00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.840
Real life presents the Jack Hibbs podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim

2
00:00:05.840 --> 00:00:11.800
truth, equip the saints and impact our culture. To be busted means predominantly in

3
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:17.520
our culture that you got caught. We'll use the word man you got busted. To be

4
00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:22.560
busted means that you know what you're doing is wrong but you're not willing to

5
00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:28.200
stop it and even though that you now have just been busted you still might

6
00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:32.000
be thinking about ways in the future. I had to pull it off next time more

7
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:37.160
discreetly so that you don't get busted. Are you with me? When you're broken? Oh

8
00:00:37.160 --> 00:00:40.360
that's completely different.

00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:47.800

11
00:00:53.160 --> 00:00:58.040
life in Christ then make sure you leave us one of those five star ratings. To us

12
00:00:58.040 --> 00:01:03.200
that's like saying amen or yes. Then that rating will encourage others to

13
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:08.680
listen. Now open your hearts to what God's word has to say to you. Here is Jack

14
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:15.660
Hibbs. Listen are you broken or are you busted? And this is something that we

15
00:01:15.660 --> 00:01:18.920
deal with in life all the time. By setting this up everybody going to ask you

16
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:23.400
to consider these verses. And by the way it's only in Christianity as I mentioned

17
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:28.040
a moment ago that being broken is a good thing. In Matthew chapter 21 verse 44

18
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:31.840
Jesus says something that is quite shocking and you don't usually hear sermons

19
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:37.640
preached on this. In Matthew 21 44 Jesus said whoever falls on this stone will

20
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:44.560
be broken but whoever it falls it will grind him to powder translation. Jesus

21
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:49.520
is speaking to the Pharisees. He's exposing them because they got busted but

22
00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:56.080
they're covering up their sins. Jesus announces regarding himself. He's saying

23
00:01:56.080 --> 00:02:01.280
that he's the stone and here's the difference between being busted or broken.

24
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:08.320
Whoever falls on this stone they're going to be broken. That's a good thing.

25
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:16.000
Fall on him for mercy. Fall on him for grace. But on whomever it falls what

26
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:23.320
falls the stone? Whoever the stone falls upon when Christ has to fall upon you it's

27
00:02:23.320 --> 00:02:28.480
because you've got busted. You won't repent. You won't turn away and you won't be

28
00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:32.480
honest with yourself and with God. And so you're covering up your story and

29
00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:36.240
Jesus said you know what your life is going to end eternally being ground to

30
00:02:36.320 --> 00:02:41.760
powder and it doesn't need to be that way. So church families we look at this

31
00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:47.560
today I think it'd be good as I've put down in the notes that we need to be

32
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:52.720
reminded of what is known as the Romans road right out of this great epistle. Are

33
00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:58.400
you ready? It's search in Romans chapter 3 verse 23. Romans 3 23 says for all of

34
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:03.040
sin and false short of the glory of God guess what the word in the Greek all means.

35
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:09.240
Very good. It means all. All of us have sinned and false short of the glory of God

36
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:15.160
meaning every human being cannot meet the standard that God has set for us to

37
00:03:15.160 --> 00:03:20.560
enter into heaven. We can't make it. You might say oh man I'm busted. And you're

38
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:24.480
going to try to cover up and make some legal excuse as to why you're better than

39
00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:28.960
the person next to you or you hear that and you say I'm broken. That just breaks

40
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:38.000
me. I have nothing. The next verse is this in Romans 6 23 for the wages of sin

41
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:44.520
is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Wow.

42
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:51.400
Next verse Romans 5 8 but God demonstrates his own love toward us and that

43
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:58.640
while we were still sinners that's amazing Christ died for us in the mind of

44
00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:06.320
God which is eternal even though Jesus died 2,000 years ago according to

45
00:04:06.320 --> 00:04:11.360
biblical theology because it was God on the cross not some superhuman it was

46
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:16.600
God at the cross he had you on his mind whoever you are every single one of

47
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:20.720
you I don't know only God can do this but he had you on his mind and it was

48
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:26.840
for good by the way he was nailed to the cross for you because you and I are

49
00:04:26.840 --> 00:04:33.440
guilty of our sins and to benefit from that don't say you're busted but be

50
00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:40.520
broken by this beautiful reality next verse Romans chapter 10 verse 9 that if

