00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.080
 Do turn in your Bible to Isaiah 53.

00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:09.099
! Isaiah 53.

00:00:09.099 --> 00:00:09.099


00:00:09.099 --> 00:00:09.099


00:00:09.099 --> 00:00:09.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:14.099
 Samuel 53.

00:00:14.099 --> 00:00:12.099
 Samuel 53.

00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:14.099
 Samuel 54.

00:00:14.099 --> 00:00:12.099
 Samuel 54.

00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:12.099 --> 00:00:12.099


00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:39.039
 In the States they have to commemorate God's goodness in bringing their pilgrim fathers and allowing them to settle in the US.

00:00:40.060 --> 00:00:41.980
 There's this really strange tradition, isn't there?

00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:45.399
 If you've seen the West Wing, you'll know about it.

00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:47.159
 The presidential pardon of the Turkey.

00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:50.379
 It's real. It happened last November 2.

00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:52.760
 No one's really quite sure where it came from.

00:00:53.740 --> 00:00:55.780
 Some people blame President Truman.

00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.420
 Some people go as far back as Abraham Lincoln.

00:00:58.420 --> 00:01:07.019
 But every year on Thanksgiving, the President of America, the so-called most powerful man in the world, partners a Turkey.

00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:09.719
 You can go onto the White House website.

00:01:10.820 --> 00:01:11.820
 There are two turkeys.

00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:16.180
 A couple of years ago, one was called Pumpkin and Pecan.

00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.480
 There's names for the turkeys.

00:01:20.620 --> 00:01:26.260
 Previous winners include Marshmallow and Yam, Biscuit and Gravy, Stars and Stripes.

00:01:26.260 --> 00:01:26.939
 It's odd, isn't it?

00:01:26.939 --> 00:01:30.939
 And there's a question where you can send in your question to the President.

00:01:32.399 --> 00:01:34.819
 What happens to the Turkey after it's been pardoned?

00:01:35.739 --> 00:01:39.560
 Well, apparently for 15 years, the turkeys were sent to Kidwell Farm.

00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:40.819
 Wait for it.

00:01:41.099 --> 00:01:42.640
 Frying Pan Parade, Virginia.

00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:45.359
 The last couple of years, they've been sent to Disneyland.

00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:54.319
 So instead of ending up on somebody's Thanksgiving dinner, these turkeys spend the rest of their lives in freedom.

00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:56.519
 Another question from the website.

00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.219
 Once a turkey is pardoned, would eating it be considered a federal crime?

00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:02.739
 He says, I need to check with the Attorney General.

00:02:03.859 --> 00:02:04.579
 Bizarre, isn't it?

00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:06.840
 Absolutely bizarre.

00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:14.060
 At the heart of Thanksgiving, there is, isn't there, a pardon for the most powerful man in the universe.

00:02:15.460 --> 00:02:21.680
 At the heart of the Christian message, is a pardon for the most powerful man in the universe.

00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.099
 And it's not for turkeys.

00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:26.340
 It's for human beings.

00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:28.200
 And that is the message of the gospel.

00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:28.879
 The gospel.

00:02:29.860 --> 00:02:34.580
 There is a pardon from Jesus, God's servant, our Savior.

00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:40.700
 And yes, he is the most powerful person in the universe.

00:02:41.300 --> 00:02:43.920
 But you wouldn't know it, would you, from Isaiah 53.

00:02:44.860 --> 00:02:46.400
 It doesn't look like it.

00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:55.659
 The message of Christianity, in many ways, Isaiah 53, boils down to its simplest form.

00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:03.819
 That Jesus, God's servant, our Savior, died that you and I might live.

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:14.700
 That's why Philip, in Acts 7, can tell that if you're a eunuch, that this servant who suffered and died in the most appalling circumstances, that this is good news.

00:03:14.699 --> 00:03:17.839
 And it's good news when you understand what it's about.

00:03:17.899 --> 00:03:19.359
 Now, Isaiah 53 is a poem.

00:03:20.139 --> 00:03:21.679
 It's a song in five verses.

00:03:22.119 --> 00:03:26.060
 And it's written in 750 years before Jesus was born.

00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:33.819
 And it's written in such a way, very carefully written, that you are to read it from the inside out in.

00:03:35.379 --> 00:03:40.139
 The emphasis falls on the middle section in Isaiah 53.

00:03:40.139 --> 00:03:45.500
 The middle section, that he was pierced for our transgressions.

00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:48.899
 He was bruised for our iniquities.

00:03:49.279 --> 00:03:53.839
 The chastisement of our peace was upon him.

00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.579
 That is the middle section, verses 4 to 6.

00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:01.839
 And so the whole thing is constructed in a way that deliberately leads you to that point.

00:04:02.419 --> 00:04:05.859
 God has the first word and the last word in the song.

00:04:05.860 --> 00:04:11.360
 So if you look at chapter 52, verses 13 to 15, God introduces his servant.

00:04:11.500 --> 00:04:13.540
 He says, behold, look at my servant.

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.660
 He says, my servant will be raised and exalted and highly lifted up.

00:04:18.699 --> 00:04:20.259
 That's the first verse in the song.

00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:26.540
 And then we'll see the last verse in the song is chapter 53, verse 12.

00:04:26.540 --> 00:04:32.640
 Where God says, I will give him a place amongst the great.

00:04:32.740 --> 00:04:35.800
 I will divide him a portion with the many.

00:04:36.220 --> 00:04:39.140
 I will divide the spoil among the strong.

00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:42.439
 I'll give him a place among the great ones, literally.

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:50.500
 So, as far as God is concerned, Jesus really is the most important and powerful person in the universe.

00:04:50.500 --> 00:04:52.920
 He is highly exalted.

00:04:54.220 --> 00:04:58.819
 The highest place that heaven affords is his by sovereign right.

00:04:58.980 --> 00:05:02.819
 And yet, in between the beginning of the song and the end of the song,

00:05:03.699 --> 00:05:06.199
 we are shown something that seems to completely contradict that.

00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:10.180
 We're shown three things about the servant.

00:05:11.220 --> 00:05:15.040
 Before we want to get into that, I want us just to notice the trailer for the film.

00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:20.339
 The trailer is really verses 13 to 15, where God introduces his servant to us.

00:05:21.180 --> 00:05:24.100
 And he gives us the main theme of the film.

00:05:25.100 --> 00:05:27.000
 God shows us what the servant is going to do.

00:05:27.019 --> 00:05:27.980
 And it's bewildering.

00:05:28.500 --> 00:05:29.699
 Because it's contradictory.

00:05:29.860 --> 00:05:30.980
 Look at verse 13.

00:05:31.379 --> 00:05:32.379
 He is successful.

00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:34.399
 He is triumphant.

00:05:35.339 --> 00:05:36.579
 He is highly exalted.

00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.220
 But in verse 14, he is disfigured.

00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:42.040
 He is disgraced.

00:05:42.139 --> 00:05:43.279
 And he is mutilated.

00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:44.379
 It's the same person.

00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:46.500
 So, look what it says.

00:05:46.579 --> 00:05:49.779
 God says, behold, my servant will act wisely.

00:05:50.500 --> 00:05:53.660
 He will be raised and lifted up.

00:05:53.939 --> 00:05:55.480
 And he will be exalted.

00:05:56.660 --> 00:06:00.860
 But in verse 15, people are appalled at him.

00:06:01.019 --> 00:06:03.639
 As many were astonished at him.

00:06:04.220 --> 00:06:07.180
 Because his appearance is so mad.

00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:11.319
 He is so disfigured beyond human resemblance.

00:06:12.660 --> 00:06:15.839
 He doesn't even look like a human being, according to verse 14.

00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.899
 So, one minute, he's in the highest place of the universe.

00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:23.899
 But the next minute, he's at the point where he doesn't even look like a human being.

00:06:23.979 --> 00:06:24.979
 Just a chunk of meat.

00:06:24.980 --> 00:06:30.680
 So, you don't know, in verse 13 or 14, whether to be amazed or appalled.

00:06:31.340 --> 00:06:34.160
 You don't know whether to be delighted or disgusted at him.

00:06:34.200 --> 00:06:35.340
 Can it be the same person?

00:06:36.980 --> 00:06:41.300
 And so, God says, after introducing in his sermon, in verses 13 and 14,

00:06:41.300 --> 00:06:43.800
 So he shall sprinkle many nations.

00:06:44.860 --> 00:06:47.439
 And kings will shut their mouths because of him.

00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:50.639
 Because what they were told, they see.

00:06:51.500 --> 00:06:54.259
 And that which they've not heard, they understand.

00:06:54.400 --> 00:06:55.780
 Kings will shut their mouths.

00:06:55.980 --> 00:06:57.240
 Royalty will be speechless.

00:06:57.740 --> 00:06:59.040
 And many will be astonished.

00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:05.020
 There's amazement at the servant king.

00:07:06.460 --> 00:07:10.420
 There's a sense of shock at the servant king.

00:07:11.340 --> 00:07:14.140
 There's a sense of fear and a sense of joy.

00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:17.520
 And you and I are so familiar with it.

00:07:19.320 --> 00:07:21.020
 That it doesn't astonish us.

00:07:22.900 --> 00:07:24.060
 It should shock us.

00:07:24.060 --> 00:07:28.819
 A.W. Tozer wrote in a radio broadcast.

00:07:29.139 --> 00:07:32.319
 And his title was, Is the O Missing from Your Faith?

00:07:32.339 --> 00:07:34.420
 If you go through a good old hymn book,

00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:36.500
 and you go to the index,

00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:37.959
 and you look at O,

00:07:38.780 --> 00:07:41.000
 you will see that previous generations

00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:42.779
 wrote lots and lots of hymns,

00:07:42.840 --> 00:07:43.660
 beginning with O.

00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:46.779
 So think of some of the older songs.

00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:47.779
 And can it be?

00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:50.819
 And can it be that I should gain an interest

00:07:50.819 --> 00:07:51.879
 in the Saviour's blood?

00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:53.060
 Died he for me,

00:07:53.060 --> 00:07:54.939
 who caused his pain,

00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:56.780
 for me who him to death pursued.

00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:57.680
 Amazing love.

00:07:58.199 --> 00:07:59.060
 How can it be?

00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:01.079
 That thou, my God,

00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:01.920
 shouldst die for me.

00:08:02.939 --> 00:08:03.839
 Tis mystery all.

00:08:03.939 --> 00:08:05.420
 The immortal dies.

00:08:05.500 --> 00:08:06.620
 Who can explain

00:08:06.620 --> 00:08:08.420
 this strange design?

00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:10.939
 In vain the firstborn seraph,

00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:12.000
 the angel tries,

00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:13.220
 to summon the depths of God's.

