{"task": "transcribe", "language": "english", "duration": 908.2999877929688, "text": "The Lord be with you. And with your spirit. A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John. Glory to the Lord. Jesus said to his disciples, as the Father loves me, so also I love you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love just as I have kept my Father's commandments. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy might be complete. This is my commandment, love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I no longer call you slaves because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father. It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give you. This I command you, love one another. The gospel of the Lord. In many ways, this is, for me, it's almost a horrifying gospel to be given on a Sunday because it's enough gospel for about a month of sermons. It should at least be a week-long retreat. There are like seven individual themes. I always feel like, you know, where I'll tell you that John's gospel will sometimes go on for pages on the same thing over and over and over and over again. Then we get in about 10 lines here what might as well be the table of contents for his entire gospel. You're just going through theme after theme, and you kind of, I said this morning, you know, this is probably seven 20-minute sermons. Now, don't run for the door. I'm not going to do them. But some of them are cautionary. Some of them are very connected, but they kind of break down. First he says, you know, as the Father loves me, so I love you. And that sounds like a nice little opening. What it's really saying is this always starts with God. All of this love, even Jesus' love, comes from God. And if we're going to love one another, then it's because the Father has loved Jesus, who's loved us, and we, it's sharing a dynamic that God starts. That is what love always is. It's sharing a dynamic that is started by God. And then it goes into something that a lot of people can misunderstand. And I would tell you, if anyone other than Jesus said this to you, run the other way. If you love me, you'll do everything I tell you. Can't tell you how many teenagers and other people have gotten into trouble because, well, you know, if you're my friend, if you like me, you'll do this. If you love me, you'll do what I tell you to. Bad advice. But you have to read it in the context of Jesus, who keeps saying, look, my whole agenda is that you love one another. That's what I'm telling you to do. And so what I'm saying is, you can't love me and not love everyone else. That's the commandment he's talking about. You cannot love Jesus and hate everyone else. As Dorothy Day said, you love God as much as you love the person you love least in the world. She didn't mince words very often. And it kind of takes you back. And then he comes to the point that I think is really worth exploring today, because it's something we forget. And he says, and I'm telling you all this so that your joy may be complete. I don't think most of us realize, it wasn't our first expression in our culture of faith, that faith should be something that brings us joy. Most of us have a religious experience, and they come in different forms. One of them is, I realize how awful my life is and how disappointed God must be, and I have a breakdown, and we call that a religious moment. We come to God in crisis. We come to God, and it's not that that can't be an important thing, but it's a little sad. Probably most of us, the first experience, first memories we might have that have anything to do with God are usually an adult saying, that's a sin. Do you think God wants you to do that? How do you think God feels, you know? We usually start with God being hauled out of the closet to get us in line. It's rare that our first experience of God is this wondrous sort of feeling of love. It's not that we don't have that at the beginning of our life. It's not always keyed in to an experience of faith. Faith is when we learn everything we've done wrong and stop doing it. Sounds joyful, you know. That doesn't sound like what Jesus is talking about, but what happens is our intellectual egos get in the way. And so when someone says, well, when you hear the gospel, you know, you're going to have to get your life in line, and you're going to have to do certain things. And, you know, you just can't be running around having fun. And it's not going to be as much fun. Your life is going to be harder, but there'll be a payoff after death. That's not what he's talking about either. I always think of that as the insurance salesman's approach to religion. Things are going to be worse now, but there'll be a payoff later. I mean, no one's been reporting back, but there's going to be a payoff. What Jesus says is, if you live the gospel, you'll know it because your life will be more joyful right now. And if someone preaches a gospel to you, that to follow it diminishes your experience of life, they or you have misunderstood the gospel. What we tend to do is say to people, well, of course the gospel's going to be hard on you because your life is so miserable. You're such an awful person. We would rather think of ourselves as morally awful than go, maybe we're just not smart enough and aren't getting it. Don't attack our smarts. Don't attack our intelligence. Don't tell us maybe we misunderstood and the gospel should make us happier. And if it doesn't, maybe we misunderstood it. And maybe when, you know, someone tells you that, and it's amazing what people will come up with, but, you know, there are so many, what I call the religious equivalents of, if you love God, you won't eat chocolate. Why? Why? There's some real arbitrary things that get thrown in. And Jesus gives us, and he kind of takes apart, trust me, the religion of the day was taken apart. He'd probably take apart just as many parts of our arbitrary religion now. He puts in an underpinning that says, you will have to make sacrifices, but your sacrifices will be creating joy for someone. Your sacrifices will be making someone's life better. Making sacrifices just to say, hey, I sacrificed something today. You know, that's always like me telling people at the beginning of Lent, I've given up Brussels sprouts. You know, I gave up something and whose life was made better by it? You know. So what's the joy? Jesus says, look, I'm not saying that your life will be perfect every day, but if you were to all do this, your lives as a whole would be more joyful. And so every sacrifice we ever make should be creating joy somewhere. And not just, well, in the heart of God, because in the heart of God usually means someone