00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:05.639
 We're going to look at Acts chapter 3, mostly the last part of it.

00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:11.019
 And so if you could have your Bibles open to Acts chapter 3, that would be a great help to you and to me.

00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:16.859
 Different contexts make us behave in different ways, don't they?

00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:20.539
 Different churches have different styles.

00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:27.780
 And this story from Acts chapter 3 takes place after someone has been jumping and leaping in church.

00:00:27.780 --> 00:00:33.340
 And that is not ordinary practice, is it, in any Presbyterian church I've ever been to?

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:35.780
 It begins in verse 11.

00:00:36.660 --> 00:00:43.939
 We find that halfway through the story, there is a beggar who is clinging to the Apostle John and Peter.

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.740
 And this beggar has created quite a stir in the temple courts.

00:00:48.260 --> 00:00:50.420
 Here was a man who was crippled from birth.

00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:56.680
 And each day, this guy would be carried to the temple and he would beg for money.

00:00:57.780 --> 00:01:00.620
 He is the very picture of misery.

00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:06.700
 And one day, about seven or eight weeks after Jesus had been raised from the dead,

00:01:06.780 --> 00:01:10.460
 this guy is sitting at the gate and he got much more than he bargained for.

00:01:11.299 --> 00:01:14.640
 Peter and John come along and Peter says to him,

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:20.579
 I don't have any silver, I don't have any gold, but what I do have, I give to you.

00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:24.939
 In the name of Jesus Christ, rise up and walk.

00:01:25.900 --> 00:01:27.439
 You knew the chorus, I hope.

00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:28.760
 We loved it when I was a little boy.

00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:34.560
 And he went walking and leaping and praising God.

00:01:35.060 --> 00:01:39.519
 He begins to spring around the temple courts and to praise God.

00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:43.280
 And this guy yells right there in the temple courts.

00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:47.739
 And as he clings to Peter and John, I think he's clinging to them.

00:01:48.060 --> 00:01:51.539
 Because if he doesn't hold on to them, he's going to go springing off somewhere else.

00:01:51.759 --> 00:01:53.179
 And the crowd rushes in.

00:01:53.979 --> 00:01:54.840
 They know this man.

00:01:55.699 --> 00:01:57.019
 They've heard the noise.

00:01:57.399 --> 00:01:58.759
 And they see who it is.

00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:04.780
 And some of the people have even thrown change into his little tin as they enter the chapel.

00:02:04.780 --> 00:02:06.920
 But now he is in the temple.

00:02:07.060 --> 00:02:09.120
 But now he is leaping and whooping.

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:15.360
 And so as the crowd begins to gather, Peter begins to preach to them.

00:02:16.180 --> 00:02:18.740
 And he wants to explain to them what is going on.

00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:26.520
 And he says to them that this lovely and stunning miracle is not only a result of the resurrection,

00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:31.979
 but it shows them something of the nature and the reality of the resurrection.

00:02:31.979 --> 00:02:35.340
 He says to the people listening, he says,

00:02:35.419 --> 00:02:39.599
 it wasn't because John and I are particularly pious or powerful.

00:02:40.259 --> 00:02:44.139
 This man was healed by the name of Jesus Christ.

00:02:45.079 --> 00:02:50.899
 Jesus Christ, who was killed a couple of weeks ago, but is very much alive and active.

00:02:52.339 --> 00:02:57.780
 And now, in fact, this healing, he says, gives you a picture of what the resurrection does.

00:02:57.780 --> 00:03:02.819
 And so it's very, very important for us on this unusual Easter day,

00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:09.340
 because the resurrection of Jesus Christ was not a one-off event way back in history.

00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:13.939
 The resurrection of the Lord Jesus is not a curious oddity.

00:03:15.099 --> 00:03:16.400
 It's not a freak.

00:03:17.420 --> 00:03:24.000
 Nor is the resurrection a happy ending, a lucky occurrence for Jesus.

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:25.919
 It is the beginning of something.

00:03:26.659 --> 00:03:31.199
 It is the beginning of something that opens the door that concerns every single one of us.

00:03:32.139 --> 00:03:35.560
 And if you take the Bible and you read it from the beginning to the end,

00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:37.539
 and I hope you will, I really hope you would,

00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:41.699
 you'll find that God promises from the first pages of the Bible

00:03:41.699 --> 00:03:46.900
 that there will come a day when he will restore and renew,

00:03:46.900 --> 00:03:49.080
 and God will heal this world.

00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:54.520
 And he will bring complete health and healing, both spiritually and physically,

00:03:54.920 --> 00:03:58.020
 both personally for his people and cosmically,

00:03:58.020 --> 00:04:02.400
 to the whole world, to all those who follow his Son.

00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:07.280
 And this miracle is a preview of that healing.

00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:10.180
 And so I just want to give you two words,

00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.099
 two words this morning,

00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:16.720
 that describe the effect of the miracle,

00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:21.160
 or the effect of the resurrection for us.

00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:23.160
 One is in the future,

00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:25.279
 and one is in the present.

00:04:26.620 --> 00:04:28.620
 So the first word is restoration.

00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:30.819
 Can you look down at verse 21?

00:04:30.980 --> 00:04:33.040
 And this is in the future.

00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:37.540
 Verse 21 of Acts chapter 3.

00:04:38.760 --> 00:04:41.180
 He was raised from the dead.

00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:43.640
 He is in heaven now,

00:04:43.760 --> 00:04:45.939
 and he must remain in heaven,

00:04:46.460 --> 00:04:47.180
 verse 21,

00:04:47.660 --> 00:04:49.879
 until the time comes

00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:52.439
 for the restoring of all things.

00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:57.700
 Until the time comes,

00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:58.580
 Jesus is in heaven.

00:04:58.980 --> 00:05:00.020
 Jesus is in heaven.

00:05:00.019 --> 00:05:04.099
 Until that time when God will restore everything he's promised

00:05:04.099 --> 00:05:05.539
 through his holy prophets.

00:05:06.859 --> 00:05:08.819
 The restoration of this man,

00:05:09.099 --> 00:05:09.799
 in Acts 3,

00:05:10.939 --> 00:05:14.339
 points to the time when God will restore everything.

00:05:16.019 --> 00:05:19.199
 And that is why it is a very Jesus-like miracle, isn't it?

00:05:19.859 --> 00:05:20.620
 Did you notice that?

00:05:21.500 --> 00:05:22.759
 The guy was lame,

00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:24.939
 lame from birth.

00:05:24.939 --> 00:05:26.680
 His feet,

00:05:27.459 --> 00:05:28.319
 his ankles,

00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:30.579
 his calf muscles,

00:05:31.379 --> 00:05:32.680
 his thigh muscles,

00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:35.060
 had never, ever been used.

00:05:36.339 --> 00:05:38.759
 And it is beyond human capacity to fix.

00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:41.060
 It needs, doesn't it,

00:05:41.180 --> 00:05:42.600
 God the creator.

00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:44.699
 And the miracle

00:05:44.699 --> 00:05:47.439
 that the risen Jesus,

00:05:47.779 --> 00:05:49.779
 the name of the risen Jesus,

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.019
 that miracle brings instantaneous,

00:05:53.579 --> 00:05:54.420
 complete healing.

00:05:55.779 --> 00:05:58.000
 And it is done as a demonstration

00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:59.779
 that the resurrection

00:05:59.779 --> 00:06:01.519
 has started something.

00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:03.560
 And you know,

00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:04.839
 I hope that the person who wrote

00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:05.839
 the book of Acts

00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:07.420
 was a medical doctor.

00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:08.439
 He was Dr. Luke.

00:06:09.339 --> 00:06:12.339
 And he uses no fewer than five medical terms

00:06:12.339 --> 00:06:14.240
 to describe this complete healing.

00:06:14.620 --> 00:06:15.519
 The man gets up.

00:06:16.659 --> 00:06:17.939
 He doesn't stumble around.

00:06:18.980 --> 00:06:20.759
 He doesn't need a walking frame.

00:06:20.860 --> 00:06:22.220
 He does not need six months

00:06:22.220 --> 00:06:23.379
 of physiotherapy.

00:06:23.379 --> 00:06:24.480
 He runs.

00:06:25.620 --> 00:06:26.639
 And he praises God.

00:06:28.100 --> 00:06:28.939
 And that is exactly

00:06:28.939 --> 00:06:29.959
 what the prophet Isaiah,

00:06:30.100 --> 00:06:31.819
 700 years before Jesus,

00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:34.279
 prophesied about this great day

00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:34.939
 of restoration.

00:06:36.219 --> 00:06:36.540
 He says,

00:06:36.540 --> 00:06:38.120
 then the eyes of the blind

00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:38.800
 will be opened.

00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:40.680
 The ears of the deaf

00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:41.879
 will be unstopped.

