[242.16 --> 246.86] And that's why we keep having wars again and we keep having conflict again and so forth and so on.
[248.54 --> 252.62] And deep down inside, we all feel the need for restoration.
[253.24 --> 255.38] But permanent restoration.
[255.96 --> 257.52] Forever restoration.
[259.12 --> 265.50] For now, we move toward wholeness in a broken world.
[266.54 --> 267.98] Yeah, we want the fighting to stop.
[268.06 --> 269.20] We want people to work together.
[269.20 --> 273.74] Yet the Bible is full of people not living out of shalom.
[273.88 --> 275.60] And you see the consequences of it.
[276.18 --> 279.54] Right from the start, already in the garden, sin lurks.
[279.68 --> 284.02] Satan lurks to bring about brokenness and all of what was good.
[284.96 --> 286.12] Including Adam and Eve.
[287.44 --> 291.26] In fact, we have a picture right at the beginning where the world was chaos.
[291.94 --> 294.70] And then out of the chaos, God creates.
[296.22 --> 298.16] Jumping way ahead to Isaiah.
[298.16 --> 299.80] Isaiah looks forward then.
[299.80 --> 302.16] And he kind of reflects the heart of the people in a way.
[302.66 --> 304.50] Looks forward to a leader who comes.
[304.98 --> 306.80] And he'll be a prince of shalom.
[307.64 --> 311.24] And his reign would bring endless shalom.
[311.56 --> 312.78] The deep desire that we have.
[313.02 --> 314.10] And so they waited.
[314.28 --> 314.92] We wait.
[315.80 --> 317.70] And Jesus came, the prince of peace.
[318.86 --> 322.56] In scripture, we read Jesus, when he neared the time of the cross.
[322.86 --> 324.86] He said this in John 14, 27.
[324.86 --> 327.06] Peace, I leave you.
[327.42 --> 329.14] But keep in mind what kind of peace.
[329.26 --> 330.10] Shalom, I leave you.
[330.42 --> 331.82] My peace I give you.
[332.14 --> 333.64] I don't give as the world gives.
[333.68 --> 335.10] We're not doing that definition.
[335.92 --> 337.66] Do not let your hearts be troubled.
[338.08 --> 338.82] Do not be afraid.
[338.92 --> 340.76] Because I've come to bring that kind of peace.
[341.90 --> 344.76] Through Jesus' life and his death and his resurrection.
[344.76 --> 349.14] Brokenness is replaced by wholeness.
[353.94 --> 355.78] Ephesians 2, Paul says it this way.
[356.56 --> 358.30] And it's very powerful the way this starts.
[358.64 --> 361.70] For he, Jesus himself, is our peace.
[362.70 --> 364.56] He is our peace.
[365.06 --> 369.24] Who has made, and then Paul refers to some conflicts that exist in his time.
[369.48 --> 370.78] As they have in all times.
[371.10 --> 372.80] Who has made the two groups one.
[372.80 --> 375.28] Who has destroyed the barrier.
[375.42 --> 376.84] The dividing wall of hostility.
[377.00 --> 378.20] Whatever that is.
[378.84 --> 380.58] The dividing wall of hostility in your life.
[380.70 --> 382.16] In the world itself.
[382.60 --> 385.02] By setting aside in his flesh.
[385.86 --> 388.26] The law with its commands and regulations.
[388.74 --> 389.54] His purpose.
[389.70 --> 390.20] His mission.
[390.54 --> 392.52] Was to create in himself.
[392.64 --> 393.76] You see this is all in Jesus.
[394.06 --> 394.60] In himself.
[395.00 --> 397.34] One new humanity out of the two.
[397.68 --> 398.54] Whether there were two.
[398.70 --> 399.76] There will be one.
[399.76 --> 400.20] One.
[400.20 --> 400.46] Forever.
[401.80 --> 403.36] Thus making peace.
[404.96 --> 407.12] And it's not just the absence of war.
[407.46 --> 409.10] And it's not just the absence of conflict.
[410.12 --> 412.84] And Jesus is peace.
[414.54 --> 417.14] And his followers are called to help bring that peace.
[417.92 --> 419.28] That shalom to the world.
[419.28 --> 420.66] And yes.
[420.76 --> 422.98] We live in the now and not yet.
[424.00 --> 424.20] Right?
[424.56 --> 425.96] Jesus' kingdom has come.
[426.20 --> 427.32] And is coming.
[427.64 --> 430.36] Somehow we live in this transitional kind of moment here.
[431.44 --> 434.56] And we work toward that peace.
[435.68 --> 438.26] I kind of always like it in 1 Corinthians 13.
[438.34 --> 439.30] Paul is talking about love.
[439.64 --> 440.58] But at one moment he said.
[440.66 --> 440.78] You know.
[440.84 --> 442.24] We see through a mirror dimly.
[442.50 --> 444.28] Sort of translucent like glass.
[444.28 --> 446.28] We don't see it clearly.
[446.54 --> 447.78] Even if we think we do.
[450.78 --> 453.32] And we move through the complexities of it all.
[453.70 --> 457.28] To try and bring the homeless as God intended it to be.
[458.64 --> 459.50] Let me ask you.
[459.54 --> 462.48] Have you noticed complexities in your life?
[464.10 --> 464.70] A few?
[466.54 --> 467.28] Issues are complicated.
[468.06 --> 468.92] They really are.
[469.08 --> 470.66] People are complex.
[470.66 --> 473.56] And sin makes it even more complicated.
[474.30 --> 475.80] None of it is simple.
[476.08 --> 477.40] Whatever we're talking about here.
[477.88 --> 479.16] And you can say things like.
[479.38 --> 482.30] Well if only they would have just listened to me.
[483.32 --> 484.46] Because I know.
[486.12 --> 486.36] Right?
[486.50 --> 486.72] I don't know.
[487.08 --> 487.56] Sometimes.
[489.22 --> 491.74] If only both sides would just simply lay down their weapons.
