00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.700
 C.S. Lewis once said,

00:00:03.940 --> 00:00:08.919
 Time does not erase the fact or the guilt of sin.

00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:14.339
! Time does not erase the fact or the guilt of sin.

00:00:15.259 --> 00:00:17.480
! Last year, just before Easter,

00:00:18.019 --> 00:00:23.760
 our washing machine started spilling water out of the overflow pipe during its rinse cycle.

00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:26.060
 One morning I was leaving the house,

00:00:26.059 --> 00:00:30.799
 and next thing there was this flood of water coming out from underneath the washing machine.

00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.200
 And to cut a long story short,

00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:37.920
 what had happened is there had been a blockage in one of the pipes under our floorboards,

00:00:38.460 --> 00:00:41.719
 and during the rinse cycle, the water was going down the overflow pipe,

00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:47.200
 hitting the blockage and then just backing its way up and pouring out onto the kitchen floor.

00:00:49.219 --> 00:00:53.120
 Now in the weeks and months previous, I had been given a few warnings.

00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:57.979
 So I remember one morning seeing a trickle of water come out from underneath the washing machine,

00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:01.439
 and I just grabbed one of Jackie's blouses and dried it up.

00:01:02.420 --> 00:01:07.299
 A few weeks previous, I remember on the rinse cycle,

00:01:07.420 --> 00:01:11.420
 the kitchen sink started spitting water up and gurgling loudly.

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:16.359
 But because there wasn't any sort of volcanic eruption, I just ignored it.

00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:20.780
 And then just a few days before the blockage,

00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:27.539
 the kitchen sink started to drain really slowly, like, really slowly.

00:01:28.219 --> 00:01:33.480
 Like, hello, there's a blocked pipe below kind of slope.

00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.460
 But you know what I was thinking when I got all these warning signs?

00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:39.579
 It'll be alright.

00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:40.819
 It'll clear.

00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:42.340
 Ah, it'll be a wee blockage.

00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:43.579
 It'll clear in time.

00:01:43.579 --> 00:01:44.659
 And then it happened.

00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:47.219
 The blockage, the overflow,

00:01:47.700 --> 00:01:51.200
 and there I was with tiles and everything all over the kitchen floor.

00:01:51.620 --> 00:01:54.500
 And after four hours of me trying to fix it,

00:01:55.539 --> 00:01:57.620
 the kitchen sink wasn't even draining.

00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:00.299
 And it came at quite a stressful time.

00:02:00.379 --> 00:02:03.539
 I actually was going off to Australia to speak at a conference,

00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:05.200
 and I had talks to prepare.

00:02:05.579 --> 00:02:07.280
 I had this talk to prepare.

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:13.199
 And I didn't have the time to be fixing a blocked pipe under my floorboards.

00:02:14.979 --> 00:02:17.920
 And then, in God's kindness and providence,

00:02:18.060 --> 00:02:18.680
 I realized,

00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.780
 here was an illustration

00:02:21.780 --> 00:02:25.439
 staring me right in the face.

00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:30.579
 We sin every day.

00:02:31.579 --> 00:02:32.639
 By thought,

00:02:32.979 --> 00:02:34.099
 by word,

00:02:34.099 --> 00:02:35.379
 by deed.

00:02:36.819 --> 00:02:40.020
 If we do not confess our sins,

00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:44.060
 then it is like the accumulation of dirt

00:02:44.060 --> 00:02:47.520
 in the pipes of our relationship with God.

00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:51.100
 If sin is unconfessed,

00:02:51.600 --> 00:02:54.280
 then it just sits there,

00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:59.660
 building up and clogging up our relationship with God.

00:02:59.740 --> 00:03:01.140
 And one thing is for certain,

00:03:01.580 --> 00:03:07.080
 time does not erase the fact or the guilt of sin.

00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:12.040
 And that was a lesson that King David had to learn.

00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:13.280
 And in learning it,

00:03:13.740 --> 00:03:15.960
 he left us with a wonderful example

00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:18.720
 of a Christian confession of sin.

00:03:19.300 --> 00:03:20.660
 This psalm,

00:03:20.780 --> 00:03:21.580
 Psalm 51,

00:03:21.820 --> 00:03:24.100
 set within the context of the whole Bible,

00:03:24.900 --> 00:03:26.780
 gives us five aspects

00:03:26.780 --> 00:03:29.620
 of a Christian confession of sin.

00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:31.180
 Number one,

00:03:32.220 --> 00:03:33.439
 confession of sin

00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:35.000
 comes only

00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.560
 through divine revelation.

00:03:37.819 --> 00:03:38.979
 Confession of sin

00:03:38.979 --> 00:03:40.500
 comes only

00:03:40.500 --> 00:03:42.759
 through divine revelation.

00:03:43.219 --> 00:03:44.580
 Just take a glance down

00:03:44.580 --> 00:03:45.960
 to the superscription.

00:03:46.419 --> 00:03:48.139
 That's the beginning part

00:03:48.139 --> 00:03:49.240
 in your Bibles.

00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:50.460
 If you've got the NIV,

00:03:50.699 --> 00:03:51.280
 it's the bit

00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.360
 at the beginning of Psalm 51

00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:54.759
 in capital letters.

00:03:55.379 --> 00:03:55.800
 Now this

00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:57.280
 hasn't been added

00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:58.719
 by the NIV

00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:00.080
 or ESV

00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:01.120
 translators.

00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:02.740
 This is part of the original.

00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:04.780
 It's not irrelevant.

00:04:04.780 --> 00:04:06.300
 It's actually the key

00:04:06.300 --> 00:04:08.219
 to understanding this psalm.

00:04:08.300 --> 00:04:08.640
 In fact,

00:04:09.060 --> 00:04:10.080
 it presents us

00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:11.340
 with the foundation

00:04:11.340 --> 00:04:13.979
 for a Christian confession of sin.

00:04:14.659 --> 00:04:16.040
 To the choir master,

00:04:16.819 --> 00:04:17.920
 a psalm of David

00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:18.720
 when Nathan,

00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:20.060
 the prophet,

00:04:21.019 --> 00:04:22.060
 went to him

00:04:22.060 --> 00:04:23.160
 after

00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:24.779
 he had gone in

00:04:24.779 --> 00:04:25.560
 to Bathsheba.

00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:27.319
 Now we're not told

00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:28.339
 how long it was

00:04:28.339 --> 00:04:30.079
 between David committing

00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:30.840
 adultery

00:04:30.840 --> 00:04:31.860
 with Bathsheba

00:04:31.860 --> 00:04:32.939
 and Nathan,

00:04:33.080 --> 00:04:34.180
 the prophet's visit.

00:04:34.860 --> 00:04:35.740
 But from the story

00:04:35.740 --> 00:04:38.199
 of 2 Samuel 11 and 12,

00:04:38.340 --> 00:04:39.319
 it looks like Nathan

00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:40.680
 came to David

00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:41.900
 either just before

00:04:41.900 --> 00:04:43.100
 or just after

00:04:43.100 --> 00:04:44.360
 the birth

00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:45.300
 of the boy

00:04:45.300 --> 00:04:46.540
 who was born

00:04:46.540 --> 00:04:48.180
 from this adulterous affair.

00:04:48.580 --> 00:04:49.180
 That's about

00:04:49.180 --> 00:04:49.939
 nine months.

00:04:51.100 --> 00:04:52.199
 Nine months

00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:53.139
 to wake up.

00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:54.920
 Nine months

00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:56.520
 to come to his senses.

00:04:57.420 --> 00:04:58.080
 Nine months

00:04:58.079 --> 00:04:58.859
 for the guilt

00:04:58.859 --> 00:05:00.699
 to get so heavy

00:05:00.699 --> 00:05:02.039
 that eventually

00:05:02.039 --> 00:05:03.180
 he cracks

00:05:03.180 --> 00:05:04.740
 and runs back

00:05:04.740 --> 00:05:05.180
 to God

00:05:05.180 --> 00:05:05.879
 in confession.

00:05:06.359 --> 00:05:06.599
 I mean,

00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:08.120
 just think about

00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:09.039
 what he had done.

00:05:10.500 --> 00:05:11.819
 He had failed

00:05:11.819 --> 00:05:13.039
 to go to war.

00:05:13.659 --> 00:05:14.620
 2 Samuel 11

00:05:14.620 --> 00:05:15.479
 starts with those

00:05:15.479 --> 00:05:16.339
 wonderful words.

00:05:16.899 --> 00:05:17.959
 In the spring

00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:19.399
 when kings

00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:20.039
 go off

00:05:20.039 --> 00:05:20.719
 to war,

00:05:21.479 --> 00:05:21.959
 David

00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:23.060
 sent

00:05:23.060 --> 00:05:24.139
 Joab,

00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:25.419
 his commander,

00:05:26.060 --> 00:05:26.560
 to fight

00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:27.300
 the Ammonites.

00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:28.680
 What a brilliant way

00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:29.819
 to open the drama.

00:05:31.220 --> 00:05:31.879
 So not only

00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:32.899
 does he not go to war

00:05:32.899 --> 00:05:33.839
 when he should have,

00:05:34.100 --> 00:05:35.600
 he sends somebody else

00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:36.899
 to fight the war

00:05:36.899 --> 00:05:37.459
 for him.

00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:38.879
 And then one night

00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:40.120
 as he's looking out

00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:40.959
 on his balcony,

00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:42.199
 he spots a woman,

00:05:42.420 --> 00:05:43.620
 another man's wife.

00:05:44.180 --> 00:05:45.340
 And a bit of laziness

00:05:45.340 --> 00:05:46.720
 leads to lust

00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:47.439
 and the lust

00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.079
 leads to an affair.

00:05:49.899 --> 00:05:50.379
 But David

00:05:50.379 --> 00:05:51.500
 wants to cover it up

00:05:51.500 --> 00:05:53.439
 until his secret

00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:54.300
 hits a bump.

00:05:54.699 --> 00:05:55.759
 Quite literally

00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:56.579
 in the tummy

00:05:56.579 --> 00:05:57.560
 of Bathsheba.

00:05:58.740 --> 00:05:59.839
 So what does he do?

00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:01.399
 He calls her husband

00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:02.459
 back from war.

00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:04.199
 He tries to tell him

00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:04.879
 to go and spend

00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:06.060
 a night with a missus

00:06:06.060 --> 00:06:06.779
 so that he can

00:06:06.779 --> 00:06:08.099
 cover up his crime.

00:06:08.899 --> 00:06:09.699
 And when he doesn't

00:06:09.699 --> 00:06:10.300
 play ball,

00:06:10.620 --> 00:06:11.339
 he brings him

00:06:11.339 --> 00:06:12.319
 to his dinner table,

00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:13.319
 gets him drunk,

00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:14.659
 sends him back again,

00:06:15.099 --> 00:06:16.420
 still doesn't play ball.

00:06:17.339 --> 00:06:18.120
 So what does he do?

00:06:18.219 --> 00:06:19.659
 He sends him back

00:06:19.659 --> 00:06:20.860
 to the battlefield

00:06:20.860 --> 00:06:21.819
 with his own

00:06:21.819 --> 00:06:22.699
 death warrant

00:06:22.699 --> 00:06:23.620
 in his hand.

00:06:23.620 --> 00:06:25.360
 he says to Joab,

00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:26.300
 make sure you put

00:06:26.300 --> 00:06:26.939
 Uriah,

00:06:27.579 --> 00:06:28.600
 Bathsheba's husband,

00:06:28.840 --> 00:06:30.220
 at the front

00:06:30.220 --> 00:06:31.300
 of the battle line.

00:06:32.860 --> 00:06:34.060
 And in that fight,

00:06:34.220 --> 00:06:35.060
 it wasn't just

00:06:35.060 --> 00:06:36.060
 Uriah who died,

00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:37.120
 it was other men

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:37.740
 who died

00:06:37.740 --> 00:06:39.100
 fighting on the front

00:06:39.100 --> 00:06:39.980
 with Uriah

00:06:39.980 --> 00:06:41.579
 because David's army

00:06:41.579 --> 00:06:42.420
 pulled back

00:06:42.420 --> 00:06:43.540
 and let them

00:06:43.540 --> 00:06:44.199
 get killed.

00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:45.259
 And then when the

00:06:45.259 --> 00:06:46.339
 messenger comes

00:06:46.339 --> 00:06:47.339
 to David and says,

00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.599
 Uriah is dead,

00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:52.039
 David responds

00:06:52.039 --> 00:06:53.240
 with ice cold

00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:54.139
 calculation.

00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:55.360
 Well,

00:06:55.699 --> 00:06:57.060
 that's war.

00:06:58.339 --> 00:06:59.159
 Some are taken,

00:06:59.379 --> 00:07:00.000
 some are not.

00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:01.000
 C'est la vie.

00:07:03.539 --> 00:07:03.879
 Now,

00:07:04.060 --> 00:07:05.360
 nine months

00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:06.959
 David had to live

00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:08.539
 with all of those

00:07:08.539 --> 00:07:09.279
 things on his

00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:09.939
 conscience.

00:07:09.939 --> 00:07:13.699
 270 nights

00:07:13.699 --> 00:07:14.959
 going to sleep

00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:16.480
 with blood

00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:17.660
 on his hands.

00:07:19.699 --> 00:07:20.740
 So why didn't

00:07:20.740 --> 00:07:21.300
 he repent?

00:07:22.420 --> 00:07:23.379
 Why couldn't

00:07:23.379 --> 00:07:24.180
 he come

00:07:24.180 --> 00:07:25.199
 to his senses?

00:07:25.339 --> 00:07:25.560
 I mean,

00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:26.100
 if you

00:07:26.100 --> 00:07:27.300
 had had a secret

00:07:27.300 --> 00:07:27.819
 affair,

00:07:28.259 --> 00:07:28.980
 you'd lied,

00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:30.040
 you'd murdered

00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:31.300
 someone to cover up,

00:07:31.379 --> 00:07:31.860
 wouldn't you

00:07:31.860 --> 00:07:32.819
 come to your senses?

00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:33.480
 Wouldn't you

00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:34.100
 wake up

00:07:34.100 --> 00:07:35.040
 and say,

00:07:35.159 --> 00:07:35.339
 okay,

00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:36.040
 enough's enough,

00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:36.839
 I need to admit

00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:37.720
 I've done wrong?

00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:39.560
 Well,

00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:40.320
 the reason why

00:07:40.320 --> 00:07:41.580
 David didn't

00:07:41.580 --> 00:07:42.120
 and the reason

00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:42.920
 why neither you

00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:43.720
 nor I would

00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:45.480
 is because

00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:47.140
 the DNA of sin

00:07:47.140 --> 00:07:48.320
 is deception.

00:07:48.980 --> 00:07:50.140
 Built into the

00:07:50.140 --> 00:07:51.100
 very nature

00:07:51.100 --> 00:07:51.860
 of sin

00:07:51.860 --> 00:07:53.360
 is deceitfulness.

00:07:53.980 --> 00:07:54.620
 And that is why

00:07:54.620 --> 00:07:55.600
 David didn't have

00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:56.700
 the wherewithal,

00:07:57.020 --> 00:07:57.820
 the objective

00:07:57.820 --> 00:07:59.260
 self-assessment,

00:07:59.440 --> 00:08:00.020
 the ability

00:08:00.020 --> 00:08:01.360
 to differentiate

00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:02.420
 between himself

00:08:02.420 --> 00:08:03.480
 and his sin

00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:04.780
 and to be able

00:08:04.780 --> 00:08:05.460
 to see that

00:08:05.460 --> 00:08:06.140
 what he had done

00:08:06.140 --> 00:08:06.780
 was wrong

00:08:06.779 --> 00:08:07.779
 and to confess

00:08:07.779 --> 00:08:09.139
 his sins.

00:08:10.779 --> 00:08:12.379
 This is the fact

00:08:12.379 --> 00:08:13.959
 that the Bible

00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:14.579
 gives us,

00:08:14.619 --> 00:08:16.179
 that as human beings

00:08:16.179 --> 00:08:17.799
 we do not have

00:08:17.799 --> 00:08:18.519
 the ability

00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:20.119
 for true,

00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:21.399
 clear,

00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:22.519
 objective,

00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:23.659
 accurate

00:08:23.659 --> 00:08:25.539
 self-assessment,

00:08:25.799 --> 00:08:27.519
 self-analysis.

00:08:28.559 --> 00:08:29.439
 David didn't

00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:30.919
 and neither do we

00:08:30.919 --> 00:08:32.679
 because sin

00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:34.600
 is deceitful.

