- 1:43go family welcome to Day
- 1:4672 we are at the end of The Book of John
- 1:49and man the images and the symbols uh
- 1:52the intentionality on John's part is
- 1:54just masterful we're gonna have a fun
- 1:58time in the you know 15 20 minutes that
- 2:01we got to walk through uh these last
- 2:04couple of chapters of the Book of John
- 2:06hey if you haven't done the reading for
- 2:08today do not miss out John chapter 181
- 2:1219 20 and 21 we got four chapters to
- 2:15read today Day 72 if you're on a streak
- 2:19I'm proud of you all right uh if you've
- 2:22done the reading let's dive in first
- 2:25thing we're going to do is context clues
- 2:27just going to remind you uh that Jesus
- 2:30uh is bringing ushering the power of new
- 2:33creation and John is writing from a
- 2:37Genesis perspective he's looking at
- 2:40Jesus Through the lens of Genesis and
- 2:42looking at Genesis through the person of
- 2:44Jesus okay there's this ecosystem
- 2:47between Genesis and Jesus and John
- 2:49that's happening it's freaking awesome
- 2:52and you're going to see a lot of that
- 2:53stuff kind of come to life today that's
- 2:57our that's our context next I'm just
- 2:59gonna I mean I'm going to give you a
- 3:01barrage of just kind of nerdy nuggets
- 3:03probably for the next like 15 minutes
- 3:06just show you parallels like from
- 3:08Genesis in John John and Genesis Genesis
- 3:10and John back and forth back and forth
- 3:12back and forth okay so let's let's
- 3:15actually go ahead uh the actually the
- 3:18first thing that I was thinking of we'll
- 3:20actually leave it um for uh the very
- 3:23very last thing that we talk about it'll
- 3:25be our Timeless truth so let's go to
- 3:27John chapter 19 okay John chapter 19
- 3:30we're going to get day six okay day six
- 3:33of New Creation Day six of original
- 3:35creation uh John chapter 19:5 it says so
- 3:39Jesus came out wearing the crown of
- 3:41thorns and the purple robe pilate said
- 3:44to them behold the man okay behold the
- 3:47man there we go that's that's going to
- 3:51frame this behold the man and what
- 3:54happens on day six of the original
- 3:55Creation in Genesis chap 1 verse 26 and
- 3:5927 we get behold Adam okay so we get
- 4:03behold the man okay on the day six of
- 4:06New Creation parallel to the creation of
- 4:09Adam in day six of the original creation
- 4:12what else do we have okay John 19:30 we
- 4:16get these words when Jesus had received
- 4:18the sour wine he said it is finished and
- 4:21he bowed his head and gave up his Spirit
- 4:26okay very
- 4:28anti-stiction Reon okay there's a lot
- 4:31Gnostic ideas believe that there's no
- 4:34way for the spirit of the Living God to
- 4:38have endured the crucifixion so John
- 4:41makes a point to say that he gives up
- 4:43his Spirit at the end of the crucifixion
- 4:46okay so that the crucifixion uh included
- 4:50not just gnostics also believed that it
- 4:55was kind of like a hologram of Jesus's
- 4:57body up on the cross they they also
- 5:00believe that it was just the body of
- 5:01Jesus on the cross but not that God was
- 5:04not involved that there's no way that
- 5:06God could be involved in suffering
- 5:08really the root of gnosticism is
- 5:11escapism and anyone who is bound by
- 5:13escapism does not rock with the idea of
- 5:16human suffering okay so we have in John
- 5:2119:30 these words it is finished it is
- 5:26finished where have we seen those words
- 5:27before well Genesis 2: one God finished
- 5:31the work of creation so we're going to
- 5:34get uh what comes uh when something is
- 5:37finished we're going to get Sabbath and
- 5:39so uh Jesus is going to spend the
- 5:43seventh day the day that is Holy for
- 5:45Sabbath Saturday he's going to spend
- 5:48Sabbath where in the ground there's this
- 5:53huge kind of tension between Jesus and
- 5:55the religious leaders all throughout the
- 5:57gospels but really you can feel it when
- 5:59you're in John's Gospel of why don't you
- 6:02worship the Sabbath why why don't you
- 6:03honor the Sabbath now a Jesus did honor
- 6:06the Sabbath according to Torah he did
- 6:08not honor the Sabbath according to the
- 6:10traditions of religious leaders so he
- 6:14did not break Sabbath he broke the
- 6:16religious leaders
- 6:18interpretations of the fence that was
- 6:20around the Torah but not the Torah
- 6:22itself but Jesus is saying well the
- 6:25reason I I'm not resting okay right now
- 6:28the way that you would like to do that
- 6:30is BEC the reason I'm doing miracles on
- 6:32the Sabbath is because I'm bringing
- 6:35about new creation and I will rest and
- 6:38when does he rest that's right he rest
- 6:40on day seven same day that his father
