Come to our last chapter in the book of Galatians. Starting in verse 1, this is God's holy and inspired word. Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, each one looking to yourself. so that you too will not be tempted. Bear one another's burdens and thereby fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But each man, each one, must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone and not in regard to another, for each one will bear his own load." This is God's Word. Dick Hoyt is the father of Rick Hoyt. Rick was born in 1962. And as a result of oxygen deprivation, Rick was diagnosed at birth as a spastic quadriplegic and also cerebral palsy. You may have actually seen Dick and Rick Hoyt before, maybe on a YouTube video because they're a father-son team that run marathons and triathlons together. And what's amazing about Dick and Rick Hoyt is that starting in 1982, they've run over a thousand races together. But the scene that actually grips me the most in looking at what they do is watching Dick swim a triathlon harnessed to a raft that's carrying his son. And when Dick gets to the shore, he gets out of the water, goes back to the raft, picks up his quadriplegic son and runs about a hundred yards to where the bikes are stationed. And he puts his son in a seat that's specially designed and affixed to the front of his bike and gets him situated and then takes off on the next leg of the triathlon. As he gets to the running part, he actually carries his son across the finish line. And I could watch it a hundred times and cry a hundred times because it is heroic. It's the kind of love that stirs the heart Here is Rick, he's unable to run or to swim or to bike, and yet Dick, his loving and strong father, takes care of his son. And it is the kind of care and devotion that actually echoes our heavenly Father's love for us. That's what it is about the story that grips us. There's a human interest element to it for sure, but what you see in the Hoyts is you see the echoes of our Father's love for us and Christ's heroic carrying of his people. As magnificent as the Hoyts are, It is but a dim reflection of the triune God's magnificence in caring for his own. For the Apostle Paul, The devotion and care and love of Christ for his people is what in turn should shape his people to love and care for one another. In fact, from Paul's perspective, The Spirit is at work in the hearts of His people doing nothing less than reproducing His own character in the community so that as the church keeps in step with the Spirit, they're not devouring one another, they're not exalting themselves over one another, but they're serving one another, they're carrying one another, and when necessary, they are rescuing one another. That is the demonstration that the Spirit of God is at work in the midst of His church. Last week, we saw that we who live in the spirit have been called to keep in step with the spirit. Marching along with the spirits beat, as it were negatively, which is the first thing that Paul does is says that keeping in step with the spirit means that we don't become boastful or arrogant or or conceded, the old translation, the ASV for instance in 1901, let us not become vain glorious by challenging each other, provoking each other, envying one another. So keeping in step with the spirit means that we're not arrogant, proud people who are constantly challenging other brothers and sisters, but rather we are those who in chapter six verse 1, care for one another. When we get to chapter 6, verses 1 to 10, it really is carrying on what Paul has been teaching about life in the Spirit. Tom Schreiner observes that 525 to 6-5 is caring for one another in the Spirit, and then 6, 6 to 10 is doing good by the Spirit. And so really, what we have as we come to chapter 6, is Paul is giving us some very concrete demonstrations of what it means to keep in step with the Spirit. Paul is showing us, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, what life in the Spirit, in the community of Christ, looks like. And so in verse 1, we have the responsibility to restore fallen Christians. In verse 2, we have the responsibility to bear one another's burdens. In verses 3 to 5, Paul deals with hindrances and remedies to these responsibilities. And then in verse 6, we see responsibilities to those who teach the word. Then we see responsibility to endure in sowing to the spirit, verses 7 to 9. And then in verse 10, we see the responsibility to do good to others, especially those of the household of faith. And so keeping in step with the Spirit is not going around and doing miracles and signs and wonders. Actually, keeping in step with the Spirit means that I watch my attitude towards others in the body and I make sure that in dependence on the Spirit, I'm fulfilling my responsibilities to one another in the body. That is a Spirit-filled church. And that brings us to verse one, which is all we're going to look at this morning. And Paul says, brethren, brethren, Now, he's not actually starting up a brand new section. We saw that verses 25 and 26 of chapter 5 is somewhat like a hinge or a transition going from what it means to live in the Spirit, walk in the Spirit, be led by the Spirit, and bear the fruit of the Spirit, and we get this transition and then we move in to what is really not a new section, but