Harvest with Pastor Greg Laurie | Greg Laurie - The Power of Forgiveness | February 27, 2026
  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.333
  • Greg laurie: maybe you too have been persecuted and attacked
  • 00:00:05.037 --> 00:00:08.207
  • Wrongfully by someone.
  • 00:00:08.340 --> 00:00:10.042
  • Maybe you have an enemy that has tried to do you harm.
  • 00:00:10.175 --> 00:00:13.779
  • Maybe you've been hurt or offended,
  • 00:00:13.912 --> 00:00:16.181
  • And you've been treated badly.
  • 00:00:16.315 --> 00:00:17.716
  • And in light of all this, let me ask you this question:
  • 00:00:17.850 --> 00:00:18.851
  • Would you like to go to that
  • 00:00:20.586 --> 00:00:22.187
  • Person and help them and bless them?
  • 00:00:22.187 --> 00:00:25.991
  • ♪ this is the day, the day when life begins. ♪
  • 00:00:29.328 --> 00:00:37.202
  • ♪ this is the day, the day when life begins ♪
  • 00:00:37.202 --> 00:00:45.844
  • Greg: so i heard the story of a little girl that got a piece of
  • 00:00:50.082 --> 00:00:52.484
  • Paper and her crayons, and her mom said, "honey, what are you
  • 00:00:52.484 --> 00:00:56.055
  • Going to draw?"
  • 00:00:56.055 --> 00:00:57.389
  • She said, "mom, i'm gonna draw a picture of god."
  • 00:00:57.389 --> 00:01:00.492
  • The mom said "sweetie, nobody knows what god looks like."
  • 00:01:00.492 --> 00:01:03.729
  • The little girl shot back, "they will when i'm done."
  • 00:01:03.729 --> 00:01:07.833
  • What is god like?
  • 00:01:07.833 --> 00:01:09.501
  • Is god a smiling god?
  • 00:01:09.501 --> 00:01:10.969
  • Is he a frowning god?
  • 00:01:10.969 --> 00:01:13.272
  • Is he a god who approves of us, or is he a god that does not
  • 00:01:13.272 --> 00:01:17.643
  • Approve of us?
  • 00:01:17.643 --> 00:01:19.378
  • We wonder.
  • 00:01:19.378 --> 00:01:20.712
  • You know, it's interesting that the bible compares god to
  • 00:01:20.712 --> 00:01:23.615
  • A father.
  • 00:01:23.615 --> 00:01:24.950
  • He's referred to father many times.
  • 00:01:24.950 --> 00:01:26.852
  • Now, i don't know what kind of dad you have or what kind of dad
  • 00:01:26.852 --> 00:01:31.123
  • You had.
  • 00:01:31.123 --> 00:01:32.458
  • Maybe your father was hands on, affectionate, affirming,
  • 00:01:32.458 --> 00:01:36.829
  • Encouraging, loving.
  • 00:01:36.829 --> 00:01:39.198
  • Maybe your dad was a bit aloof, a bit distant, perhaps not that
  • 00:01:39.198 --> 00:01:44.169
  • Communicative, even worse, maybe your dad was harsh and maybe you
  • 00:01:44.169 --> 00:01:50.542
  • Never had a dad at all growing up that would be more
  • 00:01:50.542 --> 00:01:53.045
  • My situation.
  • 00:01:53.045 --> 00:01:54.413
  • So we can sometimes take our earthly father, and then view
  • 00:01:54.413 --> 00:01:58.550
  • God, our heavenly father, in the same way.
  • 00:01:58.550 --> 00:02:00.686
  • If we had a good dad, that's not a bad thing, but here's
  • 00:02:00.686 --> 00:02:03.021
  • The deal.
  • 00:02:03.021 --> 00:02:04.356
  • You have to evaluate god based on what he reveals about himself
  • 00:02:04.356 --> 00:02:08.560
  • In the bible, okay?
  • 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:10.796
  • And one of the most beautiful pictures of god in the bible is
  • 00:02:10.796 --> 00:02:13.899
  • A story that jesus told to show us what god is like.
  • 00:02:13.899 --> 00:02:18.837
  • It's a selfie of god, if you will.
  • 00:02:18.837 --> 00:02:21.440
  • And jesus compared god to a father who had two sons, and one
  • 00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:27.412
  • Of those sons went astray and drugged the family name to the
  • 00:02:27.412 --> 00:02:31.416
  • Gutter and did all sorts of horrible sinful things, but one
  • 00:02:31.416 --> 00:02:35.420
  • Day came to his senses and decided to return home and the
  • 00:02:35.420 --> 00:02:39.024
  • Father, as portrayed by jesus, sees his son coming at
  • 00:02:39.024 --> 00:02:43.228
  • A distance and runs to meet him and throws his arms around him,
  • 00:02:43.228 --> 00:02:47.533
  • Hugs him and kisses him and says, "this my son who was dead,
  • 00:02:47.533 --> 00:02:51.403
  • Is alive again."
  • 00:02:51.403 --> 00:02:52.771
  • So, what is god like according to jesus, and by the way,
  • 00:02:52.771 --> 00:02:55.807
  • There's no better source.
  • 00:02:55.807 --> 00:02:57.910
  • What is god like according to jesus, god is like a father who
  • 00:02:57.910 --> 00:03:01.747
  • Loves us and misses us when we are gone.
  • 00:03:01.747 --> 00:03:05.384
  • God is like a father who will forgive us no matter what sins
  • 00:03:05.384 --> 00:03:09.755
  • We have committed if we repent and return to him.
  • 00:03:09.755 --> 00:03:13.892
  • Now we go to the old testament, we have another beautiful
  • 00:03:13.892 --> 00:03:16.628
  • Picture of god presented to us through the story in the life of
  • 00:03:16.628 --> 00:03:21.800
  • King david.
  • 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:23.335
  • It's a story of how david treated another person and it
  • 00:03:23.335 --> 00:03:28.473
  • Shows us the love of god.
  • 00:03:28.473 --> 00:03:30.676
  • David's such an interesting character, isn't he?
