WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.879 It's Christmas time. It's that time of year when presents are under the tree, 00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:10.980 or in our case, hidden away in cupboards so that little fingers don't get to them in advance. 00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:18.100 It's that time when we've spent a fair bit of time, hopefully, in picking out presents, 00:00:18.780 --> 00:00:23.320 taking lots of time to think about it, to get the right present to the right person. 00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:27.940 I've got to say that's particularly not a gift that I have, personally. 00:00:27.940 --> 00:00:35.140 I'm grateful that Nat does most of our present picking in our place, and she often does some great gifts. 00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:43.500 I'm pretty sure that I'm not going to receive any of these gifts tomorrow. 00:00:43.740 --> 00:00:44.760 Pretty confident of that. 00:00:45.060 --> 00:00:47.579 For instance, microphone tongs. 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:54.780 They are for the multitasking kitchen lover person who is quite joyful when they're in the kitchen, 00:00:54.780 --> 00:00:57.140 or the snuggie. 00:00:58.579 --> 00:01:01.340 Sort of reminiscent of a bit of the Vicar of Dibley, I think. 00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:05.519 I kind of feel like I'm cuddling a bishop or something, I think, if I had that. 00:01:05.900 --> 00:01:10.180 Spray on hair, although I believe I might need it soon. 00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.659 It's not something that I suspect I'm going to get. 00:01:13.020 --> 00:01:15.200 Or this one, smoking mittens. 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.020 Not even the cold can keep you away from a cigarette. 00:01:18.019 --> 00:01:21.739 Or there's the coffin couch. 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:25.000 That's pretty hideous, I think. 00:01:26.420 --> 00:01:32.920 Some of us might need emergency underpants, just like a box of tissues. 00:01:33.039 --> 00:01:34.060 Pull them out when you need them. 00:01:35.259 --> 00:01:37.000 Hopefully, they're not as thin as tissues. 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:43.239 And one that I just cannot comprehend why this would be the case for a teenager, 00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.980 this is a teenage one, a school exam simulator. 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:49.640 It's a computer game. 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:51.760 Like, serious. 00:01:52.340 --> 00:01:54.900 Who would buy a school exam simulator? 00:01:55.420 --> 00:02:02.000 Now, not to be outdone, there are some, in fact, worst baby gifts ever that you could possibly give. 00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:04.379 For instance, there's the crib dribbler. 00:02:04.379 --> 00:02:11.419 However, many years ago on a pig farm, we had this sort of stuff for pigs in their pens. 00:02:11.500 --> 00:02:13.319 They could sort of feed themselves wherever they need to. 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:19.099 Of course, when the baby's awake, you can attach the baby mop to them and let them go around the floor. 00:02:20.340 --> 00:02:25.879 If the crib dribbler is not up for you, then there's the bacon baby powder. 00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:28.039 Bacon-flavoured baby powder. 00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:29.280 Now, I'm all for bacon. 00:02:29.859 --> 00:02:32.359 But seriously, bacon-flavoured baby powder. 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:35.160 There's the baby keeper, again, for the multitasker. 00:02:35.220 --> 00:02:39.540 If you don't get the multitasker bum, you just want to sort of hang the kids somewhere. 00:02:39.820 --> 00:02:40.600 Just leave them there. 00:02:41.260 --> 00:02:44.000 For the potty trainers, there's the iPad potty. 00:02:44.980 --> 00:02:46.840 That can be useful, I'd imagine. 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:51.360 Probably slightly inappropriate in northern New South Wales and parts of South Africa 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:55.660 is the shark sleeping suit for the kids. 00:02:56.620 --> 00:03:01.360 There's also, for the wintertime, there's the snug a baby. 00:03:02.460 --> 00:03:03.160 Carry your baby. 00:03:03.940 --> 00:03:06.360 Is that the weirdest thing that you've ever seen? 00:03:06.460 --> 00:03:08.320 Having your baby's head poking up through there. 00:03:08.940 --> 00:03:13.540 Now, if, of course, you don't want to buy any of these gifts but continually want to screw up your children, 00:03:13.660 --> 00:03:17.200 then just get the book, Seven Ways to Traumatise Your Children, 00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:20.079 and just be done with it rather than buy those gifts for them. 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.039 A bunch of weird gifts out there. 00:03:23.839 --> 00:03:27.079 These things make the list of worst Christmas presents ever. 00:03:27.780 --> 00:03:32.000 I wonder if you ever noticed, as Sam read through the Christmas account, though, 00:03:32.539 --> 00:03:38.399 that the gifts that Jesus received, there in verse 11 in Matthew chapter 2, 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:41.139 were pretty strange gifts for him to receive. 