WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.700
 We live in very uncertain economic times,

00:00:02.819 --> 00:00:05.639
 perhaps more uncertain than we have known for a long time.

00:00:06.379 --> 00:00:08.220
 Sitting in the coffee shop this week,

00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:10.359
 it's a great place to try and prepare a message

00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:14.900
 and be away from some of the other clutter that impacts you.

00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:17.640
 But I heard three different conversations.

00:00:19.059 --> 00:00:21.199
 So be careful what you say in a coffee shop

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:22.420
 because people might be listening.

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:26.859
 One man had just been sacked

00:00:26.859 --> 00:00:31.000
 and he was arguing the fairness with the person

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:32.759
 who was obviously responsible.

00:00:36.460 --> 00:00:40.799
 A woman was talking about how she could rearrange her finances,

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.420
 how she could redraw her loan for the time being

00:00:44.420 --> 00:00:47.340
 after being laid off.

00:00:49.219 --> 00:00:52.100
 And she was worrying about others in her office.

00:00:52.100 --> 00:00:57.219
 And another man was talking on the phone

00:00:57.219 --> 00:01:00.160
 about needing to ask about a new job next week.

00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:08.960
 Fear, uncertainty, anxiety.

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:12.640
 Now, Timothy Keller, you know the book,

00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:14.120
 this is the book that we've been using,

00:01:14.219 --> 00:01:16.060
 lying behind the series that we're just preaching

00:01:16.060 --> 00:01:17.579
 and we've run out of copies at the back.

00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:18.379
 We've sold them all.

00:01:18.379 --> 00:01:21.879
 But he writes that just after the GFC,

00:01:22.060 --> 00:01:26.560
 the global financial crisis began in 2008-2009,

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:30.219
 a columnist in the New York Times

00:01:30.219 --> 00:01:32.959
 wrote about a woman who had just been laid off.

00:01:34.739 --> 00:01:39.599
 She was known amongst her friends in her workplace

00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:43.560
 to be hardworking, fair, honest,

00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:47.820
 and she had been really generous with her money towards friends

00:01:47.820 --> 00:01:48.900
 and very charitable.

00:01:52.299 --> 00:01:53.920
 Her work specialty

00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:58.020
 had been parceling up high-risk debt

00:01:58.020 --> 00:01:59.680
 and selling it to investors.

00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:04.840
 She was doing something in her work

00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:06.760
 that played a sinister role

00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.280
 in the downfall of the world economy.

00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:14.000
 She didn't think about it.

00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:18.180
 She was just doing her job,

00:02:18.259 --> 00:02:19.960
 ethical in her personal life,

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:23.620
 unthinking about this area of ethics in her employment.

00:02:25.379 --> 00:02:27.780
 And Keller says that these things have happened

00:02:27.780 --> 00:02:29.460
 because the business community

00:02:29.460 --> 00:02:31.500
 had a distorted ethical compass.

00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:34.180
 Their compass said

00:02:34.180 --> 00:02:36.620
 that if the practice is legal

00:02:36.620 --> 00:02:38.180
 and everybody is doing it,

00:02:38.259 --> 00:02:40.159
 the only fundamental question is

00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:41.280
 can money be made?

00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:46.860
 The driving ethic?

00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:48.219
 Can money be made?

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:49.700
 How do I maximise profit?

00:02:51.780 --> 00:02:54.460
 And lying behind the ethic is the question,

00:02:54.640 --> 00:02:56.159
 who am I responsible to?

00:02:56.159 --> 00:03:02.259
 Now, I reckon most of us operate within the law.

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:05.199
 We would think of ourselves as law-abiding citizens.

00:03:05.500 --> 00:03:06.800
 We don't cheat on taxes.

00:03:07.019 --> 00:03:09.400
 We obey most of the road rules.

00:03:12.519 --> 00:03:15.120
 I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall

00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:16.620
 in the community groups this week,

00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:17.340
 those that met,

00:03:17.460 --> 00:03:19.939
 because I think the first discussion question

00:03:19.939 --> 00:03:21.579
 was the statement,

00:03:21.579 --> 00:03:24.500
 if it's legal, it is right.

00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:25.240
 Discuss.

00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:28.020
 If it's legal, it is right.

00:03:28.180 --> 00:03:28.579
 Discuss.

00:03:28.699 --> 00:03:30.340
 Did anybody go to town on that one?

00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:32.900
 No, Lynn?

00:03:35.579 --> 00:03:36.300
 You did?

00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:37.479
 What was the answer?

00:03:38.780 --> 00:03:43.060
 Just because it's done doesn't mean it's right.

00:03:43.139 --> 00:03:44.460
 Did anybody come up with a different answer?

00:03:46.219 --> 00:03:47.099
 Well, that's good.

00:03:50.500 --> 00:03:52.599
 Because the law permits a lot of things

00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:53.979
 that clash with the view of life

00:03:53.979 --> 00:03:55.939
 driven by the lordship of Jesus Christ.

00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:00.960
 You can legally drive at the speed limit in wet weather,

00:04:01.099 --> 00:04:02.319
 but it might not be safe.

00:04:05.079 --> 00:04:07.259
 You can visit a brothel

00:04:07.259 --> 00:04:08.919
 or you can work in a brothel

00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:09.879
 and it's legal.

00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:14.479
 A future day may come

00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.219
 when you can legally marry a person of the same gender.

