00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.200
 We're going to take your Bibles this morning, turn over to Mark chapter 10 this morning,

00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:08.779
 Mark chapter 10, and we're going to be talking about sight this morning, you know, even as

00:00:08.779 --> 00:00:14.220
 we get ready to send Josh and Jared over to Paris. The reality is we live in a world where there's

00:00:14.220 --> 00:00:20.960
 much darkness, there's much spiritual blindness, and the reality is is that how we see things,

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:28.120
 how we perceive things, impacts so much of our understanding, you know, because our sight aids

00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:33.719
 us so much in life. You know, it's amazing how many things that we rely on for our sight,

00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:40.719
 you know, and sometimes even take for granted. I mean, as we just, things as we see help us safely

00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:48.480
 navigate obstacles. I mean, it helps us to know what's going on around us in so much contrast to

00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:54.159
 that. You know, also our sight gives us the opportunity to see the wonder and the awe,

00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:59.779
 you know, the texture and the depth and the colors all around us. I mean, our sight is something that

00:00:59.779 --> 00:01:08.539
 has so many inputs into our life and to help us so much and just to help us understand the beauty

00:01:08.539 --> 00:01:15.699
 and to understand and perceive the things that are going on. Our eyesight feeds so many things in our

00:01:15.699 --> 00:01:23.000
 life. But, you know, it has been said that no one is so blind as he who will not see. Because, you know,

00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:29.079
 the thing is this, many walk around today with eyes that work just fine physically. You know,

00:01:29.099 --> 00:01:34.060
 we have a physical eyes that work. We can see all the vibrancy, all the color, all the things

00:01:34.060 --> 00:01:41.659
 that are around us. And when we understand the world through that, we physically know those things.

00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:49.460
 But oftentimes we don't realize that there is a spiritual blindness that is up on individuals

00:01:49.459 --> 00:01:54.859
 and they're traveling down a road and they don't even see the destination that is taking them.

00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:59.979
 They think they're perfectly fine. They think they're safe. They think everything is going good.

00:02:01.259 --> 00:02:05.839
 But they soon realize, and they're going to realize one day definitely the reality

00:02:05.839 --> 00:02:12.340
 that the road they're on leads to destruction. You know, if we don't pay attention, we can get caught up

00:02:12.340 --> 00:02:18.579
 to that because, you know, we understand that our eyes, have you ever noticed that sometimes you can be

00:02:18.580 --> 00:02:25.140
 looking at something and walk right past it? You can even be looking for it and walk right past it.

00:02:26.260 --> 00:02:29.200
 Why? Because you have sight, but you're really not seeing.

00:02:31.160 --> 00:02:35.020
 You're not perceiving the things that are critical, the things that are important.

00:02:36.060 --> 00:02:41.920
 And we find this morning in Mark chapter 10, we find one who could not see the world around him.

00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:48.679
 He was blind, but when he heard about the one that was able to open his eyes that was passing by,

00:02:49.259 --> 00:02:57.379
 because he heard of Jesus of Nazareth was going by and he knew that it was his opportunity to truly see,

00:02:58.019 --> 00:03:01.359
 to understand what was the importance of it.

00:03:01.419 --> 00:03:03.579
 And we're going to look here this morning at this.

00:03:03.580 --> 00:03:07.860
 So if you found Mark chapter 10 this morning, we're going to begin reading here in verse 46.

00:03:07.860 --> 00:03:11.380
 If you want to stand together and honor the reading of the word of God here this morning,

00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:15.540
 as is our custom, just to honor the Lord here.

00:03:15.880 --> 00:03:19.640
 And as we look here in verse 46, if you follow along, it says,

00:03:19.760 --> 00:03:23.760
 And they came to Jericho, and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples,

00:03:23.880 --> 00:03:28.660
 and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus and the son of Timaeus,

00:03:28.659 --> 00:03:31.199
 sat by the highway side begging.

00:03:32.340 --> 00:03:37.599
 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say,

00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.699
 Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.139
 And many charged him that he should hold his peace.

00:03:44.900 --> 00:03:46.900
 And he cried the more a great deal.

00:03:47.740 --> 00:03:50.079
 Thou son of David, have mercy on me.

00:03:50.780 --> 00:03:54.460
 And Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called.

00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.280
 And they called the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort.

00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:59.280
 Rise, he calleth thee.

00:03:59.960 --> 00:04:03.360
 And he, casting away his garment, rose and came to Jesus.

00:04:03.920 --> 00:04:09.080
 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?

00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:13.539
 The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.

00:04:14.460 --> 00:04:18.500
 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way, thy faith hath made thee whole.

00:04:19.339 --> 00:04:25.620
 And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus in the way.

00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:26.819
 Let's pray.

00:04:26.899 --> 00:04:33.139
 Heavenly Father, as we come before you this morning, Lord, we're just so thankful for the opportunity, Lord,

00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:34.699
 that you've given us your word, Lord.

00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:40.519
 We've given us the ability to have a sight beyond the physical sight that we have, Lord,

00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:47.399
 that we might be able to see, even here today, the reality of who you are and what you've done for us.

00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.680
 Lord, we pray just have your hand upon the message, upon the things said and done, Lord,

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.139
 that you might be glorified above all, your people encouraged.

00:04:55.280 --> 00:05:00.560
 But, Lord, if there's one here today that doesn't know you as Savior, that today would be the day that they would say,

00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:06.019
 I recognize who Jesus is and I recognize my need of a Savior.

00:05:06.840 --> 00:05:10.360
 Lord, we just leave these things in your hands here today, Lord, above all.

00:05:10.699 --> 00:05:12.399
 And we ask it in your precious name.

00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:13.259
 Amen.

00:05:13.579 --> 00:05:14.060
 May be seated.

00:05:14.060 --> 00:05:23.500
 You know, as we see here, we find the road that Jesus was now taking is, remember, Jesus is on his way to Jerusalem.

00:05:23.980 --> 00:05:30.120
 He's making his way up to Jerusalem, and he's heading there for a very particular event.

00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:36.360
 And the disciples are traveling along, and they have in their mind a particular event.

00:05:36.740 --> 00:05:41.060
 And the two correlate one with another because they're going up to the Passover.

00:05:41.060 --> 00:05:45.280
 And many people were traveling this road going up to the Passover.

00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:52.280
 And it was a familiar portion of road on that route there to Jerusalem because it was a road through Jericho.

00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:59.160
 And if you understand, as they would come down from Galilee, they would cross over the Jordan.

00:05:59.259 --> 00:06:03.060
 They would come down the west side of the Jordan to avoid Samaria.

00:06:03.060 --> 00:06:09.379
 And they would come into the land towards Jerusalem again there and cross over at Jericho.

00:06:09.379 --> 00:06:13.740
 Yes, the same Jericho that Joshua and the people used.

00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:17.219
 That same areas where they came through into the land initially.

00:06:17.740 --> 00:06:21.879
 It was right there, that same Jericho that they're speaking of.

00:06:22.100 --> 00:06:26.319
 And this is a way that had been used for generations.

00:06:26.860 --> 00:06:31.459
 And even though the city had been destroyed in the days of Joshua,

00:06:31.899 --> 00:06:35.180
 we find that the days of Joshua was destroyed.

00:06:35.180 --> 00:06:38.280
 We know from as they went into the land.

00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:42.180
 But we know also that in the days of Ahab, the city had been rebuilt.

00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:49.100
 You know, in 1 Kings chapter 16, it tells us the city was rebuilt in the days of Ahab with a great cost.

00:06:50.139 --> 00:06:55.300
 You know, you can go back and look at that and read 1 Kings 16 and learn more about that.

00:06:55.300 --> 00:06:59.860
 But I want you to understand when we look at this also, as you read your Bible,

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:03.259
 one of the things that will help you understand, you have the old city of Jericho.

00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:11.600
 And about a mile away, you have the new city of Jericho that King Herod built and had his summer palace at.

00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:18.480
 Because when you read through the Gospels, sometimes this passage is a little confusing of entering and going

00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:22.139
 and coming back into Jericho and you're trying to figure out, okay, what's going on?

00:07:22.139 --> 00:07:27.879
 But it helps you understand if you have the old city and a mile down the road you have the new city,

00:07:28.479 --> 00:07:32.159
 it helps you understand what's happening here along the way.

00:07:32.539 --> 00:07:34.479
 Because how can you be in two Jerichos?

00:07:34.579 --> 00:07:35.240
 Well, there was.

00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:41.459
 And that's the reason you'll find that this dynamic is important.

00:07:41.819 --> 00:07:47.680
 But Jericho is mentioned here specifically to know where they were passing through.

00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:55.360
 And as Jesus passed through this area of Jericho, between the old city that had been rebuilt and Herod's new city,

00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:59.819
 you know, like I said, remember, they're about a mile apart, so you have people along the way.

00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:04.300
 And so this will help you grab a hold of that as you read through the Gospels,

00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:07.740
 if you understand that dynamic as it's being said.

00:08:07.740 --> 00:08:14.100
 But this particular account here in Mark brings to light a very specific individual

00:08:14.100 --> 00:08:18.980
 because it explains the reality of a man who was blind.

00:08:19.660 --> 00:08:23.460
 Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, he was seated along the route.

00:08:23.579 --> 00:08:24.680
 Why would he be seated there?

00:08:24.780 --> 00:08:30.500
 Well, it's really pretty simple when you think about it because as he is mentioned here by name,

00:08:30.819 --> 00:08:35.180
 we know that he would have been there for that very reason of knowing.

00:08:35.179 --> 00:08:39.919
 If he was a beggar and needed that, you've got a whole bunch of pilgrims going to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover.

00:08:40.299 --> 00:08:41.919
 It's a good place to hang out.

00:08:43.699 --> 00:08:44.699
 He had a need.

00:08:44.779 --> 00:08:45.799
 People are going to be generous.

00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.359
 You know, it's kind of like you see things at Christmastime around in America.

00:08:50.500 --> 00:08:51.719
 You know, people get very generous.

00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:55.159
 People going up to the Passover would have been generous,

00:08:55.319 --> 00:08:57.799
 so he would have been there alongside the road,

00:08:57.859 --> 00:09:01.379
 and we find that he had been there begging with many others that had real needs.

00:09:01.379 --> 00:09:04.500
 You know, he could not see.

00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:13.059
 But we find here that Mark's gospel is the one who mentions him by name.

00:09:16.019 --> 00:09:21.860
 I think it's important to realize that when we think about him mentioning specifically by name,

00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:25.899
 it's the reality that your name is that personal interaction.