00:03:41.139 --> 00:03:46.000 Normally, you'd go, you know, take some Lego, take some flowers, a baby jumpsuit, 00:03:46.059 --> 00:03:47.579 or something useful, or something like that. 00:03:47.939 --> 00:03:50.959 And here, Jesus gets a bunch of strange gifts. 00:03:51.419 --> 00:03:55.979 He's presented with gifts of gold, and of incense, and of myrrh. 00:03:56.619 --> 00:04:03.479 Now, on one level, you could say that as a poor peasant girl, Mary would have been stoked. 00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:08.359 These are expensive gifts that have been brought to her. 00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:12.540 And so this baby comes with a pretty extensive trust fund. 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:19.759 But they would have been sitting there, kind of confused, as these magi came in. 00:04:20.520 --> 00:04:23.960 Gold? A weird gift for a baby. 00:04:24.819 --> 00:04:31.840 It's a gift that you brought to an audience for a king in the ancient Near East. 00:04:32.139 --> 00:04:36.720 Incense was used in temple worship in Jerusalem as a symbol of prayer. 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:38.500 It pointed to a relationship with God. 00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:43.280 And myrrh was used to embalm corpses for funerals. 00:04:45.780 --> 00:04:48.040 It's a gift that speaks of death. 00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:55.920 Imagine one of the presents under my tree tonight for my four-year-old was a little coffin. 00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:01.720 You know, if it wasn't a joke present where the skeleton sort of jumped up and said something, 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.720 just a serious gift, you know, here's a little coffin. 00:05:04.900 --> 00:05:12.440 And there might be days when you kind of wish it, but you sort of think a coffin, it symbolizes death. 00:05:13.640 --> 00:05:15.680 What a strange gift. 00:05:16.200 --> 00:05:18.440 These gifts here are all about Jesus. 00:05:18.980 --> 00:05:21.500 They're about Jesus confronting the world. 00:05:21.500 --> 00:05:28.139 They reveal the significance of who he is, what he came to do, and how he did it. 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:35.920 The first gift stresses the kingship of Jesus, a king at birth. 00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:41.019 The magi ask the question, where is the one born who has been born king of the Jews? 00:05:41.019 --> 00:05:46.639 As we've seen, they brought gifts appropriate for a king, gold. 00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:52.000 And what alerted them to Jesus was, in fact, the second half of verse 2, where it says, 00:05:52.259 --> 00:05:57.039 we saw his star in the east and have come to worship him. 00:05:59.139 --> 00:06:02.979 In the ancient world, most people believed in astrology. 00:06:02.980 --> 00:06:12.860 It's not surprising, the steady course of the stars and the planets represented a settled order in the universe. 00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:19.660 They assumed that astronomical events that were out of the ordinary 00:06:19.660 --> 00:06:26.600 was God breaking into his ordered world to announce something, making some news. 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:35.000 And a particular event in history caused particularly stars to be associated with kings and rulers. 00:06:35.900 --> 00:06:44.020 You see, when Julius Caesar died in 44 BC, one of the most astonishing flukes in history took place. 00:06:45.300 --> 00:06:50.939 A nova appeared in the sky above his funeral. 00:06:50.939 --> 00:07:01.079 And from that moment on, stars were associated with great men, became the fashion. 00:07:03.459 --> 00:07:08.220 And of course, linked with that was this very strong rumor that went around the first century 00:07:08.220 --> 00:07:11.819 that world domination would come out of Judea. 00:07:13.899 --> 00:07:19.579 Famous first century historians like Tacitus and Josephus and Suetonius all recorded it. 00:07:19.579 --> 00:07:28.339 And so it wouldn't be surprising for the Magi to conclude that political changes were on the way when they saw the star. 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:31.039 These Magi, they were wise men. 00:07:31.139 --> 00:07:35.079 They were knowledgeable astrologers and magicians and interpreters of dreams. 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:36.959 They were stargazers. 00:07:38.099 --> 00:07:43.740 And what they saw was most likely the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. 00:07:43.740 --> 00:07:52.379 It happened three times in 7 BC on the 23rd of May, the 3rd of October and the 4th of December. 00:07:53.139 --> 00:07:54.040 Jupiter and Saturn. 00:07:54.540 --> 00:07:56.660 Jupiter was the royal planet. 00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:00.420 Saturn had long been the symbol of Israel. 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:05.300 And so the competent astrologer would have concluded that a new age was beginning 00:08:05.300 --> 00:08:09.460 in which the rule of the world was about to shift to Judea. 