[894.86 --> 895.20] And then we say,
[895.26 --> 896.74] well, that peace comes through the cross.
[896.84 --> 898.56] Well, wait a minute, Bible thumper.
[898.56 --> 901.92] Slow down a little bit here.
[901.96 --> 902.82] I like the peace part.
[902.90 --> 904.30] Let's not drag the cross into this.
[907.68 --> 908.08] Peace.
[909.04 --> 910.76] End of wars and violence.
[910.82 --> 911.32] Of course.
[912.10 --> 913.14] That's part of it too.
[914.12 --> 914.84] But peace,
[915.38 --> 915.92] ultimately,
[916.36 --> 918.16] harmony of people
[918.16 --> 919.58] with a holy God
[919.58 --> 921.82] who has every right to judge them,
[921.96 --> 924.10] but doesn't because the Son has come
[924.10 --> 928.76] and taken away the price of sin and death from us,
[930.04 --> 931.88] from those who will surrender to that.
[932.96 --> 935.78] And Jesus longs for that mission to be over, right?
[935.82 --> 936.02] He said,
[936.08 --> 937.54] I wish that fire was already kindled.
[937.78 --> 939.74] He's anxious to complete it
[939.74 --> 942.32] where he will face the consequences of sin
[942.32 --> 943.38] for you and I,
[944.08 --> 944.72] where he will say,
[944.78 --> 945.48] my God, my God,
[945.60 --> 947.50] why have you forsaken me
[947.50 --> 950.50] so you didn't have to be forsaken?
[950.50 --> 950.58] Amen.
[950.58 --> 950.62] Amen.
[954.10 --> 958.20] You know, fire,
[958.96 --> 959.72] Jesus talked about fire,
[959.78 --> 960.82] fire can destroy, right?
[961.62 --> 962.92] But it also purifies.
[964.50 --> 965.38] It purifies.
[965.72 --> 967.58] We are purified through those fires.
[968.42 --> 968.56] Right?
[968.58 --> 970.48] We sometimes talk about forest fires, right?
[970.54 --> 972.86] And all that underbrush is burned away
[972.86 --> 974.30] and it'll seem pretty bad for a while,
[974.34 --> 974.68] but, you know,
[974.70 --> 976.06] all kinds of new life comes out of that.
[980.56 --> 981.98] We find our purification
[981.98 --> 983.34] through the fire,
[983.48 --> 984.18] Jesus starts
[984.18 --> 986.60] with his death and resurrection.
[987.98 --> 988.78] And in that,
[988.96 --> 990.82] we are at peace with God
[990.82 --> 991.76] and, yeah,
[991.82 --> 992.76] with one another too.
[993.12 --> 995.86] But not everyone will accept that.
[998.04 --> 998.94] And maybe you,
[998.94 --> 999.62] maybe you,
[999.74 --> 1001.40] you feel like you want to settle for a peace
[1001.40 --> 1003.10] that's about conflict avoidance.
[1003.16 --> 1004.66] That's another kind of peace.
[1005.72 --> 1007.60] You ever been in that kind of situation, right?
[1008.32 --> 1009.48] The situation's tense,
[1009.48 --> 1010.88] whatever the thing is,
[1011.04 --> 1012.08] the issue is,
[1012.60 --> 1013.64] and you want to say something,
[1013.76 --> 1015.60] but you don't for the sake of peace.
[1016.96 --> 1017.32] Really,
[1017.66 --> 1018.98] you just don't want to have a big fight
[1018.98 --> 1019.72] about something again.
[1020.40 --> 1020.52] Right?
[1020.56 --> 1021.48] And I kind of get that.
[1021.66 --> 1022.12] I get that.
[1022.16 --> 1024.08] We can't be fighting all the time.
[1024.90 --> 1025.90] Sometimes it is wise
[1025.90 --> 1026.86] just to keep your mouth shut.
[1029.18 --> 1030.16] But not all the time.
[1032.64 --> 1034.34] We can't hide the gospel.
[1034.94 --> 1035.14] All the time.
[1035.16 --> 1035.66] And I get it.
[1035.66 --> 1037.86] We can show the gospel
[1037.86 --> 1038.84] through the way we live.
[1038.92 --> 1039.72] Of course, right?
[1039.88 --> 1041.40] And we can be loving and caring
[1041.40 --> 1041.90] and all that.
[1042.16 --> 1042.74] That's true.
[1042.92 --> 1045.10] But sometimes we say something,
[1045.36 --> 1046.54] hopefully in love.
[1049.14 --> 1050.08] And I'll be honest with you,
[1050.12 --> 1052.58] I don't always know how to navigate this
[1052.58 --> 1054.58] in my relationships.
[1057.12 --> 1058.52] I tend to say things.
[1060.54 --> 1060.78] You know,
[1060.82 --> 1062.02] once in a while I'm saying something
[1062.02 --> 1063.92] and my wife's sitting close to me
[1063.92 --> 1064.70] and I get one of these.
[1065.66 --> 1066.22] You know,
[1066.22 --> 1066.96] kick in the leg
[1066.96 --> 1067.38] and I go,
[1068.50 --> 1069.64] no more talking, Sid.
[1071.18 --> 1071.96] Settle down.
[1073.80 --> 1076.00] And often that's the right thing here
[1076.00 --> 1077.38] because sometimes too many words
[1077.38 --> 1078.04] are not helpful.
[1079.54 --> 1080.00] But yeah,
