deep in the Old Testament. It's gonna be amazing. So we're gonna continue this and md MP twenty two always commenting every show awesome. And then let me see, I'll go back to Wednesday Service of last week and see if anybody commented or had any questions. Oh you know what, I cannot miss this. Listen, I cannot miss this. Who is it? Luke five? Whose comment was that? Somebody commented on Patreon. It's like, I think it's God five forty two h z. I think that's who you are. I

know I took a picture. Oh mention. Oh okay, okay, God is love. That's what it is. God is love five hundred and twenty eight megahertz. These days, when it comes to prayer manifestations, I know Jesus said anything you asked my name my sheell do. However, for me, one of the biggest shifts in my life has come since I started only praying for others and only asking for myself when it's something Okay, so let's stop right there. Yeah, so, yeah,

you're praying for others. I think that's that's what you should do. I think we should pray for obedience. I think we should pray for others. I think that's great, bro. Okay, and I think, yeah, I do think. You know, when Jesus says that it is still it's still like he will answer as long as it's God's will. Right, even when he was on earth, what did he say? He prayed to God, take this cup from me, but if not, I'll do your will, you know, so like he wants to do God's will. So even if we do pray

for things, it's definitely whatever God wills. You know. If you pray for a ferrari and it's not in God's will that you know, obviously ain't gonna get a ferrari. So I like what you're saying there, Bro. Biggest shifts in my life have come when I started praying for others, yes, only asking for myself when it's something that stands in the way or will help me better serve God. Yes, awesome. I prayed for things like love, material things lately so

that I could help more people, et cetera. And never work. Since I quit asking for those things, and I've only prayed for God's will for me. Yes, and serve the Lord and help others, and have done those things. I have seen a shift in happiness abundance. Abundance as far as the things I want or I will be happy like a family, a child, etc. Who already knows better those things than God. Yes, and even more so then I want. God knows far better than me what is

best for me. He does. I agree with you so much, bro, And when it comes to me so it seems to make sense. It definitely does. Of course, I'm also an addict and alcoholics, and maybe it's different from me. Love to hear your thoughts on that. Yeah, I really agree with you, bro, And you know what, I was an addict too, you know, I used to be addicted to drugs, you know. And I was an addict. And now most people say you're an addict for life. I'm addicted to

God and I'm addicted to the Bible. I'm addicted to the word now, and I'm addicted to the gym, all right, I know that's what I'll say. So, yeah, I'm still an addict, but I'm addicted to God. I replaced those bad habits that I had of drugs, alcohol, partying, chasing women, chasing fame, chasing all that stuff, you know. I replaced it with very positive things the Bible, praising God, doing a podcast, and now doing a Bible study for you guys, and also the gym. Okay, that's like the five things

I replaced it with. And when I ended up getting saved, I don't need anything else. I don't need anything else. I don't need to go watch a movie. I don't need to do certain things to be happy anymore. I'm happy with with praising God, reading the Bible, when I work out, I listen to sermons on what my show is going to be about. I'm literally constantly researching, and

that fulfills me. Now, it might be different for other people, but what I'm doing right now with the Bible and everything on this show and also and also you know, when I get to research and study and everything that fulfills me, that fulfills my heart and to be able to hear from people like you, God is love five

point twenty eight HC. To know that you're an addict, an alcoholic, and to be able to do a Bible study for you is such a blessing for me because if you saw me before I joined the army, like, let me see two thousand and fourteen, right, twenty fourteen, maybe twenty thirteen, I was a completely different person than I am now. Okay, I wasn't a jerk. Even though I was doing drugs. I wasn't a jerk or anything

like that. I was just I was still nice to people, but I was a total, complete different person as far as my priorities. Everything was not in line. Nothing. Okay. So if anybody out there is struggling, what I want to tell you is, you see my voice is coming back. You see it's starting to get a little weird again.

What I want to tell you is that first of all, God loves you, and you know those that lost sheep, the one He's gonna go get you, and then the angels of heaven are going to rejoice when he gets you. So yeah, I just I'm really really happy that I'm able to be here for you. God is Love five twenty eight hc to do a Bible study for you and with you, right. I think it's amazing, So God bless you, Happiness, Helson Miracles for their thank you and I do always miss. I don't have access to Patreon

like where I could see comments. So if I miss anybody that's on Patreon about your comments or anything like that, I apologize. I'm not trying to do that on purpose. I'm not trying to only shout out people on Spotify. If you listen on Apple speaker Box any other thing, I love you guys. I I only really get to see the messages on Spotify because this is not my account, right, this is Jonathan and Jacob Quote Conspiracy's account, right, So I don't really get to see that. So that's all

Maybe I can assist you as well. But anyways, thank you guys so much. This is episode thirteen and we are going to get into Luke five. So let me

get to my notes really quick. Luke chapter five. Let's go all right, let's go ahead and pull up the Bible app all right for anybody that could see on Patreon Luke five all right, let's do that, and I have okay, So here we go. We're going to be on luke five verse one four fishermen called as disciples. So it was as the multitude pressed about him to hear the word of God, that he stood by the lake of Guinness rhtt and saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone from them and

were washing their nets. Then he got into one of the boats, with which was Simon's Simon be and Peter and asked him to put out a little from the land to put him wait. Asked him to put out a little from the land, and he sat down and taked the multitudes from the boat. Now, one thing that Jesus used to do. You know, if you are out fishing with your your grandpa or your dad, or your brother or your cousin, and you're on a boat and then you're talking, if you notice, your voice will carry

across the lake. And sometimes you can hear people talking from the shore and they're speaking, or people on boats, you're able to kind of hear how their voice carries. So Jesus when he was you know, instead of him being rushed by the multitude of people, sometimes he would ask to be on a boat and kind of be out in the lake a little bit and then kind

of speaking to the audience. His voice will carry, and it's kind of easier for him to probably maybe I would say concentrate, even though he probably concentrates just fine. But this is just what I'm seeing, you know. So, oh my bad, I'm sorry, I accidentally clicked the verse. When he had stopped speaking. He said to Simon, launch into the deep and let your nets for a catch. Let down your nets for a catch. But Simon answered and said to him, Master, we have toiled all night

and caught nothing. Nevertheless, at your word, I will let down the net. So what I'm seeing there is I'm seeing a little bit of doubt right in Peter. I'm seeing that. I'm seeing that Peter had to mention, you know, the toil all night caught nothing. But then he's like, but I'll still, you know, I'll still put your put the net down. So he is being obedient, but he's mentioning the lack of faith first. So that's what I'm

kind of seeing there. And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their net was breaking, so they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both the boats so that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus's knees, saying, depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

So something I'm seeing here is he's already seen Jesus do some miracles, right, So, but this one is actually this one is actually personal for Peter, right, this is a miracle that was personally done for Peter. Jesus obviously was feeling some type of lack of faith, and Peter like, how are you gonna doubt when you see all the

miracles he's doing? But we're human, you know, And I obviously I have lack of faith sometimes too, and probably mostly everybody that acts like they have all the faith and the world has a lack of faith too when it comes to a certain extent. So I'm not judging Peter here, but you hear the lack of faith, right. So, and then when Peter drops down, it says that he fell down to his knees. That actually, in the Greek

means to be fearful, so he was like fearful. He was fearing the Lord right, so he feared the fact that he didn't have the faith right there, he probably felt that write a little bit of conviction there, saying depart from me, for I am a sinful man. Old Lord will continue Luke five, verse nine, for he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken. And so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners

with Simon. So those are the two that came over. And looks like it was James and John who also were his disciples, and Jesus said to Simon, do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men, Okay. So when they had brought their boats to the land,

they forsook all and followed him. So it's amazing because Jesus does a personal miracle for Peter, and also it's pretty personal for James and John too, right because they're seeing it as well, and they're coming over to help and they're like, wow, our boat's are about to break. They got somebody fish, and then Jesus is telling them do not be afraid talking to Peter because when it says he fell down. That actually means fearful, right, So

