00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to The Bible Guys, a podcast where a

2
00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>couple of friends talk about the Bible in fun in

3
00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>practical ways. Hey, good morning, everybody. Welcome to the Bible Guys.

4
00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm Chris, and this is Jeff and here we are.

5
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:18.559
<v Speaker 2>And I'm glad to be here, are you? Yeah? I am.

6
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:21.559
<v Speaker 2>And today is a very special day, Chris. Why because

7
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:26.239
<v Speaker 2>we are continuing this almost never ending quest to find

8
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:31.519
<v Speaker 2>the very best Bible Guy's theme song. Right So it's

9
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:33.200
<v Speaker 2>just consuming us right now.

10
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Is it?

11
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:36.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Yes, wow? And I didn't know that we're trying

12
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:38.840
<v Speaker 2>to figure out because you know, you've mentioned before we

13
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:41.560
<v Speaker 2>should redo the roll in and all those kinds of things.

14
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.039
<v Speaker 1>For sure, So before we do that, only because it's

15
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:46.200
<v Speaker 1>like we still headphones.

16
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:48.159
<v Speaker 2>On, it was a long time. It was a long

17
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:53.560
<v Speaker 2>time ago, studios ago. Yes, So anyways, we're trying to

18
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:57.079
<v Speaker 2>figure out this Bible Guy's jingle and so today what

19
00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:58.960
<v Speaker 2>we thought we would do is and this is one

20
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.119
<v Speaker 2>of the most requested segments we do, by the way, Oh,

21
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 2>people love it when you do it. Last time we

22
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>did it, that you did you did a Bible Guys

23
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.760
<v Speaker 2>jingle to the tune of the Stars starts Angel Banner,

24
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.120
<v Speaker 2>which so far I think has the most votes. So

25
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.120
<v Speaker 2>that's pretty good. Uh and and it has all of

26
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:20.359
<v Speaker 2>the the fun ash and oomph that a show like

27
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:25.040
<v Speaker 2>ours deserves. That so right. But on the other side,

28
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:28.239
<v Speaker 2>because we're a podcast and a couple of guys who

29
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:30.560
<v Speaker 2>like to talk about the Bible and finding practical ways

30
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.359
<v Speaker 2>if you want listening to the rolling and so we

31
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:36.640
<v Speaker 2>thought maybe you should try doing it to the tune

32
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.640
<v Speaker 2>of the Golden Girls. Wow, just a couple of friends,

33
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah right, you know the tune thank you for me

34
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:44.079
<v Speaker 2>and my yeah, yeah, yeah.

35
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, all right, So just a minute ago Jeff

36
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>went ahead and asked chat GPT.

37
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:53.120
<v Speaker 2>That's right, I typed it in. I typed in and

38
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.760
<v Speaker 2>here's my question. My question was, help me write a

39
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:57.799
<v Speaker 2>theme song for the Bible guys, a podcast about a

40
00:01:57.799 --> 00:01:59.319
<v Speaker 2>couple of friends who like to talk about the Bible

41
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.519
<v Speaker 2>and fun of practical ways to the tune of the

42
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Golden Girls theme song. That was the prompt. Yep. So

43
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.000
<v Speaker 2>it's not that big of a deal, no, And this

44
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.879
<v Speaker 2>is what it turned out to us. This brilliance, all right.

45
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:11.919
<v Speaker 1>This brilliance, all right, I'm gonna try this. I'm gonna

46
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:13.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna sing it lower. I'm not gonna make the

47
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:14.599
<v Speaker 1>same mistake my friend.

48
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:15.719
<v Speaker 2>Okay, here we go, Here we go.

49
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:22.360
<v Speaker 1>This is houtreads. They're just a couple of friends who

50
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 1>love to talk about the word. They laugh in, learn

51
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>with truths you may have never heard. That's so bad,

52
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Don dun And if you threw a Bible party, oh yeah,

53
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what that is and invited every guest,

54
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>you knew you would see the biggest Bible from me,

55
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:51.159
<v Speaker 1>and the jokes would come from these two. They're just

56
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:56.039
<v Speaker 1>a couple of friends. That's that's it.

57
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:56.919
<v Speaker 2>There you go.

58
00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:58.319
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that was rough.

59
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.159
<v Speaker 2>All right. So if we were the Golden Girls, which

60
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:01.800
<v Speaker 2>one would you be?

61
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>I would be of course Betty White, would you Yeah,

62
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:07.719
<v Speaker 1>Betty White's the goat.

63
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:11.000
<v Speaker 2>And I'm probably in my madge. Is that? That's that's

64
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:14.159
<v Speaker 2>you kind of the groupie you have to be. Okay, anyways,

65
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:18.599
<v Speaker 2>that's terrible. Anyways, Uh, that was ridiculous, Chris.

66
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I I definitely need a.

67
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Low moment in the show.

68
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:27.879
<v Speaker 1>That's a low moment.

69
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

70
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.120
<v Speaker 1>They're just a couple. Yeah, that was so low. They're

71
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:33.960
<v Speaker 1>just a couple of friends.

72
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.479
<v Speaker 2>Oh, there you go. See that's someone.

73
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>You love to talk about the words.

74
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think you went low this time because you

75
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:43.120
<v Speaker 2>started off the star spangled banners.

