1 00:00:00,050 --> 00:00:00,510 Today. 2 00:00:00,510 --> 00:00:02,489 Uh, it's such a special day. 3 00:00:03,559 --> 00:00:08,969 We get to be together as a north to celebrate God, to celebrate 4 00:00:08,969 --> 00:00:10,639 the faithfulness of God. 5 00:00:11,569 --> 00:00:12,799 I love when we're together. 6 00:00:12,799 --> 00:00:16,039 I love hearing us sing to God in both languages. 7 00:00:19,089 --> 00:00:25,420 It's such an important thing to God for people to hear the good 8 00:00:25,420 --> 00:00:28,420 news in their native language. 9 00:00:30,074 --> 00:00:38,234 In Acts chapter two, as the first message of the resurrected Lord is preached, 10 00:00:39,375 --> 00:00:46,614 it was important for the Holy Spirit to communicate that message in all languages. 11 00:00:48,704 --> 00:00:56,724 In fact, the reason the people run to the apostles, it says there, we hear 12 00:00:56,724 --> 00:00:59,434 you declaring the wonders of God. 13 00:01:00,404 --> 00:01:02,965 In our native language. 14 00:01:03,994 --> 00:01:08,154 And so today we participate in those values of God. 15 00:01:09,624 --> 00:01:14,524 Not to communicate language through a translation device. 16 00:01:15,484 --> 00:01:17,764 Though there's time in a season for that. 17 00:01:20,094 --> 00:01:27,524 But to instead to celebrate language publicly as God does. 18 00:01:27,944 --> 00:01:28,484 Amen. 19 00:01:29,110 --> 00:01:35,460 It's a special day because we can celebrate the values of God, the values 20 00:01:35,460 --> 00:01:41,358 of language, the importance of being able to transmit the language to God. 21 00:01:41,358 --> 00:01:46,348 Most of us are bilingual, whether we accept it or not. 22 00:01:46,348 --> 00:01:53,152 But it's different when you have to speak things from the heart and deep down. 23 00:01:53,152 --> 00:01:55,420 You get the Spanish, right? 24 00:01:55,420 --> 00:01:59,049 Today we're going to be talking about God's 25 00:02:03,279 --> 00:02:06,699 God's desires in the Spanish ministry. 26 00:02:06,699 --> 00:02:11,369 We've been in the Gospel of John, uh, for the last six months. 27 00:02:27,559 --> 00:02:30,109 You know, one of the themes in the gospel of John is for 28 00:02:30,109 --> 00:02:32,779 us to be able to fully grasp. 29 00:02:36,369 --> 00:02:46,589 The desires of God and the gospel of John desires are very important, 30 00:02:49,929 --> 00:02:55,809 maybe more than actions because if you have the right desires, 31 00:02:55,839 --> 00:02:58,259 the actions fall into place. 32 00:03:03,359 --> 00:03:10,909 And so we, we're going to see today the desires of God in the gospel of John. 33 00:03:12,210 --> 00:03:13,509 a sales that he owes. 34 00:03:13,924 --> 00:03:14,795 In Ellio, 35 00:03:17,804 --> 00:03:23,614 the gospel of John is full of all of this beautiful imagery and it's very 36 00:03:23,614 --> 00:03:25,684 different than all the other gospels. 37 00:03:26,465 --> 00:03:28,414 Can we dive deep for here for a little bit? 38 00:03:31,234 --> 00:03:37,795 In the other gut three gospels, it is revealed who Jesus is towards 39 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,734 the end of the gospel at the cross. 40 00:03:41,664 --> 00:03:42,864 There's aha moments. 41 00:03:43,675 --> 00:03:45,244 Surely this is the son of God. 42 00:03:46,859 --> 00:03:50,889 In resurrection, eyes are opened, minds are open. 43 00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:55,339 It's revealed who Jesus was all along. 44 00:03:57,319 --> 00:04:03,359 But in the gospel of John, there is no mystery to who Jesus is. 45 00:04:04,689 --> 00:04:11,599 Because in chapter 1, it tells us explicitly who Jesus is. 46 00:04:12,474 --> 00:04:17,173 The work of the gospel of John for us as readers, as an audience, as 47 00:04:17,184 --> 00:04:25,154 followers, as believers, is for us to walk with Jesus, us knowing who Jesus is. 48 00:04:26,505 --> 00:04:33,304 And as people interact with Jesus, they'll either respond to Jesus or reject Jesus. 49 00:04:34,044 --> 00:04:39,174 And they become examples for us, models. 50 00:04:39,414 --> 00:04:40,674 Are we rejecting? 51 00:04:41,664 --> 00:04:49,694 Jesus, the way this person rejected Jesus, am I recognizing and accepting Jesus 52 00:04:49,704 --> 00:04:52,414 the way this person is accepting Jesus? 53 00:04:52,414 --> 00:05:01,354 And so we have this beautiful journey that helps us tune into God's desires. 54 00:05:02,454 --> 00:05:02,684 Amen. 55 00:05:02,685 --> 00:05:09,324 Como hemos hablado en el mundo de Juan, vemos como los deseos son tan importantes. 