00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.839
 So I recently read an article, I was reading a book, or glancing through a book by Timothy Keller

00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:16.719
! on prayer, and it refers to this statistic about spiritual tourism. And what this article

00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:21.760
! talks about is it's from the UN of tourism, the UN tourism which is a branch of the UN.

00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:31.600
 They did a research on how many people travel for spiritual experiences, and the statistic

00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:39.200
 came back saying around 170 million, over 170 million people travel, travel the world

00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:44.079
 for how these experiences, and most of these people are from Western countries. And they

00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:51.040
 travel most of the time to Asia Pacific region. Now if you're anything like me, I'm not the

00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:56.200
 greatest at geography, I have to look up where this is, where this area is. And this area

00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:03.359
 is in the area of India, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, Nepal, and the countries that surround

00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:13.259
 that area on the map. And the thing is, over 60% of these people who travel for these experiences,

00:01:13.259 --> 00:01:17.400
 they do it because they want to go meditating, they want to meditate at an ashram, they want

00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:23.560
 to practice yoga, they want to go to these places to have an experience. This is a lot of people.

00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:30.200
 This is more than the population of Canada. This is a lot of people who travel every year.

00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:36.920
 And it's interesting, because you would think when you look around, you would think that our culture is

00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:44.840
 becoming more and more secular. But it's actually becoming more and more deeply religious. They

00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:53.079
 just wouldn't call it religious. They would call it something else. Similarly, within Christianity,

00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.079
 we are rightfully told that we need to pray. You read it in the Bible, we need to pray.

00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:04.920
 But interestingly, the books that are written about prayer, the new and best way that you can pray,

00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:11.560
 are the most purchased books within Christianity. Every year, there's new books on how we should

00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:16.280
 pray, how we should have the right posture of prayer. And these books are constantly purchased.

00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:22.439
 And the same goes with Christian retreats. These retreats promise that if you go here,

00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:26.520
 you'll have an experience with God, you'll have a deeper experience with God, or you may learn

00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:32.840
 something that would help you in your Christian walk. Most of the time, these retreats circle around prayer.

00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:42.599
 But interestingly, a common thing that you hear within Christianity is that many people are either not

00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:49.240
 praying, they either don't know how to pray, or they're unsatisfied with their prayer life.

00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:59.080
 See, there's clearly a deep logging worldwide to connect with some kind of higher power or God.

00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:06.120
 Jesus, in the Sermon on the Mount, which is best recorded in the Gospel of Matthew, which we're going to look at,

00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:14.760
 addresses this topic of prayer. He addresses the topic of prayer. And he does this within a section that's focused

00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:24.920
 on the motive behind giving, praying, fasting. Fasting is when you abstain from something to focus more on God.

00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:33.719
 Or a section relying on false securities. So like health, power, money, and those kind of things.

00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:40.199
 But we don't have the time to focus on everything in this chapter. We're just going to hone in on the section on prayer.

00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:46.199
 And we're going to look at it. But the principles laid out here in this brief section,

00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:55.319
 what can apply to all the topics that I just mentioned about giving, about fasting, about relying on false securities.

00:03:55.799 --> 00:04:02.599
 So if you can turn with me in your Bibles to Matthew chapter 6, verses 5 to 15, that would be very helpful.

00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:07.799
 If you have it on your phone, look it up, because it's very helpful to have it in front of you,

00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:13.000
 because you can see what's going on. And you can also glance at the rest of the chapter,

00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:19.319
 because you can see how it applies to all the areas. Now this section, the prayer section, can easily be

00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:27.240
 summarized in one sentence. A heart of praise leads to gospel change. But the thing is, this can be

00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:33.399
 incredibly difficult to follow through on. So we're going to look at this section in three ways.

00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:40.759
 Motive of prayer, act of prayer, and outcome of prayer. And again, that's motive of prayer,

00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:47.959
 prayer, act of prayer, outcome of prayer. It's a motive of prayer. Look with me at verses 5 to 8.

00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:59.319
 And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues

00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:06.679
 and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly I say to you, they have received

00:05:06.679 --> 00:05:14.839
 their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in

00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:25.519
 secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. See, in this section, in this section,

00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:31.699
 there's two people that we see here, the hypocrite and the Gentile. So we're going to focus on the first

00:05:31.699 --> 00:05:36.479
 one first, the hypocrite. What's a hypocrite? Well, according to the dictionary, it's a person whose

00:05:36.479 --> 00:05:44.179
 actions, feelings, or actual behavior contradict the moral standards. Virtues or belief may publicly

00:05:44.180 --> 00:05:50.120
 state or expect others to follow. The origin of the word, as it's said in the dictionary, comes from

00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:56.800
 the Greek word, hypocrites, which is, you take the C out and you put a K instead, which means stage actor

00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:04.560
 or a mask wearer, which I think is a better definition. For Jewish people to stand and pray in a synagogue

00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:10.519
 or at a street corner would have been a normal thing. A synagogue is the Jewish place of worship.

00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:16.359
 A street corner, what Jesus is talking about here, he's referring to just public places.

00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:22.519
 For us, it could be saying grace at a restaurant. It may seem weird, but they did most of their

00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:28.000
 praying out loud. It was a very common thing. That anything, when they pray, it would be out loud.