76
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>So much and heard oh there it goes out, he

77
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:51.439
<v Speaker 1>goes and if you threw a party, oh I'm sorry,

78
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:55.759
<v Speaker 1>a Bible party. Who throws a Bible party and invited

79
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:57.439
<v Speaker 1>every guess you knew?

80
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:00.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you.

81
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's see the biggest battle from me and the jokes

82
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.840
<v Speaker 1>would come from these two. Thank you for Oh no,

83
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:09.919
<v Speaker 1>they're just a couple of frees.

84
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.360
<v Speaker 2>So so the biggest Bible from me? Is that metaphorical

85
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:14.240
<v Speaker 2>or is that literal?

86
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm definitely assuming it's literal.

87
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:17.839
<v Speaker 2>Literal?

88
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like a like a family Bible, family Bible, Yeah

89
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:23.720
<v Speaker 1>you have one? Are you? Are you saying that like

90
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:25.879
<v Speaker 1>I have the most Bible knowledge? That's what it's timing.

91
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:27.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. That's why I was That's what I

92
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.560
<v Speaker 2>was asking because I would feel, you know, like maybe

93
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:32.000
<v Speaker 2>like that was a diss.

94
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Yes, so I can make fun of I can make

95
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.839
<v Speaker 1>fun of your shirt or your hair or your truck.

96
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.199
<v Speaker 2>None of that matters. None of that matter matter.

97
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Don't you dare say?

98
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:42.040
<v Speaker 2>How big dare.

99
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:43.759
<v Speaker 1>You are more of a Bible guy than me?

100
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:47.040
<v Speaker 2>That's right because it ends with we're friends, and I

101
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.680
<v Speaker 2>don't want to jeopardize it. That's true. Let's keep things.

102
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>That is true. That's true. That is so funny, it's ridiculous,

103
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.319
<v Speaker 1>Whereas I would probably be more offended about the hair.

104
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, yeah, So that kind of troubles me that

105
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:00.879
<v Speaker 2>you were implying that you had bigger Bible than me.

106
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 2>You know what Jesus said. Jesus said, don't let your

107
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:04.680
<v Speaker 2>hearts be troubled.

108
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, wow, Mercy, that was even worse than yesterday's.

109
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.399
<v Speaker 2>So you don't know. We always do these dumb segments

110
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:16.959
<v Speaker 2>at the beginning, if your first time listener, we do

111
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 2>these dumb segments at the beginning just to laugh, because

112
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:21.519
<v Speaker 2>we like to laugh. And then we always try to

113
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 2>find a transition into the devotional part, the Bible parts,

114
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.920
<v Speaker 2>and we try to make the worst possible transition, and

115
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:29.120
<v Speaker 2>that that was a pretty bad one.

116
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:30.839
<v Speaker 1>Well, do not let your hearts be troubled. And I

117
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:34.920
<v Speaker 1>got to tell you John fourteen is one of my

118
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:41.079
<v Speaker 1>favorite things to quote at Believe or not at funerals.

119
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, good, yeah, yeah, because I just you're a

120
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.759
<v Speaker 2>big fan, big fan of I love how.

121
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:50.920
<v Speaker 1>He multiple times in this passage says that phrase do

122
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid,

123
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.120
<v Speaker 1>because I think that that's really what he's doing, is

124
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:59.879
<v Speaker 1>he's trying to say, Hey, understand, heaven is a reality.

125
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:05.399
<v Speaker 1>Understand this is a comforting thought. Don't be worried. Right,

126
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 1>I've got this. There's a reality that I'm trying to

127
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.199
<v Speaker 1>explain to you that is just as real as the

128
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.639
<v Speaker 1>reality that you find yourself in. So that's why I

129
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:12.959
<v Speaker 1>like it.

130
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.040
<v Speaker 2>So in John chapter fourteen, verse one, he says, don't

131
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:18.800
<v Speaker 2>let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust

132
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.839
<v Speaker 2>also in me. There is more than enough room in

133
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:23.759
<v Speaker 2>my Father's home. And if this were not so, what

134
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:25.439
<v Speaker 2>I've told you that I'm going to prepare a place

135
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:27.800
<v Speaker 2>for you. When everything is ready, I will come and

136
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:29.560
<v Speaker 2>get you so that you will always be with me

137
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.319
<v Speaker 2>where I am. And you know the way to where

138
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:34.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm going. No, we don't know, Lord Thomas said, we

139
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:36.120
<v Speaker 2>have no idea where you're going, So how can we

140
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:39.000
<v Speaker 2>know the way? Jesus told him I am the Way,

141
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:40.839
<v Speaker 2>the Truth, and the life, and no one can come

142
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:43.480
<v Speaker 2>to the Father except through me. If you'd really known me,

143
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.439
<v Speaker 2>you would know who my father is from now on.

