WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.980 Please open up your Bibles to Matthew chapter 18. 00:00:02.980 --> 00:00:04.660 If you don't have a Bible, please raise your hand. 00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:07.960 We'd love to give you a copy of it that you can use while you're here and take home with you. 00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:10.939 For those of you who don't know me, my name is Sean, 00:00:11.099 --> 00:00:13.759 and I'm one of the pastors of Trinity Cambridge Church, 00:00:14.019 --> 00:00:18.100 and it's my great joy and privilege to preach God's Word to you. 00:00:19.219 --> 00:00:23.000 This morning, we've been going through the Gospel of Matthew 00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:26.400 for over a year. 00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:30.419 Now, in chapter 18, verses 10 to 20, 00:00:31.159 --> 00:00:36.140 let me pray for the reading and preaching of God's Word. 00:00:45.739 --> 00:00:49.420 Heavenly Father, Your Word is living and active. 00:00:49.420 --> 00:01:00.840 So, Lord, I ask that Your Word would pierce through the division of bone and marrow, 00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:07.799 that we would be cut to the heart by Your Word, 00:01:07.900 --> 00:01:10.480 Your message would be convicted and comforted, 00:01:10.520 --> 00:01:12.420 that we would be reminded 00:01:12.420 --> 00:01:17.780 that as we remember Your love shown to us in Christ, 00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:26.879 that You would dwell more and more richly and fully by Your Holy Spirit in us, 00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:35.900 that we too might become Christ-like 00:01:35.900 --> 00:01:39.300 in seeking out lost sheep, 00:01:40.420 --> 00:01:45.080 pursuing one another in the body of Christ. 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:51.820 Lord, expand our vision for the church, 00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:56.460 grow and deepen our love for the church, 00:01:56.980 --> 00:02:00.780 all for Your glory, God. 00:02:00.780 --> 00:02:05.680 Lord, in Jesus' name we pray. 00:02:06.180 --> 00:02:06.500 Amen. 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.039 Please stand, if you are able, 00:02:09.500 --> 00:02:13.159 so that we can honor God together as we read from His Word. 00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:18.420 Matthew 18, 10 to 20. 00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.719 See that you do not despise one of these little ones, 00:02:24.460 --> 00:02:25.960 for I tell you that in heaven 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:30.099 their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. 00:02:31.540 --> 00:02:32.580 What do you think? 00:02:32.580 --> 00:02:35.219 If a man has a hundred sheep 00:02:35.219 --> 00:02:37.500 and one of them has gone astray, 00:02:38.440 --> 00:02:40.700 does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains 00:02:40.700 --> 00:02:43.620 and go in search of the one that went astray? 00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:46.600 And if he finds it, 00:02:47.180 --> 00:02:48.580 truly, I say to you, 00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:52.120 he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine 00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:53.140 that never went astray. 00:02:53.139 --> 00:02:57.759 So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven 00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.719 that one of these little ones should perish. 00:03:02.359 --> 00:03:04.219 If your brother sins against you, 00:03:04.339 --> 00:03:07.019 go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. 00:03:07.739 --> 00:03:09.059 If he listens to you, 00:03:09.139 --> 00:03:10.219 you have gained your brother. 00:03:11.060 --> 00:03:12.319 But if he does not listen, 00:03:12.579 --> 00:03:14.379 take one or two others along with you 00:03:14.379 --> 00:03:16.079 that every charge may be established 00:03:16.079 --> 00:03:17.859 by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 00:03:17.860 --> 00:03:21.000 If he refuses to listen to them, 00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:22.400 tell it to the church. 00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:25.840 And if he refuses to listen even to the church, 00:03:26.160 --> 00:03:29.280 let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. 00:03:30.660 --> 00:03:31.860 Truly, I say to you, 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.600 whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.340 and whatever you lose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 00:03:39.820 --> 00:03:40.980 Again, I say to you, 00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:44.000 if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, 00:03:44.100 --> 00:03:46.260 it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 00:03:46.259 --> 00:03:49.579 For where two or three are gathered in my name, 00:03:50.060 --> 00:03:51.599 there am I among them. 00:03:52.299 --> 00:03:54.280 This is God's holy and authoritative word. 00:03:54.359 --> 00:03:54.979 Please be seated. 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.359 I don't mean any offense to people from the south here, 00:04:02.519 --> 00:04:06.419 but a popular stereotype about the deep south 00:04:06.419 --> 00:04:08.019 is that down there, 00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.599 everyone knows everyone's business. 