00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:43.180
 They will leap

00:06:43.180 --> 00:06:44.220
 like a deer,

00:06:44.340 --> 00:06:44.840
 the lame.

00:06:45.640 --> 00:06:46.580
 And the moot tongue

00:06:46.580 --> 00:06:47.500
 will shout for joy.

00:06:48.620 --> 00:06:50.240
 Waters will gush forth

00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:50.900
 in the wilderness

00:06:50.900 --> 00:06:51.600
 and streams

00:06:52.140 --> 00:06:53.400
 of the desert.

00:06:53.740 --> 00:06:54.740
 And this miracle,

00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.060
 the healing of this guy,

00:06:57.259 --> 00:06:58.120
 is a sign

00:06:58.120 --> 00:06:59.340
 that God

00:06:59.340 --> 00:07:01.439
 has already begun

00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:02.439
 the restoration

00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:03.439
 in the resurrection.

00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:05.920
 The fixing of

00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:06.779
 those ankles

00:07:06.779 --> 00:07:08.600
 and those feet,

00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:09.379
 the strengthening

00:07:09.379 --> 00:07:10.459
 of those muscles

00:07:10.459 --> 00:07:11.600
 in that man's leg

00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:12.459
 is a preview

00:07:12.459 --> 00:07:13.399
 of the renewing

00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:14.420
 of the whole creation.

00:07:15.860 --> 00:07:16.680
 When even

00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:17.740
 our bodies

00:07:17.740 --> 00:07:19.699
 will be saved

00:07:19.699 --> 00:07:20.360
 by the work

00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:21.040
 of the resurrection.

00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:24.020
 And some of you

00:07:24.020 --> 00:07:24.600
 may feel

00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:25.939
 watching me this morning,

00:07:26.080 --> 00:07:26.740
 this is just

00:07:26.740 --> 00:07:27.819
 very naive.

00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:30.540
 That you've given

00:07:30.540 --> 00:07:31.340
 up hope

00:07:31.340 --> 00:07:31.800
 that God

00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:32.319
 is going to do

00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:33.140
 anything significant

00:07:33.140 --> 00:07:33.780
 in your life.

00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:35.640
 And so you've

00:07:35.640 --> 00:07:36.260
 taken things

00:07:36.260 --> 00:07:37.000
 into your own hands.

00:07:38.379 --> 00:07:39.100
 It's up to us,

00:07:39.200 --> 00:07:39.540
 after all,

00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:40.820
 leave me alone.

00:07:40.900 --> 00:07:41.500
 Isn't it safer

00:07:41.500 --> 00:07:42.840
 to remain lame

00:07:42.840 --> 00:07:43.620
 at the gate

00:07:43.620 --> 00:07:44.180
 and accept

00:07:44.180 --> 00:07:44.939
 my limitations

00:07:44.939 --> 00:07:46.240
 rather than

00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:47.280
 raising my hopes

00:07:47.280 --> 00:07:48.660
 and seeing them dashed?

00:07:48.660 --> 00:07:51.500
 And that is why

00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:52.200
 we have to see

00:07:52.200 --> 00:07:53.180
 that the resurrection

00:07:53.180 --> 00:07:55.500
 of Jesus Christ

00:07:55.500 --> 00:07:56.200
 comes from

00:07:56.200 --> 00:07:56.880
 outside

00:07:56.880 --> 00:07:58.780
 our world.

00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:01.180
 The resurrection

00:08:01.180 --> 00:08:02.240
 is God

00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:03.440
 breaking in

00:08:03.440 --> 00:08:04.520
 with the great

00:08:04.520 --> 00:08:05.140
 restoration.

00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:06.240
 It comes from

00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:07.340
 outside of us,

00:08:07.520 --> 00:08:08.800
 from God.

00:08:10.400 --> 00:08:12.000
 Because every dream

00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:13.520
 of human happiness,

00:08:13.700 --> 00:08:15.000
 every utopian dream

00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:15.680
 that this world

00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:16.540
 has ever had

00:08:16.540 --> 00:08:17.420
 comes from

00:08:17.420 --> 00:08:18.580
 inside this world.

00:08:19.280 --> 00:08:20.180
 It's created

00:08:20.180 --> 00:08:21.260
 by human beings

00:08:21.260 --> 00:08:22.480
 and we all share

00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:23.340
 in this deep

00:08:23.340 --> 00:08:23.920
 corruption

00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:25.100
 in ourselves.

00:08:25.500 --> 00:08:26.300
 And so every

00:08:26.300 --> 00:08:27.560
 utopian dream

00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:29.240
 will only end

00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:29.740
 in despair.

00:08:30.960 --> 00:08:32.040
 It takes

00:08:32.040 --> 00:08:32.700
 what is

00:08:32.700 --> 00:08:33.379
 eternal

00:08:33.379 --> 00:08:35.660
 and incorruptible

00:08:35.660 --> 00:08:36.660
 to break

00:08:36.660 --> 00:08:37.480
 the chains

00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:39.240
 of what is

00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:39.820
 corruptible.

00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:42.080
 And the healing

00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:43.160
 of this man

00:08:43.160 --> 00:08:43.800
 is not just

00:08:43.800 --> 00:08:45.040
 an isolated incident,

00:08:45.180 --> 00:08:46.180
 it is a sample

00:08:46.180 --> 00:08:47.360
 of God's plan

00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:48.419
 to renew

00:08:48.419 --> 00:08:49.620
 and restore

00:08:49.620 --> 00:08:51.180
 through the

00:08:51.180 --> 00:08:51.580
 resurrection

00:08:51.580 --> 00:08:52.360
 from the dead.

00:08:53.800 --> 00:08:54.659
 This incident

00:08:54.659 --> 00:08:55.879
 is a trailer

00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:57.759
 for the movie

00:08:57.759 --> 00:08:58.680
 of the world

00:08:58.680 --> 00:08:59.560
 that is to come.

00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:01.360
 And the word

00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:01.740
 restoration

00:09:01.740 --> 00:09:03.100
 is a medical word

00:09:03.100 --> 00:09:04.000
 that Dr. Luke

00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:04.980
 uses and it

00:09:04.980 --> 00:09:06.300
 describes the full

00:09:06.300 --> 00:09:07.180
 health and the

00:09:07.180 --> 00:09:07.960
 full healing.

00:09:09.100 --> 00:09:09.860
 Because in the

00:09:09.860 --> 00:09:10.720
 healing of this man,

00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:12.800
 we get a small

00:09:12.800 --> 00:09:13.720
 picture of the

00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:14.360
 day when

00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:15.500
 Christ will come

00:09:15.500 --> 00:09:17.180
 and he will

00:09:17.180 --> 00:09:18.160
 restore justice

00:09:18.160 --> 00:09:20.120
 and he will

00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:20.940
 restore truth

00:09:20.940 --> 00:09:21.980
 and harmony

00:09:21.980 --> 00:09:23.720
 and beauty

00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:25.340
 and goodness

00:09:25.340 --> 00:09:26.200
 to creation.

00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:28.620
 And so if you

00:09:28.620 --> 00:09:29.080
 know the Bible

00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:29.379
 at all,

00:09:29.420 --> 00:09:29.840
 you will know

00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:30.300
 that the Bible

00:09:30.300 --> 00:09:31.060
 teaches that the

00:09:31.060 --> 00:09:31.580
 world that we

00:09:31.580 --> 00:09:32.940
 live in is sick.

00:09:33.139 --> 00:09:33.879
 We are sick.

00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:36.379
 Physicists call

00:09:36.379 --> 00:09:36.980
 it entropy,

00:09:37.179 --> 00:09:37.460
 don't they?

00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:39.279
 You know,

00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:40.919
 you buy a house

00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:41.659
 and within a few

00:09:41.659 --> 00:09:42.679
 weeks you've

00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:43.000
 got to make

00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:43.840
 repairs on it.

00:09:45.299 --> 00:09:46.139
 You put seeds

00:09:46.139 --> 00:09:46.659
 in the ground

00:09:46.659 --> 00:09:47.419
 in your garden

00:09:47.419 --> 00:09:48.080
 and a few

00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:48.500
 weeks later

00:09:48.500 --> 00:09:48.939
 you're pulling

00:09:48.939 --> 00:09:49.539
 weeds out.

00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:51.740
 You live until

00:09:51.740 --> 00:09:53.360
 43 and things

00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:53.879
 start falling

00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:54.320
 apart.

00:09:56.139 --> 00:09:56.860
 The world

00:09:56.860 --> 00:09:57.279
 is not the

00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:58.500
 way that God

00:09:58.500 --> 00:09:58.940
 made it.

00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:01.539
 And we sense

00:10:01.539 --> 00:10:02.139
 this, don't we?

