00:00:00.660 --> 00:00:02.180
 Psalm 125

00:00:02.180 --> 00:00:08.279
 A song of ascents

00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:13.400
 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,

00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:17.559
 which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

00:00:18.820 --> 00:00:21.199
 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,

00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:23.699
 so the Lord surrounds His people,

00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:27.120
 from this time forth and forevermore.

00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:33.760
 For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous,

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:37.719
 lest the righteous stretch out their hands to do wrong.

00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:41.719
 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,

00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:44.560
 and to those who are upright in their hearts.

00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:47.700
 But those who turn aside to their crooked ways,

00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:50.659
 the Lord will lead away with evildoers.

00:00:51.740 --> 00:00:53.579
 Peace be upon Israel.

00:00:53.579 --> 00:00:58.479
 So, the main point of this psalm is that

00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:01.039
 those who trust in the Lord will be immovable,

00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:07.120
 even under the pressure of wickedness.

00:01:08.420 --> 00:01:11.420
 And it begins in verses 1-2 this way,

00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:14.840
 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,

00:01:15.099 --> 00:01:17.259
 which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

00:01:17.260 --> 00:01:19.840
 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,

00:01:19.980 --> 00:01:23.580
 so the Lord surrounds His people from this time forth and forevermore.

00:01:24.620 --> 00:01:27.880
 Mountains are a great image and symbol of stability, right?

00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:30.240
 And a kind of unchanging presence.

00:01:30.939 --> 00:01:31.960
 If you guys know of,

00:01:32.960 --> 00:01:36.219
 if you had mountains in your area, hometown where you grew up,

00:01:36.780 --> 00:01:38.080
 you know that whenever you go back home,

00:01:38.939 --> 00:01:40.320
 mountains are still there, right?

00:01:41.060 --> 00:01:43.280
 The shops change, houses change,

00:01:43.380 --> 00:01:45.000
 things get broken down and rebuilt,

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:46.420
 but the mountains are always there.

00:01:47.459 --> 00:01:49.439
 So, that's the kind of idea it's getting at.

00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.260
 The Mount Zion abides forever.

00:01:53.700 --> 00:01:55.620
 And then it says that,

00:01:55.819 --> 00:01:57.540
 not just the Mount Zion,

00:01:57.620 --> 00:02:01.079
 but it also mentions mountains that surround Mount Zion.

00:02:01.260 --> 00:02:02.719
 Jerusalem sits on Mount Zion,

00:02:02.900 --> 00:02:06.319
 which is actually one of the smaller mountains in the area.

00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:08.979
 So, there's another mountain,

00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:10.500
 the Mount of Olives that you guys know of.

00:02:10.579 --> 00:02:14.060
 It was 66 meters taller than Mount Zion.

00:02:14.519 --> 00:02:16.519
 Mount Scopus was 76 meters taller.

00:02:17.139 --> 00:02:19.780
 Ras al-Mekabir was 53 meters taller.

00:02:20.299 --> 00:02:22.500
 So, it really is like Mount Zion.

00:02:22.659 --> 00:02:23.859
 This is this little mountain

00:02:23.859 --> 00:02:26.139
 out in which Jerusalem, the city sits.

00:02:26.340 --> 00:02:27.340
 And then around it,

00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:29.680
 it really is surrounded by taller mountains.

00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:34.340
 So, it has a visual effect of like a wall

00:02:34.340 --> 00:02:36.340
 or a fortress that surrounds a castle.

00:02:37.099 --> 00:02:42.460
 It's quite a powerful image.

00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:44.580
 And so, for people of faith,

00:02:44.659 --> 00:02:47.159
 then that became a lasting symbol of God's protection,

00:02:47.939 --> 00:02:50.800
 that God surrounds his people like these mountains.

00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:52.420
 He envelops them,

00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:53.240
 he protects them.

