00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.060
 Please turn to Matthew chapter 6, verse 7 to 15.

00:00:07.379 --> 00:00:09.599
 If you don't have a Bible, please raise your hand.

00:00:09.660 --> 00:00:11.220
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:42.700
 And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they

00:00:42.700 --> 00:00:44.579
 will be heard for their many words.

00:00:45.500 --> 00:00:49.879
 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:52.379
 Pray then like this.

00:00:52.980 --> 00:00:57.039
 Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.

00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.140
 Your kingdom come.

00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:03.579
 Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:07.019
 Give us this day our daily bread.

00:01:07.540 --> 00:01:11.659
 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.900
 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

00:01:16.780 --> 00:01:20.760
 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

00:01:21.260 --> 00:01:26.480
 But if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

00:01:27.140 --> 00:01:28.920
 This is God's holy and authoritative word.

00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:29.579
 Please be seated.

00:01:29.579 --> 00:01:29.640
 Please be seated.

00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:46.900
 In Acts chapter 6, the 12 apostles identify two main things that are absolutely necessary, integral for the advance of the gospel, for the upbuilding of the church,

00:01:46.900 --> 00:01:50.840
 the progress of the kingdom of God.

00:01:51.340 --> 00:01:55.500
 And those two things are ministry of the word and prayer.

00:01:56.500 --> 00:01:58.820
 Ministering God's word and praying.

00:01:58.819 --> 00:02:09.840
 But of those two all-important activities, we find specific instructions from Jesus about only one of those two activities.

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:20.340
 Nowhere in the gospels do we find Jesus' disciples asking him, please teach us how to pray or how to preach, rather.

00:02:20.340 --> 00:02:24.020
 We want to learn to preach like you, Jesus.

00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:26.180
 We don't find that anywhere in scripture.

00:02:26.180 --> 00:02:34.159
 Nowhere in the New Testament do we find specific instructions for what an outline for a sermon should look like.

00:02:34.819 --> 00:02:36.260
 This is how you should preach.

00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:37.260
 This is what you should include.

00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:38.580
 We find many examples of it.

00:02:38.580 --> 00:02:41.560
 But we don't find specific instructions for it.

00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:47.000
 Apparently, the basic contours of proclaiming the gospel is simple enough.

00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:50.340
 Can we receive training to do it better?

00:02:50.420 --> 00:02:50.860
 Of course.

00:02:51.100 --> 00:02:52.920
 That's what you have trained pastors for.

00:02:53.480 --> 00:02:56.220
 But if you are a Christian, then you know the gospel.

00:02:56.600 --> 00:03:00.120
 Because if you don't know the gospel, then you cannot be a Christian.

00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:05.039
 The gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ, which is the power of God for salvation for those who believe.

00:03:05.099 --> 00:03:10.620
 That means if you are here and confess Jesus as your Lord, you know the gospel and you know how to proclaim it.

00:03:11.700 --> 00:03:16.280
 But in Luke 11, we do find Jesus' disciples asking him,

00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:21.659
 Lord, teach us to pray as John taught his disciples.

00:03:23.640 --> 00:03:29.800
 Jesus' intimate and trusting relationship with his heavenly Father demonstrated in prayer

00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:34.219
 was clearly a source of his power in ministry and his disciples knew it.

00:03:35.900 --> 00:03:38.219
 So Jesus taught his disciples to pray.

00:03:38.340 --> 00:03:46.280
 We have specific instructions for how to pray in the Bible from the mouth of Jesus himself.

00:03:47.720 --> 00:03:51.700
 In fact, the way Matthew has structured his sermon on the Mount,

00:03:51.780 --> 00:03:53.320
 Jesus' Sermon on the Mount here in the gospel,

00:03:54.480 --> 00:03:56.880
 it centers around the Lord's Prayer.

00:03:57.100 --> 00:03:59.360
 This is one of, this is Jesus' most famous sermon.

00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:03.240
 It's one of five major discourses of Jesus in Matthew,

00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:05.040
 and it's structured chiastically.

00:04:05.260 --> 00:04:08.580
 It has a mirroring structure where the two ends match each other,

00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:14.140
 and then the next elements match each other until it comes to the very center of the entire sermon,

00:04:14.720 --> 00:04:16.639
 which here, in this case, is the Lord's Prayer.

00:04:17.780 --> 00:04:21.379
 In Matthew 5.1, Jesus, seeing the crowds, went up on the mountain.

00:04:22.280 --> 00:04:26.319
 In Matthew 8.1, Jesus, it says, came down from the mountain,

00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.020
 and great crowds followed him.

00:04:28.019 --> 00:04:33.959
 In chapter 5.2, Jesus begins his sayings and teachings to his disciples.

00:04:34.299 --> 00:04:39.339
 In chapter 7.20, it says that he finished his teachings and sayings to his disciples.

00:04:40.139 --> 00:04:46.859
 Verse 5.3-16 describes the blessed ones who have and possess the kingdom of heaven.

00:04:46.860 --> 00:04:51.400
 Chapter 7.13-27 describes those who will enter the kingdom of heaven.

00:04:51.939 --> 00:04:53.759
 So you see these mirroring elements.

00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:57.480
 Chapter 5.17-20 speak of how Jesus fulfills the law and the prophets.

00:04:58.180 --> 00:05:01.780
 In chapter 7.12, we have Jesus' summary of the law and the prophets.

00:05:02.980 --> 00:05:06.680
 In 5.21-6.4, Jesus talks about how to love our earthly neighbors.

00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:11.120
 In 6.19-7.11, Jesus talks about how to love our heavenly father.

00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.459
 So again, that's summing up that the greatest command to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself.

00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:19.860
 And then, as Ed preached last week, in chapter 6.5-6,

00:05:20.420 --> 00:05:23.300
 we are told not to pray like the hypocrites to be seen by others.

00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.759
 And then, skipping over the Lord's Prayer to verse 16 and 18,

00:05:26.899 --> 00:05:30.680
 it warns us not to fast like hypocrites to be seen by others.

00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:35.680
 Every aspect of Sermon on the Mount has these matching elements, except for one.

00:05:36.379 --> 00:05:37.360
 It's the Lord's Prayer.

00:05:38.019 --> 00:05:40.939
 Because it's the very center of Jesus' most famous sermon.

00:05:41.500 --> 00:05:45.040
 That's how important this passage is, and that's how important prayer is.

00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:53.180
 I think prayer is given such a prominence in Jesus' teaching

00:05:53.180 --> 00:05:57.259
 and central place in Scripture for a number of reasons.

00:05:57.259 --> 00:06:00.219
 I think in many ways, and I say this as a preacher,

00:06:00.420 --> 00:06:02.959
 who is the last person to discount the importance of preaching.

00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:06.779
 Because praying is harder than preaching.

00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.139
 I know many pastors who struggle with praying.

00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:17.439
 I don't know that many pastors who pray well but struggle with preaching.

00:06:20.599 --> 00:06:24.319
 When we're preaching and serving and otherwise busily occupied,

00:06:24.599 --> 00:06:26.740
 it feels very productive and that feels good.

00:06:27.259 --> 00:06:30.620
 When we're praying, it feels like we're not accomplishing anything.

00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:32.480
 Because we're not.

00:06:33.420 --> 00:06:35.000
 We are not accomplishing anything.

00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:38.279
 We're asking God to accomplish something.

00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:45.560
 In prayer, we become helpless, needy, and dependent people,

00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:50.879
 and this is a very hard thing for a prideful and self-sufficient

00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:52.920
 and self-important people to do.

00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:57.960
 That's why I think prayer is harder than preaching.

00:07:02.020 --> 00:07:05.400
 That's a long introduction to highlight just how critical prayer is,

00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:08.580
 and the main point, I think, of this passage is that we should pray as children

00:07:08.580 --> 00:07:09.780
 to our Heavenly Father.

00:07:11.819 --> 00:07:13.420
 First, he tells us how not to pray.

00:07:13.540 --> 00:07:15.319
 Don't pray like this, in verse 7 and 8.

00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:16.779
 And then he tells us how to pray.

00:07:16.899 --> 00:07:19.699
 Do pray like this in verses 9 to 15.

00:07:20.740 --> 00:07:24.019
 Let's first talk about how not to pray in verses 7 to 8.

00:07:24.659 --> 00:07:24.939
 It says,

00:07:24.939 --> 00:07:43.720
 Jesus is using the term Gentiles here not as an ethnic term primarily,

00:07:43.980 --> 00:07:47.360
 to mean non-Jews, but to refer to unbelievers,

00:07:47.500 --> 00:07:49.959
 all those who are outside of his community of disciples.

00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.339
 It was used in the same way in chapter 5, verse 47.

00:07:54.939 --> 00:07:59.959
 Those who do not believe in the true God heap up empty phrases.

00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.180
 Their prayer is characterized by two things.

00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:03.459
 One, empty phrases.

00:08:03.860 --> 00:08:05.079
 Two, many words.

00:08:05.660 --> 00:08:07.560
 And Jesus teaches us not to pray in these manners.

00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:12.040
 First, we should not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do.

00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:16.259
 The Greek word behind heap up empty phrases is literally a word that means babble,

00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:17.620
 to prattle.

00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:20.120
 It refers to idle talk.

00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:27.259
 Imagine someone who prattles on and on about foolish and inconsequential things.

00:08:28.459 --> 00:08:31.639
 They don't have any real reason for communicating these things to you,

00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:34.340
 but they're just prattling on.

