.660 --> 00:23:51.920
 disciplinarians.

00:23:52.420 --> 00:23:53.120
 They'll have

00:23:53.120 --> 00:23:54.259
 a merciful posture.

00:23:54.960 --> 00:23:55.700
 They're not going

00:23:55.700 --> 00:23:56.759
 to punish

00:23:56.759 --> 00:23:57.819
 every offense

00:23:57.819 --> 00:23:58.559
 nor be harsh

00:23:58.559 --> 00:23:59.299
 with their children

00:23:59.299 --> 00:24:00.400
 or provoke them

00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:01.000
 to anger

00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:01.460
 as it says

00:24:01.460 --> 00:24:02.420
 in Ephesians 6.4.

00:24:02.879 --> 00:24:03.740
 They will be firm

00:24:03.740 --> 00:24:04.720
 yet gracious.

00:24:05.259 --> 00:24:06.019
 They will teach

00:24:06.019 --> 00:24:07.039
 and uphold righteousness

00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:07.980
 and yet they will

00:24:07.980 --> 00:24:09.039
 also show mercy

00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:09.680
 to their children

00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:10.460
 so that they can

00:24:10.460 --> 00:24:11.480
 represent God

00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:11.879
 to them.

00:24:11.980 --> 00:24:12.980
 God who is described

00:24:12.980 --> 00:24:14.140
 as the Father

00:24:14.140 --> 00:24:14.799
 of mercies

00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:15.400
 and the God

00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:16.359
 of all comfort

00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:17.879
 in 2 Corinthians 1.3.

00:24:19.339 --> 00:24:20.799
 Do merciful pastors

00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:22.779
 ever excommunicate

00:24:22.779 --> 00:24:24.200
 unrepentant church members?

00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:27.460
 Yes, but they will not

00:24:27.460 --> 00:24:28.620
 excommunicate members

00:24:28.620 --> 00:24:30.580
 for every little sin

00:24:30.580 --> 00:24:33.100
 nor will they be hasty

00:24:33.100 --> 00:24:33.920
 to excommunicate

00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:34.559
 church members.

00:24:34.860 --> 00:24:35.759
 If they are merciful

00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:36.759
 they will patiently

00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:37.819
 endure evil

00:24:37.819 --> 00:24:38.759
 they will exhort

00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:40.400
 and entreat earnestly

00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:40.420
!

00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:41.860
 And if there is still

00:24:41.860 --> 00:24:42.700
 unrepentance

00:24:42.700 --> 00:24:44.000
 they will excommunicate

00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:44.880
 with tears.

00:24:46.940 --> 00:24:48.960
 Do merciful police officers

00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:49.799
 and lawyers

00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:50.980
 and judges

00:24:50.980 --> 00:24:52.640
 ever prosecute

00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:54.040
 and sentence people.

00:24:54.600 --> 00:24:55.440
 Of course they do.

00:24:56.780 --> 00:24:57.440
 If they didn't

00:24:57.440 --> 00:24:58.700
 we'd have a lawless society.

00:25:00.280 --> 00:25:01.580
 But if they are merciful

00:25:01.580 --> 00:25:02.960
 they won't press

00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:04.620
 every single case.

00:25:07.300 --> 00:25:08.200
 Some of you guys

00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:09.140
 have been pulled over

00:25:09.140 --> 00:25:10.040
 for speeding.

00:25:11.040 --> 00:25:11.900
 I know this

00:25:11.900 --> 00:25:12.620
 because it comes up

00:25:12.620 --> 00:25:13.480
 in the children's ministry

00:25:13.480 --> 00:25:14.120
 vetting process.

00:25:16.300 --> 00:25:17.259
 I will not

00:25:17.259 --> 00:25:19.100
 make it public

00:25:19.100 --> 00:25:19.500
 to anybody.

00:25:19.500 --> 00:25:23.480
 but when you do

00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:25.519
 sometimes you have

00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:26.400
 gotten a ticket

00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:27.339
 from a police officer

00:25:27.339 --> 00:25:30.119
 but maybe other times

00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:30.920
 you got pulled over

00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:31.779
 and the police officer

00:25:31.779 --> 00:25:32.799
 just gave you a warning

00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:34.180
 and didn't give you

00:25:34.180 --> 00:25:34.460
 a ticket

00:25:34.460 --> 00:25:35.299
 and let you off.

00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:36.339
 It's happened to me before.

00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:39.180
 You received mercy.

00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:43.839
 A judge in court

00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:44.799
 has to give everyone

00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:46.059
 equal justice under law

00:25:46.059 --> 00:25:47.299
 but he must be

00:25:47.299 --> 00:25:48.240
 impartial

00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:49.220
 and unbiased

00:25:49.220 --> 00:25:50.120
 but if he is merciful

00:25:50.120 --> 00:25:50.859
 he might use

00:25:50.859 --> 00:25:52.039
 his discretion

00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:52.720
 sometimes

00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:54.420
 when he has

00:25:54.420 --> 00:25:54.799
 the latitude

00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:56.380
 to lessen the sentence

00:25:56.380 --> 00:25:57.440
 reduce the fines

00:25:57.440 --> 00:25:58.079
 or dismiss

00:25:58.079 --> 00:25:59.039
 a minor charge

00:25:59.039 --> 00:25:59.920
 particularly when

00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:00.480
 the defendant

00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:01.980
 is repentant

00:26:01.980 --> 00:26:03.559
 or it's a first time

00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:03.920
 offense

00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:04.339
 where there are

00:26:04.339 --> 00:26:05.319
 other extenuating

00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:06.380
 circumstances.

