00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.360
 We all know what it's like to be disappointed.

00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:10.380
 If you don't know what that's like,

00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:12.160
 and you haven't known me long enough,

00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:16.559
 but sometimes, I mean, usually when you're disappointed,

00:00:16.740 --> 00:00:18.339
 it's you just kind of bump on the road,

00:00:18.460 --> 00:00:21.199
 and you go on with your life,

00:00:21.500 --> 00:00:22.859
 continue with whatever you were doing.

00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.519
 But sometimes disappointments can be a little bit more dampening.

00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:28.359
 Disappointments can turn to discouragement,

00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:32.259
 discouragement, doubt, despair.

00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:40.060
 You think of maybe a woman who has always dreamed of getting married

00:00:40.060 --> 00:00:42.780
 and having a family, having children,

00:00:43.500 --> 00:00:45.539
 and then she's disappointed repeatedly,

00:00:45.780 --> 00:00:50.159
 and that eventually leads to discouragement and doubt.

00:00:50.379 --> 00:00:51.480
 Maybe I'll never get married.

00:00:53.379 --> 00:00:55.920
 Maybe no one wants to marry someone like me.

00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:05.200
 Or I think of a man who dreamed of this grand, fulfilling, lucrative career,

00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:08.500
 but is repeatedly set back, is disappointed,

00:01:09.340 --> 00:01:13.439
 and is discouraged, and that leads to self-doubt and despair.

00:01:13.579 --> 00:01:14.900
 Maybe it was never meant to be.

00:01:14.900 --> 00:01:17.520
 Maybe I just don't have it.

00:01:19.960 --> 00:01:22.420
 And for the Christian, too, in the Christian life,

00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:24.600
 this kind of cycle of discouragement,

00:01:24.820 --> 00:01:27.400
 this disappointment, discouragement, and doubt can happen.

00:01:27.860 --> 00:01:28.540
 It could creep in.

00:01:28.580 --> 00:01:32.640
 A zealous Christian who enthusiastically evangelizes his friends

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:34.580
 and shares the gospel with his neighbors

00:01:34.579 --> 00:01:37.959
 is repeatedly disappointed and then discouraged

00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:39.060
 and then begins to doubt.

00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:41.500
 Maybe my friends will never come to faith.

00:01:43.039 --> 00:01:45.019
 Maybe they're right.

00:01:45.219 --> 00:01:46.340
 My faith is ridiculous.

00:01:49.739 --> 00:01:54.280
 Or a Christian places her hope in Jesus Christ

00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:56.359
 for all her sufferings in her life,

00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.299
 but then eventually, as sufferings mount up,

00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.060
 she loses loved ones, she loses her job.

00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:05.280
 Disappointments lead to discouragement and doubt.

00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:07.579
 Maybe God doesn't love me.

00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:10.599
 Maybe God isn't in control.

00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:13.400
 Maybe Christianity isn't true at all.

00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:17.900
 The Ephesians, at the time of Paul's writing,

00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.319
 were facing a similar cycle of disappointment

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.560
 and discouragement and possibly even doubt.

00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.199
 And Paul, because the reason for that

00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:28.539
 is Paul, the great apostle to the Gentiles,

00:02:29.140 --> 00:02:31.500
 Paul, who was to them the father of faith,

00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:33.360
 is now imprisoned.

00:02:34.620 --> 00:02:37.620
 In fact, if you kind of compare this account,

00:02:37.900 --> 00:02:40.980
 his letters to the timeline in the book of Acts,

00:02:41.259 --> 00:02:42.740
 it seems that Paul's been in prison

00:02:42.740 --> 00:02:44.659
 for maybe three years up to this point,

00:02:44.740 --> 00:02:45.659
 possibly even four.

00:02:48.180 --> 00:02:50.300
 And so they're beginning to lose heart.

00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:52.060
 Did Christ really triumph?

00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.120
 Is Christ really victorious?

00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:57.360
 Then why so much suffering for God's people?

00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:59.780
 Why is this great apostle to the Gentiles

00:02:59.780 --> 00:03:01.800
 imprisoned now going on three,

00:03:02.219 --> 00:03:03.099
 possibly four years?

00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.199
 Is Paul really an apostle of Jesus?

00:03:06.060 --> 00:03:07.539
 We haven't heard much from him.

00:03:08.620 --> 00:03:10.219
 He's been in prison all these years.

00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:12.300
 So recognizing this,

00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:14.400
 as Paul writes this letter,

00:03:14.480 --> 00:03:15.759
 and he begins to talk about

00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:17.400
 how he is a prisoner of Christ Jesus

00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:18.640
 on behalf of the Gentiles,

00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.439
 he feels the need to address the situation

00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:23.139
 and to offer some consolation

00:03:23.139 --> 00:03:25.019
 to the people in Ephesus.

00:03:25.799 --> 00:03:26.659
 And that's his goal.

00:03:26.859 --> 00:03:29.619
 Verse 13 is really where he completes the thought

00:03:29.619 --> 00:03:30.959
 that he begins in verse 1,

00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:31.419
 where he says,

00:03:31.779 --> 00:03:33.239
 for this reason I, Paul,

00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:34.459
 a prisoner of Christ Jesus,

00:03:34.519 --> 00:03:35.299
 and then he later goes,

00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.199
 he digresses from that,

00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:39.619
 and then he begins,

00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:41.679
 well, he really completes that prayer

00:03:41.679 --> 00:03:42.979
 starting in verse 14,

00:03:43.399 --> 00:03:44.979
 where he resumes that line of thought

00:03:44.979 --> 00:03:45.879
 starting in verse 1.

00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:47.699
 But that whole verse 2 to 13

00:03:47.699 --> 00:03:49.579
 is a digression intended to explain

00:03:49.579 --> 00:03:51.539
 and to console the Ephesian believers.

00:03:51.979 --> 00:03:53.180
 And so he says in verse 13,

00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.680
 so I ask you not to lose heart

00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:57.879
 over what I am suffering for you,

00:03:58.079 --> 00:04:00.319
 which is your glory.

00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.219
 And that's really Paul's main point.

00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:03.479
 His point is that we can,

00:04:03.659 --> 00:04:04.120
 as believers,

00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.300
 take heart in the midst of suffering

00:04:06.300 --> 00:04:08.680
 because the glorious mystery of Christ

00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:10.460
 has been made known to us

00:04:10.460 --> 00:04:12.800
 and is being made known through us.

00:04:12.859 --> 00:04:14.099
 And that's the point

00:04:14.099 --> 00:04:15.359
 that he wants to teach us.

00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:16.780
 through this passage.

00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:17.920
 And the three main points

00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:18.980
 that I'm going to go through in this

00:04:18.980 --> 00:04:20.639
 is the revelation of the mystery

00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:21.879
 in verses 1 to 6,

00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:24.180
 and the proclamation of the mystery

00:04:24.180 --> 00:04:25.420
 in verses 7 to 12,

00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:27.120
 and finally the consolation

00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.520
 of the mystery in verse 13.

00:04:30.580 --> 00:04:31.879
 So Paul first talks about

00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:33.160
 the revelation of the mystery

00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:34.420
 in verses 1 to 6.

00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:35.639
 He begins,

00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:36.980
 for this reason,

00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:38.199
 I, Paul,

00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.259
 a prisoner of Christ Jesus,

00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:42.000
 on behalf of you Gentiles.

00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:43.480
 So for this reason,

00:04:43.540 --> 00:04:43.720
 really,

00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:44.759
 is connecting it back

00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:45.819
 to the previous passage

00:04:45.819 --> 00:04:46.639
 in chapter 2

00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:47.620
 where he talked about

00:04:47.620 --> 00:04:49.300
 how God gloriously brought together

00:04:49.300 --> 00:04:50.199
 Gentiles and Jews,

00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:51.480
 his saving work,

00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:52.120
 uniting them,

00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:53.779
 reconciling to one another

00:04:53.779 --> 00:04:55.079
 and uniting them to God.

00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:56.879
 And so that's the reason

00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:58.560
 why Paul's beginning this sentence,

00:04:58.680 --> 00:04:59.740
 but he doesn't complete that,

00:04:59.779 --> 00:05:00.160
 like I said,

00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:01.800
 until the next passage

00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:02.639
 in verse 14

00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.040
 where he prays for them,

00:05:04.180 --> 00:05:05.279
 for this reason,

00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:07.139
 I bow my knees before the Father.

00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:07.959
 That's how he begins,

00:05:08.060 --> 00:05:08.560
 verse 14.

00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.100
 And so in verses 2 to 13,

00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:12.920
 he's digressing in order to console

00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:14.740
 people who are doubting,

00:05:14.860 --> 00:05:15.500
 maybe discouraged

00:05:15.500 --> 00:05:17.040
 by his ongoing imprisonment.

00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.860
 But as he talks about his imprisonment,

00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:20.579
 it's really interesting

00:05:20.579 --> 00:05:22.959
 because Paul doesn't seem despondent at all.

00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:23.840
 In fact,

00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:26.379
 he sounds perhaps a little bit defiant

00:05:26.379 --> 00:05:29.259
 because see how he describes his imprisonment.

00:05:29.340 --> 00:05:29.660
 He says,

00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.560
 I appalled the prisoner of Christ Jesus.

00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:38.079
 You would expect Paul to say,

00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:38.860
 Paul,

00:05:39.300 --> 00:05:40.860
 a prisoner of Caesar.

00:05:41.899 --> 00:05:42.339
 Paul,

00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:43.459
 a prisoner of Nero.

00:05:44.379 --> 00:05:44.959
 But Paul says,

00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:45.240
 no,

00:05:45.339 --> 00:05:48.199
 I am a prisoner of Christ Jesus.

00:05:48.980 --> 00:05:50.720
 Even in his imprisonment,

00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:53.500
 as he's suffering on behalf of the Gentiles,

00:05:53.540 --> 00:05:55.620
 as he's suffering for Christ's sake,

00:05:55.660 --> 00:05:58.019
 he recognizes whom he belongs to,

00:05:58.680 --> 00:05:59.680
 who owns him,

00:05:59.959 --> 00:06:00.660
 who is his Lord,

00:06:00.740 --> 00:06:01.420
 who is his master.

00:06:01.500 --> 00:06:02.180
 It's not Caesar.

00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:04.240
 It's the Lord Jesus.

00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:04.540
 He says,

00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.000
 I'm a prisoner of Christ Jesus.

00:06:09.100 --> 00:06:10.800
 Unless the new Gentile believers

00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.600
 question his apostleship

00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:15.139
 and his ministry on their behalf,

00:06:15.500 --> 00:06:17.040
 he now elaborates on that

00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:17.920
 in the following verses,

00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:18.960
 in verses two to three.

00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:21.060
 Assuming that you have heard

00:06:21.060 --> 00:06:23.100
 of the stewardship of God's grace

00:06:23.100 --> 00:06:24.920
 that was given to me for you,

00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:27.460
 how the mystery was made known to me

00:06:27.460 --> 00:06:28.240
 by revelation,

00:06:28.660 --> 00:06:30.699
 as I have written briefly.

00:06:31.699 --> 00:06:33.000
 So Paul sees himself

00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:35.120
 as a steward of God's grace,

00:06:35.420 --> 00:06:36.759
 someone who has been entrusted

00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:38.100
 with God's grace.

00:06:38.459 --> 00:06:39.519
 And the word stewardship

00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:40.959
 really is derived

00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:42.699
 from the same Greek word

00:06:42.699 --> 00:06:43.800
 that was used earlier

00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:44.540
 in chapter one,

00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:44.980
 verse nine,

00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:46.839
 to speak of God's salvation plan,

00:06:47.060 --> 00:06:47.500
 the plan,

00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:48.279
 word for plan.

00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:50.939
 It refers to kind of a house plan

00:06:50.939 --> 00:06:51.699
 or a blueprint,

00:06:52.019 --> 00:06:52.600
 so to speak.

00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:54.300
 And it's said that God

00:06:54.300 --> 00:06:55.680
 made known to us

00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:56.820
 the mystery of his will

00:06:56.820 --> 00:06:57.900
 according to his purpose,

00:06:58.220 --> 00:06:59.740
 which he set forth in Christ

00:06:59.740 --> 00:07:01.660
 as a plan for the fullness of time

00:07:01.660 --> 00:07:03.180
 to unite all things in him,

00:07:03.260 --> 00:07:03.780
 things in heaven

00:07:03.780 --> 00:07:04.840
 and things on earth.

00:07:05.420 --> 00:07:07.460
 And there's several other words

00:07:07.460 --> 00:07:08.400
 in this passage that occur

00:07:08.400 --> 00:07:10.420
 which are all the same variations

00:07:10.420 --> 00:07:11.860
 of that Greek root,

00:07:11.960 --> 00:07:12.600
 that Greek word.

00:07:13.100 --> 00:07:13.820
 So for example,

00:07:13.980 --> 00:07:14.840
 in 18 to 20,

00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.120
 he describes the household of God,

00:07:17.540 --> 00:07:17.740
 right?

00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:19.480
 It's related to the steward,

00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:19.920
 steward,

00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:21.160
 and a building

00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:23.080
 that is being built up

00:07:23.080 --> 00:07:24.400
 upon the cornerstone of Christ

00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:25.000
 and the foundation

00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:26.020
 of apostles and prophets.

00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:27.379
 So all of those words

00:07:27.379 --> 00:07:28.900
 are really kind of related words.

