00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.759
 As for you, how do you feel when you hear that?

00:00:08.859 --> 00:00:13.380
 Well, as for you, that's how this starts.

00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:18.400
 Well, in fact, the Greek literally just says, and you,

00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:21.280
 but it starts a sentence with that.

00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:26.719
 So you can see how that translation, in order to convey it,

00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:28.580
 is there, as for you.

00:00:29.339 --> 00:00:31.839
 See, the thing is, is when you hear, as for you,

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:33.560
 you sit up and pay attention.

00:00:34.100 --> 00:00:37.519
 Usually, it's a sign that good news is not forthcoming,

00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:39.239
 that you're in trouble.

00:00:39.820 --> 00:00:42.539
 I kind of think of, as for you, you're fired.

00:00:44.239 --> 00:00:45.459
 But it might not be.

00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:47.980
 It could be something else.

00:00:50.140 --> 00:00:51.859
 It could be something really positive.

00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:54.439
 And in fact, it is something really positive here.

00:00:54.439 --> 00:01:00.140
 But the point is, in order to understand the context of what, as for you, is about,

00:01:01.519 --> 00:01:08.519
 you've got to know what it is that comes immediately beforehand that you is being contrasted with.

00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:17.579
 So in order to make sense of that, we're going to go back to the words at the end of the preceding chapter of Ephesians 1,

00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.659
 and ask, well, who or what is Paul talking about?

00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:24.599
 Before he says, but as for you, this is what he says.

00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:27.819
 He talks about Christ.

00:01:27.819 --> 00:01:53.560
 Throughout that whole chapter, Paul builds this picture of the majesty, the power of Christ,

00:01:53.659 --> 00:01:55.539
 what Christ has done for you and me.

00:01:55.540 --> 00:01:59.920
 And then, as for you.

00:02:01.320 --> 00:02:06.660
 In other words, everything that Paul says is following the implications of everything that Jesus has done.

00:02:08.740 --> 00:02:10.780
 He's saying that that's to be the link.

00:02:10.860 --> 00:02:13.200
 As we try and navigate our way through our lives,

00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:16.360
 it needs to come back to everything that Jesus has done.

00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:20.020
 That amazing gift that he has given to us,

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.460
 it's completely free.

00:02:22.740 --> 00:02:24.040
 But it's not cheap.

00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:29.579
 But we need to remember that the reason it's so important,

00:02:29.739 --> 00:02:30.759
 the reason it matters,

00:02:31.959 --> 00:02:34.680
 is because of Jesus.

00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:36.699
 As for you,

00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:41.879
 it's a pointing back to the one to whom we are connected.

00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:47.120
 So, in verse, perhaps I have the first slide here.

00:02:48.259 --> 00:02:48.780
 Here we go.

00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:49.479
 As for you,

00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.479
 what's the first thing that he says here in chapter 2?

00:02:53.579 --> 00:02:53.879
 Well, he says,

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:54.659
 as for you,

00:02:56.340 --> 00:02:57.219
 you were dead

00:02:57.219 --> 00:02:59.500
 in your transgressions

00:02:59.500 --> 00:03:00.960
 and sins.

00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:03.460
 You were dead.

00:03:03.460 --> 00:03:05.780
 years ago,

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:07.420
 it became quite commonplace

00:03:07.420 --> 00:03:08.939
 to talk about death

00:03:08.939 --> 00:03:11.480
 as a taboo.

00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:13.340
 You don't talk about it.

00:03:13.340 --> 00:03:17.700
 I'm not sure that that's actually the case anymore,

00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:18.379
 but it was,

00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:20.280
 it kind of had its roots

00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:22.980
 in some writing in the 1950s.

00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:24.640
 Somebody called Jeffrey Gora

00:03:24.640 --> 00:03:25.939
 wrote a book called

00:03:25.939 --> 00:03:29.120
 The Pornography of Death.

00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:30.640
 And his basic idea

00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:32.159
 was that by the 1950s,

00:03:32.259 --> 00:03:33.480
 in Britain at least,

00:03:33.980 --> 00:03:37.020
 that you could see a radical contrast

00:03:37.020 --> 00:03:39.719
 between the way in which people

00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:41.740
 would talk about death

00:03:41.740 --> 00:03:42.800
 or not talk about it

00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:43.620
 in contrast

00:03:43.620 --> 00:03:46.200
 with the theme of sex.

00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:47.319
 And he said that for,

00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:48.900
 in Victorian culture,

00:03:49.640 --> 00:03:52.560
 the whole theme of sex

00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.759
 was repressed.

00:03:55.040 --> 00:03:56.500
 But they did public mourning

00:03:56.500 --> 00:03:57.259
 very openly.

00:03:57.580 --> 00:03:57.719
 You know,

00:03:57.759 --> 00:03:58.520
 when somebody died,

00:03:58.520 --> 00:03:58.980
 people would,

00:03:59.280 --> 00:03:59.960
 would,

00:03:59.960 --> 00:04:00.260
 would,

00:04:00.260 --> 00:04:01.340
 would dress in black

00:04:01.340 --> 00:04:02.600
 and there was all these kind of

00:04:02.600 --> 00:04:04.620
 cultural norms

00:04:04.620 --> 00:04:04.880
 of,

00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:06.400
 of public mourning.

00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:08.520
 And he said that by the sort of

00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:10.060
 middle of the 20th century,

00:04:10.160 --> 00:04:11.080
 that had reversed.

00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:11.920
 And,

00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:14.040
 and actually people talk quite openly

00:04:14.040 --> 00:04:15.219
 about sex.

00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:16.120
 It was really,

00:04:16.460 --> 00:04:16.780
 you know,

00:04:16.840 --> 00:04:17.740
 it was sort of emerging,

00:04:17.819 --> 00:04:18.860
 it was very much in your face.

00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:19.280
 But,

00:04:19.340 --> 00:04:20.240
 but death was something

00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:20.960
 that was tabooed.

00:04:20.980 --> 00:04:21.699
 We don't go there.

00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:25.000
 About 20 years later

00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:26.480
 in the 1970s,

00:04:26.840 --> 00:04:27.740
 and as Becker wrote

00:04:27.740 --> 00:04:28.420
 a book called

00:04:28.420 --> 00:04:29.939
 The Denial of Death.

00:04:30.520 --> 00:04:31.300
 And it pretty much

00:04:31.300 --> 00:04:32.480
 became accepted

00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:32.780
 that,

00:04:32.840 --> 00:04:33.960
 that that's kind of,

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:34.480
 you know,

00:04:34.540 --> 00:04:36.500
 a hallmark of Western,

00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:37.920
 certainly British culture,

00:04:38.020 --> 00:04:38.860
 that death is something

00:04:38.860 --> 00:04:39.540
 that is taboo,

00:04:39.620 --> 00:04:40.199
 that we deny it,

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:41.319
 we don't want to talk about it,

00:04:41.379 --> 00:04:41.920
 we sort of,

00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:43.740
 we try and keep it out of,

00:04:43.740 --> 00:04:44.240
 of,

00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:44.560
 of,

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.040
 of everyday life.

00:04:46.280 --> 00:04:47.220
 It's marginalised.

00:04:47.860 --> 00:04:48.180
 But you know,

00:04:48.220 --> 00:04:49.520
 I don't think that's true.

00:04:49.520 --> 00:04:50.520
 If it was true then,

00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:51.879
 I don't think it is true now,

00:04:51.939 --> 00:04:53.480
 that over the last 50 years,

00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:55.580
 that has changed enormously.

00:04:57.500 --> 00:04:59.000
 It was as long ago

00:04:59.000 --> 00:04:59.939
 as 2007

00:04:59.939 --> 00:05:01.620
 that one particular study

00:05:01.620 --> 00:05:04.020
 spoke so much about

00:05:04.020 --> 00:05:04.920
 the amount of death

00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:06.379
 that is presented

00:05:06.379 --> 00:05:07.020
 in the media

00:05:07.020 --> 00:05:07.560
 that,

00:05:07.640 --> 00:05:09.720
 that by the age of 18,

00:05:09.819 --> 00:05:10.920
 the average child

00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:12.480
 would have seen

00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:13.620
 no fewer than

00:05:13.620 --> 00:05:15.200
 40,000 deaths

00:05:15.200 --> 00:05:16.080
 on the screen.

