WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.120
 So great to be back this morning to worship with you all.

00:00:07.339 --> 00:00:08.800
 I missed you guys last week.

00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:13.740
 And it's, as Steve was saying, and we're just,

00:00:14.259 --> 00:00:16.000
 and he preached about actually last week,

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:20.500
 we're just like groomsmen or all the servants of God

00:00:20.500 --> 00:00:24.039
 watching on as Christ is united to his church, his bride.

00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:29.219
 So that's why it's okay for me to not be here

00:00:29.219 --> 00:00:31.239
 and the church goes on because the church doesn't belong to me.

00:00:31.379 --> 00:00:33.119
 It belongs to God, right?

00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.799
 And so I was sad, but I'm eager because I'm also one of his sheep

00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:38.600
 and this is the group that I've covenanted with.

00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:39.439
 It's the church.

00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:44.299
 I'm excited and there's joy for me as I worship with you.

00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:46.939
 And as we turn to this passage,

00:00:47.060 --> 00:00:49.460
 I want you to think for a moment with me

00:00:49.460 --> 00:00:52.939
 about your greatest unfulfilled desire.

00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:56.820
 Just think about it for a moment, what it might be.

00:00:56.820 --> 00:01:01.439
 Maybe it's a dream job that appears far-fetched at the moment

00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:03.439
 or a big breakthrough in your career.

00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:05.739
 Maybe it's a spouse.

00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.439
 You really longed for a spouse, a husband or a wife,

00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:10.900
 to spend the rest of your life with.

00:01:11.700 --> 00:01:14.799
 Maybe it's just getting really rich

00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:17.260
 and you fantasize about all the things you might be able to do

00:01:17.260 --> 00:01:18.379
 with that much money.

00:01:19.039 --> 00:01:21.500
 Or maybe you're just a little more hedonistic.

00:01:21.500 --> 00:01:25.780
 You'd rather live, eat good food, drink, and be merry.

00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:29.060
 Or maybe you're one of those simple folks

00:01:29.060 --> 00:01:34.079
 who just want to enjoy a stress-free life with your loved ones.

00:01:34.700 --> 00:01:37.200
 Whatever that may be, what if I told you right now

00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:41.579
 that I can tell you exactly how you can attain those things?

00:01:41.579 --> 00:01:46.579
 Then I can guarantee you that the number of attendees

00:01:46.579 --> 00:01:49.239
 at our church services would swell astronomically.

00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:51.840
 Because desire is a powerful motivator.

00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.259
 People do things that they seek.

00:01:54.939 --> 00:01:57.280
 And who would be foolish to refuse such an offer?

00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:00.500
 And you'd think that in this passage,

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.120
 Jesus here taps into the desires of the Samaritan woman

00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:05.120
 in a similar way.

00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:06.640
 But he doesn't stop there.

00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:09.379
 He doesn't offer her what she seeks.

00:02:09.379 --> 00:02:11.539
 But he peers into her very soul

00:02:11.539 --> 00:02:14.079
 and peels back the layers of self-protection

00:02:14.079 --> 00:02:17.060
 that she had propped up against other people

00:02:17.060 --> 00:02:18.599
 to hide her sin and shame.

00:02:19.340 --> 00:02:20.099
 And then by doing so,

00:02:20.139 --> 00:02:23.280
 Jesus exposes the woman's deepest,

00:02:23.539 --> 00:02:26.519
 most fundamental need and desire.

00:02:26.900 --> 00:02:28.859
 And that, namely, is eternal life.

00:02:29.340 --> 00:02:30.719
 And so it says, this passage teaches that

00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:32.659
 we can enjoy eternal life

00:02:32.659 --> 00:02:35.979
 through the spirit and truth of Jesus Christ.

00:02:36.139 --> 00:02:37.519
 That's the main point of this passage.

00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.380
 And I'm going to talk first about the promise of eternal life.

00:02:40.740 --> 00:02:43.620
 And then secondly, the condition for the eternal life

00:02:43.620 --> 00:02:44.960
 that Jesus tells us about.

00:02:45.820 --> 00:02:49.060
 So this unusual encounter occurs in Samaria

00:02:49.060 --> 00:02:50.879
 in a town called Sychar.

00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.600
 Verse 1, he tells us that Jesus learned

00:02:53.600 --> 00:02:57.020
 that the Pharisees took notice of Jesus' increasing popularity.

00:02:57.340 --> 00:02:58.620
 Now that's an ominous sign

00:02:58.620 --> 00:03:02.240
 because the Pharisees are already watching John the Baptist

00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:03.620
 because he was so popular

00:03:03.620 --> 00:03:05.760
 and well-regarded by the people.

00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:08.560
 And so they saw him as a threat

00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:10.099
 to their own authority and popularity.

00:03:10.579 --> 00:03:11.679
 And they're noticing now

00:03:11.679 --> 00:03:13.919
 that Jesus is attracting even more people

00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:15.179
 than John the Baptist.

00:03:15.539 --> 00:03:16.759
 So they feel threatened.

00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:18.819
 And so Jesus perceiving this

00:03:18.819 --> 00:03:21.179
 and recognizing that his hour,

00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:23.159
 the hour of his death is not yet,

00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:25.759
 doesn't want to prematurely end his ministry.

00:03:25.899 --> 00:03:28.359
 So he moves away from that place.

00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:30.680
 He had already had a conflict

00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:33.039
 with the Pharisees and the religious rulers

00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:35.340
 in chapter 2 at the temple complex.

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.879
 So he leaves Judea and departs again for Galilee,

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:40.620
 he says in verses 3 and 4.

00:03:40.819 --> 00:03:41.899
 And in order to do that,

00:03:41.939 --> 00:03:43.379
 he had to pass through Samaria.

00:03:43.739 --> 00:03:45.659
 That's the normal route that you go through.

00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:48.399
 And it says in verse 6

00:03:48.399 --> 00:03:50.919
 that Jesus, wearied as he was from his journey,

00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:53.180
 was sitting beside the well.

00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.620
 It was about the sixth hour.

00:03:55.620 --> 00:03:58.000
 And that's not an extraneous detail

00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.500
 because Jews count their hours

00:04:00.500 --> 00:04:03.900
 beginning with, not at midnight,

00:04:04.300 --> 00:04:05.680
 but beginning with sunrise.

00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:07.420
 So if you count from sunrise,

00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:09.620
 this is probably approximately noon,

00:04:09.900 --> 00:04:11.420
 which is the hottest part of the day.

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:13.700
 So Jesus, understandably,

00:04:13.860 --> 00:04:15.620
 is wary from his journey.

00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:17.459
 He's tired and he's thirsty

00:04:17.459 --> 00:04:20.220
 as he sits under the heat of the sun.

00:04:21.699 --> 00:04:23.780
 And then, so he stops because he's thirsty

00:04:23.779 --> 00:04:25.099
 and he rests at the well.

00:04:25.339 --> 00:04:26.459
 And this woman is there.

00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:28.859
 So read verses 7 to 9 with me.

00:04:29.619 --> 00:04:32.299
 A woman from Samaria came to draw water

00:04:32.299 --> 00:04:33.959
 and Jesus said to her,

00:04:34.459 --> 00:04:35.179
 Give me a drink.

00:04:36.139 --> 00:04:37.579
 For his disciples had gone away

00:04:37.579 --> 00:04:38.739
 into the city to buy food.

00:04:39.419 --> 00:04:40.939
 The Samaritan woman said to him,

00:04:41.419 --> 00:04:44.019
 How is it that you, a Jew,

00:04:44.739 --> 00:04:46.500
 ask for a drink from me,

00:04:47.219 --> 00:04:49.159
 a woman of Samaria?

00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:53.079
 For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

00:04:53.779 --> 00:04:56.000
 A woman from Samaria.

00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:57.659
 That's a significant detail

00:04:57.659 --> 00:04:59.180
 because as it tells us in verse 9,

00:04:59.259 --> 00:05:00.959
 Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:03.519
 That's a slightly erroneous translation.

00:05:03.859 --> 00:05:05.279
 It doesn't actually mean

00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:07.079
 that the Jews have no dealings with Samaritans

00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:08.579
 because as you see in verse 8,

00:05:08.979 --> 00:05:10.939
 the Jesus' disciples are dealing with Samaritans.

00:05:11.019 --> 00:05:12.279
 They're going into a Samaritan city

00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:13.979
 and they're buying food.

00:05:14.259 --> 00:05:15.860
 So it's not saying that the Jews

00:05:15.860 --> 00:05:17.199
 have no dealings with Samaritans,

00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:19.599
 but the word that means have dealing with

00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:21.600
 is more commonly translated

00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:23.280
 as to use together with.

00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.080
 So it's referring to using the same utensils,

00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:27.480
 using the same vessels.

00:05:27.980 --> 00:05:29.860
 So here it better be translated as

00:05:29.860 --> 00:05:31.660
 Jews do not use the same cups

00:05:31.660 --> 00:05:33.540
 or vessels with Samaritans

00:05:33.540 --> 00:05:34.340
 because they believe that

00:05:34.340 --> 00:05:36.220
 that caused ritual impurity.

00:05:36.520 --> 00:05:37.860
 So they didn't want to do that.

00:05:38.500 --> 00:05:40.180
 And in order to understand

00:05:40.180 --> 00:05:41.480
 this animosity, hostility

00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:42.740
 between Jews and Samaritans,

00:05:42.780 --> 00:05:43.680
 we have to delve a little bit

00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.540
 into the history of Israel.

00:05:45.540 --> 00:05:48.220
 And I'll be brief in this,

00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.540
 but Israel was divided into two kingdoms,

00:05:50.640 --> 00:05:51.439
 the northern kingdom

00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:52.660
 and the southern kingdom.

00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:53.900
 And the northern kingdom

00:05:53.900 --> 00:05:57.680
 was invaded by the Assyrian kingdom.

00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:59.980
 And they defeated Israel

00:05:59.980 --> 00:06:02.240
 and then they exiled all Jews

00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:04.140
 basically of any kind of substance

00:06:04.140 --> 00:06:05.400
 or means or importance

00:06:05.400 --> 00:06:07.560
 to their country, their kingdom.

00:06:08.660 --> 00:06:11.259
 And after having exiled them,

00:06:11.259 --> 00:06:13.240
 they settled, resettled the land

00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:14.220
 with their own people,

00:06:14.320 --> 00:06:14.840
 with foreigners.

00:06:15.540 --> 00:06:17.180
 This was about 722 BC.

00:06:17.939 --> 00:06:19.439
 Second Kings talks about this

00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:20.700
 in chapters 17 and 18.

00:06:21.420 --> 00:06:22.960
 And so because of that,

00:06:23.200 --> 00:06:24.800
 after these foreigners came in,

00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:25.720
 the Jews that remained,

00:06:25.840 --> 00:06:27.200
 they're intermarried with them

00:06:27.200 --> 00:06:29.620
 and produced what would be

00:06:29.620 --> 00:06:32.360
 basically a syncretized religion,

00:06:32.840 --> 00:06:34.240
 a syncretistic religion,

00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:35.720
 not a true Judaism,

00:06:35.840 --> 00:06:37.540
 not a true faith in God,

00:06:37.840 --> 00:06:38.939
 but a syncretized,

00:06:38.960 --> 00:06:40.720
 it's an intermixed religion.

