00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.080
 It's good to be with you this morning.

00:00:03.660 --> 00:00:05.179
 It's good to be here with you guys,

00:00:05.179 --> 00:00:08.480
 to bring God's word to you.

00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:13.040
 Yeah, I just want to say Brittany and I

00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:15.300
! and our family, we have delighted in being here.

00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:17.019
 It's almost been a year now.

00:00:17.219 --> 00:00:20.940
 We've been loving getting to know each one of you

00:00:20.940 --> 00:00:23.260
 in this church and the countless ways

00:00:23.260 --> 00:00:25.219
 you guys have served us and our family

00:00:25.219 --> 00:00:26.820
 in this season that we've had.

00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:29.240
 So I can't thank you guys enough for that.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.559
 So I hope this morning then

00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:36.380
 this word will bring you great courage

00:00:36.380 --> 00:00:37.799
 and it will build us up this morning.

00:00:37.899 --> 00:00:42.019
 So let's now stand together as I read the word for us.

00:00:43.100 --> 00:00:45.980
 We're in Matthew chapter 9,

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:49.120
 verses 1 through 17 this morning.

00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:51.140
 If you don't have a Bible,

00:00:51.260 --> 00:00:55.060
 we have some extra Bibles in the back table there.

00:00:55.299 --> 00:00:57.320
 If you need a Bible, want a Bible,

00:00:57.820 --> 00:00:58.939
 someone can get it to you.

00:00:58.960 --> 00:00:59.820
 So would you raise your hand?

00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:00.899
 Can you hand actually for us real quick?

00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:02.439
 No?

00:01:02.659 --> 00:01:02.899
 Okay.

00:01:03.020 --> 00:01:03.520
 Okay, great.

00:01:03.859 --> 00:01:04.060
 Great.

00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:06.920
 So again, Matthew chapter 9,

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.079
 verses 1 through 17.

00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:15.560
 And getting into a boat,

00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:17.879
 he crossed over and came to his own city.

00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:21.280
 And behold, some people brought to him a paralytic,

00:01:21.539 --> 00:01:22.579
 lying on a bed.

00:01:23.259 --> 00:01:24.620
 And when Jesus saw their faith,

00:01:24.679 --> 00:01:25.439
 he said to the paralytic,

00:01:25.659 --> 00:01:26.980
 take heart, my son,

00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:28.459
 your sins are forgiven.

00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:29.700
 And behold,

00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:32.000
 some of the scribes said to themselves,

00:01:32.259 --> 00:01:33.599
 this man is blaspheming.

00:01:34.039 --> 00:01:34.780
 But Jesus,

00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:36.219
 knowing their thoughts,

00:01:36.340 --> 00:01:36.579
 said,

00:01:36.579 --> 00:01:38.899
 why do you think evil in your hearts?

00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:40.599
 For which is easier to say,

00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:41.599
 your sins are forgiven,

00:01:41.939 --> 00:01:42.519
 or to say,

00:01:42.700 --> 00:01:43.879
 rise and walk.

00:01:44.299 --> 00:01:45.679
 But that you may know

00:01:45.679 --> 00:01:46.939
 that the Son of Man

00:01:46.939 --> 00:01:47.859
 has authority on earth

00:01:47.859 --> 00:01:49.140
 to forgive sins.

00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:50.700
 He then said to the paralytic,

00:01:51.039 --> 00:01:51.599
 rise,

00:01:51.780 --> 00:01:52.620
 pick up your bed,

00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:53.439
 and go home.

00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:54.680
 And he rose

00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:55.620
 and went home.

00:01:56.219 --> 00:01:57.400
 And when the crowd saw it,

00:01:57.420 --> 00:01:58.200
 they were afraid,

00:01:58.420 --> 00:01:59.640
 and they glorified God,

00:01:59.739 --> 00:02:01.700
 who had given such authority to men.

00:02:02.700 --> 00:02:04.519
 And as Jesus passed on from there,

00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:06.340
 he saw a man called Matthew

00:02:06.340 --> 00:02:08.000
 sitting at the tax booth.

00:02:08.780 --> 00:02:09.659
 And he said to him,

00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:10.599
 follow me.

00:02:11.099 --> 00:02:12.800
 And he rose and followed him.

00:02:13.740 --> 00:02:15.120
 And as Jesus reclined

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:16.400
 at the table in the house,

00:02:16.780 --> 00:02:17.180
 behold,

00:02:17.480 --> 00:02:19.120
 many tax collectors and sinners

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:20.539
 came and were reclining

00:02:20.539 --> 00:02:21.860
 with Jesus and his disciples.

00:02:22.819 --> 00:02:24.680
 And when the Pharisees saw this,

00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:25.879
 they said to the disciples,

00:02:26.180 --> 00:02:27.719
 why does your teacher

00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:29.560
 eat with tax collectors and sinners?

00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:31.479
 But when he heard it,

00:02:31.539 --> 00:02:31.920
 he said,

00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:33.379
 those who are well

00:02:33.379 --> 00:02:34.920
 have no need of a physician,

00:02:35.379 --> 00:02:36.680
 but those who are sick,

00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:38.879
 go and learn what this means.

00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:40.680
 I desire mercy

00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:42.159
 and not sacrifice.

00:02:42.539 --> 00:02:43.800
 For I came not to call

00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:44.280
 the righteous,

00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:45.319
 but sinners.

00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:48.640
 Then the disciples of John

00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:49.539
 came to him saying,

00:02:50.060 --> 00:02:52.099
 why do we and the Pharisees fast?

00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.180
 But your disciples do not fast.

00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:55.840
 And Jesus said to them,

00:02:56.219 --> 00:02:57.740
 can the wedding guests mourn

00:02:57.740 --> 00:02:58.980
 as long as the bridegroom

00:02:58.979 --> 00:02:59.560
 is with them?

00:03:00.139 --> 00:03:01.219
 The days will come

00:03:01.219 --> 00:03:01.859
 when the bridegroom

00:03:01.859 --> 00:03:03.039
 is taken away from them

00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:04.619
 and then they will fast.

00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:06.399
 No one puts a piece

00:03:06.399 --> 00:03:07.299
 of unshrunk cloth

00:03:07.299 --> 00:03:08.079
 on an old garment

00:03:08.079 --> 00:03:09.599
 for the patch tears away

00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:10.139
 from the garment

00:03:10.139 --> 00:03:11.759
 and a worse tear is made.

00:03:12.620 --> 00:03:13.659
 Neither is new wine

00:03:13.659 --> 00:03:14.979
 put into old wineskins.

00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:16.839
 If it is,

00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:18.000
 the skins burst

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:19.280
 and the wine is spilled

00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:20.519
 and the skins are destroyed.

00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:21.699
 But new wine

00:03:21.699 --> 00:03:23.399
 is put into fresh wineskins

00:03:23.399 --> 00:03:25.379
 and so both are preserved.

00:03:26.819 --> 00:03:27.819
 May the Lord add

00:03:27.819 --> 00:03:28.919
 a blessing to his word.

00:03:30.180 --> 00:03:31.120
 You guys can sit down.

00:03:34.780 --> 00:03:35.919
 And I'm going to pray

00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:36.959
 real quick for us

00:03:36.959 --> 00:03:40.539
 as we launch into this sermon.

00:03:40.859 --> 00:03:41.859
 Lord, thank you.

00:03:42.079 --> 00:03:43.159
 Thank you for your word.

00:03:46.620 --> 00:03:47.780
 Thank you for giving us

00:03:47.780 --> 00:03:49.459
 all things for life

00:03:49.459 --> 00:03:49.959
 and godliness.

00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:52.819
 Thank you for your son, Jesus.

00:03:52.819 --> 00:03:54.780
 Father,

00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:56.319
 help us this morning

00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:57.939
 to see your word.

00:03:58.979 --> 00:03:59.979
 Open the eyes

00:03:59.979 --> 00:04:00.840
 of our hearts, Lord,

00:04:01.340 --> 00:04:02.159
 to conform us

00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:02.859
 to your image,

00:04:03.139 --> 00:04:03.840
 to make us

00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:04.900
 more like you,

00:04:05.099 --> 00:04:06.319
 to throw off our flesh

00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:07.560
 and put on the new,

00:04:08.060 --> 00:04:09.579
 to walk in step

00:04:09.579 --> 00:04:10.199
 with your spirit.

00:04:10.299 --> 00:04:10.680
 We pray.

00:04:11.139 --> 00:04:11.439
 Amen.

00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:11.539
 Amen.

00:04:11.539 --> 00:04:17.139
 So this morning

00:04:17.139 --> 00:04:19.300
 we have these three stories,

00:04:19.939 --> 00:04:21.699
 three different scenes

00:04:21.699 --> 00:04:22.980
 you have most likely

00:04:22.980 --> 00:04:23.719
 heard,

00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:24.740
 taught on individually

00:04:24.740 --> 00:04:25.699
 at different times,

00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:27.279
 drawing out the small details

00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:28.539
 of each account.

00:04:29.500 --> 00:04:30.379
 But today we are going to be

00:04:30.379 --> 00:04:31.259
 looking at these three accounts

00:04:31.259 --> 00:04:31.719
 together

00:04:31.719 --> 00:04:32.579
 and I believe

00:04:32.579 --> 00:04:33.379
 we will find

00:04:33.379 --> 00:04:34.420
 that they are all

00:04:34.420 --> 00:04:35.439
 more interconnected

00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:37.079
 than we first realized.

00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:39.079
 I want you to see

00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:40.019
 that these are narrated

00:04:40.019 --> 00:04:40.740
 not so much

00:04:40.740 --> 00:04:41.799
 for the small details

00:04:41.799 --> 00:04:42.859
 that we are accustomed to

00:04:42.859 --> 00:04:43.879
 of each event

00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.419
 but for the radical pronouncements

00:04:46.419 --> 00:04:48.079
 made by Jesus

00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:49.579
 to which they give rise.

00:04:50.599 --> 00:04:51.879
 And radical they are.

00:04:52.139 --> 00:04:52.899
 They are radical

00:04:52.899 --> 00:04:54.500
 especially for the Jewish audience

00:04:54.500 --> 00:04:55.799
 that he is speaking to

00:04:55.799 --> 00:04:56.379
 here today.

00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:58.199
 For the first time

00:04:58.199 --> 00:04:59.479
 the kingdom of God

00:04:59.479 --> 00:04:59.899
 we see

00:04:59.899 --> 00:05:00.959
 Jesus that is

00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:01.819
 the kingdom of God

00:05:01.819 --> 00:05:03.299
 that Jesus is ushering in

00:05:03.299 --> 00:05:04.939
 begins to encounter

00:05:04.939 --> 00:05:06.539
 overt criticism

00:05:06.539 --> 00:05:08.439
 from traditional Jewish piety.

00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.019
 So this morning

00:05:11.019 --> 00:05:12.199
 as we walk

00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:13.439
 through each of these

00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:14.120
 different scenes

00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:14.920
 my hope is that

00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:15.660
 you will see

00:05:15.660 --> 00:05:16.800
 Jesus Christ

00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:17.899
 didn't come

00:05:17.899 --> 00:05:19.500
 to receive our sacrifices.

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:20.720
 He came

00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:22.180
 to show mercy.

00:05:22.779 --> 00:05:23.459
 He came

00:05:23.459 --> 00:05:24.079
 to be

00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:25.199
 our sacrifice.

00:05:26.620 --> 00:05:26.879
 Again

00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:27.159
 that's

00:05:27.159 --> 00:05:27.939
 Jesus Christ

00:05:27.939 --> 00:05:28.579
 didn't come

00:05:28.579 --> 00:05:29.860
 to receive our sacrifices

00:05:29.860 --> 00:05:30.939
 but he came

00:05:30.939 --> 00:05:32.019
 to show mercy

00:05:32.019 --> 00:05:33.439
 and he came

00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:34.060
 to be

00:05:34.060 --> 00:05:35.240
 our sacrifice.

00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:35.439
 sacrifice.

00:05:36.340 --> 00:05:37.160
 So let

00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:38.000
 let us then

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:38.860
 dive into

00:05:38.860 --> 00:05:40.180
 the scene one

00:05:40.180 --> 00:05:40.500
 here

00:05:40.500 --> 00:05:41.579
 our first point

00:05:41.579 --> 00:05:42.879
 the authority

00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:44.220
 to forgive sin.

00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:47.019
 In verses

00:05:47.019 --> 00:05:47.900
 one through eight

00:05:47.900 --> 00:05:48.819
 here we see

00:05:48.819 --> 00:05:50.079
 Matthew telling

00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:50.579
 his readers

00:05:50.579 --> 00:05:51.540
 of his account

00:05:51.540 --> 00:05:52.540
 of the healing

00:05:52.540 --> 00:05:53.660
 of the paralytic man.

00:05:54.500 --> 00:05:55.340
 Jesus leaving

00:05:55.340 --> 00:05:56.360
 the guardians

00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:57.660
 to get into a boat

00:05:57.660 --> 00:05:58.600
 to cross back

00:05:58.600 --> 00:05:59.699
 over to the sea

00:05:59.699 --> 00:06:00.300
 of Galilee

00:06:00.300 --> 00:06:01.560
 to his hometown

00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:02.400
 Capernaum

00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:02.939
 where he did

00:06:02.939 --> 00:06:03.920
 most of his ministry

00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:04.640
 he resided

00:06:04.640 --> 00:06:05.340
 at this time.

00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:06.640
 The town

00:06:06.640 --> 00:06:08.000
 that actually

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:08.740
 welcomed him

00:06:08.740 --> 00:06:09.420
 compared to

00:06:09.420 --> 00:06:09.980
 the guardians

00:06:09.980 --> 00:06:11.259
 the guardians

00:06:11.259 --> 00:06:12.500
 didn't want him

00:06:12.500 --> 00:06:13.060
 they wanted him

00:06:13.060 --> 00:06:13.600
 to leave

00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:14.680
 but Capernaum

00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:15.560
 we see people

00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:16.540
 coming to him

00:06:16.540 --> 00:06:17.540
 wanting to hear

00:06:17.540 --> 00:06:18.740
 more from him

00:06:18.740 --> 00:06:19.520
 to interact

00:06:19.520 --> 00:06:19.860
 with him

00:06:19.860 --> 00:06:20.580
 to meet him

00:06:20.580 --> 00:06:21.280
 they wanted

00:06:21.280 --> 00:06:21.840
 to hear

00:06:21.840 --> 00:06:22.660
 his teaching

00:06:22.660 --> 00:06:24.280
 so people

00:06:24.280 --> 00:06:24.720
 are coming

00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:25.500
 to Jesus

00:06:25.500 --> 00:06:26.800
 they want

00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:27.460
 to hear

00:06:27.460 --> 00:06:28.819
 from Jesus

00:06:28.819 --> 00:06:30.840
 so the story

00:06:30.840 --> 00:06:31.680
 of the paralytic man

00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:32.759
 often involves

00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:34.680
 the description

00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:35.779
 of immense crowds

00:06:35.779 --> 00:06:36.439
 coming around

00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:36.959
 the house

00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:38.240
 and this paralytic man

00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:38.599
 coming

00:06:38.599 --> 00:06:39.860
 carried by his

00:06:39.860 --> 00:06:40.519
 three friends

00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:41.099
 and lowering him

00:06:41.099 --> 00:06:41.699
 into the house

00:06:41.699 --> 00:06:42.819
 ripping open the ceiling

00:06:42.819 --> 00:06:43.459
 and all the dirt

00:06:43.459 --> 00:06:44.139
 falling in

00:06:44.139 --> 00:06:45.159
 and Jesus seeing this

00:06:45.159 --> 00:06:46.519
 we usually have

00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:47.219
 all of that

00:06:47.219 --> 00:06:48.060
 in description

00:06:48.060 --> 00:06:50.099
 but most of the time

00:06:50.099 --> 00:06:50.599
 it's referenced

00:06:50.599 --> 00:06:51.699
 from the gospel of Luke

00:06:51.699 --> 00:06:53.139
 who gives much more detail

00:06:53.139 --> 00:06:53.819
 than Matthew

00:06:53.819 --> 00:06:55.199
 so this prompts

00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:55.839
 the question then

00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:56.300
 for us

00:06:56.300 --> 00:06:57.539
 as we look at this text

00:06:57.539 --> 00:06:58.339
 why?

