00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.419
 Good morning.

00:00:05.500 --> 00:00:16.879
 Several years ago there was a young woman from Australia who was going to do some medical internship in Manila and she was put in contact with me.

00:00:18.100 --> 00:00:25.800
! She was from a church down there and when I picked her up at the airport I will never forget what she told me.

00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:33.380
 The first thing she said was, Hi James, it is so good to know that I have family here.

00:00:34.340 --> 00:00:38.219
 And that is how I feel being here with you today.

00:00:39.620 --> 00:00:47.679
 I bring you greetings from your brothers and sisters in Manila at our church, Pilgrim Community Church.

00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:58.179
 They are seven hours ahead of us and so they are well into the Lord's day as we are beginning our time as well.

00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:08.099
 I would like to read to you again from Matthew chapter 5 and reading verses 17 to 20.

00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:13.460
 So if you have your Bibles please turn with me in Matthew chapter 5.

00:01:13.459 --> 00:01:17.339
 And let us listen now to God's word.

00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.459
 Here the Lord Jesus is speaking. He says,

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:31.799
 Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets.

00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:36.259
 I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.

00:01:36.260 --> 00:01:50.900
 For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished.

00:01:52.820 --> 00:01:59.620
 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same,

00:02:00.520 --> 00:02:02.740
 will be called least in the kingdom of heaven.

00:02:02.739 --> 00:02:10.740
 But whoever does them and teaches them, will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

00:02:12.079 --> 00:02:21.620
 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and the Pharisees,

00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:26.180
 you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

00:02:27.079 --> 00:02:29.259
 Thus far the reading of God's word.

00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:30.639
 Let's speak to God.

00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:36.759
 Not so long ago, in one of our rooms at home, there are only two,

00:02:37.679 --> 00:02:42.859
 the room where my wife does homeschooling with our daughter,

00:02:43.679 --> 00:02:46.439
 the light got busted.

00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:52.959
 So it was one of those donut-like CFL lights, you know, the old style.

00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:58.439
 And so I had to replace it because they needed it the next day to do homeschooling.

00:02:59.140 --> 00:03:03.400
 I went to the hardware store, bringing with me that donut light.

00:03:04.420 --> 00:03:06.719
 And to my surprise, I was told,

00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.520
 Sir, this is already obsolete.

00:03:11.180 --> 00:03:13.400
 We no longer sell this model.

00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.900
 And so he proposed.

00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.180
 He said, but sir, I can sell you this one.

00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.900
 It's an LED one, which will last you very long.

00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:27.879
 But you're going to have to do some tinkering to install it.

00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:29.260
 It's very easy, he said.

00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:29.960
 Very straightforward.

00:03:30.900 --> 00:03:32.060
 And I trusted him.

00:03:32.180 --> 00:03:33.040
 And I bought the lamp.

00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:34.959
 And I went home.

00:03:35.620 --> 00:03:36.759
 And I tinkered.

00:03:39.739 --> 00:03:41.379
 And I connected it.

00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:42.459
 I screwed it on.

00:03:43.459 --> 00:03:45.759
 And when I switched the power on again,

00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:48.699
 behold, darkness.

00:03:50.399 --> 00:03:51.680
 And so I tried again.

00:03:51.939 --> 00:03:54.099
 And after a few tries, finally,

00:03:54.979 --> 00:03:58.299
 to my satisfaction, the light came on.

00:03:58.680 --> 00:03:59.599
 And so I was in this room.

00:03:59.659 --> 00:04:01.620
 My wife was in the other room with the kids.

00:04:01.620 --> 00:04:04.800
 And in my excitement, I called her and I said,

00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:06.659
 I fixed it.

00:04:08.200 --> 00:04:10.039
 And it's an LED light.

00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:11.939
 And so it's going to last forever.

00:04:13.340 --> 00:04:16.259
 And without skipping a beat,

00:04:16.420 --> 00:04:18.420
 my six-year-old daughter, who was with her,

00:04:19.060 --> 00:04:20.720
 hollers back at me and says,

00:04:21.340 --> 00:04:22.000
 No, Papa.

00:04:23.060 --> 00:04:25.340
 Only the Word of God lasts forever.

00:04:26.780 --> 00:04:29.639
 And so I got schooled by a six-year-old that night.

00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:35.579
 And this morning, I'd like us to hear what the Lord Jesus Christ has to say

00:04:35.579 --> 00:04:39.639
 about the enduring significance of the Word of God.

00:04:40.819 --> 00:04:44.659
 Now, this is important because up to this point in the Gospel of Matthew,

00:04:45.259 --> 00:04:49.360
 so far, he has not said anything about the law.

00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:52.639
 And in the first century Jewish ear,

00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:55.900
 this would have seemed very curious indeed.

00:04:57.540 --> 00:05:01.000
 You see, for the official religious leaders of the day,

00:05:01.080 --> 00:05:03.800
 the Pharisees and the scribes, the lawyers,

00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.160
 well, the law, or some derivative of it,

00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:09.960
 was all that they taught.

00:05:10.460 --> 00:05:12.340
 It was all they could talk about.

00:05:12.339 --> 00:05:18.659
 And so you have Jesus, this unofficial religious teacher,

00:05:19.039 --> 00:05:25.000
 teaching, but hadn't mentioned anything about the law.

00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:29.459
 So him mentioning it here, in this place,

00:05:29.559 --> 00:05:30.979
 is very significant.

00:05:32.039 --> 00:05:33.799
 And we need to hear it out.

00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:38.579
 How did the Lord Jesus view the law?

00:05:39.540 --> 00:05:42.960
 Could it be that he was a softy on it?

00:05:43.020 --> 00:05:44.680
 He was quite relaxed about it?

00:05:45.900 --> 00:05:47.220
 Well, no, not at all.

00:05:47.900 --> 00:05:51.460
 In fact, Jesus affirmed the lasting significance of the law.

00:05:52.420 --> 00:05:53.540
 Do not think, he says,

00:05:54.259 --> 00:05:57.199
 that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets.

00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:00.139
 I have not come to abolish them,

00:06:00.599 --> 00:06:01.920
 but to fulfill them.

00:06:02.939 --> 00:06:03.979
 Here in this section,

00:06:04.159 --> 00:06:07.459
 Jesus teaches the exactness of the law.

00:06:08.819 --> 00:06:09.779
 It is enduring,

00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:11.620
 and it is unbending.

00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:14.199
 And he, he says,

00:06:14.599 --> 00:06:16.180
 has come to fulfill it.

00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:17.339
 All of it.

00:06:18.500 --> 00:06:20.579
 Today the word of God is teaching us

00:06:20.579 --> 00:06:23.240
 that because Christ has come

00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:26.060
 to accomplish the law and the prophets,

00:06:26.060 --> 00:06:30.379
 Christians now have in him

00:06:30.379 --> 00:06:33.459
 a renewed life and relationship

00:06:33.459 --> 00:06:35.920
 to God's enduring laws.

00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:40.680
 I have three points I'd like to consider with you this morning.

00:06:41.939 --> 00:06:43.899
 And I will tell them to you,

00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:44.939
 if you're taking notes.

00:06:45.540 --> 00:06:46.180
 Number one,

00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:49.680
 accomplished, not abolished.

00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:50.600
 Okay?

00:06:50.980 --> 00:06:52.500
 Accomplished, not abolished.

00:06:52.840 --> 00:06:55.040
 The law is accomplished, not abolished.

00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:56.080
 Number two,

00:06:56.860 --> 00:06:59.000
 an unbending code of life.

00:06:59.900 --> 00:07:03.080
 The law is an unbending code of life.

00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:05.040
 And number three,

00:07:05.760 --> 00:07:07.480
 an exceeding righteousness.

00:07:08.260 --> 00:07:08.400
 Okay?

00:07:09.200 --> 00:07:10.120
 Now, boys and girls,

00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.259
 you should have been given a sheet

00:07:13.259 --> 00:07:15.520
 that we use back home.

00:07:15.740 --> 00:07:18.040
 And I'm very thankful that

00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:21.320
 your church has agreed to print this.

00:07:21.379 --> 00:07:22.939
 This is something that we use at home.

00:07:22.939 --> 00:07:24.860
 So, I have three key words

00:07:24.860 --> 00:07:25.860
 I'd like you to write down.

00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:27.560
 Now, those of you who are too young to do that,

00:07:27.699 --> 00:07:29.000
 mommy and daddy can help you

00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:30.879
 to write these key words.

00:07:30.980 --> 00:07:32.600
 And the reason I'm giving you these key words

00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:34.199
 is so that when you go home,

00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:35.480
 when you have family worship,

00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:36.759
 or in the car,

00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:38.240
 on your way to lunch,

00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:39.980
 you can ask daddy,

00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:41.180
 you can ask mommy.

00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:43.040
 So, daddy,

00:07:43.139 --> 00:07:44.399
 what did James mean

00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.060
 by these words?

00:07:46.180 --> 00:07:46.339
 Okay?

00:07:46.379 --> 00:07:47.339
 So, these are the three words.

00:07:47.379 --> 00:07:47.720
 Are you ready?

00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:49.360
 I want you to write them down.

00:07:50.200 --> 00:07:50.840
 Number one,

00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.220
 the word is fruit.

00:07:55.400 --> 00:07:55.700
 Okay?

00:07:55.820 --> 00:07:56.080
 Fruit.

00:07:57.900 --> 00:07:58.820
 Number two,

00:07:59.840 --> 00:08:01.960
 this is a really long word,

00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:04.260
 so I'll just give you the short form.

00:08:04.420 --> 00:08:05.040
 Three letters.

00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:06.880
 D and A.

00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:07.860
 Okay?

00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:09.240
 D and A.

00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:11.460
 And then the last word

00:08:11.460 --> 00:08:12.460
 I want you to write down

00:08:12.460 --> 00:08:14.260
 is the word extra.

00:08:15.220 --> 00:08:15.500
 Okay?

00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:17.339
 So, those are your key words.

00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:19.620
 You're probably not going to understand

00:08:19.620 --> 00:08:21.259
 a lot of what I'm going to say today,

00:08:21.899 --> 00:08:23.300
 but those key words

00:08:23.300 --> 00:08:24.199
 are going to be your guide

00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:24.939
 when you go home.

00:08:25.660 --> 00:08:26.540
 And mommy and daddy,

00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:29.579
 it's your duty now

00:08:29.579 --> 00:08:30.959
 to listen carefully.

00:08:31.779 --> 00:08:32.639
 Because the children

00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:33.940
 are going to come home

00:08:33.940 --> 00:08:35.539
 and ask you about this.

00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:35.799
 Okay?

00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:37.460
 So, let's look at the point in turn.

00:08:37.539 --> 00:08:37.940
 Number one,

00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:38.759
 accomplished,

00:08:39.059 --> 00:08:39.799
 not abolished.

00:08:41.179 --> 00:08:42.100
 Now, boys and girls,

00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:43.059
 the word I gave you

00:08:43.059 --> 00:08:44.580
 was the word fruit.

00:08:44.580 --> 00:08:48.860
 A flower that is cut from the plant,

00:08:48.940 --> 00:08:49.360
 we know,

00:08:50.060 --> 00:08:51.340
 dries up and dies.

00:08:52.400 --> 00:08:53.900
 But a flower that blooms

00:08:53.900 --> 00:08:55.200
 and matures

00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:56.920
 on the plant

00:08:56.920 --> 00:08:58.780
 eventually grows

00:08:58.780 --> 00:09:00.080
 into what it's meant to be.

00:09:00.940 --> 00:09:01.920
 In most cases,

00:09:02.180 --> 00:09:02.580
 a fruit.