51
00:04:40.520 --> 00:04:46.320
you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God

52
00:04:46.320 --> 00:04:52.440
raised him from the dead you will be saved boy is there any kind of doubt about

53
00:04:52.440 --> 00:04:58.400
that statement there none whatsoever none whatsoever and then finally it's

54
00:04:58.400 --> 00:05:05.000
Romans 10 13 for whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be what saved listen

55
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:08.960
my friends who are involved in cults you need to read the Romans road it's right

56
00:05:08.960 --> 00:05:15.560
there you can't save yourself you can't be good enough you've got to be broken I

57
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.480
could say a lot of things about the difference between being involved in

58
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:24.920
religion and being a Christ follower but one thing I will say the Christ

59
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:31.400
follower is happy to be broken happy to understand that we come with all of

60
00:05:31.400 --> 00:05:36.360
our spiritual needs and every need for that matter to be met by God we can't

61
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:41.640
do it on our own and so when you hear those verses of the Romans road how do

62
00:05:41.640 --> 00:05:46.080
you respond to that you're in your mind are you thinking of excuses to every

63
00:05:46.080 --> 00:05:49.800
verse I read a moment ago if you find yourself making up excuses or

64
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:55.760
justifications it's because the Holy Spirit is busting you but if you're saying

65
00:05:55.760 --> 00:06:04.480
thank God for that verse thank you Lord for that then you're broken number one

66
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:08.400
market down church busted or broken it's our first argument an installment of

67
00:06:08.400 --> 00:06:12.760
this point today and it is this coming to the end of yourself coming to the

68
00:06:12.760 --> 00:06:16.720
end of yourself according to the Bible is a great thing it's what you and I need

69
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:20.240
to know now listen I understand that what I'm saying here today in the 21st

70
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:25.560
century flies in the face of every motivational speaker that's out there

71
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:29.680
today I understand that what I'm saying today is probably going going to go

72
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:34.240
against many sermons that are being preached in American churches today but I'm

73
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:37.960
telling you right now according to God's word that we need to come to the end

74
00:06:37.960 --> 00:06:43.680
of ourselves if we're going to succeed as believers and he's gonna walk us

75
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:48.160
through that and so get ready this is strong but it's healthy number one is this

76
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:52.360
we need to come to the end of self-defense will you write that down please we

77
00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:58.600
find that in verse 14 bless those who persecute you bless and do not curse now

78
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:03.080
church write this down or remember it please that is impossible I want all of

79
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:11.040
you to know this bless those who persecute you that is humanly impossible you

80
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:17.120
say I think I can do it Jack I think I can do it persecuted listen all of us

81
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:23.760
can handle a few words spoken at us that are ill but can you can you bless your

82
00:07:23.760 --> 00:07:29.520
persecutors if they're removing your fingernails of pliers can you do what

83
00:07:29.520 --> 00:07:37.560
the Christians did in Libya who when their Muslim killers took the sword to

84
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:44.840
their throat they began to sing the praises of God it's easy to say in our

85
00:07:44.840 --> 00:07:52.600
self-reliance yeah I'm being persecuted somebody at work stole my eryser

86
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:58.440
verses now today this day this Sunday morning being a Christian in Kenya and

87
00:07:58.440 --> 00:08:04.840
in Nigeria will get you killed today and the Bible are you kidding me the Bible

88
00:08:04.840 --> 00:08:09.920
tells me to bless those who persecute me yes it does but I you we cannot do

89
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.240
that in and of ourselves you want to know why there's too much of us that

90
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:17.040
exist even though we are redeemed by the blood of the lamb and we're on our way

91
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:22.200
to heaven there's still this flesh that seeks its comfort does it not and when

92
00:08:22.200 --> 00:08:27.880
push comes to shove and when it gets bad enough according to the word of God

93
00:08:27.880 --> 00:08:32.400
this is the power of the Holy Spirit that will work in and through you that when

94
00:08:32.400 --> 00:08:37.160
your persecutor is persecuting you you can bless them because you and I do not

95
00:08:37.160 --> 00:08:41.180
have that in and of ourselves we cannot do it well pastor I baked the

96
00:08:41.180 --> 00:08:46.040
differ because I really bake a really great pie and I give it to everyone of my

97
00:08:46.040 --> 00:08:53.720
enemies again that is sweet keep doing that but we're going deeper in this we're

