00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.459
 In the Gospel of John, we'll be in chapter 16, verse 16.

00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:10.200
 So we've got 18 verses left in this chapter,

00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:14.480
 and these verses give us the final words of Jesus with his disciples

00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:18.400
 before he prays his high priestly prayer

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:23.400
 and then moves to the Garden of Gethsemane where he'll be arrested.

00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:28.980
 As usual in John's Gospel, there's a lot in these 18 verses.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.579
 I had a difficult time breaking this up into pieces and finding clear divisions here.

00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:40.740
 There's kind of several themes or topics kind of woven through all of these 18 verses.

00:00:41.259 --> 00:00:44.560
 So I'm going to focus not on all the verses in the chapter,

00:00:44.780 --> 00:00:48.980
 but just on the main conversation arc of this passage.

00:00:48.980 --> 00:00:52.760
 And we'll save some of those other themes perhaps for another message.

00:00:53.019 --> 00:00:59.000
 So we start here in verse 16 with Jesus making this statement to his disciples.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.439
 In a little while you will see me no more.

00:01:04.219 --> 00:01:07.799
 And then after a little while you will see me.

00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:12.680
 Now this is a statement that proved confusing to Jesus' disciples,

00:01:12.980 --> 00:01:14.719
 as we'll see in a minute.

00:01:14.960 --> 00:01:16.579
 What is Jesus talking about?

00:01:17.780 --> 00:01:22.920
 All through this evening, Jesus has been telling his disciples about how he is leaving.

00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:31.320
 And not only his disciples, but actually Jesus has been telling even the crowds this for some time now.

00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.099
 Is this what Jesus is talking about again here?

00:01:36.219 --> 00:01:37.460
 How he's about to leave them?

00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.540
 Let's just look quickly at some of the previous statements Jesus made.

00:01:41.700 --> 00:01:46.079
 All the way back in John chapter 7, verse 33.

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.200
 Jesus said this to the crowds.

00:01:48.340 --> 00:01:48.599
 He said,

00:01:48.739 --> 00:01:51.239
 I am with you for only a short time.

00:01:51.739 --> 00:01:54.019
 And then I'm going to the one who sent me.

00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.599
 You will look for me, but you will not find me.

00:01:57.939 --> 00:02:00.439
 And where I am, you cannot come.

00:02:01.500 --> 00:02:04.359
 And then again in John chapter 12, a while later,

00:02:05.039 --> 00:02:07.219
 Jesus said this to the crowd in Jerusalem.

00:02:07.219 --> 00:02:11.599
 You are going to have the light just a little while longer.

00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:16.840
 Walk while you have the light before darkness overtakes you.

00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.539
 And of course, Jesus was referring to himself as the light,

00:02:20.620 --> 00:02:25.680
 which we see just a little ways down the page in verse 46 of chapter 12.

00:02:26.460 --> 00:02:29.740
 And then in the upper room, this same night,

00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:32.840
 where they ate the Passover meal,

00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:36.759
 right after Judas left to get things ready to betray Jesus,

00:02:37.219 --> 00:02:42.680
 Jesus said this to the 11 apostles who were with him.

00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:47.579
 My children, I will be with you only a little longer.

00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:49.479
 You will look for me.

00:02:50.099 --> 00:02:52.419
 And just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now,

00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.159
 where I'm going, you cannot come.

00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:59.360
 And there was this little discussion about where Jesus was going.

00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.079
 Peter asked the question, Lord, where are you going?

00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.620
 And Jesus replied, where I'm going, you cannot follow now,

00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:07.680
 but you will follow later.

00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:11.879
 And then Jesus went on to talk about the father's house

00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.640
 and how he was going away to prepare a place for them.

00:03:14.780 --> 00:03:18.460
 And you know the way to the place where I am going, said Jesus.

00:03:18.920 --> 00:03:20.860
 And of course, Thomas asked the question,

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:22.640
 Lord, we don't know where you're going.

00:03:23.140 --> 00:03:24.500
 So how can we know the way?

00:03:25.040 --> 00:03:27.560
 And Jesus answered, I am the way.

00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:31.240
 No one comes to the father except through me.

00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:34.379
 And it just goes on from there.

00:03:34.860 --> 00:03:38.520
 All through this evening, chapter 14, verse 18 and 19,

00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.340
 Jesus says, I will not leave you as orphans.

00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:42.640
 I will come to you.

00:03:43.300 --> 00:03:45.800
 Before long, the world will not see me anymore,

00:03:46.180 --> 00:03:47.659
 but you will see me.

00:03:48.920 --> 00:03:51.879
 And down in verse 25,

00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.919
 All this I have spoken while still with you, said Jesus.

00:03:56.780 --> 00:03:58.079
 And verse 27,

00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.019
 Peace I leave with you.

00:04:05.819 --> 00:04:09.780
 So Jesus has made it abundantly clear that he is going away.

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:11.240
 In fact, just minutes ago,

00:04:11.359 --> 00:04:13.139
 before the passage we're looking at today,

00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:13.680
 he said,

00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:15.800
 Very truly I tell you,

00:04:15.819 --> 00:04:18.219
 it is for your good that I am going away.

00:04:18.220 --> 00:04:20.980
 So he's made it clear that he is leaving.

00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:22.560
 But up until this moment,

00:04:22.940 --> 00:04:25.980
 all of this has been really confusing for the disciples.

00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.700
 They don't understand what he's talking about.

00:04:29.900 --> 00:04:32.420
 And so Jesus, I think, states it one more time

00:04:32.420 --> 00:04:35.400
 here in verse 16

00:04:35.400 --> 00:04:38.260
 to change the subject right to this.

00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.320
 Let's talk about this.

00:04:42.860 --> 00:04:45.440
 In a little while you will see me no more.

00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:47.879
 And then after a little while,

00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:49.439
 you will see me.

00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:54.660
 And John tells us what he and the other disciples

00:04:54.660 --> 00:04:55.879
 were thinking about this.

00:04:57.060 --> 00:04:59.699
 At this, some of his disciples said to one another,

00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:01.720
 What does he mean?

00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:03.079
 By saying,

00:05:03.180 --> 00:05:05.379
 In a little while you will see me no more.

00:05:05.540 --> 00:05:07.959
 And then after a little while you will see me.

00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:10.740
 And because I am going to the Father,

00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:13.319
 they kept asking,

00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:14.259
 What does he mean?

00:05:14.339 --> 00:05:15.459
 By a little while.

00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.800
 We don't understand what he is saying.

00:05:20.500 --> 00:05:21.519
 So picture this.

00:05:21.620 --> 00:05:23.219
 Jesus is either standing or sitting

00:05:23.219 --> 00:05:24.939
 with these 11 men all around him.

00:05:24.980 --> 00:05:26.420
 And he's speaking to the whole group.

00:05:26.579 --> 00:05:27.959
 And you can imagine them

00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:29.680
 almost like students in the classroom.

00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:30.839
 Kind of listening,

00:05:31.019 --> 00:05:32.379
 but then whispering to each other.

00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:34.740
 What do you think he means by that?

00:05:34.779 --> 00:05:35.620
 What is he saying?

00:05:36.539 --> 00:05:37.699
 They didn't get it.

00:05:38.539 --> 00:05:40.039
 They knew he was going away,

00:05:40.219 --> 00:05:41.959
 but where to?

00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:46.620
 What is this place where we can't follow him?

00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:48.560
 What does he mean?

00:05:48.620 --> 00:05:49.799
 I'm going to the Father.

00:05:51.259 --> 00:05:54.099
 How long is a little while?

00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:56.759
 When does it start?

00:05:56.859 --> 00:05:57.579
 When will it end?

00:05:59.799 --> 00:06:01.620
 Well, it was pretty obvious to Jesus

00:06:01.620 --> 00:06:04.459
 that they were confused and didn't get it.

00:06:05.179 --> 00:06:05.879
 Verse 19,

00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:08.420
 Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this,

00:06:08.500 --> 00:06:09.360
 so he said to them,

00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:12.060
 Are you asking one another what I meant

00:06:12.060 --> 00:06:12.680
 when I said,

00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:14.939
 In a little while you will see me no more,

00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:17.040
 and then after a little while,

00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:18.379
 you will see me?

00:06:20.459 --> 00:06:23.199
 Let's just talk about it,

00:06:23.259 --> 00:06:23.879
 says Jesus.

00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:27.100
 And now Jesus begins to address their confusion

00:06:27.100 --> 00:06:29.060
 and answer their questions.

00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:30.199
 Verse 20,

00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:31.699
 Very truly,

00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:32.360
 says Jesus,

00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:33.180
 I tell you,

00:06:34.459 --> 00:06:35.519
 you will weep

00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:37.360
 and mourn

00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.920
 while the world rejoices.

00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:42.319
 You will grieve,

00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:43.939
 but

00:06:43.939 --> 00:06:45.399
 your grief

00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:46.360
 will turn

00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:47.279
 to joy.

00:06:49.019 --> 00:06:50.860
 Now this may not be quite the answer

00:06:50.860 --> 00:06:51.719
 they were expecting.

00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:54.800
 If I'm one of those 11 disciples,

00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:56.699
 I'm kind of hoping

00:06:56.699 --> 00:06:58.759
 that Jesus is going to give me some dates,

00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:00.439
 some numbers.

00:07:01.520 --> 00:07:01.780
 Like,

00:07:01.960 --> 00:07:02.319
 tell me,

00:07:02.379 --> 00:07:03.460
 in hours or days,

00:07:03.579 --> 00:07:06.079
 how long will this first little while be?

00:07:06.620 --> 00:07:07.879
 And when does it start?

00:07:08.540 --> 00:07:09.280
 And how long

00:07:09.280 --> 00:07:10.600
 till we see you again?

00:07:12.980 --> 00:07:14.540
 Jesus doesn't give them numbers

00:07:14.540 --> 00:07:15.300
 to measure by.

00:07:15.379 --> 00:07:15.680
 Instead,

00:07:15.819 --> 00:07:16.639
 he gives them some

00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.100
 emotional signposts.

00:07:20.139 --> 00:07:20.639
 First,

00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:21.400
 Jesus says,

00:07:22.080 --> 00:07:22.720
 you will weep.

00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:24.439
 You will mourn

00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:25.379
 while the world

00:07:25.379 --> 00:07:26.339
 rejoices.

00:07:27.540 --> 00:07:28.180
 But then,

00:07:28.779 --> 00:07:29.660
 your grief

00:07:29.660 --> 00:07:30.459
 will turn

00:07:30.459 --> 00:07:31.120
 to joy.

00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:34.300
 This time

00:07:34.300 --> 00:07:35.199
 that's about to come

00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:35.839
 during which

00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:37.660
 you will see me no more,

00:07:37.740 --> 00:07:38.660
 it will be a time

00:07:38.660 --> 00:07:39.600
 characterized

00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:40.620
 by sorrow.

00:07:42.019 --> 00:07:42.740
 But then,

00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:43.360
 that sorrow

00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:44.240
 will lift.

00:07:45.139 --> 00:07:45.939
 It will break.

00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:47.980
 And there will be joy.

00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:51.519
 Jesus gives them

00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:52.360
 an illustration

00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:53.819
 of what it will be like.

00:07:53.819 --> 00:07:54.680
 He says,

00:07:54.719 --> 00:07:55.199
 it will be like

00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:56.599
 how things go with a woman

00:07:56.599 --> 00:07:57.719
 as she gives birth

00:07:57.719 --> 00:07:58.639
 to a child.

00:07:59.740 --> 00:08:01.040
 A woman giving birth

00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:01.699
 to a child

00:08:01.699 --> 00:08:02.560
 has pain

00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.019
 because her time

00:08:04.019 --> 00:08:04.540
 has come.

00:08:05.540 --> 00:08:06.639
 But when her baby

00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:07.199
 is born,

00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:09.000
 she forgets the anguish

00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:10.039
 because of her joy

00:08:10.039 --> 00:08:10.860
 that a child

00:08:10.860 --> 00:08:12.539
 is born into the world.

00:08:12.540 --> 00:08:14.920
 so with you.

00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:17.020
 Now is your time

00:08:17.020 --> 00:08:17.580
 of grief.

