00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.200
 What makes us unclean in God's sight?

00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:13.560
 What makes us unclean in God's sight?

00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:18.600
 The Bible talks about sin in a variety of different ways.

00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:24.120
 False worship, idolatry, rebellion, losing your way.

00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:38.039
 It talks about sin as sickness, as crossing a line, as missing the mark, as a stain, dirty

00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:39.060
 or unclean.

00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:45.120
 And we're going to be looking at a passage in Mark chapter 7 verses 1 through 23 in which

00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:51.480
 Jesus speaks about sin as that which defiles someone in God's sight.

00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:59.439
 Sin is something that's morally unclean, something that is morally dirty in God's sight.

00:00:59.539 --> 00:01:05.200
 The opposite of moral defilement is moral purity which is another way of talking about holiness.

00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:12.920
 So the question being asked in Mark chapter 7 verses 1 through 23 is what actually defiles

00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:14.900
 a human being in God's sight?

00:01:15.340 --> 00:01:17.579
 What makes us dirty in His eyes?

00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.219
 What makes us unclean in His sight?

00:01:21.219 --> 00:01:24.959
 Now if I were to ask you, why do you sin?

00:01:25.980 --> 00:01:30.280
 I'm guessing many of you would be able to give me a really concise answer.

00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:31.099
 Something like this.

00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:36.140
 Well Pastor Mike, I still sin because sin is still in me.

00:01:36.219 --> 00:01:40.960
 Even as a Christian, I am simultaneously justified and yet sinful.

00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:46.659
 I've got these sinful desires coming up from my flesh even though the Spirit has given me

00:01:46.659 --> 00:01:47.280
 a new heart.

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:58.000
 But even though you might be theologically precise in that, there's another question related to

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.159
 this that's a little bit more difficult to answer.

00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:07.020
 How are you at owning your sin?

00:02:07.019 --> 00:02:12.439
 How are you at taking responsibility for your sin?

00:02:15.579 --> 00:02:20.199
 If you're like me, I know not all of you are like me.

00:02:22.699 --> 00:02:28.759
 But if you're like me in this way, I tend to be slow to take responsibility for my sin

00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:32.599
 and I am really quick at blaming others for my sin.

00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:36.639
 The devil made me do it.

00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.139
 The world made me do it.

00:02:41.259 --> 00:02:44.299
 This person that sinned against me made me do it.

00:02:45.819 --> 00:02:47.120
 But here's the deal with all that.

00:02:47.219 --> 00:02:49.419
 This blame shifting that we're so prone to.

00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.359
 Even if there was no devil, I would still be sinning.

00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.519
 Even if we were not living in the world, I would still be sinning.

00:02:57.099 --> 00:02:57.560
 So would you.

00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:02.300
 Even if no one else ever sinned against me, I'd still be a sinner.

00:03:04.939 --> 00:03:08.500
 This is a classic and common mistake that we make.

00:03:08.620 --> 00:03:13.939
 We tend to push the blame of our sin outside of us.

00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:19.539
 And today Jesus blows it all up.

00:03:19.539 --> 00:03:25.139
 He's going to say the evil that defiles us.

00:03:25.459 --> 00:03:27.819
 Well, it doesn't come from outside of us.

00:03:29.519 --> 00:03:33.079
 The evil that defiles us, that makes us dirty in God's sight,

00:03:33.180 --> 00:03:35.799
 it actually comes from within us.

00:03:37.780 --> 00:03:41.199
 We are defiled not from the outside in,

00:03:41.579 --> 00:03:43.979
 but from the inside out.

00:03:43.979 --> 00:03:50.579
 Chapter 7, verses 1-23.

00:03:50.859 --> 00:03:52.639
 You can break them into two sections.

00:03:53.219 --> 00:03:54.560
 Verses 1-13.

00:03:55.060 --> 00:03:56.579
 There's a Q&A with Jesus.

00:03:56.939 --> 00:04:00.060
 It's the questions asked by Pharisees and scribes,

00:04:00.099 --> 00:04:01.399
 and Jesus answers it.

00:04:01.739 --> 00:04:03.919
 And then in verses 14-23,

00:04:04.079 --> 00:04:05.479
 there's another Q&A with Jesus,

00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:08.439
 but it's His disciples asking Him the question,

00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:10.019
 and Jesus answers it.

00:04:10.020 --> 00:04:11.159
 The first set of questions,

00:04:11.600 --> 00:04:14.820
 Jesus exposes a mistake of thinking

00:04:14.820 --> 00:04:17.120
 that we're defiled from the outside in.

00:04:17.379 --> 00:04:19.259
 And then in the latter part,

00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:21.240
 He corrects it.

00:04:21.819 --> 00:04:23.400
 And He explains it,

00:04:23.540 --> 00:04:26.500
 and He helps us to see that we are defiled in God's sight

00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:28.540
 from the inside out.

00:04:28.540 --> 00:04:30.939
 As Thomas Watson has said,

00:04:31.460 --> 00:04:33.800
 Till sin be bitter,

00:04:34.460 --> 00:04:36.960
 Christ will not be sweet.

00:04:40.019 --> 00:04:42.859
 So let's open our hearts

00:04:42.859 --> 00:04:44.779
 to what our Lord Jesus has to say.

00:04:44.899 --> 00:04:46.979
 You're going to need to behold your King this morning,

00:04:47.180 --> 00:04:49.639
 because He speaks with authority and clarity

00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.180
 on something that we all must hear.

00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:54.639
 And the question is,

00:04:54.819 --> 00:04:56.139
 is it true or not?

00:04:58.039 --> 00:05:01.399
 So would you look at verses 1-13 in chapter 7?

00:05:01.459 --> 00:05:02.379
 I'm going to read through them.

00:05:03.180 --> 00:05:07.019
 It's Q&A with these religious leaders.

00:05:07.019 --> 00:05:10.399
 Now when the Pharisees gathered to Him,

00:05:10.579 --> 00:05:10.819
 Jesus,

00:05:11.180 --> 00:05:12.399
 with some of the scribes

00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:13.539
 who had come from Jerusalem,

00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:15.299
 they saw that some of His disciples

00:05:15.299 --> 00:05:17.740
 ate with hands that were defiled,

00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:19.219
 that is, unwashed.

00:05:20.219 --> 00:05:21.680
 For the Pharisees and all the Jews

00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:24.419
 do not eat unless they wash their hands properly,

00:05:24.859 --> 00:05:26.439
 holding to the tradition of the elders.

00:05:26.599 --> 00:05:28.000
 And when they come from the marketplace,

00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:29.680
 they do not eat unless they wash.

00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:31.579
 And there are many other traditions

00:05:31.579 --> 00:05:32.379
 that they observe,

00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:34.299
 such as the washing of cups and pots

00:05:34.299 --> 00:05:36.019
 and copper vessels and dining couches.

00:05:36.019 --> 00:05:39.219
 And the Pharisees and the scribes asked Jesus,

00:05:39.500 --> 00:05:41.639
 Why do your disciples not walk

00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:43.939
 according to the tradition of the elders,

00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:45.719
 but eat with defiled hands?

00:05:46.359 --> 00:05:47.639
 And Jesus said to them,

00:05:48.099 --> 00:05:52.359
 Well, did Isaiah prophesy of you, hypocrites?

00:05:53.740 --> 00:05:54.479
 As it is written,

00:05:54.719 --> 00:05:56.339
 This people honors Me with their lips,

00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:57.979
 but their heart is far from Me.

00:05:58.659 --> 00:05:59.919
 In vain do they worship Me,

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.079
 teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.

00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:04.139
 You have the commandment of God,

00:06:04.300 --> 00:06:06.079
 and you leave the commandment of God,

00:06:06.159 --> 00:06:07.519
 and hold to the tradition of men.

00:06:08.039 --> 00:06:09.159
 And then He said to them,

00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.079
 You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God

00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:13.560
 in order to establish your tradition.

00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:15.180
 For Moses said,

00:06:15.259 --> 00:06:16.360
 Honor your father and your mother,

00:06:16.699 --> 00:06:18.360
 and whoever reviles father or mother

00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:19.099
 must surely die.

00:06:19.339 --> 00:06:20.180
 But you say,

00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:22.099
 If a man tells his father or his mother,

00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:24.219
 Whatever you would have gained from Me

00:06:24.219 --> 00:06:25.299
 is Corban,

00:06:25.500 --> 00:06:26.599
 that is given to God,

00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:28.240
 then you no longer permit Him

00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.220
 to do anything for his father or mother.

00:06:30.420 --> 00:06:32.060
 Thus, making the void,

00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:33.439
 the Word of God,

00:06:33.540 --> 00:06:35.280
 by your tradition that you've handed down.

00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:37.480
 And many such things you do.

00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:41.040
 In verses 1-13,

00:06:41.180 --> 00:06:45.500
 Jesus has this very sharp interaction

00:06:45.500 --> 00:06:48.180
 with the Jewish religious leaders in Israel.

00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:50.560
 Some Pharisees and scribes

00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:52.420
 have observed Jesus' disciples

00:06:52.420 --> 00:06:54.540
 doing something in that culture

00:06:54.540 --> 00:06:56.240
 would have been very peculiar.

00:06:58.060 --> 00:06:59.280
 They were eating,

00:06:59.400 --> 00:07:00.920
 some of His disciples were eating food

00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:02.100
 without washing their hands.

00:07:03.200 --> 00:07:05.160
 So, the Pharisees and the scribes

00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:06.160
 asked Jesus,

00:07:07.180 --> 00:07:08.360
 What's going on here?

00:07:08.460 --> 00:07:09.820
 And then Jesus answers them

00:07:09.820 --> 00:07:12.020
 with a very sharp rebuke.

00:07:14.180 --> 00:07:15.800
 There's a question and an answer.

00:07:16.300 --> 00:07:17.800
 The question is in verse 5,

00:07:18.220 --> 00:07:20.640
 and the answer is in verses 6-13.

00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:23.439
 But preceding the question,

00:07:24.540 --> 00:07:27.720
 is some peculiar activity.

00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:31.580
 In verse 2,

00:07:32.780 --> 00:07:34.900
 these Pharisees and scribes,

00:07:34.980 --> 00:07:36.220
 they observed something

00:07:36.220 --> 00:07:37.660
 that's peculiar.

00:07:37.900 --> 00:07:38.600
 What is it?

00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:41.180
 Some of Jesus' Pharisees

00:07:41.180 --> 00:07:43.000
 were eating without washing their hands.

00:07:43.060 --> 00:07:43.759
 And you might be thinking,

00:07:43.840 --> 00:07:44.420
 what's the big deal?

00:07:45.420 --> 00:07:46.879
 I mean, I had a meal this week

00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:48.460
 and I didn't wash my hands before I ate.

00:07:51.100 --> 00:07:52.180
 What's the big deal with that?

00:07:52.180 --> 00:07:55.900
 Well, the big deal is represented

00:07:55.900 --> 00:07:58.240
 in a little word.

00:07:58.699 --> 00:07:59.680
 It's in verse 2.

00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:01.780
 They saw that some of His disciples

00:08:01.780 --> 00:08:05.040
 ate with hands that were defiled.

00:08:06.400 --> 00:08:08.319
 The Pharisees and the scribes

00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.560
 weren't physical hygiene police.

00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:15.620
 They were morality police.

00:08:17.740 --> 00:08:19.060
 And they had observed

00:08:19.060 --> 00:08:22.079
 a big moral no-no

00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:24.459
 among some of Jesus' disciples.

00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:27.660
 They were eating without washed hands.

00:08:27.860 --> 00:08:28.920
 And they had made themselves,

00:08:29.139 --> 00:08:29.800
 in their opinion,

00:08:30.019 --> 00:08:31.240
 spiritually unclean.

00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:32.259
 Now you may be asking,

00:08:32.379 --> 00:08:33.279
 well, how does that work?

00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:36.159
 Well, Mark tells us how that works.

00:08:36.659 --> 00:08:37.500
 In verses 3 and 4,

00:08:37.539 --> 00:08:38.480
 you see how it's in parentheses?

00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.620
 He's anticipating Gentiles like us

00:08:41.620 --> 00:08:42.700
 need a little bit more information.

00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:45.800
 And so what Mark does

00:08:45.800 --> 00:08:46.899
 in verses 3 and 4

00:08:46.899 --> 00:08:48.920
 is he kind of spells out

00:08:48.920 --> 00:08:51.440
 the extent of all this washing.

00:08:54.920 --> 00:08:55.680
 We read

00:08:55.680 --> 00:08:58.779
 that the Pharisees and all the Jews,

00:08:58.860 --> 00:09:00.980
 so this is a cultural norm.

00:09:00.980 --> 00:09:03.960
 They do not eat

00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:05.360
 unless they wash their hands.

00:09:05.680 --> 00:09:06.259
 Every meal,

00:09:07.560 --> 00:09:08.620
 they've got to wash their hands

00:09:08.620 --> 00:09:09.320
 a certain way.

00:09:10.460 --> 00:09:11.259
 Every meal,

00:09:11.899 --> 00:09:12.960
 it has to be done

00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:13.659
 a certain way.

00:09:14.539 --> 00:09:15.860
 And so there's this frequency

00:09:15.860 --> 00:09:16.259
 to this.

00:09:16.340 --> 00:09:16.840
 It's happening

00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:18.180
 all the time.

00:09:18.560 --> 00:09:19.800
 And it's not just frequency

00:09:19.800 --> 00:09:20.800
 dealing with

00:09:20.800 --> 00:09:21.940
 kind of like what you eat.

00:09:22.019 --> 00:09:23.200
 It's where you come from.

00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:23.940
 Did you see that?

00:09:23.940 --> 00:09:24.700
 So,

00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:28.020
 in verse 4,

00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:29.320
 when they come from the marketplace,

00:09:29.500 --> 00:09:29.940
 the agora,

00:09:30.220 --> 00:09:30.800
 from meyer,

00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:33.000
 from woodman's,

00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:36.780
 you've got to wash

00:09:36.780 --> 00:09:37.560
 a certain way

00:09:37.560 --> 00:09:39.220
 before you would even eat again

00:09:39.220 --> 00:09:40.740
 because you were there.

00:09:42.020 --> 00:09:43.760
 So it's just not every meal.

00:09:44.060 --> 00:09:45.000
 You've got to be paying attention

00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:46.220
 to where you come from.

00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:47.320
 And it's not just

00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:48.800
 having your meals

00:09:48.800 --> 00:09:49.519
 and where you come from.

00:09:49.700 --> 00:09:52.600
 Look at the scope of this

00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.720
 at the end of verse 4.

00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:57.420
 Such as the washing,

00:09:57.660 --> 00:09:58.800
 so there were many other traditions

00:09:58.800 --> 00:10:00.420
 such as the washing of cups,

00:10:00.580 --> 00:10:00.879
 pots,

00:10:01.060 --> 00:10:01.639
 copper vessels,

00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:02.820
 and dining couches.

00:10:03.040 --> 00:10:04.680
 Not only were they

00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:05.960
 washing their hands

00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:07.700
 and coming from meyer

00:10:07.700 --> 00:10:08.580
 and having to wash,

00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:10.240
 but they were also

00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:12.300
 having to be washing

00:10:12.300 --> 00:10:14.019
 what they made their food in,

00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:15.840
 what they presented their food in,

00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:17.340
 and what they sat on

00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:18.940
 when they ate their food.

