00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.639
 You might like to keep that passage open.

00:00:05.540 --> 00:00:07.379
 Sure, that's probably the habit of many of you.

00:00:08.140 --> 00:00:09.880
 I'm going to pray for us before we begin.

00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:13.120
 I'm going to ask God that he might help us as we get into his word.

00:00:13.179 --> 00:00:15.259
 He might open our hearts, that he might open our ears,

00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:16.480
 he might open his word to us.

00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:17.800
 So please pray with me.

00:00:21.740 --> 00:00:24.820
 Our Father, your word has so many great things for us to hear,

00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:28.199
 but my mouth is unworthy to speak of them

00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:30.160
 and our ears are unworthy to hear them.

00:00:30.859 --> 00:00:33.579
 So Lord, when we come here tonight and we open up your word,

00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:35.719
 we need your grace.

00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:38.259
 We need your generosity to us

00:00:38.259 --> 00:00:43.019
 to be a God who gives to people who don't deserve.

00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:45.700
 Lord, please do that tonight amongst us.

00:00:45.700 --> 00:00:48.539
 And we thank you so much for the assurance of your grace

00:00:48.539 --> 00:00:50.799
 that we've seen in your son Jesus,

00:00:51.239 --> 00:00:53.079
 giving not only his words,

00:00:53.859 --> 00:00:57.039
 but his life for people who didn't deserve it.

00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:58.979
 Lord, please be with us tonight.

00:00:59.100 --> 00:01:00.839
 I pray that you might help me to speak words,

00:01:00.979 --> 00:01:04.680
 only words that are true and helpful and glorifying to you.

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.640
 And Lord, we pray all of this in the name of your son.

00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:08.400
 Amen.

00:01:10.019 --> 00:01:11.980
 Now, we just got married, as you heard before,

00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:13.519
 three months ago to the day,

00:01:13.579 --> 00:01:14.980
 which is very exciting for us.

00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.000
 We're living in Kate's parents' granny flat

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:20.200
 until the end of the year,

00:01:20.259 --> 00:01:22.180
 which is an interesting place to live.

00:01:22.180 --> 00:01:24.840
 Now, occasionally, Kate's parents go away.

00:01:25.020 --> 00:01:27.700
 They do some stuff in Queensland,

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:28.980
 and they're away right now,

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.640
 which means that we can kind of take charge of the entire house,

00:01:32.700 --> 00:01:33.740
 which is really quite exciting.

00:01:33.820 --> 00:01:35.820
 We get to rein the whole property.

00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:39.860
 So we like to invade the upstairs of their house

00:01:39.860 --> 00:01:40.760
 when they go away,

00:01:40.860 --> 00:01:44.280
 and when we're on college holidays and stuff like that,

00:01:44.340 --> 00:01:47.100
 and set up a fortress at their dining table.

00:01:47.099 --> 00:01:49.339
 And we do really exciting and fun stuff there,

00:01:49.479 --> 00:01:50.699
 like study.

00:01:51.459 --> 00:01:52.539
 So we set up.

00:01:52.839 --> 00:01:54.839
 And this dining room is really cool

00:01:54.839 --> 00:01:55.879
 because you can kind of see

00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:58.339
 all the way to the back fence of the backyard.

00:01:58.519 --> 00:01:59.399
 You can see the driveway,

00:01:59.679 --> 00:02:01.679
 and then you can see the side fence as well.

00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:04.459
 So one day, a couple of weeks ago, actually,

00:02:04.500 --> 00:02:07.399
 we're sitting there, we're studying, working really hard,

00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:09.819
 and Kate looks up from the book that she's reading

00:02:09.819 --> 00:02:13.539
 to see a guy about 15 years old.

00:02:13.539 --> 00:02:15.900
 And he's walked up the vacant block,

00:02:15.979 --> 00:02:17.719
 up the hill in the vacant block next door,

00:02:17.900 --> 00:02:19.819
 and he's jumped over our fence.

00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:21.180
 He's kind of climbed over the fence

00:02:21.180 --> 00:02:23.139
 into our little carport area,

00:02:23.299 --> 00:02:25.019
 and he's kind of scooted up the driveway.

00:02:25.659 --> 00:02:26.299
 And Kate said,

00:02:27.659 --> 00:02:29.899
 there's a guy climbing over our fence

00:02:29.899 --> 00:02:31.019
 and going up our driveway.

00:02:31.099 --> 00:02:32.939
 And I was like, okay.

00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:33.719
 And Kate was like,

00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:34.739
 now you've got to understand,

00:02:34.859 --> 00:02:39.019
 Kate is the sweetest, loveliest, gentlest,

00:02:39.579 --> 00:02:41.840
 most patient and understanding girl ever.

00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:43.379
 And Kate sees this guy,

00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:43.860
 and she's like,

00:02:44.460 --> 00:02:45.400
 that's it.

00:02:45.700 --> 00:02:48.259
 I'm declaring war on teenagers everywhere.

00:02:48.620 --> 00:02:51.039
 And so she calls up her dad,

00:02:51.099 --> 00:02:51.560
 and she says,

00:02:51.620 --> 00:02:53.360
 we need to get the fence built higher

00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:54.980
 because there's 14-year-old kids

00:02:54.980 --> 00:02:56.819
 climbing over a fence onto our property.

00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:58.300
 They have no right to do this.

00:02:58.500 --> 00:02:59.400
 Who do they think they are?

00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:00.199
 This is our property.

00:03:00.500 --> 00:03:01.500
 And so I'm kind of thinking,

00:03:01.620 --> 00:03:02.020
 well, you know,

00:03:02.580 --> 00:03:04.539
 I'm sure this kid has good reasons.

00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:06.140
 He might have a long walk to get around.

00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:06.439
 And Kate said,

00:03:06.539 --> 00:03:08.300
 I don't care how far he has to walk.

00:03:08.420 --> 00:03:10.140
 He can't go on our property whatsoever.

00:03:10.139 --> 00:03:11.500
 And then as we kind of,

00:03:11.579 --> 00:03:12.439
 we calm down,

00:03:12.859 --> 00:03:14.019
 Kate picks up a book again

00:03:14.019 --> 00:03:16.539
 and goes back to writing her talk

00:03:16.539 --> 00:03:18.519
 on Matthew 5, 7.

00:03:19.059 --> 00:03:20.679
 Blessed are the merciful.

00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:22.199
 And then we both thought,

00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:23.839
 oh.

00:03:24.979 --> 00:03:27.000
 Now, I think I've actually misrepresented Kate.

00:03:27.079 --> 00:03:28.779
 I don't think she was as angry as that.

00:03:28.859 --> 00:03:29.159
 But I mean,

00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:30.359
 it makes for a good story.

00:03:31.419 --> 00:03:32.919
 Now, I haven't lived in the neighborhood

00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:33.579
 for very long.

00:03:33.679 --> 00:03:34.659
 I've lived there for three months.

00:03:34.659 --> 00:03:36.219
 I don't know who the people

00:03:36.219 --> 00:03:37.539
 who live on the street are yet.

00:03:37.579 --> 00:03:39.219
 I don't know who my neighbors are.

00:03:40.020 --> 00:03:42.199
 If it was the next door neighbor's kid

00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:42.840
 jumping the fence,

00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:43.539
 I'd be fine with that.

00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:45.719
 Because I grew up playing backyard cricket,

00:03:46.079 --> 00:03:48.079
 constantly hitting sixes and outs

00:03:48.079 --> 00:03:49.319
 over the next door neighbor's fence

00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:50.219
 and having to climb the fence

00:03:50.219 --> 00:03:51.039
 and go next door.

00:03:51.180 --> 00:03:52.740
 I understand what it's like

00:03:52.740 --> 00:03:53.859
 to be a kid in the neighborhood

00:03:53.859 --> 00:03:55.120
 chasing his tennis balls

00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:56.419
 around everyone's house.

00:03:56.659 --> 00:03:58.039
 Now, if it was the next door neighbor's kid

00:03:58.039 --> 00:03:58.740
 chasing his ball,

00:03:58.939 --> 00:03:59.719
 I'd be fine.

00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.560
 If they live near me,

00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:04.680
 it's fine.

00:04:05.780 --> 00:04:07.139
 But if they don't,

00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:09.180
 well, what are they doing

00:04:09.180 --> 00:04:12.079
 on my parents' property?

00:04:12.620 --> 00:04:14.139
 Now, where do you draw the line?

00:04:14.659 --> 00:04:15.939
 Where do you draw the line?

00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:18.420
 And as a Christian,

00:04:18.819 --> 00:04:21.120
 who do I have to be nice to

00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:23.959
 and who can I just forget about?

00:04:24.779 --> 00:04:25.759
 Where do you draw the line there?

00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:26.939
 Do I have to look after

00:04:26.939 --> 00:04:28.500
 every beggar that I see?

00:04:28.500 --> 00:04:30.939
 Do I have to soothe every baby

00:04:30.939 --> 00:04:32.420
 that I hear crying?

00:04:32.699 --> 00:04:35.519
 Do I have to pay every window cleaner

00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:37.019
 that I kind of pull up next to?

00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:38.480
 Where do you draw the line?

00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:41.220
 How close does a person

00:04:41.220 --> 00:04:42.660
 have to be to you

00:04:42.660 --> 00:04:46.759
 for you to be compassionate towards them?

00:04:48.740 --> 00:04:50.319
 So I guess what I'm still trying

00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:51.459
 to figure out on my street

00:04:51.459 --> 00:04:52.839
 and I guess more existentially

00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:54.339
 in my life is

00:04:54.339 --> 00:04:56.839
 who is my neighbor?

00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.359
 We know that question, don't we?

00:05:00.039 --> 00:05:02.599
 But exactly who is my neighbor?

00:05:02.979 --> 00:05:04.000
 Well, a man asked Jesus

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:05.239
 the exact same question

00:05:05.239 --> 00:05:06.899
 in the passage that we just read.

00:05:07.239 --> 00:05:08.639
 And it's an important question.

00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:10.439
 It's important because it's asked

00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.019
 in the context of life and death,

00:05:13.379 --> 00:05:14.279
 heaven or hell.

00:05:14.899 --> 00:05:18.000
 Who inherits eternal life

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:18.899
 and who doesn't?

00:05:19.299 --> 00:05:20.699
 It's an important question.

00:05:21.179 --> 00:05:23.539
 Who exactly is my neighbor?

00:05:23.540 --> 00:05:27.400
 Now there's a bit of a background clash

00:05:27.400 --> 00:05:29.080
 to the parable that Jesus tells you.

00:05:29.180 --> 00:05:30.480
 So if you look in verse 25

00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:31.260
 in your Bibles there,

00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:33.000
 there's an expert in the law,

00:05:33.300 --> 00:05:35.060
 a lawyer who comes up to Jesus

00:05:35.060 --> 00:05:35.480
 and he says,

00:05:35.580 --> 00:05:36.520
 what must I do

00:05:36.520 --> 00:05:37.980
 to inherit eternal life?

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:38.900
 And it's a good question.

00:05:39.300 --> 00:05:40.460
 But the problem is,

00:05:41.259 --> 00:05:43.180
 he's trying to test Jesus.

00:05:43.780 --> 00:05:44.439
 Straight off,

00:05:44.520 --> 00:05:45.780
 we're dealing with a guy here

00:05:45.780 --> 00:05:47.780
 who doesn't really honestly

00:05:47.780 --> 00:05:48.680
 ask this question.

00:05:48.780 --> 00:05:51.000
 He just wants to satisfy himself

00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:52.600
 and prove himself to be right

00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:53.860
 in his own position.

00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.000
 And Jesus sees straight through that.

00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:57.199
 And he basically says,

00:05:57.259 --> 00:05:57.860
 okay, lawyer,

00:05:57.860 --> 00:05:59.040
 let's play your game.

00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:02.220
 What's written in the law

00:06:02.220 --> 00:06:03.680
 about this kind of thing?

00:06:04.220 --> 00:06:05.699
 And so the lawyer's response,

00:06:05.779 --> 00:06:07.620
 if you look in verse 27,

00:06:07.740 --> 00:06:08.240
 he says,

00:06:08.699 --> 00:06:10.259
 love the Lord your God

00:06:10.259 --> 00:06:11.199
 with all your heart

00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:12.899
 and all of your soul

00:06:12.899 --> 00:06:14.240
 and all of your strength

00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:15.600
 and with all of your mind

00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.920
 and love your neighbor

00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:19.240
 as yourself.

00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:22.500
 And Jesus says,

00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:22.980
 yeah, that's right.

00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:25.120
 If you do this,

00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:26.100
 you will live.

00:06:26.220 --> 00:06:27.160
 Do this and you will live

00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:28.540
 there in verse 28.

00:06:29.139 --> 00:06:29.899
 But you notice

00:06:29.899 --> 00:06:31.100
 that's all he says there.

00:06:32.500 --> 00:06:34.360
 He doesn't give any exceptions.

00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:35.839
 He doesn't say,

00:06:35.939 --> 00:06:36.800
 oh, well, yeah, yeah, yeah,

00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:37.860
 there's all that.

00:06:37.939 --> 00:06:38.620
 But really, you know,

00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:39.339
 if it's a Tuesday

00:06:39.339 --> 00:06:40.899
 and you've had four nights

00:06:40.899 --> 00:06:41.500
 sleep the night before,

00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:42.319
 I'll give you a break.

00:06:42.420 --> 00:06:42.519
 You know,

00:06:42.579 --> 00:06:44.399
 he doesn't leave any wiggle room.

00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:44.839
 He just says,

00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:45.759
 yes, that's it.

00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:47.339
 And so the lawyer

00:06:47.339 --> 00:06:48.259
 gets a little bit nervous.

00:06:48.259 --> 00:06:49.259
 He thinks, well, surely

00:06:49.259 --> 00:06:50.779
 there are people

00:06:50.779 --> 00:06:53.379
 who I don't have to love.

00:06:53.740 --> 00:06:54.680
 Surely there are people

00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:56.360
 who aren't my neighbors.

00:06:56.740 --> 00:06:57.819
 And so you remember

00:06:57.819 --> 00:06:58.339
 that he's trying

00:06:58.339 --> 00:06:59.180
 to test Jesus.

00:06:59.300 --> 00:06:59.939
 Now the shoe's

00:06:59.939 --> 00:07:00.519
 on the other foot.

00:07:00.599 --> 00:07:01.039
 He's the one

00:07:01.039 --> 00:07:01.560
 that looks bad.

00:07:01.819 --> 00:07:03.519
 He wants to justify himself

00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:04.680
 is what Luke says

00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:05.420
 in verse 29.

00:07:06.139 --> 00:07:07.699
 And so he asks Jesus,

00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:09.259
 and just who is

00:07:09.259 --> 00:07:10.819
 my neighbor then, Jesus?

00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:11.980
 If I need to love

00:07:11.980 --> 00:07:12.379
 my neighbor,

00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:13.539
 who is that?

00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:15.779
 Back on you.

00:07:16.239 --> 00:07:17.259
 You've got to do

00:07:17.259 --> 00:07:18.299
 the accusing now.

00:07:19.179 --> 00:07:19.939
 And so Jesus,

00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:20.819
 to answer that question,

00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:21.839
 he tells a story.

00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:23.199
 It's a famous story.

00:07:23.379 --> 00:07:24.219
 We know it really well.

00:07:24.459 --> 00:07:25.979
 It's enshrined in,

00:07:26.579 --> 00:07:27.419
 what do you call it?

00:07:27.819 --> 00:07:28.679
 Stained glass window

00:07:28.679 --> 00:07:29.479
 right over here.

00:07:29.539 --> 00:07:30.099
 You can check it out

00:07:30.099 --> 00:07:30.639
 after the service

00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:30.959
 if you like.

00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:31.879
 It's quite a nice window.

00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:33.479
 There you go.

00:07:33.500 --> 00:07:33.979
 It's very colorful.

00:07:34.579 --> 00:07:35.859
 Jesus tells a story

00:07:35.859 --> 00:07:37.139
 about a man

00:07:37.139 --> 00:07:38.119
 who goes down

00:07:38.119 --> 00:07:39.519
 from Jerusalem to Jericho.

