00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.399
 I took this photo back in 2007.

00:00:02.940 --> 00:00:05.759
 There's a bunch of photos of the only one I took in 2007.

00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:10.259
 But this one, and there's another one there, it's Galatian National Park.

00:00:10.700 --> 00:00:12.519
 It's on the edge of the Canadian Rockies.

00:00:13.939 --> 00:00:18.640
 I, Natalie, who was pregnant at the time, that little thing,

00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:22.920
 and two other people, that little thing's now called Isabel,

00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:30.000
 so we're about to go on a hike, and discovering it wasn't going to be an easy stroll.

00:00:30.100 --> 00:00:31.880
 We looked at where we'd come ahead, and we're like,

00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:33.700
 it's going to be a little bit hard, I think.

00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:39.840
 The trail was narrow, the trail was steep, the ground under our feet was standing loose.

00:00:40.120 --> 00:00:42.480
 Now, I've done a little bit of hiking in my time.

00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:45.900
 I used to work for the National Parks and Wildlife Service in New South Wales.

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:51.200
 Many years ago, one of my jobs was to build, to maintain walking tracks,

00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.300
 which meant that I had to walk among those walking tracks.

00:00:54.420 --> 00:00:58.160
 One of the principles I had in building a walking track was,

00:00:58.460 --> 00:01:02.440
 if I'm going to make this thing, and I'm going to have to maintain this thing,

00:01:02.540 --> 00:01:04.299
 they're going to make it easy to maintain it.

00:01:04.859 --> 00:01:09.900
 So, which means it's going to be wide, I'm going to be able to ride cod bikes up and down this track,

00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.500
 it's going to be as level as we possibly can,

00:01:13.579 --> 00:01:17.159
 go the long way around to make it an easy terrain, rather than up the side of the hill.

00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:20.719
 That kind of principle was a thing I even managed to convince,

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.620
 my immediate supervisor to buy a little bulldozer for me,

00:01:24.700 --> 00:01:28.439
 so I could just drive through the bush, rather than having to use axes and stuff like that.

00:01:29.320 --> 00:01:30.680
 And, yeah, there you go, there's your trail.

00:01:31.579 --> 00:01:36.159
 So, this day in Canada, when I looked at this, it wasn't so much the effort,

00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.379
 even though I realised there was a little bit more effort involved in hiking this one,

00:01:40.600 --> 00:01:45.260
 what worried me was the reading material that I had on the way to the hike.

00:01:45.260 --> 00:01:50.939
 As we drove to the head of the trail, I was reading up on some park information,

00:01:51.140 --> 00:01:56.219
 you know, like a collection of National Park newspaper kind of thing that I picked up in the information centre.

00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:02.600
 And in the middle of this was a whole lift-out section on how to survive

00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:06.899
 the many animals that are going to try and kill you as you go for a walk in the National Park.

00:02:08.299 --> 00:02:11.840
 And, you know, in Australia, worst-case scenario is a snake.

00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.780
 You know, and they're trying to get away with an awesome, you know,

00:02:15.019 --> 00:02:18.120
 rampant, you know, koala who's got some of their endeavor against people.

00:02:18.579 --> 00:02:19.939
 Now, apart from that,

00:02:20.939 --> 00:02:23.659
 there's not so many other worries in this country to go for a hike.

00:02:23.659 --> 00:02:26.639
 But in this section, it's got advice on cougars.

00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:28.939
 Be careful, cougars, mountain lions.

00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.319
 What they do is they pick out their target,

00:02:31.620 --> 00:02:33.340
 they stalk you for some time,

00:02:33.859 --> 00:02:36.560
 and then they jump on you from behind and from above.

00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:38.620
 They, you know, wait for you to get through some sort of ravine,

00:02:38.699 --> 00:02:40.060
 then leap on you from behind.

00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:41.859
 It's like, before you know it,

00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.599
 your face is getting caught off by some cougar.

00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:46.060
 And it's like, fantastic.

00:02:46.539 --> 00:02:48.419
 Okay, so leave the cougars aside.

00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:51.479
 There's the black bears.

00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:53.500
 And it says, the advice here is,

00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.359
 if it's a black bear you're confronted with,

00:02:56.699 --> 00:02:59.799
 you've got to make yourself look really big and yell at me.

00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:00.799
 Yell, yell, yell.

00:03:01.019 --> 00:03:03.419
 And that will generally freak them out

00:03:03.419 --> 00:03:05.079
 and they'll run away, hopefully.

00:03:05.699 --> 00:03:09.179
 But don't mistake the black bear for the grizzly bear.

00:03:09.699 --> 00:03:11.719
 You do good to the grizzly bear,

00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.739
 and the grizzly bear will assure it's a challenge on its territory

00:03:15.739 --> 00:03:17.479
 and it will immediately attack you.

00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:22.340
 And so here's the advice being attacked by a grizzly bear.

00:03:22.959 --> 00:03:26.139
 Now, it's really awful advice.

00:03:27.060 --> 00:03:28.859
 You're meant to remain calm.

00:03:29.419 --> 00:03:30.739
 Okay, that's the first tip.

00:03:31.019 --> 00:03:31.539
 Right, tip.

00:03:32.539 --> 00:03:35.859
 You're meant to lay down as if you are dead

00:03:35.859 --> 00:03:37.120
 in a fetal position

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.839
 and you're meant to time the attack.

00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:46.640
 Hang on a bit there.

00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:47.719
 Click.

00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:48.259
 Go.

00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:49.699
 Right, okay.

00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:51.920
 If it gets to two minutes,

00:03:52.259 --> 00:03:54.900
 if the bear's been chewing on your leg for two minutes,

00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:57.500
 apparently that means it's a serious attack.

00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:01.060
 Okay, it's serious at that moment

00:04:01.060 --> 00:04:04.159
 and it means that if it's still going for two minutes,

00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:06.020
 then it's likely to keep going.

00:04:06.020 --> 00:04:08.180
 And so right now is the time to,

00:04:08.540 --> 00:04:09.740
 now that it's got your leg,

00:04:10.040 --> 00:04:11.520
 now it's the plan to fight back.

00:04:11.939 --> 00:04:13.800
 Right, I reckon it's a bit late, that advice.

00:04:14.260 --> 00:04:17.680
 But that's how you handle grizzly bears.

00:04:17.980 --> 00:04:19.579
 Apparently they just get sick of you

00:04:19.579 --> 00:04:20.639
 and eventually walk away.

00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:21.500
 On most cases,

00:04:21.620 --> 00:04:23.079
 except a lot of people are being killed by grizzly bears.

00:04:23.420 --> 00:04:23.740
 But anyway,

00:04:23.740 --> 00:04:27.000
 now it says there

00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.360
 you have to be particularly careful

00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.920
 when there's a grizzly bear with cubs.

00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:35.480
 They're especially aggressive

00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.100
 when they have their cubs with them,

00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:40.660
 something to do with sleep deprivation

00:04:40.660 --> 00:04:41.460
 or something like that.

00:04:42.900 --> 00:04:43.960
 And so,

00:04:44.259 --> 00:04:45.500
 on this particular day,

00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:45.980
 ask him,

00:04:46.100 --> 00:04:46.800
 she knows what it's like.

00:04:47.139 --> 00:04:47.680
 Ask him.

00:04:49.980 --> 00:04:52.439
 On this particular day,

00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:53.699
 you turn up to this track

00:04:53.699 --> 00:04:55.180
 and you find this sign

00:04:55.180 --> 00:04:57.319
 on the front of the trails

00:04:57.319 --> 00:04:58.879
 where the female grizzly

00:04:58.879 --> 00:04:59.779
 with two cubs

00:04:59.779 --> 00:05:00.699
 on this track

00:05:00.699 --> 00:05:01.399
 the day before.

00:05:02.899 --> 00:05:03.920
 And you're going,

00:05:05.060 --> 00:05:06.040
 do we walk?

00:05:06.139 --> 00:05:07.220
 Do we not walk?

00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:07.519
 You know,

00:05:07.579 --> 00:05:08.360
 what do we do here?

00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:09.360
 Apparently,

00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:12.579
 getting a bit of information like that

00:05:12.579 --> 00:05:14.000
 means that you must be prepared.

00:05:14.300 --> 00:05:15.019
 You must prepare

00:05:15.019 --> 00:05:15.980
 for what's about to come.

00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:17.220
 And the recommendation

00:05:17.220 --> 00:05:19.040
 to be prepared

00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:20.259
 in this scenario

00:05:20.259 --> 00:05:21.639
 is to have a can

00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:23.319
 of bear spray with you.

00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:24.379
 Now,

00:05:24.500 --> 00:05:25.099
 I've got a can

00:05:25.099 --> 00:05:26.159
 of fly spray in my office.

00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:27.000
 It's about this big.

00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:28.240
 I've got a can

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:29.459
 of wasp spray in my office.

00:05:29.539 --> 00:05:30.339
 It's about this big.

00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:30.860
 So you can imagine

00:05:30.860 --> 00:05:31.459
 the size

00:05:31.459 --> 00:05:32.920
 the bear spray is.

00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:33.719
 And it's

00:05:33.719 --> 00:05:35.019
 some sort of pepper spray

00:05:35.019 --> 00:05:35.560
 kind of thing.

00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:36.459
 It apparently distracts

00:05:36.459 --> 00:05:36.839
 it enough

00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:37.300
 and blinds

00:05:37.300 --> 00:05:38.099
 if you're going to run away

00:05:38.099 --> 00:05:38.639
 or something like that.

00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:40.300
 But we didn't have

00:05:40.300 --> 00:05:41.039
 any bear spray.

00:05:41.500 --> 00:05:42.140
 All we had

00:05:42.140 --> 00:05:43.400
 was some hair spray

00:05:43.400 --> 00:05:43.980
 and

00:05:43.980 --> 00:05:46.460
 seriously,

00:05:46.740 --> 00:05:47.680
 that's all we can come up with.

00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:48.400
 And so

00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:50.400
 we had this hair spray

00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:51.860
 and so my friend's going,

00:05:51.980 --> 00:05:52.980
 let's make it a flame fry.

00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:54.120
 So I had a box of matches.

00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:54.980
 He's sprayed

00:05:54.980 --> 00:05:56.000
 and we're trying to make this,

00:05:56.340 --> 00:05:56.580
 you know,

00:05:56.700 --> 00:05:57.480
 six matches

00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:58.120
 we'd went out

00:05:58.120 --> 00:05:58.939
 and spizzle

00:05:58.939 --> 00:05:59.780
 with it.

00:05:59.960 --> 00:06:00.180
 You know,

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:01.300
 we couldn't make this

00:06:01.300 --> 00:06:02.200
 thing work

00:06:02.200 --> 00:06:03.160
 into a flame fry.

00:06:03.500 --> 00:06:04.259
 So instead

00:06:04.259 --> 00:06:05.120
 I got a big stick

00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:05.980
 and then we went.

00:06:06.060 --> 00:06:06.620
 We're not at high.

00:06:06.900 --> 00:06:07.840
 But as we walked

00:06:07.840 --> 00:06:09.060
 on that walk

00:06:09.060 --> 00:06:11.079
 constantly looking around

00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:12.579
 for cougars,

00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:13.500
 wolverines,

00:06:13.660 --> 00:06:14.420
 black bears,

00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:14.759
 you know,

00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:15.500
 grizzly bears

00:06:15.500 --> 00:06:16.680
 and anything else

00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:17.600
 that would make the grass

00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:18.660
 and the trees rustle.

00:06:19.420 --> 00:06:19.620
 You see,

00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:20.160
 it's crucial

00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:21.300
 to know

00:06:21.300 --> 00:06:22.519
 what to expect

00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:24.399
 on a hike like that

00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:25.699
 in order to be prepared.

00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:27.420
 Which is what we're about to do

00:06:27.420 --> 00:06:28.600
 for the next six weeks.

00:06:28.740 --> 00:06:29.120
 We're going to have

00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:30.000
 a walk with Jesus

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:31.800
 in Luke's Gospel.

00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:32.500
 That's the same way.

00:06:33.060 --> 00:06:33.680
 We're going to have

00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:34.279
 a walk with Jesus

00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:35.060
 in Luke's Gospel

00:06:35.060 --> 00:06:35.939
 because that's what

00:06:35.939 --> 00:06:36.560
 Jesus is doing.

00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:37.160
 In Luke,

00:06:37.779 --> 00:06:39.000
 he is in

00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:39.819
 chapter 9,

00:06:40.180 --> 00:06:41.240
 he is starting

00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:42.699
 a walk to Jerusalem.

00:06:44.300 --> 00:06:45.519
 And this walk,

00:06:45.939 --> 00:06:47.259
 Jesus makes it clear

00:06:47.259 --> 00:06:48.240
 to his disciples

00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:48.920
 and to us,

00:06:49.420 --> 00:06:50.420
 this is not

00:06:50.420 --> 00:06:51.259
 an easy journey.

00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:51.879
 This walk

00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:52.899
 you're about to go on

00:06:52.899 --> 00:06:54.639
 is a dangerous walk,

00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:55.920
 it's a hard walk

00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:57.300
 and yet it's a walk

00:06:57.300 --> 00:06:58.680
 that he calls us

00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:00.759
 on to with him.

00:07:01.220 --> 00:07:01.680
 He calls us

00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:02.339
 to come with him

00:07:02.339 --> 00:07:02.860
 on this one.

00:07:05.100 --> 00:07:06.220
 And this is a crucial

00:07:06.220 --> 00:07:07.000
 one for us

00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:08.339
 as a church,

00:07:08.339 --> 00:07:09.279
 as I said,

00:07:09.339 --> 00:07:10.039
 I look forward

00:07:10.039 --> 00:07:11.139
 to Vision Series

00:07:11.139 --> 00:07:11.959
 every year.

00:07:13.139 --> 00:07:14.099
 In watching

00:07:14.099 --> 00:07:15.279
 Vision 2020,

00:07:16.119 --> 00:07:17.000
 which is the

00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:18.679
 ministry agenda

00:07:18.679 --> 00:07:19.479
 which shapes us

00:07:19.479 --> 00:07:20.219
 as a church,

00:07:20.679 --> 00:07:21.219
 I did it back

00:07:21.219 --> 00:07:22.299
 in 2009,

00:07:23.099 --> 00:07:24.079
 I said then

00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:24.839
 and I've repeated

00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:25.719
 a number of times

00:07:25.719 --> 00:07:26.679
 since 2009,

00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:27.599
 my intention

00:07:27.599 --> 00:07:29.459
 was to lead us

00:07:29.459 --> 00:07:30.279
 as a church

00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:31.539
 into a new era

00:07:31.539 --> 00:07:32.919
 of significant

00:07:32.919 --> 00:07:34.439
 personal sacrifice

00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:35.159
 for the glory

00:07:35.159 --> 00:07:35.779
 of God

00:07:35.779 --> 00:07:36.359
 in the mission

00:07:36.359 --> 00:07:36.619
 field

00:07:36.619 --> 00:07:37.500
 in the chief spaces

00:07:37.500 --> 00:07:38.319
 in our time.

00:07:40.779 --> 00:07:42.019
 And our Vision Series

00:07:42.019 --> 00:07:42.959
 is a time

00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:44.000
 every year

00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:45.599
 when I call us

00:07:45.599 --> 00:07:46.339
 as a church

00:07:46.339 --> 00:07:47.299
 and I do it myself,

00:07:47.419 --> 00:07:48.099
 I've been working

00:07:48.099 --> 00:07:49.139
 on this myself

00:07:49.139 --> 00:07:50.659
 for a number

00:07:50.659 --> 00:07:51.899
 of months already,

00:07:52.579 --> 00:07:53.479
 getting ready

00:07:53.479 --> 00:07:54.179
 for this

00:07:54.179 --> 00:07:56.719
 in its various forms

00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:57.860
 and what God

00:07:57.860 --> 00:07:58.280
 has placed

00:07:58.280 --> 00:07:58.800
 in my heart

00:07:58.800 --> 00:07:59.440
 especially

00:07:59.440 --> 00:08:00.640
 in the last month

00:08:00.640 --> 00:08:04.240
 realises

00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:05.160
 what He's calling

00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:05.900
 me to

00:08:05.900 --> 00:08:06.860
 and the same

00:08:06.860 --> 00:08:07.980
 He's calling you to

00:08:07.980 --> 00:08:09.860
 is to die

00:08:09.860 --> 00:08:11.480
 a little more

00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.700
 in order to live

00:08:13.700 --> 00:08:14.960
 a little more.

00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:17.440
 It's trying to give up

00:08:17.440 --> 00:08:18.060
 some more.

00:08:18.180 --> 00:08:18.580
 This is what we do

00:08:18.580 --> 00:08:19.420
 every Christmas here

00:08:19.420 --> 00:08:20.420
 to call us

00:08:20.420 --> 00:08:20.880
 as a church

00:08:20.880 --> 00:08:21.960
 to give up some more,

00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:23.260
 to surrender some more,

00:08:23.320 --> 00:08:24.220
 to commit to Jesus

00:08:24.220 --> 00:08:24.580
 some more,

00:08:24.579 --> 00:08:26.039
 to obey Jesus

00:08:26.039 --> 00:08:26.399
 some more

00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:27.139
 and to find

00:08:27.139 --> 00:08:28.079
 more freedom

00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:29.139
 and more joy

00:08:29.139 --> 00:08:29.639
 in Him

00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:30.519
 as you do that.

