[3611.22 --> 3612.94] that are like real children, |
[3613.40 --> 3615.98] that are real disciples of Christ, |
[3616.96 --> 3618.66] they are the ones |
[3618.66 --> 3619.82] that are called disciples |
[3619.82 --> 3621.78] as opposed to the crowd. |
[3622.40 --> 3623.44] You have to think of it, right? |
[3623.66 --> 3625.50] Whenever Jesus goes to a town |
[3625.50 --> 3627.14] or wherever he teaches, |
[3627.62 --> 3628.90] there are hundreds |
[3628.90 --> 3630.40] or even thousands of people |
[3630.40 --> 3631.22] that gather to him |
[3631.22 --> 3632.16] to try and hear |
[3632.16 --> 3633.08] what he has to say |
[3633.08 --> 3634.78] because he was known |
[3634.78 --> 3635.88] as a wise prophet, |
[3636.02 --> 3636.72] a good teacher. |
[3637.50 --> 3639.40] But then only those |
[3639.40 --> 3640.72] that were called disciples, |
[3641.48 --> 3642.56] they were the ones |
[3642.56 --> 3644.18] who came close to Jesus |
[3644.18 --> 3645.76] and tried to follow him |
[3645.76 --> 3646.54] in his ways |
[3646.54 --> 3648.38] because they are the ones |
[3648.38 --> 3650.58] that were not necessarily smarter. |
[3651.14 --> 3651.92] You have to think, |
[3651.98 --> 3653.96] even Jesus' original 12 disciples, |
[3654.34 --> 3655.32] they were not necessarily |
[3655.32 --> 3656.28] smarter people. |
[3656.28 --> 3658.94] They were just the people |
[3658.94 --> 3659.58] who knew |
[3659.58 --> 3661.36] that Jesus was their Savior |
[3661.36 --> 3663.32] and that they were |
[3663.32 --> 3664.56] in total dependence |
[3664.56 --> 3665.44] and need of him. |
[3666.50 --> 3667.82] As opposed to the crowd |
[3667.82 --> 3669.38] who stood at a distance |
[3669.38 --> 3671.32] and said, |
[3671.64 --> 3672.16] all right Jesus, |
[3672.32 --> 3672.84] what you got? |
[3673.72 --> 3675.40] If you say the right things |
[3675.40 --> 3676.20] that I want to hear, |
[3676.28 --> 3676.98] then I'll stick around. |
[3677.28 --> 3678.56] If you say the things |
[3678.56 --> 3679.46] that I don't like, |
[3679.84 --> 3680.74] then I'll just leave. |
[3681.16 --> 3681.32] Right? |
[3681.52 --> 3682.58] That's the crowd |
[3682.58 --> 3684.32] as opposed to the disciples. |
[3684.32 --> 3687.06] And these are the ones |
[3687.06 --> 3687.58] that are called |
[3687.58 --> 3688.34] little children. |
[3689.86 --> 3691.02] Like Jesus teaches |
[3691.02 --> 3691.92] in the Beatitudes, |
[3692.06 --> 3692.22] right? |
[3692.26 --> 3692.76] At the beginning |
[3692.76 --> 3693.80] of the Sermon on the Mount, |
[3694.44 --> 3694.88] do you remember |
[3694.88 --> 3695.80] what the first one is? |
[3696.46 --> 3697.02] Blessed are, |
[3697.12 --> 3698.36] and you have a list of them? |
[3699.02 --> 3699.50] Oh, I mean, |
[3699.86 --> 3700.54] gave it away. |
[3700.86 --> 3701.68] Blessed are, |
[3702.08 --> 3703.82] blessed are the poor |
[3703.82 --> 3704.48] in spirit. |
[3705.12 --> 3706.34] The poor in spirit, |
[3706.44 --> 3706.98] the humble, |
[3707.10 --> 3708.20] the contrite in spirit. |
[3709.06 --> 3710.28] Yours is the kingdom |
[3710.28 --> 3710.80] of heaven. |
[3711.60 --> 3711.72] Right? |
[3711.74 --> 3712.58] That's what Jesus says |
[3712.58 --> 3713.72] and it's the same message. |
[3713.72 --> 3715.32] like little children. |
[3715.76 --> 3717.24] And even in Matthew 18, |
[3717.58 --> 3718.24] Jesus says, |
[3718.56 --> 3719.56] Truly I tell you, |
[3719.84 --> 3721.30] unless you change |
[3721.30 --> 3722.38] and become like |
[3722.38 --> 3724.10] little children, |
[3724.62 --> 3725.54] you will never enter |
[3725.54 --> 3726.40] the kingdom of heaven. |
[3726.64 --> 3727.56] And whoever welcomes |
[3727.56 --> 3728.58] one such child |
[3728.58 --> 3729.38] in my name |
[3729.38 --> 3730.92] welcomes me. |
[3732.56 --> 3733.56] So this kingdom |
[3733.56 --> 3735.32] is revealed to the humble. |
[3735.62 --> 3736.56] And this is |
[3736.56 --> 3737.50] the Father's will. |
[3738.72 --> 3740.32] This is the Father's will. |
[3740.92 --> 3741.82] And then we have to jump |
[3741.82 --> 3742.96] to the third question now. |
[3742.96 --> 3744.38] Because Jesus says, |
[3744.88 --> 3745.80] this will of the Father |
[3745.80 --> 3746.92] to reveal the kingdom |
[3746.92 --> 3748.06] to those that are humble, |
[3748.72 --> 3749.84] that come to God |
[3749.84 --> 3750.98] in total dependence, |
[3751.22 --> 3752.20] that are poor in spirit, |
