1 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: Life Audio. Today's episode is a sermon I gave it 2 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 1: my home church, Bethel, Coupertino in California. Welcome to the 3 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: Bible Study Podcast. I'm your host, Chris Christensen. This sermon 4 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: was on two different scriptures, one from First Samuel chapter sixteen, 5 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: verses one through thirteen, and the second one is from 6 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,639 Speaker 1: John chapter nine, verses one through forty one. And we'll 7 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: get started right after a word from this sponsor. Good morning. 8 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: We have three lessons today, and the one that I'm 9 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 1: not going to talk about is the one you know best, 10 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: which is Psalm twenty three, which is written by a shepherd. 11 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: You may have guessed, and that shepherd was David. But 12 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: we are going to talk about the calling of David 13 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: and that first lesson from First Samuel. So when we 14 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 1: start the lesson from First Samuel, to notice the prophet Samuel, 15 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 1: what is he doing. He is mourning King Saul, which 16 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: is odd because King Saul is not dead. King Saul 17 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: will live on for at least another decade, maybe two 18 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 1: as king. So we need to back up a bit 19 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: and see what the context is for these verses. When 20 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: we start the book of First Samuel, there is no 21 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: king in Israel when they need extra leadership, God will 22 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: appoint a judge, a judge like Deborah or Gideon, or 23 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: Samson or Samuel the prophet. But the people say, we 24 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: don't like this, God is our king and having these judges. 25 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: We want a king like everybody else has. We want 26 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: to be like everybody else. And so God relents and 27 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: has Samuel appoint Saul as king. And Saul looked like 28 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: a king. Saul, they said, was about a head taller 29 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: than everybody else. And we may laugh and say that 30 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: that's not what makes a good king. But even to 31 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: this day, studies say that we are more likely to 32 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: make someone a manager, a CEO, or even a president 33 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: if they're tall. So but the problem with Saul is, 34 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: at the point of our story, Saul has been disobedient 35 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: to God and God has rejected him. And Samuel, who 36 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: was on team Saul so Samuel was hoping Saul would 37 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: be successful, is mourning Saul, and God says, enough enough, 38 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: it's time to move on. I'm going to send you 39 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: to Jesse's house and you're going to name one of 40 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: his sons to be king in Saul's place. And Samuel 41 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: points out, we have a king right now, this is 42 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: going to get awkward. And God says, take a heifer. 43 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: You're going to go make a sacrifice, and you're going 44 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: to invite them to the sacrifice. Everything's going to be okay. 45 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: So he goes to Jesse's house. Jesse lines up his 46 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: sons in order of importance, oldest to youngest, because this 47 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: is a big deal when the prophet of God is 48 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: visiting your house and visiting your town. And Samuel looks 49 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: at the oldest of Jesse's sons and says, this guy 50 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: looks like a king. Notice anything wrong with that. The 51 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: guy we've got looked like a king. That was not 52 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: the problem. What God says to Samuel is I see 53 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: things differently than you do. Don't look on his appearance. 54 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: He doesn't have the heart is his problem. He doesn't 55 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: have what we would say as a servant's heart. He 56 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: doesn't have the heart to be the leader of God's people. 57 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: It's not him. And then we play a game of 58 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: what about that guy? Well, what about that guy? What 59 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: about that guy? And we go down the line of 60 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: seven sons and God rejects every single one, and so 61 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: now they're standing there and Jesse is standing with seven 62 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: sons all rejected, and Samuel has to ask the awkward question, 63 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: got any more sons? They said, well, yeah, there's one more, 64 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: the youngest. But to be frank they didn't think he 65 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: was important enough to be here. When the prophet of 66 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: God came to town. They left him in the field 67 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: with the sheep. Call for him, and so he comes 68 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: and Samuel sees him, and he's a good looking kid, 69 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: little sunburned, says Ruddy read in inflection. Handsome doesn't look 70 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: like a king. He looks like a shepherd boy, because 71 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: that's what he is. And God says, that's the guy. 72 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: That's the one I'm calling, and Samuel annoints David as king. 73 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: This is the calling story of King David. Now, our 74 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:41,239 Speaker 1: gospel lesson Today also has another example of God seeing 75 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: