00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.279
 In a relationship, it's quite easy for a gap to appear, a kind of relational gap.

00:00:10.820 --> 00:00:16.839
! And it's easy in a relationship, even in a strong relationship, for a gap to appear and problems to come.

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:19.440
 And that's really what you've got in Isaiah 57.

00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:25.120
 You've got a relationship where there's a gap between two parties, and it could not be wider.

00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:31.000
 It's not a gap of class or income level.

00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:37.400
 It's not even kind of a little falling out or kind of relational coolness.

00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:42.480
 But there's a great gap in the end of Isaiah 57.

00:00:43.260 --> 00:00:47.859
 It concerns two things. It concerns holiness and sin.

00:00:47.859 --> 00:00:52.179
 On one side of the gap, you have God, who is holy.

00:00:54.299 --> 00:01:01.240
 And then on the other side of the gap, you have yourself, us, who are not holy, but sinners.

00:01:02.939 --> 00:01:06.200
 And the gap is insurmountable. It can't be bridged.

00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:15.960
 However, in this standing passage today, God is going to explain to us that he has done absolutely everything necessary

00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:21.579
 to bridge the gap between himself and you.

00:01:22.980 --> 00:01:27.120
 He wants to bring you to his dwelling place and to his home.

00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:35.060
 God desires to open the door of his home and welcome you in forever.

00:01:36.520 --> 00:01:41.400
 And Isaiah is going to point us to the holy God, who in order to be hospitable, heals the humble.

00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.760
 I don't think I've ever had four H's in my theme sentence before.

00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.380
 That's quite unusual. It's a stroke of genius, really.

00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:52.659
 Holy God, who in order to be hospitable, heals the humble.

00:01:52.659 --> 00:01:56.080
 It's easy to do that with P's and T's, but not so easy on H's.

00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:01.260
 So let's look at, first of all, the barrier to God's hospitality, then the means to God's hospitality,

00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:02.939
 then the result of God's hospitality.

00:02:04.300 --> 00:02:06.880
 The barrier to God's hospitality, look at verse 14.

00:02:08.659 --> 00:02:14.800
 And it shall be said, build up, build up, prepare the way, remove every obstacle from my people's way.

00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.200
 Literally, the beginning is, he will say, because it's God speaking.

00:02:20.460 --> 00:02:25.240
 And what he says in verse 14 is not that dissimilar from what he said already.

00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:26.939
 You should pick up that in Isaiah.

00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:28.659
 He kind of repeats himself quite a lot.

00:02:28.760 --> 00:02:29.980
 So remember Isaiah 40.

00:02:30.420 --> 00:02:31.680
 They're very familiar words.

00:02:32.200 --> 00:02:34.100
 God says, comfort, comfort my people.

00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:37.719
 A voice of one calling, prepare the way for the Lord.

00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:41.740
 Make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God.

00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:42.840
 That's chapter 40.

00:02:44.100 --> 00:02:49.439
 And in chapter 40, Isaiah was speaking about a highway that needs to be constructed,

00:02:49.600 --> 00:02:52.160
 because the king, God the king, was coming to town.

00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.180
 God the king was coming to comfort his people.

00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:00.319
 And God the king would lead them home along this road after their exile.

00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:02.099
 So prepare the way for that kind of king.

00:03:03.180 --> 00:03:06.519
 And God instructs, doesn't he, he says, all the valleys be filled in.

00:03:07.620 --> 00:03:10.780
 All the mountains be levelled off and brought down.

00:03:12.300 --> 00:03:17.060
 But here in chapter 57, God is calling for another public works section, project.

00:03:17.060 --> 00:03:20.819
 And the project is not for God himself.

00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:22.539
 This highway is for his people.

00:03:23.819 --> 00:03:27.360
 But still, it's to be clearly a prominent road so that no one can miss it.

00:03:27.460 --> 00:03:28.960
 It should be free from obstacles.

00:03:30.300 --> 00:03:31.780
 No one's going to stumble on this way.

00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:32.719
 There'll be no accidents.

00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:34.439
 No highway maintenance necessary.

00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:36.939
 God says, get rid of the boulders.

00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:41.420
 I want you to get rid of those fallen trees.

00:03:41.419 --> 00:03:44.979
 I want you to fill in those gullies so that they'll no longer be in the way.

00:03:47.079 --> 00:03:48.639
 From exile in Babylon.

00:03:50.099 --> 00:03:51.039
 There'll be a road.

00:03:52.239 --> 00:03:58.619
 No, those who walk this highway have already trodden, haven't they, the path from Babylon.

00:03:59.819 --> 00:04:08.279
 The highway is to take God's people through these present trials of this life and through their struggles to their final home.

00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:09.159
 God's home.

00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:10.739
 That's what this highway is about.

00:04:12.219 --> 00:04:17.279
 It's a highway to the final destination, the kingdom of God, which lay in the future for them.

00:04:17.779 --> 00:04:19.300
 And still lays in the future for us.

00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.860
 It's a highway for you and I to walk on.

00:04:23.019 --> 00:04:27.319
 And it's a highway, God says, there are to be no obstacles that will prevent us ultimately.

00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:32.979
 There'll be no obstacles that will prevent us from getting to the final destination as God's people.

00:04:32.980 --> 00:04:35.780
 And that's interesting, isn't it?

00:04:35.780 --> 00:04:45.060
 Because the biggest obstacle to people making it to God's home, God's dwelling place, his kingdom, is God's holiness and our sin.

00:04:45.060 --> 00:04:49.259
 And that's what Isaiah moves right into in verse 15.

00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:50.040
 You see what he says?

00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:57.420
 For thus says the one who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is holy.

00:04:57.420 --> 00:05:00.439
 I will dwell in the high and holy place.

00:05:01.060 --> 00:05:04.040
 And also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit.

00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:08.319
 And again, verse 15 is a flashback.

00:05:09.220 --> 00:05:12.040
 It's a flashback to an earlier part of Isaiah.

00:05:12.340 --> 00:05:15.319
 He uses language which would remind his listeners.

00:05:16.180 --> 00:05:17.379
 We've heard this before.

00:05:17.379 --> 00:05:21.060
 And it's to point you back, isn't it, to Isaiah chapter 6.

00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.800
 Let me remind you of how Isaiah 6 opened.

00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:25.959
 In the year that King Uzziah died.

00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:31.680
 I saw the Lord, Isaiah says, seated on a throne, high and exalted.

00:05:32.100 --> 00:05:34.060
 And the train of his robe filled the temple.

00:05:35.019 --> 00:05:37.639
 And above him was Saras with six wings.

00:05:39.719 --> 00:05:41.420
 With two wings they covered their faces.

00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:43.659
 With two wings they covered their feet.

00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:45.319
 And with two they were flying.

00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:51.860
 And the angels called to one another, holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty.

00:05:52.719 --> 00:05:54.699
 The whole earth is full of his glory.

00:05:55.139 --> 00:06:01.420
 And at the sound of their voices, the doorposts and the threshold shook.

00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:04.819
 And the temple was filled with smoke.

00:06:04.939 --> 00:06:07.920
 And Isaiah is now reminding us, in case anyone has forgotten,

00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:11.339
 through these 50 chapters that have gone past,

00:06:12.459 --> 00:06:14.159
 that who this God is.

00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:16.860
 He is the God who is in charge.

00:06:17.219 --> 00:06:19.759
 He is the God who is the rightful ruler of the universe.

00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:24.439
 And who therefore has got the ultimate authority in your life and in mine.

00:06:24.540 --> 00:06:26.500
 He is the God who is above all things.

00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.560
 He is exultant and resplendent.

00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.560
 And he is the God who is holy.

00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:37.280
 And so here in chapter 57 we're told that his name is holy.

00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.879
 His name has a holiness attached to it.

00:06:42.340 --> 00:06:45.519
 But here we're told he is actually called holy.

00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.079
 Because in the Bible names always mean something, don't they?

00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:56.180
 In the Bible a name points to a person's character, to their nature.

00:06:56.180 --> 00:07:00.719
 And God's name is holy because at his core he is holy.

00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:06.160
 That is because the seraphim, they call back and forth in the temple,

00:07:06.520 --> 00:07:10.200
 holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty.

00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:13.940
 It's not enough for them to double the word in emphasis.

00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.780
 In essence they create a super supermative.

00:07:17.779 --> 00:07:22.879
 To express what their God is like and how holy he is.

00:07:23.219 --> 00:07:25.059
 The word holy literally means waiting.

00:07:27.479 --> 00:07:32.419
 Essentially to say that God is holy is to say that God is God.

00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.399
 It points to his separateness.

00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:39.779
 It points to his moral purity and perfection.

00:07:40.479 --> 00:07:43.959
 His holiness is at the very core of his identity.

00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:49.959
 It is his utterly unique divine essence.

00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:53.919
 Because it defines everything that he is.

00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:56.539
 And everything that he does.

00:07:56.819 --> 00:07:57.699
 His name is holy.

00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:02.859
 And you and I will never be able to grasp what the Bible is about.

00:08:03.979 --> 00:08:07.620
 You will never understand why you need the gospel.

00:08:08.019 --> 00:08:11.359
 You will never understand the good news of the Lord Jesus

00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:14.819
 if you don't start with God's holiness.

00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:17.319
 You won't get it.

00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:21.520
 You'll never understand the problem

00:08:21.520 --> 00:08:24.360
 unless you start with God's holiness.

00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:29.540
 And so I think that's partly the problem with it.

00:08:29.620 --> 00:08:32.399
 Why there are so many half-hearted

00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:36.120
 in church, out of church, are they Christian, are they not Christian people.

00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:42.539
 Because they've never really understood that God is holy.

00:08:44.539 --> 00:08:47.779
 P.T. Forsyth was an eminent Scottish minister and theologian

00:08:47.779 --> 00:08:50.679
 at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century.

00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:53.539
 Here's how he explains the centrality of God's holiness.

00:08:54.820 --> 00:08:57.820
 He says the holiness of God is the real foundation of religion.

00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:02.620
 It is certainly the rule and interest of the Christian religion.

00:09:02.620 --> 00:09:07.000
 In front of all our prayer or works stands,

00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.299
 hallowed be thy name.

00:09:10.659 --> 00:09:12.799
 God's holiness is the interest

00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:15.360
 which all the rest of it serves.

00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:18.799
 Neither love, grace and faith nor sin

00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:20.440
 has any meaning

00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:22.259
 but a passing meaning

00:09:22.259 --> 00:09:24.620
 except that they rest on the holiness of God.

00:09:25.659 --> 00:09:27.259
 Except as they arise from it

00:09:27.259 --> 00:09:28.560
 and return to it.

00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:30.440
 Except as they satisfy it.

00:09:30.940 --> 00:09:32.440
 Show it forth and set it up.

00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:34.519
 And secure it everywhere and forever.

00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:36.159
 Love

00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:39.240
 is but his holiness outgoing.

00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:40.919
 Sin

00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.159
 is but its defiance.

00:09:44.019 --> 00:09:44.500
 Grace

00:09:44.500 --> 00:09:46.940
 is but its action on sin.

00:09:47.460 --> 00:09:48.139
 The cross

00:09:48.139 --> 00:09:49.720
 is but its victory.

00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:50.600
 Faith

00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:52.000
 is but its worship.

00:09:53.460 --> 00:09:54.740
 The holiness of God

00:09:54.740 --> 00:09:56.259
 is the foundation of

00:09:56.259 --> 00:09:57.159
 everything.

00:09:57.539 --> 00:09:59.200
 Everything that we believe.

00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:03.640
 And that of course

00:10:03.640 --> 00:10:05.600
 leaves us in an enormous predicament.

00:10:06.800 --> 00:10:08.320
 Because to put it bluntly

00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:09.240
 God is holy

00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:10.379
 and you and I am not.

00:10:12.680 --> 00:10:13.900
 Isaiah describes us

00:10:13.900 --> 00:10:15.620
 and how God's natural attitude

00:10:15.620 --> 00:10:16.420
 is towards us.

00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:17.320
 Look at verse 17.

00:10:17.740 --> 00:10:19.560
 For I will not contend forever

00:10:19.560 --> 00:10:21.420
 nor will I always be angry

00:10:21.419 --> 00:10:22.240
 for the spirit

00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:23.219
 would grow faint

00:10:23.219 --> 00:10:23.979
 before me

00:10:23.979 --> 00:10:25.360
 and the breath

00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:26.079
 of life

00:10:26.079 --> 00:10:27.079
 I made.

00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:29.240
 Because of the iniquity

00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:30.819
 of his unjust gain

00:10:30.819 --> 00:10:31.879
 I was angry.

00:10:32.439 --> 00:10:33.379
 I struck him.

00:10:34.059 --> 00:10:35.240
 I hid my face

00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:36.299
 and was angry.

00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:38.860
 But he went on

00:10:38.860 --> 00:10:39.519
 back sliding

00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:40.740
 in the way of his own heart.

00:10:43.059 --> 00:10:43.919
 God could have pointed

00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:45.019
 to countless things

00:10:45.019 --> 00:10:47.019
 on ways in which we act

00:10:47.019 --> 00:10:48.279
 that enrage him rightly.

