- 1:47John chapters 8
- 1:49through1 uh and oh it's a good day I'm
- 1:53so excited okay because Jesus is at uh
- 1:56he's at the Feast of Tabernacles Al the
- 1:59otherwise known as the Feast of booths
- 2:01and uh a tabernacle is a booth so if
- 2:04that makes sense okay well a tabernacle
- 2:06is a tent and what the Jewish people
- 2:09would do during the Feast of Tabernacle
- 2:11is create these little booths to kind of
- 2:13reenact the days where they lived out in
- 2:15the wilderness okay leaving the leaving
- 2:18Egypt okay on the route of the Exodus
- 2:21like going out to the Wilderness okay so
- 2:23uh we're in John chapter 8 and10 but
- 2:25we've got to kind of talk about John
- 2:27chapter 7 a little bit so even though
- 2:29our reading the day is John chapter 8
- 2:30and 10 John chapters 7-1 is actually a a
- 2:34block of teaching that's in John's
- 2:36gospel and some days you know the
- 2:39reading plan and the actual text of
- 2:41scriptures like really line up in terms
- 2:43of the blocks but it's fine we'll dip
- 2:45back if you haven't done the reading
- 2:47today go ahead and make sure you read
- 2:48John chapters 8 through1 uh so that
- 2:52everything that we're talking about will
- 2:53make sense uh this platform is not
- 2:56designed to be a substitute okay for you
- 3:00actually reading the Bible we want it to
- 3:02be a supplement to you reading the Bible
- 3:03so um go and do the reading if you have
- 3:06done the reading guys let's dive into
- 3:10John chapters 89 and 10 I'm super
- 3:13excited all right so John chapter 7
- 3:15verse one it says this I'm just going to
- 3:19read it straight out of my Bible uh John
- 3:21chapter 7 verse1 says after this Jesus
- 3:24went about in Galilee he would not go
- 3:27about in Judea because the Jews were
- 3:30seeking to kill him now the Jews Feast
- 3:33of Booth uh was at hand so his brother
- 3:36said to him leave here and go to Judea
- 3:39that your
- 3:40disciples Also may see the works you are
- 3:42doing for no one works in secret if he
- 3:45seeks to be known openly if you do these
- 3:47things show yourself to the world for
- 3:49not even his brothers believed him so
- 3:51they're not saying this with good
- 3:52intentions they're saying this cuz
- 3:53they're freaking jerks he says he's not
- 3:56going to go uh his brothers go up to the
- 3:58feast in verse
- 4:0010 uh it says this in verse 10 it says
- 4:04but after his brothers had gone up to
- 4:06the feast then he also went up not
- 4:09publicly but in private okay so we get
- 4:12Jesus at the Feast of Tabernacles and
- 4:14Jesus is going to be at the Feast of
- 4:16Tabernacles all through chapter 7 all
- 4:18through chapter 8 all through chapter 9
- 4:20all the way up to chapter 10 verse 21 um
- 4:24so we got a lot and then chapter 10: 22
- 4:29it says at that time the Feast of
- 4:31dedication took place in Jerusalem okay
- 4:33so this is Hanukkah okay so Jesus goes
- 4:36from one Feast right to another in terms
- 4:39of um like the narrative flow of the
- 4:41Book of John and so all of this content
- 4:44from chapter 7 uh all the way to 10:21
- 4:49Jesus is at the Feast of Tabernacle so
- 4:51in order to have context for what's
- 4:53going on in this chunk of scripture like
- 4:56in terms of these passages we really
- 4:58have to understand what is the Feast of
- 5:01Tabernacles okay so first thing you need
- 5:03to know is that the Feast of Tabernacles
- 5:05I'm just going to go ahead and read out
- 5:07of the dictionary of Jesus and the
- 5:09gospels which behind me somewhere uh I
- 5:12think it's I think it's like right there
- 5:16is a the dictionary of Jesus and the
- 5:18gospels yeah it is it's the second book
- 5:20right there uh dictionary of Jesus and
- 5:22the gospels says this the Feast of
- 5:24Tabernacles uh was the most important
- 5:26and well attended pilgrimages even more
- 5:29than Passover okay so the Fe of
- 5:32Tabernacles is a big big big big deal
- 5:34feas of Tabernacles is going to
- 5:36celebrate or commemorate three things
- 5:39okay number one they're all from Exodus
- 5:42by the way okay think Tabernacle okay
- 5:45the construction of the Tabernacle
- 5:46happen in the book of Exodus so the
- 5:48Feast of Tabernacles is really centered
- 5:50around uh the book of Exodus in the
- 5:53events of the Exodus okay so three
- 5:56things that the Feast of Tabernacles is
- 5:58going to celebrate number one
