00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Welcome to Healing Scars with Pastor Burton. Here you'll find practical, relevant, biblical information.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:19,000
The Bible will be broken down verse by verse so that you get the full context of the scripture to better grow in your relationship with Jesus.

3
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:33,000
With that said, we have choices that we need to make in life. A lot of them are life-altering moments and we don't even realize it.

4
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Sometimes we make a good decision and good things come of it. Sometimes we don't always choose wisely though. We miss the mark.

5
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:55,000
We fall short. Things don't necessarily end up the way that we want them. I think we've all been there.

6
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:06,000
When I say that the choices that we make have life-altering ends, I don't necessarily mean for us individually.

7
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Sometimes the choices that we make impact others and we won't even see it. Sometimes we do see it, but not always.

8
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Why do I bring this up? We're on the backside of Halloween. We're going into the holiday season.

9
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:31,000
We're in that stretch where we're officially looking at a lot of different things coming up really quick.

10
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:39,000
We have Tuesday's Election Day, we have Veterans Day, Thanksgiving's coming, Christmas is coming, so on and so forth.

11
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:45,000
With that said, if you haven't voted early, I do encourage everyone to go out and vote. It is your choice.

12
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Pray on it and vote as the Lord would lead you. With all that, things are getting tense.

13
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:02,000
We don't always act in the most gracious ways. Tempers flare. It could be from a number of things.

14
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:15,000
People like to feel loved. People want to try to be the popular one, to fit in, to be accepted for a number of reasons.

15
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Fear of man, fear of loneliness, fear of being outcast. Things aren't necessarily always the way that we would make them.

16
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Even with politics, we don't necessarily have the person that we want in office. It happens.

17
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:45,000
The team that we're cheering for lost the game. There's a big one on the holidays, right?

18
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:52,000
We have Thanksgiving right here, even going into New Year's. New Year's is the big one for college football.

19
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000
People are going to be yelling and throwing things at the TV. It won't be long before we see people posting videos of,

20
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:06,000
well, let's just say some happy fellow throwing their TV out on the lawn, smashing it with a sledgehammer.

21
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:13,000
I could go on for hours with examples, but there's a lot of things out there. For time's sake, we're not going to go into all of it.

22
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:23,000
I'm trying not to hold you all hostage. With that said, this week's message is falling in love with your neighbor.

23
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:31,000
As we saw this morning, sometimes it's really hard. This gentleman, he's been here a number of times.

24
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,000
He's been here a number of times just this morning, but he's not unknown to us.

25
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Unfortunately, that is an example of someone that we have to pray hard for, because we need the Lord to soften his heart.

26
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:53,000
He struggles with a lot of things. Yes, we'd like to have him here, but not in that capacity.

27
00:03:53,000 --> 00:04:05,000
We know there's a time and a place and a right way to do things. Unfortunately, by injecting chaos, that is not necessarily the way.

28
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:12,000
As much as we all want to have the spotlight on us, it shouldn't be. It should always be going to him. It should be going to the Father.

29
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Let's open our Bibles. Let's open our apps. We're going to actually start with Luke chapter 10, verses 25 through 28.

30
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:31,000
I'm sure when you get there, you're going to recognize very quickly where we're starting today.

31
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Luke 10, verses 25 through 28, the word says,

32
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:45,000
And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

33
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:52,000
He said to him, What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?

34
00:04:52,000 --> 00:05:05,000
So he answered, You shall love your God with all your heart and soul, and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.

35
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:19,000
And he said to him, Excuse me, sorry. He said to him, You have answered rightly. Do this, and you will live.

36
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Now, this is also in response to what Jesus has told us, isn't it?

37
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:31,000
It's a really good summary that Jesus has used himself of what the Ten Commandments are.

38
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:42,000
You know, if we want to be with Jesus, we want to be in heaven, you know, we want to be united with the Father, you know, for all eternity, to have a seat at the table.

39
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Then we follow the commandments, right? Now, that's not what gets us there. It's Jesus who gets us there.

40
00:05:50,000 --> 00:06:00,000
But because we love Jesus and because we have a relationship with him, we want to keep his commandments, right?

41
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:11,000
So it's not that that legalistic of doing them. You know, it's, oh, these are the commandments. These are laws. We do this because we have to.