00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:22.540
 So what we're seeing here

00:10:22.540 --> 00:10:24.500
 is this like extent

00:10:24.500 --> 00:10:26.399
 of this washing.

00:10:30.820 --> 00:10:32.840
 The idea behind it was this.

00:10:35.060 --> 00:10:36.480
 That defilement

00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:39.540
 was transmitted,

00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:41.060
 transferred by touch.

00:10:43.220 --> 00:10:44.000
 And so to stop

00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:45.820
 the transmission of defilement,

00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.660
 you've got to do a lot of washing.

00:10:52.060 --> 00:10:53.560
 Has anybody heard of the phrase

00:10:53.560 --> 00:10:54.160
 OCD?

00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:58.040
 Obsessive-compulsive disorder?

00:10:58.180 --> 00:11:00.800
 This is O-C-W-D.

00:11:01.920 --> 00:11:03.019
 Obsessive-compulsive

00:11:03.019 --> 00:11:06.040
 washing disorder.

00:11:06.300 --> 00:11:07.580
 They had created

00:11:07.580 --> 00:11:09.639
 these layers upon layers

00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:11.139
 of washing

00:11:11.139 --> 00:11:12.659
 in order to keep

00:11:12.659 --> 00:11:12.679
 in order to keep

00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:14.100
 the defilement

00:11:14.100 --> 00:11:14.939
 from the outside

00:11:14.939 --> 00:11:15.679
 from getting

00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:17.319
 into the inside.

00:11:19.819 --> 00:11:20.679
 And if you notice

00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:21.299
 in verse 3,

00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:22.139
 the Pharisees

00:11:22.139 --> 00:11:22.740
 and all the Jews

00:11:22.740 --> 00:11:24.360
 practiced these things.

00:11:24.539 --> 00:11:26.039
 It was a cultural norm.

00:11:26.139 --> 00:11:27.120
 You would have grown up in it.

00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:28.699
 You know,

00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:29.259
 you might be asking,

00:11:29.419 --> 00:11:30.679
 hey, where did all this come from?

00:11:31.419 --> 00:11:32.439
 What authority

00:11:32.439 --> 00:11:34.919
 is driving this?

00:11:35.059 --> 00:11:35.679
 And you see it

00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:37.120
 referenced twice.

00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:38.799
 It's the tradition

00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:39.460
 of the elders

00:11:39.460 --> 00:11:40.220
 in verse 3

00:11:40.220 --> 00:11:41.080
 and in the question

00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:41.860
 in verse 5.

00:11:42.420 --> 00:11:43.100
 Why do disciples

00:11:43.100 --> 00:11:44.100
 not walk according

00:11:44.100 --> 00:11:44.720
 to the tradition

00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:45.240
 of the elders?

00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:48.100
 The tradition

00:11:48.100 --> 00:11:48.700
 of the elders

00:11:48.700 --> 00:11:49.980
 was this,

00:11:50.940 --> 00:11:52.280
 these applications

00:11:52.280 --> 00:11:53.700
 that rabbis

00:11:53.700 --> 00:11:54.639
 had come up with

00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:55.580
 over the centuries.

00:11:56.280 --> 00:11:56.720
 They would take

00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:57.740
 God's commands

00:11:57.740 --> 00:11:57.879
 commands,

00:11:58.299 --> 00:11:59.259
 and then they would

00:11:59.259 --> 00:12:00.480
 think through

00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:01.860
 how to apply it

00:12:01.860 --> 00:12:03.759
 to every possible

00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:04.580
 situation

00:12:04.580 --> 00:12:05.639
 that they could imagine.

00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:08.159
 Every possible situation.

00:12:09.259 --> 00:12:09.560
 And so,

00:12:09.659 --> 00:12:10.299
 over time,

00:12:10.379 --> 00:12:11.500
 it became an oral tradition

00:12:11.500 --> 00:12:12.399
 and it started

00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:13.060
 to become more

00:12:13.060 --> 00:12:13.860
 and more authoritative.

00:12:14.100 --> 00:12:14.759
 And then it took

00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:15.720
 a written form

00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:16.639
 called the Mishnah.

00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:17.840
 And so,

00:12:17.899 --> 00:12:18.539
 all of a sudden,

00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:19.720
 what you have over time

00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:21.379
 is this new

00:12:21.379 --> 00:12:22.740
 competing authority

00:12:22.740 --> 00:12:24.700
 with God's commands

00:12:24.700 --> 00:12:25.900
 that have been

00:12:25.900 --> 00:12:26.940
 made up by man

00:12:26.940 --> 00:12:28.660
 in order to apply

00:12:28.660 --> 00:12:30.280
 God's law

00:12:30.280 --> 00:12:31.440
 to people's lives.

00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:32.460
 But,

00:12:33.460 --> 00:12:34.480
 it wasn't

00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:36.020
 the Word of God.

00:12:37.460 --> 00:12:38.520
 It wasn't

00:12:38.520 --> 00:12:39.120
 the Torah.

00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:42.720
 And over centuries,

00:12:43.020 --> 00:12:43.600
 what happens

00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:44.300
 is these

00:12:44.300 --> 00:12:45.700
 traditions

00:12:45.700 --> 00:12:47.220
 become treated

00:12:47.220 --> 00:12:48.720
 as if

00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:50.020
 they were

00:12:50.020 --> 00:12:50.720
 God's law.

00:12:51.700 --> 00:12:52.460
 And

00:12:54.700 --> 00:12:55.240
 the whole reason

00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:55.820
 why is

00:12:55.820 --> 00:12:57.080
 they didn't want

00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:57.740
 to be defiled.

00:12:58.700 --> 00:12:59.580
 Because they thought

00:12:59.580 --> 00:13:00.280
 defilement

00:13:00.280 --> 00:13:01.000
 came from the

00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:02.020
 outside in.

00:13:02.300 --> 00:13:03.280
 They had built

00:13:03.280 --> 00:13:04.780
 all these rules

00:13:04.780 --> 00:13:06.940
 to keep it out.

00:13:08.940 --> 00:13:09.800
 It's a man-made

00:13:09.800 --> 00:13:10.200
 system

00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:10.879
 being treated

00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:11.259
 as

00:13:11.259 --> 00:13:14.060
 coming from God

00:13:14.060 --> 00:13:14.759
 when it wasn't.

00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:16.940
 So,

00:13:16.980 --> 00:13:17.220
 are you starting

00:13:17.220 --> 00:13:17.640
 to understand

00:13:17.640 --> 00:13:18.100
 what's behind

00:13:18.100 --> 00:13:18.540
 the question

00:13:18.540 --> 00:13:19.040
 in verse 5?

00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:22.520
 Jesus,

00:13:22.700 --> 00:13:23.100
 why do your

00:13:23.100 --> 00:13:24.100
 disciples not walk

00:13:24.100 --> 00:13:24.720
 according to the

00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:25.600
 tradition of the

00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:26.040
 elders

00:13:26.040 --> 00:13:27.659
 like the rest

00:13:27.659 --> 00:13:28.220
 of us?

00:13:30.300 --> 00:13:31.000
 Why are you

00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:31.980
 letting your

00:13:31.980 --> 00:13:32.639
 disciples

00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:34.000
 become unclean?

00:13:34.740 --> 00:13:35.519
 They're dirty

00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:36.360
 in God's sight.

00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:36.960
 Why would you

00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:37.680
 do that?

00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:39.420
 So,

00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:39.899
 this is the

00:13:39.899 --> 00:13:40.379
 question.

00:13:41.139 --> 00:13:41.379
 Jesus,

00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:42.019
 why aren't you

00:13:42.019 --> 00:13:42.700
 enforcing the

00:13:42.700 --> 00:13:43.139
 rules?

00:13:46.139 --> 00:13:46.600
 And in verses

00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:47.920
 6-13,

00:13:48.220 --> 00:13:49.220
 Jesus answers

00:13:49.220 --> 00:13:50.139
 their question

00:13:50.139 --> 00:13:51.480
 with a

00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:52.700
 very sharp

00:13:52.700 --> 00:13:53.460
 rebuke.

00:13:53.460 --> 00:13:54.060
 Have you

00:13:54.060 --> 00:13:54.360
 ever seen

00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:54.680
 a hockey

00:13:54.680 --> 00:13:55.080
 game?

00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:56.340
 When a

00:13:56.340 --> 00:13:56.920
 fight breaks

00:13:56.920 --> 00:13:57.180
 out,

00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:58.300
 gloves are

00:13:58.300 --> 00:13:58.860
 off.

00:14:01.019 --> 00:14:01.620
 Look at

00:14:01.620 --> 00:14:02.200
 verse 6.

00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:03.280
 And Jesus

00:14:03.280 --> 00:14:03.920
 said to them,

00:14:05.420 --> 00:14:05.879
 well did

00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:07.019
 Isaiah prophesy

00:14:07.019 --> 00:14:07.480
 of you

00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:08.100
 hypocrites.

00:14:10.259 --> 00:14:11.120
 You notice,

00:14:12.400 --> 00:14:13.420
 Jesus is not

00:14:13.420 --> 00:14:14.660
 appealing to

00:14:14.660 --> 00:14:15.200
 the tradition

00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:15.580
 of the

00:14:15.580 --> 00:14:15.879
 elders.

00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:18.780
 Jesus is

00:14:18.780 --> 00:14:19.259
 quoting

00:14:19.259 --> 00:14:20.879
 Isaiah 29-13.

00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:21.480
 Verse 6-13.

00:14:23.460 --> 00:14:24.820
 This

00:14:24.820 --> 00:14:25.280
 people,

00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:25.940
 he's speaking

00:14:25.940 --> 00:14:26.420
 to the

00:14:26.420 --> 00:14:27.240
 Pharisees

00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:28.120
 and scribes,

00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:28.980
 this people

00:14:28.980 --> 00:14:29.680
 honors me

00:14:29.680 --> 00:14:30.100
 with their

00:14:30.100 --> 00:14:30.560
 lips,

00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:31.220
 but their

00:14:31.220 --> 00:14:31.920
 heart is

00:14:31.920 --> 00:14:32.400
 far from

00:14:32.400 --> 00:14:32.580
 me.

00:14:32.900 --> 00:14:33.379
 Hypocrisy.

00:14:33.900 --> 00:14:34.360
 You're saying

00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:35.060
 one thing,

00:14:35.300 --> 00:14:35.740
 tradition of

00:14:35.740 --> 00:14:36.100
 the elders,

00:14:36.580 --> 00:14:36.879
 but you're

00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:37.300
 actually,

00:14:37.400 --> 00:14:37.879
 your heart is

00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:38.220
 seeking to

00:14:38.220 --> 00:14:38.519
 accomplish

00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:39.180
 something else.

00:14:39.280 --> 00:14:39.519
 We'll see

00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:39.900
 that in a

00:14:39.900 --> 00:14:40.100
 sec.

00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:42.440
 He goes

00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:42.940
 on to say,

00:14:43.300 --> 00:14:44.259
 in vain do

00:14:44.259 --> 00:14:44.700
 they worship

00:14:44.700 --> 00:14:44.960
 me.

00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:47.180
 All of these

00:14:47.180 --> 00:14:48.080
 washings,

00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:50.139
 it's just

00:14:50.139 --> 00:14:50.920
 vanity.

00:14:51.520 --> 00:14:51.900
 It's

00:14:51.900 --> 00:14:52.500
 pointless.

00:14:53.040 --> 00:14:53.520
 It's not

00:14:53.520 --> 00:14:54.180
 accomplishing

00:14:54.180 --> 00:14:54.540
 what you

00:14:54.540 --> 00:14:55.000
 think it's

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:55.639
 accomplishing.

00:14:57.840 --> 00:14:58.720
 Teaching as

00:14:58.720 --> 00:14:59.300
 doctrines the

00:14:59.300 --> 00:14:59.900
 commandments of

00:14:59.900 --> 00:15:00.139
 men,

00:15:00.420 --> 00:15:00.740
 they have

00:15:00.740 --> 00:15:02.100
 elevated these

00:15:02.100 --> 00:15:03.080
 traditions of

00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:03.560
 the elders,

00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:05.220
 these applications

00:15:05.220 --> 00:15:06.200
 that are not

00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:06.800
 God's Word,

00:15:06.940 --> 00:15:07.620
 on the same

00:15:07.620 --> 00:15:08.340
 par as

00:15:08.340 --> 00:15:09.020
 God's Word.

00:15:11.139 --> 00:15:11.940
 The gloves

00:15:11.940 --> 00:15:12.340
 are off.

00:15:12.340 --> 00:15:15.899
 And so

00:15:15.899 --> 00:15:16.519
 using God's

00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:16.860
 Word,

00:15:17.259 --> 00:15:18.100
 Jesus answers

00:15:18.100 --> 00:15:18.960
 the Pharisees

00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:20.560
 with quite a

00:15:20.560 --> 00:15:21.000
 rebuke.

00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:22.200
 In verse 8,

00:15:22.660 --> 00:15:23.360
 he goes on to

00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:23.580
 say,

00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:24.340
 you leave the

00:15:24.340 --> 00:15:24.840
 commandment of

00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:25.680
 God and hold

00:15:25.680 --> 00:15:26.040
 to the

00:15:26.040 --> 00:15:26.700
 tradition of

00:15:26.700 --> 00:15:27.120
 men.

00:15:28.060 --> 00:15:28.700
 This is what's

00:15:28.700 --> 00:15:29.280
 really going

00:15:29.280 --> 00:15:29.620
 on.

00:15:30.040 --> 00:15:30.960
 So verse 5

00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:32.379
 carries this

00:15:32.379 --> 00:15:33.100
 kind of like

00:15:33.100 --> 00:15:34.180
 veiled

00:15:34.180 --> 00:15:35.220
 accusation

00:15:35.220 --> 00:15:36.259
 that Jesus

00:15:36.259 --> 00:15:36.620
 and his

00:15:36.620 --> 00:15:37.220
 disciples are

00:15:37.220 --> 00:15:38.220
 not obeying

00:15:38.220 --> 00:15:38.900
 God's will

00:15:38.900 --> 00:15:39.680
 by not observing

00:15:39.680 --> 00:15:40.180
 the tradition

00:15:40.180 --> 00:15:40.740
 of the elders.

00:15:41.280 --> 00:15:41.540
 And what

00:15:41.540 --> 00:15:42.160
 Jesus does

00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:42.459
 is,

00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:43.179
 he's like,

00:15:43.259 --> 00:15:43.860
 hold on a

00:15:43.860 --> 00:15:44.079
 second.

00:15:46.419 --> 00:15:47.299
 You are the

00:15:47.299 --> 00:15:48.299
 ones who are

00:15:48.299 --> 00:15:49.019
 not living

00:15:49.019 --> 00:15:49.600
 according to

00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:50.240
 God's Word.

00:15:51.500 --> 00:15:52.019
 You've

00:15:52.019 --> 00:15:53.339
 actually left

00:15:53.339 --> 00:15:54.219
 God's commandments

00:15:54.219 --> 00:15:55.959
 to lay hold

00:15:55.959 --> 00:15:56.259
 of these

00:15:56.259 --> 00:15:56.799
 traditions.

00:15:58.799 --> 00:15:59.219
 Behold your

00:15:59.219 --> 00:15:59.500
 king.

00:16:01.659 --> 00:16:02.319
 Calling him

00:16:02.319 --> 00:16:02.519
 out.

