Example, and she 57 00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:27.280 she gives us an example in a world where laundry 58 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.560 never ends, one woman finds a sock that matches. 59 00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:32.719 Dude can relate to that? 60 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:34.639 Yeah, yeah, And I can't do that voice, but you 61 00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:35.520 know that famous. 62 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.240 World because in a world, in a world. 63 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:42.560 Right, so so can I can?

What is this? 64 00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:42.879 What is? 65 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:43.400 What has happened? 66 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:43.800 Happened? 67 00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:44.360 What just happened? 68 00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:45.080 Okay, there you are. 69 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:47.199 So here's what I did. Guys, I'm cheating a little 70 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.759 bit because what I did was I went to chat 71 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.120 GPT and asked it to write in a trailer from 72 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.120 something I was thankful for. So let me explain to 73 00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.199 you what I'm thankful for. First, I am thankful. My 74 00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.400 way is gonna kill me when I say this. I 75 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:04.199 am thankful that my wife, without me asking made pasta 76 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.400 Oh nice, Because I've been married for thirty three years 77 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.800 and I grew up. You know, obviously, my family's Italian, 78 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:13.599 my half of my family's Italian and my mom's half, 79 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:15.879 and she was an Italian cook, that was her profession, 80 00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:19.120 and so we always had Italian food, always, always, always, always, always. 81 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:21.159 There was never a day we didn't have something with 82 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.919 noodles and sauce in the fridge. Not a day because 83 00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:27.680 what always had leftovers. And so all that to say, 84 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.039 then all of a sudden, I marry Liz, who doesn't 85 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.800 necessarily care for pasta, and so I just sort of 86 00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:35.960 got used to not having it. And so I would say, 87 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:40.800 very very very I'm gonna give three varies, very very 88 00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.000 very rarely do we ever have pasta in the house, 89 00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.639 not because she's unwilling, probably just because I don't make 90 00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:49.280 a big deal about it. And we do go out 91 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.199 to eat a lot, and I order pasta often. So 92 00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.400 I'm thinking to myself, hey, man, it's okay. I don't 93 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:56.400 want to make her make pasta if she doesn't necessarily 94 00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:59.400 love it, right, so it's not a big deal. But 95 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.680 the other day she made it for me just out 96 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:06.280 of the blue, Wow, and I was thrilled. So I 97 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:07.560 actually I'm gonna. 98 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:08.159 Put together the trailer. 99 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.800 Yeah, I'm gonna here, so here it is ready. I'm 100 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.120 gonna try to read this dramatically. This is what chat 101 00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:18.639 Chipet said. In a world where pasta was only a dream, 102 00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:22.040 one man waited thirty three years. 103 00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:23.079 Three years. 104 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:28.560 He sat through meatloaf, He endured chicken, He even survived 105 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:34.120 tuna casserole, but still no pasta. Until one day, when 106 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:38.839 Hope had almost boiled away. She made it not because 107 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:43.639 he baked, not because he pleaded, but because she chose 108 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:50.399 this fall. Love is aldente.

