00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:46.799
 Philippians chapter 2, as we continue on in our series here of Paul's letter to the Philippian church.

00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:57.939
 This passage, as you know, is one of the most helpful and most concise explanations of the identity of Jesus

00:00:57.939 --> 00:01:04.280
 and the salvation that he has provided to us through his death on the cross.

00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:05.579
 Paul says,

00:01:05.579 --> 00:01:14.920
 And remember, there's a parenthetical here.

00:01:15.459 --> 00:01:17.700
 If there is consolation in Christ, and there is.

00:01:18.099 --> 00:01:20.019
 If any comfort of love, and there is.

00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:20.879
 So on and so forth.

00:01:21.539 --> 00:01:21.879
 He says,

00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:30.819
 Because of that, fulfill my joy that you be like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord and of one mind.

00:01:31.699 --> 00:01:37.679
 Let nothing be done through strife or vain glory, but in lowliness of mind.

00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:40.919
 Let each esteem others better than themselves.

00:01:41.939 --> 00:01:46.579
 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

00:01:46.579 --> 00:01:53.920
 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, who being in the form of God,

00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:59.879
 thought it not robbery to be equal with God, but made himself of no reputation,

00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:05.439
 took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men.

00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:13.079
 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death,

00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:14.919
 even the death of the cross.

00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:21.659
 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name,

00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:27.719
 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth,

00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:34.519
 and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,

00:02:35.099 --> 00:02:37.459
 to the glory of God the Father.

00:02:37.460 --> 00:02:47.040
 Now, Paul's first and primary intention in writing these verses in this particular set of doctrinal statements

00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:56.700
 wasn't so much to just give a description and really a miniature doctrinal treatise of the person of Christ.

00:02:57.060 --> 00:03:03.560
 His first intention, as we see in verse 5, was really to give an example to the Philippian believers

00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:09.900
 of how they were to humbly submit to one another and be unified together as believers.

00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:13.219
 That's what we talked about last week in the first four verses.

00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:18.620
 It was all about loving one another, submitting to one another, being unified as a church family.

00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:20.060
 And we get to verse 5.

00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.159
 Paul isn't just completely changing the subject all of a sudden.

00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:28.979
 And what he's doing is saying, since this is what it takes for you to live a gospel-worthy life,

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.680
 to be unified together and to love one another,

00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:35.300
 you should pattern this after what we see in the person of Christ.

00:03:35.300 --> 00:03:42.419
 And so he's connecting Jesus' life to the example of how we're to live out our lives as believers,

00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:44.800
 specifically within the local church.

00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:49.939
 Now, obviously, the supreme example of this humility in verses 3 and 4,

00:03:49.939 --> 00:03:52.840
 and this unity that Paul is referring to,

00:03:53.359 --> 00:03:56.699
 obviously, the supreme example of that is Jesus Christ.

00:03:57.460 --> 00:03:59.919
 And this text becomes one of the classical,

00:04:00.579 --> 00:04:03.979
 Christological passages of all the Bible.

00:04:05.180 --> 00:04:10.819
 Some people even have suggested that this was a hymn that was sung by the early church,

00:04:10.819 --> 00:04:15.900
 that it was so impactful and concise in the way that Paul presented these truths of Christ

00:04:15.900 --> 00:04:20.340
 that the early church on through the centuries began to sing these words

00:04:20.340 --> 00:04:23.379
 as a song, as a time of worship in their services.

00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.720
 But there is a balance that we have to take as we look at this passage,

00:04:27.860 --> 00:04:31.840
 just like there's a balance that we have to take when we look at any passage.

00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:37.660
 Now, my tendency is to dig so far into the doctrinal element of a various passage

00:04:37.660 --> 00:04:41.399
 that I leave off sometimes the practical applications of that passage.

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:43.639
 That's my personal tendency.

00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.439
 Others have the opposite tendency.

00:04:46.979 --> 00:04:51.639
 They want so much to be impacted by the practical application

00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:55.839
 that they never actually spend any time diving into the doctrinal instruction

00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:57.560
 that supports that practice.

00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:02.759
 So we could spend all of our time today just jumping into the person of Christ

00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:08.019
 for knowledge's sake as far as developing and increasing our knowledge of who he is.

00:05:08.419 --> 00:05:12.139
 But if we miss out on what Paul's intention in writing this is,

00:05:12.139 --> 00:05:13.680
 then we've missed out on the whole purpose.

00:05:14.300 --> 00:05:18.199
 If we study the Bible only to gain knowledge,

00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:21.479
 and we never apply that knowledge to practical living,

00:05:21.819 --> 00:05:23.539
 then what's the purpose of the knowledge?

00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:25.000
 It's wasted.

00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:32.279
 But if we come to the scriptures only looking for the top 10 things to make us a better father,

00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:36.659
 or the five ways to be a better parent,

00:05:36.739 --> 00:05:37.879
 or whatever it is,

00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:39.959
 if we're only looking for the practical,

00:05:40.599 --> 00:05:44.239
 then we miss out on the whole reason that our life has to be different anyways.

00:05:44.459 --> 00:05:46.339
 So we have to come to this passage with a balance.

00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.099
 We have to come with every passage with that particular balance.

00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.039
 And that's what I'm going to try to do today.

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.659
 Balance out the doctrine of who Jesus is

00:05:54.659 --> 00:05:58.559
 with the practical intention of why Paul cares to write about it here.

00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:01.720
 And that is because our lives are supposed to mimic his.

00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.000
 As we live our life within the church,

00:06:05.139 --> 00:06:10.079
 we're to be unified together because we exhibit the same humility that Christ has exhibited.

00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:11.639
 And then at the same time,

00:06:11.699 --> 00:06:14.939
 we certainly want to grow in our knowledge of Christ as well.

00:06:15.540 --> 00:06:20.399
 Now, the truths of these verses between 6 and 11

00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:25.340
 are really centered on the identity of Jesus and who he is.

00:06:25.339 --> 00:06:29.019
 And we'll deal with four facets of Christ's identity.

00:06:29.419 --> 00:06:31.959
 Three of them today in verses 6 through 8,

00:06:32.119 --> 00:06:36.299
 and the last one in verses 9 through 11,

00:06:36.459 --> 00:06:38.459
 we will deal with next Sunday.

00:06:38.620 --> 00:06:41.799
 So let's jump right into it before I take too much time, okay?

00:06:41.979 --> 00:06:43.879
 First thing we see here, verse number 6,

00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:45.259
 Jesus' identity.

00:06:46.239 --> 00:06:48.479
 Jesus is the sovereign God.

00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:52.219
 Jesus is the sovereign God.

00:06:52.620 --> 00:06:54.899
 Look with me again at verse number 6.

00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:57.319
 Paul says, or let's start at 5,

00:06:57.419 --> 00:07:01.000
 let this mind be in you, this humble mind, this unifying mind,

00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.019
 which was also in Christ Jesus,

00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.399
 who, being in the form of God,

00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:10.639
 thought it not robbery to be equal with God.

00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.219
 In verse number 6, we see Paul presenting the truth

00:07:14.219 --> 00:07:17.239
 that Jesus is divine.

00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:22.560
 He has the very nature and essence of God.

00:07:22.699 --> 00:07:25.019
 He is deity himself.

00:07:25.980 --> 00:07:30.079
 The humility of Jesus, as we study and apply this passage,

00:07:30.300 --> 00:07:35.680
 is only meaningful to us as we come to understand his true identity.

00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:40.840
 If we are to accept his life as the supreme example of humility,

00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:44.859
 then we must first acknowledge the fact of his deity,

00:07:45.359 --> 00:07:47.599
 that he is God.

00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:48.979
 And think about it.

00:07:49.479 --> 00:07:51.779
 If Jesus were merely a man,

00:07:52.339 --> 00:07:56.299
 why would we characterize his life as particularly humble?

00:07:56.819 --> 00:07:58.779
 It would actually be incorrect to do that.

00:07:58.779 --> 00:08:04.079
 Why in the world would we think that a seemingly insignificant person

00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.259
 born to an insignificant family,

00:08:07.019 --> 00:08:08.679
 in an insignificant place,

00:08:09.339 --> 00:08:11.719
 with a relatively insignificant career,

00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:16.179
 and a following of people that are mostly insignificant people,

00:08:16.180 --> 00:08:19.199
 why in the world would we think that that life is particularly humble?

00:08:19.980 --> 00:08:22.060
 If anything, we would look at the life of Jesus

00:08:22.060 --> 00:08:25.120
 and we would say he's actually probably exalted a little higher

00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:27.720
 than what most people born into that dynamic

00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:30.840
 with that particular story of life would be.

00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:33.480
 I mean, at least for a portion of his life,

00:08:33.539 --> 00:08:36.120
 he had a following of people that wanted to be around him,

00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:37.259
 people that wanted to see him,

00:08:37.299 --> 00:08:39.019
 and people that wanted to listen to him.

00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:40.899
 But if Jesus was only a man,

00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:42.200
 if that's all that he was,

00:08:42.299 --> 00:08:44.519
 why would we regard him as particularly humble?

00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:50.679
 The fact of Jesus' deity is what makes him infinitely spectacular.

00:08:51.579 --> 00:08:54.439
 It's what makes him infinitely significant.

00:08:54.980 --> 00:08:58.600
 The fact that Jesus first and foremost is God

00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:02.860
 is what actually makes him the supreme example of humility

00:09:02.860 --> 00:09:05.199
 in which we should pattern our own life.

00:09:06.379 --> 00:09:09.699
 The greatest satanic attack against Christianity

00:09:09.699 --> 00:09:13.960
 is the plethora of religions and philosophies

00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:17.620
 that try to rob Jesus of his divine nature.

00:09:18.860 --> 00:09:23.280
 The denial of his deity renders his life utterly purposeless.

00:09:24.259 --> 00:09:25.800
 If he's not God,

00:09:25.920 --> 00:09:30.500
 then why do we care to study what the Bible says about him?

00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.420
 The Bible then actually becomes useless.

00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:36.320
 If Jesus is not God,

00:09:36.400 --> 00:09:37.800
 then the Bible is a lie,

00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.979
 and we're wasting our time giving it any credibility at all.

00:09:42.959 --> 00:09:45.679
 The truth is we must stand firm as believers

00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.819
 on the truth of Jesus' identity

00:09:48.819 --> 00:09:53.679
 and defend it against the doctrinal errors

00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:59.240
 that have even begun to infiltrate the evangelical church in America.

00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:02.899
 John gives us the same instruction in his first epistle

00:10:02.899 --> 00:10:04.120
 in 1 John chapter 4.

00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:04.539
 He says,

00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:07.200
 Beloved, believe not every spirit.

00:10:07.680 --> 00:10:09.180
 By spirit, he means teacher

00:10:09.180 --> 00:10:12.000
 or person that is proclaiming truth in some way

00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:13.820
 or at least claiming to proclaim truth.