00:09:25.899 --> 00:09:30.779
 You know, we need to remember that we have a personal Savior,

00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:33.679
 one who knows your name.

00:09:34.500 --> 00:09:36.000
 He knows who you are.

00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:38.299
 You say, well, why is that important?

00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:42.959
 Because remember, Mark's gospel was written to the Gentiles.

00:09:43.259 --> 00:09:45.639
 In a Gentile mind, God is distant.

00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:47.860
 God is far away.

00:09:47.980 --> 00:09:49.539
 God really doesn't know you.

00:09:49.539 --> 00:09:54.579
 God is something that you have to give tribute to,

00:09:54.659 --> 00:09:56.059
 so you might just gain his favor.

00:09:58.219 --> 00:10:03.240
 But I want you to remember that God doesn't just want you to do things to gain his favor.

00:10:03.459 --> 00:10:05.579
 God loves you, and he knows you by name.

00:10:06.699 --> 00:10:07.579
 He's personal.

00:10:09.699 --> 00:10:10.639
 He's personal.

00:10:11.019 --> 00:10:13.959
 And that reality, that person, even know your name.

00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:20.400
 But we find here that as all these things were going on,

00:10:20.780 --> 00:10:24.280
 and the disciples are traveling here with Jesus,

00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.259
 and we know last week, you know,

00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:29.580
 we had that kind of a tense exchange that occurred

00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:33.900
 when Jesus had to refocus them to think biblically

00:10:33.900 --> 00:10:37.600
 and to see things biblically and not worldly.

00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:42.560
 Because sometimes we can be thinking and seeing things the wrong way.

00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.460
 But, you know, we can have something explained to us and still not see it,

00:10:49.400 --> 00:10:50.780
 still not understand it.

00:10:52.220 --> 00:10:56.060
 You know, Luke chapter 18, discussing this same dynamic,

00:10:56.180 --> 00:10:59.360
 a portion of Scripture right before this, it says in verse 34,

00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:00.280
 it says,

00:11:00.379 --> 00:11:03.620
 And they understood none of these things, and the saying was hid from them,

00:11:03.940 --> 00:11:06.940
 neither knew they the things that which were spoken.

00:11:07.660 --> 00:11:11.220
 In other words, the disciples were still struggling with some sight

00:11:11.220 --> 00:11:12.840
 and understanding what was going to happen

00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:17.060
 because Jesus was going up to Jerusalem to die on the cross.

00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:20.280
 He told them he was going to go to Jerusalem, he was going to die,

00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.300
 he was going to be buried, he was going to rise again.

00:11:24.740 --> 00:11:26.920
 It was still not making sense to them.

00:11:28.019 --> 00:11:28.240
 You know?

00:11:28.700 --> 00:11:30.899
 That same problem that we have many times,

00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.000
 and we find here that Bartimaeus' problem here

00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:37.840
 pictures for us a condition that needs to be dealt with.

00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:42.080
 Because even the disciples had some blindness in them,

00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:43.700
 even though they had all the information.

00:11:45.100 --> 00:11:48.060
 Everything was before them, but they did not yet see.

00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:56.700
 And here we have an illustration of a blind man who could not see physically,

00:11:56.700 --> 00:12:06.360
 but he did hear and understand and gain some physical sight and understanding.

00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:10.480
 And we're going to look at that here this morning as we look through here

00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:14.300
 because let's look at his condition that he was in

00:12:14.300 --> 00:12:17.160
 because the condition of Bartimaeus here,

00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:21.240
 I want you to understand that he could not physically see.

00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:22.259
 He was blind,

00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:24.680
 but yet he got sight of a Savior.

00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.559
 We all have something in common with Bartimaeus.

00:12:28.659 --> 00:12:32.699
 It was that spiritual blindness that hinders what we see.

00:12:33.299 --> 00:12:35.579
 You know, Paul, when he was writing to the church at Corinth,

00:12:35.699 --> 00:12:37.500
 reminded them of this.

00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:40.179
 Look at 2 Corinthians chapter 4 and verse 4.

00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:41.939
 It says this, it says,

00:12:42.079 --> 00:12:46.899
 In whom the God of this world hath what blinded the minds of them,

00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:48.399
 which believe not.

00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:52.899
 You know, the reality is we live in a world that's spiritual blind.

00:12:52.899 --> 00:12:54.799
 It's spiritual darkness.

00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:58.879
 If you have any questions, just turn on the news for a little while.

00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:02.559
 It's evident.

00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:06.240
 It's all around us.

00:13:06.340 --> 00:13:08.819
 God's description of mankind is accurate.

00:13:08.820 --> 00:13:15.960
 People have a spiritual blindness to what is going on and what they need.

00:13:16.300 --> 00:13:17.520
 Because notice here,

00:13:17.780 --> 00:13:18.200
 it says,

00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:18.480
 It says,

00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:21.160
 Lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,

00:13:21.340 --> 00:13:22.860
 who is the image of God,

00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:24.440
 should shine unto them.

00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:27.260
 You know,

00:13:27.280 --> 00:13:29.060
 when the mind blocks something out,

00:13:29.140 --> 00:13:31.600
 we can walk by it many times and not see it.

00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:39.159
 Spiritual blindness is walking past the truth of the gospel many times and not seeing it.

00:13:40.940 --> 00:13:42.620
 It doesn't mean it's not there.

00:13:42.700 --> 00:13:43.840
 It doesn't mean it's not available.

00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:47.200
 It means you don't see it.

00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:49.899
 It hasn't connected.

00:13:49.899 --> 00:13:53.699
 But the amazing thing is,

00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:54.639
 when it is seen,

00:13:55.199 --> 00:13:56.240
 when you do understand,

00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:00.139
 there's a marvelous transformation that takes place in the life of an individual.

00:14:06.439 --> 00:14:10.500
 Because spiritual blindness leads to another problem.

00:14:10.620 --> 00:14:13.039
 Look in Ephesians chapter 4 and verse 18.

00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:14.199
 It says this,

00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:24.280
 In other words,

00:14:24.340 --> 00:14:26.379
 they say they have something in their desire,

00:14:26.540 --> 00:14:27.160
 in their heart,

00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:28.980
 and it's blinding them to the truth.

00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:29.240
 You know,

00:14:29.259 --> 00:14:31.800
 today we have a lot of blindness of heart,

00:14:31.900 --> 00:14:34.100
 because you have a theme out there that says,

00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:35.500
 do whatever your heart desires.

00:14:35.580 --> 00:14:35.900
 You know what?

00:14:35.920 --> 00:14:37.320
 The heart is desperately wicked.

00:14:39.259 --> 00:14:41.340
 The heart is in blindness,

00:14:41.560 --> 00:14:43.180
 contrary to the things of God.

00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:48.140
 Sin binds us,

00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:50.120
 and selfishness binds us

00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:54.540
 into a spiritual blindness of their heart.

00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:58.520
 Blind minds in blind hearts

00:14:58.520 --> 00:15:00.040
 which cannot see the truth.

00:15:02.220 --> 00:15:03.740
 But the reality is,

00:15:03.780 --> 00:15:05.460
 is this question that comes from this,

00:15:05.520 --> 00:15:07.300
 is what are we failing to see?

00:15:07.379 --> 00:15:08.300
 What is the blindness?

00:15:08.780 --> 00:15:10.000
 What are we blind to?

00:15:10.100 --> 00:15:11.900
 That's an important question to answer.

00:15:11.899 --> 00:15:14.559
 When he's talking about spiritual blindness,

00:15:15.199 --> 00:15:16.419
 blindness of our eyes,

00:15:16.539 --> 00:15:18.259
 and blindness of our minds,

00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:20.000
 and blindness of our heart,

00:15:20.079 --> 00:15:21.399
 what is he speaking about?

00:15:25.899 --> 00:15:27.059
 I think it's very clear

00:15:27.059 --> 00:15:28.220
 as you look through the scripture,

00:15:28.899 --> 00:15:32.120
 because it's not just truth in general

00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:33.100
 that we're blind to.

00:15:35.500 --> 00:15:36.039
 You say,

00:15:36.100 --> 00:15:36.360
 Preacher,

00:15:36.439 --> 00:15:37.059
 what are you talking about?

00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:37.439
 You know what?

00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:38.840
 It's very easy for other people

00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:40.420
 to point out other people's problems.

00:15:42.300 --> 00:15:42.800
 Have you ever noticed

00:15:42.800 --> 00:15:43.740
 it's easy to say,

00:15:44.160 --> 00:15:44.260
 well,

00:15:44.300 --> 00:15:45.560
 that person did that wrong,

00:15:45.640 --> 00:15:47.020
 and that person's doing that wrong,

00:15:47.060 --> 00:15:48.440
 and this person's doing that wrong,

00:15:48.520 --> 00:15:49.120
 and you know,

00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:49.900
 it doesn't take much

00:15:49.900 --> 00:15:50.960
 to point out the problem

00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:51.600
 in other people.

00:15:55.020 --> 00:15:56.000
 Spiritual blindness,

00:15:56.220 --> 00:15:57.160
 the problem is,

00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:58.140
 is we don't understand

00:15:58.140 --> 00:15:59.060
 our own condition.

00:15:59.059 --> 00:16:04.179
 Because you can look at people

00:16:04.179 --> 00:16:05.619
 that have no idea who God is,

00:16:05.659 --> 00:16:07.000
 and they'll start judging other people

00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:07.719
 for right and wrong.

00:16:10.179 --> 00:16:11.159
 But the problem is,

00:16:11.179 --> 00:16:12.479
 they don't see it that it's them

00:16:12.479 --> 00:16:13.500
 that is the problem.

00:16:15.659 --> 00:16:16.939
 The spiritual blindness

00:16:16.939 --> 00:16:18.319
 is within an individual.

00:16:19.599 --> 00:16:21.839
 The reality of how it equates to them.

00:16:23.079 --> 00:16:23.939
 We find here,

00:16:24.099 --> 00:16:24.839
 like Bartimaeus,

00:16:24.979 --> 00:16:26.299
 we are not only blind,

00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:28.779
 but our blindness leaves us in need.

00:16:29.299 --> 00:16:29.500
 You know,

00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:30.199
 the Bible says

00:16:30.199 --> 00:16:31.019
 he was not any blind,

00:16:31.099 --> 00:16:31.839
 he was a beggar.

00:16:32.219 --> 00:16:32.419
 You know,

00:16:32.439 --> 00:16:33.479
 the reality of a beggar

00:16:33.479 --> 00:16:35.939
 is one without means

00:16:35.939 --> 00:16:37.219
 to sustain themselves.