00:08:18.200 --> 00:08:19.819
 But I will see you again

00:08:19.819 --> 00:08:21.920
 and you will rejoice

00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:23.620
 and no one

00:08:23.620 --> 00:08:24.720
 will take away

00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:25.939
 your joy.

00:08:27.820 --> 00:08:28.939
 So first,

00:08:29.080 --> 00:08:29.680
 you will weep.

00:08:30.259 --> 00:08:31.360
 You will mourn.

00:08:31.860 --> 00:08:32.680
 You will grieve.

00:08:33.820 --> 00:08:34.840
 There will be pain.

00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:35.860
 There will be anguish.

00:08:35.860 --> 00:08:37.700
 But then,

00:08:37.860 --> 00:08:38.659
 all of that

00:08:38.659 --> 00:08:40.100
 will melt away

00:08:40.100 --> 00:08:41.539
 and give way

00:08:41.539 --> 00:08:42.200
 to joy

00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:43.820
 and to rejoicing.

00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:45.300
 Now what is Jesus

00:08:45.300 --> 00:08:46.100
 referring to

00:08:46.100 --> 00:08:47.180
 by all this?

00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:48.919
 I believe Jesus

00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:49.720
 is referring to

00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:50.360
 his imminent

00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:51.360
 suffering

00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:52.519
 and death

00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:54.360
 followed by

00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.360
 his resurrection

00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:57.259
 from the dead

00:08:57.259 --> 00:08:58.200
 and appearing again

00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.320
 to his disciples.

00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:01.980
 It's the suffering

00:09:01.980 --> 00:09:02.780
 and death

00:09:02.780 --> 00:09:04.100
 of Jesus

00:09:04.100 --> 00:09:05.000
 that will cause

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:05.800
 them to weep

00:09:05.800 --> 00:09:07.420
 and to mourn

00:09:07.420 --> 00:09:08.200
 and to grieve,

00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:09.640
 to feel that anguish

00:09:09.640 --> 00:09:10.600
 and sorrow.

00:09:15.100 --> 00:09:16.360
 When will this happen?

00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:21.540
 In a little while

00:09:21.540 --> 00:09:22.860
 you will see me no more.

00:09:24.740 --> 00:09:26.040
 If we follow along

00:09:26.040 --> 00:09:27.140
 and keep reading the story,

00:09:27.640 --> 00:09:28.920
 we find out that

00:09:28.920 --> 00:09:30.020
 this first little while

00:09:30.019 --> 00:09:32.139
 is less than 24 hours.

00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:34.879
 In a little while

00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:37.220
 Jesus will be crucified.

00:09:37.779 --> 00:09:38.720
 He will be dead.

00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:40.960
 His body taken down

00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:41.720
 off the cross,

00:09:42.379 --> 00:09:43.259
 buried in the tomb.

00:09:44.419 --> 00:09:45.679
 They won't see him

00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:46.759
 anymore.

00:09:48.179 --> 00:09:48.579
 In fact,

00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:50.220
 this time is so close

00:09:50.220 --> 00:09:51.460
 that in verse 22

00:09:51.460 --> 00:09:52.259
 Jesus says,

00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:54.159
 now is your time

00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:55.299
 of grief.

00:09:56.199 --> 00:09:56.579
 It's just,

00:09:56.779 --> 00:09:57.519
 it's right here.

00:09:57.620 --> 00:09:58.579
 It's hours away.

00:09:58.580 --> 00:10:00.900
 It's all this starts.

00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:01.720
 By this,

00:10:02.060 --> 00:10:03.220
 by tomorrow afternoon,

00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:04.460
 the disciples

00:10:04.460 --> 00:10:05.540
 will be plunged

00:10:05.540 --> 00:10:07.660
 into the deepest grief

00:10:07.660 --> 00:10:09.100
 and sorrow

00:10:09.100 --> 00:10:10.540
 they have ever known

00:10:10.540 --> 00:10:11.740
 as they watch this

00:10:11.740 --> 00:10:12.700
 happen to Jesus.

00:10:14.280 --> 00:10:15.840
 But Jesus wants them

00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:17.060
 to know in advance

00:10:17.060 --> 00:10:18.160
 as difficult,

00:10:18.580 --> 00:10:20.080
 as painful

00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:21.740
 as that time

00:10:21.740 --> 00:10:22.300
 will feel,

00:10:22.299 --> 00:10:24.120
 that pain

00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:25.679
 and sorrow

00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:26.759
 and anguish

00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:27.579
 will break

00:10:27.579 --> 00:10:29.519
 and it will be

00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:31.159
 replaced with joy.

00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:33.559
 Rejoicing.

00:10:35.359 --> 00:10:36.419
 And I love

00:10:36.419 --> 00:10:37.120
 the illustration

00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:38.219
 that Jesus gives.

00:10:38.740 --> 00:10:39.879
 I'll admit

00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:40.659
 up front,

00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:41.579
 being a man,

00:10:41.779 --> 00:10:42.719
 I will never know

00:10:42.719 --> 00:10:43.559
 the full extent

00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:45.339
 of what it's like

00:10:45.339 --> 00:10:46.459
 to go through labor

00:10:46.459 --> 00:10:47.719
 and to deliver

00:10:47.719 --> 00:10:48.339
 a baby,

00:10:49.059 --> 00:10:50.159
 what that feels like.

00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:52.519
 But I'll never forget

00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:53.000
 the birth

00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:54.559
 of our first child,

00:10:55.179 --> 00:10:55.539
 Callie.

00:10:56.860 --> 00:10:57.759
 Nine months

00:10:57.759 --> 00:10:58.339
 we waited

00:10:58.339 --> 00:11:00.319
 and the anticipation

00:11:00.319 --> 00:11:01.579
 just kept building.

00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:04.839
 What will this child

00:11:04.839 --> 00:11:05.439
 be like?

00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:07.120
 Is it a boy?

00:11:07.219 --> 00:11:07.839
 Is it a girl?

00:11:08.839 --> 00:11:10.039
 What will she look like?

00:11:11.620 --> 00:11:12.419
 And then Jen

00:11:12.419 --> 00:11:13.159
 went into labor

00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:15.559
 and it was

00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:16.279
 a long labor.

00:11:16.819 --> 00:11:17.919
 I forget the exact

00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:18.779
 number of hours

00:11:18.779 --> 00:11:19.639
 which proves

00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:20.599
 Jesus' point.

00:11:22.199 --> 00:11:23.259
 But something like

00:11:23.259 --> 00:11:24.399
 20 plus hours

00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:26.240
 from the time

00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:26.939
 that the contraction

00:11:26.939 --> 00:11:27.479
 started

00:11:27.479 --> 00:11:28.299
 until the time

00:11:28.299 --> 00:11:29.439
 that it came

00:11:29.439 --> 00:11:30.559
 for Jen to push.

00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:32.399
 I was tired.

00:11:32.860 --> 00:11:33.899
 I was feeling

00:11:33.899 --> 00:11:34.799
 weary.

00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:36.500
 It was intense.

00:11:37.219 --> 00:11:37.879
 And I even got

00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:38.319
 some sleep

00:11:38.319 --> 00:11:38.939
 the night before

00:11:38.939 --> 00:11:39.519
 all this.

00:11:40.339 --> 00:11:41.419
 But Jen didn't.

00:11:41.599 --> 00:11:42.759
 She had contractions

00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:43.379
 through the night

00:11:43.379 --> 00:11:44.159
 and she was up

00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:44.799
 through the night.

00:11:45.839 --> 00:11:46.639
 I can't imagine

00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:47.759
 how difficult it was

00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:48.159
 for her

00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:49.259
 or what it felt like.

00:11:49.779 --> 00:11:50.899
 But I do remember

00:11:50.899 --> 00:11:52.019
 those last hours

00:11:52.019 --> 00:11:54.799
 before Callie was born.

00:11:55.539 --> 00:11:56.340
 I remember

00:11:56.340 --> 00:11:57.319
 how long they felt.

00:11:58.399 --> 00:11:59.120
 I remember

00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:00.039
 seeing how

00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:01.419
 worn out

00:12:01.419 --> 00:12:02.879
 Jen looked.

00:12:02.980 --> 00:12:03.659
 How tired.

00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:05.139
 And then eventually

00:12:05.139 --> 00:12:06.080
 it started to get

00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:07.199
 really intense.

00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:08.639
 And the pain

00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:09.740
 went through the roof

00:12:09.740 --> 00:12:10.700
 for Jen.

00:12:11.500 --> 00:12:12.480
 And I just remember

00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:12.899
 thinking,

00:12:13.100 --> 00:12:14.340
 this is so grueling.

00:12:14.419 --> 00:12:15.620
 This is so hard.

00:12:15.620 --> 00:12:17.200
 How are we going

00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:18.139
 to get through this?

00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:21.299
 But I'll never forget

00:12:21.299 --> 00:12:22.740
 the moment

00:12:22.740 --> 00:12:24.179
 that Callie was born

00:12:24.179 --> 00:12:26.320
 and we laid eyes

00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:26.659
 on her

00:12:26.659 --> 00:12:27.799
 for the first time

00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:28.879
 and she was brought

00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:29.379
 right up

00:12:29.379 --> 00:12:30.279
 into our arms.

00:12:30.940 --> 00:12:31.919
 All of that

00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:33.159
 just melted away.

00:12:34.259 --> 00:12:34.779
 And we were

00:12:34.779 --> 00:12:35.740
 so happy.

00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:37.740
 It was one of the

00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:38.560
 happiest moments

00:12:38.560 --> 00:12:39.440
 of my life.

00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:41.379
 There she was

00:12:41.379 --> 00:12:41.919
 with all her

00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:42.460
 sweet little

00:12:42.460 --> 00:12:43.360
 baby features.

00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.320
 and all that

00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:47.180
 stuff before

00:12:47.180 --> 00:12:48.440
 was just gone.

00:12:50.659 --> 00:12:51.460
 This is the

00:12:51.460 --> 00:12:52.000
 illustration

00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:53.000
 Jesus uses

00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:53.700
 for how it's

00:12:53.700 --> 00:12:54.279
 going to be

00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:55.860
 for these men.

00:12:56.100 --> 00:12:57.360
 It's going to be

00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:57.779
 hard.

00:12:58.240 --> 00:12:59.379
 It's going to be

00:12:59.379 --> 00:12:59.919
 painful.

00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:01.840
 There will be

00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:02.300
 anguish

00:13:02.300 --> 00:13:03.399
 but all of that

00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:04.480
 will melt away

00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:06.080
 rather quickly.

00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:08.340
 In an instant.

00:13:08.980 --> 00:13:09.639
 You'll forget

00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:10.320
 the anguish.

00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:11.100
 It'll be gone.

00:13:11.100 --> 00:13:12.580
 You will rejoice.

00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:15.180
 And notice

00:13:15.180 --> 00:13:15.879
 the quality

00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:16.920
 of this joy

00:13:16.920 --> 00:13:17.639
 that will come.

00:13:17.779 --> 00:13:18.500
 Verse 22.

00:13:22.180 --> 00:13:23.560
 You will rejoice

00:13:23.560 --> 00:13:25.159
 and no one

00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:26.159
 will take away

00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:26.960
 your joy.

00:13:27.800 --> 00:13:28.920
 Says Jesus.

00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:30.820
 This isn't

00:13:30.820 --> 00:13:31.220
 going to be

00:13:31.220 --> 00:13:32.060
 a brief glimmer

00:13:32.060 --> 00:13:32.820
 of happiness

00:13:32.820 --> 00:13:34.320
 in the midst

00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:34.899
 of an ever

00:13:34.899 --> 00:13:36.000
 sorrowful life.

00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:37.660
 It's going to be

00:13:37.660 --> 00:13:38.200
 a deep

00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:39.460
 lasting joy

00:13:39.460 --> 00:13:40.259
 that doesn't

00:13:40.259 --> 00:13:40.740
 fade

00:13:40.740 --> 00:13:41.460
 and that

00:13:41.460 --> 00:13:41.940
 nobody

00:13:41.940 --> 00:13:42.620
 can steal

00:13:42.620 --> 00:13:43.100
 from them

00:13:43.100 --> 00:13:43.560
 or take

00:13:43.560 --> 00:13:44.100
 away from

00:13:44.100 --> 00:13:44.360
 them.