00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:57.540
 And this is really helpful in light of,

00:02:57.960 --> 00:02:59.560
 helpful truth,

00:02:59.700 --> 00:03:00.800
 spiritual truth to remember

00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:02.000
 in light of all that's going on.

00:03:02.900 --> 00:03:08.580
 I read New England Journal of Medicine's article,

00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:10.400
 which was not encouraging.

00:03:11.740 --> 00:03:14.520
 And I think this was published last week.

00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.219
 So, so far the guidance we have received

00:03:17.219 --> 00:03:21.320
 about the COVID-19 or the SARS-CoVirus

00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:23.599
 is that it travels six feet

00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:25.840
 in respiratory droplets.

00:03:27.139 --> 00:03:29.060
 But then they,

00:03:29.419 --> 00:03:30.400
 according to their study,

00:03:31.340 --> 00:03:31.479
 it's,

00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.780
 it contradicts CDC, WHO's guidance,

00:03:35.979 --> 00:03:36.560
 but it's,

00:03:37.079 --> 00:03:38.219
 it could live in the air

00:03:38.219 --> 00:03:40.500
 for up to three hours or more.

00:03:41.780 --> 00:03:42.859
 If that's the case,

00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:44.299
 then you really can't get away from it.

00:03:44.340 --> 00:03:45.620
 It's like literally in the air

00:03:45.620 --> 00:03:47.439
 everywhere you go,

00:03:47.579 --> 00:03:48.419
 everywhere there's people

00:03:48.419 --> 00:03:49.379
 that's affected by it.

00:03:49.379 --> 00:03:49.879
 So like,

00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:51.299
 I mean,

00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:53.699
 that's like still to be,

00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:54.299
 to be,

00:03:54.299 --> 00:03:54.620
 you know,

00:03:54.780 --> 00:03:55.799
 determined whether or not

00:03:55.799 --> 00:03:57.099
 official guidance will change

00:03:57.099 --> 00:03:58.560
 because of that or not.

00:03:58.659 --> 00:03:58.819
 But,

00:03:59.240 --> 00:03:59.699
 so like,

00:03:59.780 --> 00:04:00.419
 think about that,

00:04:00.460 --> 00:04:00.659
 right?

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:01.780
 And now,

00:04:01.979 --> 00:04:03.759
 and now,

00:04:03.819 --> 00:04:04.439
 like I know,

00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:06.359
 people can actually fear

00:04:06.359 --> 00:04:08.719
 and respond to things,

00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:10.139
 threats that they can't see

00:04:10.139 --> 00:04:11.199
 because that's what people are doing,

00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:11.479
 right?

00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:12.019
 So it's,

00:04:12.060 --> 00:04:13.240
 it's a lie when we'd say that,

00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:13.400
 well,

00:04:13.460 --> 00:04:13.719
 if you,

00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:15.579
 people are never going to believe in the devil

00:04:15.579 --> 00:04:17.680
 or you'd be afraid of what he can do

00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:18.699
 or sin or whatnot.

00:04:18.699 --> 00:04:19.379
 But it's a,

00:04:20.579 --> 00:04:21.959
 this is literally in the air,

00:04:22.039 --> 00:04:22.699
 it's everywhere

00:04:22.699 --> 00:04:24.300
 and it's almost unavoidable

00:04:24.300 --> 00:04:25.759
 and this strikes fear

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:26.579
 into people's hearts.

00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:27.779
 But the,

00:04:27.819 --> 00:04:29.240
 the truth that we have to remember

00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:30.099
 is that the virus

00:04:30.099 --> 00:04:31.079
 is not the only thing

00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:32.519
 we can't see with our eyes,

00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:33.139
 right?

00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.360
 We can't see the Lord

00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:37.099
 with our eyes.

00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:40.159
 But his word tells us

00:04:40.159 --> 00:04:41.180
 that as the mountains

00:04:41.180 --> 00:04:42.219
 surround Jerusalem,

00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.379
 so the Lord surrounds his people.