00:10:14.340 --> 00:10:15.460
 Believe not every spirit,

00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:17.340
 but try those spirits,

00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:18.539
 whether they are of God.

00:10:18.539 --> 00:10:22.059
 because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

00:10:22.299 --> 00:10:22.819
 And then he says,

00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:25.159
 here's how you know the spirit of God.

00:10:25.839 --> 00:10:27.919
 Every person that confesses

00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:31.519
 that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God.

00:10:32.079 --> 00:10:33.860
 Not just that Jesus is man,

00:10:33.939 --> 00:10:36.419
 but that Jesus has come to be man,

00:10:36.500 --> 00:10:37.879
 that he is the divine

00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.059
 that has taken on human flesh is of God.

00:10:41.059 --> 00:10:43.059
 And every spirit that confesses

00:10:43.059 --> 00:10:45.339
 not that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh

00:10:45.339 --> 00:10:47.459
 is not God.

00:10:47.460 --> 00:10:50.000
 And this is that spirit of Antichrist.

00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:52.080
 Where have you ever heard that it should come?

00:10:52.379 --> 00:10:54.680
 And even now already is in the world.

00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:57.460
 And we must be committed to understand

00:10:57.460 --> 00:10:58.460
 the doctrine of the Bibles

00:10:58.460 --> 00:11:00.220
 so that we can defend this truth

00:11:00.220 --> 00:11:03.660
 because our faith rests on this truth.

00:11:04.700 --> 00:11:06.460
 If we waver in this way

00:11:06.460 --> 00:11:09.400
 or we begin to accommodate friends and family

00:11:09.400 --> 00:11:10.460
 and other philosophies

00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:14.100
 and even maybe perhaps go along with other philosophies

00:11:14.100 --> 00:11:17.300
 that would rob Jesus of his divine nature

00:11:17.299 --> 00:11:21.059
 then we actually unsettle our entire faith

00:11:21.059 --> 00:11:22.399
 and make it pointless.

00:11:23.459 --> 00:11:26.919
 I wanna encourage us to be like the Bereans

00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:28.539
 in Acts chapter 17.

00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:33.859
 Paul and Silas were effectively run out of Thessalonica

00:11:33.859 --> 00:11:35.479
 and they go to Berea

00:11:35.479 --> 00:11:37.939
 and they find the synagogue of the Jews.

00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:39.599
 In Acts chapter 17,

00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:41.979
 it says that these Bereans were more noble

00:11:41.979 --> 00:11:43.299
 than those in Thessalonica

00:11:43.299 --> 00:11:45.399
 and that they received the word

00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:46.639
 with all readiness of mind

00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:47.579
 and here's what they did.

00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:50.199
 They searched the scriptures daily

00:11:50.199 --> 00:11:53.539
 whether those things were so.

00:11:54.539 --> 00:11:57.219
 Therefore, many of them believed.

00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:00.979
 Church, we have a responsibility to do this.

00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:04.779
 Our responsibility as believers

00:12:04.779 --> 00:12:05.740
 goes much further

00:12:05.740 --> 00:12:08.079
 than just our weekly gathering for worship.

00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:11.639
 There's a whole dynamic of life within church

00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:14.940
 and we're gonna get around to teaching a lot of that

00:12:14.940 --> 00:12:17.720
 but even beyond that,

00:12:18.139 --> 00:12:20.879
 we have a responsibility as Christians,

00:12:21.580 --> 00:12:22.780
 as believers,

00:12:23.740 --> 00:12:25.560
 to study out the scriptures

00:12:25.560 --> 00:12:27.420
 to see if these things are so

00:12:27.420 --> 00:12:30.100
 in order that we know the scripture

00:12:30.100 --> 00:12:32.160
 and stand firm on sound doctrine

00:12:32.160 --> 00:12:33.700
 and can preach the truth

00:12:33.700 --> 00:12:36.520
 even when those around us are polluted with error.

00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:39.759
 What does this passage actually say about his deity?

00:12:39.899 --> 00:12:41.000
 Two phrases actually.

00:12:41.079 --> 00:12:42.039
 The first one is this,

00:12:42.500 --> 00:12:43.840
 being in the form of God.

00:12:44.299 --> 00:12:44.939
 Look at verse six.

00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.519
 Jesus who being in the form of God.

00:12:49.439 --> 00:12:50.799
 This word form means

00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:52.439
 or is a reference

00:12:52.439 --> 00:12:54.699
 to the very essence of a person's nature.

00:12:55.379 --> 00:12:57.639
 It's their continuous state or condition.

00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:01.899
 When Paul says that Jesus existed in the form of God,

00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:04.019
 he meant that the very essence

00:13:04.019 --> 00:13:07.819
 of who Jesus was is completely God.

00:13:08.699 --> 00:13:10.819
 He possesses the nature of deity

00:13:10.819 --> 00:13:12.579
 to the fullest extent.

00:13:13.259 --> 00:13:13.919
 In other words,

00:13:14.019 --> 00:13:15.579
 if you want to see God,

00:13:16.220 --> 00:13:17.059
 look at Jesus.

00:13:18.439 --> 00:13:21.120
 If you want to know God,

00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:22.559
 study Jesus.

00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:25.819
 If you want to hear from God,

00:13:26.500 --> 00:13:28.879
 listen to the words of Jesus.

00:13:29.340 --> 00:13:31.600
 He is God.

00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.240
 The scriptures affirm this over and over again.

00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:36.220
 John chapter one,

00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:37.940
 in the beginning was the word

00:13:37.940 --> 00:13:38.920
 and the word was with God

00:13:38.920 --> 00:13:40.340
 as Kyle just read it a minute ago.

00:13:40.580 --> 00:13:41.060
 And then it says,

00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:41.879
 and the word,

00:13:42.040 --> 00:13:43.019
 another name for Jesus,

00:13:43.340 --> 00:13:44.279
 was God.

00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:47.899
 The same person was in the beginning with God

00:13:47.899 --> 00:13:50.480
 long before his birth in Bethlehem.

00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:53.659
 All things were made by him,

00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:54.680
 that is creation.

00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:57.740
 And without him was not anything made

00:13:57.740 --> 00:13:59.879
 that was made.

00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:00.759
 Clearly,

00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:02.419
 John is attesting to the fact

00:14:02.419 --> 00:14:04.360
 that Jesus was not merely a man,

00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:06.639
 that he existed long before his birth

00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:07.700
 in Bethlehem,

00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.139
 that Jesus is in fact God and creator.

00:14:11.860 --> 00:14:13.159
 The writer of Hebrews

00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:14.879
 at the very beginning of his book

00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:16.439
 in chapter one says that

00:14:16.439 --> 00:14:18.100
 God has spoken to us

00:14:18.100 --> 00:14:19.080
 by his son,

00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:19.600
 Jesus,

00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:22.799
 whom he appointed heir of all things,

00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:26.840
 through whom also he created the world.

00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.220
 that it was Jesus who was active in creation.

00:14:31.420 --> 00:14:31.860
 He says,

00:14:32.060 --> 00:14:34.600
 he is the radiance of the glory of God

00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:39.160
 and the exact imprint of God's nature.

00:14:40.280 --> 00:14:43.100
 He upholds the universe by the word of his power.

00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:46.100
 And after making purification for our sins,

00:14:46.220 --> 00:14:47.200
 dying on the cross,

00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:49.040
 he ascended back into heaven

00:14:49.040 --> 00:14:50.879
 where he sat down at the right hand

00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:52.240
 of the majesty on high,

00:14:52.340 --> 00:14:54.279
 where he sat back down

00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:55.500
 at the right hand

00:14:55.500 --> 00:14:57.159
 of the majesty on high.

00:14:57.299 --> 00:14:59.519
 The scriptures clearly affirm over and over,

00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:01.059
 Jesus was not just a man.

00:15:01.259 --> 00:15:03.159
 He is God himself.

00:15:04.700 --> 00:15:06.840
 Jesus explicitly made this claim.

00:15:08.139 --> 00:15:09.679
 In John chapter 17,

00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:12.399
 he prayed to his father and said,

00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:14.039
 glorify me in your presence

00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:16.620
 with the glory that I had with you

00:15:16.620 --> 00:15:18.480
 before the world existed.

00:15:20.500 --> 00:15:22.179
 In John chapter 10,

00:15:22.779 --> 00:15:23.699
 Jesus said,

00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:25.659
 my sheep hear my voice

00:15:25.659 --> 00:15:27.039
 and I know them

00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:28.919
 and they follow me.

00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:30.139
 And then he says,

00:15:30.599 --> 00:15:34.000
 and I give them eternal life.

00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:36.879
 No man has power

00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:39.699
 to give another human being eternal life.

00:15:39.700 --> 00:15:44.259
 That power rests solely in God's power.

00:15:45.500 --> 00:15:47.200
 And here in John chapter 10,

00:15:47.340 --> 00:15:48.300
 Jesus is saying,

00:15:49.020 --> 00:15:50.280
 in his divinity claim,

00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:52.100
 I am that God

00:15:52.100 --> 00:15:53.400
 and I am the one

00:15:53.400 --> 00:15:56.080
 that gives believers eternal life.

00:15:56.700 --> 00:15:57.860
 And he goes on and he says,

00:15:58.160 --> 00:15:59.240
 they shall never perish,

00:15:59.700 --> 00:16:00.720
 neither shall any man

00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:01.860
 pluck them out of my hand.

00:16:02.100 --> 00:16:03.660
 My father which gave them me

00:16:03.660 --> 00:16:04.759
 is greater than all

00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:06.240
 and no man is able

00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:07.680
 to pluck them out of his hand.

00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:08.900
 And then he says,

00:16:08.899 --> 00:16:12.959
 I and my father are one.

00:16:13.419 --> 00:16:14.620
 The same person

00:16:14.620 --> 00:16:16.120
 by his own claim.

00:16:17.319 --> 00:16:18.419
 And then here's what happened

00:16:18.419 --> 00:16:19.899
 in John chapter 10,

00:16:20.319 --> 00:16:21.079
 very next verse.

00:16:21.319 --> 00:16:23.419
 Then the Jews took up stones

00:16:23.419 --> 00:16:25.019
 to stone him.

00:16:26.439 --> 00:16:27.720
 They hated him,

00:16:27.860 --> 00:16:30.100
 not because of his messianic claim.

00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:31.860
 The Jews then

00:16:31.860 --> 00:16:33.100
 and even the Jews today

00:16:33.100 --> 00:16:35.319
 don't mind that Jesus claimed

00:16:35.319 --> 00:16:36.240
 to be a Messiah.

00:16:37.139 --> 00:16:37.939
 They will tell you,

00:16:37.940 --> 00:16:39.540
 we've had lots of Messiahs

00:16:39.540 --> 00:16:40.100
 through the year.

00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:42.060
 We've had lots of saviors

00:16:42.060 --> 00:16:42.600
 through the year

00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:43.500
 in one way or another.