00:07:28.960 --> 00:07:30.400
 They come from the same Greek words,

00:07:30.640 --> 00:07:31.200
 the building,

00:07:31.420 --> 00:07:31.780
 household,

00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:32.340
 plan,

00:07:32.740 --> 00:07:33.180
 steward.

00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:34.780
 And so what Paul is trying

00:07:34.780 --> 00:07:35.660
 to paint a picture of

00:07:35.660 --> 00:07:36.500
 is here is that

00:07:36.500 --> 00:07:37.520
 we're all,

00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:39.640
 God is our father.

00:07:39.780 --> 00:07:41.420
 He is the heavenly head

00:07:41.420 --> 00:07:41.980
 of households,

00:07:42.060 --> 00:07:42.520
 so to speak.

00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:44.879
 And we are all the family of God.

00:07:44.939 --> 00:07:46.259
 We are the household of God.

00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:48.580
 And he has a plan.

00:07:48.579 --> 00:07:49.579
 He has a house plan

00:07:49.579 --> 00:07:50.300
 for his family.

00:07:50.359 --> 00:07:51.379
 He has a family plan.

00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:52.979
 And so then Paul,

00:07:53.019 --> 00:07:54.079
 and Paul is a steward

00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:55.879
 of that household,

00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:57.060
 meaning he's a house servant.

00:07:57.419 --> 00:07:58.459
 So all of these languages

00:07:58.459 --> 00:07:59.459
 he's using to emphasize

00:07:59.459 --> 00:08:00.300
 the fact that we are

00:08:00.300 --> 00:08:01.099
 the family of God

00:08:01.099 --> 00:08:01.879
 and Paul's part

00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:03.419
 of this family business.

00:08:03.539 --> 00:08:04.300
 He's a steward

00:08:04.300 --> 00:08:05.319
 of that house.

00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:06.939
 He's a servant

00:08:06.939 --> 00:08:07.620
 of that house.

00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:09.860
 And this stewardship,

00:08:10.139 --> 00:08:10.819
 this entrustment

00:08:10.819 --> 00:08:11.639
 of God's grace

00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:12.299
 in Christ Jesus,

00:08:12.500 --> 00:08:13.259
 Paul refers to

00:08:13.259 --> 00:08:14.360
 as the mystery

00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:16.099
 which was made known

00:08:16.099 --> 00:08:17.620
 to him by revelation.

00:08:17.620 --> 00:08:18.699
 That's how it was

00:08:18.699 --> 00:08:19.500
 made known to him.

00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:20.600
 That means Paul

00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:21.360
 wasn't sitting

00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:22.399
 under a boated tree

00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:22.819
 somewhere

00:08:22.819 --> 00:08:24.259
 and then conjured it up

00:08:24.259 --> 00:08:24.800
 himself,

00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:26.180
 reaching enlightenment.

00:08:27.220 --> 00:08:28.199
 That means Paul

00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:28.899
 didn't get it

00:08:28.899 --> 00:08:29.920
 out of his own mind.

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:31.379
 That means someone else

00:08:31.379 --> 00:08:32.779
 revealed it to him.

00:08:33.060 --> 00:08:33.740
 God himself

00:08:33.740 --> 00:08:34.899
 revealed it to him.

00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:35.740
 It was made known

00:08:35.740 --> 00:08:36.960
 to him by revelation,

00:08:37.139 --> 00:08:37.820
 this mystery.

00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:39.379
 He's not the originator

00:08:39.379 --> 00:08:39.919
 of the mystery.

00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:40.759
 He's a steward.

00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:41.700
 He's a keeper.

00:08:41.820 --> 00:08:42.480
 He's a guarder.

00:08:42.539 --> 00:08:43.700
 He's been entrusted

00:08:43.700 --> 00:08:44.519
 with this mystery.

00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:46.759
 And he spells out

00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:48.039
 exactly what this mystery

00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:49.319
 is in verses 4 to 6

00:08:49.319 --> 00:08:50.100
 because his intention

00:08:50.100 --> 00:08:50.939
 is not to become

00:08:50.939 --> 00:08:52.480
 this shaman-like figure

00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.240
 who withholds

00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:54.980
 all the mysteries

00:08:54.980 --> 00:08:55.579
 to himself

00:08:55.579 --> 00:08:56.460
 and guards it

00:08:56.460 --> 00:08:57.179
 and dispenses it

00:08:57.179 --> 00:08:57.919
 as he wills.

00:08:57.939 --> 00:08:59.179
 No, he wants everyone

00:08:59.179 --> 00:09:00.879
 to understand this mystery.

00:09:00.980 --> 00:09:01.600
 So he tells us

00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:02.559
 exactly what it is

00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:03.519
 in verses 4 to 6.

00:09:03.819 --> 00:09:04.879
 When you read this,

00:09:05.139 --> 00:09:05.840
 you can perceive

00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:06.519
 my insight

00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:07.319
 into the mystery

00:09:07.319 --> 00:09:07.919
 of Christ

00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:09.460
 which was not made

00:09:09.460 --> 00:09:10.259
 known to the sons

00:09:10.259 --> 00:09:10.579
 of men

00:09:10.579 --> 00:09:11.559
 in other generations

00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:13.059
 as it has now

00:09:13.059 --> 00:09:14.119
 been revealed

00:09:14.119 --> 00:09:15.699
 to his holy apostles

00:09:15.699 --> 00:09:16.459
 and prophets

00:09:16.459 --> 00:09:17.539
 by the Spirit.

00:09:18.299 --> 00:09:19.039
 This mystery

00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:20.279
 is that the Gentiles

00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:21.479
 are fellow heirs,

00:09:22.119 --> 00:09:23.759
 members of the same body

00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:25.379
 and partakers

00:09:25.379 --> 00:09:26.179
 of the promise

00:09:26.179 --> 00:09:27.000
 in Christ Jesus

00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:28.259
 through the gospel.

00:09:28.959 --> 00:09:29.799
 So the content

00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:30.559
 of the mystery

00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:31.119
 is this.

00:09:31.579 --> 00:09:32.919
 In Christ Jesus

00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:34.819
 and through his gospel

00:09:34.819 --> 00:09:36.239
 which is the good news

00:09:36.239 --> 00:09:37.279
 that Jesus lived

00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:38.179
 and died

00:09:38.179 --> 00:09:39.019
 and rose again

00:09:39.019 --> 00:09:39.639
 to reconcile

00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:40.699
 undeserving sinners

00:09:40.700 --> 00:09:41.440
 like us,

00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:42.540
 rebellious sinners

00:09:42.540 --> 00:09:43.100
 like us

00:09:43.100 --> 00:09:43.780
 to God

00:09:43.780 --> 00:09:45.620
 and that in that gospel

00:09:45.620 --> 00:09:46.280
 in that good news

00:09:46.280 --> 00:09:46.720
 of Jesus

00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:47.620
 the Gentiles

00:09:47.620 --> 00:09:48.520
 not just Jews

00:09:48.520 --> 00:09:49.620
 but also the Greeks

00:09:49.620 --> 00:09:50.420
 also the Gentiles

00:09:50.420 --> 00:09:51.759
 people from all nations

00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:52.840
 are brought together

00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:53.320
 in God

00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:54.540
 are now fellow heirs

00:09:54.540 --> 00:09:55.200
 of the kingdom

00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:56.680
 and therefore heirs

00:09:56.680 --> 00:09:57.580
 to the inheritance

00:09:57.580 --> 00:09:58.520
 the heavenly inheritance

00:09:58.520 --> 00:09:59.460
 of our God the Father

00:09:59.460 --> 00:10:00.700
 and for that reason

00:10:00.700 --> 00:10:01.640
 we are also members

00:10:01.640 --> 00:10:02.740
 of the same body.

00:10:02.940 --> 00:10:04.040
 It speaks of membership

00:10:04.040 --> 00:10:04.980
 again as he did

00:10:04.980 --> 00:10:05.840
 in the last passage

00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:06.500
 from last week.

00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:07.900
 Paul's very emphatic

00:10:07.900 --> 00:10:08.640
 about this truth

00:10:08.640 --> 00:10:09.740
 in verse 6

00:10:09.740 --> 00:10:11.019
 the words heirs

00:10:11.019 --> 00:10:11.720
 members

00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:12.580
 and partakers

00:10:12.580 --> 00:10:13.080
 in Greek

00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:14.899
 all have the same prefix

00:10:14.899 --> 00:10:16.419
 that means with

00:10:16.419 --> 00:10:17.539
 or together

00:10:17.539 --> 00:10:19.180
 and so if you were

00:10:19.180 --> 00:10:20.259
 to kind of translate

00:10:20.259 --> 00:10:20.940
 that more literally

00:10:20.940 --> 00:10:21.460
 to convey

00:10:21.460 --> 00:10:22.600
 the rhetorical effect

00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:23.240
 of what Paul's

00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:23.919
 trying to say is

00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:24.600
 he's saying

00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:25.500
 this mystery

00:10:25.500 --> 00:10:26.980
 is that the Gentiles

00:10:26.980 --> 00:10:28.100
 are fellow heirs

00:10:28.100 --> 00:10:29.379
 fellow members

00:10:29.379 --> 00:10:30.259
 of the same body

00:10:30.259 --> 00:10:31.720
 fellow partakers

00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:32.779
 of the promise

00:10:32.779 --> 00:10:34.060
 in Christ Jesus

00:10:34.060 --> 00:10:35.279
 through the gospel

00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.320
 and that's a beautiful truth

00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:38.360
 an amazing truth

00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:39.399
 it's that across

00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:40.300
 ethnicities

00:10:40.300 --> 00:10:41.560
 across race

00:10:41.560 --> 00:10:43.840
 across all class boundaries

00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:45.360
 all those who entrust

00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:46.159
 themselves to Jesus

00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:47.000
 for salvation

00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:47.960
 have been united

00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:48.940
 in one body

00:10:48.940 --> 00:10:51.480
 reconciled to each other

00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:51.940
 and together

00:10:51.940 --> 00:10:53.200
 reconciled to God

00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.100
 we who are once

00:10:55.100 --> 00:10:55.620
 far off

00:10:55.620 --> 00:10:56.580
 have been brought near

00:10:56.580 --> 00:10:57.800
 and that's the mystery

00:10:57.800 --> 00:11:02.220
 and how God

00:11:02.220 --> 00:11:03.060
 accomplished this

00:11:03.060 --> 00:11:03.600
 through his son

00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:04.080
 Jesus Christ

00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:05.539
 has had been a mystery

00:11:05.539 --> 00:11:07.639
 in the former generations

00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:08.519
 as Paul makes clear

00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:09.219
 in this passage

00:11:09.219 --> 00:11:10.699
 it was not made known

00:11:10.699 --> 00:11:11.559
 to the sons of men

00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:12.480
 in other generations

00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:13.799
 but it has now

00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:14.500
 been revealed

00:11:14.500 --> 00:11:15.500
 to his holy apostles

00:11:15.500 --> 00:11:16.079
 and prophets

00:11:16.079 --> 00:11:17.279
 by the spirit

00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:18.299
 and the apostles

00:11:18.299 --> 00:11:19.000
 and prophets

00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:20.639
 is when he mentions

00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:21.299
 that Paul is not

00:11:21.299 --> 00:11:22.799
 referring to anyone

00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:24.159
 with an apostolic

00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:25.099
 or prophetic gift

00:11:25.099 --> 00:11:26.679
 so there are people

00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:28.079
 with so-called

00:11:28.079 --> 00:11:29.019
 apostolic gift

00:11:29.019 --> 00:11:30.079
 who become

00:11:30.079 --> 00:11:31.419
 missionaries

00:11:31.419 --> 00:11:31.799
 basically

00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:33.279
 in frontier situations

00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:34.139
 preaching the gospel

00:11:34.139 --> 00:11:35.080
 where the gospel

00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:35.980
 has not been preached

00:11:35.980 --> 00:11:37.620
 and there are people

00:11:37.620 --> 00:11:39.439
 who have prophetic gifts

00:11:39.439 --> 00:11:40.919
 and people who

00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:42.139
 and if the gift

00:11:42.139 --> 00:11:42.860
 is strong enough

00:11:42.860 --> 00:11:43.699
 we recognize them

00:11:43.699 --> 00:11:44.220
 as prophets

00:11:44.220 --> 00:11:46.120
 but Paul's not speaking

00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:47.100
 of those prophets

00:11:47.100 --> 00:11:48.120
 and apostles

00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:48.980
 just any member

00:11:48.980 --> 00:11:49.360
 of the church

00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:49.960
 who has apostolic

00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:50.639
 prophetic gifts

00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:51.659
 he's talking about

00:11:51.659 --> 00:11:52.379
 those people

00:11:52.379 --> 00:11:53.299
 like he mentioned

00:11:53.299 --> 00:11:54.360
 in chapter 2

00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:55.340
 verse 20

00:11:55.340 --> 00:11:56.840
 who had a foundational

00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:57.980
 and authoritative

00:11:57.980 --> 00:11:59.080
 and normative role

00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:00.559
 in establishing the church

00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:01.779
 and proclaiming the gospel

00:12:01.779 --> 00:12:02.720
 once and for all

00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:03.879
 for all future generations

00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:04.700
 he's talking about

