00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.980
 Well, this morning is the first Sunday in 2020.

00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:10.839
 The chapter of our lives called 2019 has been written and it is complete.

00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:15.000
 We no longer have the opportunity to add anything to it.

00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:19.859
 And we cannot change what has happened in the past.

00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:20.820
 It's in the past.

00:00:22.859 --> 00:00:27.019
 Just as I wondered if you've taken time to reflect on 2019,

00:00:27.019 --> 00:00:30.100
 I wonder if you've taken time to think about this year ahead.

00:00:34.460 --> 00:00:39.299
 Some of you may or may not be into making resolutions and that kind of thing.

00:00:39.939 --> 00:00:45.620
 Have you taken time to think about not only how the past year went,

00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.260
 but how you'd like this next whole year to go?

00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:53.939
 What are the things that you hope to see in 2020?

00:00:57.020 --> 00:01:01.060
 What are your greatest longings for this year ahead?

00:01:04.100 --> 00:01:08.140
 My hope and my prayer is that as we come to the Lord's word this morning,

00:01:08.140 --> 00:01:14.359
 that he will give us a bit of a vision for what we can long for and pray for

00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:16.879
 and strive for in this coming year.

00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:21.319
 We ended last year, 2019,

00:01:21.839 --> 00:01:27.780
 by looking at the glorious truth of who this baby was in the manger.

00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:37.099
 He was the son who was with God and was God at the very beginning.

00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:38.919
 He became flesh.

00:01:39.679 --> 00:01:41.060
 He became one of us.

00:01:41.479 --> 00:01:42.759
 And he lived among us.

00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:50.840
 He was in our world.

00:01:52.380 --> 00:01:54.760
 And even though the world was made through him,

00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.980
 John says the world did not recognize him.

00:02:00.380 --> 00:02:02.460
 We're at the beginning of the story here,

00:02:02.460 --> 00:02:05.719
 as we look at John's account of the story of Jesus.

00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:09.120
 And there's a couple of things that John wants to make clear,

00:02:09.300 --> 00:02:13.560
 just as if you were asked to tell someone about something,

00:02:13.699 --> 00:02:14.939
 before you tell them the story,

00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.219
 there's a couple of things that I just want to say here at the beginning

00:02:18.219 --> 00:02:20.740
 and make clear before we get into it.

00:02:21.180 --> 00:02:22.680
 That's what John is doing here.

00:02:22.740 --> 00:02:25.659
 And he's already made clear for us

00:02:25.659 --> 00:02:30.419
 that the story of Jesus did not begin in the womb of Mary.

00:02:30.419 --> 00:02:37.759
 No, Jesus is the word who was with God and was God

00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.939
 even before everything in our world was made.

00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:44.819
 And he became flesh.

00:02:44.979 --> 00:02:47.079
 He came, he lived among us.

00:02:48.579 --> 00:02:51.379
 And there's more that John wants to make clear.

00:02:51.500 --> 00:02:53.779
 There's a couple other things that John wants to say

00:02:53.780 --> 00:02:56.780
 before he gets into telling the story of Jesus.

00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:06.180
 And one of those things is that

00:03:06.180 --> 00:03:11.020
 comes to us in verse 14.

00:03:11.420 --> 00:03:12.960
 And I'll read it for us this morning.

00:03:13.259 --> 00:03:14.740
 Verse 14 to 18.

00:03:14.900 --> 00:03:18.460
 If you have your Bible, feel free to open it up to John chapter 1.

00:03:18.900 --> 00:03:20.300
 If you're in the pew Bibles,

00:03:20.300 --> 00:03:23.219
 the black hardcover in front of you,

00:03:23.340 --> 00:03:25.100
 that's page 860.

00:03:27.060 --> 00:03:29.080
 John 1 verses 14.

00:03:30.900 --> 00:03:31.719
 John writes,

00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:33.460
 The word became flesh

00:03:33.460 --> 00:03:36.200
 and made his dwelling among us.

00:03:36.939 --> 00:03:39.320
 We have seen his glory.

00:03:40.220 --> 00:03:42.860
 The glory of the one and only Son

00:03:42.860 --> 00:03:44.480
 who came from the Father.

00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.780
 Full of grace and truth.

00:03:47.780 --> 00:03:51.439
 John testified concerning him.

00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:53.379
 He cried out saying,

00:03:53.979 --> 00:03:56.500
 This is the one I spoke about when I said,

00:03:56.939 --> 00:03:58.360
 He who comes after me

00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:00.360
 has surpassed me

00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:02.420
 because he was before me.

00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:05.620
 Out of his fullness,

00:04:06.099 --> 00:04:08.740
 we have all received grace

00:04:08.740 --> 00:04:10.740
 in place of grace already given.

00:04:11.379 --> 00:04:13.319
 For the law was given through Moses.

00:04:14.219 --> 00:04:15.580
 Grace and truth

00:04:15.580 --> 00:04:17.399
 came through Jesus Christ.

00:04:17.779 --> 00:04:21.099
 No one has ever seen God.

00:04:21.819 --> 00:04:23.500
 But the one and only Son

00:04:23.500 --> 00:04:25.519
 who is himself God

00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:28.719
 and is in closest relationship with the Father

00:04:28.719 --> 00:04:31.459
 has made him known.

00:04:33.059 --> 00:04:35.919
 So what else does John want to make clear to us

00:04:35.919 --> 00:04:39.039
 before he gets into telling the story of Jesus?

00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:42.060
 This one,

00:04:42.260 --> 00:04:42.900
 the word,

00:04:43.379 --> 00:04:44.100
 the light,

00:04:44.500 --> 00:04:45.260
 the life,

00:04:45.640 --> 00:04:47.020
 the one who became flesh,

00:04:47.080 --> 00:04:48.180
 he was in the world.

00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:49.720
 He came into our world

00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:51.120
 and he lived among us.

00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:54.379
 But the world on the whole

00:04:54.379 --> 00:04:55.800
 did not recognize him,

00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:56.460
 says John.

00:04:57.580 --> 00:04:59.000
 But even though on the whole

00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:00.600
 the world did not recognize him,

00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.080
 John says this in verse 14.

00:05:03.200 --> 00:05:03.600
 He says,

00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.540
 we have seen his glory.

00:05:08.540 --> 00:05:11.060
 We have seen his glory.

00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:13.460
 It's past tense.

00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:13.920
 Literally,

00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:16.300
 we saw his glory.

00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:17.840
 I want you to imagine for a moment

00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:20.420
 that John is here with us this morning,

00:05:20.540 --> 00:05:21.820
 that he's the guest speaker.

00:05:21.819 --> 00:05:25.699
 You can kind of do it up in your imagination

00:05:25.699 --> 00:05:26.540
 however you want.