00:04:19.860 --> 00:04:22.379
 At the Nuremberg trials of former Nazis

00:04:22.379 --> 00:04:23.920
 after the Second World War,

00:04:24.019 --> 00:04:25.920
 defendants continually stepped forward

00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:26.600
 and they said,

00:04:27.100 --> 00:04:29.000
 I was only following orders.

00:04:30.339 --> 00:04:31.519
 It's another way of saying

00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:32.879
 I was following my leaders,

00:04:33.019 --> 00:04:35.980
 I was being faithful to my leaders' instructions.

00:04:35.980 --> 00:04:42.640
 See, it doesn't matter how good a person you think you are,

00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:48.020
 life with Christ is going to bring you into conflict with the world.

00:04:48.019 --> 00:04:51.859
 And that means in our life's vocations.

00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:54.620
 Throughout this series,

00:04:54.740 --> 00:04:56.759
 we have said that we live in a fallen world,

00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:59.959
 that we've said that work in a fallen world

00:04:59.959 --> 00:05:02.939
 is distorted from God's good creation purposes.

00:05:02.939 --> 00:05:06.719
 We have difficulties in our workplaces,

00:05:06.899 --> 00:05:08.860
 we have difficulties in our families,

00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.279
 we have difficulties in our schools and our universities.

00:05:14.699 --> 00:05:18.339
 And sometimes those difficulties are a direct consequence

00:05:18.339 --> 00:05:20.839
 of who we are in Christ and what we believe.

00:05:22.579 --> 00:05:25.319
 Godly parents say no to children sometimes.

00:05:26.620 --> 00:05:29.399
 Godly employees will not sign off on everything

00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:30.639
 that they are asked to.

00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:34.759
 Jesus said,

00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:35.599
 John 15,

00:05:35.699 --> 00:05:36.839
 If the world hates you,

00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:38.860
 keep in mind that it hated me first.

00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:41.899
 If you belong to the world,

00:05:42.019 --> 00:05:43.839
 it would love you as its own.

00:05:44.979 --> 00:05:45.740
 As it is,

00:05:45.779 --> 00:05:47.339
 you do not belong to the world,

00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.399
 but I have chosen you out of the world

00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:51.319
 and that is why the world hates you.

00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:57.339
 Faith in Jesus Christ

00:05:57.339 --> 00:06:00.000
 brings us to a very distinctive view of the world.

00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:01.560
 It brings trouble.

00:06:02.579 --> 00:06:03.659
 It brings joy.

00:06:04.659 --> 00:06:07.560
 And sometimes they both come at the same time.

00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:11.240
 Last week I think I said that the earth is the Lord's

00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:12.219
 and everything in it,

00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:13.300
 all people,

00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:15.800
 live under the ordinary grace of God

00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:17.579
 whether they believe in God or not.

00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:21.019
 And it's really liberating

00:06:21.019 --> 00:06:22.539
 because it sets us free

00:06:22.539 --> 00:06:25.939
 to be appreciative of the skills

00:06:25.939 --> 00:06:26.819
 and the abilities

00:06:26.819 --> 00:06:27.879
 and the graces

00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.279
 that God has given to unbelievers

00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.199
 because ultimately their abilities

00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:35.879
 are from God's hand

00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.000
 even if they do not acknowledge him.

00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:42.399
 And it also sets us free

00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:44.699
 because free from feeling like

00:06:44.699 --> 00:06:46.259
 we have to excel at everything.

00:06:46.259 --> 00:06:51.560
 It's absolutely ridiculous

00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:53.639
 to expect our children

00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:56.000
 to be top dog in every endeavour.

00:06:59.420 --> 00:07:01.039
 We are to be the people

00:07:01.039 --> 00:07:02.519
 that God wants us to be

00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:04.579
 in the place where God has put us

00:07:04.579 --> 00:07:06.659
 and imperfect as I am,

00:07:07.899 --> 00:07:10.120
 I will continue to try to be

00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:11.779
 the man who loves my wife

00:07:11.779 --> 00:07:12.680
 or my children

00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.300
 better than any other man on the planet.

00:07:15.300 --> 00:07:16.800
 I can be distinctive

00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:17.600
 and excellent

00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:18.319
 in the place

00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:19.759
 where God has put me.

00:07:22.579 --> 00:07:23.860
 They know the first bit,

00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:25.120
 imperfect as I am.

00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:27.780
 Just thought I'd better put that in.

00:07:34.139 --> 00:07:35.519
 Faith in Jesus Christ

00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:36.259
 brings with it

00:07:36.259 --> 00:07:37.900
 a very distinctive work ethic.

00:07:39.060 --> 00:07:40.259
 Whether we are in paid

00:07:40.259 --> 00:07:41.340
 or unpaid employment

00:07:41.340 --> 00:07:42.560
 or whether our vocation

00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:43.680
 is nurturing a family

00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:44.600
 or going to school,

00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:45.280
 being at uni,

00:07:45.379 --> 00:07:45.920
 working hard,

00:07:45.980 --> 00:07:46.879
 whatever it is there,

00:07:47.580 --> 00:07:48.740
 the ethical view

00:07:48.740 --> 00:07:49.879
 that we should drive us

00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:50.720
 comes from the mouth

00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:51.740
 of Jesus himself.

00:07:52.780 --> 00:07:53.600
 When he was asked

00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:54.840
 what the greatest commandment

00:07:54.840 --> 00:07:55.740
 in the Bible was,

00:07:55.780 --> 00:07:56.520
 he gave two.

00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:57.400
 Matthew 22.