is really an application of what it means to live and keep in step with the Spirit. And the very first thing that Paul does is he turns around and gives this direct address, brethren. Paul does this and he does it not simply because he was a Baptist and he just called everybody brethren, You've been around places like that where everybody's brother, everybody's sister, and that's fine, that's good, but when Paul does it, it's not just because that's what he just calls people or just calls church people, it's because he's reminding them that they actually belong to the same family. When he says brethren, he is reminding them that they actually belong one to another through the bonds of the blood of Jesus. When he says brethren, he's reminding them that they belong to a family, the relationships of which have been born by God's Holy Spirit. Here's the amazing thing about belonging to the family of God and being able to look at somebody and call them brother or to call them sister. And that is, I share in Christ a bond with those people that is deeper and more lasting than even the bonds of an earthly biological family. as wonderful and important as the biological family is, and the Bible speaks so much to our responsibilities. We're gonna look at that this afternoon, and talk about failing the next generation, that is our children. The Bible talks about those relationships, but the reality is, is that the Bible says that there are relationships that are forged, not just through flesh and blood, but through the blood of Jesus. And there are relationships that are born not through the act of marital intimacy, but there are relationships that are born by the Holy Spirit. And so when Paul says, brethren, he's reminding us that we all belong to the same family, the eternal family, a family which will never ever cease to exist. I mentioned in Sunday school, that when I was a new Christian, we used to sing this song all the time. I'm so glad I'm a part of the family of God. Been washed in the fountain, cleansed by the blood, joined heirs with Jesus as we travel the sod. I'm so glad I'm a part of the family of God. The Galatians had begun to bite and devour one another, and to be arrogant towards one another, and to forget the most basic bond that they shared in Jesus Christ. And Paul is quick to remind them, brethren, and then he gives this statement, he says, even if any man is overtaken in any trespass. Now I'm reading from the New American Standard and it says even if, and I think some of the other translations may leave out the word even or the conjunction altogether, but the idea is probably better than even is indeed, which actually intensifies the conditional statement, the if, if indeed. So the idea is that it's intensifying the probability that this is going to happen. This is not some sort of rare occasion that Paul's going to present to us that every once in a blue moon you may have to deal with. Paul's actually going to present something to us that has very high probability of happening with somewhat a regular occurrence. He says, indeed, if any man, that is any person in the community, and then we read this word is caught. So the NAS does, the ESV, it's an ambiguous word. If any man is caught, caught is ambiguous because it could mean either one of the options here. On the one hand, the idea of being caught could mean the idea of being found out or being detected. being discovered, okay? We're talking about in any trespass, okay? And so the idea is brethren, indeed, if anyone is caught, that is detected, they're uncovered in a trespass, but in all likelihood, the word is probably not the idea of being discovered or detected, but rather the idea of being overtaken. the idea of being overtaken almost as it were by surprise. So the picture is somebody in the community of faith, somebody in the church is actually as it were going along and they end up being overtaken by an unplanned, unexpected trespass. Notice Paul says, Indeed, if any man is overcome by any trespass. The picture that Paul's painting for us is when he uses the word trespass, the idea is usually denoting a specific sin. Oftentimes, Paul will use the term for sin, hamartia, which is, in a sense, sort of this broad, general category of all things that are a violation of God's will and God's law. Trespass usually denotes some sort of specific sin to overstep a boundary, a transgression, we would say. And so here's Paul, and he's called the church to do what? To keep in step with the Spirit, and he says, you know, there are going to be believers at times that actually don't keep in step with the Spirit, and step outside of the will of the Spirit, and actually transgress or trespass the boundaries. In other words, they fail to conform to the Spirit's standard, and they end up sinning. Now, what do you think Paul has in mind here? I mean, how many of us sin at least once a day? Well, let's be more realistic. How many of us sin at least once an hour? Well, how many of us sin? You know how we could take this, right? We could get down to the second, we could get down to the nanosecond. I mean, the fact is, is that there is more sin in us than we often realize, is there not? Have we not been called to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength? When am I ever fulfilling that command? If I'm not fulfilling