00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.980
 We have spent two months in the book of Isaiah

00:00:03.980 --> 00:00:06.839
 and covered about two-thirds of the chapters.

00:00:07.780 --> 00:00:11.120
 Have you caught a glimpse of God's glory and grace yet?

00:00:12.179 --> 00:00:16.179
 We have passed through the junction of chapter 39

00:00:16.179 --> 00:00:20.480
 where Isaiah addresses God's people

00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:24.500
 as they face the imminent threat of the Assyrian emperor,

00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:25.980
 Aidan.

00:00:26.580 --> 00:00:27.080
 Thank you.

00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:33.280
 And we passed this junction to where now Isaiah addresses God's people

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:37.659
 as refugees in exile from chapter 40 onward.

00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:42.000
 We have seen glimpses of God's glory and grace

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:50.420
 through God's holiness, present kingship, rules, judgment, rest, delivery, and arrival.

00:00:51.899 --> 00:00:55.820
 Please visit our webpage or our YouTube channel

00:00:55.820 --> 00:00:59.460
 to revisit those sermons until you see them,

00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:01.920
 until you see the glory of God,

00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:03.759
 the God's glory and grace,

00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:08.920
 especially if you recently joined us or watching us online.

00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:14.760
 As Tim Chester very helpfully summarized for us in this book,

00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.640
 we need to study Isaiah at least for the following seven reasons.

00:01:20.500 --> 00:01:22.460
 It enlarges our view of God,

00:01:23.140 --> 00:01:24.960
 enriches our love for Christ,

00:01:25.900 --> 00:01:27.780
 sharpen our understanding of salvation,

00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:30.000
 illuminates our Bible reading,

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:32.359
 comforts our fear and sorrows,

00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.359
 excites our vision for the church,

00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:36.799
 and fuels our commitment to mission.

00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:41.739
 These are what you can and should look for as you read Isaiah.

00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.079
 More than any other book in the Old Testament,

00:01:45.539 --> 00:01:49.480
 Isaiah forms a bridge between the Old Testament and the New Testament.

00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:55.020
 And only hearing a 20 to 30 minute sermon each Sunday

00:01:55.020 --> 00:02:00.439
 will not be enough for you to see that and to appreciate this link.

00:02:00.980 --> 00:02:05.100
 So please pick up your Bible during the week and read Isaiah for yourself.

00:02:05.659 --> 00:02:08.920
 You can buy this book by Tim Chester called Isaiah for You,

00:02:09.500 --> 00:02:15.759
 or you can also use this study guide with guided questions for your reflection as you read.

00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:20.620
 We can email this to you if you give us your detail

00:02:20.620 --> 00:02:24.340
 using the link in our description in the live stream,

00:02:24.679 --> 00:02:28.539
 or just fill in the form in the iPad outside on our Connect desk.

00:02:29.699 --> 00:02:35.659
 Today, I hope to show you God's glory and grace in his victory

00:02:35.659 --> 00:02:39.199
 as we look into chapter 43 in more detail.

00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:44.459
 So please turn your Bible to chapter 43 or open our St. Paul's app.

00:02:44.460 --> 00:02:52.740
 You'll find in chapter 43 themes that contain throughout chapter 40 to 48.

00:02:53.620 --> 00:02:56.439
 The chapter can be divided into two sessions.

00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.460
 Both sessions start up with the new Exodus.

00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:02.939
 The former session followed by God in child,

00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:06.260
 and the later session, human in child.

00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.640
 And that will be the structure of today.

00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:18.799
 The Exodus language appears in verse 1 to 7 and 14 to 21,

00:03:19.359 --> 00:03:20.859
 starting both sessions saying,

00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:22.439
 this is what the Lord says,

00:03:23.219 --> 00:03:26.579
 and finishing with God mentioning the people he formed.

00:03:27.939 --> 00:03:33.239
 They both refer to God as our Creator, Redeemer, and the Holy One.

00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:39.740
 God led his people out of Egypt through the water and river into the promised land.

00:03:40.260 --> 00:03:44.379
 He wiped out their enemy and provided food and water for them.

00:03:45.180 --> 00:03:51.600
 He will do it again about 70 years after their exile to Babylon.

00:03:53.680 --> 00:04:00.800
 It's around 200 years from when God's people initially heed these promises of delivery.

00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:08.760
 God redeemed his people from slavery in Egypt to form a new nation.

00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:15.420
 The same promise and operation will take place in the future.

00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:19.600
 God will gather his people back to him through a new Exodus.

00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:24.680
 God sent his people into exile as judgment against their sin,

00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:26.800
 for they will not follow his way.

00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:28.560
 They do not obey his law.

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:34.259
 But the gathering is not just referring to the return of God from Babylon.

00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:39.360
 God will gather his people from the east and west,

00:04:40.180 --> 00:04:42.660
 north and south, from the end of the earth.

00:04:43.540 --> 00:04:47.360
 The promise of a new Exodus, the delivery from God's judgment,

00:04:47.699 --> 00:04:50.680
 is not just for God's people in Isaiah's time.

00:04:51.660 --> 00:04:56.480
 God will show his mercy and grace and keep redeeming for his glory.

00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.720
 And most remarkably, he says,

00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:04.700
 I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.