  • 00:03:30.676 --> 00:03:33.378
  • Very complex, some contradictions in his character,
  • 00:03:33.378 --> 00:03:38.183
  • He was warrior, he was a worshiper, he was a fighter, he
  • 00:03:38.183 --> 00:03:42.621
  • Was a lover, he was brave and fearless, he could be humble and
  • 00:03:42.621 --> 00:03:46.825
  • Sweet, he could also be vengeful, petty, immoral, and
  • 00:03:46.825 --> 00:03:51.663
  • Outright disobedient.
  • 00:03:51.663 --> 00:03:54.166
  • I think of the statement made by winston churchill about russia,
  • 00:03:54.166 --> 00:03:59.104
  • And he made this to me personally.
  • 00:03:59.104 --> 00:04:02.174
  • That's how old i am.
  • 00:04:02.174 --> 00:04:03.642
  • No, it's not true, but churchill said this about russia, "it's
  • 00:04:03.642 --> 00:04:07.846
  • A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma."
  • 00:04:07.846 --> 00:04:12.184
  • I think you could take that same description and apply it
  • 00:04:12.184 --> 00:04:14.620
  • To david.
  • 00:04:14.620 --> 00:04:15.954
  • David was a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.
  • 00:04:15.954 --> 00:04:19.992
  • Hard to figure out, but yet at the same time he is uniquely
  • 00:04:19.992 --> 00:04:23.228
  • Described as the man after god's own heart, and there are 66
  • 00:04:23.228 --> 00:04:29.534
  • Chapters in the bible dedicated to the adventures,
  • 00:04:29.534 --> 00:04:33.305
  • Misadventures, triumphs, and defeats of the shepherd boy who
  • 00:04:33.305 --> 00:04:38.543
  • Became a king david, and he became the greatest of
  • 00:04:38.543 --> 00:04:42.147
  • All kings.
  • 00:04:42.147 --> 00:04:43.515
  • And it just reminds us that god uses flawed people.
  • 00:04:43.515 --> 00:04:46.785
  • Why is that so hard for us to understand?
  • 00:04:46.785 --> 00:04:49.154
  • God can draw a straight line with a crooked stick.
  • 00:04:49.154 --> 00:04:52.791
  • And if you look at the people that god used, it almost seems
  • 00:04:52.791 --> 00:04:55.794
  • As though he went out of his way to find flawed people, ordinary
  • 00:04:55.794 --> 00:05:00.666
  • People, people that fell short, and i think that's a very
  • 00:05:00.666 --> 00:05:04.336
  • Important thing for us to remember, but the people of
  • 00:05:04.336 --> 00:05:08.407
  • Israel had david become their king.
  • 00:05:08.407 --> 00:05:11.643
  • Now, how this happened is very interesting because god really
  • 00:05:11.643 --> 00:05:15.847
  • Did not want to give them a king.
  • 00:05:15.847 --> 00:05:18.917
  • He wanted to rule them through the prophets and in this case
  • 00:05:18.917 --> 00:05:22.654
  • Samuel was the man.
  • 00:05:22.654 --> 00:05:24.189
  • God gave the word to samuel.
  • 00:05:24.189 --> 00:05:26.224
  • He told him what to do, but the israelites wanted a king.
  • 00:05:26.224 --> 00:05:30.095
  • Why?
  • 00:05:30.095 --> 00:05:31.430
  • Because all the other nations had a king.
  • 00:05:31.430 --> 00:05:32.764
  • It reminds you of kids saying, "everybody else has a cell phone
  • 00:05:32.764 --> 00:05:35.600
  • Why i can't i have a cell phone?"
  • 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:38.003
  • Because you're 2-years-old.
  • 00:05:38.003 --> 00:05:39.338
  • I just--how did you even string those sentences together?
  • 00:05:39.338 --> 00:05:42.607
  • But and so they're the same way, we want a king.
  • 00:05:42.607 --> 00:05:45.510
  • Everybody else has a king, why can't we have a king?
  • 00:05:45.510 --> 00:05:48.146
  • "all right," the lord says, "i'll give you a king."
  • 00:05:48.146 --> 00:05:51.383
  • Careful what you wish for, you might get it.
  • 00:05:51.383 --> 00:05:54.686
  • So god gave them a king right out of central casting, saul.
  • 00:05:54.686 --> 00:05:59.725
  • Saul was charismatic.
  • 00:05:59.725 --> 00:06:01.626
  • He was good looking.
  • 00:06:01.626 --> 00:06:02.994
  • He was a little taller than everybody else.
  • 00:06:02.994 --> 00:06:05.464
  • The kind of guy that would stand out in a crowd, that's the man.
  • 00:06:05.464 --> 00:06:09.134
  • He looks like a king.
  • 00:06:09.134 --> 00:06:10.936
  • And he was a good king for a period of time, but then he
  • 00:06:10.936 --> 00:06:15.107
  • Began to disobey and then he began to go the wrong direction
  • 00:06:15.107 --> 00:06:19.378
  • So the lord said, "i'm gonna raise up another king."
  • 00:06:19.378 --> 00:06:22.347
  • You know the story.
  • 00:06:22.347 --> 00:06:24.182
  • The prophet samuel went to the town of bethlehem to the house
  • 00:06:24.182 --> 00:06:27.386
  • Of jesse as instructed by the lord, and there he anointed
  • 00:06:27.386 --> 00:06:32.090
  • David to be the king.
  • 00:06:32.090 --> 00:06:33.458
  • Now, you would think he just went straight to the palace, but
  • 00:06:33.458 --> 00:06:36.495
  • That didn't happen at all.
  • 00:06:36.495 --> 00:06:38.530
  • David spent 15 years going through a lot of trials and
  • 00:06:38.530 --> 00:06:43.135
  • Tribulations before he actually ascended to the throne, but he
  • 00:06:43.135 --> 00:06:48.707
  • Never lost his heart for god.
  • 00:06:48.707 --> 00:06:51.877
  • So fast forward down the story, david becomes close friends with
  • 00:06:51.877 --> 00:06:55.614
  • Prince jonathan and so they formed a friendship.
  • 00:06:55.614 --> 00:06:59.418
  • David and jonathan were as tight as two people could be.
