Hey everybody.
2
:Welcome to Saturday's edition
of the Daily Bible Podcast.
3
:Hey everybody, hope you're
having a great Saturday.
4
:Great Saturday.
5
:Yeah, an excellent Saturday, an
excellent, a stupendous a super Saturday.
6
:My kids don't have soccer today
because fall, break and prosper.
7
:So all that's off.
8
:I've got.
9
:One of my kids has basketball, so I'm
taking him to his basketball game.
10
:Yeah.
11
:So we have a T-ball game.
12
:Okay.
13
:So we might be there right
now as you're listening to it.
14
:I don't know why there's no
softball, but there's a T-ball
15
:game, so who's doing T-ball?
16
:I am.
17
:Oh, no.
18
:Okay.
19
:Well, I figured it was
either you or Julia.
20
:Lincoln's t-Ball guy.
21
:How's he doing with that?
22
:He's great.
23
:That's awesome.
24
:He's great.
25
:He was very proud 'cause he was
the second fastest on his team.
26
:That's great.
27
:So you know the things that
matter to a 4-year-old.
28
:Totally.
29
:Does he run the right
direction on the base path?
30
:He does.
31
:That's a win.
32
:He does.
33
:Which it is a win.
34
:And at this age and with T-Ball.
35
:That's sort of the victories
that you're looking for.
36
:Yeah.
37
:And when in the field, when the
balls hit and all seven kids in
38
:the field collapse on the ball.
39
:That's right.
40
:It's a dog pile for the ball.
41
:That's right.
42
:And you have to remind them, no, you're
actually part of the same team and
43
:it's just as good as you getting it
as your co whatever player, teammate.
44
:There we go.
45
:That's the word I was looking for.
46
:Yeah, that's it's tough word.
47
:Well, and then one kid
comes up like victorious.
48
:Meanwhile, the kid has already
hit first base like 30 seconds.
49
:That's right.
50
:But he still makes the third
of first base as though he is
51
:like hoping to get them out.
52
:Yeah.
53
:And then there's probably
not anybody at first base No.
54
:Goes because he was also in the dog pile.
55
:Yeah.
56
:And then the kid running the bases
is now an outfield for some reason.
57
:Right.
58
:And right.
59
:And there's usually nose
picking that happens.
60
:And far too much of it.
61
:Flowers picking those off the ground.
62
:Yeah.
63
:We have one kid on the team.
64
:Yeah.
65
:Who throws his bat?
66
:Okay, so that's really exciting.
67
:Like he hits when he hits, okay.
68
:Then he releases the bat and
just lets it go and the bat
69
:goes inevitably into somebody.
70
:But so everybody's gonna duck
when that kid's up to bat.
71
:It's not Lincoln, by the way.
72
:Okay, well just double checking in there.
73
:Yeah.
74
:Lincoln only throws his bat into anger.
75
:He's just like, man, I struck out
hard to do in T-ball or bat flip, you
76
:know, it goes well or bat flip that.
77
:Yep, yep.
78
:I could see that too.
79
:Yeah.
80
:But it's awesome.
81
:At the same time, man, just watching
them figure out, okay, how does
82
:this work and how do we do this?
83
:And it's amazing to see the brains
that God gave them For sure.
84
:Developing and figuring
these things out For sure.
85
:And sometimes not
figuring these things out.
86
:Yeah.
87
:It's fun and it's a good
thing, which parents.
88
:It's okay to let your kid
not continue in sports.
89
:Like if you have a kid that you
just recognize as like he doesn't
90
:wanna be there or she doesn't
wanna be out there, like you
91
:don't have to keep them out there.
92
:Right.
93
:You can let them go explore
and do something else.
94
:It's gonna be okay.
95
:That's right.
96
:Music.
97
:Yeah.
98
:Or.
99
:Art Adventure Club.
100
:Adventure Club Club.
101
:They should come to Adventure Club.
102
:They could come to Adventure Club.
103
:Everybody.
104
:They should do that.