00:09:03.580 --> 00:09:05.000
 And Jesus here is saying

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:06.639
 that he has not come

00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:07.700
 to abolish

00:09:07.700 --> 00:09:08.879
 or to cut down

00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:09.520
 the law,

00:09:10.259 --> 00:09:11.840
 but to fulfill it.

00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:13.680
 In Jesus,

00:09:13.800 --> 00:09:14.960
 the law finds

00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:16.399
 its ultimate meaning

00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:17.980
 and fulfillment.

00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:19.259
 Have a look with me

00:09:19.259 --> 00:09:20.960
 in verses 17 and 18.

00:09:22.040 --> 00:09:22.860
 He says,

00:09:22.980 --> 00:09:23.820
 the Lord Jesus says,

00:09:23.899 --> 00:09:24.920
 Do not think that I have come

00:09:24.920 --> 00:09:25.860
 to abolish the law

00:09:25.860 --> 00:09:27.080
 or the prophets.

00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:28.139
 I have not come

00:09:28.139 --> 00:09:29.000
 to abolish them,

00:09:29.500 --> 00:09:30.620
 but to fulfill them.

00:09:31.300 --> 00:09:31.960
 For truly,

00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:32.860
 I say to you,

00:09:32.940 --> 00:09:33.879
 until heaven and earth

00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:34.480
 pass away,

00:09:34.700 --> 00:09:35.519
 not an iota,

00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:36.860
 not a dot,

00:09:37.560 --> 00:09:38.800
 will pass from the law

00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:41.259
 until all is accomplished.

00:09:43.319 --> 00:09:43.839
 Friends,

00:09:44.099 --> 00:09:45.179
 the law and the prophets

00:09:45.179 --> 00:09:46.079
 here encompass

00:09:46.079 --> 00:09:47.559
 the whole Old Testament.

00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:48.579
 When Jesus says,

00:09:48.939 --> 00:09:49.639
 the law and the prophets,

00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:50.399
 he's talking about

00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:51.740
 the whole Old Testament.

00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:52.679
 The law pertains

00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:54.319
 to the first five books

00:09:54.319 --> 00:09:55.379
 written by Moses.

00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:57.019
 And prophets

00:09:57.019 --> 00:09:58.159
 is the shorthand

00:09:58.159 --> 00:09:58.879
 for the rest

00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:00.299
 of the Old Testament.

00:10:01.740 --> 00:10:03.099
 And Jesus here

00:10:03.099 --> 00:10:03.819
 is saying

00:10:03.819 --> 00:10:04.959
 that he has come

00:10:04.959 --> 00:10:06.000
 to abolish

00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:06.899
 none of it.

00:10:06.899 --> 00:10:08.120
 He has come

00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:08.840
 to fulfill

00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:09.779
 all of it.

00:10:11.079 --> 00:10:12.600
 Notice in verse 18,

00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:13.459
 he says,

00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:14.879
 not an iota,

00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:16.699
 now that's the smallest

00:10:16.699 --> 00:10:18.120
 letter in Greek,

00:10:20.199 --> 00:10:21.059
 not a dot,

00:10:21.299 --> 00:10:22.699
 not even a dot,

00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:24.079
 will pass away

00:10:24.079 --> 00:10:24.840
 from the law

00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:25.959
 until

00:10:25.959 --> 00:10:27.279
 all is accomplished.

00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:28.459
 Here,

00:10:28.579 --> 00:10:30.179
 Jesus was simply saying

00:10:30.179 --> 00:10:31.379
 that the prophet,

00:10:32.299 --> 00:10:33.480
 what the prophet

00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:34.259
 had long ago

00:10:34.259 --> 00:10:35.039
 affirmed

00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:36.759
 to be the youth

00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:37.460
 by date.

00:10:37.539 --> 00:10:38.200
 Is that correct?

00:10:38.299 --> 00:10:38.740
 The youth

00:10:38.740 --> 00:10:39.379
 by date

00:10:39.379 --> 00:10:40.120
 of the scriptures.

00:10:41.179 --> 00:10:41.960
 The grass withers,

00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:43.460
 the flowers fade,

00:10:44.539 --> 00:10:45.559
 but the word of God

00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:46.659
 will last forever.

00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:48.159
 Isaiah 48.

00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:50.120
 Now,

00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:50.740
 we are used

00:10:50.740 --> 00:10:51.299
 to the language

00:10:51.299 --> 00:10:51.939
 of Jesus

00:10:51.939 --> 00:10:53.600
 coming to fulfill

00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:54.639
 the prophets

00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:55.519
 or prophecy.

00:10:56.220 --> 00:10:56.799
 Isn't that how

00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:57.179
 we're taught?

00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:57.840
 Old Testament,

00:10:58.299 --> 00:10:58.539
 promise.

00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:00.319
 New Testament,

00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:01.039
 fulfillment.

00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:01.939
 Right?

00:11:02.319 --> 00:11:02.559
 And so,

00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:03.340
 we're accustomed

00:11:03.340 --> 00:11:04.340
 to thinking of

00:11:04.340 --> 00:11:05.819
 Jesus as fulfilling

00:11:05.819 --> 00:11:06.500
 prophecy.

00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:09.259
 2 Corinthians 1.20,

00:11:09.379 --> 00:11:09.779
 Paul writes,

00:11:09.860 --> 00:11:10.539
 for all the promises

00:11:10.539 --> 00:11:11.100
 of God,

00:11:11.460 --> 00:11:12.220
 find their yes

00:11:12.220 --> 00:11:12.939
 in Him.

00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:14.340
 But,

00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:15.439
 here's the question.

00:11:16.439 --> 00:11:16.939
 What does it

00:11:16.939 --> 00:11:18.179
 really mean

00:11:18.179 --> 00:11:19.519
 that Jesus

00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:20.299
 had come

00:11:20.299 --> 00:11:21.059
 not only to

00:11:21.059 --> 00:11:21.840
 fulfill the prophets,

00:11:21.980 --> 00:11:22.480
 not only to

00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:23.259
 fulfill prophecy,

00:11:23.500 --> 00:11:24.340
 but to fulfill

00:11:24.340 --> 00:11:25.200
 the law?

00:11:25.340 --> 00:11:26.360
 That's where I'd like

00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:26.960
 us to turn

00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:27.559
 our attention

00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:28.279
 this morning.

00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:30.439
 How does Jesus

00:11:30.439 --> 00:11:31.879
 fulfill the law?

00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:33.840
 Now,

00:11:33.899 --> 00:11:34.559
 we already said

00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:35.120
 that the law

00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.779
 is the first

00:11:37.779 --> 00:11:38.299
 five books

00:11:38.299 --> 00:11:38.779
 of the Bible.

00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:39.740
 But,

00:11:39.820 --> 00:11:40.559
 more specifically,

00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:42.139
 the law here

00:11:42.139 --> 00:11:44.120
 points to

00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:45.200
 the moral law

00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:46.779
 as summarily

00:11:46.779 --> 00:11:47.679
 comprehended

00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:48.759
 in the Ten Commandments,

00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:50.059
 Shorter Catechism 41.

00:11:51.220 --> 00:11:52.759
 We must see here

00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:53.939
 an important

00:11:53.939 --> 00:11:54.559
 parallel

00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:56.000
 between

00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:57.120
 two public

00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:57.519
 men,

00:11:57.519 --> 00:11:59.220
 two Adams,

00:11:59.980 --> 00:12:00.500
 who each

00:12:00.500 --> 00:12:01.179
 stand as

00:12:01.179 --> 00:12:01.899
 representatives

00:12:01.899 --> 00:12:03.679
 of other men.

00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:05.799
 Jesus

00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:06.980
 has come

00:12:06.980 --> 00:12:07.939
 as the last

00:12:07.939 --> 00:12:08.460
 Adam

00:12:08.460 --> 00:12:09.779
 to succeed

00:12:09.779 --> 00:12:10.439
 where the first

00:12:10.439 --> 00:12:10.840
 Adam

00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:11.740
 had failed.

00:12:12.299 --> 00:12:12.600
 Adam

00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:14.500
 had disobeyed God.

00:12:14.779 --> 00:12:15.059
 Adam

00:12:15.059 --> 00:12:15.799
 has broken

00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:16.799
 God's law.

00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:18.279
 And,

00:12:18.340 --> 00:12:19.360
 Jesus has come,

00:12:19.439 --> 00:12:19.879
 he says,

00:12:20.139 --> 00:12:20.840
 to perfectly

00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:21.460
 obey

00:12:21.460 --> 00:12:22.939
 and fulfill

00:12:22.939 --> 00:12:24.179
 the moral law.

00:12:25.100 --> 00:12:25.879
 Recall with me

00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:26.539
 Adam

00:12:26.539 --> 00:12:27.259
 in the garden.

00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:28.480
 God created

00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:29.480
 Adam

00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:30.639
 in his own image

00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:31.319
 and gave him

00:12:31.319 --> 00:12:32.039
 two commands.

00:12:32.460 --> 00:12:33.360
 A positive one

00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:34.639
 and a negative one.

00:12:34.699 --> 00:12:35.559
 The positive command

00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:36.059
 was

00:12:36.059 --> 00:12:37.500
 be fruitful

00:12:37.500 --> 00:12:38.539
 and multiply

00:12:38.539 --> 00:12:39.600
 and subdue

00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:40.139
 the earth.

00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:41.960
 Have dominion

00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:43.360
 over the creatures.

00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:44.460
 What was that?

00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:46.019
 Adam was made

00:12:46.019 --> 00:12:46.639
 in God's image

00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:47.720
 and God

00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:48.519
 was essentially

00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:49.340
 telling Adam,

00:12:49.579 --> 00:12:49.840
 Adam,

00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:50.939
 what I want you to do

00:12:50.939 --> 00:12:51.759
 is to go

00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:52.939
 out into the ends

00:12:52.939 --> 00:12:53.539
 of the earth

00:12:53.539 --> 00:12:55.279
 and fill it

00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:56.860
 with my image.

00:12:57.519 --> 00:12:58.519
 Adam

00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.319
 The negative command

00:13:01.319 --> 00:13:01.659
 was

00:13:01.659 --> 00:13:02.559
 do not eat

00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:03.199
 of the fruit

00:13:03.199 --> 00:13:04.039
 of the tree

00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:04.579
 of the knowledge

00:13:04.579 --> 00:13:05.559
 of good and evil.

00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:06.620
 There will be

00:13:06.620 --> 00:13:07.340
 a consequence.

00:13:08.439 --> 00:13:09.379
 For on that day

00:13:09.379 --> 00:13:10.319
 that you eat

00:13:10.319 --> 00:13:10.720
 of it

00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:11.559
 you shall

00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:12.100
 surely

00:13:12.100 --> 00:13:13.039
 die.

00:13:14.340 --> 00:13:14.919
 And we know

00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:15.559
 how the story

00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:16.480
 unfolds.

00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:17.319
 Adam ate

00:13:17.319 --> 00:13:19.139
 and he died.

00:13:20.059 --> 00:13:20.740
 And because

00:13:20.740 --> 00:13:22.139
 he was a public

00:13:22.139 --> 00:13:22.740
 man,

00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:24.439
 our catechism

00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:25.220
 teaches us

00:13:25.220 --> 00:13:26.360
 that the covenant

00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:27.020
 being made

00:13:27.020 --> 00:13:27.740
 with Adam

00:13:27.740 --> 00:13:28.700
 not only

00:13:28.700 --> 00:13:29.560
 for himself

00:13:29.560 --> 00:13:30.880
 but for his

00:13:30.880 --> 00:13:31.500
 posterity,

00:13:31.580 --> 00:13:32.260
 his descendants,

00:13:32.860 --> 00:13:33.560
 all mankind

00:13:33.560 --> 00:13:34.600
 descending from him

00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:35.460
 by ordinary

00:13:35.460 --> 00:13:36.300
 generation,

00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:37.980
 sinned in him

00:13:37.980 --> 00:13:39.780
 and fell with him

00:13:39.780 --> 00:13:40.700
 in his first

00:13:40.700 --> 00:13:41.400
 transgression.

