"simon peter, thomas called the twin,
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:05.541
Thomas called the twin, nathaniel of cana in galilee,
00:01:05.607 --> 00:01:06.975
Nathaniel of cana in galilee, the sons of zebedee,"
00:01:07.042 --> 00:01:08.277
The sons of zebedee," that's james and john,
00:01:08.343 --> 00:01:09.978
That's james and john, "two others of his disciples
00:01:10.045 --> 00:01:11.446
"two others of his disciples were together."
00:01:11.513 --> 00:01:12.648
Were together." all together, seven plus peter,
00:01:12.714 --> 00:01:13.982
All together, seven plus peter, all right?
00:01:14.049 --> 00:01:15.384
All right? "simon peter said to them,
00:01:15.450 --> 00:01:16.451
"simon peter said to them, 'i'm going fishing.'"
00:01:16.518 --> 00:01:18.120
'i'm going fishing.'" so much like simon peter,
00:01:18.187 --> 00:01:19.688
So much like simon peter, all right?
00:01:19.755 --> 00:01:20.255
All right? "i'm going fishing."
00:01:20.322 --> 00:01:22.257
"i'm going fishing." okay,
00:01:22.324 --> 00:01:22.758
Okay, he's a natural born leader.
00:01:22.824 --> 00:01:24.526
He's a natural born leader. the rest just followed him.
00:01:24.593 --> 00:01:25.694
The rest just followed him. "they said to him,
00:01:25.761 --> 00:01:26.295
"they said to him, 'we are going with you also.'
00:01:26.361 --> 00:01:27.663
'we are going with you also.' they went out
00:01:27.729 --> 00:01:28.730
They went out and immediately caught--
00:01:28.797 --> 00:01:30.299
And immediately caught-- got into the boat, and
00:01:30.365 --> 00:01:31.433
Got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing."
00:01:31.500 --> 00:01:34.102
That night they caught nothing." okay, so they went fishing,
00:01:34.169 --> 00:01:35.404
Okay, so they went fishing, "and then in the morning,
00:01:35.470 --> 00:01:36.772
"and then in the morning, jesus stood on the shore,"
00:01:36.838 --> 00:01:38.073
Jesus stood on the shore," this is the third time
00:01:38.140 --> 00:01:38.774
This is the third time he appeared to his disciples
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:40.442
He appeared to his disciples after he was raised
00:01:40.509 --> 00:01:41.743
After he was raised from the dead, all right?
00:01:41.810 --> 00:01:43.312
From the dead, all right? next.
00:01:43.378 --> 00:01:44.680
Next. "then jesus said to them,
00:01:44.746 --> 00:01:45.881
"then jesus said to them, 'children, have you any food?'"
00:01:45.948 --> 00:01:48.183
'children, have you any food?'" he called for them.
00:01:48.250 --> 00:01:49.184
He called for them. "do you have any food?"
00:01:49.251 --> 00:01:50.319
"do you have any food?" "they answered him, 'no.'
00:01:50.385 --> 00:01:52.120
"they answered him, 'no.' and he said to them,
00:01:52.187 --> 00:01:53.155
And he said to them, 'cast the net on the right side
00:01:53.222 --> 00:01:54.423
'cast the net on the right side of the boat."
00:01:54.489 --> 00:01:55.624
Of the boat." it's very interesting that
00:01:55.691 --> 00:01:56.592
It's very interesting that he mentioned the right side,
00:01:56.658 --> 00:01:57.693
He mentioned the right side, not the left side.
00:01:57.759 --> 00:01:58.860
Not the left side. in the bible, the right side,
00:01:58.927 --> 00:02:00.762
In the bible, the right side, like benjamin, binyamin,
00:02:00.829 --> 00:02:03.131
Like benjamin, binyamin, "son of the right hand."
00:02:03.198 --> 00:02:04.366
"son of the right hand." the right place--right hand
00:02:04.433 --> 00:02:05.567
The right place--right hand is upholding the right hand
00:02:05.634 --> 00:02:06.802
Is upholding the right hand of my righteousness.
00:02:06.868 --> 00:02:07.736
Of my righteousness. it's a place of righteousness,
00:02:07.803 --> 00:02:09.371
It's a place of righteousness, the gift of righteousness.
00:02:09.438 --> 00:02:10.472
The gift of righteousness. it's a place of favor,
00:02:10.539 --> 00:02:12.241
It's a place of favor, it's a place of promotion,
00:02:12.307 --> 00:02:14.042
It's a place of promotion, amen?
00:02:14.109 --> 00:02:14.843
Amen? whatever you do, whether you're
00:02:14.910 --> 00:02:16.245
Whatever you do, whether you're a parent, or you do business,
00:02:16.311 --> 00:02:17.946
A parent, or you do business, or whatever you do,
00:02:18.013 --> 00:02:19.081
Or whatever you do, make sure that you come
00:02:19.147 --> 00:02:19.915
Make sure that you come from a posture of favor.
00:02:19.982 --> 00:02:22.384
From a posture of favor. cast your net
00:02:22.451 --> 00:02:23.518
Cast your net from the favor side.
00:02:23.585 --> 00:02:25.254
From the favor side. you got it?
00:02:25.320 --> 00:02:26.655
You got it? now, please don't go out here
00:02:26.722 --> 00:02:27.723
Now, please don't go out here and just walk one step.
00:02:27.789 --> 00:02:29.291
And just walk one step. right hand, do everything
00:02:29.358 --> 00:02:30.792
Right hand, do everything right hand, all right?
00:02:30.859 --> 00:02:32.427
Right hand, all right? look with one eye.
00:02:32.494 --> 00:02:35.530
Look with one eye. please don't get superstitious.
00:02:35.597 --> 00:02:37.232
Please don't get superstitious. it's the principle that
00:02:37.299 --> 00:02:38.433
It's the principle that he's teaching, all right?
00:02:38.500 --> 00:02:40.035
He's teaching, all right? everything physical,
00:02:40.102 --> 00:02:41.003
Everything physical, like i said,
00:02:41.069 --> 00:02:41.737
Like i said, is teaching a wonderful truth.
00:02:41.803 --> 00:02:42.838
Is teaching a wonderful truth. the wisdom is
00:02:42.904 --> 00:02:43.605
The wisdom is in the interpretation.
00:02:43.672 --> 00:02:44.873
In the interpretation. all right, now, jesus says,
00:02:44.940 --> 00:02:47.142
All right, now, jesus says, "'cast the net on
00:02:47.209 --> 00:02:47.843
"'cast the net on the right side of the boat,
00:02:47.909 --> 00:02:48.777
The right side of the boat, and you will find some.'
00:02:48.844 --> 00:02:49.911
And you will find some.' so they cast,
00:02:49.978 --> 00:02:50.679
So they cast, and now they were not able
00:02:50.746 --> 00:02:51.747
And now they were not able to draw it in because
00:02:51.813 --> 00:02:52.681
To draw it in because of the multitude of fish."
00:02:52.748 --> 00:02:53.782
Of the multitude of fish." there was so much fish they were
00:02:53.849 --> 00:02:55.050
There was so much fish they were not able to draw it in, because
00:02:55.117 --> 00:02:57.019
Not able to draw it in, because of the multitude of fish.
00:02:57.085 --> 00:02:59.454
Of the multitude of fish. "therefore that disciple whom
00:02:59.521 --> 00:03:00.889
"therefore that disciple whom jesus loved said to peter,
00:03:00.956 --> 00:03:02.124
Jesus loved said to peter, 'it is the lord!'
00:03:02.190 --> 00:03:03.392
'it is the lord!' now when simon peter
00:03:03.458 --> 00:03:04.626
Now when simon peter heard that it was the lord,
00:03:04.693 --> 00:03:05.961
Heard that it was the lord, he put on his outer garment
00:03:06.028 --> 00:03:07.496
He put on his outer garment (for he had removed it),
00:03:07.562 --> 00:03:08.830
(for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea.
00:03:08.897 --> 00:03:10.432
And plunged into the sea. but the other disciples came
00:03:10.499 --> 00:03:11.667
But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they
00:03:11.733 --> 00:03:13.602
In the little boat (for they were not far from land,
00:03:13.669 --> 00:03:14.636
Were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits),
00:03:14.703 --> 00:03:16.038
But about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish."
00:03:16.104 --> 00:03:17.306
Dragging the net with fish." they had even to drag it.
00:03:17.372 --> 00:03:18.106
They had even to drag it. they cannot put it in the boat,
00:03:18.173 --> 00:03:19.341
They cannot put it in the boat, all right?
00:03:19.408 --> 00:03:19.975
All right? it was so plentiful,
00:03:20.042 --> 00:03:20.942
It was so plentiful, so abundant.
00:03:21.009 --> 00:03:21.777
So abundant. they had to drag it,
00:03:21.843 --> 00:03:22.678
They had to drag it, and it's buoyant in the water,
00:03:22.744 --> 00:03:23.845
And it's buoyant in the water, so it's easier
00:03:23.912 --> 00:03:24.479
So it's easier to drag through the water.
00:03:24.546 --> 00:03:25.814
To drag through the water. and it tells us how far
00:03:25.881 --> 00:03:27.049
200 cubits.
00:03:29.484 --> 00:03:31.053
200 cubits. all right,
00:03:31.119 --> 00:03:32.087
200 cubits. all right, a cubit is from your elbow
00:03:32.154 --> 00:03:33.121
All right, a cubit is from your elbow to your middle finger here.
00:03:33.188 --> 00:03:34.389
A cubit is from your elbow to your middle finger here. that's one cubit.
00:03:34.456 --> 00:03:35.257
To your middle finger here. that's one cubit. so it's about 90 meters,
00:03:35.324 --> 00:03:37.225
That's one cubit. so it's about 90 meters, 90 meters away.
00:03:37.292 --> 00:03:38.527
So it's about 90 meters, 90 meters away. now notice,
00:03:38.593 --> 00:03:39.261
90 meters away. now notice, the moment peter realized,
00:03:39.328 --> 00:03:40.562
Now notice, the moment peter realized, all right, he was topless,
00:03:40.629 --> 00:03:42.864
The moment peter realized, all right, he was topless, he's been working all night.
00:03:42.931 --> 00:03:44.166
All right, he was topless, he's been working all night. the moment he realized
00:03:44.232 --> 00:03:45.067
He's been working all night. the moment he realized it was jesus, he put on
00:03:45.133 --> 00:03:45.967
The moment he realized it was jesus, he put on his outer jacket, right,
00:03:46.034 --> 00:03:47.336
It was jesus, he put on his outer jacket, right, jumped into the water
00:03:47.402 --> 00:03:48.403
His outer jacket, right, jumped into the water to go straight to jesus.
00:03:48.470 --> 00:03:50.005
Jumped into the water to go straight to jesus. now my question is, why?
00:03:50.072 --> 00:03:53.075
To go straight to jesus. now my question is, why? why did peter do that?
00:03:53.141 --> 00:03:54.643
Now my question is, why? why did peter do that? why did peter
00:03:54.710 --> 00:03:55.310
Why did peter do that? why did peter jump into the water
00:03:55.377 --> 00:03:56.545
Why did peter jump into the water and he went straight to jesus?
00:03:56.611 --> 00:03:58.847
Jump into the water and he went straight to jesus? the answer to that question will
00:03:58.914 --> 00:04:00.916
And he went straight to jesus? the answer to that question will answer many questions in your
00:04:00.982 --> 00:04:02.551
The answer to that question will answer many questions in your life, especially the part where
00:04:02.617 --> 00:04:04.219
Answer many questions in your life, especially the part where you say, "now that i'm saved,
00:04:04.286 --> 00:04:05.854
Life, especially the part where you say, "now that i'm saved, now that i'm born again,
00:04:05.921 --> 00:04:07.222
You say, "now that i'm saved, now that i'm born again, now that i'm a child of god,
00:04:07.289 --> 00:04:08.757
Now that i'm born again, now that i'm a child of god, and i see all these things
00:04:08.824 --> 00:04:09.891
Now that i'm a child of god, and i see all these things in myself,
00:04:09.958 --> 00:04:11.660
And i see all these things in myself, how does god think of me?"
00:04:11.727 --> 00:04:14.429
In myself, how does god think of me?" now, why did peter jump into
00:04:14.496 --> 00:04:17.132
How does god think of me?" now, why did peter jump into the water to go to jesus?