00:16:06.939 --> 00:16:07.579
 And in

00:16:07.579 --> 00:16:08.059
 verse 9,

00:16:08.139 --> 00:16:08.399
 you see

00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:09.079
 something that

00:16:09.079 --> 00:16:09.620
 may make you

00:16:09.620 --> 00:16:09.839
 a little

00:16:09.839 --> 00:16:10.259
 uncomfortable

00:16:10.259 --> 00:16:10.919
 from Jesus.

00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:12.759
 It's

00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:13.019
 Jesus'

00:16:13.199 --> 00:16:13.620
 sarcasm.

00:16:15.019 --> 00:16:15.539
 The

00:16:15.539 --> 00:16:16.459
 sarcasm of

00:16:16.459 --> 00:16:16.819
 the Son

00:16:16.819 --> 00:16:17.259
 of God.

00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:18.779
 Sarcasm of

00:16:18.779 --> 00:16:19.179
 the Son

00:16:19.179 --> 00:16:19.639
 of Man.

00:16:21.079 --> 00:16:21.379
 And he

00:16:21.379 --> 00:16:21.659
 said to

00:16:21.659 --> 00:16:21.799
 them,

00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:22.419
 you have a

00:16:22.419 --> 00:16:23.000
 fine way of

00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:23.579
 rejecting the

00:16:23.579 --> 00:16:24.079
 commandment of

00:16:24.079 --> 00:16:24.639
 God in order

00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:25.419
 to establish

00:16:25.419 --> 00:16:26.439
 your tradition.

00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:27.339
 That is

00:16:27.339 --> 00:16:28.439
 not a

00:16:28.439 --> 00:16:28.740
 compliment.

00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:31.179
 He's using

00:16:31.179 --> 00:16:34.559
 sarcasm to

00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:35.699
 expose

00:16:35.700 --> 00:16:38.520
 their hypocrisy.

00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:42.580
 And in

00:16:42.580 --> 00:16:43.140
 verses 10

00:16:43.140 --> 00:16:43.720
 and 13,

00:16:43.860 --> 00:16:44.420
 Jesus goes

00:16:44.420 --> 00:16:45.240
 on to give

00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:45.540
 a very

00:16:45.540 --> 00:16:46.020
 specific

00:16:46.020 --> 00:16:47.100
 example of

00:16:47.100 --> 00:16:47.400
 how the

00:16:47.400 --> 00:16:48.040
 Pharisees and

00:16:48.040 --> 00:16:49.540
 scribes had

00:16:49.540 --> 00:16:50.340
 rejected the

00:16:50.340 --> 00:16:50.840
 commandment of

00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:51.259
 God to

00:16:51.259 --> 00:16:52.140
 establish their

00:16:52.140 --> 00:16:52.600
 tradition.

00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:54.940
 It was a

00:16:54.940 --> 00:16:55.820
 tradition introduced

00:16:55.820 --> 00:16:56.540
 by the elders

00:16:56.540 --> 00:16:57.320
 and the

00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:58.840
 Pharisees and

00:16:58.840 --> 00:16:59.840
 scribes called

00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:00.320
 Corban.

00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:02.180
 Corban means

00:17:02.180 --> 00:17:04.140
 dedicated to

00:17:04.140 --> 00:17:04.440
 God.

00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:04.480
 God.

00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:06.680
 So here's

00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:07.360
 what was

00:17:07.360 --> 00:17:07.779
 happening in

00:17:07.779 --> 00:17:08.140
 a nutshell.

00:17:11.140 --> 00:17:11.680
 God had

00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:12.100
 commanded

00:17:12.100 --> 00:17:13.779
 his people to

00:17:13.779 --> 00:17:14.539
 honor your

00:17:14.539 --> 00:17:14.900
 father and

00:17:14.900 --> 00:17:15.180
 your mother.

00:17:16.539 --> 00:17:17.340
 And so I

00:17:17.340 --> 00:17:18.380
 have parents

00:17:18.380 --> 00:17:18.680
 in their

00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:19.259
 70s.

00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:20.100
 And so that

00:17:20.100 --> 00:17:20.600
 command to

00:17:20.600 --> 00:17:21.340
 me at that

00:17:21.340 --> 00:17:21.779
 time would

00:17:21.779 --> 00:17:22.039
 have showed

00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:22.400
 up like,

00:17:22.740 --> 00:17:23.000
 okay, we're

00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:23.320
 going to use

00:17:23.320 --> 00:17:23.840
 our resources

00:17:23.840 --> 00:17:24.380
 to care for

00:17:24.380 --> 00:17:24.900
 my parents.

00:17:26.580 --> 00:17:26.920
 And what

00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:27.720
 the Pharisees

00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:28.340
 and scribes

00:17:28.340 --> 00:17:29.940
 had done is

00:17:29.940 --> 00:17:30.600
 they introduced

00:17:30.600 --> 00:17:31.600
 this Corban

00:17:31.600 --> 00:17:32.860
 thinking to be

00:17:32.860 --> 00:17:33.360
 able to say

00:17:33.360 --> 00:17:33.799
 things, you

00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:34.100
 know what,

00:17:34.180 --> 00:17:34.360
 Mike?

00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:35.059
 You don't

00:17:35.059 --> 00:17:36.640
 need to give

00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:37.500
 that money to

00:17:37.500 --> 00:17:38.120
 your parents

00:17:38.120 --> 00:17:39.019
 because if you

00:17:39.019 --> 00:17:39.980
 call it Corban,

00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:41.320
 then you dedicate

00:17:41.320 --> 00:17:42.160
 it to God and

00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:42.820
 you're not no

00:17:42.820 --> 00:17:43.519
 longer responsible

00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:44.019
 to care for

00:17:44.019 --> 00:17:44.500
 your parents.

00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:45.820
 And that

00:17:45.820 --> 00:17:46.299
 money, of

00:17:46.299 --> 00:17:46.759
 course, do you

00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:47.080
 know where it

00:17:47.080 --> 00:17:47.420
 goes?

00:17:48.900 --> 00:17:49.620
 Temple treasury.

00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:53.960
 So what Jesus

00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:54.720
 is pointing out

00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:55.160
 is this.

00:17:56.360 --> 00:17:57.000
 These Pharisees

00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:57.940
 and scribes

00:17:57.940 --> 00:17:59.279
 had rejected

00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:00.440
 honor your

00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:00.860
 father and

00:18:00.860 --> 00:18:01.980
 your mother in

00:18:01.980 --> 00:18:02.680
 order to

00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:05.059
 hold to the

00:18:05.059 --> 00:18:05.660
 tradition of

00:18:05.660 --> 00:18:06.319
 the elders,

00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:07.019
 Corban,

00:18:07.019 --> 00:18:08.940
 and their

00:18:08.940 --> 00:18:09.500
 hearts were

00:18:09.500 --> 00:18:10.039
 far from

00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:10.440
 God.

00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:14.660
 It's hypocrisy.

00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:17.680
 It's self-serving.

00:18:18.819 --> 00:18:19.319
 And what Jesus

00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:20.099
 says in verse

00:18:20.099 --> 00:18:21.599
 13, he says,

00:18:21.740 --> 00:18:22.319
 and many such

00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:22.880
 things you do.

00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:23.500
 This is just

00:18:23.500 --> 00:18:24.360
 one other,

00:18:24.740 --> 00:18:25.519
 there's more.

00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:31.740
 So here's this

00:18:31.740 --> 00:18:32.660
 Q&A.

00:18:34.900 --> 00:18:35.680
 Jesus is

00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:36.180
 answering,

00:18:36.460 --> 00:18:37.180
 and what we're

00:18:37.180 --> 00:18:38.680
 seeing are two

00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:39.099
 things.

00:18:39.379 --> 00:18:40.200
 First is this.

00:18:41.420 --> 00:18:42.019
 The thinking

00:18:42.019 --> 00:18:42.980
 that defilement

00:18:42.980 --> 00:18:44.139
 comes from the

00:18:44.139 --> 00:18:45.259
 outside in,

00:18:46.299 --> 00:18:46.879
 and that you

00:18:46.879 --> 00:18:47.359
 need to be

00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:48.079
 obsessively,

00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:48.879
 compulsively

00:18:48.879 --> 00:18:50.279
 washing in

00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:51.059
 order to

00:18:51.059 --> 00:18:52.160
 keep it

00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:52.639
 outside,

00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:53.940
 it's a

00:18:53.940 --> 00:18:54.759
 terrible mistake.

00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:56.720
 And here's

00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:57.000
 what we're

00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:57.160
 going to

00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:57.519
 find out

00:18:57.519 --> 00:18:57.980
 in a second.

00:18:58.759 --> 00:18:59.440
 Because it

00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:00.819
 doesn't make

00:19:00.819 --> 00:19:01.740
 you clean.

00:19:03.980 --> 00:19:04.680
 And the

00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:06.079
 second terrible

00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:06.460
 thing we're

00:19:06.460 --> 00:19:07.139
 seeing here

00:19:07.139 --> 00:19:09.079
 is the

00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:09.960
 tendency among

00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:10.839
 human beings

00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:11.920
 to elevate

00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:13.119
 their thoughts,

00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:14.059
 their traditions,

00:19:14.460 --> 00:19:15.240
 their intentions

00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:16.559
 on the same

00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:17.900
 par as

00:19:17.900 --> 00:19:18.759
 God's

00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:19.480
 word.

00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:23.940
 You might be

00:19:23.940 --> 00:19:24.139
 thinking,

00:19:24.299 --> 00:19:24.420
 well,

00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:24.779
 whoo,

00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:26.480
 we don't

00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:26.879
 practice

00:19:26.879 --> 00:19:27.240
 Corban

00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:27.779
 around here.

00:19:29.259 --> 00:19:30.019
 We don't

00:19:30.019 --> 00:19:30.480
 do the

00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:31.680
 OCWD

00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:32.160
 thing around

00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:32.440
 here.

00:19:33.379 --> 00:19:33.879
 Well,

00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:34.379
 we don't.

00:19:35.420 --> 00:19:35.819
 But we

00:19:35.819 --> 00:19:36.359
 have this

00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:37.400
 knack for

00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:37.740
 making

00:19:37.740 --> 00:19:38.599
 applications

00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:40.160
 of God's

00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:41.279
 good word

00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:42.220
 into

00:19:42.220 --> 00:19:43.339
 pharisaical

00:19:43.339 --> 00:19:44.299
 rules.

00:19:45.500 --> 00:19:45.819
 And so,

00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:47.460
 every parent

00:19:47.460 --> 00:19:48.139
 in the

00:19:48.139 --> 00:19:49.099
 room is

00:19:49.099 --> 00:19:49.559
 called to

00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:50.079
 raise their

00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:50.660
 children in

00:19:50.660 --> 00:19:51.059
 the fear

00:19:51.059 --> 00:19:51.680
 and admonition

00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:52.000
 of the

00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:52.220
 Lord.

00:19:52.220 --> 00:19:52.279
 Lord.

00:19:53.059 --> 00:19:53.519
 And in

00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:53.900
 that

00:19:53.900 --> 00:19:54.460
 command,

00:19:54.779 --> 00:19:55.100
 parents,

00:19:55.180 --> 00:19:55.299
 you're

00:19:55.299 --> 00:19:55.460
 going to

00:19:55.460 --> 00:19:55.720
 need to

00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:56.360
 decide how

00:19:56.360 --> 00:19:56.759
 your kids

00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:56.960
 are going

00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:57.120
 to be

00:19:57.120 --> 00:19:57.559
 educated.

00:19:58.360 --> 00:19:58.579
 Are we

00:19:58.579 --> 00:19:58.720
 going to

00:19:58.720 --> 00:19:58.920
 send them

00:19:58.920 --> 00:19:59.240
 to public

00:19:59.240 --> 00:19:59.620
 school?

00:19:59.620 --> 00:20:00.180
 Are we

00:20:00.180 --> 00:20:00.339
 going to

00:20:00.339 --> 00:20:00.559
 send them

00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:00.920
 to Christian

00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:01.299
 school?

00:20:01.500 --> 00:20:01.880
 Are we

00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:02.180
 going to

00:20:02.180 --> 00:20:02.740
 homeschool?

00:20:03.860 --> 00:20:04.779
 There are

00:20:04.779 --> 00:20:05.420
 groups of

00:20:05.420 --> 00:20:06.559
 Christians who

00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:07.420
 will say

00:20:07.420 --> 00:20:07.960
 something like

00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:08.360
 this.

00:20:09.380 --> 00:20:09.579
 All

00:20:09.579 --> 00:20:10.180
 Christians

00:20:10.180 --> 00:20:11.259
 must

00:20:11.259 --> 00:20:12.180
 homeschool

00:20:12.180 --> 00:20:12.420
 their

00:20:12.420 --> 00:20:12.759
 children.

00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:14.960
 That is

00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:15.720
 pharisaical.

00:20:16.860 --> 00:20:17.720
 That is

00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:18.519
 moving beyond

00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:19.100
 the scriptures.

00:20:19.099 --> 00:20:21.719
 Is it a

00:20:21.719 --> 00:20:22.319
 good option?

00:20:23.059 --> 00:20:23.379
 Sure.

00:20:25.439 --> 00:20:26.339
 Is it

00:20:26.339 --> 00:20:26.719
 God's

00:20:26.719 --> 00:20:27.319
 defined

00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:27.659
 will?

00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:30.099
 No.

00:20:32.219 --> 00:20:33.179
 So we

00:20:33.179 --> 00:20:33.659
 can't

00:20:33.659 --> 00:20:35.599
 raise it

00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:36.419
 to the

00:20:36.419 --> 00:20:36.659
 same

00:20:36.659 --> 00:20:37.699
 par as

00:20:37.699 --> 00:20:38.059
 scriptures.

00:20:38.199 --> 00:20:38.359
 Do you

00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:38.519
 see?

00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:41.019
 Here is

00:20:41.019 --> 00:20:41.359
 another way

00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:41.619
 we do

00:20:41.619 --> 00:20:41.779
 it.

00:20:43.299 --> 00:20:43.779
 No

00:20:43.779 --> 00:20:44.119
 Christian

00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:44.399
 should

00:20:44.399 --> 00:20:44.619
 drink

00:20:44.619 --> 00:20:45.059
 alcohol.

00:20:47.019 --> 00:20:47.759
 When the

00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:48.500
 Bible itself

00:20:48.500 --> 00:20:49.220
 doesn't forbid

00:20:49.220 --> 00:20:50.059
 alcohol, it

00:20:50.059 --> 00:20:50.720
 forbids getting

00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:51.140
 drunk.

00:20:53.460 --> 00:20:54.559
 We cannot

00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:56.339
 insist upon

00:20:56.339 --> 00:20:57.240
 things that

00:20:57.240 --> 00:20:57.680
 the Bible

00:20:57.680 --> 00:20:58.440
 itself does

00:20:58.440 --> 00:20:58.920
 not insist

00:20:58.920 --> 00:20:59.119
 on.

00:20:59.779 --> 00:21:00.380
 We don't

00:21:00.380 --> 00:21:01.019
 go beyond

00:21:01.019 --> 00:21:01.400
 what the

00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:01.640
 scriptures

00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:02.000
 say.

00:21:03.980 --> 00:21:04.539
 No

00:21:04.539 --> 00:21:04.900
 Christian

00:21:04.900 --> 00:21:05.220
 should

00:21:05.220 --> 00:21:05.960
 participate

00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:06.180
 in

00:21:06.180 --> 00:21:06.599
 Halloween.