00:12:04.700 --> 00:12:05.419
 those prophets

00:12:05.419 --> 00:12:05.939
 and apostles

00:12:05.939 --> 00:12:07.039
 so that's why

00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:08.340
 he said in verse 20

00:12:08.340 --> 00:12:09.019
 of chapter 2

00:12:09.019 --> 00:12:10.019
 that the church

00:12:10.019 --> 00:12:11.919
 is built on the foundation

00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:13.080
 of the apostles

00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:13.700
 and prophets

00:12:13.700 --> 00:12:14.399
 he's referring to

00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:15.200
 the same group

00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:15.679
 of people

00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:16.899
 that he mentioned there

00:12:16.899 --> 00:12:18.860
 and

00:12:18.860 --> 00:12:21.220
 it's surprising

00:12:21.220 --> 00:12:22.120
 to me

00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:23.240
 as I'm thinking about

00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:25.019
 what Paul is saying here

00:12:25.019 --> 00:12:25.820
 because I think

00:12:25.820 --> 00:12:26.559
 as Paul's

00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:27.200
 as this letter

00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:27.840
 is being read

00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:29.039
 in the public worship service

00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:30.019
 setting of Ephesus

00:12:30.019 --> 00:12:30.940
 it would raise

00:12:30.940 --> 00:12:32.080
 not a few eyebrows

00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:33.620
 to read this section

00:12:33.620 --> 00:12:34.080
 of the letter

00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:35.340
 and the reason for that

00:12:35.340 --> 00:12:35.580
 is this

00:12:35.580 --> 00:12:36.879
 because he mentions mystery

00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:38.000
 and that word

00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:38.720
 that concept

00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:39.480
 was prevalent

00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:40.660
 throughout that culture

00:12:40.660 --> 00:12:41.720
 and throughout that time

00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:43.340
 there were many religions

00:12:43.340 --> 00:12:44.540
 in the ancient

00:12:44.540 --> 00:12:45.580
 Greco-Roman context

00:12:45.580 --> 00:12:47.740
 of mystery religions

00:12:47.740 --> 00:12:49.480
 that talked about

00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:50.400
 and boasted about

00:12:50.400 --> 00:12:51.139
 the mysteries

00:12:51.139 --> 00:12:52.379
 to which they initiate

00:12:52.379 --> 00:12:53.180
 their followers

00:12:53.180 --> 00:12:54.379
 their converts

00:12:54.379 --> 00:12:55.759
 for example

00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:56.700
 the cult of ISIS

00:12:56.700 --> 00:12:57.740
 claimed to hold

00:12:57.740 --> 00:12:58.460
 these mysteries

00:12:58.460 --> 00:13:00.000
 and the most prominent

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:01.280
 cult of this time

00:13:01.280 --> 00:13:01.900
 in Ephesus

00:13:01.900 --> 00:13:03.220
 the cult of Artemis

00:13:03.220 --> 00:13:04.740
 was also boasted

00:13:04.740 --> 00:13:05.460
 of mysteries

00:13:05.460 --> 00:13:08.060
 and these cults

00:13:08.060 --> 00:13:09.460
 held their mysteries

00:13:09.460 --> 00:13:10.900
 over their adherents

00:13:10.900 --> 00:13:12.680
 using their secret rights

00:13:12.680 --> 00:13:13.740
 and various stages

00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:14.540
 of initiation

00:13:14.540 --> 00:13:15.940
 both to tantalize

00:13:15.940 --> 00:13:16.540
 people

00:13:16.540 --> 00:13:17.220
 and lure them

00:13:17.220 --> 00:13:18.160
 deeper and deeper

00:13:18.160 --> 00:13:19.560
 on the one hand

00:13:19.560 --> 00:13:20.740
 and then to leverage

00:13:20.740 --> 00:13:21.639
 on the other hand

00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:23.000
 to manipulate people

00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:23.700
 for their purposes

00:13:23.700 --> 00:13:25.440
 I mean just

00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:26.400
 the fact that they have

00:13:26.400 --> 00:13:27.080
 secrets at all

00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:28.220
 is suspicious

00:13:28.220 --> 00:13:30.620
 why are you holding

00:13:30.620 --> 00:13:31.540
 secrets

00:13:31.540 --> 00:13:32.820
 because biblically speaking

00:13:32.820 --> 00:13:35.019
 really only good reason

00:13:35.019 --> 00:13:35.740
 to keep a secret

00:13:35.740 --> 00:13:36.660
 is for the love

00:13:36.660 --> 00:13:37.139
 of neighbor

00:13:37.139 --> 00:13:38.860
 keeping confidentiality

00:13:38.860 --> 00:13:39.940
 for the sake of love

00:13:39.940 --> 00:13:40.840
 for a neighbor

00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:41.600
 or brother or sister

00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:42.519
 that's really the only

00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:43.100
 biblical reason

00:13:43.100 --> 00:13:44.060
 for keeping a secret

00:13:44.060 --> 00:13:45.399
 why in the context

00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:45.920
 of worship

00:13:45.920 --> 00:13:47.080
 would someone

00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:48.160
 withhold those truths

00:13:48.160 --> 00:13:49.980
 it's not biblical

00:13:49.980 --> 00:13:50.440
 I mean even

00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:51.200
 in the context

00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:51.879
 of Exodus

00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:53.379
 Moses goes out

00:13:53.379 --> 00:13:54.000
 and by the hand

00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:54.759
 of the almighty God

00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:55.680
 performs miracles

00:13:55.680 --> 00:13:56.440
 out in the open

00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:57.779
 but it's the Egyptian

00:13:57.779 --> 00:13:58.500
 magicians

00:13:58.500 --> 00:13:59.480
 who replicate them

00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:00.039
 in a limited

00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:01.259
 inferior way

00:14:01.259 --> 00:14:02.259
 by their so-called

00:14:02.259 --> 00:14:03.220
 secret arts

00:14:03.220 --> 00:14:06.059
 even today

00:14:06.059 --> 00:14:06.559
 there are many

00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:07.500
 cults

00:14:07.500 --> 00:14:10.319
 and fraternities

00:14:10.319 --> 00:14:11.679
 that utilize

00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:13.059
 elements of mystery

00:14:13.059 --> 00:14:13.659
 and secrets

00:14:13.659 --> 00:14:14.500
 to attract

00:14:14.500 --> 00:14:15.480
 and retain

00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:16.480
 adherence

00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:17.759
 and if you think

00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:18.079
 about it

00:14:18.079 --> 00:14:18.879
 it's really ingenious

00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:19.480
 because

00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:21.879
 if someone is

00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:22.360
 even remotely

00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:23.459
 curious about it

00:14:23.459 --> 00:14:25.039
 interested in it

00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:25.720
 you can tell them

00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:26.460
 well you can't

00:14:26.460 --> 00:14:26.899
 find out

00:14:26.899 --> 00:14:27.500
 unless you join

00:14:27.500 --> 00:14:27.960
 right

00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:29.779
 and if anyone

00:14:29.779 --> 00:14:30.879
 is at all

00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:31.580
 dissatisfied

00:14:31.580 --> 00:14:32.560
 with what they're

00:14:32.560 --> 00:14:32.820
 getting

00:14:32.820 --> 00:14:33.440
 you could tell

00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:33.800
 them well

00:14:33.800 --> 00:14:34.259
 it's because

00:14:34.259 --> 00:14:34.879
 you haven't

00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:35.460
 really been

00:14:35.460 --> 00:14:36.440
 fully initiated

00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:36.700
 yet

00:14:36.700 --> 00:14:37.700
 there's more

00:14:37.700 --> 00:14:38.540
 you just don't

00:14:38.540 --> 00:14:38.820
 know

00:14:38.820 --> 00:14:39.399
 you have to

00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:39.779
 enter the

00:14:39.779 --> 00:14:40.139
 mysteries

00:14:40.139 --> 00:14:42.139
 so this way

00:14:42.139 --> 00:14:42.600
 they create

00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:43.180
 an illusion

00:14:43.180 --> 00:14:44.080
 of profundity

00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:45.879
 and they keep

00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:46.340
 their cards

00:14:46.340 --> 00:14:46.920
 close to their

00:14:46.920 --> 00:14:47.379
 chest

00:14:47.379 --> 00:14:49.180
 until people

00:14:49.180 --> 00:14:49.560
 are too

00:14:49.560 --> 00:14:50.560
 deeply entrenched

00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:51.319
 and invested

00:14:51.319 --> 00:14:51.899
 to leave

00:14:51.899 --> 00:14:54.799
 and by requiring

00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:55.739
 their initiates

00:14:55.739 --> 00:14:56.639
 to keep secrets

00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:57.919
 they also create

00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:59.699
 this full community