00:06:58.339 --> 00:07:00.379
 why does Matthew

00:07:00.379 --> 00:07:01.879
 leave out most

00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:02.519
 of these details?

00:07:04.139 --> 00:07:04.739
 and I believe

00:07:04.739 --> 00:07:05.319
 that Matthew

00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:05.899
 this morning

00:07:05.899 --> 00:07:07.219
 today

00:07:07.219 --> 00:07:08.039
 wants us

00:07:08.039 --> 00:07:09.459
 to see

00:07:09.459 --> 00:07:10.879
 there's an important

00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:11.419
 interaction

00:07:11.419 --> 00:07:12.079
 that's happening here

00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:12.839
 he gets down

00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:13.799
 to the specifics

00:07:13.799 --> 00:07:16.179
 and the specifics

00:07:16.179 --> 00:07:16.539
 here

00:07:16.539 --> 00:07:17.319
 he wants us to see

00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:17.699
 I believe

00:07:17.699 --> 00:07:18.339
 is that Jesus

00:07:18.339 --> 00:07:19.739
 has the authority

00:07:19.739 --> 00:07:20.699
 to forgive sins

00:07:20.699 --> 00:07:23.359
 and this is the first time

00:07:23.359 --> 00:07:24.419
 in the gospel of Matthew

00:07:24.419 --> 00:07:24.959
 that we actually

00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:25.799
 get to see that

00:07:25.799 --> 00:07:26.839
 we see Jesus

00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:27.939
 doing such a thing

00:07:27.939 --> 00:07:28.959
 the first time

00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:29.459
 he does

00:07:29.459 --> 00:07:30.839
 forgive someone

00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:31.419
 an individual

00:07:31.419 --> 00:07:32.279
 of their sin

00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:34.679
 we have though

00:07:34.679 --> 00:07:35.599
 seen that he holds

00:07:35.599 --> 00:07:36.079
 a unique

00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:37.459
 authoritative teaching

00:07:37.459 --> 00:07:38.939
 he holds

00:07:38.939 --> 00:07:39.579
 the authority

00:07:39.579 --> 00:07:41.159
 over all of the cosmos

00:07:41.159 --> 00:07:42.699
 healing ailments

00:07:42.699 --> 00:07:43.879
 calming storms

00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:45.219
 and casting out demons

00:07:45.219 --> 00:07:47.500
 but one could even

00:07:47.500 --> 00:07:48.399
 be a prophet

00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:49.679
 sent by God

00:07:49.679 --> 00:07:51.559
 and do these things

00:07:51.559 --> 00:07:53.739
 Moses parted

00:07:53.739 --> 00:07:54.359
 the Red Sea

00:07:54.359 --> 00:07:54.919
 as we see

00:07:54.919 --> 00:07:55.799
 in Exodus 14

00:07:55.799 --> 00:07:56.759
 Elijah healed

00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:57.560
 the widow's son

00:07:57.560 --> 00:07:59.259
 in 1 Kings

00:07:59.259 --> 00:08:01.180
 but Jesus

00:08:01.180 --> 00:08:03.379
 Jesus is no

00:08:03.379 --> 00:08:04.399
 ordinary man

00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:05.599
 no ordinary prophet

00:08:05.599 --> 00:08:06.980
 Jesus is the only

00:08:06.980 --> 00:08:07.959
 one of the prophets

00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:08.839
 priests

00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:09.539
 kings

00:08:09.539 --> 00:08:10.920
 to ever speak

00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:11.519
 and act

00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:12.319
 with such authority

00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:12.939
 as we're seeing

00:08:12.939 --> 00:08:13.480
 here today

00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.000
 he doesn't need

00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:16.779
 a staff

00:08:16.779 --> 00:08:18.680
 that God gave

00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:19.420
 and instructed him

00:08:19.420 --> 00:08:19.980
 to use

00:08:19.980 --> 00:08:20.980
 he doesn't need

00:08:20.980 --> 00:08:22.180
 to ask God

00:08:22.180 --> 00:08:22.639
 for the power

00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:23.120
 to heal

00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:24.379
 or cast out demons

00:08:24.379 --> 00:08:25.959
 and now

00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:26.800
 right now

00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:27.240
 we're seeing

00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:27.779
 that he doesn't

00:08:27.779 --> 00:08:28.920
 need the temple

00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:29.360
 system

00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:31.219
 the Judaism

00:08:31.219 --> 00:08:32.059
 temple system

00:08:32.059 --> 00:08:32.840
 of sacrifice

00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:34.039
 to forgive

00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:35.379
 someone of their sin

00:08:35.379 --> 00:08:36.519
 as he says here

00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:37.840
 take heart

00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:38.700
 my son

00:08:38.700 --> 00:08:39.740
 and know

00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:40.539
 that your sons

00:08:40.539 --> 00:08:41.220
 your sins

00:08:41.220 --> 00:08:41.679
 are forgiven

00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:43.480
 this was not

00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:44.220
 just a future

00:08:44.220 --> 00:08:44.939
 forgiveness

00:08:44.940 --> 00:08:47.620
 this was instantaneous

00:08:47.620 --> 00:08:49.120
 your sins

00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:50.340
 are forgiven

00:08:50.340 --> 00:08:52.060
 the paralytic

00:08:52.060 --> 00:08:53.080
 was reaping

00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:53.560
 the benefits

00:08:53.560 --> 00:08:54.280
 of that forgiveness

00:08:54.280 --> 00:08:55.100
 immediately

00:08:55.100 --> 00:08:57.240
 he did nothing

00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:57.520
 though

00:08:57.520 --> 00:08:58.480
 to receive it

00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.820
 he did nothing

00:09:01.820 --> 00:09:03.800
 but there's

00:09:03.800 --> 00:09:04.740
 no only one way

00:09:04.740 --> 00:09:05.740
 that this is possible

00:09:05.740 --> 00:09:07.160
 there's only one way

00:09:07.160 --> 00:09:07.800
 that it's possible

00:09:07.800 --> 00:09:08.380
 for Jesus

00:09:08.380 --> 00:09:09.360
 to forgive

00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:10.000
 this paralytic

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:10.539
 sins

00:09:10.539 --> 00:09:12.679
 which is why

00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:13.539
 it doesn't sit

00:09:13.539 --> 00:09:15.200
 well with the scribes

00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:16.000
 who are watching

00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:17.159
 this happen

00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:18.000
 right before them

00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:19.679
 they say

00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:20.539
 this man is

00:09:20.539 --> 00:09:21.299
 blaspheming

00:09:21.299 --> 00:09:23.000
 because Jesus

00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:24.259
 is doing

00:09:24.259 --> 00:09:25.700
 only what God

00:09:25.700 --> 00:09:26.299
 can do

00:09:26.299 --> 00:09:27.759
 what only God

00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:28.620
 alone can do

00:09:28.620 --> 00:09:29.220
 and that is

00:09:29.220 --> 00:09:30.559
 forgive sins

00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:31.799
 as Psalm

00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:32.659
 130

00:09:32.659 --> 00:09:33.559
 verses 3

00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:33.980
 through 4

00:09:33.980 --> 00:09:34.279
 says

00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:35.039
 if you

00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:35.740
 oh Lord

00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:36.860
 should mark

00:09:36.860 --> 00:09:37.419
 iniquities

00:09:37.419 --> 00:09:38.120
 oh Lord

00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:39.379
 who could stand

00:09:39.379 --> 00:09:41.399
 but

00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:42.399
 with you

00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:42.919
 there is

00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:43.480
 forgiveness

00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:44.899
 that you

00:09:44.899 --> 00:09:45.620
 may be feared

00:09:45.620 --> 00:09:46.799
 so it was

00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:47.899
 clearly known

00:09:47.899 --> 00:09:49.539
 that this was

00:09:49.539 --> 00:09:50.259
 the prerogative

00:09:50.259 --> 00:09:51.220
 of God alone

00:09:51.220 --> 00:09:53.740
 no ordinary

00:09:53.740 --> 00:09:54.720
 created being

00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:55.559
 could do this

00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:56.439
 so this

00:09:56.439 --> 00:09:57.879
 so any

00:09:57.879 --> 00:09:58.399
 ordinary

00:09:58.399 --> 00:09:59.100
 created being

00:09:59.100 --> 00:10:00.600
 that makes

00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:01.279
 this claim

00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:02.519
 puts himself

00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:03.620
 into the creator's

00:10:03.620 --> 00:10:04.159
 place here

00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:06.100
 yet

00:10:06.100 --> 00:10:06.980
 as we have seen

00:10:06.980 --> 00:10:08.100
 have been seeing

00:10:08.100 --> 00:10:08.720
 in this gospel

00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:09.740
 Jesus is

00:10:09.740 --> 00:10:10.620
 no ordinary

00:10:10.620 --> 00:10:11.040
 man

00:10:11.040 --> 00:10:13.100
 Jesus calls

00:10:13.100 --> 00:10:13.740
 them out

00:10:13.740 --> 00:10:14.920
 calls these

00:10:14.920 --> 00:10:15.580
 Pharisees out

00:10:15.580 --> 00:10:16.620
 these scribes

00:10:16.620 --> 00:10:17.160
 for their

00:10:17.160 --> 00:10:18.200
 unbelieving hearts

00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:18.779
 and his

00:10:18.779 --> 00:10:19.980
 accusation of

00:10:19.980 --> 00:10:20.740
 breaking the

00:10:20.740 --> 00:10:21.500
 third commandment

00:10:21.500 --> 00:10:22.740
 why do you

00:10:22.740 --> 00:10:23.420
 think evil

00:10:23.420 --> 00:10:24.240
 in your hearts

00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:25.860
 and he responds

00:10:25.860 --> 00:10:26.200
 with this

00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:27.379
 rhetorical question

00:10:27.379 --> 00:10:28.440
 for which is

00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:29.700
 easier to say

00:10:29.700 --> 00:10:31.360
 your sins

00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:31.960
 are forgiven

00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:33.920
 or rise

00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:35.779
 and walk

00:10:35.779 --> 00:10:38.139
 I mean

00:10:38.139 --> 00:10:39.599
 of course

00:10:39.599 --> 00:10:41.079
 between these

00:10:41.079 --> 00:10:41.360
 two

00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:43.240
 it is easier

00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:44.099
 for one to say

00:10:44.099 --> 00:10:45.620
 your sins

00:10:45.620 --> 00:10:46.059
 are forgiven

00:10:46.059 --> 00:10:48.179
 since divine

00:10:48.179 --> 00:10:48.699
 forgiveness

00:10:48.699 --> 00:10:49.339
 of sin

00:10:49.339 --> 00:10:50.419
 cannot be

00:10:50.419 --> 00:10:50.919
 verified

00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:52.319
 or falsified

00:10:52.319 --> 00:10:52.659
 on this

00:10:52.659 --> 00:10:53.459
 side of heaven

00:10:53.459 --> 00:10:53.740
 right

00:10:53.740 --> 00:10:56.360
 but physical

00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:56.979
 healing

00:10:56.979 --> 00:10:58.120
 can be tested

00:10:58.120 --> 00:10:58.659
 it is

00:10:58.659 --> 00:10:59.339
 empirical

00:10:59.340 --> 00:11:01.940
 the proof

00:11:01.940 --> 00:11:02.460
 is in the

00:11:02.460 --> 00:11:02.680
 pudding

00:11:02.680 --> 00:11:03.000
 as some

00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:03.200
 people

00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:03.580
 will say

00:11:03.580 --> 00:11:05.720
 so today

00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:07.280
 one is

00:11:07.280 --> 00:11:07.600
 healed

00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:08.420
 but

00:11:08.420 --> 00:11:09.460
 if he's

00:11:09.460 --> 00:11:09.759
 healed

00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:12.240
 then we can

00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:12.680
 measure it

00:11:12.680 --> 00:11:13.399
 we can see it

00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:14.519
 but if he's

00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:14.980
 not healed

00:11:14.980 --> 00:11:15.480
 he's not

00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:15.700
 healed

00:11:15.700 --> 00:11:16.200
 we can see

00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:16.460
 that

00:11:16.460 --> 00:11:17.620
 so it

00:11:17.620 --> 00:11:18.060
 makes that

00:11:18.060 --> 00:11:18.740
 man a liar

00:11:18.740 --> 00:11:19.280
 if he is

00:11:19.280 --> 00:11:19.780
 not healed

00:11:19.780 --> 00:11:20.580
 and it

00:11:20.580 --> 00:11:21.300
 makes him

00:11:21.300 --> 00:11:21.899
 be crazy

00:11:21.899 --> 00:11:24.919
 so to show

00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:25.419
 them that

00:11:25.419 --> 00:11:25.879
 this

00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:26.500
 that he

00:11:26.500 --> 00:11:27.340
 actually has

00:11:27.340 --> 00:11:28.179
 the power

00:11:28.179 --> 00:11:28.799
 and his

00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:29.379
 declaration

00:11:29.379 --> 00:11:30.139
 of divine

00:11:30.139 --> 00:11:30.559
 forgiveness

00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:31.480
 is not just

00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:32.639
 wishful thinking

00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:33.439
 not just some

00:11:33.439 --> 00:11:35.139
 Disney fairy tale

00:11:35.139 --> 00:11:35.600
 that he's

00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:37.039
 conjuring up here