00:21:09.299 --> 00:21:09.839
 People

00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:10.039
 have

00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:10.299
 different

00:21:10.299 --> 00:21:10.759
 opinions

00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:10.960
 on

00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:11.319
 Halloween.

00:21:13.740 --> 00:21:14.460
 But can

00:21:14.460 --> 00:21:14.920
 you make

00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:15.920
 that into

00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:16.559
 a thus

00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:17.240
 saith the

00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:17.519
 Lord?

00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:18.519
 Lord, you

00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:18.900
 can't.

00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:20.680
 Make a

00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:21.220
 good case.

00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:23.740
 Let's

00:21:23.740 --> 00:21:24.279
 debate it.

00:21:27.180 --> 00:21:27.819
 Here's the

00:21:27.819 --> 00:21:28.539
 ways that we

00:21:28.539 --> 00:21:29.359
 as Christians

00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:30.660
 today have

00:21:30.660 --> 00:21:33.180
 made our

00:21:33.180 --> 00:21:34.079
 applications.

00:21:35.660 --> 00:21:36.559
 We raise

00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:37.039
 them to the

00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:38.119
 same bar as

00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:39.619
 thus saith

00:21:39.619 --> 00:21:40.059
 the Lord.

00:21:42.220 --> 00:21:42.900
 Every one

00:21:42.900 --> 00:21:43.400
 of us has

00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:44.000
 an inner

00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:44.740
 Pharisee.

00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:49.259
 we like

00:21:49.259 --> 00:21:49.639
 to make

00:21:49.639 --> 00:21:50.240
 rules and

00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:50.799
 regulations

00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:51.420
 to live

00:21:51.420 --> 00:21:51.720
 by.

00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:53.539
 Because we

00:21:53.539 --> 00:21:53.879
 think we're

00:21:53.879 --> 00:21:54.259
 safe.

00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:57.000
 But these

00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:58.019
 man-made

00:21:58.019 --> 00:22:00.019
 restrictions

00:22:00.019 --> 00:22:01.039
 that go

00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:01.799
 beyond God's

00:22:01.799 --> 00:22:02.099
 Word,

00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:04.240
 they don't

00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:05.259
 keep us

00:22:05.259 --> 00:22:06.059
 clean.

00:22:06.059 --> 00:22:08.299
 And we

00:22:08.299 --> 00:22:08.639
 make the

00:22:08.639 --> 00:22:09.119
 mistake

00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:10.319
 of putting

00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:11.180
 our words

00:22:11.180 --> 00:22:11.559
 in the

00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:11.900
 mouth of

00:22:11.900 --> 00:22:12.139
 God.

00:22:12.140 --> 00:22:12.180
 God.

00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:15.460
 So here

00:22:15.460 --> 00:22:15.860
 we have

00:22:15.860 --> 00:22:16.360
 Jesus

00:22:16.360 --> 00:22:17.540
 in verses

00:22:17.540 --> 00:22:19.280
 1-13

00:22:19.280 --> 00:22:20.540
 exposing

00:22:20.540 --> 00:22:21.380
 the

00:22:21.380 --> 00:22:22.600
 outside-in

00:22:22.600 --> 00:22:23.240
 mistake.

00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:25.340
 But then

00:22:25.340 --> 00:22:25.660
 in verses

00:22:25.660 --> 00:22:26.740
 14-23

00:22:26.740 --> 00:22:27.140
 He

00:22:27.140 --> 00:22:28.940
 supplies a

00:22:28.940 --> 00:22:29.880
 corrective

00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:32.240
 inside-out

00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:33.759
 defilement,

00:22:33.780 --> 00:22:33.980
 the way

00:22:33.980 --> 00:22:34.480
 things really

00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:34.820
 are.

00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:35.920
 Let me

00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:36.200
 read that

00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:36.600
 for you.

00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:39.020
 14-23

00:22:39.019 --> 00:22:40.119
 and He

00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:40.440
 called the

00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:40.839
 people to

00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:41.259
 Him again

00:22:41.259 --> 00:22:41.599
 and said

00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:41.879
 to them,

00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:42.420
 Hear me

00:22:42.420 --> 00:22:42.779
 all of

00:22:42.779 --> 00:22:43.119
 you and

00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:43.639
 understand,

00:22:44.180 --> 00:22:44.759
 there is

00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:45.519
 nothing

00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:46.539
 outside a

00:22:46.539 --> 00:22:47.139
 person that

00:22:47.139 --> 00:22:47.779
 by going

00:22:47.779 --> 00:22:48.220
 into him

00:22:48.220 --> 00:22:48.839
 can defile

00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:49.079
 him,

00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:49.599
 but the

00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:49.980
 things that

00:22:49.980 --> 00:22:50.440
 come out

00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:50.680
 of a

00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:51.259
 person are

00:22:51.259 --> 00:22:51.900
 what defile

00:22:51.900 --> 00:22:52.160
 him.

00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:53.099
 And when

00:22:53.099 --> 00:22:53.319
 He had

00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:53.759
 entered the

00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:54.180
 house and

00:22:54.180 --> 00:22:54.500
 left the

00:22:54.500 --> 00:22:54.799
 people,

00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:55.339
 His

00:22:55.339 --> 00:22:55.740
 disciples

00:22:55.740 --> 00:22:56.279
 asked Him

00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:56.720
 about the

00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:57.099
 parable,

00:22:57.519 --> 00:22:57.720
 and He

00:22:57.720 --> 00:22:58.059
 said to

00:22:58.059 --> 00:22:58.259
 them,

00:22:58.799 --> 00:22:59.180
 Then are

00:22:59.180 --> 00:22:59.639
 you also

00:22:59.639 --> 00:22:59.900
 without

00:22:59.900 --> 00:23:00.400
 understanding?

00:23:01.619 --> 00:23:01.879
 Do you

00:23:01.879 --> 00:23:02.259
 not see

00:23:02.259 --> 00:23:02.700
 that whatever

00:23:02.700 --> 00:23:03.139
 goes into

00:23:03.139 --> 00:23:03.599
 a person

00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:04.259
 from outside

00:23:04.259 --> 00:23:04.980
 cannot defile

00:23:04.980 --> 00:23:05.200
 him,

00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:05.900
 since it

00:23:05.900 --> 00:23:06.420
 enters not

00:23:06.420 --> 00:23:06.799
 his heart

00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:07.139
 but his

00:23:07.140 --> 00:23:07.580
 stomach and

00:23:07.580 --> 00:23:08.120
 is expelled?

00:23:08.420 --> 00:23:08.800
 Thus He

00:23:08.800 --> 00:23:09.400
 declared all

00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:10.080
 foods clean.

00:23:10.460 --> 00:23:10.720
 Amen.

00:23:12.100 --> 00:23:12.380
 And He

00:23:12.380 --> 00:23:12.620
 said,

00:23:12.780 --> 00:23:13.220
 What comes

00:23:13.220 --> 00:23:13.780
 out of a

00:23:13.780 --> 00:23:14.240
 person is

00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:14.940
 what defiles

00:23:14.940 --> 00:23:15.160
 him.

00:23:15.259 --> 00:23:15.920
 From within,

00:23:17.380 --> 00:23:18.360
 out of the

00:23:18.360 --> 00:23:18.759
 heart of

00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:19.200
 man,

00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:20.520
 come evil

00:23:20.520 --> 00:23:21.080
 thoughts,

00:23:21.660 --> 00:23:21.980
 sexual

00:23:21.980 --> 00:23:22.620
 immorality,

00:23:23.280 --> 00:23:23.660
 theft,

00:23:24.220 --> 00:23:24.640
 murder,

00:23:25.080 --> 00:23:25.640
 adultery,

00:23:26.140 --> 00:23:26.600
 coveting,

00:23:27.100 --> 00:23:27.700
 wickedness,

00:23:28.040 --> 00:23:28.560
 deceit,

00:23:29.060 --> 00:23:29.860
 sensuality,

00:23:30.280 --> 00:23:30.640
 envy,

00:23:31.080 --> 00:23:31.580
 slander,

00:23:32.020 --> 00:23:32.480
 pride,

00:23:33.080 --> 00:23:33.720
 foolishness.

00:23:34.300 --> 00:23:35.520
 All these

00:23:35.520 --> 00:23:36.560
 evil things

00:23:36.560 --> 00:23:37.100
 come from

00:23:37.099 --> 00:23:37.500
 within,

00:23:38.859 --> 00:23:39.439
 and they

00:23:39.439 --> 00:23:39.939
 defile a

00:23:39.939 --> 00:23:40.240
 person.

00:23:42.959 --> 00:23:43.559
 So this

00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:44.259
 whole passage,

00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:45.279
 verses 1-23,

00:23:45.539 --> 00:23:46.559
 it now takes

00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:47.399
 a turn in

00:23:47.399 --> 00:23:48.039
 verse 14.

00:23:48.579 --> 00:23:48.839
 And you

00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:49.319
 can see it

00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:49.779
 because He's

00:23:49.779 --> 00:23:50.139
 no longer

00:23:50.139 --> 00:23:50.659
 talking to

00:23:50.659 --> 00:23:51.299
 the Pharisees

00:23:51.299 --> 00:23:51.859
 and scribes.

00:23:52.099 --> 00:23:52.579
 He's now

00:23:52.579 --> 00:23:53.419
 called a

00:23:53.419 --> 00:23:53.939
 people back

00:23:53.939 --> 00:23:54.240
 to Him.

00:23:54.459 --> 00:23:55.039
 This crowd

00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:55.619
 comes back

00:23:55.619 --> 00:23:55.919
 to them,

00:23:56.139 --> 00:23:56.459
 and what

00:23:56.459 --> 00:23:56.919
 Jesus is

00:23:56.919 --> 00:23:57.339
 doing here,

00:23:57.379 --> 00:23:57.559
 He's saying,

00:23:57.639 --> 00:23:58.000
 let me just

00:23:58.000 --> 00:23:58.299
 set the

00:23:58.299 --> 00:23:58.899
 record straight,

00:23:59.000 --> 00:23:59.319
 everybody.

00:23:59.319 --> 00:23:59.399
 Everybody.

00:24:02.639 --> 00:24:03.219
 And He

00:24:03.219 --> 00:24:03.819
 says in

00:24:03.819 --> 00:24:04.599
 verse 15,

00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:06.339
 there is

00:24:06.339 --> 00:24:07.119
 nothing outside

00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:07.659
 a person

00:24:07.659 --> 00:24:08.359
 that by going

00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:08.819
 into Him

00:24:08.819 --> 00:24:09.399
 can defile

00:24:09.399 --> 00:24:09.659
 Him,

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:10.319
 but the

00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:10.799
 things that

00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:11.299
 come out

00:24:11.299 --> 00:24:11.779
 of a person

00:24:11.779 --> 00:24:12.219
 are what

00:24:12.219 --> 00:24:12.879
 defile Him.

00:24:13.159 --> 00:24:13.559
 And in

00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:14.299
 that sentence,

00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:15.199
 He blows

00:24:15.199 --> 00:24:16.579
 up the

00:24:16.579 --> 00:24:17.099
 tradition of

00:24:17.099 --> 00:24:17.500
 the elders.

00:24:18.259 --> 00:24:18.639
 Blows it

00:24:18.639 --> 00:24:18.879
 up.

00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:23.199
 Because what

00:24:23.199 --> 00:24:23.679
 He's saying

00:24:23.679 --> 00:24:25.259
 is defilement

00:24:25.259 --> 00:24:26.980
 isn't

00:24:26.980 --> 00:24:27.579
 transferred

00:24:27.579 --> 00:24:28.859
 by touch.

00:24:28.859 --> 00:24:31.119
 it's not

00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:31.439
 what you

00:24:31.439 --> 00:24:32.740
 eat that

00:24:32.740 --> 00:24:33.339
 will defile

00:24:33.339 --> 00:24:33.699
 you.

00:24:34.939 --> 00:24:35.199
 And in

00:24:35.199 --> 00:24:35.819
 verses 17

00:24:35.819 --> 00:24:36.419
 through 23,

00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:37.099
 there's another

00:24:37.099 --> 00:24:37.919
 scene change.

00:24:39.079 --> 00:24:39.459
 He goes

00:24:39.459 --> 00:24:40.359
 from talking

00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:40.979
 to this

00:24:40.979 --> 00:24:41.819
 crowd outside

00:24:41.819 --> 00:24:42.759
 to moving

00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:43.259
 into a

00:24:43.259 --> 00:24:43.740
 house,

00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:45.500
 leaves the

00:24:45.500 --> 00:24:45.939
 crowd,

00:24:46.139 --> 00:24:46.619
 and is now

00:24:46.619 --> 00:24:47.159
 with His

00:24:47.159 --> 00:24:47.759
 family of

00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:48.019
 faith,

00:24:48.099 --> 00:24:48.799
 His disciples.

00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:50.039
 Remember,

00:24:50.139 --> 00:24:50.500
 at the end

00:24:50.500 --> 00:24:51.319
 of Mark

00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:51.919
 chapter 3.

00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:54.479
 And they

00:24:54.479 --> 00:24:54.740
 have a

00:24:54.740 --> 00:24:55.379
 question for

00:24:55.379 --> 00:24:55.579
 Him.

00:24:55.919 --> 00:24:56.579
 Verse 17.

00:24:57.319 --> 00:24:57.599
 And in

00:24:57.599 --> 00:24:58.339
 verses 18

00:24:58.339 --> 00:24:59.039
 to 23,

00:24:59.199 --> 00:24:59.720
 He supplies

00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:00.279
 the answer.

00:25:01.699 --> 00:25:02.220
 So the

00:25:02.220 --> 00:25:02.899
 question in

00:25:02.899 --> 00:25:03.639
 verse 17

00:25:03.639 --> 00:25:06.179
 is asked

00:25:06.179 --> 00:25:06.519
 by His

00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:06.919
 disciples.

00:25:07.139 --> 00:25:09.339
 They want

00:25:09.339 --> 00:25:09.659
 to know

00:25:09.659 --> 00:25:10.240
 about this

00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:10.839
 saying,

00:25:10.980 --> 00:25:11.519
 this parable

00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:11.839
 that He

00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:12.039
 said.

00:25:12.099 --> 00:25:12.240
 Let me

00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:12.559
 just read

00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:12.740
 it to

00:25:12.740 --> 00:25:13.099
 you again.

00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:13.799
 There's

00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:14.059
 nothing

00:25:14.059 --> 00:25:14.500
 outside a

00:25:14.500 --> 00:25:14.959
 person that

00:25:14.959 --> 00:25:15.419
 by going

00:25:15.419 --> 00:25:15.799
 into Him

00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:16.299
 can defile

00:25:16.299 --> 00:25:16.519
 him,

00:25:16.779 --> 00:25:17.079
 but the

00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:17.439
 things that

00:25:17.439 --> 00:25:17.759
 come out

00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:17.980
 of a

00:25:17.980 --> 00:25:18.480
 person are

00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:18.679
 what

00:25:18.679 --> 00:25:19.019
 defile

00:25:19.019 --> 00:25:19.679
 them.

00:25:19.879 --> 00:25:20.039
 Now,

00:25:20.119 --> 00:25:20.599
 if you

00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:21.079
 were one

00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:21.279
 of His

00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:21.699
 disciples,

00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:22.399
 most likely

00:25:22.399 --> 00:25:22.959
 you grew

00:25:22.959 --> 00:25:23.379
 up in

00:25:23.379 --> 00:25:23.879
 some kind

00:25:23.879 --> 00:25:24.639
 of Jewish

00:25:24.639 --> 00:25:25.459
 context of

00:25:25.459 --> 00:25:25.899
 that time.

