WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.900
 great so we're in philippians chapter 2 and verses 1 to 11 let me pray and then i will

00:00:09.900 --> 00:00:18.080
 read the passage for us let me pray uh loving father we want to just ask now for your um

00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:23.379
 particular help as we look at this section of your words and lord we want to ask that you might give

00:00:23.379 --> 00:00:28.719
 us the concentration that we need we want to pray that we might uh not just learn stuff with our

00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:34.640
 minds but that we might be moved in our hearts to love and trust you say lord we pray that you might

00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:43.039
 impress upon us the great humility of the lord jesus that we might bow the knee to him and give

00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:54.219
 him all the glory in jesus name amen okay so i'm in philippians chapter 2 i'm going to read to you

00:00:54.219 --> 00:01:00.420
 verses 1 to 11 and then we're going to think about it together it's on page 1179 but most of you like

00:01:00.420 --> 00:01:08.780
 you're there already anyway philippians chapter 2 therefore if you have any encouragement from being

00:01:08.780 --> 00:01:19.019
 united with christ if any comfort from his love if any common sharing in the spirit if any tenderness

00:01:19.019 --> 00:01:29.179
 and compassion then make my joy complete by being like-minded having the same love being one in

00:01:29.179 --> 00:01:39.500
 spirit and of one mind do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit rather in humility value others

00:01:39.500 --> 00:01:46.859
 above yourselves not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others

00:01:46.859 --> 00:01:55.760
 in your relationships with one another have the same mindset as christ jesus who being in very nature

00:01:55.760 --> 00:02:03.799
 god did not consider equality with god something to be used to his own advantage rather he made himself

00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:12.340
 nothing by taking the very nature of a servant being made in human likeness and being found in appearance

00:02:12.340 --> 00:02:22.300
 as a man he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death even death on a cross therefore god exalted him

00:02:22.300 --> 00:02:29.680
 to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name that at the name of jesus every knee

00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:37.439
 should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth and every tongue acknowledge that jesus christ is lord

00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:45.560
 to the glory of god the father now i think those verses are probably so familiar and so brilliant

00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:50.219
 that really i feel like i should perhaps just read them through a few times and then sit down and shut up

00:02:50.219 --> 00:02:59.400
 if you are in any way minded to commit verses of the bible to memory you could do a lot worse than memorizing

00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:05.700
 these verses especially verses 6 to 11 as a really central and important part of the new testament theology

00:03:05.700 --> 00:03:10.920
 of who jesus is anyway but i'm not going to just read them and sit down and shut up i have got some more

00:03:10.920 --> 00:03:15.060
 things to say as we try and have a look through and see what the lord is saying to us tonight

00:03:15.060 --> 00:03:21.420
 but to try and keep your interest on a sunday evening i am going to point out three surprises

00:03:21.419 --> 00:03:31.239
 in the verses three surprises the first one is this depending on exactly how you read it i think

00:03:31.239 --> 00:03:37.199
 there is only one instruction here so you have the passage printed out in the front of your handout i

00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:44.259
 would like you to circle the instruction what is the instruction in these verses have a think about

00:03:44.259 --> 00:03:47.359
 that maybe on your own you can cheat and talk to the person next to you if you'd like to

00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:58.380
 and circle what is the imperative or the instruction that do this in these verses there is one possibly

00:03:58.380 --> 00:04:06.700
 two depending on how you break it down or which exact greek text you choose to use

00:04:06.699 --> 00:04:19.060
 letters

00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:27.319
 yes

00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:28.259
 you

00:04:28.259 --> 00:04:30.259
 you

00:04:30.259 --> 00:04:32.259
 you

00:04:32.259 --> 00:04:48.699
 This is like exam conditions.

00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:49.639
 I'm liking this.

00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:53.899
 I think I might pace up and down just to make you feel all nervous.

00:05:02.259 --> 00:05:15.579
 So, yes.

00:05:32.259 --> 00:05:39.259
 I think it's my dream of a sort of teaching.

00:05:39.259 --> 00:05:41.259
 Even if you want to.

00:05:41.259 --> 00:05:43.259
 But that's my assumption.

00:05:43.259 --> 00:05:45.259
 There's more than that.

00:05:45.259 --> 00:05:47.259
 Oh.

00:05:47.259 --> 00:05:49.259
 It's pretty English.

00:05:49.259 --> 00:05:52.259
 I'm trying to understand.

00:05:52.259 --> 00:05:54.259
 I guess it's not.

00:05:54.259 --> 00:05:57.259
 I guess it's not.

00:05:57.259 --> 00:06:02.259
 Okay.

00:06:02.259 --> 00:06:11.259
 Now, it is possible that one of the imperatives is in verse five.

00:06:11.259 --> 00:06:16.259
 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.

00:06:16.259 --> 00:06:18.259
 We're going to deal with that in a moment.

00:06:18.259 --> 00:06:21.259
 But there is one more in verses one to four.

00:06:21.259 --> 00:06:22.259
 One imperative.

00:06:22.259 --> 00:06:24.259
 What is the imperative?

00:06:24.259 --> 00:06:29.259
 The instruction in verses one to four.

00:06:29.259 --> 00:06:31.259
 It's only one.

00:06:31.259 --> 00:06:35.259
 Yes.

00:06:35.259 --> 00:06:41.259
 Make my joy complete.

00:06:41.259 --> 00:06:42.259
 That's the imperative.

00:06:42.259 --> 00:06:43.259
 That's the instruction.

00:06:43.259 --> 00:06:45.259
 That's the request.

00:06:45.259 --> 00:06:47.259
 I think it's surprising that, right?

00:06:47.259 --> 00:06:49.259
 But this is Paul's emphasis.

00:06:49.259 --> 00:06:56.259
 Everything else around it essentially is a description of the actions that that would require.

00:06:56.259 --> 00:07:02.259
 So things required to make Paul's joy complete, which is the instruction.

00:07:02.259 --> 00:07:05.259
 And it's arranged in fours.

00:07:05.259 --> 00:07:06.259
 Okay.

00:07:06.259 --> 00:07:09.259
 There are groups of four around that imperative.

00:07:09.259 --> 00:07:12.259
 So he starts, doesn't he?

00:07:12.259 --> 00:07:13.259
 If you have any.

00:07:13.259 --> 00:07:16.259
 And he starts with encouragement from being united with Christ.

00:07:16.259 --> 00:07:17.259
 That's the first one.

00:07:17.259 --> 00:07:18.259
 If any.

00:07:18.259 --> 00:07:19.259
 Second one.

00:07:19.259 --> 00:07:20.259
 Comfort from his love.

00:07:20.259 --> 00:07:21.259
 If any.

00:07:21.259 --> 00:07:22.259
 Third one.

00:07:22.259 --> 00:07:24.259
 Common sharing in the spirit.

00:07:24.259 --> 00:07:25.259
 Fourth one.

00:07:25.259 --> 00:07:26.259
 If any.

00:07:26.259 --> 00:07:27.259
 Tenderness and compassion.

00:07:27.259 --> 00:07:31.259
 And of course, the answer to all of those is, yeah, of course I have that.

00:07:31.259 --> 00:07:34.259
 Of course, I have encouragement from being united with Christ.

00:07:34.259 --> 00:07:38.259
 That there is great encouragement in being united with Christ.

00:07:38.259 --> 00:07:40.259
 If I have any comfort from his love.

00:07:40.259 --> 00:07:41.259
 If I have any comfort from his love.

00:07:41.259 --> 00:07:44.259
 Of course, the love of Christ is of great comfort to me.

00:07:44.259 --> 00:07:47.259
 I am hugely comforted by the love of Christ.

00:07:47.259 --> 00:07:51.259
 If we share in the common spirit.

00:07:51.259 --> 00:07:53.259
 Common sharing in the spirit.

00:07:53.259 --> 00:07:54.259
 Of course.

00:07:54.259 --> 00:07:58.259
 Because believers are recipients of the Holy Spirit.

00:07:58.259 --> 00:07:59.259
 If any.

00:07:59.259 --> 00:08:00.259
 Tenderness and compassion.

00:08:00.259 --> 00:08:03.259
 Of course, we are tender and compassionate towards one another.

00:08:03.259 --> 00:08:06.259
 If that's the case, well then, make my joy complete.

00:08:06.259 --> 00:08:10.259
 And afterwards, the descriptions of what filling that command looks like.

00:08:10.259 --> 00:08:11.259
 So continue.

00:08:11.259 --> 00:08:12.259
 By.

00:08:12.259 --> 00:08:13.259
 So how do I make the joy complete?

00:08:13.259 --> 00:08:14.259
 Well, by being like-minded.

00:08:14.259 --> 00:08:15.259
 Number one.

00:08:15.259 --> 00:08:16.259
 Number two.

00:08:16.259 --> 00:08:18.259
 By having the same love.

00:08:18.259 --> 00:08:19.259
 Number three.

00:08:19.259 --> 00:08:21.259
 By being one in spirit.

00:08:21.259 --> 00:08:25.259
 And fourthly, by being of one mind.

00:08:25.259 --> 00:08:26.259
 Okay.

00:08:26.259 --> 00:08:27.259
 So there's four more.

00:08:27.259 --> 00:08:28.259
 Four at the beginning.

00:08:28.259 --> 00:08:29.259
 Then the instruction.

00:08:29.259 --> 00:08:30.259
 Four at the end.

00:08:30.259 --> 00:08:33.259
 And then, four more descriptions of that.

00:08:33.259 --> 00:08:35.259
 With the sort of negative connotations included.

00:08:35.259 --> 00:08:37.259
 Nothing out of selfish ambition.

00:08:37.259 --> 00:08:39.259
 Nothing out of vain conceit.

00:08:39.259 --> 00:08:41.259
 In humility, valuing others above yourself.

00:08:41.259 --> 00:08:44.259
 Not looking to your own interest, but to the interest of others.

00:08:44.259 --> 00:08:45.259
 Four more there.

00:08:45.259 --> 00:08:49.259
 So here's the instruction from Paul.

00:08:49.259 --> 00:08:52.259
 Essentially, and I don't want to oversimplify it.

00:08:52.259 --> 00:08:55.259
 But it is essentially, make me happy.

00:08:55.259 --> 00:08:58.259
 Or make me full of joy.

00:08:58.259 --> 00:09:04.259
 By enjoying and building Christian community.

00:09:04.259 --> 00:09:06.259
 That's what he's saying.

00:09:06.259 --> 00:09:08.259
 There's, I suppose, more to it than that.

00:09:08.259 --> 00:09:10.259
 But that's the distilled essence of it.

00:09:10.259 --> 00:09:14.259
 Paul literally wants to be filled up with joy.

00:09:14.259 --> 00:09:18.259
 Full to the measure of joy.

00:09:18.259 --> 00:09:20.259
 By seeing the Philippians pulling together.