- 6:00is water from the rock okay uh remember
- 6:04uh there's the miracle of water coming
- 6:08out of a rock uh number two is going to
- 6:11be the giving of the Divine name in
- 6:13Exodus chapter 3 where the the name
- 6:16Yahweh gets revealed okay I am that I am
- 6:19and number number three number one water
- 6:22from the rock number two the giving of
- 6:24the Divine name number three the pillar
- 6:27of fire and Cloud that accompanied
- 6:31Israel as they left Egypt these are the
- 6:34three events that are celebrated at the
- 6:36Feast of Tabernacles now how did they
- 6:39celebrate this stuff well great the way
- 6:43they celebrated water from the rock
- 6:45remember they're standing out in the
- 6:46desert okay it's hot in terms of the
- 6:49calendar year this would be like dry
- 6:51season okay so this is like everyone's
- 6:54naturally thirsty you're out in you're
- 6:56out in the hot sun and the
- 7:00priests would take water from the pool
- 7:03of salom and bring it to the temple it's
- 7:06like this massive Water Festival and
- 7:08start dumping out water to to reenact or
- 7:12to commemorate the miracle of God
- 7:15providing water from The Rock when they
- 7:17were out in the wilderness this is the
- 7:19context okay you can read about this in
- 7:22Exodus chapter 17 verses
- 7:261-7 like if you're tracking that's think
- 7:29about this okay in the middle of that
- 7:34Jesus is going to say if anyone is
- 7:38thirsty okay so now Jesus is going to
- 7:41use what's happening as like a
- 7:44demonstration for a revelation of his
- 7:47identity when you know like the backdrop
- 7:50of actually what's happening at the
- 7:52festival or at the feast Jesus's words
- 7:55boom I mean it's like click light bulb
- 7:57moment I remember the first time I
- 7:59realized oh what Jesus is saying is not
- 8:02random or arbitrary um Jesus's words
- 8:07here are highly contextual and then
- 8:11obviously Jesus promises right um if
- 8:13anyone would put their faith in him that
- 8:16they would have living water that they
- 8:18would have Living Water um bubbling over
- 8:21from the inside that from their belly
- 8:23would flow rivers of Living Water all
- 8:26right let's actually now move to the
- 8:29second thing that was celebrated was the
- 8:30giving of the Divine name uh this is
- 8:32rooted in Exodus chapter 3 and this is
- 8:35God saying to Moses I am that I am well
- 8:38guess what we have in in John chapter
- 8:408:24 8:28 and 858 we have Jesus saying
- 8:45multiple times like before Abraham was I
- 8:48am okay so in the middle of a festival
- 8:51where they're celebrating the giving of
- 8:53the Divine name which is I am that I am
- 8:56Jesus is going to say I am okay I am I
- 9:00am I am this happens three times John
- 9:03chap 8:24 John chapter 8:28 and John
- 9:07chap
- 9:08858 uh and the last thing that would
- 9:10have happened would was going to be uh a
- 9:13reenactment or a celebration of the
- 9:15pillar of cloud and fire the root for
- 9:18this is Exodus chapter 13 okay so so far
- 9:21we've celebrated or reenacted Exodus
- 9:23chapter 17 Exodus chapter 3 and now
- 9:25we're going to get Exodus chapter 13
- 9:28celebrated or reenacted in the Feast of
- 9:31Tabernacles and here's how the Jews
- 9:33would celebrate the pillar of fire um
- 9:36they would put on this spectacular light
- 9:38show to symbolize how Yahweh LED them
- 9:40out of Egypt uh you'd have these huge
- 9:42Manas and you'd have like torch dancing
- 9:45the high priests the chief priest um
- 9:48would all uh do these like elaborate
- 9:50torch dances also in everyone's Booth
- 9:54like throughout Jerusalem um they would
- 9:57get these little like land LNS okay and
- 10:00so in the middle of this okay um Jesus
- 10:05says I am the light of the
- 10:09world once you realize that like oh it's
- 10:14an illustrated seron like although we
- 10:17just don't know the illustrations okay
- 10:20all we have is Jesus's words we're not
- 10:23understanding that there's context for
- 10:25like why Jesus is choosing to say the
- 10:27things that he's saying okay so that
- 10:29that's all of our context clues not only
- 10:31did I give you one context clue I give
- 10:32you three for today because there's
- 10:34three things that the Feast of
- 10:35Tabernacles really celebrates and
- 10:38naturally leads into um this next thing
- 10:41so like let's think about it let's think
- 10:44you know you're at this Feast of