00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:44.880
 Their problem with Jesus

00:16:44.880 --> 00:16:46.260
 is his divinity claim.

00:16:46.940 --> 00:16:47.720
 They didn't start

00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:48.640
 to pick up the rocks

00:16:48.640 --> 00:16:49.520
 until Jesus said,

00:16:49.760 --> 00:16:50.780
 I and the father are one.

00:16:51.760 --> 00:16:53.180
 I give eternal life.

00:16:53.420 --> 00:16:54.900
 I forgive sins.

00:16:55.060 --> 00:16:56.600
 It wasn't his messianic claim.

00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:57.380
 It was the fact

00:16:57.380 --> 00:16:58.040
 that he said

00:16:58.040 --> 00:16:59.120
 that he was God.

00:17:00.280 --> 00:17:01.680
 And it's the same reason

00:17:01.680 --> 00:17:03.460
 that people hate him now.

00:17:04.460 --> 00:17:05.360
 It's not because

00:17:05.360 --> 00:17:06.940
 he was a great teacher.

00:17:07.120 --> 00:17:07.779
 It's not because

00:17:07.779 --> 00:17:09.200
 of some prophetic element

00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:10.240
 that they think that he had.

00:17:10.299 --> 00:17:11.720
 It's because he claimed

00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:12.980
 to be God.

00:17:13.120 --> 00:17:14.579
 And if Jesus is God,

00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:15.740
 then as man,

00:17:15.840 --> 00:17:17.299
 we are accountable to him

00:17:17.299 --> 00:17:18.240
 and we are accountable

00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:19.059
 to his teaching.

00:17:19.620 --> 00:17:21.180
 But it's for this very reason

00:17:21.180 --> 00:17:22.860
 that we cannot come casually

00:17:22.860 --> 00:17:24.340
 to the person of Jesus.

00:17:24.339 --> 00:17:27.439
 It is improper

00:17:27.439 --> 00:17:28.399
 to come to Jesus

00:17:28.399 --> 00:17:29.740
 and say that Jesus

00:17:29.740 --> 00:17:31.159
 was just a good teacher

00:17:31.159 --> 00:17:33.159
 or that he was a moral man

00:17:33.159 --> 00:17:34.119
 or that he was a prophet

00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:35.039
 in some way.

00:17:35.399 --> 00:17:36.379
 Jesus himself

00:17:36.379 --> 00:17:37.119
 made a claim

00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:38.119
 of being deity.

00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:39.539
 Either he's a liar

00:17:39.539 --> 00:17:40.799
 and a fanatic

00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:43.039
 or he truly is God.

00:17:43.159 --> 00:17:44.000
 There's no in between.

00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:45.699
 And we must all

00:17:45.699 --> 00:17:46.439
 make that decision

00:17:46.439 --> 00:17:47.119
 of whether we're going

00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:47.679
 to trust him

00:17:47.679 --> 00:17:49.220
 as God and Savior

00:17:49.220 --> 00:17:50.199
 or whether,

00:17:50.379 --> 00:17:51.559
 like the Jews would say,

00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:53.419
 he is an imposter.

00:17:54.339 --> 00:17:54.980
 And a liar

00:17:54.980 --> 00:17:57.059
 and a perverter

00:17:57.059 --> 00:17:58.519
 of the faith.

00:18:00.059 --> 00:18:01.379
 That's the first mention

00:18:01.379 --> 00:18:02.279
 in verse six

00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:03.359
 that he's in the form of God.

00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:04.399
 The second one

00:18:04.399 --> 00:18:06.159
 is a little bit different.

00:18:06.699 --> 00:18:07.720
 Thought it not robbery

00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:08.899
 to be equal with God,

00:18:08.939 --> 00:18:09.399
 it says.

00:18:10.419 --> 00:18:12.019
 This is Paul's statement

00:18:12.019 --> 00:18:13.779
 and introduction

00:18:13.779 --> 00:18:15.839
 to Paul's description

00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:17.220
 of Jesus' humility.

00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:18.959
 But his humility

00:18:18.959 --> 00:18:19.539
 doesn't matter

00:18:19.539 --> 00:18:20.519
 if we don't understand

00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:21.379
 his divinity.

00:18:21.380 --> 00:18:24.580
 Now, Paul says,

00:18:25.080 --> 00:18:26.600
 in that divinity,

00:18:28.320 --> 00:18:29.380
 Christ willingly

00:18:29.380 --> 00:18:30.620
 humbled himself

00:18:30.620 --> 00:18:32.420
 and set aside

00:18:32.420 --> 00:18:33.220
 the benefits

00:18:33.220 --> 00:18:34.820
 of that divine nature

00:18:34.820 --> 00:18:36.760
 in order that he might

00:18:36.760 --> 00:18:38.500
 provide salvation

00:18:38.500 --> 00:18:39.980
 for us.

00:18:41.340 --> 00:18:42.740
 That's the humility

00:18:42.740 --> 00:18:43.380
 of Christ.

00:18:45.660 --> 00:18:46.980
 The phrasing

00:18:46.980 --> 00:18:47.840
 is a little bit odd.

00:18:48.280 --> 00:18:48.880
 If you've got

00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:49.220
 one of those

00:18:49.220 --> 00:18:49.960
 scripture journals,

00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:50.980
 it probably says

00:18:50.980 --> 00:18:52.000
 something to the effect

00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:53.759
 of he did not

00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:54.779
 count equality

00:18:54.779 --> 00:18:55.259
 with God

00:18:55.259 --> 00:18:55.700
 as something

00:18:55.700 --> 00:18:56.720
 to be grasped.

00:18:57.759 --> 00:18:59.160
 That robbery,

00:18:59.500 --> 00:18:59.960
 that grasped,

00:19:00.940 --> 00:19:01.660
 is a reference

00:19:01.660 --> 00:19:03.340
 to holding tightly

00:19:03.340 --> 00:19:04.000
 to something.

00:19:04.840 --> 00:19:05.920
 It's clinging

00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:07.279
 to something.

00:19:08.579 --> 00:19:09.620
 And Paul's point

00:19:09.620 --> 00:19:10.259
 is that

00:19:10.259 --> 00:19:11.079
 though Jesus

00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:12.140
 is God,

00:19:12.380 --> 00:19:13.660
 he did not consider

00:19:13.660 --> 00:19:14.299
 the glory

00:19:14.299 --> 00:19:15.140
 that comes along

00:19:15.140 --> 00:19:15.900
 with being God,

00:19:16.100 --> 00:19:16.819
 his place

00:19:16.819 --> 00:19:17.400
 on the throne

00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:17.860
 in heaven,

00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:19.059
 amidst the praises

00:19:19.059 --> 00:19:19.720
 of the angels

00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:20.460
 and the Old Testament

00:19:20.460 --> 00:19:21.440
 saints that were

00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:22.019
 already there

00:19:22.019 --> 00:19:22.899
 and all the benefits

00:19:22.899 --> 00:19:23.440
 of the riches

00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:24.000
 and the wealth

00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:24.720
 and all of those things.

00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:25.799
 He didn't cling

00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:26.440
 to that stuff

00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:27.039
 desperately

00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:28.460
 in an unwillingness

00:19:28.460 --> 00:19:29.480
 to help us,

00:19:30.019 --> 00:19:30.759
 but rather

00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:31.679
 in his humility

00:19:31.679 --> 00:19:32.220
 as God,

00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:33.000
 though he deserved

00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:33.940
 all of those things,

00:19:34.099 --> 00:19:34.899
 in his humility,

00:19:35.099 --> 00:19:36.159
 he set those things

00:19:36.159 --> 00:19:36.879
 to the side,

00:19:37.059 --> 00:19:37.879
 not his deity,

00:19:38.299 --> 00:19:39.220
 but the glory

00:19:39.220 --> 00:19:40.440
 of being divine.

00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:41.279
 He set that

00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:41.879
 to the side

00:19:41.879 --> 00:19:43.299
 and he condescended

00:19:43.299 --> 00:19:44.179
 to man

00:19:44.180 --> 00:19:45.860
 in order

00:19:45.860 --> 00:19:46.380
 to provide

00:19:46.380 --> 00:19:47.100
 salvation

00:19:47.100 --> 00:19:48.259
 for us.

00:19:48.940 --> 00:19:49.500
 And Paul says

00:19:49.500 --> 00:19:50.880
 this is the humility

00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:52.799
 that we're to show

00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:53.519
 with one another.

00:19:54.700 --> 00:19:55.180
 In fact,

00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:55.880
 it's exactly

00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:56.779
 what Paul says

00:19:56.779 --> 00:19:58.000
 in verse number

00:19:58.000 --> 00:19:58.880
 three,

00:19:59.500 --> 00:19:59.960
 or excuse me,

00:20:00.019 --> 00:20:00.279
 four.

00:20:01.019 --> 00:20:01.620
 He says,

00:20:02.140 --> 00:20:02.180
 look,

00:20:02.259 --> 00:20:02.880
 not every man

00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:04.100
 on his own things,

00:20:04.600 --> 00:20:05.700
 but every man

00:20:05.700 --> 00:20:06.820
 also on the things

00:20:06.820 --> 00:20:07.940
 of others.

00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:09.980
 When Paul says

00:20:09.980 --> 00:20:10.360
 at the end

00:20:10.360 --> 00:20:11.080
 of chapter one

00:20:11.080 --> 00:20:11.460
 that we are

00:20:11.460 --> 00:20:12.100
 to live a life

00:20:12.100 --> 00:20:12.740
 that is worthy

00:20:12.740 --> 00:20:13.380
 of the gospel

00:20:13.380 --> 00:20:13.920
 and the way

00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:14.320
 that we're going

00:20:14.320 --> 00:20:15.180
 to live that life

00:20:15.180 --> 00:20:16.360
 is by endurance

00:20:16.360 --> 00:20:17.260
 and persecution

00:20:17.260 --> 00:20:17.960
 and then in living

00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:19.620
 unified together,

00:20:19.820 --> 00:20:20.640
 he says the only way

00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:21.080
 that that's going

00:20:21.080 --> 00:20:21.600
 to happen

00:20:21.600 --> 00:20:22.580
 is when you

00:20:22.580 --> 00:20:23.620
 humble yourself

00:20:23.620 --> 00:20:24.540
 and stop looking

00:20:24.540 --> 00:20:25.540
 at your own things,

00:20:25.860 --> 00:20:26.380
 be willing

00:20:26.380 --> 00:20:27.620
 to set aside

00:20:27.620 --> 00:20:28.460
 the glory

00:20:28.460 --> 00:20:29.360
 of whatever it is

00:20:29.360 --> 00:20:30.040
 that you have been

00:20:30.040 --> 00:20:30.560
 blessed with

00:20:30.560 --> 00:20:31.100
 in your life

00:20:31.100 --> 00:20:32.000
 in order

00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:33.880
 to serve others

00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:35.420
 because that's

00:20:35.420 --> 00:20:36.120
 exactly what

00:20:36.120 --> 00:20:37.000
 Jesus did.