00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:37.779
 These are empty phrases that have little meaning.

00:08:37.779 --> 00:08:45.000
 In the first century Greco-Roman world, Gentiles used these foreign, unintelligible words and sounds

00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:50.620
 that they called barbarous names, which they believed to possess magical powers.

00:08:51.079 --> 00:08:56.620
 And you find these barbarous names, these magical incantations in the Greek magical papyri that have

00:08:56.620 --> 00:08:57.139
 been discovered.

00:08:57.819 --> 00:09:00.339
 And that's the kind of thing that Jesus is condemning here.

00:09:00.819 --> 00:09:06.000
 Prayer is not about heaping up empty phrases as if the words and phrases that mean nothing to us

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:07.220
 will mean something to God.

00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:15.399
 That ancient practice is really not all that different from the mantras that Hindus and Buddhists

00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:16.919
 all over the world use today.

00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:25.539
 The utter phrases and words and sounds called mantras, which they believe carry sacred vibrations

00:09:25.539 --> 00:09:26.779
 or divine energy.

00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:34.980
 But Jesus teaches us here that such babbling, heaping up empty phrases, have zero efficacy.

00:09:34.980 --> 00:09:36.420
 With God.

00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:44.879
 Secondly, we should not pray many words as if God will hear us just because our words are many.

00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:52.920
 Pagan prayer often has little substance and meaning, but there's much vain repetition.

00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:58.680
 The Greeks were known for repeating the names of their deities over and over again because

00:09:58.680 --> 00:10:03.120
 they believe that maybe with one time saying the name, their gods might miss it.

00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:06.740
 If they get their attention, you say their names over and over again.

00:10:08.060 --> 00:10:14.019
 It's not all that different from how Muslims today used prayer beads called the tasbih, 99

00:10:14.019 --> 00:10:16.580
 beads for the 99 names of Allah.

00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:20.659
 They repeat them over and over and over again.

00:10:21.980 --> 00:10:26.980
 Many Buddhists likewise use prayer wheels that they spin repeatedly while uttering their mantras,

00:10:26.980 --> 00:10:31.220
 thinking that each turn of the wheel releases a prayer and more prayer the better,

00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.200
 so they just keep spinning these wheels.

00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:44.120
 Even the Catholic use of the rosary, I believe, sometimes runs afoul of Jesus' command.

00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:52.740
 The Catholic rosary contains 59 beads with five introductory beads, one Our Father, the Lord's Prayer,

00:10:52.899 --> 00:10:58.340
 three Hail Marys, and one Glory bead, five sets of ten Hail Marys, each one beginning with Our Father,

00:10:58.500 --> 00:11:02.519
 which then it closes with the Hail Queen, which is a prayer to Mary.

00:11:03.419 --> 00:11:06.779
 The Catholic rosary is problematic in a number of important ways.

00:11:06.779 --> 00:11:12.559
 It includes prayers to Mary, but as we see in this passage, Jesus teaches us that we should pray to God,

00:11:13.199 --> 00:11:18.139
 not to other believers, not even to believers who are dead and in heaven already.

00:11:19.819 --> 00:11:21.799
 Sure, we should pray for one another.

00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:25.019
 The Bible does teach us to pray for one another as saints,

00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:29.539
 but that's very different from praying to one another.

00:11:29.539 --> 00:11:37.679
 The rosary often leads to vain repetitions where people thoughtlessly recite prayers in rote and mechanical way

00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:43.519
 as if the sheer number of repetitions is going to make God hear us and answer us.

00:11:46.099 --> 00:11:48.919
 God cannot be controlled in such a way.

00:11:49.699 --> 00:11:50.860
 God is not hard of hearing.

00:11:51.740 --> 00:11:53.559
 God is not susceptible to flattery.

00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:54.559
 God is not able to pray for one another.

00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:55.559
 God is not able to pray for one another.

00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:59.899
 In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus gives us a model and a pattern according to which we should pray.

00:12:00.699 --> 00:12:06.099
 I don't think this means that Jesus intends for us to say precisely these 52 words

00:12:06.099 --> 00:12:09.579
 in the English Standard Version of the Bible in verses 9 to 13.

00:12:10.599 --> 00:12:11.399
 How do I know that?

00:12:11.500 --> 00:12:15.139
 Well, because we have two versions of the Lord's Prayer in the Scriptures,

00:12:15.339 --> 00:12:17.679
 one here in Matthew 6 and another one in Luke 11.

00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:21.559
 And though those two versions are very similar in their themes,

00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:23.799
 they're not identical in their wording,

00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:27.939
 which I think shows us that it's not the exact wording that matters,

00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:30.719
 but rather the substance of what we're praying to God.

00:12:33.319 --> 00:12:35.299
 With that said, let me add a couple qualifications.

00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:40.500
 I'm not saying that we should not have prolonged prayers or persistent prayer.

00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:45.559
 Maybe you'll think, well, if we shouldn't pray many words,

00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:47.339
 then all my prayer time should be really short.

00:12:47.939 --> 00:12:49.459
 Sure, that makes things easier for me, right?

00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:55.459
 I'm not saying that because if you look at Luke 6, 12,

00:12:55.539 --> 00:12:57.959
 we're told that Jesus went out on the mountainside to pray,

00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:00.739
 and it says that he prayed there all night.

00:13:03.079 --> 00:13:05.059
 Jesus prayed for long periods of time.

00:13:06.259 --> 00:13:10.059
 Every time I pick up a biography of a Christian saint,

00:13:11.059 --> 00:13:14.239
 a godly man or woman that I admire, respect,

00:13:14.619 --> 00:13:15.939
 and read about their life,

00:13:15.939 --> 00:13:19.759
 they inevitably, invariably have a robust prayer life.

00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:23.639
 They not only pray frequently,

00:13:23.740 --> 00:13:25.580
 but they pray for extended periods of time.

00:13:27.259 --> 00:13:28.740
 There are Christians who say,

00:13:29.740 --> 00:13:32.580
 you know, who pray only very short and limited prayer times,

00:13:32.740 --> 00:13:33.960
 and then they say, you know,

00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:36.460
 you know, it's quality, not quantity.

00:13:36.659 --> 00:13:37.379
 That counts.

00:13:39.179 --> 00:13:40.319
 That's true to a point,

00:13:40.439 --> 00:13:42.480
 sure, one hour of quality prayer time

00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:46.480
 is perhaps better than two hours of scattered and distracted prayer time.

00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.360
 But isn't two hours of quality prayer time

00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:51.500
 surely better than one hour of quality prayer time?

00:13:55.500 --> 00:13:58.820
 Maybe some of you are married or you have significant others.

00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:01.980
 If your significant other complains to you,

00:14:02.060 --> 00:14:04.259
 says, you know, I feel like you've been too busy lately,

00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:07.240
 and I've not gotten enough time with you,

00:14:07.300 --> 00:14:08.960
 I feel like you're not really drawing me out,

00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:10.620
 we're not having good quality conversations,

00:14:10.620 --> 00:14:12.639
 try telling them,

00:14:13.179 --> 00:14:14.320
 you know, with me,

00:14:14.500 --> 00:14:15.679
 it's quality that matters,

00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:16.360
 not quantity.

00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:19.419
 It will not go over well.

00:14:26.299 --> 00:14:28.919
 Because if you are so busy hard that you have a hard,

00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:30.659
 you are so busy that you have a hard time

00:14:30.659 --> 00:14:32.600
 even spending one hour with someone that you love,

00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.379
 then you're going to be so busy hearted

00:14:35.379 --> 00:14:37.419
 when you spend that one hour with them

00:14:37.419 --> 00:14:39.019
 that that one hour is going to be,

00:14:39.419 --> 00:14:40.779
 is not going to be a quality time.

00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:46.740
 You're going to be rushed and hurried.

00:14:47.860 --> 00:14:49.019
 Paul Miller writes in his book,

00:14:49.079 --> 00:14:49.639
 A Praying Life,

00:14:49.719 --> 00:14:50.479
 any relationship,

00:14:50.620 --> 00:14:51.459
 if it is going to grow,

00:14:51.579 --> 00:14:52.620
 needs private space,

00:14:53.319 --> 00:14:54.860
 time together without an agenda,

00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:56.639
 where you can get to know each other.

00:14:57.199 --> 00:14:58.399
 This creates an environment

00:14:58.399 --> 00:14:59.740
 where closeness can happen,

00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:02.500
 where we can begin to understand each other's hearts.

00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:04.419
 You don't create intimacy,

00:15:05.179 --> 00:15:06.779
 you make room for it.

00:15:07.419 --> 00:15:08.339
 This is true,

00:15:08.439 --> 00:15:10.000
 whether you are talking about your spouse,

00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:10.620
 your friend,

00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:11.219
 or God.

00:15:11.719 --> 00:15:13.519
 You need space to be together.

00:15:14.479 --> 00:15:14.879
 Efficiency,

00:15:15.579 --> 00:15:16.399
 multitasking,

00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:17.539
 and busyness

00:15:17.539 --> 00:15:19.819
 all kill intimacy.

00:15:20.740 --> 00:15:21.299
 In short,

00:15:21.719 --> 00:15:24.299
 you can't get to know God on the fly.

00:15:28.059 --> 00:15:29.899
 We don't pray for a long time

00:15:29.899 --> 00:15:31.539
 because we think that God only listens

00:15:31.539 --> 00:15:33.379
 if we pray over a certain number of hours.