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.180 In the worst case, 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.399 this is because of gossips and busybodies 00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:20.079 who meddle in other people's affairs, 00:04:20.659 --> 00:04:22.399 but in the best case, 00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.480 it's because of a strong sense of communal responsibility 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:26.579 and neighborliness. 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:30.079 In contrast, 00:04:31.100 --> 00:04:33.779 a popular stereotype about New England 00:04:33.779 --> 00:04:36.339 is that up here, 00:04:36.459 --> 00:04:37.800 the prevailing attitude is, 00:04:37.980 --> 00:04:39.259 it's none of my business. 00:04:39.259 --> 00:04:44.420 There's a strong sense of individual autonomy 00:04:44.420 --> 00:04:47.219 and expression of personalities 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:49.860 and personal boundaries, 00:04:50.300 --> 00:04:53.360 and people are encouraged to mind their own business. 00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.039 There's a biblical precedent for this idea 00:04:59.039 --> 00:05:00.860 of, oh, it's none of my business. 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.399 Proverbs 25, 16, 17 says this, 00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:05.579 if you have found honey, 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:07.659 eat only enough for you, 00:05:08.259 --> 00:05:11.039 lest you have your fill of it and vomit it. 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.699 Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor's house, 00:05:15.379 --> 00:05:18.639 lest he have his fill of you and hate you. 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.179 Note the parallel between fill of honey 00:05:22.179 --> 00:05:24.299 and fill of you, right? 00:05:24.359 --> 00:05:26.939 The idea is be considerate of your neighbor. 00:05:27.479 --> 00:05:29.839 Don't presume upon your neighbor's hospitality. 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:31.839 Allow for some space. 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.159 Even if your neighbor really likes you, 00:05:34.479 --> 00:05:36.239 there's such a thing as having too much 00:05:36.239 --> 00:05:37.560 of something that is good, 00:05:38.259 --> 00:05:40.139 like eating too much honey and vomiting. 00:05:41.799 --> 00:05:43.379 Just as you can have a fill of honey, 00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:45.279 you can have a fill of yourself. 00:05:45.419 --> 00:05:46.339 They can have a fill of you. 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:48.799 And this is what the English proverb, 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:50.899 good fences make good neighbors, means. 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.259 It doesn't mean that you shouldn't be a friendly neighbor, 00:05:53.539 --> 00:05:54.899 but it means that you should respect 00:05:54.899 --> 00:05:56.339 your neighbor's personal space. 00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:59.399 There's also Proverbs 26, 17, 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:01.739 whoever meddles in a quarrel, not his own, 00:06:01.819 --> 00:06:04.359 is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears. 00:06:05.479 --> 00:06:08.959 If it's not your fight, don't meddle in it. 00:06:09.219 --> 00:06:10.759 Don't insert yourself into it, 00:06:10.779 --> 00:06:12.699 because like a passing dog, 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:14.439 just passing by casually, 00:06:14.539 --> 00:06:15.699 and if you grab it by the ear, 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:17.599 it will surely turn on you and try to bite you. 00:06:18.819 --> 00:06:20.620 So there is some biblical precedence. 00:06:20.719 --> 00:06:24.120 I don't want to just dismiss it altogether, 00:06:24.219 --> 00:06:25.739 that kind of attitude, mind your own business. 00:06:25.740 --> 00:06:29.340 There's some truth to the idea of working hard 00:06:29.340 --> 00:06:30.300 and keeping your head down 00:06:30.300 --> 00:06:31.439 and minding your own affairs 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:32.680 that is good and godly. 00:06:33.860 --> 00:06:34.900 With that said, 00:06:35.500 --> 00:06:37.060 that attitude, none of my business, 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.800 is not always a commendable attitude. 00:06:41.819 --> 00:06:43.980 Sometimes it's none of my business 00:06:43.980 --> 00:06:46.120 is not an expression of humility 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:47.460 toward your neighbor. 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:49.360 It's not an expression of consideration 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:51.040 of your neighbors. 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:53.280 Rather, sometimes it's an expression 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.699 of selfish individualism, apathy, 00:06:57.479 --> 00:07:00.259 and lack of concern for our neighbors 00:07:00.259 --> 00:07:02.019 that must be overcome. 00:07:03.899 --> 00:07:05.899 That's the point of our passage this morning. 00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:09.079 When it comes to relationships within the church, 00:07:10.039 --> 00:07:11.239 the family of God, 00:07:11.919 --> 00:07:14.419 we ought to care for one another 00:07:14.419 --> 00:07:16.939 and be accountable to one another. 