00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.020
 All of Acts 10 this morning.

00:00:01.860 --> 00:00:08.140
 So, kind of after talking to Nathan, it became pretty clear that really, it would be really hard to divide this up.

00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:10.259
! It would be best if we just preached all the way through it.

00:00:11.179 --> 00:00:15.560
 And as you look at the text, as you're glancing over it, you see that there's so much there.

00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:23.280
 And especially if you're familiar with the Bible, too, you know that there's a lot of the weeds there that you can really easily get lost in.

00:00:23.980 --> 00:00:27.660
 Because we're talking about some really, really complex topics this morning.

00:00:27.660 --> 00:00:35.960
 And there's probably about six little mini sermons in there that you really could use as a springboard to talk about so many different things.

00:00:36.060 --> 00:00:40.140
 So, how do you make just one concise sermon?

00:00:40.519 --> 00:00:43.579
 That's the thing that I've been praying about this week and that I've been thinking about in this morning is,

00:00:43.980 --> 00:00:46.240
 I want this to be clear. I want there to be clarity.

00:00:46.460 --> 00:00:52.519
 I want us to walk away with an understanding of the text and for us to be changed by the Lord.

00:00:52.520 --> 00:01:00.719
 As I was looking through some of the commentaries on this text, I came upon this quote by R.C. Spirrell.

00:01:02.220 --> 00:01:03.080
 So, he says,

00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:27.060
 So, now there's no pressure on me or any pressure on you.

00:01:27.060 --> 00:01:34.980
 We can kind of look at this text and discern what is God teaching the original people that were reading this text?

00:01:35.180 --> 00:01:37.439
 What is he teaching the people that were going through this story?

00:01:37.579 --> 00:01:39.420
 And then what is he teaching us right now?

00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.359
 Is that text relevant to our situation right now?

00:01:42.379 --> 00:01:44.760
 And I would say an overwhelming yes.

00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:53.240
 So, the way that I'm going to do this, I just, after looking through a lot of the commentaries and looking over this text,

00:01:53.500 --> 00:02:00.800
 there's not, I can't really present this sermon to you in this really clever way of this happened and this happened and this happened.

00:02:02.100 --> 00:02:05.020
 So, what I'm going to really do is I'm just going to walk through the text with you this morning.

00:02:05.580 --> 00:02:07.320
 I meant that, that I don't have clever bullet points.

00:02:08.540 --> 00:02:09.560
 I'm just not that clever.

00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:14.340
 But, the text is really powerful and so what we're going to do is we're going to walk through it together

00:02:14.340 --> 00:02:17.900
 and we're going to explain some of the things that God's doing here.

00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:22.719
 So, but the, kind of the theme, if you're taking notes,

00:02:23.259 --> 00:02:26.900
 the thing that I want you to be thinking about as we're going through this text together is

00:02:26.900 --> 00:02:30.879
 how does God relentlessly pursue sinners of every kind?

00:02:31.460 --> 00:02:32.780
 How does he do it in this text?

00:02:32.819 --> 00:02:34.400
 How has he been doing it in Acts?

00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:39.900
 How has he been doing that so far in the times that we've been talking as community groups?

00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:43.980
 So, how does God relentlessly pursue sinners of every kind?

00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:49.879
 So, with that, I do want to take a second and just pray and ask the Lord that he would give clarity,

00:02:50.020 --> 00:02:53.480
 that he would allow our hearts to understand this text.

00:02:53.580 --> 00:02:55.659
 If you've been bringing, whatever it is that you brought in,

00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.219
 whatever it is that you're about to leave and go towards this morning,

00:02:58.219 --> 00:03:04.860
 I believe that God has something to say to us from his text and that that is extremely relevant

00:03:04.860 --> 00:03:08.819
 and that we pay attention to that.

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:10.419
 So, let me just pray for us real quickly.

00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.939
 Heavenly Father, thank you so much for your word.

00:03:17.060 --> 00:03:21.759
 Thank you that we get to meet in public this morning without fear,

00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:31.259
 without shame, that God, the majority of the people in this room have a copy of your word.

00:03:31.679 --> 00:03:38.840
 And we know that those pages, these words have been fought over and then have died over these words.

00:03:39.780 --> 00:03:43.879
 And that you've preserved this text so that we can look at it, God.

00:03:43.979 --> 00:03:45.560
 This is not just another story.

00:03:45.659 --> 00:03:48.899
 This is not just another piece of wisdom literature.

00:03:48.900 --> 00:03:50.680
 But it is your word, Lord.

00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:52.000
 We believe it is from you.

00:03:53.980 --> 00:03:57.400
 So, Lord, would you speak to us through your text this morning?

00:03:59.340 --> 00:04:03.900
 God, the man or woman who feels alienated from you this morning, who feels hopeless,

00:04:04.200 --> 00:04:05.800
 God, would you bring them in?

00:04:06.200 --> 00:04:12.500
 Or would you make this message clear for those of us that have grown cold to the gospel,

00:04:12.620 --> 00:04:14.000
 have grown apathetic to it, Lord?

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:19.720
 I pray that you would wake our hearts up to it, God.

00:04:20.980 --> 00:04:21.819
 We love you.

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.560
 Please give me clarity as I preach this morning.

00:04:26.100 --> 00:04:32.439
 God, I just pray out with David that the words in my mouth and the meditations in my heart

00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.600
 would be pleasing and acceptable in your sight.

00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:36.920
 We ask this in your name.

00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:37.259
 Amen.

00:04:37.259 --> 00:04:38.259
 Okay.

00:04:39.579 --> 00:04:43.019
 So, what has God been doing so far in Acts?

00:04:43.019 --> 00:04:48.079
 I'm not going to spend 20 minutes going over that because we've been talking about it for the past couple of months.

00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:53.240
 But just to paint the picture so that we all understand what God has been doing.

00:04:53.379 --> 00:04:55.399
 Let's kind of look at it really, really quickly.

00:04:55.860 --> 00:05:00.439
 So, Jesus, before he's crucified, he promised the Holy Spirit.

00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:05.480
 He says, hey, it's better that I leave and that the Holy Spirit come than it would be for me to stay.

00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:10.020
 Which is kind of an insane statement because I know that if you've read that, you've kind of thought to yourself,

00:05:10.140 --> 00:05:12.740
 like, I would much rather have Jesus around here in the flesh.

00:05:14.460 --> 00:05:17.240
 But we learn, we soon learn why he says those things.

00:05:17.300 --> 00:05:17.980
 So, he says that.

00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:19.040
 He's crucified.

00:05:19.259 --> 00:05:19.819
 He's resurrected.

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:20.819
 And then he's ascended.

00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:26.240
 And then right after he ascends to heaven, there's this insane event that happens called Pentecost.

00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:27.980
 And that happens in Acts chapter 2.

00:05:29.660 --> 00:05:33.120
 Then after that, we see these massive conversions.

00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.660
 We see Acts chapter 2, verse 41.

00:05:36.860 --> 00:05:39.079
 We see, like, 3,000 people coming in one day.

00:05:39.459 --> 00:05:44.160
 We see Peter preach a sermon and 5,000 people come.

00:05:45.139 --> 00:05:48.600
 And we keep seeing the Lord add day after day to their number.

00:05:49.280 --> 00:05:53.100
 So, we see these massive conversions despite persecution, right?

00:05:53.139 --> 00:05:58.019
 Like, we've kind of started getting to that a little bit more as far as Stephen was persecuted.

00:05:58.240 --> 00:05:59.500
 But we still see the church growing.

00:05:59.500 --> 00:06:02.439
 And then we see these wonders and signs.

00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:04.300
 We see people being healed.

00:06:04.420 --> 00:06:06.139
 We see people being resurrected from the dead.

00:06:06.259 --> 00:06:09.139
 So, just imagine this picture if you're kind of in the early church.

00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:10.600
 Like, all these things that are happening.

00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:14.379
 You've seen, like, your world's kind of been changed over the past year or so.

00:06:14.379 --> 00:06:22.279
 So, and then the text that we talked about last week that Clay preached on, he talked about healing.

00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:30.639
 And this situation in Acts 9, verses 32 through the end about Peter healing someone and then raising someone from the dead.

00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:33.639
 So, if you haven't gotten a chance to listen to that sermon, I really, really recommend it.

00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:37.899
 Clay talks about, does God still heal today?

00:06:37.899 --> 00:06:39.719
 If he does, why does he?

00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:43.879
 And if he chooses not to heal in certain circumstances, why does he not?

00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.479
 So, I would really recommend going back and listening to that.

00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:53.679
 But if you've listened to all those things that I just talked about, 95% of those things really pertain to Jews only, right?

00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:57.000
 Pentecost, mostly Jews.

00:06:58.239 --> 00:07:01.219
 The massive conversions, we see Paul or Saul as Jewish.

00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:02.079
 We see all these things.

00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.919
 And the trend that's kind of going throughout them is Jews.

00:07:05.139 --> 00:07:07.039
 We do see Peter go to the Samaritans.

00:07:08.979 --> 00:07:13.199
 And the Samaritans are kind of, they're not quite Gentiles, but they're not quite Jews.

00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:14.139
 They're kind of in between.

00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:20.579
 So, with the exception of, does anyone know what would be the exception to that list?

00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:21.639
 Someone that wouldn't be a Jew.

00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:23.259
 The Ethiopian, right?

00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:26.839
 So, we had that story where the Ethiopian was converted.

00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:28.459
 And then he goes back.

00:07:28.860 --> 00:07:31.379
 That's kind of the catch point, is that he goes back to Ethiopia.

00:07:31.379 --> 00:07:34.639
 He doesn't stay with the church and fellowship with the church.

00:07:35.939 --> 00:07:40.800
 So, we see that 95% of the things that I just listed really pertains to Jews only.

00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:49.300
 So, let's pick it up in chapter 10 at verse 1 and see that this story, that narrative, that list is about to change.

00:07:50.719 --> 00:07:51.500
 Let me rip some more.

00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:55.459
 So, starting in verse 1.

00:07:55.459 --> 00:08:02.279
 At Caesarea, there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian cohort.

00:08:02.699 --> 00:08:08.560
 A devout man who feared God with all his household, gave alms generously to the people, and prayed continually to God.

00:08:09.379 --> 00:08:14.839
 About the ninth hour of the day, he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God come in and say to him,

00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:15.620
 Cornelius.

00:08:15.620 --> 00:08:19.100
 And he stared at him in terror and said, What is it, Lord?

00:08:19.899 --> 00:08:24.060
 And he said to him, Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God.

00:08:24.340 --> 00:08:27.639
 And now send men to Joppa and bring one Simon who is called Peter.

00:08:28.100 --> 00:08:31.740
 He is lodging with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.

00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:39.279
 When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those who attended him.

00:08:39.659 --> 00:08:42.399
 And having related everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:48.759
 So just as a pause there, we're going to get through the rest of the text, but I want to take a moment and kind of talk about who is this Cornelius guy.

00:08:50.439 --> 00:08:58.840
 Clay found a way to slip himself into my sermon, so I have to give him credit about what does it mean to be a Roman centurion of the Italian cohort.

00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:01.639
 And I say that because Clay is our history buff.

00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:06.220
 And so what does this mean for Cornelius to be Roman and the Italian cohort?

00:09:06.220 --> 00:09:11.259
 So it's most likely that he would be comparable to a captain in the Roman army.

00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:16.740
 And he is Roman with a capital R.

00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:18.220
 So think about that for a second.

00:09:18.299 --> 00:09:19.480
 He's from the Italian cohort.

00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.059
 That would mean that his origins are from Italy.

00:09:22.860 --> 00:09:33.919
 He's not someone who was kind of drafted into the Roman army because as the Roman army spans their reach, they're going to take over new lands, right?

00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:35.799
 And they're going to bring people into their army.

00:09:36.959 --> 00:09:42.419
 So, and but they would be considered Roman at that point, but they're not from Rome.

00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:45.899
 And so Cornelius is from Rome.

00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:49.479
 Okay, what are the other things that we see about him?

00:09:49.620 --> 00:09:51.099
 We see that he's a devout man.

00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.620
 In verse 2, he fears God with all his household.

00:09:55.620 --> 00:09:58.560
 He gave alms generously.

00:09:59.259 --> 00:10:00.340
 And he prays.

00:10:00.899 --> 00:10:03.379
 Okay, so this word you'll see in verse 2.

00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:06.220
 Look, it says a devout man who fears God.

00:10:06.500 --> 00:10:14.759
 That is actually a term, like a label, not just describing him necessarily with just a kind of a bunch of random adjectives.

00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:21.639
 So, there's a couple of labels that the Bible gives to different groups of people that are in this geographic area.

00:10:21.740 --> 00:10:22.480
 So, there's Jews.

00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:24.439
 There would be Gentiles.

00:10:24.860 --> 00:10:31.419
 There would be Samaritans, which we talked about earlier, which is kind of they, I don't know if this is an offensive term, but like half-breeds, you know what I mean?

00:10:31.659 --> 00:10:33.019
 Between Jews and Gentiles.

00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:36.799
 And then there were God-fears.

00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:43.980
 And God-fears were Gentiles who conformed to the Judaic law and the customs.

00:10:43.980 --> 00:10:58.279
 So, that means that Cornelius probably got to see all the gods of the Roman Empire and then decided that he most likely, or that he agreed with most of the Jewish God.

00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:09.300
 So, that meant that he worshipped God of the Torah and that he, but the only difference would be that he wasn't circumcised.

00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:10.360
 I'm sorry, I'm trying to say that right.

00:11:10.420 --> 00:11:12.240
 So, the only difference would be that he's not circumcised.

00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:13.399
 He worships God.

00:11:14.340 --> 00:11:15.419
 He gives alms.

00:11:15.500 --> 00:11:17.560
 We see that he's devout, but he's not circumcised.

00:11:19.620 --> 00:11:20.680
 And then he prays.

00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:25.680
 So, this is kind of a, this is a really good description of Cornelius, right?

00:11:25.700 --> 00:11:29.299
 Like, if you're reading this and you're looking at Cornelius, this is a good guy, right?

00:11:29.740 --> 00:11:30.680
 He does all those things.

00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.039
 Like, how many of you would like to be described in that way?

00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:34.320
 That's a good description.

00:11:34.460 --> 00:11:35.060
 You're devout.

00:11:35.220 --> 00:11:36.159
 You fear God.

00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:37.080
 You give alms.

00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:38.139
 You pray continuously.

00:11:38.139 --> 00:11:40.319
 And we find out that God hears his prayers.

00:11:40.439 --> 00:11:42.220
 So, Cornelius is a good guy.

00:11:44.340 --> 00:11:48.259
 But I want to ask the question, is Cornelius saved?

00:11:48.620 --> 00:11:49.500
 Is he forgiven?

00:11:50.939 --> 00:11:54.199
 Is he clean in the eyes of God?

00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:57.860
 I mean, and what do you say?

00:11:57.980 --> 00:11:59.879
 Like, he, there are all those things that we just listed.

00:11:59.980 --> 00:12:02.200
 He sounds like a really, really good guy.

00:12:02.259 --> 00:12:03.700
 Like, he does everything right.

00:12:04.920 --> 00:12:09.900
 And even, I can hear the objection of someone saying, wait, are you suggesting that he's not saved?

00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:11.420
 Like, look at all the things that he does.

00:12:11.520 --> 00:12:15.020
 Look, let's look at, or so what, are you saying that you're better than him?

00:12:15.060 --> 00:12:21.440
 Are you saying that Mother Teresa, if, with all the good things that she did, that if she didn't believe in Christ, that she's not saved?

00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:27.160
 This is the question that you're going to get when you talk to other people about the gospel.

00:12:28.460 --> 00:12:31.540
 Because Cornelius, on paper, looks like a really, really good guy.

00:12:34.520 --> 00:12:39.560
 But we learn that he is later on referred to as not saved.

00:12:40.680 --> 00:12:46.140
 And so that's the offense of the gospel that our, the offense of the gospel is that even our best works,

00:12:46.140 --> 00:12:51.360
 the things that we do that you might volunteer at the homeless shelter out of the goodness of your heart,

00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:55.900
 you might not cuss, you might not drink, you might not be as bad as someone else.

00:12:56.400 --> 00:13:03.020
 But the offense of the gospel is that our best deeds, our best things that we do, apart from God,

00:13:04.060 --> 00:13:06.220
 are like filthy rags before him.