00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:36.540
 it was the Puritan

00:08:36.540 --> 00:08:37.500
 John Flavel

00:08:37.500 --> 00:08:38.000
 who said

00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:39.080
 that you are

00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:39.860
 more likely

00:08:39.860 --> 00:08:40.500
 today

00:08:40.500 --> 00:08:42.480
 to stop the sun

00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:43.840
 in its tracks

00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:45.440
 or to make

00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:47.220
 rivers run uphill

00:08:47.220 --> 00:08:48.700
 than you are

00:08:48.700 --> 00:08:49.540
 to order

00:08:49.540 --> 00:08:50.840
 or rule

00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:52.139
 your own heart.

00:08:53.019 --> 00:08:53.759
 Think about that.

00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:54.659
 You are more likely

00:08:54.659 --> 00:08:56.000
 to stop the sun

00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:56.920
 moving

00:08:56.920 --> 00:08:58.820
 east to west

00:08:58.820 --> 00:09:00.600
 than you are

00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:02.000
 to rule

00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:02.440
 and order

00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:03.240
 your own heart.

00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:05.019
 and that is

00:09:05.019 --> 00:09:05.680
 the fact

00:09:05.680 --> 00:09:06.940
 of sin.

00:09:06.940 --> 00:09:07.879
 It is

00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:09.180
 deceitful.

00:09:10.139 --> 00:09:11.139
 So what was it

00:09:11.139 --> 00:09:12.600
 that brought

00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:13.200
 David

00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:14.340
 to repentance?

00:09:15.340 --> 00:09:16.399
 Well the answer is there

00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:17.399
 in the superscription.

00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:19.060
 Divine

00:09:19.060 --> 00:09:20.340
 revelation.

00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:22.320
 A psalm of David

00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:23.080
 that he wrote

00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:24.259
 when

00:09:24.259 --> 00:09:25.240
 Nathan

00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:26.419
 the prophet

00:09:26.419 --> 00:09:27.259
 went to him.

00:09:27.259 --> 00:09:37.120
 confession of sin

00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:51.879
 comes only

00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:53.399
 through divine

00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:54.299
 revelation.

00:09:54.299 --> 00:09:59.319
 confession of sin

00:09:59.319 --> 00:10:00.839
 faces sin

00:10:00.839 --> 00:10:01.919
 square on.

00:10:02.219 --> 00:10:03.279
 Confession of sin

00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:05.120
 faces sin

00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:05.919
 square on.

00:10:05.959 --> 00:10:06.639
 Verses 1

00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:07.740
 to 6

00:10:07.740 --> 00:10:08.659
 Now I should warn you

00:10:08.659 --> 00:10:09.959
 this point is the

00:10:09.959 --> 00:10:10.740
 longest of all

00:10:10.740 --> 00:10:11.519
 of the five

00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:12.699
 because if we are

00:10:12.699 --> 00:10:13.459
 going to confess

00:10:13.459 --> 00:10:14.479
 our sins are right

00:10:14.479 --> 00:10:15.179
 then we need to

00:10:15.179 --> 00:10:16.359
 first understand

00:10:16.359 --> 00:10:18.019
 exactly what sin is.

00:10:18.779 --> 00:10:19.179
 And David

00:10:19.179 --> 00:10:20.159
 gives us a very

00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:21.859
 comprehensive view

00:10:21.860 --> 00:10:22.440
 of sin.

00:10:23.139 --> 00:10:24.000
 He covers three

00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:24.720
 aspects.

00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:26.180
 Its definition

00:10:26.180 --> 00:10:28.100
 its defilement

00:10:28.100 --> 00:10:29.740
 and its dimensions.

00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:31.740
 Let's look at

00:10:31.740 --> 00:10:33.220
 sin's definition

00:10:33.220 --> 00:10:34.639
 verses 1 and 2.

00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:35.440
 Have mercy

00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:36.360
 on me

00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:36.820
 O God

00:10:36.820 --> 00:10:37.480
 according to

00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:38.379
 your steadfast

00:10:38.379 --> 00:10:38.800
 love

00:10:38.800 --> 00:10:39.919
 according to

00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:40.659
 your abundant

00:10:40.659 --> 00:10:41.519
 mercy

00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:42.379
 blot out

00:10:42.379 --> 00:10:44.100
 my transgressions

00:10:44.100 --> 00:10:44.740
 wash me

00:10:44.740 --> 00:10:45.300
 thoroughly

00:10:45.300 --> 00:10:46.379
 from my

00:10:46.379 --> 00:10:46.879
 iniquity

00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:47.620
 and cleanse

00:10:47.620 --> 00:10:47.980
 me

00:10:47.980 --> 00:10:49.060
 from my

00:10:49.060 --> 00:10:49.560
 sin.

00:10:50.259 --> 00:10:50.960
 Did you notice

00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:51.920
 the different

00:10:51.920 --> 00:10:52.740
 ways David

00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:53.519
 refers to

00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:54.400
 his crimes

00:10:54.400 --> 00:10:56.160
 transgressions

00:10:56.160 --> 00:10:57.379
 iniquity

00:10:57.379 --> 00:10:58.240
 sin

00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:00.700
 transgression

00:11:00.700 --> 00:11:01.460
 in verse 1

00:11:01.460 --> 00:11:02.240
 refers to

00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:02.980
 rebellion

00:11:02.980 --> 00:11:03.840
 the breaking

00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:04.639
 of God's

00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:05.379
 law

00:11:05.379 --> 00:11:06.519
 transgression

00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:07.519
 is willful

00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:08.560
 deliberate

00:11:08.560 --> 00:11:09.420
 defiant

00:11:09.420 --> 00:11:10.180
 acts of

00:11:10.180 --> 00:11:10.700
 rebellion

00:11:10.700 --> 00:11:12.019
 at the heart

00:11:12.019 --> 00:11:12.639
 of a human

00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:13.160
 being

00:11:13.160 --> 00:11:14.440
 is a rebel

00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:15.780
 I'm sure

00:11:15.780 --> 00:11:16.440
 you have

00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:17.519
 seen that

00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:18.139
 perhaps with

00:11:18.139 --> 00:11:18.639
 some of your

00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:19.320
 children or

00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:20.100
 other people's

00:11:20.100 --> 00:11:20.460
 children

00:11:20.460 --> 00:11:21.300
 you say

00:11:21.300 --> 00:11:21.700
 to your

00:11:21.700 --> 00:11:22.100
 child

00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:22.800
 don't touch

00:11:22.800 --> 00:11:23.180
 that

00:11:23.180 --> 00:11:24.980
 and then

00:11:24.980 --> 00:11:25.400
 what do you

00:11:25.400 --> 00:11:25.820
 find them

00:11:25.820 --> 00:11:26.519
 doing within

00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:27.580
 30 seconds

00:11:27.580 --> 00:11:29.060
 sort of

00:11:29.060 --> 00:11:30.280
 just loitering

00:11:30.280 --> 00:11:32.060
 around the

00:11:32.060 --> 00:11:32.519
 thing you

00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:33.100
 said don't

00:11:33.100 --> 00:11:33.580
 touch

00:11:33.580 --> 00:11:35.220
 and then

00:11:35.220 --> 00:11:36.220
 they go

00:11:36.220 --> 00:11:36.680
 to touch

00:11:36.680 --> 00:11:36.920
 it

00:11:36.920 --> 00:11:37.800
 what is

00:11:37.800 --> 00:11:37.980
 that

00:11:37.980 --> 00:11:38.460
 that is

00:11:38.460 --> 00:11:39.379
 defiant

00:11:39.379 --> 00:11:40.580
 rebellion

00:11:40.580 --> 00:11:41.720
 I remember

00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:42.840
 a friend of

00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:43.580
 mine years

00:11:43.580 --> 00:11:44.139
 ago in a

00:11:44.139 --> 00:11:44.440
 church

00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:45.040
 he'd become

00:11:45.040 --> 00:11:45.800
 a grandfather

00:11:45.800 --> 00:11:48.000
 and he

00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:48.820
 tells a story

00:11:48.820 --> 00:11:49.259
 of when his

00:11:49.259 --> 00:11:49.659
 daughter

00:11:49.659 --> 00:11:50.639
 his granddaughter

00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:51.120
 came into

00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:51.519
 the house

00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:52.000
 one day

00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:52.240
 and she

00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:52.819
 came in

00:11:52.819 --> 00:11:53.799
 and in the

00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:54.159
 hallway

00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:55.120
 his wife

00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:55.460
 had this

00:11:55.460 --> 00:11:55.939
 beautiful

00:11:55.939 --> 00:11:56.580
 vase

00:11:56.580 --> 00:11:57.580
 at a table

00:11:57.580 --> 00:11:58.220
 about knee

00:11:58.220 --> 00:11:58.659
 height

00:11:58.659 --> 00:12:00.340
 and they

00:12:00.340 --> 00:12:00.799
 came into

00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:01.200
 the house

00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:01.460
 and the

00:12:01.460 --> 00:12:02.019
 little daughter

00:12:02.019 --> 00:12:02.279
 went

00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:02.799
 she was about

00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:03.200
 three years

00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:03.379
 old

00:12:03.379 --> 00:12:03.679
 she went

00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:04.220
 straight for

00:12:04.220 --> 00:12:04.860
 the vase

00:12:04.860 --> 00:12:07.379
 and the

00:12:07.379 --> 00:12:08.159
 mother and

00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:08.600
 the grandmother

00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:09.139
 said now

00:12:09.139 --> 00:12:09.659
 this is a

00:12:09.659 --> 00:12:10.399
 beautiful vase

00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:10.960
 we don't want

00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:11.500
 you to touch

00:12:11.500 --> 00:12:11.960
 it so

00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:12.960
 come into

00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:13.379
 the living

00:12:13.379 --> 00:12:13.700
 room

00:12:13.700 --> 00:12:14.620
 and the

00:12:14.620 --> 00:12:15.019
 mother was

00:12:15.019 --> 00:12:15.700
 very clear

00:12:15.700 --> 00:12:16.280
 this is

00:12:16.280 --> 00:12:16.980
 grandmother's

00:12:16.980 --> 00:12:17.320
 vase

00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:17.900
 you do

00:12:17.900 --> 00:12:18.600
 not touch

00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:19.460
 this vase

00:12:19.460 --> 00:12:20.759
 well within

00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:21.400
 a few minutes

00:12:21.400 --> 00:12:22.140
 everyone was

00:12:22.140 --> 00:12:22.700
 in the living

00:12:22.700 --> 00:12:23.440
 room enjoying

00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:24.460
 conversation

00:12:24.460 --> 00:12:24.800
 and the

00:12:24.800 --> 00:12:25.300
 grandfather

00:12:25.300 --> 00:12:25.840
 sitting in

00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:26.140
 the chair

00:12:26.140 --> 00:12:26.640
 noticed that

00:12:26.640 --> 00:12:27.220
 the granddaughter

00:12:27.220 --> 00:12:27.860
 made her way

00:12:27.860 --> 00:12:28.560
 back out into

00:12:28.560 --> 00:12:29.200
 the hallway

00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:30.660
 towards this

00:12:30.660 --> 00:12:31.500
 little table

00:12:31.500 --> 00:12:33.080
 and the door

00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:34.379
 was ajar

00:12:34.379 --> 00:12:34.960
 so he could

00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:35.420
 see out

00:12:35.420 --> 00:12:35.960
 and she

00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:37.520
 went to the

00:12:37.520 --> 00:12:37.960
 table and

00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:38.360
 she sort of

00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:38.820
 looked over

00:12:38.820 --> 00:12:39.460
 her shoulder

00:12:39.460 --> 00:12:40.280
 took her

00:12:40.280 --> 00:12:41.060
 vase and

00:12:41.060 --> 00:12:41.660
 pushed it

00:12:41.660 --> 00:12:42.560
 onto the

00:12:42.560 --> 00:12:42.920
 ground

00:12:42.920 --> 00:12:43.259
 and it

00:12:43.259 --> 00:12:43.820
 smashed

00:12:43.820 --> 00:12:46.480
 now what

00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:47.140
 is that

00:12:47.140 --> 00:12:49.140
 that is

00:12:49.140 --> 00:12:50.400
 transgression

00:12:50.400 --> 00:12:51.940
 that is a

00:12:51.940 --> 00:12:52.480
 deliberate

00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:54.120
 defiant

00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:55.300
 rebellion

00:12:55.300 --> 00:12:56.760
 against a

00:12:56.760 --> 00:12:57.220
 mother's

00:12:57.220 --> 00:12:57.560
 rule

00:12:57.560 --> 00:12:59.320
 and that is

00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:00.240
 what transgression