00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:42.500
 Shorter Catechism

00:13:42.500 --> 00:13:42.980
 16.

00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:45.800
 And this is why

00:13:45.800 --> 00:13:46.620
 the Bible teaches

00:13:46.620 --> 00:13:47.480
 that Jesus

00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:48.840
 had to come

00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:49.940
 because the first

00:13:49.940 --> 00:13:50.300
 head,

00:13:50.700 --> 00:13:51.600
 the first public

00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:52.520
 man had failed.

00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:54.379
 Jesus had to

00:13:54.379 --> 00:13:55.100
 come as the

00:13:55.100 --> 00:13:55.960
 second Adam,

00:13:56.939 --> 00:13:57.720
 the head of

00:13:57.720 --> 00:13:58.779
 a new humanity.

00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:01.439
 For as by

00:14:01.439 --> 00:14:02.579
 the one man's

00:14:02.579 --> 00:14:03.360
 disobedience

00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:03.879
 the many were

00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:04.519
 made sinners,

00:14:04.779 --> 00:14:05.639
 so by the one

00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:06.559
 man's obedience

00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:07.740
 the many will

00:14:07.740 --> 00:14:08.840
 be made righteous.

00:14:09.299 --> 00:14:10.799
 Romans 5.19

00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:13.840
 In Jesus

00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:15.419
 the whole law

00:14:15.419 --> 00:14:16.939
 is fulfilled.

00:14:16.939 --> 00:14:17.120
 In Jesus

00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:23.360
 positively,

00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:25.060
 Jesus obeys

00:14:25.060 --> 00:14:25.500
 the law

00:14:25.500 --> 00:14:26.120
 to the very

00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:27.340
 last jot

00:14:27.340 --> 00:14:28.720
 and tittle.

00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:30.679
 It's interesting,

00:14:30.820 --> 00:14:31.220
 isn't it?

00:14:31.940 --> 00:14:32.840
 The way he puts it,

00:14:32.899 --> 00:14:33.419
 he says,

00:14:35.820 --> 00:14:36.500
 for I truly,

00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:37.860
 for truly I say

00:14:37.860 --> 00:14:38.360
 to you until

00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:38.840
 heaven and earth

00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:39.220
 pass away,

00:14:39.259 --> 00:14:40.000
 not an iota,

00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:41.240
 not a dot

00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:41.840
 will pass away

00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:42.279
 from the law

00:14:42.279 --> 00:14:43.060
 until all of it

00:14:43.060 --> 00:14:43.700
 is accomplished.

00:14:44.379 --> 00:14:44.860
 And that's what

00:14:44.860 --> 00:14:46.060
 he has come to do.

00:14:46.059 --> 00:14:47.779
 He has fulfilled

00:14:47.779 --> 00:14:49.819
 it to the

00:14:49.819 --> 00:14:50.159
 letter,

00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:51.179
 to the

00:14:51.179 --> 00:14:51.899
 dot.

00:14:54.699 --> 00:14:55.319
 As the

00:14:55.319 --> 00:14:55.679
 Redeemer,

00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:56.419
 Jesus had to

00:14:56.419 --> 00:14:57.459
 obey in three

00:14:57.459 --> 00:14:58.059
 ways.

00:14:58.779 --> 00:14:59.299
 I'll give that

00:14:59.299 --> 00:14:59.519
 to you.

00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:00.299
 The first way,

00:15:01.659 --> 00:15:02.219
 he had to

00:15:02.219 --> 00:15:02.699
 obey his

00:15:02.699 --> 00:15:03.859
 father's

00:15:03.859 --> 00:15:05.479
 sending of

00:15:05.479 --> 00:15:05.939
 him to the

00:15:05.939 --> 00:15:06.339
 world to

00:15:06.339 --> 00:15:06.879
 save sinners.

00:15:09.719 --> 00:15:10.199
 Second,

00:15:10.959 --> 00:15:11.699
 as a human

00:15:11.699 --> 00:15:12.199
 being,

00:15:13.459 --> 00:15:14.139
 he is

00:15:14.139 --> 00:15:15.559
 truly human.

00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:16.519
 he had to

00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:17.059
 obey the

00:15:17.059 --> 00:15:17.919
 moral law

00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:18.899
 impressed in

00:15:18.899 --> 00:15:19.479
 his heart

00:15:19.479 --> 00:15:20.379
 as the

00:15:20.379 --> 00:15:20.779
 image of

00:15:20.779 --> 00:15:21.079
 God.

00:15:22.239 --> 00:15:23.459
 And thirdly,

00:15:23.819 --> 00:15:24.599
 as a Jew,

00:15:24.899 --> 00:15:25.419
 he had to

00:15:25.419 --> 00:15:26.279
 obey all the

00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:27.399
 positive commands

00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:28.279
 and laws

00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:30.559
 in the

00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:30.959
 law of

00:15:30.959 --> 00:15:31.479
 Moses.

00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:32.239
 This

00:15:32.239 --> 00:15:33.000
 encompasses

00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:33.919
 the ceremonial

00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:34.879
 law as well

00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:35.119
 as the

00:15:35.119 --> 00:15:35.819
 civil laws.

00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:38.539
 And all

00:15:38.539 --> 00:15:39.619
 this,

00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:40.879
 he did

00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:41.739
 perfectly.

00:15:41.740 --> 00:15:44.200
 but that's

00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:44.720
 not all.

00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:45.460
 What does it

00:15:45.460 --> 00:15:45.860
 mean for

00:15:45.860 --> 00:15:46.360
 Jesus to

00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:47.100
 fulfill the

00:15:47.100 --> 00:15:47.360
 law?

00:15:47.560 --> 00:15:47.980
 It's not

00:15:47.980 --> 00:15:48.340
 just for

00:15:48.340 --> 00:15:48.639
 him to

00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:49.240
 actively

00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:50.060
 obey.

00:15:51.139 --> 00:15:51.700
 Negatively,

00:15:52.659 --> 00:15:53.340
 Jesus

00:15:53.340 --> 00:15:54.060
 fulfilled the

00:15:54.060 --> 00:15:54.399
 law by

00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:55.460
 suffering the

00:15:55.460 --> 00:15:56.480
 penalty and

00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:57.279
 consequences

00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:58.820
 of the sin

00:15:58.820 --> 00:15:59.580
 of Adam

00:15:59.580 --> 00:16:00.700
 and of all

00:16:00.700 --> 00:16:01.139
 those he

00:16:01.139 --> 00:16:01.700
 came to

00:16:01.700 --> 00:16:02.080
 redeem.

00:16:04.740 --> 00:16:05.560
 2 Corinthians

00:16:05.560 --> 00:16:06.240
 5.21,

00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:06.919
 for our

00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:07.620
 sake,

00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:09.620
 he made

00:16:09.620 --> 00:16:10.200
 him to

00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:10.820
 be sin

00:16:10.820 --> 00:16:11.600
 who knew

00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:12.320
 no sin

00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:13.299
 so that

00:16:13.299 --> 00:16:13.980
 in him

00:16:13.980 --> 00:16:15.960
 we might

00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:16.480
 become the

00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:16.940
 righteousness

00:16:16.940 --> 00:16:17.940
 of God.

00:16:18.940 --> 00:16:19.399
 Returning

00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:20.340
 to our

00:16:20.340 --> 00:16:20.820
 text,

00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:21.899
 we see

00:16:21.899 --> 00:16:22.799
 then that

00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:23.639
 Jesus takes

00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:24.240
 the proper

00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:24.820
 view of

00:16:24.820 --> 00:16:25.220
 the law

00:16:25.220 --> 00:16:26.340
 as God

00:16:26.340 --> 00:16:27.060
 had intended

00:16:27.060 --> 00:16:27.419
 it.

00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:28.840
 Now,

00:16:28.860 --> 00:16:29.419
 the Pharisees,

00:16:29.539 --> 00:16:29.879
 they were

00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:30.139
 very,

00:16:30.139 --> 00:16:30.720
 very,

00:16:30.899 --> 00:16:32.320
 how do you

00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:32.799
 put it,

00:16:33.419 --> 00:16:34.360
 enterprising

00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:35.100
 when it

00:16:35.100 --> 00:16:35.840
 comes to

00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:36.080
 their

00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:36.700
 interpretation

00:16:36.700 --> 00:16:37.120
 of the

00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:37.399
 law.

00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:39.399
 Pharisees

00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:39.840
 created a

00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:40.639
 whole system

00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:41.480
 of external

00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:42.120
 man-made

00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:42.860
 commands to

00:16:42.860 --> 00:16:43.560
 interpret the

00:16:43.560 --> 00:16:44.519
 limits and

00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:45.120
 the terms of

00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:45.480
 the law

00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:46.399
 according to

00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:46.620
 their

00:16:46.620 --> 00:16:47.379
 interpretation.

00:16:50.379 --> 00:16:51.160
 But this

00:16:51.160 --> 00:16:52.300
 only obscured

00:16:52.300 --> 00:16:53.300
 the true

00:16:53.300 --> 00:16:53.700
 meaning,

00:16:54.300 --> 00:16:54.780
 purpose,

00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:55.899
 and demands

00:16:55.899 --> 00:16:56.180
 of the

00:16:56.180 --> 00:16:56.420
 law.

00:16:58.060 --> 00:16:59.160
 The law

00:16:59.160 --> 00:17:00.200
 was,

00:17:01.580 --> 00:17:02.120
 is,

00:17:03.460 --> 00:17:04.160
 and will

00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:05.140
 always be

00:17:05.140 --> 00:17:06.580
 exact

00:17:06.580 --> 00:17:07.660
 and

00:17:07.660 --> 00:17:08.520
 unbending.

00:17:09.780 --> 00:17:10.160
 It's not

00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:10.520
 like after

00:17:10.520 --> 00:17:11.060
 the fall,

00:17:11.780 --> 00:17:12.060
 Jesus,

00:17:12.560 --> 00:17:12.759
 you know,

00:17:12.840 --> 00:17:13.100
 God

00:17:13.100 --> 00:17:13.740
 curved the

00:17:13.740 --> 00:17:14.140
 grade.

00:17:15.360 --> 00:17:15.620
 No,

00:17:15.700 --> 00:17:16.240
 the standard's

00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:16.700
 the same.

00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:18.380
 The law

00:17:18.380 --> 00:17:19.240
 remains

00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:20.120
 exacting

00:17:20.120 --> 00:17:21.160
 and unbending.

00:17:23.180 --> 00:17:24.000
 And that

00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:24.480
 brings us to

00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:24.940
 my second

00:17:24.940 --> 00:17:25.259
 point.

00:17:25.380 --> 00:17:25.680
 The law

00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:25.980
 is an

00:17:25.980 --> 00:17:26.620
 unbending

00:17:26.620 --> 00:17:27.380
 code of

00:17:27.380 --> 00:17:27.740
 life.

00:17:28.800 --> 00:17:29.060
 Now,

00:17:29.220 --> 00:17:29.560
 boys and

00:17:29.560 --> 00:17:29.780
 girls,

00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:30.259
 the word

00:17:30.259 --> 00:17:30.700
 I gave

00:17:30.700 --> 00:17:31.960
 you is

00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:33.099
 DNA.

