Caption transcript for Much Like Peter: “Beyond Israel’s borders” (8/9)

• 00:01 David Hart: Shalom. Hello again.
• 00:03 Are you limiting your mission field
• 00:05 because of bias or prejudice?
• 00:07 Peter did until he had a vision.
• 00:09 We talk about that next on "Our Jewish Roots"
• 00:12 with Bible teaching by Dr. Jeffrey Seif.
• 00:14 ♪♪♪
• 00:20 male narrator: Sunrise on the Galilee, Simon Peter prepares
• 00:23 his nets for a day at sea.
• 00:26 Much like the sea, Peter is unpredictable, calm and steady
• 00:32 and then, in an instant, tempestuous.
• 00:35 As we reflect upon the Lord's most intriguing disciple,
• 00:39 we can see ourselves because we, too, have been broken
• 00:44 and then restored.
• 00:46 We, too, in so many ways, are much like Peter.
• 00:51 ♪♪♪
• 00:56 David: We're so glad you've joined us today.
• 00:58 I am David Hart.
• 00:59 Kirsten Hart: I'm Kirsten Hart.
• 01:01 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: I'm Jeffrey Seif.
• 01:03 David: Well, this is the last program in our series,
• 01:04 and we hope you've enjoyed it.
• 01:06 If you've missed any of our programs, we wanna encourage you
• 01:08 to get on our website, go back, and watch what we've brought
• 01:12 to you in this series.
• 01:14 Invite a friend.
• 01:15 It's been really great hearing from you all about Peter and the
• 01:19 miracles that have taken place.
• 01:21 Thank you.
• 01:23 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Well, you're kind, and it's just such
• 01:24 an honor to be able to reconstruct the lives of these
• 01:27 noteworthies in the Bible, and Peter is just a great study
• 01:31 in God's grace.
• 01:33 Kirsten: And, again, we need to give him grace as he has this
• 01:37 vision of the blanket, if you will, coming down with these
• 01:42 unclean foods, and he's goin', that's not my stuff.
• 01:45 I don't touch that."
• 01:46 This is a whole different world right now opening up
• 01:49 for Peter, isn't it?
• 01:50 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Yeah, I tap into that
• 01:51 in the teaching segment.
• 01:53 You know, Peter had trouble looking beyond the borders
• 01:55 of his own nose, and, in that sense,
• 01:57 we're all much like Peter.
• 01:58 He had problems with the brother from another mother and just
• 02:02 wanted to keep it closed, but God was pushing him to go beyond
• 02:05 his comfort zone to deal with people that were not--you know,
• 02:08 that he didn't prefer.
• 02:11 Kirsten: Right, and that were considered, should I say, kind
• 02:13 of, unclean, like the foods coming down.
• 02:16 He was a good Jew still, right?
• 02:18 "You don't touch that stuff, you don't touch those people, you
• 02:19 don't go there, you don't do that," and God's going, "It's
• 02:23 time to reach out," right?
• 02:25 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Yeah, you know, it's just not the way, you
• 02:29 know, to look at people as unclean and jaded.
• 02:30 It's, you know, the grace of God isn't gonna flow from someone
• 02:32 that's, like--it takes someone who's more open to the broader
• 02:36 culture.
• 02:38 Kirsten: And that's what happens to Peter today.
• 02:39 David: There's more to Peter story.
• 02:41 Let's go to Israel right now.
• 02:45 narrator: Morning dawns in Jerusalem, and contention swells
• 02:49 among the brethren regarding Peter's recent vision concerning
• 02:52 Gentiles in the kingdom of God.
• 02:55 Even Andrew, Peter's brother, is left wondering.

• 04:30 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: People have, what I call, "standards of
• 04:33 acceptability," certain conventions that we deem
• 04:37 acceptable, certain, we don't; certain people we seem to be
• 04:42 acceptable, others that don't seem to be acceptable.
• 04:46 I mention that because Peter possessed that.
• 04:51 We could call it "prejudice," "bias."
• 04:54 I mention that because Luke, Paul's biographer, gives voice
• 04:59 to it in his accounting of the gospel's expansion beyond
• 05:04 Israel's borders.
• 05:06 First, through Peter, in the 11th chapter of Acts, the story
• 05:12 is recounted or we come upon it earlier when it takes a miracle,
• 05:18 a vision, divine intervention, for Peter to begin conversating
• 05:25 with people of non-Jewish extract.
