00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.060
 It has been previously stated in our study of John's gospel, the purpose for his writing.

00:00:06.860 --> 00:00:16.160
 We need not dig deep or postulate long on the matter because he tells us in John chapter 20, verse 30 and 31.

00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:22.859
 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples which are not written in this book.

00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:29.620
 But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.479
 And that by believing you may have life in his name.

00:00:34.780 --> 00:00:44.500
 John wants his readers to behold the miracle-working Jesus in order to understand him to be God's anointed one.

00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:51.420
 The Savior of the world as we saw him called by the believers at Sychar a number of weeks ago.

00:00:51.420 --> 00:00:56.879
 That's the point of all these miracles. We're going to look at one together this morning.

00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:08.400
 As John labors to do this, to help us believe, he juxtaposes belief in Jesus with rejection of Jesus.

00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:21.579
 We see the very first clear instance of strong oppositional resistance to Jesus in today's text.

00:01:21.579 --> 00:01:32.319
 In broad terms, the Jews of Jesus' day did not want him on his terms, but on their own.

00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:39.400
 They understood the Messiah to be a military slash political figure.

00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:43.259
 One who was going to come and deliver them from the rule of Rome.

00:01:43.260 --> 00:01:52.140
 They did not anticipate Jesus' objection to their hypocritical religious systems and traditions.

00:01:52.520 --> 00:01:55.560
 And they would eventually kill him for it.

00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:08.560
 If we are to have Jesus, and there is no greater reality than this, to know God and to be known by him,

00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:13.800
 then we must have him on his terms.

00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:20.460
 On the back of your bulletin, the historic quotation this morning is from a man named William Bates,

00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:21.080
 who once said,

00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:26.880
 Many would depend on Christ's sacrifice, yet will not submit to his scepter.

00:02:27.660 --> 00:02:32.760
 They would have Christ to pacify their consciences and the world to please their affections.

00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:39.020
 They would have Christ to die for them, but not to live in them.

00:02:39.020 --> 00:02:43.600
 May it not be so of us this morning.

00:02:44.740 --> 00:02:46.660
 Let's pray before I read the text.

00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:53.420
 Father, help us this day as we take up your word together,

00:02:53.580 --> 00:03:02.640
 this blessed and precious thing, this authoritative, inerrant, sufficient word for us.

00:03:03.300 --> 00:03:07.420
 As we do this this morning, we want to do so carefully.

00:03:07.419 --> 00:03:14.379
 We want to rightly understand it this day, and we humbly recognize that we need your help to do so.

00:03:15.339 --> 00:03:18.819
 We know that it's written for your glory and for our good,

00:03:18.939 --> 00:03:26.959
 and so help us to believe its promises and obey its commands and have affection for you, its author.

00:03:28.419 --> 00:03:35.799
 We pray, Father, that we would see Christ as he is and accept him on his terms this morning.

00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:37.860
 And we pray this in his name.

00:03:38.880 --> 00:03:39.360
 Amen.

00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:45.380
 John chapter 5, beginning in verse 1, and I'll read through verse 18.

00:03:46.219 --> 00:03:50.460
 After this, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

00:03:50.460 --> 00:04:00.600
 Now, there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, an Aramaic called Bethesda, which has five roofed colonnades or porches.

00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:06.980
 In these lay a multitude of invalids, blind, lame, and paralyzed.

00:04:08.100 --> 00:04:11.819
 One man was there who had been an invalid for 38 years.

00:04:11.819 --> 00:04:17.839
 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him,

00:04:18.019 --> 00:04:19.740
 Do you want to be healed?

00:04:20.740 --> 00:04:22.240
 The sick man answered him,

00:04:22.719 --> 00:04:26.360
 Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up,

00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.819
 and while I am going, another steps down before me.

00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:32.019
 Jesus said to him,

00:04:32.459 --> 00:04:35.600
 Get up, take up your bed, and walk.

00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:40.220
 And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked.

00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:43.080
 Now that day was the Sabbath.

00:04:43.939 --> 00:04:46.120
 So the Jews said to the man who had been healed,

00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.200
 It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to take up your bed.

00:04:50.140 --> 00:04:51.420
 But he answered them,

00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:54.460
 The man who healed me, the man that said to me,

00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:56.120
 Take up your bed and walk.

00:04:57.400 --> 00:04:58.320
 They asked him,

00:04:58.640 --> 00:04:59.860
 Who is the man who said to you,

00:04:59.900 --> 00:05:01.180
 Take up your bed and walk?

00:05:02.180 --> 00:05:04.560
 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was,

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:08.199
 For Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place.

00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.139
 Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple and said to him,

00:05:12.660 --> 00:05:13.620
 See, you are well.

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.860
 Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you.

00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:21.340
 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.

00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:25.100
 And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus,

00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.860
 because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.

00:05:28.860 --> 00:05:30.120
 But Jesus answered them,

00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.600
 My father is working until now, and I am working.

00:05:35.579 --> 00:05:38.379
 This is why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him,

00:05:38.420 --> 00:05:40.340
 because not only was he breaking the Sabbath,

00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.620
 but he was even calling God his own father,

00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:47.300
 making himself equal with God.

00:05:47.300 --> 00:05:51.400
 Now before I share with you the outline for our study,

00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:57.699
 let's take a brief look at the setting for this text in verses 1-5.

00:05:58.340 --> 00:06:01.139
 Three things I want to note about it, these five verses.

00:06:02.060 --> 00:06:06.819
 First, just note the location, verses 1 and 2.

00:06:07.340 --> 00:06:10.400
 It's at the time of a feast, and it's not a designated feast.

00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.519
 We're not sure which feast this is exactly.

00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:18.459
 And John's not telling us a tight chronological story here,

00:06:18.539 --> 00:06:21.139
 so we're just not sure which it is.

00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:22.639
 But because it's a feast,

00:06:22.719 --> 00:06:26.680
 there would have been a lot of people gathered in Jerusalem.

00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:29.399
 He's gone up to Jerusalem.

00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:31.319
 It's up on a hill,

00:06:31.500 --> 00:06:34.879
 and he's at a place called Bethesda,

00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:38.259
 a pool near the Sheep Gate.

00:06:38.359 --> 00:06:41.539
 It's got these five roofs around it.

00:06:41.540 --> 00:06:44.879
 And in those places, these colonnades,

00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:46.800
 there are multitudes,

00:06:46.900 --> 00:06:49.600
 and we don't know exactly what that number means,

00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:53.439
 but we have to imagine a lot of invalids.

00:06:53.960 --> 00:06:57.240
 Blind, lame, paralyzed.

00:06:57.740 --> 00:07:01.580
 People who are there taking shelter under these porches,

00:07:01.580 --> 00:07:03.820
 around this pool,

00:07:04.140 --> 00:07:08.120
 looking for relief to be healed.

00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:12.579
 And we find amongst this multitude of invalids,

00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:18.500
 one man who had been an invalid for 38 years.

00:07:18.620 --> 00:07:22.780
 So this is the location of where this is happening.

00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.780
 Secondly, notice that there is a multitude.

00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:28.680
 I mentioned this already,

00:07:29.060 --> 00:07:31.639
 and we're going to see down in verse 13,

00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:33.600
 there's a man healed,

00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.000
 and he doesn't know who it is that healed him

00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:37.939
 because Jesus had withdrawn.

00:07:38.180 --> 00:07:40.480
 And John tells us the reason for that,

00:07:40.520 --> 00:07:44.920
 because there was a crowd in the place.

00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:49.100
 Jesus is often not a fan of the crowd.

00:07:49.220 --> 00:07:51.100
 He's awaiting his time

00:07:51.100 --> 00:07:54.840
 when crowds are going to cry for his crucifixion.

00:07:54.840 --> 00:07:57.640
 And so he escapes the mob.

00:07:57.939 --> 00:07:59.260
 He goes into places,

00:07:59.420 --> 00:08:01.439
 and he ministers to the individual,

00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.360
 and then he escapes out of it.

00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:04.560
 And the significance of this

00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:06.959
 will come up a bit later.