- 6:43rested in the original creation he's
- 6:45going to rest in the new creation and
- 6:47then John chapter 20 opens up and John
- 6:50chapter 20 opens and what does it say
- 6:53now on the first day of the week on the
- 6:56first day of the week this is the first
- 6:59day
- 7:00of New Creation it's not just of the
- 7:01week talk about an understatement of the
- 7:05century okay the first day of the week
- 7:07it is not just the first day of the week
- 7:08it the first day of the new creation
- 7:11it's the first day of hinge of History
- 7:14all right and John 20:15 remember
- 7:18there's this parallel between John and
- 7:19Genesis Mary what does she say John 20
- 7:23verse1 15 he says these words Jesus said
- 7:27to Heroman why are you weeping whom are
- 7:30you seeking supposing him to be the
- 7:32gardener she said to him sir if you have
- 7:35carried him away tell me where you have
- 7:37laid him I will take him away Jesus said
- 7:40to her Mary she turned and said to him
- 7:43in Aramaic raboni okay so Rabbi what
- 7:46does Mary think uh Jesus is the gardener
- 7:50which is oh talk about so wrong but so
- 7:54right she's wrong because it's Jesus and
- 7:58she didn't recognize Jesus but she's
- 7:59right in that this man is in a garden
- 8:03and he is the new Gardener The Gardener
- 8:05of the new creation because what was
- 8:07Adam put in the Garden of Eden to do to
- 8:10tend it and to keep it which means Adam
- 8:12was a gardener and here we have the
- 8:14second Adam who is also a Gardener He's
- 8:17The Gardener not of the original
- 8:19creation he's The Gardener of the new
- 8:21creation next um we're going to have
- 8:24Jesus uh really ushering in the power of
- 8:28the Holy Spirit for the disciples we're
- 8:30going to go to John
- 8:3220:22 John 20:22 it says this starting
- 8:36in verse 20 when he had said this he
- 8:39showed them his hands and his side then
- 8:42the disciples were glad when they saw
- 8:44the Lord Jesus said to them again peace
- 8:47be with you as the father has sent me
- 8:51even so I am sending you and when he had
- 8:54said this he breathed on them and said
- 8:58to them receive the holy spirit so in
- 9:01John's tradition they get the Holy
- 9:03Spirit In the book okay whereas Matthew
- 9:06Mark and Luke they don't get the Holy
- 9:07Spirit into the book of Acts but for
- 9:09John uh Jesus directly uh gives him the
- 9:13Holy Spirit and how does he do
- 9:15it by breathing on them come on what is
- 9:20that supposed to make us think of that
- 9:23Yahweh breathes into Adam's nostrils and
- 9:26he receives the breath of life and
- 9:29becomes comes a living Soul a nephesh a
- 9:31living being okay so Adam goes from dirt
- 9:36to life because of the animating power
- 9:38of the Breath of God and John wants us
- 9:42to see that the same God that breathed
- 9:45life into Adam is here in the flesh his
- 9:48name is Jesus and he's breathing on the
- 9:50disciples so they can receive the Holy
- 9:52Spirit also the other thing that you
- 9:55need to know here is that the word for
- 9:58breath with and and spirit are exactly
- 10:01the same okay in Hebrew it's uh and in
- 10:04Greek actually these ideas are all
- 10:07interconnected so they all have the same
- 10:09word and so in Greek that word is Numa
- 10:12Numa uh breath wind spirit so the breath
- 10:18that Jesus that uh Yahweh breathes on
- 10:22Adam animates him give turns him into a
- 10:25living being but then Jesus breathes on
- 10:28them and what do they get the Holy
- 10:30Spirit okay which means that for the
- 10:33believer for the New Testament believer
- 10:35for the Christian that
- 10:38living with the power of the holy spirit
- 10:41is just as vital to our life as breath
- 10:46okay in the same way that it is
- 10:48impossible to be a living person without
- 10:52breath in your lungs it is impossible to
- 10:55live as a Christian without the holy
- 10:58spirit of God animating us energizing us
- 11:01empowering us invigorating us so that we
- 11:04can obey the word of the Lord okay so
- 11:08we're going to get we get all these
- 11:10links okay uh so I probably gave you
- 11:14five six nerdy nuggets in a row I mean
- 11:16we got context we got nerdy nuggets um
- 11:19we got links everywhere okay John is
- 11:22telling us about a new genesis and he's
- 11:25saying that this new creation is here
- 11:28it's broken into the world world that
- 11:30Jesus has been planted like a seed in
- 11:32the earth and that he's come out of the
- 11:34Grave here's another nerdy nugget okay
- 11:37the resurrection is why Christians
- 11:39worship on Sunday instead of Sabbath
- 11:42thing on Saturday if any 7th Day
- 11:44Adventist try to like convince you that
- 11:47Saturday is the day that we should
