[949.22 --> 950.04] and gentleness?
[951.82 --> 952.88] One commentator
[952.88 --> 953.90] defined it this way,
[953.96 --> 955.00] which I think is correct.
[955.56 --> 956.72] Sins that are
[956.72 --> 958.56] deliberate acts
[958.56 --> 959.54] of hurting the faith
[959.54 --> 960.66] of other Christians
[960.66 --> 961.40] by teaching
[961.40 --> 962.42] or living
[962.42 --> 963.78] unrepentantly,
[964.56 --> 965.38] shamelessly,
[965.38 --> 967.30] contrary to God's
[967.30 --> 968.30] words and commands.
[969.10 --> 970.38] So it's a lifestyle.
[970.58 --> 970.74] Again,
[970.80 --> 971.30] it's not just
[971.30 --> 972.48] unintentional mistakes.
[972.80 --> 973.76] It's a lifestyle
[973.76 --> 975.38] that is contrary
[975.38 --> 976.32] to the way
[976.32 --> 977.70] that Jesus exemplified
[977.70 --> 978.62] and has taught us
[978.62 --> 979.16] to follow.
[980.88 --> 982.08] But if you receive
[982.08 --> 982.82] this right now
[982.82 --> 983.42] and if you're anything
[983.42 --> 983.98] like me,
[984.26 --> 985.38] you sort of get
[985.38 --> 987.36] this sensitive cringe
[987.36 --> 987.84] and I go,
[988.28 --> 988.60] oof,
[988.86 --> 989.60] that sounds like
[989.60 --> 990.44] Christian legalism.
[991.22 --> 992.04] So you're saying
[992.04 --> 992.92] there's a way
[992.92 --> 993.74] of life
[993.74 --> 994.88] that Jesus taught us,
[994.88 --> 995.96] a way of blessing.
[996.44 --> 997.10] And if you don't
[997.10 --> 998.20] follow these standards,
[998.58 --> 999.20] we are given
[999.20 --> 999.88] the responsibility
[999.88 --> 1000.78] to point our fingers
[1000.78 --> 1001.16] and say,
[1001.30 --> 1001.50] hey,
[1002.42 --> 1003.76] WWJD, man.
[1003.92 --> 1005.20] You shouldn't be like that.
[1006.44 --> 1007.54] There's part of that,
[1007.64 --> 1007.90] yes.
[1008.42 --> 1009.30] But is it coming
[1009.30 --> 1010.10] out of a place
[1010.10 --> 1011.16] of care and gentleness?
[1011.50 --> 1012.26] And also,
[1012.70 --> 1013.36] would you do that
[1013.36 --> 1014.52] to somebody you just met?
[1014.72 --> 1015.80] Hey, nice to meet you.
[1015.96 --> 1016.68] What's your sin?
[1019.56 --> 1020.00] Obviously,
[1020.34 --> 1021.48] I'm sort of preaching
[1021.48 --> 1022.84] from what Jesus teaches us,
[1022.84 --> 1024.12] but the deep dynamics
[1024.12 --> 1024.82] of it is
[1024.82 --> 1026.34] it has to come out.
[1026.58 --> 1027.72] The seeking reconciliation
[1027.72 --> 1029.30] and confronting the sin
[1029.30 --> 1030.44] and the wrongdoing
[1030.44 --> 1031.48] that stands against
[1031.48 --> 1032.60] God's word
[1032.60 --> 1033.48] and his instruction
[1033.48 --> 1034.98] for flourishing human life,
[1035.40 --> 1035.60] yes,
[1035.66 --> 1036.40] it must come,
[1036.66 --> 1037.72] but it has to come
[1037.72 --> 1038.72] out of a place
[1038.72 --> 1039.74] of care and gentleness
[1039.74 --> 1041.42] and that takes time.
[1042.04 --> 1042.36] Again,
[1042.50 --> 1042.96] like I said,
[1043.00 --> 1043.72] the extreme is
[1043.72 --> 1045.04] you just meet somebody,
[1045.26 --> 1045.70] you don't want
[1045.70 --> 1046.48] to point your fingers.
[1046.48 --> 1048.76] you start
[1048.76 --> 1049.74] at a place
[1049.74 --> 1050.28] of humility.
[1054.94 --> 1055.80] Notice the heart
[1055.80 --> 1056.24] of it here.
[1057.56 --> 1059.06] I asked this question
[1059.06 --> 1059.46] in my head,
[1059.82 --> 1060.16] but Jesus,
[1060.30 --> 1060.94] aren't we all sinners?
[1061.78 --> 1062.92] What right do we have
[1062.92 --> 1063.40] to confront
[1063.40 --> 1064.26] somebody else's sin?
[1065.66 --> 1066.40] Aren't we all sinners?
[1066.50 --> 1066.66] Yes,
[1066.74 --> 1067.56] that is the truth,
[1067.80 --> 1069.10] but notice the heart
[1069.10 --> 1070.30] of what Jesus is teaching