00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:00.860
 is in the

00:13:00.860 --> 00:13:01.180
 bible

00:13:01.180 --> 00:13:02.379
 god gives

00:13:02.379 --> 00:13:02.879
 us his

00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:03.340
 law

00:13:03.340 --> 00:13:04.460
 and we

00:13:04.460 --> 00:13:05.220
 deliberately

00:13:05.220 --> 00:13:06.620
 break it

00:13:06.620 --> 00:13:08.760
 the second

00:13:08.760 --> 00:13:09.380
 word is

00:13:09.380 --> 00:13:10.240
 iniquity

00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:11.300
 verse 2

00:13:11.300 --> 00:13:12.860
 this refers

00:13:12.860 --> 00:13:14.139
 to perversity

00:13:14.139 --> 00:13:14.600
 it means

00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:15.360
 to bend

00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:15.879
 or to

00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:16.519
 pervert

00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:17.639
 it's used

00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:18.100
 in some

00:13:18.100 --> 00:13:18.879
 context of

00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:19.779
 straying off

00:13:19.779 --> 00:13:20.500
 a path

00:13:20.500 --> 00:13:21.639
 waywardness

00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:23.139
 of the

00:13:23.139 --> 00:13:23.980
 three terms

00:13:23.980 --> 00:13:24.399
 here

00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:25.379
 this is the

00:13:25.379 --> 00:13:26.460
 internal word

00:13:26.460 --> 00:13:27.000
 it refers

00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:27.820
 to the

00:13:27.820 --> 00:13:28.399
 warped

00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:29.000
 human

00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:29.779
 nature

00:13:29.779 --> 00:13:30.340
 bent

00:13:30.340 --> 00:13:30.899
 from the

00:13:30.899 --> 00:13:31.620
 inside

00:13:31.620 --> 00:13:32.639
 it's like

00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:33.240
 one writer

00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:33.779
 calls it

00:13:33.779 --> 00:13:34.840
 the incurve

00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:35.899
 the incurvature

00:13:35.899 --> 00:13:37.539
 human beings

00:13:37.539 --> 00:13:38.279
 are bent

00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:38.899
 on the

00:13:38.899 --> 00:13:39.539
 inside

00:13:39.539 --> 00:13:41.319
 when I see

00:13:41.319 --> 00:13:41.719
 this word

00:13:41.719 --> 00:13:41.959
 in the

00:13:41.959 --> 00:13:42.179
 bible

00:13:42.179 --> 00:13:42.719
 I think

00:13:42.719 --> 00:13:42.899
 of

00:13:42.899 --> 00:13:43.459
 golem

00:13:43.459 --> 00:13:44.319
 in lord

00:13:44.319 --> 00:13:44.659
 of the

00:13:44.659 --> 00:13:44.879
 rings

00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:45.179
 you know

00:13:45.179 --> 00:13:45.419
 that

00:13:45.419 --> 00:13:46.099
 pathetic

00:13:46.099 --> 00:13:47.059
 creature

00:13:47.059 --> 00:13:48.079
 who grasped

00:13:48.079 --> 00:13:48.459
 for the

00:13:48.459 --> 00:13:49.039
 precious

00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:50.459
 the ring

00:13:50.459 --> 00:13:51.779
 only to

00:13:51.779 --> 00:13:52.599
 find himself

00:13:52.599 --> 00:13:53.179
 bent

00:13:53.179 --> 00:13:53.779
 inward

00:13:53.779 --> 00:13:54.339
 left

00:13:54.339 --> 00:13:55.339
 with only

00:13:55.339 --> 00:13:55.939
 himself

00:13:55.939 --> 00:13:56.559
 imprisoned

00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:57.179
 by his

00:13:57.179 --> 00:13:57.459
 own

00:13:57.459 --> 00:13:58.319
 jealousies

00:13:58.319 --> 00:13:59.019
 and hatred

00:13:59.019 --> 00:14:01.219
 the groove

00:14:01.219 --> 00:14:01.959
 of the

00:14:01.959 --> 00:14:02.860
 incurve

00:14:02.860 --> 00:14:04.159
 had taken

00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:04.879
 its toll

00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:06.120
 and he

00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:06.539
 had just

00:14:06.539 --> 00:14:07.120
 continued

00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:07.980
 to down

00:14:07.980 --> 00:14:08.700
 spiral

00:14:08.700 --> 00:14:10.000
 in his

00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:10.759
 depravity

00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:11.559
 that

00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:12.299
 is a

00:14:12.299 --> 00:14:12.679
 picture

00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:13.500
 of

00:14:13.500 --> 00:14:14.179
 iniquity

00:14:14.179 --> 00:14:15.639
 perversity

00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:17.019
 the

00:14:17.019 --> 00:14:17.960
 incurve

00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:19.460
 and then

00:14:19.460 --> 00:14:19.759
 there is

00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:20.100
 the word

00:14:20.100 --> 00:14:20.639
 sin

00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:21.759
 this is

00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:22.399
 referring

00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:23.240
 this refers

00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:24.179
 to failure

00:14:24.179 --> 00:14:24.820
 to missing

00:14:24.820 --> 00:14:25.399
 the mark

00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:25.840
 like an

00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:26.299
 arrow

00:14:26.299 --> 00:14:27.419
 that falls

00:14:27.419 --> 00:14:27.879
 short

00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:28.259
 of its

00:14:28.259 --> 00:14:28.840
 target

00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:30.059
 God's

00:14:30.059 --> 00:14:30.580
 glory

00:14:30.580 --> 00:14:31.399
 and holiness

00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:31.919
 is the

00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:32.340
 target

00:14:32.340 --> 00:14:33.519
 and we

00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:34.159
 have

00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:34.600
 fallen

00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:35.079
 short

00:14:35.079 --> 00:14:35.439
 of that

00:14:35.439 --> 00:14:35.740
 but we

00:14:35.740 --> 00:14:36.059
 mustn't

00:14:36.059 --> 00:14:36.339
 think

00:14:36.339 --> 00:14:37.159
 that we

00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:37.740
 were trying

00:14:37.740 --> 00:14:38.379
 to aim

00:14:38.379 --> 00:14:38.759
 for the

00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:39.139
 target

00:14:39.139 --> 00:14:40.399
 and we

00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:40.759
 were just

00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:41.579
 unfortunate

00:14:41.579 --> 00:14:42.319
 not to

00:14:42.319 --> 00:14:42.799
 hit it

00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:43.519
 no

00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:44.240
 as we

00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:44.799
 were aiming

00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:45.259
 for the

00:14:45.259 --> 00:14:45.659
 target

00:14:45.659 --> 00:14:46.480
 we

00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:47.240
 deliberately

00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:47.740
 moved

00:14:47.740 --> 00:14:48.419
 our arm

00:14:48.419 --> 00:14:49.600
 so that

00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:50.039
 we missed

00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:50.679
 the target

00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:52.059
 this word

00:14:52.059 --> 00:14:52.659
 sin needs

00:14:52.659 --> 00:14:52.919
 to be

00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:53.339
 understood

00:14:53.339 --> 00:14:54.319
 in the

00:14:54.319 --> 00:14:54.799
 context

00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:55.179
 of the

00:14:55.179 --> 00:14:55.659
 other two

00:14:55.659 --> 00:14:56.000
 words

00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:56.819
 transgression

00:14:56.819 --> 00:14:57.779
 and iniquity

00:14:57.779 --> 00:14:58.980
 we deliberately

00:14:58.980 --> 00:14:59.579
 wanted

00:14:59.579 --> 00:15:00.699
 to miss

00:15:00.699 --> 00:15:01.600
 God's

00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:02.279
 target

00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:03.279
 and so

00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:03.639
 there we

00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:04.000
 have it

00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:04.700
 the terrible

00:15:04.700 --> 00:15:05.820
 threesome

00:15:05.820 --> 00:15:07.039
 of human

00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:08.240
 depravity

00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:09.200
 transgression

00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:10.440
 iniquity

00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:11.720
 and sin

00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:12.720
 and it is

00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:13.440
 these three

00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:14.179
 words in the

00:15:14.179 --> 00:15:14.899
 Old Testament

00:15:14.899 --> 00:15:16.659
 that capture

00:15:16.659 --> 00:15:18.039
 the concept

00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:18.759
 of sin

00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:20.360
 and David

00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:21.700
 defines his

00:15:21.700 --> 00:15:22.539
 actions with

00:15:22.539 --> 00:15:23.220
 all three

00:15:23.220 --> 00:15:23.759
 words

00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:25.960
 that is

00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:26.600
 sin's

00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:27.659
 definition

00:15:27.659 --> 00:15:28.559
 then there is

00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:29.700
 sin's

00:15:29.700 --> 00:15:30.659
 defilement

00:15:30.659 --> 00:15:32.039
 did you

00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:32.419
 notice

00:15:32.419 --> 00:15:33.559
 the verbs

00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:34.079
 that David

00:15:34.079 --> 00:15:34.519
 uses

00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:35.199
 verse 1

00:15:35.199 --> 00:15:36.179
 blot

00:15:36.179 --> 00:15:36.559
 out

00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:38.019
 verse 2

00:15:38.019 --> 00:15:38.939
 wash

00:15:38.939 --> 00:15:39.199
 me

00:15:39.199 --> 00:15:39.759
 thoroughly

00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:41.199
 verse 2

00:15:41.199 --> 00:15:42.079
 cleanse

00:15:42.079 --> 00:15:42.419
 me

00:15:42.419 --> 00:15:44.399
 what picture

00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:45.059
 do those

00:15:45.059 --> 00:15:45.740
 words

00:15:45.740 --> 00:15:46.419
 give you

00:15:46.419 --> 00:15:49.500
 remember

00:15:49.500 --> 00:15:50.059
 years ago

00:15:50.059 --> 00:15:50.379
 as a

00:15:50.379 --> 00:15:51.219
 physiotherapist

00:15:51.219 --> 00:15:51.819
 working in a

00:15:51.819 --> 00:15:52.219
 hospital

00:15:52.219 --> 00:15:53.019
 and on a

00:15:53.019 --> 00:15:53.759
 few occasions

00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:54.779
 when I was

00:15:54.779 --> 00:15:55.299
 working with

00:15:55.299 --> 00:15:56.219
 spinal cord

00:15:56.219 --> 00:15:56.659
 injury

00:15:56.659 --> 00:15:57.259
 patients

00:15:57.259 --> 00:15:58.620
 I got

00:15:58.620 --> 00:15:59.220
 human

00:15:59.220 --> 00:15:59.819
 feces

00:15:59.819 --> 00:16:00.559
 on my

00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:01.019
 hands

00:16:01.019 --> 00:16:01.379
 and my

00:16:01.379 --> 00:16:01.899
 clothes

00:16:01.899 --> 00:16:03.720
 and I

00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:04.080
 remember

00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:04.779
 the feeling

00:16:04.779 --> 00:16:05.240
 of it

00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:06.179
 I wanted

00:16:06.179 --> 00:16:07.139
 to blot

00:16:07.139 --> 00:16:07.700
 out the

00:16:07.700 --> 00:16:08.039
 dirt

00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:09.340
 I wanted

00:16:09.340 --> 00:16:10.000
 to run

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:10.559
 to a

00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:11.240
 shower room

00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:11.639
 and get

00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:12.259
 out of my

00:16:12.259 --> 00:16:12.819
 clothes

00:16:12.819 --> 00:16:14.039
 and burn

00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:14.840
 the clothes

00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:15.819
 not just get

00:16:15.819 --> 00:16:16.379
 them washed

00:16:16.379 --> 00:16:16.779
 I wanted

00:16:16.779 --> 00:16:17.399
 to burn

00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:17.679
 them

00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:18.939
 and I wanted

00:16:18.939 --> 00:16:19.379
 to get in

00:16:19.379 --> 00:16:19.879
 a hot

00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:20.439
 shower

00:16:20.439 --> 00:16:21.019
 and I want

00:16:21.019 --> 00:16:21.220
 to get

00:16:21.220 --> 00:16:21.879
 my hands

00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:22.240
 in it

00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:23.080
 and I wanted

00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:23.620
 to be

00:16:23.620 --> 00:16:24.299
 thoroughly

00:16:24.299 --> 00:16:25.779
 cleansed

00:16:25.779 --> 00:16:26.860
 and that

00:16:26.860 --> 00:16:27.220
 is the

00:16:27.220 --> 00:16:27.620
 picture

00:16:27.620 --> 00:16:28.159
 that David

00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:28.740
 gives us

00:16:28.740 --> 00:16:29.039
 here

00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:29.879
 sin

00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:31.059
 stinks

00:16:31.059 --> 00:16:32.659
 sin

00:16:32.659 --> 00:16:33.980
 defiles

00:16:33.980 --> 00:16:35.079
 sin

00:16:35.079 --> 00:16:36.500
 stains

00:16:36.500 --> 00:16:38.179
 and what

00:16:38.179 --> 00:16:39.100
 David wants

00:16:39.100 --> 00:16:39.819
 is to be

00:16:39.819 --> 00:16:40.500
 thoroughly

00:16:40.500 --> 00:16:41.240
 washed

00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:42.120
 to be

00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:42.659
 thoroughly

00:16:42.659 --> 00:16:43.620
 cleansed

00:16:43.620 --> 00:16:44.360
 from the

00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:45.279
 defilement

00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:46.399
 of sin

00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:48.720
 well he

00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:49.379
 gives us

00:16:49.379 --> 00:16:49.819
 sin's

00:16:49.819 --> 00:16:50.360
 definition

00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:50.919
 he gives

00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:51.259
 us

00:16:51.259 --> 00:16:52.179
 sin's

00:16:52.179 --> 00:16:52.799
 defilement

00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:53.079
 but he

00:16:53.079 --> 00:16:53.699
 also gives

00:16:53.699 --> 00:16:54.039
 us

00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:54.860
 various

00:16:54.860 --> 00:16:55.639
 dimensions

00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:56.519
 of sin

00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:57.399
 verses

00:16:57.399 --> 00:16:58.600
 3-6

00:16:58.600 --> 00:16:59.659
 this

00:16:59.659 --> 00:17:00.360
 aspect

00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:00.879
 of sin

00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:01.279
 relates

00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:01.740
 to its

00:17:01.740 --> 00:17:03.019
 inescapability

00:17:03.019 --> 00:17:03.559
 did you

00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:04.019
 notice the

00:17:04.019 --> 00:17:04.319
 word

00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:05.339
 for

00:17:05.339 --> 00:17:05.740
 at the

00:17:05.740 --> 00:17:06.019
 beginning

00:17:06.019 --> 00:17:06.500
 of verse

00:17:06.500 --> 00:17:06.920
 3

00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:08.099
 David

00:17:08.099 --> 00:17:08.720
 wants his

00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:09.039
 sin

00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:09.460
 blotted

00:17:09.460 --> 00:17:09.740
 out

00:17:09.740 --> 00:17:10.000
 and he

00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:10.379
 wants

00:17:10.379 --> 00:17:11.059
 himself

00:17:11.059 --> 00:17:11.900
 washed

00:17:11.900 --> 00:17:12.900
 and cleansed

00:17:12.900 --> 00:17:13.559
 because

00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:15.480
 his sin

00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:16.740
 is inescapable

00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:17.279
 for

00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:17.920
 my

00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:18.980
 transgressions

00:17:18.980 --> 00:17:19.359
 and my

00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:19.779
 sin

00:17:19.779 --> 00:17:21.019
 is ever

00:17:21.019 --> 00:17:21.980
 before me

00:17:21.980 --> 00:17:23.400
 that is

00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:23.940
 the first

00:17:23.940 --> 00:17:24.940
 dimension

00:17:24.940 --> 00:17:25.880
 the outward

00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:27.019
 dimension

00:17:27.019 --> 00:17:27.620
 sin

00:17:27.620 --> 00:17:28.940
 is outside

00:17:28.940 --> 00:17:29.380
 him

00:17:29.380 --> 00:17:30.840
 staring

00:17:30.840 --> 00:17:31.340
 him

00:17:31.340 --> 00:17:31.900
 down

00:17:31.900 --> 00:17:33.200
 his language

00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:33.940
 conveys the

00:17:33.940 --> 00:17:34.480
 idea of

00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:34.960
 guilt

00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:35.720
 that is

00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:36.200
 attached

00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:36.700
 to sin

00:17:36.700 --> 00:17:38.080
 that external

00:17:38.080 --> 00:17:38.759
 burden

00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:39.559
 that you

00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:40.180
 feel

00:17:40.180 --> 00:17:41.120
 when you

00:17:41.120 --> 00:17:41.980
 have sinned

00:17:41.980 --> 00:17:43.380
 the guilt

00:17:43.380 --> 00:17:45.039
 and the

00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:45.539
 dread

00:17:45.539 --> 00:17:46.480
 of what

00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:46.799
 you have

00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:47.180
 done

00:17:47.180 --> 00:17:48.299
 then there's

00:17:48.299 --> 00:17:48.920
 the vertical

00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:49.559
 dimension

00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:50.259
 verse 4

00:17:50.259 --> 00:17:51.660
 against you

00:17:51.660 --> 00:17:52.220
 only

00:17:52.220 --> 00:17:54.519
 against you

00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:55.380
 you only

00:17:55.380 --> 00:17:56.019
 have I

00:17:56.019 --> 00:17:56.440
 sinned

00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:56.800
 and done

00:17:56.800 --> 00:17:57.160
 what is

00:17:57.160 --> 00:17:57.560
 evil

00:17:57.560 --> 00:17:58.480
 in your

00:17:58.480 --> 00:17:59.000
 sight

00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:00.420
 now I'm

00:18:00.420 --> 00:18:00.759
 sure you

00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:01.220
 notice the

00:18:01.220 --> 00:18:01.660
 anomaly

00:18:01.660 --> 00:18:02.060
 there

00:18:02.060 --> 00:18:03.019
 against you

00:18:03.019 --> 00:18:04.080
 you only

00:18:04.080 --> 00:18:04.900
 have I

00:18:04.900 --> 00:18:05.600
 sinned

00:18:05.600 --> 00:18:06.540
 and done

00:18:06.540 --> 00:18:06.880
 what is

00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:07.279
 evil

00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:07.600
 in your

00:18:07.600 --> 00:18:07.779
 sight

00:18:07.779 --> 00:18:08.000
 I mean

00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:09.040
 was David

00:18:09.040 --> 00:18:09.960
 sucking back

00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:10.460
 too much

00:18:10.460 --> 00:18:10.840
 and a bit

00:18:10.840 --> 00:18:11.900
 Israeli wine

00:18:11.900 --> 00:18:12.380
 or something

00:18:12.380 --> 00:18:12.720
 when he

00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:13.279
 wrote this

00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:15.320
 I mean

00:18:15.320 --> 00:18:16.040
 who has he

00:18:16.040 --> 00:18:16.360
 sinned

00:18:16.360 --> 00:18:16.759
 against

00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:18.099
 he sinned

00:18:18.099 --> 00:18:18.599
 against

00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:19.660
 Bathsheba

00:18:19.660 --> 00:18:20.759
 he sinned

00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:21.240
 against

00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:22.160
 Joab

00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:23.019
 he sinned

00:18:23.019 --> 00:18:23.379
 against

00:18:23.379 --> 00:18:24.220
 the nation

00:18:24.220 --> 00:18:25.059
 he sinned

00:18:25.059 --> 00:18:25.440
 against

00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:26.259
 Uriah

00:18:26.259 --> 00:18:26.980
 he sinned

00:18:26.980 --> 00:18:27.339
 against

00:18:27.339 --> 00:18:27.839
 the people

00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:28.359
 who died

00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:28.920
 in battle

00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:29.440
 beside

00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:30.140
 Uriah

00:18:30.140 --> 00:18:30.940
 he sinned

00:18:30.940 --> 00:18:31.220
 against

00:18:31.220 --> 00:18:31.819
 his whole

00:18:31.819 --> 00:18:32.319
 army

00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:33.119
 he sinned

00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:33.480
 against

00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:34.319
 his servants

00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:34.980
 who called

00:18:34.980 --> 00:18:35.839
 Bathsheba

00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:36.319
 to come

00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:36.680
 to his

00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:37.039
 room

00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:37.819
 he sinned

00:18:37.819 --> 00:18:38.140
 against

00:18:38.140 --> 00:18:38.640
 everyone

00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:39.879
 who hasn't

00:18:39.879 --> 00:18:40.379
 he sinned

00:18:40.379 --> 00:18:40.920
 against

00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:42.359
 he sinned

00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:42.700
 against

00:18:42.700 --> 00:18:43.200
 his own

00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:43.799
 wives

00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:48.139
 yet here he says

00:18:48.139 --> 00:18:51.319
 against you, you only

00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:52.599
 it's emphatic

00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:55.299
 I have sinned

00:18:55.299 --> 00:18:58.940
 what is the point that he's trying to make

00:18:58.940 --> 00:19:00.839
 well it's surely this

00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:04.139
 that in a sense when we sin