00:13:46.560 --> 00:13:47.259
 And what

00:13:47.259 --> 00:13:47.560
 will be

00:13:47.560 --> 00:13:48.019
 the cause

00:13:48.019 --> 00:13:48.360
 of this

00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:48.700
 joy?

00:13:49.980 --> 00:13:50.500
 Jesus

00:13:50.500 --> 00:13:51.060
 tells them

00:13:51.060 --> 00:13:51.480
 there in

00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:52.560
 verse 22.

00:13:53.779 --> 00:13:54.519
 Now is

00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:54.919
 your time

00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:55.440
 of grief

00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:56.320
 but I

00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:57.279
 will see

00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:57.840
 you

00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:59.000
 again

00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:00.500
 and you

00:14:00.500 --> 00:14:00.919
 will

00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:02.200
 rejoice.

00:14:05.620 --> 00:14:06.360
 It is

00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:06.840
 seeing

00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:07.340
 Jesus

00:14:07.340 --> 00:14:08.080
 again

00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:10.080
 alive

00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:11.680
 after

00:14:11.680 --> 00:14:12.780
 his death

00:14:12.780 --> 00:14:14.240
 that will

00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:14.980
 bring this

00:14:14.980 --> 00:14:15.540
 flood of

00:14:15.540 --> 00:14:15.980
 joy

00:14:15.980 --> 00:14:18.060
 and push

00:14:18.060 --> 00:14:18.440
 away

00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:19.080
 all the

00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:19.440
 sorrow.

00:14:20.800 --> 00:14:21.720
 So we

00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:22.160
 know from

00:14:22.160 --> 00:14:22.660
 the story

00:14:22.660 --> 00:14:23.500
 which follows

00:14:23.500 --> 00:14:24.800
 here in

00:14:24.800 --> 00:14:25.240
 John and

00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:25.600
 the other

00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:26.120
 gospels

00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:26.580
 that this

00:14:26.580 --> 00:14:27.300
 second

00:14:27.300 --> 00:14:28.460
 little while

00:14:28.460 --> 00:14:29.900
 is the

00:14:29.900 --> 00:14:30.700
 three days

00:14:30.700 --> 00:14:31.080
 between

00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:31.480
 Jesus'

00:14:31.680 --> 00:14:31.960
 death

00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:32.900
 and

00:14:32.900 --> 00:14:33.480
 resurrection

00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:34.720
 on Sunday

00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:35.320
 morning.

00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:37.320
 So what

00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:37.800
 is Jesus

00:14:37.800 --> 00:14:38.259
 doing?

00:14:39.300 --> 00:14:39.920
 He's

00:14:39.920 --> 00:14:40.399
 preparing

00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:41.519
 these men

00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:41.960
 for what's

00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:42.379
 about to

00:14:42.379 --> 00:14:42.960
 happen in

00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:43.300
 less than

00:14:43.300 --> 00:14:44.220
 24 hours.

00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:45.700
 He will

00:14:45.700 --> 00:14:46.159
 be taken

00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:46.740
 from them.

00:14:47.379 --> 00:14:48.039
 He will

00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:48.759
 suffer and

00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:49.120
 die.

00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:50.840
 And how

00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:51.120
 will they

00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:51.480
 get through

00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:51.920
 this?

00:14:52.920 --> 00:14:53.899
 By clinging

00:14:53.899 --> 00:14:54.500
 to Jesus'

00:14:54.740 --> 00:14:55.539
 words of

00:14:55.539 --> 00:14:56.000
 promise

00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:56.920
 that in

00:14:56.920 --> 00:14:57.360
 just a

00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:57.940
 little while

00:14:57.940 --> 00:14:59.300
 they will

00:14:59.300 --> 00:15:00.200
 see him

00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:00.659
 again.

00:15:00.659 --> 00:15:02.360
 and all

00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:03.079
 that grief

00:15:03.079 --> 00:15:03.939
 will give

00:15:03.939 --> 00:15:05.559
 way to

00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:05.980
 joy.

00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:07.079
 To deep

00:15:07.079 --> 00:15:07.719
 abiding

00:15:07.719 --> 00:15:08.419
 joy.

00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:12.000
 Now at

00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:12.419
 this point

00:15:12.419 --> 00:15:12.980
 Jesus has

00:15:12.980 --> 00:15:13.519
 answered their

00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:13.980
 question.

00:15:14.539 --> 00:15:15.000
 The first

00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:15.600
 one anyway.

00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:17.019
 And it's

00:15:17.019 --> 00:15:17.579
 easy for us

00:15:17.579 --> 00:15:18.179
 to see that

00:15:18.179 --> 00:15:18.699
 because we

00:15:18.699 --> 00:15:19.120
 kind of can

00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:19.639
 look back

00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:19.899
 and we

00:15:19.899 --> 00:15:20.240
 know how

00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:20.699
 the story

00:15:20.699 --> 00:15:21.219
 goes.

00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:23.319
 But remember

00:15:23.319 --> 00:15:24.100
 the disciples

00:15:24.100 --> 00:15:25.559
 I mean

00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:26.120
 Jesus has

00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:26.659
 already told

00:15:26.659 --> 00:15:27.179
 them a few

00:15:27.179 --> 00:15:28.339
 times he's

00:15:28.339 --> 00:15:28.620
 going to

00:15:28.620 --> 00:15:29.000
 die,

00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:29.860
 he's going

00:15:29.860 --> 00:15:30.220
 to rise

00:15:30.220 --> 00:15:30.559
 from the

00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:31.000
 dead three

00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:31.659
 days later.

00:15:32.819 --> 00:15:33.819
 They probably

00:15:33.819 --> 00:15:34.419
 still aren't

00:15:34.419 --> 00:15:35.079
 connecting the

00:15:35.079 --> 00:15:35.959
 dots between

00:15:35.959 --> 00:15:36.479
 Jesus'

00:15:36.979 --> 00:15:37.799
 death and

00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:38.759
 their grief

00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:39.339
 and Jesus

00:15:39.339 --> 00:15:40.119
 rising from

00:15:40.119 --> 00:15:40.579
 the dead

00:15:40.579 --> 00:15:41.099
 and their

00:15:41.099 --> 00:15:41.839
 joy,

00:15:41.979 --> 00:15:42.859
 their rejoicing.

00:15:45.179 --> 00:15:46.000
 We know

00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:46.759
 this because

00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:47.739
 even after

00:15:47.739 --> 00:15:48.559
 Jesus rises

00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:49.000
 from the

00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:49.339
 dead and

00:15:49.339 --> 00:15:49.679
 the women

00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:50.219
 see the

00:15:50.219 --> 00:15:50.839
 empty tomb

00:15:50.839 --> 00:15:51.179
 and the

00:15:51.179 --> 00:15:51.919
 angels and

00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:52.879
 Jesus and

00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:53.399
 then go tell

00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:54.059
 the disciples

00:15:54.059 --> 00:15:55.159
 they don't

00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:55.659
 believe the

00:15:55.659 --> 00:15:57.419
 women at

00:15:57.419 --> 00:15:57.819
 first.

00:15:59.459 --> 00:16:00.119
 And then

00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:00.480
 there's this

00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:00.919
 bit about

00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:01.560
 Jesus going

00:16:01.560 --> 00:16:01.940
 to the

00:16:01.940 --> 00:16:02.259
 father.

00:16:02.379 --> 00:16:02.679
 When will

00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:03.399
 that happen?

00:16:04.560 --> 00:16:04.820
 Does

00:16:04.820 --> 00:16:05.320
 Jesus go

00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:05.600
 to the

00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:06.460
 father when

00:16:06.460 --> 00:16:07.100
 he dies?

00:16:08.340 --> 00:16:08.960
 Or is

00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:09.519
 that later?

00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:11.740
 So now

00:16:11.740 --> 00:16:12.279
 Jesus is

00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:12.500
 going to

00:16:12.500 --> 00:16:13.039
 answer that

00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:13.879
 second question.

00:16:14.560 --> 00:16:14.980
 We're going

00:16:14.980 --> 00:16:15.620
 to skip over

00:16:15.620 --> 00:16:16.700
 verses 23 to

00:16:16.700 --> 00:16:17.659
 27 because

00:16:17.659 --> 00:16:18.200
 in the midst

00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:19.179
 there Jesus

00:16:19.179 --> 00:16:19.860
 weaves in

00:16:19.860 --> 00:16:20.419
 some stuff

00:16:20.419 --> 00:16:21.159
 about prayer

00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:21.580
 and about

00:16:21.580 --> 00:16:22.320
 asking and

00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:23.120
 about their

00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:23.980
 relationship with

00:16:23.980 --> 00:16:24.460
 the father.

00:16:24.899 --> 00:16:25.259
 We're going

00:16:25.259 --> 00:16:25.720
 to go right

00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:26.259
 down to

00:16:26.259 --> 00:16:27.399
 verse 28.

00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:27.480
 28.

00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:28.980
 Jesus makes

00:16:28.980 --> 00:16:29.419
 another

00:16:29.419 --> 00:16:29.980
 statement

00:16:29.980 --> 00:16:32.299
 very direct

00:16:32.299 --> 00:16:32.879
 similar to

00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:33.299
 the one he

00:16:33.299 --> 00:16:33.959
 just made

00:16:33.959 --> 00:16:35.240
 and he

00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:35.860
 answers that

00:16:35.860 --> 00:16:36.740
 second question

00:16:36.740 --> 00:16:37.299
 of what he

00:16:37.299 --> 00:16:37.840
 means when

00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:38.319
 he says

00:16:38.319 --> 00:16:39.699
 because I

00:16:39.699 --> 00:16:40.179
 am going

00:16:40.179 --> 00:16:40.659
 to the

00:16:40.659 --> 00:16:40.939
 father.

00:16:41.079 --> 00:16:41.360
 What does

00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:41.919
 that mean?

00:16:41.980 --> 00:16:42.539
 I am going

00:16:42.539 --> 00:16:42.899
 to the

00:16:42.899 --> 00:16:43.259
 father.

00:16:44.019 --> 00:16:45.079
 Verse 28

00:16:45.079 --> 00:16:45.980
 Jesus says

00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:47.579
 I came

00:16:47.579 --> 00:16:48.500
 from the

00:16:48.500 --> 00:16:49.600
 father and

00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:50.199
 entered the

00:16:50.199 --> 00:16:50.519
 world.

00:16:51.319 --> 00:16:52.679
 Now I

00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:53.259
 am leaving

00:16:53.259 --> 00:16:53.819
 the world

00:16:53.819 --> 00:16:54.679
 and going

00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:55.879
 back to

00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:56.379
 the father.

00:16:56.379 --> 00:16:56.439
 father.

00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:58.240
 Jesus just

00:16:58.240 --> 00:16:58.620
 says it

00:16:58.620 --> 00:16:59.399
 point blank

00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:00.639
 as direct

00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:01.200
 as can

00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:01.519
 be.

00:17:01.980 --> 00:17:02.779
 He answers

00:17:02.779 --> 00:17:03.419
 that question

00:17:03.419 --> 00:17:03.779
 of where

00:17:03.779 --> 00:17:04.420
 he is going

00:17:04.420 --> 00:17:05.279
 again and

00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:05.579
 we could

00:17:05.579 --> 00:17:06.140
 have probably

00:17:06.140 --> 00:17:06.839
 come to

00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:07.420
 this if we

00:17:07.420 --> 00:17:07.980
 were listening

00:17:07.980 --> 00:17:08.759
 closely and

00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:09.720
 following closely

00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:10.779
 all along

00:17:10.779 --> 00:17:11.420
 through everything

00:17:11.420 --> 00:17:12.039
 Jesus has

00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:12.400
 said.

00:17:15.140 --> 00:17:15.920
 Notice the

00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:16.279
 difference

00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:16.859
 though between

00:17:16.859 --> 00:17:18.019
 this statement

00:17:18.019 --> 00:17:18.619
 and the

00:17:18.619 --> 00:17:19.000
 previous

00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:19.480
 statement.

