  Message

  make
• 1:04
  the
• 1:05
  master
• 1:05
  proud
• 1:05
  of
• 1:05
  you
• 1:05
  for
• 1:06
  being
• 1:06
  good
• 1:07
  citizens.
• 1:08
  Respect
• 1:08
  the
• 1:09
  authorities,
• 1:10
  whatever
• 1:10
  their
• 1:10
  level.
• 1:11
  They
• 1:12
  are
• 1:12
  God's
• 1:12
  emissaries
• 1:13
  for
• 1:13
  keeping
• 1:13
  order.
• 1:14
  It
• 1:14
  is
• 1:15
  God's
• 1:15
  will
• 1:15
  that
• 1:15
  by
• 1:16
  doing
• 1:16
  good
• 1:16
  you
• 1:16
  might
• 1:17
  cure
• 1:17
  the

  ignorance
• 1:18
  of
• 1:18
  the
• 1:18
  fools
• 1:19
  who
• 1:19
  think
• 1:19
  you're
• 1:19
  a
• 1:20
  danger
• 1:20
  to
• 1:20
  society.
• 1:22
  Exercise
• 1:22
  your
• 1:23
  freedom
• 1:23
  by
• 1:23
  serving
• 1:23
  God,
• 1:24
  not
• 1:24
  by
• 1:24
  breaking
• 1:25
  the
• 1:25
  rules.
• 1:26
  Treat
• 1:27
  everyone
• 1:27
  you
• 1:27
  meet
• 1:27
  with
• 1:28
  dignity.
• 1:29
  Love
• 1:29
  your
• 1:29
  spiritual
• 1:30
  family.
• 1:30
  Revere
• 1:31
  God.
• 1:31
  Respect
• 1:32
  the
• 1:32
  government.
• 1:34
  Well,
• 1:34
  my
• 1:34
  friends,
• 1:35
  there's
• 1:36
  a
• 1:36
  lot
• 1:36
  of
• 1:37
  big
• 1:37
  concepts,
• 1:38
  a
• 1:38
  lot
• 1:38
  of
• 1:38
  big
• 1:38
  words
• 1:38
  here.
• 1:39
  Hard
• 1:39
  words
• 1:39
  even.
• 1:40
  So
• 1:40
  let's
• 1:40
  talk
• 1:40
  about
• 1:40
  them
• 1:41
  in
• 1:41
  a
• 1:41
  couple
• 1:41
  of
• 1:42
  points
• 1:42
  to
• 1:43
  ponder
• 1:43
  about
• 1:43
  this
• 1:44
  passage
• 1:45
  from
• 1:45
  1st
• 1:46
  Peter
• 1:46
  2.
• 1:46
  First
• 1:47
  point
• 1:47
  to
• 1:47
  ponder
• 1:47
  is
• 1:48
  this
• 1:50
  context
• 1:51
  isn't
• 1:52
  optional.
• 1:53
  It's
• 1:54
  everything.
• 1:56
  I
• 1:56
  feel
• 1:57
  strongly
• 1:57
  about
• 1:57
  this,
• 1:57
  about
• 1:58
  the
• 1:58
  entire
• 1:58
  reading
• 1:59
  of
• 1:59
  the
• 1:59
  Bible
• 1:59
  because
• 1:59
  so
• 1:59
  many
• 2:00
  things
• 2:00
  are
• 2:00
  taken
• 2:00
  out
• 2:00
  of
• 2:01
  context.
• 2:03
  So
• 2:03
  it's
• 2:03
  important
• 2:03
  that
• 2:04
  we
• 2:05
  understand
• 2:07
  that
• 2:07
  context
• 2:10
  is
• 2:11
  the
• 2:11
  framework
• 2:12
  of
• 2:12
  how
• 2:12
  we
• 2:12
  understand
• 2:13
  all
• 2:13
  of
• 2:13
  scripture.
• 2:14
  So
• 2:14
  in
• 2:15
  understanding
• 2:15
  this
• 2:15
  particular
• 2:16
  scripture
• 2:16
  from
• 2:16
  Peter,
• 2:17
  Peter
• 2:17
  isn't
• 2:17
  writing
• 2:18
  to
• 2:18
  people
• 2:18
  in
• 2:18
  power.
• 2:19
  He's
• 2:19