00:14:59.699 --> 00:15:00.419
 right

00:15:00.419 --> 00:15:00.839
 because what

00:15:00.839 --> 00:15:01.279
 they're saying

00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:01.859
 basically is

00:15:01.859 --> 00:15:02.919
 we are in the

00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:03.199
 know

00:15:03.199 --> 00:15:03.879
 we know

00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:04.519
 this secret

00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:05.859
 they don't

00:15:05.859 --> 00:15:07.039
 they're the

00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:07.439
 outsiders

00:15:07.439 --> 00:15:07.879
 they don't

00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:08.039
 know

00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:08.539
 we know

00:15:08.539 --> 00:15:10.619
 and that's

00:15:10.619 --> 00:15:11.219
 how people

00:15:11.219 --> 00:15:11.659
 I mean

00:15:11.659 --> 00:15:12.039
 infiltrate

00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:12.339
 communities

00:15:12.339 --> 00:15:13.239
 they're driving

00:15:13.239 --> 00:15:13.799
 a wedge

00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:14.199
 between

00:15:14.199 --> 00:15:15.059
 them

00:15:15.059 --> 00:15:16.079
 their adherence

00:15:16.079 --> 00:15:16.479
 and their

00:15:16.479 --> 00:15:17.459
 current communities

00:15:17.459 --> 00:15:18.419
 and relationships

00:15:18.419 --> 00:15:18.939
 no keep

00:15:18.939 --> 00:15:19.439
 this from

00:15:19.439 --> 00:15:19.679
 them

00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:20.500
 this is just

00:15:20.500 --> 00:15:21.039
 for us

00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:22.039
 between us

00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:26.339
 if you've

00:15:26.339 --> 00:15:26.779
 ever been

00:15:26.779 --> 00:15:27.659
 attracted to

00:15:27.659 --> 00:15:28.279
 things like

00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:28.620
 this were

00:15:28.620 --> 00:15:29.199
 drawn by

00:15:29.199 --> 00:15:29.779
 curiosity

00:15:29.779 --> 00:15:31.239
 I urge you

00:15:31.239 --> 00:15:31.939
 to be

00:15:31.939 --> 00:15:32.479
 vigilant

00:15:32.479 --> 00:15:33.439
 and to know

00:15:33.439 --> 00:15:33.879
 that in all

00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:34.259
 likelihood

00:15:34.259 --> 00:15:34.819
 communities

00:15:34.819 --> 00:15:35.819
 that emphasize

00:15:35.819 --> 00:15:36.500
 these kind

00:15:36.500 --> 00:15:37.099
 of secrets

00:15:37.099 --> 00:15:37.859
 mysteries

00:15:37.859 --> 00:15:38.539
 so to speak

00:15:38.539 --> 00:15:40.299
 will probably

00:15:40.299 --> 00:15:40.919
 in all likelihood

00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:41.719
 compete with

00:15:41.719 --> 00:15:42.079
 the church

00:15:42.079 --> 00:15:42.419
 and vie

00:15:42.419 --> 00:15:42.659
 for your

00:15:42.659 --> 00:15:43.019
 allegiance

00:15:43.019 --> 00:15:43.379
 to the

00:15:43.379 --> 00:15:43.599
 Lord

00:15:43.599 --> 00:15:45.459
 and so

00:15:45.459 --> 00:15:45.979
 Paul's use

00:15:45.979 --> 00:15:46.159
 of the

00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:46.379
 language

00:15:46.379 --> 00:15:46.939
 of mystery

00:15:46.939 --> 00:15:47.359
 would have

00:15:47.359 --> 00:15:47.659
 been

00:15:47.659 --> 00:15:49.039
 curious

00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:49.360
 it would

00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:49.480
 have

00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:49.779
 made

00:15:49.779 --> 00:15:49.919
 the

00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:50.219
 Ephesians

00:15:50.219 --> 00:15:50.779
 perk up

00:15:50.779 --> 00:15:51.779
 but Paul's

00:15:51.779 --> 00:15:52.379
 not using

00:15:52.379 --> 00:15:53.179
 that just

00:15:53.179 --> 00:15:53.620
 to be

00:15:53.620 --> 00:15:54.099
 relevant

00:15:54.099 --> 00:15:54.980
 or to

00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:55.579
 divulge a

00:15:55.579 --> 00:15:55.839
 mystery

00:15:55.839 --> 00:15:56.179
 that only

00:15:56.179 --> 00:15:56.579
 a select

00:15:56.579 --> 00:15:57.159
 few will

00:15:57.159 --> 00:15:57.419
 know

00:15:57.419 --> 00:15:57.879
 as other

00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:58.219
 religions

00:15:58.219 --> 00:15:58.480
 did

00:15:58.480 --> 00:15:59.039
 but in

00:15:59.039 --> 00:15:59.659
 order to

00:15:59.659 --> 00:15:59.919
 issue

00:15:59.919 --> 00:16:00.459
 a decisive

00:16:00.459 --> 00:16:01.000
 challenge

00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:01.419
 to those

00:16:01.419 --> 00:16:01.839
 mystery

00:16:01.839 --> 00:16:02.539
 religions

00:16:02.539 --> 00:16:03.259
 so what

00:16:03.259 --> 00:16:03.599
 is Paul

00:16:03.599 --> 00:16:03.879
 saying

00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:04.039
 here

00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:04.519
 you have

00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:04.939
 mysteries

00:16:04.939 --> 00:16:05.439
 well guess

00:16:05.439 --> 00:16:05.839
 what

00:16:05.839 --> 00:16:06.719
 Christ

00:16:06.719 --> 00:16:07.120
 is the

00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:07.500
 ultimate

00:16:07.500 --> 00:16:07.980
 mystery

00:16:07.980 --> 00:16:09.139
 you have

00:16:09.139 --> 00:16:09.500
 mysteries

00:16:09.500 --> 00:16:09.860
 in your

00:16:09.860 --> 00:16:10.259
 religion

00:16:10.259 --> 00:16:10.639
 because

00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:11.319
 Christ

00:16:11.319 --> 00:16:11.659
 is the

00:16:11.659 --> 00:16:12.179
 definitive

00:16:12.179 --> 00:16:12.860
 revelation

00:16:12.860 --> 00:16:13.459
 of God

00:16:13.459 --> 00:16:14.279
 and we

00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:14.819
 have no

00:16:14.819 --> 00:16:15.219
 need

00:16:15.219 --> 00:16:16.019
 for inferior

00:16:16.019 --> 00:16:17.299
 additional

00:16:17.299 --> 00:16:18.439
 pseudo mystery

00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:18.800
 because

00:16:18.800 --> 00:16:19.440
 Christ

00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:19.920
 is

00:16:19.920 --> 00:16:20.400
 sufficient

00:16:20.400 --> 00:16:20.780
 and his

00:16:20.780 --> 00:16:21.320
 gospel

00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:22.540
 has been

00:16:22.540 --> 00:16:23.280
 revealed

00:16:23.280 --> 00:16:24.600
 once and

00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:24.980
 for all

00:16:24.980 --> 00:16:25.560
 that's what

00:16:25.560 --> 00:16:25.940
 Paul is

00:16:25.940 --> 00:16:26.080
 doing

00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:26.360
 he's

00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:26.900
 issuing

00:16:26.900 --> 00:16:27.100
 this

00:16:27.100 --> 00:16:27.600
 challenge

00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:28.800
 to those

00:16:28.800 --> 00:16:29.160
 people

00:16:29.160 --> 00:16:30.940
 and there

00:16:30.940 --> 00:16:31.800
 is an

00:16:31.800 --> 00:16:32.440
 institution

00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:33.340
 that's

00:16:33.340 --> 00:16:33.760
 going to

00:16:33.760 --> 00:16:34.620
 far outlast

00:16:34.620 --> 00:16:35.140
 any of

00:16:35.140 --> 00:16:35.360
 those

00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:35.840
 and has

00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:36.060
 far

00:16:36.060 --> 00:16:36.340
 lasted

00:16:36.340 --> 00:16:36.740
 and will

00:16:36.740 --> 00:16:37.700
 outlast

00:16:37.700 --> 00:16:38.360
 all those

00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:39.000
 false

00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:39.540
 religions

00:16:39.540 --> 00:16:40.560
 and that's

00:16:40.560 --> 00:16:41.200
 the family

00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:41.640
 right

00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:43.819
 and the

00:16:43.819 --> 00:16:44.299
 church

00:16:44.299 --> 00:16:46.240
 bonded

00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:46.699
 by the

00:16:46.699 --> 00:16:46.879
 blood

00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:47.000
 of

00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:47.279
 Christ

00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:47.580
 is

00:16:47.580 --> 00:16:47.919
 an

00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:48.080
 even

00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:48.759
 stronger

00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:49.740
 permanent

00:16:49.740 --> 00:16:50.399
 enduring

00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:51.299
 family

00:16:51.299 --> 00:16:51.759
 and that's

00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:52.000
 why

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:52.439
 Paul

00:16:52.439 --> 00:16:52.860
 uses

00:16:52.860 --> 00:16:53.080
 that

00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:53.379
 language

00:16:53.379 --> 00:16:53.559
 of

00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:53.799
 family

00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:54.080
 here

00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:54.639
 head

00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:54.759
 of

00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:55.139
 household

00:16:55.139 --> 00:16:55.379
 is

00:16:55.379 --> 00:16:55.799
 God

00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:56.360
 he has

00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:56.519
 a

00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:56.759
 family

00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:57.120
 plan

00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:57.299
 to

00:16:57.299 --> 00:16:57.419
 build

00:16:57.419 --> 00:16:57.539
 a

00:16:57.539 --> 00:16:57.939
 household

00:16:57.939 --> 00:16:58.159
 and

00:16:58.159 --> 00:16:58.399
 Paul

00:16:58.399 --> 00:16:58.539
 is

00:16:58.539 --> 00:16:58.699
 one

00:16:58.699 --> 00:16:58.799
 of

 those

00:17:00.699 --> 00:17:01.000

00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:01.379
 earlier

00:17:01.379 --> 00:17:04.359
 and no

00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:04.859
 stages

00:17:04.859 --> 00:17:05.099
 of

00:17:05.099 --> 00:17:05.619
 initiation

 that's

00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:21.619
 what

00:17:21.619 --> 00:17:21.759
 we

00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:22.019
 have

 and

00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:22.619
 Christ

 is

 all

00:17:23.180 --> 00:17:23.339
 that

00:17:23.339 --> 00:17:23.500
 we

00:17:23.940 --> 00:17:24.259
 and

00:17:24.259 --> 00:17:24.440
 he's

00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:24.700
 more

00:17:24.700 --> 00:17:24.940
 than

00:17:24.940 --> 00:17:25.539
 enough

00:17:25.539 --> 00:17:26.440
 that's

00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:26.599
 the

00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:27.140
 revelation

00:17:32.859 --> 00:17:33.339
 Paul

00:17:33.339 --> 00:17:33.839
 tells

00:17:35.619 --> 00:17:36.039
 of

00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:36.159
 the

00:17:36.159 --> 00:17:36.479
 mystery

00:20:56.759 --> 00:20:56.980
 God

00:20:56.980 --> 00:20:57.279
 raised

00:21:02.140 --> 00:21:06.339
 that's

00:21:06.339 --> 00:21:06.819
 amazing

00:21:06.819 --> 00:21:07.460
 because

00:21:07.460 --> 00:21:07.920
 that means

00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:08.559
 we need

00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:08.839
 to pray

00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:09.120
 hard

00:21:09.120 --> 00:21:09.380
 for

00:21:12.500 --> 00:21:12.819
 yeah

00:21:12.819 --> 00:21:13.140
 sure

00:21:13.140 --> 00:21:13.559
 we can

00:21:13.559 --> 00:21:13.980
 assess

00:21:13.980 --> 00:21:14.200
 them

00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:14.519
 we can

00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:14.759
 train

00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:15.140
 them

00:21:15.140 --> 00:21:18.720
 but

00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:19.059
 God

00:21:19.059 --> 00:21:19.299
 has

00:21:19.299 --> 00:21:19.440
 to

00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:19.640
 make

00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:19.920

00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:24.180
 it's

00:21:24.180 --> 00:21:24.380

00:22:50.159 --> 00:22:50.519
 this

00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:51.139
 to

00:22:51.139 --> 00:22:51.480
 Paul

00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:51.879
 is

00:22:51.879 --> 00:22:52.219
 a

00:22:52.219 --> 00:22:52.579
 wonderful

00:22:52.579 --> 00:22:53.720
 grace

00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:54.159
 that's

00:22:54.159 --> 00:22:54.419
 why

00:22:54.419 --> 00:22:54.879
 he

00:22:54.879 --> 00:22:55.579
 marvels

00:22:55.579 --> 00:22:55.720
 at

00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:55.919
 it

00:22:55.919 --> 00:22:56.960
 and

00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:57.259
 all

00:22:57.259 --> 00:22:57.379
 of

00:22:57.379 --> 00:22:57.539
 us

00:22:57.539 --> 00:22:57.720
 can

00:22:57.720 --> 00:22:58.000
 marvel

00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:58.159
 at

00:22:58.159 --> 00:22:58.279
 the

00:22:58.279 --> 00:22:58.460
 fact

00:22:58.460 --> 00:22:58.659
 that

00:22:58.659 --> 00:22:58.859
 God

00:22:58.859 --> 00:22:59.379
 calls

00:22:59.379 --> 00:22:59.599
 us

00:22:59.599 --> 00:22:59.759
 and

00:22:59.759 --> 00:22:59.919
 he

00:22:59.919 --> 00:23:00.119
 wants

00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:00.279
 to

00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:00.679
 use

00:23:00.679 --> 00:23:00.879
 us

00:23:00.879 --> 00:23:00.980
 and

00:23:00.980 --> 00:23:01.119
 so

00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:01.259
 he

00:23:01.259 --> 00:23:01.519
 says

00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:02.000
 to

00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:02.480
 me

00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:02.699
 in

00:23:02.699 --> 00:23:02.879
 verse

00:23:02.879 --> 00:23:03.079
 eight

00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:03.319
