WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.560 Well, Jeff, today, this is the chapter that gives us 2 00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:05.360 all hope for these earthly bodies wasting away. 3 00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:08.080 One day they'll be better than they are right now. 4 00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:09.759 I hope I get a body like Superman. 5 00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:11.080 Oh, that'd be great. 6 00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:14.080 All right, we'll find out. So I'm Jeff and he's Chris, 7 00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:28.719 and we're the Bible guys. Okay, Chris, Yes, So it's 8 00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:30.440 going to be this or that. 9 00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:31.160 That's the segment. 10 00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:33.200 Yes, So I'm going to give you a choice between 11 00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:34.280 one thing or another thing. 12 00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:36.039 And I haven't read these yet, and you have. 13 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.359 To decide which is the best. Yes, go ahead, Okay, 14 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:41.679 Marvel or DC. 15 00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:45.840 This could also be a segment of what made Chris mad. 16 00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:50.679 So it is Marvel, because almost everything about DC. 17 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:51.759 Makes Chris madly. 18 00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:59.719 Oh, DC's horrific outside of well, okay, there are exceptions. 19 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:04.319 I'm just so disappointed in the majority of DC because 20 00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:07.640 if you think about it, DC has like the best heroes. 21 00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:09.840 They do, they do, they have the best heroes. It 22 00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:12.400 was the Justice League growing up, right, I know. And 23 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:14.959 somehow they just can't seem to quite get it right. Right, 24 00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.640 So so I think it isn't that they're just I 25 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:20.120 guess horrific is a strong word. 26 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.319 I'm just so angry at the. 27 00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:25.599 Fact that like you have this, you have this most 28 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.920 potential handed to you, and it's like, man, you have 29 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:29.920 the opportunity to make. 30 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:32.879 Something fantastic, that's right, and they just can't get it right. 31 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.120 Outside of Wonder Woman Part one, which was like a 32 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.920 ten out of ten, right, And I would say that 33 00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.719 the Christian Bale Batman's Yeah, Michael Keaton was good. In 34 00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:44.879 the nineteen eighty nine version, it was good. 35 00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.159 But those are more cartoon versions. Batman. Yeah, you know, 36 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:50.000 you know, the Dark Knight thing was Yeah. 37 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:50.799 The Dark Knight was really good. 38 00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:51.079 Yeah. 39 00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:51.359 Yeah. 40 00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.599 And then and I would say Man of Steel was 41 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.120 really good part one, and then I would say after that, 42 00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:59.159 I'm trying to think of another one that's good. 43 00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:00.879 Wow, you take in the serious dude. 44 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:04.719 Yeah, well Shazam uh is a is a that's a 45 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:05.239 DC thing. 46 00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.560 So you emphatically said Marvel. But now we've spent two 47 00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:12.439 minutes talking about DC. Well, how good these DC things are? 48 00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:14.400 Yeah, well, Marvel's fantastic. 49 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:16.280 Yeah. The Bible says that a double minded man is 50 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:17.719 unstable in all of his ways. 51 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:19.560 It does say that it does and by the way. 52 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.520 That has nothing to do at all with my response. 53 00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:26.520 I'm just saying, but Marvel, Marvel is incredible, Marvel amazing. 54 00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:29.680 Okay, here's the next one. Read a book series or 55 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.280 watch a movie marathon. That's a no brainer. I know 56 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:33.000 that one. For you. 57 00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:36.439 Yeah, it's gonna be always a movie marathon for me. Yeah, 58 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.199 although for you, I'm sure it's a book serious. 59 00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:42.639 Did you you accidentally read a book once? Didn't you? 60 00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:47.080 I read? I read the Bible today, words on a page. 61 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:50.000 Go camping or stay at a luxury resort, Oh. 62 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:54.439 No question, no question for me. I'm a luxury resort 63 00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:55.560 guy all the way. 64 00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:57.759 Let's listen. It could be it could it could be 65 00:02:58.199 --> 00:02:59.360 go camping. 66 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:01.800 Or sleep in the backseat of your car, and I 67 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:03.240 would choose the car. 68 00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:04.280 Yeah, no, camping. 69 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:05.960 Camping is just not my thing. 