Look at this story. This is post resurrection. 38 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 2: This is after the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He appeared 39 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: seven times after he was crucified, on seven different occasions, 40 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 2: over a span of forty days, to over six hundred 41 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: people in all. He showed himself alive with infallible proof. 42 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 2: And this is one of the seven times that Jesus appears. 43 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: He cooked a breakfast for his disciples who had gone 44 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 2: back to fishing, and verse twenty, Verse eighteen says, most assuredly, 45 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 2: I say under you, now, if I had time, I 46 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 2: would back up and tell you that. 47 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: He questions Simon Peter, and he says, do you love me? 48 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: Do you love me? Do you love me? Three times? 49 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: And three times he says, I love you. Lord. 50 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 2: Then he says in verse sixteen, if you love me, 51 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 2: feed my sheep. And then in verse eighteen, most assuredly, 52 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 2: I say to you, speaking to Simon Peter, this is Jesus' words. 53 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: When you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where 54 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: you wished. But when you are old, you will stretch 55 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 2: out your hands and another will gird you, will tie 56 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 2: you up, and will carry. 57 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: You where you do not wish. 58 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 2: Then this he spoke, signifying by what death he Simon 59 00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 2: Peter would glory fi God sign to him about his death. 60 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 2: Watch this. And when he had spoken this, he said 61 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 2: to him, everybody say these words, big and bold. 62 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: Follow me. 63 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: Then Peter, turning, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved, following, 64 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 2: who also had leaned on his breast at the supper, 65 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 2: and said, Lord, who is the one who betrays you? 66 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 2: And Peter, seeing him, seeing who seeing John, said to Jesus, 67 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 2: but Lord, what about him? Jesus said to him, if 68 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: I will that he remained till I come. 69 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: What is that to you? You follow me? 70 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 2: When Jesus gives no explanation, just an invitation follow me. 71 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 2: It's after the resurrection. Jesus is meeting with three of 72 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: his disciples on this appearance, as he often did with 73 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 2: these three, Peter, James, and John, and John being the 74 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 2: disciple whom Jesus loved. 75 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: I don't understand. I don't know. 76 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 2: You can say what you want to say. The scripture 77 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: is very clear. He often pulled these three. 78 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: Aside from the other disciples. 79 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 2: He often shared things and insights and teachings with them 80 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: that he did not share with the others. And he asked, Simon, 81 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 2: do you love me? Do you love me? Do you 82 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: love me? He said, yes, I do. Then he said, 83 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 2: then feed my sheep. Do want I put you on 84 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 2: this earth to do? Take the word and feed the sheep. 85 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 2: And he said, but when you grow old, they're going 86 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 2: to tie your hands and they're going to lead you 87 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 2: where you don't want to go, down a path that 88 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 2: you would never choose to go down. He would literally 89 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 2: be crucified upside down. He would request to be crucified 90 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 2: upside down because he said, I'm not worthy to be 91 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 2: crucified like my savior. And Jesus said, when they lead 92 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 2: you that way, you follow me? And in this young 93 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 2: version of himself, he said, there's coming to day. 94 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: You're young now, but you'll be old when this happens. 95 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 2: And Peter said, when he saw standing in the same 96 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 2: place the disciple whom Jesus loved, he was kind of 97 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 2: had a little You can hear a little kickback on 98 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 2: this as he's saying, this is unfair. You're not treating 99 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 2: me like you treat your favorite right there, the one 100 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 2: that whom you love. What about him? Why do I 101 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 2: have to suffer? Why do I have to go through this? 102 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 2: Why do I have to die like that? What about him? 103 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: And one of the sarnest rebukes that you'll ever read 104 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: in the scripture Jesus world around, and he said, what 105 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 2: is it to you. 106 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: How I deal with him? 107 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 2: I have a plan for your life and I have 108 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 2: a plan for his life. 109 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: And here's the key, he said, when. 110 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 2: You go down this path of following me, you will 111 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 2: glorify me. Did you catch that? When you die, you 112 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 2: will glorif I me. It's not about you. Your life 113 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 2: is not your own anymore. You surrendered to me. Now 114 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 2: follow me. And if in that following I lead you 115 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 2: in a path that is not what you thought you 116 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 2: would go. 117 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: You just know that when you're doing that. 118 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 2: Did you read it in that verse that I read, 119 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 2: he said you will die a death that will glory 120 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 2: fie me. Why didn't that disciple get the same direction 121 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: that I got? 122 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: Was what Simon Peter was asking. 123 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: Anytime you get your eyes off of Jesus and you 124 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 2: get your eyes on other people and what you're going 125 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 2: through compared to what they're going through, you are missing 126 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 2: the plan. 127 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: Of God for your life. 128 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: Equality cannot be transferred in the Kingdom of God. You 129 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 2: cannot say, well, God, if you love me and you 130 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 2: love them, then you will bless us all the same. 131 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 2: God says, I don't do that. I have a plan 132 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 2: for them. I have a plan for you. All that 133 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 2: live godly in Christ will suffer, and they'll go through things. 134 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 2: They'll go through trials that it reigns on the just 135 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 2: and the unjust, and nothing's going to change that. In 136 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 2: this life you will have tribulation. And just because their 137 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 2: life looks perfect right now and yours doesn't, he says, 138 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 2: don't you say well, what about them? And why am 139 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 2: I going through all of this? And I don't deserve it? 140 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 2: And look at them, and everything is blessed and in 141 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 2: order and perfect in their life. 142 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: He has a. 143 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 2: Plan for you, and it may not be as glorious 144 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 2: as what it looks like he's doing in somebody else's 145 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 2: life right now. 146 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 1: And I just want to throw this in. 147 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 2: Sometimes, when you're going through stuff and you look at 148 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 2: people and their life looks picture perfect, you. 149 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: Don't know what's behind the curtain. 150 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 2: You don't know what they're going through that is unspeakable. 151 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: You don't know that their life. 152 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 2: Could not somehow be ten times worse than anything you're 153 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 2: facing yourself. And that's why Jesus said, that is none 154 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 2: of your business how that person's life is going. I 155 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 2: want you to know that where you are right now, 156 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 2: I am with you, and I want you to follow 157 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 2: me and wherever I lead you, if it's into the valley, 158 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 2: if it's in the tears, if it's in the trial, 159 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 2: if it's into suffering, I want you to trust me 160 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: and follow me and quit doing this. 161 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: Thing of what about him?