00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:21.019
 The first

00:17:21.019 --> 00:17:21.420
 one was

00:17:21.420 --> 00:17:22.140
 explaining how

00:17:22.140 --> 00:17:22.500
 he would

00:17:22.500 --> 00:17:23.240
 leave for a

00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:23.839
 short time

00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:24.140
 and they

00:17:24.140 --> 00:17:24.640
 wouldn't see

00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:25.700
 him referring

00:17:25.700 --> 00:17:26.140
 to his

00:17:26.140 --> 00:17:27.600
 death but

00:17:27.600 --> 00:17:28.039
 then after

00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:28.340
 a little

00:17:28.340 --> 00:17:28.840
 while they

00:17:28.840 --> 00:17:29.319
 would see

00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:30.440
 him referring

00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:31.000
 to his

00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:32.100
 rising from

00:17:32.100 --> 00:17:32.460
 the dead

00:17:32.460 --> 00:17:32.920
 and appearing

00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:33.440
 to them.

00:17:34.380 --> 00:17:35.080
 But with

00:17:35.080 --> 00:17:35.700
 this statement

00:17:35.700 --> 00:17:36.380
 Jesus is

00:17:36.380 --> 00:17:37.220
 explaining how

00:17:37.220 --> 00:17:37.700
 things will

00:17:37.700 --> 00:17:38.279
 go in the

00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:39.160
 longer term.

00:17:40.259 --> 00:17:41.180
 He's telling

00:17:41.180 --> 00:17:42.259
 him the

00:17:42.259 --> 00:17:42.840
 time has

00:17:42.840 --> 00:17:44.160
 come for

00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:45.180
 me to

00:17:45.180 --> 00:17:45.740
 leave this

00:17:45.740 --> 00:17:46.860
 world and

00:17:46.860 --> 00:17:47.840
 go back

00:17:47.840 --> 00:17:49.039
 to heaven

00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:50.319
 to the

00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:50.680
 father.

00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:52.900
 just as

00:17:52.900 --> 00:17:53.900
 I came

00:17:53.900 --> 00:17:54.740
 down from

00:17:54.740 --> 00:17:55.799
 heaven and

00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:56.460
 entered the

00:17:56.460 --> 00:17:58.100
 world the

00:17:58.100 --> 00:17:58.820
 same way I'm

00:17:58.820 --> 00:18:00.279
 going out of

00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:00.660
 the world

00:18:00.660 --> 00:18:01.759
 now back

00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:03.240
 to the

00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:03.580
 father.

00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:10.900
 Then Jesus'

00:18:11.100 --> 00:18:11.799
 disciples said

00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:14.539
 now you're

00:18:14.539 --> 00:18:15.539
 speaking clearly

00:18:15.539 --> 00:18:16.259
 and without

00:18:16.259 --> 00:18:16.860
 figures of

00:18:16.860 --> 00:18:17.220
 speech.

00:18:17.220 --> 00:18:17.259
 speech.

00:18:17.900 --> 00:18:18.480
 Now we can

00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:19.059
 see that you

00:18:19.059 --> 00:18:19.620
 know all

00:18:19.620 --> 00:18:20.240
 things and

00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:20.720
 that you do

00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:21.640
 not even need

00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:22.460
 to have anyone

00:18:22.460 --> 00:18:23.059
 ask you

00:18:23.059 --> 00:18:23.539
 questions.

00:18:24.660 --> 00:18:25.420
 This makes

00:18:25.420 --> 00:18:26.120
 us believe

00:18:26.120 --> 00:18:27.120
 that you

00:18:27.120 --> 00:18:27.640
 came from

00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:27.980
 God.

00:18:28.220 --> 00:18:28.779
 So the

00:18:28.779 --> 00:18:29.480
 quarter finally

00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:29.920
 drops.

00:18:30.059 --> 00:18:30.579
 The disciples

00:18:30.579 --> 00:18:31.579
 finally get

00:18:31.579 --> 00:18:31.740
 it.

00:18:31.819 --> 00:18:32.180
 At least

00:18:32.180 --> 00:18:33.059
 this part

00:18:33.059 --> 00:18:33.420
 of it.

00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:35.000
 They understand

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:35.860
 Jesus is not

00:18:35.860 --> 00:18:36.480
 leaving them to

00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:37.100
 go some other

00:18:37.100 --> 00:18:37.960
 place here on

00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:38.339
 earth.

00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:39.500
 This is why

00:18:39.500 --> 00:18:40.000
 they cannot

00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:40.779
 follow him.

00:18:41.259 --> 00:18:41.880
 He came

00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:42.940
 from heaven

00:18:42.940 --> 00:18:43.600
 from the

00:18:43.600 --> 00:18:44.620
 father down

00:18:44.620 --> 00:18:45.200
 to earth and

00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:45.779
 now he's going

00:18:45.779 --> 00:18:46.799
 back to the

00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:47.140
 father.

00:18:47.220 --> 00:18:48.019
 back to

00:18:48.019 --> 00:18:48.319
 heaven.

00:18:49.940 --> 00:18:50.680
 And he will

00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:51.240
 be with them

00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:51.819
 no longer.

00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:54.759
 This is what

00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:55.440
 we call

00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:56.480
 Jesus'

00:18:56.900 --> 00:18:57.460
 ascension.

00:18:58.980 --> 00:18:59.600
 Jesus is

00:18:59.600 --> 00:19:00.259
 foretelling the

00:19:00.259 --> 00:19:00.759
 day when he

00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:01.360
 will be taken

00:19:01.360 --> 00:19:01.940
 up to heaven

00:19:01.940 --> 00:19:03.360
 and as the

00:19:03.360 --> 00:19:04.000
 story goes you

00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:04.600
 can read about

00:19:04.600 --> 00:19:05.079
 it in Acts

00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:05.720
 chapter 1.

00:19:07.259 --> 00:19:08.079
 These same

00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:09.039
 men are there

00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:10.660
 and right

00:19:10.660 --> 00:19:11.500
 before their

00:19:11.500 --> 00:19:12.200
 eyes Jesus

00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:13.660
 starts lifting

00:19:13.660 --> 00:19:14.440
 off the ground

00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:15.279
 and goes

00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:15.960
 right up

00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:17.019
 into the

00:19:17.019 --> 00:19:17.340
 sky

00:19:17.340 --> 00:19:18.539
 through the

00:19:18.539 --> 00:19:18.920
 clouds

00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:20.220
 and disappears

00:19:20.220 --> 00:19:21.559
 into heaven.

00:19:22.840 --> 00:19:23.480
 Now we

00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:24.340
 understand

00:19:24.340 --> 00:19:25.259
 they say

00:19:25.259 --> 00:19:25.920
 we know

00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:26.240
 what you

00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:26.579
 mean

00:19:26.579 --> 00:19:27.779
 when you

00:19:27.779 --> 00:19:28.140
 say that

00:19:28.140 --> 00:19:28.600
 you're going

00:19:28.600 --> 00:19:29.600
 and I love

00:19:29.600 --> 00:19:30.019
 this little

00:19:30.019 --> 00:19:30.720
 other part

00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:31.079
 that they

00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:31.340
 say

00:19:31.340 --> 00:19:32.019
 now we

00:19:32.019 --> 00:19:32.500
 can see

00:19:32.500 --> 00:19:32.960
 that you

00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:33.360
 know

00:19:33.360 --> 00:19:34.380
 all things

00:19:34.380 --> 00:19:35.380
 will

00:19:35.380 --> 00:19:36.200
 be crucified.

00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:37.140
 I think

00:19:37.140 --> 00:19:37.560
 that's worth

00:19:37.560 --> 00:19:38.260
 some meditation

00:19:38.260 --> 00:19:38.700
 and some

00:19:38.700 --> 00:19:39.320
 thought there.

00:19:40.380 --> 00:19:41.120
 That's quite

00:19:41.120 --> 00:19:41.680
 the statement.

00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:44.440
 But let's

00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:45.020
 reflect back

00:19:45.020 --> 00:19:45.560
 on this whole

00:19:45.560 --> 00:19:46.240
 conversation

00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:46.960
 this evening.

00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:48.740
 Jesus has

00:19:48.740 --> 00:19:49.200
 been telling

00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:49.800
 these 11

00:19:49.800 --> 00:19:50.320
 men about

00:19:50.320 --> 00:19:51.260
 how things

00:19:51.260 --> 00:19:51.640
 are going

00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:52.100
 to go

00:19:52.100 --> 00:19:53.700
 in the next

00:19:53.700 --> 00:19:54.580
 several months.

00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:56.540
 All of it.

00:19:57.940 --> 00:19:58.420
 He's been

00:19:58.420 --> 00:19:59.120
 telling them

00:19:59.120 --> 00:20:00.560
 about how

00:20:00.560 --> 00:20:00.940
 he will

00:20:00.940 --> 00:20:02.020
 be crucified.

00:20:02.760 --> 00:20:03.180
 How they

00:20:03.180 --> 00:20:03.580
 won't see

00:20:03.579 --> 00:20:04.159
 him anymore.

00:20:04.460 --> 00:20:04.919
 How he

00:20:04.919 --> 00:20:05.339
 will rise

00:20:05.339 --> 00:20:05.659
 from the

00:20:05.659 --> 00:20:06.059
 dead and

00:20:06.059 --> 00:20:06.399
 they will

00:20:06.399 --> 00:20:06.779
 see him

00:20:06.779 --> 00:20:07.220
 again and

00:20:07.220 --> 00:20:07.599
 rejoice.

00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:08.439
 How he

00:20:08.439 --> 00:20:09.139
 will leave

00:20:09.139 --> 00:20:09.460
 them and

00:20:09.460 --> 00:20:09.919
 go to the

00:20:09.919 --> 00:20:10.279
 father.

00:20:10.659 --> 00:20:11.099
 How the

00:20:11.099 --> 00:20:11.759
 spirit will

00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:12.399
 come down

00:20:12.399 --> 00:20:12.980
 to them

00:20:12.980 --> 00:20:13.679
 and guide

00:20:13.679 --> 00:20:14.039
 them into

00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:14.679
 all truth

00:20:14.679 --> 00:20:15.319
 and speak

00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:15.839
 to them.

00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:17.779
 And on

00:20:17.779 --> 00:20:18.099
 and on.

00:20:18.220 --> 00:20:18.679
 All of it

00:20:18.679 --> 00:20:19.339
 will happen

00:20:19.339 --> 00:20:21.139
 exactly like

00:20:21.139 --> 00:20:21.679
 Jesus is

00:20:21.679 --> 00:20:22.159
 telling them

00:20:22.159 --> 00:20:22.419
 it will

00:20:22.419 --> 00:20:22.779
 happen.

00:20:25.699 --> 00:20:26.179
 Disciples

00:20:26.179 --> 00:20:26.699
 haven't even

00:20:26.699 --> 00:20:27.299
 lived through

00:20:27.299 --> 00:20:27.779
 all of this

00:20:27.779 --> 00:20:28.220
 yet and

00:20:28.220 --> 00:20:29.659
 they're already

00:20:29.659 --> 00:20:30.399
 realizing

00:20:30.399 --> 00:20:32.819
 now we

00:20:32.819 --> 00:20:33.339
 get it.

00:20:33.579 --> 00:20:34.159
 you know

00:20:34.159 --> 00:20:35.039
 all things.

00:20:35.199 --> 00:20:35.419
 I mean

00:20:35.419 --> 00:20:36.179
 you're the

00:20:36.179 --> 00:20:36.559
 one who

00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:37.099
 has come

00:20:37.099 --> 00:20:37.619
 from heaven

00:20:37.619 --> 00:20:39.460
 down to

00:20:39.460 --> 00:20:40.199
 earth and

00:20:40.199 --> 00:20:40.500
 now you're

00:20:40.500 --> 00:20:40.960
 going back

00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:41.319
 to heaven.

00:20:41.419 --> 00:20:41.659
 You don't

00:20:41.659 --> 00:20:42.319
 even need

00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:43.099
 us to

00:20:43.099 --> 00:20:43.599
 ask you

00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:44.299
 questions

00:20:44.299 --> 00:20:46.039
 or anybody

00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:46.740
 to question

00:20:46.740 --> 00:20:47.139
 you.

00:20:48.439 --> 00:20:49.079
 It's like

00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:49.240
 they're

00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:49.740
 acknowledging

00:20:49.740 --> 00:20:50.339
 you're the

00:20:50.339 --> 00:20:50.740
 ultimate

00:20:50.740 --> 00:20:51.659
 authority here

00:20:51.659 --> 00:20:53.079
 on everything.

00:20:54.419 --> 00:20:55.099
 You know

00:20:55.099 --> 00:20:55.839
 all things.