00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:18.900
 Now that was back in 2007,

00:05:18.899 --> 00:05:20.599
 and I don't think that

00:05:20.599 --> 00:05:22.579
 it has actually got any less,

00:05:22.659 --> 00:05:22.959
 if anything,

00:05:23.019 --> 00:05:24.139
 it's got much more.

00:05:24.500 --> 00:05:25.500
 And that was,

00:05:25.659 --> 00:05:26.539
 when talking about the screen,

00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:27.379
 that was a reference

00:05:27.379 --> 00:05:28.199
 to television.

00:05:28.419 --> 00:05:28.560
 Well,

00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:29.439
 actually,

00:05:30.019 --> 00:05:30.939
 we don't watch it,

00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:32.339
 most of our media these days

00:05:32.339 --> 00:05:33.739
 isn't through terrestrial TV,

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:34.299
 it's,

00:05:34.299 --> 00:05:35.620
 it's online,

00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:36.719
 and I don't think

00:05:36.719 --> 00:05:37.879
 there is any less

00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:39.919
 by way of images

00:05:39.919 --> 00:05:40.579
 of,

00:05:40.620 --> 00:05:41.299
 of violence

00:05:41.299 --> 00:05:41.959
 and death

00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:42.439
 now.

00:05:44.179 --> 00:05:45.000
 But also,

00:05:45.159 --> 00:05:45.639
 when we look at

00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:46.819
 wider society,

00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:47.839
 we can see how things

00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:48.319
 have changed.

00:05:48.899 --> 00:05:50.739
 Rewind back to 1997

00:05:50.739 --> 00:05:52.259
 and think of

00:05:52.259 --> 00:05:53.259
 the,

00:05:53.259 --> 00:05:53.419
 the,

00:05:53.419 --> 00:05:53.919
 the,

00:05:53.919 --> 00:05:55.539
 the cultural phenomenon

00:05:55.539 --> 00:05:56.719
 after the death

00:05:56.719 --> 00:05:57.979
 of Princess Diana

00:05:57.979 --> 00:05:58.939
 and the way

00:05:58.939 --> 00:05:59.599
 in which,

00:06:00.019 --> 00:06:01.219
 as a nation,

00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:03.599
 we went into

00:06:03.599 --> 00:06:04.579
 a time of mourning.

00:06:05.179 --> 00:06:06.500
 And think of

00:06:06.500 --> 00:06:07.699
 the Queen's funeral

00:06:07.699 --> 00:06:08.679
 the other year.

00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:10.419
 And all of those people

00:06:10.419 --> 00:06:10.839
 sort of,

00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:12.060
 queuing up

00:06:12.060 --> 00:06:12.719
 for,

00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:13.739
 for days

00:06:13.739 --> 00:06:15.219
 to file past

00:06:15.219 --> 00:06:16.739
 the Queen's coffin.

00:06:16.740 --> 00:06:17.740
 think of it.

00:06:19.379 --> 00:06:20.439
 Think how

00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:21.720
 today

00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:22.780
 there,

00:06:23.420 --> 00:06:23.500
 the,

00:06:23.500 --> 00:06:24.720
 the public expressions

00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:25.620
 of grief and mourning

00:06:25.620 --> 00:06:27.060
 has become very commonplace

00:06:27.060 --> 00:06:28.240
 every time there is a,

00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:29.319
 a big scale

00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:31.259
 tragic event.

00:06:32.259 --> 00:06:33.379
 Think of the amount

00:06:33.379 --> 00:06:35.180
 of roadside memorials

00:06:35.180 --> 00:06:36.379
 and benches,

00:06:36.460 --> 00:06:36.780
 for example,

00:06:36.819 --> 00:06:37.800
 that we see now

00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:38.900
 where grief

00:06:38.900 --> 00:06:39.540
 is

00:06:39.540 --> 00:06:41.180
 very openly

00:06:41.180 --> 00:06:43.819
 expressed.

00:06:43.819 --> 00:06:46.639
 so I'm not convinced

00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:48.199
 that it's quite accurate

00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:48.920
 even though people

00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:49.860
 will still talk about

00:06:49.860 --> 00:06:50.599
 death as the last

00:06:50.599 --> 00:06:50.800
 debut,

00:06:51.019 --> 00:06:51.819
 I'm not convinced

00:06:51.819 --> 00:06:52.459
 that that's actually

00:06:52.459 --> 00:06:53.060
 the case.

00:06:54.599 --> 00:06:55.579
 What is the case

00:06:55.579 --> 00:06:55.800
 is,

00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:56.060
 is,

00:06:56.139 --> 00:06:57.040
 is how we

00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:57.759
 handle

00:06:57.759 --> 00:06:59.319
 the theme of death.

00:07:00.100 --> 00:07:00.939
 And I would suggest

00:07:00.939 --> 00:07:01.659
 that for many

00:07:01.659 --> 00:07:02.779
 there is a sense

00:07:02.779 --> 00:07:03.279
 of denial

00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:04.079
 in so far

00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:04.839
 as that it will be

00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:05.860
 pushed to one side

00:07:05.860 --> 00:07:06.779
 because it's something

00:07:06.779 --> 00:07:07.600
 that we would actually

00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:08.139
 rather,

00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:09.539
 rather not really

00:07:09.539 --> 00:07:10.560
 think too long

00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:11.420
 and hard about

00:07:11.420 --> 00:07:12.219
 because it perhaps

00:07:12.219 --> 00:07:13.000
 seems morbid,

00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:13.980
 perhaps it just feels

00:07:13.980 --> 00:07:14.220
 that,

00:07:14.339 --> 00:07:14.439
 well,

00:07:14.500 --> 00:07:15.519
 what is there to say?

00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:18.360
 But the point here,

00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:18.800
 Paul,

00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:19.560
 is that saying

00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:19.899
 that,

00:07:19.899 --> 00:07:20.199
 yeah,

00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:22.199
 death is something

00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:23.259
 that must be faced

00:07:23.259 --> 00:07:24.660
 but here's the point,

00:07:25.779 --> 00:07:27.319
 it's not something

00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:28.480
 that lies ahead of you.

00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:30.600
 It is a reality

00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.579
 but it's in the past tense.

00:07:35.139 --> 00:07:36.259
 As for you,

00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:36.959
 he says,

00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:40.079
 he doesn't say

00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:41.139
 you're going to die

00:07:41.139 --> 00:07:43.240
 or that we're dying

00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.759
 or always be ready

00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:46.500
 for when you die.

00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:46.860
 No,

00:07:46.919 --> 00:07:47.259
 he says,

00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:48.500
 as for you,

00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:49.800
 you were dead.

00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:52.419
 That is to be

00:07:52.419 --> 00:07:53.180
 the mindset

00:07:53.180 --> 00:07:54.579
 of the Christian believer.

00:07:55.259 --> 00:07:56.699
 If you follow Jesus,

00:07:56.919 --> 00:07:57.979
 you follow Jesus

00:07:57.979 --> 00:07:58.759
 who has been

00:07:58.759 --> 00:07:59.879
 through death already.

00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:02.159
 He is alive

00:08:02.159 --> 00:08:04.560
 and with his own death

00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:06.120
 so you have died

00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:08.479
 and raised with him.

00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:11.240
 death is to be seen

00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:12.160
 as a reality

00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:12.980
 that we need

00:08:12.980 --> 00:08:13.800
 to be deeply,

00:08:13.939 --> 00:08:14.780
 deeply aware of

00:08:14.780 --> 00:08:16.460
 but as a past reality.

00:08:16.980 --> 00:08:17.500
 It's gone.