00:10:49.220 --> 00:10:50.559
 Here he just highlights

00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:51.600
 our sinful greed.

00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:52.720
 Specifically

00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:53.740
 the way that we

00:10:53.740 --> 00:10:55.019
 disadvantage others

00:10:55.019 --> 00:10:55.600
 in order to

00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:56.580
 advantage ourselves.

00:10:57.779 --> 00:10:58.720
 Always looking

00:10:58.720 --> 00:10:59.980
 to put number one

00:10:59.980 --> 00:11:01.320
 in the right place

00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:01.899
 so to speak.

00:11:01.899 --> 00:11:04.079
 Perhaps what is

00:11:04.079 --> 00:11:04.840
 most saddling here

00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:05.419
 is not so much

00:11:05.419 --> 00:11:06.319
 the particular sin

00:11:06.319 --> 00:11:07.319
 to which God refers

00:11:07.319 --> 00:11:08.620
 but what happens

00:11:08.620 --> 00:11:09.639
 after he punishes

00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:10.379
 those who rebelled

00:11:10.379 --> 00:11:10.980
 against him.

00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:13.299
 He says

00:11:13.299 --> 00:11:14.740
 no matter how much

00:11:14.740 --> 00:11:15.720
 no matter how much

00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:16.840
 I punish those

00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:18.059
 no matter how much

00:11:18.059 --> 00:11:19.620
 I warn those

00:11:19.620 --> 00:11:21.840
 no matter how much

00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:22.639
 I try to get them

00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:23.360
 to move in a different

00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:23.959
 direction

00:11:23.959 --> 00:11:25.259
 they keep going

00:11:25.259 --> 00:11:26.759
 in the same direction.

00:11:27.319 --> 00:11:28.059
 They go on

00:11:28.059 --> 00:11:28.720
 by sliding

00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:29.100
 in the way

00:11:29.100 --> 00:11:29.779
 of his own heart.

00:11:29.779 --> 00:11:32.179
 Is that what

00:11:32.179 --> 00:11:33.279
 Einstein defined

00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:33.980
 as his sanity?

00:11:34.179 --> 00:11:35.399
 Doing the same thing

00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:36.699
 over and over again

00:11:36.699 --> 00:11:38.179
 expecting different results.

00:11:39.620 --> 00:11:40.399
 And that is what we do.

00:11:40.459 --> 00:11:41.519
 We continue somehow

00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:42.379
 in the way of rebellion.

00:11:44.959 --> 00:11:45.759
 God somehow

00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:47.100
 seeks to intervene

00:11:47.100 --> 00:11:48.199
 in the person's life

00:11:48.199 --> 00:11:49.179
 from walking

00:11:49.179 --> 00:11:50.779
 their own proud way.

00:11:51.199 --> 00:11:52.159
 He tries to get

00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:52.759
 their attention

00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:53.459
 so that they will

00:11:53.459 --> 00:11:54.360
 change direction

00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:55.639
 and change course.

00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:56.379
 But what do they do?

00:11:56.439 --> 00:11:57.039
 What do we do?

00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:00.059
 Maybe God is trying

00:12:00.059 --> 00:12:01.199
 to get your attention

00:12:01.199 --> 00:12:01.599
 today.

00:12:03.099 --> 00:12:04.339
 He warns us.

00:12:05.319 --> 00:12:06.439
 He chastises us.

00:12:07.319 --> 00:12:08.139
 And we get up

00:12:08.139 --> 00:12:09.159
 and we keep going

00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:10.059
 in the same direction

00:12:10.059 --> 00:12:12.120
 as we were before.

00:12:12.579 --> 00:12:13.299
 God is holy

00:12:13.299 --> 00:12:14.219
 and we are not.

00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:16.860
 And that is a barrier

00:12:16.860 --> 00:12:17.740
 to you and I

00:12:17.740 --> 00:12:19.059
 receiving God's

00:12:19.059 --> 00:12:20.240
 hospitality and welcome.

00:12:22.719 --> 00:12:23.159
 Interestingly

00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:24.059
 God indicates here

00:12:24.059 --> 00:12:24.879
 that despite the fact

00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:25.299
 he is holy

00:12:25.299 --> 00:12:26.079
 and we are not

00:12:26.079 --> 00:12:26.779
 which creates

00:12:26.779 --> 00:12:27.319
 this barrier

00:12:27.319 --> 00:12:28.179
 he is willing

00:12:28.179 --> 00:12:29.259
 to show hospitality.

00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:31.740
 Or more specifically

00:12:31.740 --> 00:12:32.259
 he is willing

00:12:32.259 --> 00:12:32.959
 to dwell

00:12:32.959 --> 00:12:34.719
 with a certain

00:12:34.719 --> 00:12:35.199
 group of people.

00:12:35.359 --> 00:12:36.319
 Look at how he defines

00:12:36.319 --> 00:12:37.019
 that group of people

00:12:37.019 --> 00:12:38.519
 in verses 16 and 17.

00:12:44.019 --> 00:12:44.799
 For I will not

00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:45.500
 contend forever

00:12:45.500 --> 00:12:46.299
 nor will I always

00:12:46.299 --> 00:12:46.740
 be angry

00:12:46.740 --> 00:12:47.399
 for the spirit

00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:48.139
 would grow faint

00:12:48.139 --> 00:12:48.799
 before me.

00:12:50.819 --> 00:12:51.479
 And the breath

00:12:51.479 --> 00:12:52.299
 of life that I made

00:12:52.299 --> 00:12:53.219
 because of the iniquity

00:12:53.219 --> 00:12:54.039
 of his unjust gain

00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:54.879
 I was angry.

00:12:55.019 --> 00:12:55.519
 I struck him.

00:12:55.579 --> 00:12:56.199
 I hid my face

00:12:56.199 --> 00:12:57.279
 and was angry.

00:12:58.139 --> 00:12:58.939
 But he went on

00:12:58.939 --> 00:12:59.439
 in the way

00:12:59.439 --> 00:13:01.159
 back sliding

00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:01.919
 in his own heart.

00:13:06.199 --> 00:13:06.439
 Sorry

00:13:06.439 --> 00:13:07.259
 look at verse 15

00:13:07.259 --> 00:13:08.039
 this verse I should have read.

00:13:08.579 --> 00:13:09.059
 For thus says

00:13:09.059 --> 00:13:09.779
 the one who is high

00:13:09.779 --> 00:13:10.579
 and lifted up

00:13:10.579 --> 00:13:11.179
 who inhabits

00:13:11.179 --> 00:13:11.539
 eternity

00:13:11.539 --> 00:13:12.579
 whose name is holy

00:13:12.579 --> 00:13:14.620
 I will dwell

00:13:14.620 --> 00:13:15.019
 in the high

00:13:15.019 --> 00:13:15.659
 and holy place

00:13:15.659 --> 00:13:16.959
 but also with him

00:13:16.959 --> 00:13:18.240
 who is of contrite

00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:19.339
 and lowly spirit.

00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:20.899
 Do you see

00:13:20.899 --> 00:13:21.779
 who God commits

00:13:21.779 --> 00:13:22.459
 to dwelling with?

00:13:22.460 --> 00:13:25.639
 He commits

00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:26.019
 to dwell

00:13:26.019 --> 00:13:26.420
 with people

00:13:26.420 --> 00:13:27.320
 who are contrite

00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:28.160
 and who are lowly

00:13:28.160 --> 00:13:28.860
 and who are humble

00:13:28.860 --> 00:13:29.519
 and you might say

00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:29.960
 okay

00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:31.300
 so these people

00:13:31.300 --> 00:13:32.019
 are humble

00:13:32.019 --> 00:13:32.700
 but that doesn't

00:13:32.700 --> 00:13:33.460
 make them holy.

00:13:34.800 --> 00:13:35.500
 They've still

00:13:35.500 --> 00:13:35.920
 messed up

00:13:35.920 --> 00:13:36.820
 like the rest of us.

00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:38.120
 They deserve

00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:38.580
 the barrier

00:13:38.580 --> 00:13:39.600
 to hospitality

00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:40.940
 just like everybody else

00:13:40.940 --> 00:13:41.379
 and you'd be

00:13:41.379 --> 00:13:42.100
 absolutely right.

00:13:43.680 --> 00:13:44.759
 The difference is

00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:46.040
 because these people

00:13:46.040 --> 00:13:46.940
 who are humble

00:13:46.940 --> 00:13:48.540
 in their humility

00:13:48.540 --> 00:13:49.240
 have recognised

00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:50.019
 their sin

00:13:50.019 --> 00:13:52.120
 and they've recognised

00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:52.899
 what has caused

00:13:52.899 --> 00:13:53.600
 the barrier

00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:54.939
 they acknowledge

00:13:54.939 --> 00:13:55.899
 their abject

00:13:55.899 --> 00:13:56.579
 shortcomings

00:13:56.579 --> 00:13:57.460
 before God

00:13:57.460 --> 00:13:59.120
 they recognise

00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:00.379
 that God is God

00:14:00.379 --> 00:14:01.259
 and that they are not

00:14:01.259 --> 00:14:01.980
 and so they come

00:14:01.980 --> 00:14:03.379
 humbly before God

00:14:03.379 --> 00:14:05.600
 they have nothing

00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:06.579
 which is in contrast

00:14:06.579 --> 00:14:07.919
 to how Isaiah portrays

00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:08.319
 the bullish

00:14:08.319 --> 00:14:08.860
 and the wicked

00:14:08.860 --> 00:14:11.120
 the rebellious

00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:12.399
 because one of the traits

00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:13.360
 of that kind of person

00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:13.919
 is that

00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:14.699
 they're not humble

00:14:14.699 --> 00:14:15.659
 they are proud

00:14:15.659 --> 00:14:18.539
 Lewis Smeet

00:14:18.539 --> 00:14:19.959
 describes the opposite

00:14:19.959 --> 00:14:20.699
 side

00:14:20.699 --> 00:14:22.079
 to a contrite

00:14:22.079 --> 00:14:22.759
 and lonely spirit

00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:23.480
 listen to what he says

00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:23.819
 he says

00:14:23.819 --> 00:14:25.659
 pride in the spiritual sense

00:14:25.659 --> 00:14:26.939
 is a refusal

00:14:26.939 --> 00:14:28.019
 to let God

00:14:28.019 --> 00:14:29.039
 be God

00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:31.240
 it is to grab

00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:32.259
 God's stages

00:14:32.259 --> 00:14:33.360
 for your own self

00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:34.379
 it is turning down

00:14:34.379 --> 00:14:35.500
 God's invitation

00:14:35.500 --> 00:14:37.699
 to join the

00:14:37.699 --> 00:14:39.959
 dance of life

00:14:39.959 --> 00:14:40.579
 as a creature

00:14:40.579 --> 00:14:41.819
 in God's world

00:14:41.819 --> 00:14:43.039
 and wishing instead

00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:44.120
 to be the creator

00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:46.340
 independent

00:14:46.340 --> 00:14:48.620
 relying on your own

00:14:48.620 --> 00:14:49.100
 resources

00:14:49.100 --> 00:14:50.200
 that is the greatest

00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:50.720
 delusion

00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:52.720
 the delusional

00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:53.779
 fantasy of all

00:14:53.779 --> 00:14:54.419
 fantasies

00:14:54.419 --> 00:14:55.560
 the cosmic put on

00:14:55.560 --> 00:14:57.759
 you see the proud

00:14:57.759 --> 00:14:58.840
 person is the person

00:14:58.840 --> 00:14:59.580
 who defines

00:14:59.580 --> 00:15:00.720
 the rules

00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:02.600
 by which they live

00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:03.740
 in a small way

00:15:03.740 --> 00:15:04.580
 or a big way

00:15:04.580 --> 00:15:05.840
 the proud person

00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:07.080
 always wants to

00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:07.500
 insist

00:15:07.500 --> 00:15:08.980
 they are right

00:15:08.980 --> 00:15:11.560
 the proud person

00:15:11.560 --> 00:15:12.080
 wants to think

00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:12.899
 that their record