00:15:33.459 --> 00:15:34.240
 That's not the point.

00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:36.440
 But prolonged prayer,

00:15:36.620 --> 00:15:39.600
 that's an expression of our intimate trust in God,

00:15:39.659 --> 00:15:40.100
 our Father,

00:15:40.180 --> 00:15:40.799
 is to be commended.

00:15:42.700 --> 00:15:43.139
 Secondly,

00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:45.580
 I'm also not speaking against persistent prayer.

00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:47.379
 In Matthew 26,

00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:47.940
 44,

00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:49.220
 in the Garden of Gethsemane,

00:15:49.299 --> 00:15:51.320
 shortly before his betrayal and death,

00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:51.879
 Jesus,

00:15:52.019 --> 00:15:52.440
 he says,

00:15:52.539 --> 00:15:54.440
 prayed for the third time,

00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:57.159
 saying the same words again.

00:15:57.159 --> 00:16:00.839
 My Father,

00:16:00.959 --> 00:16:01.719
 if it be possible,

00:16:01.860 --> 00:16:02.819
 remove this cup from me,

00:16:02.860 --> 00:16:03.600
 but not my will,

00:16:03.659 --> 00:16:04.379
 but yours be done.

00:16:04.500 --> 00:16:04.799
 He says,

00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:07.019
 Jesus prayed that prayer three times.

00:16:10.179 --> 00:16:10.579
 Clearly,

00:16:10.699 --> 00:16:12.500
 it's not a problem to repeat things.

00:16:14.959 --> 00:16:16.179
 But that's desperate,

00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:17.279
 persistent prayer.

00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:20.279
 Paul had a similar instance

00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:21.600
 in 2 Corinthians 12.

00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:24.279
 It says three times he pleaded with the Lord

00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:27.019
 so that a messenger of Satan

00:16:27.019 --> 00:16:29.920
 that had been harassing him in his flesh

00:16:29.920 --> 00:16:30.759
 would leave.

00:16:31.659 --> 00:16:32.740
 Three times.

00:16:33.040 --> 00:16:33.940
 Same prayers.

00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:36.800
 In Luke 18,

00:16:36.980 --> 00:16:38.320
 Jesus gives us a parable

00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:39.300
 of the persistent widow

00:16:39.300 --> 00:16:41.920
 who wore down an unrighteous human judge

00:16:41.920 --> 00:16:44.600
 by bringing her plea for justice repeatedly

00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:47.420
 until he granted her request.

00:16:47.419 --> 00:16:49.139
 So Jesus,

00:16:49.259 --> 00:16:51.059
 and then Jesus commands us

00:16:51.059 --> 00:16:52.240
 to pray like her.

00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:52.819
 He says,

00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:55.319
 to cry out to God day and night.

00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:57.059
 So Jesus does not condemn

00:16:57.059 --> 00:16:57.819
 persistent,

00:16:58.519 --> 00:16:59.819
 repeated prayers.

00:17:00.860 --> 00:17:01.779
 The difference is that

00:17:01.779 --> 00:17:03.259
 these are persistent,

00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:04.159
 repeated,

00:17:04.659 --> 00:17:05.299
 heartfelt,

00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:06.839
 faith-filled prayers,

00:17:07.779 --> 00:17:09.019
 which is a far cry

00:17:09.019 --> 00:17:10.940
 from the heaping up of empty phrases

00:17:10.940 --> 00:17:11.940
 and the vain repetitions

00:17:12.619 --> 00:17:13.899
 of many words,

00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:14.819
 thinking that

00:17:14.819 --> 00:17:16.099
 only prayers

00:17:16.099 --> 00:17:16.859
 that go above

00:17:16.859 --> 00:17:18.199
 a certain number of word count

00:17:18.199 --> 00:17:19.259
 can be heard by God.

00:17:20.059 --> 00:17:20.879
 Prayer is not a way

00:17:20.879 --> 00:17:21.939
 to manipulate God.

00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:23.740
 It's a way to submit to God,

00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:24.839
 to depend on him.

00:17:27.139 --> 00:17:28.879
 It's a conversation with God

00:17:28.879 --> 00:17:29.679
 and an outworking

00:17:29.679 --> 00:17:31.059
 of our relationship with God.

00:17:32.159 --> 00:17:33.399
 So Jesus says in verse 8,

00:17:33.479 --> 00:17:34.500
 do not be like them.

00:17:35.539 --> 00:17:36.679
 For your father knows

00:17:36.679 --> 00:17:37.299
 what you need

00:17:37.299 --> 00:17:38.959
 before you ask him.

00:17:40.639 --> 00:17:41.599
 That's so wonderful

00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:42.279
 to think about.

00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:43.359
 Do you know that

00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:44.039
 your heavenly father

00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:45.199
 knows what you need

00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:47.400
 before you ask him?

00:17:49.980 --> 00:17:50.940
 Don't think that

00:17:50.940 --> 00:17:52.460
 that he is aloof

00:17:52.460 --> 00:17:54.160
 and distant

00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:55.700
 and unaware

00:17:55.700 --> 00:17:58.000
 of our needs.

00:17:59.880 --> 00:18:01.080
 Our earthly fathers

00:18:01.080 --> 00:18:02.420
 sometimes struggle with that

00:18:02.420 --> 00:18:02.980
 because they have

00:18:02.980 --> 00:18:03.640
 limited knowledge

00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:04.700
 and they've limited attention

00:18:04.700 --> 00:18:05.819
 and they've limited time

00:18:05.819 --> 00:18:06.779
 and limited resources

00:18:06.779 --> 00:18:08.100
 and limited power,

00:18:08.220 --> 00:18:09.220
 but our heavenly father

00:18:09.220 --> 00:18:10.960
 has no such limitations.

00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:13.519
 He's attentive

00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:14.220
 to his children

00:18:14.220 --> 00:18:14.900
 and he knows

00:18:14.900 --> 00:18:15.480
 what we need

00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:16.900
 before we ask him.

00:18:17.700 --> 00:18:18.680
 God says concerning

00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:19.740
 his people in Isaiah

00:18:19.740 --> 00:18:21.640
 65 verse 24,

00:18:22.180 --> 00:18:23.900
 before they call,

00:18:24.059 --> 00:18:25.620
 I will answer.

00:18:26.360 --> 00:18:27.860
 While they are yet speaking,

00:18:28.059 --> 00:18:28.799
 I will hear.

00:18:31.420 --> 00:18:32.600
 He says in Daniel 9,

00:18:32.660 --> 00:18:33.160
 20, 21,

00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:34.740
 while Daniel was still

00:18:34.740 --> 00:18:35.819
 praying to God

00:18:35.819 --> 00:18:38.019
 that God already sent

00:18:38.019 --> 00:18:39.700
 his angel Gabriel

00:18:39.700 --> 00:18:40.759
 to answer his prayer.

00:18:42.120 --> 00:18:43.500
 In Genesis 24, 15,

00:18:43.580 --> 00:18:44.559
 when Abraham's servant

00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:46.660
 is seeking a godly wife

00:18:46.660 --> 00:18:47.960
 for his master's son,

00:18:48.100 --> 00:18:48.440
 Isaac,

00:18:48.940 --> 00:18:50.460
 he begins to pray

00:18:50.460 --> 00:18:51.759
 and he says that

00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:53.220
 before he had finished

00:18:53.220 --> 00:18:53.700
 praying,

00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:54.940
 God already answered

00:18:54.940 --> 00:18:55.319
 his prayer

00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:55.980
 because the Rebecca

00:18:55.980 --> 00:18:56.759
 is coming out

00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:58.019
 even before he's done

00:18:58.019 --> 00:18:58.420
 praying.

00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:02.480
 It's almost like,

00:19:02.819 --> 00:19:04.140
 I hope this is not

00:19:04.140 --> 00:19:04.680
 irreverent,

00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:05.779
 but it's almost like

00:19:05.779 --> 00:19:08.460
 God is a contestant

00:19:08.460 --> 00:19:09.200
 on Jeopardy

00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:11.880
 who's just like

00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:13.319
 waiting with bated breath

00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:14.420
 to hit the buzzer

00:19:14.420 --> 00:19:15.539
 to give an answer.

00:19:18.620 --> 00:19:19.620
 God is not

00:19:19.620 --> 00:19:20.420
 a reluctant,

00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:22.180
 aloof person

00:19:22.180 --> 00:19:22.940
 that you need

00:19:22.940 --> 00:19:24.900
 to pry his hands open

00:19:24.900 --> 00:19:26.360
 to get stuff

00:19:26.360 --> 00:19:27.600
 that you want from him.

00:19:29.980 --> 00:19:31.079
 He's a loving,

00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:32.660
 attentive father

00:19:32.660 --> 00:19:34.500
 and you begin

00:19:34.500 --> 00:19:35.460
 to pray to him

00:19:35.460 --> 00:19:36.440
 and he's there.

00:19:38.500 --> 00:19:39.819
 You begin to say

00:19:39.819 --> 00:19:40.819
 and you begin to speak

00:19:40.819 --> 00:19:42.039
 and he's already answering.

00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:44.840
 That's the posture

00:19:44.840 --> 00:19:45.660
 of God our father

00:19:45.660 --> 00:19:46.200
 to us.