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:18.767
Now, why did peter jump into the water to go to jesus? was it because
00:04:18.834 --> 00:04:19.534
The water to go to jesus? was it because he was sin conscious?
00:04:19.601 --> 00:04:20.869
Was it because he was sin conscious? we know that he denied
00:04:20.936 --> 00:04:22.070
He was sin conscious? we know that he denied knowing jesus three times.
00:04:22.137 --> 00:04:23.839
We know that he denied knowing jesus three times. in luke 22, the bible says
00:04:23.905 --> 00:04:25.006
Knowing jesus three times. in luke 22, the bible says in the last supper, jesus said
00:04:25.073 --> 00:04:26.108
In luke 22, the bible says in the last supper, jesus said to peter, "simon, simon!
00:04:26.174 --> 00:04:27.943
In the last supper, jesus said to peter, "simon, simon! satan has desired
00:04:28.009 --> 00:04:29.211
To peter, "simon, simon! satan has desired to sift you like wheat.
00:04:29.277 --> 00:04:31.580
Satan has desired to sift you like wheat. but i have prayed for you,
00:04:31.646 --> 00:04:33.348
To sift you like wheat. but i have prayed for you, that your faith will not fail."
00:04:33.415 --> 00:04:34.916
But i have prayed for you, that your faith will not fail." he did not say, "i prayed
00:04:34.983 --> 00:04:36.084
That your faith will not fail." he did not say, "i prayed for you that you will not fail."
00:04:36.151 --> 00:04:38.120
He did not say, "i prayed for you that you will not fail." he knew he would fail.
00:04:38.186 --> 00:04:39.755
For you that you will not fail." he knew he would fail. "but i prayed for you
00:04:39.821 --> 00:04:40.889
He knew he would fail. "but i prayed for you that your faith will not fail;
00:04:40.956 --> 00:04:43.225
"but i prayed for you that your faith will not fail; and when you are converted,
00:04:43.291 --> 00:04:44.426
That your faith will not fail; and when you are converted, strengthen your brethren,"
00:04:44.493 --> 00:04:45.961
And when you are converted, strengthen your brethren," he said.
00:04:46.027 --> 00:04:47.129
Strengthen your brethren," he said. in other words,
00:04:47.195 --> 00:04:47.863
He said. in other words, jesus prophesied his victory
00:04:47.929 --> 00:04:50.365
In other words, jesus prophesied his victory before he fell.
00:04:50.432 --> 00:04:53.135
Jesus prophesied his victory before he fell. the lord sees you
00:04:53.201 --> 00:04:55.370
Before he fell. the lord sees you in your finished product,
00:04:55.437 --> 00:04:56.972
The lord sees you in your finished product, even before you fall, all right?
00:04:57.038 --> 00:04:59.875
In your finished product, even before you fall, all right? and what did peter say?
00:04:59.941 --> 00:05:01.076
Even before you fall, all right? and what did peter say? peter says, "even if all this,"
00:05:01.143 --> 00:05:02.911
And what did peter say? peter says, "even if all this," the disciples,
00:05:02.978 --> 00:05:04.246
Peter says, "even if all this," the disciples, "even if all of them,"
00:05:04.312 --> 00:05:05.414
The disciples, "even if all of them," he said it
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:06.081
"even if all of them," he said it in front of their face,
00:05:06.148 --> 00:05:07.382
He said it in front of their face, "even if all this deny you,
00:05:07.449 --> 00:05:09.251
In front of their face, "even if all this deny you, i--i'll never deny you.
00:05:09.317 --> 00:05:12.821
"even if all this deny you, i--i'll never deny you. i'll follow you to prison
00:05:12.888 --> 00:05:14.189
I--i'll never deny you. i'll follow you to prison and to death."
00:05:14.256 --> 00:05:15.290
I'll follow you to prison and to death." then jesus looked at peter
00:05:15.357 --> 00:05:16.024
And to death." then jesus looked at peter and says, "peter, before
00:05:16.091 --> 00:05:17.492
Then jesus looked at peter and says, "peter, before the rooster crows this morning,
00:05:17.559 --> 00:05:19.194
And says, "peter, before the rooster crows this morning, you'll deny knowing me
00:05:19.261 --> 00:05:20.262
The rooster crows this morning, you'll deny knowing me three times."
00:05:20.328 --> 00:05:22.030
You'll deny knowing me three times." and we know the story
00:05:22.097 --> 00:05:23.098
Three times." and we know the story how he sat by the fireplace,
00:05:23.165 --> 00:05:24.866
And we know the story how he sat by the fireplace, and jesus has just been seized
00:05:24.933 --> 00:05:26.568
How he sat by the fireplace, and jesus has just been seized by the soldiers, and then
00:05:26.635 --> 00:05:27.903
And jesus has just been seized by the soldiers, and then a woman recognized his accent.
00:05:27.969 --> 00:05:30.205
By the soldiers, and then a woman recognized his accent. it was a galilean accent,
00:05:30.272 --> 00:05:31.306
A woman recognized his accent. it was a galilean accent, it wasn't a jerusalemite accent,
00:05:31.373 --> 00:05:32.841
It was a galilean accent, it wasn't a jerusalemite accent, and she said, "aren't you
00:05:32.908 --> 00:05:33.675
It wasn't a jerusalemite accent, and she said, "aren't you one of his disciples?"
00:05:33.742 --> 00:05:34.643
And she said, "aren't you one of his disciples?" he said, "no,
00:05:34.709 --> 00:05:35.143
One of his disciples?" he said, "no, i do not know the man."
00:05:35.210 --> 00:05:36.578
He said, "no, i do not know the man." and then another person came,
00:05:36.645 --> 00:05:37.579
I do not know the man." and then another person came, "yes, you're one
00:05:37.646 --> 00:05:38.146
And then another person came, "yes, you're one of his disciples."
00:05:38.213 --> 00:05:38.713
"yes, you're one of his disciples." he said,
00:05:38.780 --> 00:05:39.281
Of his disciples." he said, "i do not know the man."
00:05:39.347 --> 00:05:40.115
He said, "i do not know the man." the bible says he cursed and
00:05:40.182 --> 00:05:41.049
"i do not know the man." the bible says he cursed and swore that he never knew jesus.
00:05:41.116 --> 00:05:44.453
The bible says he cursed and swore that he never knew jesus. the third time someone asked
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:45.987
Swore that he never knew jesus. the third time someone asked him, he said, "i never knew
00:05:46.054 --> 00:05:48.390
The third time someone asked him, he said, "i never knew the man," the rooster crowed.
00:05:48.457 --> 00:05:50.692
Him, he said, "i never knew the man," the rooster crowed. and the bible
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:51.593
The man," the rooster crowed. and the bible says it very beautifully
00:05:51.660 --> 00:05:52.427
And the bible says it very beautifully in the gospel of luke.
00:05:52.494 --> 00:05:53.462
Says it very beautifully in the gospel of luke. somewhere when he denied
00:05:53.528 --> 00:05:54.863
In the gospel of luke. somewhere when he denied knowing jesus the third time,
00:05:54.930 --> 00:05:56.465
Somewhere when he denied knowing jesus the third time, jesus turned around
00:05:56.531 --> 00:05:57.966
Knowing jesus the third time, jesus turned around and looked at peter.
00:05:58.033 --> 00:06:00.802
Jesus turned around and looked at peter. jesus prayed for peter
00:06:00.869 --> 00:06:02.003
And looked at peter. jesus prayed for peter that his faith would not fail,
00:06:02.070 --> 00:06:04.639
Jesus prayed for peter that his faith would not fail, and his faith didn't fail,
00:06:04.706 --> 00:06:05.874
That his faith would not fail, and his faith didn't fail, we know the story,
00:06:05.941 --> 00:06:07.375
And his faith didn't fail, we know the story, but that look broke his heart.
00:06:07.442 --> 00:06:10.812
We know the story, but that look broke his heart. so peter went out weeping
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:12.214
But that look broke his heart. so peter went out weeping bitterly, the bible tells us.
00:06:12.280 --> 00:06:15.484
So peter went out weeping bitterly, the bible tells us. but many of us think that
00:06:15.550 --> 00:06:16.685
Bitterly, the bible tells us. but many of us think that this story here, peter jumped
00:06:16.751 --> 00:06:18.453
But many of us think that this story here, peter jumped into the water to go to jesus,
00:06:18.520 --> 00:06:19.521
This story here, peter jumped into the water to go to jesus, now, was that because of
00:06:19.588 --> 00:06:20.789
Into the water to go to jesus, now, was that because of sin consciousness?
00:06:20.856 --> 00:06:22.257
Now, was that because of sin consciousness? you see, if you are sin
00:06:22.324 --> 00:06:23.058
Sin consciousness? you see, if you are sin conscious, if you are aware
00:06:23.124 --> 00:06:26.394
You see, if you are sin conscious, if you are aware of your sins, would you jump
00:06:26.461 --> 00:06:27.696
Conscious, if you are aware of your sins, would you jump into the water to go to the one
00:06:27.762 --> 00:06:29.264
Of your sins, would you jump into the water to go to the one you've just denied knowing him
00:06:29.331 --> 00:06:31.766
Into the water to go to the one you've just denied knowing him three times with cursing
00:06:31.833 --> 00:06:33.201
You've just denied knowing him three times with cursing and swearing?
00:06:33.268 --> 00:06:34.236
Three times with cursing and swearing? no, you'll jump the other side.
00:06:34.302 --> 00:06:37.639
And swearing? no, you'll jump the other side. you will ll try to flee away,
00:06:37.706 --> 00:06:38.640
No, you'll jump the other side. you will ll try to flee away, am i right?
00:06:38.707 --> 00:06:39.841
You will ll try to flee away, am i right? right?
00:06:39.908 --> 00:06:41.376
Am i right? right? or you'll wait, and you'll be
00:06:41.443 --> 00:06:43.311
Right? or you'll wait, and you'll be the last one behind the boat.
00:06:43.378 --> 00:06:44.312
Or you'll wait, and you'll be the last one behind the boat. you'll wait until the boat
00:06:44.379 --> 00:06:46.114
The last one behind the boat. you'll wait until the boat reaches the shore and let
00:06:46.181 --> 00:06:48.216
You'll wait until the boat reaches the shore and let your companions go out first,
00:06:48.283 --> 00:06:50.185
Reaches the shore and let your companions go out first, using your companions,
00:06:50.252 --> 00:06:51.319
Your companions go out first, using your companions, as it were, as a shield.
00:06:51.386 --> 00:06:54.289
Using your companions, as it were, as a shield. but there's something that peter
00:06:54.356 --> 00:06:55.657
As it were, as a shield. but there's something that peter saw in jesus, something
00:06:55.724 --> 00:06:57.058
But there's something that peter saw in jesus, something that peter knew about the lord,
00:06:57.125 --> 00:06:58.960
Saw in jesus, something that peter knew about the lord, that caused him to jump into
00:06:59.027 --> 00:07:00.495
That peter knew about the lord, that caused him to jump into the water and go straight to
00:07:00.562 --> 00:07:02.163
That caused him to jump into the water and go straight to the lord, and he was not afraid
00:07:02.230 --> 00:07:03.965
The water and go straight to the lord, and he was not afraid to be alone with jesus.
00:07:04.032 --> 00:07:07.435
The lord, and he was not afraid to be alone with jesus. what was it?
00:07:07.502 --> 00:07:09.604
To be alone with jesus. what was it? the answer to the question
00:07:09.671 --> 00:07:11.540
What was it? the answer to the question is very important for you
00:07:11.606 --> 00:07:14.175
The answer to the question is very important for you in your walk with god today.

