[816.12 --> 817.02] of not |
[817.02 --> 818.28] or looking the other way |
[818.28 --> 819.64] and letting that sin slide. |
[820.94 --> 822.62] Do not seek revenge |
[822.62 --> 823.72] or bear a grudge |
[823.72 --> 824.98] against any of your people, |
[825.14 --> 826.48] but love your neighbor |
[826.48 --> 827.40] as yourself. |
[827.62 --> 828.54] I am the Lord. |
[828.54 --> 830.48] See, |
[830.56 --> 831.62] this ultimate command |
[831.62 --> 832.64] to love God |
[832.64 --> 833.44] and love neighbor |
[833.44 --> 834.50] as Jesus teaches us |
[834.50 --> 835.28] from the Old Testament, |
[835.88 --> 836.98] this includes |
[836.98 --> 838.02] the difficult journey |
[838.02 --> 839.20] of seeking reconciliation. |
[840.34 --> 841.72] It is a difficult, |
[841.92 --> 843.92] it is a very hard task |
[843.92 --> 844.34] to do, |
[844.62 --> 845.86] but we are called |
[845.86 --> 847.14] to reflect that identity |
[847.14 --> 847.68] of ours. |
[848.18 --> 848.92] And so the question |
[848.92 --> 849.82] we should be asking |
[849.82 --> 850.90] one another is this, |
[851.46 --> 852.96] do you care enough, |
[852.96 --> 855.16] do you care enough of me |
[855.16 --> 856.04] to tell me |
[856.04 --> 856.76] when I'm sinning? |
[857.68 --> 859.06] And then on the other side |
[859.06 --> 859.48] of that, |
[860.40 --> 860.90] are you, |
[861.02 --> 861.78] when you receive |
[861.78 --> 862.54] that reproval |
[862.54 --> 863.24] or discipline, |
[863.72 --> 864.76] are you humble enough |
[864.76 --> 865.80] to accept that |
[865.80 --> 866.96] as care, |
[867.44 --> 868.60] as wanting growth |
[868.60 --> 869.00] out of you |
[869.00 --> 870.20] instead of receiving it |
[870.20 --> 871.02] as an attack? |
[871.92 --> 873.10] It is a two-way street, |
[873.20 --> 873.80] this reconciliation. |
[874.60 --> 875.98] It is not just one person. |
[876.54 --> 877.44] It is two parties |
[877.44 --> 878.20] coming together, |
[878.68 --> 879.36] receiving it |
[879.36 --> 880.06] with gentleness |
[880.06 --> 881.24] and care and growth, |
[881.66 --> 882.64] seeking reconciliation. |
[883.72 --> 884.94] This is not easy, |
[885.06 --> 885.44] obviously, |
[885.72 --> 887.20] and this has been abused |
[887.20 --> 888.54] by the church in the past, |
[888.68 --> 889.72] where we just simply |
[889.72 --> 890.40] point fingers. |
[890.50 --> 891.76] That's also easy to do. |
[893.78 --> 895.46] But we seek reconciliation |
[895.46 --> 896.88] together in humility |
[896.88 --> 897.64] and care |
[897.64 --> 900.24] because the starting place, |
[900.94 --> 902.08] the starting place, |
[902.46 --> 905.02] is that we are all sinners, |
[905.16 --> 905.52] aren't we? |
[906.24 --> 907.64] We are a gathering |
[907.64 --> 908.90] of not just saints. |
[909.42 --> 910.18] That's the identity |
[910.18 --> 911.60] that we've been gifted with. |
[911.60 --> 913.04] But in reality, |
[913.42 --> 915.54] we are all saved sinners. |
[916.24 --> 917.06] You cannot forget |
[917.06 --> 918.20] about the sinner's part. |
[918.48 --> 919.54] That is still part |
[919.54 --> 920.14] of our identity. |
[920.52 --> 921.14] We are saved |
[921.14 --> 922.18] by the grace of God, |
[922.32 --> 923.20] but we are still |
[923.20 --> 923.68] broken, |
[923.90 --> 924.58] fragile people |
[924.58 --> 925.50] that come together |
[925.50 --> 926.72] to try and reflect |
[926.72 --> 927.48] God's goodness |
[927.48 --> 928.72] in His body, |
[928.82 --> 929.44] His church. |
[934.08 --> 935.12] So we start |
[935.12 --> 936.16] at a place of humility |
[936.16 --> 937.00] and gentleness. |
[937.00 --> 938.60] But again, |
[938.66 --> 939.66] I still had to wrestle |
[939.66 --> 940.40] with this idea |
[940.40 --> 940.84] of, okay, |
[941.12 --> 942.12] Jesus and Paul, |
[942.76 --> 943.94] what are you talking about? |
[944.28 --> 945.32] What sort of sins, |
[945.46 --> 946.26] what sort of patterns |
[946.26 --> 946.90] of sin |
[946.90 --> 949.22] require such care |
