00:00:02,190 --> 00:00:04,130
The Call of Jesus

2
00:00:05,331 --> 00:00:08,940
Welcome to lesson 19 -
"The Whole Story".

3
00:00:09,350 --> 00:00:13,890
We are going to look at
the most important thing, in this video.

4
00:00:14,010 --> 00:00:17,242
The most important thing is:
why we are here?

5
00:00:17,402 --> 00:00:19,520
What is it that separate us
from God?

6
00:00:19,650 --> 00:00:22,412
How sin has separated us
from God

7
00:00:22,412 --> 00:00:25,630
and what it was
Jesus did on the cross?

8
00:00:25,630 --> 00:00:28,810
This is so, so important.

9
00:00:28,810 --> 00:00:31,360
It's important that we understand it.

10
00:00:31,460 --> 00:00:33,262
It's important that you understand it.

11
00:00:33,262 --> 00:00:39,700
And it's also important that you take the time 
to explain it to other people out there.

12
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:43,717
That you tell them the whole story.

13
00:00:43,847 --> 00:00:47,396
Don't be "nice" and compromise.

14
00:00:47,396 --> 00:00:51,800
We have too many Christians,
too many believers who are so nice,

15
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,261
they don't want to see people suffer,
so therefore they tell nothing.

16
00:00:55,511 --> 00:00:58,577
They keep quiet. 
They don't want to talk about sin.

17
00:00:58,677 --> 00:01:01,250
They don't want to talk about
the issue.

18
00:01:01,420 --> 00:01:06,213
But people need to know sin,
before they can receive Christ.

19
00:01:06,213 --> 00:01:11,698
Try to imagine a doctor who has 
a patient coming in, who has cancer.

20
00:01:11,698 --> 00:01:15,722
He's very, very, very sick of that cancer
and he's going to die.

21
00:01:15,722 --> 00:01:18,356
But that doctor has his medicine.

22
00:01:18,356 --> 00:01:22,475
This medicine will work if...

23
00:01:22,925 --> 00:01:27,661
...the patient follows the description 
100%.

24
00:01:27,661 --> 00:01:33,642
He needs to follow every word and take 
the medicine every day at the same time.

25
00:01:33,642 --> 00:01:37,330
Otherwise, the medicine will not work.

26
00:01:37,330 --> 00:01:40,785
That doctor, when that patient with
cancer comes,

27
00:01:40,785 --> 00:01:45,410
he will not say: Hey, hey, everything
is good, everything is fine,

28
00:01:45,410 --> 00:01:48,968
but here some medicine, 
if you want it you can take it.

29
00:01:48,968 --> 00:01:52,453
I encourage you to follow it, but you are, 
actually, okay, everything is fine.

30
00:01:52,763 --> 00:01:56,366
No, he would not be afraid
to tell the truth.

31
00:01:56,366 --> 00:02:00,457
Hey, the truth is:
You have cancer all over.

32
00:02:00,457 --> 00:02:02,870
You have cancer all over your body.

33
00:02:02,870 --> 00:02:04,613
And you are going to die.

34
00:02:05,033 --> 00:02:07,682
You are going to die if...

35
00:02:07,812 --> 00:02:10,140
...if we don't treat this cancer.

36
00:02:10,140 --> 00:02:14,547
And this cancer is already spread
there, and there, and there.

37
00:02:14,547 --> 00:02:18,994
And the doctor takes good time
to tell about this cancer

38
00:02:18,994 --> 00:02:22,181
and how this cancer is killing his body,

39
00:02:22,551 --> 00:02:26,429
even the other guy maybe starts to cry
and feel sad.

40
00:02:26,559 --> 00:02:30,250
Why? Because that is the truth.

41
00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:33,950
And because, 
if you don't give him the bad news,

42
00:02:33,950 --> 00:02:36,540
he will not be able 
to receive the good news.

43
00:02:36,540 --> 00:02:39,666
And after he has told the patient
the bad news,

44
00:02:39,666 --> 00:02:41,839
and how he has cancer all over his body,

45
00:02:41,839 --> 00:02:44,426
then he can say: But...

46
00:02:44,776 --> 00:02:46,312
I have some good news.

47
00:02:46,312 --> 00:02:51,610
This treatment can help you,
but you need to follow it 100%.