00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:44.639
 When you don't have Christ,

00:16:44.779 --> 00:16:45.679
 you are a beggar.

00:16:47.859 --> 00:16:49.419
 You have not the means

00:16:49.419 --> 00:16:50.479
 to sustain yourself.

00:16:53.319 --> 00:16:54.679
 You have no means

00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:56.459
 to come to God for salvation.

00:16:56.460 --> 00:16:59.780
 There's nothing within ourselves

00:16:59.780 --> 00:17:02.780
 until you realize

00:17:02.780 --> 00:17:03.940
 that you do not possess

00:17:03.940 --> 00:17:06.100
 the means of yourself

00:17:06.100 --> 00:17:07.319
 to be right with God.

00:17:09.019 --> 00:17:10.240
 Think about for a moment

00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:11.019
 what Job,

00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:12.740
 Job chapter 9,

00:17:12.840 --> 00:17:14.640
 Job makes a very declarative statement.

00:17:18.180 --> 00:17:19.559
 Because the problem is,

00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:19.960
 oftentimes,

00:17:20.180 --> 00:17:21.660
 we like to justify ourselves,

00:17:21.779 --> 00:17:22.019
 don't we?

00:17:22.019 --> 00:17:24.940
 Notice what he says,

00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:25.680
 and I justify,

00:17:25.980 --> 00:17:27.599
 if I justify myself,

00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:28.799
 my own mouth

00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:29.839
 shall condemn me.

00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:32.639
 You know,

00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:34.119
 when you try to justify yourself,

00:17:34.220 --> 00:17:34.759
 you know what you do?

00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:35.400
 You end up

00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:36.420
 condemning yourself.

00:17:38.740 --> 00:17:39.740
 Because the problem is,

00:17:39.779 --> 00:17:39.879
 you say,

00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:40.139
 preacher,

00:17:40.220 --> 00:17:40.639
 how do you do that?

00:17:40.660 --> 00:17:40.779
 Well,

00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:41.839
 one example would be this,

00:17:41.879 --> 00:17:42.559
 when you're condemning

00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:43.720
 somebody else for something,

00:17:44.259 --> 00:17:44.680
 oftentimes,

00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:46.180
 you're still guilty of it too.

00:17:46.180 --> 00:17:51.320
 Notice what it says,

00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:52.720
 if I say I am perfect,

00:17:52.900 --> 00:17:56.299
 it shall also prove me perverse.

00:17:58.640 --> 00:17:58.840
 You know,

00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:00.440
 Job was a godly man

00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:02.060
 who had a perspective

00:18:02.060 --> 00:18:03.539
 and an understanding.

00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:03.940
 He said,

00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:05.100
 I want you everybody to know

00:18:05.100 --> 00:18:06.759
 that there's nothing in me

00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:07.460
 that's good.

00:18:08.259 --> 00:18:10.539
 If I try to build myself up,

00:18:10.779 --> 00:18:11.180
 you know what,

00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:12.080
 I'm going to do nothing

00:18:12.080 --> 00:18:13.400
 but condemn myself

00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:15.340
 and to declare

00:18:15.340 --> 00:18:16.340
 the reality

00:18:16.340 --> 00:18:17.400
 of who I am.

00:18:20.580 --> 00:18:22.140
 Jesus was dealing with this

00:18:22.140 --> 00:18:23.800
 over in Luke chapter 16.

00:18:24.740 --> 00:18:25.540
 Luke 16,

00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:26.600
 the Gospel of Luke

00:18:26.600 --> 00:18:27.780
 records just a little bit

00:18:27.780 --> 00:18:28.740
 previous to this

00:18:28.740 --> 00:18:30.180
 about an account

00:18:30.180 --> 00:18:31.100
 and it talks here

00:18:31.100 --> 00:18:32.820
 in Luke 16

00:18:32.820 --> 00:18:33.820
 in verse 15.

00:18:34.560 --> 00:18:36.080
 It tells us this,

00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:36.960
 and he said unto them,

00:18:37.080 --> 00:18:38.519
 ye that which justify

00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:39.900
 yourselves before men,

00:18:39.980 --> 00:18:41.400
 but God knoweth your hearts

00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:42.580
 for that which is

00:18:42.579 --> 00:18:44.099
 highly esteemed among men

00:18:44.099 --> 00:18:45.000
 is an abomination

00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:46.399
 in the sight of God.

00:18:48.740 --> 00:18:49.299
 You know,

00:18:49.339 --> 00:18:50.139
 oftentimes we try

00:18:50.139 --> 00:18:51.399
 to build ourselves up

00:18:51.399 --> 00:18:52.659
 with worldly things,

00:18:53.159 --> 00:18:54.879
 not realizing

00:18:54.879 --> 00:18:55.639
 that those things

00:18:55.639 --> 00:18:56.419
 are an abomination

00:18:56.419 --> 00:18:57.259
 to God.

00:19:00.859 --> 00:19:02.119
 When we understand

00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:02.859
 the condition

00:19:02.859 --> 00:19:03.759
 that we're desperate

00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:05.480
 in need for a change,

00:19:05.980 --> 00:19:07.519
 and that change

00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:09.179
 is needed immediately.

00:19:09.180 --> 00:19:12.860
 here's Bartimaeus

00:19:12.860 --> 00:19:13.640
 and we see here,

00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:14.600
 notice in the text

00:19:14.600 --> 00:19:15.400
 here this morning,

00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:19.360
 in verse 47,

00:19:19.460 --> 00:19:19.700
 it says,

00:19:19.820 --> 00:19:20.400
 when he heard

00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:21.480
 that it was Jesus

00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:22.519
 of Nazareth.

00:19:24.860 --> 00:19:25.920
 When he heard

00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:26.860
 that it was Jesus

00:19:26.860 --> 00:19:27.660
 of Nazareth,

00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:28.720
 he began to cry out

00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:29.019
 and say,

00:19:29.120 --> 00:19:29.560
 Jesus,

00:19:30.080 --> 00:19:31.160
 thou son of David,

00:19:31.259 --> 00:19:32.900
 have mercy on me.

00:19:34.100 --> 00:19:34.519
 You know,

00:19:34.560 --> 00:19:35.720
 what a powerful reality

00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:36.519
 he heard

00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:37.859
 that it was Jesus

00:19:37.859 --> 00:19:38.680
 of Nazareth

00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:39.079
 that was going

00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:39.960
 to pass by.

00:19:41.180 --> 00:19:42.480
 I want you to understand

00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:42.799
 today,

00:19:42.879 --> 00:19:43.599
 that's important.

00:19:45.139 --> 00:19:46.240
 He was designated

00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:47.279
 which Jesus

00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:48.359
 he was talking about,

00:19:48.779 --> 00:19:49.759
 which Jesus

00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:50.379
 he heard,

00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:51.900
 what Jesus

00:19:51.900 --> 00:19:52.759
 it is

00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:53.779
 that he's speaking of,

00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:54.639
 because today,

00:19:54.879 --> 00:19:55.879
 I want you to understand,

00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:56.759
 there's many

00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:57.720
 type people

00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:58.839
 promoting Jesus

00:19:58.839 --> 00:19:59.900
 that's not the Jesus

00:19:59.900 --> 00:20:00.599
 of Nazareth.

00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:03.659
 They try to promote

00:20:03.659 --> 00:20:05.179
 Jesus in their own image.

00:20:06.059 --> 00:20:06.980
 Are Jesus

00:20:06.980 --> 00:20:07.480
 in the way

00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:08.259
 they want them?

00:20:08.339 --> 00:20:08.480
 You know,

00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:09.039
 we have people

00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:10.000
 who promote Jesus

00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:10.959
 that seems to die

00:20:10.959 --> 00:20:11.719
 again and again

00:20:11.719 --> 00:20:12.219
 and again.

00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:15.259
 That's not the Jesus

00:20:15.259 --> 00:20:15.959
 of the Bible.

00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:18.459
 It says he died

00:20:18.459 --> 00:20:19.519
 once for all.

00:20:21.259 --> 00:20:21.959
 You have people

00:20:21.959 --> 00:20:22.719
 who try to promote

00:20:22.719 --> 00:20:23.279
 a Jesus

00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:25.000
 of a Hollywood type,

00:20:25.099 --> 00:20:25.319
 you know,

00:20:25.339 --> 00:20:26.139
 and they try to promote

00:20:26.139 --> 00:20:27.919
 the idea of Jesus

00:20:27.919 --> 00:20:28.639
 and the concept

00:20:28.639 --> 00:20:29.159
 of Jesus.

00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:30.920
 Or you have the Jesus

00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:32.100
 of the popular

00:20:32.100 --> 00:20:33.080
 show The Chosen.

00:20:33.180 --> 00:20:34.019
 That's not the Jesus

00:20:34.019 --> 00:20:34.680
 of the Bible.

00:20:36.840 --> 00:20:38.019
 I'm just going to tell you

00:20:38.019 --> 00:20:38.980
 that you have to be careful

00:20:38.980 --> 00:20:40.519
 because the devil

00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:41.779
 loves to deceive you

00:20:41.779 --> 00:20:43.180
 with false Jesuses.

00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:46.460
 Jesus that aren't

00:20:46.460 --> 00:20:47.740
 Jesus of Nazareth.

00:20:51.940 --> 00:20:53.720
 Look over into Luke chapter 21

00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:54.340
 for a moment.

00:20:57.460 --> 00:20:58.440
 I'll let Jesus

00:20:58.440 --> 00:20:59.220
 make my point.

00:21:01.299 --> 00:21:02.200
 There's no better person

00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:02.759
 to make the point

00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:03.180
 than Jesus.

00:21:03.320 --> 00:21:03.480
 Amen?

00:21:12.860 --> 00:21:13.680
 Notice what he says

00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:14.360
 in verse 8.

00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:15.039
 He gives a warning.

00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:16.759
 He said,

00:21:17.120 --> 00:21:17.420
 Take heed

00:21:17.420 --> 00:21:18.920
 that ye be not deceived.

00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:21.259
 For many shall come

00:21:21.259 --> 00:21:22.000
 in my name

00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:22.380
 saying,

00:21:22.580 --> 00:21:23.559
 I am Christ

00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:25.759
 and the time

00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:26.700
 draweth nigh.

00:21:26.700 --> 00:21:28.880
 Notice what he says.

00:21:28.980 --> 00:21:29.720
 Go ye not

00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:30.140
 therefore

00:21:30.140 --> 00:21:30.819
 after

00:21:30.819 --> 00:21:32.160
 them.