00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:48.960
 Lloyd-Jones

00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:49.759
 puts it helpfully,

00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:51.180
 as the father cares

00:19:51.180 --> 00:19:51.819
 for the child

00:19:51.819 --> 00:19:53.019
 and looks at the child

00:19:53.019 --> 00:19:54.220
 and is concerned

00:19:54.220 --> 00:19:54.960
 about the child

00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:55.819
 and anticipates

00:19:55.819 --> 00:19:56.920
 the needs of the child,

00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:58.299
 so is God

00:19:58.299 --> 00:19:58.860
 with respect

00:19:58.860 --> 00:19:59.740
 to all those

00:19:59.740 --> 00:20:01.039
 who are in Christ Jesus.

00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:02.519
 He desires

00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:03.559
 to bless us

00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:04.700
 very much more

00:20:04.700 --> 00:20:05.700
 than we desire

00:20:05.700 --> 00:20:06.399
 to be blessed.

00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:08.500
 He has a view of us.

00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:09.659
 He has a plan

00:20:09.659 --> 00:20:10.839
 and a program for us.

00:20:10.899 --> 00:20:11.679
 He has an ambition

00:20:11.679 --> 00:20:12.339
 for us

00:20:12.339 --> 00:20:13.399
 which transcends

00:20:13.399 --> 00:20:14.379
 our highest thought

00:20:14.379 --> 00:20:15.099
 and imagination.

00:20:18.220 --> 00:20:19.179
 But if our God

00:20:19.179 --> 00:20:19.919
 so knows

00:20:19.919 --> 00:20:21.119
 what we need

00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:22.279
 before we even ask him,

00:20:23.019 --> 00:20:24.700
 why do we pray at all?

00:20:27.740 --> 00:20:28.559
 That brings us

00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:29.220
 to the second point.

00:20:29.299 --> 00:20:30.559
 Do pray like this.

00:20:30.639 --> 00:20:31.700
 Jesus says in verse 9,

00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:32.779
 pray then like this.

00:20:32.779 --> 00:20:35.039
 Our father in heaven.

00:20:35.779 --> 00:20:36.559
 Prayer is addressed

00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:37.139
 to God,

00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:39.160
 our father in heaven.

00:20:39.579 --> 00:20:40.519
 And this explains

00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:42.259
 why we pray

00:20:42.259 --> 00:20:43.879
 even when God

00:20:43.879 --> 00:20:44.879
 already knows

00:20:44.879 --> 00:20:45.819
 what we need.

00:20:47.299 --> 00:20:48.299
 Prayer is not

00:20:48.299 --> 00:20:50.059
 transactional

00:20:50.059 --> 00:20:51.559
 as much as it is

00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:52.259
 relational.

00:20:53.299 --> 00:20:54.359
 When my children

00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:55.839
 ask me

00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:57.059
 if they can have

00:20:57.059 --> 00:20:58.319
 certain foods

00:20:58.319 --> 00:20:59.639
 or if I can buy them

00:20:59.639 --> 00:21:00.720
 a certain present

00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:01.960
 or if I can help them

00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:02.680
 with their homework

00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:03.579
 or if I can play

00:21:03.579 --> 00:21:04.299
 a game with them

00:21:04.299 --> 00:21:05.440
 or watch a movie

00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:05.980
 with them,

00:21:06.420 --> 00:21:07.240
 it doesn't merely

00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:08.640
 give me useful information

00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:09.600
 so that I can know

00:21:09.600 --> 00:21:11.019
 what to act on

00:21:11.019 --> 00:21:11.940
 or what they need.

00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:12.279
 No,

00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:13.779
 it brings me joy

00:21:13.779 --> 00:21:15.980
 when they come to me

00:21:15.980 --> 00:21:17.340
 to ask me

00:21:17.340 --> 00:21:18.000
 for these things.

00:21:19.579 --> 00:21:20.380
 Even when I'm

00:21:20.380 --> 00:21:20.900
 going to say no.

00:21:20.900 --> 00:21:24.019
 I still want them

00:21:24.019 --> 00:21:24.620
 to come to me

00:21:24.620 --> 00:21:30.040
 because it brings me

00:21:30.040 --> 00:21:30.560
 delight

00:21:30.560 --> 00:21:31.640
 that my children

00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:33.660
 would ask me

00:21:33.660 --> 00:21:37.759
 because it shows

00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:38.680
 that they trust me.

00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:40.460
 It shows that they

00:21:40.460 --> 00:21:41.240
 depend on me.

00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:43.620
 It shows that they know

00:21:43.620 --> 00:21:44.420
 that I love them.

00:21:44.420 --> 00:21:48.279
 It's the same

00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:49.120
 with our Heavenly Father.

00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:49.700
 He's not

00:21:49.700 --> 00:21:50.940
 a vending machine

00:21:50.940 --> 00:21:52.019
 that's useful

00:21:52.019 --> 00:21:53.300
 only for dispensing gifts.

00:21:53.460 --> 00:21:54.120
 He's our Father

00:21:54.120 --> 00:21:54.820
 and He wants us

00:21:54.820 --> 00:21:55.300
 to come

00:21:55.300 --> 00:21:57.000
 and speak with Him

00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:58.120
 as His children.

00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:03.360
 This is why

00:22:03.360 --> 00:22:04.140
 every prayer

00:22:04.140 --> 00:22:05.200
 recorded in the Bible

00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:06.019
 begins with

00:22:06.019 --> 00:22:07.100
 an invocation

00:22:07.100 --> 00:22:07.800
 of God.

00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:08.440
 It's a personal

00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:09.640
 address to God.

00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:17.560
 Recognizing the

00:22:17.560 --> 00:22:18.240
 fatherhood of God

00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:19.220
 is key to Christian

00:22:19.220 --> 00:22:19.560
 prayer

00:22:19.560 --> 00:22:20.440
 and really a key

00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:20.980
 to the entire

00:22:20.980 --> 00:22:21.640
 Christian life.

00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:23.440
 Theologian J.I. Packer

00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:24.280
 puts it this way

00:22:24.280 --> 00:22:28.160
 in knowing God.

00:22:29.220 --> 00:22:30.000
 You sum up

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:30.460
 the whole

00:22:30.460 --> 00:22:31.100
 of New Testament

00:22:31.100 --> 00:22:31.580
 religion

00:22:31.580 --> 00:22:33.020
 if you describe it

00:22:33.020 --> 00:22:33.740
 as the knowledge

00:22:33.740 --> 00:22:34.220
 of God

00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:35.340
 as one's Holy Father.

00:22:36.340 --> 00:22:37.560
 If you want to judge

00:22:37.560 --> 00:22:38.360
 how well a person

00:22:38.360 --> 00:22:39.500
 understands Christianity

00:22:39.500 --> 00:22:40.940
 find out

00:22:40.940 --> 00:22:41.500
 how much

00:22:41.500 --> 00:22:41.900
 he makes

00:22:41.900 --> 00:22:42.400
 of the thought

00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:43.740
 of being God's child

00:22:43.740 --> 00:22:45.380
 and having God

00:22:45.380 --> 00:22:46.460
 as his father.

00:22:47.380 --> 00:22:48.240
 If this

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:49.500
 is not the thought

00:22:49.500 --> 00:22:50.339
 that prompts

00:22:50.339 --> 00:22:51.380
 and controls

00:22:51.380 --> 00:22:52.240
 his worship

00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:52.980
 and prayers

00:22:52.980 --> 00:22:53.940
 and his whole

00:22:53.940 --> 00:22:55.000
 outlook on life

00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:56.299
 it means

00:22:56.299 --> 00:22:57.119
 that he does not

00:22:57.119 --> 00:22:58.380
 understand Christianity

00:22:58.380 --> 00:22:59.759
 very well at all.

00:23:00.740 --> 00:23:01.759
 For everything

00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:02.880
 that Christ taught

00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:04.259
 is summed up

00:23:04.259 --> 00:23:04.960
 in the knowledge

00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:06.079
 of the fatherhood

00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:06.680
 of God.

00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:08.000
 Father

00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:09.480
 is the Christian

00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:10.920
 name for God.

00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:12.599
 Our understanding

00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:13.279
 of Christianity

00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:14.599
 cannot be better

00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:15.960
 than our grasp

00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:16.860
 of adoption.

00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:21.860
 Since Jesus

00:23:21.860 --> 00:23:23.460
 spoke Aramaic

00:23:23.460 --> 00:23:24.200
 during his life

00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:25.339
 when he taught

00:23:25.339 --> 00:23:25.900
 his disciples

00:23:25.900 --> 00:23:26.720
 this prayer

00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:27.980
 the word for father

00:23:27.980 --> 00:23:28.599
 that he would have

00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:29.319
 used would have

00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:29.960
 been the word

00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:30.700
 Abba

00:23:30.700 --> 00:23:32.620
 which means

00:23:32.620 --> 00:23:34.680
 father in Aramaic.

00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:36.299
 Almost every language

00:23:36.299 --> 00:23:36.940
 in the world

00:23:36.940 --> 00:23:38.539
 has a similar word

00:23:38.539 --> 00:23:39.619
 for father.

00:23:41.259 --> 00:23:42.200
 In Korean

00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:43.119
 it's Abba

00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:45.519
 in Arabic

00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:46.559
 it's Ab

00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:48.879
 in Chinese

00:23:48.879 --> 00:23:49.359
 and Swahili

00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:50.000
 it's Baba

00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:52.059
 in English

00:23:52.059 --> 00:23:52.680
 and German

00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:53.159
 Spanish

00:23:53.159 --> 00:23:53.859
 it's Papa

00:23:53.859 --> 00:23:56.299
 every language.

