- 2:00discourse and I'll talk about that in
- 2:03just a second we got John 14- 17 St 71

- 2:08today time out pause get out of here go
- 2:11do the reading for today come on back
- 2:14I'm not going nowhere pause the
- 2:16recording pause the video pause the
- 2:17audio go do the reading read John
- 2:19chapter 14 15 16 and 17 read those four
- 2:23chapters and come on back for all of us
- 2:26that have done the reading for today
- 2:28this is just dense dense dense content
- 2:31uh because it's discourse material we
- 2:34Dive Right into our context clue okay
- 2:36remember how I said sevens are a big
- 2:38deal for John's gospel okay there are
- 2:41seven signs there are seven I AMS uh I
- 2:44may or may not have said this already
- 2:45but there are seven feasts that Jesus
- 2:48attends so the feasts are a big big big
- 2:51deal in John's gospel and there are
- 2:54seven discourses or seven blocks of
- 2:57teaching and a lot of time like uh in
- 3:00Matthew and Mark and Luke in the
- 3:02synoptic tradition a lot of these blocks
- 3:04of teaching are happening kind of like
- 3:06via a sermon so like a Sermon on the
- 3:08Mount or like a sermon on the plane for
- 3:10John A lot of these discourses are
- 3:13actually happen happening
- 3:15conversationally right so there's the
- 3:16Born Again discourse where he's talking
- 3:19to Nicodemus uh John does this really
- 3:22really good job of not just presenting
- 3:24Jesus as like an order or a public
- 3:26figure but there are these like
- 3:28one-on-one moments so him and Nicodemus
- 3:30have this prolonged one-on-one
- 3:32interaction and then the woman at the
- 3:34well that's a discourse the block of
- 3:36teaching it would be like the living the
- 3:38Living Water discourse now obviously
- 3:41there are times where Jesus is you know
- 3:43communicating to crowds of people we get
- 3:45seven discourses and remember John is a
- 3:48new genesis okay so the miracles of
- 3:52Jesus in John's gospel are doing are
- 3:55accomplishing the exact same thing that
- 3:58Yahweh accomplished in Genesis chapter 1
- 4:01bringing order to chaos that's what the
- 4:03Miracles are doing that is what the
- 4:05person of Jesus is doing which is why
- 4:06there are seven I am statements because
- 4:08the person of Jesus the identity of
- 4:10Jesus is for the purpose of bringing
- 4:14order to chaos bringing New Creation
- 4:16okay and Jesus's teaching is going to do
- 4:20the same thing the lessons of Jesus the
- 4:23words of Jesus the truth of Jesus the
- 4:26wisdom of Jesus the lessons that Jesus
- 4:28is going to give in these seven
- 4:30discourses are accomplishing the exact
- 4:34same thing that Yahweh accomplished in
- 4:36the original creation which is to bring
- 4:38order to chaos so it Jesus in the New
- 4:42Testament is not like up to something
- 4:44new no it's the same project that Yahweh
- 4:48started that the enemy thwarted that
- 4:50Adam and Eve did not participate in it's
- 4:52that same project that God was on in
- 4:56Genesis 1 Genesis chter 3 has Direct
- 4:59railed that project and Jesus is here to
- 5:02get that project back on Mission so um
- 5:06we're going to get a massive discourse
- 5:08this is the farewell discourse I want us
- 5:10to think about this this block of
- 5:13teaching as the temple training the next
- 5:16Temple okay the disciples are going to
- 5:19be temples of the Holy Spirit the church
- 5:22is going to become living stones made
- 5:25into a building or made into a temple
- 5:27okay so what we see in acttion chapter 2
- 5:30is the fire of the Holy Spirit uh
- 5:33falling on the group of Christians the
- 5:36same way that the fire of God fell on
- 5:39the Tabernacle and the temple in the Old
- 5:41Testament and so this is the temple
- 5:43Jesus is the temple he's uh the a portal
- 5:47that leads to the presence of God he is
- 5:50it's why when the veil in the actual
- 5:54Temple was when Jesus died when his
- 5:57flesh was pierced the veil in the temple
- 5:59was also torn because the veil in the
- 6:01temple is simply a type and Shadow of
- 6:04the person of Jesus so Jesus is the
- 6:07temple okay and he's training Peter and
- 6:10John and Matthew and the rest of the
- 6:13gang on how they are going to operate as
