  • 00:00:51.633 --> 00:00:57.272
  • Allen: so, the very next verses, luke gives us this scenario at a
  • 00:01:01.510 --> 00:01:05.714
  • Little village not far away.
  • 00:01:05.714 --> 00:01:07.649
  • There's a funeral procession, and jesus interrupts the funeral
  • 00:01:07.649 --> 00:01:11.086
  • Procession, and what does he do?
  • 00:01:11.086 --> 00:01:13.722
  • He said, "young man, get up."
  • 00:01:13.722 --> 00:01:20.062
  • "and the dead man sat up and he began to talk, and jesus gave
  • 00:01:20.062 --> 00:01:23.866
  • Him back to his mother."
  • 00:01:23.866 --> 00:01:26.101
  • Luke is highlighting something for us.
  • 00:01:26.101 --> 00:01:29.238
  • That jesus really did have a different kind of authority.
  • 00:01:29.238 --> 00:01:35.711
  • We're jesus's followers.
  • 00:01:35.711 --> 00:01:38.347
  • We're still having seminars debating whether miracles
  • 00:01:38.347 --> 00:01:40.482
  • Still happen.
  • 00:01:40.482 --> 00:01:43.652
  • For real.
  • 00:01:43.652 --> 00:01:45.521
  • We've got whole theological systems built on cessationism
  • 00:01:45.521 --> 00:01:48.857
  • That miracles stopped at the end of the 1st century.
  • 00:01:48.857 --> 00:01:55.664
  • Verse 16, "they were all filled with awe and they praised god.
  • 00:01:55.664 --> 00:02:01.036
  • 'a great prophet has appeared among us,' they said, 'god has
  • 00:02:01.036 --> 00:02:04.072
  • Come to help his people.'
  • 00:02:04.072 --> 00:02:07.075
  • And the news about jesus spread throughout judea and the
  • 00:02:07.075 --> 00:02:09.545
  • Surrounding country."
  • 00:02:09.545 --> 00:02:10.946
  • Now, what intrigues me in this particular little scenario is
  • 00:02:10.946 --> 00:02:16.985
  • It's an unsolicited miracle.
  • 00:02:16.985 --> 00:02:19.254
  • Nobody asked jesus to intervene.
  • 00:02:19.254 --> 00:02:23.492
  • The centurion comes with some pomp and some circumstance and a
  • 00:02:23.492 --> 00:02:27.329
  • Curriculum vitae, his resume.
  • 00:02:27.329 --> 00:02:29.264
  • "he's generous, he loves our people, he's been good to us, he
  • 00:02:29.264 --> 00:02:33.235
  • Hasn't mistreated us, he deserves to be helped, and he
  • 00:02:33.235 --> 00:02:35.837
  • Might help us some more."
  • 00:02:35.837 --> 00:02:39.474
  • But the widow in the--nain and this little funeral procession,
  • 00:02:39.474 --> 00:02:42.611
  • Nobody's asked for anything.
  • 00:02:42.611 --> 00:02:44.379
  • Jesus's compassion initiated the event.
  • 00:02:44.379 --> 00:02:48.483
  • And it's worth noting that the response is positive, grateful.
  • 00:02:48.483 --> 00:02:51.820
  • The news about jesus spread throughout the region.
  • 00:02:51.820 --> 00:02:56.491
  • It's one of the very--it's a unique--many, many times in
  • 00:02:56.491 --> 00:03:00.862
  • Luke's gospel, the response is going to be very different.
  • 00:03:00.862 --> 00:03:04.199
  • We're gonna see that in chapter 7, the same chapter.
  • 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:08.437
  • Next verse, verse 18, "john's disciples told him all about
  • 00:03:08.437 --> 00:03:11.273
  • These things."
  • 00:03:11.273 --> 00:03:12.641
  • All about what things?
  • 00:03:12.641 --> 00:03:13.976
  • Well, dead people are being raised to life, sick servants
  • 00:03:13.976 --> 00:03:15.777
  • Are being healed.
  • 00:03:15.777 --> 00:03:18.480
  • All the things luke's been telling us, john's disciples are
  • 00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:21.450
  • Telling him about it, so he calls two of them and he sent
  • 00:03:21.450 --> 00:03:23.552
  • Them to the lord to ask, "'are you the one who was to come, or
  • 00:03:23.552 --> 00:03:25.854
  • Should we expect someone else?'
  • 00:03:25.854 --> 00:03:28.523
  • And when the men came to jesus, they said, 'john the baptist
  • 00:03:28.523 --> 00:03:31.360
  • Sent us to you, 'are you the one who was to come, should we
  • 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.429
  • Expect someone else?'"
  • 00:03:34.429 --> 00:03:36.732
  • That very time jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses,
  • 00:03:36.732 --> 00:03:39.735
  • And evil spirits, he gave sight to many who were blind."
  • 00:03:39.735 --> 00:03:44.106
  • You--some of these verses, you need to take a verse and walk
  • 00:03:44.106 --> 00:03:46.375
  • Around with it all day long.
  • 00:03:46.375 --> 00:03:47.709
  • He gave sight to many who were blind.
  • 00:03:47.709 --> 00:03:50.779
  • Can you imagine how far we have deviated?
  • 00:03:50.779 --> 00:03:58.553
  • We have been content with bible studies, with memorizing names,
  • 00:03:58.553 --> 00:04:04.993
  • With arguing about translations, quibbling about worship styles,
  • 00:04:04.993 --> 00:04:10.499
  • What time service should begin, how frequently we take
  • 00:04:10.499 --> 00:04:12.601
  • Communion, what the architecture looks like, what we believe
  • 00:04:12.601 --> 00:04:17.406
  • About eschatology, all those things have a place.