56 00:05:09,375 --> 00:05:13,119 Desde el principio sabemos quien es Jesus. 57 00:05:15,419 --> 00:05:15,629 He thought of DC. 58 00:05:15,829 --> 00:05:24,339 Como responde, uh, another thing that is really obvious in the 59 00:05:24,339 --> 00:05:32,839 gospel of John is that every time a person or a group interact with 60 00:05:32,849 --> 00:05:36,349 Jesus, two things are revealed. 61 00:05:36,369 --> 00:05:42,199 One, that person in that group already has faith and Jesus 62 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,599 doesn't condemn that faith. 63 00:05:45,754 --> 00:05:53,644 Jesus meets them where they're at and then calls them to the faith that God desires. 64 00:05:54,924 --> 00:05:59,335 So we see a Jesus that's not walking around just proving people wrong. 65 00:06:00,875 --> 00:06:04,645 We see a Jesus who's walking around meeting people where they're at. 66 00:06:06,484 --> 00:06:12,724 Explaining, teaching, persuading, demonstrating that the faith they 67 00:06:12,724 --> 00:06:17,125 have is good but not complete. 68 00:06:19,304 --> 00:06:20,684 And so they have to choose. 69 00:06:20,684 --> 00:06:28,414 Do I keep the faith that I have my values, my traditions, or do I 70 00:06:28,944 --> 00:06:31,354 take the faith that Jesus desires? 71 00:06:31,884 --> 00:06:33,174 Are you with me right here? 72 00:06:33,504 --> 00:06:34,914 Can you think of an examples? 73 00:06:36,274 --> 00:06:40,314 Like the Samaritan woman doesn't condemn her faith. 74 00:06:41,304 --> 00:06:45,134 As you guys believe in this mountain worship really is coming from this 75 00:06:45,134 --> 00:06:48,424 mountain, but there's a third mountain. 76 00:06:50,005 --> 00:06:54,914 And so he's constantly moving people into the faith that God desires. 77 00:06:55,244 --> 00:06:56,835 Is that not true about us? 78 00:06:57,183 --> 00:07:03,024 Is God not constantly at work in our lives, trying to move us from 79 00:07:03,024 --> 00:07:10,194 assumptions and labels, from numbness and religiosity, into a living 80 00:07:10,194 --> 00:07:12,984 relationship with the living, present God? 81 00:07:14,384 --> 00:07:16,984 So in many ways, we're living out the Gospel of John. 82 00:07:38,659 --> 00:07:39,009 Jesus. 83 00:07:42,179 --> 00:07:46,349 So what we're gonna do right now is gonna do a quick run through of. 84 00:07:47,294 --> 00:07:50,774 Some themes of God's desires in the Gospel of John 85 00:08:03,384 --> 00:08:03,964 I, Juan, 86 00:08:07,884 --> 00:08:11,984 sorry, this should be John one verse, uh, 38. 87 00:08:14,524 --> 00:08:14,734 Jesus. 88 00:08:27,639 --> 00:08:28,759 It's actually John chapter one. 89 00:08:28,759 --> 00:08:34,188 The first question that Jesus asked in the gospel of John is, what do you want? 90 00:08:35,469 --> 00:08:37,380 In Spanish is que buscas? 91 00:08:40,318 --> 00:08:41,179 What do you want? 92 00:08:41,188 --> 00:08:44,460 The literal translation is que quieres? 93 00:08:44,750 --> 00:08:47,529 Sounds rude in Spanish. 94 00:08:48,949 --> 00:08:53,519 The literal translation of que buscas in English is, what are you looking for? 95 00:08:56,460 --> 00:08:58,739 So, what do you want can sound rude. 96 00:08:59,309 --> 00:09:02,019 There's a lot of negative association with that question. 97 00:09:02,130 --> 00:09:02,509 What do you want? 98 00:09:02,710 --> 00:09:02,779 Can 99 00:09:06,549 --> 00:09:07,969 you try to make that sound nice? 100 00:09:08,179 --> 00:09:08,989 What do you want? 101 00:09:10,649 --> 00:09:11,389 What do you want? 102 00:09:12,449 --> 00:09:16,139 It just sounds rude and cold, right? 103 00:09:17,569 --> 00:09:25,239 We can ask it in Spanish, que buscas, que buscas, what are you looking for? 104 00:09:27,770 --> 00:09:30,049 Another theme in the Gospel of John. 105 00:09:31,194 --> 00:09:34,045 Is the tone of Jesus's words. 106 00:09:36,045 --> 00:09:39,184 You see, all of our life growing up in church. 107 00:09:40,334 --> 00:09:42,385 And I'm at fault as a preacher. 108 00:09:43,024 --> 00:09:47,454 We have projected our tone to Jesus. 109 00:09:49,764 --> 00:09:54,754 And so we at sometimes can have an irritated, impatient 110 00:09:55,364 --> 00:09:58,165 tone that we give to the Lord. 111 00:10:00,219 --> 00:10:03,549 But if we're able to erase all of that and allow ourselves to 112 00:10:03,549 --> 00:10:07,479 read and wonder, I wonder what was the tone when he said this. 113 00:10:09,010 --> 00:10:14,350 Because we hear Gospel of John quoted, I am the truth, the, in kind of a prideful, 114 00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:17,709 arrogant, debate mode sort of tone. 115 00:10:18,429 --> 00:10:22,829 But when you read it in the context, it was a different kind of tone. 116 00:10:24,129 --> 00:10:25,930 It was a tone of invitation. 