00:00:22.620 --> 00:00:31.359
 Today's scripture reading is from the Gospel of John, chapter 4, verses 46 to 54, as printed

00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:32.120
 in the liturgy.

00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:36.280
 A reading from the Gospel according to John.

00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:42.780
 Once more he visited Cana and Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine.

00:00:43.400 --> 00:00:47.480
 And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum.

00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:53.619
 When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged

00:00:53.619 --> 00:00:56.699
 him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.

00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:03.199
 Unless you people see signs and wonders, Jesus told him, you will never believe.

00:01:04.099 --> 00:01:08.219
 The royal official said, Sir, come down before my child dies.

00:01:09.420 --> 00:01:11.079
 Go, Jesus replied.

00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:12.920
 Your son will live.

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.400
 The man took Jesus at his word and departed.

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:21.840
 While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living.

00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:27.600
 When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, yesterday, at

00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:29.540
 one in the afternoon, the fever left him.

00:01:30.420 --> 00:01:35.880
 Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, your son

00:01:35.880 --> 00:01:36.360
 will live.

00:01:37.020 --> 00:01:39.580
 So he and his whole household believed.

00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:45.160
 This was the second sign Jesus performed after coming from Judea to Galilee.

00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:47.979
 This is the gospel of the Lord.

00:01:48.659 --> 00:01:50.319
 Praise to you, O Christ.

00:01:50.319 --> 00:02:08.060
 Good morning, Christ Church.

00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:12.519
 We are continuing in the gospel of John today.

00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:17.260
 And I have to say that this passage is a hard passage to preach.

00:02:18.180 --> 00:02:25.280
 Because if you're new with us, about 10 weeks ago, we lost Isaac Lee, a beloved son of Christ

00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:25.840
 Church.

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:29.620
 His first child we baptized in our church.

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.400
 A pillar in our youth group.

00:02:31.500 --> 00:02:35.660
 We learned that he was sick.

00:02:35.659 --> 00:02:37.139
 And some of you came.

00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.159
 We gathered together to pray right up there.

00:02:40.780 --> 00:02:43.419
 And we begged God to heal him.

00:02:44.099 --> 00:02:46.340
 And he went to be with the Lord.

00:02:46.939 --> 00:02:51.599
 And we've been grieving with his family, with his parents and his siblings.

00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:58.019
 And it's been tough for me to read the story this week about this healing of the sickness

00:02:58.019 --> 00:03:06.139
 of the son that Jesus pulled back from the brink of death when our experience so recently

00:03:06.139 --> 00:03:07.560
 in our church was just so different.

00:03:07.780 --> 00:03:10.000
 So Brian and Sam know this.

00:03:10.060 --> 00:03:11.459
 I hope Jack and Juliet know it.

00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:12.379
 I hope all of you know it.

00:03:12.419 --> 00:03:14.299
 That that's the tension in my heart.

00:03:14.300 --> 00:03:19.980
 The grief that I bring very close to my heart as I read and preach this text today.

00:03:20.020 --> 00:03:24.620
 And I hope to circle back to that tension and that grief at the end of the sermon.

00:03:25.580 --> 00:03:31.220
 But I want to ask, you know, why did John give us this story in his gospel anyway?

00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:35.420
 The Gospel of John is a book about faith.

00:03:35.740 --> 00:03:42.920
 And we assume that the Apostle John had been asked many, many times, you know, what is the

00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:43.599
 Christian faith?

00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.579
 What is the path to faith?

00:03:46.619 --> 00:03:54.739
 And out of his vast catalog of files that he had on Jesus, John gathered together the

00:03:54.739 --> 00:03:59.719
 stories that are in this little booklet that he wrote to answer many of the questions that

00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:01.679
 we have about faith.

00:04:01.819 --> 00:04:06.679
 John gathers together stories from people who were there at the Jordan River when Jesus

00:04:06.679 --> 00:04:10.679
 underwent baptism and began to call his first disciples.

00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:15.140
 He went and gathered the stories of the people who were at that wedding in Cana where Jesus

00:04:15.140 --> 00:04:16.819
 turned the water into wine.

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:21.560
 And he talked to the people and interviewed the folks who were there in Jerusalem at the

00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:23.600
 temple when Jesus cleared it out.

00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:28.620
 And he said, you know, I am now the meeting place between God and his people.

00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:32.740
 He went and interviewed Nicodemus and his family and his students.

00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:33.720
 And he asked them more.

00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:40.180
 What did Jesus mean when he said he was the one to bring the new birth from above by the Holy

00:04:40.180 --> 00:04:40.579
 Spirit?

00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:46.680
 He went and talked to that woman in Samaria and her whole village that came to discover

00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.360
 Jesus as the living water and the Savior of the world.

00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:55.160
 That's why he's put all these stories in this little booklet for us.

00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.899
 And he actually tells us this at the end of the book.

00:04:58.899 --> 00:05:05.939
 If you want to turn to John 20, John chapter 20, verse 30, he tells us the point of writing

00:05:05.939 --> 00:05:06.500
 this book.

00:05:06.579 --> 00:05:11.639
 He says, Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are

00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:13.339
 not recorded in this book.

00:05:13.819 --> 00:05:20.079
 But these signs are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God,

00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:24.360
 and that by believing, you may have life in his name.

00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:26.560
 So this is a book about belief.

00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:32.300
 It's a book about faith and the eternal life that comes through faith in Jesus.

00:05:32.300 --> 00:05:37.560
 And of all the stories that John had on file, why did he choose this one about the healing

00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:39.139
 of the official son?

00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:43.220
 Well, you'll notice that that word belief occurs three times here.

00:05:43.280 --> 00:05:47.800
 In verse 48, Jesus talks about how you will never believe.

00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:52.360
 Verse 50, it says the man took Jesus at his word.

00:05:52.420 --> 00:05:54.819
 Or in the Greek, it says he believed Jesus' word.

00:05:55.540 --> 00:05:59.560
 And then in verse 53, it says, so he and his whole household believed.

00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:07.319
 The story was written down for us and our questions as a signpost pointing us to what real faith,

00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:14.100
 deep faith, life-saving, life-giving faith is all about.

00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:19.840
 And so what I want to talk about a little bit this morning is how Jesus challenges our faith,

00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:24.600
 gives us his word, and heals our bodies.

00:06:25.180 --> 00:06:26.959
 That's what I think this story is about.

00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:32.839
 That Jesus challenges our faith, gives us his word, and heals our bodies.

00:06:33.539 --> 00:06:36.719
 Let's think for a minute about how Jesus challenges our faith.

00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:39.259
 This is an urgent moment.

00:06:40.180 --> 00:06:41.399
 This young man is sick.

00:06:41.479 --> 00:06:42.459
 He's close to death.

00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:44.159
 The doctors say it's hopeless.

00:06:45.099 --> 00:06:52.459
 And agony, powerlessness, and desperation has settled in upon his family and his friends.

00:06:52.459 --> 00:07:01.099
 And yet there is this glimmer of hope because it's reported that Jesus is back from the Passover at Jerusalem.

00:07:01.099 --> 00:07:03.859
 And everybody's talking about his power.

00:07:03.979 --> 00:07:08.579
 And so hearing this news, the boy's father takes courage.

00:07:08.699 --> 00:07:12.079
 He takes action because there's not a moment to lose.

00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:27.979
 Life-giving faith starts with reason.

00:07:28.779 --> 00:07:30.419
 It starts with our minds.

00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.159
 It starts with thinking and our rationality.

00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:34.980
 Why did this guy go to Jesus?

00:07:35.080 --> 00:07:37.880
 Because he had heard the reports about Jesus.

00:07:37.960 --> 00:07:40.380
 We didn't print this verse, but it says in verse 45,

00:07:41.320 --> 00:07:44.200
 When Jesus arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him.

00:07:44.700 --> 00:07:48.080
 They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover festival,

00:07:48.460 --> 00:07:49.960
 for they also had been there.

00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:54.140
 And once more, he, Jesus, visited Cana in Galilee,

00:07:54.180 --> 00:07:56.980
 where he had turned the water into wine.

00:07:56.980 --> 00:08:02.840
 So Jesus is doing wonderful works, mighty deeds, public miracles,

00:08:02.840 --> 00:08:04.740
 and the word is beginning to spread.

00:08:04.840 --> 00:08:08.420
 Perhaps even people that this man knew and trusted,

00:08:08.540 --> 00:08:12.300
 they're saying, we've seen Jesus with our own eyes.

00:08:13.100 --> 00:08:15.040
 And this man would not have gone to Jesus

00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:19.600
 unless he had heard and weighed the evidence of those reports.

00:08:20.580 --> 00:08:24.200
 So I want to say today that faith moves beyond reason,

00:08:24.200 --> 00:08:26.720
 but faith always starts with reason.

00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:29.660
 Most of the things that we believe,

00:08:29.780 --> 00:08:31.580
 we take on the authority of other people.

00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.940
 We believe the authority of reports from historians and scientists

00:08:35.940 --> 00:08:39.320
 and sociologists and psychologists and journalists,

00:08:39.560 --> 00:08:42.279
 and maybe even our uncle posting on Facebook.

00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:47.379
 But that's, you know, we have to sift through all these things.

