Time Stamp	Transcript
0:29	the holy Gospel According to Saint Luke
0:31	Chapter 4 verses 31-44
0:35	and he went down to Capernaum a city of
0:37	Galilee and he was teaching them on the
0:39	Sabbath they were astonished at his
0:42	teaching for his word possessed
0:43	Authority and in the synagogue there was
0:46	a man who had the spirit of an unclean
0:48	demon and he cried out with a loud voice
0:50	ha what have you to do with us Jesus of
0:53	Nazareth have you come to destroy us I
0:57	know who you are you’re the Holy One of
0:59	God
1:00	but Jesus rebuked him saying be silent
1:02	and come out of him
1:03	and when the demon had thrown him down
1:05	in their midst he came out of him having
1:08	done him no harm and they were all
1:10	amazed and said to one another what is
1:12	this word for with authority and power
1:15	He commands the unclean spirits and they
1:17	come out and reports about him went out
1:19	into every place in the surrounding
1:21	region and he rose and left the
1:24	synagogue and entered Simon’s house now
1:26	Simon’s mother-in-law was Ill with a
1:28	high fever
1:29	and they appealed to him on her behalf
1:31	and he stood over her and rebuked the
1:34	fever and it left her and immediately
1:36	she Rose and began to serve them now
1:39	when the sun was setting all those who
1:41	had any who were sick with various
1:43	diseases brought them to him and he laid
1:46	his hands on every one of them and
1:47	healed them and the demons also came out
1:49	of many crying you are the Son of God
1:52	but he rebuked them and would not allow
1:54	them to speak because they knew that he
1:56	was the Christ and when it was day he
1:59	departed and went into a desolate place
2:01	and all the people sought him and came
2:02	to him and would have kept him from
2:04	leaving them but he said to them I must
2:06	preach the good news of the kingdom of
2:08	God to the other towns as well for I was
2:10	sent for this purpose and as he was
2:13	preaching and and he was preaching in
2:15	the synagogues of Judea
2:17	in the name of Jesus
2:22	so some people are saying
2:24	oddly so that the Great Tribulation
2:27	begins in March of this year I wish I
2:29	was making this up but it’s absolutely
2:30	true there’s people out there engaging
2:33	in prognostications regarding the end
2:35	times saying that the Great Tribulation
2:37	begins in March to this I say paw it
2:40	began when the latest presidential
2:43	candidate election season began it has
2:46	been tribulation the whole time the news
2:48	has been just difficult to bear and the
2:50	reason I beating this up is because I
2:52	don’t know if you have noticed this
2:53	about politicians but they have a
2:55	tendency to say words that never follow
2:58	up with actions it’s as if this is an
3:01	entire year long where we get to hear
3:03	all these wonderful words of what so and
3:06	so is going to do when he or she assumes
3:08	office in the presidency and we all know
3:11	that the words that they’re telling us
3:14	foreign
3:17	they’re just telling us what we want to
3:19	hear so that when we go to the polls in
3:21	November we will pick their name and
3:23	pull the lever so that they can go to
3:26	the White House right we know this about
3:28	politicians it’s this wonderful fiction
3:30	that we’ve set up they tell us what we
3:32	want to hear we vote them into office
3:34	and then they proceed to do whatever
3:36	they want
3:38	right
3:39	yeah in other words the words of
3:42	politicians don’t really have all that
3:45	much
3:47	um value maybe a good way to say it
3:49	remember
3:51	um what was it uh that George Bush the
3:53	first George Bush in office said read my
3:55	lips no new taxes
3:58	well that campaign promise didn’t last
4:00	very long did it yeah maybe he should
4:03	read my lips no new taxes the first year
4:05	I’m in office
4:06	now the reason I bring all this up is
4:10	because today in our text our Old
4:12	Testament and Our Gospel texts
4:15	we see that God’s words
4:17	are very different than the words of men
4:20	and politicians
4:21	when God speaks something happens
4:26	The Words of Christ have authority and
4:28	that’s kind of our theme for today so if
4:30	you would turn back with me to Jeremiah
4:32	chapter one we’re going to walk through
4:34	our Old Testament text to set the
