Say today, we got me thinking about Barrios and alienation area is divided people. They alienate people they separate people and throughout history walls and barriers and people have been dividing living alienating. They've been separating. I wonder if you can name any of these Bulls anyone they miss wool.
Baltimore Frankie this one Massacre us absolutely the truck Transport Direct this one.
Yep, great, is that stream old dungeons in Scotland and stained the month for every Mile and along the Hadrian's Wall boundary good history lesson.
Good. I was just acting talent in 1871. There's a French archaeologists this you discover this Limestone slab with a 7 line warning inscription is originally from the Jewish temple in Jerusalem. Aunt in Greek translation in English read this no Foreigner is to enter within the railing and enclosure around the temple. Trevor is cool. We'll be responsible to himself for his subsequent death.
Call Mason boxing plaque.
You see the threesome Temple by the cheese runs with the place where I got symbolically 12 where he lived on earth. I just want to get close to God that's scary to the temple as you want. If you were a foreigner, you couldn't get into the temple proper means the courtyards outside. It looks a bit like God wasn't accessible for those who want parts of the Jewish people. That's what it look like. The sun has keep out and he died. What language is Greek as I mentioned on the Greek word used have for the word Foreigner, which is a loud noise is used in the Bible as well as once in the whole Bible right here in a section it we're about to read everything for an account of the account of Jesus's life. And Rachel is going to be stressed. I think of the blue Bibles verse 11. That's a big number 17 on the little number 11. I'm just before we. I'll just give them to you as to what's going on. Jesus's interacting with a group of people here after the account focuses on one particular person. He's a foreigner and he's disease. I'm thirsty sings Me and he's no good in the eyes of the Jewish people. I need a section. We're about to wreak we read of a condition called leprosy meaning of it, but it was some type of skin disease or separated and divided from the rest of the people people were sent away from the towns that they lived in a record on chin and others avoid them because they didn't want to become antonym selves in a mistake move this guy faces. Maleficent reforma slip-on little leopards community and that's where Jesus comes across them. Just now that's read from Luke chapter 17 verses 11 through 19. Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee as he was going into a village 10 men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and coals out in a loud voice Jesus Master have pity on us when he sold them. He said Go and show yourselves to the priests and I'll stay went they were cleansed one of them when he saw he was healed came back praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus's feet on sanctum and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked when not sold 10 cleansed, where are the other nine was no one found to Richard and give praise to God except this far enough. Then he said to him rise and go your faith has made you well.

Chinese letters this Griffith 10 letters are alienated is a great separation between them and everyone else and has a great separation between them and God I can go to the temple to worship Him. Sorry to hear about this guy called Jesus. Maybe they had about and heating another letter and now he's here walking past them a shout from a distance. Jesus monster have mercy will have pity on us.
I plead hoping against all hopes that this Jesus that heard about will live up to his name. What do you have compassion? We need help him.
Let's pause for a minute that are in different situations. Only who you feel alienated from. What divisions are there in your life between you and the people around you?
The Bible speaks of one great division bigger than any fully ounce will device it. Even the not of the Berlin wall that we saw earlier. And the Bible speaks of it like this. Once you are connected from God enemies in your minds because of your evil Behavior.
A dimension from God is severe. Even more severe than these lapis alienation from the temple and their families and their friends. And this account is a little picture. All the separation that we as humans or experience from God. I miss this bus here tells us the reason for that. It's because of all evil Behavior.
Now that what may come across as a little horse to Someone Like You Evil sure there are some people in the world who are evil Hitler now, but me. My friends my family can be ridiculous.
