00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.960

<v Speaker 1>The Tiders. Oh yeah, it's great.

24
00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:56.479
<v Speaker 2>I watch that when I was like in middle school,

25
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 2>and I remember learning because at the time than when

26
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:01.439
<v Speaker 2>the movie had come out and when we read the book.

27
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:03.159
<v Speaker 2>Then I watched a movie and I realized all those

28
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.079
<v Speaker 2>actors were like famous, like they're making great films at

29
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:07.879
<v Speaker 2>the time. It's kind of funny, you know, all the different.

30
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:09.599
<v Speaker 1>Actually, that's that's the breakout role for a lot of them.

31
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:10.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was awesome.

32
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:12.640
<v Speaker 1>That was one. I think that was Tom Cruise's first.

33
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Patrick Swayze.

34
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Swayey Swayze, Matt Damon, got Matt Damont, med Dylan,

36
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:24.640

39
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:28.680
<v Speaker 2>pretty awesome.

40
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there was a lot of them in there. Yeah.

41
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:32.079
<v Speaker 2>There's been people I've talked to over the years who've

42
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:34.480
<v Speaker 2>like never like read the book, didn't know about the movie,

43
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:35.920
<v Speaker 2>and they're like, like you show them with just that

44
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 2>cover and they're like, those people were in that movie. Yes, Yes,

45
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:39.959
<v Speaker 2>it's like an A list actors.

46
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:42.359
<v Speaker 1>And that was also the breakout role for Diane.

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:44.760
<v Speaker 2>Lane, Yeah, who played Yeah, yep, yep, Yeah, that's awesome.

48
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, hey, enough about that. We want to start

49
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>out with a segment called the anti bucket list. I

50
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:52.040
<v Speaker 1>think I've only done this one time.

51
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:52.439
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

52
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:55.439
<v Speaker 1>Uh so it says this, instead of naming the things

53
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.519
<v Speaker 1>that you want to do, name a couple of things

54
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:00.959
<v Speaker 1>that you hope to know ever have to.

55
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Do again, things you hope to never have to do again.

56
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so you did it. You're thinking yourself, never again.

57
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would say an easy one. This is not

58
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.439
<v Speaker 2>a trip. This is like I might have some trips

59
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.599
<v Speaker 2>I wish I could never do again, or places i've been,

60
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:16.039
<v Speaker 2>but I would never want to have the flu again.

61
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:19.520
<v Speaker 2>I know that's impossible to say that, but wait a minute, dude,

62
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:21.879
<v Speaker 2>come onbod he chooses to get the flu at first. True.

63
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 2>I guess it's not a bucket list, no, but that's

64
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:24.400
<v Speaker 2>something that's it.

65
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I never like some of the ti bucket list. I

66
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.120
<v Speaker 1>don't want to die, Okay, I don't want to have cancer.

67
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't want my kids to get kid.

68
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 2>When I think of something I don't ever want to do,

69
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:34.280
<v Speaker 2>I guess that's maybe it. Maybe I was just thinking

70
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:35.439
<v Speaker 2>I never want to do that. I can't do this

71
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:37.319
<v Speaker 2>bucket list. Is this is something I really want to do.

72
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:38.280
<v Speaker 2>This is something I never want to do.

73
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:40.919
<v Speaker 1>About and experience that you've chosen to do in the

74
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:43.159
<v Speaker 1>past within your control that you want to you will

75
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:44.159
<v Speaker 1>never choose to do again.

76
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, man, that's tough. Okay, fine with that in mind. Yes,

77
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.520
<v Speaker 2>I would say last year, although I would love to

78
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.280
<v Speaker 2>go to Africa again or travel far, sitting in an

79
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.840
<v Speaker 2>airplane for twenty hours may not be for me.

80
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:56.919
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I don't think.

81
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:58.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I'm built for this.

82
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and so I would I would probably say, and

83
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.199
<v Speaker 1>I am almost embarrassed to say this, but there are

84
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>some kind well you know what, I'm not going to

85
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.680
<v Speaker 1>name the country. There are some countries that I've been

86
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>to that I would choose not to go back to.

87
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:13.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm gonna choose a safe country. Yeah. Yeah,

88
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.919
<v Speaker 1>I will never go back to South Sudan again. Oh

89
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>why Because I didn't realize when I was there how

90
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:21.240
<v Speaker 1>unsafe it was interesting, and so it's like it's almost

91
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>like Haiti now, it's like going to Haiti. Now there's

92
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>a good chance you won't come back. Yeah, right, because

93
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.240
<v Speaker 1>it's it's lawless. Right. That was South Sudan when I

94
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>went there, and so I didn't realize how unsafe it

95
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.919
<v Speaker 1>was until there was like life threatening things that happened,

96
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.240
<v Speaker 1>and I thought to myself, I can't believe I went yeah.

97
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>I was ignorant when I went yeah, so how about that.

98
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.319
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'll throw another one out then. Okay, I've never

99
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.039
<v Speaker 2>done this yet, but it's something I avoid just for

100
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.199
<v Speaker 2>some random reason. But I would not go on a

101
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.120
<v Speaker 2>carnival cruise. Here's why did you ever hear about the

102
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.840
<v Speaker 2>poop Cruise? Is a documentary about it on Netflix? Nope,

103
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:54.560
<v Speaker 2>it's about the cruise. We probably heard about it like

104
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:56.800
<v Speaker 2>five ten years five ten years ago where they had

105
00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:00.439
<v Speaker 2>like a fire happened in the engine. All of a sudden,

106
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.599
<v Speaker 2>they the boat is out in the middle of the ocean,

107
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:04.759
<v Speaker 2>and then all of a sudden, the sewage started rising

108
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.520
<v Speaker 2>up on the showers and people were like sleeping anywhere.