In your walk with god today. he jumped straight and went to jesus.

He jumped straight and went to jesus. was it the law?
00:07:17.245 --> 00:07:18.547
And went to jesus. was it the law? was it because
00:07:18.613 --> 00:07:19.414
Was it the law? was it because he was conscious of the law?
00:07:19.481 --> 00:07:20.415
Was it because he was conscious of the law? no, if it's the law, by the law
00:07:20.482 --> 00:07:22.684
He was conscious of the law? no, if it's the law, by the law is the knowledge of sin.
00:07:22.751 --> 00:07:23.852
No, if it's the law, by the law is the knowledge of sin. the law will condemn him
00:07:23.919 --> 00:07:24.920
Is the knowledge of sin. the law will condemn him for denying the lord jesus.
00:07:24.986 --> 00:07:27.088
The law will condemn him for denying the lord jesus. the law will never empower him
00:07:27.155 --> 00:07:28.557
For denying the lord jesus. the law will never empower him to jump into the water
00:07:28.623 --> 00:07:29.424
The law will never empower him to jump into the water to go to jesus.
00:07:29.491 --> 00:07:30.559
To jump into the water to go to jesus. what was it?
00:07:30.625 --> 00:07:31.893
To go to jesus. what was it? what was it about jesus?
00:07:31.960 --> 00:07:33.595

He knew this: in spite of all my sins, the man who's standing on the shore, he loves me
00:07:37.899 --> 00:07:40.268
My sins, the man who's standing on the shore, he loves me and he's my friend, i know him.

On the shore, he loves me and he's my friend, i know him. yes, i know myself,

And he's my friend, i know him. yes, i know myself, but more than i know myself,

Yes, i know myself, but more than i know myself, i know him.