00:09:20.259 --> 00:09:24.259
 In a way that reflects the gospel that's at work in them.

00:09:24.259 --> 00:09:26.259
 Now I think, I think when you get that.

00:09:26.259 --> 00:09:28.259
 That's a massive surprise.

00:09:28.259 --> 00:09:32.259
 Why is Paul so obsessed with his own joy.

00:09:32.259 --> 00:09:36.259
 That he makes this the central instruction of verses one to four.

00:09:36.259 --> 00:09:38.259
 Turn to the person next to you.

00:09:38.259 --> 00:09:42.259
 Why is it that Paul is so obsessed with his own joy.

00:09:42.259 --> 00:09:45.259
 That he makes that the central instruction in these verses.

00:09:45.259 --> 00:09:47.259
 Have a think.

00:09:47.259 --> 00:09:49.259
 With the person next to you if you want to.

00:09:49.259 --> 00:09:51.259
 And then I'm going to ask you to answer.

00:09:51.259 --> 00:09:53.259
 And then I'm going to ask you to answer.

00:09:53.259 --> 00:09:55.259
 And then I'm going to ask you to answer.

00:09:55.259 --> 00:10:01.259
 You okay.

00:10:01.259 --> 00:10:05.259
 To, can I say.

00:10:05.259 --> 00:10:07.259
 I'd like the.

00:10:07.259 --> 00:10:09.259
 You better.

00:10:09.259 --> 00:10:39.240
 Thank you.

00:10:39.259 --> 00:11:09.240
 Thank you.

00:11:09.259 --> 00:11:10.259
 Thank you.

00:11:10.259 --> 00:11:16.960
 Or make the Lord's joy complete, if you can do such a thing, because the Lord is as joyful as it's possible to be joyful.

00:11:17.100 --> 00:11:18.299
 Why his joy?

00:11:20.620 --> 00:11:21.700
 Any suggestions?

00:11:21.700 --> 00:11:29.780
 what have you been talking about

00:11:29.780 --> 00:11:37.980
 Nick what did you think

00:11:37.980 --> 00:11:41.440
 we were just saying that Paul's joy

00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:42.840
 is in

00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:46.740
 Christ has given him a mission

00:11:46.740 --> 00:11:48.620
 Christ has sent him out

00:11:48.620 --> 00:11:51.259
 and he's absolutely Gentile

00:11:51.259 --> 00:11:54.159
 he's out to let people know

00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:55.960
 about Christ

00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:58.919
 and for everyone that turns to Christ

00:11:58.919 --> 00:11:59.679
 it's like

00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:03.240
 it's a wonderful thing

00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:05.779
 and he's sharing God's joy

00:12:05.779 --> 00:12:07.759
 so people like

00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:10.279
 Paul's joy is God's joy

00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:12.819
 people get saved and grown

00:12:12.819 --> 00:12:14.620
 it's kind of the same

00:12:14.620 --> 00:12:16.639
 yeah so Paul has joy in them

00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.419
 growing in the faith just in the same way

00:12:18.419 --> 00:12:21.279
 as that is joyful for the Lord

00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.259
 to see the outworking of the work of Christ on the cross

00:12:24.259 --> 00:12:24.759
 yes

00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.679
 there is a particular sense though

00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:28.899
 in which I think he seems to be suggesting

00:12:28.899 --> 00:12:31.740
 that the sort of

00:12:31.740 --> 00:12:35.319
 the underlying little niggles in Philippi

00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:37.280
 Philippi like Iodia and Syntyche

00:12:37.280 --> 00:12:39.260
 sort of not getting on with each other

00:12:39.260 --> 00:12:41.879
 or this selfish ambition of the preachers

00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:43.720
 in verse 15 of chapter 1

00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:45.260
 is in some sense

00:12:45.260 --> 00:12:48.960
 making Paul's joy incomplete

00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:50.680
 now I think the answer

00:12:50.680 --> 00:12:53.440
 probably the most helpful way to look

00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:55.420
 come at the answer is in chapter 4 verse 1

00:12:55.420 --> 00:12:57.800
 where he mentions joy there

00:12:57.800 --> 00:12:58.820
 so chapter 4 verse 1

00:12:58.820 --> 00:13:00.200
 just turn over the page to it

00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:01.600
 he says this

00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:03.680
 that there is a link between

00:13:03.680 --> 00:13:06.440
 their godliness and Paul's joy

00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:07.980
 because he says chapter 4 verse 1

00:13:07.980 --> 00:13:09.820
 therefore my brothers and sisters

00:13:09.820 --> 00:13:13.020
 you whom I love and long for

00:13:13.020 --> 00:13:16.500
 my joy and my crown

00:13:16.500 --> 00:13:19.300
 stand firm in the Lord in this way

00:13:19.300 --> 00:13:20.640
 dear friends

00:13:20.640 --> 00:13:22.379
 it seems doesn't it

00:13:22.379 --> 00:13:23.960
 in chapter 4 verse 1

00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:26.280
 that the perseverance of the Philippians

00:13:26.280 --> 00:13:27.940
 is somehow connected

00:13:27.940 --> 00:13:29.800
 to the crown

00:13:29.800 --> 00:13:31.120
 and reward

00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.280
 that Paul is looking forward to

00:13:33.280 --> 00:13:34.320
 on the day of Christ

00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:36.140
 Paul is anticipating

00:13:36.140 --> 00:13:37.900
 that on the day of Christ Jesus

00:13:37.900 --> 00:13:40.020
 his joy on that day

00:13:40.020 --> 00:13:41.960
 is not just in one sense

00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:43.060
 a joy in the Lord

00:13:43.060 --> 00:13:43.780
 although it will be

00:13:43.780 --> 00:13:45.860
 but it's a joy that comes from

00:13:45.860 --> 00:13:48.440
 seeing others there on that day

00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:50.400
 whom he had a part

00:13:50.400 --> 00:13:52.300
 in ministering to

00:13:52.300 --> 00:13:54.260
 they are his crown

00:13:54.260 --> 00:13:55.180
 and his joy

00:13:55.180 --> 00:13:56.440
 look at what the gospel did

00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:57.360
 in their lives

00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:58.680
 and I got to be part

00:13:58.680 --> 00:13:59.860
 of sharing it with them

00:13:59.860 --> 00:14:02.200
 now if that's right

00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:03.759
 then the instruction

00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:05.800
 in chapter 2 verse 2

00:14:05.800 --> 00:14:07.779
 becomes something like

00:14:07.779 --> 00:14:09.100
 make my joy complete

00:14:09.100 --> 00:14:10.659
 is something like

00:14:10.659 --> 00:14:12.899
 live in the light of Christ's return

00:14:12.899 --> 00:14:13.419
 isn't it

00:14:13.419 --> 00:14:16.759
 my joy is linked

00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:17.960
 to your perseverance

00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:19.580
 I get joy

00:14:19.580 --> 00:14:20.700
 from seeing you

00:14:20.700 --> 00:14:21.500
 persevering

00:14:21.500 --> 00:14:23.580
 in the Christian faith

00:14:23.580 --> 00:14:24.320
 until the return

00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:25.000
 of the Lord Jesus

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:25.659
 so it is

00:14:25.659 --> 00:14:27.179
 look forward to

00:14:27.179 --> 00:14:28.220
 and long for

00:14:28.220 --> 00:14:29.159
 that day

00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:31.000
 remember that Christ

00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:31.940
 is coming again

00:14:31.940 --> 00:14:32.840
 and all this petty

00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:33.399
 squabbling

00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:34.539
 and all this selfish ambition

00:14:34.539 --> 00:14:36.659
 is a total waste of time

00:14:36.659 --> 00:14:38.659
 remember where my joy

00:14:38.659 --> 00:14:39.399
 is Philippians

00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:40.539
 don't go robbing me

00:14:40.539 --> 00:14:41.700
 of joy on that day

00:14:41.700 --> 00:14:42.799
 by your petty arguments

00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:43.860
 on this day

00:14:43.860 --> 00:14:45.299
 live for the return

00:14:45.299 --> 00:14:45.820
 of the Lord

00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:47.559
 by living out the unity

00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:48.139
 you've been given

00:14:48.139 --> 00:14:49.159
 in Jesus Christ

00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:50.580
 letting that flow

00:14:50.580 --> 00:14:51.500
 into love

00:14:51.500 --> 00:14:53.299
 and one spiritedness

00:14:53.299 --> 00:14:54.299
 one mindedness

00:14:54.299 --> 00:14:54.980
 as you look out

00:14:54.980 --> 00:14:55.879
 to the interests of others

00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:56.980
 counting others

00:14:56.980 --> 00:14:57.740
 above yourself

00:14:57.740 --> 00:14:59.440
 I don't know whether

00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:00.320
 I've used this before

00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:02.379
 but Rico Tice

00:15:02.379 --> 00:15:02.960
 who wrote

00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:04.139
 the Christianity Explored course

00:15:04.139 --> 00:15:04.799
 has an illustration

00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:06.440
 about living in London

00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:07.559
 but having a flat in

00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:07.940
 wait

00:15:07.940 --> 00:15:09.639
 living in Paris

00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:11.179
 but having a home in London

00:15:11.179 --> 00:15:12.580
 have you heard this story before

00:15:12.580 --> 00:15:13.980
 have I told you this before

00:15:13.980 --> 00:15:15.059
 no

00:15:15.059 --> 00:15:16.460
 okay well let me use it again

00:15:16.460 --> 00:15:17.779
 because it's quite helpful here

00:15:17.779 --> 00:15:19.879
 Rico Tice says this

00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:21.019
 he says imagine that your home

00:15:21.019 --> 00:15:21.580
 is in London

00:15:21.580 --> 00:15:23.799
 but you are sent with work

00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:24.519
 to Paris

00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:26.159
 and in Paris

00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:27.519
 you get given an apartment

00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:28.980
 that you are allowed to live in

00:15:28.980 --> 00:15:31.120
 for your time in Paris

00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.639
 but home is still back in London

00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:34.159
 okay

00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:36.279
 and you are paid a salary

00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:37.379
 in Paris

00:15:37.379 --> 00:15:39.320
 and you're allowed to spend that salary

00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:41.100
 in whatever way you choose to

00:15:41.100 --> 00:15:42.360
 you know you're supposed to provide

00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:43.480
 for your needs from that

00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:45.279
 but there is one rule

00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:47.480
 anything that you buy

00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:48.940
 for your apartment in Paris

00:15:48.940 --> 00:15:50.260
 you cannot take

00:15:50.260 --> 00:15:51.360
 from Paris

00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:52.680
 it has to remain there

00:15:52.680 --> 00:15:54.960
 but it is possible for you

00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:56.060
 to wire money

00:15:56.060 --> 00:15:57.740
 forward to London

00:15:57.740 --> 00:15:59.460
 so that you can have it there

00:15:59.460 --> 00:16:00.780
 when you finally arrive

00:16:00.780 --> 00:16:01.820
 back home in London

00:16:01.820 --> 00:16:03.200
 and you can enjoy it there

00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:05.560
 and Rico's question to you then is