42
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Right? It's kind of like mom and dad. Why do I have to do this? Because I said so.

43
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,000
That answer doesn't really fly, especially as an adult, right?

44
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:34,000
So it's because we want to. We have to do so with a joyful heart, you know, and when you love somebody and you're in relationship with them, when they ask you to do something,

45
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:42,000
it's a lot easier to do, even when it's something that you don't want to do. It's still a lot easier to do.

46
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Right? For instance, my son loves to golf. I think golf is so boring, but I'm more than happy to go and watch him and cheer him on.

47
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Kind of a bad example, but you know, I'm a dad, so that's where it is.

48
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:06,000
You know, so, you know, we love God fully. We'll worship him and no one else, nothing else.

49
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Because when we recognize, you know, we had that relationship with Christ, we recognize God as a father.

50
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:18,000
And he said, hey, this is what I expect of you.

51
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:23,000
When you have that relationship with somebody, you don't want to let them down.

52
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Right? Like growing up, my grandfather on my dad's side, Flick, he had a different way of punishing the same.

53
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,000
If I messed up and I got home, I knew good and well, I was going to face my dad's wrath.

54
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,000
I was going to go and I was going to get the duck belt, bring it to him, and he's going to whoop me something fierce.

55
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:45,000
You know, my mom, if she had a wooden spoon or a clog or something, well, you know, that's probably going to get busted over my knuckles,

56
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,000
because if she had a good hand or whatever, it came out, came out, you know, of targets, you know.

57
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:59,000
But my grandpa, his way of dealing with things was so different because he would sit down with them.

58
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Okay. Tell me what you did. Is that what you should have done?

59
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:09,000
How should you have responded? And he would talk to you so gently, so gently.

60
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:19,000
And when you were done, he would tell you, I love you, but I'm really disappointed in you.

61
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,000
And it made you feel this big, just tiny.

62
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:30,000
There was no yelling. There was no whooping, nothing. It's just talking.

63
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:39,000
It's just hearing him say, I'm disappointed was enough that you shed a tear to you.

64
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,000
And you felt horrible. You felt that conviction.

65
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:50,000
As we go through life that that we have that same convention, that same conviction coming.

66
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Because we have the Holy Spirit sent down by Christ, the Holy Spirit dwells in us and convicts us and does the same thing.

67
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,000
When we mess up, when we messed up, it's not what you were supposed to do. It's not what you were told to do.

68
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:07,000
I'm disappointed. And we feel guilty.

69
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,000
So, of course, you know, when it comes back to the commandments, it's good that we learn what they are.

70
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:17,000
But it's really hard, right? It's like, okay, your first commandment, your second commandment, your third commandment.

71
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Some of us aren't very good at memorizing certain things, right?

72
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Which is why it's summed up like this. Love the Lord.

73
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:30,000
You know, I love God with all your heart, mind and soul and love your neighbor.

74
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,000
And at that point, it becomes easy.

75
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Because if you love God, you're not going to want to let him down. You're not going to want to break the rules.

76
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,000
You know what's right. You know what's wrong.

77
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Even without knowing exactly what the wording is, you know inside, you know, it's in your heart.

78
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:53,000
And when it comes to loving your neighbor and you truly love other people,

79
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,000
you don't want to sin against them.

80
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,000
You want to take them to the side. You want to talk with them about what's going on with them.

81
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,000
You don't want to badmouth them. You don't want to put them down. You don't want to hit them, hurt them.

82
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:12,000
You don't want to be jealous. You don't want to take their things. You don't want to sleep with their wife or their husband.

83
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Right. You don't want to separate them from other friends or interfere with their work.

84
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Instead, you want to lift them up. And I'm not saying, hey, you want to give them a handout.

85
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Because a handout is one thing. When you love somebody, you give them a hand up.

86
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Right. You think of that football player that's down and the guy from the other team comes over, offers a hand,

87
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:45,000
helps pull him back up under their feet. And that's what we should be doing with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

88
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:53,000
And not only that, that's what we should be doing for others. Giving them a hand up.

89
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Helping them. Not a handout because nobody learns from a handout.