00:05:05.500 --> 00:05:08.759
 Since you are precious and honor in my sight,

00:05:09.200 --> 00:05:13.580
 and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you,

00:05:14.020 --> 00:05:16.000
 nations in exchange for your life.

00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:27.439
 God loves the people he created for his glory,

00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:29.379
 whom he formed and made.

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.560
 He will continue to give people a nation in exchange for them.

00:05:35.740 --> 00:05:40.139
 God accomplished the new Exodus by doing an exchange,

00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:42.800
 substituting one for the other.

00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.259
 In the book of John in the New Testament,

00:05:47.259 --> 00:05:50.879
 it tells us that the person that God gave up in exchange for us

00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:53.720
 and to give us new life is Jesus.

00:05:54.819 --> 00:05:56.120
 John 3.16 says,

00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:00.120
 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,

00:06:00.579 --> 00:06:04.340
 that whomever believed in him shall not perish,

00:06:04.780 --> 00:06:06.079
 but have eternal life.

00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:11.639
 Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment of God's promise

00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:17.040
 of a more significant, better Exodus from slavery and death.

00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:22.480
 God promised in Isaiah 43.19 that,

00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:27.400
 I am making a way in the wilderness and a stream in the wasteland.

00:06:28.540 --> 00:06:34.960
 Jesus, in John 14, referred to himself as the way, the truth, and the life.

00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:39.000
 In both John 4.7,

00:06:39.500 --> 00:06:42.460
 Jesus referred to himself as the living water

00:06:42.460 --> 00:06:44.740
 that will cringe all human thirst.

00:06:44.740 --> 00:06:50.480
 The writers of the New Testament see Jesus as a redeemer

00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:53.040
 who set us free to lead us back to God.

00:06:53.939 --> 00:06:56.579
 Last Sunday, when we looked into Isaiah 40,

00:06:57.319 --> 00:06:59.879
 we highlighted how Mark's gospel

00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:02.560
 began to announce the end of exile

00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:06.759
 and how Jesus was referred to as the Passover lamb.

00:07:08.019 --> 00:07:12.480
 Based on Isaiah's proclamation of God's promise,

00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:17.000
 writer in the New Testament could interpret what Jesus accomplished

00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:21.520
 as the ultimate Exodus of liberation from sin and death.

00:07:22.620 --> 00:07:24.120
 Throughout the New Testament,

00:07:24.540 --> 00:07:28.280
 the work of Jesus is described using New Exodus language.

00:07:29.420 --> 00:07:32.600
 At the Transfiguration in Luke chapter 9,

00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:38.780
 Jesus, Moses, and Elijah spoke about Jesus' departure,

00:07:38.779 --> 00:07:41.459
 which in Greek means Exodus.

00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:47.339
 Luke's account of the Last Supper in chapter 22

00:07:47.339 --> 00:07:49.319
 referenced the Passover lamb,

00:07:49.659 --> 00:07:53.139
 Passover because Jesus is a true Passover lamb

00:07:53.139 --> 00:07:57.559
 whose blood redeemed us from sin and protect us from death.

00:07:58.939 --> 00:08:01.599
 Paul and Peter also wrote their letters

00:08:01.599 --> 00:08:03.759
 with the Exodus model in mind.

00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.219
 God's people were given a promise of hope

00:08:07.219 --> 00:08:10.480
 that their exiles of judgment will come to an end.

00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:13.399
 This promise is also offered to us

00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:15.399
 with the same intimacy

00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:19.219
 as spoken in verse 2 to 5 in Isaiah 43.

00:08:19.220 --> 00:08:40.100
 Maybe you feel like you're sinking

00:08:40.100 --> 00:08:42.620
 or being overwhelmed by life

00:08:42.620 --> 00:08:44.700
 or you're feeling the heat

00:08:44.700 --> 00:08:46.860
 of all the troubles that are happening.

00:08:46.860 --> 00:08:51.340
 If the thought of God coming to you

00:08:51.340 --> 00:08:54.440
 scares you more than bringing you joy,

00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:57.919
 maybe there is something in your past

00:08:57.919 --> 00:08:59.379
 that caused you to worry about

00:08:59.379 --> 00:09:00.860
 whether God still loves you.

00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.820
 God is telling you to forget the formal things.

00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:07.539
 Do not dwell in the past.

00:09:08.100 --> 00:09:09.720
 See, I am doing a new thing.

00:09:10.060 --> 00:09:11.180
 Now it's springing up.

00:09:11.580 --> 00:09:13.879
 Do you not perceive it.

00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.120
 The past is helpful for certain things,

00:09:18.439 --> 00:09:19.919
 which I will talk about later.

00:09:20.500 --> 00:09:23.120
 But God has repeatedly reminded his people

00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:25.139
 to forget the formal things

00:09:25.139 --> 00:09:26.519
 and not to dwell on the past

00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:28.460
 because many of God's people

00:09:28.460 --> 00:09:32.379
 often have eyes but are blind,

00:09:32.860 --> 00:09:34.399
 have ears but are deaf,

00:09:34.620 --> 00:09:36.019
 as stated in verse 8.

00:09:36.019 --> 00:09:41.159
 Human do not perceive the work of God

00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.220
 in their life and the world

00:09:43.220 --> 00:09:46.240
 because humans have a very small

00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:47.919
 and limited view of God.