• 05:28 Weeks prior, Jesus had told the disciples
• 05:31 to go into all the world.
• 05:33 They didn't go.
• 05:34 They kind of hunkered down within the world that they
• 05:38 deemed acceptable.
• 05:41 Something supernatural happened.
• 05:44 The story is recounted in the 11th chapter of Acts, where Luke
• 05:50 is on record, describing Peter's moment when he has a vision.
• 05:56 Sometimes the Lord has to show up and paint something on our
• 05:59 mind and startle us in the process of so doing.
• 06:04 In this case, there was a vision of a blanket that came down to
• 06:08 earth with all of these unclean animals.
• 06:12 "Clean" and "unclean" were differentiating "kosher"
• 06:15 and "nonkosher."
• 06:17 Peter sees a vision of these animals coming down,
• 06:21 and he hears a word in verse 7, "Get up, Peter.
• 06:26 Kill and eat."
• 06:29 It's a divine directive, in response to which Peter
• 06:33 says--and, by the way, this is not the response
• 06:36 we're looking for.
• 06:37 Peter says, "Certainly not, Lord, for never has anything
• 06:43 unholy or unclean entered my mouth."
• 06:47 The Lord tells Peter, "Eat, eat, Pete."
• 06:51 And Pete says, "No, I don't eat that."
• 06:55 Peter was born and raised Jewish.
• 07:00 He comes from that world, that culture.
• 07:02 That's my world and culture.
• 07:04 He wasn't excited about the broader world.
• 07:08 He hadn't engaged it.
• 07:10 He didn't eat their foods or think their thoughts, but God
• 07:14 wanted him to go beyond his world into worlds beyond, and it
• 07:19 takes a vision.
• 07:21 He realizes it.
• 07:23 What happens in verse 9, "A voice comes from heaven, saying,
• 07:27 'What God has made clean, you must not consider unholy.'"
• 07:34 This, by the way, isn't so much about a change of diet as it is
• 07:39 a change of perspective.
• 07:42 God came to the Jew, but he didn't wanna just come to the
• 07:45 Jew.
• 07:46 He wanted to come through the Jew to the world, and Peter was
• 07:49 at the tip of that spear.
• 07:51 Something of a leader of the apostolic pack, as he was, he
• 07:55 didn't quite get it.
• 07:57 He needed to get nudged on by divine intervention in a form of
• 08:01 a miracle in order to begin to appreciate the fact that God
• 08:05 wanted to go to the world, and it was always supposed to be
• 08:09 that way, by the way.
• 08:11 You go back to early Genesis.
• 08:13 "Bereshit," in Hebrew, "In the beginning," when God speaks to
• 08:16 Avraham, Abraham, he says, "through you, all the families
• 08:22 of the earth will be blessed."
• 08:25 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: God wanted to do a great work through those
• 08:27 apostles, and that work was hindered by blind spots
• 08:32 in those apostles.
• 08:34 Just like them, we have blind spots in our own worlds as well.
• 08:38 Wouldn't we do well to see beyond ourselves, to live beyond
• 08:41 ourselves and realize that Lord wants to do something
• 08:44 through us to take it to the world, to take it global?
• 08:48 Oh, it's a good thought.
• 08:49 It's God's plan, and he works it through people like me
• 08:53 and like you.
• 08:55 It all starts here.
• 08:57 We see it working through Peter as God is pushing him
• 09:00 beyond his ethnocentric ghetto, beyond his private world,
• 09:05 to go into the broader world.
• 09:07 He pushed Peter.
• 09:08 He pushes me, pushes you as well.

• 13:24 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: In this series on Peter, I have relied
• 13:27 heavily on the Gospel of Matthew, not exclusively but
• 13:32 principally, and Matthew particularly is a great source
• 13:36 for the point I wanna look at in this segment as
• 13:38 we close out the series.
• 13:40 I mention that because, in the middle of the Matthew Gospel,
• 13:44 chapter 13, verse 47, Jesus is on record saying that "the
• 13:49 kingdom of God, or the kingdom of heaven, is like a net that
• 13:53 was thrown into the sea that drew in all kinds of fish," and
• 13:58 it's that "all kinds of fish" that I'm particularly keen
• 14:03 to alight upon here.
• 14:05 Matthew notes at the beginning of the gospel that people came
• 14:08 from the nations to adore Jesus, and then the gospel ends
• 14:12 with the Great Commission, beckoning the disciples
• 14:15 to go into all the world.