do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men, right, You will spread the gospel, be fruitful, and you're gonna be catching men right. So next, next up, we have Jesus cleansing a leper. Let me see if you know what. We'll go to the notes after Jesus touches him and cleanses a leper. So let's read this Luke five, verse twelve. And it happened when he was in a certain city that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus and fell on his face and implored him, saying, Lord,

if you are willing, you can make me clean. So we'll stop there real quick. We went over Leviticus. We saw all the laws and everything. If you guys were following along in the book Leviticus, you guys see everything that they had to do for if someone was a leper. They were doing like almost like COVID was doing, you know, like they did during COVID. They were quarantining people. And even back then, if people at leprosy, they were quarantining them and you're not allowed to touch them or you'll

be unclean. There was some of the leprosy that was going around would be if you touch some you catch it, so they would not touch them. And in fact, when someone had leprosy, they have to walk on the other side of the street and they have to scream leprosy, leprosy, you know, like unclean. I'm sorry, not leprosy. They screened, they have to screen unclean because it it was a serious thing. And then they had to go through, you know, a lot of different things through with the priest to

find out if they were cleared of the leprosy. First, then they had to you know, for seven days. You know. It was like a lot, a lot to this. And one thing is, once you have the leprosy that's uncurable, nobody's gonna touch you, so you no longer have human touch anymore. Think about that. That's it's it's it's a sad thing, you know. And Jesus, I'm sure he knows that, you know, he knows that, he knows that, you know, not sure knows that he knows that part. So listen

to what Jesus does. Then he put out his hand and touched him, saying I am willing be cleansed immediacy immediately the leprosy left him, and he charged him to tell no one, but go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing as a testimony to them, just as Moses commanded. Okay, so he put out his hand and touched him. Okay, he didn't have to touch him. That just it's just showing you. First of all, that disease is nothing to Jesus. He

can overcome any disease, that's obvious. But he has compassion. He put his hand and touched him. He put out his hand and touched him, saying, I am willing to be cleansed, and immediately the leprosy left him. Okay, first of all, the love that he had to be able to, you know, just just heal him is amazing. But the fact that he want the extra mile and he touched him, I am willing to be cleansed. Immediately the leprosy left him.

He charged him to tell no one, right, so he told you didn't want him to tell no one, he said, but go show yourself to the priests. And you know what they did. We read about it in Leviticus. They check him, they try to see and there was all these different rules and everything with leprosy. You know, there's the pus coming out and all the stuff I don't want to get into on this show. The point is

Jesus did that, and that he followed the law. He said, go show yourself to the priest, make an offering for your cleansing as a testimony to them, just as Moses commanded. Right, so awesome. Now we're in Luke five fifteen. However, the report went around concerning him all the more, and the great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities. So he himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed. So he is Jesus is

a blueprint for how we should be. You know. Even though Jesus is God in the flesh, you know, he still with you know, because he is a man at this point, right, so I think he is. He still goes into the wilderness by himself, and and he prays to the father, you know, to do the father's will. Let's go next. This is Jesus forgives and heals a paralytic. This is Luke five, verse seventeen. Let's see, do I let me see what do we do? Okay, Okay, I

got that. Okay, let me check something really quick. Okay, So we're Luke five now. Sorry, I'm just trying to get my notes in order real quick. Nope, told you that Luke five. Okay. So we're in Luke five seventeen. Okay, cool, we're here. We're on the right spot. So Jesus forgives and heals a paralytic. So this is going to be

Luke five seventeen. Now, it happened on a certain day as he was teaching, that there were pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by who had come out of every town of Galleed in Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was present to heal them. Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, excuse me, whom they sought to bring in and lay before him.

And when they could not find how they might bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus. So, first of all, I'll let you guys know that there used to be like these houses would have like a way to get to the rooftop, like usually like a ladder, some type

of balcony ways to get to the rooftop. Okay, So the rooftop for for them back then would be like a place for maybe the father to go and kind of stand on the roof and you know, and maybe start praying or you know, kind of get away from the hustle and bustle, if that makes sense. It would be like you having a balcony on your you know, your your master bedroom, right and you and your wife like to get away and just sit on your balcony and when the kids are sleeping or whatever and just

kind of spend time away. So they usually had a weight to get on the roof. So these guys probably maybe there was a ladder. However they did it. But you know, it's four guys carrying one paralytic. So they were persistent and determined to get this guy healed, which is amazing. I mean, what great friends, right, what great friends. Jesus probably felt the persistence, the faith, the love, the

hope everything right here Luke five verse twenty. When he saw their faith, he said to him, man, your sins are forgiving you. Okay, this is something that first of all, we need to understand that with the Jews, with the Pharisees, with the Scribes, these guys, only God can forgive sins, okay, to them, So this is blasphemy them. Hearing Jesus say this is straight blasphemy for them because for them, only God can forgive sins. And Jesus is saying, man, your

sins are forgiving you. Now, we can forgive our friends or our enemies or people in our life that does something wrong to us, that's different. But we're not forgiving their sins, you know what I mean. We're not saying that your sins are forgiven, like as if we are God. Only God can forgive sins. Right. But Jesus never claimed to be God. Okay, well look what he's saying right here, and they took it that way. Okay, listen to what

they say. And I'm only saying that Jesus never claimed to be God because that's what some people would say. They would say, well, he never claimed to be God, he never said it outright, But this is him verbally saying something that would make him, you know, almost claim to be God right here. Okay, So listen, Luke, five, verse twenty one. And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who

can forgive sins? But God alone? You see the pharisees right there are like hey, he is claiming to be God right here. But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, Jesus can read their mind, perceiving their thoughts right, he said, He answered, and said to them, why are you reasoning with your hearts? Which is easier to say your sins are forgiving you or say rise up and walk, but you may, but that you may know that the son

of Man has power on earth to forgive sins. He said to the man who was paralyzed, I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house. Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. For they were all amazed. And they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, we have seen strange things today. So, first of all, if Jesus could have just forgave him for his sins, because the spiritual is more important than

the physical. So even if that guy was still a paralytic for the rest of his life. He got his sins forgiven right there, That's most important, right, But Jesus is saying, isn't it easier to say that than to say? Rise up? Right? So I was so confident about my voice, wasn't I? All right? So let's see, let me see if I have anything in my notes about that Jesus forgive sins claiming to be God. I got that, Matthew and Simon is okay, Let's continue. Let's see if I

have anything in my other notes. Com pretty of judicial is a paralytic first forgiving his sins, which caused a controversy among the Pharisees and the teachers of the law. The crowd marvels at the display of God's authority, right, yes, amen. Now we're going to go to my other notes right here. Now, this is Matthew the tax collector. We already we read the Book of Matthew already, so we already went through

his gospel. Right. So Matthew the tax collector, after these things, he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the off the tax office, and he said to him, follow me, so he left, all rose up and followed him. Something I would like to add to this is the tax collectors they worked for Rome, right, they were like enemies of the Jews, right, there were enemies of the Pharisees. There are enemies of the scribes, So they were enemies. The tax collectors were not looked

highly upon. The tax collectors usually had pretty good money because they would they would get a percentage of what they were collecting, right, don't know the exact percentage, but a lot of the tax collectors they had money. So for him to he left, it all rose up and followed him. Now, if you're leaving being a tax collector for Rome and you're just going to go follow Jesus, there's probably not an easy way back, right. And I

don't think he was looking to come back. I think he said, you know what, I'm gonna drop everything and I'm going to follow you. Right. And one thing that you know, Peter and John and I can't remember the guy's other name on there, Simon, No, not Simon, it was John and something else. Sorry, see those guys, you know? Oh, actually it was up here. I'm tripping, signaled their partners and came Simon. Okay, let me see John. James and