00:05:26.620 --> 00:05:28.939
 And whether we go back in time to his time

00:05:28.939 --> 00:05:31.659
 where he kind of appears to us here in the future

00:05:31.659 --> 00:05:33.379
 and he's here today

00:05:33.379 --> 00:05:36.180
 to tell us the story of Jesus,

00:05:36.339 --> 00:05:37.519
 to tell us what he saw.

00:05:39.100 --> 00:05:40.879
 And he looks you in the face

00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:41.939
 and he says to you,

00:05:42.259 --> 00:05:45.000
 we saw his glory.

00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:53.079
 To which we're all thinking,

00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:54.579
 well, tell us, John.

00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:56.199
 What did you see?

00:05:58.040 --> 00:05:59.839
 What did you see of his glory?

00:05:59.980 --> 00:06:00.360
 Tell me.

00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:01.319
 Tell me the story.

00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:04.759
 You claim to have seen it.

00:06:04.860 --> 00:06:05.839
 What did you see?

00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:10.439
 What is John doing here?

00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:12.680
 He's whetting our appetites

00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:14.319
 for what's to come.

00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.360
 He's about to tell us the story.

00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.219
 But he wants us to listen closely

00:06:19.219 --> 00:06:21.199
 because there is something to see here

00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:22.300
 that is amazing,

00:06:22.420 --> 00:06:23.759
 that many missed

00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:26.500
 about Jesus,

00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:27.939
 about this one.

00:06:28.540 --> 00:06:30.800
 We saw his glory.

00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:34.259
 We didn't just see a guy

00:06:34.259 --> 00:06:35.539
 who was just another man.

00:06:35.659 --> 00:06:37.079
 We saw his glory.

00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:40.759
 The glory of the one and only son

00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:43.100
 who came from the Father,

00:06:43.100 --> 00:06:44.560
 says John.

00:06:45.960 --> 00:06:47.580
 And he gives us a bit of a trailer,

00:06:47.760 --> 00:06:48.980
 a bit of a teaser

00:06:48.980 --> 00:06:50.840
 as to some of what he saw.

00:06:52.400 --> 00:06:53.080
 He said,

00:06:53.500 --> 00:06:55.060
 we saw his glory,

00:06:55.200 --> 00:06:56.620
 the glory of the one and only son

00:06:56.620 --> 00:06:57.780
 who came from the Father

00:06:57.780 --> 00:07:01.100
 full of grace and truth.

00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:04.920
 We saw how he was full of grace

00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:09.060
 and full of truth.

00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:13.240
 And I hope right now

00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:14.480
 what we're thinking is,

00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:16.759
 John, tell me,

00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:18.860
 how was he full of grace?

00:07:20.520 --> 00:07:22.060
 How was he full of truth?

00:07:22.139 --> 00:07:23.020
 What did you see?

00:07:24.080 --> 00:07:25.139
 What did he say?

00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:26.100
 What did he do

00:07:26.100 --> 00:07:30.220
 that brought you to write this?

00:07:30.220 --> 00:07:32.500
 John's going to tell us

00:07:32.500 --> 00:07:34.560
 as he goes on in the gospel.

00:07:35.060 --> 00:07:36.140
 He's going to tell us

00:07:36.140 --> 00:07:38.200
 what he saw of Jesus' glory

00:07:38.200 --> 00:07:39.980
 and how he was full of grace

00:07:39.980 --> 00:07:41.340
 and truth.

00:07:44.220 --> 00:07:45.300
 Those two words,

00:07:45.420 --> 00:07:46.180
 grace and truth,

00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:46.580
 John,

00:07:46.760 --> 00:07:48.240
 he picks them up again

00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.700
 down in verse 17.

00:07:51.200 --> 00:07:53.160
 The last half of verse 17,

00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:54.140
 John says this.

00:07:54.140 --> 00:07:54.840
 He says,

00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:56.479
 grace and truth

00:07:56.479 --> 00:07:59.859
 came through Jesus Christ.

00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:02.699
 He's making a little bit

00:08:02.699 --> 00:08:03.919
 of a different point here

00:08:03.919 --> 00:08:05.919
 using the same two words.

00:08:06.539 --> 00:08:08.060
 The first point he made

00:08:08.060 --> 00:08:10.060
 was that Jesus is full

00:08:10.060 --> 00:08:11.419
 of grace and truth.

00:08:11.539 --> 00:08:12.839
 He has these qualities.

00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:16.179
 But now here in verse 17,

00:08:16.179 --> 00:08:17.539
 he's saying grace and truth

00:08:17.539 --> 00:08:20.059
 come through Jesus Christ.

00:08:20.559 --> 00:08:21.879
 And we're not going to get into

00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:24.239
 all the details of this verse here,

00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:25.460
 but he's comparing Jesus

00:08:25.460 --> 00:08:27.840
 to Moses in verse 17.

00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:29.720
 For the law was given

00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:30.400
 through Moses.

00:08:30.699 --> 00:08:31.199
 The law,

00:08:31.780 --> 00:08:32.720
 God's law,

00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:34.060
 was given,

00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:35.080
 and this is implied,

00:08:35.259 --> 00:08:35.980
 to people

00:08:35.980 --> 00:08:37.440
 through Moses.

00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:40.279
 Grace,

00:08:40.899 --> 00:08:41.879
 however,

00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:43.639
 grace and truth,

00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:44.480
 God's grace

00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:45.580
 and God's truth

00:08:45.580 --> 00:08:47.419
 came

00:08:47.419 --> 00:08:49.159
 and again implied

00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:49.919
 to people

00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:52.419
 through Jesus Christ.

00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:55.919
 So it's both.

00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.580
 He is full of grace

00:08:58.580 --> 00:08:59.460
 and truth

00:08:59.460 --> 00:09:00.220
 in himself

00:09:00.220 --> 00:09:01.360
 as a person.

00:09:01.779 --> 00:09:03.000
 The Lord Jesus is.

00:09:03.419 --> 00:09:04.419
 But he has also

00:09:04.419 --> 00:09:06.100
 come into our world

00:09:06.100 --> 00:09:07.580
 to offer us something.

00:09:08.580 --> 00:09:10.060
 To give us something.

00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:11.759
 To give us

00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:13.080
 God's grace

00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.399
 and God's truth.

00:09:17.180 --> 00:09:18.539
 What does John say

00:09:18.539 --> 00:09:19.519
 in verse 16?

00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:20.919
 He says,

00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:22.059
 out of his fullness

00:09:22.059 --> 00:09:22.939
 we have all

00:09:22.939 --> 00:09:23.840
 received

00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:25.199
 grace.