• 14:18 There is this broader vision, this cosmopolitan vision,
• 14:21 where God wasn't just about the Jews.
• 14:24 He was about the world, and the tide was about to change.
• 14:28 I'm coming to you here from the Sea of Galilee, right now, and
• 14:31 the tide, indeed, is changing.
• 14:34 In fact, behind me are some trees that this is all
• 14:37 beachfront not long ago, but the water is rising.
• 14:40 That's a good sign, by the way.
• 14:42 The tide comes in.
• 14:44 The water rises.
• 14:45 It used to be, in the Sea of Galilee, it was very, very low.
• 14:48 Israel's happy to see this water here, and I'm glad to look at
• 14:52 the text we're gonna look at here as we consider Peter,
• 14:55 and we look at the gospel's advancement
• 14:58 beyond Israel's borders.
• 15:00 ♪♪♪
• 15:04 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Yeshua told the disciples to go into all the
• 15:06 world, but they didn't go.
• 15:08 Sometimes there's a chasm between the rhetoric
• 15:11 and the reality.
• 15:13 I mention that because, to get Peter to go into all the world,
• 15:16 God had to come and get him.
• 15:18 You know the story.
• 15:20 We recounted it earlier that a vision comes to him, a blanket
• 15:25 with all kinds of animals in it that he doesn't eat.
• 15:27 "Eat, Pete," is the word, and this goes back
• 15:29 and forth three times.
• 15:32 We're told in Acts chapter 10, verse 19, that he's mulling his
• 15:36 vision around, and all of a sudden, "boom, boom, boom,"
• 15:41 he hears a knock on the door, and some messengers show up.
• 15:43 It's rather interesting, and they have a word for Peter,
• 15:46 in verse 22.
• 15:48 They say, "Cornelius--" these are dispatches from Cornelius,
• 15:52 who had sent them to Peter, to get him to come and talk to him.
• 15:56 "Cornelius, we're told a centurion, a righteous and
• 16:00 God-fearing man well-spoken of by all the Jewish people, was
• 16:03 directed by an angel for us to come and get you."
• 16:06 It's interesting.
• 16:08 In order to leverage Peter, in order to secure leverage to get
• 16:11 him to come to Gentiles, "Look, Peter, it sounds a little odd.
• 16:15 You know, he's a centurion, he's a Gentile,
• 16:18 but you're gonna love him.
• 16:19 You know, he's God-fearing, he loves the Jewish people,
• 16:22 has a great reputation amongst the Jews."
• 16:24 To get Peter to go talk to a Gentile, you have to kind of
• 16:27 butter him up to let him know, "He's a real Jew-loving Gentile.
• 16:30 He's not the average Roman-occupying soldier."
• 16:34 And, indeed, he wasn't.
• 16:35 Well, against the backdrop of a vision,
• 16:37 Peter starts to put it together.
• 16:39 Blanket comes down, "Go eat, Pete," you know, be willing to
• 16:43 engage non-Jewish stuff.
• 16:45 Knock on the door, "boom, boom, boom," "Hey, look, maybe
• 16:47 God's tryin' to tell me somethin'."
• 16:49 Well, maybe he is.
• 16:50 He's going to go, and when he gets to Caesarea, we're told in
• 16:57 verse 34, that Peter opened his mouth, and he said, and I quote,
• 17:02 "Ah, I truly understand that God is not one to show favoritism,
• 17:08 but in every nation the one who fears Him and does what is right
• 17:13 is acceptable to Him."
• 17:14 "Ah, in every nation, you mean that God can extend
• 17:20 beyond Israel's borders?"
• 17:22 "Well, Pete, God bless you.
• 17:23 You're getting it.
• 17:25 It's a little late, but better late than never."
• 17:28 Well, we're told that he ministers, and the Ruach
• 17:32 Hakodesh falls, the Holy Spirit, and then, finally,
• 17:35 if you look in verse 43, he gives voice to the fact.
• 17:39 He says, "All the prophets testify that everyone who puts
• 17:44 trust in Him will receive forgiveness through Him."
• 17:47 "That everyone" includes ones that are not of Jewish extract.
• 17:53 And there it is, Peter, who was told at the outset that he was
• 17:58 to be a fisher of men, and here he is doing some fishing
• 18:02 beyond Israel's borders.
• 18:05 Would that we all invested our energies to do likewise,
• 18:08 and in that sense, we would be much like Peter.