00:07:17.699 --> 00:07:19.439 When a brother or sister in Christ 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.439 is sinning and not repenting, 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:24.139 when they are straying from the path of God 00:07:24.139 --> 00:07:25.360 and from the truth of God, 00:07:25.420 --> 00:07:26.920 it is our responsibility 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.219 to pursue our straying brother or sister. 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:32.339 That's the main point of this passage. 00:07:33.019 --> 00:07:34.600 The parable of the lost sheep 00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:35.779 in verses 10 to 14 00:07:35.779 --> 00:07:37.740 tell us about the preciousness 00:07:37.740 --> 00:07:39.139 of the one little one. 00:07:40.159 --> 00:07:41.519 And verses 15 to 20 00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:43.379 then tell us about the pursuit 00:07:43.379 --> 00:07:45.180 of that one little one. 00:07:45.180 --> 00:07:48.540 Jesus says in verse 10, 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:50.459 See that you do not despise 00:07:50.459 --> 00:07:52.060 one of these little ones. 00:07:52.699 --> 00:07:54.139 For I tell you that in heaven 00:07:54.139 --> 00:07:55.959 their angels always see the face 00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:57.160 of my Father who is in heaven. 00:07:58.019 --> 00:08:00.160 Jesus mentions the little ones 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:01.460 twice in our passage. 00:08:01.960 --> 00:08:03.240 He's continuing the theme 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:04.899 of the previous passage 00:08:04.899 --> 00:08:06.120 at the beginning of this chapter. 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:08.160 Jesus said in verses 5 to 6, 00:08:08.259 --> 00:08:10.980 Whoever receives one such child 00:08:10.980 --> 00:08:13.120 in my name receives me. 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.259 But whoever causes one of these little ones 00:08:16.259 --> 00:08:17.540 who believe in me to sin, 00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:19.019 it will be better for him 00:08:19.019 --> 00:08:20.340 to have a great millstone 00:08:20.340 --> 00:08:21.579 fastened around his neck 00:08:21.579 --> 00:08:22.500 and to be drowned 00:08:22.500 --> 00:08:23.660 in the depth of the sea. 00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:26.300 Despising the little ones 00:08:26.300 --> 00:08:27.019 is the opposite 00:08:27.019 --> 00:08:29.360 of receiving those little ones. 00:08:30.139 --> 00:08:32.159 Those who despise the little ones 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:33.379 are likely to cause 00:08:33.379 --> 00:08:34.799 those little ones to sin 00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:36.820 because they don't really care 00:08:36.820 --> 00:08:37.820 about what happens to them. 00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:39.720 They're little ones. 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:41.180 They're not important. 00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:42.899 So who cares? 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.259 To despise the little ones 00:08:46.259 --> 00:08:48.460 is to disdain and scorn them, 00:08:48.899 --> 00:08:50.419 to treat them with contempt. 00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:52.879 Paul exhorts Timothy 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:53.980 in 1 Timothy 4.12, 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:55.940 Let no one despise you 00:08:55.940 --> 00:08:56.840 for your youth. 00:08:56.899 --> 00:08:57.639 That's the same word. 00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:59.259 But set the believers 00:08:59.259 --> 00:09:00.960 an example in speech, 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:01.539 in conduct, 00:09:01.659 --> 00:09:02.039 in love, 00:09:02.139 --> 00:09:02.539 in faith, 00:09:02.620 --> 00:09:03.019 in purity. 00:09:03.700 --> 00:09:04.879 Paul is telling Timothy, 00:09:05.379 --> 00:09:05.679 Timothy, 00:09:05.820 --> 00:09:07.139 because you're a young buck, 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:08.120 people might disrespect 00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:09.720 and disdain you. 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:12.340 But instead of confirming 00:09:12.340 --> 00:09:12.860 their suspicions 00:09:12.860 --> 00:09:14.320 of immaturity 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:15.340 and youthful ignorance 00:09:15.340 --> 00:09:16.300 and inexperience, 00:09:16.460 --> 00:09:17.940 set an example for them 00:09:17.940 --> 00:09:18.779 in godly speech 00:09:18.779 --> 00:09:19.660 and godly conduct. 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:22.100 These little ones 00:09:22.100 --> 00:09:23.480 that Jesus mentions 00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:25.180 do not refer to literal children, 00:09:25.420 --> 00:09:26.320 but to all those 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:27.879 who have become like children. 00:09:29.060 --> 00:09:30.680 Jesus said that in verse 3, 00:09:31.139 --> 00:09:32.620 those who have humbled themselves 00:09:32.620 --> 00:09:33.860 like a child 00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:34.980 in order to enter 00:09:34.980 --> 00:09:35.800 the kingdom of heaven. 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:37.159 What that means 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:38.079 is those who have 00:09:38.079 --> 00:09:40.120 benounced their self-sufficiency 00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:42.000 and have acknowledged 00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:42.859 their dependence 00:09:42.859 --> 00:09:43.659 on the provision 00:09:43.659 --> 00:09:44.539 of God the Father. 