00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:33.839
 That stands

00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:34.180
 for

00:17:34.180 --> 00:17:35.660
 deoxyribal

00:17:35.660 --> 00:17:36.879
 nucleic acid.

00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:37.619
 I don't want

00:17:37.619 --> 00:17:37.980
 you to write

00:17:37.980 --> 00:17:38.379
 that down.

00:17:38.660 --> 00:17:39.140
 DNA is

00:17:39.140 --> 00:17:39.660
 basically

00:17:39.660 --> 00:17:41.079
 the code

00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:41.500
 of life.

00:17:41.700 --> 00:17:43.200
 It is

00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:43.900
 the

00:17:43.900 --> 00:17:46.599
 smallest

00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:49.619
 part

00:17:49.619 --> 00:17:50.500
 that makes

00:17:50.500 --> 00:17:50.879
 us up.

00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:51.559
 Makes,

00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:52.559
 yeah,

00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:53.200
 makes us up.

00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:56.059
 And there's

00:17:56.059 --> 00:17:56.380
 a sense

00:17:56.380 --> 00:17:56.640
 in which

00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:57.180
 the law

00:17:57.180 --> 00:17:57.660
 is the

00:17:57.660 --> 00:17:58.160
 DNA,

00:17:58.580 --> 00:17:58.860
 or the

00:17:58.860 --> 00:17:59.420
 code of

00:17:59.420 --> 00:17:59.940
 life,

00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:01.319
 of humans

00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:01.880
 made in

00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:02.220
 God's

00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:02.700
 image.

00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:04.500
 Obeying

00:18:04.500 --> 00:18:04.759
 the law

00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:05.059
 is quite

00:18:05.059 --> 00:18:05.460
 simply

00:18:05.460 --> 00:18:06.039
 another way

00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:06.559
 of expressing

00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:07.000
 what the

00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:07.620
 chief end

00:18:07.620 --> 00:18:08.080
 of mankind

00:18:08.080 --> 00:18:08.660
 is.

00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:09.299
 Our

00:18:09.299 --> 00:18:09.779
 catechism

00:18:09.779 --> 00:18:10.539
 teaches us

00:18:10.539 --> 00:18:12.360
 to obey

00:18:12.360 --> 00:18:12.860
 the law

00:18:12.860 --> 00:18:13.600
 as we

00:18:13.600 --> 00:18:14.019
 should

00:18:14.019 --> 00:18:15.200
 is to

00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:15.799
 glorify

00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:16.240
 God

00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:16.740
 and to

00:18:16.740 --> 00:18:17.100
 enjoy

00:18:17.100 --> 00:18:17.400
 him

00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:17.920
 forever.

00:18:19.420 --> 00:18:19.519
 Now,

00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:20.200
 look with

00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:20.519
 me in

00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:21.460
 verse 19.

00:18:21.460 --> 00:18:22.960
 Therefore,

00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:23.400
 whoever

00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:24.019
 relaxes

00:18:24.019 --> 00:18:24.299
 one of

00:18:24.299 --> 00:18:24.680
 the least

00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:24.960
 of these

00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:25.400
 commandments

00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:25.940
 and teaches

00:18:25.940 --> 00:18:26.420
 others to

00:18:26.420 --> 00:18:26.680
 do the

00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:26.920
 same

00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:27.620
 will be

00:18:27.620 --> 00:18:27.819
 called

00:18:27.819 --> 00:18:28.279
 least

00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:28.559
 in the

00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:28.720
 kingdom

00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:29.220
 of heaven.

00:18:29.779 --> 00:18:29.960
 Whoever

00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:30.539
 does

00:18:30.539 --> 00:18:30.799
 them

00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:30.980
 and

00:18:30.980 --> 00:18:31.319
 teaches

00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:31.579
 them

00:18:31.579 --> 00:18:31.840
 will be

00:18:31.840 --> 00:18:32.019
 called

00:18:32.019 --> 00:18:32.539
 great

00:18:32.539 --> 00:18:32.900
 in the

00:18:32.900 --> 00:18:33.160
 kingdom

00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:33.500
 of

00:18:33.500 --> 00:18:33.819
 heaven.

00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:36.000
 The

00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:36.460
 law

00:18:36.460 --> 00:18:37.600
 is

00:18:37.600 --> 00:18:38.059
 an

00:18:38.059 --> 00:18:38.980
 expression

00:18:38.980 --> 00:18:39.620
 of the

00:18:39.620 --> 00:18:39.860
 very

00:18:39.860 --> 00:18:40.500
 character

00:18:40.500 --> 00:18:41.220
 and

00:18:41.220 --> 00:18:41.740
 nature

00:18:41.740 --> 00:18:41.980
 of

00:18:41.980 --> 00:18:42.279
 God.

00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:44.079
 When

00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:44.400
 God

00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:44.660
 made

00:18:44.660 --> 00:18:44.960
 man

00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:45.100
 in

00:18:45.100 --> 00:18:45.259
 his

00:18:45.259 --> 00:18:45.640
 own

00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:46.220
 image,

00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:47.420
 this

00:18:47.420 --> 00:18:48.180
 entailed

00:18:48.180 --> 00:18:49.019
 man

00:18:49.019 --> 00:18:50.000
 being,

00:18:50.539 --> 00:18:50.740
 in a

00:18:50.740 --> 00:18:51.000
 limited

00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:51.519
 sense,

00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:52.779
 like

00:18:52.779 --> 00:18:53.180
 God,

00:18:53.900 --> 00:18:54.160
 in

00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:54.640
 knowledge,

00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:55.660
 righteousness,

00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:56.819
 and

00:18:56.819 --> 00:18:57.200
 holiness.

00:19:00.120 --> 00:19:00.380
 Adam

00:19:00.380 --> 00:19:00.620
 was

00:19:00.620 --> 00:19:01.160
 originally

00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:01.960
 created

00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:03.660
 with

00:19:03.660 --> 00:19:04.279
 obligations

00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:04.799
 to

00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:05.059
 God,

00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:05.920
 simply

00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:06.420
 because

00:19:06.420 --> 00:19:06.799
 he was

00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:06.920
 a

00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:07.259
 creature,

00:19:08.339 --> 00:19:08.680
 simply

00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:09.079
 because

00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:09.400
 he was

00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:09.779
 made

00:19:09.779 --> 00:19:10.019
 in

00:19:10.019 --> 00:19:10.339
 God's

00:19:10.339 --> 00:19:10.680
 image

00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:10.900
 to

00:19:10.900 --> 00:19:11.279
 reflect

00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:11.500
 this

00:19:11.500 --> 00:19:13.079
 image.

00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:15.319
 The

00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:15.700
 moral

00:19:15.700 --> 00:19:16.200
 law

00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:16.880
 was not

00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:17.120
 an

00:19:17.120 --> 00:19:17.839
 add-on

00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:18.619
 to

00:19:18.619 --> 00:19:18.859
 his

00:19:18.859 --> 00:19:19.439
 existence,

00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:20.199
 but

00:19:20.199 --> 00:19:20.399
 was

00:19:20.399 --> 00:19:20.720
 rather

00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:21.159
 part

00:19:21.159 --> 00:19:21.359
 of

00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:21.539
 his

00:19:21.539 --> 00:19:21.879
 very

00:19:21.879 --> 00:19:22.399
 DNA.

00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:24.220
 And

00:19:24.220 --> 00:19:24.339
 so

00:19:24.339 --> 00:19:24.619
 with

00:19:24.619 --> 00:19:24.779
 or

00:19:24.779 --> 00:19:25.059
 without

00:19:25.059 --> 00:19:25.639
 positive

00:19:25.639 --> 00:19:26.359
 commands,

00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:26.919
 with

00:19:26.919 --> 00:19:27.079
 or

00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:27.439
 without

00:19:27.439 --> 00:19:28.199
 covenant,

00:19:29.159 --> 00:19:29.579
 Adam

00:19:29.579 --> 00:19:30.059
 owed

00:19:30.059 --> 00:19:30.519
 God

00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:31.559
 worship,

00:19:32.159 --> 00:19:32.599
 loyalty,

00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:33.720
 and

00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:34.299
 obedience.

00:19:35.299 --> 00:19:36.000
 And

00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:36.379
 so

00:19:36.379 --> 00:19:36.740
 do

00:19:36.740 --> 00:19:37.139
 we.

00:19:38.199 --> 00:19:38.699
 The

00:19:38.699 --> 00:19:38.859
 law

00:19:38.859 --> 00:19:39.059
 was

00:19:39.059 --> 00:19:39.579
 written

00:19:39.579 --> 00:19:39.859
 in

00:19:39.859 --> 00:19:40.259
 Adam's

00:19:40.259 --> 00:19:40.459
 heart

00:19:40.459 --> 00:19:40.839
 as an

00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:41.459
 unbending

00:19:41.459 --> 00:19:42.059
 code of

00:19:42.059 --> 00:19:42.439
 life,

00:19:42.639 --> 00:19:42.839
 as it

00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:44.039
 is

00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:44.619
 written

00:19:44.619 --> 00:19:45.559
 in our

00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:46.059
 hearts

00:19:46.059 --> 00:19:46.599
 as an

00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:47.200
 unbending

00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:47.919
 code of

00:19:47.919 --> 00:19:48.240
 life.

00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:50.039
 The

00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:50.359
 point of

00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:50.659
 this is

00:19:50.659 --> 00:19:51.000
 to say

00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:51.259
 that

00:19:51.259 --> 00:19:51.639
 the

00:19:51.639 --> 00:19:52.059
 law,

00:19:52.419 --> 00:19:53.019
 being a

00:19:53.019 --> 00:19:53.639
 reflection

00:19:53.639 --> 00:19:54.039
 of

00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:54.319
 God

00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:54.960
 himself,

00:19:55.399 --> 00:19:55.559
 could

00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:56.059
 never

00:19:56.059 --> 00:19:56.799
 therefore

00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:57.179
 be

00:19:57.179 --> 00:19:57.879
 relaxed

00:19:57.879 --> 00:19:58.399
 or

00:19:58.399 --> 00:19:58.639
 done

00:19:58.639 --> 00:19:58.919
 away

00:19:58.919 --> 00:19:59.319
 with.

00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:02.079
 We

00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:02.339
 will

00:20:02.339 --> 00:20:03.000
 have

00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:03.279
 to

00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:03.599
 deal

00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:03.839
 with

00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:04.019
 that

00:20:04.019 --> 00:20:04.599
 reality,

00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:05.159
 you

00:20:05.159 --> 00:20:05.359
 and

00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:05.579
 I,

00:20:06.500 --> 00:20:06.779
 because

00:20:06.779 --> 00:20:06.919
 we

00:20:06.919 --> 00:20:07.039
 are

00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:07.319
 made

00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:07.500
 in

00:20:07.500 --> 00:20:07.819
 God's

00:20:07.819 --> 00:20:08.359
 image.

00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:10.879
 God's

00:20:10.879 --> 00:20:11.159
 law

00:20:11.159 --> 00:20:11.379
 is

00:20:11.379 --> 00:20:11.759
 written

00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:11.960
 in

00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:12.139
 our

00:20:12.139 --> 00:20:12.579
 hearts

00:20:12.579 --> 00:20:13.539
 and

00:20:13.539 --> 00:20:13.679
 is

00:20:13.679 --> 00:20:14.460
 exacting

00:20:14.460 --> 00:20:14.740
 to

00:20:14.740 --> 00:20:15.079
 us.

