00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:16.719
 And in this episode, the Pharisees and Sadducees come out, and John says to them, he tells of Christ and says in verses 11 through 12, he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry.

00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:32.479
 He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit in fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.

00:00:33.619 --> 00:00:40.579
 The short of it is he will gather his people, the wheat, while judging the unrepentant, the chaff.

00:00:40.579 --> 00:00:51.460
 And so right after this foretelling by John, what do we read? Verse 13, then Jesus came.

00:00:52.219 --> 00:01:02.359
 Matthew's making it overtly obvious, just with that one word, then, that Jesus is the one of whom John spoke.

00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:15.560
 Of course, God's declaration of his son will make that abundantly clear, but even here in verse 13, we have enough to demonstrate Jesus is greater than John.

00:01:16.579 --> 00:01:23.599
 We also learn from verse 13 that Jesus identifies with his people.

00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:27.400
 Jesus identifies with his people.

00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:35.940
 Continuing there, Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be baptized by him.

00:01:37.780 --> 00:01:42.940
 Matthew begins his gospel account with a genealogy in chapter 1, verse 1.

00:01:43.860 --> 00:01:48.939
 That genealogy, if you recall, is organized around the Babylonian exile.

00:01:48.939 --> 00:01:58.700
 He gives 14 generations before the exile, 14 generations in the midst of exile, and 14 generations after exile.

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:11.419
 Although, for Matthew and the Old Testament, for that matter, they speak in such a way that the exile never really truly ended.

00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.759
 There's never full reconciliation with God.

00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:22.379
 There's never the Davidic king long-awaited, long-expected, that would rule forever.

00:02:22.799 --> 00:02:28.099
 The temple is not quite what you expect at the end of the Old Testament.

00:02:28.340 --> 00:02:31.280
 And so there's this sense of, we're still not home yet.

00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:33.879
 Things are not all right.

00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:40.159
 And just one example of how Matthew views this ongoing exile

00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:45.919
 is his fulfillment quotation from Jeremiah 31, verse 15,

00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:47.579
 which says,

00:02:47.699 --> 00:03:02.019
 Now Matthew quotes this in chapter 2, verse 18,

00:03:02.259 --> 00:03:04.400
 after Herod has killed a bunch of children.

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:08.659
 And then Matthew says this passage is fulfilled.

00:03:09.819 --> 00:03:12.340
 Yet, Jeremiah, in his context,

00:03:13.219 --> 00:03:17.520
 is speaking of a time when God's people are led in captivity.

00:03:17.740 --> 00:03:19.860
 So this is one indication, among many,

00:03:20.659 --> 00:03:22.640
 that Matthew views his present moment,

00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.159
 first century A.D., the time of Christ,

00:03:25.860 --> 00:03:28.480
 as still yet a time of exile.

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.360
 Israel is not made at home.

00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:36.660
 In fact, when you look at every one of the fulfillment quotations

00:03:36.660 --> 00:03:38.740
 in Matthew chapters 1 through 4,

00:03:38.820 --> 00:03:39.660
 of which there are many,

00:03:40.440 --> 00:03:44.180
 every single one is speaking in a context of exile.

00:03:45.860 --> 00:03:49.940
 And so Matthew sees this ongoing exile,

00:03:50.300 --> 00:03:52.840
 and he makes it clear, too, in chapter 1,

00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.700
 that the cause of this exile is sin.

00:03:57.699 --> 00:04:02.079
 Just as Israel was led in captivity in the Old Testament

00:04:02.079 --> 00:04:04.079
 due to their idolatry and wickedness,

00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:06.239
 so, too, in Jesus' day,

00:04:06.859 --> 00:04:09.919
 did the people remain in exile for their sin.

00:04:11.459 --> 00:04:14.120
 He indicates this not only by the baptism of repentance

00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:15.299
 that we're reading about,

00:04:15.300 --> 00:04:18.199
 but in chapter 1, verse 21,

00:04:18.520 --> 00:04:20.560
 the angel of the Lord says to Joseph,

00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:22.740
 of the Christ child,

00:04:22.840 --> 00:04:23.300
 he says,

00:04:23.400 --> 00:04:25.400
 you shall call his name Jesus,

00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.420
 for he will save his people

00:04:28.420 --> 00:04:30.600
 from their sins.

00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:33.360
 Okay, so,

00:04:33.819 --> 00:04:35.740
 here's how all this ties in

00:04:35.740 --> 00:04:37.259
 to Jesus identifying

00:04:37.259 --> 00:04:39.300
 with his people.

00:04:39.300 --> 00:04:42.160
 Jesus comes

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:43.819
 to be baptized

00:04:43.819 --> 00:04:45.240
 in the Jordan,

00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:46.680
 in the wilderness.

00:04:48.220 --> 00:04:48.579
 So, again,

00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:50.980
 Matthew is playing on this exile theme

00:04:50.980 --> 00:04:52.740
 to say something about

00:04:52.740 --> 00:04:54.319
 Christ.

00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:56.199
 There's a lot of symbolic imagery

00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:58.240
 conveyed by baptism.

00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:00.780
 The submersion of baptism

00:05:00.780 --> 00:05:02.960
 signifies being under the wrath of God.

00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:04.639
 Of course, you think of this

00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:05.500
 because of the flood

00:05:05.500 --> 00:05:06.939
 in Genesis 6.

00:05:06.939 --> 00:05:08.459
 You also might think

00:05:08.459 --> 00:05:09.600
 of the Exodus account

00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:11.800
 when Moses leads Israel

00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:12.860
 through the Red Sea.

00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:13.639
 It's parted.

00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:15.459
 God parts it

00:05:15.459 --> 00:05:16.939
 so they can pass through safely,

00:05:17.819 --> 00:05:18.920
 but then he collapses it

00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:19.959
 to crush Egypt,

00:05:20.500 --> 00:05:21.199
 Pharaoh's army.

00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:23.100
 So, it is both a salvation

00:05:23.100 --> 00:05:23.720
 for Israel

00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:24.480
 and a judgment

00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:26.319
 on Egypt.

00:05:27.459 --> 00:05:27.779
 And so,

00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:28.620
 I think Matthew

00:05:28.620 --> 00:05:30.159
 intends our minds

00:05:30.159 --> 00:05:31.000
 to think about

00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:32.939
 all these things.

00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:35.279
 Perhaps most directly,

00:05:35.459 --> 00:05:35.680
 though,

00:05:35.740 --> 00:05:36.839
 he intends us to recall

00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:37.699
 Joshua.

00:05:38.819 --> 00:05:39.579
 For one,

00:05:40.239 --> 00:05:41.219
 Joshua's name

00:05:41.219 --> 00:05:42.799
 is the same as Jesus's,

00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:44.599
 and we translate it in English

00:05:44.599 --> 00:05:46.199
 or transliterate

00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:46.899
 as Joshua.

00:05:47.019 --> 00:05:47.299
 In Hebrew,

00:05:47.459 --> 00:05:47.979
 it's Yeshua.

00:05:48.719 --> 00:05:49.899
 But Jesus is just

00:05:49.899 --> 00:05:51.299
 the Greek transliteration

00:05:51.299 --> 00:05:52.759
 of Yeshua as well.

00:05:52.819 --> 00:05:54.479
 So, it's the same name.

00:05:54.579 --> 00:05:55.239
 You might call

00:05:55.239 --> 00:05:55.879
 the book of Joshua

00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:56.620
 the book of Jesus

00:05:56.620 --> 00:05:57.739
 in a sense, right?

00:05:57.979 --> 00:05:58.799
 Same name.

00:05:58.939 --> 00:06:00.239
 And it simply means

00:06:00.239 --> 00:06:02.759
 God saves.

00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:04.819
 And more so,

00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:05.360
 recall

00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:06.899
 the Jordan

00:06:06.899 --> 00:06:07.699
 in Joshua.

00:06:07.819 --> 00:06:09.159
 In Joshua chapter 3

00:06:09.159 --> 00:06:09.860
 through 4,

00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:12.180
 God parts the Jordan

00:06:12.180 --> 00:06:13.459
 so Joshua

00:06:13.459 --> 00:06:14.420
 can lead Israel

00:06:14.420 --> 00:06:15.379
 out of the wilderness,

00:06:15.719 --> 00:06:16.539
 out of the exile,

00:06:16.659 --> 00:06:17.120
 so to speak,

00:06:17.699 --> 00:06:19.219
 into the promised land

00:06:19.219 --> 00:06:20.219
 and conquer

00:06:20.219 --> 00:06:21.259
 it.

00:06:21.259 --> 00:06:23.939
 So, Jesus,

00:06:24.219 --> 00:06:25.180
 in great humility,

00:06:25.980 --> 00:06:27.000
 is identifying

00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:28.539
 with his people Israel.

00:06:28.699 --> 00:06:29.300
 He does this

00:06:29.300 --> 00:06:30.319
 by reenacting

00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.180
 their entire history.

00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:32.980
 And Matthew

00:06:32.980 --> 00:06:34.199
 shows us this.

00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:35.800
 It began in the genealogy,

00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:37.459
 continues in chapter 2

00:06:37.459 --> 00:06:38.680
 where he's persecuted

00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:39.379
 by Herod

00:06:39.379 --> 00:06:40.099
 and has to flee

00:06:40.099 --> 00:06:40.740
 to Egypt

00:06:40.740 --> 00:06:42.379
 like Moses

00:06:42.379 --> 00:06:43.180
 was persecuted

00:06:43.180 --> 00:06:44.240
 by Pharaoh.

00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.220
 further still now

00:06:46.220 --> 00:06:47.019
 in chapter 3

00:06:47.019 --> 00:06:48.259
 the baptism

00:06:48.259 --> 00:06:49.120
 reenacting

00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:50.639
 several significant

00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.540
 Old Testament moments

00:06:52.540 --> 00:06:53.160
 in the story

00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:54.000
 and life of Israel.

00:06:54.699 --> 00:06:55.500
 And it goes on

00:06:55.500 --> 00:06:56.519
 if you read chapter 4

00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:57.680
 Jesus goes further

00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:58.379
 into the wilderness

00:06:58.379 --> 00:06:59.160
 to be tempted

00:06:59.160 --> 00:06:59.819
 by the devil

00:06:59.819 --> 00:07:01.280
 while he's hungry.

00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:02.379
 That sounds a lot

00:07:02.379 --> 00:07:03.060
 like Israel

00:07:03.060 --> 00:07:03.840
 in the wilderness.

00:07:05.139 --> 00:07:06.160
 And then chapter 5

00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:07.439
 Jesus ascends the mount

00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:08.139
 and gives

00:07:08.139 --> 00:07:09.660
 teaching on the law.