00:08:13.340 --> 00:08:14.240
 It's astonishing.

00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:16.779
 They were not told about it,

00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:17.600
 but they will see it.

00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:19.360
 They've not heard about it,

00:08:19.379 --> 00:08:20.519
 but they will understand it.

00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:22.399
 And it's not something that you could have guessed.

00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:23.279
 And God tells us

00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:25.319
 two things that the servant's going to do.

00:08:26.139 --> 00:08:27.120
 In this introduction,

00:08:27.259 --> 00:08:27.579
 in this trailer,

00:08:27.699 --> 00:08:28.239
 verse 13,

00:08:28.299 --> 00:08:29.779
 he says that he will act wisely.

00:08:29.979 --> 00:08:31.259
 It doesn't mean he's got a high IQ.

00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:32.939
 That's not the point.

00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:36.840
 You can be very intelligent,

00:08:36.980 --> 00:08:37.259
 can't you,

00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:38.179
 and not be wise.

00:08:39.779 --> 00:08:40.279
 But this says,

00:08:40.340 --> 00:08:41.740
 my servant will act wisely.

00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:43.100
 In other words,

00:08:43.139 --> 00:08:44.120
 he will know what to do

00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:45.699
 to bring about God's purpose.

00:08:45.700 --> 00:08:48.720
 Another translation says,

00:08:48.800 --> 00:08:50.160
 my servant will prosper.

00:08:50.280 --> 00:08:50.720
 In other words,

00:08:50.780 --> 00:08:52.740
 he will succeed at what he's going to do.

00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:55.400
 So you look at the life of Jesus,

00:08:55.540 --> 00:08:56.720
 and when he's 12 years old,

00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:57.500
 in the temple,

00:08:57.860 --> 00:08:58.879
 he knows what he's doing.

00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:01.400
 The little boy has got lost in the big city,

00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:02.759
 and his mum and dad are frantic.

00:09:03.620 --> 00:09:04.820
 But when they find him,

00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:07.180
 he's there talking with the doctors of the law,

00:09:07.420 --> 00:09:08.020
 in the temple.

00:09:08.140 --> 00:09:09.480
 And they're cross, aren't they?

00:09:09.500 --> 00:09:10.759
 The parents are angry with him,

00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:11.340
 and they're worried.

00:09:11.340 --> 00:09:12.759
 And that comes out.

00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:16.180
 Your mother and I were looking everywhere for you.

00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:17.120
 What were you thinking?

00:09:17.340 --> 00:09:18.639
 Do you remember what Jesus said?

00:09:20.139 --> 00:09:22.360
 Didn't you know that I'd be about my father's business?

00:09:23.899 --> 00:09:25.259
 You mustn't think of Jesus

00:09:25.259 --> 00:09:26.620
 as some kind of wide-eyed,

00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:27.080
 innocent,

00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:27.639
 abroad,

00:09:27.780 --> 00:09:29.920
 a kind of evolutionary freak,

00:09:30.420 --> 00:09:31.700
 who's not like the rest of us.

00:09:31.980 --> 00:09:33.879
 Jesus knew what he was doing at 12 years old.

00:09:35.400 --> 00:09:36.540
 He knew what he was about.

00:09:36.540 --> 00:09:38.600
 He knew he was about his father's business.

00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:41.259
 He is the servant of the sovereign Lord,

00:09:41.340 --> 00:09:42.800
 who's come to do his father's will,

00:09:43.220 --> 00:09:44.639
 which is the sufferer to die.

00:09:46.340 --> 00:09:47.580
 My servant will act wisely.

00:09:47.700 --> 00:09:48.279
 He will prosper.

00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:51.879
 He will succeed in what I've asked him to do,

00:09:51.940 --> 00:09:52.399
 God says.

00:09:52.460 --> 00:09:53.420
 He knows what he's about.

00:09:53.700 --> 00:09:54.659
 But what is it he's about?

00:09:54.740 --> 00:09:55.600
 Look at verse 15.

00:09:57.399 --> 00:09:59.440
 So he shall sprinkle many nations.

00:10:01.620 --> 00:10:02.460
 Do you remember when we went back

00:10:02.460 --> 00:10:04.759
 through the book of Leviticus,

00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:06.860
 and the day of atonement,

00:10:06.860 --> 00:10:09.120
 that's what the priests were to do.

00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:10.500
 They were to take the blood of an animal,

00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:12.940
 and they were to sprinkle that blood

00:10:12.940 --> 00:10:13.720
 over everything.

00:10:14.740 --> 00:10:15.440
 Over the people,

00:10:15.560 --> 00:10:17.060
 to make atonement for their sins,

00:10:17.139 --> 00:10:19.100
 to declare that they were now right with God.

00:10:20.800 --> 00:10:22.399
 Sprinkling is what the priests did.

00:10:23.539 --> 00:10:25.539
 And why did God want the priests

00:10:25.539 --> 00:10:26.779
 to take the blood of an animal

00:10:26.779 --> 00:10:28.779
 and sprinkle it over everyone and everything?

00:10:29.019 --> 00:10:29.379
 Why?

00:10:30.379 --> 00:10:32.240
 To teach the seriousness of sin,

00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:33.580
 and the holiness of God.

00:10:33.580 --> 00:10:37.080
 That you can't just breathe

00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:38.680
 into the living God's presence

00:10:38.680 --> 00:10:39.740
 as if nothing has happened.

00:10:39.860 --> 00:10:40.540
 God is holy,

00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:41.820
 and we are sinners.

00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:42.840
 And you see,

00:10:42.900 --> 00:10:44.020
 not even Aaron,

00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:46.740
 Israel's great high priest,

00:10:48.920 --> 00:10:50.080
 not even Israel,

00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:51.600
 God's chosen nation,

00:10:52.259 --> 00:10:54.379
 can approach God in their own right.

00:10:54.560 --> 00:10:55.960
 The blood is going to be sprinkled.

00:10:56.180 --> 00:10:57.400
 Someone's got to die.

00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:00.379
 And the surprise, of course,

00:11:00.419 --> 00:11:01.459
 is what the servant will do.

00:11:02.539 --> 00:11:03.720
 In verse 15,

00:11:04.959 --> 00:11:05.919
 the servant's blood,

00:11:06.019 --> 00:11:06.679
 which is sprinkled,

00:11:06.819 --> 00:11:08.139
 atones for not just

00:11:08.139 --> 00:11:09.600
 the nation of Israel,

00:11:09.699 --> 00:11:10.419
 but can you see it,

00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:11.659
 for many nations.

00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:13.000
 That's the surprise.

00:11:14.620 --> 00:11:15.720
 That is the mystery

00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:17.480
 that Paul calls in the New Testament.

00:11:17.959 --> 00:11:18.740
 That this servant,

00:11:18.819 --> 00:11:20.220
 who's going to shed his blood,

00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:21.460
 is going to sprinkle

00:11:21.460 --> 00:11:22.899
 many nations,

00:11:23.299 --> 00:11:24.480
 Jew and Gentile,

00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.480
 and reconcile many nations

00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:29.399
 to God.

00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:31.779
 That's his job.

00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:33.980
 One of the three things.

00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:34.580
 First of all,

00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:35.539
 let's see the reality

00:11:35.539 --> 00:11:36.259
 of his suffering.

00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:37.180
 Look at verse 1.

00:11:38.379 --> 00:11:39.360
 Who has believed

00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:42.139
 what he's heard from us?

00:11:42.259 --> 00:11:42.800
 It's unbelievable.

00:11:44.259 --> 00:11:45.019
 And to whom is the arm

00:11:45.019 --> 00:11:46.000
 of the Lord being revealed?

00:11:47.560 --> 00:11:49.039
 For he grew up before him

00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:49.960
 like a young plant

00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:50.539
 and like a root

00:11:50.539 --> 00:11:51.279
 out of dry ground.

00:11:51.379 --> 00:11:52.860
 He had no form or majesty

00:11:52.860 --> 00:11:53.779
 that we should look at him

00:11:53.779 --> 00:11:54.819
 and no beauty

00:11:54.819 --> 00:11:55.879
 that we should desire him.

00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:57.459
 He was despised

00:11:57.459 --> 00:11:58.659
 and rejected by men,

00:11:59.059 --> 00:12:00.000
 a man of sorrows

00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:01.120
 and acquainted with grief.

00:12:01.199 --> 00:12:01.860
 It's unbelievable.

00:12:03.620 --> 00:12:05.139
 Who's believed our message?

00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:06.039
 What is that message?

00:12:07.819 --> 00:12:09.519
 What we saw in Isaiah 50 last week,

00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:10.120
 it is a message

00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:11.879
 about great strength

00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.240
 in great weakness.

00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:16.360
 God's strength

00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:17.620
 in his servant's weakness.

00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:19.199
 The arm of the Lord

00:12:19.199 --> 00:12:19.860
 revealed

00:12:19.860 --> 00:12:22.720
 in a tender shoot,

00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.500
 a root

00:12:24.500 --> 00:12:25.399
 out of dry ground.

00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:28.879
 The arm of the Lord

00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:30.320
 in verse 1

00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:31.519
 is a phrase

00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:32.240
 that crops up,

00:12:32.300 --> 00:12:32.519
 doesn't it,

00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:33.240
 in the Old Testament

00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:34.399
 again and again.

00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:37.120
 So we're told

00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:37.600
 that God

00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:38.440
 rescued

00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:39.220
 Egypt,

00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:39.860
 Israel,

00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:40.700
 out of Egypt

00:12:40.700 --> 00:12:42.279
 with an outstretched arm.

00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:44.240
 God did that.

00:12:45.300 --> 00:12:46.060
 God rolled up

00:12:46.060 --> 00:12:46.620
 his sleeves

00:12:46.620 --> 00:12:47.500
 and stretched out

00:12:47.500 --> 00:12:47.820
 his arm

00:12:47.820 --> 00:12:48.440
 to rescue

00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:48.980
 his people

00:12:48.980 --> 00:12:49.860
 out of slavery

00:12:49.860 --> 00:12:50.539
 from Egypt.

00:12:50.680 --> 00:12:51.240
 And again

00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:51.820
 and again

00:12:51.820 --> 00:12:53.919
 we find that phrase

00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:54.740
 used to describe

00:12:54.740 --> 00:12:55.240
 that event.

00:12:55.580 --> 00:12:56.139
 The arm

00:12:56.139 --> 00:12:56.580
 of the Lord

00:12:56.580 --> 00:12:57.159
 has done that.

00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:58.139
 His arm

00:12:58.139 --> 00:12:59.259
 is not too short

00:12:59.259 --> 00:13:00.159
 to save.

