• 01:18 David: Thank you so much for joining us today.
• 01:19 I'm David Hart.
• 01:21 Kirsten Hart: I'm Kirsten Hart.
• 01:22 Jeffrey Seif: I am Jeffrey Seif,
• 01:23 and welcome to "Prince of Peace: Sar Shalom."
• 01:26 David: Yes.
• 01:27 Kirsten: It's good but today is all about relationships,
• 01:29 how we should behave with each other, correct?
• 01:32 Jeffrey: Yes, in fact, and they don't always go perfectly.
• 01:35 I mention in the teaching, now this goes back to 2005.
• 01:39 I mention Patty and I.
• 01:41 Patty has since gone on to her reward of ovarian cancer
• 01:44 was the chariot that picked her up, and you know,
• 01:47 I've remarried since then, Barri, Barri Cae.
• 01:51 And she's the princess of peace.
• 01:53 I can say that she's the way, the truth, and the wife.
• 01:56 I mean, it's great to have a partner to bring peace and,
• 02:00 of course, the Lord is our partner who brings us peace
• 02:02 and that's what we're looking at exploring.
• 02:04 Kirsten: And it's interesting you mention that this series is
• 02:06 a few years old.
• 02:07 You're in a different stage in your life right now with Barri,
• 02:12 but it's kind of like those modes of behavior,
• 02:14 should I say, even 2000 years ago.
• 02:17 They haven't changed much.
• 02:19 We still should treat each other the same.
• 02:20 Jeffrey: Correct, and to your point,
• 02:21 the principles are timeless.
• 02:23 There's a Jewish expression, l'dor v'dor,
• 02:25 "from generation to generation.
• 02:27 And we need to keep telling this story to a next and a next,
• 02:30 to an upcoming generation, to the young.
• 02:33 These principles are timeless and they're very important.
• 02:35 David: I say it's important now but it was important back
• 02:37 in the day for them also.
• 02:39 Jeffrey: Oh yes, it was radically different.
• 02:40 I mean, Yeshua came, telling people how they can have peace.
• 02:45 You know, he's called the Prince of Peace for a reason.
• 02:47 And so many people are looking for it,
• 02:50 it's in such high demand and such short supply
• 02:52 and that's the human condition and he's the answer.
• 02:55 David: We love your teaching today.
• 02:56 Let's go to the Galilee now as we start today's program.
• 03:02 Jesus: [speaking in Hebrew]
• 03:27 narrator: To those who had gathered that day on the mount,
• 03:31 it must have seemed peculiar.
• 03:33 Love your enemies?
• 03:36 Do good to those who hate you?
• 03:39 They would soon find reason to apply the Lord's teaching.
• 03:44 A man wrestles with the wheel of his broken wagon.
• 03:47 The town's know-it-all ridicules him,
• 03:52 berating him to no end.
• 03:54 If there was ever a reason to hate your enemy,
• 03:57 this would be the time.
• 03:59 ♪♪♪
• 04:05 narrator: But the Lord's word resonates: "Do good to those who
• 04:09 hate you and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute
• 04:14 you that you may be sons of your Father in heaven."
• 04:24 Jeffrey: We're involved in webs of relationships, aren't we?
• 04:28 And sometimes, those relationships sour, don't they?
• 04:32 The question is how do we deal with all of that?
• 04:36 In a world where tensions rise and with it our fermenting
• 04:41 discontents come to the surface and we find ourselves sometimes
• 04:45 pushed around by others and sometimes pushing around others.
• 04:49 How do we deal with all of that?
• 04:52 Well, you saw in the preceding drama that sometimes people
• 04:55 just rage and blame and point fingers.
• 04:58 What does Jesus say?
• 05:00 Behind me is the place where the Lord gave the
• 05:03 Sermon on the Mount, so-called, and underneath me is
• 05:06 the Sea of Galilee and in my hand is the Bible.
• 05:10 Let's look and see what Jesus said about dealing
• 05:12 with precarious interpersonal situations.
• 05:16 In chapter 5 Jesus says that we should love our enemies.
• 05:24 The verb "to love," ahav in Hebrew,
• 05:26 means to do good on behalf of.