00:08:18.259 --> 00:08:19.319
 That's how you walk

00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:20.520
 when you follow Jesus.

00:08:22.140 --> 00:08:23.180
 Death is relegated

00:08:23.180 --> 00:08:24.759
 not to the front

00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:25.500
 but to the back.

00:08:25.860 --> 00:08:26.759
 It's behind you.

00:08:27.100 --> 00:08:28.000
 It is in the past.

00:08:31.700 --> 00:08:33.039
 And so he goes on.

00:08:33.700 --> 00:08:34.460
 Paul says

00:08:34.460 --> 00:08:38.379
 as it carries on.

00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:39.280
 Next slide, please.

00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:40.639
 And God

00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:42.200
 raised us up

00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:44.060
 with Christ

00:08:44.060 --> 00:08:46.100
 and seated us

00:08:46.100 --> 00:08:46.840
 with him

00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:48.740
 in the heavenly realms

00:08:48.740 --> 00:08:50.360
 in Christ Jesus.

00:08:51.580 --> 00:08:51.980
 You see,

00:08:52.060 --> 00:08:52.519
 this is where

00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:53.280
 it becomes

00:08:53.280 --> 00:08:54.200
 identity.

00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:56.019
 The reason why

00:08:56.019 --> 00:08:57.019
 when you put death

00:08:57.019 --> 00:08:58.019
 behind you

00:08:58.019 --> 00:08:59.400
 rather than ahead of you,

00:08:59.940 --> 00:09:02.120
 that becomes

00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:02.860
 your identity.

00:09:02.860 --> 00:09:02.980
 identity,

00:09:03.300 --> 00:09:04.759
 you are in Christ.

00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:09.480
 We live in a culture

00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:09.980
 that has just

00:09:09.980 --> 00:09:11.139
 gone mad

00:09:11.139 --> 00:09:12.460
 over identity politics

00:09:12.460 --> 00:09:13.759
 where all sorts

00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:14.259
 of different things

00:09:14.259 --> 00:09:14.960
 can identify

00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:15.980
 who you are.

00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:17.200
 But you know,

00:09:17.220 --> 00:09:17.360
 I think

00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:18.860
 it is a truism

00:09:18.860 --> 00:09:19.899
 that very often

00:09:19.899 --> 00:09:20.820
 we would try,

00:09:20.980 --> 00:09:22.039
 we would end up

00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:23.100
 defining ourselves

00:09:23.100 --> 00:09:24.080
 almost by the things

00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:24.720
 that we do.

00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:26.360
 I mean,

00:09:26.419 --> 00:09:27.300
 how do you define

00:09:27.300 --> 00:09:28.000
 who you are?

00:09:29.920 --> 00:09:30.800
 So I have to talk about

00:09:30.800 --> 00:09:31.360
 who are you

00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:31.920
 as a person.

00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:33.019
 I'm guessing

00:09:33.019 --> 00:09:33.699
 instinctively

00:09:33.699 --> 00:09:34.439
 our thoughts

00:09:34.439 --> 00:09:34.899
 immediately

00:09:34.899 --> 00:09:36.079
 go to the things

00:09:36.079 --> 00:09:36.639
 that we've done

00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:37.079
 or the things

00:09:37.079 --> 00:09:37.659
 that we do.

00:09:39.099 --> 00:09:39.919
 We might think

00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:40.620
 of our achievements,

00:09:40.839 --> 00:09:41.179
 we might think

00:09:41.179 --> 00:09:42.319
 of our non-achievements.

00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:45.379
 It's a dangerous

00:09:45.379 --> 00:09:45.959
 thing though

00:09:45.959 --> 00:09:46.539
 when we think

00:09:46.539 --> 00:09:47.199
 that way.

00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:49.219
 It could be

00:09:49.219 --> 00:09:49.939
 so misleading.

00:09:50.539 --> 00:09:50.959
 This is why

00:09:50.959 --> 00:09:52.599
 when suddenly

00:09:52.599 --> 00:09:53.219
 we can't do

00:09:53.219 --> 00:09:53.659
 those things

00:09:53.659 --> 00:09:54.379
 that we once

00:09:54.379 --> 00:09:54.819
 could,

00:09:55.699 --> 00:09:56.099
 maybe through

00:09:56.099 --> 00:09:56.639
 ill health

00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:57.059
 or whatever

00:09:57.059 --> 00:09:57.879
 it may be,

00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:00.919
 then our identity

00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:01.639
 can feel

00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:02.319
 like it's going.

00:10:04.699 --> 00:10:05.359
 The good news

00:10:05.359 --> 00:10:05.679
 is that

00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:07.599
 as a Christian

00:10:07.599 --> 00:10:08.659
 your identity

00:10:08.659 --> 00:10:09.439
 does not lie

00:10:09.439 --> 00:10:10.500
 in what you do.

00:10:12.439 --> 00:10:12.759
 There was

00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:14.539
 an artist

00:10:14.539 --> 00:10:14.839
 called

00:10:14.839 --> 00:10:16.639
 Paul Gustav Dor.

00:10:16.699 --> 00:10:16.939
 He lived

00:10:16.939 --> 00:10:18.039
 from 1832

00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:19.119
 to 1883.

00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:20.519
 He was travelling

00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:21.079
 Europe

00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:22.460
 and he was

00:10:22.460 --> 00:10:23.000
 at a border

00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:24.220
 and wanted

00:10:24.220 --> 00:10:24.720
 to cross

00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:25.620
 and he couldn't

00:10:25.620 --> 00:10:26.560
 find his passport

00:10:26.560 --> 00:10:27.320
 as documentation

00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:28.259
 that he needed

00:10:28.259 --> 00:10:28.820
 to prove

00:10:28.820 --> 00:10:29.600
 who he was.

00:10:30.560 --> 00:10:31.400
 So the officer

00:10:31.400 --> 00:10:32.100
 standing at

00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:33.120
 the border control

00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.520
 told him

00:10:36.520 --> 00:10:37.120
 who he was

00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:37.940
 and he recognised

00:10:37.940 --> 00:10:38.379
 the name

00:10:38.379 --> 00:10:39.040
 as this famous

00:10:39.040 --> 00:10:39.620
 artist.

00:10:40.139 --> 00:10:40.360
 He said,

00:10:40.400 --> 00:10:41.200
 I can't let you

00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:41.740
 through if you

00:10:41.740 --> 00:10:42.560
 haven't got anything

00:10:42.560 --> 00:10:43.440
 to prove

00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:44.300
 who you claim

00:10:44.300 --> 00:10:44.740
 to be.

00:10:45.400 --> 00:10:45.940
 You're telling

00:10:45.940 --> 00:10:47.240
 me that you're

00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:48.600
 Paul Gustav Dor.

00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:50.400
 Here you go.

00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:51.459
 He pulled out

00:10:51.459 --> 00:10:52.779
 a piece of paper

00:10:52.779 --> 00:10:53.379
 and a pencil

00:10:53.379 --> 00:10:54.919
 and he said,

00:10:54.980 --> 00:10:55.679
 if you go over there

00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:56.360
 and draw a picture

00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:57.079
 of those people

00:10:57.079 --> 00:10:57.879
 standing over there

00:10:57.879 --> 00:10:58.639
 and bring it back.

00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:00.279
 He came back

00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:01.319
 a few minutes later

00:11:01.319 --> 00:11:02.639
 with this

00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:04.000
 extraordinary picture

00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:04.819
 and the story

00:11:04.819 --> 00:11:05.220
 goes,

00:11:05.299 --> 00:11:05.939
 and I assume

00:11:05.939 --> 00:11:06.519
 it's true,

00:11:07.299 --> 00:11:07.819
 but the story

00:11:07.819 --> 00:11:08.679
 goes that

00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:10.899
 at border control

00:11:10.899 --> 00:11:12.019
 they took

00:11:12.019 --> 00:11:12.559
 that picture

00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:12.919
 and took it

00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:13.459
 as evidence

00:11:13.459 --> 00:11:14.059
 that this

00:11:14.059 --> 00:11:14.779
 clearly was

00:11:14.779 --> 00:11:15.299
 this guy

00:11:15.299 --> 00:11:16.659
 and they let him

00:11:16.659 --> 00:11:16.899
 through.