109
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:09.560
<v Speaker 2>It was like it was like the cruise from Hell,

110
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 2>and it happened to be carnival cruise. And I know

111
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.240
<v Speaker 2>it won't happen, but one I go on, but just

112
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:15.800
<v Speaker 2>purely out of like I won't do it. Yeah, I

113
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:17.079
<v Speaker 2>never heard of it. Yeah, you gotta look at it's

114
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:18.800
<v Speaker 2>good documentary. The poop cruise is what they call it.

115
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, how about this? Before you said that,

116
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:25.319
<v Speaker 1>before you said that, I had a really good thought cruise?

117
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh what was it? And I thought to myself, I'll

118
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:33.720
<v Speaker 1>never do that again. I literally can't believe that I

119
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:36.959
<v Speaker 1>had a really good addition to this. No, no, no, you

120
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:39.959
<v Speaker 1>you threw me off with. I was so fascinated with your.

121
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Heart, with your just send you the link, you know,

122
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:44.519
<v Speaker 2>want just documentary.

123
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.360
<v Speaker 1>It's like, but I, what did I do that recently

124
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.199
<v Speaker 1>that I thought to myself, I'll never ever do that again.

125
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:52.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh I know what, I know what I thought of?

126
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I get motion insigma. So I was actually on a

127
00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:58.519
<v Speaker 1>thing called the spider.

128
00:04:58.759 --> 00:04:59.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, right, and.

129
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.480
<v Speaker 1>There's a I got a ride at the at the

130
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:04.480
<v Speaker 1>at the fair or or even Cedar Point. Now it's

131
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:07.879
<v Speaker 1>still there where the thing literally the whole thing turns

132
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:10.720
<v Speaker 1>and then the arms go up and down on the

133
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:12.360
<v Speaker 1>spider arms, so you were going up and down while

134
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:16.319
<v Speaker 1>you're turning. And then there's a like a spinner where

135
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:20.800
<v Speaker 1>there's like four four like like buckets, four buckets. That

136
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>thing spins and then your bucket spins.

137
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh my goodness, not good.

138
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>So your bucket is spinning motion while you're while you're

139
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.720
<v Speaker 1>spinning as four things while you're going up and down

140
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.560
<v Speaker 1>while the whole thing's spinning. And so when I tried that,

141
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I got so emotion in thickness and I thought to myself,

142
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:36.360
<v Speaker 1>I will never do that again.

143
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:39.319
<v Speaker 2>That's terrible. Yeah, that's terrible. Keep you on sky diving.

144
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Before I went three times, I think I would do

145
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.439
<v Speaker 1>that again. Although the last time that I went. Do

146
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:46.800
<v Speaker 1>you know that. The first time I went, it was

147
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:48.759
<v Speaker 1>just epic. The second time I went it was still

148
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.319
<v Speaker 1>pretty great. And the third time I went, I literally

149
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:53.839
<v Speaker 1>had this thought, this is how, you know, like I'm

150
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:56.480
<v Speaker 1>over things pretty quickly. I literally jump out of the

151
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>plane and as I'm jumping out of the plane, it

152
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 1>was super cold. I was sort of miserable, and I

153
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:03.879
<v Speaker 1>actually thought to myself, I think this is the least

154
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:04.519
<v Speaker 1>time I'll do this.

155
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:05.199
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

156
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:07.839
<v Speaker 1>As I'm falling, and I thought to myself, yeah, I

157
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:10.160
<v Speaker 1>think I'm done. Like it's sort of lost its luster

158
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:10.480
<v Speaker 1>for me.

159
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's not worth anymore.

160
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:13.399
<v Speaker 1>That's fair. That was incredibly I have not gone.

161
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:14.839
<v Speaker 2>That's what I was curious to see. Because you've done

162
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:16.079
<v Speaker 2>it a few times. I didn't know if you would

163
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:16.680
<v Speaker 2>say the same.

164
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.160
<v Speaker 1>That that's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, I would never

165
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.720
<v Speaker 1>do it. I would never do it where I'm controlling it.

166
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:24.439
<v Speaker 1>I would never do that. That That freaks me out so.

167
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:25.439
<v Speaker 2>Bad, gotcha, gotcha.

168
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.079
<v Speaker 1>But I jumped tandem where somebody is in control of it. Yeah,

169
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm fine with that, but I would never do it

170
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:30.920
<v Speaker 1>by myself ever.

171
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:33.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, I'll end one. This one's for Jeff. Okay.

172
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:37.519
<v Speaker 2>I will never visits Ohio for the rest of my life.

173
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:37.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm done.

174
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:41.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm done with the state of One's not true. Unfortunately,

175
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:43.759
<v Speaker 2>after I'm not vacationing in Ohio.

176
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, well, hey, that's that could be true. Yeah,

177
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:48.199
<v Speaker 1>you could consciously say that.

178
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:49.920
<v Speaker 2>That's for Jeff wherever you're at, Jeff.