who's told me what will, you know, that you giving up chocolate will make God happy. God can make his own chocolate, trust me. You know, so my sacrifices, what is it creating? Where is the joy? And he hits that from the other side, and it sounds like a different topic, and it is, but it really balances this when he goes into his next topic, which is, that's why you have to love one another as I have loved you. And I've told you this before, I think the first three Gospels are kindergarten next to John. John is like the college level. The first three say, you treat people the way you want to be treated. Love others as you love yourself. Jesus says, yeah, don't do that. Most of you don't love yourself. And Jesus did not come down to say, I'll treat them well if they treat me well. John's Gospel takes the college approach and says, love them the way I do. And Jesus loved us even when we were not loving back. Jesus loved us because that's who he was, not because he's waiting to see how we'll behave to decide on who he's gonna be. And a lot of us spend our life doing that. I like to be a nice person, but if you're mean, I'll be mean. That's a pretty fluid personality. There's actually a psychological diagnosis that they call a cocktail personality, which is people who just mirror whatever personalities around them at the moment. And Jesus says, no, no, it's not about, if you're nice, I'll be nice. If you're not, I won't. It's deciding who you're gonna be in the world and be it no matter what. That's what Jesus did. He was nice, he was loving, because that's who he chose to be. And he wasn't mean to some and nice to others. And so he says, so you're called to love people the way I love you. And then he gives us what I call the velvet hammer, which is, so just remember that there's no greater love than laying down your life for a friend, which at first sounds so inspirational and almost romantic. To lay down your life for a friend, it's hard. And none of us, well not, I won't say none of us, never say never. Most of us will never be called to the cross. And I know you don't hear that in Christianity much, but when people say, oh, we're all called to the cross, it's because they've taken this horrific experience of Jesus and diluted it into something that's a little more palatable. So you know, when the neighbors put out lawn ornaments you don't like, you can say, I guess it's my cross to bear, burr, bear. No, that's not a cross, that's just you being judgmental. Oh, my family's a little annoying, that's not a cross. We take this dramatic moment of the cross and every time they serve a flavor ice cream we don't like, it's my cross. It dilutes what the cross is. Most of us will not have to sacrifice our life at that level. But there's a secondary level, and in some ways it's harder for us. And that is sacrificing your life for one another five minutes at a time. Every day you have is not a period of time, it's a period of your life. If you give an hour to something, you've given an hour of your life. And when people ask you for something and you have to give your life five minutes at a time, parents know this. It's not, when parents tell me they would jump in front of a bullet for their child, I believe them. Most of them will never have to do that. But 9 p.m. you're exhausted, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mom, the next five minutes of your life is gone. And you have to give that over if you're going to give your life for a friend, or a family member, five minutes at a time. It's exhausting. And it's a tough balance. You know, as a pastor, I know, because people will say, you know, someone will come up and they'll need something right now, and you have to try and figure out whether you've already given that five minutes away to someone else. You know, sometimes just someone will say, oh, can you come help? And you've already agreed to go to a child's performance and be there for them. You've already given your life, and sometimes we think, oh, well, I'll take it back from them and give it to them. It's more difficult than you think. It's a balancing act. But when we get to the point where it's like, I'm tired of everyone else, you know, everyone says, well, I need my me time. It is interesting, and I know people will disagree with me. I found my me time to be less refreshing than I thought. Mostly because I'm there. But, you know, but sometimes you do need to refresh, but are you refreshing so that you can go out and give our lives again? Giving our lives a little bit at a time. Making our sacrifices for the joy of ourselves and others, rather than just, well, someone told me to give that up and not do this and that. To understand, if I'm doing this, I should be aware that there's a joy being created somewhere. And I think a lot of people will go to the, well, you know, you just, you can't question the mind of God because they don't want to get into that discussion. And whenever someone says, look, it's the mind of God, and you don't question it, what they really mean is, I speak for God, don't question me. That's always what that translates to. You know, I speak for God, don't question me. The church has had to struggle with this because, you know, we've moved away so much from the, you know, they used to say that this is where the interpretation of God comes from, is the clergy. And then we had all the clergy scandals. And I saw it sort of morph. And they were hoping no one would notice if we came out a few years later. And because we could no longer hold up a moral high ground, we started saying, we have the truth. And that means, even if we're morally corrupt, we've got the mind of God. Actually, the gospel is not a mind thing, it's a heart thing. And it has to be interpreted through that heart of love, not through some wonderful mind of theology. It's about the relationships. It's about the people we care for. And if we can't get out there and give our lives five minutes at a time, we'll probably never have the correct lens to read scripture. And so we ask God today to make us a people who can sacrifice our lives five minutes at a time to bring joy to others. That we can make any of the sacrifices we need to bring joy to the world, but to really believe that that is the lens through which we see our gospel. If someone has given me a gospel that not only doesn't create joy in my life, seems to really diminish and edit out great moments of joy for me and for others, we've misinterpreted the gospel. Jesus brought it so that we could know joy and know it fully.", "segments": [{"id": 0, "seek": 0, "start": 0.0, "end": 1.0, "text": " The Lord be with you.", "tokens": [50364, 440, 3257, 312, 365,

