Speaker:

Hey everyone.

2

:

Welcome back to another edition

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

3

:

Hello.

4

:

Hello.

5

:

Monday, November 10th.

6

:

We are trucking our way

through November already.

7

:

That's right.

8

:

By the way, we are planning, I've had some

people ask everyone is asking actually.

9

:

Of course they are.

10

:

We are planning to do the Turkey

bowl again on Thanksgiving morning.

11

:

Oh.

12

:

And so, yeah, we're, I

had not heard about that.

13

:

We're getting that lined up.

14

:

We're gonna get the the park

space from Frontier Park again.

15

:

And I believe we're trying to get it

reserved from seven to 11, so I don't know

16

:

exactly the details of when we'll gather

there to hang out and play, but if you'd

17

:

like to do that, we'd love to have you

and hopefully you'll you'll enjoy that.

18

:

You know where I am right now as

people are listening to this, probably.

19

:

Lemme guess.

20

:

You're at the roller rink.

21

:

I'm not at the roller rink.

22

:

That is a good guess.

23

:

That is not where you're at.

24

:

Don't bear 'em all.

25

:

Shocking.

26

:

I'm not there either.

27

:

I'll go ahead and tell you.

28

:

You are camping on, you're

camping in front of Lowe's

29

:

for their Black Friday sales.

30

:

Yeah, the new Lowe's.

31

:

That's not even yet the new one.

32

:

Yeah, that's where I'm you are at Sephora.

33

:

Buying the latest line of

fashion and makeup for your wife?

34

:

I would've for her birthday,

which was in October.

35

:

. Well, for next year.

36

:

You're ahead of the game.

37

:

I'm just that early.

38

:

You're that early on those things.

39

:

I am actually, you are at, go ahead.

40

:

I'm with Mike Clementi and Paul Peon

and we are playing golf at this Experian

41

:

golf tournament over at the Cowboys Club,

which it's apparently supposed to be like

42

:

32 degrees overnight on Sunday night.

43

:

That's awesome.

44

:

So.

45

:

Good.

46

:

I'm likely very cold in

doing that right now, too.

47

:

Well, but no, Mike asked me to play

and I was happy to lend my presence.

48

:

I don't know how if I'm lending any skill

to that, but to lend my presence to that.

49

:

So it should be fun.

50

:

Yeah.

51

:

How many holes are you guys playing?

52

:

All 18, believe it or not.

53

:

18.

54

:

All 18.

55

:

You gonna be there all day?

56

:

Well, no, it's 'cause it, it's a,

so we used to play in the Focal

57

:

point tournament occasionally.

58

:

Oh yes.

59

:

And that was 18, but that

would start later in the day.

60

:

This one, it's 8:30 AM is go

time, so we're gonna be done by

61

:

like 2:00 PM probably in, I'm

tired just thinking about it.

62

:

Yeah, in cold.

63

:

I'm not cold about that.

64

:

Well, it can be indoors, but

I am tired about just nah.

65

:

Yeah.

66

:

God bless you on that.

67

:

Yeah, it'll be fun.

68

:

It.

69

:

Yeah.

70

:

Who's doing it?

71

:

You, Mike.

72

:

And who else?

73

:

Paul Pay.

74

:

Paul Payon.

75

:

Okay.

76

:

Yeah.

77

:

So who's carrying the

weight on this thing?

78

:

I don't know.

79

:

Paul's son, Tim beat me the other day.

80

:

That's true.

81

:

I mean, that was about a month ago now.

82

:

But that beat you up?

83

:

Yeah, he did.

84

:

He beat me up.

85

:

Yep.

86

:

Is there a cash prize for top billing?

87

:

There's There are prizes.

88

:

There are prizes.

89

:

There are prizes.

90

:

Yes.

91

:

Cyber truck?

92

:

Yes.

93

:

Yeah.

94

:

Which if I win shopping, if I win

a cyber truck, we will wrap it.

95

:

Encompass Bible Church swag, gear.

96

:

Why can't you do that

with your current car?

97

:

I just, you know, I don't know.