00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:50.860
 We do not see God as who he is.

00:09:52.100 --> 00:09:54.779
 So God is taking a nation to court.

00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:58.019
 We do not see...

00:09:58.019 --> 00:10:00.179
 He put himself on trial,

00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:04.299
 bringing accusation against the other gods

00:10:04.299 --> 00:10:06.639
 and ideology of the world,

00:10:07.179 --> 00:10:10.379
 ultimately challenging our perception of him.

00:10:12.059 --> 00:10:15.199
 All the nations gather together

00:10:15.199 --> 00:10:16.600
 in the people's assembly,

00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:19.000
 which of their gods foretold this

00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:21.100
 and proclaim to us the former things.

00:10:21.620 --> 00:10:23.120
 Let them bring in their weakness

00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:24.759
 to prove they are right

00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:27.879
 so that others may hear and say it is true.

00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:31.840
 God lays out the evidence of his credentials

00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:33.840
 in verse 10 to 13,

00:10:34.299 --> 00:10:35.620
 and this is what he says.

00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:37.759
 I am the creator.

00:10:38.460 --> 00:10:40.399
 Before me, no God was formed,

00:10:40.899 --> 00:10:42.519
 nor will there be one after me.

00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.240
 All other gods or ideologies are man-made.

00:10:47.100 --> 00:10:51.639
 God goes into details in chapter 40 to 46

00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:55.220
 as to the foolishness and delusion

00:10:55.220 --> 00:10:59.899
 of those who create idols of God's creation.

00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:02.199
 He goes on to say,

00:11:02.340 --> 00:11:03.059
 I am the savior.

00:11:03.860 --> 00:11:05.840
 Apart from me, there's no savior.

00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:07.960
 God alone can save.

00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:11.139
 I am not some foreign god among you.

00:11:12.460 --> 00:11:14.120
 Even though God's people

00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:16.879
 often mistake others to be their savior,

00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:18.439
 but in reality,

00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.039
 it was God who has saved them.

00:11:22.379 --> 00:11:23.939
 God is a revealer.

00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:26.179
 I have revealed and proclaimed.

00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:28.720
 God has spoken through his prophets,

00:11:29.439 --> 00:11:31.980
 his son, and in his word.

00:11:32.740 --> 00:11:35.159
 Only God can talk about the future.

00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:38.340
 Which of their gods foretold this

00:11:38.340 --> 00:11:40.480
 and proclaim to us the former things?

00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:43.259
 God alone is a true God

00:11:43.259 --> 00:11:45.379
 because he can predict the future,

00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:47.519
 and he can predict the future

00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:49.939
 because he determines the future.

00:11:49.940 --> 00:11:54.500
 God is a sovereign king.

00:11:55.280 --> 00:11:56.600
 No one can deliver me,

00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:58.600
 deliver out of my hand

00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.720
 when I ask who can reserve it.

00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:05.740
 No God can undo the work of God

00:12:05.740 --> 00:12:07.720
 throughout the history of mankind.

00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.560
 God alone is the creator,

00:12:12.560 --> 00:12:12.980
 savior,

00:12:13.700 --> 00:12:14.300
 revealer,

00:12:14.300 --> 00:12:15.139
 and king.

00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:17.580
 No one else can create,

00:12:18.379 --> 00:12:18.920
 recreate,

00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:20.379
 save,

00:12:20.980 --> 00:12:21.440
 reveal,

00:12:21.899 --> 00:12:22.460
 and reign.

00:12:22.460 --> 00:12:26.060
 God is unique,

00:12:26.060 --> 00:12:27.740
 and there's no other like him.

00:12:28.540 --> 00:12:29.920
 He's mighty to save

00:12:29.920 --> 00:12:31.480
 and worthy of all

00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:33.420
 of our following and praise.

00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:35.660
 Is that how you see God?

00:12:35.659 --> 00:12:38.159
 What kind of God

00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:39.839
 are you presenting to the world?

00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:44.100
 When people look at your life,

00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:45.379
 is God just like

00:12:45.379 --> 00:12:47.199
 any other idol

00:12:47.199 --> 00:12:49.379
 people use to fill in their life?

00:12:50.659 --> 00:12:52.120
 Like some vending machine

00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:54.439
 that you put in your good deeds

00:12:54.439 --> 00:12:56.620
 in exchange for comfort and peace.

00:12:59.419 --> 00:13:01.639
 These are essential questions

00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:03.879
 because God has chosen us

00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:05.679
 to be his servant and witness.

00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:09.039
 God's people are living proof

00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:12.120
 that God and God alone can save.

00:13:13.259 --> 00:13:14.379
 You are my witness

00:13:14.379 --> 00:13:15.600
 and my servant

00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:16.720
 whom I have chosen

00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:18.460
 so that you might know

00:13:18.460 --> 00:13:19.319
 and believe me

00:13:19.319 --> 00:13:21.000
 and understand that I am he.

00:13:21.500 --> 00:13:22.740
 You are my witness

00:13:22.740 --> 00:13:24.139
 that I am God,

00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:24.840
 yes,

00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:27.000
 and from ancient days

00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:27.759
 I am he.

