- Jesus was the only one who could be the mediator.
- 00:00:27.010 --> 00:00:31.047
- And had he not been able to function between two mountains
- 00:00:31.047 --> 00:00:36.252
- And between two thieves and between two opinions, then he
- 00:00:36.252 --> 00:00:40.457
- Wouldn't be able to exist as a mediator between god and man.

- Between john and judas.
- 00:01:12.889 --> 00:01:18.027

- You should tell your people to shut up."

- And jesus has to exist between two opinions without trying to
- 00:01:56.099 --> 00:02:02.672
- Fix either one of them.
- 00:02:02.672 --> 00:02:06.242
- He doesn't have time to go back and explain to them: "yes, i'm
- 00:02:06.242 --> 00:02:09.212
- The king, but this is not the messianic age where i can set
- 00:02:09.212 --> 00:02:13.316

- His critics.

- He has to live between two opinions without acquiescing to

- But they also know that though they thought he was good, he was
- 00:02:45.481 --> 00:02:50.887
- Not going to be good in the way that they expected.

- You can live between a priest and a man named pilate.
- 00:03:35.665 --> 00:03:41.437
- Caiaphas, the priest initiated the crucifixion.
- 00:03:41.437 --> 00:03:46.109
- And pilate said: "bring me some water and let me wash my hands."
- 00:03:46.109 --> 00:03:50.580
- And jesus had to live between the two.
- 00:03:50.580 --> 00:03:54.751
- I wanna deal with some people that are living between,
- 00:03:54.751 --> 00:03:59.422
- Gap fillers, some gap filler.
- 00:03:59.422 --> 00:04:05.094
- Paul talks about living between.
- 00:04:05.094 --> 00:04:10.967
- I count myself to have apprehended it.
- 00:04:10.967 --> 00:04:13.603
- I'm not where i wanna be, but this one thing i do, i'm
- 00:04:13.603 --> 00:04:18.074
- Forgetting those things which are behind me.
- 00:04:18.074 --> 00:04:21.177
- I pressed toward the mark of the prize of the high calling
- 00:04:21.177 --> 00:04:25.114
- Of god.
- 00:04:25.114 --> 00:04:26.449
- He says: "the art of being a believer is to be able to
- 00:04:26.449 --> 00:04:30.520
- Believe even when you're not quite there yet."
- 00:04:30.520 --> 00:04:35.858
- Jesus tells thomas: "you have believed because you have seen,
- 00:04:35.858 --> 00:04:40.396
- But blessed are they who have not seen and yet they believe.
- 00:04:40.396 --> 00:04:45.268
- I want to talk to people who aren't quite there yet.
- 00:04:45.268 --> 00:04:51.307
- I'm not--the baptist church, we used to say: "i'm not what i
- 00:04:51.307 --> 00:04:54.944
- Ought to be, but i'm not what i used to be."
- 00:04:54.944 --> 00:04:58.948
- I'm between two places.
- 00:04:58.948 --> 00:05:01.517
- I'm between caiaphas and pilate.
- 00:05:01.517 --> 00:05:04.220
- I'm between two opinions.
- 00:05:04.220 --> 00:05:05.988
- I'm between two disciples.
- 00:05:05.988 --> 00:05:07.990
- I'm between two mountains.
- 00:05:07.990 --> 00:05:10.426
- And before the week is out, they would hang him high and stretch
- 00:05:10.426 --> 00:05:15.198
- Him wide in between two thieves.
- 00:05:15.198 --> 00:05:23.272
- And had he not been able to function between two mountains
- 00:05:23.272 --> 00:05:28.678
- And between two disciples and between two opinions and between
- 00:05:28.678 --> 00:05:33.783
- The priest and pilate and between two thieves, then he
- 00:05:33.783 --> 00:05:37.587
- Wouldn't be able to exist as a mediator between god and man.
- 00:05:37.587 --> 00:05:44.193
- Jesus was the only one who could be the mediator between god and
- 00:05:44.193 --> 00:05:48.931
- Man because jesus was the one that was used to living in
- 00:05:48.931 --> 00:05:55.204
- The middle.
- 00:05:55.204 --> 00:05:58.074
- He's the man in the middle.
- 00:05:58.074 --> 00:06:04.781
- How can you be who you are in the middle of the mess
- 00:06:04.781 --> 00:06:10.153
- You're in?
- 00:06:10.153 --> 00:06:11.721
- That's what i want you to get out of this message today that
- 00:06:11.721 --> 00:06:15.258
- Jesus is teaching us how to be in the middle.
- 00:06:15.258 --> 00:06:20.830
- My--the late ofield dukes, one of the great public relation
- 00:06:20.830 --> 00:06:24.700
- People here in the united states, he's deceased now, he
- 00:06:24.700 --> 00:06:28.371
- Told me: "he who stands in the middle of the road gets hit by
- 00:06:28.371 --> 00:06:32.041
- Both sides."
- 00:06:32.041 --> 00:06:36.012
- There's a price to be paid to be in the middle, but balance is in
- 00:06:36.012 --> 00:06:43.352
- The middle.
- 00:06:43.352 --> 00:06:45.021
- You can't balance anything you can't center.
- 00:06:45.021 --> 00:06:48.791
- And jesus is gonna bring back balance to what adam took to
- 00:06:48.791 --> 00:06:53.229
- Extremes, and he is the one who stood in the middle.
- 00:06:53.229 --> 00:06:58.501
- And he was able to be in the middle.
- 00:06:58.501 --> 00:07:01.304
- I want to talk to some people who are in the middle of
- 00:07:01.304 --> 00:07:03.372
- Something right now.