00:21:36.259 --> 00:21:37.080
 The Jesus

00:21:37.080 --> 00:21:37.860
 you need to know

00:21:37.860 --> 00:21:38.500
 is the Jesus

00:21:38.500 --> 00:21:38.920
 you learn

00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:39.600
 from the Scripture.

00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:43.279
 Not the image

00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:44.100
 that somebody else

00:21:44.100 --> 00:21:44.720
 portrays

00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:45.460
 or tries to make

00:21:45.460 --> 00:21:45.819
 him be.

00:21:47.100 --> 00:21:47.819
 It's a very

00:21:47.819 --> 00:21:48.759
 dangerous thing

00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:49.539
 that we see today

00:21:49.539 --> 00:21:50.019
 a trend

00:21:50.019 --> 00:21:50.720
 that people want

00:21:50.720 --> 00:21:51.819
 to kind of have

00:21:51.819 --> 00:21:52.819
 a kinder,

00:21:52.980 --> 00:21:53.720
 gentler Jesus

00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:54.559
 you might say.

00:21:54.559 --> 00:21:55.980
 They want a Jesus

00:21:55.980 --> 00:21:56.519
 that fits

00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:57.279
 their narrative.

00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:00.679
 I want you

00:22:00.679 --> 00:22:01.419
 to understand

00:22:01.419 --> 00:22:02.000
 the Savior

00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:02.679
 you need

00:22:02.679 --> 00:22:03.240
 doesn't fit

00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:03.859
 your narrative.

00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:07.419
 He is

00:22:07.419 --> 00:22:08.559
 the great I am.

00:22:08.619 --> 00:22:09.359
 He is the creator.

00:22:09.500 --> 00:22:10.299
 He is above all.

00:22:10.379 --> 00:22:11.079
 He is all.

00:22:15.019 --> 00:22:16.139
 He's the measurement.

00:22:16.339 --> 00:22:16.679
 We don't get

00:22:16.679 --> 00:22:17.480
 to measure him.

00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:23.900
 He says

00:22:23.900 --> 00:22:24.460
 he heard about

00:22:24.460 --> 00:22:25.779
 Jesus of Nazareth

00:22:25.779 --> 00:22:27.279
 the only begotten

00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:28.200
 son of God

00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:29.319
 the son of David.

00:22:30.259 --> 00:22:30.400
 You know

00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:31.120
 a little later

00:22:31.120 --> 00:22:33.279
 as Jesus

00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:34.180
 is there

00:22:34.180 --> 00:22:35.000
 in Jerusalem

00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:35.980
 in Matthew

00:22:35.980 --> 00:22:37.039
 chapter 22

00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:38.539
 they ask

00:22:38.539 --> 00:22:39.039
 and he asks

00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:39.480
 the question

00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:39.740
 he says

00:22:39.740 --> 00:22:40.620
 what think

00:22:40.620 --> 00:22:41.380
 ye of Christ

00:22:41.380 --> 00:22:42.019
 whose son

00:22:42.019 --> 00:22:42.539
 is he?

00:22:42.860 --> 00:22:43.220
 And you know

00:22:43.220 --> 00:22:43.940
 they all declare

00:22:43.940 --> 00:22:44.620
 very clearly

00:22:44.620 --> 00:22:45.779
 the son of David.

00:22:45.779 --> 00:22:47.259
 So I want you

00:22:47.259 --> 00:22:47.720
 to see here

00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:48.460
 that Bartimaeus

00:22:48.460 --> 00:22:49.399
 here this morning

00:22:49.399 --> 00:22:50.099
 is declaring

00:22:50.099 --> 00:22:51.259
 a very specific

00:22:51.259 --> 00:22:51.839
 Jesus.

00:22:53.980 --> 00:22:54.619
 He says

00:22:54.619 --> 00:22:55.220
 I want the

00:22:55.220 --> 00:22:55.920
 Jesus of

00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:56.279
 scripture.

00:22:56.779 --> 00:22:57.279
 I want the

00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:57.899
 Jesus of

00:22:57.899 --> 00:22:58.799
 the living God

00:22:58.799 --> 00:22:59.660
 who came

00:22:59.660 --> 00:23:00.180
 and died

00:23:00.180 --> 00:23:00.759
 for me.

00:23:00.980 --> 00:23:01.639
 He didn't know

00:23:01.639 --> 00:23:02.160
 that yet

00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:02.680
 but it's what

00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:03.480
 he was declaring.

00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:04.460
 He said

00:23:04.460 --> 00:23:04.839
 I'm going to

00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:05.559
 trust God's

00:23:05.559 --> 00:23:05.899
 promise.

00:23:05.899 --> 00:23:06.119
 He said

00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:08.799
 I'm going to

00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:09.480
 trust God's

00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:09.960
 promise.

00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:12.119
 He understood

00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:13.279
 the reality

00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:14.639
 of who Jesus

00:23:14.639 --> 00:23:15.460
 is that he is

00:23:15.460 --> 00:23:15.900
 the way

00:23:15.900 --> 00:23:16.460
 the truth

00:23:16.460 --> 00:23:17.200
 and the life

00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:18.500
 that provides

00:23:18.500 --> 00:23:19.039
 the soul

00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:19.840
 means to be

00:23:19.840 --> 00:23:20.360
 justified

00:23:20.360 --> 00:23:21.460
 before God.

00:23:23.740 --> 00:23:24.539
 I want you

00:23:24.539 --> 00:23:24.960
 to see here

00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:25.799
 what he does.

00:23:26.600 --> 00:23:27.120
 Look again

00:23:27.120 --> 00:23:28.160
 at verse 47

00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:28.660
 he began

00:23:28.660 --> 00:23:29.720
 to cry out

00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:32.259
 Jesus

00:23:32.259 --> 00:23:34.000
 thou son

00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:34.500
 of David

00:23:34.500 --> 00:23:35.079
 have what

00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:35.600
 mercy

00:23:35.600 --> 00:23:36.519
 on me.

00:23:38.980 --> 00:23:39.980
 Have mercy

00:23:39.980 --> 00:23:40.779
 on me.

00:23:40.779 --> 00:23:44.059
 mercy

00:23:44.059 --> 00:23:44.519
 from the

00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:45.480
 only one

00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:46.639
 that could

00:23:46.639 --> 00:23:47.180
 fulfill

00:23:47.180 --> 00:23:47.559
 what was

00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:47.839
 truly

00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:48.240
 needed.

00:23:49.299 --> 00:23:49.799
 Here's a

00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:50.819
 blind man

00:23:50.819 --> 00:23:51.279
 but had

00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:51.759
 great

00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:52.399
 spiritual

00:23:52.399 --> 00:23:52.920
 sight.