00:08:32.460 --> 00:08:33.220
 My call back

00:08:33.220 --> 00:08:34.419
 in 2009

00:08:34.419 --> 00:08:35.199
 is the same

00:08:35.199 --> 00:08:36.819
 as what it is

00:08:36.819 --> 00:08:37.419
 today.

00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:38.699
 May we

00:08:38.699 --> 00:08:39.439
 as a church

00:08:39.439 --> 00:08:40.279
 tremble,

00:08:41.059 --> 00:08:41.759
 tremble

00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:43.399
 not that the price

00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:44.759
 is too high

00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:45.860
 to pursue

00:08:45.860 --> 00:08:46.759
 the glory of God

00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:47.720
 in Chatswood

00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:49.620
 but that our vision

00:08:49.620 --> 00:08:50.480
 to do so

00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:51.860
 is way too small.

00:08:52.079 --> 00:08:53.139
 May that be our trembling.

00:08:53.139 --> 00:08:55.120
 that our vision

00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:56.019
 for God's glory

00:08:56.019 --> 00:08:57.179
 is too small.

00:08:58.100 --> 00:08:59.019
 I don't want to ever

00:08:59.019 --> 00:09:00.279
 get into the presence

00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:00.919
 of God

00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:01.500
 and for Him

00:09:01.500 --> 00:09:01.779
 to say,

00:09:01.860 --> 00:09:02.720
 see what are you thinking?

00:09:02.860 --> 00:09:03.879
 If you ask

00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:05.179
 for 10,000

00:09:05.179 --> 00:09:05.779
 I wouldn't give you

00:09:05.779 --> 00:09:06.580
 a 10,000.

00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:11.519
 Our purpose,

00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:11.919
 our vision,

00:09:12.019 --> 00:09:12.460
 our values

00:09:12.460 --> 00:09:12.980
 and cause

00:09:12.980 --> 00:09:13.480
 cause us

00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:14.019
 to be radical

00:09:14.019 --> 00:09:14.600
 disciples

00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:15.379
 of the Lord Jesus.

00:09:16.460 --> 00:09:16.899
 Now the word

00:09:16.899 --> 00:09:17.879
 disciple there

00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:18.759
 which is

00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:21.819
 deliberate,

00:09:21.820 --> 00:09:22.440
 using the word

00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:22.940
 disciple

00:09:22.940 --> 00:09:23.420
 as opposed

00:09:23.420 --> 00:09:24.180
 to Christian

00:09:24.180 --> 00:09:24.680
 here.

00:09:26.180 --> 00:09:26.760
 The word

00:09:26.760 --> 00:09:27.180
 Christian

00:09:27.180 --> 00:09:28.320
 has context

00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:28.920
 in terms

00:09:28.920 --> 00:09:29.700
 of our culture

00:09:29.700 --> 00:09:30.420
 and I'm a Christian

00:09:30.420 --> 00:09:30.840
 as opposed

00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:31.360
 to a Muslim

00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:32.200
 or my family

00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:32.860
 and I'm just

00:09:32.860 --> 00:09:33.600
 Christian.

00:09:33.740 --> 00:09:34.060
 It doesn't

00:09:34.060 --> 00:09:34.860
 necessarily

00:09:34.860 --> 00:09:35.720
 carry the way

00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:36.200
 it used to

00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:36.600
 but the word

00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:37.440
 disciple does.

00:09:37.700 --> 00:09:38.100
 It means

00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:38.460
 that we are

00:09:38.460 --> 00:09:39.260
 students

00:09:39.260 --> 00:09:40.120
 of the Lord

00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:40.480
 Jesus.

00:09:41.340 --> 00:09:42.300
 More specifically

00:09:42.300 --> 00:09:42.980
 what it means

00:09:42.980 --> 00:09:43.800
 is we are

00:09:43.800 --> 00:09:44.820
 under the

00:09:44.820 --> 00:09:45.600
 discipline

00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:46.880
 of the Lord

00:09:46.880 --> 00:09:47.220
 Jesus.

00:09:48.560 --> 00:09:49.020
 That's what

00:09:49.020 --> 00:09:50.000
 discipleship means.

00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:51.059
 We trust

00:09:51.059 --> 00:09:51.340
 him,

00:09:51.500 --> 00:09:51.980
 we obey

00:09:51.980 --> 00:09:52.259
 him.

00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:52.779
 When he

00:09:52.779 --> 00:09:53.539
 calls us

00:09:53.539 --> 00:09:54.360
 we do

00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:54.720
 what he

00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:55.179
 calls us

00:09:55.179 --> 00:09:55.580
 to do.

00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:55.919
 We don't

00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:56.340
 negotiate

00:09:56.340 --> 00:09:57.000
 with him

00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:00.059
 and my

00:10:00.059 --> 00:10:00.759
 concern

00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:02.519
 for myself

00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:03.799
 my concern

00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:04.419
 for you

00:10:04.419 --> 00:10:04.940
 my concern

00:10:04.940 --> 00:10:05.360
 for us

00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:06.059
 as a church

00:10:06.059 --> 00:10:06.960
 is that

00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:07.620
 those who

00:10:07.620 --> 00:10:08.440
 claim

00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:09.340
 to be

00:10:09.340 --> 00:10:09.899
 disciples

00:10:09.899 --> 00:10:10.220
 of the

00:10:10.220 --> 00:10:10.419
 Lord

00:10:10.419 --> 00:10:10.820
 Jesus

00:10:10.820 --> 00:10:12.279
 would not

00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:13.200
 provoke

00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:13.840
 him to

00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:14.340
 say

00:10:14.340 --> 00:10:15.120
 as he

00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:15.460
 does

00:10:15.460 --> 00:10:15.919
 in Luke

00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:16.679
 646

00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:18.799
 why do

00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:19.399
 you call

00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:19.639
 me

00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:20.139
 Lord

00:10:20.139 --> 00:10:20.699
 Lord

00:10:20.699 --> 00:10:22.319
 and do

00:10:22.319 --> 00:10:22.779
 not do

00:10:22.779 --> 00:10:23.359
 what I

00:10:23.359 --> 00:10:23.719
 say?

00:10:25.359 --> 00:10:25.939
 I don't

00:10:25.939 --> 00:10:26.979
 want to

00:10:26.979 --> 00:10:27.519
 provoke

00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:28.079
 Christ

00:10:28.079 --> 00:10:28.679
 to utter

00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:29.000
 those

00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:29.599
 words

00:10:29.599 --> 00:10:31.479
 again

00:10:31.479 --> 00:10:32.259
 of us.

00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:35.179
 The word

00:10:35.179 --> 00:10:35.539
 radical

00:10:35.539 --> 00:10:37.359
 comes from

00:10:37.359 --> 00:10:37.719
 the Latin

00:10:37.719 --> 00:10:38.120
 word

00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:38.620
 radical

00:10:38.620 --> 00:10:39.779
 which means

00:10:39.779 --> 00:10:40.359
 a root

00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:41.139
 it's a

00:10:41.139 --> 00:10:41.539
 word

00:10:41.539 --> 00:10:42.639
 that is

00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:43.680
 applied

00:10:43.680 --> 00:10:44.779
 to those

00:10:44.779 --> 00:10:45.039
 whose

00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:45.759
 ideas

00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:46.680
 or attitudes

00:10:46.680 --> 00:10:47.560
 or behaviours

00:10:47.560 --> 00:10:48.460
 go to the

00:10:48.460 --> 00:10:49.019
 core of the

00:10:49.019 --> 00:10:49.159
 issue

00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:49.639
 or to the

00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:50.259
 root of the

00:10:50.259 --> 00:10:50.680
 issue

00:10:50.680 --> 00:10:51.440
 and it

00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:52.159
 displays

00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:52.940
 a thorough

00:10:52.940 --> 00:10:53.279
 going

00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:53.879
 commitment.