00:19:04.139 --> 00:19:07.200
 no matter the collateral damage

00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:11.159
 at the end of the day it all pales into insignificance

00:19:11.159 --> 00:19:13.659
 because God is God

00:19:13.660 --> 00:19:18.240
 he is thrice holy as we have sang this morning

00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:20.779
 and when we sin

00:19:20.779 --> 00:19:25.180
 the primary person against whom we have sinned is God

00:19:25.180 --> 00:19:28.200
 that's why David actually chooses a new word

00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:29.759
 to define his actions

00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.200
 he doesn't choose transgression or iniquity or sin

00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:34.880
 do you see that in verse 4

00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:36.600
 he uses a new word, evil

00:19:36.600 --> 00:19:41.200
 he sees his sin in a whole new dimension

00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:44.960
 when it is seen before the face of God

00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:48.319
 this whole escapade with Bathsheba

00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:50.620
 and Uriah and the lies

00:19:50.620 --> 00:19:53.240
 and the affair and the murder

00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:58.259
 it is one heinous act of evil

00:19:58.259 --> 00:19:59.839
 in God's sight

00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:04.039
 so that's the vertical dimension

00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:05.420
 we've seen the outward one

00:20:05.420 --> 00:20:06.259
 the vertical one

00:20:06.259 --> 00:20:07.660
 and then there's an inward one

00:20:07.660 --> 00:20:10.059
 verses 5 to 6

00:20:10.059 --> 00:20:12.839
 this is the dimension that is internal

00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:13.480
 internal

00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:17.299
 behold I was brought forth in iniquity

00:20:17.299 --> 00:20:20.199
 and in sin did my mother conceive me

00:20:20.199 --> 00:20:22.699
 behold you delight in truth

00:20:22.699 --> 00:20:24.259
 in the inward being

00:20:24.259 --> 00:20:26.419
 and you teach me wisdom

00:20:26.419 --> 00:20:28.959
 in the secret heart

00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:31.500
 I remember at Bible college

00:20:31.500 --> 00:20:33.340
 the principal coming in one day

00:20:33.340 --> 00:20:35.420
 he was teaching us original sin

00:20:35.420 --> 00:20:36.799
 and he said

00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:39.420
 he had just had a granddaughter

00:20:39.420 --> 00:20:40.279
 who'd been born

00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:43.259
 and he started the class by saying

00:20:43.259 --> 00:20:45.000
 my beautiful granddaughter

00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.140
 is making me doubt the doctrine

00:20:48.140 --> 00:20:49.960
 of original sin

00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:53.640
 now he was only joking

00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:56.900
 but David here is not playing around

00:20:56.900 --> 00:20:57.420
 is he?

00:20:58.059 --> 00:21:00.360
 as he wriggled forth

00:21:00.360 --> 00:21:02.539
 that's actually what the Hebrew says

00:21:02.539 --> 00:21:06.559
 as I wriggled forth from my mother

00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:09.740
 I wriggled in iniquity

00:21:09.740 --> 00:21:13.299
 I came out of my mother

00:21:13.299 --> 00:21:16.100
 with the incurve at work

00:21:16.100 --> 00:21:17.840
 with perversity

00:21:17.840 --> 00:21:19.559
 with waywardness

00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:21.379
 cute and cuddly

00:21:21.379 --> 00:21:22.879
 on the outside

00:21:22.879 --> 00:21:25.119
 but with the incurve

00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:26.440
 on the inside

00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:29.000
 but he doesn't just stop there

00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:29.960
 at his birth

00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:31.319
 as if that wasn't enough

00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:32.039
 he goes back

00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:34.639
 to the very moment of conception

00:21:34.639 --> 00:21:36.500
 that moment when

00:21:36.500 --> 00:21:39.339
 one sperm out of hundreds of millions

00:21:39.339 --> 00:21:40.919
 fertilized an egg

00:21:40.919 --> 00:21:41.639
 in his mother

00:21:41.639 --> 00:21:43.579
 at that very moment

00:21:43.579 --> 00:21:45.299
 what does David say?

00:21:45.299 --> 00:21:49.680
 there was sin

00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:50.619
 present

00:21:50.619 --> 00:21:54.599
 conceived in sin

00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:57.939
 born in iniquity

00:21:57.939 --> 00:22:00.799
 I'm sure you've seen the program

00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:02.779
 one born every minute

00:22:02.779 --> 00:22:04.639
 can you imagine

00:22:04.639 --> 00:22:07.679
 after all of the screaming

00:22:07.679 --> 00:22:08.559
 and pushing

00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:09.500
 and yelling

00:22:09.500 --> 00:22:11.139
 and that's just the husband

00:22:11.139 --> 00:22:13.399
 the baby is born

00:22:13.400 --> 00:22:16.519
 and this beautiful

00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:18.780
 cute baby

00:22:18.780 --> 00:22:19.860
 is curled up

00:22:19.860 --> 00:22:21.420
 on his mother's breast

00:22:21.420 --> 00:22:23.980
 and the midwife

00:22:23.980 --> 00:22:24.560
 comes in

00:22:24.560 --> 00:22:25.259
 with one of those

00:22:25.259 --> 00:22:26.460
 helium balloons

00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:28.940
 and hands it to the husband

00:22:28.940 --> 00:22:30.420
 says congratulations

00:22:30.420 --> 00:22:32.860
 and he takes the helium balloon

00:22:32.860 --> 00:22:34.220
 and hands it to the wife

00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:36.240
 and it says congratulations

00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:37.640
 it's

00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:38.940
 a sinner

00:22:38.940 --> 00:22:41.880
 can you imagine?

00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:43.539
 and yet

00:22:43.539 --> 00:22:44.480
 that is actually

00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:46.059
 what David is saying here

00:22:46.059 --> 00:22:49.140
 from my birth

00:22:49.140 --> 00:22:51.140
 I have been like this

00:22:51.140 --> 00:22:53.500
 and the point he's making

00:22:53.500 --> 00:22:53.980
 is this

00:22:53.980 --> 00:22:55.500
 we are not sinners

00:22:55.500 --> 00:22:56.680
 because we sin

00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:57.859
 you don't first sin

00:22:57.859 --> 00:22:58.940
 and then become a sinner

00:22:58.940 --> 00:23:00.440
 what David's saying is

00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:02.960
 we sin because we are sinners

00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:05.880
 it is part of our nature

00:23:05.880 --> 00:23:07.860
 now that doesn't take away

00:23:07.860 --> 00:23:08.620
 the responsibility

00:23:08.620 --> 00:23:10.900
 but he is trying to get back

00:23:10.900 --> 00:23:12.780
 to the root of his problem

00:23:12.780 --> 00:23:14.640
 and it goes back

00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:16.020
 to his conception

00:23:16.020 --> 00:23:18.540
 to his birth

00:23:18.540 --> 00:23:22.180
 and these polluted waters

00:23:22.180 --> 00:23:23.200
 of sinful nature

00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:25.180
 they run deep within all of us

00:23:25.180 --> 00:23:26.200
 you see

00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:27.980
 there David says in verse 6

00:23:27.980 --> 00:23:29.340
 in the inward being

00:23:29.340 --> 00:23:30.780
 in the secret heart

00:23:30.780 --> 00:23:32.720
 God teaches us wisdom

00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:33.400
 God is saying

00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:34.960
 I want you to be truthful

00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:36.700
 even in the subconscious

00:23:36.700 --> 00:23:38.519
 parts of your being

00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:41.120
 let me take you back

00:23:41.120 --> 00:23:41.860
 to that incident

00:23:41.860 --> 00:23:43.500
 of my friend's granddaughter

00:23:43.500 --> 00:23:46.779
 as she went out of the room

00:23:46.779 --> 00:23:48.120
 back to the vase

00:23:48.120 --> 00:23:50.299
 the dog followed her

00:23:50.299 --> 00:23:53.000
 and the door was sort of

00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:53.860
 left ajar

00:23:53.860 --> 00:23:54.940
 and the grandfather

00:23:54.940 --> 00:23:55.440
 was watching

00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:56.039
 and she sort of

00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:56.799
 looked through and through

00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:58.860
 and she pushed the vase

00:23:58.860 --> 00:24:00.019
 onto the floor

00:24:00.019 --> 00:24:00.900
 and it smashed

00:24:00.900 --> 00:24:02.660
 and then she came

00:24:02.660 --> 00:24:03.540
 running back

00:24:03.540 --> 00:24:04.759
 into the living room

00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:05.400
 crying

00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:06.680
 and do you know

00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:07.600
 what she was saying

00:24:07.600 --> 00:24:10.440
 it was doggy

00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:11.840
 it was doggy

00:24:11.840 --> 00:24:15.060
 well it wasn't doggy

00:24:15.060 --> 00:24:17.019
 the dog stood beside her

00:24:17.019 --> 00:24:17.900
 but she was the one

00:24:17.900 --> 00:24:18.400
 who pushed her

00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:18.640
 but now

00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:20.460
 she is three years old

00:24:20.460 --> 00:24:22.200
 she has no siblings

00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:23.259
 she is the first one

00:24:23.259 --> 00:24:25.480
 where did she learn that

00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:29.380
 that is not learned behavior

00:24:29.380 --> 00:24:30.680
 that is not a child

00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:32.620
 who is mal-adjusted

00:24:32.620 --> 00:24:34.420
 or has anxiety issues

00:24:34.420 --> 00:24:37.700
 that is sin

00:24:37.700 --> 00:24:40.940
 in the deep recesses

00:24:40.940 --> 00:24:42.299
 of her conscience

00:24:42.299 --> 00:24:44.559
 to lie like that

00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:45.740
 to her mother

00:24:45.740 --> 00:24:48.039
 and what David is saying

00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:51.079
 is God requires truth

00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:51.700
 from us

00:24:51.700 --> 00:24:54.039
 even in those inner parts

00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:55.299
 of her being

00:24:55.299 --> 00:24:58.940
 well David

00:24:58.940 --> 00:25:00.059
 as you can see

00:25:00.059 --> 00:25:01.680
 has faced his sin

00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:03.480
 square on

00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:04.839
 he has taught us

00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:05.899
 the doctrine

00:25:05.899 --> 00:25:07.980
 of total depravity

00:25:07.980 --> 00:25:09.299
 our sin is original

00:25:09.299 --> 00:25:10.779
 our sin is everywhere

00:25:10.779 --> 00:25:11.980
 it is outside us

00:25:11.980 --> 00:25:13.200
 we are sinning

00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:14.200
 before God

00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:15.740
 it is inside us

00:25:15.740 --> 00:25:16.980
 David

00:25:16.980 --> 00:25:18.500
 has faced sin

00:25:18.500 --> 00:25:20.159
 square on

00:25:20.159 --> 00:25:22.619
 well number three

00:25:22.619 --> 00:25:24.859
 confession of sin

00:25:24.859 --> 00:25:26.079
 acknowledges God

00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:26.599
 alone

00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:27.959
 as the only

00:25:27.959 --> 00:25:29.319
 effective savior

00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:31.199
 confession of sin