00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:10.140
 Sometimes we're going

00:26:10.140 --> 00:26:10.799
 to give people

00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:11.660
 what they deserve.

00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:13.299
 That's justice.

00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:14.700
 Other times

00:26:14.700 --> 00:26:15.400
 we're going to

00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:16.920
 spare people

00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:17.940
 what they deserve

00:26:17.940 --> 00:26:19.440
 and that's mercy.

00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:22.420
 The Bible does not

00:26:22.420 --> 00:26:22.860
 give us

00:26:22.860 --> 00:26:23.900
 an exhaustive list

00:26:23.900 --> 00:26:25.060
 of do's and don'ts

00:26:25.060 --> 00:26:26.080
 about how to be merciful

00:26:26.080 --> 00:26:27.500
 in every single circumstance

00:26:27.500 --> 00:26:28.200
 and I think that's

00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:28.680
 for the better.

00:26:29.740 --> 00:26:30.600
 Notice how the

00:26:30.600 --> 00:26:31.259
 fifth beatitude

00:26:31.259 --> 00:26:31.980
 is phrased.

00:26:32.120 --> 00:26:32.820
 Like the rest

00:26:32.820 --> 00:26:33.440
 of the beatitudes

00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:33.980
 it speaks

00:26:33.980 --> 00:26:34.860
 not primarily

00:26:34.860 --> 00:26:35.980
 of what we do

00:26:35.980 --> 00:26:37.500
 but of who we are

00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:40.300
 because if we are

00:26:40.300 --> 00:26:40.920
 merciful

00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:42.160
 then we will

00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:42.779
 show mercy

00:26:42.779 --> 00:26:43.380
 and we will know

00:26:43.380 --> 00:26:44.200
 how to respond

00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:44.900
 in the situations

00:26:44.900 --> 00:26:46.900
 that come to us

00:26:46.900 --> 00:26:49.080
 because we have

00:26:49.080 --> 00:26:49.660
 been transformed

00:26:49.660 --> 00:26:50.779
 by the gospel

00:26:50.779 --> 00:26:51.559
 of Jesus Christ

00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:52.700
 from the inside out.

00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:55.160
 I've already shown

00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:55.920
 my hand here

00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:56.580
 by saying that

00:26:56.580 --> 00:26:58.080
 but with having

00:26:58.080 --> 00:26:59.180
 defined what mercy

00:26:59.180 --> 00:26:59.900
 is let's not talk

00:26:59.900 --> 00:27:00.840
 about how to become

00:27:00.840 --> 00:27:01.620
 full of mercy.

00:27:02.700 --> 00:27:03.680
 Again like the

00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:04.340
 other beatitudes

00:27:04.340 --> 00:27:05.360
 this is not something

00:27:05.360 --> 00:27:07.240
 that we can attain

00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:08.500
 apart from God

00:27:08.500 --> 00:27:09.680
 or apart from Christ.

00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:10.779
 These are all

00:27:10.779 --> 00:27:11.900
 divinely wrought

00:27:11.900 --> 00:27:13.519
 and spirit born traits

00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:16.160
 their spiritual virtues

00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:17.059
 enabled by God

00:27:17.059 --> 00:27:18.599
 and here's the key

00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:19.639
 to becoming merciful.

00:27:20.539 --> 00:27:21.519
 Ephesians 4.32

00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:22.599
 says be kind

00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:23.359
 to one another

00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:24.940
 tender hearted

00:27:24.940 --> 00:27:26.379
 forgiving one another

00:27:26.379 --> 00:27:28.900
 as God in Christ

00:27:28.900 --> 00:27:29.839
 forgave you.

00:27:30.879 --> 00:27:32.299
 How do we cultivate

00:27:32.299 --> 00:27:33.940
 mercifulness

00:27:33.940 --> 00:27:34.700
 kindness

00:27:34.700 --> 00:27:36.019
 tender heartedness

00:27:36.019 --> 00:27:36.500
 forgiveness

00:27:36.500 --> 00:27:39.920
 by receiving first

00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:40.799
 God's mercy

00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:41.879
 in Jesus Christ.

00:27:42.500 --> 00:27:43.379
 He forgave us.