48
00:02:51,610 --> 00:02:57,521
But in this moment, at this time,
because of the bad news he heard first,

49
00:02:57,521 --> 00:03:02,279
he's ready to take this treatment
and follow it 100%.

50
00:03:03,499 --> 00:03:05,827
The bad news is sin.

51
00:03:06,007 --> 00:03:08,287
We have all sinned.

52
00:03:08,655 --> 00:03:11,679
And people need to know this.

53
00:03:11,849 --> 00:03:14,239
And when I talk with people 
about Jesus,

54
00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:16,798
I like to start in the beginning.

55
00:03:16,798 --> 00:03:18,637
I encourage you to start
in the beginning,

56
00:03:18,637 --> 00:03:22,110
to show them where
it all went wrong,

57
00:03:22,110 --> 00:03:25,133
and also show them
how God looked at earth

58
00:03:25,133 --> 00:03:27,221
and why we need forgiveness.

59
00:03:27,491 --> 00:03:31,897
In the beginning of the Bible
we read how God created heaven and earth,

60
00:03:31,897 --> 00:03:38,419
and how He said that everything He created
was very, very good.

61
00:03:38,419 --> 00:03:44,208
Everything God created in the beginning
was good. It was perfect.

62
00:03:44,408 --> 00:03:47,684
God created a perfect world.

63
00:03:47,684 --> 00:03:49,296
And people need to know that.

64
00:03:51,006 --> 00:03:56,277
And there I often focus on how people
walked with God.

65
00:03:56,277 --> 00:04:02,586
Because in Genesis 2 we read
how God, in details, created Adam and Eve

66
00:04:02,586 --> 00:04:06,347
and put them with Him in the garden.

67
00:04:06,347 --> 00:04:11,872
You can read that in Genesis 2,
how God created Adam and Eve

68
00:04:11,872 --> 00:04:16,166
and put them in the garden,
to take care of the garden,

69
00:04:16,166 --> 00:04:20,965
and how they walked with God.

70
00:04:20,965 --> 00:04:25,336
We can also read in Genesis 2
that in the middle of the garden

71
00:04:25,336 --> 00:04:27,654
there was the tree of life,

72
00:04:27,654 --> 00:04:32,712
and how they should eat of this 
tree of life and live forever.

73
00:04:32,712 --> 00:04:35,768
But there was also another tree -
the tree of knowledge good and evil

74
00:04:35,768 --> 00:04:39,070
and they were not allowed to
eat of this tree.

75
00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:43,486
But we also read how they,
actually, went against God's command.

76
00:04:43,486 --> 00:04:47,566
So they took of the wrong tree.

77
00:04:47,806 --> 00:04:51,970
And therefore, they were thrown
out of the garden,

78
00:04:52,510 --> 00:04:54,832
separated from God.
Why?

79
00:04:54,832 --> 00:04:58,705
Because now He didn't want them to eat 
of the tree of life and live forever,

80
00:04:58,705 --> 00:05:02,957
because then we will always
have a problem with sin.

81
00:05:03,407 --> 00:05:07,032
So, this is the beginning.
The beginning is...

82
00:05:07,842 --> 00:05:12,981
...that God created man
to walk with Him,

83
00:05:12,981 --> 00:05:15,289
to have fellowship with Him.

84
00:05:15,289 --> 00:05:18,305
They walked together in the garden,
they had fellowship,

85
00:05:18,305 --> 00:05:22,341
and the world God created was perfect.

86
00:05:22,821 --> 00:05:26,807
And man was supposed to eat
of the tree of life and live forever

87
00:05:26,807 --> 00:05:29,797
and everything should always be good.

88
00:05:29,797 --> 00:05:31,750
But they sinned against God.

89
00:05:31,750 --> 00:05:33,359
They took of the wrong tree.

90
00:05:33,359 --> 00:05:34,810
Sin came in.

91
00:05:34,810 --> 00:05:37,520
And God said: Oh, if they now 
eat of the tree of life,

92
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,412
they will live forever.
We will always have problem with sin.

93
00:05:40,412 --> 00:05:43,369
And therefore man was thrown
out of the garden,

94
00:05:43,369 --> 00:05:45,936
away from the tree of life,

95
00:05:45,936 --> 00:05:48,735
and therefore, separated from God.

