Why setting up his gear, I want tell you stories that okay I wanted to your story about another very intelligent man like Brian Horton Street, Europe will be bringing one table forward to the butyl, two oh two run materials you can set them all up there right can be busy doing something on preaching and so Albert Einstein, very intelligent man writer writers authorize them was well when Einstein fled Nazi Germany. He came to America, and what he came to stay temporarily I learned from out from studying the only mental state, but he wound up staying permanently because of all the things that happen and so Einstein bought an old two-story house within walking distance of Princeton University. Very entertaining some of the most distinguished people of his day and discussed with them. Issues as far ranging as physics to human rights, but Einstein had another frequent visitor. She was not in the world dies an important person like his other guests. She was a ten -year-old girl whose name was any any heard that a very kind man who knew a lot about mathematics and move into her neighborhood and since she was having trouble with her fifth-grade arithmetic, she decided to this demand on the block and see if he would help her with her problems. Einstein was very willing. I explained everything to her so that she could understand it. He also told her that she was welcome to come anytime she needed help. A few weeks later, one of the neighbors sold, and his mother that any was often seen in the house of a world-famous physicist, horrified, she told her daughter that Einstein was a very important man whose time was very valuable in the bothered with the problems a little schoolgirl and then she rushed over and I size house and when he answered the door she started trying to board out apology for her daughter 's behavior or intrusion for being such a bother, but I cite cut her off and said she is not been bothering me when a child finds such joy in learning that it is my joy to help her learn. Please don't stop at me from coming to me with her school problems is welcome in my house anytime. Einstein very intelligent man, very big man of the world wasn't afraid to take time to do simple things in life like that. Arithmetic like you help your kids with around the kitchen table, doing favor then we got up on the screen. If you want to let me begin, check out make sure I'm not making enough if you want to turn to John chapter one, but if you don't, that's fine too. Trust me, it's inherently unscreened to both John chapter one, starting with verse one and beginning was the word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God all things were made through him, and without him nothing was made that was made in him was life and the life was the light of men. I'm a and one more person. I don't have up there, and if the fifth verse, and the light shines in the darkness and the darkness didn't comprehend it. So in the Bible. There are many names that refer to our Lord that are nothing less than very regal names very August names we have given to God 's son. I have a few here this morning never referred to as son of God Lamb of God, light of the world, the resurrection and the life. He that should come the Alpha and Omega, the word according to John chapter one. There phrases that I think stretch the boundaries when authors try to come up with these names to capture something that's really uncomfortable. How can you capture the glory of God the glory of God that he was so afraid would would would blind noses. They had to cover his face when he walked by. How do you capture something like that. But as hard as the authors tried to draw close to doing that they always fell short to hear people trying to get the right pane, the son of God is, like hearing career Salvation Army band in Arizona. They started in my presence. I'm a street corner. Everyone is trying to figure is using small brass type band. Its army of volunteers, so it's maybe I can it would be like at the Salvation Army trying to play Handel 's Messiah right on the street corner and cold temperatures during Christmas time. It's good but it doesn't quite capture it doesn't know okay. Nice try doesn't work, but the message is way too majestic for the medium. It's like that with our language review the appraisers. No words to express right. It's really the only one I can honestly be applied to God. I know names do God justice. And we know that God 's names in the Bible the qualities right away, meeting, I am more I am the one who brings into existence of your heard the phrase in Hebrew Elohim name of God applying God 's authority or before the phrase was a song made popular long time ago by Amy Grant Cotto should I I meaning Almighty or added. I added nine meeting master or more about a veto inverted term of Vino, another Hebrew name referring to our father, Jehovah nisi Lord is my banner. All the things that God has that capture his character, but there is one name that recalls the quality of our Lord that confused people around him, enters a name that describes the quality of our Lord that compelled those around him. It reveals a side of him that when we see and recognize it. It's enough to make us fall on her face or even make us trip, like Goldilocks and the three Bears, not too small, not too