00:13:29.659 --> 00:13:30.620
 What you tell

00:13:30.620 --> 00:13:32.000
 or show people

00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:33.899
 about your experience of God

00:13:33.899 --> 00:13:35.659
 in your daily life,

00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:38.000
 in your testimony you give,

00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:40.259
 in how you treat your colleagues,

00:13:40.779 --> 00:13:41.299
 classmates,

00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:42.519
 neighbors,

00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:43.399
 and friends

00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:45.120
 are all the reviews

00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:46.440
 that you provide

00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:47.860
 for God before humanity.

00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:50.500
 Testifying to God

00:13:50.500 --> 00:13:51.480
 before humanity

00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:53.340
 is a role of Christian

00:13:53.340 --> 00:13:54.639
 and God's church.

00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:56.440
 No matter how long

00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:57.440
 you have been a Christian,

00:13:58.220 --> 00:13:59.620
 whether on a staff team

00:13:59.620 --> 00:14:00.659
 or as a leader,

00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:02.500
 Christians are chosen

00:14:02.500 --> 00:14:03.600
 to be God's witness

00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:05.060
 without exception.

00:14:07.220 --> 00:14:07.799
 God has done

00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:09.500
 what no other God can do

00:14:09.500 --> 00:14:11.360
 and what he has done

00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.240
 no other God can undo.

00:14:14.179 --> 00:14:15.879
 If God has trusted you

00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:17.360
 to witness for him,

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:19.639
 why spend so much time thinking,

00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:21.100
 am I good enough

00:14:21.100 --> 00:14:21.840
 to do the job?

00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:25.019
 God has chosen you

00:14:25.019 --> 00:14:25.800
 and knows

00:14:25.800 --> 00:14:26.680
 what he can do

00:14:26.680 --> 00:14:28.399
 with you.

00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:30.120
 It's a worry

00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:30.660
 about whether

00:14:30.660 --> 00:14:31.879
 you will do a good job,

00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:34.340
 more of a concern

00:14:34.340 --> 00:14:35.960
 about saving your faith

00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:37.460
 and looking competent

00:14:37.460 --> 00:14:38.300
 before people

00:14:38.300 --> 00:14:40.019
 than helping others

00:14:40.019 --> 00:14:41.740
 to catch glimpses

00:14:41.740 --> 00:14:42.759
 of God's glory

00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:43.340
 and grace.

00:14:43.340 --> 00:14:45.980
 If the creator,

00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:47.180
 savior,

00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:47.920
 revealer,

00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:48.440
 and king

00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:50.840
 has faith in you

00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:52.240
 as his witness,

00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:54.980
 your most appropriate

00:14:54.980 --> 00:14:55.840
 response

00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:56.899
 will only be

00:14:56.899 --> 00:14:57.720
 putting your faith

00:14:57.720 --> 00:14:58.200
 in him

00:14:58.200 --> 00:14:59.480
 and asking him

00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:00.240
 to help you

00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:01.560
 to get the job done.

00:15:03.660 --> 00:15:04.940
 So many of us

00:15:04.940 --> 00:15:05.660
 treat God

00:15:05.660 --> 00:15:06.740
 and the role

00:15:06.740 --> 00:15:07.540
 he gives us

00:15:07.540 --> 00:15:08.500
 like the people

00:15:08.500 --> 00:15:09.540
 in Isaiah's time,

00:15:09.539 --> 00:15:11.839
 allowing other things

00:15:11.839 --> 00:15:13.099
 to weary us

00:15:13.099 --> 00:15:14.740
 and see everything

00:15:14.740 --> 00:15:15.559
 as a burden

00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:17.699
 but not bother

00:15:17.699 --> 00:15:18.399
 to ask God

00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:18.980
 for help.

00:15:20.419 --> 00:15:20.980
 Yet,

00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:21.819
 you have not

00:15:21.819 --> 00:15:22.719
 called on me,

00:15:23.019 --> 00:15:23.319
 Jacob.

00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:24.319
 You have not

00:15:24.319 --> 00:15:25.179
 weary yourself

00:15:25.179 --> 00:15:25.679
 for me,

00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:26.120
 Israel.

00:15:27.819 --> 00:15:28.779
 God's demand

00:15:28.779 --> 00:15:30.019
 are not burdensome.

00:15:30.980 --> 00:15:31.500
 He knows

00:15:31.500 --> 00:15:32.500
 what we can handle

00:15:32.500 --> 00:15:33.639
 at different stages

00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:34.379
 of our life.

00:15:35.179 --> 00:15:35.719
 God says

00:15:35.719 --> 00:15:36.620
 in verse 23,

00:15:36.959 --> 00:15:38.039
 I have not burdened you

00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:38.939
 with grain offering,

00:15:38.940 --> 00:15:40.140
 nor weary you

00:15:40.140 --> 00:15:40.780
 with demands

00:15:40.780 --> 00:15:41.540
 for incense.

00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:44.300
 But God states

00:15:44.300 --> 00:15:45.040
 in verse 24

00:15:45.040 --> 00:15:46.600
 that the main issue

00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:48.540
 is not on his side

00:15:48.540 --> 00:15:50.440
 but what humanity

00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:50.980
 is doing

00:15:50.980 --> 00:15:51.880
 with our life.

00:15:53.060 --> 00:15:53.980
 You have burdened me

00:15:53.980 --> 00:15:54.780
 with your sins

00:15:54.780 --> 00:15:55.620
 and weary me

00:15:55.620 --> 00:15:56.680
 with your offenses.

