Sunday, September 8th, 2019 - AM - The Disciple in Community, Part 4 (Mt. 5:21-48)

Daniel listen to the services of the Broomfield Baptist Church. This is the pastor bringing the Sunday morning message. We continue our study on being disciples and Community number 5 as we've done I call your attention to verse number 48 of Matthew chapter number five where Jesus makes this statement. He makes this statement to those that have come out to follow him and word of him. He doesn't make this to the entire world. He makes it to those that are set aside for his service save following him walking with Jesus and he bikini. My disciples be ye therefore perfect. Even as your father, which is in heaven is perfect. Lord I pray that you would help us to continue to grow in our understanding in the grace and knowledge of the scriptures. I asked father that he would help us understand this verse. As it applies to the rent of what Jesus had said in the past maybe not isolated from the contact and do your word of disturbance maybe understand the process of old a Jesus has been here and how it applies to those that follow you that we might know how to face tomorrow. Should you give that to us by your throat? Help us Lord. To take our eyes off of Barstow and it's set our affections on things above and not on things on the earth. I asked for your help in this message Lord. I pray that you would die in the lead. Florida studies and I've done my part at the desk, but now it's a sacred death Lord. I pray that your Holy Spirit would give option and that your word would accomplish that which you send it not by the works with my hand. But by your power Lord mold us after the image of Jesus Christ it will thank you for what you do and his precious name we pray. Amen. We've been to send me how Jesus is teaching his disciples disciples to be in community. And this one I'm sorry 21 of chapter 5 in my head screwed on straight here. Matthew chapter 5 verse 21 all the way down the verse number 48 Jesus begin expounding the spirit of the law in life events letter. Now he did not begin that for me until he's already laid the groundwork and given the framework. For what he was going to emphasize.

I'm a terrible hot legs but never will last you know, as you know, anyone who takes classes on homiletics. I think it's interesting even homiletics.

No, I had some wonderful. I'm late because I don't want to give you the wrong impression. I love dr. Smithey. He's really ingrained in us and principles that had to study the scriptures and how to organize our thoughts and all that is important. But as many different classes that there are on homiletic Stetsons many different methods and styles is there are on teaching how to let my messages private State expositional. And so I look at a passage that take up a paragraph of scripture study that and I tried to grasp what God is saying there and then how does that apply to us today? And we come up with what we need to clean and sew addict we event encouraged you all along if you'll protect your heart that will lead to opportunities for testimony and those opportunities.

The spread the gospel at the heart of what Jesus is driving home here because it goes back to the first main point that he's making from chapter 5 verse 21 to worth of a $48 and strengthens the fact that his disciples are to be in the world to make different the weather like Shawn.

His disciples come into this with an understanding what to give a financial statement that he says this all the time. He says if you live like no one else so you can live like no one else.

Now that's a Biblical principle and I'm also in other words the world. It's not looking forward to persecution. We want you want to see if you don't want to stir the pasta.

Somewhere we tend to minimize that at least I do maybe people out there look for trouble and maybe we can save some trouble recycled what Jesus is helping his disciples by the word advocate. In our sphere of influence that we have with others. We're going to have an opportunity to make an appeal for the case of Christ.

There's someone not very far from you. And your Spear of influence. That's wondering. What's this Christian thing all about? What's this following Jesus thing all about? Where's the piece? Where's the joy?

Can we help them get there? Jesus helps us understand how to make that easier for them to follow him not everyone will within that everyone has Free Will and they can choose to follow Christ or not. But we also can bother the way and make it much more difficult for someone to wrap their minds around price and give their heart to him like he would invite them to

Absolutely not. But I wonder how many down Through the Ages have been turned away from Christianity because his disciple the one that was supposedly or professedly following him. fail in one of these areas

Well, I'm getting my car fixed if it was referred to as the People's Court. That's right. How could I forget that?

What do they failed in the People's Court in the private Court in the divorce court or whether they found in the court of honor?

