00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.040
 If you have a Bible, please turn with me to Mark chapter 3.

00:00:03.660 --> 00:00:07.339
 If you don't have one, you can put your hand up and we'll have someone give you a Bible.

00:00:08.700 --> 00:00:15.400
 Today I'll be preaching in English, so if you want to make sure you know what I say,

00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:18.900
 we actually have an English transcript so they can read along as well,

00:00:18.980 --> 00:00:20.980
 just in case my accent's too strong for you.

00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:26.839
 And if you need Chinese translation, we also have that prepared for you as well.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.420
 We have been looking into the Gospel according to Mark in the last few weeks,

00:00:35.740 --> 00:00:40.299
 which is the good news about Jesus, the Messiah, the Son of God.

00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:47.240
 Messiah is referring to the person expected by the Jews to come and set them free.

00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:52.140
 The Jews were told about the Messiah when they go to the temple,

00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.400
 and they hear it from the teachers of the law.

00:00:55.700 --> 00:00:58.320
 This is a very important point of today's sermon.

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:02.240
 We have only looked at two chapters of Mark,

00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:05.780
 and already we can see a lot of events have happened,

00:01:06.219 --> 00:01:09.640
 and people were amazed at what Jesus has said and done.

00:01:10.900 --> 00:01:12.760
 As today's passage points out,

00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:16.780
 Jesus was drawing a large crowd of people wherever he goes.

00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:18.799
 In verse 7 to 8 it says,

00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:33.179
 As Jesus' popularity grew,

00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:37.939
 we can also see that sentiment of resentment and opposition

00:01:37.939 --> 00:01:40.579
 is growing among a group of people.

00:01:41.259 --> 00:01:42.659
 They were the teachers of law,

00:01:43.219 --> 00:01:44.500
 the religious heathies.

00:01:44.500 --> 00:01:51.379
 Their resentment most likely started back from Mark 1.22,

00:01:52.019 --> 00:01:54.640
 because people were comparing them with Jesus.

00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.379
 The people were amazed at his teaching,

00:01:58.700 --> 00:02:01.799
 because he taught them as one who had authority,

00:02:02.420 --> 00:02:04.480
 not as the teachers of the law.

00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:10.759
 What Jesus said and done has a direct impact to the teachers of the law,

00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:17.099
 because his arrival will fill their spiritual condition in their heart.

00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:22.180
 Jesus is pointing out something that is different to what they have been teaching.

00:02:22.180 --> 00:02:28.180
 Jesus wants everyone to go deeper to understand their spiritual needs,

00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:30.240
 because in Matthew it says,

00:02:30.819 --> 00:02:32.460
 Blessed are the poor in spirit,

00:02:33.020 --> 00:02:34.960
 for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

00:02:36.219 --> 00:02:40.960
 Today, let's go deeper to find out who belongs to the kingdom of heaven,

00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:43.700
 who belongs to this new community of the king.

00:02:43.699 --> 00:02:46.919
 At the beginning of chapter 2,

00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.899
 Jesus was setting up a showdown with the religious heathies.

00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:53.419
 Steve was reminding us that last week.

00:02:54.859 --> 00:02:56.359
 This showdown is necessary

00:02:56.359 --> 00:02:58.439
 because the teachers of the law

00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.319
 were the link between God and his people.

00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:05.139
 We can even say that they present themselves

00:03:05.139 --> 00:03:07.439
 as an earthly representation of God

00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.719
 before Jesus came into the scene.

00:03:11.219 --> 00:03:13.219
 From the showdown between Jesus,

00:03:13.219 --> 00:03:16.020
 we can see that they are misrepresenting

00:03:16.020 --> 00:03:17.879
 and giving out wrong information

00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.360
 about who belongs to the kingdom of heaven.

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.879
 They were busy concerning about things

00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.000
 that weren't that most important.

00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:31.099
 When they challenged Jesus about blaspheming,

00:03:31.620 --> 00:03:33.340
 showing that they're concerned about

00:03:33.340 --> 00:03:36.460
 whether one is saying the right thing at the right time.

00:03:37.020 --> 00:03:39.579
 When they challenged Jesus about fasting,

00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:42.719
 showing that they're concerned whether tradition and ritual

00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:43.759
 have been followed.