00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:00.360
 It's not God's demand

00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:01.460
 that are burdensome

00:16:01.460 --> 00:16:03.240
 but our action,

00:16:03.920 --> 00:16:05.100
 our way of life,

00:16:05.640 --> 00:16:06.580
 and our attitude

00:16:06.580 --> 00:16:08.040
 regarding sins

00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:09.159
 and towards God

00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:10.779
 that need to be examined.

00:16:12.839 --> 00:16:13.399
 So,

00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:14.639
 after putting himself

00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:15.299
 on trial,

00:16:15.860 --> 00:16:16.559
 God now

00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:17.639
 put humanity

00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:18.259
 on trial

00:16:18.259 --> 00:16:19.799
 to address

00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:20.939
 the accusation

00:16:20.939 --> 00:16:21.699
 against him

00:16:21.699 --> 00:16:23.120
 and put the record

00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:23.579
 straight.

00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:26.259
 Refill the past

00:16:26.259 --> 00:16:26.699
 for me.

00:16:27.259 --> 00:16:28.039
 Let's argue

00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:28.980
 the matters together.

00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:30.299
 Stay the case

00:16:30.299 --> 00:16:31.360
 for your innocence.

00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:33.259
 As I say,

00:16:33.580 --> 00:16:34.740
 the past is helpful

00:16:34.740 --> 00:16:37.060
 to a certain point.

00:16:37.419 --> 00:16:38.060
 It's helpful

00:16:38.060 --> 00:16:39.019
 as a reference point

00:16:39.019 --> 00:16:39.440
 for us

00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:40.779
 to see what God

00:16:40.779 --> 00:16:41.340
 has done

00:16:41.340 --> 00:16:42.279
 and reveal

00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:43.580
 how we have

00:16:43.580 --> 00:16:44.399
 treated God.

00:16:45.779 --> 00:16:46.960
 And when humans do,

00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:48.560
 what does humanity

00:16:48.560 --> 00:16:50.080
 have to show

00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:50.899
 for their innocence?

00:16:53.700 --> 00:16:54.620
 Very little.

00:16:54.620 --> 00:16:57.039
 There's no case

00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:57.679
 for human,

00:16:57.799 --> 00:16:58.320
 humanity

00:16:58.320 --> 00:16:59.159
 is in innocence.

00:17:01.019 --> 00:17:01.759
 Your first father

00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:02.240
 sinned,

00:17:02.740 --> 00:17:03.399
 those I sent

00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:03.980
 to teach you

00:17:03.980 --> 00:17:05.140
 rebels against me.

00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:06.920
 Since Adam

00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:08.299
 rebels against God,

00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:09.599
 the world

00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:10.279
 is broken

00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:11.180
 by sin

00:17:11.180 --> 00:17:12.279
 and everything

00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:13.579
 is falling apart.

00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:15.900
 Looking through history,

00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:17.380
 no one could support

00:17:17.380 --> 00:17:18.519
 the case of innocence,

00:17:19.140 --> 00:17:20.480
 not even Abraham,

00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:21.440
 whom God

00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:22.359
 credited as righteous.

00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:24.379
 And the final

00:17:24.379 --> 00:17:24.779
 verdict

00:17:24.779 --> 00:17:25.839
 on humanity

00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:26.719
 is destruction

00:17:26.719 --> 00:17:27.939
 as mentioned

00:17:27.939 --> 00:17:29.000
 in verse 28.

00:17:30.379 --> 00:17:30.939
 Destruction

00:17:30.939 --> 00:17:32.319
 is what humanity

00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:32.959
 deserves,

00:17:33.459 --> 00:17:34.259
 but that's not

00:17:34.259 --> 00:17:34.699
 the end

00:17:34.699 --> 00:17:35.639
 of God's trial

00:17:35.639 --> 00:17:36.679
 of humankind.

00:17:38.059 --> 00:17:38.759
 There's a crucial

00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:39.299
 first

00:17:39.299 --> 00:17:40.319
 before God

00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:40.859
 calls us

00:17:40.859 --> 00:17:41.839
 to reveal the past

00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:42.619
 that we need

00:17:42.619 --> 00:17:43.279
 to look at.

00:17:43.979 --> 00:17:44.639
 God says

00:17:44.639 --> 00:17:45.839
 in verse 25,

00:17:46.779 --> 00:17:47.319
 I,

00:17:47.539 --> 00:17:48.179
 even I,

00:17:48.479 --> 00:17:48.939
 am the one

00:17:48.939 --> 00:17:49.579
 who brought out

00:17:49.579 --> 00:17:50.319
 your transgression

00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:51.819
 for my own sake.

00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:52.939
 And remember

00:17:52.939 --> 00:17:53.419
 your sin

00:17:53.419 --> 00:17:54.019
 no more.

00:17:55.459 --> 00:17:56.339
 As I have

00:17:56.339 --> 00:17:57.179
 explained earlier,

00:17:57.439 --> 00:17:58.099
 before God

00:17:58.099 --> 00:17:59.299
 examines our case

00:17:59.299 --> 00:18:00.879
 of inevitable defeat,

00:18:01.500 --> 00:18:02.219
 even before

00:18:02.219 --> 00:18:03.159
 any evidence

00:18:03.159 --> 00:18:03.919
 is presented,

00:18:04.459 --> 00:18:05.119
 and with such

00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:05.959
 an undeniable

00:18:05.959 --> 00:18:06.439
 verdict,

00:18:06.919 --> 00:18:07.899
 God already

00:18:07.899 --> 00:18:09.099
 has a substitution

00:18:09.099 --> 00:18:10.740
 to take our place.