00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:46.299 It's those who have 00:09:46.299 --> 00:09:47.039 despaired 00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:48.699 of their self-righteousness 00:09:48.699 --> 00:09:50.199 and cling 00:09:50.199 --> 00:09:51.879 to Jesus Christ alone 00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:52.819 and His salvation, 00:09:52.939 --> 00:09:53.519 His atonement, 00:09:53.599 --> 00:09:54.299 His righteousness 00:09:54.299 --> 00:09:55.419 alone for salvation. 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:57.199 Those who have 00:09:57.199 --> 00:09:58.279 forsaken 00:09:58.279 --> 00:09:59.539 worldly status 00:09:59.539 --> 00:10:00.379 and glory 00:10:00.379 --> 00:10:01.799 and now seek 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:02.819 heavenly status 00:10:02.819 --> 00:10:03.759 and the glory 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:04.919 that comes from God. 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:06.779 In other words, 00:10:06.839 --> 00:10:07.439 the little ones 00:10:07.439 --> 00:10:08.599 are the Christians 00:10:08.599 --> 00:10:10.339 and this is confirmed 00:10:10.339 --> 00:10:11.240 by what Jesus said 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:12.759 earlier in chapter 10, 00:10:12.839 --> 00:10:13.419 verse 42, 00:10:13.859 --> 00:10:14.659 and whoever gives 00:10:14.659 --> 00:10:15.899 one of these little ones 00:10:15.899 --> 00:10:17.519 even a cup of cold water 00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:18.939 because he is a disciple, 00:10:19.859 --> 00:10:20.620 truly I say to you, 00:10:20.659 --> 00:10:21.439 he will by no means 00:10:21.439 --> 00:10:22.339 lose his reward. 00:10:22.899 --> 00:10:23.579 The little ones 00:10:23.579 --> 00:10:24.299 are the disciples 00:10:24.299 --> 00:10:25.179 of Jesus Christ, 00:10:25.479 --> 00:10:26.439 those who believe in Him 00:10:26.439 --> 00:10:27.299 and follow Him 00:10:27.299 --> 00:10:29.500 and Jesus warns, 00:10:30.099 --> 00:10:32.459 see that you do not despise 00:10:32.459 --> 00:10:34.379 one of these little ones. 00:10:34.379 --> 00:10:37.100 This warning is necessary 00:10:37.100 --> 00:10:38.200 because little ones 00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:39.559 are easy to despise. 00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:42.220 They don't have status, 00:10:42.860 --> 00:10:43.259 power. 00:10:43.820 --> 00:10:44.759 They don't have a seat 00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:45.240 at the table. 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:47.740 They're easy to bully around 00:10:47.740 --> 00:10:48.600 and push around. 00:10:49.419 --> 00:10:50.460 They are unintimidating 00:10:50.460 --> 00:10:51.299 and unthreatening. 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:53.539 People pay attention to 00:10:53.539 --> 00:10:54.600 and fawn after 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:56.059 the great ones of society. 00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:58.360 They ignore the little ones. 00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:00.940 Little ones are the ones 00:11:00.940 --> 00:11:02.120 whom God claims 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:03.639 as His dependents. 00:11:04.220 --> 00:11:05.159 Those who are poor 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:06.560 but depend on God's wealth. 00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:07.639 Those who are weak 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:09.080 but depend on God's power. 00:11:09.560 --> 00:11:11.000 Those who are sinful 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:12.500 but depend on God's mercy. 00:11:13.580 --> 00:11:14.340 But this world 00:11:14.340 --> 00:11:15.019 is not impressed 00:11:15.019 --> 00:11:15.700 by such people. 00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:18.519 This world doesn't take 00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:19.620 such people seriously. 00:11:20.779 --> 00:11:22.320 But Jesus commands us 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:23.240 to take them 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:25.539 very, very seriously. 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:27.000 So much so, 00:11:27.060 --> 00:11:27.500 He says that 00:11:27.500 --> 00:11:28.080 if you cause 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:29.159 one of these little ones 00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:29.879 who believe in me 00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:30.440 to sin, 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:31.120 Jesus says, 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:31.620 it'll be better 00:11:31.620 --> 00:11:32.220 for you to have 00:11:32.220 --> 00:11:33.340 a massive millstone 00:11:33.340 --> 00:11:34.240 tied around your neck 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:35.300 and drowned 00:11:35.300 --> 00:11:36.340 in the depths of the sea. 00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:38.640 Why so serious? 00:11:40.160 --> 00:11:41.380 Jesus says in verse 10, 00:11:41.540 --> 00:11:42.840 for I tell you 00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:43.940 that in heaven 00:11:43.940 --> 00:11:45.000 their angels 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:46.060 always see 00:11:46.060 --> 00:11:47.260 the face of my Father 00:11:47.260 --> 00:11:47.840 who is in heaven. 