4:36	foundation for our theme today as we
4:39	look at our gospel text in Jeremiah
4:41	chapter 1
4:43	starting at verse 4 it says this now the
4:46	word of the Lord came to me the me there
4:47	is Jeremiah saying before I formed you
4:50	in the womb I knew you before you were
4:53	born I consecrated you and I appointed
4:56	you a prophet to the Nations by the way
4:59	there’s so much we could talk about here
5:00	notice that apparently even unborn yet
5:05	conceived children
5:07	have value in the eyes of God right
5:10	so I think that unborn children even
5:12	today still have value in the eyes of
5:14	God but also consider the implications
5:16	of this where is Jeremiah’s free will
5:19	doesn’t seem to exist poor little
5:21	Jeremiah when he was growing up people
5:23	would ask him Jeremiah what do you want
5:25	to be when you grow up well it says well
5:27	I wanted to be a fireman but God
5:28	consecrated me before I was formed in
5:31	the womb and appointed me to be a
5:32	prophet for the nation so what I want to
5:34	be when I grow up really doesn’t matter
5:36	God’s going to have his way with me
5:38	he could have said that could he not
5:40	right
5:42	so I appointed you the Lord says Prophet
5:45	to the Nations even before he’s born and
5:48	then I said oh Lord God behold I don’t
5:51	know how to speak for I’m only a youth
5:54	oh that’s not going to work either here
5:57	we’ve heard Moses give similar
5:59	complaints to God but the Lord said to
6:01	me do not say I’m only a youth
6:03	for to All To whom I send you you shall
6:07	go and whatever I command you you shall
6:12	speak do not be afraid of them
6:15	for I am with you to deliver you
6:17	declares the Lord
6:19	yeah in other words the fact that he’s a
6:21	youth at the time of his calling to be a
6:23	prophet
6:25	that does not cause God to say whoa well
6:28	wait a minute here yeah I guess you’re
6:30	right no God says nope don’t worry about
6:32	it I’m sending you and don’t be afraid
6:35	about what you’re going to speak because
6:37	I’m going to give you words to speak oh
6:40	and by the way Jeremiah this is going to
6:42	be a rough gig the reason I say that is
6:45	because well I’m sending you to a bunch
6:47	of people who are steeped in idolatry
6:49	steeped in sin they do not listen to my
6:52	words and so when I give you words to
6:56	speak they’re going to get angry at you
6:58	you can almost hear Jeremiah saying
7:00	please don’t shoot the messenger
7:02	right
7:04	I’m only telling you what God told me to
7:06	tell you
7:07	so then the Lord put his hand and he
7:09	touched my mouth this is similar to what
7:11	we see happening with the great vision
7:13	in Isaiah 6 where you know Isaiah goes
7:16	to heaven and says oh I’m undone I’ve
7:18	seen the Holy One of Israel and then the
7:20	angel come and grabs one of the one of
7:22	the Embers from the fire touches his
7:24	lips and says this your sins have been
7:26	atoned for very similar words going on
7:28	here you’ll notice here then the Lord
7:29	put out his hand whoa whoa whoa when
7:31	does God have hands
7:34	God has whatever he wants whenever he
7:37	needs it but but this was before Jesus
7:39	was born of the Virgin Mary do you think
7:41	our understanding of time has any
7:43	bearing on God’s understanding of time
7:46	right notice what it says so then the
7:49	Lord said to me behold I’ve put my words
7:51	in your mouth who’s God’s
7:55	see I set you
7:56	this day over Nations over kingdoms to
7:59	pluck up and to break down to destroy
8:01	and to overthrow
8:02	to pluck up and break down and overthrow
8:04	to build and to plant but you dress
8:07	yourself for work arise and say to them
8:09	everything that I have commanded you oh
8:12	and don’t be dismayed by them lest I
8:14	dismay you before them yeah it’s as if
8:17	God really understood what poor Jeremiah
8:20	was going to be up against it’s kind of
8:22	like well let’s say that we decide that
8:24	we’re going to send you to go swimming
8:26	in the ocean and what we’re really going
8:28	to do here is we’re going to slap some
8:30	red meat on you right rather than the
8:32	scuba tank we’ll throw some pork you
8:34	know pork loin and maybe some you know
8:35	big you know Brown steaks on your back
8:38	and tie you up and just throw you in the
8:40	water and Chum it with blood right this