00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:10.639
 Third thing I want to note about the setting,

00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.759
 really just as we're looking at these first verses,

00:08:15.660 --> 00:08:16.899
 you may have noticed,

00:08:17.100 --> 00:08:19.459
 if you're being astute at all this morning,

00:08:19.899 --> 00:08:24.899
 that there is no verse 4 in the text that I read.

00:08:24.899 --> 00:08:29.399
 Some of your translations may have a verse 4,

00:08:29.479 --> 00:08:31.379
 a little bit at the end of verse 3,

00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.100
 and a verse 4.

00:08:33.179 --> 00:08:35.860
 But the ESV, which I read from this morning,

00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:38.279
 does not have a verse 4.

00:08:38.620 --> 00:08:40.480
 I kind of wish I'd show of hands.

00:08:40.539 --> 00:08:42.059
 How many of you noticed that?

00:08:42.939 --> 00:08:45.779
 The King James Version has a phrase

00:08:45.779 --> 00:08:47.220
 at the end of verse 3,

00:08:47.340 --> 00:08:48.899
 and then a verse 4.

00:08:48.939 --> 00:08:50.779
 I'm going to read it to you,

00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:51.879
 and we're going to talk a little bit,

00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:52.799
 it's a little bit of an aside,

00:08:53.340 --> 00:08:53.700
 why?

00:08:53.820 --> 00:08:57.439
 Why the exclusion of verse 4 in my reading?

00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.720
 So this is from the King James Version 1900,

00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:02.519
 the year 1900.

00:09:03.580 --> 00:09:04.220
 Verse 3,

00:09:04.299 --> 00:09:07.039
 And these lay a great multitude of impotent folk,

00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.360
 of blind halt withered,

00:09:09.419 --> 00:09:10.179
 and here's the addition,

00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:13.860
 waiting for the moving of the water.

00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:15.379
 And then verse 4,

00:09:15.379 --> 00:09:18.399
 For an angel went down at a certain season

00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:19.340
 into the pool,

00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:21.059
 and troubled the water,

00:09:21.059 --> 00:09:22.959
 whosoever then first,

00:09:23.099 --> 00:09:24.779
 after the troubling of the water,

00:09:24.859 --> 00:09:25.500
 stepped in,

00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:29.619
 was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

00:09:30.579 --> 00:09:32.019
 Now, I think it's probable,

00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:34.139
 upon your first reading of this,

00:09:34.500 --> 00:09:36.179
 that you even filled those details in.

00:09:36.239 --> 00:09:36.599
 I did,

00:09:36.719 --> 00:09:39.099
 when I read John chapter 5,

00:09:39.419 --> 00:09:40.719
 sat down this week to do it.

00:09:40.899 --> 00:09:41.879
 In my mind,

00:09:41.959 --> 00:09:43.659
 I knew the explanation for why

00:09:43.659 --> 00:09:45.319
 this healing was able to happen.

00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:46.739
 An angel stirred up the water.

00:09:46.859 --> 00:09:49.839
 That's where this comes from.

00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:52.399
 So we have a little bit of an issue

00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.000
 I think we should address.

00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:55.600
 It's important that we recognize

00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:58.800
 that there's some translations that include it,

00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.680
 there's some translations that don't.

00:10:02.060 --> 00:10:02.800
 And I hope,

00:10:02.940 --> 00:10:04.960
 in my briefest of explanations,

00:10:05.300 --> 00:10:07.440
 to give you greater confidence

00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:09.899
 in the word that we have before us.

00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:11.500
 So first,

00:10:11.980 --> 00:10:15.080
 the labor of looking at old manuscripts

00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:19.100
 and deciding what belongs in the scripture

00:10:19.100 --> 00:10:21.340
 is toiled over.

00:10:22.620 --> 00:10:25.400
 Very intelligent people across the ages,

00:10:25.580 --> 00:10:26.820
 still going on today,

00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:30.220
 do this very careful work.

00:10:31.220 --> 00:10:33.020
 We have an abundance,

00:10:34.520 --> 00:10:36.139
 an embarrassing amount,

00:10:36.139 --> 00:10:38.139
 of ancient manuscripts,

00:10:38.940 --> 00:10:40.480
 over 5,000 of them,

00:10:40.560 --> 00:10:43.440
 whole documents and fragments of documents,

00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.340
 more wealth of ancient manuscripts

00:10:46.340 --> 00:10:49.280
 than any other ancient writing at all.

00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:51.560
 If you have any confidence in any old writing,

00:10:51.640 --> 00:10:53.400
 you should have even more confidence

00:10:53.400 --> 00:10:55.880
 in this text.

00:10:56.520 --> 00:10:59.220
 The very words we have,

00:10:59.280 --> 00:11:00.500
 now you can decide whether or not

00:11:00.500 --> 00:11:02.240
 there's God's words to us,

00:11:02.520 --> 00:11:03.620
 but we have the words.

00:11:03.620 --> 00:11:07.600
 This is a reliable ancient document.

00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:09.200
 But,

00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:10.720
 sometimes,

00:11:11.220 --> 00:11:13.379
 there's some small discrepancies.

00:11:14.800 --> 00:11:17.460
 The earlier and most reliable

00:11:17.460 --> 00:11:19.759
 of these ancient manuscripts

00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:21.639
 do not include

00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:23.100
 the last little bit of verse 3

00:11:23.100 --> 00:11:25.019
 and verse 4.

00:11:25.940 --> 00:11:27.420
 Now you may have it as a footnote,

00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:27.779
 I do,

00:11:28.019 --> 00:11:29.159
 and my friends,

00:11:29.220 --> 00:11:29.659
 I look down,

00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:29.860
 I go,

00:11:29.940 --> 00:11:31.279
 hey, what happened to verse 4?

00:11:31.420 --> 00:11:32.420
 And you can look down at the bottom

00:11:32.420 --> 00:11:33.279
 and it tells you

00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:34.200
 what that

00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:36.580
 would have said.

00:11:36.580 --> 00:11:37.680
 And so the decision

00:11:37.680 --> 00:11:40.259
 for the ESV

00:11:40.259 --> 00:11:41.920
 was to exclude it altogether.

00:11:42.340 --> 00:11:43.900
 Sometimes you find it in brackets

00:11:43.900 --> 00:11:45.200
 with some footnoting

00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:46.600
 about how it may not have been

00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:48.759
 in earlier manuscripts.

00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:50.700
 But they're doing this

00:11:50.700 --> 00:11:52.480
 really careful work,

00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:52.820
 right,

00:11:52.860 --> 00:11:54.139
 of trying to sort out

00:11:54.139 --> 00:11:54.900
 what does

00:11:54.900 --> 00:11:56.780
 and what doesn't belong.

00:11:57.860 --> 00:11:59.040
 The very best guess

00:11:59.040 --> 00:12:00.259
 of how the end of verse 3

00:12:00.259 --> 00:12:01.080
 and verse 4

00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:02.640
 arrived

00:12:02.640 --> 00:12:04.040
 is that it was likely

00:12:04.040 --> 00:12:05.900
 a marginal note.

00:12:05.899 --> 00:12:07.679
 Somebody wrote off to the side

00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:08.620
 some explanation

00:12:08.620 --> 00:12:09.879
 like a study note

00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:11.659
 off to the side

00:12:11.659 --> 00:12:12.959
 and it's made its way

00:12:12.959 --> 00:12:14.419
 into subsequent copies.

00:12:14.539 --> 00:12:16.759
 We don't know for sure.

00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:18.159
 But

00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:20.720
 the thing that we should

00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:22.539
 gain our confidence

00:12:22.539 --> 00:12:23.919
 in these texts

00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:25.620
 is that they're doing

00:12:25.620 --> 00:12:27.000
 this very careful work,

00:12:27.259 --> 00:12:27.459
 right?

00:12:27.579 --> 00:12:28.919
 They're not renumbering it.

00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:30.480
 They're including the footnotes

00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:31.240
 down at the bottom.