00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:42.220
 So from this,

00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:43.120
 because of this,

00:06:43.220 --> 00:06:44.160
 Jews saw Samaritans

00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.240
 not only as political rebels,

00:06:46.740 --> 00:06:48.720
 people who basically paid allegiance

00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:49.740
 to the Assyrian kingdom,

00:06:49.740 --> 00:06:52.240
 but also as racial half-breeds

00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:53.720
 because they are not pure Jews.

00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:54.660
 And then thirdly,

00:06:54.760 --> 00:06:56.840
 also as religious outcasts

00:06:56.840 --> 00:06:58.040
 because they were not holding

00:06:58.040 --> 00:06:59.860
 to the true religion of the Jews.

00:07:00.300 --> 00:07:01.540
 So there is religious,

00:07:01.780 --> 00:07:02.060
 political,

00:07:02.060 --> 00:07:03.060
 and racial tension,

00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:05.140
 hostility, animosity.

00:07:05.139 --> 00:07:06.639
 I mean,

00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:08.560
 that tension that existed

00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:09.379
 between them,

00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:10.439
 you know,

00:07:10.479 --> 00:07:12.339
 makes the divisiveness

00:07:12.339 --> 00:07:14.039
 of the current presidential election

00:07:14.039 --> 00:07:14.699
 like, you know,

00:07:14.779 --> 00:07:15.620
 child's play, right?

00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:17.259
 This is a serious animosity.

00:07:18.539 --> 00:07:19.399
 And the Samaritans

00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:21.479
 only accepted the Pentateuch,

00:07:21.599 --> 00:07:23.879
 which is the first five books

00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:25.060
 of the Bible as scripture.

00:07:25.719 --> 00:07:27.300
 And so that led to different ideas

00:07:27.300 --> 00:07:28.759
 about how worship should happen.

00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:31.659
 And the chief among the differences

00:07:31.660 --> 00:07:34.020
 was where worship should take place.

00:07:34.520 --> 00:07:35.660
 And the Jews believed

00:07:35.660 --> 00:07:37.100
 that the temple in Jerusalem

00:07:37.100 --> 00:07:37.820
 was the place

00:07:37.820 --> 00:07:38.840
 where they ought to worship.

00:07:39.200 --> 00:07:40.720
 But because the Samaritans

00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:41.680
 didn't accept the portions

00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.180
 of scripture that talked about that,

00:07:43.500 --> 00:07:44.680
 they believed that they were

00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:45.580
 supposed to worship God

00:07:45.580 --> 00:07:47.080
 on Mount Gerizim.

00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:48.860
 And that there,

00:07:48.960 --> 00:07:50.800
 they erected their own rival temple

00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.500
 around 400 BC.

00:07:54.060 --> 00:07:54.960
 And then that temple,

00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:56.780
 just about two centuries later,

00:07:56.840 --> 00:07:58.440
 was destroyed by a Jewish ruler.

00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:00.839
 So there's a lot of conflict

00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:01.860
 and tension going on.

00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:04.060
 And so she's shocked

00:08:04.060 --> 00:08:06.339
 that it's remarkable

00:08:06.339 --> 00:08:07.300
 that Jesus is asking

00:08:07.300 --> 00:08:10.160
 the Samaritan woman for a drink.

00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:12.319
 And in order to do so,

00:08:12.339 --> 00:08:13.060
 he would also have to share

00:08:13.060 --> 00:08:13.759
 the same vessel,

00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:14.680
 same cup.

00:08:15.819 --> 00:08:17.139
 And not only is Jesus asking

00:08:17.139 --> 00:08:18.420
 for a drink from a Samaritan,

00:08:18.579 --> 00:08:19.920
 he's also asking for a drink

00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:21.159
 from a Samaritan woman.

00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.639
 Within a generation of Jesus' life,

00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:27.159
 Jewish leaders would codify a law

00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:28.700
 in the Mishnah

00:08:28.700 --> 00:08:30.760
 that reflected long-standing

00:08:30.760 --> 00:08:31.720
 popular sentiment

00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:32.440
 and prejudice

00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:33.740
 towards Samaritan woman

00:08:33.740 --> 00:08:34.460
 in particular.

00:08:35.300 --> 00:08:35.840
 And in fact,

00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:36.540
 it says this,

00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:37.120
 it's a quote,

00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:38.820
 the daughters of the Samaritans

00:08:38.820 --> 00:08:39.779
 are menstruants

00:08:39.779 --> 00:08:40.600
 from their cradle

00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:42.560
 and therefore in a perpetual state

00:08:42.560 --> 00:08:44.019
 of ceremonial uncleanness.

00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:45.660
 So this is what they believed.

00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:48.279
 Jesus has no regard

00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:50.600
 for the sexism of his day.

00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:51.139
 Right?

00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:52.680
 And this Samaritan woman

00:08:52.680 --> 00:08:54.139
 who had apparently grown accustomed

00:08:54.139 --> 00:08:55.180
 to being ignored

00:08:55.179 --> 00:08:55.859
 and overlooked

00:08:55.859 --> 00:08:56.799
 and disrespected

00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:58.279
 is shocked that Jesus

00:08:58.279 --> 00:08:59.739
 would approach her

00:08:59.739 --> 00:09:00.439
 and speak to her

00:09:00.439 --> 00:09:01.500
 and ask her for a drink.

00:09:02.139 --> 00:09:03.839
 But she doesn't realize

00:09:03.839 --> 00:09:05.219
 that instead of being

00:09:05.219 --> 00:09:06.319
 ceremonially defiled

00:09:06.319 --> 00:09:07.519
 by contact with Samaritans,

00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:08.899
 Jesus purifies

00:09:08.899 --> 00:09:10.319
 everything he touches,

00:09:10.500 --> 00:09:11.099
 everyone he comes

00:09:11.099 --> 00:09:11.939
 into contact with.

00:09:12.539 --> 00:09:13.339
 But at this point,

00:09:13.419 --> 00:09:14.139
 she doesn't know this,

00:09:14.179 --> 00:09:15.219
 so she's probably really

00:09:15.219 --> 00:09:17.379
 thinking to herself,

00:09:17.500 --> 00:09:17.639
 man,

00:09:17.719 --> 00:09:18.620
 this man must be

00:09:18.620 --> 00:09:19.419
 really parched.

00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:20.959
 He must be desperately thirsty,

00:09:21.099 --> 00:09:21.919
 really dying of thirst.

00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:24.299
 if he's asking me,

00:09:24.379 --> 00:09:25.779
 a Samaritan woman,

00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:27.059
 for a drink.

00:09:28.500 --> 00:09:28.939
 Yet,

00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:31.219
 in the next response of Jesus,

00:09:31.319 --> 00:09:32.159
 we see that him

00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:33.779
 reverse this situation

00:09:33.779 --> 00:09:35.240
 and to show her

00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:36.279
 not that she,

00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:37.019
 he's not the one

00:09:37.019 --> 00:09:37.879
 that really needs a drink,

00:09:37.959 --> 00:09:39.199
 but rather she's the one

00:09:39.199 --> 00:09:40.099
 that desperately needs

00:09:40.099 --> 00:09:41.639
 a drink of a different kind.

00:09:42.079 --> 00:09:42.740
 So verse 10,

00:09:42.860 --> 00:09:43.799
 Jesus says to her,

00:09:44.259 --> 00:09:46.360
 if you knew the gift of God

00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:47.360
 and who it is

00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:48.379
 that is saying to you,

00:09:48.819 --> 00:09:49.559
 give me a drink,

00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:51.299
 you would have asked him

00:09:51.299 --> 00:09:53.299
 and he would have given you

00:09:53.299 --> 00:09:54.779
 living water.

00:09:56.199 --> 00:09:58.139
 The woman was at first shocked

00:09:58.139 --> 00:09:59.839
 that Jesus would approach her,

00:09:59.959 --> 00:10:00.459
 speak to her.

00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:01.719
 Now she's confused,

00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:02.239
 right?

00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:03.479
 So she replies

00:10:03.479 --> 00:10:04.979
 in verses 11 to 12,

00:10:05.179 --> 00:10:05.419
 Sir,

00:10:05.959 --> 00:10:07.379
 you have nothing

00:10:07.379 --> 00:10:08.759
 to draw water with

00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:10.059
 and the well is deep.

00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:11.599
 Where do you get

00:10:11.599 --> 00:10:12.399
 that living water?

00:10:12.939 --> 00:10:13.659
 Are you greater

00:10:13.659 --> 00:10:14.719
 than our father Jacob?

00:10:14.859 --> 00:10:15.859
 He gave us the well

00:10:15.859 --> 00:10:17.039
 and drank from it himself,

00:10:17.299 --> 00:10:18.559
 as did his sons

00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:19.559
 and his livestock.

00:10:20.739 --> 00:10:21.559
 So her logic

00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:22.319
 is basically this,

00:10:22.359 --> 00:10:24.179
 even the great patriarch Jacob

00:10:24.179 --> 00:10:25.839
 had to dig his own well

00:10:25.839 --> 00:10:26.919
 in order to provide water

00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:28.059
 for himself and his family.

00:10:28.599 --> 00:10:29.579
 And who are you,

00:10:29.839 --> 00:10:30.219
 basically,

00:10:30.599 --> 00:10:31.719
 to be able to provide

00:10:31.719 --> 00:10:32.679
 this living water

00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:33.399
 when you have nothing

00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:34.419
 to draw water with?

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:35.859
 So the confusion

00:10:35.859 --> 00:10:36.899
 might be a little bit

00:10:36.899 --> 00:10:38.000
 difficult to understand for us

00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:38.599
 because right away

00:10:38.599 --> 00:10:39.939
 when we hear living water,

00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:42.139
 we think of spiritual living water.

00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:43.559
 But living water,

00:10:43.659 --> 00:10:44.699
 the same phrase,

00:10:44.859 --> 00:10:45.619
 is used to refer

00:10:45.620 --> 00:10:47.100
 to fresh running water

00:10:47.100 --> 00:10:48.580
 in the language

00:10:48.580 --> 00:10:49.100
 of these people.

00:10:49.379 --> 00:10:50.799
 So she's probably thinking

00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:52.220
 like fresh running water,

00:10:52.340 --> 00:10:53.600
 so that's why she's confused.

00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.159
 And so Jesus explains,

00:10:56.500 --> 00:10:58.560
 tries to explain this to her.

00:10:59.060 --> 00:11:00.179
 And it's typical

00:11:00.179 --> 00:11:01.080
 in the Gospel of John

00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:02.580
 to have these double meanings,

00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:02.860
 right,

00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.019
 of a deeper spiritual meaning

00:11:05.019 --> 00:11:05.799
 that underlies

00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:07.799
 the physical meaning,

00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:09.299
 the concrete meaning

00:11:09.299 --> 00:11:10.139
 at the top.

00:11:10.560 --> 00:11:11.200
 So the water

00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:12.060
 that Jesus has in mind,

00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:12.360
 of course,

00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:13.440
 is not physical water.

00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:14.100
 So he responds

00:11:14.100 --> 00:11:15.540
 in verses 13 to 14.