00:07:39.599 --> 00:07:40.299
 Now when we say that,

00:07:40.479 --> 00:07:40.979
 Jericho's actually

00:07:40.979 --> 00:07:41.699
 north of Jerusalem,

00:07:41.699 --> 00:07:42.859
 but we're going down

00:07:42.859 --> 00:07:43.659
 because Jerusalem's

00:07:43.659 --> 00:07:44.699
 on a massive mountain.

00:07:44.699 --> 00:07:46.300
 And so they're coming down.

00:07:46.620 --> 00:07:47.939
 Now it's a gnarly road.

00:07:48.060 --> 00:07:49.539
 It's a really rough road

00:07:49.539 --> 00:07:51.139
 that goes from Jerusalem

00:07:51.139 --> 00:07:52.099
 to Jericho.

00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:52.939
 It descends

00:07:52.939 --> 00:07:53.939
 a thousand meters

00:07:53.939 --> 00:07:54.399
 in altitude,

00:07:54.539 --> 00:07:55.539
 a kilometer in altitude,

00:07:56.019 --> 00:07:58.199
 all in about 27 kilometers.

00:07:58.980 --> 00:08:00.120
 And there are bandits

00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:01.539
 hiding in caves everywhere

00:08:01.539 --> 00:08:02.659
 just waiting to come out

00:08:02.659 --> 00:08:03.139
 and get you.

00:08:03.459 --> 00:08:04.360
 Now have you ever been

00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:06.199
 on a road like that?

00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:08.319
 I was on a road

00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:09.459
 similar to that one.

00:08:09.539 --> 00:08:10.639
 So when I was in year 11,

00:08:10.919 --> 00:08:11.919
 I went to South Africa

00:08:11.919 --> 00:08:12.980
 for a couple of weeks.

00:08:12.980 --> 00:08:14.640
 We were going to be picked up

00:08:14.640 --> 00:08:15.360
 by some friends

00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:16.259
 from the airport

00:08:16.259 --> 00:08:17.480
 in Cape Town,

00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:18.840
 but our plane was delayed.

00:08:18.960 --> 00:08:20.319
 We got delayed in Perth

00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:21.900
 by about four or five hours

00:08:21.900 --> 00:08:22.860
 because, well,

00:08:22.960 --> 00:08:23.759
 they never told us

00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:25.120
 why we had to stop in Perth

00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:26.240
 and maybe someone

00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:26.900
 lost the keys

00:08:26.900 --> 00:08:27.740
 to the plane or something.

00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:28.100
 Anyway,

00:08:28.540 --> 00:08:29.180
 we get delayed

00:08:29.180 --> 00:08:30.379
 for hours and hours and hours

00:08:30.379 --> 00:08:31.960
 and we miss our connecting

00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:33.259
 flight in Johannesburg

00:08:33.259 --> 00:08:34.899
 and so we get to Cape Town

00:08:34.899 --> 00:08:36.000
 at midnight.

00:08:36.180 --> 00:08:37.039
 We were supposed to get there

00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:38.180
 while the sun was still up

00:08:38.180 --> 00:08:39.600
 and we're really late.

00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:40.680
 And so we're like,

00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:41.220
 I said to my friend,

00:08:41.220 --> 00:08:41.960
 we've got to get in touch

00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:42.620
 with Scott

00:08:42.620 --> 00:08:43.340
 because he's got to come

00:08:43.340 --> 00:08:43.960
 and pick us up.

00:08:44.160 --> 00:08:44.980
 So I'm looking around

00:08:44.980 --> 00:08:46.160
 everywhere for a pay phone.

00:08:46.340 --> 00:08:47.379
 I find a pay phone

00:08:47.379 --> 00:08:48.259
 and look in my wallet

00:08:48.259 --> 00:08:48.840
 and realise,

00:08:49.040 --> 00:08:50.340
 I don't have any

00:08:50.340 --> 00:08:51.420
 South African money.

00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:52.940
 I just have travellers checks

00:08:52.940 --> 00:08:54.259
 and 25 cents Australian.

00:08:54.460 --> 00:08:55.019
 So there I am trying

00:08:55.019 --> 00:08:56.279
 to ram Australian coins

00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:57.620
 into this South African pay phone

00:08:57.620 --> 00:08:59.460
 when a security guard

00:08:59.460 --> 00:09:00.420
 notices us

00:09:00.420 --> 00:09:01.399
 and our stupidity

00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:02.100
 and he comes over

00:09:02.100 --> 00:09:04.160
 and gives us 25 rand cents

00:09:04.160 --> 00:09:04.700
 or whatever they are.

00:09:05.019 --> 00:09:05.980
 And so we call Scott

00:09:05.980 --> 00:09:06.279
 and we say,

00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:06.639
 Scott,

00:09:06.740 --> 00:09:07.320
 we're at the airport,

00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:08.040
 we're late,

00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:08.720
 you've got to come

00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:09.180
 pick us up.

00:09:09.179 --> 00:09:09.299
 Scott,

00:09:09.819 --> 00:09:10.699
 and so he says,

00:09:10.739 --> 00:09:10.859
 yeah,

00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:11.000
 yeah,

00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:11.139
 okay.

00:09:11.379 --> 00:09:11.859
 And then we hear

00:09:11.859 --> 00:09:12.899
 some talking,

00:09:13.099 --> 00:09:13.959
 some kind of heated

00:09:13.959 --> 00:09:15.319
 discussion in the background

00:09:15.319 --> 00:09:16.939
 and so Scott's kind of

00:09:16.939 --> 00:09:17.879
 talking to his wife

00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:18.519
 about whether or not

00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:19.079
 it's a good idea

00:09:19.079 --> 00:09:19.879
 to come and pick us up

00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:20.500
 at this hour.

00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:21.819
 And I said,

00:09:21.899 --> 00:09:22.099
 Scott,

00:09:22.179 --> 00:09:22.959
 what's going on?

00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:23.500
 And he said,

00:09:23.539 --> 00:09:23.679
 oh,

00:09:23.719 --> 00:09:23.939
 it's alright,

00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:24.179
 it's alright.

00:09:24.439 --> 00:09:24.919
 We're going to come

00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:25.479
 and pick you up.

00:09:25.620 --> 00:09:26.139
 It's just,

00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:26.859
 you know,

00:09:27.139 --> 00:09:27.559
 Hayley and I

00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:28.219
 are a little bit worried

00:09:28.219 --> 00:09:29.120
 because the road

00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:30.099
 from the airport

00:09:30.099 --> 00:09:31.559
 goes through

00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:32.759
 Kailicha.

00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:33.740
 Dun,

00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:33.879
 dun,

00:09:33.959 --> 00:09:34.120
 dun.

00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:35.159
 Now,

00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:35.820
 if you've never

00:09:35.820 --> 00:09:36.539
 heard of Kailicha,

00:09:36.659 --> 00:09:37.379
 Kailicha is like

00:09:37.379 --> 00:09:38.159
 a massive,

00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:39.840
 large parts of it

00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:40.940
 or a massive slum

00:09:40.940 --> 00:09:43.000
 all in this big part

00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:43.940
 of Cape Town.

00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:44.399
 It's got about

00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.379
 2.1 million people

00:09:46.379 --> 00:09:47.440
 living there

00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:48.840
 and it's really,

00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:50.220
 really super dangerous.

00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:50.480
 Now,

00:09:50.580 --> 00:09:51.159
 Cape Town,

00:09:51.299 --> 00:09:52.019
 two months ago

00:09:52.019 --> 00:09:53.000
 in August,

00:09:53.620 --> 00:09:54.480
 Cape Town was rated

00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:56.279
 the fifth deadliest

00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:57.860
 city in the world.

00:09:58.519 --> 00:09:58.659
 Now,

00:09:58.899 --> 00:09:59.759
 the area that we

00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:00.580
 had to drive through

00:10:00.580 --> 00:10:01.740
 to get out of the airport

00:10:01.740 --> 00:10:02.700
 is responsible

00:10:02.700 --> 00:10:04.240
 for 35%

00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:05.620
 of the carjacking

00:10:05.620 --> 00:10:06.980
 in the fifth most

00:10:06.980 --> 00:10:08.000
 deadliest city

00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:09.000
 in the world

00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:10.220
 and that's our road

00:10:10.220 --> 00:10:11.220
 that we're going to go through.

00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:11.639
 Now,

00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:12.159
 picture that.

00:10:12.220 --> 00:10:13.200
 That's our road here.

00:10:13.820 --> 00:10:14.720
 It's a road where people

00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:16.039
 get carjacked

00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:16.680
 and mugged

00:10:16.680 --> 00:10:17.600
 and all that kind of stuff

00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:19.279
 and it happens to this guy

00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:20.019
 who's going down

00:10:20.019 --> 00:10:20.620
 from Jerusalem

00:10:20.620 --> 00:10:21.639
 to Jericho.

00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:23.200
 It says,

00:10:23.620 --> 00:10:24.300
 when he fell into

00:10:24.300 --> 00:10:25.120
 the hands of robbers,

00:10:25.180 --> 00:10:25.980
 they stripped him

00:10:25.980 --> 00:10:26.639
 of his clothes,

00:10:27.019 --> 00:10:27.460
 beat him

00:10:27.460 --> 00:10:28.040
 and went away

00:10:28.040 --> 00:10:29.700
 leaving him half dead.

00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:32.040
 Now,

00:10:32.139 --> 00:10:32.820
 a priest

00:10:32.820 --> 00:10:34.759
 just happens

00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:35.360
 to be going

00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:36.200
 down that road

00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:37.300
 and he sees

00:10:37.300 --> 00:10:37.940
 the beaten man.

00:10:38.019 --> 00:10:38.139
 Now,

00:10:38.500 --> 00:10:39.100
 the priest

00:10:39.100 --> 00:10:39.980
 is like the pillar

00:10:39.980 --> 00:10:41.040
 of religion

00:10:41.040 --> 00:10:42.660
 in Jewish society.

00:10:42.820 --> 00:10:44.080
 He works at the temple

00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:44.700
 in Jerusalem.

00:10:45.019 --> 00:10:45.720
 He's the guy

00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:46.379
 responsible

00:10:46.379 --> 00:10:48.440
 for making sacrifices

00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:50.200
 for your evil deeds

00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.019
 so that you can be okay.

00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:54.500
 He's God's servant

00:10:54.500 --> 00:10:55.300
 in the world

00:10:55.300 --> 00:10:56.519
 and it just so happened

00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:57.420
 that he's going

00:10:57.419 --> 00:10:58.000
 by and you think,

00:10:58.079 --> 00:10:58.240
 oh,

00:10:58.500 --> 00:10:59.860
 he happens upon

00:10:59.860 --> 00:11:00.279
 this man,

00:11:00.319 --> 00:11:00.759
 he's been beaten.

00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:00.979
 You think,

00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:01.319
 oh yeah,

00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:02.139
 help is around

00:11:02.139 --> 00:11:02.939
 the corner

00:11:02.939 --> 00:11:05.759
 and then he just

00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:06.479
 walks past

00:11:06.479 --> 00:11:08.059
 on the other side

00:11:08.059 --> 00:11:08.740
 and then

00:11:08.740 --> 00:11:10.439
 a Levite

00:11:10.439 --> 00:11:11.399
 comes along.

00:11:11.539 --> 00:11:12.139
 A Levite

00:11:12.139 --> 00:11:12.740
 is kind of like

00:11:12.740 --> 00:11:13.639
 the priest's assistant

00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:14.620
 and you kind of think,

00:11:14.699 --> 00:11:15.019
 oh well,

00:11:15.099 --> 00:11:15.240
 you know,

00:11:15.539 --> 00:11:16.459
 snooty priest,

00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:17.379
 high and mighty

00:11:17.379 --> 00:11:18.500
 above all the regular people.

00:11:18.779 --> 00:11:19.379
 The Levite,

00:11:19.439 --> 00:11:20.059
 he's a bit closer

00:11:20.059 --> 00:11:21.000
 to the common man

00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:21.399
 so,

00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:21.599
 you know,

00:11:21.659 --> 00:11:22.620
 he's got his finger

00:11:22.620 --> 00:11:23.039
 on the pulse

00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:23.519
 of the people,

00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:24.240
 he's going to come along,

00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:24.759
 he's going to help

00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:26.639
 and he just walks past.

00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:29.799
 Now,

00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:31.159
 these guys worked

00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:31.700
 in Jerusalem

00:11:31.700 --> 00:11:32.539
 but evidently

00:11:32.539 --> 00:11:33.799
 there were so many

00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:34.620
 priests and Levites

00:11:34.620 --> 00:11:35.060
 at the time

00:11:35.060 --> 00:11:35.700
 that not all of them

00:11:35.700 --> 00:11:36.720
 lived in Jerusalem.

00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:37.500
 They kind of had to

00:11:37.500 --> 00:11:38.580
 commute to Jerusalem.

00:11:38.700 --> 00:11:39.440
 We know what that's like.

00:11:39.779 --> 00:11:40.060
 Now,

00:11:40.340 --> 00:11:40.700
 if you notice,

00:11:40.779 --> 00:11:41.620
 they're coming down

00:11:41.620 --> 00:11:42.299
 from Jerusalem,

00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:43.259
 they're heading away

00:11:43.259 --> 00:11:43.960
 from Jerusalem.

00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:46.159
 They're not going to work

00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:46.919
 and they're not in a hurry,

00:11:46.980 --> 00:11:47.820
 they're going home.

00:11:47.820 --> 00:11:48.900
 There's nothing

00:11:48.900 --> 00:11:50.660
 that they have to

00:11:50.660 --> 00:11:51.940
 worry about

00:11:51.940 --> 00:11:52.980
 being late for.

00:11:53.420 --> 00:11:53.840
 They're just

00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:54.940
 kind of leisurely going

00:11:54.940 --> 00:11:55.820
 on their home

00:11:55.820 --> 00:11:57.180
 after a day's work.

00:11:57.520 --> 00:11:58.100
 They have no,

00:11:58.340 --> 00:11:59.460
 there's no reason

00:11:59.460 --> 00:12:00.700
 given in the text for us

00:12:00.700 --> 00:12:01.460
 that they walked by,

00:12:01.560 --> 00:12:03.160
 they just went

00:12:03.160 --> 00:12:04.660
 without excuse.

00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:08.220
 Now,

00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:09.080
 Jewish society

00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:10.220
 and Australian society

00:12:10.220 --> 00:12:11.980
 are really different

00:12:11.980 --> 00:12:13.440
 in so many ways

00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:13.720
 between

00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:14.840
 first century

00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:15.720
 Jewish society

00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:17.020
 and 21st century

00:12:17.019 --> 00:12:17.899
 Australian society

00:12:17.899 --> 00:12:18.799
 but

00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:20.500
 there is one thing

00:12:20.500 --> 00:12:21.299
 that they have in common

00:12:21.299 --> 00:12:22.399
 which I think is really cool.

00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:23.740
 They love

00:12:23.740 --> 00:12:24.720
 the underdog.

00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:26.019
 We love the underdog.

00:12:26.220 --> 00:12:27.059
 They love the underdog

00:12:27.059 --> 00:12:28.179
 back in the first century

00:12:28.179 --> 00:12:29.439
 in the Jewish world.

00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:30.039
 Now,

00:12:30.779 --> 00:12:31.519
 we love

00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:31.980
 trashing

00:12:31.980 --> 00:12:33.799
 famous people

00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:34.879
 and our leaders

00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:35.659
 and all that kind of stuff.

00:12:35.740 --> 00:12:36.259
 There's just something

00:12:36.259 --> 00:12:37.139
 inherently Australian

00:12:37.139 --> 00:12:37.740
 about that

00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:38.679
 tall poppy syndrome.

00:12:39.439 --> 00:12:40.399
 Every day

00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:42.039
 when the little person

00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:42.740
 triumphs,

00:12:42.819 --> 00:12:43.699
 we celebrate that.