00:11:49.300 --> 00:11:50.320 Seeing the face 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:51.480 of God the Father 00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:52.020 in heaven 00:11:52.020 --> 00:11:52.900 is the language 00:11:52.900 --> 00:11:54.080 of the royal court. 00:11:54.880 --> 00:11:55.860 Not anyone 00:11:55.860 --> 00:11:56.840 gets admitted 00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:58.600 into the king's presence. 00:11:59.280 --> 00:11:59.820 Queen Esther, 00:11:59.820 --> 00:12:00.280 if you remember 00:12:00.280 --> 00:12:01.240 from the book of Esther, 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:02.120 tremble 00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:03.360 to enter into 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:04.460 King Ahasuerus' 00:12:04.680 --> 00:12:06.140 royal court 00:12:06.140 --> 00:12:07.200 even though she's 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:07.660 the queen. 00:12:08.140 --> 00:12:08.879 She said anyone 00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:10.280 who enters his court 00:12:10.280 --> 00:12:11.180 unsummoned 00:12:11.180 --> 00:12:12.220 is executed 00:12:12.220 --> 00:12:13.540 unless he 00:12:13.540 --> 00:12:15.040 extends a special 00:12:15.040 --> 00:12:15.460 pardon 00:12:15.460 --> 00:12:16.620 and mercy. 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:20.500 So it's not a small thing 00:12:20.500 --> 00:12:21.220 to have access 00:12:21.220 --> 00:12:21.820 to the king 00:12:21.820 --> 00:12:22.840 and yet Jesus says 00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:23.700 the angels 00:12:23.700 --> 00:12:25.260 of these little ones 00:12:25.260 --> 00:12:27.200 not once in a while 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:28.580 but always 00:12:28.580 --> 00:12:29.759 sees the face 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:30.220 of God 00:12:30.220 --> 00:12:30.640 the Father 00:12:30.640 --> 00:12:31.020 in heaven. 00:12:32.980 --> 00:12:34.379 We see the hints 00:12:34.379 --> 00:12:35.080 of this idea 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:36.160 of angels 00:12:36.160 --> 00:12:36.879 representing 00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:37.540 and guarding 00:12:37.540 --> 00:12:38.300 the people of God 00:12:38.300 --> 00:12:39.120 throughout the Bible. 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:40.800 Hebrews 1.14 00:12:40.800 --> 00:12:42.300 describes the angels 00:12:42.300 --> 00:12:44.340 as ministering spirits 00:12:44.340 --> 00:12:45.980 sent out to serve 00:12:45.980 --> 00:12:47.140 for the sake 00:12:47.140 --> 00:12:47.540 of those 00:12:47.540 --> 00:12:47.920 who are to 00:12:47.920 --> 00:12:48.780 inherit salvation. 00:12:49.660 --> 00:12:50.500 In other words, 00:12:50.800 --> 00:12:51.640 the little ones 00:12:51.640 --> 00:12:52.900 are the ones 00:12:52.900 --> 00:12:53.640 that are served 00:12:53.640 --> 00:12:54.480 by these angels. 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:55.259 They exist. 00:12:55.379 --> 00:12:56.740 They're serving spirits 00:12:56.740 --> 00:12:57.759 that exist to serve 00:12:57.759 --> 00:12:58.700 the little ones of God, 00:12:58.759 --> 00:12:59.560 the children of God. 00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:01.620 Psalm 91, 00:13:01.899 --> 00:13:02.620 9-12 00:13:02.620 --> 00:13:04.139 promises divine protection 00:13:04.139 --> 00:13:05.399 for those who 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:06.480 make the Lord God 00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:07.360 their refuge. 00:13:08.060 --> 00:13:08.399 And it says 00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:08.899 that the Lord 00:13:08.899 --> 00:13:09.620 will command 00:13:09.620 --> 00:13:10.639 his angels 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:11.920 concerning you 00:13:11.920 --> 00:13:13.259 to guard you 00:13:13.259 --> 00:13:14.200 in all your ways. 00:13:14.740 --> 00:13:15.539 On their hands 00:13:15.539 --> 00:13:16.440 they will bear you up 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:17.180 lest you strike 00:13:17.180 --> 00:13:17.560 your foot 00:13:17.560 --> 00:13:18.379 against the stone. 00:13:19.060 --> 00:13:19.680 This is where 00:13:19.680 --> 00:13:20.120 the idea 00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:21.060 of a guardian angel 00:13:21.060 --> 00:13:22.019 comes from. 00:13:22.680 --> 00:13:23.940 At the end of his life, 00:13:23.940 --> 00:13:25.440 Jacob speaks 00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:26.320 of the angel 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:27.760 who has delivered him 00:13:27.760 --> 00:13:29.740 from all of the evils 00:13:29.740 --> 00:13:30.360 in his life. 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:32.480 In Genesis 48, 00:13:32.580 --> 00:13:33.300 verse 16. 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:34.740 In Daniel chapter 3 00:13:34.740 --> 00:13:35.660 when Daniel's 00:13:35.660 --> 00:13:36.560 three friends, 00:13:36.780 --> 00:13:37.660 Shadrach, Meshach, 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:38.180 and Abednego 00:13:38.180 --> 00:13:39.040 are thrown 00:13:39.040 --> 00:13:40.140 into a fiery furnace 00:13:40.140 --> 00:13:40.900 because of their 00:13:40.900 --> 00:13:42.040 refusal to worship 00:13:42.040 --> 00:13:43.180 this idolatrous 00:13:43.180 --> 00:13:43.940 golden statue 00:13:43.940 --> 00:13:44.880 of Nebuchadnezzar, 00:13:46.400 --> 00:13:47.440 the emperor 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:48.240 sees that 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:49.580 there's a fourth person 00:13:49.580 --> 00:13:50.560 in the fiery furnace 00:13:50.560 --> 00:13:51.280 and it's an angel 00:13:51.280 --> 00:13:53.240 who's protecting them 00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:54.240 so that not a hair 00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:54.759 on their head 00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:55.340 is singed. 