  • 00:06:59.418 --> 00:07:04.823
  • And so jonathan knew what was coming.
  • 00:07:04.823 --> 00:07:07.292
  • He knew that he was not going to ascend to the throne even though
  • 00:07:07.292 --> 00:07:10.228
  • He was the son of the king, even though he was the prince, he
  • 00:07:10.228 --> 00:07:13.765
  • Knew david was god's man.
  • 00:07:13.765 --> 00:07:16.034
  • And so he got david to make a commitment to him.
  • 00:07:16.034 --> 00:07:19.004
  • And that commitment was, "david, when you finally become king,
  • 00:07:19.004 --> 00:07:22.607
  • I want you to remember my family and my kin," and david agreed
  • 00:07:22.607 --> 00:07:26.845
  • To this.
  • 00:07:26.845 --> 00:07:28.213
  • Tragically, saul and jonathan were killed on the battlefield.
  • 00:07:28.213 --> 00:07:34.219
  • And so this is where our story begins.
  • 00:07:34.219 --> 00:07:36.621
  • We come to 2 samuel chapter 1.
  • 00:07:36.621 --> 00:07:39.624
  • Now, you're thinking, wait, i thought
  • 00:07:39.624 --> 00:07:41.259
  • This was a study on the psalms of david.
  • 00:07:41.259 --> 00:07:44.129
  • Well, it is.
  • 00:07:44.129 --> 00:07:45.497
  • But this particular psalm of david is not in psalms, but it's
  • 00:07:45.497 --> 00:07:49.534
  • In 2 samuel, but it's a psalm.
  • 00:07:49.534 --> 00:07:53.038
  • It's exactly the same structure as you find in the other psalms
  • 00:07:53.038 --> 00:07:57.075
  • Of david.
  • 00:07:57.075 --> 00:07:58.410
  • And this is what he wrote to commemorate saul and jonathan.
  • 00:07:58.410 --> 00:08:03.114
  • So 2 samuel 1:23, david writes, "how beloved and gracious were
  • 00:08:03.114 --> 00:08:08.587
  • Saul and jonathan!
  • 00:08:08.587 --> 00:08:11.423
  • They were together in life and in death.
  • 00:08:11.423 --> 00:08:14.092
  • And they were swifter than eagles, and stronger than lions.
  • 00:08:14.092 --> 00:08:17.662
  • O women of israel, weep for saul, for he dressed you in
  • 00:08:17.662 --> 00:08:20.966
  • Luxurious scarlet clothing, in garments decorated with gold.
  • 00:08:20.966 --> 00:08:25.270
  • Oh, how the mighty heroes have fallen in battle!
  • 00:08:25.270 --> 00:08:29.474
  • How i weep for you, my brother jonathan!
  • 00:08:29.474 --> 00:08:31.810
  • Oh, how much i loved you!
  • 00:08:31.810 --> 00:08:33.378
  • And your love for me was deep, deeper than the love of women!
  • 00:08:33.378 --> 00:08:37.115
  • Oh, how the mighty heroes have fallen!
  • 00:08:37.115 --> 00:08:39.784
  • Stripped of their weapons, they lie dead."
  • 00:08:39.784 --> 00:08:42.621
  • We'll stop there.
  • 00:08:42.621 --> 00:08:43.955
  • Well, a lot of grace in this psalm.
  • 00:08:43.955 --> 00:08:46.191
  • I'm not surprised that david honors his buddy jonathan.
  • 00:08:46.191 --> 00:08:51.029
  • Jonathan was a really heroic guy, full of courage, fearless,
  • 00:08:51.029 --> 00:08:57.969
  • And loyal to david and loyal to god and even loyal to his father
  • 00:08:57.969 --> 00:09:02.541
  • And his father mistreated him as well, not just david.
  • 00:09:02.541 --> 00:09:06.511
  • So of course, it makes sense that david would say jonathan
  • 00:09:06.511 --> 00:09:10.115
  • Was a hero but he includes saul.
  • 00:09:10.115 --> 00:09:12.717
  • And i think this is an amazing thing that shows us a little
  • 00:09:12.717 --> 00:09:16.221
  • Insight into the character of david and why god called him
  • 00:09:16.221 --> 00:09:19.824
  • "a man after his own heart," because david did not remember
  • 00:09:19.824 --> 00:09:23.595
  • The sins of saul.
  • 00:09:23.595 --> 00:09:24.930
  • Saul had made david's life a living hell for many,
  • 00:09:24.930 --> 00:09:28.800
  • Many years.
  • 00:09:28.800 --> 00:09:30.135
  • David hid in caves, he ran, he could have killed saul easily,
  • 00:09:30.135 --> 00:09:34.339
  • At least on one occasion, if not more, yet he never did that, and
  • 00:09:34.339 --> 00:09:38.443
  • Yet he honors saul.
  • 00:09:38.443 --> 00:09:40.045
  • And it's a good reminder that we too should not hold people's
  • 00:09:40.045 --> 00:09:44.516
  • Sins and shortcomings against them.
  • 00:09:44.516 --> 00:09:47.652
  • And now we see him take it a step further as he extends grace
  • 00:09:47.652 --> 00:09:51.923
  • To a potential threat to his throne and that grace would be
  • 00:09:51.923 --> 00:09:57.662
  • Extended to the rightful heir of that throne, the son of
  • 00:09:57.662 --> 00:10:01.933
  • Jonathan, the next in line to become king, but david does not
  • 00:10:01.933 --> 00:10:07.939
  • Wanna punish him or kill him, he wants to show grace to him and
  • 00:10:07.939 --> 00:10:13.211
  • That's exactly what he did.
  • 00:10:13.211 --> 00:10:16.448
  • And he was willing to forgive his enemies.
  • 00:10:16.448 --> 00:10:19.484
  • And in this way, he reflects jesus as jesus would forgive
  • 00:10:19.484 --> 00:10:24.889
  • His enemies.
  • 00:10:24.889 --> 00:10:26.224
  • What did christ say from the cross?
  • 00:10:26.224 --> 00:10:27.726
  • His first words, first statement out of seven: "father, forgive
  • 00:10:27.726 --> 00:10:32.263
  • Them for they know not what they do."