00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:15.699
 It

00:20:15.699 --> 00:20:15.839
 is

00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:16.519
 unbending

00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:16.839
 to

00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:17.220
 us.

00:20:17.779 --> 00:20:18.000
 It

00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:18.220
 tells

00:20:18.220 --> 00:20:18.359
 us

00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:18.480
 how

00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:18.639
 we

00:20:18.639 --> 00:20:19.019
 ought

00:20:19.019 --> 00:20:19.279
 to

00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:19.619
 live.

00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:21.799
 And

00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:21.939
 this

00:20:21.939 --> 00:20:22.099
 is

00:20:22.099 --> 00:20:22.439
 Paul's

00:20:22.439 --> 00:20:22.720
 point,

00:20:22.819 --> 00:20:23.019
 isn't

00:20:23.019 --> 00:20:23.179
 it,

00:20:23.220 --> 00:20:23.399
 in

00:20:23.399 --> 00:20:23.919
 Ephesians

00:20:23.919 --> 00:20:24.279
 chapter

00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:24.639
 2.

00:20:24.980 --> 00:20:25.399
 Recall

00:20:25.399 --> 00:20:25.699
 the

00:20:25.699 --> 00:20:26.059
 order

00:20:26.059 --> 00:20:26.299
 of

00:20:26.299 --> 00:20:26.679
 things

00:20:26.679 --> 00:20:26.899
 as

00:20:26.899 --> 00:20:27.019
 he

00:20:27.019 --> 00:20:27.419
 expresses

00:20:27.419 --> 00:20:27.699
 it

00:20:27.699 --> 00:20:28.159
 in

00:20:28.159 --> 00:20:28.399

 to

00:20:28.980 --> 00:20:29.319
 10.

00:20:30.220 --> 00:20:30.399
 He

00:20:30.399 --> 00:20:30.699
 says,

00:20:30.980 --> 00:20:31.119
 for

00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:31.339
 by

00:20:31.339 --> 00:20:31.759
 grace

00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:31.899
 you

00:20:31.899 --> 00:20:32.039
 have

00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:32.179
 been

00:20:32.179 --> 00:20:32.539

00:20:32.539 --> 00:20:32.819
 through

00:20:32.819 --> 00:20:33.220
 faith,

00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:33.379
 and

00:20:33.379 --> 00:20:33.519
 this

00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:33.619
 is

00:20:33.619 --> 00:20:33.779
 not

00:20:33.779 --> 00:20:33.960
 your

 own

00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:35.419
 it

00:20:35.419 --> 00:20:35.539
 is

00:20:35.539 --> 00:20:35.699
 the

00:20:35.699 --> 00:20:35.960
 gift

00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:36.139
 of

00:20:36.139 --> 00:20:36.439
 God,

00:20:37.059 --> 00:20:37.879
 not

00:20:37.879 --> 00:20:38.019
 a

00:20:38.019 --> 00:20:38.279
 result

00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:38.480
 of

00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:38.759
 work,

00:20:38.859 --> 00:20:38.980
 so

00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:45.259
 8

00:20:45.259 --> 00:20:45.399
 and

00:20:45.399 --> 00:20:45.699
 9,

00:20:45.899 --> 00:20:46.199
 but

00:20:46.199 --> 00:20:46.419
 we

00:20:46.419 --> 00:20:46.599
 leave

00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:46.740
 out

00:20:46.740 --> 00:20:46.960
 verse

00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:47.199
 10,

00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:47.379
 which

00:20:47.379 --> 00:20:47.559
 is

00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:48.099
 so

00:20:48.099 --> 00:20:48.639
 important.

00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:49.899
 For

00:20:49.899 --> 00:20:50.379
 we

00:20:50.379 --> 00:20:50.839
 are

00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:51.299
 his

00:20:51.299 --> 00:20:52.179
 workmanship,

00:20:52.740 --> 00:20:53.259
 created

00:20:53.259 --> 00:20:53.599
 in

00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:53.960
 Christ

00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:54.579
 Jesus,

00:20:55.379 --> 00:20:55.720
 what did

00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:56.099
 he say?

00:20:56.399 --> 00:20:56.919
 For

00:20:56.919 --> 00:20:57.419
 good

00:20:57.419 --> 00:20:57.899
 works,

00:20:58.299 --> 00:20:58.579
 which

00:20:58.579 --> 00:20:58.779
 God

00:20:58.779 --> 00:20:59.079
 prepared

00:20:59.079 --> 00:20:59.659
 beforehand

00:20:59.659 --> 00:21:00.019
 that we

00:21:00.019 --> 00:21:00.220
 should

00:21:00.220 --> 00:21:00.480
 walk

00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:00.619
 in

00:21:00.619 --> 00:21:00.859
 them.

00:21:02.339 --> 00:21:02.759
 Good

00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:03.220
 works

00:21:03.220 --> 00:21:03.579
 then,

00:21:04.019 --> 00:21:04.240
 is

00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:04.460
 a

00:21:04.460 --> 00:21:04.799
 matter

00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:05.079
 of

00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:05.740
 God's

00:21:05.740 --> 00:21:06.339
 design.

00:21:07.059 --> 00:21:07.319
 God

00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:07.720
 made

00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:08.000
 us

00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:08.159
 to

00:21:08.159 --> 00:21:08.619
 glorify

00:21:08.619 --> 00:21:08.859
 him

00:21:08.859 --> 00:21:09.179
 and

00:21:09.179 --> 00:21:09.299
 to

00:21:09.299 --> 00:21:09.759
 enjoy

00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:09.960
 him

00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:10.220
 forever.

00:21:10.299 --> 00:21:10.439
 God

00:21:10.439 --> 00:21:10.639
 made

00:21:10.639 --> 00:21:10.779
 us

00:21:10.779 --> 00:21:10.939
 to

00:21:10.939 --> 00:21:11.139
 do

00:21:11.139 --> 00:21:11.379
 good

00:21:11.379 --> 00:21:11.859
 works.

00:21:12.859 --> 00:21:13.059
 No

00:21:13.059 --> 00:21:13.359
 wonder

00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:13.639
 all

00:21:13.639 --> 00:21:13.839
 other

00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:14.339
 religions

00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:16.240
 they

00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:16.399
 would

00:21:16.399 --> 00:21:16.639
 not

00:21:16.639 --> 00:21:17.119
 deny

00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:17.419
 doing

00:21:17.419 --> 00:21:17.819
 good

00:21:17.819 --> 00:21:18.859
 because

00:21:18.859 --> 00:21:19.419
 that's

00:21:19.419 --> 00:21:19.599
 the

00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:20.179
 impulse

00:21:20.179 --> 00:21:20.399
 of

00:21:20.399 --> 00:21:20.539
 our

00:21:20.539 --> 00:21:20.899
 hearts.

00:21:21.399 --> 00:21:21.480
 We

00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:21.659
 were

00:21:21.659 --> 00:21:22.139
 created

00:21:22.139 --> 00:21:22.439
 to

00:21:22.439 --> 00:21:22.599
 do

00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:22.799
 good

00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:23.019
 works.

00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:23.179
 The

00:21:23.179 --> 00:21:23.399
 problem

00:21:23.399 --> 00:21:23.639
 is

00:21:23.639 --> 00:21:24.299
 sin

00:21:24.299 --> 00:21:24.799
 has

00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:25.759
 killed

00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:26.179
 us

00:21:26.179 --> 00:21:27.480
 so

00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:27.839
 that

00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:29.019
 we're

00:21:29.019 --> 00:21:29.179
 no

00:21:29.179 --> 00:21:29.559
 longer

00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:29.960
 able

00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:30.980
 to

00:21:30.980 --> 00:21:31.439
 meet

00:21:31.439 --> 00:21:32.799
 God's

00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:33.139
 righteous

00:21:33.139 --> 00:21:33.980
 requirements.

00:21:34.199 --> 00:21:34.299
 But

00:21:34.299 --> 00:21:34.639
 we still

00:21:34.639 --> 00:21:34.939
 want to

00:21:34.939 --> 00:21:35.220
 try.

00:21:35.460 --> 00:21:35.639
 We

00:21:35.639 --> 00:21:35.819
 still

00:21:35.819 --> 00:21:36.139
 want to

00:21:36.139 --> 00:21:36.359
 do

00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:36.720
 it.

00:21:39.919 --> 00:21:40.480
 Good

00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:40.740
 works

00:21:40.740 --> 00:21:41.000
 is a

00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:41.199
 matter

00:21:41.199 --> 00:21:41.419
 of

00:21:41.419 --> 00:21:42.460
 God's

00:21:42.460 --> 00:21:42.899
 design,

00:21:43.399 --> 00:21:43.659
 not

00:21:43.659 --> 00:21:43.839
 of

00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:44.279
 how to

00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:44.639
 obtain

00:21:44.639 --> 00:21:45.039
 rights

00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:45.500
 standing

00:21:45.500 --> 00:21:45.819
 with

00:21:45.819 --> 00:21:46.059
 God.

00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:46.359
 Paul

00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:46.859
 is very

00:21:46.859 --> 00:21:47.139
 clear

00:21:47.139 --> 00:21:47.339
 about

00:21:47.339 --> 00:21:47.500
 that.

00:21:47.579 --> 00:21:47.659
 He

00:21:47.659 --> 00:21:47.899
 says,

00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:48.359
 it is

00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:48.940
 by grace

00:21:48.940 --> 00:21:49.159
 you've

00:21:49.159 --> 00:21:49.319
 been

00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:49.619
 saved

00:21:49.619 --> 00:21:49.899
 through

00:21:49.899 --> 00:21:50.139
 faith,

00:21:50.220 --> 00:21:50.359
 not

00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:50.539
 by

00:21:50.539 --> 00:21:51.039
 works.

00:21:52.700 --> 00:21:52.879
 But

00:21:52.879 --> 00:21:53.119
 you shouldn't

00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:53.619
 stop there

00:21:53.619 --> 00:21:54.200
 because then

00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:54.920
 you would

00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:55.960
 fall into

00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:56.440
 the trap

00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:56.639
 of

00:21:56.639 --> 00:21:57.099
 thinking,

00:21:57.779 --> 00:21:57.960
 oh,

00:21:58.099 --> 00:21:58.500
 now I'm

00:21:58.500 --> 00:21:58.720
 saved,

00:21:58.779 --> 00:21:58.960
 I can

00:21:58.960 --> 00:21:59.099
 do

00:21:59.099 --> 00:21:59.319
 whatever

00:21:59.319 --> 00:21:59.500
 I

00:21:59.500 --> 00:21:59.720
 want.

00:21:59.779 --> 00:22:00.039
 No.

00:22:01.379 --> 00:22:01.619
 By

00:22:01.619 --> 00:22:01.920
 grace

00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:02.079
 you've

00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:02.200
 been

00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:02.599
 saved

00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:03.559
 through

00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:03.819
 faith,

00:22:03.879 --> 00:22:04.039
 not

00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:04.200
 by

00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:04.619
 works.

00:22:05.059 --> 00:22:05.240
 But

00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:05.420
 later

00:22:05.420 --> 00:22:05.599
 he

00:22:05.599 --> 00:22:05.920
 says,

00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:06.139
 for

00:22:06.139 --> 00:22:06.259
 we

00:22:06.259 --> 00:22:06.339
 are

00:22:06.339 --> 00:22:06.599
 God's

00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:07.039
 workmanship,

00:22:07.180 --> 00:22:07.319
 created

00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:07.420
 in

00:22:07.420 --> 00:22:07.619
 Christ

00:22:07.619 --> 00:22:07.779
 Jesus,

00:22:08.159 --> 00:22:08.480
 for

00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:09.039
 good

00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:09.539
 works.