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.000
The Lord be with you.

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.500
And with your spirit.

00:00:02.500 --> 00:00:04.699
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John.

00:00:04.699 --> 00:00:08.180
Glory to the Lord.

00:00:08.180 --> 00:00:11.500
Jesus said to his disciples, as the Father loves me,

00:00:11.500 --> 00:00:13.420
so also I love you.

00:00:13.420 --> 00:00:14.779
Remain in my love.

00:00:14.779 --> 00:00:17.020
If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love

00:00:17.020 --> 00:00:20.379
just as I have kept my Father's commandments.

00:00:20.379 --> 00:00:22.780
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you

00:00:22.780 --> 00:00:25.500
and your joy might be complete.

00:00:25.500 --> 00:00:29.739
This is my commandment, love one another as I have loved you.

00:00:29.739 --> 00:00:31.860
No one has greater love than this,

00:00:31.860 --> 00:00:34.720
to lay down one's life for one's friends.

00:00:34.720 --> 00:00:37.180
You are my friends if you do what I command you.

00:00:37.180 --> 00:00:39.979
I no longer call you slaves because a slave does not

00:00:39.979 --> 00:00:42.060
know what his master is doing.

00:00:42.060 --> 00:00:43.479
I have called you friends because I

00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:47.259
have told you everything I have heard from my Father.

00:00:47.259 --> 00:00:50.020
It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you

00:00:50.020 --> 00:00:52.500
and appointed you to go and bear fruit

00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:54.619
that will remain so that whatever

00:00:54.619 --> 00:00:59.020
you ask the Father in my name, he may give you.

00:01:00.020 --> 00:01:04.099
This I command you, love one another.

00:01:04.099 --> 00:01:05.180
The gospel of the Lord.

00:01:15.660 --> 00:01:20.139
In many ways, this is, for me, it's

00:01:20.139 --> 00:01:24.300
almost a horrifying gospel to be given on a Sunday

00:01:24.300 --> 00:01:30.699
because it's enough gospel for about a month of sermons.

00:01:30.699 --> 00:01:33.419
It should at least be a week-long retreat.

00:01:33.419 --> 00:01:36.660
There are like seven individual themes.

00:01:36.660 --> 00:01:38.620
I always feel like, you know, where

00:01:38.620 --> 00:01:40.779
I'll tell you that John's gospel will sometimes

00:01:40.779 --> 00:01:44.220
go on for pages on the same thing over and over

00:01:44.220 --> 00:01:45.739
and over and over again.

00:01:45.739 --> 00:01:49.540
Then we get in about 10 lines here

00:01:49.540 --> 00:01:51.860
what might as well be the table of contents

00:01:51.860 --> 00:01:54.139
for his entire gospel.

00:01:54.900 --> 00:01:57.099
You're just going through theme after theme,

00:01:57.099 --> 00:01:59.980
and you kind of, I said this morning,

00:01:59.980 --> 00:02:04.819
you know, this is probably seven 20-minute sermons.

00:02:04.819 --> 00:02:06.500
Now, don't run for the door.

00:02:06.500 --> 00:02:09.020
I'm not going to do them.

00:02:09.020 --> 00:02:11.380
But some of them are cautionary.

00:02:11.380 --> 00:02:15.059
Some of them are very connected, but they kind of break down.

00:02:15.059 --> 00:02:18.820
First he says, you know, as the Father loves me, so I love you.

00:02:18.820 --> 00:02:21.419
And that sounds like a nice little opening.

00:02:21.419 --> 00:02:26.020
What it's really saying is this always starts with God.

00:02:26.020 --> 00:02:29.539
All of this love, even Jesus' love, comes from God.

00:02:29.539 --> 00:02:30.979
And if we're going to love one another,

00:02:30.979 --> 00:02:32.619
then it's because the Father has loved Jesus,

00:02:32.619 --> 00:02:36.339
who's loved us, and we, it's sharing a dynamic

00:02:36.339 --> 00:02:37.699
that God starts.

00:02:37.699 --> 00:02:39.460
That is what love always is.

00:02:39.460 --> 00:02:42.619
It's sharing a dynamic that is started by God.

00:02:42.619 --> 00:02:45.179
And then it goes into something that a lot of people

00:02:45.179 --> 00:02:46.979
can misunderstand.

00:02:46.979 --> 00:02:49.139
And I would tell you, if anyone other than Jesus

00:02:49.139 --> 00:02:52.779
said this to you, run the other way.

00:02:52.779 --> 00:02:57.259
If you love me, you'll do everything I tell you.

00:02:57.259 --> 00:02:59.740
Can't tell you how many teenagers and other people

00:02:59.740 --> 00:03:02.179
have gotten into trouble because, well, you know,

00:03:02.179 --> 00:03:05.899
if you're my friend, if you like me, you'll do this.

00:03:05.899 --> 00:03:08.220
If you love me, you'll do what I tell you to.

00:03:08.220 --> 00:03:10.380
Bad advice.

00:03:10.380 --> 00:03:12.820
But you have to read it in the context of Jesus,

00:03:12.820 --> 00:03:15.619
who keeps saying, look, my whole agenda

00:03:15.619 --> 00:03:16.820
is that you love one another.

00:03:16.820 --> 00:03:18.779
That's what I'm telling you to do.

00:03:18.779 --> 00:03:21.619
And so what I'm saying is, you can't love me

00:03:21.619 --> 00:03:24.419
and not love everyone else.