00:11:16.660 --> 00:11:18.020
 Everyone who drinks

00:11:18.020 --> 00:11:18.780
 of this water

00:11:18.780 --> 00:11:20.180
 will be thirsty again,

00:11:20.780 --> 00:11:21.760
 but whoever drinks

00:11:21.760 --> 00:11:22.280
 of the water

00:11:22.280 --> 00:11:23.340
 that I will give him

00:11:23.340 --> 00:11:25.480
 will never be thirsty again.

00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:27.740
 The water that I will give him

00:11:27.740 --> 00:11:29.180
 will become in him

00:11:29.180 --> 00:11:30.480
 a spring of water

00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:31.360
 welling up

00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:32.640
 to eternal life.

00:11:34.140 --> 00:11:35.100
 And the background

00:11:35.100 --> 00:11:36.100
 for this living water

00:11:36.100 --> 00:11:37.020
 is the Old Testament.

00:11:37.680 --> 00:11:39.440
 In Jeremiah 2.13,

00:11:39.580 --> 00:11:40.420
 God had declared

00:11:40.420 --> 00:11:42.000
 to an idolatrous people,

00:11:42.180 --> 00:11:42.880
 his own people

00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:43.899
 who had been idolatrous.

00:11:44.439 --> 00:11:45.539
 My people have committed

00:11:45.539 --> 00:11:46.600
 two evils.

00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:50.220
 They have forsaken me,

00:11:50.299 --> 00:11:51.639
 the fountain of living waters,

00:11:52.059 --> 00:11:53.580
 and hewed out cisterns

00:11:53.580 --> 00:11:54.460
 for themselves,

00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:55.980
 broken cisterns

00:11:55.980 --> 00:11:58.179
 that can hold no water.

00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:00.600
 So God says

00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:01.439
 that he himself

00:12:01.439 --> 00:12:02.379
 is the fountain

00:12:02.379 --> 00:12:03.279
 of living water.

00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:05.000
 He is the source of life.

00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:05.840
 He is the source

00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:06.600
 of this living water,

00:12:06.700 --> 00:12:07.840
 just an ending supply

00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.340
 of fresh running water

00:12:09.340 --> 00:12:10.120
 for his people.

00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:11.919
 But instead of him,

00:12:12.060 --> 00:12:13.440
 his people have forsaken him

00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:14.200
 and they've turned

00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:15.320
 to cisterns,

00:12:15.779 --> 00:12:16.899
 the stagnant water

00:12:16.899 --> 00:12:17.840
 of cisterns.

00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:19.980
 And not just a cistern,

00:12:20.060 --> 00:12:21.179
 but a broken cistern

00:12:21.179 --> 00:12:23.139
 that can't even hold water.

00:12:23.700 --> 00:12:24.580
 That's the idols

00:12:24.580 --> 00:12:25.519
 of the nations

00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:26.700
 that Israelites

00:12:26.700 --> 00:12:27.539
 were going after.

00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:30.600
 And that language

00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:31.159
 of living water

00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:31.779
 is picked up

00:12:31.779 --> 00:12:32.799
 by the other prophets

00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:34.059
 and it really comes

00:12:34.059 --> 00:12:34.559
 to a climax

00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:36.120
 in Isaiah 55

00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:37.740
 where God invites

00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:38.240
 his people,

00:12:38.659 --> 00:12:38.699
 come,

00:12:39.099 --> 00:12:40.859
 everyone who thirsts,

00:12:41.059 --> 00:12:42.299
 come to the waters

00:12:42.299 --> 00:12:43.899
 that your soul

00:12:43.899 --> 00:12:45.120
 may live.

00:12:45.939 --> 00:12:47.599
 That's the living water

00:12:47.599 --> 00:12:48.479
 that he has in view

00:12:48.479 --> 00:12:49.519
 that wells up

00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:50.539
 into eternal life.

00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:51.519
 It's not water

00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:52.479
 to parch our thirst,

00:12:52.599 --> 00:12:54.399
 it's to slake our thirst,

00:12:54.620 --> 00:12:55.479
 but it's water

00:12:55.479 --> 00:12:56.179
 for the withered

00:12:56.179 --> 00:12:57.439
 and dried soul.

00:12:58.659 --> 00:13:00.179
 But the Samaritan woman

00:13:00.179 --> 00:13:00.799
 still misunderstands

00:13:01.659 --> 00:13:02.259
 Jesus.

00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:03.939
 And she thinks

00:13:03.939 --> 00:13:05.219
 that he's offering her

00:13:05.219 --> 00:13:06.379
 some kind of miracle water

00:13:06.379 --> 00:13:07.740
 that's going to permanently

00:13:07.740 --> 00:13:10.500
 satisfy her physical thirst.

00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:12.319
 So she says in verse 15,

00:13:12.719 --> 00:13:13.819
 Sir, give me this water

00:13:13.819 --> 00:13:15.059
 so that I will not be thirsty

00:13:15.059 --> 00:13:16.139
 or have to come here

00:13:16.139 --> 00:13:16.759
 to draw water.

00:13:17.479 --> 00:13:19.059
 And it's understandable, right?

00:13:19.079 --> 00:13:19.179
 I mean,

00:13:19.199 --> 00:13:20.339
 if you could find such water,

00:13:20.379 --> 00:13:21.259
 I would want some too.

00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:23.059
 I'd never have to drink again,

00:13:23.139 --> 00:13:23.679
 never have to look

00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:24.659
 for a water fountain again,

00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:25.519
 never have to give up

00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:25.839
 your water

00:13:25.839 --> 00:13:27.199
 at the airport again,

00:13:27.419 --> 00:13:27.939
 and you never have

00:13:27.939 --> 00:13:29.039
 to drink again, right?

00:13:29.439 --> 00:13:30.740
 So she wants it.

00:13:30.740 --> 00:13:32.120
 But this is,

00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:34.120
 this is a problem

00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:35.360
 because what Jesus

00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:35.779
 is offering

00:13:35.779 --> 00:13:37.159
 is so much better

00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:38.019
 than that miracle

00:13:38.019 --> 00:13:38.899
 of physical water.

00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:41.419
 She's settling here

00:13:41.419 --> 00:13:42.100
 for water

00:13:42.100 --> 00:13:42.740
 that will merely

00:13:42.740 --> 00:13:44.139
 quench her physical thirst

00:13:44.139 --> 00:13:45.100
 when Jesus is offering

00:13:45.100 --> 00:13:46.960
 something that's far greater.

00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:48.860
 And so often,

00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:50.100
 that's how we respond

00:13:50.100 --> 00:13:51.000
 to God's grace,

00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:51.759
 his offer

00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:53.179
 that he gives us.

00:13:53.700 --> 00:13:54.679
 And C.S. Lewis

00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:55.659
 puts it this way

00:13:55.659 --> 00:13:56.820
 in his famous essay,

00:13:56.899 --> 00:13:57.600
 The Weight of Glory.

00:13:57.600 --> 00:13:59.779
 If we consider

00:13:59.779 --> 00:14:01.460
 the unblushing promises

00:14:01.460 --> 00:14:02.360
 of reward

00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:04.100
 and the staggering nature

00:14:04.100 --> 00:14:05.120
 of the rewards

00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:06.440
 promised in the Gospels,

00:14:07.040 --> 00:14:08.159
 it would seem

00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:08.740
 that our Lord

00:14:08.740 --> 00:14:09.860
 finds our desires

00:14:09.860 --> 00:14:11.120
 not too strong,

00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:12.540
 but too weak.

00:14:13.820 --> 00:14:15.740
 We are half-hearted creatures,

00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:17.139
 fooling about

00:14:17.139 --> 00:14:18.259
 with drink and sex

00:14:18.259 --> 00:14:18.840
 and ambition

00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:21.019
 when infinite joy

00:14:21.019 --> 00:14:22.340
 is offered us.

00:14:22.340 --> 00:14:24.620
 like an ignorant child

00:14:24.620 --> 00:14:25.759
 who wants to go on

00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:26.759
 making mud pies

00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:27.480
 in a slum

00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:29.019
 because he cannot

00:14:29.019 --> 00:14:30.300
 imagine what is meant

00:14:30.300 --> 00:14:31.000
 by the offer

00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:31.740
 of a holiday

00:14:31.740 --> 00:14:32.600
 at the sea.

00:14:33.220 --> 00:14:34.420
 We are far

00:14:34.420 --> 00:14:36.019
 too easily

00:14:36.019 --> 00:14:36.940
 pleased.

00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:39.780
 The problem

00:14:39.780 --> 00:14:40.899
 of the Smyrton Movement,

00:14:41.060 --> 00:14:42.220
 our problem,

00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:43.360
 is not that our desire

00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.139
 for joy and pleasure

00:14:45.139 --> 00:14:46.100
 is too strong.

00:14:46.259 --> 00:14:47.100
 That's not why

00:14:47.100 --> 00:14:48.139
 we neglect God.

00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:50.340
 We neglect him

00:14:50.340 --> 00:14:50.900
 because

00:14:50.900 --> 00:14:52.000
 and seek satisfaction

00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:52.639
 and other things

00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:54.580
 because our desire

00:14:54.580 --> 00:14:55.840
 for joy and pleasure

00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:56.940
 is too weak.

00:14:57.720 --> 00:14:58.460
 We are far

00:14:58.460 --> 00:15:00.159
 too easily pleased.

00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:01.039
 When God

00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:01.840
 offers us

00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:02.879
 supreme joy,

00:15:03.019 --> 00:15:03.980
 he offers us

00:15:03.980 --> 00:15:05.279
 supreme satisfaction,

00:15:05.700 --> 00:15:06.960
 life to the full,

00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:08.399
 abundant life,

00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:09.500
 instead we settle

00:15:09.500 --> 00:15:10.679
 for lesser joys,

00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:12.240
 lesser pleasures,

00:15:12.820 --> 00:15:13.879
 lesser satisfaction,

00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:15.700
 a lesser life.

00:15:17.779 --> 00:15:18.360
 And I asked you

00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:18.759
 in the beginning

00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:19.679
 to think about

00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:20.539
 what your greatest

00:15:20.539 --> 00:15:21.639
 unfulfilled desire

00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:22.120
 might be.

00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:22.779
 And if that's

00:15:22.779 --> 00:15:23.620
 anything other

00:15:23.620 --> 00:15:25.240
 than perfect,

00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:26.980
 uninterrupted communion

00:15:26.980 --> 00:15:28.259
 with our God,

00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:29.039
 then we're settling

00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:30.419
 for something less

00:15:30.419 --> 00:15:31.720
 than what he intends

00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:32.759
 for us.

00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:34.879
 So let's not settle

00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:35.439
 for water

00:15:35.439 --> 00:15:36.379
 when living water

00:15:36.379 --> 00:15:37.299
 is offered to us

00:15:37.299 --> 00:15:38.159
 or for wealth

00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:38.980
 that we can't keep

00:15:38.980 --> 00:15:39.819
 beyond death

00:15:39.819 --> 00:15:40.939
 when eternal treasures

00:15:40.939 --> 00:15:42.299
 are offered to us.

00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:43.600
 Let's not settle

00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:44.319
 for love

00:15:44.319 --> 00:15:44.960
 and prestige

00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:46.259
 of this world,

00:15:46.340 --> 00:15:46.919
 of men,

00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:48.740
 when eternal love

00:15:48.740 --> 00:15:49.220
 and esteem

00:15:49.220 --> 00:15:50.299
 of our heavenly Father

00:15:50.299 --> 00:15:50.980
 is offered

00:15:50.980 --> 00:15:52.360
 to us.