00:10:56.019 --> 00:10:56.740
 That's why

00:10:56.740 --> 00:10:57.279
 we're using

00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:57.700
 the word

00:10:57.700 --> 00:10:58.240
 radical

00:10:58.240 --> 00:10:59.080
 this year

00:10:59.080 --> 00:10:59.519
 that's what

00:10:59.519 --> 00:10:59.879
 the whole

00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:00.720
 theme

00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:01.200
 for this

00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:01.600
 vision

00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:02.019
 series

00:11:02.019 --> 00:11:02.539
 is

00:11:02.539 --> 00:11:04.300
 and we

00:11:04.300 --> 00:11:04.920
 see it

00:11:04.920 --> 00:11:05.340
 as we

00:11:05.340 --> 00:11:06.200
 go into

00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:06.480
 Luke

00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:07.120
 chapter 9

00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:07.480
 so get

00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:07.920
 the Bibles

00:11:07.920 --> 00:11:08.240
 and the

00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:08.460
 service

00:11:08.460 --> 00:11:08.680
 sheets

00:11:08.680 --> 00:11:09.159
 open

00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:09.879
 we're

00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:10.139
 beginning

00:11:10.139 --> 00:11:10.480
 in Luke

00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:10.879
 9

00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:11.779
 this is

00:11:11.779 --> 00:11:12.399
 a major

00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:13.059
 turning point

00:11:13.059 --> 00:11:13.500
 in Luke's

00:11:13.500 --> 00:11:13.899
 gospel

00:11:13.899 --> 00:11:15.039
 for the

00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:15.939
 10 chapters

00:11:15.939 --> 00:11:16.600
 that follow

00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:17.500
 Luke 9

00:11:17.500 --> 00:11:18.439
 Jesus

00:11:18.439 --> 00:11:19.419
 is walking

00:11:19.419 --> 00:11:20.439
 a trail

00:11:20.439 --> 00:11:22.240
 he's on a

00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:22.559
 hike

00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:23.860
 he's heading

00:11:23.860 --> 00:11:24.559
 to Jerusalem

00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.519
 and Jerusalem

00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:27.839
 the destination

00:11:27.839 --> 00:11:29.740
 now looms

00:11:29.740 --> 00:11:30.899
 large

00:11:30.899 --> 00:11:31.659
 in Jesus

00:11:31.659 --> 00:11:32.459
 thoughts

00:11:32.459 --> 00:11:33.959
 it rises

00:11:33.959 --> 00:11:34.819
 ominously

00:11:34.819 --> 00:11:35.360
 over

00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:36.279
 everything

00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:37.019
 that follows

00:11:37.019 --> 00:11:37.500
 for Jesus

00:11:37.500 --> 00:11:38.379
 every word

00:11:38.379 --> 00:11:38.899
 he owes

00:11:38.899 --> 00:11:40.000
 it stands

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:40.559
 taller

00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:41.519
 and taller

00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:42.179
 and taller

00:11:42.179 --> 00:11:43.139
 with each

00:11:43.139 --> 00:11:43.659
 event

00:11:43.659 --> 00:11:44.459
 from here

00:11:44.459 --> 00:11:44.779
 to the

00:11:44.779 --> 00:11:45.059
 middle

00:11:45.059 --> 00:11:45.340
 of

00:11:45.340 --> 00:11:45.639
 chapter

00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:46.319
 19

00:11:46.319 --> 00:11:47.559
 and so

00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:47.959
 notice

00:11:47.959 --> 00:11:48.679
 verse 51

00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:50.019
 as the

00:11:50.019 --> 00:11:50.419
 time

00:11:50.419 --> 00:11:51.019
 approached

00:11:51.019 --> 00:11:51.959
 for him

00:11:51.959 --> 00:11:52.319
 to be

00:11:52.319 --> 00:11:52.819
 taken up

00:11:52.819 --> 00:11:53.159
 to heaven

00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:53.959
 Jesus

00:11:53.959 --> 00:11:54.899
 resolutely

00:11:54.899 --> 00:11:55.480
 set out

00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:56.079
 for Jerusalem

00:11:56.079 --> 00:11:57.519
 the rawness

00:11:57.519 --> 00:11:58.439
 of Luke's

00:11:58.439 --> 00:11:59.220
 words here

00:11:59.220 --> 00:11:59.919
 communicate

00:11:59.919 --> 00:12:00.959
 the intensity

00:12:00.959 --> 00:12:01.379
 of this

00:12:01.379 --> 00:12:01.679
 moment

00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:02.360
 for Jesus

00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:03.379
 it's quite

00:12:03.379 --> 00:12:03.840
 literally

00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:05.259
 he stiffens

00:12:05.259 --> 00:12:06.340
 his face

00:12:06.340 --> 00:12:07.340
 to go

00:12:07.340 --> 00:12:07.960
 to Jerusalem

00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:10.780
 he sets

00:12:10.780 --> 00:12:11.680
 his eyes

00:12:11.680 --> 00:12:13.480
 he will

00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:14.259
 not be

00:12:14.259 --> 00:12:15.280
 distracted

00:12:15.280 --> 00:12:16.280
 he will

00:12:16.280 --> 00:12:16.740
 not be

00:12:16.740 --> 00:12:17.500
 diverted

00:12:17.500 --> 00:12:18.399
 one bit

00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:19.399
 Jerusalem's

00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:20.060
 the destination

00:12:20.060 --> 00:12:20.680
 for him

00:12:20.680 --> 00:12:23.300
 and along

00:12:23.300 --> 00:12:23.700
 the way

00:12:23.700 --> 00:12:24.360
 to Jerusalem

00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.120
 Jesus

00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:27.060
 educates

00:12:27.060 --> 00:12:27.660
 his would-be

00:12:27.660 --> 00:12:28.200
 followers

00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:28.860
 on the

00:12:28.860 --> 00:12:29.320
 demands

00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:30.040
 of the road

00:12:30.040 --> 00:12:30.960
 lessons

00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:31.620
 on what

00:12:31.620 --> 00:12:31.900
 it will

00:12:31.900 --> 00:12:32.180
 mean

00:12:32.179 --> 00:12:33.159
 to effectively

00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:34.639
 set our

00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:34.959
 face

00:12:34.959 --> 00:12:35.539
 to Jerusalem

00:12:35.539 --> 00:12:36.219
 with him

00:12:36.219 --> 00:12:38.639
 and these

00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:39.399
 chapters

00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:40.319
 the next

00:12:40.319 --> 00:12:41.000
 10 chapters

00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:42.459
 are fiercely

00:12:42.459 --> 00:12:43.039
 radical

00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:45.559
 they're

00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:46.099
 scary

00:12:46.099 --> 00:12:46.620
 actually

00:12:46.620 --> 00:12:47.620
 possibly

00:12:47.620 --> 00:12:48.159
 even

00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:49.019
 discouraging

00:12:49.019 --> 00:12:49.519
 even

00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:51.939
 in the

00:12:51.939 --> 00:12:52.159
 verses

00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:52.539
 today

00:12:52.539 --> 00:12:52.919
 you kind

00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:53.179
 of think

00:12:53.179 --> 00:12:53.459
 Jesus

00:12:53.459 --> 00:12:53.779
 are you

00:12:53.779 --> 00:12:54.799
 trying to

00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:55.579
 discourage

00:12:55.579 --> 00:12:55.759
 me

00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:56.120
 from being

00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:56.599
 a follower

00:12:56.599 --> 00:13:00.459
 and so

00:13:00.459 --> 00:13:00.939
 it is

00:13:00.939 --> 00:13:01.839
 very important

00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:02.800
 from the

00:13:02.800 --> 00:13:03.399
 outset

00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:04.980
 for us

00:13:04.980 --> 00:13:05.420
 to resist

00:13:05.420 --> 00:13:06.100
 the temptation

00:13:06.100 --> 00:13:07.080
 to tame

00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:08.480
 these

00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:08.940
 chapters

00:13:08.940 --> 00:13:10.980
 to make

00:13:10.980 --> 00:13:11.580
 his teaching

00:13:11.580 --> 00:13:12.379
 sound more

00:13:12.379 --> 00:13:12.980
 reasonable

00:13:12.980 --> 00:13:14.920
 to tone

00:13:14.920 --> 00:13:15.660
 him down

00:13:15.660 --> 00:13:17.560
 these are

00:13:17.560 --> 00:13:18.560
 hard words

00:13:18.560 --> 00:13:21.840
 but important

00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:22.320
 words

00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:23.960
 you see

00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:24.560
 when I hear

00:13:24.560 --> 00:13:25.480
 inexperienced

00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:25.960
 Christians

00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:26.759
 confidently

00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:27.540
 assert

00:13:27.540 --> 00:13:28.259
 that they

00:13:28.259 --> 00:13:28.759
 will follow

00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:29.280
 Christ

00:13:29.280 --> 00:13:29.580
 no matter

00:13:29.580 --> 00:13:29.960
 what the

00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:30.320
 cost

00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:31.320
 I feel

00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:31.740
 both

00:13:31.740 --> 00:13:32.260
 pleasure

00:13:32.260 --> 00:13:33.120
 and

00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:33.920
 concern

00:13:33.920 --> 00:13:36.040
 they've

00:13:36.040 --> 00:13:36.600
 experienced

00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:37.140
 new life

00:13:37.140 --> 00:13:37.720
 in Christ

00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:38.360
 forgiveness

00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:39.300
 release

00:13:39.300 --> 00:13:39.900
 from guilt

00:13:39.900 --> 00:13:40.640
 expansive

00:13:40.640 --> 00:13:41.180
 joy

00:13:41.180 --> 00:13:42.020
 and so

00:13:42.020 --> 00:13:42.640
 it's natural

00:13:42.640 --> 00:13:43.080
 to say

00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:43.640
 I know

00:13:43.640 --> 00:13:43.960
 where I've

00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:44.540
 come from

00:13:44.540 --> 00:13:45.300
 I don't

00:13:45.300 --> 00:13:46.520
 go back

00:13:46.520 --> 00:13:46.840
 there

00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:48.280
 and so

00:13:48.280 --> 00:13:49.120
 for me

00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:49.399
 as a

00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:49.700
 Christian

00:13:49.700 --> 00:13:50.600
 and as

00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:50.879
 someone

00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:51.460
 as a

00:13:51.460 --> 00:13:51.680
 Christian

00:13:51.680 --> 00:13:52.180
 minister

00:13:52.180 --> 00:13:53.780
 such talk

00:13:53.780 --> 00:13:55.019
 thrills me

00:13:55.019 --> 00:13:55.399
 when I hear

00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:56.060
 people make

00:13:56.060 --> 00:13:57.139
 those declarations

00:13:57.139 --> 00:13:58.259
 but it also

00:13:58.259 --> 00:13:59.060
 fills me with a

00:13:59.060 --> 00:13:59.399
 sense of

00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:00.620
 apprehension

00:14:00.620 --> 00:14:02.399
 because it's

00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:03.379
 also naive

00:14:03.379 --> 00:14:05.700
 a naive

00:14:05.700 --> 00:14:06.399
 presumption

00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:07.039
 that one

00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:07.539
 can follow

00:14:07.539 --> 00:14:08.019
 Christ

00:14:08.019 --> 00:14:08.399
 by the

00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:08.659
 simple

00:14:08.659 --> 00:14:09.139
 assertion

00:14:09.139 --> 00:14:09.460
 of the

00:14:09.460 --> 00:14:09.779
 will

00:14:09.779 --> 00:14:11.299
 invites

00:14:11.299 --> 00:14:12.100
 a rude

00:14:12.100 --> 00:14:12.779
 awakening

00:14:12.779 --> 00:14:14.200
 I'm

00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:14.559
 much more

00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:14.860
 comfortable

00:14:14.860 --> 00:14:15.460
 when I hear

00:14:15.460 --> 00:14:15.960
 a believer

00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:16.379
 say

00:14:16.379 --> 00:14:17.399
 I know

00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:18.460
 I can't

00:14:18.460 --> 00:14:18.720
 do it

00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:19.100
 alone

00:14:19.100 --> 00:14:19.500
 there is

00:14:19.500 --> 00:14:20.000
 a big

00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:20.659
 big battle

00:14:20.659 --> 00:14:21.939
 it's going

00:14:21.939 --> 00:14:22.179
 to be a

00:14:22.179 --> 00:14:22.700
 daily battle

00:14:22.700 --> 00:14:23.019
 for me

00:14:23.019 --> 00:14:23.279
 to follow

00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:23.799
 Christ

00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:24.480
 but by

00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:25.059
 God's

00:14:25.059 --> 00:14:25.659
 gracious

00:14:25.659 --> 00:14:26.279
 enabling

00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:27.059
 my history

00:14:27.059 --> 00:14:27.620
 I'm going

00:14:27.620 --> 00:14:29.259
 to throw

00:14:29.259 --> 00:14:30.019
 myself into

00:14:30.019 --> 00:14:30.379
 it

00:14:30.379 --> 00:14:31.820
 much more

00:14:31.820 --> 00:14:32.220
 confident

00:14:32.220 --> 00:14:32.720
 with that

00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:34.220
 you see

00:14:34.220 --> 00:14:34.720
 presumption

00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:35.360
 is always

00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:35.920
 dangerous

00:14:35.920 --> 00:14:36.560
 for anyone

00:14:36.560 --> 00:14:37.100
 who follows

00:14:37.100 --> 00:14:37.600
 Christ

00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:38.620
 many have

00:14:38.620 --> 00:14:38.980
 fallen

00:14:38.980 --> 00:14:39.660
 along the

00:14:39.660 --> 00:14:39.920
 way

00:14:39.920 --> 00:14:40.519
 because

00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:41.240
 they have

00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:41.840
 not understood

00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:42.399
 what it means

00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:42.620
 to be

00:14:42.620 --> 00:14:43.200
 disciples of

00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:43.480
 Christ

00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:43.740
 they have

00:14:43.740 --> 00:14:44.080
 understood

00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:44.500
 the concept

00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:44.840
 of picking

00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:45.120
 out the

00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:45.399
 cross

00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:45.800
 and following

00:14:45.800 --> 00:14:46.120
 him

00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:46.820
 some have

00:14:46.820 --> 00:14:47.259
 fallen

00:14:47.259 --> 00:14:48.180
 because

00:14:48.180 --> 00:14:49.879
 this is

00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:50.519
 predominantly

00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:51.100
 in the

00:14:51.100 --> 00:14:51.800
 western world

00:14:51.800 --> 00:14:52.600
 in the

00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:53.320
 western church

00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:54.060
 many have

00:14:54.060 --> 00:14:54.600
 signed up

00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:55.000
 to a

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:55.540
 distortion

00:14:55.540 --> 00:14:55.800
 of

00:14:55.800 --> 00:14:56.379
 Christianity

00:14:56.379 --> 00:14:56.980
 a

00:14:56.980 --> 00:14:58.080
 moralistic

00:14:58.080 --> 00:14:58.720
 therapeutic

00:14:58.720 --> 00:14:59.320
 deism

00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:00.879
 in other

00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:01.060
 words

00:15:01.060 --> 00:15:01.360
 what that

00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:01.899
 means is

00:15:01.899 --> 00:15:02.460
 they believe

00:15:02.460 --> 00:15:03.100
 that Christianity

00:15:03.100 --> 00:15:03.879
 means that they

00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:04.460
 should work

00:15:04.460 --> 00:15:05.060
 hard to be

00:15:05.060 --> 00:15:05.759
 good people

00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:07.080
 they believe

00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:07.820
 that Christianity

00:15:07.820 --> 00:15:08.879
 or that God

00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:10.000
 exists to serve

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:10.800
 them by helping

00:15:10.800 --> 00:15:11.139
 them

00:15:11.139 --> 00:15:12.040
 God's job for

00:15:12.040 --> 00:15:12.639
 them in their

00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:13.700
 life is to

00:15:13.700 --> 00:15:14.560
 make them feel

00:15:14.560 --> 00:15:15.580
 happy and good

00:15:15.580 --> 00:15:16.180
 and secure

00:15:16.180 --> 00:15:17.000
 and at peace

00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:18.220
 and we know

00:15:18.220 --> 00:15:18.840
 that's the case

00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:19.379
 because every time

00:15:19.379 --> 00:15:20.120
 God takes one of

00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:20.740
 those things away

00:15:20.740 --> 00:15:21.519
 from me or challenges

00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:22.400
 me on those things

00:15:22.400 --> 00:15:23.420
 I get angry with

00:15:23.420 --> 00:15:23.580
 it

00:15:23.580 --> 00:15:25.060
 so we just assume

00:15:25.060 --> 00:15:26.100
 God's job in

00:15:26.100 --> 00:15:27.280
 my life is to

00:15:27.280 --> 00:15:28.420
 make things go

00:15:28.420 --> 00:15:29.379
 well for me

00:15:29.379 --> 00:15:30.259
 and they

00:15:30.259 --> 00:15:30.840
 believe that

00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:31.200
 even though

00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:31.960
 God made the

00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:32.279
 world

00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:32.779
 he's only

00:15:32.779 --> 00:15:33.439
 active and

00:15:33.439 --> 00:15:34.000
 involved in

00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:34.700
 my life

00:15:34.700 --> 00:15:35.939
 when I

00:15:35.939 --> 00:15:36.480
 need to

00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:37.159
 resolve a

00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:37.620
 problem

00:15:37.620 --> 00:15:39.120
 for me

00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:40.220
 the rest of

00:15:40.220 --> 00:15:40.480
 the time

00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:40.779
 you pretty

00:15:40.779 --> 00:15:41.100
 much

00:15:41.100 --> 00:15:41.840
 is to get

00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:42.159
 out of the

00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:42.939
 way and

00:15:42.939 --> 00:15:43.820
 let me get

00:15:43.820 --> 00:15:44.220
 on with

00:15:44.220 --> 00:15:44.679
 life with

00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:45.279
 my agenda

00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:48.559
 and so

00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:50.220
 it's essential

00:15:50.220 --> 00:15:50.699
 for us to

00:15:50.699 --> 00:15:51.279
 understand

00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:51.659
 Jesus'

00:15:51.939 --> 00:15:52.299
 mission

00:15:52.299 --> 00:15:54.000
 if we

00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:54.459
 understand

00:15:54.459 --> 00:15:54.899
 what it

00:15:54.899 --> 00:15:55.299
 means to

00:15:55.299 --> 00:15:55.980
 follow him

00:15:55.980 --> 00:15:57.339
 so let's

00:15:57.339 --> 00:15:57.879
 take a look

00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:58.339
 at that first

00:15:58.339 --> 00:15:58.860
 what the

00:15:58.860 --> 00:15:59.539
 journey to

00:15:59.539 --> 00:16:00.220
 Jerusalem

00:16:00.220 --> 00:16:01.199
 meant for

00:16:01.199 --> 00:16:01.459
 Jesus

00:16:01.459 --> 00:16:02.120
 he resolutely

00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:02.879
 sets his face

00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:03.259
 there

00:16:03.259 --> 00:16:04.799
 so what is it

00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:06.139
 about this

00:16:06.139 --> 00:16:06.399
 journey

00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:06.720
 what it

00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:07.299
 means for

00:16:07.299 --> 00:16:07.659
 him

00:16:07.659 --> 00:16:08.600
 because if we

00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:09.360
 can understand

00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:10.100
 what it

00:16:10.100 --> 00:16:10.559
 means for

00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:11.019
 him

00:16:11.019 --> 00:16:11.879
 we're in a

00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:12.679
 better place

00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:13.279
 to understand

00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:13.600
 what it

00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:14.579
 means for

00:16:14.580 --> 00:16:15.500
 us to be

00:16:15.500 --> 00:16:16.340
 followers of

00:16:16.340 --> 00:16:16.720
 him

00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:18.480
 now early

00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:19.360
 in Luke 9

00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:20.800
 as Jesus

00:16:20.800 --> 00:16:21.379
 prepared to

00:16:21.379 --> 00:16:21.879
 set out for

00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:22.560
 Jerusalem from

00:16:22.560 --> 00:16:23.060
 Galilee

00:16:23.060 --> 00:16:24.340
 he explained

00:16:24.340 --> 00:16:25.060
 it to his

00:16:25.060 --> 00:16:25.580
 disciples

00:16:25.580 --> 00:16:27.100
 in verse 22

00:16:27.100 --> 00:16:28.040
 he said

00:16:28.040 --> 00:16:28.460
 the son of

00:16:28.460 --> 00:16:28.879
 man must

00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:29.240
 supplement

00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:29.940
 things

00:16:29.940 --> 00:16:30.759
 and be

00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:31.460
 rejected by

00:16:31.460 --> 00:16:32.160
 the elders

00:16:32.160 --> 00:16:32.580
 the chief

00:16:32.580 --> 00:16:32.920
 priests

00:16:32.920 --> 00:16:34.780
 and he must

00:16:34.780 --> 00:16:35.340
 be killed

00:16:35.340 --> 00:16:35.840
 and on the

00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:36.460
 third day

00:16:36.460 --> 00:16:37.320
 raised

00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:38.000
 of life

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:39.180
 and then

00:16:39.180 --> 00:16:39.900
 in verse

00:16:39.900 --> 00:16:40.660
 44 he

00:16:40.660 --> 00:16:41.100
 told them

00:16:41.100 --> 00:16:41.820
 listen carefully

00:16:41.820 --> 00:16:42.440
 to what I'm

00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:43.100
 about to tell

00:16:43.100 --> 00:16:43.360
 you

00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:44.160
 the son of

00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:44.559
 man is

00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:44.899
 going to

00:16:44.899 --> 00:16:45.360
 betray

00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:45.860
 in the

00:16:45.860 --> 00:16:46.299
 hands of

00:16:46.299 --> 00:16:46.579
 many

00:16:46.579 --> 00:16:47.240
 and yet

00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:48.059
 verse 45

00:16:48.059 --> 00:16:48.740
 tells us

00:16:48.740 --> 00:16:49.360
 the disciples

00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:50.799
 were still

00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:51.539
 ignorant

00:16:51.539 --> 00:16:52.219
 they did

00:16:52.219 --> 00:16:52.500
 not

00:16:52.500 --> 00:16:53.500
 understand

00:16:53.500 --> 00:16:57.319
 clearly

00:16:57.319 --> 00:16:58.959
 what they

00:16:58.959 --> 00:16:59.699
 thought Jesus

00:16:59.699 --> 00:17:00.179
 was on

00:17:00.179 --> 00:17:00.539
 about

00:17:00.539 --> 00:17:01.579
 was flawed

00:17:01.579 --> 00:17:03.240
 their

00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:04.000
 misunderstanding

00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:04.480
 of his

00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:05.159
 mission

00:17:05.159 --> 00:17:07.119
 results in

00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:07.920
 a misunderstanding