117 00:10:26,799 --> 00:10:28,359 It was a tone of compassion. 118 00:10:30,004 --> 00:10:31,774 It was a tone of connection, 119 00:10:35,204 --> 00:10:40,034 and so the gospel of John should, if we read it, well, recover for us. 120 00:10:40,304 --> 00:10:43,454 God's desires and God's tone. 121 00:10:51,864 --> 00:10:52,215 Jesus. 122 00:10:59,545 --> 00:11:00,024 Jesus. 123 00:11:01,514 --> 00:11:01,864 Jesus. 124 00:11:12,034 --> 00:11:15,484 And this is important because sometimes we can pass that on to our children. 125 00:11:17,694 --> 00:11:27,715 A God that just wants you to obey, submit, trust, surrender, 126 00:11:29,814 --> 00:11:34,334 behave, , and yet we see. 127 00:11:34,989 --> 00:11:39,479 Jesus being okay with people not getting it, but he's going 128 00:11:39,479 --> 00:11:40,750 to come back around again. 129 00:11:43,529 --> 00:11:47,689 Vemos al Jesús que cuando la gente no lo entiende, él se va. 130 00:11:47,690 --> 00:11:54,590 No rechazando, pero dándole un espacio porque va a regresar otra vez. 131 00:11:54,590 --> 00:11:57,869 Let's go to the next slide. 132 00:11:57,869 --> 00:11:57,899 So that was 133 00:12:02,609 --> 00:12:03,619 the first question. 134 00:12:03,629 --> 00:12:06,239 Esa fue la primera pregunta que buscas. 135 00:12:07,889 --> 00:12:08,969 What are you looking for? 136 00:12:10,135 --> 00:12:12,504 And if we go to the end of the gospel of John, 137 00:12:16,224 --> 00:12:20,064 there's another question, and the question is, do you love me? 138 00:12:22,174 --> 00:12:26,344 There's over 52 questions that Jesus asked in the gospel that 139 00:12:26,349 --> 00:12:27,524 is asking in the Gospel of John. 140 00:12:33,364 --> 00:12:40,554 Those are all intentional questions written in order. 141 00:12:41,154 --> 00:12:42,665 To communicate something. 142 00:12:43,564 --> 00:12:44,924 All these questions are intentional. 143 00:12:44,924 --> 00:12:45,975 In order, in consequence. 144 00:12:47,545 --> 00:12:48,725 To communicate something. 145 00:12:48,725 --> 00:12:49,795 Can we go to the next slide? 146 00:12:51,004 --> 00:12:53,114 We see from first creation. 147 00:12:55,684 --> 00:12:56,584 What are you looking for? 148 00:12:56,584 --> 00:12:57,752 The first creation. 149 00:12:57,752 --> 00:13:01,241 What are you looking for? 150 00:13:01,241 --> 00:13:02,637 Post resurrection. 151 00:13:02,637 --> 00:13:04,715 New creation. 152 00:13:06,514 --> 00:13:07,574 Do you love me? 153 00:13:10,994 --> 00:13:14,004 So in some ways, Jesus is asking in the first question. 154 00:13:17,625 --> 00:13:18,404 Do you love me? 155 00:13:18,644 --> 00:13:20,234 Or what do you love? 156 00:13:22,125 --> 00:13:24,404 Because what you love is who you are. 157 00:13:25,604 --> 00:13:28,334 What you desire is who you are. 158 00:13:31,375 --> 00:13:33,744 Now, the great thing, if the desires aren't lined up with 159 00:13:33,744 --> 00:13:38,334 God, the Gospel of John should be forming and lining up your desires. 160 00:13:57,054 --> 00:13:58,964 So what are you looking for? 161 00:14:00,224 --> 00:14:01,204 Do you love me? 162 00:14:04,174 --> 00:14:12,994 But in between those two questions, there's a consistent encounter 163 00:14:12,994 --> 00:14:19,514 with people and groups to help us have the desires that God has. 164 00:14:33,404 --> 00:14:38,004 So right now you and I we're in between these two questions, 165 00:14:44,204 --> 00:14:52,174 and so the first question sh displays that God actually cares what we desire. 166 00:14:53,939 --> 00:14:58,959 He's interested in what we desire. 167 00:14:59,779 --> 00:15:02,969 And so there's a posture here where Jesus says, Hey, they're 168 00:15:02,969 --> 00:15:03,859 like, where are you staying? 169 00:15:03,859 --> 00:15:05,899 They're like, come to my place. 170 00:15:07,029 --> 00:15:08,689 And they stayed there the whole day. 171 00:15:09,849 --> 00:15:13,719 And they probably sat down and just connected. 172 00:15:15,329 --> 00:15:18,019 Probably symbolic that it says that day they stayed with him. 173 00:15:18,539 --> 00:15:20,669 Probably means that's the beginning of their belief. 174 00:15:28,250 --> 00:15:29,609 So God is interested. 175 00:15:29,639 --> 00:15:30,439 What do you want? 176 00:15:30,439 --> 00:15:32,859 What are you feeling? 177 00:15:33,099 --> 00:15:34,179 What do you care for? 178 00:15:34,479 --> 00:15:35,449 What do you desire? 