I WANT TO MOVE ON INTO THE LESSON. 14:51 WE'RE DEALING WITH DISCIPLESHIP AND WE'RE ON LESSON #7 AND IT'S 14:56 'JESUS AND THE SOCIAL OUTCASTS'. AND AS I WAS SITTING DOWN THERE 15:05 A FEW MOMENTS AGO AND LISTENING TO - AS THE NUMBER ONE FAN OF 15:10 'ECHOES OF MERCY' LISTENING TO THAT BEAUTIFUL SONG. 15:13 I TURNED TO THIS PASSAGE HERE - I WAS JUST CHECKING SOMETHING 15:16 UP. AND I WANT TO READ IT BECAUSE IT 15:18 IS EXACTLY IN LINE WITH OUR LESSON TODAY. 15:22 IT'S ABOUT JESUS, THE GREAT FISHER OF MEN AND WOMEN. 15:27 THE ONE WHO IS OUR EXAMPLE IN DISCIPLING AND - THIS IS A 15:32 PROPHECY IN ISAIAH 42. IT WAS WRITTEN 700 YEARS BEFORE 15:36 JESUS CAME, BUT IT EPITOMIZES HIM AND WHAT HE CAME TO DO. 15:43 I WANT TO READ IT - LOOKING AT SEVEN VERSES, BUT I'M GOING TO 15:49 READ THEM ALL. MESSIANIC PROPHECY, WHICH WAS 15:53 FULFILLED IN CHRIST AND WHICH IS STILL BEING FULFILLED THROUGH 15:56 HIS MINISTRY TOWARD US AND EVERYBODY ELSE. 15:59 "BEHOLD MY SERVANT, WHOM I UPHOLD; MINE ELECT, IN WHOM MY 16:06 SOUL DELIGHTETH;" - THIS IS GOD SPEAKING - "I HAVE PUT MY SPIRIT 16:11 UPON HIM: HE SHALL BRING FORTH JUDGMENT TO THE GENTILES." 16:16 - AND IN THE LESSON THIS WEEK WE'VE GOT AT LEAST TWO EXAMPLES 16:19 OF HOW JESUS WENT TO THE GENTILES - HE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO 16:22 HAVE ANY BUSINESS WITH GENTILES BUT HE WENT TO THEM - THE WOMAN 16:26 AT THE WELL, FOR ONE. HE WENT TO THEM BECAUSE, WHETHER 16:30 THEY KNEW IT OR NOT, THEY STILL BELONGED TO HIM. 16:34 BUT LOOK AT VERSE 2: IT SAYS, "HE SHALL NOT CRY, NOR LIFT UP, 16:39 NOR CAUSE HIS VOICE TO BE HEARD IN THE STREET." 16:42 - ESPECIALLY VERSE 3 - "A BRUISED REED SHALL HE NOT BREAK, 16:49 AND THE SMOKING FLAX SHALL HE NOT QUENCH:" - YOU KNOW, JESUS 16:55 HAD THE HEART OF A LION. HE WAS BRAVE, HE WAS COURAGEOUS 17:01 - AS WE'LL SEE AS WE GO THROUGH THE LESSON. 17:03 HE COULD FACE DEMONIACS - EVERYBODY ELSE FLED, BUT HE 17:06 STOOD HIS GROUND. HE WASN'T AFRAID, HE WAS COURAGEOUS. 17:10 GENTLEMEN, IF YOU EVER WANT A MENTOR - WHAT IT IS TO BE A REAL 17:13 MAN - TO BE BRAVE - YOU'VE GOT JESUS. SO HE WAS STRONG, 17:21 BUT AT THE SAME TIME HE WAS SO INFINITELY GENTLE. 17:26 AND THIS WAS DESCRIBED HERE, IT SAYS IN VERSE 3, "A BRUISED REED 17:31 SHALL HE NOT BREAK" - THERE WERE MANY BRUISED REEDS THAT FOUND 17:37 THEIR WAY INTO JESUS' PRESENCE AND THERE WERE A LOT OF 17:44 IMPOSTERS WHO CLAIMED TO BE CHRIST AND THE PHARISEES, 17:48 SADDUCEES, THE PRIESTS - THEY CHOSE TO BE - OR THOUGHT THEY 17:53 WERE THE TRUE REPRESENTATIVES OF GOD AND WHEN BRUISED REEDS WERE 17:57 BROUGHT TO THEM, THEY'D JUST STOMP ALL OVER THEM AND TELL 18:01 THEM, 'YOU DESERVE TO BE LIKE THIS BECAUSE YOU'RE A SINNER.' 18:07 JESUS WASN'T LIKE THAT. EVERY BRUISED REED THAT CAME TO 18:10 HIM, HE NEVER GOT IT AND SNAPPED IT. 18:16 HE SPOKE WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT AND KINDNESS AND COMPASSION AND 18:23 MERCY. AND THEY WERE BRUISED FOR 18:25 DIFFERENT REASONS, YOU KNOW? THEY'D BEEN BEATEN AROUND - 18:27 PHYSICALLY BRUISED - HAD A BAD UPBRINGING. 18:30 A LOT OF TIMES THEY WERE BRUISED BECAUSE THE DEVIL HAD SLAPPED 18:34 THEM AROUND AND LED THEM INTO SIN AND THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE 18:36 USELESS AND NO GOOD AND DEFILED AND THEY CAME TO JESUS AS 18:40 BRUISED REEDS AND NEVER ONCE DID HE DO THAT. 18:46 HE ALWAYS MADE THEM FEEL WELCOME. 18:51 HE LOVED THEM AND THEY UNDERSTOOD - EVEN IF THEY DIDN'T 18:54 UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHO HE WAS AND WHERE HE CAME FROM - HERE'S 18:58 SOMEBODY WHO'S DIFFERENT. HERE'S SOMEBODY WHO I BELIEVE 19:02 REALLY LOVES ME - REALLY CARES FOR ME. 19:05 AND THEY SURE GOT THAT RIGHT BECAUSE THAT WAS WHAT JESUS WAS 19:09 LIKE. AND HE STILL IS. "AND THE SMOKING FLAX" - YOU 19:14 KNOW, SOMEBODY COMES ALONG AND THE FLAME IS JUST ABOUT GONE. 19:18 ALL THEY'D HAVE TO DO IS 'PFFT' - AND THE PHARISEES WOULD DO 19:20 THAT, BUT JESUS WOULD GENTLY FAN THAT LITTLE LIGHT - BRING BACK 19:25 LIGHT AND WARMTH INTO THEIR LIFE. THAT'S WHAT YOUR 19:30 BEST FRIEND IS ALL ABOUT. THAT'S WHAT HE IS TO YOU. 19:35 AND IF YOU'VE NEVER LET HIM DO THAT, YOU SHOULD. 19:39 MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE. 19:44 AND SO IT GOES ON HERE - SO I'M GOING TO MOVE ON HERE AND - BUT 19:49 VERSE 6 - GOD CALLING - GIVING THIS PREDICTION ABOUT HIS SON. 19:55 IT SAYS, "I THE LORD HAVE CALLED THEE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND WILL 19:58 HOLD THINE HAND, AND WILL KEEP THEE, AND GIVE THEE FOR A 20:04 COVENANT OF THE PEOPLE, FOR A LIGHT TO THE GENTILES." 