 though

00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:03.579
 I

00:23:03.579 --> 00:23:03.879
 am

00:23:03.879 --> 00:23:04.279
 the

00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:04.639
 very

00:23:04.639 --> 00:23:05.259
 least

00:23:05.259 --> 00:23:05.699
 of

00:23:05.699 --> 00:23:06.039
 all

00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:06.279
 the

00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:06.579
 saints

00:23:06.579 --> 00:23:06.899
 this

00:23:06.899 --> 00:23:07.319
 grace

00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:07.579
 was

00:23:07.579 --> 00:23:07.899
 given

00:23:07.899 --> 00:23:08.339
 to

00:23:08.339 --> 00:23:08.740
 preach

00:23:08.740 --> 00:23:08.960
 the

00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:09.439
 Gentiles

00:23:09.439 --> 00:23:09.639
 the

00:23:09.639 --> 00:23:10.339
 unsearchable

00:23:10.339 --> 00:23:10.720
 riches

00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:11.279
 of

00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:11.740
 Christ

00:23:11.740 --> 00:23:13.159
 the

00:23:13.159 --> 00:23:13.399
 word

00:23:13.399 --> 00:23:13.980
 translated

00:23:13.980 --> 00:23:14.419
 very

00:23:14.419 --> 00:23:14.919
 least

00:23:14.919 --> 00:23:15.460
 here

00:23:15.460 --> 00:23:15.740
 is

00:23:15.740 --> 00:23:16.559
 actually

00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:16.839
 a

00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:17.039
 made

00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:17.240
 up

00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:17.500
 word

00:23:17.500 --> 00:23:18.199
 Paul

00:23:18.199 --> 00:23:18.639
 most

00:23:22.579 --> 00:23:23.220
 superlative

00:23:23.220 --> 00:23:25.000
 so

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:25.299
 it's

00:23:25.299 --> 00:23:25.599
 like

00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:26.399
 least

00:23:26.399 --> 00:23:27.199
 right

00:23:27.199 --> 00:23:27.679
 so

00:23:27.679 --> 00:23:27.819
 it's

00:23:27.819 --> 00:23:28.039
 like

00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:28.519
 you

00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:28.720
 think

00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:28.960
 you're

00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:29.319
 humble

00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:29.659
 you're

00:23:29.659 --> 00:23:29.779
 the

00:23:29.779 --> 00:23:30.399
 least

00:23:30.399 --> 00:23:30.639
 among

00:23:30.639 --> 00:23:31.000
 all

00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:31.139
 the

00:23:31.139 --> 00:23:31.299
 saints

00:23:31.299 --> 00:23:31.519
 guess

00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:31.679
 what

00:23:31.679 --> 00:23:31.879
 I'm

00:23:31.879 --> 00:23:32.220
 least

00:23:32.220 --> 00:23:33.139
 right

00:23:33.139 --> 00:23:33.379
 Paul

00:23:33.379 --> 00:23:33.659
 saying

00:23:33.659 --> 00:23:34.079
 he's

00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:34.199
 the

00:23:34.199 --> 00:23:34.659
 least

00:23:34.659 --> 00:23:35.079
 the

00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:35.460
 very

00:23:35.460 --> 00:23:36.000
 least

00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:36.500
 of

00:23:36.500 --> 00:23:36.859
 all

00:23:36.859 --> 00:23:37.099
 the

00:23:37.099 --> 00:23:37.480
 saints

00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:38.139
 I

00:23:38.139 --> 00:23:38.279
 mean

00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:38.619
 it's

00:23:38.619 --> 00:23:38.960
 and

00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:39.419
 Paul

00:23:39.419 --> 00:23:39.579
 I

00:23:39.579 --> 00:23:39.720
 don't

00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:39.919
 think

00:23:39.919 --> 00:23:40.339
 this

00:23:40.339 --> 00:23:40.480
 is

00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:40.799
 false

00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:41.179
 humility

00:23:41.179 --> 00:23:41.299
 I

00:23:41.299 --> 00:23:41.399
 don't

00:23:41.399 --> 00:23:41.500
 think

00:23:41.500 --> 00:23:41.679
 he's

00:23:41.679 --> 00:23:42.059
 feigning

00:23:42.059 --> 00:23:42.460
 humility

00:23:42.460 --> 00:23:42.639
 I

00:23:42.639 --> 00:23:42.779
 think

00:23:42.779 --> 00:23:43.019
 this

00:23:43.019 --> 00:23:43.159
 is

00:23:43.159 --> 00:23:43.299
 a

00:23:43.299 --> 00:23:43.659
 genuine

00:23:43.659 --> 00:23:45.019
 confession

00:23:45.019 --> 00:23:45.279
 of

00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:45.399
 his

00:23:45.399 --> 00:23:45.579
 heart

00:23:45.579 --> 00:23:45.799
 because

00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:46.000
 he's

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:46.439
 grateful

00:23:46.439 --> 00:23:46.720
 he's

00:23:52.579 --> 00:23:52.919
 him

00:23:52.919 --> 00:23:53.159
 a

00:23:53.159 --> 00:23:53.639
 steward

00:23:53.639 --> 00:23:54.319
 of

00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:54.539
 this

00:23:54.539 --> 00:23:54.779
 great

00:23:54.779 --> 00:23:55.199
 mystery

00:23:55.199 --> 00:23:57.099
 it's

00:23:57.099 --> 00:23:57.399
 really

00:23:57.399 --> 00:23:57.559
 the

00:23:57.559 --> 00:23:57.759
 most

00:23:57.759 --> 00:23:58.279
 emphatic

00:23:58.279 --> 00:23:58.500
 way

00:23:58.500 --> 00:23:58.639
 that

00:23:58.639 --> 00:23:58.799
 Paul

00:23:58.799 --> 00:23:58.980
 can

00:23:58.980 --> 00:23:59.179
 say

00:23:59.179 --> 00:23:59.460
 that

00:23:59.460 --> 00:24:00.199
 and

00:24:00.199 --> 00:24:00.740
 so

00:24:00.740 --> 00:24:01.159
 that's

00:24:01.159 --> 00:24:01.519
 something

00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:01.839
 that we

00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:02.099
 should

00:24:02.099 --> 00:24:02.579
 also

00:24:02.579 --> 00:24:03.039
 marvel

00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:03.279
 at

00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:03.599
 God

00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:04.220
 wants

00:24:04.220 --> 00:24:04.439
 to

00:24:04.439 --> 00:24:04.859
 use

00:24:04.859 --> 00:24:05.679
 us

00:24:05.679 --> 00:24:06.460
 God

00:24:06.460 --> 00:24:06.819
 made

00:24:06.819 --> 00:24:07.579
 us

00:24:07.579 --> 00:24:09.059
 stewards

00:24:09.059 --> 00:24:10.199
 ministers

00:24:10.199 --> 00:24:11.399
 of the

00:24:11.399 --> 00:24:11.799
 gospel

00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:16.039
 if you

00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:16.220
 think

00:24:16.220 --> 00:24:16.599
 about it

00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:16.939
 more

00:24:16.939 --> 00:24:17.319
 it's

00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:17.980
 a

00:24:17.980 --> 00:24:18.359
 further

00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:18.759
 grace

00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:19.299
 it is

00:24:19.299 --> 00:24:19.599
 more

00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:20.119
 amazing

00:24:20.119 --> 00:24:20.960
 because

00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:21.319
 God

00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:21.519
 could

00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:21.879
 save

00:24:21.879 --> 00:24:22.179
 us

00:24:22.180 --> 00:24:22.360
 and

00:24:22.360 --> 00:24:22.759
 choose

00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:23.019
 not

00:24:23.019 --> 00:24:23.180
 to

00:24:23.180 --> 00:24:24.279
 have

00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:24.519
 anything

00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:24.700
 more

00:24:24.700 --> 00:24:24.799
 to

00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:24.880
 do

00:24:24.880 --> 00:24:25.039
 with

00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:25.400
 us

00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:31.080
 but

00:24:31.080 --> 00:24:31.360
 there's

00:24:31.360 --> 00:24:32.519
 amazing

00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:32.880
 grace

00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:33.060
 seen

00:24:33.060 --> 00:24:33.259
 in the

00:24:33.259 --> 00:24:33.380
 fact

00:24:33.380 --> 00:24:33.539
 that

00:24:33.539 --> 00:24:33.779
 God

00:24:33.779 --> 00:24:34.080
 not

00:24:34.080 --> 00:24:34.320
 only

00:24:34.320 --> 00:24:34.940
 forgives

00:24:34.940 --> 00:24:35.400
 Peter

00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:35.920
 who

00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:36.240
 denied

00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:36.400
 him

00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:36.580
 three

00:24:36.580 --> 00:24:37.000
 times

00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:37.840
 but

00:24:37.840 --> 00:24:38.039
 he

00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:38.900
 reinstates

00:24:38.900 --> 00:24:39.200
 him

00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:39.560
 to

00:24:39.560 --> 00:24:39.880
 serve

00:24:39.880 --> 00:24:40.320
 as

00:24:40.320 --> 00:24:40.840
 leader

00:24:40.840 --> 00:24:41.080
 among

00:24:41.080 --> 00:24:41.220
 the

00:24:41.220 --> 00:24:41.620
 apostles

00:24:41.620 --> 00:24:41.980
 isn't

00:24:41.980 --> 00:24:42.180
 there

00:24:42.180 --> 00:24:45.400
 Charles

00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:45.880
 Spurgeon

00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:46.299
 once

00:24:46.299 --> 00:24:46.720
 expressed

00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:47.160
 a similar

00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:47.600
 sentiment

00:24:47.600 --> 00:24:47.920
 he

00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:48.200
 writes

00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:49.019
 I

00:24:49.019 --> 00:24:49.160
 have

00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:49.560
 always

00:24:49.560 --> 00:24:50.019
 felt

00:24:50.019 --> 00:24:50.620
 in my

00:24:50.620 --> 00:24:50.860
 own

00:24:50.860 --> 00:24:51.180
 mind

00:24:51.180 --> 00:24:51.799
 that

00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:52.019
 it was

00:24:52.019 --> 00:24:52.240
 one

00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:52.319
 of

00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:52.480
 the

00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:53.000
 clearest

00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:53.579
 proofs

00:24:53.579 --> 00:24:53.720
 that

00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:53.859
 I

00:24:53.859 --> 00:24:54.039
 had

00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:54.399
 God's

00:24:54.399 --> 00:24:54.779
 forgiveness

00:24:54.779 --> 00:24:55.099
 of

00:24:55.099 --> 00:24:55.259
 my

00:24:55.259 --> 00:24:55.500
 many

00:24:55.500 --> 00:24:55.879
 sins

00:24:55.879 --> 00:24:56.539
 when

00:24:56.539 --> 00:24:56.639
 I

00:24:56.639 --> 00:24:56.819
 was

00:24:56.819 --> 00:24:57.299
 trusted

00:24:57.299 --> 00:24:57.579
 to

00:24:57.579 --> 00:24:57.799
 preach

00:24:57.799 --> 00:24:57.960
 the

00:24:57.960 --> 00:24:58.299
 gospel

00:24:58.299 --> 00:25:00.180
 I

00:25:00.180 --> 00:25:00.359
 should

00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:00.659
 think

00:25:00.659 --> 00:25:00.879
 that

00:25:00.879 --> 00:25:01.059
 if

00:25:01.059 --> 00:25:01.200
 a

00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:01.680
 prodigal

00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:01.980
 came

00:25:01.980 --> 00:25:02.240
 back

00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:02.379
 to

00:25:02.379 --> 00:25:02.539
 his

00:25:02.539 --> 00:25:02.919
 father

00:25:02.919 --> 00:25:03.339
 the

00:25:03.339 --> 00:25:03.559
 old

00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:03.960
 gentleman

00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:04.200
 would

00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:04.500
 kiss

00:25:04.500 --> 00:25:04.759
 him

00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:04.899
 and

00:25:04.899 --> 00:25:05.279
 receive

00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:05.579
 him

00:25:05.579 --> 00:25:05.720
 and

00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:06.079
 rejoice

00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:06.519
 greatly

00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:06.819
 over

00:25:06.819 --> 00:25:07.119
 him

00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:07.659
 but

00:25:07.659 --> 00:25:07.799
 the

00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:08.019
 next

00:25:08.019 --> 00:25:08.460
 Saturday

00:25:10.619 --> 00:25:10.839
 gentleman

00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:11.059
 would

00:25:11.059 --> 00:25:11.379
 say

00:25:11.379 --> 00:25:12.299
 oh I

00:25:12.299 --> 00:25:12.480

00:25:13.899 --> 00:25:14.639
 they'll

00:25:14.639 --> 00:25:14.919
 be putting

00:25:14.919 --> 00:25:15.399
 temptation

00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:22.079
 have

00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:24.799
 with

00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:25.039
 me

00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:27.059
 he

00:25:27.059 --> 00:25:27.240
 might

00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:27.419
 not

00:25:27.419 --> 00:25:27.579
 let

00:25:27.579 --> 00:25:27.680
 him

00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:28.000
 see

00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:28.339
 all

00:25:28.339 --> 00:25:28.519
 that

00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:28.659
 he

00:25:28.659 --> 00:25:28.980
 meant

00:25:28.980 --> 00:25:29.480
 but

00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:29.579
 he

00:25:29.579 --> 00:25:29.720
 would

00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:29.919
 say

00:25:29.919 --> 00:25:30.079
 to

00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:30.559
 himself

00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:31.859
 is

00:25:31.859 --> 00:25:32.200
 hardly

00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:32.659
 fit

00:25:32.659 --> 00:25:32.899
 for

00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:37.519
 trust