00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:26.579
 So you're

00:25:26.579 --> 00:25:27.000
 thinking,

00:25:27.179 --> 00:25:27.759
 hold on a

00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:27.959
 second,

00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:28.220
 Jesus,

00:25:28.339 --> 00:25:28.519
 I don't

00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:28.819
 think I've

00:25:28.819 --> 00:25:29.119
 ever heard

00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:29.399
 you say

00:25:29.399 --> 00:25:29.859
 that before.

00:25:31.019 --> 00:25:31.579
 Are you

00:25:31.579 --> 00:25:31.959
 saying we

00:25:31.959 --> 00:25:32.299
 don't need

00:25:32.299 --> 00:25:32.799
 to wash

00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:33.220
 our hands?

00:25:33.299 --> 00:25:33.759
 Because I

00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:34.159
 grew up in

00:25:34.159 --> 00:25:34.619
 a culture,

00:25:35.179 --> 00:25:35.879
 I was being

00:25:35.879 --> 00:25:36.619
 told every

00:25:36.619 --> 00:25:37.319
 day since

00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:37.919
 I grew up,

00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:38.500
 Michael,

00:25:38.639 --> 00:25:38.839
 have you

00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:39.199
 washed your

00:25:39.199 --> 00:25:39.480
 hands so

00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:39.720
 that you

00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:39.959
 can be

00:25:39.959 --> 00:25:40.659
 pure before

00:25:40.659 --> 00:25:41.039
 you eat?

00:25:43.919 --> 00:25:44.359
 Jesus,

00:25:44.539 --> 00:25:46.839
 are you

00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:47.199
 saying it

00:25:47.199 --> 00:25:47.720
 doesn't matter

00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:48.099
 what we

00:25:48.099 --> 00:25:48.319
 eat?

00:25:51.500 --> 00:25:52.000
 So when

00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:52.379
 you think

00:25:52.379 --> 00:25:52.980
 about it,

00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:54.179
 there's good

00:25:54.179 --> 00:25:54.679
 reason for

00:25:54.679 --> 00:25:55.240
 His disciples

00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:55.759
 to be asking

00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:56.480
 questions about

00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:56.959
 that saying.

00:25:58.339 --> 00:26:03.799
 18-23,

00:26:04.019 --> 00:26:05.000
 Jesus answers

00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:05.679
 their question

00:26:05.679 --> 00:26:06.819
 and 18

00:26:06.819 --> 00:26:07.319
 starts with

00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:07.659
 a mild

00:26:07.659 --> 00:26:08.099
 rebuke.

00:26:09.019 --> 00:26:09.379
 Then are

00:26:09.379 --> 00:26:09.759
 you also

00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:10.039
 without

00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:10.539
 understanding?

00:26:12.299 --> 00:26:12.959
 You guys

00:26:12.959 --> 00:26:13.339
 seem to be

00:26:13.339 --> 00:26:13.519
 a little

00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:13.919
 slow.

00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:16.299
 The reality

00:26:16.299 --> 00:26:16.720
 is I think

00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:17.220
 everybody in

00:26:17.220 --> 00:26:17.500
 the room

00:26:17.500 --> 00:26:18.159
 identifies with

00:26:18.159 --> 00:26:18.519
 being a little

00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:18.939
 slow.

00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:20.919
 It takes

00:26:20.919 --> 00:26:21.319
 some time

00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:21.679
 to fully

00:26:21.679 --> 00:26:22.099
 understand

00:26:22.099 --> 00:26:22.519
 what Jesus

00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:23.079
 calls us

00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:23.259
 to.

00:26:23.259 --> 00:26:26.619
 And then

00:26:26.619 --> 00:26:27.220
 in the

00:26:27.220 --> 00:26:27.720
 second part

00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:28.220
 of 18

00:26:28.220 --> 00:26:28.819
 into 19,

00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:30.200
 He starts

00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:30.859
 to spell

00:26:30.859 --> 00:26:31.259
 it out

00:26:31.259 --> 00:26:31.720
 for His

00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:32.180
 disciples.

00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:32.980
 Just spell

00:26:32.980 --> 00:26:33.279
 it out

00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:33.660
 for us,

00:26:33.740 --> 00:26:33.960
 Jesus.

00:26:35.379 --> 00:26:35.700
 Look what

00:26:35.700 --> 00:26:36.099
 He says.

00:26:39.099 --> 00:26:39.420
 Do you

00:26:39.420 --> 00:26:39.940
 not see

00:26:39.940 --> 00:26:41.519
 that whatever

00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:42.160
 goes into

00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:42.660
 a person

00:26:42.660 --> 00:26:43.379
 from outside

00:26:43.379 --> 00:26:43.579
 Him

00:26:43.579 --> 00:26:44.319
 cannot defile

00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:44.599
 Him?

00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:46.099
 Verse 19,

00:26:46.099 --> 00:26:48.039
 since it

00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:48.599
 enters not

00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:49.079
 His heart

00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:49.459
 but His

00:26:49.459 --> 00:26:49.779
 stomach

00:26:49.779 --> 00:26:51.099
 and is

00:26:51.099 --> 00:26:51.659
 expelled.

00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:52.279
 What Jesus

00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:53.399
 does is He

00:26:53.399 --> 00:26:53.839
 gives us an

00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:54.519
 anatomy lesson.

00:26:56.539 --> 00:26:56.759
 He's like,

00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:57.419
 hey, do you

00:26:57.419 --> 00:26:57.899
 not realize

00:26:57.899 --> 00:26:58.339
 that what you

00:26:58.339 --> 00:26:58.839
 eat, it

00:26:58.839 --> 00:26:59.519
 doesn't defile

00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:00.119
 you because

00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:00.639
 it goes

00:27:00.639 --> 00:27:00.899
 into your

00:27:00.899 --> 00:27:01.099
 mouth,

00:27:01.259 --> 00:27:01.459
 into your

00:27:01.459 --> 00:27:01.679
 stomach,

00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:02.399
 and then

00:27:02.399 --> 00:27:03.259
 expelled.

00:27:05.259 --> 00:27:05.839
 And His

00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:06.379
 point is

00:27:06.379 --> 00:27:06.779
 this.

00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:08.399
 In verse 19,

00:27:08.579 --> 00:27:09.059
 it never

00:27:09.059 --> 00:27:09.759
 enters your

00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:10.139
 heart.

00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:14.079
 And when

00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:14.579
 Jesus starts

00:27:14.579 --> 00:27:15.119
 talking about

00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:15.539
 the heart,

00:27:15.619 --> 00:27:15.899
 He's not

00:27:15.900 --> 00:27:16.519
 talking about

00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:17.320
 the muscle

00:27:17.320 --> 00:27:17.640
 in your

00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:18.200
 chest right

00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:19.040
 now that

00:27:19.040 --> 00:27:19.500
 is pumping

00:27:19.500 --> 00:27:20.700
 oxygen-rich

00:27:20.700 --> 00:27:21.620
 blood into

00:27:21.620 --> 00:27:22.259
 your body

00:27:22.259 --> 00:27:22.780
 so that you

00:27:22.780 --> 00:27:23.220
 can live.

00:27:23.740 --> 00:27:24.000
 He's not

00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:24.380
 talking about

00:27:24.380 --> 00:27:24.740
 that heart.

00:27:26.040 --> 00:27:26.540
 He's talking

00:27:26.540 --> 00:27:28.060
 about what

00:27:28.060 --> 00:27:28.560
 the Hebrews

00:27:28.560 --> 00:27:29.560
 thought as

00:27:29.560 --> 00:27:30.080
 the core

00:27:30.080 --> 00:27:30.680
 of who you

00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:32.200
 are, the

00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:33.019
 control center

00:27:33.019 --> 00:27:33.660
 of your

00:27:33.660 --> 00:27:35.220
 life, the

00:27:35.220 --> 00:27:37.060
 seat of a

00:27:37.060 --> 00:27:37.460
 person's

00:27:37.460 --> 00:27:38.360
 emotions and

00:27:38.360 --> 00:27:39.220
 thinking and

00:27:39.220 --> 00:27:39.980
 will and

00:27:39.980 --> 00:27:40.400
 worship.

00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:41.800
 You live out

00:27:41.800 --> 00:27:42.100
 of your

00:27:42.100 --> 00:27:42.680
 heart.

00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:44.940
 Is anybody

00:27:44.940 --> 00:27:45.259
 in the room

00:27:45.259 --> 00:27:45.779
 a Star Trek

00:27:45.779 --> 00:27:46.059
 fan?

00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:49.059
 I see

00:27:49.059 --> 00:27:50.240
 that hand.

00:27:53.379 --> 00:27:55.319
 Well, I'm

00:27:55.319 --> 00:27:55.960
 a bit of a

00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:56.299
 Star Trek

00:27:56.299 --> 00:27:56.619
 fan.

00:27:58.000 --> 00:27:58.879
 Old school

00:27:58.879 --> 00:28:00.379
 Captain

00:28:00.379 --> 00:28:01.059
 James T.

00:28:01.180 --> 00:28:02.559
 Kirk of

00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:03.059
 the USS

00:28:03.059 --> 00:28:03.579
 Enterprise.

00:28:04.619 --> 00:28:04.900
 There you

00:28:04.900 --> 00:28:05.099
 go.

00:28:05.099 --> 00:28:11.059
 James T.

00:28:11.059 --> 00:28:12.019
 Kirk, do

00:28:12.019 --> 00:28:12.179
 you know

00:28:12.179 --> 00:28:12.559
 where we

00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:13.419
 see James

00:28:13.419 --> 00:28:13.839
 T. Kirk

00:28:13.839 --> 00:28:15.259
 a lot in

00:28:15.259 --> 00:28:15.659
 episodes?

00:28:16.219 --> 00:28:16.919
 He's in his

00:28:16.919 --> 00:28:17.599
 captain's chair

00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:18.199
 on the what?

00:28:19.059 --> 00:28:19.939
 The bridge

00:28:19.939 --> 00:28:20.639
 of the USS

00:28:20.639 --> 00:28:21.259
 Enterprise.

00:28:21.679 --> 00:28:22.759
 Now, if we

00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:23.679
 were a Klingon

00:28:23.679 --> 00:28:25.719
 horde wanting

00:28:25.719 --> 00:28:26.439
 to take over

00:28:26.439 --> 00:28:27.219
 the USS

00:28:27.219 --> 00:28:28.559
 Enterprise,

00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:30.200
 I would

00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:30.819
 have our

00:28:30.819 --> 00:28:31.339
 beamer

00:28:31.339 --> 00:28:31.899
 person,

00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:32.619
 beam us

00:28:32.619 --> 00:28:34.319
 all onto

00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:35.200
 the bridge

00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:36.019
 of the USS

00:28:36.019 --> 00:28:36.460
 Enterprise.

00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:37.079
 Do you know

00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:37.299
 why?

00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:38.599
 If you

00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:39.119
 control the

00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:39.500
 bridge of

00:28:39.500 --> 00:28:39.879
 the USS

00:28:39.879 --> 00:28:40.319
 Enterprise,

00:28:40.679 --> 00:28:41.200
 you control

00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:41.659
 the USS

00:28:41.659 --> 00:28:42.119
 Enterprise.

00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:43.039
 We can

00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:43.619
 hijack it.

00:28:44.940 --> 00:28:45.559
 So when

00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:46.000
 Jesus is

00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:46.519
 talking about

00:28:46.519 --> 00:28:47.139
 the heart,

00:28:48.159 --> 00:28:48.619
 he's talking

00:28:48.619 --> 00:28:48.919
 about the

00:28:48.919 --> 00:28:49.940
 control center,

00:28:50.220 --> 00:28:51.039
 your bridge

00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:51.700
 of your

00:28:51.700 --> 00:28:52.099
 life.

00:28:52.220 --> 00:28:52.899
 What controls

00:28:52.899 --> 00:28:53.220
 you?

00:28:54.700 --> 00:28:55.259
 Where you

00:28:55.259 --> 00:28:56.019
 make decisions,

00:28:56.279 --> 00:28:56.759
 emotions,

00:28:57.279 --> 00:28:58.319
 where you

00:28:58.319 --> 00:28:59.059
 make priorities

00:28:59.059 --> 00:28:59.480
 from where

00:28:59.480 --> 00:28:59.980
 you worship,

00:29:00.259 --> 00:29:00.940
 out of the

00:29:00.940 --> 00:29:01.539
 overflow of

00:29:01.539 --> 00:29:02.180
 the heart,

00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:03.579
 you live.

00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:07.299
 So what

00:29:07.299 --> 00:29:07.759
 Jesus is

00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:08.240
 doing here

00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:09.500
 is very

00:29:09.500 --> 00:29:09.900
 simple.

00:29:11.180 --> 00:29:11.680
 He's saying

00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:12.799
 what you

00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:15.519
 eat has

00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:17.579
 no defiling

00:29:17.579 --> 00:29:18.799
 influence or

00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:20.480
 consequence on

00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:21.000
 the control

00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:21.660
 center of

00:29:21.660 --> 00:29:22.160
 your being.

00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:24.440
 Food

00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:25.400
 doesn't

00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:25.900
 defile

00:29:25.900 --> 00:29:27.519
 you because

00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:28.460
 it can't.

00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:30.820
 It doesn't

00:29:30.820 --> 00:29:32.120
 enter your

00:29:32.120 --> 00:29:32.500
 heart.

00:29:36.120 --> 00:29:36.519
 And Mark

00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:37.220
 spells out

00:29:37.220 --> 00:29:37.900
 the immediate

00:29:37.900 --> 00:29:38.560
 implication.

00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:40.519
 He declared

00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:41.140
 all foods

00:29:41.140 --> 00:29:41.500
 clean.

00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:42.320
 Do you know

00:29:42.320 --> 00:29:42.740
 what yours

00:29:42.740 --> 00:29:43.340
 truly had

00:29:43.340 --> 00:29:43.800
 this week?

00:29:44.259 --> 00:29:45.100
 I had some

00:29:45.100 --> 00:29:45.740
 pork chops

00:29:45.740 --> 00:29:47.259
 and they were

00:29:47.259 --> 00:29:47.780
 delicious.

00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:49.420
 Not once

00:29:49.420 --> 00:29:49.880
 did I think

00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:50.420
 they defiled

00:29:50.420 --> 00:29:50.660
 me.

00:29:52.560 --> 00:29:53.360
 If I were

00:29:53.360 --> 00:29:53.600
 a Jew

00:29:53.600 --> 00:29:54.360
 growing up

00:29:54.359 --> 00:29:55.500
 in Galilee

00:29:55.500 --> 00:29:56.119
 at this

00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:56.439
 time,

00:29:57.500 --> 00:29:57.839
 oh, I

00:29:57.839 --> 00:29:58.019
 would have

00:29:58.019 --> 00:29:58.259
 been in a

00:29:58.259 --> 00:29:58.459
 lot of

00:29:58.459 --> 00:29:58.699
 trouble.

00:30:00.819 --> 00:30:01.679
 But Jesus

00:30:01.679 --> 00:30:02.539
 is saying

00:30:02.539 --> 00:30:04.799
 no, that's

00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:05.099
 not your

00:30:05.099 --> 00:30:05.500
 problem.

