WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.700 In Matthew 4, verse 17 to the end of the passage, 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.340 And John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he caught them. 00:00:36.219 --> 00:00:38.859 Immediately they left their boat and their father and followed him. 00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:42.960 And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, 00:00:43.340 --> 00:00:48.600 and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every affliction among the people. 00:00:49.579 --> 00:00:53.320 So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought him all the sick, 00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:56.039 those afflicted with various diseases and pains, 00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:00.519 those oppressed by demons, those having seizures, and paralytics. 00:01:00.820 --> 00:01:01.619 And he healed them. 00:01:02.420 --> 00:01:05.680 And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decapolis, 00:01:06.260 --> 00:01:09.239 and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan. 00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:16.840 Order! 00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:19.400 Order! 00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:21.319 Order! 00:01:22.019 --> 00:01:22.960 I know what I'm doing. 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:23.599 Order! 00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:24.000 Order! 00:01:25.199 --> 00:01:25.719 Order! 00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:26.319 Order! 00:01:27.099 --> 00:01:27.539 Division! 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:30.399 Order! 00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:30.919 Order! 00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:32.099 There's no good people shouting. 00:01:32.259 --> 00:01:34.039 There will be an opportunity for other points of order, 00:01:34.119 --> 00:01:38.379 but the Prime Minister must and will be heard. 00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:38.799 Order! 00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:39.500 Order! 00:01:40.019 --> 00:01:43.619 The horrible gentleman has got to learn the art of patience. 00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:49.260 And if he is patient, if he deploys Zen, 00:01:49.700 --> 00:01:53.620 he will find that it is ultimately to everybody's advantage. 00:01:54.080 --> 00:01:55.980 So we'll leave it there, and we come now. 00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:56.719 Now, I'm not... 00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:57.500 If it... 00:01:57.500 --> 00:01:58.460 No, very well. 00:01:58.460 --> 00:01:59.060 Order! 00:01:59.060 --> 00:01:59.560 Order! 00:02:03.900 --> 00:02:04.219 Order! 00:02:04.600 --> 00:02:04.920 Order! 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:05.920 Zen! 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:07.920 Restraint! 00:02:09.300 --> 00:02:10.060 Patience! 00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:11.000 Order! 00:02:13.620 --> 00:02:20.240 The title of this sermon is taken from this repeated cause of parliament speakers. 00:02:20.780 --> 00:02:22.280 This is John Burkow. 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:26.780 He's been 10 years in the British parliament. 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:28.219 And during... 00:02:28.219 --> 00:02:29.219 This one is in... 00:02:29.219 --> 00:02:31.780 I think it's German who put it up. 00:02:32.580 --> 00:02:34.620 And so when he retires, 00:02:34.980 --> 00:02:38.920 people just make lots of videos about him calling orders. 00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:42.139 So when these speakers, 00:02:42.379 --> 00:02:43.299 when they're shouting, 00:02:43.559 --> 00:02:44.500 order, order, 00:02:44.979 --> 00:02:48.379 they are giving an order to keep orders. 00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:50.899 The word order has two major meanings. 00:02:51.579 --> 00:02:55.159 One is to do things in turn, 00:02:55.699 --> 00:02:57.039 or in proper perspective. 00:02:57.839 --> 00:02:59.939 Another meaning is to give or receive a command. 00:02:59.939 --> 00:03:01.680 For example, 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:02.919 in Matthew 6.33, 00:03:03.259 --> 00:03:03.819 Jesus said, 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.099 but seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. 00:03:08.020 --> 00:03:09.340 So this is an order 00:03:09.340 --> 00:03:11.979 to set the order of our priorities right. 00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:13.699 So in this sermon, 00:03:13.819 --> 00:03:16.000 I'm talking about these two kinds of orders. 