  • And they departed leaving him half dead.
  • 00:11:59.845 --> 00:12:02.448
  • Leaving him half dead. the priest came by and passed
  • 00:12:02.515 --> 00:12:03.816
  • The priest came by and passed by on the other side,
  • 00:12:03.883 --> 00:12:07.253
  • By on the other side, like the levite came
  • 00:12:07.319 --> 00:12:08.854
  • Like the levite came and passed on the other side.

  • 00:12:10.823 --> 00:12:12.324
  • These men represented the religious community.
  • 00:12:12.391 --> 00:12:15.094
  • The religious community. they walked away
  • 00:12:15.161 --> 00:12:16.162
  • They walked away from the problem.
  • 00:12:16.228 --> 00:12:19.365
  • From the problem. the more religious you are,
  • 00:12:19.431 --> 00:12:21.367
  • The more religious you are, the more mechanical you are,
  • 00:12:21.433 --> 00:12:24.103
  • The more mechanical you are, and the less merciful you are.
  • 00:12:24.170 --> 00:12:28.007
  • And the less merciful you are. you have ceremony
  • 00:12:28.073 --> 00:12:30.442
  • You have ceremony without compassion.
  • 00:12:30.509 --> 00:12:32.511
  • Without compassion. you have ritual
  • 00:12:32.578 --> 00:12:34.346
  • You have ritual without righteousness.
  • 00:12:34.413 --> 00:12:36.282
  • Without righteousness. you have demonstrations
  • 00:12:36.348 --> 00:12:39.552
  • You have demonstrations more than the love of god.
  • 00:12:39.618 --> 00:12:42.021
  • More than the love of god. your schedule is more
  • 00:12:42.087 --> 00:12:43.088
  • Your schedule is more important than suffering souls.
  • 00:12:43.155 --> 00:12:46.525
  • Important than suffering souls. jesus painted
  • 00:12:46.592 --> 00:12:47.426
  • Jesus painted the religious crowd,