00:06:28.259 --> 00:06:32.279
 It wouldn't be this thing where you go off to a room to pray. It would just be out loud most of the time.

00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:37.079
 Everything in daily life, they would thank God for. So what's the problem?

00:06:38.659 --> 00:06:44.899
 Isn't that a good thing? The pray at the place of worship or in your daily life.

00:06:45.479 --> 00:06:48.119
 But you have to notice again what Jesus says in verse 5.

00:06:49.119 --> 00:06:55.500
 And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the

00:06:55.500 --> 00:07:02.360
 synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. See, motive is everything.

00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:09.980
 And this is what Jesus is going in at, is the motive behind praying. In a murder case, I watch a lot of

00:07:09.980 --> 00:07:19.439
 murder mysteries on TV. What they mostly focus on is the motive of the murder. Why did the person

00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:25.339
 murder this person? If you find the motive, it's easier to prove someone is guilty. And then it'll

00:07:25.339 --> 00:07:33.040
 also show if the crime was deliberate or an act of passion. It's easy to look at religious leaders

00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:40.459
 and point the finger at them. The Pharisees of Jesus' time practiced an outward religion. A Pharisee is a

00:07:40.459 --> 00:07:47.199
 religious teacher. But their hearts were far from God. They would heap up the law of Moses,

00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:53.519
 or daily rituals on people, but they would not follow them themselves. In our day, we could look

00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:58.519
 around and we could look online and point fingers at pastors. Those who have preached one way to do

00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:03.759
 something, but they live a completely different life. And when they're caught, the fall is huge.

00:08:04.699 --> 00:08:11.139
 But Jesus, we have to remember, is preaching the Sermon on the Mount to his disciples. He's not

00:08:11.139 --> 00:08:16.699
 preaching this to religious leaders. He's preaching it to everyday people. So what is he doing?

00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:24.459
 He wants to show that when you pray in public, he wants to know. He's trying to get this out of us

00:08:24.459 --> 00:08:29.519
 to think about this. Are you praying to be heard for the eloquent words you're saying or how long

00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:35.939
 your prayer is? Are you praying to be seen that you are a committed follower of him? Or are you

00:08:35.939 --> 00:08:41.460
 praying to God because you want a relationship with him? This is what Jesus is trying to get at. He's

00:08:41.460 --> 00:08:46.960
 trying to get at the motive behind the prayer itself. This is what the hypocrite does. They want to

00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:53.800
 be seen. They want to be seen by how religious they are. In one sense, it's easy to pray in public

00:08:53.800 --> 00:09:00.519
 in times where we're supposed to, when we're around others. When we say grace, it's easy to pray.

00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:06.139
 When we're in a Bible study, it's easy to pray. But what Jesus is talking about here,

00:09:06.660 --> 00:09:13.519
 and verse 6 shows this, when he says, when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray

00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:18.620
 to your father who is in secret. And your father who sees in secret will reward you.

00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:29.539
 The question is, what is your heart doing? Is it praying? Are you praying to be seen? Or are you

00:09:29.539 --> 00:09:35.559
 praying to have a relationship with the Lord? When he says sees in secret or is in secret,

00:09:35.980 --> 00:09:40.679
 the thing is, he's not saying you cannot pray in public. Jesus prayed in public all the time.

00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:48.579
 But it's what the motive is behind the prayer. When you pray, are you praying for a reward?

00:09:49.359 --> 00:09:54.359
 What's the reward? Is it a deeper, lasting relationship with the father? Or is it temporary

00:09:54.359 --> 00:10:01.299
 praise by others? Look at the character in this section, the Gentile, the other character.

00:10:01.719 --> 00:10:03.259
 We're going to look at verses 7 and 8.

00:10:03.259 --> 00:10:12.340
 And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they'll

00:10:12.340 --> 00:10:18.860
 be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your father knows what you need before

00:10:18.860 --> 00:10:25.600
 you ask him. To a Jewish person, a Gentile will be someone who is not ethnically Jewish,

00:10:26.439 --> 00:10:32.620
 one who is of a different race. Jesus is saying here, though, a Gentile is someone who is not a

00:10:32.620 --> 00:10:41.200
 disciple of his, one who hasn't committed their life to him. When a city sports team does well

00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:48.460
 and makes it to the final matches, people who have never been supporters of the team or never

00:10:48.460 --> 00:10:55.220
 really been watching it, they jump on the bandwagon. And they become supporters because of the hype

00:10:55.220 --> 00:11:00.940
 surrounding it. And if the team loses quickly, they disappear and are not present for the next season

00:11:00.940 --> 00:11:05.520
 unless the team makes it again to the finals. They are not true followers of the team.

00:11:06.660 --> 00:11:11.900
 The diehard fan who sticks with them through the bad seasons are the true follower of the team.

00:11:12.880 --> 00:11:18.200
 See, God the Father is often treated like this. When things go well, it's easy to commit.

