WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.560 This morning we're going to be serving and partaking of the Lord's table. 00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:11.240 And as we come to the table, we want to take a few moments to think about what this table means. 00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:15.540 Many of us know what it means. We've done this before. 00:00:18.539 --> 00:00:22.480 But our hearts easily forget what this table is all about. 00:00:22.820 --> 00:00:24.019 And so that's why we do this. 00:00:24.019 --> 00:00:31.640 We need to be reminded in here of the love of God for us and what he has done because of that love. 00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:36.659 So we're going to reflect a little bit on what Jesus said that points to this table, 00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:41.159 right from in John's Gospel where we have been studying up until now. 00:00:42.420 --> 00:00:48.359 Last Sunday was all about what it means to be a true disciple, a true follower of Jesus. 00:00:49.019 --> 00:00:53.420 And this morning we're going to focus on something else Jesus said in that same section. 00:00:54.020 --> 00:00:59.660 Let me read it for you from John 8, verse 31. 00:01:02.720 --> 00:01:06.560 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, 00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.520 If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 00:01:12.379 --> 00:01:16.680 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. 00:01:18.100 --> 00:01:19.340 They answered him, 00:01:20.100 --> 00:01:23.719 We are Abraham's descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. 00:01:24.019 --> 00:01:26.799 How can you say that we shall be set free? 00:01:28.679 --> 00:01:29.739 Jesus replied, 00:01:30.420 --> 00:01:32.599 Very truly I tell you, 00:01:33.459 --> 00:01:37.000 Everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.340 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, 00:01:42.019 --> 00:01:45.560 But a son belongs to it forever. 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.980 So if the son sets you free, 00:01:48.980 --> 00:01:51.420 You will be free indeed. 00:01:54.020 --> 00:01:57.659 So Jesus told the people who were gathered there that day 00:01:57.659 --> 00:02:00.540 That they needed to remain in his word. 00:02:01.100 --> 00:02:04.320 That they needed to continue to hold to his teaching. 00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.339 And if they did, he said, 00:02:07.399 --> 00:02:08.959 They would come to know the truth. 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.739 And that truth, he said, would set them free. 00:02:14.620 --> 00:02:16.000 Would liberate them. 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:20.400 And the people responded with surprise, 00:02:20.740 --> 00:02:21.960 And perhaps some confusion. 00:02:22.780 --> 00:02:25.340 What do you mean the truth will liberate us? 00:02:26.219 --> 00:02:27.819 We're Abraham's descendants. 00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:30.020 We are his offspring. 00:02:30.699 --> 00:02:32.520 We've never been slaves to anyone. 00:02:33.219 --> 00:02:36.400 What do you mean liberate us, set us free? 00:02:36.500 --> 00:02:37.539 We're not in bondage. 00:02:37.539 --> 00:02:41.799 Now I don't think that they meant that the Israelites 00:02:41.799 --> 00:02:43.819 Had never been slaves in history. 00:02:44.659 --> 00:02:45.840 Of course they were. 00:02:46.620 --> 00:02:48.099 They were slaves in Egypt. 00:02:48.659 --> 00:02:50.259 They were slaves in Babylon. 00:02:51.519 --> 00:02:53.019 Right now in the story, 00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.159 They're not really in slavery or in servitude per se. 00:02:57.579 --> 00:02:59.319 The Romans are ruling over them. 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:01.819 But it's not like it was in the days of Pharaoh. 00:03:02.359 --> 00:03:03.399 Or Nebuchadnezzar. 00:03:04.459 --> 00:03:05.979 Probably they are thinking about 00:03:05.979 --> 00:03:08.639 A different kind of being slaves. 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:12.039 More than just being slaves in a social status sense. 00:03:13.299 --> 00:03:14.959 They try to remind Jesus 00:03:14.959 --> 00:03:17.280 That they are no ordinary people. 00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.319 We are Abraham's descendants. 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:24.639 We are free men. 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:26.060 Free women. 00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:27.620 By birth. 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:29.560 By right. 00:03:30.299 --> 00:03:31.419 By blood. 00:03:32.419 --> 00:03:34.859 We are a people of spiritual privilege 00:03:34.860 --> 00:03:36.200 Because of our ancestry. 00:03:38.880 --> 00:03:40.100 Who we come from 00:03:40.100 --> 00:03:41.420 Is Abraham. 