  • 00:10:32.263 --> 00:10:35.166
  • And we see david reflecting that david who is of course, the one
  • 00:10:35.166 --> 00:10:40.372
  • That would be in the messianic line to the son of david, the
  • 00:10:40.372 --> 00:10:44.676
  • Lord jesus christ, reflects this in the way he treated
  • 00:10:44.676 --> 00:10:49.180
  • His enemies.
  • 00:10:49.180 --> 00:10:51.082
  • Maybe you too have been persecuted and attacked
  • 00:10:51.082 --> 00:10:54.753
  • Wrongfully by someone.
  • 00:10:54.753 --> 00:10:56.621
  • Maybe you have an enemy that has tried to do you harm.
  • 00:10:56.621 --> 00:10:59.924
  • Maybe you've been hurt or offended and you've been treated
  • 00:10:59.924 --> 00:11:03.294
  • Badly, and in light of all this, let me ask you this question,
  • 00:11:03.294 --> 00:11:06.564
  • Would you like to go to that person and help them and
  • 00:11:06.564 --> 00:11:10.769
  • Bless them?
  • 00:11:10.769 --> 00:11:12.137
  • Probably not.
  • 00:11:12.137 --> 00:11:13.471
  • You would like them to get a taste of their own medicine.
  • 00:11:13.471 --> 00:11:16.908
  • Well, that's not how david felt.
  • 00:11:16.908 --> 00:11:19.144
  • And he remembered his promise to jonathan and to his descendants
  • 00:11:19.144 --> 00:11:23.882
  • That he would show mercy to them.
  • 00:11:23.882 --> 00:11:26.051
  • So let's go over now to 2 samuel chapter 9 and let's see what
  • 00:11:26.051 --> 00:11:30.255
  • Happened next.
  • 00:11:30.255 --> 00:11:31.623
  • Because as we go to 2 samuel 9, we see david going to a man
  • 00:11:31.623 --> 00:11:36.761
  • Named ziba, and ziba was a servant of king saul.
  • 00:11:36.761 --> 00:11:41.599
  • So david wanted to find out if there's any descendants of saul
  • 00:11:41.599 --> 00:11:46.938
  • And or jonathan left.
  • 00:11:46.938 --> 00:11:49.007
  • So we pick it up in verse 2, 2 samuel 9.
  • 00:11:49.007 --> 00:11:53.278
  • David says, "are you ziba?
  • 00:11:53.278 --> 00:11:55.280
  • 'yes sir, i am,' ziba replied.
  • 00:11:55.280 --> 00:11:58.516
  • And the king asked him, 'is anyone still alive from
  • 00:11:58.516 --> 00:12:00.885
  • Saul's family?
  • 00:12:00.885 --> 00:12:02.253
  • If so, i wanna show god's goodness to them in any way
  • 00:12:02.253 --> 00:12:05.623
  • I can.'
  • 00:12:05.623 --> 00:12:07.125
  • Ziba replied, 'yes, one of jonathan's son is still alive,
  • 00:12:07.125 --> 00:12:10.395
  • But he is crippled.'
  • 00:12:10.395 --> 00:12:11.896
  • 'oh, where is he?'
  • 00:12:11.896 --> 00:12:13.264
  • The king asked, 'in lo-debar at the home of makar, son
  • 00:12:13.264 --> 00:12:16.568
  • Of ammiel.'
  • 00:12:16.568 --> 00:12:18.303
  • So david sent for him and brought him from makar's home.
  • 00:12:18.303 --> 00:12:21.673
  • His name was mephibosheth, he was jonathan's son and
  • 00:12:21.673 --> 00:12:25.243
  • Saul's grandson.
  • 00:12:25.243 --> 00:12:26.978
  • When he came to david, he bowed low in great fear and said,
  • 00:12:26.978 --> 00:12:30.281
  • "i am your servant."
  • 00:12:30.281 --> 00:12:31.649
  • David said, 'don't be afraid.
  • 00:12:31.649 --> 00:12:33.218
  • I've asked you to come, and i want to be kind to you because
  • 00:12:33.218 --> 00:12:36.821
  • Of my vow to your father, jonathan, and i will give you
  • 00:12:36.821 --> 00:12:39.824
  • All the land that once belonged to your grandfather saul, that
  • 00:12:39.824 --> 00:12:43.161
  • You may live here with me and the palace.
  • 00:12:43.161 --> 00:12:45.964
  • Mephibosheth fell to the ground before the king.
  • 00:12:45.964 --> 00:12:49.467
  • 'should the king show such kindness to a dead dog like me?'
  • 00:12:49.467 --> 00:12:54.706
  • Mephibosheth ate regularly with david as though he was one of
  • 00:12:54.706 --> 00:12:59.677
  • His own sons."
  • 00:12:59.677 --> 00:13:01.212
  • We'll stop there.
  • 00:13:01.212 --> 00:13:02.614
  • Ain't that a great story?
  • 00:13:02.614 --> 00:13:03.948
  • What grace david showed to this young man.
  • 00:13:03.948 --> 00:13:06.684
  • I mean, here is david, the crowned king of israel, and one
  • 00:13:06.684 --> 00:13:10.955
  • Would normally want to eliminate any potential rivals to your
  • 00:13:10.955 --> 00:13:17.929
  • Rule and yet he wants to show grace.
  • 00:13:17.929 --> 00:13:21.232
  • I love that he used the word "grace".
  • 00:13:21.232 --> 00:13:24.169
  • Grace is god's unmerited favor.
  • 00:13:24.169 --> 00:13:27.572
  • There's nothing you can do to deserve the grace of god.
  • 00:13:27.572 --> 00:13:30.942
  • It's undeserved, it's unearned, it's unrepayable.
  • 00:13:30.942 --> 00:13:35.713
  • That's why the bible says, "for by grace you have been saved
  • 00:13:35.713 --> 00:13:39.150
  • Through faith, not of works lest any man should boast."
  • 00:13:39.150 --> 00:13:43.988
  • Listen to this, "justice is getting what i deserve.
  • 00:13:43.988 --> 00:13:48.660
  • Mercy is not getting what i deserve.