98

:

So you could do it is what you're saying?

99

:

I could do it, yes.

100

:

Well, why not just do that then?

101

:

Let's do it.

102

:

I could do that.

103

:

How about as a Christmas

gift to our church?

104

:

Yeah.

105

:

We design.

106

:

The wrap and then you put it on your car.

107

:

This is a, this is a, we and a you.

108

:

i would, I have to lend my

leadership to the cause.

109

:

Of course.

110

:

I, someone's gotta lend oversight

and I'm happy to offer my services.

111

:

So we will design a wrap for your

car and then you get it installed.

112

:

And this seems in honor of your church.

113

:

I don't know if I can fully, we've

known each other for a while now,

114

:

and I just, I think I know you well

enough to know that I don't know that I

115

:

trust that I, it would honor the Lord.

116

:

I know that much.

117

:

I just, it's, I could

only see good things here.

118

:

Okay.

119

:

All right.

120

:

Well, we'll wait and see on that one.

121

:

Okay.

122

:

We'll wait and see.

123

:

Speaking of good things though,

let's get into God's word together.

124

:

Would you like that transition there?

125

:

That was good.

126

:

Probably not, but that's okay.

127

:

Luke 22.

128

:

In John 13, we got two chapters.

129

:

And a little bit of whiplash here because

Luke 22 is going to cover a lot of ground.

130

:

John 13 is gonna begin to zoom in.

131

:

John 13, and then tomorrow's reading

as well, John 14 through 17 all

132

:

is gonna deal with the upper room.

133

:

And so, like I said yesterday,

you've got the synoptics, Matthew,

134

:

mark, and Luke that are treating

this more rapidly rapid fire.

135

:

Here's what's happening.

136

:

Luke is like that.

137

:

And so we pick up and we start

reading a lot of what we talked about.

138

:

Yesterday, you've got

the plot to kill Jesus.

139

:

You've got Judas deciding

that he's gonna do this.

140

:

Luke records for us in

Luke 22, verse three.

141

:

Then Satan entered into Judas as Scarritt.

142

:

And so that's interesting because he does

talk about Satan entering into Judas.

143

:

John's gonna record that Satan

entered into Judas during

144

:

the upper room meal there.

145

:

And so it's possible.

146

:

Remember, Satan is not omnipresent.

147

:

So it's not like the Holy Spirit

who can indwell believers in

148

:

multiple places at multiple times.

149

:

It's possible this is a both end.

150

:

It's possible that Judas was in,

in dwell by Satan to go and strike

151

:

the deal with the religious leaders

of the Jews to betray Jesus.

152

:

And then Satan left Judas.

153

:

And then when Judas was in the

upper room, Satan reentered

154

:

Judas at that point as well.

155

:

So it's possible you could have

Luke and John both saying the

156

:

same things and they're both true.

157

:

'cause Satan was not.

158

:

Taking up a permanent

residence inside of Judas.

159

:

At this point, do demonic forces, or I

guess any force, demonic or otherwise,

160

:

do these guys still inhabit people?

161

:

And if so, who and how do you know

if someone is inhabited by Satan?

162

:

Yeah.

163

:

Yes.

164

:

Is the short answer they,

they do a hundred percent.

165

:

And the question is to.

166

:

Who I think we can at least bifurcate

and say, this is gonna be unbelievers.

167

:

That the demons cannot inhabit the

body of a believer because the Holy

168

:

Spirit inhabits the body of a believer.

169

:

So take in residence, right?

170

:

The Holy Spirit is not going

to allow a demon to take up

171

:

residence within next to him.

172

:

In other words not gonna

be neighbors, right?

173

:

For the unbeliever they can expose

themselves to demonic possession.

174

:

And that does still happen today.

175

:

And I think it probably happens more

often than we give it credit for.

176

:

And I think we see, and I'm not.

177

:

I don't wanna paint with a broad

brush and say this is every

178

:

instance of, mental health issues.

179

:

But I do think some mental health issues

are a result of demonic possession,

180

:

or at least demonic oppression.

