WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.100
 Please pray with me again before we get going.

00:00:08.419 --> 00:00:09.040
 Father,

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:09.120
 Father,

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:09.160
 Father,

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.000
 Father,

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:32.000
 Father,

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:33.000
 Father,

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.820
 just glorified tonight in every single person that is here.

00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:39.100
 And Father,

00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:40.820
 for those that are here that do not know you,

00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:44.000
 that are not following you,

00:00:45.219 --> 00:00:50.019
 whose life is not reflecting yours,

00:00:50.579 --> 00:00:54.400
 and who are spurning the grace of God,

00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:57.760
 who are cheapening the salvation they have received,

00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:00.399
 God,

00:01:00.460 --> 00:01:01.979
 I pray that you would just convict us,

00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:03.179
 and you would give us grace,

00:01:03.839 --> 00:01:04.719
 Lord Jesus,

00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:07.200
 to be free from these things,

00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:11.299
 and to glorify you as you are worthy to be glorified,

00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:13.319
 and to worship you as you are worthy to be worshipped,

00:01:13.379 --> 00:01:16.759
 and to just enjoy you as you are worthy to be enjoyed.

00:01:17.780 --> 00:01:18.219
 God,

00:01:18.259 --> 00:01:20.239
 you are the greatest thing that anyone can have,

00:01:21.459 --> 00:01:26.039
 and I just pray that you would help me to communicate that tonight,

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:27.659
 for your glory,

00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:28.000
 Lord.

00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:29.880
 Amen.

00:01:32.820 --> 00:01:33.840
 About a year and a half ago,

00:01:33.900 --> 00:01:38.020
 a friend of mine was really going through some difficult things,

00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:43.140
 and some things that happened in his life that led to depression for him,

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:44.360
 and just a lot of discouragement.

00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.540
 Some serious affliction had taken place,

00:01:48.620 --> 00:01:53.360
 and just a series of events that really kind of subverted his joy.

00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.420
 And this person,

00:01:57.879 --> 00:01:59.739
 while he was very much affected by it,

00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:01.579
 was a lover of Christ,

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:02.359
 and he was a Christian,

00:02:02.539 --> 00:02:05.920
 and he would often,

00:02:06.659 --> 00:02:09.080
 I would often find him praying and appealing to God,

00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:09.800
 and he was groaning,

00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:10.979
 he was mourning,

00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:11.879
 he was sorrowful,

00:02:11.939 --> 00:02:12.699
 he was in pain,

00:02:12.699 --> 00:02:14.619
 but he was loving Christ,

00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:15.859
 he was going to Christ,

00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.539
 because that's what he knew was going to be the answer for him.

00:02:20.019 --> 00:02:20.719
 During that time,

00:02:20.780 --> 00:02:21.519
 he would say things like,

00:02:21.579 --> 00:02:23.419
 I only have a friend in Jesus,

00:02:23.579 --> 00:02:24.899
 he's the only one that I can go to,

00:02:24.939 --> 00:02:26.459
 he's the only one that I can find peace from,

00:02:26.519 --> 00:02:28.479
 he's the only one that can content my heart,

00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:29.359
 and if I'm not praying to him,

00:02:29.399 --> 00:02:30.199
 if I'm not with him,

00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:32.799
 then I'm just depressed.

00:02:35.219 --> 00:02:36.839
 I once asked him as well,

00:02:36.899 --> 00:02:37.799
 what do you pray for?

00:02:39.500 --> 00:02:40.939
 What is it that you pray for?

00:02:41.679 --> 00:02:42.579
 And he said to me,

00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:44.699
 I pray this,

00:02:44.780 --> 00:02:45.019
 Lord,

00:02:45.539 --> 00:02:46.679
 may my circumstances

00:02:46.679 --> 00:02:49.259
 not affect my relationship with Christ,

00:02:49.780 --> 00:02:51.780
 but may my relationship with Christ

00:02:51.780 --> 00:02:53.299
 affect my circumstances.

00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:55.560
 I thought that was

00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:57.339
 a really, really good word,

00:02:57.379 --> 00:02:58.199
 it was a good prayer.

00:02:58.479 --> 00:02:59.840
 It meant a lot to him,

00:02:59.859 --> 00:03:00.599
 and it meant a lot to me.

00:03:01.799 --> 00:03:02.479
 But essentially,

00:03:02.579 --> 00:03:03.179
 what he was saying was

00:03:03.179 --> 00:03:04.599
 he wanted the joy of his Lord

00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:06.139
 to overcome the joy,

00:03:06.299 --> 00:03:08.159
 or to overcome the sorrow of his flesh.

00:03:09.179 --> 00:03:09.399
 Right?

00:03:09.659 --> 00:03:11.139
 The joy that he had in Christ

00:03:11.139 --> 00:03:12.139
 to overcome the sorrow

00:03:12.139 --> 00:03:13.259
 that he felt in his flesh.

00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:15.539
 And during this time,

00:03:15.579 --> 00:03:16.859
 he had a keen sense of awareness

00:03:16.859 --> 00:03:17.739
 for the salvation

00:03:17.739 --> 00:03:19.159
 that he had received in Christ.

00:03:20.019 --> 00:03:21.439
 He was very much aware of it.

00:03:23.959 --> 00:03:26.139
 He would often quote this verse in John 16,

00:03:26.139 --> 00:03:29.079
 These things I have spoken to you,

00:03:29.139 --> 00:03:30.000
 this is Jesus speaking,

00:03:30.079 --> 00:03:32.059
 that in me you may have peace.

00:03:32.359 --> 00:03:34.000
 In the world you have tribulation.

00:03:34.500 --> 00:03:35.359
 But take courage,

00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:36.639
 I have overcome the world.

00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:39.299
 It was a long time before

00:03:39.299 --> 00:03:41.699
 my friend's situation improved.

00:03:41.699 --> 00:03:44.659
 But as time passed,

00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:45.959
 his heart did grow stronger

00:03:45.959 --> 00:03:48.239
 as God unveiled more and more

00:03:48.239 --> 00:03:50.099
 of the glory of that salvation

00:03:50.099 --> 00:03:52.159
 that he had received.

00:03:54.019 --> 00:03:55.099
 That salvation,

00:03:55.819 --> 00:03:58.539
 that ransoming work of Christ

00:03:58.539 --> 00:04:00.359
 in which he took on flesh,

00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:03.139
 he took on all the devil's temptations,

00:04:03.299 --> 00:04:04.959
 he took on the cross,

00:04:05.019 --> 00:04:06.620
 and he took on finally death.

00:04:06.620 --> 00:04:10.379
 That work that God did,

00:04:10.460 --> 00:04:11.300
 our salvation,

00:04:11.939 --> 00:04:14.319
 was the means by which God

00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:15.860
 redeemed us for himself

00:04:15.860 --> 00:04:18.199
 and for his glory forever.

00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:21.540
 When a man or woman

00:04:21.540 --> 00:04:22.780
 gains a real interest

00:04:22.780 --> 00:04:24.680
 in the real gospel,

00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:27.319
 the real gospel,

00:04:27.459 --> 00:04:30.100
 the tangible, felt, real gospel,

00:04:30.819 --> 00:04:33.199
 with true faith and tastes

00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.240
 of those delectable truths

00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:36.319
 and experiences

00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:38.420
 that effective power

00:04:38.420 --> 00:04:40.240
 to heal a broken heart,

00:04:40.340 --> 00:04:42.660
 to soothe an inflamed conscience,

00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:45.680
 to bring rest to a wearied soul,

00:04:45.780 --> 00:04:47.120
 to cleanse the filthy sinner,

00:04:47.960 --> 00:04:49.960
 to quench the thirst of the sojourner,

00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:51.300
 to strengthen the sick,

00:04:51.400 --> 00:04:52.220
 to enrich the poor,

00:04:52.300 --> 00:04:53.680
 to find the lost,

00:04:53.780 --> 00:04:54.879
 to free the slave.

00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:57.600
 When you taste of this gospel,

00:04:58.620 --> 00:04:59.780
 there's nothing less

00:04:59.780 --> 00:05:01.460
 that you can do

00:05:01.460 --> 00:05:03.040
 but totally surrender to God

00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:04.780
 who is that gospel.

00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:06.660
 Who is that good news

00:05:06.660 --> 00:05:09.819
 in loving obedience

00:05:09.819 --> 00:05:10.500
 and worship?

00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:13.660
 Some of you are characterized

00:05:13.660 --> 00:05:14.639
 by what I just said.

00:05:15.579 --> 00:05:16.040
 Some of you,

00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:16.560
 all of you,

00:05:16.620 --> 00:05:17.180
 if you're a Christian,

00:05:19.060 --> 00:05:20.740
 are sojourners

00:05:20.740 --> 00:05:21.620
 who are thirsting,

00:05:21.740 --> 00:05:22.900
 sojourners who need food,

00:05:22.980 --> 00:05:23.759
 who need sustenance

00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:24.319
 for the journey.

00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:26.060
 Some of you are sick

00:05:26.060 --> 00:05:26.900
 because of sin.

00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.400
 Some of you are poor

00:05:30.400 --> 00:05:31.540
 because of a lack of faith.

00:05:31.540 --> 00:05:35.260
 This gospel can change you.

00:05:35.420 --> 00:05:36.080
 It can renew you.

00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:36.960
 It can restore you.

00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:38.920
 And I pray that it does that tonight.

00:05:39.540 --> 00:05:40.439
 Let me say this statement.

00:05:42.060 --> 00:05:43.720
 The freest man in the whole world

00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:45.820
 is the one who's enslaved

00:05:45.820 --> 00:05:47.340
 to the greatest master.

00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:49.939
 The freest man

00:05:49.939 --> 00:05:51.400
 is the one who's enslaved

00:05:51.400 --> 00:05:52.700
 to the greatest master.

00:05:53.420 --> 00:05:54.660
 Everyone is enslaved to someone

00:05:54.660 --> 00:05:55.439
 or something.

00:05:56.540 --> 00:05:56.939
 Everyone.

00:05:57.200 --> 00:05:58.060
 I don't care what they say.

00:05:58.760 --> 00:05:59.760
 I don't care if they're an atheist

00:05:59.760 --> 00:06:00.260
 or what.

00:06:00.880 --> 00:06:02.280
 They're enslaved to something,

00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:02.980
 to an idea,

00:06:03.939 --> 00:06:05.320
 to their flesh,

00:06:05.420 --> 00:06:06.120
 to whatever they may be

00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:06.740
 following after

00:06:06.740 --> 00:06:07.660
 and serving.

00:06:08.760 --> 00:06:09.540
 Philippians says

00:06:09.540 --> 00:06:10.280
 that your God

00:06:10.280 --> 00:06:10.879
 is your appetite.

00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:13.180
 Many people are like that.

00:06:13.180 --> 00:06:16.040
 The freest man

00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:16.840
 is the one who's enslaved

00:06:16.840 --> 00:06:17.680
 to the greatest master.

00:06:17.780 --> 00:06:18.280
 I want to tell you

00:06:18.280 --> 00:06:19.079
 about my master

00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:20.540
 and what he's done tonight.

00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:22.220
 Number one,

00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:24.139
 he redeemed me.

00:06:26.180 --> 00:06:27.160
 He redeemed me.

00:06:27.819 --> 00:06:29.019
 You cannot rightly understand

00:06:29.019 --> 00:06:30.560
 the word ransomed

00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.199
 until you have an understanding

00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:33.139
 of the word redeemed.

00:06:34.660 --> 00:06:36.040
 For Jesus is our redeemer,

00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.639
 but he is also our ransom.

00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:41.960
 He redeemed us,

00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:43.639
 but he also paid the price

00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:44.299
 with himself

00:06:44.299 --> 00:06:45.319
 for that redemption.

00:06:46.159 --> 00:06:47.039
 It's kind of a paradox,

00:06:47.299 --> 00:06:48.419
 but it's not.

00:06:49.239 --> 00:06:50.319
 Jerry Bridges said this.

00:06:50.359 --> 00:06:50.799
 Listen to this.

00:06:50.819 --> 00:06:51.560
 This is a good definition.

00:06:52.359 --> 00:06:52.899
 To redeem

00:06:52.899 --> 00:06:54.500
 is to buy back

00:06:54.500 --> 00:06:55.159
 or secure

00:06:55.159 --> 00:06:56.219
 the release of

00:06:56.219 --> 00:06:57.439
 someone from slavery

00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:58.299
 or from captivity

00:06:58.299 --> 00:06:59.799
 by the payment of a ransom.

00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:02.199
 Redemption, then,

00:07:02.259 --> 00:07:03.219
 is the action

00:07:03.219 --> 00:07:04.679
 to secure release

00:07:04.679 --> 00:07:06.039
 and the ransom

00:07:06.039 --> 00:07:07.319
 is the price paid

00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:08.620
 to effect that action.

00:07:09.620 --> 00:07:10.179
 Does that make sense?

00:07:10.180 --> 00:07:12.420
 So you've got a redemption,

00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:14.220
 which is the buying back

00:07:14.220 --> 00:07:14.740
 of something

00:07:14.740 --> 00:07:15.840
 or someone,

00:07:16.220 --> 00:07:17.040
 and then a ransom

00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:17.900
 is the price you pay

00:07:17.900 --> 00:07:18.840
 to actually do that.

00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:22.819
 Bound up in the person

00:07:22.819 --> 00:07:23.660
 of Jesus Christ

00:07:23.660 --> 00:07:24.780
 is the unique ability

00:07:24.780 --> 00:07:25.840
 to be both redeemer

00:07:25.840 --> 00:07:27.379
 and yet to pay

00:07:27.379 --> 00:07:27.920
 for the redemption

00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:28.759
 with his own body

00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:29.699
 and with his own blood.

00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:32.780
 We were enslaved

00:07:32.780 --> 00:07:33.780
 as sinners

00:07:33.780 --> 00:07:35.139
 to sin

00:07:35.139 --> 00:07:36.399
 and as humans

00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:37.079
 to Satan.

00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:38.379
 Okay?

00:07:38.539 --> 00:07:39.659
 This is a way

00:07:39.659 --> 00:07:40.139
 that I'm going to try

00:07:40.139 --> 00:07:41.339
 to describe to you

00:07:41.339 --> 00:07:41.839
 what exactly

00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:42.719
 you were enslaved to

00:07:42.719 --> 00:07:44.139
 before you were ransomed

00:07:44.139 --> 00:07:45.060
 or redeemed from Christ

00:07:45.060 --> 00:07:45.719
 if you have been.

00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:47.240
 Again, I'm going to say this.

00:07:47.339 --> 00:07:48.159
 We were enslaved

00:07:48.159 --> 00:07:48.879
 as sinners

00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:49.759
 to sin

00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:52.680
 but as humans

00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:53.799
 to Satan.

00:07:55.459 --> 00:07:56.639
 It's kind of a tricky thought

00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:57.079
 but

00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:58.419
 because it's kind of like

00:07:58.419 --> 00:07:58.879
 splitting hairs.

00:07:58.959 --> 00:07:59.740
 It's almost one and the same

00:07:59.740 --> 00:08:01.079
 but there's some differences.

00:08:02.979 --> 00:08:03.379
 Sin

00:08:03.379 --> 00:08:04.819
 Okay?

00:08:04.979 --> 00:08:05.620
 This is the difference.

00:08:05.620 --> 00:08:06.699
 Sin ruled over

00:08:06.699 --> 00:08:08.060
 our interior.

00:08:09.259 --> 00:08:10.420
 Our insides.

00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:11.819
 Our desires.

00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:12.920
 Our personality.

00:08:13.379 --> 00:08:14.439
 Was all infected

00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:15.600
 completely by sin.

00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:17.420
 Totally and completely

00:08:17.420 --> 00:08:18.379
 affected by sin.

00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:20.220
 On the other hand

00:08:20.220 --> 00:08:21.899
 Satan ruled our exterior.

00:08:23.019 --> 00:08:24.240
 Or rules your exterior.

00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:25.519
 Your flesh.

00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:26.319
 Your outer man.

00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:28.620
 By provoking you

00:08:28.620 --> 00:08:30.079
 to bad deeds.

00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:31.980
 Kind of like

00:08:31.980 --> 00:08:32.860
 poking you.

00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:33.560
 Kind of like

00:08:33.560 --> 00:08:34.340
 a doctor

00:08:34.340 --> 00:08:35.300
 who may take one of those

00:08:35.300 --> 00:08:36.580
 tomahawk looking things

00:08:36.580 --> 00:08:37.480
 and hit you in the kneecap

00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:38.120
 and make you

00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:39.200
 kick forward.

00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:40.040
 That's

00:08:40.040 --> 00:08:40.920
 kind of in a sense

00:08:40.920 --> 00:08:41.600
 what Satan does.

00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:42.580
 He pokes.

00:08:42.680 --> 00:08:43.040
 He pricks.

00:08:43.100 --> 00:08:43.960
 He doesn't exactly

00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:45.040
 possess you

00:08:45.040 --> 00:08:47.720
 especially if you're a believer

00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:48.660
 he doesn't possess you

00:08:48.660 --> 00:08:50.080
 but he provokes you.

00:08:50.740 --> 00:08:52.160
 So he works on the external

00:08:52.160 --> 00:08:53.180
 side of things.

00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:57.540
 For evidence of this

00:08:57.540 --> 00:08:57.840
 biblically

00:08:57.840 --> 00:08:58.840
 you can look at Matthew 4.

00:08:58.980 --> 00:08:59.180
 That's

00:08:59.180 --> 00:09:01.500
 when Jesus was tempted

00:09:01.500 --> 00:09:01.940
 himself.

00:09:01.940 --> 00:09:03.480
 And you see a lot of

00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:04.260
 those kind of examples.

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:07.080
 To use another analogy

00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:08.120
 envision a prison

00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:08.920
 a prison cell

00:09:08.920 --> 00:09:10.960
 and you in that prison cell.

00:09:11.920 --> 00:09:12.100
 Okay.

00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:13.080
 So you got the walls

00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:13.880
 you got the concrete

00:09:13.880 --> 00:09:14.420
 you got everything

00:09:14.420 --> 00:09:15.160
 in the prison cell.

00:09:15.400 --> 00:09:16.420
 The actual thing

00:09:16.420 --> 00:09:17.380
 that you are incarcerated

00:09:17.380 --> 00:09:18.780
 by is the cell.

00:09:20.140 --> 00:09:20.380
 Okay.

00:09:20.460 --> 00:09:20.840
 It's the

00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:21.120
 again

00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:21.700
 the walls

00:09:21.700 --> 00:09:22.520
 the iron bars

00:09:22.520 --> 00:09:24.240
 this is representative

00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:24.780
 of sin.

00:09:24.860 --> 00:09:25.580
 You are incarcerated

00:09:25.580 --> 00:09:26.340
 by sin.

00:09:27.460 --> 00:09:28.480
 You are enslaved

00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:29.080
 to sin

00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:30.220
 but at the same time

00:09:30.220 --> 00:09:30.940
 every once in a while

00:09:30.940 --> 00:09:32.000
 you are attended to

00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:33.080
 by a jail keeper.

00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:35.320
 Okay.

00:09:35.460 --> 00:09:36.680
 Who brings you food

00:09:36.680 --> 00:09:37.520
 and brings you water

00:09:37.520 --> 00:09:38.460
 and sustains you

00:09:38.460 --> 00:09:39.400
 in your poor position.

00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:40.800
 And that is representative

00:09:40.800 --> 00:09:41.320
 of Satan.

00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:43.680
 So you're incarcerated

00:09:43.680 --> 00:09:44.440
 by sin

00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:45.720
 but you're attended to

00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:46.240
 by Satan.

00:09:46.540 --> 00:09:47.220
 He keeps you

00:09:47.220 --> 00:09:48.300
 in that position.

00:09:48.460 --> 00:09:49.879
 He keeps you alive.

00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:50.639
 He keeps you doing

00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:51.040
 his bidding.

00:09:55.140 --> 00:09:55.940
 You are also

00:09:55.940 --> 00:09:56.460
 his prisoner

00:09:56.460 --> 00:09:57.480
 but he is not

00:09:57.480 --> 00:09:58.080
 your captor.

00:09:59.080 --> 00:09:59.639
 And therefore

00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:00.360
 the price

00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:01.200
 of your release

00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:02.800
 from that prison cell

00:10:02.800 --> 00:10:03.660
 or the blood

00:10:03.660 --> 00:10:04.160
 of our beloved

00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:04.980
 Jesus Christ

00:10:04.980 --> 00:10:05.940
 was not paid

00:10:05.940 --> 00:10:06.340
 to Satan.

00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:08.320
 Okay.

00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:09.259
 When you were ransomed

00:10:09.259 --> 00:10:09.780
 when God

00:10:09.780 --> 00:10:10.460
 made himself

00:10:10.460 --> 00:10:10.960
 a ransom

00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:11.680
 for you

00:10:11.680 --> 00:10:13.860
 it wasn't

00:10:13.860 --> 00:10:14.440
 to pay off

00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:14.740
 Satan

00:10:14.740 --> 00:10:15.759
 to free you.