00:07:09.740 --> 00:07:10.720
 Well, that sounds a lot

00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:12.240
 like Moses

00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:13.220
 and Israel.

00:07:13.220 --> 00:07:15.060
 And this goes on

00:07:15.060 --> 00:07:15.720
 and on and on

00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:16.400
 throughout Matthew

00:07:16.400 --> 00:07:17.480
 but you get the point.

00:07:18.340 --> 00:07:19.300
 Matthew is carefully

00:07:19.300 --> 00:07:20.540
 weaving this story

00:07:20.540 --> 00:07:22.340
 to show how Jesus

00:07:22.340 --> 00:07:23.160
 identifies

00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:24.440
 with Israel.

00:07:24.620 --> 00:07:25.280
 He is

00:07:25.280 --> 00:07:27.560
 the new Israel.

00:07:28.500 --> 00:07:30.020
 So in his great humility

00:07:30.020 --> 00:07:31.020
 in his great wisdom

00:07:31.020 --> 00:07:31.700
 and mercy

00:07:31.700 --> 00:07:34.160
 Christ is symbolically

00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:34.680
 saying

00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:35.380
 through the act

00:07:35.380 --> 00:07:36.220
 of this baptism

00:07:36.220 --> 00:07:37.920
 I will take on

00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:38.940
 my people's exile.

00:07:39.260 --> 00:07:40.160
 I will take on

00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:40.680
 their sin

00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:41.860
 by going in

00:07:41.860 --> 00:07:42.620
 to exile.

00:07:43.220 --> 00:07:43.960
 I will bear

00:07:43.960 --> 00:07:44.480
 what they have

00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:44.800
 born.

00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:48.360
 Now by itself

00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:49.340
 that doesn't make

00:07:49.340 --> 00:07:50.760
 sense.

00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:51.800
 How does Jesus

00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:52.760
 entering exile

00:07:52.760 --> 00:07:54.300
 help his people?

00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:56.060
 And since he is

00:07:56.060 --> 00:07:56.820
 without sin

00:07:56.820 --> 00:07:57.680
 born of the virgin

00:07:57.680 --> 00:07:58.940
 why would he

00:07:58.940 --> 00:07:59.420
 participate

00:07:59.420 --> 00:08:00.380
 in a baptism

00:08:00.380 --> 00:08:01.380
 of repentance

00:08:01.380 --> 00:08:02.800
 to begin with?

00:08:03.880 --> 00:08:05.560
 This kind of thinking

00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:06.380
 I think

00:08:06.380 --> 00:08:07.940
 is what led

00:08:07.940 --> 00:08:08.900
 to John's objection

00:08:08.899 --> 00:08:10.079
 in verse 14.

00:08:10.219 --> 00:08:10.579
 Did you notice

00:08:10.579 --> 00:08:11.319
 he would have

00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:12.519
 prevented him

00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:13.739
 saying I have

00:08:13.739 --> 00:08:14.219
 need of you

00:08:14.219 --> 00:08:14.779
 but you come

00:08:14.779 --> 00:08:15.120
 to me?

00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:17.500
 So why would

00:08:17.500 --> 00:08:17.979
 John

00:08:17.979 --> 00:08:19.679
 baptize Jesus?

00:08:19.819 --> 00:08:20.579
 Why would Jesus

00:08:20.579 --> 00:08:21.839
 initiate this?

00:08:23.479 --> 00:08:24.019
 Well we then

00:08:24.019 --> 00:08:24.799
 learn from Jesus

00:08:24.799 --> 00:08:25.739
 response that

00:08:25.739 --> 00:08:26.159
 Jesus

00:08:26.159 --> 00:08:28.060
 is the savior

00:08:28.060 --> 00:08:29.459
 of his people.

00:08:29.719 --> 00:08:30.620
 Jesus is the

00:08:30.620 --> 00:08:31.079
 savior

00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:33.279
 of his people.

00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:34.759
 Go ahead

00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:35.139
 and look at

00:08:35.139 --> 00:08:35.899
 verse 15.

00:08:35.899 --> 00:08:36.840
 Jesus answers

00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:37.860
 John saying

00:08:37.860 --> 00:08:39.699
 permit it for

00:08:39.699 --> 00:08:41.299
 now in this

00:08:41.299 --> 00:08:43.000
 manner it is

00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:44.039
 fitting for us

00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:44.959
 to fulfill

00:08:44.959 --> 00:08:47.340
 all righteousness.

00:08:49.100 --> 00:08:50.039
 Now Jesus

00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:51.120
 is not saying

00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:52.039
 that the act

00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:53.059
 of baptism

00:08:53.059 --> 00:08:54.159
 saves us.

00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:54.699
 This is not

00:08:54.699 --> 00:08:55.779
 a proof text

00:08:55.779 --> 00:08:56.480
 for so-called

00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:57.299
 baptismal

00:08:57.299 --> 00:08:58.159
 regeneration.

00:08:59.100 --> 00:09:00.319
 We are saved

00:09:00.319 --> 00:09:01.759
 by grace alone

00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:02.720
 through faith alone

00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:03.899
 apart from

00:09:03.899 --> 00:09:04.819
 works of the

00:09:04.819 --> 00:09:05.139
 law.

00:09:05.899 --> 00:09:07.079
 Just one

00:09:07.079 --> 00:09:07.399
 example

00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:07.980
 consider the

00:09:07.980 --> 00:09:08.659
 thief on the

00:09:08.659 --> 00:09:09.240
 cross whom

00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:10.079
 Jesus forgives

00:09:10.079 --> 00:09:10.659
 and promises

00:09:10.659 --> 00:09:12.039
 today you

00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:12.559
 will be with

00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:13.079
 me in

00:09:13.079 --> 00:09:13.519
 paradise.

00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:15.679
 Clearly the

00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:16.500
 thief in his

00:09:16.500 --> 00:09:17.179
 final moments

00:09:17.179 --> 00:09:18.419
 of life on

00:09:18.419 --> 00:09:19.240
 the cross was

00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:20.059
 saved yet

00:09:20.059 --> 00:09:20.659
 without

00:09:20.659 --> 00:09:22.340
 baptism.

00:09:22.539 --> 00:09:22.879
 So this

00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:23.620
 can't be what

00:09:23.620 --> 00:09:24.720
 Jesus means.

00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:26.459
 Nor do I

00:09:26.459 --> 00:09:26.899
 think Matthew

00:09:26.899 --> 00:09:27.559
 is talking about

00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:29.019
 the imputation

00:09:29.019 --> 00:09:30.159
 of righteousness.

00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:32.399
 Now doctrinally

00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:33.179
 speaking I do

00:09:33.179 --> 00:09:33.960
 believe that

00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:34.759
 Christ's righteousness

00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:35.759
 is imputed to

00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:36.279
 believers.

00:09:37.340 --> 00:09:37.840
 Paul makes

00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:38.659
 that clear in

00:09:38.659 --> 00:09:39.600
 Romans 4 verse

00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:40.620
 3 he writes

00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:43.299
 Abraham believed

00:09:43.299 --> 00:09:44.960
 God and it

00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:45.899
 was counted to

00:09:45.899 --> 00:09:47.019
 him or reckoned

00:09:47.019 --> 00:09:48.460
 as righteousness.

00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:50.559
 So that idea of

00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:51.360
 imputed righteousness

00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:52.360
 is true it's

00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:53.080
 biblical it's

00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:53.879
 essential it's

00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:56.000
 wonderful but I

00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:57.220
 don't think that's

00:09:57.220 --> 00:09:57.580
 what's being

00:09:57.580 --> 00:09:58.919
 discussed in

00:09:58.919 --> 00:09:59.879
 Matthew 3 15.

00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:02.200
 I think people

00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:02.539
 who say

00:10:02.539 --> 00:10:03.100
 otherwise have

00:10:03.100 --> 00:10:03.519
 a case of

00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:04.200
 right doctrine

00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:04.980
 but wrong

00:10:04.980 --> 00:10:06.039
 text.

00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:07.580
 Rather in

00:10:07.580 --> 00:10:08.139
 Matthew the

00:10:08.139 --> 00:10:09.139
 term righteousness

00:10:09.139 --> 00:10:11.759
 usually conveys

00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:13.600
 salvation or

00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:14.340
 more commonly

00:10:14.340 --> 00:10:15.419
 in Matthew a

00:10:15.419 --> 00:10:16.080
 ethical

00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:16.840
 righteousness as

00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:17.840
 an actual good

00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:18.779
 works.

00:10:19.779 --> 00:10:20.419
 And this does

00:10:20.419 --> 00:10:21.139
 not mean Matthew

00:10:21.139 --> 00:10:22.100
 is preaching a

00:10:22.100 --> 00:10:22.960
 different gospel

00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:23.500
 than Paul.

00:10:24.299 --> 00:10:24.879
 It's not a

00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:25.820
 contradiction between

00:10:25.820 --> 00:10:26.419
 the two at all.

00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:27.399
 It's just that he's

00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:28.419
 emphasizing something

00:10:28.419 --> 00:10:30.179
 different using

00:10:30.179 --> 00:10:30.899
 the same work.

00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:31.659
 And this is why

00:10:31.659 --> 00:10:32.399
 people can get

00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:33.840
 confused.

00:10:34.860 --> 00:10:35.879
 So an example

00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:36.879
 of the ethical

00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:37.879
 use of righteousness

00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:39.079
 or the good works

00:10:39.079 --> 00:10:40.620
 sense of it is

00:10:40.620 --> 00:10:41.779
 Matthew 5 10.

00:10:43.059 --> 00:10:44.059
 Blessed are those

00:10:44.059 --> 00:10:46.220
 persecuted for

00:10:46.220 --> 00:10:47.500
 righteousness sake.

00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:49.779
 Clearly Jesus

00:10:49.779 --> 00:10:50.480
 intends in that

00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:52.379
 passage those who

00:10:52.379 --> 00:10:53.279
 are persecuted for

00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:54.799
 living righteously

00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:56.559
 by doing the

00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:57.259
 right things

00:10:57.259 --> 00:10:58.099
 being the right

00:10:58.099 --> 00:11:00.359
 kind of person.

00:11:01.419 --> 00:11:02.539
 An example of

00:11:02.539 --> 00:11:03.419
 righteousness used

00:11:03.419 --> 00:11:04.439
 to convey salvation

00:11:04.439 --> 00:11:05.500
 in Matthew would

00:11:05.500 --> 00:11:06.759
 be Matthew 6 33.