If we will understand when Jesus says indeed there is there's two of them. We coming out today to the second to the last legal scenario that Jesus Christ gives you remember some weeks ago. I said that if you take this out of its context and try to apply this at the blanket across every area of your life outside of legal areas where it comes to dealing with the loss predominantly the name of Jesus Christ before the world. If you take it outside of the context of this passage, you'll wind up being dormant for someone because I don't call you up and say well you're Christian, you've got to go the extra mile your Christian you guys turn the other cheek. You're a Christian or Christian.

Yes in context. contax T2 candid so it doesn't mean that we just go around and give and give and give when really has nothing to do with the testimony of Christ. It's just because they want to fill their lot. And get what they want and they don't care who they hurt along the way to that. Know when it comes to upholding the testimony of Christ before a lost and Dying World. This is the public perfume scenario comes in do a lot of things you can work things out. I'm not telling you to be on time. I'm not telling you to turn a blind eye to people who have genuine need if you come away with that you are misunderstanding me grossly because we need to pursue every opportunity and every Avenue to help as much as we can without except for when Download that kill are you with me fighting that battle. We give glory to Christ in a way that we could never do otherwise When you're absolutely certain that Jesus Christ will be in the center of it all that you'd if you dye it yourself in it. He will get the glory and others would be drawn again.

and he increases

John the Baptist until death and here was a man whose Ministry was in the Limelight. For quite some time and here is a man who suffer for righteousness sake he stood up for what was right and lost his head for it. Jesus Christ said if that man has not been a greater born among women that John the Baptist. Call Self begin to doubt what he knew about the life when he was in the Darkness. And Jesus come to your in.

Burst number 33 after he helps us deal with our passions up to this point from her 21 442. He's been really dealing with the internal passions. Now, he's helping his disciples deal with the promises and the things that they say they need to line up. We record time importance of being an advocate for Jesus Christ in the court of honor. And I was in verses 33 to 37. We are surrounded by ourselves in any way but Jesus Christ and let your yays be yay. Let your Nay be nay another word to say to me what you said be a person of your word keep your commit. Any better that you didn't open your mouth in the promise something you don't intend to fulfill that's a pot and that has no place in the follower of Jesus Christ.

You can't compartmentalize your life. Doesn't work that way Jesus Christ has to be in the center.

Border Collie

Is it going to fall down. Talk about lordship salvation, so don't go down that road, but we do need to make it more like we do need to Balvenie and submit his authority as we do that because we love him because of what he's done for us now notice in versus 3242 how we need to be a disciple for crime in to be an advocate for him in the court of appeals. Original word for this was the court of terrier. I thought about going to make an appeal to court of appeals. Someone comes to you and makes an appeal to you. Because Jesus says come with me.

He's quoting Exodus. A timer the eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I am saying to you. That you resist not evil, but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right she turn to him the other also take away. Coat, let it have died quote. Also, I'll go in and give to him that damn that would borrow turn not thou away. What are the size if you apply this strongly? And you just blanket every part of your life with it. I don't think you're following Jesus's words as carefully as you should you will bear a lot of Heartache in a lot of Burden. It is unnecessary that Jesus would never put on you. In fact, if you take this to an extreme that don't understand what you said you were wind-up contradicting other scripture. Because the Bible doesn't contradict itself. Resist not evil. I'm telling you if you take that position to extremely. I'll catch up with you in heaven.

Because the bad guys are coming. And we have an obligation to provide and protect. And we stand for Liberty and stand for freedom. In God as a horse eagle.

So there is a scenario in which resisting evil should not be done. You should not resist evil. This is the contact.

The greatest illustration is the man who spoke these words.

Because there was a time when he could have resisted evil. When is the cycle attempted to resist evil and Jesus corrected them and said suffered me. So for now What was that moment it was pointing to his hour of Glory the moment when Jesus crying with Don Calvary. Percent of all mankind he resisted evil and call.