00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:48.560
 When they challenged Jesus about his disciples picking grain,

00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.560
 so that they would suppress basic human needs

00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.819
 to ensure law has not been broken.

00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.900
 Their interpretation of what the law said

00:03:59.900 --> 00:04:01.639
 was far from accurate,

00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.859
 because when the teachers of the law promoting,

00:04:04.859 --> 00:04:07.179
 what the teachers of the law promoting

00:04:07.179 --> 00:04:09.299
 is you belong to the kingdom of God

00:04:09.299 --> 00:04:11.759
 based on how well you follow the law,

00:04:12.179 --> 00:04:13.539
 how religious you are,

00:04:13.979 --> 00:04:17.079
 as if you can get into heaven by your own efforts.

00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.219
 What they're promoting is

00:04:21.219 --> 00:04:23.519
 if you look right from the outside,

00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:25.159
 you'll be right with God.

00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.120
 All of their concerns are superficial.

00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.900
 Mark, we call it in chapter 12, 38,

00:04:34.460 --> 00:04:34.760
 it says,

00:04:35.080 --> 00:04:35.960
 as he taught,

00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:36.660
 Jesus said,

00:04:37.080 --> 00:04:39.260
 watch out for the teachers of the law.

00:04:40.200 --> 00:04:43.080
 They like to walk around in floating robes

00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:46.599
 and be greeted with respect in the marketplace

00:04:46.599 --> 00:04:49.800
 and have the most important seat in the synagogue

00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:52.500
 and place of honor at banquet.

00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.699
 If you read how Matthew recorded

00:04:56.699 --> 00:04:58.399
 about the teachers of the law,

00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.000
 you would think that Mark had been very kind to them.

00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:03.680
 In Matthew 3,

00:05:04.039 --> 00:05:06.860
 while talking about John the Baptist in verse 7,

00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:07.620
 it said,

00:05:07.620 --> 00:05:36.860
 They think that they belong to the kingdom of God

00:05:36.860 --> 00:05:39.259
 because they are in the right bloodline.

00:05:40.020 --> 00:05:41.920
 They have Abraham as their ancestor.

00:05:43.780 --> 00:05:48.120
 Jesus had this to say to them in Matthew 23,

00:05:48.699 --> 00:05:49.699
 starting in verse 2,

00:05:50.540 --> 00:05:52.920
 The teachers of the law and Pharisee

00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:54.600
 sit in Moses' seat,

00:05:55.280 --> 00:05:58.480
 so you must be careful to do everything they tell you,

00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.139
 but do not do what they do,

00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:03.960
 for they do not practice what they preach.

00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.219
 They tied up heavy,

00:06:06.659 --> 00:06:07.479
 cumbersome loads

00:06:07.479 --> 00:06:09.299
 and put them on others' shoulders,

00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:11.500
 but they themselves are not willing

00:06:11.500 --> 00:06:13.599
 to lift a finger to move them.

00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:17.039
 Jesus' fall in verse 13,

00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:18.459
 lay out some roles.

00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:19.759
 Woe to you,

00:06:19.899 --> 00:06:21.819
 teachers of the law and Pharisee,

00:06:22.259 --> 00:06:23.240
 you hypocrites!

00:06:23.939 --> 00:06:25.939
 You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven

00:06:25.939 --> 00:06:27.240
 in people's face.

00:06:27.659 --> 00:06:29.199
 You yourself do not enter,

00:06:29.740 --> 00:06:30.959
 nor will you let those enter

00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:32.919
 who are trying to.

00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:34.779
 On the outside,

00:06:34.899 --> 00:06:37.180
 you are pleased to people as righteous,

00:06:37.659 --> 00:06:38.419
 but on the inside,

00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.139
 you are full of hypocrites and wickedness.

00:06:42.159 --> 00:06:43.539
 Jesus said clearly that

00:06:43.539 --> 00:06:45.599
 because they do not practice what they teach,

00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.919
 appear to be righteous only on the outside,

00:06:49.479 --> 00:06:51.399
 they do not enter the kingdom of heaven.

00:06:52.159 --> 00:06:54.399
 They are misrepresenting God

00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.939
 and misrepresenting who belongs to the kingdom of God.