00:08:47.460 --> 00:08:49.240
 We have to sift through these reports

00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.100
 with our reason to see if they're reliable,

00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:55.320
 to see if they're believable.

00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:57.160
 Maybe our uncle posting on Facebook

00:08:57.160 --> 00:08:59.620
 isn't somebody worth listening to after all.

00:09:00.940 --> 00:09:04.240
 But that's why we go through the Gospels on a regular basis,

00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:07.080
 because we want you to be able to hear directly

00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:10.640
 from these eyewitnesses and weigh the reports

00:09:10.640 --> 00:09:14.100
 and decide for yourself whether or not they're trustworthy.

00:09:14.379 --> 00:09:15.460
 And that's what this guy does.

00:09:15.540 --> 00:09:18.400
 He takes the first baby step of faith

00:09:18.400 --> 00:09:22.440
 based on those reports, and he goes to Jesus.

00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:25.360
 But Jesus, of course, wants more than that.

00:09:26.560 --> 00:09:29.180
 And so we hear him say in verse 48,

00:09:29.280 --> 00:09:31.420
 unless you people see signs and wonders,

00:09:31.800 --> 00:09:33.200
 you will never believe.

00:09:34.340 --> 00:09:36.280
 Now, I'm 100% confident

00:09:36.280 --> 00:09:40.780
 that none of us would like Jesus and the apostles

00:09:40.780 --> 00:09:43.320
 as much as we think we would like them, right?

00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:45.900
 Because of stuff like this.

00:09:46.680 --> 00:09:49.320
 They're constantly saying things that are off-putting,

00:09:49.980 --> 00:09:52.480
 that disturb us and make us uncomfortable

00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:55.220
 and maybe even offend us.

00:09:55.220 --> 00:09:59.080
 No writer of fiction that's aware of Jesus' compassion

00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:02.300
 would come up with this sharp rejoinder

00:10:02.300 --> 00:10:05.860
 that seems harsh and maybe even cruel,

00:10:05.860 --> 00:10:08.560
 because here's this desperate man in agony,

00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:13.500
 and he's begging, please come and heal my dear son

00:10:13.500 --> 00:10:14.500
 who's dying.

00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:20.099
 Why does Jesus respond to his first baby step of faith

00:10:20.099 --> 00:10:21.119
 like this?

00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:25.419
 Well, first of all, Jesus says you, plural, not singular,

00:10:25.599 --> 00:10:26.859
 which kind of softens the blow.

00:10:27.699 --> 00:10:31.479
 He says you all, y'all, you people are all the same

00:10:31.479 --> 00:10:34.719
 unless you see, you'll never really believe.

00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:38.800
 And Jesus is not here against the need

00:10:38.800 --> 00:10:40.920
 for proper and substantial evidence

00:10:40.920 --> 00:10:43.779
 to be presented to our rational mind.

00:10:43.860 --> 00:10:46.660
 He's not saying you just need to be persuaded

00:10:46.660 --> 00:10:50.000
 without any facts, because we're told in verse 54

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.800
 that this was the second sign Jesus performed

00:10:52.800 --> 00:10:56.600
 after coming from Judea to Galilee.

00:10:57.300 --> 00:10:59.000
 Jesus knows that we need signs,

00:10:59.060 --> 00:11:00.680
 and that's why he gives us signs.

00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:03.620
 So what is Jesus challenging here?

00:11:03.620 --> 00:11:07.060
 I think he's challenging superficiality.

00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:12.120
 I think he's challenging shallow, surface-level faith.

00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.060
 Think to Jesus teaching on the parable of the sower,

00:11:16.419 --> 00:11:19.560
 and he talks about how those seeds are scattered

00:11:19.560 --> 00:11:21.419
 in that second type of soil,

00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:24.500
 and what happens is they sprout up quickly,

00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:26.720
 and it seems like faith,

00:11:27.379 --> 00:11:29.919
 but there are actually no roots.

00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:31.759
 There's no depth.

00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.620
 It's not gone to the inmost heart.

00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:36.299
 It's shallow.

00:11:37.319 --> 00:11:39.360
 And so Jesus says when the heat comes,

00:11:39.419 --> 00:11:41.139
 when the trouble comes,

00:11:41.139 --> 00:11:44.039
 that shallow faith becomes scorched and withered

00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:48.519
 and falls away because it has no roots,

00:11:48.620 --> 00:11:50.700
 and therefore it can bear no fruit.

00:11:51.659 --> 00:11:53.500
 And Jesus there in his teaching

00:11:53.500 --> 00:11:55.000
 is helping us distinguish

00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.819
 between superficial faith and deep faith,

00:11:57.820 --> 00:12:01.500
 between temporary faith and lasting faith.

00:12:02.180 --> 00:12:05.280
 And I think what he's saying to this guy in verse 48 is,

00:12:05.640 --> 00:12:07.440
 have you come to me because you think

00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:09.680
 that I'm just a conduit of power

00:12:09.680 --> 00:12:11.460
 that responds to foxhole prayers?

00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:14.460
 Do you think I'm a Messiah

00:12:14.460 --> 00:12:16.580
 who just performs on-demand miracles?

00:12:17.260 --> 00:12:20.940
 Have you come to use my supernatural power

00:12:20.940 --> 00:12:24.240
 to get what you want and what will benefit you?

00:12:24.900 --> 00:12:27.180
 Or do you want me?

00:12:28.160 --> 00:12:30.500
 Do you want a relationship with me

00:12:30.500 --> 00:12:32.580
 whether I heal your son or not?

00:12:33.920 --> 00:12:35.040
 See, Jesus is saying,

00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:36.100
 I want a belief.

00:12:36.680 --> 00:12:39.220
 I want a faith that's not about the signs

00:12:39.220 --> 00:12:41.280
 and not about what I can do for you.

00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:43.280
 I want a belief and a faith

00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:47.299
 that moves toward what all the signs are pointing to,

00:12:48.459 --> 00:12:50.519
 namely, me.

00:12:52.860 --> 00:12:54.480
 This is challenging, isn't it?

00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:56.459
 Jesus is saying,

00:12:56.620 --> 00:12:58.699
 I don't just want to physically heal your son,

00:12:58.899 --> 00:13:01.120
 I want to spiritually heal you.

00:13:02.419 --> 00:13:04.079
 And it's a massive challenge.

00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:04.919
 It's a massive test.

00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:06.600
 He's drawing this guy out.

00:13:07.199 --> 00:13:08.679
 He's seeing what's in his heart.

00:13:09.100 --> 00:13:10.899
 And what comes out of his heart next

00:13:10.899 --> 00:13:12.419
 is absolutely amazing.

00:13:12.419 --> 00:13:13.379
 Verse 49,

00:13:13.599 --> 00:13:14.659
 the royal official said,

00:13:14.860 --> 00:13:15.179
 Sir,

00:13:15.899 --> 00:13:16.539
 sir,

00:13:16.719 --> 00:13:19.839
 come down before my child dies.

00:13:20.959 --> 00:13:21.519
 Sir,

00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:23.299
 he's respectful.

00:13:23.539 --> 00:13:24.459
 He's humble.

00:13:25.299 --> 00:13:26.579
 Come down, please.

00:13:26.719 --> 00:13:28.459
 He's dogged and persistent.

00:13:28.620 --> 00:13:30.159
 He prayed once

00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:31.519
 and Jesus put him off.

00:13:32.479 --> 00:13:33.979
 And so he doesn't stop praying.

00:13:33.979 --> 00:13:36.379
 He keeps praying persistently,

00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:37.219
 coming back.

00:13:37.319 --> 00:13:40.059
 That's his second step of faith.

00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:41.839
 And I wonder if you're ready today

00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:43.500
 wherever you're coming from

00:13:43.500 --> 00:13:46.519
 to take that first baby step of faith,

00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.780
 to just look directly at the evidence for yourself,

00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:52.200
 to weigh these reports about Jesus.

00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:53.519
 If you've never done that,

00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:56.180
 we're so glad that you're here.

00:13:56.220 --> 00:13:57.560
 And we would invite you to come

00:13:57.560 --> 00:14:00.280
 on Wednesday nights to Christianity Explored.

00:14:00.340 --> 00:14:01.780
 We're looking at the Gospel of Mark.

00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:03.379
 It's a gospel.

00:14:03.500 --> 00:14:05.040
 You can read it in about 45 minutes

00:14:05.040 --> 00:14:06.080
 over a cup of coffee.

00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:07.560
 And we're reading it,

00:14:07.620 --> 00:14:08.400
 asking questions,

00:14:08.540 --> 00:14:09.280
 watching videos,

00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:10.620
 engaging discussions about it.

00:14:10.660 --> 00:14:12.280
 If you can't join us on Wednesday nights,

00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:13.580
 we encourage you to join in

00:14:13.580 --> 00:14:16.280
 to our daily Bible reading plan

00:14:16.280 --> 00:14:17.420
 in the Gospel of John

00:14:17.420 --> 00:14:19.200
 and just see for yourself

00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:21.780
 whether this eyewitness testimony

00:14:21.780 --> 00:14:23.500
 about Jesus is reliable,

00:14:24.139 --> 00:14:24.500
 trustworthy,

00:14:25.139 --> 00:14:25.860
 and believable.