- 10:45Tabernacles everybody's leaving their
- 10:46house tons of pilgrims somebody's bound
- 10:49to end up in the wrong bed with somebody
- 10:52John chapter 8 uh opens and honestly
- 10:55this is like one of my favorite stories
- 10:57in the entire Bible the scribes and the
- 10:59Pharisees brought a woman who had been
- 11:01caught in adultery and placing her in in
- 11:05the midst they said to Jesus teacher
- 11:07this woman has been caught in the act of
- 11:09adultery now the law of Moses commands
- 11:11us to Stone her such women what do you
- 11:15say this they said to test him that they
- 11:19might have some charge to bring against
- 11:21him Jesus bent down and wrote with his
- 11:25finger on the ground now I've heard a
- 11:28lot of sermons of about what Jesus could
- 11:30have possibly wrote with his finger in
- 11:32the ground let me give you my hunch for
- 11:37what I Think Jesus actually wrote in the
- 11:39ground I think that Jesus would have
- 11:41written the passage of scripture in the
- 11:42ground okay that seems like something
- 11:44Jesus would do and let's go to the
- 11:46passage of scripture that I Think Jesus
- 11:48would have written into the ground it's
- 11:50Deuteronomy 22:22 because remember they
- 11:54are saying that the law of Moses they're
- 11:56quoting the law of Moses to Jesus I
- 11:58think he knows the law of Moses better
- 11:59than they do okay uh it says this in
- 12:02Deuteronomy
- 12:0422:22 which is what I Think Jesus is
- 12:08writing in the ground okay I also think
- 12:10he would have written down Leviticus
- 12:1220:10 but we'll go to Leviticus after we
- 12:14uh read Deuteronomy Deuteronomy
- 12:1722:22 if a man is found sleeping with
- 12:20another man's wife both keyword both
- 12:25both the man who slept with her and the
- 12:28woman must die you must Purge the evil
- 12:32from Israel so who's supposed to get
- 12:34stoned the man and the woman who do they
- 12:38bring only the woman so I think Jesus is
- 12:41beating them at their own game because
- 12:43remember they want to bring a charge
- 12:44against him they want to bring a legal
- 12:46charge against Jesus for breaking Torah
- 12:48so what does Jesus write in the ground
- 12:50he writes Torah okay what does Leviticus
- 12:53uh chapter 20:1 say says this if a man
- 12:56commits adultery with another man's wife
- 12:59with the wife of his neighbor both
- 13:02keyword both the
- 13:04adulterer and the
- 13:06adulteress are to be put to death and so
- 13:10what have the chief priests done they've
- 13:12broken Torah that's what they've done
- 13:15they've broken Torah by only bringing
- 13:17the woman clearly she's not committing
- 13:19adultery by herself she wasn't caught in
- 13:22the act of adultery by herself she's
- 13:25caught in the act of adultery with
- 13:27someone and they don't bring the guy if
- 13:30you caught the woman in the ACT where's
- 13:32the dude clearly the guy's there he's
- 13:34present and they chose not to bring him
- 13:37which platforms it literally platforms
- 13:41their sexism their misogyny okay uh now
- 13:46I'm all about patriarchy I actually
- 13:48think we need a Resurgence of patriarchy
- 13:50but when patriarchy begins to be
- 13:52misogynistic uh this is why people have
- 13:54a bad taste in their mouth when it comes
- 13:56to patriarchy so I'm all about
- 13:58patriarchy I'm I'm a patriarch like I I
- 14:00believe that it's my responsibility to
- 14:03protect my wife and my son and our
- 14:06future children and provide for them and
- 14:08protect them and be present um be a
- 14:10priest for my home I'm a patriarchy I
- 14:12believe that it's my job to secure
- 14:14property and and wealth and and and all
- 14:18that for my family for my son for our
- 14:20future children like I'm all about it
- 14:23but the moment the patriarchy begins to
- 14:26oppress women well now we have a problem
- 14:28and in society we don't typically
- 14:31correct we overcorrect I think we're
- 14:33seeing an overcorrection and I hope we
- 14:35don't overcorrect in the opposite way I
- 14:37hope we don't just keep swinging from
- 14:38pendulum to pendulum to pendulum like I
- 14:41hope at one point we stop the
- 14:43polarization and just get to balance
- 14:45intention Bible Department family my
- 14:47brand new book crushing chaos is out and
- 14:50the trailer is fire but you don't have
- 14:53to take my word for it you can watch it