that command, then at any given moment that I'm not loving God with all that I am, guess what, I'm sinning. So we really do sin way more than we realize. But what Paul's talking about is Paul's talking about the person who is going along and all of a sudden they are ensnared. They're trapped. they're overcome by a trespass. This is the kind of sin that is not just, shall we say, the kind of daily ordinary things that we all are prone to. This would be something that ensnares this person in a way that they are now, just like an animal, snared. Paul says in 5.16, the flesh wages war against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh. There's a battle, right? And we know there's a battle. And we also know that the Spirit of God is in us and He is powerful. But we also know the reality, we know the reality that in the midst of that battle between flesh and spirit, that there are times when as God's people, we are overcome by sins that we never expected or planned to commit. Have you ever stood in front of the mirror And with tears ask yourself, how could I have done that? What Paul is about to tell us is he is about to tell us how to deal with those who are overcome in a trespass, how to deal with those who have been ensnared and even enslaved, overtaken by a sin. And here's the thing that we need to remember is that the body of Christ is not a gathering of people who are sin-free, we are a gathering of people who, on the one hand, we've gloriously had all of our sins forgiven through the blood and righteousness of Jesus Christ, but we are also a people who battle with sin, and we battle with it daily, and there is a struggle, and there is a fight, and in fact, the depth of fight in us is actually a sign of the life of the Spirit in us, but we also know that the body of Christ Christ is not exempt from falling into the kind of sin that at times may even seem to shock us. I remind us that the church is not the fellowship of the pious. The church is the fellowship of sinners saved by grace. The church is a congregation of people who still battle and slug it out with sin, and sometimes they are overcome. And so Paul's going to tell us how to deal with that person who has been overtaken. Just think of that little, this is what comes to my mind, think of that little squirrel running as fast as he can from that Jack Russell terrier. And that dog is not going to give up. And all of a sudden, that little that little terrorist overtakes that little varmint and it is in its clutches. Sometimes that's the picture of us and sin. As we're going along and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, something seems to stock up on us and then pounce on us and gets us in its clutches. What do we do? Well, Paul says, you who are spiritual. Well, at least he's exempted most of us. By the way, by translating the word here spiritual, our translators have ignored the entire previous context. And the reason I say that is because when Paul says, you who are spiritual, he's not talking about some special class of Christians. He's not even talking about those of you who are mature. He's simply talking about those who live by the spirit, which would be all Christians. You who are spiritual, in other words, is you who have the Spirit. And as far as Paul could see, those in the Galatian churches had the Spirit. They had begun by the Spirit. Galatians 3, verse 2, they had received the consummate blessing of the covenant with Abraham, which was the blessing of the Spirit. 3.14, they were those who had received the Spirit of God's Son, chapter 4 and verse 6. So these are people who had the Spirit, they lived by the Spirit, they walked in the Spirit, they were led by the Spirit. And so when Paul says, listen, you who are spiritual, those who fall, those who are overtaken, those people are the responsibility of those who are spiritual. Who's spiritual? Those who have the Spirit. In other words, Paul is calling for the whole body to actually be involved in restoring those who are overtaken. But in putting it this way, those of you who are spiritual, and you know, the problem with the word spiritual is that it has this cultural baggage for us. We talk about spiritual as if it's mystical or something like that. For Paul, spiritual just means of the Spirit, of the Spirit, capital S, Spirit, of the Holy Spirit. So those of you who are of the Holy Spirit, He's reminding them, listen, when that person, when that brother, when that sister is overtaken in any trespass, your responsibility is not to be of the flesh with them, but to be of the spirit with them. Gordon Fee says, Paul means spirit people. Indeed, to translate this phrase with the lower case, those who are spiritual, not only undermines it in terms of meaning for a contemporary English speaker, but also leads to connotations that are precisely the opposite of Paul's intent. And so, here's what we're getting at. Here is an everyday, ordinary example of what it means to bear the fruit of the Spirit, walk in the Spirit, and keep in step with the Spirit, and that is when you see somebody in the body that's overcome by any trespass, you have a responsibility to that person, and it is to restore them. That's what it is to have the Spirit. That's what people who have the Spirit do. And notice what they're supposed to do. They are supposed to restore such