• 05:29 Doesn't mean to always feel good.
• 05:31 Sometimes, at the feeling level, I get wrapped around the axle
• 05:34 and you probably do too.
• 05:36 But the Lord says that we'd do well to look to be loving,
• 05:38 difficulties aside.
• 05:40 He says that we should, "bless those who curse."
• 05:45 Truth is, is all this is easier said than done, isn't it?
• 05:49 But just keep in mind, it's not me that said it.
• 05:51 It's the Lord.
• 05:53 If I understand him correctly, that benefits accrue
• 05:56 when we endeavor to be blessings to people
• 05:59 that aren't blessings themselves.
• 06:01 He says, "And to do good to those who,"
• 06:04 quote, "spitefully use you."
• 06:08 Judeo-Christian ethics bid us to do mitzvahot,
• 06:13 to do blessings, to do good in the world,
• 06:17 even in a world that's not very good to us.
• 06:20 Fascinating.
• 06:21 I found in my own life and I don't know about yours
• 06:24 but sometimes, me and Patty get tangled up.
• 06:27 Patty's my wife of 23½ years now and, you know,
• 06:31 sometimes we just-- it's usually my fault.
• 06:34 What I find with her is that when we get, you know,
• 06:38 like cousins and wife, we have, cousins and wife, we have,
• 06:41 What I find is when she opts just to be gracious and gentile,
• 06:46 "Oh, listen, Jeff, okay, enough.
• 06:48 God bless you," it defuses me.
• 06:50 When people are ramping up, it doesn't do any good to try and,
• 06:53 you know, raise the levels.
• 06:56 Important is the de-escalation of conflicts
• 07:00 that are cascading upwards.
• 07:03 And if I understand the Lord on all this,
• 07:05 we wanna do good to those.
• 07:07 We want to endeavor to be a blessing.
• 07:09 We want to try and love others.
• 07:12 Truth be known, though it seems to go patently against the grain
• 07:16 at one level, it's a great recipe for healing,
• 07:21 for wholeness.
• 07:23 It's a great recipe for the recovery of equilibrium,
• 07:26 though our natures don't necessarily abide
• 07:29 the practice easily.
• 07:31 Jesus says other things and in verse 48 he closes,
• 07:34 saying, "You must be perfect, even as your heavenly Father
• 07:39 is perfect."
• 07:41 And at one level, that can be an oppressing verse, can't it?
• 07:44 'Cause the truth of the matter is,
• 07:45 is that none of us really are perfect.
• 07:48 I think, by the way, the word is misconstrued
• 07:50 because we don't understand the original language.
• 07:52 Tam in Hebrew, or tamim, is the original in that.
• 07:58 It means to be indiscriminate, it means to be fair and balanced
• 08:04 in dealings with others.
• 08:06 And this is what the Lord is talking about,
• 08:07 that in our relationships with others,
• 08:10 let's be kindly disposed, let's not be begrudging.
• 08:14 Let's realize that we all have our good days and our bad days.
• 08:18 And let's realize most of all that if we follow Jesus
• 08:21 by virtue of our so doing, we'll get the better
• 08:24 of vexing situations and people.
• 08:29 Jesus: [speaking in Hebrew]
• 08:43 narrator: For some, the city gate was a place to buy
• 08:46 and sell, while for others it was simply a place to be seen
• 08:50 for the fine rich robes and for one's good deeds.
• 08:57 Charitable deeds are honorable, the Lord has said,
• 09:01 but not when they are flaunted.
• 09:04 Such giving does merit a reward,
• 09:07 but not from the Father in heaven.
• 09:18 Jeffrey: Frankly, I'm thrilled when anyone opts to be
• 09:20 charitable because I know that poor people benefit
• 09:23 from the gift.
• 09:26 But what amazes me personally is the way some people in the
• 09:29 process of so doing demonstrate they're really not about wanting
• 09:33 to give to others, but instead they're about gleaning something
• 09:35 from others.
• 09:37 Some sense of how righteous I am, how good I am.
• 09:41 And frankly, friends, that spoils everything.
• 09:44 It spoils the person, it ruins the person.