big. Okay, it's a name that fits just like Cinderella 's glass slipper fit anything of Jesus in the Gospels, Matthew Mark Luke and John. It is most common name. If you almost six hundred psi. I make no in the gospel, the name Jesus. He was almost six hundred times and it was a common name Jesus is a great form of the name Joshua great form of the name Yeshua, which is a derivative. Joshua is a shortened version of Jehovah. She was worth. You show up all familiar Old Testament names meaning God saves it always saves PIM saves there were at least five high priests in Israel that were known with the name Jesus historian Josephus in his writings refers to about twenty people who were named Jesus, the New Testament refers to a person, the name of Jesus Justice, who was a friend of Paul and if you remember the sorcerer on the island of a focus. His name was bar Jesus, son of Jesus some manuscripts even give Jesus as the first name of the criminal Barabbas. If you remember when Pilate, when they came to pilot and they wanted Jesus and Pilate gave them the tradition that they had at the Passover or a return was a prisoner pilot said, you know, do you want me to give you Barabbas. They said no they didn't anyhow, one thing is this Google tongue-tied some translation. Some manuscripts say that Pilate said, which would you like me to release to you, Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus known as the Messiah right, he wasn't the only Jesus. It was the only guide name Jesus. So Brad, what's your point for all that time to fail those things. What's the point. Jesus could have been if you give me the picture gas Jesus could've been there. Richard has Jesus Goodman, Joe, not trying to make light of the name of the goddess: driving in your find by doing point truthfully, I engages were to step into history. Today, instead of two thousand years ago. God waited to send his son as the perfect sacrifice and he wound up, sit in this church, what would Jesus name probably be all Joe Bob, like all revolves in other words, this is Jesus were here today. I don't think that he would distance himself from us. I don't think it would distance himself from people build distance right rebuild. This is such a relationship by Victor was that the marriage relationship. But if Bill Clinton's marriage were things to build distance in marriages being critical expecting us about the change in the person that we want them to be those that don't distance in a marriage shirt. Okay, people build distances people that you work with whiskey with the marriage relationship, coworkers, I cut workers. How without a high school people were in school with either one work or school this relationship don't think knowing what to put on airs and equitable remedy what they are there better than you. You will establish things the person they do as they try to start marking territory there a better person than you are. That creates distance people of different ways of doing it. People built this since Jesus builds bridges they sell Jesus would not distance himself from us if he walked among us today, he didn't distance himself from people when he walked on earth. Two thousand years ago, and ignoring the gun about the pressure on Brian Bigelow distance Jesus builds bridges. I don't believe for a minute that Jesus would distance himself from us anyway. Maybe, like race, and being a person operating grace, but it wouldn't do anything to establish these better than us better than us, even though he is Jesus would not give himself some fancy title like the most Reverend holiness angelic divinity. The third network put together lower amount of time right on mission. I given Brian a job in Jesus would give himself something fancy title. There was a church is where they get their pastors big fancy titles, most Reverend were always different things eyesight. I have seen places where people get these big huge titles of the Jews would do that open he would what is the name of the Verizon would carry God chose a human name they chose a name so typical that it would probably show up in your class role two or three times when I was in school. Unfortunately, there were four breads in my class a but no names change unfocused popular names right now. He remains very, but God chose a name that was a common name for his son. Now I'm slightly disappointed because my wife is seeking to churches morning because I wanted her to say something Stephanie bought a Bible and read the message translation pastor preaches from a lot simply have a message Bible here cash, we'll call up John chapter the same verse as we had earlier you call them up in the message translation in order that it be God 's garden, put it up as good. I like this like the way it deals with butter on the spot. These pillars are very help. What want you to know the work was first the word present to God. God presence of the word. The word was God. In an excellent and readiness for God from day one. Everything was created through him. Nothing. Not one thing came into being without them to me for the four percent. What came into existence was life for life was like to live my Stephanie, I thought it was my thought was the message translation. She had. I got to be correct, but with that. Where was the one she had in the beginning was the