WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:15.240 Before I look to the Scriptures with you, I want to take just a moment and encourage you 00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:23.019 ! to be in prayer for me this next Sunday, and then the Sunday after that as I will be in Jamaica 00:00:23.019 --> 00:00:28.820 ! with Caleb and Charity, and while I will not be preaching here, Pastor Shear will be doing 00:00:28.820 --> 00:00:35.480 that, I will be preaching there. And so remember to pray for me. It's kind of a pray for two pastors 00:00:35.480 --> 00:00:41.200 at the same time. I think you can handle that. And ask that God gives me a productive and fruitful 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:47.659 ministry there. Part of the objective is to go down and visit with Caleb and Charity, get to know the 00:00:47.659 --> 00:00:54.120 ministry a little better, and also to be involved in kind of preparing him for the ordination council 00:00:54.119 --> 00:01:03.259 that we look forward to next summer. And also an opportunity to visit the churches and ministry 00:01:03.259 --> 00:01:09.400 and be involved in ministry there. So I want you to turn in your Bible, if you would, this morning 00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:18.640 to John chapter 21. John chapter 21. Let's take a minute and come to the Lord in prayer 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:29.640 before we look to the scriptures. This morning, Father, our hearts are knit together because of 00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:36.180 the Lord Jesus Christ, because of the redemption that we have in him, the forgiveness of sins, 00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:44.120 and we are knit together in prayer asking that this morning your spirit would work both in the 00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:51.200 preaching of your word and in the reception of your word. We're thankful that you have given to us 00:01:51.200 --> 00:02:01.020 the scriptures, clear, accurate, convicting. And this morning we ask that this word that you have given 00:02:01.020 --> 00:02:08.560 to us would leave an indelible impression upon our lives and hearts and that our behavior and lives 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:18.080 that we live would show the mark of the ministry of the Spirit of God and the ministry of your word. 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:26.319 And we ask this in Jesus' name. Amen. Let me have you look with me just for a moment, beginning there 00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:31.620 in John chapter 21, verse 15, and I'll read that portion to you. It says, 00:02:31.620 --> 00:02:39.599 When they'd finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, do you love me more than 00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:49.520 these? He said to him, Yes, Lord, you know that I love you. He said to him, Feed my lambs. He said to him 00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:56.099 a second time, Simon, son of John, do you love me? He said to him, Yes, Lord, you know that I love you. 00:02:56.099 --> 00:03:02.079 He said to him, He said to him, He said to him, 00:03:02.079 --> 00:03:12.299 He said to him a third time, Simon, son of John, do you love me? Peter was grieved because he said to 00:03:12.299 --> 00:03:17.579 him a third time, Do you love me? And he said to him, Lord, you know everything. You know that I love 00:03:17.580 --> 00:03:34.300 you. Jesus said to him, Feed my sheep. I wonder this morning whether or not you are struck by the 00:03:34.300 --> 00:03:47.260 way in which John ends his gospel. It's really different from the way that Matthew, Mark, Luke, 00:03:47.580 --> 00:03:56.980 end theirs. It is different from the way in which Acts concludes. It is different from the way in 00:03:56.980 --> 00:04:06.620 which the pastoral epistles conclude. And conclusions are important because they tell us important things 00:04:06.620 --> 00:04:11.660 against the backdrop of the teaching that we have found in the Word of God. 00:04:11.659 --> 00:04:19.839 I want you to stop with me just for a moment and think over the broad scope of the book of John. 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.500 Beginning in John chapter 1, we are reminded, 00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:28.819 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory. 00:04:30.939 --> 00:04:37.079 John opens up with the declaration of the supremacy and the significance of Christ, 00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:43.479 and draws our hearts to recognize that the one this book is going to focus on is the Lord of glory, 00:04:43.479 --> 00:04:48.539 the creator of the universe, and the one who has come to be the Lamb of God. 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:53.740 And we work our way through the book. 00:04:54.959 --> 00:05:01.240 John actually taking very little time to explain to us some of the particulars and 00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:06.579 the historical events that made up the years of Christ's public ministry, 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:08.280 actually picking up on only seven. 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:17.379 The flow is focused predominantly upon who the Lord Jesus Christ is as the Son of God. 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:20.960 And if you were listening in pastor's prayer, 00:05:21.420 --> 00:05:25.660 you heard him reference the fact that these things are written, 00:05:25.660 --> 00:05:30.240 that you might know that Jesus is the Christ, 00:05:30.840 --> 00:05:36.000 and that knowing these things you might believe and have life. 00:05:38.580 --> 00:05:41.960 So you have to ask yourself the question as we look here, 00:05:42.140 --> 00:05:48.660 why does God allow or instruct John to write his gospel in such a fashion 00:05:48.660 --> 00:05:57.480 and end up with someone as flawed and as frail as Peter in the last chapter? 00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:07.720 I hope that sticks, because it has bearing and is significant. 00:06:07.960 --> 00:06:10.660 I speak to the majority of you here this morning, 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:14.800 who I am fully persuaded know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior. 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:23.980 And what we find in John chapter 21 has bearing upon the way in which you, 00:06:24.379 --> 00:06:27.620 who know Christ, are to live. 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:34.680 And so as we take up this portion, let me remind you just for a moment again 00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:38.100 and keep your finger there in John chapter 21, 00:06:38.280 --> 00:06:43.519 but go back just for a second and touch on John chapter 20, verse 31, 00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:44.539 and mark what it says, 00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:48.259 these things are written so that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, 00:06:48.359 --> 00:06:53.219 the Son of God, and by believing, you may have life in his name. 00:06:55.639 --> 00:07:00.759 Question, what does that life involve? 00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:07.019 What does that life in Christ involve? 00:07:07.019 --> 00:07:11.439 And what we're going to find in the passage, I believe, 00:07:11.740 --> 00:07:17.879 is a very clear indication of what life in Christ really comes down to. 00:07:19.719 --> 00:07:24.359 Last week, Pastor, as he was preaching in John chapter 21, 00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:27.060 the first portion of John chapter 21, 00:07:27.180 --> 00:07:30.279 he kind of reminded us of the reality of the fact that 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:32.659 when we are living in Christ, 00:07:32.660 --> 00:07:34.720 we are living a life of productivity 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:39.260 by daily dependence on his instruction and his counsel. 00:07:39.400 --> 00:07:42.720 Hey, throw your net on the right side of the boat. 00:07:42.820 --> 00:07:45.120 We can spend a lot of energy 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:50.720 in a frustrating and ineffective way of living 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:52.940 when we're relying upon our own wisdom 00:07:52.940 --> 00:07:56.760 rather than relying upon the leading and the instruction of Christ. 