  • 00:04:17.406 --> 00:04:19.408
  • I'm not opposed to them.
  • 00:04:19.408 --> 00:04:20.742
  • I've engaged in some of them myself, but i don't want to step
  • 00:04:20.742 --> 00:04:23.278
  • Away from the power of the gospel.
  • 00:04:23.278 --> 00:04:25.147
  • Luke is telling us a story.
  • 00:04:25.147 --> 00:04:28.383
  • He said, "i have thoroughly investigated this jesus guy.
  • 00:04:28.383 --> 00:04:30.886
  • I wanna tell you what it was like when he was here."
  • 00:04:30.886 --> 00:04:34.389
  • And when he gets to the book of acts and he starts to tell us
  • 00:04:34.389 --> 00:04:36.725
  • About jesus's friends, they act the same way.
  • 00:04:36.725 --> 00:04:41.897
  • Many blind people were healed.
  • 00:04:41.897 --> 00:04:45.801
  • What if we just began to frequently sit before the lord
  • 00:04:45.801 --> 00:04:48.437
  • And say, "lord, let your power be made more evident
  • 00:04:48.437 --> 00:04:52.874
  • In our lives"?
  • 00:04:52.874 --> 00:04:55.177
  • Now we gotta go back to that chapter 6 stuff, "we want
  • 00:04:55.177 --> 00:05:00.782
  • To do what you say, we wanna value the things you value and
  • 00:05:00.782 --> 00:05:07.356
  • Oppose the things you oppose."
  • 00:05:07.356 --> 00:05:10.559
  • You see we've spent decades now making friends with evil.
  • 00:05:10.559 --> 00:05:17.833
  • It's very common in the american church to say that inclusivity
  • 00:05:17.833 --> 00:05:23.305
  • And tolerance are primary biblical values.
  • 00:05:23.305 --> 00:05:30.312
  • Jesus is not tolerant of disobedience.
  • 00:05:30.312 --> 00:05:36.051
  • He's not inclusive of ungodliness.
  • 00:05:36.051 --> 00:05:40.389
  • He's not.
  • 00:05:40.389 --> 00:05:42.357
  • Doesn't mean we hate people.
  • 00:05:42.357 --> 00:05:45.193
  • We can love people who have a different viewpoint, but we have
  • 00:05:45.193 --> 00:05:48.196
  • A responsibility and obligation to tell the truth.
  • 00:05:48.196 --> 00:05:53.668
  • And if we fail to tell the truth, the bible says we will
  • 00:05:53.668 --> 00:05:56.972
  • Receive the judgment that the ungodly will receive because we
  • 00:05:56.972 --> 00:06:00.575
  • Didn't tell them the truth.
  • 00:06:00.575 --> 00:06:05.947
  • See, the reason we're in this terrible predicament as a
  • 00:06:05.947 --> 00:06:08.750
  • People, the reason our freedoms and liberties are teetering on
  • 00:06:08.750 --> 00:06:13.388
  • The brink is because the church has been far friendlier to
  • 00:06:13.388 --> 00:06:18.293
  • Ungodliness than we have been to righteousness and holiness
  • 00:06:18.293 --> 00:06:22.230
  • And purity.
  • 00:06:22.230 --> 00:06:30.705
  • We can change.
  • 00:06:30.705 --> 00:06:34.643
  • It's not the politicians and the parties that need to be
  • 00:06:32.808 --> 00:06:36.878
  • Different, it's the people of god that have to be different.
  • 00:06:36.878 --> 00:06:43.151
  • Well, i know i was in luke.
  • 00:06:43.151 --> 00:06:46.955
  • John's disciples, should we expect someone else?
  • 00:06:46.955 --> 00:06:49.758
  • How did i get there from that?
  • 00:06:49.758 --> 00:06:51.793
  • At that very time jesus cured many, that's what we did, many
  • 00:06:51.793 --> 00:06:54.362
  • Who were blind.
  • 00:06:54.362 --> 00:06:56.064
  • "so he replied to the messengers, 'go back and report
  • 00:06:56.064 --> 00:06:58.166
  • To john what you've seen and heard.
  • 00:06:58.166 --> 00:07:00.268
  • The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, those who have
  • 00:07:00.268 --> 00:07:02.504
  • Leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised.
  • 00:07:02.504 --> 00:07:05.874
  • Blessed is the man who doesn't fall away on account of me.'"
  • 00:07:05.874 --> 00:07:09.478
  • It's an interesting sentence.
  • 00:07:09.478 --> 00:07:11.613
  • "blessed is the man who doesn't fall away on account of me."
  • 00:07:11.613 --> 00:07:15.383
  • Why would you fall away?
  • 00:07:15.383 --> 00:07:16.751
  • The good news is being preached, the dead are raised, those with
  • 00:07:16.751 --> 00:07:18.820
  • Leprosy are cured, the death here.
  • 00:07:18.820 --> 00:07:22.591
  • But we've been following luke through this narrative, and many
  • 00:07:22.591 --> 00:07:25.660
  • People are following falling--away in his hometown,
  • 00:07:25.660 --> 00:07:28.063
  • They try to kill him.
  • 00:07:28.063 --> 00:07:30.298
  • When he says, "your sins are forgiven, they're offended."
  • 00:07:30.298 --> 00:07:33.835
  • When the man is healed, they're agitated.
  • 00:07:33.835 --> 00:07:36.972
  • On the sabbath day, when someone with a withered hand is healed,
  • 00:07:36.972 --> 00:07:40.208
  • They begin to plot how they can shut him down.
  • 00:07:40.208 --> 00:07:45.113
  • And jesus is reiterating and luke is repeating it for us,
  • 00:07:45.113 --> 00:07:48.783
  • "blessed is the man who doesn't fall away."