00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:46.119
 You see this again

00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:47.759
 in Colossians 3.12-13

00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:48.379
 put on then

00:27:48.379 --> 00:27:49.359
 as God's chosen ones

00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:50.180
 holy and beloved

00:27:50.180 --> 00:27:51.980
 compassionate hearts

00:27:51.980 --> 00:27:53.279
 or merciful hearts

00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:53.980
 kindness

00:27:53.980 --> 00:27:54.740
 humility

00:27:54.740 --> 00:27:55.599
 meekness

00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:56.539
 and patience

00:27:56.539 --> 00:27:57.740
 bearing with one another

00:27:57.740 --> 00:27:59.079
 and if one has a complaint

00:27:59.079 --> 00:27:59.680
 against another

00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:00.960
 forgiving each other.

00:28:02.539 --> 00:28:03.480
 The list

00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:04.660
 very closely resembles

00:28:04.660 --> 00:28:05.359
 the beatitudes

00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:05.660
 right?

00:28:05.819 --> 00:28:06.299
 Meekness

00:28:06.299 --> 00:28:06.879
 humility

00:28:06.879 --> 00:28:08.220
 compassionate hearts

00:28:08.220 --> 00:28:08.759
 mercy

00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:10.099
 and the key

00:28:10.099 --> 00:28:11.180
 to obeying that command

00:28:11.180 --> 00:28:12.099
 again it says

00:28:12.099 --> 00:28:13.139
 later in that verse

00:28:13.140 --> 00:28:14.220
 as the Lord

00:28:14.220 --> 00:28:15.280
 has forgiven you

00:28:15.280 --> 00:28:16.060
 so you also

00:28:16.060 --> 00:28:16.960
 must forgive.

00:28:18.500 --> 00:28:19.220
 Once again

00:28:19.220 --> 00:28:20.200
 it's by receiving

00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:21.860
 and remembering

00:28:21.860 --> 00:28:23.040
 the mercy of God

00:28:23.040 --> 00:28:23.740
 that we become

00:28:23.740 --> 00:28:24.600
 merciful people.

00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:26.720
 We find this principle

00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:27.900
 all over the New Testament

00:28:27.900 --> 00:28:29.280
 in 1 John 4

00:28:29.280 --> 00:28:30.140
 it commends us

00:28:30.140 --> 00:28:31.040
 to love our brothers

00:28:31.040 --> 00:28:31.980
 and sisters in Christ

00:28:31.980 --> 00:28:32.600
 but how

00:28:32.600 --> 00:28:33.640
 do we love our brothers

00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:34.440
 and sisters in Christ?

00:28:34.540 --> 00:28:35.020
 It tells us

00:28:35.020 --> 00:28:36.100
 in 1 John 4.19

00:28:36.100 --> 00:28:37.160
 we love

00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:38.000
 because God

00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:39.180
 first loved us

00:28:39.180 --> 00:28:40.720
 in this

00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:41.240
 is love

00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:42.039
 not that we

00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:42.920
 have loved God

00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:43.539
 but that he

00:28:43.539 --> 00:28:44.340
 loved us

00:28:44.340 --> 00:28:45.400
 and sent his son

00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:46.460
 to be the propitiation

00:28:46.460 --> 00:28:47.240
 for our sins.

00:28:48.019 --> 00:28:48.279
 Beloved

00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:49.640
 if God so loved us

00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:50.680
 we also ought to

00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:51.580
 love one another.

00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:54.160
 The greatest mercy

00:28:54.160 --> 00:28:54.720
 that God

00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:55.779
 has ever shown us

00:28:55.779 --> 00:28:56.860
 is in the sending

00:28:56.860 --> 00:28:57.799
 of his only son

00:28:57.799 --> 00:28:58.539
 Jesus Christ

00:28:58.539 --> 00:28:59.720
 to die on the cross

00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:00.400
 for our sins.

00:29:01.259 --> 00:29:01.900
 We have all

00:29:01.900 --> 00:29:02.900
 sinned against God.

00:29:03.460 --> 00:29:04.120
 We have all

00:29:04.120 --> 00:29:05.160
 had pride

00:29:05.160 --> 00:29:05.940
 in our hearts.

00:29:05.940 --> 00:29:06.759
 We have made

00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:07.500
 ourselves

00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:08.940
 gods and lords

00:29:08.940 --> 00:29:09.799
 over our own lives

00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:10.559
 rather than submitting

00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:11.360
 to God

00:29:11.360 --> 00:29:12.759
 and worshipping God.

00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:14.720
 In political terms

00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:15.299
 we call that

00:29:15.299 --> 00:29:15.799
 treason

00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:17.420
 rebellion.

00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:19.460
 God could have

00:29:19.460 --> 00:29:20.640
 condemned us

00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:21.440
 for our sin

00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:22.160
 and he could have

00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:23.039
 damned us

00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:23.840
 for eternity

00:29:23.840 --> 00:29:24.740
 in hell

00:29:24.740 --> 00:29:25.880
 and that would have

00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:26.480
 been justice.

00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:29.299
 That's what man

00:29:29.299 --> 00:29:29.820
 would have done

00:29:29.820 --> 00:29:30.460
 in his place.