00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.259
 no he declares

00:11:39.259 --> 00:11:39.620
 then

00:11:39.620 --> 00:11:40.840
 the paralytic

00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:41.199
 healed

00:11:41.199 --> 00:11:42.319
 and not only

00:11:42.319 --> 00:11:43.019
 does he send

00:11:43.019 --> 00:11:43.559
 him on his

00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:43.819
 way

00:11:43.819 --> 00:11:44.360
 but I find

00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:45.039
 this humorous

00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:46.019
 but he picks

00:11:46.019 --> 00:11:46.679
 up his own

00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:47.419
 bed on his

00:11:47.419 --> 00:11:47.879
 way out

00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:50.159
 he carries

00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:50.679
 his own

00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:51.019
 bed

00:11:51.019 --> 00:11:51.659
 and goes

00:11:51.659 --> 00:11:51.939
 home

00:11:51.939 --> 00:11:53.579
 that's a

00:11:53.579 --> 00:11:54.439
 pretty incredible

00:11:54.439 --> 00:11:55.860
 measure of

00:11:55.860 --> 00:11:56.159
 healing

00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:57.399
 like

00:11:57.399 --> 00:11:58.500
 he's not

00:11:58.500 --> 00:11:59.059
 only just

00:11:59.059 --> 00:11:59.579
 healed from

00:11:59.579 --> 00:12:00.379
 being paralyzed

00:12:00.379 --> 00:12:01.819
 which if you

00:12:01.819 --> 00:12:02.360
 guys know

00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:02.919
 in physical

00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:03.360
 therapy

00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:03.879
 I mean most

00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:04.299
 of you know

00:12:04.299 --> 00:12:05.100
 we've had

00:12:05.100 --> 00:12:05.759
 church members

00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:06.259
 here going

00:12:06.259 --> 00:12:06.919
 through physical

00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:07.240
 therapy

00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:07.720
 it takes

00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:08.419
 months for

00:12:08.419 --> 00:12:09.100
 some minor

00:12:09.100 --> 00:12:10.220
 injuries or

00:12:10.220 --> 00:12:10.819
 surgeries that

00:12:10.819 --> 00:12:11.279
 you go through

00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:11.579
 it takes

00:12:11.579 --> 00:12:12.100
 months even

00:12:12.100 --> 00:12:12.740
 years to

00:12:12.740 --> 00:12:14.299
 find rehabilitation

00:12:14.299 --> 00:12:16.279
 but you

00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:16.819
 suffer something

00:12:16.819 --> 00:12:17.620
 major like

00:12:17.620 --> 00:12:18.879
 being paralyzed

00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:20.179
 it could take

00:12:20.179 --> 00:12:20.799
 a lifetime

00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:21.740
 if you are

00:12:21.740 --> 00:12:22.199
 to even

00:12:22.199 --> 00:12:23.259
 see progress

00:12:23.259 --> 00:12:25.259
 so this

00:12:25.259 --> 00:12:26.179
 guy gets

00:12:26.179 --> 00:12:26.620
 up and

00:12:26.620 --> 00:12:26.839
 literally

00:12:26.839 --> 00:12:27.679
 carries his

00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:28.419
 bed out

00:12:28.419 --> 00:12:30.719
 so the

00:12:30.719 --> 00:12:31.399
 crowd here

00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:31.759
 has a

00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:33.099
 right response

00:12:33.099 --> 00:12:34.399
 they respond

00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:35.199
 correctly

00:12:35.199 --> 00:12:36.319
 and they

00:12:36.319 --> 00:12:37.740
 have awe

00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:38.240
 they have

00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:38.779
 fear

00:12:38.779 --> 00:12:39.399
 and they

00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:39.979
 see that

00:12:39.979 --> 00:12:41.259
 God is at

00:12:41.259 --> 00:12:41.959
 work here

00:12:41.959 --> 00:12:43.779
 they see

00:12:43.779 --> 00:12:44.639
 that Jesus

00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:46.159
 has the

00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:46.620
 authority

00:12:46.620 --> 00:12:47.039
 and the

00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:47.620
 power to

00:12:47.620 --> 00:12:48.459
 forgive sins

00:12:48.459 --> 00:12:49.219
 and they bring

00:12:49.219 --> 00:12:49.959
 praise to

00:12:49.959 --> 00:12:50.240
 God

00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:52.879
 we could

00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:53.379
 go on

00:12:53.379 --> 00:12:53.639
 and I

00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:53.960
 could say

00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:54.200
 a lot

00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:54.560
 more about

00:12:54.560 --> 00:12:55.080
 this passage

00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:55.759
 but what

00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:56.480
 Matthew wants

00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:57.399
 us to take

00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:57.879
 away from

00:12:57.879 --> 00:12:58.279
 this event

00:12:58.279 --> 00:12:58.680
 is that

00:12:58.680 --> 00:13:00.240
 Jesus holds

00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:00.960
 the divine

00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:01.399
 authority

00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:02.039
 to forgive

00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:02.500
 sins

00:13:02.500 --> 00:13:04.259
 Jesus

00:13:04.259 --> 00:13:05.039
 begins to

00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:05.840
 show the

00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:07.159
 great magnitude

00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:08.500
 of mercy

00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:09.519
 he brings

00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:10.659
 in this new

00:13:10.659 --> 00:13:11.279
 kingdom he is

00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:11.860
 ushering in

00:13:11.860 --> 00:13:13.460
 he may heal

00:13:13.460 --> 00:13:14.159
 us when we

00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:14.720
 are ill

00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:16.279
 but he

00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:17.019
 came to

00:13:17.019 --> 00:13:17.779
 fundamentally

00:13:17.779 --> 00:13:18.720
 forgive us

00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:19.000
 of our

00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:19.360
 sins

00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:22.120
 so now

00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:22.340
 as we

00:13:22.340 --> 00:13:22.740
 move on

00:13:22.740 --> 00:13:23.160
 to this

00:13:23.160 --> 00:13:23.840
 next scene

00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:24.320
 this next

00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:24.779
 story in

00:13:24.779 --> 00:13:25.580
 verses 9

00:13:25.580 --> 00:13:26.320
 through 13

00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:26.860
 we'll see

00:13:26.860 --> 00:13:27.139
 that it

00:13:27.139 --> 00:13:27.660
 goes deeper

00:13:27.660 --> 00:13:28.259
 than that

00:13:28.259 --> 00:13:28.899
 it goes

00:13:28.899 --> 00:13:29.279
 deeper

00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:29.879
 still

00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:30.920
 Jesus not

00:13:30.920 --> 00:13:31.759
 only holds

00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:32.379
 this authority

00:13:32.379 --> 00:13:34.360
 but he has

00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:35.040
 the desire

00:13:35.040 --> 00:13:36.759
 his heart

00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:37.800
 is to

00:13:37.800 --> 00:13:38.379
 forgive

00:13:38.379 --> 00:13:39.139
 sinners

00:13:39.139 --> 00:13:40.000
 as we'll

00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:40.440
 see here

00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:40.779
 in point

00:13:40.779 --> 00:13:41.279
 number two

00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:42.200
 his heart

00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:42.920
 of mercy

00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:45.860
 so in

00:13:45.860 --> 00:13:46.259
 this next

00:13:46.259 --> 00:13:46.579
 scene

00:13:46.579 --> 00:13:46.939
 Jesus

00:13:46.939 --> 00:13:48.279
 makes the

00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:48.819
 next move

00:13:48.819 --> 00:13:49.120
 and he's

00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:50.099
 walking along

00:13:50.099 --> 00:13:50.819
 and he

00:13:50.819 --> 00:13:51.299
 calls

00:13:51.299 --> 00:13:52.099
 Matthew

00:13:52.099 --> 00:13:53.179
 he calls

00:13:53.179 --> 00:13:53.659
 a tax

00:13:53.659 --> 00:13:54.059
 collector

00:13:54.059 --> 00:13:54.639
 and he

00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:55.039
 says to

00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:55.419
 this tax

00:13:55.419 --> 00:13:55.740
 collector

00:13:55.740 --> 00:13:56.459
 come

00:13:56.459 --> 00:13:57.579
 follow me

00:13:57.579 --> 00:13:59.459
 now

00:13:59.459 --> 00:14:00.939
 you guys

00:14:00.939 --> 00:14:01.559
 probably know

00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:02.279
 a little bit

00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:02.899
 about tax

00:14:02.899 --> 00:14:03.219
 collectors

00:14:03.219 --> 00:14:03.519
 in the

00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:03.759
 Bible

00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:04.439
 they were

00:14:04.439 --> 00:14:04.819
 they were

00:14:04.819 --> 00:14:05.279
 not the

00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:05.819
 most loved

00:14:05.819 --> 00:14:06.419
 people in

00:14:06.419 --> 00:14:07.019
 this time

00:14:07.019 --> 00:14:07.759
 during this

00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:08.059
 culture

00:14:08.059 --> 00:14:08.319
 in this

00:14:08.319 --> 00:14:08.839
 time period

00:14:08.839 --> 00:14:10.319
 you could

00:14:10.319 --> 00:14:10.599
 say

00:14:10.599 --> 00:14:11.480
 people probably

00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:11.839
 even found

00:14:11.839 --> 00:14:12.199
 them a little

00:14:12.199 --> 00:14:12.740
 bit loathing

00:14:12.740 --> 00:14:14.139
 repulsive

00:14:14.139 --> 00:14:15.639
 they had

00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:16.120
 disdain

00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:16.560
 for them

00:14:16.560 --> 00:14:17.519
 so even

00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:17.779
 today

00:14:17.779 --> 00:14:18.120
 I would

00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:18.279
 say

00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:19.100
 most of

00:14:19.100 --> 00:14:19.240
 us

00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:19.500
 probably

00:14:19.500 --> 00:14:19.879
 don't

00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:20.379
 enjoy

00:14:20.379 --> 00:14:21.060
 tax

00:14:21.060 --> 00:14:21.399
 collectors

00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:22.180
 or what

00:14:22.180 --> 00:14:22.759
 they represent

00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:23.220
 that is

00:14:23.220 --> 00:14:24.019
 the IRS

00:14:24.019 --> 00:14:24.940
 taxes

00:14:24.940 --> 00:14:25.919
 they're not

00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:26.480
 great

00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:29.120
 you know

00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:30.080
 and especially

00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:30.539
 saying this

00:14:30.539 --> 00:14:31.240
 here in

00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:31.659
 Boston

00:14:31.659 --> 00:14:32.299
 of all

00:14:32.299 --> 00:14:32.740
 places

00:14:32.740 --> 00:14:33.460
 Bostonians

00:14:33.460 --> 00:14:34.000
 can resonate

00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:34.759
 it wasn't

00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:35.100
 too long

00:14:35.100 --> 00:14:35.240
 ago

00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:35.460
 you know

00:14:35.460 --> 00:14:36.100
 Bostonians

00:14:36.100 --> 00:14:36.500
 tarred

00:14:36.500 --> 00:14:37.779
 tax collectors

00:14:37.779 --> 00:14:38.320
 right across

00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:38.779
 the river

00:14:38.779 --> 00:14:39.060
 here

00:14:39.060 --> 00:14:39.460
 and threw

00:14:39.460 --> 00:14:39.779
 a bunch

00:14:39.779 --> 00:14:40.820
 of tea

00:14:40.820 --> 00:14:41.200
 into the

00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:41.480
 harbor

00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:42.560
 to protest

00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:44.159
 the oppressive

00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:44.799
 regime that

00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:45.199
 they felt

00:14:45.199 --> 00:14:46.179
 from Britain

00:14:46.179 --> 00:14:47.659
 especially

00:14:47.659 --> 00:14:48.079
 from the

00:14:48.079 --> 00:14:48.699
 tax collectors

00:14:48.699 --> 00:14:49.939
 so the

00:14:49.939 --> 00:14:50.559
 tax collectors

00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:51.859
 in the

00:14:51.859 --> 00:14:52.539
 Roman Empire

00:14:52.539 --> 00:14:53.799
 ones like

00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:54.239
 Matthew

00:14:54.239 --> 00:14:55.819
 they could

00:14:55.819 --> 00:14:56.919
 assess

00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:58.559
 the goods

00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:00.379
 subjectively

00:15:00.379 --> 00:15:00.699
 they could

00:15:00.699 --> 00:15:01.319
 assess their

00:15:01.319 --> 00:15:02.419
 value subjectively

00:15:02.419 --> 00:15:02.819
 and they could

00:15:02.819 --> 00:15:03.339
 take whatever

00:15:03.339 --> 00:15:03.899
 they want

00:15:03.899 --> 00:15:05.859
 they could

00:15:05.859 --> 00:15:06.259
 take the

00:15:06.259 --> 00:15:06.659
 extra

00:15:06.659 --> 00:15:07.699
 on top

00:15:07.699 --> 00:15:08.399
 of what

00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:09.059
 they assess

00:15:09.059 --> 00:15:09.659
 and keep

00:15:09.659 --> 00:15:09.899
 it for

00:15:09.899 --> 00:15:10.339
 themselves

00:15:10.340 --> 00:15:11.920
 so this

00:15:11.920 --> 00:15:12.440
 created an

00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:13.080
 extra level

00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:13.639
 of disdain

00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:13.960
 for these

00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:14.440
 tax collectors

00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:15.300
 for the

00:15:15.300 --> 00:15:15.820
 Jewish people

00:15:15.820 --> 00:15:16.300
 especially

00:15:16.300 --> 00:15:17.600
 when one

00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:17.940
 was their

00:15:17.940 --> 00:15:18.240
 own

00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:20.300
 when one

00:15:20.300 --> 00:15:20.600
 was their

00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:20.860
 own

00:15:20.860 --> 00:15:21.100
 like

00:15:21.100 --> 00:15:21.580
 Matthew

00:15:21.580 --> 00:15:23.879
 supporting

00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:24.480
 the oppressive

00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:25.000
 regime

00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:25.780
 taking money

00:15:25.780 --> 00:15:26.100
 from his

00:15:26.100 --> 00:15:26.660
 own people

00:15:26.660 --> 00:15:27.620
 and giving

00:15:27.620 --> 00:15:28.000
 it to

00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:28.259
 Rome

00:15:28.259 --> 00:15:30.980
 so what

00:15:30.980 --> 00:15:31.960
 Jesus does

00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:32.280
 here

00:15:32.280 --> 00:15:33.420
 is rather

00:15:33.420 --> 00:15:34.120
 bold

00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:35.379
 and shocking

00:15:35.379 --> 00:15:36.660
 for his

00:15:36.660 --> 00:15:37.180
 audience

00:15:37.179 --> 00:15:40.079
 he calls

00:15:40.079 --> 00:15:40.739
 Matthew

00:15:40.739 --> 00:15:41.379
 a tax

00:15:41.379 --> 00:15:41.739
 collector

00:15:41.739 --> 00:15:43.319
 to be

00:15:43.319 --> 00:15:43.679
 one of

00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:44.199
 his own

00:15:44.199 --> 00:15:45.339
 to be

00:15:45.339 --> 00:15:45.620
 his

00:15:45.620 --> 00:15:46.120
 disciple

00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:47.879
 and more

00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:48.279
 than that

00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:48.500
 though

00:15:48.500 --> 00:15:49.359
 he doesn't

00:15:49.359 --> 00:15:49.879
 just call

00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:50.319
 Matthew

00:15:50.319 --> 00:15:51.919
 what do we

00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:52.479
 see next

00:15:52.479 --> 00:15:52.719
 that he

00:15:52.719 --> 00:15:53.099
 does

00:15:53.099 --> 00:15:54.019
 he's in

00:15:54.019 --> 00:15:54.479
 Matthew's

00:15:54.479 --> 00:15:54.799
 home

00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:55.839
 as we know

00:15:55.839 --> 00:15:56.439
 from context

00:15:56.439 --> 00:15:56.779
 from other

00:15:56.779 --> 00:15:57.139
 gospels

00:15:57.139 --> 00:15:57.699
 he's in

00:15:57.699 --> 00:15:58.179
 Matthew's

00:15:58.179 --> 00:15:58.399
 home

00:15:58.399 --> 00:15:59.399
 he's in

00:15:59.399 --> 00:15:59.799
 Matthew's

00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:00.039
 home

00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:00.859
 not just

00:16:00.859 --> 00:16:01.319