00:13:02.019 --> 00:13:02.680
 The Lord

00:13:02.680 --> 00:13:03.080
 rolled up

00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:03.680
 his sleeves.

00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:05.779
 I've seen your plight,

00:13:05.899 --> 00:13:06.759
 I've heard your cries

00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:08.060
 and I have come down

00:13:08.060 --> 00:13:09.019
 to deliver you.

00:13:09.980 --> 00:13:10.580
 The arm

00:13:10.580 --> 00:13:11.200
 of the Lord

00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:11.899
 stands for

00:13:11.899 --> 00:13:13.300
 his outstretched arm,

00:13:13.860 --> 00:13:14.480
 his strength

00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:15.100
 to rescue.

00:13:16.180 --> 00:13:16.680
 The arm

00:13:16.680 --> 00:13:17.139
 of the Lord

00:13:17.139 --> 00:13:18.060
 means his power

00:13:18.059 --> 00:13:19.099
 to save his people.

00:13:21.379 --> 00:13:21.939
 David Morgan

00:13:21.939 --> 00:13:23.279
 was one of the leaders

00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:24.699
 in the 1859

00:13:24.699 --> 00:13:25.639
 revival in Wales

00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:26.419
 and David Morgan

00:13:26.419 --> 00:13:27.159
 was a very boring

00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:27.519
 preacher.

00:13:29.119 --> 00:13:29.919
 And people didn't

00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:30.459
 like to listen

00:13:30.459 --> 00:13:31.159
 to David Morgan.

00:13:31.339 --> 00:13:31.699
 There were other

00:13:31.699 --> 00:13:32.259
 preachers that they

00:13:32.259 --> 00:13:33.259
 preferred to listen to

00:13:33.259 --> 00:13:34.879
 because he was so dull.

00:13:36.319 --> 00:13:36.699
 Anyway,

00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:37.459
 he was new to preach

00:13:37.459 --> 00:13:37.859
 at one of these

00:13:37.859 --> 00:13:38.519
 great gatherings

00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:39.599
 and just at the

00:13:39.599 --> 00:13:40.819
 outbreak of the

00:13:40.819 --> 00:13:41.279
 revival,

00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:42.359
 someone introduced

00:13:42.359 --> 00:13:43.619
 him and prayed

00:13:43.619 --> 00:13:44.139
 for him and this

00:13:44.139 --> 00:13:45.000
 is how they prayed.

00:13:46.599 --> 00:13:47.079
 He said,

00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:48.379
 Lord David Morgan,

00:13:48.540 --> 00:13:49.639
 not much of a preacher,

00:13:50.180 --> 00:13:51.300
 just a tattered

00:13:51.300 --> 00:13:52.259
 old sleeve.

00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:53.680
 Put your arm

00:13:53.680 --> 00:13:53.980
 in him.

00:13:54.780 --> 00:13:55.639
 It's a great prayer

00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:56.139
 for a preacher.

00:13:57.620 --> 00:13:58.340
 Just a tattered

00:13:58.340 --> 00:13:59.000
 old sleeve.

00:13:59.280 --> 00:13:59.720
 It's not a

00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:00.480
 designer label.

00:14:02.860 --> 00:14:03.259
 Jesus,

00:14:04.259 --> 00:14:05.759
 it's not even

00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:06.740
 a designer label.

00:14:08.420 --> 00:14:08.860
 What is he?

00:14:08.900 --> 00:14:09.800
 He is a tattered

00:14:09.800 --> 00:14:11.120
 old Galilean

00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:11.520
 peasant

00:14:11.520 --> 00:14:12.140
 homespun.

00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:12.500
 I mean,

00:14:12.560 --> 00:14:13.500
 can anything good

00:14:13.500 --> 00:14:14.360
 come out of Nazareth?

00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:16.779
 Nazareth was

00:14:16.779 --> 00:14:17.539
 even on the map.

00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:18.820
 He is the

00:14:18.820 --> 00:14:19.840
 illegitimate son

00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:20.639
 of a Galilean

00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:21.039
 peasant.

00:14:22.100 --> 00:14:23.060
 Is this the

00:14:23.060 --> 00:14:23.639
 son of a

00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:24.180
 carpenter,

00:14:24.259 --> 00:14:24.800
 they said?

00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:26.500
 Why should we

00:14:26.500 --> 00:14:27.000
 listen to you?

00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:28.220
 Who has believed

00:14:28.220 --> 00:14:29.120
 our report?

00:14:29.180 --> 00:14:29.879
 Who has believed

00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:30.720
 our message

00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:31.620
 that the arm

00:14:31.620 --> 00:14:32.159
 of the Lord

00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:32.940
 is going to be

00:14:32.940 --> 00:14:33.480
 revealed

00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:35.139
 in this tender

00:14:35.139 --> 00:14:35.639
 shoot,

00:14:36.340 --> 00:14:36.960
 this root out

00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:37.659
 of dry ground?

00:14:38.580 --> 00:14:39.539
 You expect

00:14:39.539 --> 00:14:40.279
 some kind of

00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:41.340
 charismatic figure,

00:14:41.500 --> 00:14:42.620
 some dynamic

00:14:42.620 --> 00:14:43.420
 conqueror,

00:14:43.419 --> 00:14:44.599
 some Alexander

00:14:44.599 --> 00:14:45.379
 the Great,

00:14:46.479 --> 00:14:47.459
 not some

00:14:47.459 --> 00:14:48.199
 not particularly

00:14:48.199 --> 00:14:48.819
 good looking

00:14:48.819 --> 00:14:49.379
 Galilean

00:14:49.379 --> 00:14:49.740
 peasant,

00:14:50.740 --> 00:14:51.079
 that you

00:14:51.079 --> 00:14:51.439
 wouldn't even

00:14:51.439 --> 00:14:51.860
 cross the

00:14:51.860 --> 00:14:52.379
 road for.

00:14:53.779 --> 00:14:54.500
 You might

00:14:54.500 --> 00:14:54.779
 think,

00:14:54.979 --> 00:14:55.379
 we want

00:14:55.379 --> 00:14:56.000
 someone like

00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:56.779
 Israel's

00:14:56.779 --> 00:14:57.319
 first king.

00:14:57.419 --> 00:14:57.519
 Do you

00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:58.219
 remember Saul

00:14:58.219 --> 00:14:59.259
 who stood

00:14:59.259 --> 00:14:59.740
 head and

00:14:59.740 --> 00:15:00.299
 shoulders above

00:15:00.299 --> 00:15:00.819
 the rest?

00:15:00.939 --> 00:15:01.699
 Or King

00:15:01.699 --> 00:15:02.399
 David who

00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:02.759
 had this

00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:03.559
 charismatic

00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:05.740
 personality

00:15:05.740 --> 00:15:06.179
 who was so

00:15:06.179 --> 00:15:06.759
 good looking,

00:15:07.379 --> 00:15:08.059
 who was so

00:15:08.059 --> 00:15:08.799
 popular with

00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:09.319
 the people?

00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:10.919
 No,

00:15:11.179 --> 00:15:11.819
 this servant

00:15:11.820 --> 00:15:12.580
 will be

00:15:12.580 --> 00:15:13.580
 despised,

00:15:13.680 --> 00:15:14.260
 verse 3,

00:15:14.400 --> 00:15:15.120
 and rejected.

00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:17.700
 It's no

00:15:17.700 --> 00:15:18.340
 wonder Isaiah

00:15:18.340 --> 00:15:18.600
 says,

00:15:18.660 --> 00:15:19.160
 who's believed

00:15:19.160 --> 00:15:19.780
 our report?

00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:21.420
 They were

00:15:21.420 --> 00:15:21.820
 expecting,

00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:22.220
 weren't they,

00:15:22.340 --> 00:15:23.080
 a dynamic

00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:23.740
 deliverer?

00:15:24.900 --> 00:15:25.200
 They were

00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:25.780
 expecting a

00:15:25.780 --> 00:15:26.440
 mighty king

00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:27.000
 and instead

00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:27.600
 they got a

00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:28.080
 tattered,

00:15:28.379 --> 00:15:28.820
 ragged,

00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:29.700
 empty sleeve

00:15:29.700 --> 00:15:30.300
 of a man.

00:15:31.740 --> 00:15:32.440
 Forget about

00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:32.840
 the stained

00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:33.640
 glass windows,

00:15:34.040 --> 00:15:34.540
 forget about

00:15:34.540 --> 00:15:35.080
 the images

00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:35.620
 in the

00:15:35.620 --> 00:15:36.100
 children's

00:15:36.100 --> 00:15:36.440
 Bible,

00:15:36.820 --> 00:15:37.460
 Jesus was

00:15:37.460 --> 00:15:38.280
 not impressive

00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:38.740
 to look

00:15:38.740 --> 00:15:39.039
 at.

00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:41.419
 In fact,

00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:41.919
 if Jesus

00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:42.600
 walked past

00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:42.860
 you in

00:15:42.860 --> 00:15:43.179
 the street,

00:15:43.259 --> 00:15:43.639
 you wouldn't

00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:43.980
 pay the

00:15:43.980 --> 00:15:44.639
 blindest bit

00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:45.319
 of notice

00:15:45.319 --> 00:15:47.100
 because he

00:15:47.100 --> 00:15:47.639
 had no

00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:48.399
 form or

00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:48.959
 majesty

00:15:48.959 --> 00:15:50.439
 that you

00:15:50.439 --> 00:15:50.959
 should look

00:15:50.959 --> 00:15:51.319
 at him.

00:15:52.259 --> 00:15:52.919
 He had

00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:53.740
 no beauty

00:15:53.740 --> 00:15:54.980
 that you

00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:55.860
 would desire

00:15:55.860 --> 00:15:56.299
 him.

00:15:56.419 --> 00:15:56.980
 He was

00:15:56.980 --> 00:15:57.459
 Mr.

00:15:57.620 --> 00:15:58.199
 Average.

00:16:00.959 --> 00:16:01.220
 And so

00:16:01.220 --> 00:16:01.679
 how can it

00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:02.279
 be that the

00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:03.000
 one that God

00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:03.480
 is going to

00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:04.360
 use to save

00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:04.919
 the world

00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:05.339
 is like

00:16:05.339 --> 00:16:05.779
 this?

00:16:05.779 --> 00:16:08.779
 So why

00:16:08.779 --> 00:16:09.139
 did God

00:16:09.139 --> 00:16:09.519
 choose to

00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:09.699
 do it

00:16:09.699 --> 00:16:10.000
 this way?