00:11:19.020 --> 00:11:24.720
 But when things don't go well, it's easy to leave. Prayer is similar. It's hard to pray when things

00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:31.259
 aren't going well. We tend to heap up empty phrases, hoping we'll be heard. See, when he refers to the

00:11:31.259 --> 00:11:38.080
 Gentiles here who heap up the empty phrases, he's referring to those who go to pagan temples and

00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:43.600
 repeat the word constantly, constantly, constantly. In a sense, they badger God, the God of the temple,

00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:52.700
 to be heard. God wants some sincere prayer, not just many words. He knows what you need before you

00:11:52.700 --> 00:11:59.060
 ask him, as Jesus says here. So is this saying, then, should we not pray if God already knows what

00:11:59.060 --> 00:12:09.060
 we want or what we need? No. What's being said here is that God wants sincere prayer. But how do we pray,

00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.840
 then? That's the ultimate question we have to ask. Well, Jesus answers this in the next section.

00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:21.060
 Look with me at verses 9 to 12. So how do we pray? Pray then like this, Jesus says,

00:12:21.059 --> 00:12:31.139
 Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done as it is in heaven.

00:12:31.359 --> 00:12:37.079
 I'm so used to saying the liturgy one. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts,

00:12:37.579 --> 00:12:44.379
 as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

00:12:44.379 --> 00:12:52.100
 This is likely the most well-known part of scripture worldwide. And that's with Christians and non-Christians.

00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:55.200
 I should have gone around, I was thinking about this when I was writing this sermon,

00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:59.759
 I should have gone around asking people, do you know a part of the Lord's Prayer? Do you even know

00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:05.159
 what the Lord's Prayer is? I've done a couple non-Christian funerals, and all of them said to me,

00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:10.840
 we don't want anything religious. But then they asked for the Lord's Prayer. And then when I said the

00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:16.960
 Lord's Prayer during the funeral, everyone in the room, or most, knew what the Lord's Prayer was and

00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:23.200
 said it. They would say it with everybody else. Obviously, to a non-Christian, this holds no

00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:29.019
 significance. It's something that's just said in a moment of grief, a liturgy that holds no meaning.

00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:34.700
 But to a Christian, the significance of the Lord's Prayer is massive.

00:13:34.700 --> 00:13:42.340
 It's something that can bring comfort, just like Psalm 23 does. It's also something we can say

00:13:42.340 --> 00:13:49.140
 in community together. We say it here every Sunday, the Lord's Prayer, before we leave. We say the Lord's

00:13:49.140 --> 00:13:57.840
 Prayer together. But it's also something that gives a framework on how to pray. Jesus lays this out here.

00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:01.660
 And it's very important for us to look at it.

00:14:02.340 --> 00:14:06.540
 It helps us in seasons. It's a guide in seasons when we're lost for words.

00:14:07.040 --> 00:14:11.300
 When we feel like we're going through something that's too hard, and we have no idea what to say.

00:14:11.860 --> 00:14:13.320
 This gives the framework

00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:15.399
 on how we should pray.

00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:19.660
 But it also gives the framework, when seasons are going well,

00:14:20.019 --> 00:14:21.000
 on how we should pray.

00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:24.240
 Because it's easy for our eyes

00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.519
 and our hearts to go astray,

00:14:26.740 --> 00:14:28.379
 as one of the songs said.

00:14:29.340 --> 00:14:30.419
 So let's look at it.

00:14:30.820 --> 00:14:32.879
 See, it opens with an address.

00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:35.299
 Our Father in Heaven.

00:14:36.220 --> 00:14:37.519
 Like any conversation,

00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:39.419
 you must first address the person

00:14:39.419 --> 00:14:40.320
 you're talking to.

00:14:41.179 --> 00:14:43.419
 You can't just walk up beside someone

00:14:43.419 --> 00:14:45.340
 and start talking. They'll have no idea if you're

00:14:45.340 --> 00:14:47.440
 even talking to them, unless you're giving them eye contact.

00:14:48.899 --> 00:14:49.659
 See, you have to

00:14:49.659 --> 00:14:51.600
 open the, you have to address who you're talking to.

00:14:52.100 --> 00:14:54.139
 And the address is to the Heavenly Father.

00:14:54.719 --> 00:14:55.839
 Notice how Jesus says,

00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:56.519
 Our Father.

00:14:57.600 --> 00:14:59.299
 It's not a distant God,

00:14:59.379 --> 00:15:00.079
 but a Father.

00:15:00.740 --> 00:15:02.759
 It's one of deep intimacy,

00:15:03.259 --> 00:15:04.240
 of closeness.

00:15:05.339 --> 00:15:06.879
 This is the only God

00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:08.939
 that you could attribute this to,

00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:10.959
 of deep intimacy and closeness.

00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:13.740
 Notice in the first group.

00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:15.480
 See, the Lord's Prayer

00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:17.059
 has the address,

00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:19.220
 and then it has six petitions.

00:15:19.659 --> 00:15:20.240
 After it.

00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:22.120
 And you can list these petitions

00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:23.139
 in two groups,

00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:24.000
 in two segments.

00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:26.039
 So the first set of,

00:15:26.139 --> 00:15:27.159
 the first group of petitions,

00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:29.339
 they're directed towards God.

00:15:30.339 --> 00:15:31.740
 Hallowed be your name.

00:15:33.179 --> 00:15:34.279
 To hallow something

00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:36.100
 is to show a deep reverence.

00:15:36.419 --> 00:15:38.459
 Because God is completely holy,

00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:40.100
 we must treat him

00:15:40.100 --> 00:15:42.439
 with deep, deep reverence.