96
00:05:49,105 --> 00:05:52,446
And this is so important 
that people know this,

97
00:05:52,446 --> 00:05:55,289
that this was the beginning,

98
00:05:55,289 --> 00:06:01,396
and that gives a clear picture
of why the world is as it is today.

99
00:06:02,326 --> 00:06:05,351
We are now living in a world
that is not perfect.

100
00:06:05,481 --> 00:06:09,174
We are living in a world 
that is far from perfect.

101
00:06:09,314 --> 00:06:12,265
And it's just going the wrong way.
It's going down.

102
00:06:12,355 --> 00:06:14,305
And I've met many people who say:

103
00:06:14,305 --> 00:06:19,458
Hey, how can there be God
when so many bad things are happening?

104
00:06:19,908 --> 00:06:22,370
The answer you find in the beginning.

105
00:06:22,470 --> 00:06:26,081
This was not how God created
the world.

106
00:06:26,231 --> 00:06:30,836
God created the world perfect,
where man walked with God.

107
00:06:30,836 --> 00:06:34,185
But then man rebelled.
Man sinned.

108
00:06:34,185 --> 00:06:36,375
And he was thrown away
from the garden.

109
00:06:36,375 --> 00:06:42,369
And since that time, 
it has just gone wrong, wrong, wrong.

110
00:06:42,369 --> 00:06:44,900
And God doesn't look down on earth
today and say:

111
00:06:44,900 --> 00:06:47,010
Oh, I love everyone! 
It's so beautiful.

112
00:06:47,010 --> 00:06:50,383
Look at you. I love every evil thing
that is happening.

113
00:06:50,383 --> 00:06:52,960
No. God doesn't look like that.

114
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,035
We can read that in Genesis 6:5-6:

115
00:06:56,456 --> 00:07:01,663
"The Lord saw how great the wickedness
of the human race had become on the earth,

116
00:07:01,663 --> 00:07:08,562
and that every inclination of the thoughts
of the human heart was only evil all the time.

117
00:07:08,562 --> 00:07:12,403
The Lord regretted that He had made
human beings on the earth,

118
00:07:12,403 --> 00:07:15,154
and His heart was deeply troubled."

119
00:07:15,424 --> 00:07:18,158
Here we read how God looked down
on earth

120
00:07:18,158 --> 00:07:20,630
and regretted He created man.

121
00:07:20,630 --> 00:07:22,076
Because of the sins.

122
00:07:22,076 --> 00:07:24,326
And His heart was deeply troubled.

123
00:07:24,326 --> 00:07:27,734
He did not look down and said:
"Everything is amazing!" No.

124
00:07:27,734 --> 00:07:33,316
God did not like 
what we see here on earth.

125
00:07:33,316 --> 00:07:34,757
He doesn't like it.

126
00:07:34,757 --> 00:07:40,277
At that time, because of men's sins,
He actually found Noah, who built the ark,

127
00:07:40,277 --> 00:07:43,577
and He judged the world
because of sin.

128
00:07:43,837 --> 00:07:45,172
But there was a problem.

129
00:07:45,172 --> 00:07:48,246
Because as soon as Noah 
came out of the arc...

130
00:07:48,396 --> 00:07:49,660
...we saw sin again.

131
00:07:49,660 --> 00:07:55,200
Why? Because the sin is not only
inside the earth.

132
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,038
The sin is deep inside of man.

133
00:07:58,128 --> 00:08:01,188
The sin is deep inside of man.

134
00:08:01,348 --> 00:08:03,454
It's deep inside of you.

135
00:08:03,874 --> 00:08:04,862
of me,

136
00:08:05,102 --> 00:08:07,740
of all who are away from God,

137
00:08:07,740 --> 00:08:12,124
who's not born again,
who has not got that new heart yet.

138
00:08:12,314 --> 00:08:16,728
The problem is our hearts.
The problem is sin.

139
00:08:16,818 --> 00:08:19,240
And we need to start here.

140
00:08:19,870 --> 00:08:24,185
We need to start in the beginning.

141
00:08:24,465 --> 00:08:30,731
Why should people want a savior 
if they don't see they are lost?

142
00:08:30,891 --> 00:08:36,173
Why should people want forgiveness
if they don't see they have sinned?

143
00:08:36,353 --> 00:08:40,898
And we, as the church,
have done a big, big, big mistake,

144
00:08:40,898 --> 00:08:45,762
that we have been serving Jesus
to self-righteous people,

145
00:08:45,762 --> 00:08:48,598
to people who don't see their sins.

