But let's get into this. Let's start off in verse 1. We're going to watch the Pharisees headhunt Jesus right now. Once again, it's on the Sabbath.
He says, Rubbing them in their hands. But some of the Pharisees said, why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath? So they would consider anything work. Like if you picked your own food just to eat, that was work. And so you couldn't work on the Sabbath. It was the day of rest according to the Mosaic and Old Testament law. So these Pharisees are like, what are you doing?
You're sinning. And Jesus answered them, So right now, Jesus is like, you guys don't really know your scripture like you say you do. These Pharisees were like all about the outward appearance. We're so holy. We know scriptures better. You do look, we fast and you guys don't. And they're like, well, what do you think you're doing? And Jesus goes, well, actually, do you guys not remember when David
did something that he wasn't supposed to do. He ate bread that not normal human beings are supposed to touch, only the priests are. And then Jesus says something else. He says, the Son of Man is Lord on the Sabbath. We see that title again that is given to the Messiah in Daniel 7. He's like, I'm the Messiah that's spoken of in Daniel 7. He says, the Son of Man is Lord on the Sabbath.
Jesus saying this is saying, look, I'm the one that people do Sabbath for. And I'm not offended by my disciples' actions. Them feeding themselves right now, I'm not offended by them. So he's saying, look, I'm the Lord of this day that you guys rest for. And what they're doing does not offend me. And I think that's such a powerful scripture.
And now we're about to see Jesus do something again on another Sabbath. It goes on another Sabbath. He entered the synagogue and was teaching. And a man there... whose right hand was withered. And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath so that they might find a reason to accuse him. But he knew their thoughts.

Chapter 2: What live podcast event is Bryce promoting?
Simon, who he named Peter, Andrew his brother, James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon, who was called the Zealot, and Judas, the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
And he came down with them and stood on a level place with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured and all the crowd sought to touch him for power came out of him and healed them all.
Jesus Christ is meeting the multitude's spiritual needs and physical needs. The power of God is showing up and he's saying, look, I didn't come here just to heal your physical needs. I came here to heal your heart and draw you closer to me, intimacy with me. And we're about to watch Jesus actually give some of the Beatitudes here in Luke 6 that he does in Matthew 5. He gives a few.
He says he lifted up his eyes on his disciples and says, Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
Blessed are those who are spiritually bankrupt, those who recognize that they can't rely on themselves to achieve salvation, to heal the hole in their heart, but they need someone or something outside of themselves to heal their heart, to save them from the hopelessness and the sickness of sin. He says, blessed are those who can acknowledge that theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
And that's step one, acknowledging to set aside your pride and saying, man, I need someone or something outside of myself to save me right now. Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. Everyone's hungry for something. And when we wake up, Psalm 63 actually says it doesn't matter if you were crying the night before in worship.
It doesn't matter how close you felt the night before to God in worship or prayer. Then every morning when you wake up, you're in a dry and thirsty land, as Psalm 63 says. And you've got to plow that ground. We're always hungry for something. And what do we often do in the mornings? We fill it with our phone.
We wake ourselves up with our phone and then we're feeding ourselves with the opinion of man and then our entire day is dictated off of man and the world and then we're frustrated easier and then we're quick to speak and slow to listen and all the opposites of what Jesus tells us. where he says, no, everyone's hungry. And he says, for you shall be satisfied.
And he says, look, if you hunger for the things of God, you shall be satisfied. Jeremiah 29, 13 says, you will seek me and find me if you seek me with your whole heart. And Revelation tells us that Jesus is knocking on the door of our heart, eager to come in and meet with us and dine with us. But this is also a dangerous warning. Blessed are those who hunger, for they shall be satisfied.