105
:Everybody should come to Adventure Club.
106
:Yes.
107
:There's nobody who's
bad at Adventure Club.
108
:That's true.
109
:Yeah, because it, when you
get to Kid Pitch, it's the
110
:first year of Kid pitch is.
111
:It's the longest year of sports
ever because these kids are, for
112
:the first time, expected to throw
strikes and they do every single time.
113
:Right?
114
:And that's where you love the empire.
115
:That gives a strike zone that's like
four times bigger than it should be.
116
:Even if your kid strikes out, you get it.
117
:You're like, no, I get it.
118
:I get it.
119
:That was six feet over his head.
120
:But you had to call to strike because
Yeah, because we're only the kid.
121
:There's no way only two
batterson into the first inning.
122
:Right.
123
:And this kid is never gonna get it.
124
:In the strike zone, what the
normal strike zone would be.
125
:So six feet over strike.
126
:Okay, we're good?
127
:Yep, that's fine.
128
:Yeah.
129
:That's crazy.
130
:But anyways, you're not here to
hear us talk about kid sports.
131
:You're here to hear us talk about.
132
:The daily Bible reading.
133
:So let's do that.
134
:Matthew chapter nine.
135
:And Luke chapter seven.
136
:Matthew nine.
137
:We've got some familiar
text that we've covered.
138
:In fact, it opens with the
pastor Rod is leaving right now.
139
:He's leaving us.
140
:He's.
141
:He's abandoning his post, by the way.
142
:He's taking a class if
you didn't know that.
143
:He is not right now, I guess.
144
:But he was taking a class, which
is why he's not on the podcast.
145
:Faithful friends.
146
:You've got the friends that go
up on the roof and lower their
147
:friend down through the roof.
148
:And again, Jesus' interaction there.
149
:Son, your sins are forgiven.
150
:And the Pharisees grumbling
and Jesus knowing that they're
151
:grumbling in their hearts, says
to them, Hey, which is easier.
152
:And then he flexes his God card
and says that you may know that I
153
:have the authority to forgive sins.
154
:I say to you, rise, pick
up your bed and go home.
155
:And he does that.
156
:And, every time I'm like,
okay, why didn't they believe?
157
:Yeah.
158
:Why didn't they believe?
159
:And it's just a reminder.
160
:'cause sometimes we think to
ourselves, why doesn't God still
161
:do miracles today in the same way?
162
:Because then everyone would believe, yeah.
163
:At least that's what we think, right?
164
:That's what we think.
165
:And this is a good reminder to
us that that's just not true.
166
:Yeah.
167
:And so for us to think, if God would
just let me do a healing service, or
168
:if God would, do a miracle, then my
unbelieving neighbor would believe in him.
169
:Not necessarily.
170
:Yeah.
171
:And even more so because these
guys, the deck was stacked
172
:in their favor to believe.
173
:'cause they're the ones that knew the
Old Testament backwards and forwards.
174
:They were waiting for the Messiah.
175
:They should and is, they should
have that every single reason.
176
:You're exactly right.
177
:For sure.
178
:And they don't believe, yeah.
179
:I mean I've have heard
churches say that we should.
180
:We should do healings in our churches
because that's gonna draw people
181
:in, that's gonna appeal to people.
182
:And I, I think maybe that there's
some little bit of truth to that,
183
:but this is evidence that that's
actually not the thing that is
184
:ultimately gonna appeal to people.
185
:And those things are not gonna appeal
to people for the right reasons.
186
:Right?
187
:We need to be a church that appeals
to people based on the gospel and.
188
:It's evidenced here that even when Jesus
himself does miracles, heals people.
189
:It doesn't draw people
for the right reasons.
190
:And you see that evident well in the,
it's just a reminder too of second
191
:Corinthians four, that the God of
the world has blinded the eyes of
192
:the lost to keep them from seeing
the light of the glory of the gospel.
193
:And we need the light of Christ to shine
in our hearts, as Paul says there, to
194
:give us the ability to believe in him.