00:30:07.059 --> 00:30:07.619
 Food

00:30:07.619 --> 00:30:08.359
 coming into

00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:09.079
 you is not

00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:09.639
 your problem.

00:30:10.859 --> 00:30:11.879
 But if food

00:30:11.879 --> 00:30:12.899
 can't defile

00:30:12.899 --> 00:30:13.779
 us in God's

00:30:13.779 --> 00:30:15.659
 sight, what

00:30:15.659 --> 00:30:16.099
 does?

00:30:16.099 --> 00:30:16.240
 defiles us.

00:30:18.959 --> 00:30:19.639
 And Jesus

00:30:19.639 --> 00:30:20.799
 continues with

00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:21.439
 his correction.

00:30:21.919 --> 00:30:22.179
 In verses

00:30:22.179 --> 00:30:23.439
 20-23, he

00:30:23.439 --> 00:30:24.359
 clearly shows

00:30:24.359 --> 00:30:25.179
 us what

00:30:25.179 --> 00:30:25.879
 defiles us.

00:30:26.179 --> 00:30:26.759
 He clearly

00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:28.299
 shows where,

00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:29.619
 from where,

00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:30.319
 we are

00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:30.859
 defiled.

00:30:31.079 --> 00:30:31.699
 And it's not

00:30:31.699 --> 00:30:32.699
 outside of us,

00:30:32.879 --> 00:30:34.099
 it's inside of

00:30:34.099 --> 00:30:34.199
 us.

00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:34.599
 Look at verse

00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:34.899
 20.

00:30:35.179 --> 00:30:35.599
 And he said,

00:30:35.719 --> 00:30:36.539
 what comes out

00:30:36.539 --> 00:30:37.399
 of a person is

00:30:37.399 --> 00:30:38.079
 what defiles

00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:38.319
 him.

00:30:38.579 --> 00:30:38.959
 Look at verse

00:30:38.959 --> 00:30:39.399
 21.

00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:39.919
 He gets a

00:30:39.919 --> 00:30:40.240
 little bit

00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:40.759
 narrower.

00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:42.299
 From within.

00:30:42.299 --> 00:30:43.240
 And then the

00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:43.859
 next phrase,

00:30:44.180 --> 00:30:45.680
 he hits the

00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:46.240
 bullseye.

00:30:46.859 --> 00:30:48.119
 Out of the

00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:49.779
 heart of man.

00:30:50.619 --> 00:30:51.339
 Your control

00:30:51.339 --> 00:30:52.399
 center is a

00:30:52.399 --> 00:30:52.839
 corruption

00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:53.339
 center.

00:30:54.779 --> 00:30:55.339
 John Calvin

00:30:55.339 --> 00:30:56.019
 talked about the

00:30:56.019 --> 00:30:56.960
 human heart as

00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:57.399
 an idle

00:30:57.399 --> 00:30:57.879
 factory.

00:30:58.859 --> 00:30:59.519
 Jesus talks

00:30:59.519 --> 00:30:59.899
 about the

00:30:59.899 --> 00:31:00.940
 human heart as

00:31:00.940 --> 00:31:01.559
 an evil

00:31:01.559 --> 00:31:02.119
 factory.

00:31:03.180 --> 00:31:03.940
 You generate

00:31:03.940 --> 00:31:04.500
 evil from your

00:31:04.500 --> 00:31:04.680
 heart.

00:31:06.139 --> 00:31:06.659
 And then he

00:31:06.659 --> 00:31:07.319
 uses that

00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:09.159
 phrase,

00:31:10.159 --> 00:31:11.240
 evil thoughts.

00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:11.919
 It's like a

00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:13.600
 banner flying

00:31:13.600 --> 00:31:14.660
 over the

00:31:14.660 --> 00:31:15.840
 next 12

00:31:15.840 --> 00:31:16.720
 evils.

00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:17.800
 Let me just

00:31:17.800 --> 00:31:19.560
 list them for

00:31:19.560 --> 00:31:19.700
 you.

00:31:20.840 --> 00:31:21.560
 Out of your

00:31:21.560 --> 00:31:23.740
 heart comes

00:31:23.740 --> 00:31:24.800
 sexual immorality.

00:31:26.120 --> 00:31:26.980
 Any sexual

00:31:26.980 --> 00:31:27.759
 activity outside

00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:28.140
 the marital

00:31:28.140 --> 00:31:28.500
 union.

00:31:29.820 --> 00:31:30.259
 Out of your

00:31:30.259 --> 00:31:30.660
 heart comes

00:31:30.660 --> 00:31:30.940
 theft.

00:31:31.080 --> 00:31:31.400
 Out of your

00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:31.820
 heart comes

00:31:31.820 --> 00:31:32.740
 murder and

00:31:32.740 --> 00:31:33.720
 adultery and

00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:34.560
 coveting and

00:31:34.560 --> 00:31:35.080
 wickedness,

00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:36.080
 which is malice.

00:31:36.080 --> 00:31:37.800
 It's hate

00:31:37.800 --> 00:31:38.800
 heartedness.

00:31:40.019 --> 00:31:40.700
 Out of your

00:31:40.700 --> 00:31:41.140
 heart comes

00:31:41.140 --> 00:31:41.539
 deceit.

00:31:41.539 --> 00:31:42.019
 Out of your

00:31:42.019 --> 00:31:42.460
 heart comes

00:31:42.460 --> 00:31:43.200
 sensuality,

00:31:43.339 --> 00:31:44.379
 this hedonism

00:31:44.379 --> 00:31:45.000
 that's pursuing

00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:45.460
 pleasure.

00:31:46.139 --> 00:31:46.559
 Out of your

00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:47.000
 heart comes

00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:47.339
 envy.

00:31:47.500 --> 00:31:47.879
 Out of your

00:31:47.879 --> 00:31:48.379
 heart comes

00:31:48.379 --> 00:31:48.700
 slander.

00:31:48.859 --> 00:31:49.220
 Out of your

00:31:49.220 --> 00:31:49.680
 heart comes

00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:50.279
 pride and

00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:50.879
 foolishness.

00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:51.799
 He does

00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:52.779
 not relent,

00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:53.420
 does he?

00:31:56.639 --> 00:31:57.440
 In what he's

00:31:57.440 --> 00:31:57.779
 doing there,

00:31:57.879 --> 00:31:58.579
 this is not a

00:31:58.579 --> 00:31:59.500
 list coming

00:31:59.500 --> 00:32:00.159
 from the

00:32:00.159 --> 00:32:00.700
 tradition of

00:32:00.700 --> 00:32:01.119
 the elders.

00:32:02.220 --> 00:32:03.000
 This is a

00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:03.619
 list coming

00:32:03.619 --> 00:32:04.099
 from your

00:32:04.099 --> 00:32:04.519
 Bible.

00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:07.119
 Five of the

00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:08.119
 twelve come

00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:08.680
 right out of

00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:08.980
 the Ten

00:32:08.980 --> 00:32:09.659
 Commandments.

00:32:09.660 --> 00:32:12.500
 what Jesus

00:32:12.500 --> 00:32:13.120
 is saying,

00:32:13.380 --> 00:32:13.759
 and this is

00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:14.040
 where you

00:32:14.040 --> 00:32:14.400
 need to

00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:15.560
 just ask

00:32:15.560 --> 00:32:15.980
 the question,

00:32:16.080 --> 00:32:16.320
 is it

00:32:16.320 --> 00:32:16.680
 true or

00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:17.000
 not?

00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:19.960
 Is that

00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:20.840
 everyone in

00:32:20.840 --> 00:32:21.400
 the room,

00:32:22.620 --> 00:32:23.300
 every one of

00:32:23.300 --> 00:32:24.100
 our hearts

00:32:24.100 --> 00:32:25.800
 is capable

00:32:25.800 --> 00:32:27.380
 of producing

00:32:27.380 --> 00:32:29.460
 any and

00:32:29.460 --> 00:32:31.120
 all of

00:32:31.120 --> 00:32:32.279
 these twelve

00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:33.540
 evil things.

00:32:33.539 --> 00:32:36.859
 all of

00:32:36.859 --> 00:32:37.240
 us.

00:32:41.619 --> 00:32:42.599
 These evils,

00:32:42.779 --> 00:32:43.200
 according to

00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:43.500
 Jesus,

00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:44.799
 come from

00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:45.379
 our hearts.

00:32:45.500 --> 00:32:45.759
 They're not

00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:46.519
 outside of

00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:46.759
 us.

00:32:47.059 --> 00:32:47.440
 The devil

00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:47.920
 doesn't make

00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:48.359
 me do it.

00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:48.779
 The world

00:32:48.779 --> 00:32:49.240
 doesn't make

00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:49.619
 me do it.

00:32:49.859 --> 00:32:50.240
 The person

00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:50.759
 that sinned

00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:51.200
 against me

00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:51.740
 doesn't make

00:32:51.740 --> 00:32:52.299
 me do this.

00:32:52.500 --> 00:32:52.920
 I make

00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:53.200
 me do

00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:53.579
 this.

00:32:56.940 --> 00:32:57.519
 It's not

00:32:57.519 --> 00:32:58.099
 outside of

00:32:58.099 --> 00:32:58.220
 you.

00:32:58.319 --> 00:32:58.879
 It's inside

00:32:58.879 --> 00:32:59.319
 of you in

00:32:59.319 --> 00:32:59.680
 the point

00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:00.200
 Jesus is

00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:00.759
 getting at

00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:01.720
 and you're

00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:02.220
 responsible.

00:33:02.220 --> 00:33:04.680
 you're

00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:05.360
 responsible for

00:33:05.360 --> 00:33:05.740
 your heart.

00:33:07.860 --> 00:33:08.640
 Jeremiah 17

00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:09.360
 9 says,

00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:09.940
 the heart is

00:33:09.940 --> 00:33:10.660
 deceitful above

00:33:10.660 --> 00:33:11.799
 all else and

00:33:11.799 --> 00:33:12.620
 desperately sick.

00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:13.160
 Who can

00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:13.720
 understand it?

00:33:13.819 --> 00:33:15.160
 Jeremiah 17

00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:16.880
 10 says,

00:33:17.900 --> 00:33:18.339
 the heart,

00:33:18.740 --> 00:33:19.039
 the Lord

00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:19.400
 knows the

00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:19.600
 heart.

00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:21.860
 And so

00:33:21.860 --> 00:33:22.620
 Jesus is not

00:33:22.620 --> 00:33:23.120
 painting a

00:33:23.120 --> 00:33:23.940
 flattering picture

00:33:23.940 --> 00:33:25.620
 of our sinful

00:33:25.620 --> 00:33:26.100
 condition,

00:33:26.259 --> 00:33:26.460
 is he?

00:33:26.839 --> 00:33:27.440
 He's getting

00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:28.319
 at the

00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:29.039
 depravity of

00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:29.339
 sin.

00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:30.360
 It's at the

00:33:30.360 --> 00:33:30.860
 root,

00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:31.600
 brothers and

00:33:31.600 --> 00:33:31.900
 sisters.

00:33:31.900 --> 00:33:32.480
 It's in

00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:33.259
 our hearts.

00:33:34.259 --> 00:33:34.920
 We have an

00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:35.759
 evil factory

00:33:35.759 --> 00:33:37.180
 dwelling within.

00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:40.920
 So Jesus

00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:41.620
 is exposing

00:33:41.620 --> 00:33:42.300
 our hearts.

00:33:43.580 --> 00:33:44.320
 We have an

00:33:44.320 --> 00:33:45.180
 evil producing

00:33:45.180 --> 00:33:46.080
 control center

00:33:46.080 --> 00:33:47.820
 that we live

00:33:47.820 --> 00:33:48.259
 out of.

00:33:49.480 --> 00:33:50.420
 The question

00:33:50.420 --> 00:33:50.780
 is,

00:33:51.300 --> 00:33:52.000
 is it

00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:52.300
 true?

00:33:53.220 --> 00:33:53.500
 Do you know

00:33:53.500 --> 00:33:53.840
 how you can

00:33:53.840 --> 00:33:54.280
 test it?

00:33:57.560 --> 00:33:58.440
 Has anybody

00:33:58.440 --> 00:33:59.220
 committed sexual

00:33:59.220 --> 00:33:59.860
 immorality in

00:33:59.860 --> 00:34:00.100
 the room?

00:34:00.100 --> 00:34:00.400
 No.

00:34:01.900 --> 00:34:03.620
 I have.

00:34:05.060 --> 00:34:05.660
 Guilty.

00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:07.220
 It's true.

00:34:09.200 --> 00:34:09.940
 Has anybody

00:34:09.940 --> 00:34:10.360
 stolen?

00:34:13.059 --> 00:34:13.880
 Has anybody

00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:14.380
 coveted?

00:34:15.420 --> 00:34:16.280
 Just go down

00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:16.820
 the list and

00:34:16.820 --> 00:34:17.940
 ask, has it

00:34:17.940 --> 00:34:18.360
 come out of

00:34:18.360 --> 00:34:18.780
 your heart?

00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:21.440
 Yes.

00:34:23.680 --> 00:34:24.680
 The evil that

00:34:24.680 --> 00:34:25.420
 defiles us,

00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:26.119
 verse 23,

00:34:26.720 --> 00:34:27.820
 is coming from

00:34:27.820 --> 00:34:28.880
 inside of us.

00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:30.700
 we defile

00:34:30.700 --> 00:34:31.420
 ourselves

00:34:31.420 --> 00:34:33.000
 because of the

00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:33.519
 evil in our

00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:33.940
 hearts.

00:34:33.940 --> 00:34:34.700
 Here's what this

00:34:34.700 --> 00:34:35.059
 means.

00:34:35.940 --> 00:34:36.380
 It means you

00:34:36.380 --> 00:34:37.260
 need to decide

00:34:37.260 --> 00:34:38.280
 if these words

00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:39.220
 of Jesus are

00:34:39.220 --> 00:34:40.059
 true or not.

00:34:41.220 --> 00:34:42.079
 Either our

00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:43.400
 hearts are

00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:44.579
 producing evil

00:34:44.579 --> 00:34:45.160
 and that they

00:34:45.160 --> 00:34:46.400
 are defiling us

00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:47.519
 or your heart

00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:48.539
 doesn't do that.

00:34:48.539 --> 00:34:51.179
 if your heart

00:34:51.179 --> 00:34:52.059
 is producing

00:34:52.059 --> 00:34:52.639
 evils,

00:34:53.500 --> 00:34:54.500
 you are

00:34:54.500 --> 00:34:55.480
 responsible for

00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:56.159
 those evils.

00:34:57.079 --> 00:34:57.539
 You can't

00:34:57.539 --> 00:34:57.920
 blame the

00:34:57.920 --> 00:34:58.159
 devil.

00:34:58.519 --> 00:34:58.940
 You can't

00:34:58.940 --> 00:34:59.340
 blame the

00:34:59.340 --> 00:34:59.679
 world.

00:34:59.860 --> 00:35:00.219
 You can't

00:35:00.219 --> 00:35:00.779
 blame someone

00:35:00.779 --> 00:35:01.199
 else for

00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:01.820
 sinning against

00:35:01.820 --> 00:35:02.159
 you.

00:35:02.579 --> 00:35:03.440
 You are

00:35:03.440 --> 00:35:04.840
 responsible

00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:06.480
 for what is

00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:07.440
 defiling you

00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:08.699
 and it's

00:35:08.699 --> 00:35:09.139
 coming from

00:35:09.139 --> 00:35:09.880
 within you.