00:13:06.420 --> 00:13:10.300
 That it doesn't matter, that God's not saying like, God's not impressed with Cornelius' record.

00:13:10.299 --> 00:13:15.319
 That in the eyes of God of being considered holy.

00:13:15.859 --> 00:13:18.199
 And I'm going to, I will say Cornelius is a good guy.

00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:19.419
 He's a moral guy.

00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:24.759
 But in terms of holiness, Cornelius is not.

00:13:26.659 --> 00:13:28.500
 And so you would say, how do you know that?

00:13:28.940 --> 00:13:34.039
 If you turn one page over to the left or to the right, you're going to see in verse 14,

00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:36.860
 Peter is later on recounting this story.

00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:43.259
 And this is a little bit of a giveaway, but he says in verse 13,

00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.559
 Peter's recounting this story of what I'm about to talk about with Cornelius.

00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:53.500
 And he says, and he told us how he had, how Cornelius had seen this angel stand in his house and say,

00:13:53.500 --> 00:13:56.620
 Send to Joppa and bring Simon, who is called Peter.

00:13:56.940 --> 00:14:01.120
 He will declare to you a message by which you will be saved, you and all your household.

00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:08.340
 So despite Cornelius' good-looking resume, he's not in the eyes of God forgiven.

00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:09.419
 He's not saved.

00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:10.679
 There's something missing.

00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:16.960
 So that tells us that to be righteous before God requires more than attending a church service.

00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:19.759
 It requires more than being a good person.

00:14:20.259 --> 00:14:23.440
 It requires more than giving your money away to the poor.

00:14:24.419 --> 00:14:26.720
 It requires more than even just praying to God.

00:14:26.940 --> 00:14:28.820
 That is a huge statement.

00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:33.620
 There's another problem with Cornelius.

00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:40.659
 Cornelius is a God-fear, but he is still a Gentile.

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:44.899
 In that he is unclean according to the Jewish law.

00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:48.580
 So, what do I mean by that?

00:14:48.820 --> 00:14:52.039
 Surely, if you know anything about Jewish traditions and Jewish customs,

00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:55.079
 you knew that they followed a very strict dietary law.

00:14:55.179 --> 00:14:59.779
 That's kind of the thing, the problem that Jesus keeps running into as he's talking to the Pharisees,

00:14:59.860 --> 00:15:04.779
 is these laws that they have that Moses set up in the Old Testament.

00:15:04.779 --> 00:15:13.199
 So, for reference, what I'm talking about there is specifically Leviticus 11 when it comes down to food.

00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:18.639
 So, in Leviticus 11, God is laying out this law to Moses,

00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:21.299
 and he's telling him all the foods that you can and cannot eat.

00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:24.039
 He says, hey, like, you can't eat a pig.

00:15:24.100 --> 00:15:25.579
 You can't eat a rock badger.

00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:29.279
 You can't eat the things that are crawling on the ground, swarming bees.

00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:33.559
 He lists off all of these different animals that they cannot eat.

00:15:34.179 --> 00:15:35.399
 So, they've got dietary laws.

00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:37.299
 The next thing is circumcision.

00:15:39.539 --> 00:15:42.539
 So, Cornelius is neither of those things.

00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:47.559
 So, in the eyes of the Jewish law, Cornelius is not clean.

00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:57.379
 Now, see, the Jews actually used these verses in Leviticus as justification

00:15:57.379 --> 00:16:00.459
 to put in bigger divide between them and the Gentiles,

00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:04.079
 just to kind of understand what's going on in that culture

00:16:04.079 --> 00:16:05.759
 and what that divide actually looks like.

00:16:05.839 --> 00:16:08.599
 I found a quote from a rabbi in the Talmud,

00:16:09.259 --> 00:16:14.219
 which is when we're talking about the Old Testament combined with rabbinic law,

00:16:14.220 --> 00:16:17.560
 which is things that they kind of added on to the Old Testament laws.

00:16:17.920 --> 00:16:21.300
 This rabbi said this about a Gentile.

00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:22.779
 He said,

00:16:22.899 --> 00:16:24.720
 When a Jew has a Gentile in his clutches,

00:16:25.300 --> 00:16:27.420
 another Jew may go to the same Gentile,

00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:29.860
 lend him money, and in turn deceive him,

00:16:29.920 --> 00:16:31.580
 so that the Gentile shall be ruined.

00:16:32.060 --> 00:16:35.500
 For the property of a Gentile, according to our law, belongs to no one.

00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.680
 And the first Jew that passes it has full right to seize it.

00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:43.399
 So, that's kind of the animosity and the divide that we're talking about here.

00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:45.500
 And is that from God? No.

00:16:46.539 --> 00:16:47.759
 I want to make that clear.

00:16:49.199 --> 00:16:52.939
 God sets up these dietary laws to set his people apart,

00:16:53.179 --> 00:16:55.299
 and the Jewish people ran with that even further

00:16:55.299 --> 00:16:57.459
 and came up with things like what I just said.

00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:01.899
 So, what's the point about the food?

00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:04.180
 Have you ever wondered about that?

00:17:04.259 --> 00:17:05.660
 Like, why did God say,

00:17:05.940 --> 00:17:07.759
 You can't eat these foods.

00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.000
 You must have your cloth of these different strands.

00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:11.900
 You can't have tattoos.

00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.819
 Like, all those Levitical laws,

00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:16.599
 not the Mosaic law,

00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:19.220
 not the laws of the Ten Commandments.

00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:20.660
 But, have you ever wondered,

00:17:20.779 --> 00:17:22.819
 What was the point of why God did all that?

00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:25.539
 And are those things still in place today?

00:17:27.619 --> 00:17:29.259
 And a lot of people would say,

00:17:29.339 --> 00:17:30.240
 It's for health reasons,

00:17:30.299 --> 00:17:32.180
 as far as circumcision and food goes.

00:17:32.619 --> 00:17:34.599
 And there might be some legitimacy to that.

00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:36.779
 But the bigger thing that I want you to get

00:17:36.779 --> 00:17:40.079
 is that God was setting his people apart.

00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:43.019
 So, turn with me to Leviticus 11,

00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:46.019
 just so you can kind of see with your own eyes.

00:17:46.019 --> 00:17:58.019
 And then look down at verse 43.

00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:06.960
 Okay.

00:18:07.379 --> 00:18:09.740
 So, what's the point of all these laws?

00:18:09.819 --> 00:18:10.740
 What's the point of all these rules?

00:18:10.879 --> 00:18:12.559
 And so, in Leviticus 11,

00:18:12.740 --> 00:18:15.200
 God very clearly points it out.

00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:15.980
 Okay, this is okay.

00:18:16.059 --> 00:18:16.700
 This is not okay.

00:18:16.819 --> 00:18:17.880
 Here's why this is not okay.

00:18:17.980 --> 00:18:18.640
 Here's this is okay.

00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:19.600
 This is not okay to eat.

00:18:19.980 --> 00:18:20.819
 So, he keeps going.

00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:21.940
 It's very, very specific.

00:18:22.299 --> 00:18:24.240
 And then in verse 43 of Leviticus 11,

00:18:24.900 --> 00:18:25.299
 it says,

00:18:25.660 --> 00:18:27.000
 You shall not make yourselves

00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:30.299
 detestable with any swarming thing that swarms,

00:18:30.539 --> 00:18:32.580
 and you shall not defile yourselves with them

00:18:32.580 --> 00:18:34.720
 and become unclean through them.

00:18:34.779 --> 00:18:35.180
 So, here it is.

00:18:35.220 --> 00:18:35.740
 Verse 44.

00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:37.519
 For I am the Lord your God.

00:18:38.140 --> 00:18:39.380
 Consecrate yourselves, therefore,

00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:41.480
 and be holy, for I am holy.

00:18:41.900 --> 00:18:43.539
 You shall not defile yourselves

00:18:43.539 --> 00:18:45.319
 with any swarming thing that crawls on the ground.

00:18:45.940 --> 00:18:47.859
 So, you get that 44 at the very beginning

00:18:47.859 --> 00:18:48.339
 where he says,

00:18:48.659 --> 00:18:48.859
 For.

00:18:49.259 --> 00:18:50.200
 So, it's basically like God's saying,

00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:51.259
 For this reason.

00:18:51.659 --> 00:18:53.159
 He just listed off all these animals,

00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:53.960
 and now God's saying,

00:18:54.500 --> 00:18:55.720
 Do you want to know why I'm saying this?

00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:56.339
 This is why.

00:18:56.399 --> 00:18:58.079
 I'm saying that you can be set apart

00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:00.000
 so that the other nations could look

00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:02.180
 at the nation of God in Israel

00:19:02.180 --> 00:19:04.700
 and see that they dressed differently,

00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:05.820
 that they ate differently,

00:19:06.140 --> 00:19:08.180
 that all their customs were different,

00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:09.880
 but those things were meant to be

00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:13.799
 a shadow of how God was making them holy

00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:15.120
 and set apart as a people.

00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:21.640
 So, this reflects to us something

00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:22.640
 about the nature of God,

00:19:22.700 --> 00:19:24.700
 that God has a concern for holiness.

00:19:24.840 --> 00:19:25.980
 These strict laws,

00:19:25.980 --> 00:19:28.319
 they point out to God how,

00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:29.160
 they point us out

00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:32.120
 how God has a big concern

00:19:32.120 --> 00:19:34.120
 about his people being set apart

00:19:34.120 --> 00:19:34.860
 and being different.

00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:37.940
 So, going back to Cornelius,

00:19:38.140 --> 00:19:39.940
 he is not those things.

00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:41.120
 He's not circumcised.

00:19:41.460 --> 00:19:43.099
 It's unlikely that he prescribed

00:19:43.099 --> 00:19:44.400
 to the Jewish dietary law.

00:19:44.500 --> 00:19:45.640
 So, if you are Peter,

00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:46.299
 if you're a Jew,

00:19:46.360 --> 00:19:47.880
 if you're looking at Cornelius,

00:19:48.740 --> 00:19:49.539
 let's just be honest,

00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:51.220
 even though he's got this good record,

00:19:51.700 --> 00:19:53.339
 he's unclean, right?

00:19:53.339 --> 00:19:55.859
 Like, he's not clean before God.

00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:00.639
 And that even came down to the fact

00:20:00.639 --> 00:20:02.019
 that, like, a Jew would not touch

00:20:02.019 --> 00:20:04.819
 the glass of a Gentile

00:20:04.819 --> 00:20:06.279
 after he had put it to his mouth

00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:06.959
 because it was then,

00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:07.419
 at that point,

00:20:07.500 --> 00:20:08.759
 considered unclean.

00:20:13.019 --> 00:20:15.019
 So, isn't Cornelius hopeless

00:20:15.019 --> 00:20:16.000
 in the eyes of a law?

00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:18.139
 Like, what hope is there for Cornelius?

00:20:19.059 --> 00:20:20.779
 What hope is there for this man

00:20:20.779 --> 00:20:22.019
 to be saved, to be forgiven?

00:20:23.339 --> 00:20:25.039
 Is there any hope for him?

00:20:25.379 --> 00:20:27.220
 In the eyes of a law or the Jew,

00:20:27.740 --> 00:20:28.859
 there's no hope for him, right?

00:20:29.740 --> 00:20:30.899
 There is this barrier

00:20:30.899 --> 00:20:32.559
 that's separating Cornelius

00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:34.019
 from being forgiven

00:20:34.019 --> 00:20:35.759
 and being a son of God.

00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:37.599
 And with that,

00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:39.099
 we need to talk about how

00:20:39.099 --> 00:20:40.500
 we're similar to Cornelius

00:20:40.500 --> 00:20:41.319
 in that same spot.

00:20:42.439 --> 00:20:43.819
 There is a barrier

00:20:43.819 --> 00:20:45.039
 between us and God.

00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:45.599
 The fact that

00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:47.539
 if you are in Christ right now,

00:20:47.619 --> 00:20:48.459
 at one point,

00:20:48.659 --> 00:20:50.599
 you were considered unclean.

00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:53.539
 You were considered unforgiven.

00:20:54.699 --> 00:20:56.839
 Or if you're not a believer today,

00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:58.339
 you stand in that spot

00:20:58.339 --> 00:21:00.959
 where God looks at us

00:21:00.959 --> 00:21:02.639
 and we're not clean before Him

00:21:02.639 --> 00:21:05.079
 because God's standard

00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:06.579
 is holiness and righteousness.

00:21:07.379 --> 00:21:08.079
 And Cornelius,

00:21:08.159 --> 00:21:09.619
 it doesn't matter how good he is,

00:21:09.639 --> 00:21:11.219
 he falls short of that record

00:21:11.219 --> 00:21:12.699
 because he's not.

00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:14.099
 He's not righteous

00:21:14.099 --> 00:21:15.059
 and he's not holy.

00:21:17.179 --> 00:21:18.119
 And Cornelius,

00:21:18.199 --> 00:21:18.679
 at this point,

00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:19.799
 in his own power,

00:21:19.919 --> 00:21:21.279
 he's hopeless to change.

00:21:22.779 --> 00:21:23.879
 How does the Bible

00:21:23.879 --> 00:21:25.500
 describe an unbeliever?

00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:26.519
 Think about it for a second.

00:21:26.619 --> 00:21:27.359
 Think about those verses

00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:28.299
 that you've thought about

00:21:28.299 --> 00:21:29.199
 where the Bible said,

00:21:29.259 --> 00:21:30.719
 hey, you were this at one point

00:21:30.719 --> 00:21:31.759
 before you were in Christ.

00:21:31.879 --> 00:21:33.759
 How does the Bible describe that?

00:21:34.219 --> 00:21:35.039
 Surely some of you

00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:36.839
 are thinking about Ephesians 2, right?

00:21:37.159 --> 00:21:37.579
 Where it says,

00:21:37.699 --> 00:21:38.500
 you were dead

00:21:38.500 --> 00:21:40.059
 in your transgressions and sins.

00:21:40.059 --> 00:21:42.940
 in the sins in which

00:21:42.940 --> 00:21:43.559
 you once walked,

00:21:43.659 --> 00:21:45.000
 following the course of this world,

00:21:45.460 --> 00:21:46.039
 following the prince

00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:47.119
 of the power of the air,

00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:48.899
 the spirit that is now at work

00:21:48.899 --> 00:21:50.240
 in the sons of disobedience,

00:21:50.619 --> 00:21:52.779
 among whom we all once lived

00:21:52.779 --> 00:21:54.940
 in the passions of our flesh,

00:21:55.019 --> 00:21:55.720
 carrying out the desires

00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:56.940
 of the body and the mind,

00:21:57.279 --> 00:21:57.940
 and were by nature

00:21:57.940 --> 00:21:58.879
 children of wrath

00:21:58.879 --> 00:21:59.740
 like the rest of mankind.

00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:01.559
 God describes us as dead.

00:22:01.879 --> 00:22:04.000
 So, a dead man can't get up

00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:05.399
 and change his behavior.

00:22:05.879 --> 00:22:07.299
 A dead man can't get up

00:22:07.299 --> 00:22:07.839
 to take a pill

00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:08.679
 to become healthier.

00:22:09.179 --> 00:22:10.019
 A dead man is dead.

00:22:10.059 --> 00:22:12.319
 So, what hope

00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:14.059
 is there for a dead man?

00:22:15.339 --> 00:22:17.279
 And maybe that's a state

00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:18.759
 that we need to remind ourselves of

00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:21.179
 is that for the unbeliever,

00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:22.859
 there is no hope

00:22:22.859 --> 00:22:23.740
 in and of yourself

00:22:23.740 --> 00:22:25.419
 to change.

00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:27.200
 Do you remember that time

00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:28.899
 when you were an unbeliever

00:22:28.899 --> 00:22:29.720
 or if you still are

00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:31.019
 where there was things

00:22:31.019 --> 00:22:31.960
 that you saw about your life

00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:32.839
 and you felt hopeless

00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:34.579
 to change those things entirely?

00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:36.179
 They seem too big.

00:22:37.139 --> 00:22:38.419
 Even as believers right now,

00:22:38.460 --> 00:22:39.639
 we still see some of those things

00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:40.120
 in our lives.

00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:40.420
 It's like,

00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:41.780
 I just can't overcome this sin.

00:22:41.900 --> 00:22:43.380
 I just can't get past this.

00:22:43.820 --> 00:22:44.720
 I've tried and I've tried

00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:45.080
 and I've tried

00:22:45.080 --> 00:22:46.020
 and I can't do it.