I know him. yes, my conscience tells me my sins, but more than that,

Yes, my conscience tells me my sins, but more than that, my faith tells me my savior.
00:07:53.815 --> 00:07:56.818
My sins, but more than that, my faith tells me my savior. and my faith says my savior

Oh, come on! and he jumped into the water to go to jesus.
00:08:03.758 --> 00:08:05.927
And he jumped into the water to go to jesus. there's something
00:08:05.994 --> 00:08:06.695
To go to jesus. there's something very precious in his action,
00:08:06.761 --> 00:08:08.563
There's something very precious in his action, something very profound.
00:08:08.630 --> 00:08:10.165

Jesus restored peter, all right? in fact, this one is restoration to ministry, because jesus
00:08:17.405 --> 00:08:19.507
In fact, this one is restoration to ministry, because jesus would restore him three times

To ministry, because jesus would restore him three times with these words:
00:08:20.342 --> 00:08:22.043
Would restore him three times with these words: feed my lamb,

Three times peter denied knowing jesus, and three times the lord says, "take care of my sheep."
00:08:50.472 --> 00:08:52.240

I would trust." jesus says, "he's the first one i trust."
00:09:01.449 --> 00:09:03.752
Jesus says, "he's the first one i trust." somehow,
00:09:03.818 --> 00:09:04.753
"he's the first one i trust." somehow, jesus knows where sin increase,
00:09:04.819 --> 00:09:06.588
Somehow, jesus knows where sin increase, grace superabounds.
00:09:06.655 --> 00:09:07.989
Jesus knows where sin increase, grace superabounds. in fact, this entire chapter 21,
00:09:08.056 --> 00:09:09.290

It seems as if the only one who, besides judas, the only one of the twelve that really denied
00:09:19.134 --> 00:09:21.002
Besides judas, the only one of the twelve that really denied knowing jesus, all right,
00:09:21.069 --> 00:09:22.570
The twelve that really denied knowing jesus, all right, is the one that's given
00:09:22.637 --> 00:09:23.872
Knowing jesus, all right, is the one that's given special honor in this chapter.

Has restored peter already. when jesus restored peter after he rose from the dead,
00:09:38.386 --> 00:09:39.454
When jesus restored peter after he rose from the dead, there's no record in the bible
00:09:39.521 --> 00:09:41.089
After he rose from the dead, there's no record in the bible except a mere mention.
00:09:41.156 --> 00:09:43.091

00:09:56.237 --> 00:09:58.039
A meeting between the disciple and his lord, that the holy spirit shields
00:09:58.106 --> 00:09:59.507
The disciple and his lord, that the holy spirit shields the whole thing
00:09:59.574 --> 00:10:00.709
First is in luke 24.

They walked with jesus, not knowing it was jesus.
00:10:11.653 --> 00:10:12.454
Not knowing it was jesus. finally, jesus disappeared,
00:10:12.520 --> 00:10:13.254
Finally, jesus disappeared, all right, in their house
00:10:13.321 --> 00:10:14.189

After jesus rose from the dead "he was seen by cephas,

Saw jesus, it's not the first time he saw him risen from the dead,
00:12:04.566 --> 00:12:06.167
The first time he saw him risen from the dead, he jumped into the water
00:12:06.234 --> 00:12:07.902
From the dead, he jumped into the water because he had a great sense
00:12:07.969 --> 00:12:11.606

Grace can make you jump and go straight to him, not waiting for the boat to arrive to shore.
00:12:20.014 --> 00:12:22.617
Go straight to him, not waiting for the boat to arrive to shore. only the sense of his love.
00:12:22.684 --> 00:12:23.885

Only the sense of his love. was it a sense of his holiness? no.
00:12:25.353 --> 00:12:26.421

The bible tells us. he did no sin, he knew no sin, in him is no sin.
00:12:35.129 --> 00:12:38.766
He did no sin, he knew no sin, in him is no sin. yet, it was not the sense of
00:12:38.833 --> 00:12:40.435
In him is no sin. yet, it was not the sense of his holiness that caused peter
00:12:40.501 --> 00:12:41.769
Yet, it was not the sense of his holiness that caused peter to jump into the water.
00:12:41.836 --> 00:12:42.704
His holiness that caused peter to jump into the water. in fact, the sense
00:12:42.770 --> 00:12:43.838
To jump into the water. in fact, the sense of his holiness would cause him
00:12:43.905 --> 00:12:44.739
In fact, the sense of his holiness would cause him to see his sin even more.
00:12:44.806 --> 00:12:46.674
Of his holiness would cause him to see his sin even more. it was a sense of his love