00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:10.380
 So,

00:35:10.739 --> 00:35:11.639
 why do we

00:35:11.639 --> 00:35:11.940
 sin?

00:35:11.940 --> 00:35:12.239
 Why do we

00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:12.259
 sin?

00:35:14.420 --> 00:35:15.119
 Our own

00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:15.639
 hearts

00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:17.679
 cause us

00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:18.079
 to sin.

00:35:19.659 --> 00:35:20.259
 And yet,

00:35:21.019 --> 00:35:22.639
 till sin

00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:23.119
 be bitter,

00:35:24.699 --> 00:35:25.359
 Christ will

00:35:25.359 --> 00:35:25.839
 not be

00:35:25.839 --> 00:35:26.159
 sweet.

00:35:28.319 --> 00:35:28.899
 What's the

00:35:28.899 --> 00:35:29.319
 point of this

00:35:29.319 --> 00:35:29.679
 passage?

00:35:29.859 --> 00:35:30.099
 Well, the

00:35:30.099 --> 00:35:30.440
 point is

00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:30.739
 simple.

00:35:31.219 --> 00:35:31.619
 The evil

00:35:31.619 --> 00:35:32.139
 within

00:35:32.139 --> 00:35:33.299
 defiles each

00:35:33.299 --> 00:35:33.599
 of us.

00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:34.000
 That's the

00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:34.279
 point.

00:35:35.059 --> 00:35:35.379
 It's not

00:35:35.379 --> 00:35:35.940
 outside of

00:35:35.940 --> 00:35:36.239
 us, it's

00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:36.839
 inside of

00:35:36.839 --> 00:35:36.980
 us.

00:35:37.179 --> 00:35:37.500
 And don't

00:35:37.500 --> 00:35:37.960
 forget who's

00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:38.440
 saying this.

00:35:39.519 --> 00:35:40.000
 Remember the

00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:40.559
 Gospel of

00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:41.859
 Mark, what

00:35:41.859 --> 00:35:42.519
 it says about

00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:43.899
 Jesus, that

00:35:43.899 --> 00:35:44.679
 Jesus Christ

00:35:44.679 --> 00:35:45.179
 is the Son

00:35:45.179 --> 00:35:46.259
 of God, that

00:35:46.259 --> 00:35:46.819
 Jesus Christ

00:35:46.819 --> 00:35:47.259
 is the Son

00:35:47.259 --> 00:35:47.599
 of Man.

00:35:47.879 --> 00:35:48.299
 That Jesus

00:35:48.299 --> 00:35:48.819
 Christ has

00:35:48.819 --> 00:35:49.259
 the authority

00:35:49.259 --> 00:35:49.659
 to forgive

00:35:49.659 --> 00:35:50.000
 sin.

00:35:50.279 --> 00:35:50.759
 That Jesus

00:35:50.759 --> 00:35:51.259
 Christ has

00:35:51.259 --> 00:35:52.079
 authority over

00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:53.099
 nature, Mark

00:35:53.099 --> 00:35:53.359
 4.

00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:54.039
 That Jesus

00:35:54.039 --> 00:35:54.579
 Christ has

00:35:54.579 --> 00:35:55.219
 authority over

00:35:55.219 --> 00:35:56.019
 demons, Mark

00:35:56.019 --> 00:35:56.339
 5.

00:35:56.519 --> 00:35:57.019
 That Jesus

00:35:57.019 --> 00:35:57.519
 Christ has

00:35:57.519 --> 00:35:58.239
 authority over

00:35:58.239 --> 00:35:59.079
 disease, Mark

00:35:59.079 --> 00:35:59.399
 5.

00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:00.239
 Jesus Christ

00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:00.960
 has even

00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:01.919
 authority over

00:36:01.919 --> 00:36:02.319
 death.

00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:03.159
 The all

00:36:03.159 --> 00:36:03.899
 authoritative

00:36:03.899 --> 00:36:04.759
 King of the

00:36:04.759 --> 00:36:05.519
 universe is

00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:06.960
 clearly declaring

00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:08.059
 to us this

00:36:08.059 --> 00:36:08.940
 morning that

00:36:08.940 --> 00:36:09.579
 the evil that

00:36:09.579 --> 00:36:10.259
 defiles us

00:36:10.259 --> 00:36:10.779
 doesn't come

00:36:10.779 --> 00:36:11.399
 from outside

00:36:11.399 --> 00:36:13.579
 of us, it

00:36:13.579 --> 00:36:14.019
 comes from

00:36:14.019 --> 00:36:15.079
 inside of us.

00:36:15.619 --> 00:36:16.000
 And we're

00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:16.859
 responsible for

00:36:16.860 --> 00:36:17.039
 it.

00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:18.059
 Till sin be

00:36:18.059 --> 00:36:18.720
 bitter, Christ

00:36:18.720 --> 00:36:19.260
 will not be

00:36:19.260 --> 00:36:19.559
 sweet.

00:36:20.539 --> 00:36:20.820
 You want

00:36:20.820 --> 00:36:21.120
 some good

00:36:21.120 --> 00:36:21.380
 news?

00:36:24.380 --> 00:36:25.160
 The very

00:36:25.160 --> 00:36:25.539
 one who

00:36:25.539 --> 00:36:26.579
 exposes our

00:36:26.579 --> 00:36:27.820
 defiled hearts

00:36:27.820 --> 00:36:30.400
 is the only

00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:31.320
 one who can

00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:32.840
 purify our

00:36:32.840 --> 00:36:33.579
 defiled hearts.

00:36:33.740 --> 00:36:34.039
 Isn't that

00:36:34.039 --> 00:36:34.460
 good news?

00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:36.920
 He's the only

00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:37.240
 one.

00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:40.839
 making,

00:36:40.979 --> 00:36:41.959
 obeying rules

00:36:41.959 --> 00:36:45.959
 that's not

00:36:45.959 --> 00:36:46.399
 going to block

00:36:46.399 --> 00:36:47.179
 the defilement

00:36:47.179 --> 00:36:49.139
 because the

00:36:49.139 --> 00:36:49.719
 defilement

00:36:49.719 --> 00:36:50.219
 comes from

00:36:50.219 --> 00:36:50.599
 within.

00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:52.899
 Making,

00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:53.939
 obeying rules

00:36:53.939 --> 00:36:54.739
 cannot

00:36:54.739 --> 00:36:56.219
 cleanse your

00:36:56.219 --> 00:36:56.799
 heart.

00:36:57.759 --> 00:36:58.739
 Only Jesus

00:36:58.739 --> 00:36:59.799
 can purify

00:36:59.799 --> 00:37:00.359
 your heart.

00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:03.860
 who can

00:37:03.860 --> 00:37:04.539
 forgive sins

00:37:04.539 --> 00:37:05.000
 but God

00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:05.300
 alone.

00:37:06.900 --> 00:37:07.500
 As an

00:37:07.500 --> 00:37:08.000
 example of

00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:08.260
 this, do

00:37:08.260 --> 00:37:08.440
 you remember

00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:09.660
 when King

00:37:09.660 --> 00:37:10.120
 David in

00:37:10.120 --> 00:37:10.740
 2 Samuel,

00:37:10.940 --> 00:37:11.380
 remember when

00:37:11.380 --> 00:37:11.880
 he sinned,

00:37:12.780 --> 00:37:13.000
 he had

00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:14.019
 committed adultery

00:37:14.019 --> 00:37:14.720
 with Bathsheba,

00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:15.599
 and then he

00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:16.440
 killed her

00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:17.140
 husband Uriah,

00:37:17.539 --> 00:37:18.099
 murdered him

00:37:18.099 --> 00:37:18.700
 to cover it

00:37:18.700 --> 00:37:18.860
 up.

00:37:19.860 --> 00:37:20.380
 And then in

00:37:20.380 --> 00:37:21.099
 Psalm 51,

00:37:21.780 --> 00:37:22.620
 David confesses

00:37:22.620 --> 00:37:22.780
 it.

00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:24.900
 And he uses

00:37:24.900 --> 00:37:25.420
 this kind of

00:37:25.420 --> 00:37:25.820
 language,

00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:27.039
 cleanse me,

00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:29.740
 wash me with

00:37:29.739 --> 00:37:31.619
 and make me

00:37:31.619 --> 00:37:32.099
 clean,

00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:34.759
 create in me

00:37:34.759 --> 00:37:35.259
 a clean

00:37:35.259 --> 00:37:35.739
 heart.

00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:38.119
 Where we go,

00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:38.679
 when we

00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:39.500
 acknowledge

00:37:39.500 --> 00:37:41.519
 the defiling

00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:42.919
 evil in our

00:37:42.919 --> 00:37:43.339
 hearts,

00:37:43.500 --> 00:37:44.359
 we run

00:37:44.359 --> 00:37:45.939
 to God

00:37:45.939 --> 00:37:46.959
 and seek

00:37:46.959 --> 00:37:47.619
 cleansing

00:37:47.619 --> 00:37:49.059
 from Him.

00:37:49.319 --> 00:37:49.759
 Do you want

00:37:49.759 --> 00:37:50.219
 to be cleansed

00:37:50.219 --> 00:37:50.519
 from your

00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:50.779
 evil?

00:37:52.899 --> 00:37:53.619
 Just as

00:37:53.619 --> 00:37:54.439
 David cried

00:37:54.439 --> 00:37:55.139
 out to God,

00:37:55.219 --> 00:37:55.899
 we cry out

00:37:55.899 --> 00:37:56.319
 to our

00:37:56.319 --> 00:37:56.779
 Emmanuel.

00:37:57.979 --> 00:37:58.519
 There is a

00:37:58.519 --> 00:37:59.099
 fountain filled

00:37:59.099 --> 00:38:00.159
 with blood

00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:01.559
 drawn from

00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:02.319
 Emmanuel's

00:38:02.319 --> 00:38:02.619
 veins,

00:38:02.819 --> 00:38:03.239
 and sinners

00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:03.980
 plunged beneath

00:38:03.980 --> 00:38:04.579
 that flood

00:38:04.579 --> 00:38:05.839
 lose all

00:38:05.839 --> 00:38:06.400
 their guilty

00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:06.960
 sayings.

00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:08.319
 What can

00:38:08.319 --> 00:38:08.819
 wash me

00:38:08.819 --> 00:38:10.199
 from my

00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:10.719
 sin?

00:38:10.900 --> 00:38:11.279
 Nothing but

00:38:11.279 --> 00:38:11.539
 the blood

00:38:11.539 --> 00:38:11.980
 of Jesus.

00:38:13.980 --> 00:38:14.659
 God's

00:38:14.659 --> 00:38:15.460
 cleansing

00:38:15.460 --> 00:38:16.440
 grace

00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:18.860
 is greater

00:38:18.860 --> 00:38:20.259
 than the

00:38:20.259 --> 00:38:20.839
 evil

00:38:20.839 --> 00:38:22.360
 that defiles

00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:23.500
 our hearts.

00:38:24.839 --> 00:38:25.259
 Amen.

00:38:25.259 --> 00:38:25.480
 Amen.

00:38:25.480 --> 00:38:28.599
 So this

00:38:28.599 --> 00:38:28.900
 morning,

00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:29.460
 if you've

00:38:29.460 --> 00:38:30.320
 been convinced

00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:30.880
 by these

00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:31.300
 words of

00:38:31.300 --> 00:38:31.639
 Jesus,

00:38:33.139 --> 00:38:33.980
 that the

00:38:33.980 --> 00:38:35.099
 evil that

00:38:35.099 --> 00:38:35.380
 you need to

00:38:35.380 --> 00:38:35.719
 be most

00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:36.280
 concerned about

00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:36.679
 is not

00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:37.320
 outside of

00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:37.420
 you,

00:38:37.539 --> 00:38:38.159
 but inside

00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:38.719
 of you,

00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:40.659
 here are

00:38:40.659 --> 00:38:41.659
 three quick

00:38:41.659 --> 00:38:42.219
 applications.

00:38:44.219 --> 00:38:44.780
 Application

00:38:44.780 --> 00:38:45.179
 one.

00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:47.260
 You don't

00:38:47.260 --> 00:38:47.679
 need your

00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:48.579
 hands washed.

00:38:49.340 --> 00:38:50.139
 You need

00:38:50.139 --> 00:38:50.639
 your heart

00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:51.119
 washed.

00:38:52.059 --> 00:38:53.179
 Again and

00:38:53.179 --> 00:38:53.480
 again.

00:38:54.839 --> 00:38:55.519
 We know

00:38:55.519 --> 00:38:56.419
 that if

00:38:56.419 --> 00:38:56.699
 you're a

00:38:56.699 --> 00:38:57.039
 believer in

00:38:57.039 --> 00:38:57.239
 the room,

00:38:57.319 --> 00:38:57.460
 you're

00:38:57.460 --> 00:38:58.019
 simultaneously

00:38:58.019 --> 00:38:59.059
 justified in

00:38:59.059 --> 00:38:59.500
 right standing

00:38:59.500 --> 00:38:59.960
 with God,

00:39:00.279 --> 00:39:00.659
 and yet you

00:39:00.659 --> 00:39:01.319
 still sin,

00:39:02.339 --> 00:39:03.059
 which means

00:39:03.059 --> 00:39:03.779
 you're going

00:39:03.779 --> 00:39:04.480
 to need

00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:05.519
 cleansing

00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:06.359
 again and

00:39:06.359 --> 00:39:06.739
 again and

00:39:06.739 --> 00:39:06.980
 again.

00:39:07.659 --> 00:39:08.139
 That's why

00:39:08.139 --> 00:39:08.899
 1 John 1

00:39:08.899 --> 00:39:09.579
 9 says,

00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:10.199
 if we

00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:10.960
 confess our

00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:11.339
 sins,

00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:12.079
 He is

00:39:12.079 --> 00:39:12.799
 faithful and

00:39:12.799 --> 00:39:13.259
 just to

00:39:13.259 --> 00:39:13.960
 forgive our

00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:14.879
 sins and

00:39:14.879 --> 00:39:17.119
 cleanse us

00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:18.419
 from all

00:39:18.419 --> 00:39:19.219
 unrighteousness.

00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:21.239
 Christian,

00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:22.739
 you need

00:39:22.739 --> 00:39:23.839
 your heart

00:39:23.839 --> 00:39:24.939
 cleansed.

00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:25.500
 Again and

00:39:25.500 --> 00:39:25.819
 again.

00:39:26.379 --> 00:39:27.099
 Because it's

00:39:27.099 --> 00:39:27.739
 generating

00:39:27.739 --> 00:39:28.279
 evils.

00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:29.500
 If you're

00:39:29.500 --> 00:39:29.899
 not a

00:39:29.899 --> 00:39:30.279
 Christian,

00:39:30.879 --> 00:39:31.599
 you just

00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:31.919
 need to

00:39:31.919 --> 00:39:32.379
 start by

00:39:32.379 --> 00:39:33.399
 asking Jesus

00:39:33.399 --> 00:39:34.759
 to wash

00:39:34.759 --> 00:39:35.379
 you white

00:39:35.379 --> 00:39:36.139
 as snow.

00:39:36.879 --> 00:39:37.239
 He can

00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:37.500
 and He

00:39:37.500 --> 00:39:37.779
 will.

00:39:39.619 --> 00:39:40.000
 Until sin

00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:40.339
 be bitter,

00:39:40.439 --> 00:39:40.799
 Christ will

00:39:40.799 --> 00:39:41.119
 not be

00:39:41.119 --> 00:39:41.399
 sweet.