00:07:58.439 --> 00:07:59.260
 Jesus said,

00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:00.460
 Love the Lord your God

00:08:00.460 --> 00:08:01.379
 with all your heart

00:08:01.379 --> 00:08:02.820
 and with all your soul

00:08:02.820 --> 00:08:04.200
 and with all your mind.

00:08:05.379 --> 00:08:06.280
 This is the first

00:08:06.280 --> 00:08:07.480
 and greatest commandment.

00:08:08.840 --> 00:08:10.420
 And the second is like it,

00:08:10.460 --> 00:08:11.020
 you shall love

00:08:11.020 --> 00:08:12.100
 your neighbour as yourself.

00:08:12.100 --> 00:08:14.000
 all the law

00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:14.560
 and the prophets,

00:08:14.700 --> 00:08:15.520
 all the scriptures

00:08:15.520 --> 00:08:18.379
 hang on these two commandments.

00:08:22.620 --> 00:08:24.020
 And those commandments

00:08:24.020 --> 00:08:25.439
 say that relationships

00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:26.720
 are at the heart

00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:28.300
 of Christian living.

00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:31.879
 Keller's book

00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:32.720
 tells the story

00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:33.180
 of a woman

00:08:33.180 --> 00:08:35.220
 who left a highly paid job

00:08:35.220 --> 00:08:37.259
 to work in her local church.

00:08:37.340 --> 00:08:38.420
 She co-wrote this book.

00:08:38.419 --> 00:08:41.279
 And she was going on one day

00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:42.579
 about all her contacts

00:08:42.579 --> 00:08:43.979
 and what she was going to do

00:08:43.979 --> 00:08:44.559
 and the pastor

00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:45.819
 very gently said,

00:08:46.819 --> 00:08:48.419
 In this business,

00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:50.179
 we call them people.

00:08:57.379 --> 00:08:59.319
 So we're not bums on seats

00:08:59.319 --> 00:09:02.179
 or consumers of products

00:09:02.179 --> 00:09:05.659
 or resources to be redeployed

00:09:05.659 --> 00:09:07.860
 or assets to be let go of.

00:09:09.699 --> 00:09:10.919
 In God's sight,

00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:11.699
 we are people.

00:09:14.500 --> 00:09:15.439
 And the creator,

00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:16.459
 God of the universe,

00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:17.539
 loves us enough

00:09:17.539 --> 00:09:18.419
 to invite us

00:09:18.419 --> 00:09:19.259
 into relationship

00:09:19.259 --> 00:09:20.100
 with himself

00:09:20.100 --> 00:09:22.459
 and his love for us

00:09:22.459 --> 00:09:23.959
 insists that we love

00:09:23.959 --> 00:09:24.519
 one another.

00:09:27.019 --> 00:09:28.699
 So in 1 John chapter 4,

00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:29.419
 this is love,

00:09:29.500 --> 00:09:30.720
 not that we love God,

00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:33.259
 but that he loved us

00:09:33.259 --> 00:09:34.279
 and sent his son

00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:35.700
 as an atoning sacrifice

00:09:35.700 --> 00:09:36.820
 for our sins.

00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:38.899
 Dear friends,

00:09:38.980 --> 00:09:40.240
 since God so loved us,

00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:41.600
 we ought to love one another.

00:09:44.820 --> 00:09:45.860
 God's love is

00:09:45.860 --> 00:09:47.620
 other person-centred,

00:09:47.899 --> 00:09:48.879
 sacrificial love.

00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:50.800
 In love,

00:09:50.920 --> 00:09:52.080
 Christ gives of himself

00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:53.080
 for us.

00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:55.960
 We are called

00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:57.620
 to a righteousness of life

00:09:57.620 --> 00:09:59.540
 where we serve others.

00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:01.960
 The word ministry

00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:03.700
 means service.

00:10:05.540 --> 00:10:06.740
 It's about giving

00:10:06.740 --> 00:10:07.980
 without expectation

00:10:07.980 --> 00:10:08.779
 of receiving.

00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.040
 It's about asking questions

00:10:13.040 --> 00:10:13.360
 like,

00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:14.379
 what does it mean

00:10:14.379 --> 00:10:15.460
 for me to act

00:10:15.460 --> 00:10:16.600
 in the best interests

00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:17.480
 of my neighbour?

00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:23.040
 It's part of what it means

00:10:23.040 --> 00:10:24.519
 to live a righteous life.

00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:25.420
 Keller quotes

00:10:25.420 --> 00:10:27.720
 an Old Testament scholar

00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:28.540
 on Proverbs

00:10:28.539 --> 00:10:30.339
 and he says

00:10:30.339 --> 00:10:31.740
 that the very definition

00:10:31.740 --> 00:10:33.179
 of a righteous people

00:10:33.179 --> 00:10:35.299
 is that they

00:10:35.299 --> 00:10:37.179
 disadvantage themselves

00:10:37.179 --> 00:10:39.179
 to advantage others.

00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:42.179
 The wicked

00:10:42.179 --> 00:10:44.259
 are willing

00:10:44.259 --> 00:10:45.779
 to disadvantage

00:10:45.779 --> 00:10:46.959
 the community

00:10:46.959 --> 00:10:49.240
 to advantage

00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:50.259
 themselves.

00:10:50.259 --> 00:10:54.639
 front pages

00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:55.539
 of the newspaper

00:10:55.539 --> 00:10:56.279
 for the last

00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:57.100
 several months.

00:10:57.740 --> 00:10:58.980
 Senior New South Wales

00:10:58.980 --> 00:11:00.159
 leaders and politicians

00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:00.799
 in front

00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:02.899
 of legal proceedings.