00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:28.340
 This is not just

00:09:28.340 --> 00:09:29.259
 grace and truth

00:09:29.259 --> 00:09:30.120
 for us to see

00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:30.720
 and look at.

00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:31.899
 This is grace and truth

00:09:31.899 --> 00:09:33.179
 for us to receive

00:09:33.179 --> 00:09:34.220
 and to take

00:09:34.220 --> 00:09:36.019
 for ourselves.

00:09:38.199 --> 00:09:39.259
 Just as the law

00:09:39.259 --> 00:09:39.860
 was given

00:09:39.860 --> 00:09:40.579
 through Moses

00:09:40.579 --> 00:09:41.439
 so that the people

00:09:41.439 --> 00:09:42.279
 could have it

00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:44.840
 in the same way.

00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:47.280
 God is giving

00:09:47.280 --> 00:09:48.320
 his grace

00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:49.759
 his generosity

00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:50.480
 his gift

00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:51.280
 his blessing

00:09:51.280 --> 00:09:53.040
 his truth

00:09:53.040 --> 00:09:54.100
 to people

00:09:54.100 --> 00:09:55.500
 and it's coming

00:09:55.500 --> 00:09:56.320
 through

00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:57.200
 his son

00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:58.720
 Jesus Christ.

00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:01.820
 How does it work?

00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:03.820
 How do we get it?

00:10:03.899 --> 00:10:04.879
 How do we receive it

00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:05.580
 for ourselves?

00:10:06.620 --> 00:10:07.220
 Again,

00:10:07.379 --> 00:10:08.040
 John is whetting

00:10:08.040 --> 00:10:08.680
 our appetite

00:10:08.680 --> 00:10:09.740
 so that as we go on

00:10:09.740 --> 00:10:10.280
 in the story

00:10:10.280 --> 00:10:11.780
 we can look for that.

00:10:11.779 --> 00:10:15.139
 How do we get this grace

00:10:15.139 --> 00:10:16.139
 from God

00:10:16.139 --> 00:10:17.240
 and this truth?

00:10:20.299 --> 00:10:21.419
 The last thing

00:10:21.419 --> 00:10:21.899
 that John

00:10:21.899 --> 00:10:23.079
 wants to make clear

00:10:23.079 --> 00:10:24.759
 before he gets

00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:25.519
 into the story

00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:26.079
 of Jesus

00:10:26.079 --> 00:10:27.839
 comes in verse 18.

00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:30.279
 He says this

00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:32.299
 no one has ever

00:10:32.299 --> 00:10:33.839
 seen God

00:10:33.839 --> 00:10:35.980
 but the one

00:10:35.980 --> 00:10:37.139
 and only son

00:10:37.139 --> 00:10:38.699
 who is himself

00:10:38.699 --> 00:10:39.159
 God

00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:40.620
 and is in closest

00:10:40.620 --> 00:10:41.339
 relationship

00:10:41.339 --> 00:10:42.259
 with the father

00:10:42.259 --> 00:10:44.039
 has made him

00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:44.679
 known.

00:10:46.019 --> 00:10:47.539
 No one has ever

00:10:47.539 --> 00:10:49.139
 seen God

00:10:49.139 --> 00:10:49.860
 says John

00:10:49.860 --> 00:10:52.319
 and the way he says

00:10:52.319 --> 00:10:53.339
 this is quite emphatic

00:10:53.339 --> 00:10:54.259
 it's no one

00:10:54.259 --> 00:10:55.399
 has seen God

00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:56.199
 ever.

00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.300
 Now those of you

00:10:59.300 --> 00:11:00.080
 who know your Bible

00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:00.460
 well

00:11:00.460 --> 00:11:02.379
 might be a little

00:11:02.379 --> 00:11:03.160
 puzzled by that

00:11:03.160 --> 00:11:03.680
 expression.

00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:05.340
 Maybe you can think

00:11:05.340 --> 00:11:06.180
 of a time or two

00:11:06.180 --> 00:11:07.960
 back in the Old Testament

00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:08.840
 where it seems

00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:09.500
 as though someone

00:11:09.500 --> 00:11:10.480
 saw God.

00:11:12.820 --> 00:11:13.660
 One of those

00:11:13.660 --> 00:11:14.940
 times was

00:11:14.940 --> 00:11:15.560
 Jacob.

00:11:16.300 --> 00:11:16.780
 Jacob

00:11:16.780 --> 00:11:18.780
 a man

00:11:18.780 --> 00:11:19.480
 appeared to him

00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:19.879
 one night

00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:20.680
 and he wrestled

00:11:20.680 --> 00:11:21.500
 with that man

00:11:21.500 --> 00:11:22.680
 and at the end

00:11:22.680 --> 00:11:23.080
 of this

00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:24.140
 wrestling

00:11:24.140 --> 00:11:24.900
 with this man

00:11:24.900 --> 00:11:25.660
 the man said

00:11:25.659 --> 00:11:26.600
 you have wrestled

00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:27.299
 with God

00:11:27.299 --> 00:11:29.620
 and Jacob

00:11:29.620 --> 00:11:30.679
 at the end

00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:31.459
 of that whole

00:11:31.459 --> 00:11:32.000
 encounter

00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:32.679
 he named

00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:33.399
 the place

00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:34.539
 and he said

00:11:34.539 --> 00:11:34.860
 this

00:11:34.860 --> 00:11:35.259
 he said

00:11:35.259 --> 00:11:36.339
 because I saw

00:11:36.339 --> 00:11:36.980
 God

00:11:36.980 --> 00:11:38.399
 face to face

00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:39.819
 and yet my life

00:11:39.819 --> 00:11:40.439
 was spared.

00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:43.100
 So it seems

00:11:43.100 --> 00:11:43.459
 as though

00:11:43.459 --> 00:11:44.679
 Jacob saw God

00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:45.959
 in one sense

00:11:45.959 --> 00:11:48.579
 though it was

00:11:48.579 --> 00:11:49.659
 in the appearance

00:11:49.659 --> 00:11:50.319
 of a man.

00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:52.639
 Abraham also

00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:53.259
 if we remember

00:11:53.259 --> 00:11:54.139
 back to our last

00:11:54.139 --> 00:11:54.419
 series

00:11:54.419 --> 00:11:55.179
 he had an

00:11:55.179 --> 00:11:55.799
 encounter

00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:56.319
 with God

00:11:56.319 --> 00:11:57.019
 like this

00:11:57.019 --> 00:11:58.319
 the three

00:11:58.319 --> 00:11:58.799
 visitors

00:11:58.799 --> 00:11:59.699
 came

00:11:59.699 --> 00:12:00.839
 to him

00:12:00.839 --> 00:12:01.860
 and one

00:12:01.860 --> 00:12:02.299
 of them

00:12:02.299 --> 00:12:03.360
 was the

00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:04.259
 Lord himself

00:12:04.259 --> 00:12:06.319
 in human

00:12:06.319 --> 00:12:07.319
 form.