a one. You've probably heard this many times. You've heard it from me. The word for restore is used in the gospels when Peter, James, and John are repairing their fishing nets, okay? is to restore fishing nets. This word is also used in extra-biblical Greek regularly in medical terms of resetting or relocating dislocated or broken bones. And so the picture is of restoring somebody to their former condition. So Paul makes it abundantly clear, listen, if you are a person of the Spirit and you see a brother or sister that's overtaken in any kind of trespass, even maybe the kind that you really seriously disapprove of, Your mission with that person is clear, and that mission is to restore them. You are to restore them to their former condition. That means you are to restore them to God. You are to lead that person back to Christ. You are to bring that person back to the cross. You are to bring that person back to the gospel. You are to bring that person, restore that person back to the grace of God. And that may look like helping restore a marriage relationship or other relationships, but here's the, Here's the mission, to restore that person, to reset that which has been broken, to repair that which has been destroyed. I want to make an important point by saying that Paul is focusing on those who are overtaken, unawares, as it were, by any trespass, that does not mean that those who are exposed, found out, and detected deserve any different treatment. Think of it this way. God's ways are not our ways. And there was King David who had definitely been overtaken by many trespasses. And he was detected. He was discovered. And it took God to use the prophet to uncover his trespasses. And so Paul is telling us, listen, you who are in the same body, you who have the same spirit, understand this, to be bearing the fruit of the spirit and keeping in step with the spirit, means that when you see a brother or a sister, whether you find out about it, detect it, or they come to you, it makes no difference. When you see them overtaken in any trespass, you have a mission, and that is to restore that person, to actually bring that person back to their prior condition of fellowship with God and fellowship with the body. And then here's the thing that amazes me about this is that when you look at this exhortation, it's easy to think that Paul could have pastorally just stopped right there. If you find somebody who's overtaken in a trespass, hey, restore them. But he doesn't stop there, and he doesn't stop there because he knows that we, as human beings, yes, we have the Spirit, but we still are people that have a battle between the flesh and the Spirit. We who find ourselves in the position of needing to restore somebody need to be told how to restore that person because some of us may not have the tendency to restore in a way that honors Christ. Just imagine for a moment, Ray McKean has a broken leg. And I say, hey, I saw a YouTube video on how to reset a broken bone. And I walk over and I just grab Ray's leg and just yank on it with all of my might and let it snap back. Well, that didn't work and try it again. And there he is weeping, wailing and gnashing his teeth, all right? Now, the reason Paul says some of you who find yourselves in a position to restore, I'm going to tell you how to do it, is because some of us would have the tendency just to grab the broken leg, stretch it out as far as we can, and hope that we could reset it. In other words, some of us lack the kind of gentleness required for such a situation. There are reasons for that. If you think you have all the answers to everything, you're gonna be a pretty brutal restorer. If you think you're smarter than the other person, better than the other person, I've never been defiled by that kind of sin, you will be a brutal Restorer. And by the way, an incredibly inept and ineffective one as well. And so Paul tells us how we actually are supposed to restore. So if you're spiritual, you need to restore that person, leading them back to Christ, back to the gospel, and you need to do it in a spirit of gentleness. Why a spirit of gentleness? And again, forget the small s there for spirit of gentleness, capital S, spirit of gentleness. Gentleness is a fruit of the Spirit, right? When you have the opportunity to restore, you restore in a way that you're exhibiting the fruit of the Spirit. People of the Spirit are going to be bearing the fruit of the Spirit, and when they have the opportunity to restore somebody, they're going to be doing it in the Holy Spirit of gentleness. Now gentleness doesn't mean sort of this weak, mealy-mouthed, milquetoast kind of person. We already saw that gentleness is, there is a strength and there's a power in being gentle. But Paul is telling us, listen, when you restore somebody, you need to do it in a way that is gentle and humble, which is in radical contrast to being what? Conceited and provoking and challenging one another. That's the radical contrast. Tom Schreiner tells us, he says, a gentle and humble spirit does not provoke one who has sinned, but treats that person with dignity and such gentleness is the fruit of the spirit. Those who envy others find joy in the sins of others since the faults of others are on full display and they look better by comparison. But one who truly loves others and is walking in the