00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:17.820
 He wasn't

00:10:17.820 --> 00:10:18.340
 your captor.

00:10:18.420 --> 00:10:18.820
 He was just

00:10:18.820 --> 00:10:19.259
 the simple

00:10:19.259 --> 00:10:19.920
 jail keeper.

00:10:20.920 --> 00:10:21.820
 But that price

00:10:21.820 --> 00:10:22.340
 was paid

00:10:22.340 --> 00:10:23.040
 to God

00:10:23.040 --> 00:10:23.520
 who could be

00:10:23.520 --> 00:10:24.100
 seen as the

00:10:24.100 --> 00:10:24.440
 warden

00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:26.360
 in this scenario.

00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:27.480
 Does that make sense?

00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:28.940
 The cell

00:10:28.940 --> 00:10:29.500
 and the jail

00:10:29.500 --> 00:10:29.760
 keeper

00:10:29.760 --> 00:10:30.320
 and the warden.

00:10:30.380 --> 00:10:30.840
 That make sense?

00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:34.720
 Now that's not to say

00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:35.780
 that God

00:10:35.780 --> 00:10:36.420
 has made you

00:10:36.420 --> 00:10:37.480
 a sinner

00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:38.020
 or that God

00:10:38.020 --> 00:10:38.700
 has enslaved you

00:10:38.700 --> 00:10:39.120
 into sin

00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:39.660
 but that he is

00:10:39.660 --> 00:10:40.080
 the ruler

00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:41.000
 he is the judge

00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:41.980
 he is the warden

00:10:41.980 --> 00:10:43.500
 over all matters

00:10:43.500 --> 00:10:44.540
 in the spiritual realm.

00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:45.640
 Okay.

00:10:45.700 --> 00:10:46.060
 And you must

00:10:46.060 --> 00:10:47.200
 directly consult

00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:47.660
 with him

00:10:47.660 --> 00:10:48.800
 if you wish

00:10:48.800 --> 00:10:49.240
 to be free.

00:10:51.400 --> 00:10:52.080
 So God

00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:52.720
 being holy

00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:53.280
 and just

00:10:53.280 --> 00:10:53.980
 cannot excuse

00:10:53.980 --> 00:10:54.379
 a single

00:10:54.379 --> 00:10:54.920
 transgression

00:10:54.920 --> 00:10:56.340
 he won't

00:10:56.340 --> 00:10:56.659
 do it.

00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:57.180
 It's against

00:10:57.180 --> 00:10:57.680
 his nature.

00:10:58.159 --> 00:10:58.539
 It's against

00:10:58.539 --> 00:10:59.440
 the idea

00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:00.240
 of being just.

00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:01.840
 All sins

00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:02.139
 have to be

00:11:02.139 --> 00:11:02.639
 accounted for.

00:11:02.700 --> 00:11:03.060
 All debts

00:11:03.060 --> 00:11:03.480
 have to be

00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:03.779
 paid.

00:11:04.620 --> 00:11:04.879
 Therefore

00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:05.240
 we learn

00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:05.840
 from Galatians

00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:06.460
 3.13

00:11:06.460 --> 00:11:07.840
 precisely what

00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:08.060
 it is

00:11:08.060 --> 00:11:08.279
 that we've

00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:08.800
 been ransomed

00:11:08.800 --> 00:11:08.800


00:11:08.800 --> 00:11:09.159
 from

00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:09.879
 or redeemed

00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:10.360
 from.

00:11:11.539 --> 00:11:12.300
 It says this.

00:11:12.340 --> 00:11:12.620
 Turn there

00:11:12.620 --> 00:11:12.899
 if you want

00:11:12.899 --> 00:11:13.000
 to.

00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:14.000
 Galatians 3.13

00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:15.820
 This is a good

00:11:15.820 --> 00:11:16.480
 passage to go

00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:16.899
 back to

00:11:16.899 --> 00:11:19.320
 as you're

00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:19.879
 envisioning

00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:20.580
 or thinking

00:11:20.580 --> 00:11:21.139
 about this.

00:11:25.940 --> 00:11:26.460
 Everything's

00:11:26.460 --> 00:11:26.740
 got to be

00:11:26.740 --> 00:11:27.200
 paid for.

00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:29.179
 Every sin.

00:11:30.620 --> 00:11:31.360
 Every infraction

00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:31.820
 of the law.

00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:34.600
 So Galatians

00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:35.100
 3.13

00:11:35.100 --> 00:11:35.799
 says this.

00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:37.139
 Christ

00:11:37.139 --> 00:11:37.899
 redeemed us

00:11:37.899 --> 00:11:39.120
 from the curse

00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:39.779
 of the law

00:11:39.779 --> 00:11:41.259
 by becoming

00:11:41.259 --> 00:11:41.639
 a curse

00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:42.259
 for us.

00:11:42.259 --> 00:11:43.939
 Christ

00:11:43.939 --> 00:11:44.580
 redeemed us

00:11:44.580 --> 00:11:45.039
 from the curse

00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:45.399
 of the law

00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:45.840
 by becoming

00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:46.259
 a curse

00:11:46.259 --> 00:11:48.580
 for us.

00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:50.539
 So what is

00:11:50.539 --> 00:11:50.840
 the curse

00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:51.240
 of the law?

00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:52.139
 Because that's

00:11:52.139 --> 00:11:52.700
 what obviously

00:11:52.700 --> 00:11:53.019
 we've been

00:11:53.019 --> 00:11:53.759
 redeemed from.

00:11:54.779 --> 00:11:55.399
 Simply put

00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:55.720
 the curse

00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:56.100
 of the law

00:11:56.100 --> 00:11:56.480
 is that

00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:57.080
 perfect

00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:58.379
 zero sin

00:11:58.379 --> 00:11:58.819
 standard

00:11:58.819 --> 00:11:59.299
 that God

00:11:59.299 --> 00:11:59.720
 has

00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:00.500
 for all

00:12:00.500 --> 00:12:00.879
 people.

00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:02.720
 Perfect

00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:03.200
 standard

00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:04.620
 that cannot

00:12:04.620 --> 00:12:05.120
 be broken.

00:12:07.019 --> 00:12:07.600
 If you

00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:07.899
 wish to

00:12:07.899 --> 00:12:08.360
 appease a

00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:08.639
 perfectly

00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:08.960
 holy

00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:09.399
 and just

00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:09.620
 God

00:12:09.620 --> 00:12:09.840
 you have

00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:10.120
 to keep

00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:10.580
 that standard

00:12:10.580 --> 00:12:11.159
 completely

00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:11.840
 without any

00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:12.340
 infraction.

00:12:14.019 --> 00:12:14.580
 And have

00:12:14.580 --> 00:12:14.879
 you fallen

00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:15.259
 short of

00:12:15.259 --> 00:12:15.540
 this?

00:12:15.700 --> 00:12:15.980
 Have I

00:12:15.980 --> 00:12:16.160
 fallen

00:12:16.160 --> 00:12:16.480
 short of

00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:16.720
 this?

00:12:17.019 --> 00:12:17.660
 A trillion

00:12:17.660 --> 00:12:18.100
 times over

00:12:18.100 --> 00:12:18.519
 you have.

00:12:19.580 --> 00:12:20.320
 Ten times

00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:20.740
 a thousand

00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:21.200
 times a

00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:21.420
 day.

00:12:24.500 --> 00:12:25.220
 We all

00:12:25.220 --> 00:12:25.500
 do.

00:12:26.220 --> 00:12:26.440
 And yet

00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:26.860
 some of us

00:12:26.860 --> 00:12:27.120
 are still

00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:27.560
 trusting in

00:12:27.560 --> 00:12:28.100
 our goodness

00:12:28.100 --> 00:12:29.500
 and in

00:12:29.500 --> 00:12:30.120
 our faithfulness

00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:30.480
 to God

00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:30.700
 and in

00:12:30.700 --> 00:12:31.019
 our good

00:12:31.019 --> 00:12:31.460
 deeds

00:12:31.460 --> 00:12:32.800
 as a

00:12:32.800 --> 00:12:33.200
 means of

00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:33.379
 entering

00:12:33.379 --> 00:12:33.820
 into heaven.

00:12:35.139 --> 00:12:35.500
 Somehow

00:12:35.500 --> 00:12:36.080
 we think

00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:36.519
 and people

00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:36.720
 have been

00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:37.000
 deceived

00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:37.460
 that maybe

00:12:37.460 --> 00:12:37.620
 you're

00:12:37.620 --> 00:12:37.860
 around

00:12:37.860 --> 00:12:38.320
 think

00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:39.500
 that by

00:12:39.500 --> 00:12:40.600
 being good

00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:40.860
 enough

00:12:40.860 --> 00:12:41.300
 or earning

00:12:41.299 --> 00:12:41.819
 God's favor

00:12:41.819 --> 00:12:42.179
 through the

00:12:42.179 --> 00:12:42.519
 things that

00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:42.719
 I do

00:12:42.719 --> 00:12:43.059
 that are

00:12:43.059 --> 00:12:43.519
 good

00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:45.719
 that God

00:12:45.719 --> 00:12:46.159
 is going

00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:46.479
 to accept

00:12:46.479 --> 00:12:46.819
 us on the

00:12:46.819 --> 00:12:47.139
 last day

00:12:47.139 --> 00:12:47.479
 of judgment.

00:12:47.579 --> 00:12:47.759
 When he

00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:48.039
 looks at

00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:48.359
 our life

00:12:48.359 --> 00:12:48.559
 and he

00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:48.839
 says

00:12:48.839 --> 00:12:49.459
 although

00:12:49.459 --> 00:12:49.740
 you've

00:12:49.740 --> 00:12:50.099
 made all

00:12:50.099 --> 00:12:50.379
 of these

00:12:50.379 --> 00:12:50.620
 sins

00:12:50.620 --> 00:12:50.979
 against me

00:12:50.979 --> 00:12:51.139
 although

00:12:51.139 --> 00:12:51.479
 you've

00:12:51.479 --> 00:12:51.779
 hated me

00:12:51.779 --> 00:12:52.000
 in this

00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:52.120
 way

00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:54.079
 yet I'm

00:12:54.079 --> 00:12:54.259
 going to

00:12:54.259 --> 00:12:54.639
 forgive you

00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:55.059
 because

00:12:55.059 --> 00:12:56.279
 you did

00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:56.620
 this.

00:12:59.219 --> 00:12:59.579
 Serial

00:12:59.579 --> 00:12:59.979
 killers have

00:12:59.979 --> 00:13:00.279
 done good

00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:00.519
 things in

00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:00.959
 their life.

00:13:03.319 --> 00:13:03.759
 We don't

00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:04.000
 let them

00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:04.219
 off the

00:13:04.219 --> 00:13:04.359
 hook

00:13:04.359 --> 00:13:04.579
 though.

00:13:06.959 --> 00:13:07.299
 You're

00:13:07.299 --> 00:13:07.639
 dead wrong

00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:07.839
 if you

00:13:07.839 --> 00:13:08.259
 think that.

00:13:08.259 --> 00:13:08.939
 God

00:13:08.939 --> 00:13:10.100
 so not

00:13:10.100 --> 00:13:10.480
 one human

00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:10.840
 being can

00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:11.159
 ever do

00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:11.799
 enough to

00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:12.220
 achieve the

00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:12.519
 righteousness

00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:12.960
 that God

00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:13.419
 requires.

00:13:14.319 --> 00:13:14.679
 If somehow

00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:14.960
 we could

00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:15.340
 combine

00:13:15.340 --> 00:13:17.000
 Mother Teresa

00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:18.379
 Gandhi

00:13:18.379 --> 00:13:19.679
 and the

00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:20.240
 Apostle Paul

00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:20.539
 into one

00:13:20.539 --> 00:13:20.919
 person

00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:21.480
 one super

00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:21.819
 human

00:13:21.819 --> 00:13:22.960
 good person

00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:23.840
 and then

00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:24.179
 give them a

00:13:24.179 --> 00:13:24.779
 thousand lives

00:13:24.779 --> 00:13:25.259
 to live

00:13:25.259 --> 00:13:25.960
 to do all

00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:26.179
 the good

00:13:26.179 --> 00:13:26.439
 deeds they

00:13:26.439 --> 00:13:26.659
 want to

00:13:26.659 --> 00:13:26.899
 do

00:13:26.899 --> 00:13:27.679
 they would

00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:28.159
 still fall

00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:28.519
 short

00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:29.500
 of that

00:13:29.500 --> 00:13:29.840
 standard.

00:13:30.460 --> 00:13:30.819
 One

00:13:30.819 --> 00:13:31.299
 thing

00:13:31.299 --> 00:13:32.299
 one

00:13:32.299 --> 00:13:32.740
 thing

00:13:32.740 --> 00:13:33.700
 made them

00:13:33.700 --> 00:13:34.100
 fall short

00:13:34.100 --> 00:13:34.299
 of that

00:13:34.299 --> 00:13:34.620
 standard

00:13:34.620 --> 00:13:35.080
 and they

00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:35.299
 would still

00:13:35.299 --> 00:13:35.500
 go to

00:13:35.500 --> 00:13:35.700
 hell.

00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:36.519
 That

00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:36.759
 super

00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:37.200
 human good

00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:37.480
 person

00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:37.700
 would go

00:13:37.700 --> 00:13:38.000
 to hell.

00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:41.240
 So it's

00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:41.800
 an impossible

00:13:41.800 --> 00:13:42.379
 thing for us

00:13:42.379 --> 00:13:42.759
 to achieve

00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:43.060
 it on our

00:13:43.060 --> 00:13:43.320
 own.

00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:44.639
 Impossible.

00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:46.519
 Jesus said

00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:46.980
 himself in

00:13:46.980 --> 00:13:47.539
 Matthew 5

00:13:47.539 --> 00:13:47.879
 48

00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:49.320
 you are to

00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:50.180
 be perfect

00:13:50.180 --> 00:13:51.460
 as your

00:13:51.460 --> 00:13:51.700
 heavenly

00:13:51.700 --> 00:13:52.180
 father is

00:13:52.180 --> 00:13:52.600
 perfect.

00:13:53.580 --> 00:13:54.100
 Paul said

00:13:54.100 --> 00:13:54.539
 in Galatians

00:13:54.539 --> 00:13:54.980
 3 just

00:13:54.980 --> 00:13:55.800
 three verses

00:13:55.800 --> 00:13:56.360
 before this

00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:56.560
 one.

00:13:58.899 --> 00:13:59.519
 All who

00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:00.039
 rely on

00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:00.700
 observing the

00:14:00.700 --> 00:14:01.420
 law are

00:14:01.420 --> 00:14:01.860
 under a

00:14:01.860 --> 00:14:02.279
 curse.

00:14:03.139 --> 00:14:03.720
 So the

00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:03.980
 people that

00:14:03.980 --> 00:14:04.240
 put their

00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:04.740
 trust in

00:14:04.740 --> 00:14:05.340
 observing the

00:14:05.340 --> 00:14:05.659
 law and

00:14:05.659 --> 00:14:05.960
 doing the

00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:06.220
 things of

00:14:06.220 --> 00:14:06.420
 law,

00:14:06.539 --> 00:14:06.820
 they're under

00:14:06.820 --> 00:14:07.440
 the curse.

00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:08.620
 For as

00:14:08.620 --> 00:14:08.840
 it is

00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:09.120
 written,

00:14:09.460 --> 00:14:10.159
 cursed is

00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:10.680
 everyone who

00:14:10.680 --> 00:14:11.039
 does not

00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:12.700
 continue to

00:14:12.700 --> 00:14:13.399
 do everything

00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:13.800
 written in

00:14:13.800 --> 00:14:14.000
 the book

00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:14.200
 of the

00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:14.379
 law.

00:14:15.980 --> 00:14:16.740
 James also

00:14:16.740 --> 00:14:17.259
 says this

00:14:17.259 --> 00:14:17.420
 in the

00:14:17.420 --> 00:14:17.820
 New Testament.

00:14:17.940 --> 00:14:18.100
 Whoever

00:14:18.100 --> 00:14:18.600
 keeps the

00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:19.240
 whole law

00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:19.840
 and yet

00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:20.279
 stumbles at

00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:21.060
 one point

00:14:21.060 --> 00:14:22.360
 has become

00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:22.820
 guilty of

00:14:22.820 --> 00:14:23.019
 all.

00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:25.820
 So you

00:14:25.820 --> 00:14:26.720
 can't trust

00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:26.980
 in that.

00:14:27.019 --> 00:14:27.259
 I talked

00:14:27.259 --> 00:14:27.820
 to a guy

00:14:27.820 --> 00:14:28.080
 today,

00:14:28.139 --> 00:14:28.340
 I just

00:14:28.340 --> 00:14:28.680
 met him

00:14:28.680 --> 00:14:29.320
 sitting on

00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:29.600
 a bench

00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:29.879
 near the

00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:30.320
 drill field

00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:32.980
 and I

00:14:32.980 --> 00:14:33.120
 said,

00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:33.440
 hey man,

00:14:33.500 --> 00:14:33.680
 how did you

00:14:33.680 --> 00:14:34.159
 become a

00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:34.440
 Christian?

00:14:34.740 --> 00:14:35.019
 Or when

00:14:35.019 --> 00:14:35.139
 did you

00:14:35.139 --> 00:14:35.399
 become a

00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:35.580
 Christian?

00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:35.879
 He said,

00:14:35.899 --> 00:14:35.980
 I've

00:14:35.980 --> 00:14:36.420
 always been a

00:14:36.420 --> 00:14:36.580
 Christian.

00:14:36.580 --> 00:14:36.800
 I grew

00:14:36.800 --> 00:14:37.000
 up in a

00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:37.180
 Christian

00:14:37.180 --> 00:14:37.379
 home.

00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:39.540
 And I

00:14:39.540 --> 00:14:39.700
 just,

00:14:39.820 --> 00:14:39.940
 you know,

00:14:40.220 --> 00:14:41.400
 it was

00:14:41.400 --> 00:14:41.700
 baffled.

00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:41.879
 I mean,

00:14:41.920 --> 00:14:42.080
 again,

00:14:42.180 --> 00:14:42.820
 so many

00:14:42.820 --> 00:14:43.080
 people are

00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:43.300
 like that.

00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:43.500
 They don't

00:14:43.500 --> 00:14:44.800
 understand that

00:14:44.800 --> 00:14:45.160
 you aren't a

00:14:45.160 --> 00:14:45.620
 Christian because

00:14:45.620 --> 00:14:46.139
 you grew up in a

00:14:46.139 --> 00:14:46.680
 Christian home.

00:14:47.220 --> 00:14:47.680
 You're a

00:14:47.680 --> 00:14:48.139
 Christian because

00:14:48.139 --> 00:14:49.240
 you submit to

00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:49.820
 the lordship of

00:14:49.820 --> 00:14:50.220
 Christ.

00:14:50.220 --> 00:14:50.300
 Christ.

00:14:51.740 --> 00:14:52.220
 Because you

00:14:52.220 --> 00:14:52.920
 love Jesus.

00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:54.080
 Because you

00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:54.660
 hate sin.

00:14:55.040 --> 00:14:55.420
 Because his

00:14:55.420 --> 00:14:56.019
 spirit's inside

00:14:56.019 --> 00:14:56.340
 of you.

00:14:58.180 --> 00:14:58.800
 You're not a

00:14:58.800 --> 00:14:59.220
 Christian because

00:14:59.220 --> 00:14:59.740
 you grew up in

00:14:59.740 --> 00:14:59.800
 it.

00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:00.200
 Because you

00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:01.139
 were indoctrinated

00:15:01.139 --> 00:15:01.480
 with it.

00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:02.000
 Because you

00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:03.080
 have been

00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:03.600
 baptized.

00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:05.220
 None of

00:15:05.220 --> 00:15:05.620
 those things

00:15:05.620 --> 00:15:05.960
 save.

00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:08.879
 Our

00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:09.240
 redemption

00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:09.720
 then,

00:15:10.620 --> 00:15:11.180
 so this

00:15:11.180 --> 00:15:11.620
 truth that

00:15:11.620 --> 00:15:12.019
 we're speaking

00:15:12.019 --> 00:15:12.440
 of right

00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:12.700
 now,

00:15:12.779 --> 00:15:13.340
 this redemption

00:15:13.340 --> 00:15:13.960
 truth,

00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:16.000
 is the

00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:16.800
 rock upon

00:15:16.800 --> 00:15:17.200
 which we

00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:18.540
 stand as

00:15:18.540 --> 00:15:19.000
 Christians.

