[1035.76 --> 1036.12] restoration, |
[1036.46 --> 1037.06] and freedom. |
[1038.18 --> 1040.06] And as a freed people, |
[1040.18 --> 1041.60] we are a freed people, |
[1042.28 --> 1043.80] we get to proclaim |
[1043.80 --> 1044.96] the year of the Lord's favor |
[1044.96 --> 1046.50] and reflect that light |
[1046.50 --> 1047.30] to the world |
[1047.30 --> 1048.26] that is in darkness. |
[1048.26 --> 1050.60] because the poor, |
[1050.76 --> 1051.32] the oppressed, |
[1051.52 --> 1052.44] and the blind |
[1052.44 --> 1053.46] in our day, |
[1053.66 --> 1054.56] including us, |
[1055.02 --> 1056.38] desperately need |
[1056.38 --> 1057.40] the good news |
[1057.40 --> 1058.26] of Jesus Christ. |
[1062.66 --> 1063.16] Now, |
[1063.20 --> 1063.48] I don't know |
[1063.48 --> 1064.28] who you think of |
[1064.28 --> 1064.86] when you think |
[1064.86 --> 1065.52] poor, |
[1065.82 --> 1066.12] blind, |
[1066.22 --> 1066.62] oppressed. |
[1067.28 --> 1068.62] Somebody who needs, |
[1068.86 --> 1069.86] desperately needs |
[1069.86 --> 1070.86] the good news |
[1070.86 --> 1071.62] of Jesus Christ. |
[1071.62 --> 1077.08] So, |
[1077.16 --> 1078.06] our modern day poor, |
[1078.70 --> 1079.92] I suggest, |
[1080.86 --> 1081.90] both economically |
[1081.90 --> 1082.68] and spiritually, |
[1083.36 --> 1084.34] suffering through |
[1084.34 --> 1085.26] attempts at trying |
[1085.26 --> 1086.06] to satisfy |
[1086.06 --> 1087.22] deep longing |
[1087.22 --> 1088.22] and true happiness |
[1088.22 --> 1089.36] with anything |
[1089.36 --> 1090.40] and everything |
[1090.40 --> 1091.58] other than God. |
[1093.66 --> 1094.82] That's what it means |
[1094.82 --> 1095.42] to be poor, |
[1095.50 --> 1095.70] right? |
[1097.38 --> 1098.76] God is the answer, |
[1098.90 --> 1100.06] but we try to satisfy |
[1100.06 --> 1100.72] our needs |
[1100.72 --> 1102.26] with everything |
[1102.26 --> 1103.16] other than God. |
[1104.54 --> 1105.22] And also, |
[1105.50 --> 1106.26] in our culture |
[1106.26 --> 1107.92] of hyper-individualism, |
[1108.62 --> 1109.86] self-centeredness, |
[1110.36 --> 1111.08] the blind, |
[1111.72 --> 1112.98] our modern day blind, |
[1113.24 --> 1114.96] that fail to see God |
[1114.96 --> 1115.98] and the needs |
[1115.98 --> 1116.58] of others. |
[1117.66 --> 1118.18] And then, |
[1118.30 --> 1119.22] from this blindness, |
[1120.10 --> 1121.06] also the blindness |
[1121.06 --> 1122.18] that fail to see |
[1122.18 --> 1123.42] our own captivity |
[1123.42 --> 1124.44] and oppression, |
[1125.22 --> 1126.08] our own sins |
[1126.08 --> 1126.84] and brokenness, |
[1127.18 --> 1128.44] especially in a world |
[1128.44 --> 1129.36] of consumerism, |
[1129.36 --> 1130.32] busyness, |
[1130.64 --> 1131.14] screens, |
[1131.56 --> 1132.12] entertainment, |
[1132.50 --> 1132.84] pleasures, |
[1133.22 --> 1134.16] that try to grab |
[1134.16 --> 1135.34] every single second |
[1135.34 --> 1136.74] we have of our lives, |
[1136.94 --> 1137.86] trying to grab |
[1137.86 --> 1138.96] our whole beings |
[1138.96 --> 1140.26] away from God. |
[1140.70 --> 1142.90] That is our sinful selves. |
[1144.50 --> 1146.24] In the midst of this, |
[1147.00 --> 1150.80] we need Jesus Christ. |
[1151.90 --> 1152.50] So, |
[1152.74 --> 1153.82] how do we live |
[1153.82 --> 1154.84] as Christ followers |
[1154.84 --> 1156.02] and be that light |
[1156.02 --> 1156.74] for the world |
[1156.74 --> 1157.56] that is in darkness? |
[1157.56 --> 1160.06] As we conclude |
[1160.06 --> 1161.04] this morning, |
[1161.26 --> 1161.96] my suggestion |
[1161.96 --> 1162.84] is threefold. |
[1163.62 --> 1164.14] To start, |
[1164.26 --> 1165.24] I suggest that we must |
[1165.24 --> 1166.88] continue to remember. |
[1168.02 --> 1169.60] Remember and continue |
[1169.60 --> 1170.58] to be attentive |
[1170.58 --> 1171.24] and wrestle |
[1171.24 --> 1172.62] with our own brokenness, |
[1172.96 --> 1173.56] being aware |
[1173.56 --> 1174.54] of our own addictions |