00:29:31.160 --> 00:29:32.220
 But praise be to God

00:29:32.220 --> 00:29:32.920
 that he is God

00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:33.620
 and not man

00:29:33.620 --> 00:29:35.240
 because instead

00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:36.299
 when he saw us

00:29:36.299 --> 00:29:36.980
 in our sin

00:29:36.980 --> 00:29:37.900
 and in our misery

00:29:37.900 --> 00:29:38.620
 his heart

00:29:38.620 --> 00:29:39.339
 welled up

00:29:39.339 --> 00:29:40.019
 with pity

00:29:40.019 --> 00:29:40.880
 and he had

00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:42.019
 compassion on us.

00:29:43.160 --> 00:29:43.660
 God says

00:29:43.660 --> 00:29:44.500
 in Hosea 11

00:29:44.500 --> 00:29:45.160
 8-9

00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:46.380
 my heart

00:29:46.380 --> 00:29:47.299
 recoils

00:29:47.299 --> 00:29:48.339
 within me

00:29:48.339 --> 00:29:49.940
 my compassion

00:29:49.940 --> 00:29:50.980
 grows warm

00:29:50.980 --> 00:29:51.620
 and tender

00:29:51.620 --> 00:29:53.079
 I will not

00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:53.880
 execute my

00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:54.599
 burning anger

00:29:54.599 --> 00:29:56.140
 I will not

00:29:56.140 --> 00:29:57.180
 again destroy

00:29:57.180 --> 00:29:57.779
 Ephraim

00:29:57.779 --> 00:29:59.440
 for I am God

00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:00.660
 and not a man

00:30:00.660 --> 00:30:01.960
 the Holy One

00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:02.539
 in your midst

00:30:02.539 --> 00:30:03.279
 and I will not

00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:04.059
 come in wrath.

00:30:05.240 --> 00:30:07.380
 It's like man

00:30:07.380 --> 00:30:08.599
 to be vindictive

00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:09.940
 and vengeful

00:30:09.940 --> 00:30:10.980
 it is like God

00:30:10.980 --> 00:30:11.680
 to be merciful.

00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:15.359
 Instead of coming

00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:15.980
 in wrath

00:30:15.980 --> 00:30:16.839
 what does it say

00:30:16.839 --> 00:30:17.400
 in Luke 1

00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:17.960
 7-8

00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:19.000
 describing Jesus'

00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:19.900
 coming as the

00:30:19.900 --> 00:30:20.460
 sunrise

00:30:20.460 --> 00:30:21.539
 the sunrise

00:30:21.539 --> 00:30:22.640
 visited us

00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:23.460
 from on high

00:30:23.460 --> 00:30:24.240
 why?

00:30:24.779 --> 00:30:25.299
 Because

00:30:25.299 --> 00:30:26.420
 of the tender

00:30:26.420 --> 00:30:27.460
 mercy

00:30:27.460 --> 00:30:28.740
 of our God

00:30:28.740 --> 00:30:30.240
 the tender

00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:30.900
 mercy

00:30:30.900 --> 00:30:31.579
 of our God

00:30:31.579 --> 00:30:33.099
 you have

00:30:33.099 --> 00:30:33.699
 all heard

00:30:33.699 --> 00:30:34.199
 and know

00:30:34.199 --> 00:30:34.599
 and love

00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:35.279
 Ephesians 2

00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:35.819
 4-5

00:30:35.819 --> 00:30:36.519
 but God

00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:37.579
 being rich

00:30:37.579 --> 00:30:38.240
 in mercy

00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:39.259
 because of

00:30:39.259 --> 00:30:39.659
 the great

00:30:39.659 --> 00:30:40.220
 love with

00:30:40.220 --> 00:30:40.599
 which he

00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:41.199
 loved us

00:30:41.199 --> 00:30:41.939
 even when

00:30:41.939 --> 00:30:42.259
 we were

00:30:42.259 --> 00:30:42.559
 dead

00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:42.799
 in our

00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:43.299
 trespasses

00:30:43.299 --> 00:30:43.720
 made us

00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:44.259
 alive

00:30:44.259 --> 00:30:44.679
 together

00:30:44.679 --> 00:30:45.299
 with Christ

00:30:45.299 --> 00:30:46.240
 by grace

00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:46.599
 you have

00:30:46.599 --> 00:30:47.179
 been saved.

00:30:48.139 --> 00:30:48.619
 It's

00:30:48.619 --> 00:30:49.059
 God's

00:30:49.059 --> 00:30:49.519
 tender

00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:50.000
 mercy

00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:50.439
 his

00:30:50.439 --> 00:30:51.159
 wealth

00:30:51.159 --> 00:30:51.960
 of mercy

00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:52.480
 richness

00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:53.159
 in mercy

00:30:53.159 --> 00:30:53.779
 and his

00:30:53.779 --> 00:30:54.199
 great

00:30:54.199 --> 00:30:54.619
 love

00:30:54.619 --> 00:30:55.099
 that's

00:30:55.099 --> 00:30:55.819
 the reason

00:30:55.819 --> 00:30:56.960
 God sent

00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:57.240
 Jesus'

00:30:57.419 --> 00:30:57.919
 only son

00:30:57.919 --> 00:30:58.339
 to die

00:30:58.339 --> 00:30:58.759
 on the

00:30:58.759 --> 00:30:59.000
 cross

00:30:59.000 --> 00:30:59.319
 for us

00:30:59.319 --> 00:30:59.759
 to redeem

00:30:59.759 --> 00:30:59.960
 us

00:30:59.960 --> 00:31:00.319
 from

00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:00.779
 death

00:31:00.779 --> 00:31:02.500
 and what

00:31:02.500 --> 00:31:02.819
 did we

00:31:02.819 --> 00:31:03.200
 bring to

00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:03.599
 the table?

