00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.640
 This booth was one of three great pilgrimage feasts of Israel.

00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:09.679
! Every Jewish male was expected to go up to Jerusalem for these three feasts.

00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:18.640
! It occurred in the fall after the harvest, and it lasted seven days followed by a solemn eighth day.

00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:24.240
 It was a day there was an offering and a feast and they took apart the booths on that day.

00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:32.479
 During this feast, the people of Israel lived in temporary shelters or booths, again, tabernacles.

00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:36.079
 You could think in terms of tents made of branches.

00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:44.439
 They did this to remember how their fathers had lived in tents during the wilderness wandering after the Exodus.

00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:50.759
 So people set these up in the streets and on the houses, the roof of their houses, all over the city.

00:00:50.759 --> 00:01:02.399
 But this feast was more than just a history lesson. It was a celebration of God's provision, of God's presence, and of God's promise.

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:09.239
 It looked backward to the wilderness where God provided food from heaven and water from the rock.

00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:14.560
 It looked upward in thanksgiving for the harvest God had just given.

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:22.159
 It looked forward in hope to the day when God would again dwell with his people in glory.

00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:27.420
 It was a week that was just packed full of meaning.

00:01:27.780 --> 00:01:31.340
 You could not avoid it if you were in Israel in this day.

00:01:32.260 --> 00:01:35.939
 The Old Testament gives few instructions for what this feast must look like.

00:01:35.939 --> 00:01:45.000
 But they had developed some tradition that had rich ceremonial meanings, taking place about 600 years before Jesus came on the scene.

00:01:45.900 --> 00:01:50.120
 Two rituals in particular dominated the celebration.

00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:54.799
 The first is the significant one for us to think about before we read the text.

00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:58.700
 This one was a water ceremony.

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:05.299
 Each of the first six days, a priest would draw water from the pool of Siloam.

00:02:05.299 --> 00:02:13.460
 You may remember that pool from chapter 5 where Jesus heals a man on the Sabbath and starts the trouble that he finds himself in.

00:02:14.020 --> 00:02:19.020
 They would draw a pitcher of water and they would lead a procession back to the temple.

00:02:19.379 --> 00:02:22.819
 People would gather and follow the high priest back to the temple.

00:02:23.519 --> 00:02:26.879
 And as they approached the water gate on the south side of the inner court,

00:02:27.099 --> 00:02:31.259
 a shofar would be blown three times as a pronouncement of joy.

00:02:31.259 --> 00:02:35.639
 And the people would recite Isaiah chapter 12 and verse 3.

00:02:36.079 --> 00:02:40.239
 With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

00:02:40.679 --> 00:02:43.699
 So every day for the first six days, this would happen.

00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:45.859
 They'd go into the temple.

00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.879
 And while the people watched, the priest would march around the altar

00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:54.340
 while the singing of the Hillel was led by the temple choir.

00:02:54.340 --> 00:02:59.159
 People would join in and the Hillel, the word means praise.

00:02:59.300 --> 00:03:04.219
 And this is Psalm 113 through 118.

00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:10.640
 So those five, six, six psalms is what they would sing together.

00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:13.240
 So again, I'm setting the stage for you, right?

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.699
 So this is happening every single day across this week.

00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:21.379
 On the seventh day, they're going to go around the altar more times.

00:03:21.379 --> 00:03:26.939
 It's a more significant, but the same thing is being done on that seventh day.

00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:31.620
 And so I want you to mark John 7 in whatever way you like to do that.

00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.379
 And I want you to turn with me to Psalm 113.

00:03:36.079 --> 00:03:37.759
 I want to read these psalms to you.

00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:38.859
 They're not terribly long.

00:03:40.219 --> 00:03:43.539
 These songs are the songs they would have sang

00:03:43.539 --> 00:03:46.340
 while they're going through this process.

00:03:46.340 --> 00:03:50.680
 This is Feast of Booths every single day.

00:03:51.379 --> 00:03:55.299
 Setting the stage for what Jesus is going to do when he's there.

00:03:56.780 --> 00:03:58.560
 So Psalm 113.

00:04:00.019 --> 00:04:01.500
 I wish I had the tunes to these.

00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.519
 I probably wouldn't sing them if I did, but I wish I had the tunes.

00:04:05.079 --> 00:04:05.960
 Praise the Lord.

00:04:06.780 --> 00:04:08.379
 Praise, O servants of the Lord.

00:04:08.500 --> 00:04:10.259
 Praise the name of the Lord.

00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:14.519
 Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forevermore.

00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.159
 From the rising of the sun to its setting,

00:04:17.259 --> 00:04:19.459
 the name of the Lord is to be praised.

00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:24.419
 The Lord is high above all nations and his glory above the heavens.

00:04:25.419 --> 00:04:28.159
 Who is like the Lord our God who is seated on high,

00:04:28.259 --> 00:04:30.659
 who looks far down on the heavens and the earth?

00:04:31.299 --> 00:04:35.120
 He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap

00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:38.919
 to make them sit with princes with the princes of his people.

00:04:39.599 --> 00:04:41.699
 He gives the barren woman a home,

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.299
 making her the joyous mother of children.

00:04:44.300 --> 00:04:46.939
 Praise the Lord.

00:04:47.579 --> 00:04:48.759
 Psalm 114.

00:04:49.259 --> 00:04:51.040
 When Israel went out from Egypt,

00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.560
 the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

00:04:55.259 --> 00:04:56.600
 Judah became his sanctuary,

00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:58.699
 Israel his dominion.

00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:00.860
 The sea looked and fled.

00:05:01.400 --> 00:05:02.680
 Jordan turned back.

00:05:03.139 --> 00:05:04.819
 The mountains skipped like rams,

00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:06.699
 the hills like lambs.

00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:09.400
 What ails you, O sea, that you flee?

00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:11.439
 O Jordan, that you turn back?

00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:13.980
 O mountains that you skip like rams?

00:05:14.100 --> 00:05:15.939
 O hills like lambs?

00:05:16.699 --> 00:05:19.620
 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,

00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:21.620
 at the presence of the God of Jacob,

00:05:21.620 --> 00:05:24.899
 who turns the rock into a pool of water,

00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:28.560
 the flint into a spring of water.

00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.240
 Remember, they followed the water back to the temple.

00:05:33.180 --> 00:05:34.060
 Psalm 115.

00:05:34.060 --> 00:05:35.060
 Psalm 114.

00:05:35.060 --> 00:05:36.459
 Not to us, O Lord,

00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:37.439
 not to us,

00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:39.780
 but to your name give glory.

00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:41.879
 For the sake of your steadfast love

00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:43.019
 and your faithfulness,

00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:45.100
 why should the nation say,

00:05:45.339 --> 00:05:46.319
 where is their God?

00:05:46.819 --> 00:05:48.019
 Our God is in the heavens.

00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:49.879
 He does all that he pleases.

00:05:50.740 --> 00:05:52.600
 Their idols are silver and gold,

00:05:52.699 --> 00:05:54.279
 the work of human hands.

00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:55.500
 They have mouths,

00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:56.439
 but do not speak.

00:05:56.939 --> 00:05:57.259
 Eyes,

00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:58.100
 but do not see.

00:05:58.480 --> 00:05:59.259
 They have ears,

00:05:59.379 --> 00:06:00.040
 but do not hear.

00:06:00.180 --> 00:06:00.519
 Noses,

00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:01.680
 but do not smell.

00:06:02.340 --> 00:06:03.160
 They have hands,

00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:03.980
 but do not feel.

00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:04.500
 Feet,

00:06:04.579 --> 00:06:05.340
 but do not walk.

00:06:05.400 --> 00:06:07.879
 And they do not make a sound in their throat.

00:06:08.699 --> 00:06:10.840
 Those who make them become like them.

00:06:11.019 --> 00:06:12.459
 So do all who trust in them.

00:06:13.280 --> 00:06:13.980
 O Israel,

00:06:14.139 --> 00:06:15.280
 trust in the Lord.

00:06:15.379 --> 00:06:17.400
 He is their help and their shield.

00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:18.819
 O house of Aaron,

00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:19.879
 trust in the Lord.

00:06:19.980 --> 00:06:22.199
 He is their help and their shield.

00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:24.139
 You who fear the Lord,

00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:25.180
 trust in the Lord.

00:06:25.180 --> 00:06:27.740
 He is their help and their shield.

00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:30.019
 The Lord has remembered us.

00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:31.599
 He will bless us.

00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:33.680
 He will bless the house of Israel.

00:06:33.799 --> 00:06:35.079
 He will bless the house of Aaron.

00:06:35.459 --> 00:06:37.299
 He will bless those who fear the Lord,

00:06:37.379 --> 00:06:38.979
 both the small and the great.

00:06:39.919 --> 00:06:41.159
 May the Lord give you increase,

00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:42.399
 you and your children.

00:06:43.139 --> 00:06:44.479
 May you be blessed by the Lord

00:06:44.479 --> 00:06:45.659
 who made heaven and earth.

00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:47.599
 The heavens are the Lord's heavens,

00:06:47.899 --> 00:06:49.099
 but the earth he has given

00:06:49.099 --> 00:06:50.740
 to the children of man.

00:06:51.579 --> 00:06:52.859
 The dead will not praise the Lord,

00:06:52.939 --> 00:06:55.000
 nor do any who go down into silence.

00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:56.579
 But we will bless the Lord

00:06:56.579 --> 00:06:57.799
 from this time forth

00:06:57.799 --> 00:06:59.419
 and forevermore.

00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:02.099
 Psalm 116.

00:07:03.299 --> 00:07:04.339
 I love the Lord

00:07:04.339 --> 00:07:06.039
 because he has heard my voice

00:07:06.039 --> 00:07:07.620
 and my pleas for mercy.

00:07:08.139 --> 00:07:10.339
 Because he has inclined his ear to hear me,

00:07:10.419 --> 00:07:11.740
 therefore I will call on him

00:07:11.740 --> 00:07:13.099
 as long as I live.

00:07:13.919 --> 00:07:16.079
 The snares of death encompassed me.

00:07:16.159 --> 00:07:18.240
 The pangs of Sheol laid hold of me.

00:07:18.599 --> 00:07:21.359
 I suffered distress and anguish.

00:07:22.039 --> 00:07:23.500
 Then I call on the name of the Lord.

00:07:23.500 --> 00:07:26.279
 O Lord, I pray, deliver my soul.

00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:28.319
 Gracious is the Lord

00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:29.139
 and righteous.

00:07:29.919 --> 00:07:30.979
 Our God is merciful.

00:07:31.979 --> 00:07:33.299
 The Lord preserves the simple.

00:07:33.659 --> 00:07:34.559
 When I was brought low,

00:07:35.119 --> 00:07:35.959
 he saved me.

00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:38.679
 Return, O my soul, to your rest,

00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:40.879
 for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:43.239
 For you have delivered my soul from death,

00:07:43.299 --> 00:07:44.379
 my eyes from tears,

00:07:44.479 --> 00:07:45.619
 my feet from stumbling.