00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:19.480
 So identity

00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:20.360
 was proved

00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:21.360
 by what he

00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:21.879
 could do.

00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:24.639
 But Paul

00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:25.180
 says here

00:11:25.180 --> 00:11:25.580
 that our

00:11:25.580 --> 00:11:26.139
 identity

00:11:26.139 --> 00:11:27.519
 is not

00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:28.399
 to be proved

00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:29.340
 by what you

00:11:29.340 --> 00:11:29.680
 do,

00:11:29.820 --> 00:11:30.440
 but by what

00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:31.039
 God does.

00:11:32.180 --> 00:11:33.100
 Your identity,

00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:33.600
 look here,

00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:35.080
 God raised us

00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:36.360
 up with Christ

00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:37.620
 and seated us

00:11:37.620 --> 00:11:38.120
 with him

00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:38.720
 in the heavenly

00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:39.340
 realms in

00:11:39.340 --> 00:11:40.100
 Christ Jesus.

00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:41.300
 Now right now

00:11:41.300 --> 00:11:42.060
 you might not

00:11:42.060 --> 00:11:42.879
 think that your

00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:43.840
 life is one

00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:44.500
 of sitting

00:11:44.500 --> 00:11:45.879
 in the heavenly

00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:46.379
 realms.

00:11:46.379 --> 00:11:46.559
 realms.

00:11:48.659 --> 00:11:49.419
 But Paul

00:11:49.419 --> 00:11:50.100
 says it is.

00:11:51.500 --> 00:11:52.200
 One day

00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:52.980
 that will be

00:11:52.980 --> 00:11:53.720
 a reality

00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:56.000
 that we

00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:56.820
 will all

00:11:56.820 --> 00:11:58.000
 actually see,

00:11:58.299 --> 00:11:58.939
 lay hold of

00:11:58.939 --> 00:11:59.519
 and understand

00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:00.080
 as the kingdom

00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:00.879
 comes in all

00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:01.299
 its fullness.

00:12:01.659 --> 00:12:02.320
 But right now

00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:02.919
 you are to know

00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:03.899
 that you are

00:12:03.899 --> 00:12:05.700
 in Christ

00:12:05.700 --> 00:12:06.740
 who is in

00:12:06.740 --> 00:12:07.139
 the heavenly

00:12:07.139 --> 00:12:07.600
 realms

00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:08.740
 and that you

00:12:08.740 --> 00:12:09.259
 are held

00:12:09.259 --> 00:12:09.759
 in him

00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:10.940
 and that your

00:12:10.940 --> 00:12:11.799
 identity

00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:12.960
 therefore lies

00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:14.480
 in him.

00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:16.000
 I've used

00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:16.960
 this illustration

00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:17.900
 before and it

00:12:17.900 --> 00:12:18.500
 doesn't come

00:12:18.500 --> 00:12:18.820
 from me,

00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:19.180
 it comes from

00:12:19.180 --> 00:12:19.660
 somebody else,

00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:20.320
 but you know,

00:12:20.460 --> 00:12:20.879
 got a piece

00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:21.379
 of paper

00:12:21.379 --> 00:12:22.900
 and imagine

00:12:22.900 --> 00:12:23.220
 the piece

00:12:23.220 --> 00:12:23.700
 of paper

00:12:23.700 --> 00:12:25.440
 is you

00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:26.340
 and this

00:12:26.340 --> 00:12:26.900
 Bible is

00:12:26.900 --> 00:12:27.420
 Christ.

00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:28.500
 When you

00:12:28.500 --> 00:12:29.200
 follow Jesus

00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:29.860
 you are in

00:12:29.860 --> 00:12:30.200
 Christ,

00:12:30.280 --> 00:12:30.560
 the piece

00:12:30.560 --> 00:12:30.960
 of paper

00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:31.759
 goes into

00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:32.340
 that book.

00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:33.000
 Wherever

00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:33.639
 that book

00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:34.320
 goes,

00:12:35.700 --> 00:12:36.220
 you go.

00:12:37.060 --> 00:12:37.400
 You are

00:12:37.400 --> 00:12:38.200
 held in

00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:38.620
 him.

00:12:39.580 --> 00:12:40.019
 We still

00:12:40.019 --> 00:12:40.600
 have to face

00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:41.060
 all the sorts

00:12:41.060 --> 00:12:41.680
 of realities

00:12:41.680 --> 00:12:42.440
 every day

00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:43.000
 of our lives

00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:43.420
 that probably

00:12:43.420 --> 00:12:43.980
 make us feel

00:12:43.980 --> 00:12:44.160
 well,

00:12:44.340 --> 00:12:44.600
 I don't

00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:45.120
 exactly feel

00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:45.440
 like I'm

00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:45.720
 sat in

00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:46.040
 the heavenly

00:12:46.040 --> 00:12:46.420
 realms

00:12:46.420 --> 00:12:46.940
 right now,

00:12:47.780 --> 00:12:48.100
 but that's

00:12:48.100 --> 00:12:48.500
 when we need

00:12:48.500 --> 00:12:48.900
 to remember

00:12:48.900 --> 00:12:49.440
 these words

00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:50.020
 that Paul

00:12:50.020 --> 00:12:50.680
 urges us

00:12:50.680 --> 00:12:51.160
 to remember.

00:12:51.520 --> 00:12:52.220
 Your identity

00:12:52.220 --> 00:12:52.880
 now is

00:12:52.880 --> 00:12:53.260
 different.

00:12:53.620 --> 00:12:53.920
 Death is

00:12:53.920 --> 00:12:54.700
 not in

00:12:54.700 --> 00:12:55.080
 front of

00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:55.180
 you,

00:12:55.260 --> 00:12:55.800
 it's behind

00:12:55.800 --> 00:12:56.120
 you.

00:12:56.400 --> 00:12:56.740
 You are

00:12:56.740 --> 00:12:57.440
 in Christ

00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:57.820
 who is

00:12:57.820 --> 00:12:58.160
 in the

00:12:58.160 --> 00:12:58.460
 heavenly

00:12:58.460 --> 00:12:58.760
 realms

00:12:58.760 --> 00:12:59.180
 who one

00:12:59.180 --> 00:12:59.520
 day will

00:12:59.520 --> 00:13:00.000
 return.

00:13:00.540 --> 00:13:00.740
 This

00:13:00.740 --> 00:13:01.420
 means

00:13:01.420 --> 00:13:02.160
 that your

00:13:02.160 --> 00:13:02.700
 identity

00:13:02.700 --> 00:13:03.560
 is defined

00:13:03.560 --> 00:13:04.540
 by nothing

00:13:04.540 --> 00:13:04.940
 else

00:13:04.940 --> 00:13:05.560
 and by

00:13:05.560 --> 00:13:06.080
 nobody

00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:06.580
 else

00:13:06.580 --> 00:13:07.660
 except that

00:13:07.660 --> 00:13:08.340
 you are

00:13:08.340 --> 00:13:09.180
 in Christ.

00:13:11.020 --> 00:13:11.660
 Seated with

00:13:11.660 --> 00:13:11.880
 him.

00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:13.160
 in the

00:13:13.160 --> 00:13:13.500
 heavenly

00:13:13.500 --> 00:13:14.060
 realms.

00:13:15.100 --> 00:13:15.480
 In

00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:16.500
 Christ Jesus,

00:13:16.820 --> 00:13:17.700
 as for you,

00:13:18.300 --> 00:13:20.520
 that's who

00:13:20.520 --> 00:13:20.980
 you are.

00:13:21.860 --> 00:13:22.420
 Remember it.