00:15:43.079 --> 00:15:44.039
 The first petition

00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:44.819
 is worship.

00:15:44.820 --> 00:15:47.160
 Before anything else,

00:15:47.280 --> 00:15:49.280
 God is worshipped

00:15:49.280 --> 00:15:50.440
 for who he is.

00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:52.080
 He is not worshipped

00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:53.000
 for what he does.

00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:54.040
 He is worshipped

00:15:54.040 --> 00:15:55.220
 for who he is.

00:15:55.500 --> 00:15:56.540
 For his holiness.

00:15:57.040 --> 00:15:57.720
 His perfect.

00:15:58.400 --> 00:15:58.660
 There is,

00:15:58.940 --> 00:16:00.379
 everything about God

00:16:00.379 --> 00:16:02.240
 is pure and holy.

00:16:02.800 --> 00:16:03.040
 Perfect.

00:16:03.800 --> 00:16:04.660
 And we are called

00:16:04.660 --> 00:16:06.060
 to worship him for that

00:16:06.060 --> 00:16:07.620
 before anything else.

00:16:07.620 --> 00:16:09.960
 Your kingdom come.

00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:12.080
 Prayer for continual

00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:14.240
 advancements of his kingdom.

00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:15.560
 Societal,

00:16:15.980 --> 00:16:16.379
 personal,

00:16:16.860 --> 00:16:17.379
 creational.

00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:19.340
 What this means

00:16:19.340 --> 00:16:20.539
 is that we are to pray

00:16:20.539 --> 00:16:22.240
 that more and more people

00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:23.279
 would become followers

00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:23.879
 of Jesus.

00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:25.600
 Would experience

00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:26.200
 his kingdom.

00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:28.200
 And for society

00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:29.379
 and our personal lives

00:16:29.379 --> 00:16:30.259
 and for the environment

00:16:30.259 --> 00:16:31.279
 to look more like

00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:31.980
 God's kingdom

00:16:31.980 --> 00:16:34.139
 until Jesus returns.

00:16:34.139 --> 00:16:36.360
 God's kingdom

00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:37.240
 is a big theme

00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:38.419
 in the gospel of Matthew.

00:16:38.939 --> 00:16:39.720
 You see it in

00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:40.919
 chapter 4,

00:16:41.019 --> 00:16:41.919
 verse 17.

00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:43.860
 Jesus said this,

00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:44.639
 from that time

00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:45.639
 Jesus began to preach

00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:45.939
 saying,

00:16:46.139 --> 00:16:46.500
 repent,

00:16:46.860 --> 00:16:48.059
 for the kingdom of heaven

00:16:48.059 --> 00:16:48.799
 is at hand.

00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:50.179
 This idea

00:16:50.179 --> 00:16:51.819
 of that God's kingdom

00:16:51.819 --> 00:16:52.879
 is eminent

00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:54.559
 is a huge theme

00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:55.580
 in the gospel.

00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:56.899
 And it's a huge theme

00:16:56.899 --> 00:16:58.299
 through the whole Bible.

00:16:59.059 --> 00:17:00.340
 That Jesus could return

00:17:00.340 --> 00:17:01.299
 at any time

00:17:01.299 --> 00:17:02.559
 and we are to pray

00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:03.740
 for his kingdom to come.

00:17:04.140 --> 00:17:05.100
 Right now,

00:17:05.340 --> 00:17:05.860
 on earth,

00:17:06.120 --> 00:17:06.780
 within things

00:17:06.780 --> 00:17:07.780
 that we interact with,

00:17:08.080 --> 00:17:09.080
 then also for him

00:17:09.080 --> 00:17:09.640
 to return

00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:10.700
 and for the new kingdom

00:17:10.700 --> 00:17:11.200
 to come.

00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:11.960
 The new heaven

00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:12.940
 and the new earth.

00:17:13.500 --> 00:17:14.600
 Your kingdom come.

00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:18.400
 And then he continues on.

00:17:18.900 --> 00:17:19.759
 Your will be done

00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:20.480
 on earth

00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:21.700
 as it is in heaven.

00:17:22.600 --> 00:17:23.360
 God's will

00:17:23.360 --> 00:17:24.540
 as it has been revealed

00:17:24.540 --> 00:17:25.100
 in scripture.

00:17:25.940 --> 00:17:26.660
 And what is that?

00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:28.380
 For those who don't know him

00:17:28.380 --> 00:17:29.820
 to come to a saving faith

00:17:29.820 --> 00:17:31.420
 through Jesus Christ,

00:17:31.520 --> 00:17:31.960
 his son.

00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:33.480
 And for those

00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:34.200
 who do know him

00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:34.920
 to become more

00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:35.660
 like his son

00:17:35.660 --> 00:17:36.480
 and follow him

00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:37.420
 to be committed

00:17:37.420 --> 00:17:38.420
 followers of Jesus

00:17:38.420 --> 00:17:39.539
 to give up their lives

00:17:39.539 --> 00:17:40.940
 and serve him

00:17:40.940 --> 00:17:42.539
 out of deep love for him.

00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:44.059
 See,

00:17:44.140 --> 00:17:44.840
 these petitions

00:17:44.840 --> 00:17:45.640
 have everything

00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:46.579
 to do with God.