00:15:19.780 --> 00:15:20.560
 It is the

00:15:20.560 --> 00:15:21.060
 deed that we

00:15:21.060 --> 00:15:21.740
 hold when we

00:15:21.740 --> 00:15:22.620
 die and we

00:15:22.620 --> 00:15:23.100
 go to heaven

00:15:23.100 --> 00:15:23.840
 and we say,

00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:24.500
 look here,

00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:24.940
 angels,

00:15:25.139 --> 00:15:25.740
 this is my

00:15:25.740 --> 00:15:26.259
 deed to the

00:15:26.259 --> 00:15:26.800
 property that I

00:15:26.800 --> 00:15:27.259
 have in heaven.

00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:29.080
 This is my

00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:29.720
 right to it.

00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:31.639
 I have

00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:32.160
 ownership of

00:15:32.160 --> 00:15:32.660
 property in

00:15:32.660 --> 00:15:32.820
 heaven.

00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:35.139
 Redemption is

00:15:35.139 --> 00:15:35.620
 that deed.

00:15:38.060 --> 00:15:38.620
 It's an

00:15:38.620 --> 00:15:39.360
 engagement ring

00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:40.120
 we wear to

00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:40.680
 signify our

00:15:40.680 --> 00:15:41.060
 union with

00:15:41.060 --> 00:15:41.440
 Christ.

00:15:41.900 --> 00:15:42.280
 It's the

00:15:42.280 --> 00:15:42.780
 wedding clothes

00:15:42.780 --> 00:15:43.200
 we dress

00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:43.800
 ourselves with

00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:44.379
 for acceptance

00:15:44.379 --> 00:15:44.759
 into the

00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:45.379
 wedding feast.

00:15:47.059 --> 00:15:47.559
 There is

00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:47.819
 not a

00:15:47.819 --> 00:15:48.279
 greater truth

00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:48.719
 in the

00:15:48.719 --> 00:15:49.039
 world than

00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:49.359
 this.

00:15:51.959 --> 00:15:52.459
 How are

00:15:52.459 --> 00:15:52.579
 you

00:15:52.579 --> 00:15:52.939
 redeemed?

00:15:54.219 --> 00:15:54.819
 Go back

00:15:54.819 --> 00:15:55.039
 to your

00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:55.339
 verse.

00:15:56.139 --> 00:15:56.479
 Galatians

00:15:56.479 --> 00:15:57.019
 3.13

00:15:57.019 --> 00:15:57.459
 It says,

00:15:57.799 --> 00:15:57.819
 Christ

00:15:57.819 --> 00:15:58.339
 redeemed us

00:15:58.339 --> 00:15:58.620
 from the

00:15:58.620 --> 00:15:58.979
 curse of

00:15:58.979 --> 00:15:59.359
 the law.

00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:00.599
 How?

00:16:00.699 --> 00:16:01.339
 By becoming

00:16:01.339 --> 00:16:02.000
 a curse

00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:03.099
 for us.

00:16:04.699 --> 00:16:05.299
 This is the

00:16:05.299 --> 00:16:05.699
 whole essence

00:16:05.699 --> 00:16:06.199
 of redemption

00:16:06.199 --> 00:16:07.000
 and the

00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:07.399
 whole essence

00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:07.740
 of being

00:16:07.740 --> 00:16:08.219
 ransomed.

00:16:08.859 --> 00:16:09.240
 Christ

00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:10.120
 became a

00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:11.079
 curse for

00:16:11.079 --> 00:16:11.399
 you in

00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:12.179
 your place.

00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:17.399
 He was

00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:17.859
 treated as

00:16:17.859 --> 00:16:18.339
 if the

00:16:18.339 --> 00:16:18.620
 curse

00:16:18.620 --> 00:16:19.199
 applied to

00:16:19.199 --> 00:16:20.899
 Him so

00:16:20.899 --> 00:16:21.240
 that the

00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:21.719
 curse might

00:16:21.719 --> 00:16:22.139
 not any

00:16:22.139 --> 00:16:22.799
 longer apply

00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:23.199
 to you.

00:16:26.959 --> 00:16:27.599
 He died

00:16:27.599 --> 00:16:27.839
 in your

00:16:27.839 --> 00:16:28.279
 place.

00:16:29.599 --> 00:16:29.719
 That

00:16:29.719 --> 00:16:30.279
 scripture that

00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:30.819
 Melissa read

00:16:30.819 --> 00:16:31.399
 earlier just a

00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:31.740
 second ago,

00:16:31.819 --> 00:16:32.559
 turn to 2 Corinthians

00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:32.939
 again.

00:16:34.219 --> 00:16:34.779
 Read this

00:16:34.779 --> 00:16:35.359
 slowly.

00:16:35.599 --> 00:16:36.120
 Read this

00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:37.019
 in faith.

00:16:37.019 --> 00:16:43.559
 God made

00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:43.899
 Him,

00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:44.399
 who's that?

00:16:44.500 --> 00:16:44.779
 Jesus,

00:16:45.500 --> 00:16:47.539
 who knew

00:16:47.539 --> 00:16:48.059
 no sin,

00:16:49.019 --> 00:16:49.759
 to be

00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:50.819
 sin on

00:16:50.819 --> 00:16:51.399
 our behalf

00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:53.319
 that we

00:16:53.319 --> 00:16:54.059
 might become

00:16:54.059 --> 00:16:54.679
 the righteousness

00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:56.039
 of God

00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:57.019
 in Him.

00:16:59.299 --> 00:17:00.419
 He made

00:17:00.419 --> 00:17:01.360
 Jesus Christ

00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:02.500
 incarnate

00:17:02.500 --> 00:17:04.019
 to become

00:17:04.019 --> 00:17:04.619
 sin for

00:17:04.619 --> 00:17:04.819
 you.

00:17:04.819 --> 00:17:08.599
 think about

00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:09.039
 that.

00:17:09.619 --> 00:17:10.379
 To become

00:17:10.379 --> 00:17:10.939
 sin for

00:17:10.939 --> 00:17:11.200
 you.

00:17:12.579 --> 00:17:13.339
 To become

00:17:13.339 --> 00:17:13.819
 sin for

00:17:13.819 --> 00:17:13.919
 you.

00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:14.439
 To take

00:17:14.439 --> 00:17:15.200
 your sin

00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:16.099
 on Himself.

00:17:19.220 --> 00:17:19.759
 And I'm

00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:20.259
 the same way

00:17:20.259 --> 00:17:20.740
 as you are

00:17:20.740 --> 00:17:21.139
 right now

00:17:21.139 --> 00:17:21.460
 looking at

00:17:21.460 --> 00:17:21.819
 me with

00:17:21.819 --> 00:17:22.379
 no tears

00:17:22.379 --> 00:17:22.619
 in your

00:17:22.619 --> 00:17:23.039
 eyes.

00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:25.079
 And no

00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:25.579
 fear.

00:17:26.399 --> 00:17:27.000
 And no

00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:27.439
 love.

00:17:29.259 --> 00:17:30.000
 We're so

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:30.779
 weakened to

00:17:30.779 --> 00:17:30.859
 it.

00:17:30.879 --> 00:17:31.159
 We're so

00:17:31.159 --> 00:17:31.740
 dead to

00:17:31.740 --> 00:17:31.859
 it.

00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:32.179
 We've

00:17:32.179 --> 00:17:32.339
 heard it

00:17:32.339 --> 00:17:32.679
 so many

00:17:32.679 --> 00:17:33.119
 times.

00:17:33.419 --> 00:17:33.599
 And we

00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:33.740
 don't

00:17:33.740 --> 00:17:34.619
 think about

00:17:34.619 --> 00:17:34.679
 it.

00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:34.840
 We don't

00:17:34.840 --> 00:17:35.100
 meditate

00:17:35.100 --> 00:17:35.320
 on it.

00:17:35.320 --> 00:17:35.519
 We don't

00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:35.880
 read the

00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:36.140
 scriptures

00:17:36.140 --> 00:17:37.039
 to gain

00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:37.380
 more of

00:17:37.380 --> 00:17:37.440
 it,

00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:37.640
 to get

00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:38.060
 a grasp

00:17:38.060 --> 00:17:38.440
 of it.

00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:40.519
 We should

00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:40.940
 all be

00:17:40.940 --> 00:17:41.460
 crying right

00:17:41.460 --> 00:17:41.779
 now.

00:17:42.180 --> 00:17:43.060
 With joy

00:17:43.060 --> 00:17:44.080
 for thankfulness

00:17:44.080 --> 00:17:44.680
 for what

00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:45.100
 Christ has

00:17:45.100 --> 00:17:45.400
 done.

00:17:46.740 --> 00:17:47.320
 But we

00:17:47.320 --> 00:17:47.820
 sit here

00:17:47.820 --> 00:17:48.140
 and we're

00:17:48.140 --> 00:17:48.500
 just

00:17:48.500 --> 00:17:50.759
 same story,

00:17:50.900 --> 00:17:51.480
 same story,

00:17:51.620 --> 00:17:52.259
 same thing.

00:17:53.019 --> 00:17:53.299
 Give me

00:17:53.299 --> 00:17:53.799
 something new.

00:17:56.940 --> 00:17:57.400
 Guys,

00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:57.880
 we have to

00:17:57.880 --> 00:17:58.779
 pray to

00:17:58.779 --> 00:17:59.160
 Christ.

00:17:59.240 --> 00:17:59.620
 We have to

00:17:59.620 --> 00:18:00.160
 pray to

00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:01.220
 Christ to

00:18:01.220 --> 00:18:01.779
 get this.

00:18:02.940 --> 00:18:03.500
 When you

00:18:03.500 --> 00:18:04.100
 start seeing

00:18:04.100 --> 00:18:04.279
 Him,

00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:04.500
 when you

00:18:04.500 --> 00:18:05.359
 start drawing

00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:05.660
 near to

00:18:05.660 --> 00:18:05.960
 Him in

00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:06.279
 prayer,

00:18:07.399 --> 00:18:07.700
 when you

00:18:07.700 --> 00:18:08.279
 start looking

00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:08.579
 at His

00:18:08.579 --> 00:18:09.539
 Word and

00:18:09.539 --> 00:18:10.119
 reading it

00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:10.940
 and cherishing

00:18:10.940 --> 00:18:11.740
 it as your

00:18:11.740 --> 00:18:12.299
 food for

00:18:12.299 --> 00:18:12.799
 your day,

00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:16.579
 I promise

00:18:16.579 --> 00:18:16.839
 you,

00:18:17.539 --> 00:18:17.960
 this will

00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:18.539
 become real

00:18:18.539 --> 00:18:20.079
 and felt.

00:18:20.779 --> 00:18:21.460
 And it won't

00:18:21.460 --> 00:18:21.960
 feel like a

00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:22.420
 dead faith

00:18:22.420 --> 00:18:22.779
 anymore.

00:18:22.879 --> 00:18:23.119
 It won't

00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:23.539
 feel like

00:18:23.539 --> 00:18:24.299
 dead works

00:18:24.299 --> 00:18:24.680
 anymore.

00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:26.759
 And the

00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:27.180
 songs you

00:18:27.180 --> 00:18:27.599
 sing will

00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:28.279
 feel enlivened

00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:30.980
 and real.

00:18:30.980 --> 00:18:31.039
 will.

00:18:33.420 --> 00:18:34.039
 This is

00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:34.539
 convicting.

00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:35.220
 It should

00:18:35.220 --> 00:18:35.440
 be.

00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:39.960
 That

00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:40.579
 holy God

00:18:40.579 --> 00:18:41.039
 who sits

00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:41.559
 above,

00:18:42.140 --> 00:18:42.700
 whose name

00:18:42.700 --> 00:18:43.019
 we should

00:18:43.019 --> 00:18:43.519
 never even

00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:44.019
 be able to

00:18:44.019 --> 00:18:44.380
 say,

00:18:45.660 --> 00:18:46.759
 because we're

00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:47.059
 sinners,

00:18:48.059 --> 00:18:49.019
 has seen

00:18:49.019 --> 00:18:49.940
 fit to send

00:18:49.940 --> 00:18:50.400
 His only

00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:50.960
 begotten

00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:51.900
 Son to

00:18:51.900 --> 00:18:52.259
 earth,

00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:53.920
 to become

00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:54.380
 like us

00:18:54.380 --> 00:18:54.880
 in all

00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:55.599
 things,

00:18:56.019 --> 00:18:56.920
 to die a

00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:57.140
 wretched

00:18:57.140 --> 00:18:57.860
 and a

00:18:57.860 --> 00:18:58.180
 horrible

00:18:58.180 --> 00:18:58.799
 and a

00:18:58.799 --> 00:18:59.160
 nasty

00:18:59.160 --> 00:18:59.539
 death,

00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:01.779
 to experience

00:19:01.779 --> 00:19:02.700
 that indescribable

00:19:02.700 --> 00:19:03.259
 thing that we

00:19:03.259 --> 00:19:04.180
 call separation

00:19:04.180 --> 00:19:04.700
 from the

00:19:04.700 --> 00:19:05.019
 Father.

00:19:06.180 --> 00:19:06.620
 We don't

00:19:06.620 --> 00:19:06.820
 know what

00:19:06.820 --> 00:19:07.220
 that is.

00:19:08.120 --> 00:19:08.640
 We can't

00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:09.279
 fathom that.

00:19:11.080 --> 00:19:11.840
 He experienced

00:19:11.840 --> 00:19:12.700
 that in our

00:19:12.700 --> 00:19:13.039
 stead,

00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:14.740
 so that,

00:19:15.500 --> 00:19:17.080
 so that,

00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:18.480
 we might

00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:18.980
 become the

00:19:18.980 --> 00:19:19.400
 righteousness

00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:20.799
 of God

00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:21.640
 in Him,

00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:22.500
 so that you

00:19:22.500 --> 00:19:22.920
 could be

00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:23.600
 seen as

00:19:23.600 --> 00:19:24.660
 holy on

00:19:24.660 --> 00:19:25.200
 the day

00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.160
 of judgment.

00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:26.500
 When you

00:19:26.500 --> 00:19:27.180
 come before

00:19:27.180 --> 00:19:27.740
 God,

00:19:28.180 --> 00:19:30.380
 He looks

00:19:30.380 --> 00:19:30.840
 at you,

00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:32.000
 He won't

00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:32.680
 see you,

00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:34.299
 He won't

00:19:34.299 --> 00:19:34.740
 see your

00:19:34.740 --> 00:19:35.500
 deadness to

00:19:35.500 --> 00:19:35.640
 His

00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:36.019
 redemption.

00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:39.360
 He will

00:19:39.360 --> 00:19:40.019
 see Christ

00:19:40.019 --> 00:19:41.400
 in that

00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:41.820
 union

00:19:41.820 --> 00:19:43.120
 that He

00:19:43.120 --> 00:19:43.480
 has

00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:44.500
 with the

00:19:44.500 --> 00:19:44.820
 Father.

00:19:45.820 --> 00:19:46.240
 It's called

00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:46.799
 imputation.

00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:48.100
 That's the

00:19:48.100 --> 00:19:48.759
 name for it.

00:19:49.500 --> 00:19:49.860
 And that

00:19:49.860 --> 00:19:50.200
 means that

00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:50.620
 we get

00:19:50.620 --> 00:19:51.140
 Christ,

00:19:51.380 --> 00:19:51.600
 and all

00:19:51.600 --> 00:19:51.860
 that that

00:19:51.860 --> 00:19:52.140
 means,

00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:52.460
 all that

00:19:52.460 --> 00:19:53.120
 Christ is,

00:19:53.180 --> 00:19:53.560
 all of

00:19:53.560 --> 00:19:53.840
 Him,

00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:55.299
 and our

00:19:55.299 --> 00:19:55.640
 beloved

00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:56.480
 Savior gets

00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:56.900
 us.

00:19:58.180 --> 00:19:59.180
 all our

00:19:59.180 --> 00:19:59.460
 sin,

00:19:59.560 --> 00:19:59.940
 all our

00:19:59.940 --> 00:20:00.200
 shame,

00:20:00.299 --> 00:20:00.640
 all our

00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:00.820
 guilt,

00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:01.279
 all our

00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:01.620
 pain,

00:20:01.740 --> 00:20:02.100
 misery,

00:20:02.299 --> 00:20:02.700
 punishment,

00:20:03.080 --> 00:20:03.539
 He got

00:20:03.539 --> 00:20:03.920
 all of

00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:04.060
 it.

00:20:05.080 --> 00:20:05.360
 Why,

00:20:05.420 --> 00:20:05.740
 you say?

00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:06.200
 Why?

00:20:06.340 --> 00:20:06.700
 Why did

00:20:06.700 --> 00:20:07.140
 Jesus get

00:20:07.140 --> 00:20:07.279
 this?

00:20:07.340 --> 00:20:07.560
 Why did

00:20:07.560 --> 00:20:08.200
 He want

00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:08.560
 this?

00:20:10.560 --> 00:20:11.140
 I guess

00:20:11.140 --> 00:20:11.700
 the answer

00:20:11.700 --> 00:20:11.920
 to that

00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:12.460
 question is

00:20:12.460 --> 00:20:12.900
 love,

00:20:13.580 --> 00:20:14.160
 which is

00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:14.600
 simply a

00:20:14.600 --> 00:20:15.160
 word that

00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:15.360
 doesn't

00:20:15.360 --> 00:20:15.840
 describe it

00:20:15.840 --> 00:20:16.200
 accurately.

00:20:17.060 --> 00:20:17.519
 That's the

00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:17.799
 best our

00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:18.299
 English language

00:20:18.299 --> 00:20:18.759
 can do.

00:20:19.779 --> 00:20:20.320
 God did

00:20:20.320 --> 00:20:20.640
 this because

00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:21.019
 He loves

00:20:21.019 --> 00:20:21.320
 us,

00:20:21.860 --> 00:20:22.519
 because He

00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:23.019
 cares for

00:20:23.019 --> 00:20:23.340
 us,

00:20:23.779 --> 00:20:24.279
 because it

00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:24.560
 gives Him

00:20:24.560 --> 00:20:25.080
 more glory to

00:20:25.080 --> 00:20:25.500
 do so,

00:20:25.600 --> 00:20:25.900
 and that's the

00:20:25.900 --> 00:20:26.259
 most loving

00:20:26.259 --> 00:20:26.660
 thing that He

00:20:26.660 --> 00:20:27.060
 can do.

00:20:27.059 --> 00:20:29.639
 He loves

00:20:29.639 --> 00:20:29.980
 us so

00:20:29.980 --> 00:20:30.319
 much,

00:20:31.159 --> 00:20:31.879
 and if He

00:20:31.879 --> 00:20:32.159
 loves us

00:20:32.159 --> 00:20:32.539
 that much,

00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:32.819
 He must

00:20:32.819 --> 00:20:33.279
 hate sin

00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:33.839
 that much.

00:20:36.059 --> 00:20:37.759
 I was

00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:37.980
 reading

00:20:37.980 --> 00:20:38.220
 something

00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:38.659
 today,

00:20:39.539 --> 00:20:42.059
 out of a

00:20:42.059 --> 00:20:46.240
 book about

00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:46.679
 the voice of

00:20:46.679 --> 00:20:47.220
 the martyrs.

00:20:47.220 --> 00:20:49.039
 this guy

00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:49.500
 named Richard

00:20:49.500 --> 00:20:50.140
 Wurmbron

00:20:50.140 --> 00:20:50.579
 back,

00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:52.039
 I don't

00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:52.240
 know what

00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:52.500
 it was

00:20:52.500 --> 00:20:52.880
 exactly,

00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:53.160
 but it

00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:54.120
 was back

00:20:54.120 --> 00:20:54.500
 during the

00:20:54.500 --> 00:20:54.900
 communist

00:20:54.900 --> 00:20:55.960
 regime that

00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:56.240
 was going

00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:56.759
 on in

00:20:56.759 --> 00:20:58.000
 Russia and

00:20:58.000 --> 00:20:58.660
 Romania and

00:20:58.660 --> 00:20:58.940
 all that

00:20:58.940 --> 00:20:59.140
 stuff.

00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:00.579
 The wall

00:21:00.579 --> 00:21:01.000
 hadn't fallen

00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:01.440
 down yet,

00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:01.940
 so he was

00:21:01.940 --> 00:21:02.759
 a missionary

00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:03.519
 kind of

00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:04.120
 underground in

00:21:04.120 --> 00:21:04.460
 Romania,

00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:04.799
 and he

00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:05.440
 suffered a

00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:05.759
 lot of

00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:06.120
 incredibly

00:21:06.120 --> 00:21:06.380
 horrible

00:21:06.380 --> 00:21:06.740
 things.

00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:08.339
 Then he

00:21:08.339 --> 00:21:08.600
 started,

00:21:08.660 --> 00:21:08.819
 when he

00:21:08.819 --> 00:21:09.059
 got out

00:21:09.059 --> 00:21:09.180
 of it,

00:21:09.180 --> 00:21:09.420
 he didn't

00:21:09.420 --> 00:21:09.600
 die,

00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:09.940
 he started

00:21:09.940 --> 00:21:11.180
 this thing

00:21:11.180 --> 00:21:11.360
 called

00:21:11.360 --> 00:21:11.759
 Voice of the

00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:12.259
 Martyrs,

00:21:13.259 --> 00:21:14.039
 and it's a

00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:14.559
 newsletter now

00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:15.039
 that they send

00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:15.299
 out,

00:21:15.380 --> 00:21:15.920
 and it's a

00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:16.259
 ministry.