70 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.479 Okay. Be spontaneous or plan out everything ahead of time? 71 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:14.800 Honestly, I guess it depends on the responsibility factor. But 72 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:19.240 as long as there's no consequences of responsibility, always spontaneous, 73 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.800 spontaneous so we are on vacation, nothing mattered. And you 74 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:24.520 were to ask me both of those things. Even though 75 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.840 I do plan, if somebody else planned for me, you know, 76 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:29.840 and just said, like, today's a free day, and you. 77 00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.080 Could do one of these ten things. I would much 78 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:32.719 prefer that. 79 00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:38.080 Yeah. Would you rather here? This is a really important one. 80 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.960 Would you rather talk like Yoda or breathe like Darth 81 00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:42.319 Vader for the rest of your life? 82 00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:48.800 Talk like Yoda? I would, because breathing is a constant. 83 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:49.879 Yeah. 84 00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.800 Actually that's a horrible choice. Yeah, yeah, I know that's 85 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:53.719 a horrible Would. 86 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:58.639 You rather well this or that? Oh, Jeff, yes, yeah, 87 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.919 I think maybe Yoda Yoda? 88 00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:05.000 Yeah, I know both are awful. 89 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:09.360 You're a public speaker. Oh that's true. It would probably 90 00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:10.199 change your career. 91 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:11.800 Yeah you think. 92 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.800 Yeah. Okay, So I'm going to run through Marvel for 93 00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:17.079 me over DC. 94 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.120 Read a book over by the way, Do you feel 95 00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.079 just a strong Marvel and DC that I do? 96 00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:22.600 No? 97 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:23.480 Oh? 98 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:23.720 Really? 99 00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:24.720 You like you like d C. 100 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:28.240 No, I'm just not as big of a movie guy. 101 00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.360 So whatever movie's planes the movie I'm watching. 102 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:31.480 Okay, okay, okay. 103 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.279 And I said, okay, but I like the Marvel. I 104 00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.240 thought that the Marvel universe, they did a good job 105 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:40.399 developing that whole storyline, so that was good. Usually read 106 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:43.160 a book series, over watch a movie marathon. But I 107 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.680 watch a lot of shows, so I don't know that 108 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.199 that's that might be. My preference would be read a 109 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:54.240 great book series, go camping by far Ye yeah, yeah, 110 00:04:54.319 --> 00:05:00.240 that's so. It's funny. So if we're staying home, like 111 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.439 we're not leaving town right, being spontaneous as high like 112 00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:05.759 me like to live my life. If we're going to 113 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.199 a new city, I want to have a big picture 114 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:11.759 plan for each day, like even for each half of 115 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:13.920 the day. So Okay, in the morning, we're going to 116 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:15.560 go to the Louver and in the evening we're going 117 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.199 to go to the Eiffel Tower and eat dinner, you 118 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.040 know that kind of thing. I like to have a 119 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:24.040 plan of some sort, but I don't plan, you know, 120 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.000 down to the hour or those kinds of things. I 121 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:28.360 just like to know what I'm supposed to do that day. 122 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:33.519 And then for me, Darth Vader over Yoda, I think, yeah, yeah, I. 123 00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:36.240 Thought more about that. It's really tough, but at least 124 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:40.279 Darth Vader people be like, dude, he is awesome, you 125 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:42.279 know what I mean, So that that probably would be. 126 00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.360 You know, it's so funny because you and I are very, 127 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.279 very very alike. We are we are like in so 128 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:53.839 many ways, and yet we were almost polar opposites on. 129 00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:54.199 On three of the five. 130 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:58.199 Three of the five. Yeah, like you are by far 131 00:05:58.319 --> 00:05:58.879 camping guy. 132 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.680 I'm not. You're a book guy. I'm more of a 133 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:03.160 movie guy. That's really funny. 134 00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:08.160 Yep, so well, in my mind a vacation. The reason 135 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:09.839 why I like camping is you get away from it 136 00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:12.160 all right, and from everybody. It turns out my phone 137 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.000 doesn't work out in the woods, you know. I love that. 138 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.199 I love to just be completely disconnected. And then I 139 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.480 love nature anyways. I like sleeping outside, I like all 140 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:22.639 that kind of I think one. 141 00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:25.040 Of the funniest things you've ever said that as far 142 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.079 as I'm concerned. As in our previous podcast, when you said, 143 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.040 how would you like the story of your life, the 144 00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:32.720 movie of your life to end, and you said, would you. 145 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:34.240 Say get lost, get lost in the jungle? 