00:03:24.419 --> 00:03:27.539
That's the commandment he's talking about.

00:03:27.539 --> 00:03:30.339
You cannot love Jesus and hate everyone else.

00:03:30.339 --> 00:03:33.660
As Dorothy Day said, you love God as much as you love

00:03:33.660 --> 00:03:38.020
the person you love least in the world.

00:03:38.020 --> 00:03:42.059
She didn't mince words very often.

00:03:42.059 --> 00:03:45.940
And it kind of takes you back.

00:03:45.940 --> 00:03:48.259
And then he comes to the point that I think is really worth

00:03:48.259 --> 00:03:52.259
exploring today, because it's something we forget.

00:03:52.259 --> 00:03:54.860
And he says, and I'm telling you all this

00:03:54.860 --> 00:03:57.619
so that your joy may be complete.

00:03:57.619 --> 00:04:00.419
I don't think most of us realize,

00:04:00.419 --> 00:04:04.179
it wasn't our first expression in our culture of faith,

00:04:04.179 --> 00:04:08.740
that faith should be something that brings us joy.

00:04:08.740 --> 00:04:11.100
Most of us have a religious experience,

00:04:11.100 --> 00:04:13.179
and they come in different forms.

00:04:13.179 --> 00:04:16.019
One of them is, I realize how awful my life is

00:04:16.019 --> 00:04:17.700
and how disappointed God must be,

00:04:17.700 --> 00:04:21.619
and I have a breakdown, and we call that a religious moment.

00:04:21.619 --> 00:04:23.179
We come to God in crisis.

00:04:23.179 --> 00:04:25.820
We come to God, and it's not that that can't be

00:04:25.820 --> 00:04:28.420
an important thing, but it's a little sad.

00:04:28.420 --> 00:04:31.859
Probably most of us, the first experience,

00:04:31.859 --> 00:04:33.980
first memories we might have that have anything to do

00:04:33.980 --> 00:04:37.100
with God are usually an adult saying, that's a sin.

00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:39.339
Do you think God wants you to do that?

00:04:39.339 --> 00:04:41.779
How do you think God feels, you know?

00:04:41.779 --> 00:04:44.980
We usually start with God being hauled out of the closet

00:04:45.019 --> 00:04:48.059
to get us in line.

00:04:48.059 --> 00:04:50.940
It's rare that our first experience of God

00:04:50.940 --> 00:04:54.260
is this wondrous sort of feeling of love.

00:04:54.260 --> 00:04:57.059
It's not that we don't have that at the beginning of our life.

00:04:57.059 --> 00:05:00.500
It's not always keyed in to an experience of faith.

00:05:00.500 --> 00:05:03.059
Faith is when we learn everything we've done wrong

00:05:03.059 --> 00:05:05.059
and stop doing it.

00:05:05.059 --> 00:05:08.299
Sounds joyful, you know.

00:05:08.299 --> 00:05:12.940
That doesn't sound like what Jesus is talking about,

00:05:12.940 --> 00:05:17.940
but what happens is our intellectual egos get in the way.

00:05:17.940 --> 00:05:20.619
And so when someone says, well, when you hear the gospel,

00:05:20.619 --> 00:05:23.220
you know, you're going to have to get your life in line,

00:05:23.220 --> 00:05:24.899
and you're going to have to do certain things.

00:05:24.899 --> 00:05:29.299
And, you know, you just can't be running around having fun.

00:05:29.299 --> 00:05:31.299
And it's not going to be as much fun.

00:05:31.299 --> 00:05:32.820
Your life is going to be harder,

00:05:32.820 --> 00:05:35.339
but there'll be a payoff after death.

00:05:35.339 --> 00:05:37.579
That's not what he's talking about either.

00:05:37.579 --> 00:05:39.899
I always think of that as the insurance salesman's

00:05:39.899 --> 00:05:42.660
approach to religion.

00:05:42.660 --> 00:05:44.220
Things are going to be worse now,

00:05:44.220 --> 00:05:45.579
but there'll be a payoff later.

00:05:45.579 --> 00:05:47.179
I mean, no one's been reporting back,

00:05:47.179 --> 00:05:50.179
but there's going to be a payoff.

00:05:50.179 --> 00:05:52.940
What Jesus says is, if you live the gospel,

00:05:52.940 --> 00:05:56.980
you'll know it because your life will be more joyful right now.

00:05:56.980 --> 00:05:59.899
And if someone preaches a gospel to you,

00:05:59.899 --> 00:06:04.700
that to follow it diminishes your experience of life,

00:06:04.700 --> 00:06:09.100
they or you have misunderstood the gospel.

00:06:09.100 --> 00:06:10.739
What we tend to do is say to people,

00:06:10.779 --> 00:06:13.179
well, of course the gospel's going to be hard on you

00:06:13.179 --> 00:06:15.579
because your life is so miserable.

00:06:15.579 --> 00:06:17.540
You're such an awful person.

00:06:17.540 --> 00:06:21.220
We would rather think of ourselves as morally awful

00:06:21.220 --> 00:06:23.579
than go, maybe we're just not smart enough

00:06:23.579 --> 00:06:25.260
and aren't getting it.