00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:08.539
 of what it

00:17:08.539 --> 00:17:08.960
 means to

00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:09.500
 follow

00:17:09.500 --> 00:17:10.139
 Jesus

00:17:10.140 --> 00:17:13.160
 he didn't

00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:13.660
 understand

00:17:13.660 --> 00:17:14.220
 first of

00:17:14.220 --> 00:17:14.620
 all that

00:17:14.620 --> 00:17:15.380
 Jesus

00:17:15.380 --> 00:17:15.840
 mission

00:17:15.840 --> 00:17:16.259
 was in

00:17:16.259 --> 00:17:16.440
 fact

00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:16.700
 about

00:17:16.700 --> 00:17:17.160
 mercy

00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:17.380
 and

00:17:17.380 --> 00:17:17.720
 grace

00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:17.920
 not

00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:18.140
 about

00:17:18.140 --> 00:17:18.560
 judgment

00:17:18.560 --> 00:17:19.000
 notice

00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:20.440
 verse 52

00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:20.820
 he sent

00:17:20.820 --> 00:17:21.280
 messengers

00:17:21.280 --> 00:17:21.880
 on ahead

00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:22.660
 who went

00:17:22.660 --> 00:17:22.960
 into

00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:23.460
 Samaritan

00:17:23.460 --> 00:17:23.740
 village

00:17:23.740 --> 00:17:24.040
 to get

00:17:24.040 --> 00:17:24.280
 things

00:17:24.280 --> 00:17:24.520
 ready

00:17:24.520 --> 00:17:25.040
 for him

00:17:25.040 --> 00:17:26.000
 but the

00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:26.320
 people

00:17:26.320 --> 00:17:26.640
 there

00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:27.080
 did not

00:17:27.080 --> 00:17:27.560
 work in

00:17:27.560 --> 00:17:27.880
 him

00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:28.800
 because

00:17:28.800 --> 00:17:29.259
 he was

00:17:29.259 --> 00:17:29.560
 heading

00:17:29.560 --> 00:17:29.860
 for

00:17:29.860 --> 00:17:30.420
 Jerusalem

00:17:30.420 --> 00:17:33.220
 he's

00:17:33.220 --> 00:17:33.440
 only

00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:33.800
 just

00:17:33.800 --> 00:17:34.300
 started

00:17:34.300 --> 00:17:35.519
 he's

00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:35.680
 like

00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:35.860
 the

00:17:35.860 --> 00:17:36.620
 trailhead

00:17:36.620 --> 00:17:37.039
 on his

00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:37.200
 way

00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:37.320
 to

00:17:37.320 --> 00:17:37.820
 Jerusalem

00:17:37.820 --> 00:17:39.539
 and

00:17:39.539 --> 00:17:39.700
 he's

00:17:39.700 --> 00:17:40.060
 already

00:17:40.060 --> 00:17:40.380
 being

00:17:40.380 --> 00:17:40.840
 rejected

00:17:40.840 --> 00:17:43.019
 it is

00:17:43.019 --> 00:17:43.519
 the only

00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:44.160
 sign

00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:44.980
 of what

00:17:44.980 --> 00:17:45.680
 is about

00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:46.360
 to come

00:17:46.360 --> 00:17:48.100
 Jesus

00:17:48.100 --> 00:17:48.920
 rejected

00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:49.680
 all the way

00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:50.220
 to Jerusalem

00:17:50.220 --> 00:17:50.940
 and

00:17:50.940 --> 00:17:51.600
 when he

00:17:51.600 --> 00:17:52.240
 arrives in

00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:52.960
 Jerusalem

00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:54.320
 rejection

00:17:54.320 --> 00:17:54.980
 is the

00:17:54.980 --> 00:17:55.259
 pattern

00:17:55.259 --> 00:17:56.039
 for Jesus

00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:57.820
 and it's

00:17:57.820 --> 00:17:58.240
 the pattern

00:17:58.240 --> 00:17:58.660
 for those

00:17:58.660 --> 00:17:58.940
 who have

00:17:58.940 --> 00:17:59.160
 followed

00:17:59.160 --> 00:17:59.640
 Jesus

00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:01.860
 James

00:18:01.860 --> 00:18:02.080
 and

00:18:02.080 --> 00:18:02.340
 John

00:18:02.340 --> 00:18:02.880
 however

00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:03.800
 the two

00:18:03.800 --> 00:18:04.220
 sons

00:18:04.220 --> 00:18:04.360
 of

00:18:04.360 --> 00:18:04.680
 the

00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:05.580
 to

00:18:05.580 --> 00:18:06.180
 discover

00:18:06.180 --> 00:18:08.200
 see

00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:08.420
 the

00:18:08.420 --> 00:18:08.920
 rejection

00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:10.800
 and so

00:18:10.800 --> 00:18:11.259
 in verse

00:18:11.259 --> 00:18:11.700
 54

00:18:11.700 --> 00:18:12.740
 here's

00:18:12.740 --> 00:18:12.920
 their

00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:13.580
 response

00:18:13.580 --> 00:18:14.320
 Lord

00:18:14.320 --> 00:18:14.600
 we want

00:18:14.600 --> 00:18:14.820
 us to

00:18:14.820 --> 00:18:15.180
 pull down

00:18:15.180 --> 00:18:15.740
 fire from

00:18:15.740 --> 00:18:15.960
 heaven

00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:16.220
 to

00:18:16.220 --> 00:18:17.160
 destroy

00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:17.660
 them

00:18:17.660 --> 00:18:20.720
 Jesus

00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:21.020
 a few

00:18:21.020 --> 00:18:21.340
 drones

00:18:21.340 --> 00:18:21.780
 and smart

00:18:21.780 --> 00:18:22.040
 bombs

00:18:22.040 --> 00:18:22.220
 would

00:18:22.220 --> 00:18:22.480
 wipe

00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:22.820
 this

00:18:22.820 --> 00:18:23.680
 village

00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:24.320
 out

00:18:24.320 --> 00:18:25.380
 be

00:18:25.380 --> 00:18:25.620
 done

00:18:25.620 --> 00:18:25.860
 with

00:18:25.860 --> 00:18:26.160
 it

00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:28.600
 and

00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:28.799
 they

00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:29.019
 would

00:18:29.019 --> 00:18:29.299
 be

00:18:29.299 --> 00:18:30.459
 sarcastic

00:18:30.459 --> 00:18:30.719
 they

00:18:30.719 --> 00:18:30.919
 would

00:18:30.919 --> 00:18:31.319
 dare

00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:31.519
 be

00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:32.039
 serious

00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:32.740
 they

00:18:32.740 --> 00:18:32.899
 were

00:18:32.899 --> 00:18:33.159
 not

00:18:33.159 --> 00:18:33.619
 naive

00:18:33.619 --> 00:18:33.799
 they

00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:33.939
 were

00:18:33.939 --> 00:18:34.179
 not

00:18:34.179 --> 00:18:34.519
 joking

00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:34.719
 you

00:18:34.719 --> 00:18:34.819
 see

00:18:34.819 --> 00:18:35.019
 they

00:18:35.019 --> 00:18:35.579
 remembered

00:18:38.539 --> 00:18:39.139

00:18:41.740 --> 00:18:42.819
 twice

00:18:42.819 --> 00:18:44.980
 sent soldiers

00:18:44.980 --> 00:18:45.819

00:18:47.580 --> 00:18:48.000
 apostles

00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:48.860
 saw

00:18:48.860 --> 00:18:50.019
 Jesus

00:18:50.019 --> 00:18:50.640
 as an

00:19:28.460 --> 00:19:28.620

00:19:33.460 --> 00:19:33.800
 God's

00:19:33.800 --> 00:19:34.100
 judgment

00:19:34.100 --> 00:19:34.320
 the

00:19:34.320 --> 00:19:34.640
 apostles

00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:42.780
 John

00:19:42.780 --> 00:19:43.140
 heard

00:19:43.140 --> 00:19:43.480
 Jesus

00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:44.040
 say

00:19:44.040 --> 00:19:44.640
 but

00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:44.800
 I

00:19:44.800 --> 00:19:45.080
 tell

00:19:45.080 --> 00:19:45.300
 you

00:19:45.300 --> 00:19:45.520
 who

00:19:45.520 --> 00:19:45.800
 hear

00:19:45.800 --> 00:19:46.160
 me

00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:46.880
 love

00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:47.100
 your

00:19:47.100 --> 00:19:47.580
 enemies

00:19:47.580 --> 00:19:48.040
 be good

00:19:48.040 --> 00:19:48.460
 to those

00:19:48.460 --> 00:19:48.860
 who hate

00:19:48.860 --> 00:19:49.060
 you

00:19:49.060 --> 00:19:49.500
 bless

00:19:49.500 --> 00:19:49.900
 those

00:19:49.900 --> 00:19:50.380
 who curse

00:19:50.380 --> 00:19:50.540
 you

00:19:50.540 --> 00:19:50.860
 pray

00:19:50.860 --> 00:19:51.060
 for

00:19:51.060 --> 00:19:51.300
 those

00:19:51.300 --> 00:19:51.440
 who

00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:51.920
 mistreat

00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:52.200
 you

00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:54.200
 and

00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:54.440
 they

00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:54.680
 had

00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:55.160
 seen

00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:55.520
 those

00:19:55.520 --> 00:19:56.140
 words

00:19:56.140 --> 00:19:57.440
 fleshed

00:19:57.440 --> 00:19:57.860
 out

00:19:57.860 --> 00:19:58.820
 in the

00:19:58.820 --> 00:19:59.400
 life and

00:19:59.400 --> 00:19:59.740
 ministry

00:19:59.740 --> 00:20:00.280
 of Jesus

00:20:00.280 --> 00:20:00.840
 in a

00:20:00.840 --> 00:20:01.220
 thousand

00:20:01.220 --> 00:20:01.840
 ways

00:20:01.840 --> 00:20:04.120
 so as

00:20:04.120 --> 00:20:04.420
 Jesus

00:20:04.420 --> 00:20:05.040
 goes

00:20:05.040 --> 00:20:05.560
 to five

00:20:05.560 --> 00:20:06.060
 turns

00:20:06.060 --> 00:20:06.420
 on

00:20:06.420 --> 00:20:06.540
 your

00:20:06.540 --> 00:20:07.060
 response

00:20:07.060 --> 00:20:07.460
 just

00:20:07.460 --> 00:20:07.900
 refutes

00:20:07.900 --> 00:20:08.140
 them

00:20:08.140 --> 00:20:09.180
 idiots

00:20:09.180 --> 00:20:12.120
 you see

00:20:12.120 --> 00:20:12.640
 a wrong

00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:13.140
 view

00:20:13.140 --> 00:20:14.759
 of what

00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:15.140
 Jesus

00:20:15.140 --> 00:20:15.500
 is on

00:20:15.500 --> 00:20:15.800
 about

00:20:15.800 --> 00:20:16.280
 is a

00:20:16.280 --> 00:20:16.480
 wrong

00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:16.680
 view

00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:16.880
 of what

00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:17.160
 it means

00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:17.320
 to

00:20:17.320 --> 00:20:17.640
 fight

00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:18.020
 him

00:20:18.020 --> 00:20:18.700
 wrong

00:20:18.700 --> 00:20:19.520
 expectation

00:20:19.520 --> 00:20:20.420
 of what

00:20:20.420 --> 00:20:20.740
 it means

00:20:20.740 --> 00:20:21.160
 to fight

00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:21.400
 him

00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:23.020
 if

00:20:23.020 --> 00:20:23.380
 Jesus

00:20:23.380 --> 00:20:23.820
 had come

00:20:23.820 --> 00:20:24.420
 to execute

00:20:24.420 --> 00:20:24.840
 judgment

00:20:24.840 --> 00:20:25.280
 and take

00:20:25.280 --> 00:20:25.460
 up

00:20:25.460 --> 00:20:25.880
 residence

00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:26.160
 in the

00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:26.480
 palace

00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:27.060
 in Jerusalem

00:20:27.060 --> 00:20:28.600
 then it

00:20:28.600 --> 00:20:29.000
 would make

00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:30.060
 total sense

00:20:30.060 --> 00:20:31.280
 for the

00:20:31.280 --> 00:20:31.860
 sons of

00:20:31.860 --> 00:20:32.340
 thunder to

00:20:32.340 --> 00:20:32.860
 call for

00:20:32.860 --> 00:20:33.300
 judgment

00:20:33.300 --> 00:20:33.880
 in that

00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:34.259
 way

00:20:34.259 --> 00:20:36.540
 but if

00:20:36.540 --> 00:20:36.860
 Jesus

00:20:36.860 --> 00:20:37.400
 had come

00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:37.820
 instead

00:20:37.820 --> 00:20:38.380
 not to

00:20:38.380 --> 00:20:39.000
 judge

00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:39.740
 but to

00:20:39.740 --> 00:20:40.400
 save

00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:42.980
 then a

00:20:42.980 --> 00:20:43.360
 radically

00:20:43.360 --> 00:20:43.880
 different

00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:44.420
 form of

00:20:44.420 --> 00:20:44.820
 following

00:20:44.820 --> 00:20:46.200
 is in

00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:46.560
 order

00:20:46.560 --> 00:20:47.800
 and the

00:20:47.800 --> 00:20:48.060
 answer

00:20:48.060 --> 00:20:48.340
 of the

00:20:48.340 --> 00:20:48.560
 whole

00:20:48.560 --> 00:20:48.759
 new

00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:49.220
 testament

00:20:49.220 --> 00:20:50.840
 is that

00:20:50.840 --> 00:20:51.000
 the

00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:51.940
 surprise

00:20:51.940 --> 00:20:52.960
 the surprise

00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:53.300
 about

00:20:53.300 --> 00:20:53.780
 Jesus

00:20:53.780 --> 00:20:55.780
 is that

00:20:55.780 --> 00:20:56.640
 he denied

00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:57.480
 himself

00:20:57.480 --> 00:20:59.460
 he came

00:20:59.460 --> 00:21:00.080
 to live

00:21:00.080 --> 00:21:01.200
 a sacrificial

00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:01.940
 life

00:21:01.940 --> 00:21:04.140
 dying

00:21:04.140 --> 00:21:04.840
 service

00:21:04.840 --> 00:21:06.240
 before

00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:07.160
 he comes

00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:07.740
 a second

00:21:07.740 --> 00:21:08.259
 time to

00:21:08.259 --> 00:21:08.540
 reign

00:21:08.540 --> 00:21:08.860
 in the

00:21:08.860 --> 00:21:09.120
 way

00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:11.799
 he comes

00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:13.419
 and divests

00:21:13.419 --> 00:21:14.139
 himself

00:21:14.139 --> 00:21:15.099
 gives

00:21:15.099 --> 00:21:15.659
 himself

00:21:15.659 --> 00:21:16.479
 puts

00:21:16.479 --> 00:21:16.739
 his

00:21:16.739 --> 00:21:17.459
 life

00:21:17.459 --> 00:21:18.539
 and dies

00:21:18.539 --> 00:21:19.500
 for

00:21:19.500 --> 00:21:19.839
 his

00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:20.719
 enemies

00:21:20.719 --> 00:21:23.219
 and he

00:21:23.219 --> 00:21:23.859
 reigns

00:21:23.859 --> 00:21:24.259
 now

00:21:24.259 --> 00:21:24.479
 the

00:21:24.479 --> 00:21:24.759
 Lord

00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:25.339
 resurrected

00:21:25.339 --> 00:21:25.799
 reigns

00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:25.899
 in

00:21:25.899 --> 00:21:26.199
 glory

00:21:26.199 --> 00:21:27.239
 you see

00:21:27.239 --> 00:21:27.559
 Jesus'