00:07:46.299 --> 00:07:47.659
 I will walk before the Lord

00:07:47.659 --> 00:07:48.559
 in the land of the living.

00:07:48.899 --> 00:07:50.740
 I believe even when I spoke,

00:07:50.939 --> 00:07:52.519
 I am greatly afflicted.

00:07:52.980 --> 00:07:54.139
 I said in my alarm,

00:07:54.379 --> 00:07:56.100
 all mankind are liars.

00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:58.339
 What shall I render to the Lord

00:07:58.339 --> 00:07:59.899
 for all his benefits to me?

00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.240
 I will lift up the cup of salvation

00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:04.060
 and call on the name of the Lord.

00:08:04.579 --> 00:08:06.079
 I will pay my vows to the Lord

00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:07.759
 in the presence of all his people.

00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:09.660
 Precious in the sight of the Lord

00:08:09.660 --> 00:08:11.100
 is the death of his saints.

00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:13.139
 O Lord, I am your servant.

00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:14.079
 I am your servant,

00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:15.480
 the son of your maidservant.

00:08:15.819 --> 00:08:17.360
 You have loosed my bonds.

00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:18.879
 I will offer to you

00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:20.220
 the sacrifice of thanksgiving

00:08:20.220 --> 00:08:22.000
 and call on the name of the Lord.

00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.040
 I will pay my vows to the Lord

00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:25.740
 in the presence of all his people

00:08:25.740 --> 00:08:27.500
 in the courts of the house of the Lord

00:08:27.500 --> 00:08:28.420
 in your midst.

00:08:28.840 --> 00:08:31.860
 O Jerusalem, praise the Lord.

00:08:32.940 --> 00:08:34.139
 Psalm 117.

00:08:35.220 --> 00:08:36.560
 Praise the Lord, all nations.

00:08:36.800 --> 00:08:38.360
 Extol him, all peoples.

00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.360
 For great is his steadfast love toward us

00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.120
 and the faithfulness of the Lord

00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:44.159
 endures forever.

00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:46.139
 Praise the Lord.

00:08:46.139 --> 00:08:49.080
 And finally, Psalm 118.

00:08:49.659 --> 00:08:51.139
 O give thanks to the Lord,

00:08:51.220 --> 00:08:52.139
 for he is good,

00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:55.439
 for his steadfast love endures forever.

00:08:56.019 --> 00:08:57.059
 Let Israel say,

00:08:57.299 --> 00:08:58.960
 his steadfast love endures forever.

00:08:59.460 --> 00:09:01.019
 Let the house of Aaron say,

00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.620
 his steadfast love endures forever.

00:09:04.100 --> 00:09:05.860
 Let those who fear the Lord say,

00:09:05.980 --> 00:09:08.639
 his steadfast love endures forever.

00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:10.620
 Out of my distress,

00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:11.759
 I called on the Lord.

00:09:12.179 --> 00:09:13.319
 The Lord answered me

00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:14.440
 and set me free.

00:09:15.100 --> 00:09:16.300
 The Lord is on my side.

00:09:16.340 --> 00:09:17.080
 I will not fear.

00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:18.540
 What can man do to me?

00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:21.040
 The Lord is on my side as my helper.

00:09:21.500 --> 00:09:23.540
 I shall look in triumph on those who hate me.

00:09:24.100 --> 00:09:25.879
 It is better to take refuge in the Lord

00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:27.040
 than to trust in man.

00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:29.120
 It is better to take refuge in the Lord

00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:30.440
 than to trust in princes.

00:09:31.400 --> 00:09:32.940
 All nations surround me.

00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:34.220
 In the name of the Lord,

00:09:34.280 --> 00:09:35.260
 I cut them off.

00:09:35.940 --> 00:09:37.040
 They surrounded me,

00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:38.700
 surrounded me on every side.

00:09:38.800 --> 00:09:39.680
 In the name of the Lord,

00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:40.759
 I cut them off.

00:09:41.199 --> 00:09:42.859
 They surrounded me like bees.

00:09:42.959 --> 00:09:44.799
 They went out like a fire among thorns.

00:09:44.899 --> 00:09:45.799
 In the name of the Lord,

00:09:45.899 --> 00:09:46.919
 I cut them off.

00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:49.019
 I was pushed hard

00:09:49.019 --> 00:09:50.279
 so that I was falling,

00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:52.179
 but the Lord helped me.

00:09:52.739 --> 00:09:53.839
 The Lord is my strength

00:09:53.839 --> 00:09:55.079
 and my song.

00:09:55.459 --> 00:09:56.879
 He has become my salvation.

00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:59.039
 Glad songs of salvation

00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:00.699
 are in the tents of the righteous.

00:10:01.359 --> 00:10:02.159
 The tents of the righteous.

00:10:02.299 --> 00:10:03.939
 The right hand does valiantly.

00:10:04.339 --> 00:10:05.759
 The right hand of the Lord exalts.

00:10:05.899 --> 00:10:08.059
 The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.

00:10:08.059 --> 00:10:09.759
 I shall not die,

00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:11.219
 but I shall live

00:10:11.219 --> 00:10:13.059
 and recount the deeds of the Lord.

00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:15.199
 The Lord has disciplined severely,

00:10:15.359 --> 00:10:17.139
 but he has not given me over to death.

00:10:17.939 --> 00:10:19.639
 Open to me the gates of righteousness

00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:21.139
 that I might enter through them

00:10:21.139 --> 00:10:22.979
 and give thanks to the Lord.

00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:24.919
 This is the gate of the Lord.

00:10:25.219 --> 00:10:26.899
 The righteous shall enter through it.

00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:29.099
 I thank you that you have answered me

00:10:29.099 --> 00:10:30.379
 and have become my salvation.

00:10:31.199 --> 00:10:32.839
 The stone that the builders rejected

00:10:32.839 --> 00:10:34.439
 has become the cornerstone.

00:10:34.959 --> 00:10:36.319
 This is the Lord's doing.

00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:38.320
 It is marvelous in our eyes.

00:10:38.860 --> 00:10:41.140
 This is the day that the Lord has made.

00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:43.540
 Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:46.080
 Save us, we pray, O Lord.

00:10:46.420 --> 00:10:48.940
 O Lord, we pray, give us success.

00:10:49.800 --> 00:10:50.960
 Blessed is he who comes

00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:51.940
 in the name of the Lord.

00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.340
 We bless you from the house of the Lord.

00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:55.860
 The Lord is God

00:10:55.860 --> 00:10:57.879
 and he has made his light to shine upon us.

00:10:58.400 --> 00:11:00.360
 Bind the festal sacrifice with cords

00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:02.280
 up to the horns of the altar.

00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:04.100
 You are my God

00:11:04.100 --> 00:11:05.519
 and I will give thanks to you.

00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:06.799
 You are my God.

00:11:06.939 --> 00:11:08.199
 I will extol you.

00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:10.039
 O give thanks to the Lord

00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:11.120
 for he is good

00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:12.879
 for his steadfast love

00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:14.559
 endures forever.

00:11:15.299 --> 00:11:15.439
 Right?

00:11:16.079 --> 00:11:17.519
 Seven days in a row

00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:20.959
 they have sung these songs

00:11:20.959 --> 00:11:24.620
 which are just absolutely ripe

00:11:24.620 --> 00:11:27.740
 with messianic ideas

00:11:27.740 --> 00:11:29.200
 foreshadowing

00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:30.759
 pressing toward

00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.320
 what this feast was really

00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:35.159
 all about.

00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:37.360
 Again, not commanded

00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:38.720
 these psalms

00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:39.560
 to be sung

00:11:39.560 --> 00:11:41.000
 but they had begun this tradition

00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:42.620
 and boy did it serve

00:11:42.620 --> 00:11:45.500
 to this wonderful end.

00:11:46.560 --> 00:11:47.820
 At the conclusion of the singing

00:11:47.820 --> 00:11:49.200
 the people would all cry out

00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:50.100
 three times

00:11:50.100 --> 00:11:52.379
 give thanks to the Lord

00:11:52.379 --> 00:11:54.000
 and the water was poured

00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:55.860
 onto the altar.

00:11:57.019 --> 00:11:58.259
 This ceremony commemorated

00:11:58.259 --> 00:11:59.320
 the water God provided

00:11:59.320 --> 00:11:59.879
 in the wilderness

00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:01.259
 and expressed hope

00:12:01.259 --> 00:12:03.480
 for the coming messianic age

00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:04.100
 when God

00:12:04.100 --> 00:12:06.000
 would pour out his spirit.

00:12:07.419 --> 00:12:07.879
 Second,

00:12:08.179 --> 00:12:10.139
 this is the water ceremony.

00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:11.759
 Second there was

00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:13.779
 the illumination ceremony.

00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:15.559
 Massive lamps were lit

00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:16.440
 in the temple courts

00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:18.360
 casting light over

00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:19.620
 the city

00:12:19.620 --> 00:12:20.539
 and this recalled

00:12:20.539 --> 00:12:21.360
 the pillar of fire

00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:22.139
 that guided Israel

00:12:22.139 --> 00:12:22.720
 through the wilderness

00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.360
 and symbolized the hope

00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:25.000
 that God's glory

00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:25.879
 would again shine

00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:27.500
 upon his people.

00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:28.560
 Jesus is going to

00:12:28.560 --> 00:12:29.980
 call himself

00:12:29.980 --> 00:12:31.899
 the light of the world

00:12:31.899 --> 00:12:33.860
 soon in the text.

00:12:34.560 --> 00:12:36.039
 So the feast of booths

00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:36.759
 it was a celebration

00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:38.480
 of light and life

00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:39.100
 and provision

00:12:39.100 --> 00:12:42.320
 and divine presence.

00:12:43.220 --> 00:12:45.300
 And it's into this setting

00:12:45.300 --> 00:12:47.940
 charged with expectation

00:12:47.940 --> 00:12:50.980
 saturated with symbolism

00:12:50.980 --> 00:12:54.659
 overflowing with religious meaning

00:12:54.659 --> 00:12:56.360
 that Jesus steps.

00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:59.180
 I hope that wasn't a waste

00:12:59.180 --> 00:13:00.039
 of time for you.

00:13:00.259 --> 00:13:01.659
 There's a lot going on

00:13:01.659 --> 00:13:04.159
 across this week

00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:05.259
 and Jesus is going to speak

00:13:05.259 --> 00:13:05.840
 into it.

00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:07.180
 We'll see here

00:13:07.180 --> 00:13:08.019
 in a moment.

00:13:09.019 --> 00:13:10.060
 What makes John 7

00:13:10.060 --> 00:13:10.940
 so striking

00:13:10.940 --> 00:13:12.800
 is that Jesus does not merely

00:13:12.800 --> 00:13:14.740
 attend the feast

00:13:14.740 --> 00:13:17.299
 but he interprets it.