00:22:46.820 --> 00:22:48.200
 It makes me think of

00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:49.320
 the story that

00:22:49.320 --> 00:22:50.640
 when I worked,

00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:51.420
 I still worked there,

00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:52.740
 but I worked at a

00:22:52.740 --> 00:22:53.880
 drug and alcohol

00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:54.620
 treatment center.

00:22:54.900 --> 00:22:55.920
 It's a 30-day treatment center

00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:56.300
 where someone,

00:22:56.500 --> 00:22:57.140
 people fly in

00:22:57.140 --> 00:22:57.920
 all over the country

00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:00.420
 and people that are struggling

00:23:00.420 --> 00:23:01.779
 with different drugs

00:23:01.779 --> 00:23:02.800
 and alcohol come there.

00:23:02.860 --> 00:23:03.880
 They live there for 30 days

00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:04.840
 and then they kind of

00:23:04.840 --> 00:23:06.200
 go through a rehabilitation process

00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:07.019
 and then they leave.

00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:10.680
 And I remember working there

00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:12.519
 and listening to this story

00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:13.400
 about this one guy

00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:14.279
 who was kind of a little bit

00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:14.860
 of a troublemaker

00:23:14.860 --> 00:23:15.880
 and he wasn't necessarily

00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:17.140
 following all the rules

00:23:17.140 --> 00:23:18.759
 and he was kind of on the line

00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:19.600
 of whether he was going

00:23:19.600 --> 00:23:20.580
 to be allowed to stay

00:23:20.580 --> 00:23:21.759
 because the administration

00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:23.060
 can make decisions like,

00:23:23.059 --> 00:23:23.980
 hey, this guy's no good

00:23:23.980 --> 00:23:24.639
 for this program.

00:23:25.259 --> 00:23:25.980
 He needs to come back

00:23:25.980 --> 00:23:26.419
 when he's ready.

00:23:27.460 --> 00:23:29.359
 And I remember talking to him

00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:30.539
 and kind of like thinking,

00:23:30.940 --> 00:23:31.940
 maybe I can get a chance

00:23:31.940 --> 00:23:32.799
 to just talk to this guy

00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:33.700
 and just convince him like,

00:23:33.779 --> 00:23:34.099
 hey man,

00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:35.559
 this program's going to

00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:36.240
 save your life.

00:23:36.379 --> 00:23:37.720
 Like, you go back out

00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:38.299
 and you could,

00:23:38.859 --> 00:23:40.179
 this addiction could kill you.

00:23:40.980 --> 00:23:42.639
 And me just thinking,

00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:42.899
 all right,

00:23:42.940 --> 00:23:43.960
 maybe I can say something

00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:44.659
 to this guy.

00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:46.460
 And I remember him walking up

00:23:46.460 --> 00:23:47.460
 and I was talking to him

00:23:47.460 --> 00:23:48.440
 and I was asking him

00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:49.379
 how treatment was going

00:23:49.379 --> 00:23:49.859
 and I said,

00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:50.980
 what are you going to do

00:23:50.980 --> 00:23:51.480
 when you leave?

00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:52.119
 Are you going to go

00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:53.579
 to an intensive outpatient?

00:23:53.719 --> 00:23:54.399
 Are you going to go

00:23:54.399 --> 00:23:56.159
 to sober living?

00:23:56.239 --> 00:23:56.979
 Like, what are you going to do?

00:23:57.259 --> 00:23:58.000
 And the guy was like,

00:23:58.059 --> 00:23:59.219
 he looked at me in the eyes

00:23:59.219 --> 00:23:59.559
 and he said,

00:23:59.679 --> 00:24:00.279
 I'm going to go back

00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:00.679
 to drinking.

00:24:01.179 --> 00:24:01.839
 Are you kidding me?

00:24:01.859 --> 00:24:05.259
 Like, I know I have a problem

00:24:05.259 --> 00:24:07.319
 and I know I'm going to go

00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:08.279
 right back to the bottle

00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:09.219
 as soon as I leave.

00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:10.919
 So I'm just here

00:24:10.919 --> 00:24:11.639
 to do my time

00:24:11.639 --> 00:24:12.459
 and do this program

00:24:12.459 --> 00:24:12.959
 and leave.

00:24:13.719 --> 00:24:15.339
 And I remember like hearing that

00:24:15.339 --> 00:24:16.759
 and just the hopelessness

00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:18.919
 kind of sank in to my heart

00:24:18.919 --> 00:24:19.759
 and thinking about

00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:21.399
 what hope is for this guy.

00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:22.220
 He's pretty much

00:24:22.220 --> 00:24:23.540
 all but given up on this.

00:24:26.300 --> 00:24:27.580
 So how is God

00:24:27.580 --> 00:24:29.300
 going to relentlessly pursue

00:24:29.300 --> 00:24:31.240
 that attic at Black Bear?

00:24:31.360 --> 00:24:32.240
 How is God going to

00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:33.300
 relentlessly pursue

00:24:33.300 --> 00:24:34.680
 this guy Cornelius

00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:35.180
 who again,

00:24:35.940 --> 00:24:37.540
 though his best efforts

00:24:37.540 --> 00:24:38.620
 still fall short

00:24:38.620 --> 00:24:39.540
 of God's standard

00:24:39.540 --> 00:24:39.980
 of holiness

00:24:39.980 --> 00:24:40.600
 and righteousness.

00:24:41.740 --> 00:24:43.160
 How is God going

00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:44.680
 to relentlessly pursue you

00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:45.780
 if you might still be

00:24:45.780 --> 00:24:46.640
 living in your sin?

00:24:47.259 --> 00:24:48.259
 You might be not

00:24:48.259 --> 00:24:49.640
 as bad as the next guy

00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:52.779
 but your best actions

00:24:52.779 --> 00:24:54.039
 still fall short

00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:55.460
 of God's standard.

00:24:59.879 --> 00:25:01.619
 And then an even bigger question

00:25:01.619 --> 00:25:05.099
 is how is Jesus' commandment

00:25:05.099 --> 00:25:06.140
 at the very end?

00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:06.759
 What did he say

00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:07.240
 at the very end

00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:08.319
 of Matthew 28?

00:25:08.379 --> 00:25:08.640
 He says,

00:25:08.779 --> 00:25:09.960
 go and make disciples

00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:11.440
 of just Jews.

00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:12.879
 He says,

00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:13.559
 go and make disciples

00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:14.379
 of all nations.

00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:15.399
 So how is that

00:25:15.399 --> 00:25:16.059
 going to happen

00:25:16.059 --> 00:25:18.279
 when there's this divide

00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:19.799
 when Cornelius

00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:20.679
 is unclean

00:25:20.679 --> 00:25:21.779
 in the eyes of the law

00:25:21.779 --> 00:25:22.240
 and the Jews?

00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:22.940
 So let's pick it up

00:25:22.940 --> 00:25:24.039
 back in verse 9.

00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:29.099
 The next day

00:25:29.099 --> 00:25:30.359
 as they were on their journey

00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:31.859
 and approaching the city

00:25:31.859 --> 00:25:32.879
 Peter went up

00:25:32.879 --> 00:25:33.779
 on the housetop

00:25:33.779 --> 00:25:34.920
 about the sixth hour

00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:35.359
 to pray

00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:36.859
 and he became hungry

00:25:36.859 --> 00:25:38.000
 and wanted something to eat

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:39.740
 but while they were preparing it

00:25:39.740 --> 00:25:41.059
 he fell into a trance

00:25:41.059 --> 00:25:42.700
 and saw the heavens opened

00:25:42.700 --> 00:25:44.039
 and something like

00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:45.180
 a great sheet descending

00:25:45.180 --> 00:25:46.579
 being let down

00:25:46.579 --> 00:25:47.480
 by its four corners

00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:48.220
 upon the earth.

00:25:49.180 --> 00:25:50.099
 In it were all kinds

00:25:50.099 --> 00:25:50.500
 of animals

00:25:50.500 --> 00:25:51.059
 and reptiles

00:25:51.059 --> 00:25:51.960
 and birds of the air

00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:52.619
 and there came

00:25:52.619 --> 00:25:53.619
 a voice to him

00:25:53.619 --> 00:25:55.199
 rise Peter

00:25:55.199 --> 00:25:56.319
 kill and eat.

00:25:57.459 --> 00:25:58.079
 But Peter said

00:25:58.079 --> 00:25:59.219
 by no means Lord

00:25:59.219 --> 00:26:00.159
 for I have never eaten

00:26:00.159 --> 00:26:01.739
 anything that is common

00:26:01.739 --> 00:26:02.579
 or unclean.

00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:04.659
 And the voice came to him

00:26:04.659 --> 00:26:05.439
 again a second time

00:26:05.439 --> 00:26:06.779
 what God has made clean

00:26:06.779 --> 00:26:08.479
 do not call common.

00:26:09.099 --> 00:26:10.239
 This happened three times

00:26:10.239 --> 00:26:11.319
 and the thing was taken up

00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:12.339
 at once to heaven.

00:26:13.159 --> 00:26:13.799
 Now while Peter

00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:15.079
 was inwardly perplexed

00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:15.979
 as to what the vision

00:26:15.979 --> 00:26:17.799
 that he had seen

00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:18.579
 might mean

00:26:18.579 --> 00:26:19.779
 behold the men

00:26:19.779 --> 00:26:20.559
 who were sent

00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:21.479
 by Cornelius

00:26:21.479 --> 00:26:23.059
 having made inquiry

00:26:23.059 --> 00:26:24.159
 for Simon's house

00:26:24.159 --> 00:26:25.099
 stood at the gate

00:26:25.099 --> 00:26:25.940
 and called out

00:26:25.940 --> 00:26:26.519
 to ask

00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:27.440
 whether Simon

00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:28.039
 who was called

00:26:28.039 --> 00:26:28.519
 Peter

00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:29.740
 was lodging there.

00:26:30.700 --> 00:26:31.279
 And while Peter

00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:32.279
 was pondering the vision

00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:33.519
 the spirit said to him

00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:34.139
 behold

00:26:34.139 --> 00:26:35.059
 three men

00:26:35.059 --> 00:26:35.980
 are looking for you

00:26:35.980 --> 00:26:36.599
 rise

00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:37.500
 and go down

00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:38.779
 and accompany them

00:26:38.779 --> 00:26:39.559
 without hesitation

00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:40.779
 for I have sent them.

00:26:41.399 --> 00:26:42.099
 And Peter went down

00:26:42.099 --> 00:26:42.579
 to the men

00:26:42.579 --> 00:26:42.960
 and said

00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:43.859
 I'm the one

00:26:43.859 --> 00:26:44.639
 you are looking for

00:26:44.639 --> 00:26:45.639
 what is the reason

00:26:45.639 --> 00:26:46.240
 for your coming?

00:26:46.599 --> 00:26:46.980
 And they said

00:26:46.980 --> 00:26:47.599
 Cornelius

00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:48.299
 a centurion

00:26:48.299 --> 00:26:48.859
 an upright

00:26:48.859 --> 00:26:50.059
 and God-fearing man

00:26:50.059 --> 00:26:51.240
 who is well spoken

00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:51.940
 of by the whole

00:26:51.940 --> 00:26:52.960
 Jewish nation

00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:53.919
 was directed

00:26:53.919 --> 00:26:54.879
 by a holy angel

00:26:54.879 --> 00:26:55.619
 to send for you

00:26:55.619 --> 00:26:56.700
 to come to his house

00:26:56.700 --> 00:26:57.799
 and hear what you

00:26:57.799 --> 00:26:58.319
 have to say.

00:26:59.319 --> 00:27:00.500
 So he invited them

00:27:00.500 --> 00:27:01.559
 to be his guests.

00:27:02.679 --> 00:27:03.240
 The next day

00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:03.619
 he rose

00:27:03.619 --> 00:27:04.200
 and went away

00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:04.519
 with them

00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:05.779
 and some of the brothers

00:27:05.779 --> 00:27:06.639
 from Joppa

00:27:06.639 --> 00:27:07.559
 accompanied him

00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:08.919
 and on the following day

00:27:08.919 --> 00:27:09.839
 they entered Caesarea.

00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:11.819
 Cornelius was expecting them

00:27:11.819 --> 00:27:12.980
 and had called together

00:27:12.980 --> 00:27:13.720
 his relatives

00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:14.639
 and close friends.

00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:16.240
 When Peter entered

00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:17.139
 Cornelius met him

00:27:17.139 --> 00:27:17.700
 and fell down

00:27:17.700 --> 00:27:18.220
 at his feet

00:27:18.220 --> 00:27:19.039
 and worshipped him.

00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:21.339
 But Peter lifted him up

00:27:21.339 --> 00:27:21.859
 saying

00:27:21.859 --> 00:27:22.379
 stand up

00:27:22.379 --> 00:27:23.599
 I too am a man

00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:24.839
 and as he talked

00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:25.159
 with him

00:27:25.159 --> 00:27:25.700
 he went in

00:27:25.700 --> 00:27:26.180
 and found

00:27:26.180 --> 00:27:27.480
 many persons gathered

00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:28.599
 and he said to them

00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:29.500
 you yourselves

00:27:29.500 --> 00:27:30.700
 know how unlawful

00:27:30.700 --> 00:27:31.700
 it is for a Jew

00:27:31.700 --> 00:27:32.740
 to associate with

00:27:32.740 --> 00:27:33.839
 or to visit anyone

00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:35.700
 of another nation

00:27:35.700 --> 00:27:37.420
 but God

00:27:37.420 --> 00:27:38.159
 has shown me

00:27:38.159 --> 00:27:39.059
 that I should not

00:27:39.059 --> 00:27:39.920
 call any person

00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:41.220
 common or unclean

00:27:41.220 --> 00:27:43.139
 so when I was sent for

00:27:43.139 --> 00:27:44.159
 I came without objection

00:27:44.159 --> 00:27:45.539
 I asked them

00:27:45.539 --> 00:27:46.680
 why you sent for me

00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:48.519
 and Cornelius said

00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:49.619
 four days ago

00:27:49.619 --> 00:27:50.319
 about this hour

00:27:50.319 --> 00:27:51.440
 I was praying in my house

00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:52.299
 at the ninth hour

00:27:52.299 --> 00:27:53.139
 and behold

00:27:53.139 --> 00:27:54.359
 a man stood before me

00:27:54.359 --> 00:27:55.099
 in bright clothing

00:27:55.099 --> 00:27:55.519
 and said

00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:57.039
 Cornelius your prayer

00:27:57.039 --> 00:27:58.319
 has been heard

00:27:58.319 --> 00:27:59.059
 and your alms

00:27:59.059 --> 00:27:59.639
 have been remembered

00:27:59.639 --> 00:28:00.500
 before God

00:28:00.500 --> 00:28:01.680
 send therefore

00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:02.180
 to Joppa

00:28:02.180 --> 00:28:03.119
 and ask for Simon

00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:04.079
 who is called Peter

00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:05.420
 he is lodging

00:28:05.420 --> 00:28:05.900
 in the house

00:28:05.900 --> 00:28:06.900
 of Simon a tanner

00:28:06.900 --> 00:28:07.539
 by the sea

00:28:07.539 --> 00:28:08.980
 so I sent for you

00:28:08.980 --> 00:28:09.440
 at once

00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:09.980
 and you have been

00:28:09.980 --> 00:28:10.839
 kind enough to come

00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:11.680
 now therefore

00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:12.480
 we are all here

00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:13.379
 in the presence of God

00:28:13.379 --> 00:28:14.599
 to hear all that you

00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:15.160
 have been commanded

00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:15.820
 by the Lord

00:28:15.820 --> 00:28:17.600
 okay

00:28:17.600 --> 00:28:18.420
 so

00:28:18.420 --> 00:28:19.779
 real quick

00:28:19.779 --> 00:28:20.220
 let's look at

00:28:20.220 --> 00:28:21.500
 Peter's first response

00:28:21.500 --> 00:28:22.340
 what does he say

00:28:22.340 --> 00:28:23.279
 he says

00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:24.420
 so he has this vision

00:28:24.420 --> 00:28:25.860
 these sheets come down

00:28:25.860 --> 00:28:26.700
 all animals

00:28:26.700 --> 00:28:27.460
 of every kind

00:28:27.460 --> 00:28:27.960
 come down

00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:28.580
 and it says

00:28:28.580 --> 00:28:28.960
 rise

00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:29.880
 kill and eat Peter

00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:31.300
 and his first response