00:16:05.560 --> 00:16:05.960
 okay

00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:06.780
 if that's

00:16:06.780 --> 00:16:07.820
 if that's the scenario

00:16:07.820 --> 00:16:08.780
 that you're working in

00:16:08.780 --> 00:16:10.420
 what do you do with your money

00:16:10.420 --> 00:16:11.900
 what does your apartment

00:16:11.900 --> 00:16:13.320
 look like in Paris

00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:14.900
 do you fill it

00:16:14.900 --> 00:16:15.460
 full

00:16:15.460 --> 00:16:17.060
 right to the brim

00:16:17.059 --> 00:16:18.259
 with all sorts of different

00:16:18.259 --> 00:16:19.239
 trinkets and furnitures

00:16:19.239 --> 00:16:20.699
 well no of course you don't do you

00:16:20.699 --> 00:16:22.359
 what you do is you live as simply

00:16:22.359 --> 00:16:23.299
 as you possibly can

00:16:23.299 --> 00:16:25.099
 in order to send as much money

00:16:25.099 --> 00:16:26.239
 forward as you can

00:16:26.239 --> 00:16:27.619
 so that you can enjoy it

00:16:27.619 --> 00:16:28.759
 when you arrive home

00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:29.399
 in London

00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:30.959
 and he says in one sense

00:16:30.959 --> 00:16:31.679
 that's

00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:33.419
 that's kind of Christian living

00:16:33.419 --> 00:16:35.039
 we are living here

00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:35.879
 temporarily

00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:37.699
 but it is possible

00:16:37.699 --> 00:16:38.239
 says Paul

00:16:38.239 --> 00:16:38.479
 and

00:16:38.479 --> 00:16:39.359
 it's not

00:16:39.359 --> 00:16:40.879
 treasure here

00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:41.199
 is it

00:16:41.199 --> 00:16:42.379
 it's joy here

00:16:42.379 --> 00:16:43.179
 it is possible

00:16:43.179 --> 00:16:43.679
 if you like

00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:44.279
 for us to

00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:46.200
 wire joy forwards

00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:48.059
 for that day

00:16:48.059 --> 00:16:49.720
 by Christian perseverance

00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:51.019
 on this day

00:16:51.019 --> 00:16:52.679
 so why would you

00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:54.299
 indulge so much

00:16:54.299 --> 00:16:55.679
 in trying to be right

00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:57.259
 now in an argument

00:16:57.259 --> 00:16:57.919
 or a discussion

00:16:57.919 --> 00:16:59.100
 and that sort of thing

00:16:59.100 --> 00:16:59.600
 with one another

00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:00.840
 squabbling with one another

00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:01.600
 in Philippians

00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:03.439
 when that robs you

00:17:03.439 --> 00:17:05.420
 of sending joy forwards

00:17:05.420 --> 00:17:06.599
 for the day of the Lord Jesus

00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:08.240
 that's I think

00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:09.279
 Paul's assumption here

00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:10.759
 that it is

00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:12.240
 this sense of living

00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:13.319
 in the light

00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:14.819
 of Christ's return

00:17:14.819 --> 00:17:16.639
 the future joy

00:17:16.639 --> 00:17:17.700
 that means

00:17:17.700 --> 00:17:18.819
 that present squabbles

00:17:18.819 --> 00:17:19.940
 are not really worth having

00:17:19.940 --> 00:17:20.680
 and you can kind of see

00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:21.259
 how that works

00:17:21.259 --> 00:17:21.660
 can't you

00:17:21.660 --> 00:17:23.420
 yeah

00:17:23.420 --> 00:17:25.079
 I remember

00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:25.960
 maybe this is too much

00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:26.339
 for admission

00:17:26.339 --> 00:17:27.639
 but I'll go for it anyway

00:17:27.639 --> 00:17:28.259
 I remember when

00:17:28.259 --> 00:17:29.619
 Vanessa and I were first married

00:17:29.619 --> 00:17:30.139
 we were

00:17:30.139 --> 00:17:31.660
 we were having an argument

00:17:31.660 --> 00:17:33.579
 it was a very rare occasion

00:17:33.579 --> 00:17:35.399
 but we were having an argument

00:17:35.399 --> 00:17:36.519
 we lived in a small flat

00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:37.359
 in Sheffield

00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:38.740
 which

00:17:38.740 --> 00:17:39.259
 it was like

00:17:39.259 --> 00:17:40.620
 the bishop's old house

00:17:40.620 --> 00:17:41.019
 in Sheffield

00:17:41.019 --> 00:17:42.220
 had been turned into apartments

00:17:42.220 --> 00:17:43.480
 and I think they'd just like

00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:44.839
 put paper between the apartments

00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:45.200
 it wasn't

00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:45.400
 you know

00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:46.299
 you could hear everything right

00:17:46.299 --> 00:17:47.920
 and so we were having this argument

00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:48.920
 and then someone just started

00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:50.599
 banging on the wall

00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:51.740
 to tell us to shut up

00:17:51.740 --> 00:17:52.160
 and

00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:53.220
 and then all of a sudden

00:17:53.220 --> 00:17:53.880
 we just started laughing

00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:54.500
 and we couldn't even remember

00:17:54.500 --> 00:17:55.640
 what we were arguing about

00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:56.359
 but that's

00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:57.579
 that's the sense here isn't it

00:17:57.579 --> 00:17:58.299
 that there's a sort of

00:17:58.299 --> 00:17:59.279
 there's a pettiness

00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:00.839
 to selfish ambition

00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:02.120
 which forgets

00:18:02.120 --> 00:18:03.240
 that there's a day coming

00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:04.460
 a day of future joy

00:18:04.460 --> 00:18:05.759
 when we'll stand before the Lord

00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:06.920
 when actually

00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:07.220
 that

00:18:07.220 --> 00:18:08.839
 that idea that you were making

00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:09.980
 a name for yourself

00:18:09.980 --> 00:18:10.539
 in the church

00:18:10.539 --> 00:18:12.019
 will seem to be so pathetic

00:18:12.019 --> 00:18:12.920
 and silly

00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:14.980
 why were you so bothered about that

00:18:14.980 --> 00:18:16.420
 there's a day of future joy

00:18:16.420 --> 00:18:18.480
 why are you so bothered about

00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:19.660
 being right in that discussion

00:18:19.660 --> 00:18:21.120
 with other euodia and syndicate

00:18:21.120 --> 00:18:21.779
 because there's a

00:18:21.779 --> 00:18:23.220
 there's a day of future joy

00:18:23.220 --> 00:18:23.600
 and that will

00:18:23.600 --> 00:18:24.620
 you won't be bothered

00:18:24.620 --> 00:18:26.000
 there'll be a banging on the wall

00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:26.480
 and you'll forget

00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:27.700
 what you were arguing about

00:18:27.700 --> 00:18:29.799
 and that's the sense here

00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:30.900
 okay so

00:18:30.900 --> 00:18:32.539
 just in your pairs

00:18:32.539 --> 00:18:33.740
 I think I put one question

00:18:33.740 --> 00:18:34.480
 for discussion there

00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:35.400
 what would it look like

00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:37.140
 for you to pay joy forwards

00:18:37.140 --> 00:18:38.759
 what would it look like

00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:40.279
 for you to pay joy forwards

00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:41.160
 have I written that on your

00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:44.799
 invest in future joy

00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:46.299
 have a talk with the person

00:18:46.299 --> 00:18:47.319
 next to you about that

00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:50.940
 did anyone have a really

00:18:50.940 --> 00:18:51.599
 helpful answer

00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:52.500
 that they want to share

00:18:52.500 --> 00:18:55.099
 no

00:18:55.099 --> 00:18:57.599
 just a no

00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:05.519
 come on Florence

00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:09.219
 yes

00:19:09.219 --> 00:19:10.179
 yes

00:19:10.179 --> 00:19:10.740
 so there are issues

00:19:10.740 --> 00:19:11.579
 that become a priority

00:19:11.579 --> 00:19:12.099
 in this life

00:19:12.099 --> 00:19:13.099
 which they probably shouldn't be

00:19:13.099 --> 00:19:13.899
 in the light of the future

00:19:13.899 --> 00:19:14.939
 we can be obsessed with

00:19:14.939 --> 00:19:16.539
 present blessing

00:19:16.539 --> 00:19:17.879
 rather than future blessing

00:19:17.879 --> 00:19:18.699
 yeah

00:19:18.699 --> 00:19:19.599
 yeah

00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:20.099
 yeah

00:19:20.099 --> 00:19:23.439
 there's a

00:19:23.439 --> 00:19:24.059
 there's a really

00:19:24.059 --> 00:19:25.699
 helpful Puritan

00:19:25.700 --> 00:19:27.539
 prayer that

00:19:27.539 --> 00:19:28.299
 um

00:19:28.299 --> 00:19:30.279
 that gave something like this

00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:30.519
 we

00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:31.460
 uh

00:19:31.460 --> 00:19:33.080
 we hasten to a day

00:19:33.080 --> 00:19:34.519
 where it will be

00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:35.140
 immaterial

00:19:35.140 --> 00:19:36.340
 whether we were rich

00:19:36.340 --> 00:19:37.160
 or poor

00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:38.400
 happy

00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:39.180
 or sad

00:19:39.180 --> 00:19:40.640
 and

00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:41.120
 you know

00:19:41.120 --> 00:19:41.460
 there's that

00:19:41.460 --> 00:19:42.620
 it's that sense isn't there

00:19:42.620 --> 00:19:43.039
 we are

00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:43.900
 we are running

00:19:43.900 --> 00:19:44.960
 towards a day

00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:46.400
 where actually

00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:47.559
 much of what we worry

00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:48.100
 about today

00:19:48.100 --> 00:19:48.819
 will be completely

00:19:48.819 --> 00:19:49.319
 immaterial

00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:51.299
 and so we live

00:19:51.299 --> 00:19:51.740
 in the light

00:19:51.740 --> 00:19:52.480
 of that day

00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:53.759
 we make

00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:55.200
 our joy complete

00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:56.759
 we make Paul's joy complete

00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:58.740
 we make one another's joy complete

00:19:58.740 --> 00:19:59.920
 by living in the light

00:19:59.920 --> 00:20:00.799
 of Christ's return

00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:02.960
 yes

00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:03.440
 there are things

00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:04.259
 concerning us

00:20:04.259 --> 00:20:05.140
 but if the Lord

00:20:05.140 --> 00:20:05.779
 took us tonight

00:20:05.779 --> 00:20:06.240
 we'd be

00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:06.779
 yes

00:20:06.779 --> 00:20:07.599
 why would we say

00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:08.480
 worried about it

00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:09.200
 yeah

00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:11.039
 great

00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:13.640
 Christian

00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:14.619
 second surprise

00:20:14.619 --> 00:20:15.019
 okay

00:20:15.019 --> 00:20:15.819
 we're going to move

00:20:15.819 --> 00:20:16.339
 a little bit more

00:20:16.339 --> 00:20:16.799
 quickly

00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:17.440
 uh

00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:18.960
 Christian community