00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.060
 He takes the central symbols

00:13:20.060 --> 00:13:21.159
 of Israel's hope

00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:22.120
 and he claims

00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:23.480
 that he himself

00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:25.519
 is their fulfillment.

00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:28.799
 But here's the tragedy

00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:30.799
 of John chapter 7.

00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:33.240
 The people are celebrating

00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:34.720
 God's past salvation

00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:36.379
 while rejecting

00:13:36.379 --> 00:13:37.840
 God's present

00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:39.039
 savior.

00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:40.919
 They're remembering

00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:41.519
 the wilderness

00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:42.220
 while standing

00:13:42.220 --> 00:13:43.079
 face to face

00:13:43.079 --> 00:13:43.779
 with the one

00:13:43.779 --> 00:13:44.879
 who led Israel

00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:45.799
 through it.

00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:47.679
 They're singing

00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:48.559
 about light

00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:49.519
 while turning away

00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:50.699
 from the light

00:13:50.699 --> 00:13:51.139
 of the world.

00:13:52.819 --> 00:13:53.379
 John MacArthur

00:13:53.379 --> 00:13:54.579
 notes that this feast

00:13:54.579 --> 00:13:56.279
 which should have produced

00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:58.039
 the greatest clarity

00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:00.159
 instead produces

00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:01.699
 great confusion.

00:14:01.700 --> 00:14:03.860
 Some say

00:14:03.860 --> 00:14:04.560
 we'll see

00:14:04.560 --> 00:14:06.180
 Jesus is good

00:14:06.180 --> 00:14:07.520
 others say

00:14:07.520 --> 00:14:09.100
 he deceives the people

00:14:09.100 --> 00:14:10.600
 the leaders

00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:11.520
 want him dead

00:14:11.520 --> 00:14:13.220
 the crowds whisper

00:14:13.220 --> 00:14:15.160
 no one speaks openly

00:14:15.160 --> 00:14:17.460
 fear seems to rule

00:14:17.460 --> 00:14:18.700
 the day.

00:14:19.160 --> 00:14:19.780
 There's much

00:14:19.780 --> 00:14:21.180
 confusion

00:14:21.180 --> 00:14:22.360
 in John 7.

00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:24.180
 In the middle

00:14:24.180 --> 00:14:24.560
 of it all

00:14:24.560 --> 00:14:25.400
 stands Jesus

00:14:25.400 --> 00:14:26.879
 teaching

00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:27.660
 confronting

00:14:27.660 --> 00:14:29.879
 exposing hearts.

00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:32.159
 does that here

00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:33.580
 and works

00:14:33.580 --> 00:14:34.200
 that purpose

00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:34.899
 for us

00:14:34.899 --> 00:14:36.200
 today.

00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:38.159
 John 7

00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:38.679
 is not

00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:39.439
 just about

00:14:39.439 --> 00:14:40.299
 controversy

00:14:40.299 --> 00:14:41.200
 it's about

00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:42.460
 revelation

00:14:42.460 --> 00:14:43.439
 and

00:14:43.439 --> 00:14:44.659
 responsibility.

00:14:45.379 --> 00:14:45.899
 It answers

00:14:45.899 --> 00:14:46.720
 the question

00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:48.220
 what happens

00:14:48.220 --> 00:14:49.320
 when the glory

00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:49.799
 of God

00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:50.559
 stands in front

00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:51.039
 of religious

00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:51.659
 people who

00:14:51.659 --> 00:14:52.580
 think they

00:14:52.580 --> 00:14:53.439
 already

00:14:53.439 --> 00:14:55.039
 know him.

00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:56.279
 Who's

00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:56.759
 sight of that

00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:57.059
 fact?

00:14:57.220 --> 00:14:58.179
 All of this

00:14:58.179 --> 00:14:58.740
 is happening

00:14:58.740 --> 00:14:59.700
 right?

00:14:59.879 --> 00:15:00.960
 to worship

00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:01.939
 God

00:15:01.939 --> 00:15:02.639
 Yahweh

00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:03.519
 they think

00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:03.939
 they know

00:15:03.939 --> 00:15:04.139
 him

00:15:04.139 --> 00:15:04.639
 they think

00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:05.179
 they're doing

00:15:05.179 --> 00:15:06.279
 what they need

00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:06.879
 to be doing

00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:08.059
 and they're

00:15:08.059 --> 00:15:08.340
 missing

00:15:08.340 --> 00:15:09.200
 they're missing

00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:09.460
 it.