• 18:18 Kirsten: I grew up in the church.
• 18:21 I sat on a pew my whole life.
• 18:24 I went to Sunday school.
• 18:25 I went to youth group.
• 18:27 And in all of those years, I was taught, "Do not associate
• 18:31 with the world.
• 18:33 You'll become one of them if you associate with the world."
• 18:36 So I was almost taught, "Stay in this Christian church bubble.
• 18:41 Stay here. You're safe.
• 18:43 Those people are bad."
• 18:45 Almost, almost--and I don't wanna put my feet into
• 18:49 Peter's feet--like Peter's world, here's the Jewish world.
• 18:53 He was a proper, good Jewish man.
• 18:56 He didn't eat certain things, he didn't associate with certain
• 18:59 things, but God was saying it's time to expand, and I believe,
• 19:02 for the church, who are we gonna tell the gospel to
• 19:07 if we're still all in our little bubble that all believed
• 19:09 the same thing?
• 19:11 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Yeah, of course, I wasn't raised in the
• 19:13 church, but in the Jewish world that I fare from, we didn't look
• 19:16 at the broader culture as bad and us good, but the way
• 19:20 I conceive it now, I don't look at us here as good
• 19:23 and nonbelievers as bad.
• 19:25 I just look at us here forgiven and those there yet to come
• 19:30 to terms with all of that.
• 19:32 At the end of the day, people are people, and it's not like
• 19:35 I'm all perfect since I prayed the sinner's prayer and came
• 19:38 onto this side of the equation.
• 19:41 Kirsten: Right, but I think it's--well, just, honestly, I'm
• 19:43 being so honest right now that I think it's one of the worst
• 19:45 teachings that we--I'm saying in the church--I know you grew up
• 19:50 different--teach that "do not associate with the world," and I
• 19:53 think that this blanket coming down and God saying, "This is
• 19:57 okay now.
• 19:59 Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel."
• 20:02 How are we gonna preach if we just stay in our own little
• 20:05 bubble?
• 20:06 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Well, I get it.
• 20:07 Now, I wanna defend those that are saying, "Stay in your
• 20:09 bubble," and then beat me back.
• 20:10 You know, pretty girl growing up, you know, get out there, the
• 20:13 guys, the partying, the this and the that.
• 20:15 You know, to have some kind of hedge against the prevailing
• 20:19 chaos out there in carnal culture, I can understand
• 20:24 wanting to enculturate our youth with a defensive posture
• 20:28 toward all that, but a football team,
• 20:30 you don't just have defense.
• 20:31 You have to have some offense as well, and there has to be this
• 20:34 kind of going into the world, and certainly the Holy Spirit
• 20:37 wants to energize us to go into the world.
• 20:40 Peter, he was a little slow in getting the memo on that.
• 20:43 David: I gotta think about who Jesus
• 20:44 hung out with back in his day.
• 20:46 It wasn't church people.
• 20:48 Kirsten: Or synagogue people only.
• 20:50 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: It was offensive that he was kindly
• 20:52 disposed toward the other, and they thought that wasn't
• 20:55 befitting of a rabbi to be that way.
• 20:58 Kirsten: I think God was taking Peter's walls down as he
• 21:01 should take all of our walls down.
• 21:03 We need to reach beyond.
• 21:04 We need to reach out.
• 21:06 How else are we gonna share the good news if we're just with the
• 21:08 same people that already--we're in.
• 21:10 We're good.
• 21:12 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: You're right.
• 21:13 No, it's something of a process, to your point, too, that, you
• 21:15 know, prejudice, we all have blind spots in our thinking.
• 21:16 We all have blind spots in our perception of others and
• 21:19 understand of ourself, and you know, that's why sanctification
• 21:23 is a process of stripping away the old and becoming more right
• 21:24 like the new so--
• 21:27 David: I think we all have our gifts too.
• 21:29 I've heard of people who are at a bar, and the person next to
• 21:33 them got saved because of what they had to share.
• 21:35 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: You know, it's interesting to that point,
• 21:37 as we're wrapping up, that someone's been saved, in the
• 21:38 church for years and years.
• 21:40 They have less and less church friends so--or less able to
• 21:43 actually be evangelistic.
• 21:44 Someone that's living the life of a reprobate,
• 21:46 they come to faith.
• 21:47 They can go back and talk to 20 friends and bring 10 of them
• 21:49 along with them.