word and the word moved into the neighborhood. It must be different translation or was a note that she had, but that was her that was once supposed in the beginning was the word of the word moved into the neighborhood. Okay, Jesus was ordinary. I don't thought we got going here. Trust me. Hang in there. I didn't disseminate these papers, expand, I got up here, okay Jesus was ordinary. If Jesus was here today, two thousand eleven, we probably what we notice him walking through the mall, Jesus wouldn't turn heads. Because of the close that he wore, or because of the jewelry and blamed that he flashed on his hands arms or neck pain. Jesus, what good attention for the car that he drove Jesus was touchable. It was approachable and he was reachable now Jesus was the kind of guy you would invite over to your house to watch the Steelers game. If there is football season so if you watch Steelers game Jesus did not guide. Whatever. What's yours. If you watch NASCAR season, becoming I do invite over to watch the race with you, you'd probably need your barbecue notice that the Canadian Republic of the states for you if you wanted to be probably wrestle around the floor with your kids. Jesus was a regular person to I don't probably tell a few jokes of his own, and when you spoke Jesus would listen like he had all the time in the world. Those are the things that I'm a part he would listen to you, like he had all the time in the world and one things for certain, you would invite Jesus back to your house, you have a back of given Brian a big project this morning. It's kind of tough. Once the glue really doesn't set up well enough quickly enough, but he's working on okay, it's worth noting that those who knew him best remember him as Jesus. Okay the titles Jesus the Christ, Lord Jesus RC six times those the walk with Jesus. Remember to know the title of the designation, but they're a member name as Jesus so they let implications of this when God chose to reveal himself to humanity. What medium videos, pity turned loose of book no. The book was secondary right thing. The dog is a church to reveal himself to humanity. Know the church is a consequence of what God chose the God can't lose a single DVD, you know, make a video what is known to have a blog you know the sender of any bunch of text, no big on you, some kind of moral code is a moral codes reveal himself. The people know because the boil down God 's revelation to us to a cold list of do 's and don'ts would be as tragic as if you wanted a bigger AAA member that were with one AAA stepping love to get math whenever she gets a chance to get in that regard remapped AAA to get free when you pay your membership. Stephanie likes to get them remap your way shorthand for Arizona, I think, but to try to boil down God 's revelation to us in a list of do 's and don'ts is currently going to AAA. Get a map, Colorado spread open and saying, guess what I have just seen the Rockies& it does it, though, when God chose to reveal himself, God did so through human body. It was a human tongue. It's about the Lazarus and said, come forth the hand in hand to touch the lepers dare I say it, Jesus probably had dirt under his fingernails. When the woman wept on Jesus feet and wiped his feet with her hair from her tears. I got news for you. His feet were calloused. His feet were dirty right and is scarce. Yes, Jesus cried came from a heart is broken as your heart or my heart has ever been in an installation hubris chapter four verse fifty nine and given to cast sorry but I in verse four fifteen fax for we do not have a high Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but wise in all points tempted as we are yet was without sin. But Hebrews four fifteen so people came to Jesus, admittedly ever come right when people come to Jesus became till midnight right wingers trying to rest. They touched him while he walked down the street that night they follow them around the scene guy try to get to know about to get a little bit of these little space will rest a chance to refresh was heavily father. They invited Jesus into their homes. They put their candidates speak that night. Why, because he has refused to be some statue placed in the Cathedral and he refused to be some New England praise and one of them old-fashioned churches where the pulpit was fifteen feet above the congregation. Okay, Jesus refused to be those people. They chose instead to be Jesus regular Joe. Okay, there is a hint that I find anywhere in Scripture of one person who was afraid to get close to Jesus, except for the demon possessed man was the only one that was afraid there were people who mocked Jesus. There were people who were envious of Jesus. There were people who revere Jesus thereby misunderstood ever say something is totally taken out of context or just misinterpreted what I said every don't think and how I said it again. How I meant it to run at some time doesn't work. Anyhow, Jesus is misunderstood, but there wasn't one person bought been used to holy children. Mine were too good to celestial for them to talk him. Nobody was afraid to approach Jesus because they were afraid of being rejected. So, based on all these qualities of Jesus this morning no one down here. They were one based on all these qualities of Jesus, but that's a few questions