00:14:25.860 --> 00:14:29.820
 But if you've taken that first baby step of faith,

00:14:29.899 --> 00:14:30.940
 then are you ready to take

00:14:30.940 --> 00:14:34.000
 that second baby step of faith,

00:14:34.800 --> 00:14:37.680
 to move beyond superficial interest in Jesus

00:14:37.680 --> 00:14:39.919
 and going to Jesus

00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:42.220
 only for the benefits that he gives you?

00:14:43.019 --> 00:14:44.039
 Maybe some of you have said,

00:14:44.100 --> 00:14:45.560
 you know, I tried to pray once

00:14:45.560 --> 00:14:46.399
 and it didn't work,

00:14:46.419 --> 00:14:47.159
 so I stopped.

00:14:47.899 --> 00:14:49.080
 Or I went to Jesus

00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:50.899
 and I didn't really like what he said back,

00:14:50.940 --> 00:14:51.820
 so I quit going.

00:14:51.820 --> 00:14:56.080
 Are you willing to wrestle with Jesus like this man?

00:14:56.180 --> 00:14:57.520
 Are you willing to invest

00:14:57.520 --> 00:15:00.840
 in having a relationship with Jesus

00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:04.220
 even when he doesn't engage on your terms

00:15:04.220 --> 00:15:07.240
 or say the things you want him to say

00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:09.820
 or play by your rules?

00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:14.879
 That's the second step of life-giving faith.

00:15:16.280 --> 00:15:17.640
 You guys with me so far?

00:15:17.760 --> 00:15:20.880
 Jesus is challenging.

00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:23.600
 And Jesus challenges our faith.

00:15:24.179 --> 00:15:25.299
 But more than that,

00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:27.039
 Jesus not only challenges our faith,

00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:29.600
 he gives us his word.

00:15:30.379 --> 00:15:31.799
 He gives us his word.

00:15:32.779 --> 00:15:34.080
 How does Jesus respond

00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:36.519
 to this man's second prayer request?

00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:38.980
 Well, he tells him in verse 50,

00:15:39.139 --> 00:15:42.419
 go, your son will live.

00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:45.940
 Now we know more than this man knows,

00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:48.120
 but this is actually a higher challenge

00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:50.059
 than the first challenge that Jesus gave.

00:15:50.059 --> 00:15:52.079
 Because this man says,

00:15:52.219 --> 00:15:52.899
 please Jesus,

00:15:53.139 --> 00:15:54.019
 come with me

00:15:54.019 --> 00:15:56.639
 because you need to be physically present

00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:57.859
 to bring healing.

00:15:57.939 --> 00:15:58.959
 And if you're not there,

00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:00.539
 then there's no hope.

00:16:01.779 --> 00:16:03.759
 And Jesus makes this astounding,

00:16:03.939 --> 00:16:04.899
 astonishing claim.

00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:05.679
 He says, you know,

00:16:05.839 --> 00:16:07.399
 I don't need to go with you

00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:09.579
 because I'm so powerful

00:16:09.579 --> 00:16:11.979
 that I don't even need to be there.

00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:14.239
 I can just heal with a word.

00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:16.480
 And I give you my word.

00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:18.480
 I give you my word of honor.

00:16:18.539 --> 00:16:20.519
 I promise that I'll do it.

00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:21.759
 Who else can claim

00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:24.200
 that kind of ability

00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:25.700
 and authority

00:16:25.700 --> 00:16:28.220
 to give life?

00:16:29.220 --> 00:16:31.159
 Who can heal disease

00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:32.879
 and save from death

00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:34.940
 at a distance

00:16:34.940 --> 00:16:37.879
 and with only a word?

00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.960
 I would say only God.

00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:42.700
 Only God can do that.

00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:43.679
 Only the God who says,

00:16:43.939 --> 00:16:44.820
 let there be light

00:16:44.820 --> 00:16:46.159
 and there was light.

00:16:46.220 --> 00:16:47.220
 Only the God who has

00:16:47.220 --> 00:16:49.299
 light-making power

00:16:49.299 --> 00:16:50.799
 in his word.

00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:53.320
 And that's what Jesus is claiming here.

00:16:53.379 --> 00:16:54.820
 He's claiming creator-like,

00:16:55.299 --> 00:16:55.879
 life-giving power.

00:16:56.700 --> 00:16:58.419
 You don't need my physical presence

00:16:58.419 --> 00:16:59.759
 to experience my power.

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:01.240
 I can heal my sick,

00:17:01.620 --> 00:17:02.000
 sinful,

00:17:02.500 --> 00:17:02.820
 broken,

00:17:03.299 --> 00:17:04.240
 dying creatures

00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:05.200
 that I created

00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:06.099
 from anywhere

00:17:06.099 --> 00:17:07.359
 with a word.

00:17:08.700 --> 00:17:09.559
 Now you gotta remember

00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:10.799
 that John is writing

00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:12.420
 his gospel

00:17:12.420 --> 00:17:13.039
 to people

00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:14.920
 who can't see Jesus.

00:17:15.099 --> 00:17:16.200
 Jesus is resurrected

00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:17.200
 and he's ascended

00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:17.920
 into heaven

00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:19.559
 and people around John

00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:19.960
 are saying,

00:17:20.140 --> 00:17:21.299
 how can we put our faith

00:17:21.299 --> 00:17:21.799
 in Jesus?

00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:23.180
 How can we put our trust

00:17:23.180 --> 00:17:24.140
 in a Jesus

00:17:24.140 --> 00:17:25.539
 that we cannot see?

00:17:26.940 --> 00:17:27.859
 And this story

00:17:27.859 --> 00:17:29.059
 is here to tell us

00:17:29.059 --> 00:17:30.000
 that we don't need

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:31.279
 to have the physical presence

00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:31.839
 of Jesus

00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:33.440
 to become a believer.

00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:34.480
 what we need

00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:35.559
 is the word

00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:36.600
 of Christ.

00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:39.299
 And we have

00:17:39.299 --> 00:17:40.320
 many of the words

00:17:40.320 --> 00:17:40.920
 of Christ

00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:42.820
 in our Bibles.

00:17:43.740 --> 00:17:44.120
 Right?

00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:46.000
 The question is,

00:17:46.100 --> 00:17:47.660
 do we read them?

00:17:49.120 --> 00:17:50.940
 Do we even know them?

00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:52.759
 And then,

00:17:52.840 --> 00:17:53.779
 if we know them,

00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:55.860
 will we believe them?

00:17:56.620 --> 00:17:58.160
 And will we trust

00:17:58.160 --> 00:17:59.039
 these promises

00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:00.180
 and will we obey

00:18:00.180 --> 00:18:01.360
 these commands?

00:18:01.580 --> 00:18:03.200
 That's what faith

00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:03.720
 is about.

00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:05.880
 Jesus challenges

00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:06.680
 and he tests

00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:08.000
 this man a second time

00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:08.860
 and basically

00:18:08.860 --> 00:18:09.660
 he's saying to himself,

00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:09.920
 okay,

00:18:09.980 --> 00:18:11.680
 if Jesus can't do

00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:12.539
 what he just said

00:18:12.539 --> 00:18:13.240
 he can do,

00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:15.380
 if he does not have

00:18:15.380 --> 00:18:15.920
 the power

00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:16.920
 that no one else

00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:17.819
 has ever claimed

00:18:17.819 --> 00:18:18.700
 to have,

00:18:18.779 --> 00:18:19.519
 then my son

00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:20.400
 has no hope.

00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:21.480
 So am I going to trust

00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:23.220
 my present

00:18:23.220 --> 00:18:23.920
 and my future?

00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:24.680
 Am I going to trust

00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:25.860
 my son's life

00:18:25.860 --> 00:18:26.740
 to this incredible

00:18:26.740 --> 00:18:27.860
 claim of Jesus

00:18:27.860 --> 00:18:30.100
 that he's the life giver?

00:18:30.099 --> 00:18:30.719
 Remember,

00:18:31.619 --> 00:18:32.199
 imagine,

00:18:32.679 --> 00:18:34.679
 imagine the scene

00:18:34.679 --> 00:18:36.799
 where he to arrive home

00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:37.500
 and his wife

00:18:37.500 --> 00:18:38.079
 and his servants

00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:38.539
 are like,

00:18:38.859 --> 00:18:40.179
 where's the healer?

00:18:41.619 --> 00:18:43.839
 You had one job.

00:18:45.019 --> 00:18:46.179
 Where's the healer?

00:18:47.379 --> 00:18:47.959
 I mean,

00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:50.279
 if he goes home

00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:52.199
 with only a word

00:18:52.199 --> 00:18:52.779
 of promise,

00:18:52.779 --> 00:18:53.779
 how foolish

00:18:53.779 --> 00:18:55.659
 is he going to look

00:18:55.660 --> 00:18:56.700
 in the eyes

00:18:56.700 --> 00:18:57.440
 of everybody

00:18:57.440 --> 00:18:58.420
 in his household

00:18:58.420 --> 00:18:59.980
 and in his village?

00:19:00.820 --> 00:19:01.820
 And how many of us

00:19:01.820 --> 00:19:03.100
 are super excited

00:19:03.100 --> 00:19:04.240
 to look like a fool

00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:05.720
 in the eyes of others?