  • 00:07:48.783 --> 00:07:52.521
  • We read it when we read the birth stories from luke, a
  • 00:07:52.521 --> 00:07:55.824
  • Session or so back, but i put it back in your notes.
  • 00:07:55.824 --> 00:07:59.561
  • When they brought infant jesus to the temple in obedience to
  • 00:07:59.561 --> 00:08:05.033
  • The law, he's eight days old.
  • 00:08:05.033 --> 00:08:06.368
  • They bring him to the temple for circumcision.
  • 00:08:06.368 --> 00:08:09.538
  • Simeon is there, a prophet, and he took the child and listened
  • 00:08:09.538 --> 00:08:13.942
  • To what he said.
  • 00:08:13.942 --> 00:08:15.277
  • It's luke 2, "simeon blessed them and said to mary: 'this
  • 00:08:15.277 --> 00:08:18.446
  • Child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in
  • 00:08:18.446 --> 00:08:22.617
  • Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that
  • 00:08:22.617 --> 00:08:30.358
  • The thoughts of many hearts will be revealed.
  • 00:08:30.358 --> 00:08:33.828
  • And a sword will pierce your own soul too.'"
  • 00:08:33.828 --> 00:08:37.866
  • That's not really the language we would think of as an
  • 00:08:37.866 --> 00:08:40.302
  • Announcement for the messiah.
  • 00:08:40.302 --> 00:08:44.406
  • He's destined to cause the rising and falling of many in
  • 00:08:44.406 --> 00:08:49.377
  • The midst of the covenant people of god.
  • 00:08:49.377 --> 00:08:56.718
  • And so, luke repeats it for us in this context of john
  • 00:08:56.718 --> 00:08:59.955
  • The baptist.
  • 00:08:59.955 --> 00:09:01.523
  • Jesus says, "blessed is the one who doesn't fall away."
  • 00:09:01.523 --> 00:09:05.827
  • Verse 24, "after john's messengers left, jesus began to
  • 00:09:05.827 --> 00:09:08.363
  • Speak to the crowd: 'what did you go out in the desert to see?
  • 00:09:08.363 --> 00:09:11.132
  • A reed swayed by the wind?
  • 00:09:11.132 --> 00:09:14.069
  • If not, what'd you go out to see?'"
  • 00:09:14.069 --> 00:09:15.837
  • He keeps asking the question.
  • 00:09:15.837 --> 00:09:17.405
  • "'a man dressed in fine clothes?
  • 00:09:17.405 --> 00:09:19.007
  • No, those who wear expensive clothes, they live in palaces.
  • 00:09:19.007 --> 00:09:23.144
  • What did you go out to see?
  • 00:09:23.144 --> 00:09:24.479
  • A prophet? yeah.
  • 00:09:24.479 --> 00:09:26.181
  • But i tell you, much more than that--more than a prophet.
  • 00:09:26.181 --> 00:09:30.218
  • This is the one about whom it's written: "i'll send my messenger
  • 00:09:30.218 --> 00:09:32.687
  • Ahead of you, to prepare the way before you."'"
  • 00:09:32.687 --> 00:09:36.358
  • And then there's that phrase you've come to know.
  • 00:09:36.358 --> 00:09:37.859
  • "i tell you," it's the abbreviated form of i tell you
  • 00:09:37.859 --> 00:09:40.128
  • The truth: buckle up.
  • 00:09:40.128 --> 00:09:43.298
  • "'among those born among women there's no one greater
  • 00:09:43.298 --> 00:09:45.266
  • Than john.'
  • 00:09:45.266 --> 00:09:50.372
  • (the people, even the tax collectors, when they heard
  • 00:09:50.372 --> 00:09:52.340
  • Jesus's words, acknowledged that god's way was right, because
  • 00:09:52.340 --> 00:09:55.410
  • They've been baptized by john.
  • 00:09:55.410 --> 00:09:56.978
  • But the pharisees and the experts in the law rejected
  • 00:09:56.978 --> 00:09:59.547
  • God's purposes for themselves."
  • 00:09:59.547 --> 00:10:02.384
  • Again, luke keeps giving us this contrast.
  • 00:10:02.384 --> 00:10:05.253
  • Why do you call me lord and not do it?
  • 00:10:05.253 --> 00:10:07.756
  • The tax collectors, the prostitutes, the publicly
  • 00:10:07.756 --> 00:10:10.792
  • Ungodly, the most immoral amongst us reorient their lives
  • 00:10:10.792 --> 00:10:14.696
  • Around the message that jesus presents.
  • 00:10:14.696 --> 00:10:16.364
  • The roman centurion will do it, but the people you expect won't.
  • 00:10:16.364 --> 00:10:22.337
  • It should be a warning to us.
  • 00:10:22.337 --> 00:10:23.705
  • We're the people that would be the most expected.
  • 00:10:23.705 --> 00:10:26.608
  • Revivals and renewals very seldom start within the church.
  • 00:10:26.608 --> 00:10:30.845
  • They almost always begin on the periphery.
  • 00:10:30.845 --> 00:10:34.182
  • There have been some exceptions, but that's generally the case.
  • 00:10:34.182 --> 00:10:38.753
  • "'to what can i compare the people of this generation?
  • 00:10:38.753 --> 00:10:40.989
  • What are they like?
  • 00:10:40.989 --> 00:10:42.323
  • They're like children sitting in a marketplace calling out to
  • 00:10:42.323 --> 00:10:44.025
  • Each other: "we played the flute for you, and you didn't dance;
  • 00:10:44.025 --> 00:10:46.695
  • We sang a dirge, and you didn't cry."