00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:44.279
 Now,

00:12:44.340 --> 00:12:45.059
 it was the same

00:12:45.059 --> 00:12:46.019
 in Jewish society.

00:12:46.019 --> 00:12:47.139
 Apparently,

00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:47.740
 they had this way

00:12:47.740 --> 00:12:48.939
 of telling stories

00:12:48.939 --> 00:12:50.419
 where they'd grab

00:12:50.419 --> 00:12:51.799
 two big time

00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:53.399
 kind of central figures

00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:54.319
 in Jewish society,

00:12:54.439 --> 00:12:55.240
 two big celebrities

00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:56.779
 and they'd tell a story

00:12:56.779 --> 00:12:57.879
 about how those two people

00:12:57.879 --> 00:12:58.620
 fail

00:12:58.620 --> 00:13:00.059
 and then this everyday

00:13:00.059 --> 00:13:01.879
 Jewish guy,

00:13:02.079 --> 00:13:03.240
 kind of your everyday

00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:04.500
 Sam or whatever,

00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:05.819
 he succeeds.

00:13:06.079 --> 00:13:06.220
 So,

00:13:06.340 --> 00:13:07.279
 say you've got a woman

00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:08.000
 who has some kind of

00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:09.159
 problem or dilemma

00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:10.720
 and she can't solve it.

00:13:10.980 --> 00:13:11.139
 Now,

00:13:11.220 --> 00:13:12.620
 the king comes along,

00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:13.240
 fail,

00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:14.460
 he can't solve the problem

00:13:14.460 --> 00:13:16.500
 and a prophet comes along,

00:13:16.620 --> 00:13:17.040
 fail,

00:13:17.139 --> 00:13:18.080
 he can't solve the problem

00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:19.540
 and then your everyday

00:13:19.540 --> 00:13:20.960
 Goldstein guy

00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:21.780
 comes along

00:13:21.780 --> 00:13:23.379
 and he has the problem,

00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:24.340
 he has a solution

00:13:24.340 --> 00:13:24.960
 for the problem.

00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:25.540
 It's amazing.

00:13:25.800 --> 00:13:26.980
 Triumph of the little guy,

00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:27.519
 it's great.

00:13:27.620 --> 00:13:27.700
 Now,

00:13:27.780 --> 00:13:29.940
 that's a typical Jewish way

00:13:29.940 --> 00:13:30.620
 of telling stories.

00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:31.200
 Now,

00:13:31.280 --> 00:13:32.639
 if you've had this priest

00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:33.519
 come past,

00:13:33.660 --> 00:13:34.100
 fail,

00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:35.420
 Levite comes past,

00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:36.040
 he fails,

00:13:36.700 --> 00:13:38.379
 your audience,

00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:39.700
 the Jewish lawyer

00:13:39.700 --> 00:13:40.980
 and all the people

00:13:40.980 --> 00:13:41.379
 around him

00:13:41.379 --> 00:13:41.639
 are thinking,

00:13:41.740 --> 00:13:41.879
 oh,

00:13:41.940 --> 00:13:42.379
 I know this one.

00:13:42.379 --> 00:13:43.980
 This is where an everyday guy

00:13:43.980 --> 00:13:45.179
 like me comes along

00:13:45.179 --> 00:13:46.100
 and saves the day.

00:13:47.340 --> 00:13:47.759
 Now,

00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:49.240
 you can imagine their shock

00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:50.980
 when Jesus bursts

00:13:50.980 --> 00:13:52.220
 that little daydream bubble

00:13:52.220 --> 00:13:53.919
 with the next person

00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:54.519
 who comes along

00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:56.919
 who isn't your Jewish battler.

00:13:58.019 --> 00:13:59.039
 He's a Samaritan.

00:14:00.259 --> 00:14:00.439
 Now,

00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:01.439
 you've got to realise,

00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:04.039
 Jews and Samaritans

00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:04.899
 aren't the best of friends.

00:14:05.019 --> 00:14:05.659
 Because this parable

00:14:05.659 --> 00:14:06.440
 has been told

00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:07.899
 for 2,000 years,

00:14:08.620 --> 00:14:09.679
 we've kind of come

00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:10.899
 to associate Samaritan

00:14:10.899 --> 00:14:12.179
 with good stuff.

00:14:12.299 --> 00:14:12.360
 You know,

00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:13.139
 we've got the charity

00:14:13.139 --> 00:14:14.179
 Samaritan's Purse.

00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:15.679
 When we hear Samaritan,

00:14:15.899 --> 00:14:17.600
 we think good person.

00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:19.860
 In actual fact,

00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:20.639
 in the first century,

00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:21.500
 Jews and Samaritans

00:14:21.500 --> 00:14:22.220
 hated each other.

00:14:23.220 --> 00:14:23.659
 The Samaritans

00:14:23.659 --> 00:14:25.600
 set up a rival religion

00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:26.639
 to the Jews

00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:27.379
 in Jerusalem

00:14:27.379 --> 00:14:28.720
 and they claim

00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:29.799
 that it's the only true,

00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:30.500
 pure way

00:14:30.500 --> 00:14:31.199
 to worship God.

00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:32.059
 And if you're a Jew,

00:14:32.340 --> 00:14:33.220
 that is a slap

00:14:33.220 --> 00:14:34.220
 in the face

00:14:34.220 --> 00:14:35.220
 in the first century.

00:14:36.220 --> 00:14:36.539
 And so,

00:14:36.620 --> 00:14:37.539
 from the Jewish perspective,

00:14:37.539 --> 00:14:38.079
 they say,

00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:38.399
 no, no, no,

00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:39.100
 we've got the temple,

00:14:39.259 --> 00:14:40.500
 God lives with us.

00:14:40.500 --> 00:14:41.299
 These Samaritans

00:14:41.299 --> 00:14:42.080
 are liars.

00:14:42.460 --> 00:14:43.220
 They're sinful.

00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:44.620
 They're evil.

00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:46.460
 And so,

00:14:46.539 --> 00:14:47.940
 they absolutely hate

00:14:47.940 --> 00:14:49.200
 the Samaritans.

00:14:52.460 --> 00:14:53.539
 And you see that

00:14:53.539 --> 00:14:54.259
 at the end of the story.

00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:54.840
 You get to the point

00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:55.600
 where the lawyer

00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:56.059
 gets to the point

00:14:56.059 --> 00:14:56.580
 where he can't even

00:14:56.580 --> 00:14:57.720
 say the word Samaritan.

00:14:58.720 --> 00:14:59.600
 He has to substitute

00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:01.100
 the one who had mercy.

00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:01.620
 We'll come to that

00:15:01.620 --> 00:15:02.259
 a bit later on.

00:15:03.539 --> 00:15:03.759
 Now,

00:15:03.779 --> 00:15:04.480
 the Samaritan person

00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:05.960
 is the hated one,

00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:07.580
 the distrusted one,

00:15:07.580 --> 00:15:09.060
 the outcast one.

00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:10.860
 Now,

00:15:10.860 --> 00:15:11.740
 who is that

00:15:11.740 --> 00:15:12.920
 when you look at Sydney?

00:15:13.940 --> 00:15:15.480
 Who's that in Sydney?

00:15:16.220 --> 00:15:17.340
 Is that the person

00:15:17.340 --> 00:15:17.759
 with the kind of

00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:18.700
 painted black face

00:15:18.700 --> 00:15:19.220
 on hey-hey?

00:15:19.379 --> 00:15:20.040
 Or is it the person

00:15:20.040 --> 00:15:21.240
 whose colour

00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:21.680
 is a little bit

00:15:21.680 --> 00:15:22.740
 harder to wash off?

00:15:23.340 --> 00:15:25.180
 Is it the sex offender

00:15:25.180 --> 00:15:25.840
 in Sydney?

00:15:26.400 --> 00:15:27.740
 Is it the loud,

00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:28.980
 violent teenager

00:15:28.980 --> 00:15:29.840
 from another country?

00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:31.420
 Who is that in Sydney?

00:15:31.620 --> 00:15:32.740
 The person who is hated,

00:15:33.180 --> 00:15:33.680
 distrusted,

00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:34.759
 and outcast

00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:35.919
 in our society.

00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:37.139
 Plonk that person

00:15:37.139 --> 00:15:37.779
 in your mind

00:15:37.779 --> 00:15:38.500
 in this story.

00:15:39.939 --> 00:15:40.819
 And then look

00:15:40.819 --> 00:15:42.019
 at what this person

00:15:42.019 --> 00:15:43.019
 does.

00:15:43.319 --> 00:15:43.679
 Have a look at

00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:44.500
 verse 33

00:15:44.500 --> 00:15:45.460
 through to 35.

00:15:45.779 --> 00:15:45.899
 Now,

00:15:45.980 --> 00:15:46.480
 I want you to

00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:46.919
 kind of,

00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:48.059
 with your eyes,

00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:48.879
 this might be hard

00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:49.340
 to do unless you've

00:15:49.340 --> 00:15:50.379
 got x-ray vision,

00:15:51.580 --> 00:15:52.480
 just kind of circle

00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:53.200
 with your eyes

00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:53.860
 every time you see

00:15:53.860 --> 00:15:55.240
 a verb in these verses.

00:15:55.439 --> 00:15:55.460
 Now,

00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:56.299
 you remember the verbs

00:15:56.299 --> 00:15:57.080
 from English?

00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:58.019
 They're doing words

00:15:58.019 --> 00:15:59.200
 like go.

00:15:59.539 --> 00:15:59.720
 Now,

00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:00.340
 have a look at this.

00:16:00.379 --> 00:16:01.000
 In verse 33,

00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:01.480
 I'll read it.

00:16:01.500 --> 00:16:02.340
 Have a look for your verbs.

00:16:02.860 --> 00:16:03.539
 But as the Samaritan

00:16:03.539 --> 00:16:04.139
 travelled,

00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:05.980
 but a Samaritan,

00:16:06.100 --> 00:16:06.740
 as he travelled,

00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:08.220
 came where the man was

00:16:08.220 --> 00:16:10.039
 and when he saw him,

00:16:10.460 --> 00:16:11.759
 he took pity on him.

00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:13.740
 He went to him

00:16:13.740 --> 00:16:15.679
 and bandaged his wounds,

00:16:15.819 --> 00:16:17.279
 pouring oil and wine

00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:18.700
 and then,

00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:19.340
 he put the man

00:16:19.340 --> 00:16:20.000
 on his own donkey,

00:16:20.100 --> 00:16:21.399
 he took him to an inn

00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:22.720
 and took care of him.

00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:23.519
 The next day,

00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:24.980
 he took out two silver coins

00:16:24.980 --> 00:16:25.980
 and he gave them

00:16:25.980 --> 00:16:26.720
 to the innkeeper.

00:16:27.019 --> 00:16:27.840
 Look after him,

00:16:27.860 --> 00:16:28.299
 he said.

00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:29.720
 And when I return,

00:16:29.819 --> 00:16:31.639
 I will reimburse you

00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:33.000
 for any extra expense

00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:33.759
 you may have had.

00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:35.059
 You've got the priest

00:16:35.059 --> 00:16:35.779
 and the Levite

00:16:35.779 --> 00:16:37.100
 who just walk past,

00:16:37.419 --> 00:16:38.039
 walk past

00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:39.039
 and that's all they do.

00:16:39.299 --> 00:16:40.319
 But the Samaritan

00:16:40.319 --> 00:16:42.840
 does not stop doing.

00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:44.799
 He just gives

00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:45.980
 and does

00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:47.019
 and cares

00:16:47.019 --> 00:16:48.240
 and pours

00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:49.299
 and looks after

00:16:49.299 --> 00:16:50.299
 and takes

00:16:50.299 --> 00:16:51.460
 and reimburses

00:16:51.460 --> 00:16:52.460
 all the way through there.

00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:54.159
 He doesn't stop.

00:16:54.299 --> 00:16:55.360
 Luke is at pains

00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:56.939
 to draw this out

00:16:56.939 --> 00:16:58.519
 that this guy

00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:00.620
 is an action man.

00:17:00.620 --> 00:17:02.539
 He just keeps going.

00:17:06.460 --> 00:17:07.279
 And you remember,

00:17:07.380 --> 00:17:08.019
 this Samaritan

00:17:08.019 --> 00:17:08.440
 is,

00:17:08.940 --> 00:17:10.259
 in the Jewish mind,

00:17:10.339 --> 00:17:11.140
 the dirtiest,

00:17:11.539 --> 00:17:12.279
 the lowest,

00:17:12.740 --> 00:17:14.319
 the most hated.

00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:17.179
 Now,

00:17:17.220 --> 00:17:18.720
 Jesus asked in verse 36

00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:19.500
 to the lawyer

00:17:19.500 --> 00:17:20.259
 that he's talking to,

00:17:20.399 --> 00:17:21.419
 which of these three

00:17:21.419 --> 00:17:22.099
 do you think was

00:17:22.099 --> 00:17:23.000
 the neighbour?

00:17:24.220 --> 00:17:24.899
 And the lawyer

00:17:24.899 --> 00:17:25.740
 is so disgusted,

00:17:25.879 --> 00:17:26.439
 so unwilling

00:17:26.439 --> 00:17:27.460
 to accept the premise

00:17:27.460 --> 00:17:28.079
 of what Jesus

00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:29.079
 is suggesting here

00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:29.619
 that,

00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:30.220
 as we said,

00:17:30.299 --> 00:17:31.299
 he doesn't even say

00:17:31.299 --> 00:17:31.819
 Samaritan,

00:17:31.939 --> 00:17:32.279
 he just says,

00:17:32.419 --> 00:17:32.439
 oh,

00:17:32.439 --> 00:17:34.379
 the guy who had mercy on him.

00:17:35.980 --> 00:17:36.359
 Now,

00:17:36.399 --> 00:17:36.960
 that's the story.

00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:38.860
 So,

00:17:38.940 --> 00:17:39.380
 what's Jesus

00:17:39.380 --> 00:17:42.559
 telling this lawyer guy?

00:17:43.100 --> 00:17:43.940
 What's he trying

00:17:43.940 --> 00:17:44.840
 to teach here?

00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:45.360
 Well,

00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:46.340
 there are two big questions

00:17:46.340 --> 00:17:47.579
 that we came across in there

00:17:47.579 --> 00:17:49.299
 and there's two big lessons,

00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:50.220
 I think.

00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:51.220
 And the first one

00:17:51.220 --> 00:17:51.900
 isn't the one

00:17:51.900 --> 00:17:52.860
 that jumps out at you

00:17:52.860 --> 00:17:54.720
 the fastest

00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:55.680
 and the most dramatically.

00:17:56.340 --> 00:17:57.420
 It wasn't the first one

00:17:57.420 --> 00:17:58.279
 that jumped out at me.

00:17:58.700 --> 00:17:59.440
 But it has to do

00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:00.360
 with that first question

00:18:00.360 --> 00:18:01.500
 that the lawyer asks

00:18:01.500 --> 00:18:02.480
 up in verse 25.

00:18:02.600 --> 00:18:02.900
 Teacher,

00:18:03.180 --> 00:18:04.200
 what must I do

00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:05.819
 to inherit eternal life?

00:18:05.819 --> 00:18:07.700
 The first lesson

00:18:07.700 --> 00:18:09.759
 that this lawyer

00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:10.599
 needs to learn

00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:11.879
 is actually

00:18:11.879 --> 00:18:13.299
 from the man

00:18:13.299 --> 00:18:14.539
 in the ditch.

00:18:15.500 --> 00:18:16.319
 This lesson

00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:17.179
 is that he needs

00:18:17.179 --> 00:18:18.220
 to accept

00:18:18.220 --> 00:18:19.599
 compassion.

00:18:21.659 --> 00:18:22.740
 And that's exactly

00:18:22.740 --> 00:18:23.539
 what this lawyer

00:18:23.539 --> 00:18:24.519
 didn't get.

00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:25.960
 He didn't get

00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:26.799
 that he had to accept

00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:27.399
 compassion,

00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:27.839
 mercy,

00:18:27.980 --> 00:18:28.259
 love

00:18:28.259 --> 00:18:30.039
 from someone else.