00:20:37.800 --> 00:20:39.080
 He did not cling

00:20:39.080 --> 00:20:39.820
 to the things

00:20:39.820 --> 00:20:41.000
 that were pleasant.

00:20:41.100 --> 00:20:41.820
 He did not cling

00:20:41.820 --> 00:20:42.420
 to the things

00:20:42.420 --> 00:20:43.360
 that were the blessings

00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:44.059
 and did not cling

00:20:44.059 --> 00:20:44.819
 to the glory

00:20:44.819 --> 00:20:45.459
 of his deity.

00:20:45.719 --> 00:20:46.459
 He set it aside

00:20:46.459 --> 00:20:47.519
 in order to serve

00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:48.879
 others and we need

00:20:48.879 --> 00:20:50.199
 not cling to the things

00:20:50.199 --> 00:20:51.079
 that God has blessed

00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:52.099
 us with and cling

00:20:52.099 --> 00:20:53.059
 to the power

00:20:53.059 --> 00:20:53.919
 that maybe we want

00:20:53.919 --> 00:20:54.779
 to enjoy

00:20:54.779 --> 00:20:56.019
 in a group dynamic

00:20:56.019 --> 00:20:57.599
 or cling to one thing

00:20:57.599 --> 00:20:58.079
 or another.

00:20:58.259 --> 00:20:59.079
 We ought to be willing

00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:00.119
 to set aside

00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:00.959
 whatever glory

00:21:00.959 --> 00:21:01.679
 we have

00:21:01.679 --> 00:21:02.599
 in order to serve

00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:03.159
 one another

00:21:03.159 --> 00:21:04.619
 and it's only

00:21:04.619 --> 00:21:05.539
 in that humility

00:21:05.539 --> 00:21:06.659
 that as a church

00:21:06.659 --> 00:21:07.819
 we will be able

00:21:07.819 --> 00:21:08.659
 to be unified

00:21:08.660 --> 00:21:10.160
 and live a life

00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:11.340
 that is worthy

00:21:11.340 --> 00:21:12.880
 of the gospel.

00:21:14.380 --> 00:21:14.980
 So we see

00:21:14.980 --> 00:21:16.100
 in verse 6 then

00:21:16.100 --> 00:21:17.580
 that Jesus

00:21:17.580 --> 00:21:18.980
 is the sovereign God.

00:21:19.620 --> 00:21:19.920
 Secondly,

00:21:20.060 --> 00:21:20.779
 in verse 7

00:21:20.779 --> 00:21:22.259
 we see that Jesus

00:21:22.259 --> 00:21:24.040
 is the humble servant.

00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:26.820
 He is the humble servant.

00:21:27.300 --> 00:21:27.800
 Look with me

00:21:27.800 --> 00:21:28.540
 at verse 7.

00:21:28.540 --> 00:21:30.200
 But he made himself

00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:31.279
 of no reputation

00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:33.120
 and took upon him

00:21:33.120 --> 00:21:34.279
 the form of a servant

00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:35.680
 and was made

00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:36.500
 in the likeness

00:21:36.500 --> 00:21:37.819
 of men.

00:21:38.779 --> 00:21:39.339
 In verse 6

00:21:39.339 --> 00:21:40.000
 we see the deity

00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:40.519
 of Jesus.

00:21:41.180 --> 00:21:42.000
 In verse 7

00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:43.640
 we see the humanity

00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:44.500
 of Jesus.

00:21:45.740 --> 00:21:46.400
 And it's here

00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:47.180
 where we can begin

00:21:47.180 --> 00:21:48.299
 to see more clearly

00:21:48.299 --> 00:21:49.819
 the example

00:21:49.819 --> 00:21:50.640
 of his humility.

00:21:51.779 --> 00:21:52.400
 It says that

00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:53.359
 he took upon him

00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:54.839
 the form of a servant.

00:21:56.019 --> 00:21:56.619
 Now you'll notice

00:21:56.619 --> 00:21:57.460
 that Paul uses

00:21:57.460 --> 00:21:58.519
 the same word

00:21:58.519 --> 00:22:00.720
 for Jesus' deity

00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:01.640
 in verse 6

00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:02.920
 as he does

00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:03.779
 for his humanity

00:22:03.779 --> 00:22:04.700
 in verse 7.

00:22:05.220 --> 00:22:06.480
 It's that same word

00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:07.500
 form.

00:22:08.180 --> 00:22:09.380
 And here's what he means

00:22:09.380 --> 00:22:10.160
 in doing that.

00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:12.140
 That Jesus

00:22:12.140 --> 00:22:13.700
 in verse 6

00:22:13.700 --> 00:22:14.799
 in his very essence

00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:15.640
 and his nature

00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:16.400
 is God.

00:22:17.140 --> 00:22:18.299
 Jesus in verse 7

00:22:18.299 --> 00:22:19.400
 in his very essence

00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:20.700
 and in his very nature

00:22:20.700 --> 00:22:23.140
 is man.

00:22:24.420 --> 00:22:25.339
 It's rigid

00:22:25.339 --> 00:22:26.460
 and inflexible

00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:27.180
 in his being

00:22:27.180 --> 00:22:27.960
 and we get this

00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:29.420
 mysteriously

00:22:29.420 --> 00:22:31.460
 glorious truth

00:22:31.460 --> 00:22:32.480
 of the identity

00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:33.059
 of Jesus

00:22:33.059 --> 00:22:33.880
 and that is

00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:35.620
 that in his very nature

00:22:35.619 --> 00:22:37.500
 he is simultaneously

00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:39.279
 God and man

00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:41.000
 to the fullest extent.

00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:43.439
 The God of heaven

00:22:43.439 --> 00:22:44.479
 in verse 6

00:22:44.479 --> 00:22:45.819
 condescended

00:22:45.819 --> 00:22:46.779
 in humility

00:22:46.779 --> 00:22:47.759
 in verse 7

00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:49.079
 to become a man

00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:50.419
 like you and me

00:22:50.419 --> 00:22:51.699
 with the purpose

00:22:51.699 --> 00:22:52.959
 of providing

00:22:52.959 --> 00:22:53.739
 redemption

00:22:53.739 --> 00:22:54.919
 and salvation

00:22:54.919 --> 00:22:55.879
 and forgiveness

00:22:55.879 --> 00:22:57.039
 for our sins.

00:22:57.039 --> 00:22:59.539
 the phrase

00:22:59.539 --> 00:23:00.119
 made himself

00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:01.079
 of no reputation

00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:01.559
 it means

00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:02.319
 to make empty

00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:04.259
 and in your scripture

00:23:04.259 --> 00:23:04.639
 journals

00:23:04.639 --> 00:23:05.759
 it will actually say

00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:06.940
 that he emptied himself

00:23:06.940 --> 00:23:08.779
 but what did he

00:23:08.779 --> 00:23:09.799
 empty himself of?

00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:11.819
 Not his deity.

00:23:12.659 --> 00:23:13.659
 That's who he is

00:23:13.659 --> 00:23:14.460
 by his very nature.

00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:15.659
 That can't be changed.

00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:17.440
 He emptied himself

00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:18.259
 as we mentioned

00:23:18.259 --> 00:23:19.720
 of his glory.

00:23:20.659 --> 00:23:21.420
 But think about that.

00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:22.960
 MacArthur said

00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:24.819
 in light of the profound reality

00:23:24.819 --> 00:23:25.500
 of Jesus'

00:23:25.900 --> 00:23:26.920
 full

00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:28.680
 and uncompromised deity

00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:28.700
!

00:23:29.840 --> 00:23:30.680
 His incarnation

00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:32.340
 the fact that he became a man

00:23:32.340 --> 00:23:34.059
 was the most profound

00:23:34.059 --> 00:23:35.220
 possible

00:23:35.220 --> 00:23:36.559
 humiliation.

00:23:38.019 --> 00:23:39.420
 For him to change

00:23:39.420 --> 00:23:40.180
 in any way

00:23:40.180 --> 00:23:41.259
 or to any degree

00:23:41.259 --> 00:23:43.400
 required dissent.

00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:46.700
 It gets no higher

00:23:46.700 --> 00:23:47.759
 than being God.

00:23:48.420 --> 00:23:49.500
 For him to change

00:23:49.500 --> 00:23:50.200
 in any way

00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:51.720
 required dissent

00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:52.680
 humiliation

00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:53.860
 humbleness.

00:23:55.220 --> 00:23:55.759
 And Jesus

00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:56.339
 took that

00:23:56.339 --> 00:23:57.440
 to the extreme

00:23:57.440 --> 00:23:59.579
 in becoming a man

00:23:59.579 --> 00:24:00.960
 and subjecting himself

00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:02.079
 the holy God

00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:03.299
 to pain.

00:24:04.380 --> 00:24:05.700
 He subjected himself

00:24:05.700 --> 00:24:06.779
 to poverty

00:24:06.779 --> 00:24:08.779
 to grief

00:24:08.779 --> 00:24:12.279
 to being a sinless being

00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:13.120
 in the midst

00:24:13.120 --> 00:24:13.700
 of a sinful

00:24:13.700 --> 00:24:15.059
 and perverse culture.

00:24:15.380 --> 00:24:16.839
 He subjected himself

00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:17.660
 to that

00:24:17.660 --> 00:24:18.620
 the holy God

00:24:18.620 --> 00:24:20.100
 in his humility.

00:24:20.099 --> 00:24:20.259
 humility.

00:24:21.299 --> 00:24:22.519
 And it was this example

00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:23.119
 of Christ

00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:24.019
 that led Paul

00:24:24.019 --> 00:24:25.119
 to encourage

00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:25.919
 the Philippians

00:24:25.919 --> 00:24:26.959
 in verse 3

00:24:26.959 --> 00:24:28.079
 when he said

00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:29.319
 that they ought not

00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:29.819
 do anything

00:24:29.819 --> 00:24:31.159
 with selfish ambition

00:24:31.159 --> 00:24:32.740
 or conceit

00:24:32.740 --> 00:24:35.059
 but in humility

00:24:35.059 --> 00:24:36.759
 count others

00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:37.819
 as more significant

00:24:37.819 --> 00:24:38.879
 than themselves.

00:24:40.459 --> 00:24:40.919
 Ashlyn and I

00:24:40.919 --> 00:24:41.699
 have had this conversation

00:24:41.699 --> 00:24:42.379
 a lot this week

00:24:42.379 --> 00:24:43.079
 haven't we Ashlyn?

00:24:43.439 --> 00:24:44.279
 We're trying to get

00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:44.799
 in the habit

00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:45.759
 of throughout the week

00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:46.719
 as we're studying

00:24:46.719 --> 00:24:47.659
 the Bible on Sundays

00:24:47.659 --> 00:24:49.039
 trying to make application

00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:49.779
 to that study

00:24:49.779 --> 00:24:50.379
 throughout the week

00:24:50.379 --> 00:24:51.200
 in various forms

00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:52.440
 and Ashlyn and I

00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:53.000
 are a lot alike

00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:53.819
 we both have a tendency

00:24:53.819 --> 00:24:54.759
 to be a little bit selfish

00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:55.180
 right?