144
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.680
<v Speaker 2>You do know him and have seen him. Philip said, Lord,

145
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:52.800
<v Speaker 2>show us the Father and we'll be satisfied. Jesus replied,

146
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:54.319
<v Speaker 2>have I been with you all this time, Philip, and

147
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:56.639
<v Speaker 2>yet you still don't know who I am. Anyone who

148
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:58.639
<v Speaker 2>has seen me has seen the Father. So why are

149
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:01.360
<v Speaker 2>you asking me to show him to you? Don't you

150
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:03.639
<v Speaker 2>believe that I am in the Father and the Father's

151
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:05.800
<v Speaker 2>in me. The words I speak are not my own,

152
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:08.000
<v Speaker 2>but my Father, who lives in me, does his work

153
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.319
<v Speaker 2>through me. Just believe that I am in the Father

154
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.319
<v Speaker 2>and the Father's in me, or at least believe because

155
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:16.759
<v Speaker 2>of the work you have seen me. Do I tell

156
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:18.439
<v Speaker 2>you the truth. Anyone who believes in me will do

157
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:20.759
<v Speaker 2>the same works I have done, it even greater works,

158
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:22.959
<v Speaker 2>because I'm going to be with the Father. You can

159
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:24.800
<v Speaker 2>ask for anything in my name and I will do

160
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:27.680
<v Speaker 2>it so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes,

161
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.800
<v Speaker 2>ask me for anything in my name and I will

162
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.639
<v Speaker 2>do it. Wow, there you go, there you go.

163
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:39.120
<v Speaker 1>Yep, So Jesus is there's a lot of red letters

164
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:42.199
<v Speaker 1>here is This is all Jesus all the time right here? Yes,

165
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.800
<v Speaker 1>and he's talking about the way to the Father. But

166
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.680
<v Speaker 1>before we get to that part of it, he starts

167
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:52.000
<v Speaker 1>off this, well, this thought. I was going to say

168
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:54.040
<v Speaker 1>this chapter, but there was no chapter.

169
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:58.160
<v Speaker 2>Which back then don't for chapter fourteen. Yes, let not

170
00:07:58.199 --> 00:07:59.199
<v Speaker 2>your true heart's betrothed.

171
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:02.680
<v Speaker 1>So he's saying hearts be troubled. And then the statement

172
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>that comes after that that's connected to it, or the

173
00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:07.319
<v Speaker 1>reason why he's saying that is because he says, trust

174
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:09.480
<v Speaker 1>in God and trust also in me.

175
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Right.

176
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:12.959
<v Speaker 1>In other words, what he's saying is everything that I'm

177
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:17.360
<v Speaker 1>telling you is true. Yes, everything that I promise is true.

178
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>If you believe in the God, the Father of the universe,

179
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:24.639
<v Speaker 1>then believe in me. And then he says, I am

180
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:27.759
<v Speaker 1>the Father, are one, And he talks about you know,

181
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:33.519
<v Speaker 1>his what I want to say, like his deity, his

182
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:38.279
<v Speaker 1>claim to be equal with the Father, his importance as

183
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:43.039
<v Speaker 1>he is the only way to the Father, and do

184
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.240
<v Speaker 1>you not believe that I am the Father and the

185
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:48.919
<v Speaker 1>Father is in me? And so he's equating himself to

186
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.360
<v Speaker 1>the Father, right, which is awesome.

187
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, I just had this thought just now. It's interesting

188
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:01.519
<v Speaker 2>because you brought it up the other day. Yep. He

189
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.480
<v Speaker 2>says the words I speak are not my own, but

190
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:10.200
<v Speaker 2>my Father, who lives in me, does his work through me. Right.

191
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:14.360
<v Speaker 2>So he's saying, these works, these words, the things I do,

192
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:19.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm not doing them on my own. I'm doing them

193
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 2>through the power of my Father in me. And I

194
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.120
<v Speaker 2>thought that was interesting because I always make the claim

195
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.039
<v Speaker 2>that Jesus is doing this through the power of the

196
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Holy Spirit. It's immediately after he says that sentence that

197
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.200
<v Speaker 2>he says, let me introduce to this idea of the

198
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Holy Spirit, right, So they didn't know what the Holy

199
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.519
<v Speaker 2>Spirit was in the Jewish culture. In the Jewish belief system,

200
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:47.320
<v Speaker 2>there was God the Father. That's it. So, so that's why

201
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:50.039
<v Speaker 2>it was shocking to have this idea that God the

202
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Father would have a human son. That was a shocking idea.

203
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.080
<v Speaker 2>That Jesus says, if you've seen me, you've seen the Father.

204
00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.919
<v Speaker 2>Another place, he says, I and the Father were one.

205
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Why he says that here, yeah, yeah, well no, no,

206
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:04.919
<v Speaker 1>you're right. He says, I'm in the Father and the

207
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Father's in me, right.

208
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:10.759
<v Speaker 2>Right, And so he says, if you've seen me, you've

209
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:13.799
<v Speaker 2>seen the Father. I and the Father were one. He says,

210
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.240
<v Speaker 2>the Father's in me. That's how all these things are happening.

211
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:17.840
<v Speaker 2>And then he goes, let me, let me, let me

212
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:21.679
<v Speaker 2>introduce one more idea to you. And then he introduces

213
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:25.720
<v Speaker 2>the Holy Spirit. Because the Father, the Father, the Son,

214
00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:30.120
<v Speaker 2>and the Holy Spirit one God, three persons, right, And

215
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:34.600
<v Speaker 2>so what he's saying is here he's equating his power

216
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:38.200
<v Speaker 2>to the fact that he's connected to the Father. And

217
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:40.720
<v Speaker 2>then he introduces them to the idea of the Holy Spirit.

218
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:42.799
<v Speaker 2>And this is the moment the first time the Holy

219
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:45.919
<v Speaker 2>Spirit comes up in Jesus teaching. Isn't that interesting?

220
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, we didn't read the Holy Spirit part to me.

221
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:49.759
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, no, it comes up. It comes up next.