00:18:30.500 --> 00:18:30.619
 Now,

00:18:30.679 --> 00:18:31.179
 have a look at

00:18:31.179 --> 00:18:32.240
 what he suggests

00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:33.519
 that the law says

00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:34.139
 he has to do

00:18:34.139 --> 00:18:35.139
 to inherit eternal life

00:18:35.140 --> 00:18:35.840
 in verse 27.

00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:37.120
 Love the Lord your God

00:18:37.120 --> 00:18:37.720
 with all your heart,

00:18:37.860 --> 00:18:38.080
 mind,

00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:38.480
 soul,

00:18:38.620 --> 00:18:38.980
 strength,

00:18:39.280 --> 00:18:40.259
 and love your neighbour

00:18:40.259 --> 00:18:40.880
 as yourself.

00:18:40.980 --> 00:18:41.080
 Now,

00:18:41.120 --> 00:18:41.860
 the first one,

00:18:42.259 --> 00:18:43.120
 loving God,

00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:44.220
 that's exactly what

00:18:44.220 --> 00:18:45.120
 every Jew,

00:18:45.300 --> 00:18:46.180
 it's called the Shema,

00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:47.360
 it comes from

00:18:47.360 --> 00:18:48.500
 Deuteronomy 6.5,

00:18:48.560 --> 00:18:49.220
 it's what every Jew

00:18:49.220 --> 00:18:49.840
 had to say,

00:18:50.020 --> 00:18:50.960
 recite every day.

00:18:51.300 --> 00:18:52.200
 He knew it backwards.

00:18:52.860 --> 00:18:53.740
 And the second one there

00:18:53.740 --> 00:18:55.180
 is from Leviticus 19.18,

00:18:55.340 --> 00:18:55.960
 love your neighbour

00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:56.780
 as yourself.

00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:58.560
 They are deeply ingrained

00:18:58.560 --> 00:18:59.220
 in what it means

00:18:59.220 --> 00:18:59.980
 to be a Jew

00:18:59.980 --> 00:19:01.340
 who lives by the law.

00:19:01.740 --> 00:19:01.960
 Now,

00:19:02.020 --> 00:19:02.900
 this is the one thing

00:19:02.900 --> 00:19:04.000
 that I think he's forgotten.

00:19:04.780 --> 00:19:05.980
 Those laws that he quoted

00:19:05.980 --> 00:19:06.500
 to Jesus

00:19:06.500 --> 00:19:07.600
 were given to God,

00:19:07.860 --> 00:19:08.700
 given by God

00:19:08.700 --> 00:19:09.300
 to Israel

00:19:09.300 --> 00:19:10.960
 and they assume

00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:11.880
 that something

00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:12.820
 has already happened.

00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:14.680
 You remember the story

00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:15.400
 back in Exodus.

00:19:15.820 --> 00:19:17.560
 God brings Israel

00:19:17.560 --> 00:19:18.340
 out of Egypt,

00:19:18.460 --> 00:19:19.340
 out of slavery

00:19:19.340 --> 00:19:20.860
 and brings them

00:19:20.860 --> 00:19:21.680
 into a new land

00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:22.519
 and he gives them

00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:23.900
 these laws.

00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:25.380
 Now,

00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:26.180
 when these instructions

00:19:26.180 --> 00:19:27.019
 were given,

00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:28.460
 God had already

00:19:28.460 --> 00:19:29.560
 saved them

00:19:29.560 --> 00:19:30.960
 from slavery.

00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:32.079
 He'd already delivered them,

00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:33.259
 already given them life.

00:19:33.860 --> 00:19:34.660
 These instructions

00:19:34.660 --> 00:19:35.480
 that God gave them,

00:19:35.579 --> 00:19:36.420
 love me,

00:19:36.600 --> 00:19:38.180
 love your neighbours,

00:19:38.980 --> 00:19:40.299
 were a response

00:19:40.299 --> 00:19:41.759
 to what God

00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:43.079
 had already done.

00:19:45.860 --> 00:19:46.799
 The mercy

00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:47.559
 and compassion

00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:48.140
 and love

00:19:48.140 --> 00:19:48.860
 and generosity

00:19:48.860 --> 00:19:50.100
 that he'd already

00:19:50.100 --> 00:19:50.519
 give them.

00:19:50.740 --> 00:19:51.420
 These laws

00:19:51.420 --> 00:19:52.360
 were never a way

00:19:52.360 --> 00:19:52.700
 to say,

00:19:52.819 --> 00:19:53.840
 please God,

00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:54.900
 save us.

00:19:55.900 --> 00:19:56.519
 They were always

00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:57.240
 meant to be a way

00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:57.779
 of saying,

00:19:57.940 --> 00:19:58.160
 God,

00:19:58.240 --> 00:19:58.840
 thank you

00:19:58.840 --> 00:20:00.220
 for saving us.

00:20:00.220 --> 00:20:00.559
 thank you

00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:01.740
 for drawing us out.

00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:03.700
 Now we belong

00:20:03.700 --> 00:20:04.319
 to you.

00:20:06.380 --> 00:20:07.140
 They were never

00:20:07.140 --> 00:20:07.380
 a way

00:20:07.380 --> 00:20:08.339
 to get salvation.

00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:09.620
 They were never

00:20:09.620 --> 00:20:09.880
 a way

00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:11.519
 to impress God

00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:12.740
 or get his favour.

00:20:13.779 --> 00:20:14.620
 They were always

00:20:14.620 --> 00:20:15.200
 a way of saying,

00:20:15.380 --> 00:20:15.720
 thank you

00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:16.600
 for having mercy

00:20:16.600 --> 00:20:17.400
 on me.

00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:17.940
 Thank you

00:20:17.940 --> 00:20:19.180
 for having compassion

00:20:19.180 --> 00:20:19.740
 on me

00:20:19.740 --> 00:20:21.100
 and rescuing me

00:20:21.100 --> 00:20:21.940
 when I'd done

00:20:21.940 --> 00:20:22.640
 nothing

00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:24.079
 to earn that.

00:20:26.579 --> 00:20:27.100
 Obedience

00:20:27.100 --> 00:20:28.339
 is not a please.

00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:29.819
 It's a thank you.

00:20:30.220 --> 00:20:30.880
 Thank you,

00:20:30.980 --> 00:20:31.120
 God,

00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:31.900
 for your generosity.

00:20:33.019 --> 00:20:34.120
 So if you believe

00:20:34.120 --> 00:20:34.759
 God has done

00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:35.400
 something for you,

00:20:35.420 --> 00:20:36.519
 had compassion

00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:37.160
 on you,

00:20:37.620 --> 00:20:38.360
 been generous

00:20:38.360 --> 00:20:39.019
 towards you,

00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:40.420
 then you'll live

00:20:40.420 --> 00:20:41.339
 a life of obedience.

00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:42.480
 But the lawyer

00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:43.400
 didn't get that.

00:20:43.980 --> 00:20:45.180
 He didn't get

00:20:45.180 --> 00:20:46.079
 that forgiveness,

00:20:46.460 --> 00:20:46.900
 adoption,

00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:47.839
 new life,

00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:48.860
 eternal life

00:20:48.860 --> 00:20:51.259
 are available

00:20:51.259 --> 00:20:52.200
 as a free gift

00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:52.860
 from God.

00:20:53.700 --> 00:20:54.680
 That they're given

00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:55.200
 when you come

00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:55.720
 to Jesus

00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:58.140
 and you say,

00:20:58.299 --> 00:20:59.460
 I belong to you.

00:21:01.500 --> 00:21:01.940
 Now,

00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:02.920
 refusing to keep

00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:03.620
 those commands

00:21:03.620 --> 00:21:04.299
 to love God

00:21:04.299 --> 00:21:05.000
 and to love others

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:05.660
 is like turning

00:21:05.660 --> 00:21:06.140
 around to God

00:21:06.140 --> 00:21:06.539
 and saying,

00:21:06.940 --> 00:21:08.839
 you've done

00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:09.740
 nothing for me.

00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:11.059
 You've done

00:21:11.059 --> 00:21:11.400
 nothing.

00:21:12.600 --> 00:21:13.259
 And that's

00:21:13.259 --> 00:21:13.740
 where the lawyer

00:21:13.740 --> 00:21:14.279
 is at.

00:21:18.500 --> 00:21:19.420
 Jesus says to him,

00:21:19.420 --> 00:21:19.900
 the neighbours

00:21:19.900 --> 00:21:20.660
 that you're supposed

00:21:20.660 --> 00:21:21.160
 to love

00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:21.880
 in that command,

00:21:22.120 --> 00:21:22.720
 love your neighbours,

00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:24.360
 they're not

00:21:24.360 --> 00:21:25.180
 just your buddies.

00:21:26.100 --> 00:21:26.700
 They're not

00:21:26.700 --> 00:21:27.880
 just Christians

00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:29.039
 or in that day

00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:30.640
 followers of God,

00:21:30.779 --> 00:21:31.200
 Yahweh.

00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:33.299
 They're not

00:21:33.299 --> 00:21:33.880
 just people

00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:34.779
 who obey

00:21:34.779 --> 00:21:35.380
 the laws

00:21:35.380 --> 00:21:36.200
 of our society.

00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:39.620
 They're people

00:21:39.620 --> 00:21:40.660
 like the Samaritan

00:21:40.660 --> 00:21:43.019
 who normally

00:21:43.019 --> 00:21:44.559
 you hate

00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:45.680
 with everything

00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:46.779
 that you're

00:21:46.779 --> 00:21:47.360
 made of.

00:21:49.059 --> 00:21:49.960
 But the lawyer

00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:50.799
 can't accept that.

00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:52.859
 And you can see

00:21:52.859 --> 00:21:53.379
 once again

00:21:53.379 --> 00:21:53.819
 by the way

00:21:53.819 --> 00:21:54.299
 that he answers

00:21:54.299 --> 00:21:55.159
 Jesus in the end,

00:21:55.220 --> 00:21:55.879
 he just does not

00:21:55.879 --> 00:21:56.919
 accept that he

00:21:56.919 --> 00:21:57.700
 has to love

00:21:57.700 --> 00:21:59.079
 the Samaritan,

00:21:59.500 --> 00:22:00.279
 people who are

00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:01.619
 different from him.

00:22:03.500 --> 00:22:04.819
 He can't do it.

00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:07.539
 And he's

00:22:07.539 --> 00:22:08.279
 effectively saying

00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:08.759
 to God,

00:22:09.159 --> 00:22:09.899
 whatever you may

00:22:09.899 --> 00:22:10.899
 have done for me,

00:22:12.180 --> 00:22:13.379
 whatever you may

00:22:13.379 --> 00:22:14.480
 be offering me,

00:22:16.399 --> 00:22:17.579
 it's not enough

00:22:17.579 --> 00:22:19.180
 for me

00:22:19.180 --> 00:22:20.420
 to love people

00:22:20.420 --> 00:22:21.039
 like that.

00:22:23.259 --> 00:22:24.320
 He doesn't

00:22:24.320 --> 00:22:25.100
 get

00:22:25.100 --> 00:22:28.140
 that love,

00:22:28.580 --> 00:22:29.120
 obedience,

00:22:29.500 --> 00:22:30.060
 compassion

00:22:30.060 --> 00:22:31.700
 aren't a please.

00:22:32.740 --> 00:22:33.740
 They're a thank you

00:22:33.740 --> 00:22:34.420
 God for what

00:22:34.420 --> 00:22:34.980
 you've done

00:22:34.980 --> 00:22:35.860
 for me.

00:22:36.460 --> 00:22:37.080
 And if you've

00:22:37.080 --> 00:22:38.140
 done this for me,

00:22:39.019 --> 00:22:40.100
 I'll do anything

00:22:40.100 --> 00:22:41.480
 for you.

00:22:43.299 --> 00:22:44.140
 So what about you?

00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:45.480
 The rest of the book

00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:46.200
 of Luke goes on

00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:46.840
 and tells us about

00:22:46.840 --> 00:22:48.019
 how Jesus is like

00:22:48.019 --> 00:22:49.000
 that Samaritan.

00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:49.799
 He came into this

00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:50.500
 world because he

00:22:50.500 --> 00:22:51.220
 has compassion.

00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:52.599
 He looked at us

00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:54.119
 and saw the pain

00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:55.259
 and the injustice

00:22:55.259 --> 00:22:56.099
 and the brokenness

00:22:56.099 --> 00:22:56.839
 and the unhappiness

00:22:56.839 --> 00:22:57.519
 of this world,

00:22:57.799 --> 00:22:58.599
 the sinfulness

00:22:58.599 --> 00:22:59.859
 of this world

00:22:59.859 --> 00:23:00.319
 and how it's

00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:01.299
 become lost

00:23:01.299 --> 00:23:02.339
 from God.

00:23:06.879 --> 00:23:07.759
 And he saw

00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:08.139
 that that was

00:23:08.139 --> 00:23:09.400
 caused by our

00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:11.319
 self-centeredness,

00:23:11.740 --> 00:23:12.579
 by a history

00:23:12.579 --> 00:23:13.339
 of something like

00:23:13.339 --> 00:23:14.539
 12 billion people

00:23:14.539 --> 00:23:15.279
 apparently who have

00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:15.940
 ever lived,

00:23:16.379 --> 00:23:17.160
 who have chosen

00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:18.360
 to live without

00:23:18.360 --> 00:23:18.920
 God.

00:23:20.600 --> 00:23:21.320
 And so look

00:23:21.320 --> 00:23:22.700
 around at the

00:23:22.700 --> 00:23:23.420
 results of that

00:23:23.420 --> 00:23:24.700
 in our world

00:23:24.700 --> 00:23:25.019
 today.

00:23:25.700 --> 00:23:26.380
 Not only that,

00:23:26.460 --> 00:23:27.160
 but God waits

00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:28.680
 to judge mankind

00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:30.320
 for rejecting

00:23:30.320 --> 00:23:30.620
 him.

00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:31.720
 Jesus saw us

00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:32.279
 there on that

00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:32.700
 road,

00:23:33.140 --> 00:23:33.700
 keeled up

00:23:33.700 --> 00:23:34.460
 and waiting

00:23:34.460 --> 00:23:34.980
 to die.

00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:37.980
 And he had

00:23:37.980 --> 00:23:38.720
 compassion and

00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:39.340
 brought healing.

00:23:39.700 --> 00:23:40.180
 He brought

00:23:40.180 --> 00:23:41.080
 healing by living

00:23:41.080 --> 00:23:41.980
 a perfect,

00:23:42.300 --> 00:23:43.420
 God-centered,

00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:44.380
 God-loving,

00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:45.560
 others-loving

00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:46.819
 life and

00:23:46.819 --> 00:23:47.539
 then dying

00:23:47.539 --> 00:23:49.700
 as a

00:23:49.700 --> 00:23:50.019
 criminal,

00:23:50.659 --> 00:23:51.379
 complete opposite.

00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:53.319
 And when he

00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:53.659
 died,

00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:54.220
 he took all

00:23:54.220 --> 00:23:54.799
 of our guilt

00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:56.200
 to himself

00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:56.980
 and with

00:23:56.980 --> 00:23:57.899
 himself into

00:23:57.899 --> 00:23:58.399
 the ground.

00:23:59.159 --> 00:23:59.500
 And when he

00:23:59.500 --> 00:23:59.940
 came back

00:23:59.940 --> 00:24:00.539
 from the dead,

00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:01.559
 he defeated

00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:02.299
 the power,

00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:03.179
 the ownership,

00:24:03.659 --> 00:24:04.559
 the slavery

00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:05.919
 that sin has

00:24:05.919 --> 00:24:06.740
 over us.

00:24:07.899 --> 00:24:08.480
 And now he

00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:09.159
 offers us a new

00:24:09.159 --> 00:24:09.480
 start.

00:24:09.559 --> 00:24:10.099
 We are not a

00:24:10.099 --> 00:24:10.639
 slave to

00:24:10.639 --> 00:24:11.819
 selfishness anymore.