179 00:15:38,189 --> 00:15:44,389 So whether we believe or not fully yet, we can all understand and agree. 180 00:15:44,919 --> 00:15:50,409 There's a God who meets us where we're at and invites us 181 00:15:50,889 --> 00:15:52,819 to be part of the relationship. 182 00:15:54,574 --> 00:16:01,034 He doesn't say you need to believe this or else better think about it. 183 00:16:02,274 --> 00:16:03,344 Life ain't forever. 184 00:16:03,604 --> 00:16:04,654 That's not his tone. 185 00:16:06,944 --> 00:16:08,484 You want is such a profound quote. 186 00:16:08,484 --> 00:16:09,494 What do you desire? 187 00:16:13,174 --> 00:16:13,374 Jesus asks what 188 00:16:21,124 --> 00:16:21,214 do you desire? 189 00:16:21,214 --> 00:16:21,304 Take your time. 190 00:16:21,305 --> 00:16:26,134 Show us the respect that God has for us. 191 00:16:26,135 --> 00:16:27,184 That he includes us in the 192 00:16:37,739 --> 00:16:39,099 And then he walks with these guys. 193 00:16:40,789 --> 00:16:48,169 Once he's raised from the dead, he sits with them again, talks to Peter 194 00:16:48,169 --> 00:16:49,909 specifically, but they're all listening. 195 00:16:51,639 --> 00:16:52,519 Do you love me? 196 00:16:55,379 --> 00:16:56,569 There wasn't a command. 197 00:16:56,579 --> 00:16:57,749 There was a question. 198 00:16:59,159 --> 00:17:00,729 He didn't give them a commission. 199 00:17:00,799 --> 00:17:02,189 He gave them an invitation. 200 00:17:03,954 --> 00:17:09,034 Are you, are we going to have a relationship for 201 00:17:09,034 --> 00:17:10,654 the rest of our time here? 202 00:17:12,125 --> 00:17:17,574 And I find that beautiful because now Peter can answer that question, 203 00:17:18,394 --> 00:17:23,434 not based on some abstract belief, but on the actual encounters and 204 00:17:23,444 --> 00:17:25,763 relationships and teachings and life. 205 00:17:26,013 --> 00:17:28,305 An example of Jesus. 206 00:17:28,550 --> 00:17:36,613 Pedro can now answer that question, not based on a doctrine, but based on the 207 00:17:36,613 --> 00:17:41,989 interactions, teachings, examples, and relationships he has had with Jesus. 208 00:17:41,989 --> 00:17:48,489 So we find in John the intentional, the intentionality 209 00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:55,619 of God, who, pre resurrection, is asking profound questions. 210 00:17:56,839 --> 00:17:58,279 Post resurrection. 211 00:17:59,144 --> 00:18:03,424 Is asking profound questions, and so now they have all the information they need 212 00:18:03,424 --> 00:18:07,434 to, to be able to answer that question. 213 00:18:08,545 --> 00:18:10,705 El Dios que nos pregunta 214 00:18:15,374 --> 00:18:18,234 antes de resurrección, una pregunta de muy, profunda. 215 00:18:19,024 --> 00:18:20,034 And that's beautiful. 216 00:18:21,404 --> 00:18:25,224 Now we're in John chapter 3, let's, let's run through some of these things. 217 00:18:26,229 --> 00:18:29,439 For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, 218 00:18:29,439 --> 00:18:33,819 but to save the world through him. 219 00:18:56,139 --> 00:18:56,219 Em. 220 00:19:00,784 --> 00:19:04,274 One of the most quoted scriptures in the world, but often quoted 221 00:19:04,274 --> 00:19:08,455 with a condemnation tone with a, with a threat kind of tone. 222 00:19:09,844 --> 00:19:11,074 There's no threat here. 223 00:19:11,824 --> 00:19:12,885 There's an invitation. 224 00:19:13,524 --> 00:19:17,954 And so from the beginning, Gospel of John is clearly showing us that God 225 00:19:17,974 --> 00:19:20,025 desires salvation, not condemnation. 226 00:19:20,025 --> 00:19:27,764 Desde el principio vemos el deseo de Dios, que desea salvación, no condenación. 227 00:19:29,044 --> 00:19:36,534 We go to the next slide in John chapter 10, Jesus says this, the reason the 228 00:19:36,534 --> 00:19:41,764 father loves me is that I laid down my life only to take it up again. 229 00:19:42,274 --> 00:19:47,634 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own accord. 230 00:19:47,674 --> 00:19:51,494 I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. 231 00:19:52,215 --> 00:19:56,544 This command I receive from my father. 232 00:19:57,484 --> 00:19:58,684 What desires? 233 00:20:00,494 --> 00:20:03,334 Are displayed here. 234 00:20:03,545 --> 00:20:07,144 What desires are communicated here? 235 00:20:08,744 --> 00:20:09,094 Jesus. 236 00:20:29,250 --> 00:20:37,520 Another unique thing focused in the Gospel of John that's connected to 237 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:47,800 desires is that in the Gospel of John, no one, as Jesus says, takes his life. 238 00:20:49,930 --> 00:20:57,350 So the dominant image for us of Jesus taking the cross is Matthew 26. 