00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:09.419
 Abraham

00:12:09.419 --> 00:12:11.500
 spoke to him

00:12:11.500 --> 00:12:12.399
 face to face

00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:13.639
 like he would

00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:14.500
 to any other

00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:15.000
 person.

00:12:15.500 --> 00:12:16.759
 He offered him

00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:17.759
 hospitality

00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:19.580
 food to eat

00:12:19.580 --> 00:12:22.080
 and drink

00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.700
 and he bartered

00:12:24.700 --> 00:12:25.279
 with him

00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:27.500
 about Sodom

00:12:27.500 --> 00:12:28.139
 and Gomorrah.

00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:31.240
 Abraham,

00:12:31.659 --> 00:12:32.360
 Jacob and

00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:32.899
 others

00:12:32.899 --> 00:12:34.319
 had encounters

00:12:34.319 --> 00:12:35.059
 with God

00:12:35.059 --> 00:12:36.539
 like this

00:12:36.539 --> 00:12:38.700
 where they saw

00:12:38.700 --> 00:12:39.159
 God

00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:39.679
 and God

00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:40.279
 I guess

00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:41.200
 appeared to

00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:41.500
 them

00:12:41.500 --> 00:12:42.860
 made himself

00:12:42.860 --> 00:12:43.419
 known to

00:12:43.419 --> 00:12:44.340
 them in

00:12:44.340 --> 00:12:45.399
 human form

00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:45.840
 took on

00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:46.279
 the form

00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:46.539
 of a

00:12:46.539 --> 00:12:46.860
 human

00:12:46.860 --> 00:12:48.259
 being

00:12:48.259 --> 00:12:49.319
 and spoke

00:12:49.319 --> 00:12:49.799
 to them.