  • 00:10:46.695 --> 00:10:48.763
  • John the baptist came eating bread and drinking--came neither
  • 00:10:48.763 --> 00:10:53.068
  • Eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, "he has a demon."
  • 00:10:53.068 --> 00:10:55.170
  • And the son of man came eating and drinking, and you say, "he's
  • 00:10:55.170 --> 00:10:57.205
  • A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors."'"
  • 00:10:57.205 --> 00:11:01.476
  • Jesus's words are harsh.
  • 00:11:01.476 --> 00:11:04.713
  • They're not conciliatory, they're provocative.
  • 00:11:04.713 --> 00:11:08.883
  • In passage after passage, conversation after conversation,
  • 00:11:08.883 --> 00:11:12.687
  • He says, "what are you thinking?
  • 00:11:12.687 --> 00:11:16.991
  • What are you doing?"
  • 00:11:16.991 --> 00:11:22.230
  • He's challenging the repeated ever changing demands of a
  • 00:11:22.230 --> 00:11:25.066
  • Dissatisfied audience.
  • 00:11:25.066 --> 00:11:27.836
  • Luke pushes on.
  • 00:11:27.836 --> 00:11:29.204
  • Remember, this is one continual narrative.
  • 00:11:29.204 --> 00:11:33.108
  • "now one of the pharisees invited jesus to have dinner
  • 00:11:33.108 --> 00:11:35.276
  • With him, so he went to the pharisee's house, he reclined at
  • 00:11:35.276 --> 00:11:39.147
  • The table."
  • 00:11:39.147 --> 00:11:40.515
  • He went to the party with the sinners.
  • 00:11:40.515 --> 00:11:41.850
  • Now he's going to the pharisee's house.
  • 00:11:41.850 --> 00:11:43.551
  • He told the sinners to repent.
  • 00:11:43.551 --> 00:11:44.919
  • Now he's at the house of the pharisee.
  • 00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:46.554
  • I'm curious what's gonna happen.
  • 00:11:46.554 --> 00:11:50.058
  • A little spoiler alert, it's gonna be a very different
  • 00:11:50.058 --> 00:11:52.193
  • Attitude than the roman centurion had.
  • 00:11:52.193 --> 00:11:58.199
  • "a woman who'd lived a sinful life in that town learned that
  • 00:11:58.199 --> 00:12:00.568
  • Jesus was eating at the pharisee's house, and she
  • 00:12:00.568 --> 00:12:03.304
  • Brought an alabaster jar of perfume, and as she stood behind
  • 00:12:03.304 --> 00:12:05.774
  • Him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with
  • 00:12:05.774 --> 00:12:07.842
  • Her tears.
  • 00:12:07.842 --> 00:12:09.177
  • She wiped them with her hair, she kissed them and poured
  • 00:12:09.177 --> 00:12:10.879
  • Perfume on them."
  • 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:12.881
  • Luke is gonna give us a very poignant contrast between what
  • 00:12:12.881 --> 00:12:15.950
  • He simply calls a sinful woman.
  • 00:12:15.950 --> 00:12:17.385
  • We don't know what kind of sin.
  • 00:12:17.385 --> 00:12:19.687
  • I know traditionally we've kind of attached that she's a
  • 00:12:19.687 --> 00:12:21.756
  • Prostitute, but luke doesn't say that.
  • 00:12:21.756 --> 00:12:23.191
  • He just says she's sinful.
  • 00:12:23.191 --> 00:12:25.393
  • She may have been a cat burglar.
  • 00:12:25.393 --> 00:12:30.398
  • I mean, she may cheat at poker, we don't know.
  • 00:12:30.398 --> 00:12:34.736
  • It just says she's a very sinful woman.
  • 00:12:34.736 --> 00:12:37.739
  • No, i do think it's noteworthy that if you're cataloged in the
  • 00:12:37.739 --> 00:12:40.074
  • Bible is very sinful.
  • 00:12:40.074 --> 00:12:42.677
  • And she's public enough with it that pharisees recognize her and
  • 00:12:42.677 --> 00:12:45.313
  • Go, "oh, that's a very sinful woman."
  • 00:12:45.313 --> 00:12:48.449
  • So, it's not like something private, it's a part of
  • 00:12:48.449 --> 00:12:51.119
  • Her story.
  • 00:12:51.119 --> 00:12:53.021
  • It's her resume, that woman is very sin--not just sinful,
  • 00:12:53.021 --> 00:12:56.591
  • Very sinful.
  • 00:12:56.591 --> 00:13:01.462
  • And she's wiping jesus's feet with her tears and her hair.
  • 00:13:01.462 --> 00:13:07.302
  • "when the pharisee who'd invited him saw this, he said to
  • 00:13:07.302 --> 00:13:10.438
  • Himself, 'if this man were a prophet, he would know who's
  • 00:13:10.438 --> 00:13:14.142
  • Touching him and what kind of woman she is, that she's
  • 00:13:14.142 --> 00:13:16.144
  • A sinner.'
  • 00:13:16.144 --> 00:13:18.479
  • So jesus answered him, 'simon, i have something to tell you.'"
  • 00:13:18.479 --> 00:13:25.420
  • You've read enough of luke now, you're going, "oh, simon, it
  • 00:13:25.420 --> 00:13:29.524
  • Would just be better if you got on your knees right now."
  • 00:13:29.524 --> 00:13:34.429
  • Jesus is going to address his host.
  • 00:13:34.429 --> 00:13:37.465
  • And this is what i wanna give you, i don't want you to be
  • 00:13:37.465 --> 00:13:40.635
  • Angry or belligerent or obnoxious, but he is not going
  • 00:13:40.635 --> 00:13:44.405
  • To let the moment slip past.