20:08 NOT JUST TO THE FAMILY - THE JEWS - BUT TO THE GENTILES - THE 20:14 SAMARITANS - THE PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT PLACES THAT THE JEWS 20:18 HAD NOTHING WITH. JESUS WAS DIFFERENT. HE MADE THEM. 20:23 THEY BELONGED TO HIM AND HE WANTED THEM TO KNOW THAT. 20:26 AND FINALLY, VERSE 7, "TO OPEN THE BLIND EYES, TO BRING OUT THE 20:32 PRISONERS FROM THE PRISON, AND THEM THAT SIT IN DARKNESS OUT OF 20:36 THE PRISON HOUSE." THAT'S WHAT JESUS IS ALL ABOUT. 20:39 CAN YOU SAY 'AMEN'? ABSOLUTELY. 20:42 AND SO, THIS MORNING, I WANTED TO OPEN WITH THAT. 20:45 AND OUR LESSON IS ACTUALLY IN #7 - 'JESUS AND THE OUTCASTS'. 20:49 AND THE MEMORY TEXT IS FROM JOHN 4:28-30. 20:57 IT'S ABOUT THE WOMAN AT THE WELL. 20:59 IT SAYS, "THE WOMAN THEN LEFT HER WATER POT, AND WENT HER WAY 21:03 INTO THE CITY, AND SAITH TO THE MEN, 'COME,'" - I LOVE THE WAY 21:09 THAT WOMAN SAID THAT - YOU'VE HEARD PEOPLE SAY TO YOU 21:12 'COME HERE, PLEASE'? 21:13 BUT FOR THIS WOMAN TO SAY TO THESE PEOPLE, "'COME. 21:19 COME, SEE A MAN, WHICH TOLD ME ALL THINGS THAT I EVER DID:'" - 21:30 'COME SEE SOMEBODY WHO IS ABSOLUTELY DIFFERENT. 21:35 TOLD ME EVERYTHING THAT I'D EVER DONE.' AND, BY THE WAY, THIS 21:37 WOMAN, WHEN SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT - IF TIME PERMITS 21:41 WE'LL GET ONTO THE ACTUAL ACCOUNT FURTHER ON IN THE LESSON 21:44 - I THINK IT'S WEDNESDAY'S - JESUS TOLD HER STUFF THAT REALLY 21:47 WASN'T NICE TO BE BROUGHT OUT. BUT, NONETHELESS, THIS WOMAN 21:53 REALIZED THAT HERE WAS SOMEBODY WHO WAS DIFFERENT. 21:55 HE WAS A PROPHET. HE WAS THE MESSIAH. 22:00 AND FOR ALL HE BROUGHT OUT - ALL THE DIRTY LAUNDRY OUT OF THE 22:04 HAMPER - SHE REALIZED THAT IN SPITE OF THAT, THAT HE KNEW HER 22:07 LIFE. HE KNEW HER HEART. SHE KNEW THAT SHE WAS A BRUISED 22:13 REED THAT HE DIDN'T BROKE - DIDN'T BREAK - BUT THROUGH HIS 22:18 GRACE, PUT HER BACK TOGETHER AGAIN. 22:21 AND THAT WOMAN'S LIFE WAS CHANGED. 22:23 SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON HERE TO SUNDAY, 'BOTTOM DWELLERS'. 22:29 NOW HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE CALLED A BOTTOM DWELLER? 22:31 YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? THE BOTTOM DWELLER - USUALLY WE 22:35 REFER TO THAT AS FISH, YOU KNOW, STUFF THAT FEEDS ON THE BOTTOM 22:39 WHERE THE SEWER COMES OUT INTO THE OCEAN - YOU GET THE CRABS 22:42 AND THE LOBSTER AND ALL THIS - BOTTOM FEEDERS. 22:45 PRETTY GRAPHIC TITLE TO GIVE TO PEOPLE BUT, YOU KNOW, IN GOD'S 22:48 EYES WE'RE BOTTOM FEEDERS SOMETIMES. 22:53 BUT, NONETHELESS, HERE IN SUNDAY'S SECTION 'BOTTOM 22:56 FEEDERS' - IN MATTHEW 21:31 - JESUS WAS IN THE TEMPLE AND HE 23:01 WAS PREACHING AND TEACHING AND THE PHARISEES CAME TO HIM AND 23:07 THEY WERE SAYING, 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? 23:08 ON WHOSE AUTHORITY ARE YOU DOING THIS? 23:10 WE DON'T KNOW YOU FROM ADAM.' YOU KNOW, 'WHERE'S YOUR DEGREE? 23:13 WHERE'S YOUR DIPLOMA? WERE YOU EVER ORDAINED?' 23:17 AND SO JESUS HAD AN ANSWER TO THESE HARD-HEARTED MEN WHO CARED 23:21 LITTLE FOR THE BRUISED REEDS AND LITTLE FLITTERING FLAXES THAT 23:25 ARE ABOUT TO BE SNUFFED OUT. JESUS HAD A WORD FOR THEM. 23:29 "JESUS SAITH UNTO THEM, 'VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT THE 23:35 PUBLICANS AND THE HARLOTS'" - THE BOTTOM FEEDERS, RIGHT? 23:41 - JESUS SAID, "'VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT THE (BOTTOM 23:44 FEEDERS) GO INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD BEFORE YOU.'" 23:50 DO YOU SUPPOSE THEY LIKED THAT? 23:52 NO, THEY DIDN'T SEE THEMSELVES AS BOTTOM FEEDERS, THEY SAW 23:55 THEMSELVES IN THE HIGHER ECHELONS. 23:57 BUT JESUS BROUGHT THOSE MEN DOWN LOWER THAN THE BOTTOM FEEDERS 24:02 BECAUSE HE LOOKS AT THE WORTH OF THE SOUL AND HE DOESN'T SEE 24:08 SOMEBODY WHO MAY BE TRULY A BOTTOM FEEDER - HE SEES IT BUT 24:12 HE DOESN'T DWELL UPON THAT. HE SEES THEM HOW THEY WILL BE 24:17 WHEN TRANSFORMED BY HIS GRACE. AND, YOU KNOW, IT WAS THAT VIEW 24:23 THAT JESUS CONSTANTLY HAD OF BOTTOM FEEDERS THAT GAVE HIM 24:27 HOPE AND COURAGE THAT HE WAS GOING TO POUR HIMSELF OUT IN THE 24:30 MOST DREADFUL WAY AT THE END OF HIS MINISTRY. 24:32 AND YET, EVEN IF THERE WAS ONE BOTTOM FEEDER IN THE KINGDOM OF 24:34 HEAVEN AND THAT'S ALL HE GOT, IT WOULD ALL BE WORTHWHILE. 24:40 SOME SAVIOR, MICHAEL, SOME SAVIOR. 24:43 AND IF YOU'VE - AND SO IT'S SATAN'S PURPOSE TO TAKE THE 24:47 HUMAN RACE, ONE BY ONE, AND MAKE US ALL INTO BOTTOM FEEDERS. 24:54 GOD CREATED THE RACE PURE, NOBLE, UPRIGHT, BEAUTIFUL, 24:58 LOVELY - AND IT'S THE DEVIL'S PURPOSE TO JUST RIP OUT EVERY 25:02 VESTIGE OF THE PURE IMAGE OF GOD THAT GOD ESTABLISHED IN THE 25:10 DEMEANOR AND THE FORM AND THE LIFE OF ADAM AND EVE WHEN THEY 25:14 FIRST CAME FORTH FROM HIS HAND. 25:17 AND SO HE DELIGHTS TO DO THIS AND TAKE EVERY HUMAN BEING THAT 25:20 HE CAN AND CAST THEM ONTO THE - INTO THE GARBAGE - INTO THE 25:26 LANDFILL OF CORRUPTED AND SQUANDERED HUMAN LIFE. 25:32 AND, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'VE NEVER SEEN, FIRSTHAND, WHAT THE DEVIL 25:36 CAN DO TO PEOPLE, YOU JUST GO DOWN TO THE JAIL ONE DAY. 25:42 THE COUNTY JAIL IS JUST TEN MINUTES FROM HERE. 25:45 I GO VISIT PEOPLE THERE SOMETIMES. 