00:25:37.700 --> 00:25:37.839
 as

00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:38.059
 much

00:25:38.059 --> 00:25:38.259
 as

00:25:38.259 --> 00:25:38.559

 Christians

00:28:57.140 --> 00:28:59.779
 we

00:28:59.779 --> 00:29:00.200
 worry

00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:01.480
 that

00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:01.840
 we've

00:29:01.840 --> 00:29:01.960
 been

00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:02.600
 drawing

00:29:02.600 --> 00:29:02.880
 too

00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:03.140
 much

00:29:03.140 --> 00:29:03.360

 we

00:29:07.060 --> 00:29:07.740
 worry

00:29:07.740 --> 00:29:08.079
 that

00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:08.980
 soon

00:29:08.980 --> 00:29:09.299
 enough

00:29:09.299 --> 00:29:09.460
 I'm

00:29:09.460 --> 00:29:09.559
 going

 I'm

00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:11.880
 going

00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:12.000
 to

 be

00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:12.799
 slammed

00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:13.039
 with

 this

00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:13.900
 insurmountable

00:29:13.900 --> 00:29:14.319
 debt

00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:20.779
 we

00:29:20.779 --> 00:29:20.960
 think

00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:21.099
 our

00:29:21.099 --> 00:29:21.519
 problems

00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:21.680
 are

00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:21.880
 too

00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:22.240
 big

00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:23.279
 our

00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:23.700
 past

00:29:23.700 --> 00:29:23.900
 is

00:29:23.900 --> 00:29:24.079
 too

00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:24.559
 dark

00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:25.500
 our

00:29:25.500 --> 00:29:26.019
 sins

00:29:26.019 --> 00:29:26.299
 are

00:29:26.299 --> 00:29:26.640
 too

00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:27.299
 grave

00:29:27.299 --> 00:29:27.599
 for

00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:27.960
 God

00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:29.559
 sure

00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:29.819
 maybe

00:29:29.819 --> 00:29:29.940
 he

00:29:29.940 --> 00:29:30.059
 will

00:29:30.059 --> 00:29:30.339
 save

00:29:30.339 --> 00:29:30.759
 us

00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:31.680

00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:32.319
 there's

00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:32.599

 no

00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:33.140
 chance

00:29:33.140 --> 00:29:33.259

00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:29.000
 these

00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:29.279
 are

00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:29.839
 hostile

00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:30.400
 forces

00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:30.759
 forces

00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:31.000
 that

00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:31.539
 opposed

00:32:31.539 --> 00:32:32.079
 God

00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:43.759
 I wish

00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:48.099
 I had

00:32:48.099 --> 00:32:48.539
 the

00:32:48.539 --> 00:32:48.839
 reference

00:32:48.839 --> 00:32:49.240
 for this

00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:49.519
 but

00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:51.019
 I'm

00:32:51.019 --> 00:32:51.940
 noticing

00:32:51.940 --> 00:32:52.160
 that

00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:52.359
 every

00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:52.579
 other

00:32:52.579 --> 00:32:52.880
 page

00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:52.980
 of

00:32:52.980 --> 00:32:53.140
 my

00:32:53.140 --> 00:32:53.339
 sermon

00:32:53.339 --> 00:32:53.539
 is

00:32:53.539 --> 00:32:53.740
 cut

00:32:53.740 --> 00:32:53.960
 off

00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:54.319
 halfway

00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:54.500
 at

00:32:54.500 --> 00:32:54.599
 the

00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:54.779
 bottom

00:32:54.779 --> 00:32:54.980
 at

00:32:54.980 --> 00:32:55.079
 the

00:32:55.079 --> 00:32:55.299
 top

00:32:55.299 --> 00:32:55.599
 so

00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:56.200
 I

00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:56.339
 think

00:32:56.339 --> 00:32:56.419
 it

00:32:56.419 --> 00:32:56.500
 was

00:32:56.500 --> 00:32:56.659
 my

00:32:56.659 --> 00:32:57.000
 printer

00:32:57.000 --> 00:32:58.440
 but

00:32:58.440 --> 00:32:59.500
 I

00:32:59.500 --> 00:32:59.619
 don't

00:32:59.619 --> 00:32:59.740
 know

00:32:59.740 --> 00:32:59.879
 what

00:32:59.879 --> 00:33:00.200
 happened

00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:00.460
 but

00:33:00.460 --> 00:33:00.759
 so

00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:00.899
 I

00:33:00.899 --> 00:33:01.180
 have

00:33:01.180 --> 00:33:01.379
 a

00:33:01.379 --> 00:33:01.720
 partial

00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:02.339
 quote

00:33:02.339 --> 00:33:02.519
 here

00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:02.740
 from

00:33:02.740 --> 00:33:02.980
 1

00:33:02.980 --> 00:33:03.419
 Corinthians

00:33:03.419 --> 00:33:04.220
 I

00:33:04.220 --> 00:33:04.419
 think

00:33:04.419 --> 00:33:04.599
 it's

00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:04.819
 from

00:33:04.819 --> 00:33:05.079
 chapter

00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:05.480
 9

00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:05.799
 but

00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:07.119
 it

00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:07.559
 talks

00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:07.779
 about

00:33:07.779 --> 00:33:07.940
 the

00:33:07.940 --> 00:33:08.419
 angels

00:33:08.419 --> 00:33:09.079
 and

00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:09.819
 these

00:33:09.819 --> 00:33:10.159
 hostile

00:33:10.159 --> 00:33:10.500
 angels

00:33:10.500 --> 00:33:10.839
 and how

00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:11.099
 God

00:33:11.099 --> 00:33:11.460
 revealed

00:33:11.460 --> 00:33:11.639
 his

00:33:11.639 --> 00:33:12.039
 glory

00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:12.259
 to

00:33:12.259 --> 00:33:12.460
 them

00:33:12.460 --> 00:33:12.980
 and

00:33:12.980 --> 00:33:13.099
 I'll

00:33:13.099 --> 00:33:13.240
 just

00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:13.440
 read

00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:13.599
 the

00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:13.819
 part

00:33:13.819 --> 00:33:14.119
 that

00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:14.220
 I

00:33:14.220 --> 00:33:14.419
 have

00:33:14.419 --> 00:33:14.559
 here

00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:14.659
 it

00:33:14.659 --> 00:33:14.700
 is

00:33:14.700 --> 00:33:14.960
 although

00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:15.139
 it

00:33:15.139 --> 00:33:15.259
 is

00:33:15.259 --> 00:33:15.539
 not

00:33:15.539 --> 00:33:15.740
 a

00:33:15.740 --> 00:33:16.000
 wisdom

00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:16.200
 of

00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:16.399
 this

00:33:16.399 --> 00:33:16.779
 age

00:33:16.779 --> 00:33:17.180
 or

00:33:17.180 --> 00:33:17.359
 of

00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:17.519
 the

00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:17.799
 rulers

00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:18.000
 of

00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:18.200
 this

00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:18.500
 age

00:33:18.500 --> 00:33:18.659
 who

00:33:18.659 --> 00:33:18.799
 are

00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:19.059
 doomed

00:33:19.059 --> 00:33:19.279
 to

00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:19.539
 pass

00:33:19.539 --> 00:33:19.859
 away

00:33:19.859 --> 00:33:20.299
 but

00:33:20.299 --> 00:33:20.440
 we

00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:20.879
 impart

00:33:20.879 --> 00:33:21.139
 a

00:33:21.139 --> 00:33:21.539
 secret

00:33:21.539 --> 00:33:21.759
 and

00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:21.960
 hidden

00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:22.399
 wisdom

00:33:22.399 --> 00:33:22.619
 of

00:33:22.619 --> 00:33:22.879
 God

00:33:22.879 --> 00:33:23.299
 which

00:33:23.299 --> 00:33:23.639
 God

00:33:23.639 --> 00:33:24.139
 decreed

00:33:24.139 --> 00:33:24.460
 before

00:33:24.460 --> 00:33:24.680
 the

00:33:24.680 --> 00:33:25.079
 ages

00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:25.359
 for

00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:25.579
 our

00:33:25.579 --> 00:33:26.079
 glory

00:33:26.079 --> 00:33:27.419
 none

00:33:27.419 --> 00:33:27.599
 of

00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:27.779
 the

00:33:27.779 --> 00:33:28.159
 rulers

00:33:28.159 --> 00:33:28.460
 of

00:33:28.460 --> 00:33:28.639
 this

00:33:28.639 --> 00:33:28.859
 age

00:33:28.859 --> 00:33:29.240
 understood

00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:29.619
 this

00:33:29.619 --> 00:33:29.759
 for

00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:29.859
 if

00:33:29.859 --> 00:33:30.019
 they

00:33:30.019 --> 00:33:30.379
 had

00:33:30.379 --> 00:33:30.819
 they

00:33:30.819 --> 00:33:31.000
 would

00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:31.359
 not

00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:31.559
 have

00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:32.139
 crucified

00:33:32.139 --> 00:33:32.819
 the

00:33:32.819 --> 00:33:33.220
 Lord

00:33:33.220 --> 00:33:33.619
 of

00:33:33.619 --> 00:33:34.019
 glory

00:33:34.019 --> 00:33:34.240
 so

00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:34.720
 you

00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:34.919
 kind

00:33:34.919 --> 00:33:35.000
 of

00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:35.960
 understand

00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:36.159
 this

00:33:36.159 --> 00:33:36.359
 gives

00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:36.879
 context

00:33:36.879 --> 00:33:37.159
 to

00:33:37.159 --> 00:33:37.319
 what

00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:37.519
 Paul

00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:37.599
 is

00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:37.740
 trying

00:33:37.740 --> 00:33:37.859
 to

00:33:37.859 --> 00:33:38.039
 say

00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:38.319
 here

00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:38.879
 how

00:33:38.879 --> 00:33:39.059
 did

00:33:39.059 --> 00:33:39.279
 God

00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:39.759
 showcase

00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:39.919
 his

00:33:39.919 --> 00:33:40.240
 manifold

00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:40.720
 wisdom

00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:41.319
 to

00:33:41.319 --> 00:33:41.620
 the

00:33:41.620 --> 00:33:42.079
 rulers

00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:42.279
 and

00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:42.660
 authorities

00:33:42.660 --> 00:33:42.839
 in

00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:42.920
 the

00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:43.120
 heavenly

00:33:43.120 --> 00:33:43.579
 places

00:33:43.579 --> 00:33:44.299
 this

00:33:44.299 --> 00:33:44.440
 is

00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:44.600
 what

00:33:44.600 --> 00:33:44.880
 happened

00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:45.120
 these

00:33:45.120 --> 00:33:45.600
 hostile

00:33:45.600 --> 00:33:46.120
 angelic

00:33:46.120 --> 00:33:46.460
 forces

00:33:46.460 --> 00:33:47.079
 wanted

00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:47.279
 to

00:33:47.279 --> 00:33:47.839
 frustrate

00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:48.160
 God's

00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:48.440
 plan

00:33:48.440 --> 00:33:48.600
 they

00:33:48.600 --> 00:33:48.759
 wanted

00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:48.880
 to

00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:49.299
 oppose

00:33:49.299 --> 00:33:49.579
 him

00:33:49.579 --> 00:33:50.019
 so

00:33:50.019 --> 00:33:50.240
 they

00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:51.400
 led

00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:51.740
 Jesus

00:33:51.740 --> 00:33:52.100
 Christ

00:33:52.100 --> 00:33:52.259
 to

00:33:52.259 --> 00:33:52.360
 the

00:33:52.360 --> 00:33:52.700
 cross

00:33:52.700 --> 00:33:53.579
 they

00:33:53.579 --> 00:33:53.960
 used

00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:54.400
 the

00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:54.640
 things

00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:54.759
 that

00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:54.839
 were

00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:54.940
 the

00:33:54.940 --> 00:33:55.240
 powers

00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:55.360
 that

00:33:55.360 --> 00:33:55.440
 were

00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:55.559
 at

00:33:55.559 --> 00:33:55.660
 their

00:33:55.660 --> 00:33:56.120
 disposal

00:33:56.120 --> 00:33:56.539
 and

00:33:56.539 --> 00:33:56.680
 they

00:33:56.680 --> 00:33:57.000
 led

00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:57.440
 him

00:33:57.440 --> 00:33:57.740
 to

00:33:57.740 --> 00:33:57.980
 the

00:33:57.980 --> 00:33:58.259
 cross

00:33:58.259 --> 00:33:58.360
 and

00:33:58.360 --> 00:33:58.460
 they

00:33:58.460 --> 00:33:58.720
 had

00:33:58.720 --> 00:33:58.839
 him

00:33:58.839 --> 00:33:59.380
 crucified

00:33:59.380 --> 00:33:59.980