00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:03.560 So last week, hey, when you live your life in Christ, 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:05.079 you live it productively 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.639 when you are allowing the Word of God 00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:10.879 and the Word of Christ to minister, instruct, 00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:13.039 and govern the way in which you live. 00:08:15.099 --> 00:08:18.699 This morning, we are going to see that living the life in Christ 00:08:18.699 --> 00:08:20.219 will lead us to service, 00:08:21.219 --> 00:08:22.980 to sacrifice, 00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:24.980 and to submission. 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.740 You look there in John chapter 21, verse 15, 00:08:30.899 --> 00:08:34.740 and mark the repetition of the things that we find here. 00:08:34.899 --> 00:08:36.919 We want to draw attention 00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:39.299 without getting into all the nuanced details 00:08:39.299 --> 00:08:42.620 because the overarching issue is the matter of what we do 00:08:42.620 --> 00:08:44.480 when we are living in Christ. 00:08:44.700 --> 00:08:46.779 But let's take just a second and understand 00:08:46.779 --> 00:08:50.759 that here the night had passed of work. 00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:52.819 They had finished breakfast, 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:54.220 and after it was all over, 00:08:54.220 --> 00:08:57.440 you can kind of imagine that here is Jesus 00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:00.340 speaking in a very poignant and personal way to Peter, 00:09:00.560 --> 00:09:01.800 and he asks him a question. 00:09:01.899 --> 00:09:02.120 He says, 00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:04.279 Do you love me more than these? 00:09:06.740 --> 00:09:08.420 Bible scholars go back and forth 00:09:08.420 --> 00:09:10.560 about what these refers to, 00:09:10.660 --> 00:09:12.660 and I think that it refers predominantly 00:09:12.660 --> 00:09:14.700 to the issues of things that are around there, 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:16.259 the boat and the life 00:09:16.259 --> 00:09:19.100 and other things that Peter had for a moment 00:09:19.100 --> 00:09:20.000 really enjoyed. 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.659 What Jesus is reminding Peter of 00:09:23.659 --> 00:09:24.860 is the reality of this 00:09:24.860 --> 00:09:26.580 is that our faith brings us 00:09:26.580 --> 00:09:28.059 into a very personal 00:09:28.059 --> 00:09:31.559 and relational bond 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:32.379 with the Savior 00:09:32.379 --> 00:09:34.259 that is the Lord of our lives. 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:38.480 And when Jesus asked him this question, 00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:40.720 I cannot help but imagine 00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:42.899 that when Peter heard this question, 00:09:43.059 --> 00:09:44.539 it kind of stung a little bit. 00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:44.919 Why? 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:47.639 What had Peter done not too long ago? 00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:49.860 He denied the Lord how many times? 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:50.720 Three times. 00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:55.199 And so here is Jesus 00:09:55.199 --> 00:09:57.659 asking Peter, 00:09:58.019 --> 00:09:58.799 Do you love me? 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:01.120 I do think it's appropriate for us 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.039 to recognize that faith in Christ 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:04.059 brings us, 00:10:04.500 --> 00:10:05.539 not just brings Peter 00:10:05.539 --> 00:10:06.759 or brought Peter, 00:10:07.019 --> 00:10:07.840 but brings us 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:09.299 into a very personal 00:10:09.299 --> 00:10:10.460 and loving relationship 00:10:10.460 --> 00:10:11.700 with the Lord Jesus. 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:12.960 And so it's a fair question 00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:14.939 for you to ask yourselves this morning, 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:15.799 and let me tell you this, 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:17.319 whether you do or not, 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:19.679 whether it resonates 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:21.599 in your heart or not, 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:24.219 if you know Christ, 00:10:24.620 --> 00:10:25.959 the operating principle 00:10:25.959 --> 00:10:26.659 of your life 00:10:26.659 --> 00:10:27.620 is going to be this, 00:10:27.899 --> 00:10:28.899 do I love him? 00:10:29.719 --> 00:10:31.719 And does my life indicate 00:10:31.719 --> 00:10:33.459 the authenticity 00:10:33.459 --> 00:10:35.439 of my love for him? 00:10:37.199 --> 00:10:38.919 He has a right 00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:41.059 to be loved by you 00:10:41.059 --> 00:10:42.839 because he is the lover 00:10:42.839 --> 00:10:44.379 of your soul. 00:10:44.379 --> 00:10:47.200 and you 00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:49.179 are obligated 00:10:49.179 --> 00:10:49.939 to love him. 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:52.379 So here is Jesus 00:10:52.379 --> 00:10:53.919 saying to Peter, 00:10:54.340 --> 00:10:56.820 Do you love me? 00:10:57.919 --> 00:10:58.620 Now when Peter 00:10:58.620 --> 00:10:59.460 heard this question, 00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.399 as a good Jewish man, 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:04.379 he knew 00:11:04.379 --> 00:11:05.220 what the Scriptures 00:11:05.220 --> 00:11:05.779 commanded. 00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:06.480 Isn't that right? 00:11:07.439 --> 00:11:08.120 Thou shalt love 00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:08.960 the Lord thy God 00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:09.799 with all thy heart, 00:11:09.899 --> 00:11:11.200 with all thy might, 00:11:11.299 --> 00:11:12.159 with all thy soul, 00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:14.240 with all your strength. 00:11:15.179 --> 00:11:16.100 Appreciate the song 00:11:16.100 --> 00:11:16.959 we sang this morning 00:11:16.959 --> 00:11:17.939 or listened to 00:11:17.939 --> 00:11:19.059 in relationship to that. 00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:21.240 We are to love the Lord, 00:11:21.319 --> 00:11:22.500 and here is Jesus 00:11:22.500 --> 00:11:23.740 asking Peter 00:11:23.740 --> 00:11:25.179 three times. 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:28.659 How do you think 00:11:28.659 --> 00:11:29.539 that affected Peter 00:11:29.539 --> 00:11:30.620 to have him ask 00:11:30.620 --> 00:11:31.179 three times? 00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:32.219 We know in the passage 00:11:32.219 --> 00:11:33.579 what it says there. 00:11:33.659 --> 00:11:34.259 If you look down 00:11:34.259 --> 00:11:35.019 just for a moment 00:11:35.019 --> 00:11:36.919 in verse 16, 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:37.220 he says, 00:11:37.220 --> 00:11:37.800 Yes, Lord, 00:11:37.899 --> 00:11:39.040 you know that I love you. 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:40.240 And then in 17, 00:11:40.660 --> 00:11:41.500 it says Peter 00:11:41.500 --> 00:11:42.519 was grieved. 00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:46.180 I don't think 00:11:46.180 --> 00:11:47.019 that Jesus 00:11:47.019 --> 00:11:48.399 pulled Peter 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:49.240 over to the side 00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:49.840 and whispered 00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:50.300 in his ear, 00:11:50.560 --> 00:11:50.740 Hey, 00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:52.259 do you love me? 00:11:53.420 --> 00:11:54.399 I would imagine 00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:55.259 that what happened 00:11:55.259 --> 00:11:55.920 was right there 00:11:55.920 --> 00:11:56.580 in the context 00:11:56.580 --> 00:11:57.580 because we know 00:11:57.580 --> 00:11:58.379 John heard it. 00:11:59.779 --> 00:12:00.920 Right in the context 00:12:00.920 --> 00:12:02.019 of the breakfast 00:12:02.019 --> 00:12:03.379 and all that was going on, 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:04.740 Jesus speaks to Peter 00:12:04.740 --> 00:12:05.040 and says, 00:12:05.100 --> 00:12:05.200 Hey, 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:06.259 do you love me? 