  • 00:13:44.405 --> 00:13:48.543
  • He's not going to avoid the difficult discussion.
  • 00:13:48.543 --> 00:13:51.479
  • Do you understand how differently we live?
  • 00:13:51.479 --> 00:13:56.284
  • We sit in places where we hear ungodly things, immoral things.
  • 00:13:56.284 --> 00:14:03.858
  • We hear people compromise all sorts of stuff, and we think,
  • 00:14:03.858 --> 00:14:09.163
  • "well, i don't wanna be divisive."
  • 00:14:09.163 --> 00:14:12.700
  • Jesus is all about love, right?
  • 00:14:12.700 --> 00:14:20.909
  • Is that not how we've been coached?
  • 00:14:20.909 --> 00:14:26.514
  • We haven't been coached that way by jesus.
  • 00:14:26.514 --> 00:14:31.085
  • "'simon, i have something to tell you.'
  • 00:14:31.085 --> 00:14:33.621
  • 'tell me, teacher.'
  • 00:14:33.621 --> 00:14:35.990
  • 'two men owed money to a certain moneylender.
  • 00:14:35.990 --> 00:14:37.825
  • One owed him five hundred denarii,'" $500, "'and the
  • 00:14:37.825 --> 00:14:41.029
  • Other fifty.
  • 00:14:41.029 --> 00:14:42.563
  • Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he canceled the
  • 00:14:42.563 --> 00:14:44.899
  • Debts of both.
  • 00:14:44.899 --> 00:14:46.601
  • Which of them will love him more?'
  • 00:14:46.601 --> 00:14:49.270
  • 'well, i suppose the one who had the bigger debt canceled.'
  • 00:14:49.270 --> 00:14:52.106
  • 'you've judged correctly.'
  • 00:14:52.106 --> 00:14:54.475
  • Then he turned to the woman and said to simon," he looks at the
  • 00:14:54.475 --> 00:14:56.878
  • Woman, but he's talking to simon, "'do you see this woman?
  • 00:14:56.878 --> 00:15:00.214
  • I came into your house and you didn't give me any water for my
  • 00:15:00.214 --> 00:15:02.750
  • Feet,'" which was a common expression of courtesy.
  • 00:15:02.750 --> 00:15:07.588
  • You see, he's been antagonistic to jesus.
  • 00:15:07.588 --> 00:15:09.524
  • He invited him to his home, but he did it in a surly,
  • 00:15:09.524 --> 00:15:12.927
  • Suspicious, combative way.
  • 00:15:12.927 --> 00:15:17.732
  • And this woman has come with the exact opposite attitude, and
  • 00:15:17.732 --> 00:15:20.802
  • Jesus is not gonna let it go.
  • 00:15:20.802 --> 00:15:26.741
  • "'she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
  • 00:15:26.741 --> 00:15:28.943
  • You didn't give me a kiss, but from the time i entered, she
  • 00:15:28.943 --> 00:15:32.080
  • Hasn't stopped kissing my feet.
  • 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:34.282
  • You didn't put oil on my head, but she's poured her perfume on
  • 00:15:34.282 --> 00:15:36.617
  • My feet.
  • 00:15:36.617 --> 00:15:38.152
  • Therefore, i tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she
  • 00:15:38.152 --> 00:15:40.655
  • Loved much.
  • 00:15:40.655 --> 00:15:42.023
  • But he who's been forgiven little loves little.'
  • 00:15:42.023 --> 00:15:44.559
  • And jesus said to her, 'your sins are forgiven.'"
  • 00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:47.028
  • Can you imagine?
  • 00:15:47.028 --> 00:15:48.396
  • Can you see the frustration on simon?
  • 00:15:48.396 --> 00:15:51.766
  • Can you see the veins distending?
  • 00:15:51.766 --> 00:15:54.702
  • Who does he think he is?
  • 00:15:54.702 --> 00:15:59.941
  • What fascinates me is the next sentence, "the other guests,
  • 00:15:59.941 --> 00:16:05.513
  • They began to say among themselves, 'who is this who
  • 00:16:05.513 --> 00:16:10.385
  • Even forgives sins?'"
  • 00:16:10.385 --> 00:16:12.453
  • Simon's friends, they got his back.
  • 00:16:12.453 --> 00:16:16.357
  • "who does this guy think he is?
  • 00:16:16.357 --> 00:16:20.728
  • Just who does he think he is?
  • 00:16:20.728 --> 00:16:24.565
  • How does he dare behave that way?"
  • 00:16:24.565 --> 00:16:29.470
  • Allen: welcome to 2026. happy new year.
  • 00:16:33.307 --> 00:16:36.511
  • We've created a new book to help you.
  • 00:16:36.511 --> 00:16:38.012
  • It's called "turn up the light."
  • 00:16:38.012 --> 00:16:39.347
  • It's a devotional for the whole year.
  • 00:16:39.347 --> 00:16:40.982
  • It's a really simple idea.
  • 00:16:40.982 --> 00:16:42.316
  • I can join you for a cup of coffee in the morning.
  • 00:16:42.316 --> 00:16:45.153
  • We'll have a brief conversation with a spiritual principle
  • 00:16:45.153 --> 00:16:47.522
  • To start our day, a scripture verse, a prayer.
  • 00:16:47.522 --> 00:16:50.658
  • And then when you're tired of me,
  • 00:16:50.658 --> 00:16:51.993

  • Let's invite god into the midst of this year
  • 00:16:58.933 --> 00:17:01.369

  • Happening here with allen jackson ministries.
