Well, I was traveling. 15 00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.880 I was out of the country, traveling the world. That's right. 16 00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:49.119 Only so I took my wife with me, which was neat. 17 00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:51.240 You don't get to take Bonnie with me. It's neat, 18 00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:55.159 and we had neat. Neat is one of my favorite words. 19 00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.600 We went to India. I had a project. I was 20 00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:01.560 working on it, and then I had a couple of 21 00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:05.480 days break there between that project and then I was 22 00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:10.040 meeting with leaders in Iraq and in Lebanon. So I 23 00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:14.719 only take Bonnie to the nicest vacation place kids, and 24 00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:18.239 so during that little break I took her up. We 25 00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:21.200 stayed in New Delhi at this palace. It was fabulous, 26 00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:25.079 and then we went over to the Taj Mahll. Yeah, 27 00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.159 she had her phone stolen while we were. 28 00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:33.359 Yeah, there's my brother who goes to India often told 29 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.040 me how big the thieving happened. 30 00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:36.879 You know, Oh, it's huge. 31 00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:41.120 Yeah, it's it's it's all over the place. That's so said. 32 00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:45.640 Well, anyways, we have today a segment that one of 33 00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.120 these days it feels to me like we're gonna run 34 00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:50.959 out of movies that you don't know that, you know what. 35 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.040 That's probably true, but probably not for the next one. 36 00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:58.959 We're only like eight hundred episodes in so seven hundred 37 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.760 whatever it is, so we probably have several thousand more 38 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.519 before we get there. But uh, here we're doing a 39 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:06.920 movie bove movie buff quiz. 40 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.360 I get so anxious when we when we enter into 41 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.560 these segments. I don't know why. And so he that is, 42 00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:15.599 if you're giving me Bible trivia movie trivia, yeah, I know, 43 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:17.360 but you don't want to, he cares. 44 00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:22.039 So Desiree wrote, let's test Chris's movie knowledge and see 45 00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:25.439 if he can guess the movie on these one line descriptions. 46 00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:28.280 So you're going to describe the plot one line line description. 47 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.199 So for our listeners, you just try to beat me. Yes, right, 48 00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:32.520 you try to shout it out before I do. 49 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:33.599 That's that's correct. 50 00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.319 Okay. And Chad usually beats me. He said, Chad's at home, 51 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.360 and he always goes, hey, guess what he goes. I 52 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.360 beat you like three times out of the five. There 53 00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:42.479 you go or whatever it is. So Chad, I'm gonna 54 00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:44.800 try it. My goal, my personal goal is to beat Chad. 55 00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:45.960 Yes, are you ready? 56 00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:46.759 Yes, here we go. 57 00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:49.759 A man wakes up every morning with no memory, but 58 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:55.680 he's determined.

Okay. 80 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.240 A man tries to quit a reality TV show but 81 00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:47.400 realizes he's been in it his entire life. 82 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:48.360 The Truman Show. 83 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:48.800 There you go. 84 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.280 Okay, dang it, I was I bet you Chad beat 85 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:51.919 me on that one. 86 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.120 A woman has an awful job interview, so she steals 87 00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:56.719 her dad stuff and joins the army. 88 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:02.240 What that's not mulan, is it?

That was not sleeping. 131 00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:59.360 And by the way, he didn't play with a toy. 132 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:03.120 Are you really referring whoever wrote this the totem?