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:07.819 Do you love me? 00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:09.059 Do you love me? 00:12:10.939 --> 00:12:11.720 And so here, 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:13.159 as Peter responds 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:14.080 in each instance, 00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:14.840 we find that 00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:17.360 there is a ratcheted up 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:18.519 attention to this issue 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:19.539 in Peter's conscience. 00:12:19.819 --> 00:12:21.000 And so you ask yourself 00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:21.460 the question, 00:12:21.700 --> 00:12:23.120 Why did Jesus ask Peter 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:24.019 three times, 00:12:24.139 --> 00:12:24.840 Do you love me? 00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:27.279 Why? 00:12:29.779 --> 00:12:30.600 We do know 00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:31.120 in the Scripture 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:32.700 that using something 00:12:32.700 --> 00:12:33.960 threefold times 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:36.220 is a way of emphasizing 00:12:36.220 --> 00:12:37.320 of amplifying, 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:38.220 of drawing attention 00:12:38.220 --> 00:12:38.720 to it. 00:12:39.180 --> 00:12:40.340 And if you remember 00:12:40.340 --> 00:12:41.080 back from when 00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:42.139 you were in school 00:12:42.139 --> 00:12:44.040 or now that you are 00:12:44.040 --> 00:12:44.560 in school, 00:12:44.660 --> 00:12:45.139 either way, 00:12:45.220 --> 00:12:45.820 when the teacher 00:12:45.820 --> 00:12:46.740 repeats something 00:12:46.740 --> 00:12:48.100 three times in a row, 00:12:48.220 --> 00:12:49.000 what's the significance 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:49.580 of that? 00:12:49.660 --> 00:12:52.220 This will be on the test. 00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:55.379 Jesus says to him, 00:12:55.560 --> 00:12:56.240 Do you love me? 00:12:56.800 --> 00:12:57.560 Do you love me? 00:12:58.120 --> 00:12:58.820 Do you love me? 00:12:58.820 --> 00:12:59.460 Do you love me? 00:12:59.460 --> 00:12:59.860 Do you love me? 00:12:59.860 --> 00:13:00.100 Do you love me? 00:13:00.100 --> 00:13:00.500 Do you love me? 00:13:00.500 --> 00:13:02.040 And as you read here 00:13:02.040 --> 00:13:02.720 in the Gospel, 00:13:02.900 --> 00:13:03.480 you recognize 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:04.600 that what Jesus 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:05.600 is making very, 00:13:05.740 --> 00:13:06.400 very clear 00:13:06.400 --> 00:13:08.300 is that there is 00:13:08.300 --> 00:13:09.040 a significance 00:13:09.040 --> 00:13:10.260 and a sobriety 00:13:10.260 --> 00:13:11.340 to this issue 00:13:11.340 --> 00:13:12.320 of loving Christ 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.520 that should not be missed 00:13:14.520 --> 00:13:16.400 by any of us today. 00:13:18.780 --> 00:13:20.560 Mark what Jesus 00:13:20.560 --> 00:13:21.440 has to say 00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:23.420 as Peter responds 00:13:23.420 --> 00:13:23.800 and says, 00:13:23.900 --> 00:13:24.820 Yes, I love you. 00:13:25.040 --> 00:13:25.940 He says there, 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:26.660 first of all, 00:13:26.659 --> 00:13:27.480 he says in 15, 00:13:27.819 --> 00:13:28.980 Feed my lambs. 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:31.779 He asks them again, 00:13:32.339 --> 00:13:33.279 Tend my sheep. 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:35.779 Verse 17, 00:13:36.219 --> 00:13:37.860 Feed my sheep. 00:13:39.199 --> 00:13:39.919 And so I want you 00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:40.799 to kind of recognize 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:43.120 that in this relationship 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:44.459 that you have 00:13:44.459 --> 00:13:45.719 with the Lord Jesus Christ 00:13:45.719 --> 00:13:46.879 who is the lover 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:48.100 of your soul, 00:13:48.539 --> 00:13:50.199 your response to him 00:13:50.199 --> 00:13:51.659 in loving him 00:13:51.659 --> 00:13:52.720 and the life 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:53.559 that you live 00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:54.720 in relationship 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:55.620 to that love 00:13:55.620 --> 00:13:56.879 is one that will 00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:57.779 draw you 00:13:57.779 --> 00:13:59.500 into serving 00:13:59.500 --> 00:14:01.159 other people. 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:05.279 How contrary 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:07.480 to the world 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:08.039 we live in. 00:14:09.779 --> 00:14:10.679 Remember when 00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:12.120 the disciples 00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:12.639 were having 00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:13.560 their little tiffs 00:14:13.560 --> 00:14:14.860 on more than one occasion 00:14:14.860 --> 00:14:15.580 about who was going 00:14:15.580 --> 00:14:16.580 to be the most significant 00:14:16.580 --> 00:14:18.360 and Jesus' response 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:19.179 and his instruction 00:14:19.179 --> 00:14:19.799 was this, 00:14:20.100 --> 00:14:20.980 is that those 00:14:20.980 --> 00:14:22.200 who are most significant 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:23.620 in the body of Christ 00:14:23.620 --> 00:14:24.580 are those that are 00:14:24.580 --> 00:14:25.379 actually engaged 00:14:25.379 --> 00:14:25.940 in serving. 00:14:27.379 --> 00:14:28.120 And here, 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:29.600 at the very end 00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:30.620 of this book, 00:14:30.700 --> 00:14:32.759 as John lays out 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:33.340 for us 00:14:33.340 --> 00:14:35.200 what life in Christ is, 00:14:35.419 --> 00:14:36.879 he drives this point home. 00:14:37.220 --> 00:14:38.919 If you love me, 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:40.639 you will serve 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:42.399 my sheep. 00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:50.279 I want you to recognize 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:51.480 that Jesus put it 00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:52.259 first of all 00:14:52.259 --> 00:14:54.559 as loving me 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:55.179 will bring you 00:14:55.179 --> 00:14:56.699 to feed my lambs. 00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:00.439 And he was calling Peter 00:15:00.439 --> 00:15:02.679 as well as everyone 00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:03.360 who is here 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:03.759 and says, 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:04.240 you know what, 00:15:04.259 --> 00:15:05.159 I love Jesus 00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:07.960 to care for those 00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:09.220 who are struggling 00:15:09.220 --> 00:15:10.379 and a little uncertain 00:15:10.379 --> 00:15:11.480 and a little unstable 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:13.419 and not always 00:15:13.419 --> 00:15:14.240 as mature 00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:15.100 as we would like 00:15:15.100 --> 00:15:15.820 them to be. 00:15:15.980 --> 00:15:17.620 And here is Jesus 00:15:17.620 --> 00:15:17.960 saying, 00:15:18.059 --> 00:15:18.720 I want you to feed 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:20.419 my lambs. 