00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:53.519
 So Christ offers

00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:55.139
 us eternal life.

00:15:55.220 --> 00:15:56.100
 This is the promise

00:15:56.100 --> 00:15:56.980
 of eternal life.

00:15:57.860 --> 00:15:58.560
 My first point,

00:15:59.340 --> 00:16:01.180
 but what must we do

00:16:01.180 --> 00:16:02.180
 to attain

00:16:02.180 --> 00:16:03.799
 eternal life?

00:16:04.680 --> 00:16:05.639
 And that's

00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:06.879
 what Jesus now

00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:07.299
 turns to,

00:16:07.340 --> 00:16:07.899
 the condition

00:16:07.899 --> 00:16:09.440
 for the eternal life.

00:16:09.700 --> 00:16:10.159
 Look with me

00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:11.100
 verses 16

00:16:11.100 --> 00:16:12.320
 to 18.

00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:13.600
 So Jesus sees

00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:14.340
 that the woman

00:16:14.340 --> 00:16:14.960
 has still

00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:16.440
 misunderstood him

00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:17.139
 yet again.

00:16:17.820 --> 00:16:19.040
 So Jesus changes

00:16:19.040 --> 00:16:19.639
 course

00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:20.420
 and now he

00:16:20.420 --> 00:16:21.160
 peels back

00:16:21.160 --> 00:16:21.580
 the layers

00:16:21.580 --> 00:16:22.440
 of this woman's life

00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:23.280
 to expose

00:16:23.280 --> 00:16:25.100
 the sin

00:16:25.100 --> 00:16:26.080
 and the past

00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:26.840
 that she's hiding

00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:27.680
 in order to

00:16:27.680 --> 00:16:28.800
 expose her true need

00:16:28.800 --> 00:16:29.620
 and heal her shame.

00:16:29.700 --> 00:16:30.680
 So look at verse 16.

00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:31.740
 He tells her

00:16:31.740 --> 00:16:32.180
 abruptly,

00:16:32.740 --> 00:16:32.960
 go,

00:16:33.899 --> 00:16:34.820
 call your husband

00:16:34.820 --> 00:16:35.980
 and come here.

00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:38.220
 And the woman

00:16:38.220 --> 00:16:39.580
 responds

00:16:39.580 --> 00:16:40.460
 in a kind of

00:16:40.460 --> 00:16:40.780
 curt,

00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:41.720
 defensive manner.

00:16:41.820 --> 00:16:42.759
 She says in verse 17,

00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:43.920
 I have no husband.

00:16:45.259 --> 00:16:45.780
 Well,

00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:46.440
 she's evading

00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:47.379
 Jesus' command here

00:16:47.379 --> 00:16:48.420
 because her statement

00:16:48.420 --> 00:16:49.860
 that she has no husband

00:16:49.860 --> 00:16:51.360
 is formally true

00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:52.160
 but it really doesn't

00:16:52.160 --> 00:16:53.100
 reveal half the truth

00:16:53.100 --> 00:16:54.320
 because she's been married

00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:55.660
 five times.

00:16:56.740 --> 00:16:57.460
 She's had

00:16:57.460 --> 00:16:58.320
 five husbands.

00:16:59.259 --> 00:17:00.440
 So Jesus responds

00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:01.800
 in verses 17 to 18,

00:17:02.160 --> 00:17:02.740
 you are right

00:17:02.740 --> 00:17:03.300
 in saying

00:17:03.300 --> 00:17:04.220
 I have no husband

00:17:04.220 --> 00:17:04.940
 for you have had

00:17:04.940 --> 00:17:05.720
 five husbands

00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:07.079
 and the one you now have

00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:08.100
 is not your husband.

00:17:08.579 --> 00:17:09.480
 What you have said

00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:10.319
 is true.

00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:12.279
 Jesus gets

00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:13.440
 right to the heart

00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:14.319
 of the woman

00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:15.419
 need

00:17:15.419 --> 00:17:17.359
 because we learn here

00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:18.619
 not only was this woman

00:17:18.619 --> 00:17:19.639
 a Samaritan

00:17:19.639 --> 00:17:21.480
 but she was also

00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:22.399
 promiscuous.

00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:23.879
 The claim that she

00:17:23.879 --> 00:17:24.579
 has no husband

00:17:24.579 --> 00:17:25.419
 is not true.

00:17:25.500 --> 00:17:26.039
 She's been married

00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:27.200
 to five husbands

00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:27.659
 which means

00:17:27.659 --> 00:17:28.740
 either she got divorced

00:17:28.740 --> 00:17:30.279
 or the husband's

00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:30.879
 passed away.

00:17:31.179 --> 00:17:31.579
 There's probably

00:17:31.579 --> 00:17:32.639
 a mix of both in there

00:17:32.639 --> 00:17:34.779
 and so she is seen

00:17:34.779 --> 00:17:35.740
 by her community

00:17:35.740 --> 00:17:36.419
 people as

00:17:36.419 --> 00:17:37.480
 a woman

00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:38.500
 with failed marriages

00:17:38.500 --> 00:17:39.240
 five times

00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:42.079
 and not only that

00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:43.019
 she's not cohabiting

00:17:43.019 --> 00:17:43.980
 with another man

00:17:43.980 --> 00:17:45.259
 who is not even

00:17:45.259 --> 00:17:45.859
 her husband

00:17:45.859 --> 00:17:47.059
 which is

00:17:47.059 --> 00:17:48.099
 condemned

00:17:48.099 --> 00:17:48.620
 throughout

00:17:48.620 --> 00:17:49.859
 the Old Testament.

00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:52.099
 So Jesus

00:17:52.099 --> 00:17:52.900
 gently pushes back

00:17:52.900 --> 00:17:53.200
 the curtain

00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:54.059
 to reveal this

00:17:54.059 --> 00:17:55.539
 and this is

00:17:55.539 --> 00:17:56.279
 the real reason

00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:56.779
 we find

00:17:56.779 --> 00:17:57.559
 now that

00:17:57.559 --> 00:17:58.380
 she came

00:17:58.380 --> 00:17:58.839
 to the well

00:17:58.839 --> 00:17:59.279
 alone

00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:00.660
 because it was

00:18:00.660 --> 00:18:02.299
 typical of the time

00:18:02.299 --> 00:18:02.880
 for the woman

00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:04.059
 to come together

00:18:04.059 --> 00:18:04.599
 in groups

00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:05.419
 to the well

00:18:05.419 --> 00:18:06.579
 to keep company

00:18:06.579 --> 00:18:07.459
 and for safety

00:18:07.459 --> 00:18:08.599
 but she comes

00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:09.399
 in isolation

00:18:09.399 --> 00:18:10.339
 she comes alone

00:18:10.339 --> 00:18:11.619
 and this

00:18:11.619 --> 00:18:12.459
 was the reason

00:18:12.459 --> 00:18:13.500
 why she came

00:18:13.500 --> 00:18:14.799
 at the sixth hour

00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:16.159
 at the hottest part

00:18:16.159 --> 00:18:16.639
 of the day

00:18:16.639 --> 00:18:17.059
 noon

00:18:17.059 --> 00:18:18.299
 when typically

00:18:18.299 --> 00:18:19.079
 women would come

00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:19.959
 to draw water

00:18:19.959 --> 00:18:20.639
 in the morning

00:18:20.639 --> 00:18:22.279
 or in the later afternoon

00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:23.699
 in the cool of the day

00:18:23.699 --> 00:18:24.619
 she comes

00:18:24.619 --> 00:18:25.559
 at the hottest part

00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:25.799
 of the day

00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:26.519
 to avoid

00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:27.759
 being seen

00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:28.419
 avoid

00:18:28.419 --> 00:18:29.879
 in isolation

00:18:29.879 --> 00:18:31.139
 in shame

00:18:31.139 --> 00:18:33.899
 and other women

00:18:33.900 --> 00:18:34.820
 in the community

00:18:34.820 --> 00:18:35.320
 no doubt

00:18:35.320 --> 00:18:36.019
 saw her

00:18:36.019 --> 00:18:37.060
 as a threat

00:18:37.060 --> 00:18:38.320
 to their own marriages

00:18:38.320 --> 00:18:40.540
 because here's this woman

00:18:40.540 --> 00:18:41.600
 who's now living

00:18:41.600 --> 00:18:42.120
 with a man

00:18:42.120 --> 00:18:43.640
 who's not her husband

00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:45.240
 and all the other husbands

00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:46.440
 and as the women

00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:47.460
 look on their own husbands

00:18:47.460 --> 00:18:48.220
 they see her

00:18:48.220 --> 00:18:48.960
 as a threat

00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:50.140
 because they see

00:18:50.140 --> 00:18:51.080
 that she's available

00:18:51.080 --> 00:18:52.380
 they see that she's

00:18:52.380 --> 00:18:53.060
 promiscuous

00:18:53.060 --> 00:18:55.300
 so she is shunned

00:18:55.300 --> 00:18:56.380
 she's a pariah

00:18:56.380 --> 00:18:57.460
 an outcast

00:18:57.460 --> 00:18:59.400
 and I think

00:18:59.400 --> 00:18:59.940
 John

00:18:59.940 --> 00:19:00.720
 intentionally

00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:01.620
 juxtaposes

00:19:01.620 --> 00:19:03.080
 the encounter

00:19:03.080 --> 00:19:03.500
 of Jesus

00:19:03.500 --> 00:19:04.960
 with Nicodemus

00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:07.220
 and the Samaritan woman

00:19:07.220 --> 00:19:09.279
 because Nicodemus

00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:10.460
 was learned

00:19:10.460 --> 00:19:11.859
 he was influential

00:19:11.859 --> 00:19:13.279
 respected

00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:14.660
 and theologically

00:19:14.660 --> 00:19:15.799
 orthodox

00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:16.220
 right

00:19:16.220 --> 00:19:16.819
 he knew all

00:19:16.819 --> 00:19:17.619
 the right answers

00:19:17.619 --> 00:19:19.440
 the Samaritan

00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:20.740
 was unschooled

00:19:20.740 --> 00:19:23.059
 without any influence

00:19:23.059 --> 00:19:24.339
 despised

00:19:24.339 --> 00:19:25.660
 and theologically

00:19:25.660 --> 00:19:26.700
 heterodox

00:19:26.700 --> 00:19:29.299
 Nicodemus

00:19:29.299 --> 00:19:29.960
 was a man

00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:31.279
 a Jew

00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:32.559
 and a ruler

00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:32.579
 and a ruler

00:19:32.579 --> 00:19:33.299
 among them

00:19:33.299 --> 00:19:35.740
 the Samaritan

00:19:35.740 --> 00:19:36.839
 was a woman

00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:38.519
 she was a Samaritan

00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:39.559
 and a moral

00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:40.339
 outcast

00:19:40.339 --> 00:19:42.519
 and they both

00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:43.980
 needed Jesus

00:19:43.980 --> 00:19:46.839
 they both

00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:48.019
 received Jesus'

00:19:48.259 --> 00:19:49.480
 gracious invitation

00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:51.700
 they both

00:19:51.700 --> 00:19:52.399
 were objects

00:19:52.399 --> 00:19:53.399
 of God's love

00:19:53.399 --> 00:19:54.940
 and mercy

00:19:54.940 --> 00:19:58.740
 and Jesus'