00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:32.180
 And

00:12:32.180 --> 00:12:33.399
 no place,

00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:34.460
 no place,

00:12:34.460 --> 00:12:35.539
 of the few discrepancies

00:12:35.539 --> 00:12:36.120
 that there are,

00:12:36.419 --> 00:12:37.480
 no place that there is

00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:38.220
 a discrepancy

00:12:38.220 --> 00:12:39.159
 is any

00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:40.180
 doctrine

00:12:40.180 --> 00:12:41.039
 in conflict.

00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:42.919
 It doesn't change

00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:43.940
 all the things

00:12:43.940 --> 00:12:44.919
 that we need to believe

00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:46.100
 for life

00:12:46.100 --> 00:12:47.060
 and godliness.

00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:47.820
 We find

00:12:47.820 --> 00:12:49.320
 these things,

00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:49.639
 right,

00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:50.060
 these

00:12:50.060 --> 00:12:52.019
 explanations.

00:12:52.019 --> 00:12:54.259
 So,

00:12:54.659 --> 00:12:55.259
 if you

00:12:55.259 --> 00:12:56.819
 prefer to include

00:12:56.819 --> 00:12:57.960
 the end of verse 3

00:12:57.960 --> 00:12:59.720
 in chapter 4,

00:13:00.139 --> 00:13:01.579
 it opens up some

00:13:01.579 --> 00:13:02.960
 possibility here

00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:04.620
 that God has

00:13:04.620 --> 00:13:05.559
 provided

00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:06.559
 for the relief

00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:08.319
 of sufferers.

00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:08.679
 There's a,

00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:10.360
 this miraculous pool,

00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:10.759
 right,

00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:11.980
 that an angel comes down to

00:13:11.980 --> 00:13:13.120
 and stirs the water

00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:13.960
 and the first one in

00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:15.819
 is healed.

00:13:15.820 --> 00:13:16.600
 And perhaps

00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:17.240
 that's what's going

00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:18.680
 on here,

00:13:18.860 --> 00:13:19.060
 right?

00:13:19.140 --> 00:13:20.080
 If you take the end

00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:20.620
 of verse 3

00:13:20.620 --> 00:13:22.020
 and verse 4

00:13:22.020 --> 00:13:23.040
 as God's word,

00:13:23.100 --> 00:13:23.540
 then we must

00:13:23.540 --> 00:13:24.440
 come to that

00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:25.200
 conclusion.

00:13:26.100 --> 00:13:26.920
 If you don't,

00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:28.440
 which I wouldn't,

00:13:29.340 --> 00:13:29.780
 then we're just

00:13:29.780 --> 00:13:30.379
 really not sure.

00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:32.540
 Maybe that's what's

00:13:32.540 --> 00:13:33.720
 going on here.

00:13:35.020 --> 00:13:35.500
 Or,

00:13:35.640 --> 00:13:36.080
 perhaps,

00:13:36.220 --> 00:13:36.780
 some have said

00:13:36.780 --> 00:13:38.040
 that this pool

00:13:38.040 --> 00:13:39.300
 was fed

00:13:39.300 --> 00:13:40.280
 intermittently,

00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:40.660
 right,

00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:41.920
 by an intermittent

00:13:41.920 --> 00:13:42.520
 spring,

00:13:42.660 --> 00:13:43.200
 so some water

00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:43.740
 would have come

00:13:43.740 --> 00:13:44.640
 and rushed

00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:45.580
 into it.

00:13:45.620 --> 00:13:45.919
 There's some

00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:46.879
 old documents

00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:47.960
 that talk about

00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:49.559
 iron stains

00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:50.360
 within the pool,

00:13:50.460 --> 00:13:51.000
 so maybe it was

00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:52.299
 a mineral-rich pool,

00:13:52.500 --> 00:13:53.199
 and perhaps

00:13:53.199 --> 00:13:54.840
 some superstition

00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:55.960
 had surrounded

00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:56.720
 it.

00:13:57.620 --> 00:13:58.360
 But regardless,

00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:00.259
 John doesn't

00:14:00.259 --> 00:14:01.120
 work out the details

00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:01.899
 because they are

00:14:01.899 --> 00:14:02.919
 not the point

00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:04.179
 of what he's

00:14:04.179 --> 00:14:05.059
 saying.

00:14:05.460 --> 00:14:05.939
 There are

00:14:05.939 --> 00:14:07.080
 sufferers there,

00:14:07.259 --> 00:14:07.600
 clearly,

00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:08.659
 sufferers there,

00:14:08.939 --> 00:14:09.480
 and they're

00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:11.360
 looking for

00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:12.500
 relief

00:14:12.500 --> 00:14:13.740
 from their

00:14:13.740 --> 00:14:14.100
 suffering.

00:14:15.620 --> 00:14:15.779
 So,

00:14:16.059 --> 00:14:17.199
 now that we

00:14:17.199 --> 00:14:18.360
 have that

00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:19.379
 settling into

00:14:19.379 --> 00:14:20.100
 our minds,

00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:20.439
 I kind of

00:14:20.439 --> 00:14:20.919
 wonder how many

00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:21.240
 of you wouldn't

00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:21.500
 have even

00:14:21.500 --> 00:14:21.899
 noticed that

00:14:21.899 --> 00:14:22.340
 there wasn't

00:14:22.340 --> 00:14:22.740
 a verse

00:14:22.740 --> 00:14:23.799
 before.

00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:25.419
 An outline

00:14:25.419 --> 00:14:25.860
 for the rest

00:14:25.860 --> 00:14:26.419
 of our time

00:14:26.419 --> 00:14:27.059
 together.

00:14:27.899 --> 00:14:29.100
 We get to

00:14:29.100 --> 00:14:30.860
 gaze at

00:14:30.860 --> 00:14:31.500
 Jesus

00:14:31.500 --> 00:14:32.379
 in these

00:14:32.379 --> 00:14:33.059
 coming moments.

00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:33.919
 We get to

00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:34.980
 look at

00:14:34.980 --> 00:14:35.580
 the risen

00:14:35.580 --> 00:14:36.840
 Christ

00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:37.639
 before his

00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:38.340
 death

00:14:38.340 --> 00:14:39.500
 and following

00:14:39.500 --> 00:14:39.980
 resurrection.

00:14:39.980 --> 00:14:40.060
 resurrection.

00:14:41.259 --> 00:14:41.820
 In these

00:14:41.820 --> 00:14:43.519
 17 verses,

00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:45.220
 it's 1-18,

00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:45.659
 but there's

00:14:45.659 --> 00:14:46.480
 17 verses,

00:14:47.340 --> 00:14:47.820
 remember,

00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:50.879
 John is

00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:51.379
 trying to

00:14:51.379 --> 00:14:51.879
 help us

00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:52.639
 behold

00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:53.539
 Jesus

00:14:53.539 --> 00:14:54.320
 as the

00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:54.779
 Christ,

00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:55.259
 that we

00:14:55.259 --> 00:14:55.500
 would

00:14:55.500 --> 00:14:57.460
 believe in

00:14:57.460 --> 00:14:58.139
 him.

00:14:58.960 --> 00:14:59.159
 So,

00:14:59.220 --> 00:14:59.500
 first,

00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:00.080
 point number

00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:00.360
 one,

00:15:00.539 --> 00:15:00.800
 we're going

00:15:00.800 --> 00:15:01.000
 to see

00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:01.379
 Jesus as

00:15:01.379 --> 00:15:01.580
 the

00:15:01.580 --> 00:15:01.940
 sympathetic

00:15:01.940 --> 00:15:02.620
 healer,

00:15:02.620 --> 00:15:04.679
 and secondly

00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:05.879
 as the

00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:06.320
 rejected

00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:07.519
 Messiah.

00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:08.639
 So,

00:15:08.740 --> 00:15:09.080
 first,

00:15:09.820 --> 00:15:10.080
 the

00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:10.620
 sympathetic

00:15:10.620 --> 00:15:12.379
 healer.