people differently than people see people. And in this case, 76 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: the people who don't look at people the correct way, 77 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: the way that God would are the Disciples. They're walking 78 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: down through Jerusalem and they see a man who is 79 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: not just blonde, but he was born blind. And they know, 80 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: without a shadow of a doubt, because of what they've 81 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: been taught by the religious leaders at the time, that 82 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: if this man was born blind, someone really screwed up, 83 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: someone sinned. Their only question is was that this man 84 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: or was it his parents? And Jesus says, no, wasn't 85 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: he the one? It was that the work of God 86 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: could be shown in him. And he calls the man over, 87 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: who hasn't asked for anything, who has probably never woken 88 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: up a day in his life, and thought, I wonder 89 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: if I'm going to be the first person I've ever 90 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: heard of born blind who getting his sight. But Jesus 91 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: calls him over, and he does something a little weird 92 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: and something a little gross. He spits on the ground, 93 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: He makes some mud, and he puts it on the 94 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: man's eyes, and he says, go to the pool of Saloam, 95 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: the pool that means literally scent. The man goes, he washes, 96 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: and he can see. Now, everyone at the time understood 97 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: that this was a miracle, but they didn't even understand 98 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: how big a miracle it was, which we get a 99 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: little more. So Jesus, somehow, with that mud, or with 100 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: that journey to the pool of Salom, not only fixed 101 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: whatever was wrong with a man's ocular system, his eyes, 102 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: his retina, whatever was wrong there. But because this man 103 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: has never ever, ever seen he would have to create 104 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: in him a vision system in his brain. He rewired 105 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: his brain somehow between wherever he was and the Pool 106 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: of Salom. Pretty big deal. Now we know where the 107 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: pool of Salom isologists have found it. If you go 108 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: to Jerusalem. Then if you go just outside of what 109 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: is now the old walls of Jerusalem, which are not 110 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: the walls from Jesus time, and you go just a 111 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: little south of the city of David, which is outside 112 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: those walls, you can find the pool of Salom. It 113 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: is connected to a spring via a tunnel built by 114 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: King Hezekiah mentioned in the Old Testament Hezekiah's tunnel that 115 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: he built when the Assyrians were besieging the city. So 116 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: we know where the man was sent to. We don't 117 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 1: know where he was sent from. But Jesus spent a 118 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: lot of time going from Bethany, the other side of 119 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: the Mount of Olives up to the Temple Mount, and 120 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: so probably they were along that road over there, and 121 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: Jesus sent this man across Jerusalem to get to this pool. 122 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: We don't know why it is convenient that the pool 123 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: is named sent I don't know if that's why he 124 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,719 Speaker 1: sent him there, But he sent him. The man had 125 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: to get cross country across the city with no white cane, 126 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: no guide dog. Those haven't been invented yet, so he 127 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: is either stumbling across town or asking for help from 128 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: strangers or friends or however. He finally gets to the pool, 129 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 1: he washes this gunk off his face, and he turns 130 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 1: to Jesus and no, wait, sorry, Jesus isn't there. When 131 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: the man is healed, he doesn't know where Jesus is, right, 132 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: he's cross town. This is an interesting story because the 133 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: pastor Ben wanted to be really kind to our lectures today, 134 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: and so we have twelve verses of the story that 135 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: John tells. John tells it in forty one verses, and 136 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: it's like watching one of your favorite episodes of your 137 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: drama that you'll watch. It's that guest episode where the 138 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: main character is there for two minutes at the beginning 139 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: and two minutes at the end, and the whole middle 140 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: part of it is all guest stars. That's the way 141 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: John tells this story. The whole middle part of this 142 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: story is people going, is that the man born blind? 