00:11:07.939 --> 00:11:08.939
 Seek first the

00:11:08.939 --> 00:11:09.899
 kingdom of God

00:11:09.899 --> 00:11:10.759
 and his

00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:12.319
 righteousness.

00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:14.459
 The coming of

00:11:14.459 --> 00:11:14.879
 the kingdom

00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:15.619
 inheriting the

00:11:15.619 --> 00:11:16.359
 kingdom entering

00:11:16.359 --> 00:11:16.879
 the kingdom.

00:11:17.059 --> 00:11:17.539
 These are all

00:11:17.539 --> 00:11:19.319
 ways to describe

00:11:19.319 --> 00:11:20.359
 salvation and

00:11:20.359 --> 00:11:21.979
 God's rule and

00:11:21.979 --> 00:11:22.500
 reign.

00:11:23.719 --> 00:11:24.199
 And so in

00:11:24.199 --> 00:11:25.079
 chapter 6 verse

00:11:25.079 --> 00:11:26.479
 33 Matthew puts

00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:27.340
 kingdom of God

00:11:27.340 --> 00:11:28.080
 and righteousness

00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:29.440
 in tandem.

00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:30.420
 It's a package

00:11:30.420 --> 00:11:31.940
 deal.

00:11:33.220 --> 00:11:34.060
 So in our

00:11:34.060 --> 00:11:35.519
 text chapter 3

00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:37.659
 verse 15 I

00:11:37.659 --> 00:11:38.560
 think both these

00:11:38.560 --> 00:11:39.399
 uses of

00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:40.720
 righteousness are

00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:41.159
 in play.

00:11:41.340 --> 00:11:42.240
 Jesus is saying

00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.080
 that in the

00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:44.480
 manner of

00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:45.639
 baptism we will

00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:46.659
 fulfill all

00:11:46.659 --> 00:11:47.899
 righteousness.

00:11:47.899 --> 00:11:49.139
 Both this ethical

00:11:49.139 --> 00:11:50.000
 righteousness by

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:50.820
 keeping the law

00:11:50.820 --> 00:11:52.080
 doing good works

00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.200
 perfectly but

00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:55.140
 also the long

00:11:55.140 --> 00:11:56.300
 awaited salvation

00:11:56.300 --> 00:11:58.320
 that Israel

00:11:58.320 --> 00:11:59.340
 longed for

00:11:59.340 --> 00:12:00.480
 in exile.

00:12:02.560 --> 00:12:03.520
 He's saying I

00:12:03.520 --> 00:12:04.080
 will bring this

00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:04.740
 about as your

00:12:04.740 --> 00:12:05.800
 just and

00:12:05.800 --> 00:12:07.020
 righteous king.

00:12:08.500 --> 00:12:09.500
 So Jesus is

00:12:09.500 --> 00:12:10.020
 saying something

00:12:10.020 --> 00:12:10.860
 about the manner

00:12:10.860 --> 00:12:11.700
 in which he will

00:12:11.700 --> 00:12:13.060
 save his people.

00:12:13.160 --> 00:12:13.680
 He is our

00:12:13.680 --> 00:12:14.460
 savior we've seen

00:12:14.460 --> 00:12:14.920
 that but he's

00:12:14.920 --> 00:12:15.340
 also saying

00:12:15.340 --> 00:12:15.700
 something about

00:12:15.700 --> 00:12:16.660
 the manner in

00:12:16.660 --> 00:12:17.100
 which he will

00:12:17.100 --> 00:12:17.820
 save us.

00:12:18.660 --> 00:12:19.420
 But we already

00:12:19.420 --> 00:12:20.100
 saw it's not

00:12:20.100 --> 00:12:21.240
 baptism that saves

00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:21.700
 so what is

00:12:21.700 --> 00:12:22.100
 he showing

00:12:22.100 --> 00:12:22.320
 us?

00:12:22.419 --> 00:12:23.139
 What is it

00:12:23.139 --> 00:12:24.240
 that saves

00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:24.379
 us?

00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:24.779
 What is

00:12:24.779 --> 00:12:25.899
 Jesus saying?

00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:28.600
 Well this is

00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:29.080
 the next thing

00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:29.440
 we learn.

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:30.879
 Jesus is saying

00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:32.720
 he will suffer

00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:33.680
 for his people

00:12:33.680 --> 00:12:35.779
 to bring peace

00:12:35.779 --> 00:12:36.759
 and new creation

00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:38.180
 through the

00:12:38.180 --> 00:12:38.600
 spirit.

00:12:39.659 --> 00:12:40.460
 Jesus will

00:12:40.460 --> 00:12:41.500
 suffer for his

00:12:41.500 --> 00:12:42.279
 people to bring

00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:43.340
 peace and new

00:12:43.340 --> 00:12:45.120
 creation through

00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:46.340
 the spirit.

00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:48.600
 Go ahead and

00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:49.100
 look at verse

00:12:49.100 --> 00:12:49.820
 16.

00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:52.440
 when he was

00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:53.019
 baptized

00:12:53.019 --> 00:12:54.299
 immediately

00:12:54.299 --> 00:12:55.299
 Jesus came up

00:12:55.299 --> 00:12:56.039
 from the water

00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:57.440
 and behold the

00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:58.120
 heavens were

00:12:58.120 --> 00:12:58.980
 open to him

00:12:58.980 --> 00:13:00.019
 and he saw

00:13:00.019 --> 00:13:00.879
 the spirit of

00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:01.539
 God descending

00:13:01.539 --> 00:13:02.500
 like a dove

00:13:02.500 --> 00:13:04.480
 and coming to

00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:05.539
 rest on him.

00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:08.019
 So immersion

00:13:08.019 --> 00:13:09.139
 really matters

00:13:09.139 --> 00:13:10.220
 to understand

00:13:10.220 --> 00:13:11.779
 this imagery.

00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:12.600
 This isn't just

00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:13.240
 a Baptist

00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:13.879
 shtick.

00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:15.340
 This matters.

00:13:16.779 --> 00:13:17.700
 Jesus goes

00:13:17.700 --> 00:13:18.899
 under the

00:13:18.899 --> 00:13:19.240
 water.

00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:19.700
 He's not

00:13:19.700 --> 00:13:20.519
 dabbled by it.

00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:20.919
 He goes

00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:21.519
 under.

00:13:22.740 --> 00:13:23.639
 And significantly

00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:25.179
 this signifies

00:13:25.179 --> 00:13:26.159
 death.

00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:27.939
 Being under

00:13:27.939 --> 00:13:28.799
 the wrath

00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:30.139
 of God.

00:13:31.179 --> 00:13:31.699
 And Paul

00:13:31.699 --> 00:13:32.340
 certainly

00:13:32.340 --> 00:13:33.299
 understood it

00:13:33.299 --> 00:13:34.220
 this way.

00:13:34.299 --> 00:13:35.120
 Romans 6

00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:35.919
 4.

00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:36.360
 He says

00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:36.919
 we were

00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:37.519
 buried

00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:38.139
 therefore

00:13:38.139 --> 00:13:39.639
 with him

00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:41.299
 by baptism

00:13:41.299 --> 00:13:42.039
 into death

00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:43.120
 in order

00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:43.759
 that just

00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:44.299
 as Christ

00:13:44.299 --> 00:13:45.000
 was raised

00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:45.720
 from the

00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:45.960
 dead

00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:46.379
 by the

00:13:46.379 --> 00:13:46.699
 glory of

00:13:46.700 --> 00:13:47.080
 father

00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:48.140
 we too

00:13:48.140 --> 00:13:49.379
 might walk

00:13:49.379 --> 00:13:50.480
 in newness

00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.480
 of life.

00:13:54.020 --> 00:13:54.780
 Now Jesus'

00:13:55.020 --> 00:13:55.700
 audience in

00:13:55.700 --> 00:13:56.080
 Matthew

00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:57.120
 would have

00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:57.560
 understood

00:13:57.560 --> 00:13:58.420
 this imagery

00:13:58.420 --> 00:13:59.660
 as the

00:13:59.660 --> 00:14:00.220
 Old Testament

00:14:00.220 --> 00:14:01.120
 often has

00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:01.660
 negative

00:14:01.660 --> 00:14:02.440
 connotations

00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:03.060
 for water.

00:14:04.140 --> 00:14:04.580
 So again

00:14:04.580 --> 00:14:05.320
 this is largely

00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:05.940
 due to the

00:14:05.940 --> 00:14:06.540
 flood as I

00:14:06.540 --> 00:14:07.160
 already referenced

00:14:07.160 --> 00:14:07.640
 that would be

00:14:07.640 --> 00:14:08.120
 a big

00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:08.600
 symbolic

00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:09.560
 thing in

00:14:09.560 --> 00:14:10.040
 their mind

00:14:10.040 --> 00:14:10.379
 when it

00:14:10.379 --> 00:14:10.720
 comes to

00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:11.120
 water.

00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:12.820
 So in

00:14:12.820 --> 00:14:13.159
 Matthew 3

00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:13.560
 16

00:14:13.560 --> 00:14:14.220
 Jesus is

00:14:14.220 --> 00:14:15.460
 foreshadowing

00:14:15.460 --> 00:14:16.060
 his own

00:14:16.060 --> 00:14:16.960
 death.

00:14:17.060 --> 00:14:17.460
 This is why

00:14:17.460 --> 00:14:17.919
 he says in

00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:19.139
 verse 15

00:14:19.139 --> 00:14:20.340
 in this

00:14:20.340 --> 00:14:20.820
 manner.

00:14:20.899 --> 00:14:21.120
 In other

00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:21.799
 words in

00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:22.080
 a way

00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:23.000
 similar to

00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:23.259
 what I'm

00:14:23.259 --> 00:14:23.659
 about to

00:14:23.659 --> 00:14:24.480
 symbolically

00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:24.960
 enact

00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:26.379
 we will

00:14:26.379 --> 00:14:26.899
 fulfill

00:14:26.899 --> 00:14:28.259
 all

00:14:28.259 --> 00:14:28.779
 righteousness.

00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:30.580
 Christ

00:14:30.580 --> 00:14:31.139
 goes down

00:14:31.139 --> 00:14:31.980
 into death

00:14:31.980 --> 00:14:32.539
 to identify

00:14:32.539 --> 00:14:33.000
 with his

00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:34.179
 people but

00:14:34.179 --> 00:14:35.019
 importantly as

00:14:35.019 --> 00:14:35.600
 verse 15

00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.019
 says he

00:14:37.019 --> 00:14:37.799
 comes back

00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:38.240
 up

00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:39.180
 immediately

00:14:39.179 --> 00:14:41.219
 and so

00:14:41.219 --> 00:14:41.639
 thus he

00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:42.219
 foreshadows

00:14:42.219 --> 00:14:42.500
 his

00:14:42.500 --> 00:14:43.459
 resurrection

00:14:43.459 --> 00:14:43.919
 and the

00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:44.459
 resurrection

00:14:44.459 --> 00:14:46.419
 of all

00:14:46.419 --> 00:14:48.000
 believers.