But he resisted not evil because he knew one. and salvation depended on

To have true righteousness we have to have a proper understanding of the wall. We have to know that now I'm referring to the Old Testament law. We have to have this backdrop the verse that Jesus died for eye tooth for tooth hand for hand foot for foot.

Edison the law of Retribution In other words, it's okay to have retribution up to the point. What's the third? What did they do to you? Did they take mean I from you will then we can persecute him and prosecute them to the full extent of the law up to taking their eyes. That's the Law of Retribution Jesus's that's because it's the heart that he's concerned about This law has no place in your heart for that. This agrees with what Paul says in Romans chapter 12 patience is mine. I will repay saith the Lord. That verse doesn't say vengeance is fine. You can repay.

Vengeance is mine. It's worth going after their eyes were going after their hand. Is it worth going after their foot or do I despair the cross? And pray for them and let God make things right and give that to him and say Lord. This is beyond me, but I'm praying for their soul because they need you.

Jesus is stating the Old Testament then he explained. The Old Testament not just his opinion but these are the holy words of scripture that our savior head pounding and explanation of what was given in the wall 6 contract. That kills straight the true righteousness and true righteousness. Good luck.

Each of these steaks introduced Again by the phrase you've heard that it has been said the first was he recounts the lawn verse 21 22 23 to 26 27 28 commands for Urgent action in versus 29 and 30 with the law. And this is specifically a writing of divorce and this is inverse of 31 and 32 and I know that on purpose because it was a writing of divorcement. This was not an action of the Courts of the day. This was a piece of paper that someone would give to their spouse to say I'm done with you. Jesus combat senses not so fast. Take me to give me the cast of God of the promise. You have no business doing that.

And here he comes to the law of retaliation in versus 3842. What I would encourage you they stopped his words is to be low. In retaliation take your time. Don't rush into retaliation. Maybe we can practically see what God might be doing beyond the immediate moment. of her don't live your life in a way that is so eager to retaliate the trolls looking how to make things right and how to leverage eye for an eye tooth for a tooth.

We can go straight to the Persian Royal post office for a civilian to carry official correspondence. Roman military

their personnel can organize fans of unpaid labourer from the common people to use those laborers to construct roads to build fortifications to build public buildings. No compensation tomorrow, it will get to work and there's nothing to do about it.

Let me give you one of the most probably familiar illustrations of this in the New Testament. Now I'm going to challenge your thinking for some of you probably here for others. You've been with me long enough to know how I stand on this past. Let me first say that I Believe In My Savior and I believe in his power and that though. He was a man. He had steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. And he never once wavered. He never once folder. I challenge you to go find any words in the scriptures that say Jesus fell beneath the load of the cross.

If you find them, please let me know. Cuz I don't think you will. So I do not believe that Jesus fell in weekend. I don't believe that but nevertheless the scriptures that someone was compelled. Take care of you cross. My explanation of that goes to the text because the man's name is Simon. He has Toussaint.

to this boy's hair with Simon

can't believe this but I would guess that Simon Cyrene was a black man. I mean that with all due respect.

and this man there with his son watching this terrific account of an innocent man being put to death Jesus I believe once Because he was strong enough to bear that when he laid down his life. It was because he gave up the ghost not because any man took his life. And we do not have a weak savior know he is strong. This is about the Roman Centurion that's there in the soldier comparing him to take.

Simon being being the man that he is.

This is sad commentary on history. Is it not? Depriving heart of man the Romans and the Jews there is a street here comes the king of the Jews. Every King has service.

You carry the cross. USANA you're going to be his servant. Because if he doesn't carry himself son you carry.

But that's the part of the depravity than all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and know what Simon I don't know. I wasn't there maybe if you try to run away. Maybe he tried to avoid it. There's no way you're going because of the law of Roman they can compel him to build a fort if they wanted to they could compel him as someone there in the streets. So it sort of point. With this voice want this make cops take the truck from Jesus and does his part.

outward without hesitation

so when the world when the world Thomas and puts a sword to my throat and says you

what am I going to do?