00:21:27.739 --> 00:21:28.059
 mission

00:21:28.059 --> 00:21:28.979
 is one

00:21:28.979 --> 00:21:29.559
 of mercy

00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:30.159
 and grace

00:21:30.159 --> 00:21:30.919
 and salvation

00:21:30.919 --> 00:21:31.899
 for

00:21:31.899 --> 00:21:32.779
 humanity

00:21:32.779 --> 00:21:34.599
 and Jesus

00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:35.159
 made it

00:21:35.159 --> 00:21:35.599
 explicit

00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:36.279
 when in

00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:36.839
 Mark 10

00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:37.399
 he says

00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:37.940
 for even

00:21:37.940 --> 00:21:38.259
 the son

00:21:38.259 --> 00:21:38.500
 of man

00:21:38.500 --> 00:21:38.759
 did not

00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:39.220
 come to

00:21:39.220 --> 00:21:39.660
 be served

00:21:39.660 --> 00:21:39.980
 but to

00:21:39.980 --> 00:21:40.280
 serve

00:21:40.280 --> 00:21:40.640
 and give

00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:41.120
 his life

00:21:41.120 --> 00:21:41.980
 as a ransom

00:21:41.980 --> 00:21:43.060
 for many

00:21:43.059 --> 00:21:44.500
 or there's

00:21:44.500 --> 00:21:45.139
 John 3

00:21:45.139 --> 00:21:45.819
 16

00:21:45.819 --> 00:21:46.259
 17

00:21:46.259 --> 00:21:46.619
 for God

00:21:46.619 --> 00:21:47.059
 so loved

00:21:47.059 --> 00:21:47.419
 the world

00:21:47.419 --> 00:21:47.799
 that he gave

00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:48.139
 his one

00:21:48.139 --> 00:21:48.399
 and only

00:21:48.399 --> 00:21:48.839
 son

00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:49.460
 that whoever

00:21:49.460 --> 00:21:50.059
 believes

00:21:50.059 --> 00:21:50.519
 in him

00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:51.740
 should not

00:21:51.740 --> 00:21:52.299
 perish

00:21:52.299 --> 00:21:53.159
 but have

00:21:53.159 --> 00:21:54.139
 eternal life

00:21:54.139 --> 00:21:55.139
 for God

00:21:55.139 --> 00:21:55.839
 did not send

00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:56.299
 his son

00:21:56.299 --> 00:21:57.059
 into the world

00:21:57.059 --> 00:21:57.779
 to condemn

00:21:57.779 --> 00:21:58.319
 the world

00:21:58.319 --> 00:21:59.200
 but to

00:21:59.200 --> 00:21:59.980
 save the

00:21:59.980 --> 00:22:00.339
 world

00:22:00.339 --> 00:22:01.279
 through

00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:01.879
 him

00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:04.960
 so

00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:05.340
 what did

00:22:05.340 --> 00:22:05.640
 it mean

00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:05.840
 for

00:22:05.840 --> 00:22:06.260
 Jesus

00:22:06.260 --> 00:22:06.600
 he

00:22:06.600 --> 00:22:07.240
 resolutely

00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:07.680
 sets

00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:08.200
 his face

00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:08.380
 to

00:22:08.380 --> 00:22:08.960
 Jerusalem

00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:11.820
 in

00:22:11.820 --> 00:22:12.320
 order to

00:22:12.320 --> 00:22:12.860
 surrender

00:22:12.860 --> 00:22:13.820
 his life

00:22:13.820 --> 00:22:15.100
 for the

00:22:15.100 --> 00:22:15.500
 salvation

00:22:15.500 --> 00:22:15.740
 of

00:22:15.740 --> 00:22:16.040
 sinners

00:22:16.040 --> 00:22:19.620
 it was a

00:22:19.620 --> 00:22:19.920
 death that

00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:20.600
 was vindicated

00:22:20.600 --> 00:22:20.900
 when he

00:22:20.900 --> 00:22:21.440
 rose again

00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:21.720
 on the

00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:22.220
 third day

00:22:22.220 --> 00:22:22.600
 and now

00:22:22.600 --> 00:22:23.180
 reigns in

00:22:23.180 --> 00:22:23.540
 glory

00:22:23.540 --> 00:22:25.200
 and the

00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:25.660
 surprise

00:22:25.660 --> 00:22:26.060
 here for

00:22:26.060 --> 00:22:26.800
 the disciples

00:22:26.800 --> 00:22:30.760
 following

00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:31.420
 Jesus

00:22:31.420 --> 00:22:33.960
 demands

00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:34.740
 a life

00:22:34.740 --> 00:22:35.879
 of denying

00:22:35.879 --> 00:22:36.920
 self

00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:37.859
 in sacrificial

00:22:37.859 --> 00:22:38.660
 service

00:22:38.660 --> 00:22:40.460
 before we

 that's a

00:22:43.660 --> 00:22:44.019
 surprise

00:22:44.019 --> 00:22:44.359
 for the

00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:44.720
 disciples

00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:50.559
 what that

00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:51.019
 means

00:22:51.019 --> 00:22:51.599
 is

00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:52.059
 for the

00:22:52.059 --> 00:22:52.319
 disciples

00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:52.799
 of Jesus

00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:53.519
 walking

00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:54.000
 with him

00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:54.379
 following

00:22:54.379 --> 00:22:54.819
 him

00:22:54.819 --> 00:22:56.859
 what Jesus

00:22:56.859 --> 00:22:57.700
 demands

00:22:57.700 --> 00:22:58.140
 is a

00:22:58.140 --> 00:22:58.400
 life

00:22:58.400 --> 00:22:58.559
 of

00:22:58.559 --> 00:22:59.039
 commitment

00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:00.960
 a

00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:01.159
 life

00:23:01.159 --> 00:23:01.299
 of

00:23:01.299 --> 00:23:01.619
 commitment

00:23:01.619 --> 00:23:02.180
 for those

00:23:02.180 --> 00:23:02.359
 who

00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:02.599
 follow

00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:02.920
 him

00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:03.740
 you see

00:23:03.740 --> 00:23:04.000
 what

00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:04.480
 James

00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:04.920
 and John

00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:05.279
 had to

00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:05.519
 learn

00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:05.920
 what we

00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:06.159
 must

00:23:06.159 --> 00:23:06.519
 all

00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:06.879
 learn

00:23:06.879 --> 00:23:07.519
 is that

00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:07.859
 Jesus

00:23:07.859 --> 00:23:08.480
 path to

00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:09.039
 Jerusalem

00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:10.460
 is our

00:23:10.460 --> 00:23:11.279
 journey to

00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:11.759
 Jerusalem

00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:12.359
 if he

00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:12.920
 set his

00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:13.440
 face

00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:14.079
 to go

00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:14.559
 there and

00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:14.960
 die

00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:15.659
 we must

00:23:15.659 --> 00:23:16.240
 set our

00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:16.740
 face

00:23:16.740 --> 00:23:17.839
 to die

00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:18.700
 to ourselves

00:23:18.700 --> 00:23:20.119
 with him

00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:21.940
 we die

00:23:21.940 --> 00:23:22.240
 as he

00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:22.680
 does

00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:23.579
 that's why

00:23:23.579 --> 00:23:24.099
 he calls

00:23:24.099 --> 00:23:24.420
 us to

00:23:24.420 --> 00:23:24.819
 take up

00:23:24.819 --> 00:23:25.279
 our cross

00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:25.680
 and follow

00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:26.099
 him

00:23:26.099 --> 00:23:26.740
 which he

00:23:26.740 --> 00:23:27.039
 made

00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:27.920
 explicit

00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:28.940
 in Luke

00:23:28.940 --> 00:23:29.580
 9

00:23:29.580 --> 00:23:30.500
 23

00:23:30.500 --> 00:23:31.279
 24

00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:33.840
 if anyone

00:23:33.840 --> 00:23:34.340
 would come

00:23:34.340 --> 00:23:35.019
 after me

00:23:35.019 --> 00:23:36.039
 he must

00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:36.380
 deny

00:23:36.380 --> 00:23:36.900
 himself

00:23:36.900 --> 00:23:37.380
 take up

00:23:37.380 --> 00:23:37.779
 his cross

00:23:37.779 --> 00:23:38.140
 daily

00:23:38.140 --> 00:23:38.960
 and follow

00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:40.039
 me

00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:41.420
 whoever

00:23:41.420 --> 00:23:42.019
 wants to

00:23:42.019 --> 00:23:42.519
 save his

00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:42.980
 life will

00:23:42.980 --> 00:23:43.560
 lose it

00:23:43.560 --> 00:23:44.800
 but whoever

00:23:44.800 --> 00:23:45.660
 loses

00:23:45.660 --> 00:23:46.700
 his life

00:23:46.700 --> 00:23:47.300
 for me

00:23:47.300 --> 00:23:48.759
 will save

00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:49.259
 it

00:23:49.259 --> 00:23:51.480
 we seek

00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:53.820
 to secure

00:23:53.820 --> 00:23:54.580
 our life

00:23:54.580 --> 00:23:54.880
 through

00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:56.039
 returning evil

00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:56.639
 for evil

00:23:56.639 --> 00:23:58.200
 or surrounding

00:23:58.200 --> 00:23:58.700
 ourselves

00:23:58.700 --> 00:23:59.319
 with luxury

00:23:59.319 --> 00:23:59.839
 in the face

00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:00.339
 of human

00:24:00.339 --> 00:24:00.799
 need

00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:01.740
 and the

00:24:01.740 --> 00:24:03.000
 billions of

00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:03.599
 lost people

00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:03.960
 on this

00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:04.299
 planet

00:24:04.299 --> 00:24:04.819
 who don't

00:24:04.819 --> 00:24:05.460
 know Christ

00:24:05.460 --> 00:24:05.819
 are about

00:24:05.819 --> 00:24:06.220
 to enter

00:24:06.220 --> 00:24:06.599
 into a

00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:07.019
 crisis

00:24:07.019 --> 00:24:07.899
 with eternity

00:24:07.899 --> 00:24:08.659
 as 55

00:24:08.659 --> 00:24:09.500
 million people

00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:09.819
 do

00:24:09.819 --> 00:24:10.619
 over here

00:24:10.619 --> 00:24:11.359
 in

00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:11.819
 feyed

00:24:11.819 --> 00:24:12.039
 belt

00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:12.220
 and

00:24:12.220 --> 00:24:12.700
 eternal

00:24:12.700 --> 00:24:13.220
 courses

00:24:13.220 --> 00:24:16.119
 if we're

00:24:16.119 --> 00:24:16.720
 blind to

00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:17.259
 that need

00:24:17.259 --> 00:24:17.619
 as we

00:24:17.619 --> 00:24:18.119
 surround

00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:18.659
 ourselves

00:24:18.659 --> 00:24:19.420
 in luxury

00:24:19.420 --> 00:24:19.879
 Jesus

00:24:19.879 --> 00:24:20.500
 says here

00:24:20.500 --> 00:24:21.339
 really clearly

00:24:21.339 --> 00:24:23.159
 you will

00:24:23.159 --> 00:24:23.799
 lose your

00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:24.339
 life

00:24:24.339 --> 00:24:30.459
 when Jesus

00:24:30.459 --> 00:24:30.879
 set his

00:24:30.879 --> 00:24:31.379
 face to

00:24:31.379 --> 00:24:31.740
 walk the

00:24:31.740 --> 00:24:32.119
 Calvary

00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:32.559
 road

00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:33.799
 he was

00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:35.019
 not merely

00:24:35.019 --> 00:24:35.959
 taking our

00:24:35.959 --> 00:24:36.619
 place

00:24:36.619 --> 00:24:37.599
 he was

00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:38.220
 setting our

00:24:38.220 --> 00:24:38.659
 pattern

00:24:38.659 --> 00:24:40.319
 he is not

00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:40.819
 just our

00:24:40.819 --> 00:24:41.379
 substitute

00:24:41.379 --> 00:24:42.480
 he is also

00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:42.839
 our

00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:43.659
 case setter

00:24:43.659 --> 00:24:45.899
 and so

00:24:45.899 --> 00:24:46.179
 verses

00:24:46.179 --> 00:24:46.720
 56

00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:47.619
 62

00:24:47.619 --> 00:24:49.739
 are

00:24:49.739 --> 00:24:50.419
 Jesus

00:24:50.419 --> 00:24:51.059
 way

00:24:51.059 --> 00:24:51.459
 of

00:24:51.459 --> 00:24:52.019
 correcting

00:24:52.019 --> 00:24:53.039
 James

00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:53.619
 and John's

00:24:53.619 --> 00:24:54.379
 misconceptions

00:24:54.379 --> 00:24:55.439
 about the

00:24:55.439 --> 00:24:56.419
 glories of

00:24:56.419 --> 00:24:57.119
 following him

00:24:57.119 --> 00:24:58.959
 three times

00:24:58.959 --> 00:24:59.919
 here we

00:24:59.919 --> 00:25:01.279
 read what

00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:02.059
 it means

00:25:02.059 --> 00:25:02.979
 to be a

00:25:02.979 --> 00:25:03.399
 disciple of

00:25:03.399 --> 00:25:03.599
 Jesus

00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:03.919
 what it

00:25:03.919 --> 00:25:04.139
 means to

00:25:04.139 --> 00:25:04.319
 be a

00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:04.639
 Christian

00:25:04.639 --> 00:25:05.819
 three times

00:25:05.819 --> 00:25:06.319
 the word

00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:06.879
 follow

00:25:06.879 --> 00:25:08.459
 as Jesus

00:25:08.459 --> 00:25:09.199
 goes

00:25:09.199 --> 00:25:10.059
 so we

00:25:10.059 --> 00:25:10.399
 follow

00:25:10.399 --> 00:25:11.099
 by him

00:25:11.099 --> 00:25:11.959
 that's

00:25:11.959 --> 00:25:12.199
 what it

00:25:12.199 --> 00:25:12.500
 means to

00:25:12.500 --> 00:25:12.759
 be a

00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:13.139
 disciple

00:25:13.139 --> 00:25:13.899
 and the

00:25:13.899 --> 00:25:14.179
 first

00:25:14.179 --> 00:25:14.539
 would be

00:25:14.539 --> 00:25:14.779
 follow

00:25:14.779 --> 00:25:15.219
 Jesus

00:25:15.219 --> 00:25:15.759
 is there

00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:16.159
 in verse

00:25:16.159 --> 00:25:16.759
 57

00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:17.759
 as they

00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:18.180
 were walking

00:25:18.180 --> 00:25:18.519
 along the

00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:18.700
 road

00:25:18.700 --> 00:25:18.980
 a man

00:25:18.980 --> 00:25:19.339
 said to

00:25:19.339 --> 00:25:19.480
 him

00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:19.900
 I will

00:25:19.900 --> 00:25:20.200
 follow

00:25:20.200 --> 00:25:20.359
 you

00:25:20.359 --> 00:25:20.660
 wherever

00:25:20.660 --> 00:25:21.180
 you

00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:21.500
 go

00:25:21.500 --> 00:25:23.000
 Jesus

00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:23.519
 replied

00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:24.019
 foxes

00:25:24.019 --> 00:25:24.359
 of holes

00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:24.740
 and birds

00:25:24.740 --> 00:25:24.960
 in the

00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:25.079
 air

00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:25.259
 have

00:25:25.259 --> 00:25:25.680
 nests

00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:26.599
 the son

00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:26.980
 of man

00:25:26.980 --> 00:25:27.440
 has no

00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:27.819
 place

00:25:27.819 --> 00:25:28.200
 to lay

00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:28.859
 his head

00:25:28.859 --> 00:25:30.160
 for the

00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:30.740
 first thing

00:25:30.740 --> 00:25:31.140
 to be

00:25:31.140 --> 00:25:31.579
 with Jesus

00:25:31.579 --> 00:25:31.980
 is going

00:25:31.980 --> 00:25:32.319
 to result

00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:32.879
 in hardship

00:25:32.879 --> 00:25:35.319
 at least

00:25:35.319 --> 00:25:36.119
 for now

00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:38.900
 it's

00:25:38.900 --> 00:25:39.240
 interesting

00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:39.700
 I think

00:25:39.700 --> 00:25:40.279
 that our

00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:40.900
 priorities

00:25:40.900 --> 00:25:42.579
 often reveal

00:25:42.579 --> 00:25:43.160
 an attitude

00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:43.920
 that says

00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:44.319
 I will

00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:44.799
 follow you

00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:45.180
 Jesus

00:25:45.180 --> 00:25:46.000
 provide you

00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:47.099
 give me

00:25:47.099 --> 00:25:47.920
 a successful

00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:48.619
 healthy

00:25:48.619 --> 00:25:49.720
 luxurious

00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:50.420
 secure

00:25:50.420 --> 00:25:51.279
 comfortable

00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:51.680
 life

00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:52.019
 if you

00:25:52.019 --> 00:25:52.900
 provide all

00:25:52.900 --> 00:25:53.299
 that stuff

00:25:53.299 --> 00:25:53.559
 then I

00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:54.039
 follow you

00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:54.660
 you ever

00:25:54.660 --> 00:25:55.460
 stop doing

00:25:55.460 --> 00:25:55.799
 the things

00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:55.980
 that I

00:25:55.980 --> 00:25:56.420
 expect you

00:25:56.420 --> 00:25:56.720
 to do

00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:56.960
 and then

00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:57.140
 I'm going

00:25:57.140 --> 00:25:57.279
 to get

00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:57.579
 cross

00:25:57.579 --> 00:25:58.079
 with you

00:25:58.079 --> 00:25:59.720
 if I

00:25:59.720 --> 00:25:59.980
 start

00:25:59.980 --> 00:26:00.599
 with faith

00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:01.079
 in you

00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:02.160
 start turning

00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:02.720
 back

00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:03.380
 looking for

00:26:03.380 --> 00:26:04.000
 alternatives

00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:06.319
 so these

00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:07.099
 here words

00:26:07.099 --> 00:26:08.059
 are strong

00:26:08.059 --> 00:26:08.599
 words for

00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:08.920
 Jesus

00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:12.220
 he meant

00:26:12.220 --> 00:26:13.059
 that at

00:26:13.059 --> 00:26:13.620
 times

00:26:13.620 --> 00:26:14.079
 those

00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:14.319
 who

00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:14.579
 follow

00:26:14.579 --> 00:26:15.000
 him

00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:15.559
 would

00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:15.980
 literally

00:26:15.980 --> 00:26:16.240
 be

00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:16.880
 homeless

00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:19.400
 he meant

00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:19.720
 it quite

00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:20.140
 literally

00:26:20.140 --> 00:26:21.440
 they would

00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:21.799
 undergo

00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:22.620
 immense

00:26:22.620 --> 00:26:23.600
 discomfort

00:26:23.600 --> 00:26:24.799
 Jesus

00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:25.539
 was saying

00:26:25.539 --> 00:26:26.220
 that if you

00:26:26.220 --> 00:26:26.799
 walk with

00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:27.100
 him

00:26:27.100 --> 00:26:28.480
 you

00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:29.279
 by the

00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:29.660
 power of

00:26:29.660 --> 00:26:29.960
 the Holy

00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:30.460
 Spirit

00:26:30.460 --> 00:26:31.600
 will sense

00:26:31.600 --> 00:26:32.019
 that the

00:26:32.019 --> 00:26:32.720
 world is

00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:33.279
 not your

00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:33.700
 home

00:26:33.700 --> 00:26:36.559
 there

00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:36.720
 will

00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:37.000
 be

00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:37.880
 dissonance

00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:38.120
 and

00:26:38.120 --> 00:26:38.920
 discomfort

00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:39.640
 and

00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:40.700
 disharmony

00:26:40.700 --> 00:26:41.059
 and

00:26:41.059 --> 00:26:41.880
 unease

00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:42.100
 and

00:26:42.100 --> 00:26:42.620
 rejection

00:26:42.620 --> 00:26:45.200
 no

00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:45.580

00:26:45.580 --> 00:26:46.200
 who commits

00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:46.700
 to following

00:26:46.700 --> 00:26:47.259
 Christ

00:26:47.259 --> 00:26:48.080
 and does

00:26:48.080 --> 00:26:48.440
 so

00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:49.100
 and follows

00:26:50.680 --> 00:26:51.420
 a life

00:26:51.420 --> 00:26:51.759
 of

00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:52.380
 ease

00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:02.000
 brought

00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:02.559
 discomfort

00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:03.000
 to your

00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:04.400
 something

00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:05.400
 is wrong

00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:07.360
 the great

 John

 Stott

00:27:11.360 --> 00:27:11.640
 books

00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:12.019
 if there's

00:27:12.019 --> 00:27:12.640
 no sense

00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:13.299
 of fight

 don't be

00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:20.400
 too quick

00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:20.779
 to call

00:27:20.779 --> 00:27:21.079
 yourself

00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:21.539
 a disciple

00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:24.539
 drastically

00:27:24.539 --> 00:27:25.120
 wrong

 a committed

 discomfort

00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:34.379
 of

 giving

 until

00:27:36.139 --> 00:27:36.399
 it

00:27:36.399 --> 00:27:36.899
 hurts

 discomfort

00:27:37.939 --> 00:27:38.159
 of

 putting

00:27:38.399 --> 00:27:38.979
 oneself

00:27:38.979 --> 00:27:39.319
 out

00:27:39.319 --> 00:27:39.559
 for the

00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:39.899
 ministry

00:27:39.899 --> 00:27:40.179
 of

00:27:40.179 --> 00:27:40.500
 Christ

00:27:40.500 --> 00:27:40.679
 and

 his

00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:41.319
 church

00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:41.739
 the

00:27:41.739 --> 00:27:42.139
 discomfort

00:27:42.139 --> 00:27:42.459
 of a

00:27:42.459 --> 00:27:42.759
 life

00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:43.119