00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:57.779 In Revelation 2-3 00:13:57.779 --> 00:13:58.500 we see that 00:13:58.500 --> 00:13:59.919 every local church 00:13:59.919 --> 00:14:01.440 has an angelic 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:02.039 representative 00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:02.700 in heaven 00:14:02.700 --> 00:14:04.120 in the very throne room 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:04.600 of God. 00:14:05.860 --> 00:14:06.060 So, 00:14:06.620 --> 00:14:07.700 it says in 00:14:07.700 --> 00:14:08.620 Revelation 2-3 00:14:08.620 --> 00:14:10.299 that every angel, 00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:11.299 even the churches 00:14:11.299 --> 00:14:12.379 like Sardis 00:14:12.379 --> 00:14:13.159 and Laodicea 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:15.820 that have nothing 00:14:15.820 --> 00:14:16.820 to commend them 00:14:16.820 --> 00:14:18.919 that according 00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:20.019 to Jesus himself, 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:21.060 the church in Sardis 00:14:21.059 --> 00:14:22.519 is about to die. 00:14:23.059 --> 00:14:24.159 It's a dying church. 00:14:24.839 --> 00:14:25.339 Churches that, 00:14:25.439 --> 00:14:25.979 local churches 00:14:25.979 --> 00:14:26.599 that have nothing 00:14:26.599 --> 00:14:27.399 to commend them 00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:28.519 yet they still 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:30.219 have a lampstand 00:14:30.219 --> 00:14:31.019 that's burning 00:14:31.019 --> 00:14:32.359 before the presence 00:14:32.359 --> 00:14:32.719 of God 00:14:32.719 --> 00:14:33.819 and have an angelic 00:14:33.819 --> 00:14:34.500 representative 00:14:34.500 --> 00:14:35.519 that is before 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:36.839 the very face 00:14:36.839 --> 00:14:37.299 of God. 00:14:37.859 --> 00:14:39.039 These precious children, 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:40.199 these churches 00:14:40.199 --> 00:14:41.079 of Christ, 00:14:41.479 --> 00:14:42.019 though flawed 00:14:42.019 --> 00:14:42.579 and plagued 00:14:42.579 --> 00:14:43.959 by sins they may be, 00:14:44.839 --> 00:14:46.299 have 24-7 access 00:14:46.299 --> 00:14:47.079 to God the Father. 00:14:48.239 --> 00:14:48.779 They're literally 00:14:48.779 --> 00:14:50.360 before the Father's face 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:50.939 always. 00:14:52.699 --> 00:14:53.480 Do you know that 00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:54.720 that is how 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:56.899 you are loved, 00:14:58.199 --> 00:14:58.799 beloved children 00:14:58.799 --> 00:14:59.220 of God? 00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:02.480 That's, 00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:03.419 you are the, 00:15:03.419 --> 00:15:04.419 you are the apple 00:15:04.419 --> 00:15:05.539 of God's eye. 00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:06.379 He keeps you 00:15:06.379 --> 00:15:07.000 as the apple 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:07.360 of his eye. 00:15:07.539 --> 00:15:08.980 He hides you 00:15:08.980 --> 00:15:09.959 in the shadow 00:15:09.959 --> 00:15:10.959 of his wings, 00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:12.419 it says in Psalm 17, 00:15:12.500 --> 00:15:12.899 verse 8. 00:15:14.439 --> 00:15:15.519 And this is why 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:16.079 Jesus says 00:15:16.079 --> 00:15:17.319 we should not despise 00:15:17.319 --> 00:15:18.459 one of these little ones. 00:15:18.779 --> 00:15:22.240 they are the very heirs 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:23.100 of the kingdom 00:15:23.100 --> 00:15:23.879 of heaven. 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:25.559 And to drive home 00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:26.439 this point further, 00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:27.720 he uses this parable 00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:28.439 of the lost sheep 00:15:28.439 --> 00:15:29.779 in verses 12 to 13. 00:15:30.779 --> 00:15:31.819 What do you think? 00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:33.579 If a man has 00:15:33.579 --> 00:15:34.539 a hundred sheep 00:15:34.539 --> 00:15:35.139 and one of them 00:15:35.139 --> 00:15:35.919 has gone astray, 00:15:36.019 --> 00:15:36.879 does he not leave 00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:37.620 the ninety-nine 00:15:37.620 --> 00:15:38.319 on the mountains 00:15:38.319 --> 00:15:39.259 and go in search 00:15:39.259 --> 00:15:39.740 of the one 00:15:39.740 --> 00:15:40.600 that went astray? 00:15:41.199 --> 00:15:42.360 And if he finds it, 00:15:42.459 --> 00:15:43.360 truly I say to you, 00:15:43.419 --> 00:15:44.480 he rejoices over it 00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:45.039 more than over 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:45.699 the ninety-nine 00:15:45.699 --> 00:15:46.919 that never went astray. 