00:25:31.199 --> 00:25:33.099
 acknowledges God

00:25:33.099 --> 00:25:33.599
 alone

00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:34.500
 as the only

00:25:34.500 --> 00:25:35.599
 effective savior

00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:36.559
 verses 7

00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:37.719
 to 12

00:25:37.719 --> 00:25:39.479
 purge me with

00:25:39.479 --> 00:25:39.879
 hyssop

00:25:39.879 --> 00:25:40.639
 and I shall be

00:25:40.639 --> 00:25:41.099
 clean

00:25:41.099 --> 00:25:42.399
 wash me

00:25:42.399 --> 00:25:43.079
 and I shall be

00:25:43.079 --> 00:25:44.119
 whiter than snow

00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:45.839
 let me hear joy

00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:46.659
 and gladness

00:25:46.659 --> 00:25:47.419
 let the bones

00:25:47.419 --> 00:25:48.219
 you have broken

00:25:48.219 --> 00:25:48.899
 rejoice

00:25:48.899 --> 00:25:50.639
 hide your face

00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:51.880
 from my sins

00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:52.940
 and blot out

00:25:52.940 --> 00:25:54.400
 all my iniquities

00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:57.020
 create in me

00:25:57.020 --> 00:25:57.759
 a clean heart

00:25:57.759 --> 00:25:58.200
 oh God

00:25:58.200 --> 00:25:58.820
 and renew

00:25:58.820 --> 00:26:00.380
 a right spirit

00:26:00.380 --> 00:26:00.960
 within me

00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:02.100
 cast me not

00:26:02.100 --> 00:26:02.940
 away from your

00:26:02.940 --> 00:26:03.440
 presence

00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:05.060
 and take not

00:26:05.060 --> 00:26:06.180
 your Holy Spirit

00:26:06.180 --> 00:26:06.759
 from me

00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:08.440
 restore to me

00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:09.300
 the joy

00:26:09.300 --> 00:26:10.900
 of your salvation

00:26:10.900 --> 00:26:12.600
 and uphold me

00:26:12.600 --> 00:26:13.720
 with a willing

00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:14.700
 spirit

00:26:14.700 --> 00:26:17.440
 what is interesting

00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:18.320
 here is that

00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:19.299
 David's request

00:26:19.299 --> 00:26:21.579
 here is that

00:26:21.579 --> 00:26:22.460
 he renews his

00:26:22.460 --> 00:26:23.059
 appeal for

00:26:23.059 --> 00:26:23.919
 cleansing in

00:26:23.919 --> 00:26:24.599
 verses 7

00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:25.179
 to 9

00:26:25.179 --> 00:26:26.179
 something that

00:26:26.179 --> 00:26:26.899
 he's asked for

00:26:26.899 --> 00:26:28.079
 in verses 1

00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:28.619
 and 2

00:26:28.619 --> 00:26:29.799
 but he adds

00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:30.319
 in another

00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:31.000
 request

00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:32.019
 verses 10

00:26:32.019 --> 00:26:33.200
 to 12

00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:34.319
 David is not

00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:35.679
 requesting here

00:26:35.679 --> 00:26:37.019
 it's the request

00:26:37.019 --> 00:26:38.200
 sorry for renewal

00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:39.700
 David's not

00:26:39.700 --> 00:26:40.980
 requesting here

00:26:40.980 --> 00:26:41.919
 the decisive

00:26:41.919 --> 00:26:42.819
 cleansing of

00:26:42.819 --> 00:26:43.220
 renewal

00:26:43.220 --> 00:26:44.019
 at conversion

00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:45.039
 but rather

00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:45.980
 the ongoing

00:26:45.980 --> 00:26:47.079
 cleansing

00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:47.899
 and renewal

00:26:47.899 --> 00:26:48.759
 in a believer's

00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:49.139
 life

00:26:49.139 --> 00:26:50.539
 we continue

00:26:50.539 --> 00:26:51.179
 the Christian

00:26:51.179 --> 00:26:51.639
 life

00:26:51.639 --> 00:26:52.899
 as we began

00:26:52.899 --> 00:26:53.119
 it

00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:53.919
 with repentance

00:26:53.919 --> 00:26:55.460
 and renewal

00:26:55.460 --> 00:26:57.199
 and you'll notice

00:26:57.199 --> 00:26:58.199
 David requests

00:26:58.199 --> 00:26:59.279
 both repentance

00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:01.199
 and renewal

00:27:01.199 --> 00:27:02.159
 sorry both

00:27:02.159 --> 00:27:02.779
 cleansing

00:27:02.779 --> 00:27:04.480
 and renewal

00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:06.559
 he wants

00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:07.359
 cleansed

00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:08.139
 and renewed

00:27:08.139 --> 00:27:08.639
 because

00:27:08.639 --> 00:27:09.980
 without cleansing

00:27:09.980 --> 00:27:11.599
 there is no

00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:12.339
 lasting

00:27:12.339 --> 00:27:13.639
 change

00:27:13.639 --> 00:27:14.399
 no lasting

00:27:14.399 --> 00:27:14.960
 renewal

00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:15.819
 but note

00:27:15.819 --> 00:27:16.380
 also the

00:27:16.380 --> 00:27:16.920
 order of

00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:17.519
 the events

00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:17.900
 or the

00:27:17.900 --> 00:27:18.519
 requests

00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:20.420
 he wants

00:27:20.420 --> 00:27:21.120
 first

00:27:21.120 --> 00:27:21.740
 to be

00:27:21.740 --> 00:27:22.740
 cleansed

00:27:22.740 --> 00:27:23.420
 and then

00:27:23.420 --> 00:27:23.819
 to be

00:27:23.819 --> 00:27:24.240
 renewed

00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:25.460
 this is

00:27:25.460 --> 00:27:26.079
 something that

00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:27.019
 secular thinking

00:27:27.019 --> 00:27:28.039
 in psychology

00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:28.980
 and sociology

00:27:28.980 --> 00:27:30.440
 has not really

00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:31.000
 grasped

00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:31.519
 what do they

00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:32.120
 try to do

00:27:32.120 --> 00:27:32.680
 they switch

00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:33.279
 that around

00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:34.600
 they try to

00:27:34.600 --> 00:27:35.340
 change the

00:27:35.340 --> 00:27:35.980
 human being

00:27:35.980 --> 00:27:36.480
 first

00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:37.460
 in order that

00:27:37.460 --> 00:27:37.840
 they might

00:27:37.840 --> 00:27:38.640
 cleanse their

00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:39.299
 conscience

00:27:39.299 --> 00:27:41.240
 but the Bible

00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:41.860
 gives us a

00:27:41.860 --> 00:27:42.860
 completely different

00:27:42.860 --> 00:27:43.559
 way of dealing

00:27:43.559 --> 00:27:44.179
 with our sin

00:27:44.179 --> 00:27:45.480
 first we need

00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:46.539
 to be cleansed

00:27:46.539 --> 00:27:47.779
 and then

00:27:47.779 --> 00:27:48.700
 we need to

00:27:48.700 --> 00:27:49.339
 be renewed

00:27:49.339 --> 00:27:50.759
 I like to

00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:51.319
 think of these

00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:52.339
 two aspects

00:27:52.339 --> 00:27:53.240
 of confession

00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:54.299
 a bit like

00:27:54.299 --> 00:27:55.000
 light and

00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:55.379
 heat

00:27:55.379 --> 00:27:57.259
 in order to

00:27:57.259 --> 00:27:57.960
 have heat

00:27:57.960 --> 00:27:58.659
 you must

00:27:58.659 --> 00:27:59.279
 first have

00:27:59.279 --> 00:27:59.779
 light

00:27:59.779 --> 00:28:01.119
 but where

00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:01.559
 there is

00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:02.099
 light

00:28:02.099 --> 00:28:03.379
 there will

00:28:03.379 --> 00:28:04.039
 be heat

00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:05.740
 and when

00:28:05.740 --> 00:28:06.359
 you ask

00:28:06.359 --> 00:28:07.119
 God to

00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:07.960
 cleanse you

00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:08.919
 he's not

00:28:08.919 --> 00:28:09.419
 just going

00:28:09.419 --> 00:28:10.000
 to cleanse

00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:10.179
 you

00:28:10.179 --> 00:28:10.799
 he wants

00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:12.000
 to change

00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:12.740
 you as well

00:28:12.740 --> 00:28:13.120
 and that

00:28:13.120 --> 00:28:13.420
 is what

00:28:13.420 --> 00:28:13.720
 is at

00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:14.279
 the heart

00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:15.480
 of confession

00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:16.700
 a request

00:28:16.700 --> 00:28:17.620
 for cleansing

00:28:17.620 --> 00:28:19.079
 and renewal

00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:21.200
 but I wonder

00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:21.740
 if you notice

00:28:21.740 --> 00:28:22.460
 what was most

00:28:22.460 --> 00:28:23.640
 striking about

00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:24.299
 the heart

00:28:24.299 --> 00:28:25.039
 of this

00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:25.640
 confession

00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:26.160
 in verses

00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:27.839
 7 to 12

00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:29.460
 every verse

00:28:29.460 --> 00:28:30.279
 that I've just

00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:30.940
 read there

00:28:30.940 --> 00:28:32.500
 contains two

00:28:32.500 --> 00:28:33.599
 imperatives

00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:35.180
 two commands

00:28:35.180 --> 00:28:36.220
 two requests

00:28:36.220 --> 00:28:37.039
 to God

00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:38.420
 that's 12

00:28:38.420 --> 00:28:39.059
 all together

00:28:39.059 --> 00:28:40.039
 in fact the

00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:40.880
 whole psalm

00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:42.060
 is dominated

00:28:42.060 --> 00:28:43.020
 by imperatives

00:28:43.020 --> 00:28:44.300
 20 times

00:28:44.300 --> 00:28:45.540
 in 19

00:28:45.540 --> 00:28:45.940
 verses

00:28:45.940 --> 00:28:46.900
 20 times

00:28:46.900 --> 00:28:47.780
 David

00:28:47.780 --> 00:28:49.040
 requests

00:28:49.040 --> 00:28:49.700
 something

00:28:49.700 --> 00:28:50.520
 from God

00:28:50.520 --> 00:28:51.440
 now that's

00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:52.000
 not just a

00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:52.500
 piece of

00:28:52.500 --> 00:28:53.440
 statistical

00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:54.380
 trivia for

00:28:54.380 --> 00:28:55.720
 the mathematicians

00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:56.120
 in the

00:28:56.120 --> 00:28:56.960
 congregation

00:28:56.960 --> 00:28:58.320
 by calling

00:28:58.320 --> 00:28:58.820
 on God

00:28:58.820 --> 00:28:59.400
 to do

00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:00.040
 something

00:29:00.040 --> 00:29:01.560
 20 times

00:29:01.560 --> 00:29:02.760
 in a matter

00:29:02.760 --> 00:29:03.420
 of 19

00:29:03.420 --> 00:29:03.760
 verses

00:29:03.760 --> 00:29:04.900
 and 12

00:29:04.900 --> 00:29:05.500
 times

00:29:05.500 --> 00:29:06.100
 in a matter

00:29:06.100 --> 00:29:06.740
 of 6

00:29:06.740 --> 00:29:07.300
 verses

00:29:07.300 --> 00:29:08.120
 in the

00:29:08.120 --> 00:29:08.320
 middle

00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:08.679
 of the

00:30:38.899 --> 00:30:39.439

 about this

 verb

 bara

 of this

00:30:55.819 --> 00:30:56.199
 verb

00:30:56.199 --> 00:30:57.859
 it's not

00:30:57.859 --> 00:30:58.159
 that the

00:30:58.159 --> 00:30:58.720
 verb means

00:30:58.720 --> 00:30:59.299
 to create

00:30:59.299 --> 00:31:00.059
 from nothing

00:31:00.059 --> 00:31:00.980
 every single

00:31:00.980 --> 00:31:01.359
 time

00:31:01.359 --> 00:31:02.119
 it does

00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:02.559
 mean that

00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:03.039
 in Genesis

00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:03.459
 1

00:31:03.459 --> 00:31:04.399
 but the

00:31:04.399 --> 00:31:04.899
 interesting

00:31:04.899 --> 00:31:05.419
 thing about

 the verb

00:31:07.199 --> 00:31:08.000
 times in

00:31:08.299 --> 00:31:08.599
 Testament

00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:09.439
 and never

00:31:09.439 --> 00:31:10.279
 is it used

00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:10.879
 of a human

00:31:10.879 --> 00:31:11.259
 being

00:31:11.259 --> 00:31:12.059
 a human

00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:14.379
 bara's

00:31:14.379 --> 00:31:16.359
 that's terrible

00:31:16.359 --> 00:31:16.719
 Hebrew

00:31:16.719 --> 00:31:17.779
 but a human

00:31:17.779 --> 00:31:18.579
 being never

00:31:18.579 --> 00:31:19.579
 does bara

00:31:19.579 --> 00:31:21.719
 only God

00:31:21.719 --> 00:31:22.279
 now which

00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:23.000
 verb do you

00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:23.559
 think David

00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:24.199
 used here

00:31:24.199 --> 00:31:25.659
 it's the

00:31:25.659 --> 00:31:26.359
 verb bara

00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:28.019
 he's saying

00:31:28.019 --> 00:31:28.539
 God

00:31:28.539 --> 00:31:29.159
 you

00:31:29.159 --> 00:31:30.299
 alone

00:31:30.299 --> 00:31:31.279
 are the

00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:31.659
 one who

00:31:31.659 --> 00:31:32.699
 can create

00:31:32.699 --> 00:31:33.639
 this new

00:31:33.639 --> 00:31:34.179
 heart in

00:31:34.179 --> 00:31:34.439
 me

00:31:34.439 --> 00:31:36.219
 and that

00:31:36.219 --> 00:31:36.559
 is the

00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:37.000
 profound

00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:37.519
 point

00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:38.559
 that David

00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:39.199
 is making

00:31:39.199 --> 00:31:41.539
 only God

00:31:41.539 --> 00:31:43.019
 can perform

00:31:43.019 --> 00:31:43.979
 heart surgery

00:31:43.979 --> 00:31:45.219
 on a human

00:31:45.219 --> 00:31:45.659
 being

00:31:45.659 --> 00:31:47.899
 I remember

00:31:47.899 --> 00:31:48.799
 years ago

00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:49.740
 being at a

00:31:49.740 --> 00:31:50.419
 conference

00:31:50.419 --> 00:31:52.639
 and seeing

00:31:52.639 --> 00:31:52.979
 on the

00:31:52.979 --> 00:31:53.479
 bookstall

00:31:53.479 --> 00:31:53.839
 at this

00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:54.379
 conference

00:31:54.379 --> 00:31:54.979
 a book

00:31:54.979 --> 00:31:55.859
 with the

00:31:55.859 --> 00:31:56.179
 title

00:31:56.180 --> 00:31:56.640
 You Can

00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:57.259
 Change

00:31:57.259 --> 00:31:57.640
 and I

00:31:57.640 --> 00:31:57.820
 remember

00:31:57.820 --> 00:31:58.240
 thinking

00:31:58.240 --> 00:31:58.560
 who

00:31:58.560 --> 00:31:59.580
 ordered

00:31:59.580 --> 00:31:59.900
 that

00:31:59.900 --> 00:32:00.420
 dodgy

00:32:00.420 --> 00:32:00.759
 book

00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:01.200
 for this

 Christian

00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:02.160
 conference

00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:03.120
 and then

00:32:03.120 --> 00:32:03.640
 I realised

00:32:03.640 --> 00:32:04.400
 I had

00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:05.180
 I was the

00:32:05.180 --> 00:32:05.519
 one on

00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:05.660

00:32:05.660 --> 00:32:06.160
 bookstall

00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:07.259
 and as

00:32:07.259 --> 00:32:07.519
 I got

00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:07.940
 closer

00:32:07.940 --> 00:32:08.620
 I remembered

00:32:08.620 --> 00:32:09.500
 the subtitle

00:32:09.500 --> 00:32:09.980
 and I could

00:32:09.980 --> 00:32:10.660
 see it there

00:32:10.660 --> 00:32:11.460

00:32:11.460 --> 00:32:12.060

00:32:12.060 --> 00:32:12.740

00:32:12.740 --> 00:32:13.259
 bit of pop

00:32:13.259 --> 00:32:13.940
 psychology

 You Can

 emotions

00:32:22.539 --> 00:32:23.400
 and sinful

00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:24.279
 behaviour

00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:25.140
 it's a great

00:32:25.140 --> 00:32:25.380
 book

00:32:28.419 --> 00:32:28.879
 Change

00:32:28.879 --> 00:32:29.720
 God's

00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:30.579
 transforming

00:32:30.579 --> 00:32:30.839
 power

00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:31.359
 there's the

00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:31.759
 answer

00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:32.700
 to change

00:32:32.700 --> 00:32:33.599
 do you ever

00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:34.579
 feel caught

00:32:34.579 --> 00:32:35.539
 in the

00:32:35.539 --> 00:32:36.379
 cycle of

00:32:36.379 --> 00:32:37.019
 your sin

00:32:37.019 --> 00:32:38.859
 the answer

00:32:38.859 --> 00:32:39.759
 is not

00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:40.220
 in some

00:32:40.220 --> 00:32:40.659
 pop

00:32:40.659 --> 00:32:41.440
 psychology

00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:42.759
 or even

00:32:42.759 --> 00:32:43.399
 some well

00:32:43.399 --> 00:32:44.139
 researched

00:32:44.139 --> 00:32:44.899
 psychology

00:32:44.899 --> 00:32:46.000
 the answer

00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:47.599
 is turning

00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:48.960
 to God

00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:50.399
 and saying

00:32:50.399 --> 00:32:50.919
 God

00:32:50.919 --> 00:32:52.180
 create

00:32:52.180 --> 00:32:53.099
 in me

00:32:53.099 --> 00:32:54.480
 a clean

00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:55.139
 heart

00:32:55.140 --> 00:32:56.560
 and renew

00:32:56.560 --> 00:32:57.440