  • 00:17:57.992 --> 00:18:02.163
  • Allen: one of the things we'll pick up as we walk through luke
  • 00:18:03.564 --> 00:18:06.567
  • Is place after place, circumstance after circumstance,
  • 00:18:06.567 --> 00:18:09.904
  • Jesus faces rejection.
  • 00:18:09.904 --> 00:18:14.675
  • Now he doesn't shy away from confrontation, but neither does
  • 00:18:14.675 --> 00:18:18.779
  • He withhold the power of god.
  • 00:18:18.779 --> 00:18:23.184
  • And in spite of the demonstrations of the miracles
  • 00:18:23.184 --> 00:18:25.153
  • And the supernatural and all of those things, there's not a
  • 00:18:25.153 --> 00:18:27.755
  • Universal response of, "wow."
  • 00:18:27.755 --> 00:18:32.527
  • There's just as frequently a response of, "i don't like the
  • 00:18:32.527 --> 00:18:35.663
  • Way you did that.
  • 00:18:35.663 --> 00:18:38.166
  • I don't like the day on which you did it.
  • 00:18:38.166 --> 00:18:40.535
  • I don't like the attitude with which you did it.
  • 00:18:40.535 --> 00:18:43.171
  • I don't like the people to whom you're ministering."
  • 00:18:43.171 --> 00:18:48.976
  • Jesus has to overcome the rejection.
  • 00:18:48.976 --> 00:18:52.914
  • He doesn't avoid it, he doesn't overlook it, he overcame it.
  • 00:18:52.914 --> 00:18:56.317
  • We're gonna talk about that, what it means to overcome
  • 00:18:56.317 --> 00:18:58.853
  • Rejection, because we've been so frightened by it, so threatened
  • 00:18:58.853 --> 00:19:01.923
  • By it, we've tried to avoid it, so we don't tell the truth.
  • 00:19:01.923 --> 00:19:06.527
  • We don't even invite people towards the power of god because
  • 00:19:06.527 --> 00:19:09.263
  • We're afraid if it doesn't work out the way that they would
  • 00:19:09.263 --> 00:19:11.065
  • Like, that we're gonna be left in some awkward place, so we've
  • 00:19:11.065 --> 00:19:13.734
  • Just kind of withdrawn from the whole discussion.
  • 00:19:13.734 --> 00:19:16.804
  • We've looked for some kind of polite, sanitized discussion of
  • 00:19:16.804 --> 00:19:19.540
  • Our faith that couldn't offend anyone under any circumstance at
  • 00:19:19.540 --> 00:19:22.376
  • Any time.
  • 00:19:22.376 --> 00:19:25.079
  • And we have a gospel that paul describes, i know i've left luke
  • 00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:27.748
  • Now, but we've got a gospel that paul's described is they have a
  • 00:19:27.748 --> 00:19:30.651
  • Form of godliness, but they deny the power of it.
  • 00:19:30.651 --> 00:19:35.256
  • It's a pretty good snapshot of where we're living.
  • 00:19:35.256 --> 00:19:39.694
  • And luke is inviting us back to something else, something
  • 00:19:39.694 --> 00:19:43.164
  • Dramatically different.
  • 00:19:43.164 --> 00:19:46.300
  • The other guest of the pharisee has thoughts very similar to
  • 00:19:46.300 --> 00:19:48.669
  • Their host.
  • 00:19:48.669 --> 00:19:50.004
  • They're very prepared to be critical of jesus.
  • 00:19:50.004 --> 00:19:52.740
  • Jesus is facing a very difficult audience, and it's compounded
  • 00:19:52.740 --> 00:19:56.711
  • Exponentially by a very sinful woman wiping his feet with
  • 00:19:56.711 --> 00:20:02.316
  • Her hair.
  • 00:20:02.316 --> 00:20:04.385
  • Awkward.
  • 00:20:04.385 --> 00:20:09.123
  • And the group of people gathered had very little, if any,
  • 00:20:09.123 --> 00:20:11.959
  • Compassion for the woman or her transformation.
  • 00:20:11.959 --> 00:20:16.297
  • She leaves this encounter having received forgiveness, her
  • 00:20:16.297 --> 00:20:19.934
  • Eternity has been adjusted, her life has been repurposed, and
  • 00:20:19.934 --> 00:20:24.839
  • There's no joy for that.
  • 00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:28.009
  • There's angst, there's frustration, there's resentment,
  • 00:20:28.009 --> 00:20:31.012
  • There's rejection of jesus.
  • 00:20:31.012 --> 00:20:32.780
  • "how dare he?
  • 00:20:32.780 --> 00:20:34.649
  • We don't have to be kind to him, but we're gonna sit here in
  • 00:20:34.649 --> 00:20:36.917
  • Judgment of him."
  • 00:20:36.917 --> 00:20:38.319
  • And jesus, he doesn't let it go.
  • 00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:42.056
  • It's like, you know, in my mind it's like he pulled his chair a
  • 00:20:42.056 --> 00:20:44.659
  • Little closer to the table and he said, "simon, i wanna ask you
  • 00:20:44.659 --> 00:20:47.528
  • Some questions.
  • 00:20:47.528 --> 00:20:51.032
  • You don't like this woman's behavior, but let me talk to you
  • 00:20:51.032 --> 00:20:53.934
  • About your behavior for a minute."
  • 00:20:53.934 --> 00:20:58.506
  • And you can feel his friends, "who is he to talk to him
  • 00:20:58.506 --> 00:21:04.612
  • Like this?"
  • 00:21:04.612 --> 00:21:06.747
  • And luke is giving us this very poignant contrast between
  • 00:21:06.747 --> 00:21:11.085
  • Sinful people.
  • 00:21:11.085 --> 00:21:12.453
  • Roman centurions, sinful women that come to jesus and say...