00:28:31.300 --> 00:28:33.000
 is by no means Lord

00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:33.840
 so

00:28:33.840 --> 00:28:35.259
 let's not jump

00:28:35.259 --> 00:28:35.860
 on Peter

00:28:35.860 --> 00:28:36.640
 too quickly

00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:37.900
 and say

00:28:37.900 --> 00:28:38.400
 like hey

00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:39.640
 how dare you

00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:40.480
 respond to God

00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:41.019
 like that

00:28:41.019 --> 00:28:41.860
 Peter's response

00:28:41.860 --> 00:28:42.320
 is actually

00:28:42.320 --> 00:28:42.860
 really similar

00:28:42.859 --> 00:28:43.559
 to the prophet

00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:44.039
 Daniel

00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:44.479
 if you think

00:28:44.479 --> 00:28:44.859
 about it

00:28:44.859 --> 00:28:46.619
 he objected

00:28:46.619 --> 00:28:47.319
 to the dietary

00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:48.479
 he objected

00:28:48.479 --> 00:28:48.879
 to the food

00:28:48.879 --> 00:28:50.079
 that he was being

00:28:50.079 --> 00:28:50.719
 served and said

00:28:50.719 --> 00:28:51.240
 no I have to

00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:52.259
 observe my customs

00:28:52.259 --> 00:28:53.419
 because this food

00:28:53.419 --> 00:28:53.979
 that you're feeding

00:28:53.979 --> 00:28:54.740
 me here in Babylon

00:28:54.740 --> 00:28:55.559
 is unclean

00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:59.139
 but it's interesting

00:28:59.139 --> 00:28:59.339
 though

00:28:59.339 --> 00:29:00.199
 like you and I

00:29:00.199 --> 00:29:01.039
 have read the rest

00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:01.439
 of the story

00:29:01.439 --> 00:29:02.539
 we know what's coming

00:29:02.539 --> 00:29:03.619
 we know that God's

00:29:03.619 --> 00:29:04.419
 not just talking

00:29:04.419 --> 00:29:05.059
 about food

00:29:05.059 --> 00:29:05.339
 right

00:29:05.339 --> 00:29:07.119
 we know that God

00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:08.519
 wasn't just

00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:09.539
 taking bacon off

00:29:09.539 --> 00:29:10.500
 the list of things

00:29:10.500 --> 00:29:11.039
 not to eat

00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:14.920
 but Peter

00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:15.559
 if you think

00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:16.259
 so Peter had

00:29:16.259 --> 00:29:17.240
 been with Jesus

00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:18.859
 he had been with

00:29:18.859 --> 00:29:19.899
 the resurrected Jesus

00:29:19.899 --> 00:29:21.220
 he had seen

00:29:21.220 --> 00:29:22.279
 Pentecost come

00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:23.539
 he had been

00:29:23.539 --> 00:29:24.079
 preaching to

00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:24.799
 Samaritans

00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:27.119
 he had probably

00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:27.899
 heard the story

00:29:27.899 --> 00:29:28.700
 about the Ethiopian

00:29:28.700 --> 00:29:29.019
 eunuch

00:29:29.019 --> 00:29:29.200
 right

00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:30.139
 like he's probably

00:29:30.139 --> 00:29:30.940
 heard all these

00:29:30.940 --> 00:29:31.460
 things but he

00:29:31.460 --> 00:29:32.299
 still doesn't

00:29:32.299 --> 00:29:32.839
 get it

00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:34.159
 he still doesn't

00:29:34.159 --> 00:29:34.680
 get that

00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:35.700
 that through

00:29:35.700 --> 00:29:36.339
 Christ's work

00:29:36.339 --> 00:29:36.899
 that divide

00:29:36.899 --> 00:29:37.420
 is gone

00:29:37.420 --> 00:29:38.039
 that now

00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:39.579
 the only thing

00:29:39.579 --> 00:29:40.619
 that makes us

00:29:40.619 --> 00:29:41.619
 clean or unclean

00:29:41.619 --> 00:29:42.339
 in God's sight

00:29:42.339 --> 00:29:43.019
 is whether we

00:29:43.019 --> 00:29:43.559
 have believing

00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:44.159
 faith

00:29:44.159 --> 00:29:45.359
 in Jesus

00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:46.579
 he still doesn't

00:29:46.579 --> 00:29:46.940
 get it

00:29:46.940 --> 00:29:47.279
 isn't that

00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:47.599
 interesting

00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:48.579
 like this is

00:29:48.579 --> 00:29:49.139
 a thick-headed

00:29:49.139 --> 00:29:49.539
 dude

00:29:49.539 --> 00:29:51.019
 but everyone

00:29:51.019 --> 00:29:51.579
 else is probably

00:29:51.579 --> 00:29:51.980
 like that

00:29:51.980 --> 00:29:52.420
 in that same

00:29:52.420 --> 00:29:52.759
 spot

00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:53.720
 we see that

00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:54.059
 because of

00:29:54.059 --> 00:29:54.559
 all the other

00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:55.139
 responses

00:29:55.139 --> 00:29:56.139
 Peter had been

00:29:56.139 --> 00:29:56.379
 with the

00:29:56.379 --> 00:29:57.279
 resurrected Jesus

00:29:57.279 --> 00:29:58.220
 but he still

00:29:58.220 --> 00:29:59.059
 didn't get it

00:29:59.059 --> 00:30:01.920
 so what

00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:02.680
 changed

00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:03.799
 why is it

00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:04.259
 that God

00:30:04.259 --> 00:30:05.779
 is saying

00:30:05.779 --> 00:30:06.279
 hey you can

00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:07.099
 eat all these

00:30:07.099 --> 00:30:07.519
 foods now

00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:07.939
 doesn't that

00:30:07.939 --> 00:30:08.740
 seem a little

00:30:08.740 --> 00:30:09.539
 bit like God

00:30:09.539 --> 00:30:10.500
 is flip-flopping

00:30:10.500 --> 00:30:11.359
 right

00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:11.939
 doesn't it

00:30:11.939 --> 00:30:12.339
 seem a little

00:30:12.339 --> 00:30:12.899
 bit like that

00:30:12.899 --> 00:30:13.240
 doesn't it

00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:13.759
 seem like God's

00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:14.240
 changing his

00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:14.799
 mind

00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:17.779
 so I would

00:30:17.779 --> 00:30:18.319
 say no

00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:19.519
 and here's

00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:19.779
 why

00:30:19.779 --> 00:30:21.199
 you know

00:30:21.199 --> 00:30:22.159
 he said yes

00:30:22.159 --> 00:30:22.519
 and that's the

00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:22.699
 end of the

00:30:22.699 --> 00:30:22.879
 sermon

00:30:22.879 --> 00:30:24.959
 but no

00:30:24.959 --> 00:30:25.219
 so

00:30:25.219 --> 00:30:26.159
 so what

00:30:26.159 --> 00:30:26.839
 changed

00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:27.939
 obviously

00:30:27.939 --> 00:30:28.299
 something

00:30:28.299 --> 00:30:28.599
 changed

00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:29.139
 so let me

00:30:29.139 --> 00:30:29.799
 just as a

00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:30.279
 little example

00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:30.719
 so let's

00:30:30.719 --> 00:30:31.139
 say there

00:30:31.139 --> 00:30:31.659
 is a father

00:30:31.659 --> 00:30:32.099
 who has a

00:30:32.099 --> 00:30:32.659
 five-year-old

00:30:32.659 --> 00:30:33.000
 son

00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:34.819
 and his son

00:30:34.819 --> 00:30:35.119
 is standing

00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:35.719
 on a cross

00:30:35.719 --> 00:30:36.139
 from the

00:30:36.139 --> 00:30:36.419
 street

00:30:36.420 --> 00:30:36.960
 and it's

00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:37.279
 a busy

00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:37.779
 intersection

00:30:37.779 --> 00:30:39.360
 and his son

00:30:39.360 --> 00:30:39.779
 is about to

00:30:39.779 --> 00:30:40.259
 cross the

00:30:40.259 --> 00:30:40.440
 street

00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:41.000
 and his father

00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:41.820
 says don't

00:30:41.820 --> 00:30:42.240
 know don't

00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:42.519
 cross

00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:43.000
 why because

00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:43.380
 he's five

00:30:43.380 --> 00:30:43.779
 years old

00:30:43.779 --> 00:30:44.100
 and that would

00:30:44.100 --> 00:30:44.700
 be irresponsible

00:30:44.700 --> 00:30:45.380
 of his dad

00:30:45.380 --> 00:30:46.340
 to just let

00:30:46.340 --> 00:30:47.200
 his son cross

00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:47.620
 this really

00:30:47.620 --> 00:30:48.320
 busy intersection

00:30:48.320 --> 00:30:50.000
 okay so

00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:50.700
 then let's

00:30:50.700 --> 00:30:51.560
 go forward

00:30:51.560 --> 00:30:52.300
 ten years

00:30:52.300 --> 00:30:53.480
 and now his

00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:54.140
 son is 15

00:30:54.140 --> 00:30:54.800
 and he's

00:30:54.800 --> 00:30:55.320
 standing across

00:30:55.320 --> 00:30:55.580
 the other

00:30:55.580 --> 00:30:55.920
 side of the

00:30:55.920 --> 00:30:56.220
 street and

00:30:56.220 --> 00:30:56.740
 his son and

00:30:56.740 --> 00:30:57.279
 his dad says

00:30:57.279 --> 00:30:57.759
 hey like come

00:30:57.759 --> 00:30:58.180
 on over to

00:30:58.180 --> 00:30:58.500
 me now

00:30:58.500 --> 00:31:00.640
 and so then

00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:00.900
 the son

00:31:00.900 --> 00:31:01.539
 crosses the

00:31:01.539 --> 00:31:02.400
 busy intersection

00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:04.000
 did the

00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:04.960
 father flip

00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:05.240
 flop

00:31:05.240 --> 00:31:06.280
 no you

00:31:06.280 --> 00:31:06.540
 would just

00:31:06.540 --> 00:31:06.960
 say the

00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:07.480
 situation

00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:08.160
 changed

00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:09.019
 the son

00:31:09.019 --> 00:31:09.680
 grew up

00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:10.920
 things have

00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:11.180
 changed

00:31:11.180 --> 00:31:11.460
 things are

00:31:11.460 --> 00:31:12.340
 different now

00:31:12.340 --> 00:31:13.200
 and so now

00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:13.780
 it is appropriate