  writing
• 2:20
  to
• 2:20
  a
• 2:20
  tiny,
• 2:21
  vulnerable
• 2:22
  community,
• 2:23
  a
• 2:23
  minority
• 2:23
  community
• 2:24
  living
• 2:26
  under
• 2:26
  the
• 2:27
  thumb
• 2:27
  of
• 2:27
  the
• 2:27
  Roman
• 2:28
  Empire,
• 2:28
  an
• 2:29
  empire
• 2:29
  that
• 2:29
  could
• 2:31
  and
• 2:31
  often
• 2:31
  did
• 2:33
  kill
• 2:33
  Christians
• 2:34
  for
• 2:35
  sport.
• 2:36
  You
• 2:36
  know,
• 2:36
  that's
• 2:36
  what
• 2:36
  the
• 2:37
  coliseum,
• 2:37
  that's
• 2:38
  what
• 2:38
  throwing
• 2:38
  the
• 2:38
  Christians
• 2:39
  to
• 2:39
  the
• 2:39
  lions
• 2:39
  was
• 2:39
  all
• 2:39
  about.
• 2:42
  So
• 2:42
  this
• 2:42
  is
• 2:42
  survival
• 2:43
  literature.
• 2:45
  It's
• 2:45
  pastoral
• 2:46
  advice
• 2:46
  to
• 2:46
  a
• 2:46
  persecuted
• 2:47
  community
• 2:48
  about
• 2:49
  how
• 2:49
  not
• 2:50
  to
• 2:50
  get
• 2:50
  crushed.
• 2:53
  So
• 2:53
  here's
• 2:53
  where
• 2:53
  a
• 2:53
  progressive
• 2:54
  reading
• 2:54
  of
• 2:54
  this
• 2:54
  passage
• 2:55
  becomes
• 2:56
  important.
• 2:56
  For
• 2:56
  centuries,
• 2:58
  this
• 2:58
  text
• 2:58
  has
• 2:59
  been
• 2:59
  weaponized,
• 3:01
  used
• 3:01
  to
• 3:01
  justify
• 3:02
  slavery,
• 3:03
  used
• 3:03
  to
• 3:04
  silence
• 3:04
  women,
• 3:05
  used
• 3:05
  to
• 3:05
  tell
• 3:06
  oppressed
• 3:06
  people,
• 3:07
  shut
• 3:08
  up
• 3:08
  and
• 3:08
  take
• 3:08
  it.
• 3:09
  Oh,
• 3:10
  man.
• 3:13
  This
• 3:13
  is
• 3:13
  not
• 3:14
  what
• 3:14
  Peter
• 3:14
  was
• 3:14
  doing.
• 3:16
  Peter
• 3:16
  was
• 3:16
  saying,
• 3:17
  hey,
• 3:18
  be
• 3:18
  smart.
• 3:19
  Keep
• 3:20
  your
• 3:20
  heads
• 3:20
  down.
• 3:21
  Keep
• 3:21
  doing
• 3:22
  Good
• 3:23
  and
• 3:24
  let
• 3:24
  your
• 3:24
  lives
• 3:25
  do
• 3:25
  the
• 3:25
  preaching.
• 3:26
  This
• 3:27
  is
• 3:27
  not
• 3:27
  and
• 3:27
  never
• 3:28
  has
• 3:28
  been
• 3:28
  a
• 3:29
  blank
• 3:29
  check
• 3:30
  for
• 3:30
  government
• 3:31
  to
• 3:31
  do
• 3:32
  whatever
• 3:32
  it
• 3:32
  wants
• 3:34
  to
• 3:34
  abuse
• 3:34
  people.
• 3:35
  The
• 3:35
  same
• 3:36
  Peter
• 3:36
  who
• 3:36
  wrote
• 3:37
  this
• 3:37
  also
• 3:37
  stood
• 3:37
  before
• 3:38
  authorities
• 3:39
  in
• 3:39
  Acts
• 3:39
  5
• 3:40
  and
• 3:40
  said,
• 3:41
  we
• 3:41
  must
• 3:42
  obey
• 3:42
  God
• 3:42
  rather
• 3:43
  than
• 3:43
  human
• 3:43
  beings.
• 3:44
  So
• 3:45
  when,
• 3:45
  quote,
• 3:46
  submit
• 3:46
  to
• 3:46
  authority,