8:42	is the this is with the context into
8:45	which Jeremiah steps in to preach the
8:47	words of God and proclaim the word of
8:50	the Lord to Israel and so knowing how
8:52	dangerous this is God says to Jeremiah
8:55	listen don’t be afraid of them
8:58	be afraid of me
9:00	focus on me not them
9:02	my words are going to do what I sent
9:05	them to do but you dress yourself rise
9:08	don’t be dismayed by them lest I dismay
9:10	you before them and behold I make you
9:12	this day a fortified City an iron pillar
9:14	and bronze walls against the whole land
9:17	and against the kings of Judah it’s
9:18	officials its priests and the people of
9:20	the land they will fight against you
9:23	but they shall not Prevail against you
9:25	for I Am with You declares the Lord
9:28	to deliver you
9:30	and is this exactly what happened
9:32	exactly what happened why because when
9:35	God speaks things happen
9:37	you remember how the universe was
9:40	created there was Darkness
9:43	chaos over the Deep the dough the boat
9:46	the tohu of bohu there in the Hebrew
9:49	right and God says let there be light
9:52	could there be Darkness anymore for
9:53	another Split Second of course not as
9:56	soon as God says it acts now here’s the
9:59	idea here
10:00	God’s word is performative it has
10:04	Authority When God says it’s this it’s
10:08	that When God says this is going to
10:09	happen you know what’s going to happen
10:10	that’s going to happen
10:12	period God doesn’t lie his word
10:15	accomplishes the thing to which he sends
10:17	it out to do
10:19	and so when we come back to our gospel
10:20	text in Luke chapter 4 verse 31 keep in
10:24	mind who it is that we’re tracking with
10:26	right now Jesus is none other than the
10:30	word of God made flesh
10:32	right that’s what John 1 1 says in the
10:35	beginning was the word
10:37	the word was with God and the Word was
10:39	God
10:40	the word became flesh so here we have
10:43	the word of God in human flesh and he’s
10:46	going to go to church now granted back
10:49	then they didn’t call it church and they
10:51	met on Saturday rather than Sunday but
10:53	it was church nonetheless this was the
10:55	Gathering of those who believe it says
10:58	this he Jesus went down to Capernaum
11:01	a city of Galilee
11:03	and he was teaching them on the Sabbath
11:05	Saturday and they were astonished at his
11:08	teaching for his word possessed
11:12	Authority literal translation the word
11:15	of him possessed Authority
11:18	it’s a little stiff in the English but
11:20	it really makes the point his word
11:23	had authority Jesus didn’t teach like
11:25	anybody they had ever heard the rabbis
11:27	in the synagogue they kind of preached
11:28	like this well as we look at this text
11:31	in the prophet Isaiah Rabbi Shiva he
11:34	interpreted it this way and told me
11:36	about it this way and of course we all
11:37	know that Rabbi Shiva studied under
11:39	Rabbi Eleazar and Rabbi Eliezer he
11:41	learned his stuff from Moses this I
11:44	always have to footnote everything no
11:45	Rabbi would speak on his own authority
11:47	Jesus on the other hand he gets up and
11:49	he says things like what we hear in The
11:52	Sermon on the Mount you have heard it
11:53	said but I say you have heard it said
11:56	but I say this is authority Jesus is
12:00	speaking with authority he’s doing this
12:02	and the people in the synagogue are
12:03	going whoa his word
12:07	possesses Authority indeed it does
12:11	and now keep in mind all right we all
12:15	like to think that the devil is really
12:17	hard at work out there you know in
12:20	Hollywood maybe in Washington D.C places
12:23	are loaded with demons right think of
12:25	Las Vegas it’s just got to be teeming
12:27	with demons
12:28	paw
12:30	why would the devil spend all of his
12:32	time trying to deceive people he’s
12:34	already deceived and already has
12:36	right
12:38	do you think of it this way if we’re at
12:41	War okay where are we going to station
12:44	most of our soldiers where are their
12:47	efforts going to be focused on the front
12:49	line right taking enemy territory
12:53	those places that we already have under
12:55	our Dominion let me put a couple of guys
12:58	there and you know pretty much leave it
13:00	alone right so where is the devil most