00:13:22.419 --> 00:13:28.599
 the thing

00:13:28.599 --> 00:13:28.879
 is,

00:13:28.939 --> 00:13:29.240
 is that

00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:30.779
 everything,

00:13:30.939 --> 00:13:31.379
 everything,

00:13:31.539 --> 00:13:31.799
 Paul says,

00:13:31.839 --> 00:13:32.240
 is to be

00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:32.759
 worked out

00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:33.120
 from that

00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:33.459
 sense of

00:13:33.459 --> 00:13:33.939
 identity.

00:13:35.479 --> 00:13:36.079
 As for

00:13:36.079 --> 00:13:36.399
 you,

00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:39.379
 it's all

00:13:39.379 --> 00:13:39.639
 to do

00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:40.019
 with what

00:13:40.019 --> 00:13:40.519
 God has

00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:40.919
 done for

00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:41.599
 you in

00:13:41.599 --> 00:13:42.000
 Christ.

00:13:42.620 --> 00:13:43.179
 Not with

00:13:43.179 --> 00:13:43.839
 what you

00:13:43.839 --> 00:13:44.139
 do,

00:13:44.860 --> 00:13:46.240
 but what

00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:46.639
 God has

00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:47.279
 done for

00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:47.539
 you.

00:13:47.539 --> 00:13:48.579
 you

00:13:48.579 --> 00:13:48.599
 see,

00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:48.860
 he goes

00:13:48.860 --> 00:13:49.139
 on to

00:13:49.139 --> 00:13:49.500
 say that

00:13:49.500 --> 00:13:50.360
 it is

00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:51.000
 by grace

00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:51.299
 that you

00:13:51.299 --> 00:13:51.559
 have been

00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:52.079
 saved

00:13:52.079 --> 00:13:52.740
 through

00:13:52.740 --> 00:13:53.079
 faith,

00:13:53.319 --> 00:13:53.639
 and this

00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:54.139
 is not

00:13:54.139 --> 00:13:54.459
 from

00:13:54.459 --> 00:13:54.980
 yourselves,

00:13:56.179 --> 00:13:57.240
 it's not,

00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:57.980
 it's the

00:13:57.980 --> 00:13:58.959
 gift of

00:13:58.959 --> 00:13:59.259
 God,

00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:00.779
 not by

00:14:00.779 --> 00:14:01.240
 works,

00:14:02.179 --> 00:14:02.500
 so that

00:14:02.500 --> 00:14:02.819
 no one

00:14:02.819 --> 00:14:03.360
 can boast.

00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:05.579
 Imagine that

00:14:05.579 --> 00:14:05.959
 you walk

00:14:05.959 --> 00:14:06.879
 into a

00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:08.620
 car showroom

00:14:08.620 --> 00:14:09.179
 and it's

00:14:09.179 --> 00:14:09.439
 full of

00:14:09.439 --> 00:14:09.839
 very,

00:14:09.959 --> 00:14:10.360
 very nice,

00:14:10.439 --> 00:14:10.899
 brand new,

00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:11.219
 shiny,

00:14:11.379 --> 00:14:12.000
 expensive

00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:12.459
 cars.

00:14:12.460 --> 00:14:13.600
 You see

00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:13.940
 one that

00:14:13.940 --> 00:14:14.300
 you really

00:14:14.300 --> 00:14:14.680
 like the

00:14:14.680 --> 00:14:15.000
 look of,

00:14:15.100 --> 00:14:15.720
 it's got

00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:16.139
 a price

00:14:16.139 --> 00:14:16.519
 tag of

00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:17.220
 £80,000

00:14:17.220 --> 00:14:18.000
 on it.

00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:20.280
 Somebody

00:14:20.280 --> 00:14:20.700
 you've never

00:14:20.700 --> 00:14:21.180
 met before

00:14:21.180 --> 00:14:21.840
 walks up

00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:22.280
 to you,

00:14:22.780 --> 00:14:23.100
 has got a

00:14:23.100 --> 00:14:23.540
 smile on

00:14:23.540 --> 00:14:24.040
 their face,

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:25.280
 and they

00:14:25.280 --> 00:14:25.639
 say,

00:14:26.040 --> 00:14:26.720
 you'd really

00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:27.160
 like this,

00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:27.639
 wouldn't you?

00:14:28.560 --> 00:14:29.320
 You laugh

00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:29.700
 at them.

00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:30.440
 They say,

00:14:30.500 --> 00:14:30.759
 tell you

00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:31.000
 what,

00:14:33.180 --> 00:14:34.420
 I'll help

00:14:34.420 --> 00:14:34.860
 you to buy

00:14:34.860 --> 00:14:35.040
 it.

00:14:35.420 --> 00:14:36.060
 You laugh

00:14:36.060 --> 00:14:36.360
 at them.

00:14:36.400 --> 00:14:36.620
 They say,

00:14:36.680 --> 00:14:37.080
 seriously,

00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:37.519
 how much

00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:37.860
 have you got

00:14:37.860 --> 00:14:38.120
 on you?

00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:38.759
 You reach

00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:39.000
 into your

00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:39.360
 back pocket,

00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:39.580
 you've got

00:14:39.580 --> 00:14:40.040
 fiver.

00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:42.500
 You say,

00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:42.919
 it's alright,

00:14:43.740 --> 00:14:44.179
 you pop that

00:14:44.179 --> 00:14:44.579
 down on the

00:14:44.579 --> 00:14:44.779
 table,

00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:45.919
 I'll make

00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:46.159
 up the

00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:46.459
 rest.

00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:48.360
 So you

00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:48.799
 put in a

00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:49.120
 fiver,

00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:49.539
 and they've

00:14:49.539 --> 00:14:49.879
 put in

00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:50.139
 the,

00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:51.439
 what did

00:14:51.439 --> 00:14:51.659
 I say,

00:14:51.779 --> 00:14:56.000
 79,995

00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:56.339
 quid.

00:14:58.319 --> 00:14:58.679
 Paperwork's

00:14:58.679 --> 00:14:59.120
 dealt with,

00:14:59.199 --> 00:14:59.339
 and they

00:14:59.339 --> 00:14:59.459
 said,

00:14:59.519 --> 00:14:59.779
 would you

00:14:59.779 --> 00:15:00.319
 mind just

00:15:00.319 --> 00:15:01.620
 giving me

00:15:01.620 --> 00:15:01.959
 a lift

00:15:01.959 --> 00:15:02.219
 home?

00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:02.379
 It's

00:15:02.379 --> 00:15:02.639
 quite an

00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:02.959
 expensive

00:15:02.959 --> 00:15:03.299
 lift,

00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:03.620
 isn't it?

00:15:05.599 --> 00:15:05.919
 You're

00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:06.219
 hardly going

00:15:06.219 --> 00:15:06.459
 to say

00:15:06.459 --> 00:15:06.740
 no,

00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:07.059
 are you?

00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:08.519
 So you

00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:08.899
 get in the

00:15:08.899 --> 00:15:09.120
 car,

00:15:09.199 --> 00:15:09.379
 and you

00:15:09.379 --> 00:15:10.080
 go for

00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:10.539
 a spin.

00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:13.340
 And you

00:15:13.340 --> 00:15:13.620
 happen to

00:15:13.620 --> 00:15:13.840
 pull up

00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:14.039
 at some

00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:14.559
 traffic lights

00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:14.820
 in this

00:15:14.820 --> 00:15:15.299
 brand new

00:15:15.299 --> 00:15:15.700
 car that

00:15:15.700 --> 00:15:15.919
 you've

00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:16.340
 just put

00:15:16.340 --> 00:15:16.740
 a fiver

00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:17.259
 towards.

00:15:19.059 --> 00:15:19.559
 And you

00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:20.220
 see somebody,

00:15:20.439 --> 00:15:20.659
 and you're

00:15:20.659 --> 00:15:21.080
 waiting on

00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:21.240
 the lights,

00:15:21.299 --> 00:15:21.559
 they come

00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:21.720
 over,

00:15:21.779 --> 00:15:22.039
 they tap

00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:22.159
 on,

00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:22.360
 they say,

00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:22.639
 nice,

00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:23.439
 nice car.

