00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:06.060
 Acts chapter 3 verse 17 to Acts chapter 4 verse 12.

00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:09.019
 Please follow along with me as I read.

00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:18.339
 And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers.

00:00:19.780 --> 00:00:26.719
 But what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he thus fulfilled.

00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:33.079
 So, repent, therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out,

00:00:33.979 --> 00:00:37.539
 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.539
 and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus,

00:00:42.859 --> 00:00:49.280
 whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago.

00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:51.859
 Moses said,

00:00:51.859 --> 00:00:56.359
 The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers,

00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:00.100
 you shall listen to him in whatever he tells you.

00:01:00.899 --> 00:01:05.840
 And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people.

00:01:06.620 --> 00:01:12.120
 And all the prophets who have spoken from Samuel and those who came after him also proclaim these days,

00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:16.840
 You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your fathers,

00:01:17.039 --> 00:01:18.280
 saying to Abraham,

00:01:18.819 --> 00:01:22.640
 And in your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:27.859
 God, having raised up his servant, sent him to you first,

00:01:27.859 --> 00:01:31.319
 to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness.

00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:35.099
 And as they were speaking to the people,

00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:39.559
 the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,

00:01:40.379 --> 00:01:46.259
 greatly annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

00:01:47.059 --> 00:01:50.539
 And they arrested them and put them in custody until the next day,

00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:52.000
 for it was already evening.

00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.459
 But many of those who had heard the word believed,

00:01:56.459 --> 00:02:00.119
 And the number of the men came to about five thousand.

00:02:01.399 --> 00:02:02.519
 On the next day,

00:02:02.619 --> 00:02:05.539
 their rulers and elders and scribes gathered together in Jerusalem

00:02:05.539 --> 00:02:10.459
 with Annas the high priest and Caiaphas and John and Alexander

00:02:10.459 --> 00:02:13.439
 and all who were of the high priestly family.

00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:16.639
 And when they had set them in the midst,

00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:17.759
 they inquired,

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:22.259
 By what power or by what name did you do this?

00:02:22.259 --> 00:02:26.959
 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them,

00:02:27.739 --> 00:02:29.299
 Rulers of the people and elders,

00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:34.079
 if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man,

00:02:34.419 --> 00:02:36.560
 by what means this man has been healed,

00:02:36.959 --> 00:02:40.280
 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel

00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:44.239
 that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,

00:02:45.239 --> 00:02:46.599
 whom you crucified,

00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:49.659
 whom God raised from the dead,

00:02:49.659 --> 00:02:52.859
 by him this man is standing before you well.

00:02:53.939 --> 00:02:57.560
 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you,

00:02:57.699 --> 00:02:58.139
 the builders,

00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.139
 which has become the cornerstone.

00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:05.359
 And there is salvation in no one else,

00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.439
 for there is no other name under heaven

00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:12.319
 given among men by which we must be saved.

00:03:13.819 --> 00:03:16.379
 This is God's holy and authoritative word.

00:03:16.379 --> 00:03:23.400
 Many of the world's great literary and cinematic works

00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.719
 have a messianic archetype,

00:03:26.079 --> 00:03:28.659
 a self-sacrificing savior,

00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:29.819
 the chosen one,

00:03:30.419 --> 00:03:32.620
 a hero who transcends all his peers

00:03:32.620 --> 00:03:35.000
 and surpasses all those who came before him.

00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:39.219
 Whether it's Aragorn or Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings,

00:03:40.079 --> 00:03:41.560
 Neo in The Matrix trilogy,

00:03:42.699 --> 00:03:44.000
 people have still seen that, right?

00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.000
 The Chronicles of Narnia,

00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:48.939
 Aslan,

00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:51.400
 Jim Casey in The Grapes of Wrath,

00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:53.360
 Simon in Lord of the Flies,

00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:54.060
 Harry Potter,

00:03:54.219 --> 00:03:54.599
 Superman,

00:03:54.860 --> 00:03:56.000
 E.T.,

00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:59.219
 even Goku of Dragon Ball,

00:03:59.819 --> 00:04:00.979
 or Anakin Skywalker

00:04:00.979 --> 00:04:03.360
 in the Star Wars trilogy.

00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:06.319
 These are compelling stories

00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.219
 because they are reminiscent of the greatest story ever told.

00:04:09.219 --> 00:04:11.979
 And these figures are compelling

00:04:11.979 --> 00:04:13.740
 because they resemble Jesus,

00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:16.000
 the original Christ,

00:04:16.339 --> 00:04:17.300
 the real Messiah

00:04:17.300 --> 00:04:21.259
 that all of these other messianic figures point to.

00:04:22.620 --> 00:04:23.839
 And in this passage,

00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:25.319
 Luke tells us that Jesus

00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:27.459
 is greater than all other prophets,

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.160
 he is greater than all other priests,

00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:32.379
 and that we must, therefore,

00:04:32.500 --> 00:04:34.079
 repent and turn to him

00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:35.360
 who alone can save us.

00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:36.600
 That's the main point of this passage.

00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.640
 In the preceding passage,

00:04:39.780 --> 00:04:40.740
 Peter didn't hold back

00:04:40.740 --> 00:04:41.840
 from giving his fellow Jews

00:04:41.840 --> 00:04:42.800
 a piece of his mind.

00:04:43.020 --> 00:04:44.560
 He told them bluntly

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.340
 that they denied the Holy and Righteous One

00:04:47.340 --> 00:04:49.080
 and killed the author of life

00:04:49.080 --> 00:04:50.960
 whom God raised from the dead.

00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:52.900
 And that this Jesus,

00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:54.240
 whom they rejected,

00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:56.120
 was the chosen one of God,

00:04:56.200 --> 00:04:58.140
 the one that the God of Abraham,

00:04:58.280 --> 00:04:58.960
 the God of Isaac,

00:04:59.060 --> 00:04:59.840
 the God of Jacob,

00:05:00.060 --> 00:05:01.200
 the God of their fathers,

00:05:01.320 --> 00:05:02.100
 had glorified.

00:05:02.100 --> 00:05:04.840
 But now in verse 17,

00:05:04.939 --> 00:05:06.060
 he cuts them some slack

00:05:06.060 --> 00:05:07.160
 and says,

00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:07.800
 And now, brothers,

00:05:08.080 --> 00:05:10.720
 I know that you acted in ignorance,

00:05:11.420 --> 00:05:12.740
 as did also your rulers.

00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.140
 What they did to Jesus was horrible,

00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:17.840
 but they did it unknowingly.

00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:19.840
 They did not know

00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:21.520
 that Jesus was the promised Messiah,

00:05:22.520 --> 00:05:23.760
 the servant of the Lord,

00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:25.320
 the Holy and Righteous One.

00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.240
 This is why Jesus prayed on the cross

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.079
 in Luke 23, 34,

00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:31.719
 Father, forgive them,

00:05:31.819 --> 00:05:34.180
 for they know not what they do.

00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.980
 Ignorance does not erase guilt,

00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.180
 but it is a mitigating circumstance

00:05:42.180 --> 00:05:43.759
 that God takes into account.

00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:45.800
 And Peter understands that,

00:05:45.860 --> 00:05:46.360
 and so he says,

00:05:46.459 --> 00:05:48.199
 I know you acted in ignorance,

00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:50.459
 and offers another chance

00:05:50.459 --> 00:05:51.519
 for them to repent.

00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:55.139
 But the fact that the Jews acted

00:05:55.139 --> 00:05:56.659
 in ignorance in killing Jesus

00:05:56.659 --> 00:05:58.399
 doesn't mean that Jesus' death

00:05:58.399 --> 00:05:59.359
 was a mistake

00:05:59.359 --> 00:06:01.759
 or an accident of human history,

00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:02.959
 because as Peter continues

00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:03.699
 in verse 18,

00:06:03.819 --> 00:06:04.659
 it was a fulfillment

00:06:04.659 --> 00:06:05.779
 of God's sovereign plan.

00:06:06.579 --> 00:06:06.819
 He says,

00:06:06.899 --> 00:06:07.519
 What God foretold

00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:09.599
 by the mouth of all the prophets

00:06:09.599 --> 00:06:11.039
 that his Christ would suffer,

00:06:11.479 --> 00:06:12.579
 he thus fulfilled.

00:06:13.479 --> 00:06:15.299
 Many prophecies of the Old Testament,

00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.180
 including the one we looked at last week,

00:06:17.259 --> 00:06:18.740
 Isaiah 52 to 53,

00:06:18.740 --> 00:06:22.420
 Psalm 16, Psalm 22, Psalm 69,

00:06:22.620 --> 00:06:24.019
 Jeremiah 11, Daniel 9,

00:06:24.139 --> 00:06:25.699
 Zechariah 12, 13,

00:06:25.819 --> 00:06:26.819
 plenty of other places,

00:06:27.660 --> 00:06:29.160
 all of these prophecies

00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:30.319
 point to Jesus,

00:06:30.840 --> 00:06:32.579
 pointed to a suffering Messiah.

00:06:34.980 --> 00:06:36.560
 Therefore, Peter exhorts us

00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:38.379
 in verses 19 to 21,

00:06:39.139 --> 00:06:41.300
 Repent and turn back,

00:06:41.939 --> 00:06:44.319
 that your sins may be blotted out,

00:06:44.980 --> 00:06:46.340
 that times of refreshing

00:06:46.340 --> 00:06:48.180
 may come from the presence of the Lord,

00:06:48.180 --> 00:06:50.000
 and that he may send the Christ

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:50.920
 appointed for you,

00:06:51.060 --> 00:06:51.360
 Jesus,

00:06:51.900 --> 00:06:53.160
 whom heaven must receive

00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:53.920
 until the time

00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:54.980
 for restoring all the things

00:06:54.980 --> 00:06:56.019
 about which God spoke

00:06:56.019 --> 00:06:57.660
 by the mouth of his holy prophets

00:06:57.660 --> 00:06:58.300
 long ago.

00:06:59.079 --> 00:06:59.660
 The commands,

00:06:59.819 --> 00:07:01.060
 repent and turn back,

00:07:01.220 --> 00:07:02.720
 form a complementary pair.

00:07:03.280 --> 00:07:04.699
 To repent is to turn away

00:07:04.699 --> 00:07:05.560
 from something,

00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:07.399
 from our sins

00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:08.960
 and from our rejection of Christ,

00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:09.680
 and then to turn

00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:11.819
 towards Jesus Christ.

00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:12.939
 To turn back

00:07:12.939 --> 00:07:14.300
 is to turn toward Jesus Christ.

00:07:14.379 --> 00:07:15.579
 So two complementary actions.

00:07:15.579 --> 00:07:18.379
 The Jews had turned away from God

00:07:18.379 --> 00:07:20.300
 by rejecting his chosen Messiah,

00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:21.159
 whom he sent,

00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.199
 and now they must return to God

00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:24.539
 and his promises

00:07:24.539 --> 00:07:25.659
 by believing in Jesus.

00:07:27.159 --> 00:07:29.300
 We have all sinned against God.

00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:32.699
 We've all rebelled against him,

00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:34.959
 and the default path

00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:36.639
 of human life

00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:38.519
 is disobedience.

00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.839
 And it is for that reason

00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:42.539
 there isn't a single human being

00:07:42.539 --> 00:07:42.979
 on earth

00:07:42.979 --> 00:07:44.579
 who can continue to live

00:07:44.579 --> 00:07:46.039
 as he or she has been living.