00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:54.420
 He

00:23:54.420 --> 00:23:54.940
 understood

00:23:54.940 --> 00:23:55.859
 his eyes

00:23:55.859 --> 00:23:56.359
 were open

00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:56.700
 to who

00:23:56.700 --> 00:23:57.180
 Jesus

00:23:57.180 --> 00:23:57.839
 is

00:23:57.839 --> 00:23:58.619
 and he

00:23:58.619 --> 00:23:58.839
 knew

00:23:58.839 --> 00:23:59.200
 he needed

00:23:59.200 --> 00:23:59.619
 to come

00:23:59.619 --> 00:24:00.099
 to him

00:24:00.099 --> 00:24:00.799
 but we

00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:01.259
 find a

00:24:01.259 --> 00:24:01.480
 great

00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:02.059
 contrast

00:24:02.059 --> 00:24:02.660
 here

00:24:02.660 --> 00:24:03.519
 happening

00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:03.960
 along

00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:04.440
 the way

00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:04.899
 because

00:24:04.899 --> 00:24:05.799
 the crowd

00:24:05.799 --> 00:24:06.139
 that was

00:24:06.139 --> 00:24:06.579
 traveling

00:24:06.579 --> 00:24:06.899
 with

00:24:06.899 --> 00:24:07.379
 Jesus

00:24:07.379 --> 00:24:07.699
 was

00:24:07.699 --> 00:24:08.299
 eagerly

00:24:08.299 --> 00:24:09.519
 listening

00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:09.899
 to his

00:24:09.899 --> 00:24:10.399
 teaching

00:24:10.399 --> 00:24:11.899
 as he

00:24:11.899 --> 00:24:12.099
 was

00:24:12.099 --> 00:24:12.559
 passing

00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:13.119
 by

00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:13.960
 these

00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:14.579
 beggars

00:24:14.579 --> 00:24:15.679
 and notice

00:24:15.679 --> 00:24:16.079
 what they

00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:16.500
 said in

00:24:16.500 --> 00:24:17.319
 verse 48

00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:18.059
 and many

00:24:18.059 --> 00:24:18.859
 charged him

00:24:18.859 --> 00:24:19.220
 that he

00:24:19.220 --> 00:24:19.779
 should hold

00:24:19.779 --> 00:24:20.439
 his peace

00:24:20.439 --> 00:24:24.480

00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:24.899
 lot going

00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:29.619
 by the

00:24:29.619 --> 00:24:29.799
 way

00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:30.079
 and we've

00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:30.259
 already

00:24:30.259 --> 00:24:30.919
 talked about

00:24:30.919 --> 00:24:31.460
 this earlier

00:24:31.460 --> 00:24:32.000
 here he is

00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:32.299
 with his

00:24:32.299 --> 00:24:32.839
 disciples

00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:34.000
 as he's

00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:34.419
 going

00:24:34.419 --> 00:24:34.980
 you find

00:24:34.980 --> 00:24:35.259
 he's

00:24:35.259 --> 00:24:35.759
 teaching

00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:36.440
 he's

00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:36.640
 still

00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:37.140
 declaring

00:24:37.140 --> 00:24:37.579
 things

00:24:37.579 --> 00:24:37.819
 and the

00:24:37.819 --> 00:24:38.279
 disciples

00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:38.700
 are like

00:24:38.700 --> 00:24:39.000
 hey

00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:39.680
 I want

00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:39.920
 to hear

00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:40.140
 what

00:24:40.140 --> 00:24:40.519
 Jesus

00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:40.819
 is

00:24:40.819 --> 00:24:41.220
 saying

00:24:41.220 --> 00:24:47.720
 in

00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:48.099
 other words

00:24:48.099 --> 00:24:48.740
 they basically

00:24:48.740 --> 00:24:49.460
 said hey

00:24:49.460 --> 00:24:50.339
 hold it

00:24:50.339 --> 00:24:50.960
 down over

00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:51.259
 there

00:24:51.259 --> 00:24:51.559
 you're

00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:52.140
 distracting

00:24:52.140 --> 00:24:52.819
 me

00:24:52.819 --> 00:24:58.259
 but you

00:24:58.259 --> 00:24:58.480
 know the

00:24:58.480 --> 00:24:58.920
 problem is

00:24:58.920 --> 00:24:59.500
 sometimes we

00:24:59.500 --> 00:24:59.779
 can be

00:24:59.779 --> 00:25:00.240
 guilty of

00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:00.660
 the same

00:25:00.660 --> 00:25:03.400
 let me

00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:03.799
 put it to

00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:04.039
 you in a

00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:04.140
 little

00:25:04.140 --> 00:25:04.500
 different

00:25:04.500 --> 00:25:04.740
 way

00:25:04.740 --> 00:25:05.039
 really

00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:05.400
 what they

00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:05.880
 were saying

00:25:05.880 --> 00:25:06.500
 don't bother

00:25:06.500 --> 00:25:06.960
 me I'm

00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:07.180
 being

00:25:07.180 --> 00:25:07.920
 spiritual

00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:14.200
 but didn't

00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:14.600
 see the

00:25:14.600 --> 00:25:15.060
 need that

00:25:15.060 --> 00:25:15.480
 was really

00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:15.920
 there

00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:19.660
 it's not

00:25:19.660 --> 00:25:19.920
 that they

00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:20.340
 were doing

00:25:20.340 --> 00:25:21.380
 something wrong

00:25:21.380 --> 00:25:21.820
 they just

00:25:21.820 --> 00:25:22.320
 weren't seeing

00:25:22.320 --> 00:25:22.720
 the right

00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:23.180
 thing

00:25:23.180 --> 00:25:25.860
 because there's

00:25:25.860 --> 00:25:26.560
 nothing better

00:25:26.560 --> 00:25:27.620
 you can do

00:25:27.620 --> 00:25:28.400
 in reality

00:25:28.400 --> 00:25:28.840
 than to

00:25:28.840 --> 00:25:29.360
 listen to

00:25:29.360 --> 00:25:29.880
 Jesus

00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:32.140
 but you

00:25:32.140 --> 00:25:32.519
 don't need to

00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:33.080
 lose sight

00:25:33.080 --> 00:25:33.340
 of who

00:25:33.340 --> 00:25:33.600
 Jesus

00:25:33.600 --> 00:25:33.860
 remember

00:25:33.860 --> 00:25:34.220
 Jesus

00:25:34.220 --> 00:25:34.700
 just said

00:25:34.700 --> 00:25:35.059
 I came

00:25:35.059 --> 00:25:35.360
 not to

00:25:35.360 --> 00:25:35.500
 be

00:25:35.500 --> 00:25:35.940
 ministered

00:25:35.940 --> 00:25:36.079
 unto

00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:36.460
 but to

00:25:36.460 --> 00:25:36.900
 minister

00:25:36.900 --> 00:25:38.799
 and to

00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:39.100
 give my

00:25:39.100 --> 00:25:39.680
 life a

00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:40.059
 ransom

00:25:40.059 --> 00:25:40.759
 for many

00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:44.559
 they just

00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:45.059
 heard the

00:25:45.059 --> 00:25:45.980
 reality of

00:25:45.980 --> 00:25:46.500
 that to be

00:25:46.500 --> 00:25:47.000
 that they

00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:47.279
 were to

00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:47.819
 minister

00:25:47.819 --> 00:25:48.380
 and not

00:25:48.380 --> 00:25:49.180
 not to be

00:25:49.180 --> 00:25:49.839
 served

00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:50.420
 you know

00:25:50.420 --> 00:25:51.220
 oftentimes we

00:25:51.220 --> 00:25:51.799
 look at this

00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:52.160
 and need to

00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:52.799
 understand this

00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:53.360
 crowd the

00:25:53.360 --> 00:25:53.940
 problem was

00:25:53.940 --> 00:25:54.339
 they still

00:25:54.339 --> 00:25:54.900
 wanted something

00:25:54.900 --> 00:25:55.579
 for them

00:25:55.579 --> 00:25:57.079
 they missed

00:25:57.079 --> 00:25:57.680
 what Jesus

00:25:57.680 --> 00:25:58.079
 had just

00:25:58.079 --> 00:25:58.420
 told them

00:25:58.420 --> 00:25:58.680
 hey I

00:25:58.680 --> 00:25:59.220
 came not

 to be

00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:00.339
 ministered

00:26:00.339 --> 00:26:00.579
 unto

00:26:00.579 --> 00:26:01.000
 but to

00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:01.460
 minister

00:26:01.460 --> 00:26:03.579
 here's

00:26:03.579 --> 00:26:04.100
 this man

00:26:04.100 --> 00:26:05.140
 crying out

00:26:05.140 --> 00:26:07.160
 have mercy

00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:08.180
 on me

00:26:08.180 --> 00:26:12.940
 Bartimaeus

00:26:12.940 --> 00:26:13.480
 knew that

00:26:13.480 --> 00:26:13.920
 his only

00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:14.460
 hope was

00:26:14.460 --> 00:26:14.940
 to cry

00:26:14.940 --> 00:26:15.279
 to the

00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:15.640
 savior

00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:17.180
 you know

00:26:17.180 --> 00:26:17.660
 a cry

00:26:17.660 --> 00:26:17.980
 that had

00:26:17.980 --> 00:26:18.539
 been heard

00:26:18.539 --> 00:26:19.160
 before

00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:21.220
 a cry

00:26:21.220 --> 00:26:21.759
 that God

00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:22.299
 always

00:26:22.299 --> 00:26:22.700
 listens

00:26:22.700 --> 00:26:23.019
 to

00:26:23.019 --> 00:26:25.559
 look over

00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:25.840
 to Luke

00:26:25.840 --> 00:26:26.559
 chapter 18

00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:26.920
 for a

00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:27.160
 moment

00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:39.700
 because I

00:26:39.700 --> 00:26:40.040
 want you to

00:26:40.040 --> 00:26:40.360
 see the

00:26:40.360 --> 00:26:40.940
 contrast

00:26:40.940 --> 00:26:41.519
 between the

00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:42.040
 crowd

00:26:42.040 --> 00:26:43.580
 and

00:26:43.580 --> 00:26:44.259
 Bartimaeus

00:26:44.259 --> 00:26:45.019
 because notice

00:26:45.019 --> 00:26:45.400
 he says

00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:46.060
 but he cried

00:26:46.060 --> 00:26:46.519
 the more

00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:47.320
 a great deal

00:26:47.320 --> 00:26:48.140
 thou son

00:26:48.140 --> 00:26:48.620
 of David

00:26:48.620 --> 00:26:48.920
 and here

00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:49.140
 he is

00:26:49.140 --> 00:26:49.779
 have mercy

00:26:49.779 --> 00:26:50.259
 on me

00:26:50.259 --> 00:26:50.700
 but Luke

00:26:50.700 --> 00:26:51.460
 chapter 18

00:26:51.460 --> 00:26:52.700
 we find

00:26:52.700 --> 00:26:53.140
 here and it

00:26:53.140 --> 00:26:53.740
 says Jesus

00:26:53.740 --> 00:26:54.460
 here speaking

00:26:54.460 --> 00:26:55.080
 a parable

00:26:55.080 --> 00:26:55.860
 this would

00:26:55.860 --> 00:26:56.100
 have been

00:26:56.100 --> 00:26:56.560