00:18:11.659 --> 00:18:12.459
 Jesus steps

00:18:12.459 --> 00:18:13.959
 into humanity

00:18:13.959 --> 00:18:15.819
 and takes our place

00:18:15.819 --> 00:18:16.419
 in the judgment.

00:18:17.779 --> 00:18:18.319
 There will be

00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:18.939
 a final day

00:18:18.939 --> 00:18:19.399
 of judgment,

00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:20.720
 but for God's

00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:21.060
 people,

00:18:21.420 --> 00:18:21.860
 the trial

00:18:21.860 --> 00:18:22.540
 is over.

00:18:23.220 --> 00:18:23.759
 It's done

00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:24.300
 and dusted

00:18:24.300 --> 00:18:25.759
 with the death

00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:26.580
 and resurrection

00:18:26.580 --> 00:18:27.140
 of Jesus,

00:18:28.100 --> 00:18:28.980
 with the judgment

00:18:28.980 --> 00:18:30.040
 falling on Jesus

00:18:30.040 --> 00:18:30.720
 and him

00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:31.640
 taking our place.

00:18:32.280 --> 00:18:32.500
 God

00:18:32.500 --> 00:18:33.200
 blocked out

00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:34.300
 our transgression

00:18:34.300 --> 00:18:35.900
 and remembers

00:18:35.900 --> 00:18:36.420
 our sin

00:18:36.420 --> 00:18:37.019
 no more.

00:18:38.180 --> 00:18:39.200
 In Romans

00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:39.580
 4,

00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:40.140
 25,

00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:40.640
 it says,

00:18:41.360 --> 00:18:41.980
 he was delivered

00:18:41.980 --> 00:18:42.820
 over to death

00:18:42.820 --> 00:18:43.759
 for our sins

00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:44.759
 and was straight

00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:45.359
 to life

00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:46.220
 for our

00:18:46.220 --> 00:18:47.039
 justification.

00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:49.599
 The not guilty

00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:50.039
 verdict

00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:51.000
 has already

00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:52.240
 been delivered.

00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:54.720
 The examination

00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:55.559
 is over

00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:56.440
 and we have

00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:56.920
 passed

00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:58.319
 with full marks

00:18:58.319 --> 00:18:59.119
 because

00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:00.980
 we got the

00:19:00.980 --> 00:19:01.539
 grade that

00:19:01.539 --> 00:19:02.579
 Jesus deserved.

00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:04.519
 In verse 25

00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:05.299
 tell us that

00:19:05.299 --> 00:19:06.559
 God blocks out

00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:07.420
 our transgression

00:19:07.420 --> 00:19:08.980
 for his own sake.

00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:11.220
 God sent Jesus

00:19:11.220 --> 00:19:12.240
 for our sake

00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:13.640
 to meet our need

00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:14.640
 for a redeemer.

00:19:15.420 --> 00:19:16.200
 But he also sent

00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:17.759
 Jesus for his own sake

00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:19.440
 that is to reveal

00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:20.039
 his glory

00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:20.700
 and grace.

00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:23.099
 God promised

00:19:23.099 --> 00:19:24.480
 not to remember

00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:24.980
 your sins

00:19:24.980 --> 00:19:25.579
 no more

00:19:25.579 --> 00:19:27.039
 and that's all

00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:27.779
 the more reason

00:19:27.779 --> 00:19:28.940
 why we should forget

00:19:28.940 --> 00:19:29.819
 the former things

00:19:29.819 --> 00:19:30.980
 and do not dwell

00:19:30.980 --> 00:19:31.680
 on the past.

00:19:32.579 --> 00:19:33.640
 So don't be

00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:34.319
 better

00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:35.720
 at remembering

00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:36.440
 your sin

00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:37.279
 than God is.

00:19:39.460 --> 00:19:40.059
 Jesus

00:19:40.059 --> 00:19:41.240
 gave

00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:42.039
 the best

00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:42.559
 witness

00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:43.380
 of God's

00:19:43.380 --> 00:19:43.620
 glory

00:19:43.620 --> 00:19:44.160
 and grace

00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:45.120
 of how much

00:19:45.120 --> 00:19:45.980
 God loves you

00:19:45.980 --> 00:19:46.559
 and me.

00:19:47.380 --> 00:19:48.099
 God says

00:19:48.099 --> 00:19:48.839
 in verse 10

00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:49.559
 you are my

00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:49.960
 witness

00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:50.900
 and my servant

00:19:50.900 --> 00:19:51.500
 whom I have

00:19:51.500 --> 00:19:51.880
 chosen

00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:52.940
 so that you

00:19:52.940 --> 00:19:53.400
 may know

00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:53.900
 and believe

00:19:53.900 --> 00:19:54.140
 me

00:19:54.140 --> 00:19:54.759
 and understand

00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:55.660
 that I am

00:19:55.660 --> 00:19:55.940
 he.