00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:10.519
 The answer

00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:11.179
 is just

00:15:11.179 --> 00:15:12.019
 sobering

00:15:12.019 --> 00:15:13.019
 some marvel

00:15:13.019 --> 00:15:13.740
 some argue

00:15:13.740 --> 00:15:14.559
 some reject

00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:16.939
 some perhaps

00:15:16.939 --> 00:15:18.279
 begin to see

00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:18.779
 that Jesus

00:15:18.779 --> 00:15:20.659
 is the Christ

00:15:20.659 --> 00:15:22.059
 and this chapter

00:15:22.059 --> 00:15:23.159
 forces every

00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:23.700
 hearer

00:15:23.700 --> 00:15:24.919
 to ask the

00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:25.899
 same question

00:15:25.899 --> 00:15:26.720
 that the crowd

00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:28.159
 had to face

00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:29.939
 what am I

00:15:29.939 --> 00:15:30.480
 to do

00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:31.740
 with Jesus

00:15:31.740 --> 00:15:33.299
 who he

00:15:33.299 --> 00:15:33.899
 claims to

00:15:33.899 --> 00:15:34.199
 be

00:15:34.199 --> 00:15:35.939
 you can't

00:15:35.939 --> 00:15:36.319
 avoid the

00:15:36.319 --> 00:15:36.620
 question

00:15:36.620 --> 00:15:37.000
 it's the

00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:37.600
 most important

00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:38.000
 question

00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:38.659
 perhaps you

00:15:38.659 --> 00:15:39.240
 could ask

00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:40.299
 yourself

00:15:40.299 --> 00:15:40.959
 this morning

00:15:40.959 --> 00:15:42.000
 what am I

00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:43.240
 to do

00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:45.179
 with Jesus

00:15:45.179 --> 00:15:46.859
 in John

00:15:46.859 --> 00:15:47.699
 chapter 7

00:15:47.699 --> 00:15:48.239
 verse 30

00:15:48.239 --> 00:15:49.099
 through 44

00:15:49.099 --> 00:15:49.479
 let me

00:15:49.479 --> 00:15:50.779
 pray for us

00:15:50.779 --> 00:15:51.219
 before we

00:15:51.219 --> 00:15:51.479
 read the

00:15:51.479 --> 00:15:51.739
 text

00:15:51.739 --> 00:15:52.099
 father

00:15:52.099 --> 00:15:54.859
 as we've

00:15:54.859 --> 00:15:55.379
 set the

00:15:55.379 --> 00:15:55.979
 stage

00:15:55.979 --> 00:15:57.359
 for what

00:15:57.359 --> 00:15:57.559
 we're going

00:15:57.559 --> 00:15:57.799
 to see

00:15:57.799 --> 00:15:58.139
 Jesus

00:15:58.139 --> 00:15:58.759
 do here

00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:00.359
 I pray

00:16:00.359 --> 00:16:00.599
 that you

00:16:00.599 --> 00:16:01.039
 would work

00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:01.679
 in all

00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:02.239
 of us

00:16:02.239 --> 00:16:03.000
 belief

00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:04.459
 whether for

00:16:04.459 --> 00:16:04.759
 the very

00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:05.379
 first time

00:16:05.379 --> 00:16:07.439
 understanding

00:16:07.439 --> 00:16:08.019
 who Jesus

00:16:08.019 --> 00:16:08.459
 is

00:16:08.459 --> 00:16:09.339
 the fulfillment

00:16:09.339 --> 00:16:10.120
 of all

00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:10.439
 that the

00:16:10.439 --> 00:16:10.699
 scripture

00:16:10.699 --> 00:16:11.059
 has said

00:16:11.059 --> 00:16:11.620
 the Messiah

00:16:11.620 --> 00:16:12.159
 would be

00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:13.720
 our way

00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:14.639
 back to

00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:15.000
 you

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:17.100
 or once

00:16:17.100 --> 00:16:17.440
 again

00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:18.639
 we might

00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:19.419
 find ourselves

00:16:19.419 --> 00:16:21.419
 with weak

00:16:21.419 --> 00:16:22.019
 faith this

00:16:22.019 --> 00:16:22.320
 morning

00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:24.120
 having been

00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:25.080
 distracted by

00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:25.679
 the world

00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:26.679
 drawn away

00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:27.279
 by it

00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:28.740
 we would

00:16:28.740 --> 00:16:29.679
 again return

00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:30.620
 in faith

00:16:30.620 --> 00:16:31.960
 to the

00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:32.419
 person

00:16:32.419 --> 00:16:33.080
 and work

00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:34.120
 of Jesus

00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:34.580
 Christ

00:16:34.580 --> 00:16:35.200
 and we pray

00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:35.620
 this in his

00:16:35.620 --> 00:16:35.879
 name

00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:37.539
 amen

00:16:37.539 --> 00:16:39.180
 beginning

00:16:39.180 --> 00:16:39.659
 in verse 30

00:16:39.659 --> 00:16:40.059
 so they

00:16:40.059 --> 00:16:40.579
 were seeking

00:16:40.579 --> 00:16:41.519
 to arrest

00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:41.819
 him

00:16:41.819 --> 00:16:43.120
 but no

00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:43.480
 one laid

00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:43.819
 a hand

00:16:43.819 --> 00:16:44.100
 on him

00:16:44.100 --> 00:16:44.399
 because

00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:45.639
 his hour

00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:46.039
 had not

00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:46.659
 yet come

00:16:46.659 --> 00:16:48.019
 yet many

00:16:48.019 --> 00:16:48.219
 of the

00:16:48.219 --> 00:16:48.399
 people

00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:48.759
 believed

00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:49.120
 in him

00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:50.139
 they said

00:16:50.139 --> 00:16:50.480
 when the

00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:50.740
 Christ

00:16:50.740 --> 00:16:51.139
 appears

00:16:51.139 --> 00:16:51.480
 will he

00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:51.919
 do more

00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:52.419
 signs

00:16:52.419 --> 00:16:52.899
 than this

00:16:52.899 --> 00:16:53.159
 man

00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:53.539
 has done

00:16:53.539 --> 00:16:55.339
 the Pharisees

00:16:55.339 --> 00:16:55.740
 heard the

00:16:55.740 --> 00:16:55.939
 crowd

00:16:55.939 --> 00:16:56.259
 muttering

00:16:56.259 --> 00:16:56.719
 these things

00:16:56.719 --> 00:16:57.179
 about him

00:16:57.179 --> 00:16:57.459
 and the

00:16:57.459 --> 00:16:57.699
 chief

00:16:57.699 --> 00:16:58.039
 priests

00:16:58.039 --> 00:16:58.659
 and Pharisees

00:16:58.659 --> 00:16:58.919
 sent

00:16:58.919 --> 00:16:59.459
 officers

00:16:59.459 --> 00:17:00.240
 to arrest

00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:00.559
 him

00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:01.939
 Jesus

00:17:01.939 --> 00:17:02.639
 then said

00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:02.980
 I will

00:17:02.980 --> 00:17:03.339
 be with

00:17:03.339 --> 00:17:03.600
 you a

00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:03.720
 little

00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:04.159
 longer

00:17:04.159 --> 00:17:04.819
 and that

00:17:04.819 --> 00:17:04.960
 I'm

00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:05.200
 going

00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:05.759
 to him

00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:06.639
 who sent

00:17:06.639 --> 00:17:06.879
 me

00:17:06.879 --> 00:17:07.859
 you will

00:17:07.859 --> 00:17:08.420
 seek me

00:17:08.420 --> 00:17:08.740
 and you

00:17:08.740 --> 00:17:09.079
 will not

00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:09.639
 find me

00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:10.100
 where I

00:17:10.100 --> 00:17:10.540
 am

00:17:10.540 --> 00:17:11.160
 you

00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:11.480
 cannot

00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:11.960
 come

00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:13.240
 the Jews

00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:13.540
 said to

00:17:13.540 --> 00:17:13.940
 one another

00:17:13.940 --> 00:17:14.320
 where does

00:17:14.320 --> 00:17:14.660
 this man

00:17:14.660 --> 00:17:14.920
 intend

00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:15.460
 to go

00:17:15.460 --> 00:17:16.040
 that we

00:17:16.040 --> 00:17:16.420
 will not

00:17:16.420 --> 00:17:17.100
 find him

00:17:17.100 --> 00:17:17.660
 does he

00:17:17.660 --> 00:17:17.860
 intend

00:17:17.860 --> 00:17:18.240
 to go

00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:18.500
 to the

00:17:18.500 --> 00:17:19.040
 dispersion

00:17:19.040 --> 00:17:19.400
 among the

00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:19.680
 Greeks

00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:20.140
 and teach

00:17:20.140 --> 00:17:20.759
 the Greeks

00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:21.940
 what does

00:17:21.940 --> 00:17:22.300
 he mean

00:17:22.300 --> 00:17:22.960
 by saying

00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:23.280
 you will

00:17:23.280 --> 00:17:23.680
 seek me

00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:23.900
 and you

00:17:23.900 --> 00:17:24.200
 will not

00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:24.800
 find me

00:17:24.800 --> 00:17:25.600
 and where

00:17:25.600 --> 00:17:26.240
 I am

00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:26.520
 you

00:17:26.520 --> 00:17:26.900
 cannot

00:17:26.900 --> 00:17:27.759
 come

00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:29.620
 on the

00:17:29.620 --> 00:17:30.020
 last day

00:17:30.020 --> 00:17:30.240
 of the

00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:30.640
 feast

00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:31.759
 the great

00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:32.180
 day

00:17:32.180 --> 00:17:32.940
 Jesus

00:17:32.940 --> 00:17:33.640
 stood up

00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:34.380
 and cried

00:17:34.380 --> 00:17:34.759
 out

00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:36.040
 if anyone

00:17:36.040 --> 00:17:36.720
 thirsts

00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:37.080
 let him

00:17:37.080 --> 00:17:37.680
 come to

00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:38.020
 me

00:17:38.020 --> 00:17:39.259
 and drink

00:17:39.259 --> 00:17:40.079
 whoever

00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:40.579
 believes

00:17:40.579 --> 00:17:40.859
 in me

00:17:40.859 --> 00:17:41.160
 as the

00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:41.420
 scripture

00:17:41.420 --> 00:17:41.839
 has said

00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:42.359
 out of his

00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:42.640
 heart

00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:43.019
 will flow

00:17:43.019 --> 00:17:43.559
 rivers

00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:45.099
 of living

00:17:45.099 --> 00:17:45.720
 water

00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:47.460
 now this

00:17:47.460 --> 00:17:47.759
 he said

00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:48.160
 about the

00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:48.539
 spirit

00:17:48.539 --> 00:17:49.579
 whom those

00:17:49.579 --> 00:17:50.059
 who believed

00:17:50.059 --> 00:17:50.440
 in him

00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:51.240
 were to receive

00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:51.839
 for as yet

00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:52.279
 the spirit

00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:52.660
 had not

00:17:52.660 --> 00:17:53.140
 been given

00:17:53.140 --> 00:17:53.900
 because Jesus

00:17:53.900 --> 00:17:54.900
 was not yet

00:17:54.900 --> 00:17:56.140
 glorified

00:17:56.140 --> 00:17:57.700
 when they

00:17:57.700 --> 00:17:58.040
 heard these

00:17:58.040 --> 00:17:58.320
 words

00:17:58.320 --> 00:17:58.660
 some of the

00:17:58.660 --> 00:17:59.220
 people said

00:17:59.220 --> 00:18:00.000
 this really

00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:00.440
 is the

00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:00.800
 prophet

00:18:00.800 --> 00:18:01.360
 others

00:18:01.360 --> 00:18:01.780
 said

00:18:01.780 --> 00:18:02.600
 this

00:18:02.600 --> 00:18:03.020
 is the

00:18:03.020 --> 00:18:03.480
 Christ

00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:04.420
 but some

00:18:04.420 --> 00:18:04.800
 said

00:18:04.800 --> 00:18:05.120
 is the

00:18:05.120 --> 00:18:05.360
 Christ

00:18:05.360 --> 00:18:05.740
 to come

00:18:05.740 --> 00:18:05.940
 from

00:18:05.940 --> 00:18:06.440
 Galilee

00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:07.300
 has not

00:18:07.300 --> 00:18:07.680
 the scripture

00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:08.100
 said that

00:18:08.100 --> 00:18:08.480
 the Christ

00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:09.120
 comes from

00:18:09.120 --> 00:18:09.600
 the offspring

00:18:09.600 --> 00:18:10.040
 of David

00:18:10.040 --> 00:18:10.420
 and comes

00:18:10.420 --> 00:18:11.200
 from Bethlehem

00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:11.700
 the village

00:18:11.700 --> 00:18:12.120
 where David

00:18:12.120 --> 00:18:12.620
 was

00:18:12.620 --> 00:18:13.860
 so there

00:18:13.860 --> 00:18:14.100
 was a

00:18:14.100 --> 00:18:14.440
 division

00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:14.960
 among the

00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:15.259
 people

00:18:15.259 --> 00:18:15.960
 over him

00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:17.020
 some of

00:18:17.020 --> 00:18:17.120
 them

00:18:17.120 --> 00:18:17.520
 wanted to

00:18:17.520 --> 00:18:17.800
 arrest

00:18:17.800 --> 00:18:18.080
 him

00:18:18.080 --> 00:18:19.120
 but no

00:18:19.120 --> 00:18:19.380
 one

00:18:19.380 --> 00:18:20.040
 laid

00:18:20.040 --> 00:18:20.300
 hands

00:18:20.300 --> 00:18:20.680
 on him

00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:22.600
 now our

00:18:22.600 --> 00:18:23.940
 text once

00:18:23.940 --> 00:18:24.960
 again is

00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:26.440
 chiastic

00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:27.299
 notice

00:18:27.299 --> 00:18:27.920
 that it

00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:28.380
 begins

00:18:28.380 --> 00:18:28.880
 so they

00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:29.380
 were seeking

00:18:29.380 --> 00:18:30.120
 to arrest

00:18:30.120 --> 00:18:30.420
 him

00:18:30.420 --> 00:18:31.240
 but no

00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:31.519
 one

00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:32.019
 laid a

00:18:32.019 --> 00:18:32.259
 hand

00:18:32.259 --> 00:18:32.759
 on him

00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:33.500
 and the

00:18:33.500 --> 00:18:33.680
 reason

00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:33.960
 John

00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:34.240
 gives

00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:34.720
 is because

00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:35.279
 his hour

00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:35.680
 had not

00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:36.019
 yet

00:18:36.019 --> 00:18:36.779
 come

00:18:36.779 --> 00:18:37.240
 and it

00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:37.820
 ends

00:18:37.820 --> 00:18:38.660
 verse 44

00:18:38.660 --> 00:18:39.820
 some of

00:18:39.820 --> 00:18:40.180
 them wanted

00:18:40.180 --> 00:18:40.740
 to arrest

00:18:40.740 --> 00:18:40.960
 him

00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:41.660
 but no

00:18:41.660 --> 00:18:41.940
 one

00:18:41.940 --> 00:18:42.500
 laid

00:18:42.500 --> 00:18:43.640
 hands

00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:44.160
 on him

00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:44.799
 I just

00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:44.940
 want to

00:18:44.940 --> 00:18:45.299
 point that

00:18:45.299 --> 00:18:45.620
 out to

00:18:45.620 --> 00:18:45.880
 you

00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:47.720
 the

00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:48.480
 central

00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:49.080
 part of

00:18:49.080 --> 00:18:49.560
 the text

00:18:49.560 --> 00:18:49.940
 in this

00:18:49.940 --> 00:18:50.340
 case

00:18:50.339 --> 00:18:50.959
 are these

00:18:50.959 --> 00:18:52.039
 two things

00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:52.419
 that Jesus

00:18:52.419 --> 00:18:53.199
 says on

00:18:53.199 --> 00:18:53.799
 two

00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:54.839
 different

00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:55.599
 days

00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:56.619
 so he

00:18:56.619 --> 00:18:57.119
 has this

00:18:57.119 --> 00:18:57.599
 language about

00:18:57.599 --> 00:18:58.139
 going where

00:18:58.139 --> 00:18:58.539
 they cannot

00:18:58.539 --> 00:18:59.039
 come

00:18:59.039 --> 00:18:59.639
 and then he

00:18:59.639 --> 00:18:59.899
 has

00:18:59.899 --> 00:19:01.359
 starting verse 37

00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:02.159
 on the day

00:19:02.159 --> 00:19:02.759
 of the

00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:03.639
 feast

00:19:03.639 --> 00:19:04.279
 and the

00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:04.619
 things that

00:19:04.619 --> 00:19:05.119
 he says

00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:06.240
 at that

00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:06.659
 time

00:19:06.659 --> 00:19:07.879
 so

00:19:07.879 --> 00:19:08.279
 Lord

00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:08.779
 willing

00:19:08.779 --> 00:19:09.119
 I want

00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:09.819
 to pick

00:19:09.819 --> 00:19:10.279
 up some

00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:10.579
 of this

00:19:10.579 --> 00:19:10.899
 text

00:19:10.899 --> 00:19:11.240
 as we

00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:11.899
 close out

00:19:11.899 --> 00:19:12.259
 our study

00:19:12.259 --> 00:19:12.579
 of John

00:19:12.579 --> 00:19:12.919
 7

00:19:12.919 --> 00:19:13.459
 in just

00:19:13.459 --> 00:19:14.159
 a couple

00:19:14.159 --> 00:19:14.419
 of weeks

00:19:14.419 --> 00:19:14.659
 I want to

00:19:14.659 --> 00:19:15.559
 come back

00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:16.059
 into it

00:19:16.059 --> 00:19:16.299
 so I'm

00:19:16.299 --> 00:19:16.500
 going to

00:19:16.500 --> 00:19:17.359
 neglect a

00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:17.659
 little bit

00:19:17.659 --> 00:19:17.859
 of it

00:19:17.859 --> 00:19:18.319
 this morning

00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:18.720
 but I want

00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:18.939
 you to

00:19:18.939 --> 00:19:19.159
 know

00:19:19.159 --> 00:19:19.839
 I intend

00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:20.720
 to wrap

00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:21.139
 it into

00:19:21.139 --> 00:19:21.500
 the end

00:19:21.500 --> 00:19:22.519
 of chapter

00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:22.919
 7

00:19:22.919 --> 00:19:23.579
 but today

00:19:23.579 --> 00:19:24.139
 I want to

00:19:24.139 --> 00:19:24.579
 spend the

00:19:24.579 --> 00:19:25.000
 rest of

00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:25.419
 our limited

00:19:25.419 --> 00:19:26.539
 time on

00:19:26.539 --> 00:19:26.859
 Jesus'