00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:05.759
 Their guilt

00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:07.000
 is yet to be determined

00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:09.539
 but one thing

00:11:09.539 --> 00:11:10.659
 is really clear.

00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:11.740
 They have been

00:11:11.740 --> 00:11:12.200
 looking

00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:13.080
 after

00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:14.259
 themselves.

00:11:14.259 --> 00:11:20.299
 And in Isaiah 58

00:11:20.299 --> 00:11:21.399
 God confronts us

00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:22.080
 his people

00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:23.460
 over similar issues.

00:11:24.259 --> 00:11:25.139
 Verse 2

00:11:25.139 --> 00:11:26.580
 Day after day

00:11:26.580 --> 00:11:27.519
 they seek me out

00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:29.159
 they seem

00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:30.019
 eager to know

00:11:30.019 --> 00:11:30.720
 my ways

00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:32.200
 as if

00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:33.200
 they were a nation

00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:34.379
 that does

00:11:34.379 --> 00:11:35.080
 what is right

00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:35.679
 and has not

00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:36.299
 forsaken

00:11:36.299 --> 00:11:36.960
 the commands

00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:37.759
 of its God.

00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:40.779
 They ask me

00:11:40.779 --> 00:11:41.799
 for just decisions

00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:42.599
 and they seem

00:11:42.599 --> 00:11:43.579
 eager for God

00:11:43.579 --> 00:11:44.519
 to come near them.

00:11:48.439 --> 00:11:49.259
 Why have we

00:11:49.259 --> 00:11:49.939
 fasted

00:11:49.939 --> 00:11:50.539
 and you haven't

00:11:50.539 --> 00:11:51.059
 seen it?

00:11:52.579 --> 00:11:53.319
 Why have we

00:11:53.319 --> 00:11:54.279
 humbled ourselves

00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:55.139
 and you

00:11:55.139 --> 00:11:55.639
 not even

00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:56.199
 noticed?

00:11:58.379 --> 00:11:58.779
 And yet

00:11:58.779 --> 00:11:59.259
 on the day

00:11:59.259 --> 00:12:00.059
 of your fasting

00:12:00.059 --> 00:12:00.859
 you do as you

00:12:00.859 --> 00:12:01.219
 please

00:12:01.219 --> 00:12:01.939
 and you exploit

00:12:01.939 --> 00:12:02.839
 all your workers.

00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:05.439
 God's people

00:12:05.439 --> 00:12:06.379
 are going to church

00:12:06.379 --> 00:12:06.819
 they're doing

00:12:06.819 --> 00:12:07.779
 their Bible studies

00:12:07.779 --> 00:12:08.500
 they say that

00:12:08.500 --> 00:12:08.919
 they're eager

00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:10.199
 to know God's ways

00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:12.120
 and at the same

00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:12.640
 time they're

00:12:12.640 --> 00:12:13.500
 exploiting their

00:12:13.500 --> 00:12:13.900
 workers

00:12:13.900 --> 00:12:14.860
 they might have

00:12:14.860 --> 00:12:15.640
 the law on their

00:12:15.640 --> 00:12:16.280
 side but they

00:12:16.280 --> 00:12:17.140
 don't have God's

00:12:17.140 --> 00:12:17.560
 law they're

00:12:17.560 --> 00:12:18.100
 looking after

00:12:18.100 --> 00:12:18.660
 themselves.

00:12:22.140 --> 00:12:23.200
 And then in 6

00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:23.720
 and 7

00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:25.040
 Is not this

00:12:25.040 --> 00:12:25.740
 the kind of

00:12:25.740 --> 00:12:26.600
 fasting I have

00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:27.080
 chosen?

00:12:27.860 --> 00:12:28.800
 To loose

00:12:28.800 --> 00:12:29.400
 the chains

00:12:29.400 --> 00:12:30.120
 of injustice

00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:31.140
 and untie

00:12:31.140 --> 00:12:31.740
 the cords

00:12:31.740 --> 00:12:32.460
 of the yoke

00:12:32.460 --> 00:12:33.280
 to set

00:12:33.280 --> 00:12:33.920
 the oppressed

00:12:33.920 --> 00:12:34.640
 free and to

00:12:34.640 --> 00:12:35.379
 break every

00:12:35.379 --> 00:12:35.740
 yoke?

00:12:36.660 --> 00:12:37.220
 Is it not

00:12:37.220 --> 00:12:37.700
 to share

00:12:37.700 --> 00:12:38.280
 your food

00:12:38.280 --> 00:12:39.000
 with the hungry

00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:39.780
 and to provide

00:12:39.779 --> 00:12:40.259
 the poor

00:12:40.259 --> 00:12:40.839
 wanderer

00:12:40.839 --> 00:12:41.500
 with shelter

00:12:41.500 --> 00:12:42.480
 and when you

00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:43.240
 see the naked

00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:44.179
 to clothe him

00:12:44.179 --> 00:12:44.679
 and not to

00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:45.279
 turn away

00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:45.720
 from your

00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:46.339
 own flesh

00:12:46.339 --> 00:12:46.919
 and blood?