00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:50.500
 Imagine the most

00:07:50.500 --> 00:07:52.779
 righteous,

00:07:53.019 --> 00:07:53.459
 moral,

00:07:53.799 --> 00:07:54.219
 ethical

00:07:54.219 --> 00:07:55.500
 human being

00:07:55.500 --> 00:07:56.199
 you can imagine

00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:57.799
 that does not know Christ.

00:07:58.359 --> 00:07:59.959
 That person cannot continue

00:07:59.959 --> 00:08:01.459
 to live as he or she is living

00:08:01.459 --> 00:08:03.099
 and be saved.

00:08:03.100 --> 00:08:06.100
 Every single person

00:08:06.100 --> 00:08:07.160
 must repent

00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:08.080
 and turn

00:08:08.080 --> 00:08:08.760
 toward Jesus.

00:08:09.840 --> 00:08:11.160
 We all need

00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:12.140
 a change in direction.

00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:15.600
 And when you do that,

00:08:15.660 --> 00:08:16.120
 the result

00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:16.960
 is threefold.

00:08:17.100 --> 00:08:18.000
 Peter describes this.

00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:18.340
 First,

00:08:18.400 --> 00:08:19.360
 he says that your sins

00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:20.520
 may be blotted out.

00:08:21.700 --> 00:08:22.340
 The word

00:08:22.340 --> 00:08:23.100
 blot out

00:08:23.100 --> 00:08:24.460
 is used throughout Scripture

00:08:24.460 --> 00:08:26.020
 to wiping out

00:08:26.020 --> 00:08:27.120
 something completely.

00:08:27.860 --> 00:08:28.340
 For example,

00:08:28.420 --> 00:08:29.520
 it's used in Exodus

00:08:29.520 --> 00:08:30.420
 chapter 17

00:08:30.420 --> 00:08:31.100
 verse 14

00:08:31.100 --> 00:08:33.220
 to speak of blotting out

00:08:33.220 --> 00:08:35.340
 the memory of Amalek

00:08:35.340 --> 00:08:36.220
 from under heaven.

00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:38.399
 When your name

00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:39.180
 is blotted out

00:08:39.180 --> 00:08:39.879
 from under heaven,

00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:40.940
 there's not even

00:08:40.940 --> 00:08:42.040
 a memory of you.

00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:43.540
 Not even a faint

00:08:43.540 --> 00:08:45.320
 memory of that person

00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:46.180
 remains.

00:08:49.019 --> 00:08:50.159
 It refers to

00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:50.820
 complete

00:08:50.820 --> 00:08:52.320
 annihilation.

00:08:54.779 --> 00:08:55.860
 When you repent

00:08:55.860 --> 00:08:56.660
 of your sins

00:08:56.660 --> 00:08:58.019
 and turn to Jesus Christ,

00:08:58.180 --> 00:08:59.080
 your sins

00:08:59.080 --> 00:08:59.860
 will be

00:08:59.860 --> 00:09:00.720
 wiped out.

00:09:01.100 --> 00:09:04.540
 the blood

00:09:04.540 --> 00:09:05.180
 of Christ

00:09:05.180 --> 00:09:06.040
 is not like

00:09:06.040 --> 00:09:09.220
 many of the erasers

00:09:09.220 --> 00:09:09.759
 that I happen

00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:10.639
 to have in my house

00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:12.680
 where you erase

00:09:12.680 --> 00:09:13.480
 a pencil mark

00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:14.659
 and it leaves

00:09:14.659 --> 00:09:15.420
 these traces.

00:09:16.700 --> 00:09:17.259
 It's

00:09:17.259 --> 00:09:18.379
 plain and obvious

00:09:18.379 --> 00:09:19.040
 that something

00:09:19.040 --> 00:09:19.740
 was there before,

00:09:19.800 --> 00:09:20.440
 a mistake.

00:09:23.060 --> 00:09:23.879
 The blood

00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:24.360
 of Jesus

00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:25.220
 is not

00:09:25.220 --> 00:09:26.139
 like that.

00:09:27.060 --> 00:09:27.660
 We Christians

00:09:27.660 --> 00:09:28.560
 sometimes live

00:09:28.560 --> 00:09:29.460
 with this lingering

00:09:29.460 --> 00:09:30.580
 guilt and shame

00:09:30.580 --> 00:09:31.780
 as if Christ's

00:09:31.780 --> 00:09:32.700
 atoning death

00:09:32.700 --> 00:09:33.320
 on the cross

00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:34.100
 on our behalf

00:09:34.100 --> 00:09:35.680
 is insufficient.

00:09:37.259 --> 00:09:38.040
 But it is

00:09:38.040 --> 00:09:38.560
 totally

00:09:38.560 --> 00:09:39.879
 sufficient.

00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:42.840
 If we repent

00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:43.420
 of our sins

00:09:43.420 --> 00:09:44.160
 and turn to Jesus

00:09:44.160 --> 00:09:44.580
 in faith,

00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:45.240
 our sins

00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:46.240
 will be blotted

00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:46.660
 out,

00:09:48.040 --> 00:09:48.759
 wiped clean,

00:09:49.020 --> 00:09:50.200
 scrubbed clean,

00:09:50.300 --> 00:09:51.320
 a clean slate.

00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:54.700
 we live in the

00:09:54.700 --> 00:09:55.240
 internet age

00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:55.960
 where it feels

00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:56.820
 like we can't

00:09:56.820 --> 00:09:57.760
 erase or hide

00:09:57.760 --> 00:09:58.300
 from anything

00:09:58.300 --> 00:09:58.940
 in our past.

00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:00.560
 More and more

00:10:00.560 --> 00:10:01.560
 people's applications

00:10:01.560 --> 00:10:02.220
 are rejected

00:10:02.220 --> 00:10:03.420
 and jobs

00:10:03.420 --> 00:10:03.879
 are lost

00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:04.320
 because of

00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:05.120
 something he or she

00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:05.900
 said on social

00:10:05.900 --> 00:10:06.660
 media a long

00:10:06.660 --> 00:10:07.260
 time ago.

00:10:08.760 --> 00:10:09.560
 Our past

00:10:09.560 --> 00:10:10.300
 returns to

00:10:10.300 --> 00:10:10.980
 haunt us

00:10:10.980 --> 00:10:13.399
 and we have

00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:13.620
 this

00:10:13.620 --> 00:10:14.220
 foreboding

00:10:14.220 --> 00:10:14.740
 sense that

00:10:14.740 --> 00:10:15.259
 we can never

00:10:15.259 --> 00:10:15.779
 get away

00:10:15.779 --> 00:10:16.180
 from our

00:10:16.180 --> 00:10:16.680
 mistakes

00:10:16.680 --> 00:10:17.259
 and our

00:10:17.259 --> 00:10:17.740
 regrets

00:10:17.740 --> 00:10:18.519
 but this

00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:19.100
 is not

00:10:19.100 --> 00:10:19.700
 the case

00:10:19.700 --> 00:10:20.320
 with God.

00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:23.680
 He will

00:10:23.680 --> 00:10:24.420
 blot out

00:10:24.420 --> 00:10:25.279
 your sins

00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:26.180
 if you trust

00:10:26.180 --> 00:10:26.680
 in Jesus.

00:10:27.139 --> 00:10:27.519
 God will

00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:28.060
 never

00:10:28.060 --> 00:10:29.080
 hold those

00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:29.340
 sins

00:10:29.340 --> 00:10:30.080
 against you.

00:10:30.560 --> 00:10:31.159
 Our sins

00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:31.960
 will never

00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:32.560
 be dredged

00:10:32.560 --> 00:10:33.180
 up again

00:10:33.180 --> 00:10:34.019
 because as

00:10:34.019 --> 00:10:34.519
 far as

00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:35.000
 the east

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:35.340
 is from

00:10:35.340 --> 00:10:35.740
 the west

00:10:35.740 --> 00:10:36.259
 so far

00:10:36.259 --> 00:10:36.580
 does he

00:10:36.580 --> 00:10:37.039
 remove

00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:37.240
 our

00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:38.060
 transgressions

00:10:38.059 --> 00:10:38.979
 from us.

00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:42.279
 The second

00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:43.019
 result is

00:10:43.019 --> 00:10:43.339
 this,

00:10:43.419 --> 00:10:43.979
 that times

00:10:43.979 --> 00:10:44.579
 of refreshing

00:10:44.579 --> 00:10:45.079
 may come

00:10:45.079 --> 00:10:45.379
 from the

00:10:45.379 --> 00:10:45.619
 presence

00:10:45.619 --> 00:10:45.939
 of the

00:10:45.939 --> 00:10:46.159
 Lord.

00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:47.219
 This is

00:10:47.219 --> 00:10:47.479
 the only

00:10:47.479 --> 00:10:47.839
 place

00:10:47.839 --> 00:10:48.119
 where you

00:10:48.119 --> 00:10:48.779
 find

00:10:48.779 --> 00:10:49.219
 this

00:10:49.219 --> 00:10:49.559
 wonderful

00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:49.979
 phrase

00:10:49.979 --> 00:10:50.179
 in

00:10:50.179 --> 00:10:50.479
 scripture,

00:10:51.139 --> 00:10:51.519
 times

00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:51.799
 of

00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:52.279
 refreshing.

00:10:53.179 --> 00:10:53.599
 The word

00:10:53.599 --> 00:10:54.079
 refreshing

00:10:54.079 --> 00:10:54.739
 refers to

00:10:54.739 --> 00:10:55.139
 providing

00:10:55.139 --> 00:10:55.859
 relief

00:10:55.859 --> 00:10:56.759
 from an

00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:57.339
 obligation

00:10:57.339 --> 00:10:58.319
 or trouble,

00:10:59.179 --> 00:10:59.419
 some

00:10:59.419 --> 00:10:59.899
 breathing

00:10:59.899 --> 00:11:00.319
 room,

00:11:00.739 --> 00:11:01.419
 a sigh

00:11:01.419 --> 00:11:02.099
 of relief.

00:11:04.259 --> 00:11:04.899
 This

00:11:04.899 --> 00:11:05.419
 verse is

00:11:05.419 --> 00:11:05.979
 parallel to

00:11:05.979 --> 00:11:06.599
 chapter 2

00:11:06.599 --> 00:11:07.359
 verse 38

00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:07.980
 where Peter

00:11:07.980 --> 00:11:08.440
 says,

00:11:08.940 --> 00:11:09.200
 repent

00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:10.200
 and be

00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:10.600
 baptized

00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:11.460
 every one

00:11:11.460 --> 00:11:11.779
 of you

00:11:11.779 --> 00:11:12.080
 in the

00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:12.419
 name

00:11:12.419 --> 00:11:13.180
 of Jesus

00:11:13.180 --> 00:11:13.720
 Christ

00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:14.360
 for the

00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:14.800
 forgiveness

00:11:14.800 --> 00:11:15.360
 of your

00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:15.659
 sins

00:11:15.659 --> 00:11:16.580
 and you

00:11:16.580 --> 00:11:17.340
 will receive

00:11:17.340 --> 00:11:18.080
 the gift

00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:18.419
 of the

00:11:18.419 --> 00:11:19.080
 Holy Spirit.