00:06:25.260 --> 00:06:27.540
Don't attack our smarts.

00:06:27.540 --> 00:06:28.980
Don't attack our intelligence.

00:06:28.980 --> 00:06:31.220
Don't tell us maybe we misunderstood

00:06:31.220 --> 00:06:33.140
and the gospel should make us happier.

00:06:33.140 --> 00:06:36.459
And if it doesn't, maybe we misunderstood it.

00:06:36.459 --> 00:06:38.940
And maybe when, you know, someone tells you that,

00:06:39.220 --> 00:06:41.059
and it's amazing what people will come up with,

00:06:41.059 --> 00:06:42.380
but, you know, there are so many,

00:06:42.380 --> 00:06:44.899
what I call the religious equivalents of,

00:06:44.899 --> 00:06:48.660
if you love God, you won't eat chocolate.

00:06:48.660 --> 00:06:51.260
Why?

00:06:51.260 --> 00:06:51.779
Why?

00:06:51.779 --> 00:06:54.940
There's some real arbitrary things that get thrown in.

00:06:54.940 --> 00:06:58.459
And Jesus gives us, and he kind of takes apart,

00:06:58.459 --> 00:07:00.899
trust me, the religion of the day was taken apart.

00:07:00.899 --> 00:07:02.660
He'd probably take apart just as many parts

00:07:02.660 --> 00:07:04.859
of our arbitrary religion now.

00:07:04.859 --> 00:07:06.899
He puts in an underpinning that says,

00:07:06.899 --> 00:07:08.779
you will have to make sacrifices,

00:07:08.779 --> 00:07:15.059
but your sacrifices will be creating joy for someone.

00:07:15.059 --> 00:07:18.660
Your sacrifices will be making someone's life better.

00:07:18.660 --> 00:07:20.980
Making sacrifices just to say,

00:07:20.980 --> 00:07:23.940
hey, I sacrificed something today.

00:07:23.940 --> 00:07:25.500
You know, that's always like me telling people

00:07:25.500 --> 00:07:30.100
at the beginning of Lent, I've given up Brussels sprouts.

00:07:30.100 --> 00:07:32.420
You know, I gave up something

00:07:32.420 --> 00:07:36.100
and whose life was made better by it?

00:07:36.100 --> 00:07:37.339
You know.

00:07:37.339 --> 00:07:38.739
So what's the joy?

00:07:38.739 --> 00:07:40.899
Jesus says, look, I'm not saying that your life

00:07:40.899 --> 00:07:44.179
will be perfect every day, but if you were to all do this,

00:07:44.179 --> 00:07:48.380
your lives as a whole would be more joyful.

00:07:48.380 --> 00:07:50.940
And so every sacrifice we ever make

00:07:50.940 --> 00:07:54.140
should be creating joy somewhere.

00:07:54.140 --> 00:07:56.579
And not just, well, in the heart of God,

00:07:56.579 --> 00:07:59.019
because in the heart of God usually means

00:07:59.019 --> 00:08:01.540
someone who's told me what will, you know,

00:08:01.540 --> 00:08:05.299
that you giving up chocolate will make God happy.

00:08:05.299 --> 00:08:08.859
God can make his own chocolate, trust me.

00:08:08.859 --> 00:08:13.339
You know, so my sacrifices, what is it creating?

00:08:13.339 --> 00:08:15.140
Where is the joy?

00:08:15.140 --> 00:08:17.619
And he hits that from the other side,

00:08:17.619 --> 00:08:19.339
and it sounds like a different topic, and it is,

00:08:19.339 --> 00:08:21.179
but it really balances this

00:08:21.179 --> 00:08:23.500
when he goes into his next topic, which is,

00:08:23.500 --> 00:08:26.899
that's why you have to love one another as I have loved you.

00:08:26.899 --> 00:08:28.579
And I've told you this before,

00:08:28.579 --> 00:08:32.700
I think the first three Gospels are kindergarten next to John.

00:08:32.700 --> 00:08:34.419
John is like the college level.

00:08:34.419 --> 00:08:35.659
The first three say,

00:08:35.659 --> 00:08:38.140
you treat people the way you want to be treated.

00:08:38.140 --> 00:08:40.460
Love others as you love yourself.

00:08:40.460 --> 00:08:42.099
Jesus says, yeah, don't do that.

00:08:42.099 --> 00:08:44.580
Most of you don't love yourself.

00:08:44.580 --> 00:08:47.500
And Jesus did not come down to say,

00:08:47.500 --> 00:08:49.659
I'll treat them well if they treat me well.

00:08:50.780 --> 00:08:54.539
John's Gospel takes the college approach and says,

00:08:54.539 --> 00:08:56.299
love them the way I do.

00:08:56.299 --> 00:08:59.580
And Jesus loved us even when we were not loving back.

00:08:59.580 --> 00:09:02.580
Jesus loved us because that's who he was,

00:09:02.580 --> 00:09:05.580
not because he's waiting to see how we'll behave

00:09:05.580 --> 00:09:07.940
to decide on who he's gonna be.

00:09:07.940 --> 00:09:10.820
And a lot of us spend our life doing that.

00:09:10.820 --> 00:09:14.580
I like to be a nice person, but if you're mean, I'll be mean.