To see his sin even more. it was a sense of his love and grace.
00:12:47.709 --> 00:12:49.377
It was a sense of his love and grace. now, do you remember
00:12:49.444 --> 00:12:50.011
And grace. now, do you remember the first time peter met jesus?
00:12:50.078 --> 00:12:52.780
Now, do you remember the first time peter met jesus? now, many of us think that
00:12:52.847 --> 00:12:54.549
The first time peter met jesus? now, many of us think that the boat incident, but actually
00:12:54.616 --> 00:12:55.750
Now, many of us think that the boat incident, but actually the boat incident is one
00:12:55.817 --> 00:12:56.684
The boat incident, but actually the boat incident is one of the first times.
00:12:56.751 --> 00:12:57.385
The boat incident is one of the first times. the first time is found in john
00:12:57.452 --> 00:12:59.087
Of the first times. the first time is found in john 1 when andrew, his brother,
00:12:59.153 --> 00:13:00.955
The first time is found in john 1 when andrew, his brother, peter's brother, when
00:13:01.022 --> 00:13:02.190
1 when andrew, his brother, peter's brother, when he realized--by the way,
00:13:02.257 --> 00:13:03.892
Peter's brother, when he realized--by the way, andrew and peter both are
00:13:03.958 --> 00:13:05.493
He realized--by the way, andrew and peter both are from the city of bethsaida.
00:13:05.560 --> 00:13:07.128
Andrew and peter both are from the city of bethsaida. and andrew, the brother
00:13:07.195 --> 00:13:07.996
From the city of bethsaida. and andrew, the brother of peter, said, "hey peter,
00:13:08.062 --> 00:13:09.464
And andrew, the brother of peter, said, "hey peter, we found the messiah!"
00:13:09.530 --> 00:13:11.599
Of peter, said, "hey peter, we found the messiah!" and he brought his brother simon
00:13:11.666 --> 00:13:13.134
We found the messiah!" and he brought his brother simon to jesus, and when jesus first
00:13:13.201 --> 00:13:14.769
And he brought his brother simon to jesus, and when jesus first laid eyes on peter, he says,
00:13:14.836 --> 00:13:16.404
To jesus, and when jesus first laid eyes on peter, he says, "you are simon, son of jonah.
00:13:16.471 --> 00:13:18.439
Laid eyes on peter, he says, "you are simon, son of jonah. i will call you from now on
00:13:18.506 --> 00:13:20.642
"you are simon, son of jonah. i will call you from now on cephas," in aramaic,
00:13:20.708 --> 00:13:22.310
I will call you from now on cephas," in aramaic, which means a stone.
00:13:22.377 --> 00:13:24.012
Cephas," in aramaic, which means a stone. so jesus nicknamed him cephas.
00:13:24.078 --> 00:13:26.614
Which means a stone. so jesus nicknamed him cephas. that's the first time
00:13:26.681 --> 00:13:27.749
So jesus nicknamed him cephas. that's the first time he met jesus.
00:13:27.815 --> 00:13:28.616
That's the first time he met jesus. but for some strange reason,
00:13:28.683 --> 00:13:29.751
He met jesus. but for some strange reason, he never followed jesus.
00:13:29.817 --> 00:13:31.619
But for some strange reason, he never followed jesus. he went back to fishing.
00:13:31.686 --> 00:13:33.087
He never followed jesus. he went back to fishing. and then another--one of
00:13:33.154 --> 00:13:35.089
He went back to fishing. and then another--one of the first times jesus met peter,
00:13:35.156 --> 00:13:36.291
He was fishing all night,
00:13:38.359 --> 00:13:39.961
He was fishing all night, just like john 21.
00:13:40.028 --> 00:13:41.296
Just like john 21. this luke 5, let's follow luke 5
00:13:41.362 --> 00:13:42.230
This luke 5, let's follow luke 5 right now, one of the first
00:13:42.297 --> 00:13:43.564
Right now, one of the first times peter met jesus.
00:13:43.631 --> 00:13:44.699
Times peter met jesus. "so it was, as the multitude
00:13:44.766 --> 00:13:45.934
"so it was, as the multitude pressed about jesus
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:47.468
Pressed about jesus to hear the word of god,
00:13:47.535 --> 00:13:48.303
To hear the word of god, that he stood by
00:13:48.369 --> 00:13:49.003
That he stood by the lake of gennesaret,"
00:13:49.070 --> 00:13:50.171
The lake of gennesaret," the one you saw on the screen
00:13:50.238 --> 00:13:51.306
The one you saw on the screen just now, the lake,
00:13:51.372 --> 00:13:52.573
Just now, the lake, "and saw two boats
00:13:52.640 --> 00:13:53.508
"and saw two boats standing by the lake; but
00:13:53.574 --> 00:13:54.842
Standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them
00:13:54.909 --> 00:13:55.643
The fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets.
00:13:55.710 --> 00:13:57.312
And were washing their nets. then jesus got into one of
00:13:57.378 --> 00:13:58.613
Then jesus got into one of the boats, which was simon's."
00:13:58.680 --> 00:14:00.148
The boats, which was simon's." i'll tell you something,
00:14:00.214 --> 00:14:01.616
I'll tell you something, whenever jesus steps into
00:14:01.683 --> 00:14:02.317
Whenever jesus steps into your boat, he's setting you up
00:14:02.383 --> 00:14:04.319
Your boat, he's setting you up for a blessing.
00:14:04.385 --> 00:14:05.753
For a blessing. he's setting you up.
00:14:05.820 --> 00:14:07.355
He's setting you up. you know, never feel like,
00:14:07.422 --> 00:14:08.289
You know, never feel like, when jesus comes to you and,
00:14:08.356 --> 00:14:09.657
When jesus comes to you and, you know, he tells you,
00:14:09.724 --> 00:14:10.458
You know, he tells you, "would you like to serve me
00:14:10.525 --> 00:14:11.826
"would you like to serve me as an usher?"
00:14:11.893 --> 00:14:12.660
As an usher?" he's setting you up.
00:14:12.727 --> 00:14:14.295
He's setting you up. don't think for one moment
00:14:14.362 --> 00:14:15.997
Don't think for one moment he wants your ministry.
00:14:16.064 --> 00:14:17.165
He wants your ministry. trust me,
00:14:17.231 --> 00:14:18.066
Trust me, he has myriads of angels.
00:14:18.132 --> 00:14:20.134
He has myriads of angels. you know something else?
00:14:20.201 --> 00:14:21.402
You know something else? the angels never get tired
00:14:21.469 --> 00:14:23.204
The angels never get tired like you can.
00:14:23.271 --> 00:14:24.806
Like you can. so when he comes into your boat,
00:14:24.872 --> 00:14:26.007
So when he comes into your boat, he comes into your family,
00:14:26.074 --> 00:14:27.709
He comes into your family, it's always to set you up
00:14:27.775 --> 00:14:28.509
It's always to set you up for a blessing.
00:14:28.576 --> 00:14:29.510
For a blessing. that's the nature of love,
00:14:29.577 --> 00:14:31.145
That's the nature of love, and he's perfect love, amen.
00:14:31.212 --> 00:14:33.915
And he's perfect love, amen. "and he got into simon peter's
00:14:33.982 --> 00:14:35.149
"and he got into simon peter's boat and asked peter to put out
00:14:35.216 --> 00:14:36.484
Boat and asked peter to put out a little from the land.
00:14:36.551 --> 00:14:37.518
A little from the land. and jesus sat down and thought
00:14:37.585 --> 00:14:39.354
And jesus sat down and thought the multitudes from the boat."
00:14:39.420 --> 00:14:40.621
The multitudes from the boat." we even know what he taught.
00:14:40.688 --> 00:14:42.623
We even know what he taught. it was the sower and the seed.
00:14:42.690 --> 00:14:44.125
It was the sower and the seed. then after he taught,
00:14:44.192 --> 00:14:45.159
Then after he taught, "when he had stopped speaking,
00:14:45.226 --> 00:14:46.627
"when he had stopped speaking, he said to simon,
00:14:46.694 --> 00:14:47.962
He said to simon, 'launch out into the deep
00:14:48.029 --> 00:14:48.963
'launch out into the deep and let down your nets
00:14:49.030 --> 00:14:50.431
And let down your nets for a catch.'
00:14:50.498 --> 00:14:52.033
For a catch.' but simon answered and said
00:14:52.100 --> 00:14:53.368
But simon answered and said to jesus," don't forget,
00:14:53.434 --> 00:14:54.302
To jesus," don't forget, it's one of his first times,
00:14:54.369 --> 00:14:55.236
It's one of his first times, he's new to jesus, all right?
00:14:55.303 --> 00:14:57.805
He's new to jesus, all right? he says, "'master, we have
00:14:57.872 --> 00:14:58.740
He says, "'master, we have toiled all night and caught
00:14:58.806 --> 00:15:00.875
Toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at your
00:15:00.942 --> 00:15:03.411
Nothing; nevertheless at your word i will let down the net.'
00:15:03.478 --> 00:15:05.013
Word i will let down the net.' and when they had done this,
00:15:05.079 --> 00:15:06.047
And when they had done this, they caught
00:15:06.114 --> 00:15:06.781
They caught a great number of fish,
00:15:06.848 --> 00:15:08.016
A great number of fish, and their net was breaking.
00:15:08.082 --> 00:15:10.118
And their net was breaking. so they signaled to their
00:15:10.184 --> 00:15:11.753
So they signaled to their partners," their business
00:15:11.819 --> 00:15:12.754
Partners," their business partners, "in the other boat
00:15:12.820 --> 00:15:14.155
Partners, "in the other boat to come and help them.
00:15:14.222 --> 00:15:15.089
To come and help them. and they came and filled
00:15:15.156 --> 00:15:16.290
And they came and filled both the boats,
00:15:16.357 --> 00:15:17.158
Both the boats, so that they began to sink."
00:15:17.225 --> 00:15:20.461
So that they began to sink." i call this a net-breaking,
00:15:20.528 --> 00:15:21.262
I call this a net-breaking, boat-sinking load of blessings.
00:15:21.329 --> 00:15:25.199
Boat-sinking load of blessings. "when simon peter saw it,
00:15:25.266 --> 00:15:26.701
"when simon peter saw it, he fell down at jesus' knees,
00:15:26.768 --> 00:15:29.237
