00:00:00.000 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:01.900 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry because you're spending your
00:00:05.900 cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:10.740 Praise God for you and that endeavor.
00:00:13.860 However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16.380 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing.
00:00:19.000 And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24.160 that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star
00:00:29.980 review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36.560 We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.
00:00:42.360 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of
00:00:47.420 God. You're listening to Daily Truth. Evangelicals today in regards to what is a sheep, who is a
00:00:58.860 sheep i think we often think in terms of of conversion that someone was previously not 0.55
00:01:08.000 a sheep they were not a sheep belonging to christ and then they become they're transformed
00:01:14.500 transitioned into a sheep that is not the principle of the scripture that's not what the bible teaches
00:01:22.920 In salvation, in conversion, by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone,
00:01:30.900 a person does not become a sheep.
00:01:33.920 That person who is truly saved was always a sheep.
00:01:39.120 The difference in conversion is that they were once a lost sheep, but now are found.
00:01:45.900 They were outside of the fold, but have now been found by the great shepherd
00:01:51.560 and brought into his care so it's not that someone was a goat and in conversion has now been
00:02:00.920 transformed into a sheep it is that this person was always a sheep but they were once lost outside
00:02:09.360 of the fold but have now been gathered by the good shepherd the chief shepherd the great shepherd
00:02:15.080 and brought into the pen of security and safety.
00:02:20.420 Jesus says, my sheep know my voice.
00:02:24.520 They hear my voice.
00:02:26.800 They respond to the voice of the shepherd.
00:02:30.740 They come at his bidding. 1.00
00:02:32.500 And he speaks of the unbeliever
00:02:37.060 who is not merely unregenerate.
00:02:40.600 You and I, Ephesians chapter 2 says,
00:02:43.440 and such were some of you.
00:02:45.080 we were not physically born into this world as Christians.
00:02:50.100 We were not physically born in this world
00:02:53.000 as regenerate, saved individuals.
00:02:57.300 But we were always, if you are truly in Christ,
00:03:02.180 we were always his sheep.
00:03:05.100 There are some who are not merely unregenerate,
00:03:09.200 but will be saved and converted
00:03:11.360 by the power of the gospel later on.
00:03:13.560 lost sheep who will become found sheep.
00:03:17.320 No, there are also some who are the reprobate,
00:03:21.180 the non-elect,
00:03:23.600 who are not lost sheep,
00:03:26.800 soon to become found sheep.
00:03:29.020 No, they are not sheep at all.
00:03:32.200 They are goats.
00:03:33.920 They will never respond to the voice of the shepherd. 0.96
00:03:37.180 They hate the shepherd.
00:03:40.140 They respond to the voice of wolves.
00:03:43.560 Not the shepherd.
00:03:46.740 This is precisely what Jesus says in John chapter 10.
00:03:49.840 He said, I told you and you do not believe.
00:03:53.740 The works that I do in my Father's name, namely his miracles, bear witness about me.
00:04:00.620 They prove that I am exactly who I say I am.
00:04:04.680 But you do not believe.
00:04:06.940 Why?
00:04:08.100 Because there's not enough evidence.
00:04:09.820 because the preaching of Christ
00:04:12.540 is not persuasive enough
00:04:14.880 because raising Lazarus from the dead
00:04:19.280 a publicly verified miracle
00:04:22.200 is not convincing enough?
00:04:24.800 No.
00:04:25.940 You do not believe
00:04:27.320 because you are not among my sheep.
00:04:31.500 My sheep hear my voice
00:04:33.220 and I know them
00:04:34.780 and they follow me. 0.96
00:04:37.340 Jesus is speaking of sheep
00:04:39.120 not merely saying christians those who are already converted already born again already
00:04:46.960 regenerated with new hearts by the power of the holy spirit and endowed sovereignly by god with
00:04:52.280 the gifts of faith and repentance they are now sheep and therefore they now are able to hear my
00:04:58.500 voice and respond that's not what he's saying jesus is saying essentially that i am performing
00:05:05.320 mighty signs and wonders to a large audience, namely the people of Israel, to Jews and Gentiles
00:05:16.340 also, but primarily the people of Israel. I'm performing these signs and wonders in front of
00:05:22.760 thousands. Jesus fed the 5,000 men, easily 15, 20, 25,000 people. He also fed the 4,000. These are
00:05:32.680 two separate accounts. It is not a textual variant where the numbers are right in one account and
00:05:39.740 off in the other. No, Jesus did this miracle of multiplying food twice. And he did it not just
00:05:46.840 for a few dozen people in someone's living room. He did it on a mountain, on a hillside, outdoors,
00:05:54.600 where there were tens of thousands of people present twice.
00:06:00.820 And yet what Jesus is saying is that as he ministers with miracles,
00:06:05.360 signs and wonders, validating him as the Christ, as the Messiah,
00:06:10.420 validating his message, but also not just doing miracles, but preaching.
00:06:15.180 As Jesus preaches and teaches and performs signs and wonders,
00:06:19.880 none of this is done in a remote, obscure corner of the world.
00:06:24.100 These are publicly validated teachings,
00:06:28.760 preachings, and signs and wonders
00:06:31.540 seen by thousands of people.
00:06:34.300 And what Jesus is essentially saying is this,
00:06:37.840 that the only difference
00:06:40.200 in how people respond
00:06:42.420 to the public ministry of Jesus
00:06:44.700 is not because he does something convincing
00:06:48.040 for one group of people
00:06:49.540 and then something unconvincing for another.
00:06:53.300 It's not because one group of people were privy to Lazarus
00:06:58.120 and his resurrection and another group of people didn't see it.
00:07:02.940 No, it's not because one group of people gets the good sermons of Jesus,
00:07:08.360 Matthew 5, 6, and 7, the Sermon on the Mount,
00:07:10.960 and then somebody else got the Snickle Fritz.
00:07:13.340 That's not what's going on.
00:07:15.080 What's going on is this.
00:07:16.400 Everyone hears the same preaching, sees the same miracles.
00:07:20.600 some recognize him as the christ they hear his voice they come others reject him why
00:07:28.860 because some are sheep and some are goats some are sheep and some are goats can i be frank with
00:07:37.880 you for just a second right here at the end look some of you guys you're financially supporting
00:07:42.780 this ministry and from the bottom of my heart i say thank you i cannot thank you enough however
00:07:49.740 some of you, you just, you can't afford it. In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it.
00:07:56.200 Let's be honest. I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation and our 0.91
00:08:02.980 totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID. We have
00:08:11.380 written checks that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the definition
00:08:17.240 of a recession. We are living in a recession right now regardless. Some of you are struggling
00:08:24.200 to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store. You cannot support financially this ministry at
00:08:31.220 this time, nor should you, but you could still help us tremendously. I am asking you, please,
00:08:38.540 if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time. Leave us a five-star review on your
00:08:44.840 favorite podcast platform, iTunes, Spotify, whatever that might be, this is the way the
00:08:50.960 system works. We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers. We need to be strategic.
00:08:58.040 You leave us a five-star review, and our podcast shows up for more people. And the Word of God
00:09:04.080 and courageous theology applied in practical ways to every realm of life gets out there.
00:09:11.880 Help us get it out there. Thanks for tuning in.
00:09:14.840 You