00:14:50.139 --> 00:14:50.839
 But this

00:14:50.839 --> 00:14:51.299
 is not all

00:14:51.299 --> 00:14:51.579
 that is

00:14:51.579 --> 00:14:52.219
 signified in

00:14:52.219 --> 00:14:52.719
 this scene.

00:14:52.839 --> 00:14:53.199
 The imagery

00:14:53.199 --> 00:14:53.959
 goes on

00:14:53.959 --> 00:14:54.219
 and it

00:14:54.219 --> 00:14:54.879
 reminds us

00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:55.199
 that the

00:14:55.199 --> 00:14:55.859
 gospel is

00:14:55.859 --> 00:14:56.399
 not merely

00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:56.979
 a free

00:14:56.979 --> 00:14:57.399
 get out

00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:57.739
 of hell

00:14:57.739 --> 00:14:58.539
 jail card.

00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:00.019
 As great

00:15:00.019 --> 00:15:00.699
 as that is

00:15:00.699 --> 00:15:01.139
 as much

00:15:01.139 --> 00:15:01.459
 as I

00:15:01.459 --> 00:15:02.199
 love that

00:15:02.199 --> 00:15:03.519
 it is

00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:04.240
 even better

00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:05.519
 more full

00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:06.699
 more rich

00:15:06.699 --> 00:15:08.259
 more satisfying

00:15:08.259 --> 00:15:10.720
 Jesus

00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:11.899
 brings peace

00:15:11.899 --> 00:15:12.500
 and new

00:15:12.500 --> 00:15:13.019
 creation

00:15:13.019 --> 00:15:14.439
 through

00:15:14.439 --> 00:15:15.720
 the spirit.

00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:18.759
 In the

00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:19.240
 Greco-Roman

00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:19.799
 world there

00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:20.319
 was a

00:15:20.319 --> 00:15:20.620
 common

00:15:20.620 --> 00:15:21.100
 practice

00:15:21.100 --> 00:15:21.480
 called

00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:21.980
 augury.

00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:23.200
 This was

00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:23.720
 a practice

00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:24.559
 where augers

00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:25.639
 would examine

00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:26.319
 birds,

00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:27.799
 their flight

00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:28.279
 patterns,

00:15:28.419 --> 00:15:29.039
 their cries,

00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:29.700
 what types

00:15:29.700 --> 00:15:30.259
 of birds

00:15:30.259 --> 00:15:30.759
 and these

00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:31.179
 kinds of

00:15:31.179 --> 00:15:31.659
 things.

00:15:32.700 --> 00:15:33.139
 And after

00:15:33.139 --> 00:15:33.740
 they examined

00:15:33.740 --> 00:15:34.100
 all this

00:15:34.100 --> 00:15:34.659
 information

00:15:34.659 --> 00:15:35.200
 on a given

00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:35.700
 day it

00:15:35.700 --> 00:15:36.200
 would reveal

00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:36.679
 the will

00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:36.939
 of the

00:15:36.939 --> 00:15:37.480
 gods.

00:15:38.259 --> 00:15:38.600
 If you

00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:38.759
 want to

00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:38.960
 know what

00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:39.360
 this looks

00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:39.659
 like,

00:15:39.779 --> 00:15:40.139
 come find

00:15:40.139 --> 00:15:40.340
 me on

00:15:40.340 --> 00:15:40.700
 a Saturday

00:15:40.700 --> 00:15:41.100
 morning.

00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:43.220
 You may

00:15:43.220 --> 00:15:44.059
 recall this

00:15:44.059 --> 00:15:44.620
 from the

00:15:44.620 --> 00:15:45.279
 movie Troy

00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:45.580
 if you've

00:15:45.580 --> 00:15:46.039
 ever seen

00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:46.159
 it.

00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:46.419
 They look

00:15:46.419 --> 00:15:46.639
 at the

00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:47.080
 birds and

00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:47.360
 they're like,

00:15:47.439 --> 00:15:47.840
 oh yeah,

00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:48.100
 we're going

00:15:48.100 --> 00:15:48.580
 to be good.

00:15:49.179 --> 00:15:49.580
 But then

00:15:49.580 --> 00:15:50.000
 they're not,

00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:51.059
 so the city

00:15:51.059 --> 00:15:51.700
 is besieged.

00:15:52.259 --> 00:15:53.480
 But nonetheless,

00:15:53.819 --> 00:15:54.379
 that would be

00:15:54.379 --> 00:15:55.059
 an example

00:15:55.059 --> 00:15:56.500
 of augury.

00:15:57.460 --> 00:15:57.899
 It's a big

00:15:57.899 --> 00:15:58.159
 deal,

00:15:58.259 --> 00:15:58.960
 very widespread,

00:15:59.179 --> 00:15:59.759
 very common.

00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:01.419
 Even Jews

00:16:01.419 --> 00:16:02.759
 probably participate

00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:03.259
 in this,

00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:03.580
 you know,

00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:04.000
 the ones who

00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:04.379
 were less

00:16:04.379 --> 00:16:05.259
 faithful to

00:16:05.259 --> 00:16:05.720
 Yahweh.

00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:08.019
 And

00:16:08.019 --> 00:16:08.560
 significantly,

00:16:08.860 --> 00:16:09.500
 certain birds

00:16:09.500 --> 00:16:10.139
 were associated

00:16:10.139 --> 00:16:10.840
 with certain

00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:11.460
 omens.

00:16:12.680 --> 00:16:13.440
 The eagle

00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:14.399
 was favored

00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:15.000
 because it

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:16.340
 signified strength,

00:16:16.560 --> 00:16:18.240
 military superiority,

00:16:18.620 --> 00:16:20.000
 and prosperity.

00:16:20.379 --> 00:16:21.040
 This was the

00:16:21.040 --> 00:16:21.920
 preferred bird

00:16:21.920 --> 00:16:23.279
 for kings

00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:23.899
 and generals,

00:16:24.060 --> 00:16:24.440
 and this is

00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:26.060
 why the

00:16:26.060 --> 00:16:26.740
 Roman armies

00:16:26.740 --> 00:16:27.560
 carried an

00:16:27.560 --> 00:16:28.759
 eagle standard

00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:29.460
 and not a

00:16:29.460 --> 00:16:30.300
 duck standard.

00:16:30.299 --> 00:16:31.779
 Right?

00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:32.299
 And likewise,

00:16:32.500 --> 00:16:32.879
 it is why

00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:33.799
 Nazi Germany,

00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:34.659
 even the

00:16:34.659 --> 00:16:35.259
 United States

00:16:35.259 --> 00:16:35.819
 of America,

00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:36.319
 and many

00:16:36.319 --> 00:16:37.000
 other nations

00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:38.319
 since then

00:16:38.319 --> 00:16:39.479
 have used

00:16:39.479 --> 00:16:39.919
 eagles

00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:41.019
 as a symbol

00:16:41.019 --> 00:16:41.419
 for their

00:16:41.419 --> 00:16:41.859
 military.

00:16:42.199 --> 00:16:43.099
 It is a sign

00:16:43.099 --> 00:16:43.839
 of strength,

00:16:44.179 --> 00:16:44.659
 superiority.

00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:48.179
 On the other

00:16:48.179 --> 00:16:48.419
 hand,

00:16:48.479 --> 00:16:48.919
 you have

00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:49.979
 the dove.

00:16:51.219 --> 00:16:51.979
 One of the

00:16:51.979 --> 00:16:52.779
 less respected

00:16:52.779 --> 00:16:53.620
 birds in

00:16:53.620 --> 00:16:54.039
 augury.

00:16:55.259 --> 00:16:55.779
 The dove

00:16:55.779 --> 00:16:56.419
 symbolized

00:16:56.419 --> 00:16:57.059
 peace,

00:16:57.740 --> 00:16:58.339
 gentleness,

00:16:58.819 --> 00:16:59.259
 love.

00:16:59.259 --> 00:17:00.319
 That sounds

00:17:00.319 --> 00:17:01.120
 great to us,

00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:01.779
 to a Roman.

00:17:02.779 --> 00:17:03.240
 I'm going to

00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:03.799
 bully you.

00:17:04.059 --> 00:17:04.160
 Right?

00:17:04.259 --> 00:17:06.019
 That doesn't

00:17:06.019 --> 00:17:06.680
 sound that great.

00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:07.420
 You don't want

00:17:07.420 --> 00:17:07.859
 the dove.

00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:08.339
 It kind of

00:17:08.339 --> 00:17:08.819
 makes you look

00:17:08.819 --> 00:17:09.460
 a little weak.

00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:10.799
 You want

00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:11.299
 the eagle,

00:17:11.779 --> 00:17:12.519
 especially if

00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:13.000
 you're a king.

00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:13.740
 You want

00:17:13.740 --> 00:17:14.180
 the eagle.

00:17:15.859 --> 00:17:16.559
 So you can

00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:17.059
 imagine the

00:17:17.059 --> 00:17:18.059
 shock when in

00:17:18.059 --> 00:17:18.579
 Matthew's

00:17:18.579 --> 00:17:19.059
 gospel,

00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:19.799
 which is the

00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:20.740
 royal gospel,

00:17:20.879 --> 00:17:21.440
 the kingly

00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:21.859
 gospel,

00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:22.319
 where we are

00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:22.759
 constantly

00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:24.200
 reminded that

00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:24.559
 Jesus,

00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:25.319
 the son of

00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:25.640
 David,

00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:26.420
 is king and

00:17:26.420 --> 00:17:26.720
 lord.

00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:28.099
 The shock

00:17:28.099 --> 00:17:28.839
 when a bird

00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:29.480
 descends from

00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:29.839
 heaven,

00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:31.359
 and it's

00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:32.019
 not an eagle.

00:17:32.939 --> 00:17:34.000
 It's a dove.

00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:35.159
 He did not

00:17:35.159 --> 00:17:35.819
 come to

00:17:35.819 --> 00:17:36.679
 conquer the

00:17:36.679 --> 00:17:37.379
 Romans and

00:17:37.379 --> 00:17:38.599
 lead a

00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:39.819
 military campaign.

00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:42.539
 He came to

00:17:42.539 --> 00:17:43.439
 bring peace to

00:17:43.439 --> 00:17:44.339
 sinners stuck

00:17:44.339 --> 00:17:45.199
 in exile who

00:17:45.199 --> 00:17:45.579
 need to be

00:17:45.579 --> 00:17:46.339
 made bright

00:17:46.339 --> 00:17:47.899
 with God.