00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:20.019
 starts with

00:20:20.019 --> 00:20:21.019
 Christ-like

00:20:21.019 --> 00:20:21.680
 thinking

00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:23.420
 I am told

00:20:23.420 --> 00:20:24.340
 because I'm not really

00:20:24.340 --> 00:20:25.000
 very good at this anyway

00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:26.000
 but verse 5

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:26.660
 is quite difficult

00:20:26.660 --> 00:20:27.299
 to translate

00:20:27.299 --> 00:20:28.500
 and there are

00:20:28.500 --> 00:20:29.560
 a couple of different

00:20:29.560 --> 00:20:30.779
 Greek

00:20:30.779 --> 00:20:31.779
 possibilities

00:20:31.779 --> 00:20:32.620
 in terms of

00:20:32.620 --> 00:20:33.620
 background text

00:20:33.620 --> 00:20:34.100
 as well

00:20:34.100 --> 00:20:35.160
 so the question

00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:35.759
 is whether it's

00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:36.420
 really a command

00:20:36.420 --> 00:20:37.799
 or it's passive

00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:39.700
 so the NIV translation

00:20:39.700 --> 00:20:41.480
 is really a paraphrase

00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:41.980
 of what's there

00:20:41.980 --> 00:20:43.019
 in your relationships

00:20:43.019 --> 00:20:43.700
 with one another

00:20:43.700 --> 00:20:44.900
 have the same mindset

00:20:44.900 --> 00:20:46.500
 as Christ Jesus

00:20:46.500 --> 00:20:48.180
 the ESV

00:20:48.180 --> 00:20:49.180
 if you have one of those

00:20:49.180 --> 00:20:49.880
 translates it

00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:50.640
 have this mind

00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:51.400
 among yourselves

00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:52.860
 which is yours

00:20:52.860 --> 00:20:53.820
 in Christ Jesus

00:20:53.820 --> 00:20:54.940
 and that sort of

00:20:54.940 --> 00:20:56.100
 captures the spread

00:20:56.100 --> 00:20:56.900
 of the possibilities

00:20:56.900 --> 00:20:58.540
 either this is an imperative

00:20:58.540 --> 00:21:00.440
 you have the same mindset

00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:01.020
 as Christ Jesus

00:21:01.020 --> 00:21:01.220
 you know

00:21:01.220 --> 00:21:02.180
 make sure you have that

00:21:02.180 --> 00:21:03.420
 or

00:21:03.420 --> 00:21:04.280
 have this mind

00:21:04.280 --> 00:21:04.960
 it's yours

00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:05.759
 in Christ Jesus

00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:06.800
 so live it out

00:21:06.800 --> 00:21:07.320
 now

00:21:07.320 --> 00:21:08.380
 you can

00:21:08.380 --> 00:21:09.140
 read

00:21:09.140 --> 00:21:10.500
 any number of commentaries

00:21:10.500 --> 00:21:10.800
 which

00:21:10.800 --> 00:21:11.840
 will tell you

00:21:11.840 --> 00:21:12.680
 any number of things

00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:13.200
 about that

00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:13.840
 but basically

00:21:13.840 --> 00:21:15.000
 it comes down to this

00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:15.960
 I guess

00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:16.580
 in a sense

00:21:16.580 --> 00:21:17.060
 is that

00:21:17.060 --> 00:21:18.240
 Christ Jesus

00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:19.780
 thought in this way

00:21:19.779 --> 00:21:21.139
 you also

00:21:21.139 --> 00:21:21.940
 should think

00:21:21.940 --> 00:21:22.980
 in that way

00:21:22.980 --> 00:21:24.160
 and it's right

00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:24.819
 to say isn't it

00:21:24.819 --> 00:21:26.099
 that as we become

00:21:26.099 --> 00:21:26.359
 Christians

00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:26.839
 we are given

00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:27.799
 the mind of Christ

00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:29.119
 we by the spirit

00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:29.500
 of God

00:21:29.500 --> 00:21:30.379
 we think like

00:21:30.379 --> 00:21:30.960
 the Lord Jesus

00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:32.220
 we are being transformed

00:21:32.220 --> 00:21:33.279
 into his likeness

00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:34.359
 to think like him

00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:35.420
 so that's also true

00:21:35.420 --> 00:21:36.339
 but it's also true

00:21:36.339 --> 00:21:37.879
 that we should strain

00:21:37.879 --> 00:21:38.619
 every effort

00:21:38.619 --> 00:21:39.639
 to think like Christ

00:21:39.639 --> 00:21:40.779
 so I don't think

00:21:40.779 --> 00:21:41.240
 there's any

00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:43.059
 great battle

00:21:43.059 --> 00:21:43.539
 to have

00:21:43.539 --> 00:21:44.299
 in the translation

00:21:44.299 --> 00:21:45.079
 of verse 5

00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:46.200
 particularly

00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:47.019
 but the idea

00:21:47.019 --> 00:21:47.620
 is that

00:21:47.620 --> 00:21:48.720
 Christian living

00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:50.080
 starts with

00:21:50.080 --> 00:21:50.920
 Christ-like

00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:51.779
 thinking

00:21:51.779 --> 00:21:53.019
 Christian living

00:21:53.019 --> 00:21:53.660
 starts with

00:21:53.660 --> 00:21:54.279
 Christ-like

00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:54.819
 thinking

00:21:54.819 --> 00:21:56.640
 and the community

00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:57.519
 the Christian community

00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:58.380
 which Paul is so

00:21:58.380 --> 00:21:59.640
 eager to see formed

00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:00.559
 is a function

00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:01.759
 of how they think

00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:02.900
 before it's a function

00:22:02.900 --> 00:22:03.779
 of what they do

00:22:03.779 --> 00:22:05.360
 and what then

00:22:05.360 --> 00:22:06.220
 is that thinking

00:22:06.220 --> 00:22:07.000
 well it's outlined

00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:07.660
 in the verses

00:22:07.660 --> 00:22:08.140
 that follow

00:22:08.140 --> 00:22:09.420
 in verses 6 to 8

00:22:09.420 --> 00:22:10.620
 Christ Jesus

00:22:10.620 --> 00:22:11.500
 who being

00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:12.400
 in very nature

00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:12.680
 God

00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:13.559
 did not consider

00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:14.700
 equality with God

00:22:14.700 --> 00:22:16.240
 something to be used

00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:16.960
 to his own

00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:18.039
 advantage

00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:19.259
 he's not making

00:22:19.259 --> 00:22:20.600
 himself less than God

00:22:20.600 --> 00:22:21.980
 he is in very nature

00:22:21.980 --> 00:22:22.340
 God

00:22:22.340 --> 00:22:23.480
 but he is not using

00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:24.180
 his divinity

00:22:24.180 --> 00:22:25.019
 to overcome

00:22:25.019 --> 00:22:26.220
 the weakness

00:22:26.220 --> 00:22:27.259
 of human flesh

00:22:27.259 --> 00:22:28.100
 which he is taking

00:22:28.100 --> 00:22:29.019
 on to himself

00:22:29.019 --> 00:22:30.720
 instead verse 7

00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:32.140
 he is making himself

00:22:32.140 --> 00:22:32.740
 nothing

00:22:32.740 --> 00:22:34.460
 taking the very

00:22:34.460 --> 00:22:35.779
 nature of a servant

00:22:35.779 --> 00:22:36.580
 being made

00:22:36.580 --> 00:22:38.000
 in human likeness

00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:39.319
 Jesus takes

00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:40.100
 to himself

00:22:40.100 --> 00:22:42.000
 full humanity

00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:44.340
 even as he is

00:22:44.339 --> 00:22:45.799
 in very nature

00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:46.179
 God

00:22:46.179 --> 00:22:47.179
 he becomes

00:22:47.179 --> 00:22:49.179
 human

00:22:49.179 --> 00:22:50.359
 being made

00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:52.220
 in human likeness

00:22:52.220 --> 00:22:53.720
 and then

00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:54.379
 being found

00:22:54.379 --> 00:22:54.959
 in appearance

00:22:54.959 --> 00:22:55.759
 as a man

00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:57.179
 he humbled himself

00:22:57.179 --> 00:22:59.119
 by becoming

00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:00.259
 obedient to death

00:23:00.259 --> 00:23:01.259
 even death

00:23:01.259 --> 00:23:02.039
 on a cross

00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:03.159
 it's the steps

00:23:03.159 --> 00:23:03.980
 down isn't it

00:23:03.980 --> 00:23:04.399
 from the

00:23:04.399 --> 00:23:05.459
 from the glories

00:23:05.459 --> 00:23:05.959
 of heaven

00:23:05.959 --> 00:23:07.159
 to the weakness

00:23:07.159 --> 00:23:08.240
 of human flesh

00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:09.419
 to the humble

00:23:09.419 --> 00:23:10.519
 status of a servant

00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:12.159
 to the service

00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:12.820
 of death

00:23:12.820 --> 00:23:13.600
 on a cross

00:23:13.600 --> 00:23:14.440
 for the sake

00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:15.000
 of others

00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:17.220
 now again

00:23:17.220 --> 00:23:18.080
 I don't want to do

00:23:18.080 --> 00:23:18.680
 all the talking

00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:19.100
 this evening

00:23:19.100 --> 00:23:19.860
 so I just wonder

00:23:19.860 --> 00:23:20.480
 whether you could

00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:21.019
 think of a way

00:23:21.019 --> 00:23:21.440
 that you might

00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:22.759
 describe Jesus'

00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:23.160
 thinking

00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:23.700
 if you could

00:23:23.700 --> 00:23:24.940
 encapsulate

00:23:24.940 --> 00:23:25.920
 Jesus' thinking

00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:27.380
 in verses 6 to 8

00:23:27.380 --> 00:23:28.160
 how would you

00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:28.840
 encapsulate it

00:23:28.840 --> 00:23:29.279
 what would you

00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:30.680
 describe Jesus'

00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:31.540
 thinking as

00:23:31.540 --> 00:23:32.420
 in verses 6 to 8

00:23:32.420 --> 00:23:33.500
 and then what would it

00:23:33.500 --> 00:23:33.980
 mean for you

00:23:33.980 --> 00:23:35.220
 to think the same way

00:23:35.220 --> 00:23:35.740
 okay

00:23:35.740 --> 00:23:36.640
 how would you

00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:37.720
 encapsulate Jesus'