Spirit approaches them with firmness since they've sinned, mingled with humility since they are treated gently." You have the Spirit, you don't restore harshly. You don't restore judgmentally. You restore with gentleness, humility. speaking truth in love, but love with gentleness. Why does Paul tell us if you're gonna restore somebody in the body, make sure you do it with gentleness? And here's the reason, it's actually quite simple, because the person who is overtaken in a trespass is actually in a very dangerous and vulnerable position. Not everybody who's overtaken in a trespass looks exactly the same or reacts exactly the same. Is that not true? So here's a person, he's overtaken in a trespass. Paul says, listen, you who are spiritual, restore that person, but do it in a spirit of gentleness. Why? Because that person is in a vulnerable state. That person is in a dangerous position. Does everyone, here's an example, does everyone who's overtaken in a trespass want to be restored? No. Not everybody who is overtaken wants help. You understand that, right? In fact, what is our tendency when we're trying to help somebody that doesn't want help? Is it gentleness? Now that's typically not the virtue that we exhibit. When somebody doesn't want our help, we don't usually take on the spirit of gentleness. We actually get quite irritated, we actually get quite frustrated. What about, is the person who is overtaken in a trespass, is that person in jeopardy of going deeper into that trespass? Is that not true? If they are overtaken, unawares, and they are ensnared and now entrapped, is it not true that it is very possible for that person, once he's been detected, once he's been discovered, and somebody comes along and tries to help him, is it not true that there is a danger of that person going even deeper into what he's been enslaved by? And so what we need to do is we need to make sure that we are approaching it with gentleness. How about the person who's overcome by a trespass? Is it possible that they are actually in a state of despair? You see, not one size fits all, by the way, and I've met people who have been overcome by a trespass, and they are so overwhelmed by the depth of their own sin that they are on the brink of absolute despair and virtually inconsolable, thinking that they've probably committed the unpardonable sin. What does that person need? A self-righteous Pharisee coming along and explaining how to really do it in life? How about the person who's overcome by a trespass? Is it possible that they are defensive? Is it possible that these words may possibly, in a remote situation, ever come out of somebody's mouth? Mind your own business. Possible. By the way, mind your own business doesn't let you off the hook. Get out of my face doesn't get you off the hook. Take a hike doesn't get you off the hook. I hope that you die doesn't get you off the hook. We have a responsibility to restore each other and to do it with gentleness. And the fact is, is that there are times where somebody may get angry with us. There are times where other people may become defensive. There are other times where people may try to escape any kind of restoration attempts. And so Paul says, listen, you need to do it with a spirit of gentleness. But that's not all he says. He says that we need to do it watching who? Watch those sinners, restore them in a spirit of gentleness, watching the sinner lest he escape. Right? No. Watching yourself. Well, hey, wait a second. I'm the spiritual one. I'm the one that's restoring. I have to watch myself. Paul says, you better believe it, you better watch yourself, lest you too be tempted. So in helping someone who is in sin, restoration needs to be humble and gentle and immensely self-distrusting. We need to be overseeing and watching ourselves. We don't go in with the attitude, hey, I'm here to fix it. I actually have a syllabus on how to deal with sins just like you're committing. And so just stand back and watch my brilliance. No, I go in guarding my own heart. lest I too be tempted. It's always fascinating to me when Paul is not as explicit as he could have been. Tempted by what? He just says tempted. There are two parts to this that I think are worth us considering, and the first is, actually tempted, while you're helping somebody who's overcoming a sin, you have to watch yourself lest you too be tempted to the same sin. Let's face it, there have not been a few who have actually been caught up in the very sins that they were trying somebody else to overcome. We have to understand when you're actually dealing with somebody who's overcoming a trespass, you have to understand something. And that is fundamentally, you're in the very same boat that they're in. You're not a different kind of person. You're the same kind of person made up of the same stuff. So how we need to watch ourselves. How we need to guard ourselves so that we don't give in to the very same sins that we are trying to help somebody overcome. And I will tell you, I tell you with fear and trembling, there have been multitudes and multitudes and multitudes of pastors who have fallen into the most horrific, gross, despicable sin, all the while attempting to help somebody who is dealing with the same sins. you cannot be too careful, and you cannot be too self-distrusting. But there's another thing that's