00:11:20.139 --> 00:11:20.480
 Both

00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:20.960
 verses

00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:23.019
 command

00:11:23.019 --> 00:11:23.519
 people

00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:24.139
 to repent

00:11:24.139 --> 00:11:26.139
 and both

00:11:26.139 --> 00:11:26.560
 verses

00:11:26.560 --> 00:11:27.139
 promise

00:11:27.139 --> 00:11:27.740
 forgiveness

00:11:27.740 --> 00:11:28.480
 of sins.

00:11:32.700 --> 00:11:33.320
 Forgiveness

00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:33.720
 of sins,

00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:34.279
 blotting out

00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:34.800
 one's sins.

00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:35.259
 And so

00:11:35.259 --> 00:11:35.759
 given these

00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:36.200
 parallels,

00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:36.740
 the final

00:11:36.740 --> 00:11:37.440
 results

00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:39.080
 is also

00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:39.440
 likely

00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:39.899
 related.

00:11:40.980 --> 00:11:41.500
 So in

00:11:41.500 --> 00:11:42.139
 chapter 2

00:11:42.139 --> 00:11:42.680
 verse 38

00:11:42.680 --> 00:11:43.100
 it spoke

00:11:43.100 --> 00:11:43.320
 of you

00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:43.940
 will receive

00:11:43.940 --> 00:11:44.460
 the gift

00:11:44.460 --> 00:11:44.820
 of the

00:11:44.820 --> 00:11:45.360
 Holy Spirit

00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:46.639
 that the

00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:47.060
 Lord Jesus

00:11:47.060 --> 00:11:47.620
 sends from

00:11:47.620 --> 00:11:47.980
 the presence

00:11:47.980 --> 00:11:48.279
 of the

00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:48.560
 Father.

00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:49.659
 And in

00:11:49.659 --> 00:11:50.180
 chapter 3

00:11:50.180 --> 00:11:50.639
 verse 20

00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:50.879
 it says

00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:51.200
 that the

00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:51.759
 times of

00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:52.320
 refreshing

00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:53.159
 may come

00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:53.580
 from the

00:11:53.580 --> 00:11:53.940
 presence

00:11:53.940 --> 00:11:54.360
 of the

00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:54.600
 Lord.