00:24:55.619 --> 00:24:56.599
 And so we've been

00:24:56.599 --> 00:24:57.500
 calling each other out

00:24:57.500 --> 00:24:58.480
 on that throughout the week.

00:24:59.460 --> 00:25:01.220
 Remember what Paul said

00:25:01.220 --> 00:25:01.920
 to the Philippians

00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:02.819
 that we're to consider

00:25:02.819 --> 00:25:04.619
 others as more significant

00:25:04.619 --> 00:25:06.220
 than ourselves.

00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:08.220
 Paul's not saying

00:25:08.220 --> 00:25:09.279
 that you've got to think

00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:10.879
 poorly about yourself

00:25:10.879 --> 00:25:11.319
 he's just saying

00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:12.420
 don't think about yourself.

00:25:14.420 --> 00:25:15.480
 Let others

00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:17.059
 have this significance.

00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:20.200
 In biblical days

00:25:20.200 --> 00:25:21.360
 there was a cultural dynamic

00:25:21.360 --> 00:25:22.759
 that Jesus confronted

00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:23.620
 in the Pharisees

00:25:23.620 --> 00:25:24.819
 where whenever they would

00:25:24.819 --> 00:25:25.559
 go to a big dinner

00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:27.220
 there were particular seats

00:25:27.220 --> 00:25:28.039
 at the feast

00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:29.360
 that were meant

00:25:29.360 --> 00:25:30.420
 for the most prominent

00:25:30.420 --> 00:25:31.339
 people in the room.

00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:33.920
 And the Pharisees

00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:34.620
 had this habit

00:25:34.620 --> 00:25:35.420
 of when they would get

00:25:35.420 --> 00:25:36.380
 to the feast

00:25:36.380 --> 00:25:37.079
 they would immediately

00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:38.000
 take their seat

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:39.400
 at the most prominent place

00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:40.259
 at the table

00:25:40.259 --> 00:25:41.360
 believing themselves

00:25:41.360 --> 00:25:42.539
 to be significant

00:25:42.539 --> 00:25:43.500
 and letting everyone else

00:25:43.500 --> 00:25:44.960
 fall into their own place

00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:45.940
 as less significant

00:25:45.940 --> 00:25:46.380
 than them.

00:25:46.660 --> 00:25:47.360
 And Jesus says

00:25:47.360 --> 00:25:48.259
 rather than do that

00:25:48.259 --> 00:25:48.860
 you ought to sit

00:25:48.860 --> 00:25:49.539
 at the worst seat

00:25:49.539 --> 00:25:50.059
 at the table

00:25:50.059 --> 00:25:50.840
 and if somebody's

00:25:50.840 --> 00:25:51.440
 going to exalt you

00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:52.059
 let them do it

00:25:52.059 --> 00:25:52.900
 don't exalt yourself.

00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:56.120
 Paul explains that

00:25:56.120 --> 00:25:56.920
 even further here

00:25:56.920 --> 00:25:57.259
 and he says

00:25:57.259 --> 00:25:57.500
 look

00:25:57.500 --> 00:25:58.000
 he says

00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:59.500
 consider everybody else

00:25:59.500 --> 00:26:00.900
 as more significant

00:26:00.900 --> 00:26:02.100
 don't look on your own things

00:26:02.100 --> 00:26:03.240
 look on the things of others

00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:03.980
 and that's exactly

00:26:03.980 --> 00:26:04.860
 what Jesus did.

00:26:07.019 --> 00:26:08.420
 The God of glory

00:26:08.420 --> 00:26:11.400
 put us first

00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:14.740
 in condescending to us

00:26:14.740 --> 00:26:16.140
 but there are

00:26:16.140 --> 00:26:17.759
 some profound examples

00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:19.359
 of Jesus living this out

00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:20.319
 even in his life

00:26:20.319 --> 00:26:20.900
 and ministry

00:26:20.900 --> 00:26:21.500
 and there's one of them

00:26:21.500 --> 00:26:22.579
 that I want to point out

00:26:22.579 --> 00:26:23.819
 to you before we move on.

00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:25.079
 In fact

00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:25.740
 I want you to turn

00:26:25.740 --> 00:26:26.279
 in your Bibles

00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:27.720
 over to Matthew chapter 20.

00:26:28.900 --> 00:26:30.019
 Would you do that quickly?

00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:32.900
 Matthew chapter 20.

00:26:35.420 --> 00:26:36.799
 This passage tells us

00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:38.480
 about a prideful initiative

00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:39.400
 between a couple

00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:40.759
 of Jesus' disciples

00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:42.920
 was James and John

00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:44.519
 the sons of Zebedee

00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:45.460
 the sons of thunder.

00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:48.099
 What they wanted

00:26:48.099 --> 00:26:49.500
 was for the Lord

00:26:49.500 --> 00:26:50.200
 to give them

00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:51.799
 a place of authority

00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:53.660
 and a position

00:26:53.660 --> 00:26:54.879
 in his kingdom.

00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:55.940
 When Jesus' kingdom

00:26:55.940 --> 00:26:57.220
 would finally be set up

00:26:57.220 --> 00:26:59.099
 they wanted to be

00:26:59.099 --> 00:27:01.259
 one on Jesus' right side

00:27:01.259 --> 00:27:03.000
 and one on Jesus' left side.

00:27:03.099 --> 00:27:04.759
 They wanted the most prominent place

00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:05.819
 among all the disciples.

00:27:05.819 --> 00:27:06.500
 disciples

00:27:06.500 --> 00:27:07.599
 and so

00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:09.059
 they did like

00:27:09.059 --> 00:27:11.480
 most really brave

00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:12.039
 and courageous

00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:12.879
 and bold men

00:27:12.879 --> 00:27:13.519
 would do.

00:27:14.159 --> 00:27:15.599
 They recruited their mother

00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:16.740
 to go and talk to Jesus

00:27:16.740 --> 00:27:17.559
 on their behalf

00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:19.000
 and their mother

00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:19.799
 went to Jesus

00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:20.559
 and said listen

00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:21.500
 we've been thinking

00:27:21.500 --> 00:27:22.039
 about this

00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:23.619
 and you know Jesus

00:27:23.619 --> 00:27:24.539
 I love you

00:27:24.539 --> 00:27:25.220
 and if you love me

00:27:25.220 --> 00:27:25.980
 I'd love for you

00:27:25.980 --> 00:27:27.159
 to put my sons

00:27:27.159 --> 00:27:27.960
 one on one side

00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:28.819
 and one on the other side

00:27:28.819 --> 00:27:29.460
 in your kingdom.

00:27:30.500 --> 00:27:31.639
 And the other disciples

00:27:31.639 --> 00:27:32.460
 obviously didn't like

00:27:32.460 --> 00:27:33.079
 that very much

00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:33.839
 and there became

00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:34.559
 a contention

00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:35.899
 between the disciples

00:27:35.899 --> 00:27:36.419
 in this moment

00:27:36.419 --> 00:27:37.459
 that lasted for days

00:27:37.459 --> 00:27:38.079
 a contention

00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:38.619
 where they were just

00:27:38.619 --> 00:27:39.480
 fighting over

00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:40.299
 who was more important

00:27:40.299 --> 00:27:41.699
 and who was going to be

00:27:41.699 --> 00:27:42.419
 more significant

00:27:42.419 --> 00:27:43.279
 in Christ's kingdom.

00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:44.779
 Here's how Jesus responded

00:27:44.779 --> 00:27:45.500
 in Matthew 20.

00:27:45.659 --> 00:27:46.899
 Look at verse 24.

00:27:48.159 --> 00:27:49.319
 When the ten heard it

00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:50.379
 they were moved

00:27:50.379 --> 00:27:51.720
 with indignation

00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:53.480
 against the two brothers

00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:55.559
 but Jesus called them

00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:56.139
 unto him

00:27:56.139 --> 00:27:57.099
 and here's what he said

00:27:57.099 --> 00:27:58.619
 you know that

00:27:58.619 --> 00:27:59.079
 the princes

00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:00.079
 of the Gentiles

00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:01.379
 exercise dominion

00:28:01.379 --> 00:28:01.959
 over them

00:28:01.959 --> 00:28:02.459
 and they are

00:28:02.460 --> 00:28:04.240
 great exercise

00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:05.059
 authority

00:28:05.059 --> 00:28:06.360
 upon them

00:28:06.360 --> 00:28:08.220
 but it shall not be

00:28:08.220 --> 00:28:09.259
 so among you

00:28:09.259 --> 00:28:10.059
 Jesus said

00:28:10.059 --> 00:28:12.220
 but whosoever

00:28:12.220 --> 00:28:13.279
 will be great

00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:14.120
 among you

00:28:14.120 --> 00:28:15.559
 let him be

00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:16.279
 your minister

00:28:16.279 --> 00:28:18.240
 and whosoever

00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:19.200
 will be chief

00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:20.039
 among you

00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:21.360
 let him be

00:28:21.360 --> 00:28:22.600
 your servant

00:28:22.600 --> 00:28:24.079
 and then he says this

00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:25.940
 that he's the example

00:28:25.940 --> 00:28:26.299
 of it.

00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:27.000
 Verse 28

00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:28.960
 even as the son

00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:29.559
 of man

00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:30.779
 came not

00:28:30.779 --> 00:28:31.839
 not to be ministered

00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:32.139
 to

00:28:32.139 --> 00:28:33.700
 but to minister

00:28:33.700 --> 00:28:35.799
 and to give his life

00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:36.539
 a ransom

00:28:36.539 --> 00:28:37.779
 for many.

00:28:38.879 --> 00:28:39.420
 Jesus says

00:28:39.420 --> 00:28:40.160
 listen you ought to

00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:40.879
 treat one another

00:28:40.879 --> 00:28:42.039
 like I've treated you.

00:28:42.879 --> 00:28:44.359
 I am the son of God

00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:45.440
 I'm the savior

00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:46.500
 and I didn't come

00:28:46.500 --> 00:28:47.240
 to this earth

00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:48.559
 for you to serve me

00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:49.839
 I came to serve you

00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:50.379
 and the way

00:28:50.379 --> 00:28:51.000
 that I'm going to do that

00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:51.839
 is by giving my life

00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:52.399
 for you.