00:23:56.299 --> 00:24:00.200
 as the

00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:00.759
 Eastern Bible

00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:01.200
 dictionary

00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:02.139
 helpfully puts it

00:24:02.139 --> 00:24:03.200
 it is a term

00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:03.819
 Abba

00:24:03.819 --> 00:24:04.500
 it's a term

00:24:04.500 --> 00:24:05.279
 that expresses

00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:07.299
 warm affection

00:24:07.299 --> 00:24:08.879
 and filial

00:24:08.879 --> 00:24:09.720
 confidence

00:24:09.720 --> 00:24:13.940
 to capture

00:24:13.940 --> 00:24:15.519
 that familial

00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:16.240
 affection

00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:16.839
 and

00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:17.359
 and

00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:18.460
 confidence

00:24:18.460 --> 00:24:19.859
 filial confidence

00:24:19.859 --> 00:24:21.019
 the New Testament

00:24:21.019 --> 00:24:21.680
 scripture writers

00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:22.639
 sometimes preserve

00:24:22.639 --> 00:24:23.919
 that word

00:24:23.919 --> 00:24:24.519
 Abba

00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:25.339
 even though

00:24:25.339 --> 00:24:25.759
 they're writing

00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:26.259
 in Greek

00:24:26.259 --> 00:24:27.660
 you see that

00:24:27.660 --> 00:24:27.980
 in multiple

00:24:27.980 --> 00:24:28.680
 places in scripture

00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:30.879
 and this is

00:24:30.879 --> 00:24:31.720
 the sacred

00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:32.180
 privilege

00:24:32.180 --> 00:24:33.099
 of all

00:24:33.099 --> 00:24:33.599
 of God's

00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:33.940
 people

00:24:33.940 --> 00:24:36.059
 there is

00:24:36.059 --> 00:24:36.480
 a limited

00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:36.819
 sense

00:24:36.819 --> 00:24:37.099
 in which

00:24:37.099 --> 00:24:37.740
 all people

00:24:37.740 --> 00:24:38.279
 including

00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:38.759
 Christians

00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:39.740
 and non-Christians