 a steadfast

00:32:57.440 --> 00:32:58.040
 spirit

00:32:58.040 --> 00:32:59.420
 within me

00:32:59.420 --> 00:33:02.540
 now up to

00:33:02.540 --> 00:33:03.100
 this point

00:33:03.100 --> 00:33:03.560
 in the

00:33:03.560 --> 00:33:03.800
 sermon

00:33:03.800 --> 00:33:04.120
 you may

00:33:04.120 --> 00:33:04.620
 be wondering

00:33:04.620 --> 00:33:05.340
 if my

00:33:05.340 --> 00:33:05.740
 name is

00:33:05.740 --> 00:33:06.140
 Rabbi

00:33:06.140 --> 00:33:06.720
 Gibson

00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:08.200
 after all

00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:08.640
 there is

00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:09.240
 nothing

00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:09.720
 different

00:33:09.720 --> 00:33:10.380
 here in

00:33:10.380 --> 00:33:10.900
 this sermon

00:33:10.900 --> 00:33:11.380
 from a

00:33:13.180 --> 00:33:13.840

00:33:13.840 --> 00:33:14.480
 confession

00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:15.280
 of sin

00:33:15.280 --> 00:33:16.780
 which brings

00:33:16.780 --> 00:33:17.240
 us to

00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:18.020
 our fourth

00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:22.799
 is centered

00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:23.660
 on Christ

00:33:23.660 --> 00:33:24.299
 and his

00:33:24.299 --> 00:33:24.920
 cross

00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:26.019
 confession

00:33:26.620 --> 00:33:27.100

00:33:30.339 --> 00:33:31.579
 to 19

00:33:31.579 --> 00:33:33.180
 there are

00:33:33.180 --> 00:33:33.980
 hints in

00:33:33.980 --> 00:33:35.279
 this psalm

00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:36.100
 that the real

00:33:36.100 --> 00:33:37.019
 help for our

00:33:37.019 --> 00:33:38.519
 sin lies

00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:39.480
 in the future

00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:40.519
 the hints

00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:41.460
 come in the

00:33:41.460 --> 00:33:41.960
 form of

00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:42.559
 tensions

00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:43.559
 there's two

00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:44.100
 tensions

00:33:44.100 --> 00:33:44.759
 within the

00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:45.240
 psalm

00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:46.420
 that point us

00:33:46.420 --> 00:33:47.220
 beyond the

00:33:47.220 --> 00:33:47.720
 psalm

00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:48.600
 for their

00:33:48.600 --> 00:33:49.240
 resolution

00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:50.559
 the first

00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:51.019
 tension

00:33:51.019 --> 00:33:52.160
 is to do

00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:52.519
 with the

00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:52.940
 word

00:33:52.940 --> 00:33:53.940
 righteousness

00:33:53.940 --> 00:33:55.920
 look back

00:33:55.920 --> 00:33:56.640
 at verse

00:33:56.640 --> 00:33:57.400
 4

00:33:57.400 --> 00:33:58.640
 against you

00:33:58.640 --> 00:33:59.200
 you only

00:33:59.200 --> 00:33:59.620
 have I

00:33:59.620 --> 00:34:00.000
 sinned

00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:00.420
 and done

00:34:00.420 --> 00:34:01.140
 what is

00:34:01.140 --> 00:34:01.799
 evil in

00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:02.180
 your sight

00:34:02.180 --> 00:34:02.559
 so that

00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:03.860
 you may

00:34:03.860 --> 00:34:05.000
 be righteous

00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:06.759
 justified

00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:08.000
 righteous

00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:08.820
 in your

00:34:08.820 --> 00:34:09.300
 words

00:34:09.300 --> 00:34:10.539
 and blameless

00:34:10.539 --> 00:34:11.119
 in your

00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:11.659
 judgment

00:34:11.659 --> 00:34:12.639
 David

00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:13.360
 acknowledges

00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:13.760
 that his

00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:14.380
 actions

00:34:14.380 --> 00:34:15.159
 before God

00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:15.880
 are evil

00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:17.760
 David is

00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:18.619
 referring to

00:34:18.619 --> 00:34:19.099
 the time

00:34:19.099 --> 00:34:19.860
 God spoke

00:34:19.860 --> 00:34:20.440
 and judged

00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:21.019
 his sin

00:34:21.019 --> 00:34:21.579
 when Nathan

00:34:21.579 --> 00:34:22.099
 the prophet

00:34:22.099 --> 00:34:22.900
 visited him

00:34:22.900 --> 00:34:23.579
 in that

00:34:23.579 --> 00:34:24.079
 encounter

00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:24.500
 Nathan

00:34:24.500 --> 00:34:25.039
 said to

00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:25.300
 David

00:34:25.300 --> 00:34:25.700
 David

00:34:25.700 --> 00:34:26.840
 you are

00:34:26.840 --> 00:34:27.480
 the man

00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:28.460
 and what

00:34:28.460 --> 00:34:28.840
 you have

00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:29.280
 done

00:34:29.280 --> 00:34:30.860
 is evil

00:34:30.860 --> 00:34:32.180
 so when

00:34:32.180 --> 00:34:33.300
 David recalls

00:34:33.300 --> 00:34:33.880
 his actions

00:34:33.880 --> 00:34:34.360
 here and

00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:34.800
 calls them

00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:35.160
 evil

00:34:35.160 --> 00:34:36.140
 he's saying

00:34:36.140 --> 00:34:37.140
 I agree

00:34:37.140 --> 00:34:37.840
 with you

00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:38.300
 God

00:34:38.300 --> 00:34:40.019
 that you

00:34:40.019 --> 00:34:40.680
 have a right

00:34:40.680 --> 00:34:41.220
 to judge

00:34:41.220 --> 00:34:41.400
 me

00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:42.000
 that you

00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:43.079
 are righteous

00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:44.599
 in condemning

00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:45.420
 my sin

00:34:45.420 --> 00:34:46.380
 so keep

00:34:46.380 --> 00:34:46.680
 that in

00:34:46.680 --> 00:34:46.940
 mind

00:34:46.940 --> 00:34:47.780
 here in

00:34:47.780 --> 00:34:48.420
 verse 4

00:34:48.420 --> 00:34:49.240
 he's used

00:34:49.240 --> 00:34:49.619
 the word

00:34:49.619 --> 00:34:50.240
 righteousness

00:34:50.240 --> 00:34:51.099
 to refer

00:34:51.099 --> 00:34:52.340
 to condemning

00:34:52.340 --> 00:34:53.360
 his sin

00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:54.820
 now come

00:34:54.820 --> 00:34:55.159
 with me

00:34:55.159 --> 00:34:55.579
 to verse

00:34:55.579 --> 00:34:56.220
 14

00:34:56.220 --> 00:34:58.460
 deliver me

00:34:58.460 --> 00:34:59.220
 from blood

00:34:59.220 --> 00:34:59.880
 guiltiness

00:34:59.880 --> 00:35:00.460
 O God

00:35:00.460 --> 00:35:01.619
 O God

00:35:01.619 --> 00:35:02.079
 of my

00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:02.700
 salvation

00:35:02.700 --> 00:35:03.539
 and my

00:35:03.539 --> 00:35:03.940
 tongue

00:35:03.940 --> 00:35:04.500
 will sing

00:35:04.500 --> 00:35:05.180
 aloud of

00:35:05.180 --> 00:35:05.380
 your

00:35:05.380 --> 00:35:05.960
 mercy

00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:08.400
 it doesn't

00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:08.800
 say that

00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:09.079
 it says

00:35:09.079 --> 00:35:09.900
 my tongue

00:35:09.900 --> 00:35:10.320
 will sing

00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:10.800
 aloud of

00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:11.099
 your

00:35:11.099 --> 00:35:12.500
 righteousness

00:35:12.500 --> 00:35:12.820
 righteousness

00:35:12.820 --> 00:35:14.679
 David

00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:15.380
 wants to

00:35:15.380 --> 00:35:15.820
 sing of

00:35:15.820 --> 00:35:16.199
 God's

00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:16.719
 righteousness

00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:17.719
 in saving

00:35:17.719 --> 00:35:18.280
 him from

00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:18.780
 his sin

00:35:18.780 --> 00:35:19.539
 in fact

00:35:19.539 --> 00:35:19.880
 look at

00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:20.199
 the word

00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:20.679
 blood

00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:21.480
 guiltiness

00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:22.639
 he's saying

00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:23.280
 I murdered

00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:23.920
 someone

00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:24.920
 now will

00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:25.519
 you please

00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:26.219
 save me

00:35:26.219 --> 00:35:27.719
 because of

00:35:27.719 --> 00:35:28.119
 your

00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:29.920
 righteousness

00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:30.739
 do you see

00:35:30.739 --> 00:35:31.340
 the tension

00:35:31.340 --> 00:35:33.539
 in verse 4

00:35:33.539 --> 00:35:34.199
 David is saying

00:35:34.199 --> 00:35:34.519
 you were

00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:35.280
 righteous to

00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:36.460
 condemn me

00:35:36.460 --> 00:35:37.099
 to judge

00:35:37.099 --> 00:35:37.500
 me for

00:35:37.500 --> 00:35:37.940
 my sin

00:35:37.940 --> 00:35:38.699
 and in

00:35:38.699 --> 00:35:39.340
 verse 14

00:35:39.340 --> 00:35:39.880
 he's saying

00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:41.300
 be righteous

00:35:41.300 --> 00:35:42.079
 and save

00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:43.180
 me from

00:35:43.180 --> 00:35:43.820
 my sin

00:35:43.820 --> 00:35:44.820
 now how

00:35:44.820 --> 00:35:45.700
 can God

00:35:45.700 --> 00:35:46.900
 be righteous

00:35:46.900 --> 00:35:47.619
 in both

00:35:47.619 --> 00:35:48.099
 ways

00:35:48.099 --> 00:35:49.019
 how can he

00:35:49.019 --> 00:35:50.059
 judge sin

00:35:50.059 --> 00:35:51.079
 in verse 4

00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:51.900
 and yet at

00:35:51.900 --> 00:35:52.500
 the same

00:35:52.500 --> 00:35:53.059
 time

00:35:53.059 --> 00:35:53.940
 at the very

00:35:53.940 --> 00:35:54.680
 same time

00:35:54.680 --> 00:35:55.700
 how can he

00:35:55.700 --> 00:35:56.519
 show mercy

00:35:56.519 --> 00:35:58.200
 and rescue

00:35:58.200 --> 00:35:59.200
 David from

00:35:59.200 --> 00:36:00.240
 the exact

00:36:00.240 --> 00:36:01.119
 same

00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:01.860
 sin

00:36:01.860 --> 00:36:03.920
 do you feel

00:36:03.920 --> 00:36:04.400
 the tension

00:36:04.400 --> 00:36:06.420
 it's real

00:36:06.420 --> 00:36:08.019
 but it's not

00:36:08.019 --> 00:36:08.360
 the only

00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:08.800
 tension

00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:09.660
 there's a

00:36:09.660 --> 00:36:10.039
 second

00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:11.000
 tension

00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:11.320
 did you

00:36:11.320 --> 00:36:11.820
 notice the

00:36:11.820 --> 00:36:12.220
 tension

00:36:12.220 --> 00:36:12.920
 surrounding

00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:13.960
 sacrifice

00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:15.500
 verses 16

00:36:15.500 --> 00:36:16.280
 and 17

00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:18.060
 for you

00:36:18.060 --> 00:36:18.600
 will not

00:36:18.600 --> 00:36:19.340
 delight in

00:36:19.340 --> 00:36:20.019
 sacrifice

00:36:20.019 --> 00:36:20.580
 or I will

00:36:20.580 --> 00:36:21.000
 give it

00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:22.100
 you will

00:36:22.100 --> 00:36:22.720
 not be

00:36:22.720 --> 00:36:23.140
 pleased

00:36:23.140 --> 00:36:23.460
 with a

00:36:23.460 --> 00:36:23.700
 burnt

00:36:23.700 --> 00:36:24.180
 offering

00:36:24.180 --> 00:36:25.180
 the

00:36:25.180 --> 00:36:25.880
 sacrifices

00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:26.420
 of God

00:36:26.420 --> 00:36:26.720
 are a

00:36:26.720 --> 00:36:27.000
 broken

00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:27.519
 spirit

00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:28.160
 a broken

00:36:28.160 --> 00:36:29.560
 and contrite

00:36:29.560 --> 00:36:29.860
 heart

00:36:29.860 --> 00:36:30.280
 of God

00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:30.740
 you will

00:36:30.740 --> 00:36:31.019
 not

00:36:31.019 --> 00:36:31.720
 despise

00:36:31.720 --> 00:36:32.580
 so what

00:36:32.580 --> 00:36:33.120
 does God

00:36:33.120 --> 00:36:33.840
 delight in

00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:34.640
 not burnt

00:36:34.640 --> 00:36:35.100
 offerings

00:36:35.100 --> 00:36:36.100
 but a

00:36:36.100 --> 00:36:36.440
 broken

00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:36.920
 heart

00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:37.680
 now look

00:36:37.680 --> 00:36:38.039
 at verses

00:36:38.039 --> 00:36:38.679
 18 and

00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:39.099
 19

00:36:39.099 --> 00:36:40.159
 do good

00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:40.719
 to Zion

00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:41.059
 in your

00:36:41.059 --> 00:36:41.679
 good pleasure

00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:42.279
 build up

00:36:42.279 --> 00:36:42.699
 the walls

00:36:42.699 --> 00:36:43.199
 of Jerusalem

00:36:43.199 --> 00:36:44.019
 then you

00:36:44.019 --> 00:36:44.619
 will delight

00:36:44.619 --> 00:36:45.219
 in right

00:36:45.219 --> 00:36:46.099
 sacrifices

00:36:46.099 --> 00:36:47.039
 are these

00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:47.779
 the sacrifices

00:36:47.779 --> 00:36:48.380
 of a broken

00:36:48.380 --> 00:36:48.779
 heart

00:36:48.779 --> 00:36:49.380
 no

00:36:49.380 --> 00:36:50.539
 you will

00:36:50.539 --> 00:36:51.179
 delight in

00:36:51.179 --> 00:36:51.739
 burnt

00:36:51.739 --> 00:36:52.340
 offerings

00:36:52.340 --> 00:36:52.920
 and whole

00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:53.239
 burnt

00:36:53.239 --> 00:36:53.739
 offerings

00:36:53.739 --> 00:36:55.119
 then bulls

00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:55.460
 will be

00:36:55.460 --> 00:36:55.960
 offered on

00:36:55.960 --> 00:36:56.400
 your altar

00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:57.559
 I mean

00:36:57.559 --> 00:36:58.420
 which sacrifice

00:36:58.420 --> 00:36:59.019
 is it

00:36:59.019 --> 00:37:00.059
 is it the

00:37:00.059 --> 00:37:00.559
 sacrifice

00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:01.259
 of a broken

00:37:01.259 --> 00:37:01.659
 heart

00:37:01.659 --> 00:37:02.639
 or is it

00:37:02.639 --> 00:37:03.300
 the sacrifice

00:37:03.300 --> 00:37:04.539
 of bulls

00:37:04.539 --> 00:37:06.139
 which delights

00:37:06.139 --> 00:37:06.699
 God

00:37:06.699 --> 00:37:07.679
 burnt

00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:09.019
 bull

00:37:09.019 --> 00:37:10.319
 or broken

00:37:10.319 --> 00:37:10.859
 heart

00:37:10.859 --> 00:37:12.739
 do you feel

00:37:12.739 --> 00:37:13.259
 the tension

00:37:13.259 --> 00:37:17.239
 so the question

00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:17.939
 is how

00:37:17.939 --> 00:37:18.899
 shall we

00:37:18.899 --> 00:37:19.659
 resolve

00:37:19.659 --> 00:37:20.579
 these

00:37:20.579 --> 00:37:21.179
 tensions

00:37:21.179 --> 00:37:24.139
 perhaps the

00:37:24.139 --> 00:37:24.759
 better question

00:37:24.759 --> 00:37:25.579
 is where

00:37:25.579 --> 00:37:26.899
 shall we

00:37:26.899 --> 00:37:27.759
 resolve these

00:37:27.759 --> 00:37:28.339
 tensions

00:37:28.339 --> 00:37:29.819
 well the

00:37:29.819 --> 00:37:30.379
 new testament

00:37:30.379 --> 00:37:30.980
 gives us a

00:37:30.980 --> 00:37:32.119
 very simple

00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:32.699
 answer

00:37:32.699 --> 00:37:34.960
 at the

00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:35.500
 cross

00:37:35.500 --> 00:37:36.819
 of Christ

00:37:36.819 --> 00:37:38.939
 in Romans

00:37:38.939 --> 00:37:39.919
 chapter 3

00:37:39.919 --> 00:37:40.679
 verse 21

00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:41.480
 Paul says

00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:42.879
 but now

00:37:42.879 --> 00:37:44.659
 a righteousness

00:37:44.659 --> 00:37:45.719
 from God

00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:46.259
 has been

00:37:46.259 --> 00:37:46.739
 revealed

00:37:46.739 --> 00:37:47.799
 and then he

00:37:47.799 --> 00:37:48.319
 goes on to

00:37:48.319 --> 00:37:49.099
 say that God

00:37:49.099 --> 00:37:50.599
 presented Christ

00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:51.659
 as a

00:37:51.659 --> 00:37:52.539
 propitiation

00:37:52.539 --> 00:37:54.119
 as a wrath

00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:54.819
 appeasing

00:37:54.819 --> 00:37:55.599
 sacrifice

00:37:55.599 --> 00:37:56.219
 for sin

00:37:56.219 --> 00:37:57.439
 so that

00:37:57.439 --> 00:37:58.039
 he might

00:37:58.039 --> 00:37:58.399
 be

00:37:58.399 --> 00:37:59.259
 righteous

00:37:59.260 --> 00:38:00.040
 just

00:38:00.040 --> 00:38:01.300
 in punishing

00:38:01.300 --> 00:38:01.780
 sin

00:38:01.780 --> 00:38:03.380
 and the

00:38:03.380 --> 00:38:04.180
 justifier

00:38:04.180 --> 00:38:05.080
 the saviour

00:38:05.080 --> 00:38:06.320
 of those

00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:06.700
 who have

00:38:06.700 --> 00:38:07.220
 faith in

00:38:07.220 --> 00:38:07.480
 Jesus

00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:07.900
 in other

00:38:07.900 --> 00:38:08.260
 words

00:38:08.260 --> 00:38:08.940
 in the

00:38:08.940 --> 00:38:09.380
 one

00:38:09.380 --> 00:38:10.180
 moment

00:38:10.180 --> 00:38:10.700
 of the

00:38:10.700 --> 00:38:11.220
 cross

00:38:11.220 --> 00:38:12.520
 when Christ

00:38:12.520 --> 00:38:13.560
 received the

00:38:13.560 --> 00:38:14.560
 father's wrath

00:38:14.560 --> 00:38:15.880
 for our sins

00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:17.300
 the righteousness