00:15:12.899 --> 00:15:13.340
 in life

00:15:13.340 --> 00:15:14.039
 will somehow

00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:14.779
 be good enough

00:15:14.779 --> 00:15:15.199
 for God

00:15:15.199 --> 00:15:15.819
 to accept

00:15:15.819 --> 00:15:18.539
 the proud person

00:15:18.539 --> 00:15:19.299
 sees ultimately

00:15:19.299 --> 00:15:19.980
 no need

00:15:19.980 --> 00:15:20.439
 for God

00:15:20.439 --> 00:15:20.919
 in life

00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:23.500
 because they've

00:15:23.500 --> 00:15:23.839
 got it all

00:15:23.839 --> 00:15:24.299
 figured out

00:15:24.299 --> 00:15:25.939
 and they don't

00:15:25.939 --> 00:15:26.199
 want to be

00:15:26.199 --> 00:15:26.719
 dependent upon

00:15:26.719 --> 00:15:27.539
 anyone else

00:15:27.539 --> 00:15:31.579
 and God

00:15:31.579 --> 00:15:31.959
 says

00:15:31.959 --> 00:15:32.719
 I'm sorry

00:15:32.719 --> 00:15:35.039
 but for that

00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:35.659
 kind of person

00:15:35.659 --> 00:15:36.599
 I do not have

00:15:36.599 --> 00:15:37.480
 any accommodation

00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:38.319
 in my dwelling

00:15:38.319 --> 00:15:38.719
 place

00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:41.600
 for people

00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:42.000
 who are

00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:42.779
 proud

00:15:42.779 --> 00:15:46.340
 there's no room

00:15:46.340 --> 00:15:49.100
 but I delight

00:15:49.100 --> 00:15:49.740
 to dwell

00:15:49.740 --> 00:15:50.259
 with the humble

00:15:50.259 --> 00:15:51.019
 and the contrite

00:15:51.019 --> 00:15:52.720
 the lowly

00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:55.240
 and so God

00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:55.740
 in this way

00:15:55.740 --> 00:15:56.379
 is not like

00:15:56.379 --> 00:15:57.040
 most people

00:15:57.040 --> 00:15:59.600
 upward mobility

00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:00.540
 is the name

00:16:00.540 --> 00:16:01.019
 of the game

00:16:01.019 --> 00:16:03.060
 there would be

00:16:03.060 --> 00:16:03.740
 no neighbourhood

00:16:03.740 --> 00:16:04.560
 too classy

00:16:04.560 --> 00:16:05.320
 for us to live

00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:05.820
 if we had

00:16:05.820 --> 00:16:06.220
 the money

00:16:06.220 --> 00:16:08.140
 but God

00:16:08.140 --> 00:16:08.600
 shows that

00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:09.200
 he doesn't

00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:10.060
 value upward

00:16:10.060 --> 00:16:10.700
 mobility

00:16:10.700 --> 00:16:12.260
 he values

00:16:12.260 --> 00:16:12.820
 downward

00:16:12.820 --> 00:16:13.480
 mobility

00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:16.080
 it's not

00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:16.540
 because God

00:16:16.540 --> 00:16:17.260
 feels uncomfortable

00:16:17.260 --> 00:16:17.860
 dwelling in the

00:16:17.860 --> 00:16:18.340
 high and holy

00:16:18.340 --> 00:16:18.820
 place

00:16:18.820 --> 00:16:19.379
 which Isaiah

00:16:19.379 --> 00:16:20.100
 speaks of

00:16:20.100 --> 00:16:20.400
 it's not

00:16:20.400 --> 00:16:20.800
 because he

00:16:20.800 --> 00:16:21.100
 feels

00:16:21.100 --> 00:16:22.400
 out there

00:16:22.400 --> 00:16:22.680
 on his

00:16:22.680 --> 00:16:23.160
 own

00:16:23.160 --> 00:16:23.520
 it's not

00:16:23.520 --> 00:16:24.060
 because he's

00:16:24.060 --> 00:16:24.860
 somehow bothered

00:16:24.860 --> 00:16:25.280
 with his

00:16:25.280 --> 00:16:25.820
 surroundings

00:16:25.820 --> 00:16:27.280
 and he's lonely

00:16:27.280 --> 00:16:27.920
 after all these

00:16:27.920 --> 00:16:28.780
 years of eternity

00:16:28.779 --> 00:16:30.339
 no he values

00:16:30.339 --> 00:16:31.500
 downward mobility

00:16:31.500 --> 00:16:32.500
 because down

00:16:32.500 --> 00:16:33.120
 low

00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:35.139
 down low

00:16:35.139 --> 00:16:36.059
 is where God

00:16:36.059 --> 00:16:36.959
 finds people

00:16:36.959 --> 00:16:37.439
 that are open

00:16:37.439 --> 00:16:37.839
 to him

00:16:37.839 --> 00:16:42.539
 and so to the

00:16:42.539 --> 00:16:43.579
 extent in which

00:16:43.579 --> 00:16:44.459
 you are resistant

00:16:44.459 --> 00:16:45.379
 to God

00:16:45.379 --> 00:16:48.259
 the extent that

00:16:48.259 --> 00:16:48.839
 you might be

00:16:48.839 --> 00:16:49.759
 unwilling to be

00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:50.459
 open to God

00:16:50.459 --> 00:16:51.139
 that extent

00:16:51.139 --> 00:16:52.579
 is the indicator

00:16:52.579 --> 00:16:54.199
 of how much

00:16:54.199 --> 00:16:54.839
 pride is still

00:16:54.839 --> 00:16:55.459
 dominant in your

00:16:55.459 --> 00:16:55.819
 life

00:16:55.820 --> 00:16:59.120
 because it is

00:16:59.120 --> 00:16:59.580
 the humble

00:16:59.580 --> 00:17:00.520
 and the lowly

00:17:00.520 --> 00:17:00.960
 who God

00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:01.580
 invites to

00:17:01.580 --> 00:17:01.980
 dwell with

00:17:01.980 --> 00:17:02.220
 him

00:17:02.220 --> 00:17:05.000
 and that is

00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:05.519
 all very well

00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:06.140
 God is holy

00:17:06.140 --> 00:17:06.519
 and we are

00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:06.779
 not

00:17:06.779 --> 00:17:07.299
 God does

00:17:07.299 --> 00:17:07.559
 not

00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:08.720
 God does

00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:09.460
 invite those

00:17:09.460 --> 00:17:09.960
 to dwell

00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:10.360
 with him

00:17:10.360 --> 00:17:10.900
 because they

00:17:10.900 --> 00:17:11.360
 are humble

00:17:11.360 --> 00:17:12.140
 and contrite

00:17:12.140 --> 00:17:13.460
 but the question

00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:14.120
 is how can

00:17:14.120 --> 00:17:14.840
 they do that

00:17:14.840 --> 00:17:15.720
 if he is

00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:16.100
 holy

00:17:16.100 --> 00:17:19.059
 how can God

00:17:19.059 --> 00:17:19.660
 invite people

00:17:19.660 --> 00:17:20.460
 to travel on

00:17:20.460 --> 00:17:21.160
 this highway

00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:22.160
 to his dwelling

00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:23.039
 place when

00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:23.880
 this massive

00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:24.740
 gap still

00:17:24.740 --> 00:17:25.320
 exists

00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:27.519
 and so we

00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:27.859
 look at the

00:17:27.859 --> 00:17:28.480
 means to

00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:28.759
 God's

00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:29.299
 hospitality

00:17:29.299 --> 00:17:29.879
 and Isaiah

00:17:29.879 --> 00:17:30.500
 shows us

00:17:30.500 --> 00:17:30.960
 here God

00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:31.700
 can do it

00:17:31.700 --> 00:17:32.960
 because he

00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:33.339
 is the

00:17:33.339 --> 00:17:34.240
 holy God

00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:35.399
 who in

00:17:35.399 --> 00:17:36.000
 order to be

00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:36.419
 humble

00:17:36.419 --> 00:17:37.399
 hospitable

00:17:37.399 --> 00:17:37.879
 heals

00:17:37.879 --> 00:17:38.379
 the humble

00:17:38.379 --> 00:17:40.419
 he heals

00:17:40.419 --> 00:17:40.679
 the humble

00:17:40.679 --> 00:17:41.240
 two steps

00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:42.339
 so how does

00:17:42.339 --> 00:17:43.079
 God do it

00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:44.359
 number one

00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:45.000
 God acquits

00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:45.619
 the guilty

00:17:45.619 --> 00:17:48.480
 he acquits

00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:48.960
 the humble

00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:49.299
 look at

00:17:49.299 --> 00:17:50.339
 verse 16

00:17:50.339 --> 00:17:53.179
 for I

00:17:53.179 --> 00:17:53.539
 will not

00:17:53.539 --> 00:17:53.959
 contend

00:17:53.959 --> 00:17:54.259
 forever

00:17:54.259 --> 00:17:54.679
 nor will

00:17:54.679 --> 00:17:54.819
 I

00:17:54.819 --> 00:17:55.299
 always

00:17:55.299 --> 00:17:55.659
 be

00:17:55.659 --> 00:17:56.299
 angry

00:17:56.299 --> 00:17:57.659
 for the

00:17:57.659 --> 00:17:58.000
 spirit

00:17:58.000 --> 00:17:58.199
 would

00:17:58.199 --> 00:17:58.480
 grow

00:17:58.480 --> 00:17:58.959
 faint

00:17:58.959 --> 00:17:59.399
 before

00:17:59.399 --> 00:17:59.740
 me

00:17:59.740 --> 00:18:01.019
 and the

00:18:01.019 --> 00:18:01.419
 breath

00:18:01.419 --> 00:18:01.959
 of life

00:18:01.959 --> 00:18:02.299
 that I

00:18:02.299 --> 00:18:02.759
 made

00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:06.659
 he

00:18:06.659 --> 00:18:07.159
 says

00:18:07.159 --> 00:18:08.379
 he

00:18:08.379 --> 00:18:08.619
 enters

00:18:08.619 --> 00:18:09.480
 in

00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:09.679
 doesn't

00:18:09.679 --> 00:18:09.839
 he

00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:10.119
 to a

00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:10.419
 kind of

00:18:10.419 --> 00:18:10.799
 legal

00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:11.319
 proceeding

00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:11.720
 against

00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:12.099
 someone

00:18:12.099 --> 00:18:13.480
 and God

00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:13.919
 says

00:18:13.919 --> 00:18:14.439
 there will

00:18:14.439 --> 00:18:14.899
 come a

00:18:14.899 --> 00:18:15.159
 time

00:18:15.159 --> 00:18:15.439
 when I

00:18:15.439 --> 00:18:15.759
 will not

00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:16.319
 just drop

00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:16.980
 the charges

00:18:16.980 --> 00:18:17.339
 because I

00:18:17.339 --> 00:18:17.879
 can't do

00:18:17.879 --> 00:18:18.199
 that

00:18:18.199 --> 00:18:19.599
 but I

00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:19.719
 will

00:18:19.719 --> 00:18:20.019
 declare

00:18:20.019 --> 00:18:20.240
 you

00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:20.599
 not

00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:21.179
 guilty

00:18:21.179 --> 00:18:24.159
 God

00:18:24.159 --> 00:18:24.319
 will

00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:24.639
 somehow

00:18:24.639 --> 00:18:25.399
 find a

00:18:25.399 --> 00:18:25.740
 way to

00:18:25.740 --> 00:18:26.500
 satisfy

00:18:26.500 --> 00:18:27.639
 his

00:18:27.639 --> 00:18:28.000
 legal

00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:28.819
 requirements

00:18:28.819 --> 00:18:30.099
 and Isaiah

00:18:30.099 --> 00:18:30.719
 says God

00:18:30.719 --> 00:18:31.199
 will also

00:18:31.199 --> 00:18:31.619
 bring an

00:18:31.619 --> 00:18:32.179
 end to

00:18:32.179 --> 00:18:32.319
 his

00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:32.699
 anger

00:18:32.699 --> 00:18:35.599
 when God

00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:36.000
 refers to

00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:36.099
 his

00:18:36.099 --> 00:18:36.279
 anger

00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:36.599
 he's not

00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:36.980
 talking about

00:18:36.980 --> 00:18:37.319
 having a

00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:38.000
 short fuse

00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:38.319
 or a

00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:38.539
 bad

00:18:38.539 --> 00:18:39.000
 temper

00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:39.399
 or a

00:18:39.399 --> 00:18:39.740
 malicious

00:18:39.740 --> 00:18:40.219
 spirit

00:18:40.219 --> 00:18:40.579
 like we

00:18:40.579 --> 00:18:40.959
 might have

00:18:40.959 --> 00:18:41.279
 it's not

00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:41.459
 some

00:18:41.459 --> 00:18:42.000
 arbitrary

00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:42.539
 action

00:18:42.539 --> 00:18:43.799
 no

00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:44.160
 his

00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:44.619
 anger

00:18:44.619 --> 00:18:45.099
 or his

00:18:45.099 --> 00:18:45.480
 wrath

00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:45.920
 is his

00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:46.680
 personal

00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:47.500
 righteous

00:18:47.500 --> 00:18:48.299
 constant

00:18:48.299 --> 00:18:48.960
 hostility

00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:49.539
 to evil

00:18:49.539 --> 00:18:51.880
 it is his

00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:52.420
 settled

00:18:52.420 --> 00:18:53.420
 refusal to

00:18:53.420 --> 00:18:53.839
 compromise

00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.079
 with evil

00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:56.839
 and his

00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:57.519
 resolve that

00:18:57.519 --> 00:18:58.039
 one day

00:18:58.039 --> 00:18:58.700
 completely

00:18:58.700 --> 00:18:59.279
 and utterly