00:31:05.900 --> 00:31:06.720
 We brought

00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:07.539
 no worth

00:31:07.539 --> 00:31:08.879
 no merit

00:31:08.879 --> 00:31:10.019
 it doesn't

00:31:10.019 --> 00:31:10.400
 say that

00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:10.900
 God made

00:31:10.900 --> 00:31:11.299
 us alive

00:31:11.299 --> 00:31:11.619
 together

00:31:11.619 --> 00:31:12.339
 with Christ

00:31:12.339 --> 00:31:13.519
 while we

00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:13.819
 were

00:31:13.819 --> 00:31:14.599
 sincerely

00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:15.259
 pursuing

00:31:15.259 --> 00:31:15.599
 him

00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:16.240
 and trying

00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:16.759
 to please

00:31:16.759 --> 00:31:17.079
 him

00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:19.079
 no it

00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:19.420
 says

00:31:19.420 --> 00:31:20.019
 that God

00:31:20.019 --> 00:31:20.379
 made us

00:31:20.379 --> 00:31:20.640
 alive

00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:20.940
 together

00:31:20.940 --> 00:31:21.539
 with Christ

00:31:21.539 --> 00:31:22.160
 even

00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:22.799
 when

00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:23.319
 we were

00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:23.740
 dead

00:31:23.740 --> 00:31:24.319
 in our

00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:24.900
 trespass

00:31:24.900 --> 00:31:26.519
 that's

00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:26.759
 why

00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:27.000
 it's

00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:27.559
 mercy

00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:29.099
 remember

00:31:29.099 --> 00:31:29.259
 our

00:31:29.259 --> 00:31:29.640
 definition

00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:29.980
 to be

00:31:29.980 --> 00:31:30.480
 merciful

00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:30.879
 is to

00:31:30.879 --> 00:31:31.019
 have

00:31:31.019 --> 00:31:31.619
 compassion

00:31:31.619 --> 00:31:32.039
 for the

00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:32.579
 needy

00:31:32.579 --> 00:31:33.059
 in

00:31:33.059 --> 00:31:33.599
 disposition

00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:33.940
 and

00:31:33.940 --> 00:31:34.200
 deed

00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:35.200
 if we

00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:35.619
 in some

00:31:35.619 --> 00:31:35.940
 way

00:31:35.940 --> 00:31:36.519
 deserve

00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:37.039
 to be

00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:37.500
 saved

00:31:37.500 --> 00:31:38.140
 it would

00:31:38.140 --> 00:31:38.519
 not be

00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:38.900
 mercy

00:31:38.900 --> 00:31:39.220
 it would

00:31:39.220 --> 00:31:39.339
 be

00:31:39.339 --> 00:31:39.740
 merit

00:31:39.740 --> 00:31:41.480
 salvation

00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:41.920
 then would

00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:42.299
 be a

00:31:42.299 --> 00:31:42.799
 reward

00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:43.299
 and a

00:31:43.299 --> 00:31:43.759
 wage

00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:44.400
 not a

00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:44.779
 gift

00:31:44.779 --> 00:31:46.379
 but it

00:31:46.379 --> 00:31:46.839
 turns out

00:31:46.839 --> 00:31:47.220
 salvation

00:31:47.220 --> 00:31:47.900
 is a

00:31:47.900 --> 00:31:48.240
 gift

00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:49.000
 it's a

00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:49.379
 grace

00:31:49.379 --> 00:31:49.980
 and it's

00:31:49.980 --> 00:31:50.400
 a mercy

00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:52.559
 some years

00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:53.000
 ago there

00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:53.359
 was a

00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:53.779
 famous

00:31:53.779 --> 00:31:54.440
 recording

00:31:54.440 --> 00:31:54.839
 artist

00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:55.799
 who claimed

00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:56.059
 to have

00:31:56.059 --> 00:31:56.180
 been

00:31:56.180 --> 00:31:56.480
 converted

00:31:56.480 --> 00:31:56.619
 to

00:31:56.619 --> 00:31:57.119
 Christianity

00:31:57.119 --> 00:31:58.000
 and I

00:31:58.000 --> 00:31:58.480
 along with

00:31:58.480 --> 00:31:59.000
 many of

00:31:59.000 --> 00:31:59.279
 you were

00:31:59.279 --> 00:31:59.799
 very excited

00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:00.259
 about it

00:32:00.259 --> 00:32:00.980
 it was

00:32:00.980 --> 00:32:01.420
 getting a lot

00:32:01.420 --> 00:32:01.720
 of media

00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:02.160
 attention

00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:03.339
 but then

00:32:03.339 --> 00:32:03.819
 in one of

00:32:03.819 --> 00:32:04.599
 the interviews

00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:05.339
