[858.92 --> 859.68] about that too, |
[859.80 --> 861.70] but this binding and loosing |
[861.70 --> 862.26] is important, |
[862.42 --> 863.42] but it's also about |
[863.42 --> 864.18] to forgive. |
[865.26 --> 865.98] It's also about |
[865.98 --> 867.38] holding one another accountable. |
[867.62 --> 868.34] That's part of this |
[868.34 --> 869.34] binding and loosing |
[869.34 --> 870.78] and we do this |
[870.78 --> 872.52] building our lives on Jesus |
[872.52 --> 873.68] who is our cornerstone, |
[874.32 --> 875.44] living by the word, |
[875.76 --> 877.02] living by the truth of scripture. |
[877.02 --> 878.92] We're not making this stuff up. |
[879.08 --> 880.24] We're wrestling with it |
[880.24 --> 881.08] through the power |
[881.08 --> 881.90] of the Holy Spirit |
[881.90 --> 883.84] and we wrestle together. |
[884.24 --> 885.08] That's what it means |
[885.08 --> 886.00] to be a community |
[886.00 --> 887.84] and we don't just |
[887.84 --> 888.78] shoot off our mouths |
[888.78 --> 889.80] and give our own opinions. |
[890.00 --> 890.68] We're trying to go |
[890.68 --> 892.34] much, much deeper than that. |
[892.74 --> 894.24] So yes, Jesus asked |
[894.24 --> 895.50] all of us, |
[895.86 --> 898.06] who do you say I am? |
[901.04 --> 903.66] Am I one option among many |
[903.66 --> 906.38] or am I your Messiah? |
[907.02 --> 910.60] And then, |
[910.94 --> 912.32] do our confessions |
[912.32 --> 914.72] translate into the way we live? |
[915.30 --> 916.14] Because let's face it, |
[916.22 --> 917.24] talk is cheap. |
[918.10 --> 919.42] The Gospels are not just |
[919.42 --> 920.64] interested in correctly |
[920.64 --> 921.68] defining Jesus, |
[921.96 --> 922.88] but also in shaping |
[922.88 --> 923.58] a community |
[923.58 --> 924.62] who live out |
[924.62 --> 925.72] those confessions. |
[927.16 --> 928.20] These questions |
[928.20 --> 929.48] are not just about definition, |
[929.92 --> 930.92] but a formation |
[930.92 --> 932.30] of living out |
[932.30 --> 933.76] the way of Jesus. |
[933.76 --> 936.08] are the words |
[936.08 --> 936.94] we confess, |
[937.68 --> 939.24] are they being |
[939.24 --> 940.86] displayed in the way |
[940.86 --> 942.34] we live? |
[944.26 --> 945.60] You should ask yourself |
[945.60 --> 946.48] that question too. |
[948.54 --> 949.64] Jesus is saying, |
[950.06 --> 951.92] who you say I am |
[951.92 --> 954.82] determines how you live. |
[954.82 --> 959.00] that's why it's so problematic |
[959.00 --> 960.44] when Christians say things |
[960.44 --> 960.64] like, |
[960.72 --> 961.96] oh, I believe in Jesus, |
[962.36 --> 964.12] and then they're the biggest |
[964.12 --> 964.82] jerks around. |
[967.70 --> 969.56] It works totally contrary |
[969.56 --> 970.42] to the confession. |
[970.42 --> 975.04] when we confess Jesus, |
[975.16 --> 975.76] we ought to be |
[975.76 --> 977.12] the most loving people around, |
[977.42 --> 979.24] still speaking the truth. |
[983.42 --> 984.82] Who do you say I am? |
[986.50 --> 987.56] I have this binding |
[987.56 --> 988.24] and loosing. |
[989.02 --> 989.52] And then, |
[989.86 --> 990.88] let me re-read |
[990.88 --> 991.80] verse 19 to you. |
[992.06 --> 993.28] I will give you the keys, |
[993.40 --> 994.30] whatever you bind on earth |
[994.30 --> 994.96] will be bound in heaven, |
[995.02 --> 995.86] and whatever you loose on earth |
[995.86 --> 996.86] will be loosed in heaven. |
[997.18 --> 998.04] And we have this sort of, |
[998.24 --> 998.88] it made me think of |
[998.88 --> 999.88] the Lord's Prayer, |
[1000.30 --> 1000.48] you know, |
[1000.68 --> 1001.92] may it be on earth |
[1001.92 --> 1002.72] as it is in heaven. |
[1002.80 --> 1003.68] Now it almost feels like |
[1003.68 --> 1004.48] it's doing the opposite. |
[1004.80 --> 1005.78] But it's talking about |
[1005.78 --> 1006.48] this synergy, |
[1006.66 --> 1007.40] this connection |
[1007.40 --> 1009.30] between heaven and earth. |
[1010.02 --> 1010.92] Heaven has kind of |
[1010.92 --> 1012.46] come down through Jesus. |
[1013.28 --> 1014.56] That's what we're doing here. |
[1014.98 --> 1017.76] The church is seen in action |
[1017.76 --> 1018.90] where freedom |
[1018.90 --> 1020.64] is expressed in Christ. |
[1021.42 --> 1022.76] Things are loosed. |