Okay, so both descripts. He didn't It was 145 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:44.839 not sleeping, and it was not sleeping. So okay, boo 146 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:49.560 on that, I claim one hundred percent victory. I claim 147 00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:54.079 one hundred percent victory and shame on the world for 148 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:56.199 coming up with such ridiculous description. 149 00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:57.800 Okay, well. 150 00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:00.480 I am make Chris mad. 151 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.720 That's it, so so so so. 152 00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:07.000 The real question I have in my mind is who 153 00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.560 out there got it from that descriptor. I don't know 154 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.920 because I'm pretty literal, right, and somebody might hear sleep 155 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:14.040 and go oh uh. 156 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:18.920 Probably that reminds me listeners who got it immediately, somebody who. 157 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:22.959 Might say, oh, they're they're describing inception right, because because 158 00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:25.279 they're not so literal like I am, right, because I'm 159 00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.199 thinking literal sleep literal. 160 00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:29.759 You feel dishonored, Chris, Uh. 161 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.920 No, I don't feel dishonored. I feel I feel I 162 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:34.279 feel like there's an injustice. 163 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:38.600 Jesus felt dishonored. Jesus said a prophet has no honor. 164 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:44.000 That fits right with our saying today. That's a great transition, 165 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:46.800 Jesus said, has. 166 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:50.920 No honor in his hometown. Oh good one. 167 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:53.399 That it was a good one. That wasn't a bad transition, 168 00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:54.199 that was actually a good one. 169 00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:57.000 Yeah. Well, okay, so you failed. I failed. I failed 170 00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:58.040 at my bad transitions. 171 00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:01.399 Yeah, because you actually well. 172 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.959 So we are in this idea So what we're doing 173 00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:06.959 is we're taking key statements that Jesus made. Yes, we're 174 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:08.720 not saying all of them, but we're gonna do like 175 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:12.240 fifty sixty of them something like that. And it's the 176 00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:14.120 premise is what if Jesus had his own podcast, what 177 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:16.720 would he be talking about? Yeah, and so here's one, 178 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:21.800 here's an interesting topic that Jesus dealt with, and we 179 00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:26.519 find it in Luke chapter four, verse sixteen, and we're 180 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:27.600 going to go through thirty eight. 181 00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:30.560 By the way, I just heard this that Arnold Schwarzenegger's 182 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:34.240 favorite line from any catchphrase movie he's ever done is 183 00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:38.279 get down. Really yeah, he says something, but there's a chopper. 184 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:39.799 There's a chopper. Get down. 185 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:40.480 Oh okay. 186 00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:43.919 It was from Predator okay. And actually this would be 187 00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:49.799 similar to Jesus reviewing the Gospels himself at a podcast 188 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:53.480 and somebody bringing to his attention all his own his 189 00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:54.320 famous quotes. 190 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:55.720 Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. 191 00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:57.879 And it just reminded me, strangely enough. 192 00:08:57.639 --> 00:08:59.519 Of these are his famous quotes. 193 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:00.720 These are his famous quotes. 194 00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.440 They turned out they've been around for like two thousand years. 195 00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:06.240 It's not like we discovered. 196 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:08.399 Them, no, but Jesus made them famous. 197 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:12.879 Yes so. In Luke, chapter four, verse sixteen, it says 198 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:15.200 when he came to the village of Nazareth, his boy 199 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.480 home or boyhood home, he went as usual to the 200 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:21.080 synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up to read the scriptures. 201 00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:24.320 The scroll of Isaiah the Prophet was handed to him, 202 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.360 and he unrolled the scroll and found the place where 203 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:29.240 this was written. The spirit of the Lord is upon me, 204 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:31.120 for he has annoyted me to bring good news to 205 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.799 the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives 206 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:36.360 will be released, that the blind will see, that the 207 00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.679 oppressed will be set free, and that the time of 208 00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:41.559 the Lord's favor has come. And he rolled up the scroll, 209 00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:44.559 handed it back to the attendant, and sat down. All 210 00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:46.759 eyes in the synagogue looked at him intently, and then 211 