John who are the partners and Peter. You know they can always go back to their job and and go have fun and go fishing. You know, they had the boat. They could go back. They're like self employed. But Matthew, he's dropping everything right. He's a tax collector for Rome. If he leaves that job, it's probably not easy to come back, you know, to that job. So that's something

that I'm noticing. And then also we have then LEVI gave him a great feast in his own house, and there were a great number of tax collectors and others who sat down with them, and their scribes and pharisees complained again his disciples, saying, why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners? Jesus answered and said to them, those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Now

are the pharisees and the scribes and saddesties? Are they the righteous? What Jesus is talking about here? The reason why these other people that were there were not righteous is because they were sinning like out in the open and sinning, right, and people knew that they were sinners and they had no problems with that. These are tax collectors, right, so you know that they were let's say, how could I put this? They were kind of screwing people over

in a way, and they had no problem with it. Right. So another thing is why do you eat and drink with access the sinners? Now? Back then they would actually take bread and dip it into food and eat, and then somebody else from across the table would dip it and eat, and then they would dip it that like there was no double dip rule back then like we

have now. So, uh, they had some type of man made tradition where they felt like if someone was like a sinner, like you know, you could you know, you could dip that and then you're eating out of the same bowl as all these sinners. You can actually, you know, physically eat that chip and oh, now you got you know, you can become a sinner now, right, I mean, come on, everybody's a sinner. They just that's just something that they put out there, right, So that's why they're they're they're

being like this to Jesus. But and and the disciples. Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. So Jesus is like, you know, he just always has the perfect answer, right, He just has the perfect answer every time that they question him, Well, they say something to him, he has just he is the word, right, Jesus is the word, and he's perfect at putting out, putting together those sentences

for rebuttals against these Pharisees. Right, let's see if I have anything on my other notes calling it Levi. Jesus calls Levi, a tax collector, to follow him at a feast in Levi's house. Jesus interacts with tax collectors and sinners, leading to a dispute what the pharisees about his association with such individuals. We kind of already know that. Jesus responds, stating that he calls, Yeah, okay, so we got that. Let's go. So now we're going to be questions about fasting,

So Luke five, verse thirty three. Then they say said to him, why do the disciples of John fast often? John the Baptist is what we're talking about, And make prayers, and likewise those of the fair sees, but yours eat and drink. Here's another part that I would say that Jesus is referring to himself as God, because why do you fast? And why do you fast in the first place? You fast to get closer to God. Right, you fast to deny your flesh, and then you fast to get

closer to God. So let's see what Jesus says. And he said to them, can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, Then they will fast in those days. Then he spoke a parable to them. So okay, let's let's see. Can you make friends of a bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them? But the days will

come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them? Right, So he's saying like, they don't need to fast, they need to with the time while I'm here, because you don't need to fast to get closer to God, because God is right here in their present, in their presence, God in the flesh is there in their presence, so they do not need to fast. And by the way, these people that used to fast, like the Pharisees, the Sadducees, they would fast and they would try to like make

didn't get the lunch. Today they're grumbling, you know, complaining, is what this pastor I was listening to was saying. I don't know if that's true. I don't know because I wasn't alive back then, but he said that, you know that that would happen sometimes where they would they would fast and then they would want people to know they're fasting, you know, so it makes them more holy. So that so that they would fast for the wrong reasons. They would fast so that people would say, oh, you're

fasting right now, Oh you're holy. It'd be like me, excuse me. It'll be like me fasting, you know, and then me coming on this podcast and be like, hey, guys, I've been fasting for like four days and I'm so close to God right now, I'm so holy and blah blah blah. That's not what's going on. That's not what God even wants you to fast for. You fast to deny the flesh, show the flesh who's boss, right, because eating is something we need in the physical. The word

of God is something we need in this spiritual. So when you deny yourself of the physical, then you are showing the flesh kind of who's boss. Right. So also it helps you to get closer to God. Right. Being obedient gets you closer to God. Right, because when you sin, it separates you from God. So if you're fasting, praying, and being obedient to God, you were getting closer to the Lord. Right. So another thing I would say is

the definition of fasting was just abstaining from food. Let's see for a certain amount of time, Right, you're denying your flesh. So yeah, I don't need to look up the definition of that. We'll continue, We'll continue. So this is Luke five, verse thirty six. Then he spoke a parable to them. No one puts a piece from a new garment in an old one, otherwise the new one makes a tear. And also the peace that was taken

out of the new does not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old skins, old wine skins, or else the new wine will burst the wine skins and be spilled, and the wine skins will be ruined. But the new wine must be put into new wine skins, and both are preserved, and no one having drunk old wine immediately desires new where he says the old is better now. Luke five presents a series of remarkable events

and teachings in jesus ministry. For calling his first disciple to performing miraculous healings, Jesus challenges with his norms, Oh, I'm sorry, let me go to the fasting part Jesus's question about why the disciples do not fast as John's disciples and the Pharisees do. He responds with the parable the bridegroom and the patch of unshrunk cloth, emphasizing the newness of his message and mission. So what this pastor was saying that I was studying is the new Covenant.

Instead of laws, we have the Holy Spirit, and said, okay, So if we go to Jeremiah thirty one thirty one through thirty five, it says, behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah. Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand and led them out of the hand of Egypt my covenant, which they broke, though I was a husband

to them, says the Lord. But this is the covenant that I will make with them, with the House of Israel. After those days, says the Lord, I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying know the Lord, for all know me. For the least of them, of the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity and their sin. I will remember no more.

So it's talking about a new covenant. The way this pastor kind of put it is, you can't fit the old covenant with the new covenant. So that's the way he explained it. Now do I know one hundred percent that that's exactly what he's talking about. I don't know one hundred percent. You know, Jesus is the one that did the parable, and if he doesn't explain it, then we were kind of putting our own touch on it. That's the way the pastor that I was talking to

explained it. I could kind of give you, guys. Let's see the of the old skins. The parable Jesus uses the analogy of new wine and old wine skins to explain why he and his disciples don't follow certain Jewish practices like fasting. Old wine skins made from animal skins are brutal and inflexible. If new from any wine is poured into them, the expanding wind will burst the skins, ruining both the wine and the skins. Meaning the new wine represents Jesus's teachings and the new covenant of the

Kingdom of God. That's what I was explaining. Old wine skins represent the old covenant, the Jewish law or rigid religious traditions, the lesson. Just as the new wine cannot be contained in old wine skins, and so too, new teachings or new way of understanding God cannot be forced into old inflexible structures. Okay, So that way you guys kind of know. And then let's go ahead and see what the we go back to my notes. Sorry, guys, trying to flip between all these notes, and I don't

want to get lost here. Five Where are you? Okay? So let's go the teaching points for this chapter the Miraculous Catch a fist, Jesus demonstrates his divine authority over nature, leading to a miraculous catch that astonishes Peter and his companions. Yes, that's awesome, his divine authority over nature. Yes, and as you see, he also he also was able to control the weather, walk on water. The only person that I

see controlling the weather in the Bible is God. Right, So it is God, the Father in the Old Testament. You know, God is doing that right, So I just want to put that out there, so you see him able to do it, and so is God. So Jesus, I mean, what would you say, I'd say he's God. Peter's humble response. Peter's reaction to the miracle is one of humility and recognition of his own sin, and it's saying, go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man. Yes, so yeah he did. He was fearful that he didn't

have that faith. Right the Call to discipleship, Jesus calls Peter, James, and John to leave everything and follow him, illustrating the cost and commitment of true discipleship. Yes, that is definitely true discipleship, and you were going to be leaving, You're going to be leaving your old life behind, your old friends, behind your old drinking partners, behind your old buddies that like to go, you know, listen to rap music and smoke weed. Your people that were used to chill with

you on the block, you know, all those people. To be honest, if you were drinking with them every weekend and going to parties with them all the time, you know what happened if you told them that you don't want to drink anymore and you don't want to party, A lot of those people would not be your friend anyways. Okay, just letting you know a lot of them are there for the party. I will give you an example of that in my own life. So when I was growing up my dad's house, I was only fourteen years old

and my parents got a divorced. So my dad was like, hey, you guys want to We'll make this a bachelor house. So you guys could do whatever you want. You could smoke weed, drink as long as you're doing it in my house, old it's fine. So we had a lot of friends coming over all the time, a lot of people in and out of the house. My dad was kind of selling weed to a bunch of people. Right,

So it was kind of a crazy scene. But people would come over and smoke weed all the time at my dad's house, right, And I had probably a set of like eight friends that came over. Like a lot of people would come and they would be hanging out with us all the time. You know, come you know, maybe like a year and a half later after, you know, just partying like crazy, having massive parties at my house

where there's fights and all this stuff. Cops would come, my dad would say, hey, would you rather be here or drunk out on the streets. Just craziness. Right. My whole point to this is the friends that once my dad got busted for selling weed and went to jail, a lot of the friends that were coming over to smoke all the time, we kind of didn't hang out

as much. Now, there were some core friends that stayed, don't get me wrong, but some of the uh, some of the a lot of them they they we didn't we weren't hanging out because they were there for the weed and the partying and all the girls and all the stuff that was that was available. Obviously right now it happens a lot, so just just an example of basically true discipleship, right is uh is dropping everything and following him. Now do you Is it easy to drop

it all at once? No, it's very tough. But you're gonna start dropping these habits Surely at some point you're gonna feel like you are literally walking with God. And when that happens, it is an amazing feeling. Right, And it's gonna happen to you, to you guys as well, if it hasn't happened already, so it will happen. And I feel like you know, I mean, it's just it's crazy.