00:17:47.700 --> 00:17:48.480
 For God

00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:48.920
 to be more

00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:49.920
 and more glorified

00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:50.920
 and for us

00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:51.920
 to be less and less

00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:52.900
 inward focused

00:17:52.900 --> 00:17:53.600
 on ourselves.

00:17:54.579 --> 00:17:55.180
 Notice how

00:17:55.180 --> 00:17:56.079
 the next section

00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:56.860
 of petitions

00:17:56.860 --> 00:17:57.779
 are directed

00:17:57.779 --> 00:17:58.759
 towards basic

00:17:58.759 --> 00:17:59.640
 personal needs

00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:00.640
 and communal needs.

00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:02.020
 give us

00:18:02.020 --> 00:18:02.840
 our daily bread.

00:18:03.820 --> 00:18:05.040
 Very simple prayer.

00:18:06.259 --> 00:18:06.720
 This is

00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:07.720
 to give

00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:08.420
 the mindset

00:18:08.420 --> 00:18:09.780
 of daily dependence

00:18:09.780 --> 00:18:10.380
 on God

00:18:10.380 --> 00:18:11.860
 and to teach us

00:18:11.860 --> 00:18:12.660
 not to take it

00:18:12.660 --> 00:18:13.160
 for granted.

00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:14.759
 For us

00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:15.880
 in our western world,

00:18:16.140 --> 00:18:16.580
 this feels

00:18:16.580 --> 00:18:17.500
 extremely remote.

00:18:18.580 --> 00:18:18.860
 We have

00:18:18.860 --> 00:18:20.280
 grocery stores

00:18:20.280 --> 00:18:20.960
 and food banks

00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:21.420
 everywhere.

00:18:22.259 --> 00:18:22.800
 It's actually

00:18:22.800 --> 00:18:23.380
 very hard

00:18:23.380 --> 00:18:24.520
 to truly go hungry.

00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:26.500
 This gives

00:18:26.500 --> 00:18:27.440
 the illusion

00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:28.600
 of self-sufficiency.

00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:29.959
 most of us

00:18:29.959 --> 00:18:30.659
 need to pray

00:18:30.659 --> 00:18:31.099
 for God

00:18:31.099 --> 00:18:31.919
 to teach us

00:18:31.919 --> 00:18:32.819
 to not take it

00:18:32.819 --> 00:18:33.319
 for granted

00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:33.779
 and to be

00:18:33.779 --> 00:18:34.339
 more generous.

00:18:35.659 --> 00:18:36.319
 That we are

00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:36.740
 to pray,

00:18:36.879 --> 00:18:37.199
 give us

00:18:37.199 --> 00:18:38.059
 our daily bread.

00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:39.240
 We have

00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:39.939
 so much of it,

00:18:39.980 --> 00:18:40.399
 we are called

00:18:40.399 --> 00:18:41.199
 to bless others.

00:18:41.859 --> 00:18:42.619
 Many in the world

00:18:42.619 --> 00:18:43.419
 have no idea

00:18:43.419 --> 00:18:44.119
 when or where

00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:44.859
 their next meal

00:18:44.859 --> 00:18:45.779
 is coming from

00:18:45.779 --> 00:18:47.099
 and how they're

00:18:47.099 --> 00:18:47.539
 going to feed

00:18:47.539 --> 00:18:48.039
 their children.

00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:50.759
 For them,

00:18:50.879 --> 00:18:51.779
 this prayer

00:18:51.779 --> 00:18:52.819
 would be way more

00:18:52.819 --> 00:18:55.480
 pressing

00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:56.299
 and on their minds.

00:18:56.299 --> 00:18:58.460
 And then he continues,

00:18:58.659 --> 00:18:59.139
 and forgive us

00:18:59.139 --> 00:18:59.700
 our debts

00:18:59.700 --> 00:19:00.579
 as we have also

00:19:00.579 --> 00:19:01.599
 forgiven our debtors.

00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:02.759
 Interestingly,

00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:04.519
 this is the only

00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:05.579
 part of this prayer

00:19:05.579 --> 00:19:06.819
 that Jesus

00:19:06.819 --> 00:19:08.019
 singles out

00:19:08.019 --> 00:19:09.359
 and talks about

00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:10.299
 immediately after

00:19:10.299 --> 00:19:10.919
 this section

00:19:10.919 --> 00:19:11.819
 of the prayer.

00:19:12.539 --> 00:19:13.220
 He ends it

00:19:13.220 --> 00:19:13.980
 talking about it

00:19:13.980 --> 00:19:14.319
 and we're going

00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:14.740
 to look at it

00:19:14.740 --> 00:19:15.200
 in a moment.

00:19:16.019 --> 00:19:16.819
 But in the meantime,

00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:18.119
 debt means sin.

00:19:19.180 --> 00:19:19.339
 See,

00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:20.980
 when we sin,

00:19:21.299 --> 00:19:22.559
 before we know God,

00:19:22.879 --> 00:19:23.339
 before we've

00:19:23.339 --> 00:19:24.419
 committed ourselves

00:19:24.420 --> 00:19:25.060
 to Jesus,

00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:27.360
 when we sin,

00:19:27.700 --> 00:19:28.600
 we owe God

00:19:28.600 --> 00:19:29.140
 for that.