13:02	active then if he wants to take ground
13:04	from the enemy answer
13:07	Church
13:09	devil never leaves Church alone and we
13:13	read in this story
13:15	that there was a man who had
13:18	an unclean demon
13:21	now before you sit there and say whoa
13:22	whoa wait a second are you are you
13:23	saying the demons are real
13:25	yeah
13:27	what’s the text say
13:29	right
13:30	the text says there was a man who had an
13:32	unclean demon
13:34	he came into church nobody knew the guy
13:37	was demon possessed nobody had any idea
13:40	at all
13:41	and let me ask you this what is the
13:43	devil always attacking
13:45	answer the word of God do you remember
13:48	the attack in the Garden of Eden the
13:51	attack in the Garden of Eden what does
13:52	the devil say first words did God really
13:56	say
13:58	oh the devil knows
14:00	that the word of the Lord
14:02	possesses Authority and has power
14:05	so the thing he’s got to get you off of
14:08	is the word of God well this poor guy in
14:11	the synagogue who was demon-possessed
14:12	the demon could could stand it no more
14:17	oh my goodness all of this work that
14:19	I’ve been doing in this synagogue
14:20	deceiving this people Jesus comes and
14:23	shows up and it’s all just disappearing
14:25	right before my eyes like a snowfall in
14:28	June right
14:30	and so the demon can’t help but do what
14:32	he does next and it’s very important you
14:35	pay attention to the details here
14:37	so the guy literally stands up and the
14:40	guy and the demon cries out and here’s
14:43	what he says ha now the ESV says this
14:46	what have you to do with us Jesus of
14:48	Nazareth not bad but let me clean it up
14:51	a little bit because they try to make it
14:53	understandable in the English let me go
14:54	back and give you the literal
14:55	translation here’s what he literally
14:57	said ha what have we to do with you
15:01	Jesus of Nazareth have you come to
15:04	destroy us and then he says I know who
15:08	you are the Holy One of God
15:10	which then begs the question what’s this
15:12	we stuff
15:13	what’s this us stuff right what is this
15:16	demon referring to now it’s very easy
15:19	for us to conflate and think well this
15:21	is like the demoniac and the garascenes
15:24	the guy who’s living in the tombs who
15:26	had the Legion of demons right so that
15:28	we and the US has to refer to other
15:30	demons oh not so
15:33	that’s not what’s going on here now to
15:36	help us understand this I’ve decided
15:38	that we’re going to for the sake of
15:40	argument recreate the scene of the crime
15:42	if you would okay so if I would like you
15:45	to imagine that it’s Any Given Sunday
15:47	here at Kong’s Binger I’m up here
15:49	preaching about Christ and proclaiming
15:52	to the word of God and right in the
15:54	middle of my sermon this happens
15:57	what have you to do with us
16:00	Pastor Roseboro have you come to
16:02	kungsbringer here to stir up a lot of
16:05	trouble ah
16:07	see you can have a seat yeah I won’t
16:10	rebuke the demon because I believe he’s
16:12	not deemed obsessed but now notice okay
16:14	if somebody stood up in the middle of my
16:16	sermon and did that
16:18	all right
16:21	what do his words tell you
16:24	is going on
16:26	he’s standing up as one of you one of
16:29	the members of the congregation
16:31	basically what he’s trying to do is cast
16:33	doubt on the word that I’m bringing to
16:35	you this is exactly what’s happening in
16:37	this text the demon stands up ha what
16:40	have we to do with you Jesus of Nazareth
16:44	have you come to destroy
16:46	us
16:48	the us there is the people in the
16:50	congregation the demons trying to cast
16:52	doubt on this authoritative word of
16:55	Christ that’s going out in their in
16:57	their midst and so he’s trying as best
17:00	as he can to basically make Jesus look
17:03	like he’s not there for their good but
17:05	therefore they’re bad have you come to
17:07	destroy us Jesus I know who you are
17:10	you’re the Holy One of God and you can
17:12	see the people in the synagogue going
17:13	Jesus is here to destroy us really he’s
17:15	the Holy One Of God ah
17:17	right
17:18	that’s what’s going on in this text
17:22	but
17:23	and that’s what the text says but death
17:26	Jesus rebuked him saying be silent come
17:29	out of him