00:18:59.279 --> 00:18:59.579
 he will

00:18:59.579 --> 00:19:00.160
 condemn it

00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:00.579
 which means

00:19:00.579 --> 00:19:00.779
 he will

00:19:00.779 --> 00:19:01.039
 bring an

00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:01.740
 end to it

00:19:01.740 --> 00:19:03.839
 and so

00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:04.380
 his anger

00:19:04.380 --> 00:19:04.900
 is a

00:19:04.900 --> 00:19:05.359
 rightful

00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:05.720
 anger

00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:07.619
 and he

00:19:07.619 --> 00:19:08.119
 promises to

00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:08.400
 deal

00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:09.319
 comprehensively

00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:09.819
 with evil

00:19:09.819 --> 00:19:10.180
 and God

00:19:10.180 --> 00:19:10.839
 promises here

00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:11.079
 that he

00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:11.519
 plans to

00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:11.940
 do that

00:19:11.940 --> 00:19:12.500
 and he

00:19:12.500 --> 00:19:12.820
 can only

00:19:12.820 --> 00:19:13.180
 bring an

00:19:13.180 --> 00:19:13.519
 end to

00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:13.660
 his

00:19:13.660 --> 00:19:13.920
 anger

00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:14.500
 by dealing

00:19:14.500 --> 00:19:15.000
 with it

00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:16.720
 by dealing

00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:17.019
 with the

00:19:17.019 --> 00:19:17.620
 reason for

00:19:17.620 --> 00:19:17.900
 which

00:19:17.900 --> 00:19:19.240
 for that

00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:19.620
 anger

00:19:19.620 --> 00:19:20.759
 and the

00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:21.519
 reason for

00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:22.080
 God's

00:19:22.080 --> 00:19:22.440
 anger is

00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:22.740
 our

00:19:22.740 --> 00:19:23.120
 evil

00:19:23.120 --> 00:19:27.680
 and that's

00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:28.140
 just as well

00:19:28.140 --> 00:19:28.759
 because if God

00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:29.660
 was not going

00:19:29.660 --> 00:19:30.400
 to bring his

00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:31.320
 anger to an

00:19:31.320 --> 00:19:32.259
 end it would

00:19:32.259 --> 00:19:32.840
 mean the end

00:19:32.840 --> 00:19:33.360
 of all living

00:19:33.360 --> 00:19:33.900
 things

00:19:33.900 --> 00:19:35.200
 and it would

00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:35.600
 mean the end

00:19:35.600 --> 00:19:35.980
 of you and

00:19:35.980 --> 00:19:36.200
 me

00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:37.940
 and God

00:19:37.940 --> 00:19:38.519
 promises that

00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:38.940
 he is going

00:19:38.940 --> 00:19:39.480
 to deal with

00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:39.820
 his anger

00:19:39.819 --> 00:19:40.059
 but he

00:19:40.059 --> 00:19:40.659
 acquits the

00:19:40.659 --> 00:19:40.939
 guilty

00:19:40.939 --> 00:19:41.240
 and the

00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:41.799
 second step

00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:42.039
 is the

00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:42.240
 healing

00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:42.700
 self

00:19:42.700 --> 00:19:43.019
 so look

00:19:43.019 --> 00:19:43.259
 at verse

00:19:43.259 --> 00:19:43.879
 18

00:19:43.879 --> 00:19:46.799
 he says

00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:47.059
 I have

00:19:47.059 --> 00:19:47.519
 seen his

00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:48.079
 ways

00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:51.119
 but I

00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:51.579
 will heal

00:19:51.579 --> 00:19:51.859
 him

00:19:51.859 --> 00:19:54.539
 I will

00:19:54.539 --> 00:19:54.899
 lead him

00:19:54.899 --> 00:19:55.279
 and restore

00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:55.879
 comfort to

00:19:55.879 --> 00:19:56.220
 him and his

00:19:56.220 --> 00:19:56.700
 mourners

00:19:56.700 --> 00:19:57.299
 creating the

00:19:57.299 --> 00:19:57.720
 fruit of the

00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:57.939
 lips

00:19:57.939 --> 00:19:58.439
 peace

00:19:58.439 --> 00:20:00.159
 peace to

00:20:00.159 --> 00:20:00.639
 the far

00:20:00.639 --> 00:20:00.919
 and to

00:20:00.919 --> 00:20:01.339
 the near

00:20:01.339 --> 00:20:01.759
 says the

00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:01.939
 Lord

00:20:01.939 --> 00:20:02.419
 and I

00:20:02.419 --> 00:20:03.039
 will heal

00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:03.220
 him

00:20:03.220 --> 00:20:03.779
 now let's

00:20:03.779 --> 00:20:04.039
 just hit

00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:04.460
 the pause

00:20:04.460 --> 00:20:04.839
 button for

00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:05.200
 a moment

00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:07.500
 I think

00:20:07.500 --> 00:20:07.920
 what is God

00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:08.680
 saying here

00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:10.420
 literally he

00:20:10.420 --> 00:20:10.900
 says I've

00:20:10.900 --> 00:20:11.339
 seen his

00:20:11.339 --> 00:20:11.960
 ways

00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:13.440
 but I

00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:13.940
 will heal

00:20:13.940 --> 00:20:14.440
 him

00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:16.380
 and it's

00:20:16.380 --> 00:20:16.900
 interesting he's

00:20:16.900 --> 00:20:17.259
 talking about

00:20:17.259 --> 00:20:18.460
 individuals here

00:20:18.460 --> 00:20:20.440
 he's not talking

00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:21.180
 about a mass

00:20:21.180 --> 00:20:21.860
 of people

00:20:21.860 --> 00:20:23.660
 he's talking

00:20:23.660 --> 00:20:24.339
 about you

00:20:24.339 --> 00:20:24.660
 and he's

00:20:24.660 --> 00:20:25.000
 talking about

00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:25.380
 me

00:20:25.380 --> 00:20:27.079
 he says I've

00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:27.480
 seen your

00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:28.019
 ways

00:20:28.019 --> 00:20:30.059
 but he knows

00:20:30.059 --> 00:20:30.500
 absolutely

00:20:30.500 --> 00:20:31.259
 everything about

00:20:31.259 --> 00:20:31.500
 you

00:20:31.500 --> 00:20:32.799
 he's seen

00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:33.160
 the good

00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:33.440
 and he's

00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:33.700
 seen the

00:20:33.700 --> 00:20:33.980
 bad

00:20:33.980 --> 00:20:34.299
 he's seen

00:20:34.299 --> 00:20:34.740
 the ugly

00:20:34.740 --> 00:20:35.200
 he's seen

00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:35.839
 the successes

00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:36.839
 he's seen

00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:37.519
 the celebration

00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:37.960
 he's seen

00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:38.839
 the devastation

00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:39.119
 and the

00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:39.519
 disasters

00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:40.000
 he's seen

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:40.299
 it all

00:20:40.299 --> 00:20:40.700
 he sees

00:20:40.700 --> 00:20:40.980
 how your

00:20:40.980 --> 00:20:41.819
 thinking works

00:20:41.819 --> 00:20:43.460
 he sees

00:20:43.460 --> 00:20:44.119
 what you're

00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:44.740
 thinking right

00:20:44.740 --> 00:20:45.000
 now

00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:45.559
 he says stop

00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:46.019
 thinking about

00:20:46.019 --> 00:20:46.700
 lunch for a

00:20:46.700 --> 00:20:46.900
 minute

00:20:46.900 --> 00:20:47.539
 he knows

00:20:47.539 --> 00:20:49.619
 exactly

00:20:49.619 --> 00:20:50.960
 what you're

00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:51.200
 thinking

00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:51.519
 he knows

00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:52.140
 your heart

00:20:52.140 --> 00:20:55.460
 he knows

00:20:55.460 --> 00:20:55.720
 what you

00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:56.400
 long for

00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:02.180
 he says

00:21:02.180 --> 00:21:02.600
 don't you

00:21:02.600 --> 00:21:02.740
 know

00:21:02.740 --> 00:21:02.860
 that

00:21:02.860 --> 00:21:03.080
 that's

00:21:03.080 --> 00:21:03.660
 idolatry

00:21:03.660 --> 00:21:06.380
 to be

00:21:06.380 --> 00:21:06.660
 longing

00:21:06.660 --> 00:21:07.180
 for

00:21:07.180 --> 00:21:08.460
 all that

00:21:08.460 --> 00:21:10.160
 all the

00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:10.600
 time

00:21:10.600 --> 00:21:12.740
 and then

00:21:12.740 --> 00:21:13.620
 having said

00:21:13.620 --> 00:21:13.940
 that

00:21:13.940 --> 00:21:14.600
 he says

00:21:14.600 --> 00:21:14.800
 these

00:21:14.800 --> 00:21:15.440
 momentous

00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:15.759
 words

00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:16.519
 but I

00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:17.240
 will heal

00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:17.580
 him

00:21:17.580 --> 00:21:18.660
 I've

00:21:18.660 --> 00:21:19.060
 seen his

00:21:19.060 --> 00:21:19.519
 ways

00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:20.040
 but I

00:21:20.040 --> 00:21:20.480
 will heal

00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:20.860
 him

00:21:20.860 --> 00:21:23.920
 and that

00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:24.460
 is those

00:21:24.460 --> 00:21:25.019
 God says

00:21:25.019 --> 00:21:25.440
 who come

00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:25.740
 to me

00:21:25.740 --> 00:21:26.259
 in humility

00:21:26.259 --> 00:21:26.799
 those who

00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:27.259
 come with

00:21:27.259 --> 00:21:27.799
 contrite

00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:28.259
 broken

00:21:28.259 --> 00:21:28.819
 hearts

00:21:28.819 --> 00:21:29.180
 knowing

00:21:29.180 --> 00:21:29.539
 that the

00:21:29.539 --> 00:21:30.259
 only thing

00:21:30.259 --> 00:21:30.640
 that they

00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:31.299
 contribute to

00:21:31.299 --> 00:21:32.019
 their salvation

00:21:32.019 --> 00:21:33.099
 is their

00:21:33.099 --> 00:21:33.779
 sin from

00:21:33.779 --> 00:21:34.160
 which they

00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:34.619
 need to be

00:21:34.619 --> 00:21:34.960
 forgiven

00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:35.900
 and God

00:21:35.900 --> 00:21:36.180
 says I

00:21:36.180 --> 00:21:36.519
 will heal

00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:36.900
 them

00:21:36.900 --> 00:21:40.819
 God says

00:21:40.819 --> 00:21:41.140
 to every

00:21:41.140 --> 00:21:41.599
 person here

00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:41.920
 this morning

00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:42.279
 I've seen

00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:42.660
 your ways

00:21:42.660 --> 00:21:43.140
 everything

00:21:43.140 --> 00:21:44.839
 yes even

00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:45.119
 that

00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:45.500
 I've seen

00:21:45.500 --> 00:21:45.920
 that too

00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:47.680
 but if you

00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:48.059
 will come

00:21:48.059 --> 00:21:48.339
 to me

00:21:48.339 --> 00:21:48.680
 and come

00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:49.319
 with humility

00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:49.960
 and come

00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:50.299
 with a

00:21:50.299 --> 00:21:50.599
 broken

00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:51.039
 heart

00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:51.879
 I will

00:21:51.879 --> 00:21:52.319
 heal

00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:53.000
 you

00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:55.759
 Isaiah

00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:56.059
 in this

00:21:56.059 --> 00:21:56.279
 chapter

00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:56.559
 doesn't

00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:56.839
 explain

00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:56.980
 how

00:21:56.980 --> 00:21:57.079
 he

00:21:57.079 --> 00:21:57.140
 will

00:21:57.140 --> 00:21:57.299
 do

00:21:57.299 --> 00:21:57.559
 that

00:21:57.559 --> 00:21:57.920
 but he

00:21:57.920 --> 00:21:58.220
 did

00:21:58.220 --> 00:21:58.779
 in Isaiah

00:21:58.779 --> 00:21:59.579
 chapter 53

00:21:59.579 --> 00:22:01.079
 because in the

00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:01.900
 suffering servant