179
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, very good. Well, Hey you know I'm from Ohio, right,

180
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:54.839
<v Speaker 1>I know? I okay? Okay, Yes, Well, hey, that was

181
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.480
<v Speaker 1>a great segment. And so we are going to be

182
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:02.759
<v Speaker 1>caught talking about the famous saying that Jesus said, and

183
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:06.439
<v Speaker 1>he said her many sins have been invented. Yes, and

184
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>this once again is all about the outsiders. Yeah. Man,

185
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:11.879
<v Speaker 1>this is a woman who is notoriously known to be

186
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:12.319
<v Speaker 1>a sinner.

187
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:15.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so Luke seven is where we're going to be

188
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.160
<v Speaker 2>picking up today, and we're both actually, yeah, you're reading

189
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.319
<v Speaker 2>out of the NLT I'm reading out of the NLT so,

190
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:24.040
<v Speaker 2>and starting in verse thirty six, it says this, one

191
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.560
<v Speaker 2>of the pharisees asked Jesus to have dinner with him.

192
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.079
<v Speaker 2>So Jesus went to his home and sat down to eat.

193
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.160
<v Speaker 2>When a certain immoral woman from that city heard he

194
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:35.319
<v Speaker 2>was eating there, she brought a beautiful alabaster jar filled

195
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:39.920
<v Speaker 2>with expensive perfume. Then she knelt behind him at his feet, weeping.

196
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Her tears fell on his feet, and she wiped them

197
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:44.920
<v Speaker 2>off with her hair. Then she kept kissing his feet

198
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:47.600
<v Speaker 2>and putting perfume on them. When the pharisee who had

199
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.079
<v Speaker 2>invited him saw this, he said to himself, if this

200
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:52.160
<v Speaker 2>man were a prophet, he would know what kind of

201
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:56.160
<v Speaker 2>a woman is touching him. She's a sinner. Then Jesus

202
00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:59.160
<v Speaker 2>answered his thoughts Simon. He said to the pharisee, I

203
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:02.240
<v Speaker 2>have something to say to you. Go ahead, teacher, Simon replied.

204
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:06.399
<v Speaker 2>Then Jesus told them this story. A loaned money to

205
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.240
<v Speaker 2>two people, five hundred pieces of silver to one and

206
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:12.240
<v Speaker 2>fifty pieces to the other, but neither of them could

207
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:16.399
<v Speaker 2>repay him, so he kindly forgave them both, canceling their debts.

208
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Who do you suppose loved him more than that? Simon answered,

209
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:22.600
<v Speaker 2>I suppose the one for whom he canceled the larger debt.

210
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:25.240
<v Speaker 2>That's right, Jesus said. Then he turned to the woman

211
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:27.680
<v Speaker 2>and said to Simon, look at this woman kneeling here.

212
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.319
<v Speaker 2>When I entered your home, you didn't offer me water

213
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:32.480
<v Speaker 2>to wash the dust from my feet, but she has

214
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:35.279
<v Speaker 2>washed them with her tears and wiped them with their hair.

215
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:37.320
<v Speaker 2>You didn't greet me with a kiss, but from the

216
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.399
<v Speaker 2>time I first came in, she has not stopped kissing

217
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:42.240
<v Speaker 2>my feet. You neglected the courtesy of olive oil to

218
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:44.320
<v Speaker 2>anoint my head, but she has anointed my feet with

219
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:48.679
<v Speaker 2>rare perfume. I tell you her sins, and yes there

220
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:51.559
<v Speaker 2>are many, have been forgiven. So she has shown me

221
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:54.799
<v Speaker 2>much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows

222
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:57.960
<v Speaker 2>only a little love. Then Jesus said to the woman,

223
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:02.159
<v Speaker 2>your sins are forgiven. The men at the table said

224
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:04.840
<v Speaker 2>among themselves, who is this man that he goes around

225
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:08.080
<v Speaker 2>forgiving sins? And Jesus said to the woman your faith

226
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:10.960
<v Speaker 2>has saved you go in peace. I love this. It's

227
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.240
<v Speaker 2>honestly very similar to what we read on Monday, a

228
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:15.120
<v Speaker 2>little bit of the where he came to the defense

229
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.039
<v Speaker 2>of the woman, you know, just the whole the men

230
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.519
<v Speaker 2>at the table adultry. Yeah, yeah, sorry, yeh could woman

231
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.519
<v Speaker 2>caught an adultrey and you have these men at the table,

232
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.759
<v Speaker 2>and who is this man forgiving sins?

233
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Like?

234
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:26.720
<v Speaker 2>What is it like? It's it's very very similar.

235
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:31.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it is similar in that Jesus is forgiving a

236
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:36.159
<v Speaker 1>woman who is known to have a sinned and she's

237
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:39.759
<v Speaker 1>being judged by the people around them, right, and Jesus

238
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:42.120
<v Speaker 1>forgives her. So that part is and is almost sort

239
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:46.360
<v Speaker 1>of like almost lident, right, But the circumstances in which

240
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:52.039
<v Speaker 1>this happens are are different. And then also Jesus decides

241
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:56.960
<v Speaker 1>to teach, whereas before he knew that their motivation and

242
00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:59.399
<v Speaker 1>the woman caught in adultrey was to trapp him. Yeah,

243
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.919
<v Speaker 1>in this particular case, they were judging her for different reasons.