00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:55.899
 peace.

00:21:00.779 --> 00:21:01.339
 Well now

00:21:01.339 --> 00:21:02.199
 Jesus says

00:21:02.199 --> 00:21:02.480
 a little

00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:02.959
 bit more.

00:21:03.299 --> 00:21:03.419
 We're

00:21:03.419 --> 00:21:03.619
 going to

00:21:03.619 --> 00:21:04.480
 skip past

00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:04.959
 some of

00:21:04.959 --> 00:21:05.859
 it and

00:21:05.859 --> 00:21:06.000
 we're

00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:06.199
 going to

00:21:06.199 --> 00:21:06.480
 go to

00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:06.839
 the very

00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:07.259
 end and

00:21:07.259 --> 00:21:07.819
 hear Jesus

00:21:07.819 --> 00:21:08.359
 closing

00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:09.919
 words of

00:21:09.919 --> 00:21:10.339
 comfort.

00:21:12.339 --> 00:21:13.399
 Verse 33

00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:15.380
 Jesus says

00:21:15.380 --> 00:21:16.320
 I have

00:21:16.320 --> 00:21:16.860
 told you

00:21:16.860 --> 00:21:17.740
 these things

00:21:17.740 --> 00:21:18.920
 so that

00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:19.960
 in me

00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:20.980
 you may

00:21:20.980 --> 00:21:21.500
 have

00:21:21.500 --> 00:21:22.300
 peace.

00:21:23.560 --> 00:21:24.780
 In this

00:21:24.780 --> 00:21:25.200
 world

00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:26.640
 you will

00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:26.960
 have

00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:27.400
 trouble

00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:29.380
 but take

00:21:29.380 --> 00:21:29.740
 heart

00:21:29.740 --> 00:21:31.600
 I have

00:21:31.600 --> 00:21:32.360
 overcome

00:21:32.360 --> 00:21:33.780
 the world.

00:21:33.779 --> 00:21:37.859
 I love

00:21:37.859 --> 00:21:38.460
 these words.

00:21:39.740 --> 00:21:40.440
 This is

00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:40.879
 the purpose

00:21:40.879 --> 00:21:41.279
 of this

00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:41.519
 whole

00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:42.279
 conversation

00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:42.819
 that Jesus

00:21:42.819 --> 00:21:43.279
 has been

00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:43.619
 having

00:21:43.619 --> 00:21:44.059
 with them.

00:21:44.819 --> 00:21:45.299
 Everything

00:21:45.299 --> 00:21:45.700
 he's been

00:21:45.700 --> 00:21:46.339
 saying and

00:21:46.339 --> 00:21:46.859
 telling them

00:21:46.859 --> 00:21:47.759
 it's for

00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:48.139
 this.

00:21:48.339 --> 00:21:48.700
 It's to

00:21:48.700 --> 00:21:49.139
 put their

00:21:49.139 --> 00:21:49.680
 hearts at

00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:50.099
 ease.

00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:51.619
 It's to

00:21:51.619 --> 00:21:52.119
 still the

00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:52.480
 fears.

00:21:52.980 --> 00:21:53.399
 It's to

00:21:53.399 --> 00:21:53.879
 take away

00:21:53.879 --> 00:21:54.379
 the anxious

00:21:54.379 --> 00:21:55.059
 thoughts and

00:21:55.059 --> 00:21:55.639
 feelings and

00:21:55.639 --> 00:21:56.299
 replace them

00:21:56.299 --> 00:21:57.139
 with peace.

00:21:57.660 --> 00:21:58.599
 That peace

00:21:58.599 --> 00:21:59.180
 that comes

00:21:59.180 --> 00:21:59.940
 from trusting

00:21:59.940 --> 00:22:01.200
 in him.

00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:04.259
 In this

00:22:04.259 --> 00:22:04.720
 world

00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:05.480
 he says

00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:06.740
 you will

00:22:06.740 --> 00:22:07.059
 have

00:22:07.059 --> 00:22:07.480
 trouble.

00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:10.279
 These

00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:10.740
 words we

00:22:10.740 --> 00:22:10.920
 should

00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:11.299
 consider

00:22:11.299 --> 00:22:11.799
 carefully.

00:22:12.019 --> 00:22:12.500
 First we

00:22:12.500 --> 00:22:13.519
 zero in

00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:13.840
 on that

00:22:13.840 --> 00:22:14.059
 word

00:22:14.059 --> 00:22:14.480
 trouble.

00:22:15.539 --> 00:22:15.880
 Most

00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:16.460
 translations

00:22:16.460 --> 00:22:17.039
 say in

00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:17.440
 this world

00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:17.720
 you will

00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:17.960
 have

00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:18.880
 tribulation.

00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:20.200
 A little

00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:20.580
 bit of an

00:22:20.580 --> 00:22:21.360
 older less

00:22:21.360 --> 00:22:22.259
 used word.

00:22:22.860 --> 00:22:23.160
 Others

00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:23.680
 render it

00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:24.180
 suffering.

00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:24.559
 In this

00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:24.920
 world you

00:22:24.920 --> 00:22:25.240
 will have

00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:25.860
 suffering.

00:22:28.940 --> 00:22:29.880
 The word

00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:30.460
 used there

00:22:30.460 --> 00:22:30.740
 in the

00:22:30.740 --> 00:22:31.120
 original

00:22:31.120 --> 00:22:31.900
 language it

00:22:31.900 --> 00:22:32.319
 doesn't

00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:33.059
 usually mean

00:22:33.059 --> 00:22:33.799
 trouble like

00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:34.240
 I had

00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:35.039
 trouble starting

00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:35.799
 my car this

00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:36.140
 morning.

00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:37.500
 It usually

00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:38.339
 refers to

00:22:38.339 --> 00:22:39.480
 more serious

00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:40.140
 trouble.

00:22:40.740 --> 00:22:41.460
 Some synonyms

00:22:41.460 --> 00:22:41.799
 would be

00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:42.539
 distress,

00:22:43.620 --> 00:22:44.120
 oppression,

00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:46.019
 affliction,

00:22:46.339 --> 00:22:47.019
 tribulation,

00:22:47.779 --> 00:22:48.200
 suffering.

00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:50.620
 And of

00:22:50.620 --> 00:22:51.019
 course these

00:22:51.019 --> 00:22:51.599
 words point

00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:52.099
 back to

00:22:52.099 --> 00:22:52.559
 what Jesus

00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:53.000
 has been

00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:54.680
 saying earlier

00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:55.120
 in this

00:22:55.120 --> 00:22:55.920
 chapter about

00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:56.759
 how they'll

00:22:56.759 --> 00:22:57.519
 be hated

00:22:57.519 --> 00:22:58.259
 by the

00:22:58.259 --> 00:22:59.960
 world and

00:22:59.960 --> 00:23:00.559
 persecuted.

00:23:00.740 --> 00:23:02.500
 excommunicated

00:23:02.500 --> 00:23:02.960
 from the

00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:03.620
 synagogue and

00:23:03.620 --> 00:23:04.279
 even killed.

00:23:05.180 --> 00:23:05.799
 That's the

00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:06.120
 kind of

00:23:06.120 --> 00:23:06.660
 trouble that

00:23:06.660 --> 00:23:06.880
 this

00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:07.480
 conversation

00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:07.940
 has been

00:23:07.940 --> 00:23:09.039
 focused on.

00:23:09.120 --> 00:23:09.319
 Jesus

00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:10.039
 says mark

00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:10.859
 my words

00:23:10.859 --> 00:23:12.640
 while you

00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:13.019
 live in

00:23:13.019 --> 00:23:13.579
 this world

00:23:13.579 --> 00:23:14.579
 you will

00:23:14.579 --> 00:23:16.200
 have this

00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:16.700
 kind of

00:23:16.700 --> 00:23:17.059
 trouble.

00:23:18.339 --> 00:23:19.079
 But then

00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:19.779
 the sweetest

00:23:19.779 --> 00:23:20.220
 words

00:23:20.220 --> 00:23:22.299
 take heart

00:23:22.299 --> 00:23:24.299
 I have

00:23:24.299 --> 00:23:25.120
 overcome

00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:26.719
 the world.

00:23:26.719 --> 00:23:30.899
 I have

00:23:30.899 --> 00:23:31.419
 overcome

00:23:31.419 --> 00:23:32.399
 the world

00:23:32.399 --> 00:23:33.879
 says Jesus.

00:23:34.679 --> 00:23:35.639
 The world's

00:23:35.639 --> 00:23:35.939
 going to

00:23:35.939 --> 00:23:36.519
 hate you

00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:37.519
 persecute you

00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:38.039
 treat you

00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:38.500
 badly

00:23:38.500 --> 00:23:39.519
 because of

00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:39.959
 me says

00:23:39.959 --> 00:23:40.319
 Jesus.

00:23:40.459 --> 00:23:40.659
 They will

00:23:40.659 --> 00:23:41.059
 put you

00:23:41.059 --> 00:23:41.299
 out of

00:23:41.299 --> 00:23:41.519
 the

00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:41.879
 synagogue

00:23:41.879 --> 00:23:42.379
 they will

00:23:42.379 --> 00:23:43.179
 rejoice

00:23:43.179 --> 00:23:44.939
 at my

00:23:44.939 --> 00:23:45.479
 death

00:23:45.479 --> 00:23:47.779
 while you

00:23:47.779 --> 00:23:48.219
 weep.

00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:50.319
 But take

00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:50.679
 heart

00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:52.500
 I have

00:23:52.500 --> 00:23:53.120
 overcome

00:23:53.120 --> 00:23:54.039
 the world.

00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:56.519
 Isn't this

00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:56.960
 something?

00:23:57.960 --> 00:23:58.759
 Before Jesus

00:23:58.759 --> 00:23:59.299
 is even

00:23:59.299 --> 00:24:00.100
 arrested he

00:24:00.100 --> 00:24:00.880
 declares his

00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:01.640
 own victory

00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:03.600
 over his

00:24:03.600 --> 00:24:04.100
 opponents.

00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:05.500
 They will

00:24:05.500 --> 00:24:06.080
 not defeat

00:24:06.080 --> 00:24:06.680
 me says

00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:07.060
 Jesus.

00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:08.380
 I have

00:24:08.380 --> 00:24:08.740
 overcome

00:24:08.740 --> 00:24:09.160
 them.

00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:11.100
 He states

00:24:11.100 --> 00:24:11.799
 it like

00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:12.440
 it's in the

00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:13.840
 past tense

00:24:13.840 --> 00:24:14.440
 like it's a

00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:14.900
 thing of the

00:24:14.900 --> 00:24:15.380
 past.

00:24:15.380 --> 00:24:16.440
 it's so

00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:17.260
 certain that

00:24:17.260 --> 00:24:17.880
 it's like a

00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:18.540
 done deal.

00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:19.940
 I have

00:24:19.940 --> 00:24:20.460
 overcome

00:24:20.460 --> 00:24:21.040
 the world.

00:24:21.620 --> 00:24:22.280
 In this

00:24:22.280 --> 00:24:22.800
 showdown

00:24:22.800 --> 00:24:23.160
 with the

00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:23.700
 world that

00:24:23.700 --> 00:24:24.640
 Jesus is

00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:25.160
 coming to

00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:26.240
 the climax

00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:28.200
 of he

00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:28.720
 wins.

00:24:29.820 --> 00:24:30.660
 He will

00:24:30.660 --> 00:24:31.060
 not be

00:24:31.060 --> 00:24:31.360
 beaten.

00:24:33.760 --> 00:24:34.360
 He's

00:24:34.360 --> 00:24:34.860
 staring at

00:24:34.860 --> 00:24:35.260
 the next

00:24:35.260 --> 00:24:35.900
 hours of

00:24:35.900 --> 00:24:36.500
 his life

00:24:36.500 --> 00:24:38.380
 looking them

00:24:38.380 --> 00:24:38.760
 right in

00:24:38.760 --> 00:24:39.240
 the face

00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:40.000
 knowing full

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:40.520
 well what

00:24:40.520 --> 00:24:40.980
 will happen

00:24:40.980 --> 00:24:41.360
 to him

00:24:41.360 --> 00:24:41.660
 that he

00:24:41.660 --> 00:24:41.980
 will be

00:24:41.980 --> 00:24:42.460
 arrested

00:24:42.460 --> 00:24:43.700
 falsely

00:24:43.700 --> 00:24:44.360
 accused

00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:45.579
 slandered

00:24:45.579 --> 00:24:46.799
 beaten

00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:48.079
 handed

00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:48.539
 over

00:24:48.539 --> 00:24:51.000
 and at

00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:51.279
 the end

00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:51.519
 of it

00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:51.899
 all put

00:24:51.899 --> 00:24:52.299
 to death.