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:23.519 One of the things 00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:24.419 that I remember 00:15:24.419 --> 00:15:25.399 from my grandfather, 00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:27.179 he was a sheep farmer 00:15:27.179 --> 00:15:28.039 of sorts, 00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:29.860 and one of the things 00:15:29.860 --> 00:15:30.879 I learned very quickly 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:31.700 is that sheep 00:15:31.700 --> 00:15:33.700 are a very labor-intensive 00:15:33.700 --> 00:15:34.860 responsibility. 00:15:35.980 --> 00:15:37.080 They're close 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:37.840 to brain dead. 00:15:38.659 --> 00:15:39.700 If there's anything 00:15:39.700 --> 00:15:40.500 that you wish 00:15:40.500 --> 00:15:41.620 that sheep did not do, 00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:42.660 they will do it 00:15:42.660 --> 00:15:43.900 and they will complicate 00:15:43.900 --> 00:15:44.440 your life 00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:45.879 in any way conceivable. 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:49.360 If sheep are bad, 00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:50.420 lambs are worse. 00:15:52.940 --> 00:15:54.040 And here is Jesus 00:15:54.040 --> 00:15:55.100 saying that you, 00:15:55.379 --> 00:15:55.620 Peter, 00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:57.020 because you love me, 00:15:57.280 --> 00:15:58.520 are to care for those 00:15:58.520 --> 00:15:59.000 that are going 00:15:59.000 --> 00:15:59.780 to be a challenge 00:15:59.780 --> 00:16:00.480 to you. 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:03.980 I love what we read 00:16:03.980 --> 00:16:05.560 about the Lord Jesus 00:16:05.560 --> 00:16:06.860 in Isaiah chapter 40, 00:16:06.940 --> 00:16:07.460 verse 11. 00:16:07.800 --> 00:16:08.700 It says this about 00:16:08.700 --> 00:16:09.460 our great shepherd. 00:16:09.660 --> 00:16:09.879 It says, 00:16:10.520 --> 00:16:11.460 he will lead his flock 00:16:11.460 --> 00:16:12.220 like a shepherd. 00:16:12.860 --> 00:16:14.220 He will gather the lambs 00:16:14.220 --> 00:16:14.820 in his arms. 00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:16.020 He will carry them 00:16:16.020 --> 00:16:16.700 in his bosom 00:16:16.700 --> 00:16:18.640 and gently lead those 00:16:18.640 --> 00:16:19.640 that are with young. 00:16:21.040 --> 00:16:21.800 And I got to tell you, 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:22.840 if you're here this morning 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:24.460 and you are called 00:16:24.460 --> 00:16:25.860 by him in his grace 00:16:25.860 --> 00:16:27.040 and given salvation, 00:16:27.620 --> 00:16:28.320 you who have 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:29.520 that responsibility 00:16:29.520 --> 00:16:30.900 of loving him 00:16:30.900 --> 00:16:31.940 in response 00:16:31.940 --> 00:16:32.759 to what he's done 00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:33.200 for you, 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:34.480 you are to be engaged 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:35.400 in meeting the needs 00:16:35.400 --> 00:16:35.960 of others. 00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:38.040 That's what you're about. 00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:40.040 That's what you're about. 00:16:40.980 --> 00:16:42.160 I think about the passage 00:16:42.160 --> 00:16:43.540 over in Philippians chapter 2, 00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:44.600 verse 20 and 21, 00:16:44.820 --> 00:16:45.560 and you don't need 00:16:45.560 --> 00:16:46.460 to look at it this morning, 00:16:46.540 --> 00:16:47.320 but here is Paul 00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:48.700 talking about Timothy, 00:16:48.800 --> 00:16:49.420 and he says this, 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:50.620 I have no man 00:16:50.620 --> 00:16:51.900 who is like-minded 00:16:51.900 --> 00:16:52.820 who will naturally 00:16:52.820 --> 00:16:53.900 care for your estate, 00:16:54.139 --> 00:16:55.340 for all seek their own. 00:16:55.660 --> 00:16:56.540 Everybody's interested 00:16:56.540 --> 00:16:57.800 in what they're getting 00:16:57.800 --> 00:16:58.400 out of it. 00:16:59.300 --> 00:17:00.100 Not Timothy. 00:17:00.100 --> 00:17:00.220 Timothy. 00:17:00.220 --> 00:17:02.980 He naturally cares 00:17:02.980 --> 00:17:03.580 for the things 00:17:03.580 --> 00:17:05.039 that belong to Jesus Christ. 00:17:06.660 --> 00:17:07.640 There's something else 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:08.740 that needs to be said here. 00:17:10.120 --> 00:17:10.779 Loving him 00:17:10.779 --> 00:17:13.620 and life with him 00:17:13.620 --> 00:17:16.259 is a life that engages you 00:17:16.259 --> 00:17:17.539 with the body of Christ. 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:18.720 I think one of the things 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:20.940 that is a gross deficiency 00:17:20.940 --> 00:17:23.220 today in professing believers 00:17:23.220 --> 00:17:25.440 is that as a general rule, 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:27.259 there are a lot of people 00:17:27.259 --> 00:17:27.920 that don't mind 00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:29.079 showing up occasionally, 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:30.299 but when it comes 00:17:30.299 --> 00:17:31.879 to really investing deeply 00:17:31.879 --> 00:17:33.500 in the bride of Christ, 00:17:33.579 --> 00:17:34.679 in the body of Christ, 00:17:34.919 --> 00:17:36.799 in those who belong to him, 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:41.539 there's a level of hesitancy. 00:17:43.779 --> 00:17:45.799 And Jesus uses a phraseology 00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:47.039 that in Scripture 00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:48.839 is undeniably connected 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:50.359 to the relationship 00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:51.399 that he has 00:17:51.399 --> 00:17:53.559 with those that are his own, 00:17:53.919 --> 00:17:55.039 namely the church 00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:56.159 of the living God. 00:17:57.720 --> 00:17:59.059 Who are his sheep? 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:01.399 I'm reminded just for a moment 00:18:01.399 --> 00:18:01.939 of what it says 00:18:01.939 --> 00:18:02.720 over in Galatians. 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:03.879 It says that we are 00:18:03.879 --> 00:18:05.159 to do good to all. 00:18:05.539 --> 00:18:06.679 How many remember that passage? 00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:08.240 You are to do good to all, 00:18:08.500 --> 00:18:09.679 but what's the remainder of it? 00:18:10.179 --> 00:18:12.139 Especially those 00:18:12.139 --> 00:18:13.519 who are of the household of faith. 00:18:15.099 --> 00:18:15.819 And here's Jesus 00:18:15.819 --> 00:18:16.599 speaking to Peter. 00:18:16.679 --> 00:18:16.899 He says, 00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:17.199 Peter, 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:20.000 I want you to invest your life 00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:21.220 in taking care of those 00:18:21.220 --> 00:18:22.279 who belong to me. 00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:23.799 Does that mean 00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:24.559 that we are to have 00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:25.259 nothing to do 00:18:25.259 --> 00:18:26.059 with those outside 00:18:26.059 --> 00:18:26.859 the body of Christ? 00:18:26.859 --> 00:18:27.000 Yes, 00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:28.639 categorically not. 00:18:31.459 --> 00:18:32.319 But if I'm going 00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:33.039 to be responsible 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:34.479 for feeding and caring 00:18:34.479 --> 00:18:35.579 and encouraging 00:18:35.579 --> 00:18:36.319 and nurturing 00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:37.039 and serving, 00:18:37.439 --> 00:18:38.299 the first place 00:18:38.299 --> 00:18:39.339 it should be seen 00:18:39.339 --> 00:18:41.699 is in the family of God. 00:18:42.859 --> 00:18:43.500 I want to make 00:18:43.500 --> 00:18:44.259 that point clear. 