 at

00:33:59.980 --> 00:34:00.120
 the

00:34:00.120 --> 00:34:00.460
 hands

00:34:00.460 --> 00:34:00.680
 of

00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:01.120
 sinners

00:34:01.120 --> 00:34:01.539
 but

00:34:01.539 --> 00:34:01.700
 as

00:34:01.700 --> 00:34:01.839
 they

00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:02.100
 did

00:34:02.100 --> 00:34:02.319
 that

00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:02.500
 they

00:34:02.500 --> 00:34:02.799
 played

00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:03.240
 right

00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:11.019
 for

00:34:11.019 --> 00:34:11.179
 the

 mean

00:37:23.820 --> 00:37:24.059
 it's

00:37:24.059 --> 00:37:24.279
 easy

00:37:24.279 --> 00:37:24.639
 to take

 that

00:37:24.820 --> 00:37:24.980
 for

00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:25.639
 it

00:37:25.639 --> 00:37:25.840
 because

00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:26.099
 we

00:37:26.099 --> 00:37:26.820
 experience

 it

00:37:28.779 --> 00:37:28.980
 but

00:37:28.980 --> 00:37:29.079
 I

00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:29.179
 mean

00:37:29.179 --> 00:37:29.440
 think

00:37:29.440 --> 00:37:29.699
 about

00:37:29.699 --> 00:37:29.819
 it

00:37:29.819 --> 00:37:29.960
 right

00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:30.119
 if

 you

00:37:34.099 --> 00:37:34.379
 want

00:37:35.659 --> 00:37:35.819
 through

 it's

00:37:44.879 --> 00:37:45.179
 worth

 we

00:37:55.299 --> 00:37:55.739
 have

00:37:55.739 --> 00:37:56.239
 boldness

00:37:56.239 --> 00:37:56.399
 and

00:37:56.399 --> 00:37:56.879
 access

00:37:56.879 --> 00:37:57.259
 and

00:37:57.259 --> 00:37:57.419
 with

00:37:57.419 --> 00:37:58.179
 confidence

00:37:58.179 --> 00:37:58.639
 we

00:37:58.639 --> 00:37:58.799
 can

00:37:58.799 --> 00:37:59.339
 approach

00:37:59.339 --> 00:38:00.059
 his

00:38:00.059 --> 00:38:00.500
 throne

00:38:00.500 --> 00:38:06.199
 and

00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:06.460
 this

00:38:06.460 --> 00:38:06.879
 only

00:38:06.879 --> 00:38:07.359
 happens

00:38:07.359 --> 00:38:07.779
 through

00:38:07.779 --> 00:38:08.419
 faith

00:38:08.419 --> 00:38:09.419
 in

00:38:09.419 --> 00:38:09.839
 him

00:38:09.839 --> 00:38:10.119
 it

00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:10.359
 says

00:38:10.359 --> 00:38:10.559
 we

00:38:10.559 --> 00:38:10.679
 have

00:38:10.679 --> 00:38:11.299
 confidence

00:38:11.299 --> 00:38:12.079
 through

00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:12.500
 our

00:38:12.500 --> 00:38:13.039
 faith

00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:13.819
 in

00:38:13.819 --> 00:38:14.199
 him

00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:14.339
 that

00:38:14.339 --> 00:38:14.500
 means

00:38:14.500 --> 00:38:14.899
 faith

00:38:14.899 --> 00:38:15.099
 is

00:38:15.099 --> 00:38:15.259
 the

00:38:15.259 --> 00:38:15.599
 means

00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:15.759
 by

00:38:15.759 --> 00:38:15.939
 which

00:38:15.939 --> 00:38:16.079
 we

00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:16.480
 secure

00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:16.719
 this

00:38:16.719 --> 00:38:17.279
 access

00:38:17.279 --> 00:38:18.179
 faith

00:38:18.179 --> 00:38:18.319
 is

00:38:18.319 --> 00:38:18.460
 the

00:38:18.460 --> 00:38:18.719
 means

00:38:18.719 --> 00:38:18.919
 by

00:38:18.919 --> 00:38:19.319
 which

00:38:19.319 --> 00:38:19.559
 we

00:38:19.559 --> 00:38:19.899
 avail

00:38:19.899 --> 00:38:20.039
 of

00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:20.399
 ourselves

00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:21.599
 of

00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:21.820
 the

00:38:21.820 --> 00:38:22.079
 riches

00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:22.360
 of

00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:22.720
 Christ

00:38:22.720 --> 00:38:23.539
 we

00:38:23.539 --> 00:38:23.660
 don't

00:38:23.660 --> 00:38:23.800
 need

00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:23.940
 to

00:38:23.940 --> 00:38:24.260
 earn

00:38:24.260 --> 00:38:24.380
 it

00:38:24.380 --> 00:38:24.500
 we

00:38:24.500 --> 00:38:24.599
 don't

00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:24.700
 need

00:38:24.700 --> 00:38:24.820
 to

00:38:24.820 --> 00:38:25.240
 work

00:38:25.240 --> 00:38:25.619
 for

00:38:25.619 --> 00:38:25.720
 it

00:38:25.720 --> 00:38:25.840
 we

00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:26.139
 simply

00:38:26.139 --> 00:38:26.800
 receive

00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:27.000
 it

00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:27.260
 by

00:38:27.260 --> 00:38:27.980
 faith

00:38:27.980 --> 00:38:28.380
 but

00:38:28.380 --> 00:38:28.519
 you

00:38:28.519 --> 00:38:28.740
 do

00:38:28.740 --> 00:38:29.019
 need

00:38:29.019 --> 00:38:29.180
 to

00:38:29.180 --> 00:38:29.579
 receive

00:38:29.579 --> 00:38:29.800
 it

00:38:29.800 --> 00:38:30.019
 by

00:38:30.019 --> 00:38:30.440
 faith

00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:31.559
 and

00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:31.660
 so

00:38:31.660 --> 00:38:31.800
 if

00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:31.900
 you

00:38:31.900 --> 00:38:32.000
 are

00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:32.200
 not

00:38:32.200 --> 00:38:32.360
 a

00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:32.639
 believer

00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:32.820
 and

00:38:32.820 --> 00:38:32.960
 you're

00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:33.099
 here

00:38:33.099 --> 00:38:33.320
 with

00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:33.500
 us

00:38:33.500 --> 00:38:33.740
 today

00:38:33.740 --> 00:38:33.980
 you're

00:38:33.980 --> 00:38:34.139
 not

00:38:34.139 --> 00:38:34.280
 yet

00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:34.420
 a

00:38:34.420 --> 00:38:34.740
 Christian

00:38:34.740 --> 00:38:34.920
 then

00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:35.059
 I

00:38:35.059 --> 00:38:35.300
 urge

00:38:35.300 --> 00:38:35.380
 you

00:38:35.380 --> 00:38:35.500
 and I

00:38:35.500 --> 00:38:35.579
 want

00:38:35.579 --> 00:38:35.680
 to

00:38:35.680 --> 00:38:35.960
 plead

00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:36.240
 with

00:38:36.240 --> 00:38:36.460
 you

00:38:36.460 --> 00:38:36.800
 to

00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:37.240
 receive

00:38:37.240 --> 00:38:37.420
 it

00:38:37.420 --> 00:38:37.599
 by

00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:37.920
 faith

00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:38.260
 take

00:38:38.260 --> 00:38:38.840
 nothing

00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:39.139
 else

00:38:39.139 --> 00:38:39.400
 with

00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:39.619
 you

00:38:39.619 --> 00:38:39.900
 to

00:38:39.900 --> 00:38:40.279
 Christ

00:38:40.279 --> 00:38:40.839
 for

00:38:40.839 --> 00:38:41.000
 your

00:38:41.000 --> 00:38:41.460
 salvation

00:38:41.460 --> 00:38:43.900
 as

00:38:43.900 --> 00:38:44.639
 the

00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:45.019
 song

00:38:45.019 --> 00:38:46.099
 rock

00:38:46.099 --> 00:38:46.239
 of

00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:46.519
 ages

00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:46.819
 cleft

00:38:46.819 --> 00:38:46.960
 for

00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:47.099
 me

00:38:47.099 --> 00:38:47.279
 says

00:38:47.279 --> 00:38:47.759
 nothing

00:38:47.759 --> 00:38:48.139
 in

00:38:48.139 --> 00:38:48.359
 my

00:38:48.359 --> 00:38:48.759
 hands

00:38:48.759 --> 00:38:48.960
 I

00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:49.359
 bring

00:38:49.359 --> 00:38:50.219
 simply

00:38:50.219 --> 00:38:50.440
 to

00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:50.599
 the

00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:51.079
 cross

00:38:51.079 --> 00:38:51.639
 I

00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:52.139
 cling

00:38:52.139 --> 00:38:52.819
 that's

00:38:52.819 --> 00:38:53.519
 faith

00:38:53.519 --> 00:38:57.059
 and

00:38:57.059 --> 00:38:57.179
 the

00:38:57.179 --> 00:38:57.719
 divinely

00:38:57.719 --> 00:38:58.279
 appointed

00:38:58.279 --> 00:38:59.420
 expression

00:38:59.420 --> 00:38:59.880
 of that

00:38:59.880 --> 00:39:00.259
 faith

00:39:00.259 --> 00:39:00.779
 a

00:39:00.779 --> 00:39:01.099
 public

00:39:01.099 --> 00:39:01.739
 profession

00:39:01.739 --> 00:39:02.119
 of that

00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:02.480
 faith

00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:02.880
 is

00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:03.339
 baptism

00:39:03.339 --> 00:39:05.659
 and

00:39:05.659 --> 00:39:05.759
 we

00:39:05.759 --> 00:39:06.119
 encourage

00:39:06.119 --> 00:39:06.599
 all of

00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:06.699
 you

00:39:06.699 --> 00:39:06.839
 who

00:39:06.839 --> 00:39:06.960
 have

00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:07.159
 not

00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:07.339
 been

00:39:07.339 --> 00:39:07.659
 baptized

00:39:07.659 --> 00:39:07.779
 to

00:39:07.779 --> 00:39:07.900
 get

00:39:07.900 --> 00:39:08.420
 baptized

00:39:08.420 --> 00:39:10.539
 to

 offer

00:39:10.780 --> 00:39:11.200
 baptism

00:39:11.200 --> 00:39:11.579
 next

00:39:11.579 --> 00:39:12.019
 month

00:39:12.019 --> 00:39:14.480
 and

00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:14.720
 so

00:39:14.720 --> 00:39:15.559
 up to

00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:15.720
 this

00:39:15.720 --> 00:39:15.960
 point

00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:16.220
 Paul

00:39:16.220 --> 00:39:16.400
 has

00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:16.639
 spoken

00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:16.800
 of

00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:16.940
 the

00:39:16.940 --> 00:39:17.440
 revelation

00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:17.740
 of

00:39:17.740 --> 00:39:17.860
 the

00:39:17.860 --> 00:39:18.180
 mystery

00:39:18.180 --> 00:39:18.400
 and

00:39:18.400 --> 00:39:18.599
 how

00:39:18.599 --> 00:39:18.840
 he

00:39:18.840 --> 00:39:19.039
 has

00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:19.180
 been

00:39:19.180 --> 00:39:19.559
 charged

00:39:19.559 --> 00:39:19.740
 and

00:39:19.740 --> 00:39:19.940
 the

00:39:19.940 --> 00:39:20.159
 church

00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:20.300
 is

00:39:20.300 --> 00:39:20.500
 charged

00:39:20.500 --> 00:39:20.639
 with

00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:20.760
 the

00:39:20.760 --> 00:39:21.180
 proclamation

00:39:21.180 --> 00:39:21.539
 of

00:39:21.539 --> 00:39:21.659
 the

00:39:21.659 --> 00:39:22.000
 mystery

00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:22.559
 and

00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:22.680
 then

00:39:22.680 --> 00:39:22.800
 we

00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:22.960
 might

00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:23.240
 wonder

00:39:23.240 --> 00:39:23.440
 at

00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:23.639
 this

00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:23.960
 point

00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:24.619
 why

00:39:24.619 --> 00:39:24.960
 Paul

00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:25.139
 is

00:39:25.139 --> 00:39:25.380
 going

00:39:25.380 --> 00:39:25.599
 to

00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:26.019
 such

00:39:26.019 --> 00:39:26.579
 lengths

00:39:26.579 --> 00:39:27.059
 to

00:39:27.059 --> 00:39:27.619
 describe

00:39:27.619 --> 00:39:27.840
 the

00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:28.260
 significance

00:39:28.260 --> 00:39:28.500
 of

00:39:28.500 --> 00:39:28.820
 ministry

00:39:28.820 --> 00:39:29.159
 to

00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:29.460
 us

00:39:29.460 --> 00:39:30.240
 and

00:39:30.240 --> 00:39:30.599
 Paul

00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:30.740
 is

00:39:30.740 --> 00:39:30.880
 not

00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:31.099
 doing

00:39:31.099 --> 00:39:31.240
 this

00:39:31.240 --> 00:39:31.400
 for

00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:31.720
 selfish

00:39:31.720 --> 00:39:32.159
 reasons

00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:32.360
 but

00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:32.559
 for

00:39:32.559 --> 00:39:33.260
 pastoral

00:39:33.260 --> 00:39:33.740
 reasons

00:39:33.740 --> 00:39:34.320
 because

00:39:38.420 --> 00:39:38.740
 heartened

00:39:38.740 --> 00:39:39.539
 Ephesian

00:39:39.539 --> 00:39:40.039
 church

00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:40.559
 for

00:39:40.559 --> 00:39:40.700
 the

00:39:40.700 --> 00:39:41.380
 disappointments

00:39:41.380 --> 00:39:41.960
 and setbacks

00:39:41.960 --> 00:39:42.260
 that they're

00:39:42.260 --> 00:39:42.599
 seeing

00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:42.840
 in the

00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:43.980
 imprisonment

00:39:43.980 --> 00:39:44.380
 of Paul

00:39:44.380 --> 00:39:44.820
 and the

00:39:44.820 --> 00:39:45.380
 persecutions

00:39:45.380 --> 00:39:45.680
 that they

00:39:45.680 --> 00:39:46.099
 faced

00:39:46.099 --> 00:39:47.079
 in the

00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:47.500
 rising

00:39:47.500 --> 00:39:48.380
 empire

00:39:48.380 --> 00:39:48.619
 of

00:39:48.619 --> 00:39:48.940
 Nero

00:39:48.940 --> 00:39:51.740
 and

00:39:51.740 --> 00:39:51.880
 so

00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:52.220
 he says

00:39:52.220 --> 00:39:52.539
 in verse

00:39:52.539 --> 00:39:53.079
 13

00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:53.440
 so I

00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:53.940
 ask you

00:39:53.940 --> 00:39:54.619
 not to

00:39:54.619 --> 00:39:54.980
 lose

00:39:54.980 --> 00:39:55.440
 heart

00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:55.920