00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:07.660
 But friends,

00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:08.980
 that's what faith is about.

00:19:10.460 --> 00:19:11.100
 Faith means

00:19:11.100 --> 00:19:12.140
 taking the risk

00:19:12.140 --> 00:19:14.120
 of looking foolish.

00:19:15.580 --> 00:19:16.700
 And that's the risk

00:19:16.700 --> 00:19:17.220
 he takes.

00:19:17.300 --> 00:19:17.920
 In verse 50,

00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:18.320
 it says,

00:19:18.320 --> 00:19:20.160
 the man took Jesus

00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:21.600
 at his word

00:19:21.600 --> 00:19:22.759
 and departed.

00:19:23.700 --> 00:19:25.080
 The man believed

00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:26.240
 Jesus' word

00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:28.019
 and he went home.

00:19:28.099 --> 00:19:29.059
 That's the third

00:19:29.059 --> 00:19:30.299
 baby step

00:19:30.299 --> 00:19:31.159
 of faith.

00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:32.460
 Faith is taking Jesus

00:19:32.460 --> 00:19:33.599
 at his word

00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:35.079
 and then living your life

00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:36.079
 according to it.

00:19:37.099 --> 00:19:38.199
 He acts.

00:19:38.919 --> 00:19:39.939
 He moves.

00:19:40.679 --> 00:19:41.399
 Jesus speaks

00:19:41.399 --> 00:19:42.179
 and he begins

00:19:42.179 --> 00:19:43.139
 to walk

00:19:43.139 --> 00:19:43.980
 home.

00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:46.119
 Faith is going

00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:47.359
 each morning

00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:49.319
 to Jesus' teachings,

00:19:49.939 --> 00:19:51.339
 to his words,

00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:53.319
 to his promises,

00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:55.319
 to his commands

00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:55.980
 and saying

00:19:55.980 --> 00:19:56.819
 to ourselves,

00:19:57.319 --> 00:19:58.339
 these are going

00:19:58.339 --> 00:19:59.759
 to be the very words

00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:01.279
 by which I live

00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:02.259
 my life.

00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:04.319
 And when you

00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:05.099
 do that,

00:20:05.679 --> 00:20:06.359
 you know

00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:07.299
 that like this man,

00:20:07.379 --> 00:20:07.939
 you're moving

00:20:07.939 --> 00:20:09.579
 from rationalistic belief

00:20:09.579 --> 00:20:11.200
 that Jesus exists

00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:13.359
 to a personal

00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:14.619
 trust in Jesus.

00:20:15.659 --> 00:20:16.539
 You're moving

00:20:16.539 --> 00:20:17.480
 from intellectual

00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:18.000
 assent

00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:18.539
 that Jesus

00:20:18.539 --> 00:20:19.439
 has power

00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:20.680
 to actually

00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:21.380
 entrusting

00:20:21.380 --> 00:20:22.620
 the details

00:20:22.620 --> 00:20:23.320
 of your life

00:20:23.320 --> 00:20:24.200
 to him.

00:20:25.080 --> 00:20:25.480
 Right?

00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:25.960
 You're moving

00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:26.880
 from knowing

00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:28.080
 about Jesus

00:20:28.080 --> 00:20:29.680
 to staking

00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:30.360
 your life

00:20:30.360 --> 00:20:31.860
 on Jesus.

00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:33.360
 Does that make sense?

00:20:33.980 --> 00:20:34.500
 You're moving

00:20:34.500 --> 00:20:34.920
 from saying,

00:20:35.059 --> 00:20:35.180
 okay,

00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:36.220
 that chair

00:20:36.220 --> 00:20:38.320
 will probably

00:20:38.320 --> 00:20:39.080
 hold me up

00:20:39.080 --> 00:20:39.940
 if I took the risk

00:20:39.940 --> 00:20:40.580
 to sit down

00:20:40.580 --> 00:20:40.920
 in it

00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:42.200
 to actually

00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:42.960
 going over

00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:43.720
 and putting

00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:45.160
 the full weight

00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:45.900
 of your life

00:20:45.900 --> 00:20:46.680
 on that chair

00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:47.380
 and maybe

00:20:47.380 --> 00:20:47.740
 it won't

00:20:47.740 --> 00:20:48.400
 hold you up.

00:20:49.060 --> 00:20:49.779
 Maybe you'll

00:20:49.779 --> 00:20:50.279
 fall down.

00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:50.799
 Maybe you'll

00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:51.500
 look like a fool

00:20:51.500 --> 00:20:52.060
 or maybe

00:20:52.060 --> 00:20:53.000
 you won't.

00:20:53.820 --> 00:20:54.420
 That's what

00:20:54.420 --> 00:20:55.860
 faith is all

00:20:55.860 --> 00:20:56.240
 about.

00:20:57.580 --> 00:20:58.480
 There are many,

00:20:58.560 --> 00:20:59.560
 many nominal

00:20:59.560 --> 00:21:00.320
 Christians,

00:21:01.140 --> 00:21:01.340
 right?

00:21:01.380 --> 00:21:01.920
 And nominal

00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:03.039
 Christians believe

00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:04.500
 some of the stuff

00:21:04.500 --> 00:21:05.279
 that they like

00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:06.080
 in Christianity,

00:21:06.740 --> 00:21:07.640
 kind of conveniently

00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:08.720
 they pick out

00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:09.400
 the things that

00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:09.920
 sort of fit

00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:10.360
 with what they

00:21:10.360 --> 00:21:11.140
 already believed,

00:21:11.460 --> 00:21:12.840
 but they're not

00:21:12.840 --> 00:21:13.620
 actually trusting

00:21:13.620 --> 00:21:14.140
 their life

00:21:14.140 --> 00:21:14.680
 to Jesus.

00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:16.900
 Tons and tons

00:21:16.900 --> 00:21:17.480
 of people

00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:19.500
 believe in Jesus,

00:21:19.900 --> 00:21:20.560
 but what do they

00:21:20.560 --> 00:21:20.900
 trust?

00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:21.500
 They trust their

00:21:21.500 --> 00:21:21.799
 money.

00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:23.259
 They trust

00:21:23.259 --> 00:21:23.700
 themselves.

00:21:23.779 --> 00:21:24.360
 They trust a whole

00:21:24.360 --> 00:21:25.320
 host of things

00:21:25.320 --> 00:21:26.440
 other than Jesus

00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:27.580
 and Jesus is saying,

00:21:28.140 --> 00:21:28.700
 I want you to

00:21:28.700 --> 00:21:30.460
 trust your whole

00:21:30.460 --> 00:21:32.240
 life to my

00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:33.779
 claims and

00:21:33.779 --> 00:21:34.620
 to my words

00:21:34.620 --> 00:21:36.140
 and to my

00:21:36.140 --> 00:21:36.580
 promises.

00:21:36.740 --> 00:21:37.200
 And when this

00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:37.880
 man puts

00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:39.160
 Christ's word

00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:39.840
 to the test

00:21:39.840 --> 00:21:40.440
 and he found

00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:41.160
 the result

00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:41.740
 that Jesus

00:21:41.740 --> 00:21:42.759
 is the one

00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:43.539
 who gives

00:21:43.539 --> 00:21:44.019
 life,

00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:45.320
 it pushed

00:21:45.320 --> 00:21:45.660
 him all

00:21:45.660 --> 00:21:45.900
 the way

00:21:45.900 --> 00:21:46.160
 to that

00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:46.640
 fourth

00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:47.779
 baby step

00:21:47.779 --> 00:21:48.320
 of faith

00:21:48.320 --> 00:21:48.660
 and he

00:21:48.660 --> 00:21:49.200
 became a

00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:49.759
 convinced

00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:51.220
 and convicted

00:21:51.220 --> 00:21:52.420
 believer

00:21:52.420 --> 00:21:53.620
 with his

00:21:53.620 --> 00:21:54.299
 whole household

00:21:54.299 --> 00:21:54.860
 it says.

00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:56.720
 So are you

00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:57.900
 ready today

00:21:57.900 --> 00:21:58.620
 to take that

00:21:58.620 --> 00:21:59.440
 third baby

00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:00.460
 step of faith

00:22:00.460 --> 00:22:00.759
 where you

00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:01.180
 don't just

00:22:01.180 --> 00:22:02.160
 say that

00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:02.779
 you believe

00:22:02.779 --> 00:22:03.320
 in Jesus

00:22:03.320 --> 00:22:04.940
 but you

00:22:04.940 --> 00:22:05.880
 actually listen

00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:06.279
 to his

00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:07.360
 words every

00:22:07.360 --> 00:22:07.600
 day,

00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:07.900
 that you

00:22:07.900 --> 00:22:08.380
 make it a

00:22:08.380 --> 00:22:08.980
 priority.