00:15:47.779 --> 00:15:48.279 A shepherd 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:49.839 will take his flock 00:15:49.839 --> 00:15:51.259 around and feed them 00:15:51.259 --> 00:15:52.059 on the pastures 00:15:52.059 --> 00:15:52.779 and lead them 00:15:52.779 --> 00:15:53.819 to the waters 00:15:53.819 --> 00:15:55.919 and usually at night 00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:56.740 when it's time 00:15:56.740 --> 00:15:57.379 to turn in, 00:15:57.699 --> 00:15:58.919 he will count his sheep 00:15:58.919 --> 00:15:59.479 to make sure 00:15:59.479 --> 00:16:00.679 that they are all present. 00:16:01.699 --> 00:16:02.519 And he's counting 00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:03.000 his sheep 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:04.339 as he's in the habit 00:16:04.339 --> 00:16:04.699 of doing 00:16:04.699 --> 00:16:05.179 and he's got 00:16:05.179 --> 00:16:05.939 ninety-seven, 00:16:06.379 --> 00:16:07.059 ninety-eight, 00:16:07.979 --> 00:16:08.639 ninety-nine. 00:16:09.839 --> 00:16:10.500 Okay, I must have 00:16:10.500 --> 00:16:10.860 missed one. 00:16:10.939 --> 00:16:11.659 Okay, you start over. 00:16:11.659 --> 00:16:13.620 That's a lot 00:16:13.620 --> 00:16:14.219 of sheep to count. 00:16:14.579 --> 00:16:15.159 Ninety-seven, 00:16:15.620 --> 00:16:16.179 ninety-eight, 00:16:16.659 --> 00:16:17.399 ninety-nine. 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:19.339 It's not a mistake. 00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:21.879 Something's not right. 00:16:22.539 --> 00:16:23.480 And then his mind 00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:24.480 and his heart 00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:25.360 begin to race 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:26.600 and then his feet 00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:27.959 follow soon thereafter 00:16:27.959 --> 00:16:28.879 and now he is 00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:30.279 running across the pastures 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:30.980 trying to find 00:16:30.980 --> 00:16:32.480 the lost sheep. 00:16:33.719 --> 00:16:34.679 And as I mentioned 00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:35.500 to you when I preached 00:16:35.500 --> 00:16:36.679 on Matthew chapter nine 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:37.500 some months ago 00:16:37.500 --> 00:16:38.100 that sheep 00:16:38.100 --> 00:16:39.120 are famously 00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:39.839 helpless 00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:41.139 without shepherds. 00:16:41.920 --> 00:16:42.019 Right? 00:16:42.259 --> 00:16:43.379 They don't have 00:16:43.379 --> 00:16:44.540 a good sense of direction. 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:45.980 They're not like 00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:47.180 cats and dogs 00:16:47.180 --> 00:16:47.940 that can find 00:16:47.940 --> 00:16:48.759 their way back home. 00:16:49.940 --> 00:16:50.940 When they get lost 00:16:50.940 --> 00:16:51.820 they're actually lost. 00:16:52.700 --> 00:16:53.820 They're defenseless. 00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:54.860 They don't have claws. 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.180 They don't have sharp teeth. 00:16:56.379 --> 00:16:57.480 They can't fight back 00:16:57.480 --> 00:16:58.480 if wolves attack them. 00:16:58.560 --> 00:16:59.540 They're not very fast. 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:01.320 They get easily spooked 00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:02.300 and they run 00:17:02.300 --> 00:17:03.519 headlong into danger 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:04.500 or even off a cliff 00:17:04.500 --> 00:17:04.920 sometimes 00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:05.559 because they just 00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:07.299 don't have much sense. 00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:11.619 And so the shepherd 00:17:11.619 --> 00:17:12.639 as he's thinking 00:17:12.639 --> 00:17:13.759 about this missing sheep 00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:14.759 all of these things 00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:15.799 are on his mind. 00:17:17.459 --> 00:17:18.459 As the image 00:17:18.459 --> 00:17:19.759 of this helplessly 00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:20.819 bleeding sheep 00:17:20.819 --> 00:17:21.740 lost somewhere 00:17:21.740 --> 00:17:23.099 scared and vulnerable 00:17:23.099 --> 00:17:24.059 fills his mind 00:17:24.059 --> 00:17:25.539 he quickens his pace 00:17:25.539 --> 00:17:26.179 and he continues 00:17:26.179 --> 00:17:26.799 to search 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:27.579 and he says 00:17:27.579 --> 00:17:28.240 in verse 12 00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:30.220 that he leaves 00:17:30.220 --> 00:17:31.000 the 99 00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:32.480 on the mountains 00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:33.319 and then he goes 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:33.919 and searches 00:17:33.919 --> 00:17:34.740 for the one 00:17:34.740 --> 00:17:35.720 that went astray. 00:17:37.419 --> 00:17:38.319 Think about that 00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:39.119 for one moment. 