90
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,000
They say, what can I get? Okay, I'm going to mark this place. I can come back. I know I'm going to be able to get.

91
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,000
For some people, hey, that's how you get them back. And so you can give them that handout.

92
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,000
You know, because you've got to get that foot in the door.

93
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:17,000
But truly the ultimate result there or the ultimate ending that you want to get to is giving them that hand up.

94
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:24,000
So they could see the light that's reflecting you and they could come to Christ.

95
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:33,000
We have to learn to love our neighbors again. We have to learn to show the world what love is and thereby who God is because God is love.

96
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Right. Instead of having a mindset of whether or not I'm doing what I need to do to get to heaven.

97
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:47,000
We need to change our mindset to that of saying, am I doing everything I need to do to please God?

98
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Am I doing everything I need to do to honor God? Am I pointing the way to him in everything that I do?

99
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Am I glorifying Christ or am I glorifying myself?

100
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:06,000
Because just wanting to get to heaven is not enough.

101
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:11,000
You think at the terms of coming home to our families.

102
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Am I doing enough to get home to my house, to where I live, or am I doing enough to take care of my family?

103
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Because our family is our first ministry and that's always what should come first. Right.

104
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:32,000
When we fail, fall short and we mess up, we feel bad for letting them down. Right.

105
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,000
We feel bad when we hurt their feelings.

106
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:41,000
And it's the same thing when it comes to our relationship with the Father.

107
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:50,000
It's not enough to go home. It's about him.

108
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:59,000
You know, it's tough to get that mindset. We're so consumed with the who's who and the what's what of the world and everything that's going on around us.

109
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Which is why when we go to verse 29, the word says, but he wanted to justify himself, said to Jesus, and who is my neighbor?

110
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:25,000
And it's sad because here we're talking about a lawyer. Right.

111
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:31,000
And he's running into that same problem that we all run into. It's a legalistic problem.

112
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:37,000
We're told, hey, you need to do this. And now all of a sudden say, okay, I need to do this. All right.

113
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,000
Well, now I want to know, I need clarification. You know, let's break this up. I need to know exactly what's what.

114
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:48,000
I want to know the who. I want to know the when. I want to know the where. I want to know the how.

115
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:53,000
The why may or may not pertain. Right.

116
00:13:53,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Because when we're given a task, sometimes, you know, it does come down to that, you know, hey, do it because I told you.

117
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:06,000
And when it comes to our job and our boss says, hey, take care of this. Take care of that.

118
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Say, OK, I'm going to jump on it. So sometimes it just doesn't apply. It doesn't doesn't matter.

119
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:23,000
It's based off the answers that we get based on all the rest of those questions, all the rest of those facts that we need.

120
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:28,000
And the problem is we set our sights on the world.

121
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,000
And not on Jesus.

122
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:37,000
So we struggle. Jesus knows this.

123
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Which is why he told this parable as we continue on into verses 30 through 35.

124
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Then Jesus answered and said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves who stripped him of his clothing,

125
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,000
wounded him and departed, leaving him half dead.

126
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Now, by chance, a certain priest came down that road and when he saw him, he just passed on by to the other side.

127
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Likewise, a Levite, when he arrived at the same place, came and looked.

128
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Passed by on the other side.

129
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:22,000
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was.

130
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,000
And when he saw him, he had compassion.

131
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:38,000
So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and he said among his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him.

132
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:46,000
On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said to him, take care of him.

133
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:52,000
And whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.

134
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:59,000
So here's a man who was beaten severely, robbed, basically left for dead, right?

135
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
A priest saw him.

136
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Now here's someone you would think would stop and have some compassion, right?

137
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:14,000
He's just cruising along and he does what so many other people do.

138
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Put his blinders on and just kept on cruising past. I don't see a thing, right?

139
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Nothing.

140
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:31,000
He didn't want to get caught up in whatever had happened, for whatever reason.

141
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Instead, he kept on cruising.

142
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Right on down the road.

143
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000
You know, maybe he was like the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland.

144
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Ooh, I'm late, I'm late. We don't know. It doesn't really matter.

145
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:54,000
It's simply the fact that he saw this poor man beaten and left and ignored him.

146
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Like he didn't even exist, like he didn't matter.