239 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:04,600 Beautiful passage has meant so much to so many of us, and the Bible is 240 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:05,920 not comparing which one's better. 241 00:21:05,930 --> 00:21:08,450 It's just giving us different angles of the cross. 242 00:21:08,490 --> 00:21:09,550 You with me right here? 243 00:21:10,620 --> 00:21:13,350 That's hard for us to think, because we think this is right, this is wrong. 244 00:21:13,750 --> 00:21:14,430 There's only two. 245 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:16,920 There's four Gospels for a reason. 246 00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:20,750 There's different, beautiful dynamics of the cross. 247 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,870 But this is important, because we're going to need the Garnered Gethsemane 248 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,010 image, but we also need this image. 249 00:21:30,105 --> 00:21:37,795 Where the desire of Jesus is to take the cross is to give of God's 250 00:21:37,895 --> 00:21:44,045 self for the salvation of the world in the gospel of John, there's no 251 00:21:44,045 --> 00:21:46,125 obligation of you guys messed up. 252 00:21:46,125 --> 00:21:46,595 All right, I got it. 253 00:21:46,595 --> 00:21:49,365 I guess I got to go there to save you. 254 00:21:50,395 --> 00:21:51,775 How can we feel that about God? 255 00:21:51,775 --> 00:21:56,935 Sometimes he came out of irritation and necessity. 256 00:21:57,950 --> 00:22:04,360 But John is saying, I came because I desire connection and salvation. 257 00:22:05,940 --> 00:22:09,200 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not recognize him. 258 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,340 Yet God does not give up. 259 00:22:10,340 --> 00:22:10,830 He keeps going. 260 00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:11,070 Vemos 261 00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:19,349 aquí una imagen de un Dios que desea salvación. 262 00:22:19,350 --> 00:22:25,070 La imagen dominante de la cruz es el garden de Getsenami nos ha 263 00:22:25,070 --> 00:22:31,620 conmovido, que lo necesitamos, pero también tenemos que hacer espacio 264 00:22:35,050 --> 00:22:36,659 para esta imagen. 265 00:22:36,660 --> 00:22:44,740 Del Jesús obligado o forzado, pero que desea tomar la cruz para salvar el mundo. 266 00:22:47,530 --> 00:22:48,379 Another image. 267 00:22:53,010 --> 00:22:53,340 Spanish 268 00:23:10,420 --> 00:23:12,790 Ismo, Ernesto, 269 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:16,550 Jesus. 270 00:23:20,740 --> 00:23:22,930 So he says, here's when I am lifted up from the earth. 271 00:23:22,930 --> 00:23:25,990 I will draw all people to myself. 272 00:23:25,990 --> 00:23:29,470 He said this to show the kind of death he was going to die. 273 00:23:33,310 --> 00:23:36,340 You see the desires of God here. 274 00:23:48,690 --> 00:23:52,140 God is contrasting the desires of the prince of this world. 275 00:23:52,615 --> 00:23:59,205 With God's own desires, the desires of the prince, Los deseos del príncipe 276 00:23:59,205 --> 00:24:02,765 de este mundo es que consumir. 277 00:24:06,805 --> 00:24:15,395 The desires of the prince of this world is to consume, to steal, kill, destroy. 278 00:24:16,755 --> 00:24:21,015 No grace, no mercy, all condemnation. 279 00:24:21,025 --> 00:24:21,045 So 280 00:24:25,635 --> 00:24:27,235 the prince is driven out. 281 00:24:29,790 --> 00:24:32,730 Not by being condemned, but by God's love. 282 00:24:35,930 --> 00:24:41,780 So now we have the prince who consumes and the God who gives of God's self. 283 00:24:43,329 --> 00:24:48,499 We have the selfishness and greed of the prince and the generosity, the 284 00:24:48,619 --> 00:24:52,580 sacrifice, the sacrificial love of God. 285 00:24:53,670 --> 00:24:58,970 We see this contrast of the prince who consumes, and rob. 286 00:25:07,435 --> 00:25:15,004 And so this is important for us, because I think our Christianity, I 287 00:25:15,005 --> 00:25:19,074 think God's doing something all over the world, all over Christian churches. 288 00:25:20,855 --> 00:25:30,075 I think one of those things is that he is healing for us incomplete images of God 289 00:25:33,135 --> 00:25:34,714 out of two tones. 290 00:25:36,095 --> 00:25:43,225 With a healthier image of God, with a clear voice and tone of God. 291 00:25:53,125 --> 00:25:58,965 And so we see here, we hear the desire of Jesus. 