00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:56.340
 So the

00:11:56.340 --> 00:11:56.840
 times of

00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:57.419
 refreshing

00:11:57.419 --> 00:11:59.080
 are connected

00:11:59.080 --> 00:11:59.379
 to the

00:11:59.379 --> 00:11:59.879
 Holy Spirit

00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:00.299
 who comes

00:12:00.299 --> 00:12:00.659

00:13:37.220 --> 00:13:38.000
 is light

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:41.100
 a yoke

00:13:41.100 --> 00:13:41.580
 is the

00:13:41.580 --> 00:13:42.139
 wooden frame

00:13:42.139 --> 00:13:42.799
 that joins

00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:43.720
 two oxen

00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:44.059
 together

00:13:44.059 --> 00:13:44.419
 so that

00:13:44.419 --> 00:13:45.000
 their strength

00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:45.319
 can be

00:13:45.319 --> 00:13:45.879
 combined

00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:46.419
 to pull

00:13:46.419 --> 00:13:46.860
 a heavy

00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:49.000
 own

00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:50.120
 it's a

00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:50.399
 metaphor

00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:51.379
 of subjection

00:13:51.379 --> 00:13:51.879
 even

00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:52.659
 oppression

00:13:52.659 --> 00:13:54.799
 but Jesus

00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:55.539
 turns this

00:13:55.539 --> 00:13:55.860
 metaphor

00:13:55.860 --> 00:13:56.419
 onto its

00:13:56.419 --> 00:13:56.679
 head

00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:57.019
 when he

00:13:57.019 --> 00:13:57.259

00:13:57.259 --> 00:13:57.559
 my

00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:57.879
 yoke

00:13:57.879 --> 00:13:58.199
 is

00:13:58.199 --> 00:13:58.839
 easy

00:13:58.839 --> 00:14:01.480
 the word

00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:01.819
 easy

00:14:01.819 --> 00:14:02.319
 is elsewhere

00:14:02.319 --> 00:14:02.959
 translated

00:14:02.959 --> 00:14:03.659

00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:05.759
 yoke

00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:06.179

00:14:06.179 --> 00:14:06.719
 harsh

00:14:06.719 --> 00:14:07.319
 it is

00:14:07.319 --> 00:14:07.980
 kind

00:14:07.980 --> 00:14:09.459
 his

00:14:09.459 --> 00:14:09.839
 burden

00:14:09.839 --> 00:14:10.240
 is not

00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:10.679
 heavy

00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:11.000
 and

00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:11.860
 onerous

00:14:11.860 --> 00:14:12.539
 it is

00:14:12.539 --> 00:14:13.219
 light

00:14:13.219 --> 00:14:14.019
 because

00:14:14.019 --> 00:14:14.719
 servitude

 share

00:14:21.779 --> 00:14:22.180
 in his

00:14:22.180 --> 00:14:23.060
 rulership

00:14:23.060 --> 00:14:25.420
 those

00:14:25.420 --> 00:14:25.740
 who live

00:14:25.740 --> 00:14:26.100
 apart

00:14:26.100 --> 00:14:26.320
 from

00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:29.259
 crushing

00:14:29.259 --> 00:14:30.399
 legalistic

00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:30.800

00:14:30.800 --> 00:14:31.000
 and

00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:31.539
 overwhelming

00:14:31.539 --> 00:14:32.180
 shame

00:14:32.180 --> 00:14:32.720
 and guilt

00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:33.039
 from

00:14:33.899 --> 00:14:34.220
 of it

00:14:34.220 --> 00:14:34.820

00:14:34.820 --> 00:14:35.360
 Christians

00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:35.720
 do

00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:36.100
 have

00:14:36.100 --> 00:14:36.220
 a

00:14:36.220 --> 00:14:36.600
 recourse

00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:36.840
 we

00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:37.159
 turn

00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:37.360
 to

00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:37.720
 Jesus

00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:38.300
 we

00:14:38.300 --> 00:14:38.659
 trust

00:14:38.659 --> 00:14:38.800
 in

00:14:38.800 --> 00:14:38.920
 what

00:14:38.920 --> 00:14:39.159
 he

00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:39.379
 has

00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:39.800
 accomplished

00:14:39.800 --> 00:14:40.080
 for

00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:40.240
 us

00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:40.539
 on

00:14:40.539 --> 00:14:40.720
 our

00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:41.080
 behalf

00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:41.560
 on

00:14:41.560 --> 00:14:41.740
 the

00:14:41.740 --> 00:14:42.100
 cross

00:14:42.100 --> 00:14:42.460
 that

00:14:42.460 --> 00:14:42.580
 he

00:14:42.580 --> 00:14:43.000
 paid

00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:43.220
 the

00:14:43.220 --> 00:14:43.480
 debt

00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:43.659
 that

00:14:43.659 --> 00:14:43.920
 we

00:14:43.920 --> 00:14:44.259
 owed

00:14:44.259 --> 00:14:44.700
 and

00:14:44.700 --> 00:14:44.820
 he

00:14:44.820 --> 00:14:45.300
 received

00:14:45.300 --> 00:14:45.480
 the

00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:45.820
 punishment

00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:46.039
 that

00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:46.320
 we

00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:46.659
 deserve

00:14:46.659 --> 00:14:46.820
 so

00:14:46.820 --> 00:14:46.920
 that

00:14:50.980 --> 00:14:51.100
 the

00:14:51.100 --> 00:14:51.539
 gift

00:14:51.539 --> 00:14:55.060
 of

00:14:55.060 --> 00:14:55.139
 the

 Holy

00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:55.620

00:14:58.120 --> 00:14:58.379
 third

00:14:58.379 --> 00:14:58.740
 result

00:14:58.740 --> 00:14:58.940
 is

00:14:58.940 --> 00:14:59.120
 this

00:14:59.120 --> 00:14:59.279
 that

00:14:59.279 --> 00:14:59.399
 he

00:14:59.399 --> 00:14:59.560
 may

00:14:59.560 --> 00:14:59.960
 send

 the

00:15:00.220 --> 00:15:00.600
 Christ

00:15:02.820 --> 00:15:03.039
 heaven

00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:03.240

00:15:03.620 --> 00:15:03.899
 until

 the

00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:04.340
 time

00:15:15.580 --> 00:15:16.000
 Jesus

 consummated

00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:30.900
 brought

 to

 its

 all

 things

00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:35.560
 new

00:15:35.560 --> 00:15:37.320
 sometimes

00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:37.620
 you

00:15:37.620 --> 00:15:37.820
 might

00:15:37.820 --> 00:15:38.259
 feel

00:15:38.259 --> 00:15:38.700
 this

00:15:38.700 --> 00:15:40.440
 cognitive

00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:41.340
 dissonance

00:15:41.340 --> 00:15:42.080
 as you

00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:42.480
 read the

00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:42.900
 promises

00:15:42.900 --> 00:15:43.540
 of God

00:15:43.540 --> 00:15:44.120
 and examine

00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:44.360
 your

00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:44.660
 present

00:15:44.660 --> 00:15:45.019
 life

00:15:45.019 --> 00:15:45.680
 there

00:15:45.680 --> 00:15:46.000
 seems

00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:46.500
 to be

00:15:46.500 --> 00:15:46.759
 a

00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:47.280
 gulf

00:15:47.280 --> 00:15:47.780
 between

00:15:47.780 --> 00:15:48.340
 the

00:15:48.340 --> 00:15:48.900
 ideal

00:15:48.900 --> 00:15:49.800
 and

00:15:49.800 --> 00:15:49.980
 the

00:15:49.980 --> 00:15:50.400
 reality

00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:51.879
 and

00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:52.159
 that's

00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:52.539
 because

00:15:52.539 --> 00:15:52.759
 we

00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:53.120
 live

00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:53.340
 in

00:15:53.340 --> 00:15:53.500
 an

 of God

00:15:59.759 --> 00:15:59.959

 been

00:16:00.500 --> 00:16:01.360
 inaugurated

00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:01.899
 but

00:16:01.899 --> 00:16:02.000
 it

00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:02.159
 has

00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:02.419
 not

00:16:02.419 --> 00:16:02.740
 yet

00:16:02.740 --> 00:16:03.139
 been

00:16:03.139 --> 00:16:04.100
 consummated

00:16:04.100 --> 00:16:05.340
 do

00:16:05.340 --> 00:16:05.360
 do

 do

00:16:05.379 --> 00:16:05.399
 do

00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:05.480
 you

00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:05.740
 wonder

00:16:05.740 --> 00:16:06.060
 why

00:16:06.060 --> 00:16:06.259
 your

00:16:06.259 --> 00:16:06.680
 body

00:16:06.680 --> 00:16:06.899
 is

00:16:06.899 --> 00:16:07.320
 wasting

00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:07.700
 away

00:16:07.700 --> 00:16:09.779
 do

00:16:09.779 --> 00:16:09.899
 you

00:16:09.899 --> 00:16:10.139
 wonder

00:16:10.139 --> 00:16:10.460
 why

00:16:10.460 --> 00:16:10.639
 you

00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:10.899
 still

00:16:10.899 --> 00:16:11.379
 feel

00:16:11.379 --> 00:16:11.620
 the

00:16:11.620 --> 00:16:11.899
 pull

00:16:11.899 --> 00:16:12.060
 of

00:16:12.060 --> 00:16:12.200
 your

00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:12.519
 sinful

00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:13.040
 flesh

00:16:13.040 --> 00:16:14.420
 do

00:16:14.420 --> 00:16:14.560
 you

00:16:14.560 --> 00:16:14.960
 wonder

00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:15.360
 why

00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:15.600
 this

00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:15.940
 world

00:16:15.940 --> 00:16:16.180
 is

00:16:16.180 --> 00:16:16.620
 broken

00:16:16.620 --> 00:16:17.700
 it's

00:16:17.700 --> 00:16:18.019
 because

00:16:18.019 --> 00:16:18.600
 Christ

00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:18.980
 is

00:16:18.980 --> 00:16:19.440
 coming

00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:19.840
 back

00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:21.000
 and

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:21.180
 when

00:16:21.180 --> 00:16:21.320
 he

00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:21.820
 returns

00:16:21.820 --> 00:16:22.120
 he

00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:22.259
 will

00:16:22.259 --> 00:16:22.659
 restore

00:16:22.659 --> 00:16:23.019
 all

00:21:42.220 --> 00:21:43.200
 Christ

00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:44.259
 the

00:21:44.259 --> 00:21:44.880
 christened

00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:45.160
 one

00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:45.860
 the

00:21:45.860 --> 00:21:46.339
 anointed

00:21:46.339 --> 00:21:46.819
 one

00:21:46.819 --> 00:21:47.819
 the

00:21:47.819 --> 00:21:48.160
 Lord

00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:50.980
 this

00:21:50.980 --> 00:21:51.140
 is

00:21:51.140 --> 00:21:51.299
 a

00:21:51.299 --> 00:21:51.740
 thrust

00:21:51.740 --> 00:21:52.000
 and

00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:52.460
 trajectory

00:21:52.460 --> 00:21:52.720
 of

00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:53.200
 redemptive

00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:53.620
 history

00:21:53.620 --> 00:21:54.900
 human

00:21:54.900 --> 00:21:55.279
 history

00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:55.480
 is

00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:55.740
 not

00:21:55.740 --> 00:21:56.400
 controlled

00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:56.860
 by

00:21:56.860 --> 00:21:57.660
 natural

00:21:57.660 --> 00:21:58.220
 selection

00:21:58.220 --> 00:21:59.079
 entropy

00:21:59.079 --> 00:21:59.720

00:21:59.960 --> 00:22:00.620
 ineluctable

00:22:01.660 --> 00:22:02.759
 rather

00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:02.960
 it

00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:03.160
 is

00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:03.779
 sovereignly

00:22:03.779 --> 00:22:04.100
 guided

00:22:04.100 --> 00:22:04.339
 by

00:22:04.339 --> 00:22:04.839
 God

00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:05.440
 and

00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:05.700
 God

00:22:05.700 --> 00:22:05.860
 has

00:22:05.860 --> 00:22:06.279
 directed

00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:06.680
 human

00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:07.100
 history

00:22:07.100 --> 00:22:07.620
 to

00:22:07.620 --> 00:22:08.420
 culminate

00:22:08.420 --> 00:22:08.660
 in

00:22:08.660 --> 00:22:08.799
 the

00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:09.240
 person

00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:09.759
 and

00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:10.160
 work

00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:10.660
 of

00:22:10.660 --> 00:22:10.940
 Jesus

00:22:10.940 --> 00:22:11.440
 Christ

00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:13.740
 every

00:22:13.740 --> 00:22:14.200
 age

00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:14.799
 before

00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:15.500
 Christ

00:22:15.500 --> 00:22:15.880
 prepared

00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:16.059
 a

00:22:16.059 --> 00:22:16.240
 way

00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:16.559
 for

00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:16.839
 him

00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:17.279
 and

00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:17.600
 every

00:22:17.600 --> 00:22:17.940
 age

00:22:17.940 --> 00:22:18.420
 after

00:22:18.420 --> 00:22:19.039
 Christ

00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:19.299
 must

00:22:19.299 --> 00:22:19.579
 hark

00:22:19.579 --> 00:22:19.900
 back

00:22:19.900 --> 00:22:20.240
 to

00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:20.539
 him

00:22:20.539 --> 00:22:21.839
 Jesus

00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:22.240
 stands

00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:22.480
 at the

00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:22.640
 very

00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:23.099
 center

00:22:23.099 --> 00:22:23.900
 the

00:22:23.900 --> 00:22:24.180
 pivot

00:22:24.180 --> 00:22:24.460
 point

00:22:24.460 --> 00:22:24.579
 of

00:22:24.579 --> 00:22:24.799
 human

00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:25.180
 history

00:22:25.180 --> 00:22:28.720
 and

00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:28.940
 since

00:22:28.940 --> 00:22:29.099
 the

00:22:29.099 --> 00:22:29.660
 prophesied

00:22:29.660 --> 00:22:30.019
 prophet

00:22:30.019 --> 00:22:30.259
 like

00:22:30.259 --> 00:22:30.599
 Moses

00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:30.839
 has

00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:31.200
 come

00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:31.599
 we

00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:31.839
 must

00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:32.259
 repent

00:22:32.259 --> 00:22:32.480
 and

00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:32.660
 turn

00:22:32.660 --> 00:22:32.819
 to

00:22:32.819 --> 00:22:33.079
 him

00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:33.559
 and

00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:33.740
 that's

00:22:33.740 --> 00:22:33.859
 what

00:22:33.859 --> 00:22:34.140
 Peter

00:22:34.140 --> 00:22:34.680
 implores

00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:34.900
 his

00:22:34.900 --> 00:22:35.279
 Jewish

00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:35.579
 brethren

00:22:35.579 --> 00:22:35.920
 to do

00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:36.059
 in

00:22:36.059 --> 00:22:36.259
 verses

00:22:36.259 --> 00:22:36.779
 25

00:22:36.779 --> 00:22:36.920
 to

00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:37.440
 26

00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:57.460
 in

00:22:57.460 --> 00:22:58.220
 you

00:22:58.220 --> 00:22:58.320
 you

00:22:58.320 --> 00:22:58.420
 are

00:22:58.420 --> 00:22:58.539
 the

00:22:58.539 --> 00:22:59.100
 recipients

00:22:59.100 --> 00:22:59.320
 of

00:22:59.320 --> 00:22:59.519
 these

00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:00.019
 promises

00:23:00.019 --> 00:23:02.059
 you

00:23:02.059 --> 00:23:02.200
 are

00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:02.360
 the

00:23:02.360 --> 00:23:02.720
 children

00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:02.880
 of

00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:03.019
 the

00:23:03.019 --> 00:23:03.320
 covenant

00:23:03.320 --> 00:23:03.519
 that

00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:03.759
 God

00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:04.160
 made

00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:04.539
 with

00:23:04.539 --> 00:23:04.820
 your

00:23:04.820 --> 00:23:05.460
 forefathers

00:23:05.460 --> 00:23:07.380
 so you should repent of your sins

00:23:07.380 --> 00:23:08.860
 and turn to Christ for salvation.

00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:12.299
 And recall what God said to Abraham,

00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:13.880
 and in your offspring

00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:16.140
 shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:19.000
 That's a quotation from Genesis 22, verse 18,

00:23:19.620 --> 00:23:20.799
 where God says to Abraham,

00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:22.160
 and in your offspring

00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:25.620
 shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.

00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:28.940
 From the very beginning of his covenant,

00:23:29.940 --> 00:23:31.840
 God envisioned the day

00:23:31.840 --> 00:23:34.140
 when all the nations of the earth,

00:23:34.140 --> 00:23:36.580
 and not just the descendants of Abraham,

00:23:37.360 --> 00:23:38.320
 shall be blessed.

00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:41.040
 And that blessing entails salvation

00:23:41.040 --> 00:23:43.740
 because it's a bestowal of divine favor.

00:23:45.380 --> 00:23:47.540
 And that salvation would come about

00:23:47.540 --> 00:23:50.860
 through Abraham's offspring or seed,

00:23:51.620 --> 00:23:52.780
 which is singular,

00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:55.759
 referring to a specific descendant.

00:23:56.820 --> 00:23:59.240
 And this seed is Jesus,

00:24:00.340 --> 00:24:04.080
 the servant of the Lord,

00:24:04.140 --> 00:24:05.720
 that God sent to bless them

00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:07.220
 by turning them from their wickedness.

00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:10.560
 This is why Jesus says in John 4, 22,

00:24:10.660 --> 00:24:12.160
 that salvation is from the Jews.

00:24:12.860 --> 00:24:15.380
 Because Jesus, the Savior, was a Jew,

00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:16.980
 descendant of Abraham,

00:24:16.980 --> 00:24:17.940
 heir of David.

00:24:18.120 --> 00:24:19.800
 Salvation comes first to the Jews,

00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:22.000
 and then through Jesus to all the nations.

00:24:24.600 --> 00:24:25.960
 What's startling about this

00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:28.320
 is that Peter is exhorting fellow Jews.

00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:31.439
 These very Jews,

00:24:31.439 --> 00:24:33.740
 who are descended from Abraham,

00:24:34.740 --> 00:24:37.579
 from which the Messiah came,

00:24:38.980 --> 00:24:40.579
 and yet he exhorts them

00:24:40.579 --> 00:24:43.679
 that they need a change of direction,

00:24:44.179 --> 00:24:46.299
 that they need to repent and turn to Jesus.

00:24:46.299 --> 00:24:52.220
 That's the same with us.

00:24:54.819 --> 00:25:00.559
 You may have come from a distinguished lineage

00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:03.279
 or generations of faithful Christians.

00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:06.200
 You may have come from a Christian,

00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:07.200
 but you may have come from a Christian,

00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:08.139
 but you may have come from a Christian,

00:25:08.139 --> 00:25:11.000
 you could have many accoutrements of piety,

00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:14.200
 outward appearances,

00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.440
 but if you have not personally turned to Jesus,

00:25:18.980 --> 00:25:21.819
 there is no salvation for you.

00:25:21.819 --> 00:25:29.039
 And so he tells the Jews

00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:31.559
 to turn, repent of their wickedness,

00:25:31.579 --> 00:25:32.339
 and turn to Jesus

00:25:32.339 --> 00:25:34.339
 so that their sins may be blotted out.

00:25:39.639 --> 00:25:41.179
 That's the case even for Jews.

00:25:41.299 --> 00:25:43.439
 It's even more the case for us,

00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:44.659
 most of whom are Gentiles.

00:25:45.899 --> 00:25:47.779
 It's not the trappings of religion,

00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:49.519
 institutional membership,

00:25:49.779 --> 00:25:50.980
 or personal piety,

00:25:50.980 --> 00:25:52.940
 or the observance of the law

00:25:52.940 --> 00:25:54.640
 that ultimately saves us.

00:25:55.380 --> 00:25:57.680
 It's only Jesus who saves us.

00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:00.319
 Those things that I mentioned

00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:02.740
 may be implications or evidence

00:26:02.740 --> 00:26:03.779
 of our salvation,

00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:05.059
 but they are not the basis

00:26:05.059 --> 00:26:06.660
 for our salvation.

00:26:07.700 --> 00:26:09.720
 We must turn to the greatest prophet.