00:09:14.580 --> 00:09:17.419
That's a pretty fluid personality.

00:09:17.419 --> 00:09:21.020
There's actually a psychological diagnosis

00:09:21.020 --> 00:09:23.940
that they call a cocktail personality,

00:09:23.940 --> 00:09:25.700
which is people who just mirror

00:09:25.700 --> 00:09:28.140
whatever personalities around them at the moment.

00:09:29.020 --> 00:09:31.179
And Jesus says, no, no, it's not about,

00:09:31.179 --> 00:09:32.299
if you're nice, I'll be nice.

00:09:33.020 --> 00:09:33.859
If you're not, I won't.

00:09:33.859 --> 00:09:35.659
It's deciding who you're gonna be in the world

00:09:35.659 --> 00:09:37.979
and be it no matter what.

00:09:37.979 --> 00:09:40.299
That's what Jesus did.

00:09:40.299 --> 00:09:42.260
He was nice, he was loving,

00:09:42.260 --> 00:09:44.659
because that's who he chose to be.

00:09:44.659 --> 00:09:48.900
And he wasn't mean to some and nice to others.

00:09:48.900 --> 00:09:51.380
And so he says, so you're called to love people

00:09:51.380 --> 00:09:52.340
the way I love you.

00:09:52.340 --> 00:09:56.820
And then he gives us what I call the velvet hammer,

00:09:56.820 --> 00:10:00.260
which is, so just remember that there's no greater love

00:10:00.299 --> 00:10:02.619
than laying down your life for a friend,

00:10:02.619 --> 00:10:07.619
which at first sounds so inspirational and almost romantic.

00:10:07.780 --> 00:10:11.580
To lay down your life for a friend, it's hard.

00:10:12.780 --> 00:10:15.299
And none of us, well not, I won't say none of us,

00:10:15.299 --> 00:10:16.340
never say never.

00:10:16.340 --> 00:10:20.020
Most of us will never be called to the cross.

00:10:20.020 --> 00:10:22.739
And I know you don't hear that in Christianity much,

00:10:22.739 --> 00:10:25.419
but when people say, oh, we're all called to the cross,

00:10:25.419 --> 00:10:28.539
it's because they've taken this horrific experience

00:10:28.539 --> 00:10:31.299
of Jesus and diluted it into something

00:10:31.299 --> 00:10:33.299
that's a little more palatable.

00:10:33.299 --> 00:10:35.619
So you know, when the neighbors put out lawn ornaments

00:10:35.619 --> 00:10:36.900
you don't like, you can say,

00:10:36.900 --> 00:10:39.619
I guess it's my cross to bear, burr, bear.

00:10:40.659 --> 00:10:44.260
No, that's not a cross, that's just you being judgmental.

00:10:44.260 --> 00:10:48.140
Oh, my family's a little annoying, that's not a cross.

00:10:48.140 --> 00:10:49.940
We take this dramatic moment of the cross

00:10:49.940 --> 00:10:52.260
and every time they serve a flavor ice cream we don't like,

00:10:52.260 --> 00:10:53.460
it's my cross.

00:10:54.859 --> 00:10:56.979
It dilutes what the cross is.

00:10:56.979 --> 00:11:00.539
Most of us will not have to sacrifice our life

00:11:00.539 --> 00:11:01.979
at that level.

00:11:01.979 --> 00:11:03.820
But there's a secondary level,

00:11:03.820 --> 00:11:07.020
and in some ways it's harder for us.

00:11:07.020 --> 00:11:10.179
And that is sacrificing your life for one another

00:11:10.179 --> 00:11:12.460
five minutes at a time.

00:11:13.900 --> 00:11:16.700
Every day you have is not a period of time,

00:11:16.700 --> 00:11:18.340
it's a period of your life.

00:11:18.340 --> 00:11:19.859
If you give an hour to something,

00:11:19.859 --> 00:11:22.739
you've given an hour of your life.

00:11:22.739 --> 00:11:25.059
And when people ask you for something

00:11:25.059 --> 00:11:27.419
and you have to give your life five minutes at a time,

00:11:27.419 --> 00:11:30.099
parents know this.

00:11:30.099 --> 00:11:32.739
It's not, when parents tell me they would jump

00:11:32.739 --> 00:11:35.979
in front of a bullet for their child, I believe them.

00:11:35.979 --> 00:11:37.979
Most of them will never have to do that.

00:11:39.020 --> 00:11:43.099
But 9 p.m. you're exhausted,

00:11:43.099 --> 00:11:45.340
Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mom,

00:11:45.340 --> 00:11:47.700
the next five minutes of your life is gone.

00:11:49.500 --> 00:11:51.659
And you have to give that over

00:11:51.659 --> 00:11:54.299
if you're going to give your life for a friend,

00:11:54.299 --> 00:11:57.580
or a family member, five minutes at a time.

00:11:57.580 --> 00:11:59.140
It's exhausting.

00:11:59.140 --> 00:12:01.219
And it's a tough balance.