146 00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.439 You said, disappear into the jungle. That's how you want 147 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:39.879 your movie to end, which means. 148 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:40.319 Your life to end. 149 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:41.879 Everybody just wondering what happened. 150 00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:45.199 I was just thinking to myself, like, I cannot imagine 151 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:50.439 an ending. It's so polar opposite of anything that I 152 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:52.120 would want for my life. 153 00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:54.079 That's just so funny, dude. 154 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.839 So he was looking for the Holy Grail and just 155 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:03.240 disappeared into the jungle. Last adventure. Yeah. So hey, before 156 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:07.040 we get into the Bible discussion today, subscribe on the 157 00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.560 Bible Guys dot com. Our website is the Bible Guys 158 00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:11.720 dot com. You go on there, you can subscribe, send 159 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.079 you messages and links and all those kinds of things. 160 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.439 So make sure you do that and that'll help our 161 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:21.120 algorithms a little bit and it'll keep you in connection 162 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:22.519 with what's happening with the Bible. 163 00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:22.959 Guys for sure. 164 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.920 So we are continuing on two Corinthia's chapter five, and 165 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.480 we're going to read verses one through ten. So this 166 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:32.759 is kind of a short passage today. That's why we 167 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:36.000 took a little bit extra time finding out where Chris's 168 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:41.120 preferences lie. But and Jeff's and mine. That's right, So 169 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.360 here we go. For we know that when this earthly 170 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:46.800 tent we live in is taken down, that is, when 171 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.319 we die and leave this earthly body, we will have 172 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.040 a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us 173 00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:55.120 by God himself and not by human hands. We grow 174 00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:57.120 weary in our present bodies and we long to put 175 00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.680 on our heavenly bodies like new clothing. For we will 176 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.040 put on heavenly bodies. We will not be spirits without bodies. 177 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:06.199 While we live in these earthly bodies, we grown and sigh. 178 00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:08.199 But it's not that we want to die and get 179 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.680 rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want 180 00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:12.920 to put on our new bodies so that these dying 181 00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:16.319 bodies will be swallowed up by life. God himself has 182 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:18.680 prepared us for this, and as a guarantee, he has 183 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:21.879 given us his Holy Spirit. So we are always confident, 184 00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:23.480 even though we know that as long as we live 185 00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:25.199 in these bodies, we are not at home with the Lord, 186 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:28.399 for we live by believing and not by seeing. Yes, 187 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.079 we are fully confident, and we would rather be away 188 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.360 from these earthly bodies, for then we'll be at home 189 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.720 with the Lord. So whether we are here in this 190 00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:37.759 body or away from this body, our goal is to 191 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:40.879 please Him, for we must all stand before Christ to 192 00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:43.879 be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for 193 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.360 the good or evil we've done in this earthly body. 194 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:49.639 There it is, there, you go. I love his tent illustration. 195 00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:52.480 Yeah, and Paul again, the King of visual aids. 196 00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:52.960 Ye, yep. 197 00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:56.039 So every chapter so far that we've spent this entire 198 00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:00.000 week has been a comparison to a visual aid. Yeah. 199 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:02.879 And so in this case, he's using a temporary tent. 200 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.000 And you know, for us, we just talked about camping, 201 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.000 and most of our association with tents is just for 202 00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:13.720 you know, recreation, But for them it was very much 203 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:17.279 a you know, integral part of life because not everybody 204 00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:20.159 had a permanent structure, and there were people who actually 205 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:23.879 would you know, pitch tents, like for instance, shepherds who 206 00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:26.240 sometimes would go on a year journey and they would 207 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.840 have to carry their tents with them or really have 208 00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:31.440 a person carry them for them, and then they would 209 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.440 pitch a tent and then they would you know, stay 210 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.320 there temporarily and then wrap it up and then move 211 00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.000 on to the next place. And of course, you know, 212 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:43.120 tents also have to get replaced because they you know, 213 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:45.799 are subject to the weather versus a permanent. 