00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:38.220
 thinking

00:23:38.220 --> 00:23:38.660
 how would you

00:23:38.660 --> 00:23:39.660
 describe Jesus'

00:23:39.660 --> 00:23:40.940
 thinking in verses 6 to 8

00:23:40.940 --> 00:23:41.980
 what would it mean

00:23:41.980 --> 00:23:43.259
 to think the same way

00:23:43.259 --> 00:23:45.140
 have a think about that

00:23:45.140 --> 00:23:45.799
 just for a moment

00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:46.279
 because we're going

00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:46.400
 to

00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:48.460
 okay

00:23:48.460 --> 00:23:49.279
 how would you

00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:50.100
 how would you

00:23:50.100 --> 00:23:51.259
 describe Jesus'

00:23:51.460 --> 00:23:51.840
 thinking

00:23:51.840 --> 00:23:52.840
 what's Jesus'

00:23:53.080 --> 00:23:54.799
 mindset in verses 6 to 8

00:23:54.799 --> 00:24:00.180
 anybody

00:24:00.180 --> 00:24:05.860
 so he's thinking

00:24:05.860 --> 00:24:07.059
 of humanity

00:24:07.059 --> 00:24:07.600
 he's thinking

00:24:07.600 --> 00:24:08.320
 of people

00:24:08.320 --> 00:24:08.900
 yeah

00:24:08.900 --> 00:24:11.060
 and not using

00:24:11.060 --> 00:24:12.660
 his divinity

00:24:12.660 --> 00:24:13.220
 as a reason

00:24:13.220 --> 00:24:13.900
 not to

00:24:13.900 --> 00:24:15.160
 serve humanity

00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:15.519
 in the way

00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:16.019
 that they needed

00:24:16.019 --> 00:24:16.320
 yeah

00:24:16.320 --> 00:24:17.560
 he's not

00:24:17.560 --> 00:24:18.560
 like he's not

00:24:18.560 --> 00:24:18.860
 going

00:24:18.860 --> 00:24:20.600
 I'm above this

00:24:20.600 --> 00:24:20.980
 right

00:24:20.980 --> 00:24:22.600
 these guys are

00:24:22.600 --> 00:24:24.120
 messed up

00:24:24.120 --> 00:24:24.460
 right

00:24:24.460 --> 00:24:25.040
 what am I doing

00:24:25.040 --> 00:24:25.360
 here

00:24:25.360 --> 00:24:26.680
 these guys are

00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:27.560
 these guys are

00:24:27.560 --> 00:24:28.440
 not worthy

00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:29.100
 of my

00:24:29.100 --> 00:24:30.160
 service

00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:30.780
 I am

00:24:30.780 --> 00:24:31.960
 leaving them alone

00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:32.440
 he's not thinking