00:31:13.780 --> 00:31:14.360
 for his son

00:31:14.360 --> 00:31:14.880
 to cross the

00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:15.100
 street

00:31:15.100 --> 00:31:16.000
 in a similar

00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:16.500
 way

00:31:16.500 --> 00:31:21.060
 God is not

00:31:21.060 --> 00:31:21.660
 changing his

00:31:21.660 --> 00:31:22.860
 mind but the

00:31:22.860 --> 00:31:23.560
 fulfillment of

00:31:23.560 --> 00:31:24.100
 the law has

00:31:24.100 --> 00:31:25.240
 come and

00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:25.620
 things have

00:31:25.620 --> 00:31:26.000
 changed

00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:28.000
 so if you

00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:28.480
 have your

00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:29.180
 ESV Bible

00:31:29.180 --> 00:31:29.980
 look at

00:31:29.980 --> 00:31:30.700
 verse 15

00:31:30.700 --> 00:31:32.859
 so it says

00:31:32.859 --> 00:31:33.339
 and the voice

00:31:33.339 --> 00:31:34.380
 came to him

00:31:34.380 --> 00:31:35.240
 a second time

00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:36.200
 what God has

00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:36.799
 made clean

00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:37.539
 do not call

00:31:37.539 --> 00:31:38.019
 common

00:31:38.019 --> 00:31:39.640
 so we're

00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:40.180
 actually kind

00:31:40.180 --> 00:31:40.480
 of at a

00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:41.099
 loss for our

00:31:41.099 --> 00:31:42.140
 ESV translation

00:31:42.140 --> 00:31:43.380
 the NASB

00:31:43.380 --> 00:31:45.059
 renders this

00:31:45.059 --> 00:31:46.359
 what God

00:31:46.359 --> 00:31:47.519
 has cleansed

00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:48.380
 no longer

00:31:48.380 --> 00:31:49.880
 call unclean

00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:52.099
 so God

00:31:52.099 --> 00:31:52.940
 is changing

00:31:52.940 --> 00:31:53.240
 things

00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:53.759
 did he change

00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:54.180
 it right at

00:31:54.180 --> 00:31:54.700
 that moment

00:31:54.700 --> 00:31:55.119
 no

00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:56.339
 the truth

00:31:56.339 --> 00:31:56.859
 is that

00:31:56.859 --> 00:31:57.679
 he changed

00:31:57.679 --> 00:31:57.959
 it with

00:31:57.959 --> 00:31:58.379
 Jesus

00:31:58.379 --> 00:32:00.719
 and the

00:32:00.719 --> 00:32:00.959
 thing is

00:32:00.959 --> 00:32:01.219
 that we

00:32:01.219 --> 00:32:01.399
 can

00:32:01.399 --> 00:32:01.899
 if you're

00:32:01.899 --> 00:32:02.159
 really

00:32:02.159 --> 00:32:02.939
 thinking

00:32:02.939 --> 00:32:03.339
 about it

00:32:03.339 --> 00:32:03.639
 Jesus

00:32:03.639 --> 00:32:04.219
 was saying

00:32:04.219 --> 00:32:04.579
 this the

00:32:04.579 --> 00:32:05.119
 whole time

00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:06.959
 flip over

00:32:06.959 --> 00:32:07.359
 to Mark

00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:08.879
 starting in

00:32:08.879 --> 00:32:09.379
 chapter 2

00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:26.119
 chapter 2

00:32:26.119 --> 00:32:27.379
 okay so

00:32:27.379 --> 00:32:28.899
 the point

00:32:28.899 --> 00:32:29.119
 that I'm

00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:29.500
 getting at

00:32:29.500 --> 00:32:29.719
 in this

00:32:29.719 --> 00:32:30.099
 text is

00:32:30.099 --> 00:32:30.319
 that I'm

00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:30.699
 saying that

00:32:30.699 --> 00:32:31.500
 it kind

00:32:31.500 --> 00:32:31.959
 of appears

00:32:31.959 --> 00:32:32.179
 a little

00:32:32.179 --> 00:32:32.479
 bit like

00:32:32.479 --> 00:32:33.179
 Jesus is

00:32:33.179 --> 00:32:34.479
 disregarding

00:32:34.479 --> 00:32:34.759
 a lot

00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:35.039
 of laws

00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:35.439
 like that's

00:32:35.439 --> 00:32:35.679
 kind of

00:32:35.679 --> 00:32:36.299
 what is

00:32:36.299 --> 00:32:36.739
 the friction

00:32:36.739 --> 00:32:37.259
 between him

00:32:37.259 --> 00:32:37.500
 and the

00:32:37.500 --> 00:32:37.839
 Pharisees

00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:38.119
 a lot

00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:38.279
 of the

00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:38.639
 times

00:32:38.639 --> 00:32:41.359
 so we're

00:32:41.359 --> 00:32:41.599
 not going

00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:41.919
 to read

00:32:41.919 --> 00:32:42.199
 all these

00:32:42.199 --> 00:32:42.379
 verses

00:32:42.379 --> 00:32:42.639
 but I'm

00:32:42.639 --> 00:32:42.859
 just going

00:32:42.859 --> 00:32:43.139
 to have

00:32:43.139 --> 00:32:43.359
 you

00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:44.259
 follow me

00:32:44.259 --> 00:32:44.419
 here

00:32:44.419 --> 00:32:44.679
 so

00:32:44.679 --> 00:32:45.659
 this

00:32:45.659 --> 00:32:46.659
 in chapter

00:32:46.659 --> 00:32:46.939
 2

00:32:46.939 --> 00:32:47.159
 at the

00:32:47.159 --> 00:32:47.479
 very end

00:32:47.479 --> 00:32:48.039
 of 23

00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:49.819
 he's

00:32:49.819 --> 00:32:50.019
 going

00:32:50.019 --> 00:32:50.319
 through

00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:50.799
 and his

00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:51.079
 disciples

00:32:51.079 --> 00:32:51.519
 are walking

00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:51.879
 through a

00:32:51.879 --> 00:32:52.219
 grain field

00:32:52.219 --> 00:32:52.579
 and they're

00:32:52.579 --> 00:32:53.719
 picking grain

00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:54.240
 and they're

00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:54.799
 eating it

00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:55.660
 and the

00:32:55.660 --> 00:32:55.980
 Pharisees

00:32:55.980 --> 00:32:56.259
 have an

00:32:56.259 --> 00:32:56.500
 issue

00:32:56.500 --> 00:32:57.019
 with that

00:32:57.019 --> 00:32:57.620
 and they're

00:32:57.620 --> 00:32:57.920
 like why

00:32:57.920 --> 00:32:58.160
 are you

00:32:58.160 --> 00:32:58.740
 guys eating

00:32:58.740 --> 00:32:59.039
 on the

00:32:59.039 --> 00:32:59.200
 Sabbath

00:32:59.200 --> 00:32:59.559
 they had

00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:00.200
 very strict

00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:00.880
 rules

00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:01.620
 about what

00:33:01.620 --> 00:33:01.940
 you could

00:33:01.940 --> 00:33:02.220
 and could

00:33:02.220 --> 00:33:02.559
 not do

00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:02.759
 on the

00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:02.900
 Sabbath

00:33:02.900 --> 00:33:03.380
 how far

00:33:03.380 --> 00:33:03.720
 you could

00:33:03.720 --> 00:33:04.140
 walk

00:33:04.140 --> 00:33:04.799
 what kind

00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:05.120
 of work

00:33:05.120 --> 00:33:05.480
 you could

00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:05.920
 do

00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:06.539
 in order

00:33:06.539 --> 00:33:07.180
 to keep

00:33:07.180 --> 00:33:07.360
 the

00:33:07.360 --> 00:33:07.579
 Sabbath

00:33:07.579 --> 00:33:07.779
 day

00:33:07.779 --> 00:33:08.120
 holy

00:33:08.120 --> 00:33:10.000
 and

00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:11.180
 Jesus

00:33:11.180 --> 00:33:11.539
 gives them

00:33:11.539 --> 00:33:12.000
 this example

00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:12.900
 of don't

00:33:12.900 --> 00:33:13.100
 you know

00:33:13.100 --> 00:33:13.400
 the story

00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:13.660
 of when

00:33:13.660 --> 00:33:14.019
 David

00:33:14.019 --> 00:33:14.980
 did this

00:33:14.980 --> 00:33:15.480
 when David

00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:16.019
 ate

00:33:16.019 --> 00:33:16.460
 the bread

00:33:16.460 --> 00:33:16.680
 of the

00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:16.960
 priest

00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:17.319
 and then

00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:18.279
 the verse

00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:18.579
 that I want

00:33:18.579 --> 00:33:18.860
 to draw your

00:33:18.860 --> 00:33:19.279
 attention to

00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:19.559
 is verse

00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:20.079
 27

00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:20.920
 and he says

00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:24.059
 for the

00:33:24.059 --> 00:33:24.339
 Sabbath

00:33:24.339 --> 00:33:24.819
 so the

00:33:24.819 --> 00:33:25.180
 son of

00:33:25.180 --> 00:33:25.460
 man

00:33:25.460 --> 00:33:25.940
 is Lord

00:33:25.940 --> 00:33:26.960
 even of

00:33:26.960 --> 00:33:27.200
 the

00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:27.519
 Sabbath

00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:28.299
 and then

00:33:28.299 --> 00:33:28.980
 keep looking

00:33:28.980 --> 00:33:29.319
 at verse

00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:30.240
 chapter 3

00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:31.059
 there's this

00:33:31.059 --> 00:33:31.660
 situation

00:33:31.660 --> 00:33:32.000
 where this

00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:32.400
 guy has

00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:32.559
 this

00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:32.799
 withered

00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:33.200
 hand

00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:34.740
 and

00:33:34.740 --> 00:33:35.220
 Jesus

00:33:35.220 --> 00:33:36.640
 is about

00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:37.180
 to heal

00:33:37.180 --> 00:33:37.839
 this man

00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:38.200
 with withered

00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:38.420
 hand

00:33:38.420 --> 00:33:38.680
 but he

00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:38.940
 knows

00:33:38.940 --> 00:33:39.180
 what the

00:33:39.180 --> 00:33:39.519
 Pharisees

00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:39.860
 are thinking

00:33:39.860 --> 00:33:40.240
 they don't

00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:40.519
 want him

00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:40.839
 to heal

00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:41.039
 it

00:33:41.039 --> 00:33:42.180
 because

00:33:42.180 --> 00:33:42.680
 they think

00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:43.000
 that that's

00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:43.180
 something

00:33:43.180 --> 00:33:43.799
 blasphemous

00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:44.059
 that he's

00:33:44.059 --> 00:33:44.220
 doing

00:33:44.220 --> 00:33:44.860
 but instead

00:33:44.860 --> 00:33:45.720
 he does

00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:46.079
 heal

00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:47.880
 and they

00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:48.319
 get mad

00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:51.880
 and then

00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:52.779
 flip over

00:33:52.779 --> 00:33:53.059
 a couple

00:33:53.059 --> 00:33:53.360
 pages

00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:53.759
 to chapter

00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:54.179
 7

00:33:54.179 --> 00:34:01.679
 now this

00:34:01.679 --> 00:34:01.959
 is the

00:34:01.959 --> 00:34:02.279
 kicker

00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:02.939
 that's so

00:34:02.939 --> 00:34:03.299
 important

00:34:03.299 --> 00:34:03.659
 to get

00:34:03.659 --> 00:34:05.579
 look at

00:34:05.579 --> 00:34:06.339
 chapter 7

00:34:06.339 --> 00:34:07.099
 verse 14

00:34:07.099 --> 00:34:10.239
 so

00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:12.659
 Jesus

00:34:12.659 --> 00:34:12.960
 says

00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:13.259
 and he

00:34:13.259 --> 00:34:13.880
 called the

00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:14.279
 people to

00:34:14.279 --> 00:34:14.679
 him again

00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:15.319
 and said

00:34:15.319 --> 00:34:15.579
 to them

00:34:15.579 --> 00:34:16.299
 hear me

00:34:16.299 --> 00:34:16.900
 all of

00:34:16.900 --> 00:34:17.079
 you

00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:17.259
 and

00:34:17.259 --> 00:34:17.859
 understand

00:34:17.859 --> 00:34:18.539
 there is

00:34:18.539 --> 00:34:18.779
 nothing

00:34:18.779 --> 00:34:19.440
 outside a

00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:19.679
 person

00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:20.039
 that by

00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:20.400
 going

00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:20.699
 into

00:34:20.699 --> 00:34:20.900
 him

00:34:20.900 --> 00:34:21.079
 can

00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:21.579
 defile

00:34:21.579 --> 00:34:21.920
 him

00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:22.659
 but the

00:34:22.659 --> 00:34:22.900
 things

00:34:22.900 --> 00:34:23.280
 that come

00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:23.660
 out of

00:34:23.660 --> 00:34:24.019
 a person

00:34:24.019 --> 00:34:24.280
 are what

00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:24.660
 defile

00:34:24.660 --> 00:34:24.960
 him

00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:26.160
 whoa

00:34:26.160 --> 00:34:27.599
 that's so

00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:28.380
 not in

00:34:28.380 --> 00:34:28.900
 line with

00:34:28.900 --> 00:34:29.539
 what we

00:34:29.539 --> 00:34:29.940
 just looked

00:34:29.940 --> 00:34:30.139
 at in

00:34:30.139 --> 00:34:30.539
 Leviticus

00:34:30.539 --> 00:34:30.780
 right

00:34:30.780 --> 00:34:31.440
 like that's

00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:31.720
 Jesus

00:34:31.720 --> 00:34:32.099
 don't you

00:34:32.099 --> 00:34:32.519
 don't you

00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:33.039
 know your

00:34:33.039 --> 00:34:33.619
 Old Testament

00:34:33.619 --> 00:34:34.099
 don't you

00:34:34.099 --> 00:34:34.420
 know that

00:34:34.420 --> 00:34:34.800
 yes it

00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:35.220
 is

00:34:35.220 --> 00:34:35.780
 what

00:34:35.780 --> 00:34:36.119
 defiles

00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:36.460
 a person

00:34:36.460 --> 00:34:36.680
 like

00:34:36.680 --> 00:34:37.099
 no no no

00:34:37.099 --> 00:34:37.300
 you're

00:34:37.300 --> 00:34:37.599
 wrong

00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:37.820
 like

00:34:37.820 --> 00:34:39.180
 you eat

00:34:39.180 --> 00:34:39.599
 these meats

00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:39.960
 you eat

00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:40.320
 these different

00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:40.660
 types of

00:34:40.660 --> 00:34:41.039
 animals

00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:42.320
 and that

00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:42.900
 defiles you

00:34:42.900 --> 00:34:43.260
 that makes

00:34:43.260 --> 00:34:43.960
 you unclean

00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:44.400
 in the eyes

00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:44.880
 of the law

00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:46.240
 so is

00:34:46.240 --> 00:34:46.519
 Jesus

00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:47.000
 seemingly

00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:47.900
 disregarding

00:34:47.900 --> 00:34:48.500
 these laws

00:34:48.500 --> 00:34:50.420
 it seems

00:34:50.420 --> 00:34:50.780
 like it

00:34:50.780 --> 00:34:50.900
 right

00:34:50.900 --> 00:34:51.160
 like if

00:34:51.160 --> 00:34:51.460
 you look

00:34:51.460 --> 00:34:51.660
 at it

00:34:51.660 --> 00:34:52.340
 first glance

00:34:52.340 --> 00:34:52.680
 and you

00:34:52.680 --> 00:34:53.079
 really look

00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:54.000
 at Leviticus

00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:54.280
 and you

00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:54.539
 look at

00:34:54.539 --> 00:34:54.920
 to now

00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:56.200
 it seems

00:34:56.200 --> 00:34:56.579
 like Jesus

00:34:56.579 --> 00:34:57.340
 is disregarding

00:34:57.340 --> 00:34:57.640
 this

00:34:57.640 --> 00:35:00.920
 so

00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:02.260
 how is

00:35:02.260 --> 00:35:02.599
 he not

00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:04.539
 how is it

00:35:04.539 --> 00:35:04.880
 that Jesus

00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:05.780
 is right

00:35:05.780 --> 00:35:06.340
 in what

00:35:06.340 --> 00:35:06.880
 he does

00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:09.880
 what

00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:10.820
 is the

00:35:10.820 --> 00:35:11.500
 point of

00:35:11.500 --> 00:35:11.880
 these laws

00:35:11.880 --> 00:35:12.320
 what is the

00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:12.800
 point of

00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:13.460
 these Leviticus

00:35:13.460 --> 00:35:13.820
 laws

00:35:13.820 --> 00:35:14.559
 what is the

00:35:14.559 --> 00:35:14.840
 point of

00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:15.300
 all these

00:35:15.300 --> 00:35:15.660
 laws

00:35:15.660 --> 00:35:20.120
 it's really

00:35:20.120 --> 00:35:20.920
 made pretty

00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:21.280
 clear

00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:21.940
 the disciples

00:35:21.940 --> 00:35:22.440
 seem to

00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:22.680
 get it

00:35:22.680 --> 00:35:23.160
 in Acts

00:35:23.160 --> 00:35:24.080
 you can

00:35:24.080 --> 00:35:24.440
 flip back

00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:24.700
 over to

00:35:24.700 --> 00:35:25.100
 Acts 10

00:35:25.100 --> 00:35:25.320
 where we're

00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:25.460
 going to

00:35:25.460 --> 00:35:25.660
 kind of

00:35:25.660 --> 00:35:26.000
 pick back

00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:26.320
 up there

00:35:26.320 --> 00:35:26.620
 but

00:35:26.620 --> 00:35:27.760
 earlier in

00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:28.280
 Acts 3

00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:29.059
 they quote

00:35:29.059 --> 00:35:29.519
 Moses

00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:30.400
 from Deuteronomy

00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:30.640
 and they

00:35:30.640 --> 00:35:30.840
 said

00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:32.580
 Moses

00:35:32.580 --> 00:35:33.200
 even said

00:35:33.200 --> 00:35:33.440
 this at

00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:33.760
 one point

00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:34.180
 Moses

00:35:34.180 --> 00:35:35.039
 even said

00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:36.420
 that the

00:35:36.420 --> 00:35:36.860
 Lord

00:35:36.860 --> 00:35:37.500
 God

00:35:37.500 --> 00:35:38.080
 will raise

00:35:38.080 --> 00:35:38.500
 up for

00:35:38.500 --> 00:35:38.780
 you a