00:22:09.820 --> 00:22:10.660
 First thing

00:22:10.660 --> 00:22:11.160
 in the morning

00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:11.900
 to chew

00:22:11.900 --> 00:22:12.900
 and to

00:22:12.900 --> 00:22:13.540
 digest

00:22:13.540 --> 00:22:14.080
 his

00:22:14.080 --> 00:22:14.500
 words

00:22:14.500 --> 00:22:14.820
 and then

00:22:14.820 --> 00:22:15.340
 to ask

00:22:15.340 --> 00:22:15.660
 God

00:22:15.660 --> 00:22:16.540
 help me

00:22:16.540 --> 00:22:17.040
 believe

00:22:17.040 --> 00:22:17.340
 these

00:22:17.340 --> 00:22:17.680
 words

00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:18.140
 in such

00:22:18.140 --> 00:22:18.560
 a way

00:22:18.560 --> 00:22:19.259
 that I

00:22:19.259 --> 00:22:20.500
 change my

00:22:20.500 --> 00:22:21.000
 life

00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:21.660
 according

00:22:21.660 --> 00:22:22.880
 to them

00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:23.519
 no matter

00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:24.540
 how foolish

00:22:24.540 --> 00:22:25.600
 that might

00:22:25.600 --> 00:22:26.259
 make me

00:22:26.259 --> 00:22:27.280
 seem in the

00:22:27.280 --> 00:22:27.680
 eyes

00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:29.120
 of others.

00:22:32.120 --> 00:22:33.000
 Jesus will

00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:33.640
 kind of say

00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:34.120
 this again

00:22:34.120 --> 00:22:34.500
 at the end

00:22:34.500 --> 00:22:35.080
 of the gospel

00:22:35.080 --> 00:22:36.200
 when he's

00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:36.660
 talking to

00:22:36.660 --> 00:22:37.400
 doubting Thomas

00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:38.259
 in John 20

00:22:38.259 --> 00:22:39.859
 and he

00:22:39.859 --> 00:22:40.140
 says

00:22:40.140 --> 00:22:40.500
 Thomas

00:22:40.500 --> 00:22:40.900
 blessed

00:22:40.900 --> 00:22:41.619
 are those

00:22:41.619 --> 00:22:43.019
 who have

00:22:43.019 --> 00:22:44.079
 not seen

00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:45.660
 and yet

00:22:45.660 --> 00:22:46.339
 who have

00:22:46.339 --> 00:22:47.359
 believed

00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:48.700
 on the

00:22:48.700 --> 00:22:49.180
 basis of

00:22:49.180 --> 00:22:49.619
 my word

00:22:49.619 --> 00:22:49.879
 on the

00:22:49.879 --> 00:22:50.460
 basis of

00:22:50.460 --> 00:22:51.140
 the testimony

00:24:11.040 --> 00:24:11.860
 amazed

00:24:11.860 --> 00:24:13.320

00:24:13.320 --> 00:24:13.880
 she sends

 that her

00:24:16.700 --> 00:24:16.980
 son

00:24:16.980 --> 00:24:17.200
 is

00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:18.020
 perfectly

00:24:18.020 --> 00:24:18.880
 well

00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:20.360
 and the

00:24:20.360 --> 00:24:20.580
 man

00:24:20.580 --> 00:24:20.880
 begins

00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:21.340
 to cross

00:24:21.340 --> 00:24:21.720

00:24:22.500 --> 00:24:22.740
 well

00:24:22.740 --> 00:24:22.980
 when

00:24:23.620 --> 00:24:24.080
 recover

00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:24.880
 well

00:24:24.880 --> 00:24:25.200
 we think

00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:25.320
 it was

00:24:25.320 --> 00:24:25.560
 about

00:24:25.560 --> 00:24:26.080
 one

00:24:26.080 --> 00:24:26.600
 o'clock

00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:26.980
 in the

00:24:26.980 --> 00:24:27.379
 afternoon

00:24:27.379 --> 00:24:27.839
 yesterday

00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:28.559
 in the

00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:28.759
 heat

00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:29.000
 of the

00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:29.379
 day

00:24:29.379 --> 00:24:30.119
 and the

00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:30.279
 man

00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:30.500
 thinks

00:24:30.500 --> 00:24:30.859
 that's

00:24:30.859 --> 00:24:31.059
 when

00:24:31.059 --> 00:24:31.519
 Jesus

00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:32.519
 gave

00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:32.679
 me

00:24:32.679 --> 00:24:32.899
 his

00:24:32.899 --> 00:24:33.339
 word

00:24:33.339 --> 00:24:33.679
 of

00:24:33.679 --> 00:24:34.199
 promise

00:24:34.199 --> 00:24:35.519
 verse

00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:36.079
 53

00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:37.480
 then

00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:37.639
 the

00:24:37.639 --> 00:24:37.919
 father

00:24:37.919 --> 00:24:38.419
 realized

00:24:38.419 --> 00:24:38.599
 that

00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:38.740
 this

00:24:38.740 --> 00:24:38.899
 was

00:24:38.899 --> 00:24:39.079
 the

00:24:39.079 --> 00:24:39.519
 exact

00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:40.059
 time

00:24:40.059 --> 00:24:40.899
 at

00:24:40.899 --> 00:24:41.079
 which

00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:41.480
 Jesus

00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:41.740
 had

00:24:41.740 --> 00:24:41.919
 said

00:24:41.919 --> 00:24:42.059
 to

00:24:42.059 --> 00:24:42.259
 him

00:24:42.259 --> 00:24:42.419
 your

00:24:42.419 --> 00:24:42.879
 son

00:24:42.879 --> 00:24:43.539
 will

00:24:43.539 --> 00:24:43.859
 live

00:24:43.859 --> 00:24:44.019
 and

00:24:44.019 --> 00:24:44.259
 so

00:24:44.259 --> 00:24:44.699
 he

00:24:44.699 --> 00:24:45.259
 and

00:24:45.259 --> 00:24:45.399
 his

00:24:46.299 --> 00:24:47.819
 believed

00:24:47.819 --> 00:24:50.939
 he

00:24:50.939 --> 00:24:51.299
 now

00:24:51.299 --> 00:24:51.919
 has

00:24:51.919 --> 00:24:52.179
 taken

00:24:52.179 --> 00:24:52.399
 that

00:24:52.399 --> 00:24:52.859
 fourth

00:24:54.339 --> 00:24:54.839
 conviction

00:24:54.839 --> 00:24:56.899
 he's

00:24:56.899 --> 00:24:57.439
 convinced

00:24:57.439 --> 00:24:58.859

00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:00.220

00:25:09.819 --> 00:25:09.980
 that's

00:25:09.980 --> 00:25:10.220
 been on

00:25:10.220 --> 00:25:10.359
 my

00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:10.619
 heart

00:25:10.619 --> 00:25:10.779
 all

00:25:10.779 --> 00:25:11.059
 week

00:25:11.059 --> 00:25:11.240
 as

00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:11.480
 I've

00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:11.720
 been

00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:12.839
 thinking

00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:13.139
 about

00:25:13.139 --> 00:25:13.359
 this

00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:13.699
 healing

00:25:13.699 --> 00:25:13.919
 is

00:25:13.919 --> 00:25:14.059
 that

00:25:14.059 --> 00:25:14.220
 there

00:25:14.220 --> 00:25:14.379
 were

00:25:14.379 --> 00:25:14.799
 many

00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:15.099
 in

00:25:15.099 --> 00:25:15.599
 Israel

00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:16.779
 with

00:25:16.779 --> 00:25:17.079
 sick

00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:17.639
 bodies

00:25:17.639 --> 00:25:18.779
 that

00:25:18.779 --> 00:25:19.099
 Jesus

00:25:19.099 --> 00:25:19.559
 did

00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:19.879
 not

00:25:19.879 --> 00:25:20.339
 heal

00:25:20.339 --> 00:25:22.659
 I

00:25:22.659 --> 00:25:22.859
 think

00:25:22.859 --> 00:25:23.099
 of

00:25:23.099 --> 00:25:23.599
 Jairus'