00:21:17.140 --> 00:21:17.380
 Clay

00:21:17.380 --> 00:21:18.060
 subscribes to

00:21:18.060 --> 00:21:18.160
 him,

00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:18.320
 and he

00:21:18.320 --> 00:21:18.580
 gets all

00:21:18.580 --> 00:21:18.759
 these

00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:19.420
 magazines,

00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:19.840
 and these

00:21:19.840 --> 00:21:20.360
 updates,

00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:20.720
 and things,

00:21:20.779 --> 00:21:20.980
 and I was

00:21:20.980 --> 00:21:21.320
 reading through

00:21:21.320 --> 00:21:21.759
 this update

00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:22.080
 today.

00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:25.740
 I don't

00:21:25.740 --> 00:21:26.200
 exactly know

00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:26.500
 when this

00:21:26.500 --> 00:21:26.840
 happened,

00:21:27.019 --> 00:21:28.340
 but this

00:21:28.340 --> 00:21:28.740
 is a true

00:21:28.740 --> 00:21:32.240
 story about

00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:32.539
 a true

00:21:32.539 --> 00:21:33.300
 person and

00:21:33.300 --> 00:21:34.019
 his wife,

00:21:34.660 --> 00:21:35.019
 and what

00:21:35.019 --> 00:21:35.420
 they went

00:21:35.420 --> 00:21:35.680
 through,

00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:36.900
 and the

00:21:36.900 --> 00:21:37.200
 love that

00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:37.460
 they had

00:21:37.460 --> 00:21:38.019
 for Christ.

00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:41.080
 So,

00:21:41.259 --> 00:21:43.340
 somewhere near

00:21:43.340 --> 00:21:43.700
 the Roman

00:21:43.700 --> 00:21:44.039
 area,

00:21:44.100 --> 00:21:44.320
 I'm not

00:21:44.320 --> 00:21:44.920
 exactly sure,

00:21:45.080 --> 00:21:45.480
 it probably

00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:45.880
 was back

00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:46.560
 a while

00:21:46.560 --> 00:21:47.200
 back,

00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:47.440
 I'm not

00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:47.600
 sure,

00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:49.560
 but he

00:21:49.560 --> 00:21:50.480
 was arrested

00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:51.020
 for passing

00:21:51.020 --> 00:21:51.660
 out leaflets,

00:21:51.900 --> 00:21:52.440
 like gospel

00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:53.140
 tracts,

00:21:53.220 --> 00:21:53.580
 basically,

00:21:54.120 --> 00:21:55.100
 and they

00:21:55.100 --> 00:21:55.640
 were torturing

00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:55.920
 him,

00:21:56.100 --> 00:21:56.360
 and his

00:21:56.360 --> 00:21:56.680
 wife was

00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:56.940
 arrested

00:21:56.940 --> 00:21:57.260
 with him.

00:21:57.300 --> 00:21:57.500
 They were

00:21:57.500 --> 00:21:58.180
 torturing him

00:21:58.180 --> 00:21:58.960
 trying to

00:21:58.960 --> 00:21:59.340
 find out

00:21:59.340 --> 00:22:01.440
 where the

00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:01.940
 Bibles that

00:22:01.940 --> 00:22:02.240
 they had

00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:02.460
 were,

00:22:02.520 --> 00:22:02.740
 because they

00:22:02.740 --> 00:22:03.020
 knew they

00:22:03.020 --> 00:22:03.440
 had Bibles,

00:22:03.520 --> 00:22:03.740
 they knew they

00:22:03.740 --> 00:22:04.180
 had more

00:22:04.180 --> 00:22:06.020
 Christian

00:22:06.020 --> 00:22:06.600
 propaganda,

00:22:06.860 --> 00:22:07.020
 and they

00:22:07.020 --> 00:22:07.220
 were going

00:22:07.220 --> 00:22:08.040
 to try to

00:22:08.040 --> 00:22:08.560
 extinguish

00:22:08.560 --> 00:22:08.920
 that from

00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:09.220
 their land.

00:22:09.280 --> 00:22:09.700
 They hated

00:22:09.700 --> 00:22:10.220
 Christianity,

00:22:10.320 --> 00:22:10.640
 they hated

00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:11.020
 Christ.

00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:12.180
 So,

00:22:12.280 --> 00:22:12.580
 in order to

00:22:12.580 --> 00:22:12.940
 torture him,

00:22:12.980 --> 00:22:13.340
 they put out

00:22:13.339 --> 00:22:13.740
 his eyes

00:22:13.740 --> 00:22:14.859
 with coals,

00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:16.220
 hot coals.

00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:18.159
 Then,

00:22:18.399 --> 00:22:18.879
 they hung

00:22:18.879 --> 00:22:19.220
 him upside

00:22:19.220 --> 00:22:19.679
 down,

00:22:20.819 --> 00:22:21.659
 and tied a

00:22:21.659 --> 00:22:22.019
 chain around

00:22:22.019 --> 00:22:22.379
 his neck,

00:22:22.419 --> 00:22:22.720
 and a big

00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:23.119
 boulder to

00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:23.519
 that chain,

00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:23.720
 and he

00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:23.980
 just was

00:22:23.980 --> 00:22:24.359
 pulling on

00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:24.959
 his spinal

00:22:24.959 --> 00:22:25.220
 cord,

00:22:25.299 --> 00:22:25.619
 basically.

00:22:26.579 --> 00:22:26.939
 And they

00:22:26.939 --> 00:22:27.359
 gagged him,

00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:28.500
 and his

00:22:28.500 --> 00:22:28.839
 wife was

00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:29.419
 screaming at

00:22:29.419 --> 00:22:29.599
 him,

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:30.779
 stop it,

00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:31.819
 stop it,

00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:32.139
 just tell

00:22:32.139 --> 00:22:32.339
 them where

00:22:32.339 --> 00:22:32.579
 it is,

00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:32.859
 just tell

00:22:32.859 --> 00:22:33.059
 them where

00:22:33.059 --> 00:22:33.359
 it is,

00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:34.000
 tell them

00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:34.259
 where the

00:22:34.259 --> 00:22:34.679
 Bibles are,

00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:35.059
 please,

00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:35.719
 I can't

00:22:35.719 --> 00:22:35.979
 deal with

00:22:35.979 --> 00:22:36.839
 this anymore,

00:22:37.059 --> 00:22:37.519
 I can't

00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:37.779
 take it

00:22:37.779 --> 00:22:38.099
 anymore.

00:22:39.919 --> 00:22:40.319
 They

00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:40.679
 finally

00:22:40.679 --> 00:22:41.219
 un-gagged

00:22:41.219 --> 00:22:41.359
 him.

00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:43.319
 He looks

00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:43.559
 at his

00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:43.919
 wife and

00:22:43.919 --> 00:22:44.199
 he says,

00:22:44.299 --> 00:22:44.500
 woman,

00:22:45.959 --> 00:22:47.179
 don't

00:22:47.179 --> 00:22:47.859
 ever

00:22:47.859 --> 00:22:50.979
 trade

00:22:50.979 --> 00:22:52.079
 your

00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:52.579
 love

00:22:52.579 --> 00:22:53.699
 for your

00:22:53.699 --> 00:22:54.099
 Savior,

00:22:54.959 --> 00:22:55.359
 for your

00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:55.699
 love

00:22:55.699 --> 00:22:56.519
 for me.

00:22:57.359 --> 00:22:58.199
 don't

00:22:58.199 --> 00:22:58.579
 ever

00:22:58.579 --> 00:22:59.339
 trade

00:22:59.339 --> 00:22:59.759
 that

00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:00.099
 love.

00:23:02.639 --> 00:23:02.879
 He

00:23:02.879 --> 00:23:03.059
 didn't

00:23:03.059 --> 00:23:03.259
 tell

00:23:03.259 --> 00:23:03.399
 them.

00:23:03.659 --> 00:23:03.819
 It

00:23:03.819 --> 00:23:04.159
 strengthened

00:23:04.159 --> 00:23:04.459
 her.

00:23:04.779 --> 00:23:04.879
 They

00:23:04.879 --> 00:23:05.059
 took

00:23:05.059 --> 00:23:05.139
 her

00:23:05.139 --> 00:23:05.339
 in the

00:23:05.339 --> 00:23:05.559
 back

00:23:05.559 --> 00:23:05.839
 room

00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:06.019
 to

00:23:06.019 --> 00:23:06.479
 show

00:23:06.479 --> 00:23:06.619
 her

00:23:06.619 --> 00:23:06.740
 a

00:23:06.740 --> 00:23:06.959
 lesson.

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:07.119
 They

00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:07.439
 tortured

00:23:07.439 --> 00:23:07.719
 her

00:23:07.719 --> 00:23:08.159
 for

00:23:08.159 --> 00:23:08.599
 hours

00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:09.099
 on end.

00:23:09.459 --> 00:23:09.759
 Finally,

00:23:09.859 --> 00:23:09.979
 they

00:23:09.979 --> 00:23:10.439
 crucified

00:23:10.439 --> 00:23:10.740
 them

00:23:10.740 --> 00:23:11.019
 both

00:23:11.019 --> 00:23:11.759
 together.

00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:14.339
 They

00:23:14.339 --> 00:23:14.539
 never

00:23:14.539 --> 00:23:14.939
 relinquished

00:23:14.939 --> 00:23:15.139
 that

00:23:15.139 --> 00:23:15.859
 news

00:23:15.859 --> 00:23:17.019
 of where

00:23:17.019 --> 00:23:17.119
 the

00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:17.339
 Bibles

00:23:17.339 --> 00:23:17.579
 were.

00:23:20.519 --> 00:23:21.079
 That's

00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:21.479
 faith.

00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:23.159
 That's

00:23:23.159 --> 00:23:23.779
 real

00:23:23.779 --> 00:23:24.559
 faith.

00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:27.919
 that's

00:23:27.919 --> 00:23:28.039
 when

00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:28.439
 somebody

00:23:28.439 --> 00:23:29.119
 gets

00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:29.359
 this

00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:29.740
 stuff

00:23:29.740 --> 00:23:30.219
 in

00:23:30.219 --> 00:23:30.399
 their

00:23:30.399 --> 00:23:30.799
 mind

00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:31.139
 and

00:23:31.139 --> 00:23:31.299
 they're

00:23:31.299 --> 00:23:31.459
 willing

00:23:31.459 --> 00:23:31.699
 to go

00:23:31.699 --> 00:23:31.819
 to

00:23:31.819 --> 00:23:32.139
 any

00:23:32.139 --> 00:23:32.539
 length

00:23:32.539 --> 00:23:32.939
 to

00:23:32.939 --> 00:23:33.299
 glorify

00:23:33.299 --> 00:23:33.459
 the

00:23:33.459 --> 00:23:33.619
 God

00:23:33.619 --> 00:23:33.779
 that

00:23:33.779 --> 00:23:34.000
 saved

00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:34.119
 them

00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:34.319
 from

00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:34.519
 it.

00:23:36.699 --> 00:23:37.199
 Doesn't

00:23:37.199 --> 00:23:37.379
 matter

00:23:37.379 --> 00:23:37.679
 what it

00:23:37.679 --> 00:23:37.939
 is.

00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:38.219
 Doesn't

00:23:38.219 --> 00:23:38.359
 matter

00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:38.539
 if it

00:23:38.539 --> 00:23:38.799
 costs

00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:38.899
 them

00:23:38.899 --> 00:23:39.019
 their

00:23:39.019 --> 00:23:39.299
 life.

00:23:39.459 --> 00:23:39.559
 Oh,

00:23:39.619 --> 00:23:39.819
 by the

00:23:39.819 --> 00:23:40.000
 way,

00:23:40.299 --> 00:23:40.459
 that

00:23:40.459 --> 00:23:40.819
 couple

00:23:40.819 --> 00:23:41.240
 was

00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:41.519
 married

00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:41.879
 two

00:23:41.879 --> 00:23:42.240
 weeks

00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:42.740
 prior

00:23:42.740 --> 00:23:42.879
 to

00:23:42.879 --> 00:23:43.119
 that.

00:23:44.500 --> 00:23:45.019
 Newlyweds.

00:23:45.019 --> 00:23:50.420
 we

00:23:50.420 --> 00:23:50.740
 are

00:23:50.740 --> 00:23:52.420
 elementary

00:23:52.420 --> 00:23:53.319
 Christians

00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:53.619
 here.

00:23:54.619 --> 00:23:54.900
 Okay?

00:23:56.500 --> 00:23:57.139
 We

00:23:57.139 --> 00:23:57.379
 get

00:23:57.379 --> 00:23:57.839
 Christ.

00:23:58.920 --> 00:23:59.279
 We

00:23:59.279 --> 00:23:59.460
 get

00:23:59.460 --> 00:24:00.000
 Christ.

00:24:00.700 --> 00:24:00.900
 He

00:24:00.900 --> 00:24:01.160
 got

00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:01.539
 our

00:24:01.539 --> 00:24:01.920
 sin,

00:24:02.180 --> 00:24:02.440
 our

00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:02.859
 shame.

00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:03.359
 We

00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:03.519
 get

00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:03.740
 him.

00:24:04.539 --> 00:24:04.819
 This

00:24:04.819 --> 00:24:05.059
 is the

00:24:05.059 --> 00:24:05.339
 idea

00:24:05.339 --> 00:24:05.639
 of being

00:24:05.639 --> 00:24:06.059
 ransomed.

00:24:07.579 --> 00:24:08.160
 What a

00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:08.480
 redemption.

00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:09.319
 What a

00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:09.660
 glorious

00:24:09.660 --> 00:24:10.160
 thing he's

00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:11.099
 done in

00:24:11.099 --> 00:24:11.500
 paying our

00:24:11.500 --> 00:24:11.960
 ransom with

00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:12.259
 his own

00:24:12.259 --> 00:24:12.619
 blood.

00:24:14.180 --> 00:24:14.660
 That

00:24:14.660 --> 00:24:14.960
 man had

00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:15.140
 to be

00:24:15.140 --> 00:24:15.360
 thinking

00:24:15.360 --> 00:24:15.620
 something

00:24:15.620 --> 00:24:15.960
 like,

00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:17.600
 my

00:24:17.600 --> 00:24:17.980
 Savior

00:24:17.980 --> 00:24:18.920
 suffered

00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:20.079
 so much

00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:20.360
 more than

00:24:20.360 --> 00:24:20.660
 I ever

00:24:20.660 --> 00:24:20.940
 did.

00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:22.279
 My

00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:22.680
 eyes are

00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:23.160
 put out.

00:24:23.819 --> 00:24:24.059
 My

00:24:24.059 --> 00:24:24.539
 spine's

00:24:24.539 --> 00:24:24.680
 all

00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:25.059
 screwed

00:24:25.059 --> 00:24:25.340
 up.

00:24:25.700 --> 00:24:25.819
 My

00:24:25.819 --> 00:24:26.160
 wife's

00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:26.319
 getting

00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:26.600
 tortured

00:24:26.600 --> 00:24:26.860
 in the

00:24:26.860 --> 00:24:27.079
 back

00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:27.380
 room.

00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:27.940
 I'm

00:24:27.940 --> 00:24:28.360
 going to

00:24:28.360 --> 00:24:28.480
 get

00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:28.900
 crucified

00:24:28.900 --> 00:24:29.440
 soon.

00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:29.880
 And

00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:30.180
 God

00:24:30.180 --> 00:24:30.420
 did

00:24:30.420 --> 00:24:30.799
 so

00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:31.079
 much

00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:31.440
 more

00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:31.840
 for

00:24:31.840 --> 00:24:31.980
 me

00:24:31.980 --> 00:24:32.079
 than

00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:32.180
 I

00:24:32.180 --> 00:24:32.299
 could

00:24:32.299 --> 00:24:32.500
 ever

00:24:32.500 --> 00:24:33.140
 pay

00:24:33.140 --> 00:24:33.279
 him

00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:33.620
 back.

00:24:34.700 --> 00:24:35.220
 He's

00:24:35.220 --> 00:24:35.500
 worthy

00:24:35.500 --> 00:24:35.840
 of our

00:24:35.840 --> 00:24:36.140
 worship.

00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:37.920
 He's

00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:38.200
 worthy

00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:38.579
 of you

00:24:38.579 --> 00:24:38.840
 waking

00:24:38.840 --> 00:24:39.120
 up in

00:24:39.120 --> 00:24:39.220
 the

00:24:39.220 --> 00:24:39.400
 morning

00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:39.759
 early

00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:40.079
 to be

00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:40.299
 with

00:24:40.299 --> 00:24:40.299


00:24:40.299 --> 00:24:40.500
 him.

00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:40.500
!

00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:41.559
 He's

00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:41.799
 worthy

00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:46.180
 of you

00:24:46.180 --> 00:24:46.500
 honoring

00:24:46.500 --> 00:24:46.799
 God

00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:46.920
 with

00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:47.039
 your

00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:47.579
 relationships.

00:24:50.600 --> 00:24:51.140
 He's

00:24:51.140 --> 00:24:51.340
 worthy

00:24:51.340 --> 00:24:51.500
 of

00:24:51.500 --> 00:24:51.900
 everything.

00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:52.720
 Your

00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:53.000
 money,

00:24:53.140 --> 00:24:53.220
 your

00:24:53.220 --> 00:24:53.539
 time,

00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:53.720
 your

00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:54.120
 possessions.

00:24:56.519 --> 00:24:57.059
 God

00:24:57.059 --> 00:24:57.220
 has

00:24:57.220 --> 00:24:57.460
 bought

00:24:57.460 --> 00:24:57.700
 you

00:24:57.700 --> 00:24:58.420
 with

00:24:58.420 --> 00:24:58.579
 his

00:24:58.579 --> 00:24:58.860
 blood.

00:24:58.960 --> 00:24:59.019
 You're

00:24:59.019 --> 00:24:59.140
 not

00:24:59.140 --> 00:24:59.299
 your

00:24:59.299 --> 00:24:59.559
 own.

00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:00.240
 You

00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:00.579
 belong

00:25:00.579 --> 00:25:00.759
 to

00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:01.000
 him.

00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:05.559
 Who

00:25:05.559 --> 00:25:06.279
 or what

00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:06.660
 could be

00:25:06.660 --> 00:25:07.000
 better

00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:07.720
 than

00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:08.100
 Christ?

00:25:10.299 --> 00:25:10.819
 What

00:25:10.819 --> 00:25:11.079
 could be

00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:11.240
 better

00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:11.400
 than

00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:11.680
 that?

00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:14.360
 If

00:25:14.360 --> 00:25:14.519
 you're

00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:14.960
 wandering,

00:25:15.220 --> 00:25:15.580
 don't

00:25:15.580 --> 00:25:15.940
 wander

00:25:15.940 --> 00:25:16.360
 anymore.

00:25:19.080 --> 00:25:19.519
 Turn

00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:19.920
 back to

00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:20.039
 him.

00:25:20.080 --> 00:25:20.160
 If

00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:20.299
 you're

00:25:20.299 --> 00:25:20.700
 still

00:25:20.700 --> 00:25:21.220
 in

00:25:21.220 --> 00:25:21.360
 your

00:25:21.360 --> 00:25:21.860
 sins,

00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:22.060
 if

00:25:22.060 --> 00:25:22.180
 you

00:25:22.180 --> 00:25:22.360
 don't

00:25:22.360 --> 00:25:22.660
 know

00:25:22.660 --> 00:25:22.900
 this

00:25:22.900 --> 00:25:23.299
 Christ,

00:25:25.299 --> 00:25:25.460
 if

00:25:25.460 --> 00:25:25.600
 this

00:25:25.600 --> 00:25:25.799
 isn't

00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:25.960
 a

00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:26.240
 Jesus

00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:26.500
 that

00:25:26.500 --> 00:25:26.640
 you

00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:27.019
 worship,

00:25:27.140 --> 00:25:27.259
 that

00:25:27.259 --> 00:25:27.380
 you

00:25:27.380 --> 00:25:27.720
 know,

00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:30.519
 repent.

00:25:31.360 --> 00:25:31.820
 Don't

00:25:31.820 --> 00:25:32.160
 wait another

00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:32.560
 moment.

00:25:35.060 --> 00:25:35.539
 Repent

00:25:35.539 --> 00:25:35.820
 of your

00:25:35.820 --> 00:25:36.259
 sins.

00:25:36.940 --> 00:25:37.220
 Trust

00:25:37.220 --> 00:25:37.420
 in

00:25:37.420 --> 00:25:37.680
 him.