25:48 AND YOU'RE STANDING WAITING THERE IN LINE AND YOU LOOK 25:51 AROUND AND YOU CAN ALMOST WEEP. YOU VERY OFTEN SEE MOTHERS WITH 25:55 THEIR LITTLE KIDS - CUTE LITTLE KIDS, YOU KNOW - 25:57 JUST THE CUTEST LITTLE KIDS. I SAW A CUTE LITTLE BABY THE 26:00 OTHER DAY AND I'M LOOKING AND THERE'S MOM. 26:04 AND YOU KNOW WHERE DADDY IS, HE'S LOCKED UP INSIDE. 26:09 THAT'S WHAT SATAN DOES TO PEOPLE. 26:12 I WAS DOWN THERE THE OTHER - I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO 26:15 SIDETRACKED HERE, BUT I WAS DOWN AT THE COURTHOUSE - THIS WAS, 26:19 I DON'T KNOW, SIX WEEKS AGO - I WAS WAITING OUTSIDE - THE 26:25 COURTHOUSE THERE'S A - SORRY, THE JAIL - 26:28 THERE'S A SMALL COURTHOUSE DOWNSTAIRS. 26:30 THERE ARE ABOUT FOUR DEPARTMENTS - THAT'S APART FROM THE MAIN 26:32 SUPERIOR COURTHOUSE - BUT I WAS WAITING TO GO INTO THE - ONE OF 26:36 THE SMALLER COURTROOMS DOWN THERE - I WENT FOR IT TO OPEN - 26:39 THERE WAS SOMEBODY I HAD AN INTEREST IN. 26:42 AND I SAW THIS LADY COME OUT. SHE WAS WITH HER ATTORNEY - 26:46 PUBLIC DEFENDER - YOU COULD TELL SHE COULDN'T AFFORD A LAWYER - 26:49 AND I TOOK ONE LOOK AT THIS LADY AND - SHE WASN'T OLD - SHE WAS 26:54 ABOUT MIDDLE AGE, BUT YOU COULD SEE WHAT DRUGS HAD DONE TO HER. 26:58 AND THE PUBLIC DEFENDER WAS LOOKING AT HER, YOU KNOW, TO HIM 27:02 IT'S A JOB - BUSINESS AS USUAL - HE'S TELLING HER STUFF. 27:05 I WAS JUST LOOKING AT THIS POOR WOMAN AND TEETH WERE - SHE'D 27:12 PROBABLY BEEN ON METH - TEETH WERE GONE - AND I WATCHED HER 27:16 AND SHE WENT AND STOOD OVER IN THE CORNER A MOMENT AND I LOOKED 27:18 AT THIS PITIFUL WOMAN AND SHE JUST STOOD THERE CRYING. 27:22 AND I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, 'WHAT DOES JESUS THINK? 27:29 WHAT DOES JESUS THINK?' I MEAN, HE SEES THIS EVERY DAY. 27:33 AND I WANTED TO HELP THIS WOMAN SO BAD, YOU KNOW? 27:36 SO LO AND BEHOLD, I ALWAYS CARRY A FEW KLEENEX IN MY POCKET. 27:40 THEY'RE A BIT CRUMPLED UP, BUT THEY'RE WARM AND THEY'RE CLEAN, 27:43 YOU KNOW? I KEEP THEM FOR SUCH TIMES AS THIS. 27:46 I WENT OVER TO THIS LITTLE LADY AND I SAID, 'EXCUSE ME MA'AM.' I 27:51 SAID, 'I'M A PASTOR FROM DOWN THE ROAD.' I SAID, 'I'M SORRY, 27:59 YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY HURT.' I SAID, 'I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.' AND I 28:03 SAID, 'LOOK, IT'S KIND OF BEATEN UP AND - BUT IT'S WARM AND IT'S 28:07 CLEAN.' SO I GAVE IT TO HER AND SHE STARTED DABBING HER FACE - 28:11 HER NAME WAS ANGELA - AND SHE TOLD ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT 28:15 WAS GOING ON AND I SAID, 'WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO HAVE A LITTLE 28:19 PRAYER WITH YOU, ANGELA?' AND SHE SAID, 'YES, PLEASE.' SO 28:23 I HELD ANGELA'S HANDS AND WE HAD A LITTLE PRAYER AND - NEVER SAW 28:27 HER AGAIN AFTER THAT BUT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE LIKE THAT - THEY 28:33 COME AND THEY GO ALL THE TIME. WE PASS THEM ON THE STREET - 28:36 WE PASS THEM IN THE SUPERMARKET IF THEY CAN AFFORD TO GO IN. 28:41 BUT JESUS KNOWS WHO THEY ARE AND HE LOVES THEM AND HE WANTS US TO 28:45 REACH OUT TO THESE PEOPLE THAT WE SO OFTEN REFER TO AS, 28:48 MAYBE, OUTCASTS OR BOTTOM FEEDERS. 28:53 THEY MAY NOT KNOW HIM BUT HE KNOWS THEM. 28:56 THEY BELONG TO HIM AND HE CARES FOR HIS OWN. 29:00 AND TONIGHT - TODAY - HERE WE ARE. 29:02 YOU KNOW, PRAISE GOD WE'RE CHRISTIANS. 29:05 HE'S CLEANED US UP AND WE CAN SIT IN CHURCH THIS MORNING AND 29:08 BE THANKFUL AND GLAD. LOOK WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR US. 29:12 BUT ALWAYS ASK HIM TO GIVE YOU A HEART FOR OTHERS THAT DON'T HAVE 29:15 THE LIGHT - THE EXPERIENCE THAT YOU HAVE AT PRESENT. 29:21 JESUS NEVER CENSURED HUMAN WEAKNESS. 29:24 THERE'S A STATEMENT LIKE THAT IN 'DESIRE OF AGES' - COULDN'T FIND 29:26 THE PAGE BUT IT'S TRUE. JESUS NEVER CENSURED HUMAN WEAK 29:30 - THESE BROKEN REEDS THAT WOULD COME OR THESE SMOKING LITTLE 29:34 FLAXES. HE NEVER CENSURED HUMAN 29:37 WEAKNESS, THAT'S WHY PEOPLE FELT THEY COULD APPROACH HIM. 29:40 NOW IT DOESN'T MEAN HE EVER CONDONED OR EXCUSED SIN, BUT AS 29:45 ONE WHO, HIMSELF, BORE INFIRMITIES IN OUR FLESH, HE 29:51 PITIED PEOPLE AND HE KNEW HE WOULD NEVER WIN THEM BY 29:55 CRITICIZING THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE WEAK, FALLEN HUMAN BEINGS. 30:01 BUT HE SOUGHT TO DRAW THEM BY HIS LOVE AND ENCOURAGE THEM. 30:07 AND REALIZED HE COULD FORGIVE THEM, WHICH HE DID, AND CHANGE 30:11 THEIR VERY LIVES. SO LET'S BE GLAD FOR JESUS, 30:16 WHAT DO YOU SAY? WE SEE THIS, ACTUALLY, IN LUKE 30:21 15:6 - SORRY, LUKE 15 - LET'S GO TO LUKE 15. 