00:04:44.379 --> 00:04:46.639
 We are surrounded

00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.060
 by the presence of the Lord,

00:04:49.180 --> 00:04:50.879
 by the protection of our Lord.

00:04:52.019 --> 00:04:53.519
 He's all around us.

00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:55.360
 He envelops us in his love.

00:04:55.860 --> 00:04:57.379
 His protection over us

00:04:57.379 --> 00:04:59.939
 is like an immovable mountain range.

00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:02.319
 And,

00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:04.180
 and so that's the,

00:05:04.259 --> 00:05:05.839
 that's the promise for us.

00:05:06.060 --> 00:05:06.159
 And,

00:05:06.300 --> 00:05:06.659
 and,

00:05:06.660 --> 00:05:08.720
 and the reason why

00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:09.640
 we can hope in this,

00:05:09.700 --> 00:05:11.360
 even in a wicked world,

00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:12.260
 it says in verse three,

00:05:12.380 --> 00:05:13.820
 for the scepter of wickedness

00:05:13.820 --> 00:05:14.620
 shall not rest

00:05:14.620 --> 00:05:15.700
 on the land allotted

00:05:15.700 --> 00:05:16.460
 to the righteous,

00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:17.740
 lest the righteous

00:05:17.740 --> 00:05:19.000
 stretch out their hands

00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:19.660
 to do wrong.

00:05:20.320 --> 00:05:20.660
 So,

00:05:20.760 --> 00:05:21.440
 people debate,

00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:21.840
 you know,

00:05:21.940 --> 00:05:22.960
 in what context

00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:23.780
 this psalm was written.

00:05:24.280 --> 00:05:25.500
 Some people think that

00:05:25.500 --> 00:05:27.260
 this psalm was written

00:05:27.260 --> 00:05:28.280
 at the time of,

00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.779
 maybe one of the wicked kings

00:05:30.779 --> 00:05:31.259
 of Israel.

00:05:31.779 --> 00:05:32.019
 So,

00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:33.539
 it's speaking of their scepter,

00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:35.199
 the scepter of wickedness.

00:05:35.719 --> 00:05:35.919
 And,

00:05:35.979 --> 00:05:36.259
 basically,

00:05:36.379 --> 00:05:38.359
 this is expressing faith

00:05:38.359 --> 00:05:38.819
 that,

00:05:39.119 --> 00:05:40.479
 that kind of wicked rule

00:05:40.479 --> 00:05:41.619
 will not rest

00:05:41.619 --> 00:05:42.859
 for long

00:05:42.859 --> 00:05:44.439
 on this land

00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:45.659
 which was given,

00:05:45.919 --> 00:05:46.939
 allotted to the righteous.

00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:48.079
 It was supposed to belong

00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:48.719
 to God's people.

00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:51.159
 Some other people think it's,

00:05:51.579 --> 00:05:52.579
 it was written in the context

00:05:52.579 --> 00:05:53.599
 of exile,

00:05:53.719 --> 00:05:54.059
 basically,

00:05:54.179 --> 00:05:55.799
 when there's a foreign ruler.

00:05:57.159 --> 00:05:57.459
 And,

00:05:57.459 --> 00:05:59.579
 and over,

00:05:59.859 --> 00:06:01.339
 with authority over Jerusalem,

00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:03.299
 saying that this scepter of wickedness

00:06:03.299 --> 00:06:04.039
 shall not rest

00:06:04.039 --> 00:06:04.799
 on the land allotted

00:06:04.799 --> 00:06:05.479
 to the righteous,

00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:06.859
 lest the righteous

00:06:06.859 --> 00:06:07.919
 stretch out their hands

00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:08.379
 to do wrong.

00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.000
 If that state of,

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:11.759
 of wicked's,

00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:13.139
 wicked's rule continues,

00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:14.519
 even the righteous

00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:15.699
 might stretch out their hands

00:06:15.699 --> 00:06:16.339
 and do wrong.