00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:50.559
 See instead

00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:50.959
 of looking

00:12:50.959 --> 00:12:51.720
 after themselves

00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:52.379
 they're exhorted

00:12:52.379 --> 00:12:52.879
 to love

00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:53.379
 their neighbour

00:12:53.379 --> 00:12:53.779
 in some

00:12:53.779 --> 00:12:54.600
 very concrete

00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:55.059
 ways

00:12:55.059 --> 00:12:55.419
 food,

00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:55.879
 clothing,

00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:56.379
 shelter

00:12:56.379 --> 00:12:58.559
 it's a crucial

00:12:58.559 --> 00:12:59.299
 part of their

00:12:59.299 --> 00:12:59.679
 witness

00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:00.439
 they're a bunch

00:13:00.439 --> 00:13:01.179
 of hypocrites

00:13:01.179 --> 00:13:03.539
 I lived in

00:13:03.539 --> 00:13:04.379
 a small rural

00:13:04.379 --> 00:13:04.879
 community

00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:05.579
 and it was

00:13:05.579 --> 00:13:06.279
 really easy

00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:06.860
 to get people

00:13:06.860 --> 00:13:07.339
 to come to

00:13:07.339 --> 00:13:08.519
 evangelistic events

00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:09.039
 can you believe

00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:09.299
 that?

00:13:09.779 --> 00:13:10.259
 It was

00:13:10.259 --> 00:13:11.059
 really easy

00:13:11.059 --> 00:13:11.459
 to bring

00:13:11.459 --> 00:13:11.759
 them in

00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:12.059
 off the

00:13:12.059 --> 00:13:12.360
 farms

00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:12.720
 and get

00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:13.000
 them to

00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:13.339
 come to

00:13:13.339 --> 00:13:13.759
 the events

00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:14.059
 that we

00:13:14.059 --> 00:13:14.559
 would run

00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:15.659
 You know

00:13:15.659 --> 00:13:15.959
 how it

00:13:15.959 --> 00:13:16.240
 worked?