00:12:51.899 --> 00:12:53.059
 Moses also

00:12:53.059 --> 00:12:54.259
 in a sense

00:12:54.259 --> 00:12:55.059
 saw

00:12:55.059 --> 00:12:55.939
 God

00:12:55.939 --> 00:12:58.199
 when he was

00:12:58.199 --> 00:12:58.720
 kind of in the

00:12:58.720 --> 00:12:59.199
 region of

00:12:59.199 --> 00:12:59.759
 Sinai

00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:01.240
 and during

00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:02.840
 that time

00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:03.500
 before they had

00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:03.899
 entered the

00:13:03.899 --> 00:13:04.639
 promised land

00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:05.720
 it says this

00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:06.199
 in Exodus

00:13:06.199 --> 00:13:06.759
 33

00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:07.379
 now Moses

00:13:07.379 --> 00:13:07.799
 used to

00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:08.220
 take a

00:13:08.220 --> 00:13:08.579
 tent

00:13:08.579 --> 00:13:09.980
 and pitch

00:13:09.980 --> 00:13:10.600
 it outside

00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:11.379
 the camp

00:13:11.379 --> 00:13:12.460
 some distance

00:13:12.460 --> 00:13:12.899
 away

00:13:12.899 --> 00:13:14.259
 and he called

00:13:14.259 --> 00:13:14.559
 it the

00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:14.980
 tent of

00:13:14.980 --> 00:13:15.360
 meeting

00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:17.159
 and

00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:18.039
 he basically

00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:18.600
 tells us

00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:19.060
 that Moses

00:13:19.060 --> 00:13:19.440
 would go

00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:19.759
 out to

00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:20.259
 this tent

00:13:20.259 --> 00:13:20.800
 to meet

00:13:20.800 --> 00:13:21.440
 with God

00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:22.720
 and it

00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:23.340
 says this

00:13:23.340 --> 00:13:23.800
 in verse

00:13:23.800 --> 00:13:24.379
 11 of

00:13:24.379 --> 00:13:25.159
 chapter 33

00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:25.680
 the Lord

00:13:25.680 --> 00:13:26.279
 would speak

00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:26.879
 to Moses

00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:27.899
 face to

00:13:27.899 --> 00:13:28.379
 face

00:13:28.379 --> 00:13:30.720
 as one

00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:31.779
 speaks to

00:13:31.779 --> 00:13:32.320
 a friend

00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:35.360
 so it

00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:36.019
 seems from

00:13:36.019 --> 00:13:36.860
 these

00:13:36.860 --> 00:13:37.620
 examples

00:13:37.620 --> 00:13:39.259
 that in

00:13:39.259 --> 00:13:39.899
 at least

00:13:39.899 --> 00:13:40.759
 some sense

00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:41.440
 some people

00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:42.620
 have seen

00:13:42.620 --> 00:13:43.379
 God

00:13:43.379 --> 00:13:46.659
 but in

00:13:46.659 --> 00:13:46.939
 another

00:13:46.939 --> 00:13:47.439
 sense

00:13:47.439 --> 00:13:49.000
 in the

00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:49.240
 sense

00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:49.439
 that

00:13:49.439 --> 00:13:49.700
 John

00:13:49.700 --> 00:13:50.159
 means

00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:50.879
 no

00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:51.179
 one

00:13:51.179 --> 00:13:51.580
 has

00:13:51.580 --> 00:13:51.980
 ever

00:13:51.980 --> 00:13:52.779
 seen

00:13:52.779 --> 00:13:53.580
 God

00:13:53.580 --> 00:13:55.340
 and

00:13:55.340 --> 00:13:56.519
 I think

00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:56.840
 one of the

00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:57.639
 best examples

00:13:57.639 --> 00:13:58.120
 of this

00:13:58.120 --> 00:13:58.820
 is with

00:13:58.820 --> 00:13:59.220
 Moses

00:13:59.220 --> 00:13:59.980
 and it

00:13:59.980 --> 00:14:00.519
 comes right

00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:01.139
 after this

00:14:01.139 --> 00:14:01.559
 it says

00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:01.899
 that he

00:14:01.899 --> 00:14:02.340
 spoke

00:14:02.340 --> 00:14:03.759
 to Moses

00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:04.360
 face to

00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:04.600
 face

00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:04.980
 as one

00:14:04.980 --> 00:14:05.480
 speaks to

00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:05.919
 a friend

00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:06.220
 and then

00:14:06.220 --> 00:14:06.480
 in the

00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:07.220
 very next

00:14:07.220 --> 00:14:07.879
 section

00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:08.940
 the very

00:14:08.940 --> 00:14:09.340
 next

00:14:09.340 --> 00:14:10.259
 encounter

00:14:10.259 --> 00:14:10.980
 that's

00:14:10.980 --> 00:14:11.500
 described

00:14:11.500 --> 00:14:12.000
 that Moses

00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:12.460
 has with

00:14:12.460 --> 00:14:12.860
 God

00:14:12.860 --> 00:14:14.620
 this is

00:14:14.620 --> 00:14:14.919
 what it

00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:15.200
 says

00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:15.559
 it says

00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:16.120
 Moses

00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:17.700
 he asked

00:14:17.700 --> 00:14:18.080
 God

00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:19.519
 for something

00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:21.259
 he said

00:14:21.259 --> 00:14:22.080
 show me

00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:22.779
 your glory

00:14:22.779 --> 00:14:25.399
 and the

00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:25.679
 Lord

00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:26.500
 agreed to

00:14:26.500 --> 00:14:27.319
 his request

00:14:27.319 --> 00:14:30.360
 the Lord

00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:31.240
 said

00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:31.659
 I will

00:14:31.659 --> 00:14:32.059
 cause

00:14:32.059 --> 00:14:32.659
 all my

00:14:32.659 --> 00:14:33.299
 goodness

00:14:33.299 --> 00:14:34.319
 to pass

00:14:34.319 --> 00:14:34.759
 in front

00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:35.179
 of you

00:14:35.179 --> 00:14:36.399
 and I

00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:36.559
 will

00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:37.039
 proclaim

00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:37.819
 my name

00:14:37.819 --> 00:14:38.759
 the Lord

00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:39.220
 in your

00:14:39.220 --> 00:14:39.799
 presence

00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:41.639
 but

00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:42.319
 the Lord

00:14:42.319 --> 00:14:42.699
 said

00:14:42.699 --> 00:14:44.019
 you cannot

00:14:44.019 --> 00:14:44.679
 see

00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:45.779
 my face

00:14:45.779 --> 00:14:47.620
 for no

00:14:47.620 --> 00:14:47.939
 one

00:14:47.939 --> 00:14:48.699
 may see

00:14:48.699 --> 00:14:49.019
 me

00:14:49.019 --> 00:14:50.139
 and live

00:14:50.139 --> 00:14:51.519
 so even

00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:51.740
 though

00:14:51.740 --> 00:14:52.099
 Moses

00:14:52.099 --> 00:14:52.799
 had spoken

00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:53.179
 to the

00:14:53.179 --> 00:14:53.379
 Lord

00:14:53.379 --> 00:14:53.939
 face to

00:14:53.939 --> 00:14:54.259
 face

00:14:54.259 --> 00:14:54.679
 in one

00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:55.059
 sense

00:14:55.059 --> 00:14:56.539
 there was

00:14:56.539 --> 00:14:57.039
 still a

00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:57.299
 sense

00:14:57.299 --> 00:14:57.620