- 6:17temples so this if you can think about
- 6:18this whole block of teaching as a
- 6:21farewell discourse this is Jesus's last
- 6:24uh block of teaching we're still in the
- 6:26Passover we're still at this third and
- 6:28final Passover and now the temple uh
- 6:32made flesh is teaching these new temples
- 6:36how to actually be temples okay so
- 6:40there's going to be a couple of themes
- 6:42that are going to emerge in this section
- 6:45of John's gospel hopefully I'm giving
- 6:47you some good like context clues for
- 6:49like deciphering through like this
- 6:51content First theme is going to be the
- 6:55person of the Holy Spirit okay in John
- 6:58chap 14 we're going to get a big
- 7:01teaching on the helper the paraclete um
- 7:05the comforter okay that Jesus is going
- 7:08to promise the Holy Spirit and I think
- 7:12that sometimes uh without context we
- 7:15assume that the Pinnacle that the climax
- 7:19of God's dealing with humans is Jesus's
- 7:22death uh in Resurrection on the cross
- 7:25however if that's all we had we would
- 7:28still be on tiptoe like waiting for
- 7:30something else to happen because the Old
- 7:33Testament is not just promising a savior
- 7:36it is it's promising a messiah but the
- 7:38Old Testament also communicates that the
- 7:41reason that God's people have not been
- 7:43able to obey God's law it's not cuz the
- 7:46law is bad it's because people don't
- 7:48have the spirit of God to empower them
- 7:52energize them rejuvenate them and
- 7:55actually cause them to obey the law so
- 7:57the Old Testament is actually saying ye
- 8:01is we're supposed to leave the Old
- 8:02Testament longing for messiah longing
- 8:06for savior but we're also supposed to
- 8:08leave the Old Testament longing for the
- 8:09Holy Spirit and Jesus and the Holy
- 8:11Spirit become the right and left hand of
- 8:14God the reason that Jesus goes to the
- 8:17cross for the remission of our sins the
- 8:21reason that the blood of the Lamb has to
- 8:23be applied to my life so that I'm no
- 8:26longer guilty before God but innoc sent
- 8:30is because this Temple has to get
- 8:34cleansed by the blood so that it can get
- 8:36filled with the spirit cleansed by the
- 8:39blood so that it can get filled with the
- 8:42power of the Holy Spirit the cross
- 8:45serves a purpose the cross is a means to
- 8:49an end and that end is intimacy with God
- 8:53now we we are living in a kingdom that
- 8:56is already but not yet and so the in the
- 8:59king I've I have experienced intimacy
- 9:01with God because the Holy Spirit dwells
- 9:03on the inside of me but I'm also longing
- 9:06for it to be completed in the future
- 9:10that it's happening already but there's
- 9:12also a not yet part and that portion of
- 9:15the promise that is not yet is that one
- 9:18day oh we will really be with him we'll
- 9:21see the Lord face to face and so this
- 9:24deposit this down payment that we have
- 9:27called the Holy Spirit is promising that
- 9:30one day we will experience physical
- 9:32Resurrection we'll be in the new heaven
- 9:34we'll be in the new Earth and we'll
- 9:36experience the glory and the presence in
- 9:38the kingdom of God not as a spiritual
- 9:41reality that we can discern but as a
- 9:43reality reality that we won't just live
- 9:46based on our five senses but we'll have
- 9:50some more senses some additional senses
- 9:53where we are able to actually tap in to
- 9:56things that are happening spiritually at
- 9:58a complete different level so massive
- 10:01theme on the Holy Spirit okay holy
- 10:04spirit that that there's a promise that
- 10:07Jesus is making to his followers that
- 10:10they are going to receive the holy
- 10:13spirit that this is a big deal not like
- 10:16an after this is not the credits on the
- 10:19movie this is a big deal that the cross
- 10:21is accomplishing for the believer an
- 10:25ability to access the cleansing power of
- 10:27the blood of God for for what purpose so
- 10:30that we can be cleansed the Holy Spirit
- 10:33couldn't dwell within Believers prior to
- 10:37Jesus going to the Cross um because we
- 10:40were not fit temples to uh house the
- 10:44power and the presence of the holy
- 10:46spirit Bible Department family my brand