00:35:38.780 --> 00:35:39.200
 prophet

00:35:39.200 --> 00:35:40.340
 like me

00:35:40.340 --> 00:35:40.740
 from your

00:35:40.740 --> 00:35:41.059
 brothers

00:35:41.059 --> 00:35:41.860
 you shall

00:35:41.860 --> 00:35:42.360
 listen to

00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:42.580
 him

00:35:42.580 --> 00:35:43.039
 in whatever

00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:43.580
 he tells

00:35:43.580 --> 00:35:43.800
 you

00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:44.539
 it shall

00:35:44.539 --> 00:35:44.840
 be that

00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:45.380
 every soul

00:35:45.380 --> 00:35:45.860
 who does

00:35:45.860 --> 00:35:46.300
 not listen

00:35:46.300 --> 00:35:46.720
 to that

00:35:46.720 --> 00:35:47.160
 prophet

00:35:47.160 --> 00:35:48.000
 shall be

00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:48.460
 destroyed

00:35:48.460 --> 00:35:48.860
 from the

00:35:48.860 --> 00:35:49.140
 people

00:35:49.140 --> 00:35:50.300
 so Moses

00:35:50.300 --> 00:35:50.800
 is actually

00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:51.900
 talking about

00:35:51.900 --> 00:35:52.860
 Jesus

00:35:52.860 --> 00:35:53.840
 he's talking

00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:54.600
 about how

00:35:54.600 --> 00:35:55.660
 Jesus is going

00:35:55.660 --> 00:35:55.920
 to be the

00:35:55.920 --> 00:35:56.420
 fulfillment

00:35:56.420 --> 00:35:57.640
 of all these

00:35:57.640 --> 00:35:57.840
 laws

00:35:57.840 --> 00:35:58.180
 so they're

00:35:58.180 --> 00:35:59.019
 pointing to

00:35:59.019 --> 00:35:59.420
 Jesus

00:35:59.420 --> 00:36:00.780
 so I guess

00:36:00.780 --> 00:36:01.400
 that begs another

00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:01.760
 question of

00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:02.500
 what's the

00:36:02.500 --> 00:36:03.480
 point of the

00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:03.780
 law

00:36:03.780 --> 00:36:05.400
 Romans 7

00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:05.980
 Paul talks

00:36:05.980 --> 00:36:06.320
 about the

00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:07.320
 law being

00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:08.380
 kind of like

00:36:08.380 --> 00:36:09.039
 a mirror to

00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:09.500
 you to show

00:36:09.500 --> 00:36:10.120
 you how

00:36:10.120 --> 00:36:10.860
 filthy you

00:36:10.860 --> 00:36:11.200
 are

00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:11.799
 Paul says

00:36:11.799 --> 00:36:12.019
 if I

00:36:12.019 --> 00:36:12.239
 didn't

00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:12.599
 have

00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:12.779
 the

00:36:12.779 --> 00:36:13.000
 law

00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:13.460
 I

00:36:13.460 --> 00:36:13.719
 wouldn't

00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:13.960
 know

00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:14.199
 that

00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:14.419
 I

00:36:14.419 --> 00:36:14.579
 was

00:36:14.579 --> 00:36:14.739
 in

00:36:14.739 --> 00:36:14.980
 sin

00:36:14.980 --> 00:36:16.039
 if

00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:16.239
 someone

00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:16.559
 didn't

00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:16.980
 say

00:36:16.980 --> 00:36:18.339
 hey

00:36:18.339 --> 00:36:19.960
 you can't

00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:20.339
 rob a

00:36:20.339 --> 00:36:20.500
 store

00:36:20.500 --> 00:36:20.639
 I

00:36:20.639 --> 00:36:20.799
 wouldn't

00:36:20.799 --> 00:36:20.960
 know

00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:21.099
 that

00:36:21.099 --> 00:36:21.239
 it's

00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:21.519
 wrong

00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:21.659
 to

00:36:21.659 --> 00:36:21.879
 not

00:36:21.879 --> 00:36:22.139
 rob

00:36:22.139 --> 00:36:22.299
 a

00:36:22.299 --> 00:36:22.519
 store

00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:24.339
 so

00:36:24.340 --> 00:36:25.039
 the

00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:25.280
 law

00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:25.720
 acts

00:36:25.720 --> 00:36:26.079
 as

00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:26.280
 a

00:36:26.280 --> 00:36:26.579
 mirror

00:36:26.579 --> 00:36:26.920
 the

00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:27.260
 most

00:36:27.260 --> 00:36:27.740
 the

00:36:27.740 --> 00:36:28.140
 big

00:36:28.140 --> 00:36:28.380
 point

00:36:28.380 --> 00:36:28.539
 here

00:36:28.539 --> 00:36:28.620
 is

00:36:28.620 --> 00:36:28.740
 that

00:36:28.740 --> 00:36:29.140
 Moses

00:36:29.140 --> 00:36:29.360
 and

00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:29.460
 the

00:36:29.460 --> 00:36:29.760
 prophets

00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:29.960
 they

00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:30.340
 all

00:36:30.340 --> 00:36:30.559
 are

00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:31.019
 pointing

00:36:31.019 --> 00:36:31.300
 to

00:36:31.300 --> 00:36:31.420
 an

00:36:31.420 --> 00:36:31.800
 event

00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:32.600
 they're

00:36:32.600 --> 00:36:32.760
 all

00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:33.260
 pointing

00:36:33.260 --> 00:36:33.660
 to

00:36:33.660 --> 00:36:34.300
 Jesus

00:36:34.300 --> 00:36:34.579
 is

00:36:34.579 --> 00:36:34.880
 coming

00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:36.160
 so when

00:36:36.160 --> 00:36:36.400
 Jesus

00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:37.039
 shows up

00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:37.380
 on the

00:36:37.380 --> 00:36:37.740
 scene

00:36:37.740 --> 00:36:38.640
 it's

00:36:38.640 --> 00:36:38.780
 like

00:36:38.780 --> 00:36:39.260
 the

00:36:39.260 --> 00:36:39.660
 Pharisees

00:36:39.660 --> 00:36:39.820
 like

00:36:39.820 --> 00:36:40.019
 they're

00:36:40.019 --> 00:36:40.360
 missing

00:36:40.360 --> 00:36:40.640
 it

00:36:40.640 --> 00:36:40.920
 they're

00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:41.160
 missing

00:36:41.160 --> 00:36:41.360
 the

00:36:41.360 --> 00:36:41.539
 thing

00:36:41.539 --> 00:36:41.820
 that

00:36:41.820 --> 00:36:42.240
 the

00:36:42.240 --> 00:36:42.400
 law

00:36:42.400 --> 00:36:42.620
 was

00:36:42.620 --> 00:36:42.880
 supposed

00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:43.079
 to

00:36:43.079 --> 00:36:43.300
 point

00:36:43.300 --> 00:36:43.480
 them

00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:43.940
 towards

00:36:43.940 --> 00:36:49.380
 Jesus

00:36:49.380 --> 00:36:49.820
 is

00:36:49.820 --> 00:36:50.019
 the

00:36:50.019 --> 00:36:50.360
 fulfillment

00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:50.880
 of all

00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:51.120
 these

00:36:51.120 --> 00:36:51.380
 things

00:36:51.380 --> 00:36:51.380


00:36:51.380 --> 00:36:51.579
 if

00:36:51.579 --> 00:36:51.980
 you've

00:36:51.980 --> 00:36:51.980


00:36:51.980 --> 00:36:52.240
 heard it

00:36:52.240 --> 00:36:52.420
 said

00:36:52.420 --> 00:36:52.740
 that

00:36:52.740 --> 00:36:54.039
 a

00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:54.519
 huge

00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:54.940
 point

00:36:54.940 --> 00:36:55.119
 of

00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:55.280
 the

00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:55.500
 law

00:36:55.500 --> 00:36:55.719
 was

00:36:55.719 --> 00:36:55.840
 to

00:36:55.840 --> 00:36:56.039
 show

00:36:56.039 --> 00:36:56.159
 us

00:36:56.159 --> 00:36:56.300
 how

00:36:56.300 --> 00:36:56.440
 we

00:36:56.440 --> 00:36:56.780
 couldn't

00:36:56.780 --> 00:36:57.099
 keep

00:36:57.099 --> 00:36:57.340
 it

00:36:57.340 --> 00:36:59.079
 that

00:36:59.079 --> 00:36:59.480
 that's

00:36:59.480 --> 00:36:59.599
 a

00:36:59.599 --> 00:36:59.960
 huge

00:36:59.960 --> 00:37:00.280
 purpose

00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:00.440
 of

00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:00.480
 the

00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:00.820
 Leviticus

00:37:00.820 --> 00:37:01.099
 law

00:37:01.099 --> 00:37:01.400
 all

00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:01.679
 these

00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:02.800
 rules

00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:03.420
 isn't

00:37:03.420 --> 00:37:03.539
 that

00:37:03.539 --> 00:37:03.679
 why

00:37:03.679 --> 00:37:03.960
 Jesus

00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:04.440
 says

00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:05.000
 hey

00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:05.480
 unless

00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:05.740
 your

00:37:05.740 --> 00:37:06.219
 righteousness

00:37:06.219 --> 00:37:07.300
 surpasses

00:37:07.300 --> 00:37:07.619
 that

00:37:07.619 --> 00:37:07.980
 of

00:37:07.980 --> 00:37:08.219
 the

00:37:08.219 --> 00:37:08.639
 scribes

00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:08.780
 and

00:37:08.780 --> 00:37:09.139
 Pharisees

00:37:09.139 --> 00:37:09.280
 the

00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:09.500
 guys

00:37:09.500 --> 00:37:09.659
 that

00:37:09.659 --> 00:37:09.900
 kept

00:37:09.900 --> 00:37:10.119
 all

00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:10.300
 these

00:37:10.300 --> 00:37:10.519
 rules

00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:10.719
 that

00:37:10.719 --> 00:37:11.240
 kept

00:37:11.240 --> 00:37:11.420
 all

00:37:11.420 --> 00:37:11.539
 the

00:37:11.539 --> 00:37:11.880
 dietary

00:37:11.880 --> 00:37:12.340
 laws

00:37:12.340 --> 00:37:12.579
 down

00:37:12.579 --> 00:37:12.740
 to

00:37:12.740 --> 00:37:12.900
 the

00:37:12.900 --> 00:37:13.240
 minute

00:37:13.240 --> 00:37:13.820
 details

00:37:13.820 --> 00:37:14.219
 and

00:37:14.219 --> 00:37:14.420
 Jesus

00:37:14.420 --> 00:37:14.559
 is

00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:14.679
 saying

00:37:14.679 --> 00:37:14.800
 you

00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:14.960
 have

00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:15.039
 to

00:37:21.980 --> 00:37:22.260
 are

00:37:22.260 --> 00:37:22.880
 hopeless

00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:23.960
 just

00:37:23.960 --> 00:37:24.199
 like

00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:24.880
 Cornelius

00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:27.820
 okay

00:37:27.820 --> 00:37:28.099
 so

00:37:28.099 --> 00:37:28.840
 what's

00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:29.199
 Peter's

00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:29.420
 second

00:37:29.420 --> 00:37:30.019
 response

00:37:30.019 --> 00:37:30.719
 so

00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:32.420
 Peter

00:37:32.420 --> 00:37:32.740
 hears

00:37:32.740 --> 00:37:32.960
 this

00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:33.480
 he soon

00:37:33.480 --> 00:37:33.920
 realized

00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:34.320
 this is

00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:34.539
 about

00:37:34.539 --> 00:37:34.900
 more

00:37:34.900 --> 00:37:35.079
 than

00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:35.440
 food

00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:35.639
 that

00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:35.960
 God's

00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:36.260

00:37:36.260 --> 00:37:36.619
 here

00:37:36.619 --> 00:37:37.219
 and

00:37:37.219 --> 00:37:37.360
 his

00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:37.900
 response

00:37:37.900 --> 00:37:38.880
 is

00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:39.280
 complete

00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:39.800
 obedience

00:37:39.800 --> 00:37:41.360
 he

00:37:41.360 --> 00:37:41.880
 understands

00:37:41.880 --> 00:37:42.000
 that

00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:42.119
 this

00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:42.360
 vision

00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:42.480
 is

00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:42.820
 more

00:37:42.820 --> 00:37:42.920
 than

00:37:42.920 --> 00:37:43.159
 about

00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:44.480
 food

00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:45.820
 we

00:37:45.820 --> 00:37:46.059
 see

00:37:46.059 --> 00:37:46.240
 that

00:37:46.240 --> 00:37:46.380
 in

00:37:46.380 --> 00:37:46.519
 verse

00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:46.840
 28

00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:47.000
 he

00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:47.199
 says

00:37:47.199 --> 00:37:47.699
 you

00:37:47.699 --> 00:37:48.119
 yourselves

00:37:48.119 --> 00:37:48.599
 know

00:37:48.599 --> 00:37:49.179
 how

00:37:49.179 --> 00:37:49.699
 unlawful

00:37:49.699 --> 00:37:49.920
 it is

00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:50.240
 for a

00:37:50.240 --> 00:37:50.340
 Jew

00:37:50.340 --> 00:37:50.480
 to

00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:50.900
 associate

00:37:50.900 --> 00:37:51.300
 with

00:37:51.300 --> 00:37:51.480
 or

00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:51.619
 to

00:37:51.619 --> 00:37:51.840
 visit

00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:52.180
 anyone

00:37:52.180 --> 00:37:52.400
 of

00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:52.620
 another

00:37:52.620 --> 00:37:53.079
 nation

00:37:53.079 --> 00:37:53.360
 but

00:37:53.360 --> 00:37:53.640
 God

00:37:53.640 --> 00:37:53.840
 has

00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:54.100
 shown

00:37:54.100 --> 00:37:54.340
 me

00:37:54.340 --> 00:37:54.880
 that

00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:55.000
 I

00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:55.180
 should

00:37:55.180 --> 00:37:55.420
 not

00:37:55.420 --> 00:37:55.720
 call

00:37:55.720 --> 00:37:55.940
 any

00:37:55.940 --> 00:37:56.280
 person

00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:56.700
 common

00:37:56.700 --> 00:37:56.960
 or

00:37:56.960 --> 00:37:57.500
 unclean

00:37:57.500 --> 00:37:58.120
 which

00:37:58.120 --> 00:37:58.200
 is

00:37:58.200 --> 00:37:58.360
 a little

00:37:58.360 --> 00:37:58.600
 weird

00:37:58.600 --> 00:37:58.900
 because

00:37:58.900 --> 00:37:59.360
 that

00:37:59.360 --> 00:37:59.680
 vision

00:37:59.680 --> 00:37:59.880
 was

00:37:59.880 --> 00:38:00.180
 about

00:38:00.180 --> 00:38:00.620
 foods

00:38:00.620 --> 00:38:00.860
 but

00:38:00.860 --> 00:38:01.300
 Peter

00:38:01.300 --> 00:38:01.480
 is

00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:01.680
 smart

00:38:01.680 --> 00:38:01.840
 enough

00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:01.980
 to

00:38:01.980 --> 00:38:02.180
 make

00:38:02.180 --> 00:38:02.340
 the

00:38:02.340 --> 00:38:02.680
 connection

00:38:02.680 --> 00:38:03.200
 oh

00:38:03.200 --> 00:38:03.360
 you're

00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:03.500
 not

00:38:03.500 --> 00:38:03.680
 just

00:38:03.680 --> 00:38:03.980
 talking

00:38:03.980 --> 00:38:04.180
 about

00:38:04.180 --> 00:38:04.480
 food

00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:04.680
 right

00:38:04.680 --> 00:38:04.800
 now

00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:05.000
 you're

00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:05.280
 talking

00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:05.579
 about

00:38:05.579 --> 00:38:05.860
 all

00:38:05.860 --> 00:38:06.280
 people

00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:08.240
 so

00:38:08.240 --> 00:38:08.380
 what

00:38:08.380 --> 00:38:08.500
 does

00:38:08.500 --> 00:38:08.600
 he

00:38:08.600 --> 00:38:08.860
 do

00:38:08.860 --> 00:38:09.300
 he

00:38:09.300 --> 00:38:09.460
 does

00:38:09.460 --> 00:38:09.720
 two

00:38:09.720 --> 00:38:10.039
 things

00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:10.180
 that

00:38:10.180 --> 00:38:10.340
 would

00:38:10.340 --> 00:38:10.700
 be

00:38:10.700 --> 00:38:11.300
 in

00:38:11.300 --> 00:38:11.780
 violation

00:38:11.780 --> 00:38:11.980
 of

00:38:14.120 --> 00:38:14.620
 23

00:38:14.620 --> 00:38:16.380
 so

00:38:16.380 --> 00:38:16.579
 he

00:38:16.579 --> 00:38:16.920
 invited

00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:17.099

 the list

00:41:03.059 --> 00:41:03.420
 could go

00:41:03.420 --> 00:41:03.879
 on and

00:41:03.879 --> 00:41:04.199
 on and

00:41:04.199 --> 00:41:04.440
 on

00:41:04.440 --> 00:41:06.980
 okay

00:41:06.980 --> 00:41:07.859
 I'm

00:41:07.859 --> 00:41:08.000
 going to

00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:08.199
 wrap it

00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:08.379
 up I

00:41:08.699 --> 00:41:09.199
 let's

00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:09.420
 look at

00:41:09.579 --> 00:41:09.960
 34

00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:14.059
 so

00:41:14.059 --> 00:41:14.299
 Peter

00:41:14.299 --> 00:41:14.839
 opened his

00:41:14.839 --> 00:41:15.299
 mouth and

00:41:15.299 --> 00:41:15.480
 said

00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:16.119
 truly I

00:41:16.119 --> 00:41:16.500
 understand

00:41:16.500 --> 00:41:17.000
 that God

00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:17.579
 shows no

00:41:17.579 --> 00:41:18.359
 partiality

00:41:18.359 --> 00:41:19.420
 but in

00:41:19.420 --> 00:41:20.079
 every nation

00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:20.799
 anyone who

00:41:20.799 --> 00:41:21.379
 fears him

00:41:21.379 --> 00:41:21.799
 and does

00:41:21.799 --> 00:41:22.099
 what is

00:41:22.099 --> 00:41:22.559
 right is

00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:23.039
 acceptable

00:41:23.039 --> 00:41:23.559
 to him

00:41:23.559 --> 00:41:24.679
 as for

00:41:24.679 --> 00:41:25.019
 the word

00:41:25.019 --> 00:41:25.259

00:42:10.340 --> 00:42:10.500
 is

00:42:23.579 --> 00:42:24.179
 Is it

00:42:24.179 --> 00:42:24.519
 Peter's

00:42:24.519 --> 00:42:24.880
 personal

00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:25.319
 testimony?

00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:25.679
 Is it

00:42:25.679 --> 00:42:25.920
 about

00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:26.199
 Peter

00:42:26.199 --> 00:42:26.480
 saying

00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:27.039
 I

00:42:27.039 --> 00:42:27.519
 denied

00:42:27.519 --> 00:42:27.920
 Jesus

00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:28.559
 and

00:42:28.559 --> 00:42:28.679
 he

00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:29.159
 restored

00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:29.500
 me?

00:42:30.279 --> 00:42:30.599
 Is it

00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:30.980
 about

00:42:30.980 --> 00:42:32.699
 how

00:42:32.699 --> 00:42:33.340
 I

00:42:33.340 --> 00:42:33.759
 once

00:42:33.759 --> 00:42:34.039
 was a

00:42:34.039 --> 00:42:34.420
 drunkard

00:42:34.420 --> 00:42:34.739
 and

00:42:34.739 --> 00:42:34.880
 then

00:42:34.880 --> 00:42:35.019
 I

00:42:35.019 --> 00:42:35.219
 came

00:42:35.219 --> 00:42:35.380
 to

00:42:35.380 --> 00:42:35.799
 Jesus

00:42:35.799 --> 00:42:36.579
 because

00:42:36.579 --> 00:42:37.000
 he

00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:37.259
 healed

00:42:37.259 --> 00:42:37.440
 me?