- 14:56for yourself right now
- 15:02yeah what if I told you Dragons Were
- 15:07Real for the original audience of
- 15:10Genesis Dragons Were a common symbol
- 15:14that represented Chaos Dragons were
- 15:17normal in the ancient world and so were
- 15:20the deities that conquered them the
- 15:23Babylonian god named Marduk conquered
- 15:25the dragon named tiami the Egyptian sun
- 15:28god named ra had to conquer a dragon
- 15:31called apep in the Canaanite god that
- 15:33many of us know from the Old Testament
- 15:35named Bale had to conquer a seven-headed
- 15:38dragon named loton so when the original
- 15:41audience of Genesis heard about a beast
- 15:44tempting Adam and Eve in the garden they
- 15:47wouldn't have pictured a slithering
- 15:49snake oh no they would have pictured a
- 15:52ferocious chaos Dragon the original
- 15:55audience would only have one question
- 15:58who's going going to conquer this Dragon
- 16:01Yahweh will not conquer this Dragon
- 16:05Yahweh is not like any of the other gods
- 16:08he is not like Marduk he is not like ra
- 16:11or Bale he has no rival he has no equal
- 16:14the dragon is not his adversary to
- 16:16conquer but Adam and Eve's adversary to
- 16:19conquer by partnering with chaos they
- 16:22became the Beast they were called
- 16:24conquer who will conquer the dragon
- 16:27Jesus crushed the head of the Dragon who
- 16:30tempted Adam and Eve but the monster in
- 16:32the mirror still lives and I want to
- 16:35invite you to tame the Beast Within and
- 16:39to partner with God in subduing and
- 16:42ordering the cosmos around you the only
- 16:45question left is this how do we crush
- 16:49the chaos that we've become
- 17:00let me get off my Soap Box what do I
- 17:02Think Jesus is writing I think
- 17:04context would suggest he's he wrote
- 17:07Deuteronomy 22:22 he wrote Leviticus
- 17:1120:10 because how do they respond they
- 17:13drop their stones and they leave because
- 17:15I think they realize there's no legal
- 17:18charge to act to Stone The Woman these
- 17:20two passages of scripture are actually
- 17:22the only thing to me that really makes a
- 17:25lot of sense then uh we're going to get
- 17:27into John 10
- 17:29which Jesus in John 10 is going we're
- 17:32going to get these famous verses about
- 17:35the Good Shepherd okay is going to get
- 17:37contrasted with the thief that comes to
- 17:39steal kill and destroy now here's what
- 17:41we love to do in church we take this
- 17:42verse out of context and we act like
- 17:44it's talking about the devil the reality
- 17:46is not talking about the devil okay when
- 17:48the Bible says that the thief comes this
- 17:49is verse number 10 John 1010 the thief
- 17:54comes to steal and kill and destroy I
- 17:55come that they may have life and have it
- 17:58abundantly I am the Good Shepherd the
- 18:01Good Shepherd lays down his life for the
- 18:03Sheep now the reason that people
- 18:05interpret this as talking about the
- 18:07devil is because they don't understand
- 18:09the context of the passage this our
- 18:11nerdy nugget by the way uh for the day
- 18:14and it is Ezekiel well really our nerdy
- 18:17nugget was what did Jesus write in the
- 18:19dirt so our context was the three key
- 18:22events from The Exodus that get
- 18:24celebrated or reenacted in the Feast of
- 18:26Tabernacles that's our context clues our
- 18:29nerdy nugget is what Jesus wrote in the
- 18:31dirt and I'm adding in an an an extra
- 18:34nerdy nugget could who when I go to
- 18:36Chick-fil-A and and I
- 18:38order eight nuggets or six nuggets and
- 18:41and there's an extra nugget in there I'm
- 18:43not mad you know what I'm saying ain't
- 18:44nobody mad about extra nugget so our
- 18:46extra nugget is we're going to go to
- 18:48Ezekiel chapter 34 Ezekiel chapter 34
- 18:52and once I read just a couple of verses
- 18:54you'll get like why we needed to go to
- 18:57Ezekiel CH 34 here's what it says I'm
- 18:59going to read it from my iPad Ezekiel
- 19:01says this uh the word of the Lord came
- 19:03to me son of man prophesy against the
- 19:05Shepherds of Israel Shepherds whoa
- 19:07didn't we just read in John chapter 10
- 19:09that Jesus is saying he's the Good
- 19:10Shepherd contrasted with these thieves
- 19:13ah maybe there's a clue here okay uh
- 19:15prophesy against the Shepherds of Israel
- 19:16prophesy and say to them this is what
- 19:18the Sovereign Lord says woe to you
