[698.72 --> 699.80] and wanted to restore gently, |
[700.32 --> 702.36] and it's not an easy process, |
[702.62 --> 704.58] and you're going to want to bail out sometime |
[704.58 --> 707.06] because the cost is going to be too high. |
[707.06 --> 714.98] It starts with a heart that's being filled with the Spirit of God, |
[715.20 --> 717.02] and out of that comes that fruit. |
[717.44 --> 719.64] Things like, and I want to highlight this one, |
[719.92 --> 721.98] things like kindness. |
[725.60 --> 727.54] I think we, oh, kindness. |
[727.94 --> 730.86] You know, I think kindness, it's a spiritual gift. |
[730.86 --> 734.48] When you say things, do you say them kindly? |
[737.78 --> 741.46] When you approach people, do you do so with kindness? |
[743.46 --> 746.86] And that's restoring, part of restoring gently. |
[746.86 --> 751.90] So this comes when I'm in touch with the Spirit. |
[753.10 --> 754.96] And then I know how to keep going. |
[755.04 --> 755.20] Why? |
[755.30 --> 756.48] Well, I have forbearance. |
[756.52 --> 757.56] This is one of the spiritual gifts. |
[757.94 --> 759.44] When you're a mess, |
[760.02 --> 761.86] I don't bail on you. |
[761.86 --> 767.30] I have forbearance. |
[770.14 --> 771.28] Paul goes on to say, |
[771.82 --> 773.02] bear with one another. |
[773.18 --> 774.02] Bear one another. |
[774.42 --> 776.84] I'm not going to let you carry that alone. |
[780.08 --> 781.92] Yeah, you know, I get it. |
[782.24 --> 784.06] When I step into that with you, |
[784.20 --> 785.86] that's going to weigh me down. |
[786.10 --> 787.20] But that's okay, |
[787.46 --> 789.50] because love is about serving. |
[789.82 --> 791.20] Freedom is about serving. |
[791.86 --> 794.10] I'm free in Christ to help you, |
[794.32 --> 795.88] because he saved me, |
[796.20 --> 797.84] he unburdens me. |
[800.96 --> 804.44] Love is about a willingness to help carry a burden. |
[805.26 --> 806.92] I'll take some of that weight |
[806.92 --> 808.46] so you can walk a little bit easier. |
[808.78 --> 811.24] Is your problem going to now be automatically solved? |
[811.36 --> 812.12] Probably not. |
[812.30 --> 813.92] But you're walking a little bit lighter, |
[814.20 --> 816.78] and then maybe you have time to get healthier again |
[816.78 --> 817.90] and seek some help |
[817.90 --> 819.40] and get a little bit more support |
[819.40 --> 821.54] so you can start walking more on your own, |
[821.60 --> 822.52] which is what we want. |
[826.52 --> 828.88] And at least you're not alone with that burden. |
[828.88 --> 833.86] I'm always surprised, you know, |
[833.90 --> 834.90] when I talk to people |
[834.90 --> 837.10] and they share a little bit of their lives. |
[839.78 --> 841.08] You know, on the one hand, |
[841.18 --> 841.74] you feel, okay, |
[842.20 --> 843.96] you took on a wee bit of burden. |
[844.50 --> 845.08] But on the other hand, |
[845.12 --> 845.84] what a blessing. |
[846.26 --> 848.06] And somehow it builds you, |
[848.22 --> 850.54] and hopefully it supports the other person, right? |
[850.54 --> 853.64] It just makes life richer. |
[856.06 --> 859.58] And this isn't about you feeling good about yourself. |
[859.66 --> 860.92] That's not the main point here. |
[861.32 --> 862.88] You aren't the point. |
[865.00 --> 866.08] That's what Paul's trying to say here. |
[866.44 --> 867.34] Restore gently. |
[867.72 --> 868.40] Bear the burden. |
[868.70 --> 870.18] The other is the focus |
[870.18 --> 871.56] because you know what it's like |
[871.56 --> 872.92] to feel burdened and overwhelmed, |
[873.10 --> 874.52] and then have Christ show up |
[874.52 --> 876.90] and fill your life with his spirit, |
[877.10 --> 878.54] and then you become unburdened. |
[878.54 --> 879.10] Unburdened. |
[879.24 --> 880.52] Do all the problems go away? |
[880.58 --> 880.78] No. |
[881.00 --> 882.84] But somehow you're unburdened. |
[886.78 --> 888.94] And often Christ shows up for others |
[888.94 --> 891.68] with and through someone else too. |
[892.38 --> 893.64] People stepping into your lives, |
[893.68 --> 894.78] and Christ works through those people. |
[898.44 --> 902.98] You know, when Paul's talking about in verse 3, |
[903.08 --> 903.16] he says, |
[903.40 --> 905.30] if someone thinks they're something and they're not, |
[905.36 --> 906.52] they deceive themselves, right? |
[906.52 --> 908.20] You know, again, saying, |
[908.20 --> 911.26] don't forget to stay humble. |
[913.60 --> 914.64] The second you're saying, |
[914.86 --> 918.02] well, you're pretty impressed with yourself. |
[919.46 --> 921.12] Well, you're on the wrong track here. |
[921.70 --> 922.78] We're something, right? |
[923.00 --> 924.22] Look at me and what I'm doing. |
[925.10 --> 925.92] He keeps saying it. |
[926.12 --> 927.44] Test your work. |
[928.76 --> 930.18] Keep an eye on your motives. |
[930.50 --> 931.92] This is about serving Jesus |
[931.92 --> 933.34] by serving those around you. |
[933.34 --> 936.42] Or is this about you and your empty ego? |
[940.02 --> 941.96] And then there's this stress here. |
[942.34 --> 944.46] Keep testing yourself. |
[945.36 --> 948.02] Because it's so easy to stray into self-righteousness |
[948.02 --> 949.12] than fall into temptation. |
[949.62 --> 951.02] Keep your eyes on Christ. |
[951.10 --> 952.84] One of my favorite verses, Hebrews 12. |
