00:00:00
I spent one full month studying his
00:00:04
religion Christianity hello and praise
00:00:07
the Lord for one month I read Christian
00:00:10
books I spoke to Christian Bishops and
00:00:13
flew all the way to Israel and Palestine
00:00:16
to see all the places where Jesus Christ
00:00:20
lived in Bethlehem Jerusalem Nazareth
00:00:23
and even here at the Sea of Galilee just
00:00:27
to understand Christianity and for the
00:00:30
first time in my life I am willing to
00:00:34
kiss the feet of another human but first
00:00:38
some background I am on a six-month
00:00:41
challenge to study the top six religions
00:00:44
Buddhism Hinduism Judaism Christianity
00:00:47
Islam and even
00:00:49
atheism this is what I learned from
00:00:52
Christianity wow that's powerful that's
00:00:58
incredible PR the Lord
00:01:02
Christianity is the biggest religion in
00:01:05
the world it has 2 and a half billion
00:01:08
followers onethird of the world but here
00:01:11
is the issue 2 and2 billion Christians
00:01:15
do not agree on everything Christianity
00:01:18
is divided into
00:01:21
45,000 groups are you ready for this
00:01:24
Roman Catholic Eastern Orthodox
00:01:26
Protestant Pentecostal Evangelical Lu
00:01:29
Lutheran Mormon Quaker and so many
00:01:33
others each group believes in a slightly
00:01:36
different version of
00:01:39
Christianity why is there different uh
00:01:41
denominations and and disagreements and
00:01:44
and divisions that's just Humanity
00:01:48
cultural differences end up impacting
00:01:50
our understanding of what Christianity
00:01:54
is see that ladder right behind me it's
00:01:58
at the place where Jesus died on the
00:02:00
cross and that ladder is not allowed to
00:02:04
move even by one inch do you know why
00:02:09
because different Christian groups could
00:02:11
not agree on where to move it so the
00:02:15
ladder stayed here immovable for 300
00:02:19
years six Christian denominations own
00:02:23
the Church of the Holy sub six and they
00:02:25
have agreed that there'd be no repair no
00:02:28
moving or anything unless all six agree
00:02:31
and they haven't agreed it's been
00:02:33
hundreds of years they still haven't
00:02:34
agreed and this is the issue of
00:02:36
Christian
00:02:39
denomination but there is one thing that
00:02:42
every single Christian agrees on it
00:02:45
unites all two billion of them it's the
00:02:49
foundation of the religion and that is
00:02:53
the person of Jesus Christ Jesus Christ
00:02:58
Jesus Christ
00:03:00
he is the gift that God gave to humanity
00:03:05
according to Christians Jesus is the son
00:03:08
of God who came to Earth to forgive sins
00:03:12
give life teach the truth and rise from
00:03:16
the
00:03:18
dead to be a Christian simply means you
00:03:22
believe in Jesus Christ he started
00:03:25
Christianity and changed the world in
00:03:28
fact the year 20 24 is based on when
00:03:32
Jesus was born that's how much he
00:03:35
changed the world so I followed the life
00:03:39
of Jesus Christ from Nazareth where he
00:03:43
lived to kaer now where he preached to
00:03:46
Jerusalem where he died and Rose this is
00:03:50
the tomb where Jesus Christ died and
00:03:53
resurrected 3 days after this is it to
00:03:57
the upper room where he had had his last
00:04:01
supper oh my God the last supper was
00:04:05
actually here and here at the Tomb of
00:04:09
Jesus I learned two important lessons
00:04:13
from him first I learned how to love and
00:04:18
by love I mean true love true love true
00:04:22
love to be a good Christian you must
00:04:26
love yourself your neighbor your friend
00:04:29
and even your enemy equally there are
00:04:32
different kinds of Love there is a
00:04:34
romantic love there's a love that two
00:04:36
friends have but then there's also
00:04:38
something called God's love and that's
00:04:40
the message of the Cross that's the
00:04:42
message of Christ that's the message of
00:04:44
Christianity that God loves you
00:04:50
unconditionally on this exact spot near
00:04:53
the Sea of Galilee Jesus Christ said