00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:54.500
 Well I want you

00:28:54.500 --> 00:28:54.960
 to flip over

00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:56.099
 to John chapter 13

00:28:56.099 --> 00:28:58.500
 just a few pages

00:28:58.500 --> 00:28:59.079
 to the right

00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:01.059
 John chapter 13

00:29:01.059 --> 00:29:02.339
 you would think

00:29:02.339 --> 00:29:03.339
 after that instruction

00:29:03.339 --> 00:29:04.659
 that

00:29:04.659 --> 00:29:08.319
 it was abundantly clear

00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:08.980
 how they needed

00:29:08.980 --> 00:29:09.579
 to change

00:29:09.579 --> 00:29:09.859
 and

00:29:09.859 --> 00:29:11.959
 when we think

00:29:11.959 --> 00:29:12.779
 highly of ourselves

00:29:12.779 --> 00:29:13.339
 we assume

00:29:13.339 --> 00:29:13.859
 that we would have

00:29:13.859 --> 00:29:14.219
 known better

00:29:14.219 --> 00:29:14.899
 than the disciples

00:29:14.899 --> 00:29:15.579
 and we probably

00:29:15.579 --> 00:29:16.259
 would have taken

00:29:16.259 --> 00:29:17.139
 that lesson well

00:29:17.139 --> 00:29:18.659
 and continued on

00:29:18.659 --> 00:29:19.240
 in humility

00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:20.199
 and serving one another

00:29:20.199 --> 00:29:20.699
 but that's not

00:29:20.699 --> 00:29:21.219
 what happened.

00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:23.399
 Just a few days later

00:29:23.399 --> 00:29:24.959
 in John chapter 13

00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:26.759
 we see that

00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:27.539
 Jesus had to

00:29:27.539 --> 00:29:28.240
 demonstrate this

00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:29.480
 further for his disciples.

00:29:30.819 --> 00:29:32.160
 This is the last supper

00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:34.360
 he's about to go

00:29:34.360 --> 00:29:35.000
 to the cross

00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:37.240
 and in the Passover

00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:38.140
 he has sent

00:29:38.140 --> 00:29:39.000
 Peter and John

00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:39.519
 ahead

00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:40.440
 to prepare

00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:41.400
 the Passover feast

00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:41.779
 that they're going

00:29:41.779 --> 00:29:42.240
 to observe.

00:29:43.160 --> 00:29:44.160
 Part of that

00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:44.860
 meant that they

00:29:44.860 --> 00:29:46.019
 should have prepared

00:29:46.019 --> 00:29:47.039
 a method

00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:47.840
 and a way

00:29:47.840 --> 00:29:48.759
 for washing

00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:49.740
 each other's feet

00:29:49.740 --> 00:29:50.779
 but they failed

00:29:50.779 --> 00:29:51.519
 to do that.

00:29:52.600 --> 00:29:53.460
 So they go

00:29:53.460 --> 00:29:54.140
 around the table

00:29:54.140 --> 00:29:54.759
 and they're having

00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:55.180
 their dinner

00:29:55.180 --> 00:29:56.440
 and here's what

00:29:56.440 --> 00:29:57.059
 John says

00:29:57.059 --> 00:29:57.900
 happened in John

00:29:57.900 --> 00:29:58.460
 chapter 13

00:29:58.460 --> 00:29:59.420
 look at verse 4

00:29:59.420 --> 00:30:02.379
 Jesus rose up

00:30:02.379 --> 00:30:03.039
 from supper

00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:05.339
 he laid aside

00:30:05.339 --> 00:30:06.319
 his outer garments

00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:08.420
 and taking a towel

00:30:08.420 --> 00:30:09.359
 tied it around

00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:10.019
 his waist

00:30:10.019 --> 00:30:11.400
 then he poured

00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:12.900
 water into a basin

00:30:12.900 --> 00:30:14.279
 and began to wash

00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:15.440
 the disciples feet

00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:16.980
 and to wipe them

00:30:16.980 --> 00:30:17.559
 with the towel

00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:18.259
 that he had

00:30:18.259 --> 00:30:19.500
 wrapped around him.

00:30:20.819 --> 00:30:21.920
 It's a monumental

00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:23.279
 demonstration

00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:24.279
 restoration of humility

00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:25.519
 on the part

00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:26.059
 of Jesus.

00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:28.019
 The washing

00:30:28.019 --> 00:30:28.940
 of feet

00:30:28.940 --> 00:30:29.779
 was a necessary

00:30:29.779 --> 00:30:30.799
 custom of the day

00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:32.480
 because of the sandals

00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:33.099
 that they wore

00:30:33.099 --> 00:30:33.799
 their feet would get

00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:34.859
 incredibly dirty

00:30:34.859 --> 00:30:36.759
 and it was customary

00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:37.460
 of a host

00:30:37.460 --> 00:30:38.539
 when hosting guests

00:30:38.539 --> 00:30:40.099
 to make provisions

00:30:40.099 --> 00:30:40.119
!

00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:41.920
 for their guests

00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:43.059
 to have their feet

00:30:43.059 --> 00:30:43.500
 washed.

00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:44.879
 It was a sign

00:30:44.879 --> 00:30:45.339
 of respect

00:30:45.339 --> 00:30:46.119
 and it was a sign

00:30:46.119 --> 00:30:46.460
 of honor

00:30:46.460 --> 00:30:47.660
 and if a host

00:30:47.660 --> 00:30:48.680
 were not to do that

00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:49.119
 it was actually

00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:50.139
 a sign of unfriendliness

00:30:50.140 --> 00:30:51.460
 or even contempt

00:30:51.460 --> 00:30:52.180
 for the person

00:30:52.180 --> 00:30:53.520
 that has come over

00:30:53.520 --> 00:30:54.120
 to their home

00:30:54.120 --> 00:30:55.259
 in that particular moment.

00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:57.780
 It was an incredibly

00:30:57.780 --> 00:30:59.080
 lowly task.

00:31:00.220 --> 00:31:01.300
 It was reserved

00:31:01.300 --> 00:31:02.000
 for the lowest

00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:02.880
 of society.

00:31:03.700 --> 00:31:04.040
 In fact

00:31:04.040 --> 00:31:04.580
 there were even

00:31:04.580 --> 00:31:05.840
 some Jewish writings

00:31:05.840 --> 00:31:07.000
 that you can even see

00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:08.020
 still today

00:31:08.020 --> 00:31:09.080
 called the Midrash

00:31:09.080 --> 00:31:10.520
 that stated

00:31:10.520 --> 00:31:11.560
 not even a Hebrew

00:31:11.560 --> 00:31:12.420
 slave

00:31:12.420 --> 00:31:14.060
 could be commanded

00:31:14.060 --> 00:31:14.660
 to wash

00:31:14.660 --> 00:31:15.580
 someone else's feet.

00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:16.160
 It was just

00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:17.100
 degrading.

00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:18.900
 It was degrading.

00:31:18.900 --> 00:31:20.380
 It would be degrading

00:31:20.380 --> 00:31:21.060
 for us now.

00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:22.460
 It was certainly

00:31:22.460 --> 00:31:23.720
 degrading for them then.

00:31:24.519 --> 00:31:25.780
 So you can imagine

00:31:25.780 --> 00:31:28.120
 perhaps a silent tension

00:31:28.120 --> 00:31:30.400
 as the men

00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:31.180
 became aware

00:31:31.180 --> 00:31:31.840
 of the fact

00:31:31.840 --> 00:31:33.280
 that the one

00:31:33.280 --> 00:31:34.200
 who was seated

00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:35.300
 at the prominent

00:31:35.300 --> 00:31:36.180
 place at the table

00:31:36.180 --> 00:31:38.360
 the one

00:31:38.360 --> 00:31:39.000
 who by their

00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:40.200
 own confession

00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:42.320
 was not

00:31:42.320 --> 00:31:43.460
 just a man

00:31:43.460 --> 00:31:44.500
 but was the very

00:31:44.500 --> 00:31:45.340
 son of God

00:31:45.340 --> 00:31:46.060
 that had come

00:31:46.060 --> 00:31:46.820
 to establish

00:31:46.820 --> 00:31:47.640
 his kingdom

00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:48.980
 on this earth.

00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:50.180
 They had just

00:31:50.180 --> 00:31:51.080
 made that confession.

00:31:51.820 --> 00:31:52.420
 Remember Jesus

00:31:52.420 --> 00:31:53.240
 had asked Peter

00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:54.140
 who do you say

00:31:54.140 --> 00:31:54.540
 that I am

00:31:54.540 --> 00:31:54.880
 and he said

00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:55.380
 you're the son

00:31:55.380 --> 00:31:55.840
 of God

00:31:55.840 --> 00:31:57.220
 and I'm going

00:31:57.220 --> 00:31:58.060
 to follow you.

00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:00.140
 Imagine how they

00:32:00.140 --> 00:32:01.020
 felt as they sat

00:32:01.020 --> 00:32:01.720
 around that table

00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:02.300
 that night

00:32:02.300 --> 00:32:03.080
 all of them

00:32:03.080 --> 00:32:03.660
 bickering

00:32:03.660 --> 00:32:04.640
 about who's

00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:04.980
 going to be

00:32:04.980 --> 00:32:05.740
 greatest in the

00:32:05.740 --> 00:32:06.000
 kingdom

00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:06.840
 and then all of a

00:32:06.840 --> 00:32:07.380
 sudden they look

00:32:07.380 --> 00:32:08.000
 up and Jesus

00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:08.660
 has gotten up

00:32:08.660 --> 00:32:09.280
 the one that is

00:32:09.280 --> 00:32:09.680
 the greatest

00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:10.200
 in the kingdom

00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:10.940
 and he's gotten

00:32:10.940 --> 00:32:11.700
 up from the table

00:32:11.700 --> 00:32:12.320
 and he's taken

00:32:12.320 --> 00:32:13.160
 his jacket off

00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:13.800
 and he's taken

00:32:13.800 --> 00:32:14.880
 the slave's towel

00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:15.660
 and he's wrapped

00:32:15.660 --> 00:32:16.500
 it around his waist

00:32:16.500 --> 00:32:17.200
 and he's put some

00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:17.960
 water in a bowl

00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:18.819
 and now he's going

00:32:18.819 --> 00:32:19.819
 around one by one

00:32:19.819 --> 00:32:20.400
 to these men

00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:21.000
 and he's getting

00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:21.819
 down on his hands

00:32:21.819 --> 00:32:22.339
 and his knees

00:32:22.339 --> 00:32:23.519
 the God of heaven

00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:24.480
 is on his hands

00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:25.059
 and his knees

00:32:25.059 --> 00:32:26.019
 and he's washing

00:32:26.019 --> 00:32:26.980
 their nasty

00:32:26.980 --> 00:32:28.380
 stinking feet

00:32:28.380 --> 00:32:32.019
 and they're silent

00:32:32.019 --> 00:32:33.960
 except for one of them

00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:35.319
 you can read about

00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:36.059
 that on your own

00:32:36.059 --> 00:32:38.279
 but he goes by

00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:39.420
 one by one

00:32:39.420 --> 00:32:40.519
 and he gets down

00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:41.400
 and he cleans

00:32:41.400 --> 00:32:42.220
 their nasty feet

00:32:42.220 --> 00:32:42.920
 and then when he's

00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:43.559
 done with it

00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:45.119
 he puts the towel