00:10:02.139 --> 00:10:04.100
 And our world

00:10:04.100 --> 00:10:04.860
 is experiencing

00:10:04.860 --> 00:10:05.799
 this at the

00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:06.480
 moment and

00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:07.480
 COVID-19 is

00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:08.259
 teaching our

00:10:08.259 --> 00:10:08.840
 world this.

00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:11.179
 Our world is

00:10:11.179 --> 00:10:12.360
 not as it was

00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:12.860
 meant to be.

00:10:14.439 --> 00:10:15.399
 We've experienced

00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:16.299
 death in the

00:10:16.299 --> 00:10:17.080
 past couple of

00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.259
 weeks and

00:10:19.259 --> 00:10:19.759
 there's something

00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:20.559
 inside us which

00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:21.340
 tells us this is

00:10:21.340 --> 00:10:21.980
 not right.

00:10:22.620 --> 00:10:23.279
 This is not how

00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:23.899
 it should be.

00:10:25.620 --> 00:10:26.299
 We know,

00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:26.539
 don't we,

00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:27.220
 there is a deep

00:10:27.220 --> 00:10:27.819
 and profound

00:10:27.819 --> 00:10:28.799
 disappointment in

00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:29.559
 ourselves,

00:10:31.019 --> 00:10:31.319
 in our

00:10:31.319 --> 00:10:31.759
 families,

00:10:32.139 --> 00:10:33.879
 the disharmony

00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:34.500
 in our world

00:10:34.500 --> 00:10:35.399
 that we create,

00:10:35.500 --> 00:10:36.379
 the futility

00:10:36.379 --> 00:10:37.480
 and the

00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:38.279
 senselessness

00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:38.620
 and the

00:10:38.620 --> 00:10:39.539
 Bible is

00:10:39.539 --> 00:10:40.240
 very, very

00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:41.039
 realistic about

00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:41.740
 this futility

00:10:41.740 --> 00:10:43.199
 and this

00:10:43.199 --> 00:10:44.139
 vanity and

00:10:44.139 --> 00:10:45.159
 this disharmony

00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:46.819
 and says

00:10:46.819 --> 00:10:47.419
 there is a

00:10:47.419 --> 00:10:48.120
 virus of

00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:48.699
 decay

00:10:48.699 --> 00:10:50.620
 and futility

00:10:50.620 --> 00:10:51.539
 that all of

00:10:51.539 --> 00:10:52.580
 us share

00:10:52.580 --> 00:10:53.600
 together and

00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:54.500
 at its root

00:10:54.500 --> 00:10:55.279
 is a spiritual

00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:55.740
 issue.

00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:57.519
 And it

00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:58.539
 comes from

00:10:58.539 --> 00:10:59.819
 and is

00:10:59.819 --> 00:11:00.779
 caused by

00:11:00.779 --> 00:11:01.679
 our rejection

00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:02.799
 of God.

00:11:04.019 --> 00:11:04.980
 We have a

00:11:04.980 --> 00:11:05.699
 dislocation,

00:11:05.899 --> 00:11:06.439
 we have a

00:11:06.439 --> 00:11:07.220
 rupture in

00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:07.899
 our relationship

00:11:07.899 --> 00:11:08.519
 with God

00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:08.939
 because of

00:11:08.939 --> 00:11:09.399
 our rebellion

00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:10.039
 against him.

00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:11.959
 But the

00:11:11.959 --> 00:11:12.279
 Bible,

00:11:12.459 --> 00:11:13.259
 the lovely

00:11:13.259 --> 00:11:14.519
 story of the

00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:15.159
 Bible goes

00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:16.279
 and it shows

00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:17.100
 that Jesus

00:11:17.100 --> 00:11:17.740
 is going to

00:11:17.740 --> 00:11:18.500
 establish

00:11:18.500 --> 00:11:19.819
 and God

00:11:19.819 --> 00:11:20.339
 is going to

00:11:20.339 --> 00:11:21.360
 establish all

00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:22.059
 the purposes

00:11:22.059 --> 00:11:22.620
 of his

00:11:22.620 --> 00:11:23.139
 blessing

00:11:23.139 --> 00:11:24.579
 and there'll

00:11:24.579 --> 00:11:25.319
 be complete

00:11:25.319 --> 00:11:26.579
 and spiritual

00:11:26.580 --> 00:11:28.020
 and physical

00:11:28.020 --> 00:11:28.600
 renewal

00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:29.920
 at the end

00:11:29.920 --> 00:11:30.360
 of the day.

00:11:30.460 --> 00:11:31.120
 A day is

00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:31.420
 coming

00:11:31.420 --> 00:11:33.580
 when God

00:11:33.580 --> 00:11:34.120
 will remove

00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:34.700
 all evil

00:11:34.700 --> 00:11:36.639
 and all

00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:37.580
 disobedience

00:11:37.580 --> 00:11:39.220
 and he

00:11:39.220 --> 00:11:40.379
 will reverse

00:11:40.379 --> 00:11:41.620
 the ravages

00:11:41.620 --> 00:11:42.139
 of our

00:11:42.139 --> 00:11:42.620
 rebellion

00:11:42.620 --> 00:11:43.480
 against him

00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:44.040
 and he

00:11:44.040 --> 00:11:44.500
 will take

00:11:44.500 --> 00:11:45.200
 away all

00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:45.820
 frustration

00:11:45.820 --> 00:11:47.420
 and injustice.

00:11:49.160 --> 00:11:49.980
 He will

00:11:49.980 --> 00:11:50.520
 take away

00:11:50.520 --> 00:11:51.500
 all sickness

00:11:51.500 --> 00:11:53.020
 and all

00:11:53.020 --> 00:11:53.400
 death

00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:55.199
 and he

00:11:55.199 --> 00:11:55.899
 has promised

00:11:55.899 --> 00:11:56.840
 a creation

00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:57.220
 that is

00:11:57.220 --> 00:11:57.879
 marked by

00:11:57.879 --> 00:11:58.600
 glory

00:11:58.600 --> 00:11:59.779
 and not

00:11:59.779 --> 00:12:00.539
 by corruption,

00:12:01.500 --> 00:12:02.500
 by righteousness

00:12:02.500 --> 00:12:04.079
 and not

00:12:04.079 --> 00:12:04.559
 rebellion,

00:12:04.939 --> 00:12:05.679
 by peace

00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:06.279
 and not

00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:06.959
 futility.

00:12:08.179 --> 00:12:08.559
 And how

00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:09.079
 do we know

00:12:09.079 --> 00:12:09.539
 that God

00:12:09.539 --> 00:12:09.819
 is going

00:12:09.819 --> 00:12:10.039
 to do

00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:10.459
 this?

00:12:11.319 --> 00:12:11.720
 How do

00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:11.980
 we know

00:12:11.980 --> 00:12:12.399
 that God

00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:12.620
 is going

00:12:12.620 --> 00:12:12.919
 to pull

00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:13.299
 this off?

00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:13.840
 Because we've

00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:14.360
 seen it

00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:14.799
 in the

00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:15.340
 resurrection

00:12:15.340 --> 00:12:17.980
 where God

00:12:17.980 --> 00:12:19.399
 breaks the

00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:19.980
 chains

00:12:19.980 --> 00:12:21.639
 of death

00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:23.840
 and God

00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:24.279
 begins

00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:24.840
 something

00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:25.500
 entirely

00:12:25.500 --> 00:12:25.919
 new.

00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:28.159
 And that

00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:28.419
 is why

00:12:28.419 --> 00:12:28.639
 this

00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:29.039
 restoration

00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:29.860
 can only

00:12:29.860 --> 00:12:30.240
 come

00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:30.480
 through

00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:30.779
 Jesus

00:12:30.779 --> 00:12:31.240
 Christ.

00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:33.779
 It's

00:12:33.779 --> 00:12:33.939
 very

00:12:33.939 --> 00:12:34.279
 interesting,

00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:34.679
 isn't it?

00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:35.620
 How Peter

00:12:35.620 --> 00:12:36.480
 turns and

00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:37.000
 he points

00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:37.299
 to the

00:12:37.299 --> 00:12:37.679
 crowd

00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:39.259
 and he

00:12:39.259 --> 00:12:39.779
 involves

00:12:39.779 --> 00:12:40.039
 them

00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:40.679
 personally

00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:41.639
 and you

00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:41.919
 can be

00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:42.199
 thankful

00:12:42.199 --> 00:12:42.559
 that your

00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:42.899
 preachers

00:12:42.899 --> 00:12:43.100
 are not

00:12:43.100 --> 00:12:43.819
 so direct.

00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:44.500
 Look at

00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:44.699
 what he

00:12:44.699 --> 00:12:45.179
 says in

00:12:45.179 --> 00:12:46.360
 verse 13

00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:47.220
 to 15

00:12:47.220 --> 00:12:47.600
 of Acts

00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:47.740
 3.

00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:48.019
 Do look

00:12:48.019 --> 00:12:48.360
 down.