00:16:10.079 --> 00:16:10.159
 Well,

00:16:10.179 --> 00:16:10.339
 let's

00:16:10.339 --> 00:16:10.600
 secondly

00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:11.299
 see the

00:16:11.299 --> 00:16:11.799
 reason for

00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:11.919
 his

00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:12.259
 suffering.

00:16:13.699 --> 00:16:14.000
 And this

00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:14.220
 is the

00:16:14.220 --> 00:16:14.559
 heart of

00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:14.839
 the poem

00:16:14.839 --> 00:16:15.259
 from verses

00:16:15.259 --> 00:16:15.699
 4 to

00:16:15.699 --> 00:16:15.939
 6.

00:16:16.019 --> 00:16:16.199
 And it

00:16:16.199 --> 00:16:16.500
 is structured

00:16:16.500 --> 00:16:16.879
 in such

00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:17.299
 a way that

00:16:17.299 --> 00:16:17.759
 all the

00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:18.100
 emphasis

00:16:18.100 --> 00:16:19.079
 lies here.

00:16:19.839 --> 00:16:20.240
 Surely

00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:20.559
 he has

00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:20.980
 bore our

00:16:20.980 --> 00:16:21.639
 griefs,

00:16:22.259 --> 00:16:23.019
 carried our

00:16:23.019 --> 00:16:23.519
 sorrows,

00:16:23.620 --> 00:16:23.959
 yet we

00:16:23.959 --> 00:16:24.519
 considered him

00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:24.959
 stricken,

00:16:25.179 --> 00:16:25.679
 smitten by

00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:26.059
 God and

00:16:26.059 --> 00:16:26.419
 afflicted,

00:16:26.459 --> 00:16:26.699
 but he

00:16:26.699 --> 00:16:27.179
 was pierced

00:16:27.179 --> 00:16:27.500
 for our

00:16:27.500 --> 00:16:28.199
 transgressions,

00:16:28.459 --> 00:16:28.799
 he was

00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:29.319
 crushed for

00:16:29.319 --> 00:16:29.579
 our

00:16:29.579 --> 00:16:30.059
 iniquities,

00:16:31.179 --> 00:16:31.679
 and upon

00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:32.159
 him the

00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:32.799
 chastisement

00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:33.220
 that brought

00:16:33.220 --> 00:16:33.759
 us peace,

00:16:34.179 --> 00:16:34.639
 and by his

00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:35.059
 wounds we

00:16:35.059 --> 00:16:35.519
 are healed.

00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:37.679
 Oh,

00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:38.059
 we like

00:16:38.059 --> 00:16:38.399
 sheep have

00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:38.819
 gone astray,

00:16:38.899 --> 00:16:39.220
 we've turned

00:16:39.220 --> 00:16:39.840
 everyone to

00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:40.120
 his own

00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:40.279
 way,

00:16:40.340 --> 00:16:40.539
 and the

00:16:40.539 --> 00:16:40.960
 Lord has

00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:41.340
 laid on

00:16:41.340 --> 00:16:41.679
 him the

00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:42.100
 iniquity

00:16:42.100 --> 00:16:42.360
 of us

00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:42.699
 all.

00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:47.399
 What does

00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:47.799
 that imply?

00:16:47.860 --> 00:16:48.220
 It implies

00:16:48.220 --> 00:16:48.559
 that we are

00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:48.899
 not at

00:16:48.899 --> 00:16:49.259
 peace with

00:16:49.259 --> 00:16:49.480
 God,

00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:49.960
 in fact we

00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:50.279
 are at

00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:50.720
 war with

00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:51.039
 God.

00:16:52.659 --> 00:16:53.259
 We are

00:16:53.259 --> 00:16:54.100
 rebels

00:16:54.100 --> 00:16:54.939
 against

00:16:54.939 --> 00:16:55.480
 God.

00:16:56.939 --> 00:16:57.360
 That's what

00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:57.840
 sin really

00:16:57.840 --> 00:16:58.259
 is.

00:16:59.259 --> 00:16:59.659
 The

00:16:59.659 --> 00:17:00.039
 punishment

00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:00.639
 that brings

00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:01.480
 us peace

00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:02.559
 with God

00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:03.460
 was upon

00:17:03.460 --> 00:17:03.799
 him.

00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:06.320
 it should

00:17:06.320 --> 00:17:06.420
 have

00:17:06.420 --> 00:17:06.660
 been on

00:17:06.660 --> 00:17:06.840
 us.

00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:07.540
 Notice how

00:17:07.540 --> 00:17:08.040
 he piles

00:17:08.040 --> 00:17:08.380
 up the

00:17:08.380 --> 00:17:08.860
 words here

00:17:08.860 --> 00:17:09.360
 to describe

00:17:09.360 --> 00:17:09.580
 our

00:17:09.580 --> 00:17:10.180
 plight.

00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:11.100
 The word

00:17:11.100 --> 00:17:11.920
 transgression,

00:17:12.080 --> 00:17:12.620
 it means a

00:17:12.620 --> 00:17:13.660
 willful and

00:17:13.660 --> 00:17:14.520
 a deliberate

00:17:14.520 --> 00:17:15.620
 rejection of

00:17:15.620 --> 00:17:16.380
 God's law.

00:17:17.700 --> 00:17:18.400
 It's don't

00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:19.000
 walk on the

00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:19.640
 grass and you

00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:20.280
 walk on the

00:17:20.280 --> 00:17:20.740
 grass.

00:17:21.500 --> 00:17:22.080
 It's a

00:17:22.080 --> 00:17:22.660
 crossing of

00:17:22.660 --> 00:17:23.300
 the boundary.

00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:25.160
 It's a

00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:26.080
 deliberate and

00:17:26.080 --> 00:17:27.220
 willful rejection

00:17:27.220 --> 00:17:27.759
 of God's

00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:28.380
 moral law.

00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:30.100
 And God

00:17:30.100 --> 00:17:30.520
 says you

00:17:30.520 --> 00:17:31.060
 shall not

00:17:31.060 --> 00:17:31.780
 commit adultery

00:17:31.779 --> 00:17:32.000
 and we

00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:32.299
 say I

00:17:32.299 --> 00:17:32.460
 don't

00:17:32.460 --> 00:17:32.920
 care what

00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:33.240
 God is

00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:33.500
 going to

00:17:33.500 --> 00:17:33.799
 say.

00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:34.440
 It

00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:34.740
 makes me

00:17:34.740 --> 00:17:35.279
 feel good.

00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:35.680
 You

00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:36.139
 shall not

00:17:36.139 --> 00:17:36.680
 lie but it

00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:37.119
 doesn't matter

00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:37.579
 what God

00:17:37.579 --> 00:17:38.039
 says.

00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:38.599
 Everyone

00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:39.139
 lies.

00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:39.799
 That is

00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:40.399
 transgression.

00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:43.279
 It's

00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:43.879
 crossing the

00:17:43.879 --> 00:17:44.460
 boundary that

00:17:44.460 --> 00:17:44.879
 God has

00:17:44.879 --> 00:17:45.160
 set.

00:17:46.579 --> 00:17:46.839
 And the

00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:47.440
 word iniquity

00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:47.759
 is a

00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:48.399
 different word.

00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:49.099
 It comes

00:17:49.099 --> 00:17:49.379
 from the

00:17:49.379 --> 00:17:49.779
 word to

00:17:49.779 --> 00:17:50.480
 bend or

00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:51.099
 to twist.

00:17:51.940 --> 00:17:52.139
 And it

00:17:52.139 --> 00:17:52.899
 reflects that

00:17:52.899 --> 00:17:53.700
 there's a

00:17:53.700 --> 00:17:54.799
 pervertedness

00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:55.220
 about human

00:17:55.220 --> 00:17:55.619
 nature.

00:17:56.839 --> 00:17:57.180
 That it's

00:17:57.180 --> 00:17:57.559
 not just

00:17:57.559 --> 00:17:57.899
 what I

00:17:57.899 --> 00:17:58.859
 do is

00:17:58.859 --> 00:17:59.000
 the

00:17:59.000 --> 00:17:59.299
 problem.

00:17:59.399 --> 00:17:59.500
 It's

00:17:59.500 --> 00:17:59.799
 what I

00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:00.139
 am.

00:18:01.779 --> 00:18:02.440
 I am

00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:02.839
 not a

00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:03.099
 sinner

00:18:03.099 --> 00:18:04.379
 because I

00:18:04.379 --> 00:18:04.819
 sin.

00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:06.740
 That may

00:18:06.740 --> 00:18:06.899
 sound

00:18:06.899 --> 00:18:07.980
 complicated but

00:18:07.980 --> 00:18:08.359
 it's very

00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:08.920
 very important

00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:09.940
 to get

00:18:09.940 --> 00:18:10.160
 hold of.

00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:10.740
 I am

00:18:10.740 --> 00:18:11.220
 not a

00:18:11.220 --> 00:18:11.399
 sinner.

00:18:11.579 --> 00:18:11.899
 You are

00:18:11.899 --> 00:18:12.259
 not a

00:18:12.259 --> 00:18:12.700
 sinner because

00:18:12.700 --> 00:18:13.460
 you sin.

00:18:17.980 --> 00:18:18.859
 You sin

00:18:18.859 --> 00:18:19.319
 and I

00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:20.160
 sin because

00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:20.539
 I am a

00:18:20.539 --> 00:18:20.740
 sinner.

00:18:22.740 --> 00:18:23.259
 And so

00:18:23.259 --> 00:18:23.680
 my problem

00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:23.960
 is not

00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:24.279
 just the

00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:24.700
 things I

00:18:24.700 --> 00:18:25.519
 do or

00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:25.779
 that I

00:18:25.779 --> 00:18:26.259
 don't do.

00:18:26.339 --> 00:18:26.819
 My problem

00:18:26.819 --> 00:18:27.299
 is what

00:18:27.299 --> 00:18:27.879
 I am.

00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:30.500
 And

00:18:30.500 --> 00:18:30.859
 amazingly

00:18:30.859 --> 00:18:31.559
 Jesus pays

00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:31.839
 for that.

00:18:31.899 --> 00:18:32.179
 He pays

00:18:32.179 --> 00:18:32.440
 for what

00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:32.879
 I do

00:18:32.879 --> 00:18:33.599
 yes but

00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:33.960
 he pays

00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:34.279
 for what

00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:34.799
 I am.

00:18:37.399 --> 00:18:37.799
 He

00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:38.440
 became sin

00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:38.859
 for us.

00:18:39.099 --> 00:18:39.480
 He who

00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:40.319
 knew no

00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:40.899
 sin

00:18:40.899 --> 00:18:42.740
 became sin.