 he said

00:32:05.339 --> 00:32:07.119
 that because

00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:08.019
 he is worth

00:32:08.019 --> 00:32:08.859
 three billion

00:32:08.859 --> 00:32:09.279
 dollars

00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:10.059
 and because

00:32:10.059 --> 00:32:10.440
 he's the

00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:11.019
 number one

00:32:11.019 --> 00:32:11.779
 Google search

00:32:11.779 --> 00:32:12.220
 brand in the

00:32:12.220 --> 00:32:12.460
 world

00:32:12.460 --> 00:32:13.319
 that God

00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:14.200
 was showing

00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:14.799
 off

00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:15.740
 and showing

00:32:15.740 --> 00:32:16.240
 out

00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:18.640
 by saying

00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:19.000
 that oh

00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:19.480
 he works

00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:19.839
 for me

00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:21.380
 he belongs

00:32:21.380 --> 00:32:21.759
 to me

00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:25.400
 he didn't

00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:25.879
 understand

00:32:25.879 --> 00:32:26.339
 mercy

00:32:26.339 --> 00:32:28.460
 and you

00:32:28.460 --> 00:32:28.859
 can see

00:32:28.859 --> 00:32:29.339
 now from

00:32:29.339 --> 00:32:29.640
 the way

00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:29.839
 he has

00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:30.079
 turned

00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:30.420
 around

00:32:30.420 --> 00:32:32.000
 from that

00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:32.440
 confession

00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:34.379
 God

00:32:34.379 --> 00:32:35.160
 saved him

00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:36.039
 because he's

00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:36.700
 so great

00:32:36.700 --> 00:32:37.019
 and he

00:32:37.019 --> 00:32:37.400
 wants to

00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:38.000
 show off

00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:38.619
 his latest

00:32:38.619 --> 00:32:39.379
 acquisition

00:32:39.379 --> 00:32:42.740
 that is

00:32:42.740 --> 00:32:43.180
 so far

00:32:43.180 --> 00:32:43.480
 from the

00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:43.700
 biblical

00:32:43.700 --> 00:32:44.140
 mindset

00:32:44.140 --> 00:32:45.819
 contrast that

00:32:45.819 --> 00:32:46.140
 with what

00:32:46.140 --> 00:32:46.660
 Paul says

00:32:46.660 --> 00:32:47.200
 in Philippians

00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:47.480
 three

00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:48.599
 he says

00:32:48.599 --> 00:32:49.380
 that every

00:32:49.380 --> 00:32:50.140
 reason he

00:32:50.140 --> 00:32:50.460
 has

00:32:50.460 --> 00:32:51.200
 for confidence

00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:51.559
 in the

00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:51.880
 flesh

00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:52.599
 things that

00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:52.920
 he might

00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:53.579
 boast about

00:32:53.579 --> 00:32:54.059
 that it's

00:32:54.059 --> 00:32:54.839
 all rubbish

00:32:54.839 --> 00:32:55.700
 compared to

00:32:55.700 --> 00:32:56.539
 the surpassing

00:32:56.539 --> 00:32:56.960
 worth of

00:32:56.960 --> 00:32:57.579
 knowing Christ

00:32:57.579 --> 00:32:58.180
 Jesus my

00:32:58.180 --> 00:32:58.460
 Lord

00:32:58.460 --> 00:33:00.380
 he says

00:33:00.380 --> 00:33:01.120
 same Paul

00:33:01.120 --> 00:33:01.500
 says in

00:33:01.500 --> 00:33:01.700
 first

00:33:01.700 --> 00:33:01.900
 Timothy

00:33:01.900 --> 00:33:02.640
 1 16

00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:03.279
 but I

00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:03.799
 received

00:33:03.799 --> 00:33:04.360
 mercy

00:33:04.360 --> 00:33:05.799
 for this

00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:06.279
 reason

00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:08.259
 not so

00:33:08.259 --> 00:33:08.640
 God can

00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:09.279
 show off

00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:09.779
 about what

00:33:09.779 --> 00:33:10.259
 a great

00:33:10.259 --> 00:33:10.599
 person

00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:11.160
 Paul is

00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:11.519
 now he

00:33:11.519 --> 00:33:11.819
 belongs

00:33:11.819 --> 00:33:12.259
 to me

00:33:12.259 --> 00:33:13.880
 I

00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:14.220
 received

00:33:14.220 --> 00:33:14.539
 mercy

00:33:14.539 --> 00:33:15.039
 for this

00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:15.319
 reason

00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:15.680
 that in

00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:16.000
 me

00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:16.460