  • The religious crowd, the pharisees as
  • 00:12:48.594 --> 00:12:50.696
  • The pharisees as cold, calloused,
  • 00:12:50.763 --> 00:12:52.431
  • Cold, calloused, mean-spirited, pompous,
  • 00:12:52.498 --> 00:12:54.667
  • Mean-spirited, pompous, legalistic, stuffed shirts who
  • 00:12:54.733 --> 00:12:56.735
  • Legalistic, stuffed shirts who couldn't spell mercy
  • 00:12:56.802 --> 00:12:58.504
  • Couldn't spell mercy let alone show it.
  • 00:12:58.571 --> 00:13:01.006
  • Let alone show it. but a good samaritan came by
  • 00:13:01.073 --> 00:13:02.808
  • But a good samaritan came by and had compassion on this man.
  • 00:13:02.875 --> 00:13:04.877
  • And had compassion on this man. he bound up his wounds,
  • 00:13:04.944 --> 00:13:06.779
  • He bound up his wounds, he poured in oil and wine,
  • 00:13:06.846 --> 00:13:09.215
  • He poured in oil and wine, which was beneficial
  • 00:13:09.281 --> 00:13:11.016
  • Which was beneficial for his recuperation.
  • 00:13:11.083 --> 00:13:14.186
  • For his recuperation. he put him in his ford truck
  • 00:13:14.253 --> 00:13:15.454
  • He put him in his ford truck and took him to the baptist
  • 00:13:15.521 --> 00:13:16.555
  • And took him to the baptist hospital and said,
  • 00:13:16.622 --> 00:13:17.823
  • Hospital and said, "here's my
  • 00:13:17.890 --> 00:13:19.091
  • "here's my american express card,
  • 00:13:19.158 --> 00:13:20.559
  • American express card, take care of this person.
  • 00:13:20.626 --> 00:13:21.961
  • Take care of this person. i'll pay the bill in full
  • 00:13:22.027 --> 00:13:23.395
  • I'll pay the bill in full when i get back."
  • 00:13:23.462 --> 00:13:24.496
  • When i get back." that's mercy.
  • 00:13:24.563 --> 00:13:26.198
  • That's mercy. that's mercy.
  • 00:13:26.265 --> 00:13:28.400
  • That's mercy. do you have that?
  • 00:13:28.467 --> 00:13:30.803
  • Do you have that? the fact is the world
  • 00:13:30.870 --> 00:13:31.837
  • The fact is the world remembers the nameless samaritan
  • 00:13:31.904 --> 00:13:34.707
  • Remembers the nameless samaritan centuries later.
  • 00:13:34.773 --> 00:13:36.408
  • Centuries later. two thousand years later we're
  • 00:13:36.475 --> 00:13:37.810
  • Two thousand years later we're talking about this man.
  • 00:13:37.877 --> 00:13:38.844
  • Talking about this man. why?
  • 00:13:38.911 --> 00:13:39.445
  • Why? not because he was rich,
  • 00:13:39.511 --> 00:13:41.413
  • Not because he was rich, not because he was a genius,
  • 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:43.315
  • Not because he was a genius, not because he was a
  • 00:13:43.382 --> 00:13:44.216
  • Not because he was a great physician,
  • 00:13:44.283 --> 00:13:45.417
  • Great physician, but because he was merciful.
  • 00:13:45.484 --> 00:13:47.386
  • But because he was merciful. we remember him because he could
  • 00:13:47.453 --> 00:13:48.787
  • We remember him because he could not withhold his compassion
  • 00:13:48.854 --> 00:13:52.424
  • Not withhold his compassion from someone that was in need.
  • 00:13:52.491 --> 00:13:54.660
  • From someone that was in need. hear me,
  • 00:13:54.727 --> 00:13:56.095
  • Hear me, when you can withhold
  • 00:13:56.161 --> 00:13:57.096
  • When you can withhold your compassion
  • 00:13:57.162 --> 00:13:57.963
  • Your compassion from someone in need,
  • 00:13:58.030 --> 00:14:00.065
  • From someone in need, you have lost touch with god.
  • 00:14:00.132 --> 00:14:02.835
  • You have lost touch with god. you have the ability
  • 00:14:02.902 --> 00:14:04.069
  • You have the ability to meet that need,
  • 00:14:04.136 --> 00:14:05.371
  • To meet that need, you have lost touch with god.
  • 00:14:05.437 --> 00:14:07.506
  • You have lost touch with god. not religion, god.
  • 00:14:07.573 --> 00:14:09.575
  • Not religion, god. you have no mercy.
  • 00:14:09.642 --> 00:14:10.676
  • You have no mercy. happiness is
  • 00:14:10.743 --> 00:14:11.543
  • Happiness is an illusion for you.
  • 00:14:11.610 --> 00:14:13.779
  • An illusion for you. christ puts the levite
  • 00:14:13.846 --> 00:14:15.180
  • Christ puts the levite and the priest in
  • 00:14:15.247 --> 00:14:15.981
  • And the priest in the same company
  • 00:14:16.048 --> 00:14:16.782
  • The same company with the thieves.
  • 00:14:16.849 --> 00:14:17.616
  • With the thieves. why?
  • 00:14:17.683 --> 00:14:18.117
  • Why? because in an hour of need,
  • 00:14:18.183 --> 00:14:19.852
  • Because in an hour of need, they did nothing
  • 00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:21.487
  • They did nothing when they could
  • 00:14:21.553 --> 00:14:22.354
  • When they could have done something,
  • 00:14:22.421 --> 00:14:23.589
  • Have done something, when they had the ability
  • 00:14:23.656 --> 00:14:25.424
  • When they had the ability to do so.
  • 00:14:25.491 --> 00:14:26.325
  • To do so. god will never ask you to do
  • 00:14:26.392 --> 00:14:28.661
  • God will never ask you to do something for which you
  • 00:14:28.727 --> 00:14:29.662
  • Something for which you don't have the ability.
  • 00:14:29.728 --> 00:14:33.766
  • Don't have the ability. the merciful person
  • 00:14:33.832 --> 00:14:34.767
  • The merciful person is forgiving.
  • 00:14:34.833 --> 00:14:36.135
  • Is forgiving. they refuse to nurse a grudge.
  • 00:14:36.201 --> 00:14:39.305
  • They refuse to nurse a grudge. they fling hatred out
  • 00:14:39.371 --> 00:14:40.606
  • They fling hatred out of their soul like
  • 00:14:40.673 --> 00:14:41.840
  • Of their soul like it was a cancer.
  • 00:14:41.907 --> 00:14:43.075
  • It was a cancer. they bless those
  • 00:14:43.142 --> 00:14:44.143
  • They bless those who curse them.
  • 00:14:44.209 --> 00:14:45.311
  • Who curse them. they forgive seven
  • 00:14:45.377 --> 00:14:46.478
  • They forgive seven times seventy,
  • 00:14:46.545 --> 00:14:47.613
  • Times seventy, that's in the bible.
  • 00:14:47.680 --> 00:14:49.515
  • That's in the bible. you're to forgive seven time --
  • 00:14:49.581 --> 00:14:51.116
  • You're to forgive seven time -- peter wanted to know,
  • 00:14:51.183 --> 00:14:51.951
  • Peter wanted to know, "jesus, when can we stop
  • 00:14:52.017 --> 00:14:53.085
  • "jesus, when can we stop forgiving and turn
  • 00:14:53.152 --> 00:14:53.986
  • Forgiving and turn on the hate machine?"
  • 00:14:54.053 --> 00:14:56.388
  • On the hate machine?" jesus said,
  • 00:14:56.455 --> 00:14:57.056
  • Jesus said, "until you forgive
  • 00:14:57.122 --> 00:14:57.990
  • "until you forgive seven times seventy,
  • 00:14:58.057 --> 00:14:59.224
  • Seven times seventy, you haven't forgiven."
  • 00:14:59.291 --> 00:15:00.192
  • You haven't forgiven." you know that's 490 times.
  • 00:15:00.259 --> 00:15:03.228
  • You know that's 490 times. if you forgive
  • 00:15:03.295 --> 00:15:03.963
  • If you forgive someone 490 times,
  • 00:15:04.029 --> 00:15:05.864
  • Someone 490 times, it becomes a habit.
  • 00:15:05.931 --> 00:15:07.333
  • It becomes a habit. you lose count.
  • 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:09.735
  • You lose count. years ago,
  • 00:15:09.802 --> 00:15:10.502
  • Years ago, when i was speaking in colorado,
  • 00:15:10.569 --> 00:15:12.037