147
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,000
He was too busy, like a lot of us.

148
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,000
We get caught up in what we're doing and we give that the priority.

149
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:11,000
We put on those blinders.

150
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:16,000
And we just keep going forward without paying any attention to anything else.

151
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,000
We don't give it the time of day.

152
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,000
Kind of like a racehorse on the track.

153
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Just going after that, that win, right? Going for the goal.

154
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:40,000
We get preoccupied with what's in front of us and forgot to put God at the forefront of our life to make sure God is involved.

155
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000
We miss the mark.

156
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,000
And then came the Levite.

157
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,000
A lot more of us can relate to him.

158
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Here he comes.

159
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Here's this dude.

160
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,000
He sees something's not right.

161
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,000
And what's he start doing?

162
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,000
He's rubber-necking.

163
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,000
What do we do when we see an accident or something on the side of the road?

164
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Ooh, what's going on over here?

165
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,000
We slow down.

166
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
We back traffic up for three miles.

167
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,000
People are late to work.

168
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,000
We're just too busy.

169
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,000
But we don't want to get involved, right?

170
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,000
We want to know what's going on.

171
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000
We want to see the cool flashing lights.

172
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Are the police here? Is fire here? Is the ambulance?

173
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,000
You know?

174
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Maybe we see something.

175
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Maybe we don't.

176
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,000
But we don't want to get involved.

177
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Just enough to get to our destination and be like, ooh, guess what I saw on the way to work?

178
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,000
Or maybe we can use it for an excuse and call our boss, hey, I'm running late.

179
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,000
There's an accident.

180
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Really, you know, they're kind of trying to scoot on by.

181
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:48,000
Maybe they get by quick, so they use the time to go and hit up a coffee shop on the way, right?

182
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,000
You know, that's pretty common these days.

183
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,000
But, you know, no thought is given.

184
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:04,000
And as Christians, as believers, the same thing happens to us because we fall into the same trap.

185
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:13,000
We treat this incident that we're coming across just like the Levi treated this victim on the middle of the road as a sideshow,

186
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:18,000
something to be looked at, driven past, and forgotten.

187
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Never giving thought, hey, who's there?

188
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Is there something I can do to help the situation?

189
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Is there something I can do to help the person?

190
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,000
Right?

191
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,000
It's like I don't see any first responders there.

192
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Is anybody calling 911?

193
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
I don't know, so maybe I should do it.

194
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:39,000
You know, or maybe I have the know-how to do something.

195
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:47,000
Or maybe I should just stop back here, hit my flashers, and divert traffic so that they don't keep trying to go into this porcel.

196
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,000
We're too busy.

197
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000
We're too preoccupied.

198
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:57,000
So we start looking for that way to get around traffic and get back on our merry way.

199
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Let it be someone else's problem, right?

200
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Good luck.

201
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Maybe you have the thought, oh, I'll pray for you.

202
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Is that everything you could have done, though?

203
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Is that everything you should have done?

204
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Then we have the Samaritan.

205
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,000
He comes by.

206
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,000
He doesn't know who this person is.

207
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,000
He doesn't know what's happened.

208
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:26,000
And just from reading this passage, the implication of it is that this victim is a Jew, which says something very specific,

209
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,000
because the Jews and the Samaritans were at odds.

210
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
They didn't like each other very much.

211
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:47,000
See, the Samaritans were Jews who married and had families with other tribes who were not Jewish after the Jewish exile, right?

212
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Whereas the Jews, for lack of better terminology, but it really does fit, saw themselves as the master race, who were God's chosen people.

213
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Sound a little familiar?

214
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Are not too distant past?

215
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,000
It happens.

216
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000
It happens.

217
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:20,000
So that right there is the background just for what's going on, which shows just how powerful what the Samaritan did is.

218
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,000
The Samaritan, he didn't let any of the past influence him.

219
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:31,000
He didn't let the culture or the race or anything else have an influence on what needed to be done.

220
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,000
Not the world, not society, none of it.

221
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:42,000
There was nothing there that was going to dictate what he was going to do next, other than the fact that he knew what the right thing was.

222
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:51,000
What God had set in his heart, the thing that God sets in our own heart, but we ignore all too often.

223
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,000
So he did the right thing.