- 19:20Shepherds of Israel oh this is not good
- 19:22who only take care of
- 19:23yourselves should not Shepherds take
- 19:25care of the flock you eat the curse CS
- 19:29curds are produced by the Sheep clothe
- 19:31yourselves with the Wool Wool taken from
- 19:33the Sheep Slaughter the choice animals
- 19:35but you do not take care of the flock
- 19:37you take care of yourselves you don't
- 19:38take care of the flock okay you have not
- 19:40strengthened the weak or healed the sick
- 19:42or bound up the injured you don't you're
- 19:44not caring for the ones that aren't
- 19:45valuable to you you have not brought
- 19:48back the Strays or searched for the loss
- 19:50you have ruled them harshly and brutally
- 19:52so they were scattered because there was
- 19:54no Shepherd my sheep wandered blah blah
- 19:57blah verse 7 therefore you Shepherds
- 19:58hear the word of the Lord as surely as I
- 20:00live declares The Sovereign Lord because
- 20:02my flock lacks a shepherd and so has
- 20:05been
- 20:06plundered and has become food for all
- 20:08the wild animals and because my
- 20:10Shepherds did not search for my flock
- 20:11and cared for themselves rather than my
- 20:15flock therefore you Shepherds hear the
- 20:16word of the Lord this is what the
- 20:18Sovereign Lord says I'm against the
- 20:20Shepherds and will hold them accountable
- 20:21for my flock I'll will remove them from
- 20:23tending the flock so that the Shepherds
- 20:25can no longer feed themselves I will
- 20:28rescue my flock from their mouths and it
- 20:31will no longer be food for them wait a
- 20:35second so who is the thief that comes to
- 20:38kill steal and destroy oh it's these
- 20:41evil Shepherds from Ezekiel chapter 34
- 20:43who are the evil Shepherds from Ezekiel
- 20:45chapter 34 religious leaders who should
- 20:48be acting like good Shepherds but
- 20:50instead are acting like thieves which
- 20:52means when we get to John 10:1 who's the
- 20:55thief that comes to steal kill and
- 20:56destroy ah Church leader
- 20:59who feed themselves on the tithe and
- 21:02offering and money that people give in
- 21:04church who care more for themselves than
- 21:08they do the people who don't care for
- 21:11the sick or the broken or go after the
- 21:14Strays of the lost it's pastors and
- 21:17leaders and church staff who would
- 21:20rather line their own pockets and have
- 21:23selfish interest than be sacrificial and
- 21:26lay down their lives and die die for
- 21:29God's people yeah it's easier to believe
- 21:31it's about the
- 21:32devil because once it's about me now I
- 21:36have to look in the mirror and ask God
- 21:38am I being a thief am I being a good
- 21:41shepherd because Jesus doesn't just say
- 21:43he should be the only Shepherd he's
- 21:45saying this is the model that's a
- 21:47presedent when Jesus reinstates Peter at
- 21:51the end of The Book of John he's going
- 21:53to say to Peter feed my Lambs feed my
- 21:55sheep he's going to instate Peter now an
- 21:58unders sheeper as someone who is
- 22:00supposed to Shepherd the flock like
- 22:02Jesus shephered shephered the flock John
- 22:0610:1 not about the devil now can it get
- 22:09applied to the devil sure the devil does
- 22:12steal the devil does kill the devil does
- 22:15destroy okay but pastors and leaders who
- 22:19spiritually abuse people that's also
- 22:22what they do okay and so this verse when
- 22:27you put it into context actually is
- 22:30saying something that is really
- 22:32challenging okay so what's our Timeless
- 22:34truth Timeless truth is pretty easy
- 22:37today are you the thief are you being a
- 22:39thief that comes to steal kill and
- 22:41destroy or are you following the Good
- 22:43Shepherd I think for every pastor and
- 22:45every leader uh if you are in Ministry
- 22:48if you get a check if you get any form
- 22:51of payment from a church you're the
- 22:53audio engineer if you're the graphic
- 22:55designer I don't care what you do at a
- 22:56church you need to ask yourself the
- 22:57question people's tithe people's PE
- 23:00there are people tithing off of welfare
- 23:02checks tithing off of their unemployment
- 23:04check there people people are tithing so
- 23:07that I get paid is God going to hold me
- 23:10accountable as a thief am I a thief or
- 23:14am I a good shepherd that's our timless
- 23:16truth for the day and that's all the
- 23:18time we got hey guys man talk about a