  • Of adolf coors iv. he was the coors beer founder.
  • 00:15:16.308 --> 00:15:19.244
  • He was the coors beer founder. i'm sure some of you are very
  • 00:15:19.311 --> 00:15:20.546
  • I'm sure some of you are very familiar with that name.
  • 00:15:20.612 --> 00:15:21.814
  • [laughter]

  • His son, adolf coors iv, then 15 years of age,
  • 00:15:38.630 --> 00:15:40.099
  • Then 15 years of age, lost not only his father
  • 00:15:40.165 --> 00:15:42.201
  • Lost not only his father but his best friend.
  • 00:15:42.267 --> 00:15:43.602
  • But his best friend. for years, young coors
  • 00:15:43.669 --> 00:15:45.170
  • For years, young coors hated joseph corbett,
  • 00:15:45.237 --> 00:15:46.672
  • Hated joseph corbett, the man who killed his father,
  • 00:15:46.739 --> 00:15:50.509

  • To life for the slaying of his father.
  • 00:15:53.712 --> 00:15:54.980
  • Of his father. then in 1975,

  • Then in 1975, coors became a christian.
  • 00:15:56.882 --> 00:15:58.317
  • Coors became a christian. while he divested himself
  • 00:15:58.384 --> 00:16:00.219
  • While he divested himself of the interest in
  • 00:16:00.285 --> 00:16:01.120
  • Of the interest in the family beer business,
  • 00:16:01.186 --> 00:16:02.588
  • The family beer business, he could not divest