181

:

And I think there's other instances of

this that take place in more traditional

182

:

ways that we see in the scriptures.

183

:

In other areas of the world.

184

:

I think one of the reasons why we don't

see that as much here in our country is

185

:

because we are such a left-brained people.

186

:

We look for logic.

187

:

We are still by and large a product of the

enlightenment, the industrial revolution.

188

:

We are a scientific people.

189

:

And so this is not Satan's tactic is not

to take the person and cause 'em to foam

190

:

at the mouth and fall down at our feet.

191

:

Here, it's much more to cause us to

look at things that are demonic and

192

:

turn to other resources to try to deal

with those rather than to turn to.

193

:

The spiritual realm that

we should be dealing with.

194

:

So it's almost like he's pulled

our, the wool over our eyes.

195

:

The spiritual realm is still very

much at work right now, but we're

196

:

like, we're a culture that might

think of itself as too smart , to

197

:

give itself over to such things.

198

:

Yeah, and it's also very possible too,

that you could have so many of these

199

:

physical observations that you can make

about, oh they're, this kind of medication

200

:

tends to help them with these things.

201

:

My point, I guess what I'm

getting at is that there's this.

202

:

Physical component to these things

and there's a spiritual component.

203

:

Yeah.

204

:

And to say that there's one is not

to say that there's not another in

205

:

other words, they're compatible ideas.

206

:

You could say there's physical elements

and there's spiritual elements.

207

:

Okay.

208

:

Satan entering Judases Gart,

does he still do this today?

209

:

Does Satan do it himself

or is it just a demons?

210

:

Yeah, I can't see why he wouldn't.

211

:

Uh uh But again, he's

not omnipresent and so.

212

:

Even just that idea, the old

thing, well, Satan made me do it.

213

:

Yeah.

214

:

We would say, number one, even

demons don't make you do anything.

215

:

It's still your choice to sin.

216

:

But the tempting of believers

and unbelievers alike.

217

:

And then for possession Satan has

his demons at his disposal, but he's

218

:

only one entity, one created being.

219

:

So he can't be everywhere at once.

220

:

And so he can still inhabit people.

221

:

And I'm sure he does.

222

:

And that's a frightening thought when

you think about who that might be.

223

:

World leaders, you think about things

going on, on, on international scenes

224

:

and geopolitics and how he might be as

the prince of the power of the air of

225

:

this world, the god of this world, as

he might be moving chess pieces again

226

:

under the sovereign purview of God.

227

:

But it's frightening to think about

him still at work in that sense.

228

:

When people have.

229

:

Homes or places where things are going

bump in the night, they're hearing voices,

230

:

they're hearing knocks, things like that.

231

:

And let's say, it's one of those places

or it's an old home when there's weird

232

:

stuff that's always happened, doors open

and close, and all those sorts of things.

233

:

Now, should we conclude that

it's always a demon or something?

234

:

Is it possible that people are

coming back from the dead to, to

235

:

give comfort to a family, to say,

Hey, look, I'm, I died, but I'm okay.

236

:

I just wanna let you know I'm fine.

237

:

You know?

238

:

So some people will see their dead

relatives floating down the hallway.

239

:

A Misty like figure.

240

:

Other people will just hear

the knocks and hear things like

241

:

that happening in their home.

242

:

Is that anything to be concerned about?

243

:

Should we assume that's a demon?

244

:

Is it the parents art, not the parent?

245

:

Is it a relative?

246

:

What do we do with those things?

247

:

Yeah, I would say I don't think

it is the relative, in fact, even

248

:

in the Old Testament, when we have

the example of Saul going to the

249

:

medium to raise stamps, Endor yeah.

250

:

The witch of Endor, there's questions

among interpreters as to whether

251

:

or not that was really Samuel Yeah.

252

:

Or whether that was a

demonic being mm-hmm.

253

:

That, that was appearing before Saul.

254

:

We know that the testimony of scripture

First Corinthians talks about this

255

:

as well as Second Corinthians chapter

four to be absent from the body,

256

:

is to be present with the Lord,

second Corinthians four and five.