00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:16.819
 And so,

00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:17.259
 they,

00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:18.459
 and so the psalmist

00:06:18.459 --> 00:06:19.139
 is expressing

00:06:19.139 --> 00:06:20.519
 his trust in the Lord

00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:21.740
 and saying that that situation

00:06:21.740 --> 00:06:22.519
 will not last.

00:06:23.139 --> 00:06:23.479
 And then,

00:06:23.539 --> 00:06:24.299
 verses four to five

00:06:24.299 --> 00:06:25.439
 transitions to a prayer.

00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:26.259
 It says,

00:06:26.379 --> 00:06:26.819
 do good,

00:06:26.899 --> 00:06:27.159
 O Lord,

00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:28.180
 to those who are good

00:06:28.180 --> 00:06:29.720
 and to those who are upright

00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:30.439
 in their hearts.

00:06:30.820 --> 00:06:32.000
 But those who turn aside

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:33.000
 to their crooked ways,

00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:34.439
 the Lord will lead away

00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:35.420
 with evildoers.

00:06:36.080 --> 00:06:37.540
 Peace be upon Israel.

00:06:39.180 --> 00:06:40.160
 And so he's saying,

00:06:40.420 --> 00:06:41.700
 may those who continue

00:06:41.700 --> 00:06:43.020
 to be faithful to you

00:06:43.020 --> 00:06:43.740
 and seek you,

00:06:43.980 --> 00:06:45.800
 do good to them,

00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:46.879
 keep them in the land,

00:06:47.300 --> 00:06:48.680
 but judge those who turn aside

00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:49.140
 from you,

00:06:49.320 --> 00:06:50.860
 lead them away with evildoers

00:06:50.860 --> 00:06:52.240
 among God's people.

00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:56.019
 And this promise

00:06:56.019 --> 00:06:57.300
 is fulfilled

00:06:57.300 --> 00:06:58.379
 like all

00:06:58.379 --> 00:06:59.100
 love scripture,

00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:00.199
 ultimately in Jesus.

00:07:01.060 --> 00:07:02.180
 I don't know if you guys

00:07:02.180 --> 00:07:03.340
 remember the

00:07:03.340 --> 00:07:06.540
 Jacob's blessing

00:07:06.540 --> 00:07:07.139
 of his sons.

00:07:07.259 --> 00:07:08.480
 This is a famous prophecy

00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:09.860
 when he says

00:07:09.860 --> 00:07:10.740
 in Genesis 49,

00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:11.420
 9 to 10,

00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:12.280
 when he is blessing

00:07:12.280 --> 00:07:13.079
 his son Judah,

00:07:13.780 --> 00:07:14.139
 he says,

00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:15.840
 Judah is a lion's cub.

00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:16.840
 From the prey,

00:07:16.960 --> 00:07:17.379
 my son,

00:07:17.420 --> 00:07:18.060
 you have gone up.

00:07:18.420 --> 00:07:19.340
 He stooped down,

00:07:19.339 --> 00:07:20.659
 he crouched as a lion

00:07:20.659 --> 00:07:21.959
 and as a lioness

00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:23.299
 who dares rouse him.

00:07:23.819 --> 00:07:24.699
 The scepter

00:07:24.699 --> 00:07:25.859
 shall not depart

00:07:25.859 --> 00:07:26.479
 from Judah,

00:07:26.819 --> 00:07:28.299
 nor the ruler's staff

00:07:28.299 --> 00:07:29.399
 from between his feet

00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:31.379
 until tribute comes to him

00:07:31.379 --> 00:07:32.139
 and to him

00:07:32.139 --> 00:07:33.219
 shall be the obedience

00:07:33.219 --> 00:07:34.459
 of the peoples.

00:07:35.299 --> 00:07:36.000
 So he speaks

00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:36.779
 of the scepter

00:07:36.779 --> 00:07:37.919
 not departing from Judah.