00:24:11.819 --> 00:24:12.519
 You can

00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:13.480
 escape that.

00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:14.619
 You can

00:24:14.619 --> 00:24:15.299
 escape a

00:24:15.299 --> 00:24:15.779
 life which

00:24:15.779 --> 00:24:16.119
 is just about

00:24:16.119 --> 00:24:17.019
 empty gain

00:24:17.019 --> 00:24:18.119
 and clawing at

00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:18.619
 other people

00:24:18.619 --> 00:24:19.399
 so that you

00:24:19.399 --> 00:24:20.299
 get stuff

00:24:20.299 --> 00:24:20.919
 before you

00:24:20.919 --> 00:24:21.359
 die.

00:24:25.639 --> 00:24:26.460
 Now that's

00:24:26.460 --> 00:24:27.279
 that first

00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:27.879
 lesson there

00:24:27.879 --> 00:24:28.339
 for the lawyer

00:24:28.339 --> 00:24:28.879
 that he didn't

00:24:28.879 --> 00:24:29.619
 get, but we

00:24:29.619 --> 00:24:30.439
 have to get

00:24:30.439 --> 00:24:30.639
 it.

00:24:31.379 --> 00:24:32.019
 Loving your

00:24:32.019 --> 00:24:33.439
 neighbor is

00:24:33.439 --> 00:24:33.960
 not what you

00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:35.000
 do to earn

00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:36.939
 eternal life.

00:24:36.940 --> 00:24:41.380
 It's what

00:24:41.380 --> 00:24:41.820
 you do to

00:24:41.820 --> 00:24:42.460
 say thank

00:24:42.460 --> 00:24:44.220
 you to

00:24:44.220 --> 00:24:44.620
 the God

00:24:44.620 --> 00:24:45.420
 who gives

00:24:45.420 --> 00:24:46.320
 freely.

00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:52.180
 What do

00:24:52.180 --> 00:24:52.720
 you do when

00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:53.080
 you know

00:24:53.080 --> 00:24:53.460
 that God

00:24:53.460 --> 00:24:53.960
 has shown

00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:54.519
 mercy to

00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:54.840
 you?

00:24:55.580 --> 00:24:55.860
 If you

00:24:55.860 --> 00:24:56.620
 believe that,

00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:57.600
 you say

00:24:57.600 --> 00:24:58.180
 thanks.

00:24:59.539 --> 00:25:00.320
 Romans 12

00:25:00.320 --> 00:25:01.200
 1 says,

00:25:01.299 --> 00:25:01.660
 in view of

00:25:01.660 --> 00:25:02.200
 God's mercy,

00:25:02.340 --> 00:25:02.720
 offer yourself

00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:03.460
 as a living

00:25:03.460 --> 00:25:04.660
 sacrifice.

00:25:05.180 --> 00:25:05.400
 If there's

00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:06.080
 no obedience

00:25:06.080 --> 00:25:06.420
 in our

00:25:06.420 --> 00:25:07.000
 lives,

00:25:07.580 --> 00:25:07.960
 there's no

00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:08.800
 compassion in

00:25:08.800 --> 00:25:09.380
 our lives,

00:25:09.420 --> 00:25:09.600
 there's no

00:25:09.600 --> 00:25:10.080
 loving our

00:25:10.080 --> 00:25:10.420
 neighbors,

00:25:11.660 --> 00:25:12.140
 it's like

00:25:12.140 --> 00:25:12.500
 we're saying

00:25:12.500 --> 00:25:12.920
 to Jesus,

00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:13.480
 you've done

00:25:13.480 --> 00:25:15.200
 nothing for

00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:15.480
 me.

00:25:17.340 --> 00:25:17.720
 Now that

00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:17.980
 was the

00:25:17.980 --> 00:25:19.060
 first big

00:25:19.060 --> 00:25:19.539
 lesson there

00:25:19.539 --> 00:25:19.759
 for us,

00:25:19.800 --> 00:25:20.080
 and it came

00:25:20.080 --> 00:25:20.380
 from that

00:25:20.380 --> 00:25:20.820
 question,

00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:21.519
 what I've

00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:21.940
 got to do

00:25:21.940 --> 00:25:22.400
 to inherit

00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:22.980
 eternal life.

00:25:23.060 --> 00:25:23.200
 The big

00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:25.340
 lesson for

00:25:25.340 --> 00:25:25.740
 us was we

00:25:25.740 --> 00:25:26.500
 need to

00:25:26.500 --> 00:25:29.279
 learn how

00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:29.759
 to accept

00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:30.120
 God's

00:25:30.120 --> 00:25:30.620
 compassion.

00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:32.120
 Now there's

00:25:32.120 --> 00:25:32.560
 another big

00:25:32.560 --> 00:25:33.180
 question there

00:25:33.180 --> 00:25:33.700
 remember as

00:25:33.700 --> 00:25:33.940
 well.

00:25:33.940 --> 00:25:36.120
 who is

00:25:36.120 --> 00:25:36.360
 my

00:25:36.360 --> 00:25:36.740
 neighbor?

00:25:36.940 --> 00:25:37.080
 You

00:25:37.080 --> 00:25:37.279
 remember

00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:37.660
 that from

00:25:37.660 --> 00:25:38.259
 verse 29.

00:25:39.140 --> 00:25:39.539
 Now there's

00:25:39.539 --> 00:25:40.000
 another big

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:40.600
 lesson that

00:25:40.600 --> 00:25:40.840
 kind of

00:25:40.840 --> 00:25:41.380
 matches up

00:25:41.380 --> 00:25:42.039
 with this

00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:42.460
 question.

00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:43.400
 And that

00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:43.860
 big lesson

00:25:43.860 --> 00:25:44.460
 for us is

00:25:44.460 --> 00:25:45.160
 that we

00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:45.480
 need to

00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:45.880
 be

00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:46.880
 compassionate.

00:25:47.500 --> 00:25:47.880
 We need

00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:48.259
 to love

00:25:48.259 --> 00:25:49.000
 our neighbor.

00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:49.519
 Let me

00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:50.039
 explain that.

00:25:50.100 --> 00:25:50.720
 Now we're

00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:51.160
 learning this

00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:51.519
 one from

00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:52.059
 the Samaritan

00:25:52.059 --> 00:25:52.519
 who was a

00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:53.180
 neighbor to

00:25:53.180 --> 00:25:54.400
 the man in

00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:54.759
 the ditch.

00:25:56.100 --> 00:25:57.559
 Now the

00:25:57.559 --> 00:25:58.039
 lawyer has

00:25:58.039 --> 00:25:58.440
 asked the

00:25:58.440 --> 00:25:58.799
 question,

00:25:58.900 --> 00:25:59.240
 he's looking

00:25:59.240 --> 00:25:59.799
 for a bare

00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:00.160
 minimum,

00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:01.000
 who is my

00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:01.259
 neighbor?

00:26:01.259 --> 00:26:01.839
 But Jesus

00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:02.339
 gives him

00:26:02.339 --> 00:26:03.099
 a different

00:26:03.099 --> 00:26:03.559
 answer.

00:26:04.339 --> 00:26:04.680
 Now a

00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:05.099
 neighbor,

00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:07.879
 we have to

00:26:07.879 --> 00:26:08.079
 think of

00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:08.519
 a neighbor as

00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:09.200
 someone close

00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:09.660
 by.

00:26:10.099 --> 00:26:10.500
 But these

00:26:10.500 --> 00:26:10.920
 days I think

00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:11.480
 because we

00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:11.759
 live in

00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:12.480
 streets,

00:26:12.619 --> 00:26:13.039
 which they

00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:13.279
 didn't

00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:13.960
 necessarily

00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:14.559
 live in

00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:15.079
 in the

00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:16.400
 camp when

00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:17.180
 Israel was

00:26:17.180 --> 00:26:17.440
 in the

00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:17.680
 desert,

00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:18.019
 when they

00:26:18.019 --> 00:26:18.339
 started

00:26:18.339 --> 00:26:18.920
 thinking about

00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:19.259
 this in

00:26:19.259 --> 00:26:20.079
 Leviticus 19.

00:26:20.660 --> 00:26:21.079
 Because we

00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:21.379
 live in

00:26:21.379 --> 00:26:21.680
 streets,

00:26:21.740 --> 00:26:22.079
 we tend to

00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:22.259
 think of

00:26:22.259 --> 00:26:22.619
 our neighbors

00:26:22.619 --> 00:26:22.819
 as the

00:26:22.819 --> 00:26:23.140
 people on

00:26:23.140 --> 00:26:23.579
 that same

00:26:23.579 --> 00:26:23.940
 row.

00:26:24.220 --> 00:26:24.480
 And it

00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:24.920
 kind of has

00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:25.299
 the same

00:26:25.299 --> 00:26:25.799
 meaning because

00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:26.119
 they're the

00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:26.539
 people who

00:26:26.539 --> 00:26:27.099
 live close

00:26:27.099 --> 00:26:27.559
 to us.

00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:28.700
 But back

00:26:28.700 --> 00:26:29.379
 in Leviticus

00:26:29.379 --> 00:26:29.859
 19,

00:26:29.859 --> 00:26:30.459
 when we're

00:26:30.459 --> 00:26:30.939
 talking about

00:26:30.939 --> 00:26:31.399
 neighbors,

00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:31.879
 we're talking

00:26:31.879 --> 00:26:32.299
 about all

00:26:32.299 --> 00:26:32.799
 the people

00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:33.379
 who are

00:26:33.379 --> 00:26:33.879
 close to

00:26:33.879 --> 00:26:34.039
 us,

00:26:34.139 --> 00:26:34.599
 not just

00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:34.979
 the people

00:26:34.979 --> 00:26:35.240
 who we

00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:35.699
 share a

00:26:35.699 --> 00:26:36.419
 fence with.

00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:39.119
 And we

00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:41.179
 don't really

00:26:41.179 --> 00:26:41.779
 think about

00:26:41.779 --> 00:26:42.279
 this with our

00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:42.679
 neighbors on

00:26:42.679 --> 00:26:43.079
 our streets

00:26:43.079 --> 00:26:43.579
 these days,

00:26:43.679 --> 00:26:44.259
 but the

00:26:44.259 --> 00:26:45.000
 force behind

00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:45.579
 that word

00:26:45.579 --> 00:26:45.819
 when the

00:26:45.819 --> 00:26:46.399
 Bible uses

00:26:46.399 --> 00:26:47.599
 neighbor is

00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:48.119
 the person

00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:48.599
 who is in

00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:49.539
 your inner

00:26:49.539 --> 00:26:50.039
 circle,

00:26:50.159 --> 00:26:50.479
 the person

00:26:50.479 --> 00:26:50.759
 who is in

00:26:50.759 --> 00:26:51.259
 your in

00:26:51.259 --> 00:26:51.939
 group,

00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:52.679
 the people

00:26:52.679 --> 00:26:53.000
 who are

00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:53.939
 closest around

00:26:53.939 --> 00:26:54.119
 you.

00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:54.679
 We certainly

00:26:54.679 --> 00:26:55.479
 don't think

00:26:55.479 --> 00:26:57.179
 that way about

00:26:57.179 --> 00:26:57.740
 most of our

00:26:57.740 --> 00:26:58.619
 neighbors these

00:26:58.619 --> 00:26:59.139
 days.

00:26:59.859 --> 00:27:02.199
 Now,

00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:02.719
 it's a little

00:27:02.719 --> 00:27:03.479
 bit like

00:27:03.479 --> 00:27:04.799
 when we

00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:05.659
 started school,

00:27:06.579 --> 00:27:07.079
 the way that

00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:07.379
 the Bible

00:27:07.379 --> 00:27:07.919
 thinks about

00:27:07.919 --> 00:27:08.639
 neighbors.

00:27:08.779 --> 00:27:09.159
 When you

00:27:09.159 --> 00:27:10.019
 started school,

00:27:10.479 --> 00:27:10.779
 you didn't

00:27:10.779 --> 00:27:11.299
 kind of go

00:27:11.299 --> 00:27:11.939
 around,

00:27:12.439 --> 00:27:12.659
 well,

00:27:12.699 --> 00:27:13.059
 at least this

00:27:13.059 --> 00:27:13.379
 wasn't the

00:27:13.379 --> 00:27:13.839
 case for me.

00:27:13.919 --> 00:27:14.559
 I didn't go

00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:14.979
 around and

00:27:14.979 --> 00:27:15.759
 look at

00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:16.539
 everyone and

00:27:16.539 --> 00:27:16.979
 look through

00:27:16.979 --> 00:27:17.679
 their bag and

00:27:17.679 --> 00:27:20.859
 see if they

00:27:20.859 --> 00:27:21.419
 had a pool

00:27:21.419 --> 00:27:22.399
 and look at

00:27:22.399 --> 00:27:22.759
 their dad's

00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:23.259
 car and if it

00:27:23.259 --> 00:27:23.639
 was fun to

00:27:23.639 --> 00:27:24.039
 ride around

00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:24.179
 with.

00:27:24.339 --> 00:27:24.679
 I used to

00:27:24.679 --> 00:27:25.179
 like arm

00:27:25.179 --> 00:27:25.599
 rest in

00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:25.939
 cars.

00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:26.299
 It made me

00:27:26.299 --> 00:27:26.619
 feel like I

00:27:26.619 --> 00:27:26.939
 was in a

00:27:26.939 --> 00:27:27.339
 spaceship.

00:27:27.339 --> 00:27:28.000
 I didn't

00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:28.500
 check out

00:27:28.500 --> 00:27:28.779
 when my

00:27:28.779 --> 00:27:29.119
 friends'

00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:29.980
 dads had

00:27:29.980 --> 00:27:30.500
 cars with

00:27:30.500 --> 00:27:31.359
 armrests

00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:32.259
 before I

00:27:32.259 --> 00:27:32.899
 decided to

00:27:32.899 --> 00:27:33.359
 be their

00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:33.799
 friend.

00:27:35.099 --> 00:27:35.379
 See,

00:27:35.539 --> 00:27:36.000
 when you're

00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:36.679
 in school,

00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:38.199
 you rock up.

00:27:39.179 --> 00:27:39.539
 You don't

00:27:39.539 --> 00:27:40.379
 know anybody.

00:27:40.579 --> 00:27:41.059
 The first day

00:27:41.059 --> 00:27:41.439
 you go to

00:27:41.439 --> 00:27:42.000
 kindergarten or

00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:42.500
 if you change

00:27:42.500 --> 00:27:43.139
 schools when you

00:27:43.139 --> 00:27:43.500
 go to high

00:27:43.500 --> 00:27:43.699
 school,

00:27:43.959 --> 00:27:44.639
 in year seven,

00:27:44.699 --> 00:27:45.240
 that first day

00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:45.599
 you don't know

00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:46.000
 anyone.

00:27:46.459 --> 00:27:46.939
 And so you're

00:27:46.939 --> 00:27:47.659
 just praying that

00:27:47.659 --> 00:27:48.339
 you get to sit

00:27:48.339 --> 00:27:49.019
 next to someone

00:27:49.019 --> 00:27:50.500
 at lunchtime and

00:27:50.500 --> 00:27:50.879
 you're going to

00:27:50.879 --> 00:27:51.579
 hold on to those

00:27:51.579 --> 00:27:52.259
 people for the

00:27:52.259 --> 00:27:53.039
 next six to

00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:54.379
 twelve years and

00:27:54.379 --> 00:27:55.000
 they're your

00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:55.399
 friends.

00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:55.640
 And that

00:27:55.640 --> 00:27:56.120
 becomes your

00:27:56.120 --> 00:27:56.500
 group,

00:27:57.140 --> 00:27:58.300
 the phenomenon

00:27:58.300 --> 00:27:59.280
 of a group

00:27:59.280 --> 00:28:00.080
 in school.

00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:00.519
 That's how

00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:01.000
 they're formed.