257

:

So the person who dies here

is not coming back here.

258

:

Even the story of the rich man and

Lazarus you have Lazarus or the

259

:

rich man saying, Hey, send him back.

260

:

And basically Abraham says, no.

261

:

They have Moses.

262

:

Nope.

263

:

They're not gonna believe.

264

:

Even if I was to send him back,

they're not gonna believe.

265

:

So somebody's loved ones

are not coming back.

266

:

If somebody's seeing apparitions

and things like that.

267

:

I think there's very much to, to

say this could be a demon, this

268

:

could be a ghost not a ghost.

269

:

A demon that is, is appearing as a ghost

that's doing these things that we would

270

:

call what's the word that they call it?

271

:

It's not supernatural, but it's,

preternatural something like that.

272

:

Okay.

273

:

Yeah.

274

:

So if you're we're saying then it's

possible that this is happening, that

275

:

this is a real supernatural event

that's taking place, suppose then it's a

276

:

Christian who isn't interacting with this.

277

:

Yeah.

278

:

What do you recommend that they do?

279

:

Should they do anything?

280

:

They call it pastor, if

this is happening to them.

281

:

Yeah.

282

:

They got the door knocking.

283

:

There's weird things that are happening

in their home, and it's not explainable

284

:

by, oh, there's just a draft of wind.

285

:

It seems like there's something

more substantial happening.

286

:

How would you counsel somebody about that?

287

:

Yeah, I mean, prayer.

288

:

Would be huge.

289

:

I think there's an opportunity to

examine the perimeters of your life,

290

:

just to make sure that there's not

any pockets of ungodliness that

291

:

you have are, have allowed in it's

gateways where they could enter,

292

:

take possession, that kind of thing.

293

:

Totally.

294

:

And then yeah.

295

:

Of the home, not your soul.

296

:

Right.

297

:

And then I think it's a

appropriate to call your pastors

298

:

to say, Hey, would you can pray?

299

:

Would, you can pray for a house?

300

:

Would you can pray with us.

301

:

Yeah.

302

:

We're not saying that this is a

demonically possessed home, but we'd

303

:

love you to come and pray for us.

304

:

Yeah.

305

:

Your community group, Hey, if you can

get your community group involved,

306

:

say, Hey, would you guys pray for us?

307

:

Because we've got these things going on.

308

:

They're kind of inexplicable.

309

:

We don't really know what to do with

it, but it's weirdness out a little bit.

310

:

We'd love to have you pray for us.

311

:

Yeah.

312

:

Maybe invite the community

group to your home.

313

:

Yeah.

314

:

Have a meal, have a sleepover, pray.

315

:

Did you guys hear it?

316

:

I told you.

317

:

I told you.

318

:

Yeah.

319

:

Pray do some worship take.

320

:

I mean, I take ownership

over that place, man.

321

:

That, that would declare that

place for the sake of Christ,

322

:

honor the Lord with it.

323

:

Utilize it if there is

things like that happening.

324

:

And I don't doubt that there're

happening all over the place.

325

:

We believe that there is a real spiritual

realm and people are really engaging

326

:

with that spiritual realm on a regular

basis sometimes, and perhaps even

327

:

oftentimes, as you were saying, unawares.

328

:

So you should do.

329

:

Your homework and recognize that

these things are really happening,

330

:

and this is how, one of the ways

that the devil provoked Jesus'

331

:

crucifixion by his demonic power.

332

:

Yeah.

333

:

Yeah.

334

:

Something I thought was really cool

that, that stood out to me this time

335

:

In Luke 22, verse 28 through 30 Jesus

says to his disciples, you are those

336

:

who have stayed with me in my trials

and I assigned to you as my father is

337

:

assigned to me, a kingdom that you may

eat and drink at my table in my kingdom,

338

:

and sit on thrones judging the 12 tribes

of Israel I was reminded of Peter's.

339

:

Question to Jesus when he

said, Lord, we've left.

340

:

Look at all we've left.