at work here, and I think this is probably more straightforward, and that is tempted. Tempted to what? Well, tempted to the very kind of pride that Paul's already warned us against in chapter five and verse 26. Do you know what happens? Do you know what happens if you actually successfully help somebody? Hey, on the one hand, it's great. Praise the Lord, they've been restored. Do you know what happens if you try to help somebody and they don't want your help and yet you've given them brilliant counsel? Gordon Fee hits the nail on the head and he says our tendency is to kick people when they're down. That's our tendency. That is, let's face it, that is the Christian tendency. We can feel a little better about ourselves because we're not them, and in our pride, what we can do... See, it doesn't matter whether you're a success or a dismal failure in restoring the person, because in our pride, what we can end up doing is either way making it all about me. I will tell you, there are not a few counselors who look at their ministry of helping people in terms of themselves. They can make it all about me and all about my counsel, and if you don't take it, I take offense, there's personal insult, and the list goes on and on and on, and how we need to guard our hearts. Any one of your elders will tell you that one of the most frustrating things is to see somebody who's overcome in a trespass, and you're doing your best to try to show them their sin, you're doing your best to try to restore them, you're doing your best to try to love them, and they resist, resist, resist, and there comes a point where it is very easy to start to take these things personally. You pour yourself out into somebody else's life, and then they turn around, and maybe they're restored and they never give you credit, or maybe they're not restored and continue in their sin, and then at the end of the day, what you're looking at is not a person who is the prized possession of Jesus Christ. What you're looking at is a person who is a project that's a reflection on your counseling abilities. And I would suggest to you that that is by far the biggest danger that we face when we're trying to help people. So Paul says, listen, you who are of the Spirit, you restore those that are overtaken, and you do it with gentleness. Nobody needs the harshness nor the self-righteousness and arrogance of a Pharisee. What they need is the kindness and the tenderness of a Savior. I don't really have time for this story, but I'm gonna tell it anyway. I've told it before, so if you've heard it before, you can take a nap, I guess. When I was a kid, I've always loved baseball. And we know baseball is superior to soccer, regardless of what Jason may say. Baseball is an American sport. When I was a kid, I loved the A's and the Giants from the time I could remember. But in the middle and late 70s, both of them were awful. And so I adopted a new favorite team. the Boston Red Sox. Now, I hate the Red Sox today, but when I was 11 years old, I thought the Red Sox were great. My childhood baseball hero was Jim Rice. Some of you might know Jim Rice just made it to the Hall of Fame. He played left field for the Boston Red Sox. And every morning, I would get up and I'd look at the sports page. I'd want to see how many bases Ricky Henderson had stole and how many home runs Jim Rice had hit. Every morning. And I remember like it was yesterday, getting the sports section out of the Sacramento Union and looking, and on the front page was a picture of Jim Rice carrying in his arms the Red Sox second baseman, Jerry Remy. Jerry Remy had been involved in a home plate collision with a catcher who was much bigger than him. And there's a picture of Jim Rice carrying him off of the field. And underneath that caption, I can see it like it was just yesterday. It said, I am my brother's keeper. That's stuck with me for 36 years. I think Paul would say, you are of the Spirit, you are your brother's keeper. If you live by the Spirit and walk by the Spirit and are led by the Spirit and have anything of the fruit of the Spirit being born in your life, you are your brother's keeper and you have a responsibility to rescue and restore those who have fallen. And in fact, when you rescue those who have fallen, You most beautifully exhibit the character of the Lord Jesus Christ. You know, there are fallen brothers and sisters all around us. You don't have to think long or hard to have some come to mind. You who are spiritual, you who have the spirit, restore them. in a spirit of gentleness, looking to yourself, lest you too be tempted. Let's pray. Father, we pray that you would emblazon on our hearts the reality that we are indeed our brother's keeper. We pray, Father, that you would help us to be mindful and even sensitive to those who are overtaken. Father, we ask that you would give us a holy passion to see the fallen restored. Father, you sent your Son into the world to seek and to save the lost. How could we be unconcerned about those overtaken in sin? And so we pray that you would give us the love and devotion of the Lord Jesus and fill us with your spirit and empower us to walk in the spirit in such a way that we are the hands and feet of the Lord Jesus in the body. In his name we pray, amen. We hope you've enjoyed this message from Grace Community Church in Minden, Nevada.