• 21:51 Sometimes the best evangelists are the ones that know nothing
• 21:52 about evangelism.
• 21:54 They just talk about the new life, and they have lots of
• 21:55 friends ready to hear it.
• 21:57 both: That's good.
• 21:58 David: Right now, we wanna take you to the interview
• 22:00 that I had with the amazing actor who played Peter.
• 22:02 His name is Yuval.
• 22:04 He's also a Jewish believer.
• 22:06 I asked him if understanding Peter's character
• 22:08 helped him in his role.
• 22:10 Let's go there now.
• 22:12 Yuval Shlomovitch: I feel that, absolutely, his story is
• 22:16 very a part of my life because, you know,
• 22:20 he denied Jesus three times.
• 22:23 I deny Jesus as well.
• 22:26 He was sorry for that.
• 22:27 I'm sorry for that as well, and I hope that I will
• 22:29 never deny him again.
• 22:31 But although he denied him, Jesus forgave him, and he loved
• 22:37 him again and again and again.
• 22:40 David: Yes.
• 22:41 Yuval: And I think that God is like that to all of us, and
• 22:46 we have to remember that every time.
• 22:49 David: So have you always been a believer in Yeshua,
• 22:52 or how did that come about?
• 22:55 Yuval: I've always loved God, but, one time,
• 22:59 my parents got to know Jesus.
• 23:04 Somebody knocked on their door, and they asked them if
• 23:09 they believe in God, and they introduced Jesus to them, and
• 23:14 from that day, they--or, should I say, Jesus, didn't leave them.
• 23:21 Didn't let them go.
• 23:23 God didn't let them go, and when I was 22, they told me that they
• 23:28 believe in Jesus, and I was so mad about that.
• 23:31 I was mad about that.
• 23:33 "What are you doing?
• 23:34 We are Jewish.
• 23:36 How can you do it?"
• 23:37 I mean, I was so mad, but, bit by bit, I saw how they changed.
• 23:43 I saw the fruits of Jesus in my family, my sister, and my
• 23:48 parents, and they were happier.
• 23:51 They were better.
• 23:52 I could see it.
• 23:55 So, one day, a very, a very precious man, Gary, he's in a
• 24:02 congregation in Haifa, took me to one of the congregations in
• 24:06 Tel Aviv, and I heard one song about Yeshua, and my heart
• 24:13 couldn't ignore the love.
• 24:16 David: Couldn't deny it.
• 24:17 Yuval: Couldn't deny it, and I prayed for God of Isaac,
• 24:20 Abraham, and Jacob, 'cause this is the God I know, and I told
• 24:25 him, "Please, if you have a Son, if Jesus is really your Son,
• 24:29 give me a sign.
• 24:30 Just let me know.
• 24:32 I wanna be where you want me to be.
• 24:33 You decide, but just tell me," and I opened the New Testament.
• 24:38 In the same scene that today we shot with Ken, it was the scene
• 24:43 when Peter went up to the mountain with Jesus, and Moshe
• 24:48 and Eliyyahu Hanavi came, and then God said,
• 24:52 "This is my only Son, my precious--my beloved Son.
• 24:57 To him you should hear."
• 24:59 And I was like, "Wow, more better answer
• 25:04 than that I could not have."
• 25:08 David: Kirsten and I have made so many lifelong friends
• 25:11 who live all around Israel, and we can now say that Yuval
• 25:16 is one of those people.
• 25:17 We're honored that he's a part of our family.
• 25:19 He did a great job for playing Peter, yeah.
• 25:22 Kirsten: He did.
• 25:23 Oh, my gosh, the whole team.
• 25:25 We had a lot of actors there.
• 25:26 The costumes, the sets, the camera work, the audio.
• 25:31 They battled a lot of the elements--didn't you?
• 25:34 Did you have some rain and some wind?
• 25:36 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: No, we had all of it--shooting outdoors is
• 25:38 a little trippy 'cause you can't control the elements.
• 25:40 Talk about all of us that were involved, thank you for being
• 25:44 involved with us as well.
• 25:45 This ministry has been around 40 years, doing what we do, looking
• 25:49 at the good news through the eyes of the Jews, and if it
• 25:51 wasn't for you, we wouldn't be doin' it.
• 25:53 We're indeed appreciative.
• 25:54 Kirsten: We're thankful for you, we're thank full for our
• 25:56 viewers.