 some of the

00:26:56.559 --> 00:26:57.099
 teaching they

00:26:57.099 --> 00:26:57.539
 were getting

00:26:57.539 --> 00:26:58.159
 along the

00:26:58.159 --> 00:26:58.500
 road

00:26:58.500 --> 00:27:00.559
 if you go

00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:01.139
 back and look

00:27:01.139 --> 00:27:01.359
 at the

00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:01.940
 timeline

00:27:01.940 --> 00:27:03.079
 this came

00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:03.399
 in that

00:27:03.399 --> 00:27:04.379
 same sequence

00:27:04.379 --> 00:27:05.039
 right before

00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:05.779
 this happened

00:27:05.779 --> 00:27:07.259
 Jesus is

00:27:07.259 --> 00:27:07.799
 telling them

00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:08.460
 an example

00:27:08.460 --> 00:27:09.119
 and he says

00:27:09.119 --> 00:27:09.500
 this

00:27:09.500 --> 00:27:10.440
 and he spake

00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:11.099
 this parable

00:27:11.099 --> 00:27:11.779
 unto certain

00:27:11.779 --> 00:27:12.460
 which trusted

00:27:12.460 --> 00:27:13.059
 in themselves

00:27:13.059 --> 00:27:14.159
 that they

00:27:14.159 --> 00:27:14.799
 were righteous

00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:15.740
 and despised

00:27:15.740 --> 00:27:16.220
 others

00:27:16.220 --> 00:27:17.700
 two men

00:27:17.700 --> 00:27:18.099
 went up

00:27:18.099 --> 00:27:18.399
 into the

00:27:18.399 --> 00:27:18.619
 temple

00:27:18.619 --> 00:27:19.119
 to pray

00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:19.539
 and one

00:27:19.539 --> 00:27:20.159
 a Pharisee

00:27:20.159 --> 00:27:20.339
 and the

00:27:20.339 --> 00:27:20.639
 other a

00:27:20.639 --> 00:27:20.960
 Republican

00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:22.440
 you know

00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:23.119
 I want you

00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:23.659
 to see here

00:27:23.659 --> 00:27:24.240
 and understand

00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:24.879
 that Jesus

00:27:24.879 --> 00:27:25.500
 is describing

00:27:25.500 --> 00:27:26.139
 two people

00:27:26.140 --> 00:27:27.840
 one went

00:27:27.840 --> 00:27:28.300
 up into

00:27:28.300 --> 00:27:28.540
 there

00:27:28.540 --> 00:27:28.800
 and he

00:27:28.800 --> 00:27:29.160
 stood

00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:29.640
 and prayed

00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:30.220
 thus with

00:27:30.220 --> 00:27:30.720
 himself

00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:32.080
 the Pharisee

00:27:32.080 --> 00:27:33.259
 we don't have

00:27:33.259 --> 00:27:33.820
 time to break

00:27:33.820 --> 00:27:34.240
 down that

00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:34.920
 passage this

00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:35.160
 morning

00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:35.540
 but you know

00:27:35.540 --> 00:27:35.960
 oftentimes

00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:36.660
 we can be

00:27:36.660 --> 00:27:37.120
 praying with

00:27:37.120 --> 00:27:37.620
 ourselves

00:27:37.620 --> 00:27:40.920
 because the

00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:41.440
 focus is

00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:41.860
 us

00:27:41.860 --> 00:27:46.140
 I want you

00:27:46.140 --> 00:27:46.560
 to see a

00:27:46.560 --> 00:27:47.280
 difference here

00:27:47.280 --> 00:27:48.980
 down in

00:27:48.980 --> 00:27:49.680
 verse 13

00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:50.040
 there in

00:27:50.040 --> 00:27:50.500
 Luke chapter

00:27:50.500 --> 00:27:50.840
 18

00:27:50.839 --> 00:27:51.220
 and the

00:27:51.220 --> 00:27:51.759
 publican

00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:52.139
 standing

00:27:52.139 --> 00:27:53.039
 far off

00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:54.539
 would not

00:27:54.539 --> 00:27:55.099
 lift so much

00:27:55.099 --> 00:27:55.819
 as his eyes

00:27:55.819 --> 00:27:56.399
 into heaven

00:27:56.399 --> 00:27:57.000
 but smote

00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:57.480
 upon his

00:27:57.480 --> 00:27:57.799
 breast

00:27:57.799 --> 00:27:58.079
 saying

00:27:58.079 --> 00:27:58.980
 notice this

00:27:58.980 --> 00:28:00.379
 God be

00:28:00.379 --> 00:28:01.439
 merciful unto

00:28:01.439 --> 00:28:01.919
 me

00:28:01.919 --> 00:28:02.879
 a sinner

00:28:02.879 --> 00:28:05.559
 be merciful

00:28:05.559 --> 00:28:06.419
 unto me

00:28:06.419 --> 00:28:09.980
 and Jesus

00:28:09.980 --> 00:28:10.500
 makes a

00:28:10.500 --> 00:28:11.039
 declarative

00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:11.480
 statement

00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:11.819
 here

00:28:11.819 --> 00:28:12.139
 he says

00:28:12.139 --> 00:28:12.639
 I tell

00:28:12.639 --> 00:28:12.980
 you

00:28:12.980 --> 00:28:13.959
 this man

00:28:13.959 --> 00:28:14.500
 went down

00:28:14.500 --> 00:28:14.859
 to his

00:28:14.859 --> 00:28:15.139
 house

00:28:15.139 --> 00:28:15.779
 justified

00:28:15.779 --> 00:28:16.519
 rather than

00:28:16.519 --> 00:28:16.919
 the other

00:28:16.920 --> 00:28:19.620
 that's a

00:28:19.620 --> 00:28:19.960
 powerful

00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:20.740
 reality

00:28:20.740 --> 00:28:22.960
 that when

00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:23.580
 we focus

00:28:23.580 --> 00:28:24.240
 in reality

00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:24.539
 of who

00:28:24.539 --> 00:28:24.720
 we're

00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:25.060
 calling

00:28:25.060 --> 00:28:25.539
 upon

00:28:25.539 --> 00:28:26.660
 because

00:28:26.660 --> 00:28:27.120
 everybody

00:28:27.120 --> 00:28:27.580
 has to

00:28:27.580 --> 00:28:27.860
 have a

00:28:27.860 --> 00:28:28.120
 moment

00:28:28.120 --> 00:28:28.560
 in time

00:28:28.560 --> 00:28:29.000
 when you've

00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:29.279
 called

00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:29.700
 upon

00:28:29.700 --> 00:28:30.180
 the

00:28:30.180 --> 00:28:30.600
 Savior

00:28:30.600 --> 00:28:30.940
 to have

00:28:30.940 --> 00:28:31.420
 mercy

00:28:31.420 --> 00:28:31.880
 upon

00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:32.240
 you

00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:32.480
 a

00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:32.740
 sinner

00:28:32.740 --> 00:28:34.700
 one

00:28:34.700 --> 00:28:34.900
 that

00:28:34.900 --> 00:28:35.220
 needs

00:28:35.220 --> 00:28:35.400
 a

00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:35.800
 Savior

00:28:35.800 --> 00:28:40.180
 that

00:28:40.180 --> 00:28:40.620
 same

00:28:40.620 --> 00:28:41.200
 little

00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:41.640
 prayer

00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:41.900
 that

00:28:41.900 --> 00:28:42.140
 makes

00:28:42.140 --> 00:28:42.300
 a

00:28:42.300 --> 00:28:42.860
 difference

00:28:42.860 --> 00:28:44.880
 said

00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:45.080
 have

00:28:45.080 --> 00:28:45.640
 mercy

00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:46.080
 upon

00:28:46.080 --> 00:28:46.420
 me

00:28:46.420 --> 00:28:47.039
 he knew

00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:47.380
 he was

00:28:47.380 --> 00:28:47.779
 the one

00:28:47.779 --> 00:28:48.140
 who had

00:28:48.140 --> 00:28:48.620
 the power

00:28:48.620 --> 00:28:49.039
 to give

00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:49.460
 mercy

00:28:49.460 --> 00:28:50.160
 the one

00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:50.380
 that he

00:28:50.380 --> 00:28:50.560
 was

00:28:50.560 --> 00:28:51.039
 accounted

00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:51.539
 to

00:28:51.539 --> 00:28:52.779
 when you

00:28:52.779 --> 00:28:53.380
 call upon

00:28:53.380 --> 00:28:54.019
 him to be

00:28:54.019 --> 00:28:54.560
 merciful

00:28:54.560 --> 00:28:55.700
 unto you

00:28:55.700 --> 00:28:56.360
 it works

00:28:56.360 --> 00:28:57.080
 it works

00:28:57.080 --> 00:28:57.259
 for

00:28:57.259 --> 00:28:57.920
 Bartimaeus

00:28:57.920 --> 00:28:58.279
 it worked

00:28:58.279 --> 00:28:58.580
 for the

00:28:58.580 --> 00:28:59.160
 publican

00:28:59.160 --> 00:28:59.960
 it'll work

00:28:59.960 --> 00:29:00.700
 for you

00:29:00.700 --> 00:29:02.259
 Jesus

00:29:02.259 --> 00:29:02.860
 will hear

00:29:02.860 --> 00:29:03.680
 your cry

00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:05.880
 and trust

00:29:05.880 --> 00:29:06.240
 there have

00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:06.740
 been a time

00:29:06.740 --> 00:29:07.200
 I trust

00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:07.460
 there's been

00:29:07.460 --> 00:29:07.960
 a time

00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:08.620
 and a place

00:29:08.620 --> 00:29:09.320
 that you

00:29:09.320 --> 00:29:09.800
 have cried

00:29:09.800 --> 00:29:10.240
 out to

00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:10.519
 God

00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:11.180
 for mercy

00:29:11.180 --> 00:29:11.920
 for you

00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:17.000
 because it

00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:17.320
 doesn't

00:29:17.320 --> 00:29:17.720
 happen

00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:18.360
 over time

00:29:18.360 --> 00:29:18.700
 that's

00:29:18.700 --> 00:29:19.460
 sanctification

00:29:19.460 --> 00:29:19.880
 after

00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:20.560
 salvation

00:29:20.560 --> 00:29:23.420
 salvation

00:29:23.420 --> 00:29:24.320
 happens in

00:29:24.320 --> 00:29:24.880
 an instant

00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:26.900
 it's

00:29:26.900 --> 00:29:27.340
 immediate

00:29:27.340 --> 00:29:32.380
 because you

00:29:32.380 --> 00:29:33.120
 either are

00:29:33.120 --> 00:29:33.600
 or you're

00:29:33.600 --> 00:29:34.000
 not

00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:35.920
 the reality

00:29:35.920 --> 00:29:36.680
 is clear

00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:37.360
 you know

00:29:37.360 --> 00:29:37.920
 John and

00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:38.580
 his gospel

00:29:38.580 --> 00:29:39.060
 in John

00:29:39.060 --> 00:29:39.920
 chapter 3

00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:40.600
 you know

00:29:40.600 --> 00:29:41.000
 we know

00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:41.600
 John 3

00:29:41.600 --> 00:29:42.060
 16

00:29:42.060 --> 00:29:42.500
 but you

00:29:42.500 --> 00:29:42.580
 know

00:29:42.580 --> 00:29:42.800
 that's

00:29:42.800 --> 00:29:42.940
 just

00:29:42.940 --> 00:29:43.279
 part

00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:43.480
 of the

00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:43.940
 reality

00:29:43.940 --> 00:29:44.380
 of that

00:29:44.380 --> 00:29:44.800
 chapter

00:29:44.800 --> 00:29:47.380
 there's

00:29:47.380 --> 00:29:47.560
 some

00:29:47.560 --> 00:29:48.080
 powerful

00:29:48.080 --> 00:29:48.560
 verses

00:29:48.560 --> 00:29:48.840
 that

00:29:48.840 --> 00:29:49.240
 follow

00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:51.259