- 11:48worship blah BL blah blah just let them
- 11:50know no Jesus rose on the J Rose in the
- 11:52grave on
- 11:53Sunday and Christians since Jesus's
- 11:56resurrection have been worshiping on
- 11:58Sunday be because Jesus rose in the
- 12:00grave and we believe that every week is
- 12:03Easter we're celebrating Resurrection
- 12:05every Sunday we want people to come to
- 12:08life in Christ every single Sunday we
- 12:10want Lazarus to come out of the Grave
- 12:12every single Sunday we want people that
- 12:14are in dead religion and dead marriages
- 12:18and dead relationships and in in dead
- 12:21debt to death to to to come out of their
- 12:24graves every single week we want people
- 12:26to make decisions for Christ we want
- 12:28Resurrection power in our churches every
- 12:31single week so uh early Christians
- 12:34definitely made a cognizant effort or
- 12:38intentional decision to switch their day
- 12:40of worship from Saturday to Sunday
- 12:42because of what happened on that Sunday
- 12:46where Mary goes to the Grave thinking
- 12:49that she's going to anoint the body of
- 12:51Jesus but finds a mysterious figure who
- 12:56she rightly and wrongly thinks is is uh
- 13:00the gardener Bible Department family my
- 13:02brand new book crushing chaos is out and
- 13:05the trailer is fire but you don't have
- 13:08to take my word for it you can watch it
- 13:10for yourself right
- 13:13[Music]
- 13:16now yeah what if I told you Dragons Were
- 13:21Real for the original audience of
- 13:25Genesis Dragons Were a common symbol
- 13:28that represented Chaos Dragons were
- 13:32normal in the ancient world and so were
- 13:35the deities that conquered them the
- 13:38Babylonian god named Marduk conquered
- 13:40the dragon named Ki the Egyptian sun god
- 13:43named ra had a conquer a dragon called
- 13:46apep in the Canaanite god that many of
- 13:48us know from the Old Testament named
- 13:51Baal had to conquer a seven-headed
- 13:53dragon named loton so when the original
- 13:56audience of Genesis heard about a least
- 13:59tempting Adam and Eve in the garden they
- 14:02wouldn't have pictured a slithering
- 14:04snake oh no they would have pictured a
- 14:07ferocious chaos Dragon the original
- 14:10audience would only have one question
- 14:13who's going to conquer this Dragon
- 14:16Yahweh will not conquer this Dragon
- 14:20Yahweh is not like any of the other gods
- 14:23he is not like Marduk he is not like ra
- 14:26or B he has no rival he has no
- 14:29the dragon is not his adversary to
- 14:31conquer but Adam and Eve's adversary to
- 14:34conquer by partnering with chaos they
- 14:37became the beasts they were called
- 14:39conquer who will conquer the dragon
- 14:42Jesus crushed the head of the Dragon who
- 14:45tempted Adam and Eve but the monster in
- 14:47the mirror still lives and I want to
- 14:50invite you to tame the Beast Within and
- 14:53to partner with God in subduing and
- 14:57ordering the cosmos most around you the
- 15:00only question left is this how do we
- 15:03crush the chaos that we've
- 15:14become last thing okay here's our
- 15:16Timeless truth is we're going to
- 15:18actually compare chapter 1818 with John
- 15:22chapter 21 vers 9 we're going to compare
- 15:24John 1818 with John 21:9 so if you want
- 15:27to grab those we're going to see one
- 15:29word repeat two times uh this the only
- 15:32time in the entire Bible where we're
- 15:34going to see these words okay the author
- 15:37John the author of this gospel wants us
- 15:41to link these moments okay uh it says
- 15:44this verse 18 of chapter 18 now the
- 15:47servants and officers had made a
- 15:49charcoal fire because it was cold and
- 15:52they were standing and warming
- 15:54themselves Peter also was with them
- 15:56standing and warming himself so when
- 15:59Peter denies Jesus there's a charcoal
- 16:01fire I don't know if you've ever smelled
- 16:04a charcoal fire very distinct charcoal
- 16:07has a very distinct smell to it um I
- 16:11don't know if you've ever like smelled
- 16:13something and it brought you back into
- 16:14time I remember you know there's like I
- 16:18there's there's certain smells that I
- 16:19smell I'm like oh I'm back at my
- 16:20grandparents house or like you smell
- 16:22something and you're like oh yeah man
- 16:25like my girlfriend from like college had
- 16:29that perfume like it immediately brings
- 16:30you back right um smell is connected to
- 16:35memory and so Peter denies
- 16:38Jesus three times at a charcoal fire and
- 16:43had Jesus not pursued
- 16:47Peter it's a wrap I mean Peter's sin is
- 16:50worse than that of Judas there's no way
- 16:53that Peter is reinstating himself but