  • 00:13:48.660 --> 00:13:52.230
  • Grace is getting what i don't deserve."
  • 00:13:52.230 --> 00:13:54.666
  • Let me say it again.
  • 00:13:54.666 --> 00:13:56.034
  • Justice is getting what i deserve.
  • 00:13:56.034 --> 00:13:57.669
  • Don't ever say to god, "lord, deal with me justly.
  • 00:13:57.669 --> 00:14:01.039
  • Give me what i deserve."
  • 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:02.740
  • Don't pray that.
  • 00:14:02.740 --> 00:14:05.543
  • Because you deserve judgment as i do.
  • 00:14:05.543 --> 00:14:09.080
  • You can say, "lord, show mercy to me and extend your grace
  • 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:12.917
  • Toward me."
  • 00:14:12.917 --> 00:14:14.285
  • Let me illustrate.
  • 00:14:14.285 --> 00:14:15.620
  • Let's say that we went out on a harley ride and i loaned you my
  • 00:14:15.620 --> 00:14:17.956
  • Harley, and you totaled it.
  • 00:14:17.956 --> 00:14:20.692
  • Okay, if i dealt with you in justice, i would say, "you need
  • 00:14:20.692 --> 00:14:23.528
  • To get me a new harley."
  • 00:14:23.528 --> 00:14:25.396
  • If i dealt with you in mercy, i would say, "okay, you don't have
  • 00:14:25.396 --> 00:14:29.434
  • To get me a new harley."
  • 00:14:29.434 --> 00:14:30.802
  • If i dealt with you in grace, i would buy you a new
  • 00:14:30.802 --> 00:14:33.438
  • Harley, right?
  • 00:14:33.438 --> 00:14:35.473
  • So god extends grace to us, and david was extending this grace
  • 00:14:35.473 --> 00:14:39.577
  • Or unconditional love to whoever he could find from the household
  • 00:14:39.577 --> 00:14:44.082
  • Of saul and jonathan.
  • 00:14:44.082 --> 00:14:46.084
  • So a man named ziba, a servant of saul mentions mephibosheth.
  • 00:14:46.084 --> 00:14:51.089
  • And notice what he says.
  • 00:14:51.089 --> 00:14:52.557
  • "yes, there's someone named mephibosheth, and he
  • 00:14:52.557 --> 00:14:55.393
  • Is crippled."
  • 00:14:55.393 --> 00:14:56.761
  • Well, so?
  • 00:14:56.761 --> 00:14:58.296
  • What's that all about?
  • 00:14:58.296 --> 00:15:00.331
  • What a thing to say and what a creep this guy was too.
  • 00:15:00.331 --> 00:15:04.035
  • Don't ever name your kid ziba.
  • 00:15:04.035 --> 00:15:06.571
  • You know, i know there's--we like to use bible names to name
  • 00:15:06.571 --> 00:15:09.374
  • Our kids, fine, just some names are not good.
  • 00:15:09.374 --> 00:15:12.477
  • You know, joshua, great; jonathan, fine; david, really
  • 00:15:12.477 --> 00:15:16.481
  • Good; ziba, no.
  • 00:15:16.481 --> 00:15:18.549
  • No delilahs.
  • 00:15:18.549 --> 00:15:20.718
  • No, beelzebubs.
  • 00:15:20.718 --> 00:15:23.187
  • Don't name your child judas, no.
  • 00:15:23.187 --> 00:15:25.723
  • I know they're bible names.
  • 00:15:25.723 --> 00:15:27.058
  • They're not good ones.
  • 00:15:27.058 --> 00:15:28.893
  • Ziba was a creep.
  • 00:15:28.893 --> 00:15:31.362
  • So here's old mephibosheth and it's just a picture of what god
  • 00:15:31.362 --> 00:15:34.832
  • Is like.
  • 00:15:34.832 --> 00:15:36.200
  • I don't know how he viewed david.
  • 00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:38.603
  • But i imagine he'd been filled with some bad information about
  • 00:15:38.603 --> 00:15:42.473
  • The new king.
  • 00:15:42.473 --> 00:15:43.841
  • People would say, "oh, david, he's bad.
  • 00:15:43.841 --> 00:15:46.644
  • You should have been the king mephibosheth, not this david."
  • 00:15:46.644 --> 00:15:51.015
  • But then when he met david, it was a whole new story, but he
  • 00:15:51.015 --> 00:15:55.053
  • Was afraid initially.
  • 00:15:55.053 --> 00:15:56.554
  • 2 samuel 9:6 says, "when he heard david wanted to see him,
  • 00:15:56.554 --> 00:15:59.724
  • He was afraid."
  • 00:15:59.724 --> 00:16:01.759
  • And there's a lot of people today that are afraid of god.
  • 00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:05.129
  • They don't understand that god loves us.
  • 00:16:05.129 --> 00:16:06.664
  • The bible says, "it's the kindness of god that brings us
  • 00:16:06.664 --> 00:16:10.068
  • To repentance."
  • 00:16:10.068 --> 00:16:11.869
  • And they need to find out for themselves and discover for
  • 00:16:11.869 --> 00:16:15.840
  • Themselves who the lord really is.
  • 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.310
  • You know, i think one of the problems that we have today is
  • 00:16:19.310 --> 00:16:22.213
  • People will see hypocrisy in the church, and yes, there is
  • 00:16:22.213 --> 00:16:25.950
  • Hypocrisy in the church.
  • 00:16:25.950 --> 00:16:28.052
  • And you might say, "well, i'm looking for a hypocrite free
  • 00:16:28.052 --> 00:16:30.588
  • Church, and then i'll join it."
  • 00:16:30.588 --> 00:16:32.824
  • Please don't because you'll ruin it.
  • 00:16:32.824 --> 00:16:36.160
  • There are hypocrites in the church, but i want you to
  • 00:16:36.160 --> 00:16:38.496
  • Consider something.
  • 00:16:38.496 --> 00:16:39.831
  • Let's define hypocrisy for a moment biblically.
  • 00:16:39.831 --> 00:16:43.468
  • The word hypocrisy means to act.