00:15:13.220 --> 00:15:13.659
 A few

00:15:13.659 --> 00:15:14.200
 things I

00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:14.500
 think that

00:15:14.500 --> 00:15:14.899
 are important

00:15:14.899 --> 00:15:15.340
 for us to

00:15:15.340 --> 00:15:15.940
 notice,

00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:17.820
 verses 6

00:15:17.820 --> 00:15:18.580
 down and

00:15:18.580 --> 00:15:18.860
 through

00:15:18.860 --> 00:15:20.560
 verse 9.

00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:22.039
 Jesus is

00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:22.940
 omniscient,

00:15:23.980 --> 00:15:24.259
 which means

00:15:24.259 --> 00:15:24.799
 he knows

00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:25.419
 everything.

00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:27.480
 Jesus is

00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:28.560
 compassionate

00:15:28.560 --> 00:15:30.440
 and Jesus

00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:30.899
 is

00:15:30.899 --> 00:15:32.460
 omnipotent.

00:15:32.620 --> 00:15:33.060
 his

00:15:33.060 --> 00:15:33.740
 sovereign

00:15:33.740 --> 00:15:34.580
 power.

00:15:36.379 --> 00:15:36.580
 So,

00:15:36.659 --> 00:15:36.960
 one at a

00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:37.200
 time.

00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:37.659
 First,

00:15:38.139 --> 00:15:39.039
 Jesus is

00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:40.360
 omniscient.

00:15:41.340 --> 00:15:41.799
 Notice in

00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:42.399
 verse 6,

00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:43.759
 Jesus

00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:44.980
 sees this

00:15:44.980 --> 00:15:45.220
 man,

00:15:45.299 --> 00:15:46.060
 Jesus saw

00:15:46.060 --> 00:15:46.480
 him

00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:47.860
 lying there

00:15:47.860 --> 00:15:49.080
 and knew

00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:49.600
 that he

00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:50.100
 had already

00:15:50.100 --> 00:15:50.820
 been there

00:15:50.820 --> 00:15:51.919
 a long

00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:53.159
 time.

00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:54.700
 Jesus

00:15:54.700 --> 00:15:55.679
 already knew

00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:56.600
 all the

00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:57.299
 details of

00:15:57.299 --> 00:15:58.279
 this man's

00:15:58.279 --> 00:15:58.620
 life.

00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:00.039
 I don't

00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:00.320
 think we

00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:00.940
 should assume

00:16:00.940 --> 00:16:01.320
 that Jesus

00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:01.840
 knew this

00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:02.259
 by

00:16:02.259 --> 00:16:02.879
 the

00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:03.259
 appearance

00:16:03.259 --> 00:16:03.620
 of the

00:16:03.620 --> 00:16:03.939
 man.

00:16:04.259 --> 00:16:04.460
 There was

00:16:04.460 --> 00:16:04.860
 some way

00:16:04.860 --> 00:16:05.240
 that he

00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:05.919
 gathered

00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:06.159
 some

00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:06.759
 context

00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:07.159
 clues

00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:07.539
 and knew

00:16:07.539 --> 00:16:07.779
 that he

00:16:07.779 --> 00:16:08.039
 had been

00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:08.319
 there

00:16:08.319 --> 00:16:09.080
 a long

00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:09.419
 time.

00:16:09.539 --> 00:16:09.620
 But

00:16:09.620 --> 00:16:10.639
 John

00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:11.120
 has a

00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:11.539
 fully

00:16:11.539 --> 00:16:12.000
 formed

00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:12.639
 understanding

00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:13.559
 of exactly

00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:14.059
 who

00:16:14.059 --> 00:16:14.559
 Jesus

00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:15.460
 is.

00:16:17.059 --> 00:16:17.580
 Embodied

00:16:17.580 --> 00:16:18.100
 deity.

00:16:18.220 --> 00:16:18.740
 He knows

00:16:18.740 --> 00:16:19.080
 who he

00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:19.519
 is and

00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:20.100
 therefore

00:16:20.100 --> 00:16:21.000
 exactly

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:21.360
 what he's

00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:21.679
 capable

00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:22.080
 of.

00:16:22.340 --> 00:16:22.620
 He

00:16:22.620 --> 00:16:22.939
 means

00:16:22.939 --> 00:16:23.220
 for us

00:16:23.220 --> 00:16:23.539
 to see

00:16:23.539 --> 00:16:24.159
 a word

00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:24.659
 like

00:16:24.659 --> 00:16:25.519
 new

00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:26.399
 and all

00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:26.819
 of that

00:16:26.820 --> 00:16:27.300
 comes

00:16:27.300 --> 00:16:28.040
 to life

00:16:28.040 --> 00:16:28.420
 in our

00:16:28.420 --> 00:16:28.820
 minds.

00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:30.600
 It would

00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:31.379
 be easy

00:16:31.379 --> 00:16:31.840
 at this

00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:32.200
 point

00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:34.100
 to rush

00:16:34.100 --> 00:16:34.400
 on,

00:16:34.540 --> 00:16:35.480
 to give

00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:36.100
 brief

00:16:36.100 --> 00:16:36.960
 acknowledgement

00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:37.340
 to the

00:16:37.340 --> 00:16:37.840
 fact that

00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:38.220
 Jesus

00:16:38.220 --> 00:16:39.480
 is

00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:40.560
 God

00:16:40.560 --> 00:16:41.180
 and just

00:16:41.180 --> 00:16:42.280
 move on

00:16:42.280 --> 00:16:42.879
 past it.

00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:43.660
 Of course

00:16:43.660 --> 00:16:44.020
 he knew

00:16:44.020 --> 00:16:44.840
 because he's

00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:45.580
 God.

00:16:46.680 --> 00:16:47.000
 But we

00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:47.320
 will do

00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:47.820
 well to

00:16:47.820 --> 00:16:48.440
 slow down

00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:48.800
 for a

00:16:48.800 --> 00:16:49.340
 moment and

00:16:49.340 --> 00:16:49.940
 consider

00:16:49.940 --> 00:16:50.900
 the fact

00:16:50.900 --> 00:16:51.740
 that Jesus

00:16:51.740 --> 00:16:53.180
 knew.

00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:54.940
 Just to

00:16:54.940 --> 00:16:55.300
 let it

00:16:55.300 --> 00:16:56.080
 settle

00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:56.940
 into our

00:16:56.940 --> 00:16:57.300
 hearts.

00:16:58.780 --> 00:16:59.080
 Jesus

00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:00.700
 knows

00:17:00.700 --> 00:17:02.020
 you.

00:17:02.740 --> 00:17:03.460
 Singular

00:17:03.460 --> 00:17:04.240
 man amongst

00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:05.019
 a multitude

00:17:05.019 --> 00:17:05.880
 of people.

00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:06.799
 Jesus

00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:07.920
 knows that

00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:08.519
 this man

00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:09.360
 has suffered

00:17:09.360 --> 00:17:10.220
 long.

00:17:10.360 --> 00:17:10.820
 He's been

00:17:10.820 --> 00:17:11.380
 there looking

00:17:11.380 --> 00:17:12.880
 for relief,

00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:13.480
 the text tells

00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:13.700
 it, for

00:17:13.700 --> 00:17:15.620
 38 years.

00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:16.039
 In the

00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:17.080
 same way,

00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:17.580
 Jesus

00:17:17.580 --> 00:17:19.039
 knows

00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:20.079
 you.

00:17:21.220 --> 00:17:21.579
 He

00:17:21.579 --> 00:17:22.200
 understands

00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:23.740
 you far

00:17:23.740 --> 00:17:24.819
 better than

00:17:24.819 --> 00:17:25.480
 you understand

00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:26.159
 yourself.

00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:27.680
 I think I

00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:28.399
 understand myself

00:17:28.399 --> 00:17:28.799
 better than

00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:29.159
 anybody.

00:17:30.159 --> 00:17:30.359
 Jesus

00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:30.960
 knows me

00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:31.659
 way better

00:17:31.659 --> 00:17:32.240
 than I

00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:33.000
 know myself.

00:17:33.180 --> 00:17:33.759
 All of

00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:34.539
 the complications

00:17:34.539 --> 00:17:35.539
 and all of

00:17:35.539 --> 00:17:36.399
 the intricacies

00:17:36.399 --> 00:17:37.759
 of my

00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:38.099
 heart.