 there

00:16:01.319 --> 00:16:01.799
 present

00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:02.339
 but with

00:16:02.339 --> 00:16:02.639
 Matthew

00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:03.039
 alone

00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:03.599
 but he's

00:16:03.599 --> 00:16:03.919
 also

00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:04.879
 reclining

00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:06.039
 as Jesus

00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:06.959
 as Matthew

00:16:06.959 --> 00:16:07.240
 says

00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:07.439
 he's

00:16:07.439 --> 00:16:08.000
 reclining

00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:08.779
 at table

00:16:08.779 --> 00:16:10.419
 he's

00:16:10.419 --> 00:16:10.879
 dining

00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:11.779
 he's

00:16:11.779 --> 00:16:12.480
 feasting

00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:14.899
 but not

00:16:14.899 --> 00:16:15.240
 only with

00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:15.539
 Matthew

00:16:15.539 --> 00:16:16.319
 but with

00:16:16.319 --> 00:16:16.620
 other

00:16:16.620 --> 00:16:17.360
 tax collectors

00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:18.079
 other

00:16:18.079 --> 00:16:19.500
 other buddies

00:16:19.500 --> 00:16:20.099
 of Matthew's

00:16:20.099 --> 00:16:20.319
 that he

00:16:20.319 --> 00:16:20.959
 works with

00:16:20.959 --> 00:16:23.139
 with other

00:16:23.139 --> 00:16:23.959
 undesirable

00:16:23.959 --> 00:16:24.480
 sinners

00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:25.059
 as well

00:16:25.059 --> 00:16:27.819
 as one

00:16:27.819 --> 00:16:28.439
 commentator

00:16:28.439 --> 00:16:28.740
 said

00:16:28.740 --> 00:16:29.199
 these people

00:16:29.199 --> 00:16:29.599
 were the

00:16:29.599 --> 00:16:30.179
 undesirable

00:16:30.179 --> 00:16:30.839
 individuals

00:16:30.839 --> 00:16:31.500
 of Jewish

00:16:31.500 --> 00:16:32.039
 society

00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:33.399
 they were

00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:34.139
 most likely

00:16:34.139 --> 00:16:34.759
 Jewish

00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:35.419
 by upbringing

00:16:35.419 --> 00:16:36.099
 but did

00:16:36.099 --> 00:16:36.719
 not observe

00:16:36.719 --> 00:16:37.360
 the Jewish

00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:37.860
 rituals

00:16:37.860 --> 00:16:39.639
 they did

00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:40.079
 not go to

00:16:40.079 --> 00:16:40.439
 the temple

00:16:40.439 --> 00:16:40.839
 like they

00:16:40.839 --> 00:16:41.099
 should

00:16:41.099 --> 00:16:42.620
 they didn't

00:16:42.620 --> 00:16:43.259
 observe

00:16:43.259 --> 00:16:44.959
 the ordinances

00:16:44.959 --> 00:16:45.639
 the rituals

00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:46.279
 the forms

00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:46.559
 that they

00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:46.979
 should have

00:16:46.979 --> 00:16:48.419
 they were

00:16:48.419 --> 00:16:49.419
 unclean

00:16:49.419 --> 00:16:49.860
 sinners

00:16:49.860 --> 00:16:51.939
 so this

00:16:51.939 --> 00:16:52.319
 gives a

00:16:52.319 --> 00:16:52.779
 prime

00:16:52.779 --> 00:16:53.360
 opportunity

00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:54.039
 for just

00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:54.299
 more

00:16:54.299 --> 00:16:54.620
 tension

00:16:54.620 --> 00:16:54.979
 to build

00:16:54.979 --> 00:16:56.159
 for more

00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:57.059
 confrontation

00:16:57.059 --> 00:16:58.799
 once again

00:16:58.799 --> 00:16:59.500
 with Jesus

00:16:59.500 --> 00:17:00.279
 and the

00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:00.500
 Jewish

00:17:00.500 --> 00:17:00.879
 leaders

00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:01.319
 and this

00:17:01.319 --> 00:17:01.519
 time

00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:01.679
 it's

00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:01.839
 the

00:17:01.839 --> 00:17:02.339
 Pharisees

00:17:02.339 --> 00:17:02.659
 the

00:17:02.659 --> 00:17:03.000
 Pharisees

00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:03.179
 now

00:17:03.179 --> 00:17:03.339
 are

00:17:03.339 --> 00:17:03.599
 jumping

00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:03.779
 in

00:17:03.779 --> 00:17:04.180
 on this

00:17:04.180 --> 00:17:04.819
 they were

00:17:04.819 --> 00:17:05.059
 looking

00:17:05.059 --> 00:17:05.359
 in

00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:05.639
 and they

00:17:05.639 --> 00:17:05.759
 were

00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:06.139
 seeing

00:17:06.139 --> 00:17:06.700
 Jesus

00:17:06.700 --> 00:17:08.039
 reclining

00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:08.720
 at table

00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:10.539
 eating

00:17:10.539 --> 00:17:12.319
 feasting

00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:12.720
 drinking

00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:13.259
 with tax

00:17:13.259 --> 00:17:13.579
 collectors

00:17:13.579 --> 00:17:14.599
 in this

00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:14.899
 home

00:17:14.899 --> 00:17:16.839
 probably

00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:18.059
 a lavish

00:17:18.059 --> 00:17:18.399
 feast

00:17:18.399 --> 00:17:18.859
 as well

00:17:18.859 --> 00:17:19.259
 knowing

00:17:19.259 --> 00:17:19.700
 the tax

00:17:19.700 --> 00:17:20.019
 collectors

00:17:20.019 --> 00:17:21.099
 with a

00:17:21.099 --> 00:17:21.319
 bunch

00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:21.799
 of other

00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:22.440
 undesirable

00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:23.139
 unclean

00:17:23.139 --> 00:17:23.879
 outcast

00:17:23.879 --> 00:17:24.240
 people

00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:24.839
 of the

00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:25.079
 town

00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:26.619
 so they

00:17:26.619 --> 00:17:27.000
 were probably

00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:27.419
 pretty

00:17:27.419 --> 00:17:28.240
 confused

00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:29.039
 pretty

00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:29.519
 appalled

00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:29.859
 at what

00:17:29.859 --> 00:17:30.200
 was going

00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:30.480
 on

00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:31.759
 this

00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:31.919
 was

00:17:31.919 --> 00:17:32.139
 pretty

00:17:32.139 --> 00:17:32.579
 scandalous

00:17:32.579 --> 00:17:32.779
 for

00:17:32.779 --> 00:17:33.099
 Jesus

00:17:33.099 --> 00:17:33.679
 to

00:17:33.679 --> 00:17:33.960
 do

00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:34.899
 it

00:17:34.899 --> 00:17:35.119
 brought

00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:35.359
 a lot

00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:35.460
 of

00:17:35.460 --> 00:17:35.839
 confusion

00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:36.759
 so it

00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:36.939
 led

00:17:36.939 --> 00:17:37.240
 Jesus

00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:37.480
 to

00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:37.919
 ask

00:17:37.919 --> 00:17:39.960
 why

00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:40.179
 does

00:17:40.179 --> 00:17:40.359
 your

00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:40.919
 teacher

00:17:40.919 --> 00:17:42.359
 eat

00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:42.659
 with

00:17:42.659 --> 00:17:43.839
 tax collectors

00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:44.319
 and sinners

00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:45.299
 why is he

00:17:45.299 --> 00:17:45.960
 doing this

00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:49.919
 this question

00:17:49.919 --> 00:17:50.099
 though

00:17:50.099 --> 00:17:50.859
 isn't really

00:17:50.859 --> 00:17:51.480
 a wrong

00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:51.919
 question

00:17:51.919 --> 00:17:52.599
 to ask

00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:53.899
 for the

00:17:53.899 --> 00:17:54.460
 Old Testament

00:17:54.460 --> 00:17:54.859
 does

00:17:54.859 --> 00:17:55.399
 celebrate

00:17:55.399 --> 00:17:56.259
 and encourage

00:17:56.259 --> 00:17:57.159
 and even

00:17:57.159 --> 00:17:57.619
 command

00:17:57.619 --> 00:17:58.000
 God's

00:17:58.000 --> 00:17:58.199
 people

00:17:58.199 --> 00:17:58.740
 to not

00:17:58.740 --> 00:17:59.359
 associate

00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:00.019
 with

00:18:00.019 --> 00:18:00.219
 the

00:18:00.219 --> 00:18:00.519
 sinner

00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:01.179
 with

00:18:01.179 --> 00:18:01.339
 the

00:18:01.339 --> 00:18:01.919
 unclean

00:18:01.919 --> 00:18:02.559
 as

00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:02.879
 Psalm

00:18:02.879 --> 00:18:03.459
 26

00:18:03.459 --> 00:18:04.099
 verses

00:18:04.099 --> 00:18:04.639
 4-5

00:18:04.639 --> 00:18:04.919
 says

00:18:04.919 --> 00:18:05.539
 I do

00:18:05.539 --> 00:18:05.779
 not

00:18:05.779 --> 00:18:06.179
 sit

00:18:06.179 --> 00:18:06.519
 with

00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:06.659
 the

00:18:06.659 --> 00:18:06.799
 men

00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:06.939
 of

00:18:06.939 --> 00:18:07.379
 falsehood

00:18:07.379 --> 00:18:07.639
 nor

00:18:07.639 --> 00:18:07.839
 do

00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:07.979
 I

00:18:07.979 --> 00:18:08.399
 consort

00:18:08.399 --> 00:18:08.599
 with

00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:09.139
 hypocrites

00:18:09.139 --> 00:18:10.559
 I hate

00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:10.740
 the

00:18:10.740 --> 00:18:11.099
 assembly

00:18:11.099 --> 00:18:11.279
 of

00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:11.959
 evildoers

00:18:11.959 --> 00:18:12.500
 and I

00:18:12.500 --> 00:18:12.619
 will

00:18:12.619 --> 00:18:12.959
 not

00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:13.859

00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:17.740
 walks

 Jesus

00:21:16.299 --> 00:21:16.680
 looking

 God's

00:21:20.099 --> 00:21:21.720
 they

 lost

00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:22.399
 sight

00:21:22.399 --> 00:21:22.779
 of

 God's

 his

00:21:24.440 --> 00:21:25.000
 goodness

00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:25.960
 given

00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:26.319
 to

00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:26.619
 them

00:21:26.619 --> 00:21:26.920
 in

00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:27.119
 this

00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:27.660
 sacrificial

00:21:27.660 --> 00:21:28.160
 system

00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:29.420
 in

00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:30.599
 and

00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:30.700
 they

00:21:30.700 --> 00:21:31.059
 became

00:21:31.059 --> 00:21:31.399
 more

00:21:31.399 --> 00:21:31.759
 focused

00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:31.940
 on

00:21:31.940 --> 00:21:32.079
 their

00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:32.379
 own

00:21:32.379 --> 00:21:33.079
 performance

00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:33.779
 thinking

00:21:33.779 --> 00:21:34.379
 highly

00:21:34.379 --> 00:21:34.660
 of

00:21:34.660 --> 00:21:35.220
 themselves

00:21:35.220 --> 00:21:36.079
 not

00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:36.619
 seeing

00:21:36.619 --> 00:21:36.819
 that

00:21:36.819 --> 00:21:37.079
 they

00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:37.619
 too

00:21:37.619 --> 00:21:38.899
 were

00:21:38.899 --> 00:21:39.059
 in

00:21:39.059 --> 00:21:39.220
 need

00:21:39.220 --> 00:21:39.339
 of

00:21:39.339 --> 00:21:39.480
 a

00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:39.819
 physician

00:21:39.819 --> 00:21:40.379
 they

00:21:40.379 --> 00:21:40.980
 too

00:21:40.980 --> 00:21:41.439
 were

00:21:41.439 --> 00:21:41.859
 sick

00:21:41.859 --> 00:21:43.599
 and

00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:44.159
 ultimately

00:21:44.159 --> 00:21:45.879
 they

00:21:45.879 --> 00:21:46.279
 could

00:21:46.279 --> 00:21:46.720
 not

00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:47.759
 extend

00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:48.460
 compassion

00:21:48.460 --> 00:21:49.339
 and

00:21:49.339 --> 00:21:49.779
 service

00:21:49.779 --> 00:21:50.039
 to

00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:50.519
 others

00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:51.220
 they

00:21:51.220 --> 00:21:51.519
 lost

00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:51.799
 sight

00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:51.960
 of

00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:52.220
 that

00:21:52.220 --> 00:21:52.619
 they

00:21:52.619 --> 00:21:52.899
 lost

00:21:52.899 --> 00:21:53.159
 sight

00:21:53.159 --> 00:21:53.419
 of

00:21:53.419 --> 00:21:54.059
 mercy

00:21:54.059 --> 00:21:55.839
 and

00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:56.059
 thus

00:21:56.059 --> 00:21:56.240
 they

00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:56.639
 became

00:21:56.639 --> 00:21:56.839
 a

00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:57.359
 hindrance

00:21:57.359 --> 00:21:58.019
 to

00:21:58.019 --> 00:21:59.200
 God

00:21:59.200 --> 00:21:59.720
 displaying

00:21:59.720 --> 00:21:59.939
 his

00:21:59.939 --> 00:22:00.220
 mercy

00:22:00.220 --> 00:22:00.460
 to

00:22:00.460 --> 00:22:00.639
 his

00:22:00.639 --> 00:22:01.000
 people

00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:02.759
 the

00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:03.119
 temple

00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:03.379
 of

00:22:03.379 --> 00:22:03.500
 the

00:22:03.500 --> 00:22:03.679
 living

00:22:03.679 --> 00:22:04.139
 God

00:22:04.139 --> 00:22:04.579
 and

00:22:04.579 --> 00:22:04.700
 the

00:22:04.700 --> 00:22:05.159
 sacrificial

00:22:05.159 --> 00:22:05.599
 system

00:22:05.599 --> 00:22:06.139
 was

00:22:06.139 --> 00:22:06.279
 a

00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:06.579
 place

00:22:06.579 --> 00:22:07.379
 and

00:22:07.379 --> 00:22:07.559
 a

00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:07.960
 way

00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:08.539
 for

00:22:08.539 --> 00:22:09.059
 sinners

00:22:09.059 --> 00:22:09.940
 to

00:22:09.940 --> 00:22:10.460
 come

00:22:10.460 --> 00:22:11.180
 and

00:22:11.180 --> 00:22:11.660
 receive

00:22:11.660 --> 00:22:11.880
 the

00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:12.180
 forgiveness

00:22:12.180 --> 00:22:12.400
 of

00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:12.539
 their

00:22:12.539 --> 00:22:12.819
 sins

00:22:12.819 --> 00:22:13.200
 to

00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:13.600
 meet

00:22:13.600 --> 00:22:14.160
 with

00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:14.660
 God

00:22:14.660 --> 00:22:15.720
 and

00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:15.880
 to

00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:16.440
 know

00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:16.880
 his

00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:17.420
 presence

00:22:17.420 --> 00:22:20.700
 now

00:22:20.700 --> 00:22:21.019
 this

00:22:21.019 --> 00:22:21.360
 is not

00:22:21.360 --> 00:22:21.559
 to

00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:21.880
 say

00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:22.460
 that

00:22:22.460 --> 00:22:22.620
 the

00:22:22.620 --> 00:22:22.900
 system

00:22:22.900 --> 00:22:23.140
 was

00:22:23.140 --> 00:22:23.319
 a

00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:23.660
 failure

00:22:23.660 --> 00:22:25.880
 rather

00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:26.160
 it

00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:27.340
 was never

00:22:27.340 --> 00:22:27.559
 the

00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:27.900
 end

00:22:27.900 --> 00:22:28.400
 goal

00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:29.740
 it

00:22:29.740 --> 00:22:29.880
 was

00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:30.140
 never

00:22:30.140 --> 00:22:30.440
 meant

00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:30.660
 to

00:22:30.660 --> 00:22:30.880
 be

00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:31.079
 the

00:22:31.079 --> 00:22:31.440
 final

00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:31.740
 say

00:22:31.740 --> 00:22:32.059
 so

00:22:32.059 --> 00:22:32.680
 and

00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:32.779
 I

00:22:32.779 --> 00:22:33.019
 believe

00:22:33.019 --> 00:22:33.200
 these

00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:33.480
 Pharisees

00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:33.740
 probably

00:22:33.740 --> 00:22:34.019
 thought

00:22:34.019 --> 00:22:34.200
 that

00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:34.380
 Jesus

00:22:34.380 --> 00:22:34.559
 would

00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:35.000
 continue

00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:35.240
 this

00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:35.460
 on

00:22:35.460 --> 00:22:35.600
 to

00:22:35.600 --> 00:22:35.759
 make

00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:35.900
 this