00:13:16.699 --> 00:13:17.299
 Because there

00:13:17.299 --> 00:13:17.639
 were some

00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:18.079
 wonderful

00:13:18.079 --> 00:13:19.079
 Christian bosses

00:13:19.079 --> 00:13:19.879
 out there

00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:21.439
 Some of the

00:13:21.439 --> 00:13:22.000
 farm owners

00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:22.639
 brought their

00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:23.559
 workers to

00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:24.100
 the events

00:13:24.100 --> 00:13:24.579
 that's what

00:13:24.579 --> 00:13:24.959
 they did

00:13:24.959 --> 00:13:26.699
 and the

00:13:26.699 --> 00:13:27.559
 workers came

00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:28.959
 in deference

00:13:28.959 --> 00:13:29.860
 to the boss

00:13:29.860 --> 00:13:31.399
 So if

00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:31.519
 your

00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:31.899
 Christian

00:13:31.899 --> 00:13:32.500
 says

00:13:32.500 --> 00:13:32.639
 you

00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:32.820
 better

00:13:32.820 --> 00:13:33.080
 come

00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:33.200
 to

00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:33.419
 this

00:13:33.419 --> 00:13:33.800
 thing

00:13:33.800 --> 00:13:34.080
 in

00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:34.480
 town

00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:39.460
 and

00:13:39.460 --> 00:13:39.639
 there's

00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:39.779
 some

00:13:39.779 --> 00:13:40.120
 wonderful

00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:40.580
 Christian

00:13:40.580 --> 00:13:40.919
 bosses

00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:41.379
 and there

00:13:41.379 --> 00:13:41.740
 were some

00:13:41.740 --> 00:13:42.279
 lousy

00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:42.860
 Christian

00:13:42.860 --> 00:13:43.259
 bosses

00:13:43.259 --> 00:13:44.039
 as well

00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:47.019
 and the

00:13:47.019 --> 00:13:47.539
 workers knew

00:13:47.539 --> 00:13:48.099
 the difference

00:13:48.099 --> 00:13:48.639
 the Christian

00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:48.980
 bosses

00:13:48.980 --> 00:13:49.419
 they all

00:13:49.419 --> 00:13:49.740
 looked the

00:13:49.740 --> 00:13:50.079
 same at

00:13:50.079 --> 00:13:50.519
 church on

00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:50.839
 Sunday

00:13:50.839 --> 00:13:51.219
 they all

00:13:51.219 --> 00:13:51.659
 dressed the

00:13:51.659 --> 00:13:51.860
 same

00:13:51.860 --> 00:13:52.219
 they all

00:13:52.219 --> 00:13:52.659
 bowed and

00:13:52.659 --> 00:13:53.099
 scraped and

00:13:53.099 --> 00:13:53.419
 said the

00:13:53.419 --> 00:13:53.759
 prayers and

00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:54.219
 did everything

00:13:54.219 --> 00:13:54.799
 together in

00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:55.219
 church

00:13:55.220 --> 00:13:58.600
 but the

00:13:58.600 --> 00:13:59.240
 workers saw

00:13:59.240 --> 00:13:59.580
 the way

00:13:59.580 --> 00:13:59.899
 that they

00:13:59.899 --> 00:14:00.379
 went about

00:14:00.379 --> 00:14:00.840
 their work

00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:01.200
 the other

00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:02.000
 six days

00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:05.220
 they experienced

00:14:05.220 --> 00:14:05.680
 what it was

00:14:05.680 --> 00:14:06.220
 like to be

00:14:06.220 --> 00:14:06.700
 driven by

00:14:06.700 --> 00:14:07.240
 their greedy

00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:07.960
 self-interest

00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:08.379
 for the

00:14:08.379 --> 00:14:08.920
 other six

00:14:08.920 --> 00:14:09.519
 days of

00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:09.980
 the week

00:14:09.980 --> 00:14:13.180
 so they

00:14:13.180 --> 00:14:13.500
 were one

00:14:13.500 --> 00:14:14.160
 person in

00:14:14.160 --> 00:14:14.700
 church and

00:14:14.700 --> 00:14:15.180
 they were an

00:14:15.180 --> 00:14:16.340
 unrecognisably

00:14:16.340 --> 00:14:17.139
 different person

00:14:17.139 --> 00:14:17.639
 out there in

00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:18.220
 the community

00:14:18.220 --> 00:14:20.820
 and when

00:14:20.820 --> 00:14:21.340
 Christians

00:14:21.340 --> 00:14:22.160
 behaved like

00:14:22.160 --> 00:14:22.600
 that they

00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:23.240
 just gave

00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:24.019
 the unbelievers

00:14:24.019 --> 00:14:24.800
 every reason

00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:25.359
 to mock what

00:14:25.359 --> 00:14:25.859
 those people

00:14:25.859 --> 00:14:26.259
 at church

00:14:26.259 --> 00:14:26.679
 are like

00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:29.459
 because God

00:14:29.459 --> 00:14:30.179
 doesn't make

00:14:30.179 --> 00:14:30.859
 a sacred

00:14:30.859 --> 00:14:31.419
 secular

00:14:31.419 --> 00:14:32.059
 distinction

00:14:32.059 --> 00:14:32.779
 all our

00:14:32.779 --> 00:14:33.259
 life is

00:14:33.259 --> 00:14:33.939
 lived before

00:14:33.939 --> 00:14:34.279
 him

00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:35.919
 and how

00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:36.539
 we represent

00:14:36.539 --> 00:14:37.079
 him and

00:14:37.079 --> 00:14:37.379
 how we

00:14:37.379 --> 00:14:37.939
 submit to

00:14:37.939 --> 00:14:38.500
 him every

00:14:38.500 --> 00:14:39.459
 day matters

00:14:39.459 --> 00:14:43.179
 so who do

00:14:43.179 --> 00:14:43.539
 you work

00:14:43.539 --> 00:14:43.879
 for

00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.839
 how should

00:14:46.839 --> 00:14:47.159
 you go

00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:47.559
 about your

00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:47.919
 work

 to God

00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:01.279
 slaves obey

00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:01.839
 your earthly

00:15:01.839 --> 00:15:02.559
 masters in

00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:03.500
 everything and

00:15:03.500 --> 00:15:04.980
 do it not

00:15:04.980 --> 00:15:05.399
 only when

00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:05.879
 their eyes

00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:06.579
 on you and

00:15:06.579 --> 00:15:06.899
 to win

00:15:06.899 --> 00:15:07.480
 their favour

00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.379
 but with

00:15:09.379 --> 00:15:10.219
 sincerity of

00:15:10.219 --> 00:15:10.639
 heart and

00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:11.519
 reverence for

00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:12.159
 the Lord

00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:14.539
 and whatever

00:15:14.539 --> 00:15:15.639
 you do work

00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:16.139
 at it with

00:15:16.139 --> 00:15:16.639
 all your

00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:17.240
 heart as