- 16:56Jesus comes after Peter and says this
- 16:58and verse 9 of chapter 21 when they got
- 17:01out on land they saw a charcoal fire in
- 17:04place with fish on it and bread Jesus
- 17:07said to them bring some of the fish that
- 17:10you have just caught so Simon Peter went
- 17:13aboard and haul the boat ashore okay so
- 17:17Jesus has intentionally built what a
- 17:19charcoal
- 17:20fire not to remind Peter of his guilt
- 17:23but to recreate the scene and to bring
- 17:26this moment of the denial back to his
- 17:28memory but then to replace the memory
- 17:31with a new memory of that same smell
- 17:35that now I'm going to forgive you and
- 17:39commission you and what am I going to
- 17:41commission you to do Peter feed my sheep
- 17:44feed my Lambs okay take care of my sheep
- 17:47I'm going to commission you to be a good
- 17:48shepherd and in the same way that you
- 17:51denied me three times I'm going to
- 17:53commission you three times with three
- 17:57distinct but overlapping assignments
- 18:01take care of my sheep feed my Lambs feed
- 18:03my sheep uh so Peter gets a three-fold
- 18:06commissioning because there was a
- 18:08three-fold denial and Peter gets it oh
- 18:12he gets it Jesus has made a charcoal
- 18:15fire and it smells exactly like it
- 18:18smelled the night that I denied him and
- 18:21for Jesus in any moment past this where
- 18:25Peter smells the charcoal fire he does
- 18:27not want Peter to remember his mistake
- 18:30or his failure or the moment that he
- 18:31denied Jesus he wants uh Peter to
- 18:34remember the moment that Jesus forgives
- 18:37commissions and sends him out to
- 18:40actually be a Shepherd uh that
- 18:43represents him all right so we got
- 18:46context flues man we got a lot of nerdy
- 18:49nuggets we got a whole lot of those
- 18:51today and we got a Timeless truth what's
- 18:53the time's truth God redeems memories he
- 18:56gives you new memories and he always
- 18:59commissions there there's a lot of us
- 19:01who would think man Peter should have
- 19:03like you know a season of discipline
- 19:05like you know like sit him down for a
- 19:07little while I I came from a church that
- 19:09would like sit people down nothing wrong
- 19:11with sitting people down but for Jesus
- 19:12there's no timeout there's no getting
- 19:15sat down it's it's go time okay I've
- 19:18trained you uh and now I'm commissioning
- 19:21you to be the leader that you're called
- 19:23to be and um you have to believe that
- 19:26you're forgiven and the word of
- 19:29forgiveness follows the action of
- 19:32commissioning okay so there's not
- 19:34separate things for Jesus forgiveness is
- 19:37commissioning and I think there's a lot
- 19:38of Christians
- 19:40who have gotten commissioned by Jesus to
- 19:43be active to go do something to go serve
- 19:47to volunteer to be on staff to
- 19:50evangelize to witness to whatever
- 19:52whatever that fell in the blank is and
- 19:54because of guilt and because of Shame
- 19:57you haven't actually done what Jesus
- 20:00commissioned you to do and so our time's
- 20:02Truth for the day is to remind you that
- 20:04you are commissioned and wherever
- 20:06there's been a charcoal fire of shame we
- 20:09want there to be a charcoal fire of
- 20:10forgiveness whatever that moment is then
- 20:14we want the power of God to come into
- 20:17your life and to begin to um make things
- 20:21new like for you so I pray that over you
- 20:25there have definitely been moments in my
- 20:27life where God has done that for me uh
- 20:30I've not always gotten it right not at
- 20:32all uh I get it wrong a lot actually and
- 20:35I've needed the forgiving power of Jesus
- 20:38uh to forgive me but then remind me that
- 20:41my mistakes have not disqualified me
- 20:43from the call and that I'm still called
- 20:46and that this God is gracious enough to
- 20:48not just forgive me but to commission me
- 20:50out into a world that needs people who
- 20:53have made mistakes because Grace is not
- 20:55a concept or an idea to live the
- 20:57experience and I'm able to communicate
- 20:59that Grace when I'm able to tell people
- 21:01hey I denied it yeah I I he got
- 21:05crucified and I wasn't even there I can
- 21:07imagine Peter telling the story but then
- 21:09telling the story of how Jesus sought
- 21:11him out Jesus redeemed his memories
- 21:15Jesus brought healing and Jesus did not
- 21:17revoke the commission and the call in
- 21:20his life but actually pushed him into
- 21:22his purpose even when he probably didn't
- 21:24believe in himself so with that we end
- 21:29John's gospel and now we move tomorrow
- 21:32into John's epistle so we're going to
- 21:34get into first John tomorrow for day uh