 some

00:29:51.259 --> 00:29:51.519
 very

00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:52.080
 powerful

00:29:52.080 --> 00:29:52.880
 realities

00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:53.360
 to let

00:29:53.360 --> 00:29:53.560
 us

00:29:53.560 --> 00:29:54.000
 see

00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:54.620
 where

00:29:54.620 --> 00:29:54.840
 we

00:29:54.840 --> 00:29:55.140
 really

00:29:55.140 --> 00:29:55.600
 are

00:29:55.600 --> 00:29:55.980
 and

00:29:55.980 --> 00:29:56.140
 who

00:29:56.140 --> 00:29:56.300
 he

00:29:56.300 --> 00:29:56.600
 really

00:29:56.600 --> 00:29:57.220
 is

00:29:57.220 --> 00:29:58.660
 here

00:29:58.660 --> 00:29:58.820
 in

00:29:58.820 --> 00:29:59.080
 verse

00:29:59.080 --> 00:29:59.580
 18

00:29:59.580 --> 00:29:59.980
 it says

00:29:59.980 --> 00:30:00.300
 he that

00:30:00.300 --> 00:30:00.740
 believeth

00:30:00.740 --> 00:30:01.300
 on him

00:30:01.300 --> 00:30:02.560
 is not

00:30:02.560 --> 00:30:03.000
 condemned

00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:03.920
 but he

00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:04.080
 that

00:30:04.080 --> 00:30:04.519
 believeth

00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:04.880
 not

00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:05.120
 is

00:30:05.120 --> 00:30:05.560
 condemned

00:30:05.560 --> 00:30:06.100
 already

00:30:06.100 --> 00:30:07.660
 I want

00:30:07.660 --> 00:30:07.800
 you to

00:30:07.800 --> 00:30:08.160
 understand

00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:08.460
 when you

00:30:08.460 --> 00:30:08.940
 cry out

00:30:08.940 --> 00:30:09.380
 for him

00:30:09.380 --> 00:30:09.980
 for mercy

00:30:09.980 --> 00:30:10.260
 you're

00:30:10.260 --> 00:30:10.480
 saying

00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:11.200
 I know

00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:11.760
 I'm

00:30:11.760 --> 00:30:12.000
 under

00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:12.200
 the

00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:12.940
 condemnation

00:30:12.940 --> 00:30:13.280
 because

00:30:13.280 --> 00:30:13.840
 of my

00:30:13.840 --> 00:30:14.340
 sin

00:30:14.340 --> 00:30:15.120
 my

00:30:15.120 --> 00:30:16.200
 responsibility

00:30:16.200 --> 00:30:18.080
 it

00:30:18.080 --> 00:30:18.260
 tells

00:30:18.260 --> 00:30:18.520
 because

00:30:18.520 --> 00:30:18.900
 he hath

00:30:18.900 --> 00:30:19.140
 not

00:30:19.140 --> 00:30:19.580
 believed

00:30:19.580 --> 00:30:19.840
 in the

00:30:19.840 --> 00:30:20.080
 name

00:30:20.080 --> 00:30:20.320
 of the

00:30:20.320 --> 00:30:20.640
 only

00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:21.200
 begotten

00:30:21.500 --> 00:30:21.660

00:30:21.660 --> 00:30:22.180

00:30:22.180 --> 00:30:24.820

00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:30.860
 believeth

00:30:30.860 --> 00:30:31.200

 the

00:30:31.400 --> 00:30:31.600
 son

00:30:31.600 --> 00:30:31.800
 shall

 not

00:30:32.040 --> 00:30:32.340
 see

00:30:32.340 --> 00:30:32.720
 life

00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:33.160
 but

00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:33.380
 the

00:30:33.380 --> 00:30:33.760
 wrath

00:30:33.760 --> 00:30:33.960
 of

00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:34.340
 God

00:30:34.340 --> 00:30:35.020
 abideth

00:30:35.020 --> 00:30:35.320
 on

00:30:35.320 --> 00:30:35.740
 him

00:30:35.740 --> 00:30:40.339
 spiritual

00:30:40.339 --> 00:30:40.960
 blindness

00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:41.420
 says

00:30:41.420 --> 00:30:41.700
 I'm

00:30:41.700 --> 00:30:42.180
 okay

00:30:42.180 --> 00:30:46.160
 spiritual

00:30:46.160 --> 00:30:46.660
 sight

00:30:46.660 --> 00:30:46.960
 says

00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:47.120
 I

00:30:47.120 --> 00:30:47.579
 understand

00:30:47.579 --> 00:30:47.799
 who

00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:47.980
 I

00:30:47.980 --> 00:30:48.240
 am

00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:48.539
 before

00:30:48.539 --> 00:30:48.980
 God

00:30:48.980 --> 00:30:51.319
 I

00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:51.819
 understand

00:30:51.819 --> 00:30:52.259
 my

00:30:52.259 --> 00:30:53.140
 responsibility

00:30:53.140 --> 00:30:54.460
 and my

00:30:54.460 --> 00:30:55.100
 accountability

00:30:55.100 --> 00:30:59.380
 you know

00:30:59.380 --> 00:30:59.720
 one of the

00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:00.160
 challenges

00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:00.820
 today is

00:31:00.820 --> 00:31:01.220
 for people

00:31:01.220 --> 00:31:01.620
 in our

00:31:01.620 --> 00:31:02.220
 generation

00:31:02.220 --> 00:31:02.960
 they don't

00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:03.220
 like

00:31:03.220 --> 00:31:03.720
 accountability

00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:06.460
 I want

00:31:06.460 --> 00:31:06.720
 to be able

00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:06.940
 to do

00:31:06.940 --> 00:31:07.320
 what I

00:31:07.320 --> 00:31:07.540
 want

00:31:07.540 --> 00:31:07.900
 when I

00:31:07.900 --> 00:31:08.140
 want

00:31:08.140 --> 00:31:08.540
 how I

00:31:08.540 --> 00:31:08.860
 want

00:31:08.860 --> 00:31:09.420
 whenever

00:31:09.420 --> 00:31:09.660
 I

00:31:09.660 --> 00:31:10.020
 want

00:31:10.020 --> 00:31:13.420
 but I

00:31:13.420 --> 00:31:13.720
 want you

00:31:13.720 --> 00:31:14.460
 to understand

00:31:14.460 --> 00:31:15.120
 when Jesus

00:31:15.120 --> 00:31:15.960
 says he

00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:16.480
 sets you

00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:16.960
 free

00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:17.700
 freedom

00:31:17.700 --> 00:31:17.940
 and

00:31:17.940 --> 00:31:18.620
 responsibility

00:31:18.620 --> 00:31:19.420
 always

00:31:19.420 --> 00:31:19.720
 come

00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:20.100
 together

00:31:20.100 --> 00:31:22.300
 because you

00:31:22.300 --> 00:31:22.800
 cannot be

00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:23.099
 free

00:31:23.099 --> 00:31:23.399
 without

00:31:23.399 --> 00:31:23.659
 being

00:31:23.659 --> 00:31:24.339
 responsible

00:31:24.339 --> 00:31:29.119
 and we're

00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:29.319
 going to

00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:29.779
 see that

00:31:29.779 --> 00:31:30.299
 even laid

00:31:30.299 --> 00:31:30.859
 out here

00:31:30.859 --> 00:31:31.440
 this

00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:31.819
 morning

00:31:31.819 --> 00:31:34.279
 because if

00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:34.700
 you call

00:31:34.700 --> 00:31:35.200
 upon the

00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:35.480
 Savior

00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:35.779
 I want

00:31:35.779 --> 00:31:36.000
 to give

00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:36.200
 you a

00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:36.339
 little

00:31:36.339 --> 00:31:36.759
 insight

00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:36.940
 he

00:31:36.940 --> 00:31:37.440
 promised

00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:37.779
 to do

00:31:37.779 --> 00:31:38.200
 the same

00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:38.539
 thing he

00:31:38.539 --> 00:31:38.819
 did for

00:31:38.819 --> 00:31:39.339
 Bartimaeus

00:31:39.339 --> 00:31:40.099
 same thing

00:31:40.099 --> 00:31:40.440
 he did

00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:40.740
 for the

00:31:40.740 --> 00:31:41.200
 publican

00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:41.799
 the same

00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:42.159
 thing he

00:31:42.159 --> 00:31:42.579
 did for

00:31:42.579 --> 00:31:42.899
 me

00:31:42.899 --> 00:31:43.559
 that day

00:31:43.559 --> 00:31:44.119
 many years

00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:44.379
 ago

00:31:44.379 --> 00:31:44.799
 and hopefully

00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:45.180
 you can

00:31:45.180 --> 00:31:45.599
 look back

00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:45.879
 and say

00:31:45.879 --> 00:31:46.259
 I know

00:31:46.259 --> 00:31:46.779
 the day

00:31:46.779 --> 00:31:47.339
 I know

00:31:47.339 --> 00:31:47.899
 the time

00:31:47.899 --> 00:31:48.180
 that it

00:31:48.180 --> 00:31:48.419
 happened

00:31:48.419 --> 00:31:48.940
 to me

00:31:48.940 --> 00:31:51.059
 where he

00:31:51.059 --> 00:31:51.599
 had mercy

00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:52.379
 upon me

00:31:52.380 --> 00:31:57.820
 because

00:31:57.820 --> 00:31:58.360
 take a look

00:31:58.360 --> 00:31:58.740
 here this

00:31:58.740 --> 00:31:59.040
 morning

00:31:59.040 --> 00:31:59.460
 with me

00:31:59.460 --> 00:31:59.880
 back to

00:31:59.880 --> 00:32:00.280
 the text

00:32:00.280 --> 00:32:00.420
 here

00:32:00.420 --> 00:32:00.700
 look at

00:32:00.700 --> 00:32:01.600
 verse 49

00:32:01.600 --> 00:32:02.840
 it says

00:32:02.840 --> 00:32:03.700
 Jesus stood

00:32:03.700 --> 00:32:04.300
 still and

00:32:04.300 --> 00:32:05.000
 commanded him

00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:05.720
 to be called

00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:06.760
 and they

00:32:06.760 --> 00:32:07.280
 called the

00:32:07.280 --> 00:32:07.800
 blind man

00:32:07.800 --> 00:32:08.280
 saying unto

00:32:08.280 --> 00:32:08.500
 him

00:32:08.500 --> 00:32:08.980
 notice this

00:32:08.980 --> 00:32:09.580
 be of good

00:32:09.580 --> 00:32:10.020
 comfort

00:32:10.020 --> 00:32:10.600
 rise

00:32:10.600 --> 00:32:11.260
 he calleth

00:32:11.260 --> 00:32:11.540
 thee

00:32:11.540 --> 00:32:14.520
 the comfort

00:32:14.520 --> 00:32:15.220
 that Jesus

00:32:15.220 --> 00:32:15.920
 brings

00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:16.940
 because I

00:32:16.940 --> 00:32:17.340
 want you to

00:32:17.340 --> 00:32:17.720
 see here

00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:18.080
 that it

00:32:18.080 --> 00:32:18.520
 stopped

00:32:18.520 --> 00:32:19.000
 Jesus

00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:19.480
 in his

00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:19.880
 tracks

00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:20.160
 when he

00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:20.480
 heard the

00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:20.800
 cry

00:32:20.800 --> 00:32:21.400
 for mercy

00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:25.880
 you know

00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:26.160
 I'll tell

00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:26.480
 you what

00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:27.060
 that shows

00:32:27.060 --> 00:32:27.540
 something of

00:32:27.540 --> 00:32:28.000
 God's

00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:28.660
 priority

00:32:28.660 --> 00:32:29.180
 to a

00:32:29.180 --> 00:32:29.420
 sinner

00:32:29.420 --> 00:32:29.980
 who cries

00:32:29.980 --> 00:32:30.320
 out

00:32:30.320 --> 00:32:35.240
 everything

00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:35.759
 he was

00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:36.080
 doing