00:28:01.220 --> 00:28:01.680
 They're just the

00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:02.160
 people that you

00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:02.620
 happen to be

00:28:02.620 --> 00:28:03.360
 sitting next to

00:28:03.360 --> 00:28:04.100
 that particular

00:28:04.100 --> 00:28:05.240
 first day and

00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:05.900
 they become your

00:28:05.900 --> 00:28:06.519
 friends for the

00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:07.280
 next six years.

00:28:07.580 --> 00:28:08.600
 Now that's kind

00:28:08.600 --> 00:28:09.000
 of the way

00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:09.700
 neighbours work

00:28:09.700 --> 00:28:10.320
 in the Bible.

00:28:10.820 --> 00:28:11.060
 They're the

00:28:11.060 --> 00:28:11.519
 people that

00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:12.360
 you're close

00:28:12.360 --> 00:28:12.680
 to.

00:28:12.820 --> 00:28:13.019
 They're the

00:28:13.019 --> 00:28:13.380
 people that

00:28:13.380 --> 00:28:13.940
 are around

00:28:13.940 --> 00:28:14.660
 you in your

00:28:14.660 --> 00:28:15.500
 everyday life

00:28:15.500 --> 00:28:15.860
 and not

00:28:15.860 --> 00:28:16.320
 necessarily

00:28:16.320 --> 00:28:16.759
 because you

00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:17.700
 just assess

00:28:17.700 --> 00:28:18.420
 them upon

00:28:18.420 --> 00:28:18.940
 how good

00:28:18.940 --> 00:28:19.380
 friends they

00:28:19.380 --> 00:28:19.820
 might be.

00:28:20.140 --> 00:28:20.519
 They're just

00:28:20.519 --> 00:28:20.940
 the people

00:28:20.940 --> 00:28:21.580
 who are nearby

00:28:21.580 --> 00:28:22.500
 and so they

00:28:22.500 --> 00:28:22.960
 become the

00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:23.840
 people who are

00:28:23.840 --> 00:28:24.740
 part of your

00:28:24.740 --> 00:28:25.100
 inner

00:28:25.099 --> 00:28:26.219
 circle of

00:28:26.219 --> 00:28:26.559
 friends.

00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:27.299
 The people

00:28:27.299 --> 00:28:28.259
 that are

00:28:28.259 --> 00:28:28.719
 with you,

00:28:28.779 --> 00:28:29.139
 the people

00:28:29.139 --> 00:28:29.480
 that you

00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:30.199
 love and

00:28:30.199 --> 00:28:30.839
 take care of

00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:31.359
 and cherish.

00:28:31.719 --> 00:28:32.419
 That's what

00:28:32.419 --> 00:28:32.819
 we're thinking

00:28:32.819 --> 00:28:33.199
 about when

00:28:33.199 --> 00:28:33.519
 we're talking

00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:34.099
 about neighbours

00:28:34.099 --> 00:28:34.719
 in the

00:28:34.719 --> 00:28:35.079
 Bible.

00:28:37.719 --> 00:28:38.359
 And the

00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:38.740
 lawyer is

00:28:38.740 --> 00:28:38.899
 saying,

00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:39.079
 listen,

00:28:39.219 --> 00:28:39.879
 who is that

00:28:39.879 --> 00:28:40.219
 for me?

00:28:40.259 --> 00:28:40.559
 Who am I

00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:40.959
 supposed to

00:28:40.959 --> 00:28:41.339
 be taking

00:28:41.339 --> 00:28:41.719
 care of?

00:28:41.980 --> 00:28:43.339
 Who is in

00:28:43.339 --> 00:28:43.799
 that inner

00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:44.379
 circle for

00:28:44.379 --> 00:28:44.699
 me?

00:28:44.879 --> 00:28:45.639
 Because really

00:28:45.639 --> 00:28:46.199
 I just want

00:28:46.199 --> 00:28:46.759
 to focus on

00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:47.159
 them and

00:28:47.159 --> 00:28:47.639
 forget about

00:28:47.639 --> 00:28:48.399
 everybody else.

00:28:48.719 --> 00:28:49.199
 Who is

00:28:49.199 --> 00:28:49.719
 supposed to

00:28:49.719 --> 00:28:50.279
 be my

00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:50.659
 neighbour?

00:28:52.619 --> 00:28:53.179
 Who I'm

00:28:53.179 --> 00:28:53.699
 supposed to

00:28:53.699 --> 00:28:54.039
 love?

00:28:54.039 --> 00:28:54.659
 And you

00:28:54.659 --> 00:28:55.079
 notice that

00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:55.839
 Jesus changes

00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:56.539
 the question

00:28:56.539 --> 00:28:57.279
 a little bit

00:28:57.279 --> 00:28:57.839
 towards the

00:28:57.839 --> 00:28:58.180
 end of the

00:28:58.180 --> 00:28:58.559
 parable.

00:28:58.920 --> 00:28:59.339
 Have a look

00:28:59.339 --> 00:28:59.740
 down in

00:28:59.740 --> 00:29:00.379
 verse 36.

00:29:00.539 --> 00:29:00.960
 Now compare

00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:01.500
 this to what

00:29:01.500 --> 00:29:01.819
 the guy

00:29:01.819 --> 00:29:02.639
 originally asked

00:29:02.639 --> 00:29:03.680
 in verse 29.

00:29:04.180 --> 00:29:04.700
 Who is my

00:29:04.700 --> 00:29:05.039
 neighbour?

00:29:05.299 --> 00:29:05.799
 By the time

00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:06.139
 we get down

00:29:06.139 --> 00:29:07.099
 to verse 36,

00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:08.039
 Jesus says

00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:08.579
 something a

00:29:08.579 --> 00:29:08.859
 little bit

00:29:08.859 --> 00:29:09.240
 different.

00:29:09.879 --> 00:29:10.259
 Which of

00:29:10.259 --> 00:29:11.039
 these three,

00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:11.659
 so the

00:29:11.659 --> 00:29:11.940
 priest,

00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:12.619
 the Levite

00:29:12.619 --> 00:29:13.420
 and the

00:29:13.420 --> 00:29:13.940
 Samaritan,

00:29:14.299 --> 00:29:14.859
 do you think

00:29:14.859 --> 00:29:15.420
 was a neighbour

00:29:15.420 --> 00:29:16.099
 to the man

00:29:16.099 --> 00:29:16.920
 who fell in

00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:17.339
 the hands

00:29:17.339 --> 00:29:18.000
 of robbers?

00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:20.819
 Now we're

00:29:20.819 --> 00:29:21.380
 not talking

00:29:21.380 --> 00:29:23.240
 about who

00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:24.539
 is my

00:29:24.539 --> 00:29:24.839
 neighbour

00:29:24.839 --> 00:29:25.279
 anymore.

00:29:26.099 --> 00:29:26.619
 Jesus has

00:29:26.619 --> 00:29:27.140
 changed the

00:29:27.140 --> 00:29:27.539
 question.

00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:29.900
 Who are you

00:29:29.900 --> 00:29:30.279
 going to be

00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:30.700
 a neighbour

00:29:30.700 --> 00:29:31.140
 to?

00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:34.460
 Jesus isn't

00:29:34.460 --> 00:29:35.220
 thinking about

00:29:35.220 --> 00:29:36.140
 who's that

00:29:36.140 --> 00:29:37.180
 select few

00:29:37.180 --> 00:29:37.940
 people that

00:29:37.940 --> 00:29:38.339
 have been

00:29:38.339 --> 00:29:38.839
 close to you

00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:39.180
 for a little

00:29:39.180 --> 00:29:40.880
 while that

00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:41.279
 you're going

00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:41.579
 to think

00:29:41.579 --> 00:29:42.140
 about loving

00:29:42.140 --> 00:29:42.500
 and you're

00:29:42.500 --> 00:29:42.660
 going to

00:29:42.660 --> 00:29:42.980
 make sure

00:29:42.980 --> 00:29:43.359
 you take

00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:43.660
 care of

00:29:43.660 --> 00:29:43.900
 them.

00:29:44.299 --> 00:29:44.920
 He's blown

00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:45.259
 it wide

00:29:45.259 --> 00:29:46.140
 open and

00:29:46.140 --> 00:29:46.519
 he's now

00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:46.840
 saying,

00:29:47.140 --> 00:29:47.539
 now who

00:29:47.539 --> 00:29:48.060
 are you

00:29:48.060 --> 00:29:48.420
 going to

00:29:48.420 --> 00:29:48.740
 be a

00:29:48.740 --> 00:29:49.039
 neighbour

00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:49.820
 to?

00:29:50.600 --> 00:29:51.120
 Who are

00:29:51.120 --> 00:29:51.519
 you going

00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:52.400
 to treat

00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:53.580
 as if

00:29:53.580 --> 00:29:54.240
 they are

00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:54.920
 in your

00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:55.720
 inner circle?

00:29:56.279 --> 00:29:56.759
 Who are

00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:57.140
 you going

00:29:57.140 --> 00:29:58.100
 to speak

00:29:58.100 --> 00:29:59.140
 to just

00:29:59.140 --> 00:29:59.600
 as if

00:29:59.600 --> 00:30:00.180
 they were

00:30:00.180 --> 00:30:00.779
 your closest?

00:30:01.140 --> 00:30:01.539
 Who are

00:30:01.539 --> 00:30:01.880
 you going

00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:02.180
 to have

00:30:02.180 --> 00:30:02.860
 compassion

00:30:02.860 --> 00:30:04.220
 on just

00:30:04.220 --> 00:30:04.940
 as if

00:30:04.940 --> 00:30:05.840
 they were

00:30:05.840 --> 00:30:06.720
 your closest

00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:08.460
 friends?

00:30:10.420 --> 00:30:11.220
 Being a

00:30:11.220 --> 00:30:11.539
 neighbour

00:30:11.539 --> 00:30:12.980
 means

00:30:12.980 --> 00:30:13.340
 treating

00:30:13.340 --> 00:30:14.039
 people even

00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:15.539
 enemies

00:30:15.539 --> 00:30:16.839
 Samaritans

00:30:16.839 --> 00:30:18.619
 as those

00:30:18.619 --> 00:30:19.200
 people who

00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:19.960
 are in

00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:21.200
 your

00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:22.680
 group

00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:23.319
 click

00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:24.019
 circle

00:30:24.019 --> 00:30:25.879
 and amongst

00:30:25.879 --> 00:30:26.720
 many things

00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:27.759
 compassion is

00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:28.339
 how we treat

00:30:28.339 --> 00:30:29.119
 our closest

00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:29.579
 friends,

00:30:29.659 --> 00:30:29.879
 isn't it?

00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:30.460
 If we hear

00:30:30.460 --> 00:30:30.940
 that our

00:30:30.940 --> 00:30:31.379
 friend is

00:30:31.379 --> 00:30:32.819
 sick or

00:30:32.819 --> 00:30:33.079
 if there

00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:33.779
 is massive

00:30:33.779 --> 00:30:34.579
 tragedy in

00:30:34.579 --> 00:30:35.039
 the family

00:30:35.039 --> 00:30:35.440
 of one of

00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:35.899
 our particularly

00:30:35.899 --> 00:30:36.779
 close friends,

00:30:37.220 --> 00:30:37.639
 we're prepared

00:30:37.639 --> 00:30:38.059
 to drop

00:30:38.059 --> 00:30:38.579
 stuff for

00:30:38.579 --> 00:30:38.700
 that,

00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:39.059
 aren't we?

00:30:39.259 --> 00:30:39.720
 We're prepared

00:30:39.720 --> 00:30:40.279
 to drop

00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:41.720
 our business

00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:42.759
 to be there

00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:43.099
 for them,

00:30:43.099 --> 00:30:43.839
 to let

00:30:43.839 --> 00:30:44.319
 things that

00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:44.779
 we're working

00:30:44.779 --> 00:30:45.159
 on be

00:30:45.159 --> 00:30:45.480
 late,

00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:45.980
 to let

00:30:45.980 --> 00:30:46.339
 them not

00:30:46.339 --> 00:30:46.759
 get done

00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:47.519
 because we're

00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:48.000
 prepared to

00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:48.579
 have compassion

00:30:48.579 --> 00:30:49.059
 on them.

00:30:50.419 --> 00:30:51.039
 Now that's

00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:51.299
 what we're

00:30:51.299 --> 00:30:51.959
 talking about

00:30:51.959 --> 00:30:52.399
 when Jesus

00:30:52.399 --> 00:30:52.639
 says,

00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:53.179
 who are you

00:30:53.179 --> 00:30:53.539
 going to

00:30:53.539 --> 00:30:54.819
 be a

00:30:54.819 --> 00:30:55.179
 neighbour

00:30:55.179 --> 00:30:55.639
 to?

00:30:57.839 --> 00:30:58.359
 Who are

00:30:58.359 --> 00:30:58.659
 you going

00:30:58.659 --> 00:30:59.579
 to extend

00:30:59.579 --> 00:31:00.559
 your

00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:01.259
 closeness

00:31:01.259 --> 00:31:01.919
 to?

00:31:02.539 --> 00:31:02.839
 And we're

00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:03.259
 not talking

00:31:03.259 --> 00:31:03.699
 about everyone

00:31:03.699 --> 00:31:04.119
 in the world

00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:04.619
 being your

00:31:04.619 --> 00:31:05.619
 closest friend

00:31:05.619 --> 00:31:05.980
 with whom

00:31:05.980 --> 00:31:06.379
 you share

00:31:06.379 --> 00:31:06.679
 everything

00:31:06.679 --> 00:31:07.240
 about you,

00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:09.599
 but who

00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:09.799
 are you

00:31:09.799 --> 00:31:10.079
 going to

00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:10.640
 extend

00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:11.160
 the

00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:11.819
 compassion

00:31:11.819 --> 00:31:13.059
 that you

00:31:13.059 --> 00:31:13.420
 would have

00:31:13.420 --> 00:31:13.720
 on your

00:31:13.720 --> 00:31:14.099
 closest

00:31:14.099 --> 00:31:14.620
 people

00:31:14.620 --> 00:31:15.400
 to?

00:31:18.099 --> 00:31:18.759
 Who are

00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:19.019
 you going

00:31:19.019 --> 00:31:19.220
 to be

00:31:19.220 --> 00:31:19.660
 a neighbour

00:31:19.660 --> 00:31:20.359
 to?

00:31:23.220 --> 00:31:23.720
 Kate and

00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:23.960
 I know

00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:24.500
 a family

00:31:24.500 --> 00:31:25.259
 very well

00:31:25.259 --> 00:31:25.640
 actually,

00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:27.279
 in which

00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:27.700
 there's been

00:31:27.700 --> 00:31:28.079
 a lot of

00:31:28.079 --> 00:31:28.579
 strife.

00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:29.759
 Two brothers

00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:30.460
 are involved.

00:31:30.700 --> 00:31:31.319
 One brother

00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:32.039
 was looking

00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:32.859
 after a bunch

00:31:32.859 --> 00:31:33.500
 of cash

00:31:33.500 --> 00:31:34.299
 for missionaries

00:31:34.299 --> 00:31:36.220
 and this

00:31:36.220 --> 00:31:37.039
 guy decided

00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:37.220
 that,

00:31:37.399 --> 00:31:37.500
 well,

00:31:37.579 --> 00:31:37.879
 to make

00:31:37.879 --> 00:31:38.159
 some more

00:31:38.159 --> 00:31:38.559
 money for

00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:38.879
 these

00:31:38.879 --> 00:31:39.539
 missionaries

00:31:39.539 --> 00:31:40.000
 and really

00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:40.460
 impress them

00:31:40.460 --> 00:31:40.839
 and support

00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:40.980
 them,

00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:41.539
 I'm going

00:31:41.539 --> 00:31:42.159
 to invest

00:31:42.159 --> 00:31:42.399
 it in

00:31:42.399 --> 00:31:42.700
 some really

00:31:42.700 --> 00:31:43.879
 high-risk

00:31:43.879 --> 00:31:44.480
 investments

00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:45.500
 and he

00:31:45.500 --> 00:31:45.839
 loses

00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:46.619
 everything.