292 00:25:59,325 --> 00:26:01,605 That's not upset because of your sin. 293 00:26:02,460 --> 00:26:06,190 We don't hear the father upset because of your sin. 294 00:26:06,940 --> 00:26:12,729 We hear the father desiring salvation, drawing people to a 295 00:26:12,739 --> 00:26:20,410 new way of self emptying love 296 00:26:23,820 --> 00:26:28,450 and you're asking us to beat that not consume me, but I'll 297 00:26:28,450 --> 00:26:32,930 participate in my VEDA, the US. 298 00:26:33,170 --> 00:26:34,260 Let's go to the next slide. 299 00:26:35,695 --> 00:26:40,135 So we come to the cross La Cruz, and we'll take commun in a second. 300 00:26:41,485 --> 00:26:44,245 And so Jesus is here at the cross. 301 00:26:44,245 --> 00:26:45,835 Jesus La Cruz. 302 00:26:46,495 --> 00:26:46,825 Yes. 303 00:26:46,825 --> 00:26:47,785 He's in pain. 304 00:26:47,995 --> 00:26:49,525 Yes, he's in agony. 305 00:26:50,335 --> 00:26:53,875 John doesn't get into that context cuz he's telling you something that he 306 00:26:53,875 --> 00:26:56,305 wants you to hear in a very clear way. 307 00:27:04,420 --> 00:27:10,910 And so, as Jesus is on the cross, Jesus is described fully aware, 308 00:27:11,530 --> 00:27:15,749 fully in control, because no one takes his life, he gives it up. 309 00:27:18,180 --> 00:27:23,431 Jesus is described fully aware, fully in control, because no one 310 00:27:23,431 --> 00:27:27,029 takes his life, he gives it up. 311 00:27:27,310 --> 00:27:29,950 And so, it says, later, knowing that everything had now been 312 00:27:29,950 --> 00:27:35,460 finished, and so that scripture will be fulfilled, Jesus said, I am. 313 00:27:35,895 --> 00:27:36,485 Thirsty. 314 00:27:36,485 --> 00:27:40,495 Después de esto, como Jesús sabía que ya todo había terminado 315 00:27:40,495 --> 00:27:45,285 y para que se cumplieran las escrituras, dijo, Tengo sed. 316 00:27:48,095 --> 00:27:51,185 So we've said God's desires and then our desires. 317 00:27:51,185 --> 00:27:53,525 Hemos dicho los deseos de Dios y nuestros deseos. 318 00:27:55,415 --> 00:27:58,825 It's easy to say, well, that's our God's desires, I mean, I'm just human. 319 00:28:00,295 --> 00:28:03,275 Es fácil decir, deseos de Dios, yo solo soy humano. 320 00:28:05,525 --> 00:28:08,615 But we also see the humanity of Jesus. 321 00:28:12,195 --> 00:28:19,025 Jesus, which tells us something more about God's desires, that He desires so much. 322 00:28:19,145 --> 00:28:20,465 There's an incarnation. 323 00:28:20,465 --> 00:28:22,355 There's becoming one of us, 324 00:28:29,155 --> 00:28:36,145 and so here at the cross in the weakness point, we are described the human 325 00:28:36,565 --> 00:28:38,246 parts, the human qualities of Jesus. 326 00:28:42,940 --> 00:28:44,020 What does he say? 327 00:28:44,940 --> 00:28:45,660 That's human. 328 00:28:47,260 --> 00:28:47,870 I'm thirsty. 329 00:28:49,329 --> 00:28:50,170 Tengo sed. 330 00:28:52,109 --> 00:28:54,729 Some of us are thirsty right now because we just had too much coffee. 331 00:28:55,940 --> 00:28:56,730 Time for water. 332 00:29:04,110 --> 00:29:07,940 Earlier in John chapter four, he says, I am the living water. 333 00:29:09,650 --> 00:29:10,020 I'll be a dictionary. 334 00:29:10,310 --> 00:29:10,650 Juan Cuatro. 335 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,410 Yo soy el Agua Viva. 336 00:29:12,410 --> 00:29:15,960 Y ahora, and now he's saying, I am thirsty. 337 00:29:16,020 --> 00:29:17,389 Now he's out. 338 00:29:17,390 --> 00:29:19,860 I stay saying that they go said, so which is it? 339 00:29:19,890 --> 00:29:21,130 Are you living water? 340 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,269 The living God, or are you thirsty? 341 00:29:25,660 --> 00:29:26,359 A human being. 342 00:29:26,359 --> 00:29:27,240 And those is quite a list. 343 00:29:27,310 --> 00:29:28,070 It is a new model. 344 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:28,200 Okay. 345 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,160 Tina said, what is the deals that were Viva? 346 00:29:32,110 --> 00:29:32,910 The answer? 347 00:29:32,950 --> 00:29:33,270 Yes. 348 00:29:33,270 --> 00:29:33,920 Yes. 349 00:29:35,770 --> 00:29:38,590 Which displays the desire of God to say. 350 00:29:39,730 --> 00:29:46,770 To be like you, to relate to you, to connect with you at a human level. 351 00:29:46,780 --> 00:29:51,730 What's the deep, one of the deepest forms of human level, your desires. 