[4876.78 --> 4878.66] well and with justice |
[4878.66 --> 4880.24] and love and goodness. |
[4881.20 --> 4883.06] And every single one of us, |
[4883.22 --> 4884.58] and I do mean every one of us, |
[4884.62 --> 4885.24] even our youngest, |
[4885.82 --> 4886.82] there's something |
[4886.82 --> 4888.30] that God places |
[4888.30 --> 4889.52] under your authority. |
[4890.64 --> 4890.82] Right? |
[4891.54 --> 4892.38] There are people, |
[4892.46 --> 4892.96] if you're a parent, |
[4893.04 --> 4893.48] there's people |
[4893.48 --> 4894.78] God places under your authority. |
[4894.98 --> 4895.48] If you're a teacher, |
[4895.60 --> 4896.08] there are children |
[4896.08 --> 4896.94] under your authority. |
[4897.16 --> 4897.90] If you're a student, |
[4898.80 --> 4899.80] perhaps you are a leader |
[4899.80 --> 4900.90] on your basketball team. |
[4901.52 --> 4902.70] Perhaps you're an older sibling. |
[4903.40 --> 4904.44] Perhaps you have influence |
[4904.44 --> 4905.12] among your friends |
[4905.12 --> 4906.20] and they kind of look up to you. |
[4906.22 --> 4907.60] In all these spaces, |
[4908.32 --> 4910.02] God calls you to lead, |
[4910.46 --> 4911.58] to take on that sort of |
[4911.58 --> 4912.70] kingly authority |
[4912.70 --> 4914.22] and to love well |
[4914.22 --> 4915.32] with the authority you have, |
[4915.38 --> 4917.06] to lead well and generously |
[4917.06 --> 4918.32] and with justice |
[4918.32 --> 4919.60] in all the places |
[4919.60 --> 4921.00] you find yourself. |
[4921.00 --> 4922.48] You were called to share |
[4922.48 --> 4924.92] in Jesus' kingly ministry. |
[4924.92 --> 4928.26] There's a young guy |
[4928.26 --> 4929.54] I was discipling for a while. |
[4930.28 --> 4931.14] He's actually now |
[4931.14 --> 4932.64] in grad school. |
[4933.76 --> 4934.86] And as we were working out |
[4934.86 --> 4935.84] in his place, |
[4935.88 --> 4936.12] actually, |
[4936.18 --> 4936.86] where he works, |
[4937.62 --> 4938.66] he's studying to be a doctor, |
[4938.74 --> 4939.36] a medical doctor, |
[4939.46 --> 4939.70] and he, |
[4939.96 --> 4940.56] throughout his studies, |
[4940.64 --> 4941.14] is just finding |
[4941.14 --> 4941.90] some of the challenges |
[4941.90 --> 4942.88] that come with sort of |
[4942.88 --> 4944.00] being in the medical space, |
[4944.28 --> 4944.84] being a Christian |
[4944.84 --> 4945.44] in that sphere, |
[4945.86 --> 4946.62] and just thinking about |
[4946.62 --> 4947.30] what kind of authority |
[4947.30 --> 4947.78] does he have, |
[4947.82 --> 4948.64] what kind of influence |
[4948.64 --> 4949.34] does he have. |
[4949.34 --> 4950.72] And he shared with me |
[4950.72 --> 4952.14] one of the convictions he had. |
[4952.24 --> 4952.88] This actually comes |
[4952.88 --> 4953.54] from C.S. Lewis, |
[4953.68 --> 4954.10] and he said, |
[4954.58 --> 4955.82] as I think about my life |
[4955.82 --> 4957.08] and the sphere I'm in now, |
[4957.62 --> 4958.40] I think the way |
[4958.40 --> 4959.40] that I witness to Jesus |
[4959.40 --> 4960.62] is what's called |
[4960.62 --> 4962.00] the bright light |
[4962.00 --> 4963.84] of a life well lived. |
[4964.42 --> 4965.26] Have you ever heard that phrase? |
[4965.96 --> 4966.98] The bright light |
[4966.98 --> 4968.64] of a life well lived. |
[4968.68 --> 4969.42] And that is to say, |
[4969.64 --> 4970.56] the way you live |
[4970.56 --> 4972.56] in the ordinary places you are, |
[4973.00 --> 4973.76] if you are seeking |
[4973.76 --> 4975.20] to live under the authority |
[4975.20 --> 4975.76] of Jesus |
[4975.76 --> 4977.38] and take his word |
[4977.38 --> 4978.68] into practice in your life, |
[4978.68 --> 4980.14] there's a very good chance |
[4980.14 --> 4981.02] that that is going |
[4981.02 --> 4982.58] to speak volumes |
[4982.58 --> 4983.88] about the gospel. |
[4985.18 --> 4986.00] And it's my prayer |
[4986.00 --> 4987.02] that even this week |
[4987.02 --> 4987.86] and this month |
[4987.86 --> 4989.00] that you will have people |
[4989.00 --> 4990.18] who kind of look at you |
[4990.18 --> 4990.70] and they're like |
[4990.70 --> 4991.50] wondering about you |
[4991.50 --> 4992.46] and they just have this hunch, |
[4992.56 --> 4993.88] like this hunch that like, |
[4993.96 --> 4994.90] ah, there's something about you |
[4994.90 --> 4995.80] that's different, right? |
[4996.02 --> 4997.28] There's a way you treat people, |
[4997.36 --> 4998.10] the way you talk, |
[4998.32 --> 4999.36] the way you use your money |
[4999.36 --> 5000.02] that's just like, |