00:24:39.740 --> 00:24:41.039
 are offspring

00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:41.519
 of God

00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:42.039
 because God

00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:42.839
 is our creator

00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:44.139
 we see that

00:24:44.139 --> 00:24:45.079
 in Acts 17

00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:46.400
 28 to 29

00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:47.359
 where Paul says

00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:48.319
 addressing

00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:48.960
 non-Christians

00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:49.579
 we are all

00:24:49.579 --> 00:24:51.000
 his offspring

00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:52.440
 but there is

00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:53.099
 a special

00:24:53.099 --> 00:24:53.599
 sense

00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:54.359
 in which

00:24:54.359 --> 00:24:55.439
 only Christians

00:24:55.439 --> 00:24:56.000
 who have

00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:56.399
 confessed

00:24:56.399 --> 00:24:56.779
 Jesus

00:24:56.779 --> 00:24:57.139
 as their

 children

00:25:25.980 --> 00:25:26.180
 of

00:25:26.180 --> 00:25:26.460
 God

00:25:26.460 --> 00:25:28.559
 17

00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:29.180
 times

00:25:29.180 --> 00:25:29.519
 on the

00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:29.880
 Sermon on the

00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:29.980
 Mount

00:25:29.980 --> 00:25:30.220
 God

00:25:30.220 --> 00:25:30.620
 is called

00:25:30.620 --> 00:25:30.920
 our

00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:31.460
 father

00:25:31.460 --> 00:25:33.519
 this

00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:33.819
 prayer

00:25:33.819 --> 00:25:34.000
 is

00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:34.360
 traditionally

00:25:34.360 --> 00:25:34.740
 called

00:25:34.740 --> 00:25:34.940
 the

00:25:34.940 --> 00:25:35.339
 Lord's

00:25:35.339 --> 00:25:35.640
 prayer

00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:37.100
 because

00:25:37.100 --> 00:25:37.380
 it's

00:25:37.380 --> 00:25:37.519
 the

00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:37.779
 prayer

00:25:37.779 --> 00:25:38.019
 that

00:25:38.019 --> 00:25:38.160
 our

00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:38.480
 Lord

00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:38.839
 Jesus

00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:39.220
 taught

00:25:39.220 --> 00:25:39.539
 us

00:25:39.539 --> 00:25:40.500
 but

00:25:40.500 --> 00:25:40.740
 it's

00:25:40.740 --> 00:25:41.079
 not

00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:41.480
 actually

00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:41.680
 a

00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:41.920
 prayer

00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:42.200
 that

00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:42.559
 Jesus

00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:42.900
 could

00:25:42.900 --> 00:25:43.039
 have

00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:43.319
 fully

00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:43.759
 prayed

00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:45.720
 because

00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:45.960
 it

00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:46.259
 speaks

00:25:46.259 --> 00:25:46.579
 of

00:25:46.579 --> 00:25:48.019
 forgiving

00:25:48.019 --> 00:25:48.400
 us

00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:48.920
 forgive

00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:49.200
 us

00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:49.359
 our

00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:49.779
 debts

00:25:49.779 --> 00:25:51.519
 Jesus

00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:51.779
 doesn't

00:25:51.779 --> 00:25:51.960
 have

00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:52.339
 sin

00:25:52.339 --> 00:25:54.019
 Hebrews

00:25:54.019 --> 00:25:54.240
 4

00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:54.579
 15

00:25:54.579 --> 00:25:54.799
 says

00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:55.079
 Jesus

00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:55.240
 was

00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:55.579
 without

00:25:55.579 --> 00:25:55.879
 sin

00:25:55.879 --> 00:25:56.000
 so

00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:56.119
 he

00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:56.299
 could

00:25:56.299 --> 00:25:56.559
 not

00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:56.859
 pray

00:25:56.859 --> 00:25:57.180
 forgive

00:25:57.180 --> 00:25:57.519
 us

00:25:57.519 --> 00:25:58.119
 our

00:25:58.119 --> 00:25:58.500
 debts

00:25:58.500 --> 00:26:00.099
 this

00:26:00.099 --> 00:26:00.299
 is

00:26:00.299 --> 00:26:00.660
 instead

00:26:00.660 --> 00:26:00.879
 a

00:26:00.879 --> 00:26:01.220
 prayer

00:26:01.220 --> 00:26:01.539
 for

 disciples

00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:02.539
 of

00:26:02.539 --> 00:26:02.799
 Jesus

00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:03.079
 it's

00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:03.220
 the

00:26:03.220 --> 00:26:03.539
 prayer

00:26:03.539 --> 00:26:03.900
 of

 I

 yourself

00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:30.539
 primarily

00:44:07.860 --> 00:44:08.119
 for

00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:08.480
 that

00:44:08.480 --> 00:44:08.820
 day

00:44:08.820 --> 00:44:09.920
 and

00:44:09.920 --> 00:44:10.099
 if

00:44:10.099 --> 00:44:10.619
 everyone

00:44:10.619 --> 00:44:10.900
 got

00:44:10.900 --> 00:44:11.220
 greedy

00:44:11.220 --> 00:44:11.400
 and

00:44:11.400 --> 00:44:11.700
 collected

00:44:11.700 --> 00:44:12.099
 more

00:44:12.099 --> 00:44:12.380
 it

00:44:12.380 --> 00:44:12.539
 would

00:44:12.539 --> 00:44:13.000
 rot

00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:13.220
 and

00:44:13.220 --> 00:44:13.539
 stink

00:44:13.539 --> 00:44:13.680
 it

00:44:13.680 --> 00:44:13.800
 would

00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:14.019
 become

00:44:14.019 --> 00:44:14.500
 inedible

00:44:14.500 --> 00:44:14.800
 the

00:44:14.800 --> 00:44:15.059
 next

00:44:15.059 --> 00:44:15.320
 day

00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:16.480
 and

00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:16.760
 whatever

00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:17.000
 was

00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:17.320
 left

00:44:17.320 --> 00:44:17.559
 over

00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:17.720
 and

00:44:17.720 --> 00:44:17.900
 was

00:44:17.900 --> 00:44:18.119
 not

00:44:18.119 --> 00:44:18.380
 picked

00:44:18.380 --> 00:44:18.579
 up

00:44:18.579 --> 00:44:18.720
 on

00:44:18.720 --> 00:44:18.880
 the

00:44:18.880 --> 00:44:19.240
 field

00:44:19.240 --> 00:44:19.700
 would

00:44:19.700 --> 00:44:20.180
 dissolve

00:44:20.180 --> 00:44:20.500
 under

00:44:20.500 --> 00:44:20.680
 the

00:44:20.680 --> 00:44:20.860
 heat

00:44:20.860 --> 00:44:20.960

00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:21.360

00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:22.599
 it's

00:44:22.599 --> 00:44:22.980
 amazing

00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:25.159
 bread

00:44:25.159 --> 00:44:26.220
 engineered

00:44:26.220 --> 00:44:27.119

00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:27.400
 heaven

00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:28.280

00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:30.220
 dependence

00:44:30.220 --> 00:44:33.400
 so

00:44:33.400 --> 00:44:33.559
 you

00:44:33.559 --> 00:44:33.820
 can't

00:44:35.840 --> 00:44:36.240
 waiting

00:44:36.240 --> 00:44:36.440
 for

00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:36.680
 you

00:44:36.680 --> 00:44:37.559
 you

00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:37.840
 have

00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:38.059

 didn't

00:45:27.859 --> 00:45:28.099
 when

 they

00:45:28.259 --> 00:45:28.539
 finally

00:45:28.539 --> 00:45:29.099
 realized

 they're

 parents

00:45:33.139 --> 00:45:34.420
 when

 they

00:45:34.559 --> 00:45:34.880
 finally

00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:35.400
 realized

00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:35.659
 that

00:45:35.659 --> 00:45:35.799
 they

00:45:35.799 --> 00:45:35.920
 are

00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:36.619
 sons

00:45:36.619 --> 00:45:37.319
 they

00:45:37.319 --> 00:45:37.920
 stopped

00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:38.299
 hiding

00:45:38.299 --> 00:45:38.460
 the

00:45:38.460 --> 00:45:38.639
 food

00:45:38.639 --> 00:45:38.819
 and

00:45:38.819 --> 00:45:39.079
 started

00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:39.480
 depending

00:45:39.480 --> 00:45:39.659
 on

00:45:39.659 --> 00:45:39.779
 their

00:45:39.779 --> 00:45:40.039
 father

00:45:40.039 --> 00:45:40.239
 to

00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:40.579
 provide

00:45:40.579 --> 00:45:44.759
 if

00:45:44.759 --> 00:45:44.980
 you're

00:45:44.980 --> 00:45:45.420
 a

00:45:45.420 --> 00:45:45.619
 parent

00:45:45.619 --> 00:45:45.839
 like

00:45:45.839 --> 00:45:46.000
 me

00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:46.179
 you're

00:45:46.179 --> 00:45:46.380
 probably

00:45:46.380 --> 00:45:46.699
 often

00:45:46.699 --> 00:45:46.960
 telling

00:45:46.960 --> 00:45:47.139
 your

00:45:47.139 --> 00:45:47.420
 kids

00:45:47.420 --> 00:45:48.019
 finish

 your

00:45:48.319 --> 00:45:48.739
 food

00:45:48.739 --> 00:45:49.359
 you know

00:45:49.359 --> 00:45:51.900
 but

00:45:51.900 --> 00:45:52.079
 if

00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:52.159
 you

00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:52.339
 think

00:45:52.339 --> 00:45:52.500
 about

00:45:52.500 --> 00:45:52.579
 it

00:45:52.579 --> 00:45:52.759
 this

00:45:52.759 --> 00:45:53.019
 way

00:45:53.019 --> 00:45:53.759
 it's

00:45:53.759 --> 00:45:54.019
 actually

00:45:54.019 --> 00:45:54.500
 something

00:45:54.500 --> 00:45:54.739
 to be

00:45:54.739 --> 00:45:54.980
 really

00:45:54.980 --> 00:45:55.340
 grateful

00:45:55.340 --> 00:45:55.679
 for

00:47:40.539 --> 00:47:40.659
 to

00:47:40.659 --> 00:47:40.860
 pray

00:47:40.860 --> 00:47:41.199
 more

00:47:41.199 --> 00:47:43.719
 it's

00:47:43.719 --> 00:47:44.259
 poverty

00:47:44.259 --> 00:47:44.480
 of

00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:44.960
 spirit

00:47:44.960 --> 00:47:46.420
 it's

00:47:46.420 --> 00:47:46.940
 humility

00:47:46.940 --> 00:47:47.860
 it's

00:47:47.860 --> 00:47:48.539
 neediness

00:47:48.539 --> 00:47:48.940
 before

00:47:48.940 --> 00:47:49.279
 God

00:47:49.279 --> 00:47:49.599
 that

00:47:49.599 --> 00:47:50.199
 drives

00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:50.380
 us

00:47:50.380 --> 00:47:50.539
 to

00:47:50.539 --> 00:47:50.819
 prayer

00:47:50.819 --> 00:47:54.239