00:25:37.840 --> 00:25:38.019
 He's

00:25:38.019 --> 00:25:38.240
 done

00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:38.440
 this

00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:38.740
 already

00:25:38.740 --> 00:25:39.039
 for

00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:39.259
 you.

00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:39.860
 This

00:25:39.860 --> 00:25:40.039
 work

00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:40.180
 is

00:25:40.180 --> 00:25:40.620
 complete.

00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:43.080
 If

00:25:43.080 --> 00:25:43.180
 you

00:25:43.180 --> 00:25:43.480
 have

00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:43.779
 him,

00:25:44.700 --> 00:25:44.980
 but

00:25:44.980 --> 00:25:45.080
 you

00:25:45.080 --> 00:25:45.180
 are

00:25:45.180 --> 00:25:45.720
 neglecting

00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:45.980
 him,

00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:47.140
 why

00:25:47.140 --> 00:25:47.360
 would

00:25:47.360 --> 00:25:47.620
 you?

00:25:49.539 --> 00:25:49.980
 For

00:25:49.980 --> 00:25:50.160
 what

00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:50.380
 other

00:25:50.380 --> 00:25:50.720
 thing?

00:25:52.560 --> 00:25:52.980
 He's

00:25:52.980 --> 00:25:53.340
 worthy to

00:25:53.340 --> 00:25:53.640
 lose your

00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:54.019
 spouse

00:25:54.019 --> 00:25:54.320
 over,

00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:54.700
 your

00:25:54.700 --> 00:25:55.140
 child

00:25:55.140 --> 00:25:55.480
 over,

00:25:56.120 --> 00:25:56.320
 your

00:25:56.320 --> 00:25:56.680
 life

00:25:56.680 --> 00:25:57.019
 over.

00:25:59.240 --> 00:25:59.660
 There's

00:25:59.660 --> 00:25:59.880
 a woman

00:25:59.880 --> 00:26:00.220
 on this

00:26:00.220 --> 00:26:00.700
 magazine

00:26:00.700 --> 00:26:01.039
 as well.

00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:02.299
 This

00:26:02.299 --> 00:26:02.420
 is

00:26:02.420 --> 00:26:03.000
 horrific.

00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:03.259
 This

00:26:03.259 --> 00:26:03.519
 woman,

00:26:04.320 --> 00:26:04.799
 she's

00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:04.960
 been

00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:05.279
 burned

00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:05.480
 from

00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:05.620
 head

00:26:05.620 --> 00:26:05.759
 to

00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:06.019
 toe.

00:26:06.080 --> 00:26:06.140
 I

00:26:06.140 --> 00:26:06.220
 don't

00:26:06.220 --> 00:26:06.320
 know

00:26:06.320 --> 00:26:06.440
 how

00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:06.539
 it

00:26:06.539 --> 00:26:06.759
 happened,

00:26:06.840 --> 00:26:06.940
 but

00:26:06.940 --> 00:26:07.220
 she's

00:26:07.220 --> 00:26:07.320
 in

00:26:07.320 --> 00:26:07.460
 there

00:26:07.460 --> 00:26:07.940
 smiling,

00:26:08.500 --> 00:26:08.740
 trying

00:26:08.740 --> 00:26:08.880
 to

00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:09.060
 raise

00:26:09.060 --> 00:26:09.360
 money

00:26:09.360 --> 00:26:10.320
 for

00:26:10.320 --> 00:26:10.860
 more

00:26:10.859 --> 00:26:12.319
 Bibles

00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:12.679
 to be

00:26:12.679 --> 00:26:12.939
 sent to

00:26:12.939 --> 00:26:13.059
 her

00:26:13.059 --> 00:26:13.319
 village

00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:13.740
 so she

00:26:13.740 --> 00:26:14.099
 can share

00:26:14.099 --> 00:26:14.399
 more.

00:26:15.199 --> 00:26:15.679
 I don't

00:26:15.679 --> 00:26:15.879
 know what

00:26:15.879 --> 00:26:16.259
 happened to

00:26:16.259 --> 00:26:16.399
 her.

00:26:17.500 --> 00:26:17.719
 These

00:26:17.719 --> 00:26:18.279
 incredible

00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:18.819
 stories,

00:26:19.099 --> 00:26:19.519
 they don't

00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:19.939
 care about

00:26:19.939 --> 00:26:20.119
 the way

00:26:20.119 --> 00:26:20.519
 they look.

00:26:24.299 --> 00:26:25.000
 We do.

00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:26.959
 We

00:26:26.959 --> 00:26:27.339
 shouldn't.

00:26:28.639 --> 00:26:28.859
 The

00:26:28.859 --> 00:26:29.159
 writer of

00:26:29.159 --> 00:26:29.599
 Hebrews says,

00:26:29.699 --> 00:26:30.240
 how can you

00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:31.359
 neglect so

00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:32.240
 great a

00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:32.679
 salvation?

00:26:33.740 --> 00:26:34.219
 How can you

00:26:34.219 --> 00:26:35.000
 neglect this?

00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:36.319
 this is

00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:36.960
 priceless.

00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:41.359
 Repent,

00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:42.619
 return,

00:26:42.900 --> 00:26:43.420
 and rejoice

00:26:43.420 --> 00:26:44.119
 in Christ.

00:26:44.900 --> 00:26:45.059
 Let

00:26:45.059 --> 00:26:45.440
 him be the

00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:45.720
 source of

00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:46.000
 your joy.

00:26:46.079 --> 00:26:46.160
 Let

00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:46.480
 him be the

00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:46.740
 source of

00:26:46.740 --> 00:26:47.180
 your happiness.

00:26:47.740 --> 00:26:47.859
 Let

00:26:47.859 --> 00:26:48.160
 him be the

00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:48.480
 source of

00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:48.660
 your

00:26:48.660 --> 00:26:49.640
 contentment.

00:26:50.359 --> 00:26:50.599
 Not

00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:50.960
 sex,

00:26:51.059 --> 00:26:51.200
 not

00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:51.619
 drink,

00:26:52.619 --> 00:26:54.099
 not a

00:26:54.099 --> 00:26:54.480
 career,

00:26:54.779 --> 00:26:55.240
 not money.

00:26:58.079 --> 00:26:58.339
 Number

00:26:58.339 --> 00:26:58.660
 two,

00:26:59.859 --> 00:27:00.440
 he freed

00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:00.700
 me.

00:27:01.940 --> 00:27:02.599
 He freed

00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:02.839
 me.

00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:03.460
 Turn to

00:27:03.460 --> 00:27:04.099
 Acts 13.

00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:16.680
 Acts 13,

00:27:16.779 --> 00:27:17.140
 beginning in

00:27:17.140 --> 00:27:17.740
 verse 38.

00:27:21.339 --> 00:27:21.940
 Therefore,

00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:22.539
 let it be

00:27:22.539 --> 00:27:23.000
 known to

00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:23.299
 you,

00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:23.740
 brethren,

00:27:24.519 --> 00:27:25.359
 that through

00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:25.779
 him,

00:27:25.819 --> 00:27:26.019
 that's

00:27:26.019 --> 00:27:26.339
 Jesus,

00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:26.940
 forgiveness

00:27:26.940 --> 00:27:27.680
 of sins

00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:28.259
 is proclaimed

00:27:28.259 --> 00:27:29.200
 to you.

00:27:30.420 --> 00:27:31.220
 And through

00:27:31.220 --> 00:27:31.440
 him,

00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:32.140
 everyone who

00:27:32.140 --> 00:27:32.799
 believes is

00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:33.920
 freed from

00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:34.759
 all things.

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:35.779
 from which

00:27:35.779 --> 00:27:36.200
 you could

00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:36.579
 not be

00:27:36.579 --> 00:27:37.380
 freed through

00:27:37.380 --> 00:27:37.680
 the law

00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:38.180
 of Moses.

00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:40.960
 Through

00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:41.180
 him,

00:27:41.259 --> 00:27:42.039
 everyone who

00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:42.660
 believes,

00:27:42.980 --> 00:27:43.640
 believes,

00:27:43.900 --> 00:27:44.359
 believes,

00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:45.680
 is freed from

00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:46.559
 all things from

00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:47.180
 which you could

00:27:47.180 --> 00:27:47.900
 not be freed

00:27:47.900 --> 00:27:48.660
 through the law

00:27:48.660 --> 00:27:49.200
 of Moses.

00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:52.380
 Understand this

00:27:52.380 --> 00:27:52.599
 from the

00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:53.079
 outset of this

00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:53.400
 verse.

00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:55.039
 Believing in

00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:55.579
 the Bible is

00:27:55.579 --> 00:27:56.180
 synonymous with

00:27:56.180 --> 00:27:56.740
 obeying.

00:27:57.759 --> 00:27:58.000
 Okay,

00:27:58.079 --> 00:27:59.220
 believing means

00:27:59.220 --> 00:27:59.859
 obeying.

00:27:59.960 --> 00:28:00.420
 It doesn't mean

00:28:00.420 --> 00:28:01.319
 intellectual ascent

00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:01.960
 to some truth

00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:02.480
 about Jesus

00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:02.960
 Christ.

00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:04.240
 It means a

00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:05.440
 total and

00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:06.160
 complete

00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:07.339
 surrender

00:28:07.339 --> 00:28:08.579
 mentally,

00:28:08.900 --> 00:28:09.220
 physically,

00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:10.039
 and spiritually

00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:11.059
 to the

00:28:11.059 --> 00:28:12.200
 lordship of

00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:12.920
 Jesus Christ.

00:28:14.700 --> 00:28:15.339
 When you

00:28:15.339 --> 00:28:15.500
 say,

00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:16.079
 I believe,

00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:16.559
 that means

00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:16.980
 you obey.

00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:18.000
 That means

00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:18.799
 I faithfully

00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:19.480
 trust in

00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:20.240
 Christ and

00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:20.460
 I will

00:28:20.460 --> 00:28:21.019
 follow him.

00:28:21.460 --> 00:28:21.839
 It does

00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:22.180
 not mean

00:28:22.180 --> 00:28:22.579
 you believe

00:28:22.579 --> 00:28:22.839
 in him or

00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:23.079
 that you

00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:23.480
 heard about

00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:23.720
 him and

00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:24.019
 that you

00:28:24.019 --> 00:28:24.480
 made a

00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:24.819
 profession

00:28:24.819 --> 00:28:25.079
 of him

00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:25.240
 when you

00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:25.579
 were seven

00:28:25.579 --> 00:28:26.120
 years old.

00:28:27.059 --> 00:28:27.460
 That is

00:28:27.460 --> 00:28:27.640
 not

00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:28.059
 believing.

00:28:28.059 --> 00:28:29.980
 Believing is

00:28:29.980 --> 00:28:30.460
 every day.

00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:35.119
 It's a big

00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:35.500
 difference,

00:28:35.659 --> 00:28:36.059
 believe me.

00:28:37.259 --> 00:28:37.460
 If you

00:28:37.460 --> 00:28:38.480
 don't believe

00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:38.819
 what I just

00:28:38.819 --> 00:28:39.000
 said,

00:28:39.079 --> 00:28:39.319
 turn to

00:28:39.319 --> 00:28:40.099
 John 3.36

00:28:40.099 --> 00:28:40.359
 and you

00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:40.599
 can see

00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:40.980
 that there.

00:28:41.539 --> 00:28:41.819
 I'm not

00:28:41.819 --> 00:28:41.960
 going to

00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:42.259
 go to it

00:28:42.259 --> 00:28:42.519
 right now,

00:28:42.700 --> 00:28:43.639
 but that's

00:28:43.639 --> 00:28:43.980
 a reference,

00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:44.799
 John 3.36.

00:28:45.700 --> 00:28:46.039
 So,

00:28:46.179 --> 00:28:46.659
 through Christ,

00:28:46.779 --> 00:28:47.259
 forgiveness of

00:28:47.259 --> 00:28:47.659
 sins is

00:28:47.659 --> 00:28:48.319
 offered as we

00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:49.119
 clearly see

00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:49.539
 stated in

00:28:49.539 --> 00:28:49.960
 our verse.

00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:50.919
 MacArthur

00:28:50.919 --> 00:28:51.159
 said,

00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:51.639
 referring to

00:28:51.639 --> 00:28:51.980
 the verse,

00:28:52.059 --> 00:28:52.399
 he said,

00:28:53.220 --> 00:28:53.759
 the atoning

00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:54.279
 death of

00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:54.599
 Jesus

00:28:54.599 --> 00:28:55.399
 completely

00:28:55.399 --> 00:28:57.039
 satisfied the

00:28:57.039 --> 00:28:57.799
 demands of

00:28:57.799 --> 00:28:58.220
 God's

00:28:58.220 --> 00:28:58.559
 law.

00:29:00.460 --> 00:29:00.940
 Making

00:29:00.940 --> 00:29:01.639
 forgiveness of

00:29:01.639 --> 00:29:02.259
 all sins

00:29:02.259 --> 00:29:02.839
 available to

00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:03.159
 all who

00:29:03.159 --> 00:29:03.539
 believe.

00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:05.440
 However,

00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:06.019
 this forgiveness

00:29:06.019 --> 00:29:06.639
 is accompanied

00:29:06.639 --> 00:29:07.159
 by a new

00:29:07.159 --> 00:29:07.519
 heart.

00:29:09.180 --> 00:29:09.619
 Okay?

00:29:09.700 --> 00:29:10.039
 With a new

00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:10.539
 heart comes

00:29:10.539 --> 00:29:11.200
 new desires

00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:11.960
 for new

00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:12.399
 things.

00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:15.279
 This is how

00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:15.539
 you know

00:29:15.539 --> 00:29:16.039
 you're saved.

00:29:17.299 --> 00:29:17.980
 This new

00:29:17.980 --> 00:29:18.299
 heart you

00:29:18.299 --> 00:29:18.619
 have,

00:29:18.700 --> 00:29:19.099
 that's been

00:29:19.099 --> 00:29:19.480
 given to

00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:19.599
 you,

00:29:19.639 --> 00:29:19.859
 it's a

00:29:19.859 --> 00:29:20.119
 spiritual

00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:20.480
 heart,

00:29:20.899 --> 00:29:21.659
 gives you

00:29:21.659 --> 00:29:22.319
 desires for

00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:22.599
 new

00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:23.079
 things.

00:29:27.180 --> 00:29:27.700
 If you

00:29:27.700 --> 00:29:27.900
 don't have

00:29:27.900 --> 00:29:28.440
 new desires,

00:29:28.700 --> 00:29:28.920
 you don't

00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:29.400
 have Christ.

00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:31.140
 And the

00:29:31.140 --> 00:29:31.720
 one thing

00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:32.100
 that is

00:29:32.100 --> 00:29:33.019
 primary in

00:29:33.019 --> 00:29:33.279
 terms of

00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:33.519
 what you

00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:34.400
 desire is

00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:35.039
 God's

00:29:35.039 --> 00:29:35.539
 glory.

00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:37.360
 You desire

00:29:37.360 --> 00:29:37.920
 to see

00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:38.860
 your Savior

00:29:38.860 --> 00:29:39.259
 who is

00:29:39.259 --> 00:29:39.779
 worthy as

00:29:39.779 --> 00:29:40.160
 we've already

00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:40.600
 determined,

00:29:41.220 --> 00:29:41.920
 glorified.

00:29:43.600 --> 00:29:44.120
 Glorified.

00:29:44.700 --> 00:29:45.660
 At any

00:29:45.660 --> 00:29:46.519
 cost to

00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:47.080
 yourself,

00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:48.920
 to your

00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:49.279
 family,

00:29:49.420 --> 00:29:49.759
 to your

00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:50.120
 friends,

00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:50.880
 to anything.

00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:52.420
 You want

00:29:52.420 --> 00:29:52.680
 to see

00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:52.940
 Jesus

00:29:52.940 --> 00:29:53.539
 glorified.

00:29:53.700 --> 00:29:54.039
 Freedom,

00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:54.380
 okay,

00:29:54.500 --> 00:29:55.000
 is found

00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:55.279
 in our

00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:55.660
 choices.

00:29:55.660 --> 00:29:57.240
 Freedom is

00:29:57.240 --> 00:29:57.500
 found in

00:29:57.500 --> 00:29:58.060
 your choices,

00:29:58.300 --> 00:29:58.480
 right?

00:29:59.080 --> 00:29:59.580
 We do

00:29:59.580 --> 00:29:59.779
 what we

00:29:59.779 --> 00:30:00.080
 want to

00:30:00.080 --> 00:30:00.259
 do.

00:30:00.980 --> 00:30:01.320
 And I

00:30:01.320 --> 00:30:01.800
 promise you,

00:30:01.860 --> 00:30:02.240
 you never

00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:02.620
 do what

00:30:02.620 --> 00:30:02.980
 you don't

00:30:02.980 --> 00:30:03.240
 want to

00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:03.400
 do.

00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:05.620
 You only

00:30:05.620 --> 00:30:05.960
 do what

00:30:05.960 --> 00:30:06.220
 you want

00:30:06.220 --> 00:30:06.540
 to do,

00:30:07.019 --> 00:30:07.300
 okay?

00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:08.019
 If you

00:30:08.019 --> 00:30:08.500
 get mugged

00:30:08.500 --> 00:30:08.720
 on the

00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:09.080
 street,

00:30:10.080 --> 00:30:10.279
 and the

00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:10.640
 guy points

00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:10.920
 a gun at

00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:11.080
 you and

00:30:11.080 --> 00:30:11.320
 he says,

00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:11.560
 give me

00:30:11.560 --> 00:30:11.940
 your money,

00:30:12.940 --> 00:30:13.740
 the only

00:30:13.740 --> 00:30:14.200
 reason why

00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:14.440
 you give

00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:14.600
 them your

00:30:14.600 --> 00:30:14.840
 money is

00:30:14.840 --> 00:30:14.980
 because you

00:30:14.980 --> 00:30:15.160
 don't want

00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:15.279
 to get

00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:15.720
 shot.

00:30:16.519 --> 00:30:16.800
 Or you

00:30:16.800 --> 00:30:17.380
 would rather

00:30:17.380 --> 00:30:17.660
 give them

00:30:17.660 --> 00:30:18.019
 your money

00:30:18.019 --> 00:30:18.300
 than you

00:30:18.300 --> 00:30:18.600
 would rather

00:30:18.600 --> 00:30:19.120
 get shot.

00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:20.500
 You only

00:30:20.500 --> 00:30:20.779
 do what

00:30:20.779 --> 00:30:21.019
 you want

00:30:21.019 --> 00:30:21.240
 to do,

00:30:21.380 --> 00:30:22.120
 all the

00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:22.439
 time.

00:30:23.179 --> 00:30:23.459
 No

00:30:23.459 --> 00:30:23.879
 exceptions.

00:30:24.839 --> 00:30:25.219
 You never

00:30:25.219 --> 00:30:25.939
 act contrary

00:30:25.939 --> 00:30:26.439
 to what

00:30:26.439 --> 00:30:26.919
 you want.

00:30:28.179 --> 00:30:28.539
 Sometimes

00:30:28.539 --> 00:30:29.039
 that means

00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:29.399
 wanting,

00:30:30.539 --> 00:30:31.079
 I don't

00:30:31.079 --> 00:30:31.279
 know,

00:30:31.479 --> 00:30:31.959
 to wake

00:30:31.959 --> 00:30:32.279
 up early

00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:32.439
 in the

00:30:32.439 --> 00:30:32.679
 morning

00:30:32.679 --> 00:30:33.299
 more than

00:30:33.299 --> 00:30:33.579
 you want

00:30:33.579 --> 00:30:34.039
 to sleep.

00:30:37.019 --> 00:30:37.539
 Therefore,

00:30:37.859 --> 00:30:38.519
 from God's

00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:38.979
 perspective,

00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:39.479
 which is the

00:30:39.479 --> 00:30:39.859
 only one that

00:30:39.859 --> 00:30:40.199
 matters,

00:30:41.819 --> 00:30:42.419
 a man is

00:30:42.419 --> 00:30:43.199
 in bondage

00:30:43.199 --> 00:30:44.579
 when he

00:30:44.579 --> 00:30:45.799
 cannot choose

00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:46.739
 to do

00:30:46.739 --> 00:30:47.319
 what he

00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:47.979
 originally was

00:30:47.979 --> 00:30:48.519
 created to

00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:49.059
 do,

00:30:50.099 --> 00:30:50.679
 a.k.a.

00:30:50.879 --> 00:30:51.699
 glorify God.

00:30:52.939 --> 00:30:53.559
 So you

00:30:53.559 --> 00:30:53.859
 are in

00:30:53.859 --> 00:30:54.299
 bondage

00:30:54.299 --> 00:30:54.639
 to your

00:30:54.639 --> 00:30:55.459
 sin when

00:30:55.459 --> 00:30:56.299
 you cannot

00:30:56.299 --> 00:30:57.519
 choose

00:30:57.519 --> 00:30:59.359
 freely

00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:01.599
 to do

00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:01.839
 what you

00:31:01.839 --> 00:31:02.319
 were created

00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:02.659
 to do,

00:31:02.699 --> 00:31:02.939
 which is

00:31:02.939 --> 00:31:03.659
 to glorify

00:31:03.659 --> 00:31:04.139
 God.