00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:45.440
 away

00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:46.599
 and he puts

00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:47.279
 the bowl away

00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:48.099
 and he puts

00:32:48.099 --> 00:32:48.799
 his jacket back

00:32:48.799 --> 00:32:49.079
 on

00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:50.139
 and he goes

00:32:50.139 --> 00:32:50.779
 right back

00:32:50.779 --> 00:32:51.319
 to the place

00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:51.960
 of prominence

00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:52.500
 at the table

00:32:52.500 --> 00:32:54.599
 it's an exact

00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:55.319
 picture of what

00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:55.779
 he's done

00:32:55.779 --> 00:32:56.440
 in coming to

00:32:56.440 --> 00:32:56.879
 this earth

00:32:56.879 --> 00:32:57.599
 and condescending

00:32:57.599 --> 00:32:58.079
 to us

00:32:58.079 --> 00:32:59.799
 he left

00:32:59.799 --> 00:33:00.240
 his place

00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:01.119
 of prominence

00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:03.299
 to condescend

00:33:03.299 --> 00:33:03.940
 to man

00:33:03.940 --> 00:33:05.299
 to accomplish

00:33:05.299 --> 00:33:05.919
 a specific

00:33:05.919 --> 00:33:06.460
 task

00:33:06.460 --> 00:33:07.419
 providing redemption

00:33:07.419 --> 00:33:09.019
 and once the

00:33:09.019 --> 00:33:09.960
 task was completed

00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:10.539
 as we'll study

00:33:10.539 --> 00:33:11.059
 next week

00:33:11.059 --> 00:33:11.759
 he ascended

00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:12.559
 back into heaven

00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:13.500
 and went right

00:33:13.500 --> 00:33:14.119
 back to his

00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:15.099
 seat of prominence

00:33:15.099 --> 00:33:17.119
 when Jesus

00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:17.859
 left the seat

00:33:17.859 --> 00:33:18.440
 of prominence

00:33:18.440 --> 00:33:18.960
 at the table

00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:19.419
 that night

00:33:19.419 --> 00:33:20.299
 he wasn't

00:33:20.299 --> 00:33:21.059
 leaving off

00:33:21.059 --> 00:33:21.440
 the fact

00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:21.839
 that he was

00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:22.179
 the most

00:33:22.179 --> 00:33:22.819
 important person

00:33:22.819 --> 00:33:23.079
 there

00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:23.639
 that didn't

00:33:23.639 --> 00:33:24.139
 change

00:33:24.139 --> 00:33:26.139
 what he did

00:33:26.139 --> 00:33:26.579
 was in his

00:33:26.579 --> 00:33:27.119
 humility

00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:29.299
 he got up

00:33:29.299 --> 00:33:29.619
 from his

00:33:29.619 --> 00:33:30.059
 place

00:33:30.059 --> 00:33:31.220
 and he served

00:33:31.220 --> 00:33:31.759
 the people

00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:32.559
 that did not

00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:33.220
 deserve to be

00:33:33.220 --> 00:33:33.579
 served

00:33:33.579 --> 00:33:36.059
 and Paul says

00:33:36.059 --> 00:33:37.000
 this is exactly

00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:38.039
 how we're to

00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:38.740
 serve one another

00:33:38.740 --> 00:33:41.519
 Jesus said

00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:42.900
 this is exactly

00:33:42.900 --> 00:33:43.460
 how we're to

00:33:43.460 --> 00:33:44.079
 serve one another

00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:44.660
 if you're still

00:33:44.660 --> 00:33:45.460
 in John 13

00:33:45.460 --> 00:33:46.680
 look with me

00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:47.579
 down at verse

00:33:47.579 --> 00:33:48.599
 number 12

00:33:48.599 --> 00:33:51.180
 when he had

00:33:51.180 --> 00:33:52.119
 washed the feet

00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:53.619
 and put on his

00:33:53.619 --> 00:33:54.240
 outer garment

00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:55.059
 he resumed his

00:33:55.059 --> 00:33:55.480
 place

00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:57.119
 and then he

00:33:57.119 --> 00:33:57.500
 said

00:33:57.500 --> 00:33:58.660
 do you

00:33:58.660 --> 00:33:59.099
 understand

00:33:59.099 --> 00:33:59.759
 what I have

00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:00.160
 done

00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:00.960
 to you

00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:03.200
 you call me

00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:03.720
 teacher

00:34:03.720 --> 00:34:04.480
 and Lord

00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:05.119
 and you're

00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:05.599
 right

00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:06.720
 for that's

00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:07.460
 who I am

00:34:07.460 --> 00:34:09.340
 if I

00:34:09.340 --> 00:34:09.679
 then

00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:09.900
 your

00:34:09.900 --> 00:34:10.440
 Lord

00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:10.860
 and

00:34:10.860 --> 00:34:11.300
 teacher

00:34:11.300 --> 00:34:11.639
 have

00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:12.019
 washed

00:34:12.019 --> 00:34:12.240
 your

00:34:12.240 --> 00:34:12.539
 feet

00:34:12.539 --> 00:34:12.760
 you

00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:12.960
 ought

00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:13.360
 also

00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:13.699
 to

00:34:13.699 --> 00:34:14.000
 wash

00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:14.220
 one

00:34:14.220 --> 00:34:14.699
 another's

00:34:14.699 --> 00:34:15.039
 feet

00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:15.699
 and he

00:34:15.699 --> 00:34:16.019
 says

00:34:16.019 --> 00:34:16.880
 for I

00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:17.059
 have

00:34:17.059 --> 00:34:17.460
 given you

00:34:17.460 --> 00:34:18.139
 an example

00:34:18.139 --> 00:34:19.599
 that you

00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:20.119
 also

00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:21.159
 should do

00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:21.780
 just as

00:34:21.780 --> 00:34:22.099
 I have

00:34:22.099 --> 00:34:22.320
 done

00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:22.860
 to you

00:34:22.860 --> 00:34:24.460
 truly

00:34:24.460 --> 00:34:24.860
 truly

00:34:24.860 --> 00:34:25.460
 I say

00:34:25.460 --> 00:34:25.699
 to you

00:34:25.699 --> 00:34:26.119
 a servant

00:34:26.119 --> 00:34:26.460
 is not

00:34:26.460 --> 00:34:26.760
 greater

00:34:26.760 --> 00:34:27.099
 than his

00:34:27.099 --> 00:34:27.519
 master

00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:28.619
 nor

00:34:28.619 --> 00:34:28.900
 is a

00:34:28.900 --> 00:34:29.260
 messenger

00:34:29.260 --> 00:34:29.659
 greater

00:34:29.659 --> 00:34:29.980
 than the

00:34:29.980 --> 00:34:30.119
 one

00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:30.280
 who

00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:30.539
 sent

00:34:30.539 --> 00:34:30.800
 him

00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:31.740
 if

00:34:31.740 --> 00:34:31.880
 you

00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:32.059
 know

00:34:32.059 --> 00:34:32.320
 these

00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:32.639
 things

00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:32.960
 blessed

00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:33.099
 are

00:34:33.099 --> 00:34:33.260
 you

00:34:33.260 --> 00:34:33.420
 if

00:34:33.420 --> 00:34:33.519
 you

00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:33.659
 do

00:34:33.659 --> 00:34:33.880
 them

00:34:33.880 --> 00:34:35.180
 so in

00:34:35.180 --> 00:34:35.619
 verse 6

00:34:35.619 --> 00:34:36.019
 we see

00:34:36.019 --> 00:34:36.280
 the

00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:36.980
 sovereign

00:34:36.980 --> 00:34:37.500
 God

00:34:37.500 --> 00:34:38.140
 that's

00:34:38.140 --> 00:34:38.260
 who

00:34:38.260 --> 00:34:38.519
 Jesus

00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:39.019
 is

00:34:39.019 --> 00:34:40.220
 in

00:34:40.220 --> 00:34:40.820
 verse 7

00:34:40.820 --> 00:34:41.320
 we see

00:34:41.320 --> 00:34:41.539
 that

00:34:41.539 --> 00:34:42.000
 sovereign

00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:42.440
 God

00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:43.400
 condescending

00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:43.960
 to man

00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:44.539
 in humility

00:34:44.539 --> 00:34:45.440
 and becoming

00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:46.240
 the humble

00:34:46.240 --> 00:34:46.640
 servant

00:34:46.640 --> 00:34:47.300
 and even

00:34:47.300 --> 00:34:47.680
 in his

00:34:47.680 --> 00:34:48.000
 life

00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:48.480
 and ministry

00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:49.079
 demonstrating

00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:49.720
 that in

00:34:49.720 --> 00:34:50.039
 a way

00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:50.660
 that we

00:34:50.660 --> 00:34:50.920
 should

00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:51.519
 follow

00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:53.820
 and then

00:34:53.820 --> 00:34:54.200
 thirdly

00:34:54.200 --> 00:34:54.740
 and finally

00:34:54.740 --> 00:34:55.240
 in verse

00:34:55.240 --> 00:34:55.700
 8

00:34:55.700 --> 00:34:56.760
 we see

00:34:56.760 --> 00:34:57.220
 that Jesus

00:34:57.220 --> 00:34:57.740
 is the

00:34:57.740 --> 00:34:58.240
 sufficient

00:34:58.240 --> 00:34:58.820
 savior

00:34:58.820 --> 00:35:00.180
 he's

00:35:00.180 --> 00:35:00.360
 the

00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:00.800
 sufficient

00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:01.480
 savior

00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:03.160
 look with

00:35:03.159 --> 00:35:03.480
 me at

00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:03.759
 verse

00:35:03.759 --> 00:35:04.079
 number

00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:04.460
 8

00:35:04.460 --> 00:35:04.980
 Philippians

00:35:04.980 --> 00:35:05.319
 2

00:35:05.319 --> 00:35:07.059
 being

00:35:07.059 --> 00:35:07.420
 found

00:35:07.420 --> 00:35:07.619
 in

00:35:07.619 --> 00:35:08.019
 fashion

00:35:08.019 --> 00:35:08.420
 as

00:35:08.420 --> 00:35:08.539
 a

00:35:08.539 --> 00:35:08.879
 man

00:35:08.879 --> 00:35:09.759
 he

00:35:09.759 --> 00:35:10.079
 humbled

00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:10.659
 himself

00:35:10.659 --> 00:35:12.000
 and

00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:12.279
 became

00:35:12.279 --> 00:35:12.739
 obedient

00:35:12.739 --> 00:35:13.099
 unto

00:35:13.099 --> 00:35:13.679
 death

00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:14.739
 even

00:35:14.739 --> 00:35:14.980
 the

 it's

00:37:17.539 --> 00:37:17.919
 here

00:37:17.919 --> 00:37:18.279
 that

00:37:18.279 --> 00:37:18.579
 all

00:37:18.579 --> 00:37:18.699
 of

00:37:18.699 --> 00:37:18.859
 that

00:37:18.859 --> 00:37:19.159
 time

00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:19.299
 in

 verses

 6

00:37:19.879 --> 00:37:20.379
 and 7

00:37:20.379 --> 00:37:21.059
 becomes

00:37:21.059 --> 00:37:21.500
 important

00:37:21.500 --> 00:37:21.719
 to

00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:21.860
 our

00:37:21.860 --> 00:37:22.239
 doctrine

00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:22.480
 of

00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:22.619
 the

00:37:22.619 --> 00:37:23.019
 gospel

00:37:23.019 --> 00:37:24.619
 because

00:37:24.619 --> 00:37:25.380
 acknowledging

00:37:25.380 --> 00:37:25.799
 Jesus'