195
:It's not a matter of convincing
them through the evidence.
196
:It's a matter of God doing the work to
open blind eyes to cause them to see.
197
:Yeah, and they should have known, this is
a callback to Daniel seven, and then they
198
:just go, oh, well it's just another guy.
199
:But wow.
200
:It's amazing that God gave another
guy just a regular guy, right.
201
:These sort of powers and the right to
identify that he has a powers, they're
202
:even Right, I think to be afraid.
203
:Right.
204
:In some sense, their right to glorify
God, although they've, they're off
205
:course with why they're glorifying God.
206
:Yeah.
207
:Yeah.
208
:We've got the call of Matthew,
which again, we've seen in
209
:some of the other gospels.
210
:It's interesting, the other gospel
writers refer to him as Levi.
211
:Matthew refers to himself as Matthew,
and so I wonder what's going on there.
212
:Just an interesting observation.
213
:He says that he saw a man called Matthew
which is our author of this gospel.
214
:And so he's recording this.
215
:You've got the statement again here
of Jesus came not for those that.
216
:Are healthy, but those that are
sick, spiritually sick, that is.
217
:And then he gives this statement,
go and learn what this means.
218
:I desire mercy and not sacrifice
for, I came to call the, not
219
:the righteous but sinners.
220
:And that, is a callback
there to the Old Testament.
221
:And specifically it's a
callback to Hosea six, six.
222
:And.
223
:This is Jesus saying, look, God is
not so much after the external Again,
224
:we talked about that in yesterday's
episode with the heart and the Sermon
225
:on the Mount, but he's after the heart.
226
:He's after what's on the inside.
227
:And again here, they're condemning
Jesus for being externally unclean
228
:in their eyes by fellowshipping
with tax collectors and sinners.
229
:And Jesus is saying, look I'm after not
they're external, but they're internal.
230
:And so that's why I'm here is for the
people that recognize they've got an
231
:internal problem, which is their sickness.
232
:Yeah.
233
:So we're not.
234
:Pharisees in the true sense of a Pharisee.
235
:What are some of the temptations,
though that might be akin to what the
236
:Pharisees had for us here in Texas today?
237
:Are there, I know it's
not gonna be the same.
238
:Yeah.
239
:But are there some things that we
might be, even in our church, even with
240
:Faithful Bible teaching, be tempted
to do wrongly and to look at those
241
:outward things and not at our hearts?
242
:Yeah.
243
:I think.
244
:That we can conflate
patriotism with Christianity.
245
:Mm-hmm.
246
:And I think that's a big danger
for us that can become sical.
247
:I've said it and we've talked about
it multiple times, but God has
248
:brought the nations to our back door.
249
:And we have people living around us
and there's a lot of people that even
250
:in the church that have looked at
that and been like, I don't like that.
251
:Mm-hmm.
252
:And I don't want it to be this way and I
want to go back to the way it used to be.
253
:And I think Jesus would say,
Hey they need a physician.
254
:Mm-hmm.
255
:Your Hindu neighbor across the
street, they need a physician that
256
:your Muslim neighbor on your kid's
soccer team, they need a physician.
257
:They need me, and that's why they're here.
258
:So I think that's one big area that
we gotta guard against being Sal
259
:about is, is to say, well, you're
different and I don't like it, and
260
:I don't like what you stand for.
261
:I'm not saying that you have to love the
fact that they're worshiping false gods
262
:in what they stand for as far as that
goes, but to love them and see the need.
263
:There, I think is a.
264
:An area that I'd say I, I pray
that I get better at that and that
265
:we all get better at seeing them
and saying, man, they need Jesus.
266
:Yeah.
267
:And it's about loving the person, right?
268
:Yeah.
269
:Not just loving in
general or being loving.
270
:Obviously you have to do those
things, but you need to also love.
271
:The individual people.
272
:Right.
273
:And if you've got a neighbor who
even maybe has a different political
274
:background, but certainly if they
are a Hindu or a Muslim mm-hmm.