98
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:59.360
going deeper to bless those who persecute you bless and do not curse the only way

99
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:02.360
that we can do that is that for you and I to come to the end of ourselves and

100
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:06.280
understand that I cannot live my Christian life without God living it through me

101
00:09:06.280 --> 00:09:11.360
and that means I need to stop defending myself I need to stop defending myself and

102
00:09:11.920 --> 00:09:17.920
my rights so to speak I guess I should say this up front when I say the end of

103
00:09:17.920 --> 00:09:23.920
self-defense I am not talking about you providing defense for your home for your

104
00:09:23.920 --> 00:09:27.600
family I'm not talking about becoming a doormat do you understand what I'm saying

105
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:32.160
this is something different than that the Bible says by the way if you do not

106
00:09:32.160 --> 00:09:37.760
protect your home against an assailant you're worse than an unbeliever you

107
00:09:37.760 --> 00:09:43.240
understand that I'm kind of hitting around you know I'm saying if somebody

108
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.760
comes into your home in the middle of the night to kill you you don't say well

109
00:09:46.760 --> 00:09:50.880
I'm just gonna trust the Lord and I'm gonna stand here and you know I'm gonna

110
00:09:50.880 --> 00:09:56.640
turn the other cheek that's not what that means if somebody comes into your home

111
00:09:56.640 --> 00:10:01.800
to destroy your family and to pillage or to rape your wife the Bible says that

112
00:10:01.800 --> 00:10:04.600
you are to provide for your family and if you don't you're worse than a

113
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:10.760
non-believer so we're not talking about being passive we are talking about in

114
00:10:10.760 --> 00:10:16.520
the sense of someone persecuting us persecuting you and you get all upset

115
00:10:16.520 --> 00:10:22.200
about it you get all defensive about it and your feelings get hurt this is one

116
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:25.560
of the great indicators that we're not in the spirit on this one is that when

117
00:10:25.560 --> 00:10:30.120
somebody says oh man you know you're a Christian and something something and you

118
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.320
get your feelings that hurts your feelings listen your feelings should not get

119
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:39.480
hurt your feelings listen your feelings will lie to you every single time and

120
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:46.640
most often feelings will panic feelings are prone to panic why do they not like

121
00:10:46.640 --> 00:10:50.680
you it's because whatever you've said or whatever you're doing or however

122
00:10:50.680 --> 00:10:57.640
you're living is reminding that hostile audience of Jesus they see Jesus in

123
00:10:57.640 --> 00:11:04.680
your life and they can't stand it and because you're a follower of Jesus your

124
00:11:04.680 --> 00:11:12.920
life being lived for his glory makes them look bad I remember being I think in

125
00:11:12.920 --> 00:11:21.320
junior high or maybe I was in the ninth grade and I went to my first party and I

126
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:25.640
was never into drugs never into drinking it just wasn't my thing and I remember

127
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:31.640
I remember a friend of mine and I we didn't want to do what the world was doing at

128
00:11:31.640 --> 00:11:36.200
that party but we didn't want to look like idiots either so what we did was we were so

129
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:42.440
desperate to blend in that we poured out a can of beer each we poured the beer out and we

130
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:50.120
literally put Coca-Cola or Pepsi in the can and then listen so carnal but I was not a Christian

131
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:56.280
but the moments I had the beer in my hand that wasn't really a beer right I'm sending

132
00:11:56.280 --> 00:12:05.080
the message I'm just like all you guys I'm fine what was I doing I was caving to peer pressure

133
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:11.560
I was caving to the audience that I didn't even even know but I wanted to be accepted so I pulled

134
00:12:11.560 --> 00:12:17.720
off this charade my friend and I did and I remember again I was not a Christian but I remember

135
00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:25.160
thinking man this is weird if they only knew that Coca-Cola was in this beer can they'd probably

136
00:12:25.160 --> 00:12:32.200
beat us up but I'm making this part up now right but so I don't suffer persecution this is what

137
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:39.160
I will look like right now I'll make them think I'm holding a beer can and make sure they never

138
00:12:39.160 --> 00:12:46.840
know I've got Pepsi inside that beer can we'll do anything to justify ourselves to look good in front

139
00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:54.120
of the world and God says don't do that the fear of man is a snare and you need to understand