 in which

00:14:57.620 --> 00:14:57.919
 he had

00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:58.259
 not

00:14:58.259 --> 00:14:58.740
 seen

00:14:58.740 --> 00:14:59.299
 the

00:14:59.299 --> 00:14:59.740
 Lord's

00:14:59.740 --> 00:15:00.359
 face

00:15:00.359 --> 00:15:00.919
 not

00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:01.459
 in

00:15:01.459 --> 00:15:02.079
 not

00:15:02.079 --> 00:15:02.299

00:15:02.299 --> 00:15:02.539
 Lord

00:15:02.539 --> 00:15:02.699
 in

00:15:03.659 --> 00:15:03.859
 his

00:15:03.859 --> 00:15:04.339

00:15:04.339 --> 00:15:07.439
 the

00:15:07.439 --> 00:15:07.639
 Lord

00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:07.899
 said

00:15:07.899 --> 00:15:08.079
 you

00:15:08.079 --> 00:15:08.599
 can't

00:15:08.599 --> 00:15:09.199

00:15:10.259 --> 00:15:11.000
 in

00:15:11.180 --> 00:15:11.420
 fullness

00:15:11.420 --> 00:15:11.680

00:15:14.920 --> 00:15:15.060
 so

00:15:15.060 --> 00:15:15.240
 what

00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:15.420
 does

 the

00:15:15.560 --> 00:15:15.720
 Lord

 the

00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:06.340
 fullness

00:16:06.340 --> 00:16:07.059
 of

00:16:07.059 --> 00:16:07.340
 his

00:16:07.340 --> 00:16:08.100
 glory

00:16:08.100 --> 00:16:09.740
 and

00:16:09.740 --> 00:16:09.960
 there's

00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:10.179
 two

00:16:10.179 --> 00:16:10.740
 reasons

00:16:10.740 --> 00:16:11.199
 at

00:16:11.199 --> 00:16:11.579
 least

00:16:11.579 --> 00:16:12.399
 why

00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:13.579
 the

00:16:13.579 --> 00:16:13.879
 first

00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:14.079
 is

00:16:14.079 --> 00:16:14.379
 owing

00:16:14.379 --> 00:16:14.620
 to

00:16:14.620 --> 00:16:14.819
 our

00:16:14.819 --> 00:16:15.199
 own

00:16:15.199 --> 00:16:16.019
 sinfulness

00:16:16.019 --> 00:16:18.360
 we

00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:18.519
 are

00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:18.879
 sinners

00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:19.439
 we

00:16:19.439 --> 00:16:19.600
 are

00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:19.980
 rebels

00:16:19.980 --> 00:16:20.379
 God

00:16:20.379 --> 00:16:20.560
 is

00:16:20.560 --> 00:16:21.039
 holy

00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:22.039
 he

00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:22.240
 is

00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:22.680
 righteous

00:16:22.680 --> 00:16:23.100
 he

00:16:23.100 --> 00:16:23.340
 is

00:16:23.340 --> 00:16:23.779
 eager

00:16:23.779 --> 00:16:24.700
 to

00:16:24.700 --> 00:16:25.000
 bring

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:25.680
 justice

00:16:25.680 --> 00:16:26.240
 and

00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:26.379
 to

00:16:26.379 --> 00:16:26.620
 do

00:16:26.620 --> 00:16:27.120
 good

00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:28.820
 and

00:16:28.820 --> 00:16:28.960
 so

00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:29.139
 we

00:16:29.139 --> 00:16:29.300
 can

00:16:29.300 --> 00:16:29.500
 only

00:16:29.500 --> 00:16:29.759
 get

00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:30.039
 so

00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:30.539
 close

00:16:30.539 --> 00:16:33.700
 you

00:16:33.700 --> 00:16:34.080
 cannot

00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:34.420
 see

00:16:34.420 --> 00:16:34.639
 my

00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:35.100
 face

00:16:35.100 --> 00:16:36.240
 for

00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:36.500
 no

00:16:36.500 --> 00:16:36.800
 one

00:16:36.800 --> 00:16:37.200
 may

00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:37.500
 see

00:16:37.500 --> 00:16:37.840
 me

00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:38.500
 and

00:16:38.500 --> 00:16:38.879
 live

00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:41.420
 the

00:16:41.420 --> 00:16:41.820
 second

00:16:41.820 --> 00:16:42.840
 reason

00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:43.120
 that

00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:43.340
 we

00:16:43.340 --> 00:16:44.080
 cannot

00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:44.480
 see

00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:44.860
 God

00:16:44.860 --> 00:16:45.159
 is

00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:45.960
 is

00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:46.279
 owing

00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:46.620
 to

00:16:46.620 --> 00:16:47.580
 what

00:16:47.580 --> 00:16:47.960
 one

00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:49.399
 preacher

00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:50.299
 referred

00:16:50.299 --> 00:16:50.579
 to

00:16:50.579 --> 00:16:50.939
 as

00:16:50.939 --> 00:16:51.319
 our

00:16:51.319 --> 00:16:52.059
 creaturely

00:16:52.059 --> 00:16:52.699
 weakness

00:16:52.699 --> 00:16:54.879
 we

00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:55.199
 lack

00:16:55.199 --> 00:16:55.399
 the

00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:55.939
 capacity

00:16:55.939 --> 00:16:56.299
 to

00:16:56.299 --> 00:16:56.519
 do

00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:56.759
 it

00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:58.579
 Jesus

00:16:58.579 --> 00:16:58.819
 will

00:16:58.819 --> 00:16:59.100
 tell

00:16:59.100 --> 00:16:59.379
 us

00:16:59.379 --> 00:17:00.079
 just a

00:17:00.079 --> 00:17:00.240
 couple

00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:00.679
 chapters

00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:01.019
 later

00:17:01.019 --> 00:17:01.240
 in

00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:01.480
 John

00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:01.679
 that

00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:02.079
 God

00:17:02.079 --> 00:17:02.500
 is

00:17:02.500 --> 00:17:03.240
 spirit

00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:06.740
 in

00:17:06.740 --> 00:17:07.039
 Paul's

00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:07.160
 letter

00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:07.319
 to

00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:07.460
 the

00:17:07.460 --> 00:17:07.980
 Colossians

00:17:07.980 --> 00:17:08.160
 he

00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:08.400
 says

00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:08.579
 for

00:17:08.579 --> 00:17:08.779
 the

00:17:08.779 --> 00:17:09.059
 sun

00:17:09.059 --> 00:17:09.420
 is

00:17:09.420 --> 00:17:09.620
 the

00:17:09.620 --> 00:17:10.120
 image

00:17:10.120 --> 00:17:10.539
 of

00:17:10.539 --> 00:17:10.720
 the

00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:11.539
 invisible

00:17:11.539 --> 00:17:12.579
 God

00:17:12.579 --> 00:17:14.019
 and

00:17:14.019 --> 00:17:14.259
 again

00:17:14.259 --> 00:17:14.460
 in

00:17:14.460 --> 00:17:14.720
 1st

00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:14.980
 Timothy

00:17:14.980 --> 00:17:15.259
 1

00:17:15.259 --> 00:17:15.460
 verse

00:17:15.460 --> 00:17:15.920
 17

00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:16.559
 he

00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:16.740
 is

00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:16.920
 the

00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:17.559
 invisible

00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:18.140
 God

00:17:18.140 --> 00:17:18.740
 God

00:17:18.740 --> 00:17:18.920
 is

00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:19.319
 spirit

00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:19.620
 he

00:17:19.620 --> 00:17:19.799
 is

00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:20.359
 invisible

00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:22.740
 we

00:17:22.740 --> 00:17:23.279
 can't

00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:24.140
 see

00:17:24.140 --> 00:17:24.380
 him

00:17:24.380 --> 00:17:24.599
 with

00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:24.799
 our

00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:25.620
 physical

00:17:25.620 --> 00:17:26.059
 human