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.120 The man who God chose 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:45.780 And made a special covenant with. 00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:48.300 The one that God promised 00:03:48.300 --> 00:03:49.800 To make into a great nation 00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:51.020 And the father of nations. 00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:52.920 We are his offspring. 00:03:53.640 --> 00:03:55.540 We're nobility by birth. 00:03:56.340 --> 00:03:57.480 And by blood. 00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:01.119 And therefore we do not ever belong 00:04:01.119 --> 00:04:01.819 To anyone 00:04:01.819 --> 00:04:03.319 But God. 00:04:03.819 --> 00:04:05.199 So how can you say 00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:07.639 That we need to be liberated 00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:08.979 Or set free? 00:04:11.979 --> 00:04:13.599 Jesus looks them in the eye 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:15.879 And he says this 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:17.519 Very truly 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:19.060 I tell you 00:04:19.060 --> 00:04:21.259 Everyone who sins 00:04:21.259 --> 00:04:23.399 Is a slave 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:24.599 To sin 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.860 In other words 00:04:27.860 --> 00:04:28.540 Jesus says 00:04:28.540 --> 00:04:29.580 I'm not talking about 00:04:29.580 --> 00:04:31.080 The ordinary kind of 00:04:31.080 --> 00:04:31.939 Slavery 00:04:31.939 --> 00:04:34.379 I'm talking about 00:04:34.379 --> 00:04:35.800 A different kind of slavery 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.720 Spiritual slavery 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:40.360 It's kind of 00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:41.960 A surprising statement 00:04:41.960 --> 00:04:42.960 That Jesus makes 00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:43.960 Isn't it? 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:46.740 Everyone who sins 00:04:46.740 --> 00:04:48.220 Is a slave 00:04:48.220 --> 00:04:49.480 To sin 00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:52.379 But this is what he said 00:04:52.379 --> 00:04:54.779 Now normally 00:04:54.779 --> 00:04:56.000 When people are slaves 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:56.740 They are slaves 00:04:56.740 --> 00:04:57.600 To other people 00:04:57.600 --> 00:04:59.639 Either they have been 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:01.060 Enslaved by other people 00:05:01.060 --> 00:05:02.620 Or they have sold themselves 00:05:02.620 --> 00:05:03.439 Into slavery 00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:04.339 To other people 00:05:04.339 --> 00:05:06.860 But Jesus talks about 00:05:06.860 --> 00:05:08.139 A kind of slavery 00:05:08.139 --> 00:05:09.959 That's not to another person 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:11.819 But to sin 00:05:11.819 --> 00:05:12.899 Itself 00:05:12.899 --> 00:05:17.060 Well what is sin? 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:18.860 And how can people 00:05:18.860 --> 00:05:19.740 Be slaves 00:05:19.740 --> 00:05:20.699 To sin? 00:05:20.699 --> 00:05:23.680 Sin is a pretty loaded word 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.039 I did a quick little search 00:05:26.039 --> 00:05:26.819 On my computer 00:05:26.819 --> 00:05:27.199 And it 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.399 Over 800 times 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:30.879 It's mentioned 00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:31.779 From cover to cover 00:05:31.779 --> 00:05:32.399 In the Bible 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:34.099 And it's talked about 00:05:34.099 --> 00:05:35.620 In a variety of different ways 00:05:35.620 --> 00:05:37.599 Often it means 00:05:37.599 --> 00:05:38.819 Simply to do wrong 00:05:38.819 --> 00:05:41.379 Either against God 00:05:41.379 --> 00:05:43.079 Or other people 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:43.779 But especially 00:05:43.779 --> 00:05:44.639 Against God 00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:47.199 It's often described 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:47.860 With the language 00:05:47.860 --> 00:05:49.019 Of breaking the law 00:05:49.019 --> 00:05:52.399 Or disobeying God's commands 00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:55.120 But sin is also used 00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:55.659 To describe 00:05:55.659 --> 00:05:56.240 More than just 00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:57.519 The act of sinning 00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:59.180 Or doing wrong things 00:05:59.180 --> 00:05:59.919 It's also used 00:05:59.919 --> 00:06:00.579 To describe 00:06:00.579 --> 00:06:01.979 The spiritual condition 00:06:01.979 --> 