140
00:12:54.120 --> 00:13:01.240
that as long as you yourself are trying to look good for self gain and self promotion and self

141
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:07.960
defense the Holy Spirit's power will not be present it's when you and I come before God and we

142
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:14.280
are weak and I don't mean to be funny about this whatsoever I've just learned to embrace it

143
00:13:14.280 --> 00:13:20.520
over the decades and that is I'm weak pretty much all the time and I kind of try to keep myself

144
00:13:20.520 --> 00:13:26.520
in a weak position meaning I can't do what I'm being invited to do I can't do what I'm being asked to

145
00:13:26.520 --> 00:13:33.080
do and I love so to speak living on the edge well I like living where I don't have the power to pull

146
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:40.680
it off but God does and when he does it I get to go woo thank you Lord and he shows up he's never

147
00:13:40.680 --> 00:13:47.800
not shown up and I want to encourage you especially some of you young people young people today are

148
00:13:47.800 --> 00:13:55.800
suffering social suicide because their lives have no challenge there's no there's no white knuckle

149
00:13:55.800 --> 00:14:00.840
moment in their lives there's something that they're they're not living on the edge I tell you what

150
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:06.200
you want to live you want to really feel your blood pumping I see people you do you see people jumping

151
00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:12.120
off a bridge with a with a rubber band on their ankle and then you ask them why are you doing that

152
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:21.160
how did it get a rush man it's living you want to live become a follower of Jesus for real

153
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.120
and live listen you can do it every day and you won't even have to have a rubber band tied to your

154
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:34.360
ankle it's a thrilling way to live and God shows up when we're weak and so He says bless those

155
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:41.560
who persecute you in Acts chapter 1 verse 8 the Bible says Jesus said it but you shall receive power

156
00:14:41.560 --> 00:14:46.840
when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and you shall be witnesses you have to circle that word

157
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:53.000
witnesses to me and Jerusalem and all Judean Samaria and to the end of the earth because that word

158
00:14:53.000 --> 00:15:00.520
witness is the Greek word martyrs it's where we get the word martyr Jesus said you'll go and be my

159
00:15:00.520 --> 00:15:04.600
martyr you said wouldn't it Jesus wants us to go to the go out to the end of the world and get

160
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:12.760
killed no he's saying every day that you live live for me not for you and that's how God would have

161
00:15:12.760 --> 00:15:19.480
us to live the persecution church families just part of Christian life and I know that in the west

162
00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:26.120
we have gotten away with it for several centuries here in America and I think it's pretty evident

163
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:32.040
if you look around that those days are evaporating our world is getting more hostile and more dark

164
00:15:32.040 --> 00:15:40.600
and more mean and listen it doesn't mean that God slipped off his throne that means that God

165
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:46.200
is getting his people ready all around the world for his great return and in the meantime we are

166
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:52.200
to live for him and we're to live for him in such a way that we do not have to defend our position

167
00:15:52.360 --> 00:16:02.840
we can say this the Bible says well why did you do it why do you say and why do you the Bible says

168
00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:10.360
you don't have to defend yourself you simply say the Bible says why do you have this particular

169
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:17.880
view about that particular thing because the Bible says and that's not deflecting that's not

170
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:24.040
haunting off the persecution under the Bible no that is exact opposite it's standing on the

171
00:16:24.040 --> 00:16:30.280
Bible you're representing the Word of God and you're saying I am no longer the one who's in charge

172
00:16:30.280 --> 00:16:36.200
here it's not about me it's about God I'm representing the Word of God by quoting the Word of God

173
00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:42.040
to you and my friend listen the Bible tells you that you shall not commit adultery and God

174
00:16:42.040 --> 00:16:49.080
loves you and you should stop that now he wants you to repent and come into his kingdom and people

175
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:59.400
will hate you for that they will hate you for that we need not defend ourselves stand for the

176
00:16:59.400 --> 00:17:03.800
Word of truth and when he says bless the means it means this it means to speak well of your

177
00:17:03.800 --> 00:17:09.800
persecutors that's what the word means speak well of them really that doesn't I don't know

178
00:17:09.800 --> 00:17:15.320
about you it doesn't come natural to me I first have my thoughts and then I have to repent of them

179
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:26.360
and then say Lord I need your thoughts to value them it's a remarkable thing and then also