00:17:26.059 --> 00:17:26.440
 eyes

00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:26.660
 they

00:17:26.660 --> 00:17:27.240
 don't

00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:28.079
 have

00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:28.259
 the

00:17:28.259 --> 00:17:28.759
 capacity

00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:29.120
 to

00:17:29.120 --> 00:17:29.579
 see

00:17:29.579 --> 00:17:31.620
 spirits

00:17:31.619 --> 00:17:33.859
 and

00:17:33.859 --> 00:17:33.979
 so

00:17:33.979 --> 00:17:34.119
 in

00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:34.339
 that

00:17:34.339 --> 00:17:34.679
 sense

00:17:34.679 --> 00:17:35.000
 no

00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:35.219
 one

00:17:35.219 --> 00:17:35.679
 has

00:17:35.679 --> 00:17:36.059
 ever

00:17:36.059 --> 00:17:36.799
 seen

00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:37.559
 God

00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:40.479
 and

00:17:40.479 --> 00:17:40.979
 we

00:17:40.979 --> 00:17:41.259
 might

00:17:41.259 --> 00:17:41.979
 perhaps

00:17:41.979 --> 00:17:43.219
 speculate

00:17:43.219 --> 00:17:43.659
 a little

00:17:43.659 --> 00:17:43.839
 bit

00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:44.059
 that

00:17:44.059 --> 00:17:44.339
 even

00:17:44.339 --> 00:17:44.619
 if

00:17:44.619 --> 00:17:45.419
 God

00:17:45.419 --> 00:17:45.699
 was

00:17:45.699 --> 00:17:45.939
 to

00:17:45.939 --> 00:17:46.619
 make

00:17:46.619 --> 00:17:47.059
 himself

00:17:47.059 --> 00:17:47.559
 known

00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:48.299
 in

00:17:48.299 --> 00:17:48.639
 the

00:17:48.639 --> 00:17:49.059
 fullness

00:17:49.059 --> 00:17:49.359
 of

00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:49.519
 his

00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:49.839
 glory

00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:50.239
 right

00:17:50.239 --> 00:17:50.419
 in

00:17:50.419 --> 00:17:50.599
 front

00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:50.719
 of

00:17:50.719 --> 00:17:50.879
 our

00:17:50.879 --> 00:17:51.259
 faces

00:17:51.259 --> 00:17:52.259
 we

00:17:52.259 --> 00:17:52.479
 just

00:17:52.479 --> 00:17:53.019
 we

00:17:53.019 --> 00:17:53.559
 couldn't

00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:53.959
 handle

00:17:53.959 --> 00:17:54.219
 it

00:17:54.219 --> 00:17:55.579
 the

00:17:55.579 --> 00:17:55.959
 analogy

00:17:55.959 --> 00:17:56.199
 that

00:17:56.199 --> 00:17:56.379
 I

00:17:56.379 --> 00:17:57.199
 kept

00:17:57.199 --> 00:17:57.519
 thinking

00:17:57.519 --> 00:17:57.759
 of

00:17:57.759 --> 00:17:57.919
 as

00:17:57.919 --> 00:17:58.039
 I

00:17:58.039 --> 00:17:58.179
 was

00:17:58.179 --> 00:17:58.479
 thinking

00:17:58.479 --> 00:17:58.779
 through

00:17:58.779 --> 00:17:59.019
 this

00:17:59.019 --> 00:17:59.259
 was

00:17:59.259 --> 00:17:59.719
 when

00:17:59.719 --> 00:17:59.859
 we

00:17:59.859 --> 00:18:00.039
 look

00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:00.159
 at

00:18:00.159 --> 00:18:00.299
 the

00:18:00.299 --> 00:18:00.599
 sun

00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:01.559
 maybe

00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:01.839
 you

00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:02.259
 have

00:18:02.259 --> 00:18:02.480
 seen

00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:02.619
 a

00:18:02.619 --> 00:18:02.940
 sunrise

00:18:02.940 --> 00:18:03.279
 or

00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:03.679
 sunset

00:18:03.679 --> 00:18:03.960
 or

00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:04.200
 two

00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:04.519
 with

00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:04.779
 the

00:18:04.779 --> 00:18:05.240
 short

00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:05.539
 days

00:18:05.539 --> 00:18:05.700
 that

00:18:05.700 --> 00:18:05.779
 we

00:18:05.779 --> 00:18:05.899
 have

00:18:05.899 --> 00:18:06.000
 been

00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:06.399
 having

00:18:06.399 --> 00:18:08.220
 and

00:18:08.220 --> 00:18:08.319
 you

00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:08.500
 try

00:18:08.500 --> 00:18:08.639
 to

00:18:08.639 --> 00:18:08.859
 look

00:18:08.859 --> 00:18:09.079
 at

00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:09.200
 it

00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:09.319
 and

00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:09.480
 just

00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:09.779
 take

00:18:09.779 --> 00:18:09.960
 in

00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:10.119
 the

00:22:03.379 --> 00:22:03.519
 was

00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:03.779
 thinking

00:22:03.779 --> 00:22:04.079
 about

00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:04.460
 this

00:22:04.460 --> 00:22:06.840
 started

00:22:06.840 --> 00:22:07.120
 to

00:22:07.120 --> 00:22:07.900
 think

00:22:07.900 --> 00:22:08.799
 that's

00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:09.039
 really

00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:09.279
 a

00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:10.660
 good

00:22:10.660 --> 00:22:11.100
 desire

00:22:11.100 --> 00:22:11.299
 to

00:22:11.299 --> 00:22:11.519
 have

00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:11.779
 not

00:22:11.779 --> 00:22:12.019
 just

00:22:12.019 --> 00:22:12.240
 for

00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:12.680
 Sunday

00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:13.079
 mornings

00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:13.299
 when

00:22:13.299 --> 00:22:13.420
 we

00:22:13.420 --> 00:22:13.640
 come

00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:13.860
 to

00:22:13.860 --> 00:22:15.740
 listen

00:22:15.740 --> 00:22:15.960
 to

00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:16.120
 the

00:22:16.120 --> 00:22:16.420
 word

00:22:16.420 --> 00:22:18.039
 but

00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:18.400
 perhaps

00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:18.660
 that

00:22:18.660 --> 00:22:18.840
 could

00:22:18.840 --> 00:22:19.180
 be

00:22:19.180 --> 00:22:19.920
 our

00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:20.759
 desire

00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:21.220
 our

00:22:21.220 --> 00:22:21.640
 longing

00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:21.860
 our

00:22:21.860 --> 00:22:22.160
 big

00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:22.759
 resolution

00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:23.019
 our

00:22:23.019 --> 00:22:23.220
 big

00:22:23.220 --> 00:22:23.660
 hope

00:22:23.660 --> 00:22:23.900
 and

00:22:23.900 --> 00:22:24.140
 dream

00:22:24.140 --> 00:22:24.360
 for

00:22:24.360 --> 00:22:24.579
 this

00:22:24.579 --> 00:22:24.880
 year

00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:27.779
 we've

00:22:27.779 --> 00:22:27.920
 just

00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:28.220
 crossed

00:22:28.220 --> 00:22:28.400
 the

00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:28.779
 threshold

00:22:28.779 --> 00:22:29.079
 from

00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:29.640
 2019

00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:30.680
 into

00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:31.240
 2020

00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:32.819
 I

00:22:32.819 --> 00:22:32.920
 don't

00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:33.039
 know

00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:33.240
 about

00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:33.400
 you

00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:33.620
 but

00:22:33.620 --> 00:22:33.900
 I

00:22:33.900 --> 00:22:34.220
 have

00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:34.660
 hopes

00:22:34.660 --> 00:22:35.599
 for

00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:35.799
 this

00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:36.000
 year

00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:36.299
 ahead

00:22:36.299 --> 00:22:36.480
 I