341

:

And Jesus told Peter, you're gonna

receive so much more than that in

342

:

this life and in the life to come.

343

:

Right.

344

:

And here, I think this is an example

of what that's gonna look like for

345

:

the disciples in the life to come.

346

:

These 12 minus Judas are going

to be sitting on the 12 Thrones.

347

:

They're gonna be co reigning

with Christ who's at 12th.

348

:

Because if Judas was.

349

:

Removed, do you think

Matthias is gonna be the guy?

350

:

We, I was just talking about

this with my kids the other day.

351

:

It would seem to be the apostles is

where I would go with that rather

352

:

than Matthias as the replacement

there, but the apostles instead.

353

:

So perhaps Paul would be the 12.

354

:

So yeah, that's my point.

355

:

If it's not Paul.

356

:

I'm gonna be shocked.

357

:

Yeah, I might for a second be tempted.

358

:

No, I would be tempted.

359

:

'cause I'll be perfect, but I

would be like, hold on a second.

360

:

Hold on.

361

:

Can we talk about this?

362

:

Is there room for us to have a discussion?

363

:

Right, Lord, please.

364

:

Right.

365

:

Can we out, can we add

a 13th chair at minimum?

366

:

Come on.

367

:

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

368

:

So I, I just thought that was really cool.

369

:

Hey, how about the angels coming

to minister to Jesus in the garden.

370

:

I keyed in on that and I'm like,

man, what is happening there?

371

:

Right.

372

:

But it's not unusual 'cause it

happened already in the gospel of

373

:

Matthew when he was being tempted.

374

:

He was ministered to by angels.

375

:

But that's a unique detail that Luke

includes that is always a bit curious.

376

:

Yeah.

377

:

Yeah.

378

:

And that's Luke though.

379

:

Luke's the physician.

380

:

Luke's the detail guy.

381

:

Yeah.

382

:

He's gonna get to the bottom of

everything that he can in the story.

383

:

And yet he doesn't talk about the bodies

walking outta the tombs like Matthew does.

384

:

We'll get there.

385

:

Come on man.

386

:

Matthew is the only one.

387

:

Yeah.

388

:

Weird.

389

:

Yeah.

390

:

Anyways, rest of chapter 22 in

Luke, a lot of the same things.

391

:

You've got the betrayal and the arrest.

392

:

You've got Peter's denials of Jesus, and

then you get into the mocking and the

393

:

blaspheming of Christ the abuse of Christ.

394

:

And again, we're gonna, we.

395

:

Did talk about that.

396

:

I guess on Sunday we talked about

the suffering of Jesus and how that

397

:

is a template and example that model

for us, like a workbook where a child

398

:

traces the letters in the workbook.

399

:

That's the example.

400

:

That's what it means there, that Christ's

suffering is that example for us.

401

:

So, we see some of that here

taking place in Luke chapter 22.

402

:

One question here in the middle

section verses 35 through 38.

403

:

He talks about see if you don't have a

sword, sell your cloak and buy a sword.

404

:

And then he says.

405

:

One of the disciples says,

look, Lord, we have two sword.

406

:

And he's like, Hey that's enough.

407

:

What's the point there?

408

:

Should we be buying guns?

409

:

Is one gun too many or is two

guns too many and one is enough

410

:

and every family should have one.

411

:

Yeah.

412

:

Is there a parallel that we could

point to in the modern day that.

413

:

Is effectively applying this text.

414

:

Yeah, I think he's commissioning his

disciples to be shrewd and to be on

415

:

the defensive because they're going

out as sheep in the midst of wolves.

416

:

And he's not gonna be

there to protect them.

417

:

He's not gonna be there anymore to

be guiding them and leading them.

418

:

So I think he's saying

you need to be smart.

419

:

And part of that.

420

:

Wisdom and that shrewdness is yeah,

grab a sword and have a sword.

421

:

What he's not doing is he's

not commissioning an army.

422

:

And so that's when they're

like, Hey, we've got two swords.

423

:

He's not saying, great, go out and amass

as much firepower as you can because

424

:

you gotta go out and kill people.