I don't want to talk about myself. I just want to tell you that God has done a lot for me in my life, and God has led me in a direction that is It's just it's just a one eighty complete one eighty of how it was. Jesus heals a leper. So this is Luke five. It says Jesus' willingness to touch and heal a leper shows his compassion like I talked about, and his power to cleanse both physically and spiritually the paralytics forgive me and healing Jesus.

Jesus not only heals the paralytic, but also forgives his sins, demonstrating his authority to forgive and is concerned for spiritual wellbeing. That's what I'm saying, that's the most important thing is the spiritual the call of Levi in parentheses as Matthew right, Jesus calls Levi a tax player to follow him, showing that his call extends to all, regardless of social status and past sins. Now, something that's fascinating is that Matthew, uh, you know Levi, Matthew is one of the disciples, and

then Simon the Zealot is one of the disciples. And you know, they never have a clash, but they're from two opposite sides of the spectrum because Simon the Zealot the Zelots were actually the ones that were revolting against Rome, revolting against tax collectors, and Matthew was a tax collector that worked for Rome, and they both became disciples of Jesus. You know, the Zealots, right, they're the ones that that didn't feel like they should be paying taxes to Rome

because Rome was occupying and actually ruling over them. So I thought, that's kind of fascinating that God. I mean, Jesus just he just he just brings people from all walks of life and brought them together. And then I never heard anything really in the Bible about Matthew and and and Simon the Zealot actually having any type of issues. New wine and Okay, so we kind of went over that. The new wine and new wine skins. Jesus teaches about the newness of his message and the need for a

fresh approach to understanding God's work. Practical applications. How do we apply this to our life? Respond to Jesus's call, Consider what it means to leave everything and follow Jesus in your own life. I kind of already went over that. What might you need to surrender to fully commit to him? Yes, that's a really good thing to apply to your life.

What is it that's holding you back? See, there's some people I've run across this a lot because I talk to people in the podcast industry and I talk to people, and some people just won't won't just won't be able to commit, you know, or won't won't be able to fully grasp what I'm when I'm telling them when it comes to the Bible, there's got to be something that

they're not ready to drop yet. You know, whether it's the smoking weed, maybe it's the drinking, the partying, the adultery, the sexual immorality, whatever it is, there's something there that's stopping them. And it would be so cool if God could just show me that and I can assist people

with it. But it doesn't always happen. People they just become standoffish and they have these little things that they're trying to and they won't be fully open about, right, So, which, you know what, more power to them whatever they want to do is I'm not trying to tell people what to do. I'm just trying to plant seeds. So yeah, so that's that's a really good point. Embrace humility, like Peter, acknowledge your own sinfulness and need for Jesus's grace and forgiveness.

That's one hundred percent, definitely definitely true. Right. We need to embrace humility, show compassion, follow Jesus example by reaching out to those who are marginalized or in need, offering both physical and spiritual support. There's definitely a lot of people that are marginalized, or a lot of people that are down on their luck, a lot of people that

are down and out. A lot of the people that are homeless, they were once working as a plumber or uh whatever job a plumber, a landscaper, uh maybe for the union, whatever, and then they got maybe got a divorce, started getting down on their luck, maybe lost a child, whatever. There's people that are marginalized right now that are homeless. These homeless people they were once in the military, right, veterans,

They fought for this country. They There's a lot of people that are like you know, that are that are down and out, down on their luck, that we might pass by daily and not even think about. But these are regularly these are real people. Have compassion, you know. And I understand that a lot of them maybe are have addictions and and uh maybe alcoholics, whatever, but they they are a soul and there are God's children just like we are, right, So I definitely agree with that.

Prioritize this, yeah, yeah, yeah, So whatever you could do, you know, at offer physical and spiritual support, right to just be capassionate, love right, love of everybody, show compassion, seek spiritual healing, prioritize spiritual wellbeing, and seek Jesus forgiveness and healing in areas of your life that need restoration. That's yes, amen to that. Be open to change, embrace the newness of life in Christ, and be willing to

adapt to His transformative work in your life. The people that were involved in this chapter, we can already know about them. Okay, let's see places we don't need to know about that events. Let's see if there's anything I can add to that. Nope, we're good. Okay. So that is Luke chapter five in a nutshell. Uh, there's like a little portion right here, So let's I'm gonna go down to this here. Okay, next time I'll read that Luke six. Okay, let me just go to my notes.

I'm gonna switch to Luke six, and we are going to go to Luke six. So we're that was a nice little chapter right there. I really enjoyed that chapter, Luke five. I want to make sure I'm going to Luke six on my notes. Jesus is the Lord of

the Sabbath is the title of this one. So Luke six. Now, it happened on the second Sabbath after the first, that he went through the grain fields and his disciples pluck the heads of grain and ate them, rubbing them in their hands and some of the Pharisees said, what are you doing? What are you doing? What is not lawful to do on the Sabbath? Why are you doing what

is not lawful to do on the Sabbath. So, first of all, you might be thinking, how do they how do they just walk through any grain field and just

able to eat like that? Is that stealing? But in Deuteronomy twenty three, twenty fourth through twenty five, so we'll go over that first before we get into the Sabbath portion, it says in Deuteronomy twenty three, twenty fourth through twenty five, when you come into your neighbor's vineyard, you may eat your feel of grapes at your pleasure, but you shall

not put any in your container. When you come into your neighbor's standing grain, you may pluck the heads with your hand, but you shall not use a sickle on your neighbors standing grain. Like you're not allowed allowed to bring a bunch of tools landscaping tools go out here and start shopping up the whole place and throwing them in a container, and then put them on your back

and walking out. No, it's meant for those that are the needy, right, It's called the laws of mercy for those that don't have the money to you know, to own a whole field, or to own, you know, to have cattle, to have sheep. For those that are the less fortunate, they're allowed to walk by and they're allowed to grab it. And basically, if they're hungry, they could grab a few, you know, and kind of just eat it. Right.

So that's what I see going on here. They're hungry, so they did that, So why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath? And then Jesus immediately goes to the story about David Luke six verse three. But Jesus answered them saying, have you not even read this? What David did when he was hungry? He and those who were with him, how he went into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and also gave some of those to him, which is

not lawful for any but the priest to eat. And he said to them, the son of Man is also the Lord of the Sabbath. That is another thing that I thought was fascinating for Jesus to say, the Lord of the Sabbath. What. So let's go ahead and read Samuel. Let's go ahead and read Samuel twenty one today. Let's see twenty one one three through four. Okay, hold on real quick, I apologize Samuel twenty one one through six, or read Samuel twenty one one through six. Let's do

that Samuel twenty one one through six. This is gonna be the story that he is referring to first, Samuel twenty one. Okay. Here it is David and the Holy Bread. Okay, so we're gonna make sure we put our marker here to know where we're at, and I will read this. It says now David came to knob to a Mila Hamilik Hamlek Amelek the priest, and Amelek was afraid when he met David and said to him, why are you

alone and no one is with you? So David said to Amelek the priest, the King has ordered me on some business and said to me, do not let anyone know anything about the business on which I send you or what I have commanded you. And I have directed my young men to and such a place. Now, therefore, what have you on hand? Give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever can be found. And the priest answered David and said, there is no common

bread on hand, there is only holy bread. If the young men have to less kept themselves from women, if the young men have at least kept themselves from women. Then David answered the priest and said to him, truly, women have been kept from us about three days since I came out, And the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in effect common, even

though it was consecrated in the vessel this day. So the priest gave him holy bread, for there was no bread there but the show bread, which had been taken from before the Lord in order to put hot bread in its place on the day when it was taken away. Now, a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the Lord, and this name was doing of Edomite. Okay, we don't need to get into all that. So that is the story right there. Right.