00:22:09.859 --> 00:22:10.240
 We're

00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:10.460
 not

00:22:10.460 --> 00:22:10.859
 saved

00:22:10.859 --> 00:22:11.019
 by

00:22:11.019 --> 00:22:11.180
 good

00:22:11.180 --> 00:22:11.319
 works,

00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:11.500
 we're

00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:11.819
 saved

00:22:11.819 --> 00:22:12.279
 to

00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:12.539
 do

00:22:12.539 --> 00:22:12.740
 good

00:22:12.740 --> 00:22:13.119
 works.

00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:14.480
 Good

00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:14.639
 works

00:22:14.639 --> 00:22:14.859
 is a

00:22:14.859 --> 00:22:15.019
 matter

00:22:15.019 --> 00:22:15.240
 of

00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:15.700
 proper

00:22:15.700 --> 00:22:16.359
 function.

00:22:18.819 --> 00:22:19.339
 Therefore

00:22:19.339 --> 00:22:19.639
 it

00:22:19.639 --> 00:22:20.139
 matters

00:22:20.139 --> 00:22:20.720
 how

00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:20.940
 we

00:22:20.940 --> 00:22:21.339
 relate

00:22:21.339 --> 00:22:21.539
 to

00:22:21.539 --> 00:22:21.740
 the

00:23:01.819 --> 00:23:02.420
 It

00:23:02.420 --> 00:23:02.819

00:23:06.019 --> 00:23:06.559
 Sin,

 however,

00:23:07.660 --> 00:23:08.080

 Our

 But

 There's

00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:24.400
 What

00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:24.560
 does

00:24:24.560 --> 00:24:25.120
 extra

00:24:25.120 --> 00:24:25.880
 mean?

00:24:26.820 --> 00:24:27.140
 It

00:24:27.140 --> 00:24:27.460
 means

00:24:27.460 --> 00:24:27.820
 something

00:24:27.820 --> 00:24:28.200
 that is

00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:28.820
 not part

00:24:28.820 --> 00:24:29.540
 of

00:24:29.539 --> 00:24:29.779
 the

00:24:29.779 --> 00:24:30.359
 package

00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:31.220
 that

00:24:31.220 --> 00:24:31.440
 is

00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:32.059
 additional

00:24:32.059 --> 00:24:32.379
 or

00:24:32.379 --> 00:24:32.799
 outside

00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:33.119
 of

00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:33.299
 it.

00:24:35.079 --> 00:24:35.599
 So,

00:24:36.159 --> 00:24:36.819
 if you

00:24:36.819 --> 00:24:37.099
 go to

00:24:37.099 --> 00:24:37.279
 a

00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:37.519
 chippy

00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:37.920
 shop

00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:38.839
 and

00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:39.139
 order

00:24:39.139 --> 00:24:39.639
 yourself

00:24:39.639 --> 00:24:39.879

00:24:39.879 --> 00:24:40.240
 nice

00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:40.879
 battered

00:24:40.879 --> 00:24:41.279
 fish,

00:24:41.879 --> 00:24:42.680
 that

00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:42.879
 is

00:24:42.879 --> 00:24:43.159
 all

00:24:43.159 --> 00:24:43.379
 that

00:24:43.379 --> 00:24:43.579
 you're

00:24:43.579 --> 00:24:43.740
 going

00:24:43.740 --> 00:24:43.839
 to

00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:44.099
 get.

00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:45.279
 You

00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:45.480
 want

00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:45.799
 french

00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:46.059
 fries,

00:24:46.159 --> 00:24:46.240
 I

00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:46.420
 mean

00:24:46.420 --> 00:24:46.940
 chips,

00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:49.639
 you

00:24:49.639 --> 00:24:49.839
 would

00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:50.039
 have

00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:50.220
 to

00:24:50.220 --> 00:24:50.519
 order

00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:51.240
 extra.

00:24:51.859 --> 00:24:52.079
 It's

00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:52.180
 not

00:24:52.180 --> 00:24:52.379
 part

00:24:52.379 --> 00:24:52.480
 of

00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:52.579
 the

00:24:52.579 --> 00:24:53.019
 original

00:24:53.019 --> 00:24:53.619
 order.

00:24:54.819 --> 00:24:54.940
 And

00:24:54.940 --> 00:24:55.220
 Jesus

00:24:55.220 --> 00:24:55.500
 here

00:24:55.500 --> 00:24:56.240
 speaks

00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:56.879
 of

00:24:56.879 --> 00:24:57.059
 a

00:24:57.059 --> 00:24:57.519
 righteousness

00:24:57.519 --> 00:24:57.879
 that

00:24:57.879 --> 00:24:58.720
 exceeds

00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:00.120
 that

00:25:00.120 --> 00:25:00.440
 of the

00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:00.920
 scribes

00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:01.259
 and the

00:25:01.259 --> 00:25:02.000
 Pharisees.

00:25:02.660 --> 00:25:03.039
 But what

00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:03.400
 does this

00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:03.680
 mean?

00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:05.360
 And can

00:25:05.360 --> 00:25:05.640
 we

00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:06.480
 find this

00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:07.000
 righteousness

00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:09.140
 in

00:25:09.140 --> 00:25:09.660
 ourselves?

00:25:10.660 --> 00:25:11.019
 No.

00:25:11.900 --> 00:25:12.519
 It is

00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:13.180
 extra.

00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:14.640
 It is

00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:15.319
 outside

00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:16.100
 of us.

00:25:17.980 --> 00:25:18.559
 Read with

00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:18.720
 me

00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:19.100
 verse

00:25:19.100 --> 00:25:19.660
 20.

00:25:20.220 --> 00:25:20.480
 The Lord

00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:20.740
 Jesus

00:25:20.740 --> 00:25:21.220
 here says,

00:25:21.299 --> 00:25:21.519
 For I

00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:22.079
 tell you,

00:25:22.380 --> 00:25:22.900
 unless your

00:25:22.900 --> 00:25:23.339
 righteousness

00:25:23.339 --> 00:25:24.140
 exceeds

00:25:24.140 --> 00:25:24.600
 that of

00:25:24.600 --> 00:25:24.779
 the

00:25:24.779 --> 00:25:25.220
 scribes

00:25:25.220 --> 00:25:25.500
 and the

00:25:25.500 --> 00:25:26.220
 Pharisees,

00:25:26.860 --> 00:25:27.480
 you

00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:27.680
 will

00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:28.079
 never

00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:29.180
 enter

00:25:29.180 --> 00:25:29.559
 the

00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:29.839
 kingdom

00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:30.160
 of

00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:30.500
 heaven.

00:25:34.500 --> 00:25:35.180
 The

00:25:35.180 --> 00:25:35.500
 law

00:25:35.500 --> 00:25:36.140
 is

00:25:36.140 --> 00:25:37.120
 exacting

00:25:37.120 --> 00:25:38.059
 and

00:25:38.059 --> 00:25:38.860
 unbending

00:25:38.860 --> 00:25:41.920
 and all

00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:42.140
 of

00:25:42.140 --> 00:25:42.799
 humanity,

00:25:43.059 --> 00:25:43.620
 O God,

00:25:43.860 --> 00:25:44.019
 their

00:25:44.019 --> 00:25:44.600
 perfect

00:25:44.600 --> 00:25:45.460
 obedience.

00:25:46.579 --> 00:25:46.700
 I've

00:25:46.700 --> 00:25:46.819
 been

00:25:46.819 --> 00:25:47.059
 quoting

00:25:47.059 --> 00:25:47.380
 from the

00:25:47.380 --> 00:25:47.559
 Shorter

00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:48.079
 Catechism.

00:25:48.180 --> 00:25:48.380
 Let me

00:25:48.380 --> 00:25:48.759
 quote from

00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:49.079
 another

00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:49.759
 catechism,

00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:50.600
 a newer

00:25:50.600 --> 00:25:51.000
 one.

00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:52.120
 In

00:25:52.120 --> 00:25:52.440
 question

00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:52.880
 and answer

00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:53.400
 seven of

00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:53.519
 the

00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:53.720
 New

00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:53.960
 City

00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:54.620
 Catechism,

00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:56.259
 it asks,

00:25:56.840 --> 00:25:57.620
 What does

00:25:57.620 --> 00:25:58.539
 the law

00:25:58.539 --> 00:25:58.980
 of God

00:25:58.980 --> 00:25:59.640
 require?

00:26:00.380 --> 00:26:00.840
 Answer,

00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:02.539
 personal,

00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:03.840
 perfect,

00:26:04.500 --> 00:26:05.319
 and perpetual

00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:06.240
 obedience.

00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:07.759
 That we

00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:08.500
 love God

00:26:08.500 --> 00:26:09.360
 with all

00:26:09.360 --> 00:26:10.259
 our heart,

00:26:10.740 --> 00:26:11.240
 soul,

00:26:11.740 --> 00:26:12.140
 mind,

00:26:12.259 --> 00:26:13.000
 and strength,

00:26:13.500 --> 00:26:14.579
 and love

00:26:14.579 --> 00:26:15.240
 our neighbor

00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:16.640
 as ourselves.

00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:18.140
 What God

00:26:18.140 --> 00:26:18.740
 forbids

00:26:18.740 --> 00:26:19.559
 should never

00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:20.059
 be done,

00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:21.200
 and what

00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:22.220
 God commands

00:26:22.220 --> 00:26:23.779
 should always

00:26:23.779 --> 00:26:24.440
 be done.

00:26:25.579 --> 00:26:25.859
 It's a

00:26:25.859 --> 00:26:26.539
 pretty heavy

00:26:26.539 --> 00:26:27.240
 burden,

00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:27.759
 isn't it?

00:26:27.819 --> 00:26:28.279
 But remember,

00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:30.139
 it's DNA.

00:26:30.899 --> 00:26:31.379
 It's the

00:26:31.379 --> 00:26:31.759
 code of

00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:31.980
 life.

00:26:32.099 --> 00:26:33.079
 It's what

00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:33.579
 we were

00:26:33.579 --> 00:26:34.139
 actually

00:26:34.139 --> 00:26:36.160
 made to

00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:36.859
 be and

00:26:36.859 --> 00:26:37.299
 to do.

00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:40.359
 And so

00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:40.819
 that's the

00:26:40.819 --> 00:26:41.220
 standard.

00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:43.259
 The law

00:26:43.259 --> 00:26:43.980
 is exacting

00:26:43.980 --> 00:26:44.619
 and unbending

00:26:44.619 --> 00:26:45.519
 that nothing

00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:46.240
 short of

00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:46.920
 personal,

00:26:47.819 --> 00:26:48.379
 perfect,

00:26:48.819 --> 00:26:49.539
 and perpetual

00:26:49.539 --> 00:26:50.180
 obedience

00:26:50.180 --> 00:26:51.320
 is what

00:26:51.320 --> 00:26:51.660
 God

00:26:51.660 --> 00:26:52.460
 expects

00:26:52.460 --> 00:26:53.180
 from all

00:26:53.180 --> 00:26:53.759
 of us.

00:26:54.320 --> 00:26:54.620
 Unless

00:26:54.620 --> 00:26:55.200
 our

00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:55.900
 righteousness

00:26:55.900 --> 00:26:56.759
 exceeds that

00:26:56.759 --> 00:26:57.080
 of the

00:26:57.080 --> 00:26:57.539
 scribes

00:26:57.539 --> 00:26:58.500
 and Pharisees,

00:26:59.500 --> 00:26:59.920
 and that's

00:26:59.920 --> 00:27:00.420
 not saying

00:27:00.420 --> 00:27:00.740
 much,

00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:01.039
 really,

00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:02.240
 we will

00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:02.620
 never

00:27:02.620 --> 00:27:03.180
 enter

00:27:03.180 --> 00:27:03.920
 the

00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:04.220
 kingdom

00:27:04.220 --> 00:27:04.920
 of heaven.