00:03:16.819 --> 00:03:21.000 One is to see things in an orderly or proper perspective, 00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.740 and paying attention to wise orders. 00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:26.939 Sometimes they're a bit mixed up. 00:03:26.939 --> 00:03:29.219 Hopefully you can pick them up. 00:03:29.939 --> 00:03:32.639 So the members of the parliament know that 00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:34.800 they need someone to keep their meetings in order 00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:40.079 so that they can be efficient 00:03:40.079 --> 00:03:42.419 with the use of their time. 00:03:43.139 --> 00:03:45.120 But having elected such a person, 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:48.659 they often fail to listen to the order of this person. 00:03:49.659 --> 00:03:50.680 So in the parliament, 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.360 it reflects the life as general in our society. 00:03:54.979 --> 00:03:57.479 So we all like to live in an orderly world, 00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.239 but we do not know how to order our life, 00:04:00.679 --> 00:04:02.780 and we do not like to follow orders. 00:04:04.780 --> 00:04:08.299 I suppose most of us appreciate an orderly existence, 00:04:08.620 --> 00:04:10.759 such as knowing where to find a new pair of socks, 00:04:11.620 --> 00:04:15.179 or queuing up to enter a tenant event, 00:04:15.180 --> 00:04:18.240 or vehicles on the road, 00:04:18.379 --> 00:04:20.000 or obeying traffic rules. 00:04:21.220 --> 00:04:24.740 However, being orderly takes effort and time, 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:30.280 and conforming to orders often infringe our right to comfort, 00:04:30.980 --> 00:04:32.960 respect, and self-expression. 00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:37.279 For example, we may set an alarm to wake us up 00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:39.859 according to our schedule, 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:42.359 but when the alarm sounds, 00:04:42.819 --> 00:04:44.359 we might lock the alarm off. 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:46.459 Why do we do that? 00:04:46.459 --> 00:04:54.379 Why do we get upset when the alarm sounds at the correct time? 00:04:54.979 --> 00:04:56.620 Because it interrupts our comfort. 00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:03.279 The desire for comfort often influences our behavior 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:04.899 more than anything else. 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:08.439 Another thing we observe in the parliament 00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.359 is that parliamentarians are usually merciless. 00:05:12.139 --> 00:05:14.219 They belittle or provoke one another. 00:05:14.220 --> 00:05:17.440 However, they do not care what their opponent's viewpoints are. 00:05:18.080 --> 00:05:19.260 They do not care if their opponent 00:05:19.260 --> 00:05:23.840 had a bad day or bad time in their family 00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:26.080 or personal life. 00:05:26.520 --> 00:05:29.100 Their priority is to win the argument. 00:05:29.880 --> 00:05:33.820 So they kept talking even when their times were up. 00:05:34.620 --> 00:05:37.760 This is to do with our desire 00:05:37.760 --> 00:05:39.120 or need to be respected. 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:43.180 No one likes to appear to be a ruser in front of others. 00:05:44.220 --> 00:05:47.980 And also the heroes of our time 00:05:47.980 --> 00:05:50.800 are those who dare to challenge or rebel against others 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:53.180 and show the world what they can do 00:05:53.180 --> 00:05:55.700 without conforming to social orders. 00:05:56.660 --> 00:05:58.880 We see others as some kind of oppression 00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:01.120 that stifles self-expression. 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.840 We often think that we could do better than others 00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:09.319 if we are given a chance to express ourselves. 00:06:10.599 --> 00:06:13.500 So there is something wrong with the world. 00:06:13.939 --> 00:06:17.479 We seek comfort, respect, and self-expression. 00:06:17.899 --> 00:06:20.339 But these things usually bring these orders. 00:06:20.679 --> 00:06:23.079 As every one of us want to express ourselves, 00:06:23.599 --> 00:06:26.120 then there won't be order in the world. 00:06:27.179 --> 00:06:30.279 So it is like electing a speaker for parliament to keep orders. 