00:19:29.940 --> 00:19:30.539
 And that is the

00:19:30.539 --> 00:19:31.440
 whole gospel

00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:32.240
 there in a nutshell,

00:19:32.360 --> 00:19:33.160
 that Jesus came

00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:34.220
 to pay that debt.

00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:35.860
 That is what

00:19:35.860 --> 00:19:36.960
 debt means here.

00:19:37.460 --> 00:19:37.840
 And lead us

00:19:37.840 --> 00:19:38.740
 not into temptation,

00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:39.480
 but deliver us

00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:39.900
 from evil.

00:19:40.380 --> 00:19:41.380
 We are to ask God

00:19:41.380 --> 00:19:42.060
 to not allow

00:19:42.060 --> 00:19:43.060
 situations that

00:19:43.060 --> 00:19:44.300
 lead us to temptation.

00:19:45.580 --> 00:19:46.940
 God never tempts us,

00:19:47.060 --> 00:19:47.680
 but he allows

00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:48.740
 situations where

00:19:48.740 --> 00:19:49.940
 temptations can happen.

00:19:50.500 --> 00:19:51.240
 If he didn't,

00:19:51.580 --> 00:19:52.460
 he would be a tyrant

00:19:52.460 --> 00:19:53.380
 over our lives

00:19:53.380 --> 00:19:54.680
 and free will

00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:55.400
 wouldn't exist.

00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:57.079
 Now,

00:19:57.140 --> 00:19:57.819
 the Lord's Prayer,

00:19:58.140 --> 00:19:58.819
 as I've just gone

00:19:58.819 --> 00:19:59.539
 through very quickly,

00:19:59.940 --> 00:20:00.700
 the Lord's Prayer

00:20:00.700 --> 00:20:02.200
 that can be made

00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:03.480
 to fit any situation,

00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:05.640
 it's a very profound

00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:06.079
 thing,

00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:07.480
 what Jesus gives here

00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:08.259
 to his disciples

00:20:08.259 --> 00:20:09.120
 and those listening.

00:20:09.840 --> 00:20:11.100
 It's an amazing compass

00:20:11.100 --> 00:20:12.420
 for our prayer lives

00:20:12.420 --> 00:20:13.319
 and the focus

00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:14.660
 is never on ourselves,

00:20:14.860 --> 00:20:15.100
 truly.

00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:16.420
 Did you notice

00:20:16.420 --> 00:20:16.880
 how everything

00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:17.600
 is in the plural?

00:20:19.120 --> 00:20:20.600
 But the focus

00:20:20.600 --> 00:20:22.140
 is on God,

00:20:22.460 --> 00:20:23.720
 and mostly

00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:24.420
 on others.

00:20:24.900 --> 00:20:25.559
 The whole prayer

00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:26.360
 is written in plural.

00:20:26.620 --> 00:20:27.279
 It's a prayer

00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:28.019
 of community

00:20:28.019 --> 00:20:29.000
 rather than

00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:30.240
 an act of deep devotion.

00:20:31.140 --> 00:20:31.980
 We are to pray

00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:32.779
 to God,

00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:33.840
 to worship him,

00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:35.480
 to ask for his will

00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:35.980
 to happen,

00:20:36.660 --> 00:20:37.980
 and for him

00:20:37.980 --> 00:20:39.079
 to bless others

00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:40.000
 as well as ourselves.

00:20:41.100 --> 00:20:41.880
 It's an act

00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:43.380
 of prayer

00:20:43.380 --> 00:20:45.480
 within a community.

00:20:46.860 --> 00:20:47.779
 But look with me

00:20:47.779 --> 00:20:48.759
 at the last section.

00:20:49.019 --> 00:20:49.440
 Look with me

00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:50.539
 at what Jesus does here

00:20:50.539 --> 00:20:51.259
 after he gives

00:20:51.259 --> 00:20:52.039
 this idea

00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:52.519
 of prayer,

00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:53.480
 how he shows them.

00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:54.559
 Look with me

00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:56.220
 at verses 14 and 15.

00:20:58.920 --> 00:20:59.779
 For if you forgive

00:20:59.779 --> 00:21:01.720
 others their trespasses,

00:21:02.299 --> 00:21:03.279
 your heavenly Father

00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:04.460
 will also forgive you.

00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:06.799
 But if you do not

00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:07.480
 forgive others

00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:08.420
 their trespasses,

00:21:08.659 --> 00:21:09.559
 neither will your Father

00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:10.819
 forgive your trespasses.

00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:13.619
 This is a stark warning,

00:21:13.619 --> 00:21:15.879
 and it's a warning

00:21:15.879 --> 00:21:17.819
 because it shows

00:21:17.819 --> 00:21:19.439
 how a disciple's heart

00:21:19.439 --> 00:21:22.039
 can be not truly changed.

00:21:23.299 --> 00:21:24.759
 To be a follower of Jesus

00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:26.199
 is to be living

00:21:26.199 --> 00:21:27.479
 radically different

00:21:27.479 --> 00:21:28.779
 the way our hearts

00:21:28.779 --> 00:21:29.519
 tend to lead.

00:21:31.259 --> 00:21:32.519
 We are called

00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:33.259
 to forgive.