Or will I follow Simon's example and say not much.

So that Jesus gets the glory Simon disappears and we hear nothing more of him. But Jesus Christ is magnified in all glory.

No.

the great turn billion Means A Thousand Faces and that is a measurement approximately equal to 4854 Ft. If you think about how many feet are in a mile then I'll help you understand why the translators did if someone compels you to go a mile. Go to a million.

precisely 4854 ft but if you don't

some as I have said it taken an extreme position on this aspect of resisting them. Historically the anabaptists were notorious for this and I don't know if Sergeant York might have been mistaken for an anabaptist at one point or another but remember Sergeant York Story by the first when he was drafted. He saw every way possible. I think this is a good spirit to have in approaching people to Mario's email it.

Cutting light Sergeant York. How do you single-handedly almost? Humble, man, you never take credit for it, but using his skills from the back went to Tennessee hunting turkeys. Germans let them all in here comes with apple in German Army just about in World War II. music Christian and at the beginning of his timing in the Army and the military his commanders its leaders were hesitant to put them in a position of leadership until they saw him install 12 solid with this one. So he was not an anabaptist in the sense that we just let evil run over us like a freight train and we don't do anything to stop understood. There's something Q stand for there some things we fight for and we must protect. We have to have courage to do that Leo. Tolstoy books that you should never resist in the evil. And I'll give you some comments on that here in the moment. But he went to New strength and basically say whatever and rationalism deep down inside. Because he was confronted. What is chance of resisting evil? It was found out that deep down inside this man believed that all

Set if you were to turn a human being alone without any outside influence. What I'm going to a forest he would become woman and in any would-be Harmony Inn. Nothing will happen for that kid.

Mark my words.

But this is a difference in world news and in the day, which he lived the humanistic approach would become a prominent. And so when he was advocating for it's telling you it's a dream that cannot be realized apart from when Jesus Christ returns and foolish rules from Jerusalem.

You want to call that Utopia? That's the millennial Reign and Jesus Christ will rule. There will be peace for Thousand Years on Earth.

Hopefully dream is just that it's a dream. It can't be realized but this is the kind of big toe penis in that has fed Marxism and communism and socialism and maybe never said it better than I do because I think last week.

But what are you going to give up today? Nothing's free fight for liberty of Truth and justice for all.

Hopefully not long. Does he want to steal anymore and nobody wants to murder anymore?

There's another man who advocated for this wrongly. I believe I believe.

He went so far as to even Implement The Sermon on the Mount.

And he would resist peacefully right he would have his peace resistance things that he would do.

Simply put if you think about where he was going to receive his spiritual teaching that he was really working with to try to get on board with his ideas for peace. He's making in that regard with Britain, which was primarily appeal.

But Mark this will you take the same things that Gandhi did in India and try to do in Britain and you do them in Russia or Germany? I'll tell you what you wanted up with. You'll have gone any standing strong for about 3 days and then he will be silenced and never heard from again.

Not trying to get in time. I am simply pointing out that humanity. Is he praying and Central?

give thanks to the Lord. This is the principle that belongs to the courts of law in personal life in our walk with him. We have to be rid of all retaliation in word and deed.

Retaliation many times stems from bitterness that hasn't been dealt with Biblical.

We have to give you.

We must not repay injury. Bolinas surf report exist in this context is how we will overcome evil with good you had to balance to stay to resist not evil with other passages like Romans to submit to all got our name to 40. I think it's true. Give me time to give me your attention. I appreciate that. Thank you. Just the same word that Paul says in his date for the Roman Emperor Nero persecuted Christians.

No, in fact me I don't recommend that you get involved in Psychology but psychiatrist helping us try to understand strength and weakness

Stop trying to help people psychologists. Tell us that violence is born of weakness. Not straight. That's what they're saying. In other words, if you're weak that's when you become violent because that's the way you know how to retaliate to make sense to me because I've seen kids before they don't know how to use the word friend. Shut your mouth it takes strength.