• 09:47 That's why the Lord says in chapter 6, verse 1, he says,
• 09:51 "Take heed to yourself for when you do a charitable deed,"
• 09:55 don't do that, in effect.
• 09:58 I grew up in a Jewish home, and in Jewish homes we have
• 10:04 a Shabbos meal, a Friday meal, and there's what's called
• 10:08 a tzedakah box at the dinner table where individuals
• 10:11 come in and they're beckoned to put something in there
• 10:15 and fill up the box and send it away to a charity.
• 10:18 The charity box is called a tzedakah box.
• 10:20 The word "tzedakah" comes from tzadik;
• 10:23 it means to be righteous.
• 10:25 The point is there's something religious,
• 10:28 there's something wonderful, there's something when
• 10:30 individuals are devout and they give of themselves like this,
• 10:34 as an extension of biblical faith and virtue.
• 10:38 If I understand the Lord correctly,
• 10:40 he says, "Do that."
• 10:42 Of course, we live in a world today where the needs are great
• 10:45 and we need individuals to rise up and be kindly disposed.
• 10:48 I'm challenged by that to ask the question,
• 10:51 "Lord, how do you want me to be giving?
• 10:53 What does that mean for me, monetarily?"
• 10:56 It's just not me talking to you about,
• 10:57 "Oh, support this ministry," or I have to talk to myself
• 11:01 about what it means to be loving, caring, and sharing.
• 11:04 In the process of working through all that,
• 11:07 I'm warned here, don't be pompous in the giving, Jeffrey.
• 11:12 But more importantly for my purposes,
• 11:14 and this is something I really wanna commend to you,
• 11:17 concerned as you might be, naturally so in the world that
• 11:20 we live in where money seems to be in high demand
• 11:24 and short supply, when you have to ask the question,
• 11:28 how you can attend to your business,
• 11:30 what I want you to hear in this is that in the giving,
• 11:33 there is a getting.
• 11:36 And not the kind of getting that you garner by impressing
• 11:39 the world how pompous you are, but consider with me please
• 11:42 how the Lord says, quote, "and your Father who sees
• 11:45 in secret will reward you."
• 11:50 Just let's land on those words for a second.
• 11:54 He says, "Listen, be giving.
• 11:55 Don't let anybody know.
• 11:57 Do it in secret.
• 11:58 And you know what?
• 11:59 Your Father who's in secret, sees."
• 12:05 If we can just put some flesh on the parable,
• 12:09 if we can just put some application to the message,
• 12:15 the point is that if we're caring,
• 12:17 if we're loving, God sees that and, friends,
• 12:20 there's a blessing in that, if we'll opt to be that.
• 12:26 I'm ramping up a little.
• 12:27 I want us--I don't wanna sound preachy but I want you
• 12:30 to hear me--not even me.
• 12:32 To hear Jesus on this.
• 12:34 The Lord who sees in secret will reward you.
• 12:40 When you give a charitable deed, do it, God sees that
• 12:44 you're doing it, and there's a way that he's gonna reward you
• 12:48 in the doing.
• 12:51 It's a word that Jesus gave 2000 years ago.
• 12:54 It had a lot of relevance today.
• 12:57 It's a message for today.
• 12:59 It means something to you, it means something to me.
• 13:03 May we all be loving, caring, and sharing individuals,
• 13:06 and watch the miracle how God blesses us by virtue
• 13:11 of our so being.

• 14:38 David: In this whole series, you're going to see tons of
• 14:41 beautiful footage from probably one of our number one places
• 14:46 we love to hang out in the world.
• 14:49 That's Tiberias, the Sea of Galilee.
• 14:51 We would love for you to join us on a tour in the spring
• 14:54 and the fall.
• 14:55 Kirsten: Right, we go two times a year.
• 14:56 If you go to our website, levitt.com, click on the,
• 14:58 "Tour" page, all kinds of information.
• 15:00 One of our favorite things that we do right
• 15:02 in the Tiberias area, right on the Sea of Galilee,
• 15:06 is we have a special lunch on our--one of our tour days
• 15:09 and we eat what they call a Saint Peter's fish.
• 15:13 It's tilapia and one of the coins--usually one person
• 15:16 in our group will have a coin in the fish's mouth.