00:21:34.619 --> 00:21:34.759
 See,

00:21:34.859 --> 00:21:36.259
 when we are wronged,

00:21:36.419 --> 00:21:37.199
 when someone commits

00:21:37.199 --> 00:21:38.079
 something against us,

00:21:38.159 --> 00:21:39.859
 we instantly want revenge.

00:21:41.059 --> 00:21:42.419
 But Jesus commands us

00:21:42.420 --> 00:21:43.060
 to forgive.

00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:45.680
 Now,

00:21:45.740 --> 00:21:46.519
 I want to acknowledge

00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:48.220
 that there is people

00:21:48.220 --> 00:21:49.259
 sitting here in the room,

00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:50.660
 or there could be

00:21:50.660 --> 00:21:51.880
 someone listening online,

00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:54.500
 who's had horrible things

00:21:54.500 --> 00:21:55.000
 done to them

00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:55.660
 by somebody

00:21:55.660 --> 00:21:56.779
 or many people.

00:21:57.640 --> 00:21:58.759
 And this idea

00:21:58.759 --> 00:21:59.539
 of forgiveness

00:21:59.539 --> 00:22:01.500
 can feel unfathomable.

00:22:02.500 --> 00:22:03.320
 And for me

00:22:03.320 --> 00:22:04.160
 to be up here

00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:05.740
 saying to forgive

00:22:05.740 --> 00:22:08.019
 could be unsettling.

00:22:08.019 --> 00:22:10.920
 I want to acknowledge that.

00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:11.759
 Because forgiveness

00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:12.400
 is something

00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:13.839
 that is extremely hard

00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:14.319
 to do

00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:15.660
 on our own.

00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:17.700
 So how do we address this?

00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:19.240
 How do we address this

00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:20.139
 for those sitting in the room

00:22:20.139 --> 00:22:21.160
 and for us as well?

00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:23.660
 How do we forgive?

00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:26.460
 Did you notice

00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:27.240
 how many times

00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:28.079
 Jesus says,

00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:29.220
 your father,

00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:30.400
 our father,

00:22:30.879 --> 00:22:31.379
 in this?

00:22:31.859 --> 00:22:33.379
 He says it six times

00:22:33.379 --> 00:22:34.400
 within this section

00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:35.839
 focused on prayer.

00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:37.819
 But in the whole chapter

00:22:37.819 --> 00:22:38.819
 of chapter six,

00:22:38.939 --> 00:22:40.119
 it's said eleven times.

00:22:41.859 --> 00:22:42.299
 See,

00:22:42.379 --> 00:22:43.740
 this is a very important thing.

00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:44.659
 When things are repeated

00:22:44.659 --> 00:22:45.339
 in the Bible,

00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:47.139
 we need to take note of it.

00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:48.559
 Because that means

00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:49.299
 there's a deep meaning

00:22:49.299 --> 00:22:50.000
 behind it.

00:22:51.159 --> 00:22:52.139
 Jesus is saying

00:22:52.139 --> 00:22:52.859
 our standing

00:22:52.859 --> 00:22:53.679
 with the father

00:22:53.679 --> 00:22:55.619
 is the same as his.

00:22:56.579 --> 00:22:57.819
 But how does this happen?

00:22:59.119 --> 00:22:59.740
 It happens

00:22:59.740 --> 00:23:00.319
 when we look

00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:01.119
 to the cross.

00:23:01.959 --> 00:23:02.720
 When Jesus

00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:03.839
 went to the cross,

00:23:04.419 --> 00:23:04.899
 for you

00:23:04.899 --> 00:23:05.480
 and for me,

00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:06.519
 he took our place

00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:07.200
 and gave us

00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:07.740
 a standing

00:23:07.740 --> 00:23:08.420
 with the father.

00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:10.279
 When you put your faith

00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:11.140
 and trust in Jesus,

00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:12.360
 you become a follower

00:23:12.360 --> 00:23:13.900
 of fellow heirs

00:23:13.900 --> 00:23:14.759
 and inheritors

00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:16.120
 of righteousness

00:23:16.120 --> 00:23:16.819
 with him.

00:23:18.339 --> 00:23:20.039
 When this is truly

00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:21.099
 fully grasped,

00:23:21.380 --> 00:23:22.019
 our hearts begin

00:23:22.019 --> 00:23:22.620
 to change

00:23:22.620 --> 00:23:23.299
 through the work

00:23:23.299 --> 00:23:23.880
 of the spirit.

00:23:24.180 --> 00:23:24.860
 It's not out

00:23:24.860 --> 00:23:25.759
 of our own doing

00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:27.360
 that we can forgive

00:23:27.360 --> 00:23:29.019
 or our hearts change.

00:23:29.860 --> 00:23:30.059
 See,

00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:31.120
 through this,

00:23:32.500 --> 00:23:33.480
 through the cross,

00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:34.860
 we can look

00:23:34.860 --> 00:23:35.420
 at this

00:23:35.420 --> 00:23:36.200
 and see

00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:36.839
 how a heart

00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:37.480
 of praise

00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:38.740
 leads to gospel

00:23:38.740 --> 00:23:39.299
 change.

00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:40.759
 See,

00:23:40.860 --> 00:23:41.940
 only through the gospel

00:23:41.940 --> 00:23:42.779
 can forgiveness

00:23:42.779 --> 00:23:43.700
 truly happen.