00:31:47.980 --> 00:31:48.460
 But he

00:31:48.460 --> 00:31:48.819
 doesn't tell

00:31:48.819 --> 00:31:49.220
 anybody

00:31:49.220 --> 00:31:50.200
 because he

00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:50.399
 doesn't get

00:31:50.399 --> 00:31:50.740
 in trouble.

00:31:51.819 --> 00:31:52.319
 So he

00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:53.139
 looks for

00:31:53.139 --> 00:31:53.539
 ways to

00:31:53.539 --> 00:31:53.839
 get it

00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:54.240
 back.

00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:55.119
 He looks

00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:55.519
 for other

00:31:55.519 --> 00:31:55.960
 risky

00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:56.859
 business

00:31:56.859 --> 00:31:57.240
 ventures

00:31:57.240 --> 00:31:58.099
 and business

00:31:58.099 --> 00:31:58.339
 ventures

00:31:58.339 --> 00:31:58.599
 are even

00:31:58.599 --> 00:31:59.059
 riskier than

00:31:59.059 --> 00:31:59.299
 that,

00:31:59.440 --> 00:31:59.940
 to try and

00:31:59.940 --> 00:32:00.240
 get this

00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:00.659
 money back

00:32:00.659 --> 00:32:01.000
 so no one

00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:01.379
 will find

00:32:01.379 --> 00:32:01.839
 out.

00:32:03.180 --> 00:32:03.960
 But someone

00:32:03.960 --> 00:32:04.660
 does find

00:32:04.660 --> 00:32:04.980
 out,

00:32:05.259 --> 00:32:05.559
 the Sydney

00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:05.740
 Morning

00:32:05.740 --> 00:32:06.120
 Herald

00:32:06.120 --> 00:32:06.819
 finds out

00:32:06.819 --> 00:32:07.400
 on the

00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:08.220
 front page

00:32:08.220 --> 00:32:09.360
 and so

00:32:09.360 --> 00:32:09.720
 it gets

00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:10.259
 blown wide

00:32:10.259 --> 00:32:10.539
 open.

00:32:11.420 --> 00:32:12.039
 So this

00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:12.720
 guy and his

00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:13.279
 family get

00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:13.920
 torn apart

00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:15.000
 but his

00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:16.840
 brother at

00:32:16.840 --> 00:32:17.240
 that point

00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:17.579
 has a

00:32:17.579 --> 00:32:18.059
 choice,

00:32:18.680 --> 00:32:19.140
 has to

00:32:19.140 --> 00:32:19.680
 say normally

00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:20.019
 in our

00:32:20.019 --> 00:32:22.100
 society it

00:32:22.100 --> 00:32:22.380
 would be

00:32:22.380 --> 00:32:22.940
 understandable

00:32:22.940 --> 00:32:23.539
 for me to

00:32:23.539 --> 00:32:24.319
 disown this

00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:24.759
 brother of

00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:25.100
 mine,

00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:26.480
 to say that

00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:27.120
 he's not

00:32:27.120 --> 00:32:28.079
 my brother

00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:28.640
 anymore,

00:32:28.980 --> 00:32:29.299
 that he's

00:32:29.299 --> 00:32:29.779
 not part of

00:32:29.779 --> 00:32:30.200
 this family

00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:30.660
 anymore.

00:32:31.500 --> 00:32:32.039
 That happens

00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:32.680
 in society

00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:33.660
 and no

00:32:33.660 --> 00:32:34.080
 one seems

00:32:34.080 --> 00:32:34.519
 to wave

00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:34.900
 their finger

00:32:34.900 --> 00:32:35.220
 at that,

00:32:35.259 --> 00:32:35.420
 it's

00:32:35.420 --> 00:32:35.820
 acceptable.

00:32:36.140 --> 00:32:36.440
 He could

00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:36.960
 do that.

00:32:39.259 --> 00:32:40.299
 But instead

00:32:40.299 --> 00:32:41.420
 he takes

00:32:41.420 --> 00:32:41.940
 his brother

00:32:41.940 --> 00:32:42.340
 and his

00:32:42.340 --> 00:32:42.640
 brother's

00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:42.880
 immediate

00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:43.480
 family and

00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:43.980
 he cares

00:32:43.980 --> 00:32:44.220
 for them,

00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:45.180
 he houses

00:32:45.180 --> 00:32:45.519
 them,

00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:47.420
 he has

00:32:47.420 --> 00:32:48.019
 them over

00:32:48.019 --> 00:32:49.460
 to be in

00:32:49.460 --> 00:32:50.160
 his family

00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:51.279
 and he

00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:52.039
 calls this

00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:53.220
 man still

00:32:53.220 --> 00:32:55.299
 brother.

00:32:55.299 --> 00:32:55.399
 brother,

00:32:56.740 --> 00:32:57.740
 he extends

00:32:57.740 --> 00:32:58.259
 his

00:32:58.259 --> 00:32:58.960
 compassion

00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:00.399
 to someone

00:33:00.399 --> 00:33:01.980
 who does

00:33:01.980 --> 00:33:02.519
 not deserve

00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:02.799
 it.

00:33:04.159 --> 00:33:04.700
 That's the

00:33:04.700 --> 00:33:05.319
 question Jesus

00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:05.839
 asks,

00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:07.240
 who are you

00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:08.279
 a neighbour

00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:09.039
 to?

00:33:09.779 --> 00:33:10.200
 Who do you

00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:11.279
 extend your

00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:12.220
 compassionate arms

00:33:12.220 --> 00:33:12.819
 out to even

00:33:12.819 --> 00:33:13.119
 though they

00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:14.019
 don't deserve

00:33:14.019 --> 00:33:14.240
 it?

00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:15.500
 Now sometimes

00:33:15.500 --> 00:33:16.059
 it is very

00:33:16.059 --> 00:33:16.899
 hard to be

00:33:16.899 --> 00:33:17.680
 compassionate,

00:33:17.859 --> 00:33:18.099
 isn't it?

00:33:18.139 --> 00:33:19.460
 It's strange

00:33:19.460 --> 00:33:20.000
 but it's true.

00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:20.519
 It's strange

00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:21.000
 because we

00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:21.639
 kind of associate

00:33:21.639 --> 00:33:22.879
 compassion with

00:33:22.879 --> 00:33:23.299
 something,

00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:24.039
 some tug of

00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:24.500
 your heart

00:33:24.500 --> 00:33:25.639
 that irresistibly

00:33:25.639 --> 00:33:26.180
 pulls you

00:33:26.180 --> 00:33:26.920
 towards somebody

00:33:26.920 --> 00:33:27.200
 and you

00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:28.259
 can't control

00:33:28.259 --> 00:33:28.379
 it.

00:33:28.420 --> 00:33:28.920
 That's compassion,

00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:29.519
 it's an emotion.

00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:30.779
 But it is

00:33:30.779 --> 00:33:32.879
 hard because

00:33:32.879 --> 00:33:33.680
 sometimes we

00:33:33.680 --> 00:33:34.920
 feel alongside

00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:35.639
 the tug of

00:33:35.639 --> 00:33:36.240
 compassion,

00:33:36.980 --> 00:33:37.839
 we feel the

00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:38.279
 tug of

00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:39.899
 busyness and

00:33:39.899 --> 00:33:41.659
 inconvenience and

00:33:41.659 --> 00:33:42.480
 not knowing

00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:43.099
 quite how to

00:33:43.099 --> 00:33:44.460
 help and

00:33:44.460 --> 00:33:45.740
 well just

00:33:45.740 --> 00:33:47.379
 greed and

00:33:47.379 --> 00:33:48.240
 laziness.

00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:50.039
 Being compassionate

00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:50.740
 is a hard

00:33:50.740 --> 00:33:52.019
 thing a lot

00:33:52.019 --> 00:33:52.460
 of the time.

00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:57.319
 sometimes you

00:33:57.319 --> 00:33:57.619
 need a bit

00:33:57.619 --> 00:33:58.139
 of a nudge

00:33:58.139 --> 00:33:58.619
 to get on

00:33:58.619 --> 00:33:59.159
 and do

00:33:59.159 --> 00:34:00.680
 hard things

00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:02.019
 which strangely

00:34:02.019 --> 00:34:02.759
 enough is why

00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:03.680
 two young

00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:04.460
 teenage guys

00:34:04.460 --> 00:34:05.059
 recently wrote

00:34:05.059 --> 00:34:05.899
 a book called

00:34:05.899 --> 00:34:06.740
 Do Hard

00:34:06.740 --> 00:34:07.119
 Things,

00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:08.000
 great title.

00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:08.759
 I don't know

00:34:08.759 --> 00:34:09.019
 if you've

00:34:09.019 --> 00:34:09.340
 read this

00:34:09.340 --> 00:34:09.559
 book,

00:34:09.699 --> 00:34:09.980
 has anyone

00:34:09.980 --> 00:34:10.380
 read this

00:34:10.380 --> 00:34:10.759
 book Do

00:34:10.759 --> 00:34:11.019
 Hard

00:34:11.019 --> 00:34:11.340
 Things?

00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:12.500
 There you

00:34:12.500 --> 00:34:12.699
 go,

00:34:12.779 --> 00:34:13.179
 I can tell

00:34:13.179 --> 00:34:13.480
 you whatever

00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:14.039
 I like.

00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:15.259
 I think

00:34:15.259 --> 00:34:15.940
 it's a fair

00:34:15.940 --> 00:34:16.420
 enough book,

00:34:16.539 --> 00:34:17.420
 it came from

00:34:17.420 --> 00:34:17.880
 a couple of

00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:18.480
 teenage guys

00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:18.840
 who looked

00:34:18.840 --> 00:34:19.179
 around at

00:34:19.179 --> 00:34:19.820
 their generation

00:34:19.820 --> 00:34:20.900
 and said

00:34:20.900 --> 00:34:21.940
 huh,

00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:23.059
 you know

00:34:23.059 --> 00:34:23.480
 we really

00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:23.920
 don't do

00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:25.180
 much apart

00:34:25.180 --> 00:34:26.120
 from study

00:34:26.120 --> 00:34:27.320
 and Playstation

00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:28.400
 and then they

00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:28.760
 looked around

00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:29.580
 at society

00:34:29.580 --> 00:34:31.180
 and they

00:34:31.180 --> 00:34:31.920
 thought huh,

00:34:32.620 --> 00:34:33.220
 you know society

00:34:33.220 --> 00:34:33.740
 doesn't actually

00:34:33.740 --> 00:34:34.880
 expect much

00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:35.519
 of us apart

00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:36.180
 from study

00:34:36.180 --> 00:34:37.059
 and Playstation

00:34:37.059 --> 00:34:38.019
 and maybe

00:34:38.019 --> 00:34:38.780
 taking out

00:34:38.780 --> 00:34:39.160
 the trash.

00:34:40.019 --> 00:34:40.840
 That might be

00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:41.180
 an unfair

00:34:41.180 --> 00:34:41.920
 caricature of

00:34:41.920 --> 00:34:42.220
 you if you're

00:34:42.220 --> 00:34:42.539
 a teenager

00:34:42.539 --> 00:34:42.940
 so I really

00:34:42.940 --> 00:34:43.300
 apologise.

00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:44.260
 But they

00:34:44.260 --> 00:34:44.920
 wrote a book

00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:45.519
 to say hey

00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:47.000
 let's pick

00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:47.699
 some hard

00:34:47.699 --> 00:34:48.719
 good things

00:34:48.719 --> 00:34:49.179
 to do.

00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:50.139
 Things that

00:34:50.139 --> 00:34:50.980
 aren't just

00:34:50.980 --> 00:34:51.659
 study,

00:34:52.019 --> 00:34:52.420
 that aren't

00:34:52.420 --> 00:34:53.159
 just recreation

00:34:53.159 --> 00:34:53.900
 and that aren't

00:34:53.900 --> 00:34:55.199
 just doing

00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:55.860
 what our parents

00:34:55.860 --> 00:34:56.440
 kind of asked

00:34:56.440 --> 00:34:56.759
 us to do

00:34:56.759 --> 00:34:57.039
 around the

00:34:57.039 --> 00:34:57.199
 house.

00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:57.679
 Let's pick

00:34:57.679 --> 00:34:58.139
 some big

00:34:58.139 --> 00:34:58.579
 stuff.

00:34:59.039 --> 00:34:59.460
 Let's pick

00:34:59.460 --> 00:35:00.259
 some across

00:35:00.259 --> 00:35:00.940
 the country

00:35:00.940 --> 00:35:01.559
 stuff.

00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:02.239
 Let's pick

00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:02.759
 some stuff

00:35:02.759 --> 00:35:03.139
 that's not

00:35:03.139 --> 00:35:03.519
 getting done

00:35:03.519 --> 00:35:03.900
 by anybody

00:35:03.900 --> 00:35:04.320
 else and

00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:04.759
 do it.

00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:05.659
 And so they

00:35:05.659 --> 00:35:06.079
 write this

00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:06.440
 book to

00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:07.440
 encourage young

00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:08.259
 people and

00:35:08.259 --> 00:35:08.820
 all the like

00:35:08.820 --> 00:35:09.480
 to get on

00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:09.860
 and do that

00:35:09.860 --> 00:35:10.559
 kind of stuff.

00:35:11.099 --> 00:35:11.400
 Now if you

00:35:11.400 --> 00:35:11.900
 ask me I

00:35:11.900 --> 00:35:12.360
 think at

00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:13.360
 certain times

00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:14.280
 the book

00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:14.780
 probably goes

00:35:14.780 --> 00:35:15.280
 a little bit

00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:15.900
 too far

00:35:15.900 --> 00:35:16.240
 down the

00:35:16.240 --> 00:35:16.560
 line of

00:35:16.560 --> 00:35:17.180
 the best

00:35:17.180 --> 00:35:17.500
 thing you

00:35:17.500 --> 00:35:17.760
 can do

00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:18.000
 with your

00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:18.460
 life is

00:35:18.460 --> 00:35:19.019
 just be

00:35:19.019 --> 00:35:19.480
 productive.

00:35:20.240 --> 00:35:21.060
 But apart

00:35:21.060 --> 00:35:21.340
 from that

00:35:21.340 --> 00:35:21.580
 they have

00:35:21.580 --> 00:35:22.220
 one section

00:35:22.220 --> 00:35:22.500
 kind of

00:35:22.500 --> 00:35:22.780
 like a

00:35:22.780 --> 00:35:23.060
 third of

00:35:23.060 --> 00:35:23.320
 the book

00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:24.000
 which is

00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:24.480
 I think

00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:25.600
 really good.

00:35:25.780 --> 00:35:25.980
 It's got

00:35:25.980 --> 00:35:26.340
 some helpful

00:35:26.340 --> 00:35:26.740
 stuff.

00:35:27.120 --> 00:35:27.580
 It's called

00:35:27.580 --> 00:35:28.640
 five kinds

00:35:28.640 --> 00:35:29.300
 of hard

00:35:29.300 --> 00:35:29.900
 things.

00:35:30.300 --> 00:35:31.340
 Five kinds

00:35:31.340 --> 00:35:32.240
 of hard

00:35:32.240 --> 00:35:32.920
 things that

00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:33.280
 there are

00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:33.640
 in the world

00:35:33.640 --> 00:35:33.940
 to do.

00:35:34.160 --> 00:35:34.640
 They say

00:35:34.640 --> 00:35:35.620
 there are

00:35:35.620 --> 00:35:36.300
 hard things

00:35:36.300 --> 00:35:36.780
 that take

00:35:36.780 --> 00:35:37.260
 you outside

00:35:37.260 --> 00:35:37.920
 your comfort

00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:38.300
 zone.

00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:39.720
 There are

00:35:39.720 --> 00:35:40.460
 hard things

00:35:40.460 --> 00:35:40.860
 that go

00:35:40.860 --> 00:35:41.540
 beyond what's

00:35:41.540 --> 00:35:42.320
 expected or

00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:43.240
 required of

00:35:43.240 --> 00:35:43.480
 you.

