Reversing the Racial Curse, Part 2

Whatever is laying around race conflicts with Dr. Tony Evans is reconciliation doesn't require us to abandon our culture and our custom, the reverse of Rachel Carson's this is the alternative with Dr. Tony Evans, author, speaker and pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas Texas and president of the urban alternative. The Bible has been used to justify racial hatred of all kind. But today Dr. Evans explains what the word really says about how we should deal with our differences physically and culturally. Let's join all this country and I okay to change the joint.

You remember Peter the pork chops with the Gentiles was Jewish Jewish mind. She shouldn't pixie she will we know God unclean when I call clean now you can go to the Gentile.

We call unclean when I call clean judgment on those people find judgment on those people. I just know what he called Gentiles, Gentiles can call this spiritual revival is having Gentile is Jewish brothers is always show Gentiles. You got me, but we fellowship with a border dispute just get this. The Bible says Jewish away from you. Put chairs in the fall issue, one of the reasons why we all will and so Gentiles. We will okay okay when we would sing and we will wear them from knowing that we will signal unity stocks pursue this Public man associate with me you don't want that to say that while he was taken up taking place payment for some. So with so the Bible says that the public you mess with the word of God in public body of Christ in public while and I will comfort you in public day you split up the body of Christ. You make a decision based on spiritual pretrip was confronted by Paul and Paul told decision, monitor the spiritual principle, racial group, spiritual decisions and you come up with greater racial success so he can confront some of my favorite verses crucified with Christ I live is Christ in me that Mike would not tell me about the flesh by faith in the son of God loved me and gave himself for me. I don't first of all call myself a Jew first of all, the Christian and then I apply it to my Jewishness. That's why I am a follower of Jesus Christ now raised just Jewish, Christian, Jewish, Hispanic or Chinese or whatever background will Jesus Christ. So you had to adjust Jesus in John chapter 4 have been baptizing more people than John to get him to what Jesus had the past and Samaria was going against cultural molds and standards really has to pass through Samaria at 12 noon to be a woman who shows up well for someone through Samaria because of the spiritual need to be present at a well as you know is that spiritual means must always override cultural differences Jesus wouldn't the cultural biases old people. The spiritual responsibility to his father what his race here with what God wanted ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph Webb was located. He wants us to know this was a special peace award given land. Jacob gave to his son. The Samaritans become the racial history Jews because of racial history and you will see that the moment come out even more blatant Jews. Samaritans Jacob because Jacob was claimed by both group and spiritual father were when Jesus will leave this woman from the world. Real track keep shoals, and the place where we would take the place of agreement with the differences. He started with what they had any matter at Jacob's well in verse seven, Samaria, Jesus giving me a drink almost says something to drink and said to him you sent Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans's problem. Are you really asking the put your Jewish… Thomas American, you skim the ship with me. I can't even blame me being able to relate to somebody else you raise with the Samaritan must understand is expecting you to believe what he created you to be one. When created to be in the way of doing what he wanted.

So Jesus says in verse 10, the gift of God who is who it is you give me a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living, you have nothing to draw in the well of the way people get their living water, living water for her. Everyone who drinks this water will thirst again but whoever drinks the water that I will give him shall never thirst which I give him shall become in him a well water springing up into eternal life.

If you drink telling you go change your life to give you salvation is going to give you to give you new life. You got a Jew eternal life is willing to relate the person they gave access to her being with the spiritually well he's talking to this woman.

He tells her that you know God have a standard and are not looking at you, first the spirit and truth.

You have those two things right, bring Teresa does not do enough, she said, like a lot of Christians say verse 25 she said I know when Messiah comes, he will fix it all. So when we all got when Jay calls Jesus when we get to heaven fix this we get the glory. Dr. Evans will come back with the rest of the story for us just a moment first.

You and me know.

Well, this is a great close to the store and went into the city and said to the men see a man who told me all the things I've done the Christ is the woman said. When Jesus said I am the man and says what the problem racial conflict got all the Samaritan man, Jesus, you got 12 disciples can stand Samaritans got racial conflict about Meanwhile verse 31. The disciples were Jesus and that you do not know about you, and you believe that we don't know about will be about my food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work. My food to do what God wants, not what you want. I love all you guys got wrong perspective. Racial set on top of this woman is racially different than you. Well it's been this way it's been this way for 722 BC this week for hundreds of years Jesus when it is notice what Jesus says in verse 35 do not say they are four months and then comes the heartless months away from harvest so that was the exact time but is safe for months and then comes the harvest, behold real close your eyes and feels they are already white guy looking right. I know you think it's four months away, but if you think so when you see someone told me you see a man to fix this problem.

Feel about this when we don't deal with it and will give you practice we just created a scenario to bring people together for hundreds of years. He intentionally created a situation so now the Jews and the Gentiles have to coagulate have to come together in order to address the will of God, how it's close.

Verse 39 from that city.

Many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman testified all the things which I have done so when the Samaritans came to Jesus asking him to stay with them and he stayed with them. Today's if you read that too fast you miss Samaritans who the woman said earlier, have no dealings with the Jews all asked Jesus to come spend the weekend. All I know for the weekend and asked Jesus because he will know and standards of the day.