143 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: I don't think that's the man born blind. This guy 144 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: clearly sees no I'm the man born blind. Well, what happened, Well, 145 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: Jesus spin on the ground, he made some mud. He 146 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: put it on my eyes. He sent me to the 147 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: pool of Saloam. I went I Washington. Now I see, 148 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 1: he said, Well, where is Jesus? He says, I don't know. 149 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: I have literally never seen the guy. Well, the Jewish 150 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: leaders call him in because, of course, Jesus did this 151 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: on the Sabbath, which is a lot of the tension 152 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: between him and the Jewish leaders. Now, just to be clear, 153 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: Jesus is allowed to spit on the ground, but as 154 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: soon as he mixed it up and made mud, he 155 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: was irrigating. I kid you not. They would see that 156 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: as a violation of the Sabbath, whether or not the 157 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: guy actually was healed. And so they call this guy 158 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: in and they say, what happened. He says, Jesus spin 159 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: on the ground, he made some muddy. He put it 160 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: on my eyes. He sent me the pool of sloam. 161 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: I went, I washed, And now I see. They have 162 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: a little trouble with his story. They've never heard of 163 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: anybody being born blind who can see again. So they 164 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: call his parents in and they say, is this your son? 165 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: They say, yes, he's our son. Was he born blind? 166 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: He was born blind? What happened? Will they dodge that 167 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: question because they have heard that if they give credit 168 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: to Jesus, they're going to get kicked out of the synagogue. 169 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: So they say, well, he's an adult, why don't you 170 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: ask him. So they turned to him and they say, 171 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: give glory to God, as we know this man, Jesus 172 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: is a sinner. And he says, I don't know about that. 173 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: What I know is Jesus spin on the ground. He 174 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: made some money, he put it on my eyes. He 175 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: sent me to the pool of saloam I went, I washed, 176 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: and now I see. They say, we don't even know 177 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: what this guy comes from, and he says, well, that's 178 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: interesting because we've never heard of anybody being born blind 179 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: who can see as a man born blind, that is 180 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: probably something that he was well aware of. He said 181 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: he could only do this if God was with him. 182 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: He is now up at the line about to cross 183 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 1: it here and they say again, well what happened. He's like, okay, 184 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: I have told you this story. Why do you want 185 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: to hear it again? And do you also want to 186 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: become his disciple? They don't take that well, they say, 187 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 1: how dare you try and teach us? You are clearly 188 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: a sinner because you are blind ish was used to be, 189 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: and they kick him out of the synagogue. And this 190 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: is the point where Jesus re enters the story in 191 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: John's account that last two minutes of the episode, and 192 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 1: Jesus here's the man who's been kicked out of the 193 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: synagogue and tracks him down and says, do you believe 194 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: in the son of Man? He says, I don't know. 195 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: I don't know who that is. And he says it 196 00:13:54,160 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: is I, and the man says, Lord, I believe this story, 197 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: like the story of David, isn't just a healing story. 198 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: This is a calling story. This man has become, as 199 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: he told the religious leaders, a disciple of Jesus. And 200 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: then Jesus says, I have come so that those who 201 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: are blind can see, and those who see may be 202 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: made blind. And the Pharisees understand that he is talking 203 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: about them, and they are none too happy. But they 204 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: were blind to the situation, as were the disciples, as 205 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: was Samuel when he's looking at the tall, good looking 206 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: son and saying, this guy looks like a king. They 207 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: weren't seeing the situation the way God sees the situation, 208 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: LUs we pick on them. We sometimes have the same 209 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: problem when we're choosing leaders. We sometimes choose people who 210 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: we think look like leaders to be a manager, or 211 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: a CEO or even a president, and we don't pay 212 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: attention to their heart. We don't see as God sees. 213 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: And when we're walking down the street and we see someone, 214 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: sometimes we are sure, we are convinced that we know 215 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: their story, how it started, and how it will end, 216 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: and we fail to see the child of God, loved 217 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: by God and called to be a disciple. So I 218 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: pray that this week we would see the world with 219 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: the eyes of God, see those the hearts of those 220 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: around us, and see those who are called and loved 221 00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: by God, not limited to but including us. Amen. I 222 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: want to take just a second to thank the team 223 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: at Life Audio for their partnership with us on this podcast. 224 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: If you go to lifeaudio dot com, you'll find dozens 225 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: of other faith centered podcasts in their network.