224
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,000
He loved his neighbor.

225
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Remember, love is an action, not just a word.

226
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000
It's an action.

227
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,000
He picked him up.

228
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,000
He put him on his animal.

229
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,000
He took him to an inn.

230
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000
He saw to his wounds.

231
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,000
He paid for him to be put up in a place, right?

232
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,000
He paid for him to be put up in the inn.

233
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,000
So this thing is costing him money, right?

234
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000
This isn't coming at just a low expense either.

235
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,000
It's coming at a great cost to him.

236
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Because now he's using his time, his effort.

237
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,000
We've already looked at a little bit of the money.

238
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:31,000
How about the oil and the wine that he was treating his wounds with?

239
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:36,000
He puts them up in an inn, tells the innkeeper, hey, take care of this guy.

240
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Whatever it costs, I will repay you when I return.

241
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,000
So he's already expecting more cost.

242
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,000
So this is adding up very quickly.

243
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:59,000
And he's doing it all without any regard to what that cost is.

244
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,000
You know, he didn't take the detour.

245
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,000
He did the loving thing.

246
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,000
He did the right thing.

247
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,000
And when we look at the denarii that's mentioned here,

248
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,000
because it specifically says he gave the innkeeper two denarii.

249
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,000
This is Roman coin, Roman currency.

250
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:30,000
And at that time, one denarii was roughly what somebody would earn for a full day's work.

251
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,000
And he gave him two.

252
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:38,000
And the promise that he would repay him whatever other expenses were incurred.

253
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:46,000
So just from the time that he stopped, picked this guy up and took him to the inn,

254
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:53,000
he's already spent the better part of a week's worth of earnings.

255
00:23:53,000 --> 00:24:00,000
How many people in here would consider helping somebody at that kind of cost?

256
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:05,000
I'd venture to say that thought wouldn't go very far.

257
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,000
It's like, oh, I got bills to pay, I got food to put on the table.

258
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
I just I can't I can't afford I'll do what I can.

259
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:18,000
But drop, drop the guy off at you and him and be on our way.

260
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Right.

261
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,000
All too often.

262
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Where's the love?

263
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,000
Where's the light?

264
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Where's God?

265
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:44,000
When you have the ability to do something, you should do it because of our relationship with him.

266
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:52,000
You know, this going through and we're looking at the priest, we're looking at the Levi, we're looking at the Samaritan.

267
00:24:52,000 --> 00:25:00,000
It actually reminds me of an experience from my own life when my son was still a newborn.

268
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000
We had the family loaded up.

269
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,000
We're headed out of town to go to other family members house for.

270
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,000
In fact, I think it was Thanksgiving.

271
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,000
I can't remember exactly, but we're heading out.

272
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,000
We're right here on the freeway.

273
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,000
We're headed out west.

274
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,000
And this dude, he comes zipping along.

275
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,000
He's got a shiny sports car.

276
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:23,000
He's in and out, bobbing and weaving between cars going way too fast.

277
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Way too fast.

278
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,000
He gets up a little ways ahead of us.

279
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,000
I see him dart to the right.

280
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000
I lose sight of him for a second.

281
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Next thing I see, he's completely perpendicular to us.

282
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:43,000
He shoots straight across into that median wall and wrecks.

283
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,000
I'm already in the far left lane, mind you.

284
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:53,000
I'm the first car that was able to come to a stop once he cleared through all that.

285
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,000
I stopped.

286
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,000
I hit my flashers.

287
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,000
I get up.

288
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,000
I go to take care of this guy.

289
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,000
At this time, I still work for UNMPD, so some of my first aid skills are still pretty fresh,

290
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,000
but I'm not uniform.

291
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,000
I'm in my regular clothes.

292
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Nobody knows me from Joe Schmo.

293
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,000
I got a relative in the car.

294
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,000
They're calling 911.

295
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000
This guy, his car is totaled.

296
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Airbags are all deployed the whole nine yards.

297
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,000
It's done.

298
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,000
This guy's bleeding.

299
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,000
He's got injuries.

300
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,000
And the whole time I'm sitting there and I'm talking to him and I'm trying to comfort him

301
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,000
and calm him down, but hey, help's on the way.