00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:37.539
 Or

00:42:37.539 --> 00:42:37.739
 is it

00:42:37.739 --> 00:42:37.900
 that

00:42:37.900 --> 00:42:38.199
 I

00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:38.340
 got

00:42:38.340 --> 00:42:38.460
 a

00:42:38.460 --> 00:42:38.599
 better

00:42:38.599 --> 00:42:38.960
 life

00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:39.119
 from

00:42:39.119 --> 00:42:39.360
 Jesus

00:42:39.360 --> 00:42:39.579
 and

00:42:39.579 --> 00:42:39.819
 I

00:42:39.819 --> 00:42:40.039
 found

00:42:40.039 --> 00:42:40.219
 my

00:42:40.219 --> 00:42:40.659

00:42:40.659 --> 00:42:41.059
 in

00:42:41.059 --> 00:42:41.360
 Jesus?

00:42:41.699 --> 00:42:42.019
 That's

00:42:42.019 --> 00:42:42.179
 not

00:42:42.179 --> 00:42:42.340
 the

00:42:42.340 --> 00:42:42.639
 message

00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:42.840

00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:43.480
 I'm

00:42:43.819 --> 00:42:43.940
 that

00:42:43.940 --> 00:42:44.099

00:42:44.099 --> 00:42:44.199
 are

 messages.

00:42:45.739 --> 00:42:45.139
!

00:42:45.759 --> 00:42:45.840
 But

00:42:54.960 --> 00:42:55.980
 Peter

00:42:55.980 --> 00:42:56.559
 understands

00:42:56.559 --> 00:42:56.820
 it's

00:42:56.820 --> 00:42:57.019
 go

00:42:57.019 --> 00:42:57.360
 time

00:42:57.360 --> 00:42:58.000
 and

00:42:58.000 --> 00:42:58.099
 he

00:42:58.099 --> 00:42:58.360
 doesn't

00:42:58.360 --> 00:42:58.619
 preach

00:42:58.619 --> 00:42:58.780
 his

00:42:58.780 --> 00:42:59.180

00:42:59.180 --> 00:42:59.519
 he

00:42:59.519 --> 00:42:59.760
 doesn't

00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:00.019
 preach

00:43:00.019 --> 00:43:00.160
 how

00:43:00.160 --> 00:43:00.400
 God

00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:00.500
 has

00:43:00.500 --> 00:43:00.639
 given

00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:00.740
 him

00:43:00.740 --> 00:43:00.820
 a

00:43:00.820 --> 00:43:00.940
 better

00:43:00.940 --> 00:43:01.280
 life

00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:01.680
 though

00:43:01.680 --> 00:43:01.840
 some

00:43:01.840 --> 00:43:01.920
 of

00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:02.059
 those

00:43:02.059 --> 00:43:02.260
 things

00:43:02.260 --> 00:43:02.519
 may

00:43:02.519 --> 00:43:02.619
 or

00:43:02.619 --> 00:43:02.740
 may

00:43:02.740 --> 00:43:02.940
 not

00:43:02.940 --> 00:43:03.119
 be

00:43:03.119 --> 00:43:03.440
 true

00:43:03.440 --> 00:43:04.460
 but

00:43:04.460 --> 00:43:04.599
 he

00:43:04.599 --> 00:43:05.039
 preaches

00:43:05.039 --> 00:43:06.000
 the

00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:06.360
 life

00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:06.579
 the

00:43:06.579 --> 00:43:06.840
 death

00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:06.960
 and

00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:07.099
 the

00:43:07.099 --> 00:43:07.500
 resurrection

00:43:07.500 --> 00:43:07.780
 of

00:43:07.780 --> 00:43:08.079
 Jesus

00:43:08.079 --> 00:43:08.960
 that

00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:09.199
 is

00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:10.199
 crucial

00:43:10.199 --> 00:43:10.440
 to

00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:11.019
 understand

00:43:11.019 --> 00:43:11.460
 so

00:43:11.460 --> 00:43:11.579
 when

00:43:11.579 --> 00:43:11.719
 you're

00:43:11.719 --> 00:43:11.980
 given

00:43:11.980 --> 00:43:12.260
 that

00:43:12.260 --> 00:43:13.460
 moment

00:43:13.460 --> 00:43:14.139
 when

00:43:14.139 --> 00:43:14.440
 someone's

00:43:14.440 --> 00:43:14.820
 asking

00:43:14.820 --> 00:43:14.980
 you

00:43:14.980 --> 00:43:15.480
 what's

00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:15.659
 the

00:43:15.659 --> 00:43:15.900
 hope

00:43:15.900 --> 00:43:16.079
 that

00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:16.260
 you

00:43:16.260 --> 00:43:16.800
 have

00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:17.440
 what

00:43:17.440 --> 00:43:17.760
 makes

00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:17.920
 you

00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:18.320
 different

00:43:18.320 --> 00:43:18.860
 what

00:43:18.860 --> 00:43:19.000
 is

00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:19.099
 it

00:43:19.099 --> 00:43:19.260
 that

00:43:19.260 --> 00:43:19.619
 you

00:43:19.619 --> 00:43:20.300
 fall

00:43:20.300 --> 00:43:20.599
 back

00:43:20.599 --> 00:43:20.900
 on

00:43:20.900 --> 00:43:21.679
 again

00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:22.059
 personal

00:43:22.059 --> 00:43:22.380
 experience

00:43:22.380 --> 00:43:22.519
 is

00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:22.719
 great

00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:22.880
 I'm

00:43:22.880 --> 00:43:23.019
 not

00:43:23.019 --> 00:43:23.219
 saying

00:43:23.219 --> 00:43:23.420
 that's

00:43:23.420 --> 00:43:23.519
 a

00:43:23.519 --> 00:43:23.780
 bad

00:43:23.780 --> 00:43:24.059
 thing

00:43:24.059 --> 00:43:24.400
 but

00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:24.500
 I'm

00:43:24.500 --> 00:43:24.739
 saying

00:43:24.739 --> 00:43:25.099
 Peter

00:43:25.099 --> 00:43:25.440
 sees

00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:25.440


00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:25.579
 this

00:43:25.579 --> 00:43:25.679
 as

00:43:25.679 --> 00:43:25.780
 an

00:43:25.780 --> 00:43:26.079
 opportunity

00:43:26.079 --> 00:43:26.280

00:43:26.679 --> 00:43:27.079
 gospel

00:43:27.079 --> 00:43:27.239
 so

00:43:27.239 --> 00:43:27.380
 that's

00:43:27.380 --> 00:43:27.480
 what

00:43:27.480 --> 00:43:27.599
 he

00:43:27.599 --> 00:43:28.019
 does

00:43:28.019 --> 00:43:31.619
 we

00:43:31.619 --> 00:43:31.739

00:44:33.900 --> 00:44:34.139
 and our

00:44:34.139 --> 00:44:34.519
 family

00:44:34.519 --> 00:44:37.579
 okay

00:44:37.579 --> 00:44:38.340
 and then

00:44:38.340 --> 00:44:39.440
 finishing up

00:44:39.440 --> 00:44:39.700
 in verse

00:44:39.700 --> 00:44:40.320
 44

00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:42.480
 while

00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:42.920
 Peter was

00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:43.740
 still saying

00:44:43.740 --> 00:44:44.220
 these things

00:44:44.220 --> 00:44:44.559
 the Holy

00:44:44.559 --> 00:44:44.860
 Spirit

00:44:44.860 --> 00:44:45.619
 fell on

00:44:45.619 --> 00:44:46.079
 all who

00:44:46.079 --> 00:44:46.300
 heard

00:44:46.300 --> 00:44:46.440
 the

00:44:46.440 --> 00:44:46.700
 word

00:44:46.700 --> 00:44:47.139
 and

00:44:47.139 --> 00:44:47.260
 the

00:44:47.260 --> 00:44:47.559
 believers

00:44:47.559 --> 00:44:48.180
 from

00:44:48.180 --> 00:44:48.480
 among

00:44:48.480 --> 00:44:48.680
 the

00:44:48.680 --> 00:44:49.360
 circumcised

00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:49.539
 who

00:44:49.539 --> 00:44:49.660
 had

00:44:49.660 --> 00:44:50.039
 come

00:44:50.039 --> 00:44:50.340
 with

00:44:50.340 --> 00:44:50.599
 Peter

00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:50.800
 were

00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:51.400
 amazed

00:44:51.400 --> 00:44:51.960
 because

00:44:51.960 --> 00:44:52.180
 the

00:44:52.180 --> 00:44:52.400
 gift

00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:52.519
 of

00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:52.639
 the

00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:52.840
 Holy

00:44:52.840 --> 00:44:53.079
 Spirit

00:44:53.079 --> 00:44:53.260
 was

00:44:53.260 --> 00:44:53.559
 poured

00:44:53.559 --> 00:44:53.860
 out

00:44:53.860 --> 00:44:54.500
 even

00:44:54.500 --> 00:44:54.840
 on

00:44:54.840 --> 00:44:55.039
 the

00:44:55.039 --> 00:44:55.700
 Gentiles

00:44:55.699 --> 00:44:56.719
 for

00:44:56.719 --> 00:44:56.859
 they

00:44:56.859 --> 00:44:56.980
 were

00:44:56.980 --> 00:44:57.619
 hearing

00:44:57.619 --> 00:44:58.199
 them

00:44:58.199 --> 00:44:58.519
 speaking

00:44:58.519 --> 00:44:58.759
 in

00:44:58.759 --> 00:44:59.079
 tongues

00:44:59.079 --> 00:44:59.259
 and

00:44:59.259 --> 00:44:59.779
 extolling

00:44:59.779 --> 00:45:00.179
 God

00:45:00.179 --> 00:45:00.799
 then

00:45:00.799 --> 00:45:01.079
 Peter

00:45:01.079 --> 00:45:01.500
 declared

00:45:01.500 --> 00:45:01.739
 can

00:45:01.739 --> 00:45:02.079
 anyone

00:45:02.079 --> 00:45:02.559
 withhold

00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:03.099
 water

00:45:03.099 --> 00:45:03.339
 from

00:45:03.339 --> 00:45:03.919
 baptizing

00:45:03.919 --> 00:45:04.119
 these

00:45:04.119 --> 00:45:04.460
 people

00:45:04.460 --> 00:45:04.980
 who

00:45:04.980 --> 00:45:05.099
 have

00:45:05.099 --> 00:45:05.460
 received

00:45:05.460 --> 00:45:05.619
 the

00:45:05.619 --> 00:45:05.819
 Holy

00:45:05.819 --> 00:45:06.139
 Spirit

00:45:06.139 --> 00:45:06.480
 just

00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:06.679
 as

00:45:06.679 --> 00:45:06.859
 we

00:45:06.859 --> 00:45:07.199
 have

00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:07.719
 and

00:45:07.719 --> 00:45:07.819
 he

00:45:07.819 --> 00:45:08.139
 commanded

00:45:08.139 --> 00:45:08.319
 them

00:45:08.319 --> 00:45:08.559
 to be

00:45:08.559 --> 00:45:08.960
 baptized

00:45:08.960 --> 00:45:09.439
 in the

00:45:09.439 --> 00:45:09.559
 name

00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:09.679
 of

00:45:09.679 --> 00:45:09.879
 Jesus

00:45:09.879 --> 00:45:10.319
 Christ

00:45:10.319 --> 00:45:10.960
 then

00:45:10.960 --> 00:45:11.099
 they

00:45:11.099 --> 00:45:11.480
 asked

00:45:11.480 --> 00:45:11.679
 him

00:45:11.679 --> 00:45:11.859
 to

00:45:11.859 --> 00:45:12.159
 remain

00:45:12.159 --> 00:45:12.359
 for

00:45:12.359 --> 00:45:12.579
 some

00:45:12.579 --> 00:45:12.919
 days

00:45:12.919 --> 00:45:13.619
 which

00:45:13.619 --> 00:45:13.779
 is

00:45:13.779 --> 00:45:14.419
 really

00:45:14.419 --> 00:45:14.719
 interesting

00:45:14.719 --> 00:45:14.859
 because

00:45:14.859 --> 00:45:14.960
 the

00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:15.139
 Holy

00:45:15.139 --> 00:45:15.379
 Spirit

00:45:15.379 --> 00:45:16.019
 interrupts

00:45:16.019 --> 00:45:16.359
 Peter's

00:45:16.359 --> 00:45:16.679
 message

00:45:16.679 --> 00:45:16.699
!