30:26 WHEN A BOTTOM FEEDER IS FOUND OR SOMEBODY WHO'S BEEN A CHRISTIAN 30:32 AND WANDERED AWAY FROM THE FOLD AND THE CHURCH FAMILY MIGHT SAY, 30:37 'WELL, SERVES HIM RIGHT, YOU KNOW. 30:39 WE GAVE HIM SO MANY WARNINGS.' YOU MAY STAY IN BED AT NIGHT, 30:43 BUT JESUS DOESN'T. HE'S A SHEPHERD, HE'S OUT IN THE 30:46 DARK AND HE'S LOOKING FOR THEM. WHEN HE FINDS THEM HE REJOICES. 30:49 LUKE 15, VERSE 6 - IT SAYS, "AND WHEN HE HATH" - VERSE 5 - "AND 30:58 WHEN HE HATH FOUNT IT, HE LAYETH IT ON HIS SHOULDERS, REJOICING." 31:01 - GOT HIS LOST SHEEP - VERSE 6 - "AND WHEN HE COMETH HOME, HE 31:05 CALLETH TOGETHER HIS FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS, SAYING UNTO THEM, 31:08 'REJOICE WITH ME; FOR I HAVE FOUND MY SHEEP WHICH WAS LOST. 31:15 I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT LIKEWISE JOY SHALL BE IN HEAVEN OVER ONE 31:21 SINNER THAT REPENTETH, MORE THAN OVER NINETY AND NINE JUST 31:25 PERSONS, WHICH NEED NO REPENTANCE." 31:29 AND THEN IN LUKE 15, VERSE 10 - ANOTHER STORY - THE LOST COIN - 31:34 "LIKEWISE, I SAY UNTO YOU, THERE IS JOY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE 31:37 ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE SINNER THAT REPENTETH." 31:42 AND, OF COURSE, IN THIS SAME STORY, OF COURSE, IN LUKE 31:46 CHAPTER 15 - YOU'VE GOT THE PRODIGAL SON THAT KIND OF CAPS 31:51 IT ALL OFF. I WON'T GO THERE BECAUSE I'LL 31:53 TALK ABOUT IT FOR TOO LONG. IT'S JUST PREGNANT WITH MEANING. 31:57 BUT THE PRODIGAL SON OR THE PRODIGAL DAUGHTER - IT'S JUST SO 32:00 WONDERFUL. SO - WELL, PRODIGAL SON OR 32:04 PRODIGAL - THEY LEFT HOME, RIGHT? 32:05 THEY CAME FROM A HIGH POSITION. 32:07 THEY FINISHED UP AS BOTTOM FEEDERS - BOTTOM DWELLERS - JUST 32:10 LIVING ON THE HUSKS - EATING THE FRUITS OF WHAT THEY HAVE SOWN. 32:15 AND THERE IS THIS JEWISH BOY FEEDING PIGS. 32:18 HOW MUCH OF A BOTTOM FEEDER COULD YOU BE AS A JEW? 32:21 HE'S FEEDING PIGS AND HE'S THERE AND SUDDENLY HE COMES TO HIMSELF 32:23 AND HE REALIZES, 'YOU KNOW, IT WASN'T THAT BAD IN MY DAD'S 32:28 HOUSE. I THINK I'LL GO HOME. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? 32:31 HE'LL PROBABLY MAKE ME BEG AT THE DOOR.' AND SO HE GETS THIS - 32:34 THIS SPEECH PREPARED AND WHAT DID JESUS SAY IN THE PARABLE? 32:40 HE SAYS, 'AND WHEN HE WAS YET A LONG WAY OFF, 32:42 HIS FATHER SAW HIM' - WHY? 32:43 BECAUSE HE STOOD ON THE DOORSTEP LOOKING FOR HIS BOY. 32:47 AND HE WAS A LONG WAY OFF AND - 'PFFT' - NO BEGGING, NO 32:51 GROVELING - 'SON, WELCOME HOME. COME HERE.' HE PUTS HIS ROBE 32:56 AROUND HIM AND TAKES HIM IN THE HOUSE. 32:57 HE SAID, 'I'LL BE YOUR SERVANT, DAD.' 'YOU'LL BE NO SUCH THING. 33:01 YOU'RE MY SON. YOU BELONG TO ME.' PRAISE GOD. 33:05 FOR WHERE SIN ABOUNDS GOD'S GRACE DOES MUCH MORE ABOUND. 33:10 THERE'S A STATEMENT IN THE WRITINGS OF ELLEN WHITE AND I'VE 33:12 GOT 'HP' AND I CANNOT, FOR THE LIFE OF ME, REMEMBER WHAT THAT 33:16 ABBREVIATION IS. IF ANYBODY CAN HELP ME OUT WITH THIS. 33:19 I THINK IT'S HP. OH THANK YOU VERY MUCH - 33:23 THAT'S RIGHT. THANK YOU. 33:25 'HEAVENLY - HEAVENLY - SEE, I DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING. 33:30 'HEAVENLY PLACES' PAGE 181 - THANK YOU. 33:33 OF COURSE, 'HEAVENLY PLACES' - THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS, SPEAKING 33:36 ABOUT JESUS, "THOSE WHO" - AND I'M GOING TO PUT IT IN THE 33:39 CONTEXT OF BOTTOM FEEDERS OR BOTTOM DWELLERS. 33:43 IT SAYS "THOSE WHO COME TO HIM" - YOU KNOW, THE BRUISED REED AND 33:49 THE SMOKING FLAX - JUST COVERED IN FILTH - HE FORGIVES THEM. 33:53 BUT YOU KNOW WHAT IT DOES IN RETURN? 33:55 AND THIS IS ONE OF THE IMPORTANT THINGS ABOUT JESUS - HOW HE 33:59 SETS, AS AN EXAMPLE OF DISCIPLESHIP AND HELPING PEOPLE. 34:04 YOU KNOW WHAT HE DID IN RETURN? 34:07 HE SOUGHT TO INSPIRE THEM WITH HOPE. 34:11 "HE SOUGHT TO INSPIRE WITH HOPE THE MOST ROUGH AND UNPROMISING 34:18 AND WHAT HE WOULD DO HE WOULD THEN EXPRESS CONFIDENCE IN THEM 34:25 AND GIVE THEM RESPONSIBILITIES AND SAY, 'HERE, YOU'RE NOT A 34:30 BOTTOM FEEDER, YOU'RE PART OF MY TEAM. 34:33 HERE'S SOMETHING I WANT YOU TO DO.' YOU KNOW WHAT THAT DID? 34:36 THAT WAS TREMENDOUS PSYCHOLOGY APART FROM IT BEING A 34:39 DEMONSTRATION OF GRACE. IT SAYS THIS: "AND MEN LONGED TO 34:44 BECOME WORTHY OF HIS CONFIDENCE." 34:49 ISN'T THAT A WAY TO WIN PEOPLE TO JESUS? 34:52 YOU DO THAT WITH YOUR KIDS, RIGHT? 34:54 WHEN THEY DESERVE A SCOLDING - WELL, YOU SHOULD NEVER SCOLD 34:57 YOUR KIDS - I'M OLD SCHOOL, I THINK IF THEY NEED A SPANKING 35:00 YOU SHOULD SPANK THEM. BUT NOT FOR EVERYTHING. 35:04 I THINK THERE'S A PLACE FOR IT. 35:06 BUT IF YOU DO IT, YOU JUST HUG THEM TO DEATH AS SOON AS YOU'RE 35:09 DONE - AND EVEN BEFORE YOU DO IT. 35:11 BUT YOU LET THEM KNOW THAT, 'YES, YOU'VE FALLEN, BUT YOU'RE 35:15 FORGIVEN AND NOW I EXPRESS CONFIDENCE IN YOU THAT YOU CAN 35:21 DO IT RIGHT.' AND WHAT DOES THAT DO TO A CHILD? 