302
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,000
Help's on the way.

303
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,000
And in the back of my head, I'm sitting here and I'm like, who's helping me?

304
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,000
Somebody needs to come and help me.

305
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000
This is a lot.

306
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Not a single other person got out of their car.

307
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:50,000
I didn't have help until the first police car arrived.

308
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:55,000
And that took some time because he hit that wall.

309
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,000
When he hit that wall, he didn't just hit it and stop.

310
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,000
He hit that wall and bounced back.

311
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,000
So two out of three lanes were blocked.

312
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,000
People are trying to get around on the far right side.

313
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,000
There's nobody on the far left able to move, maybe a few people here and there in the middle lane.

314
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000
And not a single person got out.

315
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:18,000
Once I was able to actually get up after I had a first responder there, you know, when the police arrived,

316
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:25,000
and not too long after, fire, we're still waiting on AMS, I was able to kind of take a look as I'm walking back to my van.

317
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,000
One person got out at that point.

318
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:33,000
None of them had their flashers on, not one to warn people, hey, there's something up here.

319
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:38,000
And that one person only got out to tell the police, hey, I saw the whole thing if you need a statement.

320
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:44,000
And then they hopped back in their car.

321
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,000
One incident.

322
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,000
A whole lot of priests and a whole lot of Levites.

323
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Now, I don't look at myself as a good Samaritan, just as I'm sure this good Samaritan wasn't looking at himself as just being a good person.

324
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,000
It was hopping out and doing the right thing for the right reason.

325
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:06,000
For doing whatever I could with what I had, which wasn't much.

326
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:12,000
But most of us see something and we just want to cruise on by.

327
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,000
And that's life.

328
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,000
That's what we do.

329
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:23,000
Modern day priests, modern day Levites, you know, the priests are cruising on by, ignoring it, the Levites are rubbernecking,

330
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:29,000
and maybe you have one or two people that actually get out to do what needs to be done.

331
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:41,000
All the more reason we need to pray for our first responders out there, because all too often they're the only person that's actually getting out and doing anything.

332
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:49,000
Which by now, I'm sure you've been reflecting on that video we watched when we started.

333
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:54,000
That illustration is coming back through and it's meaning a little bit more. What would I do?

334
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:59,000
What should I do? What could I do in that situation if it was me?

335
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:06,000
But we come in these kind of things all the time in our lives.

336
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000
So in case you forgot the video, let me refresh your memory here.

337
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,000
We have a young man.

338
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,000
He's getting beaten by a bully.

339
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:19,000
Here comes a passerby and the boy is like, what are you going to do?

340
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,000
We're all that passerby.

341
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,000
So what are you going to do?

342
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:33,000
What are you going to do that's going to reflect God's love and God's light?

343
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:41,000
What are you going to do to shine glory on the Lord?

344
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,000
It's a hard thought.

345
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:50,000
But we all have to decide who we're going to be and who we're going to love.

346
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Which leads us to Luke 10, 36 through 37.

347
00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:03,000
The word says, So which of these three do you think was a neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?

348
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:12,000
And he said, He who showed mercy on him, and Jesus said to him, Go and do likewise.

349
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,000
Go and do likewise.

350
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:20,000
This is the same thing that God, that Jesus is telling you and is telling me.

351
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Go and love others like you love me.

352
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Go and treat others the way you would treat me.

353
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Right?

354
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,000
We forget about the golden rule.

355
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Treat others as you want to be treated.

356
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,000
You know, we have to show the world the love of Christ.

357
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:42,000
And we can't be legalistic about it saying I can do it for these people, but not these people.

358
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:46,000
There's not a cookie cutter mold when it comes to loving our neighbor.

359
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:51,000
We're told to love everybody, whether they're a believer or not.

360
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,000
That's the whole reason why Jesus went to the cross was to bring down those walls,

361
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:03,000
to cut out the division and to reunite us all, not just with God, but with each other.

362
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,000
Again, we do this because we want to.

363
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:15,000
Because when you love Christ with all your heart, you're going to love your neighbor with all your heart.

364
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:28,000
And when you see something that's wrong, that's going to break your heart just as our sin broke Christ's heart.