00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:27.819
 invitation

00:19:27.819 --> 00:19:29.019
 and explanation

00:19:29.019 --> 00:19:29.939
 found in

00:19:29.939 --> 00:19:30.959
 verses 37

00:19:30.959 --> 00:19:32.399
 to 39

00:19:32.399 --> 00:19:32.699
 I want to

00:19:32.699 --> 00:19:32.919
 give this

00:19:32.919 --> 00:19:34.220
 ample time

00:19:34.220 --> 00:19:35.519
 this morning

00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:36.139
 so picking up

00:19:36.139 --> 00:19:36.720
 on 37

00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:37.500
 on the last

00:19:37.500 --> 00:19:37.960
 day

00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:37.500
 on the last

00:19:37.500 --> 00:19:38.539
 day

00:19:38.539 --> 00:19:39.220
 Jesus'

00:19:39.220 --> 00:19:39.100
 day

00:19:39.100 --> 00:19:39.860
 Jesus

00:19:39.860 --> 00:19:40.680
 stood up

00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:41.620
 and cried

00:19:41.620 --> 00:19:42.519
 out

00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:42.880
 that's

00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:43.180
 what I want

00:19:43.180 --> 00:19:43.779
 to spend

00:19:43.779 --> 00:19:44.200
 the rest

00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:44.420
 of our

00:19:44.420 --> 00:19:44.720
 time

00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:45.440
 focusing

00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:45.960
 on

00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:46.259
 so he

00:19:46.259 --> 00:19:46.460
 makes

00:19:46.460 --> 00:19:46.620
 this

00:19:46.620 --> 00:19:47.079
 intention

00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:47.380
 this

00:19:47.380 --> 00:19:47.880
 invitation

00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:48.299
 first

00:19:48.299 --> 00:19:49.000
 he makes

00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:49.180
 this

00:19:49.180 --> 00:19:49.839
 invitation

00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:51.200
 he cries

00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:51.460
 out

00:19:51.460 --> 00:19:52.460
 if anyone

00:19:52.460 --> 00:19:53.819
 thirsts

00:19:53.819 --> 00:19:54.279
 let him

00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:54.740
 come

00:19:54.740 --> 00:19:55.759
 to me

00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:57.100
 and drink

00:19:57.100 --> 00:19:57.720
 right

00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:58.980
 this is on

00:19:58.980 --> 00:19:59.380
 the last

00:19:59.380 --> 00:19:59.660
 day of

00:19:59.660 --> 00:20:00.079
 the feast

00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:00.600
 here

00:20:00.600 --> 00:20:01.440
 John calls

00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:01.640
 it

00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:03.019
 the great

00:20:03.019 --> 00:20:04.240
 day

00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:05.720
 and no

00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:06.099
 one knows

00:20:06.099 --> 00:20:06.460
 for sure

00:20:06.460 --> 00:20:06.759
 if this

00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:07.180
 invitation

00:20:07.180 --> 00:20:07.720
 occurred

00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:08.160
 on the

00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:08.539
 seventh

00:20:08.539 --> 00:20:08.940
 day

00:20:08.940 --> 00:20:10.019
 or on

00:20:10.019 --> 00:20:10.160
 the

00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:10.460
 eighth

00:20:10.460 --> 00:20:10.720
 there's

00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:10.920
 a lot

00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:11.039
 of

00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:11.380
 argument

00:20:11.380 --> 00:20:11.839
 about

00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:12.099
 there

00:20:12.099 --> 00:20:12.559
 out there

00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:12.839
 on it

00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:13.359
 the most

00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:13.660
 faithful

00:20:13.660 --> 00:20:14.299
 commentators

00:20:14.299 --> 00:20:14.799
 just say

00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:15.279
 we're not

00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:15.579
 sure

00:20:15.579 --> 00:20:15.960
 if it was

00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:16.400
 the seventh

00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:16.779
 day

00:20:16.779 --> 00:20:17.900
 or on

00:20:17.900 --> 00:20:18.799
 the eighth

00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:19.079
 day

00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:19.759
 certainly

00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:20.059
 could be

00:20:20.059 --> 00:20:20.420
 argued

00:20:20.420 --> 00:20:22.140
 either way

00:20:22.140 --> 00:20:22.759
 not

00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:23.680
 incredibly

00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:24.480
 important

00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:25.519
 if it

00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:25.759
 happened

00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:27.059
 have

00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:30.839
 seven

00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:31.240
 days

00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:31.900
 still

00:20:31.900 --> 00:20:32.339
 ringing

00:20:32.339 --> 00:20:32.940

 have

00:20:35.159 --> 00:20:35.299
 been

00:20:35.299 --> 00:20:35.680
 there

00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:36.079
 on

00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:36.359
 their

 clean

00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:39.399
 up

00:20:39.399 --> 00:20:39.740
 from

 week's

00:20:40.819 --> 00:20:41.460

00:20:41.460 --> 00:20:42.659

 seventh

00:20:44.220 --> 00:20:44.619
 day

00:20:44.619 --> 00:20:45.639
 a day

00:20:45.639 --> 00:20:46.000
 that had

00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:46.559
 a bit

00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:46.779
 more

00:20:46.779 --> 00:20:47.220
 pomp

00:20:47.220 --> 00:20:47.379
 than

00:20:47.379 --> 00:20:47.859
 previously

00:20:47.859 --> 00:20:48.420
 described

00:20:48.420 --> 00:20:49.240
 seven

00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:49.659
 times

00:20:49.659 --> 00:20:50.079
 around

 the

00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:51.420
 altar

00:20:51.420 --> 00:20:51.579
 it

00:20:51.579 --> 00:20:51.680
 was

00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:51.940
 a

00:20:51.940 --> 00:20:52.639
 longer

00:20:52.639 --> 00:20:53.480
 procession

00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:53.680
 that

00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:53.899
 took

00:20:53.899 --> 00:20:54.399
 place

00:20:54.399 --> 00:20:55.420
 they

00:20:55.420 --> 00:20:55.619
 would

00:20:55.619 --> 00:20:55.799
 have

00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:56.259
 been

00:20:56.259 --> 00:20:57.359
 likely

00:20:57.359 --> 00:20:57.700
 in

00:20:57.700 --> 00:20:57.920
 the

00:20:57.920 --> 00:20:58.599
 middle

00:21:01.859 --> 00:21:02.359
 right

00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:02.779
 then

00:21:02.779 --> 00:21:03.559
 there

00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:03.779
 on

00:24:07.019 --> 00:24:07.220
 this

00:24:07.220 --> 00:24:07.559
 temporal

00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:08.019
 life

00:24:08.019 --> 00:24:08.799
 has

00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:08.900
 to

00:24:08.900 --> 00:24:09.120
 offer

00:24:09.120 --> 00:24:09.500
 us

00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:10.680
 something

00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:10.860
 is

00:24:10.860 --> 00:24:11.180
 missing

00:24:11.180 --> 00:24:11.500
 people

00:24:11.500 --> 00:24:11.819
 talk

00:24:11.819 --> 00:24:11.980
 about

00:24:11.980 --> 00:24:12.140
 the

00:24:12.140 --> 00:24:12.380
 God

00:24:12.380 --> 00:24:12.700
 sized

00:24:12.700 --> 00:24:13.019
 hole

00:24:13.019 --> 00:24:13.400
 in

00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:13.559
 your

00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:13.920
 heart

00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:14.279
 right

00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:14.920
 I

00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:15.140
 like

00:24:15.140 --> 00:24:15.319
 this

00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:15.620
 metaphor

00:24:15.619 --> 00:24:16.219
 better

00:24:16.219 --> 00:24:17.199
 Jesus

00:24:17.199 --> 00:24:17.899
 metaphor

00:24:17.899 --> 00:24:19.359
 dry

00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:20.379
 thirsty

00:24:20.379 --> 00:24:21.739
 souls

00:24:21.739 --> 00:24:23.719
 so we

00:24:23.719 --> 00:24:23.899
 set

00:24:23.899 --> 00:24:24.279
 ourselves

00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:24.799
 to the

00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:25.179
 pursuit

00:24:25.179 --> 00:24:25.739
 of

00:24:25.739 --> 00:24:26.659
 passions

00:24:26.659 --> 00:24:28.239
 trivial

00:24:28.239 --> 00:24:28.479
 and

00:24:28.479 --> 00:24:29.000
 temporal

00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:30.059
 comforts

00:24:30.059 --> 00:24:30.859
 the

00:24:30.859 --> 00:24:31.319
 fulfillment

00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:31.659
 of

00:24:31.659 --> 00:24:32.159
 sinful

00:24:32.159 --> 00:24:33.039
 desires

00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:33.500
 and we

00:24:33.500 --> 00:24:34.259
 foolishly

00:24:34.259 --> 00:24:34.659
 think

00:24:34.659 --> 00:24:35.599
 that we

00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:35.899
 will find

00:24:35.899 --> 00:24:36.659
 satisfaction

00:24:36.659 --> 00:24:37.819
 for our

00:24:37.819 --> 00:24:38.199
 thirst

00:24:38.199 --> 00:24:39.779
 nothing

00:24:39.779 --> 00:24:40.679
 in this

00:24:40.679 --> 00:24:41.219
 world

00:24:41.219 --> 00:24:41.719
 that will

00:24:41.719 --> 00:24:42.279
 satisfy

00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:42.979
 the thirst

00:24:42.979 --> 00:24:43.379
 of our

00:24:43.379 --> 00:24:43.819
 souls

00:24:43.819 --> 00:24:45.700
 God

00:24:45.700 --> 00:24:45.879
 says

00:24:45.879 --> 00:24:46.099
 of the

00:24:46.099 --> 00:24:46.439
 Israelites

00:24:46.439 --> 00:24:46.720
 in

00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:47.039
 Jeremiah

00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:47.399
 chapter

00:24:47.399 --> 00:24:47.740
 2

00:24:47.740 --> 00:24:48.119
 verse