222
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:53.120
<v Speaker 2>But what I'm saying is he says, my power comes

223
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:55.120
<v Speaker 2>from my Father, and then he introduces limit. Let me

224
00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:56.840
<v Speaker 2>explain to you. Really, how the power comes to me

225
00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:58.720
<v Speaker 2>is the same as going to be for you. I'm

226
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:00.000
<v Speaker 2>going to give the Holy Spirit to you.

227
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:05.120
<v Speaker 3>We think that's great, yeah so so so technically no

228
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.120
<v Speaker 3>good technically because technically all we're saying here is it's

229
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.120
<v Speaker 3>not Jesus powers, it's God the Father powers.

230
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:17.039
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, but that's the same powers available to you.

231
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.159
<v Speaker 1>The God the Father power through the Holy Spirit power.

232
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:23.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yes, yeah, I every So tell me a miracle

233
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:25.600
<v Speaker 2>other than his own personal resurrection. Tell me a miracle

234
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:26.840
<v Speaker 2>that another human.

235
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:32.519
<v Speaker 1>Didn't do, another human didn't do. Well, that's assuming that

236
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:34.840
<v Speaker 1>I believe that people have raised people from the dead.

237
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Well they did, Paul did.

238
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:41.519
<v Speaker 1>Oh I'm in the Bible. I was, I was thinking today.

239
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, well they were real people.

240
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I know, thank you, thank you. They were real humans. Yes, yes,

241
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:51.840
<v Speaker 1>I know they were. So yeah, no, you're right. Other

242
00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:52.799
<v Speaker 1>than walking on the.

243
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:57.639
<v Speaker 2>Water, Elijah made the axe head float. Well, I mean

244
00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:00.840
<v Speaker 2>that's that's the same same principle. Okay, sure, solid thing

245
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:01.399
<v Speaker 2>that floated.

246
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:04.919
<v Speaker 1>Sure, sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it's not a human.

247
00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:08.799
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm telling you. So anyways, that's

248
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:11.279
<v Speaker 2>the whole other thing. So here, the main idea in

249
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.399
<v Speaker 2>this passage really is wait, wait.

250
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:17.519
<v Speaker 1>We can't move on without without you have a sense

251
00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:19.720
<v Speaker 1>that you're that you're leaning towards the fact that this

252
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.960
<v Speaker 1>proves anything. Whereas what I'm saying is I'm saying both

253
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:25.720
<v Speaker 1>can be true, both can be true. So so what

254
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying is everything you're saying is true. I don't

255
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.360
<v Speaker 1>disagree with anything you're saying, right, but I'm saying that

256
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.320
<v Speaker 1>doesn't disprove what I said, that's all, Okay. So I'm

257
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:37.679
<v Speaker 1>saying is those two things can still be true at

258
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:40.279
<v Speaker 1>the same time. That's all I'm saying, because everything.

259
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:41.879
<v Speaker 2>You're saying is in the power of the Holy Spirit

260
00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:44.159
<v Speaker 2>and his own Jesus powers.

261
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:51.519
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I'm saying. I'm saying that Jesus himself if he

262
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.840
<v Speaker 1>were exactly like us, if he were if he were

263
00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:00.440
<v Speaker 1>at absolutely zero knowledge other than what the Holy Spirit

264
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.919
<v Speaker 1>has given to him, then it wouldn't say certain things

265
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:07.919
<v Speaker 1>that just like I felt power leaving me. That's one

266
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.720
<v Speaker 1>of them, right. I think there's others, But I think,

267
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:13.960
<v Speaker 1>but I think there are things in the in the

268
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:17.919
<v Speaker 1>New Testament, like, for instance, another thing was they said

269
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:23.240
<v Speaker 1>something about why is he doing these miracles? And Jesus

270
00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:27.759
<v Speaker 1>makes the comment and says, I'm doing these miracles for

271
00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:31.080
<v Speaker 1>one reason, and that is so that everybody knows that

272
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:35.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm the Messiah. Right, So, so again that that that

273
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:40.159
<v Speaker 1>proves to you that or should prove. I think that

274
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:42.519
<v Speaker 1>there are some things that are reserved for Jesus that

275
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:45.919
<v Speaker 1>he never intended for other men, for women to do.

276
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:47.440
<v Speaker 2>But that's what I just brought up is all these

277
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:52.080
<v Speaker 2>miracles other people have done well in the fact that

278
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:53.799
<v Speaker 2>he's yeah.

279
00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:55.519
<v Speaker 1>But the fact that he I think that they were

280
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:58.720
<v Speaker 1>also referring to things that he spoke that came true

281
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:03.879
<v Speaker 1>the his wisdom. I think that that statement was reserved

282
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.000
<v Speaker 1>for the entire life of Jesus. And I just think that.

283
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:10.440
<v Speaker 1>I think that there are some things that Jesus did

284
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:15.120
<v Speaker 1>that were exclusively in his messiahship and his christ title

285
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:19.159
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't reserved for us. And I think that, and

286
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:20.799
<v Speaker 1>I think that Jesus made that clear.

287
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So it's funny our listeners going. Didn't guys just talking.

288
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:27.120
<v Speaker 1>About this yesterday, I know, I know, we brought it

289
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:31.559
<v Speaker 1>up and started gloting. Well, so I had to say things.

