1 00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:15,150 Karen Beilharz: Welcome to Moore in the Word, a podcast of Moore Theological College in Sydney, Australia, 2 00:00:15,420 --> 00:00:21,665 that seeks to glorify God through biblically sound, thought-provoking and challenging talks and interviews. 3 00:00:22,530 --> 00:00:30,505 In this episode, from a chapel service held on Tuesday 20th of May, 2025, David Höhne, Academic Dean 4 00:00:30,505 --> 00:00:35,935 and Lecturer in the Theology, Philosophy and Ethics department at Moore Theological College, speaks on 5 00:00:35,935 --> 00:00:43,644 Luke 7:18-35, and Jesus' conversation with John the Baptist's disciples and with the witnessing crowd. 6 00:00:44,739 --> 00:00:52,360 David reminds us that wisdom is vindicated by her children and that the wisdom of God is ultimately found in Christ Jesus himself. 7 00:00:53,290 --> 00:00:54,940 We hope you find the episode helpful. 8 00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:08,770 David Höhne: Well, after receiving a threefold warning to stay in my lane from student sermons in men's chapel last Wednesday, 9 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:19,420 i've decided to focus our time together today on Luke seven 18 to 35, our New Testament reading. 10 00:01:25,230 --> 00:01:31,800 This morning we'll be considering more of how Christ Jesus deconstructs human concepts of faith. 11 00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:35,100 But there'll be no jokes about French philosophers. 12 00:01:35,460 --> 00:01:43,080 The vice principal warned me that with engineers and uh, allied health workers in the room, there could be safe ministry issues. 13 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,290 So we have to look after the vulnerable. 14 00:01:52,665 --> 00:02:03,675 So here we are in Luke chapter seven, and the movement that Jesus has started last time we were together is now well underway. 15 00:02:05,025 --> 00:02:15,855 Yet, as I noted last week, the Jesus movement is only one of the groups amongst several others who were caught up in the wake of this great prophet. 16 00:02:16,260 --> 00:02:20,430 Through whom God visits his people as they acknowledge. 17 00:02:20,430 --> 00:02:26,580 In Luke seven verse 16, the crowd swarm around Jesus. 18 00:02:26,910 --> 00:02:34,920 Like so many insects around a fluorescent globe, the shallowness of their incessant jostling and bustling is 19 00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:42,930 highlighted by the unexpected moments of intimate encounter between Jesus and seemingly random individuals. 20 00:02:43,785 --> 00:02:47,835 Like the Gentile centurion, Luke seven, verse nine. 21 00:02:48,705 --> 00:02:54,075 Jesus heard the words of the centurion and was amazed at him and turned to the crowds following him. 22 00:02:54,165 --> 00:02:59,115 He said, I tell you, I've not found so great of faith even in Israel. 23 00:03:02,220 --> 00:03:09,705 Then there's the achingly beautiful tale of the sinful woman who found salvation through self-abasement. 24 00:03:10,515 --> 00:03:18,315 In chapter seven verse 38, she stood behind Jesus at his feet, weeping and began to wash his feet With her 25 00:03:18,315 --> 00:03:27,105 tears, she wiped his feet with her hair of her head, kissing them and anointing them with fragrant oil. 26 00:03:30,675 --> 00:03:36,345 Well, our attention this morning is on John the Baptist, the Ryan Gosling of the Gospel Stories. 27 00:03:39,209 --> 00:03:39,839 Yeah, it's right. 28 00:03:39,839 --> 00:03:40,410 It isn't it? 29 00:03:42,809 --> 00:03:44,250 When I was a kid it was Tolton. 30 00:03:44,250 --> 00:03:44,670 Heston. 31 00:03:45,089 --> 00:03:46,230 Oh, mighty God. 32 00:03:48,750 --> 00:03:51,359 Not like the creepy John of the chosen series. 33 00:03:52,890 --> 00:03:54,510 This was a hairy, tested John. 34 00:03:55,109 --> 00:03:57,239 So, but I chose Ryan Gosling for today. 