00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:52.000
 Now this

00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:52.659
 is the

00:12:52.659 --> 00:12:53.340
 crowd

00:12:53.340 --> 00:12:54.159
 who a

00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:54.480
 couple of

00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:54.659
 weeks

00:12:54.659 --> 00:12:55.120
 before

00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:56.059
 had cried

00:12:56.059 --> 00:12:56.480
 out for

00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:56.679
 his

00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:57.360
 crucifixion.

00:12:57.659 --> 00:12:58.159
 He says

00:12:58.159 --> 00:12:58.919
 in verse

00:12:58.919 --> 00:12:59.580
 13

00:12:59.580 --> 00:13:00.899
 he says

00:13:00.899 --> 00:13:01.220
 the God

00:13:01.220 --> 00:13:01.600
 of Abraham

00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:01.899
 and the

00:13:01.899 --> 00:13:02.179
 God of

00:13:02.179 --> 00:13:02.460
 Isaac

00:13:02.460 --> 00:13:02.740
 and the

00:13:02.740 --> 00:13:03.019
 God of

00:13:03.019 --> 00:13:03.340
 Jacob

00:13:03.340 --> 00:13:03.659
 and the

00:13:03.659 --> 00:13:03.799
 God

00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:04.080
 of our

00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:04.539
 fathers

00:13:04.539 --> 00:13:05.439
 glorified

00:13:05.439 --> 00:13:05.659
 his

00:13:05.659 --> 00:13:05.960
 servant

00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:06.340
 Jesus

00:13:06.340 --> 00:13:06.980
 whom

00:13:06.980 --> 00:13:07.480
 you

00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:07.980
 delivered

00:13:07.980 --> 00:13:08.360
 over

00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:10.500
 and denied

00:13:10.500 --> 00:13:10.779
 in the

00:13:10.779 --> 00:13:11.139
 presence

00:13:11.139 --> 00:13:11.759
 of Pilate

00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:13.019
 when he

00:13:13.019 --> 00:13:13.639
 decided to

00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:14.139
 release him

00:13:14.139 --> 00:13:15.159
 but you

00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:15.819
 denied

00:13:15.819 --> 00:13:16.480
 the holy

00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:17.019
 and righteous

00:13:17.019 --> 00:13:17.319
 one

00:13:17.319 --> 00:13:19.500
 and you

00:13:19.500 --> 00:13:20.059
 asked for

00:13:20.059 --> 00:13:20.659
 a murderer

00:13:20.659 --> 00:13:21.100
 to be

00:13:21.100 --> 00:13:21.419
 granted

00:13:21.419 --> 00:13:22.159
 to you.

00:13:24.959 --> 00:13:25.719
 He says

00:13:25.719 --> 00:13:25.939
 you didn't

00:13:25.939 --> 00:13:26.459
 just deny

00:13:26.459 --> 00:13:26.860
 Jesus

00:13:26.860 --> 00:13:29.079
 you traded

00:13:29.079 --> 00:13:29.819
 his life

00:13:29.819 --> 00:13:30.120
 for a

00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:30.500
 murderer's

00:13:30.500 --> 00:13:30.799
 life

00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:32.539
 and more

00:13:32.539 --> 00:13:32.860
 than that

00:13:32.860 --> 00:13:33.139
 can you

00:13:33.139 --> 00:13:33.419
 see

00:13:33.419 --> 00:13:35.240
 you killed

00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:36.599
 verse 15

00:13:36.599 --> 00:13:37.659
 the author

00:13:37.659 --> 00:13:38.219
 of life

00:13:38.219 --> 00:13:41.399
 on a

00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:41.959
 scale of

00:13:41.959 --> 00:13:42.659
 1 to

00:13:42.659 --> 00:13:43.099
 10

00:13:43.099 --> 00:13:44.159
 for oxymorons

00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:44.759
 that is

00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:45.139
 100

00:13:45.139 --> 00:13:45.579
 isn't it?