146
00:08:48,598 --> 00:08:52,403
And that is like throw pearls to pigs.

147
00:08:52,513 --> 00:08:57,380
In Matthew 7:6 Jesus is saying that.
He said:

148
00:08:57,380 --> 00:09:00,185
"Do not throw your pearls to pigs.

149
00:09:00,185 --> 00:09:03,456
If you do, they may trample them 
under their foot,

150
00:09:03,456 --> 00:09:05,750
and turn and tear you to pieces."

151
00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:11,115
And this is what we have been doing
by telling: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,

152
00:09:11,115 --> 00:09:13,236
Jesus, Jesus to people,

153
00:09:13,236 --> 00:09:15,712
without talking about sin first.

154
00:09:15,712 --> 00:09:18,866
People are now mocking us.
"Er, why do I need Jesus?"

155
00:09:18,866 --> 00:09:20,806
And they use that against us.

156
00:09:21,326 --> 00:09:26,374
No, we need to take time to talk about sin.

157
00:09:26,374 --> 00:09:30,737
We need to help people to understand
that they have sinned,

158
00:09:30,737 --> 00:09:33,393
and they need a savior.

159
00:09:33,663 --> 00:09:37,629
Before that, 
before we talk about the sickness,

160
00:09:37,629 --> 00:09:40,050
we cannot come with the cure.

161
00:09:40,210 --> 00:09:45,369
If we move on and look at Romans 3:23,
where we read:

162
00:09:45,369 --> 00:09:50,094
"For all have sinned and fall short
of the glory of God."

163
00:09:50,214 --> 00:09:55,365
All people have sinned,
but they don't understand it.

164
00:09:55,365 --> 00:09:58,381
They don't understand 
that they have sinned.

165
00:09:58,381 --> 00:10:03,815
So, our job as believers,
is we need to help them

166
00:10:03,815 --> 00:10:09,657
to see their sin 
by using the law of God.

167
00:10:09,787 --> 00:10:16,163
I often use Matthew 5. In Matthew 5 
Jesus talked about different things.

168
00:10:16,253 --> 00:10:21,374
One time He talked about anger
and He said this in Matthew 5:21-22:

169
00:10:22,234 --> 00:10:26,231
"You have heard that it was said 
to the people long ago,

170
00:10:26,231 --> 00:10:30,770
'You shall not murder, and anyone 
who murders will be subject to judgment.'

171
00:10:30,770 --> 00:10:35,871
But I tell you that everyone who is angry
with a brother or sister

172
00:10:35,871 --> 00:10:38,470
will be subject to judgment.

173
00:10:38,470 --> 00:10:45,940
Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister,
'Raca' (idiot) is answerable to the court.

174
00:10:45,940 --> 00:10:52,152
And everyone who says, 'You fool!'
will be in danger of the fire of hell."

175
00:10:53,262 --> 00:10:55,205
These are very, very strong words.

176
00:10:55,205 --> 00:10:58,342
We often hear Jesus said: 
"Love your neighbor as yourself",

177
00:10:58,342 --> 00:11:01,207
but it's not so often we hear
these words.

178
00:11:01,277 --> 00:11:03,370
But this is the truth.

179
00:11:03,770 --> 00:11:08,765
If you murder you are guilty,
but Jesus goes deeper,

180
00:11:08,765 --> 00:11:11,297
because the heart was the issue.

181
00:11:11,297 --> 00:11:14,954
So, He said: If you just have
hate in your heart,

182
00:11:14,954 --> 00:11:17,914
you are already guilty.

183
00:11:18,134 --> 00:11:21,153
If you said: "idiot" or "raca"
to somebody,

184
00:11:21,153 --> 00:11:23,539
you are guilty to hell.

185
00:11:24,089 --> 00:11:25,668
These are Jesus' words.

186
00:11:25,668 --> 00:11:29,295
And after these words
He continued talking about the lost.

187
00:11:29,725 --> 00:11:32,961
In Matthew 5:27-30 He says this:

188
00:11:32,961 --> 00:11:36,296
"You have heard that it was said,
'You shall not commit adultery.'

189
00:11:36,296 --> 00:11:40,850
But I tell you that everyone
who looks on a woman lustfully

190
00:11:40,850 --> 00:11:44,940
has already committed adultery
with her in his heart.