00:18:45.379 --> 00:18:46.019
 So just

00:18:46.019 --> 00:18:47.119
 as on the

00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:47.399
 day of

00:18:47.399 --> 00:18:47.879
 atonement

00:18:47.879 --> 00:18:49.039
 the sin

00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:49.259
 of the

00:18:49.259 --> 00:18:49.679
 people do

00:18:49.679 --> 00:18:50.179
 remember it

00:18:50.179 --> 00:18:50.399
 when we

00:18:50.399 --> 00:18:50.659
 looked at

00:18:50.659 --> 00:18:51.000
 Leviticus

00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:51.419
 it was

00:18:51.419 --> 00:18:51.940
 laid on

00:18:51.940 --> 00:18:52.440
 the goat

00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:53.779
 and the

00:18:53.779 --> 00:18:54.119
 goat was

00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:54.659
 led into

00:18:54.659 --> 00:18:55.119
 the wilderness

00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:55.960
 so Jesus

00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:56.500
 takes the

00:18:56.500 --> 00:18:57.059
 sins of

00:18:57.059 --> 00:18:57.460
 his people

00:18:57.460 --> 00:18:58.059
 upon himself

00:18:58.059 --> 00:18:58.339
 and he

00:18:58.339 --> 00:18:58.659
 carries

00:18:58.659 --> 00:18:59.200
 them away.

00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:02.960
 He

00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:03.099
 was

00:19:03.099 --> 00:19:03.379
 delivered

00:19:03.379 --> 00:19:03.759
 up for

00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:04.000
 our

00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:04.460
 offenses

00:19:04.460 --> 00:19:05.200
 Paul

00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:05.579
 says in

00:19:05.579 --> 00:19:06.059
 Romans

00:19:06.059 --> 00:19:07.299
 not his

00:19:07.299 --> 00:19:07.559
 own

00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:07.700
 he

00:19:07.700 --> 00:19:07.859
 hadn't

00:19:07.859 --> 00:19:08.200
 committed

00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:08.460
 any

00:19:08.460 --> 00:19:08.899
 offenses

00:19:08.899 --> 00:19:09.879
 but he

00:19:09.879 --> 00:19:10.019
 was

00:19:10.019 --> 00:19:10.359
 delivered

00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:10.720
 up for

00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:10.899
 our

00:19:10.899 --> 00:19:11.220
 offenses

00:19:11.220 --> 00:19:12.059
 and raised

00:19:12.059 --> 00:19:12.440
 for our

00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:13.059
 justification.

00:19:15.899 --> 00:19:16.220
 George

00:19:16.220 --> 00:19:16.819
 Bernard Shaw

00:19:16.819 --> 00:19:17.319
 once heard

00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:17.839
 this message

00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:18.159
 the same

00:19:18.159 --> 00:19:18.599
 message I'm

00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:19.039
 preaching to you

00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:19.480
 this morning

00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:21.159
 and he

00:19:21.159 --> 00:19:21.500
 heard the

00:19:21.500 --> 00:19:21.919
 message of

00:19:21.919 --> 00:19:22.399
 the cross

00:19:22.399 --> 00:19:22.859
 and the

00:19:22.859 --> 00:19:23.700
 substitutionary

00:19:23.700 --> 00:19:24.159
 atonement

00:19:24.159 --> 00:19:24.639
 of Jesus

00:19:24.639 --> 00:19:24.919
 and he

00:19:24.919 --> 00:19:25.240
 was so

00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:26.379
 offended by

00:19:26.379 --> 00:19:26.599
 it as

00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:27.059
 many people

00:19:27.059 --> 00:19:27.240
 are.

00:19:27.299 --> 00:19:27.559
 He got

00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:27.799
 up in

00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:28.039
 the middle

00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:28.259
 of the

00:19:28.259 --> 00:19:28.500
 sermon

00:19:28.500 --> 00:19:30.299
 and he

00:19:30.299 --> 00:19:30.759
 stormed out

00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:30.899
 of the

00:19:30.899 --> 00:19:31.139
 room and

00:19:31.139 --> 00:19:31.480
 he said

00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:31.679
 as he

00:19:31.679 --> 00:19:32.079
 left the

00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:32.460
 church he

00:19:32.460 --> 00:19:32.960
 shouted out

00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:33.419
 I'll pay

00:19:33.419 --> 00:19:33.679
 for my

00:19:33.679 --> 00:19:34.220
 own sins

00:19:34.220 --> 00:19:34.599
 thank you

00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:35.139
 very much.

00:19:37.639 --> 00:19:38.179
 And that's

00:19:38.179 --> 00:19:38.559
 what proud

00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:39.079
 human beings

00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:39.619
 want to do.

00:19:41.019 --> 00:19:41.619
 We don't

00:19:41.619 --> 00:19:41.980
 want to be

00:19:41.980 --> 00:19:42.659
 in anybody's

00:19:42.659 --> 00:19:42.940
 debt.

00:19:45.679 --> 00:19:46.419
 Kingsley Amis

00:19:46.419 --> 00:19:46.740
 gave an

00:19:46.740 --> 00:19:47.139
 interview to

00:19:47.139 --> 00:19:47.639
 the Telegraph

00:19:47.639 --> 00:19:48.019
 in the last

00:19:48.019 --> 00:19:48.379
 week of his

00:19:48.379 --> 00:19:48.759
 life he

00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:49.059
 wasn't a

00:19:49.059 --> 00:19:50.000
 Christian and

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:50.319
 this is what

00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:50.740
 he said.

00:19:51.700 --> 00:19:52.220
 He said

00:19:52.220 --> 00:19:52.519
 one of the

00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:53.259
 great advantages

00:19:53.259 --> 00:19:53.899
 of Christianity

00:19:53.899 --> 00:19:54.579
 is that it

00:19:54.579 --> 00:19:55.079
 offers an

00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:56.000
 explanation for

00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:56.319
 sin.

00:19:57.059 --> 00:19:57.899
 I haven't

00:19:57.899 --> 00:19:58.399
 got an

00:19:58.399 --> 00:19:59.220
 explanation for

00:19:59.220 --> 00:19:59.460
 sin.

00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:01.039
 Christianity

00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:01.819
 has got one

00:20:01.819 --> 00:20:02.599
 enormous thing

00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:02.940
 right.

00:20:03.059 --> 00:20:03.980
 Original sin.

00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:05.559
 But one of

00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:06.039
 the benefits

00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:07.099
 of organized

00:20:07.099 --> 00:20:07.819
 religion according

00:20:07.819 --> 00:20:08.359
 to Kingsley

00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:09.019
 Amis is that

00:20:09.019 --> 00:20:09.500
 you can be

00:20:09.500 --> 00:20:10.240
 forgiven your

00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:10.579
 sin.

00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:12.579
 Which must be

00:20:12.579 --> 00:20:13.139
 a wonderful

00:20:13.139 --> 00:20:13.919
 thing he said

00:20:13.919 --> 00:20:14.359
 in the last

00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:14.759
 week of his

00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:15.059
 life.

00:20:16.579 --> 00:20:17.059
 And then he

00:20:17.059 --> 00:20:17.740
 paused apparently

00:20:17.740 --> 00:20:18.440
 for a very long

00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:18.940
 time in the

00:20:18.940 --> 00:20:19.440
 interview and he

00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:19.980
 bowed his head

00:20:19.980 --> 00:20:20.759
 very low and

00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:23.000
 said I carry

00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:23.799
 my own sins

00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:24.599
 around with me.

00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:26.740
 There is nobody

00:20:26.740 --> 00:20:27.240
 around to

00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:27.759
 forgive them.

00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:31.400
 How terrifying

00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:31.980
 that is in the

00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:32.480
 last week of

00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:32.880
 your life.

00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:35.599
 I carry my

00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:36.180
 own sins

00:20:36.180 --> 00:20:36.859
 around with me.

00:20:36.940 --> 00:20:37.420
 There is no

00:20:37.420 --> 00:20:38.019
 one to forgive

00:20:38.019 --> 00:20:38.259
 them.

00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:40.779
 But there

00:20:40.779 --> 00:20:41.059
 is.

00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:44.039
 But there

00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:44.339
 is.

00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:46.920
 There is

00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:47.380
 someone there

00:20:47.380 --> 00:20:47.680
 to forgive

00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:47.880
 them.

00:20:49.180 --> 00:20:49.620
 Who is he?

00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:50.019
 Well he's the

00:20:50.019 --> 00:20:50.559
 most powerful

00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:51.859
 man in the

00:20:51.859 --> 00:20:52.240
 universe.

00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:52.940
 There is

00:20:52.940 --> 00:20:54.160
 forgiveness.

00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:54.579
 There is

00:20:54.579 --> 00:20:55.259
 pardon from

00:20:55.259 --> 00:20:56.619
 the chief

00:20:56.619 --> 00:20:57.140
 executive

00:20:57.140 --> 00:20:57.980
 officer of

00:20:57.980 --> 00:20:58.539
 the universe

00:20:58.539 --> 00:20:58.879
 and there

00:20:58.879 --> 00:20:59.119
 is a

00:20:59.119 --> 00:20:59.799
 pardon from

00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:00.140
 Jesus.

00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:00.619
 Why?

00:21:03.099 --> 00:21:03.879
 How is it

00:21:03.879 --> 00:21:05.480
 possible that

00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:06.660
 because this

00:21:06.660 --> 00:21:07.420
 man who is

00:21:07.420 --> 00:21:08.220
 indeed highly

00:21:08.220 --> 00:21:09.599
 exalted in the

00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:10.319
 highest place in

00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:10.779
 the universe,

00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:11.700
 this man has

00:21:11.700 --> 00:21:12.500
 been to the

00:21:12.500 --> 00:21:14.640
 depths and

00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:15.119
 he's taken

00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:16.000
 your sin upon

00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:16.700
 himself, he's

00:21:16.700 --> 00:21:17.059
 paid the

00:21:17.059 --> 00:21:17.460
 price.

00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:21.200
 Behold the

00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:21.960
 man upon a

00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:22.519
 cross, my

00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:23.279
 sin upon his

00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:23.579
 shoulders.

00:21:23.579 --> 00:21:26.819
 The word

00:21:26.819 --> 00:21:27.159
 for it is

00:21:27.159 --> 00:21:27.779
 substitution.

00:21:29.699 --> 00:21:30.299
 It's at the

00:21:30.299 --> 00:21:30.740
 heart of the

00:21:30.740 --> 00:21:31.539
 Christian message.

00:21:33.879 --> 00:21:34.240
 Substitution

00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:35.179
 is not

00:21:35.179 --> 00:21:35.879
 difficult to

00:21:35.879 --> 00:21:36.399
 understand.

00:21:37.220 --> 00:21:37.639
 It really

00:21:37.639 --> 00:21:38.000
 isn't.