425

:

No, he's saying, I want you to defend

yourself if you need to defend yourself.

426

:

Right?

427

:

But because you've gotta a mission

to take care of here, and I need

428

:

you to be per on mission for me.

429

:

But he's not commissioning them to

go out and go on the offensive and

430

:

just start slaughtering people.

431

:

So he's essentially saying, trust,

trust the lord, but make wise provision.

432

:

Yeah.

433

:

To do one is not, does

not exclude the other.

434

:

Totally.

435

:

Trust God.

436

:

Make wise provision.

437

:

Yeah.

438

:

So if you've got a gun at

home, that's reasonable.

439

:

Yeah.

440

:

If you've got the conviction to say

this, I need this for, to be wise

441

:

and I'm gonna trust the Lord, but

I'm also gonna be wise, then great.

442

:

You know, I've lived in Texas long

enough now that I want to go take a

443

:

gun class and get a gun at some point.

444

:

I do too, actually.

445

:

Yeah, we should do it.

446

:

Staff.

447

:

I'm for All of us can do it together.

448

:

Team building.

449

:

Yes.

450

:

Mike Clementi actually recently sent

me a half off email at the Frisco

451

:

Gun Club for one of their trainings.

452

:

I think it was only for this weekend

though, so it may be expired by now.

453

:

Well, that would be a great staff event.

454

:

And we know somebody in our church and

we'll leave his name out of this, but he

455

:

is one that does not only have two sorts.

456

:

He has many swords.

457

:

Has a lot of swords, and one might

argue it's part of his profession.

458

:

It needs to, it could, yeah.

459

:

Yeah.

460

:

For safety purposes.

461

:

Alright, so John, chapter 13,

then as we switch gears over here,

462

:

we are in the upper room now.

463

:

So, we're backing up.

464

:

Jesus has not yet been betrayed.

465

:

We're not at the trials.

466

:

We're back in the upper room.

467

:

Institution of Passover has actually not

yet taken place either, but here we find.

468

:

What Jesus is going to do here with

his disciples, and that is as they

469

:

get into the room, he's gonna do

one of the greatest acts of humility

470

:

that we find prior to the cross.

471

:

And this is meant to foreshadow

the cross and point to the cross.

472

:

And Jesus is gonna get up and

wash the feet of his disciples.

473

:

And you've probably heard it many,

many times before I preached.

474

:

Through John, and so you can

go back and find that message

475

:

from this passage as well.

476

:

But my argument there was, this was not

so much about the fact that we need to

477

:

go out and wash each other's feet, but

that we need to consider our cultural

478

:

context and we need to serve one another

with that same level of object humility.

479

:

We need to be willing to debase

ourselves for the good of someone

480

:

else because we wanna love them and we

wanna love them as Christ has loved us.

481

:

And that's really the gist of John 13.

482

:

He's really going to bring it to its.

483

:

Pinnacle in when he says a new commandment

I give to you that you love one another

484

:

as I have loved you and running through

the background for them at that time.

485

:

Is his washing their feet.

486

:

But then when John's writing this

in the late first century ad, he's

487

:

writing this through the lens of not

only the foot washing, but also what

488

:

the foot washing was foreshadowing.

489

:

And that is the cross.

490

:

And so that's our template for how

we should love one another with this

491

:

self-sacrificial, self basing love that.

492

:

Considers someone else even

more significant than ourselves.

493

:

Yeah.

494

:

This is one of the lowliest

jobs that anybody could take.

495

:

Maybe akin to changing someone's

diaper, perhaps something like that.

496

:

At least because we don't have

this kind of thing anymore.

497

:

It's hard to make a one-to-one comparison.

498

:

But the point is, and I think you said it

well, there's just a willingness to sell.

499

:

I'll serve you anyway that I can,

that even if it's a lowly job that

500

:

not many people would wanna do.

501

:

So I think that's great.

502

:

Everybody wants to know.

503

:

When are you gonna wash the church's feet?