00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:36.720
 have

00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:37.220
 dreams

00:22:37.220 --> 00:22:37.420
 I

00:22:37.420 --> 00:22:37.660
 have

00:22:37.660 --> 00:22:38.339
 things

00:22:38.339 --> 00:22:38.480
 that

00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:38.640
 I'm

00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:38.920
 longing

00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:39.359
 for

00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:40.299
 in

00:22:40.299 --> 00:22:40.420
 my

00:22:40.420 --> 00:22:40.599
 own

00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:40.960
 life

00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:41.160
 and

00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:41.500
 in

00:22:41.500 --> 00:22:41.839
 our

00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:42.279
 church

00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:42.960
 in

00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:43.120
 this

00:22:43.120 --> 00:22:43.579
 community

00:22:43.579 --> 00:22:44.019
 and

00:22:44.019 --> 00:22:44.640
 my

00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:45.099
 family

00:22:45.099 --> 00:22:45.920
 in

00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:46.079
 my

00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:46.660
 relationships

00:22:46.660 --> 00:22:46.960
 with

00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:47.359
 people

00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:49.240
 but

00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:49.439
 what

00:22:49.439 --> 00:22:49.599
 is

00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:49.799
 that

00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:50.099
 thing

00:22:50.099 --> 00:22:50.279
 that

00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:50.419
 I

00:22:50.419 --> 00:22:50.639
 should

00:22:50.639 --> 00:22:51.000
 long

00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:51.479
 for

00:22:51.479 --> 00:22:52.419
 most

00:22:52.419 --> 00:22:53.639
 what's

00:22:53.639 --> 00:22:53.799
 that

00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:54.179
 one

00:22:54.179 --> 00:22:54.579
 thing

00:22:54.579 --> 00:22:54.779
 that

00:22:54.779 --> 00:22:54.919
 I

00:22:54.919 --> 00:22:55.099
 should

00:22:55.099 --> 00:22:55.479
 ask

00:22:55.479 --> 00:22:55.799
 God

00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:56.059
 for

00:22:56.059 --> 00:22:56.259
 more

00:22:56.259 --> 00:22:56.419
 than

00:22:56.419 --> 00:22:56.779
 anything

00:22:56.779 --> 00:22:57.179
 else

00:22:57.179 --> 00:22:57.419
 the

00:22:57.419 --> 00:22:57.619
 thing

00:22:57.619 --> 00:22:57.759
 that

00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:57.939
 is

00:22:57.939 --> 00:22:58.500
 supremely

00:22:58.500 --> 00:22:59.019
 valuable

00:22:59.019 --> 00:23:00.419
 that

00:23:00.419 --> 00:23:00.539
 will

00:23:00.539 --> 00:23:00.740
 make

00:23:00.740 --> 00:23:01.059
 all

00:23:01.059 --> 00:23:01.279
 the

00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:01.719
 difference

00:23:01.719 --> 00:23:01.939
 in

00:23:01.939 --> 00:23:02.139
 this

00:23:02.139 --> 00:23:02.419
 year

00:23:02.419 --> 00:23:03.059
 what's

00:23:03.059 --> 00:23:03.199
 the

00:23:03.199 --> 00:23:03.439
 thing

00:23:03.439 --> 00:23:03.619
 that

00:23:03.619 --> 00:23:03.819
 I

00:23:03.819 --> 00:23:03.979
 want

00:23:03.979 --> 00:23:04.079
 to

00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:04.259
 look

00:23:04.259 --> 00:23:04.579
 back

00:23:04.579 --> 00:23:04.759
 on

00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:05.240
 2020

00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:05.679
 as

00:23:05.679 --> 00:23:05.899
 being

00:23:05.899 --> 00:23:06.139
 the

00:23:06.139 --> 00:23:06.500
 year

00:23:06.500 --> 00:23:07.039
 that

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:07.419
 that

00:23:07.419 --> 00:23:08.079
 happened

00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:12.859
 I

00:23:12.859 --> 00:23:13.019
 want

00:23:13.019 --> 00:23:13.119
 to

00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:13.259
 look

00:23:13.259 --> 00:23:13.539
 back

00:23:13.539 --> 00:23:13.699
 on

00:23:13.699 --> 00:23:14.119
 2020

00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:14.519
 and

00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:14.899
 remember

00:23:14.899 --> 00:23:15.079
 it

00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:15.240
 is

00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:15.399
 the

00:23:15.399 --> 00:23:15.719
 year

00:23:15.719 --> 00:23:16.399
 that

00:23:16.399 --> 00:23:16.740
 I

00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:17.599
 saw

00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:18.279
 just

00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:18.500
 as

00:23:18.500 --> 00:23:18.819
 John

00:23:18.819 --> 00:23:19.139
 did

00:23:19.139 --> 00:23:19.659
 the

00:23:19.659 --> 00:23:20.199
 glory

00:23:20.199 --> 00:23:21.079
 of

00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:21.519
 Jesus

00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:22.699
 in

00:23:22.699 --> 00:23:22.879
 a

00:23:22.879 --> 00:23:23.379
 deeper

00:23:23.379 --> 00:23:23.839
 way

00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:24.779
 than

00:23:24.779 --> 00:23:24.899
 I

00:23:24.899 --> 00:23:25.119
 ever

00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:25.339
 had

00:23:25.339 --> 00:23:25.779
 before

00:23:25.779 --> 00:23:26.019
 I

00:23:26.019 --> 00:23:26.159
 want

00:23:26.159 --> 00:23:26.299
 to

00:23:26.299 --> 00:23:26.659
 remember

00:23:26.659 --> 00:23:27.219
 2020

00:23:27.219 --> 00:23:27.519
 is

00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:27.639
 the

00:23:27.639 --> 00:23:27.779
 year

00:23:27.779 --> 00:23:27.919
 that

00:23:27.919 --> 00:23:28.079
 I

00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:28.259
 got

00:23:28.259 --> 00:23:28.459
 to

00:23:28.459 --> 00:23:28.759
 know

00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:29.219
 God

00:23:29.219 --> 00:23:29.819
 in

00:23:29.819 --> 00:23:30.859
 sweeter

00:23:30.859 --> 00:23:31.419
 deeper

00:23:31.419 --> 00:23:31.759
 more

00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:32.240
 precious

00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:32.839
 ways

00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:33.519
 than

00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:33.639
 I

00:23:33.639 --> 00:23:33.799
 had

00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:34.059
 known

00:23:34.059 --> 00:23:34.259
 him

00:23:34.259 --> 00:23:34.759
 before

00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:39.240
 and

00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:39.399
 I'm

00:23:39.399 --> 00:23:39.719
 crazy

00:23:39.719 --> 00:23:39.979
 enough

00:23:39.979 --> 00:23:40.179
 to

00:23:40.179 --> 00:23:40.500
 believe

00:23:40.500 --> 00:23:40.740
 that

00:23:40.740 --> 00:23:41.259
 if

00:23:41.259 --> 00:23:41.740
 we

00:23:41.740 --> 00:23:42.000
 make

00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:42.319
 that

00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:42.559
 our

00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:42.979
 great

00:23:42.979 --> 00:23:43.500

 prayer

00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:45.299
 request

00:23:45.299 --> 00:23:45.539
 for

00:23:45.539 --> 00:23:45.740
 the

00:23:45.740 --> 00:23:46.139
 year

00:23:46.140 --> 00:23:48.680
 that

00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:49.060
 every

00:23:49.060 --> 00:23:49.420
 other

00:23:49.420 --> 00:23:49.840
 area

00:23:49.840 --> 00:23:50.140
 of

00:23:50.140 --> 00:23:50.320
 our

00:23:50.320 --> 00:23:50.680
 lives

00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:50.840
 will

00:23:50.840 --> 00:23:50.960
 be

00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:51.340
 affected

00:23:51.340 --> 00:23:51.640
 as

00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:51.920
 well

00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:54.220
 our

00:23:54.220 --> 00:23:54.660
 marriages

00:23:54.660 --> 00:23:56.040
 will be

00:23:56.040 --> 00:23:56.580
 changed