191
00:11:44,940 --> 00:11:49,960
If your right eye causes you to stumble,
pluck it out and throw it away.

192
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,925
It is better for you to lose one eye
of your body

193
00:11:53,925 --> 00:11:57,597
than your whole body to be thrown
into hell.

194
00:11:57,597 --> 00:12:02,616
And if your right hand causes you to stumble,
cut it off and throw it away.

195
00:12:02,616 --> 00:12:05,904
It is better for you to lose 
one part of your body

196
00:12:05,904 --> 00:12:10,272
than your whole body get thrown
into hell."

197
00:12:11,192 --> 00:12:13,133
These are Jesus' words.

198
00:12:13,133 --> 00:12:17,339
That is what Jesus is saying.
Why did He say this?

199
00:12:17,339 --> 00:12:22,259
Because we need to see
the seriousness of sin.

200
00:12:22,259 --> 00:12:27,923
We need to see our sin
before we need a savior.

201
00:12:27,923 --> 00:12:29,566
And that was the problem.

202
00:12:29,566 --> 00:12:35,050
Many self-righteous Pharisees at that time
did not understand they needed Jesus.

203
00:12:35,050 --> 00:12:40,530
But those who saw their sin
were those who needed a savior.

204
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,842
Let me ask you:
Have you done this?

205
00:12:42,842 --> 00:12:45,686
Have you looked with lust
on somebody?

206
00:12:45,816 --> 00:12:47,975
Have you sat there and 
looked at porn?

207
00:12:48,125 --> 00:12:49,980
Are you doing that now?

208
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,966
Are you living a life in sin?

209
00:12:53,116 --> 00:12:54,872
Then you are lost.

210
00:12:55,122 --> 00:12:58,179
You need a new heart.

211
00:12:58,349 --> 00:13:00,313
You need to be born again.

212
00:13:00,413 --> 00:13:03,338
You need a new heart
and a new spirit,

213
00:13:03,418 --> 00:13:05,806
and you need freedom from your sin.

214
00:13:05,806 --> 00:13:08,267
It's not enough to believe that
there is a God.

215
00:13:08,267 --> 00:13:10,770
You need a new heart.

216
00:13:10,770 --> 00:13:13,039
You need to wash away your sins,

217
00:13:13,039 --> 00:13:14,695
and you need a new spirit

218
00:13:14,955 --> 00:13:15,821
in you.

219
00:13:16,021 --> 00:13:17,250
A new life.

220
00:13:17,460 --> 00:13:21,409
Try to imagine, I have a camera
which is filming your life.

221
00:13:21,699 --> 00:13:26,680
And I often use this example
when I talk with people about sin.

222
00:13:26,750 --> 00:13:29,287
Try to imagine I have a camera
and I film your life.

223
00:13:29,287 --> 00:13:31,547
I have your whole life on my camera.

224
00:13:32,207 --> 00:13:35,858
I see everything. Not everything. 
I don't see all the good deeds.

225
00:13:35,858 --> 00:13:38,990
Because the good deeds you have done
are not a plus on your account,

226
00:13:38,990 --> 00:13:42,259
and the bad deeds are a minus.
People sometimes think that.

227
00:13:42,259 --> 00:13:45,468
If I just have more plus then minus,
everything is okay.

228
00:13:45,468 --> 00:13:49,079
No. The good deeds are the zero.

229
00:13:49,219 --> 00:13:52,342
Because the good deeds are what
have been expected from you.

230
00:13:52,342 --> 00:13:55,846
But sin is sin.
It's a minus.

231
00:13:55,986 --> 00:13:59,244
Let's say I have your life on my camera

232
00:13:59,244 --> 00:14:03,152
and I will now show the whole world 
your life.

233
00:14:03,452 --> 00:14:06,707
The unclean things you have said
and done,

234
00:14:06,707 --> 00:14:09,100
the evil things you have said and done,

235
00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:10,988
the times when you have stolen 
something,

236
00:14:10,988 --> 00:14:13,205
the times you have misused 
God's words,

237
00:14:13,205 --> 00:14:15,504
the times you looked with lust
on somebody

238
00:14:15,504 --> 00:14:17,890
and had fantasies about them,

239
00:14:17,890 --> 00:14:22,915
the times you have been lying 
and the times you broke God's law.