504

:

Dude, I got in trouble on the

podcast for this, our first

505

:

year that we did this podcast.

506

:

Do you remember that?

507

:

I don't, what did you say?

508

:

I think I got an email from somebody

that doesn't even go to our church.

509

:

I don't remember this, that was like

Pastor PG, you need to get off your

510

:

high horse and wash people's feet.

511

:

Oh wow.

512

:

Okay.

513

:

I'm sorry.

514

:

I'm ping me up.

515

:

It blew me up.

516

:

They only got one email because I said.

517

:

You said you weren't gonna do it?

518

:

Never.

519

:

Well, I just said I don't think

that's what this is really

520

:

about, and I stand by that.

521

:

I still don't think

that's what this is about.

522

:

Because this was about in the cultural

context, to your point, this is something

523

:

we don't have an equivalent of today.

524

:

Yeah, we don't.

525

:

And so Jesus was doing

this because it was a need.

526

:

That they had, that he was meeting and

it, that's what we lose sight of in this.

527

:

Yeah.

528

:

They were eating a meal together.

529

:

It was common for their feet to

be washed before they had a meal.

530

:

Yeah.

531

:

And that wasn't taking place.

532

:

'cause their feet would've

been in each other's faces.

533

:

Exactly.

534

:

The way that they were

laying, reclining a table.

535

:

They were walking through nasty streets.

536

:

They didn't have a household

slave there because this was

537

:

more of an impromptu gathering.

538

:

Yeah.

539

:

And so Jesus took that role

and said, I'll do it then.

540

:

And so that's why I don't think

this is about anything significantly

541

:

mystical about washing people's feet.

542

:

I think it's about serving one

another and he doesn't say the same

543

:

things that he says about communion.

544

:

Do this, and as often as you

remember, and remembrance of me.

545

:

So it carries a different weight.

546

:

The weight of it is, its symbolism what

it would point to, namely his crucifixion.

547

:

So I'm just gonna ask you in

front of everybody here, will you.

548

:

Wash your staff speed.

549

:

No.

550

:

In a basin of water?

551

:

No.

552

:

What if I brought the water?

553

:

No.

554

:

What if I brought the basin?

555

:

No.

556

:

What if I got a really awesome

smelling soap for you to use?

557

:

No.

558

:

What if I got you latex gloves?

559

:

No.

560

:

You're not making this very easy.

561

:

No.

562

:

Maybe if you got me like those grabbers

and I could use those trash grabs,

563

:

those claws, those, that'd be funny.

564

:

Yeah.

565

:

I, this the other thing, last thing

about this chapter that always just.

566

:

It makes me an awe.

567

:

And this goes to what we're, we've been

talking about, is that this is what

568

:

Jesus identifies in not only this, but

here, this is what Jesus identifies

569

:

as the defining marker of a Christian.

570

:

By this, all people will know that you

are my disciples if you love one another.

571

:

If I have loved you as I have

loved you, that's amazing.

572

:

And that speaks to the fact

that the reason is because

573

:

to love radically like this.

574

:

Only happens from a heart that

has been loved radically by God.

575

:

And so that's why this is one thing

that people are the world's gonna look

576

:

at and be like, oh, they're Christians.

577

:

Because I see the way

they care for each other.

578

:

Yeah.

579

:

And would that we be a church

that the world does look at

580

:

and make that conclusion?

581

:

That would be great.

582

:

Yeah.

583

:

Well, let's pray and they'll

be done with this episode.

584

:

God, as I just prayed in what I said

would that we would be that church, that

585

:

church that loves one another, so well,

so cause us Lord, to, to even Philippians

586

:

chapter two as the Apostle Paul called

us to have the mindset that is ours in

587

:

Christ Jesus and that we would consider

others more significant than ourselves.

588

:

That we would look out not only

for our own interests, but also

589

:

for the interests of others, and

that we'd be willing to serve.

590

:

And meet the needs that we see in our

brothers and sisters in Christ, and may

591

:

that speak loudly to the world around us.

592

:

We prayed this in Jesus name, amen.

593

:

Amen.