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.719 For everyone is busy expressing their wills 00:06:33.719 --> 00:06:35.379 and ignoring the calls to keep order. 00:06:36.239 --> 00:06:37.839 Or it is like setting an alarm clock 00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:41.019 to keep us up to our schedule 00:06:41.019 --> 00:06:42.779 but ignore the alarm and sleep in. 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:45.639 Jesus came to a world like this. 00:06:46.479 --> 00:06:47.799 So in chapter 4 of Matthew, 00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:49.859 we were told firstly, 00:06:50.039 --> 00:06:51.519 Jesus met with temptations 00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:54.159 to claim his rights to comfort, 00:06:54.659 --> 00:06:56.199 respect, and self-expression. 00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:59.479 Jesus chose to be faithful to God's words, 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:00.719 God's orders. 00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:04.819 Then Jesus became the light 00:07:04.819 --> 00:07:06.279 to the people in Galilee. 00:07:08.300 --> 00:07:09.920 Being the light of the world, 00:07:10.039 --> 00:07:12.819 Jesus showed us how this order of life is. 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:15.360 If we live in a darkness, 00:07:15.699 --> 00:07:16.719 we never know how... 00:07:17.899 --> 00:07:20.800 We thought that our lives are good and orderly. 00:07:21.180 --> 00:07:23.180 But once the light shines, 00:07:23.300 --> 00:07:23.980 then we will know 00:07:23.980 --> 00:07:27.520 things are not that we thought it would be. 00:07:27.620 --> 00:07:30.520 And that's what Jesus was doing 00:07:30.520 --> 00:07:31.759 to the people in Galilee 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:34.140 and the rest of the Matthew. 00:07:34.140 --> 00:07:38.480 We can, as we go on to the other chapters. 00:07:40.640 --> 00:07:43.020 So at verse 17 of chapter 4, 00:07:43.259 --> 00:07:43.759 Jesus said, 00:07:43.900 --> 00:07:46.140 Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:49.379 So that is the first thing that Jesus said. 00:07:49.500 --> 00:07:52.120 Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:54.899 Repent from seeking for your own kingdom. 00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.139 If the highest priority in your life 00:07:58.139 --> 00:07:59.680 is your right to comfort, 00:07:59.840 --> 00:08:01.199 respect, and self-expression, 00:08:01.699 --> 00:08:04.240 you will not find satisfaction or rest. 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.379 However, if you give up your kingdom 00:08:07.379 --> 00:08:08.819 and seek the kingdom of heaven, 00:08:09.379 --> 00:08:11.360 you will find something more precious 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:12.360 than your own right. 00:08:13.220 --> 00:08:14.379 This kingdom of heaven 00:08:14.379 --> 00:08:16.540 is not far away in space or time. 00:08:16.899 --> 00:08:18.899 It is something you can be part of now. 00:08:19.259 --> 00:08:20.480 The kingdom of God is at hand. 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:23.420 So how did Jesus go about 00:08:23.420 --> 00:08:24.620 getting people to repent 00:08:24.620 --> 00:08:25.759 and change their ways? 00:08:26.939 --> 00:08:28.900 He started with setting right 00:08:28.900 --> 00:08:30.680 the order of things. 00:08:31.700 --> 00:08:33.920 So the first thing we can consider 00:08:33.920 --> 00:08:35.340 is the order of relation 00:08:35.340 --> 00:08:40.060 from Matthew chapter 4, verses 18 to 22. 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.279 So what I mean by order of relation 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:45.840 is how we relate to people and God. 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:49.139 How do we see people or God 00:08:49.139 --> 00:08:50.360 in relation to us? 00:08:51.280 --> 00:08:52.460 How important they are? 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.740 Do they see people as people? 00:08:56.379 --> 00:08:57.940 Jesus called the disciples. 00:08:59.379 --> 00:08:59.680 And then, 00:09:00.420 --> 00:09:02.080 why did Peter and Andrew, 00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:03.660 James and John, 00:09:03.780 --> 00:09:05.460 left their families and occupation 00:09:05.460 --> 00:09:06.920 and follow Jesus? 00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:10.200 It was because who Jesus was 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:12.200 and whom Jesus called. 