214 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:46.120 Structure, right. 215 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.960 And so this is just a fantastic illustration because once 216 00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:55.960 again Paul is talking about these temporary, wasting away bodies 217 00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:00.720 that get worn out, right, versus a permanent structure that 218 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:04.600 is fixed, that is, you know, impenetrable in some cases, 219 00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:07.840 especially back then, and so it's just a great picture. 220 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:12.039 Have you ever been in any of the desert tent 221 00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:15.759 like the Bedouins or the people. Have you ever been 222 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:17.120 in any of their tents before? 223 00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:21.960 The only tents that I've been in are like in Egypt, 224 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.399 you know, when we went in to go eat, you know, 225 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:28.480 their whole structure was like a big, huge tent. In Israel, 226 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:30.480 it was like a restaurant that was in a tent, 227 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.600 and it was a very large tent, but it was 228 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:37.480 so thick it almost seemed, you know, like it was 229 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.240 pretty impressive, you know what I mean. 230 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:44.039 We were in a tent outside of Abu Dhabi in 231 00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:48.240 the Arabian Peninsula, and we had gone way way, way, 232 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:51.360 way way out into the desert and we were doing, 233 00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:53.960 you know, dune bashing and four wheelers and stuff like that. 234 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:59.080 And we come into these guys home and I was talking. 235 00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:01.759 They had their hunting and they had their falcons and they, 236 00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:05.080 I mean, they were genuine Bedouin people and they would 237 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.480 move their camp every once in a while based on 238 00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:10.399 food and we're availability to water and those kinds of things. 239 00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:11.840 And I was talking to this guy because I mean, 240 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:14.799 we were three hours away from the city in the 241 00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:18.279 middle of just desert, and I asked him about it 242 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.639 and he said, I said, have you been in the 243 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:22.720 big cities, the air conditioning, all that kind of stuff 244 00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:25.399 at higher right, And he said, oh yeah. He said 245 00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:27.879 I could never live in a city, and I was 246 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:29.679 like why, and he reached out and just you know, 247 00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:33.080 the tent just like carpets, right, they're so thick, heavy. 248 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:36.159 He says, this is home. He said, I'm free here, 249 00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:38.720 this is home. I'm comfortable. And you know, for a 250 00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:41.000 lot of us, I think and for me, I can't imagine. 251 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:44.320 There's sand blowing everywhere, and it's hotter than you know 252 00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:46.600 all get out out there and all these things. But 253 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:49.240 for him, that was home, and so he had this comfortability. 254 00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:51.879 He couldn't imagine moving somewhere else where it could be 255 00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:54.600 more comfortable because this was home. And then he would 256 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:57.159 talk about how soft the city people are versus how 257 00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:00.600 strong the people who live outside the city. 258 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:02.080 Which I have no doubt, Yeah, yeah, that's right. 259 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:03.759 And so he wanted to be a strong free man 260 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.200 instead of a soft city man. That was kind of 261 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:08.399 his perspective. And then he took me back and we 262 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:10.320 got to see his hunting dogs and he showed me 263 00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:12.360 how his falcon hunts, and it was just it was 264 00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:15.799 really fabulous how he's living this traditional life still. And 265 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:17.759 then we sat down, we had dinner. It's really incredible. 