00:22:35.900 --> 00:22:36.059
 a

00:22:36.059 --> 00:22:36.319
 better

00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:37.200
 system

00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:37.380
 a

00:22:37.380 --> 00:22:37.600
 better

00:22:37.600 --> 00:22:38.060
 Judaism

00:22:38.060 --> 00:22:39.440
 it

00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:39.560
 was

00:22:39.560 --> 00:22:39.740
 a

00:22:39.740 --> 00:22:40.040
 tool

00:22:40.040 --> 00:22:40.380
 though

00:22:40.380 --> 00:22:41.020
 used

00:22:41.020 --> 00:22:41.200
 to

00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:41.600
 do

00:22:41.600 --> 00:22:42.220
 exactly

00:22:42.220 --> 00:22:42.900
 what

00:22:42.900 --> 00:22:43.000
 it

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:43.160
 was

00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:43.500
 intended

00:22:43.500 --> 00:22:43.860
 for

00:22:43.860 --> 00:22:44.900
 to

00:22:44.900 --> 00:22:45.500
 reveal

00:22:45.500 --> 00:22:45.860
 the

00:22:45.860 --> 00:22:46.260
 holiness

00:22:46.260 --> 00:22:46.540
 of

00:22:46.540 --> 00:22:46.680
 our

00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:47.020
 God

00:22:47.020 --> 00:22:47.920
 to

00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:48.280
 reveal

00:22:48.280 --> 00:22:48.540
 our

00:22:48.540 --> 00:22:49.100
 complete

00:22:49.100 --> 00:22:49.420
 and

00:22:49.420 --> 00:22:49.760
 utter

00:22:49.760 --> 00:22:50.600
 sinful

00:22:50.600 --> 00:22:51.300
 depravity

00:22:51.300 --> 00:22:52.020
 and

00:22:52.020 --> 00:22:52.400
 yet

00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:53.720
 to

00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:53.980
 provide

00:22:53.980 --> 00:22:54.400
 mercy

00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:55.680
 to

00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:55.960
 provide

00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:56.180
 a

00:22:56.180 --> 00:22:56.500
 way

00:22:56.500 --> 00:22:57.180
 to

00:22:57.180 --> 00:22:57.620
 come

00:22:57.620 --> 00:22:57.880
 to

00:22:57.880 --> 00:22:58.520
 commune

00:22:58.520 --> 00:22:58.740
 to

00:22:58.740 --> 00:22:59.000
 meet

00:22:59.000 --> 00:22:59.220
 with

00:22:59.220 --> 00:22:59.580
 God

00:22:59.580 --> 00:23:00.900
 the

00:23:00.900 --> 00:23:01.260
 temple

00:23:01.260 --> 00:23:01.480
 and

00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:01.660
 its

00:23:01.660 --> 00:23:02.340
 sacrifices

00:23:02.340 --> 00:23:03.460
 pointed

 this

00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:34.480
 sinners

00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:34.960
 and the

00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:35.220
 tax

00:29:35.220 --> 00:29:35.659
 collectors

00:29:35.659 --> 00:29:37.200
 asking

00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:37.420
 the

00:29:37.420 --> 00:29:37.799
 question

00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:38.079
 about

00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:38.619
 fasting

00:29:38.619 --> 00:29:39.619
 why

00:29:39.619 --> 00:29:40.099
 do

00:29:40.099 --> 00:29:40.240
 your

00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:40.599
 disciples

00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:41.200
 fast

00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:43.220
 now

00:29:43.220 --> 00:29:43.559
 it's

00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:44.059
 rather

00:29:44.059 --> 00:29:44.559
 fitting

00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:45.559
 if you

00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:45.759
 know

00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:46.039
 about

00:29:46.039 --> 00:29:46.299
 John

00:29:46.299 --> 00:29:46.440
 the

00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:47.319
 Baptist

00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:47.659
 and his

00:29:47.659 --> 00:29:48.019
 disciples

00:29:48.019 --> 00:29:48.259
 it's

00:29:48.259 --> 00:29:48.460
 rather

00:29:48.460 --> 00:29:48.720
 fitting

00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:48.899
 that

00:29:48.899 --> 00:29:49.119
 his

00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:49.519
 disciples

00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:49.980
 are

00:29:49.980 --> 00:29:50.119
 the

00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:50.359
 ones

00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:50.879
 asking

00:29:50.879 --> 00:29:51.139
 this

00:29:51.139 --> 00:29:51.579
 question

00:29:51.579 --> 00:29:52.559
 remember

00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:53.359
 John

00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:53.460
 the

00:29:53.460 --> 00:29:53.680
 Baptist

00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:54.119
 he

00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:54.259
 was

00:29:54.259 --> 00:29:54.599
 wearing

00:29:54.599 --> 00:29:55.039
 camel

00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:55.440
 skins

00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:56.500
 and

00:29:56.500 --> 00:29:56.779
 while

00:29:56.779 --> 00:29:57.379
 fasting

00:29:57.379 --> 00:29:57.720
 eating

00:29:57.720 --> 00:29:58.000
 nothing

00:29:58.000 --> 00:29:58.240
 but

00:29:58.240 --> 00:29:58.879
 locusts

00:29:58.879 --> 00:29:59.039
 and

00:29:59.039 --> 00:29:59.359
 honey

00:29:59.359 --> 00:29:59.659
 in the

00:29:59.659 --> 00:30:00.000
 wilderness

00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:01.779
 you had

00:30:01.779 --> 00:30:02.900
 to walk

00:30:02.900 --> 00:30:03.359
 all the

00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:03.660
 way out

00:30:03.660 --> 00:30:03.859
 into

00:30:03.859 --> 00:30:04.000
 the

00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:04.299
 wilderness

00:30:04.299 --> 00:30:05.319
 and

00:30:05.319 --> 00:30:05.660
 you had

00:30:05.660 --> 00:30:05.819
 to

00:30:05.819 --> 00:30:06.119
 only

00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:06.440
 hear

00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:06.720
 John

00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:06.819
 the

00:30:06.819 --> 00:30:07.019
 Baptist

00:30:07.019 --> 00:30:07.339
 saying

00:30:07.339 --> 00:30:07.819
 repent

00:30:07.819 --> 00:30:08.140
 and

00:30:08.140 --> 00:30:08.599
 believe

00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:09.420
 repent

00:30:09.420 --> 00:30:10.619
 while

00:30:10.619 --> 00:30:10.880
 he's

00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:11.579
 wrapped

00:30:11.579 --> 00:30:11.720
 in

00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:11.880
 this

00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:12.279
 camel's

00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:12.480
 hair

00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:12.799
 and

00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:13.079
 eating

00:30:13.079 --> 00:30:13.619
 locusts

00:30:13.619 --> 00:30:13.740
 and

00:30:13.740 --> 00:30:13.980
 honey

00:30:13.980 --> 00:30:15.480
 so

00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:16.140
 John

00:30:16.140 --> 00:30:16.279
 the

00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:16.500
 Baptist

00:30:16.500 --> 00:30:16.799
 was

00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:17.119
 well

00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:17.539
 known

00:30:17.539 --> 00:30:18.220
 by

00:30:18.220 --> 00:30:18.640
 those

00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:19.140
 around

00:30:19.140 --> 00:30:19.400
 him

00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:19.640
 for

00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:19.799
 his

00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:20.299
 outward

00:30:20.299 --> 00:30:21.019
 religious

00:30:21.019 --> 00:30:21.779
 appearances

00:30:21.779 --> 00:30:23.380
 for

00:30:23.380 --> 00:30:23.660
 his

00:30:23.660 --> 00:30:24.299
 religious

00:30:24.299 --> 00:30:25.079
 asceticism

00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:26.319
 so

00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:26.519
 you

00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:26.660
 can

00:30:26.660 --> 00:30:27.000
 perhaps

00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:27.220
 see

00:30:27.220 --> 00:30:27.500
 why

00:30:27.500 --> 00:30:27.660
 the

00:30:27.660 --> 00:30:27.960
 followers

00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:28.180
 of

00:30:28.180 --> 00:30:28.640
 John

00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:29.240
 the

00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:29.700
 Baptist

00:30:29.700 --> 00:30:30.240
 are

00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:30.500
 very

00:30:30.500 --> 00:30:31.080
 confused

00:30:31.080 --> 00:30:32.120
 when

00:30:32.120 --> 00:30:32.299
 they're

00:30:32.299 --> 00:30:32.640
 seeing

00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:33.180
 or hearing

00:30:33.180 --> 00:30:33.580
 of

00:30:33.580 --> 00:30:33.860
 Jesus

00:30:33.860 --> 00:30:34.100
 their

00:30:34.100 --> 00:30:34.559
 Messiah

00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:35.200
 the

00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:35.460
 ones

00:30:35.460 --> 00:30:35.580
 that

00:30:35.580 --> 00:30:35.740
 they're

00:30:35.740 --> 00:30:36.120
 preparing

00:30:36.120 --> 00:30:36.299
 the

00:30:36.299 --> 00:30:36.500
 way

00:30:36.500 --> 00:30:36.799
 for

00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:37.720
 and

00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:37.860
 his

00:30:37.860 --> 00:30:38.299
 disciples

00:30:38.299 --> 00:30:38.660
 are

00:30:38.660 --> 00:30:39.100
 feasting

00:30:39.100 --> 00:30:39.220
 at

00:30:39.220 --> 00:30:39.559
 homes

00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:39.819
 of

00:30:39.819 --> 00:30:40.140
 sinners

00:30:40.140 --> 00:30:42.660
 it

00:30:42.660 --> 00:30:42.940
 doesn't

00:30:42.940 --> 00:30:43.500
 seem like

00:30:43.500 --> 00:30:43.680
 they're

00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:44.019
 taking

00:30:44.019 --> 00:30:44.279
 their

00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:44.660
 religious

00:30:44.660 --> 00:30:45.380
 practices

00:30:45.380 --> 00:30:46.400
 very

00:30:46.400 --> 00:30:47.100
 seriously

00:30:47.099 --> 00:30:48.839
 they

00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:49.179
 aren't

00:30:49.179 --> 00:30:49.759
 fasting

00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:50.039
 like

00:30:50.039 --> 00:30:50.399
 all

00:30:50.399 --> 00:30:50.599
 the

00:30:50.599 --> 00:30:50.939
 other

00:30:50.939 --> 00:30:51.599
 good

00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:52.059
 Jewish

00:30:52.059 --> 00:30:52.379
 leaders

00:30:52.379 --> 00:30:52.740
 are

00:30:52.740 --> 00:30:56.599
 so

00:30:56.599 --> 00:30:57.119
 Jesus

00:30:57.119 --> 00:30:58.759
 responding

00:30:58.759 --> 00:30:59.459
 with this

00:30:59.459 --> 00:30:59.779
 really

00:30:59.779 --> 00:31:00.579
 well put

00:31:00.579 --> 00:31:01.179
 illustration

00:31:01.179 --> 00:31:01.579
 of a

00:31:01.579 --> 00:31:01.819
 wedding

00:31:01.819 --> 00:31:04.019
 and at

00:31:04.019 --> 00:31:04.539
 this time

00:31:04.539 --> 00:31:04.879
 in this

00:31:04.879 --> 00:31:05.819
 culture

00:31:05.819 --> 00:31:07.159
 weddings

00:31:07.159 --> 00:31:07.519
 were a

00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:07.659
 big

00:31:07.659 --> 00:31:08.159
 celebration

00:31:08.159 --> 00:31:08.679
 lasting

00:31:08.679 --> 00:31:09.319
 for days

00:31:09.319 --> 00:31:09.879
 they were

00:31:09.879 --> 00:31:10.519
 feasts

00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:12.680
 so

00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:12.920
 Jesus

00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:13.400
 asked

00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:14.700
 do

00:31:14.700 --> 00:31:14.980
 you

00:31:14.980 --> 00:31:15.579
 mourn

00:31:15.579 --> 00:31:16.099
 during

00:31:16.099 --> 00:31:16.339
 a

00:31:16.339 --> 00:31:16.680
 wedding

00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:18.980
 it's

00:31:18.980 --> 00:31:19.180
 kind

00:31:19.180 --> 00:31:19.299
 of

00:31:19.299 --> 00:31:19.660
 strange

00:31:19.660 --> 00:31:20.000
 right

00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:20.900
 be

00:31:20.900 --> 00:31:21.180
 like

00:31:21.180 --> 00:31:21.579
 Gary

00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:24.799
 Kathy's

00:31:24.799 --> 00:31:25.079
 upcoming

00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:25.559

00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:30.319
 the

00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:30.660
 marriage

00:31:30.660 --> 00:31:31.279
 but

00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:31.839
 fasting

00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:32.519
 sitting

00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:34.160
 restraining

00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:34.579
 himself

00:31:34.579 --> 00:31:35.139
 while

00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:40.160
 feasting

00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:42.080
 it would

00:31:42.080 --> 00:31:42.640
 be a

00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:43.019
 rather

00:31:43.019 --> 00:31:43.840
 bizarre

00:31:43.840 --> 00:31:44.340
 scene

00:31:44.340 --> 00:31:44.680
 right

00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:53.740
 Jesus

00:31:53.740 --> 00:31:54.240
 says

00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:55.880
 yes

00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:56.100
 there

00:31:56.100 --> 00:31:56.440
 will

00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:56.820
 be

00:31:56.820 --> 00:31:57.120
 a

00:31:57.120 --> 00:31:57.380
 time

00:31:57.380 --> 00:31:57.600

00:31:57.600 --> 00:31:58.000
 fasting

00:31:58.000 --> 00:31:58.840
 but

00:31:58.840 --> 00:31:59.140
 now

00:31:59.140 --> 00:31:59.320
 is

00:31:59.320 --> 00:31:59.660
 not

00:31:59.660 --> 00:31:59.960
 it

00:31:59.960 --> 00:32:01.440
 look

00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:01.820
 around

00:32:01.820 --> 00:32:02.100
 you

00:32:02.100 --> 00:32:04.320
 you're

00:32:04.320 --> 00:32:04.800
 missing

00:32:04.800 --> 00:32:05.279
 it

00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:06.620
 read

00:32:06.620 --> 00:32:07.060
 the room

00:32:07.060 --> 00:32:07.519

00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:08.920
 God

00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:09.560
 in the

00:32:09.560 --> 00:32:10.060
 flesh

00:32:10.059 --> 00:32:10.980
 is

00:32:10.980 --> 00:32:11.399
 walking

00:32:11.399 --> 00:32:11.759
 with

00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:11.919
 his

00:32:11.919 --> 00:32:12.279
 people

00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:13.679
 it's

00:32:13.679 --> 00:32:13.839
 the

00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:14.259
 dawn

00:32:14.259 --> 00:32:15.220
 the

00:32:15.220 --> 00:32:15.579
 beginning

00:32:15.579 --> 00:32:16.519
 of a

00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:16.740
 new

00:32:16.740 --> 00:32:17.220
 life

00:32:17.220 --> 00:32:17.720
 of the

00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:18.039
 kingdom

00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:18.599
 of heaven

00:32:18.599 --> 00:32:19.839
 it should

00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:20.200
 be a

00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:20.619
 great

00:32:20.619 --> 00:32:21.059
 time

00:32:21.059 --> 00:32:21.940
 of great

00:32:21.940 --> 00:32:22.419
 joy

00:32:22.419 --> 00:32:22.899
 and

00:32:22.899 --> 00:32:23.500
 celebrations

00:32:23.500 --> 00:32:23.500

 you should

00:32:24.619 --> 00:32:24.819
 be

00:32:24.819 --> 00:32:25.399
 feasting

00:32:25.399 --> 00:32:25.759
 we should

00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:25.960
 be

00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:26.440
 feasting

00:32:26.440 --> 00:32:26.619
 right

00:32:26.619 --> 00:32:26.919
 now

00:32:26.919 --> 00:32:28.319
 so

00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:28.559
 you're

00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:29.079
 misunderstanding

00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:29.779
 the times

00:32:29.779 --> 00:32:30.159
 guys

00:32:30.159 --> 00:32:31.619
 as

00:32:31.619 --> 00:32:31.879
 Jesus

00:32:31.879 --> 00:32:32.179
 is

00:32:32.179 --> 00:32:32.899
 speaking

00:32:32.899 --> 00:32:33.319
 to

00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:34.159
 John's

00:32:34.159 --> 00:32:34.579
 disciples

00:32:34.579 --> 00:32:35.419
 and he

00:32:35.419 --> 00:32:35.599
 goes

00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:35.919
 on to

00:32:35.919 --> 00:32:36.200
 say

00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:37.519
 to

00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:37.700
 make

00:32:37.700 --> 00:32:37.840
 the

 sink

00:32:38.819 --> 00:32:39.019

00:32:52.900 --> 00:32:53.000
 it

00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:53.400
 is

00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:54.240
 the

00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:54.480
 skins

00:32:56.039 --> 00:32:56.220
 is

00:32:56.220 --> 00:32:56.539
 spilled

00:32:56.539 --> 00:32:56.559
!

00:32:56.779 --> 00:32:56.819
 and

00:32:56.819 --> 00:32:56.960
 the

00:32:56.960 --> 00:32:57.200
 skins

00:32:57.200 --> 00:32:57.360
 are

00:32:57.360 --> 00:32:57.840
 destroyed

00:32:57.840 --> 00:32:58.759
 but

00:32:58.759 --> 00:32:59.000
 new

00:32:59.000 --> 00:32:59.360
 wine

00:32:59.360 --> 00:32:59.360


00:32:59.360 --> 00:32:59.720
 is

 put

 into

 fresh

00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:00.740
 wines

00:33:00.740 --> 00:33:01.039
 skins

00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:01.019
!