00:39:43.279 --> 00:39:43.779
 Point two.

00:39:46.299 --> 00:39:46.779
 Sanctification

00:39:46.779 --> 00:39:47.559
 is the

00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:48.099
 hard work

00:39:48.099 --> 00:39:48.439
 of heart

00:39:48.439 --> 00:39:48.719
 work.

00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:52.039
 Jesus

00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:52.659
 goes right

00:39:52.659 --> 00:39:52.959
 to the

00:39:52.959 --> 00:39:53.439
 heart and

00:39:53.439 --> 00:39:53.879
 so must

00:39:53.879 --> 00:39:54.119
 we.

00:39:55.119 --> 00:39:55.719
 As we

00:39:55.719 --> 00:39:56.119
 want to

00:39:56.119 --> 00:39:56.539
 become less

00:39:56.539 --> 00:39:56.799
 and less

00:39:56.799 --> 00:39:57.779
 ruled by

00:39:57.779 --> 00:39:58.659
 sin and

00:39:58.659 --> 00:39:59.000
 more and

00:39:59.000 --> 00:39:59.619
 more like

00:39:59.619 --> 00:40:00.000
 Jesus,

00:40:00.939 --> 00:40:01.500
 we've got to

00:40:01.500 --> 00:40:01.979
 pay attention

00:40:01.979 --> 00:40:02.399
 to our

00:40:02.399 --> 00:40:02.839
 hearts.

00:40:05.659 --> 00:40:06.459
 Paul Tripp

00:40:06.459 --> 00:40:07.679
 talks about

00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:08.459
 how a

00:40:08.459 --> 00:40:09.239
 Christian grows

00:40:09.239 --> 00:40:09.519
 and he

00:40:09.519 --> 00:40:11.059
 compares a

00:40:11.059 --> 00:40:12.000
 root of a

00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:12.459
 tree and

00:40:12.459 --> 00:40:13.419
 its fruit to

00:40:13.419 --> 00:40:14.679
 the heart and

00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:15.539
 the actions of

00:40:15.539 --> 00:40:15.979
 a Christian.

00:40:16.139 --> 00:40:16.419
 You've got a

00:40:16.419 --> 00:40:16.799
 bad root,

00:40:16.879 --> 00:40:17.279
 you've got bad

00:40:17.279 --> 00:40:17.519
 fruit.

00:40:17.639 --> 00:40:17.879
 You've got an

00:40:17.879 --> 00:40:18.359
 evil heart,

00:40:18.459 --> 00:40:18.719
 you'll have

00:40:18.719 --> 00:40:19.359
 evil actions.

00:40:19.759 --> 00:40:20.119
 And so what

00:40:20.119 --> 00:40:20.559
 we need to be

00:40:20.559 --> 00:40:21.079
 doing to

00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:21.679
 really grow

00:40:21.679 --> 00:40:22.519
 is tend to

00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:23.199
 the root,

00:40:23.320 --> 00:40:24.519
 the heart of

00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:25.199
 the situation.

00:40:27.559 --> 00:40:28.119
 Can I

00:40:28.119 --> 00:40:28.840
 challenge you

00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:29.259
 with something?

00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:29.679
 Because I

00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:30.019
 love you.

00:40:32.799 --> 00:40:33.980
 Psalm 139

00:40:33.980 --> 00:40:34.779
 verses 23

00:40:34.779 --> 00:40:35.500
 and 24

00:40:35.500 --> 00:40:37.900
 is a

00:40:37.900 --> 00:40:38.279
 psalm of

00:40:38.279 --> 00:40:38.920
 David.

00:40:40.259 --> 00:40:40.779
 Can I

00:40:40.779 --> 00:40:42.400
 encourage you

00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:43.139
 to pray that

00:40:43.139 --> 00:40:43.659
 to God?

00:40:46.259 --> 00:40:46.880
 Search me,

00:40:46.940 --> 00:40:47.159
 O God,

00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:47.659
 and know my

00:40:47.659 --> 00:40:47.980
 heart.

00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:49.739
 Try me and

00:40:49.739 --> 00:40:50.139
 know my

00:40:50.139 --> 00:40:51.599
 thoughts and

00:40:51.599 --> 00:40:51.959
 see if there

00:40:51.959 --> 00:40:52.259
 be any

00:40:52.259 --> 00:40:52.859
 grievous way

00:40:52.859 --> 00:40:53.279
 in me and

00:40:53.279 --> 00:40:53.839
 lead me in

00:40:53.839 --> 00:40:54.719
 the way

00:40:54.719 --> 00:40:55.279
 everlasting.

00:40:56.859 --> 00:40:57.479
 God might

00:40:57.479 --> 00:40:58.219
 show you that

00:40:58.219 --> 00:40:58.919
 you are lying.

00:41:00.059 --> 00:41:00.739
 This question

00:41:00.739 --> 00:41:01.799
 is, why are

00:41:01.799 --> 00:41:02.279
 you lying?

00:41:03.859 --> 00:41:04.519
 I was

00:41:04.519 --> 00:41:05.199
 praying this

00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:06.000
 and I got

00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:07.479
 exposed of a

00:41:07.479 --> 00:41:08.739
 fear that

00:41:08.739 --> 00:41:09.719
 tempts me to

00:41:09.719 --> 00:41:10.559
 speak a certain

00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:11.039
 way to

00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:11.379
 someone.

00:41:11.380 --> 00:41:11.480
 God?

00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:16.300
 Would you

00:41:16.300 --> 00:41:18.019
 ask your

00:41:18.019 --> 00:41:19.500
 God to

00:41:19.500 --> 00:41:20.460
 expose

00:41:20.460 --> 00:41:22.240
 the evils

00:41:22.240 --> 00:41:22.519
 in your

00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:24.720
 heart and

00:41:24.720 --> 00:41:26.360
 then ask

00:41:26.360 --> 00:41:26.960
 him to make

00:41:26.960 --> 00:41:27.440
 you white as

00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:27.680
 snow?

00:41:29.760 --> 00:41:30.500
 The third

00:41:30.500 --> 00:41:31.079
 application,

00:41:31.539 --> 00:41:31.980
 till sin be

00:41:31.980 --> 00:41:32.940
 bitter, Christ

00:41:32.940 --> 00:41:33.360
 will not be

00:41:33.360 --> 00:41:33.599
 sweet.

00:41:34.140 --> 00:41:34.660
 The third

00:41:34.660 --> 00:41:35.820
 application is

00:41:35.820 --> 00:41:36.160
 this.

00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:37.660
 Because you've

00:41:37.660 --> 00:41:38.240
 got an inner

00:41:38.240 --> 00:41:39.059
 Pharisee living

00:41:39.059 --> 00:41:39.519
 inside of

00:41:39.519 --> 00:41:39.659
 you.

00:41:43.659 --> 00:41:44.059
 Remember

00:41:44.059 --> 00:41:44.980
 these words

00:41:44.980 --> 00:41:45.539
 of Jesus.

00:41:47.860 --> 00:41:48.539
 Judge not

00:41:48.539 --> 00:41:48.980
 that you not

00:41:48.980 --> 00:41:49.519
 be judged.

00:41:50.639 --> 00:41:51.119
 For with the

00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:51.619
 judgment you

00:41:51.619 --> 00:41:52.239
 pronounce, you

00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:52.799
 will be judged.

00:41:52.940 --> 00:41:53.380
 And with the

00:41:53.380 --> 00:41:54.019
 measure that you

00:41:54.019 --> 00:41:54.699
 use, it will be

00:41:54.699 --> 00:41:55.440
 measured to you.

00:41:55.880 --> 00:41:56.539
 Why do you see

00:41:56.539 --> 00:41:57.179
 the speck that

00:41:57.179 --> 00:41:57.539
 is in your

00:41:57.539 --> 00:41:58.299
 brother's eye, but

00:41:58.299 --> 00:41:58.900
 do not notice

00:41:58.900 --> 00:41:59.500
 the log that

00:41:59.500 --> 00:41:59.900
 is in your

00:41:59.900 --> 00:42:00.279
 own eye?

00:42:00.759 --> 00:42:01.519
 Or how can

00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:01.940
 you say to

00:42:01.940 --> 00:42:02.279
 your brother,

00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:02.940
 let me take

00:42:02.940 --> 00:42:03.579
 the speck out

00:42:03.579 --> 00:42:04.599
 of your eye,

00:42:04.659 --> 00:42:05.279
 when there is

00:42:05.279 --> 00:42:05.980
 the log in

00:42:05.980 --> 00:42:06.719
 your own eye?

00:42:06.940 --> 00:42:07.840
 You hypocrite,

00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:08.640
 first take the

00:42:08.640 --> 00:42:09.160
 log out of

00:42:09.160 --> 00:42:09.820
 your own eye,

00:42:09.980 --> 00:42:10.700
 and then you

00:42:10.700 --> 00:42:11.940
 will see clearly

00:42:11.940 --> 00:42:12.539
 to take the

00:42:12.539 --> 00:42:13.100
 speck out of

00:42:13.100 --> 00:42:13.600
 your brother's

00:42:13.600 --> 00:42:13.740
 eye.

00:42:13.900 --> 00:42:14.760
 Just as a

00:42:14.760 --> 00:42:15.300
 word of

00:42:15.300 --> 00:42:15.920
 process.

00:42:17.120 --> 00:42:18.059
 First, be

00:42:18.059 --> 00:42:18.400
 doing the

00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:19.680
 hard work of

00:42:19.680 --> 00:42:20.400
 your own

00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:21.059
 heart work,

00:42:21.880 --> 00:42:23.400
 before volunteering

00:42:23.400 --> 00:42:24.620
 to do the

00:42:24.620 --> 00:42:25.200
 hard work of

00:42:25.200 --> 00:42:25.740
 heart work in

00:42:25.740 --> 00:42:26.400
 someone else.

00:42:27.700 --> 00:42:28.400
 The reason

00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:29.059
 why is it will

00:42:29.059 --> 00:42:29.860
 keep you humble

00:42:29.860 --> 00:42:30.760
 and make you

00:42:30.760 --> 00:42:33.019
 helpful, because

00:42:33.019 --> 00:42:33.640
 you'll be working

00:42:33.640 --> 00:42:34.480
 out of this, I

00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:35.280
 am in constant

00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:36.300
 need of God's

00:42:36.300 --> 00:42:37.519
 sanctifying grace.

00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:39.160
 And if I can

00:42:39.160 --> 00:42:39.660
 help you, I'd

00:42:39.660 --> 00:42:40.320
 be glad to, but

00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:40.800
 I've got to deal

00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:41.480
 with me first.

00:42:42.620 --> 00:42:43.200
 Until sin be

00:42:43.200 --> 00:42:43.700
 bitter, Christ

00:42:43.700 --> 00:42:44.180
 will not be

00:42:44.180 --> 00:42:44.400
 sweet.

00:42:46.660 --> 00:42:47.280
 Why do you

00:42:47.280 --> 00:42:47.500
 sin?

00:42:50.900 --> 00:42:51.539
 Jesus is

00:42:51.539 --> 00:42:52.160
 crystal clear.

00:42:53.820 --> 00:42:54.480
 All these

00:42:54.480 --> 00:42:57.019
 evils, they

00:42:57.019 --> 00:42:57.400
 come from

00:42:57.400 --> 00:42:58.519
 within, and

00:42:58.519 --> 00:42:59.180
 they defile a

00:42:59.180 --> 00:42:59.519
 person.

00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:01.800
 But the

00:43:01.800 --> 00:43:02.420
 very one who

00:43:02.420 --> 00:43:03.200
 exposes our

00:43:03.200 --> 00:43:04.180
 evil hearts is

00:43:04.180 --> 00:43:04.960
 the very one,

00:43:05.019 --> 00:43:05.800
 the only one,

00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:06.579
 who purifies

00:43:06.579 --> 00:43:07.079
 our hearts.

00:43:07.079 --> 00:43:07.500
 Isn't that

00:43:07.500 --> 00:43:08.000
 good news?

00:43:10.579 --> 00:43:11.340
 And as we

00:43:11.340 --> 00:43:12.099
 trust Him and

00:43:12.099 --> 00:43:12.619
 go to Him

00:43:12.619 --> 00:43:13.460
 daily for

00:43:13.460 --> 00:43:14.799
 fresh cleansing,

00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:16.119
 He slowly

00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.860
 changes our

00:43:16.860 --> 00:43:19.199
 hearts, purifies

00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:19.679
 our hearts.

00:43:19.860 --> 00:43:21.279
 Blessed are the

00:43:21.279 --> 00:43:21.900
 pure of heart,

00:43:22.059 --> 00:43:22.519
 for they will

00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:23.079
 see God.

00:43:24.699 --> 00:43:25.739
 And over time,

00:43:25.819 --> 00:43:26.239
 our lives

00:43:26.239 --> 00:43:26.719
 change.

00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:29.119
 And we

00:43:29.119 --> 00:43:29.719
 treasure Jesus

00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:30.079
 more.

00:43:31.099 --> 00:43:31.759
 Till sin be

00:43:31.759 --> 00:43:33.819
 bitter, Christ

00:43:33.819 --> 00:43:34.960
 will not be

00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:35.199
 sweet.

00:43:35.199 --> 00:43:36.500
 let's pray.

00:43:37.579 --> 00:43:38.199
 God in

00:43:38.199 --> 00:43:38.460
 heaven,

00:43:39.460 --> 00:43:40.500
 Father, would

00:43:40.500 --> 00:43:40.859
 you just

00:43:40.859 --> 00:43:41.460
 continue to

00:43:41.460 --> 00:43:42.480
 show us our

00:43:42.480 --> 00:43:43.379
 desperate need

00:43:43.379 --> 00:43:44.419
 for you because

00:43:44.419 --> 00:43:46.139
 our hearts are

00:43:46.139 --> 00:43:47.500
 desperately wicked.

00:43:49.119 --> 00:43:49.980
 Father, thank you

00:43:49.980 --> 00:43:52.219
 for filling us

00:43:52.219 --> 00:43:52.579
 with your

00:43:52.579 --> 00:43:53.279
 Spirit, for

00:43:53.279 --> 00:43:54.119
 indwelling us

00:43:54.119 --> 00:43:54.480
 with your

00:43:54.480 --> 00:43:55.139
 Spirit, for

00:43:55.139 --> 00:43:56.000
 giving us a

00:43:56.000 --> 00:43:56.819
 new affection

00:43:56.819 --> 00:43:58.500
 by your

00:43:58.500 --> 00:43:59.480
 Spirit's power.

00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:01.599
 God, would

00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:02.240
 you make us

00:44:02.240 --> 00:44:03.159
 more and more

00:44:03.159 --> 00:44:03.820
 like Jesus

00:44:03.820 --> 00:44:05.900
 and less and

00:44:05.900 --> 00:44:06.800
 less ruled by

00:44:06.800 --> 00:44:07.340
 these evil

00:44:07.340 --> 00:44:07.820
 desires.

00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:09.539
 We look

00:44:09.539 --> 00:44:10.000
 forward to

00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:10.460
 the day

00:44:10.460 --> 00:44:12.780
 when you

00:44:12.780 --> 00:44:13.920
 purify us

00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:14.599
 completely.

00:44:15.539 --> 00:44:16.219
 In Jesus'

00:44:16.420 --> 00:44:16.619
 name,

00:44:17.199 --> 00:44:17.460