00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:08.380
 Jesus is

00:27:08.380 --> 00:27:08.960
 not proposing

00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:09.360
 a new

00:27:09.360 --> 00:27:10.080
 merit scheme

00:27:10.080 --> 00:27:10.340
 here,

00:27:10.460 --> 00:27:10.680
 okay?

00:27:11.539 --> 00:27:12.100
 He's not

00:27:12.100 --> 00:27:12.400
 saying,

00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:12.880
 well,

00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:13.140
 there's

00:27:13.140 --> 00:27:13.980
 another way

00:27:13.980 --> 00:27:14.360
 to get

00:27:14.360 --> 00:27:14.860
 into the

00:27:14.860 --> 00:27:16.000
 kingdom of

00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:16.279
 heaven.

00:27:17.580 --> 00:27:18.200
 Work

00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:18.640
 harder

00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:19.820
 until you

00:27:19.820 --> 00:27:20.320
 exceed the

00:27:20.320 --> 00:27:20.700
 righteousness

00:27:20.700 --> 00:27:21.120
 of the

00:27:21.120 --> 00:27:21.420
 scribes

00:27:21.420 --> 00:27:22.180
 and Pharisees.

00:27:22.940 --> 00:27:23.200
 No.

00:27:23.900 --> 00:27:24.400
 He is

00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:25.300
 saying that

00:27:25.300 --> 00:27:25.960
 the righteousness

00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:26.580
 of the

00:27:26.580 --> 00:27:27.240
 scribes

00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:28.300
 and Pharisees

00:27:28.300 --> 00:27:29.000
 is actually

00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:29.860
 the same

00:27:29.860 --> 00:27:30.840
 righteousness

00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:32.159
 that you

00:27:32.159 --> 00:27:32.500
 and I

00:27:32.500 --> 00:27:32.959
 have.

00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:33.740
 It is

00:27:33.740 --> 00:27:33.919
 the

00:27:33.919 --> 00:27:34.399
 righteousness

00:27:34.399 --> 00:27:35.019
 of

00:27:35.019 --> 00:27:35.720
 sinners,

00:27:36.439 --> 00:27:37.839
 which is

00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:38.799
 no righteousness

00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:39.599
 at all

00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:39.899
 in the

00:27:39.899 --> 00:27:40.199
 final

00:27:40.199 --> 00:27:40.759
 analysis.

00:27:41.500 --> 00:27:41.659
 The

00:27:41.659 --> 00:27:42.119
 littlest

00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:42.740
 sin

00:27:42.740 --> 00:27:44.779
 contaminates

00:27:44.779 --> 00:27:45.419
 us.

00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:48.779
 This

00:27:48.779 --> 00:27:49.059
 week,

00:27:49.179 --> 00:27:49.480
 I had a

00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:50.079
 chance to

00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:51.980
 sample

00:27:51.980 --> 00:27:52.480
 different

00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:53.279
 restaurants.

00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:53.799
 It's

00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:54.139
 wonderful,

00:27:54.500 --> 00:27:54.859
 isn't it?

00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:55.539
 London is

00:27:55.539 --> 00:27:55.819
 such a

00:27:55.819 --> 00:27:56.759
 cosmopolitan

00:27:56.759 --> 00:27:57.359
 city,

00:27:57.919 --> 00:27:58.339
 and there's

00:27:58.339 --> 00:27:59.059
 just so

00:27:59.059 --> 00:27:59.859
 much

00:27:59.859 --> 00:28:02.259
 internationals

00:28:02.259 --> 00:28:04.099
 here and

00:28:04.099 --> 00:28:04.439
 there.

00:28:05.959 --> 00:28:06.500
 And I

00:28:06.500 --> 00:28:07.039
 noticed that

00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:07.759
 in your

00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:08.939
 establishments

00:28:08.939 --> 00:28:09.339
 there's this

00:28:09.339 --> 00:28:09.740
 sticker,

00:28:10.019 --> 00:28:10.359
 the food

00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:10.819
 hygiene

00:28:10.819 --> 00:28:11.299
 sticker

00:28:11.299 --> 00:28:12.759
 rating.

00:28:15.099 --> 00:28:15.459
 We don't

00:28:15.459 --> 00:28:15.779
 have that.

00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:19.799
 That's why

00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:19.939
 it's

00:28:19.939 --> 00:28:20.279
 interesting.

00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:21.799
 Now,

00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:23.619
 suppose you

00:28:23.619 --> 00:28:23.979
 were an

00:28:23.979 --> 00:28:24.839
 inspector in

00:28:24.839 --> 00:28:25.539
 that agency

00:28:25.539 --> 00:28:25.919
 and it

00:28:25.919 --> 00:28:26.279
 has come

00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:26.559
 to your

00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:26.879
 attention

00:28:26.879 --> 00:28:28.000
 that one

00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:28.899
 restaurant

00:28:28.899 --> 00:28:29.719
 in central

00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:30.559
 London

00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:31.839
 serves

00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:32.680
 tap water.

00:28:32.819 --> 00:28:33.059
 And your

00:28:33.059 --> 00:28:33.400
 tap water

00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:33.740
 is good.

00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:34.460
 It's potable,

00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:34.740
 right?

00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:36.759
 Serves tap

00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:38.200
 water with

00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:39.640
 one drop

00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:40.360
 of toilet

00:28:40.360 --> 00:28:40.920
 water in

00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:41.539
 each glass.

00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:42.240
 Just one

00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:42.480
 drop.

00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:45.480
 Would you

00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:46.079
 give them a

00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:46.380
 pass?

00:28:47.339 --> 00:28:47.720
 Of course

00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:48.059
 not.

00:28:48.900 --> 00:28:49.640
 How about

00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:50.480
 if they said,

00:28:50.539 --> 00:28:50.920
 no, no, no,

00:28:50.980 --> 00:28:51.400
 it's not really

00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:52.059
 just one drop.

00:28:52.460 --> 00:28:53.019
 It's in the

00:28:53.019 --> 00:28:53.720
 whole pitcher.

00:28:54.620 --> 00:28:55.799
 One liter

00:28:55.799 --> 00:28:56.259
 full.

00:28:56.259 --> 00:28:57.879
 toilet

00:28:57.879 --> 00:28:58.259
 water.

00:28:58.259 --> 00:28:58.619
 One drop

00:28:58.619 --> 00:29:00.039
 toilet water

00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:00.500
 just to

00:29:00.500 --> 00:29:00.980
 make it

00:29:00.980 --> 00:29:02.559
 ours.

00:29:05.259 --> 00:29:06.000
 Would you

00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:06.299
 give them

00:29:06.299 --> 00:29:06.839
 a pass?

00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:08.440
 No.

00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:10.059
 How about

00:29:10.059 --> 00:29:10.879
 if they

00:29:10.879 --> 00:29:11.640
 had huge

00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:12.759
 five-gallon

00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:14.400
 water containers?

00:29:16.460 --> 00:29:16.980
 And let's

00:29:16.980 --> 00:29:17.519
 change it up

00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:17.819
 a bit.

00:29:18.220 --> 00:29:18.599
 They say,

00:29:18.859 --> 00:29:19.400
 no, okay.

00:29:20.299 --> 00:29:20.960
 It's not

00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:21.460
 one drop

00:29:21.460 --> 00:29:21.819
 from the

00:29:21.819 --> 00:29:22.420
 toilet paper

00:29:22.420 --> 00:29:22.900
 anymore,

00:29:23.099 --> 00:29:24.599
 toilet bowl

00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:25.039
 anymore.

00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:26.099
 It's one

00:29:26.099 --> 00:29:27.619
 drop from

00:29:27.619 --> 00:29:28.879
 the one

00:29:28.879 --> 00:29:29.639
 liter with

00:29:29.639 --> 00:29:30.099
 one drop,

00:29:30.219 --> 00:29:30.399
 okay?

00:29:31.339 --> 00:29:31.859
 Further

00:29:31.859 --> 00:29:32.500
 diluted.

00:29:34.179 --> 00:29:34.699
 And then

00:29:34.699 --> 00:29:35.879
 we serve

00:29:35.879 --> 00:29:36.899
 people water

00:29:36.899 --> 00:29:37.719
 from that

00:29:37.719 --> 00:29:38.399
 five-gallon

00:29:38.399 --> 00:29:39.079
 container.

00:29:40.219 --> 00:29:40.799
 Will you

00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:41.119
 give them

00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:41.599
 a pass?

00:29:43.379 --> 00:29:44.099
 Absolutely

00:29:44.099 --> 00:29:45.759
 not.

00:29:47.439 --> 00:29:48.139
 See,

00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:49.019
 the whole

00:29:49.019 --> 00:29:50.319
 five-gallon

00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:51.159
 container

00:29:51.159 --> 00:29:53.059
 is now

00:29:53.059 --> 00:29:53.939
 contaminated.

00:29:54.599 --> 00:29:56.719
 Even if

00:29:56.719 --> 00:29:57.179
 I gave

00:29:57.179 --> 00:29:57.980
 you five

00:29:57.980 --> 00:29:58.719
 quid,

00:29:58.859 --> 00:29:59.279
 you wouldn't

00:29:59.279 --> 00:29:59.980
 drink that

00:29:59.980 --> 00:30:00.579
 if you knew

00:30:00.579 --> 00:30:00.959
 what was

00:30:00.959 --> 00:30:01.399
 in it.

00:30:02.439 --> 00:30:02.839
 And that's

00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:03.139
 what we

00:30:03.139 --> 00:30:04.439
 are before

00:30:04.439 --> 00:30:04.839
 God.

00:30:06.019 --> 00:30:06.659
 Each one

00:30:06.659 --> 00:30:07.199
 of us

00:30:07.199 --> 00:30:08.879
 contaminated.

00:30:09.019 --> 00:30:09.279
 It doesn't

00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:09.879
 matter if

00:30:09.879 --> 00:30:10.980
 there's a

00:30:10.980 --> 00:30:11.819
 cup of

00:30:11.819 --> 00:30:12.439
 toilet water

00:30:12.439 --> 00:30:12.819
 in you

00:30:12.819 --> 00:30:13.240
 or just

00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:13.639
 a drop.

00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:16.179
 We are

00:30:16.179 --> 00:30:16.599
 utterly

00:30:16.599 --> 00:30:17.859
 unacceptable.

00:30:17.859 --> 00:30:17.959
 acceptable.

00:30:20.899 --> 00:30:21.819
 The question

00:30:21.819 --> 00:30:22.240
 for us

00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:23.500
 then is

00:30:23.500 --> 00:30:26.839
 where is

00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:27.139
 your

00:30:27.139 --> 00:30:27.639
 righteousness?

00:30:28.859 --> 00:30:29.679
 Have you

00:30:29.679 --> 00:30:30.240
 any

00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:31.179
 acceptable

00:30:31.179 --> 00:30:31.699
 that is

00:30:31.699 --> 00:30:32.279
 perfect

00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:33.119
 righteousness

00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:33.659
 of your

00:30:33.659 --> 00:30:34.139
 own to

00:30:34.139 --> 00:30:34.619
 show for?

00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:36.919
 And if

00:30:36.919 --> 00:30:37.259
 not,

00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:38.199
 where can

00:30:38.199 --> 00:30:38.740
 you find

00:30:38.740 --> 00:30:39.339
 such

00:30:39.339 --> 00:30:40.339
 exceeding

00:30:40.339 --> 00:30:41.359
 righteousness?