00:22:01.900 --> 00:22:02.579
 that chapter

00:22:02.579 --> 00:22:03.400
 about Jesus

00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:06.759
 the suffering

00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:07.440
 servant says

00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:08.000
 to those who

00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:08.440
 will trust

00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:09.019
 their lives

00:22:09.019 --> 00:22:09.420
 to him

00:22:09.420 --> 00:22:09.900
 I have

00:22:09.900 --> 00:22:10.339
 seen your

00:22:10.339 --> 00:22:10.700
 ways

00:22:10.700 --> 00:22:11.319
 but I

00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:12.140
 will heal

00:22:12.140 --> 00:22:12.440
 you

00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:13.880
 by dying

00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:14.880
 for you

00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:16.599
 Isaiah

00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:17.160
 53

00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:18.420
 by his

00:22:18.420 --> 00:22:19.160
 stripes

00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:20.720
 you

00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:21.279
 are healed

00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:24.660
 and Jesus

00:22:24.660 --> 00:22:25.320
 adds to the

00:22:25.320 --> 00:22:25.840
 promise here

00:22:25.840 --> 00:22:26.340
 the first

00:22:26.340 --> 00:22:26.660
 clause

00:22:26.660 --> 00:22:26.920
 for the

00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:27.200
 suffering

00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:27.500
 servant

00:22:27.500 --> 00:22:27.759
 to say

00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:28.140
 I've seen

00:22:28.140 --> 00:22:28.560
 your ways

00:22:28.560 --> 00:22:29.279
 remind us

00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:30.279
 what happened

00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:31.500
 reminds us

00:22:31.500 --> 00:22:32.500
 what happened

00:22:32.500 --> 00:22:32.900
 to Jesus

00:22:32.900 --> 00:22:33.240
 in the

00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:33.660
 garden of

00:22:33.660 --> 00:22:34.360
 Gethsemane

00:22:34.360 --> 00:22:37.759
 that night

00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:38.400
 before Jesus

00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:38.880
 was crucified

00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:39.420
 think about it

00:22:39.420 --> 00:22:39.980
 from Matthew's

00:22:39.980 --> 00:22:40.279
 gospel

00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:42.880
 we read

00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:43.259
 that Jesus

00:22:43.259 --> 00:22:44.019
 began to be

00:22:44.019 --> 00:22:44.700
 sorrowful

00:22:44.700 --> 00:22:45.320
 and troubled

00:22:45.320 --> 00:22:47.160
 and the word

00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:47.640
 trouble has got

00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:48.160
 the kind of

00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:49.100
 sense of the

00:22:49.099 --> 00:22:49.719
 word horror

00:22:49.719 --> 00:22:51.719
 mental and

00:22:51.719 --> 00:22:52.359
 spiritual

00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:52.980
 anguish

00:22:52.980 --> 00:22:53.539
 that Jesus

00:22:53.539 --> 00:22:54.199
 must have

00:22:54.199 --> 00:22:54.879
 felt this is

00:22:54.879 --> 00:22:55.480
 going to kill

00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:56.039
 me even

00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:56.419
 before he

00:22:56.419 --> 00:22:56.799
 got to the

00:22:56.799 --> 00:22:57.219
 cross

00:22:57.219 --> 00:22:57.919
 and he

00:22:57.919 --> 00:22:58.480
 tells Peter

00:22:58.480 --> 00:22:58.899
 and James

00:22:58.899 --> 00:22:59.299
 and John

00:22:59.299 --> 00:22:59.599
 that his

00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:00.639
 soul was

00:23:00.639 --> 00:23:01.279
 overwhelmed

00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:01.740
 with sorrow

00:23:01.740 --> 00:23:02.199
 to the point

00:23:02.199 --> 00:23:02.779
 of death

00:23:02.779 --> 00:23:03.919
 and in addition

00:23:03.919 --> 00:23:04.199
 to that

00:23:04.199 --> 00:23:04.779
 Luke tells

00:23:04.779 --> 00:23:05.279
 us that he

00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:06.000
 sweats

00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:07.659
 great drops

00:23:07.659 --> 00:23:08.480
 of blood

00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:10.699
 medical experts

00:23:10.699 --> 00:23:11.740
 say that it

00:23:11.740 --> 00:23:12.459
 is unusual

00:23:12.459 --> 00:23:13.139
 but possible

00:23:13.139 --> 00:23:13.679
 for blood

00:23:13.679 --> 00:23:14.159
 to pour out

00:23:14.159 --> 00:23:14.379
 of your

00:23:14.379 --> 00:23:14.959
 pores

00:23:14.959 --> 00:23:16.619
 together with

00:23:16.619 --> 00:23:16.859
 sweat

00:23:16.859 --> 00:23:17.199
 and they're

00:23:17.199 --> 00:23:17.740
 experiencing

00:23:17.740 --> 00:23:19.000
 severe shock

00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:21.539
 so what's

00:23:21.539 --> 00:23:21.960
 the deal

00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:22.599
 why is he

00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:23.200
 like that

00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:25.880
 it's not as

00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:26.240
 if Jesus

00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:26.640
 had some

00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:27.420
 new information

00:23:27.420 --> 00:23:27.740
 in the

00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:28.059
 garden

00:23:28.059 --> 00:23:28.480
 no

00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:31.160
 Jesus

00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:32.299
 doesn't say

00:23:32.299 --> 00:23:32.680
 in the goodness

00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:34.900
 oh my goodness

00:23:34.900 --> 00:23:36.079
 this is really

00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:36.519
 going to happen

00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:36.960
 I didn't think

00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:37.299
 this was going

00:23:37.299 --> 00:23:37.559
 to really

00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:37.880
 happen

00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:39.980
 he knew

00:23:39.980 --> 00:23:40.339
 he was going

00:23:40.339 --> 00:23:40.680
 to die

00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:41.039
 and why

00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:41.359
 he would

00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:41.720
 die

00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:44.960
 so it

00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:45.339
 wasn't that

00:23:45.339 --> 00:23:45.900
 the night

00:23:45.900 --> 00:23:46.519
 suddenly went

00:23:46.519 --> 00:23:46.960
 on in the

00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:47.220
 garden

00:23:47.220 --> 00:23:47.480
 and he

00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:47.880
 realised

00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:48.180
 what was

00:23:48.180 --> 00:23:48.519
 happening

00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:48.720
 it was

00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:48.980
 Jesus

00:23:48.980 --> 00:23:49.640
 a wimp

00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:52.319
 you contrast

00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:52.880
 that with

00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:53.500
 countless other

00:23:53.500 --> 00:23:53.880
 people who

00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:54.680
 have died

00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:56.299
 for what they

00:23:56.299 --> 00:23:56.779
 believe in

00:23:56.779 --> 00:23:57.200
 people who

00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:57.600
 have died

00:23:57.600 --> 00:23:59.079
 in the name

00:23:59.079 --> 00:23:59.600
 of Jesus

00:23:59.600 --> 00:24:00.880
 have shown

00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:01.620
 what looks

00:24:01.620 --> 00:24:02.000
 like more

00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:02.600
 poise and

00:24:02.600 --> 00:24:03.200
 more peace

00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:03.759
 doesn't it

00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:04.960
 than Jesus

00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:05.220
 does

00:24:05.220 --> 00:24:05.900
 the French

00:24:05.900 --> 00:24:06.440
 Huguenots

00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:06.779
 they were

00:24:06.779 --> 00:24:07.400
 burnt at the

00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:07.839
 stake

00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:09.559
 and they

00:24:09.559 --> 00:24:10.159
 would lean

00:24:10.159 --> 00:24:10.599
 into the

00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:11.039
 flames

00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:11.679
 to burn

00:24:11.679 --> 00:24:12.319
 the cloth

00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:12.619
 that was

00:24:12.619 --> 00:24:12.959
 covering

00:24:12.959 --> 00:24:13.699
 their mouths

00:24:13.699 --> 00:24:14.699
 so they

00:24:14.699 --> 00:24:15.259
 could continue

00:24:15.259 --> 00:24:16.079
 singing praise

00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:16.639
 to God

00:24:16.639 --> 00:24:16.959
 as they

00:24:16.959 --> 00:24:17.459
 were burned

00:24:17.459 --> 00:24:20.059
 Hugh Latimer

00:24:20.059 --> 00:24:20.500
 the English

00:24:20.500 --> 00:24:21.059
 reformer

00:24:21.059 --> 00:24:21.419
 said to

00:24:21.419 --> 00:24:22.039
 Nicholas Ridley

00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:22.319
 as they

00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:22.639
 were being

00:24:22.639 --> 00:24:22.919
 burned

00:24:22.919 --> 00:24:23.459
 be of good

00:24:23.459 --> 00:24:23.679
 cheer

00:24:23.679 --> 00:24:24.339
 Mr Ridley

00:24:24.339 --> 00:24:25.139
 we shall

00:24:25.139 --> 00:24:25.759
 by God's

00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:26.720
 great grace

00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:27.679
 light such a

00:24:27.679 --> 00:24:28.119
 candle in

00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:28.319
 England

00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:28.699
 that I

00:24:28.699 --> 00:24:28.919
 trust

00:24:28.919 --> 00:24:29.259
 shall never

00:24:29.259 --> 00:24:29.619
 be put

00:24:29.619 --> 00:24:29.839
 out

00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:30.359
 here is

00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:30.720
 Jesus

00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:31.000
 though

00:24:31.000 --> 00:24:32.159
 distressed

00:24:32.159 --> 00:24:33.599
 trouble

00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:34.359
 sweating

00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:34.980
 blood

00:24:34.980 --> 00:24:35.879
 reeling

00:24:35.879 --> 00:24:36.279
 in sorrow

00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:36.759
 what's the

00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:37.039
 deal

00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:37.500
 why the

00:24:37.500 --> 00:24:37.819
 agony

00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:40.619
 the answer

00:24:40.619 --> 00:24:40.939
 is because

00:24:40.939 --> 00:24:41.159
 of what

00:24:41.159 --> 00:24:41.500
 he saw

00:24:41.500 --> 00:24:41.759
 in the

00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:42.119
 garden

00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:44.319
 Matthew

00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:44.740
 tells us

00:24:44.740 --> 00:24:45.000
 at one

00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:45.279
 point in

00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:45.579
 the garden

00:24:45.579 --> 00:24:45.879
 Jesus

00:24:45.879 --> 00:24:46.359
 fell with

00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:46.740
 his face

00:24:46.740 --> 00:24:47.000
 to the

00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:47.220
 ground

00:24:47.220 --> 00:24:47.500
 and he

00:24:47.500 --> 00:24:47.819
 prays

00:24:47.819 --> 00:24:48.059
 to his

00:24:48.059 --> 00:24:48.359
 father

00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:48.779
 father

00:24:48.779 --> 00:24:49.220
 if this

00:24:49.220 --> 00:24:49.359
 is

00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:49.759
 possible

00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:50.480
 may

 this

00:24:50.779 --> 00:24:51.099
 cup

00:24:51.099 --> 00:24:51.319

 me

00:24:52.259 --> 00:24:53.559
 yet

00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:53.919
 not as

00:24:53.919 --> 00:24:54.119
 I

00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:54.399
 will

00:24:54.399 --> 00:24:54.799
 but as

00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:55.059
 you

00:24:55.059 --> 00:24:55.399
 will

00:24:55.399 --> 00:24:57.179
 and you

00:24:57.179 --> 00:24:57.279
 say

00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:57.539
 well what

00:24:57.539 --> 00:24:57.740
 cup

00:24:57.740 --> 00:24:57.919
 is he

00:24:57.919 --> 00:24:58.159
 talking

00:24:58.159 --> 00:24:58.339
 about

00:24:58.339 --> 00:24:58.539
 is it

00:24:58.539 --> 00:24:58.639
 a

00:24:58.639 --> 00:24:58.919
 physical

00:24:58.919 --> 00:24:59.220
 cup

00:24:59.220 --> 00:24:59.419
 well of

00:24:59.419 --> 00:24:59.579
 course

00:24:59.579 --> 00:24:59.720
 it's

00:24:59.720 --> 00:24:59.939
 not

00:24:59.939 --> 00:25:01.839
 no Jesus

00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:02.379
 is referring

00:25:02.379 --> 00:25:02.980
 to that

00:25:02.980 --> 00:25:03.299
 cup

00:25:03.299 --> 00:25:03.599
 that the

00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:03.919
 Bible

00:25:03.919 --> 00:25:04.819
 speaks of

00:25:04.819 --> 00:25:04.980
 in the

00:25:04.980 --> 00:25:05.139
 Old

00:25:05.139 --> 00:25:05.539
 Testament

00:25:05.539 --> 00:25:05.960
 as the

00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:06.139
 cup

00:25:06.139 --> 00:25:06.480
 of the

00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:06.799
 wrath

00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:07.180
 of God

00:25:07.180 --> 00:25:07.539
 on human

00:25:07.539 --> 00:25:07.859
 sin

00:25:07.859 --> 00:25:11.299
 and evil

00:25:11.299 --> 00:25:13.259
 and at that

00:25:13.259 --> 00:25:13.759
 point Jesus

00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:14.659
 gets a

00:25:14.659 --> 00:25:15.240
 glimpse

00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:15.980
 a preview

00:25:15.980 --> 00:25:16.559
 of the

00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:17.099
 depth of

00:25:17.099 --> 00:25:17.579
 our sin

00:25:17.579 --> 00:25:17.899
 for which

00:25:17.899 --> 00:25:18.159
 he would

00:25:18.159 --> 00:25:18.519
 die

00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:21.000
 and he