17:32	and when the demon had thrown him into
17:34	their midst so you can almost see the
17:35	guy diving right into the center of the
17:38	of the synagogue the demon came out of
17:41	him having done him no harm
17:44	and then everyone they were all amazed
17:46	and said to one another what is this
17:47	word
17:49	what is this word for with authority and
17:53	power He commands even the unclean
17:55	spirits and they come out
17:58	of course everyone was sitting there
17:59	going I don’t understand why Moshe was
18:01	demon-possessed how long was that going
18:02	on and none of us knew right
18:05	maybe that explains why he was yes dude
18:07	this some they have to do a postmortem
18:10	on this later so the text then says this
18:14	reports about Jesus went out to every
18:16	place in the surrounding region they
18:18	remember this is very early in Jesus’s
18:20	Ministry so Jesus arose left the
18:22	synagogue and he entered Simon’s house
18:25	this is Simon Peter now watch this now
18:27	Simon Simon’s mother-in-law was ill and
18:31	had a high fever now if you have any
18:32	Roman Catholic friends you can point in
18:34	this text and say hey did you notice
18:35	that the first pope had a wife
18:39	they believe Peter is the first pope
18:41	well he has to have had a wife if he had
18:43	a mother-in-law because no one would
18:45	want one of those voluntarily
18:48	I’m joking
18:52	you just don’t go down the street I
18:54	think I’ll get myself a mother-in-law
18:55	hey
18:57	so he has a mother-in-law now watch this
19:01	so she was Ill with a high fever and
19:03	they appealed to him on her behalf and
19:06	rather than saying to her ah listen it’s
19:09	only a fever to have some water and
19:11	it’ll go away in a couple of days here’s
19:13	some Tylenol you know right here’s what
19:15	the sex says he stood over her and same
19:18	word he rebuked the fever Jesus is
19:21	rebuking demons he’s rebuking fevers
19:24	both of which are a result of our fall
19:26	into sin right
19:29	and the fever it left her immediately
19:32	she Rose and began to serve them
19:34	Selah okay and I think this is a good
19:37	idea for mothers-in-laws to be doing
19:38	okay now when the sun was setting all
19:42	those who had any who were sick with
19:44	various diseases they brought them to
19:46	Jesus and he laid hands on every one of
19:48	them and healed them and demons also
19:51	came out of many crying you are the son
19:53	of God
19:55	but he rebuked them and would not allow
19:57	them to speak because they knew that he
19:59	was the Christ or you can say the
20:00	Messiah now the question is why on Earth
20:02	would Jesus silence the demons trust me
20:05	when I tell you when a demon says the
20:08	truth about Jesus it’s because their
20:11	hope is to do something nefarious right
20:13	so the demons are out there saying
20:15	you’re the Son of God and the reason for
20:18	this is because they know that if they
20:19	can get people to listen and hear that
20:21	and understand that it’s going to bog
20:23	Jesus’s Ministry down and plus the
20:26	demons clearly had been spending a lot
20:28	of time confusing the children of Israel
20:31	regarding what the Messiah would do when
20:34	he showed up
20:36	the demons had them focusing in on the
20:38	second Advent of Christ the prophecies
20:41	where Jesus is going to come in and flex
20:43	some muscle and slay the evil doers and
20:46	get rid of the idolaters and what’s
20:48	happening in Israel at this time they’re
20:50	under the thumb under well more like the
20:53	boot of the Roman Empire right
20:56	they’re chafing under this
20:58	and even the disciples don’t quite get
21:00	what the Messiah is going to do and over
21:03	and over and again they get it wrong as
21:06	they’re on their way to Jerusalem what
21:08	do the Zebedee Brothers do with Jesus
21:10	hey Jesus when you come into your glory
21:12	can one of us sit on your right and the
21:13	other on your left they’re jockeying for
21:15	well cabinet positions and Jesus’s
21:18	Administration they don’t even know what
21:20	they’re talking about right and even
21:22	after Jesus rises from the dead
21:24	what is it that the disciples say to him
21:26	just before he ascends are you now going
21:29	to restore the kingdom to Israel
21:31	okay this is the equivalent of a guy