00:08:09.459 --> 00:08:14.199 And so they set out for Judea. 00:08:15.599 --> 00:08:19.639 They set out on a long and difficult journey to find the ruler of the world 00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:23.500 and to offer him gifts as the new king of the world. 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:25.759 And so they gave him gold. 00:08:26.719 --> 00:08:29.560 And incense was used by the priests in the temple. 00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:35.220 And so here they were acknowledging that before them was the ultimate priest. 00:08:35.220 --> 00:08:39.139 Jesus is the one who would mediate between God and humanity. 00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:43.860 The one who would bring about a complete reconciliation between God and people. 00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.560 Jesus is the one who would establish that relationship. 00:08:48.660 --> 00:08:51.759 And then myrrh was used to embalm the dead. 00:08:52.740 --> 00:08:56.639 The man born a king was a man born to die. 00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:06.039 That is what he needed to do in order to bring about the reconciliation between God and humanity was to die. 00:09:06.939 --> 00:09:08.840 Jesus would die for the sins of humanity. 00:09:09.340 --> 00:09:09.919 It's interesting. 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:14.919 The title, King of the Jews, is used only twice in Matthew's gospel. 00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.159 It's used here at the birth of Jesus. 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:21.279 And it's used again at the crucifixion of Jesus. 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:29.939 Jesus exercises his kingship by sacrificing himself for us to bring us back into relationship with God. 00:09:30.220 --> 00:09:41.139 And so these strange gifts represent who Jesus is, what he came to do, and what it cost him to do it. 00:09:41.139 --> 00:09:51.319 One thing you notice throughout the historical biographies of Jesus is that whenever Jesus turns up, he divides people. 00:09:53.100 --> 00:09:57.759 People have different opinions about him, much like people do today. 00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:05.319 And here at the very start of his life, we see at least two camps forming. 00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:11.600 One full of praise and welcome, and the other one full of hatred and opposition. 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:17.240 That the Magi and Herod here stand out as polar opposites. 00:10:18.019 --> 00:10:21.120 You see Herod in verse 8, he's just lying through his teeth when he says, 00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:23.519 Go and make a careful search of the child. 00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:29.159 As soon as you find him, report to me so that I too may go and worship him. 00:10:30.019 --> 00:10:30.820 He's lying. 00:10:31.379 --> 00:10:37.560 He has about as much interest in worshipping Jesus as I have in taking up cross-stitching lessons, 00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:40.700 which is very little, I can tell you. 00:10:40.700 --> 00:10:48.680 And we know this because in the rest of Matthew chapter 2, it says that the Herod didn't fool the Magi. 00:10:48.820 --> 00:10:52.080 They sneak off without telling Herod where Jesus is. 00:10:52.220 --> 00:11:00.720 And Herod is so furious that he orders all the boys two years older and under around the vicinity of Bethlehem to be murdered. 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:06.720 That is, Herod wants Jesus to be wiped out. 00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:13.360 You see, Herod doesn't like the news that another king has been born. 00:11:14.540 --> 00:11:18.360 He would have heard the rumours of the new king and he was threatened by it. 00:11:18.680 --> 00:11:24.860 You see, Herod had been appointed by the Romans as king of the Jews for 40 years. 00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:28.080 He was appointed by the Roman Senate in 40 BC. 00:11:28.620 --> 00:11:31.759 He gained control of the whole country in 37 BC. 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:37.639 And he died in 4 BC, most likely not long after this event. 00:11:39.019 --> 00:11:45.600 And he was infamous for his cruelty in which he dealt with possible rivals to his throne. 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:48.019 He killed his favourite wife. 00:11:48.100 --> 00:11:48.620 He had several. 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:56.200 He killed his favourite wife and two of his sons because he had this idea that they were plotting against him to take his throne. 00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.439 And so Herod's response was hatred and fear. 00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:06.660 A hatred of anything or anyone that threatened his self-centredness and his autonomy. 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:12.840 He had a lust for power and control that blunted his better qualities. 00:12:14.700 --> 00:12:19.520 Of course, Herod was spot on about his assessment of all these events. 