00:26:14.059 --> 00:26:15.860
 And as Peter is preaching the gospel,

00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:17.839
 he is interrupted by the Jewish authorities

00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:19.039
 in chapter 4.

00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:20.619
 We're going to see how Jesus

00:26:20.619 --> 00:26:22.319
 prayed in all other priests here.

00:26:23.659 --> 00:26:25.559
 It says in chapter 4, verses 1 to 3,

00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:27.059
 And as they were speaking to the people,

00:26:27.159 --> 00:26:29.019
 the priests and the captain of the temple,

00:26:29.379 --> 00:26:31.159
 and the Sadducees came upon them,

00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:33.339
 greatly annoyed because they were teaching

00:26:33.339 --> 00:26:35.139
 the people and proclaiming in Jesus

00:26:35.139 --> 00:26:36.720
 the resurrection from the dead.

00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:38.460
 And they arrested them

00:26:38.460 --> 00:26:40.740
 and put them in custody until the next day,

00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:42.399
 for it was already evening.

00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:46.100
 Three groups of Jewish authorities

00:26:46.100 --> 00:26:47.080
 arrive on the scene.

00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:48.360
 First, the priests.

00:26:49.019 --> 00:26:50.340
 They are those who are responsible

00:26:50.340 --> 00:26:51.040
 for the temple,

00:26:51.460 --> 00:26:52.480
 the ones who are in charge

00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:53.880
 of the rituals and the sacrifices.

00:26:54.840 --> 00:26:56.420
 Second, the captain of the temple.

00:26:57.120 --> 00:26:58.580
 This is an administrative official,

00:26:58.700 --> 00:27:01.040
 second in authority after the high priest.

00:27:01.840 --> 00:27:02.420
 And the captain,

00:27:02.900 --> 00:27:04.759
 he was the captain of the temple police.

00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:07.580
 He was responsible for maintaining order

00:27:07.580 --> 00:27:08.720
 in the premise.

00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:11.420
 And then third,

00:27:11.660 --> 00:27:14.620
 the Sadducees were a Jewish sect,

00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:16.420
 much like the Pharisees.

00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:18.779
 They were members of the priestly ruling class.

00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:20.980
 Many of them belonged to the Sanhedrin,

00:27:21.120 --> 00:27:22.720
 which was the highest Jewish

00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:25.079
 religious, political, and legal council.

00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:28.059
 And one of their distinctive beliefs

00:27:28.059 --> 00:27:28.860
 of the Sadducees,

00:27:29.019 --> 00:27:30.880
 which we see throughout the Gospels,

00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:33.799
 is that they denied the resurrection of the dead.

00:27:35.539 --> 00:27:37.240
 And these three groups of Jewish authorities

00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:38.900
 gang up on Peter and John.

00:27:39.500 --> 00:27:40.839
 Notice it says in verse 1,

00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:42.980
 As they were speaking to the people,

00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:44.819
 the priests and the captain of the temple

00:27:44.819 --> 00:27:46.620
 and the Sadducees came upon them.

00:27:47.500 --> 00:27:49.000
 They're not waiting politely

00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:51.259
 until Peter and John finish speaking.

00:27:51.900 --> 00:27:53.279
 They are interrupting them

00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:54.220
 as they are speaking.

00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:55.579
 And not only that,

00:27:55.640 --> 00:27:56.960
 the verb came upon them

00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:59.099
 has a threatening overtone.

00:28:00.380 --> 00:28:02.140
 The word is often used

00:28:02.140 --> 00:28:03.819
 to describe the coming

00:28:03.819 --> 00:28:05.140
 of a sudden misfortune.

00:28:05.140 --> 00:28:07.640
 And in Acts chapter 17, verse 5,

00:28:07.700 --> 00:28:10.160
 the same word is translated as attack.

00:28:11.280 --> 00:28:12.960
 So these Jewish authorities

00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:15.580
 descend upon Peter and John

00:28:15.580 --> 00:28:18.580
 as the crowd is listening to them

00:28:18.580 --> 00:28:19.620
 and as they're speaking to them.

00:28:20.900 --> 00:28:22.840
 And it says that these Jewish leaders

00:28:22.840 --> 00:28:24.060
 are greatly annoyed.

00:28:26.140 --> 00:28:27.920
 Chapter 3, verses 10 to 11,

00:28:28.020 --> 00:28:28.920
 told us that the people

00:28:28.920 --> 00:28:30.759
 who had gathered to listen to Peter and John

00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:33.020
 were filled with wonder and amazement

00:28:33.019 --> 00:28:34.980
 and utterly astounded.

00:28:35.099 --> 00:28:36.680
 So this is a stark contrast.

00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:39.619
 These Jewish leaders are not astounded.

00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:40.940
 They should be astounded.

00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:43.200
 A man born lame

00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:45.599
 is not walking and praising God.

00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:46.759
 They should be astounded.

00:28:46.859 --> 00:28:47.480
 But instead,

00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:49.000
 they're greatly annoyed.

00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:55.319
 They see Peter and John as a nuisance.

00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:57.000
 What are they doing?

00:28:57.099 --> 00:28:58.539
 Stirring up this commotion.

00:28:58.539 --> 00:29:02.039
 The day is almost over.

00:29:02.139 --> 00:29:03.359
 I can go home and rest.

00:29:05.899 --> 00:29:07.819
 When our hearts are hardened,

00:29:08.500 --> 00:29:09.899
 even when we see God

00:29:09.899 --> 00:29:11.500
 moving powerfully in our midst,

00:29:11.819 --> 00:29:14.039
 instead of marveling and praising God,

00:29:14.139 --> 00:29:16.139
 we find something to nitpick about.

00:29:16.779 --> 00:29:18.279
 And we're greatly annoyed

00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:21.299
 that our lives are disturbed

00:29:21.299 --> 00:29:21.980
 and interrupted.

00:29:21.980 --> 00:29:28.620
 These Jewish leaders

00:29:28.620 --> 00:29:29.720
 were annoyed for two reasons.

00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:31.319
 One, because Peter and John

00:29:31.319 --> 00:29:32.900
 were teaching the people, it says.

00:29:33.380 --> 00:29:34.779
 And two, because they were

00:29:34.779 --> 00:29:35.880
 proclaiming in Jesus

00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:37.240
 the resurrection from the dead.

00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:39.200
 Since the Sadducees

00:29:39.200 --> 00:29:40.720
 didn't believe in the resurrection of the dead,

00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:41.860
 it makes sense why they were annoyed

00:29:41.860 --> 00:29:42.960
 that they were teaching

00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:44.420
 that Jesus was raised from the dead

00:29:44.420 --> 00:29:45.779
 and that in Him

00:29:45.779 --> 00:29:47.059
 lies the key

00:29:47.059 --> 00:29:48.299
 to the resurrection of the dead

00:29:48.299 --> 00:29:49.700
 for those who follow Him.

00:29:49.700 --> 00:29:52.059
 So that makes sense.

00:29:52.220 --> 00:29:53.400
 But this is not just

00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:55.900
 doctrinal annoyance and disagreement.

00:29:56.819 --> 00:29:58.559
 It's also a political dispute.

00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:00.080
 These Jewish authorities

00:30:00.080 --> 00:30:01.740
 are concerned about jurisdiction.

00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:03.160
 They're annoyed

00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:04.360
 that Peter and John

00:30:04.360 --> 00:30:05.819
 are teaching the people at all

00:30:05.819 --> 00:30:08.500
 without their authorization.

00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:11.819
 So it says in verse 3,

00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:13.160
 they arrested them

00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:14.360
 and put them in custody

00:30:14.360 --> 00:30:15.299
 until the next day

00:30:15.299 --> 00:30:16.319
 for it was already evening.

00:30:17.380 --> 00:30:18.180
 Since the lame man

00:30:18.180 --> 00:30:19.680
 was healed around 3 p.m.,

00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:20.940
 the fact that it's already evening

00:30:20.940 --> 00:30:21.880
 shows that Peter and John

00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:23.140
 have been preaching to the crowd

00:30:23.140 --> 00:30:24.340
 for several hours already.

00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:26.640
 And since it's too late

00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:27.460
 to convene

00:30:27.460 --> 00:30:28.840
 the Jewish legal council,

00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:30.120
 the Sanhedrin at this time,

00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:30.620
 the priest,

00:30:30.779 --> 00:30:31.700
 the captain of the temple

00:30:31.700 --> 00:30:32.340
 and the Sadducees

00:30:32.340 --> 00:30:33.799
 just arrest Peter and John

00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:35.060
 and hold them in custody

00:30:35.060 --> 00:30:36.000
 until the following day.

00:30:37.420 --> 00:30:38.580
 But the word of God

00:30:38.580 --> 00:30:39.480
 cannot be stopped.

00:30:39.580 --> 00:30:40.519
 It says in verse 4,

00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:41.680
 but many of those

00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:42.759
 who had heard the word

00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:43.180
 believed.

00:30:43.900 --> 00:30:44.940
 And the number of the men

00:30:44.940 --> 00:30:46.360
 came to about 5,000.

00:30:46.359 --> 00:30:48.740
 As Paul says

00:30:48.740 --> 00:30:50.379
 in Romans 10, 13 to 15,

00:30:50.479 --> 00:30:51.859
 only those who hear the word

00:30:51.859 --> 00:30:53.099
 can believe.

00:30:53.500 --> 00:30:55.000
 Which is why it's imperative

00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:55.899
 that we proclaim

00:30:55.899 --> 00:30:57.179
 the good news of Jesus Christ.

00:30:57.659 --> 00:30:58.639
 And so we see here

00:30:58.639 --> 00:30:59.699
 that many of those

00:30:59.699 --> 00:31:00.479
 who had heard

00:31:00.479 --> 00:31:01.939
 the word believed.

00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:04.179
 In chapter 2, verse 41,

00:31:04.379 --> 00:31:04.959
 we are told that

00:31:04.959 --> 00:31:06.339
 about 3,000 souls

00:31:06.339 --> 00:31:07.299
 were added to the number

00:31:07.299 --> 00:31:07.859
 of the church.

00:31:08.539 --> 00:31:09.539
 And so by this point,

00:31:09.619 --> 00:31:11.000
 another 2,000 people

00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:12.099
 at least have been added.

00:31:12.099 --> 00:31:13.859
 And if this figure

00:31:13.859 --> 00:31:15.359
 only includes men,

00:31:15.779 --> 00:31:16.539
 which is unclear

00:31:16.539 --> 00:31:17.399
 but possible

00:31:17.399 --> 00:31:18.259
 since he says

00:31:18.259 --> 00:31:19.379
 the number of the men

00:31:19.379 --> 00:31:20.639
 came to about 5,000,

00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:24.019
 he could be speaking men

00:31:24.019 --> 00:31:25.399
 and using the word men

00:31:25.399 --> 00:31:26.299
 inclusively to refer

00:31:26.299 --> 00:31:26.939
 to all of them.

00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:27.659
 But if he's referring

00:31:27.659 --> 00:31:28.740
 only to men here,

00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:30.099
 then the total number

00:31:30.099 --> 00:31:31.219
 including women and children

00:31:31.219 --> 00:31:32.099
 likely would have been

00:31:32.099 --> 00:31:33.219
 significantly larger,

00:31:33.399 --> 00:31:34.839
 well over 10,000 people.