  • 00:21:12.453 --> 00:21:20.061
  • And all these religious characters with great
  • 00:21:20.061 --> 00:21:23.364
  • Credentials and covenant and access to power going, "i don't
  • 00:21:23.364 --> 00:21:27.935
  • Like the way you're behaving."
  • 00:21:27.935 --> 00:21:31.706
  • And jesus smiles and go, "and i don't think much of your
  • 00:21:31.706 --> 00:21:34.909
  • Behavior either.
  • 00:21:34.909 --> 00:21:37.745
  • You call me lord and you don't do what i do."
  • 00:21:37.745 --> 00:21:43.284
  • Now, the point of reading the scripture is not to assimilate
  • 00:21:43.284 --> 00:21:47.021
  • Historical data.
  • 00:21:47.021 --> 00:21:49.156
  • As i understand it, the point of reading the scripture is that
  • 00:21:49.156 --> 00:21:51.859
  • You and i might be transformed more fully into the image
  • 00:21:51.859 --> 00:21:54.662
  • Of jesus.
  • 00:21:54.662 --> 00:21:59.066
  • So, when you say things like, "well, you know, in polite
  • 00:21:59.066 --> 00:22:01.235
  • Company we don't talk about faith or politics," i'm like,
  • 00:22:01.235 --> 00:22:04.805
  • "and in what bible did you take that from?"
  • 00:22:04.805 --> 00:22:08.342
  • In case you've forgotten, john the baptist lost his head over
  • 00:22:08.342 --> 00:22:14.348
  • Commentary on his current events.
  • 00:22:14.348 --> 00:22:17.985
  • And when jesus is asked to give an evaluation of him, he said,
  • 00:22:17.985 --> 00:22:21.188
  • "there's never been anybody better."
  • 00:22:21.188 --> 00:22:24.258
  • If john had been a bigmouth or a hothead, he might have said
  • 00:22:24.258 --> 00:22:27.361
  • About peter, you know, "peter has a little trouble sometimes.
  • 00:22:27.361 --> 00:22:32.133
  • His mouth gets ahead of his heart or his brain."
  • 00:22:32.133 --> 00:22:35.569
  • But he didn't say that about john.
  • 00:22:35.569 --> 00:22:37.004
  • He said, "there's never been anybody better.
  • 00:22:37.004 --> 00:22:40.107
  • He was more than a prophet.
  • 00:22:40.107 --> 00:22:43.844
  • He was preparatory for me.
  • 00:22:43.844 --> 00:22:45.312
  • He had some hard things to say because when i'm coming along,
  • 00:22:45.312 --> 00:22:48.149
  • What i'm gonna say is more difficult than what john said.
  • 00:22:48.149 --> 00:22:52.586
  • You think he talked about current events, get a load of
  • 00:22:52.586 --> 00:22:55.556
  • What i've got to say."
  • 00:22:55.556 --> 00:23:01.529
  • I don't imagine that we can take the gospel to our generation
  • 00:23:01.529 --> 00:23:06.133
  • Without grappling with rejection.
  • 00:23:06.133 --> 00:23:10.471
  • I mean, in this single chapter, luke has given us these two
  • 00:23:10.471 --> 00:23:13.774
  • Groups, these two outcomes.
  • 00:23:13.774 --> 00:23:15.176
  • It concludes with this narrative around this woman.
  • 00:23:15.176 --> 00:23:17.945
  • "'your faith has saved you, go in peace.'"
  • 00:23:17.945 --> 00:23:20.481
  • And the other group is left grumbling without any momentum,
  • 00:23:20.481 --> 00:23:23.684
  • Without any blessing, and they just had dinner with jesus.
  • 00:23:23.684 --> 00:23:29.323
  • Chapter and a half ago, jesus has dinner with the sinners, the
  • 00:23:29.323 --> 00:23:33.661
  • Prostitutes and the tax collectors, and they are
  • 00:23:33.661 --> 00:23:36.096
  • Receptive and being transformed and repenting.
  • 00:23:36.096 --> 00:23:39.300
  • And when he's sitting with his self-righteous crowd, they leave
  • 00:23:39.300 --> 00:23:42.169
  • Grumpy, grumbling, and plotting jesus's demise.
  • 00:23:42.169 --> 00:23:48.776
  • Church, we've got to bring some alignment with our lives and our
  • 00:23:48.776 --> 00:23:54.615
  • Behaviors and our conversations to the word of god.
  • 00:23:54.615 --> 00:23:59.220
  • We've imagined we were biblical if we didn't use profanity.
  • 00:23:59.220 --> 00:24:03.324
  • Well, i'm grateful that you don't use profanity.
  • 00:24:03.324 --> 00:24:05.092
  • I'm not encouraging that.
  • 00:24:05.092 --> 00:24:07.828
  • But wee've got to be willing to tell the truth.
  • 00:24:07.828 --> 00:24:12.933
  • Life is sacred.
  • 00:24:12.933 --> 00:24:15.135
  • God defined marriage.
  • 00:24:15.135 --> 00:24:17.505
  • Parental authority trumps the teachers unions.
  • 00:24:17.505 --> 00:24:22.877
  • I mean, you can build your list.
  • 00:24:22.877 --> 00:24:26.280
  • They're not political issues, they're biblical issues, and
  • 00:24:26.280 --> 00:24:30.584
  • We've been hiding from them.
  • 00:24:30.584 --> 00:24:32.386
  • Worse than that, we've been supporting unbiblical issues.
  • 00:24:32.386 --> 00:24:38.826
  • But god is helping us.
  • 00:24:38.826 --> 00:24:41.262
  • I hope you're enjoying luke.
  • 00:24:41.262 --> 00:24:43.364
  • I'm having a good time with him.