00:06:03.399 Of people 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:05.259 Sinful 00:06:05.259 --> 00:06:08.000 Or the spiritual state 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:08.680 Of people 00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:10.240 Guilty 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:14.480 And then in some places 00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:15.300 Like this one 00:06:15.300 --> 00:06:17.340 Sin is even personified 00:06:17.340 --> 00:06:18.079 It's talked about 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:18.960 Almost as if it was 00:06:18.960 --> 00:06:20.360 This personal force 00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:21.939 Within us 00:06:21.939 --> 00:06:24.460 A restless evil 00:06:24.460 --> 00:06:25.100 Within us 00:06:25.100 --> 00:06:26.259 That tempts us 00:06:26.259 --> 00:06:27.680 That 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:29.939 Desires what is wrong 00:06:29.939 --> 00:06:31.720 That tries to deceive us 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:32.900 And lead us astray 00:06:32.900 --> 00:06:34.420 And damages 00:06:34.420 --> 00:06:35.600 And destroys us 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:37.180 But here 00:06:37.180 --> 00:06:39.920 It enslaves us 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:41.360 It is 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.040 The slave master 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.480 That we are a slave to 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.120 In the language 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:49.180 That Jesus uses 00:06:49.180 --> 00:06:50.240 It's a pretty serious 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:51.019 Thing to say 00:06:51.019 --> 00:06:53.060 I want you to 00:06:53.060 --> 00:06:53.899 Imagine yourself 00:06:53.899 --> 00:06:54.660 In the crowd there 00:06:54.660 --> 00:06:55.220 That day 00:06:55.220 --> 00:06:56.100 And Jesus saying 00:06:56.100 --> 00:06:56.840 This to you 00:06:56.840 --> 00:07:00.079 We might feel free 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:01.699 Just like the Jews did 00:07:01.699 --> 00:07:03.160 Who were speaking 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:04.360 To Jesus that day 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:06.759 But Jesus basically 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:07.379 Tells them 00:07:07.379 --> 00:07:08.980 You're not free 00:07:08.980 --> 00:07:11.460 You are in bondage 00:07:11.460 --> 00:07:13.639 You are trapped 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:16.060 You are a slave 00:07:16.060 --> 00:07:17.680 You are owned 00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:18.860 And controlled 00:07:18.860 --> 00:07:20.060 By sin 00:07:20.060 --> 00:07:21.639 It has power over you 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:22.819 Like a slave master 00:07:22.819 --> 00:07:23.860 Over a slave 00:07:23.860 --> 00:07:29.180 Now what does Jesus 00:07:29.180 --> 00:07:30.199 Mean by this? 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:32.540 Truthfully 00:07:32.540 --> 00:07:33.180 There are a number 00:07:33.180 --> 00:07:34.199 Of different places 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:35.199 And passages 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:36.300 In the Bible 00:07:36.300 --> 00:07:37.099 That talk about 00:07:37.099 --> 00:07:37.899 How sin 00:07:37.899 --> 00:07:39.319 Enslaves us 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:40.740 And we're not going to 00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:41.500 Go into all of them 00:07:41.500 --> 00:07:42.019 This morning 00:07:42.019 --> 00:07:43.560 But the worst way 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:43.979 Of all 00:07:43.979 --> 00:07:45.899 Is how sin 00:07:45.899 --> 00:07:46.939 Has power 00:07:46.939 --> 00:07:47.759 And control 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:48.920 And ownership 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:50.480 Over our final destiny 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:53.379 This is how it works 00:07:53.379 --> 00:07:55.360 By sinning 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:57.339 We become guilty 00:07:57.339 --> 00:07:59.699 And I don't mean 00:07:59.699 --> 00:08:01.000 Just that we feel guilty 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:01.719 I mean that we 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:03.420 Actually become guilty 00:08:03.420 --> 00:08:05.000 In the ledger of heaven 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:06.720 Of doing what is wrong 00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:09.320 And God 00:08:09.320 --> 00:08:11.040 As the righteous judge 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:12.760 Must do something 00:08:12.760 --> 00:08:13.720 About our guilt 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:16.200 