00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:32.920
 like that at all

00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:33.200
 is he

00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:34.120
 he's

00:24:34.120 --> 00:24:34.960
 he's giving

00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:35.640
 himself up

00:24:35.640 --> 00:24:36.259
 yeah

00:24:36.259 --> 00:24:37.860
 thanks Claire

00:24:37.860 --> 00:24:38.440
 others

00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:39.980
 I feel like

00:24:39.980 --> 00:24:40.600
 Liz is on the

00:24:40.600 --> 00:24:41.160
 cusp of a

00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:41.500
 thought

00:24:41.500 --> 00:24:43.200
 but it's

00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:47.420
 I just think

00:24:47.420 --> 00:24:50.720
 somewhere

00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:51.400
 there was

00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:52.420
 because there's

00:24:52.420 --> 00:24:53.000
 another scripture

00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:53.860
 there was

00:24:53.860 --> 00:24:55.200
 joy

00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:56.240
 in actually

00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:56.820
 doing

00:24:56.820 --> 00:24:57.200
 this

00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:57.519
 this

00:24:57.519 --> 00:24:58.240
 because

00:24:58.240 --> 00:24:58.500
 we're

00:24:58.500 --> 00:24:58.740
 human

00:24:58.740 --> 00:24:59.340
 beings

00:24:59.340 --> 00:25:01.039
 we wouldn't

00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:01.660
 naturally

00:25:01.660 --> 00:25:03.240
 want to

00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:03.559
 leave

00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:05.340
 our status

00:25:05.340 --> 00:25:06.480
 and to

00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:06.779
 become

00:25:06.779 --> 00:25:07.299
 nobody

00:25:07.299 --> 00:25:08.740
 yet Jesus

00:25:08.740 --> 00:25:09.480
 was willingly

00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:11.080
 doing that

00:25:11.080 --> 00:25:11.880
 so he must

00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:12.480
 have thought

00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:14.360
 they're worth it

00:25:14.360 --> 00:25:16.080
 you know

00:25:16.080 --> 00:25:17.299
 it's in another

00:25:17.299 --> 00:25:17.720
 reason

00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:18.440
 yeah

00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:19.360
 yeah

00:25:19.360 --> 00:25:19.460
 yeah

00:25:19.460 --> 00:25:21.019
 this is

00:25:21.019 --> 00:25:21.740
 Hebrews 12

00:25:21.740 --> 00:25:22.120
 2

00:25:22.120 --> 00:25:22.759
 isn't it

00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:23.360
 he for the

00:25:23.360 --> 00:25:23.839
 joy that

00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:24.259
 was set

00:25:24.259 --> 00:25:24.960
 before him

00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:25.500
 endured

00:25:25.500 --> 00:25:26.079
 the cross

00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:26.579
 scorning

00:25:26.579 --> 00:25:27.059
 its shame

00:25:27.059 --> 00:25:27.539
 and sat

00:25:27.539 --> 00:25:27.960
 down at

00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:28.319
 the right

00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:28.640
 hand of

00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:28.980
 the throne

00:25:28.980 --> 00:25:29.420
 of God

00:25:29.420 --> 00:25:30.880
 consider him

00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:31.460
 who endured

00:25:31.460 --> 00:25:32.339
 such opposition

00:25:32.339 --> 00:25:32.900
 from sinners

00:25:32.900 --> 00:25:33.360
 that you will

00:25:33.360 --> 00:25:33.700
 not grow

00:25:33.700 --> 00:25:34.000
 weary

00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:34.400
 and lose

00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:34.779
 heart

00:25:34.779 --> 00:25:35.460
 yeah

00:25:35.460 --> 00:25:36.180
 the joy

00:25:36.180 --> 00:25:36.420
 set

00:25:36.420 --> 00:25:37.000
 before him

00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:39.779
 yeah

00:25:39.779 --> 00:25:41.180
 so what

00:25:41.180 --> 00:25:41.440
 do you think

00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:41.680
 it would

00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:42.059
 look like

00:25:42.059 --> 00:25:42.680
 for us

00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:43.240
 to think

00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:43.720
 in the same

00:25:43.720 --> 00:25:44.019
 way

00:25:44.019 --> 00:25:48.180
 I think

00:25:48.180 --> 00:25:48.440
 I've

00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:48.700
 before

00:25:48.700 --> 00:25:49.799
 I summarized

00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:50.019
 it like

00:25:50.019 --> 00:25:50.180
 this

00:25:50.180 --> 00:25:50.440
 I think

00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:50.940
 at

00:25:50.940 --> 00:25:51.259
 Redeemer

00:25:51.259 --> 00:25:51.879
 yesterday

00:25:51.879 --> 00:25:52.339
 and I

00:25:52.339 --> 00:25:52.559
 think I

00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:52.839
 did this

00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:53.200
 before

00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:53.740
 for us

00:25:53.740 --> 00:25:53.960
 that

00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:54.859
 this is

00:25:54.859 --> 00:25:55.759
 self-sacrificial

00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:56.480
 service

00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:57.460
 for the

00:25:57.460 --> 00:25:57.799
 eternal

00:25:57.799 --> 00:25:58.220
 well-being

00:25:58.220 --> 00:25:58.619
 of others

00:25:58.619 --> 00:25:58.940
 to the

00:25:58.940 --> 00:25:59.180
 glory

00:25:59.180 --> 00:25:59.619
 of God

00:25:59.619 --> 00:25:59.920
 right

00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:00.359
 that's

00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:00.940
 that's

00:26:00.940 --> 00:26:01.119
 what's

00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:01.460
 going on

00:26:01.460 --> 00:26:01.720
 here

00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:02.379
 what would

00:26:02.379 --> 00:26:02.759
 it mean

00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:03.139
 for us

00:26:03.139 --> 00:26:03.539
 to think

00:26:03.539 --> 00:26:04.180
 that same

00:26:04.180 --> 00:26:04.680
 way

00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:13.139
 so

00:26:13.139 --> 00:26:13.500
 at least

00:26:13.500 --> 00:26:13.859
 had a good

00:26:13.859 --> 00:26:14.200
 phrase

00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:14.599
 which she's

00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:14.799
 borrowed

00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:15.140
 from a

00:26:15.140 --> 00:26:15.359
 book

00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:15.740
 that she's

00:26:15.740 --> 00:26:15.960
 read

00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:17.019
 go on

00:26:17.019 --> 00:26:21.339
 yes

00:26:21.339 --> 00:26:22.759
 not to

00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:23.200
 think less

00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:23.599
 of yourself

00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:23.940
 but to

00:26:23.940 --> 00:26:24.259
 think of

00:26:24.259 --> 00:26:24.779
 yourself

00:26:24.779 --> 00:26:25.480
 less

00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:26.559
 yeah

00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:28.440
 it's not

00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:28.779
 like a

00:26:28.779 --> 00:26:29.180
 continual

00:26:29.180 --> 00:26:29.680
 putting down

00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:30.059
 of yourself

00:26:30.059 --> 00:26:30.460
 but just

00:26:30.460 --> 00:26:31.079
 not actually

00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:31.660
 thinking of

00:26:31.660 --> 00:26:32.079
 yourself

00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:32.960
 in those

00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:33.440
 situations

00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:34.380
 yeah

00:26:34.380 --> 00:26:35.720
 that's a

00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:36.319
 Tim Keller

00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:36.960
 ism

00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:38.119
 it's helpful

00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:38.680
 yeah

00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:40.299
 yes

00:26:40.299 --> 00:26:41.720
 there is

00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:42.880
 we should

00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:43.300
 be willing

00:26:43.300 --> 00:26:43.960
 to consider

00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:44.580
 whatever it

00:26:44.580 --> 00:26:44.880
 is that

00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:45.280
 we're asked

00:26:45.280 --> 00:26:45.600
 to do

00:26:45.600 --> 00:26:45.860
 by the

00:26:45.860 --> 00:26:46.000
 Lord

00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:46.380
 however

00:26:46.380 --> 00:26:46.900
 humbling

00:26:46.900 --> 00:26:47.380
 it is

00:26:47.380 --> 00:26:47.660
 yeah

00:26:47.660 --> 00:26:48.880
 because

00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:49.240
 actually

00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:49.640
 if these

00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:49.920
 verses

00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:50.320
 are right

00:26:50.320 --> 00:26:50.600
 then

00:26:50.600 --> 00:26:51.480
 it's

00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:51.840
 it's

00:26:51.840 --> 00:26:52.160
 okay

00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:52.540
 for us

00:26:52.540 --> 00:26:52.780
 to be

00:26:52.780 --> 00:26:53.020
 asked

00:26:53.020 --> 00:26:53.540
 to do

00:26:53.540 --> 00:26:54.260
 big

00:26:54.260 --> 00:26:54.680
 things

00:26:54.680 --> 00:26:54.880
 and

00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:55.600
 significantly

00:26:55.600 --> 00:26:56.400
 humbling

00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:56.800
 things

00:26:56.800 --> 00:26:57.160
 and to

00:26:57.160 --> 00:26:57.480
 lose

00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:57.800
 things

00:26:57.800 --> 00:26:58.020
 that

00:26:58.020 --> 00:26:58.240
 are

00:26:58.240 --> 00:26:58.600
 precious

00:26:58.600 --> 00:26:58.880
 to

00:26:58.880 --> 00:26:59.200
 us

00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:00.020
 for the

00:27:00.020 --> 00:27:00.240
 sake

00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:00.400
 of

00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:00.560
 other

00:27:00.560 --> 00:27:01.540
 people's

00:27:01.540 --> 00:27:01.960
 eternal

00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:02.440
 well-being

00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:02.740
 it's

00:27:02.740 --> 00:27:03.240
 okay

00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:03.520
 yeah

00:27:03.520 --> 00:27:03.700
 I think

00:27:03.700 --> 00:27:03.820
 that's

00:27:03.820 --> 00:27:03.960
 what you're

00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:04.120
 saying

00:27:04.120 --> 00:27:04.240
 isn't

00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:04.380
 it's

00:27:04.380 --> 00:27:04.740
 okay

00:27:04.740 --> 00:27:05.200
 for God

00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:06.100
 to ask

00:27:06.100 --> 00:27:06.480
 you

00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:07.240
 to lay

00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:07.900
 that down

00:27:07.900 --> 00:27:08.799
 for the

00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:09.080
 eternal

00:27:09.080 --> 00:27:09.460
 well-being

00:27:09.460 --> 00:27:09.860
 of somebody

00:27:09.860 --> 00:27:10.259
 else

00:27:10.259 --> 00:27:10.700
 yeah

00:27:10.700 --> 00:27:11.480
 it's

00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:12.000
 profoundly

00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:12.500
 challenging

00:27:12.500 --> 00:27:13.140
 isn't it

00:27:13.140 --> 00:27:13.880
 profoundly

00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:14.360
 challenging

00:27:14.360 --> 00:27:15.279
 Vanessa

00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:15.660
 are you

00:27:15.660 --> 00:27:16.340
 going to

00:27:16.340 --> 00:27:16.759
 say something

00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:16.980
 or we

00:27:16.980 --> 00:27:17.100
 just

00:27:17.100 --> 00:27:19.620
 yes

00:27:19.620 --> 00:27:20.680
 yes

00:27:20.680 --> 00:27:21.460
 so it

00:27:21.460 --> 00:27:21.819
 is a

00:27:21.819 --> 00:27:22.259
 concern

00:27:22.259 --> 00:27:22.620
 for the

00:27:22.620 --> 00:27:22.900
 glory

00:27:22.900 --> 00:27:23.319
 of God

00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:23.799
 over and

00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:24.120
 above it

00:27:24.120 --> 00:27:24.500
 is for

00:27:24.500 --> 00:27:25.759
 the pat

00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:25.980
 on the

00:27:25.980 --> 00:27:26.180
 back

00:27:26.180 --> 00:27:26.640
 of people

00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:26.980
 yeah

00:27:26.980 --> 00:27:28.240
 yeah

00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:29.539
 yeah

00:27:29.539 --> 00:27:35.159
 okay

00:27:35.159 --> 00:27:36.440
 let's just

00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:36.759
 move on

00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:36.940
 and do

00:27:36.940 --> 00:27:37.420
 the third

00:27:37.420 --> 00:27:37.920
 thing

00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:38.440
 the third

00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:38.859
 and final

00:27:38.859 --> 00:27:39.339
 surprise

00:27:39.339 --> 00:27:39.839
 is that

00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:41.059
 humility

00:27:41.059 --> 00:27:42.159
 is divine

00:27:42.159 --> 00:27:42.960
 greatness

00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:44.539
 and maybe

00:27:44.539 --> 00:27:45.119
 this isn't a

00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:45.440
 surprise

00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:45.720
 because I

00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:45.980
 think we're

00:27:45.980 --> 00:27:46.599
 perhaps so

00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:46.960
 used to

00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:47.240