35:24 THEY WANT TO SHOW TO THEIR PARENTS THAT 'YEAH, I CAN DO 35:27 IT.' AND THAT'S JUST HOW JESUS DEALT WITH PEOPLE WHEN IT COMES 35:32 TO THIS ISSUE OF DISCIPLESHIP. 35:35 AND, AGAIN, LET ME SAY IT'S ALWAYS SATAN'S PURPOSE TO LEAD 35:38 FALLEN HUMAN BEINGS DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO SIN UNTIL, 35:42 ULTIMATELY, IT SEEMS THAT THEY REACH THE POINT WHERE THERE CAN 35:48 BE NO U-TURN EVEN IF THEY WANT ONE. 35:52 SO HE GETS THEM TO THIS POINT AND THEY THINK. 35:54 'I CAN'T EVEN TURN AROUND NOW, IT'S SO BAD.' SO THEY'RE 35:57 TRAPPED, IT SEEMS, AND THEN HE TAKES THINGS FROM BAD TO WORSE 36:03 BECAUSE WHAT - ACTUALLY NOW, WE'RE ON MONDAY'S SECTION. 36:05 THIS IS THE - THIS IS THE WOMAN TAKEN IN ADULTERY - WE'RE IN 36:09 MONDAY'S SECTION - IN THE VERY ACT. 36:12 SO THIS IS THE CONTEXT HERE. SO IF YOU'VE GOT THIS WOMAN - 36:15 YOU KNOW THE STORY - SO WHAT THE DEVIL DOES - HE LEADS THEM 36:17 DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO SIN UNTIL IT SEEMS THERE'S NO WAY OUT. 36:20 THEY WOULD LOOK FOR A U-TURN - THEY'D LONG FOR A U-TURN, BUT IT 36:23 SEEMS THEY CAN'T DO IT. AND TO MAKE THINGS WORSE, THE 36:25 DEVIL COMES ALONG AND WHAT DOES HE DO? 36:28 HE EXPOSES THEM PUBLICLY - BEFORE EVERYBODY ELSE - BEFORE 36:35 SOCIETY - BEFORE THEIR OWN FAMILY - EXPOSING THEIR EVILS, 36:41 BRINGING THEM UNDER CONDEMNATION, HUMILIATING THEM, 36:45 AND CRUSHING THEM AND DRIVING THEM TO DESPAIR. 36:51 SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE BEEN THERE. 36:53 I'M SURE SOME OF YOU HEARD OF THINGS LIKE THAT. 36:56 NOW, I'M NOT SAYING THAT IF YOU'RE A SERIAL MURDERER AND 36:59 IT'S DISCOVERED, THAT IT SHOULD BE KEPT UNDER WRAPS. 37:02 YOU KNOW, THINGS NEED TO BE, YOU KNOW, TAKEN CARE OF. 37:05 BUT, YOU KNOW, EVEN THEN THERE MAY BE SOMEBODY WHO LOST A CHILD 37:09 AT THE HANDS OF A MURDERER SO I WANT TO SPEAK SENSITIVELY HERE. 37:13 I'M SURE IT'S HARD TO FORGIVE. BUT, YOU KNOW, WHO WILL FORGIVE 37:18 IS JESUS. WHEN IT ALL COMES OUT AND YOU'RE 37:22 JUST - AND ALL THE MEDIA'S ON YOU AND EVERYBODY'S TALKING 37:26 ABOUT YOU AND YOU'RE SITTING IN A CELL. 37:29 THERE'S PEOPLE LIKE THAT RIGHT NOW. 37:32 THERE'S ONE PERSON WHO IS BESIDE THEM, WANTING THEM SO MUCH TO 37:37 TURN TO HIM BECAUSE, IN SPITE OF WHAT THEY'VE DONE, HE CAN 37:41 FORGIVE THEM AND HELP TO HEAL THEM. 37:45 AND THIS WOMAN HERE, THE WOMAN AT THE WELL - AND SUCH WAS THE 37:49 STRATEGY WHEN SHE WAS DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS SATAN'S STRATEGY NOT 37:56 JUST TO EXPOSE HER AND MAKE HER FEEL ROTTEN AND JUST DRIVE HER 38:00 TO DESPAIR, BUT HE HOPED - SATAN HOPED THAT HE COULD BRING ABOUT 38:06 TWO STONINGS INSTEAD OF ONE. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT 38:12 HERE. I WANT TO - ACTUALLY, LET'S GO READ JOHN CHAPTER 8, 38:16 VERSES 1 THROUGH 11 - JOHN 8, 1 THROUGH 11. 38:22 YOU GOT THIS WOMAN TAKEN HERE AND IT WAS NOT A GOOD SITUATION. 38:28 JOHN 8, 1 THROUGH 11, "JESUS WENT UNTO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES. 38:32 AND EARLY IN THE MORNING HE CAME AGAIN INTO THE TEMPLE, AND ALL 38:35 THE PEOPLE CAME UNTO HIM; AND HE SAT DOWN, AND TAUGHT THEM." 38:38 - VERSE 3 - "AND THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES BROUGHT UNTO HIM A 38:41 WOMAN TAKEN IN ADULTERY; AND WHEN THEY HAD SET HER IN THE 38:45 MIDST, THEY SAY UNTO HIM, MASTER," - OH, THEY THOUGHT THEY 38:48 HAD HIM NOW. THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD THE WOMAN 38:50 AND THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD JESUS - "THEY SAY UNTO HIM, 'MASTER, 38:54 THIS WOMAN WAS TAKEN IN ADULTERY, IN THE VERY ACT. 38:58 NOW MOSES IN THE LAW COMMANDED US, THAT SUCH SHOULD BE STONED: 39:03 BUT WHAT SAYEST THOU?' THIS THEY SAID, TEMPTING HIM, 39:08 THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE TO ACCUSE HIM." 39:13 - WHAT WOULD HAPPEN THERE IS, YOU KNOW, THE POSITION HERE - 39:15 THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD JESUS - IF HE SAID, 'YEAH, STONE THE WOMAN' 39:19 THEN THEY'D GO TELL THE ROMANS, YOU SEE? 39:21 BECAUSE THE JEWS WERE NOT ALLOWED, UNDER ROMAN 39:24 JURISDICTION, TO PASS THE DEATH SENTENCE OR TO EXECUTE THE DEATH 39:28 SENTENCE. THAT WAS THE PREROGATIVE OF ROME. 39:31 THAT'S WHY, WHEN THE PEOPLE WANTED TO CRUCIFY CHRIST, THEY 39:33 HAD TO GET PERMISSION FROM PILATE. 39:35 SO IF JESUS SAID, 'YEAH, STONE HER. 39:37 THAT'S WHAT THE LAW OF MOSES - LET HER HAVE IT. 39:39 I'LL BE THE FIRST ONE TO THROW THE ROCK!' 39:42 THEY WOULD HAVE GONE STRAIGHT TO THE ROMANS, 39:43 'YOU KNOW THIS GUY OVER HERE? 39:45 YOU KNOW HE'S USURPING THE AUTHORITY OF CAESAR OR PILATE?' 