00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:50.779
 Further,

00:17:50.899 --> 00:17:51.339
 this dove

00:17:51.339 --> 00:17:52.500
 symbolizes new

00:17:52.500 --> 00:17:53.679
 creation.

00:17:54.619 --> 00:17:55.139
 So keep in

00:17:55.139 --> 00:17:55.379
 mind,

00:17:55.899 --> 00:17:56.339
 it is the

00:17:56.339 --> 00:17:57.299
 spirit of God

00:17:57.299 --> 00:17:57.960
 coming in

00:17:57.960 --> 00:17:58.740
 the likeness

00:17:58.740 --> 00:17:59.259
 of a

00:17:59.259 --> 00:17:59.559
 dove.

00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:01.180
 This

00:18:01.180 --> 00:18:01.619
 calls to

00:18:01.619 --> 00:18:01.799
 mind

00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:02.159
 Genesis

00:18:02.159 --> 00:18:02.859
 chapter 1

00:18:02.859 --> 00:18:03.519
 verse 2,

00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:04.899
 which says,

00:18:05.019 --> 00:18:05.359
 the earth

00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:05.819
 was without

00:18:05.819 --> 00:18:06.599
 form and

00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:07.059
 void,

00:18:07.659 --> 00:18:08.399
 and darkness

00:18:08.399 --> 00:18:08.819
 was over

00:18:08.819 --> 00:18:09.359
 the face

00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:09.720
 of the

00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:10.079
 deep,

00:18:10.299 --> 00:18:10.919
 and the

00:18:10.919 --> 00:18:11.359
 spirit of

00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:11.779
 God was

00:18:11.779 --> 00:18:12.579
 hovering over

00:18:12.579 --> 00:18:13.180
 the face

00:18:13.180 --> 00:18:14.240
 of the

00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:14.680
 waters.

00:18:15.779 --> 00:18:16.079
 Now that

00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:16.480
 verb,

00:18:16.639 --> 00:18:16.940
 hovering,

00:18:17.139 --> 00:18:17.559
 is a

00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:18.059
 word often

00:18:18.059 --> 00:18:18.519
 used to

00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:18.839
 describe

00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:19.659
 birds.

00:18:20.099 --> 00:18:20.399
 And a

00:18:20.399 --> 00:18:20.700
 lot of

00:18:20.700 --> 00:18:21.059
 ancient

00:18:21.059 --> 00:18:21.720
 interpreters

00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:22.220
 connected

00:18:22.220 --> 00:18:22.839
 this hovering

00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:24.339
 word with

00:18:24.339 --> 00:18:25.099
 the dove

00:18:25.099 --> 00:18:25.439
 that we

00:18:25.439 --> 00:18:25.919
 read about

00:18:25.919 --> 00:18:26.480
 in Matthew

00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:27.439
 3.

00:18:29.139 --> 00:18:29.659
 More

00:18:29.659 --> 00:18:30.259
 concretely

00:18:30.259 --> 00:18:30.500
 though,

00:18:30.579 --> 00:18:31.059
 the dove

00:18:31.059 --> 00:18:31.619
 recalls

00:18:31.619 --> 00:18:32.519
 Noah after

00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:33.159
 the flood.

00:18:34.099 --> 00:18:34.740
 In the

00:18:34.740 --> 00:18:35.240
 narrative of

00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:35.659
 Genesis,

00:18:36.659 --> 00:18:37.759
 God wipes

00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:38.500
 out humanity

00:18:38.500 --> 00:18:38.859
 with a

00:18:38.859 --> 00:18:39.719
 worldwide flood

00:18:39.719 --> 00:18:40.379
 and essentially

00:18:40.379 --> 00:18:41.599
 starts creation

00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:42.179
 over.

00:18:43.059 --> 00:18:43.639
 First Adam

00:18:43.639 --> 00:18:44.219
 messed up,

00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:44.439
 well,

00:18:44.500 --> 00:18:44.980
 I'll make a

00:18:44.980 --> 00:18:45.439
 new Adam.

00:18:45.500 --> 00:18:45.879
 His name's

00:18:45.879 --> 00:18:46.139
 going to be

00:18:46.139 --> 00:18:46.459
 Noah.

00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:47.659
 I'm going

00:18:47.659 --> 00:18:47.980
 to keep

00:18:47.980 --> 00:18:48.240
 him and

00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:48.679
 his little

00:18:48.679 --> 00:18:49.379
 family alive

00:18:49.379 --> 00:18:49.839
 and wipe

00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:50.500
 out everybody,

00:18:50.659 --> 00:18:51.019
 wipe out

00:18:51.019 --> 00:18:51.539
 the land.

00:18:51.959 --> 00:18:52.219
 I'm going

00:18:52.219 --> 00:18:52.599
 to start

00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:52.919
 over.

00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:53.319
 Let's see

00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:53.599
 how this

00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:54.099
 goes.

00:18:54.099 --> 00:18:55.240
 Not that

00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:55.699
 he knows

00:18:55.699 --> 00:18:55.919
 how it's

00:18:55.919 --> 00:18:56.059
 going to

00:18:56.059 --> 00:18:56.259
 go,

00:18:56.399 --> 00:18:57.379
 but you

00:18:57.379 --> 00:18:57.619
 get the

00:18:57.619 --> 00:18:58.059
 idea.

00:18:58.359 --> 00:18:58.719
 So in

00:18:58.719 --> 00:18:59.159
 the narrative,

00:18:59.419 --> 00:18:59.740
 you're

00:18:59.740 --> 00:19:00.119
 expecting,

00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:00.439
 okay,

00:19:00.500 --> 00:19:00.859
 things are

00:19:00.859 --> 00:19:00.980
 going to

00:19:00.980 --> 00:19:01.319
 get better.

00:19:01.379 --> 00:19:01.599
 We got

00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:01.859
 a new

00:19:01.859 --> 00:19:02.099
 Adam,

00:19:02.219 --> 00:19:02.419
 second

00:19:02.419 --> 00:19:02.899
 chance,

00:19:02.980 --> 00:19:03.219
 right?

00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:04.839
 Well,

00:19:04.879 --> 00:19:05.339
 not so.

00:19:05.419 --> 00:19:05.879
 He floods

00:19:05.879 --> 00:19:06.759
 the earth

00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:08.259
 and things

00:19:08.259 --> 00:19:08.719
 don't go so

00:19:08.719 --> 00:19:09.019
 well for

00:19:09.019 --> 00:19:09.219
 Noah and

00:19:09.219 --> 00:19:09.659
 his family

00:19:09.659 --> 00:19:10.259
 later on

00:19:10.259 --> 00:19:10.919
 due to

00:19:10.919 --> 00:19:11.199
 sin.

00:19:11.719 --> 00:19:12.059
 And so

00:19:12.059 --> 00:19:12.519
 you're still

00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:12.879
 awaiting

00:19:12.879 --> 00:19:13.539
 this new

00:19:13.539 --> 00:19:13.919
 Adam,

00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:14.539
 this new

00:19:14.539 --> 00:19:15.719
 Noah.

00:19:17.099 --> 00:19:17.819
 But in

00:19:17.819 --> 00:19:18.500
 that story

00:19:18.500 --> 00:19:19.139
 with Noah,

00:19:20.379 --> 00:19:21.480
 he becomes

00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:21.839
 this new

00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:22.099
 Adam,

00:19:22.219 --> 00:19:22.659
 tragically

00:19:22.659 --> 00:19:23.199
 fails,

00:19:24.099 --> 00:19:25.039
 but the

00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:25.459
 key to

00:19:25.459 --> 00:19:25.879
 this is

00:19:25.879 --> 00:19:26.199
 Genesis

00:19:26.199 --> 00:19:26.639
 8.

00:19:27.019 --> 00:19:27.419
 In that

00:19:27.419 --> 00:19:27.839
 passage,

00:19:27.959 --> 00:19:28.319
 Noah is

00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:28.639
 on the

00:19:28.639 --> 00:19:28.919
 ark,

00:19:29.639 --> 00:19:30.219
 the flood

00:19:30.219 --> 00:19:30.679
 is ending,

00:19:31.159 --> 00:19:31.559
 he doesn't

00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:31.980
 know if

00:19:31.980 --> 00:19:32.359
 it's over

00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:32.699
 yet,

00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:33.779
 and so

00:19:33.779 --> 00:19:34.279
 to test if

00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:34.500
 there's

00:19:34.500 --> 00:19:34.980
 land,

00:19:35.059 --> 00:19:35.319
 he's on

00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:35.679
 a ship,

00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:36.000
 right,

00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:36.459
 the ark,

00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:37.419
 he sends

00:19:37.419 --> 00:19:37.819
 out a

00:19:37.819 --> 00:19:38.039
 dove.

00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:39.500
 And of

00:19:39.500 --> 00:19:39.639
 course,

00:19:39.740 --> 00:19:40.039
 the dove

00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:40.379
 does not

00:19:40.379 --> 00:19:40.939
 return to

00:19:40.939 --> 00:19:41.459
 him once

00:19:41.459 --> 00:19:42.119
 he sends

00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:42.500
 it out,

00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:43.359
 and so

00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:43.759
 that's how

00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:44.319
 Noah knows

00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:44.819
 it's safe

00:19:44.819 --> 00:19:45.199
 to get

00:19:45.199 --> 00:19:45.379
 out.

00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:45.659
 There's

00:19:45.659 --> 00:19:46.159
 land.

00:19:46.379 --> 00:19:46.779
 The dove

00:19:46.779 --> 00:19:47.199
 went

00:19:47.199 --> 00:19:47.679
 somewhere.

00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:49.880
 So

00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:50.140
 notice

00:19:50.140 --> 00:19:50.320
 here,

00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:50.539
 this

00:19:50.539 --> 00:19:51.259
 context

00:19:51.259 --> 00:19:51.820
 is

00:19:51.820 --> 00:19:52.580
 hinting

00:19:52.580 --> 00:19:53.080
 at a

00:19:53.080 --> 00:19:53.380
 new

00:19:53.380 --> 00:19:54.759
 creation.

00:19:54.900 --> 00:19:55.120
 When you

00:19:55.120 --> 00:19:55.860
 string all

00:19:55.860 --> 00:19:56.460
 these threads

00:19:56.460 --> 00:19:56.940
 together,

00:19:57.080 --> 00:19:57.539
 as I believe

00:19:57.539 --> 00:19:58.340
 Matthew intends

00:19:58.340 --> 00:19:58.700
 us to,

00:19:58.779 --> 00:19:59.220
 the picture

00:19:59.220 --> 00:20:00.920
 is clear.