Chapter 3: What do the Pharisees accuse Jesus of?
And finally they find out everyone blows up. You're treating them with a grudge because you know something about them that they're doing and yet they're treating you the same and they're acting like it's not going on. Well, Jesus Christ knows every nasty thing that you've ever done and you ever will do. Yet he proceeds to set aside the grudge and love us graciously no matter what.
Look at Judas Iscariot. Even Jesus Christ knew that Judas would betray him, yet he served him equally. He showed no partiality to him because he was going to betray him. He washed his feet, served him and loved him as if he didn't know he was going to betray him. It's a powerful thing. Powerful thing. And Jesus teaches something that the world teaches us the opposite of.
The world says, hey, when someone hits you, you hit them back harder. An eye for an eye. You got to get back. Give them what they deserve. Karma, what goes around comes around. Jesus is saying, no, we're not doing that. He says, if someone hits you on the cheek, give them the other one. Don't return evil for evil. He says, give people good when they give you evil.
If someone takes your cloak, give them your tunic as well. Don't give them a chance. Because here's the reality. When we react out of the flesh as Christians, when we, with our mouth, say we're Christian, but we act out of the flesh, we misrepresentate Jesus to people. We misrepresent people to Jesus.
And then because we misrepresent Jesus to people, then people get a bad taste in their mouth about Christianity and God. When in reality, Jesus is showing no partiality. He'd turn the other cheek. So we have to listen to what Jesus Christ is saying. He's saying, give to everyone who begs from you. And from one who takes away your goods, do not demand them back.
And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. And then he gives a challenge here. He says, if you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from...
And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners to get back the same amount. So Jesus is saying, man, it's easy for anyone to just be nice to people that are nice to them. It's easy to just do favors for people that do favors for you.
Because it gets challenging to serve people knowing that you're not going to get anything in return. It's challenging to love people knowing that they may never love you back. It's challenging to do these things. But when we do these things, how do we do these things? How can we love our enemies? How can we serve those and expect nothing in return?
Well, we need the power of the Spirit of God to give us the strength because we're selfish human beings. We can't do it on our own. And then he closes that passage out with, But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. And your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.

Chapter 4: How does Jesus respond to the Pharisees' accusations?
It's impossible for a bad tree to bear good fruit. He says, you can't be in the middle. You can't sit on the fence. You're either all in or you're all out. There's no such, like I know the Bible talks about lukewarm. You're neither cold nor hot. But Jesus here is saying like, there's no middle ground in the kingdom of heaven. Like you're all in for me or you're all out is what he's saying.
For each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
The way we can acknowledge false prophets, acknowledge if teaching is from God, acknowledge anything from God is checking the fruit on the tree. And oftentimes we like to label people as false prophets and false teachers just because we don't like the package that the message was delivered in.
But I would argue with you, Jesus doesn't say it's about whether the tree blows to this way in the wind or this way in the wind, whether they're a charismatic or whether they're a Baptist. It's does it bear good fruit or not? Does the tree bear good fruit or not? How do we know what fruit is good fruit?
Well, Galatians 5 says that the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are the people that are claiming to be from God, bearing the fruit that Jesus would bear on the earth. And we challenge that. Are they bearing scriptural fruit? And then they say something very important here.
It says, out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks. And I think that that personal statement can even be applied in today's society, which I want to talk about briefly for a second. It's like...
Man, I've caught myself so many times making jokes about things that I've struggled with or jokes about things that I'm having a hard time with or maybe I'm going through a rough patch in my life and I oftentimes like to mend the bridge with comedy and make jokes about it. I'm oftentimes realizing that the reason it's coming out of my mouth, I'm joking about it, is because I'm deeply hurting.
Out of the mouth comes the abundance of the heart. Like I'm making jokes because I'm hurting inside. And I need the spirit of God to mend me. And so I think we need to be careful. And I think that's why Jesus says, be slow to speak. Because out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. We've got to be careful. And we got the last passage here to close it out.
And I think it's so powerful as well. Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and not do what I tell you? Whoa, that is huge. That is a huge rebuke here. A lot of people want to say, yeah, I'm Christian. Yeah, I'm a Christian. I do this. I do that. But they don't listen to the commandments of Jesus. Jesus says, if you love me, you'll obey my commandments. Not in a religious cage of rules way.