39:48 SO THEY THOUGHT, 'WE'VE GOT HIM NOW.' AND AT THE SAME TIME, IF 39:51 JESUS SAID, 'NO, DON'T STONE HER.' THEY'D GO TO THE REST OF 39:54 THE JEWS, 'DID YOU SEE THIS MAN? HE JUST DEFIED THE LAW. 39:58 THIS WOMAN SHOULD BE STONED AND HE SAID WE SHOULDN'T. 40:00 HE'S THROWING OUT THE LAW, THE PROPHETS, EVERYTHING.' SO THEY 40:02 THOUGHT THEY HAD HIM NAILED, RIGHT? 40:06 LET'S CARRY ON HERE. A LOT HAPPENED. 40:10 HALFWAY THROUGH VERSE 6, "BUT JESUS STOOPED DOWN, AND WITH HIS 40:17 FINGER WROTE ON THE GROUND, AS THOUGH HE HAD HEARD THEM NOT. 40:24 SO WHEN THEY CONTINUED ASKING HIM, HE LIFTED UP HIMSELF, AND 40:29 SAID UNTO THEM, HE THAT IS WITHOUT SIN AMONG YOU, LET HIM 40:34 FIRST CAST A STONE AT HER.' AND AGAIN HE STOOPED DOWN AND WROTE 40:41 ON THE GROUND." NOW, I LIKE THE WAY IT'S 40:45 DESCRIBED IN 'DESIRE OF AGES' - WITH TWO STROKES OF BRILLIANCE, 40:50 IF YOU LIKE. WITH TWO STROKES OF BRILLIANCE, 40:53 JESUS SILENCES THE PHARISEES, ZIPS THEM UP, SENDS THEM OFF. 40:59 THAT WAS A STROKE OF JUSTICE AND IT WAS JUST - I'LL GET BACK TO 41:05 IT IN JUST A MOMENT - EXPLAIN IT - AND ALSO WITH A STROKE OF 41:08 MERCY, THIS WOMAN IS PARDONED AND SET FREE. 41:13 JUST LIKE THAT - PFFT - PFFT. HOW DID HE DO THAT? 41:18 THE STROKE OF JUSTICE - IT SAYS HE WAS WRITING ON THE GROUND 41:21 HERE AND THESE MEN ARE SAYING, 'WHAT SAYEST THOU? 41:24 THIS WOMAN SHOULD BE STONED.' SO HE GETS DOWN ON THE GROUND. 41:27 YOU KNOW WHAT HE STARTS TO WRITE. 41:28 YOU KNOW WHAT HE STARTS TO WRITE. 41:29 HE'S WRITING OUT THEIR SINS AND HE KNEW THEIR NAMES. 41:32 SUPPOSE ONE OF THEM HERE IS CALLED JACOB - NEVER MET HIM 41:36 BEFORE BUT HE JUST LOOKS - 'SEE, I KNOW YOUR NAME. 41:39 THERE'S JACOB.' SO JACOB'S LOOKING. 41:43 JACOB SEES HIS NAME ON THE - HE'S JUST WRITING OUT JACOB'S 41:47 STUFF. 'WELL JACOB, YOU GOT ANYTHING 41:49 ELSE YOU WANT TO SAY?' JACOB SEES THAT AND SAYS, 'WELL, 41:52 YOU KNOW, I THINK I'D BETTER GO HOME.' THEN HE WRITES OUT THE 41:58 NEXT GUY'S NAME. HE'S LOOKING. 'OH, YOU KNOW WHAT? UM...I'VE 42:05 GOT TO GO.' SO FINALLY - FINALLY - FINALLY THEY'RE GONE. WHY? 42:10 BECAUSE IN JUSTICE JESUS WROTE DOWN THEIR SINS AND THEY 42:16 REALIZED - THIS IS WHY HE SAID, 'WHOEVER IS WITHOUT SIN, LET HIM 42:20 CAST THE FIRST STONE.' THEY WERE GONE. 42:22 AND THEN THE WOMAN, SHE'S STILL COWERING DOWN HERE, AND HAS 42:26 HEARD JESUS SAY, 'WHOEVER IS WITHOUT SIN, LET HIM CAST THE 42:30 FIRST STONE.' NOW SHE'S BEEN TAUGHT THAT THE PHARISEES AND 42:33 THE SCRIBES AND THE SADDUCEES - THEY'RE HOLY MEN - 42:35 THEY DON'T HAVE SIN. SO FOR SURE NOW THEY'RE GOING TO 42:37 THROW THESE ROCKS AT HER AND SHE'S WAITING THERE. 42:42 WHAT DOES IT SAY? LET'S GET BACK TO WHERE WE WERE. 42:45 WHERE WERE WE? 42:49 AND - VERSE 9 - "AND THEY WHICH HEARD IT, BEING CONVICTED BY 42:54 THEIR OWN CONSCIENCE, WENT OUT ONE BY ONE, BEGINNING AT THE 42:59 ELDEST," - SO HE GOT THE DIRTY OLD MEN FIRST, RIGHT? 43:06 BY THE WAY, ANY YOUNG MEN LISTENING, LET ME TELL YOU THIS: 43:11 THE REASON WHY DIRTY OLD MEN BECOME DIRTY OLD MEN IS BECAUSE 43:17 THEY BEGIN AS DIRTY YOUNG MEN. NEVER FORGET THAT. 43:22 AGE WON'T CHANGE YOU, JESUS WILL. 43:26 SO REMEMBER, HE STARTED WITH THE OLD MEN. 43:30 "BEGINNING AT THE ELDEST, EVEN UNTO THE LAST: AND JESUS WAS 43:35 LEFT ALONE, AND THE WOMAN STANDING IN THE MIDST. 43:39 WHEN JESUS HAD LIFTED UP HIMSELF, AND SAW NONE BUT THE 43:43 WOMAN, HE SAID UNTO TO HER," - I'D LOVED TO HAVE HEARD HIS 43:46 VOICE. YOU KNOW, THAT VOICE OF ONE WHO 43:48 WON'T BREAK A BRUISED REED OR SNUFF OUT A LITTLE WISP OF 43:55 SMOKING FLAX - HE SAID, "'WOMAN, WHERE ARE THOSE THINE ACCUSERS? 44:02 HATH NO MAN CONDEMNED THEE?' SHE SAID, 'NO MAN, LORD.' AND 44:10 JESUS SAID UNTO HER" - OH TO HAVE HEARD THAT VOICE - WHAT 44:13 THIS VOICE WOULD HAVE BEEN - MUST HAVE BEEN TO THIS WOMAN - 44:16 HE SAID, "NEITHER DO I CONDEMN THEE: GO, AND SIN NO MORE.'" 44:26 DID HE EXCUSE HER SIN? NOT FOR A SECOND. 44:31 DID SHE DESERVE TO BE STONED? ABSOLUTELY. 44:39 BUT THERE BEFORE HER WAS THE LAWGIVER - OF ALL PEOPLE - 44:46 DETERMINED TO UPHOLD HIS LAW. BUT IT WASN'T JUST THE LETTER OF 44:49 THE LAW, THAT LAW CAME FROM A HEART THAT IS REALLY A HEART OF 44:53 LOVE. AND WHILE THERE'S JUSTICE ON ONE 44:56 HAND, THERE'S MERCY ON THE OTHER FOR THOSE WHO DESIRE IT. 45:01 AND SO HE LOOKS AT THIS WOMAN AND HE SAYS, 'NEITHER DO I 45:03 CONDEMN THEE: GO, JUST DON'T DO IT AGAIN.' AND OFF SHE GOES. 45:12 YOU'LL FIND SOME OF THAT IN PASTOR DOUG'S BOOK, I'M SURE. 45:15 YOU KNOW, JESUS DID THAT TYPE - IN JOHN IT SAYS IF EVERYTHING 45:19 WAS WRITTEN ABOUT JESUS, IT SAID, THERE WON'T BE ENOUGH 45:21 BOOKS IN THE WORLD, RIGHT? THERE WOULDN'T. 45:23 I MEAN, YOU'D HAVE A LIBRARY - WHO KNOWS WHAT. 45:24 SO WHAT WE SEE WHEN WE READ THIS THING IS IT'S JUST THE TIP OF 45:27 THE ICEBERG. SO MANY, MANY, MANY ACCOUNTS WHERE 45:31 JESUS HAD EPISODES LIKE THIS WHERE HE SHOWED HE NEVER 45:36 PALLIATED SIN BUT HE FORGAVE. AND ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO SOCIETY 45:41 CAST OFF AS WORTHLESS. WHAT A WONDERFUL SAVIOR - TRULY. 