00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:17.819
 working for

00:15:17.819 --> 00:15:18.159
 the Lord

00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:18.559
 not for

00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:20.919
 men since

00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:21.299
 you know

00:15:21.299 --> 00:15:21.779
 that you will

00:15:21.779 --> 00:15:22.339
 receive an

00:15:22.339 --> 00:15:23.099
 inheritance from

00:15:23.100 --> 00:15:23.460
 the Lord

00:15:23.460 --> 00:15:24.220
 as a reward

00:15:24.220 --> 00:15:25.540
 it is the

00:15:25.540 --> 00:15:26.240
 Lord Christ

00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:26.620
 you are

00:15:26.620 --> 00:15:27.019
 serving

00:15:27.019 --> 00:15:29.399
 anyone who

00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:29.920
 does wrong

00:15:29.920 --> 00:15:30.240
 will be

00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:30.840
 repaid for

00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:31.399
 his wrong

00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:32.440
 and there's

00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:33.500
 no favouritism

00:15:33.500 --> 00:15:36.180
 masters provide

00:15:36.180 --> 00:15:37.220
 your slaves with

00:15:37.220 --> 00:15:37.899
 what is right

00:15:37.899 --> 00:15:38.659
 and fair because

00:15:38.659 --> 00:15:39.580
 you know that

00:15:39.580 --> 00:15:40.680
 you have a

00:15:40.680 --> 00:15:41.519
 master in

00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:41.860
 heaven

00:15:41.860 --> 00:15:45.720
 and that is

00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:46.560
 God's word to

00:15:46.560 --> 00:15:47.360
 us to people

00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:48.340
 living under the

00:15:48.340 --> 00:15:49.019
 lordship of

00:15:49.019 --> 00:15:49.980
 Jesus Christ

00:15:49.980 --> 00:15:52.620
 if you are

00:15:52.620 --> 00:15:53.240
 employed

00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:56.079
 obey those

00:15:56.079 --> 00:15:56.799
 who employ

00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:57.519
 you in

00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:58.120
 everything

00:15:58.120 --> 00:15:59.620
 not just

00:15:59.620 --> 00:16:00.579
 for them

00:16:00.579 --> 00:16:02.720
 but because

00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:03.299
 you know

00:16:03.299 --> 00:16:04.279
 and serve

00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:04.919
 Christ

00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:07.679
 remember our

00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:08.799
 work is

00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:09.419
 vocational

00:16:09.419 --> 00:16:09.980
 it's not about

00:16:09.980 --> 00:16:10.559
 what we get

00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:11.079
 out of it

00:16:11.079 --> 00:16:12.220
 it's something

00:16:12.220 --> 00:16:12.720
 that God

00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:13.659
 calls us to

00:16:13.659 --> 00:16:15.340
 and that we

00:16:15.340 --> 00:16:16.079
 get paid to

00:16:16.079 --> 00:16:16.639
 do as we

00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:17.319
 serve another

00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:18.379
 and so we

00:16:18.379 --> 00:16:19.920
 do it with

00:16:19.920 --> 00:16:21.520
 sincerity of

00:16:21.520 --> 00:16:21.980
 heart and

00:16:21.980 --> 00:16:22.640
 with reverence

00:16:22.640 --> 00:16:22.960
 for the

00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:23.240
 Lord

00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.240
 this is

00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:27.020
 tricky stuff

00:16:27.020 --> 00:16:29.180
 because

00:16:29.180 --> 00:16:31.080
 obey those

00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:31.879
 who employ

00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:32.379
 you in

00:16:32.379 --> 00:16:33.020
 everything

00:16:33.020 --> 00:16:35.720
 sorry

00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:36.600
 it's tricky

00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:37.420
 stuff because

00:16:37.420 --> 00:16:37.940
 I used some

00:16:37.940 --> 00:16:38.660
 examples at the

00:16:38.660 --> 00:16:39.320
 beginning where

00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:39.980
 we could do

00:16:39.980 --> 00:16:40.560
 some terrible

00:16:40.560 --> 00:16:41.300
 things just

00:16:41.300 --> 00:16:42.100
 following orders

00:16:42.100 --> 00:16:46.460
 it could be

00:16:46.460 --> 00:16:47.320
 our job to

00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:48.360
 drop the

00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:49.100
 gas pellets

00:16:49.100 --> 00:16:49.540
 into the

00:16:49.540 --> 00:16:51.540
 Nazi ovens

00:16:51.540 --> 00:16:55.120
 and I'm

00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:55.680
 not sure I

00:16:55.680 --> 00:16:56.100
 want to say

00:16:56.100 --> 00:16:56.740
 something like

00:16:56.740 --> 00:16:57.259
 that is a

00:16:57.259 --> 00:16:57.759
 job that you

00:16:57.759 --> 00:16:58.279
 do to the

00:16:58.279 --> 00:16:58.920
 glory of God

00:16:58.920 --> 00:17:02.960
 and sometimes

00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:03.580
 an employer

00:17:03.580 --> 00:17:04.160
 will demand

00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:04.519
 that you

00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:05.200
 break God's

00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:07.980
 law and

00:17:07.980 --> 00:17:08.339
 that will

00:17:08.339 --> 00:17:08.700
 bring a

00:17:08.700 --> 00:17:09.299
 crisis of

00:17:09.299 --> 00:17:09.740
 conscience

00:17:09.740 --> 00:17:10.400
 because you

00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:10.839
 have to

00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:11.700
 prioritise

00:17:11.700 --> 00:17:11.839
 your

00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:12.279
 masters

00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:16.460
 when Jesus

00:17:16.460 --> 00:17:17.019
 was talking

00:17:17.019 --> 00:17:17.620
 about money

00:17:17.620 --> 00:17:17.900
 in the

00:17:17.900 --> 00:17:18.319
 sermon on

00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:18.620
 the mount

00:17:18.620 --> 00:17:18.960
 he said

00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:19.359
 in Matthew

00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:20.180
 6 no one

00:17:20.180 --> 00:17:20.680
 can serve

00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:21.359
 two masters

00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:21.839
 either he

00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:22.259
 will hate

00:17:22.259 --> 00:17:22.759
 the one

00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:23.740
 and love

00:17:23.740 --> 00:17:24.240
 the other

00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:25.599
 or he

00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:25.940
 will be

00:17:25.940 --> 00:17:26.599
 devoted to

00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:26.940
 the one

00:17:26.940 --> 00:17:27.140
 and he

00:17:27.140 --> 00:17:27.859
 will despise

00:17:27.859 --> 00:17:28.319
 the other