00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:21.279
 gets a

00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:21.819
 preview of

00:25:21.819 --> 00:25:22.139
 God's

00:25:22.139 --> 00:25:22.440
 wrath

00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:22.680
 that was

00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:23.039
 going to be

00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:23.399
 poured out

00:25:23.399 --> 00:25:23.859
 upon him

00:25:23.859 --> 00:25:24.240
 because of

00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:24.700
 your sin

00:25:24.700 --> 00:25:25.019
 and my

00:25:25.019 --> 00:25:25.180
 sin

00:25:25.180 --> 00:25:25.559
 and he

00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:26.279
 recoils

00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:26.940
 in shock

00:25:26.940 --> 00:25:29.940
 he gets

00:25:29.940 --> 00:25:30.440
 a preview

00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:30.779
 of what

00:25:30.779 --> 00:25:31.000
 it would

00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:31.400
 mean for

00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:31.680
 him to

00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:32.259
 descend

00:25:32.259 --> 00:25:32.580
 into

00:25:32.580 --> 00:25:33.400
 death

00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:34.180
 as the

00:25:34.180 --> 00:25:34.480
 creed

00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:34.980
 says

00:25:34.980 --> 00:25:36.740
 of the

00:25:36.740 --> 00:25:37.180
 hell he

00:25:37.180 --> 00:25:37.340
 would

00:25:37.340 --> 00:25:37.759
 suffer

00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:38.400
 and he

00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:38.920
 shudders

00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:39.920
 in anguish

00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:41.940
 it's not

00:25:41.940 --> 00:25:42.580
 the death

00:25:42.580 --> 00:25:43.059
 of a

00:25:43.059 --> 00:25:43.420
 martyr

00:25:43.420 --> 00:25:43.820
 like a

00:25:43.820 --> 00:25:44.299
 Huguenot

00:25:44.299 --> 00:25:45.019
 or Latimer

00:25:45.019 --> 00:25:45.720
 or Ridley

00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:46.559
 as horrible

00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:47.000
 as those

00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:47.400
 deaths

00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:47.759
 it is

00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:48.080
 Jesus

00:25:48.080 --> 00:25:48.779
 seeing your

00:25:48.779 --> 00:25:49.080
 sin

00:25:49.080 --> 00:25:49.660
 and my

00:25:49.660 --> 00:25:49.920
 sin

00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:51.160
 seeing the

00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:51.779
 deserved

00:25:51.779 --> 00:25:52.299
 wrath

00:25:52.299 --> 00:25:53.000
 and punishment

00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:53.500
 that sin

00:25:53.500 --> 00:25:54.000
 deserved

00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:54.640
 and saying

00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:55.680
 yes

00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:56.320
 father

00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:56.960
 I have

00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:57.399
 seen

00:25:57.399 --> 00:25:57.779
 their

00:25:57.779 --> 00:25:58.480
 ways

00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:00.799
 I have

00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:01.359
 seen

00:26:01.359 --> 00:26:01.839
 their

00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:02.480
 ways

00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:04.919
 but will

00:26:04.919 --> 00:26:05.259
 heal

00:26:05.259 --> 00:26:05.599
 them

00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:07.799
 I will

00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:08.019
 die

00:26:08.019 --> 00:26:08.200
 for

00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:08.519
 them

00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:10.720
 the

00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:10.939
 Lord

00:26:10.939 --> 00:26:11.259
 is the

00:26:11.259 --> 00:26:11.519
 holy

00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:11.899
 God

00:26:11.899 --> 00:26:12.139
 who in

00:26:12.139 --> 00:26:12.519
 order to

00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:12.639
 be

00:26:12.639 --> 00:26:13.179

00:26:14.379 --> 00:26:14.559
 the

00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:14.939
 humble

00:26:14.939 --> 00:26:19.139
 and so

00:26:19.139 --> 00:26:19.460
 from that

00:26:19.460 --> 00:26:19.740
 true

00:26:19.740 --> 00:26:20.339
 diagnosis

00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:21.299
 graceful

00:26:21.299 --> 00:26:21.679
 remedy

 I will

00:26:22.460 --> 00:26:22.859
 heal

00:26:22.859 --> 00:26:23.480
 he says

00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:26.079
 and God

00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:26.559
 then points

00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:27.240
 us to

00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:27.980
 the result

00:26:27.980 --> 00:26:28.259
 of this

00:26:28.259 --> 00:26:28.740
 hospitality

00:26:28.740 --> 00:26:29.400
 thirdly

00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:31.099
 what happens

00:26:31.099 --> 00:26:31.519
 when we

00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:32.519
 get as we

00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:33.380
 are received

00:26:33.380 --> 00:26:33.759
 into this

00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:34.259
 dwelling place

00:26:34.259 --> 00:26:34.660
 there again

 I have

00:26:38.080 --> 00:26:38.259
 seen

00:26:38.259 --> 00:26:38.660
 his ways

00:26:38.660 --> 00:26:38.960
 but I

00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:39.080
 will

00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:41.120
 and restore

00:26:41.120 --> 00:26:41.540
 comfort

00:26:41.540 --> 00:26:41.820
 to him

00:26:41.820 --> 00:26:42.060
 in his

00:26:42.060 --> 00:26:42.460
 mourners

00:26:42.460 --> 00:26:43.200
 creating the

00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:43.500
 fruit of

00:26:43.500 --> 00:26:43.860
 the lips

00:26:43.860 --> 00:26:44.560
 peace

00:26:44.560 --> 00:26:44.920

00:26:47.380 --> 00:26:48.880
 but the

00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:49.080
 wicked

00:26:49.080 --> 00:26:49.420
 like the

00:26:49.420 --> 00:26:50.000
 tossing sea

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:50.280
 for it

00:26:50.280 --> 00:26:50.620
 cannot be

00:26:50.620 --> 00:26:51.019
 silent

00:26:51.019 --> 00:26:52.759
 and its

00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:53.160
 waters

00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:53.660
 toss up

00:26:53.660 --> 00:26:53.920
 mire

00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:54.320
 and dirt

00:26:54.320 --> 00:26:54.759
 there is

00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:55.300
 no peace

00:26:55.300 --> 00:26:55.820
 says my

00:26:55.820 --> 00:26:56.120
 God

00:26:56.120 --> 00:26:56.400
 for the

00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:56.680
 wicked

00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:59.300
 so you

00:26:59.300 --> 00:26:59.660
 see having

00:26:59.660 --> 00:26:59.980
 healed

00:26:59.980 --> 00:27:00.140
 the

00:27:00.140 --> 00:27:00.519
 humble

00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:00.920
 God

00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:01.860
 then leads

00:27:01.860 --> 00:27:02.340
 to a new

00:27:02.340 --> 00:27:02.680
 way of

00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:02.860
 life

00:27:02.860 --> 00:27:03.280
 a new

00:27:03.280 --> 00:27:03.920

00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:06.380
 God

00:27:06.380 --> 00:27:06.740
 says I'm

00:27:06.740 --> 00:27:06.940
 now

00:27:06.940 --> 00:27:07.300
 committed

00:27:07.300 --> 00:27:08.560
 to lead

00:27:08.560 --> 00:27:08.720
 you

00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:09.120
 24

00:27:09.120 --> 00:27:09.500
 7

00:27:09.500 --> 00:27:10.700
 I'm

00:27:10.700 --> 00:27:10.880
 never

00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:11.160
 going to

00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:11.500
 abandon

00:27:11.500 --> 00:27:11.840
 you

00:27:11.840 --> 00:27:13.019
 I'm

00:27:13.019 --> 00:27:13.440
 always

00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:13.740
 going to

00:27:13.740 --> 00:27:14.120
 be with

00:27:14.120 --> 00:27:14.340
 you

00:27:14.340 --> 00:27:14.740
 and he's

00:27:14.740 --> 00:27:15.019
 going to

00:27:15.019 --> 00:27:15.340
 lead us

00:27:15.340 --> 00:27:15.539
 to a

00:27:15.539 --> 00:27:15.960
 completely

00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:16.580
 different

00:27:16.580 --> 00:27:17.240
 relationship

00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:18.140
 with himself

00:27:18.140 --> 00:27:19.060
 described

00:27:19.060 --> 00:27:19.759
 here as

00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:20.259
 comfort

00:27:20.259 --> 00:27:20.900
 for the

00:27:20.900 --> 00:27:21.500
 mourners

00:27:21.500 --> 00:27:23.259
 comfort

00:27:23.259 --> 00:27:23.820
 for those

00:27:23.820 --> 00:27:24.580
 who mourn

00:27:24.580 --> 00:27:25.380
 over sin

00:27:25.380 --> 00:27:26.100
 and repent

00:27:26.100 --> 00:27:26.539
 and turn

00:27:26.539 --> 00:27:26.940
 to him

00:27:26.940 --> 00:27:27.759
 but if you

00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:28.279
 want one

00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:28.680
 word

00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:29.539
 to summarise

00:27:29.539 --> 00:27:30.580
 one word

00:27:30.580 --> 00:27:31.800
 to summarise

00:27:31.800 --> 00:27:32.060
 what does

00:27:32.060 --> 00:27:32.720
 it mean

00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:33.800
 to dwell

00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:34.359
 in God's

00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:34.599
 house

00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:34.919
 to have

00:27:34.919 --> 00:27:35.319
 God's

00:27:35.319 --> 00:27:35.799
 hospitality

00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:36.460
 to move

00:27:36.460 --> 00:27:36.799
 in with

00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:37.279
 God

00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:38.240
 into his

00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:38.500
 dwelling

00:27:38.500 --> 00:27:38.720
 place

00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:39.240
 God gives

00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:39.680
 us one

00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:40.079
 word

00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:40.440
 in fact

00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:40.720
 he gives

00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:41.259
 it twice

00:27:41.259 --> 00:27:42.220
 and it's

00:27:42.220 --> 00:27:42.480
 the word

00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:42.919
 peace

00:27:42.919 --> 00:27:43.919
 verse 19

00:27:43.919 --> 00:27:46.879
 Shalom

00:27:46.879 --> 00:27:47.639
 it's a word

00:27:47.639 --> 00:27:48.819
 that has

00:27:48.819 --> 00:27:49.639
 at its root

00:27:49.639 --> 00:27:50.319
 wholeness

00:27:50.319 --> 00:27:50.960
 and well

00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:51.259
 being

00:27:51.259 --> 00:27:51.539
 and it

00:27:51.539 --> 00:27:52.059
 points us

00:27:52.059 --> 00:27:52.359
 to a

00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:52.899
 flourishing

00:27:52.899 --> 00:27:53.200
 and a

00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:53.680
 fulfilment

00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:54.099
 in every

00:27:54.099 --> 00:27:54.539
 area of

00:27:54.539 --> 00:27:54.879
 life

00:27:54.879 --> 00:27:56.559
 in your

00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:56.899
 spiritual

00:27:56.899 --> 00:27:57.220
 life

00:27:57.220 --> 00:27:57.680
 in physical

00:27:57.680 --> 00:27:58.099
 life

00:27:58.099 --> 00:27:59.119
 in emotional

00:27:59.119 --> 00:27:59.419
 life

00:27:59.419 --> 00:28:00.000
 in cultural

00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:00.480
 life

00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:02.200
 it's a

00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:02.539
 word that

00:28:02.539 --> 00:28:03.019
 has everything

00:28:03.019 --> 00:28:03.440
 to do with

00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:04.100
 wholeness

00:28:04.100 --> 00:28:04.940
 wholeness

00:28:04.940 --> 00:28:05.259
 in your

00:28:05.259 --> 00:28:05.740
 relationship

00:28:05.740 --> 00:28:06.480
 with God

00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:06.940
 and our

00:28:06.940 --> 00:28:07.340
 relationship

00:28:07.340 --> 00:28:07.759
 with one

00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:08.120
 another

00:28:08.120 --> 00:28:10.799
 but God

00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:11.240
 says that

00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:11.900
 peace is

00:28:11.900 --> 00:28:12.660
 forfeited

00:28:12.660 --> 00:28:13.299
 by one

00:28:13.299 --> 00:28:13.860
 group in

00:28:13.860 --> 00:28:14.420
 the world

00:28:14.420 --> 00:28:15.360
 and it's

00:28:15.360 --> 00:28:16.100
 lavished upon

00:28:16.100 --> 00:28:16.580
 another

00:28:16.580 --> 00:28:17.779
 it's forfeited

00:28:17.779 --> 00:28:18.400
 by the wicked

00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:19.120
 verse 21

00:28:19.120 --> 00:28:19.960
 no rest

00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:20.460
 for the wicked

00:28:20.460 --> 00:28:22.900
 we normally

00:28:22.900 --> 00:28:23.320
 say that

00:28:23.320 --> 00:28:23.620
 don't we

00:28:23.620 --> 00:28:23.940
 tongue in

00:28:23.940 --> 00:28:24.120
 cheek

00:28:24.120 --> 00:28:24.519
 I'm so

00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:24.880
 busy

00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:26.740
 I'm so

00:28:26.740 --> 00:28:27.160
 busy

00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:27.900
 there's no

00:28:27.900 --> 00:28:28.480
 rest for the

00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:28.700
 wicked

00:28:28.700 --> 00:28:30.580
 but there's

00:28:30.580 --> 00:28:30.840
 nothing

00:28:30.840 --> 00:28:31.279
 tongue in

00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:31.580
 cheek

00:28:31.580 --> 00:28:31.960
 about

00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:32.240
 Isaiah

00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:32.680
 57

00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:35.240
 because

00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:35.799
 based on

00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:36.259
 what Isaiah

00:28:36.259 --> 00:28:36.840
 has told us

00:28:36.840 --> 00:28:37.100
 in this

00:28:37.100 --> 00:28:37.420
 chapter

00:28:37.420 --> 00:28:37.940
 the wicked

00:28:37.940 --> 00:28:38.799
 are not