352 00:29:53,950 --> 00:30:01,460 So God humbles himself, comes to us human, fully human, fully, fully God. 353 00:30:02,590 --> 00:30:10,120 Talk about our desires, our drives, that beautiful. 354 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:23,150 Those the sales of the OS, says the humano tan humano como que los deseos. 355 00:30:23,150 --> 00:30:26,650 And all of us will make decisions this week based on our desires. 356 00:30:27,699 --> 00:30:33,279 We've made decisions up to this point in our lives based on our desires. 357 00:30:35,150 --> 00:30:39,780 And sometimes desires have just kind of been played with evil desires. 358 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:41,020 There is that. 359 00:30:41,490 --> 00:30:43,379 Those are explicit, those are clear. 360 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,230 Take those serious for sure. 361 00:30:48,130 --> 00:30:53,060 Those are the prince desires, but then there's godly desires. 362 00:30:54,310 --> 00:30:54,430 You 363 00:31:10,630 --> 00:31:10,990 bueno 364 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:15,260 all of you. 365 00:31:16,615 --> 00:31:20,175 Desire God all the time. 366 00:31:21,345 --> 00:31:24,365 Todos ustedes desean a Dios todo el tiempo. 367 00:31:24,535 --> 00:31:27,795 All of us desire God all the time. 368 00:31:29,074 --> 00:31:31,484 Todos deseamos el tiempo. 369 00:31:32,565 --> 00:31:39,335 The challenge is we don't always have practices that strengthen those desires. 370 00:31:41,065 --> 00:31:47,345 Sometimes we have practices that weaken the God desires. 371 00:31:48,985 --> 00:31:51,515 What do you think those are for you? 372 00:31:51,535 --> 00:31:56,575 What are practices that would strengthen your God desires? 373 00:31:57,875 --> 00:32:02,795 And what are practices that would weaken your God desires? 374 00:32:06,935 --> 00:32:10,035 Those the most practical skin was for man, which was the sales of the O's or the 375 00:32:10,035 --> 00:32:15,215 ability to Nuestro the sail port of the O's, but all those in Vito, uh, Annalisa, 376 00:32:15,395 --> 00:32:20,305 reflection, uh, qualis son las practicas que fortalecen to the sales of the O's. 377 00:32:27,625 --> 00:32:28,975 Can you do me a favor? 378 00:32:29,575 --> 00:32:35,995 Can you identify one practice that forms godly desires and one practice in your 379 00:32:35,995 --> 00:32:39,745 life that weakens your godly desires? 380 00:32:40,165 --> 00:32:41,005 Can you do that for me? 381 00:32:41,005 --> 00:32:42,445 Can you think about that? 382 00:32:42,475 --> 00:32:43,825 Can you hold onto those? 383 00:32:50,695 --> 00:32:55,525 I'll go gases, you know, practically debilita to the sales. 384 00:32:55,525 --> 00:33:00,415 Put it in, put it in to be carlo por favor, because it'd be easy for me 385 00:33:00,415 --> 00:33:05,705 to say, here's what you need to do, but you know, you, God knows you, 386 00:33:05,705 --> 00:33:14,245 you know, God, what's one desire, one practice that would form spirituality. 387 00:33:15,220 --> 00:33:16,460 One practice that would weaken. 388 00:33:16,470 --> 00:33:23,490 Yo les puedo decir ustedes se conocen a si mismos, ustedes 389 00:33:24,420 --> 00:33:28,030 conocen a Dios y desean a Dios. 390 00:33:28,420 --> 00:33:29,050 dejarla. 391 00:33:30,140 --> 00:33:33,280 So Jesus, fully God, fully human, can we go back? 392 00:33:33,470 --> 00:33:34,157 He then says, it is finished. 393 00:33:34,157 --> 00:33:42,550 Jesus, totalmente Dios, totalmente humano, dice, todo se ha cumplido. 394 00:33:46,690 --> 00:33:52,460 And because no one takes his life, the God who desires salvation gives of God's self. 395 00:33:53,310 --> 00:33:59,290 It says with that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. 396 00:33:59,299 --> 00:34:03,750 No one takes it from him, but he has the authority to give it up 397 00:34:04,059 --> 00:34:12,800 and to raise it back up all with the desire to save, not to condemn. 398 00:34:14,620 --> 00:34:15,820 So the cross. 399 00:34:16,905 --> 00:34:25,885 And John, it's the intersection of our needs and our weaknesses 400 00:34:27,215 --> 00:34:29,955 and the desires of God. 401 00:34:30,995 --> 00:34:34,855 And so we look to the cross not to feel guilt, but to feel 402 00:34:34,855 --> 00:34:39,445 invited into the life of God. 403 00:34:40,610 --> 00:34:41,469 This is like Cruz. 404 00:34:41,469 --> 00:34:43,500 No, it's a lugar 405 00:34:49,190 --> 00:34:52,610 para condenaciones, la interseccion de nuestras de Dios. 406 00:34:52,610 --> 00:34:53,565 Entonces vemos a la Cruz, no para sentir culpa, pero para sentir inspiración, 407 00:34:53,565 --> 00:34:58,130 Dios, the SEA, una relación con nosotros. 