[1018.56 --> 1019.74] I gave their car away |
[1019.74 --> 1021.10] and now it's destroyed. |
[1021.54 --> 1022.30] So that night, |
[1022.50 --> 1023.52] I gave them a call, |
[1023.72 --> 1025.14] very difficult call to make, |
[1025.26 --> 1025.42] right? |
[1025.46 --> 1026.18] How do you break this? |
[1026.24 --> 1026.38] You're like, |
[1026.42 --> 1027.02] how's the weather? |
[1027.88 --> 1029.36] How's things going? |
[1029.84 --> 1030.36] And then I had to |
[1030.36 --> 1031.06] break the news to them. |
[1031.12 --> 1031.30] I'm like, |
[1031.38 --> 1032.58] and I lent it your car |
[1032.58 --> 1033.32] and it is now |
[1033.32 --> 1034.60] completely totaled |
[1034.60 --> 1035.42] and there's a lot of things |
[1035.42 --> 1036.04] I got to sort out |
[1036.04 --> 1036.64] with your insurance. |
[1037.34 --> 1038.48] And the first thing |
[1038.48 --> 1039.72] they said to me was, |
[1039.88 --> 1041.12] it's just a car. |
[1041.12 --> 1043.82] And my heart just was like, |
[1043.92 --> 1045.00] oh, thank the Lord. |
[1045.38 --> 1046.38] I'm so happy |
[1046.38 --> 1047.34] you don't want to like |
[1047.34 --> 1048.66] disown me as a son-in-law. |
[1049.06 --> 1050.46] But that was a teaching moment |
[1050.46 --> 1050.84] for me |
[1050.84 --> 1051.62] because I'm not sure |
[1051.62 --> 1052.52] I'd respond that way |
[1052.52 --> 1053.72] if someone smashed up my car |
[1053.72 --> 1054.80] that was lent out |
[1054.80 --> 1055.72] in my absence |
[1055.72 --> 1056.86] without my knowledge, right? |
[1057.24 --> 1058.16] But it was this moment |
[1058.16 --> 1058.56] where I'm like, |
[1058.72 --> 1060.28] that's the flinch |
[1060.28 --> 1061.36] of a Christian, right? |
[1061.88 --> 1062.98] That's how we respond |
[1062.98 --> 1063.62] because they knew |
[1063.62 --> 1064.58] the intention was good, |
[1064.82 --> 1065.50] they knew it was given |
[1065.50 --> 1066.32] to someone who had need |
[1066.32 --> 1067.38] and that's what they want |
[1067.38 --> 1068.14] for their stuff. |
[1068.94 --> 1069.90] They want to be generous |
[1069.90 --> 1070.66] and open-handed. |
[1071.32 --> 1072.16] And I almost want |
[1072.16 --> 1072.78] to ask the question, |
[1072.88 --> 1073.72] how open-handedly |
[1073.72 --> 1074.38] do we live with, |
[1074.44 --> 1075.36] not just with our money, |
[1075.46 --> 1076.08] which is important, |
[1076.32 --> 1077.56] but with our stuff? |
[1079.50 --> 1080.16] And it's at this point |
[1080.16 --> 1080.64] that I want to draw |
[1080.64 --> 1081.02] our attention |
[1081.02 --> 1082.00] to that middle section |
[1082.00 --> 1082.90] of this passage. |
[1083.92 --> 1085.30] Very weirdly positioned, |
[1085.42 --> 1085.84] people are like, |
[1085.92 --> 1086.66] why is it here, right? |
[1087.18 --> 1088.04] Jesus talks about |
[1088.04 --> 1088.56] our possessions |
[1088.56 --> 1089.20] and our treasures, |
[1089.32 --> 1089.76] then at the end |
[1089.76 --> 1090.62] he talks about our money |
[1090.62 --> 1091.64] and not having two masters, |
[1091.78 --> 1092.44] and then in the middle |
[1092.44 --> 1093.26] there's this whole section |
[1093.26 --> 1094.24] on like light |
[1094.24 --> 1094.88] and our eyes |
[1094.88 --> 1095.42] and darkness, |
[1095.52 --> 1096.24] and I'll read for you |
[1096.24 --> 1097.52] just one part of it |
[1097.52 --> 1098.40] and then explain |
[1098.40 --> 1098.90] what I think |
[1098.90 --> 1099.64] is why it's here. |
[1100.60 --> 1101.20] Jesus says, |
[1101.66 --> 1102.82] if your eyes are healthy, |
[1103.00 --> 1103.68] your whole body |
[1103.68 --> 1104.64] will be full of light, |
[1104.82 --> 1105.46] and if your eyes |
[1105.46 --> 1106.10] are unhealthy, |
[1106.22 --> 1106.90] your whole body |
[1106.90 --> 1107.78] will be full of darkness. |
[1108.40 --> 1109.24] Now different takes |
[1109.24 --> 1109.56] on this, |
[1109.62 --> 1110.92] but here's an interesting fact. |
[1111.38 --> 1112.28] The words healthy |
[1112.28 --> 1113.28] and unhealthy here |
[1113.28 --> 1113.70] in Greek |
[1113.70 --> 1115.40] translate to this word |
[1115.40 --> 1116.02] in English, |
[1117.36 --> 1117.70] generous, |
[1118.46 --> 1119.76] and I'll use the word stingy. |
[1120.64 --> 1121.40] And it's almost |
[1121.40 --> 1122.56] as though Jesus is saying, |
[1122.66 --> 1122.82] you know, |