00:15:24.259 --> 00:15:24.439
 And you

00:15:24.439 --> 00:15:24.559
 say,

00:15:24.659 --> 00:15:25.299
 thank you,

00:15:26.179 --> 00:15:26.720
 and you're

00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:27.159
 pointing to

00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:27.600
 your new

00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:27.919
 friend,

00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:29.860
 we bought

00:15:29.860 --> 00:15:30.439
 this together.

00:15:33.580 --> 00:15:34.179
 Now any

00:15:34.179 --> 00:15:35.320
 analogy breaks

00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:36.240
 down eventually,

00:15:36.379 --> 00:15:36.860
 of course it

00:15:36.860 --> 00:15:37.179
 does.

00:15:39.379 --> 00:15:40.620
 But when

00:15:40.620 --> 00:15:42.179
 God calls

00:15:42.179 --> 00:15:42.519
 you,

00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:44.419
 and you're

00:15:44.419 --> 00:15:44.840
 in him,

00:15:44.899 --> 00:15:45.120
 and you're

00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:45.539
 given that

00:15:45.539 --> 00:15:46.000
 gift of

00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:46.419
 grace,

00:15:47.179 --> 00:15:47.500
 yeah,

00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:49.779
 it's free,

00:15:51.340 --> 00:15:53.439
 but it's

00:15:53.439 --> 00:15:54.019
 not cheap.

00:15:54.019 --> 00:15:58.259
 we are

00:15:58.259 --> 00:15:58.559
 called to

00:15:58.559 --> 00:15:59.059
 respond.

00:16:00.059 --> 00:16:00.460
 We're

00:16:00.460 --> 00:16:00.919
 called to

00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:02.039
 accept that

00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:02.419
 gift.

00:16:02.899 --> 00:16:03.179
 We're

00:16:03.179 --> 00:16:03.819
 called to

00:16:03.819 --> 00:16:04.539
 live that

00:16:04.539 --> 00:16:04.819
 out.

00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:06.620
 But it's

00:16:06.620 --> 00:16:09.139
 the gift

00:16:09.139 --> 00:16:09.939
 from God,

00:16:10.939 --> 00:16:12.360
 not by

00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:12.840
 works,

00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:15.000
 so that

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:15.259
 no one

00:16:15.259 --> 00:16:15.720
 can boast.

00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:18.539
 As for

00:16:18.539 --> 00:16:18.819
 you,

00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:20.419
 death is

00:16:20.419 --> 00:16:21.059
 behind you.

00:16:21.059 --> 00:16:22.759
 as for

00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:23.099
 you,

00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:24.919
 your

00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:25.359
 identity

00:16:25.359 --> 00:16:26.139
 is now

00:16:26.139 --> 00:16:26.579
 held in

00:16:26.579 --> 00:16:26.879
 Christ,

00:16:26.939 --> 00:16:27.179
 who's in

00:16:27.179 --> 00:16:27.599
 the heavenly

00:16:27.599 --> 00:16:28.059
 realms.

00:16:28.479 --> 00:16:28.839
 That's who

00:16:28.839 --> 00:16:29.179
 you are.

00:16:29.259 --> 00:16:29.500
 You might

00:16:29.500 --> 00:16:29.799
 not think

00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:30.119
 much of

00:16:30.119 --> 00:16:30.439
 yourself,

00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:30.859
 but God

00:16:30.859 --> 00:16:31.079
 thinks

00:16:31.079 --> 00:16:31.439
 otherwise.

00:16:33.579 --> 00:16:34.139
 As for

00:16:34.139 --> 00:16:34.399
 you,

00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:36.659
 you're the

00:16:36.659 --> 00:16:37.239
 receiver of

00:16:37.239 --> 00:16:37.419
 this

00:16:37.419 --> 00:16:37.899
 extraordinary

00:16:37.899 --> 00:16:38.379
 gift.

00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:40.079
 As for

00:16:40.079 --> 00:16:40.279
 you.

00:16:40.379 --> 00:16:40.679
 So where

00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:41.059
 do we go

00:16:41.059 --> 00:16:41.339
 with it?

00:16:41.419 --> 00:16:41.639
 Well,

00:16:42.119 --> 00:16:42.599
 let's move

00:16:42.599 --> 00:16:42.819
 on to

00:16:42.819 --> 00:16:43.179
 the last,

00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:44.639
 towards the

00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:44.959
 end of

00:16:44.959 --> 00:16:45.639
 those verses.

00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:46.759
 Paul says,

00:16:46.819 --> 00:16:47.159
 for we are

00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:47.479
 God's

00:16:47.479 --> 00:16:48.119
 handiwork,

00:16:48.599 --> 00:16:49.399
 created in

00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:50.019
 Christ Jesus

00:16:50.019 --> 00:16:50.519
 to do

00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:51.019
 good work,

00:16:51.059 --> 00:16:51.559
 which God

00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:52.239
 prepared in

00:16:52.239 --> 00:16:52.899
 advance for

00:16:52.899 --> 00:16:53.339
 us to

00:16:53.339 --> 00:16:53.599
 do.

00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:54.079
 See,

00:16:54.139 --> 00:16:54.459
 as for

00:16:54.459 --> 00:16:54.719
 you,

00:16:54.839 --> 00:16:55.079
 God's

00:16:55.079 --> 00:16:55.899
 got something

00:16:55.899 --> 00:16:56.579
 for you

00:16:56.579 --> 00:16:57.159
 that no

00:16:57.159 --> 00:16:57.739
 one else

00:16:57.739 --> 00:16:58.179
 can do

00:16:58.179 --> 00:16:58.739
 except for

00:16:58.739 --> 00:16:59.019
 you.

00:17:00.219 --> 00:17:00.679
 God

00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:01.259
 prepared it

00:17:01.259 --> 00:17:01.759
 in advance

00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:02.119
 for you.

00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:02.579
 Even before

00:17:02.579 --> 00:17:02.959
 you were

00:17:02.959 --> 00:17:03.259
 born,

00:17:03.439 --> 00:17:04.039
 God knew

00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:04.799
 ways in

00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:05.299
 which you

00:17:05.299 --> 00:17:05.879
 could serve

00:17:05.879 --> 00:17:06.859
 him that

00:17:06.859 --> 00:17:07.399
 nobody else

00:17:07.399 --> 00:17:07.759
 can.

00:17:08.700 --> 00:17:09.099
 And that's

00:17:09.099 --> 00:17:09.500
 true right

00:17:09.500 --> 00:17:09.740
 now.

00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:10.119
 And that's

00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:10.399
 quite an

00:17:10.399 --> 00:17:10.599
 awesome

00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:11.039
 thought.

00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:12.200
 That as

00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:12.919
 free as

00:17:12.919 --> 00:17:13.519
 this gift

00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:15.159
 of God

00:17:15.159 --> 00:17:15.759
 is,

00:17:17.259 --> 00:17:17.659
 he's got

00:17:17.659 --> 00:17:18.220
 stuff for

00:17:18.220 --> 00:17:18.639
 us to do

00:17:18.639 --> 00:17:18.960
 with that

00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:19.319
 gift.

00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:20.919
 that's

00:17:20.919 --> 00:17:21.259
 an awesome

00:17:21.259 --> 00:17:21.700
 thought.

00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:22.759
 That's an

00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:23.039
 awesome

00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:23.619
 thought that

00:17:23.619 --> 00:17:24.659
 nobody can

00:17:24.659 --> 00:17:26.139
 do what

00:17:26.139 --> 00:17:26.799
 God wants

00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:27.240
 you to

00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:27.679
 do except

00:17:27.679 --> 00:17:28.279
 for you.