00:19:57.339 --> 00:19:58.200
 The more

00:19:58.200 --> 00:19:59.099
 you witness

00:19:59.099 --> 00:19:59.960
 and serve

00:19:59.960 --> 00:20:00.420
 God

00:20:00.420 --> 00:20:01.460
 in your life

00:20:01.460 --> 00:20:02.420
 and by your

00:20:02.420 --> 00:20:02.960
 proclamation

00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:04.299
 the more

00:20:04.299 --> 00:20:05.220
 you will

00:20:05.220 --> 00:20:05.920
 know

00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:07.019
 and believe

00:20:07.019 --> 00:20:07.819
 and understand

00:20:07.819 --> 00:20:08.440
 that God

00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:09.019
 is true

00:20:09.019 --> 00:20:10.279
 and it's

00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:10.759
 your heavenly

00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:11.240
 father

00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:12.259
 who treasure

00:20:12.259 --> 00:20:12.940
 and loves

00:20:12.940 --> 00:20:13.180
 you.

00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:16.119
 After the

00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:17.000
 pastor and

00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:17.639
 theologian

00:20:17.639 --> 00:20:18.359
 Tim Keller

00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:20.460
 passed away

00:20:20.460 --> 00:20:20.920
 a few years

00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:21.200
 ago

00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:22.579
 many people

00:20:22.579 --> 00:20:23.319
 wrote tribute

00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:24.000
 about his

00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:24.639
 impact on

00:20:24.639 --> 00:20:24.900
 them.

00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:26.460
 Trish

00:20:26.460 --> 00:20:26.940
 Warren

00:20:26.940 --> 00:20:28.460
 a New York

00:20:28.460 --> 00:20:28.920
 Time

00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:29.759
 columnist

00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:30.740
 said Tim

00:20:30.740 --> 00:20:31.000
 Keller

00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:31.639
 showed her

00:20:31.639 --> 00:20:32.299
 what a

00:20:32.299 --> 00:20:32.879
 Christian

00:20:32.879 --> 00:20:33.299
 leader

00:20:33.299 --> 00:20:33.879
 should be.

00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:35.420
 witness

00:20:35.420 --> 00:20:35.760
 Tim

00:20:35.760 --> 00:20:36.080
 Keller

00:20:36.080 --> 00:20:37.060
 in a

00:20:37.060 --> 00:20:37.500
 public

00:20:37.500 --> 00:20:38.020
 debate

00:20:38.020 --> 00:20:38.820
 with a

00:20:38.820 --> 00:20:39.160
 secular

00:20:39.160 --> 00:20:39.860
 humanist

00:20:39.860 --> 00:20:41.280
 in her

00:20:41.280 --> 00:20:41.560
 early

00:20:41.560 --> 00:20:42.220
 twenties.

00:20:43.560 --> 00:20:44.080
 At one

00:20:44.080 --> 00:20:44.540
 moment

00:20:44.540 --> 00:20:45.540
 Keller's

00:20:45.540 --> 00:20:45.960
 opponent

00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:46.520
 struggled

00:20:46.520 --> 00:20:46.980
 with the

00:20:46.980 --> 00:20:47.380
 point he

00:20:47.380 --> 00:20:47.920
 was making

00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:48.600
 and was

00:20:48.600 --> 00:20:49.000
 fair and

00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:49.380
 clear.

00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:51.160
 Keller

00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:51.560
 did not

00:20:51.560 --> 00:20:52.000
 go in

00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:52.340
 for the

00:20:52.340 --> 00:20:52.640
 cue

00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:53.400
 making

00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:53.560
 his

00:20:53.560 --> 00:20:54.320
 opponent

00:20:54.320 --> 00:20:54.700
 look

00:20:54.700 --> 00:20:55.160
 foolish

00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:55.820
 instead

00:20:55.820 --> 00:20:56.580
 he paused

00:20:56.580 --> 00:20:57.440
 and asked

00:20:57.440 --> 00:20:58.240
 is this

00:20:58.240 --> 00:20:58.620
 what you

00:20:58.620 --> 00:20:58.980
 mean?

00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:00.340
 Restating

00:21:00.340 --> 00:21:01.140
 and strengthening

00:21:01.140 --> 00:21:01.800
 the argument

00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:03.639
 more precisely

00:21:03.639 --> 00:21:04.919
 before his

00:21:04.919 --> 00:21:05.720
 countering.

00:21:06.159 --> 00:21:06.659
 She says

00:21:06.659 --> 00:21:07.399
 this in

00:21:07.399 --> 00:21:08.259
 her tribute

00:21:08.259 --> 00:21:09.659
 this generosity

00:21:09.659 --> 00:21:10.919
 and understanding

00:21:10.919 --> 00:21:11.819
 towards those

00:21:11.819 --> 00:21:12.599
 with whom

00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:13.419
 we disagree

00:21:13.419 --> 00:21:14.619
 helped shape

00:21:14.619 --> 00:21:15.079
 the way

00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:15.859
 I now see

00:21:15.859 --> 00:21:16.339
 the world.

00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:17.599
 It had more

00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:18.379
 of an impact

00:21:18.379 --> 00:21:18.899
 on me

00:21:18.899 --> 00:21:19.539
 as a

00:21:19.539 --> 00:21:19.919
 Christian

00:21:19.919 --> 00:21:20.940
 than any

00:21:20.940 --> 00:21:21.500
 argument

00:21:21.500 --> 00:21:21.919
 could.