00:20:02.120 --> 00:20:02.380
 Jesus

00:20:02.380 --> 00:20:03.080
 will suffer

00:20:03.080 --> 00:20:03.580
 for his

00:20:03.580 --> 00:20:04.279
 people to

00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:05.019
 bring peace

00:20:05.019 --> 00:20:05.500
 and new

00:20:05.500 --> 00:20:05.960
 creation

00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:07.259
 through

00:20:07.259 --> 00:20:08.480
 the

00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:08.840
 Spirit.

00:20:10.060 --> 00:20:10.380
 It's

00:20:10.380 --> 00:20:10.960
 just as

00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:11.299
 John the

00:20:11.299 --> 00:20:11.560
 Baptist

00:20:11.560 --> 00:20:12.240
 said in

00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:12.920
 Matthew 3.11,

00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:13.240
 he will

00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:14.100
 baptize you

00:20:14.100 --> 00:20:15.220
 with the

00:20:15.220 --> 00:20:16.620
 Holy Spirit.

00:20:16.619 --> 00:20:17.199
 He does

00:20:17.199 --> 00:20:18.439
 so as

00:20:18.439 --> 00:20:18.599
 the

00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:19.059
 anointed

00:20:19.059 --> 00:20:19.739
 one with

00:20:19.739 --> 00:20:19.939
 the

00:20:19.939 --> 00:20:20.579
 Spirit to

00:20:20.579 --> 00:20:21.179
 bring about

00:20:21.179 --> 00:20:22.239
 the promised

00:20:22.239 --> 00:20:22.819
 new covenant

00:20:22.819 --> 00:20:24.159
 in which

00:20:24.159 --> 00:20:24.939
 all members

00:20:24.939 --> 00:20:25.859
 will receive

00:20:25.859 --> 00:20:27.219
 the Spirit.

00:20:29.199 --> 00:20:29.659
 Now,

00:20:29.699 --> 00:20:30.000
 just in

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:30.539
 case someone

00:20:30.539 --> 00:20:31.339
 thinks I'm

00:20:31.339 --> 00:20:31.539
 being a

00:20:31.539 --> 00:20:31.879
 little too

00:20:31.879 --> 00:20:32.519
 creative here

00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:33.059
 making this

00:20:33.059 --> 00:20:33.359
 up,

00:20:33.959 --> 00:20:34.879
 just consider

00:20:34.879 --> 00:20:36.179
 what Paul's

00:20:36.179 --> 00:20:36.939
 understanding

00:20:36.939 --> 00:20:37.599
 of baptism

00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:38.699
 is once

00:20:38.699 --> 00:20:39.639
 more.

00:20:40.899 --> 00:20:41.839
 We already

00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:42.559
 saw from

00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:43.319
 Romans that

00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:44.299
 Paul understands

00:20:44.299 --> 00:20:45.399
 baptism as

00:20:45.399 --> 00:20:46.139
 death and

00:20:46.140 --> 00:20:47.380
 life imagery.

00:20:49.180 --> 00:20:49.960
 In 2 Corinthians

00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:50.759
 5.17,

00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:51.240
 we get a

00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:51.940
 little further

00:20:51.940 --> 00:20:52.540
 insight into

00:20:52.540 --> 00:20:53.040
 Paul and

00:20:53.040 --> 00:20:53.300
 how he

00:20:53.300 --> 00:20:53.680
 understands

00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:54.200
 baptism.

00:20:55.900 --> 00:20:56.180
 He says,

00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:56.500
 therefore,

00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:57.120
 if anyone

00:20:57.120 --> 00:20:57.660
 is in

00:20:57.660 --> 00:20:58.220
 Christ,

00:20:59.120 --> 00:20:59.620
 he is a

00:20:59.620 --> 00:21:00.860
 new creation.

00:21:01.980 --> 00:21:02.440
 The old

00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:03.100
 has passed

00:21:03.100 --> 00:21:03.640
 away.

00:21:03.780 --> 00:21:04.300
 Behold,

00:21:05.080 --> 00:21:05.759
 the new

00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:07.640
 has come.

00:21:08.660 --> 00:21:09.520
 That really

00:21:09.520 --> 00:21:10.720
 enhances how

00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:11.280
 we understand

00:21:11.280 --> 00:21:12.100
 Paul in

00:21:12.100 --> 00:21:12.900
 Romans 6.4,

00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:13.380
 which I read

00:21:13.380 --> 00:21:13.660
 earlier,

00:21:13.660 --> 00:21:14.040
 when he

00:21:14.040 --> 00:21:15.519
 says that

00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:16.180
 we are

00:21:16.180 --> 00:21:17.420
 in newness

00:21:17.420 --> 00:21:18.779
 of life.

00:21:18.900 --> 00:21:19.220
 This is

00:21:19.220 --> 00:21:20.180
 all new

00:21:20.180 --> 00:21:20.960
 creation

00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:22.500
 language.

00:21:23.360 --> 00:21:24.100
 When we

00:21:24.100 --> 00:21:24.680
 baptize

00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:25.040
 someone,

00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:25.779
 we as

00:21:25.779 --> 00:21:26.500
 a church

00:21:26.500 --> 00:21:27.380
 and they

00:21:27.380 --> 00:21:27.720
 as an

00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:28.100
 individual

00:21:28.100 --> 00:21:29.400
 are making

00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:30.140
 a public

00:21:30.140 --> 00:21:30.840
 proclamation

00:21:30.840 --> 00:21:32.200
 that so-and-so

00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:32.740
 is in

00:21:32.740 --> 00:21:33.640
 Christ,

00:21:33.820 --> 00:21:34.480
 so-and-so

00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:34.920
 is a

00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:35.340
 Christian,

00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:36.680
 so-and-so

00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:38.160
 is part

00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:38.680
 of the

00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:39.080
 new

00:21:39.080 --> 00:21:40.440
 creation.

00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:42.460
 this was

00:21:42.460 --> 00:21:42.920
 anticipated

00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:43.420
 by the

00:21:43.420 --> 00:21:43.900
 Old Testament

00:21:43.900 --> 00:21:44.940
 prophecies

00:21:44.940 --> 00:21:45.200
 of the

00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:45.380
 new

00:21:45.380 --> 00:21:45.759
 covenant.

00:21:47.059 --> 00:21:47.360
 You think

00:21:47.360 --> 00:21:47.980
 of Ezekiel

00:21:47.980 --> 00:21:48.759
 36,

00:21:48.940 --> 00:21:49.940
 26-27,

00:21:50.120 --> 00:21:50.700
 which says,

00:21:50.940 --> 00:21:51.740
 God speaks

00:21:51.740 --> 00:21:52.000
 and he

00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:52.299
 says,

00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:54.420
 I will

00:21:54.420 --> 00:21:54.980
 give you

00:21:54.980 --> 00:21:55.460
 a new

00:21:55.460 --> 00:21:55.980
 heart

00:21:55.980 --> 00:21:56.779
 and a

00:21:56.779 --> 00:21:57.039
 new

00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:57.519
 spirit

00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:57.880
 I will

00:21:57.880 --> 00:21:58.140
 put

00:21:58.140 --> 00:21:58.420
 within

00:21:58.420 --> 00:21:58.680
 you,

00:21:59.220 --> 00:21:59.640
 and I

00:21:59.640 --> 00:21:59.759
 will

00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:00.220
 remove

00:22:00.220 --> 00:22:00.420
 the

00:22:00.420 --> 00:22:00.580
 heart

00:22:00.580 --> 00:22:00.700
 of

00:22:00.700 --> 00:22:00.920
 stone

00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:01.120
 from

00:22:01.120 --> 00:22:01.240
 your

00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:01.600
 flesh

00:22:01.600 --> 00:22:01.860
 and

00:22:01.860 --> 00:22:02.279
 give

00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:02.500
 you

00:22:02.500 --> 00:22:02.700
 a

00:22:02.700 --> 00:22:02.860
 heart

00:22:02.860 --> 00:22:03.039
 of

00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:03.720
 flesh,

00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:05.420
 and I

00:22:05.420 --> 00:22:05.519
 will

00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:05.779
 put

00:22:05.779 --> 00:22:06.000
 my

00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:06.299
 spirit

00:22:06.299 --> 00:22:06.539
 within

00:22:06.539 --> 00:22:06.799
 you

00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:07.039
 and

00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:07.559
 cause

00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:07.740
 you

00:22:07.740 --> 00:22:07.940
 to

00:22:07.940 --> 00:22:08.279
 walk

00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:08.900
 in

00:22:08.900 --> 00:22:09.059
 my

00:22:09.059 --> 00:22:09.480
 statues

00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:09.860
 and be

00:22:09.860 --> 00:22:10.319
 careful

00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:11.240
 to

00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:11.460
 obey

00:22:11.460 --> 00:22:11.700
 my

00:22:11.700 --> 00:22:12.200
 rules.

00:22:12.980 --> 00:22:13.240
 So,

00:22:13.380 --> 00:22:13.700
 notice

00:22:13.700 --> 00:22:14.019
 again

00:22:14.019 --> 00:22:14.279
 that

00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:14.640
 new

00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:15.259
 creation

00:22:15.259 --> 00:22:15.579
 language,

00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:15.860
 new

00:22:15.860 --> 00:22:16.240
 heart,

00:22:17.299 --> 00:22:18.519
 new

00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:19.059
 spirit,

00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:20.339
 referencing

00:22:20.339 --> 00:22:20.579
 the

00:22:20.579 --> 00:22:20.799
 Holy

00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:21.180
 Spirit

00:22:21.180 --> 00:22:21.559
 who's

00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:22.180
 given.

00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:23.880
 So,

00:22:23.940 --> 00:22:24.099
 I think

00:22:24.099 --> 00:22:24.319
 it is

00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:24.839
 clear then

00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:25.059
 that

00:22:25.059 --> 00:22:25.420
 Matthew

00:22:25.420 --> 00:22:26.380
 3-16

00:22:26.380 --> 00:22:26.980
 is

00:22:26.980 --> 00:22:27.559
 presenting

00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:27.880
 the

00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:28.440
 baptism

00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:29.680
 as

00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:29.819
 a

00:22:29.819 --> 00:22:30.279
 new

00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:31.259
 creation

00:22:31.259 --> 00:22:32.700
 act.

00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:33.019
 This

00:22:33.019 --> 00:22:33.240
 is the

00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:33.620
 beginning

00:22:33.620 --> 00:22:34.420
 of the

00:22:34.420 --> 00:22:34.720
 new.