So they're hungry, they're starving. He has men, he needs to feed them. So the moral of the story is that human need is more important than religious ritual. Right, human need what like? So the whole point of the laws is to make you holy or separate from the pagans. Right it holy is to be separate. Right, So the whole point of the law is to make you holy. So so why would God overlook that. It's because human need is more important than religious ritual. So we have

a few other examples of that. Hoseiah six six is another example of that. Let's go let's go ahead and turn there to that to that point that I was making Hoseiah six, verse six, for I desire mercy and not sacrifice, and then knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. Okay, So that's that's kind of a kind of goes along with that. Isaiah fifty eight one through seven is another

example of what I was talking about. Cry out loud or not lift up your voice like a trumpet, tell my people their transgression in the house of Jacob, their sins. Yet they speak to me. They yet they seek me daily and delight to uh to know my ways. As a nation that did righteousness and did not forsake the ordinance of their God. They ask me the ordinance of justice. They take delight in approaching God. Have we why have we fasted? They say, And you have not seen? Why

have we afflicted our souls? And you take no notice? In fact, in the day of your fast, you find pleasure and exploit all your laborers. Indeed, you fast for strife and debate, and you strike with the fist of wickedness. You will not fast as you do this day to make your voice heard on high? Is it a fast that I have chosen a day for a man to afflict his soul? It is a bow down to his head like a bulrush. And to spread out sackcloth and act is what you call a fast, an acceptable day

to the lord? Is it not a fast that I have chosen to loose the bonds of wicked? Is to undo heavy burdens, to let the oppress go free, and that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry you see, and that you bring to your house the poor who were cast out? When you see the naked, that you cover him and not hide yourself from your own flesh. You see that what I was talking about there, that that human need

is more important than religious ritual. It's like you need to be set apart and beholy, but you're forgetting everything that the whole law was made for. You think the law is made for you to be a hall monitor Pharisees and scribes and saddusties and just you did this, you did that, you did this, you did that, And they're mixing the law with Jewish traditions, and it's just they just forget the whole reason why the law is

even there. Like you can have a house burning down and they're like, I can't pick the phone up and call the police because it's against the Sabbath for me to use the phone. I can't save that family because it's against the Sabbath. I can't use the phone, so we'll just let it burn. This is a true story.

whose right hand was withered. So the scribes and pharisees watched him closely whether he would heal on the sabbath, that they may find an accusation against him. But he knew their thoughts and said to the man who had whether hand, arise and stand here. And he rose and stood. Then Jesus said to them, I will ask you one thing. Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do evil? To save life or to destroy? And when he had looked around at them, he said to them,

the man, stretch out your hand. And he did so, and his hand was restored as whole as the other. And they were filled with rage and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus. So you see what I mean, He is showing them to do good. Now in Matthew, he brings up the he brings up the sheep right, so like if your sheep was to fall in the water on the Sabbath, why didn't you get the sheep out? Well, what more important is a

man than a sheep? It's something like that. I'm definitely paraphrasing there, you know, I don't need to go back to the verse. It's something like that. So this is Luke, you know, doing the same exact situation, scenario in situation. And also when I was listening to these pastors to talk about this situation, they feel like this man was planted in order to try to catch Jesus and for

them to accuse him. That's why it says that they were watching him closely whether they would heal in the Sabbath. It's like it's almost like they planted the guy there. And is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or destroy it? Yes, exactly. I mean it's it's let's see, we're at Luke six versus six. Let's see if there's so six one through five, which we already went through. It says, well, walk it through grainfield of the Sabbath. Jesus broke and plucked and

eat some grains. Speaking and controversies to the Pharisees, Yes, of course. Selection of the twelve Apostles, this is gonna be Oh, so there's nothing about the other part. Okay, let me see. Okay, so on the others. On another sabbath, Jesus heals a man with the withered hand of the synagogue. The Pharisees watched closely, seeking to accuse him. Jesus asks it lawful to do good on the sabbath, to save. Now this is on my notes. The healing demonstrates Jesus'

authority and compassion. Yes, it does, so let's see what so the Greek term kitos kurios it it emphasizes jesus authority over the Sabbath. It says for that for the verses one through five. Now we're in verse six. Let's let's go ahead and go there. Well, actually we already talked about that he did, and they were filled with raids and okay, so now we're actually at Luke six, verse twelve. So let me go back to my notes

and go up Luke six, verse twelve. The twelve Us Apostles, this is Luke six, verse twelve says, now it came to pass in those days that he went out to the mountain to pray and continued all night in prayer to God, continued all night in prayer to God. So you see that he prays all night. Have you guys ever prayed all night? I haven't. I pray at night, but I don't pray all night. I know. Sometimes they have a it's called glow after glow, I think it is where they kind of this happens in Calvary chap.

I don't know if it happens to you guys a church, but it's kind of like that. It's all about praying and stuff like that. And now we're back to Luke six, verse thirteen. And when it was day, he called his disciples to himself, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named Apostles, Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew, his brother, James, and John, Philip and Bartholomew, Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon the Zealot, Judas the son of James, and Judas is Scariot,

who was to become a traitor. Okay, Jesus heals a great multitude. This is Luke six verse seventeen. And he came down with them and stood on a level place with the crowd of his disciples, and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyree and Sidon, who came to hear him, and he healed of their diseases, as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed. And the whole multitude sought to touch him, for power

went out from him and healed them all. So he is healing, he is casting out demons, he is he is just doing great multitudes, are healing, great multitudes here, right, So Jesus delivers a sermon commonly known as a sermon on the plane. Oh yeah, so yeah, it's known as the Sermon on the plane, which is the level place. It's very similar to the Sermon on the mount but it's not the Sermon on the Mountain. It's different. And now we are going to go to Luke six verse twenty.

Then he lifted up his eyes toward his disciples and said, Blessed are you poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God. Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be filled. Blessed are you who weep, now, for you shall laugh. Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you and revile you and cast your name as evil for the son of man's sake, rejoice in that day and leap for joy, For indeed your reward is great in heaven. For in like manner their fathers did

not do to the prophets. For like manners their fathers did to the prophets. Right, So now leap for joy. Like if you notice John the Baptist, when he was in the womb and he was filled with the Holy Spirit when he heard about Jesus, what did he do? Leaped for joy? Right? I just thought that was a cool connection there, the betaitudes. Right, where's that at? Okay, Jesus delivers a sermon coming as a sermon on the plane to his disciples and the multitudes, preventing blesseds and

betatudes and woes. Now we're at Oh, that's the seventeenth through twenty six. Okay, I'm sorry, going to do all that. Okay, we'll continue and uh, blessed are you poor for yours? Let me see where that is in the Bibles in psalms. Okay, let's check it out. Blessed, blessed are you poor. Oh, I don't know, Maybe it isn't. I thought it was a all right, I tried. I thought it was maybe a in it. I thought he was quoting the Psalms

right there. All right, let's continue. Jesus pronounces woes. But woe to you who are rich, for you have receive your consolation. Woe to you who are full, for you shall hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep. Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for so did their fathers to the false prophets the woes. Okay, see if there's anything that someone on the plane ess losing someone with the parable about two builders and the importance. Okay, haven't got

to that yet. Someone on the plane Love your enemies and duoys. That's going to be twenty seven. So what the sermon on the plane? Jesus delivers a sermon to a large crowd which includes the beatitudes and teachings on love your enemies, judging others, and the importance of bearing good fruit. Key teachings include blessings you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God. Love your enemies, and do good to those who hate you, Okay, that's going to come up now. So he's just pronouncing the woes.