00:19:58.940 --> 00:19:59.420
 insight into

00:19:59.420 --> 00:19:59.980
 this woman's

00:19:59.980 --> 00:20:00.200
 life

00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:00.960
 so touches

00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:01.460
 her to the

00:20:01.460 --> 00:20:02.000
 very core

00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:02.440
 later in

00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:02.980
 verse 29

00:20:02.980 --> 00:20:03.600
 she tells

00:20:03.600 --> 00:20:03.920
 people

00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:04.740
 come see

00:20:04.740 --> 00:20:05.200
 a man

00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:05.640
 who told

00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:05.840
 me

00:20:05.840 --> 00:20:06.539
 all that

00:20:06.539 --> 00:20:07.160
 I ever

00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:07.519
 did

00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:09.460
 can this

00:20:09.460 --> 00:20:09.799
 be the

00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:10.240
 Christ

00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:13.320
 but at this

00:20:13.320 --> 00:20:13.620
 point

00:20:13.620 --> 00:20:15.440
 she's not

00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:16.160
 won over yet

00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:16.580
 right

00:20:16.580 --> 00:20:17.380
 because

00:20:17.380 --> 00:20:18.320
 with her

00:20:18.320 --> 00:20:18.680
 past

00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:19.019
 and present

00:20:19.019 --> 00:20:19.380
 sins

00:20:19.380 --> 00:20:20.320
 all of a

00:20:20.320 --> 00:20:20.480
 sudden

00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:21.100
 exposed

00:20:21.100 --> 00:20:21.820
 before this

00:20:21.820 --> 00:20:22.360
 stranger

00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:22.779
 that she

00:20:22.779 --> 00:20:23.459
 just met

00:20:23.459 --> 00:20:24.359
 she abruptly

00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:24.740
 changes

00:20:24.740 --> 00:20:25.179
 subject

00:20:25.179 --> 00:20:26.419
 and she

00:20:26.419 --> 00:20:27.019
 brings up

00:20:27.019 --> 00:20:27.379
 the point

00:20:27.379 --> 00:20:27.879
 of theological

00:20:27.879 --> 00:20:28.439
 contention

00:20:28.439 --> 00:20:29.079
 between Jews

00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:29.779
 and Samaritans

00:20:29.779 --> 00:20:30.719
 perhaps that's

00:20:30.719 --> 00:20:31.240
 just a way

00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:32.699
 of evading

00:20:32.699 --> 00:20:33.000
 this

00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:33.459
 and trying

00:20:33.459 --> 00:20:34.579
 to reestablish

00:20:34.579 --> 00:20:34.959
 some kind

00:20:34.959 --> 00:20:35.379
 of distance

00:20:35.379 --> 00:20:36.279
 between her

00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:36.819
 and Jesus

00:20:36.819 --> 00:20:37.599
 or maybe

00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:38.319
 that's her

00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:39.019
 way of

00:20:39.019 --> 00:20:39.839
 trying to

00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:40.339
 show that

00:20:40.339 --> 00:20:40.759
 she does

00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:41.179
 have some

00:20:41.179 --> 00:20:41.519
 religious

00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:42.479
 sensibilities

00:20:42.479 --> 00:20:43.359
 she knows

00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:44.899
 what's going

00:20:44.899 --> 00:20:45.319
 on

00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:45.819
 and so

00:20:45.819 --> 00:20:46.419
 she asks

00:20:46.419 --> 00:20:47.199
 this question

00:20:47.199 --> 00:20:47.599
 in verses

00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:48.740
 19 and 20

00:20:48.740 --> 00:20:50.000
 sir I

00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:50.439
 perceive

00:20:50.439 --> 00:20:50.919
 that you

00:20:50.919 --> 00:20:51.419
 are a

00:20:51.419 --> 00:20:51.799
 prophet

00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:53.519
 our fathers

00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:53.980
 worshipped

00:20:53.980 --> 00:20:54.359
 on this

00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:54.700
 mountain

00:20:54.700 --> 00:20:55.200
 but you

00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:55.579
 say

00:20:55.579 --> 00:20:56.299
 that in

00:20:56.299 --> 00:20:56.700
 Jerusalem

00:20:56.700 --> 00:20:57.099
 is a

00:20:57.099 --> 00:20:57.379
 place

00:20:57.379 --> 00:20:57.879
 where people

00:20:57.879 --> 00:20:58.559
 ought to

00:20:58.559 --> 00:20:59.039
 worship

00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:00.659
 now but

00:21:00.659 --> 00:21:00.919
 Jesus

00:21:00.919 --> 00:21:02.039
 doesn't let

00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:02.700
 her derail

00:21:02.700 --> 00:21:03.139
 this

00:21:03.139 --> 00:21:04.700
 conversation

00:21:04.700 --> 00:21:05.819
 and she

00:21:05.819 --> 00:21:06.339
 he does

00:21:06.339 --> 00:21:06.859
 answer

00:21:06.859 --> 00:21:07.559
 her question

00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:08.059
 he does

00:21:08.059 --> 00:21:08.700
 disabuse

00:21:08.700 --> 00:21:09.119
 her of

00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:09.779
 her false

00:21:09.779 --> 00:21:10.180
 notions

00:21:10.180 --> 00:21:10.519
 because

00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:11.200
 the salvation

00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:12.019
 is from

00:21:12.019 --> 00:21:12.460
 the Jews

00:21:12.460 --> 00:21:12.659
 right

00:21:12.659 --> 00:21:13.099
 because the

00:21:13.099 --> 00:21:13.440
 Samaritans

00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:14.099
 rejected the

00:21:14.099 --> 00:21:14.460
 rest of

00:21:14.460 --> 00:21:14.799
 God's

00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:15.159
 revelation

00:21:15.159 --> 00:21:15.379
 in the

00:21:15.379 --> 00:21:15.799
 Old Testament

00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:16.460
 they did

00:21:16.460 --> 00:21:16.839
 not have

00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:17.399
 a proper

00:21:17.399 --> 00:21:18.039
 view of

00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:18.180
 God

00:21:18.180 --> 00:21:18.559
 did not

00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:18.879
 know

00:21:18.879 --> 00:21:19.180
 God

00:21:19.180 --> 00:21:19.480
 as they

00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:19.960
 ought to

00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:21.099
 while the

00:21:21.099 --> 00:21:21.659
 Jews

00:21:21.660 --> 00:21:22.060
 did

00:21:22.060 --> 00:21:22.540
 however

00:21:22.540 --> 00:21:23.340
 imperfect

00:21:23.340 --> 00:21:23.640
 their

00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:23.920
 worship

00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:24.240
 was

00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:24.460
 however

00:21:24.460 --> 00:21:25.160
 misguided

00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:25.380
 their

00:21:25.380 --> 00:21:25.640
 worship

00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:25.880
 was

00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:26.180
 Jews

00:21:26.180 --> 00:21:26.620
 did

00:21:26.620 --> 00:21:26.920
 know

00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:27.120
 who

00:21:27.120 --> 00:21:27.440
 God

00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:28.019
 was

00:21:28.019 --> 00:21:28.160
 so

00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:28.460
 he

00:21:28.460 --> 00:21:28.800
 says

00:21:28.800 --> 00:21:28.960
 in

00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:29.180
 verses

00:21:29.180 --> 00:21:30.160
 21 and 22

00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:30.460
 woman

00:21:30.460 --> 00:21:31.380
 believe me

00:21:31.380 --> 00:21:31.940
 the hour is

00:21:31.940 --> 00:21:32.440
 coming when

00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:33.140
 neither on this

00:21:33.140 --> 00:21:33.759
 mountain nor in

00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:34.400
 Jerusalem will you