00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:41.579
 righteousness,

00:30:42.619 --> 00:30:42.979
 the kind

00:30:42.979 --> 00:30:43.740
 that exceeds

00:30:43.740 --> 00:30:44.519
 the righteousness

00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:45.079
 of the

00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:45.759
 scribes

00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:46.639
 and the

00:30:46.639 --> 00:30:47.419
 Pharisees?

00:30:48.179 --> 00:30:48.519
 I don't

00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:48.639
 know,

00:30:48.719 --> 00:30:49.139
 maybe the

00:30:49.139 --> 00:30:49.819
 Pharisees

00:30:49.819 --> 00:30:52.579
 are 99%

00:30:52.579 --> 00:30:53.399
 clean water

00:30:53.399 --> 00:30:54.559
 and just

00:30:54.559 --> 00:30:55.319
 one drop

00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:56.419
 of toilet

00:30:56.419 --> 00:30:57.079
 water.

00:30:58.519 --> 00:30:59.099
 Where do you

00:30:59.099 --> 00:30:59.599
 find that

00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:00.059
 righteousness?

00:31:01.199 --> 00:31:02.099
 It's extra.

00:31:02.939 --> 00:31:03.939
 It's outside

00:31:03.939 --> 00:31:04.619
 of yourself.

00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:06.819
 It's not

00:31:06.819 --> 00:31:07.359
 something we

00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:08.139
 can muster

00:31:08.139 --> 00:31:09.079
 through sheer

00:31:09.079 --> 00:31:10.240
 willpower or

00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:11.099
 performance.

00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:13.680
 It is

00:31:13.680 --> 00:31:14.359
 something that

00:31:14.359 --> 00:31:14.880
 can only

00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:15.740
 be found

00:31:15.740 --> 00:31:18.019
 in the

00:31:18.019 --> 00:31:18.440
 perfect

00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:19.019
 righteousness

00:31:19.019 --> 00:31:19.920
 of Jesus

00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:20.539
 Christ.

00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:22.240
 Martin

00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:22.519
 Luther

00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:23.099
 called this

00:31:23.099 --> 00:31:24.279
 an alien

00:31:24.279 --> 00:31:25.359
 righteousness.

00:31:26.940 --> 00:31:27.180
 A

00:31:27.180 --> 00:31:27.759
 perfect

00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:28.279
 righteousness

00:31:28.279 --> 00:31:28.859
 that is

00:31:28.859 --> 00:31:29.740
 extra

00:31:29.740 --> 00:31:30.539
 alien,

00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:31.359
 foreign

00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:32.400
 to us,

00:31:33.059 --> 00:31:33.880
 that comes

00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:34.660
 to us

00:31:34.660 --> 00:31:35.319
 without

00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:35.700
 our

00:31:35.700 --> 00:31:36.180
 efforts.

00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:40.160
 So

00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:40.400
 what is

00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:40.680
 Jesus

00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:41.080
 saying

00:31:41.080 --> 00:31:41.259
 in

00:31:41.259 --> 00:31:41.460
 verse

00:31:41.460 --> 00:31:42.000
 20?

00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:46.060
 What does

00:31:46.060 --> 00:31:46.580
 it mean

00:31:46.580 --> 00:31:46.900
 when he

00:31:46.900 --> 00:31:47.140
 says,

00:31:47.220 --> 00:31:47.420
 for I

00:31:47.420 --> 00:31:47.740
 tell you,

00:31:47.800 --> 00:31:48.080
 unless

00:31:48.080 --> 00:31:48.640
 your

00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:49.120
 righteousness

00:31:49.120 --> 00:31:49.759
 exceeds

00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:50.180
 that of

00:31:50.180 --> 00:31:50.320
 the

00:31:50.320 --> 00:31:50.680
 scribes

00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:50.840
 and

00:31:50.840 --> 00:31:51.460
 Pharisees,

00:31:51.600 --> 00:31:51.880
 you

00:31:51.880 --> 00:31:52.040
 will

00:31:52.040 --> 00:31:52.340
 never

00:31:52.340 --> 00:31:52.800
 enter

00:31:52.800 --> 00:31:53.000
 the

00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:53.220
 kingdom

00:31:53.220 --> 00:31:53.440
 of

00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:53.740
 heaven.

00:31:54.680 --> 00:31:55.100
 If

00:31:55.100 --> 00:31:55.300
 we

00:31:55.300 --> 00:31:55.500
 are

00:31:55.500 --> 00:31:56.019
 all

00:31:56.019 --> 00:31:56.840
 contaminated

00:31:56.840 --> 00:31:57.420
 with

00:31:57.420 --> 00:31:57.940
 sin,

00:31:58.120 --> 00:31:58.240
 the

00:31:58.240 --> 00:31:58.480
 toilet

00:31:58.480 --> 00:31:58.820
 water

00:31:58.820 --> 00:31:59.060
 of

00:31:59.060 --> 00:31:59.540
 sin,

00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:01.420
 where

00:32:01.420 --> 00:32:01.720
 do we

00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:02.019
 find

00:32:02.019 --> 00:32:02.240
 this

00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:02.720
 righteousness?

00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:07.019
 let me

00:32:07.019 --> 00:32:07.420
 suggest

00:32:07.420 --> 00:32:07.839
 to you

00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:09.380
 that the

00:32:09.380 --> 00:32:09.740
 one who

00:32:09.740 --> 00:32:10.400
 speaks

00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:11.339
 these

00:32:11.339 --> 00:32:11.940
 words

00:32:11.940 --> 00:32:15.140
 speaks

00:32:15.140 --> 00:32:15.759
 the truth

00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:16.160
 of the

00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:16.600
 exactness

00:32:16.600 --> 00:32:17.100
 of God's

00:32:17.100 --> 00:32:17.460
 law

00:32:17.460 --> 00:32:21.120
 so that

00:32:21.120 --> 00:32:23.059
 hearers

00:32:23.059 --> 00:32:23.660
 might see

00:32:23.660 --> 00:32:24.000
 that it

00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:24.319
 is only

00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:24.779
 he

00:32:24.779 --> 00:32:26.700
 who can

00:32:26.700 --> 00:32:28.019
 completely

00:32:28.019 --> 00:32:28.799
 fulfill it.

00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:30.079
 unless

00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:30.680
 I,

00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:31.339
 Jesus

00:32:31.339 --> 00:32:32.399
 as it

00:32:32.399 --> 00:32:32.599
 were,

00:32:32.700 --> 00:32:32.799
 is

00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:33.039
 saying,

00:32:33.159 --> 00:32:33.359
 unless

00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:33.980
 I

00:32:33.980 --> 00:32:34.299
 am

00:32:34.299 --> 00:32:34.480
 your

00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:35.039
 righteousness,

00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:35.859
 you're

00:32:35.859 --> 00:32:36.220
 doomed

00:32:36.220 --> 00:32:36.759
 because

00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:36.899
 of

00:32:36.899 --> 00:32:37.039
 your

00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:37.419
 sin,

00:32:38.180 --> 00:32:38.720
 you

00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:38.899
 will

00:32:38.899 --> 00:32:39.359
 never

00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:40.000
 enter

00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:40.659
 the

00:32:40.659 --> 00:32:40.899
 kingdom

00:32:40.899 --> 00:32:41.159
 of

00:32:41.159 --> 00:32:41.480
 heaven.

00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:43.039
 But

00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:43.139
 the

00:32:43.139 --> 00:32:43.299
 good

00:32:43.299 --> 00:32:43.740
 news

00:32:43.740 --> 00:32:44.359
 for you

00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:44.519
 and

00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:45.000
 for me

00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:46.319
 is

00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:46.480
 that

00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:46.619
 he

00:32:46.619 --> 00:32:46.899
 has

00:32:46.899 --> 00:32:47.159
 done

00:32:47.159 --> 00:32:47.440
 it.

00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:52.319
 You

00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:52.460
 see,

00:32:52.539 --> 00:32:52.680
 in the

00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:52.980
 final

00:32:52.980 --> 00:32:53.639
 analysis,

00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:55.460
 God

00:32:55.460 --> 00:32:55.680
 will

00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:56.099
 judge

00:32:56.099 --> 00:32:56.440
 each

00:32:56.440 --> 00:32:57.000
 person

00:32:57.000 --> 00:32:58.579
 by

00:32:58.579 --> 00:32:59.059
 works.

00:33:01.379 --> 00:33:02.039
 The

00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:02.339
 question

00:33:02.339 --> 00:33:02.599
 is,

00:33:02.659 --> 00:33:02.839
 whose

00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:03.339
 works

00:33:03.339 --> 00:33:03.579
 are

00:33:03.579 --> 00:33:03.759
 you

00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:04.159
 relying

00:33:04.159 --> 00:33:04.559
 on?

00:33:05.980 --> 00:33:06.679
 On

00:33:06.679 --> 00:33:07.000
 your

00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:07.980
 own

00:33:07.980 --> 00:33:08.439
 best

00:33:08.439 --> 00:33:09.019
 efforts

00:33:09.019 --> 00:33:09.939
 for

00:33:09.939 --> 00:33:10.720
 Christ's?

00:33:11.819 --> 00:33:12.119
 When

00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:12.259
 the

00:33:12.259 --> 00:33:12.639
 supreme

00:33:12.639 --> 00:33:13.220
 judge

00:33:13.220 --> 00:33:13.579
 and

00:33:13.579 --> 00:33:14.039
 almighty

00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:14.599
 maker

00:33:14.599 --> 00:33:14.899
 of

00:33:14.899 --> 00:33:15.179
 all

00:33:15.179 --> 00:33:15.339
 of

00:33:15.339 --> 00:33:15.879
 reality

00:33:15.879 --> 00:33:16.679
 asks

00:33:16.679 --> 00:33:17.159
 you,

00:33:18.579 --> 00:33:19.980
 what

00:33:19.980 --> 00:33:20.639
 or

00:33:20.639 --> 00:33:21.099
 where

00:33:21.099 --> 00:33:21.819
 is

00:33:21.819 --> 00:33:22.039
 your

00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:22.539
 righteousness?

00:33:23.879 --> 00:33:24.460
 How

00:33:24.460 --> 00:33:24.599
 will

00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:24.779
 you

00:33:24.779 --> 00:33:25.319
 respond?

00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:28.259
 May

00:33:28.259 --> 00:33:28.799
 it be

00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:29.700
 that you

00:33:29.700 --> 00:33:30.440
 find rest

00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:30.779
 in the

00:33:30.779 --> 00:33:31.059
 perfect

00:33:31.059 --> 00:33:31.660
 righteousness

00:33:31.660 --> 00:33:32.660
 of

00:33:32.660 --> 00:33:34.460
 Christ

00:33:34.460 --> 00:33:35.400
 alone.

 No

00:33:45.140 --> 00:33:45.539

00:33:45.539 --> 00:33:46.240
 can

00:33:48.859 --> 00:33:49.079
 My

00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:51.819
 My

00:33:51.819 --> 00:33:52.099
 debt

00:33:52.099 --> 00:33:52.359

00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:52.879
 paid

00:33:52.879 --> 00:33:54.460
 by

00:33:54.460 --> 00:33:54.799
 Jesus'

00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:55.299
 death.

00:33:58.159 --> 00:33:58.539
 Him

00:33:58.539 --> 00:33:59.659

00:34:03.099 --> 00:34:03.319
 Let

00:34:03.759 --> 00:34:33.739
 Thank you.