275
:You need to love that individual person.
276
:Mm-hmm.
277
:And it can be really easy to
lump them in with other things
278
:or to categorize or just to.
279
:To dismiss them.
280
:When God has called you, whatever the
political situation is, he's called
281
:you to love your next door neighbor.
282
:Yep.
283
:Or the person down the street.
284
:Yep.
285
:Yep.
286
:Yeah.
287
:Matthew also records the
question about fasting.
288
:We've covered that a couple times
already here, but it shows up again
289
:here again, the synoptic gospels,
Matthew, mark, and Luke, you're gonna.
290
:Find a lot of common ground covered in
all of these different gospels, written
291
:from different perspectives, again, with
a different purpose from the author,
292
:but similar events that are gonna
be here because they were all there.
293
:Luke was not an eyewitness,
neither was Mark, although Mark
294
:was recording Peter's testimony, so
sort of an eyewitness once removed.
295
:But Matthew was there.
296
:And so Matthew's recording this.
297
:And then we find a situation
that we haven't come across yet,
298
:although we will again in Mark
chapter five and Luke chapter eight.
299
:And that is this situation with Jairus.
300
:And Jairus is the one who Jesus
is, approached by a ruler.
301
:It says just in, in Matthew's
gospel, but Mark and Luke both
302
:record that his name was Jairus.
303
:And so the ruler comes and says,
my daughter has died, and I
304
:need somebody to come and savor.
305
:And it's interesting that this ruler
realizes that Jesus can do that.
306
:Mm-hmm.
307
:And so Jesus says, okay
I'll come with you.
308
:And on the way the, there's a woman
there who had been, who had a discharge
309
:for 12 years, and she comes up and just
wants to be made well and reaches out
310
:just to touch the fringe of his garment.
311
:And Jesus stops and realizes
the power has left him.
312
:And we've read more in depth
in Luke's gospel about his
313
:interaction with this woman.
314
:But it's fascinating that he
looks at her and says, your
315
:faith has made you well go and.
316
:Instantly it says the woman was made well.
317
:And she goes on from there.
318
:So, just an amazing encounter there.
319
:And I can only imagine gyrus and the
impatience of going, yeah, can but
320
:my daughter, can we just move on?
321
:And then he comes to the
house, everybody's there.
322
:He says she's sleeping.
323
:They laugh at him.
324
:They, he puts them out.
325
:Luke is gonna tell us that he's only gonna
take the inner three, which are Peter,
326
:James, and John up into the room with him.
327
:And he's going to take
her and resuscitate her.
328
:Not resurrect, 'cause resurrection
means never to die again.
329
:But he's gonna resuscitate her.
330
:He is gonna bring her back from death
to life and give her back to her family.
331
:So just a fascinating.
332
:Interaction here in, in this middle
part of John, of Matthew nine.
333
:I love this two reasons.
334
:First is, as a dad with a daughter
I can sympathize, empathize, yeah.
335
:So deeply with this.
336
:And it brings me such
comfort to know that that.
337
:I follow a God who has this sort of power.
338
:Mm-hmm.
339
:And this sort of love
for me and for my family.
340
:And I know Jesus isn't walking
and doing things like this, but
341
:he's the same God with the same
heart cares for me and my family.
342
:The other reason I love it is this
is one of the first stories that
343
:Edith, my oldest daughter, began
to like, wrap her mind around and
344
:could remember as That's awesome.
345
:As a little kid.
346
:That's awesome.
347
:She called it the sick girl.
348
:Yeah, the sick girl.
349
:And I can't imitate her, little
2-year-old lisp, but man, I love
350
:the story for that reason as well.
351
:, even in her room, we actually framed the
page from the little beginner's bible.
352
:That's awesome.
353
:Of this story.
354
:Just 'cause just as a sweet memory.
355
:Totally.
356
:Yeah.
357
:And there's so much here too, right?
358
:I mean, that's all of us.
359
:We're all in that desperation.
360
:We're all in this situation where
nothing from the world can help us.