00:17:39.500 --> 00:17:40.159
 There is

00:17:40.159 --> 00:17:41.220
 no sin

00:17:41.220 --> 00:17:41.619
 committed

00:17:41.619 --> 00:17:42.319
 that he is

00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:43.700
 not aware

00:17:43.700 --> 00:17:43.980
 of.

00:17:44.500 --> 00:17:45.019
 There is

00:17:45.019 --> 00:17:46.139
 no mingling

00:17:46.139 --> 00:17:46.899
 of intention

00:17:46.899 --> 00:17:47.440
 that he is

00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:48.119
 not able

00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:48.759
 to sort

00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:49.900
 out.

00:17:50.859 --> 00:17:51.379
 There is

00:17:51.379 --> 00:17:52.240
 no complexity

00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:53.119
 of emotion

00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:53.759
 that he

00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:54.579
 can't

00:17:54.579 --> 00:17:56.079
 unravel.

00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:57.539
 Jesus

00:17:57.539 --> 00:17:58.420
 knows you.

00:17:59.700 --> 00:18:00.500
 He knows

00:18:00.500 --> 00:18:00.960
 you and

00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:01.700
 it is the

00:18:01.700 --> 00:18:02.980
 unsurpassed

00:18:02.980 --> 00:18:03.700
 privilege of

00:18:03.700 --> 00:18:04.240
 the Christian

00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:05.839
 to know

00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:06.180
 him.

00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:07.759
 Incredible

00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:08.259
 thing.

00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:08.720
 An

00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:09.559
 omniscient

00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:10.640
 Jesus.

00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:11.599
 Knows

00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:12.180
 everything

00:18:12.180 --> 00:18:13.379
 at all

00:18:13.379 --> 00:18:14.519
 times.

00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:14.900
 He knew

00:18:14.900 --> 00:18:15.460
 this man

00:18:15.460 --> 00:18:16.460
 compassion.

00:18:16.460 --> 00:18:16.840
 And he

00:18:16.840 --> 00:18:18.360
 knows you.

00:18:19.299 --> 00:18:20.019
 And because

00:18:20.019 --> 00:18:20.920
 of his

00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:21.779
 knowledge of

00:18:21.779 --> 00:18:22.680
 this man,

00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:23.220
 he is

00:18:23.220 --> 00:18:25.019
 moved to

00:18:25.019 --> 00:18:25.600
 compassion

00:18:25.600 --> 00:18:27.120
 for him.

00:18:27.620 --> 00:18:28.059
 He asks

00:18:28.059 --> 00:18:28.299
 him a

00:18:28.299 --> 00:18:28.700
 question.

00:18:28.819 --> 00:18:29.299
 A question

00:18:29.299 --> 00:18:29.860
 he already

00:18:29.860 --> 00:18:30.340
 knows the

00:18:30.340 --> 00:18:31.039
 answer to.

00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:32.940
 Do you

00:18:32.940 --> 00:18:34.799
 want to

00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:35.299
 be healed?

00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:36.640
 He sets

00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:37.279
 the stage

00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:37.720
 for a

00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:38.539
 response.

00:18:38.539 --> 00:18:39.079
 A response

00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:40.019
 here in

00:18:40.019 --> 00:18:41.279
 just a

00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:41.559
 moment.

00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:42.819
 He sets

00:18:42.819 --> 00:18:43.539
 the stage

00:18:43.539 --> 00:18:44.179
 up for

00:18:44.179 --> 00:18:44.480
 him.

00:18:44.740 --> 00:18:45.099
 A

00:18:45.099 --> 00:18:45.839
 compassionate

00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:47.839
 offer of

00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:49.119
 healing to

00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:49.480
 the man.

00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:51.119
 The author

00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:51.480
 of Hebrews

00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:51.859
 says in

00:18:51.859 --> 00:18:52.059
 Hebrews

00:18:52.059 --> 00:18:52.599
 chapter 4

00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:53.619
 verse 15,

00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:54.539
 we do

00:18:54.539 --> 00:18:55.079
 not have

00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:55.539
 a high

00:18:55.539 --> 00:18:56.759
 priest who

00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:57.700
 is unable

00:18:57.700 --> 00:18:59.119
 to sympathize

00:18:59.119 --> 00:18:59.779
 with our

00:18:59.779 --> 00:19:00.779
 weaknesses.

00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:02.119
 The difference

00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:02.899
 between sympathy

00:19:02.899 --> 00:19:03.519
 and empathy.

00:19:03.639 --> 00:19:04.059
 I hear this

00:19:04.059 --> 00:19:04.539
 taught wrong

00:19:04.539 --> 00:19:05.259
 all the time.

00:19:05.339 --> 00:19:05.700
 So here I

00:19:05.700 --> 00:19:05.839
 am.

00:19:05.879 --> 00:19:06.079
 I'm going to

00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:06.319
 set the

00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:06.859
 record straight.

00:19:07.159 --> 00:19:07.619
 If somebody

00:19:07.619 --> 00:19:08.500
 sympathizes

00:19:08.500 --> 00:19:08.859
 with you,

00:19:08.899 --> 00:19:09.220
 it's because

00:19:09.220 --> 00:19:09.539
 they have

00:19:09.539 --> 00:19:10.399
 experienced

00:19:10.399 --> 00:19:11.019
 the thing

00:19:11.019 --> 00:19:11.399
 that you've

00:19:11.399 --> 00:19:12.059
 experienced.

00:19:12.819 --> 00:19:13.319
 If they

00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:14.119
 empathize

00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:14.599
 with you,

00:19:14.919 --> 00:19:15.240
 you're

00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:16.240
 imagining,

00:19:16.379 --> 00:19:16.819
 you're trying

00:19:16.819 --> 00:19:17.200
 to put

00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:17.859
 yourself in

00:19:17.859 --> 00:19:18.720
 that person's

00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:19.319
 shoes.

00:19:20.539 --> 00:19:21.259
 Often as a

00:19:21.259 --> 00:19:21.859
 pastor, I

00:19:21.859 --> 00:19:22.279
 have to

00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:22.960
 empathize

00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:23.759
 with people.

00:19:23.899 --> 00:19:24.179
 I haven't

00:19:24.179 --> 00:19:24.619
 experienced

00:19:24.619 --> 00:19:25.139
 everything that

00:19:25.139 --> 00:19:25.539
 you guys have

00:19:25.539 --> 00:19:26.039
 experienced.

00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:26.839
 When you go

00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:27.399
 through particular

00:19:27.399 --> 00:19:28.079
 trials or

00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:29.339
 hurts, I

00:19:29.339 --> 00:19:30.279
 empathize.

00:19:30.379 --> 00:19:30.919
 I think, oh,

00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:32.220
 that must be

00:19:32.220 --> 00:19:32.919
 hard.

00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:33.220
 I have to

00:19:33.220 --> 00:19:33.819
 imagine what

00:19:33.819 --> 00:19:34.259
 it would be

00:19:34.259 --> 00:19:35.099
 like to

00:19:35.099 --> 00:19:35.519
 live in that

00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:36.039
 circumstance

00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:37.200
 and take you

00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:37.819
 to the text

00:19:37.819 --> 00:19:38.220
 with me to

00:19:38.220 --> 00:19:39.319
 show you what

00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:40.159
 it might say.

00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:41.639
 That's different

00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:42.920
 than sympathy.

00:19:43.360 --> 00:19:43.800
 It's different.

00:19:44.420 --> 00:19:44.920
 Me too.

00:19:45.040 --> 00:19:45.860
 I've also

00:19:45.860 --> 00:19:46.800
 experienced the

00:19:46.800 --> 00:19:47.740
 very same

00:19:47.740 --> 00:19:48.820
 thing.

00:19:50.300 --> 00:19:50.800
 Jesus is

00:19:50.800 --> 00:19:51.360
 able to

00:19:51.360 --> 00:19:52.640
 sympathize

00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:53.759
 with our

00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:54.220
 weaknesses.