• 15:19 It's just a fun lunch and that's something
• 15:21 that's part of our tour.
• 15:22 We add so many extra bonuses in when we go to Israel.
• 15:26 We'd love for you to come with us.
• 15:28 Now, let's go back up to the Galilee to hear more
• 15:31 of today's teaching.
• 15:34 Jesus: [speaking in Hebrew]
• 16:07 narrator: "Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us
• 16:11 our debts, as we forgive our debtors and do not lead us into
• 16:16 temptation but deliver us from the evil one for yours is
• 16:20 the kingdom and the power and glory forever, amen."
• 16:30 Jeffrey: They came to Yeshua, Jesus, and said,
• 16:32 "Lord, teach us to pray."
• 16:34 They wanted to daven, which is the Jewish term for it,
• 16:38 and Yeshua weighed in like this.
• 16:39 He says, "Well, go with this, guys."
• 16:41 It's called the Lord's Prayer but it's really the disciples'
• 16:44 prayer for my money because he's telling us how to do it.
• 16:47 And what does he say?
• 16:49 He says, "[speaking in Hebrew]"
• 16:53 Our Father who art in heaven," following with,
• 16:56 "hallowed be thy name."
• 16:59 I know it sounds so very religious and Christian on
• 17:02 one hand but it is such a Jewish prayer to petition God
• 17:09 the Father in heaven with mention of the sanctification
• 17:13 of his name is very, very Jewish.
• 17:16 A major doctrine in Judaism by the way is what's called
• 17:18 Kadosh HaShem and, conversely, Chillul HaShem.
• 17:23 It means to sanctify the name or to vilify the name.
• 17:27 The point is that it's incumbent upon Jewish people from
• 17:30 a Jewish perspective, the people of Israel are to make
• 17:34 God's name look good in the world and why is that?
• 17:36 Because we're named after God, Yisra-el, the Prince of God,
• 17:42 and it's incumbent upon the citizens
• 17:44 of that commonwealth to represent him well.
• 17:46 Yeshua says as much in his own way,
• 17:49 and Judaism does much the same.
• 17:51 I'm looking here at a prayer book,
• 17:53 a common prayer, "[speaking in Hebrew]
• 18:00 May the greatness of his name be blessed forever and ever."
• 18:05 A prayer, by the way, that's recited in Jewish liturgy
• 18:09 the world over and has been for some time.
• 18:13 Jesus was a Jew, and he was commending the same sort
• 18:17 of vision, now, wasn't he?
• 18:19 But there's a nuance in Jesus that he go to underscore
• 18:23 that I wanna share with you.
• 18:24 In the Sermon on the Mount, "Our Father who art in heaven,
• 18:28 hallowed be thy name.
• 18:30 Thy kingdom come," et cetera.
• 18:31 Very Jewish.
• 18:33 "And forgive us our trespasses," and hear me,
• 18:36 "as we forgive those who trespass against us."
• 18:41 There's a comment, "Lead us not into temptation,
• 18:45 deliver us from evil."
• 18:47 Inasmuch as individuals are inclined to petition God,
• 18:50 "God, come into my world and forgive me," Yeshua goes
• 18:55 on record beckoning individuals to enter into his world,
• 18:58 to be agents of forgiveness themselves.
• 19:02 The Lord's Prayer isn't thus about calling on God
• 19:06 to perform in a certain way, though that's there.
• 19:08 But there's an important ingredient here where,
• 19:11 in conjunction with that, we are called to perform
• 19:14 in a certain way and God knows it's really hard to love
• 19:17 the unlovable, is it not?
• 19:20 And everyone said, "Amen."
• 19:22 The Lord says in verse 14 after this, you know,
• 19:25 "If you forgive men their trespasses,"
• 19:27 God help us, it's hard.
• 19:29 If we forgive men their trespasses, he says,
• 19:32 "Your heavenly Father similarly will do likewise,
• 19:35 will forgive you."
• 19:37 But, and there's always a but, conversely, if you don't,
• 19:41 he won't.