290
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:34.320
<v Speaker 2>So when Jesus kicks off his ministry in Luke chapter four,

291
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:36.559
<v Speaker 2>he says, the Spirit of the Lord is upon me

292
00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:39.799
<v Speaker 2>and then announces his ministries here, and this is right

293
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:45.120
<v Speaker 2>after his baptism in Matthew, Jesus says, I cast out

294
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:48.559
<v Speaker 2>these demons in the power of the Holy Spirit. So

295
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:51.679
<v Speaker 2>there's multiple times when he mentions the spirit in direct

296
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:56.440
<v Speaker 2>connection to his ministry. So was that Matthew had looked

297
00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:58.759
<v Speaker 2>it up again? Matthew twelve twenty eight. So I cast

298
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.279
<v Speaker 2>out these demons and the power the always, but he

299
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:04.519
<v Speaker 2>never references the idea of the Holy Spirit. He only

300
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:08.320
<v Speaker 2>just like drops these hints. But he never explains to

301
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:11.519
<v Speaker 2>the disciples who the Holy Spirit is until this moment

302
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:15.480
<v Speaker 2>right here. This is is that the next passage that

303
00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.440
<v Speaker 2>we didn't read here, But he's connecting it to everything

304
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:20.559
<v Speaker 2>I do. I don't do on my own. It's not

305
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:23.679
<v Speaker 2>coming from me. It's coming from my Father. And he's

306
00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:27.960
<v Speaker 2>sending the message to them that later on when he says,

307
00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:30.000
<v Speaker 2>and you're going to do even greater things than these

308
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:33.080
<v Speaker 2>than I did, he's connecting that it's possible that you

309
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:36.080
<v Speaker 2>can too, through the power of my Father. And then

310
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:38.919
<v Speaker 2>he explains it's through the Holy Spirit, right the Holy

311
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:43.519
<v Speaker 2>Spirit the Father. So all of those things come back to,

312
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.879
<v Speaker 2>quite honestly, where he's saying, I'm gonna bring you to

313
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:52.279
<v Speaker 2>where I am in eternity, in my father's home, in

314
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:55.799
<v Speaker 2>my father's house. When everything's ready, I'll come and get you.

315
00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:59.919
<v Speaker 2>I love that. What does that mean. I don't even

316
00:15:59.919 --> 00:16:02.039
<v Speaker 2>know what that means. To mence with you when I'm

317
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:06.960
<v Speaker 2>done building this house. He created the entire universe in

318
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:09.600
<v Speaker 2>six days, right, So how long does it take to bill?

319
00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:10.600
<v Speaker 2>It must be a nice house.

320
00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:17.840
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna love it. I'm spending so much time on us.

321
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, or is it when it's your turn.

322
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:26.159
<v Speaker 1>It's getting vaulted ceilings arches for the doorway. These are

323
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:28.039
<v Speaker 1>just normal square arches.

324
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:37.279
<v Speaker 2>The plaster work is impeccable, so the crown molding is

325
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:42.200
<v Speaker 2>cut perfectly. Wait to see the home theater, right. So,

326
00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:44.240
<v Speaker 2>so I don't think he's talking about I'm in the

327
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.159
<v Speaker 2>process of building this and when all the permits come through,

328
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:48.759
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna come and get you.

329
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:51.159
<v Speaker 1>I think we had to go down to Hell and

330
00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:52.919
<v Speaker 1>get a contractor and everything.

331
00:16:55.639 --> 00:17:02.399
<v Speaker 2>And the code official. Yeah. So, oh, oh my goodness.

332
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:04.400
<v Speaker 2>So I don't think that's what he's talking about. When

333
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:06.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm done building this, I'm going to come and get you.

334
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:09.559
<v Speaker 2>An what he's saying is, when your time is done,

335
00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:11.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to come and get you. Is that what

336
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:11.720
<v Speaker 2>do you think he's saying?

337
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:13.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I do.

338
00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:16.240
<v Speaker 2>I do, because when it's ready for you, when I'm

339
00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:17.599
<v Speaker 2>ready for you, I'm going to come and get you.

340
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:20.640
<v Speaker 1>I personally think this falls into the same category as

341
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:24.279
<v Speaker 1>all the other analogies that Jesus makes, right, so he's

342
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:31.640
<v Speaker 1>able to he's able to communicate truths through things that

343
00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:34.240
<v Speaker 1>people understand, which is why he says he separates the

344
00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:36.799
<v Speaker 1>sheep and the goats, right, It's the reason why get

345
00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:39.680
<v Speaker 1>they're literally not sheep and they're not goats right right.

346
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:41.920
<v Speaker 1>There are those who know him those who don't know him,

347
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:45.480
<v Speaker 1>So this is something that people can understand. He's talking

348
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:49.920
<v Speaker 1>about a house. He's preparing. There's room, You're welcome, you know.

349
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Back then, in the Middle East and even today, in

350
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:55.880
<v Speaker 1>some cultures, what they do is they just continue to

351
00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:59.200
<v Speaker 1>build on to structures, so as the family grows, they

352
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:01.599
<v Speaker 1>don't just ship them off like Americans do. Hey, you're eighteen,

353
00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:04.279
<v Speaker 1>get on my household, right, that's the American mentality, that's

354
00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:07.559
<v Speaker 1>the West mentality. But in the Middle East even today,

355
00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:11.160
<v Speaker 1>they just continue to build bigger houses and stay together

356
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:13.240
<v Speaker 1>as a family, which is why you and I drive

357
00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:16.279
<v Speaker 1>around them. We see these million dollar mansions and we say, oh,

358
00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:19.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's that's I know who lives there, right,

359
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:23.000
<v Speaker 1>because that's that culture and that's what they do, you know,

360
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:25.160
<v Speaker 1>And so I think that that's what he's doing. He's

361
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:32.279
<v Speaker 1>using a literal house building metaphor for talking about a

362
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:33.480
<v Speaker 1>place for them.