00:06:58.819 --> 00:07:01.079
 And the worst misrepresentation

00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:02.959
 is in our passage today,

00:07:03.699 --> 00:07:05.120
 in Mark 3.22,

00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:06.919
 when they say that

00:07:06.919 --> 00:07:09.759
 Jesus is possessed by demons

00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:11.419
 and is driving out demons

00:07:11.419 --> 00:07:13.699
 by the prince of demons.

00:07:14.859 --> 00:07:16.139
 For their knowledge,

00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.759
 they should know who Jesus is,

00:07:19.339 --> 00:07:20.719
 but they speak against him.

00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.760
 They thought they were speaking against Jesus,

00:07:24.280 --> 00:07:24.940
 but in fact,

00:07:25.280 --> 00:07:26.700
 they are speaking against God.

00:07:27.460 --> 00:07:28.800
 They are speaking against God

00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.540
 because they do not believe who Jesus is,

00:07:32.200 --> 00:07:34.080
 which means they do not believe

00:07:34.080 --> 00:07:35.900
 in God who sent Jesus.

00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:40.000
 When we are looking at this passage,

00:07:40.580 --> 00:07:42.440
 when Mark mentioned about this incident,

00:07:42.960 --> 00:07:44.720
 he seems to have interrupted

00:07:45.340 --> 00:07:46.300
 what he was saying

00:07:46.300 --> 00:07:48.340
 in verse 20 to 21.

00:07:48.339 --> 00:07:50.519
 If you turn there and have a look,

00:07:51.019 --> 00:07:53.299
 Mark was talking about Jesus and his family

00:07:53.299 --> 00:07:54.519
 in that two verses,

00:07:55.139 --> 00:07:57.319
 but he jumped on to the incident

00:07:57.319 --> 00:07:59.339
 between Jesus and the teachers of the law,

00:08:00.539 --> 00:08:02.519
 especially this group of people from Jerusalem,

00:08:03.679 --> 00:08:05.579
 between verse 22 and 30.

00:08:06.679 --> 00:08:09.039
 He then jumped back to Jesus' interaction

00:08:09.039 --> 00:08:10.239
 with his family

00:08:10.239 --> 00:08:12.779
 in verse 31 to 35.

00:08:14.379 --> 00:08:16.259
 Mark did this on purpose

00:08:16.259 --> 00:08:19.099
 to show us that there is something similar

00:08:19.099 --> 00:08:21.139
 between the teachers of the law

00:08:21.139 --> 00:08:24.139
 and Jesus' family.

00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.819
 Let's read again from 22 to 21,

00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.060
 and then we go down to 31 to 33

00:08:31.060 --> 00:08:33.019
 to go deeper into this issue.

00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:36.379
 Verse 20,

00:08:36.379 --> 00:08:38.320
 Then Jesus entered a house

00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:41.340
 and began a crowd gathered

00:08:41.340 --> 00:08:43.360
 so that he and his disciples

00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:45.080
 were not even able to eat.

00:08:45.820 --> 00:08:47.480
 When his family heard about this,

00:08:47.820 --> 00:08:49.399
 they went to take charge of him,

00:08:49.700 --> 00:08:50.340
 for they said,

00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:51.980
 he is out of his mind.

00:08:53.059 --> 00:08:53.519
 31,

00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:56.559
 Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived.

00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:57.759
 Sending outside,

00:08:58.120 --> 00:08:59.779
 they sent someone in to call him.

00:09:00.580 --> 00:09:02.740
 A crowd was sitting around him

00:09:02.740 --> 00:09:03.940
 and they told him,

00:09:03.940 --> 00:09:05.260
 your mother and brothers

00:09:05.260 --> 00:09:06.860
 are outside looking for you.

00:09:07.760 --> 00:09:10.140
 Who are my mothers and my brothers?

00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:10.980
 He asked.

00:09:12.860 --> 00:09:15.180
 Who are my mothers and my brothers?

00:09:15.280 --> 00:09:15.620
 He asked.

00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:17.600
 Such shocking words

00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:19.180
 to have said to your family,

00:09:19.780 --> 00:09:21.480
 especially to a Hebrew family

00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:23.480
 that placed so much value

00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:25.180
 in their family tradition.

00:09:26.620 --> 00:09:28.320
 Where their sense of worth,

00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:30.220
 their personal value,

00:09:30.380 --> 00:09:31.200
 ties tightly

00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.520
 with what approval they get

00:09:33.520 --> 00:09:34.680
 from their family.