My notes are a mess, 270 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 2: but they really speak to me. I remember moments and 271 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 2: the voice of the Lord, not in an audible way, 272 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 2: but just I don't know how to describe it. 273 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 1: When the enlightenment comes, it's there. 274 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 2: And I wrote down these words, how can I be 275 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 2: the pastor? 276 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: I wrote up under it?

He had served his purpose. And 365 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 2: God said, I'll be glorified. And here's a man in 366 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 2: the same cell. Less than twenty four hours later, God 367 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 2: sends an angel, opens the door, chains fall off, He 368 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 2: walks out, goes to Rhoda's house, knocks on the door. 369 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 2: They're having a prayer meeting for him, and he says, 370 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 2: I'm free.

You can't play that game. You can't do that. 378 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 2: Faith says, I'll follow you if it's to death or 379 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 2: if it's to a miracle.

One of them and his sister. 531 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 2: They rolled her in, Jojo, who was having her six 532 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 2: child and had major complications and they didn't think she 533 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 2: would live. But she is crippled up in a wheelchair, 534 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 2: her arms folded, her legs feeble, and. 535 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: She can't speak. She can't. 536 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 2: And I watched his dad back there after the production 537 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 2: had made an arrangement right over here and make it 538 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 2: easy for her to meet over there with some annoying 539 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 2: ail and Jonathan and some of the family, and we anointed. 540 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 1: Jojo with Aille and I watched your father, your father. 541 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 2: I watched him and the thought hit me. He's smiling. 542 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:34,760 Speaker 2: He has faith still after you don't understand the months 543 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 2: and months and months. 544 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 1: And the care that you know. 545 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 2: It's one thing to hear a story. Then there's the 546 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 2: daily care.