00:19:55.080 --> 00:19:55.660
 He is one

00:19:55.660 --> 00:19:56.320
 who is in

00:19:56.320 --> 00:19:57.380
 every respect

00:19:57.380 --> 00:19:59.320
 tempted as

00:19:59.320 --> 00:20:00.800
 we are

00:20:00.800 --> 00:20:01.840
 trialed.

00:20:02.060 --> 00:20:02.420
 That word

00:20:02.420 --> 00:20:03.060
 can also

00:20:03.060 --> 00:20:04.759
 mean difficult

00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:05.860
 circumstance

00:20:05.860 --> 00:20:07.160
 laid upon us.

00:20:07.740 --> 00:20:08.240
 And then the

00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:08.520
 author of

00:20:08.520 --> 00:20:09.020
 Hebrews says,

00:20:09.019 --> 00:20:10.200
 yet without

00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:11.660
 sin.

00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:12.960
 Jesus

00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:14.299
 understands

00:20:14.299 --> 00:20:15.299
 this man's

00:20:15.299 --> 00:20:16.599
 suffering and

00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:17.799
 he understands

00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:19.099
 ours.

00:20:19.619 --> 00:20:20.460
 He's omniscient

00:20:20.460 --> 00:20:22.200
 and he is

00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:23.980
 compassionate.

00:20:25.859 --> 00:20:26.460
 So,

00:20:26.660 --> 00:20:28.000
 the man responds

00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:29.379
 to him and

00:20:29.379 --> 00:20:29.960
 we've seen this

00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:30.519
 pattern of

00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:31.099
 misunderstanding.

00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:32.059
 Jesus says

00:20:32.059 --> 00:20:32.460
 things to

00:20:32.460 --> 00:20:32.779
 people.

00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:34.180
 The response

00:20:34.180 --> 00:20:34.639
 you would hope

00:20:34.639 --> 00:20:35.019
 of the man

00:20:35.019 --> 00:20:35.359
 would be,

00:20:35.539 --> 00:20:36.700
 yes, I do

00:20:36.700 --> 00:20:37.079
 want to be

00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:37.259
 healed.

00:20:37.259 --> 00:20:38.400
 That's why

00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:39.000
 I'm here.

00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:39.319
 But he

00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:39.980
 addresses him,

00:20:40.180 --> 00:20:41.140
 sir, not

00:20:41.140 --> 00:20:41.519
 rabbi.

00:20:41.579 --> 00:20:41.960
 He doesn't

00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:42.599
 know who

00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:43.539
 Jesus is.

00:20:43.819 --> 00:20:44.319
 It's a simple

00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:44.779
 question.

00:20:44.859 --> 00:20:45.319
 Do you want

00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:46.319
 to be healed?

00:20:46.779 --> 00:20:47.099
 And his

00:20:47.099 --> 00:20:47.920
 response is,

00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:49.039
 I have no

00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:49.400
 one to put

00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:49.799
 me into the

00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:50.279
 pool when

00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:50.680
 the water

00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:51.559
 is stirred

00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:51.839
 up.

00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:52.559
 No one to

00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:52.940
 help me.

00:20:53.019 --> 00:20:53.359
 No one to

00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:54.119
 scoop me up

00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:54.779
 and put me

00:20:54.779 --> 00:20:55.079
 in there.

00:20:55.339 --> 00:20:55.680
 And so while

00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:56.160
 he's making

00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:56.740
 the effort

00:20:56.740 --> 00:20:57.440
 on his

00:20:57.440 --> 00:20:57.960
 own,

00:20:58.200 --> 00:20:58.460
 he says,

00:20:58.559 --> 00:20:59.099
 while I am

00:20:59.099 --> 00:20:59.500
 going,

00:20:59.940 --> 00:21:01.039
 another steps

00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:02.759
 down before

00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:03.099
 me.

00:21:03.700 --> 00:21:04.039
 That's where

00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:04.619
 we get this,

00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:05.000
 I think,

00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:06.200
 marginal explanation.

00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:06.799
 What's going

00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:07.779
 on there

00:21:07.779 --> 00:21:08.819
 in that

00:21:08.819 --> 00:21:09.299
 case?

00:21:09.740 --> 00:21:09.900
 Right?

00:21:10.340 --> 00:21:11.180
 I want to be

00:21:11.180 --> 00:21:11.480
 healed.

00:21:11.600 --> 00:21:12.019
 I'm looking

00:21:12.019 --> 00:21:12.920
 to the pool

00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:13.620
 in order to

00:21:13.620 --> 00:21:14.240
 be healed,

00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:15.240
 but I don't

00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:15.779
 move quick

00:21:15.779 --> 00:21:16.120
 enough,

00:21:16.220 --> 00:21:16.779
 and so I

00:21:16.779 --> 00:21:18.759
 cannot be

00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:19.860
 healed.

00:21:20.860 --> 00:21:21.360
 And Jesus

00:21:21.360 --> 00:21:22.140
 simply responds

00:21:22.140 --> 00:21:22.519
 to him.

00:21:23.019 --> 00:21:23.019


00:21:23.019 --> 00:21:23.840
 There's no

00:21:23.840 --> 00:21:24.779
 expression of

00:21:24.779 --> 00:21:25.580
 faith on this

00:21:25.580 --> 00:21:26.220
 man's part

00:21:26.220 --> 00:21:26.819
 at all.

00:21:27.180 --> 00:21:27.180


00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:28.059
 In other

00:21:28.059 --> 00:21:28.500
 places,

00:21:28.840 --> 00:21:29.680
 you see

00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:30.440
 expressed

00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:31.519
 faith.

00:21:31.840 --> 00:21:31.920
 Right?

00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:32.600
 Prior,

00:21:32.740 --> 00:21:33.120
 we saw

00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:34.099
 an official

00:21:34.099 --> 00:21:35.439
 pleading

00:21:35.439 --> 00:21:36.219
 for his

00:21:36.219 --> 00:21:37.139
 son.

00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:37.619
 He knows

00:21:37.619 --> 00:21:38.000
 who Jesus

00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:38.279
 is.

00:21:38.339 --> 00:21:38.679
 He knows

00:21:38.679 --> 00:21:39.059
 Jesus is

00:21:39.059 --> 00:21:39.419
 performing

00:21:39.419 --> 00:21:39.919
 miracles,

00:21:40.159 --> 00:21:40.519
 and he

00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:40.919
 goes to

00:21:40.919 --> 00:21:41.019
 him,

00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:41.259
 and he

00:21:41.259 --> 00:21:41.779
 pleads,

00:21:41.939 --> 00:21:42.379
 and Jesus

00:21:42.379 --> 00:21:42.739
 heals

00:21:42.739 --> 00:21:43.759
 his son

00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:44.359
 of his

00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:44.779
 illness.

00:21:45.259 --> 00:21:45.599
 Here we

00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:46.179
 see none

00:21:46.179 --> 00:21:46.599
 of that.

00:21:47.479 --> 00:21:48.339
 A man

00:21:48.339 --> 00:21:48.619
 in a

00:21:48.619 --> 00:21:49.039
 crowd,

00:21:49.139 --> 00:21:49.579
 a man

00:21:49.579 --> 00:21:50.059
 amongst

00:21:50.059 --> 00:21:50.939
 many

00:21:50.939 --> 00:21:51.639
 who were

00:21:51.639 --> 00:21:52.539
 there for

00:21:52.539 --> 00:21:53.659
 relief.

00:21:55.459 --> 00:21:56.059
 The man

00:21:56.059 --> 00:21:56.219
 says,

00:21:56.299 --> 00:21:56.599
 I want to

00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:56.839
 be healed,

00:21:56.899 --> 00:21:57.079
 but I

00:21:57.079 --> 00:21:57.419
 can't be

00:21:57.419 --> 00:21:57.579
 healed,

00:21:57.639 --> 00:21:57.959
 I can't

00:21:57.959 --> 00:21:58.379
 move quick

00:21:58.379 --> 00:21:58.679
 enough,

00:21:58.739 --> 00:21:59.199
 and Jesus

00:21:59.199 --> 00:21:59.939
 simply says

00:21:59.939 --> 00:22:00.299
 to him,

00:22:00.439 --> 00:22:00.859
 get up,

00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:02.000
 take up

00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:02.579
 your bed,

00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:04.940
 and walk.