361
:Right?
362
:Yeah.
363
:Because it talks about I think in Matthew
and also in Luke, this woman had been
364
:to so many other doctors to try to deal
with her problem and our sin problem.
365
:We look.
366
:Get so many other places in the world
to try to deal with our sin problem.
367
:And there's only one place that we can go
to find relief from sin to find healing.
368
:And that's Jesus.
369
:And this woman represents that for us.
370
:And so it's neat that Matthew's recording
things like that for us that we can now
371
:through the lens of the gospel understand
with so much more depth and profundity.
372
:Yeah.
373
:But that's awesome.
374
:Yeah.
375
:Yeah, yeah.
376
:From here, again, speaking of another.
377
:Miracle that points to a greater
reality is these two blind men that
378
:Jesus passes by who see more than so
many other people do, because they
379
:recognize, they say, have mercy on us.
380
:Son of David.
381
:That's a Messianic title.
382
:Whether this faith is fully baked
at this point, I don't think so,
383
:but they know enough to think,
okay, Jesus may be the Messiah.
384
:So they're gonna call out
there and he is going to.
385
:Heal them.
386
:They're gonna, he's gonna call
them to him and say, do you
387
:believe that I'm able to do this?
388
:And they say yes, and then he
heals them according to their faith.
389
:So again the faith that's necessary
to give sight to the blind.
390
:And that's the gospel again, right
here in Matthew chapter nine.
391
:I know we've talked about these
sort of things before, but
392
:let's just go over it again.
393
:If I have enough faith.
394
:Is Jesus gonna heal me
of my ailments today?
395
:Yes.
396
:Yes.
397
:Yes, he is.
398
:Let's move on.
399
:No.
400
:No.
401
:And that's not it.
402
:That's not the point.
403
:Right.
404
:Jesus is doing these things.
405
:He's revealing his glory.
406
:That's right.
407
:As Jesus says in John chapter two
manifesting his glory in . Giving us
408
:pictures and glimpses into the kingdom.
409
:But that's why the opening one that
we talked about is so important
410
:because the greater need was,
son, your sins are forgiven.
411
:And the same thing with these blind men.
412
:Their greater needs was that their
sins would be forgiven for this woman.
413
:The greater need was that she
would be healed from the discharge,
414
:not that they would be given the
physical healing that they're after.
415
:Yeah.
416
:God does that out of mercy for them.
417
:That's right.
418
:And I think it can be so easy to read.
419
:These stories through the wrong lens.
420
:Yeah.
421
:Which is, it's about me.
422
:It's about service to me where this is
revealing Jesus to be the son of man.
423
:Yeah.
424
:To be the son of David and it's about him.
425
:Mm-hmm.
426
:And obviously mysteriously and
wonderfully we get included in that.
427
:Mm-hmm.
428
:But it's, this is about him.
429
:This is about Jesus.
430
:Yeah.
431
:Yeah.
432
:Well, let's jump to Luke chapter
seven, and I know we've got
433
:some more in Matthew nine.
434
:There's a mute man who's healed
the harvest is plentiful.
435
:The laborers are few.
436
:Pray for those to the Lord to raise up.
437
:Laborers to send out into his harvest.
438
:Man, that's, there's so much good there.
439
:But for the sake of time on
our podcast here, let's jump
440
:over to Luke chapter seven.
441
:Opens with the Centurion servant.
442
:We talked about this already
in Matthew chapter eight.
443
:What's different here is Luke records
that it wasn't the servant that
444
:came to Jesus, but that the servant
sent his, or that the centurion
445
:rather sent his servant to Jesus.
446
:So it wasn't the centurion himself,
which is what Matthew said.
447
:Luke said he sent his servant
pastor Mark, do we need to be.
448
:Perplexed and.
449
:Up in arms about the fact that
Luke and Matthew disagree on that?
450
:Yes.
451
:Yes.
452
:Okay.
453
:I mean, cool.
454
:You answered my question
really simply, and so.
455
:I say yes, I think we should
be in despair over this.