00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:34.920
 worship the

00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:35.220
 father

00:21:35.220 --> 00:21:36.640
 you worship what

00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:37.060
 you do not

00:21:37.060 --> 00:21:37.440
 know

00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:38.340
 we worship what

00:21:38.340 --> 00:21:38.740
 we know

00:21:38.740 --> 00:21:39.380
 for salvation

00:21:39.380 --> 00:21:39.960
 is from

00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:40.580
 the Jews

00:21:40.580 --> 00:21:41.759
 but notice

00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:42.080
 that he

00:21:42.080 --> 00:21:42.980
 prefaces that

00:21:42.980 --> 00:21:43.640
 statement by

00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:44.420
 first saying

00:21:44.420 --> 00:21:45.720
 that there's a

00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:46.660
 new age that

00:21:46.660 --> 00:21:47.160
 is coming

00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:48.600
 when this

00:21:48.600 --> 00:21:49.420
 debate about

00:21:49.420 --> 00:21:49.960
 the proper

00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:50.640
 locale for

00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:51.080
 worship

00:21:51.080 --> 00:21:53.000
 will not

00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:53.300
 matter

00:21:53.300 --> 00:21:53.620
 anymore

00:21:53.620 --> 00:21:55.300
 the Jews

00:21:55.300 --> 00:21:55.840
 who had a

00:21:55.840 --> 00:21:56.900
 privileged status

00:21:56.900 --> 00:21:57.620
 before God

00:21:57.620 --> 00:21:58.240
 up to this

00:21:58.240 --> 00:21:58.560
 point

00:21:58.560 --> 00:22:00.100
 that will no

00:22:00.100 --> 00:22:00.580
 longer be the

00:22:00.580 --> 00:22:00.940
 case

00:22:00.940 --> 00:22:01.500
 the worship

00:22:01.500 --> 00:22:01.820
 will be

00:22:01.820 --> 00:22:02.100
 open

00:22:02.100 --> 00:22:02.480
 that will be

00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:02.720
 given

00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:03.580
 before all

00:22:03.580 --> 00:22:04.160
 nations

00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:05.180
 for all

00:22:05.180 --> 00:22:05.840
 peoples

00:22:05.840 --> 00:22:06.820
 and so

00:22:06.820 --> 00:22:07.400
 Jesus says

00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:08.140
 the hour is

00:22:08.140 --> 00:22:08.779
 coming when

00:22:08.779 --> 00:22:09.360
 neither on this

00:22:09.360 --> 00:22:10.060
 mountain nor

00:22:10.060 --> 00:22:10.560
 in Jerusalem

00:22:10.560 --> 00:22:10.920
 will you

00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:11.320
 worship

00:22:11.320 --> 00:22:12.259
 the father

00:22:12.259 --> 00:22:13.040
 and he

00:22:13.040 --> 00:22:13.600
 continues

00:22:13.600 --> 00:22:14.860
 verse 23

00:22:14.860 --> 00:22:15.500
 and 24

00:22:15.500 --> 00:22:15.920
 read with

00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:16.119
 me

00:22:16.119 --> 00:22:17.460
 the hour

00:22:17.460 --> 00:22:18.099
 is coming

00:22:18.099 --> 00:22:19.339
 and is

00:22:19.339 --> 00:22:20.059
 now here

00:22:20.059 --> 00:22:21.299
 when the

00:22:21.299 --> 00:22:21.640
 true

00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:22.339
 worshipers

00:22:22.339 --> 00:22:22.799
 will worship

00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:23.240
 the father

00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:23.900
 in spirit

00:22:23.900 --> 00:22:24.559
 and truth

00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:25.099
 for the

00:22:25.099 --> 00:22:25.700
 father is

00:22:25.700 --> 00:22:26.460
 seeking such

00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:27.099
 people to

00:22:27.099 --> 00:22:27.799
 worship him

00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:29.299
 God is

00:22:29.299 --> 00:22:30.160
 spirit

00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:31.079
 and those

00:22:31.079 --> 00:22:31.700
 who worship

00:22:31.700 --> 00:22:32.640
 him must

00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:33.380
 worship in

00:22:33.380 --> 00:22:33.859
 spirit

00:22:33.859 --> 00:22:35.500
 and truth

00:22:35.500 --> 00:22:37.180
 as those

00:22:37.180 --> 00:22:37.619
 of you who

00:22:37.619 --> 00:22:37.819
 have been

00:22:37.819 --> 00:22:38.319
 with us

00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:38.640
 since the

00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:39.339
 beginning of

00:22:39.339 --> 00:22:39.940
 our series

00:22:39.940 --> 00:22:40.519
 the gospel

00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:40.859
 of John

00:22:40.859 --> 00:22:41.299
 know by

00:22:41.299 --> 00:22:41.599
 now

00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:42.339
 whenever he

00:22:42.339 --> 00:22:42.680
 says

00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:43.700
 the hour

00:22:43.700 --> 00:22:44.380
 that's kind

00:22:44.380 --> 00:22:44.759
 of cue

00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:45.200
 for the

00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:45.680
 hour of

00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:45.940
 Jesus

00:22:45.940 --> 00:22:46.380
 death

00:22:46.380 --> 00:22:46.920
 because

00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:47.580
 when the

00:22:47.580 --> 00:22:48.019
 word is

00:22:48.019 --> 00:22:48.440
 used in

00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:49.039
 an unqualified

00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:49.500
 way in

00:22:49.500 --> 00:22:49.819
 the gospel

00:22:49.819 --> 00:22:50.180
 of John

00:22:50.180 --> 00:22:50.819
 it always

00:22:50.819 --> 00:22:51.840
 refers to

00:22:51.840 --> 00:22:52.220
 Jesus'