00:22:06.140 --> 00:22:06.680
 And John

00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:07.099
 is careful

00:22:07.099 --> 00:22:07.400
 here.

00:22:08.220 --> 00:22:08.799
 It's not

00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:09.140
 because the

00:22:09.140 --> 00:22:09.519
 man makes

00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:10.339
 some effort

00:22:10.339 --> 00:22:10.920
 to get up

00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:11.500
 and walk

00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:11.940
 that he's

00:22:11.940 --> 00:22:12.299
 healed.

00:22:12.940 --> 00:22:13.579
 Verse 9

00:22:13.579 --> 00:22:13.839
 says,

00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:14.660
 and at

00:22:14.660 --> 00:22:16.339
 once the

00:22:16.339 --> 00:22:17.880
 man was

00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:18.200
 healed.

00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:19.400
 This

00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:20.099
 compassionate

00:22:20.099 --> 00:22:20.680
 Christ,

00:22:21.539 --> 00:22:21.819
 this

00:22:21.819 --> 00:22:23.039
 omnipotent

00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:23.519
 Christ,

00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:23.819
 that was

00:22:23.819 --> 00:22:24.440
 that last

00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:25.380
 observation.

00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:26.039
 Right?

00:22:26.539 --> 00:22:27.460
 Jesus is

00:22:27.460 --> 00:22:29.099
 omnipotent.

00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:29.599
 Right?

00:22:30.299 --> 00:22:30.740
 He can

00:22:30.740 --> 00:22:32.099
 do whatever

00:22:32.099 --> 00:22:32.839
 he desires

00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:33.259
 to do

00:22:33.259 --> 00:22:33.660
 by the

00:22:33.660 --> 00:22:34.420
 word of

00:22:34.420 --> 00:22:34.960
 his

00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:36.279
 power.

00:22:36.779 --> 00:22:37.299
 At

00:22:37.299 --> 00:22:37.940
 once,

00:22:38.620 --> 00:22:39.120
 the man

00:22:39.120 --> 00:22:40.059
 was

00:22:40.059 --> 00:22:41.299
 healed.

00:22:42.579 --> 00:22:43.319
 In other

00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:43.740
 accounts,

00:22:43.859 --> 00:22:44.680
 people marvel

00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:45.259
 at the

00:22:45.259 --> 00:22:46.120
 healing of

00:22:46.120 --> 00:22:46.759
 lame people,

00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:47.140
 and he

00:22:47.140 --> 00:22:48.400
 does one

00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:48.920
 even

00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:49.579
 better.

00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:51.160
 He forgives

00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:51.900
 their sin.

00:22:52.539 --> 00:22:52.900
 He just

00:22:52.900 --> 00:22:53.539
 declares

00:22:53.539 --> 00:22:54.599
 it so.

00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:55.720
 He commands

00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:56.400
 the waves

00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:56.839
 and the

00:22:56.839 --> 00:22:57.220
 wind.

00:22:57.819 --> 00:22:58.480
 Jesus is

00:22:58.480 --> 00:22:59.740
 omnipotent,

00:22:59.740 --> 00:23:00.039
 and he

00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:01.160
 expresses that

00:23:01.160 --> 00:23:01.539
 here.

00:23:01.640 --> 00:23:01.920
 And we're

00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:02.500
 meant to

00:23:02.500 --> 00:23:02.859
 look at

00:23:02.859 --> 00:23:03.200
 this.

00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:04.460
 This man

00:23:04.460 --> 00:23:05.380
 is healed.

00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:05.620
 We're

00:23:05.620 --> 00:23:05.900
 meant to

00:23:05.900 --> 00:23:06.359
 see it

00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:06.700
 and go,

00:23:06.900 --> 00:23:07.920
 this is

00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:09.140
 the Christ.

00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:10.620
 And the

00:23:10.620 --> 00:23:11.000
 point is

00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:11.380
 not our

00:23:11.380 --> 00:23:11.680
 physical

00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:12.059
 healing.

00:23:12.380 --> 00:23:12.660
 That is

00:23:12.660 --> 00:23:13.339
 not the

00:23:13.339 --> 00:23:14.160
 thing that

00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:15.140
 Jesus came

00:23:15.140 --> 00:23:15.599
 to do.

00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:16.180
 He came

00:23:16.180 --> 00:23:16.880
 to preach

00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:17.440
 the gospel,

00:23:17.980 --> 00:23:18.700
 to live

00:23:18.700 --> 00:23:19.279
 the life

00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:20.000
 that we're

00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:20.779
 required to,

00:23:20.980 --> 00:23:21.460
 to die

00:23:21.460 --> 00:23:21.960
 the death

00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:22.640
 that we

00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:23.099
 deserve

00:23:23.099 --> 00:23:23.680
 because of

00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:24.339
 our failure

00:23:24.339 --> 00:23:25.120
 to do so,

00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:25.920
 to be

00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:26.440
 raised on

00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:26.759
 the third

00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:27.120
 day,

00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:27.620
 to be

00:23:27.620 --> 00:23:28.019
 seated at

00:23:28.019 --> 00:23:28.339
 the right

00:23:28.339 --> 00:23:28.839
 hand of

00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:29.299
 the Father,

00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:30.159
 to call

00:23:30.159 --> 00:23:30.759
 together the

00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:31.759
 church for

00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:32.220
 the glory

00:23:32.220 --> 00:23:33.339
 of God.

00:23:34.379 --> 00:23:35.259
 Luke 19,

00:23:35.399 --> 00:23:35.699
 10,

00:23:36.500 --> 00:23:37.019
 Jesus says

00:23:37.019 --> 00:23:37.699
 of himself,

00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:38.359
 the Son

00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:38.740
 of Man

00:23:38.740 --> 00:23:39.939
 came to

00:23:39.939 --> 00:23:41.139
 seek and

00:23:41.139 --> 00:23:41.959
 to save

00:23:41.959 --> 00:23:43.539
 the lost.

00:23:44.059 --> 00:23:44.699
 Observing

00:23:44.699 --> 00:23:45.879
 this miracle,

00:23:46.099 --> 00:23:47.579
 this sympathetic

00:23:47.579 --> 00:23:48.559
 healer,

00:23:48.619 --> 00:23:48.980
 is meant to

00:23:48.980 --> 00:23:49.899
 drive us to

00:23:49.899 --> 00:23:50.359
 think about

00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:51.159
 him as

00:23:51.159 --> 00:23:52.119
 the great

00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:52.779
 healer of

00:23:52.779 --> 00:23:53.919
 the greatest

00:23:53.919 --> 00:23:54.699
 ailment that

00:23:54.699 --> 00:23:55.379
 any of us

00:23:55.379 --> 00:23:56.099
 could ever

00:23:56.099 --> 00:23:56.939
 have.

00:23:56.940 --> 00:23:57.860
 the sickness,

00:23:58.039 --> 00:23:58.680
 the death

00:23:58.680 --> 00:23:59.420
 that our

00:23:59.420 --> 00:24:00.680
 sin brings.

00:24:02.600 --> 00:24:03.080
 Now,

00:24:03.140 --> 00:24:03.720
 if Jesus

00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:04.460
 is omniscient

00:24:04.460 --> 00:24:05.160
 and compassionate

00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:06.039
 and omnipotent,

00:24:06.080 --> 00:24:06.640
 if he is

00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:07.920
 the sympathetic

00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:09.460
 healer,

00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:11.500
 then why

00:24:11.500 --> 00:24:11.860
 not heal

00:24:11.860 --> 00:24:12.299
 everyone at

00:24:12.299 --> 00:24:12.600
 the pool?

00:24:14.980 --> 00:24:15.380
 Why not

00:24:15.380 --> 00:24:16.180
 just take care

00:24:16.180 --> 00:24:16.720
 of everybody

00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:17.019
 there?