 out of

00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:43.399
 step

00:27:43.399 --> 00:27:43.799
 with

00:27:43.799 --> 00:27:44.539
 modern

00:27:44.539 --> 00:27:45.000
 culture

00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:45.399
 or even

00:27:45.399 --> 00:27:45.639
 the

00:27:45.639 --> 00:27:46.019
 traditional

00:27:46.019 --> 00:27:46.500
 culture

00:27:46.500 --> 00:27:46.959
 that I've

00:27:46.959 --> 00:27:48.019
 been brought

00:27:48.019 --> 00:27:48.399
 up in

00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:49.140
 the

00:27:49.140 --> 00:27:49.540
 discomfort

00:27:49.540 --> 00:27:49.900
 of being

00:27:49.900 --> 00:27:50.860
 disliked

00:27:50.860 --> 00:27:51.480
 even the

00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:51.940
 occasional

00:27:51.940 --> 00:27:52.400
 sense

00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:52.720
 of having

00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:53.259
 nowhere

00:27:53.259 --> 00:27:54.040
 to lay

00:27:54.040 --> 00:27:54.580
 your head

00:27:54.580 --> 00:27:56.160
 but Christ

00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:56.920
 is greater

00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:58.300
 Christ

00:27:58.300 --> 00:27:59.019
 is greater

00:27:59.019 --> 00:27:59.940
 than anything

00:27:59.940 --> 00:28:01.400
 that we

00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:01.800
 lose

00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:05.779
 second

00:28:05.779 --> 00:28:05.980
 we

00:28:05.980 --> 00:28:06.319
 follow

00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:06.740
 Jesus

00:28:06.740 --> 00:28:07.019
 in

 verse

00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:07.879
 59

00:28:07.879 --> 00:28:08.559

00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:08.700
 said

00:28:08.700 --> 00:28:08.960
 another

00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:09.200

00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:09.460
 followed

00:28:09.460 --> 00:28:09.839
 me

00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:10.480
 the

00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:10.639
 man

00:28:10.639 --> 00:28:10.940
 replied

00:28:10.940 --> 00:28:11.399
 first let me

00:28:11.399 --> 00:28:11.819
 go and bury

00:28:11.819 --> 00:28:12.399
 my father

00:28:12.399 --> 00:28:13.899
 Jesus

00:28:13.899 --> 00:28:14.359
 said to

00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:14.659
 him

00:28:14.659 --> 00:28:15.799
 that the

00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:16.119
 dead

00:28:16.119 --> 00:28:16.839
 bury

00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:17.539
 their own

00:28:17.539 --> 00:28:17.919
 dead

00:28:17.919 --> 00:28:18.700
 but you

00:28:18.700 --> 00:28:19.200
 go and

00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:19.799
 claim the

00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:20.059
 kingdom

00:28:20.059 --> 00:28:20.680
 of God

00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:22.919
 you see a

00:28:22.919 --> 00:28:23.319
 follower of

00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:23.720
 Jesus

00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:24.639
 needs to

00:28:24.639 --> 00:28:25.419
 really

00:28:25.419 --> 00:28:26.379
 sense

00:28:26.379 --> 00:28:27.399
 the

00:28:27.399 --> 00:28:28.220
 urgency

00:28:28.220 --> 00:28:29.019
 of what

00:28:29.019 --> 00:28:29.500
 they're being

00:28:29.500 --> 00:28:30.220
 called to

00:28:30.220 --> 00:28:31.799
 again

00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:32.480
 really tough

00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:33.100
 words here

00:28:33.100 --> 00:28:33.660
 from Jesus

00:28:33.660 --> 00:28:34.240
 how could

00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:35.059
 he tell

00:28:35.059 --> 00:28:35.680
 a would-be

00:28:35.680 --> 00:28:36.200
 follower to

00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:36.880
 neglect the

00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:37.339
 burial of

00:28:37.339 --> 00:28:37.680
 his dead

00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:38.160
 father

00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:40.620
 now I

00:28:40.620 --> 00:28:41.079
 understand

00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:41.420
 that we

00:28:41.420 --> 00:28:41.579
 need to

00:28:41.579 --> 00:28:41.860
 take a

00:28:41.860 --> 00:28:42.160
 little bit

00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:42.660
 closer look

00:28:42.660 --> 00:28:42.860
 at the

00:28:42.860 --> 00:28:43.480
 text here

00:28:43.480 --> 00:28:45.299
 the man

00:28:45.299 --> 00:28:45.680
 did not

00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:46.440
 say his

00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:47.440
 father was

00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:48.700
 dead but

00:28:48.700 --> 00:28:49.500
 only let me

00:28:49.500 --> 00:28:50.019
 go and bury

00:28:50.019 --> 00:28:50.640
 my father

00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:52.799
 you see if

00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:53.980
 in fact in

00:28:53.980 --> 00:28:54.940
 that culture

00:28:54.940 --> 00:28:55.779
 the first city

00:28:55.779 --> 00:28:56.200
 of Palestine

00:28:56.200 --> 00:28:57.779
 if his father

00:28:57.779 --> 00:28:58.360
 had in fact

00:28:58.360 --> 00:28:59.360
 actually died

00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:00.259
 he wouldn't

00:29:00.259 --> 00:29:01.039
 even be on

00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:01.339
 the road

00:29:01.339 --> 00:29:01.919
 with Jesus

00:29:01.919 --> 00:29:02.359
 in this

00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:02.740
 moment

00:29:02.740 --> 00:29:04.399
 he would

00:29:04.399 --> 00:29:04.879
 be home

00:29:04.879 --> 00:29:05.339
 tending

00:29:05.339 --> 00:29:06.559
 the lengthy

00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:07.879
 details

00:29:07.879 --> 00:29:08.639
 associated

00:29:08.639 --> 00:29:08.959
 with the

00:29:08.959 --> 00:29:09.179
 funeral

00:29:09.179 --> 00:29:09.759
 service

00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:11.679
 so apparently

00:29:11.679 --> 00:29:12.259
 this would-be

00:29:12.259 --> 00:29:12.859
 disciple's

00:29:12.859 --> 00:29:13.240
 father

00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:14.539
 was getting

00:29:14.539 --> 00:29:14.979
 elderly

00:29:14.979 --> 00:29:17.359
 and the

00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:17.819
 man was

00:29:17.819 --> 00:29:18.619
 asking Jesus

00:29:18.619 --> 00:29:19.199
 permission

00:29:19.199 --> 00:29:20.919
 to delay

00:29:20.919 --> 00:29:21.619
 following

00:29:21.619 --> 00:29:22.319
 Jesus

00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:23.719
 until his

00:29:23.719 --> 00:29:24.359
 father's

00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:24.939
 dead

00:29:24.940 --> 00:29:29.720
 the request

00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:30.340
 here revealed

00:29:30.340 --> 00:29:30.740
 that this

00:29:30.740 --> 00:29:31.400
 man had no

00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:32.120
 concept of

00:29:32.120 --> 00:29:32.779
 the urgency

00:29:32.779 --> 00:29:34.200
 or the

00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:34.799
 importance

00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:35.620
 of the task

00:29:35.620 --> 00:29:35.940
 of which

00:29:35.940 --> 00:29:36.500
 Jesus was

00:29:36.500 --> 00:29:37.000
 called him

00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:37.340
 to

00:29:37.340 --> 00:29:39.200
 and Jesus

00:29:39.200 --> 00:29:39.700
 famous

00:29:39.700 --> 00:29:40.200
 answer

00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:40.620
 he far

00:29:40.620 --> 00:29:41.080
 from being

00:29:41.080 --> 00:29:41.880
 hard-hearted

00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:43.740
 exalted

00:29:43.740 --> 00:29:45.299
 the importance

00:29:45.299 --> 00:29:45.980
 and the

00:29:45.980 --> 00:29:46.539
 urgency

00:29:46.539 --> 00:29:47.220
 of his

00:29:47.220 --> 00:29:47.660
 call

00:29:47.660 --> 00:29:48.539
 let the

00:29:48.539 --> 00:29:49.080
 dead

00:29:49.080 --> 00:29:50.180
 that is

00:29:50.180 --> 00:29:50.799
 the spiritually

00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:51.299
 dead

00:29:51.299 --> 00:29:51.900
 bury the

00:29:51.900 --> 00:29:52.380
 physically

00:29:52.380 --> 00:29:52.940
 dead

00:29:52.940 --> 00:29:53.840
 but you

00:29:53.840 --> 00:29:54.539
 go and

00:29:54.539 --> 00:29:55.180
 proclaim

00:29:55.180 --> 00:29:55.779
 the kingdom

00:29:55.779 --> 00:29:56.340
 of God

00:29:56.340 --> 00:29:57.140
 salvation

00:29:57.140 --> 00:29:58.740
 of humanity

00:29:58.740 --> 00:30:00.519
 in Christ

00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:01.720
 you don't

00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:02.160
 do that

00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:02.519
 job

00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:03.880
 and to

00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:04.420
 neglect

00:30:04.420 --> 00:30:05.120
 doing that

00:30:05.120 --> 00:30:05.420
 job

00:30:05.420 --> 00:30:06.100
 to neglect

00:30:06.100 --> 00:30:07.200
 the proclamation

00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:07.880
 of the good

00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:08.380
 news of the

00:30:08.380 --> 00:30:08.840
 gospel

00:30:08.840 --> 00:30:10.320
 means that

00:30:10.320 --> 00:30:10.880
 this man

00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:11.820
 was blinded

00:30:11.820 --> 00:30:12.140
 to his

00:30:12.140 --> 00:30:12.960
 father's

00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:13.299
 deepest

00:30:13.299 --> 00:30:14.000
 needs

00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:15.500
 not the

00:30:15.500 --> 00:30:16.120
 first death

00:30:16.120 --> 00:30:16.480
 that's not

00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:16.900
 your biggest

00:30:16.900 --> 00:30:17.519
 concern

00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:18.380
 the second

00:30:18.380 --> 00:30:18.700
 death

00:30:18.700 --> 00:30:19.240
 rejection

00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:19.840
 from God

00:30:19.840 --> 00:30:20.519
 for eternity

00:30:20.519 --> 00:30:21.680
 that's what

00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:22.140
 your dad

00:30:22.140 --> 00:30:22.559
 needs to

00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:22.799
 know

00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:23.519
 Christ

00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:27.659
 if we're

00:30:27.659 --> 00:30:28.099
 really on the

00:30:28.099 --> 00:30:28.440
 road with

00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:28.720
 Jesus

00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:29.339
 life is

00:30:29.339 --> 00:30:29.799
 filled

00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:30.379
 with this

00:30:30.379 --> 00:30:32.240
 intense

00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:32.940
 urgency

00:30:32.940 --> 00:30:34.159
 we have

00:30:34.159 --> 00:30:34.759
 the words

00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:35.659
 of life

00:30:35.659 --> 00:30:36.940
 and life

00:30:36.940 --> 00:30:37.919
 is short

00:30:37.919 --> 00:30:38.740
 and there

00:30:38.740 --> 00:30:39.319
 is so little

00:30:39.319 --> 00:30:39.960
 time

00:30:39.960 --> 00:30:40.559
 and we

00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:41.500
 have such

00:30:41.500 --> 00:30:42.299
 good news

00:30:42.299 --> 00:30:42.919
 to proclaim

00:30:42.919 --> 00:30:43.839
 far and

00:30:43.839 --> 00:30:44.339
 wide

00:30:44.339 --> 00:30:48.440
 my

00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:49.700
 desire

00:30:49.700 --> 00:30:50.139
 for us

00:30:50.139 --> 00:30:50.440
 as the

00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:50.819
 church

00:30:50.819 --> 00:30:51.220
 as we

00:30:51.220 --> 00:30:51.599
 go through

00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:51.879
 this

00:30:51.879 --> 00:30:52.779
 series

00:30:52.779 --> 00:30:53.719
 is that

00:30:53.719 --> 00:30:54.919
 my prayer

00:30:54.919 --> 00:30:55.240
 is that

00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:55.480
 God

00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:55.919
 will give

00:30:55.919 --> 00:30:56.319
 us such

00:30:56.319 --> 00:30:56.859
 a deep

00:30:56.859 --> 00:30:57.379
 sense

00:30:57.379 --> 00:30:58.059
 of that

00:30:58.059 --> 00:30:58.779
 urgency

00:30:58.779 --> 00:30:59.519
 of the

00:30:59.519 --> 00:30:59.879
 gospel

00:30:59.879 --> 00:31:00.359
 being

00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:01.359
 proclaimed

00:31:01.359 --> 00:31:04.379
 I've got

00:31:04.379 --> 00:31:04.919
 to be honest

00:31:04.919 --> 00:31:06.099
 I'm not

00:31:06.099 --> 00:31:07.059
 sensing it

00:31:07.059 --> 00:31:07.500
 at the

00:31:07.500 --> 00:31:07.899
 moment

00:31:07.899 --> 00:31:10.559
 my fear

00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:10.939
 is this

00:31:10.939 --> 00:31:12.339
 series is so

00:31:12.339 --> 00:31:13.059
 important for

00:31:13.059 --> 00:31:13.219
 us

00:31:13.219 --> 00:31:13.879
 that we've

00:31:13.879 --> 00:31:14.179
 settled

00:31:14.179 --> 00:31:14.500
 in the

00:31:14.500 --> 00:31:15.099
 comfort

00:31:15.099 --> 00:31:15.599
 of us

00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:19.000
 so one

00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:19.259
 of my

00:31:19.259 --> 00:31:19.559
 prayers

00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:19.799
 is that

00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:20.039
 we would

00:31:20.039 --> 00:31:20.819
 live out

00:31:20.819 --> 00:31:22.339
 a radically

00:31:22.339 --> 00:31:22.759
 different

00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:23.319
 dream

00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:25.139
 a dream

00:31:25.139 --> 00:31:25.419
 to do

00:31:25.419 --> 00:31:25.679
 something

00:31:25.679 --> 00:31:26.279
 radically

00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:26.679
 loving

00:31:26.679 --> 00:31:27.059
 with our

00:31:27.059 --> 00:31:27.579
 possessions

00:31:27.579 --> 00:31:29.299
 something

00:31:29.299 --> 00:31:29.799
 radically

00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:30.179
 loving

00:31:30.179 --> 00:31:30.480
 with our

00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:30.740
 money

00:31:30.740 --> 00:31:31.059
 something

00:31:31.059 --> 00:31:31.679
 radically

00:31:31.679 --> 00:31:32.039
 loving

00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:32.399
 with our

00:31:32.399 --> 00:31:32.759
 time

00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:33.099
 something

00:31:33.099 --> 00:31:33.779
 radically

00:31:33.779 --> 00:31:34.119
 loving

00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:34.599
 with our

00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:35.219
 families

00:31:35.219 --> 00:31:35.559
 and our

00:31:35.559 --> 00:31:36.319
 relationships

00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:38.859
 sense

00:31:38.859 --> 00:31:39.639
 the urgency

00:31:39.639 --> 00:31:40.079
 of what

00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:40.319
 God

00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:40.460
 has

00:31:40.460 --> 00:31:40.740
 called

00:31:40.740 --> 00:31:40.859
 us

00:31:40.859 --> 00:31:41.079
 to

00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:43.859
 the

00:31:43.859 --> 00:31:44.079
 third

00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:44.259
 would

00:31:44.259 --> 00:31:44.399
 be

00:31:44.399 --> 00:31:45.299
 to

00:31:45.299 --> 00:31:45.579
 see

00:31:45.579 --> 00:31:45.799
 that

00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:46.059
 Jesus

00:31:46.059 --> 00:31:46.659
 demands

00:31:46.659 --> 00:31:47.220
 allegiance

00:31:47.220 --> 00:31:47.579
 from

00:31:47.579 --> 00:31:47.819
 those

00:31:47.819 --> 00:31:47.960
 who

00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:48.200
 follow

00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:48.579
 him

00:31:48.579 --> 00:31:50.279
 verse

00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:50.779
 61

00:31:50.779 --> 00:31:51.259
 still

00:31:51.259 --> 00:31:51.599
 another

00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:52.059
 said

00:31:52.059 --> 00:31:52.299
 I'll

00:31:52.299 --> 00:31:52.480
 follow

00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:52.619
 you

00:31:52.619 --> 00:31:52.939
 Lord

00:31:52.939 --> 00:31:53.159
 but

00:31:53.159 --> 00:31:53.359
 first

00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:53.539
 let me

00:31:53.539 --> 00:31:53.679
 go

00:31:53.679 --> 00:31:53.899
 back

00:31:53.899 --> 00:31:54.019
 and

00:31:54.019 --> 00:31:54.139
 say

00:31:54.139 --> 00:31:54.379
 bye

00:31:54.379 --> 00:31:54.519
 to

00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:55.059
 family

00:31:55.059 --> 00:31:56.179
 Jesus

00:31:56.179 --> 00:31:56.599
 replied

00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:56.919
 no one

00:31:56.919 --> 00:31:57.179
 puts

00:31:57.179 --> 00:31:57.559
 a hand

00:31:57.559 --> 00:31:57.799
 to the

00:31:57.799 --> 00:31:58.019
 player

00:31:58.019 --> 00:31:58.319
 and looks

00:31:58.319 --> 00:31:58.579
 back

00:31:58.579 --> 00:31:58.939
 as fit

00:31:58.939 --> 00:31:59.119
 for

00:31:59.119 --> 00:31:59.379
 service

00:31:59.379 --> 00:31:59.559
 of

00:31:59.559 --> 00:31:59.619
 the

00:31:59.619 --> 00:31:59.819
 kingdom

00:31:59.819 --> 00:32:00.000
 of

00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:00.259
 God

00:32:00.259 --> 00:32:01.899
 simple

00:32:01.899 --> 00:32:02.220
 point

00:32:02.220 --> 00:32:02.519
 here

00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:02.700
 is

00:32:02.700 --> 00:32:02.839
 you

00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:03.240
 cannot

00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:03.619
 play

00:32:03.619 --> 00:32:03.779
 out

00:32:03.779 --> 00:32:04.119
 in a

00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:04.439
 straight

00:32:04.439 --> 00:32:04.919
 line

00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:05.600
 while

00:32:05.600 --> 00:32:05.960
 constantly

00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:06.259
 looking

00:32:06.259 --> 00:32:06.800
 backwards

00:32:06.800 --> 00:32:09.140
 for

00:32:09.140 --> 00:32:09.380
 those

00:32:09.380 --> 00:32:09.519
 of

00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:09.700
 you

00:32:09.700 --> 00:32:10.019
 not

00:32:10.019 --> 00:32:10.340
 familiar

00:32:10.340 --> 00:32:10.660
 with

00:32:10.660 --> 00:32:11.320
 agriculture

00:32:11.320 --> 00:32:13.100
 you can't

00:32:13.100 --> 00:32:13.700
 drive on the

00:32:13.700 --> 00:32:14.100
 right side

00:32:14.100 --> 00:32:14.259
 of the

00:32:14.259 --> 00:32:14.440
 road

00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:14.759
 for too

00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:15.039
 long

00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:15.440
 if you're

00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:16.660
 constantly

00:32:16.660 --> 00:32:17.060
 looking at

00:32:17.060 --> 00:32:17.100
 the

00:32:17.100 --> 00:32:17.460
 re-vision

00:32:17.460 --> 00:32:18.740
 bearer

00:32:18.740 --> 00:32:18.880
 it

00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:19.100
 doesn't

00:32:19.100 --> 00:32:19.539
 work

00:32:19.539 --> 00:32:21.680
 I

00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:22.080
 tried

00:32:22.080 --> 00:32:23.039
 and I

00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:23.420
 ran

00:32:23.420 --> 00:32:24.240
 many years

00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:24.580
 ago

00:32:24.580 --> 00:32:25.000
 I was

00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:25.700
 about 15

00:32:25.700 --> 00:32:26.259
 I think

00:32:26.259 --> 00:32:26.880
 late one

00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:27.140
 night

00:32:27.140 --> 00:32:27.640
 driving a

00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:27.940
 truck

00:32:27.940 --> 00:32:29.240
 which

00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:29.900
 should

00:32:29.900 --> 00:32:30.100
 be

00:32:30.100 --> 00:32:30.340
 growing

00:32:30.340 --> 00:32:32.160
 and

00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:34.100
 driving

00:32:34.099 --> 00:32:34.719
 along

00:32:34.719 --> 00:32:35.099
 this

00:32:35.099 --> 00:32:36.079
 road

00:32:36.079 --> 00:32:36.399
 which

00:32:36.399 --> 00:32:36.659
 had

00:32:36.659 --> 00:32:37.339
 big

00:32:37.339 --> 00:32:38.919
 cotton

00:32:38.919 --> 00:32:40.000
 stuff

00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:40.539
 cotton

00:32:40.539 --> 00:32:41.099
 modules

00:32:41.099 --> 00:32:41.719
 pressed

00:32:41.719 --> 00:32:42.059
 and you

00:32:42.059 --> 00:32:42.219
 think

00:32:42.219 --> 00:32:42.519
 cotton

00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:42.919
 you think

00:32:42.919 --> 00:32:43.799
 oh that's

00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:44.159
 nice

00:32:44.159 --> 00:32:44.579
 fluffy

00:32:44.579 --> 00:32:46.679
 nice and

00:32:46.679 --> 00:32:47.000
 soft

00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:47.859
 but you

00:32:47.859 --> 00:32:48.259
 get

00:32:48.259 --> 00:32:49.819
 14 tons

00:32:49.819 --> 00:32:50.099
 of it

00:32:50.099 --> 00:32:50.619
 and push

00:32:50.619 --> 00:32:51.079
 it into

00:32:51.079 --> 00:32:51.779
 a block

00:32:51.779 --> 00:32:52.399
 it's a

00:32:52.399 --> 00:32:52.679
 solid

00:32:52.679 --> 00:32:53.199
 block

00:32:53.199 --> 00:32:53.939
 and so

00:32:53.939 --> 00:32:54.099
 I'm

00:32:54.099 --> 00:32:54.419
 driving

00:32:54.419 --> 00:32:54.959
 along

00:32:54.959 --> 00:32:56.679
 and I

00:32:56.679 --> 00:32:56.939
 argued

00:32:56.939 --> 00:32:57.259
 with the

00:32:57.259 --> 00:32:57.779
 guy beside

00:32:57.779 --> 00:32:58.139
 me about

00:32:58.139 --> 00:32:58.659
 something

00:32:58.659 --> 00:32:59.659
 it was

00:32:59.659 --> 00:33:00.439
 late the

00:33:00.439 --> 00:33:00.839
 afternoon

00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:01.079
 we're

00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:01.339
 looking

00:33:01.339 --> 00:33:01.659
 out

00:33:01.659 --> 00:33:01.899
 there's

00:33:01.899 --> 00:33:02.079
 this

00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:02.539
 machine

00:33:02.539 --> 00:33:02.899
 up in

00:33:02.899 --> 00:33:03.240
 the distance

00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:03.640
 driving

00:33:03.640 --> 00:33:03.900
 and I

00:33:03.900 --> 00:33:04.200
 said what

00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:04.740
 machines

00:33:04.740 --> 00:33:04.960
 were

00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:05.220
 and I

00:33:05.220 --> 00:33:05.519
 said no

00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:06.799
 it's not

00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:07.480
 and I

00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:07.700
 drove

00:33:07.700 --> 00:33:08.099
 along

00:33:08.099 --> 00:33:08.980
 and I

00:33:08.980 --> 00:33:09.359
 just sort

00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:09.720
 of thought

00:33:09.720 --> 00:33:10.039
 I'm going

00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:10.220
 to win

00:33:10.220 --> 00:33:10.660
 this argument

00:33:10.660 --> 00:33:12.920
 and I'm

00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:14.039
 staring at

00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:14.740
 this stuff

00:33:14.740 --> 00:33:15.359
 forgetting I'm

00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:15.839
 driving

00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:16.519
 and what you

00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:17.099
 do when

00:33:17.099 --> 00:33:17.519
 you're looking

00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:18.019
 in a particular

00:33:18.019 --> 00:33:18.539
 direction

00:33:18.539 --> 00:33:20.420
 you subconsciously

00:33:20.420 --> 00:33:21.019
 start doing

00:33:21.019 --> 00:33:21.400
 that

00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:22.859
 you subconsciously