244
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.320
<v Speaker 1>They were actually judging her actual actions. Like for instance,

245
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:12.519
<v Speaker 1>they thought to themselves, this woman has wasted this money

246
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:14.559
<v Speaker 1>and she could have sold it for the poor. Now

247
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:17.000
<v Speaker 1>does it say it in this one, it doesn't does, see, no,

248
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:20.159
<v Speaker 1>does it. But in another one of the Gospels it

249
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.679
<v Speaker 1>actually talks about this story, and it gives us a

250
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:24.840
<v Speaker 1>little bit more insight from one of the other writers,

251
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:28.279
<v Speaker 1>where I think it might have been Judas who said,

252
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.279
<v Speaker 1>look at this woman. She has broken out this alabaster

253
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.320
<v Speaker 1>jar of perfume. And she could have sold all this

254
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:36.759
<v Speaker 1>money and given it to the poor, but she's wasted

255
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:40.039
<v Speaker 1>it here, right, And so let's talk about that for seconds,

256
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:42.639
<v Speaker 1>since I've already brought it up. So in alabaster is

257
00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:45.360
<v Speaker 1>a mineral. It's like a rock, but it's a beautiful

258
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:50.320
<v Speaker 1>white rock. And so this alabaster jar in itself would

259
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.840
<v Speaker 1>have been expensive and it would have been beautiful. So

260
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:56.360
<v Speaker 1>it is something of prominence, something that is designed for,

261
00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:01.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, obviously somebody who's important. And then then this

262
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.159
<v Speaker 1>alabaster jar of perfume. Uh, this this this, oh, g

263
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.440
<v Speaker 1>whizz the oil? Yeah, the oil it was Uh, there's

264
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:11.679
<v Speaker 1>a name for it. I can't believe I'm forgetting it.

265
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:15.200
<v Speaker 1>What was in the alabaster jar? What kind was it? Murr?

266
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Was it murrh? No? It was called something. You want

267
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:20.360
<v Speaker 1>to look it up?

268
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let me see you look it up. Okay, keep going,

269
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:23.159
<v Speaker 2>keep going anyway.

270
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:27.240
<v Speaker 1>So it was very expensive, and in most scholars believe

271
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:30.200
<v Speaker 1>that it would have been a year's salary. Imagine that,

272
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.360
<v Speaker 1>so you know, imagine everything you make a year, right,

273
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:35.919
<v Speaker 1>all that, all those hundreds of millions of dollars that

274
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:38.360
<v Speaker 1>you make a year, right, and so you know, your

275
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:44.879
<v Speaker 1>entire year's salary represented in this jar. And so people

276
00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:48.879
<v Speaker 1>even today would say, what a waste. And yet she

277
00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:52.440
<v Speaker 1>is expressing everything that she has. That's like an offering.

278
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:55.360
<v Speaker 1>So she's giving it to God himself, and she's pouring

279
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:58.759
<v Speaker 1>it out, annoying his feet with oil. And what she's

280
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:02.159
<v Speaker 1>really doing is as a describing worth to him, and

281
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:05.200
<v Speaker 1>she's giving him this offering of you know, quite possibly

282
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:08.399
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't say so quite quite possibly everything that she has.

283
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:13.559
<v Speaker 1>The other scholars say that perhaps she's a prostitute.

284
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Sorry yard.

285
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:20.799
<v Speaker 1>It's a very thick, uh almost like a molasses type perfume,

286
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:23.799
<v Speaker 1>and so it's very concentrated and so Nard could be

287
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:28.000
<v Speaker 1>actually be uh you know, diluted and spread throughout. And

288
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.960
<v Speaker 1>so this this Nard is very very very expensive. And

289
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:35.360
<v Speaker 1>so anyway, I knew, I knew it had a name.

290
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:39.399
<v Speaker 1>And anyway, the point is is that you know, this

291
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.240
<v Speaker 1>woman is uh notoriously known as a sinner, and yet

292
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.279
<v Speaker 1>Jesus decides to teach and he didn't do that elsewhere.

293
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:48.440
<v Speaker 1>And what he's trying to do is he's trying to

294
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:54.120
<v Speaker 1>actually teach them about her heart and about God's position

295
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.679
<v Speaker 1>uh to to his forgiveness to her right because because

296
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.960
<v Speaker 1>it's unlike the adulterous woman that we read on Monday,

297
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:06.000
<v Speaker 1>because that again had no basis of justice, that was

298
00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:10.159
<v Speaker 1>just them using this woman as a you knows, as

299
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:10.960
<v Speaker 1>a means.

300
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Tool to their own agenda. Essentially, don't put him to

301
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:14.759
<v Speaker 2>trap him.

302
00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:19.840
<v Speaker 1>But this one has legitimate repentance involved. Jesus is recognizing

303
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:23.559
<v Speaker 1>all the good they're not. And all they think to

304
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.320
<v Speaker 1>themselves is why has she come in here? And why

305
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:30.200
<v Speaker 1>is this sinful woman allowed to touch a rabbi? Because remember,

306
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:34.240
<v Speaker 1>culturally he would have been unclean, yes, right, he would

307
00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:36.399
<v Speaker 1>have had to be unclean and go wash, yes, to

308
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:37.720
<v Speaker 1>be even touched by a woman like this.

309
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:40.200
<v Speaker 2>The thing I found interesting too is a couple of things.