  • 00:16:43.468 --> 00:16:45.703
  • That's a technical definition, an actor.
  • 00:16:45.703 --> 00:16:48.506
  • Every one of us has moments of hypocrisy, especially you, sir.
  • 00:16:48.506 --> 00:16:52.543
  • [congregation laughing]
  • 00:16:52.543 --> 00:16:54.445
  • All of us do.
  • 00:16:54.445 --> 00:16:55.880
  • You were scowling at me and i saw that and i wanted to, no you
  • 00:16:55.880 --> 00:16:58.850
  • Weren't, i'm just kidding.
  • 00:16:58.850 --> 00:17:00.218
  • We all have moments of hypocrisy.
  • 00:17:00.218 --> 00:17:02.420
  • Come on, we do.
  • 00:17:02.420 --> 00:17:03.921
  • I shouldn't have said that.
  • 00:17:03.921 --> 00:17:05.256
  • I shouldn't have done that.
  • 00:17:05.256 --> 00:17:06.624
  • I regret that, yes.
  • 00:17:06.624 --> 00:17:08.359
  • But when you say, "i shouldn't have said that, i shouldn't have
  • 00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:10.495
  • Done that, i'm sorry," you're not a hypocrite, you had
  • 00:17:10.495 --> 00:17:13.831
  • A hypocritical moment.
  • 00:17:13.831 --> 00:17:17.135
  • Having that is not a bad thing.
  • 00:17:17.135 --> 00:17:19.370
  • That's human.
  • 00:17:19.370 --> 00:17:20.838
  • That's what we're going to do.
  • 00:17:20.838 --> 00:17:22.173
  • I'm not excusing it, i'm just explaining it.
  • 00:17:22.173 --> 00:17:25.109
  • But there's a difference between someone who has moments of
  • 00:17:25.109 --> 00:17:27.912
  • Hypocrisy and someone that is putting on an act from beginning
  • 00:17:27.912 --> 00:17:32.016
  • To end.
  • 00:17:32.016 --> 00:17:33.351
  • None of it's real.
  • 00:17:33.351 --> 00:17:34.719
  • Jesus told a parable about the tares and the wheat.
  • 00:17:34.719 --> 00:17:38.356
  • He talked about a farmer who planted wheat, and he had an
  • 00:17:38.356 --> 00:17:42.093
  • Enemy who came in the night and planted tares among the wheat.
  • 00:17:42.093 --> 00:17:47.198
  • Now, a tare is a plant that initially looks just like wheat
  • 00:17:47.198 --> 00:17:51.169
  • Until it gets a little older and then it actually uproots
  • 00:17:51.169 --> 00:17:54.072
  • The wheat.
  • 00:17:54.072 --> 00:17:55.406
  • So in the same way in the world today we have real christians
  • 00:17:55.406 --> 00:17:58.142
  • And we have fake christians.
  • 00:17:58.142 --> 00:17:59.877
  • And sometimes those fake christians are planted by the
  • 00:17:59.877 --> 00:18:02.814
  • Devil himself to drive people away from christ.
  • 00:18:02.814 --> 00:18:06.284
  • So they say, "i'm a christian," and then they do something
  • 00:18:06.284 --> 00:18:09.454
  • Horrible and we say, "see they're all hypocrites."
  • 00:18:09.454 --> 00:18:12.623
  • How do you know if that person is not just a fake from the
  • 00:18:12.623 --> 00:18:15.860
  • Beginning and a tare and never was a real believer, you see?
  • 00:18:15.860 --> 00:18:19.831
  • I think actually the presence of so many imitations is
  • 00:18:19.831 --> 00:18:24.469
  • A confirmation that there's a genuine article out there as
  • 00:18:24.469 --> 00:18:28.139
  • Well, and the genuine article is the true follower of
  • 00:18:28.139 --> 00:18:32.510
  • Jesus christ.
  • 00:18:32.510 --> 00:18:33.845
  • So don't let other people form your view of god.
  • 00:18:33.845 --> 00:18:39.117
  • And we need to prepare our children to live in this real
  • 00:18:39.117 --> 00:18:42.286
  • World that we're sending them out to right now.
  • 00:18:42.286 --> 00:18:45.389
  • Raise our children in the way of the lord.
  • 00:18:45.389 --> 00:18:47.158
  • I love the way that moses put it when he said,
  • 00:18:47.158 --> 00:18:50.461
  • "you should teach your children when you're at home, and
  • 00:18:50.461 --> 00:18:53.664
  • When you're on the road, and when you're going to bed,
  • 00:18:53.664 --> 00:18:55.366
  • And when you're getting up, just integrate these truths
  • 00:18:55.366 --> 00:18:58.636
  • Into their lives."
  • 00:18:58.636 --> 00:18:59.971
  • And so here is david now.
  • 00:18:59.971 --> 00:19:01.305
  • He seeks out mephibosheth and he brings him into his home and
  • 00:19:01.305 --> 00:19:05.209
  • Makes him a member of the family.
  • 00:19:05.209 --> 00:19:07.478
  • Look at verse 11, "mephibosheth ate regularly with david as
  • 00:19:07.478 --> 00:19:12.650
  • Though he were one of his own sons."
  • 00:19:12.650 --> 00:19:15.153
  • By the way, that's mentioned four times in 13 verses.
  • 00:19:15.153 --> 00:19:19.323
  • He was like one of his own sons.
  • 00:19:19.323 --> 00:19:20.892
  • "come and eat at my table, son.
  • 00:19:20.892 --> 00:19:22.693
  • You're like a part of our family now.
  • 00:19:22.693 --> 00:19:24.595
  • You're welcome here.
  • 00:19:24.595 --> 00:19:25.963
  • You're loved here."
  • 00:19:25.963 --> 00:19:27.298
  • So perfect.
  • 00:19:27.298 --> 00:19:28.666
  • And the bible so often uses the picture of eating as a symbol of
  • 00:19:28.666 --> 00:19:32.637
  • Communion and fellowship with god.
  • 00:19:32.637 --> 00:19:35.573
  • Jesus said, "behold, i stand at the door and knock.