00:13:46.579 --> 00:13:47.259
 The author

00:13:47.259 --> 00:13:47.860
 of life

00:13:47.860 --> 00:13:49.019
 cannot be

00:13:49.019 --> 00:13:49.439
 killed

00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:51.360
 but in

00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:51.600
 some

00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:51.940
 fashion

00:13:51.940 --> 00:13:52.460
 the Lord

00:13:52.460 --> 00:13:52.680
 Jesus

00:13:52.680 --> 00:13:53.080
 Christ

00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:54.880
 who is

00:13:54.880 --> 00:13:55.520
 the source

00:13:55.520 --> 00:13:56.040
 of life

00:13:56.040 --> 00:13:57.820
 who is

00:13:57.820 --> 00:13:58.380
 the cause

00:13:58.380 --> 00:13:58.760
 of life

00:13:58.760 --> 00:13:59.120
 who is

00:13:59.120 --> 00:13:59.840
 the resurrection

00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:00.780
 and the life

00:14:00.780 --> 00:14:01.740
 submitted himself

00:14:01.740 --> 00:14:02.640
 to death

00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:02.699
 death

00:14:02.699 --> 00:14:06.080
 but in

00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:06.679
 raising

00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:07.240
 Jesus

00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:07.779
 from the

00:14:07.779 --> 00:14:08.100
 dead

00:14:08.100 --> 00:14:08.559
 God

00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:08.879
 has

00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:09.679
 overcome

00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:10.299
 death

00:14:10.299 --> 00:14:12.679
 and he

00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:13.159
 signals

00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:13.939
 in that

00:14:13.939 --> 00:14:14.539
 resurrection

00:14:14.539 --> 00:14:16.199
 the final

00:14:16.199 --> 00:14:16.960
 restoration

00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:18.439
 that he

00:14:18.439 --> 00:14:18.740
 is going

00:14:18.740 --> 00:14:19.279
 to bring

00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:19.980
 at the

00:14:19.980 --> 00:14:20.399
 end of

00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:20.819
 time

00:14:20.819 --> 00:14:22.379
 glorious

00:14:22.379 --> 00:14:23.860
 and wonderful

00:14:23.860 --> 00:14:24.419
 restoration

00:14:24.419 --> 00:14:26.199
 that's

00:14:26.199 --> 00:14:26.339
 our

00:14:26.339 --> 00:14:26.699
 first

00:14:26.699 --> 00:14:27.139
 word

00:14:27.139 --> 00:14:28.939
 the

00:14:28.939 --> 00:14:29.259
 first

00:14:29.259 --> 00:14:29.659
 word

00:14:29.659 --> 00:14:29.919
 about

00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:30.079
 the

00:14:30.079 --> 00:14:30.539
 resurrection

00:14:30.539 --> 00:14:31.219
 of

00:14:31.219 --> 00:14:31.579
 Jesus

00:14:31.579 --> 00:14:34.059
 it's

00:14:34.059 --> 00:14:34.219
 not

00:14:34.219 --> 00:14:34.559
 just

00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:34.860
 about

00:14:34.860 --> 00:14:35.339
 Jesus

00:14:35.339 --> 00:14:36.299
 it's

00:14:36.299 --> 00:14:36.579
 that he's

00:14:36.579 --> 00:14:36.899
 begun

00:14:36.899 --> 00:14:37.419
 the full

00:14:37.419 --> 00:14:38.019
 restoration

00:14:38.019 --> 00:14:38.939
 of all

00:14:38.939 --> 00:14:39.259
 things

00:14:39.259 --> 00:14:39.539
 that he

00:14:39.539 --> 00:14:39.919
 will come

00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:40.159
 in the

00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:40.439
 future

00:14:40.439 --> 00:14:42.079
 well then

00:14:42.079 --> 00:14:42.539
 what does

00:14:42.539 --> 00:14:42.819
 the

00:14:42.819 --> 00:14:43.199
 resurrection

00:14:43.199 --> 00:14:43.599
 mean to

00:14:43.599 --> 00:14:43.719
 us

00:14:43.719 --> 00:14:44.240
 right now

00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:45.659
 and here

00:14:45.659 --> 00:14:46.059
 Peter gives

00:14:46.059 --> 00:14:46.399
 us our

00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:46.639
 second

00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:46.899
 word

00:14:46.899 --> 00:14:48.120
 and it

00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:48.439
 is the

00:14:48.439 --> 00:14:48.839
 word

00:14:48.839 --> 00:14:49.519
 refreshing

00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:49.779
 can you

00:14:49.779 --> 00:14:49.980
 see that

00:14:49.980 --> 00:14:50.259
 down in

00:14:50.259 --> 00:14:50.939
 verse 19

00:14:50.939 --> 00:14:52.120
 look at

00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:52.759
 verse 19

00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:54.039
 repent

00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:54.480
 therefore

00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:55.139
 and turn

00:14:55.139 --> 00:14:55.480
 back

00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:56.299
 that your

00:14:56.299 --> 00:14:57.059
 sins

00:14:57.059 --> 00:14:57.779
 may be

00:14:57.779 --> 00:14:58.279
 blotted

00:14:58.279 --> 00:14:58.659
 out

00:14:58.659 --> 00:15:00.159
 that

00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:00.819
 times

00:15:00.819 --> 00:15:01.340
 of

00:15:01.340 --> 00:15:02.000
 refreshing

00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:03.840
 may come

00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:04.240
 from the

00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:04.620
 presence

00:15:04.620 --> 00:15:05.000
 of the

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:05.299
 Lord

00:15:05.299 --> 00:15:07.700
 literally

00:15:07.700 --> 00:15:08.299
 times of

00:15:08.299 --> 00:15:08.600
 refreshing

00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:08.939
 that will

00:15:08.939 --> 00:15:09.299
 come from

00:15:09.299 --> 00:15:10.019
 the face

00:15:10.019 --> 00:15:10.879
 of the

00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:11.039
 Lord

00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:11.580
 from

00:15:11.580 --> 00:15:12.460
 the

00:15:12.460 --> 00:15:12.919
 presence

00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:13.460
 of the

00:15:13.460 --> 00:15:13.799
 Lord

00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:15.639
 the word

00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:16.000
 means

00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:16.840
 rest

00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:18.319
 or relief

00:15:18.319 --> 00:15:19.679
 or respite

00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:20.580
 or refreshment

00:15:20.580 --> 00:15:21.519
 and one of the

00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:22.139
 reasons that the

00:15:22.139 --> 00:15:22.659
 resurrection

00:15:22.659 --> 00:15:23.699
 makes us so

00:15:23.699 --> 00:15:24.199
 happy

00:15:24.199 --> 00:15:25.719
 and Christians

00:15:25.719 --> 00:15:26.379
 so happy

00:15:26.379 --> 00:15:26.860
 it's not that

00:15:26.860 --> 00:15:27.939
 it's pie in

00:15:27.939 --> 00:15:28.360
 the sky

00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:28.719
 when you

00:15:28.719 --> 00:15:29.219
 die

00:15:29.219 --> 00:15:29.719
 by and

00:15:29.719 --> 00:15:30.000
 by

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:32.240
 if the

00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:32.799
 resurrection

00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:34.079
 was just

00:15:34.079 --> 00:15:34.539
 future

00:15:34.539 --> 00:15:35.480
 it would be

00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:35.899
 enough

00:15:35.899 --> 00:15:36.419
 wouldn't it

00:15:36.419 --> 00:15:37.279
 it would be

00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:37.819
 enough because

00:15:37.819 --> 00:15:38.219
 it would

00:15:38.219 --> 00:15:39.219
 ravish our

00:15:39.219 --> 00:15:39.839
 future hopes

00:15:39.839 --> 00:15:40.240
 but it's

00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:40.779
 more than

00:15:40.779 --> 00:15:41.480
 just future

00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:44.419
 that Peter

00:15:44.419 --> 00:15:44.779
 is saying

00:15:44.779 --> 00:15:45.379
 that if we

00:15:45.379 --> 00:15:46.219
 repent

00:15:46.219 --> 00:15:47.439
 and we

00:15:47.439 --> 00:15:48.159
 turn to

00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:48.600
 God

00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:49.240
 if we

00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:49.819
 believe in

00:15:49.819 --> 00:15:50.339
 our hearts

00:15:50.339 --> 00:15:50.860
 that God

00:15:50.860 --> 00:15:51.639
 has raised

00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:52.059
 him from

00:15:52.059 --> 00:15:52.639
 the dead

00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:53.259
 God

00:15:53.259 --> 00:15:53.779
 gives us

00:15:53.779 --> 00:15:54.219
 the new

00:15:54.219 --> 00:15:54.599
 life

00:15:54.599 --> 00:15:55.199
 now

00:15:55.199 --> 00:15:57.139
 God

00:15:57.139 --> 00:15:57.559
 gives us

00:15:57.559 --> 00:15:58.079
 the resurrection

00:15:58.079 --> 00:15:58.739
 life

00:15:58.739 --> 00:15:59.379
 now

00:15:59.379 --> 00:16:01.179
 that we

00:16:01.179 --> 00:16:01.939
 are brought

00:16:01.939 --> 00:16:02.879
 into his

00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:03.319
 presence

00:16:03.319 --> 00:16:03.979
 before his

00:16:03.979 --> 00:16:04.319
 face

00:16:04.319 --> 00:16:04.879
 now

00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:06.579
 and we

00:16:06.579 --> 00:16:07.099
 receive

00:16:07.099 --> 00:16:07.759
 times

00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:08.959
 of refreshing

00:16:08.959 --> 00:16:09.919
 from his

00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:10.359
 presence

00:16:10.359 --> 00:16:10.719
 now

00:16:10.719 --> 00:16:11.319
 and you

00:16:11.319 --> 00:16:11.639
 won't be

00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:12.099
 surprised

00:16:12.099 --> 00:16:12.439
 to know

00:16:12.439 --> 00:16:13.139
 that this

00:16:13.139 --> 00:16:13.799
 word is a

00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:14.399
 medical word

00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:15.079
 from Dr. Luke

00:16:15.079 --> 00:16:16.899
 the refreshing

00:16:16.899 --> 00:16:17.479
 word

00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:18.639
 it is used

00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:19.399
 for blowing

00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:21.000
 cool air

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:21.940
 on a wound

00:16:21.940 --> 00:16:24.840
 the healing

00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:26.220
 cool air

00:16:26.220 --> 00:16:27.379
 on a wound

00:16:27.379 --> 00:16:28.860
 which would

00:16:28.860 --> 00:16:29.779
 bring complete

00:16:29.779 --> 00:16:30.259
 healing

00:16:30.259 --> 00:16:32.060
 and then the

00:16:32.060 --> 00:16:32.620
 word came to

00:16:32.620 --> 00:16:33.420
 me not just

00:16:33.420 --> 00:16:34.360
 physical healing

00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:35.560
 but relief

00:16:35.560 --> 00:16:37.560
 spiritual

00:16:37.560 --> 00:16:38.840
 and emotional

00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:40.600
 and psychological

00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:41.340
 relief

00:16:41.340 --> 00:16:43.120
 came to stand

00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:43.700
 for those who

00:16:43.700 --> 00:16:44.740
 lost hope

00:16:44.740 --> 00:16:45.620
 and had lost

00:16:45.620 --> 00:16:46.240
 strength

00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:48.440
 and need

00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:49.720
 fresh relief

00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:51.820
 speaks of

00:16:51.820 --> 00:16:52.220
 people who

00:16:52.220 --> 00:16:52.799
 have come to

00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:53.240
 an end of

00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:53.680
 themselves

00:16:53.680 --> 00:16:55.419
 and people

00:16:55.419 --> 00:16:55.879
 who need

00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:56.580
 rest

00:16:56.580 --> 00:16:58.460
 and Peter

00:16:58.460 --> 00:16:58.940
 is saying

00:16:58.940 --> 00:17:00.480
 that in the

00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:01.019
 resurrection

00:17:01.019 --> 00:17:02.080
 the wind

00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:03.259
 the breeze

00:17:03.259 --> 00:17:04.259
 of refreshment

00:17:04.259 --> 00:17:05.559
 blows to us

00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:06.140
 from the presence