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:49.200 he began to speak to them. The scripture you've just 212 00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:53.279 heard has been fulfilled this very day. Everyone spoke well 213 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:55.080 of him and was amazed by the gracious words that 214 00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:57.159 came from his lips. How can this be, they asked, 215 00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:59.919 isn't this Joseph's son? Then he said, you will un 216 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:05.320 doubtedly quote me this proverbs proverb physician, heal yourself, meaning 217 00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:07.480 do miracles here in your hometown like those you didn't 218 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:10.159 coperna him. But I tell you the truth, no prophet 219 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:13.399 is accepted in his own hometown. Certainly, there were many 220 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.120 needy widows in Israel in Elijah's time, when the heavens 221 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:17.919 were closed for three and a half years and a 222 00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:20.720 severe famine devastated the land. Yet Elijah was not sent 223 00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:23.279 to any of them. He was sent instead to a foreigner, 224 00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.759 a widow of Zaraphath in the land of Sidon. Many 225 00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:29.159 in Israel had leprosy in the time of the prophet Elisha, 226 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:32.200 but only the only one healed was name in Assyrian. 227 00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:35.159 When they heard this, the people in Syitagague were furious, 228 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:37.480 jumping up, they mobbed him and forced him to the 229 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:39.320 edge of the hill on which the town was built. 230 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.480 They tended to push him over the cliff, but he 231 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:44.120 passed right through the crowd and went on his way. 232 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.960 Yeah, fickle crowd, Yeah, no kidding. 233 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:52.200 I'm like, man, this guy's a genius. We're killing right right. 234 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:57.159 Well, they realized that he was speaking of himself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 235 00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:00.840 And by the way, there are a few I've always 236 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.879 mentioned on this podcast that a lot of times when 237 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:06.080 I read the Gospels I tie it back into my 238 00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:08.720 movie experience of the Chosen. I say movie, but the 239 00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:11.480 film experience of the Chosen. And you know, a lot 240 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:14.039 of times the Chosen they just you know, sort of 241 00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:17.759 you know, suppose things that aren't in the scriptures. Well, 242 00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:22.759 this particular instance, okay, there's a lot of detail given. 243 00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:26.039 And so what they did is they actually filmed this 244 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:31.600 entire scene. And the thing that I loved about it 245 00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.279 is a lot of times we try to imagine what 246 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.879 it must have been like. And the beginning of it 247 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.159 was really interesting because Jesus grew up in Nazareth, right, 248 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:45.720 and so the beginning was I hadn't given it this 249 00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:49.600 much brain thought at all, But at the beginning, here 250 00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:52.000 he is back at his hometown, after you know, going 251 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:54.200 in doing miracles and being famous, he's back at his hometown. 252 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.639 And right before they went, there was a bunch of 253 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.879 his childhood friends, jesus childhood friends, and they were all 254 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:04.120 standing around doing like a version of like hacky sack, 255 00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:06.159 and they were like, they were like, Jesus, join us. 256 00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:07.840 They're like, come on, can you still do it? And 257 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.399 he jumped in and they were playing, and I'm thinking, 258 00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:14.080 oh my goodness, like this is so weird. But this, 259 00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:16.440 this is probably sort of what it must have been 260 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.200 like hometown for Jesus to go back and see his 261 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:23.519 childhood friends, right, and then then he was asked to 262 00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:26.600 read the scriptures and it was a great honor, and 263 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.320 and all of a sudden, all his friends were making 264 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:30.679 a big guilvet and they're like, Jesus, can you believe 265 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.320 they asked you to read the scroll? Like that's only 266 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:36.759 usually reserved for the for this, you know, the Pharisee 267 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:39.919 or whoever you know, the whoever. 268 00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:40.720 It was, Yeah, the rabbi. 269 00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:44.519 Yeah, they're probably the rabbi. And and anyway, it was 270 00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:48.159 it was like sort of like all of this dialogue 271 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:53.519 that that you really can't see here, but that probably 272 00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:55.240 is almost exactly what it must have been. Like I 273 00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:56.480 started imagining, I'm like. 274 00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:59.399 Com back to his hometown, so very familiar. 