00:33:06.200 --> 00:33:09.940
 I'm

00:33:09.940 --> 00:33:10.100
 just

00:33:10.100 --> 00:33:10.220
 going

00:33:10.220 --> 00:33:10.259
 to

00:33:10.259 --> 00:33:10.420
 be

00:33:10.420 --> 00:33:10.779
 focusing

00:33:10.779 --> 00:33:11.279
 on

00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:11.660
 the

00:33:11.660 --> 00:33:11.920
 wine

00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:12.200
 skins

00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:12.420
 this

00:33:12.420 --> 00:33:12.700
 morning

00:33:12.700 --> 00:33:14.259
 which

00:33:14.259 --> 00:33:14.960
 it's

00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:15.240
 a

00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:15.680
 fascinating

00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:16.240
 illustration

00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:17.600
 I think

00:33:17.600 --> 00:33:18.279
 early on

00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:18.460
 in my

00:33:18.460 --> 00:33:18.680
 Christianity

00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:19.100
 I had

00:33:19.100 --> 00:33:19.559
 no idea

00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:20.660
 what is

00:33:20.660 --> 00:33:20.960
 Jesus

00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:21.460
 saying

00:33:21.460 --> 00:33:22.960
 and

00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:23.160
 it's

00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:23.420
 really

00:33:23.420 --> 00:33:24.779
 fascinating

00:33:24.779 --> 00:33:25.160
 and

00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:25.480
 amazing

00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:25.779
 I was

00:33:25.779 --> 00:33:25.960
 actually

00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:26.140
 even

00:33:26.140 --> 00:33:26.340
 talking

00:33:26.340 --> 00:33:26.420
 to

00:33:26.420 --> 00:33:26.539
 my

00:33:26.539 --> 00:33:26.740
 wife

00:33:26.740 --> 00:33:27.019
 Brittany

00:33:27.019 --> 00:33:27.559
 and

00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:27.840
 she's

00:33:27.840 --> 00:33:27.980
 just

00:33:27.980 --> 00:33:29.180
 like

00:33:29.180 --> 00:33:29.460
 man

00:33:29.460 --> 00:33:30.259
 that's

00:33:30.259 --> 00:33:30.620
 incredible

00:33:30.620 --> 00:33:31.000
 I don't

00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:31.120
 know

00:33:31.120 --> 00:33:31.319
 if I

00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:31.620
 fully

00:33:31.620 --> 00:33:32.039
 understood

00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:32.420
 that

00:33:32.420 --> 00:33:34.539
 so

00:33:34.539 --> 00:33:34.660
 it

00:33:34.660 --> 00:33:34.880
 just

00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:36.019
 let me

00:33:36.019 --> 00:33:36.160
 get

00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:36.339
 into

00:33:36.339 --> 00:33:36.460
 this

00:33:36.460 --> 00:33:36.759
 illustration

00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:37.740
 wine

00:33:37.740 --> 00:33:38.099
 skins

00:33:38.099 --> 00:33:38.920
 think

00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:39.240
 about

00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:39.740
 leather

00:33:39.740 --> 00:33:40.259
 they're

00:33:40.259 --> 00:33:40.559
 made

00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:40.759
 of

00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:41.079
 leather

00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:42.259
 when

00:33:42.259 --> 00:33:43.319
 leather

00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:43.559
 is

00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:43.879
 new

00:33:43.879 --> 00:33:44.319
 it's

00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:44.740
 soft

00:33:44.740 --> 00:33:45.019
 it's

00:33:45.019 --> 00:33:45.480
 pliable

00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:46.200
 it stretches

00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:46.900
 it gives

00:33:46.900 --> 00:33:47.700
 but as

00:33:47.700 --> 00:33:48.500
 it ages

00:33:48.500 --> 00:33:49.920
 it becomes

00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:50.660
 dried out

00:33:50.660 --> 00:33:51.359
 hard

00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:52.160
 and brittle

00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:53.740
 so

00:33:53.740 --> 00:33:54.700
 and if

00:33:54.700 --> 00:33:54.900
 you've

00:33:54.900 --> 00:33:55.059
 ever

00:33:55.059 --> 00:33:55.759
 seen

00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:56.240
 somebody

00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:56.740
 make

00:33:56.740 --> 00:33:57.279
 wine

00:33:57.279 --> 00:33:58.240
 I grew

00:33:58.240 --> 00:33:58.379
 up

00:33:58.379 --> 00:33:58.559
 around

00:33:58.559 --> 00:33:58.720
 my

00:33:58.720 --> 00:33:59.039
 grandfather

00:33:59.039 --> 00:33:59.420
 making

00:33:59.420 --> 00:33:59.779
 homemade

00:33:59.779 --> 00:34:00.220
 wine

00:34:00.220 --> 00:34:00.500
 and

00:34:00.500 --> 00:34:01.480
 homemade

00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:01.859
 beer

00:34:01.859 --> 00:34:02.200
 and these

00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:02.500
 things

00:34:02.500 --> 00:34:02.859
 so

00:34:02.859 --> 00:34:03.000
 if

00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:03.119
 you've

00:34:03.119 --> 00:34:03.220
 ever

00:34:03.220 --> 00:34:03.579
 seen

00:34:03.579 --> 00:34:03.920
 like

00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:04.160
 or

00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:04.339
 gone

00:34:04.339 --> 00:34:04.460
 to

00:34:04.460 --> 00:34:04.619
 a

00:34:04.619 --> 00:34:04.839
 tour

00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:04.980
 and

00:34:04.980 --> 00:34:05.339
 seen

00:34:05.339 --> 00:34:05.559
 like

00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:05.899
 wine

00:34:05.899 --> 00:34:06.299
 made

00:34:06.299 --> 00:34:06.579
 or

00:34:06.579 --> 00:34:07.659
 bourbon

00:34:07.659 --> 00:34:07.940
 an

00:34:07.940 --> 00:34:08.259
 alcoholic

00:34:08.259 --> 00:34:08.679
 drink

00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:09.039
 made

00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:10.059
 you know

00:34:10.059 --> 00:34:10.400
 that it

00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:10.699
 goes through

00:34:10.699 --> 00:34:11.219
 a process

00:34:11.219 --> 00:34:11.440
 of

00:34:11.440 --> 00:34:11.759
 fermentation

00:34:11.759 --> 00:34:15.199
 and

00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:15.759
 even in

00:34:15.759 --> 00:34:15.920
 its

00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:16.239
 early

00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:16.840
 stages

00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:17.239
 after

00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:17.480
 it's

00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:17.900
 finished

00:34:17.900 --> 00:34:18.259
 being

00:34:18.259 --> 00:34:18.599
 made

00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:18.799
 it

00:34:18.799 --> 00:34:19.119
 still

00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:19.320
 is

00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:19.539
 going

00:34:19.539 --> 00:34:19.739
 through

00:34:19.739 --> 00:34:19.960
 this

00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:20.420
 process

00:34:20.420 --> 00:34:20.599
 of

00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:20.960
 fermentation

00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:21.559
 giving off

00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:22.059
 gases

00:34:22.059 --> 00:34:22.679
 and bubbling

00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:25.399
 so

00:34:25.399 --> 00:34:25.440
 so

00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:25.980
 if

00:34:25.980 --> 00:34:25.980


00:34:25.980 --> 00:34:26.099
 you

00:34:26.099 --> 00:34:26.219
 were

00:34:26.219 --> 00:34:26.359
 to

00:34:26.359 --> 00:34:26.719
 take

00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:26.960
 and

00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:27.199
 put

00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:27.539
 new

00:34:27.539 --> 00:34:28.159
 wine

00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:28.759
 as

00:34:28.759 --> 00:34:28.980
 it's

00:34:28.980 --> 00:34:29.239
 still

00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:29.960
 fresh

00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:30.879
 into

00:34:30.879 --> 00:34:32.319
 these

00:34:32.319 --> 00:34:32.799
 old

00:34:32.799 --> 00:34:33.299
 hard

00:34:33.299 --> 00:34:33.599
 brittle

00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:34.279
 wineskins

00:34:34.279 --> 00:34:35.699
 these

00:34:35.699 --> 00:34:36.119
 wineskins

00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:36.500
 won't be

00:34:36.500 --> 00:34:36.799
 able to

00:34:36.799 --> 00:34:37.339
 expand

00:34:37.339 --> 00:34:37.579
 and

00:34:37.579 --> 00:34:37.879
 contract

00:34:37.879 --> 00:34:38.339
 they won't

00:34:38.339 --> 00:34:38.579
 be able

00:34:38.579 --> 00:34:38.980
 to hold

00:34:38.980 --> 00:34:39.239
 it

00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:40.859
 and it'll

00:34:40.859 --> 00:34:41.639
 just expand

00:34:41.639 --> 00:34:42.079
 and it'll

00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:42.500
 burst

00:34:42.500 --> 00:34:44.460
 so

00:34:44.460 --> 00:34:44.819
 and I

00:34:44.819 --> 00:34:45.299
 imagine

00:34:45.299 --> 00:34:45.819
 that

00:34:45.819 --> 00:34:46.599
 this

00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:48.019
 illustration

00:34:48.019 --> 00:34:48.599
 that Jesus

00:34:48.599 --> 00:34:48.899
 gives

00:34:48.899 --> 00:34:49.179
 here

00:34:49.179 --> 00:34:49.559
 is just

00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:49.739
 one of

00:34:49.739 --> 00:34:49.879
 those

00:34:49.879 --> 00:34:50.359
 classic

00:34:50.359 --> 00:34:50.719
 rookie

00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:51.299
 mistakes

00:34:51.299 --> 00:34:53.219
 that people

00:34:53.219 --> 00:34:53.539
 make

00:34:53.539 --> 00:34:53.759
 and you

00:34:53.759 --> 00:34:54.239
 just laugh

00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:54.479
 at them

00:34:54.479 --> 00:34:54.759
 when they

00:34:54.759 --> 00:34:55.139
 make them

00:34:55.139 --> 00:34:56.639
 so it's

00:34:56.639 --> 00:34:56.899
 kind of

00:34:56.899 --> 00:34:57.199
 like it

00:34:57.199 --> 00:34:57.699
 reminds me

00:34:57.699 --> 00:34:58.199
 of when

00:34:58.199 --> 00:34:59.519
 you start

00:34:59.519 --> 00:34:59.859
 trying to

00:34:59.859 --> 00:35:00.119
 make your

00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:00.279
 own

00:35:00.279 --> 00:35:00.679
 kombucha

00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:01.059
 at home

00:35:01.059 --> 00:35:01.439
 if you

00:35:01.439 --> 00:35:01.759
 guys have

00:35:01.759 --> 00:35:02.179
 ever tried

00:35:02.179 --> 00:35:02.479
 that

00:35:02.479 --> 00:35:04.679
 you know

00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:04.899
 when you

00:35:04.899 --> 00:35:05.339
 start making

00:35:05.339 --> 00:35:05.859
 the process

00:35:05.859 --> 00:35:06.219
 you put

00:35:06.219 --> 00:35:06.739
 the tea

00:35:06.739 --> 00:35:07.879
 the fruit

00:35:07.879 --> 00:35:08.639
 in there

00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:08.939
 and you

00:35:08.939 --> 00:35:09.259
 put the

00:35:09.259 --> 00:35:09.619
 scoby

00:35:09.619 --> 00:35:09.959
 in there

00:35:09.959 --> 00:35:10.199
 which is

00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:10.739
 your bacteria

00:35:10.739 --> 00:35:11.179
 which gives

00:35:11.179 --> 00:35:11.619
 to the

00:35:11.619 --> 00:35:12.000
 fermentation

00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:12.699
 process

00:35:12.699 --> 00:35:13.119
 of it

00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:14.119
 and then

00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:14.419
 after you

00:35:14.419 --> 00:35:14.639
 put it

00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:14.859
 in there

00:35:14.859 --> 00:35:15.179
 you put

00:35:15.179 --> 00:35:15.299
 it in

00:35:15.299 --> 00:35:15.639
 a sealed

00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:15.939
 bottle

00:35:15.939 --> 00:35:16.219
 and then

00:35:16.219 --> 00:35:16.579
 you tuck

00:35:16.579 --> 00:35:16.939
 it away

00:35:16.939 --> 00:35:17.239
 in this

00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:17.699
 dark

00:35:17.699 --> 00:35:18.099
 cabinet

00:35:18.099 --> 00:35:18.439
 in your

00:35:18.439 --> 00:35:18.779
 kitchen

00:35:18.779 --> 00:35:19.699
 to sit

00:35:19.699 --> 00:35:20.019
 and just

00:35:20.019 --> 00:35:20.459
 be for

00:35:20.459 --> 00:35:21.299
 a time

00:35:21.299 --> 00:35:22.719
 but the

00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:23.059
 classic

00:35:23.059 --> 00:35:23.299
 rookie

00:35:23.299 --> 00:35:23.679
 mistake

00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:23.919
 is you

00:35:23.919 --> 00:35:24.199
 forget

00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:25.059
 about it

00:35:25.059 --> 00:35:28.159
 and that

00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:28.619
 fermentation

00:35:28.619 --> 00:35:29.159
 has nowhere

00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:29.579