408 00:34:58,180 --> 00:34:59,390 Can we go to the next slide? 409 00:35:00,750 --> 00:35:09,430 And so we conclude here, first creation, the God who comes to us and sits with us. 410 00:35:10,745 --> 00:35:14,235 He cares for us and says, what are you looking for? 411 00:35:16,225 --> 00:35:18,405 And that's just not pre Christian life. 412 00:35:18,695 --> 00:35:19,525 That's right now. 413 00:35:19,525 --> 00:35:21,365 That's a question for you right now. 414 00:35:22,765 --> 00:35:24,025 What do you desire? 415 00:35:27,474 --> 00:35:28,134 Deep down, 416 00:35:32,044 --> 00:35:38,725 because we all complain, but deep down, there's a root of why you're complaining. 417 00:35:40,345 --> 00:35:46,125 We all blame, but deep down, there's a root why you blame. 418 00:35:50,265 --> 00:35:52,085 We all filter what we say. 419 00:35:54,135 --> 00:35:56,025 But deep down there's a rude why. 420 00:35:58,255 --> 00:36:01,525 And I don't think that's a desire to do something evil. 421 00:36:01,585 --> 00:36:02,785 I think that's a good desire. 422 00:36:03,565 --> 00:36:04,905 We just have bad practices. 423 00:36:21,145 --> 00:36:22,465 You're here cuz you desire God. 424 00:36:25,240 --> 00:36:30,700 So let yourselves be invited, déjense ser invitados, to put into practice, 425 00:36:32,020 --> 00:36:34,600 practices that get you close to God. 426 00:36:34,980 --> 00:36:42,899 Déjense aquí, a poner prácticas que forman tus deseos. 427 00:36:42,900 --> 00:36:45,719 I believe all of us, deep down, desire, sitting 428 00:36:48,989 --> 00:36:52,199 with Jesus, answering this question. 429 00:36:54,380 --> 00:36:55,840 I think all of us have the same answer. 430 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,610 He says, do you love me? 431 00:37:00,740 --> 00:37:04,170 Yes, Lord, I love you. 432 00:37:05,900 --> 00:37:10,669 Now, there's room there in our humanity to be like, well, what happened 433 00:37:10,669 --> 00:37:15,260 was, but it's a little complicated. 434 00:37:15,279 --> 00:37:17,789 You ever, some of you are in that relationship. 435 00:37:18,609 --> 00:37:19,449 It's complicated. 436 00:37:19,450 --> 00:37:21,917 But we all have that humanity sometimes. 437 00:37:21,917 --> 00:37:27,557 But honestly, I think we can all give the answer, give that answer to the question. 438 00:37:27,557 --> 00:37:28,967 Do you love me? 439 00:37:28,967 --> 00:37:31,434 And we would all say, yes, Lord. 440 00:37:38,775 --> 00:37:49,395 So if we have that desire, let's imitate Jesus, who isn't taking what he gives. 441 00:37:49,395 --> 00:37:58,305 Hay que imitar So today, we can choose. 442 00:37:59,245 --> 00:38:03,115 I'm going to give my day to God. 443 00:38:03,985 --> 00:38:05,675 I'm going to give my attitude. 444 00:38:06,550 --> 00:38:10,180 God, I'm going to give my pain to God. 445 00:38:10,180 --> 00:38:12,480 I'm going to give my relationships to God. 446 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,750 As we come back from team camp, I want to give God a full chance 447 00:38:16,750 --> 00:38:19,880 to have a relationship with God. 448 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,980 Todos podemos a Dios. 449 00:38:25,530 --> 00:38:35,790 God desires you, meets you where you're at and invites you deep into your being. 450 00:38:36,395 --> 00:38:39,035 So that you can have confidence in answering the question. 451 00:38:39,605 --> 00:38:41,045 I do love you. 452 00:38:55,175 --> 00:39:02,315 Let's go ahead and take communion together as we open up that little cup, as we 453 00:39:02,315 --> 00:39:04,085 get out that wafer as we take the juice. 454 00:39:04,655 --> 00:39:05,605 And the bread. 455 00:39:06,055 --> 00:39:11,295 Let's please remember that you are desired by God. 456 00:39:12,145 --> 00:39:16,765 And you are invited to desire God like he desires you. 457 00:39:18,145 --> 00:39:20,014 What practice do you need to get rid of? 458 00:39:20,085 --> 00:39:22,165 What practice do you need to implement? 459 00:39:22,835 --> 00:39:25,605 Mientras los desea. 460 00:39:54,825 --> 00:39:58,185 God, we are so grateful that you constantly meet us where we're at. 461 00:39:58,935 --> 00:40:04,025 I pray we can identify our desires, that we can recognize your desires 462 00:40:04,365 --> 00:40:09,985 and choose practices that would lead us to answering that question with 463 00:40:09,985 --> 00:40:15,305 great joy, confidence that we do love. 464 00:40:16,735 --> 00:40:20,405 Amamos We pray this in Jesus name, Amen.