00:23:45.019 --> 00:23:45.720
 And forgiveness

00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:46.380
 doesn't mean

00:23:46.380 --> 00:23:47.160
 reconciliation

00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:48.140
 with the person.

00:23:48.360 --> 00:23:48.759
 It doesn't mean

00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:49.140
 you have to have

00:23:49.140 --> 00:23:49.740
 a relationship

00:23:49.740 --> 00:23:50.519
 with the person.

00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:51.480
 That's not what

00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:52.539
 forgiveness is.

00:23:53.360 --> 00:23:53.960
 Forgiveness

00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:56.019
 is allowing you

00:23:56.019 --> 00:23:56.720
 to let go

00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:58.140
 and for the gospel

00:23:58.140 --> 00:23:58.860
 to continually

00:23:58.860 --> 00:23:59.740
 change you

00:23:59.740 --> 00:24:01.039
 deeper and deeper

00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:01.859
 into a child

00:24:01.859 --> 00:24:02.359
 of God.

00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:03.960
 That is what

00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:04.940
 forgiveness is about.

00:24:05.539 --> 00:24:05.819
 Forgiveness

00:24:05.819 --> 00:24:06.759
 is not about

00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:07.519
 making a new

00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:07.980
 relationship

00:24:07.980 --> 00:24:08.700
 with that person.

00:24:09.399 --> 00:24:09.960
 It's about

00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:10.720
 what God

00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:11.139
 can do

00:24:11.139 --> 00:24:11.779
 with you

00:24:11.779 --> 00:24:12.659
 and through you

00:24:12.659 --> 00:24:13.619
 as you forgive

00:24:13.619 --> 00:24:14.139
 through the work

00:24:14.139 --> 00:24:14.659
 of his spirit.

00:24:15.339 --> 00:24:16.279
 Only through praise

00:24:16.279 --> 00:24:17.019
 and adoration

00:24:17.019 --> 00:24:18.059
 in our prayer lives

00:24:18.059 --> 00:24:19.359
 can we be disciples

00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:19.899
 of Jesus.

00:24:20.500 --> 00:24:21.159
 And it starts

00:24:21.159 --> 00:24:21.680
 with looking

00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:22.359
 at the cross.

00:24:23.399 --> 00:24:24.059
 Looking at

00:24:24.059 --> 00:24:25.240
 the great sacrifice

00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:26.420
 Jesus did for us,

00:24:27.099 --> 00:24:27.559
 for you

00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:28.099
 and for me,

00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:29.139
 and how much

00:24:29.139 --> 00:24:29.899
 we have been forgiven

00:24:29.899 --> 00:24:30.859
 through grace alone.

00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:32.420
 That is where

00:24:32.420 --> 00:24:33.319
 change happens.

00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:34.299
 And that is where

00:24:34.299 --> 00:24:35.759
 the praise happens.

00:24:36.299 --> 00:24:36.839
 And that is when

00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:38.019
 gospel change happens.

00:24:38.899 --> 00:24:39.399
 And that is when

00:24:39.399 --> 00:24:39.960
 we can say

00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:40.799
 the Lord's Prayer

00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:42.240
 not as an act

00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:43.259
 of just monotonous

00:24:43.259 --> 00:24:43.839
 liturgy,

00:24:44.299 --> 00:24:45.059
 but as an act

00:24:45.059 --> 00:24:46.220
 of deep devotion

00:24:46.220 --> 00:24:47.240
 and community

00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:48.319
 and communal prayer.

00:24:49.779 --> 00:24:50.740
 This deep longing

00:24:50.740 --> 00:24:51.299
 to connect

00:24:51.299 --> 00:24:52.220
 with a higher power

00:24:52.220 --> 00:24:53.559
 that's worldwide,

00:24:53.740 --> 00:24:54.839
 it's a worldwide longing,

00:24:55.659 --> 00:24:56.940
 is only satisfied

00:24:56.940 --> 00:24:57.579
 in the one

00:24:57.579 --> 00:24:58.480
 true living God.

00:24:58.480 --> 00:24:58.519
 God.

00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:00.880
 It's only satisfied

00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:01.279
 in that.

00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:03.279
 People flock

00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:04.279
 around the world

00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:05.480
 to have a religious

00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:06.160
 experience,

00:25:06.259 --> 00:25:07.440
 a spiritual experience.

00:25:07.900 --> 00:25:09.039
 But we see here,

00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:10.480
 Jesus lists it out,

00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:12.099
 what is a true

00:25:12.099 --> 00:25:13.259
 religious experience.

00:25:14.259 --> 00:25:15.380
 And that is a relationship

00:25:15.380 --> 00:25:16.200
 with the Father,

00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:17.799
 praising him,

00:25:18.339 --> 00:25:19.259
 asking for his will,

00:25:19.360 --> 00:25:20.440
 for his kingdom to come,

00:25:21.059 --> 00:25:22.380
 praising him for the cross,

00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:23.380
 telling people

00:25:23.380 --> 00:25:24.319
 about the cross,

00:25:24.819 --> 00:25:26.120
 spreading that message,

00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:27.679
 that Jesus came

00:25:27.679 --> 00:25:28.379
 into the world

00:25:28.379 --> 00:25:29.479
 to save sinners.

00:25:29.479 --> 00:25:29.679
 Thank you.

00:25:29.679 --> 00:25:29.679