00:24:52.399 --> 00:24:52.599
 He's

00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:53.139
 staring all

00:24:53.139 --> 00:24:53.500
 that in

00:24:53.500 --> 00:24:53.979
 the face

00:24:53.979 --> 00:24:54.319
 and he

00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:54.719
 says

00:24:54.719 --> 00:24:55.399
 take

00:24:55.399 --> 00:24:55.799
 heart

00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:57.459
 I have

00:24:57.459 --> 00:24:57.939
 overcome

00:24:57.939 --> 00:24:59.240
 the world.

00:25:00.859 --> 00:25:01.519
 I've

00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:01.879
 won this

00:25:01.879 --> 00:25:02.199
 battle.

00:25:04.019 --> 00:25:04.679
 There's

00:25:04.679 --> 00:25:05.359
 no doubt

00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:05.719
 in the

00:25:05.719 --> 00:25:06.139
 mind of

00:25:06.139 --> 00:25:06.439
 Jesus

00:25:06.439 --> 00:25:06.759
 that

00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:07.219
 whatever

00:25:07.219 --> 00:25:08.559
 is about

00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:09.359
 to unfold

00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:10.319
 three days

00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:10.699
 later

00:25:10.699 --> 00:25:11.979
 he will

00:25:11.979 --> 00:25:12.699
 rise up

00:25:12.700 --> 00:25:14.580
 from the

00:25:14.580 --> 00:25:14.900
 dead

00:25:14.900 --> 00:25:16.279
 from that

00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:16.640
 tomb

00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:17.740
 in glory

00:25:17.740 --> 00:25:19.920
 and triumph

00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:21.000
 over his

00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:21.440
 enemies.

00:25:24.660 --> 00:25:25.720
 Look now

00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:26.200
 at how

00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:27.380
 Jesus comes

00:25:27.380 --> 00:25:27.799
 to say

00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:28.160
 this.

00:25:28.900 --> 00:25:29.299
 The flow

00:25:29.299 --> 00:25:29.720
 of logic

00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:30.220
 here is

00:25:30.220 --> 00:25:30.900
 awesome.

00:25:32.660 --> 00:25:33.640
 I have

00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:34.039
 overcome

00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:34.620
 the world

00:25:34.620 --> 00:25:36.460
 so you

00:25:36.460 --> 00:25:37.380
 my

00:25:37.380 --> 00:25:38.000
 disciples

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:39.779
 take heart.

00:25:39.779 --> 00:25:41.480
 don't

00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:42.059
 despair.

00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:43.599
 Don't

00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:43.940
 let your

00:25:43.940 --> 00:25:44.220
 hearts

00:25:44.220 --> 00:25:44.460
 be

00:25:44.460 --> 00:25:44.859
 troubled

00:25:44.859 --> 00:25:45.940
 when this

00:25:45.940 --> 00:25:46.440
 great

00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:46.859
 trouble

00:25:46.859 --> 00:25:47.559
 and sorrow

00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:48.240
 and grief

00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:49.000
 come.

00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:51.139
 What does

00:25:51.139 --> 00:25:51.660
 Jesus want

00:25:51.660 --> 00:25:52.220
 his disciples

00:25:52.220 --> 00:25:52.779
 to do

00:25:52.779 --> 00:25:53.160
 in the

00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:53.500
 midst

00:25:53.500 --> 00:25:54.019
 of their

00:25:54.019 --> 00:25:54.420
 trouble?

00:25:55.259 --> 00:25:55.839
 He wants

00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:56.259
 them to

00:25:56.259 --> 00:25:56.759
 trust in

00:25:56.759 --> 00:25:57.259
 the fact

00:25:57.259 --> 00:25:58.059
 that he

00:25:58.059 --> 00:25:58.619
 has

00:25:58.619 --> 00:25:59.359
 that he

00:25:59.359 --> 00:25:59.899
 will

00:25:59.899 --> 00:26:00.859
 overcome

00:26:00.859 --> 00:26:01.859
 the world.

00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:02.839
 Even

00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:03.180
 though in

00:26:03.180 --> 00:26:04.000
 the next

00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:04.539
 hours

00:26:04.539 --> 00:26:05.259
 it's going

00:26:05.259 --> 00:26:05.559
 to look

00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:05.740
 like

00:26:05.740 --> 00:26:06.379
 everything's

00:26:06.379 --> 00:26:06.859
 going off

00:26:06.859 --> 00:26:07.359
 the rails

00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:07.839
 and like

00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:08.299
 the world

00:26:08.299 --> 00:26:08.839
 is winning

00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:10.619
 Jesus

00:26:10.619 --> 00:26:11.119
 says

00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:12.619
 trust me

00:26:12.619 --> 00:26:13.359
 believe

00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:14.779
 no

00:26:14.779 --> 00:26:15.799
 they

00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:16.059
 aren't

00:26:16.059 --> 00:26:16.379
 winning

00:26:16.379 --> 00:26:17.959
 I

00:26:17.959 --> 00:26:18.179
 have

00:26:18.179 --> 00:26:18.500
 won

00:26:18.500 --> 00:26:19.099
 already

00:26:19.099 --> 00:26:24.639
 so

00:26:24.639 --> 00:26:24.959
 what does

00:26:24.959 --> 00:26:25.439
 God have

00:26:25.439 --> 00:26:25.939
 for us

00:26:25.939 --> 00:26:26.720
 in these

00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:27.000
 words

00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:27.439
 today?

00:26:27.439 --> 00:26:28.139
 I hope

00:26:28.139 --> 00:26:28.439
 that your

00:26:28.439 --> 00:26:28.699
 heart

00:26:28.699 --> 00:26:29.079
 has been

00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:29.519
 able to

00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:29.839
 enter

00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:30.259
 into

00:26:30.259 --> 00:26:31.480
 the story

00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:32.419
 with the

00:26:32.419 --> 00:26:32.879
 disciples

00:26:32.879 --> 00:26:33.500
 and Jesus

00:26:33.500 --> 00:26:33.939
 in this

00:26:33.939 --> 00:26:34.559
 conversation

00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:35.059
 but let's

00:26:35.059 --> 00:26:35.519
 now draw

00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:36.019
 some lines

00:26:36.019 --> 00:26:36.740
 of application

00:26:36.740 --> 00:26:37.899
 to our

00:26:37.899 --> 00:26:38.339
 lives

00:26:38.339 --> 00:26:39.439
 this was

00:26:39.439 --> 00:26:40.000
 a unique

00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:41.279
 time

00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:42.299
 and situation

00:26:42.299 --> 00:26:42.939
 for the

00:26:42.939 --> 00:26:43.379
 disciples

00:26:43.379 --> 00:26:44.419
 and for

00:26:44.419 --> 00:26:44.779
 Jesus

00:26:44.779 --> 00:26:47.419
 mainly

00:26:47.419 --> 00:26:48.179
 these words

00:26:48.179 --> 00:26:48.559
 are there

00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:49.119
 to prepare

00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:49.559
 them so

00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:49.959
 that they

00:26:49.959 --> 00:26:50.679
 can endure

00:26:50.679 --> 00:26:51.679
 Jesus'

00:26:51.859 --> 00:26:52.179
 death

00:26:52.179 --> 00:26:53.819
 and make

00:26:53.819 --> 00:26:54.159
 it through

00:26:54.159 --> 00:26:54.599
 to that

00:26:54.599 --> 00:26:55.240
 moment

00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:56.019
 when he

00:26:56.019 --> 00:26:56.379
 rises

00:26:56.379 --> 00:26:56.859
 again

00:26:56.859 --> 00:26:59.839
 the trouble

00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:00.179
 that they

00:27:00.179 --> 00:27:00.759
 will face

00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:02.119
 has already

00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:02.919
 been specifically