266 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.000 But when I read this passage, isn't it funny? We 267 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:25.279 try so hard to hang on to this body and 268 00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:27.200 to this life, because it turns out this is the 269 00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:30.480 tent we're comfortable in right, right, And Paul is trying 270 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.200 to differentiate between this tent that's going to wear out 271 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:38.559 versus these eternal homes that are going to be so glorious, right, 272 00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:42.039 And he's trying to send a message in the previous chapter, right, 273 00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:44.039 we're not looking at things that are here, because these 274 00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:46.159 are soon going to be gone. We're looking into eternity. 275 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:47.960 And he said, it's even the same thing with our bodies. 276 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:51.000 This body is eventually going to run out of gas, 277 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:53.320 it's eventually going to wear out, but we're going to 278 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:55.639 step into these new eternal bodies. He's trying to challenge 279 00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:57.759 us with this idea. It's going to be so much 280 00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:00.200 better on the other side, So it doesn't matter what 281 00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.240 struggle we go go through. Now, for Christ's Kingdom. We're 282 00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.919 going to live for eternity in glorious benefit on the 283 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.440 other side of this life. So only the only thing 284 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:14.879 we should be doing is using this life for moving 285 00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:16.000 the king of got forward. 286 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:16.360 Yeah. 287 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:18.799 Here, and that's the challenge there is, man, if you 288 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:21.279 could just imagine how great it's going to be. We 289 00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:22.879 don't live by sight, we live by faith. 290 00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:23.720 Yeah. 291 00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:26.639 And it's also important to recognize that Paul was writing 292 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:29.360 to a group of people who were indoctrinated. The Greeks 293 00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:32.039 didn't believe in resurrected bodies. 294 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:33.360 That's right, they didn't believe in that. 295 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:37.720 They believe that actually that the soul was being sort 296 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:40.399 of trapped and then when the bodies died, so it 297 00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:42.879 was just let free and that was the end of it. 298 00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:46.279 But Paul was actually explaining something by the way that 299 00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:49.600 was beyond his knowledge. So he's writing about something that 300 00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:52.399 is to come that you know, it was not taught 301 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:53.679 by Jesus that we know of. 302 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:55.559 It was not talked about. 303 00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:59.080 It was being revealed to God, or excuse me, to 304 00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:04.039 Paul by God. This illumination of him just sort of 305 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:06.279 letting us know that, hey, here's what's going to happen 306 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:10.120 in the future, we're gonna have resurrected bodies or permanent bodies, 307 00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:11.759 you know, when we get to heaven. 308 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:16.159 So that illustration, that idea of oh, I would rather 309 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.000 live in this tent because it's what I'm comfortable with. 310 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.159 I think we get the same way that we start 311 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:23.639 to think that this planet, this world is home and 312 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.519 it is the point without an idea of the resurrection 313 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:28.679 in the future. And I have a sense it's kind 314 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:31.720 of like there was a little while my wife's grandmother 315 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.759 gave Bonnie and I Toyota Turceell and it was like 316 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.600 nineteen ninety five Toyota Tursseell. Basically it was a go 317 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.080 kart on you know, with windows. That that's what was. 318 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:48.200 It was something else, and I can only imagine, no, no, no, 319 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:49.399 this is the car I want to drive for the 320 00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:51.200 rest of my life because it's the one I'm comfortable 321 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:54.480 with when there's a brand new Mercedes available to us. 322 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:56.879 And that's kind of the differentiation he's trying to say, 323 00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:00.279 is it's so glorious when you finally sit in a 324 00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:03.279 nice soft Corinthian leather in the front seat, you got 325 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:07.399 nice burled wood, all these things. That is so spectacular. 326 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:09.360 But because we can't envision it and we're comfortable with 327 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:12.600 what we currently have. We're afraid of what's coming in 328 00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:13.000 the future. 329 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:15.480 That reminds me. Did you know this. 330 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:17.159 I'm not sure if I ever told you this, but 331 00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:22.399 my very first car was a nineteen seventy seven black Vet. 332 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:23.240 Oh nice. 333 00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:27.080 It had red interior, red pin stripe and it was 334 00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:28.159 actually my first car was. 335 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:28.960 A black bet Did you know. 336 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:33.120 No, I didn't know that. It was a Chavette oh Chevette, 337 00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:35.320 but it had leather interia. 