363
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:36.920
<v Speaker 2>In heaven, so that when everything's ready. That's the joke

364
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:39.559
<v Speaker 2>I was making this. I think it's I think what

365
00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:42.119
<v Speaker 2>he means is when I'm ready for you, Yes, I'm

366
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:45.480
<v Speaker 2>going to come and get you. And I love that

367
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:49.960
<v Speaker 2>that this death process, you're not alone. It feels alone, right,

368
00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:51.680
<v Speaker 2>but you're not a loan. He said, I'm going to

369
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:53.519
<v Speaker 2>come and get you. Bible says it's a pointed that

370
00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:55.519
<v Speaker 2>a man wants to die and after this the judgment,

371
00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:58.920
<v Speaker 2>so I have an appointment. I think he's referencing that

372
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:01.960
<v Speaker 2>appointment right when everything's ready. But I love the fact

373
00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:03.279
<v Speaker 2>that he's going to come and get us. He doesn't

374
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:08.359
<v Speaker 2>leave us alone. He comes and gets us. Uh. I

375
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:11.799
<v Speaker 2>have to travel to India just in a couple of days,

376
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:16.440
<v Speaker 2>and I've already coordinated who who's you know, who's going

377
00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:17.960
<v Speaker 2>to meet me at the hotel, Who's going to meet

378
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:19.480
<v Speaker 2>me at the right It helps a lot when you're

379
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:21.519
<v Speaker 2>in a new culture, when you're going to a new place,

380
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:24.839
<v Speaker 2>you kind of set up. It helps a lot when

381
00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:26.880
<v Speaker 2>somebody's standing there. When you walk out of the airport

382
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:29.200
<v Speaker 2>in the international airport, somebody's got to sign with your

383
00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:31.279
<v Speaker 2>name on it right right. My wife and I we

384
00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:34.240
<v Speaker 2>had to go. We flew to New Delhi a while back,

385
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:37.839
<v Speaker 2>and the hotel we were staying in sent a car.

386
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:40.079
<v Speaker 2>It was a nice, really nice hotel, and they sent

387
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:42.480
<v Speaker 2>a car. And this guy's standing there and the guy's

388
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:44.720
<v Speaker 2>hat on and his fancy uniform and he's holding the

389
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:46.720
<v Speaker 2>sign it says Jeff and Bonnie Ports or mister and

390
00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:49.160
<v Speaker 2>missus Forster what it says on the thing. So it's

391
00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:52.880
<v Speaker 2>just chaos. There's so many people, there's so much going on.

392
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:54.759
<v Speaker 1>There's so many people.

393
00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:57.920
<v Speaker 2>There's a there's in India and and and there. There's

394
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:01.240
<v Speaker 2>there's a certain amount of anxiety of I don't know

395
00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:03.240
<v Speaker 2>where to go. I don't know what to do, I

396
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:05.119
<v Speaker 2>don't know all the customs. I don't know even know

397
00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:08.119
<v Speaker 2>how to speak the language right right, But man doesn't

398
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:10.720
<v Speaker 2>help when somebody says, I'll be there for you. We

399
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:13.279
<v Speaker 2>were just same thing Morocco, and we had a friend

400
00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:16.680
<v Speaker 2>that one of the guys I was traveling with knew him,

401
00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:19.039
<v Speaker 2>and so he met us with his own personal car

402
00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:20.559
<v Speaker 2>and he got us and he took us to his

403
00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:23.839
<v Speaker 2>house and his wife made this amazing dinner for us,

404
00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:27.799
<v Speaker 2>and it felt so much more comfortable having somebody that

405
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:30.920
<v Speaker 2>you know meet you there, get you to their home

406
00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:36.319
<v Speaker 2>and feed you. Right. And I love the attitude of that.

407
00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:39.039
<v Speaker 2>It feels so much better when you know all you're

408
00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:40.880
<v Speaker 2>doing is when you get off the plane, you're going

409
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:44.000
<v Speaker 2>to meet Jesus and he's got it under control, and

410
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:45.519
<v Speaker 2>you're going to go to his dad's house and it's

411
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna be amazing. That's what he's saying. He doesn't tell

412
00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:50.680
<v Speaker 2>us tons about eternity, but he does say it's going

413
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:52.240
<v Speaker 2>to be okay, and I've got you covered and I've

414
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:56.119
<v Speaker 2>planned for you. You're not just some stranger in some

415
00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:01.160
<v Speaker 2>strange country. You're a guest. You're a fan member of

416
00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:03.599
<v Speaker 2>the king, and you're going to be invited into the

417
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:05.559
<v Speaker 2>house when he's ready for you. Yeah. So I love that.

418
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:08.240
<v Speaker 1>And so Jesus talks about heaven and talking about them

419
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:10.880
<v Speaker 1>and he says, I will always be with you. You'll know

420
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:13.279
<v Speaker 1>where I am and you'll know the way. And he's

421
00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:15.640
<v Speaker 1>talking about heaven, right, and then and then Jesus and

422
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:19.359
<v Speaker 1>then Thomas Thomas is disciples say, uh no, we don't know, Lord,

423
00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:21.720
<v Speaker 1>we have no idea where you are going, So how

424
00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:24.640
<v Speaker 1>can we know the way. It's it's almost like you're

425
00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:28.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's talking about one thing and Thomas has

426
00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:29.559
<v Speaker 1>no idea what he's talking about.