00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:52.759
 death

00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:53.480
 resurrection

00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:54.279
 and ascension

00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:55.019
 that complex

00:22:55.019 --> 00:22:55.539
 of events

00:22:55.539 --> 00:22:56.039
 that leads

00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:56.860
 to Christ's

00:22:56.860 --> 00:22:57.460
 exaltation

00:22:57.460 --> 00:22:57.920
 and the

00:22:57.920 --> 00:22:58.240
 nations

00:22:58.240 --> 00:22:58.759
 coming to

00:22:58.759 --> 00:22:58.960
 him

00:22:58.960 --> 00:22:59.920
 so that's

00:22:59.920 --> 00:23:00.200
 what he's

00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:00.779
 talking about

00:23:00.779 --> 00:23:01.400
 and this

00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:02.440
 oxymoron here

00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:02.740
 that the

00:23:02.740 --> 00:23:03.259
 hour is

00:23:03.259 --> 00:23:03.759
 coming

00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:04.480
 and is

00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:05.240
 now here

00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:05.759
 already

00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:06.960
 powerfully

00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:07.640
 demonstrates

00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:08.440
 that this

00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:09.000
 new age

00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:09.880
 has decisively

00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:10.700
 dawned

00:23:10.700 --> 00:23:11.220
 but waits

00:23:11.220 --> 00:23:11.519
 to be

00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:12.140
 consummated

00:23:12.140 --> 00:23:13.980
 because the

00:23:13.980 --> 00:23:14.340
 reason

00:23:14.339 --> 00:23:15.099
 for that

00:23:15.099 --> 00:23:15.459
 is because

00:23:15.459 --> 00:23:16.199
 Jesus is

00:23:16.199 --> 00:23:16.459
 the one

00:23:16.459 --> 00:23:16.839
 who brings

00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:17.259
 about this

00:23:17.259 --> 00:23:17.759
 new age

00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:18.399
 and Jesus

00:23:18.399 --> 00:23:18.959
 is already

00:23:18.959 --> 00:23:19.480
 here

00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:20.759
 it's as if

00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:21.379
 if you take

00:23:21.379 --> 00:23:22.179
 an hourglass

00:23:22.179 --> 00:23:23.179
 and it's been

00:23:23.179 --> 00:23:23.939
 turned over

00:23:23.939 --> 00:23:24.980
 and set down

00:23:24.980 --> 00:23:25.919
 decisively

00:23:25.919 --> 00:23:26.639
 and the sand

00:23:26.639 --> 00:23:27.079
 has begun

00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:27.699
 to trickle

00:23:27.699 --> 00:23:28.379
 down

00:23:28.379 --> 00:23:29.539
 and it's only

00:23:29.539 --> 00:23:30.099
 a matter of

00:23:30.099 --> 00:23:30.939
 time before

00:23:30.939 --> 00:23:31.740
 the hour

00:23:31.740 --> 00:23:32.399
 comes in

00:23:32.399 --> 00:23:32.959
 fullness

00:23:32.959 --> 00:23:33.679
 right

00:23:33.679 --> 00:23:34.819
 indeed the hour

00:23:34.819 --> 00:23:35.299
 is already

00:23:35.299 --> 00:23:36.019
 in a very real

00:23:36.019 --> 00:23:36.379
 sense

00:23:36.379 --> 00:23:36.980
 here

00:23:36.980 --> 00:23:38.259
 so the hour

00:23:38.259 --> 00:23:38.759
 is coming

00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:39.419
 and is now

00:23:39.419 --> 00:23:40.019
 here

00:23:40.019 --> 00:23:40.599
 it's present

00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:41.319
 in Jesus

00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:42.599
 and in

00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:43.059
 this new

00:23:43.059 --> 00:23:43.399
 age

00:23:43.399 --> 00:23:43.919
 the true

00:23:43.919 --> 00:23:44.379
 worshippers

00:23:44.379 --> 00:23:44.960
 will not

00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:45.819
 be Jews

00:23:45.819 --> 00:23:47.439
 or Samaritans

00:23:47.439 --> 00:23:48.419
 but the true

00:23:48.419 --> 00:23:48.939
 worshippers

00:23:48.939 --> 00:23:49.679
 will be all

00:23:49.679 --> 00:23:50.279
 those who

00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:51.019
 worship the

00:23:51.019 --> 00:23:51.700
 father in

00:23:51.700 --> 00:23:52.179
 spirit

00:23:52.179 --> 00:23:53.659
 and truth

00:23:53.659 --> 00:23:54.539
 and the

00:23:54.539 --> 00:23:55.159
 reason that

00:23:55.159 --> 00:23:55.480
 he gives

00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:55.819
 for that

00:23:55.819 --> 00:23:56.119
 is that

00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:56.659
 God is

00:23:56.659 --> 00:23:56.960
 spirit

00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:58.279
 what does

00:23:58.279 --> 00:23:58.759
 that mean

00:23:58.759 --> 00:23:59.220
 it means

00:23:59.220 --> 00:23:59.480
 that

00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:00.179
 I mean

00:24:00.179 --> 00:24:01.220
 it doesn't

00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:01.500
 mean that

00:24:01.500 --> 00:24:01.779
 God is

00:24:01.779 --> 00:24:02.139
 one of the

00:24:02.139 --> 00:24:02.319
 many

00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:02.799
 spirits

00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:03.460
 it means

00:24:03.460 --> 00:24:04.279
 it's talking

00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:04.539
 about

00:24:04.539 --> 00:24:05.119
 his

00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:05.799
 nature

00:24:05.799 --> 00:24:06.619
 unlike

00:24:06.619 --> 00:24:07.000
 us

00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:07.179
 whose

00:24:07.179 --> 00:24:07.619
 flesh

00:24:07.619 --> 00:24:07.899
 God

00:24:07.899 --> 00:24:08.740
 is spirit

00:24:08.740 --> 00:24:09.139
 which means

00:24:09.139 --> 00:24:09.500
 that God

00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:09.859
 is not

00:24:09.859 --> 00:24:10.579
 confined

00:24:10.579 --> 00:24:12.119
 to time

00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:12.740
 space

00:24:12.740 --> 00:24:13.399
 continuum

00:24:13.399 --> 00:24:14.139
 he's not

00:24:14.139 --> 00:24:14.699
 confined

00:24:14.699 --> 00:24:15.179
 like we

00:24:15.179 --> 00:24:15.439
 are

00:24:15.439 --> 00:24:16.419
 it also

00:24:16.419 --> 00:24:16.819
 means

00:24:16.819 --> 00:24:17.500
 that he

00:24:17.500 --> 00:24:18.099
 doesn't

00:24:18.099 --> 00:24:18.679
 change

00:24:18.679 --> 00:24:19.460
 or decay

00:24:19.460 --> 00:24:20.599
 as we

00:24:20.599 --> 00:24:20.859
 do

00:24:20.859 --> 00:24:21.460
 because he's

00:24:21.460 --> 00:24:21.819
 spirit

00:24:21.819 --> 00:24:22.619
 he's not

00:24:22.619 --> 00:24:23.179
 flesh

00:24:23.179 --> 00:24:24.359
 it means

00:24:24.359 --> 00:24:24.740
 that God

00:24:24.740 --> 00:24:25.399
 is powerful

00:24:25.399 --> 00:24:26.939
 not weak

00:24:26.939 --> 00:24:27.759
 like flesh

00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:28.659
 because he

00:24:28.659 --> 00:24:29.399
 is spirit

00:24:29.399 --> 00:24:30.579
 because

00:24:30.579 --> 00:24:31.579
 according to

00:24:31.579 --> 00:24:32.099
 the Bible

00:24:32.099 --> 00:24:33.359
 spirit

00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:34.339
 is a

00:24:34.339 --> 00:24:34.779
 stronger

00:24:34.779 --> 00:24:35.879
 reality

00:24:35.879 --> 00:24:36.299
 than

00:24:36.299 --> 00:24:37.639
 materiality

00:24:37.639 --> 00:24:38.419
 and that's

00:24:38.419 --> 00:24:38.659
 sometimes

00:24:38.659 --> 00:24:38.980
 we don't

00:24:38.980 --> 00:24:39.339
 think about

00:24:39.339 --> 00:24:39.599
 it that

00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:39.779
 way

00:24:39.779 --> 00:24:40.179
 we think

00:24:40.180 --> 00:24:40.539
 things

00:24:40.539 --> 00:24:40.799
 you can

00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:41.019
 see

00:24:41.019 --> 00:24:41.299
 feel

00:24:41.299 --> 00:24:41.640
 and touch

00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:41.940
 that's

00:24:41.940 --> 00:24:42.120
 more

00:24:42.120 --> 00:24:42.360
 real

00:24:42.360 --> 00:24:42.779
 to us

00:24:42.779 --> 00:24:42.940
 than

00:24:42.940 --> 00:24:43.299
 spiritual

00:24:43.299 --> 00:24:43.700
 things

00:24:43.700 --> 00:24:44.200
 but the

00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:44.420
 Bible

00:24:44.420 --> 00:24:44.860
 turns

00:24:44.860 --> 00:24:45.180
 that

00:24:45.180 --> 00:24:45.460
 view

00:24:45.460 --> 00:24:45.820
 upside

00:24:45.820 --> 00:24:46.200
 down

00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:46.620
 in

00:24:46.620 --> 00:24:46.980
 Isaiah

00:24:46.980 --> 00:24:47.539
 31

00:24:47.539 --> 00:24:48.100
 he says

00:24:48.100 --> 00:24:48.860
 God

00:24:48.860 --> 00:24:49.360
 says to

00:24:49.360 --> 00:24:49.539
 this

00:24:49.539 --> 00:24:49.820
 to his

00:24:49.820 --> 00:24:50.019
 people

00:24:50.019 --> 00:24:50.560
 woe to

00:24:50.560 --> 00:24:50.880
 those

00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:51.160
 who go

00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:51.420
 down

00:24:51.420 --> 00:24:51.980
 to Egypt

00:24:51.980 --> 00:24:52.640
 for help

00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:53.080
 and rely

00:24:53.080 --> 00:24:53.580
 on horses

00:24:53.580 --> 00:24:54.640
 who trust

00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:55.340
 in chariots

00:24:55.340 --> 00:24:55.860
 because they

00:24:55.860 --> 00:24:56.299
 are many

00:24:56.299 --> 00:24:56.759
 and in

00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:57.400
 horsemen

00:24:57.400 --> 00:24:58.019
 because they

00:24:58.019 --> 00:24:58.400
 are very

00:24:58.400 --> 00:24:58.960
 strong

00:24:58.960 --> 00:24:59.880
 but do

00:24:59.880 --> 00:25:00.600
 not look

00:25:00.600 --> 00:25:00.980
 to the

00:25:00.980 --> 00:25:01.340
 holy

00:25:01.340 --> 00:25:01.720
 one

00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:02.420
 of Israel

00:25:02.420 --> 00:25:03.240
 or consult

00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:03.700
 the Lord

00:25:03.700 --> 00:25:04.660
 and then

00:25:04.660 --> 00:25:04.980
 he says

00:25:04.980 --> 00:25:05.440
 the reason

00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:05.920
 for that

00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:06.340
 is the

00:25:06.340 --> 00:25:06.640
 Egyptians

00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:07.259
 are man

00:25:07.259 --> 00:25:08.039
 and not

00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:08.379
 God

00:25:08.379 --> 00:25:09.680
 and their

00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:10.000
 horses

00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:10.759
 are flesh

00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:11.659
 and not

00:25:11.659 --> 00:25:12.399
 spirit

00:25:12.399 --> 00:25:13.500
 and when

00:25:13.500 --> 00:25:13.799
 the Lord

00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:14.379
 stretches

00:25:14.379 --> 00:25:14.799
 out his

00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:15.119
 hand

00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:15.839
 the helper

00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:16.559
 will stumble

00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:16.879
 and he

00:25:16.879 --> 00:25:17.319
 was helped

00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:18.059
 will fall

00:25:18.059 --> 00:25:18.460
 and they

00:25:18.460 --> 00:25:18.940
 will all

00:25:18.940 --> 00:25:19.379
 perish

00:25:19.379 --> 00:25:20.000
 together

00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:21.079
 the spiritual

00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:21.519
 reality

00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:21.980
 is more

00:25:21.980 --> 00:25:22.359
 real

00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:22.680
 than

00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:23.099
 material

00:25:23.099 --> 00:25:23.599
 reality

00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:24.139
 and the

00:25:24.139 --> 00:25:24.480
 spirit

00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:24.960
 is more

00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:25.440
 permanent

00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:26.420
 and powerful

00:25:26.420 --> 00:25:27.079
 than flesh

00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:27.579
 God

00:25:27.579 --> 00:25:28.720
 is spirit

00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:29.799
 and that's

00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:30.240
 why true

00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:30.740
 worshipers

00:25:30.740 --> 00:25:31.279
 must worship

00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:31.839
 in spirit

00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:33.339
 and truth

00:25:33.339 --> 00:25:33.839
 and what

00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:34.240
 does that

00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:34.420
 mean

00:25:34.420 --> 00:25:35.099
 what's spirit

00:25:35.099 --> 00:25:35.799
 and truth

00:25:35.799 --> 00:25:37.319
 and that

00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:38.000
 should really

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:38.599
 have the

00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:39.240
 definite article

00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:40.099
 before the

00:25:40.099 --> 00:25:40.579
 word spirit

00:25:40.579 --> 00:25:40.919
 it should

00:25:40.919 --> 00:25:41.419
 say in

00:25:41.419 --> 00:25:41.799
 the

00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:42.779
 spirit

00:25:42.779 --> 00:25:43.859
 the definite

00:25:43.859 --> 00:25:44.139
 article

00:25:44.139 --> 00:25:44.879
 isn't there

00:25:44.879 --> 00:25:45.179
 in the

00:25:45.179 --> 00:25:45.639
 original text

00:25:45.639 --> 00:25:45.899
 in the

00:25:45.899 --> 00:25:46.200
 Greek

00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:47.099
 but that's

00:25:47.099 --> 00:25:47.759
 usually the

00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:48.119
 case

00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:48.980
 even when

00:25:48.980 --> 00:25:49.359
 the noun

00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:50.019
 is definite

00:25:50.019 --> 00:25:50.740
 if the

00:25:50.740 --> 00:25:51.000
 noun

00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:51.879
 is an

00:25:51.879 --> 00:25:52.159
 object

00:25:52.159 --> 00:25:52.480
 of a

00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:53.000
 preposition

00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:54.079
 and especially

00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:54.579
 if it's

00:25:54.579 --> 00:25:55.579
 an abstract

00:25:55.579 --> 00:25:55.960
 noun

00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:56.579
 like truth

00:25:56.579 --> 00:25:57.099
 and spirit

00:25:57.099 --> 00:25:57.759
 so it's

00:25:57.759 --> 00:25:58.659
 by grammatical

00:25:58.659 --> 00:25:59.019
 rule

00:25:59.019 --> 00:25:59.359
 it's the

00:25:59.359 --> 00:25:59.960
 usual way

00:25:59.960 --> 00:26:00.299
 you should

00:26:00.299 --> 00:26:00.859
 translate this

00:26:00.859 --> 00:26:01.279
 is to say

00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:01.859
 in the

00:26:01.859 --> 00:26:02.339
 spirit

00:26:02.339 --> 00:26:03.119