00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:23.200
 Keller

00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:23.759
 refused

00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:24.879
 to easily

00:21:24.879 --> 00:21:25.700
 refuse

00:21:25.700 --> 00:21:26.220
 the easy

00:21:26.220 --> 00:21:26.700
 route of

00:21:26.700 --> 00:21:27.159
 debate

00:21:27.159 --> 00:21:28.220
 insisting

00:21:28.220 --> 00:21:28.799
 on finding

00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:29.519
 the best

00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:30.039
 argument

00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:30.759
 of others

00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:31.500
 even

00:21:31.500 --> 00:21:32.019
 it means

00:21:32.019 --> 00:21:32.559
 strengthening

00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:32.920
 his

00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:33.579
 opponent's

00:21:33.579 --> 00:21:33.879
 case.

00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:34.660
 He was

00:21:34.660 --> 00:21:35.180
 in pursuit

00:21:35.180 --> 00:21:36.099
 for truth

00:21:36.099 --> 00:21:37.460
 and kindness

00:21:37.460 --> 00:21:38.299
 not

00:21:38.299 --> 00:21:38.660
 point

00:21:38.660 --> 00:21:39.019
 scoring.

00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:40.859
 That night

00:21:40.859 --> 00:21:42.099
 I saw

00:21:42.099 --> 00:21:42.920
 what Christian

00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:43.319
 leaders

00:21:43.319 --> 00:21:43.700
 should be

00:21:43.700 --> 00:21:44.059
 like.

00:21:46.140 --> 00:21:46.940
 With his

00:21:46.940 --> 00:21:47.339
 life

00:21:47.339 --> 00:21:48.140
 Tim Keller

00:21:48.140 --> 00:21:48.960
 testified to

00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:49.279
 God's

00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:49.740
 victory

00:21:49.740 --> 00:21:50.400
 through

00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:50.859
 Christ

00:21:50.859 --> 00:21:51.240
 to the

00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:51.519
 world.

00:21:52.740 --> 00:21:53.059
 We are

00:21:53.059 --> 00:21:53.299
 not

00:21:53.299 --> 00:21:53.500
 Tim

00:21:53.500 --> 00:21:53.740
 Keller

00:21:53.740 --> 00:21:55.299
 and many

00:21:55.299 --> 00:21:55.940
 of us

00:21:55.940 --> 00:21:56.339
 rarely

00:21:56.339 --> 00:21:57.160
 engage

00:21:57.160 --> 00:21:57.660
 in public

00:21:57.660 --> 00:21:58.279
 debate.

00:21:59.240 --> 00:21:59.720
 However

00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:00.440
 we

00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:00.940
 interact

00:22:00.940 --> 00:22:01.339
 with

00:22:01.339 --> 00:22:01.640
 many

00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:01.960
 people

00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:02.380
 daily

00:22:02.380 --> 00:22:03.559
 having

00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:04.120
 different

00:22:04.120 --> 00:22:05.259
 conversations

00:22:05.259 --> 00:22:05.539
 and

00:22:05.539 --> 00:22:06.019
 discussions

00:22:06.019 --> 00:22:06.680
 with

00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:07.200
 others

00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:08.640
 and

00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:08.880
 most

00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:09.039
 of

00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:09.440
 time

00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:10.079
 with

00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:10.620
 ourselves.

00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:12.460
 At

00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:13.019
 all those

00:22:13.019 --> 00:22:13.600
 moments

00:22:13.600 --> 00:22:15.019
 take

00:22:15.019 --> 00:22:15.559
 comfort

00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:16.559
 and hope

00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:17.720
 in God's

00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:18.299
 glory and

00:22:18.299 --> 00:22:18.680
 grace

00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:19.779
 to treat

00:22:19.779 --> 00:22:20.420
 the past

00:22:20.420 --> 00:22:21.259
 and God

00:22:21.259 --> 00:22:21.980
 in the

00:22:21.980 --> 00:22:22.279
 proper

00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:22.860
 perspective.

00:22:24.579 --> 00:22:25.460
 Remember

00:22:25.460 --> 00:22:26.680
 the victory

00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:27.579
 God has

00:22:27.579 --> 00:22:28.100
 accomplished

00:22:28.100 --> 00:22:28.420
 through

00:22:28.420 --> 00:22:28.860
 Jesus'

00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:29.340
 exodus

00:22:29.340 --> 00:22:30.039
 for us

00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:30.340
 all.

00:22:31.980 --> 00:22:32.420
 And be

00:22:32.420 --> 00:22:32.799
 God's

00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:33.240
 witness

00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:34.220
 that we

00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:34.740
 belong

00:22:34.740 --> 00:22:35.519
 to God's

00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:35.940
 family

00:22:35.940 --> 00:22:37.340
 in God's

00:22:37.340 --> 00:22:37.799
 present

00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:38.860
 and God's

00:22:38.860 --> 00:22:39.220
 future.

00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:41.039
 May God

00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:41.600
 bless you

00:22:41.600 --> 00:22:42.480
 and keep

00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:42.640
 you.

00:22:42.640 --> 00:23:12.620
 Thank you.