  • 00:19:35.573 --> 00:19:37.742
  • If any men hear my voice and open the door, i will come in
  • 00:19:37.742 --> 00:19:40.945
  • And eat with him, have a meal with him."
  • 00:19:40.945 --> 00:19:43.080
  • I don't know about you, but i don't like to eat with people
  • 00:19:43.080 --> 00:19:45.683
  • That i don't like to hang out with.
  • 00:19:45.683 --> 00:19:48.419
  • Some people say, "hey, you wanna go get dinner?"
  • 00:19:48.419 --> 00:19:51.656
  • "no, i'll get coffee, a very small coffee.
  • 00:19:51.656 --> 00:19:58.162
  • I know a place that serves it in little thimbles," right?
  • 00:19:58.162 --> 00:20:01.599
  • 'cause i'll meet with you, but i don't wanna hang out with you.
  • 00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:04.502
  • I don't wanna have a meal with someone
  • 00:20:04.502 --> 00:20:05.870
  • Who gives me indigestion, 'cause it's gonna be a debate or
  • 00:20:05.870 --> 00:20:09.807
  • It's gonna be some other problem,
  • 00:20:09.807 --> 00:20:11.142
  • And that's okay.
  • 00:20:11.142 --> 00:20:12.510
  • We wanna have a meal with people we're comfortable with, with
  • 00:20:12.510 --> 00:20:15.980
  • Family and with friends, and this is the very picture here in
  • 00:20:15.980 --> 00:20:19.417
  • Scripture of mephibosheth having access to the king's table.
  • 00:20:19.417 --> 00:20:25.523
  • So mephibosheth meets david.
  • 00:20:25.523 --> 00:20:27.525
  • He realizes that he had it all wrong as david welcomes him into
  • 00:20:27.525 --> 00:20:31.929
  • His home.
  • 00:20:31.929 --> 00:20:33.297
  • So, what are the takeaway truths from this beautiful story?
  • 00:20:33.297 --> 00:20:36.234
  • Number one, if you're taking notes, don't let another person
  • 00:20:36.234 --> 00:20:39.403
  • Form your view of god.
  • 00:20:39.403 --> 00:20:42.273
  • Don't let another person form your view of god.
  • 00:20:42.273 --> 00:20:44.976
  • Find out for yourself who god is.
  • 00:20:44.976 --> 00:20:48.312
  • Mephibosheth could have been influenced by others who told
  • 00:20:48.312 --> 00:20:51.048
  • Him who david really was, but he found out for himself and
  • 00:20:51.048 --> 00:20:54.685
  • Discovered the real david.
  • 00:20:54.685 --> 00:20:57.021
  • So get your own relationship with god.
  • 00:20:57.021 --> 00:21:00.191
  • Number two, forgive your enemies if they deserve it or not.
  • 00:21:00.191 --> 00:21:04.996
  • Forgive your enemies if they deserve it or not.
  • 00:21:04.996 --> 00:21:08.566
  • David could have got a lot of people, paid them back, and in
  • 00:21:08.566 --> 00:21:12.703
  • Many ways they deserved it, but he did not do that.
  • 00:21:12.703 --> 00:21:16.707
  • He instead extended forgiveness.
  • 00:21:16.707 --> 00:21:19.210
  • Abraham lincoln was once criticized by an associate
  • 00:21:19.210 --> 00:21:23.481
  • Regarding his attitude toward his enemies.
  • 00:21:23.481 --> 00:21:26.550
  • President lincoln was asked, "why do you always make friends
  • 00:21:26.550 --> 00:21:30.321
  • Of your enemies?
  • 00:21:30.321 --> 00:21:32.023
  • You should destroy them."
  • 00:21:32.023 --> 00:21:34.091
  • And lincoln replied, "am i not destroying my enemies when
  • 00:21:34.091 --> 00:21:37.762
  • I make them my friends?"
  • 00:21:37.762 --> 00:21:40.665
  • That a great statement?
  • 00:21:40.665 --> 00:21:43.167
  • God took care of the enemies of david.
  • 00:21:43.167 --> 00:21:45.569
  • God will take care of our enemies.
  • 00:21:45.569 --> 00:21:48.806
  • But one day an enemy may turn into a friend.
  • 00:21:48.806 --> 00:21:51.809
  • Things change with the passing of time.
  • 00:21:51.809 --> 00:21:54.245
  • Thirdly, leave the past in the past.
  • 00:21:54.245 --> 00:21:57.114
  • Leave the past in the past.
  • 00:21:57.114 --> 00:21:58.482
  • David could have been forever haunted by his treatment that
  • 00:21:58.482 --> 00:22:02.153
  • Came from others.
  • 00:22:02.153 --> 00:22:03.854
  • I mean, he had a hard life.
  • 00:22:03.854 --> 00:22:05.790
  • You know, rejected largely by his father and mother, not
  • 00:22:05.790 --> 00:22:10.361
  • Appreciated by his brothers, hunted down like a wild dog by
  • 00:22:10.361 --> 00:22:14.932
  • King saul, but yet he put it all in the past and he forgave
  • 00:22:14.932 --> 00:22:19.370
  • His enemies.
  • 00:22:19.370 --> 00:22:20.738
  • And here's the thing that happens, he understood that god
  • 00:22:20.738 --> 00:22:24.275
  • Was in control of his life.
  • 00:22:24.275 --> 00:22:27.044
  • It takes time to turn a shepherd boy into a mighty king.
  • 00:22:27.044 --> 00:22:32.483
  • The funny thing about life is that what you may think is good
  • 00:22:32.483 --> 00:22:37.355
  • Right now may in time turn out to be not so good.
  • 00:22:37.355 --> 00:22:41.258
  • And that what you think is bad may actually turn out to
  • 00:22:41.258 --> 00:22:44.995
  • Be good.
  • 00:22:44.995 --> 00:22:46.364
  • Does that make any sense?
  • 00:22:46.364 --> 00:22:47.698
  • You might have something happening, you know, this is the
  • 00:22:47.698 --> 00:22:49.400
  • Best thing that ever happened to me.