00:21:39.339 --> 00:21:40.079
 Mothers say

00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:40.359
 to their

00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:40.960
 children, or

00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:41.339
 at least they

00:21:41.339 --> 00:21:41.679
 do when I

00:21:41.679 --> 00:21:42.379
 grew up, go

00:21:42.379 --> 00:21:42.919
 and get some

00:21:42.919 --> 00:21:43.399
 milk from

00:21:43.399 --> 00:21:43.579
 me.

00:21:44.699 --> 00:21:45.019
 What does

00:21:45.019 --> 00:21:45.339
 that mean?

00:21:45.419 --> 00:21:46.319
 You be my

00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:46.720
 substitute.

00:21:46.899 --> 00:21:47.500
 You go down

00:21:47.500 --> 00:21:47.759
 to the

00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:49.199
 shops instead

00:21:49.199 --> 00:21:51.139
 of me and

00:21:51.139 --> 00:21:51.720
 you get the

00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:52.319
 milk instead

00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:52.759
 of me.

00:21:53.579 --> 00:21:54.419
 And Jesus

00:21:54.419 --> 00:21:55.519
 went down

00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:55.960
 into the

00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:56.419
 depths of

00:21:56.419 --> 00:21:57.039
 humiliation.

00:21:58.539 --> 00:21:59.319
 He took

00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:00.039
 upon himself

00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:00.939
 the curse

00:22:00.939 --> 00:22:02.359
 of God

00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:02.879
 because of

00:22:02.879 --> 00:22:03.439
 sin so that

00:22:03.439 --> 00:22:04.299
 you did

00:22:04.299 --> 00:22:04.819
 not have to

00:22:04.819 --> 00:22:05.319
 go there.

00:22:07.019 --> 00:22:08.000
 Bearing shame

00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:09.799
 and scoffing

00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:10.919
 rude in my

00:22:10.919 --> 00:22:11.439
 place,

00:22:11.619 --> 00:22:12.359
 condemned he

00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:12.699
 stood.

00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:16.299
 Those funny

00:22:16.299 --> 00:22:16.740
 programs,

00:22:16.879 --> 00:22:17.119
 you know the

00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:17.759
 airport things

00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:19.039
 where someone

00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:20.379
 sees there's

00:22:20.379 --> 00:22:20.939
 something weird

00:22:20.939 --> 00:22:21.220
 about a

00:22:21.220 --> 00:22:21.639
 passport.

00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:21.800
 passport.

00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:23.380
 It was a

00:22:23.380 --> 00:22:24.020
 valid passport

00:22:24.020 --> 00:22:24.340
 but the

00:22:24.340 --> 00:22:24.840
 photo didn't

00:22:24.840 --> 00:22:26.160
 quite fit so

00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:26.600
 they send it

00:22:26.600 --> 00:22:27.020
 off to the

00:22:27.020 --> 00:22:27.660
 lab and

00:22:27.660 --> 00:22:28.600
 they find out

00:22:28.600 --> 00:22:29.120
 that somebody

00:22:29.120 --> 00:22:29.759
 has put their

00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:30.660
 own photo on

00:22:30.660 --> 00:22:31.400
 someone else's

00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:32.700
 passport and

00:22:32.700 --> 00:22:33.040
 that is

00:22:33.040 --> 00:22:33.740
 fraud.

00:22:36.540 --> 00:22:37.180
 There's a

00:22:37.180 --> 00:22:37.920
 sense in

00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:38.580
 which that is

00:22:38.580 --> 00:22:39.480
 the message of

00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:40.140
 the cross.

00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:41.380
 That is what

00:22:41.380 --> 00:22:42.100
 Jesus has done

00:22:42.100 --> 00:22:42.640
 but it's not

00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:43.460
 fraud for him

00:22:43.460 --> 00:22:44.080
 to do that.

00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:46.500
 Jesus has

00:22:46.500 --> 00:22:48.079
 substituted his

00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:50.099
 identity for

00:22:50.099 --> 00:22:51.240
 ours so that

00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:52.000
 you and I

00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:52.639
 can get into

00:22:52.639 --> 00:22:53.039
 the kingdom.

00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:54.779
 It's not

00:22:54.779 --> 00:22:55.359
 fraud, it's

00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:56.139
 perfectly valid

00:22:56.139 --> 00:22:57.000
 because Jesus

00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:57.899
 is what you

00:22:57.899 --> 00:22:59.019
 and I are

00:22:59.019 --> 00:22:59.639
 supposed to

00:22:59.639 --> 00:23:00.000
 be.

00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:01.220
 He is the

00:23:01.220 --> 00:23:01.879
 image of the

00:23:01.879 --> 00:23:02.879
 invisible God.

00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:03.759
 He is the one

00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:04.419
 you were meant

00:23:04.419 --> 00:23:05.279
 to be like

00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:06.819
 but you haven't

00:23:06.819 --> 00:23:07.259
 been that

00:23:07.259 --> 00:23:07.579
 person.

00:23:07.579 --> 00:23:11.779
 He came

00:23:11.779 --> 00:23:12.279
 and lived the

00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:12.819
 life that you

00:23:12.819 --> 00:23:13.119
 should have

00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:13.559
 lived but

00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:13.939
 you've not

00:23:13.939 --> 00:23:14.439
 lived it.

00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:16.639
 And he died

00:23:16.639 --> 00:23:17.299
 the death that

00:23:17.299 --> 00:23:18.439
 we deserve so

00:23:18.439 --> 00:23:19.039
 that you don't

00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:19.539
 have to die

00:23:19.539 --> 00:23:20.039
 that way.

00:23:21.579 --> 00:23:22.220
 He has

00:23:22.220 --> 00:23:23.139
 substituted his

00:23:23.139 --> 00:23:24.259
 identity onto

00:23:24.259 --> 00:23:25.579
 our passport so

00:23:25.579 --> 00:23:26.779
 that you can get

00:23:26.779 --> 00:23:27.240
 into the kingdom

00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:27.599
 of heaven.

00:23:29.220 --> 00:23:30.179
 He was made

00:23:30.179 --> 00:23:31.059
 sin for us, he

00:23:31.059 --> 00:23:31.839
 who knew no

00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:32.799
 sin so that we

00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:33.399
 might be made

00:23:33.399 --> 00:23:33.980
 the righteousness

00:23:33.980 --> 00:23:34.679
 of God in

00:23:34.679 --> 00:23:34.919
 him.

00:23:36.099 --> 00:23:36.699
 Substitution, it's

00:23:36.699 --> 00:23:37.119
 not difficult,

00:23:37.199 --> 00:23:37.460
 is it?

00:23:38.579 --> 00:23:39.259
 You're playing

00:23:39.259 --> 00:23:41.159
 football and

00:23:41.159 --> 00:23:42.220
 somebody's having

00:23:42.220 --> 00:23:43.299
 a lousy game

00:23:43.299 --> 00:23:45.019
 and so the

00:23:45.019 --> 00:23:45.799
 manager pulls

00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:46.339
 you off and

00:23:46.339 --> 00:23:47.139
 he sends on a

00:23:47.139 --> 00:23:47.579
 substitute.

00:23:50.919 --> 00:23:51.699
 And so that's

00:23:51.699 --> 00:23:52.299
 precisely what I

00:23:52.299 --> 00:23:52.779
 want you to do

00:23:52.779 --> 00:23:53.259
 this morning.

00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:55.939
 If you want to

00:23:55.939 --> 00:23:56.299
 know how to

00:23:56.299 --> 00:23:56.759
 become a

00:23:56.759 --> 00:23:58.059
 Christian, then

00:23:58.059 --> 00:23:58.799
 listen carefully.

00:24:00.220 --> 00:24:01.159
 You are playing

00:24:01.159 --> 00:24:02.159
 a lousy game

00:24:02.159 --> 00:24:04.579
 and you know

00:24:04.579 --> 00:24:05.220
 where your life

00:24:05.220 --> 00:24:06.220
 is going and

00:24:06.220 --> 00:24:06.839
 you know that

00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:07.359
 you need a

00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:07.879
 substitute.

00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:09.539
 And you

00:24:09.539 --> 00:24:10.079
 know that you

00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:10.699
 are bound

00:24:10.699 --> 00:24:11.819
 to lose if

00:24:11.819 --> 00:24:12.559
 you carry on

00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:13.059
 playing in

00:24:13.059 --> 00:24:13.659
 that way.

00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:16.839
 And the

00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:17.359
 Bible tells

00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:17.859
 us that God

00:24:17.859 --> 00:24:18.740
 has provided a

00:24:18.740 --> 00:24:19.679
 substitute for

00:24:19.679 --> 00:24:20.019
 you.

00:24:22.419 --> 00:24:23.199
 A substitute

00:24:23.199 --> 00:24:23.799
 who can come

00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:24.240
 and take your

00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:24.819
 place so that

00:24:24.819 --> 00:24:25.219
 there may be

00:24:25.219 --> 00:24:26.039
 victory instead

00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:26.539
 of pathetic

00:24:26.539 --> 00:24:26.979
 failure.

00:24:27.339 --> 00:24:27.959
 So that you

00:24:27.959 --> 00:24:28.819
 can get up on

00:24:28.819 --> 00:24:29.459
 the podium at

00:24:29.459 --> 00:24:30.199
 the end and

00:24:30.199 --> 00:24:30.519
 get your

00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:30.819
 medal.

00:24:30.939 --> 00:24:31.319
 Not that you

00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:31.919
 deserve it.

00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:33.640
 not that you

00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:34.100
 earned it.

00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:34.600
 You've played a

00:24:34.600 --> 00:24:35.380
 lousy game but

00:24:35.380 --> 00:24:35.980
 he is your

00:24:35.980 --> 00:24:36.380
 substitute.

00:24:38.820 --> 00:24:39.279
 And so will

00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:40.000
 you call on

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:40.560
 that substitute

00:24:40.560 --> 00:24:40.960
 if you've

00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:41.340
 never done

00:24:41.340 --> 00:24:41.900
 that before?

00:24:43.539 --> 00:24:44.380
 To call on

00:24:44.380 --> 00:24:44.820
 the Lord

00:24:44.820 --> 00:24:45.800
 Jesus to be

00:24:45.800 --> 00:24:46.820
 your substitute.

00:24:48.220 --> 00:24:49.000
 To admit

00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:49.820
 your life is

00:24:49.820 --> 00:24:51.860
 going nowhere

00:24:51.860 --> 00:24:52.720
 really in the

00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:53.080
 end.