He can't 00:08:16.200 --> 00:08:18.000 Just let us off the hook 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:18.980 And pretend that all 00:08:18.980 --> 00:08:20.060 The wrong things 00:08:20.060 --> 00:08:20.660 That we've done 00:08:20.660 --> 00:08:21.920 Never happened 00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:23.140 That wouldn't be just 00:08:23.140 --> 00:08:24.920 It wouldn't be right 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:25.940 For him to do that 00:08:25.939 --> 00:08:29.579 He has revealed 00:08:29.579 --> 00:08:30.420 Many times 00:08:30.420 --> 00:08:31.620 And in many ways 00:08:31.620 --> 00:08:33.080 Throughout the pages 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:33.860 Of his word 00:08:33.860 --> 00:08:35.759 That the consequence 00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:36.759 The penalty 00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:37.519 For sin 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:38.980 Is death 00:08:38.980 --> 00:08:40.820 And then to stand 00:08:40.820 --> 00:08:41.419 Before him 00:08:41.419 --> 00:08:41.940 In judgment 00:08:41.940 --> 00:08:44.500 He's revealed 00:08:44.500 --> 00:08:45.440 That all who are guilty 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:46.240 Must receive 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:47.120 What they deserve 00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:48.100 For every sin 00:08:48.100 --> 00:08:50.059 That they have committed 00:08:50.059 --> 00:08:52.639 And he has revealed 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:53.339 That the punishment 00:08:53.339 --> 00:08:54.559 That fits the crime 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:55.059 Of sin 00:08:55.059 --> 00:08:57.279 Is no less 00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:58.919 Than hell 00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:04.279 And so because 00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:05.219 Of our sins 00:09:05.219 --> 00:09:07.739 Our status before God 00:09:07.739 --> 00:09:08.879 Is guilty 00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:10.899 And we are destined 00:09:10.899 --> 00:09:11.559 To face 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:12.919 God's punishment 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:15.500 And so it really does 00:09:15.500 --> 00:09:16.399 Have power 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:17.639 And authority 00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:18.500 And control 00:09:18.500 --> 00:09:19.379 Over us 00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:21.200 And over what will 00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:22.299 Happen to us 00:09:22.299 --> 00:09:24.519 We are not free 00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:26.600 We are trapped 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:28.639 We are stuck 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:30.340 And in bondage 00:09:30.340 --> 00:09:31.980 It doesn't matter 00:09:31.980 --> 00:09:32.679 If you're physically 00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:33.899 Descended from Abraham 00:09:33.899 --> 00:09:35.100 By itself 00:09:35.100 --> 00:09:37.059 That is not enough 00:09:37.059 --> 00:09:38.820 To change your status 00:09:38.820 --> 00:09:39.679 Before God 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.120 Do you hear what Jesus 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:44.919 Is saying to them 00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:47.799 Picture yourself there 00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:49.519 In the temple courts 00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:51.719 As he says this 00:09:51.719 --> 00:09:52.279 To you 00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:55.240 Sin has you 00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:57.859 It owns you 00:09:57.859 --> 00:09:59.359 It holds sway 00:09:59.359 --> 00:10:00.079 Over you 00:10:00.079 --> 00:10:02.779 The wrong things 00:10:02.779 --> 00:10:03.279 That you've done 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:03.879 In your life 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:04.740 Have made you guilty 00:10:04.740 --> 00:10:05.559 Before God 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:06.879 And so you've forfeited 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:07.620 Your freedom 00:10:07.620 --> 00:10:09.399 Your life 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.779 And you are a slave 00:10:11.779 --> 00:10:16.039 There is good news 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:16.600 Coming 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:18.399 But before we get to it 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:19.079 Let's look at what 00:10:19.079 --> 00:10:20.179 Jesus says next 00:10:20.179 --> 00:10:22.000 Verse 35 