00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:40.759 It doesn't say 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:41.939 that the shepherd 00:17:41.939 --> 00:17:43.720 puts the 99 sheep 00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:44.740 safely inside 00:17:44.740 --> 00:17:45.480 the sheepfold 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:46.720 and then he goes out 00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:47.139 to search 00:17:47.139 --> 00:17:48.079 for that one sheep. 00:17:49.779 --> 00:17:51.419 It says that he leaves 00:17:51.419 --> 00:17:51.980 the 99 00:17:51.980 --> 00:17:53.000 on the mountains 00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:54.379 and goes in search 00:17:54.379 --> 00:17:54.819 of the one 00:17:54.819 --> 00:17:55.539 that went astray. 00:17:56.899 --> 00:17:57.659 The math 00:17:57.659 --> 00:17:58.500 doesn't make sense. 00:18:00.419 --> 00:18:01.179 That's because 00:18:01.179 --> 00:18:02.039 this is not 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:03.039 a picture 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:04.459 of a calm 00:18:04.459 --> 00:18:05.799 calculated 00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:07.279 methodical rescue. 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:09.339 it's a picture 00:18:09.339 --> 00:18:10.680 of an urgent 00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:12.279 desperate search. 00:18:13.259 --> 00:18:14.319 It's a picture 00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:15.460 of a consuming 00:18:15.460 --> 00:18:16.339 love 00:18:16.339 --> 00:18:19.500 and the desperate 00:18:19.500 --> 00:18:20.079 predicament 00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:21.099 of that one 00:18:21.099 --> 00:18:22.000 wandering sheep 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:23.240 takes precedence 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:24.759 because that one 00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:25.960 has gone astray 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:26.680 while the 99 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:27.399 have not. 00:18:29.099 --> 00:18:29.899 And Jesus says 00:18:29.899 --> 00:18:30.960 God the Father's 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:31.339 heart 00:18:31.339 --> 00:18:32.059 is like 00:18:32.059 --> 00:18:33.700 that shepherd's 00:18:33.700 --> 00:18:34.559 who leaves 00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:35.059 the 99 00:18:35.059 --> 00:18:35.639 in search 00:18:35.639 --> 00:18:36.399 of the one. 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:38.079 Notice how many 00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:38.759 times the word 00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:39.720 one is repeated 00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:40.480 in chapter 18. 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:41.720 Verse 5 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:42.919 Whoever receives 00:18:42.919 --> 00:18:44.279 one such child 00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:44.940 in my name 00:18:44.940 --> 00:18:45.960 receives me. 00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:46.759 But whoever 00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:47.980 causes one 00:18:47.980 --> 00:18:48.940 of these little ones 00:18:48.940 --> 00:18:49.359 who believe 00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:50.019 in me to sin 00:18:50.019 --> 00:18:50.759 it will be better 00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:51.480 for him to have 00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:52.240 a great millstone 00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:52.879 fastened around 00:18:52.879 --> 00:18:53.220 his neck 00:18:53.220 --> 00:18:53.700 and to be drowned 00:18:53.700 --> 00:18:54.039 in the depths 00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:54.500 of the sea. 00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:56.259 Verse 10 00:18:56.259 --> 00:18:57.359 See that you 00:18:57.359 --> 00:18:58.240 do not despise 00:18:58.240 --> 00:18:59.440 one of these 00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:00.059 little ones. 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:01.179 Verse 12 00:19:01.179 --> 00:19:01.700 If a man 00:19:01.700 --> 00:19:02.519 has a hundred sheep 00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:03.639 and one of them 00:19:03.639 --> 00:19:04.539 has gone astray 00:19:04.539 --> 00:19:05.399 does he not 00:19:05.399 --> 00:19:06.299 leave the 99 00:19:06.299 --> 00:19:06.980 on the mountains 00:19:06.980 --> 00:19:07.720 and go in search 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:08.440 of the one 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:09.519 that went astray. 00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:11.200 Verse 14 00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:11.920 So it is not 00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:12.559 the will of my 00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:13.339 Father who is in 00:19:13.339 --> 00:19:13.539 heaven 00:19:13.539 --> 00:19:14.659 that one 00:19:14.659 --> 00:19:15.460 of these little 00:19:15.460 --> 00:19:16.619 ones should perish. 00:19:17.139 --> 00:19:18.279 This is Jesus' 00:19:18.500 --> 00:19:18.940 point. 00:19:19.879 --> 00:19:21.059 God's love 00:19:21.059 --> 00:19:22.420 God loves 00:19:22.420 --> 00:19:23.500 his one 00:19:23.500 --> 00:19:24.759 wandering sheep 00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:25.740 as if it were 00:19:25.740 --> 00:19:26.960 the only sheep