00:12:19.660 --> 00:12:21.700 Someone more important than him had been born. 00:12:21.800 --> 00:12:28.000 The baby lying in the manger was and is the king of the Jews, but also the king of heaven and earth. 00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:34.960 Jesus is someone so important that he has a right to tell us how to live and demand allegiance. 00:12:35.179 --> 00:12:40.559 Herod certainly got that bit right, but he got it wrong when he thought that Jesus was a political opponent. 00:12:41.340 --> 00:12:45.139 He thought that Jesus was going to get an army and push him around. 00:12:45.139 --> 00:12:51.240 Yes, Jesus is king, but he's a king who came to save and to serve. 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:58.840 When the angels came to Joseph and told him that Mary was pregnant, this is what they said. 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:06.560 She will give birth to a son and you're to give him the name Jesus because he will save his people from their sins. 00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:10.419 And this is exactly what Herod does not understand. 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.279 Herod doesn't see that Jesus came to save and serve. 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.019 And so he is threatened by Jesus. 00:13:17.459 --> 00:13:20.500 And so he acts with dishonesty and brutality. 00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:25.419 Herod is blinded by his arrogance and his sense of self-importance. 00:13:28.659 --> 00:13:37.779 I wonder whether the thought of Jesus being your king, as we have sung a number of times already tonight, gets your bristles up. 00:13:37.779 --> 00:13:45.559 Maybe a little mini Herod fighting a turf war with Jesus in control of your life. 00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.959 Is that your position this Christmas in 2015? 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:53.919 That is that Jesus is a threat to your rule. 00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:04.860 When Queen Victoria ruled as the British monarch in the 1800s, she controlled approximately a third of the world. 00:14:04.860 --> 00:14:10.460 And she said one day that she couldn't wait to meet Jesus. 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:12.320 Why? 00:14:12.899 --> 00:14:17.519 Her response was, so that I can cast my crown before him. 00:14:19.259 --> 00:14:26.899 She recognized that even as one of the most powerful people in the world, she too had a ruler. 00:14:28.259 --> 00:14:32.420 One who deserved her everything, even her crown. 00:14:32.419 --> 00:14:33.419 One who deserved her. 00:14:33.419 --> 00:14:37.240 It was a tough war with Jesus that you cannot win. 00:14:40.459 --> 00:14:43.959 Now Herod isn't the only negative reaction to Jesus here. 00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:50.299 The other reaction is not as strong as Herod's, but it is a negative reaction. 00:14:51.599 --> 00:14:54.479 They're the ones who simply do nothing about Jesus. 00:14:55.500 --> 00:14:58.399 He is a non-entity in their lives. 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:05.439 And this group is remarkably represented by the chief priests and the scribes. 00:15:05.699 --> 00:15:07.879 Notice in verse 4, gathering together. 00:15:07.980 --> 00:15:08.679 This is what Herod does. 00:15:08.779 --> 00:15:16.199 Gathers all together the chief priests and the scribe of the people and inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born. 00:15:17.620 --> 00:15:21.199 These are the guys who are looking for the Messiah to come. 00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:26.819 These are the guys who knew the rumors that something significant was happening. 00:15:26.820 --> 00:15:33.700 And when they tell the Magi, well, that was it. 00:15:34.560 --> 00:15:36.420 It was back to business for them. 00:15:37.100 --> 00:15:46.620 The sheer silence and inactivity of the religious leaders is overwhelming in view of the magnitude of what has happened. 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:48.879 They didn't even lift a sandal. 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:53.080 Why did they not go with the Magi? 00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:56.919 They knew it all. 00:15:58.559 --> 00:15:59.960 But they did nothing. 00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:04.120 They knew their scriptures. 00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:11.220 They had no problem in answering Herod, giving the Magi directions. 00:16:11.220 --> 00:16:15.460 But they missed Jesus. 00:16:16.500 --> 00:16:18.700 They missed God in our midst. 00:16:19.779 --> 00:16:21.500 They didn't go to greet Him. 00:16:22.460 --> 00:16:24.160 They didn't worship Him. 00:16:25.180 --> 00:16:29.200 Their apathy eventually hardened into outright opposition to Jesus. 00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:36.180 And friends, this has got to be a warning for us who hear these stories again and again and again about baby Jesus. 00:16:36.179 --> 00:16:43.219 For he who acknowledge who He is. 00:16:44.259 --> 00:16:50.399 It is quite clear that knowledge of Him is no substitute to obedience of Him. 00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:57.519 What's astonishing is that the positive reaction to Jesus comes from the Magi. 00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:02.120 Because the rest of the Bible, these guys are viewed pretty negatively. 