He fell down at jesus' knees, saying, 'depart from me,
00:15:29.303 --> 00:15:31.539
Saying, 'depart from me, for i am a sinful man, o lord!"
00:15:31.606 --> 00:15:33.941
For i am a sinful man, o lord!" one of the first times he met
00:15:34.008 --> 00:15:35.810
One of the first times he met jesus, what did he sense
00:15:35.877 --> 00:15:37.879
Jesus, what did he sense about the lord?
00:15:37.945 --> 00:15:38.913
He is holy.
00:15:41.716 --> 00:15:43.217
He is holy. but my friends, listen,
00:15:43.284 --> 00:15:45.319
He is holy. but my friends, listen, isn't it amazing
00:15:45.386 --> 00:15:46.120
But my friends, listen, isn't it amazing that in the christian psyche
00:15:46.187 --> 00:15:48.790
Isn't it amazing that in the christian psyche today what is taught?
00:15:48.856 --> 00:15:50.958
That in the christian psyche today what is taught? all right, it's like this.
00:15:51.025 --> 00:15:52.193
Today what is taught? all right, it's like this. when you--yeah,
00:15:52.260 --> 00:15:54.062
All right, it's like this. when you--yeah, you know, you grace people,
00:15:54.128 --> 00:15:54.996
When you--yeah, you know, you grace people, you talk about god's love,
00:15:55.063 --> 00:15:56.030
You know, you grace people, you talk about god's love, god's love all the time,
00:15:56.097 --> 00:15:57.065
You talk about god's love, god's love all the time, you know?
00:15:57.131 --> 00:15:57.632
God's love all the time, you know? and that is basic.
00:15:57.698 --> 00:15:58.866
You know? and that is basic. grace and love is basic.
00:15:58.933 --> 00:16:00.468
And that is basic. grace and love is basic. yeah, god loves you,
00:16:00.535 --> 00:16:01.202
Grace and love is basic. yeah, god loves you, you receive salvation.
00:16:01.269 --> 00:16:02.003
Yeah, god loves you, you receive salvation. but then after that,
00:16:02.070 --> 00:16:02.537
You receive salvation. but then after that, you grow in the lord.
00:16:02.603 --> 00:16:03.638
But then after that, you grow in the lord. when you grow in the lord,
00:16:03.704 --> 00:16:04.439
You grow in the lord. when you grow in the lord, you must know his holiness,
00:16:04.505 --> 00:16:06.707
When you grow in the lord, you must know his holiness, get to know he's holy.
00:16:06.774 --> 00:16:09.010
You must know his holiness, get to know he's holy. he's a holy god.
00:16:09.077 --> 00:16:11.179
Get to know he's holy. he's a holy god. it's almost like you begin
00:16:11.245 --> 00:16:12.513
He's a holy god. it's almost like you begin with grace and love, but then
00:16:12.580 --> 00:16:14.382
It's almost like you begin with grace and love, but then you progress into holiness.
00:16:14.449 --> 00:16:16.150
With grace and love, but then you progress into holiness. so our idea of the lord is this,
00:16:16.217 --> 00:16:18.519
You progress into holiness. so our idea of the lord is this, all right, when you first get
00:16:18.586 --> 00:16:21.122
So our idea of the lord is this, all right, when you first get to know him, you sense his love
00:16:21.189 --> 00:16:22.290
All right, when you first get to know him, you sense his love and grace, all right, and as you
00:16:22.356 --> 00:16:25.259
To know him, you sense his love and grace, all right, and as you grow, you sense his holiness.
00:16:25.326 --> 00:16:27.762
And grace, all right, and as you grow, you sense his holiness. but what we read
00:16:27.829 --> 00:16:28.429
Grow, you sense his holiness. but what we read is the opposite.
00:16:28.496 --> 00:16:31.666
But what we read is the opposite. what we read is that when peter,
00:16:31.732 --> 00:16:32.967
Is the opposite. what we read is that when peter, one of the first times
00:16:33.034 --> 00:16:34.235
What we read is that when peter, one of the first times he first met jesus,
00:16:34.302 --> 00:16:35.369
One of the first times he first met jesus, he sensed his holiness.
00:16:35.436 --> 00:16:37.105
He first met jesus, he sensed his holiness. is jesus holy?
00:16:37.171 --> 00:16:38.539
He sensed his holiness. is jesus holy? yes, but his holiness can go
00:16:38.606 --> 00:16:41.576
Is jesus holy? yes, but his holiness can go to a sinner, to a prostitute,
00:16:41.642 --> 00:16:43.978
Yes, but his holiness can go to a sinner, to a prostitute, to a tax collector, to a leper,
00:16:44.045 --> 00:16:46.581
To a sinner, to a prostitute, to a tax collector, to a leper, touch the leper,
00:16:46.647 --> 00:16:47.748
To a tax collector, to a leper, touch the leper, and cleanse that person,
00:16:47.815 --> 00:16:49.484
Touch the leper, and cleanse that person, restore them back to life
00:16:49.550 --> 00:16:51.285
And cleanse that person, restore them back to life and wholeness.
00:16:51.352 --> 00:16:52.520
Restore them back to life and wholeness. his holiness is not like,
00:16:52.587 --> 00:16:54.322
And wholeness. his holiness is not like, you know, in the old testament
00:16:54.388 --> 00:16:55.490
His holiness is not like, you know, in the old testament where god is kept in the holy
00:16:55.556 --> 00:16:56.991
You know, in the old testament where god is kept in the holy of holies and man is separated
00:16:57.058 --> 00:16:58.392
Where god is kept in the holy of holies and man is separated from god through a thick veil
00:16:58.459 --> 00:16:59.994
Of holies and man is separated from god through a thick veil and through the priest.
00:17:00.061 --> 00:17:01.596
From god through a thick veil and through the priest. no more!
00:17:01.662 --> 00:17:02.930
And through the priest. no more! god has come to man, and
00:17:02.997 --> 00:17:05.266
No more! god has come to man, and he is holy, yes, thrice holy.
00:17:05.333 --> 00:17:07.735
God has come to man, and he is holy, yes, thrice holy. but oh, faith says, "all right,
00:17:07.802 --> 00:17:11.305
He is holy, yes, thrice holy. but oh, faith says, "all right, i see his grace,
00:17:11.372 --> 00:17:12.874
But oh, faith says, "all right, i see his grace, i see his love,"
00:17:12.940 --> 00:17:14.575
I see his grace, i see his love," whereas natural flesh will say,
00:17:14.642 --> 00:17:16.844
I see his love," whereas natural flesh will say, "no, god is holy!
00:17:16.911 --> 00:17:18.346
Whereas natural flesh will say, "no, god is holy! depart from me!
00:17:18.412 --> 00:17:19.447
"no, god is holy! depart from me! i'm a sinful man!"
00:17:19.514 --> 00:17:21.482
Depart from me! i'm a sinful man!" why did peter say, "depart
00:17:21.549 --> 00:17:23.117
I'm a sinful man!" why did peter say, "depart from me, i'm a sinful man"
00:17:23.184 --> 00:17:24.986
Why did peter say, "depart from me, i'm a sinful man" in one of the first times
00:17:25.052 --> 00:17:26.087
From me, i'm a sinful man" in one of the first times he met jesus?
00:17:26.154 --> 00:17:27.155
In one of the first times he met jesus? because he had a sense
00:17:27.221 --> 00:17:28.489
He met jesus? because he had a sense of his holiness
00:17:28.556 --> 00:17:30.491
Because he had a sense of his holiness more than a sense of his love.
00:17:30.558 --> 00:17:32.593
Of his holiness more than a sense of his love. and we got this upside down.
00:17:32.660 --> 00:17:34.328
More than a sense of his love. and we got this upside down. we say that as you grow
00:17:34.395 --> 00:17:35.196
And we got this upside down. we say that as you grow in the lord, you will sense
00:17:35.263 --> 00:17:36.364
We say that as you grow in the lord, you will sense more of his--no, no, no.
00:17:36.430 --> 00:17:37.498
In the lord, you will sense more of his--no, no, no. everyone, everyone,
00:17:37.565 --> 00:17:40.535
More of his--no, no, no. everyone, everyone, when they have the thought
00:17:40.601 --> 00:17:41.636
Everyone, everyone, when they have the thought that god might appear to them in
00:17:41.702 --> 00:17:42.570
When they have the thought that god might appear to them in their bedroom tonight, whatever,
00:17:42.637 --> 00:17:44.305
That god might appear to them in their bedroom tonight, whatever, they're afraid.
00:17:44.372 --> 00:17:45.940
Their bedroom tonight, whatever, they're afraid. why?
00:17:46.007 --> 00:17:47.074
They're afraid. why? because they know
00:17:47.141 --> 00:17:47.975
Why? because they know god loves them?
00:17:48.042 --> 00:17:48.809
Because they know god loves them? no, they know god is holy.
00:17:48.876 --> 00:17:50.144
God loves them? no, they know god is holy. everyone--flesh knows.
00:17:50.211 --> 00:17:51.979
No, they know god is holy. everyone--flesh knows. instinctively, flesh--the flesh
00:17:52.046 --> 00:17:53.848
Everyone--flesh knows. instinctively, flesh--the flesh of man knows god is holy.
00:17:53.915 --> 00:17:56.017
Instinctively, flesh--the flesh of man knows god is holy. doesn't have to be taught.
00:17:56.083 --> 00:18:00.454
Of man knows god is holy. doesn't have to be taught. that's why in the old testament,
00:18:00.521 --> 00:18:01.756
Doesn't have to be taught. that's why in the old testament, as well as in the new,
00:18:01.822 --> 00:18:03.090
That's why in the old testament, as well as in the new, every time the lord appears
00:18:03.157 --> 00:18:05.059
As well as in the new, every time the lord appears to someone, or an angel appears
00:18:05.126 --> 00:18:06.961
Every time the lord appears to someone, or an angel appears to someone, they are afraid.
00:18:07.028 --> 00:18:08.963
To someone, or an angel appears to someone, they are afraid. they will say things like
00:18:09.030 --> 00:18:10.364
To someone, they are afraid. they will say things like manoah, samson's father.
00:18:10.431 --> 00:18:11.632
They will say things like manoah, samson's father. "we die--we have seen the lord,