00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:14.600 I know that we usually understand 00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:15.840 the call to these brothers 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.520 show the authority of Jesus 00:09:18.520 --> 00:09:20.140 as their king. 00:09:20.340 --> 00:09:20.720 So Jesus, 00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:23.940 we consider Jesus king, 00:09:24.040 --> 00:09:24.600 so he called, 00:09:24.740 --> 00:09:25.620 people will respond. 00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:26.879 And that is true. 00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:28.480 But there's more than that, 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:29.520 I think. 00:09:29.640 --> 00:09:30.340 It's not that 00:09:30.340 --> 00:09:32.700 Jesus just simply called anyone 00:09:32.700 --> 00:09:33.460 he met 00:09:33.460 --> 00:09:35.000 or you think that this person 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:36.320 looks smart 00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.200 or looks capable 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:40.220 and he will call. 00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:42.720 There is a history 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:44.900 behind that. 00:09:47.259 --> 00:09:48.080 First of all, 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.160 in the book of John, 00:09:51.259 --> 00:09:51.940 we knew that 00:09:51.940 --> 00:09:53.580 at least John, 00:09:53.740 --> 00:09:54.280 the apostle, 00:09:55.280 --> 00:09:58.259 and also Andrew, 00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:01.020 they were followers 00:10:01.020 --> 00:10:02.060 of John the Baptist. 00:10:02.059 --> 00:10:03.959 So they, 00:10:04.219 --> 00:10:06.159 these two, 00:10:07.699 --> 00:10:08.739 John and Andrew, 00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:09.179 at least, 00:10:09.319 --> 00:10:10.500 maybe their brothers as well, 00:10:10.599 --> 00:10:12.399 there's Peter and James, 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:14.500 they were already people 00:10:14.500 --> 00:10:16.619 who were looking for 00:10:16.619 --> 00:10:18.279 a better world 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:19.299 or something that 00:10:19.299 --> 00:10:20.239 is different 00:10:20.239 --> 00:10:22.559 to what they experienced. 00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:23.959 And so when John the Baptist 00:10:23.959 --> 00:10:24.559 came, 00:10:24.979 --> 00:10:25.599 they followed 00:10:25.599 --> 00:10:27.019 John the Baptist. 00:10:28.379 --> 00:10:29.179 And here, 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:30.379 we see the role 00:10:30.379 --> 00:10:31.039 of John the Baptist. 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:32.179 he prepared a role 00:10:32.179 --> 00:10:33.799 for the Messiah 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:34.740 and John the Baptist 00:10:34.740 --> 00:10:35.879 pointed Jesus out 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:37.079 to Andrew and John. 00:10:38.019 --> 00:10:38.620 Andrew and John 00:10:38.620 --> 00:10:40.000 went to meet Jesus 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:41.179 and spent some time 00:10:41.179 --> 00:10:41.620 with him. 00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:43.279 They then told 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:44.139 their older brothers 00:10:44.139 --> 00:10:44.860 about Jesus. 00:10:46.339 --> 00:10:47.159 They knew enough 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:47.659 about Jesus 00:10:47.659 --> 00:10:48.539 when the call came. 00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:50.459 Jesus also knew them 00:10:50.459 --> 00:10:51.559 and their families. 00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:53.799 In Matthew 8, 00:10:55.059 --> 00:10:55.699 verse 14, 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:56.500 we will read about 00:10:56.500 --> 00:10:57.339 Jesus visiting 00:10:57.339 --> 00:10:59.000 Peter's mother-in-law 00:10:59.000 --> 00:10:59.919 and healing 00:10:59.919 --> 00:11:01.559 her illness. 00:11:02.940 --> 00:11:03.080 So, 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:04.460 Jesus knew those 00:11:04.460 --> 00:11:05.379 whom he had called 00:11:05.379 --> 00:11:07.059 and he was interested 00:11:07.059 --> 00:11:08.039 in things that matter 00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:08.720 in their life. 00:11:09.779 --> 00:11:11.000 The political leaders 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:12.399 focused only 00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:13.340 on their political 00:11:13.340 --> 00:11:13.899 against. 00:11:14.379 --> 00:11:15.320 They will make use 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:16.000 of other people 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:16.980 to reach their goals. 