456
:Okay.
457
:Well, that's today's episode
of the Daily Bible Podcast.
458
:No, of course not.
459
:Of course not.
460
:We have to study these things carefully.
461
:I think we also have to recognize
that we've got three synoptic gospels
462
:that are consistent and consistency.
463
:Isn't gonna mean precision in the sense of
how we normally think about these things.
464
:Right?
465
:Right, for sure.
466
:And Matthew was probably after the nuts
and bolts of what was going on here.
467
:Whereas as Luke is different.
468
:Luke is more in the weeds.
469
:And that's Luke's character,
that's who Luke is.
470
:He's a physician, he's a scientist.
471
:He's gonna investigate, he's.
472
:Interviewing people, whereas
Matthew is kind of telling the
473
:stories as he recalled them.
474
:And this is whether it was the
man or the servant the servant
475
:was the representative of the man.
476
:And so in essence, it was the
centurion that was there with Jesus
477
:saying, come and heal my servant.
478
:Yeah, I don't think this should give you.
479
:Pause to be, to doubt the
scriptures or to doubt things.
480
:I think you're right, pastor Mark,
there's gonna be a difference in our
481
:perspective that's going to, we're
gonna remember details differently.
482
:Yeah.
483
:And this doesn't mean that
the Bible has errors in it.
484
:It just means that there's different
perspectives, different purposes
485
:behind what people are writing there.
486
:Yeah.
487
:And that's what I mean by precision.
488
:So don't mishear me saying like,
oh, the Bibles and Precise,
489
:or the Bible is inaccurate.
490
:Yeah.
491
:It is a challenging thing though
for believers , to wrestle with.
492
:There's ways to wrestle with it
correctly, and of course there's
493
:wrong ways to do that for sure.
494
:In Luke seven, 11 through 17, we've
got the raising of the widow's son.
495
:And again, this is Jesus rising someone
from the dead resuscitating them.
496
:This is his power over death.
497
:A lot of times we just think about
Lazarus, but he did this multiple times
498
:in his ministry and so he does this and
he does this in front of the crowds, and
499
:their response is fear and amazement,
and his fame continues to spread.
500
:At that point or shortly after this,
John the Baptist who's in prison, he
501
:sends a message to Jesus saying, Hey,
are you the guy or are you not the guy?
502
:And Jesus says to those that
were sent, Hey, go tell John what
503
:you've heard and what you've seen.
504
:And he quotes from Malachi three and,
or sorry, he quotes about himself
505
:from Isaiah chapter 29 and Isaiah
chapter 35 saying, I'm doing the
506
:things that the Messiah was gonna do.
507
:So wait and trust.
508
:Then he praises John the Baptist as
somebody who, among human beings,
509
:there's not one that has been born
that's greater than John, and yet he says
510
:the one that's least in the kingdom of
heaven is gonna be greater than John.
511
:So some interesting eschatological insight
there into what heaven is gonna be like.
512
:Even as far as the.
513
:Gradation in ranking in
heaven and things like that.
514
:But Jesus is fond of John.
515
:John's curious 'cause John's in prison
and he's like, Hey anytime you wanna
516
:be the Messiah, like, I'm ready.
517
:So I think we get some
of John's hu John in.
518
:Not that John's not human, human, but I
think we get some of John's frailty here.
519
:Yeah.
520
:And Jesus, in a moment of compassion,
mercy says to his disciples, go tell John
521
:what you've seen and what you've heard.
522
:I'm fulfilling things that
Messiah's supposed to do.
523
:Yeah.
524
:In a really kind way saying like,
you should know this too, right?
525
:Like, right.
526
:This is here's the evidence of this.
527
:Right.
528
:And here's why you should
believe these things.
529
:And you're right.
530
:I think you do see John's frailty.
531
:You see his humanity.
532
:And that's not inconsistent
with the other prophets.
533
:Yep.
534
:And that's different.
535
:That what Great point
we've been seeing Jesus do.
536
:Yep.