So it's looking like, but woe to you are rich, for you have received your consolation. So notice it's harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven, that is, for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. Notice that the greater, greatest on earth will be the least in heaven. Notice what is happening also the rich man and Lazareth, right, you read that, Lazaruth, Sorry, you read that in Luke sixteen. It's going to be

coming up in a couple of weeks. Here the man was rich eating, throwing his bones, you know, to the dogs, and throwing wiping his face with the bread and tossing it on the floor, and the poor man was eating. That rich man dies. They go into Abraham's bosom and Paradise is on one side, and there's a giant chasm between them, and then shield is on the other side. For the rich man, feet or burning. He just wants to drop of water on his tongue. Please. He has

all five senses. He's able to speak, he's able to hear, he's able to smell, he's able to feel, he's able to you know, just the five senses, right, So this is crazy. Speaking is not one of the senses. I'm sorry, But he is able to speak, he's able to hear, able to talk, and he's asking him Father Abraham, please a Lazarus come put a drop of water on my

tongue because he's thirsty. So the whole point to that that I'm saying is not to teach you about that portion yet, but it's to tell you that it's very interesting. But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation, your consolation prize. Right, you already got all your gifts up from you got them front loaded to you. But your gifts in heaven will not be

there depending on how you handle your consolation. Right. Woe to you who are full, for you shall hunger, so you'll be full on earth, but you will hunger and shield. That's the way. That's what I'm feeling that i'm seeing here. Woe to you who laugh now, Yeah, you want to put down the disciples, you want to exclude them, You want to put down Christians, you want to put down God. You want to not believe. You can laugh now, but you will mourn and weep later when you're in shield

with feet fire burning, unquenforable thirst. God is not around the one that you didn't worship on earth. You're gonna wish you worship, and you're gonna wish that God was there with you. Woe to you when all men speak well of you. Yes, if you're going for that first, So did their fathers to the false prophets. So Jesus is these we gotta pay attention to, right, We gotta pay attention to Love your enemies, Love your enemies. Right.

But I say to you this is see, this is this is the really interesting part because we're going over the Old Testament and we're seeing the way God treats the enemies of the Israelites. Okay, a lot of the enemies of the Israelites are Amorites, and you know, you know, descendants of a Knock and all these different giant tribes. So we understand those. But this is Jesus, Now, this is the New Covenant, right, this is God in the flesh. What is he say? But I say to you, this

is a luke six twenty seven. But I say to you who here, love your enemies do good to those who hate you. We'll stop there. Why would you be doing good to those who hate you? Because your whole point now that you're a disciple, is to bring people to God, to bring to get people saved. That's your whole entire mission. Your fissures of men. So if you love your enemies, you will attract that enemy to asking you, what is it that's making you this way? Yes, you can.

You can maybe not attract them to maybe they just hate you and they just don't want to talk to you. But when you show love to your enemies, that is like some bait to be able to reel them in, not to become your best friend or your friend. You could make him your friend, of course, but your whole point is to show them that love, that compassion, so that you can assist them into coming to the Lord.

That is the whole purpose. That's what I see. Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. So just because someone is doing something wrong to you, what do you do? You pray for them, and you bless them, show love to them. This is God's true personality, coming out to him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also, And for him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic. Either.

Give to everyone who asks of you, and from him who takes away your goods, do not ask them back. Just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise. Now I don't see a bunch of the disciples getting beat up, and I'm not seeing them. I have everything stolen from them, and you know, and them just you know, walking around naked. Okay, So if they're following what Jesus is saying here, obviously you know it is working. You know it would work. Now,

is it hard for us to understand? Of course, of course it is. It is so hard for us to understand it is. It's so hard. But there's when you, when you do practical application, you're gonna be able to assist these people into getting saved. That's what discipleship is about. And the people that are watching you treat people like this with love compassion, they're gonna also be attracted to coming and talk to you to find out what is it that you have that I don't because I can't

do that. How can you be nice to that person? How can you pray for that person. How could you do all these things? An example is when Paul is in prison, he converts. He gets a lot of converts while he's in prison, you know, like I mean, he's in prison. Those people are treating him probably not good, right, And he is still writing letters while he's in there. First of all. Second of all, he's attracted people to the faith and people are probably seeing, how can you

be so joyful when you're in prison. You see, we got to be separate. We gotta be holy. We got to be different than people that are not saved. We got to be different. And this is what sets us apart, separates the men from the boys, the women from the girls. Right, this is what separates the men from the boys. This is really walking with God. Like I've seen people in you know, in courtrooms where the Green River Killer was

on trial. He killed like twenty six people and most of the people that you know, the he killed daughters, who killed a lot of women, right, he would kill prostitutes and stuff. And the people that were talking to him because they got a chance to speak to him when he was sitting there, they were all you know, a lot of them were I help you rotten hell. You're disgusting, you're a piece of this. You're that, You're that. But there was this old man that came and I

guess he had killed his daughter. And he told them, I forgive you, and I hope that you come to Jesus, you know, And he said, I forgive you, I love you. God has love for you. And that made the Green River killer who was you know, obviously he had some screws loose, right, something was going on, but he actually shed a tear, he started crying. You know. That's that's the type of love that Jesus is talking about here.

This is Luke six point thirty two. And I know that probably some of it sounds crazy and foreign to us because we're not used to being like this, right, But this is the one. This is the blueprint. This is God speaking to us. God cannot lie. It's impossible for God to lie. God is not a man that he should lie, right, So listen to this Luke six thirty two. But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love

those who love them. If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back. But love your enemies, do good and lend hoping for nothing in return, and your reward will be great.

wants you to love those that despise you, you know. And then it says, you know, also, this is an important one for us. If you lend to those whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back. That's the one right there, right, Wow, But love your enemies. You know you should lend. You know, you should help people, right, I mean, that's the whole thing here that Jesus is talking about. And you should do it with the with

the with the good conscious and a good heart. And don't lend though if you're gonna like be, don't lend money out though, if you're gonna be gonna make you laid on your mortgage and your or your rent, or you're not feeding your kids. That that I wouldn't. I wouldn't suggest that, but you know it's it's you know, it depends case my case scenario. I'm just saying, have faith in the Lord. If you start following these what Jesus is saying, have faith that God's going to take

care of you anyways. So all right, So now we're in Luke six thirty seven, The Parable of the Wise. No, this is the do not judge, judge not, and you should not be judged, condemned not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. Give and it will be given to you good measure pressed down, shaken together and running over will be put into your your bosom, for which the same measure that you use it will be measured back to you. Do not judge

whoa judge not, and you shall be not be judged. Yeah, I mean condemnight you shall begin forgive, Yeah, you should you shall be forgiven, of course, judge not, you shall not be judged. You know, say, very very important right there, you know, because it's it's very easy for us to fall into, you know, judging people. You know, we're not the judge. God is the judge, right, so it's very easy for us to fall into that. But Jesus is the same. Don't do it. Condemn not and you should

not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. That's another one. Uh, Now is it talking about? Is this talking about all of our sins? You know, well, Jesus covers us for all of our sins, but we're still committing sins in the meantime, right and God, and we get punished for those sins, you know. So it says, forgive and you will be forgiven. Right, give and it will be given to you good measure, pressed down, shaken together, Yes, and and you know, give and it will be given

to you. I don't think that Jesus is referring to give and then you're gonna become rich, are we? You're gonna get tenfold if you give. It's I think it's talking about treasures that you're gonna receive in heaven. Right, That's what I think it is. You know, when you go to the judgment seat of Christ or the being the seat of Christ, he's gonna take all your works and he's gonna put him in the fire and whatever

comes out will be your gifts in heaven. And it's all about your heart and what you were doing those things for. All right. So we're at Luke six, verse thirty nine, and he spoke a parable to them. Can the blind lead the blind? What they not both? Will they not both fall into a ditch? A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher. And why do you look at the spec in your brother's eye, but do not

perceive the plank in your own eye? That's speaking of judging, you know, very important. So we could break that down, you know, Or can you say to your brother brother, let me remove the spec that is in your eye when you yourself do not seek the plank that is in your own eye. Hypocrite, First the plank from your own eye. Then you will see clearly to remove the spectatus in your brother's eye. We're quick to point out someone else's flaws without realizing the flaw that we have first.