00:38:17.300 --> 00:38:18.100
 of God

00:38:18.100 --> 00:38:18.800
 was revealed

00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:19.700
 he judged

00:38:19.700 --> 00:38:20.140
 sin

00:38:20.140 --> 00:38:21.680
 and at the

00:38:21.680 --> 00:38:22.480
 very same

00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:23.100
 moment he

00:38:23.100 --> 00:38:23.680
 saved

00:38:23.680 --> 00:38:24.580
 sinners

00:38:24.580 --> 00:38:26.140
 the cross

00:38:26.140 --> 00:38:26.540
 is the

00:38:26.540 --> 00:38:27.000
 place

00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:28.360
 to resolve

00:38:28.360 --> 00:38:29.280
 this tension

00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:30.619
 where God

00:38:30.619 --> 00:38:31.059
 can be

00:38:31.059 --> 00:38:31.440
 righteous

00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:32.099
 and judge

00:38:32.099 --> 00:38:32.460
 sin

00:38:32.460 --> 00:38:33.239
 and God

00:38:33.239 --> 00:38:33.659
 can be

00:38:33.659 --> 00:38:34.099
 righteous

00:38:34.099 --> 00:38:35.059
 and rescue

00:38:35.059 --> 00:38:35.519
 people

00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:36.860
 because

00:38:36.860 --> 00:38:37.559
 righteousness

00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:38.480
 refers to

00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:39.360
 God acting

00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:40.059
 in accordance

00:38:40.059 --> 00:38:40.639
 with his

00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:41.139
 character

00:38:41.139 --> 00:38:42.260
 his character

00:38:42.260 --> 00:38:42.900
 is holy

00:38:42.900 --> 00:38:43.980
 so he must

00:38:43.980 --> 00:38:44.739
 judge sin

00:38:44.739 --> 00:38:45.480
 but his

00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:46.079
 character

00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:46.800
 is also

00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:47.360
 grace

00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:48.159
 and mercy

00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:49.699
 and so

00:38:49.699 --> 00:38:50.440
 he must

00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:51.420
 rescue

00:38:51.420 --> 00:38:52.460
 sinners

00:38:52.460 --> 00:38:55.539
 this is

00:38:55.539 --> 00:38:55.880
 also

00:38:55.880 --> 00:38:56.500
 where the

00:38:56.500 --> 00:38:57.059
 tension

00:38:57.059 --> 00:38:58.099
 of which

00:38:58.099 --> 00:38:58.840
 sacrifice

00:38:58.840 --> 00:38:59.320
 delights

00:38:59.320 --> 00:38:59.840
 God

00:38:59.840 --> 00:39:00.780
 is resolved

00:39:00.780 --> 00:39:01.619
 which

00:39:01.619 --> 00:39:02.320
 sacrifice

00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:02.760
 delights

00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:03.139
 God

00:39:03.139 --> 00:39:04.360
 a broken

00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:04.880
 heart

00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:05.280
 or a

00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:05.539
 burnt

00:39:05.539 --> 00:39:05.960
 bull

00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:07.119
 answer

00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:08.139
 both

00:39:08.139 --> 00:39:09.840
 for at

00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:10.599
 the cross

00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:11.659
 it was not

00:39:11.659 --> 00:39:12.220
 a bull

00:39:12.220 --> 00:39:12.659
 that was

00:39:12.659 --> 00:39:13.079
 burnt

00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:13.480
 but it

00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:13.880
 was a

00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:14.400
 son

00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:15.320
 that was

00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:16.220
 bruised

00:39:16.220 --> 00:39:18.079
 as a

00:39:18.079 --> 00:39:18.619
 fulfillment

00:39:18.619 --> 00:39:19.559
 of all

00:39:19.559 --> 00:39:19.880
 of the

00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:20.800
 Old Testament

00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:21.400
 bull

00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:22.360
 sacrifices

00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:23.500
 and when

00:39:23.500 --> 00:39:24.000
 a sinner

00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:24.680
 comes to

00:39:24.680 --> 00:39:25.500
 this cross

00:39:25.500 --> 00:39:26.360
 of Jesus

00:39:26.360 --> 00:39:26.840
 Christ

00:39:26.840 --> 00:39:27.960
 they bring

00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:28.500
 nothing

00:39:28.500 --> 00:39:28.920
 but

00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:29.940
 brokenness

00:39:29.940 --> 00:39:31.240
 the

00:39:31.240 --> 00:39:31.900
 sacrifice

00:39:31.900 --> 00:39:32.320
 of

00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:33.019
 brokenness

00:39:33.019 --> 00:39:33.500
 does not

00:39:33.500 --> 00:39:34.039
 appease

00:39:34.039 --> 00:39:34.559
 God

00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:36.880
 this is

00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:37.440
 where Roman

00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:38.420
 Catholicism

00:39:38.420 --> 00:39:38.960
 has got

00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:39.480
 penance

00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:39.700
 wrong

00:39:39.700 --> 00:39:40.140
 the

00:39:40.140 --> 00:39:40.760
 sacrifice

00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:41.180
 of

00:39:41.180 --> 00:39:41.860
 brokenness

00:39:41.860 --> 00:39:42.539
 does not

00:39:42.539 --> 00:39:43.000
 please

00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:43.480
 God

00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:44.260
 the

00:39:44.260 --> 00:39:44.960
 sacrifice

00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:45.360
 of

00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:46.059
 brokenness

00:39:46.059 --> 00:39:46.620
 pleases

00:39:46.620 --> 00:39:47.200
 God

00:39:47.200 --> 00:39:48.099
 because

00:39:48.099 --> 00:39:48.640
 it is a

00:39:48.640 --> 00:39:49.340
 recognition

00:39:49.340 --> 00:39:50.500
 that you

00:39:50.500 --> 00:39:50.940
 have no

00:39:50.940 --> 00:39:51.579
 sacrifice

00:39:51.579 --> 00:39:52.140
 to bring

00:39:52.139 --> 00:39:55.059
 does that

00:39:55.059 --> 00:39:55.519
 make sense

00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:56.559
 the sacrifice

00:39:56.559 --> 00:39:57.500
 of brokenness

00:39:57.500 --> 00:39:58.059
 pleases

00:39:58.059 --> 00:39:58.639
 God

00:39:58.639 --> 00:39:59.279
 because

00:39:59.279 --> 00:39:59.579
 you're

00:39:59.579 --> 00:40:00.079
 saying

00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:01.000
 there must

00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:01.559
 be another

00:40:01.559 --> 00:40:02.259
 sacrifice

00:40:02.259 --> 00:40:03.039
 I've got

00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:03.339
 nothing

00:40:03.339 --> 00:40:03.980
 to bring

00:40:03.980 --> 00:40:08.639
 nothing

00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:09.719
 in my

00:40:09.719 --> 00:40:10.299
 hand I

00:40:10.299 --> 00:40:10.579
 bring

00:40:10.579 --> 00:40:11.339
 simply

00:40:11.339 --> 00:40:12.519
 to your

00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:13.159
 cross

00:40:13.159 --> 00:40:14.039
 I cling

00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:14.920
 naked

00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:15.579
 come to

00:40:15.579 --> 00:40:15.980
 you for

00:40:15.980 --> 00:40:16.519
 dress

00:40:16.519 --> 00:40:17.400
 helpless

00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:18.940
 look to

00:40:18.940 --> 00:40:19.420
 you for

00:40:19.420 --> 00:40:19.839
 grace

00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:20.559
 fall

00:40:20.559 --> 00:40:21.220
 I

00:40:21.220 --> 00:40:21.640
 to the

00:40:21.640 --> 00:40:22.039
 fountain

00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:22.720
 fly

00:40:22.720 --> 00:40:23.539
 wash

00:40:23.539 --> 00:40:23.820
 me

00:40:23.820 --> 00:40:24.300
 savior

00:40:24.300 --> 00:40:25.440
 or

00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:26.340
 I

00:40:26.340 --> 00:40:26.740
 die

00:40:26.740 --> 00:40:27.900
 the

00:40:27.900 --> 00:40:28.240
 reason

00:40:28.240 --> 00:40:28.539
 your

00:40:28.539 --> 00:40:29.340
 brokenness

00:40:29.340 --> 00:40:29.800
 delights

00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:30.160
 God

00:40:30.160 --> 00:40:30.600
 is because

00:40:30.600 --> 00:40:30.920
 you're

00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:31.400
 saying

00:40:31.400 --> 00:40:32.019
 I

00:40:32.019 --> 00:40:32.640
 need

00:40:32.640 --> 00:40:33.039
 the

00:40:33.039 --> 00:40:33.800
 bruised

00:40:33.800 --> 00:40:34.559
 son

00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:36.019
 to die

00:40:36.019 --> 00:40:36.420
 in my

00:40:36.420 --> 00:40:37.000
 place

00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:39.260
 confession

00:40:39.260 --> 00:40:39.920
 of sin

00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:41.220
 is centered

00:40:41.220 --> 00:40:41.940
 on Christ

00:40:41.940 --> 00:40:42.559
 and his

00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:43.039
 cross

00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:43.820
 and finally

00:40:43.820 --> 00:40:45.039
 confession

00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:45.720
 of sin

00:40:45.719 --> 00:40:46.879
 is only

00:40:46.879 --> 00:40:47.699
 ever met

00:40:47.699 --> 00:40:49.139
 by God's

00:40:49.139 --> 00:40:49.599
 grace

00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:50.719
 confession

00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:51.399
 of sin

00:40:51.399 --> 00:40:52.599
 is only

00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:53.319
 ever met

00:40:53.319 --> 00:40:54.079
 by God's

00:40:54.079 --> 00:40:54.399
 grace

00:40:54.399 --> 00:40:54.719
 verses

00:40:54.719 --> 00:40:55.399
 18

00:40:55.399 --> 00:40:56.639
 and 19

00:40:56.639 --> 00:40:58.500
 do good

00:40:58.500 --> 00:40:59.659
 to Zion

00:40:59.659 --> 00:41:00.299
 in your

00:41:00.299 --> 00:41:00.919
 good pleasure

00:41:00.919 --> 00:41:01.519
 build up

00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:02.119
 the walls

00:41:02.119 --> 00:41:02.839
 of Jerusalem

00:41:02.839 --> 00:41:04.099
 then you

00:41:04.099 --> 00:41:04.639
 will delight

00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:05.059
 in right

00:41:05.059 --> 00:41:05.899
 sacrifices

00:41:05.899 --> 00:41:06.480
 and burnt

00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:07.000
 offerings

00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:07.500
 and whole

00:41:07.500 --> 00:41:07.799
 burnt

00:41:07.799 --> 00:41:08.199
 offerings

00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:09.239
 then bulls

00:41:09.239 --> 00:41:10.119
 will be

00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:10.579
 offered

00:41:10.579 --> 00:41:11.099
 on your

00:41:11.099 --> 00:41:11.439
 altar

00:41:11.439 --> 00:41:12.359
 isn't that a

00:41:12.359 --> 00:41:13.159
 strange way

00:41:13.159 --> 00:41:13.539
 to end

00:41:13.539 --> 00:41:14.219
 this psalm

00:41:14.219 --> 00:41:14.899
 I thought

00:41:14.899 --> 00:41:15.239
 this was

00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:15.659
 all about

00:41:15.659 --> 00:41:16.099
 David's

00:41:16.099 --> 00:41:16.619
 personal

00:41:16.619 --> 00:41:17.159
 sin

00:41:17.159 --> 00:41:18.459
 but he

00:41:18.459 --> 00:41:18.879
 ends

00:41:18.879 --> 00:41:19.319
 talking

00:41:19.319 --> 00:41:19.599
 about

00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:19.779
 the

00:41:19.779 --> 00:41:20.279
 protection

00:41:20.279 --> 00:41:20.559
 of

00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:21.139
 Jerusalem

00:41:21.139 --> 00:41:21.679
 and

00:41:21.679 --> 00:41:22.699
 restored

00:41:22.699 --> 00:41:23.259
 corporate

00:41:23.259 --> 00:41:23.659
 worship

00:41:23.659 --> 00:41:24.259
 in Zion

00:41:24.259 --> 00:41:25.919
 why

00:41:25.919 --> 00:41:27.699
 well the

00:41:27.699 --> 00:41:28.259
 answer is

00:41:28.259 --> 00:41:29.099
 simple

00:41:29.099 --> 00:41:29.579
 David

00:41:29.579 --> 00:41:31.399
 has realized

00:41:31.399 --> 00:41:31.859
 that when

00:41:31.859 --> 00:41:32.759
 he sinned

00:41:32.759 --> 00:41:33.139
 he did

00:41:33.139 --> 00:41:33.799
 not sin

00:41:33.799 --> 00:41:34.259
 as an

00:41:34.259 --> 00:41:34.919
 individual

00:41:34.919 --> 00:41:36.299
 he did

00:41:36.299 --> 00:41:36.799
 sin as

00:41:36.799 --> 00:41:37.459
 an individual

00:41:37.459 --> 00:41:38.399
 but he

00:41:38.399 --> 00:41:38.980
 is not a

00:41:38.980 --> 00:41:39.339
 mere

00:41:39.339 --> 00:41:40.059
 individual

00:41:40.059 --> 00:41:40.519
 David

00:41:40.519 --> 00:41:41.399
 is a

00:41:41.399 --> 00:41:42.419
 representative

00:41:42.419 --> 00:41:43.480
 individual

00:41:43.480 --> 00:41:44.599
 what is

00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:44.920
 David

00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:45.420
 he is a

00:41:45.420 --> 00:41:45.840
 father

00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:47.099
 he is a

00:41:47.099 --> 00:41:47.500
 husband

00:41:47.500 --> 00:41:48.559
 he is a

00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:48.920
 king

00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:50.760
 and he

00:41:50.760 --> 00:41:51.260
 knows that

00:41:51.260 --> 00:41:51.659
 when he

00:41:51.659 --> 00:41:52.340
 has sinned

00:41:52.340 --> 00:41:52.900
 he has

00:41:52.900 --> 00:41:53.599
 sinned in

00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:54.219
 each of

00:41:54.219 --> 00:41:54.699
 those

00:41:54.699 --> 00:41:55.380
 offices

00:41:55.380 --> 00:41:57.219
 and so

00:41:57.219 --> 00:41:57.840
 he knows

00:41:57.840 --> 00:41:58.260
 that his

00:41:58.260 --> 00:41:58.780
 sin while

00:41:58.780 --> 00:41:59.360
 personal

00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:00.960
 will always

00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:02.059
 have collateral

00:42:02.059 --> 00:42:02.740
 damage

00:42:02.740 --> 00:42:03.820
 and that is

00:42:03.820 --> 00:42:04.179
 the same

00:42:04.179 --> 00:42:04.599
 with us

00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:05.179
 brothers and

00:42:05.179 --> 00:42:05.460
 sisters

00:42:05.460 --> 00:42:06.559
 I am a

00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:06.960
 husband

00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:07.840
 I am a

00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:08.139
 father

00:42:08.139 --> 00:42:08.699
 when I

00:42:08.699 --> 00:42:09.260
 sin

00:42:09.260 --> 00:42:09.960
 in my

00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:10.340
 home

00:42:10.340 --> 00:42:11.420
 it is not

00:42:11.420 --> 00:42:11.980
 just me

00:42:11.980 --> 00:42:12.760
 who suffers

00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:14.160
 my wife

00:42:14.160 --> 00:42:14.640
 suffers

00:42:14.640 --> 00:42:15.580
 my son

00:42:15.580 --> 00:42:16.340
 suffers

00:42:16.340 --> 00:42:19.040
 and David

00:42:19.040 --> 00:42:20.260
 here confesses

00:42:20.260 --> 00:42:20.800
 his sin

00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:21.220
 as an

00:42:21.220 --> 00:42:21.720
 individual