 more

00:47:54.239 --> 00:47:54.659
 mature

00:47:54.659 --> 00:47:55.159
 Christians

00:47:55.159 --> 00:47:55.440
 do

00:47:55.440 --> 00:47:55.739
 pray

00:47:55.739 --> 00:47:55.940
 more

00:47:55.940 --> 00:47:56.139
 that

00:47:56.139 --> 00:47:56.279
 is

00:47:56.279 --> 00:47:56.659
 true

00:47:56.659 --> 00:47:57.579
 but

00:47:57.579 --> 00:47:57.699
 it's

00:47:57.699 --> 00:47:57.860
 not

00:47:57.860 --> 00:47:58.139
 because

00:47:58.139 --> 00:47:58.259
 of

00:47:58.259 --> 00:47:58.400
 how

00:47:58.400 --> 00:47:58.840
 strong

00:47:58.840 --> 00:47:59.039
 they

00:47:59.039 --> 00:47:59.239
 are

00:47:59.239 --> 00:48:00.900
 it's

00:48:00.900 --> 00:48:01.219
 because

00:48:01.219 --> 00:48:01.480
 of

00:48:01.480 --> 00:48:01.759
 how

00:48:01.759 --> 00:48:02.259
 keenly

00:48:02.259 --> 00:48:02.559
 aware

00:48:02.559 --> 00:48:02.759
 they

00:48:02.759 --> 00:48:02.900
 are

00:48:02.900 --> 00:48:03.059
 of

00:48:03.059 --> 00:48:03.299
 their

00:48:03.299 --> 00:48:04.000
 weakness

00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:08.420
 I think

00:48:08.420 --> 00:48:08.619
 I have

00:48:08.619 --> 00:48:09.079
 a diagram

00:48:09.079 --> 00:48:09.659
 to show

00:48:09.659 --> 00:48:10.179
 here

00:48:10.179 --> 00:48:13.079
 people

00:48:13.079 --> 00:48:14.279
 am I

00:48:14.279 --> 00:48:14.559
 is my

00:48:14.559 --> 00:48:14.739
 head

00:48:14.739 --> 00:48:14.920
 in the

00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:15.099
 way

00:48:15.099 --> 00:48:15.920
 is

00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:16.179
 the

00:48:16.179 --> 00:48:17.199
 the

00:48:17.199 --> 00:48:18.039
 there's

00:48:18.039 --> 00:48:18.860
 this

00:48:18.860 --> 00:48:19.960
 diagram

00:48:19.960 --> 00:48:20.420
 of when

00:48:20.420 --> 00:48:20.639
 you're

00:48:20.639 --> 00:48:21.059
 when you're

00:48:21.059 --> 00:48:21.420
 a new

00:48:21.420 --> 00:48:21.819
 Christian

00:48:21.819 --> 00:48:22.159
 a relatively

00:48:22.159 --> 00:48:22.400
 new

00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:22.739
 Christian

00:48:22.739 --> 00:48:23.059
 you

00:48:23.059 --> 00:48:23.860
 you see

00:48:23.860 --> 00:48:24.519
 only little

00:48:24.519 --> 00:48:24.799
 bits

00:48:24.799 --> 00:48:25.119
 of your

00:48:25.119 --> 00:48:25.480
 sin

00:48:25.480 --> 00:48:26.559
 and you

00:48:26.559 --> 00:48:26.779
 see

00:48:26.779 --> 00:48:27.179
 little

00:48:27.179 --> 00:48:27.519
 need

00:48:27.519 --> 00:48:27.699
 for

00:48:27.699 --> 00:48:28.019
 God

00:48:28.019 --> 00:48:29.000
 and so

00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:29.219
 the

00:48:29.219 --> 00:48:29.880
 cross

00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:30.039
 of

00:48:30.039 --> 00:48:30.320
 Christ

00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:30.800
 only need

00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:30.980
 be

00:48:30.980 --> 00:48:31.539
 a big

00:48:31.539 --> 00:48:32.239
 and

00:48:32.239 --> 00:48:32.579
 sufficient

00:48:32.579 --> 00:48:33.139
 to bridge

00:48:33.139 --> 00:48:33.559
 that gap

00:48:33.559 --> 00:48:33.780
 between

00:48:33.780 --> 00:48:33.940
 you

00:48:33.940 --> 00:48:34.079
 and

00:48:34.079 --> 00:48:34.340
 God

00:48:34.340 --> 00:48:34.860
 or

00:48:34.860 --> 00:48:35.059
 at least

00:48:35.059 --> 00:48:35.239
 that's

00:48:35.239 --> 00:48:35.340
 how

00:48:35.340 --> 00:48:35.440
 you

00:48:35.440 --> 00:48:35.780
 perceive

00:48:35.780 --> 00:48:36.019
 it

00:48:36.019 --> 00:48:36.759
 the

00:48:36.759 --> 00:48:36.980
 more

00:48:36.980 --> 00:48:37.139
 you

00:48:37.139 --> 00:48:37.380
 grow

00:48:37.380 --> 00:48:37.500
 in

00:48:37.500 --> 00:48:37.820
 maturity

00:48:37.820 --> 00:48:38.000
 the

00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:38.259
 more

00:48:38.259 --> 00:48:38.440
 you

00:48:38.440 --> 00:48:38.900
 realize

00:48:38.900 --> 00:48:39.079
 that

00:48:39.079 --> 00:48:39.320
 your

00:48:39.320 --> 00:48:39.860
 distance

00:48:39.860 --> 00:48:40.159
 the

00:48:40.159 --> 00:48:40.539
 distance

00:48:40.539 --> 00:48:40.820
 between

00:48:40.820 --> 00:48:41.000
 you

00:48:41.000 --> 00:48:41.139
 and

00:48:41.139 --> 00:48:41.380
 God

00:48:41.380 --> 00:48:41.599
 is

00:48:41.599 --> 00:48:42.539
 insurmountable

00:48:42.539 --> 00:48:42.800
 it

00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:42.940
 is

00:48:42.940 --> 00:48:43.980
 unfathomable

00:48:43.980 --> 00:48:45.019
 and the

00:48:45.019 --> 00:48:45.219
 more

00:48:45.219 --> 00:48:45.500
 you get

00:48:45.500 --> 00:48:45.800
 to know

00:48:45.800 --> 00:48:46.059
 God

00:48:46.059 --> 00:48:46.239
 and his

00:48:46.239 --> 00:48:46.460
 holiness

00:48:46.460 --> 00:48:46.659
 the

00:48:46.659 --> 00:48:46.900
 more

00:48:46.900 --> 00:48:47.239
 aware

00:52:00.720 --> 00:52:00.880
 who

00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:01.099
 owes

00:52:01.099 --> 00:52:01.260
 him

00:52:01.260 --> 00:52:01.380
 a

00:52:01.380 --> 00:52:01.599
 meager

00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:02.380
 $12,000

00:52:02.380 --> 00:52:02.800
 in

00:52:02.800 --> 00:52:03.240
 comparison

00:52:03.240 --> 00:52:04.079
 and

00:52:04.079 --> 00:52:04.559
 chokes

00:52:04.559 --> 00:52:04.780
 him

00:52:04.780 --> 00:52:04.940
 and

00:52:04.940 --> 00:52:05.119
 says

00:52:05.119 --> 00:52:05.300
 you

00:52:05.300 --> 00:52:05.559
 must

00:52:05.559 --> 00:52:05.900
 repay

00:52:05.900 --> 00:52:06.280
 everything

00:52:06.280 --> 00:52:06.500
 you

00:52:06.500 --> 00:52:06.680
 owe

00:52:06.680 --> 00:52:06.880
 me

00:52:07.780 --> 00:52:09.539
 And then when the king sees that, he says,

00:52:09.740 --> 00:52:11.720
 you've been forgiven 7.2 billion.

00:52:14.640 --> 00:52:16.539
 Clearly, you have not even understood

00:52:16.539 --> 00:52:18.320
 the magnitude of my forgiveness.

00:52:18.860 --> 00:52:21.360
 If that's how you will treat your fellow servant,

00:52:21.500 --> 00:52:23.400
 then you will be expected to repay back everything.

00:52:26.760 --> 00:52:28.220
 The principle is this,

00:52:28.340 --> 00:52:30.300
 the forgiven people forgive others.

00:52:32.099 --> 00:52:35.000
 Our forgiveness of other people who sin against us

00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:37.800
 is a true test of whether or not we have really believed

00:52:37.800 --> 00:52:38.960
 in the forgiveness of God.

00:52:40.360 --> 00:52:42.079
 Whether we have really grasped

00:52:42.079 --> 00:52:43.920
 God's radical forgiveness for us.

00:52:44.300 --> 00:52:46.659
 Our forgiveness of others is the fruit,

00:52:46.980 --> 00:52:49.079
 the proof, the evidence of the forgiveness

00:52:49.079 --> 00:52:50.280
 we have received from God.

00:52:51.219 --> 00:52:53.099
 That's why he says in Ephesians 4.32,

00:52:53.280 --> 00:52:57.280
 forgive one another as God in Christ forgave you.

00:52:59.360 --> 00:53:02.500
 And that's why if we don't forgive others

00:53:02.500 --> 00:53:03.940
 when they sin against us,

00:53:03.940 --> 00:53:05.639
 it will be evidence against us

00:53:05.639 --> 00:53:07.099
 that we have never truly grasped

00:53:07.099 --> 00:53:08.539
 the forgiveness we have received from God.

00:53:11.079 --> 00:53:13.139
 And the final petition of the children's prayer

00:53:13.139 --> 00:53:13.960
 is for protection.

00:53:14.200 --> 00:53:15.519
 Lead us not into temptation,

00:53:15.639 --> 00:53:16.780
 but deliver us from evil.

00:53:17.820 --> 00:53:19.659
 The prayer for pardon for sin

00:53:19.659 --> 00:53:21.559
 flows naturally to prayer for protection.

00:53:21.679 --> 00:53:23.119
 They might be kept from further sins.

00:53:24.519 --> 00:53:26.579
 The word tempt is sometimes translated

00:53:26.579 --> 00:53:28.340
 elsewhere in scripture as the word test.

00:53:28.740 --> 00:53:30.179
 It really depends on the context.

00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:31.679
 When you tempt someone,

00:53:31.679 --> 00:53:33.159
 it's the devil who tempts people.

00:53:33.679 --> 00:53:35.179
 He tempts to make them fail,

00:53:35.279 --> 00:53:36.179
 to discredit them.

00:53:36.259 --> 00:53:37.839
 When God tests his people,

00:53:38.259 --> 00:53:40.219
 he does it to refine them

00:53:40.219 --> 00:53:41.519
 and to accredit them,

00:53:41.679 --> 00:53:42.879
 not to discredit them.

00:53:46.460 --> 00:53:49.039
 James 1.13 tells us that God cannot tempt.

00:53:49.119 --> 00:53:50.259
 He does not tempt anyone.

00:53:50.899 --> 00:53:52.940
 But we were told in Matthew 4.1

00:53:52.940 --> 00:53:54.859
 that God himself led Jesus up

00:53:54.859 --> 00:53:56.559
 by the spirit into the wilderness

00:53:56.559 --> 00:53:58.860
 to be tempted by the devil.

00:54:01.860 --> 00:54:03.199
 So for Christians,

00:54:03.619 --> 00:54:06.179
 we seek God's help for such times.

00:54:06.659 --> 00:54:08.320
 We don't cultivate this

00:54:08.320 --> 00:54:12.380
 warrior bravado that says,

00:54:12.759 --> 00:54:14.380
 bring all the temptations.

00:54:15.039 --> 00:54:16.099
 I will face them all.

00:54:16.099 --> 00:54:21.519
 If you have fallen upon your face

00:54:21.519 --> 00:54:22.659
 enough times like I have,

00:54:22.739 --> 00:54:24.159
 you never pray that kind of prayer.

00:54:25.799 --> 00:54:27.099
 You pray desperately,

00:54:27.400 --> 00:54:30.139
 Father, lead me not into temptation.

00:54:31.880 --> 00:54:33.559
 And when you are led into temptation

00:54:33.559 --> 00:54:34.179
 by the devil,

00:54:34.279 --> 00:54:35.360
 when you are tested by God,

00:54:35.400 --> 00:54:35.900
 then you pray,

00:54:36.199 --> 00:54:37.839
 Father, deliver me from evil.

00:54:38.400 --> 00:54:39.559
 Deliver us from evil.

00:54:40.860 --> 00:54:41.500
 Brothers and sisters,

00:54:41.639 --> 00:54:43.059
 I know many of you sometimes struggle

00:54:43.059 --> 00:54:44.019
 with different sins

00:54:44.019 --> 00:54:44.679
 and besetting sins

00:54:44.679 --> 00:54:45.819
 and you wrestle with them.

00:54:46.239 --> 00:54:47.859
 But have you gone to God

00:54:47.859 --> 00:54:49.699
 to fetch power for you

00:54:49.699 --> 00:54:50.799
 to fight those sins?

00:54:51.879 --> 00:54:53.440
 There is power for you.

00:54:54.059 --> 00:54:55.239
 God the Father is waiting.

00:54:55.319 --> 00:54:56.460
 He's waiting at the ready

00:54:56.460 --> 00:54:57.559
 to hit that buzzer,

00:54:57.639 --> 00:54:58.239
 to go,

00:54:58.899 --> 00:54:59.739
 to answer,

00:55:00.099 --> 00:55:01.079
 to help you.

00:55:07.719 --> 00:55:08.480
 But of course,

00:55:08.579 --> 00:55:09.639
 I've taken for granted

00:55:09.639 --> 00:55:10.779
 that we are his children.

00:55:12.359 --> 00:55:13.440
 How can we,

00:55:13.440 --> 00:55:15.079
 who have sinned so much,

00:55:15.159 --> 00:55:16.340
 who have rebelled against God

00:55:16.340 --> 00:55:16.980
 so much,

00:55:17.800 --> 00:55:21.059
 still have the shamelessness

00:55:21.059 --> 00:55:21.860
 to come to God,

00:55:22.300 --> 00:55:23.400
 approach him as our Father

00:55:23.400 --> 00:55:24.019
 and ask him?

00:55:28.019 --> 00:55:28.559
 You know,

00:55:28.639 --> 00:55:30.079
 God has always had a soft side

00:55:30.079 --> 00:55:30.659
 for orphans.

00:55:31.320 --> 00:55:32.340
 That's good news for us.

00:55:34.220 --> 00:55:35.200
 He's called the Father

00:55:35.200 --> 00:55:35.920
 of the fatherless

00:55:35.920 --> 00:55:37.360
 in Psalm 68, verse 5.

