  1
• 0:59
  John
• 0:59
  5:1
• 1:00
  12.
• 1:00
  That's
• 1:01
  the
• 1:01
  epistle
• 1:01
  of
• 1:01
  John.
• 1:02
  The
• 1:02
  letter
• 1:02
  first
• 1:03
  John,
• 1:03
  not
• 1:03
  the
• 1:03
  gospel
• 1:04
  of
• 1:04
  John.
• 1:04
  So
• 1:04
  it's
• 1:04
  1
• 1:05
  John
• 1:05
  5:1
• 1:06
  12
• 1:07
  from
• 1:07
  the
• 1:07
  message
• 1:09
  Every
• 1:09
  person
• 1:10
  who
• 1:10
  believes
• 1:11
  that
• 1:11
  Jesus
• 1:11
  is
• 1:12
  in
• 1:12
  fact
• 1:12
  the
• 1:13
  Messiah
• 1:13
  is
• 1:14
  God
• 1:14
  born.
• 1:14
  If
• 1:15
  we
• 1:15
  love
• 1:15
  the
• 1:15
  one
• 1:15
  who
• 1:15
  conceives
• 1:16
  the
• 1:16
  child,
• 1:17
  we'll
• 1:17
  surely
• 1:18
  love
• 1:18
  the
• 1:18
  child
• 1:18
  who
• 1:19
  was
• 1:19
  conceived.
• 1:20
  The
• 1:21
  reality
• 1:21
  test
• 1:21
  on
• 1:21
  whether
• 1:22
  or
• 1:22
  not
• 1:22
  we
• 1:22
  love
• 1:22
  God's
• 1:23
  children
• 1:23
  is
• 1:23
  this.
• 1:24
  Do
• 1:24
  we
• 1:24
  love
• 1:25
  God?
• 1:26
  Do
• 1:26
  we
• 1:26
  keep
• 1:26
  his
• 1:26
  commands?
• 1:28
  The
• 1:28
  proof
• 1:28
  that
• 1:28
  we
• 1:28
  love
• 1:29
  God
• 1:29
  comes
• 1:29
  when
• 1:30
  we
• 1:30
  keep
• 1:30
  his
• 1:30
  commandments
• 1:31
  and
• 1:31
  they
• 1:31
  are
• 1:31
  not
• 1:31
  at
• 1:32
  all
• 1:32
  troublesome.
• 1:34
  The
• 1:34
  Power
• 1:34
  that
• 1:34
  Brings
• 1:35
  the
• 1:35
  World
• 1:35
  to
• 1:35
  Its
• 1:35
  Knees
• 1:36
  Every
• 1:37
  God
• 1:37
  born
• 1:38
  person
• 1:38
  conquers
• 1:39
  the
• 1:39
  world's
• 1:39
  ways.
• 1:40
  The
• 1:40
  conquering
• 1:41
  power
• 1:41
  that
• 1:42
  brings
• 1:42
  the
• 1:42
  world
• 1:42
  to
• 1:43
  its
• 1:43
  knees
• 1:43
  is
• 1:43
  our
• 1:44
  faith.
• 1:45
  The
• 1:45
  person
• 1:45
  who
• 1:45
  wins
• 1:46
  out
• 1:46
  over
• 1:46
  the
• 1:47
  world's
• 1:47
  ways
• 1:47
  is
• 1:47
  simply
• 1:48
  the
• 1:48
  one
• 1:48
  who
• 1:48
  believes
• 1:49
  Jesus
• 1:49
  is
• 1:49
  the
• 1:50
  Son
• 1:50
  of
• 1:50
  God.
• 1:51
  Jesus
• 1:52
  the
• 1:53
  Divine
• 1:53
  Christ.
• 1:54
  He
• 1:54
  experienced
• 1:55
  a
• 1:55
  life
• 1:55
  giving
• 1:55
  birth
• 1:56
  and
• 1:56
  a
• 1:56
  death
• 1:57
  killing
• 1:57
  death.
• 1:58
  Not
• 1:59
  only
• 1:59
  birth
• 1:59
  from
• 1:59
  the
• 1:59
  womb,
• 2:00
  but
• 2:00
  baptismal
• 2:01
  birth
• 2:01
  of
• 2:02
  his
• 2:02
  ministry
• 2:02
  and
• 2:03
  sacrificial
• 2:03
  death.
• 2:05
  And
• 2:05
  all
• 2:05
  the
• 2:05
  while
• 2:05
  the
• 2:05
  Spirit
• 2:06
  is
• 2:06
  confirming
• 2:06
  the
• 2:07
  truth,
• 2:07
  the
• 2:08
  reality
• 2:08
  of
• 2:08
  God's
• 2:09
  presence
• 2:09
  at
• 2:10