275 00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:03.039 So it's not like, oh, here comes this famous Jesus. 276 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.720 You know, this mysterious person is who's this? Uh you know, 277 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.399 he might be from God. It wasn't that way at all. 278 00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:13.759 It was Jesus, Joseph's son. It was the guy down 279 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.679 the block who lived in the blue hut, right like him, 280 00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:19.799 And he's getting to read the scriptures. That's so cool, 281 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:23.000 you know, And it reminds me of when I got 282 00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:26.679 asked to volunteer. To not volunteer, but I was at 283 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:30.960 my home pastor asked me to preach and in my church. 284 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:33.440 I was going to Bible College, and he said, hey, 285 00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:35.720 do you want to preach on a Sunday morning? And 286 00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:39.000 it was different than guest speaking elsewhere, right right, right. 287 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:41.039 I came back and I preached in my home church, 288 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:44.879 and people saw me. You know, they saw the Hoodlam 289 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.960 at fifteen years old, right like they saw that kid, 290 00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:49.639 and all of a sudden they saw him up there 291 00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:52.559 giving a message, and they were like, whoa, this is 292 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:54.679 Chris in a different light, you know what I mean. 293 00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:59.240 Yeah, Well, so we started in verse sixteen and verse 294 00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:02.799 fourteen that Jesus returned to Galilee filled with the Holy 295 00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:08.279 Spirit's power. Right, So he came back after his baptism, 296 00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:13.200 after having been in the wilderness and temptation, all the 297 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:15.399 stuff Holy Spirit had come on, and he came back 298 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:20.080 very different. And then Jesus references in this passage, I 299 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.000 think you're only really interested in me because I've been 300 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:26.519 doing miracles in Capernaum, right, right, So Capernaum. 301 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:28.120 I was going to say, wasn't that far away. 302 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.399 So Galilee is not a very big lake, right, it's 303 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:33.600 it's it's a pretty small like we call it to 304 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:36.720 see a galilee, but it's not a sea's lakes. It's 305 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:38.240 a medium sized lake. 306 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:41.279 Well, you can see the other side clearly from one side, 307 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:43.159 right right, you can you can see it. It's not 308 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:47.000 even like Lake Sinclair, which anybody who lives in Michigan knows, 309 00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:49.279 like Sinclair, like it's hard to see the other end 310 00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:49.960 of like Sinclair. 311 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:54.600 Well, it's substantially smaller, right, substantially. So there's like these 312 00:14:54.639 --> 00:15:00.000 ten fishing villages around. And Capernaum is to the noise 313 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:05.840 east of where Nazareth was, And Nazareth wasn't right on 314 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:10.600 the shore, but was near the lake. Capernaum was pretty substantial. 315 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:13.200 There was a military outpost there, there was a lot 316 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:15.399 of trade that would have been there, all that kind 317 00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:18.200 of stuff. And so Jesus had already done some miracles 318 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:21.200 in Capernaum. Now he shows back up in Nazareth. And 319 00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:25.240 Nazareth was a pretty small village, a few hundred people, 320 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:30.120 a little kind of a backwater kind of a little village. 321 00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:35.759 And you know, Joseph. His stepdad was a carpenter there, 322 00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:39.200 maybe like a furniture maker or something, a cabinet maker, 323 00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:43.039 a carpenter. That they so they were they were well 324 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:46.639 established in the in the village, right, they were important. 325 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:51.360 They their family contributed to the well being of the community. 326 00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:53.440 And he was just one of the boys that that's 327 00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:54.919 how they do. But then he goes away and he 328 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:56.679 comes back with this power of the Holy Spirit and 329 00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:01.320 he's doing miracles. They're like wow. And then the synagogues 330 00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:05.080 just so you know, synagogue became kind of the center 331 00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:09.960 of worship for Jewish communities when they didn't have access 332 00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:13.480 to the temple. So if there were it was a 333 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:16.960 ten if there were ten Jewish men in a community, 334 00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.480 they could form a synagogue and one man would then 335 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:22.159 become the leader of the synagogue, and they could they 336 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:24.360 would do they would do worship there. 