00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:47.919 And I don't make that point 00:18:47.919 --> 00:18:48.419 on the basis 00:18:48.419 --> 00:18:49.219 of my preference, 00:18:49.399 --> 00:18:50.059 but I make it 00:18:50.059 --> 00:18:50.519 on the basis 00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:51.139 of the Scriptures. 00:18:52.899 --> 00:18:53.799 Let me have you think 00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:54.399 with me of a couple 00:18:54.399 --> 00:18:55.119 different passages 00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:56.199 in relationship to this. 00:18:56.299 --> 00:18:57.179 Turn over in your Bible 00:18:57.179 --> 00:18:58.659 to Acts chapter 20, 00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:00.639 verse 28. 00:19:02.899 --> 00:19:03.919 Here is Paul 00:19:03.919 --> 00:19:05.219 wrapping up his ministry 00:19:05.219 --> 00:19:06.019 to the elders 00:19:06.019 --> 00:19:07.279 of Ephesus 00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:09.399 and in his last statements 00:19:09.399 --> 00:19:10.019 to them, 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:11.179 he says this, 00:19:11.619 --> 00:19:12.719 pay careful attention 00:19:12.719 --> 00:19:13.459 to yourselves 00:19:13.459 --> 00:19:15.979 and to all the flock 00:19:15.979 --> 00:19:19.319 in which the Holy Spirit 00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:21.059 has made you overseers 00:19:21.059 --> 00:19:22.739 to care for the church 00:19:22.740 --> 00:19:23.420 of God 00:19:23.420 --> 00:19:24.660 which he obtained 00:19:24.660 --> 00:19:26.519 with his own blood. 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:32.380 1 Peter chapter 5, 00:19:33.380 --> 00:19:34.940 verse 2 and 3. 00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:37.799 Peter, as he writes 00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:38.660 to the elders, 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:40.640 he says, 00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:41.460 shepherd the flock 00:19:41.460 --> 00:19:41.859 of God 00:19:41.859 --> 00:19:42.640 that is among you 00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:44.039 exercising oversight 00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:45.759 not under compulsion 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:46.440 but willingly 00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:48.660 as God would have you 00:19:48.660 --> 00:19:49.920 not for shameful game 00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:50.640 but eagerly 00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:51.920 not domineering 00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:52.520 over those 00:19:52.520 --> 00:19:53.180 in your charge 00:19:53.180 --> 00:19:54.560 but being examples 00:19:54.560 --> 00:19:55.580 to the flock. 00:19:58.660 --> 00:19:59.940 I got to tell you something. 00:20:01.360 --> 00:20:02.100 Listen carefully. 00:20:03.560 --> 00:20:04.040 The Scriptures 00:20:04.040 --> 00:20:05.780 make it undeniably clear 00:20:05.780 --> 00:20:07.620 that loving Christ 00:20:07.620 --> 00:20:08.440 will put you 00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:09.759 into ongoing 00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:11.800 and lasting relationship 00:20:11.800 --> 00:20:13.340 with the bride of Christ. 00:20:16.280 --> 00:20:18.220 That's Bible truth. 00:20:19.040 --> 00:20:20.120 No substitute. 00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:22.440 Interestingly, 00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:23.020 this week 00:20:23.020 --> 00:20:23.800 as I was thinking 00:20:23.800 --> 00:20:25.200 about the application 00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:26.540 of this passage, 00:20:28.280 --> 00:20:29.920 one of the logical questions 00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:30.860 that came to mind 00:20:30.860 --> 00:20:31.420 is, okay, 00:20:31.600 --> 00:20:33.080 so Jesus makes it clear 00:20:33.080 --> 00:20:34.040 that if I love him, 00:20:34.180 --> 00:20:35.440 I'm going to be engaged 00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:36.400 in serving the body 00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:36.880 of Christ 00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:37.800 and I ask myself, 00:20:38.259 --> 00:20:39.200 do we here 00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:40.340 see illustrations 00:20:40.340 --> 00:20:41.120 of this? 00:20:44.320 --> 00:20:45.759 I began to make a list 00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:48.420 and it got long enough 00:20:48.420 --> 00:20:51.099 that I had to stop 00:20:51.099 --> 00:20:51.960 and scratch it out 00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:52.279 and say, 00:20:52.379 --> 00:20:52.839 you know what, 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:53.359 there's probably, 00:20:53.460 --> 00:20:54.579 I'm going to miss somebody. 00:20:55.859 --> 00:20:57.000 But I want to tell you, 00:20:57.740 --> 00:20:59.099 it's encouraging to me 00:20:59.099 --> 00:21:00.960 when I think about 00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:02.819 how servanthood 00:21:02.819 --> 00:21:04.119 in this fellowship 00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:05.980 is modeled to the point 00:21:05.980 --> 00:21:07.220 that it encourages me 00:21:07.220 --> 00:21:08.660 to see the way 00:21:08.660 --> 00:21:10.279 in which the bride 00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:11.039 of Christ 00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:11.879 is served. 00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:15.200 I was walking around 00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:15.760 this morning 00:21:15.760 --> 00:21:17.600 peeking in 00:21:17.600 --> 00:21:18.860 on Sunday school classes. 00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:22.100 How many of you 00:21:22.100 --> 00:21:22.880 know that I get emotional? 00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:23.480 Did you know that? 00:21:24.220 --> 00:21:27.060 And I was tearing up 00:21:27.060 --> 00:21:27.840 looking in the windows. 00:21:28.220 --> 00:21:29.060 What a blessing. 00:21:32.140 --> 00:21:33.140 But the truth of the matter 00:21:33.140 --> 00:21:34.060 is there are some of you 00:21:34.060 --> 00:21:34.740 sitting out here 00:21:34.740 --> 00:21:36.520 that I know you know Christ 00:21:36.520 --> 00:21:39.400 and you've chosen 00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:41.020 to live on the edges 00:21:41.019 --> 00:21:44.180 without much investment 00:21:44.180 --> 00:21:45.980 in the people 00:21:45.980 --> 00:21:47.079 that Jesus loves 00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:48.779 and has called you 00:21:48.779 --> 00:21:50.759 to bless and serve. 00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:53.379 And if you love him, 00:21:54.420 --> 00:21:55.400 you'll serve him. 00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:57.639 There's a second thing 00:21:57.639 --> 00:21:58.339 that you find there 00:21:58.339 --> 00:21:59.019 in the passage. 00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:00.379 Mark it clearly. 00:22:02.019 --> 00:22:03.339 Verse 18 says, 00:22:03.460 --> 00:22:03.940 Truly, truly, 00:22:04.059 --> 00:22:04.619 I say to you, 00:22:04.639 --> 00:22:05.339 when you were young, 00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:06.740 you used to dress yourself 00:22:06.740 --> 00:22:07.960 and walk wherever you wanted. 00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:09.099 But when you are old, 00:22:09.139 --> 00:22:10.339 you will stretch out your hands 00:22:10.339 --> 00:22:11.480 and another will dress you 00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:12.439 and carry you 00:22:12.439 --> 00:22:14.079 where you do not want to go. 00:22:16.899 --> 00:22:17.740 Life in Christ 00:22:17.740 --> 00:22:18.419 is going to lead you 00:22:18.419 --> 00:22:19.699 to suffering and to sacrifice. 00:22:23.939 --> 00:22:24.959 Life in Christ 00:22:24.959 --> 00:22:28.199 is going to give you 00:22:28.199 --> 00:22:29.500 opportunities to suffer 00:22:29.500 --> 00:22:30.259 and to sacrifice. 