00:27:02.919 --> 00:27:03.699
 defined by

00:27:03.699 --> 00:27:04.099
 Jesus

00:27:04.099 --> 00:27:04.720
 as that

00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:05.259
 hatred

00:27:05.259 --> 00:27:05.579
 that

00:27:05.579 --> 00:27:06.259
 persecution

00:27:06.259 --> 00:27:07.680
 at the

00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:08.059
 hands of

00:27:08.059 --> 00:27:08.440
 the world

00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:09.019
 because of

00:27:09.019 --> 00:27:09.140
 their

00:27:09.140 --> 00:27:09.779
 association

00:27:09.779 --> 00:27:10.079
 with

00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:10.480
 Jesus

00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:12.359
 and I

00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:12.700
 can't help

00:27:12.700 --> 00:27:13.079
 but think

00:27:13.079 --> 00:27:13.379
 there

00:27:13.379 --> 00:27:14.299
 isn't it

00:27:14.299 --> 00:27:14.819
 wonderful

00:27:14.819 --> 00:27:16.059
 how Jesus

00:27:16.059 --> 00:27:16.980
 offers them

00:27:16.980 --> 00:27:18.400
 such timely

00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:20.140
 and relevant

00:27:20.140 --> 00:27:21.299
 comfort

00:27:21.299 --> 00:27:24.000
 he prepares

00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:24.659
 them for

00:27:24.659 --> 00:27:25.339
 exactly

00:27:25.339 --> 00:27:26.000
 what they're

00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:26.460
 about to

00:27:26.460 --> 00:27:26.859
 go through

00:27:26.859 --> 00:27:27.139
 and he

00:27:27.139 --> 00:27:27.460
 gives them

00:27:27.460 --> 00:27:27.879
 exactly

00:27:27.879 --> 00:27:28.319
 what they

00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:28.680
 need

00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:29.859
 to face

00:27:29.859 --> 00:27:30.240
 this

00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:31.740
 to suffer

00:27:31.740 --> 00:27:32.259
 through it

00:27:32.259 --> 00:27:32.919
 this is the

00:27:32.919 --> 00:27:33.599
 kind of good

00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:34.019
 shepherd

00:27:34.019 --> 00:27:35.419
 that Jesus

00:27:35.419 --> 00:27:36.659
 is to his

00:27:36.659 --> 00:27:36.940
 sheep

00:27:36.940 --> 00:27:38.519
 he is so

00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:39.500
 deeply in

00:27:39.500 --> 00:27:39.960
 tune with

00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:40.299
 us

00:27:40.299 --> 00:27:42.440
 he knows

00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:42.960
 what's going

00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:43.519
 to happen

00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:44.039
 in our

00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:44.500
 lives

00:27:44.500 --> 00:27:45.659
 he knows

00:27:45.659 --> 00:27:46.259
 just what

00:27:46.259 --> 00:27:46.779
 we need

00:27:46.779 --> 00:27:48.000
 and when

00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:48.420
 we need

00:27:48.420 --> 00:27:48.660
 it

00:27:48.660 --> 00:27:49.859
 and he

00:27:49.859 --> 00:27:50.319
 provides

00:27:50.319 --> 00:27:50.559
 it

00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:53.099
 and while

00:27:53.099 --> 00:27:53.779
 Jesus speaks

00:27:53.779 --> 00:27:54.279
 first and

00:27:54.279 --> 00:27:55.059
 foremost of

00:27:55.059 --> 00:27:55.700
 the days

00:27:55.700 --> 00:27:56.200
 that are just

00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:56.680
 ahead for

00:27:56.680 --> 00:27:57.399
 the disciples

00:27:57.399 --> 00:27:58.839
 there does

00:27:58.839 --> 00:27:59.480
 seem to be

00:27:59.480 --> 00:27:59.960
 a sort of

00:27:59.960 --> 00:28:00.379
 principle

00:28:00.379 --> 00:28:00.740
 here

00:28:00.740 --> 00:28:03.039
 let me

00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:03.319
 say it

00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:03.759
 this way

00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:05.839
 in this

00:28:05.839 --> 00:28:06.160
 world

00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:06.539
 you will

00:28:06.539 --> 00:28:06.779
 have

00:28:06.779 --> 00:28:07.220
 trouble

00:28:07.220 --> 00:28:09.160
 but take

00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:09.519
 heart

00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:10.879
 I have

00:28:10.879 --> 00:28:11.379
 overcome

00:28:11.379 --> 00:28:11.980
 the world

00:28:11.980 --> 00:28:14.799
 is Jesus

00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:15.579
 only saying

00:28:15.579 --> 00:28:16.180
 this to help

00:28:16.180 --> 00:28:16.759
 the disciples

00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:17.319
 make it

00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:17.720
 through to

00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:18.019
 Sunday

00:28:18.019 --> 00:28:18.460
 morning

00:28:18.460 --> 00:28:19.640
 when he

00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:20.099
 rises

00:28:20.099 --> 00:28:22.039
 or

00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:22.980
 are these

00:28:22.980 --> 00:28:23.440
 words of

00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:23.779
 Jesus

00:28:23.779 --> 00:28:24.680
 meant to

00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:25.019
 carry

00:28:25.019 --> 00:28:25.940
 the disciples

00:28:25.940 --> 00:28:26.960
 through all

00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:27.460
 the trouble

00:28:27.460 --> 00:28:27.819
 they will

00:28:27.819 --> 00:28:28.379
 face in

00:28:28.379 --> 00:28:28.779
 the days

00:28:28.779 --> 00:28:29.160
 ahead

00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:29.759
 and for

00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:30.180
 the rest

00:28:30.180 --> 00:28:30.480
 of their

00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:30.920
 lives

00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:35.980
 there is

00:28:35.980 --> 00:28:36.299
 a sort

00:28:36.299 --> 00:28:37.119
 of timelessness

00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:37.539
 to these

00:28:37.539 --> 00:28:37.980
 words

00:28:37.980 --> 00:28:39.839
 in this

00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:40.180
 world

00:28:40.180 --> 00:28:40.640
 you will

00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:41.019
 have

00:28:41.019 --> 00:28:41.740
 trouble

00:28:41.740 --> 00:28:43.579
 but take

00:28:43.579 --> 00:28:43.920
 heart

00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:45.640
 I have

00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:46.180
 overcome

00:28:46.180 --> 00:28:46.740
 the world

00:28:46.740 --> 00:28:48.400
 I think

00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:48.740
 Jesus

00:28:48.740 --> 00:28:49.299
 is setting

00:28:49.299 --> 00:28:49.519
 their

00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:50.640
 expectations

00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:51.720
 this is

00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:52.080
 how it

00:28:52.080 --> 00:28:52.560
 will go

00:28:52.560 --> 00:28:54.100
 not just

00:28:54.100 --> 00:28:54.580
 in the next

00:28:54.580 --> 00:28:55.259
 couple days

00:28:55.259 --> 00:28:56.320
 but for the

00:28:56.320 --> 00:28:56.680
 rest of

00:28:56.680 --> 00:28:57.259
 your lives

00:28:57.259 --> 00:28:58.519
 there will

00:28:58.519 --> 00:28:59.080
 be trouble

00:28:59.080 --> 00:28:59.920
 difficulty

00:28:59.920 --> 00:29:02.100
 even

00:29:02.100 --> 00:29:02.600
 suffering

00:29:02.599 --> 00:29:05.099
 and he's

00:29:05.099 --> 00:29:05.539
 giving them

00:29:05.539 --> 00:29:06.459
 something solid

00:29:06.459 --> 00:29:07.199
 and sure

00:29:07.199 --> 00:29:08.359
 to anchor

00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:09.059
 themselves

00:29:09.059 --> 00:29:10.139
 by in the

00:29:10.139 --> 00:29:10.559
 midst of

00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:11.099
 all that

00:29:11.099 --> 00:29:14.819
 the fact

00:29:14.819 --> 00:29:15.379
 the truth

00:29:15.379 --> 00:29:15.740
 that he

00:29:15.740 --> 00:29:16.740
 has overcome

00:29:16.740 --> 00:29:17.719
 the world

00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:18.620
 so

00:29:18.620 --> 00:29:18.640
 so

00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:19.120
 so

00:29:19.120 --> 00:29:19.860
 what would

00:29:19.860 --> 00:29:20.279
 he have

00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:20.839
 us do

00:29:20.839 --> 00:29:21.240
 Jesus

00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:21.660
 what would

00:29:21.660 --> 00:29:22.000
 he have

00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:22.500
 us do

00:29:22.500 --> 00:29:22.960
 today

00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:24.539
 in the

00:29:24.539 --> 00:29:24.740
 midst

00:29:24.740 --> 00:29:25.400
 of our

00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:26.120
 unique

00:29:26.120 --> 00:29:27.100
 trials

00:29:27.100 --> 00:29:29.740
 the challenges

00:29:29.740 --> 00:29:30.180
 that we

00:29:30.180 --> 00:29:30.600
 face

00:29:30.600 --> 00:29:32.480
 the difficulties

00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:33.000
 what would

00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:33.579
 Jesus say

00:29:33.579 --> 00:29:34.200
 to us

00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:34.680
 if he were

00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:35.460
 here today

00:29:35.460 --> 00:29:35.860
 and this

00:29:35.860 --> 00:29:36.480
 was us

00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:37.779
 he was

00:29:37.779 --> 00:29:38.100
 with

00:29:38.100 --> 00:29:40.380
 I can't

00:29:40.380 --> 00:29:40.640
 help but

00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:40.860
 think

00:29:40.860 --> 00:29:41.220
 wouldn't he

00:29:41.220 --> 00:29:41.579
 point us

00:29:41.579 --> 00:29:41.880
 to the

00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:42.100
 same

00:29:42.100 --> 00:29:42.579
 things

00:29:42.579 --> 00:29:44.139
 these

00:29:44.139 --> 00:29:44.639
 same

00:29:44.639 --> 00:29:45.899
 wonderful

00:29:45.899 --> 00:29:46.519
 abiding

00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:47.240
 realities

00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:48.599
 calling us

00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:49.119
 like he did

00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:49.379
 to the

00:29:49.379 --> 00:29:49.859
 disciples

00:29:49.859 --> 00:29:50.699
 to trust

00:29:50.699 --> 00:29:51.399
 in him

00:29:51.399 --> 00:29:54.299
 would he

00:29:54.299 --> 00:29:54.919
 not encourage

00:29:54.919 --> 00:29:55.439
 us

00:29:55.439 --> 00:29:56.659
 to hold

00:29:56.659 --> 00:29:57.139
 fast

00:29:57.139 --> 00:29:57.519
 to the

00:29:57.519 --> 00:29:57.819
 truth

00:29:57.819 --> 00:29:58.480
 of everything

00:29:58.480 --> 00:29:58.879
 that he

00:29:58.879 --> 00:29:59.339
 has told

00:29:59.339 --> 00:29:59.679
 us in

00:29:59.679 --> 00:30:00.179
 advance

00:30:00.179 --> 00:30:01.799
 about how

00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:02.259
 things will

00:30:02.259 --> 00:30:02.559
 go

00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:05.179
 think about

00:30:05.179 --> 00:30:05.539
 it

00:30:05.539 --> 00:30:06.639
 just as

00:30:06.639 --> 00:30:07.279
 Jesus is

00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:07.879
 telling his

00:30:07.879 --> 00:30:08.359
 disciples

00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:09.039
 right now

00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:09.379
 what's

00:30:09.379 --> 00:30:09.799
 about to

00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:10.119
 come

00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:11.240
 in a

00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:11.500
 similar

00:30:11.500 --> 00:30:11.819
 way

00:30:11.819 --> 00:30:12.199
 Jesus

00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:12.799
 has told

00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:13.299
 all his

00:30:13.299 --> 00:30:13.700
 people

00:30:13.700 --> 00:30:15.000
 about how

00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:15.559
 things will

00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:15.900
 go

00:30:15.900 --> 00:30:17.180
 at the

00:30:17.180 --> 00:30:17.420
 very

00:30:17.420 --> 00:30:17.799
 end

00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:20.460
 just as

00:30:20.460 --> 00:30:20.600
 the

00:30:20.600 --> 00:30:20.980
 disciples

00:30:20.980 --> 00:30:21.340
 would have

00:30:21.340 --> 00:30:21.860
 to trust

00:30:21.860 --> 00:30:22.400
 during those

00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:22.799
 days when

00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:23.059
 they would

00:30:23.059 --> 00:30:23.600
 not see

00:30:23.600 --> 00:30:24.180
 Jesus

00:30:24.180 --> 00:30:26.000
 looking forward

00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:26.279
 to the

00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:27.000
 day when

00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:27.299
 he would

00:30:27.299 --> 00:30:27.759
 rise

00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:29.200
 when they

00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:29.500
 would see

00:30:29.500 --> 00:30:30.000
 him again

00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:31.319
 aren't we

00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:31.559
 in a

00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:31.799
 similar

00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:32.220
 sort of

00:30:32.220 --> 00:30:32.720
 situation

00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:33.200
 today

00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:35.440
 we don't

00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:36.160
 see Jesus

00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:37.200
 because he

00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:37.740
 has gone

00:30:37.740 --> 00:30:38.160
 back to

00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:38.640
 the father

00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:40.559
 but he

00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:41.160
 has promised

00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:42.320
 that he

00:30:42.320 --> 00:30:42.900
 will return

00:30:42.900 --> 00:30:44.019
 and we

00:30:44.019 --> 00:30:44.519
 will see

00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:44.840
 him

00:30:44.840 --> 00:30:45.700
 again

00:30:45.700 --> 00:30:47.960
 just as

00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:48.240
 Jesus

00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:48.800
 encouraged

00:30:48.800 --> 00:30:49.040
 his

00:30:49.040 --> 00:30:49.480
 disciples

00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:49.840
 to

00:30:49.840 --> 00:30:50.640
 trust

00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:51.980
 in his

00:30:51.980 --> 00:30:52.580