  • 00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:50.768
  • Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
  • 00:22:50.768 --> 00:22:54.004
  • And then again there might be something happening to you that
  • 00:22:54.004 --> 00:22:56.741
  • You perceive as bad, but in reality with the passing of
  • 00:22:56.741 --> 00:23:00.378
  • Time, it will be good because of what it produced.
  • 00:23:00.378 --> 00:23:04.648
  • See that difficulty, that hardship molded you into the man
  • 00:23:04.648 --> 00:23:08.619
  • Or woman god wants you to be and you needed to go that
  • 00:23:08.619 --> 00:23:12.123
  • First--through that first.
  • 00:23:12.123 --> 00:23:13.824
  • And the same was true of david.
  • 00:23:13.824 --> 00:23:15.159
  • He's a good kid, but he's got a lot of training to go
  • 00:23:15.159 --> 00:23:18.896
  • Through before he's gonna be a great king.
  • 00:23:18.896 --> 00:23:22.466
  • Time is a way of causing us to see things differently.
  • 00:23:22.466 --> 00:23:26.837
  • Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, "god has made everything beautiful for
  • 00:23:26.837 --> 00:23:31.542
  • Its own time, but even so people cannot see the whole scope of
  • 00:23:31.542 --> 00:23:35.413
  • God's work, from beginning to end."
  • 00:23:35.413 --> 00:23:38.616
  • But here's the thing that really helped david, he had focus.
  • 00:23:38.616 --> 00:23:43.087
  • From his earliest days to his final days he had focus, and he
  • 00:23:43.087 --> 00:23:46.290
  • Said, "one thing have i desired of the lord, and that will
  • 00:23:46.290 --> 00:23:50.227
  • I seek after, that i may dwell in the house of the lord all the
  • 00:23:50.227 --> 00:23:53.898
  • Days of my life."
  • 00:23:53.898 --> 00:23:55.566
  • Now in closing, the story of david and mephibosheth.
  • 00:23:55.566 --> 00:24:02.373
  • You try saying that mephibosheth, go.
  • 00:24:02.373 --> 00:24:04.508
  • [congregation repeats]
  • 00:24:04.508 --> 00:24:05.843
  • Yeah, you didn't do that well.
  • 00:24:05.843 --> 00:24:08.546
  • So in closing, this is a beautiful story of us and god.
  • 00:24:08.546 --> 00:24:14.084
  • God is like david; we're like mephibosheth.
  • 00:24:14.084 --> 00:24:18.055
  • Out of sheer love for jonathan, david demonstrated grace to his
  • 00:24:18.055 --> 00:24:23.561
  • Handicapped son.
  • 00:24:23.561 --> 00:24:25.429
  • And in the same way, out of love for us and because of what jesus
  • 00:24:25.429 --> 00:24:30.434
  • Did for us on the cross of calvary, god extended his grace
  • 00:24:30.434 --> 00:24:34.839
  • To each one of us.
  • 00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:36.173
  • The bible says, "while we were yet sinners, christ died
  • 00:24:36.173 --> 00:24:39.143
  • For us."
  • 00:24:39.143 --> 00:24:40.511
  • It doesn't say, while we were yet christians.
  • 00:24:40.511 --> 00:24:43.280
  • While we were yet sinners, when we were opposed to god, when
  • 00:24:43.280 --> 00:24:46.750
  • We're the enemies of god, that's when christ died for us.
  • 00:24:46.750 --> 00:24:51.555
  • Secondly, mephibosheth had nothing, he deserved nothing,
  • 00:24:51.555 --> 00:24:55.159
  • And he could repay nothing.
  • 00:24:55.159 --> 00:24:57.761
  • And he was hiding, but in the same way we have nothing we
  • 00:24:57.761 --> 00:25:00.764
  • Brought to the table that made us deserving of what god gave to
  • 00:25:00.764 --> 00:25:04.468
  • Us, but he did it anyway.
  • 00:25:04.468 --> 00:25:06.203
  • Thirdly, mephibosheth was adopted as a son and invited to
  • 00:25:06.203 --> 00:25:10.174
  • Eat at the king's table.
  • 00:25:10.174 --> 00:25:11.709
  • And in the same way you, when you put your faith in jesus,
  • 00:25:11.709 --> 00:25:15.412
  • Are adopted into god's family.
  • 00:25:15.412 --> 00:25:20.751
  • Greg: hi, my name is greg laurie.
  • 00:25:24.522 --> 00:25:26.156
  • I started searching for god at a very young age.
  • 00:25:26.156 --> 00:25:30.160
  • And my search led me into a lot of wrong directions, including
  • 00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:34.031
  • Drug use that i almost destroyed my life completely, but someone
  • 00:25:34.031 --> 00:25:38.536
  • Told me about jesus christ, and it changed my life forever.
  • 00:25:38.536 --> 00:25:43.374
  • And i want you to know that whatever course your life is on
  • 00:25:43.374 --> 00:25:46.210
  • Right now, it can change if you realize there's a god in heaven
  • 00:25:46.210 --> 00:25:49.947
  • Who loves you and he has a plan for your life.
  • 00:25:49.947 --> 00:25:53.884
  • I prayed this prayer to ask jesus into my life at the age of
  • 00:25:53.884 --> 00:25:57.588
  • 17, but here i am at the age of 70, and i can tell you i made
  • 00:25:57.588 --> 00:26:02.226
  • The best choice i ever could make.
  • 00:26:02.226 --> 00:26:04.295
  • You can make that same choice yourself.
  • 00:26:04.295 --> 00:26:06.530
  • You could just say, "jesus, help me, forgive me of my sin.
  • 00:26:06.530 --> 00:26:10.401
  • I wanna go to heaven when i die.
  • 00:26:10.401 --> 00:26:12.336
  • I want a relationship with you."
  • 00:26:12.336 --> 00:26:15.005
  • If you would pray a prayer like
  • 00:26:15.005 --> 00:26:16.373
  • That, god will hear you
  • 00:26:16.373 --> 00:26:17.708
  • And answer you.
  • 00:26:17.708 --> 00:26:24.748
  • Greg: hey, greg laurie here, and i wanna tell you about
  • 00:26:28.819 --> 00:26:30.721

  • 00:26:30.721 --> 00:26:33.524