310
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:43.000
<v Speaker 2>One is I like that it says that Jesus says,

311
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:45.759
<v Speaker 2>then Jesus answered his thoughts, so he hurt all of

312
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:47.159
<v Speaker 2>that like Jesus literally.

313
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:49.320
<v Speaker 1>And again, these are the Jesus powers that Jeff and

314
00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:51.519
<v Speaker 1>I were talking to. Yeah, he get into this big thing,

315
00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:53.720
<v Speaker 1>big debate, and he goes, oh no, he goes, we

316
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:57.960
<v Speaker 1>could Jesus didn't have any special Jesus powers. Besides what

317
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:00.399
<v Speaker 1>the Holy Spirit can get to us? Right? Well, I

318
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:01.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know about you, but I don't.

319
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:04.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean, right here, Jesus answered his thoughts. I can't

320
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:05.039
<v Speaker 2>do that.

321
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Jesus answered his thoughts.

322
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:09.840
<v Speaker 2>So he's sitting there in his mind silence.

323
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Hey, for all of our listeners, remember when Jeff was

324
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.600
<v Speaker 1>gloating the other week, Yeah, about saying, like, hey, there's

325
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:21.080
<v Speaker 1>proof that Jesus didn't have any powers. Besides, and I

326
00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:23.840
<v Speaker 1>use the word power's tongue in cheek, right, but I said,

327
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:31.320
<v Speaker 1>there's so many examples, partures where Jesus has has abilities

328
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:34.360
<v Speaker 1>that are beyond just the normal human being. Because I

329
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:36.840
<v Speaker 1>know he's a hundredercent manah, I mean obviously he's an

330
00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:40.360
<v Speaker 1>undrescent man. I also know that he's suppressed many attributes

331
00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:43.840
<v Speaker 1>of his deity, right, and all of that's really clear, right,

332
00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.120
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time he made the comment and said,

333
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:49.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing these things so that people would know I'm

334
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:52.320
<v Speaker 1>the Messiah. So there has to be some things that

335
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Jesus reserves to go above and beyond to prove his

336
00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:58.840
<v Speaker 1>messiah ship. That was my only point, right, So if

337
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Jesus answers this thought, then that would then the chef's theory. Yeah,

338
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:04.960
<v Speaker 1>then that means that you and I would have the

339
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:07.559
<v Speaker 1>ability to the power of Holy spirit minds. You know,

340
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:10.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna put myself in Jeff's shoes right now. He

341
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:12.279
<v Speaker 1>would say, Yes, Chris, that's called discernment.

342
00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's what it is, that spiritual gift, the discernment.

343
00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeahah yeah, yeah, it could be.

344
00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:16.360
<v Speaker 1>But that still doesn't know.

345
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:18.320
<v Speaker 2>But this is literally, like he said, he read his

346
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:20.759
<v Speaker 2>thoughts and then responded to his very thoughts of this

347
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:22.399
<v Speaker 2>person being you know what, I'm.

348
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Going to concede on this. Maybe maybe maybe God could

349
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:26.639
<v Speaker 1>give us discernment beyond our ability.

350
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:28.080
<v Speaker 2>It could be that. All right, let's move on so

351
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:30.720
<v Speaker 2>that Jeff doesn't get a bile. Sorry, but I was

352
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:32.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna say. So that stood out to me is that

353
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:34.679
<v Speaker 2>he he heard his thoughts and responded to it. But

354
00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:36.720
<v Speaker 2>then also, it's so interesting because we see in these

355
00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:39.639
<v Speaker 2>stories you have these pharisees constantly trying to like one

356
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:42.440
<v Speaker 2>up these common folk, these people that they saw, and

357
00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:44.519
<v Speaker 2>it was this and it was cool. It's cool how

358
00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:48.679
<v Speaker 2>Jesus points out the fact that the pharisee actually overlooked

359
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:51.440
<v Speaker 2>several things that he should have done correctly, like the

360
00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:53.480
<v Speaker 2>way the way this woman greeted him and took care

361
00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:55.720
<v Speaker 2>of him as a guest. You talk about the ceremonial cleaning,

362
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:58.519
<v Speaker 2>There's so many things that was that were already overlooked.

363
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:01.120
<v Speaker 2>And it was interesting because Jesus calls him out on

364
00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:02.600
<v Speaker 2>it is like, look what she did, but look what

365
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:04.559
<v Speaker 2>you didn't do. Look what she's done, but look what

366
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:08.000
<v Speaker 2>you haven't done. And it was probably a very humiliating

367
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:11.320
<v Speaker 2>thing for somebody like him, this dispharisee who thought he

368
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:14.480
<v Speaker 2>was something special. He didn't treat Jesus like a special guest,

369
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:16.559
<v Speaker 2>since she's kind of treating him like an average Joe.

370
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Then this woman comes along, He's like, how could this man?

371
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:20.919
<v Speaker 2>How could he do this? Does he not know that

372
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:23.799
<v Speaker 2>she's this this sinner? Like how could she be associated with?

373
00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:26.240
<v Speaker 2>How could he be associated with this person? I love

374
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:27.879
<v Speaker 2>it because Jesus like, hey, just you know, you know

375
00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:30.279
<v Speaker 2>you have your flaws too, bro, Like, I love that

376
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:31.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of put him in his place.