00:17:30.220 --> 00:17:30.639
 And every

00:17:30.639 --> 00:17:31.240
 single one

00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:31.579
 on this

00:17:31.579 --> 00:17:31.879
 room,

00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:32.439
 every single

00:17:32.439 --> 00:17:32.859
 person in

00:17:32.859 --> 00:17:33.179
 this room

00:17:33.179 --> 00:17:33.659
 this applies

00:17:33.659 --> 00:17:33.879
 to,

00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:35.259
 as for

00:17:35.259 --> 00:17:35.599
 you,

00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:38.519
 there are

00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:39.179
 ways in

00:17:39.179 --> 00:17:40.879
 which the

00:17:40.879 --> 00:17:41.519
 kingdom can

00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:42.179
 come through

00:17:42.179 --> 00:17:42.960
 you that it

00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:43.619
 can't come

00:17:43.619 --> 00:17:44.259
 through anybody

00:17:44.259 --> 00:17:44.779
 else.

00:17:44.779 --> 00:17:44.819
 works.

00:17:46.420 --> 00:17:47.160
 Because only

00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:47.619
 you are

00:17:47.619 --> 00:17:47.819
 you.

00:17:47.899 --> 00:17:48.180
 And that's

00:17:48.180 --> 00:17:48.460
 not just

00:17:48.460 --> 00:17:48.879
 some naff

00:17:48.879 --> 00:17:49.259
 piece of

00:17:49.259 --> 00:17:49.599
 rhetoric.

00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:50.460
 Only you

00:17:50.460 --> 00:17:51.220
 actually will

00:17:51.220 --> 00:17:51.799
 have the

00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:52.700
 combination

00:17:52.700 --> 00:17:54.619
 of skills,

00:17:54.879 --> 00:17:55.819
 experiences

00:17:55.819 --> 00:17:56.799
 through life

00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:58.119
 and network

00:17:58.119 --> 00:17:58.740
 of friends

00:17:58.740 --> 00:17:59.619
 and relations

00:17:59.619 --> 00:18:00.859
 that nobody

00:18:00.859 --> 00:18:01.259
 else will

00:18:01.259 --> 00:18:01.819
 have because

00:18:01.819 --> 00:18:02.139
 they will

00:18:02.139 --> 00:18:02.639
 be unique

00:18:02.639 --> 00:18:03.180
 to you.

00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:06.119
 That's for

00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:06.359
 you.

00:18:08.099 --> 00:18:08.559
 God's

00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:09.019
 handiwork

00:18:09.019 --> 00:18:09.740
 created in

00:18:09.740 --> 00:18:10.180
 Christ Jesus

00:18:10.180 --> 00:18:10.899
 to do good

00:18:10.899 --> 00:18:11.099
 works.

00:18:11.339 --> 00:18:11.660
 So what

00:18:11.660 --> 00:18:11.799
 are you

00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:12.000
 going to

00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:12.299
 do?

00:18:12.299 --> 00:18:16.579
 I just

00:18:16.579 --> 00:18:16.759
 want you

00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:17.119
 to imagine

00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:17.599
 as we

00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:18.039
 bring this

00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:18.259
 to a

00:18:18.259 --> 00:18:18.480
 close,

00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:18.740
 I just

00:18:18.740 --> 00:18:18.940
 want you

00:18:18.940 --> 00:18:19.339
 to think

00:18:19.339 --> 00:18:19.659
 for a

00:18:19.659 --> 00:18:20.019
 moment and

00:18:20.019 --> 00:18:20.440
 ask yourself

00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:21.039
 the question,

00:18:22.099 --> 00:18:22.419
 who in

00:18:22.419 --> 00:18:22.759
 your own

00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:23.440
 experience

00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:24.579
 played a

00:18:24.579 --> 00:18:25.279
 particularly

00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:26.319
 key role

00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:27.599
 in leading

00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:28.119
 you to

00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:28.639
 Christ?

00:18:30.099 --> 00:18:30.460
 Now my

00:18:30.460 --> 00:18:30.980
 guess is,

00:18:31.019 --> 00:18:31.480
 as I ask

00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:31.720
 you that

00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:32.099
 question,

00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:32.419
 you could

00:18:32.419 --> 00:18:32.940
 probably think

00:18:32.940 --> 00:18:33.359
 of quite a

00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:33.599
 lot of

00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:33.839
 different

00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:34.200
 people.

00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:34.859
 I'm just

00:18:34.859 --> 00:18:35.399
 asking you

00:18:35.399 --> 00:18:35.899
 to highlight

00:18:35.899 --> 00:18:36.980
 one person,

00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:38.139
 acknowledging

00:18:38.139 --> 00:18:38.539
 that there

00:18:38.539 --> 00:18:39.000
 are probably

00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:40.159
 several.

00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:40.220
 people.

00:18:41.620 --> 00:18:42.380
 It might

00:18:42.380 --> 00:18:42.860
 be a

00:18:42.860 --> 00:18:43.200
 family

00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:43.660
 member,

00:18:45.460 --> 00:18:46.620
 it might

00:18:46.620 --> 00:18:47.019
 have been

00:18:47.019 --> 00:18:48.080
 a parent

00:18:48.080 --> 00:18:48.360
 or a

00:18:48.360 --> 00:18:48.920
 grandparent,

00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:50.000
 an uncle,

00:18:50.220 --> 00:18:50.360
 it might

00:18:50.360 --> 00:18:50.500
 have been

00:18:50.500 --> 00:18:50.900
 a friend,

00:18:52.340 --> 00:18:53.180
 maybe it

00:18:53.180 --> 00:18:54.820
 was a

00:18:54.820 --> 00:18:55.580
 preacher who

00:18:55.580 --> 00:18:56.060
 preached a

00:18:56.060 --> 00:18:56.560
 message one

00:18:56.560 --> 00:18:56.920
 day that

00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:57.480
 you heard,

00:18:58.600 --> 00:18:59.080
 maybe at a

00:18:59.080 --> 00:18:59.779
 big festival,

00:19:00.180 --> 00:19:00.460
 Christian

00:19:00.460 --> 00:19:00.900
 festival,

00:19:01.100 --> 00:19:01.580
 you heard

00:19:01.580 --> 00:19:02.779
 the gospel

00:19:02.779 --> 00:19:03.360
 preach and

00:19:03.360 --> 00:19:03.840
 that was

00:19:03.840 --> 00:19:04.480
 the turning

00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:04.980
 point for

00:19:04.980 --> 00:19:05.180
 you.

00:19:05.900 --> 00:19:06.360
 Maybe it

00:19:06.360 --> 00:19:06.660
 was someone

00:19:06.660 --> 00:19:07.080
 that wrote

00:19:07.080 --> 00:19:07.519
 a Christian

00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:08.080
 book that

00:19:08.080 --> 00:19:08.500
 you picked

00:19:08.500 --> 00:19:09.240
 up once and

00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:09.640
 it made

00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:10.060
 you think.

00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:11.300
 As I say,

00:19:11.360 --> 00:19:11.860
 my guess is

00:19:11.860 --> 00:19:12.080
 you can

00:19:12.080 --> 00:19:12.340
 think of

00:19:12.340 --> 00:19:12.720
 lots of

00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:13.080
 different

00:19:13.080 --> 00:19:13.800
 people but

00:19:13.800 --> 00:19:14.400
 just hold

00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:14.960
 one person

00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:15.180
 in your

00:19:15.180 --> 00:19:15.660
 mind right

00:19:15.660 --> 00:19:16.620
 now who

00:19:16.620 --> 00:19:17.160
 played a

00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:17.759
 key role

00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:18.320
 in leading

00:19:18.320 --> 00:19:18.660
 you to

00:19:18.660 --> 00:19:19.400
 Jesus Christ

00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:20.500
 through their

00:19:20.500 --> 00:19:20.880
 words,

00:19:21.019 --> 00:19:21.340
 through their

00:19:21.340 --> 00:19:21.840
 actions,

00:19:22.060 --> 00:19:22.259
 through the

00:19:22.259 --> 00:19:22.560
 way they

00:19:22.560 --> 00:19:22.920
 lived their

00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:23.240
 life.