00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:45.440
 there are

00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:46.119
 hard things

00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:48.039
 that are too

00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:49.360
 big for you

00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:50.300
 to do by

00:35:50.300 --> 00:35:50.780
 yourself.

00:35:51.500 --> 00:35:52.179
 There are

00:35:52.179 --> 00:35:52.860
 hard things

00:35:52.860 --> 00:35:53.240
 that don't

00:35:53.240 --> 00:35:53.639
 pay off

00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:54.219
 immediately

00:35:54.219 --> 00:35:55.940
 and there

00:35:55.940 --> 00:35:56.300
 are also

00:35:56.300 --> 00:35:56.980
 hard things

00:35:56.980 --> 00:35:57.340
 that go

00:35:57.340 --> 00:35:57.800
 against the

00:35:57.800 --> 00:35:58.199
 crowd.

00:35:59.659 --> 00:36:00.039
 So we've

00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:01.059
 got outside

00:36:01.059 --> 00:36:01.519
 of comfort

00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:02.360
 zone, beyond

00:36:02.360 --> 00:36:03.099
 what's expected,

00:36:03.440 --> 00:36:03.980
 too big for

00:36:03.980 --> 00:36:04.320
 you to do

00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:04.659
 alone.

00:36:06.099 --> 00:36:06.599
 Excuse me.

00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:08.159
 They don't pay

00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:08.740
 off immediately

00:36:08.739 --> 00:36:10.479
 and they

00:36:10.479 --> 00:36:10.839
 go against

00:36:10.839 --> 00:36:11.259
 the crowd.

00:36:11.579 --> 00:36:11.879
 And obviously

00:36:11.879 --> 00:36:13.299
 you've got a

00:36:13.299 --> 00:36:13.819
 mix of those

00:36:13.819 --> 00:36:14.199
 things and a

00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:14.359
 lot of

00:36:14.359 --> 00:36:14.699
 different things

00:36:14.699 --> 00:36:14.899
 we look

00:36:14.899 --> 00:36:15.159
 around and

00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:15.379
 think are

00:36:15.379 --> 00:36:15.619
 hard.

00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:16.439
 Now do

00:36:16.439 --> 00:36:16.779
 they sound

00:36:16.779 --> 00:36:17.379
 familiar to

00:36:17.379 --> 00:36:17.679
 you?

00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:20.079
 Because they

00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:20.479
 sound familiar

00:36:20.479 --> 00:36:20.979
 to me.

00:36:21.219 --> 00:36:21.699
 Because they

00:36:21.699 --> 00:36:22.219
 are five

00:36:22.219 --> 00:36:22.879
 reasons why

00:36:22.879 --> 00:36:23.179
 I'm not

00:36:23.179 --> 00:36:23.679
 compassionate.

00:36:25.459 --> 00:36:25.859
 Because

00:36:25.859 --> 00:36:26.639
 sometimes

00:36:26.639 --> 00:36:27.959
 showing compassion

00:36:27.959 --> 00:36:28.579
 to someone

00:36:28.579 --> 00:36:29.959
 who I see

00:36:29.959 --> 00:36:30.619
 on the way

00:36:30.619 --> 00:36:31.079
 from A to

00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:31.719
 B, someone

00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:32.439
 on the street,

00:36:33.439 --> 00:36:34.019
 someone in a

00:36:34.019 --> 00:36:36.199
 fight with

00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:37.779
 somebody, you

00:36:37.780 --> 00:36:38.120
 see these

00:36:38.120 --> 00:36:38.360
 people and

00:36:38.360 --> 00:36:38.500
 you think

00:36:38.500 --> 00:36:39.519
 well it's

00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:39.980
 just outside

00:36:39.980 --> 00:36:40.200
 of my

00:36:40.200 --> 00:36:40.580
 comfort zone.

00:36:40.660 --> 00:36:40.860
 I don't

00:36:40.860 --> 00:36:41.280
 want to get

00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:41.760
 involved in

00:36:41.760 --> 00:36:41.980
 that.

00:36:42.540 --> 00:36:43.380
 Sometimes I

00:36:43.380 --> 00:36:43.800
 think well

00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:44.720
 no one really

00:36:44.720 --> 00:36:45.340
 expects me to

00:36:45.340 --> 00:36:47.400
 do this, to

00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:48.780
 help here, to

00:36:48.780 --> 00:36:50.160
 give there, to

00:36:50.160 --> 00:36:50.920
 give time

00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:51.380
 somewhere else.

00:36:51.460 --> 00:36:52.300
 No one expects

00:36:52.300 --> 00:36:52.720
 me to do that

00:36:52.720 --> 00:36:53.360
 so I can get

00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:54.000
 away with not

00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:54.420
 doing it.

00:36:55.019 --> 00:36:55.980
 It's too big

00:36:55.980 --> 00:36:56.400
 for me to do

00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:56.740
 alone.

00:36:57.040 --> 00:36:58.100
 I can't fix

00:36:58.100 --> 00:36:58.780
 the problems

00:36:58.780 --> 00:36:59.960
 of the Dalit

00:36:59.960 --> 00:37:01.019
 caste in

00:37:01.019 --> 00:37:01.820
 India, the

00:37:01.820 --> 00:37:03.240
 untouchables, who

00:37:03.240 --> 00:37:04.540
 it's an insult

00:37:04.540 --> 00:37:05.380
 for their shadow

00:37:05.380 --> 00:37:06.720
 to fall on other

00:37:06.720 --> 00:37:07.260
 people in the

00:37:07.260 --> 00:37:07.600
 country.

00:37:07.780 --> 00:37:08.240
 That's too

00:37:08.240 --> 00:37:09.040
 big for me to

00:37:09.040 --> 00:37:10.860
 fix by myself.

00:37:11.700 --> 00:37:12.420
 So I won't

00:37:12.420 --> 00:37:13.480
 worry about that.

00:37:14.540 --> 00:37:15.080
 They don't pay

00:37:15.080 --> 00:37:15.640
 off immediately.

00:37:16.560 --> 00:37:17.260
 I won't even

00:37:17.260 --> 00:37:17.780
 see the end of

00:37:17.780 --> 00:37:18.260
 this problem

00:37:18.260 --> 00:37:19.740
 before I die.

00:37:21.080 --> 00:37:21.740
 And they go

00:37:21.740 --> 00:37:22.120
 against the

00:37:22.120 --> 00:37:22.340
 crowd.

00:37:22.420 --> 00:37:22.760
 You know how

00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:23.519
 bad I'm going

00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:25.240
 to look if I

00:37:25.240 --> 00:37:26.440
 associate with

00:37:26.440 --> 00:37:27.740
 this guy, if I

00:37:27.740 --> 00:37:28.420
 break off from

00:37:28.420 --> 00:37:29.900
 my friends to

00:37:29.900 --> 00:37:30.740
 go over there

00:37:30.740 --> 00:37:32.019
 and be with

00:37:32.019 --> 00:37:32.480
 that woman.

00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:39.079
 now if those

00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:39.840
 things do sound

00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:40.539
 familiar to you

00:37:40.539 --> 00:37:42.139
 as they do

00:37:42.139 --> 00:37:43.619
 to me, then

00:37:43.619 --> 00:37:44.199
 we need to

00:37:44.199 --> 00:37:45.500
 remember the

00:37:45.500 --> 00:37:46.699
 cross of

00:37:46.699 --> 00:37:47.039
 Jesus.

00:37:48.039 --> 00:37:48.860
 We need to

00:37:48.860 --> 00:37:49.940
 remember that

00:37:49.940 --> 00:37:51.059
 that was hard.

00:37:52.240 --> 00:37:52.900
 We need to

00:37:52.900 --> 00:37:53.539
 remember how

00:37:53.539 --> 00:37:55.800
 generous Jesus

00:37:55.800 --> 00:37:57.380
 was to bleed

00:37:57.380 --> 00:37:59.019
 away for us.

00:37:59.019 --> 00:38:00.619
 we need to

00:38:00.619 --> 00:38:01.400
 remember that

00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:01.980
 when he was

00:38:01.980 --> 00:38:02.639
 nailed to that

00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:03.599
 cross, our

00:38:03.599 --> 00:38:05.320
 sin and fear

00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:07.699
 of being

00:38:07.699 --> 00:38:08.440
 lowered in

00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:09.380
 society and

00:38:09.380 --> 00:38:10.360
 our selfishness

00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:11.340
 and greed and

00:38:11.340 --> 00:38:12.360
 unwillingness to be

00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:13.320
 compassionate was

00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:14.780
 nailed with him

00:38:14.780 --> 00:38:15.259
 up there.

00:38:15.260 --> 00:38:18.160
 and we need to

00:38:18.160 --> 00:38:18.660
 remember that

00:38:18.660 --> 00:38:19.180
 when he came

00:38:19.180 --> 00:38:20.300
 back to life, he

00:38:20.300 --> 00:38:21.720
 gave us new

00:38:21.720 --> 00:38:22.900
 life in his

00:38:22.900 --> 00:38:24.280
 image, his

00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:26.080
 perfect God

00:38:26.080 --> 00:38:27.580
 loving image and

00:38:27.580 --> 00:38:28.760
 he gives us the

00:38:28.760 --> 00:38:31.220
 strength to go

00:38:31.220 --> 00:38:32.340
 on being

00:38:32.340 --> 00:38:33.000
 compassionate,

00:38:34.120 --> 00:38:35.460
 being merciful and

00:38:35.460 --> 00:38:37.020
 loving, to

00:38:37.020 --> 00:38:38.500
 break those

00:38:38.500 --> 00:38:41.600
 hard barriers of

00:38:41.600 --> 00:38:42.960
 comfort zones and

00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:44.480
 expectations and

00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:45.400
 too big to do

00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:45.860
 alone.

00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:47.539
 He breaks

00:38:47.539 --> 00:38:47.860
 that.

00:38:51.980 --> 00:38:52.800
 Now, time and

00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:53.500
 time again, when I

00:38:53.500 --> 00:38:54.659
 talk to people who

00:38:54.659 --> 00:38:55.980
 don't know Jesus

00:38:55.980 --> 00:38:57.960
 and I ask them

00:38:57.960 --> 00:38:58.860
 what they think

00:38:58.860 --> 00:38:59.519
 about Christianity,

00:38:59.740 --> 00:39:00.199
 what they think

00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:00.900
 about the church,

00:39:01.139 --> 00:39:02.000
 time and time

00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:02.780
 again, what

00:39:02.780 --> 00:39:03.780
 surprises me and

00:39:03.780 --> 00:39:04.840
 disappoints me is

00:39:04.840 --> 00:39:05.679
 they can tell me a

00:39:05.679 --> 00:39:06.380
 lot more about what

00:39:06.380 --> 00:39:06.920
 the church is

00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:09.139
 against than

00:39:09.139 --> 00:39:10.019
 what it's for.

00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:15.940
 Now, let's

00:39:15.940 --> 00:39:16.480
 break that, eh?

00:39:17.679 --> 00:39:19.360
 Let's break that

00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:20.019
 perception.

00:39:20.440 --> 00:39:21.079
 Now, I know a lot

00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:21.800
 of it is because the

00:39:21.800 --> 00:39:22.539
 devil really doesn't

00:39:22.539 --> 00:39:23.539
 want the world to

00:39:23.539 --> 00:39:24.460
 realise that Jesus'

00:39:24.619 --> 00:39:26.139
 people are his and

00:39:26.139 --> 00:39:27.420
 are like him and

00:39:27.420 --> 00:39:28.699
 will change the

00:39:28.699 --> 00:39:29.599
 world on his

00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:31.400
 behalf through his

00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:31.940
 spirit.

00:39:33.940 --> 00:39:34.840
 But at the same

00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:37.619
 time, let's not

00:39:37.619 --> 00:39:38.860
 give people a

00:39:38.860 --> 00:39:40.840
 reason to think

00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:42.260
 that the church

00:39:42.260 --> 00:39:43.760
 isn't for helping

00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:46.400
 people, that the

00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:47.380
 church isn't for

00:39:47.380 --> 00:39:48.539
 going out of its

00:39:48.539 --> 00:39:49.940
 way, that the

00:39:49.940 --> 00:39:51.039
 church isn't really

00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:53.579
 about being

00:39:53.579 --> 00:39:54.220
 generous.

00:39:55.800 --> 00:39:57.000
 Let's stop people

00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:57.660
 from having that

00:39:57.660 --> 00:39:59.680
 excuse to think

00:39:59.680 --> 00:40:00.160
 that way.

00:40:02.579 --> 00:40:03.559
 What's the last

00:40:03.559 --> 00:40:05.260
 verse in the

00:40:05.260 --> 00:40:05.720
 passage that was

00:40:05.720 --> 00:40:06.340
 read out to us?

00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:08.820
 Go and do

00:40:08.820 --> 00:40:09.680
 likewise.

00:40:10.840 --> 00:40:11.400
 Why don't we

00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:11.600
 pray?

00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:21.220
 Our Lord Jesus,

00:40:21.340 --> 00:40:22.140
 when we look at

00:40:22.140 --> 00:40:23.079
 your life and

00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:24.440
 your death and

00:40:24.440 --> 00:40:25.260
 your resurrection,

00:40:25.660 --> 00:40:26.720
 we're blown away

00:40:26.720 --> 00:40:28.539
 by the

00:40:28.539 --> 00:40:29.620
 generosity and

00:40:29.620 --> 00:40:30.200
 the compassion

00:40:30.200 --> 00:40:31.260
 that you've had

00:40:31.260 --> 00:40:31.720
 on us.

00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:33.680
 And Lord, we

00:40:33.680 --> 00:40:34.480
 praise you for

00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:36.039
 the new life that

00:40:36.039 --> 00:40:36.740
 we have in you

00:40:36.740 --> 00:40:37.800
 and how through

00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:38.620
 your spirit you

00:40:38.620 --> 00:40:39.380
 are making us

00:40:39.380 --> 00:40:40.100
 in your image.

00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:41.559
 Lord, we pray

00:40:41.559 --> 00:40:42.440
 that we might

00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:43.240
 step out this

00:40:43.240 --> 00:40:44.760
 week looking

00:40:44.760 --> 00:40:45.600
 like you in

00:40:45.600 --> 00:40:46.320
 how compassionate

00:40:46.320 --> 00:40:47.800
 we are, in

00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:49.640
 turning away from

00:40:49.640 --> 00:40:50.780
 the temptations

00:40:50.780 --> 00:40:52.039
 that we don't

00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:52.600
 need to be

00:40:52.600 --> 00:40:54.140
 compassionate and

00:40:54.140 --> 00:40:55.720
 the fears of

00:40:55.720 --> 00:40:56.880
 how difficult

00:40:56.880 --> 00:40:57.720
 being compassionate

00:40:57.720 --> 00:40:59.440
 is sometimes.

00:41:00.300 --> 00:41:00.900
 And Lord, we

00:41:00.900 --> 00:41:02.579
 pray that as we

00:41:02.579 --> 00:41:03.660
 reflect on the

00:41:03.660 --> 00:41:04.620
 gospel of how

00:41:04.620 --> 00:41:05.720
 you've saved us,

00:41:05.719 --> 00:41:06.719
 that you would

00:41:06.719 --> 00:41:07.659
 drive us out

00:41:07.659 --> 00:41:09.039
 to live as

00:41:09.039 --> 00:41:10.799
 people who

00:41:10.799 --> 00:41:12.119
 love you with

00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:12.599
 all of our

00:41:12.599 --> 00:41:13.980
 heart and our

00:41:13.980 --> 00:41:14.819
 soul and our

00:41:14.819 --> 00:41:15.519
 mind and our

00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:16.919
 strength and

00:41:16.919 --> 00:41:18.519
 who love our

00:41:18.519 --> 00:41:18.959
 neighbours.

00:41:20.959 --> 00:41:21.599
 Amen.

00:41:21.599 --> 00:41:26.139
 Let's pray will

00:41:26.139 --> 00:41:29.659
 pray 2 and

00:41:29.659 --> 00:41:31.779
 pray 2 again.

00:41:31.940 --> 00:41:34.319
 Thank you.