00:31:38.539 --> 00:31:39.799
 On the next day,

00:31:40.179 --> 00:31:41.139
 he says in verse 5,

00:31:41.140 --> 00:31:42.640
 their rulers and elders

00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:43.320
 and scribes

00:31:43.320 --> 00:31:44.020
 gathered together

00:31:44.020 --> 00:31:44.600
 in Jerusalem

00:31:44.600 --> 00:31:46.360
 with Annas the high priest

00:31:46.360 --> 00:31:47.620
 and Caiaphas and John

00:31:47.620 --> 00:31:48.220
 and Alexander

00:31:48.220 --> 00:31:48.860
 and all who were

00:31:48.860 --> 00:31:50.120
 of the high priestly family.

00:31:51.220 --> 00:31:52.700
 The rulers are likely

00:31:52.700 --> 00:31:53.680
 a reference to the people

00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:54.840
 named in verse 6,

00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:56.440
 the current high priest,

00:31:57.020 --> 00:31:58.160
 the former high priests

00:31:58.160 --> 00:31:59.140
 and their families

00:31:59.140 --> 00:32:00.200
 who are members

00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:01.060
 of the Sanhedrin.

00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:02.940
 Caiaphas was the sitting

00:32:02.940 --> 00:32:03.880
 high priest at the time

00:32:03.880 --> 00:32:04.500
 and there's only one

00:32:04.500 --> 00:32:05.140
 high priest.

00:32:05.820 --> 00:32:06.780
 He was the high priest

00:32:06.780 --> 00:32:07.620
 that presided over

00:32:07.620 --> 00:32:08.600
 Jesus' trial,

00:32:09.020 --> 00:32:09.740
 initial trial.

00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:10.920
 But Annas,

00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:12.420
 who preceded Caiaphas

00:32:12.420 --> 00:32:13.200
 as high priest

00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:14.380
 was his father-in-law

00:32:14.380 --> 00:32:16.019
 and he was the patriarch

00:32:16.019 --> 00:32:17.259
 of the most powerful

00:32:17.259 --> 00:32:18.640
 high priestly family

00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:19.740
 in Jerusalem at the time.

00:32:21.320 --> 00:32:23.100
 All five of his sons,

00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:24.340
 Annas' sons,

00:32:24.560 --> 00:32:25.400
 became high priests

00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:25.940
 after him.

00:32:27.019 --> 00:32:27.600
 And furthermore,

00:32:27.660 --> 00:32:28.400
 because the Romans

00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:30.140
 had deposed Annas

00:32:30.140 --> 00:32:30.860
 by force

00:32:30.860 --> 00:32:31.600
 and replaced him

00:32:31.600 --> 00:32:32.240
 with Caiaphas,

00:32:32.580 --> 00:32:34.039
 many Jews resented this

00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:35.700
 and still held Annas

00:32:35.700 --> 00:32:37.820
 to be the real high priest.

00:32:37.819 --> 00:32:39.079
 And this is why

00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:39.799
 Annas is here

00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:40.960
 called the high priest.

00:32:42.059 --> 00:32:43.799
 John is son of Annas

00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:45.099
 who became high priest

00:32:45.099 --> 00:32:46.200
 after Caiaphas

00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:47.659
 and we don't know

00:32:47.659 --> 00:32:48.619
 who Alexander was

00:32:48.619 --> 00:32:49.319
 but it seems that

00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:50.079
 they were all

00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:51.539
 distinguished members

00:32:51.539 --> 00:32:53.279
 of the high priestly family.

00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:54.779
 So they are all

00:32:54.779 --> 00:32:55.399
 the rulers.

00:32:57.639 --> 00:32:58.500
 And the elders

00:32:58.500 --> 00:32:59.740
 referred to civil officials

00:32:59.740 --> 00:33:00.599
 and scribes

00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:01.879
 to scholars of Jewish law.

00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:02.720
 Both of these groups

00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:03.659
 would have been represented

00:33:03.659 --> 00:33:04.659
 among the Sanhedrin,

00:33:04.779 --> 00:33:05.460
 which was the highest

00:33:05.460 --> 00:33:06.439
 ruling class

00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:07.279
 that I mentioned earlier.

00:33:08.299 --> 00:33:08.740
 In short,

00:33:08.840 --> 00:33:10.100
 then all the notable

00:33:10.100 --> 00:33:12.100
 and distinguished people,

00:33:12.900 --> 00:33:14.559
 the who's who

00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:15.480
 among all the Jews,

00:33:16.180 --> 00:33:17.100
 have gathered together

00:33:17.100 --> 00:33:17.700
 in Jerusalem

00:33:17.700 --> 00:33:19.080
 to see what all

00:33:19.080 --> 00:33:20.580
 this fuss is about.

00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:23.600
 And then they start

00:33:23.600 --> 00:33:24.420
 the interrogation

00:33:24.420 --> 00:33:25.100
 in verse 7.

00:33:25.700 --> 00:33:26.660
 And when they had set them

00:33:26.660 --> 00:33:27.200
 in the midst,

00:33:27.320 --> 00:33:27.960
 they inquired,

00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:28.860
 by what power

00:33:28.860 --> 00:33:30.019
 or by what name

00:33:30.019 --> 00:33:31.580
 did you do this?

00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:34.100
 The Sanhedrin

00:33:34.100 --> 00:33:35.380
 sat for court

00:33:35.380 --> 00:33:36.520
 in a semicircle

00:33:36.520 --> 00:33:38.080
 like a crescent moon.

00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:39.380
 So Peter and John

00:33:39.380 --> 00:33:39.900
 would literally

00:33:39.900 --> 00:33:40.500
 have been placed

00:33:40.500 --> 00:33:41.200
 right in the middle,

00:33:41.580 --> 00:33:42.560
 which must have been

00:33:42.560 --> 00:33:43.340
 quite intimidating.

00:33:45.280 --> 00:33:46.500
 And they ask him,

00:33:46.600 --> 00:33:47.580
 by what power

00:33:47.580 --> 00:33:48.700
 or by what name

00:33:48.700 --> 00:33:49.580
 did you do this?

00:33:50.840 --> 00:33:51.540
 Peter and John

00:33:51.540 --> 00:33:52.180
 are aware

00:33:52.180 --> 00:33:53.900
 that not long ago

00:33:53.900 --> 00:33:55.180
 the same class

00:33:55.180 --> 00:33:56.160
 of Jewish leaders

00:33:56.160 --> 00:33:57.980
 accused Jesus

00:33:57.980 --> 00:33:59.360
 of casting out demons

00:33:59.360 --> 00:34:00.580
 by the prince of demons

00:34:00.580 --> 00:34:01.600
 by the name

00:34:01.600 --> 00:34:02.260
 of Beelzebul.

00:34:02.259 --> 00:34:04.160
 And they know

00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:05.019
 that these leaders

00:34:05.019 --> 00:34:06.259
 are not sympathetic

00:34:06.259 --> 00:34:07.579
 toward them

00:34:07.579 --> 00:34:08.360
 by the way

00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:09.340
 they approached them

00:34:09.340 --> 00:34:10.320
 and arraigned them

00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:11.199
 and then detained them

00:34:11.199 --> 00:34:12.480
 and now interrogating them.

00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:15.619
 And Peter had said

00:34:15.619 --> 00:34:16.460
 earlier in chapter 3

00:34:16.460 --> 00:34:17.159
 verse 16,

00:34:17.340 --> 00:34:18.360
 Jesus' name

00:34:18.360 --> 00:34:19.679
 has made this man

00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:20.519
 strong

00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:21.440
 whom you see and know.

00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:22.099
 So it seems

00:34:22.099 --> 00:34:23.019
 the Jewish leaders

00:34:23.019 --> 00:34:23.500
 are aware

00:34:23.500 --> 00:34:24.320
 of the explanation

00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:24.760
 that Peter

00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:25.900
 has already given earlier

00:34:25.900 --> 00:34:26.340
 and yet

00:34:26.340 --> 00:34:27.840
 they question him again.

00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:32.579
 how did you really do this?

00:34:33.660 --> 00:34:35.480
 By whose authority

00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:37.440
 have you done this?

00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:39.300
 Since we definitely

00:34:39.300 --> 00:34:41.460
 did not authorize you

00:34:41.460 --> 00:34:42.519
 and you certainly

00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:43.220
 don't have

00:34:43.220 --> 00:34:44.320
 the right credentials.

00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:48.800
 Then Peter,

00:34:48.940 --> 00:34:49.680
 it says in verse 8,

00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:51.000
 filled with the Holy Spirit

00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:51.660
 said to them,

00:34:52.180 --> 00:34:53.079
 rulers of the people

00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:53.559
 and elders,

00:34:53.780 --> 00:34:54.420
 he addresses them

00:34:54.420 --> 00:34:54.940
 as rulers.

00:34:54.940 --> 00:34:57.440
 In Luke 12,

00:34:57.599 --> 00:34:58.679
 if you guys remember,

00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:00.579
 Jesus told his disciples

00:35:00.579 --> 00:35:01.539
 not to fear

00:35:01.539 --> 00:35:02.679
 those who can kill the body

00:35:02.679 --> 00:35:04.099
 but cannot kill the soul.

00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:09.059
 And he told them,

00:35:09.260 --> 00:35:10.099
 and when they bring you

00:35:10.099 --> 00:35:11.220
 before the synagogues

00:35:11.220 --> 00:35:11.679
 and the rulers

00:35:11.679 --> 00:35:12.360
 and the authorities,

00:35:12.500 --> 00:35:13.220
 do not be anxious

00:35:13.220 --> 00:35:13.960
 about how you should

00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:14.679
 defend yourself

00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:15.720
 for what you should say

00:35:15.720 --> 00:35:17.280
 for the Holy Spirit

00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:18.019
 will teach you

00:35:18.019 --> 00:35:19.260
 in that very hour

00:35:19.260 --> 00:35:20.260
 what you ought to say.

00:35:20.780 --> 00:35:21.639
 So that's exactly

00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:22.179
 what's happening.

00:35:22.300 --> 00:35:22.800
 The Holy Spirit

00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:23.500
 fills Peter

00:35:23.500 --> 00:35:24.659
 and gives him boldness

00:35:24.659 --> 00:35:25.559
 and teaches him

00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:26.679
 exactly what to say

00:35:26.679 --> 00:35:27.920
 and he begins

00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:28.940
 by addressing

00:35:28.940 --> 00:35:29.719
 the Jewish leaders

00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:31.339
 as rulers of the people.

00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:33.019
 And this is significant

00:35:33.019 --> 00:35:34.759
 because later in verse 11,

00:35:35.319 --> 00:35:36.019
 Peter will quote

00:35:36.019 --> 00:35:37.399
 from Psalm 118,

00:35:37.500 --> 00:35:38.099
 verse 22

00:35:38.099 --> 00:35:39.420
 to say that Jesus

00:35:39.420 --> 00:35:40.259
 is the stone

00:35:40.259 --> 00:35:41.519
 that the builders rejected

00:35:41.519 --> 00:35:42.219
 which has become

00:35:42.219 --> 00:35:43.000
 the cornerstone.

00:35:43.940 --> 00:35:44.420
 Interestingly,

00:35:44.659 --> 00:35:45.500
 the earlier part

00:35:45.500 --> 00:35:46.079
 of the Psalm,

00:35:46.319 --> 00:35:47.359
 verses 6 to 9,

00:35:47.460 --> 00:35:48.059
 says this.