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:18.700 Jesus did not 00:11:18.700 --> 00:11:19.500 call the disciples 00:11:19.500 --> 00:11:20.480 to be pawns 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:21.059 in achieving 00:11:21.059 --> 00:11:21.740 his purpose. 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:22.659 He called them 00:11:22.659 --> 00:11:23.340 to be followers 00:11:23.340 --> 00:11:24.340 and to be children 00:11:24.340 --> 00:11:24.840 of God. 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:26.720 In the parliament, 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:28.740 some people 00:11:28.740 --> 00:11:30.259 are indispensable. 00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:31.780 Without them, 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:32.200 the government 00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:33.680 would not function. 00:11:34.660 --> 00:11:35.480 But most people 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:36.440 are unimportant. 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:37.840 Why are they 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:38.300 unimportant? 00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:39.759 Because nobody, 00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:41.040 in a sense, 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:42.620 inside the parliament 00:11:42.620 --> 00:11:43.120 itself, 00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:44.399 they are not 00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:46.259 being respected. 00:11:46.540 --> 00:11:46.940 Usually, 00:11:47.100 --> 00:11:47.639 you can see 00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:48.460 people just 00:11:48.460 --> 00:11:49.120 belittle 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:50.399 the other politicians. 00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:53.480 They don't care 00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:54.460 much about them 00:11:54.460 --> 00:11:55.259 as a person. 00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:56.659 They care more 00:11:56.659 --> 00:11:57.580 about them 00:11:57.580 --> 00:11:58.860 as a means 00:11:58.860 --> 00:11:59.240 for them 00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:00.159 to be successful 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:01.500 in their careers 00:12:01.500 --> 00:12:02.679 or to, 00:12:03.060 --> 00:12:04.320 yeah, 00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:05.879 either to help them 00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:07.519 or to make them 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:08.419 or put them down. 00:12:08.980 --> 00:12:09.299 So, 00:12:09.379 --> 00:12:10.519 this is how 00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:11.100 our world 00:12:11.100 --> 00:12:12.019 functions. 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:13.879 But in the kingdom 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:14.440 of God, 00:12:15.019 --> 00:12:16.320 everyone is important 00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:18.440 because 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:19.300 everyone is 00:12:19.300 --> 00:12:20.120 being redeemed 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:20.940 by the blood 00:12:20.940 --> 00:12:21.380 of Jesus 00:12:21.380 --> 00:12:23.160 and people 00:12:23.160 --> 00:12:24.380 are 00:12:24.380 --> 00:12:26.520 so important 00:12:26.520 --> 00:12:26.960 that, 00:12:27.400 --> 00:12:28.440 yeah, 00:12:29.580 --> 00:12:30.400 the Lord Jesus 00:12:30.400 --> 00:12:31.120 died for them. 00:12:32.140 --> 00:12:33.100 But nobody 00:12:33.100 --> 00:12:34.080 is indispensable 00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:37.140 just because 00:12:37.140 --> 00:12:37.920 the kingdom of God 00:12:37.920 --> 00:12:38.500 will go on 00:12:38.500 --> 00:12:38.920 regardless 00:12:38.920 --> 00:12:39.680 whether we follow 00:12:39.680 --> 00:12:40.480 Jesus or not. 00:12:41.820 --> 00:12:42.820 Whether we do 00:12:42.820 --> 00:12:43.980 anything in the church 00:12:43.980 --> 00:12:44.360 or not, 00:12:44.680 --> 00:12:45.220 the church will 00:12:45.220 --> 00:12:46.320 still go on. 00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:47.220 So, 00:12:47.300 --> 00:12:47.800 that is the 00:12:47.800 --> 00:12:48.420 difference. 