35 00:03:58,685 --> 00:04:01,505 So let's get back to the Bible. 36 00:04:07,020 --> 00:04:13,530 There are three important questions in this passage that help us out understand 37 00:04:13,530 --> 00:04:18,750 how the wisdom of God is vindicated against the disdain of the devoted. 38 00:04:19,649 --> 00:04:25,860 What we're looking for is how the wisdom of God is vindicated against the disdain of the devoted. 39 00:04:26,820 --> 00:04:29,040 But before we get into that, let's pray together. 40 00:04:30,810 --> 00:04:39,659 Our great God and loving heavenly Father, we pray that in the power of your spirit, we might indeed see Jesus and hear his voice and so be saved. 41 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:40,620 Amen. 42 00:04:42,060 --> 00:04:49,830 So firstly, wisdom's first vindication to revolt is human to regenerate. 43 00:04:49,860 --> 00:04:53,880 His divine to revolt is human to regenerate. 44 00:04:54,750 --> 00:04:55,290 Divine. 45 00:04:55,290 --> 00:05:00,150 The first question that Jesus asked or is asked of Jesus is in verse 20 of 46 00:05:00,150 --> 00:05:06,990 chapter seven, are you the one who is to come or should we expect someone else? 47 00:05:08,550 --> 00:05:14,085 The characterization of John the Baptist in Luke's account begins with spectacles, angels, 48 00:05:14,305 --> 00:05:21,750 and miracles, not unlike the Lord himself, but by the time we get to chapter seven. 49 00:05:22,604 --> 00:05:28,815 John's presence in the narrative and possibly his prophetic patience seemed to have diminished. 50 00:05:30,344 --> 00:05:32,205 Are you the one who is to come, 51 00:05:34,635 --> 00:05:36,675 or should we expect someone else? 52 00:05:38,294 --> 00:05:46,875 Is this uncertainty we hear from the mouth of the prophet, like Elijah complaining to the Lord that he was all alone and ready to die. 53 00:05:48,719 --> 00:05:53,310 If it is, it's a far cry from the she Guevara missing demands of chapter three. 54 00:05:54,030 --> 00:05:56,039 Let me remind you, Luke three, seven. 55 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:02,729 John said to the crowds who came out to be baptized by him, brood of vipers, who warned 56 00:06:02,729 --> 00:06:08,280 you to flee from the coming wr. Therefore produce fruit consistent with repentance. 57 00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:16,469 And don't start saying to yourselves, we have Abraham as our father for I tell you that God can raise children for Abraham from these stones. 58 00:06:17,055 --> 00:06:19,305 The acts is already at the root of the trees. 59 00:06:19,575 --> 00:06:25,155 Therefore, every tree that doesn't produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. 60 00:06:27,555 --> 00:06:32,475 Back then, the Baptizer knew his place in the unfolding plans of God. 61 00:06:33,375 --> 00:06:37,455 When asked if he was the Messiah, his reply was more mystery and mayhem. 62 00:06:38,265 --> 00:06:39,585 Chapter three, verse 16. 63 00:06:39,585 --> 00:06:41,175 I baptize you with water. 64 00:06:41,895 --> 00:06:44,655 For one who is more powerful than I am is coming. 65 00:06:44,655 --> 00:06:47,805 I'm not worthy to untie the straps of his sandals. 66 00:06:48,165 --> 00:06:51,285 He will baptize you with a Holy Spirit and fire. 67 00:06:51,585 --> 00:06:56,385 His winnowing shovel is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and gather the 68 00:06:56,385 --> 00:07:01,665 weed into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with fire that never goes out 69 00:07:07,365 --> 00:07:08,595 here in chapter seven. 70 00:07:09,135 --> 00:07:11,085 John's been in prison for a while now. 71 00:07:12,750 --> 00:07:19,500 The cost of preparing the way for the Lord in moral and political terms has perhaps taken a toll. 72 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:28,530 The kingdom of God has not put imperial occupation or despotic rule to the sword in a fiery blaze of glory. 