Well, hey, what a fun segments, Kyle, And 193 00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:08.240 thanks Desiree for that innovative praise report with a twist. 194 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.199 Good and Brownie points for our wife. 195 00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:10.720 So that's good. 196 00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:15.519 And you know what else is something that has a twist. 197 00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:19.319 What has a twist is that Jesus talked about the 198 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:23.040 dogs eating crumbs, and that was sort of out of nowhere. 199 00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:26.079 That is a twist. It was a twist of this conversation. 200 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.399 It's a twist. Let's twist it to the scripture. 201 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:30.399 All right, hey, twist away, Kyle, all. 202 00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.840 Right, Matthew. Fifteen Jesus sends a demon out of a girl. 203 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.200 So chapter fifteen, verse twenty one through twenty eight it 204 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:40.360 says this. Then Jesus left Galilee and went north to 205 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.639 the region of tyr and Sedan. A gentile woman who 206 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.840 lived there came to him, pleading have mercy on me, o, 207 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.039 Lord son of David, for my daughter is possessed by 208 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.440 a demon that torments her severely. But Jesus I gave 209 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:57.759 her no reply, not even a word. Then his disciples 210 00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:01.080 urged him to send her away, to go away. They said, 211 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:04.240 she is bothering us with all her begging. That Jesus 212 00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:06.279 said to the woman, I was sent only to help 213 00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:09.440 God's lost sheep, the people of Israel. But she came 214 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.320 and worshiped him, pleading again Lord to help me. Jesus responded, 215 00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:15.639 it isn't right to take food from the children and 216 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.559 throw it to the dogs. She replied, that's true, Lord, 217 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:20.799 but even dogs are allowed to eat the scraps that 218 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.600 fall beneath their master's table. Dear woman, Jesus said to her, 219 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.159 your faith is great, your request is granted, and her 220 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:33.720 daughter was instantly healed. So yeah, seven verses. 221 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:38.399 Yeah, and and and so keep in mind that this 222 00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:42.120 was a gentile woman. Right. So it went to the 223 00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:45.840 region of tyr Inside and a gentile woman who lived 224 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:49.200 there came there pleading, and Jesus is basically saying, I 225 00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:52.559 was only come to help God's lost sheep, the people 226 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.080 of Israel. He was sent to the Jews as a 227 00:09:56.799 --> 00:09:59.399 you know, the promise was given to the to God's people, 228 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:05.600 the sacrifice of Jesus a salvation. Jesus announced after his 229 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:10.399 crucifixion that salvation was for everybody. Right. But there is 230 00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:14.559 something to be said here about the fact that, you know, 231 00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:18.799 there's such an unbelievable division between you know, we don't 232 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:23.120 often think about it because we live post you know, 233 00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:26.879 a New Testament. Right, so we say, oh, Jewish people, 234 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:29.600 and then non Jewish or gentiles. And you know, we 235 00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:32.279 know Romans, and Romans says there's no difference between you 236 00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:35.080 or Greek or gentile or anybody else, right or Greek 237 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:38.000 or Jew, you know whatever. And so it actually says 238 00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:42.720 right here as it talks about I just saw this 239 00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:47.600 note here vers Number twenty four. Right here, we have 240 00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:50.759 to admire the patience and the persistence of this gentile mother. 241 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.399 Lord help me was her second plea, and this time 242 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:58.039 she avoided any Messianic titles. She came as a sinner 243 00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:00.600 needing help, and she offered no argument to his reply. 244 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:02.919 Jesus did not call her a dog, by the way 245 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:06.200 the Pharisees would have addressed a gentile. The Greek word 246 00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:10.240 here means a little pet dog and does not refer 247 00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:13.840 to the filthy curs that ran into the streets up 248 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:17.240 for garbage. The children, of course, refers to the people 249 00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:22.360 of Israel. So, you know, it's so interesting how Jesus 250 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.080 had come to fulfill the scriptures, and in the Old Testament, 251 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:30.240 the Jewish people were the ones who revered the God 252 00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:32.600 of Israel, and so like, you know, think about, like 253 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:36.080 remember when we were going through that series, all the 254 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:39.399 way through the Old Testament. And you remember how it 255 00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:41.840 was such a struggle for the people of Israel to believe. 256 00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:46.000 And you know, here's God wanting, i mean just almost 257 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:50.679 begging through his prophets. He's begging them to, you know, 258 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:53.799 just worship him and he'll make them a great nation. 