00:22:33.299 --> 00:22:34.459 In Peter's case, 00:22:34.539 --> 00:22:35.480 it meant that he died 00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:36.379 a martyr's death 00:22:36.380 --> 00:22:37.660 and at least according 00:22:37.660 --> 00:22:38.640 to church history 00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:39.240 or rumor, 00:22:39.740 --> 00:22:41.120 when it came time 00:22:41.120 --> 00:22:42.320 for him to be martyred 00:22:42.320 --> 00:22:43.780 and to be executed, 00:22:44.320 --> 00:22:45.560 he chose to be crucified 00:22:45.560 --> 00:22:46.840 upside down 00:22:46.840 --> 00:22:48.260 because he would prefer 00:22:48.260 --> 00:22:49.380 not to be hung 00:22:49.380 --> 00:22:50.980 in the manner 00:22:50.980 --> 00:22:52.480 in which his Savior was. 00:22:53.780 --> 00:22:54.940 But Jesus made it clear 00:22:54.940 --> 00:22:55.400 that, Peter, 00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:56.200 you're going to suffer 00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:56.920 for your faith. 00:22:57.320 --> 00:22:58.320 And if you were to read 00:22:58.320 --> 00:22:59.680 1 Peter and 2 Peter, 00:22:59.840 --> 00:23:01.240 you can see in both 00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:02.000 of those books 00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:02.620 that he wrote 00:23:02.620 --> 00:23:03.580 that he understood 00:23:03.579 --> 00:23:04.339 what was coming 00:23:04.339 --> 00:23:05.759 and it wasn't least 00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:07.220 bit off-putting for him. 00:23:09.379 --> 00:23:10.220 And I want to make 00:23:10.220 --> 00:23:11.000 it clear to you 00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:12.799 that loving Christ 00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:14.759 and living the life 00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:15.439 that he calls 00:23:15.439 --> 00:23:16.339 a believer to 00:23:16.339 --> 00:23:17.019 will be one 00:23:17.019 --> 00:23:18.099 that involves 00:23:18.099 --> 00:23:18.899 your suffering 00:23:18.899 --> 00:23:19.799 and your sacrifice. 00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:23.240 One of the things 00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:23.779 I appreciate 00:23:23.779 --> 00:23:24.599 about the Word of God 00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:25.879 is that it is so up front 00:23:25.879 --> 00:23:27.519 about the cost of faith. 00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:28.099 Isn't that right? 00:23:29.220 --> 00:23:30.159 It tells you, 00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:31.639 if you're going 00:23:31.639 --> 00:23:32.379 to follow me, 00:23:32.380 --> 00:23:33.120 there's going to be 00:23:33.120 --> 00:23:33.680 some hardship 00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:34.580 and some heartache 00:23:34.580 --> 00:23:35.260 and there are going 00:23:35.260 --> 00:23:36.380 to be some disappointments, 00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:36.840 there's going to be 00:23:36.840 --> 00:23:37.420 difficulty, 00:23:37.760 --> 00:23:38.500 and you might as well 00:23:38.500 --> 00:23:40.080 face it going into it. 00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:45.640 When Jesus wrote 00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:46.220 what he did, 00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:49.120 it's clear that Peter 00:23:49.120 --> 00:23:50.020 understood that. 00:23:52.120 --> 00:23:53.340 And he accepted it. 00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:55.460 Do I love you? 00:23:55.560 --> 00:23:55.960 Yes. 00:23:56.900 --> 00:23:57.300 Serve. 00:23:58.440 --> 00:23:59.400 Do you love me? 00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:00.120 Yes. 00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:01.739 Then be prepared 00:24:01.739 --> 00:24:02.959 to endure the hardship 00:24:02.959 --> 00:24:03.639 and heartaches 00:24:03.639 --> 00:24:05.699 that come with serving me 00:24:05.699 --> 00:24:07.119 and being a representative 00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:07.759 in the world 00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:08.899 that he's placed us in. 00:24:11.159 --> 00:24:11.679 You know, 00:24:11.819 --> 00:24:13.019 we live in America, 00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:13.839 in a country 00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:15.259 that for the present time 00:24:15.259 --> 00:24:16.159 is enjoying 00:24:16.159 --> 00:24:17.739 a relative amount 00:24:17.739 --> 00:24:18.699 of freedom 00:24:18.699 --> 00:24:19.899 in our faith. 00:24:19.939 --> 00:24:20.479 Isn't that right? 00:24:22.059 --> 00:24:22.839 I don't think 00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:23.619 it's going to last. 00:24:23.619 --> 00:24:26.559 But you know what? 00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:30.019 When hardship 00:24:30.019 --> 00:24:31.479 and difficulty 00:24:31.479 --> 00:24:32.159 come, 00:24:33.159 --> 00:24:35.179 we have to realize 00:24:35.179 --> 00:24:36.099 that it comes 00:24:36.099 --> 00:24:37.399 because of his purposes 00:24:37.399 --> 00:24:38.339 and his grace 00:24:38.339 --> 00:24:40.079 and it will give us 00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:40.839 opportunity 00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:42.599 to represent him 00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:43.179 faithfully 00:24:43.179 --> 00:24:43.739 in the world 00:24:43.739 --> 00:24:44.919 in which he's placed us. 00:24:46.119 --> 00:24:47.739 So how should we respond 00:24:47.739 --> 00:24:48.579 when hardship 00:24:48.579 --> 00:24:49.659 and difficulties come? 00:24:49.659 --> 00:24:50.759 Let me have you reference 00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:51.659 two different passages 00:24:51.659 --> 00:24:52.859 in relationship to that. 00:24:52.859 --> 00:24:54.039 Turn over in your Bible 00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:55.419 to Romans chapter 5 00:24:55.419 --> 00:24:56.559 and let me just read 00:24:56.559 --> 00:24:56.899 for you 00:24:56.899 --> 00:24:57.919 verse 3 through 5. 00:24:59.219 --> 00:24:59.579 Then, 00:24:59.699 --> 00:25:00.579 more than that, 00:25:00.659 --> 00:25:01.279 we rejoice 00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:02.319 in our sufferings 00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:03.359 knowing that suffering 00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:04.339 produces endurance. 00:25:08.500 --> 00:25:09.219 What do you think 00:25:09.219 --> 00:25:09.619 about that? 00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:13.119 Let me read it again. 00:25:14.779 --> 00:25:15.679 More than that, 00:25:15.740 --> 00:25:16.339 we rejoice 00:25:16.339 --> 00:25:17.240 in our sufferings 00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:18.539 knowing that suffering 00:25:18.539 --> 00:25:19.939 produces endurance. 00:25:19.940 --> 00:25:20.220 endurance. 00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:23.580 And endurance 00:25:23.580 --> 00:25:24.600 produces character 00:25:24.600 --> 00:25:25.180 and character 00:25:25.180 --> 00:25:26.039 produces hope. 00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:27.460 And hope does not 00:25:27.460 --> 00:25:28.360 put us to shame 00:25:28.360 --> 00:25:29.440 because God's love 00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:30.340 has been poured 00:25:30.340 --> 00:25:31.039 into our hearts 00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:31.860 through the Holy Spirit 00:25:31.860 --> 00:25:33.140 who has been given 00:25:33.140 --> 00:25:34.120 to us. 00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:37.120 Let me have you look 00:25:37.120 --> 00:25:37.820 at another passage 00:25:37.820 --> 00:25:39.200 over in James chapter 1. 00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:43.019 James chapter 1. 00:25:43.019 --> 00:25:47.039 Verse 2, 00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:48.819 Count it all joy, 00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:49.339 my brothers, 00:25:49.420 --> 00:25:49.920 when you meet 00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:50.819 various trials, 00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:52.220 for you know 00:25:52.220 --> 00:25:52.920 that the testing 00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:53.559 of your faith 00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:54.980 produces steadfastness 00:25:54.980 --> 00:25:56.700 and let steadfastness 00:25:56.700 --> 00:25:58.460 have its full effect 00:25:58.460 --> 00:25:59.539 that you may be perfect 00:25:59.539 --> 00:26:00.240 and complete, 00:26:00.700 --> 00:26:01.700 lacking in nothing. 