00:37:26.139 --> 00:37:26.579
 true

00:37:26.579 --> 00:37:27.519
 identity

00:37:27.519 --> 00:37:28.099
 as being

00:37:28.099 --> 00:37:28.500
 God

00:37:28.500 --> 00:37:29.000
 and man

00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:29.259
 is

00:37:29.259 --> 00:37:29.920
 absolutely

00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:30.759
 necessary

00:37:30.759 --> 00:37:31.219
 for him

00:37:31.219 --> 00:37:31.480
 to be

00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:31.679
 our

00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:32.039
 savior

00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:33.820
 his

00:37:33.820 --> 00:37:34.440
 sacrifice

00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:35.259
 is only

00:37:35.259 --> 00:37:36.320
 sufficient

00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:37.860
 for our

00:37:37.860 --> 00:37:38.199
 sin

00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:38.539
 because

00:37:38.539 --> 00:37:39.139
 of his

00:37:39.139 --> 00:37:39.539
 true

00:37:39.539 --> 00:37:40.199
 identity

00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:41.920
 his

00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:42.299
 deity

00:37:42.299 --> 00:37:42.759
 made it

00:37:42.759 --> 00:37:43.139
 possible

00:37:43.139 --> 00:37:43.519
 for him

00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:43.820
 to live

00:37:43.820 --> 00:37:44.320
 a sinless

00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:44.840
 life

00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:45.519
 that would

00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:46.019
 provide

00:37:46.019 --> 00:37:46.639
 sufficient

00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:47.019
 payment

00:37:47.019 --> 00:37:47.719
 for sin

00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:48.360
 but his

00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:49.000
 humanity

00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:49.519
 made it

00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:49.940
 possible

00:37:49.940 --> 00:37:50.340
 for him

00:37:50.340 --> 00:37:51.000
 to actually

00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:51.440
 die

00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:51.659
 the

00:37:51.659 --> 00:37:52.199
 death

00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:52.619
 that

00:37:52.619 --> 00:37:52.800
 was

00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:53.500
 necessary

00:37:53.500 --> 00:37:53.780
 to

00:37:53.780 --> 00:37:54.300
 satisfy

00:37:54.300 --> 00:37:54.820
 God's

00:37:54.820 --> 00:37:55.300
 wrath

00:37:55.300 --> 00:37:56.360
 because

00:37:56.360 --> 00:37:56.739
 of

00:37:56.739 --> 00:37:56.880
 his

00:37:56.880 --> 00:37:57.460
 identity

00:37:57.460 --> 00:37:58.659
 in

00:37:58.659 --> 00:37:58.840
 his

00:37:58.840 --> 00:37:59.179
 humble

00:37:59.179 --> 00:38:00.199
 condescension

00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:00.719
 he

00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:00.940
 was

00:38:00.940 --> 00:38:01.199
 made

00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:02.039
 sufficient

00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:02.960
 for

00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:03.360
 our

00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:04.360
 salvation

00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:06.099
 1 John

00:38:06.099 --> 00:38:06.659
 chapter 4

00:38:06.659 --> 00:38:07.380
 explains this

00:38:07.380 --> 00:38:07.739
 to us

00:38:07.739 --> 00:38:08.079
 it says

00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:08.820
 in this

00:38:08.820 --> 00:38:08.980
 was

00:38:08.980 --> 00:38:09.679
 manifested

00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:10.380
 or shown

00:38:10.380 --> 00:38:11.079
 or demonstrated

00:38:11.079 --> 00:38:11.500
 the love

00:38:11.500 --> 00:38:11.860
 of God

00:38:11.860 --> 00:38:12.400
 to us

00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:13.300
 because

00:38:13.300 --> 00:38:13.820
 God

00:38:13.820 --> 00:38:14.079
 sent

00:38:14.079 --> 00:38:14.260
 his

00:38:14.260 --> 00:38:14.780
 only

00:38:14.780 --> 00:38:15.760
 begotten

00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:16.219
 son

00:38:16.219 --> 00:38:16.539
 into

00:38:16.539 --> 00:38:16.699
 the

00:38:16.699 --> 00:38:17.059
 world

00:38:17.059 --> 00:38:17.679
 not

00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:17.800
 his

00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:17.940
 only

00:38:17.940 --> 00:38:18.420
 created

00:38:18.420 --> 00:38:18.780
 son

00:38:18.780 --> 00:38:19.059
 his

00:38:19.059 --> 00:38:19.239
 only

00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:19.860
 begotten

00:38:19.860 --> 00:38:20.420
 son

00:38:20.420 --> 00:38:21.340
 that

00:38:21.340 --> 00:38:21.619
 we

00:38:21.619 --> 00:38:21.960
 might

00:38:21.960 --> 00:38:22.300
 live

00:38:22.300 --> 00:38:22.599
 through

00:38:22.599 --> 00:38:23.079
 him

00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:23.960
 and

00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:24.240
 here

00:38:24.240 --> 00:38:24.380
 in

00:38:24.380 --> 00:38:24.519
 his

00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:24.800
 love

00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:25.059
 not

00:38:25.059 --> 00:38:25.240
 that

00:38:25.240 --> 00:38:25.400
 we

00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:25.639
 loved

00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:25.940
 God

00:38:25.940 --> 00:38:26.099
 but

00:38:26.099 --> 00:38:26.300
 that

00:38:26.300 --> 00:38:26.420
 he

00:38:26.420 --> 00:38:26.720
 loved

00:38:26.720 --> 00:38:27.019
 us

00:38:27.019 --> 00:38:27.500
 and

00:38:27.500 --> 00:38:27.840
 sent

00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:28.119
 his

00:38:28.119 --> 00:38:28.480
 son

00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:28.840
 to be

00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:29.079
 the

00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:30.059
 propitiation

00:38:30.059 --> 00:38:31.639
 for our

00:38:31.639 --> 00:38:32.159
 sins

00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:32.900
 that word

00:38:32.900 --> 00:38:33.519
 propitiation

00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:33.800
 is

00:38:33.800 --> 00:38:34.840
 vastly

00:38:34.840 --> 00:38:35.380
 important

00:38:35.380 --> 00:38:35.720
 to our

00:38:35.720 --> 00:38:36.180
 theology

00:38:36.180 --> 00:38:37.480
 it

00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:37.720
 means

00:38:37.720 --> 00:38:37.920
 to

00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:38.639
 satisfy

00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:39.260
 or to

00:38:39.260 --> 00:38:40.039
 appease

00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:41.440
 fully

00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:43.460
 the

00:38:43.460 --> 00:38:43.960
 means

00:38:43.960 --> 00:38:44.200
 for

00:38:44.200 --> 00:38:44.659
 God's

00:38:44.659 --> 00:38:44.980
 wrath

00:38:44.980 --> 00:38:45.340
 to be

00:38:45.340 --> 00:38:46.059
 satisfied

00:38:46.059 --> 00:38:46.420
 because

00:38:46.420 --> 00:38:46.720
 of

00:38:46.720 --> 00:38:47.059
 our

00:38:47.059 --> 00:38:47.519
 sin

00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:48.099
 is

00:38:48.099 --> 00:38:48.460
 only

00:38:48.460 --> 00:38:48.840
 our

00:38:48.840 --> 00:38:49.420
 death

00:38:49.420 --> 00:38:51.340
 that's

00:38:51.340 --> 00:38:51.539
 why

00:38:51.539 --> 00:38:51.940
 Romans

00:38:51.940 --> 00:38:52.300
 says

00:38:52.300 --> 00:38:52.500
 that

00:38:52.500 --> 00:38:52.680
 the

00:38:52.680 --> 00:38:53.000
 payment

00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:53.280
 for

00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:53.599
 sin

00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:54.099
 is

00:38:54.099 --> 00:38:54.420
 death

00:38:54.420 --> 00:38:54.740
 the

00:38:54.740 --> 00:38:55.039
 way

00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:55.280
 that

00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:55.680
 God's

00:38:55.680 --> 00:38:55.960
 wrath

00:38:55.960 --> 00:38:56.099
 is

00:38:56.099 --> 00:38:56.539
 appeased

00:38:56.539 --> 00:38:56.780
 on

00:38:56.780 --> 00:38:57.059
 us

00:38:57.059 --> 00:38:57.420
 is

00:38:57.420 --> 00:38:57.579
 through

00:38:57.579 --> 00:38:57.780
 the

00:38:57.780 --> 00:38:58.039
 death

00:38:58.039 --> 00:38:58.240
 that's

00:38:58.240 --> 00:38:58.460
 as a

00:38:58.460 --> 00:38:58.700
 result

00:38:58.700 --> 00:38:58.840
 of

00:38:58.840 --> 00:38:59.000
 our

00:38:59.000 --> 00:38:59.400
 sin

00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:01.119
 Jesus

00:39:01.119 --> 00:39:01.860
 in

00:39:01.860 --> 00:39:02.300
 this

00:39:02.300 --> 00:39:03.300
 propitiation

00:39:03.300 --> 00:39:03.280
!

00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:04.740
 fully

00:39:04.740 --> 00:39:06.000
 satisfied

00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:07.659
 God's

00:39:07.659 --> 00:39:08.079
 wrath

00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:09.119
 on our

00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:10.300
 behalf

00:39:10.300 --> 00:39:12.099
 because

00:39:12.099 --> 00:39:12.420
 of his

00:39:12.420 --> 00:39:12.780
 sinless

00:39:12.780 --> 00:39:13.240
 life

00:39:13.240 --> 00:39:14.880
 we

00:39:14.880 --> 00:39:15.119
 can

00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:15.400
 be

00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:15.960
 saved

 God

00:39:16.579 --> 00:39:16.579


00:39:16.579 --> 00:39:16.960
 God

00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:17.639
 is

00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:18.380
 the

00:39:18.380 --> 00:39:18.720
 God

00:39:18.720 --> 00:39:20.740
 who

00:39:20.740 --> 00:39:22.900
 is

00:39:22.900 --> 00:39:23.460
 responsible

00:39:23.460 --> 00:39:23.740
 to

00:39:23.740 --> 00:39:24.179
 appease

00:39:24.179 --> 00:39:24.360
 the

 wrath

00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:24.720
 of

 the