00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:48.839
 13

00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:49.039
 my

00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:49.319
 people

00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:49.500
 have

00:24:49.500 --> 00:24:49.859
 committed

00:24:49.859 --> 00:24:51.079
 two

00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:51.579
 evils

00:24:51.579 --> 00:24:52.839
 they have

00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:53.279
 forsaken

00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:53.599
 me

00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:53.939
 the

00:24:53.939 --> 00:24:54.439
 fountain

00:24:54.439 --> 00:24:54.819
 of

00:24:54.819 --> 00:24:55.259
 living

00:24:55.259 --> 00:24:55.899
 waters

00:24:55.899 --> 00:24:57.319
 and

00:24:57.319 --> 00:24:58.299
 secondly

00:24:58.299 --> 00:24:58.839
 they have

00:24:58.839 --> 00:24:59.579
 hewed out

00:24:59.579 --> 00:25:00.480
 cisterns

00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:00.700
 for the

00:25:00.700 --> 00:25:00.939
 water

00:25:00.939 --> 00:25:02.460
 they have

00:25:02.460 --> 00:25:03.059
 forsaken

00:25:03.059 --> 00:25:03.740
 the source

00:25:03.740 --> 00:25:04.519
 of living

00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:04.939
 water

00:25:04.939 --> 00:25:05.339
 and they

00:25:05.339 --> 00:25:05.460
 are

00:25:05.460 --> 00:25:06.000
 attempting

00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:06.679
 to hold

00:25:06.679 --> 00:25:07.119
 water

00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:07.779
 with a

00:25:07.779 --> 00:25:08.099
 thing

00:25:08.099 --> 00:25:08.740
 that can

00:25:08.740 --> 00:25:09.179
 hold

00:25:09.179 --> 00:25:10.059
 no

00:25:10.059 --> 00:25:11.500
 water

00:25:11.500 --> 00:25:13.079
 this is

00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:13.779
 so tragic

00:25:13.779 --> 00:25:15.980
 so epically

00:25:15.980 --> 00:25:16.900
 tragic

00:25:16.900 --> 00:25:17.680
 the delusion

00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:18.220
 to think

00:25:18.220 --> 00:25:19.319
 that ultimate

00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:20.019
 satisfaction

00:25:20.019 --> 00:25:20.519
 will come

00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:08.220
 it means

00:27:08.220 --> 00:27:08.840
 to drink

00:27:08.840 --> 00:27:09.660
 of Jesus

00:27:09.660 --> 00:27:10.400
 take hold

00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:10.779
 of him

00:27:10.779 --> 00:27:11.779
 and believe

00:27:11.779 --> 00:27:12.360
 in him

00:27:12.360 --> 00:27:12.940
 for the

00:27:12.940 --> 00:27:13.340
 salvation

00:27:13.340 --> 00:27:14.360
 of your

00:27:14.360 --> 00:27:14.620
 soul

00:27:14.620 --> 00:27:15.360
 trust that

00:27:15.360 --> 00:27:16.019
 he will be

00:27:16.019 --> 00:27:17.319
 the source

00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:18.299
 of that

00:27:18.299 --> 00:27:19.600
 soul

00:27:19.600 --> 00:27:20.680
 satisfaction

00:27:20.680 --> 00:27:21.340
 that you

00:27:21.340 --> 00:27:21.920
 so

00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:23.519
 long for

00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:24.420
 thirsty

00:27:24.420 --> 00:27:24.799
 soul

00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:25.779
 you won't

00:27:25.779 --> 00:27:26.259
 find it

00:27:26.259 --> 00:27:27.460
 anywhere

00:27:27.460 --> 00:27:27.920
 else

00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:29.340
 if anyone

00:27:29.340 --> 00:27:30.380
 thirsts

00:27:30.380 --> 00:27:31.000
 let him

00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:31.740
 come to

00:27:31.740 --> 00:27:32.779
 Christ

00:27:32.779 --> 00:27:34.619
 and drink

00:27:34.619 --> 00:27:37.519
 and he

00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:38.000
 goes on

00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:38.440
 this is not

00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:39.259
 the end

00:27:39.259 --> 00:27:39.500
 of him

00:27:39.500 --> 00:27:40.319
 crying out

00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:41.799
 he says

00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:42.200
 in verse

00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:42.859
 38

00:27:42.859 --> 00:27:43.920
 explanation

00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:44.420
 whoever

00:27:44.420 --> 00:27:46.299
 believes

00:27:46.299 --> 00:27:46.879
 in me

00:27:46.879 --> 00:27:47.920
 as the

00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:48.339
 scripture

00:27:48.339 --> 00:27:49.279
 has said

00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:50.500
 out of

00:27:50.500 --> 00:27:51.160
 his heart

00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:52.200
 will flow

00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:53.180
 rivers

00:27:53.180 --> 00:27:54.359
 of living

00:27:54.359 --> 00:27:56.000
 water

00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:58.420
 soul

00:27:58.420 --> 00:27:58.920
 satisfying

00:27:58.920 --> 00:27:59.379
 water

00:27:59.379 --> 00:27:59.759
 will be

00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:00.319
 provided

00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:01.240
 by Jesus

00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:02.439
 through

00:28:02.439 --> 00:28:03.759
 the spirit

00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:05.799
 I read

00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:06.079
 a lot

00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:06.599
 of really

00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:07.379
 dense

00:28:07.379 --> 00:28:08.659
 argumentation

00:28:08.659 --> 00:28:09.480
 across this

00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:10.019
 past week

00:28:10.019 --> 00:28:10.419
 that

00:28:10.419 --> 00:28:12.240
 I want to

00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:12.839
 totally spare

00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:13.319
 you from

00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:14.700
 there's

00:28:14.700 --> 00:28:15.399
 a lot

00:28:15.399 --> 00:28:15.720
 of

00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:17.200
 argumentation

00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:17.919
 about exactly

00:28:17.919 --> 00:28:18.700
 where the

00:28:18.700 --> 00:28:19.339
 punctuation

00:28:19.339 --> 00:28:19.939
 belongs

00:28:19.939 --> 00:28:20.439
 in verse

00:28:20.439 --> 00:28:20.960
 37

00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:21.379
 and verse

00:28:21.379 --> 00:28:22.179
 38

00:28:22.179 --> 00:28:24.859
 I found

00:28:24.859 --> 00:28:25.439
 that both

00:28:25.439 --> 00:28:26.099
 arguments

00:28:26.099 --> 00:28:26.679
 really

00:28:26.679 --> 00:28:28.319
 were kind

00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:28.599
 of moot

00:28:28.599 --> 00:28:29.319
 they essentially

00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:29.960
 met in the

00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:30.179
 middle

00:28:30.179 --> 00:28:31.879
 the concern

00:28:31.879 --> 00:28:32.720
 for some

00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:33.200
 in the way

00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:33.700
 that ESV

00:28:33.700 --> 00:28:34.339
 has punctuated

00:28:34.339 --> 00:28:34.779
 this

00:28:34.779 --> 00:28:35.659
 is that

00:28:35.659 --> 00:28:36.799
 people would

00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:37.159
 think

00:28:37.159 --> 00:28:37.779
 that

00:28:37.779 --> 00:28:39.679
 me now

00:28:39.679 --> 00:28:39.939
 as a

00:28:39.939 --> 00:28:40.439
 redeemed

00:28:40.439 --> 00:28:40.939
 man

00:28:40.939 --> 00:28:41.700
 that I

00:28:41.700 --> 00:28:42.039
 am

00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:43.079
 the source

00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:43.519
 of living

00:28:43.519 --> 00:28:43.779
 water

00:28:43.779 --> 00:28:44.419
 for others

00:28:44.419 --> 00:28:45.439
 that's the

00:28:45.439 --> 00:28:45.960
 concern

00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:46.579
 for the way

00:28:46.579 --> 00:28:46.879
 it's

00:28:46.879 --> 00:28:47.500
 punctuated

00:28:47.500 --> 00:28:47.839
 here

00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:48.919
 that I

00:28:48.919 --> 00:28:49.539
 myself

00:28:49.539 --> 00:28:50.099
 am

00:28:50.099 --> 00:28:51.460
 the source

00:28:51.460 --> 00:28:51.859
 but I

00:28:51.859 --> 00:28:52.059
 don't

00:28:52.059 --> 00:28:52.659
 think

00:28:52.659 --> 00:28:53.519
 that this

00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:54.179
 punctuation

00:28:54.179 --> 00:28:55.059
 necessarily

00:28:55.059 --> 00:28:56.059
 requires us

00:28:56.059 --> 00:28:56.799
 to think

00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:57.659
 in that

00:28:57.659 --> 00:28:58.099
 way

00:28:58.099 --> 00:28:59.919
 Christ

00:28:59.919 --> 00:29:00.719
 provides

00:29:00.719 --> 00:29:01.139
 the living

00:29:01.139 --> 00:29:01.519
 water

00:29:01.519 --> 00:29:02.219
 by the

00:29:02.219 --> 00:29:02.619
 spirit

00:29:02.619 --> 00:29:03.959
 for me

00:29:03.959 --> 00:29:04.639
 and

00:29:04.639 --> 00:29:05.879
 through

00:29:05.879 --> 00:29:06.219
 me

00:29:06.219 --> 00:29:07.439
 this

00:29:07.439 --> 00:29:08.240
 bountiful

00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:08.719
 provision

00:29:08.719 --> 00:29:10.339
 will well

00:29:10.339 --> 00:29:11.159
 up in the

00:29:11.159 --> 00:29:11.559
 believer

00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:13.019
 for their

00:29:13.019 --> 00:29:13.559
 sake

00:29:13.559 --> 00:29:14.559
 and for

00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:15.000
 the sake

00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:16.139
 of others

00:29:16.139 --> 00:29:17.500
 flows out

00:29:17.500 --> 00:29:17.799
 of us

00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:18.379
 for us

00:29:18.379 --> 00:29:18.879
 and out

00:29:18.879 --> 00:29:19.159
 of us

00:29:19.159 --> 00:29:19.519
 for

00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:20.799
 others

00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:21.939
 note

00:29:21.939 --> 00:29:22.500
 it is

00:29:22.500 --> 00:29:23.379
 flowing

00:29:23.380 --> 00:29:24.980
 and it

00:29:24.980 --> 00:29:25.200
 is

00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:26.300
 living

00:29:26.300 --> 00:29:27.400
 water

00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:29.120
 the spirit's

00:29:29.120 --> 00:29:29.560
 activity

00:29:29.560 --> 00:29:29.940
 in the

00:29:29.940 --> 00:29:30.360
 Christian's

00:29:30.360 --> 00:29:30.760
 life

00:29:30.760 --> 00:29:31.320
 is for