00:04:57
love the Lord your God with all all your
00:05:00
heart and with all your soul and with
00:05:03
all your mind love is the first and
00:05:07
greatest commandment in Christianity I
00:05:10
learned yesterday that there is actually
00:05:12
a word for love in Christianity it's
00:05:15
Agape it's God's
00:05:17
love Next Level love it's an
00:05:20
unconditional love love is so powerful
00:05:23
in Christianity that in this room where
00:05:26
the Last Supper happened Jesus kneel
00:05:30
down to wash the feet of his followers
00:05:34
as a sign of love you know the opposite
00:05:38
of
00:05:39
humility is pride and pride says I'm
00:05:43
better than you Pride says I don't need
00:05:45
you humility says I will humble myself
00:05:49
and take the lower Point that's why
00:05:52
today 2,00 years later the pope himself
00:05:56
kisses the feet of followers and even
00:05:59
even prisoners to express love and
00:06:04
humility in Christianity kissing the
00:06:08
feet of others is not a sign of
00:06:11
humiliation it's a sign of humility and
00:06:15
love Jesus Christ loved Humanity so much
00:06:19
that he died for it in this spot at age
00:06:24
33 Jesus was crucified on the cross
00:06:32
this act of Love Inspired billions of
00:06:35
Christians to love each other just like
00:06:39
Jesus loved them yes of course love is a
00:06:41
feeling but love is a decision that you
00:06:44
have to make Jesus himself who is the
00:06:47
centrality of Christianity he made a
00:06:50
decision to sacrifice his life for the
00:06:54
sins of the entire
00:06:58
world the second second thing I learned
00:07:00
from Jesus Christ is even more powerful
00:07:04
it's
00:07:06
forgiveness Jesus famously said here at
00:07:10
the top of the mountain if anyone slaps
00:07:13
you on the right cheek turn to them the
00:07:16
other cheek also because an eye for an
00:07:20
eye and the world goes blind that's why
00:07:24
forgiveness is important when you don't
00:07:28
forgive and you you hang on to anger
00:07:31
what it does it creates something inside
00:07:34
of you it's almost like a poison but
00:07:37
once you forgive you are freed you are
00:07:40
freed inside from this anger and this
00:07:44
bitterness that you have toward this
00:07:45
person and instead you can operate in a
00:07:49
place of love and freedom and in
00:07:51
Christianity there is no limit to how
00:07:55
much you can forgive Jesus taught his
00:07:58
followers to forgive
00:08:00
not just once or twice but 70 times per
00:08:05
day Jesus came back and said forgive
00:08:07
them 70 * 7 in a day now math says
00:08:12
that's 490 times as someone violates you
00:08:15
as long as someone does something wrong
00:08:17
you must continue to forgive in other
00:08:20
words forgiveness is a
00:08:27
lifestyle on this Road here in Jerusalem
00:08:31
jesus carried his cross towards his
00:08:35
death and on the cross Jesus forgave his
00:08:39
Killers father forgive them for they do
00:08:42
not know what they are doing forgiveness
00:08:47
is so
00:08:48
powerful because it frees us to love how
00:08:53
difficult it is to love how difficult it
00:08:54
is to forgive is not the point the point
00:08:57
is do it I think it's it's Nike that
00:09:00
said just do
00:09:01
it if forgiveness was understood and
00:09:06
practiced the war would end today not
00:09:13
tomorrow two billion Christians cannot
00:09:16
agree on where to move this ladder but
00:09:20
they all agree that love and forgiveness
00:09:24
make you strong not weak if Jesus is
00:09:27
willing to wash the feet of others to
00:09:30
show love then we can show love to our
00:09:33
neighbor by cleaning our driveway if
00:09:36
Jesus is willing to forgive those who
00:09:39
killed him then we can forgive those who
00:09:42
broke our heart we don't have to be
00:09:45
Christian to learn from Jesus we just
00:09:48
need to be human you can be anything you
00:09:53
can be any nationality you can be male
00:09:56
female young old and you can still find
00:10:00
life and love in Jesus
00:10:03