377
00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and so let me let me address the fact

378
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:37.960
<v Speaker 1>that this lesson, right, we talked about the lesson is

379
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:40.399
<v Speaker 1>the distinctive part. And he says, a man loan money

380
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:42.320
<v Speaker 1>to two people five hundred pieces of silver into one

381
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:44.320
<v Speaker 1>fifty pieces, but either the coup play him, so you

382
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:46.799
<v Speaker 1>kind of forgive them both canceling their debts. Who do

383
00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:50.759
<v Speaker 1>you suppose loved him more? After that? And then they said,

384
00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I suppose the one whom he canceled a larger debt.

385
00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:56.039
<v Speaker 1>He said, yeah, that's right. And then he said to

386
00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the woman, you know, and then she's talking. She's talking

387
00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:00.639
<v Speaker 1>about the fact that she's more of a her, she's

388
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.360
<v Speaker 1>done more notorious things than the people perhaps in the room,

389
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:06.079
<v Speaker 1>and yet she's forgiven more, and so she's she's thankful more.

390
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:06.319
<v Speaker 2>Right.

391
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:09.119
<v Speaker 1>Well, let me let me just say this. There are

392
00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:12.440
<v Speaker 1>people listening out there. Most most of everybody who listens

393
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:14.640
<v Speaker 1>to our podcast are Christians, right, I would say almost

394
00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:17.759
<v Speaker 1>all right, because Christians want to grow and there may

395
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:20.880
<v Speaker 1>be some people who might be inquisitive or listening. And

396
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:23.720
<v Speaker 1>and by the way, if you are, you know the

397
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:26.599
<v Speaker 1>plan of salvation is by faith, not by not by deeds.

398
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:30.880
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, my point is this is that my wife,

399
00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:34.680
<v Speaker 1>her story of salvation is simply this. She's like, well,

400
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:38.759
<v Speaker 1>when I was five years old, I received Christ. I

401
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:41.680
<v Speaker 1>never did anything wrong before then, really, and then my

402
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:43.720
<v Speaker 1>parents were Christians, and I grew up in a great household.

403
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:47.319
<v Speaker 1>The end, that's her, that's her big, huge story. And

404
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:50.200
<v Speaker 1>then there then she married somebody like me who God

405
00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:52.920
<v Speaker 1>saves me from, you know, you know, being in juvenile

406
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.000
<v Speaker 1>a couple of times, you know, all these different things

407
00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:59.960
<v Speaker 1>where look at that that beated and looked, huh okay,

408
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:03.599
<v Speaker 1>there we go. So God saves me from from this

409
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:06.759
<v Speaker 1>notorious lifestyle. And there are people who would say, man,

410
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:09.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a story like that, yeah, right, Like

411
00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:11.400
<v Speaker 1>like my story is sort of like Liz's story. It's like,

412
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:13.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't have this, you know, ray big story.

413
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:15.480
<v Speaker 1>God didn't save me from five hundred pieces of silver

414
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:17.640
<v Speaker 1>because I didn't have that big of a dace, right,

415
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:19.960
<v Speaker 1>God only forgave me I have fifty pieces of sober,

416
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:23.960
<v Speaker 1>or technically like Liz, two pieces of sober. Right, Here's

417
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:26.279
<v Speaker 1>what I would say, and this is this is this

418
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.519
<v Speaker 1>is a very strong truth. Every listener is the five

419
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.599
<v Speaker 1>hundred pieces of silver, because we all deserve hell. So

420
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:38.359
<v Speaker 1>one sinner, one sin makes you sinner, right, and therefore

421
00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:41.400
<v Speaker 1>one sin separates you from God. Every single one of

422
00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:44.200
<v Speaker 1>us are in the same vote. If you've been rescued

423
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:48.880
<v Speaker 1>from Hell, then you are the person with five hundred

424
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:50.200
<v Speaker 1>pieces of silver being forgiven.

425
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, paid the price for yep.

426
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Right, So let's not let's not forget that. So now

427
00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Jesus obviously is referring to the sins that she's doing

428
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:02.920
<v Speaker 1>in culture, in society, which are greater, right, But let's

429
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:05.480
<v Speaker 1>not forget the fact that if you have a Liz

430
00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:09.640
<v Speaker 1>type story, that you can be as grateful as this

431
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:12.640
<v Speaker 1>woman because all of us have been rescued from Hell. Yeah,

432
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:15.519
<v Speaker 1>and if heaven is the only thing that we get

433
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:18.519
<v Speaker 1>by accepting Christ, it will have been more than worth it.

434
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah right.

435
00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:20.799
<v Speaker 2>I think what he's doing there too, is he's kind

436
00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:23.079
<v Speaker 2>of challenging the thinking of the Pharisees who thought that

437
00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:25.039
<v Speaker 2>this woman was too far gone, And.

438
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:26.519
<v Speaker 1>It's exactly right, I think.

439
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:29.039
<v Speaker 2>Like so for me, I have a cousin of mine who,

440
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:32.160
<v Speaker 2>when he was growing up was man like a hellion

441
00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:35.160
<v Speaker 2>like in the area like just the type of person

442
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:36.759
<v Speaker 2>who I would always try to be a good example

443
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:38.079
<v Speaker 2>to him is a few years not going to be.