00:33:22.859 --> 00:33:23.500
 start driving

00:33:23.500 --> 00:33:24.000
 in the direction

00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:24.440
 you should try

00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:24.920
 sometime

00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:25.660
 and

00:33:25.660 --> 00:33:29.880
 next thing

00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:30.380
 you know

00:33:30.380 --> 00:33:31.940
 I drove

00:33:31.940 --> 00:33:33.000
 back

00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:33.580
 straight into

00:33:33.580 --> 00:33:33.820
 one of

00:33:33.820 --> 00:33:33.980
 these

00:33:33.980 --> 00:33:34.400
 14

00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:34.700
 tons

00:33:34.700 --> 00:33:34.880
 of

00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:35.160
 cotton

00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:36.000
 which is

00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:36.680
 unforgiving

00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:37.700
 totally smashed

00:33:37.700 --> 00:33:38.140
 this truck

00:33:38.140 --> 00:33:38.580
 up big

00:33:38.580 --> 00:33:38.880
 time

00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:39.440
 don't know

00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:40.040
 how anyone

00:33:40.040 --> 00:33:40.540
 was killed

00:33:40.540 --> 00:33:40.820
 I mean

00:33:40.820 --> 00:33:41.060
 listen

00:33:41.060 --> 00:33:41.380
 if you got

00:33:41.380 --> 00:33:41.700
 straight into

00:33:41.700 --> 00:33:41.940
 the industry

00:33:41.940 --> 00:33:42.400
 you would land

00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:42.620
 in the

00:33:42.620 --> 00:33:42.880
 cotton

00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:43.500
 maybe

00:33:43.500 --> 00:33:45.240
 that's

00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:45.460
 Jesus

00:33:45.460 --> 00:33:45.880
 pointing

00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:48.599
 you can't

00:33:48.599 --> 00:33:49.039
 plough

00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:49.440
 in a

00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:50.000
 straight line

00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:50.500
 by looking

00:33:50.500 --> 00:33:50.839
 back

00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:51.759
 you can't

00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:52.019
 follow

00:33:52.019 --> 00:33:52.460
 Jesus

00:33:52.460 --> 00:33:53.380
 you can't

00:33:53.380 --> 00:33:53.960
 make Jesus

00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:54.880
 look great

00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:55.500
 if you're

00:33:55.500 --> 00:33:55.880
 always

00:33:55.880 --> 00:33:56.619
 second guessing

00:33:56.619 --> 00:33:58.019
 is he

00:33:58.019 --> 00:33:58.880
 worthy

00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:00.599
 is he

00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:00.900
 most

00:34:00.900 --> 00:34:01.500
 important

00:34:01.500 --> 00:34:05.200
 the

00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:05.680
 disciple

00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:06.579
 must not

00:34:06.579 --> 00:34:07.119
 condition

00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:07.440
 their

00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:07.980
 commitment

00:34:07.980 --> 00:34:08.719
 to Jesus

00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:09.800
 even on

00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:10.300
 the most

00:34:10.300 --> 00:34:11.099
 highest

00:34:11.099 --> 00:34:11.300
 of

00:34:11.300 --> 00:34:11.840
 obligations

00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:12.340
 in this

00:34:12.340 --> 00:34:12.679
 world

00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:14.239
 such as

00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:15.179
 family

00:34:15.179 --> 00:34:16.339
 and other

00:34:16.339 --> 00:34:17.239
 relationships

00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:18.779
 oh my

00:34:18.779 --> 00:34:19.259
 family's

00:34:19.259 --> 00:34:20.059
 requiring me

00:34:20.059 --> 00:34:20.940
 to do

00:34:20.940 --> 00:34:21.519
 more here

00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:21.819
 Jesus

00:34:21.819 --> 00:34:22.359
 so let me

00:34:22.359 --> 00:34:23.259
 just lower

00:34:23.259 --> 00:34:23.759
 the bar

00:34:23.759 --> 00:34:24.099
 with you

00:34:24.099 --> 00:34:24.539
 just for a

00:34:24.539 --> 00:34:25.059
 little bit

00:34:25.059 --> 00:34:25.460
 a bit of a

00:34:25.460 --> 00:34:26.339
 season while I

00:34:26.339 --> 00:34:27.079
 need to

00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:27.879
 attend to this

00:34:27.879 --> 00:34:28.199
 Jesus

00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:28.879
 doesn't

00:34:28.879 --> 00:34:29.579
 negotiate

00:34:29.579 --> 00:34:31.659
 with the

00:34:31.659 --> 00:34:32.019
 level of

00:34:32.019 --> 00:34:32.399
 commitment

00:34:32.399 --> 00:34:34.980
 the call

00:34:34.980 --> 00:34:35.419
 that Jesus

00:34:35.419 --> 00:34:36.219
 makes here

00:34:36.219 --> 00:34:37.000
 is that he

00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:37.579
 must come

00:34:37.579 --> 00:34:38.539
 first and

00:34:38.539 --> 00:34:39.359
 must remain

00:34:39.359 --> 00:34:40.059
 the focus

00:34:40.059 --> 00:34:40.639
 of one's

00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:41.079
 life

00:34:41.079 --> 00:34:42.159
 those who

00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:43.059
 pine after

00:34:43.059 --> 00:34:43.539
 what's been

00:34:43.539 --> 00:34:44.219
 left behind

00:34:44.219 --> 00:34:44.779
 who are

00:34:44.779 --> 00:34:45.139
 always

00:34:45.139 --> 00:34:45.639
 remembering

00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:46.299
 that comforts

00:34:46.299 --> 00:34:46.699
 at home

00:34:46.699 --> 00:34:47.519
 who dream

00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:48.019
 about how

00:34:48.019 --> 00:34:48.599
 life might

00:34:48.599 --> 00:34:49.299
 be if they

00:34:49.299 --> 00:34:49.819
 had not

00:34:49.819 --> 00:34:50.500
 stepped onto

00:34:50.500 --> 00:34:50.980
 the road

00:34:50.980 --> 00:34:51.599
 with Jesus

00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:52.480
 who keep

00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:53.500
 looking over

00:34:53.500 --> 00:34:54.079
 their shoulder

00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:54.739
 and the reason

00:34:54.739 --> 00:34:55.219
 you should be

00:34:55.219 --> 00:34:55.480
 up

00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:57.519
 do not last

00:34:57.519 --> 00:34:58.219
 long on the

00:34:58.219 --> 00:34:58.500
 road

00:34:58.500 --> 00:35:01.039
 allegiance to

00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:01.839
 Jesus is

00:35:01.839 --> 00:35:03.299
 supreme over

00:35:03.299 --> 00:35:04.539
 everything

00:35:04.539 --> 00:35:06.199
 what are you

00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:06.879
 saying here

00:35:06.879 --> 00:35:07.440
 as you look

00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:07.639
 through

00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:08.339
 he's saying

00:35:08.339 --> 00:35:09.339
 Christ

00:35:09.339 --> 00:35:10.759
 I know

00:35:10.759 --> 00:35:11.539
 you idols

00:35:11.539 --> 00:35:13.440
 I know

00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:13.879
 what you

00:35:13.879 --> 00:35:14.519
 hold deep

00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:14.859
 in your

00:35:14.859 --> 00:35:15.379
 heart

00:35:15.379 --> 00:35:17.900
 that is

00:35:17.900 --> 00:35:18.519
 competing

00:35:18.519 --> 00:35:19.659
 for affection

00:35:19.659 --> 00:35:20.539
 with me

00:35:20.539 --> 00:35:23.219
 he knows

00:35:23.219 --> 00:35:23.699
 we love

00:35:23.699 --> 00:35:24.359
 our possessions

00:35:24.359 --> 00:35:25.039
 he knows

00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:25.400
 we love

00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:25.960
 our cultures

00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:26.440
 he knows

00:35:26.440 --> 00:35:26.799
 we love

00:35:26.799 --> 00:35:27.440
 our families

00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:28.239
 he knows

00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:28.519
 we love

00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:29.099
 our careers

00:35:29.099 --> 00:35:30.279
 he knows

00:35:30.279 --> 00:35:30.960
 that we

00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:31.539
 primarily

00:35:31.539 --> 00:35:32.219
 love

00:35:32.219 --> 00:35:32.839
 ourselves

00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:35.960
 we don't

00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:36.380
 surrender

00:35:36.380 --> 00:35:36.840
 anyone

00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:40.160
 and when

00:35:40.160 --> 00:35:41.039
 Jesus responds

00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:41.559
 the way

00:35:41.559 --> 00:35:42.140
 he does

00:35:42.140 --> 00:35:42.480
 he with

00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:42.900
 these three

00:35:42.900 --> 00:35:43.260
 will be

00:35:43.260 --> 00:35:43.600
 followers

00:35:43.600 --> 00:35:44.079
 he's making

00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:44.559
 a radical

00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:45.079
 call on

00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:45.700
 their life

00:35:45.700 --> 00:35:49.140
 he calls

00:35:49.140 --> 00:35:49.320
 them

00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:49.860
 very simple

00:35:49.860 --> 00:35:50.620
 two words

00:35:50.620 --> 00:35:52.340
 follow

00:35:52.340 --> 00:35:53.620
 me

00:35:53.620 --> 00:35:57.559
 but just

00:35:57.559 --> 00:35:58.059
 think about

00:35:58.059 --> 00:35:58.800
 who's calling

00:35:58.800 --> 00:35:59.140
 us

00:35:59.140 --> 00:36:00.100
 we have

00:36:00.100 --> 00:36:00.740
 been soaking

00:36:00.740 --> 00:36:02.140
 for 12

00:36:02.140 --> 00:36:02.640
 weeks

00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:03.599
 in Galatians

00:36:03.599 --> 00:36:04.159
 in the gospel

00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:04.599
 of grace

00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:05.079
 of what God

00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:05.400
 has done

00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:05.799
 for us

00:36:05.799 --> 00:36:06.579
 and before

00:36:06.579 --> 00:36:06.900
 that

00:36:06.900 --> 00:36:07.440
 we did

00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:07.799
 another

00:36:07.799 --> 00:36:09.159
 five weeks

00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:09.679
 on the

00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:10.179
 solace

00:36:10.179 --> 00:36:10.500
 from the

00:36:10.500 --> 00:36:11.179
 reformation

00:36:11.179 --> 00:36:11.699
 again

00:36:11.699 --> 00:36:12.379
 focusing

00:36:12.379 --> 00:36:12.719
 on the

00:36:12.719 --> 00:36:13.099
 gospel

00:36:13.099 --> 00:36:14.739
 this is

00:36:14.739 --> 00:36:15.420
 the creator

00:36:15.420 --> 00:36:15.839
 of the

00:36:15.839 --> 00:36:16.159
 universe

00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:16.599
 this is

00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:16.960
 the king

00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:17.339
 of kings

00:36:17.339 --> 00:36:17.759
 the lord

00:36:17.759 --> 00:36:18.239
 of lords

00:36:18.239 --> 00:36:18.759
 the one

00:36:18.759 --> 00:36:19.279
 who holds

00:36:19.279 --> 00:36:20.000
 all things

00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:20.679
 by the power

00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:21.299
 of his word

00:36:21.299 --> 00:36:22.079
 the one

00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:22.659
 who is

00:36:22.659 --> 00:36:23.059
 from

00:36:23.059 --> 00:36:24.099
 everlasting

00:36:24.099 --> 00:36:25.099
 to everlasting

00:36:25.099 --> 00:36:25.859
 never had a

00:36:25.859 --> 00:36:26.139
 beginning

00:36:26.139 --> 00:36:26.679
 will never

00:36:26.679 --> 00:36:27.440
 have an end

00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:28.699
 born of a

00:36:28.699 --> 00:36:29.039
 virgin

00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:29.779
 as the holy

00:36:29.779 --> 00:36:30.579
 one of God

00:36:30.579 --> 00:36:31.599
 his perfect

00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:32.420
 in obedience

00:36:32.420 --> 00:36:33.539
 he's triumphant

00:36:33.539 --> 00:36:34.260
 over sin

00:36:34.260 --> 00:36:34.860
 and death

00:36:34.860 --> 00:36:35.380
 and hell

00:36:35.380 --> 00:36:36.220
 and demons

00:36:36.220 --> 00:36:37.480
 in him

00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:38.059
 are hidden

00:36:38.059 --> 00:36:38.900
 all the

00:36:38.900 --> 00:36:39.320
 treasures

00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:40.320
 all the

00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:40.720
 treasures

00:36:40.720 --> 00:36:41.940
 of wisdom

00:36:41.940 --> 00:36:42.960
 and knowledge

00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:44.639
 the one

00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:45.500
 who calls

00:36:45.500 --> 00:36:46.599
 this earth

00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:48.740
 his footstool

00:36:48.739 --> 00:36:53.379
 mine's this

00:36:53.379 --> 00:36:53.759
 bit

00:36:53.759 --> 00:36:55.639
 because

00:36:55.639 --> 00:36:55.879
 his

00:36:55.879 --> 00:36:56.359
 earth

00:36:56.359 --> 00:36:57.319
 his footstool

00:36:57.319 --> 00:36:57.719
 the one

00:36:57.719 --> 00:36:58.319
 who commands

00:36:58.319 --> 00:36:58.759
 the wind

00:36:58.759 --> 00:36:58.979
 and the

00:36:58.979 --> 00:36:59.399
 waves

00:36:59.399 --> 00:37:00.019
 the one

00:37:00.019 --> 00:37:00.679
 who raises

00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:01.259