00:07:38.099 --> 00:07:39.000
 So he's prophesying

00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:39.679
 that a ruler

00:07:39.679 --> 00:07:40.679
 will come from Judah

00:07:40.679 --> 00:07:41.799
 and that there will be,

00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:43.459
 the reign will continue

00:07:43.459 --> 00:07:44.219
 from a king

00:07:44.219 --> 00:07:45.219
 from the line of Judah.

00:07:46.500 --> 00:07:47.759
 And so that's the,

00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.759
 that's fulfilled in Jesus.

00:07:51.019 --> 00:07:51.860
 And so here it talks

00:07:51.860 --> 00:07:52.579
 about the scepter

00:07:52.579 --> 00:07:53.159
 of wickedness

00:07:53.159 --> 00:07:53.839
 shall not rest.

00:07:54.259 --> 00:07:54.860
 So there will be

00:07:54.860 --> 00:07:56.039
 a scepter of righteousness

00:07:56.039 --> 00:07:56.939
 established

00:07:56.939 --> 00:07:57.860
 and it's established

00:07:57.860 --> 00:07:59.079
 with the coming of Jesus

00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:00.279
 who we know

00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:01.980
 is from the tribe of Judah

00:08:01.980 --> 00:08:02.759
 as it says

00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:03.939
 in numerous places

00:08:03.939 --> 00:08:05.519
 in the New Testament.

00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:07.360
 He was the one

00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:08.139
 that was prophesied

00:08:08.139 --> 00:08:09.079
 of Judah's descendants

00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:10.560
 and he's described

00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:12.060
 as the lion of Judah

00:08:12.060 --> 00:08:14.839
 in Revelation chapter 5,

00:08:14.939 --> 00:08:15.759
 verse 5

00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:16.620
 where he says,

00:08:16.620 --> 00:08:17.439
 weep no more.

00:08:17.540 --> 00:08:18.000
 Behold,

00:08:18.340 --> 00:08:19.939
 the lion of the tribe

00:08:19.939 --> 00:08:20.420
 of Judah,

00:08:20.899 --> 00:08:22.000
 the root of David

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:23.280
 has conquered

00:08:23.280 --> 00:08:24.680
 so that he can open

00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:25.180
 the scroll

00:08:25.180 --> 00:08:26.240
 and its seven seals.

00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:28.040
 And we ask,

00:08:28.139 --> 00:08:29.160
 how did he conquer?

00:08:29.620 --> 00:08:30.939
 How did this mighty lion

00:08:30.939 --> 00:08:32.340
 conquer wickedness,

00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:33.580
 wicked rulers?

00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:35.220
 How did he conquer evil?

00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:36.399
 How did he conquer sin?

00:08:37.220 --> 00:08:38.100
 And then it continues

00:08:38.100 --> 00:08:39.000
 in Revelation 5,

00:08:39.060 --> 00:08:39.940
 verses 9 to 10.

00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:41.080
 Worthy are you

00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:41.919
 to take the scroll

00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:42.980
 and to open its seals

00:08:42.980 --> 00:08:43.620
 for you were slain

00:08:43.620 --> 00:08:46.039
 and by your blood

00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:47.060
 you ransomed people

00:08:47.060 --> 00:08:47.580
 for God

00:08:47.580 --> 00:08:48.600
 from every tribe

00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:49.240
 and language

00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:49.799
 and people

00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:50.399
 and nation

00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:51.820
 and you have made them

00:08:51.820 --> 00:08:52.820
 a kingdom and priests

00:08:52.820 --> 00:08:53.460
 to our God

00:08:53.460 --> 00:08:54.980
 and they shall reign

00:08:54.980 --> 00:08:55.620
 on the earth.