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:50.320 in the system 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:50.860 of the world 00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:52.560 and the kingdom 00:12:52.560 --> 00:12:53.120 of God. 00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:56.540 So, 00:12:58.020 --> 00:12:58.540 Jesus 00:12:58.540 --> 00:12:59.920 does not force 00:12:59.920 --> 00:13:00.320 or trick 00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:01.060 anyone to 00:13:01.060 --> 00:13:01.840 follow him 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:02.500 because 00:13:02.500 --> 00:13:04.280 while everyone 00:13:04.280 --> 00:13:04.940 in the kingdom 00:13:04.940 --> 00:13:05.640 is important, 00:13:05.940 --> 00:13:06.440 none of us 00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:07.840 is indispensable. 00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:11.480 So, 00:13:11.580 --> 00:13:11.920 in the kingdom 00:13:11.920 --> 00:13:12.460 of God, 00:13:12.940 --> 00:13:13.780 personal comfort, 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:14.340 position, 00:13:14.500 --> 00:13:15.360 and self-expression 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:16.040 are no longer 00:13:16.040 --> 00:13:16.840 our priority. 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:18.180 the disciples 00:13:18.180 --> 00:13:19.040 live together, 00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:20.300 rejoice together, 00:13:20.500 --> 00:13:21.200 suffer together. 00:13:22.160 --> 00:13:22.660 They do not 00:13:22.660 --> 00:13:23.480 need to outperform 00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:24.019 one another 00:13:24.019 --> 00:13:24.780 but learn to 00:13:24.780 --> 00:13:25.899 forgive one another 00:13:25.899 --> 00:13:27.100 and build up 00:13:27.100 --> 00:13:27.580 one another 00:13:27.580 --> 00:13:28.460 because of 00:13:28.460 --> 00:13:29.160 their relationship 00:13:29.160 --> 00:13:30.220 with Jesus 00:13:30.220 --> 00:13:31.000 and with 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:31.820 one another. 00:13:33.100 --> 00:13:33.940 As we go on 00:13:33.940 --> 00:13:34.420 with the book 00:13:34.420 --> 00:13:35.040 of Matthew, 00:13:35.300 --> 00:13:35.980 we will see that 00:13:35.980 --> 00:13:36.780 in calling the 00:13:36.780 --> 00:13:37.480 disciples to 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:38.040 follow him, 00:13:38.820 --> 00:13:39.160 Jesus 00:13:39.160 --> 00:13:40.900 would show the 00:13:40.900 --> 00:13:41.440 world that 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:42.660 the proper order 00:13:42.659 --> 00:13:43.259 of things. 00:13:43.980 --> 00:13:44.379 The world 00:13:44.379 --> 00:13:45.120 sacrifices 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:45.819 others to 00:13:45.819 --> 00:13:46.339 achieve 00:13:46.339 --> 00:13:48.179 the desires 00:13:48.179 --> 00:13:48.860 of their hearts. 00:13:50.299 --> 00:13:50.819 You will notice 00:13:50.819 --> 00:13:51.379 that people 00:13:51.379 --> 00:13:52.100 will tend to 00:13:52.100 --> 00:13:52.799 abuse those 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:53.299 who are most 00:13:53.299 --> 00:13:53.679 willing to 00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:54.219 help them. 00:13:54.939 --> 00:13:55.699 If our parents 00:13:55.699 --> 00:13:56.480 help us a lot, 00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:57.019 we will tend 00:13:57.019 --> 00:13:57.539 to abuse 00:13:57.539 --> 00:13:58.079 their help 00:13:58.079 --> 00:13:59.439 before considering 00:13:59.439 --> 00:14:00.659 their own needs. 00:14:01.179 --> 00:14:02.019 This is a way 00:14:02.019 --> 00:14:03.000 of the world. 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:04.740 Jesus sacrifices 00:14:04.740 --> 00:14:05.799 himself to 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:06.459 complete those 00:14:06.459 --> 00:14:07.379 who follow him. 00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:09.339 While the first 00:14:09.339 --> 00:14:10.100 order of things 00:14:10.100 --> 00:14:10.659 in the world 00:14:10.659 --> 00:14:11.300 is personal 00:14:11.300 --> 00:14:11.820 comfort, 00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:12.480 respect, 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:14.080 and self-expression, 00:14:14.540 --> 00:14:15.139 the first order 00:14:15.139 --> 00:14:15.759 of things 00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:16.779 who Jesus 00:14:16.779 --> 00:14:17.840 loves is love. 00:14:18.379 --> 00:14:18.860 How people 00:14:18.860 --> 00:14:19.700 relate to God 00:14:19.700 --> 00:14:20.300 and how people 00:14:20.300 --> 00:14:21.100 relate to one 00:14:21.100 --> 00:14:21.420 another. 00:14:23.500 --> 00:14:24.340 Then in Matthew 00:14:24.340 --> 00:14:25.220 chapter 4 00:14:25.220 --> 00:14:25.960 verse 19, 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:26.560 we see the 00:14:26.560 --> 00:14:27.200 order of 00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:28.120 commission. 