00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:25.179
 daughter

00:25:25.179 --> 00:25:25.599
 Jairus

00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:25.980
 was the

00:25:25.980 --> 00:25:26.279
 synagogue

00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:26.879
 ruler

00:25:26.879 --> 00:25:28.339
 he was

00:25:28.339 --> 00:25:28.740
 the father

00:25:28.740 --> 00:25:29.000
 of a

00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:29.359
 12 year

00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:29.519
 old

00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:29.799
 daughter

00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:30.000
 who

00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:30.179
 was

00:25:30.179 --> 00:25:30.439
 also

00:25:30.439 --> 00:25:30.859
 dying

00:25:30.859 --> 00:25:31.079
 he

00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:31.439
 comes

00:25:31.439 --> 00:25:31.679
 and he

00:25:31.679 --> 00:25:32.139
 desperately

00:25:32.139 --> 00:25:33.199
 begs

00:25:33.199 --> 00:25:33.519
 Jesus

00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:34.220
 to come

00:25:34.220 --> 00:25:35.000
 and to

00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:35.299
 heal

00:25:35.299 --> 00:25:36.220
 and if

00:25:36.220 --> 00:25:36.439
 you know

00:25:36.439 --> 00:25:36.959
 the story

00:25:36.959 --> 00:25:37.939
 Jesus

00:25:37.939 --> 00:25:38.720
 delays

00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:40.579
 and because

00:25:40.579 --> 00:25:41.000
 Jesus

00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:41.439
 delays

00:25:41.439 --> 00:25:42.339
 this

00:25:42.339 --> 00:25:42.720
 daughter

00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:43.019
 like

00:25:43.019 --> 00:25:43.419
 many

00:25:43.419 --> 00:25:43.980
 others

00:25:43.980 --> 00:25:44.899
 died

00:25:44.899 --> 00:25:47.720
 but

00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:47.980
 Jesus

00:25:47.980 --> 00:25:48.559
 says

00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:49.399
 to this

00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:50.019
 man

00:25:50.019 --> 00:25:50.240
 to

00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:50.560
 Jairus

00:25:50.560 --> 00:25:50.680
 he

00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:50.900
 says

00:25:50.900 --> 00:25:51.060
 do

00:25:51.060 --> 00:25:51.380
 not

00:25:51.380 --> 00:25:52.180
 be

00:25:52.180 --> 00:25:52.600
 afraid

00:25:52.600 --> 00:25:52.940
 just

00:25:52.940 --> 00:25:53.500
 believe

00:25:53.500 --> 00:25:53.840
 now

00:25:53.840 --> 00:25:54.620
 anyone

00:25:54.620 --> 00:25:54.860
 who

00:25:54.860 --> 00:25:55.160
 says

00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:55.340
 that

00:25:55.340 --> 00:25:55.500
 is

00:25:55.500 --> 00:25:55.680
 either

00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:57.019
 spectacularly

00:25:57.019 --> 00:25:57.900
 misguided

00:25:57.900 --> 00:25:59.240
 or

00:25:59.240 --> 00:25:59.780
 is

00:25:59.780 --> 00:26:00.519
 supremely

00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:01.080
 confident

00:26:01.080 --> 00:26:02.019
 in his

00:26:02.019 --> 00:26:02.280
 own

00:26:02.280 --> 00:26:02.780
 power

00:26:02.780 --> 00:26:03.320
 and

00:26:03.320 --> 00:26:03.840
 authority

00:26:03.840 --> 00:26:04.540
 don't

00:26:04.540 --> 00:26:04.660
 be

00:26:04.660 --> 00:26:05.100
 afraid

00:26:05.100 --> 00:26:05.820
 just

00:26:05.820 --> 00:26:06.460
 believe

00:26:06.460 --> 00:26:07.600
 and

00:26:07.600 --> 00:26:07.940
 Jesus

00:26:07.940 --> 00:26:08.280
 will

00:26:08.280 --> 00:26:08.620
 show

00:26:08.620 --> 00:26:08.960
 this

00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:09.560
 particular

00:26:09.560 --> 00:26:10.320
 grief

00:26:10.320 --> 00:26:10.640
 stricken

00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:11.160
 family

00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:11.780
 his

00:26:11.780 --> 00:26:12.140
 power

00:26:12.140 --> 00:26:12.380
 over

00:26:12.380 --> 00:26:12.640
 death

00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:12.780
 when

00:26:12.780 --> 00:26:12.920
 he

00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:13.300
 says

00:26:13.300 --> 00:26:14.060
 to

00:26:14.060 --> 00:26:14.300
 her

00:26:14.300 --> 00:26:14.680
 little

00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:17.019
 girl

00:26:17.019 --> 00:26:18.019
 rise

00:26:18.019 --> 00:26:18.259
 up

00:26:18.259 --> 00:26:18.360
 and

00:26:18.360 --> 00:26:18.480
 he

00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:18.780
 takes

00:26:18.780 --> 00:26:18.960
 her

00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:19.480
 the hand

00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:19.740
 of her

00:26:19.740 --> 00:26:20.100
 corpse

00:26:20.100 --> 00:26:21.120
 and

00:26:21.120 --> 00:26:21.380
 he

00:26:21.380 --> 00:26:22.460
 wakes

00:26:22.460 --> 00:26:22.620
 her

00:26:22.620 --> 00:26:22.799
 up

00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:22.980
 like

00:26:22.980 --> 00:26:23.259
 she's

00:26:23.259 --> 00:26:23.519
 been

00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:24.019
 in

00:26:24.019 --> 00:26:24.140
 a

00:26:24.140 --> 00:26:24.440
 nap

00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:25.900
 the

00:26:25.900 --> 00:26:26.059
 same

00:26:26.059 --> 00:26:26.279
 thing

00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:26.740
 happens

00:26:26.740 --> 00:26:27.120
 with

00:26:27.120 --> 00:26:27.880
 Jesus

00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:28.200
 good

00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:28.460
 buddy

00:26:28.460 --> 00:26:29.059
 Lazarus

00:26:29.059 --> 00:26:29.380
 he gets

00:26:29.380 --> 00:26:29.620
 this

00:26:29.620 --> 00:26:30.039
 urgent

00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:31.079
 message

00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:31.600
 Lord

00:26:31.600 --> 00:26:31.860
 the

00:26:31.860 --> 00:26:32.299
 one

00:26:32.299 --> 00:26:32.519

00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:32.920
 love

00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:33.180
 so

00:26:33.840 --> 00:26:34.240
 sick

00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:36.079
 and

00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:36.240
 what

00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:36.380
 does

00:26:36.380 --> 00:26:36.620
 Jesus

00:26:36.620 --> 00:26:37.039
 do

00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:38.759
 he

00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:39.380
 delays

00:26:39.380 --> 00:26:40.840
 he

00:26:40.840 --> 00:26:41.360
 delays

00:26:41.360 --> 00:26:42.220
 again

00:26:42.220 --> 00:26:43.880
 and

00:26:43.880 --> 00:26:44.059
 his

00:26:44.059 --> 00:26:44.460
 friend

00:26:44.460 --> 00:26:45.319
 dies

00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:46.679
 and

00:26:46.679 --> 00:26:46.859
 these

00:26:46.859 --> 00:26:47.500
 bewildered

00:26:47.500 --> 00:26:48.079
 sisters

00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:48.439
 say

00:26:48.439 --> 00:26:48.619
 to

00:26:48.619 --> 00:26:48.919
 Jesus

00:26:48.919 --> 00:26:49.399
 Lord

00:26:49.399 --> 00:26:49.619
 if

00:26:49.619 --> 00:26:49.879
 only

00:26:49.879 --> 00:26:50.139
 you'd

00:26:50.139 --> 00:26:50.319
 been

00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:50.599
 here

00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:50.839
 our

00:26:50.839 --> 00:26:51.240
 brother

00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:51.819
 would

00:26:51.819 --> 00:26:52.179
 not

00:26:52.179 --> 00:26:52.659
 have

00:26:52.659 --> 00:26:53.099
 died

00:26:53.099 --> 00:26:54.619
 and

00:26:54.619 --> 00:26:54.779
 when

00:26:54.779 --> 00:26:55.139
 Jesus

00:26:55.139 --> 00:26:56.259
 sees

00:26:56.259 --> 00:26:56.519
 their

00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:57.240
 tears

00:26:57.240 --> 00:26:58.819
 he

00:26:58.819 --> 00:26:59.159
 begins

00:26:59.159 --> 00:26:59.399
 to

00:26:59.399 --> 00:26:59.659
 weep

00:26:59.659 --> 00:27:00.059
 too

00:27:00.059 --> 00:27:01.559
 why

00:27:01.559 --> 00:27:02.119
 because

00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:03.399
 I

00:27:03.399 --> 00:27:03.619
 think

00:27:03.619 --> 00:27:03.819
 he's

00:27:03.819 --> 00:27:04.099
 looking

00:27:04.099 --> 00:27:04.539
 around

00:27:04.539 --> 00:27:04.720
 at

00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:04.939
 all

00:27:04.939 --> 00:27:05.119
 the

00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:05.399
 people