427
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:30.680
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea where we're going next.

428
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, It's like it's like you remember when.

429
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:35.440
<v Speaker 2>He was going to Nazareth again, right, heading down to Jerusalem?

430
00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Right, do you remember when he was Uh, he just

431
00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:41.640
<v Speaker 1>got done with the woman at the well and uh,

432
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:43.519
<v Speaker 1>And they said, Lord, aren't you hungry? And he said,

433
00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:46.519
<v Speaker 1>I have food that you don't know about. And they're like,

434
00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:47.440
<v Speaker 1>who gave him food?

435
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:49.279
<v Speaker 2>Right? How do you food? Hey?

436
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:52.759
<v Speaker 1>Are you? Are you carrying a Snickers? Yeah? It's like,

437
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:55.079
<v Speaker 1>what do you It's like they have no idea. They're like, like,

438
00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:57.559
<v Speaker 1>who brought him food? They're so literal, they're so literal,

439
00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:01.359
<v Speaker 1>and Jesus always speaks in these metaphors. So then Thomas says,

440
00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:03.079
<v Speaker 1>what do you mean. We don't know, we don't know

441
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:05.480
<v Speaker 1>the way. How can we know the way? Jesus is

442
00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:07.599
<v Speaker 1>still talking about heaven. He's way up here, and he says,

443
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:10.319
<v Speaker 1>I am the way, I am the truth, I'm the life.

444
00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:12.599
<v Speaker 1>No man comes to the Father except through me. You

445
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:14.680
<v Speaker 1>want to know the way you're looking at him? Right,

446
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.680
<v Speaker 1>And it's just it's an incredible conversation of just showing

447
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:22.359
<v Speaker 1>like It's like Nicodemus too in John chapter three where

448
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:24.480
<v Speaker 1>he says you must be born again and he says,

449
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:26.519
<v Speaker 1>you mean I'm supposed to crawl into my mother's womb,

450
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:28.720
<v Speaker 1>And He's like, how could you be a rabbi and

451
00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:31.920
<v Speaker 1>not understand the metaphor the spiritual things in which I'm

452
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:32.559
<v Speaker 1>talking about?

453
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Right, So then Philip goes, well, just show us the

454
00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:36.559
<v Speaker 2>Father then, if you're the only way to the Father,

455
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:37.200
<v Speaker 2>show us the Father.

456
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:38.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and you'll be satisfied.

457
00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:42.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, prove it?

458
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:45.319
<v Speaker 1>Right? He say, hey, we're prove it, indicating we're not

459
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:49.359
<v Speaker 1>currently satisfied. Right, We're not satisfied with that claim.

460
00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:52.759
<v Speaker 2>I love these guys. I love these guys, and sometimes

461
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:55.240
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I'm that thick headed yeah that I

462
00:22:55.559 --> 00:22:56.640
<v Speaker 2>just don't always get it.

463
00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:58.680
<v Speaker 1>But well, he calls Philip out. Have I been with

464
00:22:58.759 --> 00:23:01.200
<v Speaker 1>you all this time? Philip? And you still don't know

465
00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:04.119
<v Speaker 1>who I am? Right, anyone has seen me. Wh's seen

466
00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:07.880
<v Speaker 1>He's seen the Father? So wow, what what a claim?

467
00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:10.200
<v Speaker 1>And so Jesus is coming out with it here because

468
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:13.359
<v Speaker 1>after all, he's coming to the end, right, this is

469
00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:17.160
<v Speaker 1>this is Uh, he had already predicted Peter's denial. Uh,

470
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:20.880
<v Speaker 1>he already predicted his betrayal just before this, and he's

471
00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:23.680
<v Speaker 1>coming to the end. He's sort of holding nothing back,

472
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:24.039
<v Speaker 1>isn't he.

473
00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah.

474
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:28.160
<v Speaker 1>And it's at the end of this chapter where I

475
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:30.279
<v Speaker 1>mentioned at the very beginning. It's at the end of

476
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:32.279
<v Speaker 1>this chapter where he says, do not let your hearts

477
00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:35.319
<v Speaker 1>be troubled, do not be afraid. After he promises the

478
00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Holy Spirit, he promises peace and peace of mind and heart,

479
00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:42.640
<v Speaker 1>which is what I just absolutely love, because you know,

480
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:49.039
<v Speaker 1>Christians do possess supernatural peace, you know, and it's it's

481
00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:52.519
<v Speaker 1>given through through God's power in our lives, through the

482
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:53.359
<v Speaker 1>power of the Holy Spirit.

483
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:57.960
<v Speaker 2>So so this phrase, which I've already referenced many many

484
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:00.240
<v Speaker 2>times over the last several weeks, this is any one

485
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:03.200
<v Speaker 2>who is verse twelve, I tell you the truth. This

486
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:06.079
<v Speaker 2>is what King James and barely verily I say under the.

487
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:09.599
<v Speaker 1>That's right, referenced by the way less than twenty times

488
00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:12.200
<v Speaker 1>in the whole Gospels. Yeah, yeah, when he says I

489
00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:13.680
<v Speaker 1>tell you the truth, it's only twenty times.