00:17:06.140 --> 00:17:06.880
 of God himself

00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:09.599
 so this

00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:10.240
 huge

00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:11.160
 cosmic

00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:12.259
 restoration

00:17:12.259 --> 00:17:13.339
 at the end

00:17:13.339 --> 00:17:13.839
 of time

00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:14.200
 which has

00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:14.640
 begun

00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:15.300
 with the

00:17:15.300 --> 00:17:15.820
 resurrection

00:17:15.820 --> 00:17:16.340
 of Jesus

00:17:16.340 --> 00:17:16.740
 Christ

00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:17.520
 blows

00:17:17.520 --> 00:17:18.240
 back

00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:18.900
 into our

00:17:18.900 --> 00:17:19.520
 lives

00:17:19.520 --> 00:17:20.360
 now

00:17:20.360 --> 00:17:21.960
 with this

00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:22.300
 healing

00:17:22.300 --> 00:17:22.759
 wind

00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:24.840
 life

00:17:24.840 --> 00:17:25.880
 giving

00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:27.440
 healthful

00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:27.920
 wind

00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:30.460
 and this

00:17:30.460 --> 00:17:31.100
 wind of

00:17:31.100 --> 00:17:31.700
 refreshment

00:17:31.700 --> 00:17:32.540
 blows into

00:17:32.540 --> 00:17:33.320
 our lives

00:17:33.320 --> 00:17:33.800
 as we

00:17:33.800 --> 00:17:34.160
 turn to

00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:34.440
 him

00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:37.460
 I find it

00:17:37.460 --> 00:17:37.820
 difficult to

00:17:37.820 --> 00:17:38.340
 illustrate this

00:17:38.340 --> 00:17:39.660
 you think of

00:17:39.660 --> 00:17:40.940
 those boiling

00:17:40.940 --> 00:17:41.580
 hot days

00:17:41.580 --> 00:17:42.040
 in London

00:17:42.040 --> 00:17:43.980
 you think of

00:17:43.980 --> 00:17:44.440
 those days

00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:44.880
 when there's

00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:45.339
 there's

00:17:45.339 --> 00:17:46.299
 just no

00:17:46.299 --> 00:17:46.940
 air

00:17:46.940 --> 00:17:48.420
 when you

00:17:48.420 --> 00:17:48.819
 walk on

00:17:48.819 --> 00:17:49.200
 the street

00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:49.599
 and the

00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:50.400
 street is

00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:51.339
 shimmering

00:17:51.339 --> 00:17:51.900
 and the

00:17:51.900 --> 00:17:52.579
 pavement is

00:17:52.579 --> 00:17:53.900
 boiling hot

00:17:53.900 --> 00:17:56.559
 and then the

00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:57.140
 dark clouds

00:17:57.140 --> 00:17:57.720
 come over

00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:00.480
 dark dark

00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:00.980
 clouds

00:18:00.980 --> 00:18:02.579
 and you

00:18:02.579 --> 00:18:04.319
 feel that

00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:05.700
 cold breeze

00:18:05.700 --> 00:18:06.380
 and you know

00:18:06.380 --> 00:18:06.740
 don't you

00:18:06.740 --> 00:18:07.460
 the rain is

00:18:07.460 --> 00:18:07.900
 about to

00:18:07.900 --> 00:18:08.579
 bucket down

00:18:08.579 --> 00:18:10.859
 and that

00:18:10.859 --> 00:18:12.119
 first breeze

00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:12.799
 which tells

00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:13.579
 you the

00:18:13.579 --> 00:18:14.119
 refreshing

00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:15.159
 rain is

00:18:15.159 --> 00:18:15.519
 coming

00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:17.159
 and it's

00:18:17.159 --> 00:18:17.879
 so refreshing

00:18:17.879 --> 00:18:19.859
 and the

00:18:19.859 --> 00:18:20.500
 life that

00:18:20.500 --> 00:18:21.159
 God gives

00:18:21.159 --> 00:18:21.659
 us now

00:18:21.659 --> 00:18:22.279
 is that

00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:23.740
 first breeze

00:18:23.740 --> 00:18:24.419
 of the

00:18:24.419 --> 00:18:24.939
 restoration

00:18:24.939 --> 00:18:26.559
 that he's

00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:26.819
 going to

00:18:26.819 --> 00:18:27.639
 give then

00:18:27.639 --> 00:18:29.659
 Calvin

00:18:29.659 --> 00:18:29.980
 says

00:18:29.980 --> 00:18:30.639
 therefore

00:18:30.639 --> 00:18:31.720
 our hearts

00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:32.619
 would often

00:18:32.619 --> 00:18:33.579
 be dismayed

00:18:33.579 --> 00:18:35.179
 if we did

00:18:35.179 --> 00:18:35.879
 not recall

00:18:35.879 --> 00:18:36.279
 that the

00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:36.859
 day of

00:18:36.859 --> 00:18:37.199
 rest

00:18:37.199 --> 00:18:38.220
 will come

00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:39.779
 which will

00:18:39.779 --> 00:18:40.859
 cool the

00:18:40.859 --> 00:18:41.359
 fever of

00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:41.939
 our troubles

00:18:41.939 --> 00:18:43.639
 and bring

00:18:43.639 --> 00:18:44.039
 an end

00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:44.399
 to our

00:18:44.399 --> 00:18:44.960
 miseries

00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:47.439
 and so

00:18:47.439 --> 00:18:47.980
 this morning

00:18:47.980 --> 00:18:48.579
 if you have

00:18:48.579 --> 00:18:49.460
 new desires

00:18:49.460 --> 00:18:50.019
 in your

00:18:50.019 --> 00:18:50.480
 heart

00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:53.199
 new desires

00:18:53.199 --> 00:18:54.539
 in your

00:18:54.539 --> 00:18:54.899
 heart

00:18:54.899 --> 00:18:55.639
 to love

00:18:55.639 --> 00:18:56.119
 your neighbour

00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:58.639
 to trust

00:18:58.639 --> 00:18:59.579
 in Jesus

00:18:59.579 --> 00:19:02.019
 to want

00:19:02.019 --> 00:19:02.719
 to serve

00:19:02.719 --> 00:19:03.159
 him

00:19:03.159 --> 00:19:03.919
 above

00:19:03.919 --> 00:19:04.279
 everything

00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:04.579
 else

00:19:04.579 --> 00:19:04.959
 you know

00:19:04.959 --> 00:19:05.399
 you struggle

00:19:05.399 --> 00:19:05.719
 you know

00:19:05.719 --> 00:19:06.059
 you fail

00:19:06.059 --> 00:19:06.399
 but that

00:19:06.399 --> 00:19:06.799
 desire

00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:07.299
 is there

00:19:07.299 --> 00:19:09.619
 you find

00:19:09.619 --> 00:19:10.099
 yourself

00:19:10.099 --> 00:19:11.000
 coming to

00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:11.319
 God

00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:11.579
 at the

00:19:11.579 --> 00:19:12.119
 end of

00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:12.339
 your

00:19:12.339 --> 00:19:12.679
 tether

00:19:12.679 --> 00:19:13.319
 and praying

00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:13.719
 our

00:19:13.719 --> 00:19:14.119
 father

00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:14.899
 in heaven

00:19:14.899 --> 00:19:18.099
 take

00:19:18.099 --> 00:19:18.439
 Jesus

00:19:18.439 --> 00:19:18.879
 words

00:19:18.879 --> 00:19:21.479
 come to

00:19:21.479 --> 00:19:21.959
 me all

00:19:21.959 --> 00:19:22.419
 you who

00:19:22.419 --> 00:19:23.199
 are weary

00:19:23.199 --> 00:19:24.059
 and burdened

00:19:24.059 --> 00:19:24.399
 and I

00:19:24.399 --> 00:19:25.319
 will give

00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:25.699
 you

00:19:25.700 --> 00:19:26.460
 rest

00:19:26.460 --> 00:19:28.720
 and that

00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:29.259
 is a rest

00:19:29.259 --> 00:19:29.580
 isn't it

00:19:29.580 --> 00:19:29.880
 that's going

00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:30.360
 to be ours

00:19:30.360 --> 00:19:30.840
 forever

00:19:30.840 --> 00:19:31.360
 wonderfully

00:19:31.360 --> 00:19:33.319
 but he

00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:34.319
 blows that

00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:35.080
 rest into

00:19:35.080 --> 00:19:35.660
 your heart

00:19:35.660 --> 00:19:36.180
 today

00:19:36.180 --> 00:19:39.100
 rest and

00:19:39.100 --> 00:19:39.720
 refreshment

00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:40.220
 from him

00:19:40.220 --> 00:19:42.380
 or take

00:19:42.380 --> 00:19:43.019
 that assurance

00:19:43.019 --> 00:19:44.039
 that nothing

00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:45.460
 can separate

00:19:45.460 --> 00:19:46.880
 you from

00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:47.380
 the love of

00:19:47.380 --> 00:19:47.940
 Jesus Christ

00:19:47.940 --> 00:19:48.519
 nothing

00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:49.779
 no suffering

00:19:49.779 --> 00:19:51.779
 no despair

00:19:51.779 --> 00:19:53.279
 no

00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:54.360
 disappointment

00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:56.599
 no pain

00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:57.000
 he will

00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:57.839
 bring all

00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:58.399
 who belong

00:19:58.399 --> 00:19:58.740
 to him

00:19:58.740 --> 00:19:59.159
 to his

00:19:59.159 --> 00:19:59.519
 goodness

00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:00.019