00:12:01.219 --> 00:12:02.619
You know, as a pastor, I know,

00:12:02.619 --> 00:12:03.619
because people will say,

00:12:03.619 --> 00:12:04.460
you know, someone will come up

00:12:04.460 --> 00:12:06.419
and they'll need something right now,

00:12:06.419 --> 00:12:07.739
and you have to try and figure out

00:12:07.739 --> 00:12:10.260
whether you've already given that five minutes away

00:12:10.260 --> 00:12:11.260
to someone else.

00:12:12.260 --> 00:12:13.659
You know, sometimes just someone will say,

00:12:13.659 --> 00:12:14.619
oh, can you come help?

00:12:14.619 --> 00:12:18.099
And you've already agreed to go to a child's performance

00:12:18.099 --> 00:12:19.260
and be there for them.

00:12:20.659 --> 00:12:21.859
You've already given your life,

00:12:21.859 --> 00:12:23.059
and sometimes we think,

00:12:23.059 --> 00:12:25.059
oh, well, I'll take it back from them

00:12:25.059 --> 00:12:26.179
and give it to them.

00:12:26.179 --> 00:12:27.500
It's more difficult than you think.

00:12:27.500 --> 00:12:29.260
It's a balancing act.

00:12:29.260 --> 00:12:30.619
But when we get to the point where it's like,

00:12:30.619 --> 00:12:32.340
I'm tired of everyone else,

00:12:32.340 --> 00:12:33.179
you know, everyone says,

00:12:33.179 --> 00:12:34.859
well, I need my me time.

00:12:34.859 --> 00:12:35.820
It is interesting,

00:12:35.820 --> 00:12:37.179
and I know people will disagree with me.

00:12:37.179 --> 00:12:40.460
I found my me time to be less refreshing than I thought.

00:12:41.460 --> 00:12:43.059
Mostly because I'm there.

00:12:43.059 --> 00:12:45.859
But, you know,

00:12:45.859 --> 00:12:48.539
but sometimes you do need to refresh,

00:12:48.539 --> 00:12:51.099
but are you refreshing so that you can go out

00:12:51.099 --> 00:12:52.859
and give our lives again?

00:12:52.859 --> 00:12:55.059
Giving our lives a little bit at a time.

00:12:55.059 --> 00:13:00.059
Making our sacrifices for the joy of ourselves and others,

00:13:00.099 --> 00:13:01.419
rather than just,

00:13:01.419 --> 00:13:02.820
well, someone told me to give that up

00:13:02.820 --> 00:13:04.179
and not do this and that.

00:13:04.179 --> 00:13:06.979
To understand, if I'm doing this,

00:13:06.979 --> 00:13:08.739
I should be aware that there's a joy

00:13:08.739 --> 00:13:10.700
being created somewhere.

00:13:10.700 --> 00:13:12.780
And I think a lot of people will go to the,

00:13:12.780 --> 00:13:13.659
well, you know, you just,

00:13:13.659 --> 00:13:15.820
you can't question the mind of God

00:13:15.820 --> 00:13:18.900
because they don't want to get into that discussion.

00:13:18.900 --> 00:13:19.820
And whenever someone says,

00:13:19.820 --> 00:13:21.659
look, it's the mind of God,

00:13:21.659 --> 00:13:22.659
and you don't question it,

00:13:22.659 --> 00:13:23.859
what they really mean is,

00:13:23.859 --> 00:13:26.299
I speak for God, don't question me.

00:13:27.340 --> 00:13:29.299
That's always what that translates to.

00:13:30.260 --> 00:13:33.500
You know, I speak for God, don't question me.

00:13:33.500 --> 00:13:35.340
The church has had to struggle with this

00:13:35.340 --> 00:13:39.059
because, you know, we've moved away so much from the,

00:13:39.059 --> 00:13:40.900
you know, they used to say that

00:13:40.900 --> 00:13:44.299
this is where the interpretation of God comes from,

00:13:44.299 --> 00:13:45.140
is the clergy.

00:13:45.140 --> 00:13:48.020
And then we had all the clergy scandals.

00:13:48.020 --> 00:13:49.859
And I saw it sort of morph.

00:13:49.859 --> 00:13:52.020
And they were hoping no one would notice

00:13:52.020 --> 00:13:53.700
if we came out a few years later.

00:13:53.700 --> 00:13:55.780
And because we could no longer

00:13:55.780 --> 00:13:58.419
hold up a moral high ground,

00:13:58.419 --> 00:14:00.500
we started saying, we have the truth.

00:14:01.539 --> 00:14:04.099
And that means, even if we're morally corrupt,

00:14:04.099 --> 00:14:06.059
we've got the mind of God.

00:14:06.059 --> 00:14:08.460
Actually, the gospel is not a mind thing,

00:14:08.460 --> 00:14:09.659
it's a heart thing.

00:14:10.900 --> 00:14:14.380
And it has to be interpreted through that heart of love,

00:14:14.380 --> 00:14:17.900
not through some wonderful mind of theology.

00:14:18.940 --> 00:14:20.859
It's about the relationships.

00:14:20.859 --> 00:14:22.580
It's about the people we care for.

00:14:22.580 --> 00:14:25.219
And if we can't get out there and give our lives

00:14:25.219 --> 00:14:26.260
five minutes at a time,

00:14:26.260 --> 00:14:28.820
we'll probably never have the correct lens

00:14:28.820 --> 00:14:29.859
to read scripture.