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.319 Now a slave 00:10:25.319 --> 00:10:27.720 Has no permanent place 00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:28.399 In the family 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:30.959 But a son 00:10:30.959 --> 00:10:32.259 Belongs to it 00:10:32.259 --> 00:10:32.879 Forever 00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:35.079 So if the son 00:10:35.079 --> 00:10:36.000 Sets you free 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:38.319 You will be free 00:10:38.319 --> 00:10:39.120 Indeed 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.320 At this point 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:42.519 Jesus begins to talk 00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:43.039 For a moment 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:43.899 About a household 00:10:43.899 --> 00:10:45.860 A family 00:10:45.860 --> 00:10:48.000 And it's kind of 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:48.860 A mini parable 00:10:48.860 --> 00:10:49.419 I think 00:10:49.419 --> 00:10:51.500 He talks about 00:10:51.500 --> 00:10:51.980 The difference 00:10:51.980 --> 00:10:52.860 Between a slave 00:10:52.860 --> 00:10:53.539 Of the family 00:10:53.539 --> 00:10:54.620 Or we might think 00:10:54.620 --> 00:10:55.620 Of a household servant 00:10:55.620 --> 00:10:57.299 And a son 00:10:57.299 --> 00:10:58.560 In the family 00:10:58.560 --> 00:11:00.639 He says 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:01.120 The slave 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:01.860 Doesn't have 00:11:01.860 --> 00:11:03.000 A permanent place 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:04.759 In the family 00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:06.960 But a son 00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.519 He remains 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:10.059 In the family 00:11:10.059 --> 00:11:10.519 Forever 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:14.419 Now there's 00:11:14.419 --> 00:11:15.200 Some different ideas 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:15.919 About what Jesus 00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:16.980 Means by all this 00:11:16.980 --> 00:11:17.779 And how this 00:11:17.779 --> 00:11:19.100 Applies to the people 00:11:19.100 --> 00:11:19.980 He's talking to 00:11:19.980 --> 00:11:20.919 And I'm not 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:21.740 Going to go too far 00:11:21.740 --> 00:11:22.620 Beyond what Jesus 00:11:22.620 --> 00:11:23.200 Says here 00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:24.019 Because I'm not 00:11:24.019 --> 00:11:25.120 100% sure 00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:26.259 Just how it applies 00:11:26.259 --> 00:11:27.279 But there are 00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:28.240 At least two things 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:29.240 That seem clear to me 00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:30.000 That I think we can 00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:30.620 Draw out 00:11:30.620 --> 00:11:32.080 First of all 00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:33.179 As we've already said 00:11:33.179 --> 00:11:33.879 The people who 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:34.779 He is talking to 00:11:34.779 --> 00:11:35.899 In this little 00:11:35.899 --> 00:11:36.840 Parable analogy 00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:38.799 Are the slaves 00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:40.159 He says 00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:40.639 If the son 00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:41.439 Sets you 00:11:41.439 --> 00:11:42.080 Free 00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:42.679 If the son 00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:43.679 Liberates you 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:44.679 In other words 00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:45.100 You 00:11:45.100 --> 00:11:47.659 Are a slave 00:11:47.659 --> 00:11:48.340 To sin 00:11:48.340 --> 00:11:51.299 And 00:11:51.299 --> 00:11:52.659 We should know 00:11:52.659 --> 00:11:53.240 It's not just 00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:53.700 The people 00:11:53.700 --> 00:11:54.919 Jesus is talking to 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:55.700 Who are slaves 00:11:55.700 --> 00:11:57.480 To sin 00:11:57.480 --> 00:11:59.720 As we just saw 00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:00.500 Jesus said 00:12:00.500 --> 00:12:02.019 Everyone who sins 00:12:02.019 --> 00:12:03.620 Is a slave 00:12:03.620 --> 00:12:04.120 To sin 00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:07.360 That includes 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:08.120 The people there 00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:08.759 That includes 