00:31:05.859 --> 00:31:06.299
 That's

00:31:06.299 --> 00:31:07.579
 the definition

00:31:07.579 --> 00:31:07.959
 of being

00:31:07.959 --> 00:31:08.439
 in bondage

00:31:08.439 --> 00:31:08.779
 to sin.

00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:09.299
 You can't

00:31:09.299 --> 00:31:10.579
 do what

00:31:10.579 --> 00:31:11.179
 God created

00:31:11.179 --> 00:31:11.500
 you to

00:31:11.500 --> 00:31:12.179
 originally do

00:31:12.179 --> 00:31:13.079
 to freely

00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:13.779
 do what

00:31:13.779 --> 00:31:14.179
 a Christian

00:31:14.179 --> 00:31:14.699
 only can

00:31:14.699 --> 00:31:14.839
 do,

00:31:14.919 --> 00:31:15.119
 which is

00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:15.579
 to glorify

00:31:15.579 --> 00:31:15.879
 God.

00:31:18.419 --> 00:31:19.099
 He is

00:31:19.099 --> 00:31:19.559
 imprisoned

00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:20.319
 by sin

00:31:20.319 --> 00:31:20.879
 to act

00:31:20.879 --> 00:31:21.759
 only according

00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:22.140
 to his

00:31:22.140 --> 00:31:22.519
 fallen

00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:23.079
 desires.

00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:25.140
 The sinner

00:31:25.140 --> 00:31:25.740
 constantly

00:31:25.740 --> 00:31:26.259
 throughout his

00:31:26.259 --> 00:31:26.940
 entire life

00:31:26.940 --> 00:31:27.640
 makes decisions

00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:28.240
 and choices

00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:28.940
 based on these

00:31:28.940 --> 00:31:29.740
 wicked desires

00:31:29.740 --> 00:31:30.240
 for wicked

00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:30.740
 things,

00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:31.839
 which never

00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:32.319
 result in the

00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:32.779
 things hoped

00:31:32.779 --> 00:31:33.079
 for,

00:31:33.500 --> 00:31:34.180
 like happiness,

00:31:35.019 --> 00:31:36.019
 like satisfaction,

00:31:36.740 --> 00:31:37.299
 like joy,

00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:38.140
 like contentment,

00:31:38.259 --> 00:31:39.059
 like lasting

00:31:39.059 --> 00:31:39.460
 pleasure,

00:31:39.599 --> 00:31:40.160
 like blessing.

00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:41.000
 It never

00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:41.660
 results in that.

00:31:41.740 --> 00:31:42.180
 Everything that

00:31:42.180 --> 00:31:42.539
 the sinner

00:31:42.539 --> 00:31:44.019
 experiences as

00:31:44.019 --> 00:31:44.519
 a result of

00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:45.039
 making these

00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:45.379
 fallen

00:31:45.379 --> 00:31:46.779
 decisions is

00:31:46.779 --> 00:31:50.579
 a fictitious

00:31:50.579 --> 00:31:53.039
 representative of

00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:53.420
 what God

00:31:53.420 --> 00:31:54.039
 really intended

00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:54.480
 that to be.

00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:55.059
 Only the

00:31:55.059 --> 00:31:55.480
 Christian,

00:31:56.019 --> 00:31:56.579
 only the

00:31:56.579 --> 00:31:57.460
 Christian can

00:31:57.460 --> 00:31:58.160
 experience true

00:31:58.160 --> 00:31:58.480
 joy,

00:31:58.839 --> 00:31:59.359
 true happiness,

00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:00.259
 true satisfaction,

00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:00.879
 true lasting

00:32:00.879 --> 00:32:01.240
 pleasure,

00:32:01.619 --> 00:32:02.259
 true contentment,

00:32:02.379 --> 00:32:02.920
 true blessing,

00:32:03.420 --> 00:32:04.220
 true thankfulness,

00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:05.000
 only the

00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:05.359
 Christian,

00:32:06.399 --> 00:32:07.000
 not the

00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:07.139
 sinner.

00:32:08.399 --> 00:32:08.920
 They get

00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:09.420
 fool's gold.

00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:10.579
 We get the

00:32:10.579 --> 00:32:10.960
 real thing.

00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:16.360
 You know this

00:32:16.360 --> 00:32:16.680
 is true,

00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:17.079
 don't you?

00:32:18.660 --> 00:32:19.279
 Those of you

00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:19.819
 that aren't

00:32:19.819 --> 00:32:20.259
 believers,

00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:21.840
 you know this

00:32:21.840 --> 00:32:22.180
 is true.

00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:24.039
 C.S. Lewis

00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:24.620
 said this,

00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:26.059
 if we find

00:32:26.059 --> 00:32:26.759
 ourselves with a

00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:28.559
 desire that

00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:29.220
 nothing in this

00:32:29.220 --> 00:32:29.680
 world can

00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:30.299
 satisfy,

00:32:31.779 --> 00:32:32.539
 the most

00:32:32.539 --> 00:32:33.000
 probable

00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:34.319
 explanation is

00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:34.759
 that we were

00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:35.380
 made for another

00:32:35.380 --> 00:32:35.740
 world.

00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:39.779
 You know it's

00:32:39.779 --> 00:32:40.000
 true.

00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:41.720
 You're not

00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:42.400
 satisfied.

00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:44.799
 The last

00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:45.319
 girl was good,

00:32:45.380 --> 00:32:45.700
 but you need

00:32:45.700 --> 00:32:46.140
 another one.

00:32:46.779 --> 00:32:47.400
 The last

00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:47.799
 drink was good,

00:32:47.840 --> 00:32:48.100
 but you need

00:32:48.100 --> 00:32:48.559
 another one.

00:32:49.600 --> 00:32:50.259
 That last

00:32:50.259 --> 00:32:50.700
 show was really

00:32:50.700 --> 00:32:50.940
 funny,

00:32:50.980 --> 00:32:51.259
 but you need

00:32:51.259 --> 00:32:51.740
 another one.

00:32:54.420 --> 00:32:55.100
 You're never

00:32:55.100 --> 00:32:55.680
 satisfied.

00:32:56.299 --> 00:32:56.900
 That means,

00:32:57.400 --> 00:32:57.880
 according to

00:32:57.880 --> 00:32:58.259
 logic,

00:32:59.340 --> 00:32:59.900
 maybe we were

00:32:59.900 --> 00:33:00.380
 created for

00:33:00.380 --> 00:33:00.940
 something other

00:33:00.940 --> 00:33:01.319
 than this

00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:01.559
 world.

00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:06.140
 The freedom

00:33:06.140 --> 00:33:06.579
 that I have

00:33:06.579 --> 00:33:07.259
 experienced in

00:33:07.259 --> 00:33:08.079
 Christ is a

00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:08.600
 freedom from

00:33:08.600 --> 00:33:09.660
 sin and from

00:33:09.660 --> 00:33:10.480
 death and from

00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:10.860
 hell.

00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:11.440
 and from

00:33:11.440 --> 00:33:11.920
 the devil,

00:33:12.299 --> 00:33:13.059
 but contained

00:33:13.059 --> 00:33:13.700
 within that

00:33:13.700 --> 00:33:15.559
 freedom is a

00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:16.200
 freedom from the

00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:17.019
 normal life,

00:33:18.220 --> 00:33:19.380
 is a freedom

00:33:19.380 --> 00:33:20.539
 from worldly

00:33:20.539 --> 00:33:21.059
 pleasure,

00:33:21.600 --> 00:33:22.940
 which is weak

00:33:22.940 --> 00:33:24.799
 in comparison

00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:25.319
 with godly

00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:25.579
 pleasure.

00:33:26.539 --> 00:33:27.220
 I've been

00:33:27.220 --> 00:33:28.420
 freed from

00:33:28.420 --> 00:33:28.860
 the common

00:33:28.860 --> 00:33:29.620
 man's joy.

00:33:30.900 --> 00:33:31.539
 I've been

00:33:31.539 --> 00:33:32.279
 freed from

00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:32.680
 the common

00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:33.480
 man's peace

00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:34.380
 and his love,

00:33:34.660 --> 00:33:35.039
 which is

00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:35.759
 inferior to

00:33:35.759 --> 00:33:36.079
 what I get

00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:36.559
 in Christ.

00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:36.639
 Christ.

00:33:38.819 --> 00:33:39.619
 And I've

00:33:39.619 --> 00:33:40.200
 been freed

00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:42.980
 to all

00:33:42.980 --> 00:33:43.720
 those godly

00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:44.179
 fruits,

00:33:44.899 --> 00:33:45.500
 which the

00:33:45.500 --> 00:33:46.059
 Spirit picks

00:33:46.059 --> 00:33:46.359
 from the

00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:46.779
 trees of

00:33:46.779 --> 00:33:47.139
 heaven and

00:33:47.139 --> 00:33:48.039
 brings to

00:33:48.039 --> 00:33:48.359
 God's

00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:48.639
 earthly

00:33:48.639 --> 00:33:49.000
 children.

00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:51.639
 It's

00:33:51.639 --> 00:33:52.139
 conferred to

00:33:52.139 --> 00:33:52.539
 you by the

00:33:52.539 --> 00:33:53.099
 Spirit of

00:33:53.099 --> 00:33:55.019
 God from

00:33:55.019 --> 00:33:55.339
 heaven.

00:33:56.419 --> 00:33:57.000
 You can't

00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:57.440
 get it

00:33:57.440 --> 00:33:58.700
 through earthly

00:33:58.700 --> 00:33:59.139
 means.

00:34:00.679 --> 00:34:01.259
 What are those

00:34:01.259 --> 00:34:01.539
 fruits?

00:34:01.539 --> 00:34:02.079
 love,

00:34:02.539 --> 00:34:02.879
 joy,

00:34:03.460 --> 00:34:03.879
 peace,

00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:04.720
 patience,

00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:05.519
 kindness,

00:34:06.099 --> 00:34:06.559
 gentleness,

00:34:07.299 --> 00:34:08.059
 self-control,

00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:09.440
 faithfulness.

00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:13.960
 Galatians 5

00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:14.300
 says,

00:34:14.420 --> 00:34:15.500
 against such

00:34:15.500 --> 00:34:16.019
 things there

00:34:16.019 --> 00:34:16.639
 is no law.

00:34:18.239 --> 00:34:18.699
 You've been

00:34:18.699 --> 00:34:19.139
 freed from

00:34:19.139 --> 00:34:19.539
 the law,

00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:20.199
 you've been

00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:20.739
 freed to

00:34:20.739 --> 00:34:21.440
 these things.

00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:24.219
 That's not

00:34:24.219 --> 00:34:24.779
 the motivation

00:34:24.779 --> 00:34:26.119
 for why you

00:34:26.119 --> 00:34:26.400
 come to

00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:26.759
 Christ.

00:34:26.980 --> 00:34:27.400
 You come to

00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:27.800
 Christ for

00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:28.159
 Christ.

00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:30.900
 But we've

00:34:30.900 --> 00:34:31.440
 been freed

00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:32.240
 from all

00:34:32.240 --> 00:34:33.340
 this lower

00:34:33.340 --> 00:34:35.639
 stuff to

00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:36.200
 Christ and

00:34:36.200 --> 00:34:36.460
 all these

00:34:36.460 --> 00:34:37.340
 higher things.

00:34:38.300 --> 00:34:39.059
 It's part of

00:34:39.059 --> 00:34:39.519
 our salvation.

00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:41.740
 God freed

00:34:41.740 --> 00:34:42.019
 you,

00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:42.700
 Christian.

00:34:43.260 --> 00:34:43.800
 He set you

00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:44.320
 free from the

00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:44.960
 ordinary to

00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:45.460
 enjoy the

00:34:45.460 --> 00:34:46.039
 bliss of the

00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:46.480
 extraordinary,

00:34:47.019 --> 00:34:47.440
 from the

00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:47.960
 natural to

00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:48.579
 the supernatural.

00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:49.340
 Is this

00:34:49.340 --> 00:34:50.019
 your experience?

00:34:52.700 --> 00:34:53.260
 Did you

00:34:53.260 --> 00:34:54.139
 experience this?

00:34:56.179 --> 00:34:56.920
 Believe me,

00:34:56.980 --> 00:34:57.579
 I've tasted.

00:34:58.400 --> 00:34:59.179
 I've tasted.

00:34:59.780 --> 00:35:00.360
 If you're a

00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:00.780
 Christian here,

00:35:00.780 --> 00:35:01.360
 you've tasted

00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:01.800
 in some

00:35:01.800 --> 00:35:02.740
 way that

00:35:02.740 --> 00:35:03.740
 peace that

00:35:03.740 --> 00:35:04.440
 surpasses all

00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:04.920
 comprehension,

00:35:05.820 --> 00:35:06.140
 that you

00:35:06.140 --> 00:35:06.760
 can't explain

00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:07.320
 with words,

00:35:07.980 --> 00:35:08.860
 that joy that

00:35:08.860 --> 00:35:09.560
 is lasting,

00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:11.420
 that contentment

00:35:11.420 --> 00:35:11.700
 in the midst

00:35:11.700 --> 00:35:12.260
 of the worst

00:35:12.260 --> 00:35:13.420
 situation that

00:35:13.420 --> 00:35:13.960
 only Christ

00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:14.560
 could confer to

00:35:14.560 --> 00:35:14.980
 somebody.

00:35:14.980 --> 00:35:24.380
 do you know

00:35:24.380 --> 00:35:24.820
 him or do you

00:35:24.820 --> 00:35:25.099
 just know

00:35:25.099 --> 00:35:25.539
 about him?

00:35:26.099 --> 00:35:26.420
 Do you

00:35:26.420 --> 00:35:26.900
 live in his

00:35:26.900 --> 00:35:27.219
 love?

00:35:27.300 --> 00:35:27.500
 Do you

00:35:27.500 --> 00:35:28.079
 seek for new

00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:28.539
 ways to

00:35:28.539 --> 00:35:29.280
 relinquish all

00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:29.699
 your formal

00:35:29.699 --> 00:35:30.380
 ways of sin?

00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:31.159
 Or do you

00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:31.679
 find that you

00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:32.280
 still love

00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:32.559
 sin?

00:35:35.460 --> 00:35:36.139
 Not one

00:35:36.139 --> 00:35:36.740
 sin can you

00:35:36.740 --> 00:35:37.079
 keep.

00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:38.639
 You must be

00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:39.280
 done with all

00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:39.599
 of them.

00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:44.299
 He freed you

00:35:44.299 --> 00:35:44.980
 for himself.

00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:47.239
 Okay?

00:35:47.460 --> 00:35:48.219
 God freed you

00:35:48.219 --> 00:35:49.119
 for himself.

00:35:49.739 --> 00:35:50.539
 Not for you.

00:35:51.420 --> 00:35:52.079
 Not for your

00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:52.380
 joy.

00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:52.880
 Not for your

00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:53.199
 blessing.

00:35:53.319 --> 00:35:53.779
 He freed you

00:35:53.779 --> 00:35:54.539
 for himself.

00:35:56.139 --> 00:35:56.900
 For himself.

00:35:58.400 --> 00:35:59.059
 Never forget

00:35:59.059 --> 00:35:59.259
 that.

00:35:59.339 --> 00:36:00.019
 For his glory.

00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:00.599
 For his own

00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:01.039
 purposes.

00:36:01.259 --> 00:36:01.659
 For his own

00:36:01.659 --> 00:36:02.059
 pleasure.

00:36:02.900 --> 00:36:03.579
 Not so that you

00:36:03.579 --> 00:36:04.239
 can cheapen his

00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:04.819
 grace by doing

00:36:04.819 --> 00:36:05.500
 whatever you want

00:36:05.500 --> 00:36:05.980
 and then thinking

00:36:05.980 --> 00:36:06.639
 that if you pray a

00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:07.139
 small little prayer

00:36:07.139 --> 00:36:07.599
 then God's going

00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:08.239
 to forgive you.

00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:11.639
 Or my buddies

00:36:11.639 --> 00:36:12.159
 are doing this

00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:12.920
 so then I'm

00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:13.299
 good too.

00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:14.480
 That's cheap

00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:14.920
 grace.

00:36:15.659 --> 00:36:16.299
 That's not

00:36:16.299 --> 00:36:16.980
 comprehending the

00:36:16.980 --> 00:36:17.440
 ransomed

00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:19.440
 sacrifice which

00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:19.980
 was Christ.

00:36:21.460 --> 00:36:22.159
 That's cheap

00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:22.559
 grace.

00:36:25.299 --> 00:36:25.799
 That's an

00:36:25.799 --> 00:36:26.379
 immature thought.

00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:28.859
 God's salvation

00:36:28.859 --> 00:36:29.819
 should so

00:36:29.819 --> 00:36:30.460
 overwhelm your

00:36:30.460 --> 00:36:31.339
 heart with love

00:36:31.339 --> 00:36:32.500
 and ecstasy

00:36:32.500 --> 00:36:33.920
 that all your

00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:34.879
 affections turn

00:36:34.879 --> 00:36:36.079
 their gaze toward

00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:36.359
 him.

00:36:37.139 --> 00:36:38.059
 And the

00:36:38.059 --> 00:36:38.519
 direction of

00:36:38.519 --> 00:36:38.859
 your life

00:36:38.859 --> 00:36:39.179
 takes a

00:36:39.179 --> 00:36:39.759
 180 degree

00:36:39.759 --> 00:36:40.460
 turn towards

00:36:40.460 --> 00:36:40.759
 him.

00:36:42.219 --> 00:36:43.000
 Towards him.

00:36:44.239 --> 00:36:45.159
 He saved you

00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:45.739
 for himself.

00:36:45.859 --> 00:36:46.420
 For his glory.

00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:47.139
 We benefit from

00:36:47.139 --> 00:36:47.400
 that.

00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:48.359
 We benefit from

00:36:48.359 --> 00:36:48.619
 that.

00:36:49.139 --> 00:36:49.799
 We get the

00:36:49.799 --> 00:36:50.279
 things I talked

00:36:50.279 --> 00:36:50.420
 about.

00:36:50.460 --> 00:36:50.859
 We get those

00:36:50.859 --> 00:36:51.319
 fruits from

00:36:51.319 --> 00:36:51.579
 heaven.

00:36:52.699 --> 00:36:53.359
 But it was

00:36:53.359 --> 00:36:54.319
 for God

00:36:54.319 --> 00:36:55.039
 that he saved

00:36:55.039 --> 00:36:55.239
 you.

00:36:58.859 --> 00:36:59.619
 God has set

00:36:59.619 --> 00:37:00.319
 me free by

00:37:00.319 --> 00:37:00.960
 breaking the

00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:01.739
 chains of sin.

00:37:01.839 --> 00:37:02.359
 By stripping

00:37:02.359 --> 00:37:03.000
 all the authority

00:37:03.000 --> 00:37:03.539
 that Satan had

00:37:03.539 --> 00:37:03.960
 in my life

00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:04.359
 away.

00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:07.820
 And then

00:37:07.820 --> 00:37:08.240
 he enabled

00:37:08.240 --> 00:37:10.280
 me by a

00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:10.700
 bloodied

00:37:10.700 --> 00:37:11.320
 mangled

00:37:11.320 --> 00:37:13.280
 Christ and

00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:13.700
 by his

00:37:13.700 --> 00:37:14.220
 spirit to

00:37:14.220 --> 00:37:14.539
 live for

00:37:14.539 --> 00:37:14.760
 him.

00:37:16.820 --> 00:37:17.460
 And my

00:37:17.460 --> 00:37:17.860
 joy is

00:37:17.860 --> 00:37:18.180
 found in

00:37:18.180 --> 00:37:18.579
 living for

00:37:18.579 --> 00:37:18.840
 God's

00:37:18.840 --> 00:37:19.099
 glory.

00:37:19.780 --> 00:37:20.079
 You get

00:37:20.079 --> 00:37:20.320
 that?

00:37:20.940 --> 00:37:21.360
 That's

00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:21.780
 incredible.

00:37:22.260 --> 00:37:22.740
 The way that

00:37:22.740 --> 00:37:23.000
 God has

00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:23.519
 ordained things

00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:24.340
 to be is

00:37:24.340 --> 00:37:25.099
 that we get

00:37:25.099 --> 00:37:25.820
 the most

00:37:25.820 --> 00:37:27.079
 satisfaction as

00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:27.980
 human beings

00:37:27.980 --> 00:37:29.079
 living in

00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:29.519
 these still

00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:30.400
 fallen bodies

00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:31.740
 by focusing

00:37:31.740 --> 00:37:32.280
 all of our

00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:32.639
 attention,

00:37:32.820 --> 00:37:33.180
 all of our

00:37:33.180 --> 00:37:33.420
 love,

00:37:33.500 --> 00:37:33.820
 all of our

00:37:33.820 --> 00:37:34.039
 money,

00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:34.400
 all of our

00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:34.920
 affections,

00:37:35.019 --> 00:37:35.380
 all of our

00:37:35.380 --> 00:37:36.780
 life on

00:37:36.780 --> 00:37:37.160
 Christ.