 triumph

00:30:52.580 --> 00:30:53.340
 over the

00:30:53.340 --> 00:30:53.700
 world

00:30:53.700 --> 00:30:55.200
 even before

00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:55.800
 it happened

00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:57.619
 is the

00:30:57.619 --> 00:30:57.980
 Lord not

00:30:57.980 --> 00:30:58.619
 calling us

00:30:58.619 --> 00:30:59.700
 to trust

00:30:59.700 --> 00:31:00.220
 the same

00:31:00.220 --> 00:31:01.240
 as we

00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:01.599
 live in

00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:02.000
 our world

00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:02.399
 today

00:31:02.399 --> 00:31:04.899
 I believe

00:31:04.899 --> 00:31:05.440
 these words

00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:05.799
 were for

00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:06.319
 them that

00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:06.819
 day but

00:31:06.819 --> 00:31:07.379
 also for

00:31:07.379 --> 00:31:07.980
 us today

00:31:07.980 --> 00:31:09.919
 to show

00:31:09.919 --> 00:31:11.039
 us how

00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:12.259
 to persevere

00:31:12.259 --> 00:31:13.399
 in a

00:31:13.399 --> 00:31:13.839
 world

00:31:13.839 --> 00:31:15.720
 full of

00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:16.279
 trouble that

00:31:16.279 --> 00:31:17.200
 causes us

00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:17.740
 trouble

00:31:17.740 --> 00:31:21.159
 and this is

00:31:21.159 --> 00:31:21.680
 how we do

00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:21.960
 it

00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:24.319
 we trust

00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:25.579
 we hold

00:31:25.579 --> 00:31:26.220
 firmly to

00:31:26.220 --> 00:31:26.819
 the promise

00:31:26.819 --> 00:31:27.920
 that Jesus

00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:28.400
 made

00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:29.759
 he is

00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:30.620
 coming

00:31:30.620 --> 00:31:31.319
 back

00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:32.380
 I am

00:31:32.380 --> 00:31:33.200
 coming soon

00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:34.259
 said Jesus

00:31:34.259 --> 00:31:36.840
 we will

00:31:36.840 --> 00:31:37.340
 see him

00:31:37.340 --> 00:31:38.240
 even though

00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:39.059
 now we

00:31:39.059 --> 00:31:39.519
 do not

00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:41.799
 we are to

00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:42.259
 trust that

00:31:42.259 --> 00:31:42.700
 there is

00:31:42.700 --> 00:31:43.180
 coming a

00:31:43.180 --> 00:31:43.559
 day when

00:31:43.559 --> 00:31:44.220
 all our

00:31:44.220 --> 00:31:44.660
 grief

00:31:44.660 --> 00:31:45.700
 all our

00:31:45.700 --> 00:31:46.180
 sorrow

00:31:46.180 --> 00:31:46.680
 all our

00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:47.039
 pain

00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:47.440
 all our

00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:48.039
 anguish

00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:49.400
 will break

00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:50.440
 and melt

00:31:50.440 --> 00:31:50.920
 away

00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:52.240
 and be

00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:52.779
 replaced

00:31:52.779 --> 00:31:53.200
 with

00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:54.120
 joy

00:31:54.120 --> 00:31:55.600
 deep

00:31:55.600 --> 00:31:56.980
 lasting

00:31:56.980 --> 00:31:57.860
 permanent

00:31:57.860 --> 00:31:58.900
 joy

00:31:58.900 --> 00:32:00.420
 when we

00:32:00.420 --> 00:32:01.279
 see Jesus

00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:02.019
 the risen

00:32:02.019 --> 00:32:02.519
 king

00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:04.100
 at his

00:32:04.100 --> 00:32:04.440
 coming

00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:06.980
 I don't

00:32:06.980 --> 00:32:07.400
 know whatever

00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:07.960
 you are going

00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:08.660
 through in

00:32:08.660 --> 00:32:09.060
 your life

00:32:09.060 --> 00:32:09.460
 today

00:32:09.460 --> 00:32:11.420
 even if

00:32:11.420 --> 00:32:11.600
 it is

00:32:11.600 --> 00:32:12.279
 really hard

00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:13.480
 trusting

00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:14.080
 this

00:32:14.080 --> 00:32:15.500
 will carry

00:32:15.500 --> 00:32:16.060
 you through

00:32:16.060 --> 00:32:19.320
 finally

00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:20.639
 Jesus

00:32:20.639 --> 00:32:21.019
 pointed

00:32:21.019 --> 00:32:21.339
 them

00:32:21.339 --> 00:32:21.679
 to the

00:32:21.679 --> 00:32:21.839
 day

00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:22.179
 when he

00:32:22.179 --> 00:32:22.379
 would

00:32:22.379 --> 00:32:22.799
 rise

00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:24.139
 as the

00:32:24.139 --> 00:32:24.460
 proof

00:32:24.460 --> 00:32:24.859
 that he

00:32:24.859 --> 00:32:25.159
 has

00:32:25.159 --> 00:32:25.720
 overcome

00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:25.960
 the

00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:26.299
 world

00:32:26.299 --> 00:32:28.259
 we live

00:32:28.259 --> 00:32:28.700
 on this

00:32:28.700 --> 00:32:29.159
 side of

00:32:29.159 --> 00:32:29.500
 that

00:32:29.500 --> 00:32:30.359
 and so

00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:33.019
 we look

00:32:33.019 --> 00:32:33.399
 back

00:32:33.399 --> 00:32:34.019
 at the

00:32:34.019 --> 00:32:34.519
 resurrection

00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:35.200
 of Jesus

00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:36.339
 and we

00:32:36.339 --> 00:32:36.919
 take heart

00:32:36.919 --> 00:32:40.139
 it is there

00:32:40.139 --> 00:32:40.659
 in that

00:32:40.659 --> 00:32:41.079
 moment

00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:42.579
 that we

00:32:42.579 --> 00:32:43.119
 see most

00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:43.460
 clearly

00:32:43.460 --> 00:32:44.159
 that yes

00:32:44.159 --> 00:32:44.819
 Jesus

00:32:44.819 --> 00:32:45.500
 has

00:32:45.500 --> 00:32:46.220
 overcome

00:32:46.220 --> 00:32:47.039
 the

00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:47.399
 world

00:32:47.399 --> 00:32:48.579
 and all

00:32:48.579 --> 00:32:48.799
 the

00:32:48.799 --> 00:32:49.159
 trouble

00:32:49.159 --> 00:32:49.659
 that it

00:32:49.659 --> 00:32:50.000
 caused

00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:50.339
 him

00:32:50.339 --> 00:32:52.960
 and since

00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:53.519
 it was so

00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:54.240
 certain and

00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:54.779
 solid the

00:32:54.779 --> 00:32:55.279
 day that he

00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:55.859
 rose can

00:32:55.859 --> 00:32:56.179
 we not

00:32:56.179 --> 00:32:56.700
 trust that

00:32:56.700 --> 00:32:57.000
 he will

00:32:57.000 --> 00:32:57.559
 overcome

00:32:57.559 --> 00:32:58.919
 what remains

00:32:58.919 --> 00:33:01.159
 of the

00:33:01.159 --> 00:33:01.539
 world

00:33:01.539 --> 00:33:02.960
 and the

00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:03.319
 troubles

00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:03.859
 that it

00:33:03.859 --> 00:33:04.519
 will cause

00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:06.099
 to us

00:33:06.099 --> 00:33:07.679
 in our

00:33:07.679 --> 00:33:08.039
 day to

00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:08.299
 day

00:33:08.299 --> 00:33:10.000
 he will

00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:10.319
 do it

00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:10.599
 when he

00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:11.299
 comes again

00:33:11.299 --> 00:33:12.480
 in glory

00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:13.599
 and in

00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:13.939
 power

00:33:13.940 --> 00:33:20.220
 the

00:33:20.220 --> 00:33:20.640
 apostles

00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:21.700
 later went

00:33:21.700 --> 00:33:22.220
 on to

00:33:22.220 --> 00:33:23.580
 speak

00:33:23.580 --> 00:33:24.759
 to write

00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:25.299
 letters

00:33:25.299 --> 00:33:26.740
 John

00:33:26.740 --> 00:33:27.180
 himself

00:33:27.180 --> 00:33:27.500
 the one

00:33:27.500 --> 00:33:28.000
 who captured

00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:28.519
 this story

00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:28.960
 went on

00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:29.420
 to write

00:33:29.420 --> 00:33:30.980
 a letter

00:33:30.980 --> 00:33:32.019
 and this

00:33:32.019 --> 00:33:32.279
 is what

00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:32.620
 he had

00:33:32.620 --> 00:33:33.080
 to say

00:33:33.080 --> 00:33:34.380
 in his

00:33:34.380 --> 00:33:35.059
 letter

00:33:35.059 --> 00:33:35.900
 1st John

00:33:35.900 --> 00:33:36.559
 chapter 4

00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:37.140
 verse 4

00:33:37.140 --> 00:33:38.860
 a wonderful

00:33:38.860 --> 00:33:39.340
 word of

00:33:39.340 --> 00:33:39.860
 encouragement

00:33:39.860 --> 00:33:40.420
 he said

00:33:40.420 --> 00:33:41.120
 you dear

00:33:41.120 --> 00:33:41.600
 children

00:33:41.600 --> 00:33:42.259
 are from

00:33:42.259 --> 00:33:42.700
 God

00:33:42.700 --> 00:33:43.380
 and have

00:33:43.380 --> 00:33:43.759
 overcome

00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:44.299
 them

00:33:44.299 --> 00:33:44.940
 because

00:33:44.940 --> 00:33:45.500
 the one

00:33:45.500 --> 00:33:45.920
 who is

00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:46.599
 in you

00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:47.619
 is greater

00:33:47.619 --> 00:33:48.099
 than the

00:33:48.099 --> 00:33:48.420
 one

00:33:48.420 --> 00:33:49.879
 who is

00:33:49.879 --> 00:33:50.160
 in the

00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:50.460
 world

00:33:50.460 --> 00:33:52.720
 just a few

00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:53.400
 verses after

00:33:53.400 --> 00:33:53.700
 that

00:33:53.700 --> 00:33:54.200
 in 5

00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:54.799
 verse 4

00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:56.319
 he wrote

00:33:56.319 --> 00:33:57.000
 for everyone

00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:57.640
 born of

00:33:57.640 --> 00:33:57.940
 God

00:33:57.940 --> 00:33:58.700
 overcomes

00:33:58.700 --> 00:33:59.279
 the world

00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:01.099
 this is

00:34:01.099 --> 00:34:01.559
 the victory

00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:01.920
 that has

00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:02.259
 overcome

00:34:02.259 --> 00:34:02.839
 the world

00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:04.140
 even

00:34:04.140 --> 00:34:04.960
 our faith

00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:06.980
 who is

00:34:06.980 --> 00:34:07.100
 who is it

00:34:07.100 --> 00:34:07.279
 that

00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:07.779
 overcomes

00:34:07.779 --> 00:34:08.280
 the world

00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:09.980
 only the

00:34:09.980 --> 00:34:10.240
 one

00:34:10.240 --> 00:34:10.980
 who believes

00:34:10.980 --> 00:34:12.240
 that Jesus

00:34:12.240 --> 00:34:12.699
 is the

00:34:12.699 --> 00:34:13.000
 son

00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:14.240
 of God

00:34:14.240 --> 00:34:16.460
 this is a

00:34:16.460 --> 00:34:16.800
 tremendous

00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:17.380
 encouragement

00:34:17.380 --> 00:34:17.860
 to those

00:34:17.860 --> 00:34:18.260
 of us

00:34:18.260 --> 00:34:19.099
 who believe

00:34:19.099 --> 00:34:19.440
 that

00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:21.780
 with my

00:34:21.780 --> 00:34:22.519
 last words

00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:23.000
 this morning

00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:23.400
 I just

00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:23.820
 want to

00:34:23.820 --> 00:34:25.420
 I want to

 speak to

00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:26.440
 any of you

00:34:26.440 --> 00:34:27.179
 who may not

00:34:27.179 --> 00:34:27.980
 be settled

00:34:27.980 --> 00:34:28.639
 about that

00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:29.340
 in your own

00:34:29.340 --> 00:34:29.720
 heart

00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:30.599
 whether or

00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:30.819
 not

00:34:30.819 --> 00:34:31.459

00:34:31.459 --> 00:34:32.799
 believe

00:34:32.799 --> 00:34:33.859
 in Jesus

00:34:33.859 --> 00:34:34.319
 do you

 words from

00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:35.959
 Christ

00:34:35.959 --> 00:34:37.539
 who else

00:34:37.539 --> 00:34:38.199
 claims these

00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:38.659
 things

00:34:38.659 --> 00:34:40.399
 he says

00:34:40.399 --> 00:34:41.019
 I have

00:34:41.019 --> 00:34:41.579
 overcome

00:34:41.579 --> 00:34:42.579
 the world

00:34:42.579 --> 00:34:45.099
 and then

00:34:45.099 --> 00:34:45.779
 he dies

00:34:45.779 --> 00:34:47.039
 rises

00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:47.599

00:34:53.339 --> 00:34:53.839
 believe

00:34:53.839 --> 00:34:55.359
 that

00:34:55.359 --> 00:34:55.659
 Jesus

00:34:55.659 --> 00:34:56.159
 is the

00:34:56.159 --> 00:34:56.480
 son of

00:34:56.480 --> 00:34:56.799
 God

00:34:56.799 --> 00:34:59.299
 do you

00:34:59.300 --> 00:34:59.519
 know

00:34:59.519 --> 00:34:59.740
 that

00:34:59.740 --> 00:34:59.900
 you

00:34:59.900 --> 00:35:00.080
 can

00:35:00.080 --> 00:35:00.380
 have

00:35:00.380 --> 00:35:00.519
 a

00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:00.920
 personal

00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:01.600
 relationship

00:35:01.600 --> 00:35:02.180
 with this

00:35:02.180 --> 00:35:02.780
 conquering

00:35:02.780 --> 00:35:03.200
 king

00:35:03.200 --> 00:35:05.600
 and that

00:35:05.600 --> 00:35:06.019
 you can

00:35:06.019 --> 00:35:06.460
 be brought

00:35:06.460 --> 00:35:07.080
 into this

00:35:07.080 --> 00:35:07.660
 victory

00:35:07.660 --> 00:35:08.600
 and triumph

00:35:08.600 --> 00:35:09.180

00:35:09.720 --> 00:35:10.420
 and be

00:35:10.420 --> 00:35:11.820
 one

00:35:11.820 --> 00:35:12.060
 who

00:35:12.060 --> 00:35:12.900
 overcomes

00:35:12.900 --> 00:35:15.120
 the world