73 00:07:30,630 --> 00:07:35,160 Instead of history, suddenly ceasing in some kind of apocalyptic disaster, 74 00:07:37,410 --> 00:07:39,930 passion and devotion have met their real foe. 75 00:07:41,445 --> 00:07:44,445 Time waiting 76 00:07:46,515 --> 00:07:48,344 and the wisdom of the Christ. 77 00:07:50,175 --> 00:07:54,974 The Christ has come as Isaiah foresaw, but to give life rather than to take it. 78 00:07:56,205 --> 00:08:04,575 And so he informs John in chapter seven, verse 22, the blind receive their sight, the lame walk. 79 00:08:05,534 --> 00:08:07,425 Those with leprosy are cleansed. 80 00:08:07,485 --> 00:08:09,735 The deaf here, the debtor raised. 81 00:08:10,650 --> 00:08:17,580 The poorer told the good news, and blessed is the one who isn't offended by me. 82 00:08:19,410 --> 00:08:25,620 I am the one you sought, but my ministry isn't as small as you expected. 83 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:35,220 Humans think that change only comes through revolution, but God intends to bring change through regeneration. 84 00:08:37,065 --> 00:08:41,175 Look again at how Jesus message to John ends in verse 23. 85 00:08:43,575 --> 00:08:50,835 It's a pretty remarkable thing to say to the devoted, lest is the one who isn't offended by me. 86 00:08:53,835 --> 00:09:04,515 It's what we expect to say to unbelievers or antagonists, or outsiders, but this is a message that Jesus passes on to the Baptist. 87 00:09:05,985 --> 00:09:09,075 To his cousin, one born. 88 00:09:09,075 --> 00:09:14,565 Also from a message of angels and blessed from an early age with the power of the spirit. 89 00:09:17,775 --> 00:09:23,775 Even so, Jesus tells John, the kingdom is never late, nor is it early. 90 00:09:23,775 --> 00:09:29,295 It arrives precisely when he means to and in his chosen manner. 91 00:09:32,729 --> 00:09:39,270 I've had quite a few conversations with the young, restless and reformed setting me straight, about four years of 92 00:09:39,270 --> 00:09:48,630 theological education or even one wasting precious time when there's so much evangelism to be done, to flee the coming Roth 93 00:09:51,630 --> 00:09:54,660 in an era of instant gratification for the bourgeois. 94 00:09:55,094 --> 00:10:04,484 Where feelings and dreams must never be denied, and entrusting yourself to the wisdom of God is disempowering at best, cruel, and unusual punishment. 95 00:10:04,484 --> 00:10:05,084 At worst. 96 00:10:06,495 --> 00:10:19,040 The Lord says, blessed is the one who isn't offended by me, by my timing, by how I allow you to participate in my ministry. 97 00:10:22,290 --> 00:10:26,670 Wisdom is vindicated by her children because they wait on her timing 98 00:10:29,970 --> 00:10:35,670 and wisdom is vindicated a second time because it's the righteous who are first to repent. 99 00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:41,760 The next lesson the Lord wants us to learn is introduced in the following question. 100 00:10:43,620 --> 00:10:46,290 What did you go out into the wilderness to see? 101 00:10:47,790 --> 00:10:49,500 Chapter seven verse 24. 102 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:59,550 Now, if we thought perhaps that John the Baptist was getting a serve earlier, Jesus turns his real criticism to the crowds. 103 00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:06,150 That chameleon character in the gospel of Luke, who loves to run with the miracles and hunt with the Pharisees, but 104 00:11:09,810 --> 00:11:14,190 the wisdom of God deconstructs the crowd's faith in lifestyle leaders. 105 00:11:14,190 --> 00:11:15,570 Look at verse 24. 106 00:11:17,655 --> 00:11:22,845 What did you go out into the wilderness to see a reed swaying in the wind? 107 00:11:23,745 --> 00:11:27,375 What then did you go out to see a man dressed in soft clothes? 108 00:11:28,815 --> 00:11:33,045 Those who are splendidly, dressed and lived in luxury are in royal palaces. 109 00:11:34,485 --> 00:11:37,560 John's moral authority doesn't come from finery and flattery. 