490
00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And he's really leaning in going listen.

491
00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes, listen, closely and listen carefully.

492
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:21.079
<v Speaker 2>There's no debate about this one. Yeah right, this is

493
00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:21.839
<v Speaker 2>absolute truth.

494
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Scholars refer to this as a double amen.

495
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah yeah.

496
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:28.079
<v Speaker 1>When he says, truly, I tell you, it's a double

497
00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:28.359
<v Speaker 1>a men.

498
00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:32.440
<v Speaker 2>So he says, I will tell you the truth. Anyone

499
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:34.759
<v Speaker 2>who believes in me will do the same works I've done,

500
00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:37.839
<v Speaker 2>and even greater works because I'm going to be with

501
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:40.680
<v Speaker 2>the Father. You can ask me for anything in my name,

502
00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:42.039
<v Speaker 2>and I'll do it so that the Son can bring

503
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:44.160
<v Speaker 2>glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in

504
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:45.599
<v Speaker 2>my name, and I will do it. We've talked about

505
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:49.319
<v Speaker 2>this before. That's not about a maserati, right, right, or whatever.

506
00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:52.559
<v Speaker 2>He's talking about the works I've done. If you need

507
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:54.480
<v Speaker 2>help from me, I'll make sure that you get it.

508
00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:58.440
<v Speaker 2>And then he pivots from there into if you love me,

509
00:24:58.519 --> 00:25:01.039
<v Speaker 2>keep my commandments, and then I'm going to send that

510
00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Holy Spirit. I'm going to ask my Father to send

511
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:05.599
<v Speaker 2>no spirit. So the fact that the Holy Spirit is

512
00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:08.680
<v Speaker 2>sent by the Father and him saying my power comes

513
00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:12.319
<v Speaker 2>from the Father, that's a whole other thing. But so

514
00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:16.160
<v Speaker 2>he's saying, your mission is the same mission I'm on,

515
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:19.119
<v Speaker 2>because there's going to be so many of you. You

516
00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:21.680
<v Speaker 2>guys will do far more than I did. Jesus whole

517
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:24.880
<v Speaker 2>ministry was relegated to this little country the size of

518
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:28.599
<v Speaker 2>New Jersey. And even then he didn't cover all the

519
00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:31.519
<v Speaker 2>ground there, right, He mostly was between Jerusalem and Galilee.

520
00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:36.000
<v Speaker 2>That was it, right, like ninety miles. And so he's

521
00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:39.279
<v Speaker 2>he's saying, listen, you guys will go everywhere and you'll

522
00:25:39.279 --> 00:25:42.319
<v Speaker 2>reach everybody, and you're going to get the gospel all

523
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:45.359
<v Speaker 2>around the world the impact. And I love this because

524
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:48.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm inspired by this idea that Okay, He's going to

525
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:50.680
<v Speaker 2>come and get me when he's done with me. And

526
00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:53.480
<v Speaker 2>I've said this before. I'm invincible until he's done with me.

527
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:55.720
<v Speaker 2>So are you right? Right? We all are right? We

528
00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:57.440
<v Speaker 2>all feel like, oh, what if we get canceled, What

529
00:25:57.519 --> 00:25:59.240
<v Speaker 2>if we lose our job? What if we Dude, you

530
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:02.440
<v Speaker 2>are in vincent until God's done with you. You need

531
00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:04.480
<v Speaker 2>to get on his mission. You get on his mission.

532
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:05.799
<v Speaker 2>You can ask him for anything you need and he'll

533
00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:08.359
<v Speaker 2>provide for you. That's it, dude, what's his mission to

534
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:09.160
<v Speaker 2>seeking to say?

535
00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:09.279
<v Speaker 1>That?

536
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:11.359
<v Speaker 2>Which was a loss? If you just recognize the fact

537
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:14.039
<v Speaker 2>you're in your office because there's lost people in your office,

538
00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:16.200
<v Speaker 2>you live in your neighborhood, because there's lost people in

539
00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:19.160
<v Speaker 2>your neighborhood. God puts you in the school that you're in,

540
00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:21.400
<v Speaker 2>or or in the family that you're in because there's

541
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:24.000
<v Speaker 2>lost people there. And he says, you will do greater

542
00:26:24.079 --> 00:26:27.200
<v Speaker 2>things than I did, and if you need any help,

543
00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:29.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll help you. That's what he says. What kind of

544
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:31.880
<v Speaker 2>promise is that? And yeah, we just kind of gloss

545
00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:33.559
<v Speaker 2>over it. We like to have in part. We don't

546
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:35.960
<v Speaker 2>think about the mission part too much. When he's done,

547
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:37.680
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna come and get you. It's gonna be great.

548
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Between here and there. I got a plan for You're

549
00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:41.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna do greater things than me. And it's it's one

550
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:43.359
<v Speaker 2>of the most inspiring passages in the Bible.

551
00:26:43.400 --> 00:26:44.400
<v Speaker 1>To me, that's awesome.

552
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:45.559
<v Speaker 2>And then I love the fact that he ties to

553
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:46.920
<v Speaker 2>the Holy Spirit into it. He said you can do

554
00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:47.240
<v Speaker 2>it too.

555
00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:50.359
<v Speaker 1>That's great. Well, hey, that is our time, so hopefully

556
00:26:50.359 --> 00:27:01.680
<v Speaker 1>we will see you tomorrow on the Bible gush