45:47 NOW, I WANT TO MOVE DOWN HERE A LITTLE BIT HERE. 45:52 I GOT A BIT AHEAD OF MYSELF. 45:56 JESUS - YEAH, YOU KNOW, I BETTER MOVE ON. 45:59 NO, THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT. 46:03 IN THE JUDGMENT - ALL OUR CHARACTERS ARE GOING TO COME UP 46:07 IN THE JUDGMENT SO IF YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT YOUR 46:11 CHARACTER'S LIKE, BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO COME UP THERE, AND IF 46:15 YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT IT, THEN YOU'D BETTER PUT IT RIGHT, OKAY? 46:19 GO TO JESUS. SAY, 'LORD, I'M THIS. I'M THAT. I'M THE OTHER. 46:22 LORD, I HAVE TO CONFESS, I'VE BEEN A BOTTOM DWELLER.' AND 46:27 HE'LL SAY, 'IT'S ALRIGHT, I ALREADY KNEW ABOUT IT, BUT IT'S 46:29 GOOD FOR YOU TO RECOGNIZE YOURSELF, JUST WHERE YOU'RE AT.' 46:33 YOU CAN'T TELL HIM ANYTHING, BUT IT'S GOOD FOR US TO OPEN OUR 46:36 HEARTS BECAUSE IF WE DON'T THINK AND SEARCH OUR HEARTS, WE WON'T 46:40 KNOW WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO CONFESS AND PUT IT RIGHT. 46:44 AND HE WON'T COME IN AND TAKE IT OUT OF OUR HEARTS THAT WHICH WE 46:47 DON'T WANT HIM TO TAKE. SO YOU NEED TO COME TO JESUS 46:50 JUST AS YOU ARE. BUT THE WONDERFUL THING IS - 46:55 MIKE, COULD YOU GIVE ME 'GREAT CONTROVERSY', PLEASE? 46:58 THANK YOU MICHAEL. AS SATAN SOUGHT TO GET THIS 47:04 WOMAN CONDEMNED, THE ONE - THE WOMAN WHO WAS TAKEN IN ADULTERY 47:12 - AND ALSO TRIED TO GET JESUS STONED AT THE SAME TIME - IN THE 47:17 JUDGMENT, SATAN IS GOING TO SEEK TO SECURE OUR CONDEMNATION. 47:23 AND IN THE BOOK 'GREAT CONTROVERSY 4:84 - IT'S TWO 47:29 PARAGRAPHS - I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND BUT I'M GOING TO READ THEM 47:32 BECAUSE THEY'RE REALLY, REALLY GOOD AND IT'S BASED ON - IN THE 47:36 BOOK ZECHARIAH CHAPTER 6 - YOU KNOW, I NEVER REMEMBER IF IT'S 3 47:43 OR 6 - FORGIVE ME, ZECHARIAH CHAPTER 3. 47:45 IT SHOWS YOU JOSHUA, THE HIGH PRIEST, STANDING BEFORE GOD AND 47:49 THE DEVIL'S THERE TO ACCUSE HIM. HE'S COVERED IN FILTH BECAUSE 47:52 HE'S REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE AND HIS ROBES ARE COVERED WITH THE 47:55 FILTH OF THE PEOPLE'S SINS. AS HIGH PRIEST HE CARRIES THEM. 47:58 AND SATAN - YOU CAN READ IT IN ZECHARIAH 3 - AND HE TRYING TO - 48:02 SATAN'S THERE TRYING TO SECURE THE CONDEMNATION OF JOSHUA AND 48:06 ALSO THE PEOPLE. BUT ELLEN WHITE APPLIES THIS 48:10 HERE IN 'GREAT CONTROVERSY' P. 484, "WHILE JESUS IS PLEADING 48:16 FOR THE SUBJECTS OF HIS GRACE" - MANY OF WHOM HAVE BEEN BOTTOM 48:20 FEEDERS - "SATAN ACCUSES THEM BEFORE GOD AS TRANSGRESSORS. 48:27 THE GREAT DECEIVER HAS SOUGHT TO LEAD THEM INTO SKEPTICISM, TO 48:31 CAUSE THEM TO LOSE CONFIDENCE IN GOD, TO SEPARATE THEMSELVES FROM 48:35 HIS LOVE AND TO BREAK HIS LAW. NOW HE POINTS TO THE RECORD OF 48:39 THEIR LIVES, TO THE DEFECTS OF CHARACTER, THE UNLIKENESS OF 48:43 CHRIST, WHICH HAS DISHONORED THEIR REDEEMER. 48:45 TO ALL THE SINS THAT HE HAS TEMPTED THEM TO COMMIT AND, 48:49 BECAUSE OF THESE, HE CLAIMS THEM AS HIS SUBJECTS." 48:52 - YOU KNOW, THE DEVIL IS A LIAR. YOU KNOW THAT? 48:56 BUT WE'LL HAVE TO GIVE HIM CREDIT. 48:58 HE DOES EXAGGERATE SOME THINGS, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS HE 49:01 KNOWS ABOUT THAT HE CAN TELL GOD, WHICH ARE ABSOLUTELY TRUE, 49:04 RIGHT? SO SOMETIMES HE DOES SPEAK THE TRUTH TO SECURE OUR 49:09 CONDEMNATION. SO HERE HE IS. 49:12 AND IT SAYS IN THE NEXT SENTENCE, "JESUS DOES NOT EXCUSE 49:17 THEIR SINS" - HE DIDN'T EXCUSE THE SIN OF THE WOMAN CAUGHT IN 49:20 ADULTERY - HE NEVER DOES - "BUT SHOWS THEIR PENITENCE AND FAITH. 49:27 IN CLAIMING FOR THEM FORGIVENESS, HE LIFTS HIS 49:30 WOUNDED HANDS BEFORE THE FATHER AND THE HOLY ANGELS SAYING, 49:35 'I KNOW THEM BY NAME'." 49:39 IF THERE'S ANY BOTTOM FEEDER OUT THERE LOOKING AT THAT CAMERA - 49:42 WHICHEVER CAMERA - YOU MAY HAVE DONE YOUR WORST. 49:45 YOU MAY FEEL UNDER TERRIBLE CONDEMNATION. 49:48 THE DEVIL MAY BE COMING AND TELLING YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT 49:50 YOURSELF BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT? JESUS KNOWS YOU. 49:54 HE KNOWS YOU BY NAME - BUT JESUS KNOWS THEM BY NAME. 49:59 "I HAVE GRAVEN THEM ON THE PALMS OF MY HANDS. 50:03 THE SACRIFICES OF GOD ARE A BROKEN SPIRIT, A BROKEN AND A 50:10 CONTRITE HEART, O GOD, THAT WILT NOT DESPISE AND TO THE ACCUSER 50:15 OF HIS PEOPLE HE DECLARES, 'THE LORD REBUKE THEE, O SATAN, EVEN 50:21 A LORD THAT HATH CHOSEN JERUSALEM REBUKE THEE. 50:24 IS NOT THIS A BRAND PLUCKED OUT OF THE FIRE?'" - 50:28 SO THE DEVIL - JESUS TURNED AROUND TO THE ACCUSER AND SAID, 50:30 'I KNOW ABOUT THESE THINGS BUT THEY - SEE, THEY'RE PENITENT - 50:34 THEY'VE REPENTED - THEY BROUGHT BEFORE ME NOT SACRIFICES 50:37 CONSISTING OF MONEY OR GOOD WORKS, BUT THE SACRIFICE OF A 50:41 BROKEN AND A CONTRITE SPIRIT. THAT IS WHAT JESUS LOOKS FOR. 50:47 PRAISE GOD YOU DON'T HAVE TO PERFORM PENANCE. 