110 00:11:38,819 --> 00:11:45,780 He was, in fact an old time, hardcore scrutineer of Israel's leaders and their soft idolatrous underbelly. 111 00:11:47,250 --> 00:11:51,930 Moreover, John the Baptist is no snowflake, whining like a narcissist about 112 00:11:51,930 --> 00:11:57,630 imagined obstacles to a life of promise, what God owes him for his ministry. 113 00:11:59,790 --> 00:12:02,910 Verse 26, what did you go out to see your prophet? 114 00:12:03,405 --> 00:12:12,525 Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet, John was indeed the very herald of Yahweh for foreseen by Malachi verse 27. 115 00:12:12,525 --> 00:12:14,714 This is the one about whom it is written. 116 00:12:14,954 --> 00:12:17,324 See, I'm sending my messenger ahead of you. 117 00:12:17,564 --> 00:12:19,604 He will prepare your way before me. 118 00:12:19,935 --> 00:12:25,155 I tell you, among those born of women, no one is greater than John. 119 00:12:29,355 --> 00:12:34,815 John is the last and greatest of those sent to point to the coming of the Lord and his Christ. 120 00:12:35,145 --> 00:12:39,735 As Jesus mentions later in chapter 16, the law and the prophets were until John. 121 00:12:40,125 --> 00:12:43,875 Since then, the good news of the kingdom of God has been proclaimed. 122 00:12:45,675 --> 00:12:56,295 Christ's answer to his own question about John clarifies the way of God's righteousness, the unrepentant, uh, the enemies of God's salvation. 123 00:12:57,465 --> 00:13:06,465 Look at verse 29 there, and when all the people, including the tax collectors heard this, they acknowledged God's way of righteousness because they'd 124 00:13:06,465 --> 00:13:19,155 been baptized with John's baptism, but since he had not baptized the Pharisees and experts in the law, they rejected the plan of God for themselves. 125 00:13:19,875 --> 00:13:22,575 They rejected the plan of God for themselves. 126 00:13:23,340 --> 00:13:29,250 The leaders of Israel, the teachers of the law, the ones devoted to Moses, 127 00:13:32,250 --> 00:13:41,310 the baptism of repentance from John is not the spirit of regeneration that comes from the Christ, but it does reveal those who have no desire. 128 00:13:41,310 --> 00:13:42,360 For God's wisdom, 129 00:13:45,300 --> 00:13:50,370 wisdom is vindicated by her children here because the righteous are the first to repent. 130 00:13:52,980 --> 00:14:02,730 Fundamental to the character, conviction and competency of ministry is the capacity to repent wisdom's. 131 00:14:02,730 --> 00:14:07,860 Third vindication is the fools don't know grace when they see it. 132 00:14:09,990 --> 00:14:14,400 The third of wisdom's lessons comes from another question put to the people by Jesus. 133 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:15,689 Look at verse 31. 134 00:14:16,740 --> 00:14:21,210 To what then should I compare the people of this generation and what are they like 135 00:14:24,150 --> 00:14:26,640 if we think the crowd is on side with Jesus? 136 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:31,800 Through his association with John, the Lord asks a third question that suggests a 137 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:38,730 deep contrarians in the crowd, the childish and spiteful dark side of mom mentality. 138 00:14:39,975 --> 00:14:41,055 Verse 32. 139 00:14:41,085 --> 00:14:41,925 What are they like? 140 00:14:42,435 --> 00:14:45,945 They're like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to each other. 141 00:14:46,425 --> 00:14:49,425 We played the fruit for you, but you didn't dance. 142 00:14:49,425 --> 00:14:51,795 And we sang a lament, but you didn't weep 143 00:14:54,255 --> 00:14:57,735 for John the Baptist did not come eating bread or drinking wine. 144 00:14:57,735 --> 00:14:59,745 And you say he has a demon. 