00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:38.120
 With culture,

00:09:38.460 --> 00:09:40.200
 their emphasis collective value,

00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:41.940
 such as most of Asian

00:09:41.940 --> 00:09:43.560
 and African culture,

00:09:44.300 --> 00:09:45.600
 Greek and Italian

00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:47.520
 and Middle Eastern,

00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:49.720
 and sometimes even some Australian

00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:50.460
 when they say,

00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:51.840
 your home is a castle.

00:09:53.280 --> 00:09:54.720
 You guys know where they're from.

00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:56.400
 That shows how old I am.

00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.620
 This is unthinkable

00:09:59.620 --> 00:10:02.000
 that Jesus gave such a reply.

00:10:03.779 --> 00:10:04.840
 I said that Mark

00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:06.360
 had inserted this incident

00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:08.079
 about the teachers of the law

00:10:08.079 --> 00:10:08.759
 from Jerusalem

00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:10.100
 to indicate

00:10:10.100 --> 00:10:11.459
 there's some similarity

00:10:11.459 --> 00:10:13.220
 between them and the family.

00:10:15.220 --> 00:10:17.079
 Family often thinks

00:10:17.079 --> 00:10:18.860
 that they have privileged access

00:10:18.860 --> 00:10:20.039
 to their family member.

00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:22.379
 So Jesus' mother and brothers

00:10:22.379 --> 00:10:23.699
 waited outside,

00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:25.019
 waiting for people

00:10:25.019 --> 00:10:26.100
 to make way for them

00:10:26.100 --> 00:10:26.659
 to get in.

00:10:28.079 --> 00:10:30.299
 The older or senior members

00:10:30.299 --> 00:10:31.419
 often think that

00:10:31.419 --> 00:10:32.399
 they know better

00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.819
 and they took on

00:10:34.819 --> 00:10:36.319
 an authoritative position

00:10:36.319 --> 00:10:38.159
 and they will not listen

00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:39.179
 or will not

00:10:39.179 --> 00:10:40.419
 not willing to listen.

00:10:42.819 --> 00:10:43.500
 Scenorality,

00:10:44.199 --> 00:10:45.179
 the ranking order

00:10:45.179 --> 00:10:46.319
 determines who have

00:10:46.319 --> 00:10:47.159
 the final say

00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:49.919
 and decide

00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:51.600
 who should be followed

00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:52.639
 or who should lead.

00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:55.379
 A lot of emphasis

00:10:55.379 --> 00:10:56.220
 has been put on

00:10:56.220 --> 00:10:57.860
 the outside adherence

00:10:57.860 --> 00:10:59.199
 of family reputation

00:10:59.199 --> 00:11:03.039
 concerning only

00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:04.539
 the outside appearance.

00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:06.879
 It's often very hard

00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:08.319
 to convince family member

00:11:08.319 --> 00:11:09.139
 of anything

00:11:09.139 --> 00:11:10.360
 because they think

00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:11.159
 they know better.

00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:13.939
 The most similar thing

00:11:13.939 --> 00:11:14.740
 between the teachers

00:11:14.740 --> 00:11:15.299
 of the law

00:11:15.299 --> 00:11:16.319
 and the family

00:11:16.319 --> 00:11:17.620
 is they both

00:11:17.620 --> 00:11:18.419
 do not believe

00:11:18.419 --> 00:11:19.379
 who Jesus said

00:11:19.379 --> 00:11:21.919
 who he really is.

00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:25.059
 Verse 21 said

00:11:25.059 --> 00:11:26.419
 that Jesus' family

00:11:26.419 --> 00:11:27.500
 think he is

00:11:27.500 --> 00:11:28.559
 out of his mind.

00:11:28.980 --> 00:11:29.919
 He had gone mad.

00:11:30.980 --> 00:11:31.980
 Verse 22 say

00:11:31.980 --> 00:11:32.620
 that the teachers

00:11:32.620 --> 00:11:33.179
 of the law

00:11:33.179 --> 00:11:34.199
 think that Jesus

00:11:34.199 --> 00:11:35.399
 is a bad person

00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:36.860
 and uses demon

00:11:36.860 --> 00:11:37.679
 to achieve

00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:39.000
 his popularity.