 and the

00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:03.539
 truth

00:26:03.539 --> 00:26:04.480
 not in

00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:04.899
 spirit

00:26:04.899 --> 00:26:05.480
 and truth

00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:06.099
 and you

00:26:06.099 --> 00:26:06.559
 see this

00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:07.159
 confirmed in

00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:07.680
 John chapter

00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:08.240
 3 verse

00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:08.940
 5 of the

00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:09.340
 ESV

00:26:09.340 --> 00:26:10.140
 same bible

00:26:10.140 --> 00:26:10.860
 he says

00:26:10.860 --> 00:26:11.420
 unless one

00:26:11.420 --> 00:26:11.840
 is born

00:26:11.840 --> 00:26:12.340
 of water

00:26:12.340 --> 00:26:13.060
 and the

00:26:13.060 --> 00:26:13.519
 spirit

00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:14.360
 he cannot

00:26:14.360 --> 00:26:14.920
 enter the

00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:15.300
 kingdom of

00:26:15.300 --> 00:26:15.560
 God

00:26:15.560 --> 00:26:16.660
 same word

00:26:16.660 --> 00:26:17.560
 the article

00:26:17.560 --> 00:26:17.800
 is not

00:26:17.800 --> 00:26:18.420
 there either

00:26:18.420 --> 00:26:19.279
 but the

00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:19.700
 translators

00:26:19.700 --> 00:26:20.380
 here render

00:26:20.380 --> 00:26:20.940
 that correctly

00:26:20.940 --> 00:26:21.360
 they put

00:26:21.360 --> 00:26:21.779
 the

00:26:21.779 --> 00:26:22.500
 before the

00:26:22.500 --> 00:26:22.759
 spirit

00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:23.480
 so what

00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:23.960
 that means

00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:24.180
 then

00:26:24.180 --> 00:26:24.759
 what

00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:25.300
 Jesus

00:26:25.300 --> 00:26:25.759
 is referring

00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:25.920
 to

00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:26.620
 here is

00:26:26.620 --> 00:26:26.759
 the

00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:27.019
 holy

00:26:27.019 --> 00:26:27.960
 spirit

00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:28.880
 the spirit

00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:29.640
 the spirit

00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:29.980
 of God

00:26:29.980 --> 00:26:30.360
 the very

00:26:30.360 --> 00:26:30.800
 presence

00:26:30.800 --> 00:26:31.360
 of God

00:26:31.360 --> 00:26:32.200
 he is the

00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:32.560
 one that

00:26:32.560 --> 00:26:33.019
 mediates

00:26:33.019 --> 00:26:33.500
 our worship

00:26:33.500 --> 00:26:34.279
 he is the

00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:34.840
 one through

00:26:34.840 --> 00:26:35.420
 whom we

00:26:35.420 --> 00:26:36.019
 must worship

00:26:36.019 --> 00:26:37.500
 in the

00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:37.839
 spirit

00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:38.359
 of God

00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:40.420
 but not

00:26:40.420 --> 00:26:41.079
 just in

00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:41.579
 spirit

00:26:41.579 --> 00:26:41.879
 but the

00:26:41.879 --> 00:26:42.079
 true

00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:42.539
 worshipers

00:26:42.539 --> 00:26:42.740
 also

00:26:42.740 --> 00:26:43.019
 worship

00:26:43.019 --> 00:26:43.200
 the

00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:43.440
 father

00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:43.680
 in

00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:44.139
 truth

00:26:44.139 --> 00:26:45.740
 this

00:26:45.740 --> 00:26:46.119
 also

00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:46.460
 refers

00:26:46.460 --> 00:26:46.700
 to a

00:26:46.700 --> 00:26:47.119
 specific

00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:47.900
 definite

00:26:47.900 --> 00:26:48.539

00:26:48.539 --> 00:26:48.859

00:26:48.859 --> 00:26:49.680
 truth

00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:50.019
 and in

00:26:50.019 --> 00:26:50.139
 the

00:26:51.779 --> 00:26:52.579

00:26:52.579 --> 00:26:53.180
 very clear

00:26:53.180 --> 00:26:53.519
 because

00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:53.940
 in

 John 6

00:27:14.700 --> 00:27:15.120
 truth

00:27:15.120 --> 00:27:15.600
 can be

00:27:15.600 --> 00:27:16.000
 nothing

00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:16.820
 other than

 Jesus

00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:18.019
 Christ

00:27:18.019 --> 00:27:18.759

00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:25.759
 makes

00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:26.019

 Christ

00:27:51.320 --> 00:27:51.600
 that's

00:27:51.600 --> 00:27:51.779
 what

00:27:51.779 --> 00:27:51.920
 it

00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:52.180
 means

00:27:52.180 --> 00:27:52.360
 for

00:27:52.360 --> 00:27:52.580
 us

00:27:52.580 --> 00:27:52.740
 to

00:27:52.740 --> 00:27:53.040

00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:55.980
 truth

00:27:55.980 --> 00:27:57.100
 because

00:27:57.100 --> 00:27:57.580
 Jesus

00:27:57.580 --> 00:27:57.980
 who

00:27:57.980 --> 00:27:58.500
 replaces

00:27:58.500 --> 00:27:58.759
 the

 old

00:27:59.040 --> 00:27:59.340

00:27:59.340 --> 00:27:59.640
 as we

00:27:59.640 --> 00:27:59.800
 saw

00:27:59.800 --> 00:27:59.900
 in

00:27:59.900 --> 00:28:00.120
 chapter

00:28:00.120 --> 00:28:00.380
 2

00:28:00.380 --> 00:28:00.740
 is

00:28:00.740 --> 00:28:00.900
 now

00:28:00.900 --> 00:28:01.040
 the

00:28:01.040 --> 00:28:01.300
 new

00:28:01.300 --> 00:28:01.720
 focal

00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:02.019
 point

00:28:02.019 --> 00:28:02.180
 of

00:28:02.180 --> 00:28:02.500
 worship

00:28:02.500 --> 00:28:02.960
 he

00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:03.099
 is

00:28:03.099 --> 00:28:03.200
 the

00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:03.420
 one

00:28:03.420 --> 00:28:04.059
 through

00:28:04.059 --> 00:28:04.259
 whom

00:28:04.259 --> 00:28:04.400
 we

00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:04.740
 worship

00:28:04.740 --> 00:28:06.960
 and

00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:07.539
 that's

00:28:07.539 --> 00:28:08.000
 why

00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:08.240
 when

00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:08.500
 Jesus

00:28:08.500 --> 00:28:08.879
 tells

00:28:08.879 --> 00:28:09.240
 this

00:28:09.240 --> 00:28:09.539
 to

00:28:09.539 --> 00:28:09.740
 the

00:28:12.700 --> 00:28:13.600
 I

00:28:13.600 --> 00:28:13.620
 I

00:28:13.620 --> 00:28:13.640
 I

00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:13.700
 I

00:28:13.700 --> 00:28:14.039
 know

00:28:14.039 --> 00:28:14.299
 that

00:28:14.299 --> 00:28:14.819
 Messiah

00:28:14.819 --> 00:28:15.059
 is

 he

00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:18.460
 comes

00:28:18.460 --> 00:28:18.620
 he

00:28:18.620 --> 00:28:18.759
 will

00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:19.000
 tell

 all

 Messiah

00:28:37.080 --> 00:28:37.580
 comes

00:28:37.580 --> 00:28:38.000
 so

00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:38.259
 that's

00:28:38.259 --> 00:28:38.380
 why

00:28:38.380 --> 00:28:38.580
 she

00:28:38.580 --> 00:28:38.940
 says

00:28:38.940 --> 00:28:39.240
 this

00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:39.420
 to

00:28:39.420 --> 00:28:39.660
 him

00:28:39.660 --> 00:28:40.340
 and

00:28:40.340 --> 00:28:40.720
 Jesus

00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:41.060
 says

00:28:41.060 --> 00:28:41.420
 something

00:28:41.420 --> 00:28:41.980
 really

00:28:41.980 --> 00:28:42.460
 remarkable

 you

00:28:50.080 --> 00:28:50.320
 am

00:28:50.320 --> 00:28:50.560
 he

00:28:50.560 --> 00:28:51.080
 Jesus

00:28:51.080 --> 00:28:52.360
 embodies

00:28:52.360 --> 00:28:52.680
 and

00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:53.300
 imparts

00:28:53.300 --> 00:28:53.760
 to us

00:28:53.760 --> 00:28:54.120
 the

00:28:54.120 --> 00:28:54.540
 very

00:28:54.540 --> 00:28:55.040
 truth

00:28:55.040 --> 00:28:55.260
 of

00:28:55.260 --> 00:28:55.440
 God

00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:55.640
 the

 saving

00:28:56.120 --> 00:28:56.680
 purposes

00:28:56.680 --> 00:28:57.460
 of

00:28:57.460 --> 00:28:57.800
 God

00:28:57.800 --> 00:28:58.160
 and

00:28:58.160 --> 00:28:58.500
 that's

00:28:58.500 --> 00:28:58.720
 in

00:28:58.720 --> 00:28:58.860
 the

00:28:58.860 --> 00:28:59.140
 gospel

00:28:59.140 --> 00:28:59.340
 of

00:28:59.340 --> 00:28:59.560
 Jesus

00:28:59.560 --> 00:28:59.900
 Christ

00:28:59.900 --> 00:29:00.080
 that

00:29:00.080 --> 00:29:00.180
 we

00:29:00.180 --> 00:29:00.640
 proclaim

00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:01.000
 week

00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:01.340
 in

00:29:01.340 --> 00:29:01.720
 and

00:29:01.720 --> 00:29:01.980
 week

00:29:01.980 --> 00:29:02.240
 out

00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:02.520
 because

00:29:02.520 --> 00:29:02.740
 when

00:29:02.740 --> 00:29:03.160
 humanity

00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:03.660
 sinned

00:29:03.660 --> 00:29:04.040
 against

00:29:04.040 --> 00:29:04.500
 God

00:29:04.500 --> 00:29:04.900
 by

00:29:04.900 --> 00:29:05.380
 doubting

00:29:05.380 --> 00:29:05.560
 his

00:29:05.560 --> 00:29:05.980
 promises

00:29:05.980 --> 00:29:06.440
 and

00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:06.960
 violating

00:29:08.380 --> 00:29:08.860
 and

00:29:08.860 --> 00:29:09.540
 obscured

00:29:09.540 --> 00:29:09.720
 the

00:29:09.720 --> 00:29:10.020
 truth

00:29:10.020 --> 00:29:10.180
 of

00:29:10.180 --> 00:29:10.420
 God

00:29:10.420 --> 00:29:10.620
 and

00:29:10.620 --> 00:29:10.820
 a

00:29:10.820 --> 00:29:11.060
 dark

00:29:11.060 --> 00:29:11.540
 fog

00:29:11.540 --> 00:29:12.220
 dawned

00:29:12.220 --> 00:29:12.400
 it

00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:12.860
 descended

00:29:12.860 --> 00:29:13.460
 upon

00:29:13.460 --> 00:29:13.720
 the

00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:13.960
 earth

00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:14.540
 upon

00:29:14.540 --> 00:29:14.740
 the

00:29:14.740 --> 00:29:15.000
 world

00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:16.260
 and

00:29:16.260 --> 00:29:16.380
 we

00:29:16.380 --> 00:29:16.620
 became

00:29:16.620 --> 00:29:17.040
 cloaked

00:29:17.040 --> 00:29:17.200
 in

00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:17.780
 ignorance

00:29:17.780 --> 00:29:20.420
 but

00:29:20.420 --> 00:29:20.860
 God

00:29:20.860 --> 00:29:21.480
 sends

00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:21.700
 the

00:29:21.700 --> 00:29:21.940
 son

00:29:21.940 --> 00:29:22.140
 who

00:29:22.140 --> 00:29:22.260
 is

00:29:22.260 --> 00:29:22.400
 the

00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:22.680
 light

00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:22.780
 of

00:29:22.780 --> 00:29:22.900
 the

00:29:22.900 --> 00:29:23.100
 world

00:29:23.100 --> 00:29:23.380
 John

00:29:23.380 --> 00:29:23.660
 says

00:29:23.660 --> 00:29:24.100
 he

00:29:24.100 --> 00:29:24.960
 enlightens

00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:25.340
 us

00:29:25.340 --> 00:29:25.660
 so

00:29:25.660 --> 00:29:25.760
 that

00:29:25.760 --> 00:29:25.860
 we

00:29:25.860 --> 00:29:26.000
 can

00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:26.420
 see

00:29:26.420 --> 00:29:26.640
 in

00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:26.760
 the

00:29:26.760 --> 00:29:27.440
 darkness

00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:28.080
 he

00:29:28.080 --> 00:29:28.320
 comes

00:29:28.320 --> 00:29:28.440
 as

00:29:28.440 --> 00:29:28.600
 the

00:29:28.600 --> 00:29:28.940
 truth

00:29:28.940 --> 00:29:29.160
 to

00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:29.460
 point

00:29:29.460 --> 00:29:29.620
 us

00:29:29.620 --> 00:29:29.720
 in

00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:29.820
 the

00:29:29.820 --> 00:29:30.020
 right

00:29:30.020 --> 00:29:30.340
 direction

00:29:30.340 --> 00:29:30.500
 to

00:29:30.500 --> 00:29:30.800
 show

00:29:30.800 --> 00:29:30.960
 us

00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:31.080
 the

00:29:31.080 --> 00:29:31.400
 way

00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:31.920
 to

00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:32.280
 God

00:29:32.280 --> 00:29:32.440
 and

00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:32.600
 he

00:29:32.600 --> 00:29:32.900
 does

00:29:32.900 --> 00:29:33.160
 this

00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:33.880
 ultimately

00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:34.300
 in

00:29:34.300 --> 00:29:34.420
 a

00:29:34.420 --> 00:29:35.100
 climactic

00:29:35.100 --> 00:29:35.480
 way

00:29:35.480 --> 00:29:35.980
 on

00:29:35.980 --> 00:29:36.160
 the

00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:36.440
 cross

00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:36.640
 when

00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:36.780
 he

00:29:36.780 --> 00:29:37.259
 dies

00:29:37.259 --> 00:29:37.640
 for

00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:37.880
 our

00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:38.340
 sins

00:29:38.340 --> 00:29:38.580
 because

00:29:38.580 --> 00:29:38.780
 we

00:29:38.780 --> 00:29:39.019
 cannot

00:29:39.019 --> 00:29:39.519
 make

00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:39.680
 our

00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:39.900
 own

00:29:39.900 --> 00:29:40.140
 way

00:29:40.140 --> 00:29:40.320
 to

00:29:40.320 --> 00:29:40.640
 God

00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:41.320
 we

00:29:41.320 --> 00:29:41.580
 cannot

00:29:41.580 --> 00:29:42.120
 find

00:29:42.120 --> 00:29:42.280
 our

00:29:42.280 --> 00:29:42.480
 own

00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:42.680
 way

00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:42.820
 to

00:29:42.820 --> 00:29:43.000
 God

00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:43.340
 but

00:29:43.340 --> 00:29:43.720
 Christ

00:29:43.720 --> 00:29:44.040
 shows

00:29:44.040 --> 00:29:44.259
 us

00:29:44.259 --> 00:29:44.560
 the

00:29:44.560 --> 00:29:44.759
 way

00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:44.900
 when

00:29:44.900 --> 00:29:45.060
 he

00:29:45.060 --> 00:29:45.420
 dies

00:29:45.420 --> 00:29:45.780
 and

00:29:45.780 --> 00:29:46.120
 makes

00:29:46.120 --> 00:29:46.440
 that

00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:46.680
 way

00:29:46.680 --> 00:29:47.120
 paves

00:29:47.120 --> 00:29:47.420
 that

00:29:47.420 --> 00:29:47.800
 path

00:29:47.800 --> 00:29:48.200
 by

00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:48.620
 paying

00:29:48.620 --> 00:29:48.860
 the

00:29:48.860 --> 00:29:49.240
 penalty

00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:49.480
 of

00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:49.680
 our

00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:50.080
 sins

00:29:50.080 --> 00:29:51.460
 and

00:29:51.460 --> 00:29:51.820
 bringing

00:29:51.820 --> 00:29:52.060
 us