 and to

00:20:00.019 --> 00:20:00.199
 his

00:20:00.199 --> 00:20:00.639
 glory

00:20:00.639 --> 00:20:02.479
 and that

00:20:02.479 --> 00:20:02.859
 is a

00:20:02.859 --> 00:20:03.479
 wind from

00:20:03.479 --> 00:20:04.139
 the future

00:20:04.139 --> 00:20:05.419
 blowing

00:20:05.419 --> 00:20:06.219
 into our

00:20:06.219 --> 00:20:06.719
 hearts

00:20:06.719 --> 00:20:07.839
 now

00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.319
 I hope

00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:12.240
 that someday

00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:12.699
 soon

00:20:12.699 --> 00:20:14.259
 the

00:20:14.259 --> 00:20:14.459
 prime

00:20:14.459 --> 00:20:14.779
 minister

00:20:14.779 --> 00:20:15.419
 or

00:20:15.419 --> 00:20:16.099
 if he's

00:20:16.099 --> 00:20:16.439
 not well

00:20:16.439 --> 00:20:16.579
 enough

00:20:16.579 --> 00:20:16.879
 the foreign

00:20:16.879 --> 00:20:17.259
 secretary

00:20:17.259 --> 00:20:18.019
 will stand

00:20:18.019 --> 00:20:18.399
 on the

00:20:18.399 --> 00:20:19.099
 doors of

00:20:19.099 --> 00:20:19.859
 10

00:20:19.859 --> 00:20:20.199
 Downing

00:20:20.199 --> 00:20:20.480
 Street

00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:22.579
 and he

00:20:22.579 --> 00:20:23.259
 will announce

00:20:23.259 --> 00:20:23.720
 won't he

00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:24.859
 that this

00:20:24.859 --> 00:20:26.119
 is over

00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:26.879
 sort of

00:20:26.879 --> 00:20:27.579
 and you

00:20:27.579 --> 00:20:28.059
 can begin

00:20:28.059 --> 00:20:28.779
 to meet

00:20:28.779 --> 00:20:29.240
 together

00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:31.240
 and so

00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:31.680
 we in

00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:31.880
 Ealing

00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:32.680
 and all

00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:33.000
 over the

00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:33.380
 country

00:20:33.380 --> 00:20:35.099
 will be

00:20:35.099 --> 00:20:35.759
 impacted

00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:36.559
 by an

00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:37.099
 announcement

00:20:37.099 --> 00:20:38.120
 made in

00:20:38.120 --> 00:20:38.900
 Westminster

00:20:38.900 --> 00:20:39.539
 at a certain

00:20:39.539 --> 00:20:39.799
 amount of

00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:39.940
 time

00:20:39.940 --> 00:20:40.140
 it's the

00:20:40.140 --> 00:20:40.480
 same now

00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:40.720
 isn't it

00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:41.120
 we are

00:20:41.120 --> 00:20:41.500
 impacted

00:20:41.500 --> 00:20:41.940
 today

00:20:41.940 --> 00:20:42.339
 by an

00:20:42.339 --> 00:20:42.759
 announcement

00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:44.380
 on the

00:20:44.380 --> 00:20:44.819
 steps of

00:20:44.819 --> 00:20:44.980
 10

00:20:44.980 --> 00:20:45.319
 Downing

00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:45.620
 Street

00:20:45.620 --> 00:20:48.620
 that is

00:20:48.620 --> 00:20:49.220
 impacting us

00:20:49.220 --> 00:20:49.460
 from a

00:20:49.460 --> 00:20:49.680
 different

00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:49.920
 time

00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:50.180
 from a

00:20:50.180 --> 00:20:50.380
 different

00:20:50.380 --> 00:20:50.839
 place

00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:52.299
 and yet

00:20:52.299 --> 00:20:52.740
 we feel

00:20:52.740 --> 00:20:53.180
 the impact

00:20:53.180 --> 00:20:53.819
 of that

00:20:53.819 --> 00:20:54.279
 decision

00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:54.799
 made in

00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:55.079
 government

00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:55.559
 then

00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:57.940
 and so

00:20:57.940 --> 00:20:58.259
 it is

00:20:58.259 --> 00:20:58.759
 for us

00:20:58.759 --> 00:20:59.139
 this

00:20:59.139 --> 00:20:59.679
 Easter

00:20:59.679 --> 00:21:00.099
 Sunday

00:21:00.099 --> 00:21:02.000
 peace

00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:02.679
 has been

00:21:02.679 --> 00:21:03.259
 made

00:21:03.259 --> 00:21:04.059
 through the

00:21:04.059 --> 00:21:04.519
 death

00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:05.079
 of

00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:05.679
 Jesus

00:21:05.679 --> 00:21:06.240
 and the

00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:06.619
 cross

00:21:06.619 --> 00:21:07.240
 and the

00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:07.919
 guarantee

00:21:07.919 --> 00:21:09.440
 of full

00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:09.859
 peace

00:21:09.859 --> 00:21:10.399
 and

00:21:10.399 --> 00:21:11.019
 restoration

00:21:11.019 --> 00:21:11.639
 has

00:21:11.639 --> 00:21:12.139
 happened

00:21:12.139 --> 00:21:13.379
 through

00:21:13.379 --> 00:21:13.599
 the

00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:14.019
 resurrection

00:21:14.019 --> 00:21:14.559
 of Jesus

00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:15.399
 we are

00:21:15.399 --> 00:21:15.839
 impacted

00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:16.460
 directly

00:21:16.460 --> 00:21:17.319
 by what

00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:17.720
 happened

00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:18.099
 2000

00:21:18.099 --> 00:21:18.839
 years ago

00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:19.259
 on that

00:21:19.259 --> 00:21:19.480
 Easter

00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:19.799
 Sunday

00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:20.179
 morning

00:21:20.179 --> 00:21:21.119
 but we

00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:21.419
 wait

00:21:21.419 --> 00:21:23.859
 we wait

00:21:23.859 --> 00:21:25.099
 for the

00:21:25.099 --> 00:21:25.319
 full

00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:25.759
 enjoyment

00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:26.159
 of that

00:21:26.159 --> 00:21:26.679
 restoration

00:21:26.679 --> 00:21:28.659
 the

00:21:28.659 --> 00:21:28.839
 full

00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:29.240
 enjoyment

00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:29.679
 of

00:21:29.679 --> 00:21:30.299
 relationships

00:21:30.299 --> 00:21:30.639
 of

00:21:30.639 --> 00:21:30.959
 everything

00:21:30.959 --> 00:21:32.959
 but the

00:21:32.959 --> 00:21:33.399
 fact that

00:21:33.399 --> 00:21:33.899
 we know

00:21:33.899 --> 00:21:34.159
 it is

00:21:34.159 --> 00:21:34.379
 coming

00:21:34.379 --> 00:21:34.759
 the fact

00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:34.979
 that we

00:21:34.979 --> 00:21:35.479
 look back

00:21:35.479 --> 00:21:35.799
 to the

00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:36.219
 resurrection

00:21:36.219 --> 00:21:36.740
 changes

00:21:36.740 --> 00:21:37.500
 everything

00:21:37.500 --> 00:21:37.879
 for us

00:21:37.879 --> 00:21:38.359
 now

00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:40.500
 and the

00:21:40.500 --> 00:21:40.859
 primary

00:21:40.859 --> 00:21:41.379
 wind of

00:21:41.379 --> 00:21:42.000
 refreshment

00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:43.039
 that blows

00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:43.299
 into our

00:21:43.299 --> 00:21:43.479
 hearts

00:21:43.479 --> 00:21:43.799
 in verse

00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:44.299
 19

00:21:44.299 --> 00:21:44.699
 can you

00:21:44.699 --> 00:21:45.000
 see it

00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:46.939
 it's

00:21:46.939 --> 00:21:47.339
 that our

00:21:47.339 --> 00:21:47.740
 sins

00:21:47.740 --> 00:21:48.299
 can be

00:21:48.299 --> 00:21:48.559
 wiped

00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:48.879
 out

00:21:48.879 --> 00:21:51.199
 repent

00:21:51.199 --> 00:21:53.079
 turn

00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:53.460
 again

00:21:53.460 --> 00:21:53.659
 to

00:21:53.659 --> 00:21:53.939
 God

00:21:53.939 --> 00:21:54.099
 that

00:21:54.099 --> 00:21:54.339
 your

00:21:54.339 --> 00:21:54.859
 sins

00:21:54.859 --> 00:21:55.179
 may

00:21:55.179 --> 00:21:55.359
 be

00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:55.960
 wiped

00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:56.159
 out

00:21:56.159 --> 00:21:56.460
 we've

00:21:56.460 --> 00:21:56.859
 all

00:21:56.859 --> 00:21:57.159
 turned

00:21:57.159 --> 00:21:57.519
 aside

00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:57.740
 from

00:21:57.740 --> 00:21:57.980
 God

00:21:57.980 --> 00:21:58.240
 we've

00:21:58.240 --> 00:21:58.500
 all

00:21:58.500 --> 00:21:58.740
 gone

00:21:58.740 --> 00:21:58.919
 our

00:21:58.919 --> 00:21:59.119
 own

00:21:59.119 --> 00:21:59.319
 way

00:21:59.319 --> 00:21:59.619
 we've

00:21:59.619 --> 00:21:59.939
 all

00:21:59.939 --> 00:22:00.519
 rejected

00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:01.339
 Jesus

00:22:01.339 --> 00:22:01.779
 in a

00:22:01.779 --> 00:22:01.960
 way

00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:02.220
 and we

00:22:02.220 --> 00:22:02.699
 need

00:22:02.699 --> 00:22:03.699
 forgiveness

00:22:03.699 --> 00:22:06.339
 and many

00:22:06.339 --> 00:22:06.639
 of us

00:22:06.639 --> 00:22:06.859
 know

00:22:06.859 --> 00:22:07.179
 don't we

