[1756.94 --> 1757.86] of being among friends |
[1757.86 --> 1758.52] who follow Jesus, |
[1758.68 --> 1759.52] inviting their prayers, |
[1759.64 --> 1760.46] so that I can get |
[1760.46 --> 1761.20] to the place of saying, |
[1761.28 --> 1762.60] I have released you. |
[1762.86 --> 1763.86] From my heart, |
[1763.98 --> 1765.10] I deep down |
[1765.10 --> 1767.36] do not want vengeance anymore. |
[1767.60 --> 1768.26] Praise the Lord. |
[1769.02 --> 1769.72] He does that work |
[1769.72 --> 1771.02] over time in the church. |
[1773.74 --> 1774.62] To summarize, |
[1776.08 --> 1776.94] Jesus' vision |
[1776.94 --> 1778.00] in Matthew 18 |
[1778.00 --> 1778.74] for the church |
[1778.74 --> 1780.52] is a radically |
[1780.52 --> 1783.10] forgiving church. |
[1783.98 --> 1785.60] A church that receives |
[1785.60 --> 1786.82] the unbelievable, |
[1787.28 --> 1789.16] undeserved grace of God |
[1789.16 --> 1790.08] through Jesus, |
[1790.08 --> 1791.74] that sets us free, |
[1792.80 --> 1793.90] gives us a new life, |
[1794.22 --> 1795.10] and then translates |
[1795.10 --> 1795.80] to a community |
[1795.80 --> 1796.40] that says, |
[1796.74 --> 1798.00] we can mirror that |
[1798.00 --> 1799.32] by the power |
[1799.32 --> 1800.14] of the Holy Spirit |
[1800.14 --> 1801.92] to those who hurt us. |
[1802.10 --> 1803.34] Not seven times, |
[1803.82 --> 1804.84] not 70 times, |
[1805.20 --> 1806.76] not 490 times, |
[1807.04 --> 1807.68] but through the course |
[1807.68 --> 1808.72] of our entire lives. |
[1811.82 --> 1813.00] When I've been reading |
[1813.00 --> 1814.30] over the last few weeks |
[1814.30 --> 1815.00] for this series, |
[1815.48 --> 1815.94] one of the things |
[1815.94 --> 1816.80] that struck me, |
[1816.92 --> 1817.48] and maybe you've already |
[1817.48 --> 1818.10] thought about this, |
[1818.18 --> 1820.10] is how the forgiveness |
[1820.10 --> 1820.70] of the church |
[1820.70 --> 1821.76] has been a defining |
[1821.76 --> 1822.86] part of its existence |
[1822.86 --> 1823.60] from the beginning. |
[1824.88 --> 1825.60] Forgiveness is just |
[1825.60 --> 1826.54] part and parcel |
[1826.54 --> 1827.22] of what it means |
[1827.22 --> 1827.70] to be the church, |
[1827.76 --> 1828.48] and there's so many |
[1828.48 --> 1829.26] beautiful stories |
[1829.26 --> 1830.16] throughout history |
[1830.16 --> 1830.62] of forgiveness |
[1830.62 --> 1832.12] that confounds |
[1832.12 --> 1832.90] the world. |
[1833.54 --> 1833.86] It's like, |
[1834.00 --> 1835.26] how did they do that, |
[1835.32 --> 1835.78] those Christians? |
[1835.96 --> 1837.10] How did they find |
[1837.10 --> 1837.68] the ability |
[1837.68 --> 1839.14] to forgive and release? |
[1839.42 --> 1840.34] Over and over again, |
[1840.38 --> 1840.74] you have these |
[1840.74 --> 1841.50] incredible stories. |
[1841.62 --> 1842.20] One that I have |
[1842.20 --> 1842.84] always loved, |
[1842.90 --> 1843.70] reading as a kid, |
[1844.16 --> 1845.18] is Corrie Ten Boom. |
[1845.18 --> 1847.28] She is a Dutch woman |
[1847.28 --> 1848.78] who went through |
[1848.78 --> 1849.90] the concentration camp. |
[1849.96 --> 1851.18] Her family suffered greatly. |
[1851.32 --> 1852.26] She lost loved ones. |
[1852.64 --> 1853.30] Later in her life, |
[1853.34 --> 1854.08] she survived. |
[1854.48 --> 1855.22] She encounters |
[1855.22 --> 1857.00] a Nazi soldier |
[1857.00 --> 1858.34] who is part of |
[1858.34 --> 1859.24] all these death camps, |
[1859.40 --> 1860.32] part of all the suffering, |
[1860.58 --> 1861.54] part of all the oppression, |
[1861.74 --> 1862.74] and she felt compelled |
[1862.74 --> 1863.78] to shake his hand |
[1863.78 --> 1864.50] and extend forgiveness, |
[1864.64 --> 1865.56] and she did. |
[1866.66 --> 1867.66] That's the power |
[1867.66 --> 1868.70] of Jesus Christ |
[1868.70 --> 1869.40] by his spirit. |
[1869.80 --> 1870.58] Martin Luther King, |
[1871.00 --> 1871.94] another famous example, |
[1872.04 --> 1873.92] and all the racial division, |
[1873.92 --> 1875.26] all the segregation |
[1875.26 --> 1876.62] that people in power |
[1876.62 --> 1877.96] were trying to impose. |
[1878.28 --> 1879.30] You have Martin Luther King |
[1879.30 --> 1879.94] standing up |
[1879.94 --> 1881.18] with a Bible in hand |