00:26:01.700 --> 00:26:08.360 You're not going 00:26:08.360 --> 00:26:08.880 to grow 00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:11.580 apart from challenge. 00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:13.960 You're not going 00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:14.600 to mature 00:26:14.600 --> 00:26:15.500 in the absence 00:26:15.500 --> 00:26:16.360 of difficulty. 00:26:17.980 --> 00:26:19.080 And when we think 00:26:19.080 --> 00:26:20.000 about the reality 00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:22.000 of what our relationship 00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:22.759 with Christ 00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:24.100 calls us to, 00:26:24.360 --> 00:26:25.920 it is an undeniable 00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:27.140 fact that we are 00:26:27.140 --> 00:26:28.100 going to continue 00:26:28.100 --> 00:26:29.900 on an upward journey 00:26:29.900 --> 00:26:30.799 that is going to be 00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:31.839 marked by hardship 00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:32.700 and difficulty. 00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:33.799 And in the midst 00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:34.419 of all of that, 00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:35.200 we need to remember 00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:36.019 the promise 00:26:36.019 --> 00:26:37.139 that Jesus made to us. 00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:38.019 I will never, 00:26:38.180 --> 00:26:38.399 what? 00:26:38.980 --> 00:26:39.799 I'll never leave you 00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:40.639 or forsake you. 00:26:41.259 --> 00:26:42.460 Lo, I am with you 00:26:42.460 --> 00:26:43.180 always. 00:26:45.859 --> 00:26:46.799 But if we are going 00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:48.440 to live life in Christ, 00:26:48.539 --> 00:26:49.339 we are going 00:26:49.339 --> 00:26:50.440 to face hardship. 00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:51.339 I got to tell you, 00:26:51.940 --> 00:26:54.139 we sometimes get 00:26:54.139 --> 00:26:55.339 so wrapped up 00:26:55.339 --> 00:26:56.139 with things 00:26:56.139 --> 00:26:57.500 that we're anxious about 00:26:57.500 --> 00:26:58.859 because they reflect 00:26:58.859 --> 00:27:00.339 our lack of confidence 00:27:00.339 --> 00:27:02.039 that He is in control 00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:02.679 of the moment 00:27:02.679 --> 00:27:03.559 and He knows 00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:04.240 what He's doing 00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:05.740 and it's good for us. 00:27:09.579 --> 00:27:10.299 So I want you 00:27:10.299 --> 00:27:10.779 to understand 00:27:10.779 --> 00:27:11.459 that faith, 00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:13.359 the life that you live 00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:13.919 in Christ, 00:27:14.740 --> 00:27:15.879 is going to be marked 00:27:15.879 --> 00:27:16.459 by hardship. 00:27:17.679 --> 00:27:18.839 Be real about it. 00:27:19.659 --> 00:27:20.439 Understand it's not 00:27:20.439 --> 00:27:21.039 an accident, 00:27:21.339 --> 00:27:21.959 but it's something 00:27:21.959 --> 00:27:22.980 that He is allowing 00:27:22.980 --> 00:27:23.959 and it's there 00:27:23.959 --> 00:27:24.579 for a purpose. 00:27:24.740 --> 00:27:25.259 It is there 00:27:25.259 --> 00:27:26.099 to encourage 00:27:26.099 --> 00:27:27.059 and strengthen us 00:27:27.059 --> 00:27:27.839 and help us 00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:28.659 grow in grace. 00:27:28.660 --> 00:27:31.440 We'll come to 00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:32.060 one more part 00:27:32.060 --> 00:27:33.080 there in verse 20 00:27:33.080 --> 00:27:33.700 through 23 00:27:33.700 --> 00:27:36.140 and here is 00:27:36.140 --> 00:27:38.600 Jesus speaking again 00:27:38.600 --> 00:27:41.160 and as He's clarified, 00:27:42.019 --> 00:27:43.100 you find Peter 00:27:43.100 --> 00:27:44.960 a little concerned. 00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:47.900 Peter turned 00:27:47.900 --> 00:27:48.800 and saw the disciple 00:27:48.800 --> 00:27:50.259 whom Jesus loved 00:27:50.259 --> 00:27:51.060 following them, 00:27:51.140 --> 00:27:51.700 the one who'd been 00:27:51.700 --> 00:27:52.580 reclining at the table 00:27:52.580 --> 00:27:53.200 close to Him 00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:53.940 and had said, 00:27:54.080 --> 00:27:54.800 Lord, who is it 00:27:54.800 --> 00:27:55.220 that is going 00:27:55.220 --> 00:27:55.860 to betray You? 00:27:55.859 --> 00:27:57.139 When Peter saw Him, 00:27:57.359 --> 00:27:58.199 he said to Jesus, 00:27:58.379 --> 00:27:59.139 Lord, what about 00:27:59.139 --> 00:27:59.859 this man? 00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:04.839 Faith leads 00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:05.399 to humility. 00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:08.419 It leads 00:28:08.419 --> 00:28:09.079 to submission. 00:28:11.379 --> 00:28:12.199 If you ever 00:28:12.199 --> 00:28:12.979 find yourself 00:28:12.979 --> 00:28:14.019 a little frustrated 00:28:14.019 --> 00:28:14.839 with your journey 00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:15.500 of faith, 00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:17.199 remind yourself 00:28:17.199 --> 00:28:17.859 that Peter 00:28:17.859 --> 00:28:19.179 was out in front 00:28:19.179 --> 00:28:19.459 of you. 00:28:20.699 --> 00:28:21.579 Here is the 00:28:21.579 --> 00:28:22.659 close of the book. 00:28:22.660 --> 00:28:24.900 Here is Jesus 00:28:24.900 --> 00:28:26.240 with His last words 00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:26.779 to Peter 00:28:26.779 --> 00:28:27.720 and He's at the, 00:28:28.040 --> 00:28:28.680 Do you love me? 00:28:28.740 --> 00:28:29.340 Do you love me? 00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:30.000 Do you love me? 00:28:30.060 --> 00:28:30.740 Will you serve me? 00:28:30.820 --> 00:28:31.460 Will you serve me? 00:28:31.560 --> 00:28:33.060 Will you follow? 00:28:33.180 --> 00:28:34.140 Will you die for me? 00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:36.720 And when it's all 00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:37.480 the smoke and dust 00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:37.840 is cleared, 00:28:37.940 --> 00:28:38.420 Peter says, 00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:39.860 Yeah, but what about him? 00:28:40.940 --> 00:28:41.340 I was like, 00:28:41.580 -->

him 00:29:59.960 --> 00:30:00.539 more than me. 00:30:03.420 --> 00:30:03.579 Yeah, 00:30:03.940 --> 00:30:05.680 you play favorites. 00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:14.700 there's a passage that my children 00:30:14.700 --> 00:30:16.820 heard so often. 00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:20.140 I can give it to you 00:30:20.140 --> 00:30:20.779 in the King James 00:30:20.779 --> 00:30:21.420 because that's the way 00:30:21.420 --> 00:30:22.019 I learned it 00:30:22.019 --> 00:30:23.539 and then had them memorize it. 00:30:23.580 --> 00:30:23.700 It was, 00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:24.680 what is that to thee? 00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:26.060 Follow thou me. 00:30:26.059 --> 00:30:29.059 My kids, 00:30:29.339 --> 00:30:31.019 there's two of them here 00:30:31.019 --> 00:30:31.619 this morning 00:30:31.619 --> 00:30:34.299 and on more than one occasion 00:30:34.299 --> 00:30:35.359 they would come to me 00:30:35.359 --> 00:30:36.059 to lament, 00:30:36.339 --> 00:30:36.779 complain, 00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:37.619 whine. 00:30:37.899 --> 00:30:39.500 That's the generic. 00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:40.980 They would let me know 00:30:40.980 --> 00:30:42.679 just how unreasonable 00:30:42.679 --> 00:30:43.240 it was 00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:44.139 that I was expecting 00:30:44.139 --> 00:30:44.679 one of them 00:30:44.679 --> 00:30:45.659 to carry out the garbage 00:30:45.659 --> 00:30:46.759 instead of all four. 00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:47.720 You know, 00:30:47.779 --> 00:30:47.940 or, 00:30:48.619 --> 00:30:50.259 my kids were, 00:30:50.559 --> 00:30:51.920 I seriously thought 00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:52.379 at one point 00:30:52.379 --> 00:30:52.920 they were going to all 00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:53.619 become attorneys. 