  • 00:24:43.364 --> 00:24:46.400
  • I brought us a prayer.
  • 00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:48.369
  • My time's up.
  • 00:24:48.369 --> 00:24:49.737
  • It's not--it's familiar to you.
  • 00:24:49.737 --> 00:24:51.105
  • It's not new.
  • 00:24:51.105 --> 00:24:52.439
  • It's a part of the proclamation that we've said around here for
  • 00:24:52.439 --> 00:24:54.041
  • A bit.
  • 00:24:54.041 --> 00:24:56.744
  • I'd bring you the whole thing, but i never quit on time, so i
  • 00:24:56.744 --> 00:24:59.079
  • Know you won't get through it.
  • 00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:01.048
  • Let's stand together and take this piece.
  • 00:25:01.048 --> 00:25:05.085
  • All these statements are derived from scripture.
  • 00:25:05.085 --> 00:25:06.921
  • We could put verses to support them.
  • 00:25:06.921 --> 00:25:08.455
  • We will at some point.
  • 00:25:08.455 --> 00:25:10.724
  • Roll it into a series and give it to you so you can
  • 00:25:10.724 --> 00:25:12.893
  • Share input.
  • 00:25:12.893 --> 00:25:14.395
  • It's simply--you know, a proclamation is when you take
  • 00:25:14.395 --> 00:25:16.330
  • What god's word says about you and you add the authority of
  • 00:25:16.330 --> 00:25:19.567
  • Your words in implementing it in your life.
  • 00:25:19.567 --> 00:25:22.736
  • It moves it from theoretical to a part of your own journey.
  • 00:25:22.736 --> 00:25:26.740
  • And that's a very valuable way to learn to pray.
  • 00:25:26.740 --> 00:25:30.144
  • Let's read it together, "we are not satisfied.
  • 00:25:30.144 --> 00:25:32.813
  • We're not distracted.
  • 00:25:32.813 --> 00:25:34.515
  • We're not weary in doing good.
  • 00:25:34.515 --> 00:25:36.750
  • We're not discouraged.
  • 00:25:36.750 --> 00:25:38.419
  • We have our eyes on the cross and our hearts set on the prize.
  • 00:25:38.419 --> 00:25:42.456
  • We believe the one who has promised is faithful.
  • 00:25:42.456 --> 00:25:45.659
  • We believe the holy spirit is our helper.
  • 00:25:45.659 --> 00:25:48.495
  • We believe that what we ask in jesus's name our
  • 00:25:48.495 --> 00:25:51.432
  • Father provides.
  • 00:25:51.432 --> 00:25:53.167
  • We believe that the king of kings is returning to the earth
  • 00:25:53.167 --> 00:25:56.971
  • In all of his glory--and we intend to be about his business
  • 00:25:56.971 --> 00:26:01.709
  • Until that moment in time.
  • 00:26:01.709 --> 00:26:03.911
  • We will not stop."
  • 00:26:03.911 --> 00:26:06.246
  • Amen.
  • 00:26:06.246 --> 00:26:08.282
  • God bless you.
  • 00:26:08.282 --> 00:26:13.187
  • Allen: hey, how we begin our year, it matters.
  • 00:26:17.124 --> 00:26:19.593
  • So, we've created a tool to help you get the year off on the
  • 00:26:19.593 --> 00:26:22.062
  • Right foot.
  • 00:26:22.062 --> 00:26:23.430
  • It's a devotional for this year.
  • 00:26:23.430 --> 00:26:24.765
  • We've taken our email demotionals that you're familiar
  • 00:26:24.765 --> 00:26:27.401
  • With, and we've edited it into a book, 365-day devotional with a
  • 00:26:27.401 --> 00:26:32.439
  • Little short thought for the day, a scripture verse, a
  • 00:26:32.439 --> 00:26:34.775
  • Prayer, just a little momentum for every day.
  • 00:26:34.775 --> 00:26:37.645
  • Let's start this year on purpose, inviting god's best
  • 00:26:37.645 --> 00:26:41.348
  • Into our lives.
  • 00:26:41.348 --> 00:26:42.816
  • Many of you are familiar with those devotionals.
  • 00:26:42.816 --> 00:26:44.652
  • You get them in your inbox.
  • 00:26:44.652 --> 00:26:46.020
  • We want to give you a hard copy.
  • 00:26:46.020 --> 00:26:47.354
  • Maybe you get a second copy, share it with a friend, use it
  • 00:26:47.354 --> 00:26:49.690
  • As a mission project this year, maybe take it to work, recruit
  • 00:26:49.690 --> 00:26:53.193
  • Somebody that you're working with.
  • 00:26:53.193 --> 00:26:54.695
  • It's a simple way to invite god into the beginning of your day
  • 00:26:54.695 --> 00:26:58.532
  • On purpose.
  • 00:26:58.532 --> 00:26:59.900
  • And if we do that, i believe the outcome will be
  • 00:26:59.900 --> 00:27:02.436
  • Truly significant.
  • 00:27:02.436 --> 00:27:04.038
  • God in the midst of whatever we're doing makes the
  • 00:27:04.038 --> 00:27:05.973
  • Outcomes better.
  • 00:27:05.973 --> 00:27:07.441
  • It's an exciting time.
  • 00:27:07.441 --> 00:27:08.776
  • I like the beginning of a new year.
  • 00:27:08.776 --> 00:27:10.144
  • All the promise and the hope that that brings, let's put god
  • 00:27:10.144 --> 00:27:12.646
  • In the center of it.
  • 00:27:12.646 --> 00:27:13.981
  • "turn up the light," is the name of the devotional, and i believe
  • 00:27:13.981 --> 00:27:15.983
  • It'll do just that in your life.