00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:38.840
 When you do

00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:39.099
 that,

00:37:39.200 --> 00:37:39.440
 you will

00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:40.180
 experience what

00:37:40.180 --> 00:37:40.820
 God said

00:37:40.820 --> 00:37:41.440
 or what

00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:42.079
 Jesus said

00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:43.380
 himself as

00:37:43.380 --> 00:37:44.079
 this is the

00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:45.019
 life that

00:37:45.019 --> 00:37:45.440
 is abundant.

00:37:47.300 --> 00:37:48.019
 This is the

00:37:48.019 --> 00:37:48.760
 life that is

00:37:48.760 --> 00:37:49.019
 full.

00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:51.800
 You want that

00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:52.180
 life?

00:37:53.780 --> 00:37:54.460
 Come after

00:37:54.460 --> 00:37:54.700
 me.

00:37:55.940 --> 00:37:56.720
 Be willing to

00:37:56.720 --> 00:37:57.519
 deny yourself.

00:37:57.920 --> 00:37:58.300
 Be willing to

00:37:58.300 --> 00:37:58.720
 take up your

00:37:58.720 --> 00:37:59.260
 cross.

00:37:59.260 --> 00:38:00.420
 every single

00:38:00.420 --> 00:38:00.780
 day.

00:38:01.120 --> 00:38:01.740
 Be willing to

00:38:01.740 --> 00:38:02.580
 follow after

00:38:02.580 --> 00:38:02.860
 me.

00:38:03.720 --> 00:38:04.660
 If it requires

00:38:04.660 --> 00:38:05.320
 your wife,

00:38:05.540 --> 00:38:06.300
 if it requires

00:38:06.300 --> 00:38:06.860
 your husband,

00:38:07.020 --> 00:38:07.600
 if it requires

00:38:07.600 --> 00:38:08.140
 your money,

00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:08.820
 it doesn't

00:38:08.820 --> 00:38:09.860
 matter because

00:38:09.860 --> 00:38:11.020
 Christ is more

00:38:11.020 --> 00:38:11.520
 valuable.

00:38:14.540 --> 00:38:15.300
 And even if

00:38:15.300 --> 00:38:15.840
 they die,

00:38:16.940 --> 00:38:17.480
 they get

00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:18.220
 Jesus anyway.

00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:21.960
 What can

00:38:21.960 --> 00:38:22.520
 mere man do

00:38:22.520 --> 00:38:22.780
 to me,

00:38:22.860 --> 00:38:23.160
 says the

00:38:23.160 --> 00:38:23.520
 psalmist.

00:38:23.980 --> 00:38:24.560
 What can

00:38:24.560 --> 00:38:25.280
 mere man do

00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:25.580
 to me?

00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:27.540
 I love that.

00:38:27.580 --> 00:38:28.040
 It's just so

00:38:28.040 --> 00:38:28.480
 bold.

00:38:28.600 --> 00:38:28.900
 If he's going

00:38:28.900 --> 00:38:29.140
 to boast,

00:38:29.139 --> 00:38:29.359
 he's going

00:38:29.359 --> 00:38:29.559
 to boast

00:38:29.559 --> 00:38:30.119
 in Christ.

00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:32.599
 Listen to

00:38:32.599 --> 00:38:33.279
 Paul's words.

00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:35.679
 But may

00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:36.079
 it never be

00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:36.339
 that I

00:38:36.339 --> 00:38:36.920
 should boast

00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:37.799
 except in

00:38:37.799 --> 00:38:38.239
 the cross

00:38:38.239 --> 00:38:38.500
 of our

00:38:38.500 --> 00:38:38.920
 Lord Jesus

00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:39.480
 Christ,

00:38:39.859 --> 00:38:40.279
 through which

00:38:40.279 --> 00:38:40.879
 the world

00:38:40.879 --> 00:38:41.339
 has been

00:38:41.339 --> 00:38:42.099
 crucified to

00:38:42.099 --> 00:38:42.679
 me and

00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:42.960
 I to

00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:43.359
 the world.

00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:44.839
 I love

00:38:44.839 --> 00:38:45.059
 that.

00:38:46.339 --> 00:38:46.779
 I'm not

00:38:46.779 --> 00:38:46.960
 going to

00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:47.319
 boast in

00:38:47.319 --> 00:38:47.639
 anything.

00:38:47.779 --> 00:38:47.940
 I'm going

00:38:47.940 --> 00:38:48.779
 to reduce

00:38:48.779 --> 00:38:49.319
 all of my

00:38:49.319 --> 00:38:49.819
 conversation

00:38:49.819 --> 00:38:50.239
 with you

00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:50.799
 to Jesus

00:38:50.799 --> 00:38:51.359
 Christ and

00:38:51.359 --> 00:38:51.500
 Him

00:38:51.500 --> 00:38:52.539
 crucified so

00:38:52.539 --> 00:38:52.739
 that He

00:38:52.739 --> 00:38:52.960
 can get

00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:53.359
 the glory

00:38:53.359 --> 00:38:53.779
 and I

00:38:53.779 --> 00:38:53.960
 can get

00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:54.339
 the joy.

00:38:55.779 --> 00:38:56.379
 I want

00:38:56.379 --> 00:38:56.519
 it.

00:38:56.519 --> 00:38:58.360
 I'm

00:38:58.360 --> 00:38:58.579
 not going

00:38:58.579 --> 00:38:58.679
 to let

00:38:58.679 --> 00:38:58.960
 you stand

00:38:58.960 --> 00:38:59.139
 in my

00:38:59.139 --> 00:38:59.259
 way.

00:38:59.320 --> 00:38:59.380
 I'm

00:38:59.380 --> 00:38:59.579
 not going

00:38:59.579 --> 00:38:59.820
 to let

00:38:59.820 --> 00:39:00.579
 peer

00:39:00.579 --> 00:39:00.960
 pressure,

00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:01.940
 social

00:39:01.940 --> 00:39:02.719
 construct

00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:03.320
 stand in

00:39:03.320 --> 00:39:03.679
 my way.

00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:05.300
 I want

00:39:05.300 --> 00:39:05.639
 Jesus.

00:39:06.980 --> 00:39:07.360
 He was

00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:07.840
 resolved.

00:39:09.579 --> 00:39:10.239
 The cost

00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:10.480
 of our

00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:10.920
 ransomed

00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:11.599
 was the

00:39:11.599 --> 00:39:11.980
 blood of

00:39:11.980 --> 00:39:12.300
 God.

00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:15.559
 You are

00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:15.900
 not your

00:39:15.900 --> 00:39:16.179
 own.

00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:17.099
 You are

00:39:17.099 --> 00:39:17.480
 still a

00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:17.840
 slave of

00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:18.159
 someone.

00:39:20.619 --> 00:39:21.259
 But as I

00:39:21.259 --> 00:39:21.699
 said earlier,

00:39:21.800 --> 00:39:22.239
 the freest

00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:22.719
 man is the

00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:23.099
 one who is

00:39:23.099 --> 00:39:23.980
 enslaved to

00:39:23.980 --> 00:39:24.380
 the greatest

00:39:24.380 --> 00:39:24.860
 master.

00:39:24.860 --> 00:39:29.180
 You are

00:39:29.180 --> 00:39:29.760
 a child of

00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:30.160
 God in

00:39:30.160 --> 00:39:30.480
 Christ.

00:39:30.579 --> 00:39:30.780
 You are

00:39:30.780 --> 00:39:31.240
 a friend.

00:39:31.340 --> 00:39:31.539
 You are

00:39:31.539 --> 00:39:32.000
 a bride.

00:39:32.099 --> 00:39:32.320
 You are

00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:32.760
 an heir.

00:39:33.099 --> 00:39:33.420
 But you

00:39:33.420 --> 00:39:33.860
 are also

00:39:33.860 --> 00:39:34.539
 a slave.

00:39:35.900 --> 00:39:36.400
 You are

00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:36.960
 a slave.

00:39:39.380 --> 00:39:40.000
 We must

00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:40.559
 know what

00:39:40.559 --> 00:39:40.920
 the Bible

00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:41.480
 means when

00:39:41.480 --> 00:39:41.860
 it says

00:39:41.860 --> 00:39:42.059
 that we

00:39:42.059 --> 00:39:42.340
 can be

00:39:42.340 --> 00:39:42.660
 free.

00:39:43.640 --> 00:39:44.120
 Because He

00:39:44.120 --> 00:39:44.420
 says,

00:39:44.640 --> 00:39:45.380
 you can

00:39:45.380 --> 00:39:45.840
 be free.

00:39:46.700 --> 00:39:47.160
 He says

00:39:47.160 --> 00:39:47.780
 that I

00:39:47.780 --> 00:39:48.140
 ransomed

00:39:48.140 --> 00:39:48.400
 you that

00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:48.660
 you might

00:39:48.660 --> 00:39:49.079
 be free.

00:39:49.160 --> 00:39:49.320
 It was

00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:49.780
 for freedom

00:39:49.780 --> 00:39:50.039
 that I

00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:50.360
 set you

00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:50.579
 free.

00:39:50.660 --> 00:39:50.980
 Galatians

00:39:50.980 --> 00:39:51.440
 5.1

00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:51.820
 says,

00:39:52.539 --> 00:39:53.059
 you can

00:39:53.059 --> 00:39:53.620
 be free

00:39:53.620 --> 00:39:54.500
 from what?

00:39:54.860 --> 00:39:55.380
 free.

00:39:55.380 --> 00:39:56.340
 For what?

00:39:59.900 --> 00:40:00.680
 Free in

00:40:00.680 --> 00:40:01.380
 Christ means

00:40:01.380 --> 00:40:02.059
 free for

00:40:02.059 --> 00:40:02.539
 Christ.

00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:05.200
 Free to

00:40:05.200 --> 00:40:05.700
 Christ.

00:40:06.820 --> 00:40:07.579
 Free to

00:40:07.579 --> 00:40:08.079
 love Him,

00:40:08.160 --> 00:40:08.680
 to live for

00:40:08.680 --> 00:40:08.880
 Him,

00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:09.320
 to bless

00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:09.860
 His name.

00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:10.940
 Free to

00:40:10.940 --> 00:40:11.500
 claim Him

00:40:11.500 --> 00:40:11.780
 on the

00:40:11.780 --> 00:40:12.440
 last day.

00:40:14.059 --> 00:40:14.539
 Free to

00:40:14.539 --> 00:40:15.000
 sing to

00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:16.480
 Him and

00:40:16.480 --> 00:40:16.920
 to think

00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:17.640
 kindly of

00:40:17.640 --> 00:40:17.860
 Him.

00:40:18.920 --> 00:40:19.500
 Free to

00:40:19.500 --> 00:40:19.860
 worship

00:40:19.860 --> 00:40:20.340
 Him.

00:40:23.059 --> 00:40:23.720
 That's what

00:40:23.720 --> 00:40:24.120
 your freedom

00:40:24.120 --> 00:40:24.620
 is for.

00:40:24.860 --> 00:40:27.340
 not so

00:40:27.340 --> 00:40:27.519
 you can

00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:27.640
 go

00:40:27.640 --> 00:40:28.019
 sin.

00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:30.059
 Not so

00:40:30.059 --> 00:40:30.260
 you can

00:40:30.260 --> 00:40:30.599
 cheapen

00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:30.720
 His

00:40:30.720 --> 00:40:31.200
 grace.

00:40:31.780 --> 00:40:32.039
 Not so

00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:32.260
 you can

00:40:32.260 --> 00:40:32.500
 feel

00:40:32.500 --> 00:40:33.000
 content

00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:33.240
 when

00:40:33.240 --> 00:40:33.340
 you're

00:40:33.340 --> 00:40:33.460
 on

00:40:33.460 --> 00:40:33.599
 your

00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:33.840
 death

00:40:33.840 --> 00:40:34.160
 bed.

00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:39.019
 Free in

00:40:39.019 --> 00:40:39.539
 Christ means

00:40:39.539 --> 00:40:40.099
 free for

00:40:40.099 --> 00:40:40.500
 Christ,

00:40:40.640 --> 00:40:41.039
 free to

00:40:41.039 --> 00:40:41.420
 Christ,

00:40:41.539 --> 00:40:41.840
 free to

00:40:41.840 --> 00:40:42.280
 love Him,

00:40:42.340 --> 00:40:42.680
 to live

00:40:42.680 --> 00:40:42.940
 for Him,

00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:43.320
 to bless

00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:43.740
 His name,

00:40:44.019 --> 00:40:44.500
 to claim

00:40:44.500 --> 00:40:44.700
 Him on

00:40:44.700 --> 00:40:45.079
 the last

00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:45.280
 day,

00:40:45.380 --> 00:40:45.720
 free to

00:40:45.720 --> 00:40:46.140
 sing to

00:40:46.140 --> 00:40:46.380
 Him,

00:40:46.980 --> 00:40:47.920
 to think

00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:48.559
 kindly of

00:40:48.559 --> 00:40:48.780
 Him,

00:40:49.160 --> 00:40:49.840
 to worship

00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:50.200
 Him.

00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:51.700
 You've been

00:40:51.700 --> 00:40:52.180
 set free for

00:40:52.180 --> 00:40:52.720
 that purpose.

00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:54.779
 these are

00:40:54.779 --> 00:40:55.139
 glorious

00:40:55.139 --> 00:40:55.599
 thoughts.

00:40:58.000 --> 00:40:58.959
 My last

00:40:58.959 --> 00:40:59.299
 point,

00:40:59.639 --> 00:40:59.899
 number

00:40:59.899 --> 00:41:00.299
 three,

00:41:02.139 --> 00:41:02.500
 I

00:41:02.500 --> 00:41:03.259
 enslaved

00:41:03.259 --> 00:41:03.579
 me.

00:41:04.879 --> 00:41:05.519
 I

00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:05.980
 enslaved

00:41:05.980 --> 00:41:06.279
 me.

00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:07.639
 It's a

00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:08.000
 strange way

00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:08.319
 of saying

00:41:08.319 --> 00:41:08.579
 that,

00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:08.839
 but

00:41:08.839 --> 00:41:10.699
 grammatically

00:41:10.699 --> 00:41:11.059
 incorrect,

00:41:11.559 --> 00:41:12.759
 but I

00:41:12.759 --> 00:41:13.199
 enslaved

00:41:13.199 --> 00:41:13.480
 me.

00:41:14.739 --> 00:41:15.099
 Turn to

00:41:15.099 --> 00:41:15.960
 Romans 6.18.

00:41:35.439 --> 00:41:35.960
 And

00:41:35.960 --> 00:41:36.399
 having been

00:41:36.399 --> 00:41:36.980
 freed from

00:41:36.980 --> 00:41:37.359
 sin,

00:41:38.439 --> 00:41:39.239
 you became

00:41:39.239 --> 00:41:39.819
 slaves of

00:41:39.819 --> 00:41:40.199
 righteousness.

00:41:40.699 --> 00:41:43.279
 having been

00:41:43.279 --> 00:41:43.739
 freed from

00:41:43.739 --> 00:41:44.099
 sin,

00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:45.699
 you became

00:41:45.699 --> 00:41:46.199
 slaves of

00:41:46.199 --> 00:41:46.579
 righteousness.

00:41:51.359 --> 00:41:51.919
 I want to

00:41:51.919 --> 00:41:52.299
 end with a

00:41:52.299 --> 00:41:52.599
 story.

00:41:55.139 --> 00:41:55.659
 This was

00:41:55.659 --> 00:41:56.099
 related to

00:41:56.099 --> 00:41:56.819
 me this

00:41:56.819 --> 00:41:57.219
 week as I

00:41:57.219 --> 00:41:57.659
 was studying.

00:42:00.439 --> 00:42:01.000
 I could

00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:01.259
 read it,

00:42:01.279 --> 00:42:01.539
 but I think

00:42:01.539 --> 00:42:01.679
 it would be

00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:02.119
 more effective

00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:02.759
 if I just

00:42:02.759 --> 00:42:03.359
 said it,

00:42:03.899 --> 00:42:04.319
 so I may

00:42:04.319 --> 00:42:04.679
 leave something

00:42:04.679 --> 00:42:04.899
 out.

00:42:06.839 --> 00:42:07.339
 Back in

00:42:07.339 --> 00:42:07.879
 the 1800s,

00:42:07.939 --> 00:42:08.119
 there was

00:42:08.119 --> 00:42:08.859
 an Englishman

00:42:08.859 --> 00:42:09.839
 who came

00:42:09.839 --> 00:42:10.419
 across the

00:42:10.420 --> 00:42:12.340
 seas to

00:42:12.340 --> 00:42:14.480
 California,

00:42:14.920 --> 00:42:15.559
 and he

00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:16.539
 made a

00:42:16.539 --> 00:42:17.200
 fortune in

00:42:17.200 --> 00:42:17.519
 the gold

00:42:17.519 --> 00:42:17.880
 fields.

00:42:20.039 --> 00:42:20.480
 And he

00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:20.700
 wanted to

00:42:20.700 --> 00:42:21.039
 go back to

00:42:21.039 --> 00:42:21.220
 live with

00:42:21.220 --> 00:42:21.440
 his own

00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:21.820
 people.

00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:23.360
 And so he

00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:23.619
 sent his

00:42:23.619 --> 00:42:24.000
 money back

00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:24.340
 to England

00:42:24.340 --> 00:42:24.920
 by check,

00:42:24.960 --> 00:42:25.240
 and then he

00:42:25.240 --> 00:42:25.800
 started his

00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:27.480
 train ride

00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:30.539
 down through

00:42:30.539 --> 00:42:30.960
 Kansas,

00:42:31.220 --> 00:42:31.579
 down through

00:42:31.579 --> 00:42:31.960
 Missouri,

00:42:32.139 --> 00:42:32.720
 down into

00:42:32.720 --> 00:42:33.180
 Mississippi,

00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:33.460
 and then

00:42:33.460 --> 00:42:33.800
 ended up in

00:42:33.800 --> 00:42:34.240
 New Orleans.

00:42:35.519 --> 00:42:35.760
 Okay?

00:42:36.500 --> 00:42:37.079
 During this

00:42:37.079 --> 00:42:37.480
 time,

00:42:38.200 --> 00:42:38.940
 slavery was

00:42:38.940 --> 00:42:39.300
 still very

00:42:39.300 --> 00:42:39.639
 prevalent.

00:42:41.300 --> 00:42:41.659
 And so

00:42:41.659 --> 00:42:42.179
 slaves were

00:42:42.179 --> 00:42:42.700
 being sold

00:42:42.700 --> 00:42:44.019
 at these

00:42:44.019 --> 00:42:44.559
 blocks,

00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:46.360
 put up for

00:42:46.360 --> 00:42:46.659
 sale,

00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:47.200
 basically.

00:42:49.019 --> 00:42:49.800
 And then

00:42:49.800 --> 00:42:50.119
 from New

00:42:50.119 --> 00:42:50.340
 Orleans,

00:42:50.440 --> 00:42:50.900
 this Englishman

00:42:50.900 --> 00:42:51.240
 was going to

00:42:51.240 --> 00:42:51.760
 ship to New

00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:52.079
 York and

00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:52.300
 then to

00:42:52.300 --> 00:42:52.500
 England.

00:42:55.059 --> 00:42:55.420
 So,

00:42:55.619 --> 00:42:56.320
 as most

00:42:56.320 --> 00:42:56.800
 tourists do

00:42:56.800 --> 00:42:57.119
 when they go

00:42:57.119 --> 00:42:57.380
 to New

00:42:57.380 --> 00:42:57.880
 Orleans during

00:42:57.880 --> 00:42:58.440
 this time,

00:42:58.599 --> 00:42:58.920
 they went

00:42:58.920 --> 00:42:59.179
 down to

00:42:59.179 --> 00:42:59.539
 the slave

00:42:59.539 --> 00:42:59.940
 market,

00:43:01.220 --> 00:43:02.980
 and when

00:43:02.980 --> 00:43:03.159
 he went

00:43:03.159 --> 00:43:03.360
 to the

00:43:03.360 --> 00:43:03.539
 market,

00:43:03.639 --> 00:43:03.980
 he saw a

00:43:03.980 --> 00:43:04.240
 lot of

00:43:04.240 --> 00:43:04.579
 men there

00:43:04.579 --> 00:43:04.900
 gathered

00:43:04.900 --> 00:43:05.380
 around,

00:43:05.380 --> 00:43:06.960
 and there

00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:07.200
 was this

00:43:07.200 --> 00:43:07.800
 one young

00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:09.320
 girl that

00:43:09.320 --> 00:43:09.860
 was up on

00:43:09.860 --> 00:43:10.340
 the block.