00:11:40.439 --> 00:11:42.379
 They both have

00:11:42.379 --> 00:11:43.460
 the wrong response

00:11:43.460 --> 00:11:44.039
 to Jesus

00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:45.080
 which means

00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:45.639
 they sat

00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:47.080
 at the outside circle

00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:48.059
 instead of

00:11:48.059 --> 00:11:48.980
 the inside circle

00:11:48.980 --> 00:11:49.500
 of God.

00:11:49.500 --> 00:11:51.960
 after Jesus

00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:53.220
 asked that

00:11:53.220 --> 00:11:54.620
 unthinkable question

00:11:54.620 --> 00:11:55.639
 he provided

00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:56.460
 the answer

00:11:56.460 --> 00:11:57.740
 in verse 34

00:11:57.740 --> 00:11:59.059
 to 35.

00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:02.519
 Then

00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:03.399
 he looked at

00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:03.960
 those seated

00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:05.200
 in a circle

00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:05.879
 around him

00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:06.460
 and said

00:12:06.460 --> 00:12:07.639
 here are my

00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:08.080
 mothers

00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:08.799
 and here

00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:09.539
 are my

00:12:09.539 --> 00:12:10.340
 mother

00:12:10.340 --> 00:12:11.320
 and my brothers

00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:12.519
 whoever

00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:13.820
 does God's will

00:12:13.820 --> 00:12:14.320
 is my

00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:15.419
 brother

00:12:15.419 --> 00:12:16.080
 and sister

00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:16.659
 and mother.

00:12:16.659 --> 00:12:18.779
 to those

00:12:18.779 --> 00:12:19.939
 seated in a circle

00:12:19.939 --> 00:12:20.659
 around him

00:12:20.659 --> 00:12:22.039
 here are my

00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:22.419
 mother

00:12:22.419 --> 00:12:23.459
 and my brothers.

00:12:24.019 --> 00:12:24.740
 Who are these

00:12:24.740 --> 00:12:25.139
 people?

00:12:26.839 --> 00:12:27.699
 We know

00:12:27.699 --> 00:12:28.319
 from earlier

00:12:28.319 --> 00:12:29.519
 in the passage

00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:30.339
 that these

00:12:30.339 --> 00:12:30.759
 are his

00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:31.379
 disciples.

00:12:32.179 --> 00:12:32.519
 These are

00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:33.319
 people that

00:12:33.319 --> 00:12:33.919
 he called

00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:34.860
 and came

00:12:34.860 --> 00:12:35.399
 to him.

00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:37.240
 In Mark

00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:38.059
 3 13

00:12:38.059 --> 00:12:39.179
 Jesus went

00:12:39.179 --> 00:12:39.839
 out on a

00:12:39.839 --> 00:12:40.539
 mountainside

00:12:40.539 --> 00:12:41.379
 and called

00:12:41.379 --> 00:12:41.919
 to him

00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:42.539
 those he

00:12:42.539 --> 00:12:42.919
 wanted

00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:43.799
 and they

00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:44.319
 came to

00:12:44.319 --> 00:12:44.579
 him.

00:12:44.580 --> 00:12:46.800
 We were

00:12:46.800 --> 00:12:47.500
 given

00:12:47.500 --> 00:12:48.220
 account of

00:12:48.220 --> 00:12:48.820
 how five

00:12:48.820 --> 00:12:49.120
 out of

00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:49.300
 these

00:12:49.300 --> 00:12:49.620
 twelve

00:12:49.620 --> 00:12:50.200
 disciples

00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:51.100
 that

00:12:51.100 --> 00:12:51.420
 Jesus

00:12:51.420 --> 00:12:51.720
 had

00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:52.220
 chosen

00:12:52.220 --> 00:12:53.000
 were

00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:53.500
 called

00:12:53.500 --> 00:12:54.280
 and how

00:12:54.280 --> 00:12:54.460
 they

00:12:54.460 --> 00:12:55.040
 responded

00:12:55.040 --> 00:12:55.420
 at the

00:12:55.420 --> 00:12:55.639
 time

00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:55.780
 they

00:12:55.780 --> 00:12:55.940
 were

00:12:55.940 --> 00:12:56.340
 called.