00:30:55.940 --> 00:30:57.400 Every point was contested. 00:30:58.859 --> 00:30:59.599 And so eventually 00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:00.700 as I began to dive 00:31:00.700 --> 00:31:01.299 into the scriptures 00:31:01.299 --> 00:31:01.859 a little bit more 00:31:01.859 --> 00:31:02.700 I realized there was 00:31:02.700 --> 00:31:03.759 a perfect Bible verse. 00:31:04.140 --> 00:31:04.740 It was this one. 00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:05.700 What is that to thee? 00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:06.519 Follow thou me. 00:31:06.700 --> 00:31:07.259 Suck it up. 00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:08.339 Do what I ask. 00:31:15.460 --> 00:31:16.379 Do you know what life 00:31:16.380 --> 00:31:17.100 in Christ is going 00:31:17.100 --> 00:31:17.760 to mean for you? 00:31:19.560 --> 00:31:20.480 It means doing 00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:21.560 what he's put in front of you 00:31:21.560 --> 00:31:22.140 and that's the end 00:31:22.140 --> 00:31:22.740 of the story. 00:31:28.700 --> 00:31:29.680 I respect, 00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.100 I respect 00:31:33.100 --> 00:31:35.900 people who stay at it 00:31:35.900 --> 00:31:37.140 and keep on serving 00:31:37.140 --> 00:31:38.680 year after year 00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:39.540 after year 00:31:39.540 --> 00:31:40.420 quietly 00:31:40.420 --> 00:31:41.760 because they are submitting 00:31:41.760 --> 00:31:43.520 to the call of God 00:31:43.520 --> 00:31:44.700 and nothing else. 00:31:46.380 --> 00:31:50.940 I respect 00:31:50.940 --> 00:31:55.040 the way in which 00:31:55.040 --> 00:31:56.420 those who are 00:31:56.420 --> 00:31:58.200 actively engaged 00:31:58.200 --> 00:31:59.060 in ministry here 00:31:59.060 --> 00:32:00.480 can be counted on 00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:02.780 to do what needs 00:32:02.780 --> 00:32:03.360 to be done 00:32:03.360 --> 00:32:06.620 without fanfare, 00:32:07.380 --> 00:32:08.280 without coddling 00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:11.359 because they understand 00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:12.599 that is God's call 00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:13.539 in their lives. 00:32:19.779 --> 00:32:21.220 And so this morning 00:32:21.220 --> 00:32:22.119 as we think about 00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:23.500 how John ends, 00:32:23.500 --> 00:32:30.839 we see the glory of Christ, 00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:33.920 the Savior of the world 00:32:33.920 --> 00:32:36.000 who came 00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:38.519 to save you 00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:40.480 and to connect 00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:41.740 into your life 00:32:41.740 --> 00:32:43.059 in a very personal 00:32:43.059 --> 00:32:44.099 and real way. 00:32:45.099 --> 00:32:46.180 And he says 00:32:46.180 --> 00:32:48.240 three pointed truths. 00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:50.799 you 00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:52.460 who love me 00:32:52.460 --> 00:32:53.880 be engaged 00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:54.940 in serving. 00:32:57.539 --> 00:32:58.900 You who love me 00:32:58.900 --> 00:33:02.079 endure hardship 00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:05.099 and don't spend 00:33:05.099 --> 00:33:05.579 the majority 00:33:05.579 --> 00:33:06.120 of your time 00:33:06.120 --> 00:33:06.799 whining about 00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:07.720 how hard it is. 00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:11.039 the finish line 00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:12.500 is not that far 00:33:12.500 --> 00:33:13.380 in front. 00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:18.700 You who love me 00:33:18.700 --> 00:33:21.120 accept 00:33:21.120 --> 00:33:22.200 the call 00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:23.559 and the responsibilities 00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:24.480 that I've given 00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:24.960 to you 00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:26.039 and serve 00:33:26.039 --> 00:33:27.960 with faithfulness. 00:33:31.460 --> 00:33:32.720 So how do we close 00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:33.500 the book of John? 00:33:33.500 --> 00:33:37.480 It is by understanding 00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:38.160 that he 00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:39.619 who is your Savior 00:33:39.619 --> 00:33:41.960 has a high 00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:43.240 call 00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:45.299 in your life 00:33:45.299 --> 00:33:47.299 and I challenge you 00:33:47.299 --> 00:33:48.400 to fix your eyes 00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:49.640 on Jesus. 00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:51.660 Let's close. 00:33:59.099 --> 00:34:00.039 Father God, 00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:00.619 this morning 00:34:00.619 --> 00:34:02.519 we rejoice 00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:03.319 in the Lord Jesus 00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:03.779 Christ 00:34:03.779 --> 00:34:04.679 who is our Savior. 00:34:06.740 --> 00:34:07.919 We who know you 00:34:07.919 --> 00:34:08.639 as our God 00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:09.159 and Savior 00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:09.779 thank you 00:34:09.779 --> 00:34:10.579 for salvation. 00:34:12.980 --> 00:34:13.819 We thank you 00:34:13.819 --> 00:34:14.719 that you lifted us 00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:15.619 out of death 00:34:15.619 --> 00:34:16.219 and darkness 00:34:16.219 --> 00:34:17.299 and you have made us 00:34:17.299 --> 00:34:18.039 to be servants 00:34:18.039 --> 00:34:19.059 of the living God. 00:34:22.900 --> 00:34:24.079 I pray this morning 00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:25.239 that those who are here 00:34:25.239 --> 00:34:26.519 that do not know Christ 00:34:26.519 --> 00:34:27.480 would be drawn 00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:28.199 to the cross 00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:30.759 and those 00:34:30.759 --> 00:34:31.279 that are here 00:34:31.279 --> 00:34:31.880 this morning 00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:32.719 that have been 00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:34.959 kind of drifting around 00:34:34.959 --> 00:34:35.819 uncertain 00:34:35.819 --> 00:34:38.480 would have it 00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:39.539 clearly etched 00:34:39.539 --> 00:34:40.339 into their mind 00:34:40.339 --> 00:34:41.719 that following Jesus 00:34:41.719 --> 00:34:43.480 and knowing him 00:34:43.480 --> 00:34:45.279 involves a life 00:34:45.279 --> 00:34:46.639 that is undeniably 00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:47.639 clear in the scriptures. 00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:51.279 and Lord, 00:34:51.379 --> 00:34:51.879 I recognize 00:34:51.879 --> 00:34:52.639 that for some 00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:53.460 this may be 00:34:53.460 --> 00:34:53.940 a day 00:34:53.940 --> 00:34:55.379 of rededication 00:34:55.379 --> 00:34:56.159 it may be 00:34:56.159 --> 00:34:56.859 a day 00:34:56.859 --> 00:34:58.619 of recommitting 00:34:58.619 --> 00:34:59.199 themselves 00:34:59.199 --> 00:34:59.839 to being 00:34:59.839 --> 00:35:00.359 what you've 00:35:00.359 --> 00:35:01.299 called them to be 00:35:01.299 --> 00:35:02.359 as your children 00:35:02.359 --> 00:35:03.379 and as your disciples. 00:35:07.099 --> 00:35:08.420 Help what we do 00:35:08.420 --> 00:35:10.259 to reflect 00:35:10.259 --> 00:35:11.579 what we know. 00:35:12.579 --> 00:35:14.199 We ask this in Jesus' name. 00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:14.939 Amen. 00:35:14.939 --> 00:35:15.099 Amen. 00:35:15.099 --> 00:35:15.099 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:15.859 00:35:15.860 --> 00:35:45.840 Thank you.