00:45:25.699 --> 00:45:26.019
 it

00:45:26.019 --> 00:45:26.319
 seems

00:45:26.319 --> 00:45:26.559
 a little

00:45:26.559 --> 00:45:26.960
 rude

00:45:26.960 --> 00:45:29.139
 and

00:45:29.139 --> 00:45:29.259
 does

00:45:29.259 --> 00:45:29.359
 it

00:45:29.359 --> 00:45:29.659
 remind

00:45:29.659 --> 00:45:29.819
 you

00:45:29.819 --> 00:45:29.939
 of

00:45:29.939 --> 00:45:30.099
 any

00:45:30.099 --> 00:45:30.379
 event

00:45:30.379 --> 00:45:30.619
 that's

00:45:30.619 --> 00:45:30.960
 happened

00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:31.819
 maybe

00:45:31.819 --> 00:45:32.379
 a few

00:45:32.379 --> 00:45:32.699
 chapters

00:45:32.699 --> 00:45:33.000
 ago

00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:33.199
 does

00:45:33.199 --> 00:45:33.319
 it

00:45:33.319 --> 00:45:33.579
 remind

00:45:33.579 --> 00:45:33.719
 you

00:45:33.719 --> 00:45:33.839
 of

00:45:33.839 --> 00:45:34.379
 Pentecost

00:45:34.379 --> 00:45:36.279
 so

00:45:36.279 --> 00:45:36.939
 specifically

00:45:36.939 --> 00:45:37.500
 in this

00:45:37.500 --> 00:45:37.919
 text

00:45:37.919 --> 00:45:38.879
 that's

00:45:38.879 --> 00:45:39.960
 opening up

00:45:39.960 --> 00:45:40.359
 the can

00:45:40.359 --> 00:45:40.839
 of

00:45:40.839 --> 00:45:41.500
 the Holy

00:45:41.500 --> 00:45:41.799
 Spirit

00:45:41.799 --> 00:45:42.299
 being poured

00:45:42.299 --> 00:45:42.699
 out on

00:45:42.699 --> 00:45:43.319
 unbelievers

00:45:43.319 --> 00:45:44.480
 and

00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:45.679
 speaking in

00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:45.819
 tongues

00:45:45.819 --> 00:45:46.139
 that's a

00:45:46.139 --> 00:45:46.659
 whole other

00:45:46.659 --> 00:45:48.299
 conversation

00:45:48.299 --> 00:45:48.879
 but in

00:45:48.879 --> 00:45:49.359
 this text

00:45:49.359 --> 00:45:50.139
 specifically

00:45:50.139 --> 00:45:51.179
 what is

00:45:51.179 --> 00:45:51.699
 the point

00:45:51.699 --> 00:45:52.159
 of the Holy

00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:52.539
 Spirit

00:45:52.539 --> 00:45:53.439
 being poured

00:45:53.439 --> 00:45:53.960
 out on

00:45:53.960 --> 00:45:54.359
 this way

00:45:54.359 --> 00:45:54.699
 on the

00:45:54.699 --> 00:45:55.259
 Gentiles

00:45:55.260 --> 00:45:57.960
 doesn't it

00:45:57.960 --> 00:45:58.320
 confirm

00:45:58.320 --> 00:45:58.620
 something

00:45:58.620 --> 00:45:58.880
 to the

00:45:58.880 --> 00:45:59.820
 Jews

00:45:59.820 --> 00:46:00.680
 who think

00:46:00.680 --> 00:46:01.140
 that salvation

00:46:01.140 --> 00:46:01.660
 can't come

00:46:01.660 --> 00:46:01.880
 to the

00:46:01.880 --> 00:46:02.240
 Gentiles

00:46:02.240 --> 00:46:02.440
 unless

00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:02.680
 they're

00:46:02.680 --> 00:46:03.560
 circumcised

00:46:03.560 --> 00:46:04.900
 it reveals

00:46:04.900 --> 00:46:05.260
 to them

00:46:05.260 --> 00:46:06.480
 the Holy

00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:06.800
 Spirit

00:46:06.800 --> 00:46:07.660
 was poured

00:46:07.660 --> 00:46:07.900
 out on

00:46:07.900 --> 00:46:08.020
 them

00:46:08.020 --> 00:46:08.280
 after

00:46:08.280 --> 00:46:08.500
 what

00:46:08.500 --> 00:46:08.680
 after

00:46:08.680 --> 00:46:08.800
 they

00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:08.960
 just

00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:09.160
 heard

00:46:09.160 --> 00:46:09.360
 the

00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:09.780
 message

00:46:09.780 --> 00:46:10.380
 and

00:46:10.380 --> 00:46:10.780
 received

00:46:10.780 --> 00:46:11.080
 it

00:46:11.080 --> 00:46:13.800
 so

00:46:13.800 --> 00:46:14.200
 it's

00:46:14.200 --> 00:46:15.020
 undeniable

00:46:15.020 --> 00:46:15.540
 to these

00:46:15.540 --> 00:46:15.880
 witnessing

00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:16.200
 Jews

00:46:16.200 --> 00:46:16.500
 that the

00:46:16.500 --> 00:46:16.680
 Holy

00:46:16.680 --> 00:46:16.900
 Spirit

00:46:16.900 --> 00:46:17.080
 is

00:46:17.080 --> 00:46:17.480
 poured

00:46:17.480 --> 00:46:17.860
 out

00:46:17.860 --> 00:46:18.200
 that

00:46:18.200 --> 00:46:18.360
 it's

00:46:18.360 --> 00:46:18.540
 for

00:46:18.540 --> 00:46:19.100
 all

00:46:19.100 --> 00:46:19.400
 people

00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:19.600
 that

00:46:19.600 --> 00:46:19.720
 they

00:46:19.720 --> 00:46:19.900
 don't

00:46:19.900 --> 00:46:20.320
 need

00:46:20.320 --> 00:46:20.800
 to

00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:21.240
 clean

00:46:21.240 --> 00:46:21.380
 up

00:46:21.380 --> 00:46:21.560
 their

00:46:21.560 --> 00:46:22.180
 life

00:46:22.180 --> 00:46:24.380
 that

00:46:24.380 --> 00:46:24.800
 God

00:46:24.800 --> 00:46:27.460
 invites

00:46:27.460 --> 00:46:27.640
 them

00:46:27.640 --> 00:46:28.140
 exactly

00:46:28.140 --> 00:46:28.420
 where

00:46:28.420 --> 00:46:28.599
 they

00:46:28.599 --> 00:46:28.920
 are

00:46:28.920 --> 00:46:30.140
 you've

00:46:30.140 --> 00:46:30.240
 heard

00:46:30.240 --> 00:46:30.420
 it said

00:46:30.420 --> 00:46:30.720
 that God

00:46:30.720 --> 00:46:31.160
 accepts

00:46:31.160 --> 00:46:31.340
 you

00:46:31.340 --> 00:46:31.660
 just as

00:46:31.660 --> 00:46:31.940
 you are

00:46:31.940 --> 00:46:32.200
 that's

00:46:32.200 --> 00:46:32.420
 not

00:46:32.420 --> 00:46:32.700
 true

00:46:32.700 --> 00:46:34.039
 God

00:46:34.039 --> 00:46:34.740
 invites

00:46:34.740 --> 00:46:35.079
 you

00:46:35.079 --> 00:46:35.940
 exactly

00:46:35.940 --> 00:46:36.160
 where

00:46:36.160 --> 00:46:36.320
 you

00:46:36.320 --> 00:46:36.619
 are

00:46:36.619 --> 00:46:39.599
 and that's

00:46:39.599 --> 00:46:39.780
 what he

00:46:39.780 --> 00:46:39.940
 does

00:46:39.940 --> 00:46:40.200
 here

00:46:40.200 --> 00:46:41.500
 so

00:46:41.500 --> 00:46:42.480
 in summary

00:46:42.480 --> 00:46:43.019
 what does

00:46:43.019 --> 00:46:43.519
 this tell

00:46:43.519 --> 00:46:43.960
 us about

00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:44.340
 the heart

00:46:44.340 --> 00:46:44.800
 of God

00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:45.140
 we've

00:46:45.140 --> 00:46:45.340
 talked

00:46:45.340 --> 00:46:45.500
 about

00:46:45.500 --> 00:46:45.880
 how God

00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:46.079
 is

00:46:46.079 --> 00:46:47.140
 relentlessly

00:46:47.140 --> 00:46:47.140


00:46:47.140 --> 00:46:47.700
 pursuing

00:46:47.700 --> 00:46:48.000
 sinners

00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:48.460
 of all

00:46:48.460 --> 00:46:48.940
 kinds

00:46:48.940 --> 00:46:51.280
 we're

00:46:51.280 --> 00:46:51.539
 seeing

00:46:51.539 --> 00:46:51.860
 here

00:46:51.860 --> 00:46:52.400
 that

00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:52.659
 God

00:46:52.659 --> 00:46:53.320
 relentlessly

00:46:53.320 --> 00:46:53.800
 pursues

00:46:53.800 --> 00:46:54.099
 sinners

00:46:54.099 --> 00:46:54.559
 of all

00:46:54.559 --> 00:46:55.519
 nations

00:46:55.519 --> 00:46:56.940
 gosh

00:46:56.940 --> 00:46:57.340
 this is

00:46:57.340 --> 00:46:57.519
 where

00:46:57.519 --> 00:46:58.539
 I said

00:46:58.539 --> 00:46:58.780
 earlier

00:46:58.780 --> 00:46:59.019
 that I

00:46:59.019 --> 00:46:59.119
 feel

00:46:59.119 --> 00:46:59.220
 like

00:46:59.220 --> 00:46:59.340
 you

00:46:59.340 --> 00:46:59.480
 could

00:46:59.480 --> 00:46:59.700
 have

00:46:59.700 --> 00:47:00.039
 six

00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:00.300
 different

00:47:00.300 --> 00:47:00.679
 sermons

00:47:00.679 --> 00:47:01.559
 talking

00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:01.780
 about

00:47:01.780 --> 00:47:01.980
 God

00:47:01.980 --> 00:47:02.179
 has

00:47:02.179 --> 00:47:02.320
 this

00:47:02.320 --> 00:47:02.539
 heart

00:47:02.539 --> 00:47:02.679
 for

00:47:02.679 --> 00:47:02.820
 the

00:47:02.820 --> 00:47:03.400
 nations

00:47:03.400 --> 00:47:04.360
 not

00:47:04.360 --> 00:47:04.579
 just

00:47:04.579 --> 00:47:04.880
 one

00:47:04.880 --> 00:47:05.059
 group

00:47:05.059 --> 00:47:05.159
 of

00:47:05.159 --> 00:47:05.320
 people

00:47:05.320 --> 00:47:05.619
 not

00:47:05.619 --> 00:47:05.960
 just

00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:06.320
 the

00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:06.539
 Jewish

00:47:06.539 --> 00:47:06.860
 people

00:47:06.860 --> 00:47:07.320
 not

00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:07.559
 just

00:47:07.559 --> 00:47:08.179
 Americans

00:47:08.179 --> 00:47:09.200
 not

00:47:09.200 --> 00:47:09.380
 just

00:47:09.380 --> 00:47:09.659
 people

00:47:09.659 --> 00:47:09.960
 that

00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:11.240
 align

00:47:11.240 --> 00:47:11.440
 with

00:47:11.440 --> 00:47:11.820
 western

00:47:11.820 --> 00:47:12.340
 thought

00:47:12.340 --> 00:47:12.960
 but

00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:13.260
 all

00:47:13.260 --> 00:47:13.639
 peoples

00:47:13.639 --> 00:47:13.900
 does

00:47:13.900 --> 00:47:14.139
 your

00:47:14.139 --> 00:47:14.519
 heart

00:47:14.519 --> 00:47:14.800
 ache

00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:14.960
 to

00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:15.119
 see

00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:15.380
 different

00:47:15.380 --> 00:47:15.840
 cultures

00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:16.039
 and

00:47:16.039 --> 00:47:16.380
 people

00:47:16.380 --> 00:47:17.059
 saved

00:47:17.059 --> 00:47:17.900
 gosh

00:47:17.900 --> 00:47:18.059
 it's

00:47:18.940 --> 00:47:48.920
 I

00:47:48.920 --> 00:47:48.980
 just

00:47:48.980 --> 00:47:49.220
 like

00:47:49.220 --> 00:47:49.400
 you

00:47:49.400 --> 00:47:49.539
 and

00:47:49.539 --> 00:47:49.780
 me

00:47:49.780 --> 00:47:50.700
 God

00:47:50.700 --> 00:47:51.320
 crosses

00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:51.900
 these

00:47:51.900 --> 00:47:52.380
 social

00:47:52.380 --> 00:47:53.539
 taboos

00:47:53.539 --> 00:47:54.159
 Peter

00:47:54.159 --> 00:47:54.680
 crosses

00:47:54.680 --> 00:47:54.940
 these

00:47:54.940 --> 00:47:55.300
 social

00:47:55.300 --> 00:47:56.099
 taboos

00:47:56.099 --> 00:47:58.039
 it's

00:47:58.039 --> 00:47:58.900
 some

00:47:58.900 --> 00:47:59.099
 people

00:47:59.099 --> 00:47:59.360
 will try

00:47:59.360 --> 00:47:59.460
 to

00:47:59.460 --> 00:47:59.840
 compare

00:47:59.840 --> 00:48:00.260
 this

00:48:00.260 --> 00:48:00.960
 divide

00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:01.260
 between

00:48:01.260 --> 00:48:01.539
 Jews

00:48:01.539 --> 00:48:01.680
 and

00:48:01.680 --> 00:48:02.119
 Gentiles

00:48:02.119 --> 00:48:02.480
 to

00:48:02.480 --> 00:48:03.079
 maybe

00:48:03.079 --> 00:48:03.320
 some

00:48:03.320 --> 00:48:03.420
 of

00:48:03.420 --> 00:48:03.500
 the

00:48:03.500 --> 00:48:03.920
 segregation

00:48:03.920 --> 00:48:04.280
 stuff

00:48:04.280 --> 00:48:04.400
 that

00:48:04.400 --> 00:48:04.720
 happened

00:48:04.720 --> 00:48:05.059
 here

00:48:05.059 --> 00:48:05.240
 in the

00:48:05.240 --> 00:48:05.440
 United

00:48:05.440 --> 00:48:05.740
 States

00:48:05.740 --> 00:48:05.980
 in the

00:48:05.980 --> 00:48:06.820
 1960s

00:48:06.820 --> 00:48:06.920
 and

00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:07.300
 70s

00:48:07.300 --> 00:48:07.420
 and

00:48:07.420 --> 00:48:08.200
 it's

00:48:08.200 --> 00:48:08.840
 not

00:48:08.840 --> 00:48:09.380
 comparable

00:48:09.380 --> 00:48:11.420
 I get

00:48:11.420 --> 00:48:11.680
 that there's

00:48:11.680 --> 00:48:12.059
 prejudice

00:48:12.059 --> 00:48:12.380
 there

00:48:12.380 --> 00:48:12.639
 but

00:48:12.639 --> 00:48:13.039
 this

00:48:13.039 --> 00:48:13.159
 was

00:48:13.159 --> 00:48:13.320
 something

00:48:13.320 --> 00:48:13.440
 that

00:48:13.440 --> 00:48:13.539
 was

00:48:13.539 --> 00:48:14.119
 established

00:48:14.119 --> 00:48:14.559
 by

00:48:14.559 --> 00:48:15.240
 God

00:48:15.240 --> 00:48:17.240
 early

00:48:17.240 --> 00:48:17.519
 in the

00:48:17.519 --> 00:48:17.659
 Old

00:48:17.659 --> 00:48:18.039
 Testament

00:48:18.039 --> 00:48:18.639
 and

00:48:18.639 --> 00:48:18.779
 then

00:48:18.779 --> 00:48:19.000
 God

00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:19.519
 abolishes

00:48:19.519 --> 00:48:19.739
 it

00:48:19.739 --> 00:48:19.900
 with

00:48:19.900 --> 00:48:20.019
 the

00:48:20.019 --> 00:48:20.259
 coming

00:48:20.259 --> 00:48:20.420
 of

00:48:20.420 --> 00:48:20.679
 Jesus

00:48:20.679 --> 00:48:21.219
 so

00:48:21.219 --> 00:48:21.500
 yes

00:48:21.500 --> 00:48:21.739
 there's

00:48:21.739 --> 00:48:22.099
 prejudice

00:48:22.099 --> 00:48:22.400
 that's

00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:22.559
 what's

00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:22.860
 common

00:48:22.860 --> 00:48:23.820
 with that

00:48:23.820 --> 00:48:24.179
 movement

00:48:24.179 --> 00:48:25.019
 or that

00:48:25.019 --> 00:48:25.579
 line of

00:48:25.579 --> 00:48:25.820
 thought

00:48:25.820 --> 00:48:26.719
 but

00:48:26.719 --> 00:48:28.559
 this is

00:48:28.559 --> 00:48:28.820
 not

00:48:28.820 --> 00:48:29.279
 comparable

00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:31.019
 and

00:48:31.019 --> 00:48:31.400
 I say

00:48:31.400 --> 00:48:31.640
 that

00:48:31.640 --> 00:48:31.800
 to

00:48:31.800 --> 00:48:31.940
 say

00:48:31.940 --> 00:48:33.140
 if

00:48:33.140 --> 00:48:33.500
 God

00:48:33.500 --> 00:48:33.940
 removed

00:48:33.940 --> 00:48:34.120
 the

00:48:34.120 --> 00:48:34.440
 divide

00:48:34.440 --> 00:48:34.720
 between

00:48:34.720 --> 00:48:34.900
 the

00:48:34.900 --> 00:48:35.100
 Jews

00:48:35.100 --> 00:48:35.240
 and

00:48:35.240 --> 00:48:35.380
 the

00:48:35.380 --> 00:48:36.040
 Gentiles

00:48:36.040 --> 00:48:36.720
 what

00:48:36.720 --> 00:48:37.160
 divide

00:48:37.160 --> 00:48:37.460
 are you

00:48:37.460 --> 00:48:37.720
 putting

00:48:37.720 --> 00:48:37.940
 up

00:48:37.940 --> 00:48:38.180
 right

00:48:38.180 --> 00:48:38.620
 now

00:48:38.620 --> 00:48:38.980
 between

00:48:38.980 --> 00:48:39.180
 you

00:48:39.180 --> 00:48:39.260
 and

00:48:39.260 --> 00:48:39.460
 another

00:48:39.460 --> 00:48:39.740
 people

00:48:39.740 --> 00:48:40.060
 group

00:48:40.060 --> 00:48:41.660
 someone

00:48:41.660 --> 00:48:42.500
 who's

00:48:42.500 --> 00:48:42.680
 of a

00:48:42.680 --> 00:48:42.840
 different

00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:43.340
 culture

00:48:43.340 --> 00:48:43.780
 someone

00:48:43.780 --> 00:48:44.560
 who's

00:48:44.560 --> 00:48:44.780
 of

00:48:44.780 --> 00:48:45.000
 different

00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:45.760
 traditions

00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:46.320
 are you

00:48:46.320 --> 00:48:46.580
 putting

00:48:46.580 --> 00:48:46.720
 that

00:48:46.720 --> 00:48:46.860
 if

00:48:46.860 --> 00:48:47.200
 God

00:48:47.200 --> 00:48:47.600
 hasn't

00:48:47.600 --> 00:48:48.140
 are you

00:48:48.140 --> 00:48:48.420
 doing

00:48:48.420 --> 00:48:48.560
 it

00:48:48.560 --> 00:48:48.720
 right

00:48:48.720 --> 00:48:49.019
 now

00:48:49.019 --> 00:48:51.800
 and

00:48:51.800 --> 00:48:52.039
 I'm

00:48:52.039 --> 00:48:52.440
 asking

00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:53.199
 do

00:48:53.199 --> 00:48:53.579
 we

00:48:53.579 --> 00:48:54.000
 mirror

00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:54.380
 this

00:48:54.380 --> 00:48:54.659
 God

00:48:54.659 --> 00:48:54.920
 has

00:48:54.920 --> 00:48:55.219
 this

00:48:55.219 --> 00:48:55.759
 relentless

00:48:55.759 --> 00:48:56.440
 pursuit

00:48:56.440 --> 00:48:56.679
 of

00:48:56.679 --> 00:48:57.019
 sinners

00:48:57.019 --> 00:48:58.280
 do

00:48:58.280 --> 00:48:58.440
 you

00:48:58.440 --> 00:48:58.639
 see

00:48:58.639 --> 00:48:58.800
 that

00:48:58.800 --> 00:48:58.900
 in

 your
