[690.76 --> 691.80] It also means
[691.80 --> 692.56] to reprove.
[693.18 --> 693.62] You're heading
[693.62 --> 694.82] toward repentance.
[695.46 --> 696.54] That's the point.
[697.04 --> 697.66] And also,
[697.88 --> 699.28] the important part is,
[699.40 --> 700.60] what does Jesus start with?
[701.24 --> 701.82] He says,
[702.04 --> 702.24] go.
[703.28 --> 704.70] This is a command.
[705.24 --> 706.70] This is not just some,
[706.70 --> 708.92] some practice
[708.92 --> 709.48] that we can do
[709.48 --> 710.66] that might be good for us.
[710.76 --> 711.62] This is a command.
[711.82 --> 712.54] This is a part
[712.54 --> 713.32] of the core
[713.32 --> 714.04] of our identity.
[714.66 --> 715.24] Jesus says,
[715.44 --> 716.88] go and confront,
[717.06 --> 717.66] point out,
[718.00 --> 718.52] expose,
[719.06 --> 720.08] with gentleness
[720.08 --> 720.58] and care,
[720.84 --> 722.16] with the end goal
[722.16 --> 722.96] of reconciliation.
[724.10 --> 725.50] So this is our command.
[726.68 --> 727.38] And here,
[727.50 --> 728.62] Jesus is not inventing
[728.62 --> 729.56] a new Christian concept,
[729.62 --> 729.96] by the way.
[730.54 --> 731.18] It's not like
[731.18 --> 732.04] Jesus came on earth
[732.04 --> 732.46] and it's like,
[732.86 --> 733.04] hey,
[733.48 --> 734.10] I think I know
[734.10 --> 734.48] what it means
[734.48 --> 735.18] to be really human
[735.18 --> 735.90] and to flourish.
[736.08 --> 736.96] So let me teach you.
[737.74 --> 738.68] Jesus is simply
[738.68 --> 740.10] continuing the whole
[740.10 --> 741.02] story of the Bible
[741.02 --> 742.52] where God's people
[742.52 --> 744.30] were always called
[744.30 --> 745.54] to be a people
[745.54 --> 746.50] of forgiveness
[746.50 --> 747.64] and reconciliation,
[748.44 --> 749.56] a people of shalom,
[749.82 --> 750.18] harmony,
[750.60 --> 750.96] together.
[752.52 --> 752.90] Jesus,
[753.16 --> 753.94] so obviously,
[754.50 --> 756.98] quotes Deuteronomy 19
[756.98 --> 758.10] when he says,
[758.10 --> 759.26] call two or three witnesses,
[759.46 --> 759.96] that part.
[760.40 --> 761.02] But also,
[761.16 --> 762.18] this idea reflects
[762.18 --> 762.88] the Old Testament
[762.88 --> 764.08] from two verses
[764.08 --> 764.78] I pulled out.
[764.98 --> 765.88] I love this proverb.
[766.26 --> 766.76] Every culture
[766.76 --> 767.80] has wisdom sayings,
[768.04 --> 768.76] but this one comes
[768.76 --> 769.36] from our Bible.
[770.04 --> 771.38] Proverbs 27 says,
[771.94 --> 773.66] better an open rebuke
[773.66 --> 775.48] than love that is concealed.
[776.24 --> 776.88] The wounds,
[777.00 --> 778.16] so the open rebuke,
[778.32 --> 779.06] from a friend
[779.06 --> 779.80] are faithful.
[780.28 --> 780.92] Or in other words,
[780.98 --> 781.78] they can be trusted,
[782.30 --> 783.54] but the kisses
[783.54 --> 784.62] of an enemy
[784.62 --> 785.42] are deceitful.
[786.40 --> 787.84] That's such a wise saying.
[788.10 --> 791.34] Leviticus 19 also,
[791.56 --> 792.16] part of the law.
[793.06 --> 794.80] You must not harbor hatred
[794.80 --> 795.60] against your brother
[795.60 --> 796.28] in your heart.
[797.16 --> 798.82] Directly or openly
[798.82 --> 800.10] rebuke your neighbor
[800.10 --> 801.12] so that you will not
[801.12 --> 802.00] incur guilt
[802.00 --> 803.02] on account of him.
[803.56 --> 804.46] Do you notice
[804.46 --> 805.16] the duty here?
[805.42 --> 806.86] It is your mandate.
[807.26 --> 808.44] You have the responsibility
[808.44 --> 809.80] to expose
[809.80 --> 811.98] and confront the sin
[811.98 --> 814.52] because you might
[814.52 --> 815.36] incur guilt
[815.36 --> 816.12] on account