00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:29.559
 you cannot

00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:30.240
 serve both

00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:30.640
 God and

00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:30.960
 money

00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:34.980
 but in

00:17:34.980 --> 00:17:35.539
 the ordinary

00:17:35.539 --> 00:17:36.319
 course of

00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:37.120
 life and

00:17:37.120 --> 00:17:37.779
 employment

00:17:37.779 --> 00:17:39.600
 this passage

00:17:39.600 --> 00:17:40.160
 is saying

00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:40.880
 go about it

00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:41.279
 with your

00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:41.819
 eyes on

00:17:41.819 --> 00:17:42.240
 Christ

00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:43.819
 serving him

00:17:43.819 --> 00:17:47.400
 and so

00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:47.700
 when you

00:17:47.700 --> 00:17:48.140
 get up in

00:17:48.140 --> 00:17:48.460
 the night

00:17:48.460 --> 00:17:48.880
 to feed

00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:49.140
 little

00:17:49.140 --> 00:17:49.559
 children

00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:49.940
 or to

00:17:49.940 --> 00:17:50.240
 change

00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:50.640
 bedding

00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:51.160
 for them

00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:52.759
 do it

00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:53.220
 with care

00:17:53.220 --> 00:17:53.759
 for them

00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:55.819
 and do

00:17:55.819 --> 00:17:56.259
 it also

00:17:56.259 --> 00:17:56.900
 because you

00:17:56.900 --> 00:17:57.259
 want to

00:17:57.259 --> 00:17:57.799

00:17:59.579 --> 00:17:59.819
 Lord

00:17:59.819 --> 00:18:00.619
 in the

00:18:00.619 --> 00:18:00.799
 way

00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:01.079
 that you

00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:01.299
 care

00:18:01.299 --> 00:18:01.659
 for your

00:18:01.659 --> 00:18:02.079
 children

 word or deed

00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:07.559
 do it all

00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:07.819
 in the

 it's

00:21:50.600 --> 00:21:50.759
 now

00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:50.920
 for

00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:51.039
 any

 of

 you

 who

 are

 younger

00:21:54.700 --> 00:21:55.000
 running

00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:55.259
 in

00:21:55.259 --> 00:21:55.380
 the

 1924

 Harold

00:21:58.800 --> 00:21:59.600
 Abrahams

00:21:59.600 --> 00:22:00.100
 a Jew

00:22:00.100 --> 00:22:00.900
 intensely

00:22:00.900 --> 00:22:01.480
 wanted

00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:02.080
 to win

00:22:02.080 --> 00:22:03.440
 he was

00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:03.840
 full of

00:22:03.840 --> 00:22:04.420
 insecurity

00:22:04.420 --> 00:22:05.060
 about his

00:22:05.060 --> 00:22:05.380
 efforts

00:22:05.380 --> 00:22:06.160
 he literally

00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:06.759
 ran to

00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:07.259
 justify

00:22:07.259 --> 00:22:07.600
 his

00:22:07.600 --> 00:22:08.259
 existence

00:22:08.259 --> 00:22:10.360
 Eric

00:22:10.360 --> 00:22:10.840
 Liddell

00:22:10.840 --> 00:22:11.420
 a Christian

00:22:11.420 --> 00:22:12.039
 had such

00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:12.480
 deep

00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:13.080
 rest

00:22:13.080 --> 00:22:13.400
 in

00:22:13.400 --> 00:22:13.840
 Christ

00:22:13.840 --> 00:22:14.340
 that he

00:22:14.340 --> 00:22:14.600
 could

00:22:14.600 --> 00:22:14.940
 say

00:22:14.940 --> 00:22:15.380
 no

00:22:15.380 --> 00:22:16.200
 to a

00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:16.640
 likely

00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:17.120
 gold

00:22:17.120 --> 00:22:17.440
 medal

00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:17.660
 he

00:22:17.660 --> 00:22:18.259
 refused

00:22:18.259 --> 00:22:18.720
 to run

00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:19.019
 on the

00:22:19.019 --> 00:22:19.360
 Sunday

00:22:19.360 --> 00:22:19.779
 when his

00:22:19.779 --> 00:22:20.080
 best

00:22:20.080 --> 00:22:20.380
 event

00:22:20.380 --> 00:22:20.980
 was being

00:22:20.980 --> 00:22:21.539
 run

00:22:21.539 --> 00:22:24.900
 Abrahams

00:22:24.900 --> 00:22:25.820
 was desperate

00:22:25.820 --> 00:22:26.220
 to get

00:22:26.220 --> 00:22:26.580
 the medal

00:22:26.579 --> 00:22:27.019
 because he

00:22:27.019 --> 00:22:27.460
 was doing

00:22:27.460 --> 00:22:27.859
 the work

00:22:27.859 --> 00:22:28.259
 beneath

00:22:28.259 --> 00:22:28.480
 the

00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:28.679
 work

00:22:28.679 --> 00:22:28.839
 he

00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:29.039
 was

00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:29.480
 desperate

00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:29.720
 for

00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:30.279
 acknowledgement

00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:30.559
 and

00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:31.179
 affirmation

00:22:31.179 --> 00:22:31.559
 to be

00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:32.079
 on top

00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:32.740
 and it

00:22:32.740 --> 00:22:33.079
 still

00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:33.419
 never

00:22:33.419 --> 00:22:34.019
 gave him

00:22:34.019 --> 00:22:34.480
 the deep

00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:34.759
 rest

00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:35.099
 that he

00:22:35.099 --> 00:22:35.439
 sought

00:22:35.439 --> 00:22:38.179
 Liddell

00:22:38.179 --> 00:22:38.699
 didn't care

00:22:38.699 --> 00:22:39.099
 whether he

00:22:39.099 --> 00:22:39.619
 won Olympic

00:22:39.619 --> 00:22:39.960
 medals

00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:40.359
 or not

00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:40.679
 he was

00:22:40.679 --> 00:22:41.220
 at rest

00:22:41.220 --> 00:22:42.839
 he told

00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:43.419
 his sister

00:22:43.419 --> 00:22:44.099
 that God

00:22:44.099 --> 00:22:45.480
 had simply

00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:46.139
 made him

00:22:46.139 --> 00:22:46.659
 fast

00:22:46.659 --> 00:22:47.699
 and that

00:22:47.699 --> 00:22:48.139
 when I

00:22:48.139 --> 00:22:48.460
 run

00:22:48.460 --> 00:22:49.179
 I feel

00:22:49.179 --> 00:22:49.559
 his

00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:50.019
 pleasure

00:22:50.019 --> 00:22:53.759
 his work

00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:54.419
 was to

00:22:54.419 --> 00:22:54.740
 run

00:22:54.740 --> 00:22:55.399
 with joy

00:22:55.399 --> 00:22:55.819
 and to

00:22:56.860 --> 00:22:57.200
 gave

00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:57.380
 him

00:22:57.380 --> 00:22:57.600
 the