  Jesus
• 2:10
  baptism
• 2:11
  and
• 2:11
  crucifixion,
• 2:13
  bringing
• 2:14
  those
• 2:14
  occasions
• 2:14
  alive
• 2:15
  for
• 2:15
  us.
• 2:17
  A
• 2:17
  triple
• 2:17
  testimony.
• 2:18
  The
• 2:19
  Spirit,
• 2:20
  the
• 2:21
  baptism,
• 2:21
  the
• 2:22
  Crucifixion
• 2:23
  and
• 2:23
  the
• 2:24
  three
• 2:24
  are
• 2:25
  in
• 2:25
  perfect
• 2:25
  agreement.
• 2:27
  So
• 2:27
  if
• 2:27
  we
• 2:27
  take
• 2:28
  human
• 2:28
  testimony
• 2:28
  at
• 2:29
  face
• 2:29
  value,
• 2:30
  how
• 2:30
  much
• 2:30
  more
• 2:31
  should
• 2:31
  we
• 2:31
  be
• 2:31
  reassured
• 2:32
  when
• 2:33
  God
• 2:33
  gives
• 2:33
  testimony
• 2:34
  as
• 2:34
  he
• 2:34
  does
• 2:35
  here,
• 2:36
  testifying
• 2:36
  concerning
• 2:37
  His
• 2:37
  Son.
• 2:38
  Whoever
• 2:38
  believes
• 2:39
  in
• 2:39
  the
• 2:39
  Son
• 2:39
  of
• 2:39
  God
• 2:40
  inwardly
• 2:41
  confirms
• 2:41
  God's
• 2:41
  testimony.
• 2:42
  Whoever
• 2:43
  refuses
• 2:43
  to
• 2:44
  believe
• 2:44
  in
• 2:44
  effect
• 2:45
  calls
• 2:45
  God
• 2:45
  a
• 2:45
  liar,
• 2:46
  refusing
• 2:47
  to
• 2:47
  believe
• 2:47
  God's
• 2:48
  own
• 2:48
  testimony
• 2:48
  regarding
• 2:49
  His
• 2:49
  Son.
• 2:50
  This
• 2:50
  is
• 2:51
  the
• 2:51
  testimony.
• 2:51
  In
• 2:52
  essence,
• 2:53
  God
• 2:53
  gave
• 2:53
  us
• 2:54
  eternal
• 2:54
  life,
• 2:54
  the
• 2:55
  life
• 2:55
  is
• 2:55
  in
• 2:56
  his
• 2:56
  Son.
• 2:57
  So
• 2:57
  whoever
• 2:58
  has
• 2:58
  the
• 2:58
  Son
• 2:59
  has
• 2:59
  life.
• 2:59
  Whoever
• 3:00
  rejects
• 3:01
  the
• 3:01
  Son
• 3:02
  rejects
• 3:02
  life.
• 3:04
  Well,
• 3:04
  that
• 3:05
  ends
• 3:05
  the
• 3:05
  reading.
• 3:05
  And
• 3:05
  my
• 3:05
  friend,
• 3:06
  I
• 3:06
  just
• 3:06
  thank
• 3:06
  you
• 3:06
  for
• 3:07
  making
• 3:07
  some
• 3:07
  space
• 3:07
  in
• 3:08
  your
• 3:08
  life
• 3:08
  for
• 3:08
  us
• 3:08
  to
• 3:08
  have
• 3:09
  a
• 3:09
  conversation
• 3:10
  about
• 3:10
  this
• 3:10
  important
• 3:11
  reading
• 3:11
  of
• 3:12
  scripture.
• 3:12
  From
• 3:12
  the
• 3:12
  Epistle
• 3:13
  1
• 3:13
  John
• 3:14
  5,
• 3:14
  1:12
• 3:15
  where
• 3:15
  John
• 3:16
  likes
• 3:16
  to
• 3:17
  ties
• 3:17
  the
• 3:18
  love
• 3:18
  of
• 3:18
  God
• 3:18
  to
• 3:19
  like
• 3:19
  the
• 3:19
  love
• 3:20
  of
• 3:21
  God's
• 3:21
  children.
• 3:22
  He
• 3:22
  says
• 3:22
  God's
• 3:23
  commands
• 3:23
  aren't
• 3:23
  meant
• 3:24
  to
• 3:24
  be
• 3:24
  burdens.
• 3:25
  And
• 3:25
  he
• 3:25
  talks
• 3:25
  here
• 3:25
  what
• 3:26
  I
• 3:26
  think
• 3:26
  is
• 3:26
  very
• 3:26
  cool
• 3:26
  about
• 3:26
  the
• 3:27
  triple
• 3:27
  testimony,
• 3:28
  Spirit