00:35:49.139 --> 00:35:49.940
 It's projected for you

00:35:49.940 --> 00:35:50.440
 there on the screen.

00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:52.079
 The Lord is on my side,

00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:53.199
 I will not fear.

00:35:53.759 --> 00:35:55.739
 What can man do to me?

00:35:56.279 --> 00:35:58.000
 The Lord is on my side

00:35:58.000 --> 00:35:58.699
 as my helper.

00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:00.159
 I shall look in triumph

00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:01.279
 on those who hate me.

00:36:01.559 --> 00:36:02.880
 It is better to take refuge

00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:03.579
 in the Lord

00:36:03.579 --> 00:36:05.400
 than to trust in man.

00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:06.840
 It is better to take refuge

00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:07.559
 in the Lord

00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:09.960
 than to trust in princes.

00:36:11.219 --> 00:36:12.900
 In the ancient Greek translation

00:36:12.900 --> 00:36:13.920
 of Psalm 118,

00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:14.880
 that word princes

00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:16.400
 is the same word

00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:17.099
 that is translated

00:36:17.099 --> 00:36:18.279
 in our passage twice

00:36:18.279 --> 00:36:19.139
 as rulers.

00:36:19.139 --> 00:36:21.440
 in verse 5 and verse 8.

00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:24.279
 I wonder if

00:36:24.279 --> 00:36:25.739
 during their detainment,

00:36:26.059 --> 00:36:27.059
 as Peter and John

00:36:27.059 --> 00:36:27.579
 thought about

00:36:27.579 --> 00:36:28.659
 what might happen to them

00:36:28.659 --> 00:36:29.559
 on the following day,

00:36:29.659 --> 00:36:30.219
 whether or not

00:36:30.219 --> 00:36:30.739
 they will be able

00:36:30.739 --> 00:36:32.440
 to leave that place unscathed.

00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:33.819
 They took comfort

00:36:33.819 --> 00:36:35.000
 in Psalm 118.

00:36:36.799 --> 00:36:38.019
 I will not fear

00:36:38.019 --> 00:36:39.500
 what can man do to me.

00:36:39.940 --> 00:36:40.920
 It's better to take refuge

00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:41.480
 in the Lord

00:36:41.480 --> 00:36:42.480
 than to trust in man.

00:36:43.279 --> 00:36:45.179
 It's better to take refuge

00:36:45.179 --> 00:36:45.699
 in the Lord

00:36:45.699 --> 00:36:46.839
 than to trust in rulers.

00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:49.280
 And if so,

00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:50.500
 it's no surprise at all

00:36:50.500 --> 00:36:51.400
 that this is the Psalm

00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:52.720
 that's on Peter's mind

00:36:52.720 --> 00:36:54.440
 as he begins to defend Jesus

00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:55.360
 to these rulers,

00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:56.880
 to demonstrate

00:36:56.880 --> 00:36:58.300
 Jesus' messianic identity.

00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:01.780
 Emboldened by God's word,

00:37:01.940 --> 00:37:03.240
 filled with the Holy Spirit,

00:37:03.360 --> 00:37:04.039
 Peter declares

00:37:04.039 --> 00:37:05.280
 that Jesus is the Christ

00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:05.880
 who has been raised

00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:06.400
 from the dead

00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:07.460
 in verses 9 to 12.

00:37:08.300 --> 00:37:10.780
 If we are being examined today

00:37:10.780 --> 00:37:11.900
 concerning a good deed

00:37:11.900 --> 00:37:13.019
 done to a crippled man,

00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:14.160
 by what means

00:37:14.160 --> 00:37:15.420
 this man has been healed,

00:37:15.420 --> 00:37:16.380
 let it be known

00:37:16.380 --> 00:37:17.200
 to all of you

00:37:17.200 --> 00:37:18.599
 and to all the people of Israel

00:37:18.599 --> 00:37:19.460
 that by the name

00:37:19.460 --> 00:37:20.960
 of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,

00:37:21.340 --> 00:37:22.320
 whom you crucified,

00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:23.700
 whom God raised

00:37:23.700 --> 00:37:24.420
 from the dead,

00:37:24.539 --> 00:37:25.740
 by him this man

00:37:25.740 --> 00:37:27.039
 is standing before you well.

00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:29.539
 This Jesus is the stone

00:37:29.539 --> 00:37:32.300
 that was rejected by you,

00:37:32.380 --> 00:37:32.760
 the builders,

00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:33.880
 which has become

00:37:33.880 --> 00:37:34.639
 the cornerstone.

00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:36.019
 And there is salvation

00:37:36.019 --> 00:37:37.320
 in no one else,

00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:39.320
 for there is no other name

00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:39.980
 under heaven

00:37:39.980 --> 00:37:40.760
 given among men

00:37:40.760 --> 00:37:41.940
 by which we must be saved.

00:37:41.940 --> 00:37:44.500
 It's by the name

00:37:44.500 --> 00:37:45.720
 of Jesus Christ,

00:37:45.820 --> 00:37:47.700
 whom these rulers crucified,

00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:48.760
 that God raised,

00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:49.960
 that this lame man

00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:51.380
 is standing healed.

00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:53.700
 Yes, that same Jesus

00:37:53.700 --> 00:37:55.340
 whom you crucified weeks ago,

00:37:55.760 --> 00:37:56.559
 unbeknownst to you,

00:37:56.639 --> 00:37:58.039
 God is raised from the dead,

00:37:58.099 --> 00:37:59.039
 and it is by him

00:37:59.039 --> 00:38:00.400
 that this lame man

00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:01.460
 has now been made well.

00:38:04.019 --> 00:38:05.079
 And quoting that verse

00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:05.880
 from Psalm 118,

00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:06.800
 Peter argues that

00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:07.539
 the Jewish leaders

00:38:07.539 --> 00:38:08.320
 are the builders.

00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:10.280
 They discarded Jesus

00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:11.860
 as a worthless stone,

00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:13.620
 unfit for use

00:38:13.620 --> 00:38:14.760
 in their building project,

00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:16.200
 in God's building project.

00:38:16.620 --> 00:38:18.140
 But God has made Jesus

00:38:18.140 --> 00:38:19.300
 to be the cornerstone,

00:38:20.200 --> 00:38:21.880
 which is the foundation stone,

00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:23.100
 and that sets the corner,

00:38:23.200 --> 00:38:23.580
 that's where

00:38:23.580 --> 00:38:24.559
 the construction begins.

00:38:24.680 --> 00:38:25.960
 It sets the site,

00:38:26.080 --> 00:38:26.600
 the location,

00:38:26.760 --> 00:38:27.539
 and the direction

00:38:27.539 --> 00:38:28.800
 of the building.

00:38:29.680 --> 00:38:31.160
 The most important stone

00:38:31.160 --> 00:38:32.580
 in the entire project.

00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:34.480
 So then there has been

00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:35.360
 a great reversal.

00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:36.880
 The revered and esteemed

00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:37.640
 Jewish leaders

00:38:37.640 --> 00:38:39.820
 who cast Jesus aside

00:38:39.820 --> 00:38:40.900
 and humiliated him

00:38:40.900 --> 00:38:41.740
 and branded him

00:38:41.740 --> 00:38:42.860
 as a rejected stone

00:38:42.860 --> 00:38:44.360
 and killed him,

00:38:44.940 --> 00:38:46.320
 God himself has raised

00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:47.000
 and exalted

00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:47.760
 and made him

00:38:47.760 --> 00:38:48.420
 the cornerstone

00:38:48.420 --> 00:38:49.599
 of a new spiritual temple,

00:38:50.300 --> 00:38:51.099
 the Church of God.

00:38:52.420 --> 00:38:53.300
 So in effect,

00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:54.860
 Peter is conceding here,

00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:57.039
 yes, we do not heal

00:38:57.039 --> 00:38:58.180
 and teach by the name

00:38:58.180 --> 00:38:58.920
 of Annas,

00:38:59.500 --> 00:39:00.480
 or Caiaphas,

00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:01.539
 or John,

00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:02.880
 or Alexander,

00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:03.920
 but we heal

00:39:03.920 --> 00:39:05.320
 and preach by the name

00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:05.860
 and power

00:39:05.860 --> 00:39:06.539
 and authority

00:39:06.539 --> 00:39:08.019
 of the risen Lord,

00:39:08.140 --> 00:39:09.039
 Jesus Christ.

00:39:10.680 --> 00:39:11.340
 In fact,

00:39:11.400 --> 00:39:12.960
 we have no other option.

00:39:13.539 --> 00:39:14.200
 There is salvation

00:39:14.200 --> 00:39:15.440
 in no one else.

00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:16.960
 There is no other name

00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:17.420
 under heaven

00:39:17.420 --> 00:39:18.260
 given to man

00:39:18.260 --> 00:39:19.640
 by which we must be saved.

00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:21.539
 Notice how emphatic

00:39:21.539 --> 00:39:22.019
 that is.

00:39:22.099 --> 00:39:22.900
 No one else.

00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:24.120
 No other name.

00:39:24.680 --> 00:39:26.740
 Salvation is in Him,

00:39:26.900 --> 00:39:27.240
 Jesus.

00:39:27.559 --> 00:39:28.740
 Jesus is the location

00:39:28.740 --> 00:39:30.420
 where salvation is found.

00:39:30.500 --> 00:39:31.079
 You can find it

00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:31.840
 nowhere else.

00:39:32.500 --> 00:39:34.160
 Salvation is by Him.

00:39:34.159 --> 00:39:35.500
 He is the agent

00:39:35.500 --> 00:39:37.179
 who saves us.

00:39:38.179 --> 00:39:39.179
 No one else

00:39:39.179 --> 00:39:40.159
 can save us.

00:39:41.980 --> 00:39:43.199
 Psalm 146,

00:39:43.259 --> 00:39:43.839
 verse 3 says,

00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:44.899
 Put not your trust

00:39:44.899 --> 00:39:45.679
 in princes.

00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:47.239
 Put not your trust

00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:47.799
 in rulers,

00:39:48.239 --> 00:39:48.940
 in a Son of Man

00:39:48.940 --> 00:39:49.539
 in whom there is

00:39:49.539 --> 00:39:50.579
 no salvation.

00:39:52.279 --> 00:39:53.099
 But Jesus is

00:39:53.099 --> 00:39:53.980
 the Son of God

00:39:53.980 --> 00:39:54.739
 and Son of Man

00:39:54.739 --> 00:39:55.819
 in whom there is salvation.

00:39:58.259 --> 00:39:59.159
 Peter's declaration

00:39:59.159 --> 00:39:59.879
 can't be more

00:39:59.879 --> 00:40:00.440
 straightforward.

00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:00.619
 Lord,

00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:01.960
 Annas,

00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:03.039
 Caiaphas,

00:40:03.159 --> 00:40:03.460
 John,

00:40:03.559 --> 00:40:04.099
 Alexander,

00:40:04.460 --> 00:40:04.920
 you members

00:40:04.920 --> 00:40:05.780
 of the high priestly

00:40:05.780 --> 00:40:06.280
 family,

00:40:06.679 --> 00:40:07.740
 the rulers of Israel,

00:40:08.059 --> 00:40:09.460
 you cannot save anyone.

00:40:11.800 --> 00:40:12.940
 You do not offer

00:40:12.940 --> 00:40:13.800
 the way of salvation.