00:55:38.360 --> 00:55:38.940
 In you,

00:55:39.099 --> 00:55:40.460
 it says in Hosea 14, 3,

00:55:40.460 --> 00:55:42.159
 the orphan finds mercy.

00:55:44.519 --> 00:55:45.880
 We don't have that many orphans

00:55:45.880 --> 00:55:47.860
 around us here in Cambridge,

00:55:47.920 --> 00:55:48.599
 but there are some,

00:55:48.820 --> 00:55:50.740
 and we partner with the,

00:55:50.740 --> 00:55:54.300
 the foster care organization

00:55:54.300 --> 00:55:55.619
 that we have here in Cambridge

00:55:55.619 --> 00:55:56.840
 every Christmas

00:55:56.840 --> 00:55:57.720
 to get them gifts.

00:55:59.079 --> 00:55:59.820
 But can you imagine

00:55:59.820 --> 00:56:01.800
 the pain of being an orphan,

00:56:02.039 --> 00:56:02.720
 a true orphan?

00:56:02.719 --> 00:56:04.719
 Imagine the insecurity,

00:56:05.239 --> 00:56:06.459
 the low self-worth,

00:56:06.779 --> 00:56:08.319
 the fear of being unloved

00:56:08.319 --> 00:56:09.399
 and unwanted.

00:56:10.459 --> 00:56:12.000
 Imagine the kind of identity crisis

00:56:12.000 --> 00:56:12.719
 that they go through.

00:56:12.839 --> 00:56:13.419
 Who am I?

00:56:13.659 --> 00:56:14.379
 Where do I belong?

00:56:15.399 --> 00:56:16.980
 Imagine being a child,

00:56:17.319 --> 00:56:18.019
 a child,

00:56:18.159 --> 00:56:19.699
 and having to provide for yourself,

00:56:20.099 --> 00:56:21.419
 having to fend for yourself

00:56:21.419 --> 00:56:23.179
 in this world of grown men,

00:56:24.299 --> 00:56:25.439
 harsh world of men.

00:56:26.119 --> 00:56:27.260
 Is it any surprise

00:56:27.260 --> 00:56:28.220
 that traffickers

00:56:28.220 --> 00:56:29.860
 often prey on orphans?

00:56:30.380 --> 00:56:31.800
 They target children

00:56:31.800 --> 00:56:32.679
 living in poverty

00:56:32.679 --> 00:56:33.599
 in foster homes

00:56:33.599 --> 00:56:34.159
 and groups homes

00:56:34.159 --> 00:56:35.039
 or on the streets

00:56:35.039 --> 00:56:37.639
 because they have no father

00:56:37.639 --> 00:56:38.579
 to protect them.

00:56:41.440 --> 00:56:43.179
 According to the National Council

00:56:43.179 --> 00:56:44.900
 of Juvenile and Family Court judges,

00:56:45.019 --> 00:56:46.460
 an estimated 60%

00:56:46.460 --> 00:56:49.320
 of all child sex trafficking victims

00:56:49.320 --> 00:56:50.220
 have histories

00:56:50.220 --> 00:56:51.639
 in the child welfare system.

00:56:51.639 --> 00:56:56.980
 In a spiritual sense,

00:56:57.379 --> 00:56:59.199
 we were all one of those

00:56:59.199 --> 00:57:00.039
 trafficked children.

00:57:02.759 --> 00:57:05.319
 We were all orphans,

00:57:05.839 --> 00:57:07.940
 exploited, abused,

00:57:08.579 --> 00:57:11.879
 and raped by Satan

00:57:11.879 --> 00:57:13.519
 and these evil forces

00:57:13.519 --> 00:57:15.839
 at work in our sinful world,

00:57:15.960 --> 00:57:17.400
 this depraved world.

00:57:17.539 --> 00:57:20.159
 We were enslaved to sin and death.

00:57:20.159 --> 00:57:22.399
 That's what we were,

00:57:22.519 --> 00:57:23.399
 all of us.

00:57:24.759 --> 00:57:26.319
 But it says in Galatians 4,

00:57:26.399 --> 00:57:26.899
 4 to 7,

00:57:27.000 --> 00:57:28.639
 when the fullness of time had come,

00:57:29.000 --> 00:57:30.819
 God sent forth his son

00:57:30.819 --> 00:57:31.879
 born of a woman,

00:57:32.440 --> 00:57:33.619
 born under the law

00:57:33.619 --> 00:57:35.239
 to redeem those

00:57:35.239 --> 00:57:36.259
 who are under the law

00:57:36.259 --> 00:57:37.739
 so that we might receive

00:57:37.739 --> 00:57:39.739
 adoption as sons.

00:57:40.679 --> 00:57:42.299
 And because you are sons,

00:57:42.420 --> 00:57:43.539
 God has sent the spirit

00:57:43.539 --> 00:57:44.679
 of his son into our hearts

00:57:44.679 --> 00:57:44.980
 saying,

00:57:45.279 --> 00:57:46.299
 Abba, Father,

00:57:46.819 --> 00:57:48.319
 so you are no longer a slave

00:57:48.319 --> 00:57:49.039
 but a son,

00:57:49.039 --> 00:57:49.840
 and if a son,

00:57:49.920 --> 00:57:50.500
 then an heir

00:57:50.500 --> 00:57:51.980
 through God.

00:57:52.599 --> 00:57:53.820
 God saw us

00:57:53.820 --> 00:57:55.699
 in our desperate state

00:57:55.699 --> 00:57:56.360
 as orphans

00:57:56.360 --> 00:57:57.619
 and he sent his only son,

00:57:57.719 --> 00:57:58.440
 Jesus Christ,

00:57:58.599 --> 00:58:00.539
 to pay the ransom price

00:58:00.539 --> 00:58:01.400
 for our freedom,

00:58:02.139 --> 00:58:03.139
 to win our freedom,

00:58:03.239 --> 00:58:04.059
 to rescue us

00:58:04.059 --> 00:58:04.880
 from that slavery

00:58:04.880 --> 00:58:05.860
 and then so that

00:58:05.860 --> 00:58:06.840
 he can tell us,

00:58:07.400 --> 00:58:09.239
 you have a father now.

00:58:10.679 --> 00:58:12.380
 You are my child now.

00:58:13.440 --> 00:58:14.880
 So don't you go on living

00:58:14.880 --> 00:58:16.019
 like that orphan again.

00:58:16.019 --> 00:58:19.880
 That's what Jesus did for us

00:58:19.880 --> 00:58:21.039
 when he died for our sins

00:58:21.039 --> 00:58:21.599
 on the cross

00:58:21.599 --> 00:58:23.079
 and was raised from the dead.

00:58:24.139 --> 00:58:25.579
 He secured for us

00:58:25.579 --> 00:58:26.219
 our redemption

00:58:26.219 --> 00:58:27.139
 and our adoption

00:58:27.139 --> 00:58:29.179
 and that's why

00:58:29.179 --> 00:58:30.199
 he says in John 16

00:58:30.199 --> 00:58:31.039
 that when we pray,

00:58:31.159 --> 00:58:33.000
 we pray in the name of Jesus.

00:58:33.179 --> 00:58:34.579
 We pray out of our union

00:58:34.579 --> 00:58:35.380
 with Christ,

00:58:35.519 --> 00:58:36.380
 God's only son

00:58:36.380 --> 00:58:37.360
 because we now have

00:58:37.360 --> 00:58:38.119
 that sonship

00:58:38.119 --> 00:58:39.420
 and direct access

00:58:39.420 --> 00:58:41.340
 to God the Father.

00:58:41.340 --> 00:58:53.380
 You guys will have

00:58:53.380 --> 00:58:54.380
 to talk about more of this

00:58:54.380 --> 00:58:55.079
 in CGs.

00:58:56.360 --> 00:58:57.420
 There's so much here

00:58:57.420 --> 00:58:58.480
 that we can unpack

00:58:58.480 --> 00:58:59.240
 but I'm going to pray

00:58:59.240 --> 00:59:00.160
 and close now.

00:59:05.420 --> 00:59:05.820
 Father,

00:59:05.820 --> 00:59:05.900
 Father,

00:59:05.900 --> 00:59:05.900


00:59:05.900 --> 00:59:05.900


00:59:05.900 --> 00:59:05.900


00:59:05.900 --> 00:59:05.900


00:59:05.900 --> 00:59:05.900


00:59:05.900 --> 00:59:05.900


00:59:05.900 --> 00:59:05.900


00:59:05.900 --> 00:59:05.900


00:59:05.900 --> 00:59:05.900


00:59:11.340 --> 00:59:13.360
 show us what it means

00:59:13.360 --> 00:59:14.820
 that you are our Father.

00:59:17.640 --> 00:59:18.980
 Teach us how to be

00:59:18.980 --> 00:59:20.260
 more childlike

00:59:20.260 --> 00:59:21.640
 in our faith,

00:59:22.260 --> 00:59:22.940
 in our humility,

00:59:23.380 --> 00:59:24.579
 in our dependence on you.

00:59:27.920 --> 00:59:29.120
 So we might pray

00:59:29.120 --> 00:59:30.200
 as you want us to,

00:59:30.539 --> 00:59:31.680
 as you command us to

00:59:31.680 --> 00:59:33.079
 here in this passage.

00:59:34.100 --> 00:59:35.420
 In Jesus' name we pray.

00:59:35.800 --> 00:59:36.059
 Amen.

00:59:36.059 --> 00:59:36.160
 Amen.