00:29:31.320 --> 00:29:31.580
 our

00:29:31.580 --> 00:29:32.060
 good

00:29:32.060 --> 00:29:32.340
 our

00:29:32.340 --> 00:29:32.760
 soul

00:29:32.760 --> 00:29:33.400
 satisfaction

00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:33.840
 our

00:29:33.840 --> 00:29:34.320
 growth

00:29:34.320 --> 00:29:34.500
 and

00:29:34.500 --> 00:29:34.880
 holiness

00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:35.760
 our

00:29:35.760 --> 00:29:36.460
 confidence

00:29:36.460 --> 00:29:36.940
 to the

00:29:36.940 --> 00:29:37.420
 end

00:29:37.420 --> 00:29:38.820
 but the

00:29:38.820 --> 00:29:39.200
 spirit's

00:29:39.200 --> 00:29:39.600
 activity

00:29:39.600 --> 00:29:39.940
 in the

00:29:39.940 --> 00:29:40.300
 Christian's

00:29:40.300 --> 00:29:40.600
 life

00:29:40.600 --> 00:29:40.920
 is to

00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:41.200
 be

00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:41.640
 for

00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:42.060
 also

00:29:42.060 --> 00:29:42.320
 the

00:29:42.320 --> 00:29:42.680
 benefit

00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:43.300
 of

00:29:43.300 --> 00:29:44.940
 others

00:29:44.940 --> 00:29:46.620
 we're

00:29:46.620 --> 00:29:46.840
 not

00:29:46.840 --> 00:29:47.140
 meant

00:29:47.140 --> 00:29:47.720
 to be

00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:49.380
 stagnant

00:29:49.380 --> 00:29:51.220
 would argue

00:29:51.220 --> 00:29:51.580
 with you

00:29:51.580 --> 00:29:51.860
 that if

00:29:51.860 --> 00:29:52.160
 you are

00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:52.480
 in fact

00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:53.060
 in Christ

00:29:53.060 --> 00:29:53.680
 you won't

00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:54.120
 be

00:29:54.120 --> 00:29:55.280
 stagnant

00:29:55.280 --> 00:29:55.600
 this is

00:29:55.600 --> 00:29:55.780
 a

00:29:55.780 --> 00:29:56.960
 welling

00:29:56.960 --> 00:29:57.220
 up

00:29:57.220 --> 00:29:57.780
 water

00:29:57.780 --> 00:29:59.080
 flowing

00:29:59.080 --> 00:29:59.800
 living

00:29:59.800 --> 00:30:00.200
 water

00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:00.360
 it's

00:30:00.360 --> 00:30:00.520
 going to

00:30:00.520 --> 00:30:00.700
 come

00:30:00.700 --> 00:30:01.040
 out

00:30:01.040 --> 00:30:01.200
 of

00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:01.300
 the

00:30:01.300 --> 00:30:01.600
 life

00:30:01.600 --> 00:30:02.360
 of

00:30:02.360 --> 00:30:02.500
 the

00:30:02.500 --> 00:30:02.900
 Christian

00:30:02.900 --> 00:30:03.580
 we're

00:30:03.580 --> 00:30:03.840
 supposed

00:30:03.840 --> 00:30:04.280
 to be

00:30:04.280 --> 00:30:04.860
 channels

00:30:04.860 --> 00:30:05.080
 of

00:30:05.080 --> 00:30:05.340
 living

00:30:05.340 --> 00:30:05.760
 water

00:30:05.760 --> 00:30:06.920
 to a

00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:07.240
 thirsty

00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:08.540
 world

00:30:08.540 --> 00:30:11.080
 now

00:30:11.080 --> 00:30:11.880
 there is

00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:13.080
 no

00:30:13.080 --> 00:30:13.620
 consensus

00:30:13.620 --> 00:30:14.100
 on a

00:30:14.100 --> 00:30:14.600
 specific

00:30:14.600 --> 00:30:14.980
 scripture

00:30:14.980 --> 00:30:15.440
 that Jesus

00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:15.620
 is

00:30:15.620 --> 00:30:16.020
 referencing

00:30:16.020 --> 00:30:16.340
 in

00:30:16.340 --> 00:30:16.600
 verse

00:30:16.600 --> 00:30:17.600
 38

00:30:17.600 --> 00:30:18.940
 he says

00:30:18.940 --> 00:30:19.519
 as

00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:19.860
 the

00:30:19.860 --> 00:30:20.220
 scripture

00:30:20.220 --> 00:30:21.460
 has

00:30:21.460 --> 00:30:21.820
 said

00:30:21.820 --> 00:30:23.019
 no

00:30:23.019 --> 00:30:23.500
 consensus

00:30:23.500 --> 00:30:24.279
 lots

00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:24.440
 of

00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:24.779
 different

00:30:24.779 --> 00:30:25.559
 referencing

00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:27.039
 it's

00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:27.360
 likely

00:30:27.360 --> 00:30:27.799
 that he's

00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:28.120
 doing

00:30:28.120 --> 00:30:29.100
 some

00:30:29.100 --> 00:30:29.360
 biblical

00:30:29.360 --> 00:30:29.900
 theology

00:30:29.900 --> 00:30:30.220
 here

00:30:30.220 --> 00:30:30.400
 where

00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:30.600
 he's

00:30:30.600 --> 00:30:30.920
 pulling

00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:31.360
 together

00:30:31.360 --> 00:30:31.779
 a

00:30:31.779 --> 00:30:32.200
 statement

00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:32.680
 on the

00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:32.880
 old

00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:33.460
 testament's

00:30:33.460 --> 00:30:33.940
 teaching

00:30:33.940 --> 00:30:35.019
 concerning

00:30:35.019 --> 00:30:35.580
 the

00:30:35.580 --> 00:30:36.039
 blessing

00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:36.940
 of

00:30:36.940 --> 00:30:37.279
 water

00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:37.620
 he's

00:30:37.620 --> 00:30:37.880
 pulling

00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:38.120
 the

00:30:38.120 --> 00:30:38.840
 theme

00:30:38.840 --> 00:30:39.420
 together

00:30:39.420 --> 00:30:39.740
 right

00:30:39.740 --> 00:30:39.940
 the

00:30:39.940 --> 00:30:40.259
 bible

00:30:40.259 --> 00:30:40.700
 has

00:30:40.700 --> 00:30:41.140
 taught

00:30:41.140 --> 00:30:41.519
 this

00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:42.539
 you've

00:30:42.539 --> 00:30:42.740
 been

00:30:42.740 --> 00:30:43.420
 singing

00:30:43.420 --> 00:30:43.980
 about

00:30:43.980 --> 00:30:44.580
 this

00:30:44.580 --> 00:30:45.500
 that I

00:30:45.500 --> 00:30:45.720
 am

00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:46.539
 speaking

00:30:46.539 --> 00:30:47.059
 of

00:30:47.059 --> 00:30:47.680
 psalm

00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:48.320
 113

00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:49.439
 113

00:30:49.439 --> 00:30:50.519
 118

00:30:50.519 --> 00:30:52.939
 another

00:30:52.939 --> 00:30:53.460
 example

00:30:53.460 --> 00:30:54.579
 the text

00:30:54.579 --> 00:30:55.039
 that we

00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:56.119
 read

00:30:56.119 --> 00:30:56.539
 earlier

00:30:56.539 --> 00:30:56.980
 came to

00:30:56.980 --> 00:30:57.439
 my mind

00:30:57.439 --> 00:30:57.939
 this week

00:30:57.939 --> 00:30:58.240
 as I

00:30:58.240 --> 00:30:58.539
 was

00:30:58.539 --> 00:30:59.559
 studying

00:30:59.559 --> 00:30:59.819
 this

00:30:59.819 --> 00:31:00.220
 text

00:31:00.220 --> 00:31:01.079
 it

00:31:01.079 --> 00:31:01.799
 records

00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:02.159
 an

00:31:02.159 --> 00:31:03.279
 eschatological

00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:03.879
 vision

00:31:03.879 --> 00:31:04.480
 a vision

00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:04.779
 of the

00:31:04.779 --> 00:31:05.139
 end

00:31:05.139 --> 00:31:05.379
 of

00:31:05.379 --> 00:31:05.879
 things

00:31:05.879 --> 00:31:06.559
 that

00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:06.779
 God

00:31:06.779 --> 00:31:07.220
 gave

00:31:07.220 --> 00:31:08.099
 to

00:31:08.099 --> 00:31:08.679
 Ezekiel

00:31:08.679 --> 00:31:09.559
 astounding

00:31:09.559 --> 00:31:09.779
 this

00:31:09.779 --> 00:31:10.559
 water

00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:10.879
 that

00:31:10.879 --> 00:31:11.700
 flows

00:31:11.700 --> 00:31:12.359
 out

00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:12.539
 of

00:31:12.539 --> 00:31:12.700
 the

00:31:12.700 --> 00:31:13.039
 temple

00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:13.359
 and it

00:31:13.359 --> 00:31:13.839
 builds

00:31:13.839 --> 00:31:14.099
 and it

00:31:14.099 --> 00:31:14.619
 grows

00:31:14.619 --> 00:31:15.039
 and it

00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:16.039
 blesses

00:31:16.039 --> 00:31:16.220
 let me

00:31:16.220 --> 00:31:16.519
 read it

00:31:16.519 --> 00:31:17.059
 for us

00:31:17.059 --> 00:31:17.879
 one more

00:31:17.879 --> 00:31:18.259
 time

00:31:18.259 --> 00:31:20.619
 Ezekiel

00:31:20.619 --> 00:31:21.379
 47

00:31:21.379 --> 00:31:21.720
 verses

00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:22.559
 1-12

00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:23.720
 then he

00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:24.159
 brought me

00:31:24.159 --> 00:31:24.599
 back to

00:31:24.599 --> 00:31:24.859
 the door

00:31:24.859 --> 00:31:25.119
 of the

00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:25.379
 temple

00:31:25.379 --> 00:31:26.099
 and behold

00:31:26.099 --> 00:31:27.119
 water

00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:27.879
 was issuing

00:31:27.879 --> 00:31:28.619
 from below

00:31:28.619 --> 00:31:29.279
 the threshold

00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:29.679
 of the

00:31:29.679 --> 00:31:29.940
 temple

00:31:29.940 --> 00:31:30.539
 toward the

00:31:30.539 --> 00:31:30.960
 east

00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:31.419
 for the

00:31:31.419 --> 00:31:31.679
 temple

00:31:31.679 --> 00:31:32.240
 faced

00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:33.159
 east

00:31:33.159 --> 00:31:34.339
 the water

00:31:34.339 --> 00:31:34.679
 was flowing

00:31:34.679 --> 00:31:35.279
 down from

00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:35.759
 below the

00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:36.279
 south end

00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:36.519
 of the

00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:36.859
 threshold

00:31:36.859 --> 00:31:37.139
 of the

00:31:37.139 --> 00:31:37.440
 temple

00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:37.940
 south of

00:31:37.940 --> 00:31:38.079
 the

00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:38.399
 altar

00:31:38.399 --> 00:31:39.559
 then he

00:31:39.559 --> 00:31:39.879
 brought me

00:31:39.879 --> 00:31:40.240
 out by

00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:40.559
 way

00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:40.819
 of the

00:31:40.819 --> 00:31:41.059
 north

00:31:41.059 --> 00:31:41.299
 gate

00:31:41.299 --> 00:31:41.639
 and led

00:31:41.639 --> 00:31:41.779
 me

00:31:41.779 --> 00:31:42.139
 around

00:31:42.139 --> 00:31:42.339
 the

00:31:42.339 --> 00:31:42.700
 outside

00:31:42.700 --> 00:31:43.039
 to the

00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:43.059
!