- 10:48new book crushing chaos is out in the
- 10:52trailer is fire but you don't have to
- 10:55take my word for it you can watch it for
- 10:57yourself right now
- 11:03yeah what if I told you Dragons Were
- 11:08Real for the original audience of
- 11:11Genesis Dragons Were a common symbol
- 11:15that represented Chaos Dragons were
- 11:18normal in the ancient world and so were
- 11:21the deities that conquered them the
- 11:24Babylonian god named Marduk conquered
- 11:26the dragon named kimon the Egyptian son
- 11:29god named Rob had to conquer a dragon
- 11:32called apep and the Canaanite god that
- 11:34many of us know from the Old Testament
- 11:36named Bale had to conquer a seven-headed
- 11:39dragon named loton so when the original
- 11:42audience of Genesis heard about a beast
- 11:45tempting Adam and Eve in the garden they
- 11:48wouldn't have pictured a slithering
- 11:50snake oh no they would have pictured a
- 11:53ferocious chaos Dragon the original
- 11:56audience would only have one question
- 11:59who's going to conquer this Dragon
- 12:02Yahweh will not conquer this Dragon
- 12:06Yahweh is not like any of the other gods
- 12:09he is not like Marduk he is not like ra
- 12:12or B he has no rival he has no equal the
- 12:16dragon is not his adversary to conquer
- 12:18but Adam and Eve's adversary to conquer
- 12:21by partnering with chaos they became the
- 12:24beasts they were called to conquer who
- 12:26will conquer the dragones Jesus crushed
- 12:29the head of the Dragon who tempted Adam
- 12:31and Eve but the monster in the mirror
- 12:34still lives and I want to invite you to
- 12:38tame the Beast Within and to partner
- 12:40with God in subduing and ordering the
- 12:44cosmos around you the only question left
- 12:47is this how do we crush the chaos that
- 12:51we've become
- 13:01chapter
- 13:0213:34 um Jesus is going to give a
- 13:04command okay it's a nerdy nugget and
- 13:06he's going to say a new command I give
- 13:09you love okay uh I'll actually read it
- 13:13to you chapter 13:34 it says this a new
- 13:16command I give to you that you love one
- 13:20another just as I have loved you and
- 13:22also you also are to love one another by
- 13:25this all people will know that you are
- 13:26my disciples if you love one another
- 13:29okay so new command I give you guys love
- 13:31one another here's a nerdy nugget in the
- 13:34ancient world love is not an
- 13:37emotion okay I know we understand love
- 13:41today in our current culture as a
- 13:44feeling as an emotion oh man I feel
- 13:47affection towards you I Feel Love
- 13:49towards you that is not Jesus's
- 13:51worldview he does not care if uh you
- 13:55know if Andrew and James personalities
- 13:58mesh he does not care if they click or
- 14:01if they have chemistry he does not care
- 14:05if he doesn't care about their feelings
- 14:08this is not this not about their
- 14:10feelings that for Jesus love is a
- 14:13decision of the will love is not up to
- 14:17whether I'm in a good mood love is a
- 14:19decision of my will and the reality is
- 14:21that not only do you need that kind of
- 14:23love in order to walk in a Christian
- 14:26Community but you need that kind of love
- 14:28for marriage I don't always feel
- 14:31romantically like in Love sometimes I'm
- 14:35just like no love is the decision of my
- 14:36Wills I'm going to make a decision to
- 14:39love my wife and that love is found in
- 14:43service that love is found in Pro in
- 14:46provision that love is found in all
- 14:48types of things whether I feel it or not
- 14:51and we have a lot of people who are
- 14:53walking in a marriage for their
- 14:54happiness and they really need to choose
- 14:57to be married for their holiness that
- 14:59what what love of the will does is it
- 15:03actually sanctifies you makes you more
- 15:05like God God loves you regardless of how
- 15:10you treat him or what you do to him
- 15:13because for the Lord love is not a
- 15:15feeling love is a decision of the will I
- 15:18love my son do I have so many warm and
- 15:22awesome feelings towards my son of
- 15:25course I do but I also just have a love
- 15:27of the will I don't like changing this
- 15:29man's diapers his poop smells bad he's