 over

00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:56.280
 what I

00:39:56.280 --> 00:39:56.460
 am

00:39:56.460 --> 00:39:56.860
 suffering

00:39:56.860 --> 00:39:57.139
 for

00:39:57.139 --> 00:39:57.420
 you

00:39:57.420 --> 00:39:58.019
 which

00:39:58.019 --> 00:39:58.460
 is

00:39:58.460 --> 00:39:58.980
 your

00:39:58.980 --> 00:39:59.519
 glory

00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:02.579
 so

00:40:02.579 --> 00:40:03.019
 there's

00:40:03.019 --> 00:40:03.320
 this

00:40:03.320 --> 00:40:04.079
 it neatly

00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:04.420
 kind of

00:40:04.420 --> 00:40:04.940
 wraps up

00:40:04.940 --> 00:40:05.099
 this

00:40:05.099 --> 00:40:05.400
 entire

00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:05.800
 passage

00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:06.059
 because

00:40:06.059 --> 00:40:06.240
 he

00:40:06.240 --> 00:40:06.700
 began

00:40:06.700 --> 00:40:07.079
 in verse

00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:07.380
 one

00:40:07.380 --> 00:40:07.900
 by saying

00:40:07.900 --> 00:40:08.139
 that

00:40:08.139 --> 00:40:08.380
 I'm

00:40:08.380 --> 00:40:08.800
 a prisoner

00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:09.039
 on

00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:09.380
 Christ

00:40:09.380 --> 00:40:09.920
 on

00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:10.340
 behalf

00:40:10.340 --> 00:40:10.780
 of

00:40:10.780 --> 00:40:11.079
 you

00:40:11.079 --> 00:40:12.420
 and

00:40:12.420 --> 00:40:12.519
 then

00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:12.760
 now

00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:12.960
 he

00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:13.340
 says

00:40:13.340 --> 00:40:13.680
 I

00:40:13.680 --> 00:40:13.820
 am

00:40:13.820 --> 00:40:14.360
 suffering

00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:15.019
 for

00:40:15.019 --> 00:40:15.440
 you

00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:16.140
 for

00:40:16.140 --> 00:40:16.440
 you

00:40:16.440 --> 00:40:16.680

00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:17.160
 of

00:40:17.160 --> 00:40:17.280
 you

00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:17.480
 it's

00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:17.700
 actually

00:40:17.700 --> 00:40:18.180
 exact

00:40:18.180 --> 00:40:18.700
 identical

00:40:18.700 --> 00:40:19.180
 phrases

00:40:19.180 --> 00:40:19.360
 in

00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:19.700
 Greek

00:40:19.700 --> 00:40:20.280
 he's

00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:20.400
 saying

00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:20.519
 that

00:40:20.519 --> 00:40:20.740
 I'm

00:40:20.740 --> 00:40:20.840
 a

00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:21.099
 prisoner

00:40:21.099 --> 00:40:21.360
 for

00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:21.460
 you

00:40:21.460 --> 00:40:21.660
 I'm

00:40:21.660 --> 00:40:22.019
 suffering

00:40:22.019 --> 00:40:22.220
 for

00:40:22.220 --> 00:40:22.340
 you

00:40:22.340 --> 00:40:22.599
 he's

00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:22.760
 kind

00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:22.840
 of

00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:23.619
 enclosing

00:40:23.619 --> 00:40:24.760
 bracketing

00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:24.960
 this

00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:25.300
 entire

00:40:25.300 --> 00:40:25.740
 section

00:40:25.740 --> 00:40:26.140
 by

00:40:26.140 --> 00:40:26.460
 closing

00:40:26.460 --> 00:40:26.680
 with

00:40:26.680 --> 00:40:26.840
 the

00:40:26.840 --> 00:40:27.140
 account

00:40:27.140 --> 00:40:27.240
 of

00:40:27.240 --> 00:40:27.380
 his

00:40:27.380 --> 00:40:27.760
 suffering

00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:29.480
 but

00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:29.700
 how

00:40:29.700 --> 00:40:30.140
 exactly

00:40:30.140 --> 00:40:30.320
 is

00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:30.539
 Paul

00:40:30.539 --> 00:40:31.079
 suffering

00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:31.280
 on

00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:31.599
 behalf

00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:31.720
 of

00:40:31.720 --> 00:40:31.820
 the

00:40:31.820 --> 00:40:32.160
 Ephesians

00:40:32.160 --> 00:40:32.619
 believers

00:40:32.619 --> 00:40:33.259
 and

00:40:33.259 --> 00:40:33.420
 for

00:40:33.420 --> 00:40:33.619
 their

00:40:33.619 --> 00:40:34.059
 glory

00:40:34.059 --> 00:40:35.339
 so

00:40:35.339 --> 00:40:35.779
 first

00:40:35.779 --> 00:40:36.139
 obviously

00:40:36.139 --> 00:40:36.579
 Paul

00:40:36.579 --> 00:40:37.719
 because

00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:38.179
 Paul

00:40:38.179 --> 00:40:39.059
 as a

00:40:39.059 --> 00:40:39.299
 steward

00:40:39.299 --> 00:40:39.440
 of

00:40:39.440 --> 00:40:39.559
 the

00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:39.900
 mystery

00:40:39.900 --> 00:40:40.900
 was

00:40:40.900 --> 00:40:41.440
 imprisoned

00:40:41.440 --> 00:40:41.719
 and

00:40:41.719 --> 00:40:42.239
 persecuted

00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:43.019
 while

00:40:43.019 --> 00:40:43.299
 in

00:40:43.299 --> 00:40:43.440
 the

00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:43.719
 act

00:40:43.719 --> 00:40:43.980
 of

00:40:43.980 --> 00:40:45.139
 proclaiming

00:40:45.139 --> 00:40:45.279
 the

00:40:45.279 --> 00:40:45.619
 gospel

00:40:45.619 --> 00:40:45.980
 for

00:40:45.980 --> 00:40:46.159
 the

00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:46.380
 sake

00:40:46.380 --> 00:40:46.500
 of

00:40:46.500 --> 00:40:46.639
 these

00:40:46.639 --> 00:40:46.940
 Gentile

00:40:46.940 --> 00:40:47.339
 believers

00:40:47.339 --> 00:40:47.739
 in

00:40:47.739 --> 00:40:47.960
 that

00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:48.219
 sense

00:40:48.219 --> 00:40:48.380
 we

00:40:48.380 --> 00:40:48.500
 could

00:40:48.500 --> 00:40:48.699
 say

00:40:48.699 --> 00:40:48.900
 that

00:40:48.900 --> 00:40:49.079
 yes

00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:49.380
 Paul

00:40:49.380 --> 00:40:49.619
 was

00:40:49.619 --> 00:40:50.099
 suffering

00:40:50.099 --> 00:40:51.079
 on

00:40:51.079 --> 00:40:51.559
 behalf

00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:51.880
 of

00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:52.019
 the

00:40:52.019 --> 00:40:52.319
 Ephesian

00:40:52.319 --> 00:40:52.759
 believers

00:40:52.759 --> 00:40:54.619
 but

00:40:54.619 --> 00:40:54.799
 I

00:40:54.799 --> 00:40:55.039
 think

00:40:55.039 --> 00:40:55.460
 there's

00:40:55.460 --> 00:40:56.079
 a

00:40:56.079 --> 00:40:56.500
 second

00:40:56.500 --> 00:40:57.159
 and

00:40:57.159 --> 00:40:57.659
 more

00:40:57.659 --> 00:40:58.099
 immediate

00:40:58.099 --> 00:40:58.519
 way

00:40:58.519 --> 00:40:58.759
 in

00:40:58.759 --> 00:40:58.920
 which

00:40:58.920 --> 00:40:59.219
 Paul

00:40:59.219 --> 00:40:59.420
 is

00:40:59.420 --> 00:40:59.619
 saying

00:40:59.619 --> 00:40:59.779
 that

00:40:59.779 --> 00:41:00.059
 he's

00:41:00.059 --> 00:41:00.420
 suffering

00:41:00.420 --> 00:41:00.639
 on

00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:01.099
 behalf

00:41:01.099 --> 00:41:01.559
 of

00:41:01.559 --> 00:41:01.860
 these

00:41:01.860 --> 00:41:02.219
 Ephesian

00:41:02.219 --> 00:41:02.699
 believers

00:41:02.699 --> 00:41:04.219
 and

00:41:04.219 --> 00:41:04.420
 Paul

00:41:04.420 --> 00:41:04.579
 says

00:41:04.579 --> 00:41:04.860
 something

00:41:04.860 --> 00:41:05.119
 very

00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:05.400
 similar

00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:05.559
 to

00:41:05.559 --> 00:41:06.119
 the

00:41:06.119 --> 00:41:06.559
 Colossians

00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:06.799
 church

00:41:06.799 --> 00:41:06.940
 in

00:41:06.940 --> 00:41:07.400
 Colossians

00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:07.679
 1

00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:08.179
 24

00:41:08.179 --> 00:41:08.920
 he says

00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:09.360
 now

00:41:09.360 --> 00:41:09.619
 I

00:41:09.619 --> 00:41:10.219
 rejoice

00:41:10.219 --> 00:41:10.699
 in

00:41:10.699 --> 00:41:10.940
 my

00:41:10.940 --> 00:41:11.759
 sufferings

00:41:11.759 --> 00:41:12.219
 for

00:41:12.219 --> 00:41:12.480
 your

00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:12.920
 sake

00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:13.900
 and

00:41:13.900 --> 00:41:14.019
 in

00:41:14.019 --> 00:41:14.219
 my

00:41:14.219 --> 00:41:14.759
 flesh

00:41:14.759 --> 00:41:15.079
 I

00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:15.239
 am

00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:15.779
 filling

00:41:15.779 --> 00:41:16.279
 up

00:41:16.279 --> 00:41:16.579
 what

00:41:16.579 --> 00:41:16.759
 is

00:41:16.759 --> 00:41:17.299
 lacking

00:41:17.299 --> 00:41:17.960
 in

00:41:17.960 --> 00:41:18.860
 Christ's

00:41:18.860 --> 00:41:19.639
 afflictions

00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:20.079
 for

00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:20.299
 the

 sake

00:41:20.679 --> 00:41:20.980
 of

 his

00:41:21.420 --> 00:41:22.119
 body

00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:22.440
 that

00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:22.819
 is

00:41:22.819 --> 00:41:23.519
 the

00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:23.960
 church

00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:25.619
 what

00:41:25.619 --> 00:41:25.759
 does

00:42:51.099 --> 00:42:51.619
 inadequate

00:42:51.619 --> 00:42:53.039
 that

00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:56.579
 we're

00:42:56.579 --> 00:42:56.819
 also

00:42:56.819 --> 00:42:57.099
 appointed

 did

00:42:58.179 --> 00:42:58.979
 so that

00:42:58.979 --> 00:42:59.159
 we can

00:42:59.159 --> 00:42:59.439
 also be

 was

00:43:00.839 --> 00:43:01.599
 and

 as

00:43:01.779 --> 00:43:01.899
 he

00:43:01.899 --> 00:43:03.879
 so

00:43:03.879 --> 00:43:04.039
 then

00:43:04.039 --> 00:43:04.199
 what

00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:04.339
 that

00:43:04.339 --> 00:43:04.559
 means

00:43:04.559 --> 00:43:04.719
 is

00:43:04.719 --> 00:43:04.899
 this

00:43:04.899 --> 00:43:05.039
 this

00:43:05.039 --> 00:43:05.159
 is

00:43:05.159 --> 00:43:05.319
 so

00:43:05.319 --> 00:43:05.739
 comforting

00:43:05.739 --> 00:43:05.979
 for

00:43:05.979 --> 00:43:06.119
 us

00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:06.279
 so

00:43:06.279 --> 00:43:06.739
 practical

00:43:06.739 --> 00:43:07.019
 for

 us

00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:07.299
 as

 we

00:43:07.439 --> 00:43:07.719
 live

00:43:07.719 --> 00:43:07.899
 because

00:43:07.899 --> 00:43:08.099
 when

 we

 in

 difficult

00:44:05.460 --> 00:44:06.159

00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:06.699

00:44:06.699 --> 00:44:08.340
 so we

 could go

00:44:08.659 --> 00:44:08.900
 out into

00:44:12.059 --> 00:44:12.559
 overlook

00:44:15.980 --> 00:44:16.240

00:44:59.880 --> 00:45:00.220
 as

00:45:00.220 --> 00:45:00.380
 we

00:45:00.380 --> 00:45:00.619
 suffer

00:45:00.619 --> 00:45:00.840
 we're

00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:01.380
 identifying

00:45:01.380 --> 00:45:01.720
 with

00:45:01.720 --> 00:45:02.039
 Christ

00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:02.240
 in

00:45:02.240 --> 00:45:02.360
 our

00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:02.599
 union

00:45:02.599 --> 00:45:02.860
 with

00:45:02.860 --> 00:45:03.099
 him

00:45:03.099 --> 00:45:04.119
 and

00:45:04.119 --> 00:45:04.320
 we're

00:45:04.320 --> 00:45:04.680
 becoming

00:45:04.680 --> 00:45:05.300
 representations

00:45:05.300 --> 00:45:05.860
 of

00:45:05.860 --> 00:45:06.240
 Christ

00:45:06.240 --> 00:45:06.740
 to

00:45:06.740 --> 00:45:06.920
 the

00:45:06.920 --> 00:45:07.200
 watching

00:45:07.200 --> 00:45:07.700
 world

00:45:07.700 --> 00:45:08.780
 when

00:45:08.780 --> 00:45:08.940
 we

00:45:08.940 --> 00:45:09.200
 suffer

00:45:09.200 --> 00:45:09.460
 for

00:45:09.460 --> 00:45:09.559
 one

00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:09.740
 another

00:45:09.740 --> 00:45:10.019
 as

00:45:10.019 --> 00:45:10.420
 Christ

00:45:10.420 --> 00:45:10.900
 suffered

00:45:10.900 --> 00:45:11.400
 for

00:45:11.400 --> 00:45:11.860
 us

00:45:11.860 --> 00:45:13.460
 that's

00:45:13.460 --> 00:45:13.640
 how

00:45:13.640 --> 00:45:13.900
 Paul

00:45:13.900 --> 00:45:14.059
 is

00:45:14.059 --> 00:45:14.320
 trying

00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:14.519
 to

00:45:14.519 --> 00:45:15.059
 console

00:45:15.059 --> 00:45:15.260
 the

00:45:15.260 --> 00:45:15.579
 Ephesians

00:45:15.579 --> 00:45:15.980
 believers

00:45:15.980 --> 00:45:16.300
 here

00:45:16.300 --> 00:45:16.480
 in

00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:16.660
 verse

00:45:16.660 --> 00:45:17.140
 13

00:45:17.139 --> 00:45:18.279
 so

00:45:18.279 --> 00:45:18.519
 I

00:45:18.519 --> 00:45:18.980
 ask

00:45:18.980 --> 00:45:19.279
 you

00:45:19.279 --> 00:45:20.400
 not

00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:20.599
 to

00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:20.799
 lose

00:45:20.799 --> 00:45:21.119
 heart

00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:21.960
 over

00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:22.159
 what

00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:22.359
 I'm

00:45:22.359 --> 00:45:22.799
 suffering

00:45:22.799 --> 00:45:23.039
 for

00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:23.259
 you

00:45:23.259 --> 00:45:24.699
 which

00:45:24.699 --> 00:45:25.039
 is

00:45:25.039 --> 00:45:25.259
 your

00:45:25.259 --> 00:45:25.719

00:45:25.719 --> 00:45:27.799
 so

00:45:27.799 --> 00:45:28.319

00:45:32.579 --> 00:45:34.279
 don't

00:45:34.279 --> 00:45:34.460
 lose

00:45:34.460 --> 00:45:34.699

00:45:34.699 --> 00:45:34.940

 my

00:45:35.199 --> 00:45:35.619
 suffering

00:45:35.619 --> 00:45:35.859
 is

00:45:35.859 --> 00:45:36.139

 setback

00:45:37.139 --> 00:45:37.559
 it's