00:24:54.360 --> 00:24:55.160
 And I need

00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:55.539
 you to come

00:24:55.539 --> 00:24:56.220
 on the field

00:24:56.220 --> 00:24:57.039
 and be my

00:24:57.039 --> 00:24:57.660
 substitute and

00:24:57.660 --> 00:24:58.039
 a standing

00:24:58.039 --> 00:24:58.440
 for me.

00:24:58.440 --> 00:25:01.580
 thirdly the

00:25:01.580 --> 00:25:02.240
 reward of his

00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:02.580
 suffering.

00:25:03.120 --> 00:25:03.700
 Verses 7 to

00:25:03.700 --> 00:25:04.140
 12.

00:25:05.600 --> 00:25:06.140
 What does

00:25:06.140 --> 00:25:06.980
 Jesus get for

00:25:06.980 --> 00:25:07.500
 his pains?

00:25:07.620 --> 00:25:08.039
 What is his

00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:08.779
 reward for his

00:25:08.779 --> 00:25:09.160
 sufferings?

00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:09.519
 Because at

00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:10.059
 first it doesn't

00:25:10.059 --> 00:25:10.580
 look very good.

00:25:10.660 --> 00:25:11.160
 Verse 7.

00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:11.960
 He is deprived

00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:12.720
 of justice.

00:25:12.900 --> 00:25:13.180
 Can you see

00:25:13.180 --> 00:25:13.360
 that?

00:25:15.600 --> 00:25:16.240
 Just again

00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:16.880
 notice the

00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:17.279
 words.

00:25:17.460 --> 00:25:17.720
 He is

00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:18.360
 oppressed,

00:25:18.779 --> 00:25:19.500
 afflicted,

00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:21.660
 led like a

00:25:21.660 --> 00:25:22.400
 lamb to the

00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:22.860
 slaughter.

00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:23.720
 He is deprived

00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:24.220
 of justice.

00:25:25.779 --> 00:25:26.700
 He is deprived

00:25:26.700 --> 00:25:27.660
 of descendants.

00:25:27.660 --> 00:25:28.880
 verse 8.

00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:31.380
 As for his

00:25:31.380 --> 00:25:32.220
 generation who

00:25:32.220 --> 00:25:33.100
 considered that

00:25:33.100 --> 00:25:33.580
 he was cut

00:25:33.580 --> 00:25:34.160
 off from the

00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:34.960
 land of the

00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:35.200
 living.

00:25:35.300 --> 00:25:35.700
 He struck

00:25:35.700 --> 00:25:36.200
 down in the

00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:36.540
 prime of

00:25:36.540 --> 00:25:36.860
 life.

00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:38.720
 He doesn't

00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:39.220
 have a secret

00:25:39.220 --> 00:25:39.860
 life in

00:25:39.860 --> 00:25:40.500
 France like

00:25:40.500 --> 00:25:41.080
 Dan Brown

00:25:41.080 --> 00:25:41.519
 says.

00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:43.100
 He doesn't

00:25:43.100 --> 00:25:43.600
 have descendants.

00:25:43.720 --> 00:25:44.120
 He was a

00:25:44.120 --> 00:25:44.779
 single man.

00:25:44.860 --> 00:25:45.580
 He chose to

00:25:45.580 --> 00:25:46.180
 be a single

00:25:46.180 --> 00:25:46.400
 man.

00:25:46.460 --> 00:25:46.680
 It was a

00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:47.160
 choice that

00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:47.500
 he made.

00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:47.759
 It wasn't

00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:48.220
 easy for

00:25:48.220 --> 00:25:48.400
 him.

00:25:50.560 --> 00:25:51.220
 You were

00:25:51.220 --> 00:25:51.880
 single here

00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:52.400
 this morning.

00:25:52.500 --> 00:25:52.800
 You need to

00:25:52.800 --> 00:25:53.600
 understand that

00:25:53.600 --> 00:25:54.840
 Jesus understands

00:25:54.840 --> 00:25:55.340
 the pressure

00:25:55.340 --> 00:25:55.720
 that you are

00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:56.040
 under.

00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:57.819
 as single

00:25:57.819 --> 00:25:58.079
 people.

00:25:58.220 --> 00:25:59.059
 He chose to

00:25:59.059 --> 00:25:59.659
 be a single

00:25:59.659 --> 00:26:00.200
 person without

00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:00.579
 children.

00:26:01.859 --> 00:26:02.420
 Even though

00:26:02.420 --> 00:26:02.980
 everything in

00:26:02.980 --> 00:26:03.379
 him as a

00:26:03.379 --> 00:26:03.779
 human being

00:26:03.779 --> 00:26:04.059
 would have

00:26:04.059 --> 00:26:04.420
 wanted to

00:26:04.420 --> 00:26:04.619
 have a

00:26:04.619 --> 00:26:04.879
 family.

00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:05.279
 He chose

00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:05.740
 to go that

00:26:05.740 --> 00:26:05.879
 way.

00:26:06.220 --> 00:26:06.779
 He had no

00:26:06.779 --> 00:26:07.059
 children.

00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:07.700
 He had no

00:26:07.700 --> 00:26:08.099
 descendants.

00:26:08.740 --> 00:26:09.240
 He was struck

00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:09.680
 down in the

00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:10.319
 prime of life.

00:26:11.539 --> 00:26:11.839
 He wasn't

00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:12.700
 even buried in the

00:26:12.700 --> 00:26:13.180
 family vault.

00:26:13.299 --> 00:26:14.220
 Look at verse 9.

00:26:15.259 --> 00:26:15.759
 And they made

00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:16.339
 his grave with

00:26:16.339 --> 00:26:17.259
 the wicked and

00:26:17.259 --> 00:26:18.299
 with a rich man

00:26:18.299 --> 00:26:19.000
 in his death.

00:26:19.159 --> 00:26:19.799
 And I used to

00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:21.159
 think that's why

00:26:21.159 --> 00:26:21.779
 it all turns.

00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:22.619
 That's the good

00:26:22.619 --> 00:26:22.839
 part.

00:26:22.879 --> 00:26:23.279
 He gets a

00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:24.000
 comfortable grave

00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:24.599
 to lie in.

00:26:25.940 --> 00:26:26.639
 Things are going

00:26:26.639 --> 00:26:26.920
 better.

00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:27.299
 Joseph

00:26:27.299 --> 00:26:28.099
 Barmothea.

00:26:28.420 --> 00:26:29.519
 He comes up

00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:29.819
 with this

00:26:29.819 --> 00:26:30.279
 tomb and it's

00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:30.759
 wonderful but

00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:31.200
 it's not.

00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:31.759
 Because when you

00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:32.180
 read the book

00:26:32.180 --> 00:26:32.759
 of Isaiah,

00:26:33.180 --> 00:26:33.599
 what do you

00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:34.079
 find out about

00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:34.619
 the rich?

00:26:36.940 --> 00:26:37.599
 You find out

00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:38.019
 that the rich

00:26:38.019 --> 00:26:38.759
 were corrupt.

00:26:38.940 --> 00:26:39.399
 And the point

00:26:39.399 --> 00:26:39.799
 is this.

00:26:40.059 --> 00:26:40.980
 For a Jew,

00:26:41.099 --> 00:26:41.519
 you see,

00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:42.399
 it was so

00:26:42.399 --> 00:26:42.899
 important to

00:26:42.899 --> 00:26:43.579
 be put in a

00:26:43.579 --> 00:26:44.619
 family vault.

00:26:44.879 --> 00:26:45.619
 To be gathered

00:26:45.619 --> 00:26:46.379
 to your own

00:26:46.379 --> 00:26:46.700
 people.

00:26:46.779 --> 00:26:47.119
 Don't you see

00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:47.599
 that all the way

00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:48.079
 through Genesis?

00:26:49.420 --> 00:26:50.019
 But Jesus

00:26:50.019 --> 00:26:50.500
 wasn't even

00:26:50.500 --> 00:26:51.019
 gathered to his

00:26:51.019 --> 00:26:52.079
 family in death.

00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:53.599
 he was strung

00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:54.000
 up like a

00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:54.500
 common criminal.

00:26:55.539 --> 00:26:56.079
 And he was

00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:56.500
 put in a

00:26:56.500 --> 00:26:57.119
 rich man's

00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:57.319
 tomb.

00:26:57.399 --> 00:26:57.699
 It's the

00:26:57.699 --> 00:26:58.119
 ultimate

00:26:58.119 --> 00:26:58.839
 humiliation.

00:27:00.379 --> 00:27:00.939
 For the

00:27:00.939 --> 00:27:01.539
 servant to be

00:27:01.539 --> 00:27:02.099
 buried with

00:27:02.099 --> 00:27:02.419
 the rich,

00:27:02.460 --> 00:27:02.879
 it's like a

00:27:02.879 --> 00:27:03.659
 final insult.

00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:05.879
 God's servant

00:27:05.879 --> 00:27:06.639
 doesn't do

00:27:06.639 --> 00:27:07.259
 what they do.

00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:08.639
 He's not like

00:27:08.639 --> 00:27:09.359
 them, but he

00:27:09.359 --> 00:27:09.879
 gets buried

00:27:09.879 --> 00:27:10.199
 with them.

00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:10.599
 And even

00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:11.199
 after he has

00:27:11.199 --> 00:27:11.839
 died, he's

00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:12.419
 counted amongst

00:27:12.419 --> 00:27:12.779
 the wicked

00:27:12.779 --> 00:27:13.039
 and the

00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:13.359
 corrupt.

00:27:13.919 --> 00:27:14.659
 Crucified between

00:27:14.659 --> 00:27:15.379
 two thieves.

00:27:16.379 --> 00:27:16.879
 Buried with

00:27:16.879 --> 00:27:17.240
 the rich.

00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:17.939
 And if we

00:27:17.939 --> 00:27:18.799
 were to stop

00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:19.119
 there, you

00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:19.779
 get depressed.

00:27:19.879 --> 00:27:20.220
 We'd give

00:27:20.220 --> 00:27:20.480
 up.

00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:22.639
 We would

00:27:22.639 --> 00:27:23.119
 say, wouldn't

00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:23.839
 we, Jesus

00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:24.699
 is a heroic

00:27:24.699 --> 00:27:25.480
 failure.

00:27:26.299 --> 00:27:26.960
 A loser.

00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:29.740
 But the

00:27:29.740 --> 00:27:30.259
 final word

00:27:30.259 --> 00:27:30.720
 belongs to

00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:31.000
 God, and

00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:31.299
 that's why

00:27:31.299 --> 00:27:31.679
 we're here

00:27:31.679 --> 00:27:32.079
 this morning.

00:27:32.139 --> 00:27:32.359
 Look at

00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:32.899
 verse 10.