- 15:33turning three now and he's got like his
- 15:35attitude's a little weird and he we're
- 15:37learn we're you know we've been potty
- 15:39training him and he makes mistakes and
- 15:42he pees on the floor and I I mean like
- 15:45if it was just about my feelings there
- 15:47are times where I feel like when he
- 15:51throws a temperature at I feel like just
- 15:54leaving him home by himself like but I
- 15:56don't do what I feel like doing I've
- 15:58made a decision I've made a decision of
- 16:00my will and love is a decision of the
- 16:03will this is now we're going to
- 16:04transition into our time's truth Jesus
- 16:06has a prayer in chapter 17 verse 20 uh
- 16:10we can actually go there and I'll read
- 16:11it to you and if we're not careful when
- 16:14it comes to our definitions of Love Will
- 16:16essentially create churches with people
- 16:18we like right so your whole Christian
- 16:21Community will just be people that you
- 16:23have shared interests with shared
- 16:25political opinions with you'll just
- 16:27essentially choose a church or pick a
- 16:29church with people that you feel like
- 16:31you fit in with and at the end of the
- 16:33day uh that's is not Christian Community
- 16:36okay that's not discipleship for Jesus's
- 16:39original followers there's a tax
- 16:41collector in the crew and a zealot in
- 16:43the crew these two people are
- 16:45diametrically opposed to each other all
- 16:47right a zealot is like a black panther
- 16:49and a tax collector is like an Uncle Tom
- 16:52and Jesus is like yeah but you both are
- 16:53going to follow me and you're going to
- 16:55love each other the same way I've loved
- 16:57you I don't care if you don't agree I
- 16:59don't care if you don't like each other
- 17:01I don't care if you get along doesn't
- 17:03really matter to me you're going to make
- 17:05a decision of your will to act in love
- 17:08towards one another because love is not
- 17:10a feeling love is a decision of the will
- 17:14that is evidenced by action Behavior
- 17:18okay 17 uh verse 20 okay it says this is
- 17:22our Timeless Truth for the day uh
- 17:24chapter 17 verse 20 I do not ask so this
- 17:27is a long prayer
- 17:29okay by Jesus like all of chapter 17 is
- 17:31essentially like a really really long
- 17:33prayer uh that Jesus prays he says this
- 17:36I do not ask for these only but also for
- 17:39those who will future tense who will
- 17:42believe in me through their word so this
- 17:45is Jesus praying for us it's pretty dope
- 17:48that Jesus is praying for future
- 17:49Believers okay uh while he's at the Last
- 17:52Supper uh teaching his uh disciples how
- 17:55to be the temple that they may all be
- 17:59one just as you father are in me and I
- 18:03in you that they also may be in us so
- 18:07that the world may believe that you have
- 18:09sent me this is twice now where there's
- 18:12something that that the disciples or or
- 18:16the future Church supposed to do the
- 18:18first is love one another and then this
- 18:20one is be one walk in unity and what's
- 18:23the purpose so that it would reflect
- 18:26well on the person of Jesus
- 18:29that wild I want you to act in love so
- 18:34the world may know that you're my
- 18:35disciples I want you to be one so the
- 18:38world may see when they look at you I
- 18:41want the world to actually see me and my
- 18:43father I want the world to see a picture
- 18:45of the unity that exists in the godhead
- 18:47that is actually the weight of this
- 18:50prayer that I I want you to do this not
- 18:54because you like your your brother
- 18:59again has nothing to do with like your
- 19:01personal feelings and here's where we're
- 19:04going to go back to this prayer for the
- 19:05Holy Spirit I think there's a lot of us
- 19:08who speak in tongues but we speak in
- 19:09English really mean and what happened at
- 19:12the day of Pentecost the tongues of fire
- 19:14come down and people are able to hear
- 19:18the gospel in their language because
- 19:20it's a reversal of Babel Babel was the
- 19:23moment where God dispersed the languages
- 19:25and created confusion Acts chapter 2 is
- 19:28a moment where there's Supernatural
- 19:31Unity the holy spirit is not just
- 19:34supposed to give us the ability to speak