00:12:57.259 --> 00:12:57.580
 So

00:12:57.580 --> 00:12:58.160
 let's

00:12:58.160 --> 00:12:58.639
 go back

00:12:58.639 --> 00:12:59.300
 and look

00:12:59.300 --> 00:12:59.540
 at it

00:12:59.540 --> 00:12:59.920
 again.

00:13:00.540 --> 00:13:00.639
 From

00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:01.780
 chapter 1

00:13:01.780 --> 00:13:02.580
 verse 16

00:13:02.580 --> 00:13:04.900
 chapter 1

00:13:04.900 --> 00:13:05.500
 verse 16

00:13:05.500 --> 00:13:06.620
 as Jesus

00:13:06.620 --> 00:13:07.400
 walked beside

00:13:07.400 --> 00:13:07.780
 the sea

00:13:07.780 --> 00:13:08.400
 of Galilee

00:13:08.400 --> 00:13:09.639
 he saw

00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:10.120
 Simon

00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:10.780
 and his

00:13:10.780 --> 00:13:11.060
 Peter

00:13:11.060 --> 00:13:11.660
 Andrew

00:13:11.660 --> 00:13:12.600
 casting a

00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:13.040
 net into

00:13:13.040 --> 00:13:13.540
 the lake

00:13:13.540 --> 00:13:14.259
 for they

00:13:14.259 --> 00:13:14.879
 were fishermen.

00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:16.139
 Come

00:13:16.139 --> 00:13:16.740
 follow me

00:13:16.740 --> 00:13:17.420
 Jesus said

00:13:17.420 --> 00:13:18.720
 and I

00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:19.180
 will send

00:13:19.180 --> 00:13:19.600
 you out

00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:20.040
 to fish

00:13:20.040 --> 00:13:20.600
 for people.

00:13:21.220 --> 00:13:21.820
 At once

00:13:21.820 --> 00:13:22.540
 they left

00:13:22.540 --> 00:13:23.000
 the net

00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:23.680
 and followed

00:13:23.680 --> 00:13:24.040
 him.

00:13:25.040 --> 00:13:25.560
 When he

00:13:25.560 --> 00:13:25.960
 had gone

00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:26.220
 a little

00:13:26.220 --> 00:13:26.700
 farther

00:13:26.700 --> 00:13:29.400
 he saw

00:13:29.400 --> 00:13:30.060
 James

00:13:30.060 --> 00:13:30.480
 son of

00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:30.940
 Zebedee

00:13:30.940 --> 00:13:32.020
 and his

00:13:32.020 --> 00:13:32.400
 brother

00:13:32.400 --> 00:13:32.840
 John

00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:33.340
 in a

00:13:33.340 --> 00:13:33.620
 boat

00:13:33.620 --> 00:13:34.340
 preparing

00:13:34.340 --> 00:13:34.600
 their

00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:34.940
 nets.

00:13:35.540 --> 00:13:35.780
 Without

00:13:35.780 --> 00:13:36.180
 delay

00:13:36.180 --> 00:13:36.780
 he

00:13:36.780 --> 00:13:37.140
 called

00:13:37.140 --> 00:13:37.379
 them

00:13:37.379 --> 00:13:38.020
 and they

00:13:38.020 --> 00:13:38.280
 left

00:13:38.280 --> 00:13:38.480
 their

00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:38.759
 father

00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:39.379
 Zebedee

00:13:39.379 --> 00:13:39.960
 in a

00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:40.220
 boat

00:13:40.220 --> 00:13:40.680
 with

00:13:40.680 --> 00:13:40.820
 the

00:13:40.820 --> 00:13:41.060
 high

00:13:41.060 --> 00:13:41.379
 man

00:13:41.379 --> 00:13:41.640
 and

00:13:41.640 --> 00:13:41.920
 followed

00:13:41.920 --> 00:13:42.240
 him.

00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:44.080
 After

00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:44.340
 that

00:13:44.340 --> 00:13:44.500
 we

00:13:44.500 --> 00:13:44.620
 were

00:13:44.620 --> 00:13:45.080
 reminded

00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:45.400
 that

00:13:45.400 --> 00:13:45.940
 Simon's

00:13:45.940 --> 00:13:46.220
 mother

00:13:46.220 --> 00:13:48.340
 was

00:13:48.340 --> 00:13:48.759
 sick

00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:49.300
 and

00:13:49.300 --> 00:13:49.759
 after

00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:50.100
 Jesus

00:13:50.100 --> 00:13:50.520
 raised

00:13:50.520 --> 00:13:50.780
 her

00:13:50.780 --> 00:13:51.000
 from

00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:51.140
 the

00:13:51.140 --> 00:13:51.580
 sickness

00:13:51.580 --> 00:13:52.220
 she

00:13:52.220 --> 00:13:52.600
 started

00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:52.820
 to

00:13:52.820 --> 00:13:53.100
 serve

00:13:53.100 --> 00:13:53.379
 them.