444
00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:39.559
<v Speaker 2>I always try to talk to him about Jesus. But

445
00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:40.680
<v Speaker 2>it was one of those things. You know, you ever

446
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:42.519
<v Speaker 2>meet those people who you're like, I wonder if they'll

447
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:44.240
<v Speaker 2>ever become a Chratian, Like I bet you all these

448
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:46.400
<v Speaker 2>people come, but I do wonder if he'll ever become

449
00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:48.400
<v Speaker 2>like you know those people. Yeah, That's that's what he

450
00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:50.359
<v Speaker 2>was like in my life, like just somebody who I

451
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:52.279
<v Speaker 2>was like, Man, I'm gonna pray for him, I'm gonna

452
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:54.799
<v Speaker 2>try to guide him, but that is man, God has

453
00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:57.160
<v Speaker 2>really got to do something with him. So sure enough,

454
00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:00.119
<v Speaker 2>what ended up happening was he got into college, like

455
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.319
<v Speaker 2>after you graduated high school, and this was like addicted to it,

456
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:06.000
<v Speaker 2>to you know, drug addict. He in tons of debt

457
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:08.519
<v Speaker 2>early on in college, car accidents, all this stuff. Like

458
00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:11.119
<v Speaker 2>just just I'm like, how is he still alive? Honestly,

459
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:13.480
<v Speaker 2>is like nineteen twenty years old. He becomes friends with

460
00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:16.359
<v Speaker 2>somebody that I know, he starts attending our churches young

461
00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:18.359
<v Speaker 2>adult ministry, and I found out a few months later,

462
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:20.359
<v Speaker 2>like he's been going and so I'm like, wait, my

463
00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:22.880
<v Speaker 2>cousin's been going to this young adult ministry. So I

464
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:24.160
<v Speaker 2>go to meet up with him get lunch. I'm like, hey,

465
00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:26.200
<v Speaker 2>I've been heard you've been going to church. I was like,

466
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:27.759
<v Speaker 2>what's what's And I'm thinking in my mind, I'm like

467
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:29.000
<v Speaker 2>it must be for some girls.

468
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:29.799
<v Speaker 1>He's trying to, you.

469
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:31.759
<v Speaker 2>Know, like there's there's got to be some sort of

470
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:33.079
<v Speaker 2>heard plenty of stories like that.

471
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:33.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

472
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:35.599
<v Speaker 2>So then sure enough he's like he's like no, no, He's like, actually,

473
00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:38.839
<v Speaker 2>I wait till like the service starts, and then I

474
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:41.680
<v Speaker 2>leave before it's over because I want my focus to

475
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:44.519
<v Speaker 2>be like intentionally on like God. And I was like,

476
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:47.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, who is this person? Like I'm already like

477
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:48.640
<v Speaker 2>my mind are you? My mind is blown?

478
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:48.839
<v Speaker 1>Right.

479
00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:51.319
<v Speaker 2>Then a few weeks later, you know, he ends up

480
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:53.640
<v Speaker 2>joining a small group with some guys. He starts meeting

481
00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:55.839
<v Speaker 2>some guys that they start telling me, oh, your cousin's amazing.

482
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:58.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, really, do we know the same person? Then

483
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:00.839
<v Speaker 2>a few if you want, after that, I'm over at

484
00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:02.319
<v Speaker 2>his house. We're hanging out and he's like he's like

485
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:03.680
<v Speaker 2>showing me. He's like, oh, I've been reading these books.

486
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:05.720
<v Speaker 2>He shows me, he's reading not a fan. Remember that

487
00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:09.079
<v Speaker 2>book by Kyle Edelman, The God. What was the one

488
00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:11.519
<v Speaker 2>with Francis Chan that was really popular? I had, like

489
00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:13.880
<v Speaker 2>the red Crazy Love. Yeah, he's reading that and he's

490
00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:15.599
<v Speaker 2>telling me, he's like, you know the book Crazy Love.

491
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:17.119
<v Speaker 2>The thing I love about it is like when he's

492
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:19.759
<v Speaker 2>saying these things, I'm like, who are you Like? This

493
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:22.960
<v Speaker 2>was a person who I could have never imagined speaking

494
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:25.119
<v Speaker 2>in those terms or having a soft heart towards God,

495
00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:27.359
<v Speaker 2>and then God just wrecked him. And I think when

496
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:29.319
<v Speaker 2>I read a story like this, it's a reminder that

497
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:31.799
<v Speaker 2>there are those people, and there's that God is working

498
00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:34.920
<v Speaker 2>on those people that you think there's no chance that

499
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:36.880
<v Speaker 2>they'll ever come to know Jesus. And God is working

500
00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:37.559
<v Speaker 2>on those people.

501
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So a moment ago, I said that there could

502
00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:44.240
<v Speaker 1>be people listening who aren't Christians, and probably most are.

503
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:46.839
<v Speaker 1>But if you're listening to the podcast because somebody sent

504
00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:49.680
<v Speaker 1>this to you, just know this, You're not too far gone.

505
00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:53.319
<v Speaker 1>Nobody is too far gone. In fact, no matter how

506
00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:56.400
<v Speaker 1>far away that you feel from God, you are one

507
00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:58.799
<v Speaker 1>step away. Yeah, and the one step away is a

508
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:01.279
<v Speaker 1>step of faith. And so you know the Bible says

509
00:22:01.319 --> 00:22:05.039
<v Speaker 1>that we have to just realize that everybody's a sinner

510
00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:07.839
<v Speaker 1>and that that sin separates us from God. And the

511
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:10.400
<v Speaker 1>Bible actually says that sin demands a price, and that

512
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:13.720
<v Speaker 1>price is death. Romans five says the payment of sin

513
00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:15.559
<v Speaker 1>is death, but the free gift of God is eternal

514
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:18.839
<v Speaker 1>life through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So the Bible talks

515
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:22.039
<v Speaker 1>about how good deeds aren't a way to get to heaven.