 as the

00:33:16.460 --> 00:33:16.960
 foremost

00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:17.400
 of

00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:17.900
 sinners

00:33:17.900 --> 00:33:18.800
 Jesus

00:33:18.800 --> 00:33:19.300
 Christ

00:33:19.300 --> 00:33:19.560
 might

00:33:19.560 --> 00:33:20.060
 display

00:33:20.060 --> 00:33:20.340
 his

00:33:20.340 --> 00:33:20.860
 perfect

00:33:20.860 --> 00:33:21.480
 patience

00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:22.160
 as an

00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:22.600
 example

00:33:22.600 --> 00:33:23.140
 to those

00:33:23.140 --> 00:33:23.440
 who were

00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:23.900
 to believe

00:33:23.900 --> 00:33:24.200
 in him

00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:24.660
 for eternal

00:33:24.660 --> 00:33:25.080
 life

00:33:25.080 --> 00:33:27.320
 the reason

00:33:27.320 --> 00:33:27.640
 why he

00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:27.920
 received

00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:28.240
 mercy

00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:28.720
 Paul says

00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:29.100
 is so

00:33:29.100 --> 00:33:29.580
 that God

00:33:29.580 --> 00:33:30.040
 might show

00:33:30.040 --> 00:33:30.900
 how patient

00:33:30.900 --> 00:33:31.960
 and merciful

00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:32.560
 he is

00:33:32.560 --> 00:33:33.460
 to save

00:33:33.460 --> 00:33:34.200
 a chief

00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:34.980
 of sinners

00:33:34.980 --> 00:33:37.640
 in other

00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:37.920
 words

00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:38.759
 God saved

00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:39.259
 us

00:33:39.259 --> 00:33:40.420
 not because

00:33:40.420 --> 00:33:40.700
 we're

00:33:40.700 --> 00:33:41.600
 trophies

00:33:41.600 --> 00:33:43.720
 but despite

00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:44.240
 the fact

00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:44.660
 that we're

00:33:44.660 --> 00:33:45.259
 trash

00:33:45.259 --> 00:33:45.299
 trash

00:33:45.299 --> 00:33:49.579
 isn't

00:33:49.579 --> 00:33:49.839
 that what

00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:50.119
 rubbish

00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:50.460
 is

00:33:50.460 --> 00:33:51.180
 trash

00:33:51.180 --> 00:33:53.019
 refuse

00:33:53.019 --> 00:33:53.940
 dung

00:33:53.940 --> 00:33:55.099
 that's

00:33:55.099 --> 00:33:55.400
 all

00:33:55.400 --> 00:33:55.839
 that we

00:33:55.839 --> 00:33:56.119
 have

00:33:56.119 --> 00:33:56.660
 to offer

00:33:56.660 --> 00:33:57.180
 to God

00:33:57.180 --> 00:33:58.740
 in our

00:33:58.740 --> 00:33:59.160
 flesh

00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:00.680
 the church

00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:01.279
 is not

00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:02.259
 Jesus's

00:34:02.259 --> 00:34:02.700
 trophy

00:34:02.700 --> 00:34:03.079
 wife

00:34:03.079 --> 00:34:03.879
 it's

00:34:03.879 --> 00:34:04.140
 the

00:34:04.140 --> 00:34:04.519
 whore

00:34:04.519 --> 00:34:06.220
 that was

00:34:06.220 --> 00:34:06.839
 redeemed

00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:07.460
 by the

00:34:07.460 --> 00:34:07.759
 mercy

00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:08.260
 of God

00:34:08.260 --> 00:34:10.940
 God

00:34:10.940 --> 00:34:11.480
 saves us

00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:11.880
 not because

00:34:11.880 --> 00:34:12.179
 we're

00:34:12.179 --> 00:34:12.579
 amazing

00:34:12.579 --> 00:34:13.119
 but because

00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:13.539
 he is

00:34:13.539 --> 00:34:13.960
 amazing

00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:15.059
 not to

00:34:15.059 --> 00:34:15.599
 showcase

00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:15.960
 our

00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:16.299
 merits

00:34:16.299 --> 00:34:16.639
 but to

00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:17.059
 showcase

00:34:17.059 --> 00:34:17.559
 his

00:34:17.559 --> 00:34:18.360
 mercy

00:34:18.360 --> 00:34:19.500
 and when

00:34:19.500 --> 00:34:20.039
 we remember

00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:20.619
 how much

00:34:20.619 --> 00:34:20.900
 we have

00:34:20.900 --> 00:34:21.400
 been forgiven

00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:21.860
 how much

00:34:21.860 --> 00:34:22.239
 mercy

00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:22.599
 we have

00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:23.000
 received

00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:23.500
 it makes

00:34:23.500 --> 00:34:23.699
 us

00:34:23.699 --> 00:34:24.239
 merciful

00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:24.940
 and forgiving

00:34:24.940 --> 00:34:25.579
 toward others

00:34:25.579 --> 00:34:28.460
 there's so much

00:34:28.460 --> 00:34:28.759
 mercy

00:34:28.759 --> 00:34:29.139
 we've talked

00:34:29.139 --> 00:34:29.819
 about and we've

00:34:29.819 --> 00:34:30.239