00:32:36.080 --> 00:32:36.980
 it's not

00:32:36.980 --> 00:32:37.340
 that what

00:32:37.340 --> 00:32:37.660
 he was

00:32:37.660 --> 00:32:37.880
 doing

00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:38.400
 was not

00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:38.900
 important

00:32:38.900 --> 00:32:40.580
 I think

00:32:40.580 --> 00:32:40.940
 anything

00:32:40.940 --> 00:32:41.360
 Jesus

00:32:41.360 --> 00:32:41.759
 taught

00:32:41.759 --> 00:32:42.320
 was greatly

00:32:42.320 --> 00:32:42.880
 important

00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:45.660
 but when

00:32:45.660 --> 00:32:45.980
 he's in

00:32:45.980 --> 00:32:46.280
 the middle

00:32:46.280 --> 00:32:46.780
 of teaching

00:32:46.780 --> 00:32:47.160
 something

00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:47.680
 important

00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:47.920
 and he

00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:48.320
 hears a

00:32:48.320 --> 00:32:48.900
 cry of a

00:32:48.900 --> 00:32:49.100
 sinner

00:32:49.100 --> 00:32:49.640
 and stops

00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:50.060
 that tells

00:32:50.060 --> 00:32:50.200
 us

00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:50.940
 there's

00:32:50.940 --> 00:32:51.200
 something

00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:51.480
 even

00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:51.840
 greater

00:32:51.840 --> 00:32:52.320
 importance

00:32:52.320 --> 00:32:52.600
 taking

00:32:52.600 --> 00:32:53.100
 place

00:32:53.100 --> 00:32:54.980
 because

00:32:54.980 --> 00:32:55.380
 one

00:32:55.380 --> 00:32:55.520
 that

00:32:55.520 --> 00:32:55.680
 is

00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:56.220
 lost

00:32:56.220 --> 00:32:56.420
 is

00:32:56.420 --> 00:32:56.640
 now

00:32:56.640 --> 00:32:57.300
 understanding

00:32:57.300 --> 00:32:57.960
 the reality

00:32:57.960 --> 00:32:58.480
 of a

00:32:58.480 --> 00:32:58.840
 Christ

00:32:58.840 --> 00:32:59.520
 who has

00:32:59.520 --> 00:32:59.960
 come to

00:32:59.960 --> 00:33:00.259
 save

00:33:00.259 --> 00:33:00.700
 them

00:33:00.700 --> 00:33:02.759
 he says

00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:03.000
 him to

00:33:03.000 --> 00:33:03.180
 have

00:33:03.180 --> 00:33:03.759
 comfort

00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:04.500
 that word

00:33:04.500 --> 00:33:04.900
 comfort

00:33:04.900 --> 00:33:05.280
 there is

00:33:05.280 --> 00:33:05.540
 to have

00:33:05.540 --> 00:33:06.080
 courage

00:33:06.080 --> 00:33:06.820
 be of

00:33:06.820 --> 00:33:07.080
 good

00:33:07.080 --> 00:33:07.580
 cheer

00:33:07.580 --> 00:33:08.480
 to come

00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:08.720
 have

00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:09.160
 comfort

00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:10.060
 be encouraged

00:33:10.060 --> 00:33:10.620
 in the

00:33:10.620 --> 00:33:11.100
 reality

00:33:11.100 --> 00:33:11.380
 the

00:33:11.380 --> 00:33:11.940
 Savior's

00:33:11.940 --> 00:33:12.759
 responding

00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:14.680
 Bartimaeus

00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:15.160
 quickly

00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:15.400
 and

00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:16.119
 courageously

00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:16.500
 does

00:33:16.500 --> 00:33:17.059
 something

00:33:17.059 --> 00:33:19.119
 I think

00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:19.660
 is important

00:33:19.660 --> 00:33:20.000
 today

00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:20.660
 that sometimes

00:33:20.660 --> 00:33:21.279
 gets missed

00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:21.619
 look at

00:33:21.619 --> 00:33:22.319
 verse 50

00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:23.640
 it says

00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:23.920
 this

00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:24.200
 and he

00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:24.839
 cast

00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:25.779
 away

00:33:25.779 --> 00:33:26.140
 his

00:33:26.140 --> 00:33:26.619
 garment

00:33:26.619 --> 00:33:27.119
 rose

00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:27.640
 and came

00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:27.839
 to

00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:28.400
 Jesus

00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:33.420
 you know

00:33:33.420 --> 00:33:33.799
 today

00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:34.460
 the problem

00:33:34.460 --> 00:33:34.879
 I think

00:33:34.879 --> 00:33:35.140
 a lot

00:33:35.140 --> 00:33:35.619
 of times

00:33:35.619 --> 00:33:36.039
 is people

00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:36.359
 want to

00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:36.700
 come to

00:33:36.700 --> 00:33:37.039
 Jesus

00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:37.379
 and they

00:33:37.379 --> 00:33:37.539
 don't

00:33:37.539 --> 00:33:37.779
 want to

00:33:37.779 --> 00:33:38.059
 change

00:33:38.059 --> 00:33:38.420
 anything

00:33:38.420 --> 00:33:38.799
 right

00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:43.680
 because

00:33:43.680 --> 00:33:44.019
 yes

00:33:44.019 --> 00:33:44.480
 Jesus

00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:44.960
 takes

00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:45.160
 you

00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:45.480
 right

00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:45.720
 how

00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:45.940
 you

00:33:45.940 --> 00:33:46.299
 are

00:33:46.299 --> 00:33:46.579
 where

00:33:46.579 --> 00:33:46.779
 you

00:33:46.779 --> 00:33:48.339
 are

00:33:48.339 --> 00:33:48.519
 in

00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:48.940
 life

00:33:48.940 --> 00:33:49.619
 and

00:33:49.619 --> 00:33:49.799
 who

00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:50.000
 you

00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:50.379
 are

00:33:50.379 --> 00:33:52.519
 but

00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:52.660
 the

00:33:52.660 --> 00:33:53.019
 question

00:33:53.019 --> 00:33:53.400
 is

00:33:53.400 --> 00:33:54.519
 does

00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:54.660
 he

00:33:54.660 --> 00:33:55.039
 change

00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:55.359
 you

00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:56.140
 afterwards

00:33:56.140 --> 00:33:57.819
 because

00:33:57.819 --> 00:33:57.960
 if

00:33:57.960 --> 00:33:58.140
 you're

00:33:58.140 --> 00:33:58.440
 truly

00:33:58.440 --> 00:33:58.920
 saved

00:33:58.920 --> 00:33:59.160
 there's

00:33:59.160 --> 00:33:59.299
 a

00:33:59.299 --> 00:33:59.680
 change

00:33:59.680 --> 00:33:59.839
 that

00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:00.039
 takes

00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:00.539
 place

00:34:00.539 --> 00:34:03.319
 there's

00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:03.559
 something

00:34:03.559 --> 00:34:04.180
 different

00:34:04.180 --> 00:34:07.619
 there's

00:34:07.619 --> 00:34:07.900
 been a

00:34:07.900 --> 00:34:08.480
 transformation

00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:09.019
 that

00:34:09.019 --> 00:34:09.280
 takes

00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:09.820
 place

00:34:09.820 --> 00:34:12.920
 because

00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:13.420
 something

00:34:13.420 --> 00:34:13.640
 has

00:34:13.640 --> 00:34:14.019
 happened

00:34:14.019 --> 00:34:14.220
 he

00:34:14.220 --> 00:34:14.600
 cast

00:34:14.600 --> 00:34:14.900
 off

00:34:14.900 --> 00:34:15.100
 his

00:34:15.100 --> 00:34:15.519
 garment

00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:18.360
 his

00:34:18.360 --> 00:34:18.780
 place

00:34:18.780 --> 00:34:18.980
 of

00:34:18.980 --> 00:34:19.400
 warmth

00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:19.600
 and

00:34:19.600 --> 00:34:20.300
 security

00:34:20.300 --> 00:34:21.519
 remember

00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:21.660
 he

00:34:21.660 --> 00:34:21.820
 was

00:34:21.820 --> 00:34:21.980
 a

00:34:21.980 --> 00:34:22.280
 beggar

00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:22.420
 he

00:34:22.420 --> 00:34:22.660
 didn't

00:34:22.660 --> 00:34:22.920
 have

00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:23.340
 much

00:34:23.340 --> 00:34:25.100
 but

00:34:25.100 --> 00:34:25.220
 he

00:34:25.220 --> 00:34:25.440
 said

00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:25.559
 you

00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:25.680
 know

00:34:25.680 --> 00:34:25.860
 what

00:34:25.860 --> 00:34:26.000
 to

00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:26.140
 get

00:34:26.140 --> 00:34:26.300
 to

00:34:26.300 --> 00:34:26.640
 Jesus

00:34:26.640 --> 00:34:26.880
 I

00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:27.000
 don't

00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:27.180
 want

00:34:27.180 --> 00:34:27.720
 anything

00:34:27.720 --> 00:34:28.160
 hindering

00:34:28.160 --> 00:34:28.539
 me

00:34:28.539 --> 00:34:29.100
 or

00:34:29.100 --> 00:34:29.460
 holding

00:34:29.460 --> 00:34:29.680
 me

00:34:29.680 --> 00:34:30.080
 back

00:34:30.080 --> 00:34:30.220
 he

00:34:30.220 --> 00:34:30.400
 says

00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:30.539
 he

00:34:30.539 --> 00:34:31.180
 cast

00:34:31.180 --> 00:34:31.480

00:34:32.820 --> 00:34:33.000
 to

00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:33.340
 Jesus

00:34:33.340 --> 00:34:33.539
 he

00:34:33.539 --> 00:34:33.700
 says

00:34:33.700 --> 00:34:34.000
 hey

00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:34.500
 this

00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:01.559

00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:10.000

 time when

00:40:51.940 --> 00:40:52.280
 you said

00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:53.019
 I know

00:40:53.019 --> 00:40:55.660
 I'm a

00:40:55.660 --> 00:40:56.619
 vile

00:40:56.619 --> 00:40:57.059
 sinner

00:40:57.059 --> 00:40:59.119
 it's my

00:40:59.119 --> 00:40:59.579
 sin that

00:40:59.579 --> 00:41:00.300
 separates me

00:41:00.300 --> 00:41:00.840
 from god

00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:03.320

00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:05.760
 and died

00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:06.220
 and paid

00:41:06.220 --> 00:41:06.660
 the price

00:41:06.660 --> 00:41:07.059
 for that

00:41:07.059 --> 00:41:07.680
 for you

00:41:09.900 --> 00:41:10.619
 if you

00:41:10.619 --> 00:41:10.920
 don't know

00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:18.000
 hope or

00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:18.420
 guess

00:41:18.420 --> 00:41:20.700
 but leave

00:41:20.700 --> 00:41:21.519
 here rejoicing

00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:22.099

00:41:23.380 --> 00:41:24.099
 all others

00:41:24.099 --> 00:41:27.160

00:41:27.160 --> 00:41:27.519
 sight of

00:41:27.519 --> 00:41:28.000
 the savior

00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:31.300
 maybe you're