516
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:25.279
<v Speaker 1>Heaven is not a reward for good deeds. The only

517
00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:27.160
<v Speaker 1>thing we have to do is not trust in ourselves

518
00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:28.759
<v Speaker 1>to get to heaven, but trust in what was done

519
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:31.200
<v Speaker 1>for us already in the cross of Cavalry. So the

520
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:34.599
<v Speaker 1>Bible says, with childlike faith, we just pray and put

521
00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:37.960
<v Speaker 1>our faith in trust. We confess believe, we have faith,

522
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:40.359
<v Speaker 1>and so we just say, God, come into my life.

523
00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:42.519
<v Speaker 1>I trust you, I believe in you. I believe in

524
00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:45.000
<v Speaker 1>your death, beryl and resurrection, and I'm gonna put you

525
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:47.000
<v Speaker 1>first in my life. I repent of my sins. I'm

526
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:50.319
<v Speaker 1>sorry of my sins. God, I'm asking you to save

527
00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:53.599
<v Speaker 1>me and my soul. So a simple and by the way,

528
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:57.160
<v Speaker 1>there's not a formulated prayer. You just express that with

529
00:22:57.240 --> 00:22:59.640
<v Speaker 1>any words that you want to with your heart and

530
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:04.400
<v Speaker 1>real that God saves sinners by faith, even those who

531
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:08.200
<v Speaker 1>are uneducated, who feel notorious, who feel far from God,

532
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:12.319
<v Speaker 1>and who have faith. So here's here's this woman, and

533
00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:17.440
<v Speaker 1>she is, you know, pouring everything out. And Jesus is saying,

534
00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:19.799
<v Speaker 1>this woman has done all the things that you should

535
00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:22.039
<v Speaker 1>have done as Christian. And that's my favorite part, right

536
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:25.200
<v Speaker 1>because they're like, oh, she's this, you know, she she

537
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:27.240
<v Speaker 1>could have sold this for the poor, and I can't

538
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:29.559
<v Speaker 1>believe she's in here, and I can't believe she's doing this.

539
00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:32.799
<v Speaker 1>She's she's making a disruption. And these people feel like

540
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.599
<v Speaker 1>they're superior. Yeah, like, doesn't it feel like entitled or superior?

541
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:40.200
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't say that, but it's sort of the posture,

542
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:43.160
<v Speaker 1>isn't it. And what Jesus is saying is is he's

543
00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:45.200
<v Speaker 1>really saying you should have been more like her.

544
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:46.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah she's chosen once better.

545
00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, you should be more like her because you

546
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:51.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't do any of these things for me and she did.

547
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:55.440
<v Speaker 1>And then and then I love also the part at

548
00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:57.559
<v Speaker 1>the very end where he says, your faith has saved

549
00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:00.960
<v Speaker 1>you go and you go in peace, and really it's

550
00:24:01.079 --> 00:24:06.240
<v Speaker 1>it's her repentance. It's her acknowledgement that he is Jesus,

551
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:08.880
<v Speaker 1>he is Lord. She is treating him like a king,

552
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:13.240
<v Speaker 1>only a spiritual king, and you know, recognizing his lordship.

553
00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:15.839
<v Speaker 1>And he's saying, it is your faith that has saved you.

554
00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:18.920
<v Speaker 1>And I love that he says that, because he says

555
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:23.000
<v Speaker 1>that in response to their rumblings, who is this man

556
00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:25.440
<v Speaker 1>that he goes around forgiving sins? They're putting the pa

557
00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:28.160
<v Speaker 1>they're putting the authority on him, which he does have authority,

558
00:24:28.359 --> 00:24:32.880
<v Speaker 1>right yeah, but he's then announcing that it's actually her

559
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:36.519
<v Speaker 1>faith that has saved her. It's cool, right, yeah, And

560
00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:38.000
<v Speaker 1>so it's it's really cool.

561
00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:40.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. My only to find a takeaway I'd like to

562
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:43.200
<v Speaker 2>say too, is the story starts off with this Pharisee Simon.

563
00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:46.039
<v Speaker 2>I would just say, don't be that guy. Right, as

564
00:24:46.119 --> 00:24:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Christians here we are in twenty twenty five, don't be

565
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:52.039
<v Speaker 2>that guy. You know, we as we have a responsibility

566
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:55.039
<v Speaker 2>to still like to not just you know, like you're saying,

567
00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:59.200
<v Speaker 2>have that posturing or pretending like you're something special or

568
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:02.200
<v Speaker 2>concan rink yourself above others. We should do exactly what

569
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Jesus did in this In this scenario.

570
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's great.

571
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Good.

572
00:25:05.119 --> 00:25:07.519
<v Speaker 1>Well, hey that is our time, so thanks for joining

573
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:09.359
<v Speaker 1>us and hopefully we will see you next time on

574
00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:11.759
<v Speaker 1>the Bible guys. See it h