this morning. Gascony. The first one in my touchable, my touchable by real to the people around me were working on the show going to my parents to give my kids, my spouse, my coworkers, people go to church with regard. Given the think why think they want me to be quite real with those around me and my solid is supposed on the first question about the first question that this is owner touchable. My solid ground. These are all touchable all-around and with being a thoughtful person. My ground person my grounded in God 's word. My ground. It is love in my palpable. Can people get a feel for what I'm saying the words and actions lineup, with one saying my touchable that my approachable. Don't go near average Joe approachable. My friendly my welcoming to people around me like a lot of my way to include others in my available to people who I get another works like a people path in November there is no lone rangers in God 's kingdom. Okay Ranger wasn't loaned was a misnomer when Ranger had to on the threat was the Lone Ranger, not even but even in Hollywood. Okay last one in my reachable MIA close to people in their time of need. Your qualities of Jesus, by the way they are. Michael is the people in their time of need in my easy to get to within reach. Not like you know you have my cell. He call me or text me or something like that one saying is, in my available, why make myself available to people when they bear in the within reach of my easy to get to thrust my hand out to grab a hold of somebody in their time of need in my doing that my reaching out. Nobody was reluctant to approach Jesus, for fear of rejection. Remember that nobody is afraid to get close to Jesus for fear of rejection. The next time you're amazing your own failures from the states run flaws nobody was afraid to get close to Jesus for fear of rejection. The next time you're wrongly accused of something, the next time her full words come out and can't be put back into a tube of toothpaste right. It was your kids watch Sunday night dinners. The others were Sunday night with a lesson on what to tube the corporate toothpaste on the fiscal spells making the basement of the church are not actually was there she was in on it, and Erika was to think who else was there. Yet when Mister and we had two tubes of toothpaste. We divided into teams and we had a contest. It was squeeze all the taste altered based on your tube of toothpaste out of the small ones. You know, travel sized meetings and sweet all at your face utility -based and I told that they had to arrange to see who can get all their toothpaste back in the two with their hands. What do you think that looked like weaving that smelled like a really good moment. The branch of God, but the students found out soon, but what you're not getting the toothpaste back in the tube with your hands. It is not okay. Maybe Gil little bit as if they were turned down low, but on the time it. There was no haste, and it wasn't happening and had all over their hands than in one undecided white on my arms and eight Burlison was this what hurtful words come out the damaged can get back in and him saying he can get back in lickety-split, clean, and all the damages taking care of so when hurtful words come out there to repair. Remember greater part because they feared there would be rejected. Now I fear that I'm not given my young brother time enough or the right materials to do his job ice driving the very serious job body agreements were about me. I appreciate that people will distance right people have ways putting distance in relationships, coworkers, school people to make trouble in school camping people can create drama where there is no drum right people put distance between themselves and others were placed themselves whatever the case please let like that Jesus God revealing himself to us as an average Joe average gain would look like everybody else was in closer buddy else note. It's funny paintings always, your Jesus is. I don't know that he painted of her cap on no account, obviously, but it automated even filmed, they always try to capture Jesus, is this known swap your flight, God 's got very got palaces but very beware in sandals but splinters in his hands as Carpenter and he was around people and he didn't distance himself and what my younger brother was something to build her this morning and one finish it for next week Jesus builds bridges K and S what Brian was trying to believe and stick together, not the glue would not dry what Brian was working on with building a bridge bank and got started. That's the deck of his bridge, and so will expect the by the mail. We know this, since Brian and godly character is building a bridge this morning and so am I am on my touchable in my protocol in my reachableWhy setting up his gear, I want tell you stories that okay I wanted to your story about another very intelligent man like Brian Horton Street, Europe will be bringing one table forward to the butyl, two oh two run materials you can set them all up there right can be busy doing something on preaching and so Albert Einstein, very intelligent man writer writers authorize them was well when Einstein fled Nazi Germany.

Einstein very intelligent man, very big man of the world wasn't afraid to take time to do simple things in life like that.