Bob insane bro like Hitler but it is saying that we all have fallen short of God's standard. I can look at myself and see that playing out clearly. My selfishness is bogus and all sorts of sonorous. Think about this with me. Imagine every single thing you haven't done in your life was filmed and every single thought in your head was recorded. Then someone uploaded a summary on Facebook family and friends to see. Ian steere on with your closest friends for dinner at a time and one of them Sports this video online. They can't play on your life starts to play out in front of your eyes and realize of all your choices friends. That would certainly be made me so I was proud of absolutely. Black say at the second Road on. I want to run out rim. Full face closest to me can see the darkness of my heart play itself out. on screen I want to run away because of that shame that dirty feeling of Shame. How would you feel if I were you?
the Bible tells us that God knows every thought we have and every action we've done every word we say As a perfect God, he simply cannot be in the presence of people like me people like you. We are all unclean in his eyes. And so we Face a great separation at Great 8 Innovation. We were made in relationship with God but we are aliens that the cause of all evil Behavior humans are ultimately profound a dissatisfied. Living the lights we are made for because we are separated from the true life Giver the purpose of it all. Maybe the space itself out in all Fulton or apathy in work or dissatisfaction life in general may be with you?
Or perhaps we just pushed it to the back of the head sweep it under the rug and try to live in denial open. But that doesn't change the truth. We are alienated from God. Big O Priya maple
Woody's Liquors new alienation felt like desperate to get help. They want Jesus to remove that separation from dogs and other people. Jesus Monster High Pitch you on us
What would Jesus do? Why is response initially looked it up? Last 14U says show yourself to the priest. What are you doing right now? Weight-wise in this tool tied into the old Jewish laws involving they affected by this condition by the skin disease by leprosy the affected after the disease had been healed on the temple to worship go up. Kiss your thing. Jesus tells these lepers to go to the priests and do something which is only to be done once they got back.
31 battery that's 14 as they went. They were cleansed Jesus heal these letters and he sent them away.
It's important to realize that this condition wasn't just a simple sports or if you guys are scarring this disease that they had was significant enough and chronic enough that they form the Village People. This is chronic and say this healing this distance healing Jesus performs to answer that Cry 4 Pets. He is mighty and Powerful Act of compassion.
And this is why the account focuses in on this one guy the one who returned old time wear heels, but anyone returns to Jesus. See if she responds to Jesus life changing healing. best 15 what happen when you saw he was healed came back praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus feet and thanked him and he was a Samaritan. This guy is overjoyed and he sees in order to give praise to God for what he's done. He needs to return to Jesus. three froze himself as Jesus's feet he worships God if he does that and he recognizes who Jesus is a joint.
Jesus is the one that the Jewish people are waiting for. The one who is coming to up to destroy the barrier that alienation that we will face from God meaning we can be in relationship with him that can be restored. I'm this man is no longer alienated. The writer Lake highlights. How double incredible this was an unclean letter and unclean Samaritan double elimination double restoration. They were like the and despised by the tree people. The race came about after the Assyrians and another Empire captured in about 7:20 BC and some juice stay behind and intermarried with producing the Samaritans. They were hated by The Truth full cheese. They were regarded as foreigners and Jews were not even to speak to them elsewhere in the Bible. Do you want a photo to be surprising? It's Good Samaritan is completely absurd to have a stew you describing the same person. Swetnick reveals. This guy is a Samaritan. And the leper we see the extent of his previous double-elimination. I'm relationally unclean I see the visual picture of the reversal of the separation both fancy dresses Jesus in a loud voice. He says they stood at a distance and cold out in a loud voice. Jesus monster have pity on us. And then as I healed man when he saw he was killed he came back praising God in a loud voice and he threw himself at Jesus feet and thanked him as a lot. He's a distance as a teen man. He's at his feet. animation destroyed this Lapras Samaritan recognize God's power in Christ returns to Jesus as the one who exercise that power what happened to the other one is clear from the three rhetorical questions that Jesus our sin verses 17 to 18. There's knowing ones where they were meant to be. The first question 10 cleanse. Yes experience.
Second question. Where are the other nine? I don't hear the answer that question has no one returned to give praise to God except this Foreigner. only him Ernie The Foreigner Maybe it's good Orthodox Jews. These other nine cap gains the priests thinking it was the priests that turns them. But Jesus makes it clear. The expected on the correct response to that partial restoration was to return to Jesus and to praise God.
You can't praise God without praising Jesus. Jesus is God. I needn't have the faith in who he was and who he is. Miracle in our lives was meant to point them to who Jesus is been said that ignore the good things that he's giving them and he's done for them and they just got on with life. In faith, this one guy pretends to Jesus and sees that he's the one who's responsible from healing. Angie has commenced a guy who returns then he said to him rise and go your faith has made you well. But what made you well in the original language?