365
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:37,000
We do the right thing, not only because it's the right thing to do, but because of what God has done for us,

366
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:47,000
what Christ did for us and what the Holy Spirit continues to do in us with that daily conviction,

367
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:56,000
guiding our steps, whispering to us gently in the back of our mind, Hey, are you sure you want to do that?

368
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:01,000
I bet you don't. So why don't we do this instead?

369
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,000
Maybe we don't have that answer, so we have to pray. We need to ask the Holy Spirit.

370
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:09,000
Hey, you're right. I don't want to do it, but I don't know what I want to do.

371
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:18,000
What should I do? Talk to me. Tell me.

372
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Let's turn now to 1 John chapter 4.

373
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:27,000
1 John chapter 4, verses 17 through 19.

374
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:35,000
So 1 John 4, 17 through 19, the word says, Love has been perfected among us in this,

375
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:46,000
that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, so are we in this world.

376
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:55,000
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear because fear involves torment.

377
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:01,000
But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

378
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:10,000
We love him because he first loved us. Love starts with God.

379
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:22,000
It starts with our connection with God. God is love, and he created each and every one of us, you and me, in love.

380
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:30,000
He sacrificed in love.

381
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:43,000
And when we realize this, and we have the relationship, and we feel it inside, and we grow in it, and we grow in our relationship with Christ,

382
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:52,000
that fear that we all have from our humanists starts to go away. It shrinks more and more all the time.

383
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:58,000
And so it gets to that point where that fear that we once had is no longer there. It is gone.

384
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:03,000
We're not afraid to stand up to the bully and say, Hey, knock it off. What you're doing is wrong.

385
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:14,000
We're not afraid to call people out on the sins in their own lives, saying, Hey, yes, I've messed up, but you know what? You're messing up, too.

386
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:24,000
We're not afraid to speak to those who are down and out.

387
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Right?

388
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:35,000
We're not afraid of it. We're not afraid of what the world thinks of us anymore,

389
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:45,000
because what the world thinks of us no longer matters. It's only what Christ thinks of us.

390
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:58,000
That fear is pushed out because it doesn't belong to us. It was never given to us by God.

391
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:05,000
It was never supposed to be a part of us. It's a tool of the enemy.

392
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:11,000
And that's who it belongs to, because the enemy is the one who should be fearful, because they know where they're going,

393
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:17,000
whether they fool themselves into thinking that they can take over or not. They're going to end up in that pit.

394
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:28,000
So they absolutely should be fearful. Not trying to put that into us, trying to convince us to go down with them.

395
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:44,000
Which is why in 2 Timothy 1 7, the word says, For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

396
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:49,000
That one right there, that's a good one to underline, highlight, make a note next to.

397
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:54,000
I know a lot of people put it out there, but it really is a good one to meditate on.

398
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:59,000
Because when you love others and you love God and you grow in that relationship, that fear goes out.

399
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:08,000
This right here, those little moments when the enemy attacks you and you start feeling that anxiety seep in,

400
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:15,000
this is a good verse, some good scripture to throw at the enemy.

401
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:20,000
We have to stop letting the enemy have that foothold in our hearts and our minds.

402
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:25,000
You think of those old wartime movies, oh, we're out here winning hearts and minds.

403
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:33,000
God's winning hearts and minds. The enemy is destroying them.

404
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:42,000
We have to start praying. We have to start depending on God fully to give us the means to overcome those things that bring us fear,

405
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:47,000
that bring us anxiety, that bring us doubt.

406
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:53,000
That help to overcome the hate and the discontent, not just in the world, but what comes into our own lives,

407
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:58,000
what comes into our own hearts and hardens them.

408
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:03,000
We have to start to fall in love with people all over again. And for children, it's a lot easier.

409
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:08,000
Children are really close to God's heart. They're very innocent. They don't know.

410
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,000
And they don't know what they don't know. They don't even know that much.

411
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:18,000
But as adults, our hearts harden because we do start to know, we start seeing things, we start doing things,

412
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:24,000
and we become very jaded in our own lives. Our hearts harden.

413
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:32,000
And it gets really tough to soften them again. It gets really hard to see Christ again.

414
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:39,000
It gets really hard to hear God or the Holy Spirit when he's talking to us.