00:19:26.980 --> 00:19:27.380
 Now I

00:19:27.380 --> 00:19:27.620
 want you to

00:19:27.620 --> 00:19:28.040
 imagine that

00:19:28.040 --> 00:19:28.440
 you go to

00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:29.120
 that person

00:19:29.120 --> 00:19:29.540
 and you ask

00:19:29.540 --> 00:19:29.900
 the same

00:19:29.900 --> 00:19:31.180
 question that

00:19:31.180 --> 00:19:31.540
 I just put

00:19:31.540 --> 00:19:31.920
 to you just

00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:32.200
 then,

00:19:32.300 --> 00:19:33.120
 to name one

00:19:33.120 --> 00:19:34.080
 person that

00:19:34.080 --> 00:19:34.840
 was particularly

00:19:34.840 --> 00:19:35.759
 instrumental in

00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:36.360
 leading them to

00:19:36.360 --> 00:19:36.759
 Christ.

00:19:38.460 --> 00:19:38.900
 And you

00:19:38.900 --> 00:19:39.259
 were to go to

00:19:39.259 --> 00:19:39.460
 them.

00:19:41.140 --> 00:19:41.820
 And imagine,

00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:42.160
 you can see

00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:42.540
 where this is

00:19:42.540 --> 00:19:42.759
 going,

00:19:43.080 --> 00:19:44.800
 you go back

00:19:44.800 --> 00:19:45.259
 along the

00:19:45.259 --> 00:19:45.680
 chain and

00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:46.320
 you go back

00:19:46.320 --> 00:19:46.660
 and ask

00:19:46.660 --> 00:19:47.259
 them the

00:19:47.259 --> 00:19:47.440
 same,

00:19:47.500 --> 00:19:47.920
 that person

00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:48.240
 the same

00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:48.660
 question,

00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:49.580
 and then the

00:19:49.580 --> 00:19:49.940
 person that

00:19:49.940 --> 00:19:50.300
 they name

00:19:50.300 --> 00:19:50.680
 you go to

00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:51.000
 the same

00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:51.420
 question,

00:19:51.420 --> 00:19:52.040
 and then the

00:19:52.040 --> 00:19:52.320
 person that

00:19:52.320 --> 00:19:52.660
 they name

00:19:52.660 --> 00:19:52.940
 you go to

00:19:52.940 --> 00:19:53.259
 the same

00:19:53.259 --> 00:19:53.600
 question.

00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:53.899
 and so you

00:19:53.899 --> 00:19:54.319
 go back

00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:55.139
 through the

00:19:55.139 --> 00:19:55.759
 generations.

00:19:59.119 --> 00:19:59.959
 There is a

00:19:59.959 --> 00:20:00.519
 link through

00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:02.439
 history between

00:20:02.439 --> 00:20:03.119
 Christ and

00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:03.659
 his apostles

00:20:03.659 --> 00:20:04.259
 and you.

00:20:05.980 --> 00:20:06.759
 You have a

00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:07.759
 spiritual pedigree

00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:08.399
 that goes back

00:20:08.399 --> 00:20:09.259
 some 2,000

00:20:09.259 --> 00:20:09.659
 years.

00:20:09.980 --> 00:20:10.379
 Now I want to

00:20:10.379 --> 00:20:11.000
 put this question

00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:11.579
 to you now.

00:20:11.859 --> 00:20:12.500
 Who might it

00:20:12.500 --> 00:20:13.980
 be 20 years

00:20:13.980 --> 00:20:14.679
 from now,

00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:15.699
 10 years

00:20:15.699 --> 00:20:16.299
 from now,

00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:18.379
 5 years

00:20:18.379 --> 00:20:18.899
 from now,

00:20:18.900 --> 00:20:21.740
 who hypothetically

00:20:21.740 --> 00:20:22.440
 might be asked

00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:22.820
 the same

00:20:22.820 --> 00:20:23.280
 question,

00:20:23.900 --> 00:20:24.320
 and the

00:20:24.320 --> 00:20:24.880
 person that

00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:25.460
 they name

00:20:25.460 --> 00:20:29.540
 is you.

00:20:33.500 --> 00:20:34.420
 As for you,

00:20:38.420 --> 00:20:39.600
 let's pray.

00:20:43.040 --> 00:20:44.340
 Lord Jesus,

00:20:44.660 --> 00:20:45.580
 thank you for

00:20:45.580 --> 00:20:46.420
 this gift

00:20:46.420 --> 00:20:48.539
 of your

00:20:48.539 --> 00:20:49.100
 grace,

00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:50.980
 the gift

00:20:50.980 --> 00:20:51.460
 of good

00:20:51.460 --> 00:20:51.779
 news,

00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:52.300
 the gift

00:20:52.300 --> 00:20:52.880
 that we

00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:53.400
 are set

00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:54.460
 free from

00:20:54.460 --> 00:20:55.940
 death for

00:20:55.940 --> 00:20:56.759
 all eternity.

00:20:58.200 --> 00:20:58.900
 Thank you

00:20:58.900 --> 00:21:00.519
 that that

00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:01.960
 is a free

00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:02.480
 gift that you

00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:02.840
 give us,

00:21:02.940 --> 00:21:03.940
 that death

00:21:03.940 --> 00:21:04.720
 is behind

00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:05.100
 us,

00:21:05.340 --> 00:21:05.700
 that our

00:21:05.700 --> 00:21:06.660
 identity is

00:21:06.660 --> 00:21:07.440
 now in you,

00:21:07.620 --> 00:21:08.220
 that is a

00:21:08.220 --> 00:21:09.039
 free gift

00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:10.039
 that you

00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:10.460
 give us,

00:21:10.539 --> 00:21:10.759
 that we

00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:11.539
 cannot earn,

00:21:12.060 --> 00:21:12.500
 but you

00:21:12.500 --> 00:21:13.320
 freely give

00:21:13.320 --> 00:21:13.779
 to each

00:21:13.779 --> 00:21:14.060
 of us.

00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:14.880
 Thank you.

00:21:16.420 --> 00:21:18.779
 Lord,

00:21:18.860 --> 00:21:19.480
 help us

00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:22.300
 in our

00:21:22.300 --> 00:21:22.680
 everyday

00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:23.240
 lives,

00:21:24.080 --> 00:21:26.400
 not to

00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:26.759
 keep that

00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:27.140
 gift to

00:21:27.140 --> 00:21:27.620
 ourselves,

00:21:28.940 --> 00:21:30.700
 but through

00:21:30.700 --> 00:21:31.340
 our words

00:21:31.340 --> 00:21:31.700
 and through

00:21:31.700 --> 00:21:32.560
 our actions,

00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:34.300
 to pass

00:21:34.300 --> 00:21:34.800
 that on,

00:21:34.900 --> 00:21:35.600
 to share

00:21:35.600 --> 00:21:37.580
 that others

00:21:37.580 --> 00:21:38.360
 may have

00:21:38.360 --> 00:21:38.820
 it too.

00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:42.480
 Thank you

00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:42.860
 that you

00:21:42.860 --> 00:21:43.660
 call each

00:21:43.660 --> 00:21:44.380
 and every

00:21:44.380 --> 00:21:44.960
 one of us

00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:45.480
 to be part

00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:45.819
 of this

00:21:45.819 --> 00:21:46.480
 amazing

00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:46.900
 movement.

00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:50.019
 Thank you

00:21:50.019 --> 00:21:50.380
 that you

00:21:50.380 --> 00:21:51.099
 call each

00:21:51.099 --> 00:21:51.539
 and every

00:21:51.539 --> 00:21:51.960
 one of us

00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:52.420
 to know

00:21:52.420 --> 00:21:54.279
 that our

00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:54.799
 identity

00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:56.120
 is not

00:21:56.120 --> 00:21:56.380
 in what

00:21:56.380 --> 00:21:56.799
 we do,

00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:58.339
 but in

00:21:58.339 --> 00:21:58.660
 you.

00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:01.640
 In

00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:01.860
 Jesus'

00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:02.240
 name.

00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:04.019
 Amen.