 to go

00:35:29.579 --> 00:35:31.599
 so you

00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:32.019
 open up

00:35:32.019 --> 00:35:32.519
 your cabinet

00:35:32.519 --> 00:35:32.899
 and you

00:35:32.899 --> 00:35:33.259
 realize

00:35:33.259 --> 00:35:33.899
 kaboom

00:35:33.899 --> 00:35:34.759
 like this

00:35:34.759 --> 00:35:35.199
 thing just

00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:36.159
 blew up

00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:36.659
 in your

00:35:36.659 --> 00:35:37.019
 cabinet

00:35:37.019 --> 00:35:37.719
 I have

00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:37.939
 several

00:35:37.939 --> 00:35:38.259
 friends

00:35:38.259 --> 00:35:38.539
 that that

00:35:38.539 --> 00:35:38.639
 has

00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:38.959
 happened

00:35:38.959 --> 00:35:39.239
 to

00:35:39.239 --> 00:35:40.539
 so it

00:35:40.539 --> 00:35:40.859
 is a

00:35:40.859 --> 00:35:41.279
 classic

00:35:41.279 --> 00:35:41.599
 rookie

00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:42.039
 mistake

00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:42.500
 so this

00:35:42.500 --> 00:35:42.799
 is what

00:35:42.799 --> 00:35:43.379
 I imagine

00:35:43.379 --> 00:35:44.039
 this is

00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:44.359
 kind of

00:35:44.359 --> 00:35:44.719
 like

00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:46.500
 so putting

00:35:46.500 --> 00:35:47.219
 wine into

00:35:47.219 --> 00:35:47.939
 old wineskins

00:35:47.939 --> 00:35:48.879
 was probably

00:35:48.879 --> 00:35:49.579
 not the way

00:35:49.579 --> 00:35:49.839
 to go

00:35:49.839 --> 00:35:50.139
 it was

00:35:50.139 --> 00:35:50.459
 probably

00:35:50.459 --> 00:35:50.879
 something

00:35:50.879 --> 00:35:51.319
 that brought

00:35:51.319 --> 00:35:51.879
 a lot

00:35:51.879 --> 00:35:52.179
 of people

00:35:52.179 --> 00:35:52.619
 laughter

00:35:52.619 --> 00:35:53.299
 when someone

00:35:53.299 --> 00:35:53.799
 did it

00:35:53.799 --> 00:35:55.279
 but what

00:35:55.279 --> 00:35:55.739
 Jesus is

00:35:55.739 --> 00:35:56.199
 really getting

00:35:56.199 --> 00:35:56.439
 out

00:35:56.439 --> 00:35:56.839
 with

00:35:56.839 --> 00:35:57.399
 these

00:35:57.399 --> 00:35:58.059
 illustrations

00:35:58.059 --> 00:36:01.159
 the patch

00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:02.139
 the wineskins

00:36:02.139 --> 00:36:03.480
 he's getting

00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:03.819
 at he's

00:36:03.819 --> 00:36:04.239
 he's

00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:05.159
 he's

00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:05.439
 wanting them

00:36:05.439 --> 00:36:05.759
 to see

00:36:05.759 --> 00:36:06.359
 that guys

00:36:06.359 --> 00:36:07.019
 the kingdom

00:36:07.019 --> 00:36:07.719
 of God

00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:08.419
 he is

00:36:08.419 --> 00:36:08.739
 bringing

00:36:08.739 --> 00:36:09.139
 in

00:36:09.139 --> 00:36:10.599
 the new

00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:11.139
 covenant

00:36:11.139 --> 00:36:12.359
 that's being

00:36:12.359 --> 00:36:12.859
 ushered

00:36:12.859 --> 00:36:13.059
 in

00:36:13.059 --> 00:36:14.320
 it cannot

00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:15.420
 be contained

00:36:15.420 --> 00:36:16.380
 in the

00:36:16.380 --> 00:36:16.820
 forms

00:36:16.820 --> 00:36:17.559
 and rituals

00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:18.239
 of the

00:36:18.239 --> 00:36:18.679
 old

00:36:18.679 --> 00:36:20.420
 new

00:36:20.420 --> 00:36:21.000
 wine

00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:22.139
 must be

00:36:22.139 --> 00:36:22.759
 put into

00:36:22.759 --> 00:36:23.239
 new

00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:23.880
 wineskins

00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:25.719
 he wasn't

00:36:25.719 --> 00:36:26.440
 trying to

00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:27.179
 Jesus wasn't

00:36:27.179 --> 00:36:27.599
 coming to

00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:28.039
 try and

00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:28.880
 restore

00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:29.719
 update

00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:30.500
 or make

00:36:30.500 --> 00:36:30.920
 a new

00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:31.759
 more glamorous

00:36:31.759 --> 00:36:32.480
 Judaism

00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:34.559
 but we

00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:34.799
 know

00:36:34.799 --> 00:36:35.119
 what we

00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:35.320
 know

00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:36.019
 from earlier

00:36:36.019 --> 00:36:36.779
 in Matthew

00:36:36.779 --> 00:36:37.719
 chapter 5

00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:38.860
 Jesus

00:36:38.860 --> 00:36:39.779
 did not

00:36:39.779 --> 00:36:40.659
 come to

00:36:40.659 --> 00:36:41.279
 reject or

00:36:41.279 --> 00:36:41.880
 disconnect

00:36:41.880 --> 00:36:42.480
 from the

00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:42.920
 Old Testament

00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:48.500
 scriptures

00:36:48.500 --> 00:36:49.260
 but he

00:36:49.260 --> 00:36:50.039
 came to

00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:50.639
 fulfill

00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:51.780
 these forms

00:36:51.780 --> 00:36:52.480
 and rituals

00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:52.720
 of the

00:36:52.720 --> 00:36:52.880
 old

00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:53.200
 covenant

00:36:53.200 --> 00:36:55.539
 what Jesus

00:36:55.539 --> 00:36:56.300
 was refusing

00:36:56.300 --> 00:36:57.159
 to accept

00:36:57.159 --> 00:36:57.559
 here

00:36:57.559 --> 00:36:59.280
 was not

00:36:59.280 --> 00:36:59.900
 scripture

00:36:59.900 --> 00:37:01.059
 rather

00:37:01.059 --> 00:37:01.400
 these

00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:02.079
 religious

00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:02.940
 practices

00:37:02.940 --> 00:37:03.559
 describes

00:37:03.559 --> 00:37:04.320
 the

00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:04.940
 Pharisees

00:37:04.940 --> 00:37:05.280
 and the

00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:05.619
 disciples

00:37:05.619 --> 00:37:06.039
 of John

00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:07.139
 supposedly

00:37:07.139 --> 00:37:07.380
 have

00:37:07.380 --> 00:37:08.139
 based on

00:37:08.139 --> 00:37:08.519
 scriptures

00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:10.659
 they had

00:37:10.659 --> 00:37:11.340
 built up

00:37:11.340 --> 00:37:11.840
 and made

00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:12.079
 them

00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:12.960
 their own

00:37:12.960 --> 00:37:14.140
 rituals

00:37:14.140 --> 00:37:15.960
 their own

00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:16.519
 forms

00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:18.620
 so which

00:37:18.620 --> 00:37:19.059
 brings me

00:37:19.059 --> 00:37:19.579
 back then

00:37:19.579 --> 00:37:20.180
 earlier to

00:37:20.180 --> 00:37:21.140
 fasting

00:37:21.140 --> 00:37:23.100
 Jesus said

00:37:23.100 --> 00:37:23.960
 the days

00:37:23.960 --> 00:37:24.700
 will come

00:37:24.700 --> 00:37:25.160
 when the

00:37:25.160 --> 00:37:25.700
 bridegroom is

00:37:25.700 --> 00:37:26.140
 taken away

00:37:26.140 --> 00:37:26.480
 from them

00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:26.800
 and then

00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:27.180
 they will

00:37:27.180 --> 00:37:27.760
 fast

00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:30.640
 so it

00:37:30.640 --> 00:37:31.280
 is assumed

00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:32.160
 that fasting

00:37:32.160 --> 00:37:33.200
 will continue

00:37:33.199 --> 00:37:34.739
 just as he

00:37:34.739 --> 00:37:35.099
 mentioned

00:37:35.099 --> 00:37:35.599
 even back

00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:35.980
 in Matthew

00:37:35.980 --> 00:37:36.659
 chapter 6

00:37:36.659 --> 00:37:36.980
 he did

00:37:36.980 --> 00:37:37.559
 the description

00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:38.179
 of how you

00:37:38.179 --> 00:37:38.619
 should look

00:37:38.619 --> 00:37:38.980
 when you

00:37:38.980 --> 00:37:39.439
 fast

00:37:39.439 --> 00:37:41.659
 but it

00:37:41.659 --> 00:37:42.299
 doesn't look

00:37:42.299 --> 00:37:42.960
 like what

00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:43.859
 these Pharisees

00:37:43.859 --> 00:37:44.259
 and these

00:37:44.259 --> 00:37:44.719
 scribes

00:37:44.719 --> 00:37:45.379
 are doing

00:37:45.379 --> 00:37:45.859
 what their

00:37:45.859 --> 00:37:46.779
 fasting looks

00:37:46.779 --> 00:37:47.059
 like

00:37:47.059 --> 00:37:47.819
 what their

00:37:47.819 --> 00:37:48.619
 forms

00:37:48.619 --> 00:37:49.399
 their rituals

00:37:49.399 --> 00:37:50.359
 look like

00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:54.780
 it's not

00:37:54.780 --> 00:37:56.180
 an obligatory

00:37:56.180 --> 00:37:57.860
 like action

00:37:57.860 --> 00:37:58.940
 it's not

00:37:58.940 --> 00:38:00.079
 an obligatory

00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:00.640
 act

00:38:00.640 --> 00:38:01.160
 where we

00:38:01.160 --> 00:38:01.599
 are trying

00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:02.059
 to earn

00:38:02.059 --> 00:38:02.559
 favor

00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:03.420
 with God

00:38:03.420 --> 00:38:05.000
 rather

00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:05.539
 we

00:38:05.539 --> 00:38:06.460
 fast

00:38:06.460 --> 00:38:07.460
 we do

00:38:07.460 --> 00:38:07.640
 it

00:38:07.640 --> 00:38:08.220
 knowingly

00:38:08.220 --> 00:38:08.720
 we already

00:38:08.720 --> 00:38:09.559
 have God's

00:38:09.559 --> 00:38:09.920
 favor

00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:11.240
 through

00:38:11.240 --> 00:38:11.700
 Christ

00:38:11.700 --> 00:38:12.019
 Jesus

00:38:12.019 --> 00:38:13.720
 we

00:38:13.720 --> 00:38:14.620
 fast

00:38:14.620 --> 00:38:15.539
 because

00:38:15.539 --> 00:38:16.519
 we can

00:38:16.519 --> 00:38:17.079
 freely

00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:20.139
 fasting

00:38:20.139 --> 00:38:21.239
 as many

00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:21.480
 of the

00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:21.739
 spiritual

00:38:21.739 --> 00:38:22.219
 disciplines

00:38:22.219 --> 00:38:22.519
 that we

00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:22.860
 have

00:38:22.860 --> 00:38:23.559
 the means

00:38:23.559 --> 00:38:24.039
 of grace

00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:24.539
 the habits

00:38:24.539 --> 00:38:24.940
 of grace

00:38:24.940 --> 00:38:25.239
 that we

00:38:25.239 --> 00:38:25.619
 have

00:38:25.619 --> 00:38:27.759
 reading

00:38:27.759 --> 00:38:28.279
 scripture

00:38:28.279 --> 00:38:30.259
 coming to

00:38:30.259 --> 00:38:30.719
 church

00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:32.559
 fasting

00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:35.119
 praying

00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:36.000
 these are

00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:36.860
 all means

00:38:36.860 --> 00:38:37.679
 of grace

00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:38.159
 that God

00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:38.619
 has given

00:38:38.619 --> 00:38:39.039
 us

00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:42.299
 that are

00:38:42.299 --> 00:38:42.779
 meant to

00:38:42.779 --> 00:38:43.840
 refocus

00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:45.159
 to sharpen

00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:45.599
 us

00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:46.880
 to refocus

00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:47.460
 our heart

00:38:47.460 --> 00:38:47.820
 and our

00:38:47.820 --> 00:38:48.260
 minds

00:38:48.260 --> 00:38:49.180
 to God

00:38:49.180 --> 00:38:50.079
 to fill

00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:50.400
 our

00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:51.460
 affections

00:38:51.460 --> 00:38:52.480
 afresh

00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:54.260
 for God

00:38:54.260 --> 00:38:54.820
 himself

00:38:54.820 --> 00:38:56.940
 to keep

00:38:56.940 --> 00:38:57.240
 us on

00:38:57.240 --> 00:38:57.820
 the path

00:38:57.820 --> 00:39:01.599
 so when

00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:02.220
 we physically

00:39:02.220 --> 00:39:02.980
 fast

00:39:02.980 --> 00:39:04.400
 when we

00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:05.059
 are physically

00:39:05.059 --> 00:39:05.680
 going through

00:39:05.680 --> 00:39:06.280
 the spiritual

00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:06.800
 disciplines

00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:07.160
 that we

00:39:07.160 --> 00:39:07.640
 have in

00:39:07.640 --> 00:39:08.140
 this life

00:39:08.140 --> 00:39:10.380
 we are

00:39:10.380 --> 00:39:11.160
 doing so

00:39:11.160 --> 00:39:12.039