259 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.960 And because they struggled so much, again and again and 260 00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:00.480 again they struggled, and then eventually they were divided for years, 261 00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:02.799 years and years and years and years. They were divided 262 00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:06.879 centuries because they could simply not obey God and have 263 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:10.879 their faith, you know, just align with the things that 264 00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:13.759 God said. So but for a while there in the 265 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:17.799 Old Testament, remember King David, he would actually go and 266 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:21.200 he would destroy other pagan nations. These were nations that 267 00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:26.679 defied the God of Israel. They worshiped other gods. Even 268 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:28.759 though that they were told about the God of Israel, 269 00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:30.840 they were told about the one and true, one true King, 270 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.639 they refused. And so eventually the enemies of Israel were 271 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:39.480 wiped out. And that was sort of God's quest, which 272 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:42.159 is pretty wild, right think about that. But it was 273 00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:46.720 always the Jewish people against those who did not recognize 274 00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:50.600 the One true God. And so and so Jesus comes 275 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.559 as a fulfillment of what some people say three hundred 276 00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.600 and fifty plus some people say over four hundred prophecies, 277 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:03.399 and those were prophecies given about a Jewish man to 278 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:06.879 the Jewish people, and so and so and so. I 279 00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:08.600 have a tendency when I read this to think, Wait 280 00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:12.720 a minute, why wouldn't Jesus show his love to anybody 281 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:15.600 who wasn't Jewish? And why in the world would he 282 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:19.440 ignore a woman who had a legitimate request just because 283 00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:22.679 she's a gentile. Have you ever thought that, no, I'm 284 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:23.279 you're someone? 285 00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:24.759 When he right away, when he says he doesn't give 286 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:26.679 her a word, doesn't give a reply, Well, yeah. 287 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.679 Doesn't it. See here's what I'm saying. I still allowed 288 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:30.799 to say this. Doesn't it seem like he's ignoring her 289 00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:32.679 just because she's not a gentile or just because she's 290 00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:33.080 not a Jew. 291 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:35.200 When I read it, my interpretation was I think I 292 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:37.960 thought he wanted to see what the disciples would do 293 00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:40.919 when he ignored her, like he wasn't quick to respond. 294 00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:44.960 But he says her legitimately, I was sent only to 295 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:47.879 help God's lost sheep, the people of Israel. You know 296 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:51.000 I'm not I'm not acknowledging your request, I'm ignoring you. 297 00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:53.039 Here's the reason why he says it. 298 00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:57.480 Yeah, I was only to help God's people visually young. Yeah, 299 00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:59.120 I guess. And for me, again, I was wondering if 300 00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:00.240 it had to do with the fact that he was 301 00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.399 waiting to see because his disciples were the quickest to 302 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:05.320 almost say like, hey, get out of the way, we 303 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:07.919 have work to do, which is also just kind of funny. 304 00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:11.799 Yeah, but not only does he announce his intent right there, 305 00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:14.519 but then he goes even further and said it isn't right. 306 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:16.879 It isn't right to take food from the children and 307 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:18.960 talking about Israel and throw them to the dogs, and 308 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.519 he's talking about the gentiles. So Jesus is clearly not 309 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:25.879 And by the way, I think you're right in that 310 00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:30.080 Jesus always intentionally waits for his disciples to react, so 311 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:32.000 he could have been doing that also, so that could 312 00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:35.240 be also true. But clearly he's talking about his intent, 313 00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:42.120 and so I just I have to rationalize and logically 314 00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:48.159 piece together twenty twenty five values. Right in twenty twenty five, 315 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:51.039 we would react to that and say that's not fair, 316 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:55.960 And how could Jesus, you know, not love anybody who's 317 00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:58.399 not Jewish, and that's not right and that's weird. And 318 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:00.799 why would he announce that, why would he call her 319 00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:02.919 a dog? Yeah, and we already covered that part of it. 320 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:04.600 Yeah, it's actually interesting. I'm not actually gonna go because 321 00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:06.279 I honestly that was not a part I was taken 322 00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:08.240 from that. But that's a really good point. But let 323 00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:10.000 me just read this little section here. It says Jesus' 324 00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:12.440 words do not contradict the truth that God's message is 325 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:14.919 for all people. After all, when Jesus said these words, 326 00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:17.600 he was in Gentile territory and a mission to gentile people. 327 00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:20.720 He administered to gentiles on many other occasions. Also, he 328 00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:22.799 was simply telling the woman that Jews were to have 329 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:25.360 the first opportunity to accept him as the Messiah, because 330 00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:28.200 God wanted them to present the message of salvation to 331 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:30.919 the rest of the world. Jesus was not rejecting the 332 00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:33.679 gentile woman. He may have wanted test her faith or 333 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:36.120 may or he may have wanted to use the situation 334 00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:39.279 as another opportunity to teach then the whole dog thing. 