50:49 YOU DON'T NEED ANY INDULGENCES. THE ONLY SACRIFICE YOU NEED TO 50:54 BRING IS A BROKEN AND A CONTRITE HEART. HE WILL NOT DESPISE THAT. 50:58 AND IF YOU WANT TO FEEL CONTRITE AND YOU CAN'T BECAUSE YOU'RE SO 51:01 HARD. YOU KNOW WHAT? IF YOU ASK HIM, HE'LL GIVE YOU THE ABILITY 51:04 TO REPENT. HIS GRACE IS SUCH THAT HE CAN 51:08 GIVE YOU A HEART THAT IS TRULY, SINCERELY BROKEN. 51:12 AND SO HE POINTS AND HE SAYS, 'OKAY, I HEAR YOUR ACCUSATIONS, 51:16 BUT THEY'VE REPENTED. I HAVE A RIGHT TO FORGIVE THEM 51:21 AND ATONE FOR THEIR SINS BECAUSE THOSE SINS THEY'VE REPENTED FOR, 51:24 I HAVE BORE THEM UPON MYSELF UPON THE CROSS. 51:27 SO, IN OTHER WORDS SATAN, ZIP UP.' AND THIS IS WHAT WE READ: 51:35 "CHRIST WILL CLOTHE HIS FAITHFUL ONES WITH HIS OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS 51:40 THAT HE MAY PRESENT THEM TO HIS FATHER A GLORIOUS CHURCH NOT 51:44 HAVING SPOT OR WRINKLE OR ANY SUCH THING. 51:48 THEIR NAMES STAND ENROLLED IN THE BOOK OF LIFE AND CONCERNING 51:52 THEM IT IS WRITTEN, 'THEY SHALL WALK WITH ME IN WHITE FOR THEY 51:57 ARE WORTHY." PRAISE THE LORD. 52:01 I'LL GIVE IT BACK TO YOU, MIKE, FOR AWHILE, THANK YOU. 52:03 I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. OKAY, LET'S GO ON TO TUESDAY, 52:07 'THE LOWEST OF THE LOW' - OKAY, WE'VE HAD - WHAT HAVE WE HAD? 52:10 'BOTTOM DWELLERS' AND NOW THE 'LOWEST OF THE LOW'. 52:13 WE'VE HAD THE - OKAY - WE'RE GOING LOWER, LOWER, LOWER DOWN 52:16 ON THE - ON THE TOTEM POLE HERE - DOWN TO THE BOTTOM. 52:24 OKAY, WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS MAN WHO - TERRIBLE - THE DEMONIAC - 52:32 IN MATTHEW 8 - YOU GET THE SAME STORY IN MATTHEW 8 IT'S TWO MEN 52:36 - IN MARK IT'S ONE MAN. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. 52:41 IT'S JUST TWO DIFFERENT BIBLE WRITERS - ONE REMEMBERS THERE'S 52:44 TWO - ONE IT'S ONE - THE MAIN THING IS THE STORY - THE 52:48 CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH THIS DEMONIAC WAS AND HOW JESUS 52:53 CONFRONTED THE EVIL THAT HAD POSSESSED HIM - OR THEM - AND 52:59 HOW HE DEALT WITH IT. SO I WANT TO READ - LET'S GO TO 53:06 MARK CHAPTER 5 - MARK CHAPTER 5 AND VERSES 1 THROUGH 5. 53:19 NOW, THE CONTEXT HERE, JESUS HAS JUST COME OVER THE SEA AND HE'S 53:23 JUST GOT THROUGH THE STORM, RIGHT? 53:25 THE TERRIBLE STORM AND HE SAYS, 'PEACE BE STILL' AND THE WIND 53:29 WENT AWAY, THE WAVES WENT AWAY, AND THE MOON CAME OUT AND - BUT 53:34 HERE, IT'S - THEY GET OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE, VERSE 1 - MARK 53:38 CHAPTER 5, "AND THEY CAME OVER UNTO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SEA, 53:42 INTO THE COUNTRY OF THE GADARENES. 53:44 AND WHEN HE WAS COME OUT OF THE SHIP, IMMEDIATELY THERE MET HIM 53:48 OUT OF THE TOMBS A MAN WITH AN UNCLEAN SPIRIT, WHO HAD HIS 53:53 DWELLING AMONG THE TOMBS; AND NO MAN COULD BIND HIM, NO, NOT WITH 53:57 CHAINS: BECAUSE THAT HE HAD BEEN OFTEN BOUND WITH FETTERS AND 54:01 CHAINS, AND THE CHAINS HAD BEEN PLUCKED ASUNDER BY HIM, AND THE 54:05 FETTERS BROKEN IN PIECES: NEITHER COULD ANY MAN TAME HIM. 54:09 AND ALWAYS, NIGHT AND DAY, HE WAS IN THE MOUNTAINS, AND IN THE 54:12 TOMBS, CRYING, AND CUTTING HIMSELF WITH STONES." 54:17 NOW, YOU CAN BE SURE AS JESUS GETS OUT WITH THE DISCIPLES - 54:21 WHAT DO THE DISCIPLES DO? THEY GET OUT OF THERE. 54:23 THEY RUN AWAY. THIS MAN MUST HAVE BEEN A 54:24 TERRIBLE SIGHT - JUST TOTALLY POSSESSED BY EVIL. 54:32 HE STOOD THERE WITH THE POWER THAT HE POSSESSED AS A HUMAN 54:35 BEING THAT RECEIVED THAT FAITH AND THAT TRUST FROM HIS HEAVENLY 54:39 FATHER THAT MADE HIM REALIZE HE DIDN'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID OF 54:42 ANYTHING. SO HE STOOD HIS GROUND AND HE 54:45 RAISES HIS HAND TO THIS MAN AND THIS DEMONIAC STOPS RIGHT THERE. 54:50 AND, OF COURSE, AS YOU READ THE STORY, YOU FIND OUT THAT THIS 54:53 MAN IS POSSESSED NOT WITH ONE DEMON, BUT WITH A LEGION. 54:57 AND IN A ROMAN LEGION THERE WERE THREE TO FIVE THOUSAND MEN. 55:02 SO THIS MAN HERE IS POSSESSED BY A MINIMUM OF THREE THOUSAND 55:07 DEMONS. JESUS CAN SEE - HE'S PROBABLY 55:09 SEEN THEM ALL. HE STANDS THERE. 55:13 THEY DON'T COME ANY FURTHER AND HE REBUKES THEM AND THEY COME 55:19 OUT. AND I WISH I COULD TELL YOU THE 55:22 REST OF THE STORY BUT OUR TIME'S GONE. 55:26 >>IN 3 - 2 - 1 - ACTION! 55:30 (DRAMATIC MUSIC) 55:38 >>THIS DOCUMENTARY COVERS A SPAN FROM THE FIRST COMING OF JESUS 55:44 AND WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE CHURCH UP UNTIL JUST BEFORE THE 55:48 SECOND COMING OF JESUS.