00:22:07.179 --> 00:22:07.399
 that

00:22:07.399 --> 00:22:08.099
 bone

00:22:08.099 --> 00:22:08.699
 weariness

00:22:08.699 --> 00:22:09.079
 and

00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:09.859
 boredom

00:22:09.859 --> 00:22:10.119
 and

00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:10.960
 distractedness

00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:11.199
 and

00:22:11.199 --> 00:22:11.759
 disappointment

00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:12.220
 with

00:22:12.220 --> 00:22:12.740
 ourselves

00:22:12.740 --> 00:22:13.519
 and we've

00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:14.139
 tried all

00:22:14.139 --> 00:22:14.559
 sorts of

00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:14.960
 things

00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:16.019
 while the

00:22:16.019 --> 00:22:17.000
 death

00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:17.319
 and the

00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:17.799
 resurrection

00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:18.379
 of Jesus

00:22:18.379 --> 00:22:18.720
 that we

00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:19.179
 celebrate

00:22:19.179 --> 00:22:19.619
 today

00:22:19.619 --> 00:22:20.339
 is sufficient

00:22:20.339 --> 00:22:22.199
 to wipe

00:22:22.199 --> 00:22:22.599
 away

00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:23.339
 our sins

00:22:23.339 --> 00:22:25.379
 to take

00:22:25.379 --> 00:22:25.779
 them as

00:22:25.779 --> 00:22:26.000
 though they

00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:26.480
 were written

00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:27.039
 on a

00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:27.480
 board

00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:28.259
 and wash

00:22:28.259 --> 00:22:29.000
 them clean

00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:29.899
 and they

00:22:29.899 --> 00:22:30.319
 are gone

00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:32.379
 and this

00:22:32.379 --> 00:22:32.859
 is where

00:22:32.859 --> 00:22:33.319
 our

00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:34.179
 restoration

00:22:34.179 --> 00:22:35.279
 and our

00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:35.639
 refreshing

00:22:35.639 --> 00:22:36.299
 come together

00:22:36.299 --> 00:22:38.959
 because the

00:22:38.959 --> 00:22:39.319
 forgiveness

00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:40.000
 of our

00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:40.819
 sins is

00:22:40.819 --> 00:22:42.039
 the final

00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:42.759
 declaration

00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:43.419
 of that

00:22:43.419 --> 00:22:43.799
 day

00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:45.859
 that Jesus

00:22:45.859 --> 00:22:46.559
 will make

00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:47.240
 about us

00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:47.980
 but we

00:22:47.980 --> 00:22:48.399
 know about

00:22:48.399 --> 00:22:49.019
 it now

00:22:49.019 --> 00:22:51.000
 and that

00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:51.539
 is the

00:22:51.539 --> 00:22:52.179
 future

00:22:52.180 --> 00:22:53.440
 blowing

00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:54.019
 into our

00:22:54.019 --> 00:22:54.460
 hearts

00:22:54.460 --> 00:22:55.140
 that is

00:22:55.140 --> 00:22:55.320
 the

00:22:55.320 --> 00:22:55.759
 assurance

00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:56.240
 that

00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:56.580
 Jesus

00:22:56.580 --> 00:22:57.320
 gives

00:22:57.320 --> 00:22:59.960
 and if

00:22:59.960 --> 00:23:00.279
 you don't

00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:00.680
 have that

00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:01.100
 assurance

00:23:01.100 --> 00:23:01.880
 ask him

00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:02.440
 for it

00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:04.320
 ask Jesus

00:23:04.320 --> 00:23:05.160
 for it

00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:06.100
 ask him

00:23:06.100 --> 00:23:06.680
 and he

00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:07.720
 will answer

00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:09.740
 seek the

00:23:09.740 --> 00:23:10.220
 Lord

00:23:10.220 --> 00:23:11.080
 while he

00:23:11.080 --> 00:23:11.620
 may be

00:23:11.620 --> 00:23:12.100
 found

00:23:12.100 --> 00:23:13.460
 turn to

00:23:13.460 --> 00:23:13.779
 him

00:23:13.779 --> 00:23:14.700
 while he

00:23:14.700 --> 00:23:15.200
 is near

00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:19.000
 let the

00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:19.299
 wicked

00:23:19.299 --> 00:23:19.940
 forsake

00:23:19.940 --> 00:23:20.480
 his way

00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:21.660
 and the

00:23:21.660 --> 00:23:22.259
 unrighteous

00:23:22.259 --> 00:23:22.759
 man his

00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:23.000
 thoughts

00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:23.299
 let him

00:23:23.299 --> 00:23:23.920
 return to

00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:24.380
 the Lord

00:23:24.380 --> 00:23:25.000
 that he

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:25.460
 may have

00:23:25.460 --> 00:23:25.940
 compassion

00:23:25.940 --> 00:23:26.420
 on him

00:23:26.420 --> 00:23:27.019
 and to

00:23:27.019 --> 00:23:27.580
 our God

00:23:27.580 --> 00:23:28.059
 for he

00:23:28.059 --> 00:23:28.299
 will

00:23:28.299 --> 00:23:29.240
 abundantly

00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:29.720
 pardon

00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:29.960
 in

00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:32.160
 and so

00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:32.299
 we

00:23:32.299 --> 00:23:32.759
 rejoice

00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:35.380
 you don't

00:23:35.380 --> 00:23:36.240
 need to

00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:36.980
 leap up

00:23:36.980 --> 00:23:37.620
 and jump

00:23:37.620 --> 00:23:38.660
 if you

00:23:38.660 --> 00:23:38.980
 want to

00:23:38.980 --> 00:23:40.220
 feel free

00:23:40.220 --> 00:23:42.500
 but I do

00:23:42.500 --> 00:23:42.819
 hope that

00:23:42.819 --> 00:23:43.480
 your heart

00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:44.259
 this day

00:23:44.259 --> 00:23:46.120
 does a

00:23:46.120 --> 00:23:46.420
 little bit

00:23:46.420 --> 00:23:47.019
 of leaping

00:23:47.019 --> 00:23:48.539
 in the

00:23:48.539 --> 00:23:48.920
 resurrection

00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:49.319
 of Jesus

00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:49.720
 Christ

00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:52.259
 because God

00:23:52.259 --> 00:23:52.940
 has begun

00:23:52.940 --> 00:23:54.000
 that full

00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:55.299
 work of

00:23:55.299 --> 00:23:55.799
 restoration

00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:56.259
 of the

00:23:56.259 --> 00:23:56.559
 world

00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:58.119
 bringing

00:23:58.119 --> 00:23:59.079
 his glory

00:23:59.079 --> 00:23:59.659
 and his

00:23:59.659 --> 00:24:00.200
 goodness

00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:01.859
 and times

00:24:01.859 --> 00:24:02.480
 of refreshing

00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:03.139
 that come

00:24:03.139 --> 00:24:04.179
 from his

00:24:04.179 --> 00:24:04.599
 presence

00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:05.019
 through

00:24:05.019 --> 00:24:05.639
 repentance

00:24:05.639 --> 00:24:06.579
 and faith

00:24:06.579 --> 00:24:08.179
 and the

00:24:08.179 --> 00:24:08.440
 forgiveness

00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:09.119
 of sins

00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:11.539
 and therefore

00:24:11.539 --> 00:24:12.319
 we can say

00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:13.039
 this morning

00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:14.899
 that I am

00:24:14.899 --> 00:24:15.319
 sure that

00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:15.839
 neither death

00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:16.419
 nor life

00:24:16.419 --> 00:24:18.440
 nor angels

00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:19.779
 nor principalities

00:24:19.779 --> 00:24:21.659
 nor things

00:24:21.659 --> 00:24:22.220
 present

00:24:22.220 --> 00:24:23.039
 nor things

00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:23.559
 to come

00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:25.339
 nor height

00:24:25.339 --> 00:24:25.940
 nor depth

00:24:25.940 --> 00:24:27.880
 nor power

00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:28.980
 nor nothing

00:24:28.980 --> 00:24:29.940
 in all

00:24:29.940 --> 00:24:30.500
 creation

00:24:30.500 --> 00:24:32.100
 is able

00:24:32.100 --> 00:24:32.660
 to separate

00:24:32.660 --> 00:24:33.220
 us from

00:24:33.220 --> 00:24:33.519
 the love

00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:34.000
 of God

00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:35.380
 in the

00:24:35.380 --> 00:24:35.940
 risen Christ

00:24:35.940 --> 00:24:36.519
 Jesus our

00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:36.779
 Lord

00:24:36.779 --> 00:24:38.279
 Amen