145 00:15:00,675 --> 00:15:07,425 The son of man has come eating and drinking and you say, look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners. 146 00:15:12,075 --> 00:15:20,145 Genuine understanding for the crowds and their leaders is as reliable as a social media stacks on where every reactive 147 00:15:20,145 --> 00:15:27,915 assertion is followed by the blazing hot Twitter rage as the one who was on the internet is wrong, is virtually hung, 148 00:15:27,915 --> 00:15:35,925 drawn, and quoted where people speak according to the flesh, things they would never have the courage to say in the flesh. 149 00:15:37,230 --> 00:15:38,700 Jesus quotation here. 150 00:15:38,700 --> 00:15:42,300 His question is highly reminiscent of the description of God's wisdom. 151 00:15:42,300 --> 00:15:46,980 In the beginning of Proverbs, let me remind you from Proverbs one 20. 152 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,560 Wisdom calls out in the street. 153 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,200 She makes her voice heard in the public squares. 154 00:15:52,500 --> 00:15:57,420 She cries out above the commotion, she speaks at the entrance of the city gates. 155 00:15:57,990 --> 00:16:00,630 How long inexperienced ones will you love? 156 00:16:00,630 --> 00:16:01,290 Ignorance. 157 00:16:01,290 --> 00:16:05,670 How long will you mockers enjoy mocking and you fools hate knowledge. 158 00:16:07,815 --> 00:16:12,555 As Jesus says, wisdom is vindicated by her children. 159 00:16:15,405 --> 00:16:20,715 Now, Jesus is associated with wisdom in several important times throughout Luke's narrative. 160 00:16:21,525 --> 00:16:24,435 His childhood is marked by wisdom and the grace of God. 161 00:16:24,435 --> 00:16:33,975 In chapter two, verse 40, in chapter 11, verse 31, we're told something greater than the wisdom of Solomon is here in Jesus. 162 00:16:35,070 --> 00:16:39,660 And in the seven woes spoke to the Jewish leaders in chapter 1149. 163 00:16:40,140 --> 00:16:43,980 The wisdom of God said, I will send them prophets and apostles. 164 00:16:44,220 --> 00:16:47,460 Some of them they will kill and persecute 165 00:16:49,710 --> 00:16:51,390 here, especially in chapter 11. 166 00:16:51,390 --> 00:17:00,300 Jesus announces that the failure of the men or leaders of Israel to recognize the wisdom of God among them, results in their condemnation. 167 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:08,250 The fools who don't know a good thing when they seek it, don't just miss out. 168 00:17:09,390 --> 00:17:14,160 They risk the condemnation of God for rejecting his grace towards them. 169 00:17:17,340 --> 00:17:22,170 Now, the significance of all this, of course, is summed up later by the Apostle Paul 170 00:17:22,620 --> 00:17:27,180 who was given the task of revealing the mystery of God's wisdom found in the cross. 171 00:17:28,395 --> 00:17:31,125 Jews ask for signs and Greeks seek wisdom. 172 00:17:31,485 --> 00:17:38,054 Yet, to those who are called both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. 173 00:17:39,044 --> 00:17:45,284 We speak God's hidden wisdom in a mystery, a wisdom God predestined before the ages for our glory. 174 00:17:45,615 --> 00:17:53,955 None of the rulers of this age knew this wisdom because if they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 175 00:17:56,925 --> 00:18:00,794 The wisdom of God deconstructs the faith of the world at the cross. 176 00:18:01,274 --> 00:18:09,044 For there the sum of all human aspiration and piety is on display in the form of the battered and bloodied king of the Jews. 177 00:18:09,885 --> 00:18:12,110 He becomes what we truly are 178 00:18:15,100 --> 00:18:16,814 in his wisdom and grace. 179 00:18:16,814 --> 00:18:22,004 As Bonhoeffer put it, God lets himself be pushed out of the world and onto the cross. 180 00:18:23,085 --> 00:18:24,915 To save us from our own folly. 181 00:18:24,915 --> 00:18:30,105 He has nails put in his hands and feet so that we can't push him any further away. 182 00:18:33,254 --> 00:18:38,385 And so Jesus says, wisdom is vindicated by all her children. 