415
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:44,000
It's even harder when we stop opening our Bible.

416
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:54,000
Because that's where he starts. In his word.

417
00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:00,000
You know, we get scarred by the world. The world isn't going to love us.

418
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:07,000
The world doesn't have to love us. Because if the prince of this world, it can't love us.

419
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,000
It just can't.

420
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:21,000
But even with that said, people don't have to love you in order for you to love them.

421
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:28,000
We've all been at that point in our lives where we needed someone to stick out a hand and give us that hand up to love us.

422
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:38,000
And sometimes we've waited. Oh, man, we've waited a long time to get that hand.

423
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,000
Let that sink in for a minute.

424
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:46,000
Because we've all been that victim waiting for that Samaritan to give us a hand up.

425
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:51,000
So why can't we be the Samaritan when it comes our turn?

426
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,000
You know, you've heard it before. I've said it before. Other people have said it.

427
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,000
The way we live our lives, the way we interact with others, the way we love others,

428
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:03,000
is all a lot of people are ever going to know of Christ and his love.

429
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,000
It's all a lot of people are ever going to know of the Bible.

430
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:17,000
So why not open that Bible up and let it fill them? Let it fill them.

431
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,000
You know, are we going to be that priest cruising through life?

432
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:26,000
Are we going to be that Levite rubbernecking along the way?

433
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:31,000
Are we going to be that Samaritan reflecting the love that's in each and every one of us?

434
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:37,000
Which brings us to 1 Corinthians 16, 14. So 1 Corinthians 16, 14, very simple.

435
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:42,000
This is another one. Matter of fact, I've already highlighted it on the slide.

436
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:47,000
Let all that you do be done in love.

437
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:52,000
Do everything in love. God is love.

438
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:57,000
So to do everything with love means that we're putting God first.

439
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:02,000
We're letting God lead us in how to do these things.

440
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:06,000
And if we're not at that point where we could do things yet, then we're letting him lead the way to soften our hearts

441
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:12,000
and overcome the issues we have to bring down these walls that we all build up in our lives.

442
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:17,000
To allow Christ's sacrifice served the purpose that it was intended and to bring out that division

443
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:24,000
to reunite us all with one another and with God.

444
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:37,000
If someone can lay down their life for all time, we could sacrifice what we have to help someone else.

445
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:42,000
You know, sometimes, you know, I say it's time for us to fall in love with our neighbor.

446
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Sometimes it's hard.

447
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:50,000
So we're going to love our neighbor. Part of that is forgiving, right?

448
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:55,000
And we have to forgive over and over and over because their heart is so hardened, they're so attuned to the world,

449
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,000
they're going to keep messing up, they're going to keep doing wrongs.

450
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:06,000
But you know what? Hey, keep loving on them, keep praying on them.

451
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,000
Because your prayer, your love might be the only thing that's acting in intercession for them.

452
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:15,000
It might be the only thing that brings them to Christ.

453
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:20,000
So do everything in love. Be willing to give up your time.

454
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Be willing to make the effort. If you have something else that you can give up that's going to help someone, do it.

455
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:32,000
Because the secret ingredient in life is just like the secret ingredient in a kitchen.

456
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,000
It's love.

457
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:40,000
Let us pray.

458
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,000
Lord, we thank you for loving us first.

459
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:47,000
For teaching us love that is your character.

460
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:54,000
We ask that you help us not only to grow in it, but to learn to let yours shine for others to see.

461
00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:02,000
That it be a light for others to come to know you and in return reflect even more light into an otherwise dark world.

462
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:08,000
That the things that we say, the things that we do, not just start with you,

463
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:15,000
but never stray, that they go from the beginning to the end with you.

464
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:23,000
As your world tells us, let the light shine, excuse me, let the light in us shine before men.

465
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:31,000
This way others can come to heal. Others can come and bask in the warmth and the glow that is you.

466
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:37,000
And that everything that we do brings glory to you and not ourselves.

467
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:45,000
That we recognize and we remember the sacrifice that you made that broke us from the bondage of sin.

468
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:52,000
That gave us a chance to be reunited and adopted into your family.

469
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:57,000
And the example it set for us to follow.

470
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:01,000
All those people said, Amen.

471
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:05,000