- I want you to write down three things, you don't have to give
- 00:07:05.641 --> 00:07:08.444
- Personal details, that you're in the middle of right now.
- 00:07:08.444 --> 00:07:11.547

- I can't quite get the joy out of either thing 'cause i'm in
- 00:07:29.565 --> 00:07:31.334

- I'm in the middle of it right now.
- 00:07:56.826 --> 00:07:58.194
- It keeps me up at night.
- 00:07:58.194 --> 00:07:59.529
- Sometimes i wake up, and i can't go back to sleep because
- 00:07:59.529 --> 00:08:01.197
- I'm in the middle of it.
- 00:08:01.197 --> 00:08:02.532

- I'm in the middle of changing jobs.
- 00:08:14.844 --> 00:08:16.712
- I'm in the middle of frustration.
- 00:08:16.712 --> 00:08:18.414
- And i don't quite feel appreciated in either place
- 00:08:18.414 --> 00:08:21.684
- Because i'm neither at olives or calvary.
- 00:08:21.684 --> 00:08:24.720
- I'm neither with john or judas.
- 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:27.423
- I'm in the middle of it right now.
- 00:08:27.423 --> 00:08:30.393
- I'm between two places right now.
- 00:08:30.393 --> 00:08:34.864
- Without the luxury of either, i am in the middle of it, and i am
- 00:08:34.864 --> 00:08:39.769
- Trying to figure out how do you function in the middle.
- 00:08:39.769 --> 00:08:45.575
- How do you function in the middle because being in the
- 00:08:45.575 --> 00:08:48.644
- Middle is noisy?
- 00:08:48.644 --> 00:08:52.682
- The gravitational pull of your past is saying, you can't go
- 00:08:52.682 --> 00:08:58.120
- That high.
- 00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:00.856
- And every time you take a step forward, it's trying to pull you
- 00:09:00.856 --> 00:09:04.360
- Back saying, you don't even belong in that arena.
- 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:08.798
- The gravitational pull of yesterday, if you're not
- 00:09:08.798 --> 00:09:11.133
- Careful, will cause you to end up with a conclusion like newton
- 00:09:11.133 --> 00:09:15.471
- That says: "what goes up must come down."
- 00:09:15.471 --> 00:09:18.741
- And so you're afraid to believe in up because you might
- 00:09:18.741 --> 00:09:25.815
- Come down.
- 00:09:25.815 --> 00:09:28.751
- You got somebody that loves you, but you can't quite believe in
- 00:09:28.751 --> 00:09:33.022
- Love because you've been betrayed before.
- 00:09:33.022 --> 00:09:37.193
- You got a promotion in front of you, but you can't believe it
- 00:09:37.193 --> 00:09:39.762
- Because you had one before, and they gave it to somebody else,
- 00:09:39.762 --> 00:09:45.267
- And you're in the middle of it right now.
- 00:09:45.267 --> 00:09:47.903
- And jesus, jesus keeps his head in the middle.
- 00:09:47.903 --> 00:09:57.947
- In the middle of all of this noise, there's something that he
- 00:09:59.482 --> 00:10:04.320
- Knows that stabilizes him.
- 00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:09.625
- While everybody else is going to extremes, there's something that
- 00:10:09.625 --> 00:10:13.396
- Jesus knows coming in the middle that causes him from tipping.
- 00:10:13.396 --> 00:10:19.201
- Anybody else would have stayed at the party.
- 00:10:19.201 --> 00:10:21.837
- Hosanna, hosanna, oh yeah, let's do it.
- 00:10:21.837 --> 00:10:24.840
- Hosanna, let's do it.
- 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:26.275
- You talking about me, you like me, you love me.
- 00:10:26.275 --> 00:10:28.811
- Oh yeah, you with me, you my boy, you on my--anybody else
- 00:10:28.811 --> 00:10:33.082
- Would have stayed back there.
- 00:10:33.082 --> 00:10:34.417
- But if he'd stayed back there, he would have missed
- 00:10:34.417 --> 00:10:36.318
- His purpose.
- 00:10:36.318 --> 00:10:40.623
- Sometimes staying too long with people who are saying too much
- 00:10:40.623 --> 00:10:44.360
- Is just as bad as facing off with your enemies.
- 00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:48.998
- He has the ability to know who he is without needing their
- 00:10:48.998 --> 00:10:53.936

- He asked them: "who touched me?"
- 00:21:33.308 --> 00:21:36.411
- It was not even his knowledge of her that got her healed.