537
:Being one who speaks with
authority, unlike all the others.
538
:Yep.
539
:And it's.
540
:Still good that John the
Baptist is John the Baptist.
541
:Oh yeah.
542
:But we also need to recognize that John
the Baptist wasn't the final answer.
543
:It's Jesus who was For sure, for sure.
544
:The end of Luke chapter seven
is just another amazing picture
545
:of Jesus' love for the lost.
546
:And here you have him come to dinner
at the house of a Pharisee whose
547
:name was Simon and he's there.
548
:And it was tradition at the time that.
549
:The host would have somebody, a servant,
or if the servant was available, the host
550
:would do it to wash the feet of the guest.
551
:It was a way to honor the guest.
552
:It was something that was
considered pretty commonplace.
553
:It wasn't always, but a Pharisee should
have had the means to be able to do this.
554
:Meanwhile, this woman comes a
sinful woman, and we can, basically
555
:leave the unsaid as to what
probably her sinfulness was here.
556
:And she begins weeping in her tears,
is what she uses to wipe to wash
557
:his feet and wipes his feet with
her hair and kisses them as she
558
:anoints them with even ointment.
559
:And Simon's incensed by this and says,
man, this woman is, I know who she is.
560
:I know the type of woman she is.
561
:And clearly he doesn't, because if
he did, he would stop her and she.
562
:It is then commended by Jesus in that
sweet moment where he says, Simon, she's
563
:been forgiven much, so she loves much.
564
:The implication is, Simon, you don't
feel like you need to be forgiven at all.
565
:And so your love for me is very minimal.
566
:Yeah.
567
:It's convicting.
568
:It is.
569
:It is, and I, but I think it's also
encouraging in the sense that we, if
570
:we're struggling to love somebody.
571
:There's somebody difficult
at work, or maybe it's our
572
:neighbor or whoever it is there.
573
:Here's a clear way in which we can grow
that love for those people's by washing
574
:their feets by, yes, that's right.
575
:Knock on your neighbor's nore with a bowl.
576
:Yeah.
577
:Say hey and cry, and then wipe
their feet with your hair.
578
:You took all the air out of what
I was saying, but sorry, go.
579
:No, but you were saying we can love
our neighbors by, by, by remembering
580
:how much we've been forgiven.
581
:Totally.
582
:And if we are people who are constantly
remembering what God did for us while
583
:we were enemies of him it's gonna make
it a lot easier to love those people
584
:who we struggle to love For sure.
585
:A hundred percent agree, man.
586
:Yeah.
587
:Well, there you go.
588
:Let's let's pray and then we'll
be done with the another episode.
589
:Lord, we have all, if we are in Christ,
been forgiven so much and help us to
590
:remember that so that we will love you
much to be reminded just day after day
591
:of how great your mercy has been to us.
592
:In fact, we'll talk about it even
tomorrow because once we had not
593
:received Mer Mercy, but now we have
received mercy, and that is such a good
594
:thing that you have not given us what
we deserve, which is the full wrath.
595
:Of that is our sins are worthy of.
596
:And just like this
woman, she was a sinner.
597
:She was guilty, she was
somebody that was immoral.
598
:And yet she had been forgiven because
of the faith that she would possess.
599
:And her faith was not yet what it would
be because she didn't fully understand
600
:how Jesus was gonna deliver her.
601
:But she understood enough.
602
:So Jesus commenced her,
well, we wanna be like her.
603
:We want to understand how much
we've been forgiven, and we wanna
604
:love you much by by extension.
605
:And so, God we look
forward to even to get.
606
:To eternity to find out
the questions we may have.
607
:Like, was this Mary Magdalene
and was this because she hadn't
608
:had the demons cast out of her?
609
:And so many questions that maybe we
have and one, one day we'll know.
610
:But for now Lord, we, we just love
the example and we love the example
611
:of our savior and his love for
her and his love for us, since we
612
:pray all this in Jesus name, amen.
613
:Amen.
614
:Keep her in your Bibles.
615