Yes, Jesus cried came from a heart is broken as your heart or my heart has ever been in an installation hubris chapter four verse fifty nine and given to cast sorry but I in verse four fifteen fax for we do not have a high Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but wise in all points tempted as we are yet was without sin. But Hebrews four fifteen so people came to Jesus, admittedly ever come right when people come to Jesus became till midnight right wingers trying to rest. They touched him while he walked down the street that night they follow them around the scene guy try to get to know about to get a little bit of these little space will rest a chance to refresh was heavily father. They invited Jesus into their homes. They put their candidates speak that night. Why, because he has refused to be some statue placed in the Cathedral and he refused to be some New England praise and one of them old-fashioned churches where the pulpit was fifteen feet above the congregation. Okay, Jesus refused to be those people. They chose instead to be Jesus regular Joe. Okay, there is a hint that I find anywhere in Scripture of one person who was afraid to get close to Jesus, except for the demon possessed man was the only one that was afraid there were people who mocked Jesus. There were people who were envious of Jesus. There were people who revere Jesus thereby misunderstood ever say something is totally taken out of context or just misinterpreted what I said every don't think and how I said it again. How I meant it to run at some time doesn't work. Anyhow, Jesus is misunderstood, but there wasn't one person bought been used to holy children. Mine were too good to celestial for them to talk him. Nobody was afraid to approach Jesus because they were afraid of being rejected. So, based on all these qualities of Jesus this morning no one down here. They were one based on all these qualities of Jesus, but that's a few questions this morning. Gascony. The first one in my touchable, my touchable by real to the people around me were working on the show going to my parents to give my kids, my spouse, my coworkers, people go to church with regard. Given the think why think they want me to be quite real with those around me and my solid is supposed on the first question about the first question that this is owner touchable. My solid ground. These are all touchable all-around and with being a thoughtful person. My ground person my grounded in God 's word. My ground. It is love in my palpable. Can people get a feel for what I'm saying the words and actions lineup, with one saying my touchable that my approachable. Don't go near average Joe approachable. My friendly my welcoming to people around me like a lot of my way to include others in my available to people who I get another works like a people path in November there is no lone rangers in God 's kingdom. Okay Ranger wasn't loaned was a misnomer when Ranger had to on the threat was the Lone Ranger, not even but even in Hollywood. Okay last one in my reachable MIA close to people in their time of need. Your qualities of Jesus, by the way they are. Michael is the people in their time of need in my easy to get to within reach. Not like you know you have my cell. He call me or text me or something like that one saying is, in my available, why make myself available to people when they bear in the within reach of my easy to get to thrust my hand out to grab a hold of somebody in their time of need in my doing that my reaching out. Nobody was reluctant to approach Jesus, for fear of rejection. Remember that nobody is afraid to get close to Jesus for fear of rejection. The next time you're amazing your own failures from the states run flaws nobody was afraid to get close to Jesus for fear of rejection. The next time you're wrongly accused of something, the next time her full words come out and can't be put back into a tube of toothpaste right. It was your kids watch Sunday night dinners. The others were Sunday night with a lesson on what to tube the corporate toothpaste on the fiscal spells making the basement of the church are not actually was there she was in on it, and Erika was to think who else was there. Yet when Mister and we had two tubes of toothpaste. We divided into teams and we had a contest. It was squeeze all the taste altered based on your tube of toothpaste out of the small ones. You know, travel sized meetings and sweet all at your face utility -based and I told that they had to arrange to see who can get all their toothpaste back in the two with their hands. What do you think that looked like weaving that smelled like a really good moment. The branch of God, but the students found out soon, but what you're not getting the toothpaste back in the tube with your hands. It is not okay. Maybe Gil little bit as if they were turned down low, but on the time it. There was no haste, and it wasn't happening and had all over their hands than in one undecided white on my arms and eight Burlison was this what hurtful words come out the damaged can get back in and him saying he can get back in lickety-split, clean, and all the damages taking care of so when hurtful words come out there to repair. Remember greater part because they feared there would be rejected. Now I fear that I'm not given my young brother time enough or the right materials to do his job ice driving the very serious job body agreements were about me. I appreciate that people will distance right people have ways putting distance in relationships, coworkers, school people to make trouble in school camping people can create drama where there is no drum right people put distance between themselves and others were placed themselves whatever the case please let like that Jesus God revealing himself to us as an average Joe average gain would look like everybody else was in closer buddy else note. It's funny paintings always, your Jesus is. I don't know that he painted of her cap on no account, obviously, but it automated even filmed, they always try to capture Jesus, is this known swap your flight, God 's got very got palaces but very beware in sandals but splinters in his hands as Carpenter and he was around people and he didn't distance himself and what my younger brother was something to build her this morning and one finish it for next week Jesus builds bridges K and S what Brian was trying to believe and stick together, not the glue would not dry what Brian was working on with building a bridge bank and got started.