00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:39.640
 the contrite

00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:40.360
 and they

00:28:40.360 --> 00:28:40.819
 are not

00:28:40.819 --> 00:28:41.360
 the humble

00:28:41.360 --> 00:28:41.819
 and they

00:28:41.819 --> 00:28:42.259
 do not

00:28:42.259 --> 00:28:42.660
 turn to

00:28:42.660 --> 00:28:43.080
 God

00:28:43.080 --> 00:28:44.519
 and they

00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:44.960
 say I

00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:45.360
 will live

00:28:45.360 --> 00:28:46.039
 life my

00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:46.440
 way

00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:47.120
 I'll do

00:28:47.120 --> 00:28:47.680
 things my

00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:48.039
 way

00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:48.620
 I'm happy

00:28:48.620 --> 00:28:48.940
 to go to

00:28:48.940 --> 00:28:49.180
 church

00:28:49.180 --> 00:28:49.460
 but I

00:28:49.460 --> 00:28:49.880
 don't want

00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:50.080
 you in

00:28:50.080 --> 00:28:50.519
 my life

00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:50.799
 Lord

00:28:50.799 --> 00:28:51.880
 I don't

00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:52.360
 need you

00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:54.359
 and God

00:28:54.359 --> 00:28:54.819
 says to

00:28:54.819 --> 00:28:55.339
 those people

00:28:55.339 --> 00:28:56.459
 fair enough

00:28:56.459 --> 00:29:04.399
 but if

00:29:04.399 --> 00:29:04.539
 you're

00:29:04.539 --> 00:29:04.799
 wondering

00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:05.159
 why your

00:29:05.159 --> 00:29:05.879
 life feels

00:29:05.879 --> 00:29:06.579
 like constantly

00:29:06.579 --> 00:29:07.539
 stormy seas

00:29:07.539 --> 00:29:08.219
 it's restless

00:29:08.219 --> 00:29:09.000
 and turbulent

00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:09.699
 with waves

00:29:09.699 --> 00:29:10.339
 raking up

00:29:10.339 --> 00:29:11.119
 mire and mud

00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:11.919
 mire and mud

00:29:11.919 --> 00:29:13.139
 that is why

00:29:13.139 --> 00:29:15.039
 but as long

00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:15.419
 as you keep

00:29:15.419 --> 00:29:16.679
 generating sludge

00:29:16.679 --> 00:29:17.179
 in your life

00:29:17.179 --> 00:29:17.539
 through your

00:29:17.539 --> 00:29:18.359
 pride and your

00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:19.279
 self-righteousness

00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:19.799
 and your greed

00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:20.759
 there will be

00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:21.519
 no peace

00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:23.839
 and peace

00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:24.639
 is forfeited

00:29:24.639 --> 00:29:25.259
 by the wicked

00:29:25.259 --> 00:29:26.440
 but to those

00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:27.119
 who humbly

00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:27.799
 come before

00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:28.420
 God in

00:29:28.420 --> 00:29:28.839
 repentance

00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:29.720
 and faith

00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:32.579
 well both

00:29:32.579 --> 00:29:33.000
 far and

00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:33.240
 near

00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:34.759
 Paul picks

00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:35.079
 up on that

00:29:35.079 --> 00:29:35.700
 in Romans 2

00:29:35.700 --> 00:29:36.440
 in a prophecy

00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:37.059
 of the gospel

00:29:37.059 --> 00:29:37.680
 he says it's

00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:38.079
 for Jews

00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:38.980
 and for Gentiles

00:29:38.980 --> 00:29:40.059
 far and near

00:29:40.059 --> 00:29:40.740
 for those kind

00:29:40.740 --> 00:29:41.039
 of people

00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:41.799
 there is peace

00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:43.639
 in fact there's

00:29:43.639 --> 00:29:43.859
 peace

00:29:43.859 --> 00:29:44.299
 peace

00:29:44.299 --> 00:29:46.839
 to magnitude

00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:48.180
 to express

00:29:48.180 --> 00:29:48.700
 it

00:29:48.700 --> 00:29:51.880
 the excellence

00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:52.259
 of this

00:29:52.259 --> 00:29:52.519
 peace

00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:53.420
 is repeated

00:29:53.420 --> 00:29:53.840
 peace

00:29:53.840 --> 00:29:54.160
 peace

00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:54.460
 in its

00:29:54.460 --> 00:29:54.799
 fullness

00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:55.160
 peace

00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:55.680
 with God

00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:56.000
 and peace

00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:56.279
 with one

00:29:56.279 --> 00:29:56.580
 another

00:29:56.580 --> 00:29:57.019
 and peace

00:29:57.019 --> 00:29:57.759
 with ourselves

00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:00.680
 sometimes it's

00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:01.140
 hard to know

00:30:01.140 --> 00:30:02.160
 what peace

00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:03.160
 the writer is

00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:03.960
 focusing on in the

00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:04.259
 bible

00:30:04.259 --> 00:30:07.019
 which pieces of

00:30:07.019 --> 00:30:07.559
 peace is he

00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:08.240
 talking about

00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:10.840
 but I think here

00:30:10.840 --> 00:30:11.900
 it's obvious

00:30:11.900 --> 00:30:12.759
 because he repeats

00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:13.900
 I will heal him

00:30:13.900 --> 00:30:14.660
 in the singular

00:30:14.660 --> 00:30:17.060
 and so the

00:30:17.060 --> 00:30:17.480
 emphasis

00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:18.360
 I think in

00:30:18.360 --> 00:30:19.060
 Isaiah 57

00:30:19.060 --> 00:30:20.400
 falls on

00:30:20.400 --> 00:30:21.720
 personal peace

00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:25.400
 but that is

00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:26.140
 God's commitment

00:30:26.140 --> 00:30:26.740
 to those who

00:30:26.740 --> 00:30:27.400
 come and dwell

00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:27.920
 with him

00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:29.160
 and that is a

00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:29.700
 good place to

00:30:29.700 --> 00:30:30.500
 land up as we

00:30:30.500 --> 00:30:31.080
 finish

00:30:31.080 --> 00:30:33.740
 because I am

00:30:33.740 --> 00:30:34.360
 guessing that for

00:30:34.360 --> 00:30:35.300
 many of us here

00:30:35.300 --> 00:30:36.100
 we would count

00:30:36.100 --> 00:30:37.060
 ourselves among

00:30:37.060 --> 00:30:37.960
 those whom God

00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:38.440
 has healed

00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:39.120
 we would say

00:30:39.120 --> 00:30:40.060
 yes that's me

00:30:40.060 --> 00:30:42.440
 those whom God

00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:43.120
 has rescued from

00:30:43.120 --> 00:30:43.480
 sin

00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:46.039
 those whom God

00:30:46.039 --> 00:30:46.880
 has been and

00:30:46.880 --> 00:30:48.059
 is being hospitable

00:30:48.059 --> 00:30:50.440
 but when we

00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:51.039
 describe the

00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:51.839
 experiences of

00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:52.240
 the wicked

00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:52.920
 where life

00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:53.920
 constantly feels

00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:54.640
 like stormy

00:30:54.640 --> 00:30:55.220
 seas and

00:30:55.220 --> 00:30:56.059
 restless and

00:30:56.059 --> 00:30:56.539
 turbulent

00:30:56.539 --> 00:30:58.019
 there are some

00:30:58.019 --> 00:30:58.579
 of us out there

00:30:58.579 --> 00:30:59.240
 that think to

00:30:59.240 --> 00:30:59.740
 ourselves

00:30:59.740 --> 00:31:00.860
 I know God

00:31:00.860 --> 00:31:01.640
 has rescued me

00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:03.579
 I know I'm no

00:31:03.579 --> 00:31:04.079
 longer in the

00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:04.779
 category of the

00:31:04.779 --> 00:31:05.700
 wicked but that

00:31:05.700 --> 00:31:07.200
 description feels

00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:08.539
 awfully like what

00:31:08.539 --> 00:31:09.539
 my life is like

00:31:09.539 --> 00:31:12.839
 and you say I

00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:13.879
 long to know

00:31:13.879 --> 00:31:15.740
 what that peace

00:31:15.740 --> 00:31:16.859
 feels like in

00:31:16.859 --> 00:31:17.659
 my life

00:31:17.659 --> 00:31:18.659
 because right

00:31:18.659 --> 00:31:19.179
 now I'm not

00:31:19.179 --> 00:31:19.679
 peaceful at

00:31:19.679 --> 00:31:20.079
 all

00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:25.199
 what I want to

00:31:25.199 --> 00:31:25.639
 say to you

00:31:25.639 --> 00:31:26.179
 what you've seen

00:31:26.179 --> 00:31:26.599
 in the book of

00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:27.439
 Isaiah is that

00:31:27.439 --> 00:31:28.699
 knowing peace

00:31:28.699 --> 00:31:29.579
 in the Christian

00:31:29.579 --> 00:31:30.179
 life

00:31:30.179 --> 00:31:32.379
 is not to

00:31:32.379 --> 00:31:33.579
 bracket out

00:31:33.579 --> 00:31:34.539
 but to bracket

00:31:34.539 --> 00:31:34.959
 in

00:31:34.959 --> 00:31:38.240
 what do I mean

00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:39.659
 most people

00:31:39.659 --> 00:31:40.240
 today when they

00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:40.939
 talk about finding

00:31:40.940 --> 00:31:41.940
 peace in their

00:31:41.940 --> 00:31:42.460
 life

00:31:42.460 --> 00:31:44.940
 they almost

00:31:44.940 --> 00:31:45.820
 always think

00:31:45.820 --> 00:31:46.340
 that it is

00:31:46.340 --> 00:31:47.039
 removing

00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:48.539
 certain thoughts

00:31:48.539 --> 00:31:50.840
 and they think

00:31:50.840 --> 00:31:51.460
 it's removing

00:31:51.460 --> 00:31:52.980
 certain actions

00:31:52.980 --> 00:31:55.220
 that peace

00:31:55.220 --> 00:31:56.880
 is to do

00:31:56.880 --> 00:31:57.220
 with the

00:31:57.220 --> 00:31:58.299
 removal of

00:31:58.299 --> 00:31:59.220
 certain thoughts

00:31:59.220 --> 00:32:00.019
 or situations

00:32:00.019 --> 00:32:02.559
 and that way

00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:03.200
 of peace is

00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:03.980
 always going to

00:32:03.980 --> 00:32:05.920
 come down to

00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:06.620
 techniques

00:32:06.619 --> 00:32:08.639
 and so that

00:32:08.639 --> 00:32:09.479
 is why most

00:32:09.479 --> 00:32:10.139
 books on

00:32:10.139 --> 00:32:10.939
 stress or

00:32:10.939 --> 00:32:11.979
 anxiety or

00:32:11.979 --> 00:32:12.539
 worry

00:32:12.539 --> 00:32:15.679
 will suggest

00:32:15.679 --> 00:32:16.619
 you techniques

00:32:16.619 --> 00:32:18.239
 like relaxation

00:32:18.239 --> 00:32:19.319
 or work life

00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:20.359
 balance or

00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:20.939
 sitting on a

00:32:20.939 --> 00:32:21.299
 beach

00:32:21.299 --> 00:32:22.519
 watching the

00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:22.979
 waves

00:32:22.979 --> 00:32:23.919
 doing yoga

00:32:23.919 --> 00:32:24.559
 regularly

00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:26.399
 and so that

00:32:26.399 --> 00:32:27.419
 you can bracket

00:32:27.419 --> 00:32:28.779
 out everything

00:32:28.779 --> 00:32:29.439
 else in your

00:32:29.439 --> 00:32:29.839
 life

00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:31.799
 you remove the

00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:32.459
 source of stress

00:32:32.459 --> 00:32:32.979
 and tension

00:32:32.980 --> 00:32:35.279
 in other words

00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:36.019
 peace will come

00:32:36.019 --> 00:32:36.759
 to you as you

00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:37.400
 are able to get

00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:37.799
 rid of those

00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:38.599
 stressful thoughts

00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:41.079
 and as pleasant

00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:41.980
 and as helpful

00:32:41.980 --> 00:32:42.740
 as those things

00:32:42.740 --> 00:32:43.380
 may be

00:32:43.380 --> 00:32:44.920
 the problem is

00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:45.660
 they always

00:32:45.660 --> 00:32:46.380
 over promise

00:32:46.380 --> 00:32:49.319
 they promise you

00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:49.720
 something that

00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:50.120
 they cannot

00:32:50.120 --> 00:32:50.759
 provide

00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:53.259
 in fact to try

00:32:53.259 --> 00:32:54.019
 and bracket

00:32:54.019 --> 00:32:55.360
 out and to

00:32:55.360 --> 00:32:56.400
 repress our

00:32:56.400 --> 00:32:57.240
 worries and

00:32:57.240 --> 00:32:57.839
 anxieties

00:32:57.839 --> 00:32:58.740
 actually leads

00:32:58.740 --> 00:32:59.519
 to them finding

00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:00.180
 other outlets

00:33:00.180 --> 00:33:00.759
 doesn't it

00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:02.279
 and it leads

00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:03.180
 to unhealthy

00:33:03.180 --> 00:33:03.680
 and damaging

00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:04.220
 patterns in

00:33:04.220 --> 00:33:04.559
 life in

00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:05.240
 other areas

00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:08.220
 some people

00:33:08.220 --> 00:33:08.519
 would say

00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:09.140
 you just need

00:33:09.140 --> 00:33:09.359
 to have a

00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:10.000
 more pragmatic

00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:10.839
 approach

00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:12.119
 you know

00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:12.740
 why worry

00:33:12.740 --> 00:33:14.339
 all the worry

00:33:14.339 --> 00:33:14.819
 in the world

00:33:14.819 --> 00:33:15.160
 isn't going to

00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:15.759
 make a difference