00:14:29.100 --> 00:14:29.440 That is, 00:14:30.259 --> 00:14:30.820 how do we 00:14:30.820 --> 00:14:31.580 live our life? 00:14:33.340 --> 00:14:34.300 Not so much 00:14:34.300 --> 00:14:35.340 about purpose-driven 00:14:35.340 --> 00:14:36.120 life, 00:14:36.620 --> 00:14:37.620 but whose purpose 00:14:37.620 --> 00:14:38.180 that is. 00:14:38.860 --> 00:14:39.460 What we live 00:14:39.460 --> 00:14:39.840 for. 00:14:40.100 --> 00:14:41.019 We see that 00:14:41.019 --> 00:14:42.659 in John's 00:14:42.659 --> 00:14:42.980 baptism, 00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:45.180 there is a 00:14:45.180 --> 00:14:45.720 purpose in 00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:46.200 his life. 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:48.240 He didn't 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:48.680 care about 00:14:48.680 --> 00:14:49.019 what the 00:14:49.019 --> 00:14:49.639 world offers. 00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:50.540 He just 00:14:50.540 --> 00:14:51.120 lived in the 00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:51.460 wilderness 00:14:51.460 --> 00:14:52.639 and prepared 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:53.720 himself for 00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:54.120 the coming 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:55.200 of the Lord 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:56.019 Jesus Christ. 00:14:57.779 --> 00:14:58.340 And Jesus 00:14:58.340 --> 00:14:59.080 said to Peter 00:14:59.080 --> 00:14:59.639 and Andrew, 00:15:00.240 -->

00:15:04.660 Jesus was 00:15:04.660 --> 00:15:05.480 ordering Peter 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:06.040 and Andrew 00:15:06.040 --> 00:15:06.440 to do 00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:07.279 something which

trained by 00:15:11.220 --> 00:15:12.480 their father 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:12.899 to be 00:15:12.899 --> 00:15:13.420 fishermen. 00:15:14.300 --> 00:15:14.519 They would 00:15:14.519 -->

00:15:18.780 --> 00:15:19.259 we know that 00:15:19.259 --> 00:15:19.940 at least Peter 00:15:19.940 --> 00:15:20.639 was married. 00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:21.820 What right 00:15:21.820 --> 00:15:22.259 did Jesus 00:15:22.259 --> 00:15:23.080 have to tell 00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:23.560 Peter and 00:15:23.560 --> 00:15:24.000 Andrew to 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:24.360 leave their 00:15:24.360

--> 00:15:30.840 point, 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:31.200 when my 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:32.100 person asked, 00:15:32.560 --> 00:15:33.120 why did 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:33.519 God not 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:34.100 raise more 00:15:34.100 --> 00:15:34.620 people like 00:15:34.620 --> 00:15:34.980 John the 00:15:34.980 --> 00:15:35.539 Baptist to 00:15:35.539 --> 00:15:35.899 go with 00:15:35.899 --> 00:15:36.220 Jesus? 00:15:37.860 --> 00:15:38.580 It would 00:15:38.580 --> 00:15:39.259 have been 00:15:39.259 --> 00:15:39.940 easier for 00:15:39.940 --> 00:15:40.379 people who 00:15:40.379 --> 00:15:40.620 do not 00:15:40.620 --> 00:15:41.100 have any 00:15:41.100 --> 00:15:41.600 time with 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:43.539 families or 00:15:43.539 --> 00:15:44.860 family business 00:15:44.860

00:20:06.199 --> 00:20:06.779 of logic. 00:20:07.779 --> 00:20:08.179 That is, 00:20:08.299 --> 00:20:08.699 what are the 00:20:08.699 --> 00:20:09.339 most important 00:20:09.339 --> 00:20:09.759 things in 00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:10.039 life? 00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:10.500 how do 00:20:10.500 --> 00:20:10.740 we 00:20:10.740 --> 00:20:12.119 logically 00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:13.000 decide 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:14.299 what to 00:20:14.299 --> 00:20:15.399 live for 00:20:15.399 --> 00:20:15.879 or how 00:20:15.879 --> 00:20:16.740 our life 00:20:16.740 --> 00:20:17.139 should be? 00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:18.899 Jesus went 00:20:18.899 --> 00:20:19.619 throughout all 00:20:19.619 --> 00:20:20.039 Galilee, 00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:21.059 teaching in 00:20:21.059 --> 00:20:21.839 the synagogues 00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:22.579 and proclaiming 00:20:22.579 --> 00:20:23.139 the gospel of 00:20:23.139 --> 00:20:23.539 the kingdom. 