00:18:11.699 --> 00:18:13.301
Manoah, samson's father. "we die--we have seen the lord, we are going to die!"
00:18:13.367 --> 00:18:14.635
"we die--we have seen the lord, we are going to die!" gideon also, "i'm going to die,
00:18:14.702 --> 00:18:16.337
We are going to die!" gideon also, "i'm going to die, i've seen the lord."
00:18:16.404 --> 00:18:18.306
Gideon also, "i'm going to die, i've seen the lord." everyone have this idea,
00:18:18.372 --> 00:18:19.674
I've seen the lord." everyone have this idea, when they see the lord,
00:18:19.740 --> 00:18:20.775
Everyone have this idea, when they see the lord, they are afraid.
00:18:20.841 --> 00:18:22.543
When they see the lord, they are afraid. why?
00:18:22.610 --> 00:18:23.110
They are afraid. why? no one, when the lord--i've seen
00:18:23.177 --> 00:18:24.512
Why? no one, when the lord--i've seen no one when the lord appears,
00:18:24.579 --> 00:18:25.980
No one, when the lord--i've seen no one when the lord appears, they say, "oh lord,
00:18:26.047 --> 00:18:26.914
No one when the lord appears, they say, "oh lord, thou who loved me so."
00:18:26.981 --> 00:18:28.082
They say, "oh lord, thou who loved me so." what does that tell us?
00:18:28.149 --> 00:18:30.551
Thou who loved me so." what does that tell us? to know his love
00:18:30.618 --> 00:18:31.886
What does that tell us? to know his love takes the holy spirit.
00:18:31.953 --> 00:18:33.688
To know his love takes the holy spirit. flesh, flesh can teach you
00:18:33.754 --> 00:18:35.456
Takes the holy spirit. flesh, flesh can teach you god's holiness,
00:18:35.523 --> 00:18:37.058
Flesh, flesh can teach you god's holiness, and we think that's deep,
00:18:37.124 --> 00:18:39.327
God's holiness, and we think that's deep, but the sense of his love
00:18:39.393 --> 00:18:40.962
And we think that's deep, but the sense of his love and grace, that is faith,
00:18:41.028 --> 00:18:43.731
But the sense of his love and grace, that is faith, that is growth.
00:18:43.798 --> 00:18:45.633
And grace, that is faith, that is growth. when you see more and more
00:18:45.700 --> 00:18:47.268
That is growth. when you see more and more of his love, why do you think
00:18:47.335 --> 00:18:49.003
When you see more and more of his love, why do you think at the end--anyway, many years
00:18:49.070 --> 00:18:51.405
Of his love, why do you think at the end--anyway, many years have passed, all right, okay?
00:18:51.472 --> 00:18:54.208
At the end--anyway, many years have passed, all right, okay? at least three and a--
00:18:54.275 --> 00:18:55.309
Have passed, all right, okay? at least three and a-- more than three years.
00:18:55.376 --> 00:18:58.045
At least three and a-- more than three years. peter now knows jesus,
00:18:58.112 --> 00:18:59.647
More than three years. peter now knows jesus, yet denied knowing him.
00:18:59.714 --> 00:19:00.748
Peter now knows jesus, yet denied knowing him. we can say like,
00:19:00.815 --> 00:19:01.816
Yet denied knowing him. we can say like, he knew the lord for some time,
00:19:01.882 --> 00:19:03.351
We can say like, he knew the lord for some time, he's been saved for some time.
00:19:03.417 --> 00:19:04.452
He knew the lord for some time, he's been saved for some time. we can use that same analogy.
00:19:04.518 --> 00:19:05.953
He's been saved for some time. we can use that same analogy. and yet,
00:19:06.020 --> 00:19:07.188
We can use that same analogy. and yet, he denied knowing the lord
00:19:07.255 --> 00:19:08.055
And yet, he denied knowing the lord with cursing and swearing.
00:19:08.122 --> 00:19:10.324
He denied knowing the lord with cursing and swearing. yet what was the thing
00:19:10.391 --> 00:19:11.559
With cursing and swearing. yet what was the thing that brought him back in love
00:19:11.626 --> 00:19:12.893
Yet what was the thing that brought him back in love to the lord?
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:13.894
That brought him back in love to the lord? the sense of his love,
00:19:13.961 --> 00:19:17.498
To the lord? the sense of his love, his grace.
00:19:17.565 --> 00:19:19.533
The sense of his love, his grace. is the lord still holy?
00:19:19.600 --> 00:19:20.868
His grace. is the lord still holy? oh yes, and he'll forever
00:19:20.935 --> 00:19:22.370
Is the lord still holy? oh yes, and he'll forever be holy.
00:19:22.436 --> 00:19:23.671
Oh yes, and he'll forever be holy. but more than that,
00:19:23.738 --> 00:19:25.072
Be holy. but more than that, he wants us to see he loves you.
00:19:25.139 --> 00:19:28.009
But more than that, he wants us to see he loves you. you see, you will never know
00:19:28.075 --> 00:19:29.310
He wants us to see he loves you. you see, you will never know that you are loved until
00:19:29.377 --> 00:19:30.978
You see, you will never know that you are loved until you know that that person
00:19:31.045 --> 00:19:32.613
That you are loved until you know that that person sees everything about me,
00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:34.315
You know that that person sees everything about me, and the person loves me.
00:19:34.382 --> 00:19:36.017
Sees everything about me, and the person loves me. then you'll feel loved.
00:19:36.083 --> 00:19:37.551
And the person loves me. then you'll feel loved. i remember some years ago i
00:19:37.618 --> 00:19:38.786
Then you'll feel loved. i remember some years ago i asked the lord, have you noticed
00:19:38.853 --> 00:19:40.087
I remember some years ago i asked the lord, have you noticed the lord is--you know, you never
00:19:40.154 --> 00:19:42.323
Asked the lord, have you noticed the lord is--you know, you never find jesus speaking strong words
00:19:42.390 --> 00:19:44.058
The lord is--you know, you never find jesus speaking strong words against tax collectors,
00:19:44.125 --> 00:19:46.127
Find jesus speaking strong words against tax collectors, against prostitutes, never,
00:19:46.193 --> 00:19:49.030
Against tax collectors, against prostitutes, never, but jesus uses strong words
00:19:49.096 --> 00:19:51.165
Against prostitutes, never, but jesus uses strong words on pharisees,
00:19:51.232 --> 00:19:53.167
But jesus uses strong words on pharisees, self-righteous bigots.
00:19:53.234 --> 00:19:55.136
On pharisees, self-righteous bigots. he used words like, "woe to you,
00:19:55.202 --> 00:19:57.171
Self-righteous bigots. he used words like, "woe to you, you brood of snakes,"
00:19:57.238 --> 00:19:58.739
He used words like, "woe to you, you brood of snakes," but he never used those words
00:19:58.806 --> 00:20:01.275
You brood of snakes," but he never used those words on sinners.
00:20:01.342 --> 00:20:02.910
But he never used those words on sinners. he never used words
00:20:02.977 --> 00:20:04.111
On sinners. he never used words like "you brood of snakes"
00:20:04.178 --> 00:20:06.013
He never used words like "you brood of snakes" on tax collectors,
00:20:06.080 --> 00:20:08.249
Like "you brood of snakes" on tax collectors, on prostitutes.
00:20:08.316 --> 00:20:10.518
On tax collectors, on prostitutes. but when a pharisee come
00:20:10.584 --> 00:20:11.752
On prostitutes. but when a pharisee come and they have attitude
00:20:11.819 --> 00:20:12.486
But when a pharisee come and they have attitude of self-righteousness,
00:20:12.553 --> 00:20:13.454
And they have attitude of self-righteousness, finger-wagging religion,
00:20:13.521 --> 00:20:16.857
Of self-righteousness, finger-wagging religion, you all got to stand before god
00:20:16.924 --> 00:20:18.559
Finger-wagging religion, you all got to stand before god in the judgment seat.
00:20:18.626 --> 00:20:20.461
You all got to stand before god in the judgment seat. when your belief is wrong,
00:20:20.528 --> 00:20:23.097
In the judgment seat. when your belief is wrong, you live wrong.
00:20:23.164 --> 00:20:25.132
When your belief is wrong, you live wrong. when you believe right,
00:20:25.199 --> 00:20:27.034
You live wrong. when you believe right, you live right.
00:20:27.101 --> 00:20:28.969
When you believe right, you live right. when i see people pointing
00:20:29.036 --> 00:20:30.137
You live right. when i see people pointing their fingers and acting like
00:20:30.204 --> 00:20:31.172
When i see people pointing their fingers and acting like a pharisee, i know the problem
00:20:31.238 --> 00:20:33.541
Their fingers and acting like a pharisee, i know the problem is believing wrong.
00:20:33.607 --> 00:20:38.479
A pharisee, i know the problem is believing wrong. these people have a sense
00:20:38.546 --> 00:20:39.447
Is believing wrong. these people have a sense of god's holiness,
00:20:39.513 --> 00:20:40.648
These people have a sense of god's holiness, but not a sense of his grace.
00:20:40.715 --> 00:20:42.650
Of god's holiness, but not a sense of his grace. the pharisees, they pretend to
00:20:42.717 --> 00:20:44.952
But not a sense of his grace. the pharisees, they pretend to be custodians of god's holiness
00:20:45.019 --> 00:20:46.887
The pharisees, they pretend to be custodians of god's holiness and crucified jesus.
00:20:46.954 --> 00:20:50.491
Be custodians of god's holiness and crucified jesus. why do you think they're
00:20:50.558 --> 00:20:51.559
And crucified jesus. why do you think they're concerned about jesus healing
00:20:51.625 --> 00:20:52.460
Why do you think they're concerned about jesus healing on the sabbath day and all
00:20:52.526 --> 00:20:53.694
Concerned about jesus healing on the sabbath day and all the other concerns they have?
00:20:53.761 --> 00:20:54.929
On the sabbath day and all the other concerns they have? it's not because they're out for