335 00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:41.639 So dogs was a term that Jews commonly applied to 336 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:44.360 gentiles because the Jews considered these pagan people no more 337 00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:47.000 likely than dogs to receive God's blessing. So he was 338 00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:49.559 not degrading the women by using this term. He was deflecting. 339 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.240 He was reflecting the Jews attitude it. So it's to 340 00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.200 contra trust it with his own. So anyways, yeah, it's interesting. 341 00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:59.279 Yeah, yeah. So and by the way, that note in 342 00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:03.399 your Bible is exactly where I was going. So it 343 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:07.639 is an interesting thing to address the feelings of a 344 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:11.240 twenty twenty five kind of reaction and then to realize 345 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.759 that you sort of have to rationalize and understand if 346 00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:18.120 you go back and if you look at every promise 347 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:21.559 given to God's people, that is exactly the answer. The 348 00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:25.480 answer is is that God never intended to hold back 349 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:30.840 miracles or truth or salvation from anybody. It's just the 350 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:35.159 timing of Jesus was incredibly intentional, right, So Jesus think 351 00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:38.799 about it. Jesus was so incredibly intentional about who knew 352 00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.679 he was the Messiah, who wasn't, who should be quiet, 353 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.080 and who should speak right and so, and he's saying that, hey, 354 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:48.240 at this time, the Jews have to have the first 355 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:52.360 opportunity to experience the miracles to come to the conclusion 356 00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:55.559 that I'm the Messiah, because salvation is for the world, 357 00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:58.399 but given through the Jews. He says that it actually 358 00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:01.759 says that in the Bible salvation it comes from the Jews. 359 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:04.359 It comes from the Jews, and so God's chosen people 360 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:07.160 in the Old Testament. Every promise has to be fulfilled. 361 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:11.039 Everything has to go the way that that God aligned 362 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:13.480 it and designed it. And this is just a part 363 00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:18.480 of God's major plan, right, the thirty thousand foot view 364 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:23.359 from the beginning until where we find ourselves now. Right. 365 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:28.000 So that's the reason why. And so God's intention is 366 00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:31.200 that salvation has to come, you know, through this way 367 00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:34.440 to get to to get to there, right, And so's 368 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:36.279 that's really the explanation there. 369 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:37.599 The onely things that stood up to me is when 370 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:40.799 he says, your woman, your faith is great. Even that 371 00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:43.519 right there for Jesus to say that your faith is great. 372 00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:46.440 Remember hearing somebody talk about this one time. They said, 373 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:49.920 there's only a few examples throughout scripture where Jesus was 374 00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:51.960 amazed where it says that Jesus was amazed at somebody, 375 00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:54.400 and it usually has to do with faith, and oftentimes 376 00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:54.799 it's and. 377 00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:56.240 By the way, the other one is from a gentile 378 00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:57.319 from a Roman. 379 00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:00.319 Yeah, well so it's lack of faith or actual faith. 380 00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:02.680 It's how you can amaze Jesus. And it's just because 381 00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:04.000 I look at that, I'm like, man, I want to 382 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:05.960 be that type of person that when when God looks 383 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:08.519 at me, when God looks at us, that he says, man, like, 384 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:11.119 if Jesus were speaking to me, like Kyle has faith, 385 00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:12.640 he has great faith. I think sometimes I think you 386 00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:15.039 and I are very similar. Sometimes it's easy to be skeptical, 387 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:16.240 so I might not be that person that would go 388 00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:18.440 and say, hey, Jesus, can you heal my doll? Like 389 00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:20.720 I don't know. I want to believe i'd be that person, 390 00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:23.440 you know, but it's hard because there's always those those things. 391 00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:25.880 And this woman here was like unrelenting. She says, gonna know, 392 00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:27.319 I'm gonna go talk to this guy. I heard he 393 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:28.759 can heal people. I'm gonna go talk to him. 394 00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:31.960 Yeah, Hey, so excuse me, I'm gonna go ahead and 395 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:35.599 tell a quick story because he says, hey, your faith 396 00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:39.000 is great, your request is granted. And Jeff and I 397 00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:42.440 mentioned this a few weeks back, but basically, you know, 398 00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:46.400 Jesus often talked about great faith versus no faith, little faith, 399 00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:49.319 and people are attempted to think that that's quantity of faith. 400 00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:53.640 But Jesus only referred to quality of faith, right, because 401 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:54.720