Translate I say too many places in Luke's gospel. Yes, we just healed but the other man got the nine. What happens to him? It's not just the physical hitting the other nine received, but it's all say forgiveness. Hedonism self from God
it's restoration to relationship with him. You saved by faith in Jesus. Luke us you may recognize the women bleeding with what you just come to us and he will say it again, but you saved them by faith. Each of these people responded in faith to Jesus and he saves them. This account is another in the factory of stories in which God's saving King Jesus Rescues the most unlikely your people a Samaritan leper double alienation on this account highlights the difference between exposure to Jesus the nine. I'm receiving him by faith. That's one Samaritan. Each person faces a choice each one of us has a decision.
Which one will I be? All of us here are exposed to the passion of Jesus. Let me hear about him as you think about him asking me people who believe in him and said there's a choice that each of us has to make. Will I go on being happy with me exposure to Jesus? Tasting a little of a goodness that he brings to my life. Pumpkinhead, I hope City boost my morale the community makes me feel loved and welcomed. Maybe I enjoy the singing or let the cake off to the Gathering Israel good things, especially the cake. Thank you for those who make you?
I'm outside of this building old people live in a world created by God the same by God. We are all exposed to God's goodness and his Mercy.
Femi-nazi, the correct response highlighted here is only by praising God through Jesus by coming to Jesus just like this one guy. He returns to him. The only right response bullying at his feet. I'm praising God shows that he recognized Jesus as Savior from God. Only one out of 10 as a mountain leopard. Which hands to recognize Jesus as the true healer the true savior? Is there anyone remove Scott sense of alienation from God and other people easy anyone who can make you clean? Like this like it was made scene. So the question is will you for his feet and worship him?
Apps you already done that stops. You would say your faith is in Jesus. We write a sentence from elsewhere in the Bible. Alia explaining why we are a gift from God that the writer describes those who have faith in him. Once you get from God enemies in your minds because of your evil Behavior.
But now he has reconciled You by Christ physical body through that represent you holy in his sight without blemish and free from accusation how wonderful is that? I miss Samaritan has a great lessons teach. There's lots we do have that Faith by the way that he responds to Jesus. He threw himself at Jesus's feet and thanked him.
This is the correct response to being made clean by Jesus to be restored from alienation from God save relationship with him. What are posture of gratitude Adidas feet? I want to have a phone we do praise and thank Jesus for this reversal in opposition. This isn't simply as you might thank the bus driver as you get off the bus.
This whole haunted praise and thanksgiving. Is is absolute to the one who is cleansing? If you believe in Jesus as your savior and Lord, you have been rescued from alienation and brought close to God. You can enjoy every spiritual blessing in him. You have everlasting hope because of him your paws selfishness at the lights clean and you are dropped into his family. You are free from accusation.
That's not take that for granted. I find it. So so easy to be complacent. I forgot I didn't deserve any of that. That's Bill Paxton's into our lives that remind us to come to Jesus and praise him as good falling at his feet and worshipping him. I'm going to think more about how that might look in the evening gathering at later on.
Jesus is making his way to watch Jerusalem. He wouldn't be walking towards his death to bring people back from that a tenation with broken ourselves. And by dying in this way. Jesus says he was taking the place that we deserved the punishment that we should receive for walking away from God. International restoration from the alienation From got to be a chosen.
That Temple that we talked about Roy to the beginning contains a huge cutting inside. Cousin It separated alienated people from the symbolic presence of God it was from a perfect. I see just died on a hill nearby eyewitness accounts stay there. This custom is torn in two from top to bottom. Houston just restore this guy. the relationship with God Your music to my soul. It's like lyrics. Carson a way for us to so we can know him so we can live the life. We were designed to live no more animation Separation by him. Restored to relationship with him. Going to sing a song in response to what we just had said about the band up now.
Why not take it as an opportunity? To reflect on this account is seen about Jesus looked at and what it means for you. Feel free to sing along with us or just listen. lost words of the song all these how do you spell forms as you draw me close? In you what was lost is restored.
Jesus Joseph place No longer a meaning of asteroid by him.