00:42:21.720 --> 00:42:22.500
 but he

00:42:22.500 --> 00:42:22.940
 also

00:42:22.940 --> 00:42:23.740
 confesses

00:42:23.740 --> 00:42:24.280
 his sin

00:42:24.280 --> 00:42:24.820
 as a

00:42:24.820 --> 00:42:25.220
 husband

00:42:25.220 --> 00:42:25.680
 and a

00:42:25.680 --> 00:42:25.940
 father

00:42:25.940 --> 00:42:27.240
 and primarily

00:42:27.240 --> 00:42:27.940
 as a

00:42:27.940 --> 00:42:28.380
 king

00:42:28.380 --> 00:42:29.280
 of Israel

00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:30.860
 and he

00:42:30.860 --> 00:42:31.440
 knows

00:42:31.440 --> 00:42:32.280
 that because

00:42:32.280 --> 00:42:32.740
 of his

00:42:32.740 --> 00:42:33.120
 sin

00:42:33.120 --> 00:42:33.860
 there has

00:42:33.860 --> 00:42:34.200
 been

00:42:34.200 --> 00:42:34.860
 collateral

00:42:34.860 --> 00:42:35.420
 damage

00:42:35.420 --> 00:42:36.180
 the baby

00:42:36.180 --> 00:42:36.920
 is born

00:42:36.920 --> 00:42:37.640
 and the

00:42:37.640 --> 00:42:37.900
 baby

00:42:37.900 --> 00:42:38.600
 dies

00:42:38.599 --> 00:42:40.500
 during

00:42:40.500 --> 00:42:40.819
 his

00:42:40.819 --> 00:42:41.319
 affair

00:42:41.319 --> 00:42:42.119
 with

00:42:42.119 --> 00:42:42.980
 Bathsheba

00:42:42.980 --> 00:42:43.319
 and the

00:42:43.319 --> 00:42:43.579
 murder

00:42:43.579 --> 00:42:44.119
 of Uriah

00:42:44.119 --> 00:42:44.759
 the war

00:42:44.759 --> 00:42:45.279
 against the

00:42:45.279 --> 00:42:45.739
 Ammonites

00:42:45.739 --> 00:42:46.440
 was halted

00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:46.980
 they couldn't

00:42:46.980 --> 00:42:47.460
 defeat

00:42:47.460 --> 00:42:48.639
 the Ammonites

00:42:48.639 --> 00:42:50.679
 and so

00:42:50.679 --> 00:42:51.099
 David

00:42:51.099 --> 00:42:52.079
 prays to

00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:52.559
 God

00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:53.639
 that God

00:42:53.639 --> 00:42:54.679
 might act

00:42:54.679 --> 00:42:55.339
 in mercy

00:42:55.339 --> 00:42:56.259
 and do

00:42:56.259 --> 00:42:56.699
 good

00:42:56.699 --> 00:42:57.599
 to Zion

00:42:57.599 --> 00:42:58.380
 Lord

00:42:58.380 --> 00:42:59.219
 don't let

00:42:59.219 --> 00:43:00.159
 my sin

00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:00.799
 hinder

00:43:00.799 --> 00:43:01.839
 the progress

00:43:01.839 --> 00:43:03.019
 of this

00:43:03.019 --> 00:43:03.500
 nation

00:43:03.500 --> 00:43:04.900
 and that

00:43:04.900 --> 00:43:05.320
 is why

00:43:05.320 --> 00:43:05.840
 he says

00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:06.559
 do good

00:43:06.559 --> 00:43:07.800
 to Zion

00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:08.199
 in your

00:43:08.199 --> 00:43:08.820
 good pleasure

00:43:08.820 --> 00:43:09.599
 build up

00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:10.780
 the walls

00:43:10.780 --> 00:43:12.039
 of Jerusalem

00:43:12.039 --> 00:43:14.440
 now the

00:43:14.440 --> 00:43:15.320
 question is

00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:18.059
 what was

00:43:18.059 --> 00:43:18.559
 David's

00:43:18.559 --> 00:43:19.159
 confession

00:43:19.159 --> 00:43:19.920
 met with

00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:21.460
 this psalm

00:43:21.460 --> 00:43:21.940
 doesn't give

00:43:21.940 --> 00:43:22.239
 us the

00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:22.579
 answer

00:43:22.579 --> 00:43:24.159
 but when

00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:24.500
 you put

00:43:24.500 --> 00:43:25.079
 this psalm

00:43:25.079 --> 00:43:25.320
 in the

00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:25.760
 context

00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:26.119
 of the

00:43:26.119 --> 00:43:26.340
 whole

00:43:26.340 --> 00:43:26.719
 Bible

00:43:26.719 --> 00:43:27.699
 what you

00:43:27.699 --> 00:43:28.159
 see is

00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:28.820
 that David's

00:43:28.820 --> 00:43:29.400
 confession

00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:30.380
 was only

00:43:30.380 --> 00:43:31.199
 met

00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:32.599
 with grace

00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:33.819
 he confessed

00:43:33.819 --> 00:43:34.440
 his sin

00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:35.400
 read 2

00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:35.719
 Samuel

00:43:35.719 --> 00:43:36.360
 chapter 12

00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:36.940
 what happens

00:43:36.940 --> 00:43:38.039
 they go back

00:43:38.039 --> 00:43:38.480
 to war

00:43:38.480 --> 00:43:38.839
 and they

00:43:38.839 --> 00:43:39.339
 defeat the

00:43:39.339 --> 00:43:39.900
 Ammonites

00:43:39.900 --> 00:43:40.779
 Israel

00:43:40.779 --> 00:43:41.639
 is protected

00:43:41.639 --> 00:43:43.239
 who

00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:44.360
 is the

00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:44.980
 heir to

00:43:44.980 --> 00:43:45.599
 the throne

00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:46.380
 after

00:43:46.380 --> 00:43:46.819
 David

00:43:46.819 --> 00:43:48.599
 Solomon

00:43:48.599 --> 00:43:50.279
 and what

00:43:50.279 --> 00:43:50.980
 marriage

00:43:50.980 --> 00:43:51.839
 does Solomon

00:43:51.839 --> 00:43:52.739
 come from

00:43:52.739 --> 00:43:55.539
 the affair

00:43:55.539 --> 00:43:56.500
 with Bathsheba

00:43:56.500 --> 00:44:00.159
 and what's

00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:00.639
 interesting

00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:01.159
 is when you

00:44:01.159 --> 00:44:01.539
 read the

00:44:01.539 --> 00:44:01.960
 life of

00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:02.339
 Solomon

00:44:02.340 --> 00:44:03.019
 when he

00:44:03.019 --> 00:44:03.440
 becomes

00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:03.680
 king

00:44:03.680 --> 00:44:03.900
 you know

00:44:03.900 --> 00:44:04.160
 one of

00:44:04.160 --> 00:44:04.519
 the first

00:44:04.519 --> 00:44:04.920
 things he

00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:05.260
 does

00:44:05.260 --> 00:44:07.620
 he fixes

00:44:07.620 --> 00:44:08.380
 a part

00:44:08.380 --> 00:44:08.700
 of the

00:44:08.700 --> 00:44:09.100
 walls

00:44:09.100 --> 00:44:09.820
 of Jerusalem

00:44:09.820 --> 00:44:12.000
 just a

00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:12.300
 sort of

00:44:12.300 --> 00:44:12.860
 innocuous

00:44:12.860 --> 00:44:13.360
 comment

00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:14.440
 but he

00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:15.280
 rebuilds

00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:15.620
 some of

00:44:15.620 --> 00:44:16.039
 the walls

00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:16.680
 of Jerusalem

00:44:16.680 --> 00:44:18.460
 so here

00:44:18.460 --> 00:44:19.000
 is David

00:44:19.000 --> 00:44:19.440
 he is

00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:19.780
 dead

00:44:19.780 --> 00:44:20.140
 he is

00:44:20.140 --> 00:44:20.620
 past

00:44:20.620 --> 00:44:21.720
 and here

00:44:21.720 --> 00:44:22.380
 is God

00:44:22.380 --> 00:44:23.100
 answering

00:44:23.100 --> 00:44:23.920
 his prayer

00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:25.600
 years

00:44:25.600 --> 00:44:26.100
 later

00:44:26.100 --> 00:44:27.960
 but here

00:44:27.960 --> 00:44:28.320
 is the

00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:28.760
 biggest

00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:29.620
 act of

00:44:29.620 --> 00:44:30.100
 grace

00:44:30.099 --> 00:44:33.579
!

00:44:33.579 --> 00:44:33.779
 what is

00:44:33.779 --> 00:44:34.000
 the

00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:34.420
 family

00:44:34.420 --> 00:44:34.900
 line

00:44:34.900 --> 00:44:35.119
 of

00:44:35.119 --> 00:44:35.440
 Jesus

00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:36.019
 Christ

00:44:36.019 --> 00:44:37.619
 he

00:44:37.619 --> 00:44:38.380
 comes

00:44:38.380 --> 00:44:39.440
 from

00:44:39.440 --> 00:44:39.980
 this

00:44:39.980 --> 00:44:41.079
 adulterous

00:44:41.079 --> 00:44:41.980
 affair

00:44:41.980 --> 00:44:45.019
 his name

00:44:45.019 --> 00:44:45.619
 is that

00:44:45.619 --> 00:44:45.920
 he will

00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:46.519
 save his

00:44:46.519 --> 00:44:47.119
 people from

00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:47.839
 their sins

00:44:47.840 --> 00:44:48.860
 and he

00:44:48.860 --> 00:44:49.500
 comes

00:44:49.500 --> 00:44:50.620
 from the

00:44:50.620 --> 00:44:51.360
 messiest

00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:52.519
 dirtiest

00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:53.500
 family

00:44:53.500 --> 00:44:56.039
 a man

00:44:56.039 --> 00:44:56.480
 and a

00:44:56.480 --> 00:44:56.740
 woman

00:44:56.740 --> 00:44:57.200
 who had

00:44:57.200 --> 00:44:57.760
 an affair

00:44:57.760 --> 00:44:58.420
 one night

00:44:58.420 --> 00:44:59.680
 and God

00:44:59.680 --> 00:45:00.960
 flows

00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:01.980
 grace

00:45:01.980 --> 00:45:03.059
 through that

00:45:03.059 --> 00:45:03.579
 family

00:45:03.579 --> 00:45:04.059
 line

00:45:04.059 --> 00:45:05.039
 and not

00:45:05.039 --> 00:45:05.320
 just

00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:07.059
 back to

00:45:07.059 --> 00:45:07.260
 them

00:45:07.260 --> 00:45:07.780
 to us

00:45:07.780 --> 00:45:08.480
 this morning

00:45:08.480 --> 00:45:09.119
 brothers and

00:45:09.119 --> 00:45:09.460
 sisters

00:45:09.460 --> 00:45:11.200
 if God

00:45:11.200 --> 00:45:11.680
 had not

00:45:11.680 --> 00:45:12.639
 responded in

00:45:12.639 --> 00:45:13.680
 grace to

00:45:13.680 --> 00:45:14.019
 David

00:45:14.019 --> 00:45:15.059
 and his

00:45:15.059 --> 00:45:15.480
 prayer

00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:16.400
 after he

00:45:16.400 --> 00:45:17.119
 confessed his

00:45:17.119 --> 00:45:17.360
 sin

00:45:17.360 --> 00:45:18.340
 where would

00:45:18.340 --> 00:45:19.019
 we be this

00:45:19.019 --> 00:45:19.340
 morning

00:45:19.340 --> 00:45:19.920
 we would

00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:20.440
 not be

00:45:20.440 --> 00:45:20.820
 here

00:45:20.820 --> 00:45:21.720
 there would

00:45:21.720 --> 00:45:22.440
 be no

00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:22.900
 Jesus

00:45:22.900 --> 00:45:23.539
 Christ

00:45:23.539 --> 00:45:25.740
 but because

00:45:25.740 --> 00:45:26.740
 God met

00:45:26.739 --> 00:45:28.059
 David with

00:45:28.059 --> 00:45:28.619
 grace

00:45:28.619 --> 00:45:29.799
 and mercy

00:45:29.799 --> 00:45:31.000
 we

00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:32.299
 have received

00:45:32.299 --> 00:45:32.819
 mercy

00:45:32.819 --> 00:45:34.039
 and grace

00:45:34.039 --> 00:45:35.559
 because

00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:37.219
 that great

00:45:37.219 --> 00:45:37.879
 grandson

00:45:37.879 --> 00:45:39.059
 of Bathsheba

00:45:39.059 --> 00:45:41.000
 David's

00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:41.939
 greater son

00:45:41.939 --> 00:45:43.179
 Jesus Christ

00:45:43.179 --> 00:45:43.859
 has come

00:45:43.859 --> 00:45:45.379
 to die

00:45:45.379 --> 00:45:45.879
 and rise

00:45:45.879 --> 00:45:46.219
 again

00:45:46.219 --> 00:45:47.000
 so that we

00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:48.519
 might be

00:45:48.519 --> 00:45:48.959
 forgiven

00:45:48.959 --> 00:45:51.259
 confession

00:45:51.259 --> 00:45:51.899
 of sin

00:45:51.899 --> 00:45:52.879
 is only ever

00:45:52.879 --> 00:45:53.379
 met

00:45:53.379 --> 00:45:54.479
 with God's

00:45:54.479 --> 00:45:54.739
 grace

00:45:54.739 --> 00:45:55.219
 it's not

00:45:55.219 --> 00:45:55.539
 that there

00:45:55.539 --> 00:45:55.779
 aren't

00:45:55.779 --> 00:45:56.519
 consequences

00:45:56.519 --> 00:45:57.119
 for our

00:45:57.119 --> 00:45:57.340
 sins

00:45:57.340 --> 00:45:57.820
 there are

00:45:57.820 --> 00:45:58.280
 huge

00:45:58.280 --> 00:45:58.960
 consequences

00:45:58.960 --> 00:45:59.960
 and may

00:45:59.960 --> 00:46:00.340
 that be

00:46:00.340 --> 00:46:01.099
 an incentive

00:46:01.099 --> 00:46:01.719
 to us

00:46:01.719 --> 00:46:02.300
 not to

00:46:02.300 --> 00:46:02.639
 sin

00:46:02.639 --> 00:46:04.039
 because sin

00:46:04.039 --> 00:46:04.960
 never comes

00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:05.259
 without

00:46:05.259 --> 00:46:06.019
 consequences

00:46:06.019 --> 00:46:07.559
 but if

00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:08.059
 we have

00:46:08.059 --> 00:46:09.059
 sinned

00:46:09.059 --> 00:46:10.119
 let us

00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:10.599
 know that

00:46:10.599 --> 00:46:11.099
 we come

00:46:11.099 --> 00:46:11.559
 to a

00:46:11.559 --> 00:46:11.960
 God

00:46:11.960 --> 00:46:12.340
 who is

00:46:12.340 --> 00:46:13.059
 a father

00:46:13.059 --> 00:46:14.380
 of grace

00:46:14.380 --> 00:46:15.420
 and mercy

00:46:15.420 --> 00:46:16.219
 and not

00:46:16.219 --> 00:46:16.940
 an angry

00:46:16.940 --> 00:46:17.460
 judge

00:46:17.460 --> 00:46:20.500
 I remember

00:46:20.500 --> 00:46:21.199
 last year

00:46:21.199 --> 00:46:21.579
 when the

00:46:21.579 --> 00:46:21.980
 Lance

00:46:21.980 --> 00:46:23.079
 Armstrong

00:46:23.079 --> 00:46:24.980
 saga

00:46:24.980 --> 00:46:25.480
 broke

00:46:25.480 --> 00:46:25.820
 and it

00:46:25.820 --> 00:46:26.300
 came out

00:46:26.300 --> 00:46:26.679
 that he

00:46:26.679 --> 00:46:26.960
 had

00:46:26.960 --> 00:46:27.380
 actually

00:46:27.380 --> 00:46:27.800
 taken

00:46:27.800 --> 00:46:28.340
 drugs

00:46:28.340 --> 00:46:29.099
 to win

00:46:29.099 --> 00:46:29.519
 all of

00:46:29.519 --> 00:46:29.740
 his

00:46:29.740 --> 00:46:30.179
 Tour de

00:46:30.179 --> 00:46:30.519
 France

00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:31.039
 titles

00:46:31.039 --> 00:46:32.099
 I remember

00:46:32.099 --> 00:46:33.000
 listening

00:46:33.000 --> 00:46:34.000
 to the

00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:34.460
 media

00:46:34.460 --> 00:46:35.300
 on the BBC

00:46:35.300 --> 00:46:36.000
 website

00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:37.360
 TV programs

00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:37.800
 etc

00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:38.800
 what I

00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:39.100
 found

00:46:39.100 --> 00:46:39.900
 fascinating

00:46:39.900 --> 00:46:40.400
 was

00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:41.519
 the

00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:42.120
 response

00:46:42.120 --> 00:46:42.380
 was

00:46:42.380 --> 00:46:42.900
 anger

00:46:42.900 --> 00:46:44.260
 disappointment

00:46:44.260 --> 00:46:45.900
 condemnation

00:46:45.900 --> 00:46:46.720
 stripping

00:46:46.720 --> 00:46:47.120
 of all

00:46:47.120 --> 00:46:47.280
 his

00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:47.840
 titles

00:46:47.840 --> 00:46:48.340
 do you

00:46:48.340 --> 00:46:48.500
 know

00:46:48.500 --> 00:46:48.960

00:46:48.960 --> 00:46:49.240
 word

00:46:49.240 --> 00:46:49.860
 I never

00:46:49.860 --> 00:46:50.360
 heard

00:46:50.360 --> 00:46:52.880
 grace

00:47:24.200 --> 00:47:27.700
 I love

00:47:27.700 --> 00:47:28.180

00:47:28.180 --> 00:47:28.640

 old

 hymn

00:47:32.320 --> 00:47:33.000

00:47:33.380 --> 00:47:33.579
 have

00:47:33.579 --> 00:47:33.940
 done