00:31:43.059 --> 00:31:43.299
 outer

00:31:43.299 --> 00:31:43.539
 gate

00:31:43.539 --> 00:31:43.700
 that

00:31:43.700 --> 00:31:44.039
 faces

00:31:44.039 --> 00:31:44.319
 toward

00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:44.480
 the

00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:44.740
 east

00:31:44.740 --> 00:31:45.319
 and behold

00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:45.779
 the water

00:31:45.779 --> 00:31:46.559
 was trickling

00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:47.319
 out on

00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:47.460
 the

00:31:47.460 --> 00:31:47.700
 south

00:31:47.700 --> 00:31:48.220
 side

00:31:48.220 --> 00:31:49.819
 going on

00:31:49.819 --> 00:31:50.420
 eastward

00:31:50.420 --> 00:31:50.799
 with a

00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:51.740
 measuring line

00:31:51.740 --> 00:31:52.000
 in his

00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:52.180
 hand

00:31:52.180 --> 00:31:52.500
 the man

00:31:52.500 --> 00:31:52.940
 measured

00:31:52.940 --> 00:31:53.559
 a thousand

00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:54.019
 cubits

00:31:54.019 --> 00:31:54.359
 and then

00:31:54.359 --> 00:31:54.700
 led me

00:31:54.700 --> 00:31:54.880
 through

00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:55.000
 the

00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:55.380
 water

00:31:55.380 --> 00:31:55.740
 and it

00:31:55.740 --> 00:31:56.039
 was

00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:57.339
 ankle

00:31:57.339 --> 00:31:57.759
 deep

00:31:57.759 --> 00:31:59.400
 growing

00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:00.279
 grace

00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:00.599
 and

00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:01.339
 mercy

00:32:01.339 --> 00:32:02.259
 again

00:32:02.259 --> 00:32:02.400
 he

00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:02.660
 measured

00:32:02.660 --> 00:32:03.180
 a thousand

00:32:03.180 --> 00:32:03.440
 and led

00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:03.519
 me

00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:03.640
 through

00:32:03.640 --> 00:32:03.799
 the

00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:04.059
 water

00:32:04.059 --> 00:32:04.339
 and it

00:32:04.339 --> 00:32:04.539
 was

00:32:04.539 --> 00:32:05.240
 knee

00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:06.039
 deep

00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:06.680
 again

00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:06.839
 he

00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:07.079
 measured

00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:07.500
 a thousand

00:32:07.500 --> 00:32:07.759
 and led

00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:07.859
 me

00:32:07.859 --> 00:32:07.980
 through

00:32:07.980 --> 00:32:08.120
 the

00:32:08.120 --> 00:32:08.359
 water

00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:08.720
 and it

00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:08.980
 was

00:32:08.980 --> 00:32:09.759
 waist

00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:10.240
 deep

00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:11.140
 again

00:32:11.140 --> 00:32:11.359
 he

00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:11.579
 measured

00:32:11.579 --> 00:32:12.039
 a thousand

00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:12.319
 and it

00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:12.859
 was a river

00:32:12.859 --> 00:32:16.319
 that I could not pass through, for the water had risen.

00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:18.319
 It was deep enough to swim in,

00:32:18.339 --> 00:32:20.479
 a river that could not be passed through.

00:32:21.619 --> 00:32:22.500
 And he said to me,

00:32:22.819 --> 00:32:24.099
 Son of man, have you seen this?

00:32:24.899 --> 00:32:27.339
 Then he led me back to the bank of the river.

00:32:28.299 --> 00:32:30.099
 As I went back, I saw on the bank of the river

00:32:30.099 --> 00:32:32.179
 very many trees on one side and on the other.

00:32:32.740 --> 00:32:33.479
 And he said to me,

00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:35.379
 This water flows toward the eastern region

00:32:35.379 --> 00:32:38.779
 and goes down into Ereba, a desert place,

00:32:39.159 --> 00:32:40.759
 and enters the sea.

00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:43.099
 The Dead Sea.

00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:44.980
 He's referring to here.

00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:46.619
 When the water flows into the sea,

00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:49.519
 the water will become fresh.

00:32:50.220 --> 00:32:51.619
 Nothing lives in the Dead Sea.

00:32:51.700 --> 00:32:52.359
 It's too salty.

00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:54.859
 The water becomes fresh,

00:32:55.859 --> 00:32:57.299
 dead to life.

00:32:58.059 --> 00:32:59.339
 And wherever the river goes,

00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:01.200
 every living creature that swarms will live,

00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:03.119
 and there will be very many fish.

00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:04.539
 For this water goes there,

00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:06.619
 that the waters of the sea may become fresh,

00:33:06.619 --> 00:33:10.220
 so everything will live where the river goes.

00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:13.220
 Fishermen will stand beside the sea.

00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:16.480
 From Engadi to Eneglayim,

00:33:16.980 --> 00:33:19.259
 it will be a place for the spreading of nets.

00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:21.619
 Its fish will be of very many kinds,

00:33:21.660 --> 00:33:24.519
 like the fish of the Great Sea.

00:33:24.619 --> 00:33:27.619
 Those are two locations on the southern and northern part

00:33:27.619 --> 00:33:28.599
 of the Dead Sea.

00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:29.519
 I'm saying,

00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:30.439
 the whole Dead Sea.

00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:33.019
 The whole thing is going to be brought to life.

00:33:33.819 --> 00:33:36.099
 But its swamps and marshes will not become fresh.

00:33:36.199 --> 00:33:37.759
 They are to be left for salt.

00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:39.519
 And on the banks,

00:33:39.719 --> 00:33:40.879
 on both sides of the river,

00:33:41.059 --> 00:33:43.039
 there will grow all kinds of trees for food.

00:33:43.539 --> 00:33:44.659
 Their leaves will not wither,

00:33:44.719 --> 00:33:45.939
 nor their fruit fail,

00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:48.159
 but they will bear fresh fruit every month,

00:33:48.199 --> 00:33:51.839
 because the water for them flows from the sanctuary,

00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:53.679
 from the source,

00:33:53.899 --> 00:33:55.839
 from the source of living water.

00:33:56.599 --> 00:33:57.779
 Their fruit will be for food,

00:33:58.279 --> 00:34:01.179
 and their leaves for healing.

00:34:03.179 --> 00:34:08.199
 The Spirit does life-giving work in us,

00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:10.239
 and in others,

00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:13.239
 as we put our faith in Jesus on display,

00:34:13.439 --> 00:34:17.059
 and proclaim his goodness toward us.

00:34:17.859 --> 00:34:19.199
 If anyone thirsts,

00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:23.019
 let him come to me and drink.

00:34:24.059 --> 00:34:29.439
 Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.

00:34:31.359 --> 00:34:33.199
 Now, it needs to be said,

00:34:33.699 --> 00:34:36.879
 I'm going to wrap this little section up together,

00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:38.840
 where John notes,

00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:41.160
 for as the Spirit had not been given,

00:34:41.300 --> 00:34:45.559
 because Jesus was not yet glorified.

00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:47.820
 John is in no way suggesting

00:34:47.820 --> 00:34:49.700
 that the Spirit doesn't have activity.

00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:54.160
 This third part of the Trinitarian God is not active.

00:34:54.340 --> 00:34:56.700
 We have many examples before this time.

00:34:56.700 --> 00:35:00.800
 The Spirit has not yet been fully granted.

00:35:02.160 --> 00:35:04.380
 We're living in this in-between time.

00:35:04.500 --> 00:35:06.740
 Jesus is going to promise to send a helper.

00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:09.840
 Once he's seated at the right hand of the Father,

00:35:10.720 --> 00:35:11.900
 he's going to send the helper,

00:35:12.019 --> 00:35:14.840
 and we'll get into that later in John's Gospel.

00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:17.400
 Up to and at this time,

00:35:17.860 --> 00:35:21.320
 people could have the Spirit upon them,

00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:25.740
 but they did not have the Spirit in them.

00:35:27.080 --> 00:35:27.780
 Brothers and sisters,

00:35:27.780 --> 00:35:29.720
 we live in a blessed time.

00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:33.920
 All those who place faith in Jesus Christ,

00:35:35.600 --> 00:35:37.200
 dead to living,

00:35:37.780 --> 00:35:40.820
 have the Spirit abiding within us.

00:35:40.820 --> 00:35:43.539
 this Spirit that he's talking about here,

00:35:43.840 --> 00:35:49.740
 flow rivers of living water.

00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:51.880
 What a glorious thing.

00:35:52.420 --> 00:35:54.600
 What a moment in Jesus' ministry.

00:35:56.039 --> 00:35:58.620
 It's brought things to a high point,

00:35:58.720 --> 00:36:00.820
 and we're going to see it'll pick up steam

00:36:00.820 --> 00:36:02.720
 as we go on in our study.

00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:04.339
 Let me close.

00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:06.059
 This quote's in your bulletin.

00:36:06.939 --> 00:36:10.199
 A bit of a hymn by Horatio Bonner.

00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:13.859
 I learned this week his good friends called him Horace.

00:36:14.179 --> 00:36:16.959
 Brother Horace said,

00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:19.720
 I heard the voice of Jesus say,

00:36:20.019 --> 00:36:22.460
 Behold, I freely give.

00:36:22.980 --> 00:36:24.659
 The living water, thirsty one,

00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:27.940
 stoop down and drink and live.

00:36:28.720 --> 00:36:29.760
 I came to Jesus,

00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:33.559
 and I drank of that life-giving stream.

00:36:34.420 --> 00:36:35.800
 My thirst was quenched,

00:36:36.300 --> 00:36:37.659
 my soul revived,

00:36:37.659 --> 00:36:40.800
 and now I live in him.

00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:42.220
 Let's pray together.