 it but

00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:47.420
 the

00:27:47.420 --> 00:27:47.960
 therefore

00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:48.500
 in verse

00:27:48.500 --> 00:27:48.980
 nine

00:27:48.980 --> 00:27:49.819
 is supposed

00:27:49.819 --> 00:27:50.220
 to come

00:27:50.220 --> 00:27:50.579
 I think

00:27:50.579 --> 00:27:50.920
 as a

00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:51.480
 surprise

00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:51.819
 or a

00:27:51.819 --> 00:27:52.220
 shock

00:27:52.220 --> 00:27:53.359
 that it

00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:53.639
 is

00:27:53.639 --> 00:27:54.680
 as

00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:55.259
 God

00:27:55.259 --> 00:27:56.500
 sees

00:27:56.500 --> 00:27:56.720
 the

00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:57.200
 humility

00:27:57.200 --> 00:27:58.000
 of the

00:27:58.000 --> 00:27:58.339
 son

00:27:58.339 --> 00:27:58.980
 in human

00:27:58.980 --> 00:27:59.460
 flesh

00:27:59.460 --> 00:27:59.860
 that he

00:27:59.860 --> 00:28:00.259
 exalts

00:28:00.259 --> 00:28:00.420
 him

00:28:00.420 --> 00:28:00.660
 to the

00:28:00.660 --> 00:28:00.880
 highest

00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:01.460
 place

00:28:01.460 --> 00:28:02.200
 I think

00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:02.519
 literally

00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:02.880
 the word

00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:03.420
 there is

00:28:03.420 --> 00:28:04.519
 is hyper

00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:04.880
 exalt

00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:05.500
 or super

00:28:05.500 --> 00:28:05.980
 exalts

00:28:05.980 --> 00:28:06.299
 him

00:28:06.299 --> 00:28:07.779
 that

00:28:07.779 --> 00:28:08.980
 we've got

00:28:08.980 --> 00:28:09.299
 to be careful

00:28:09.299 --> 00:28:09.539
 haven't we

00:28:09.539 --> 00:28:10.000
 the son

00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:10.700
 is eternally

00:28:10.700 --> 00:28:11.120
 divine

00:28:11.120 --> 00:28:11.960
 verse six

00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:12.640
 he is in

00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:13.279
 very nature

00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:13.600
 God

00:28:13.600 --> 00:28:14.299
 has been

00:28:14.299 --> 00:28:15.400
 and continues

00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:15.819
 to be

00:28:15.819 --> 00:28:16.360
 in very

00:28:16.360 --> 00:28:16.620
 nature

00:28:16.620 --> 00:28:16.860
 God

00:28:16.860 --> 00:28:17.180
 this is

00:28:17.180 --> 00:28:17.480
 not the

00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:17.920
 elevation

00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:18.259
 of the

00:28:18.259 --> 00:28:18.460
 son

00:28:18.460 --> 00:28:18.759
 to a

00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:19.039
 status

00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:19.340
 that he

00:28:19.340 --> 00:28:19.680
 did not

00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:19.860
 have

00:28:19.860 --> 00:28:20.200
 before

00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:20.700
 in eternity

00:28:20.700 --> 00:28:21.319
 past

00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:22.059
 God

00:28:22.059 --> 00:28:22.460
 the son

00:28:22.460 --> 00:28:22.779
 was

00:28:22.779 --> 00:28:23.340
 and is

00:28:23.340 --> 00:28:23.759
 divine

00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:24.360
 rather

00:28:24.360 --> 00:28:24.759
 this seems

00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:24.960
 to be

00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:25.420
 related to

00:28:25.420 --> 00:28:25.579
 the

00:28:25.579 --> 00:28:26.180
 humanity

00:28:26.180 --> 00:28:27.480
 of Jesus

00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:28.019
 Christ

00:28:28.019 --> 00:28:28.519
 the God

00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:28.779
 man

00:28:28.779 --> 00:28:29.099
 Christ

00:28:29.099 --> 00:28:29.480
 Jesus

00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:30.700
 it is

00:28:30.700 --> 00:28:31.740
 God

00:28:31.740 --> 00:28:32.200
 the son

00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:33.200
 in flesh

00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:33.660
 that is

00:28:33.660 --> 00:28:34.019
 super

00:28:34.019 --> 00:28:34.480
 exalted

00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:35.399
 he is

00:28:35.399 --> 00:28:35.799
 given the

00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:35.980
 name

00:28:35.980 --> 00:28:36.240
 that is

00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:36.399
 above

00:28:36.399 --> 00:28:36.619
 every

00:28:36.619 --> 00:28:36.799
 name

00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:37.200
 he is

00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:37.339
 the

00:28:37.339 --> 00:28:37.779
 king

00:28:37.779 --> 00:28:38.639
 Jesus

00:28:38.639 --> 00:28:39.339
 is

00:28:39.339 --> 00:28:40.119
 Lord

00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:40.639
 it's

00:28:40.639 --> 00:28:40.759
 the

00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:41.019
 summary

00:28:41.019 --> 00:28:41.200
 of the

00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:41.440
 gospel

00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:41.660
 isn't

00:28:41.660 --> 00:28:41.839
 it

00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:42.579
 he is

00:28:42.579 --> 00:28:43.079
 Lord

00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:43.599
 the ruler

00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:43.920
 over

00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:44.240
 God's

00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:44.579
 people

00:28:44.579 --> 00:28:45.240
 he is

00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:45.379
 the

00:28:45.379 --> 00:28:45.839
 fulfillment

00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:46.180
 of all

00:28:46.180 --> 00:28:46.319
 the

00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:46.720
 kingship

00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:46.920
 in the

00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:47.059
 old

00:28:47.059 --> 00:28:47.379
 testament

00:28:47.379 --> 00:28:47.660
 that we've

00:28:47.660 --> 00:28:47.759
 been

00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:48.160
 looking at

00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:48.460
 on

00:28:48.460 --> 00:28:48.980
 Sunday

00:28:48.980 --> 00:28:49.339
 mornings

00:28:49.339 --> 00:28:49.799
 he is

00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:50.519
 the

00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:50.899
 head

00:28:50.899 --> 00:28:51.180
 over

00:28:51.180 --> 00:28:51.480
 God's

00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:51.759
 people

00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:52.139
 he is

00:28:52.139 --> 00:28:52.319
 the

00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:52.660
 new

00:28:52.660 --> 00:28:53.099
 Adam

00:28:53.099 --> 00:28:53.859
 the

00:28:53.859 --> 00:28:54.099
 new

00:28:54.099 --> 00:28:54.359
 head

00:28:54.359 --> 00:28:54.519
 of

00:28:54.519 --> 00:28:55.039
 humanity

00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:56.339
 so that

00:28:56.339 --> 00:28:56.480
 God

00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:56.599
 the

00:28:56.599 --> 00:28:56.819
 father

00:28:56.819 --> 00:28:57.200
 looks

00:28:57.200 --> 00:28:57.399
 on

00:28:57.399 --> 00:28:57.700
 Jesus

00:28:57.700 --> 00:28:57.980
 and

00:28:57.980 --> 00:28:58.240
 says

00:28:58.240 --> 00:28:58.819
 yes

00:28:58.819 --> 00:28:59.420
 amen

00:28:59.420 --> 00:29:00.440
 that is

00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:00.740
 my

00:29:00.740 --> 00:29:01.359
 divine

00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:01.980
 eternal

00:29:01.980 --> 00:29:02.359
 son

00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:02.639
 in

00:29:02.639 --> 00:29:03.079
 human

00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:03.480
 flesh

00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:04.000
 who

00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:04.119
 has

00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:04.639
 accomplished

00:29:04.639 --> 00:29:04.980
 all

00:29:04.980 --> 00:29:05.200
 that we

00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:05.399
 laid

00:29:05.399 --> 00:29:05.779
 before

00:29:05.779 --> 00:29:06.099
 him

00:29:06.099 --> 00:29:07.059
 his

00:29:07.059 --> 00:29:07.659
 humility

00:29:07.659 --> 00:29:07.980
 has

00:29:07.980 --> 00:29:08.700
 exposed

00:29:08.700 --> 00:29:09.200
 his

00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:09.779
 divine

00:29:09.779 --> 00:29:10.500
 DNA

00:29:10.500 --> 00:29:11.019
 if you

00:29:11.019 --> 00:29:11.399
 like

00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:12.460
 Jesus

00:29:12.460 --> 00:29:12.480
 Jesus

00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:12.740
 has

00:29:12.740 --> 00:29:13.519
 exposed

00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:13.900
 God

00:29:13.900 --> 00:29:14.200
 and

00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:14.640
 made

00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:14.860
 him

00:29:14.860 --> 00:29:15.200
 known

00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:16.040
 in

00:29:16.040 --> 00:29:16.540
 his

00:29:16.540 --> 00:29:17.160
 humility

00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:18.460
 now

00:29:18.460 --> 00:29:19.100
 creation

00:29:19.100 --> 00:29:19.440
 will

00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:20.040
 worship

00:29:20.040 --> 00:29:20.580
 Jesus

00:29:20.580 --> 00:29:21.720
 because

00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:22.300
 in

00:29:22.300 --> 00:29:22.759
 Jesus

00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:23.080
 we

00:29:23.080 --> 00:29:23.519
 see

00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:23.800
 the

00:29:23.800 --> 00:29:24.259
 divine

00:29:24.259 --> 00:29:25.180
 rule

00:29:25.180 --> 00:29:25.700
 and reign

00:29:25.700 --> 00:29:25.840
 of

00:29:25.840 --> 00:29:26.220
 God

00:29:26.220 --> 00:29:27.100
 so that

00:29:27.100 --> 00:29:27.280
 God

00:29:27.280 --> 00:29:27.460
 the

00:29:27.460 --> 00:29:27.980
 father

00:29:27.980 --> 00:29:28.340
 is

00:29:28.340 --> 00:29:29.160
 glorified

00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:29.400
 by

00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:29.840
 Jesus

00:29:29.840 --> 00:29:30.140
 being

00:29:30.140 --> 00:29:30.700
 worshipped

00:29:30.700 --> 00:29:30.900
 and

00:29:30.900 --> 00:29:31.280
 submitted

00:29:31.280 --> 00:29:31.500
 to

00:29:31.500 --> 00:29:32.060
 how

00:29:32.060 --> 00:29:32.320
 is

00:29:32.320 --> 00:29:32.880
 the

00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:33.540
 father

00:29:33.540 --> 00:29:35.080
 glorified

00:29:35.080 --> 00:29:35.340
 by

00:29:35.340 --> 00:29:35.900
 Jesus

00:29:35.900 --> 00:29:36.280
 being

00:29:36.280 --> 00:29:36.940
 worshipped

00:29:36.940 --> 00:29:37.360
 well

00:29:37.360 --> 00:29:37.700
 because

00:29:37.700 --> 00:29:38.200
 Jesus

00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:38.600
 being

00:29:38.600 --> 00:29:39.220
 worshipped

00:29:39.220 --> 00:29:39.920
 is the

00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:40.700
 exposure

00:29:40.700 --> 00:29:41.059
 of

00:29:41.059 --> 00:29:41.539
 divinity

00:29:41.539 --> 00:29:42.460
 because

00:29:42.460 --> 00:29:42.640
 you

00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:43.019
 see

00:29:43.019 --> 00:29:43.240
 in

00:29:43.240 --> 00:29:43.680
 Christ

00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:44.279
 what

00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:44.380
 it

00:29:44.380 --> 00:29:44.559
 is

00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:44.660
 to

00:29:44.660 --> 00:29:44.819
 be

00:29:44.819 --> 00:29:45.160
 God

00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:45.819
 and

00:29:45.819 --> 00:29:45.980
 so

00:29:45.980 --> 00:29:46.240
 God

00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:46.380
 is

00:29:46.380 --> 00:29:47.160
 glorified

00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:48.799
 I

00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:48.960
 don't

00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:49.080
 know

00:29:49.080 --> 00:29:49.240
 whether

00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:49.640
 can you

00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:49.799
 remember

00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:50.100
 those

00:29:50.100 --> 00:29:51.180
 magic eye

00:29:51.180 --> 00:29:51.640
 pictures

00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:52.120
 you know

00:29:52.120 --> 00:29:52.440
 when you

00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:53.340
 there was

00:29:53.340 --> 00:29:53.920
 like a phase

00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:54.319
 at Christmas

00:29:54.319 --> 00:29:54.680
 when there

00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:54.920
 were all

00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:55.319
 the rage

00:29:55.319 --> 00:29:55.759
 when you

00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:57.019
 hold them

00:29:57.019 --> 00:29:57.240
 up to

00:29:57.240 --> 00:29:57.620
 your eyes

00:29:57.620 --> 00:29:57.860
 and then

00:29:57.860 --> 00:29:58.120
 you move

00:29:58.120 --> 00:29:58.460
 them away

00:29:58.460 --> 00:29:58.759
 and all

00:29:58.759 --> 00:29:59.120
 of a sudden

00:29:59.120 --> 00:29:59.580
 the image

00:29:59.580 --> 00:30:00.180
 pops out

00:30:00.180 --> 00:30:01.080
 or if

00:30:01.080 --> 00:30:01.180
 you're

00:30:01.180 --> 00:30:01.440
 like me

00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:01.940
 you do

00:30:01.940 --> 00:30:02.240
 that for

00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:02.480
 ages

00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:02.600
 and

00:30:02.600 --> 00:30:03.380
 nothing

00:30:03.380 --> 00:30:03.880
 happens

00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:04.039
 at

00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:04.180
 all

00:30:04.180 --> 00:30:04.360
 I

00:30:04.360 --> 00:30:04.539
 think

00:30:04.539 --> 00:30:05.140
 you have

00:30:05.140 --> 00:30:05.319
 to be

00:30:05.319 --> 00:30:05.620
 slightly

00:30:05.619 --> 00:30:06.539
 cross-eyed

00:30:06.539 --> 00:30:07.059
 to see it