00:22:36.059 --> 00:22:36.279
 And

00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:36.519
 one

00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:36.940
 major

00:22:36.940 --> 00:22:37.420
 implication

00:22:37.420 --> 00:22:38.039
 of these

00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:38.539
 truths

00:22:38.539 --> 00:22:38.920
 that I've

00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:39.180
 just

00:22:39.180 --> 00:22:40.340
 expounded

00:22:40.340 --> 00:22:40.840
 is that

00:22:40.840 --> 00:22:41.539
 we

00:22:41.539 --> 00:22:42.080
 Baptists

00:22:42.080 --> 00:22:42.480
 got it

00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:42.779
 right.

00:22:44.539 --> 00:22:45.060
 Baptism

00:22:45.060 --> 00:22:45.600
 is only

00:22:45.600 --> 00:22:46.220
 for those

00:22:46.220 --> 00:22:46.640
 who are

00:22:46.640 --> 00:22:47.380
 actually

00:22:47.380 --> 00:22:47.660
 in

00:22:47.660 --> 00:22:48.180
 Christ.

00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:50.480
 I love

00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:50.600
 our

00:22:50.600 --> 00:22:50.840
 Paedo

00:22:50.840 --> 00:22:51.180
 Baptist

00:22:51.180 --> 00:22:51.539
 brothers

00:22:51.539 --> 00:22:51.779
 and

00:22:51.779 --> 00:22:52.220
 sisters,

00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:53.560
 but they're

00:22:53.560 --> 00:22:54.160
 just wrong

00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:54.680
 about this

00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:54.900
 one.

00:22:56.620 --> 00:22:56.980
 Just

00:22:56.980 --> 00:22:57.420
 try and

00:22:57.420 --> 00:22:57.779
 find a

00:22:57.779 --> 00:22:58.180
 passage

00:22:58.180 --> 00:22:58.440
 where

00:22:58.440 --> 00:22:58.799
 someone

00:22:58.799 --> 00:22:59.019
 is

00:22:59.019 --> 00:22:59.380
 depicted

00:22:59.380 --> 00:22:59.660
 as

00:22:59.660 --> 00:22:59.920
 new

00:22:59.920 --> 00:23:00.480
 creation

00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:01.000
 who

00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:01.140
 is

00:23:01.140 --> 00:23:01.340
 not

00:23:01.340 --> 00:23:01.700
 also

00:23:01.700 --> 00:23:02.340
 saved

00:23:02.340 --> 00:23:03.200
 and

00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:03.680
 elect.

00:23:04.840 --> 00:23:05.420
 Right?

00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:05.600
 You

00:23:05.600 --> 00:23:06.259
 won't.

00:23:06.259 --> 00:23:07.379
 So

00:23:07.379 --> 00:23:07.680
 why

00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:07.879
 would

00:23:07.879 --> 00:23:08.019
 we

00:23:08.019 --> 00:23:08.539
 baptize

00:23:08.539 --> 00:23:09.180
 persons

00:23:09.180 --> 00:23:09.839
 signifying

00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:10.200
 they are

00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:10.599
 of the

00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:10.759
 new

00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:11.240
 creation

00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:12.559
 when

00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:12.960
 in fact

00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:13.259
 we have

00:23:13.259 --> 00:23:14.039
 no idea

00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:14.460
 and believe

00:23:14.460 --> 00:23:15.019
 it possible

00:23:15.019 --> 00:23:15.519
 for them

00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:16.019
 to not

00:23:16.019 --> 00:23:16.539
 be

00:23:16.539 --> 00:23:17.240
 elect

00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:17.900
 a new

00:23:17.900 --> 00:23:18.759
 creation?

00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:19.460
 It just

00:23:19.460 --> 00:23:20.539
 doesn't

00:23:20.539 --> 00:23:20.839
 really

00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:21.379
 compute

00:23:21.379 --> 00:23:22.000
 with the

00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:22.319
 Bible.

00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:24.640
 So

00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:24.980
 baptism

00:23:24.980 --> 00:23:25.339
 is for

00:23:25.339 --> 00:23:25.579
 those

00:23:25.579 --> 00:23:26.180
 publicly

00:23:26.180 --> 00:23:26.900
 recognizing

00:23:26.900 --> 00:23:27.579
 they are

00:23:27.579 --> 00:23:28.160
 in

00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:28.960
 Christ

00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:29.259
 within

00:23:29.259 --> 00:23:29.740
 the

00:23:29.740 --> 00:23:30.200
 context

00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:30.700
 of a

00:23:30.700 --> 00:23:30.960
 local

00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:31.440
 church

00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:32.600
 that

00:23:32.600 --> 00:23:33.200
 shares

00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:33.920
 that

00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:34.380
 assessment.