00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:16.200
 is it

00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:16.859
 you said that

00:33:16.859 --> 00:33:17.740
 I said that

00:33:17.740 --> 00:33:20.579
 but you're the

00:33:20.579 --> 00:33:21.259
 one who's anxious

00:33:21.259 --> 00:33:22.039
 and worrying

00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:23.379
 well you know

00:33:23.379 --> 00:33:23.819
 that's true

00:33:23.819 --> 00:33:24.259
 don't you

00:33:24.259 --> 00:33:25.480
 people who worry

00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:25.940
 and are anxious

00:33:25.940 --> 00:33:26.599
 that's stupid

00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:28.539
 they know that

00:33:28.539 --> 00:33:29.099
 all the worrying

00:33:29.099 --> 00:33:29.480
 in the world

00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:29.819
 isn't going to

00:33:29.819 --> 00:33:30.319
 make a difference

00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:30.899
 but that doesn't

00:33:30.899 --> 00:33:31.539
 solve the problem

00:33:31.539 --> 00:33:32.039
 of worrying

00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:34.819
 it doesn't

00:33:34.819 --> 00:33:35.220
 deal with a

00:33:35.220 --> 00:33:35.939
 particular situation

00:33:35.939 --> 00:33:36.279
 that you're

00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:36.919
 worried about

00:33:36.919 --> 00:33:38.299
 it's not very

00:33:38.299 --> 00:33:39.059
 helpful at all

00:33:39.059 --> 00:33:44.159
 but whatever

00:33:44.159 --> 00:33:44.939
 approach is used

00:33:44.939 --> 00:33:45.359
 by people to

00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:45.939
 try and find

00:33:45.939 --> 00:33:46.439
 peace and it's

00:33:46.439 --> 00:33:46.919
 not only some

00:33:46.919 --> 00:33:48.359
 variation on

00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:48.839
 those themes

00:33:48.839 --> 00:33:49.639
 it's to bracket

00:33:49.639 --> 00:33:50.319
 out everything

00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:50.819
 that's causing

00:33:50.819 --> 00:33:51.460
 you anxiety

00:33:51.460 --> 00:33:54.819
 the problem

00:33:54.819 --> 00:33:55.279
 is this

00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:56.240
 your mind

00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:56.839
 and your

00:33:56.839 --> 00:33:57.480
 heart

00:33:57.480 --> 00:33:59.120
 and my

00:33:59.120 --> 00:33:59.519
 mind

00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:00.099
 and my

00:34:00.099 --> 00:34:00.420
 heart

00:34:00.420 --> 00:34:01.480
 are anxiety

00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:02.140
 producing

00:34:02.140 --> 00:34:02.940
 factories

00:34:02.940 --> 00:34:05.460
 and we

00:34:05.460 --> 00:34:06.140
 never manage

00:34:06.140 --> 00:34:06.539
 to get rid

00:34:06.539 --> 00:34:06.860
 of it

00:34:06.860 --> 00:34:10.539
 but you see

00:34:10.539 --> 00:34:11.059
 the peace

00:34:11.059 --> 00:34:11.480
 that God

00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:12.079
 promises you

00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:12.340
 is something

00:34:12.340 --> 00:34:13.179
 completely different

00:34:13.179 --> 00:34:14.099
 because this

00:34:14.099 --> 00:34:14.780
 peace Isaiah

00:34:14.780 --> 00:34:15.420
 says is a

00:34:15.420 --> 00:34:15.820
 result of

00:34:15.820 --> 00:34:16.159
 God's

00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:16.719
 hospitality

00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:18.400
 it's a

00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:18.740
 result of

00:34:18.740 --> 00:34:19.079
 moving in

00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:19.619
 with God

00:34:19.619 --> 00:34:20.000
 it's a

00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:20.460
 result of

00:34:20.460 --> 00:34:20.679
 God

00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:21.240
 receiving

00:34:21.240 --> 00:34:21.740
 and dwelling

00:34:21.740 --> 00:34:22.139
 with us

00:34:22.139 --> 00:34:22.739
 in other

00:34:22.739 --> 00:34:23.099
 words in

00:34:23.099 --> 00:34:23.900
 Isaiah 57

00:34:23.900 --> 00:34:24.599
 and throughout

00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:25.299
 the Bible

00:34:25.299 --> 00:34:26.719
 peace is not

00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:27.480
 the absence

00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:28.359
 of something

00:34:28.359 --> 00:34:29.900
 but it's the

00:34:29.900 --> 00:34:30.420
 presence of

00:34:30.420 --> 00:34:30.940
 someone

00:34:30.940 --> 00:34:34.319
 Christian peace

00:34:34.319 --> 00:34:34.739
 is not about

00:34:34.739 --> 00:34:35.159
 the absence

00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:35.879
 of something

00:34:35.879 --> 00:34:36.239
 but about

00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:36.639
 the presence

00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:37.379
 of someone

00:34:37.379 --> 00:34:39.519
 Christian peace

00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:40.179
 is not about

00:34:40.179 --> 00:34:41.879
 expelling

00:34:41.879 --> 00:34:43.400
 some negative

00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:44.039
 thoughts

00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:45.900
 because when

00:34:45.900 --> 00:34:46.440
 you do that

00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:46.839
 all you're doing

00:34:46.839 --> 00:34:47.279
 is living in

00:34:47.279 --> 00:34:47.659
 denial

00:34:47.659 --> 00:34:49.059
 you're trying

00:34:49.059 --> 00:34:49.519
 to ignore

00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:50.379
 reality and not

00:34:50.379 --> 00:34:50.779
 being willing

00:34:50.779 --> 00:34:51.619
 to face it

00:34:51.619 --> 00:34:53.759
 so how does

00:34:53.759 --> 00:34:54.139
 Christianity

00:34:54.139 --> 00:34:55.019
 approach the

00:34:55.019 --> 00:34:55.859
 peace that we

00:34:55.859 --> 00:34:56.500
 long for

00:34:56.500 --> 00:34:57.000
 here is how

00:34:57.000 --> 00:34:57.559
 if you are a

00:34:57.559 --> 00:34:57.980
 Christian you

00:34:57.980 --> 00:34:58.599
 don't bracket

00:34:58.599 --> 00:34:59.339
 out you

00:34:59.339 --> 00:35:00.500
 bracket in

00:35:00.500 --> 00:35:02.900
 you think of

00:35:02.900 --> 00:35:03.619
 the big picture

00:35:03.619 --> 00:35:05.139
 and so instead

00:35:05.139 --> 00:35:05.519
 of some

00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:06.400
 technique you

00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:06.900
 think through

00:35:06.900 --> 00:35:07.400
 the ultimate

00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:09.119
 truth that you

00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:09.519
 know

00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:11.599
 and the

00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:12.339
 implications of

00:35:12.339 --> 00:35:13.059
 those truths

00:35:13.059 --> 00:35:13.739
 that enable you

00:35:13.739 --> 00:35:14.400
 to triumph

00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:15.599
 over restlessness

00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:17.739
 and triumph

00:35:17.739 --> 00:35:18.759
 over anxiety

00:35:18.759 --> 00:35:19.639
 and stress

00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:20.319
 and fear

00:35:20.319 --> 00:35:21.519
 and the truth

00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:22.039
 that Isaiah

00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:22.539
 is pointing

00:35:22.539 --> 00:35:22.900
 us to

00:35:22.900 --> 00:35:23.340
 here is

00:35:23.340 --> 00:35:23.920
 the presence

00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:24.699
 of someone

00:35:24.699 --> 00:35:27.000
 the presence

00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:27.619
 of someone

00:35:27.619 --> 00:35:28.059
 who says

00:35:28.059 --> 00:35:29.659
 I've seen

00:35:29.659 --> 00:35:30.259
 your ways

00:35:30.259 --> 00:35:32.139
 I know

00:35:32.139 --> 00:35:32.759
 everything about

00:35:32.759 --> 00:35:33.280
 you but I've

00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:33.759
 healed you

00:35:33.759 --> 00:35:35.880
 it's the presence

00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:36.380
 of the one

00:35:36.380 --> 00:35:36.840
 who says

00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:37.480
 I've seen

00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:38.559
 your ways

00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:39.039
 but I've

00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:40.039
 died for you

00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:41.780
 and if the

00:35:41.780 --> 00:35:42.480
 Father and the

00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:43.000
 Son and the

00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:43.559
 Holy Spirit

00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:44.420
 they saw the

00:35:44.420 --> 00:35:45.280
 worst of you

00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:47.059
 they saw the

00:35:47.059 --> 00:35:47.960
 worst of you

00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:49.400
 at its blackest

00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:50.660
 are your

00:35:50.660 --> 00:35:51.619
 darkest and

00:35:51.619 --> 00:35:52.480
 most rebellious

00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:52.900
 but they

00:35:52.900 --> 00:35:53.760
 loved you

00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:54.660
 and the

00:35:54.660 --> 00:35:55.000
 cross of

00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:55.539
 Jesus Christ

00:35:55.539 --> 00:35:55.980
 shows you

00:35:55.980 --> 00:35:56.320
 that

00:35:56.320 --> 00:35:59.680
 so much

00:35:59.680 --> 00:36:00.039
 that they

00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:00.980
 would live

00:36:00.980 --> 00:36:01.800
 together with

00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:02.180
 you by

00:36:02.180 --> 00:36:02.940
 their spirit

00:36:02.940 --> 00:36:04.660
 and they

00:36:04.660 --> 00:36:05.000
 would heal

00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:05.420
 you

00:36:05.420 --> 00:36:08.340
 if he knows

00:36:08.340 --> 00:36:09.119
 all that

00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:10.940
 and yet he

00:36:10.940 --> 00:36:11.519
 loves you

00:36:11.519 --> 00:36:13.820
 why would you

00:36:13.820 --> 00:36:14.260
 ever doubt

00:36:14.260 --> 00:36:14.500
 that he's

00:36:14.500 --> 00:36:14.820
 going to take

00:36:14.820 --> 00:36:15.200
 care of you

00:36:15.200 --> 00:36:15.460
 now

00:36:15.460 --> 00:36:17.680
 and so you

00:36:17.680 --> 00:36:18.700
 bracket in all

00:36:18.700 --> 00:36:19.260
 those glorious

00:36:19.260 --> 00:36:20.260
 truths and all

00:36:20.260 --> 00:36:20.820
 through the Bible

00:36:20.820 --> 00:36:21.460
 you've got more

00:36:21.460 --> 00:36:22.340
 truths to bracket

00:36:22.340 --> 00:36:22.820
 in and your

00:36:22.820 --> 00:36:23.500
 brackets are

00:36:23.500 --> 00:36:24.240
 bulging if you

00:36:24.240 --> 00:36:24.740
 do it right

00:36:24.740 --> 00:36:27.340
 but God is

00:36:27.340 --> 00:36:27.980
 for me

00:36:27.980 --> 00:36:29.600
 and God is

00:36:29.600 --> 00:36:30.440
 with me

00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:31.880
 and God has

00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:32.460
 done everything

00:36:32.460 --> 00:36:33.140
 so that I can

00:36:33.140 --> 00:36:33.840
 know his peace

00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:34.780
 right now

00:36:34.780 --> 00:36:35.780
 that when I'm

00:36:35.780 --> 00:36:36.360
 doubtful he

00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:37.039
 strengthens my

00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:37.500
 faith

00:36:37.500 --> 00:36:39.059
 that when I'm

00:36:39.059 --> 00:36:39.740
 lonely he is

00:36:39.740 --> 00:36:40.200
 the closest

00:36:40.200 --> 00:36:40.940
 friends

00:36:40.940 --> 00:36:42.300
 that when I'm

00:36:42.300 --> 00:36:43.019
 restless he

00:36:43.019 --> 00:36:43.960
 helps me find

00:36:43.960 --> 00:36:44.760
 my rest in

00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:45.079
 him

00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:46.420
 and as a

00:36:46.420 --> 00:36:46.900
 Christian you

00:36:46.900 --> 00:36:47.440
 don't bracket

00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:48.360
 out to find

00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:48.780
 peace

00:36:48.780 --> 00:36:50.300
 you bracket

00:36:50.300 --> 00:36:50.599
 in

00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:52.179
 and you find

00:36:52.179 --> 00:36:52.800
 that the Lord

00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:53.720
 is the holy

00:36:53.720 --> 00:36:54.159
 God

00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:56.119
 he is the

00:36:56.119 --> 00:36:56.780
 holy God

00:36:56.780 --> 00:36:57.260
 who in order

00:36:57.260 --> 00:36:58.159
 to be hospitable

00:36:58.159 --> 00:36:59.139
 to you

00:36:59.139 --> 00:37:00.800
 has healed

00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:01.079
 you

00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:03.079
 he's healed

00:37:03.079 --> 00:37:03.500
 the humble

00:37:03.500 --> 00:37:05.800
 and he gives

00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:06.440
 you his peace

00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:09.380
 let's pray