338 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:35.720 It did. 339 00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:39.840 It was all ripped up with the floorward missing and 340 00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:42.000 it had It was just a terrible Chavette. 341 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.919 But anyway, that's where it rough me up. So it's 342 00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:46.080 a VET versus a VET, right. 343 00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.159 I have a sense that we're riding around with these 344 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:51.519 vehicles because you are not your body. Yeah, right now, 345 00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:52.960 we should take care of our bodies and all that, 346 00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:56.000 but you are not your body, and so you were 347 00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.759 riding around in this vehicle, right And that's what he's 348 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:00.840 trying to say, is you're you're you're living in this 349 00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:03.279 temporary tent. You and I are riding. We would say, 350 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.440 we're riding around in this vehicle and right now we 351 00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:09.000 are in chavettes. Actually, I think I said a while back, 352 00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:11.320 I feel like I'm in a duck boat. You ever see, 353 00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:13.360 like like the dug boat tours and the big cities 354 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:16.039 and stuff. It's a it's a boat with wheels essentially 355 00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:17.360 that you can drive on the street and then it 356 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:19.759 goes down the water and stuff. And it doesn't look 357 00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:21.919 like it doesn't look right on the street, and it 358 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:23.120 doesn't look right in the water. 359 00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:24.200 Right. 360 00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:28.159 But he's saying, man alive, if you could just understand 361 00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:31.159 the ferrari that's coming for you. Yeah, right on the 362 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:31.799 other side of. 363 00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:32.440 It, you know. 364 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:35.679 Later on in the Book of Hebrews, I think it's nine, 365 00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:39.360 but it talks about how Jesus was the one who 366 00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:43.039 had a more perfect tent, right, and that and that 367 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:45.679 he he gave his life for us and and and 368 00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:47.559 and then one day we'll be like him, which is 369 00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:50.360 now the glorious body. And and it's just it's just 370 00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:53.039 a theme that is beautifully woven throughout the Bible. 371 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:54.720 And uh, and again it. 372 00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:58.720 Just gives us just a little bit more of a hope. Yeah, 373 00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:02.919 it reminds me of that's song, Baby Shark, Baby Shark, 374 00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:06.079 And then and then and then and. 375 00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:08.400 Now you put that ear whorm and everybody's head they're 376 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:08.799 gonna be long. 377 00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:10.440 And then it says shark attack. 378 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:12.720 I'm not sure if this is how the song goes, 379 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:14.279 but do you say it like this where it says 380 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:19.079 lost a leg, dun d lost a leg. I don't 381 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:20.880 know if we made it up or whatever. And then 382 00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:24.480 we say, uh, go to heaven. Uh. And then we 383 00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:27.119 say because you know, the almost drownd and then uh, 384 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:29.920 CPR didn't work, and then and then and then we 385 00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:32.160 say go to heaven and then we say. 386 00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:35.519 Get leg back, that get laid back. So it's just 387 00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:37.240 it's the idea that like when we get to heaven 388 00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:38.319 we get the leg back. You know. 389 00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:41.640 So my friend Kevin Valentine, who has a prosthetic limb, 390 00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:43.640 there you go, he says, I can't wait to get 391 00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:45.319 to heaven and get my leg back. 392 00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:49.160 So then Paul goes on and he reminds us that 393 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:52.400 we're not going to be ghosts, right, We're actually gonna 394 00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:56.839 have physical, perfect physical bodies. We're not ghosts. I think 395 00:17:56.839 --> 00:17:59.359 that it's important for Christians. Sometimes we get caught up 396 00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:02.519 watching you know, TV and whatever, we start believing in 397 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:06.200 ghosts and all these kinds of things. So he says, 398 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:08.400 here to be absent from the bodies, present with the Lord. 399 00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:12.799 That's what he says. Right, So, yeah, he said this 400 00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:15.319 idea of of us being ghosts, We're not just going 401 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:18.039