• 3:28
  baptism,
• 3:29
  crucifixion
• 3:30
  and
• 3:30
  that
• 3:31
  who
• 3:31
  confirms
• 3:31
  who
• 3:31
  Jesus
• 3:32
  is.
• 3:32
  He's
• 3:32
  the
• 3:32
  one
• 3:32
  who
• 3:32
  brings
• 3:33
  it
• 3:33
  all
• 3:33
  together.
• 3:34
  God
• 3:34
  gave
• 3:34
  us
• 3:35
  eternal
• 3:35
  life,
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  life
• 3:36
  of
• 3:36
  His
• 3:36
  Son.
• 3:37
  So
• 3:37
  let's
• 3:38
  go
• 3:38
  a
• 3:38
  little
• 3:38
  deeper
• 3:38
  with
• 3:38
  some
• 3:38
  points
• 3:39
  to
• 3:39
  ponder
• 3:39
  from
• 3:40
  a
• 3:40
  progressive
• 3:41
  perspective.
• 3:43
  The
• 3:43
  first
• 3:43
  is
• 3:44
  love
• 3:44
  of
• 3:44
  God
• 3:44
  equals
• 3:45
  love
• 3:45
  of
• 3:45
  neighbor.
• 3:46
  Period.
• 3:48
  John's
• 3:48
  reality
• 3:49
  test
• 3:49
  is
• 3:50
  simple.
• 3:50
  If
• 3:50
  we
• 3:50
  love
• 3:50
  the
• 3:50
  one
• 3:51
  who
• 3:51
  conceives
• 3:52
  we
• 3:52
  love
• 3:52
  the
• 3:52
  ones
• 3:53
  conceived
• 3:54
  God's
• 3:55
  children.
• 3:56
  Progressive
• 3:56
  faith
• 3:57
  refuses
• 3:57
  to
• 3:57
  separate
• 3:58
  devotion
• 3:58
  from
• 3:58
  dignity.
• 4:00
  Loving
• 4:00
  God
• 4:01
  means
• 4:01
  safeguarding
• 4:02
  people,
• 4:03
  especially
• 4:03
  those
• 4:03
  who've
• 4:04
  been
• 4:04
  sidelined,
• 4:05
  such
• 4:05
  as
• 4:05
  our
• 4:06
  LBGTQ
• 4:07
  siblings,
• 4:08
  immigrants,
• 4:09
  black,
• 4:09
  brown,
• 4:10
  people
• 4:10
  of
• 4:10
  any
• 4:10
  color,
• 4:12
  our
• 4:12
  neighbors,
• 4:12
  our
• 4:13
  patients,
• 4:13
  caregivers,
• 4:14
  the
• 4:15
  poor.
• 4:16
  Commands
• 4:17
  become
• 4:17
  pathways
• 4:18
  to
• 4:18
  belonging,
• 4:18
  not
• 4:19
  barriers
• 4:19
  to
• 4:19
  keep
• 4:19
  people
• 4:20
  out.
• 4:22
  A
• 4:22
  second
• 4:23
  point
• 4:23
  to
• 4:23
  ponder
• 4:23
  is
• 4:24
  God's
• 4:24
  commands
• 4:24
  are

  here

  the

  that

  And

  if

  our

  religion
• 4:43
  adds
• 4:43
  shame
• 4:44

  heavy

• 4:45
  we've

  And

  this

  isn't
• 5:20
  about

• 5:22
  It's
• 5:22
  about

  dismantling

  harm,
• 5:24
  racism,
• 5:25
  misogyny,

  transphobia,

  We

  when

• 5:47
  Let's

  talk

  about
• 5:47
  an

  this

• 5:50
  Make

  a

• 5:53
  What

  where

  there's

  a

  command
• 5:59
  in
• 5:59
  your

  life
• 6:00
  that
• 6:00
  gets
• 6:00
  heavy.
• 6:02
  Make

  serving

  loving

  your

• 6:06
  what
• 6:06
  you're

  about.
• 6:08
  Tell
• 6:08
  the

  truth,
• 6:08
  seek

  justice
• 6:09
  and
• 6:10
  translate

  it
• 6:10
  into

  one
• 6:11
  small

• 6:14
  Let's

  break

  it

  down
• 6:15
  a

  little

  further

  who's

  a

  provide

  it.
• 6:33
  Provide