  • 00:16:03.889 --> 00:16:05.524
  • Himself of the hatred that consumed his soul.
  • 00:16:05.591 --> 00:16:09.061
  • That consumed his soul. resentment seethed within
  • 00:16:09.128 --> 00:16:10.963
  • Resentment seethed within him and blighted
  • 00:16:11.030 --> 00:16:12.598
  • Him and blighted his growth in faith.
  • 00:16:12.664 --> 00:16:15.067
  • His growth in faith. that's his testimony.
  • 00:16:15.134 --> 00:16:16.769
  • That's his testimony. he prayed to god for help
  • 00:16:16.835 --> 00:16:18.170
  • He prayed to god for help because he realized how hatred
  • 00:16:18.237 --> 00:16:20.906
  • Because he realized how hatred for corbett was alienating him
  • 00:16:20.973 --> 00:16:25.310
  • For corbett was alienating him from god and other people.
  • 00:16:25.377 --> 00:16:28.313
  • From god and other people. the day came, however,

  • 00:21:49.634 --> 00:21:50.635
  • Tell him first. be sure to pour the oil of mercy
  • 00:21:50.702 --> 00:21:53.238
  • Be sure to pour the oil of mercy over his tormented soul."
  • 00:21:53.305 --> 00:21:55.941
  • Over his tormented soul." there's a physiological law,
  • 00:21:56.007 --> 00:21:57.743
  • There's a physiological law, the faults that you
  • 00:21:57.809 --> 00:21:59.144
  • The faults that you so aggressively condemn
  • 00:21:59.211 --> 00:22:00.679
  • So aggressively condemn in others are the very
  • 00:22:00.746 --> 00:22:02.013
  • In others are the very faults that haunt you.
  • 00:22:02.080 --> 00:22:04.583
  • Faults that haunt you. the next time you hear someone
  • 00:22:04.649 --> 00:22:06.218
  • The next time you hear someone tearing a brother or sister
  • 00:22:06.284 --> 00:22:08.053
  • Tearing a brother or sister in christ to shreds
  • 00:22:08.120 --> 00:22:10.155
  • In christ to shreds with their mouth,
  • 00:22:10.222 --> 00:22:11.823
  • With their mouth, listen to the faults
  • 00:22:11.890 --> 00:22:12.924
  • Listen to the faults they attack.
  • 00:22:12.991 --> 00:22:14.159
  • They attack. they are trying to expel
  • 00:22:14.226 --> 00:22:16.395
  • They are trying to expel their own demons.
  • 00:22:16.461 --> 00:22:22.167
  • Their own demons. one thing, this last thing
  • 00:22:22.234 --> 00:22:24.035
  • One thing, this last thing and i'll close.
  • 00:22:24.102 --> 00:22:25.070
  • And i'll close. sympathy is an emotion
  • 00:22:25.137 --> 00:22:27.339
  • Sympathy is an emotion sometimes followed by tears.
  • 00:22:27.406 --> 00:22:30.075
  • Sometimes followed by tears. there are those who weep easily.
  • 00:22:30.142 --> 00:22:33.645
  • There are those who weep easily. their tears are meaningless
  • 00:22:33.712 --> 00:22:36.248
  • Their tears are meaningless and without worth.
  • 00:22:36.314 --> 00:22:38.183
  • And without worth. it's alright to weep if
  • 00:22:38.250 --> 00:22:40.685
  • It's alright to weep if you're willing to take action,
  • 00:22:40.752 --> 00:22:43.588
  • You're willing to take action, but if you're not willing
  • 00:22:43.655 --> 00:22:44.990
  • But if you're not willing to take action,
  • 00:22:45.056 --> 00:22:46.258
  • To take action, dry it up.
  • 00:22:46.324 --> 00:22:49.027
  • Dry it up. jesus wept but he did
  • 00:22:49.094 --> 00:22:51.496
  • Jesus wept but he did far more than weep,
  • 00:22:51.563 --> 00:22:53.498
  • Far more than weep, he took action.
  • 00:22:53.565 --> 00:22:55.200
  • He took action. he went to the cross
  • 00:22:55.267 --> 00:22:56.835
  • He went to the cross and died for my sin
  • 00:22:56.902 --> 00:22:59.037
  • And died for my sin and for your sin.
  • 00:22:59.104 --> 00:23:01.339
  • And for your sin. mercy takes action.
  • 00:23:01.406 --> 00:23:03.175
  • Mercy takes action. if your brother has
  • 00:23:03.241 --> 00:23:04.409
  • If your brother has a need of $100
  • 00:23:04.476 --> 00:23:07.846
  • A need of $100 and you have $200
  • 00:23:07.913 --> 00:23:09.681
  • And you have $200 in your pocket,
  • 00:23:09.748 --> 00:23:10.649
  • In your pocket, don't pray about his need,
  • 00:23:10.715 --> 00:23:12.417
  • Don't pray about his need, you tight wad.
  • 00:23:12.484 --> 00:23:13.385
  • You tight wad. give him one
  • 00:23:13.452 --> 00:23:14.052
  • Give him one of those $100 bills.
  • 00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:14.920
  • [applause]
  • 00:23:15.487 --> 00:23:22.761
  • There are people who would say,
  • 00:23:24.429 --> 00:23:25.263
  • There are people who would say, "well, we should pray about it."
  • 00:23:25.330 --> 00:23:26.765
  • "well, we should pray about it." no.
  • 00:23:26.832 --> 00:23:27.399
  • [laughter]
  • 00:23:27.766 --> 00:23:29.201
  • You don't have to pray
  • 00:23:29.668 --> 00:23:30.235
  • You don't have to pray about being merciful.
  • 00:23:30.302 --> 00:23:32.604
  • About being merciful. jesus has been merciful to you;
  • 00:23:32.671 --> 00:23:35.407
  • Jesus has been merciful to you; you can be merciful to others.
  • 00:23:35.474 --> 00:23:37.709
  • You can be merciful to others. can we please stand to our feet?
  • 00:23:37.776 --> 00:23:41.680
  • Can we please stand to our feet? my question to you here
  • 00:23:41.746 --> 00:23:43.615
  • My question to you here and those of you watching
  • 00:23:43.682 --> 00:23:44.616
  • And those of you watching by television,
  • 00:23:44.683 --> 00:23:47.519