00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:37.179
 Three little

00:27:37.179 --> 00:27:37.659
 letters.

00:27:38.059 --> 00:27:38.379
 Yet.

00:27:40.439 --> 00:27:40.839
 Yet.

00:27:42.980 --> 00:27:43.619
 Yet it was

00:27:43.619 --> 00:27:44.019
 the will of

00:27:44.019 --> 00:27:44.500
 the Lord to

00:27:44.500 --> 00:27:44.859
 crush it.

00:27:44.859 --> 00:27:59.759
 be

00:27:59.759 --> 00:27:59.759


00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:01.519
 Yet it was

00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:01.839
 the will of

00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:02.240
 the Lord to

00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:02.519
 crush him.

00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:02.740
 He was

00:28:02.740 --> 00:28:03.139
 put into

00:28:03.139 --> 00:28:03.419
 grief.

00:28:03.699 --> 00:28:04.059
 When his

00:28:04.059 --> 00:28:04.579
 soul makes

00:28:04.579 --> 00:28:04.959
 an offering

00:28:04.959 --> 00:28:05.399
 for guilt,

00:28:05.479 --> 00:28:05.819
 he shall

00:28:05.819 --> 00:28:06.359
 see his

00:28:06.359 --> 00:28:06.799
 offspring.

00:28:07.019 --> 00:28:07.219
 He shall

00:28:07.219 --> 00:28:07.740
 prolong his

00:28:07.740 --> 00:28:08.039
 days.

00:28:08.639 --> 00:28:08.899
 The will

00:28:08.899 --> 00:28:09.139
 of the

00:28:09.139 --> 00:28:09.500
 Lord shall

00:28:09.500 --> 00:28:09.959
 prosper in

00:28:09.959 --> 00:28:10.319
 his hand.

00:28:10.439 --> 00:28:10.679
 Out of

00:28:10.679 --> 00:28:11.139
 the anguish

00:28:11.139 --> 00:28:11.399
 of his

00:28:11.399 --> 00:28:11.819
 soul, he

00:28:11.819 --> 00:28:12.179
 shall see

00:28:12.179 --> 00:28:12.419
 and be

00:28:12.419 --> 00:28:12.899
 satisfied.

00:28:12.900 --> 00:28:16.400
 By his knowledge shall the righteous one

00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:18.660
 My servant make many to be accounted righteous

00:28:18.660 --> 00:28:20.340
 And he will bear their iniquities

00:28:20.340 --> 00:28:26.720
 Belsa Mandela spent 27 years in prison

00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:33.759
 Suffering locked away by a racist regime

00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:36.660
 Do you remember when he was released from prison?

00:28:36.800 --> 00:28:37.960
 It was an amazing thing wasn't it?

00:28:38.580 --> 00:28:40.040
 He was released from prison

00:28:40.040 --> 00:28:42.240
 Walking out of Robben Highland

00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:46.400
 And then within a matter of months it seemed

00:28:46.400 --> 00:28:48.240
 He was the president of South Africa

00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:51.599
 He went from being powerless

00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:55.420
 And dishonoured and disgraced and defeated

00:28:55.420 --> 00:28:58.599
 And he went from rock bottom to scale the heights

00:28:58.599 --> 00:29:01.740
 And became a world statesman

00:29:01.740 --> 00:29:06.400
 That's what Jesus has done in a more profound way

00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:08.079
 And far reaching way than Mandela

00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:09.180
 He hit rock bottom

00:29:09.180 --> 00:29:10.819
 He was despised and rejected

00:29:10.819 --> 00:29:13.619
 Scorned and mocked and beaten and killed

00:29:13.619 --> 00:29:16.519
 And yet now he is risen and ascended

00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:18.460
 And exalted at God's right hand

00:29:18.460 --> 00:29:19.399
 And look at verse 10

00:29:19.399 --> 00:29:21.939
 The will of the Lord will prosper in his hand

00:29:21.939 --> 00:29:22.879
 That is today

00:29:22.879 --> 00:29:28.039
 That's 2000 years after the crucifixion

00:29:28.039 --> 00:29:31.099
 The will of the Lord will prosper in his hand

00:29:31.099 --> 00:29:32.279
 That's what he's doing this morning

00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:34.299
 He is sitting at God's right hand

00:29:34.299 --> 00:29:36.059
 And his will is prospering

00:29:36.059 --> 00:29:39.899
 53,000 people will become Christians today

00:29:39.899 --> 00:29:40.839
 Somewhere in the world

00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:45.659
 Only 3,000 people became Christians on the day of Pentecost

00:29:45.660 --> 00:29:48.820
 We don't see that do we

00:29:48.820 --> 00:29:50.180
 We don't see very much of that

00:29:50.180 --> 00:29:52.200
 But we need to pray that that will change

00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:54.700
 But the will of the Lord is prospering in his hands

00:29:54.700 --> 00:29:55.980
 What is the will of the Lord?

00:29:56.040 --> 00:29:57.340
 It's to sprinkle many nations

00:29:57.340 --> 00:30:00.779
 The word many

00:30:00.779 --> 00:30:02.660
 It crops up again and again

00:30:02.660 --> 00:30:04.360
 In verse 11 and 12

00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:10.240
 He will make many to be accounted righteous

00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:14.259
 He will justify many

00:30:14.259 --> 00:30:16.179
 Verse 12

00:30:16.179 --> 00:30:18.299
 He bore the sin of many

00:30:18.299 --> 00:30:20.079
 What is his reward?

00:30:20.399 --> 00:30:22.299
 He was a childless man

00:30:22.299 --> 00:30:24.979
 Cut off in the prime of his life

00:30:24.979 --> 00:30:25.899
 What is his reward?

00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:27.719
 It's more people than you can number

00:30:27.719 --> 00:30:31.279
 Many people, many nations

00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:32.419
 He doesn't have a family

00:30:32.420 --> 00:30:36.259
 He dies childless

00:30:36.259 --> 00:30:38.759
 And yet his descendants

00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:40.420
 Just as God promised Abraham

00:30:40.420 --> 00:30:42.680
 Are more than sand on the seashore

00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:46.340
 And as he looks at his church today

00:30:46.340 --> 00:30:47.340
 He loves it

00:30:47.340 --> 00:30:52.180
 And he delights

00:30:52.180 --> 00:30:56.960
 Behold I and the children you have given me

00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:59.519
 And as he looks at you and I

00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:01.779
 And this vast family around the world

00:31:01.779 --> 00:31:03.559
 This vast growing family

00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:04.420
 The church

00:31:04.420 --> 00:31:08.000
 And as the gospel is preached throughout the world

00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:10.579
 His heart is filled with delight and love

00:31:10.579 --> 00:31:15.839
 Because Jesus died for our sins and rose again

00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:20.019
 And he's up there with the great ones

00:31:20.019 --> 00:31:23.119
 Who says that?

00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:27.579
 They're probably not your friend at work

00:31:27.579 --> 00:31:29.299
 They ask you what you're doing

00:31:29.299 --> 00:31:30.139
 You said you went to church

00:31:30.139 --> 00:31:30.879
 And they look at you

00:31:30.879 --> 00:31:31.859
 And you've got three hands

00:31:31.859 --> 00:31:33.539
 He's a footnote to history

00:31:33.539 --> 00:31:33.959
 Isn't he?

00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:34.839
 According to our world

00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:35.659
 They don't rate him

00:31:35.659 --> 00:31:36.899
 But God does

00:31:36.899 --> 00:31:39.219
 And his resurrection

00:31:39.219 --> 00:31:40.579
 Is his vindication

00:31:40.579 --> 00:31:43.199
 Do you remember at the day of Pentecost?

00:31:43.279 --> 00:31:44.619
 Peter said this man that you took

00:31:44.619 --> 00:31:45.459
 And you slew

00:31:45.459 --> 00:31:46.399
 And you crucified him

00:31:46.399 --> 00:31:47.259
 That was your verdict

00:31:47.259 --> 00:31:49.719
 You throw him on the slag heap of history

00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:52.339
 You thought you got rid of him

00:31:52.339 --> 00:31:55.640
 But God has raised him from the dead

00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:56.779
 And made him Lord

00:31:56.779 --> 00:31:59.460
 And so today

00:31:59.460 --> 00:32:00.500
 You have to think again

00:32:00.500 --> 00:32:00.980
 Don't you?

00:32:04.500 --> 00:32:05.700
 God's verdict

00:32:05.700 --> 00:32:06.940
 On the crucified

00:32:06.940 --> 00:32:08.360
 Suffering servant

00:32:08.360 --> 00:32:11.960
 Well he raised him from the dead

00:32:11.960 --> 00:32:15.180
 And he served notice

00:32:15.180 --> 00:32:16.700
 On the entire human race

00:32:16.700 --> 00:32:18.920
 Of the final verdict

00:32:18.920 --> 00:32:20.340
 That on that last day

00:32:20.340 --> 00:32:21.700
 Every knee will bow to him

00:32:21.700 --> 00:32:23.059
 And every tongue will confess

00:32:23.059 --> 00:32:24.440
 That Jesus Christ is Lord

00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:27.000
 So this is the one

00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:28.720
 Who was deeply humiliated

00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:31.019
 But is now highly exalted

00:32:31.019 --> 00:32:33.360
 And to this day

00:32:33.360 --> 00:32:34.019
 Verse 12

00:32:34.019 --> 00:32:35.200
 He is dividing him

00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:36.640
 A portion with the many

00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:38.640
 And he's seeing

00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:41.319
 Of the travail of his soul

00:32:41.319 --> 00:32:43.379
 And he is satisfied

00:32:43.379 --> 00:32:48.359
 There is forgiveness of sins

00:32:48.359 --> 00:32:51.279
 For what you have done

00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:55.099
 There is forgiveness of sins

00:32:55.099 --> 00:32:57.439
 For your guilty conscience

00:32:57.439 --> 00:33:00.700
 There is forgiveness of sins

00:33:00.700 --> 00:33:02.639
 For the skeletons in your cupboard

00:33:02.639 --> 00:33:07.539
 From the most powerful man in the universe

00:33:07.539 --> 00:33:10.500
 Who purchased it

00:33:10.500 --> 00:33:11.899
 At such cost for himself

00:33:11.899 --> 00:33:14.259
 And there is forgiveness

00:33:14.259 --> 00:33:17.420
 A presidential pardon

00:33:17.420 --> 00:33:18.420
 Not for turkeys

00:33:18.420 --> 00:33:21.359
 But for you and I sinners

00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:23.519
 Won't you take it?

00:33:26.180 --> 00:33:26.819
 Let's sing

00:33:26.819 --> 00:33:27.259
 Let's sing

00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259


00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.259