00:20:24.399 --> 00:20:24.759 We shall 00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:25.440 learn some 00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:26.220 of the 00:20:26.220 --> 00:20:27.099 teachings of 00:20:27.099 --> 00:20:27.700 Jesus in 00:20:27.700 --> 00:20:28.139 the subsequent 00:20:28.139 --> 00:20:28.779 chapters of 00:20:28.779 --> 00:20:29.220 the gospel. 00:20:30.099 --> 00:20:30.599 For now, 00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:31.399 it is enough 00:20:31.399 --> 00:20:31.740 for us to 00:20:31.740 --> 00:20:32.420 understand that 00:20:32.420 --> 00:20:33.159 Jesus was 00:20:33.159 --> 00:20:34.059 the Logos. 00:20:34.819 --> 00:20:35.539 The gospel of 00:20:35.539 --> 00:20:36.099 John says, 00:20:36.659 --> 00:20:36.879 in the 00:20:36.879 --> 00:20:37.420 beginning was 00:20:37.420 --> 00:20:38.019 the Logos, 00:20:38.500 --> 00:20:38.799 and the 00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:39.359 Logos was 00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:39.759 God, 00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:40.559 and the 00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:41.399 Logos was 00:20:41.399 --> 00:20:43.240 with God, 00:20:43.339 --> 00:20:43.539 and the 00:20:43.539 --> 00:20:44.079 Logos was 00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:44.420 God. 00:20:45.619 --> 00:20:46.240 Logos was 00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:47.500 translated into 00:20:47.500 --> 00:20:48.559 word in 00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:49.019 English. 00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:50.299 However, 00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:51.379 Logos means 00:20:51.379 --> 00:20:52.259 much more 00:20:52.259 --> 00:20:53.119 than word as 00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:53.859 we understand 00:20:53.859 --> 00:20:54.119 it. 00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:55.859 Logos also 00:20:55.859 --> 00:20:56.639 means logic 00:20:56.639 --> 00:20:57.539 and order. 00:20:58.940 --> 00:20:59.720 What was 00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:00.639 Jesus teaching? 00:21:01.299 --> 00:21:01.599 He was 00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:02.779 teaching that 00:21:02.779 --> 00:21:04.619 there was 00:21:04.619 --> 00:21:05.319 logic and 00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:06.319 order in 00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:07.259 the existence 00:21:07.259 --> 00:21:09.039 of things. 00:21:10.259 --> 00:21:10.859 We can only 00:21:10.859 --> 00:21:11.779 understand this 00:21:11.779 --> 00:21:12.559 when we know 00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:13.539 this Logos. 00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:15.699 Woly logic 00:21:15.699 --> 00:21:16.579 tells us that 00:21:16.579 --> 00:21:17.059 we have the 00:21:17.059 --> 00:21:17.919 right to 00:21:17.919 --> 00:21:18.339 comfort, 00:21:18.639 --> 00:21:19.279 respect, 00:21:19.399 --> 00:21:20.219 and self-expression. 00:21:20.979 --> 00:21:21.739 When I'm in 00:21:21.739 --> 00:21:22.139 pain, 00:21:22.419 --> 00:21:23.099 or lose my 00:21:23.099 -->

00:21:26.919 --> 00:21:27.199 do, 00:21:27.979 --> 00:21:28.699 what should 00:21:28.699 --> 00:21:29.159 I expect 00:21:29.159 --> 00:21:29.699 from God? 00:21:30.699 --> 00:21:31.039 I would 00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:32.019 expect God 00:21:32.019 --> 00:21:32.659 to intervene 00:21:32.659 --> 00:21:33.279 and restore 00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:33.859 my comfort, 00:21:34.179 --> 00:21:34.599 respect, 00:21:34.619 --> 00:21:39.239 and self-expression. 00:21:40.479 --> 00:21:40.799 However, 00:21:40.919 --> 00:21:41.459 as you know, 00:21:41.899 --> 00:21:42.500 life seldom 00:21:42.500 --> 00:21:43.119 turns up 00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:44.059 like that. 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:45.759 Our pain, 00:21:46.139 --> 00:21:46.939 our humiliation, 00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:47.599 and our 00:21:47.599

00:22:01.319 The first 00:22:01.319 --> 00:22:04.179 disciples had 00:22:04.180 --> 00:22:04.660 the same 00:22:04.660 --> 00:22:05.640 expectation from 00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:05.920 God. 00:22:06.620 --> 00:22:06.980 In the 00:22:06.980 --> 00:22:07.259 following 00:22:07.259 --> 00:22:07.880 chapters of 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:08.299 Matthew, 00:22:08.700 --> 00:22:08.960 we shall 00:22:08.960 -->

not 00:22:17.660 --> 00:22:18.259 make sense 00:22:18.259 --> 00:22:18.640 when we 00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:19.500 suffer in 00:22:19.500 --> 00:22:19.700 this 00:22:19.700 --> 00:22:20.519 disorder and