00:20:54.995 --> 00:20:55.963
The other concerns they have? it's not because they're out for sin, they're out for the law.
00:20:56.030 --> 00:20:59.567
It's not because they're out for sin, they're out for the law. so we can say they have a great
00:20:59.633 --> 00:21:00.801
Sin, they're out for the law. so we can say they have a great sense of god's holiness but not
00:21:00.868 --> 00:21:02.370
So we can say they have a great sense of god's holiness but not a sense of his love and grace.
00:21:02.436 --> 00:21:04.238
Sense of god's holiness but not a sense of his love and grace. it takes maturity to grow
00:21:04.305 --> 00:21:07.541
A sense of his love and grace. it takes maturity to grow in the sense of his love
00:21:07.608 --> 00:21:10.344
It takes maturity to grow in the sense of his love and his grace.
00:21:10.411 --> 00:21:13.681
In the sense of his love and his grace. isn't it amazing,
00:21:13.748 --> 00:21:14.915
And his grace. isn't it amazing, one of the first times peter
00:21:14.982 --> 00:21:16.317
Isn't it amazing, one of the first times peter saw jesus, he had a great sense
00:21:16.384 --> 00:21:18.085
One of the first times peter saw jesus, he had a great sense of his holiness?
00:21:18.152 --> 00:21:19.286
Saw jesus, he had a great sense of his holiness? later on when he knew the lord
00:21:19.353 --> 00:21:20.955
Of his holiness? later on when he knew the lord and how the lord sees him
00:21:21.021 --> 00:21:22.656
Later on when he knew the lord and how the lord sees him with all his sins,
00:21:22.723 --> 00:21:23.924
And how the lord sees him with all his sins, having denied the lord,
00:21:23.991 --> 00:21:25.226
With all his sins, having denied the lord, and the lord still loved him,
00:21:25.292 --> 00:21:26.761
Having denied the lord, and the lord still loved him, he jumped into the water
00:21:26.827 --> 00:21:28.429
And the lord still loved him, he jumped into the water to go to the lord.
00:21:28.496 --> 00:21:29.930
He jumped into the water to go to the lord. i'm here to tell you, church,
00:21:29.997 --> 00:21:31.165
To go to the lord. i'm here to tell you, church, jesus christ is the same
00:21:31.232 --> 00:21:33.100
I'm here to tell you, church, jesus christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
00:21:33.167 --> 00:21:39.373
Jesus christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. amen?
00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:41.142
Yesterday, today, and forever. amen? amen.
00:21:41.208 --> 00:21:42.910
Amen? amen. see, jesus loved the pharisees
00:21:42.977 --> 00:21:44.278
Amen. see, jesus loved the pharisees as well, but as long as they
00:21:44.345 --> 00:21:46.480
See, jesus loved the pharisees as well, but as long as they put a veneer--even though
00:21:46.547 --> 00:21:48.649
As well, but as long as they put a veneer--even though jesus loved them,
00:21:48.716 --> 00:21:49.750
Put a veneer--even though jesus loved them, they cannot feel jesus's love.
00:21:49.817 --> 00:21:51.919
Jesus loved them, they cannot feel jesus's love. it's almost like he has
00:21:51.986 --> 00:21:52.586
They cannot feel jesus's love. it's almost like he has to strip by using strong words,
00:21:52.653 --> 00:21:55.823
It's almost like he has to strip by using strong words, that veneer,
00:21:55.890 --> 00:21:56.824
To strip by using strong words, that veneer, so that his love can penetrate.
00:21:56.891 --> 00:21:58.993
That veneer, so that his love can penetrate. and it did, at least for one
00:21:59.059 --> 00:22:00.461
So that his love can penetrate. and it did, at least for one pharisee named nicodemus.
00:22:00.528 --> 00:22:03.197
And it did, at least for one pharisee named nicodemus. and we're so afraid,
00:22:03.264 --> 00:22:04.532
Pharisee named nicodemus. and we're so afraid, we come to the lord and we act,
00:22:04.598 --> 00:22:06.267
And we're so afraid, we come to the lord and we act, you know, put up a lot of front.
00:22:06.333 --> 00:22:07.668
We come to the lord and we act, you know, put up a lot of front. people come to church,
00:22:07.735 --> 00:22:08.669
You know, put up a lot of front. people come to church, and then they--at that time,
00:22:08.736 --> 00:22:10.638
People come to church, and then they--at that time, they don't use bad words,
00:22:10.704 --> 00:22:11.505
And then they--at that time, they don't use bad words, they don't do anything.
00:22:11.572 --> 00:22:14.241
They don't use bad words, they don't do anything. it's because you're
00:22:14.308 --> 00:22:15.009
They don't do anything. it's because you're in the presence of god.
00:22:15.075 --> 00:22:17.044
It's because you're in the presence of god. but they step out, and
00:22:17.111 --> 00:22:18.546
In the presence of god. but they step out, and that's why--that's what happens
00:22:18.612 --> 00:22:20.014
But they step out, and that's why--that's what happens when you believe wrong.
00:22:20.080 --> 00:22:21.515
That's why--that's what happens when you believe wrong. when you think a church is
00:22:21.582 --> 00:22:22.516
When you believe wrong. when you think a church is a building, when you think
00:22:22.583 --> 00:22:24.418
When you think a church is a building, when you think a church is a building,
00:22:24.485 --> 00:22:25.686
A building, when you think a church is a building, you start behaving
00:22:25.753 --> 00:22:26.754
A church is a building, you start behaving when you're in the building.
00:22:26.821 --> 00:22:28.656
You start behaving when you're in the building. but when you're in somewhere
00:22:28.722 --> 00:22:29.423
When you're in the building. but when you're in somewhere else, you act different.
00:22:29.490 --> 00:22:31.225
But when you're in somewhere else, you act different. believe wrong, you live wrong.
00:22:31.292 --> 00:22:33.127
Else, you act different. believe wrong, you live wrong. but the thing is this,
00:22:33.194 --> 00:22:33.961
Believe wrong, you live wrong. but the thing is this, church, listen.
00:22:34.028 --> 00:22:35.129
But the thing is this, church, listen. it's the sense of his love
00:22:35.196 --> 00:22:36.564
Church, listen. it's the sense of his love and grace that changes
00:22:36.630 --> 00:22:37.665
It's the sense of his love and grace that changes people's lives.
00:22:37.731 --> 00:22:40.267
And grace that changes people's lives. the only thing that can change
00:22:40.334 --> 00:22:41.368
People's lives. the only thing that can change our lives, even our lives today,
00:22:41.435 --> 00:22:43.137
The only thing that can change our lives, even our lives today, is the love of god.
00:22:43.204 --> 00:22:44.905
Our lives, even our lives today, is the love of god. you see, faith is not seeing god
00:22:44.972 --> 00:22:47.007
Is the love of god. you see, faith is not seeing god as a judge.
00:22:47.074 --> 00:22:48.509
You see, faith is not seeing god as a judge. is god a judge?
00:22:48.576 --> 00:22:49.310
As a judge. is god a judge? oh, yes.
00:22:49.376 --> 00:22:50.344
Is god a judge? oh, yes. when jesus comes again,
00:22:50.411 --> 00:22:51.312
Oh, yes. when jesus comes again, the whole world will know
00:22:51.378 --> 00:22:52.046
When jesus comes again, the whole world will know he's a judge.
00:22:52.112 --> 00:22:53.414
The whole world will know he's a judge. but that's not faith.
00:22:53.481 --> 00:22:54.849
He's a judge. but that's not faith. faith is seeing god now
00:22:54.915 --> 00:22:56.050
But that's not faith. faith is seeing god now as a savior, which is how
00:22:56.116 --> 00:22:58.085
Faith is seeing god now as a savior, which is how he wants to be seen.
00:22:58.152 --> 00:22:59.820
As a savior, which is how he wants to be seen. faith is seeing jesus
00:22:59.887 --> 00:23:01.255
He wants to be seen. faith is seeing jesus in his love for you.
00:23:01.322 --> 00:23:02.923
Faith is seeing jesus in his love for you. that's how he wants to be seen,
00:23:02.990 --> 00:23:04.625
In his love for you. that's how he wants to be seen, and that is faith.
00:23:04.692 --> 00:23:05.960
That's how he wants to be seen, and that is faith. when someone sees jesus
00:23:06.026 --> 00:23:06.927
And that is faith. when someone sees jesus in his love, i'm telling you,
00:23:06.994 --> 00:23:08.295
When someone sees jesus in his love, i'm telling you, it pleases the lord.
00:23:08.362 --> 00:23:09.263
In his love, i'm telling you, it pleases the lord. he has food to eat
00:23:09.330 --> 00:23:10.331
It pleases the lord. he has food to eat we don't even know of.

That he gave his only begotten son."

His only begotten son." the world here
00:24:55.502 --> 00:24:56.136
The world here is a world of sinners.
00:24:56.203 --> 00:24:57.638
Is a world of sinners. a world that doesn't care about

A world that doesn't care about him, a world that's profane,
00:24:58.739 --> 00:25:01.041
Him, a world that's profane, a world that has gone so astray

They don't care. but god cares,
00:25:07.548 --> 00:25:08.882
But god cares, and god loved them,
00:25:08.949 --> 00:25:10.851
And god loved them, and god sent his son,
00:25:10.918 --> 00:25:12.019
And god sent his son, jesus christ, to die
00:25:12.086 --> 00:25:13.253
Jesus christ, to die on that cross for all our sins.
00:25:13.320 --> 00:25:15.222
On that cross for all our sins. none of us can say

Must punish sin. if god does not punish sin,
00:25:29.303 --> 00:25:30.804
If god does not punish sin, god is not holy.
00:25:30.871 --> 00:25:32.406
God is not holy. but god is holy, but god is
00:25:32.473 --> 00:25:34.408
But god is holy, but god is love, and doesn't want to punish
00:25:34.475 --> 00:25:35.776