• 19:44 In the Lord's Prayer, and when we pray,
• 19:46 we particularly beckon God for forgiveness and help,
• 19:51 the Lord turns that around in a certain way on this day
• 19:55 and beckons individuals to go out in the world and
• 19:58 give some help and exercise some forgiveness.
• 20:02 This is part of the Lord's Prayer and it's instruction
• 20:05 for me, and God knows I need the help,
• 20:07 and it's instruction for you, and he knows
• 20:10 you might need it as well.
• 20:13 Learn to spend some time with God.
• 20:15 Seek him, seek his presence, and then look to manifest
• 20:19 his presence in the world at large.
• 20:24 David: I love what Kirsten says about the Lord's Prayer.
• 20:27 Tell 'em what your thought is on that.
• 20:29 Kirsten: Well, my thought is from your teaching,
• 20:31 we've discussed this.
• 20:33 You said the Lord's Prayer is very Jewish and I--we grew up
• 20:37 in the church and we kind of think--I'm being serious,
• 20:39 like, the Christians think that's theirs.
• 20:41 Like, it's not a Jewish thing.
• 20:43 The Lord's Prayer is-- that belongs to the church.
• 20:45 Jeffrey: Right, well, there's a reason why we call this thing,
• 20:47 "Our Jewish Roots," is that people would be surprised
• 20:50 how Jewish the Jesus story is, and I like looking at Jesus as,
• 20:54 you know, the rabbi.
• 20:56 You know, of course, we did a series,
• 20:57 "The Rabbi from Tarsus," Paul, but Yeshua,
• 21:01 they called him "Rabbi" too.
• 21:02 And you know, a lot of what we hear him saying in the
• 21:06 New Testament has underlying Hebraic idiom associated with it
• 21:10 that's lost to moderns.
• 21:12 Kirsten: Like how you said in the beginning
• 21:13 of the Lord's Prayer, that our Father who art in heaven,
• 21:16 calling out who he is, is a very Jewish thing.
• 21:19 Jeffrey: It is, but the difference is there it's not--
• 21:21 in the Jewish world, there's a little more distance.
• 21:26 He's the Father, he's a Father, it's reverential.
• 21:29 That "our Father," that harks to the nature of a relationship
• 21:32 with divinity brought about by the Prince of Peace,
• 21:36 that is something that's more unique, distinctive,
• 21:40 that Yeshua brought about.
• 21:42 People were less inclined to be as up close and personal.
• 21:46 Kirsten: Oh, I like that.
• 21:48 No, that's just really good. I didn't even think about that.
• 21:50 "The" Father to "Our" Father.
• 21:52 Jeffrey: Right, and there it is,
• 21:53 the Prince of Peace, you know?
• 21:54 It's a lot of people, because of sin and circumstance,
• 21:58 you, you, me, we feel alienated from God.
• 22:02 Sometimes rightly so, because our sins make a separation.
• 22:05 Other times, it's not that we're separated.
• 22:07 It's just that our circumstances are so abysmal,
• 22:09 for whatever reason we have trouble finding the peace.
• 22:12 But which reminds me to a point you alighted upon earlier
• 22:15 in the program in Matthew 17.
• 22:18 They didn't have any money and Yeshua said, "Go fishing,"
• 22:20 and they pulled a fish and there was a coin in the mouth.
• 22:22 God has a way of helping people in miraculous ways to bring
• 22:26 about peace and help, yes?
• 22:28 Kirsten: Mm-hm.
• 22:29 David: I think another thing in your teaching
• 22:31 in this week's program is doing good for others.
• 22:34 Yeshua did it and he asks us to do it also.
• 22:38 Kirsten: And to do it in secret.
• 22:39 David: In private.
• 22:41 Kirsten: That was good.
• 22:42 Jeffrey: Yes, well--
• 22:43 Yeah, you know, it's-- there's a Jewish expression,
• 22:45 "tikkun olam," to repair the world.
• 22:47 You know, there's lots of problems in this world.
• 22:48 We wanna be part of the cure.
• 22:50 And the word "forgiveness," "forgiving," comes
• 22:53 from two words: "for" and "give."
• 22:55 That is to say, we should be for giving,
• 22:58 whether it's giving a dollar to help someone out,
• 23:00 a TV minister--ministry, whether it's giving someone a break,
• 23:03 you know?