• 3:47
  close
• 3:47
  quote
• 3:47
  bumps
• 3:48
  up
• 3:48
  against
• 3:48
  quote,
• 3:49
  love
• 3:49
  your
• 3:50
  neighbor,
• 3:51
  love
• 3:51
  wins.
• 3:53
  Love
• 3:54
  wins
• 3:55
  every
• 3:56
  single
• 3:56
  time.
• 3:56
  So
• 3:57
  context
• 3:57
  isn't
• 3:58
  a
• 3:58
  loophole
• 3:59
  that
• 3:59
  so
• 3:59
  many
• 3:59
  use
• 4:00
  it
• 4:00
  for.
• 4:01
  It's
• 4:02
  the
• 4:02
  whole
• 4:02
  game.
• 4:05
  Point
• 4:05
  de
• 4:05
  ponder
• 4:06
  number
• 4:06
  two.
• 4:08
  Freedom
• 4:08
  isn't
• 4:08
  a
• 4:09
  license,
• 4:10
  it's
• 4:10
  responsibility.
• 4:15
  Look
• 4:15
  at
• 4:15
  this
• 4:15
  verse.
• 4:17
  Verse
• 4:18
  16.
• 4:18
  Live
• 4:18
  as
• 4:18
  free
• 4:19
  people,
• 4:19
  but
• 4:19
  do
• 4:19
  not
• 4:20
  use
• 4:20
  your
• 4:20
  freedom
• 4:21
  as
• 4:21
  a
• 4:21
  cover
• 4:22
  up
• 4:22
  for
• 4:22
  evil.
• 4:22
  Oh
• 4:23
  man,
• 4:25
  love
• 4:25
  that
• 4:25
  one.
• 4:26
  Oh,
• 4:26
  that's
• 4:26
  kind
• 4:26
  of
• 4:27
  a
• 4:27
  punch
• 4:27
  to
• 4:27
  the
• 4:27
  gut,
• 4:28
  isn't
• 4:28
  it?
• 4:29
  Because
• 4:29
  we
• 4:29
  love
• 4:29
  to
• 4:30
  talk
• 4:30
  about
• 4:30
  freedom
• 4:30
  in
• 4:31
  our
• 4:31
  culture.
• 4:31
  You
• 4:31
  know,
• 4:32
  my
• 4:32
  freedom,
• 4:33
  my
• 4:33
  rights,
• 4:34
  my
• 4:34
  preferences.
• 4:35
  But
• 4:36
  Peter
• 4:36
  is
• 4:36
  saying
• 4:37
  real
• 4:38
  freedom
• 4:38
  isn't
• 4:38
  about
• 4:38
  doing
• 4:39
  what
• 4:39
  just
• 4:39
  would
• 4:40
  do
• 4:40
  what
• 4:40
  you
• 4:40
  want
• 4:40
  to
• 4:40
  do.
• 4:42
  Real
• 4:42
  freedom
• 4:43
  is
• 4:43
  about
• 4:43
  being
• 4:43
  free
• 4:43
  to
• 4:43
  love,
• 4:44
  free
• 4:44
  to
• 4:45
  serve,
• 4:46
  free
• 4:46
  to
• 4:46
  do
• 4:47
  good,
• 4:48
  even
• 4:48
  when
• 4:49
  no
• 4:49
  one's
• 4:50
  making
• 4:51
  you
• 4:52
  the
• 4:52
  center
• 4:52
  of
• 4:53
  attention.
• 4:55
  I
• 4:56
  think
• 4:56
  sometimes
• 4:56
  about
• 4:57
  the
• 4:57
  folks
• 4:57
  I
• 4:57
  interview
• 4:57
  in
• 4:57
  my
• 4:58

  this

  such
• 5:47
  a

  there's

  so
• 5:48
  much
• 5:48
  disrespect,

  ones
• 5:55
  who
• 5:55
  look
• 5:55
  like

  us,

  background.
• 6:01
  Everyone.
• 6:02
  Not

  you

  or

  worship
• 6:11
  like
• 6:11
  you.
• 6:12
  There's
• 6:13
  a
• 6:13
  radical
• 6:13
  ethic
• 6:15
  in
• 6:15
  this

  It

  fits
• 6:17
  our
• 6:17
  time
• 6:17
  and
• 6:17
  place.
• 6:18
  It

  biblical
• 6:20
  times.