240
00:14:22,915 --> 00:14:27,801
And James 2 is saying that
whoever keeps the whole law

241
00:14:27,801 --> 00:14:33,784
and yet stumble in just one point
is guilty in breaking them all.

242
00:14:34,384 --> 00:14:38,225
Try to imagine I put your life
on a camera

243
00:14:38,225 --> 00:14:45,393
and I show you the most evil, selfish, 
unclean things to you and the whole world.

244
00:14:45,783 --> 00:14:47,663
You would be so ashamed.

245
00:14:47,663 --> 00:14:52,361
You would be so ashamed if people around 
you saw what you have really been looking at,

246
00:14:52,361 --> 00:14:55,766
saw what you have been thinking,
saw what you have been doing.

247
00:14:55,766 --> 00:14:59,488
And the truth is: You are
guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty.

248
00:14:59,488 --> 00:15:02,746
And you and everyone else
deserve hell.

249
00:15:03,046 --> 00:15:03,780
Why?

250
00:15:03,990 --> 00:15:08,100
Because God is good and you are not.

251
00:15:08,390 --> 00:15:11,230
And if you say you have not sinned,
you make God a liar

252
00:15:11,230 --> 00:15:15,410
and the truth is not in you, the Bible says.

253
00:15:15,660 --> 00:15:21,103
This is the truth and 
people need to know this.

254
00:15:21,103 --> 00:15:25,323
People need to know how much
they have sinned,

255
00:15:25,323 --> 00:15:32,577
and what sin is, before we talk about
the good news - Christ.

256
00:15:32,827 --> 00:15:35,366
Jesus said something in Luke 7.

257
00:15:35,366 --> 00:15:41,925
He talked about that there were two persons 
who owed money to a moneylender.

258
00:15:41,925 --> 00:15:44,960
And that moneylender forgave 
both of them.

259
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:50,633
One of them he forgave 500 dinars,
and one he forgave 50.

260
00:15:50,633 --> 00:15:54,886
And then Jesus asked people around Him:
Who loved the most?

261
00:15:54,886 --> 00:15:59,480
And they said: The one who have been
forgiven most.

262
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:04,753
And Jesus continued: Therefore I tell you,
it was about a woman who was caught in sin,

263
00:16:04,753 --> 00:16:11,383
her many sins have been forgiven,
as her great love has shown,

264
00:16:11,383 --> 00:16:16,420
but whoever have been forgiven little,
loves little.

265
00:16:16,550 --> 00:16:21,738
What Jesus is trying to say here
is that the one who loves the most,

266
00:16:21,738 --> 00:16:26,926
or love much, is the one who have been
forgiven much.

267
00:16:27,606 --> 00:16:34,106
Why do people in churches today
don't love Jesus more than they do?

268
00:16:34,796 --> 00:16:36,472
The answer is simple.

269
00:16:36,632 --> 00:16:40,789
They don't understand
how much they have been forgiven.

270
00:16:40,789 --> 00:16:46,227
They have never really seen their sins
and how much they have been forgiven.

271
00:16:46,227 --> 00:16:49,186
And if you are a "nice" person,
being in church your whole life,

272
00:16:49,186 --> 00:16:53,632
or you are a drug addict 
out on the street, been in jail,

273
00:16:54,202 --> 00:16:56,664
you are guilty the same.

274
00:16:56,964 --> 00:17:01,903
And you who have been a "nice" person,
when you start to see your sin,

275
00:17:01,903 --> 00:17:06,889
you will love Jesus as much
as that homeless drug addict person,

276
00:17:06,889 --> 00:17:08,308
who have been in jail.

277
00:17:08,308 --> 00:17:11,620
Why? Because you have been 
forgiven as much as them.

278
00:17:11,770 --> 00:17:14,586
Because we have all sinned.

279
00:17:15,756 --> 00:17:19,678
You don't do people a favor

280
00:17:19,868 --> 00:17:22,098
by not talking about their sins.

281
00:17:22,098 --> 00:17:23,673
You do the opposite.

282
00:17:23,673 --> 00:17:27,746
If you don't talk about sin to people
and let them see their sins,

283
00:17:27,746 --> 00:17:31,120
they will never see their need
for a savior,

284
00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:35,515
they will never really repent
and they will never really love Jesus.