00:23:36.340 --> 00:23:36.420
 And

00:23:36.420 --> 00:23:36.580
 this

00:23:36.580 --> 00:23:36.840
 is why

00:23:36.840 --> 00:23:36.980
 the

00:23:36.980 --> 00:23:37.240
 elders

00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:37.460
 when

00:23:37.460 --> 00:23:37.620
 they

00:23:37.620 --> 00:23:38.059
 baptize

00:23:38.059 --> 00:23:38.340
 someone

00:23:38.340 --> 00:23:38.640
 here

00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:39.120
 say

00:23:39.120 --> 00:23:40.580
 John

00:23:40.580 --> 00:23:41.000
 Doe

00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:41.779
 having

00:23:41.779 --> 00:23:42.120
 made a

00:23:42.120 --> 00:23:42.340
 credible

00:23:42.340 --> 00:23:42.820
 profession

00:23:42.820 --> 00:23:43.000
 of

00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:43.279
 faith

00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:43.740
 we

00:23:43.740 --> 00:23:44.460
 baptize

00:23:44.460 --> 00:23:44.700
 you

00:23:44.700 --> 00:23:45.120
 in

00:23:45.120 --> 00:23:45.240
 the

00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:45.460
 name

00:23:45.460 --> 00:23:45.580
 of

00:23:45.580 --> 00:23:45.700
 the

00:23:45.700 --> 00:23:46.019
 Father

00:23:46.019 --> 00:23:46.340
 the

00:23:46.340 --> 00:23:46.620
 Son

00:23:46.620 --> 00:23:47.220
 and

00:23:47.220 --> 00:23:47.320
 the

00:23:47.320 --> 00:23:47.460
 Holy

00:23:47.460 --> 00:23:47.779
 Spirit

00:23:47.779 --> 00:23:48.120
 you

00:23:48.120 --> 00:23:48.279
 have

00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:48.440
 been

00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:48.779
 buried

00:23:48.779 --> 00:23:49.019
 with

00:23:49.019 --> 00:23:49.400
 Christ

00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:50.000
 in

00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:50.460
 baptism

00:23:50.460 --> 00:23:51.380
 and

00:23:51.380 --> 00:23:51.700
 raised

00:23:51.700 --> 00:23:51.880
 to

00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:52.140
 walk

00:23:52.140 --> 00:23:52.480
 in

00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:52.660
 the

00:23:52.660 --> 00:23:53.180
 newness

00:23:53.180 --> 00:23:53.580
 of

00:23:53.580 --> 00:23:54.000
 life

00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:54.480
 coming

00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:54.680
 from

00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:54.920
 Romans

00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:55.200
 6

00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:55.539
 4

00:23:55.539 --> 00:23:56.200
 new

00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:56.539
 creation

00:23:56.539 --> 00:23:57.039
 language

00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:58.840
 so

00:23:58.840 --> 00:23:58.980
 we'll

00:23:58.980 --> 00:23:59.259
 come back

00:23:59.259 --> 00:23:59.480
 to this

00:23:59.480 --> 00:23:59.680
 in our

00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:00.100
 application

00:24:00.100 --> 00:24:00.400
 but I

00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:02.140
 hear now

00:24:02.140 --> 00:24:02.620
 why this

00:24:02.620 --> 00:24:03.019
 new

00:24:03.019 --> 00:24:03.420
 creation

00:24:03.420 --> 00:24:03.740
 thread

00:24:03.740 --> 00:24:04.220
 is on

00:24:04.220 --> 00:24:04.340
 your

00:24:04.340 --> 00:24:04.640
 minds

00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:04.840
 because

00:24:04.840 --> 00:24:05.039
 it is

00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:05.200
 hard

00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:05.320
 to

00:24:05.320 --> 00:24:05.519
 follow

00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:06.200
 so

00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:06.279
 I

00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:06.400
 wanted

00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:06.519
 to

00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:06.700
 mention

00:24:06.700 --> 00:24:07.019
 that

00:24:07.019 --> 00:24:08.220
 now

00:24:08.220 --> 00:24:10.299
 so

00:24:10.299 --> 00:24:10.539
 Jesus

00:24:10.539 --> 00:24:10.900
 is going

00:24:10.900 --> 00:24:11.059
 to

00:24:11.059 --> 00:24:11.380
 suffer

00:24:11.380 --> 00:24:11.600
 he's

00:24:11.600 --> 00:24:11.720
 going

00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:11.840
 to

00:24:11.840 --> 00:24:12.100
 bring

00:24:12.100 --> 00:24:12.500
 peace

00:24:12.500 --> 00:24:12.680
 he's

00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:12.759
 going

00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:12.840
 to

00:24:12.840 --> 00:24:13.019
 bring

00:24:13.019 --> 00:24:13.240
 about

00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:13.460
 this

00:24:13.460 --> 00:24:13.680
 new

00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:14.059
 creation

00:24:14.059 --> 00:24:14.460
 through

00:24:14.460 --> 00:24:14.740
 the

00:30:36.980 --> 00:30:37.259
 they

00:30:37.259 --> 00:30:37.460
 shall

00:30:37.460 --> 00:30:37.620
 be

00:30:37.620 --> 00:30:37.980
 called

00:30:37.980 --> 00:30:38.519
 sons

00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:38.920
 of

00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:39.440
 God

00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:41.319
 bring

00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:41.920
 peace

00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:42.099
 to

00:30:42.099 --> 00:30:42.240
 the

00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:42.880
 relationships

00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:43.460
 and

00:30:43.460 --> 00:30:44.220
 situations

00:30:44.220 --> 00:30:45.120
 within

00:30:45.120 --> 00:30:45.940
 your

00:30:45.940 --> 00:30:46.420
 spheres

00:30:46.420 --> 00:30:46.759
 right

00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:46.920
 in

00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:47.160
 some

00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:47.579
 cases

00:30:47.579 --> 00:30:47.900
 that

00:30:47.900 --> 00:30:48.120
 might

00:30:48.120 --> 00:30:48.319
 mean

00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:48.519
 for

00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:48.700
 you

00:30:48.700 --> 00:30:49.000
 that

00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:50.079
 you

00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:50.220
 need

00:30:50.220 --> 00:30:50.360
 to

00:30:50.360 --> 00:30:50.500
 seek

00:30:50.500 --> 00:30:50.880
 forgiveness

00:30:50.880 --> 00:30:51.279
 maybe

00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:51.519
 you

00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:52.079
 wronged

00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:52.400
 someone

00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:52.660
 and

00:30:52.660 --> 00:30:52.779
 you

00:30:52.779 --> 00:30:53.000
 know

00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:53.279
 it

00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:55.099
 maybe

00:30:55.099 --> 00:30:55.339
 you

00:30:55.339 --> 00:30:55.559
 need

00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:55.720
 to

00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:55.980
 be

00:30:55.980 --> 00:30:56.440
 forgiving

00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:57.099
 someone's

00:30:57.099 --> 00:30:57.500
 wronged

00:30:57.500 --> 00:30:57.700
 you

00:30:57.700 --> 00:30:58.000
 and

00:30:58.000 --> 00:30:58.180
 you're

00:30:58.180 --> 00:30:58.400
 not

00:30:58.400 --> 00:30:58.680
 letting

00:30:58.680 --> 00:30:58.859
 it

00:30:58.859 --> 00:30:59.140
 go

00:30:59.140 --> 00:30:59.339
 you

00:30:59.339 --> 00:30:59.519
 need

00:30:59.519 --> 00:30:59.700
 to

00:30:59.700 --> 00:31:00.019
 forgive

00:31:00.019 --> 00:31:01.400
 that

00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:01.880
 person

00:31:01.880 --> 00:31:02.740
 initiate

00:31:02.740 --> 00:31:03.700
 reconciliation

00:31:03.700 --> 00:31:04.359
 bring

00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:05.119
 peace

00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:07.119
 it

00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:07.279
 may

00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:07.660
 require

00:31:07.660 --> 00:31:07.880
 that

00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:08.019
 you

00:31:08.019 --> 00:31:08.380
 hold

00:31:08.380 --> 00:31:08.559
 your

00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:09.000
 tongue

00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:09.220
 and

00:31:09.220 --> 00:31:10.460
 impatiently

00:31:10.460 --> 00:31:11.140
 endure

00:31:11.140 --> 00:31:12.559
 wrongdoing

00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:13.700
 right

00:31:13.700 --> 00:31:13.960
 you might

00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:14.359
 not be

00:31:14.359 --> 00:31:14.619
 able to

00:31:14.619 --> 00:31:14.920
 bring

00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:15.220
 about

00:31:15.220 --> 00:31:15.839
 reconciliation

00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:16.440
 in every

00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:17.079
 situation

00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:18.759
 but so

00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:19.119
 far as

00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:19.500
 it depends

00:31:19.500 --> 00:31:19.859
 on you

00:31:19.859 --> 00:31:20.220
 bring

00:31:20.220 --> 00:31:21.200
 peace

00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:21.640
 be a

00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:23.299
 peacemaker

00:31:23.299 --> 00:31:25.460
 and you

00:31:25.460 --> 00:31:25.700
 will be

00:31:25.700 --> 00:31:25.980
 called

00:31:25.980 --> 00:31:26.180
 a

00:31:26.180 --> 00:31:26.500
 son

00:31:26.500 --> 00:31:27.220
 of

00:31:27.220 --> 00:31:27.579
 God

00:31:27.579 --> 00:31:29.740
 and

00:31:29.740 --> 00:31:30.200
 lastly

00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:30.740
 delight

00:31:30.740 --> 00:31:31.480
 yourself

00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:32.359
 in

00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:32.720
 Jesus

00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:34.379
 my

00:31:34.379 --> 00:31:34.659
 mom

00:31:34.659 --> 00:31:35.119
 called

00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:35.259
 me

00:31:35.259 --> 00:31:35.519
 picky

00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:35.859
 growing

00:31:35.859 --> 00:31:36.159
 up

00:31:36.159 --> 00:31:36.879
 I

00:31:36.879 --> 00:31:37.259
 prefer

00:31:37.259 --> 00:31:37.919
 that

00:31:37.919 --> 00:31:38.019
 I

00:31:38.019 --> 00:31:38.240
 have

00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:38.440
 a

00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:40.940
 complicated

00:31:40.940 --> 00:31:41.240
 pal

00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:44.159
 I

00:31:44.159 --> 00:31:44.359
 used

00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:44.599
 to think

00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:44.940
 I was

00:31:44.940 --> 00:31:45.180
 picky

00:31:45.180 --> 00:31:45.559
 but I've

00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:46.059
 realized

00:31:46.059 --> 00:31:46.599
 if I'm

00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:46.799
 with

00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:47.139
 someone

00:31:47.139 --> 00:31:47.659
 who knows

00:31:47.659 --> 00:31:47.960
 food

00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:48.379
 well

00:31:48.379 --> 00:31:48.779
 which I

00:31:48.779 --> 00:31:49.220
 don't

00:31:49.220 --> 00:31:49.659
 I can't

00:31:49.659 --> 00:31:49.859
 make

00:31:49.859 --> 00:31:50.200
 Kraft

00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:50.899
 macaroni

00:31:50.900 --> 00:31:52.000
 but if I'm

00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:52.560
 with somebody

00:31:52.560 --> 00:31:52.940
 who knows

00:31:52.940 --> 00:31:53.180
 food

00:31:53.180 --> 00:31:53.600
 well

00:31:53.600 --> 00:31:53.840
 their

00:31:53.840 --> 00:31:54.320
 opinion

00:31:54.320 --> 00:31:54.580
 is

00:31:54.580 --> 00:31:55.100
 usually

00:31:55.100 --> 00:31:55.580
 right

00:31:55.580 --> 00:31:56.100
 and so

00:31:56.100 --> 00:31:56.800
 I've

00:31:56.800 --> 00:31:57.040
 become

00:31:57.040 --> 00:31:57.340
 that

00:31:57.340 --> 00:31:57.820
 guy

00:31:57.820 --> 00:31:58.320
 at

00:31:58.320 --> 00:31:58.940
 restaurants

00:31:58.940 --> 00:31:59.140
 who

00:31:59.140 --> 00:31:59.360
 always

00:31:59.360 --> 00:31:59.620
 asks

00:31:59.620 --> 00:31:59.800
 the

00:31:59.800 --> 00:32:00.100
 waiter

00:32:00.100 --> 00:32:00.560
 what do

00:32:00.560 --> 00:32:00.620
 you

00:32:00.620 --> 00:32:00.900
 recommend

00:32:00.900 --> 00:32:02.180
 you know

00:32:02.180 --> 00:32:02.380
 it doesn't

00:32:02.380 --> 00:32:02.600
 mean I'm

00:32:02.600 --> 00:32:02.720
 going to

00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:03.019
 go with

00:32:03.019 --> 00:32:03.160
 it

00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:03.480
 but

00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:04.680
 generally

00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:05.200
 I do

00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:07.320
 and I

00:32:07.320 --> 00:32:07.620
 do this

00:32:07.620 --> 00:32:07.920
 because I

00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:08.200
 know I

00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:08.560
 don't

00:32:08.560 --> 00:32:09.140
 understand

00:32:09.140 --> 00:32:09.500
 food

00:32:09.500 --> 00:32:09.780
 I don't

00:32:09.780 --> 00:32:10.100
 really

00:32:10.100 --> 00:32:10.300
 know

00:32:10.300 --> 00:32:10.560
 what's

00:32:10.560 --> 00:32:10.780
 good

00:32:10.780 --> 00:32:10.980
 for

00:32:10.980 --> 00:32:11.120
 me

00:32:11.120 --> 00:32:11.259
 I

00:32:11.259 --> 00:32:11.480
 wouldn't

00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:11.880
 try

00:32:11.880 --> 00:32:12.540
 things

00:32:12.540 --> 00:32:14.280
 without

00:32:14.280 --> 00:32:14.680
 somebody

00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:15.060
 telling

00:32:15.060 --> 00:32:15.220
 me

00:32:15.220 --> 00:32:15.460
 that I

00:32:15.460 --> 00:32:15.940
 trust

00:32:15.940 --> 00:32:16.259
 this is

00:32:16.259 --> 00:32:16.600
 really

00:32:16.600 --> 00:32:17.040
 good

00:32:17.040 --> 00:32:18.880
 and because

00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:19.120
 of this

00:32:19.120 --> 00:32:19.460
 practice

00:32:19.460 --> 00:32:19.720
 I've

00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:19.900
 learned

00:32:19.900 --> 00:32:20.240
 to love

00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:20.500
 a lot

00:32:20.500 --> 00:32:21.059
 of dishes

00:32:21.059 --> 00:32:21.759
 and food

00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:22.039
 items

00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:22.460
 I never

00:32:22.460 --> 00:32:22.680
 would have

00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:22.900
 tried

00:32:22.900 --> 00:32:23.140
 on my

00:32:23.140 --> 00:32:23.319
 own

00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:23.539
 like

00:32:23.539 --> 00:32:23.960
 shrimp

00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:24.700
 I don't

00:32:24.700 --> 00:32:25.059
 know why

00:32:25.059 --> 00:32:25.319
 it just

00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:26.120
 looked gross

00:32:26.120 --> 00:32:26.539
 when now

00:32:26.539 --> 00:32:26.920
 it's like

00:32:26.920 --> 00:32:27.180
 one of my

00:32:27.180 --> 00:32:27.400
 favorite

00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:27.799
 things

00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:29.640
 so if

00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:29.880
 that is

00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:30.519
 all true

00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:32.059
 how much

00:32:32.059 --> 00:32:32.700
 more so

00:32:32.700 --> 00:32:32.980
 is it

00:32:32.980 --> 00:32:33.299
 true

00:32:33.299 --> 00:32:33.660
 that we

00:32:33.660 --> 00:32:33.840
 should

00:32:33.840 --> 00:32:34.400
 embrace

00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:34.660
 what

00:32:34.660 --> 00:32:35.180
 God

00:32:35.180 --> 00:32:36.600
 delights

00:32:36.600 --> 00:32:36.840
 in

00:32:36.840 --> 00:32:39.500
 I

00:32:39.500 --> 00:32:39.779
 honestly

00:32:39.779 --> 00:32:40.059
 don't

00:32:40.059 --> 00:32:40.539
 understand

00:32:40.539 --> 00:32:40.720
 it

00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:41.120
 in one

00:32:41.120 --> 00:32:41.579
 sense

00:32:41.579 --> 00:32:43.079
 like a