00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:11.119
 She was

00:43:11.119 --> 00:43:11.740
 being sold.

00:43:12.220 --> 00:43:12.559
 There was a

00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:12.920
 lot of heated

00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:14.340
 discussion and

00:43:14.340 --> 00:43:14.960
 fighting going

00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:15.360
 on amongst

00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:15.900
 these men,

00:43:16.640 --> 00:43:17.619
 these two

00:43:17.619 --> 00:43:18.160
 evil men in

00:43:18.160 --> 00:43:18.579
 particular,

00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:20.000
 that were bidding

00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:20.660
 for her quite

00:43:20.660 --> 00:43:21.160
 heatedly.

00:43:23.140 --> 00:43:23.900
 And then he

00:43:23.900 --> 00:43:25.240
 heard what

00:43:25.240 --> 00:43:25.800
 they said they

00:43:25.800 --> 00:43:26.180
 would do to

00:43:26.180 --> 00:43:28.260
 her if they

00:43:28.260 --> 00:43:29.500
 bought her.

00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:31.460
 And his

00:43:31.460 --> 00:43:31.920
 heart just

00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:32.700
 revolted against

00:43:32.700 --> 00:43:33.380
 the whole

00:43:33.380 --> 00:43:34.720
 swinish evil

00:43:34.720 --> 00:43:35.180
 thing.

00:43:35.380 --> 00:43:37.960
 And finally,

00:43:38.200 --> 00:43:38.700
 as the bidding

00:43:38.700 --> 00:43:39.680
 prices rose higher

00:43:39.680 --> 00:43:40.260
 and higher and

00:43:40.260 --> 00:43:40.640
 higher and

00:43:40.640 --> 00:43:40.900
 higher,

00:43:41.860 --> 00:43:42.220
 he went to

00:43:42.220 --> 00:43:42.700
 the auctioneer

00:43:42.700 --> 00:43:42.880
 and he

00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:43.160
 said,

00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:44.740
 I will put

00:43:44.740 --> 00:43:45.160
 up a bid

00:43:45.160 --> 00:43:45.800
 for twice

00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:46.320
 the amount

00:43:46.320 --> 00:43:47.000
 of the

00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:47.519
 last bid.

00:43:49.079 --> 00:43:49.579
 He said,

00:43:49.599 --> 00:43:49.860
 you got the

00:43:49.860 --> 00:43:50.019
 money?

00:43:50.119 --> 00:43:50.260
 He said,

00:43:50.280 --> 00:43:50.579
 I got the

00:43:50.579 --> 00:43:50.760
 money.

00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:52.920
 So,

00:43:53.260 --> 00:43:53.880
 sure enough,

00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:54.920
 he purchased

00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:55.539
 the slave,

00:43:56.200 --> 00:43:56.940
 got the bill

00:43:56.940 --> 00:43:57.320
 of sale,

00:43:57.420 --> 00:43:57.920
 wrote everything,

00:43:58.039 --> 00:43:58.240
 signed

00:43:58.240 --> 00:43:58.700
 everything,

00:43:59.619 --> 00:44:00.140
 went back to

00:44:00.140 --> 00:44:00.660
 the block to

00:44:00.660 --> 00:44:01.119
 take the woman

00:44:01.119 --> 00:44:01.420
 that he had

00:44:01.420 --> 00:44:01.720
 purchased.

00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:03.460
 And as she

00:44:03.460 --> 00:44:04.200
 came down one

00:44:04.200 --> 00:44:04.599
 step,

00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:05.759
 she was

00:44:05.759 --> 00:44:06.179
 about eye

00:44:06.179 --> 00:44:06.579
 level with

00:44:06.579 --> 00:44:06.699
 them,

00:44:06.799 --> 00:44:08.259
 she formed

00:44:08.259 --> 00:44:08.500
 in her

00:44:08.500 --> 00:44:09.819
 mouth a

00:44:09.819 --> 00:44:10.119
 bunch of

00:44:10.119 --> 00:44:10.440
 spit.

00:44:11.719 --> 00:44:12.039
 And when

00:44:12.039 --> 00:44:12.500
 she saw

00:44:12.500 --> 00:44:12.639
 him,

00:44:13.619 --> 00:44:14.259
 she spat

00:44:14.259 --> 00:44:14.559
 right in

00:44:14.559 --> 00:44:14.960
 his face

00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:15.199
 and she

00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:15.360
 said,

00:44:15.420 --> 00:44:15.739
 I hate

00:44:15.739 --> 00:44:15.920
 you.

00:44:16.920 --> 00:44:17.380
 I hate

00:44:17.380 --> 00:44:17.599
 you.

00:44:19.259 --> 00:44:19.759
 He didn't

00:44:19.759 --> 00:44:20.339
 say a word,

00:44:20.799 --> 00:44:21.400
 just took the

00:44:21.400 --> 00:44:21.920
 back of his hand

00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:22.400
 and wiped it

00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:22.699
 off,

00:44:23.219 --> 00:44:23.679
 took her by the

00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:24.039
 hand and

00:44:24.039 --> 00:44:25.799
 led her back

00:44:25.799 --> 00:44:26.139
 kind of into

00:44:26.139 --> 00:44:26.539
 the street.

00:44:30.259 --> 00:44:30.799
 He walked

00:44:30.799 --> 00:44:31.400
 down the street,

00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:31.900
 crossed the

00:44:31.900 --> 00:44:32.319
 intersection,

00:44:32.539 --> 00:44:32.799
 through the

00:44:32.799 --> 00:44:33.059

00:44:33.059 --> 00:44:34.219
 down another

00:44:34.219 --> 00:44:34.659
 street,

00:44:35.119 --> 00:44:35.599
 until he

00:44:35.599 --> 00:44:36.039
 came to a

00:44:36.039 --> 00:44:36.440
 little office

00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:36.739
 building.

00:44:37.940 --> 00:44:38.519
 She couldn't

00:44:38.519 --> 00:44:38.779
 read,

00:44:38.840 --> 00:44:39.099
 she didn't

00:44:39.099 --> 00:44:40.019
 know what

00:44:40.019 --> 00:44:40.420

00:44:41.380 --> 00:44:41.759

00:44:42.940 --> 00:44:43.219
 He went

00:44:43.219 --> 00:44:43.460
 to the

00:44:43.460 --> 00:44:43.739

00:44:43.799 --> 00:44:44.039
 he began

00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:44.299
 to speak

00:44:44.299 --> 00:44:44.579
 to the

00:44:44.579 --> 00:44:44.900

00:44:45.759 --> 00:44:46.860
 he began

00:44:46.860 --> 00:44:47.480

00:44:51.179 --> 00:44:51.539
 Finally,

00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:52.259
 the clerk

00:44:52.259 --> 00:44:52.719
 relented,

 He then

00:45:02.460 --> 00:45:02.799
 walked over

00:45:02.799 --> 00:45:03.000

00:45:03.900 --> 00:45:04.460
 who was

00:45:04.460 --> 00:45:04.779
 like a

00:45:12.279 --> 00:45:12.699

 I hate

00:45:43.199 --> 00:45:44.219
 you just

00:45:44.219 --> 00:45:44.799
 spent twice

00:45:44.799 --> 00:45:45.179
 as much

00:45:45.179 --> 00:45:45.679
 as anybody

00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:46.079
 had ever

00:45:46.079 --> 00:45:46.679
 spent

00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:47.619
 before

00:45:47.619 --> 00:45:49.019
 at that

00:45:49.019 --> 00:45:49.319
 block,

00:45:49.400 --> 00:45:49.579
 and you

00:45:49.579 --> 00:45:50.219
 bought me

00:45:50.219 --> 00:45:52.579
 to set

00:45:52.579 --> 00:45:53.019
 me free.

00:45:54.319 --> 00:45:54.840
 He said,

00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:55.059
 yes,

00:45:55.099 --> 00:45:55.319
 that's why

00:45:55.319 --> 00:45:55.579
 I bought

00:45:55.579 --> 00:45:55.679
 you,

00:45:55.759 --> 00:45:55.940
 to set

00:45:55.940 --> 00:45:56.039
 you,

00:45:56.099 --> 00:45:56.400
 he said,

00:45:56.460 --> 00:45:56.639
 yes,

00:45:56.659 --> 00:45:56.900
 that's why

00:45:56.900 --> 00:45:57.179
 I bought

00:45:57.179 --> 00:45:57.340
 you,

00:45:57.500 --> 00:45:57.900

00:45:57.900 --> 00:45:58.299

00:45:59.500 --> 00:45:59.880
 Tears

00:45:59.880 --> 00:46:00.179
 came up

00:46:00.179 --> 00:46:00.500
 into her

00:46:00.500 --> 00:46:00.900
 eyes,

00:46:00.900 --> 00:46:01.059
 that

00:46:01.059 --> 00:46:01.300
 hadn't

00:46:01.300 --> 00:46:01.559
 known

00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:01.900
 tears

00:46:01.900 --> 00:46:02.160
 in a

00:46:02.160 --> 00:46:02.420
 long

00:46:02.420 --> 00:46:02.780
 time.

00:46:04.059 --> 00:46:04.460
 She

00:46:04.460 --> 00:46:04.800
 got down

00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:04.980
 on her

00:46:04.980 --> 00:46:05.260
 hands

00:46:05.260 --> 00:46:05.480
 and her

00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:05.920
 knees,

00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:07.680
 she

00:46:07.680 --> 00:46:08.000
 grabbed

00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:08.180
 his

00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:09.280

00:46:10.380 --> 00:46:10.559
 she

00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:10.860
 put her

00:46:10.860 --> 00:46:11.079

00:46:11.079 --> 00:46:11.340

00:46:11.340 --> 00:46:11.519

00:46:11.519 --> 00:46:11.660
 the

00:46:11.660 --> 00:46:11.840

00:46:11.840 --> 00:46:11.960
 of

00:46:11.960 --> 00:46:12.059

00:46:12.059 --> 00:46:12.119

00:46:12.220 --> 00:46:12.500

00:46:13.500 --> 00:46:14.519
 and she

00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:14.960
 began to

00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:15.200
 say to

00:46:15.200 --> 00:46:15.320
 him

00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:15.500
 through

00:46:15.500 --> 00:46:15.660
 the

00:46:15.660 --> 00:46:16.240
 sobbing

00:46:16.240 --> 00:46:16.740
 tears,

00:46:19.579 --> 00:46:19.980
 oh,

00:46:20.460 --> 00:46:21.599
 you

 You

00:46:26.440 --> 00:46:26.539
 You

00:46:26.539 --> 00:46:26.740

00:46:26.740 --> 00:46:26.880
 more

00:46:26.880 --> 00:46:26.980

 but

00:46:28.160 --> 00:46:28.440
 just

00:46:28.440 --> 00:46:29.079

00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:32.799
 And

00:46:32.799 --> 00:46:33.000

 she

00:46:35.699 --> 00:46:36.119

00:46:44.359 --> 00:46:44.900
 You

00:46:50.500 --> 00:46:51.019
 Friends,

00:46:51.839 --> 00:46:52.139
 the Lord

00:46:52.139 --> 00:46:52.379
 Jesus

00:46:52.379 --> 00:46:52.879
 Christ

00:46:52.879 --> 00:46:53.199

00:46:55.519 --> 00:46:55.699
 He

00:46:55.699 --> 00:46:55.799
 didn't

00:46:55.799 --> 00:46:55.980

00:46:57.420 --> 00:46:57.599

00:46:58.119 --> 00:46:58.440

00:46:59.480 --> 00:46:59.960
 He

00:46:59.960 --> 00:47:00.199
 paid

00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:00.899
 eternities

00:47:00.899 --> 00:47:03.980

00:47:03.980 --> 00:47:04.219
 you.

00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:06.439
 And

00:47:06.439 --> 00:47:06.619
 when you

00:47:06.619 --> 00:47:07.039
 understand

00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:07.419
 that,

00:47:08.319 --> 00:47:08.980

00:47:09.500 --> 00:47:09.980
 that,

00:47:11.960 --> 00:47:12.460

00:47:12.460 --> 00:47:12.839

 lasting

00:48:49.259 --> 00:48:50.539
 in our

 self-centered,

00:48:56.240 --> 00:48:56.360
 don't

00:48:56.360 --> 00:48:56.740

00:48:57.220 --> 00:48:58.120
 greedy

00:48:58.120 --> 00:48:59.340
 and selfish.

00:49:00.980 --> 00:49:01.519
 Give

00:49:06.380 --> 00:49:06.500
 what

00:49:06.500 --> 00:49:06.780
 you've

00:49:06.780 --> 00:49:07.019
 done

00:49:07.019 --> 00:49:07.280
 for

00:49:07.280 --> 00:49:07.640
 us.

00:49:09.019 --> 00:49:09.560
 Father,

00:49:09.640 --> 00:49:09.860
 every

00:49:09.860 --> 00:49:10.140
 morning,

00:49:10.240 --> 00:49:10.440
 every

00:49:10.440 --> 00:49:10.720
 noon,

00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:11.080
 every

00:49:11.080 --> 00:49:11.360
 night,

00:49:11.440 --> 00:49:11.900
 we need

00:49:11.900 --> 00:49:12.060
 you,

00:49:12.160 --> 00:49:12.420
 Jesus.

00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:13.080
 And

00:49:13.080 --> 00:49:13.360
 apart

00:49:13.360 --> 00:49:13.580
 from

00:49:13.580 --> 00:49:13.720
 your

00:49:13.720 --> 00:49:14.160
 grace,

00:49:14.780 --> 00:49:15.560
 we

00:49:15.560 --> 00:49:15.720
 would

00:49:15.720 --> 00:49:16.060
 die

00:49:16.060 --> 00:49:16.280
 in

00:49:16.280 --> 00:49:16.460
 our

00:49:16.460 --> 00:49:16.720
 sins.

00:49:16.800 --> 00:49:16.860
 We

00:49:16.860 --> 00:49:16.980
 would

00:49:16.980 --> 00:49:17.180
 be

00:49:17.180 --> 00:49:17.840
 cast

00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:18.080
 into

00:49:18.080 --> 00:49:18.500
 eternal

00:49:18.500 --> 00:49:18.860
 hell

00:49:18.860 --> 00:49:20.280
 justifiably.

00:49:21.780 --> 00:49:22.320
 But

00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:22.660
 God,

00:49:22.659 --> 00:49:23.179
 even if

00:49:23.179 --> 00:49:23.559
 we

00:49:23.559 --> 00:49:26.399
 were never

00:49:26.399 --> 00:49:26.940
 even to

00:49:26.940 --> 00:49:27.420
 get heaven,

00:49:28.279 --> 00:49:28.659
 I pray

00:49:28.659 --> 00:49:28.859
 that we

00:49:28.859 --> 00:49:29.139
 would have

00:49:29.139 --> 00:49:29.819
 such

00:49:29.819 --> 00:49:32.319
 loving

00:49:32.319 --> 00:49:33.019
 hearts for

00:49:33.019 --> 00:49:33.539
 Christ that

00:49:33.539 --> 00:49:33.739
 we would

00:49:33.739 --> 00:49:34.259
 serve you

00:49:34.259 --> 00:49:34.639
 anyway.

00:49:35.699 --> 00:49:36.239
 We would

00:49:36.239 --> 00:49:36.659
 love you

00:49:36.659 --> 00:49:36.879
 anyway.

00:49:36.940 --> 00:49:37.119
 You're

00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:37.500
 worthy of

00:49:37.500 --> 00:49:37.719
 all of

00:49:37.719 --> 00:49:37.839
 our

00:49:37.839 --> 00:49:38.159
 worship.

00:49:39.759 --> 00:49:39.980
 And

00:49:39.980 --> 00:49:40.219
 may we

00:49:40.219 --> 00:49:40.739
 keep no

00:49:40.739 --> 00:49:41.319
 sins for

00:49:41.319 --> 00:49:41.879
 ourself.

00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:43.599
 May we

00:49:43.599 --> 00:49:44.579
 release all

00:49:44.579 --> 00:49:44.859
 of them

00:49:44.859 --> 00:49:45.279
 to you.

00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:47.159
 May we

00:49:47.159 --> 00:49:47.559
 completely

00:49:47.559 --> 00:49:48.199
 cast all

00:49:48.199 --> 00:49:48.440
 of our

00:49:48.440 --> 00:49:48.940
 cares on

00:49:48.940 --> 00:49:49.079
 you,

00:49:49.179 --> 00:49:49.539
 all of our

00:49:49.539 --> 00:49:50.019
 hopes on

00:49:50.019 --> 00:49:50.219
 you,

00:49:50.219 --> 00:49:50.879
 all of

00:49:50.879 --> 00:49:51.019
 our

00:49:51.019 --> 00:49:51.599
 dreams on

00:49:51.599 --> 00:49:51.739
 you.

00:49:51.819 --> 00:49:52.139
 May our

00:49:52.139 --> 00:49:52.659
 joy be

00:49:52.659 --> 00:49:53.619
 only in

00:49:53.619 --> 00:49:53.799
 you,

00:49:53.879 --> 00:49:54.179
 God.

00:49:55.119 --> 00:49:55.639
 Thank you

00:49:55.639 --> 00:49:55.819
 for

00:49:55.819 --> 00:49:56.179

00:49:56.419 --> 00:49:56.719
 Thank you

00:49:56.719 --> 00:49:57.619

00:49:57.619 --> 00:49:58.099
 to study,

00:49:58.199 --> 00:49:58.659
 to prepare,

00:49:58.819 --> 00:49:59.559
 to preach.

00:49:59.699 --> 00:50:00.019
 Thank you

00:50:00.019 --> 00:50:03.619
 for our

00:50:03.619 --> 00:50:04.119
 manumission

00:50:04.119 --> 00:50:04.679
 papers.

00:50:07.379 --> 00:50:07.799
 God,

00:50:07.879 --> 00:50:08.339
 please have

00:50:08.339 --> 00:50:08.819
 mercy on

00:50:08.819 --> 00:50:09.019
 us.

00:50:09.079 --> 00:50:09.299
 We are

00:50:09.299 --> 00:50:10.759
 so small.

00:50:12.379 --> 00:50:12.899
 We are

00:50:12.899 --> 00:50:13.539
 so foolish.

00:50:15.139 --> 00:50:15.579
 God,

00:50:15.619 --> 00:50:16.039
 give us a

00:50:16.039 --> 00:50:16.939
 love for

00:50:16.939 --> 00:50:18.459
 Christ that

00:50:18.459 --> 00:50:19.039
 endures.

00:50:20.219 --> 00:50:20.959
 even if

00:50:20.959 --> 00:50:21.599
 coals were

00:50:21.599 --> 00:50:22.299
 gouged into

00:50:22.299 --> 00:50:23.079
 our eyes,

00:50:24.199 --> 00:50:24.519
 we were

00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:25.459
 crucified next

00:50:25.459 --> 00:50:25.759
 to our

00:50:25.759 --> 00:50:26.500
 two-week-old

00:50:26.500 --> 00:50:26.919
 bride.

00:50:28.359 --> 00:50:28.699
 God,

00:50:28.759 --> 00:50:29.159
 I pray that

00:50:29.159 --> 00:50:29.439
 we would

00:50:29.439 --> 00:50:29.839
 love you

00:50:29.839 --> 00:50:30.279
 nonetheless,

00:50:30.419 --> 00:50:30.659
 we would

00:50:30.659 --> 00:50:31.079
 serve you,

00:50:31.219 --> 00:50:31.559
 we would

00:50:31.559 --> 00:50:31.899
 say,

00:50:33.019 --> 00:50:34.019
 the lamb

00:50:34.019 --> 00:50:34.339
 that was

00:50:34.339 --> 00:50:35.099
 slain is

00:50:35.099 --> 00:50:35.619
 worthy

00:50:35.619 --> 00:50:38.899
 of his

00:50:38.899 --> 00:50:39.339
 reward.

00:50:43.339 --> 00:50:43.739
 God,

00:50:43.799 --> 00:50:44.059
 I love

00:50:44.059 --> 00:50:44.379
 you so

00:50:44.379 --> 00:50:44.739
 much.

00:50:46.919 --> 00:50:47.319
 In

00:50:47.319 --> 00:50:47.559
 your name

00:50:47.559 --> 00:50:47.919
 I pray.

00:50:48.039 --> 00:50:48.159
 Amen.

00:50:50.659 --> 00:50:50.659


00:50:50.659 --> 00:50:50.659


00:50:50.659 --> 00:50:50.659


00:50:50.659 --> 00:50:50.659


00:50:50.659 --> 00:50:50.659


00:50:50.659 --> 00:50:50.659


00:50:50.659 --> 00:50:50.659


00:50:50.659 --> 00:50:50.659


00:50:50.659 --> 00:50:50.659


00:50:50.659 --> 00:50:50.659


00:50:50.659 --> 00:50:50.659


00:50:50.659 --> 00:50:50.659