00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:09.120 Me 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.039 That includes 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:11.879 All of you 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.960 We have sinned 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:15.879 Against God too 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:16.820 And so we 00:12:16.820 --> 00:12:17.659 Are slaves 00:12:17.659 --> 00:12:18.960 In bondage 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.740 But the second 00:12:22.740 --> 00:12:23.399 Thing that comes 00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:24.259 Out clearly here 00:12:24.259 --> 00:12:25.779 Is what Jesus 00:12:25.779 --> 00:12:26.539 Says in verse 00:12:26.539 --> 00:12:27.440 36 00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:28.740 So if the son 00:12:28.740 --> 00:12:29.759 Sets you free 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:31.180 You will be 00:12:31.180 --> 00:12:31.899 Free indeed 00:12:31.899 --> 00:12:34.419 If we are the 00:12:34.419 --> 00:12:34.879 Slaves 00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:35.360 In Jesus 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:36.259 Illustration 00:12:36.259 --> 00:12:38.240 Jesus is the 00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:38.579 Son 00:12:38.579 --> 00:12:39.980 In the family 00:12:39.980 --> 00:12:41.620 And this might 00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:42.100 Be a little bit 00:12:42.100 --> 00:12:42.679 Hard for us 00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:43.279 To relate to 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:43.899 In our culture 00:12:43.899 --> 00:12:44.319 Today 00:12:44.319 --> 00:12:45.840 But back in 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:46.379 Those days 00:12:46.379 --> 00:12:47.000 It was common 00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:47.679 For families 00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:48.959 To live 00:12:48.959 --> 00:12:49.500 And to work 00:12:49.500 --> 00:12:49.980 Together 00:12:49.980 --> 00:12:51.240 Sons would 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:51.679 Take up the 00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:52.439 Family trade 00:12:52.439 --> 00:12:53.899 And work 00:12:53.899 --> 00:12:54.419 Alongside 00:12:54.419 --> 00:12:55.000 Their fathers 00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:56.360 And while 00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:56.840 The family 00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:57.539 Estate and 00:12:57.539 --> 00:12:58.019 Business 00:12:58.019 --> 00:12:59.279 Belonged to 00:12:59.279 --> 00:12:59.779 The father 00:12:59.779 --> 00:13:00.860 The son 00:13:00.860 --> 00:13:01.360 Would eventually 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:01.839 Come to 00:13:01.839 --> 00:13:02.279 Manage it 00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:02.620 For his 00:13:02.620 --> 00:13:02.980 Father 00:13:02.980 --> 00:13:03.980 And then 00:13:03.980 --> 00:13:04.439 After his 00:13:04.439 --> 00:13:05.039 Father died 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:05.379 He would 00:13:05.379 --> 00:13:06.039 Inherit it 00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:07.000 The business 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:07.779 And the estate 00:13:07.779 --> 00:13:08.279 From his 00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:08.639 Father 00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:09.919 And so 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:11.000 As part of 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:11.439 This way 00:13:11.439 --> 00:13:11.899 Of doing 00:13:11.899 --> 00:13:12.399 Family 00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:12.939 The son 00:13:12.939 --> 00:13:13.639 Had a place 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:14.339 Of special 00:13:14.339 --> 00:13:15.159 Privilege 00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:16.339 And authority 00:13:16.339 --> 00:13:17.720 In the family 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:19.659 He was given 00:13:19.659 --> 00:13:20.199 Authority 00:13:20.199 --> 00:13:22.039 And the ability 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:22.519 To make 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:23.759 Important decisions 00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:25.179 On behalf 00:13:25.179 --> 00:13:26.019 Of his father 00:13:26.019 --> 00:13:27.539 Including such 00:13:27.539 --> 00:13:28.000 Things as 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:28.399

00:13:34.679 So if the son 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:35.699 Took his 00:13:35.699 --> 00:13:37.039 Family signet 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:37.500 Ring and 00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:38.000 Pressed it