00:27:05.399 --> 00:27:05.659
 he's

00:27:05.659 --> 00:27:05.960
 not

00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:06.099
 going

00:27:06.099 --> 00:27:06.240
 to

00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:06.519
 heal

00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:07.659
 all

00:27:07.659 --> 00:27:07.839
 the

00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:08.099
 people

00:27:08.099 --> 00:27:08.319
 whose

00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:08.679
 bodies

00:27:08.679 --> 00:27:08.960
 he's

00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:09.279
 not

00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:09.559
 going

00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:09.759
 to

00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:10.039
 raise

00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:10.240
 up

00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:10.379
 I

00:27:10.379 --> 00:27:10.519
 think

00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:10.720
 he's

00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:11.000
 looking

00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:11.379
 down

00:27:11.380 --> 00:27:11.860
 the

00:27:11.860 --> 00:27:12.480
 corridors

00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:12.920
 of

00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:13.360
 time

00:27:13.360 --> 00:27:13.620
 through

00:27:13.620 --> 00:27:13.840
 the

00:29:08.959 --> 00:29:09.299
 that

00:29:09.299 --> 00:29:10.399
 and

00:29:10.399 --> 00:29:10.519
 he

00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:11.079
 delayed

00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:12.119
 and

00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:12.500
 Isaac

00:29:12.500 --> 00:29:13.179
 died

00:29:13.179 --> 00:29:13.339
 at

00:29:13.339 --> 00:29:13.459
 the

00:29:13.459 --> 00:29:13.679
 age

00:29:13.679 --> 00:29:13.819
 of

00:29:13.819 --> 00:29:14.359
 16

00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:16.019
 and

00:29:16.019 --> 00:29:16.099
 so

00:29:16.099 --> 00:29:16.219
 I

00:29:16.219 --> 00:29:16.339
 want

00:29:16.339 --> 00:29:16.459
 to

00:29:16.459 --> 00:29:16.639
 say

00:29:16.639 --> 00:29:16.799
 that

00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:17.019
 it's

00:29:17.019 --> 00:29:17.419
 so

00:29:17.419 --> 00:29:18.199
 right

00:29:18.199 --> 00:29:19.539
 for

00:29:19.539 --> 00:29:19.779
 us

00:29:19.779 --> 00:29:20.000
 to

00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:20.619
 ask

00:29:20.619 --> 00:29:20.879
 the

00:29:20.879 --> 00:29:21.479
 healer

00:29:21.479 --> 00:29:22.659
 for

00:29:22.659 --> 00:29:23.279
 healing

00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:24.000
 when

00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:24.139
 we

00:29:24.139 --> 00:29:24.359
 need

00:29:28.759 --> 00:29:28.899
 been

00:29:28.899 --> 00:29:29.219
 healed

00:29:29.219 --> 00:29:29.439
 by

00:29:29.439 --> 00:29:29.919
 Jesus

 anybody

00:29:31.500 --> 00:29:31.819
 asked

00:29:31.979 --> 00:29:32.339
 healing

00:29:46.259 --> 00:29:46.480
 we

00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:46.819
 need

00:29:46.819 --> 00:29:47.539
 more

00:29:47.539 --> 00:29:47.759
 of

00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:48.179
 that

00:29:48.179 --> 00:29:49.779
 but

00:29:49.779 --> 00:29:49.980
 think

00:29:49.980 --> 00:29:50.199
 about

00:29:50.199 --> 00:29:50.299
 it

00:29:50.299 --> 00:29:50.480
 this

 man's

00:29:50.959 --> 00:29:51.319
 son

00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:51.740
 who

00:29:51.740 --> 00:29:52.000
 Jesus

00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:52.319
 healed

00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:52.740
 he

00:29:52.740 --> 00:29:53.099
 eventually

00:29:53.099 --> 00:29:53.559
 died

00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:54.919
 and

00:29:54.919 --> 00:29:55.240
 Jairus

00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:55.399
 his

00:29:55.399 --> 00:29:55.659
 daughter

00:29:55.659 --> 00:29:55.879
 would

00:29:55.879 --> 00:29:56.079
 die

00:29:56.079 --> 00:29:56.359
 again

00:29:56.359 --> 00:29:56.859
 Lazarus

00:29:56.859 --> 00:29:57.000
 would

00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:57.199
 die

00:29:57.199 --> 00:29:57.439
 again

00:29:57.439 --> 00:29:57.759
 all

00:29:57.759 --> 00:29:57.899
 of

00:29:57.899 --> 00:29:58.199
 us

00:29:58.199 --> 00:29:58.679
 we

00:29:58.679 --> 00:29:58.919
 might

00:29:58.919 --> 00:29:59.439
 experience

00:29:59.439 --> 00:29:59.799
 healing

00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:00.019
 but

00:30:00.019 --> 00:30:00.240
 we're

00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:00.379
 gonna

00:30:00.379 --> 00:30:00.720
 die

00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:00.959
 we're

00:30:00.959 --> 00:30:01.059
 gonna

00:30:02.339 --> 00:30:03.240
 die

00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:03.539
 maybe

00:30:03.539 --> 00:30:03.779
 when

00:30:03.779 --> 00:30:03.980
 we're

00:30:03.980 --> 00:30:04.359
 young

00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:07.079
 Jesus

00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:07.439
 in

00:30:07.439 --> 00:30:07.799
 every

00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:08.379
 case

00:30:08.379 --> 00:30:09.099
 for

00:30:09.099 --> 00:30:09.359
 all

00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:09.519
 of

00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:09.699
 us

00:30:09.699 --> 00:30:09.879
 he's

00:30:09.879 --> 00:30:10.019
 gonna

00:30:10.019 --> 00:30:10.539
 delay

00:30:10.539 --> 00:30:10.879
 his

00:30:10.879 --> 00:30:11.339
 coming

00:30:11.339 --> 00:30:12.379
 that

00:30:12.379 --> 00:30:12.579
 could

00:30:12.579 --> 00:30:12.879
 save

00:30:12.879 --> 00:30:13.199
 us

00:30:13.199 --> 00:30:13.740
 from

00:30:13.740 --> 00:30:14.220
 death

00:30:14.220 --> 00:30:15.059
 but

00:30:15.059 --> 00:30:15.279
 we

00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:15.699
 know

00:30:15.699 --> 00:30:16.659
 we

00:30:16.659 --> 00:30:16.899
 know

00:30:16.899 --> 00:30:17.119
 that

00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:17.459
 Jesus

00:30:17.459 --> 00:30:18.519
 has

00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:18.779
 given

00:30:18.779 --> 00:30:19.019
 us

00:30:19.019 --> 00:30:19.199
 his

00:30:19.199 --> 00:30:19.619
 word

00:30:19.619 --> 00:30:20.759
 that

00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:20.939
 he

00:30:20.939 --> 00:30:21.279
 has

00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:21.459
 the

00:30:21.459 --> 00:30:21.939
 power

00:30:21.939 --> 00:30:23.000
 over

00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:23.419
 sickness

00:30:23.419 --> 00:30:23.980
 and

00:30:23.980 --> 00:30:24.199
 death

00:30:24.199 --> 00:30:24.399
 that

00:30:24.399 --> 00:30:24.639
 he

00:30:24.639 --> 00:30:24.859
 is

00:30:24.859 --> 00:30:25.019
 the

00:30:25.019 --> 00:30:25.359
 one

00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:26.179
 who

00:30:26.179 --> 00:30:26.419
 gives

00:30:26.419 --> 00:30:26.980
 healing

00:30:26.980 --> 00:30:27.539
 and

00:30:27.539 --> 00:30:27.839
 life

00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:27.980
 and

00:30:27.980 --> 00:30:28.220
 we

00:30:28.220 --> 00:30:28.559
 very

00:30:28.559 --> 00:30:29.079
 much

00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:30.220
 are

00:30:30.220 --> 00:30:30.459
 like

00:30:30.459 --> 00:30:30.699
 this

00:30:30.699 --> 00:30:31.079
 father

00:30:31.079 --> 00:30:31.339
 whom

00:30:31.339 --> 00:30:31.659
 Jesus

00:30:31.660 --> 00:30:32.259
 sends

00:30:32.259 --> 00:30:33.360
 back

00:30:33.360 --> 00:30:33.740
 on his

00:30:33.740 --> 00:30:34.300
 anguished

00:30:34.300 --> 00:30:34.580
 way

00:30:34.580 --> 00:30:34.960
 to walk

00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:35.840
 20 miles

00:30:35.840 --> 00:30:37.000
 back home

00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:38.140
 on that lonely

00:30:38.140 --> 00:30:38.600
 road

00:30:38.600 --> 00:30:39.600
 by himself

00:30:39.600 --> 00:30:40.519
 with only

00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:41.240
 Jesus

00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:41.880
 word

00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:42.980
 that he

00:30:42.980 --> 00:30:43.880
 has life

00:30:43.880 --> 00:30:44.800
 in the face

00:30:44.800 --> 00:30:45.680
 of death

00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:46.440
 and that's how we're