183 00:18:40,245 --> 00:18:51,195 The wisdom of God is regeneration before revolution, where the righteous are the first to repent and grace does not go unrecognized and unappreciated. 184 00:18:53,850 --> 00:18:56,790 Squabbles between fruitfulness and faithfulness. 185 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,149 Wisdom is vindicated by her children 186 00:19:03,030 --> 00:19:06,000 as we too have to wait on the timing of the Lord. 187 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:11,250 For our ministries, wisdom is vindicated by her children. 188 00:19:11,985 --> 00:19:19,425 When we feel that we are suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, because we've simply had to comply with a larger 189 00:19:19,425 --> 00:19:29,625 program in a ministry context, whether it was the Rector's vision, the campus leaders' design, or the mission director's imperative, 190 00:19:31,635 --> 00:19:34,520 wisdom is vindicated by her children. 191 00:19:36,675 --> 00:19:39,975 When we take the initiative to repent in times of conflict. 192 00:19:41,115 --> 00:19:44,445 Wisdom is vindicated by her children, 193 00:19:47,504 --> 00:19:56,445 or even when we have the opportunity to give feedback on the service we have received, wisdom is vindicated by her children. 194 00:19:58,844 --> 00:20:00,495 Let's pray that that'll be true of us, 195 00:20:05,324 --> 00:20:07,395 our gracious God, and loving heavenly Father. 196 00:20:10,304 --> 00:20:14,534 You sent your son as your wisdom incarnate, 197 00:20:17,115 --> 00:20:28,215 and we banded together with unrighteous men and showed our aspiration for power and our religious devotion by nailing him to a cross. 198 00:20:29,745 --> 00:20:33,044 And yet, in your immeasurable grace, this was your wisdom. 199 00:20:35,655 --> 00:20:39,044 Father, empower us to be wisdom's children. 200 00:20:40,035 --> 00:20:43,004 To respond to your grace for Jesus' sake. 201 00:20:45,715 --> 00:20:49,725 Amen. 202 00:20:52,035 --> 00:20:56,715 Karen Beilharz: Thank you for listening to Moore in the Word, a podcast of Moore Theological College. 203 00:20:57,330 --> 00:21:01,980 Our vision as a College is to see God glorified by men and women living for 204 00:21:01,980 --> 00:21:06,660 and proclaiming Jesus Christ, growing healthy churches and reaching the lost. 205 00:21:07,050 --> 00:21:12,240 We invite you to attend any of our upcoming events, including this one that's happening at Moore College. 206 00:21:12,540 --> 00:21:19,275 Since 1977, the Annual Moore College Lectures have showcased leading contemporary biblical and theological 207 00:21:19,275 --> 00:21:25,575 scholarship on topics ranging from "A theology of the Christian life" with Kelly Kapic, "The use of the Pentateuch 208 00:21:25,575 --> 00:21:31,765 in the New Testament" with T Desmond Alexander, and last year's series on the Book of Galatians with Tom Schreiner. 209 00:21:32,865 --> 00:21:37,515 This year, Peter Orr, Lecturer in the New Testament Department at Moore Theological 210 00:21:37,515 --> 00:21:43,245 College, will be delivering the 2025 Annual Moore College Lectures on the topic of faith. 211 00:21:43,950 --> 00:21:44,880 What is faith? 212 00:21:45,300 --> 00:21:47,130 Is faith without knowledge still faith? 213 00:21:47,730 --> 00:21:54,120 What did Jesus mean when he said that if we have faith as small as a mustard seed, we can uproot a tree or move a mountain? 214 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,970 And why does Paul tell us that we are declared right with God by faith, apart from works of the 215 00:21:59,970 --> 00:22:05,910 law in Romans, while James insists that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone? 216 00:22:07,005 --> 00:22:12,585 Join us on the mornings of Monday the 4th to Friday the 8th of August, and hear from Peter 217 00:22:12,585 --> 00:22:17,865 Orr how God provides us with an unfolding revelation of faith across the whole Bible. 218 00:22:18,555 -->