180
00:17:26.360 --> 00:17:31.240
this the word persecute means this if we're going to be persecuted as believers and we shall be

181
00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:37.320
and we may be right now is that it means to be having the cause to flee or to run there's a reason

182
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:47.400
it means to be put to flight it means to be ostracized or marginalized so are you a Christian and

183
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:52.600
are you listen are you standing for Jesus and are you walking in the spirit and you know the word of

184
00:17:52.600 --> 00:17:57.560
God and you're you're doing your best to follow Christ but there are those maybe even in your own

185
00:17:57.560 --> 00:18:02.600
family that can't stand you because of your association with Jesus and the Bible says that when

186
00:18:02.600 --> 00:18:08.280
they persecute you they're going to be giving you the opportunity so to speak by their persecution

187
00:18:08.280 --> 00:18:13.640
that it's time to flee that it's time to run and sometimes it is the Bible says in first Peter

188
00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:23.960
chapter 2 verse 20 and what credit is it if when you are beaten for your faults and you take it

189
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:31.240
patiently well I mean that's people get beaten for their faults in this world but when you do

190
00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:37.880
good and suffer for you take it patiently this is commendable before God for to this you were

191
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:43.480
called because Christ also suffered for us leaving us an example that you should follow his steps

192
00:18:45.080 --> 00:18:52.760
wow you know this kind of talk will thin this church out if you're not a Bible student of God's

193
00:18:52.760 --> 00:18:58.920
word this is strong stuff you might say we'll pass through I brought my friend here to get saved

194
00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:03.320
today trust God because listen we're all going to die for something in this life

195
00:19:05.800 --> 00:19:07.560
I'd rather live and die for Jesus

196
00:19:10.760 --> 00:19:18.760
verse 22 who committed no sin that's Jesus never sinned nor was deceit found in his mouth who when

197
00:19:18.760 --> 00:19:24.680
he was reviled did not revile in return when he suffered he did not threaten but committed

198
00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:32.200
himself to him who judges righteously another words Jesus in the flesh showed us how God the father

199
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:38.760
comes through when we call upon him and when the Bible here says don't curse them the word means

200
00:19:38.760 --> 00:19:44.200
here it is wow okay this is conflicting am I busted or am I broken when I hear this the word

201
00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:51.560
do not curse them means do not bring a curse down upon them or listen do not speak in such a way

202
00:19:51.560 --> 00:19:59.480
that you damn them a word by word or speak in any way against them to misrepresent the kingdom of

203
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:06.040
God man again this is us being completely dependent upon the power of God

204
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:14.520
for us to deal with this is to have God so present in our lives and so much in control of us

205
00:20:14.520 --> 00:20:19.160
that there's a supernatural moment that the Lord takes over in our lives that we do not curse those

206
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:28.520
who are attacking us is it even possible yes it is possible then it happens all the time

207
00:20:31.080 --> 00:20:38.680
and Matthew chapter 10 verse 34 this is a shuckaroo and Matthew 10 34 people read this they

208
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:44.600
like what this is Jesus speaking he says do not think that I came to bring peace on earth

209
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:54.520
so what I did not come to bring peace but a sword watch this so what is this this is not the

210
00:20:54.520 --> 00:21:03.320
Jesus I know of let me keep reading he's not talking about pulling out a knife or a sword he's

211
00:21:03.320 --> 00:21:10.200
talking about division for I have come to set a man against his father and a daughter against

212
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:17.320
her mother and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law and a man's enemies will be those of

213
00:21:17.320 --> 00:21:23.640
his own household in context of that chapter 10 what does this mean Jesus says when the gospel

214
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:29.320
is preached to all people including those within the same house some of them will accept me some

215
00:21:29.320 --> 00:21:34.520
will reject me the moment that happens there will be a supernatural split that takes place in that

216
00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:40.520
and he said the mother-in-law the daughter-in-law will be completely divided they once maybe even

217
00:21:40.520 --> 00:21:45.560
got along before but all of a sudden because of me they'll be divided Jesus is saying there'll be

218
00:21:45.560 --> 00:21:51.960
those a father and a son everything's tracking fine in life and then the son accepts Christ

219
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:57.640
and all of a sudden the father can't stand the son and all of this division takes place and yet

220
00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:03.640
in the midst of it all the believer in the equation is to bless those who are his enemies