00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:46.940
 called to live

00:30:46.940 --> 00:30:47.920
 it looks foolish

00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:49.700
 it looks beyond

00:30:49.700 --> 00:30:50.380
 the bounds

00:30:50.380 --> 00:30:51.640
 of possibility

00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:53.580
 but we know

00:30:53.580 --> 00:30:54.800
 more than this man

00:30:54.800 --> 00:30:55.680
 knew

00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:57.600
 because we have

00:30:57.600 --> 00:30:58.920
 the final sign

00:30:58.920 --> 00:31:00.160
 that Jesus gave us

00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:01.100
 at the end

00:31:01.100 --> 00:31:01.880
 of this gospel

00:31:01.880 --> 00:31:02.680
 that we're

00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:03.100
 going to talk

00:31:03.100 --> 00:31:03.400
 about

00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:04.360
 on Easter

00:31:04.360 --> 00:31:04.800
 Sunday

00:31:04.800 --> 00:31:05.300
 in John

00:31:05.300 --> 00:31:06.000
 chapter 20

00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:06.420
 it says

00:31:06.420 --> 00:31:06.920
 that very

00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:07.320
 early

00:31:07.320 --> 00:31:07.759
 on that

00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:08.160
 third

00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:08.580
 morning

00:31:08.580 --> 00:31:09.640
 after Jesus

00:31:09.640 --> 00:31:10.180
 own

00:31:10.180 --> 00:31:10.480
 death

00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:10.960
 the son

00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:11.540
 of God

00:31:11.540 --> 00:31:12.220
 died

00:31:12.220 --> 00:31:15.100
 but very

00:31:15.100 --> 00:31:15.480
 early

00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:15.880
 on that

00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:16.200
 third

00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:16.560
 morning

00:31:16.560 --> 00:31:17.279
 after his

00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:17.580
 death

00:31:17.580 --> 00:31:17.960
 Jesus

00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:18.480
 rose

00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:18.759
 up

00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:19.019
 in the

00:31:19.019 --> 00:31:19.360
 darkness

00:31:19.360 --> 00:31:19.920
 of night

00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:20.860
 in the

00:31:20.860 --> 00:31:21.279
 power

00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:22.120
 of an

00:31:22.120 --> 00:31:22.440
 endless

00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:23.060
 life

00:31:23.060 --> 00:31:25.420
 so friends

00:31:25.420 --> 00:31:26.160
 at present

00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:26.620
 Jesus

00:31:26.619 --> 00:31:28.000
 sometimes

00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:28.659
 and often

00:31:28.659 --> 00:31:29.139
 times

00:31:29.139 --> 00:31:30.019
 he doesn't

00:31:30.019 --> 00:31:30.599
 respond

00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:30.979
 on our

00:31:30.979 --> 00:31:31.479
 terms

00:31:31.479 --> 00:31:33.599
 and Jesus

00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:34.139
 probably

00:31:34.139 --> 00:31:34.619
 for every

00:31:34.619 --> 00:31:35.059
 one of us

00:31:35.059 --> 00:31:35.399
 is going

00:31:35.399 --> 00:31:36.000
 to delay

00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:36.679
 his coming

00:31:36.679 --> 00:31:37.019
 that would

00:31:37.019 --> 00:31:37.839
 prevent us

00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:39.259
 from death

00:31:39.259 --> 00:31:39.799
 but make

00:31:39.799 --> 00:31:40.639
 no mistake

00:31:40.639 --> 00:31:41.879
 for those

00:31:41.879 --> 00:31:42.279
 of us

00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:43.219
 who believe

00:31:43.219 --> 00:31:45.599
 all of his

00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:46.179
 life giving

00:31:46.179 --> 00:31:47.119
 power is going

00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:47.579
 to come

00:31:47.579 --> 00:31:48.159
 to us

00:31:48.159 --> 00:31:49.279
 in the end

00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:51.279
 he will

00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:52.159
 heal

00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:53.240
 our bodies

00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:55.200
 he will

00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:56.200
 raise us

00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:56.600
 up

00:31:56.600 --> 00:31:57.019
 to

00:31:57.019 --> 00:31:57.860
 indestructible

00:31:57.860 --> 00:31:58.259
 life

00:31:58.259 --> 00:31:59.160
 he will

00:31:59.160 --> 00:31:59.820
 make

00:31:59.820 --> 00:32:00.900
 all things

00:32:00.900 --> 00:32:01.580
 new

00:32:01.580 --> 00:32:02.160
 that is what

00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:02.740
 all these

00:32:02.740 --> 00:32:03.320
 signs of

00:32:03.320 --> 00:32:03.680
 healing

00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:04.340
 all these

00:32:04.340 --> 00:32:04.840
 signs of

00:32:04.840 --> 00:32:05.340
 resurrection

00:32:05.340 --> 00:32:06.279
 are pointing

00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:06.820
 us to

00:32:06.820 --> 00:32:07.200
 it's how

00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:08.000
 John begins

00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:08.759
 his gospel

00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:10.360
 in John 1

00:32:10.360 --> 00:32:11.000
 4 he says

00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:12.360
 in Jesus

00:32:12.360 --> 00:32:13.740
 was life

00:32:13.740 --> 00:32:15.120
 and that

00:32:15.120 --> 00:32:15.680
 life

00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:16.540
 was the

00:32:16.540 --> 00:32:16.980
 light

00:32:16.980 --> 00:32:18.100
 of all

00:32:18.100 --> 00:32:18.880
 people

00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:19.580
 the life

00:32:19.580 --> 00:32:20.180
 that's in

00:32:20.180 --> 00:32:20.480
 Jesus

00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:20.920
 is the

00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:21.279
 hope

00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:22.200
 of the

00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:22.599
 world

00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:24.480
 I want

00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:24.779
 to leave

00:32:24.779 --> 00:32:25.039
 you with

00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:25.680
 this famous

00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:26.460
 passage in

00:32:26.460 --> 00:32:26.899
 the Bible

00:32:26.899 --> 00:32:29.039
 about God's

00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:29.539
 people who

00:32:29.539 --> 00:32:30.420
 live by faith

00:32:30.420 --> 00:32:30.720
 and this

00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:31.220
 wonderful

00:32:31.220 --> 00:32:32.639
 definition of

00:32:32.639 --> 00:32:33.019
 faith

00:32:33.019 --> 00:32:34.579
 Hebrews 11

00:32:34.579 --> 00:32:34.899
 you ready

00:32:34.899 --> 00:32:35.379
 for it

00:32:35.379 --> 00:32:36.579
 it says

00:32:36.579 --> 00:32:37.500
 now faith

00:32:37.500 --> 00:32:38.940
 is the

00:32:38.940 --> 00:32:39.680
 assurance

00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:41.259
 of things

00:32:41.259 --> 00:32:42.099
 hoped for

00:32:42.099 --> 00:32:43.500
 and the

00:32:43.500 --> 00:32:43.980
 conviction

00:32:43.980 --> 00:32:44.899
 of things

00:32:44.899 --> 00:32:45.779
 we cannot

00:32:45.779 --> 00:32:46.420
 see

00:32:46.420 --> 00:32:48.619
 now faith

00:32:48.619 --> 00:32:49.019
 is the

00:32:49.019 --> 00:32:49.559
 assurance

00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:50.240
 of things

00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:51.000
 hoped for

00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:51.599
 and the

00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:52.019
 conviction

00:32:52.019 --> 00:32:53.160
 of things

00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:54.220
 not seen

00:32:54.220 --> 00:32:54.539
 and after

00:32:54.539 --> 00:32:55.079
 going through

00:32:55.079 --> 00:32:56.119
 example

00:32:56.119 --> 00:32:56.880
 after example

00:32:56.880 --> 00:32:57.660
 after example

00:32:57.660 --> 00:32:58.259
 of people

00:32:58.259 --> 00:32:58.740
 who live

00:32:58.740 --> 00:32:59.380
 by faith

00:32:59.380 --> 00:33:00.059
 it says

00:33:00.059 --> 00:33:00.480
 this

00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:01.619
 all these

00:33:01.619 --> 00:33:02.059
 people

00:33:02.059 --> 00:33:03.700
 were still

00:33:03.700 --> 00:33:04.259
 living by

00:33:04.259 --> 00:33:04.640
 faith

00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:05.160
 when they

00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:05.579
 died

00:33:05.579 --> 00:33:07.180
 they did

00:33:07.180 --> 00:33:07.880
 not receive

00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:08.359
 the things

00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:08.940
 promised

00:33:08.940 --> 00:33:10.579
 they only

00:33:10.579 --> 00:33:11.200
 saw them

00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:11.720
 and welcomed

00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:12.319
 them from a

00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:12.700
 distance

00:33:12.700 --> 00:33:13.240
 admitting

00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:14.579
 that they

00:33:14.579 --> 00:33:15.339
 were foreigners

00:33:15.339 --> 00:33:15.559
 strangers

00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:16.799
 and strangers

00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:18.039
 on earth

00:33:18.039 --> 00:33:20.379
 and that's

00:33:20.379 --> 00:33:20.839
 the question

00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:21.299
 for us

00:33:21.299 --> 00:33:22.119
 will we

00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:23.019
 have this

00:33:23.019 --> 00:33:23.319
 kind of

00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:23.919
 assured

00:33:23.919 --> 00:33:25.279
 and convicted

00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:26.339
 faith

00:33:26.339 --> 00:33:28.419
 even in the

00:33:28.419 --> 00:33:28.919
 face of

00:33:28.919 --> 00:33:29.740
 certain death

00:33:29.740 --> 00:33:31.439
 a faith that

00:33:31.439 --> 00:33:32.039
 sees that

00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:32.859
 coming day

00:33:32.859 --> 00:33:33.539
 in the future

00:33:33.539 --> 00:33:35.179
 when Jesus

00:33:35.179 --> 00:33:35.980
 will heal

00:33:35.980 --> 00:33:37.559
 and resurrect

00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:38.639
 our bodies

00:33:38.639 --> 00:33:40.279
 to be like

00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:41.819
 his body

00:33:41.819 --> 00:33:43.919
 that's what

00:33:43.919 --> 00:33:44.200
 it means

00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:44.539
 to be a

00:33:44.539 --> 00:33:44.839
 Christian

00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:46.419
 that's what

00:33:46.419 --> 00:33:46.700
 it means

00:33:46.700 --> 00:33:47.079
 to be a

00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:47.460
 church

00:33:47.460 --> 00:33:48.720
 that's what

00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:49.039
 it means

00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:49.599
 to live

00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:50.700
 by

00:33:50.700 --> 00:33:52.200
 faith

00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:53.779
 may it be

00:33:53.779 --> 00:33:54.139
 so

00:33:54.139 --> 00:33:55.559
 among us

00:33:55.559 --> 00:33:56.759
 in the name

00:33:56.759 --> 00:33:57.200
 of the Father

00:33:57.200 --> 00:33:57.839
 Son and Holy

00:33:57.839 --> 00:33:58.319
 Spirit

00:33:58.319 --> 00:33:59.339
 Amen