And it seems like Jesus is saying, your flaw is a lot bigger than that little one you're trying to point out to that person. And Jesus is speaking to them them at that very moment. Of course this can be applied to our life, but he is speaking to them at that moment. And I'm sure that people were doing these things and that's why Jesus needed to specifically point this out. Yeah, this happens a lot. I see a lot of people that do this stuff, you know,

and a lot of people do it. Okay. A tree is known by its fruit, for a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, do they? Nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good, and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out

of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks. So let's let's see what's going on here, all right, hold on, let's good, let's good, let's go here, we go okay. So, the tree represents a person or a group, and the fruit represents their actions, words, and overall quality of their character. Application. A good tree person will produce good fruit actions. Well,

a bad tree person will produce bad fruit actions. Example, instead of judging someone based on their claims or appearances, you should judge them by the quality of their actions and the results they produce. Some interpretations extend this concept to exclude a person's offspring, suggest that a child's character often reflects that of their parents. That's something. Yeah, that's

an interesting take. All right, let's go back, and let's go here Jesus and let's see okay, So okay, So Jesus uses the metaphor of a tree and it's fruit to illustrate a person's actions. We already talked about that judging others. Let's go back real quick, and let's take on what this says. This judging others warns against hypocritical judgment and emphasizes forgiveness and self examination. The Greek term chrino is used for judge, suggesting discernment rather than condemnation.

Love your enemies that portion, it says, Jesus teaches radical love, instructing his followers to love their enemies and do good to those who hate them. The Greek word a quapoole is used for love, denoting selflessness and unconditional love. So now we're going to go to the build on the rock Luke six forty six. But why do you call me lord? Lord? And do not do the things which I say? Whoever comes to me and here's my sayings and does them, I will show them whom he is like.

And he is like a man building a house who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock, and when the flood arose, the stream vehemently against, vehemently against the house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation. Against the stream beat vehemently, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of the house

was great, so it's gonna be. Jesus concludes with a parable about building on a solid foundation, emphasizing the importance of putting his words into practice. The Greek word themlos themalias for foundation signifies the stability and strength in one's life through obedience to Christ. Makes perfect sense. Let's go ahead and look at the practical the teaching points for the beat to two, which is Luke six twenty through

twenty three. Jesus begins with blessings for the poor, hungry, weeping, and persecuted, emphasizing the value of the Kingdom of God a men. Woes to the self satisfied Luke six twenty four through twenty six, a warning to those who find comfort and wealth fullness, laughter, and human approval, highlighting the temporary nature of wordly satisfaction. Yes, that is very true. See that's the woes that we were talking about. Comfort in wealth, right, so greed, comfort in wealth fullness, laughter,

and human approval. That is temporary. That's something that you know your flesh will desire. But we need to feed the spirit, right, we need to feed the spirit. Next, we have hope to that love your enemies Jesus calls us to love our enemies, do good to those who hate us, and be merciful to those just as our Father merciful. Yes, judging others Luke, six thirty seven to forty two, A caution against hypocrisy and the importance of self examination before judging others. Right tree and its fruit,

the principle that a good tree produces good fruit. Illustrating our actions reflect our hearts. The wise and foolish builders Luke six forty six forty nine A parable emphasizing the importance to not just not just hearing Jesus words, but putting them into action. So important. Let's look at some practical applications for this chapter. Embrace Kingdom Values. Reflect on how you can embody the beatitudes in your daily life,

prioritizing spiritual writtness over material wealth. That is definitely true. Feed the spirit and not the flesh. That's it. Practice radical love. Identify ways to show love and kindness to those who may not reciprocate following Jesus example of loving enemies. Yeah, try that, Try to do that. I get comments on my YouTube where some people will attack and do this. I try to be loving. No, I mean, everybody can have their own opinion. Fine, just try to be nice

as you can. Okay, So we have cultivate mercy, seek opportunities to extend mercy and forgiveness. Remembering God's mercy towards you. Very great point, because God's forgiveness or mercy towards us, it's just so asked his grace. This is beautiful, right, self reflection. Regularly examine your own heart and actions before passing judgment on others. Yeah, that that whole thing is so important. You know. Sometimes we pass judgment on others.

We're always watching what other people other people are doing instead of reflecting on what we're doing. Right, We need to We need to look at ourselves. Right, bear good fruit. Focus on nurturing a heart aligned with Christ, knowing that your actions will naturally follow. Build on the rock. Commit to not only hearing, but also applying Jesus's teachings in

your life, ensuring a strong foundation. If the Bible is your foundation and anything you go into, including conspiracies and all the stuff that you know that we go into, if you have the foundation of the real truth, which is Biblical Jesus is the way, the truth, the life. If you have that as your foundation, and you go into any of these, uh any situation, and you were able to look back on verse and as you're going through scenarios, think of verses that assist you to go

through those scenarios. Your life will be so much better, so much better than before, so much better, you know. So it's just and when you start applying the teachings in your life, if everybody applied everything that Jesus is talking about here, there'd be no wars, there'd be no problems, no one stealing, no one killing, no one murdering, no one's selling drugs. No, it would just be, you know, it would be exactly how it's going to be on the New Heaven and New Earth, Okay, after revelation. So

we're waiting for that. We're praying for that. We can't wait for that, right okay, And I already want to do that. Additional Scriptures Matthew five three through twelve The Beatitudes that's coming on the Mount, offering a parallel of Luke's account Romans twelve Paul's actuation to bless those who persecute you and overcome evil with good. So we'll go to Romans twelve fourteen. This is going to be blessed.

Those who persecute you bless and do not curse. Okay, So that's Paul emphasizing that James one twenty two through twenty five the importance of being doers of the word, not just heres. And while I'm doing that, let me see how big Luke seven is. All right, we'll kick butt and go through Luke seven. Yeah, let's do that. Let's go through Luke seven. We got about twenty minutes. Okay, so I might not do as much exhorting exhortation on here.

Jesus heals a centurion servant Luke seven, verse one. Now, when he concluded all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum, and a certain centurion servant, who is dear to him, was sick and ready to die. So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders to the Jews to him, pleading with him to come and heal his servant. And when they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying that the one of whom he should do do this was deserving, for he loves our

nation and was as has built us a synagogue. It says sorry, saying to the one for whom he should do, this was deserving, for he loves our nation and has built us a synagogue. So he seems to be as somebody with a lot of money. And Jesus went with him. And when he was all this is Luke seven, verse six. And when he was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy that

you should enter under my roof. Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I am also a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one go and he goes, and to another come and he comes, and to my servant, do this, and he does it. So this is the type of faith that we should have. He knows that Jesus doesn't even need to go there. He could just say it and he will be healed. He also seems

like a commander. Let me see if a Roman satranny demonstrate is a centurion. He demonstrates remarkable faith in jesus healing power. What is a Roman centurion. Let me see real quick, give me one second, and when I look stuff like this up, it's just because for you guys and for me Roman centurion, I know that I had a military officer demonstrates remarkable faith. Okay, yeah, he's a military officer, right, so probably I higher up in the military. Right.

So the centurian's faith, this Tarnian, despite being a Roman and not Jewish, expresses great faith in Jesus' power, stating, Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. Yes, so all right, let's see. So this is Luke seven, verse nine. When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him and turned and said to the crowd that followed him, I say to you, I have not found such great faith,

not even in Israel. And those who were sent returning to the house found the servant well, who had been sick. You see, marveled. There's another time when Jesus is in Galilee and he says he's marveled at the unbelief. This is a scenario where he's marveled at the belief and the faith marveled means amazed. So he's amazed by this military centurion. Faith. Right, So let's go to Luke seven in my notes here. Okay, So Luke seven eleven through seven, looks like is Jesus raising the son of a widow.