00:14:30.859 --> 00:14:33.140
And so we ask God today to make us a people

00:14:33.140 --> 00:14:37.099
who can sacrifice our lives five minutes at a time

00:14:37.099 --> 00:14:38.539
to bring joy to others.

00:14:38.539 --> 00:14:40.940
That we can make any of the sacrifices we need

00:14:40.940 --> 00:14:42.580
to bring joy to the world,

00:14:42.580 --> 00:14:45.900
but to really believe that that is the lens

00:14:45.900 --> 00:14:47.940
through which we see our gospel.

00:14:47.940 --> 00:14:51.260
If someone has given me a gospel

00:14:51.260 --> 00:14:54.179
that not only doesn't create joy in my life,

00:14:54.179 --> 00:14:58.539
seems to really diminish and edit out

00:14:58.539 --> 00:15:01.380
great moments of joy for me and for others,

00:15:01.380 --> 00:15:03.700
we've misinterpreted the gospel.

00:15:03.700 --> 00:15:06.780
Jesus brought it so that we could know joy

00:15:06.780 --> 00:15:07.820
and know it fully.

Father Pat's message centers on the profound and challenging truth that the heart of the Gospel is love—an initiating, sacrificial, and joy-giving love that flows from the Father to Jesus and through Jesus to us. This love is not a burdensome command but a transformative invitation to live in a way that generates joy in ourselves and others. Father Pat emphasizes that Christian discipleship is not about mere rule-following or self-denial for its own sake; it is about embodying the love of Christ in real, sacrificial, and relational ways—often in small, daily acts of giving our time, attention, and presence. If our understanding of the Gospel does not lead to deeper joy, compassion, and connection, we have likely misunderstood it. The Gospel must be interpreted through the lens of love, not fear, guilt, or intellectual pride.

Father Pat begins by acknowledging the density and depth of this passage from John's Gospel, which encapsulates several major theological themes in just a few verses. He calls it a “table of contents” for the entire Gospel of John, touching on divine love, obedience, friendship, joy, sacrifice, and mission. The foundational thread is that love begins with God: “As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you.” This divine origin of love reframes our understanding of Christian ethics—not as arbitrary commands but as participation in God's own relational life.

He warns against misinterpreting Jesus' call to obedience—“If you love me, you will keep my commandments”—as manipulative or coercive. In human relationships, such a statement would be a red flag. But from Jesus, who commands only that we love one another, it's a call to integrity: love for Christ cannot be separated from love for others. This leads to a powerful quote from Dorothy Day: “You love God as much as you love the person you love least.” Father Pat uses this to challenge superficial or sentimental notions of love and to root divine love in practical, often difficult, human relationships.

A central insight of the homily is the often-neglected emphasis on joy. Jesus says, “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.” Father Pat critiques how religion is often introduced through fear, guilt, or moralism rather than joy. He calls out cultural and ecclesial tendencies to equate holiness with misery, as if to follow God is to endure a joyless life now for the promise of reward later. He humorously refers to this as the “insurance salesman’s approach to religion”—suffer now, benefit later. But this is not the Gospel Jesus preached. Real faith should make us more joyful now, not less.

This joy, however, is not superficial happiness or avoidance of sacrifice. Rather, joy is the fruit of living in the love of Christ, which demands the giving of ourselves. Jesus redefines love in terms of self-giving: “No one has greater love than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” Father Pat challenges the romanticization of this phrase and instead brings it into the realm of the everyday. Most of us will not be called to martyrdom, but we are called to lay down our lives five minutes at a time—for our children, our spouses, our friends, our communities. This kind of love is exhausting and inconvenient, but it is also the path to real joy.

He further critiques religious systems that make arbitrary moral demands detached from love and joy—what he calls “the religious equivalents of ‘if you love God, you won’t eat chocolate.’” These distortions of faith miss the point. Every sacrifice we make should be in service of creating joy, not merely fulfilling a rule. Sacrifice divorced from joy is empty; it becomes a performance rather than an offering.

Father Pat also highlights the difference between the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) and John’s Gospel. While the former teach the Golden Rule—“Love your neighbor as yourself”—Jesus in John raises the bar: “Love one another as I have loved you.” This is not conditional love based on reciprocity. It is a self-originating love, like Christ’s own, that does not depend on how others treat us. Many people fluctuate in their goodness based on how they are treated—a “cocktail personality,” as Father Pat puts it. But the love of Jesus is consistent, chosen, and freely given.

The homily ends with a reflection on how the Gospel must be read through the heart, not merely the intellect. The scandals and failures of religious institutions have shown that moral authority without love is hollow. The Gospel is not about possessing intellectual or theological correctness; it is about having a heart that reflects the love of God. If our interpretation of scripture or religious practice does not lead us to greater joy, compassion, and willingness to give our lives—five minutes at a time—for the good of others, we have missed the point.

Father Pat prays that we become people who live the Gospel in such a way that joy is made real in the world—not joy as fleeting happiness, but as the deep fulfillment that comes from loving as Christ loves. This is the lens through which all scripture must be read: love that initiates, sacrifices, and brings joy. Anything else is a misreading of the Gospel.