- 19:35in tongues and prophesy and work
- 19:37miracles and have signs and wonders but
- 19:40really the biggest Miracle is that the
- 19:42Holy Spirit would bind us together with
- 19:43chords of love that can't be broken that
- 19:45we become one that we become United
- 19:48because anyone who's ever walked on a
- 19:51team or on a staff knows that Unity is
- 19:55difficult is difficult everybody has
- 19:57their own agenda everybody has their own
- 19:58ideas everybody has their own plan and
- 20:00to all mesh together in unity not
- 20:04uniformity but Unity true diversity
- 20:07that's United that's Unity okay not
- 20:10uniformity not that we all become clones
- 20:13not that we all become mindless drones
- 20:16just submitting to whatever the leader
- 20:17says we're not a cult we're a church and
- 20:20the church highlights the
- 20:22diversity of everyone but also everyone
- 20:25says we're here for a common Vision
- 20:27we're here uh under a common mandate and
- 20:31and when we want to be God's tangible
- 20:35presence um of of the kingdom of God and
- 20:39so um we want Kingdom culture to really
- 20:42Define who we are as a people and so we
- 20:46rally together around that okay so our
- 20:48Timeless Truth uh for the day is that
- 20:51Jesus was praying for us and so we need
- 20:53to take Jesus's prayer to heart and we
- 20:55need to start praying for Unity for
- 20:57Supernatural Unity that that the Holy
- 20:59Spirit would bind us together with
- 21:01chords of love that can't be broken that
- 21:03we will be people who model Supernatural
- 21:05unity and so I want you to begin to
- 21:07think how can I do that in a small way
- 21:10and then how can I expand that Unity so
- 21:12can I be one with my spouse can can I
- 21:15create Unity just in my family can I
- 21:17create Unity with like my closest
- 21:19friends and then in bigger and bigger
- 21:21and bigger hey can I create Unity on my
- 21:23staff hey can I create Unity on the
- 21:25teams that I oversee everything that you
- 21:28have a hand in influencing I want you to
- 21:30think man am I adding to the unity or
- 21:33taking away am I adding to the unity or
- 21:35taking it away is my
- 21:37individualism hindering the cohesion of
- 21:40the group nothing wrong with me having
- 21:43individual gifts but you know what man
- 21:45there's some things it's better to die
- 21:48to my individual rights because I want
- 21:51the group to move forward I want to be a
- 21:54group oriented thinker I want to be a
- 21:56group oriented leader my friend br was
- 21:58telling me about uh being on staff at
- 22:01Union Church and he was saying man
- 22:03Pastor Ste there are things that Pastor
- 22:05Steven doesn't really need to do but he
- 22:07still does it because people who are
- 22:10following him need to do it right so
- 22:12there's a system for how to MC and you
- 22:15write everything out like if you're
- 22:16doing the offering or if you're doing
- 22:19announcements you you literally write it
- 22:21out you got to submit it and then you
- 22:22you do a run through and you practice
- 22:25and like Pastor stepen doesn't need to
- 22:26do that I mean he's a world-class
- 22:28community indicator but he knows that if
- 22:31he doesn't submit his individual gift to
- 22:36the culture of the team then he's giving
- 22:38some young 25-year-old who doesn't have
- 22:41that same level of gift he giving him an
- 22:43excuse to cut corners and so I will
- 22:46abide by the rule I won't live by the
- 22:49exception it's the same reason why I
- 22:51went back to school to get my doctorate
- 22:52it's why I got into a master's program
- 22:55yes it adds value to me but I was
- 22:57successful without it but I feel like
- 23:00I'm setting a precedent for everyone
- 23:02coming after me for young people who
- 23:05look up to me so you have to as a gifted
- 23:08person as a leader submit the things
- 23:11you'd be able to get away with you have
- 23:13to submit that to the confines of the
- 23:17discipline that's necessary not just for
- 23:20you but for the for the people who are
- 23:22modeling their behavior after you and
- 23:24that is really really significant that's
- 23:25my Timeless Truth for the day hey