00:17:03.139 --> 00:17:07.220 Only Matthew talks about these guys in positive terms. 00:17:08.259 --> 00:17:14.400 Impressed by what they saw in the sky one night, they packed their bags. 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:23.340 They took a journey of over 1,500 kilometers west of Judea to find out what it all meant. 00:17:24.259 --> 00:17:32.500 It's so astonishing that men with so little to go on should venture so far, endure such hardship in travel, 00:17:32.860 --> 00:17:38.460 and face such uncertainty of actually finding the one to whom the star pointed. 00:17:38.460 --> 00:17:45.120 And what is more, they gave Him costly gifts and the worship and the honor of their hearts. 00:17:47.420 --> 00:17:54.500 Where the religious leaders expended no time, no energy, no expense, no inconvenience. 00:17:54.660 --> 00:18:02.120 Where Herod expended a great deal of time and energy and expense and inconvenience to try and find and kill Jesus. 00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:09.119 The Magi expend a great deal of time and energy and expense and the love of their hearts. 00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:12.739 So that they could worship Jesus and honor Jesus. 00:18:13.879 --> 00:18:16.379 The Magi here are the worshipers. 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:23.039 Those who fully ascribe dignity and authority and honor to King Jesus. 00:18:23.619 --> 00:18:28.819 And whose lives are satisfied in Him as the wisdom of the world. 00:18:28.819 --> 00:18:32.579 These wise men have found their wisdom. 00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:41.559 And so there we have indifference and hostility or worship. 00:18:42.179 --> 00:18:44.179 They're the responses to this Jesus. 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:50.799 And if your response is maybe indifference or maybe even a little bit of hostility, 00:18:51.259 --> 00:18:55.059 I want to make one suggestion this Christmas. 00:18:55.059 --> 00:18:59.279 Now I figure you've got a bunch of stuff on your plate in the next few days. 00:18:59.579 --> 00:19:04.799 But maybe in the near future, you might want to take a look at the issue of who Jesus is, 00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:08.059 what He came to do, and what it cost Him to do it. 00:19:09.819 --> 00:19:13.559 The Magi were the knowledgeable men of the East. 00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:15.839 The Oxford Dons. 00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:19.119 They were the academic elite. 00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:26.739 But their knowledge about these events of the first Christmas took them only so far. 00:19:27.779 --> 00:19:32.899 Their observation of the world, of the star, took them to Jerusalem. 00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:35.359 But that's as far as they got. 00:19:36.199 --> 00:19:40.059 In the end, they had to consult the Scriptures, the Word of God, 00:19:40.139 --> 00:19:42.219 to find out where Jesus was to be born. 00:19:43.479 --> 00:19:45.500 They had to find Jesus through the Bible. 00:19:45.500 --> 00:19:54.339 And so can I encourage you to be like these wise men and go to the source? 00:19:55.140 --> 00:19:59.619 There's a danger in thinking that you've got the Christmas story all worked out 00:19:59.619 --> 00:20:02.859 because you've seen a bunch of nativity scenes in shopping centers 00:20:02.859 --> 00:20:05.519 or that you've sung a bunch of Christmas carols. 00:20:05.980 --> 00:20:07.900 We're going to sing a Christmas carol in the moment. 00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:09.019 That's not quite correct. 00:20:09.460 --> 00:20:11.180 We three kings of Orient are. 00:20:12.660 --> 00:20:14.619 Nothing in the Bible says that they're kings. 00:20:14.619 --> 00:20:17.619 Nothing in the Bible even says that there's three of them. 00:20:20.459 --> 00:20:21.679 There's three presents. 00:20:21.879 --> 00:20:22.559 Acknowledge that. 00:20:22.819 --> 00:20:25.219 But I'm going to give nat three presents. 00:20:25.539 --> 00:20:26.919 Well, I've given nat three presents. 00:20:27.019 --> 00:20:27.519 Maybe not tomorrow. 00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:29.179 I'll give nat three presents. 00:20:29.259 --> 00:20:30.219 But there's not three of me. 00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:36.159 Go to the source of the actual facts that point us to Jesus with clarity. 00:20:37.259 --> 00:20:39.619 There are a lot of opinions out there about Jesus today. 00:20:39.619 --> 00:20:46.199 Today, why not go to the source, read the Gospels again and consider Jesus. 00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:50.159 And ponder who Jesus is. 00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:52.379 What he came to do. 00:20:52.939 --> 00:20:54.839 And what it cost him to do it. 00:20:55.339 --> 00:20:59.779 And what it means for you to live a life that worships him. 00:20:59.779 --> 00:21:00.180 Amen. 00:21:00.220 --> 00:21:00.819 Amen. 00:21:00.819 --> 00:21:00.980 Amen. 00:21:00.980 --> 00:21:01.180 Amen. 00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:14.559 Amen. 00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:14.700 Amen.