337 00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:26.840 Ten Jewish men conform a synagogue, yeah. 338 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:31.840 Huh, And so they could do they would do religious 339 00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:35.080 ceremonies there. They would have a special school to teach 340 00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:38.840 the children, you know, about the Law of Moses, all 341 00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:42.519 these kinds of things. And then when traveling rabbis would 342 00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:44.639 come through, then they could read from the scrolls they 343 00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:47.159 could teach, and so it's amazing. Jesus opens up the 344 00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:50.720 Book of Isaiah and says, hey, just so you know, 345 00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:52.840 when it says the spirit of the Lord is upon me, 346 00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:55.200 remember verse fourteen had just said the holy Spirit of 347 00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:59.000 commani right. And then in verse eighteen he says the 348 00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:01.840 spirit he's quoting from Isaiah spirit, the Lord is upon 349 00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:03.879 me freeze annoying me to bring good news to the poor. 350 00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:06.920 That's great. He sent me to proclaim that captors will 351 00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:09.720 be released. That's fantastic, that the blind will be set 352 00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:12.119 that the blind will see, and the oppressive be set free. 353 00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:14.920 The time the Lord's favor has come, everybody's say, that's great. 354 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:18.240 We like your teaching. Jesus, Wow, you are so smart. 355 00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:22.160 And then he goes, yeah, I think you only like 356 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:24.079 it because you're hoping I'm going to do miracles here. 357 00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:27.160 But prophets don't really get much honor in their own town. 358 00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:30.279 You want me to do tricks. You're not wanting me 359 00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:33.839 to change your life. And so he said, not everybody 360 00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:36.359 got it. And then he mentions that this widow of 361 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:39.079 Zia Fath and naming the SyRI and they weren't even 362 00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:42.920 Jewish and they got blessings when nobody else did. And 363 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:46.240 this now, all of a sudden, what they're picking up 364 00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:49.839 on as Jesus is giving that reference is going, wait 365 00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:53.960 a minute, you're saying that God is going to use 366 00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:57.960 you to reach gentiles. We're Jews. We don't like gentiles, right, 367 00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:01.519 And that was kind of the the thing that really 368 00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:05.799 ticked them off. And they knew his background, they knew 369 00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:10.440 his lifestyle, they knew all these things about him, and 370 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:13.440 then they're like, why are you lecturing us? And a 371 00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:16.559 lot of times people have a hard time hearing from 372 00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:21.400 somebody they know well, right, we want experts, we want gurus. 373 00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:23.160 We just don't want to listen to somebody we know well. 374 00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:27.039 But Jesus is shooting pretty straight here. He said this gospel, 375 00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:28.279 this good news is for everybody. 376 00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:31.640 I looked up real quick while you were talking. The 377 00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:35.599 Sea of Galilee is only eight miles wide and thirteen 378 00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:39.359 miles long. Oh that's right, but surprisingly deep. Ready for this? 379 00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:40.559 How deep you think it is? 380 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:42.440 Three hundred feet? 381 00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:45.279 Oh well, no, it's one hundred and forty one. People. 382 00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:49.119 It's like your uncle saying, guess how much a hot 383 00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:51.079 dog was at the airport. The way to shut them 384 00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:53.799 down is be like twenty dollars. Come on, man, it's 385 00:18:53.839 --> 00:19:00.400 four bucks anyway. But anyway, just in comparison, LA saying Claire, 386 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:03.839 which is in Michigan, is twenty five or twenty four 387 00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:07.319 and a half miles wide? Yeah, yea yeah, yeah, so 388 00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:09.240 very double right, almost. 389 00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:10.960 Double three times. If it's eight miles wide. 390 00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:12.640 No, twenty four, it's thirteen miles. 391 00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:14.599 Oh, thirteen miles long? Yeah yeah, yeah, Oh I thought 392 00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:15.319 you said it's twenty. 393 00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:17.240 Four whatever wide and long. 394 00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:18.559 I don't know, okay, okay. 395 00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:22.079 Thirteen miles is the Sea of Galilee from It's probably long. 396 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:24.039 Right top to bottom. Yeah, and eight miles wide. 397 00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:26.079 Oh yeah, yeah, you're right, this does say wide. There 398 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:26.720 is a difference. 399 00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:27.880 Yeah yeah, this. 400 00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:34.759 Is twenty four miles long and twenty one miles wide.