Let me see if there's any kid. So on healing of the Centurian servant. After Jesus finished his teachings, he entered Capernium. A Copernium's servant, whom he had highly valued, was sick and near death. The centurion sent Jewish elders to ask Jesus to heal his servant. The elders pleaded earnestly, saying the centurion was worthy because he loved their nation and built their synagogue. Jesus went to them, but before he arrived, the centurion sent friends to say he was

not worthy to have Jesus come under his roof. He expressed faith that Jesus could heal with just a word. Jesus marvelous faith and healed. Okay, cool, there we go. We have that, and let me get back up to we'd explaining it. Okay, cool, perfect, all right, So let's go here Luke seven, verse eleven. Jesus raises the son of a widow of nine. Now what happened the day after that? He went into a city called Nane, and many of his disciples went with him, and a large crowd.

And when he came near the gate of the city, behold a dead man was being carried out, and the only son of his mother. And she was a widow, and a large crowd from the city was with her. When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, do not weep. Then he came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still, and he said, young man, I say to you arise, So he was dead. So he who was dead sat up and began to speak and presented him

to his mother. So this is when the where else do we see this in the Bible? We see Elijah do that with the young boy. Elijah brings someone from the dead, like he has somebody bring someone back from the dead. Obviously not Elijah, but God does it. But you know through Elijah. Right, So now we have Jesus

doing the same thing. Can you imagine someone being dead in a coffin and then Jesus just says, young man, I say to you a rise, and you see the compassion that Jesus has Right here, Jesus the displaced his compassion and power over death by resurrecting a widow's only son, causing great awe among the people. You bet they're definitely great all among the people. Then fear came upon all, and they glorified God, saying, a great prophet has risen

up among us, and God has visited his people. And this report about him went throughout all Judea and all the surrounding region. So when that report probably got to the Pharisees and Saddisties and scribes, they were probably like, oh, oh, this is causing quite a stir Okay, So we have Luke seven, verse eighteen. John the Baptist sends a message, sends messengers to Jesus. Then the disciples of John reported

him concerning all these things. In John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to Jesus saying, are you the coming one? Or do we look for another? When the men had come to him, they said, John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, are you the coming one? Or do we look for another? And at that very hour he cured many of the infirmities, afflictions, and evil spirits, and many blind. He gave sight. And Jesus answered them and said to them, go tell John

the things you have seen and heard. That the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf here, the dead or rays, the poor have the Gospel preached to them. And blessed is he. Blessed is he who is not offended because of me. I believe that's going to be in Isaiah. So he's telling of that to remind him of the prophecy. When the messengers of John had departed, he began to speak to the multitudes concerning John. What did you go into the wilderness to see a

reed shaken by the wind? But what did you go out to see a man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who are gorgeously appalled and live in luxury are in king's courts. But what did you go out to see a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet, this is he whom he has written, Behold, I send my messengers before your face, who will prepare

your way before you. I believe that's in Isaiah. For I say to you, among those born of women, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist, But he who is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he. Let's see that is a So basically I think he's saying, like, John the Baptist's greatest on earth, but he was least in the Kingdom of God. So maybe he's talking about in the heavenly is greater than he. Okay,

let's see John the Baptist questions from prison. John the Baptist says, disciples to ask Jesus, where's that at where's that? I want to see? What the And after John's messengers left, Jesus spoke to the crowd about John. He asked what they went out to see in the wilderness. He reads, way, we already read that fine clothes. No, we see a prophet more than a prophet went to Okay, a man dressified clothes. No, they went to see a prophet and

more than a prophet. Jesus declared that John was a messenger propheesis in Malachi three, one among these who were born of women, none is greater than John. Yet the least in the kingdom is greater than the people and the tax dollersis and knowledge God's justice having to baptize by John, but the pharisees and experts and the law rejected God's purpose for themselves. Okay, so let's continue. Maybe I can have hold on. Let me check something because I want to find out what's up with this and

I want to explain it to you guys. Luke, and I didn't really get this far through the study because I had I was a pretty dense study between five and six, right, So I just want to look this up so contact. The statement is part of Jesus's teaching about the nature of his kingdom and the role of John the Baptist. Jesus has claimed declares that John the Baptist is the greatest prophet of among those born of women.

The significance of John is seen as a pivotal figure, a forerunner to Jesus for praying the way for the Messiah the Kingdom of God. Jesus contrasts John's greatness with the importance of those who belong to the Kingdom of God, even the least among them. The verse suggests that John was a great prophet those who enter the Kingdom of God through faith in Jesus, are greater in statutes and significance. Okay, cool, makes sense, All right, let's see. Let's continue Luke seven,

verse twenty nine. And when all the people heard him, well on, let me get back to my notes. And when all the people heard him, even the tax collectors justified God, having been baptized from the baptism of John. But the pharisees and lawyers rejected the will of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him. And the the Lord said, to what then shall I like in the man of this generation? And what are they like?

They are like children sitting in the marketplace, calling to one another, saying, we played the flute to you, and you did not dance. We mourned to you, and you did not weep. For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine. And you say he has a demon. The son of Man has come eating and drinking. And you say, look, a glutton and a wine bearer, bearber, a friend, a tax collector, and sinners. But wisdom is justified by all the children, all her children. He has

a demon. The son of man has come eating and drinking. And you say, look a glutton and a winebibber, a friendicline of sinners. Yeah, see, they're judging him, you see Luke seven, verse thirty six, a sinful woman forgiven Luke seven, verse thirty six. The one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, And he went into the pharisees house and sat down to eat, and behold the woman in the city who was a sinner when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisees house,

brought a alabaster flask of fragrant oil. Okay, so this is gonna be merry. We've gone over this a few different times. I don't need to re hit on this, okay. So and they sit at his feet behind him, weeping, and she began to wash his feet with tears and wipe them. Now, the alabaster flask is expensive, okay, this is expensive fragrant oil, all right, like three hundred dinari, which is like a lot of I think it's a one denari a day, So that'd be like almost a

year's work, that's how expensive this stuff is. Right, So his feet, his tears wiped them, and the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil. Now, when the Pharisees who had invited him saw this, he spoke to him self, saying, this man, if if he were a prophet, would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner. And Jesus answered and said to him, Simon, I have something to say to you.

So he said, teachers, say it. Therefore, a certain creditor who had two debtors, one owned five hundred dinari and the other fifty, and when they had nothing to which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell me, therefore, which of them will love him more? Simon answered and said, I suppose to one whom he forgave more. And he said to him, you have rightly judged. And then he turned to the woman and said, Simon, do you see

this woman I entered your house. You gave me no water for my feet, but she has washed my feet with their tears and wiped them with the hair of her head. You gave me no kiss, but this woman had not seized to kiss my feet since the time I came in. You did not annoy my head with oil. But this woman who annoyed in my feet with fragrant oil. Therefore I say to you her sins, which were many, are forgiven. And she loved much, to whom little is forgiven.

The same loves little. So it's something that was like a let's see what it says a Pharisees house. A simple woman annoys Jesus' feet with their tears and perfume. Jesus uses this act to teach about forgiveness, affirming that her sins have been forgiven due to her great love, revealing that those who forgiven much love much. Yes, then he said, your sins are forgiven, and this is Luke seven nine. And those who sat at the table with him began to say to himself, who is this who

even forgives sins? And he said to the woman, your faith has saved you. Go in peace. Wow, that's the very you see. He's forgiving sins. That's he's claiming to be God. Okay, that's why they say this at the table, who is this who even forgive sins? And he said, your faith has saved You were saved by grace through faith, right, so go in peace. So he just just wanted to wrap that up. You know, that was perfect amount of time. So let me just stop the screen share teaching points

for that Centurnion's faith. When Jesus heard this, he marveled at him. Turning to the crowd following him, he said, I tell you, not even Israel I have I've found great faith. The centurion's understanding of authority and his humble approach to Jesus exemplify a faith that recognizes christ divine power. Compassionate Jesus, We've talked about that forgiveness and love. Therefore, I tell you, because her many sins have been forgiven, she has loved much, but she has forgiven little. But

he who has been forgiven little loves little. The story of the Sinful Woman highlights the transformative power of forgiveness and the profound love of endegers the authority of Jesus's word. Throughout the chapter of Jesus's Word brings healing and life, underscoring his divine authority and the power of his spoken word. So we're gonna end there. What an amazing study.