21:34	going to Seminary and and everything
21:37	rides on the last test that he takes the
21:41	big final that covers all four years of
21:43	Seminary and he gets an F
21:47	the disciples flunked the final and you
21:50	can almost see Jesus going
21:52	no you know as he descends up and he
21:56	goes why did what’s happening right here
21:58	so not only they fail the final and they
22:01	do miserably yeah this shows over and
22:03	again they had the wrong idea of what
22:05	the Messiah would do
22:07	because the prophecies in the Old
22:09	Testament according Christ are twofold
22:11	one it is first coming to come and to
22:14	serve and to die as a sacrifice for our
22:16	sins and the second is the second coming
22:19	where he comes in glory to judge the
22:21	living and the dead
22:22	the kingdom of God is not here on this
22:24	Earth if you would the kingdom of God is
22:27	coming it’s here Among Us tough to see
22:29	but I kind of see it right now but it’ll
22:31	disappear quickly after the church
22:33	service ends
22:36	so the demons are saying oh you’re the
22:38	Son of God not to help Jesus but to bog
22:41	him down
22:42	and this is what happens and this text
22:45	says this so when it was day he departed
22:47	went to a decibel desolate place and the
22:49	people sought him and came to him and
22:52	they would have kept him from leaving
22:53	them
22:55	see all this this is starting to get in
22:57	the way of things but he said to them
22:59	hey I must preach the good news of the
23:01	kingdom of God to the other towns as
23:04	well why because the word of God has
23:06	Authority
23:07	and God Jesus is God’s word in human
23:10	flesh I was sent for this purpose and he
23:12	was preaching in the synagogues of Judea
23:16	so where does the rubber meet the road
23:18	here here today in our Old Testament
23:20	text and Our Gospel text we’ve heard
23:21	about the authority of the word of God
23:25	that it accomplishes what it says it
23:27	will do it’s unlike any word that we
23:29	hear especially from politicians well I
23:32	want you to think of it this way this
23:34	morning you have heard the word of God
23:37	you’ve heard the word of God and the
23:38	gospel text you’ve heard the word of God
23:40	in our epistle text and our Old
23:41	Testament text
23:43	and I would tell you this the
23:46	authoritative word of God spoke to you
23:48	this morning also in our Psalm text let
23:50	me read again a portion of our Psalm
23:53	Psalm 71 in You O Lord do I take refuge
23:57	let me never be put to shame
24:00	in your righteousness deliver and Rescue
24:02	Me
24:03	incline your ear to me and save me
24:06	be to me a rock of Refuge to which I may
24:10	continually come you have given the
24:12	command to save Me For You Are My Rock
24:15	and my Fortress there it is
24:18	the Lord has given the command
24:21	save you
24:24	he has
24:26	we all know that we are Sinners by
24:30	nature and we deserve God’s Wrath but
24:32	the command has gone forth to save even
24:35	you you heard this morning in the
24:37	Absolution not my words but the words of
24:39	Christ your sins are forgiven if we were
24:42	having the Lord’s Supper this morning
24:43	we’ll have it next week you will hear
24:45	these words take eat this is the True
24:48	Body of Christ broken for you for the
24:50	Forgiveness of your sins take drink this
24:53	is the True Blood of Christ shed for you
24:56	for the Forgiveness of your sins God’s
24:59	word is performative
25:00	he desires your salvation no he’s
25:03	commanded your salvation
25:07	and in the words of the Absolution he
25:10	declares your sins to be forgiven in the
25:13	words of institution of the Lord’s
25:15	Supper we know that we are receiving the
25:17	true body and blood of Christ in with
25:19	and under the bread and wine for the
25:21	Forgiveness of our sins and Christ is
25:24	commanded that your sins be washed away
25:26	in the waters of your baptism
25:30	his word accomplishes what it sets out
25:32	to do his word has Authority
25:35	do you believe these words for you
25:40	or do you believe that Christ is like
25:42	the politicians
25:45	his words sound nice but at the end of
25:47	the day they have no cash value
25:50	that’s the question
25:52	what do you believe about Jesus’s words
25:56	in the name of Jesus Amen