00:13:54.520 --> 00:13:54.740
 Then

00:13:54.740 --> 00:13:54.840
 we

00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:55.100
 go to

00:13:55.100 --> 00:13:55.759
 chapter 2

00:13:55.759 --> 00:14:01.279
 chapter

 and

00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:52.120
 brothers

00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:53.120
 and

00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:54.220

00:16:00.019 --> 00:16:00.480
 So

00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:00.919
 what is

00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:01.060
 the

00:16:01.060 --> 00:16:01.220
 will

00:16:01.220 --> 00:16:01.379
 of

00:16:01.379 --> 00:16:01.700
 God?

00:16:05.299 --> 00:16:05.820
 In

00:16:05.820 --> 00:16:06.259
 2 Peter

00:16:06.259 --> 00:16:06.620
 3,

00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:06.980
 9,

00:16:07.220 --> 00:16:07.500
 often

00:16:07.500 --> 00:16:07.840
 when we

00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:08.060
 have

00:16:08.060 --> 00:16:08.639
 communion,

00:16:08.820 --> 00:16:08.919
 we

00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:09.060
 actually

00:16:09.060 --> 00:16:09.320

00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:09.519
 about

00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:09.720
 these

00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:10.060
 verses.

00:16:10.980 --> 00:16:11.060
 It

00:16:11.060 --> 00:16:11.259
 says

00:16:11.259 --> 00:16:11.500
 that

00:16:11.500 --> 00:16:11.700
 God

00:16:11.700 --> 00:16:11.919
 is

00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:12.379

00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:13.039
 you,

00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:13.580
 not

00:16:13.580 --> 00:16:14.080
 wanting

00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:14.500
 anyone

00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:14.759
 to

00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:15.200
 perish,

00:16:15.659 --> 00:16:15.779
 but

00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:18.720
 In

00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:18.959
 Jesus'

 The

00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:14.799
 Having

00:17:20.579 --> 00:17:20.920
 It

00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:21.160
 sounds

00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:21.360
 so

00:17:21.360 --> 00:17:21.819
 simple,

00:17:21.940 --> 00:17:22.140
 isn't

00:17:22.140 --> 00:17:22.339
 it?

00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:22.940
 But

00:17:22.940 --> 00:17:23.799
 it's

00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:24.000
 that

00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:24.480
 simple

00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:25.180
 because

00:17:25.180 --> 00:17:25.559
 God

00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:25.839
 has

00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:26.079
 done

00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:26.400
 all

00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:26.559
 the

00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:26.980

00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:28.299
 all

00:17:28.299 --> 00:17:28.420
 the

00:17:28.420 --> 00:17:28.980
 requirements

00:17:28.980 --> 00:17:29.299
 for

00:17:29.299 --> 00:17:29.559
 us

00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:30.039
 through

00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:30.440
 Jesus.

00:17:31.819 --> 00:17:32.380
 In

00:17:32.380 --> 00:17:32.519
 our

00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:32.799
 passage

00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:33.160
 today,

00:17:33.259 --> 00:17:33.380
 we're

00:17:33.380 --> 00:17:33.599
 in the

00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:33.880
 middle,

00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:34.319
 in

00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:34.980
 chapter

00:17:34.980 --> 00:17:35.779
 27,

00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:36.160
 it

00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:36.360
 says,

00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:37.179
 no one

00:17:37.179 --> 00:17:37.379
 can

00:17:37.379 --> 00:17:37.819
 enter

00:17:37.819 --> 00:17:38.079

00:17:38.719 --> 00:17:39.019

00:17:39.019 --> 00:17:39.579
 without

00:17:39.579 --> 00:17:40.079

00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:40.439
 tying

00:17:40.439 --> 00:17:40.719

00:17:40.719 --> 00:17:40.979
 up.