00:08:56.980 --> 00:08:59.639
 The lion of Judah

00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:00.940
 conquered by becoming

00:09:00.940 --> 00:09:02.220
 the slain lamb of God

00:09:02.220 --> 00:09:03.639
 who died on the cross

00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:04.139
 for the sins

00:09:04.139 --> 00:09:04.720
 of his people

00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:08.300
 and by his death

00:09:08.300 --> 00:09:09.840
 he killed death,

00:09:10.019 --> 00:09:10.920
 he defeated death

00:09:10.920 --> 00:09:14.300
 and it's by his resurrection

00:09:14.300 --> 00:09:15.279
 that he bestows

00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:16.019
 that new life

00:09:16.019 --> 00:09:16.620
 on all those

00:09:16.620 --> 00:09:17.580
 who put their trust in him,

00:09:17.700 --> 00:09:18.540
 repent of their sins

00:09:18.540 --> 00:09:19.200
 and believe in him

00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:19.840
 for salvation.

00:09:21.700 --> 00:09:23.300
 And as people

00:09:23.300 --> 00:09:24.320
 who are living

00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:25.580
 in the era

00:09:25.580 --> 00:09:26.220
 of fulfillment

00:09:26.220 --> 00:09:27.060
 of that promise,

00:09:27.660 --> 00:09:28.860
 we can live

00:09:28.860 --> 00:09:30.320
 with even greater assurance

00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.040
 that we will remain,

00:09:33.180 --> 00:09:34.240
 that we can be immovable

00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:35.820
 like a mountain range,

00:09:36.259 --> 00:09:39.180
 like Mount Zion,

00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:39.940
 because the Lord

00:09:39.940 --> 00:09:41.279
 surrounds us,

00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:43.240
 he is with us,

00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:44.680
 he has established us

00:09:44.680 --> 00:09:45.600
 as his people,

00:09:45.740 --> 00:09:46.879
 we are the new Jerusalem,

00:09:47.340 --> 00:09:49.740
 as the Bible calls us elsewhere.

00:09:50.820 --> 00:09:52.180
 And so because of that,

00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:54.240
 as we live in light

00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:55.720
 of what Christ has shown us,

00:09:57.060 --> 00:09:58.399
 it's ironic, right,

00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:00.000
 that the slain lamb of God

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:00.940
 is the lion of Judah.

00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:02.279
 In the same way,

00:10:02.560 --> 00:10:03.480
 we are the victors

00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:04.080
 but we are called

00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:05.019
 to be like sheep

00:10:05.019 --> 00:10:05.720
 among wolves.

00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:06.960
 We are called

00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.139
 to be suffering servants.

00:10:10.340 --> 00:10:11.960
 And as we continue

00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:12.920
 to live in the pattern

00:10:12.920 --> 00:10:13.759
 of Jesus Christ,

00:10:13.860 --> 00:10:14.460
 we will find

00:10:14.460 --> 00:10:15.039
 that we too

00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:15.740
 are immovable

00:10:15.740 --> 00:10:17.899
 and that we will endure

00:10:17.899 --> 00:10:19.039
 even under the duress

00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:19.759
 of wickedness

00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:20.759
 and sin in this world

00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:23.240
 and bring glory to God.

00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:25.340
 in the other 말

00:10:25.340 --> 00:10:25.419
 among us who

00:10:25.460 --> 00:10:25.779
 can you

00:10:25.779 --> 00:10:26.580
 is the home

00:10:26.680 --> 00:10:26.919
 hill

00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:28.180
 until we temperature

00:10:28.259 --> 00:10:28.620
 is the home

00:10:28.620 --> 00:10:28.860
 of whatever

00:10:28.860 --> 00:10:37.919
 the ice

00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:42.600
 is appealable.

00:10:42.659 --> 00:10:43.600
 This way,

00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:45.860
 you can see

00:10:45.940 --> 00:10:46.580
 what you really

00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:47.879
 took

00:10:47.980 --> 00:10:48.860
 during the Passion