00:40:14.860 --> 00:40:15.579
 We can be saved

00:40:15.579 --> 00:40:16.940
 only by one person

00:40:16.940 --> 00:40:18.039
 and His name is Jesus.

00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:20.619
 You too must repent

00:40:20.619 --> 00:40:21.599
 and believe in Him

00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:22.519
 for the forgiveness

00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:23.240
 of your sins.

00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:26.559
 So in chapter 3,

00:40:26.839 --> 00:40:27.759
 we saw that Jesus

00:40:27.759 --> 00:40:28.579
 is greater than

00:40:28.579 --> 00:40:29.339
 all other prophets

00:40:29.339 --> 00:40:30.939
 and here in chapter 4

00:40:30.939 --> 00:40:31.699
 we see that Jesus

00:40:31.699 --> 00:40:32.299
 is greater than

00:40:32.299 --> 00:40:33.519
 all other priests too.

00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:35.979
 No one can

00:40:35.979 --> 00:40:37.019
 for sin atone

00:40:37.019 --> 00:40:37.719
 but Jesus,

00:40:38.059 --> 00:40:38.639
 the rejected

00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:39.779
 cornerstone.

00:40:41.239 --> 00:40:42.500
 There is no prophet

00:40:42.500 --> 00:40:43.259
 who can reveal

00:40:43.259 --> 00:40:44.000
 God's word

00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:44.839
 like Jesus.

00:40:45.259 --> 00:40:46.079
 There is no priest

00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:46.679
 who can make

00:40:46.679 --> 00:40:47.639
 a once and for all

00:40:47.639 --> 00:40:48.259
 sacrifice

00:40:48.259 --> 00:40:49.279
 like Jesus.

00:40:49.579 --> 00:40:50.539
 There is no prophet

00:40:50.539 --> 00:40:51.399
 who can represent

00:40:51.399 --> 00:40:52.619
 God to us

00:40:52.619 --> 00:40:53.159
 like Jesus

00:40:53.159 --> 00:40:54.139
 and there is no priest

00:40:54.139 --> 00:40:55.420
 who can represent us

00:40:55.420 --> 00:40:56.139
 to God

00:40:56.139 --> 00:40:56.799
 like Jesus.

00:40:57.319 --> 00:40:58.239
 This world is full

00:40:58.239 --> 00:40:58.699
 of prophets

00:40:58.699 --> 00:40:59.259
 and priests.

00:41:01.019 --> 00:41:02.139
 Some explicitly

00:41:02.139 --> 00:41:02.679
 religious

00:41:02.679 --> 00:41:03.980
 and some not

00:41:03.980 --> 00:41:05.319
 who tell you

00:41:05.319 --> 00:41:06.279
 how you should live.

00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:08.839
 Who tell you

00:41:08.839 --> 00:41:09.759
 what salvation

00:41:09.759 --> 00:41:10.839
 for yourself

00:41:10.839 --> 00:41:12.139
 and for our society

00:41:12.139 --> 00:41:12.960
 should look like.

00:41:14.179 --> 00:41:15.079
 Some try to

00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:16.099
 sell to you

00:41:16.099 --> 00:41:17.739
 and sell to you

00:41:17.739 --> 00:41:18.219
 a vision

00:41:18.219 --> 00:41:19.139
 of the better you.

00:41:19.960 --> 00:41:20.900
 The richer,

00:41:21.779 --> 00:41:22.420
 thinner,

00:41:22.619 --> 00:41:23.859
 prettier,

00:41:24.799 --> 00:41:25.279
 healthier,

00:41:25.619 --> 00:41:26.440
 more comfortable,

00:41:27.099 --> 00:41:27.839
 better traveled,

00:41:28.199 --> 00:41:28.859
 more chiseled,

00:41:29.099 --> 00:41:29.880
 more mindful,

00:41:30.359 --> 00:41:31.239
 more activist,

00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:32.759
 more admired you.

00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:37.539
 But the prophet

00:41:37.539 --> 00:41:38.019
 and priest

00:41:38.019 --> 00:41:38.839
 you should turn to

00:41:38.839 --> 00:41:39.819
 is not the people

00:41:39.819 --> 00:41:40.920
 on the Times 100

00:41:40.920 --> 00:41:42.380
 most influential people.

00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:46.139
 It's not your favorite

00:41:46.139 --> 00:41:47.579
 social media influencer

00:41:47.579 --> 00:41:49.219
 or your favorite

00:41:49.219 --> 00:41:50.159
 media pundit.

00:41:51.619 --> 00:41:52.539
 It's not

00:41:52.539 --> 00:41:53.940
 the political rulers.

00:41:55.019 --> 00:41:55.940
 It's not

00:41:55.940 --> 00:41:56.860
 your life coach

00:41:56.860 --> 00:41:57.599
 or psychiatrist.

00:41:58.480 --> 00:41:59.279
 It's not

00:41:59.279 --> 00:41:59.819
 your husband

00:41:59.819 --> 00:42:00.940
 or your wife.

00:42:01.539 --> 00:42:02.219
 It's not

00:42:02.219 --> 00:42:03.099
 your best friend.

00:42:03.960 --> 00:42:05.159
 It's not Mohammed.

00:42:05.279 --> 00:42:05.940
 It's not Buddha.

00:42:06.059 --> 00:42:06.739
 It's not Gandhi.

00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:08.059
 It's not Confucius.

00:42:09.059 --> 00:42:09.900
 There's salvation

00:42:09.900 --> 00:42:11.259
 in no one else

00:42:11.259 --> 00:42:12.759
 for there's no other name

00:42:12.759 --> 00:42:13.539
 under heaven

00:42:13.539 --> 00:42:14.699
 given among men

00:42:14.699 --> 00:42:16.319
 by which we must

00:42:16.319 --> 00:42:17.399
 be saved.

00:42:23.619 --> 00:42:24.480
 Those voices

00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:25.359
 are so tempting,

00:42:26.039 --> 00:42:28.339
 so alluring at times.

00:42:29.719 --> 00:42:31.179
 But we must be reminded

00:42:31.179 --> 00:42:32.339
 every single day

00:42:32.339 --> 00:42:33.859
 there is no other name

00:42:33.859 --> 00:42:35.139
 by which we must be saved.

00:42:35.799 --> 00:42:37.000
 There's no other name

00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:37.399
 that you should be

00:42:37.399 --> 00:42:38.439
 paying more attention to,

00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:39.579
 no other word

00:42:39.579 --> 00:42:40.239
 you should be paying

00:42:40.239 --> 00:42:41.159
 more attention to,

00:42:41.379 --> 00:42:42.519
 no other relationship

00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:43.019
 that you should be

00:42:43.019 --> 00:42:44.159
 more attentive to,

00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:46.699
 no one else

00:42:46.699 --> 00:42:47.059
 you should be

00:42:47.059 --> 00:42:48.239
 more knowledgeable about,

00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:50.960
 no one you should

00:42:50.960 --> 00:42:51.659
 love more

00:42:51.659 --> 00:42:54.000
 than Jesus Christ.

00:42:58.960 --> 00:43:00.500
 No matter how hard

00:43:00.500 --> 00:43:01.000
 and long

00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:03.400
 this life

00:43:03.400 --> 00:43:04.820
 is a momentary blip

00:43:04.820 --> 00:43:05.539
 compared to the

00:43:05.539 --> 00:43:06.980
 eternity that awaits us

00:43:06.980 --> 00:43:08.659
 and only Jesus

00:43:08.659 --> 00:43:09.460
 offers

00:43:09.460 --> 00:43:10.940
 the eternal salvation

00:43:10.940 --> 00:43:11.599
 we need.

00:43:12.519 --> 00:43:15.719
 all the pain

00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:16.440
 and brokenness

00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:17.239
 we experience

00:43:17.239 --> 00:43:17.920
 in this life

00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:19.000
 are symptoms

00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:19.840
 of the disease

00:43:19.840 --> 00:43:20.320
 of sin

00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:21.239
 and the resulting

00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:22.259
 alienation,

00:43:22.460 --> 00:43:23.579
 separation from God

00:43:23.579 --> 00:43:24.719
 and if you want

00:43:24.719 --> 00:43:25.539
 your sins

00:43:25.539 --> 00:43:26.679
 to be blotted out,

00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:28.900
 gone,

00:43:29.759 --> 00:43:30.219
 if you want to be

00:43:30.219 --> 00:43:31.519
 reconciled to God

00:43:31.519 --> 00:43:32.579
 to live eternally

00:43:32.579 --> 00:43:34.039
 under His favor

00:43:34.039 --> 00:43:34.960
 and not under

00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:35.460
 His wrath

00:43:35.460 --> 00:43:35.940
 and judgment,

00:43:36.940 --> 00:43:38.800
 you must repent

00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:41.460
 and turn to Jesus

00:43:41.460 --> 00:43:42.659
 who alone

00:43:42.659 --> 00:43:43.400
 can save us.

00:43:46.780 --> 00:43:47.780
 Let's pray together.

00:43:47.780 --> 00:43:47.840
 Let's pray together.

00:43:47.840 --> 00:44:01.200
 O God,

00:44:01.720 --> 00:44:05.680
 we ask for your help

00:44:05.680 --> 00:44:10.180
 because we know

00:44:10.180 --> 00:44:10.760
 that our hearts

00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:11.360
 are so prone

00:44:11.360 --> 00:44:11.940
 to wonder

00:44:11.940 --> 00:44:19.539
 God,

00:44:19.619 --> 00:44:20.420
 we ask you,

00:44:20.519 --> 00:44:21.360
 we beg of you,

00:44:22.599 --> 00:44:23.539
 make the name

00:44:23.539 --> 00:44:24.420
 of Jesus,

00:44:25.240 --> 00:44:26.639
 make the power

00:44:26.639 --> 00:44:27.240
 of Jesus,

00:44:27.420 --> 00:44:28.260
 make the authority

00:44:28.260 --> 00:44:29.300
 of Jesus,

00:44:29.440 --> 00:44:30.059
 make the love

00:44:30.059 --> 00:44:30.880
 of Jesus

00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:32.460
 more real

00:44:32.460 --> 00:44:33.139
 to us

00:44:33.139 --> 00:44:34.400
 than any other

00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:35.860
 voice,

00:44:36.099 --> 00:44:36.559
 any other

00:44:36.559 --> 00:44:37.619
 relationship,

00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:38.300
 any other

00:44:38.300 --> 00:44:39.159
 person.

00:44:39.159 --> 00:44:47.339
 that we might

00:44:47.339 --> 00:44:47.899
 hold fast

00:44:47.899 --> 00:44:48.299
 to Him,

00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:52.879
 that we might

00:44:52.879 --> 00:44:54.219
 bear witness

00:44:54.219 --> 00:44:54.739
 to Him,

00:44:56.219 --> 00:44:58.559
 that we might

00:44:58.559 --> 00:44:59.759
 glorify Him

00:44:59.759 --> 00:45:03.920
 with every breath

00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:04.619
 you give us.

00:45:04.619 --> 00:45:14.859
 in the holy

00:45:14.859 --> 00:45:16.619
 and authoritative

00:45:16.619 --> 00:45:17.519
 name of Jesus,

00:45:18.019 --> 00:45:18.779
 we pray.

00:45:19.719 --> 00:45:20.319
 Amen.

00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:21.320
 Amen.