00:17:41.419 --> 00:17:41.679
 Then

00:17:41.679 --> 00:17:41.819
 he

00:17:41.819 --> 00:17:42.000
 can

00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:42.359
 plunder

00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:42.599
 the

00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:42.879
 strong

00:17:42.879 --> 00:17:43.219
 man's

00:17:43.219 --> 00:17:43.479
 house.

00:17:44.959 --> 00:17:45.299
 Through

00:17:45.299 --> 00:17:45.799
 Jesus,

00:17:46.299 --> 00:17:46.500
 God

00:17:46.500 --> 00:17:46.679
 has

00:17:46.679 --> 00:17:47.139
 already

00:17:47.139 --> 00:17:47.579
 tied

00:17:47.579 --> 00:17:47.779
 up

00:17:47.779 --> 00:17:48.299
 Satan,

00:17:49.059 --> 00:17:49.279
 the

00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:49.479
 one

00:17:49.479 --> 00:17:49.599
 that

00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:49.759
 we

00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:50.039
 think

00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:50.279
 is

00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:50.699
 strong.

00:17:51.939 --> 00:17:52.359
 It's

00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:52.879
 impossible

00:17:52.879 --> 00:17:53.479
 to

00:17:53.479 --> 00:17:53.859
 try to

00:17:53.859 --> 00:17:54.019
 get

00:17:54.019 --> 00:17:54.240
 into

00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:54.399
 the

00:17:54.399 --> 00:17:54.779
 community

00:17:54.779 --> 00:17:55.000
 of

00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:55.299
 Jesus

00:17:55.299 --> 00:17:56.019
 in

00:17:56.019 --> 00:17:56.199
 your

00:17:56.199 --> 00:17:56.479
 own

00:17:56.479 --> 00:17:57.000
 effort

00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:57.779
 by

00:17:57.779 --> 00:17:58.119
 being

00:17:58.119 --> 00:17:58.679
 religious

00:17:58.679 --> 00:17:59.279
 or

00:17:59.279 --> 00:17:59.479
 by

00:17:59.479 --> 00:17:59.839
 relying

00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:00.079
 on

00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:00.279
 your

00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:01.159
 lineage.

00:18:03.159 --> 00:18:03.879
 God

00:18:03.879 --> 00:18:04.139
 made

00:18:04.139 --> 00:18:04.299

00:18:04.299 --> 00:18:04.939

00:18:04.939 --> 00:18:05.539
 possible

00:18:05.539 --> 00:18:05.919
 in

00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:06.240
 Jesus.

00:18:07.220 --> 00:18:07.539
 Believe

00:18:07.539 --> 00:18:07.740
 in

00:18:07.740 --> 00:18:08.000

00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:08.440
 is

00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:08.680
 all

00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:09.560

00:18:09.560 --> 00:18:09.860
 need

00:18:09.860 --> 00:18:10.019
 to

00:18:10.019 --> 00:18:10.180
 be

00:18:10.180 --> 00:18:10.480
 part

00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:10.660
 of

00:18:10.660 --> 00:18:11.360
 heaven.

00:18:12.259 --> 00:18:12.560
 Believe

00:18:12.560 --> 00:18:12.940
 Jesus

00:18:12.940 --> 00:18:13.259
 is

00:18:13.259 --> 00:18:13.640
 God.

00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:14.500
 Follow

00:18:14.500 --> 00:18:14.880
 him,

00:18:15.360 --> 00:18:15.600

00:18:15.980 --> 00:18:16.380

00:18:16.380 --> 00:18:16.779

00:18:17.420 --> 00:18:17.600

00:18:17.600 --> 00:18:17.860
 God.

00:18:20.259 --> 00:18:20.860
 If

00:18:20.860 --> 00:18:20.940
 you

00:18:20.940 --> 00:18:21.060
 have

00:18:21.060 --> 00:18:21.240
 not

00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:21.720

00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:21.960
 to

00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:22.240
 Jesus

00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:22.640

00:18:23.660 --> 00:18:24.060

00:18:24.060 --> 00:18:24.620
 is

00:18:24.620 --> 00:18:24.759
 an

00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:25.300
 opportunity

00:18:25.300 --> 00:18:25.940

00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:28.279
 If

00:18:30.860 --> 00:18:31.220
 some

00:18:31.220 --> 00:18:32.440