• 23:05 The Lord is for giving and we wanna be for giving too.
• 23:08 Kirsten: Without calling it out and letting the world know.
• 23:12 Jeffrey: Yes, because the Lord has a way of giving out rewards
• 23:15 later on down the road.
• 23:17 If it's public, then you get your reward now.
• 23:19 That was the Lord's point.
• 23:20 David: It's a blessing.
• 23:21 Kirsten: Right, it is and great teaching.
• 23:23 We have more to come. Stay with us.
• 23:27 David: If you only watch us on television,
• 23:28 you're missing additional content available
• 23:31 only on our social media sites: Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.
• 23:35 You can always visit our website which is home base
• 23:38 for all of our ministry activities and information.
• 23:42 There you can sign up for our free monthly newsletter,
• 23:45 watch the TV program, or visit the online store.
• 23:49 Join us as we tour Israel and Petra.
• 23:52 Please contact us for more information.
• 23:54 We would love to hear from you.
• 23:58 Kirsten: One of my favorite things about social media is
• 24:00 that it connects a single person with the rest of the world.
• 24:04 And what I love about our social media,
• 24:07 with "Our Jewish Roots," is it connects us to all of you.
• 24:11 So please join us, find us, we are on YouTube,
• 24:14 Twitter, Facebook.
• 24:16 We have a large presence, a large following on Facebook,
• 24:19 and we'd love to meet you there.
• 24:21 David: There's so much more than just this program.
• 24:22 The Bearded Bible Brothers.
• 24:24 If you haven't seen them, they're great.
• 24:27 We have lots of interviews and things like that.
• 24:29 Kirsten: A lot of extra things on social media.
• 24:31 David: News articles, so much.
• 24:32 We'd love for you to join us on that.
• 24:34 Kirsten: You're on social media.
• 24:35 Jeffrey: Well, yeah, but truth be known,
• 24:37 that's really not my medium.
• 24:39 That is to say, I'm, you know, 65.
• 24:42 I'm rather old school.
• 24:44 I'm less involved with the Facebook and the Instagrams
• 24:46 and the Twitters and whatever it's all called, I mean.
• 24:49 But the thing is, it's the young, the more so,
• 24:51 from my understanding, that engage it.
• 24:54 That's the good news. We've got to get to the young.
• 24:56 The bad news is, is that they usually don't support ministries
• 24:59 and, if you're young and you're watching,
• 25:01 I wanna thank you if you do.
• 25:03 But if you're not young and you're watching,
• 25:05 I want to ask you if you'll please help us to reach
• 25:08 the young and, to that end, whether it's television,
• 25:10 whether it's the social network, there's people,
• 25:14 there's computers, there's airtime,
• 25:16 there's things that play, to help us get it out there.
• 25:19 And the truth of the matter is the gospel advances,
• 25:21 whether it's in a local church or a television ministry,
• 25:24 it advances because people see value in it.
• 25:28 And if you see value in what we do,
• 25:30 the way we do it, if you like the good news through the eyes
• 25:33 of the Jews, please help us to tell that story
• 25:35 and make a generous gift now.
• 25:38 God'll see you doing it.
• 25:39 David: The way we do it through dramatic reenactments
• 25:41 and you standing, I think you said,
• 25:43 "on the Sea of Galilee."
• 25:45 I don't think you were walking on the Sea of Galilee, but--
• 25:46 Kirsten: I think you could walk on the water.
• 25:48 Jeffrey: Your wife respects me.
• 25:49 She holds me in high regard but I only know one person that
• 25:51 walked on the Sea of Galilee.
• 25:52 David: Yes, pretty phenomenal what you've done there.
• 25:54 Jeffrey: You ought to try it, see if you can do it.
• 25:56 David: I love swimming in there.
• 25:57 Jeffrey: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what you'll do, I bet.
• 25:59 David: More to come next week, and we end
• 26:00 with a song from our founder, Zola Levitt.
• 26:03 But before we do that.
• 26:04 Jeffrey: A word from the Scripture:
• 26:06 "Shaalu shalom Yerushalayim."
• 26:08 Kirsten: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