 only talked

00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:30.619
 about God

00:34:30.619 --> 00:34:31.039
 the Father

00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:34.519
 he says

00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:35.279
 of Jesus

00:34:35.279 --> 00:34:35.799
 in Hebrews

00:34:35.799 --> 00:34:36.119
 2

00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:36.539
 17

00:34:36.539 --> 00:34:36.920
 18

00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:37.739
 therefore

00:34:37.739 --> 00:34:38.440
 he had

00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:38.739
 to be

00:34:38.739 --> 00:34:39.019
 made

00:34:39.019 --> 00:34:39.500
 like his

00:34:39.500 --> 00:34:39.819
 brothers

00:34:39.819 --> 00:34:40.360
 in every

00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:40.860
 respect

00:34:40.860 --> 00:34:41.820
 so that

00:34:41.820 --> 00:34:42.300
 he might

00:34:42.300 --> 00:34:42.840
 become

00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:44.019
 a merciful

00:34:44.019 --> 00:34:45.200
 and faithful

00:34:45.200 --> 00:34:45.800
 high priest

00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:46.280
 in the service

00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:46.740
 of God

00:34:46.740 --> 00:34:47.300
 to make

00:34:47.300 --> 00:34:48.019
 propitiation

00:34:48.019 --> 00:34:48.599
 for the sins

00:34:48.599 --> 00:34:49.180
 of the people

00:34:49.180 --> 00:34:50.039
 for because

00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:50.960
 he himself

00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:51.720
 has suffered

00:34:51.720 --> 00:34:52.380
 when tempted

00:34:52.380 --> 00:34:53.300
 he's able

00:34:53.300 --> 00:34:53.720
 to help

00:34:53.720 --> 00:34:54.140
 those who

00:34:54.140 --> 00:34:54.559
 are being

00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:54.980
 tempted

00:34:54.980 --> 00:34:56.920
 what makes

00:34:56.920 --> 00:34:57.360
 Jesus

00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:58.320
 a merciful

00:34:58.320 --> 00:34:59.160
 high priest

00:34:59.160 --> 00:35:01.579
 what makes

00:35:01.579 --> 00:35:01.860
 Jesus

00:35:01.860 --> 00:35:02.500
 a merciful

00:35:02.500 --> 00:35:02.980
 high priest

00:35:02.980 --> 00:35:03.720
 who intercedes

00:35:03.720 --> 00:35:04.400
 on our behalf

00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:05.079
 and advocates

00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:05.820
 for us

00:35:05.820 --> 00:35:07.820
 that he was

00:35:07.820 --> 00:35:08.539
 made like

00:35:08.539 --> 00:35:08.920
 us

00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:09.480
 in every

00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:10.000
 respect

00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:12.599
 he took

00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:13.019
 on human

00:35:13.019 --> 00:35:13.460
 flesh

00:35:13.460 --> 00:35:14.460
 he walked

00:35:14.460 --> 00:35:14.940
 on the

00:35:14.940 --> 00:35:15.239
 earth

00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:16.099
 he suffered

00:35:16.099 --> 00:35:17.360
 he wept

00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:18.000
 he was

00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:18.639
 tempted

00:35:18.639 --> 00:35:19.460
 and that's

00:35:19.460 --> 00:35:20.059
 why he's

00:35:20.059 --> 00:35:20.900
 not callous

00:35:20.900 --> 00:35:21.519
 or indifferent

00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:21.980
 to our

00:35:21.980 --> 00:35:22.519
 sufferings

00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:23.039
 and struggles

00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:23.679
 he's

00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:24.380
 compassionate

00:35:24.380 --> 00:35:25.179
 and he's

00:35:25.179 --> 00:35:25.739
 merciful

00:35:25.739 --> 00:35:26.519
 we read

00:35:26.519 --> 00:35:26.820
 this from

00:35:26.820 --> 00:35:27.380
 the assurance

00:35:27.380 --> 00:35:27.760
 of pardon

00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:28.099
 in Hebrews

00:35:28.099 --> 00:35:28.400
 4

00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:28.739
 we do

00:35:28.739 --> 00:35:29.159
 not have

00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:29.539
 a high

00:35:29.539 --> 00:35:30.199
 priest

00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:30.639
 who is

00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:31.179
 unable

00:35:31.179 --> 00:35:31.519
 to

 with our

00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:33.400

00:35:33.400 --> 00:35:34.320
 but one

00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:34.639
 who in

00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:35.300
 every respect

00:35:35.300 --> 00:35:35.619

00:35:35.619 --> 00:35:35.900
 tempted

00:35:35.900 --> 00:35:36.260
 as we

00:35:36.260 --> 00:35:36.400
 are

00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:36.559
 yet

00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:36.880

 sin

00:35:37.420 --> 00:35:38.579
 let us

00:35:38.579 --> 00:35:38.980

00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:40.860
 draw near

00:35:42.300 --> 00:35:42.700
 that we may

00:35:42.700 --> 00:35:43.599