  • You do not have happiness in your family,
  • 00:23:48.954 --> 00:23:49.888

  • In your life, in a relationship with god.

  • In a relationship with god. you do not show mercy
  • 00:23:56.962 --> 00:23:58.396
  • You do not show mercy to other people.
  • 00:23:58.463 --> 00:24:01.266
  • To other people. you do not look for ways
  • 00:24:01.333 --> 00:24:02.634
  • You do not look for ways to restore the fallen,
  • 00:24:02.701 --> 00:24:04.069
  • To restore the fallen, to help brothers and sisters
  • 00:24:04.135 --> 00:24:06.171
  • To help brothers and sisters in the body of christ
  • 00:24:06.238 --> 00:24:07.772
  • In the body of christ in the time of need.
  • 00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:10.609
  • In the time of need. you do not look
  • 00:24:10.675 --> 00:24:11.276
  • You do not look for another perspective
  • 00:24:11.343 --> 00:24:13.178
  • For another perspective before criticizing
  • 00:24:13.245 --> 00:24:14.513
  • Before criticizing their behavior.
  • 00:24:14.579 --> 00:24:16.414
  • Their behavior. maybe there's someone
  • 00:24:16.481 --> 00:24:17.349
  • Maybe there's someone in your life that you
  • 00:24:17.415 --> 00:24:19.251
  • In your life that you need to forgive today.
  • 00:24:19.317 --> 00:24:20.619

  • There's a tormenting memory that can be healed only
  • 00:24:28.493 --> 00:24:30.362
  • That can be healed only by the grace
  • 00:24:30.428 --> 00:24:31.029
  • By the grace of god in your life.
  • 00:24:31.096 --> 00:24:34.533
  • Of god in your life. you can't imagine how happy

  • You can't imagine how happy you can be when you rip all
  • 00:24:36.568 --> 00:24:39.404
  • You can be when you rip all of that poison out
  • 00:24:39.471 --> 00:24:41.072