00:30:07.059 --> 00:30:07.439
 does anyone

00:30:07.439 --> 00:30:07.699
 know what

00:30:07.699 --> 00:30:08.000
 I'm talking

00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:08.359
 about

00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:10.439
 Florence

00:30:10.439 --> 00:30:10.719
 you have

00:30:10.719 --> 00:30:11.259
 no idea

00:30:11.259 --> 00:30:12.839
 she's

00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:13.379
 too young

00:30:13.379 --> 00:30:14.659
 Florence

00:30:14.659 --> 00:30:15.039
 I know

00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:15.279
 what I'm

00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:15.579
 getting you

00:30:15.579 --> 00:30:16.019
 for Christmas

00:30:16.019 --> 00:30:16.459
 right

00:30:16.459 --> 00:30:17.919
 a magic

00:30:17.919 --> 00:30:18.659
 eye picture

00:30:18.659 --> 00:30:19.719
 magic

00:30:19.719 --> 00:30:20.319
 eye picture

00:30:20.319 --> 00:30:20.839
 so

00:30:20.839 --> 00:30:22.899
 it is

00:30:22.900 --> 00:30:24.240
 I mean

00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:24.519
 this is

00:30:24.519 --> 00:30:24.720
 maybe

00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:25.400
 a slightly

00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:25.600
 silly

00:30:25.600 --> 00:30:26.000
 illustration

00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:26.640
 but it

00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:26.940
 is as

00:30:26.940 --> 00:30:27.180
 if

00:30:27.180 --> 00:30:27.700
 Jesus

00:30:27.700 --> 00:30:28.680
 as you

00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:29.200
 as you

00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:29.780
 hold him

00:30:29.780 --> 00:30:30.080
 up to

00:30:30.080 --> 00:30:30.680
 your face

00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:30.980
 as you

00:30:30.980 --> 00:30:31.880
 see Jesus

00:30:31.880 --> 00:30:32.320
 in his

00:30:32.320 --> 00:30:32.680
 humility

00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:32.880
 on the

00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:33.019
 cross

00:30:33.019 --> 00:30:34.240
 out pops

00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:34.820
 the glory

00:30:34.820 --> 00:30:35.200
 of God

00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:36.000
 the divinity

00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:37.220
 this is

00:30:37.220 --> 00:30:38.040
 God in

00:30:38.040 --> 00:30:38.620
 flesh

00:30:38.620 --> 00:30:39.500
 this is

00:30:39.500 --> 00:30:40.340
 what God

00:30:40.340 --> 00:30:41.080
 looks like

00:30:41.080 --> 00:30:41.380
 this

00:30:41.380 --> 00:30:42.320
 humility

00:30:42.320 --> 00:30:42.860
 is the

00:30:42.860 --> 00:30:43.519
 exposure

00:30:43.519 --> 00:30:44.160
 of God's

00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:44.540
 greatness

00:30:44.540 --> 00:30:44.960
 and his

00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:45.400
 majesty

00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:45.740
 and his

00:30:45.740 --> 00:30:46.060
 glory

00:30:46.060 --> 00:30:46.800
 that we

00:30:46.800 --> 00:30:47.220
 may

00:30:47.220 --> 00:30:47.780
 worship

00:30:47.780 --> 00:30:48.300
 him

00:30:48.300 --> 00:30:49.140
 as

00:30:49.140 --> 00:30:49.440
 king

00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:49.940
 of kings

00:30:49.940 --> 00:30:50.540
 and lord

00:30:50.540 --> 00:30:50.920
 of lords

00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:51.820
 every knee

00:30:51.820 --> 00:30:52.700
 bowing

00:30:52.700 --> 00:30:53.519
 every tongue

00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:54.100
 acknowledging

00:30:54.100 --> 00:30:54.740
 that Jesus

00:30:54.740 --> 00:30:55.200
 Christ

00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:55.840
 is lord

00:30:55.840 --> 00:30:56.180
 to the

00:30:56.180 --> 00:30:56.440
 glory

00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:56.720
 of God

00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:57.200
 the father

00:30:57.200 --> 00:30:57.900
 and that

00:30:57.900 --> 00:30:58.640
 second half

00:30:58.640 --> 00:30:59.039
 from verse

00:30:59.039 --> 00:30:59.340
 nine

00:30:59.340 --> 00:30:59.660
 down to

00:30:59.660 --> 00:30:59.840
 verse

00:30:59.840 --> 00:31:00.120
 eleven

00:31:00.120 --> 00:31:01.100
 picks up

00:31:01.100 --> 00:31:01.819
 old testament

00:31:01.819 --> 00:31:02.240
 images

00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:02.779
 of God

00:31:02.779 --> 00:31:03.039
 and his

00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:03.400
 greatness

00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:04.440
 and applies

00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:04.860
 them to

00:31:04.860 --> 00:31:05.200
 Jesus

00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:05.799
 in his

00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:06.299
 humanity

00:31:06.299 --> 00:31:07.200
 which is

00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:07.779
 a remarkable

00:31:07.779 --> 00:31:08.259
 thing

00:31:08.259 --> 00:31:09.180
 for Paul

00:31:09.180 --> 00:31:09.580
 to do

00:31:09.580 --> 00:31:12.000
 so let

00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:12.340
 me just

00:31:12.340 --> 00:31:13.039
 end with

00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:13.279
 this

00:31:13.279 --> 00:31:13.680
 and we

00:31:13.680 --> 00:31:14.000
 can talk

00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:14.380
 about this

00:31:14.380 --> 00:31:15.180
 in our

00:31:15.180 --> 00:31:15.460
 groups

00:31:15.460 --> 00:31:15.920
 just before

00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:16.480
 we finish

00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:17.740
 how is

00:31:17.740 --> 00:31:18.500
 the humble

00:31:18.500 --> 00:31:19.200
 greatness

00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:19.880
 of Jesus

00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:20.940
 good news

00:31:20.940 --> 00:31:22.019
 for us

00:31:22.019 --> 00:31:22.299
 as we

00:31:22.299 --> 00:31:22.740
 seek to

00:31:22.740 --> 00:31:23.180
 live like

00:31:23.180 --> 00:31:23.460
 him

00:31:23.460 --> 00:31:24.099
 this is

00:31:24.099 --> 00:31:24.759
 meant

00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:25.319
 I think

00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:25.639
 to be

00:31:25.639 --> 00:31:26.559
 an inspiration

00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:27.180
 for us

00:31:27.180 --> 00:31:27.599
 to have

00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:28.339
 this mindset

00:31:28.339 --> 00:31:29.379
 that Christ

00:31:29.379 --> 00:31:29.680
 Jesus

00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:30.180
 has

00:31:30.180 --> 00:31:31.259
 so how is

00:31:31.259 --> 00:31:31.899
 this humble

00:31:31.899 --> 00:31:32.539
 greatness of

00:31:32.539 --> 00:31:32.779
 Jesus

00:31:32.779 --> 00:31:33.399
 good news

00:31:33.399 --> 00:31:33.899
 for us

00:31:33.899 --> 00:31:34.619
 as we

00:31:34.619 --> 00:31:35.000
 try and

00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:35.339
 live for

00:31:35.339 --> 00:31:35.639
 him

00:31:35.639 --> 00:31:36.659
 how I

00:31:36.659 --> 00:31:37.039
 think

00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:37.799
 about that

00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:38.919
 anyone want

00:31:38.919 --> 00:31:39.419
 to share

00:31:39.419 --> 00:31:40.859
 their answer

00:31:40.859 --> 00:31:42.159
 or the answer

00:31:42.159 --> 00:31:42.859
 of the person

00:31:42.859 --> 00:31:43.159
 they were

00:31:43.159 --> 00:31:43.759
 talking with

00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:46.099
 say

00:31:46.099 --> 00:31:48.119
 Jesus

00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:49.719
 in his

00:31:49.719 --> 00:31:50.259
 humble

00:31:50.259 --> 00:31:50.799
 greatness

00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:52.619
 demonstrates

00:31:52.619 --> 00:31:53.059
 to us

00:31:53.059 --> 00:31:53.519
 and shows

00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:54.039
 us what

00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:54.759
 God is

00:31:54.759 --> 00:31:55.219
 like

00:31:55.219 --> 00:31:56.899
 and gives

00:31:56.899 --> 00:31:57.359
 us something

00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:57.679
 that we

00:31:57.679 --> 00:31:58.279
 could never

00:31:58.279 --> 00:31:58.679
 earn

00:31:58.679 --> 00:31:58.919
 right

00:31:58.919 --> 00:31:59.459
 he gives

00:31:59.459 --> 00:31:59.839
 us

00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:01.159
 salvation

00:32:01.159 --> 00:32:01.740
 a place

00:32:01.740 --> 00:32:02.339
 in glory

00:32:02.339 --> 00:32:02.799
 forgiveness

00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:03.459
 of sins

00:32:03.459 --> 00:32:04.359
 new life

00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:04.719
 by the

00:32:04.719 --> 00:32:05.199
 spirit

00:32:05.199 --> 00:32:06.519
 a hope

00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:07.079
 of future

00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:07.480
 glory

00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:08.279
 so he

00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:08.679
 gives us

00:32:08.679 --> 00:32:08.959
 that

00:32:08.959 --> 00:32:09.719
 and that

00:32:09.719 --> 00:32:10.339
 makes us

00:32:10.339 --> 00:32:10.839
 want to

00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:11.259
 serve

00:32:11.259 --> 00:32:11.779
 others

00:32:11.779 --> 00:32:13.500
 in humble

00:32:13.500 --> 00:32:14.200
 sacrificial

00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:14.700
 service

00:32:14.700 --> 00:32:15.039
 for their

00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:15.359
 eternal

00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:15.859
 well-being

00:32:15.859 --> 00:32:16.599
 but if we

00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:16.899
 do that

00:32:16.899 --> 00:32:17.339
 we will be

00:32:17.339 --> 00:32:17.660
 empty

00:32:17.660 --> 00:32:18.099
 so where

00:32:18.099 --> 00:32:18.299
 are we

00:32:18.299 --> 00:32:18.559
 going to

00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:18.720
 go

00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:19.079
 we're going

00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:19.359
 to go

00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:19.720
 to the

00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:20.099
 saviour

00:32:20.099 --> 00:32:20.299
 who

00:32:20.299 --> 00:32:20.740
 humbly

00:32:20.740 --> 00:32:21.160
 serves

00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:21.480
 us

00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:22.700
 for giving

00:32:22.700 --> 00:32:22.920
 us

00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:23.240
 what we

00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:23.660
 can't

00:32:23.660 --> 00:32:23.880
 earn

00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:24.359
 ourselves

00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:25.480
 in his

00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:25.980
 humble

00:32:25.980 --> 00:32:26.579
 sacrifice

00:32:26.579 --> 00:32:26.960
 for us

00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:27.640
 and as

00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:27.960
 we see

00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:28.480
 and experience

00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:28.880
 that it

00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:29.319
 makes us

00:32:29.319 --> 00:32:29.799
 want to

00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:30.140
 humbly

00:32:30.140 --> 00:32:30.480
 serve

00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:30.839
 others

00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:31.400
 even more

00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:31.779
 but where

00:32:31.779 --> 00:32:32.019
 are we

00:32:32.019 --> 00:32:32.279
 going to

00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:32.599
 go for

00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:32.720
 the

00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:33.079
 resources

00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:33.420
 to do

00:32:33.420 --> 00:32:33.559
 that

00:32:33.559 --> 00:32:33.759
 we're

00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:33.940
 going to

00:32:33.940 --> 00:32:34.099
 come

00:32:34.099 --> 00:32:34.279
 back

00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:34.420
 to

00:32:34.420 --> 00:32:34.720
 Christ

00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:34.880
 who

00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:35.200
 humbly

00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:35.519
 serves

00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:35.700
 us

00:32:35.700 --> 00:32:36.220
 which

00:32:36.220 --> 00:32:36.420
 sends

00:32:36.420 --> 00:32:36.559
 us

00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:36.980
 round

00:32:36.980 --> 00:32:37.420
 and round

00:32:37.420 --> 00:32:37.700
 and round

00:32:37.700 --> 00:32:37.980
 looking

00:32:37.980 --> 00:32:38.900
 perpetual

00:32:38.900 --> 00:32:39.339
 motion

00:32:39.339 --> 00:32:39.799
 as we

00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:40.599
 live for

00:32:40.599 --> 00:32:40.880
 Christ

00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:41.140
 and his

00:32:41.140 --> 00:32:41.500
 glory

00:32:41.500 --> 00:32:42.460
 it's

00:32:42.460 --> 00:32:42.859
 brilliant

00:32:42.859 --> 00:32:43.299
 news

00:32:43.299 --> 00:32:43.519
 isn't

00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:43.759
 it

00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:44.700
 it's

00:32:44.700 --> 00:32:45.000
 brilliant

00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:45.180
 news

00:32:45.180 --> 00:32:45.380
 because

00:32:45.380 --> 00:32:46.299
 Jesus

00:32:46.299 --> 00:32:47.759
 it's easy

00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:48.240
 I think

00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:48.700
 for people

00:32:48.700 --> 00:32:49.039
 in the world

00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:49.619
 to ask

00:32:49.619 --> 00:32:49.919
 you to

00:32:49.919 --> 00:32:50.319
 give up

00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:50.720
 stuff

00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:51.220
 and ask

00:32:51.220 --> 00:32:51.460
 you to

00:32:51.460 --> 00:32:52.059
 be humble

00:32:52.059 --> 00:32:52.899
 and say

00:32:52.899 --> 00:32:53.159
 that you

00:32:53.159 --> 00:32:53.399
 should be

00:32:53.399 --> 00:32:54.019
 self-effacing