 the dead

00:37:01.259 --> 00:37:02.819
 he's the one

00:37:02.819 --> 00:37:03.539
 who says

00:37:03.539 --> 00:37:04.079
 you follow

00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:04.639
 me

00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:10.259
 he's

00:37:10.259 --> 00:37:10.519
 offering

00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:10.980
 himself

00:37:10.980 --> 00:37:11.739
 for our

00:37:11.739 --> 00:37:12.139
 fellowship

00:37:12.139 --> 00:37:12.719
 and friendship

00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:13.480
 and partnership

00:37:13.480 --> 00:37:15.039
 there should

00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:15.359
 be no

00:37:15.359 --> 00:37:15.940
 question

00:37:15.940 --> 00:37:16.980
 as to

00:37:16.980 --> 00:37:17.339
 that he

00:37:17.339 --> 00:37:17.519

00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:17.879
 worthy

00:37:17.879 --> 00:37:21.259
 but he

00:37:21.259 --> 00:37:21.900
 is challenging

00:37:36.260 --> 00:37:36.660
 to follow

00:37:36.660 --> 00:37:39.039
 he's not

00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:39.800
 holding anything

00:37:39.800 --> 00:37:40.559
 else out

 our hope

00:37:51.860 --> 00:37:52.480
 our friend

00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:53.019
 in times of

00:37:53.019 --> 00:37:53.420
 loneliness

00:37:53.420 --> 00:37:54.519
 our home

 our father

00:37:55.160 --> 00:37:55.820
 our mother

00:37:55.820 --> 00:37:56.760
 our power

00:37:56.760 --> 00:37:57.220
 to get out

00:37:57.220 --> 00:37:57.480
 of bed

00:37:57.480 --> 00:37:58.039
 in the morning

00:37:58.039 --> 00:37:58.700
 Jesus

00:37:58.700 --> 00:37:59.240
 looks

00:37:59.239 --> 00:38:00.459
 every single

00:38:00.459 --> 00:38:01.119
 one of us

00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:02.139
 in the face

00:38:02.139 --> 00:38:02.759
 tonight

00:38:02.759 --> 00:38:03.559
 and he sees

00:38:03.559 --> 00:38:04.459
 right near our

00:38:04.459 --> 00:38:04.899
 hearts

00:38:04.899 --> 00:38:05.319
 and he's

00:38:05.319 --> 00:38:06.059
 poking around

00:38:06.059 --> 00:38:06.439
 in there

00:38:06.439 --> 00:38:06.679

 I pray he's

00:38:07.839 --> 00:38:08.359
 poking around

00:38:08.359 --> 00:38:08.619
 in there

00:38:08.619 --> 00:38:09.479
 by his spirit

00:38:09.479 --> 00:38:12.419
 to see

00:38:12.419 --> 00:38:13.439
 who or what

00:38:13.439 --> 00:38:13.859
 it is

00:38:13.859 --> 00:38:14.319
 that we are

00:38:14.319 --> 00:38:15.119
 living for

00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:16.199
 please

00:38:16.199 --> 00:38:16.839
 let him

00:38:16.839 --> 00:38:17.359
 do that

00:38:17.359 --> 00:38:17.719
 in your

00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:18.139
 heart

00:38:18.139 --> 00:38:20.359
 there's not

00:38:20.359 --> 00:38:20.819
 a single

00:38:20.819 --> 00:38:21.139
 person

00:38:21.139 --> 00:38:21.559
 sitting in

00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:21.899
 this room

00:38:21.899 --> 00:38:22.339
 tonight

00:38:22.339 --> 00:38:22.939
 that doesn't

00:38:22.939 --> 00:38:23.399
 need that

00:38:23.399 --> 00:38:23.799
 work in

00:38:23.799 --> 00:38:24.359
 their heart

00:38:24.359 --> 00:38:25.479
 or standing

00:38:25.479 --> 00:38:25.919
 in this room

00:38:25.919 --> 00:38:26.399
 right now

00:38:26.399 --> 00:38:27.079
 doesn't need

00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:27.519
 that work

00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:28.119
 in their heart

00:38:28.119 --> 00:38:30.639
 please let

00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:31.380
 him do

00:38:31.380 --> 00:38:31.739
 it

00:38:31.739 --> 00:38:33.179
 you don't

00:38:33.179 --> 00:38:33.940
 lose

00:38:33.940 --> 00:38:36.099
 with Jesus

00:38:36.099 --> 00:38:40.079
 William W.

00:38:40.219 --> 00:38:40.500
 Gordon

00:38:40.500 --> 00:38:41.460
 he was the

00:38:41.460 --> 00:38:42.339
 heir of a

00:38:42.339 --> 00:38:43.460
 wealthy

00:38:43.460 --> 00:38:45.519
 Chicago family

00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:47.099
 in 1904

00:38:47.099 --> 00:38:48.039
 and 1905

00:38:48.039 --> 00:38:48.559
 he was 16

00:38:48.559 --> 00:38:49.259
 years of age

00:38:49.259 --> 00:38:50.059
 and he traveled

00:38:50.059 --> 00:38:50.460
 the world

00:38:50.460 --> 00:38:51.239
 in the chaperone

00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:52.779
 I suppose you

00:38:52.779 --> 00:38:53.159
 can do that

00:38:53.159 --> 00:38:53.619
 we've got lots

00:38:53.619 --> 00:38:53.900
 of money

00:38:53.900 --> 00:38:55.400
 but unlike

00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:56.099
 most of us

00:38:56.099 --> 00:38:56.500
 who travel

00:38:56.500 --> 00:38:56.860
 the world

00:38:56.860 --> 00:38:58.039
 at times

00:38:58.039 --> 00:38:58.400
 of self

00:38:58.400 --> 00:38:58.800
 intelligence

00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:00.059
 he

00:39:00.059 --> 00:39:01.420
 he's

00:39:01.420 --> 00:39:02.019
 God

00:39:02.019 --> 00:39:02.599
 used it

00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:03.059
 in his

00:39:03.059 --> 00:39:03.599
 life

00:39:03.599 --> 00:39:04.619
 to give

00:39:04.619 --> 00:39:05.180
 him a

00:39:05.180 --> 00:39:05.960
 vision for

00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:06.519
 mission

00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:08.119
 God's purposes

00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:08.780
 in the world

00:39:08.780 --> 00:39:11.039
 what followed

00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:11.800
 from that

00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:12.760
 came back

00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:13.139
 from that

00:39:13.139 --> 00:39:13.599
 trip

00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:15.720
 Britain

00:39:15.720 --> 00:39:16.440
 education

00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:17.180
 at Yale

00:39:17.180 --> 00:39:18.539
 and Princeton

00:39:18.539 --> 00:39:19.260
 and then also

00:39:19.260 --> 00:39:19.980
 on to Princeton

00:39:19.980 --> 00:39:20.740
 Seminary

00:39:20.739 --> 00:39:21.979
 and it was

00:39:21.979 --> 00:39:22.399
 when he was

00:39:22.399 --> 00:39:22.899
 at Princeton

00:39:22.899 --> 00:39:23.599
 Seminary

00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:24.799
 he committed

00:39:24.799 --> 00:39:25.739
 his life

00:39:25.739 --> 00:39:26.959
 to seek

00:39:26.959 --> 00:39:27.559
 to win

00:39:27.559 --> 00:39:28.199
 the Muslim

00:39:28.199 --> 00:39:28.839
 communities

00:39:28.839 --> 00:39:29.459
 in China

00:39:29.459 --> 00:39:30.199
 to Christ

00:39:30.199 --> 00:39:33.039
 so in

00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:34.319
 1913

00:39:34.319 --> 00:39:35.419
 at the age

00:39:35.419 --> 00:39:36.079
 of 25

00:39:36.079 --> 00:39:38.079
 he left

00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:38.799
 for Egypt

00:39:38.799 --> 00:39:40.359
 and he

00:39:40.359 --> 00:39:41.039
 never looked

00:39:41.039 --> 00:39:41.459
 back

00:39:41.459 --> 00:39:43.699
 he put his

00:39:43.699 --> 00:39:44.179
 hand in the

00:39:44.179 --> 00:39:44.579
 plow

00:39:44.579 --> 00:39:45.839
 and he

00:39:45.839 --> 00:39:46.339
 didn't look

00:39:46.339 --> 00:39:46.739
 back

00:39:46.739 --> 00:39:48.699
 before he

00:39:48.699 --> 00:39:49.239
 left

00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:50.500
 Borden

00:39:50.500 --> 00:39:51.259
 gave away

00:39:51.259 --> 00:39:51.559
 his

00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:52.139
 inheritance

00:39:52.139 --> 00:39:53.259
 $800,000

00:39:53.259 --> 00:39:53.819
 that's

00:39:53.819 --> 00:39:54.139
 equivalent

00:39:54.139 --> 00:39:54.619
 to $20

00:39:54.619 --> 00:39:54.859
 million

00:39:54.859 --> 00:39:55.559
 today

00:39:55.559 --> 00:39:58.119
 what he

00:39:58.119 --> 00:39:58.439
 didn't

00:39:58.439 --> 00:39:58.899
 know

00:39:58.899 --> 00:40:01.539
 was that

00:40:01.539 --> 00:40:01.859
 was the

00:40:01.859 --> 00:40:02.399
 final year

00:40:02.399 --> 00:40:02.639
 of his

00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:03.059
 life

00:40:03.059 --> 00:40:04.979
 in Cairo

00:40:04.979 --> 00:40:05.379
 which he

00:40:05.379 --> 00:40:05.859
 went to

00:40:05.859 --> 00:40:06.279
 to get

00:40:06.279 --> 00:40:07.079
 more language

00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:07.459
 studies

00:40:07.459 --> 00:40:07.919
 before he

00:40:07.919 --> 00:40:08.199
 went to

00:40:08.199 --> 00:40:08.479
 China

00:40:08.479 --> 00:40:08.919
 to reach

00:40:08.919 --> 00:40:09.519
 the Muslims

00:40:09.519 --> 00:40:11.319
 he contracted

00:40:11.319 --> 00:40:12.559
 cerebral

00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:13.299
 meningitis

00:40:13.299 --> 00:40:13.779
 and he

00:40:13.779 --> 00:40:14.199
 died

00:40:14.199 --> 00:40:16.239
 his mother

00:40:16.239 --> 00:40:17.139
 was on

00:40:17.139 --> 00:40:17.719
 the way

00:40:17.719 --> 00:40:18.479
 from

00:40:18.479 --> 00:40:19.159
 Chicago

00:40:19.159 --> 00:40:20.420
 to Cairo

00:40:20.420 --> 00:40:22.179
 to have

00:40:22.179 --> 00:40:22.779
 a short

00:40:22.779 --> 00:40:23.239
 holiday

00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:23.739
 with him

00:40:23.739 --> 00:40:24.859
 before he

00:40:24.859 --> 00:40:25.279
 went to

00:40:25.279 --> 00:40:25.739
 China

00:40:25.739 --> 00:40:29.019
 she arrived

00:40:29.019 --> 00:40:29.500
 just in

00:40:29.500 --> 00:40:29.940
 time to

00:40:29.940 --> 00:40:30.539
 bury him

00:40:30.539 --> 00:40:33.920
 and it

00:40:33.920 --> 00:40:34.519
 is said

00:40:34.519 --> 00:40:36.679
 that she

00:40:36.679 --> 00:40:37.359
 found his

 and other

00:40:39.259 --> 00:40:40.619
 small possessions

00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:46.879
 the words

00:40:46.880 --> 00:40:48.700
 no reserve

00:40:48.700 --> 00:40:51.500
 and the

00:40:51.500 --> 00:40:52.099
 date

00:40:52.099 --> 00:40:53.000
 that he

00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:53.840
 wrote that

00:40:53.840 --> 00:40:55.360
 suggested

00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:55.760
 it had

00:40:55.760 --> 00:40:56.300
 been written

00:40:56.300 --> 00:40:56.920
 shortly

00:40:56.920 --> 00:40:57.720
 after

00:40:57.720 --> 00:40:58.420
 he

00:40:58.420 --> 00:40:59.720
 renounced

00:40:59.720 --> 00:41:00.500
 his fortune

 and

00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:03.679
 he

00:41:03.679 --> 00:41:04.119
 gave

00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:05.880
 the money

00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:08.260
 and

00:41:08.260 --> 00:41:08.579
 when he

00:41:08.579 --> 00:41:09.199
 did that

00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:10.199
 no reserve

00:41:10.199 --> 00:41:10.659
 he wrote

00:41:10.659 --> 00:41:10.940
 in his

00:41:10.940 --> 00:41:11.219
 Bible

00:41:11.219 --> 00:41:13.199
 later

00:41:13.199 --> 00:41:15.500
 his mother

00:41:15.500 --> 00:41:16.019
 discovered

00:41:16.019 --> 00:41:16.380
 he had

00:41:16.380 --> 00:41:16.699
 written

00:41:16.699 --> 00:41:18.119
 no retreat

00:41:18.119 --> 00:41:18.599
 in his

00:41:18.599 --> 00:41:18.960
 Bible

00:41:18.960 --> 00:41:20.460
 and the

00:41:20.460 --> 00:41:20.960
 date

00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:21.260
 that he

00:41:21.260 --> 00:41:21.539
 wrote

00:41:21.539 --> 00:41:22.420
 no retreat

00:41:22.420 --> 00:41:23.739
 corresponded

00:41:23.739 --> 00:41:24.440
 to his

00:41:24.440 --> 00:41:25.280
 father telling

00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:25.940
 him that he

00:41:25.940 --> 00:41:26.519
 would never

00:41:26.519 --> 00:41:27.280
 hold a position

00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:27.580
 in the

00:41:27.580 --> 00:41:27.880
 family

00:41:27.880 --> 00:41:28.519
 business

00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:29.800
 done

00:41:29.800 --> 00:41:30.040
 with

00:41:30.040 --> 00:41:30.620
 his dad

00:41:30.620 --> 00:41:31.040
 wasn't a

00:41:31.040 --> 00:41:31.240
 Christian

00:41:31.240 --> 00:41:31.600
 his mum

00:41:31.600 --> 00:41:31.960
 was

00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:33.480
 done

00:41:33.480 --> 00:41:35.760
 finally

00:41:35.760 --> 00:41:36.760
 shortly

00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:37.300
 before

00:41:37.300 --> 00:41:38.200
 he died

00:41:38.200 --> 00:41:38.600
 in Egypt

00:41:38.600 --> 00:41:38.900
 literally

00:41:38.900 --> 00:41:39.560
 days before

00:41:39.560 --> 00:41:40.019
 he died

00:41:40.019 --> 00:41:40.860
 in Egypt

00:41:40.860 --> 00:41:42.440
 he wrote

00:41:42.440 --> 00:41:42.760
 in his

00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:43.080
 Bible

00:41:43.080 --> 00:41:44.500
 no

00:41:44.500 --> 00:41:45.560
 regrets

00:41:45.560 --> 00:41:49.420
 no reserve

00:41:49.420 --> 00:41:50.760
 no retreat

00:41:50.760 --> 00:41:52.460
 no regrets

00:41:52.460 --> 00:41:54.920
 that's the

00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:56.000
 kind of

00:41:56.000 --> 00:41:56.579
 radical

00:41:56.579 --> 00:41:57.039
 attitude

00:41:57.039 --> 00:41:57.539
 Christ

00:41:57.539 --> 00:41:58.059
 is calling

00:41:58.059 --> 00:41:58.440

00:42:11.059 --> 00:42:11.340
 weeks

 greater

00:42:24.619 --> 00:42:25.039
 risk

00:42:25.039 --> 00:42:25.220

00:42:25.220 --> 00:42:25.320
 the

00:42:25.320 --> 00:42:25.559
 cause

00:42:25.559 --> 00:42:25.720
 of

00:42:29.679 --> 00:42:31.280
 encouraged

00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:31.599
 deeply

00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:31.940
 as much

00:42:31.940 --> 00:42:32.240
 as it's

00:42:32.240 --> 00:42:33.300
 an enormous

00:42:33.300 --> 00:42:33.820
 grief

00:42:35.699 --> 00:42:36.240

 great

00:42:42.420 --> 00:42:42.720

00:42:44.519 --> 00:42:44.820
 church

00:42:44.820 --> 00:42:44.960
 in

00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:45.260
 another

00:42:45.260 --> 00:42:45.820
 state