285
00:17:35,515 --> 00:17:41,016
So, if you love people around you,
you need to start with the beginning

286
00:17:41,016 --> 00:17:46,079
and tell the story, and let people
know why they need a savior.

287
00:17:46,609 --> 00:17:51,933
Before you give a person 
a vaccination / Jesus,

288
00:17:52,583 --> 00:17:55,009
show them their sickness,

289
00:17:55,009 --> 00:17:57,201
show them their sins.

290
00:17:57,851 --> 00:18:00,431
And there I want to say,
I said it also last time,

291
00:18:00,431 --> 00:18:03,461
we have resources,
we have videos,

292
00:18:03,461 --> 00:18:06,248
where we show you 
how we share the gospel.

293
00:18:06,248 --> 00:18:08,166
And I encourage you to see
those videos.

294
00:18:08,166 --> 00:18:12,408
I'll put them together with
the description here.

295
00:18:12,408 --> 00:18:15,656
And there is a video called
"The Cups and Cookies".

296
00:18:15,656 --> 00:18:18,555
There is also a video where
we use the gospel cards.

297
00:18:18,555 --> 00:18:22,205
And I really, really encourage you,
until the next time,

298
00:18:22,495 --> 00:18:25,197
take the time to go through it.

299
00:18:25,197 --> 00:18:29,123
Take the time to learn
how to share the gospel.

300
00:18:29,123 --> 00:18:33,394
When we talk about people sin,
don't come like this.

301
00:18:33,394 --> 00:18:36,504
"You have done that.
You, you, you, you!"

302
00:18:36,504 --> 00:18:40,130
But take the Word of Christ,
Jesus' words, and say:

303
00:18:40,130 --> 00:18:43,740
Jesus is saying: everyone who looks
with lust on somebody

304
00:18:43,740 --> 00:18:45,660
has already committed adultery
in his heart.

305
00:18:45,660 --> 00:18:48,027
Have you done that?
Have you ever looked with lust on somebody?

306
00:18:48,027 --> 00:18:51,377
Okay. What does that mean?
You have broken His law.

307
00:18:51,377 --> 00:18:55,131
Jesus also said: If you broke
one of the laws, you are guilty in them all.

308
00:18:55,131 --> 00:18:58,207
Jesus said: if you have hate in your heart
you are murderer.

309
00:18:58,207 --> 00:19:01,196
Did you ever have hate in your heart,
towards somebody?

310
00:19:01,346 --> 00:19:03,220
They you are a murderer.

311
00:19:03,220 --> 00:19:08,233
And then, try to, not in a guilty way,
in the I'm-better-than-you way,

312
00:19:08,233 --> 00:19:12,383
but in an honest, direct way,
get people to understand their sins.

313
00:19:12,383 --> 00:19:15,369
Get people to understand
their evil heart, their stone heart,

314
00:19:15,369 --> 00:19:18,281
and then, when they see that,

315
00:19:18,281 --> 00:19:20,146
come with the solution.

316
00:19:20,146 --> 00:19:23,586
Sometimes I start sharing the gospel
with people.

317
00:19:24,296 --> 00:19:26,590
I did it just a few weeks ago,
or a week ago.

318
00:19:26,590 --> 00:19:30,315
I sat with a guy. I said: give me ten minutes,
let me explain the gospel.

319
00:19:30,315 --> 00:19:35,783
I sat down with him and I started to share
the gospel, but when I started...

320
00:19:35,783 --> 00:19:38,623
I talked about sin, he was not
interested at all.

321
00:19:38,623 --> 00:19:41,000
What did I do? I stopped there.

322
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,875
I did not give him Jesus 
and the solution. Why?

323
00:19:43,875 --> 00:19:46,130
Because he was not ready for it.

324
00:19:46,230 --> 00:19:48,310
No. Start with sin.

325
00:19:48,310 --> 00:19:53,860
And when you then start with sin,
and then you explain what it is,

326
00:19:53,860 --> 00:19:56,337
like the doctor who has the patient
who has cancer,

327
00:19:57,107 --> 00:20:00,576
then say: But there is a good news.

328
00:20:00,576 --> 00:20:03,943
And in the next video I'm going to
tell about those good news.

329
00:20:03,943 --> 00:20:05,207
See you next time.

330
00:20:05,207 --> 00:20:06,117
Bye-bye!

331
00:20:07,746 --> 00:20:09,751
The Call of Jesus