 out of the

00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:12.720
 reality that

00:39:12.720 --> 00:39:13.200
 we are in

00:39:13.200 --> 00:39:13.880
 a time of

00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:15.099
 spiritual

00:39:15.099 --> 00:39:15.640
 fasting

00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:17.819
 we are

00:39:17.819 --> 00:39:18.019
 in a

00:39:18.019 --> 00:39:18.699
 time of

00:39:18.699 --> 00:39:19.119
 spiritual

00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:19.659
 fasting

00:39:19.659 --> 00:39:20.719
 enjoying

00:39:20.719 --> 00:39:21.579
 or sorry

00:39:21.579 --> 00:39:21.980
 in

00:39:21.980 --> 00:39:22.659
 spiritual

00:39:22.659 --> 00:39:23.500
 feasting

00:39:23.500 --> 00:39:24.619
 enjoying

00:39:24.619 --> 00:39:25.759
 and celebrating

00:39:25.759 --> 00:39:26.980
 that

00:39:26.980 --> 00:39:27.599
 everything

00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:30.299
 everything we

00:39:30.299 --> 00:39:31.059
 need to be

00:39:31.059 --> 00:39:31.679
 made right

00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:32.420
 before God

00:39:32.420 --> 00:39:33.279
 and to live

00:39:33.279 --> 00:39:33.859
 a life of

00:39:33.859 --> 00:39:34.259
 godliness

00:39:34.259 --> 00:39:34.980
 has been

00:39:34.980 --> 00:39:36.000
 abundantly

00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:37.500
 provided for

00:39:37.500 --> 00:39:37.859
 us in

00:39:37.859 --> 00:39:38.420
 Christ Jesus

00:39:38.420 --> 00:39:39.539
 our bread

00:39:39.539 --> 00:39:40.059
 of life

00:39:40.059 --> 00:39:42.000
 we

00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:42.480
 Christians

00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:43.039
 on this

00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:43.279
 side of

00:39:43.279 --> 00:39:43.619
 the cross

00:39:43.619 --> 00:39:44.219
 are in

00:39:44.219 --> 00:39:44.860
 the reign

00:39:44.860 --> 00:39:45.840
 of God's

00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:46.579
 grace

00:39:46.579 --> 00:39:47.519
 we are

00:39:47.519 --> 00:39:48.159
 enjoying

00:39:48.159 --> 00:39:48.579
 it to

00:39:48.579 --> 00:39:49.039
 the full

00:39:49.039 --> 00:39:51.460
 so when

00:39:51.460 --> 00:39:52.259
 we sin

00:39:52.259 --> 00:39:52.820
 and we

00:39:52.820 --> 00:39:53.539
 fall short

00:39:53.539 --> 00:39:54.019
 in this

00:39:54.019 --> 00:39:55.279
 broken world

00:39:55.279 --> 00:39:56.059
 and in our

00:39:56.059 --> 00:39:56.860
 sinful flesh

00:39:56.860 --> 00:39:58.139
 we remember

00:39:58.139 --> 00:39:59.699
 those words

00:39:59.699 --> 00:40:00.679
 spoken to

00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:01.360
 the paralytic

00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:03.400
 take heart

00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:05.519
 your sins

00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:06.539
 are forgiven

00:40:06.539 --> 00:40:08.039
 and we

00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:08.680
 reap

00:40:08.680 --> 00:40:09.740
 the benefits

00:40:09.740 --> 00:40:10.539
 that have

00:40:10.539 --> 00:40:10.960
 been given

00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:11.579
 to us

00:40:11.579 --> 00:40:12.019
 through

00:40:12.019 --> 00:40:12.539
 Christ

00:40:12.539 --> 00:40:13.780
 we reap

00:40:13.780 --> 00:40:14.440
 the benefits

00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:15.160
 of repentance

00:40:15.160 --> 00:40:16.119
 and take

00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:16.700
 delight

00:40:16.700 --> 00:40:17.480
 in knowing

00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:18.579
 God's

00:40:18.579 --> 00:40:18.980
 mercy

00:40:18.980 --> 00:40:19.760
 covers

00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:20.740
 all our

00:40:20.740 --> 00:40:21.119
 sins

00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:22.200
 past

00:40:22.200 --> 00:40:22.900
 present

00:40:22.900 --> 00:40:23.559
 and future

00:40:23.559 --> 00:40:24.579
 we get to

00:40:24.579 --> 00:40:25.059
 live in

00:40:25.059 --> 00:40:25.400
 the good

00:40:25.400 --> 00:40:25.860
 of that

00:40:25.860 --> 00:40:30.079
 as

00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:30.640
 Soren

00:40:30.640 --> 00:40:31.380
 Kierkegaard

00:40:31.380 --> 00:40:32.320
 once said

00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:35.099
 a person

00:40:35.099 --> 00:40:35.800
 rests

00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:36.800
 in the

00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:37.079
 forgiveness

00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:37.800
 of sins

00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:38.559
 when the

00:40:38.559 --> 00:40:38.960
 thought of

00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:39.260
 God

00:40:39.260 --> 00:40:39.960
 no longer

00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:40.700
 reminds him

00:40:40.700 --> 00:40:41.200
 of the

00:40:41.200 --> 00:40:41.460
 sin

00:40:41.460 --> 00:40:43.099
 but of

00:40:43.099 --> 00:40:43.680
 the fact

00:40:43.680 --> 00:40:44.240
 that he

00:40:44.240 --> 00:40:44.900
 is forgiven

00:40:44.900 --> 00:40:46.340
 so that

00:40:46.340 --> 00:40:46.760
 what is

00:40:46.760 --> 00:40:47.240
 past

00:40:47.240 --> 00:40:47.579
 is not

00:40:47.579 --> 00:40:47.960
 remembering

00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:48.519
 how much

00:40:48.519 --> 00:40:49.320
 he sinned

00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:50.519
 but of

00:40:50.519 --> 00:40:51.180
 how much

00:40:51.180 --> 00:40:52.019
 he has

00:40:52.019 --> 00:40:52.260
 been

00:40:52.260 --> 00:40:52.680
 forgiven

00:40:52.680 --> 00:40:55.680
 friends

00:40:55.679 --> 00:40:56.199
 when we

00:40:56.199 --> 00:40:57.319
 sit

00:40:57.319 --> 00:40:58.239
 in the

00:40:58.239 --> 00:40:58.559
 shadow

00:40:58.559 --> 00:40:58.960
 of the

00:40:58.960 --> 00:40:59.399
 cross

00:40:59.399 --> 00:41:01.119
 I

00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:01.539
 encourage

00:41:01.539 --> 00:41:01.799
 you

00:41:01.799 --> 00:41:02.919
 remember

00:41:02.919 --> 00:41:04.339
 to sit

00:41:04.339 --> 00:41:04.839
 at the

00:41:04.839 --> 00:41:05.079
 foot

00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:05.379
 of the

00:41:05.379 --> 00:41:05.839
 cross

00:41:05.839 --> 00:41:07.480
 to sit

00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:07.899
 in its

00:41:07.899 --> 00:41:08.339
 shadow

00:41:08.339 --> 00:41:10.759
 to know

00:41:10.759 --> 00:41:11.179
 of the

00:41:11.179 --> 00:41:11.519
 great

00:41:11.519 --> 00:41:12.399
 mercy

00:41:12.399 --> 00:41:13.219
 that has

00:41:13.219 --> 00:41:13.659
 been poured

00:41:13.659 --> 00:41:14.139
 out for

00:41:14.139 --> 00:41:14.619
 you and

00:41:14.619 --> 00:41:15.059
 for me

00:41:15.059 --> 00:41:16.579
 to soak

00:41:16.579 --> 00:41:17.000
 it in

00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:18.519
 when we

00:41:18.519 --> 00:41:19.099
 do that

00:41:19.099 --> 00:41:19.919
 we will

00:41:19.919 --> 00:41:20.259
 be able

00:41:20.259 --> 00:41:20.980
 to

00:41:20.980 --> 00:41:21.719
 extend

00:41:21.719 --> 00:41:22.940
 mercy

00:41:22.940 --> 00:41:24.099
 compassion

00:41:24.099 --> 00:41:24.779
 and

00:41:24.779 --> 00:41:25.319
 forgiveness

00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:27.920
 it will

00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:28.500
 change

00:41:28.500 --> 00:41:28.720
 you

00:41:28.720 --> 00:41:29.100
 it will

00:41:29.100 --> 00:41:29.620
 transform

00:41:29.620 --> 00:41:30.080
 you

00:41:30.080 --> 00:41:30.940
 to

00:41:30.940 --> 00:41:31.320
 live

00:41:31.320 --> 00:41:31.539
 a

00:41:31.539 --> 00:41:31.840
 life

00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:32.039
 that

00:41:32.039 --> 00:41:32.180
 is

00:41:32.180 --> 00:41:32.680
 pleasing

00:41:32.680 --> 00:41:34.260
 to

00:41:34.260 --> 00:41:34.680
 God

00:41:34.680 --> 00:41:40.780
 and

00:41:40.780 --> 00:41:40.880
 you

00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:41.180
 get to

00:41:41.180 --> 00:41:41.600
 enjoy

00:41:41.600 --> 00:41:41.820
 the

00:41:41.820 --> 00:41:42.180
 forgiveness

00:41:42.180 --> 00:41:42.620
 of your

00:41:42.620 --> 00:41:43.019
 sins

00:41:43.019 --> 00:41:43.980
 I

00:41:43.980 --> 00:41:44.220
 believe

00:41:44.220 --> 00:41:45.019
 that's

00:41:45.019 --> 00:41:45.440
 peak

00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:46.860
 Christian

00:41:46.860 --> 00:41:47.400
 maturity

00:41:47.400 --> 00:41:49.059
 is when

00:41:49.059 --> 00:41:49.400
 you're not

00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:49.760
 dwelling

00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:50.280
 on your

00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:50.820
 sin

00:41:50.820 --> 00:41:54.220
 oh man

00:41:54.220 --> 00:41:54.720
 I sinned

00:41:54.720 --> 00:41:55.000
 again

00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:55.440
 I screwed

00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:55.600
 up

00:41:55.600 --> 00:41:56.100
 again

00:41:56.100 --> 00:41:59.519
 but no

00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:01.600
 looking at

00:42:01.600 --> 00:42:02.160
 the cross

00:42:02.160 --> 00:42:03.940
 knowing in

00:42:03.940 --> 00:42:04.340
 that great

00:42:04.340 --> 00:42:04.700
 mercy

00:42:04.700 --> 00:42:05.340
 that you

00:42:05.340 --> 00:42:05.680
 don't

00:42:05.680 --> 00:42:06.140
 deserve

00:42:06.140 --> 00:42:06.820
 that God

00:42:06.820 --> 00:42:07.320
 has shown

00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:07.620
 you

00:42:07.620 --> 00:42:09.019
 and delighting

00:42:09.019 --> 00:42:09.420
 in it

00:42:09.420 --> 00:42:11.580
 enjoying

00:42:11.580 --> 00:42:12.039
 it

00:42:12.039 --> 00:42:13.019
 and seeing

00:42:13.019 --> 00:42:13.640
 how much

00:42:13.640 --> 00:42:14.360
 you have

00:42:14.360 --> 00:42:15.460
 been forgiven

00:42:15.460 --> 00:42:16.360
 because we

00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:16.820
 have been

00:42:16.820 --> 00:42:17.220
 forgiven

00:42:17.220 --> 00:42:18.119
 of much

00:42:18.119 --> 00:42:24.220
 as I

00:42:24.220 --> 00:42:24.679
 wrap up

00:42:24.679 --> 00:42:25.740
 and I

00:42:25.740 --> 00:42:27.079
 draw our

00:42:27.079 --> 00:42:27.400
 attention

00:42:27.400 --> 00:42:27.860
 as we

00:42:27.860 --> 00:42:28.240
 looked at

00:42:28.240 --> 00:42:28.579
 these three

00:42:28.579 --> 00:42:28.840
 different

00:42:28.840 --> 00:42:29.280
 stories

00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:30.199
 we have

00:42:30.199 --> 00:42:30.559
 seen

00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:30.800
 this

00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:31.400
 contrast

00:42:31.400 --> 00:42:32.980
 in these

00:42:32.980 --> 00:42:33.139
 three

00:42:33.139 --> 00:42:33.340
 different

00:42:33.340 --> 00:42:33.740
 stories

00:42:33.740 --> 00:42:34.139
 between

00:42:34.139 --> 00:42:35.019
 the old

00:42:35.019 --> 00:42:35.320
 wine

00:42:35.320 --> 00:42:35.559
 as you

00:42:35.559 --> 00:42:36.099
 may say

00:42:36.099 --> 00:42:37.800
 and the

00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:37.960
 new

00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:38.260
 wine

00:42:38.260 --> 00:42:39.280
 the contrast

00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:39.660
 between

00:42:39.660 --> 00:42:39.880
 this

00:42:39.880 --> 00:42:40.580
 traditional

00:42:40.580 --> 00:42:41.340
 Jewish

00:42:41.340 --> 00:42:41.920
 piety

00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:43.120
 and the

00:42:43.120 --> 00:42:43.380
 kingdom

00:42:43.380 --> 00:42:43.940
 of God

00:42:43.940 --> 00:42:45.740
 my friends

00:42:45.740 --> 00:42:46.700
 Jesus has

00:42:46.700 --> 00:42:47.080
 brought

00:42:47.080 --> 00:42:47.840
 the new

00:42:47.840 --> 00:42:48.200
 wine

00:42:48.200 --> 00:42:49.060
 he has

00:42:49.060 --> 00:42:49.480
 ushered

00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:49.760
 in the

00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:49.960
 kingdom

00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:50.400
 of God

00:42:50.400 --> 00:42:51.040
 and he

00:42:51.040 --> 00:42:51.300
 has

00:42:51.300 --> 00:42:52.020
 prepared

00:42:52.020 --> 00:42:53.020
 a feast

00:42:53.020 --> 00:42:53.700
 for you

00:42:53.700 --> 00:42:54.020
 and for

00:42:54.020 --> 00:42:54.260
 me

00:42:54.260 --> 00:42:56.700
 it's the

00:42:56.700 --> 00:42:57.220
 wine of

00:42:57.220 --> 00:42:57.580
 the new

00:42:57.580 --> 00:42:57.960
 covenant

00:42:57.960 --> 00:42:59.620
 it's the

00:42:59.620 --> 00:43:00.280
 blood of

00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:00.800
 his life

00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:01.640
 sacrificed

00:43:01.640 --> 00:43:02.680
 poured

00:43:02.680 --> 00:43:03.280
 out for

00:43:03.280 --> 00:43:03.920
 all

00:43:03.920 --> 00:43:05.440
 all

00:43:05.440 --> 00:43:06.100
 who would

00:43:06.100 --> 00:43:06.580
 come to

00:43:06.580 --> 00:43:06.840
 him

00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:07.420
 all

00:43:07.420 --> 00:43:07.980
 who would

00:43:07.980 --> 00:43:08.519
 believe

00:43:08.519 --> 00:43:10.820
 there are

00:43:10.820 --> 00:43:11.659
 no limits

00:43:11.659 --> 00:43:12.940
 to who

00:43:12.940 --> 00:43:13.880
 can receive
