[1089.24 --> 1091.32] And we need to regularly break away |
[1091.32 --> 1093.08] from that lie of self-righteousness. |
[1093.50 --> 1095.18] This is the heart of the gospel. |
[1095.34 --> 1096.46] This is what Paul's fighting against. |
[1096.80 --> 1098.30] And once you grasp that, |
[1098.56 --> 1100.58] what a difference it makes in your life. |
[1102.20 --> 1103.70] You know, when we read here about |
[1103.70 --> 1106.78] Paul confronting Peter, |
[1106.90 --> 1108.64] Peter's a significant leader in the church, |
[1108.72 --> 1109.58] and he confronts him, |
[1109.66 --> 1110.04] and Barnabas, |
[1110.08 --> 1110.68] and a bunch of others |
[1110.68 --> 1113.10] on this whole thing here. |
[1113.74 --> 1115.70] You know, Paul knew Peter |
[1115.70 --> 1116.74] struggled with this stuff. |
[1117.04 --> 1118.68] Peter's Jewish, as is Paul, |
[1118.98 --> 1121.84] and they believed in the Mosaic ceremonial laws, |
[1121.92 --> 1123.12] and lots of dietary laws, |
[1123.20 --> 1124.00] and clothing laws, |
[1124.20 --> 1126.10] and even some things that you couldn't touch. |
[1127.16 --> 1129.62] When you got ceremonially unclean, |
[1129.92 --> 1130.96] you touched something you shouldn't, |
[1131.00 --> 1131.98] or you ate something you shouldn't have, |
[1132.28 --> 1133.60] you couldn't go to worship. |
[1133.60 --> 1134.42] You couldn't go to the temple, |
[1134.68 --> 1135.70] and in a way, |
[1135.80 --> 1136.62] you couldn't go see God. |
[1136.78 --> 1140.12] So they worked really hard |
[1140.12 --> 1143.04] at staying clean. |
[1144.56 --> 1144.80] Okay? |
[1146.12 --> 1148.34] Of course, the Gentiles around them, |
[1148.42 --> 1149.02] the Galatians, |
[1149.52 --> 1151.10] were not clean. |
[1152.16 --> 1153.62] They ate the wrong things, |
[1153.72 --> 1154.94] they weren't circumcised, |
[1155.20 --> 1156.08] they did all kinds of things |
[1156.08 --> 1156.62] they shouldn't do. |
[1157.36 --> 1159.72] And so you've got the strong divide |
[1159.72 --> 1164.06] between clean and unclean. |
[1164.06 --> 1167.32] And there's a real problem there. |
[1167.32 --> 1170.94] And it led to some racial superiority here. |
[1171.94 --> 1173.66] Those Gentiles, |
[1174.02 --> 1176.84] with their unclean lifestyles, |
[1176.94 --> 1178.22] and you had this racial superiority. |
[1179.30 --> 1180.22] It's interesting to me, though, |
[1180.24 --> 1181.34] they still had to sacrifice. |
[1181.56 --> 1183.06] Well, what does sacrifice tell you? |
[1183.48 --> 1185.38] Sacrifice tells you that no one could live it out. |
[1185.60 --> 1186.92] No one was perfectly clean. |
[1186.92 --> 1189.14] Therefore, you had to sacrifice. |
[1189.70 --> 1190.72] And when Jesus came, |
[1190.94 --> 1192.06] he said some radical things. |
[1192.30 --> 1193.18] And he said, |
[1193.60 --> 1196.26] he was the sacrifice. |
[1198.18 --> 1199.78] The final sacrifice. |
[1200.26 --> 1201.58] And when you believed in him, |
[1201.86 --> 1204.40] you were actually clean. |
[1204.40 --> 1208.06] So, |
[1208.58 --> 1210.90] he has become the final sacrifice. |
[1211.30 --> 1212.46] He has fulfilled the need |
[1212.46 --> 1214.06] for cleanliness in himself. |
[1214.42 --> 1214.76] And therefore, |
[1214.84 --> 1215.40] there was no need |
[1215.40 --> 1217.00] for all those clean rules and sacrifices. |
[1217.44 --> 1218.60] You're clean in Jesus. |
[1219.76 --> 1220.52] Now, that was tough |
[1220.52 --> 1221.66] for these Jewish Christians, |
[1221.94 --> 1222.68] identity-wise. |
[1223.90 --> 1225.18] For Peter, for Barnabas, |
[1225.24 --> 1227.54] all of this had been a way of life |
[1227.54 --> 1228.80] for each of them. |
[1229.34 --> 1229.94] And now, |
[1230.08 --> 1231.20] here the gospel is saying, |
[1231.20 --> 1232.28] in Christ, |
[1232.50 --> 1233.04] all, |
[1233.24 --> 1233.76] all, |
[1233.96 --> 1234.66] Jews, Gentiles, |
[1234.74 --> 1234.98] everybody, |
[1235.28 --> 1237.88] all are equally unclean. |
[1240.32 --> 1241.62] And in Christ, |
[1242.04 --> 1243.68] all who believe |
[1243.68 --> 1244.96] are cleansed. |
[1245.78 --> 1246.12] All. |
[1249.62 --> 1250.62] It's interesting to me |
[1250.62 --> 1252.02] that Peter struggled with this. |
[1252.24 --> 1252.38] You know, |
[1252.80 --> 1253.34] it said, |
[1253.44 --> 1253.80] it said, |
[1254.04 --> 1257.00] he had eaten with Gentiles. |
[1257.60 --> 1257.78] You know, |
[1257.82 --> 1258.14] he was, |
[1258.22 --> 1259.86] he was on board with the gospel. |
[1261.20 --> 1263.46] He was in line with the gospel. |
[1263.58 --> 1263.98] Not now, |
[1264.04 --> 1264.62] but he was. |
[1265.90 --> 1266.52] And then, |
[1266.66 --> 1266.92] you know, |
[1267.08 --> 1267.86] then God, |
[1268.00 --> 1268.98] God even at one point |
[1268.98 --> 1269.74] comes to Peter, |