00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:17.860
 Gather around

00:24:17.860 --> 00:24:18.519
 everybody?

00:24:19.420 --> 00:24:19.880
 He could

00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:20.220
 have just

00:24:20.220 --> 00:24:21.000
 said it.

00:24:21.100 --> 00:24:21.320
 They could

00:24:21.320 --> 00:24:21.920
 have all

00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:22.500
 gotten up

00:24:22.500 --> 00:24:23.779
 and moved.

00:24:25.380 --> 00:24:25.960
 But here

00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:26.220
 again,

00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:28.039
 our study

00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:28.619
 can be

00:24:28.619 --> 00:24:29.200
 helped

00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:30.240
 by the

00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:30.599
 literary

00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:31.160
 structure

00:24:31.160 --> 00:24:32.140
 of John's

00:24:32.140 --> 00:24:33.119
 gospel.

00:24:33.980 --> 00:24:34.500
 I hope

00:24:34.500 --> 00:24:34.700
 you don't

00:24:34.700 --> 00:24:35.019
 get tired

00:24:35.019 --> 00:24:35.299
 of hearing

00:24:35.299 --> 00:24:35.759
 about this.

00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:36.039
 We're going

00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:36.279
 to do it

00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:36.680
 the entire

00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:37.019
 time we're

00:24:37.019 --> 00:24:37.240
 in this

00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:37.519
 book.

00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:40.000
 The 17

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:40.299
 verses

00:24:40.299 --> 00:24:41.019
 before us

00:24:41.019 --> 00:24:41.819
 are,

00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:43.140
 you guessed

00:24:43.140 --> 00:24:43.579
 it if you've

00:24:43.579 --> 00:24:44.140
 been around,

00:24:45.099 --> 00:24:46.079
 a chiasm.

00:24:47.140 --> 00:24:47.980
 They're all

00:24:47.980 --> 00:24:48.279
 over.

00:24:49.180 --> 00:24:50.059
 I will be

00:24:50.059 --> 00:24:50.680
 structuring our

00:24:50.680 --> 00:24:51.359
 study of this

00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:52.559
 following this

00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:53.879
 structure all

00:24:53.879 --> 00:24:54.459
 throughout it.

00:24:54.959 --> 00:24:55.819
 Not because I

00:24:55.819 --> 00:24:56.240
 think it's just

00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:56.979
 fun to do,

00:24:57.119 --> 00:24:57.359
 but it's

00:24:57.359 --> 00:24:57.759
 because of what

00:24:57.759 --> 00:24:58.859
 John intended

00:24:58.859 --> 00:25:00.299
 for us to

00:25:00.299 --> 00:25:00.699
 see.

00:25:00.959 --> 00:25:01.299
 We don't

00:25:01.299 --> 00:25:01.959
 think in

00:25:01.959 --> 00:25:03.259
 these terms.

00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:04.079
 If you're

00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:04.679
 unfamiliar with

00:25:04.679 --> 00:25:04.839
 what I'm

00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:05.439
 talking about,

00:25:06.439 --> 00:25:07.079
 chiasm comes

00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:07.579
 from the

00:25:07.579 --> 00:25:08.059
 Greek letter

00:25:08.059 --> 00:25:08.599
 X.

00:25:09.379 --> 00:25:09.619
 So the

00:25:09.619 --> 00:25:10.619
 idea here is

00:25:10.619 --> 00:25:11.639
 that ideas,

00:25:12.059 --> 00:25:12.459
 words,

00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:13.539
 phrases at

00:25:13.539 --> 00:25:14.139
 the beginning

00:25:14.139 --> 00:25:14.899
 of the text

00:25:14.899 --> 00:25:16.399
 correspond with

00:25:16.399 --> 00:25:16.959
 words,

00:25:17.099 --> 00:25:17.359
 phrases,

00:25:17.879 --> 00:25:18.579
 ideas at

00:25:18.579 --> 00:25:19.000
 the end of

00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:19.399
 the text,

00:25:19.479 --> 00:25:19.779
 and the

00:25:19.779 --> 00:25:20.639
 second one

00:25:20.639 --> 00:25:21.059
 to the

00:25:21.059 --> 00:25:21.500
 second to

00:25:21.500 --> 00:25:21.859
 last,

00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:22.379
 and so

00:25:22.379 --> 00:25:22.799
 on,

00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:23.519
 you can

00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:24.079
 imagine half

00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:24.319
 of an

00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:24.839
 X until

00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:25.919
 it arrives

00:25:25.919 --> 00:25:26.879
 at a

00:25:26.879 --> 00:25:27.779
 central point

00:25:27.779 --> 00:25:29.039
 of the

00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:29.399
 text.

00:25:30.019 --> 00:25:30.839
 The entire

00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:31.259
 book of

00:25:31.259 --> 00:25:32.000
 John is

00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:32.539
 structured this

00:25:32.539 --> 00:25:32.859
 way,

00:25:33.019 --> 00:25:33.599
 and it has

00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:34.579
 chiasms

00:25:34.579 --> 00:25:35.980
 within it.

00:25:36.819 --> 00:25:37.259
 And the

00:25:37.259 --> 00:25:37.879
 point,

00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:38.859
 as you bring

00:25:38.859 --> 00:25:39.379
 things to

00:25:39.379 --> 00:25:40.440
 the central

00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:41.559
 portion of

00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:42.440
 the passage,

00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:43.079
 it's not that

00:25:43.079 --> 00:25:43.480
 the central

00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:44.039
 thing is

00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:45.139
 always the

00:25:45.139 --> 00:25:45.859
 most important

00:25:45.859 --> 00:25:46.220
 thing,

00:25:46.299 --> 00:25:46.539
 but it's

00:25:46.539 --> 00:25:46.899
 meant to

00:25:46.899 --> 00:25:47.359
 help us,

00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:47.879
 it gives

00:25:47.879 --> 00:25:48.500
 us an

00:25:48.500 --> 00:25:49.099
 interpretive

00:25:49.099 --> 00:25:49.879
 lens to

00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:50.820
 use as

00:25:50.820 --> 00:25:51.380
 we look

00:25:51.380 --> 00:25:51.640
 at the

00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:52.120
 entirety

00:25:52.120 --> 00:25:53.520
 of the

00:25:53.520 --> 00:25:53.900
 chiasm.

00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:55.680
 So,

00:25:56.140 --> 00:25:57.420
 the central

00:25:57.420 --> 00:25:58.020
 portion of

00:25:58.020 --> 00:25:58.880
 this passage

00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:00.480
 is the

00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:00.960
 very end

00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:01.280
 of verse

00:26:01.280 --> 00:26:03.120
 9 and

00:26:03.120 --> 00:26:03.900
 verse 10,

00:26:04.540 --> 00:26:05.080
 which just

00:26:05.080 --> 00:26:05.480
 says,

00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:07.520
 now that

00:26:07.520 --> 00:26:09.280
 day was

00:26:09.280 --> 00:26:10.580
 the

00:26:10.580 --> 00:26:10.900
 Sabbath.

00:26:11.600 --> 00:26:12.280
 Now that

00:26:12.280 --> 00:26:12.740
 day was

00:26:12.740 --> 00:26:13.160
 the Sabbath,

00:26:13.680 --> 00:26:14.000
 and then

00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:14.320
 verse 10

00:26:14.320 --> 00:26:14.560
 says,

00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:15.039
 so,

00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:15.899
 the Jew

00:26:15.899 --> 00:26:16.220
 said to

00:26:16.220 --> 00:26:16.480
 the man

00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:16.720
 who had

00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:16.839
 been

00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:17.159
 healed,

00:26:17.339 --> 00:26:17.659
 it is

00:26:17.659 --> 00:26:17.899
 the

00:26:17.899 --> 00:26:18.259
 Sabbath,

00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:18.619
 and it

00:26:18.619 --> 00:26:19.099
 is not

00:26:19.099 --> 00:26:19.819
 lawful for

00:26:19.819 --> 00:26:20.099
 you to

00:26:20.099 --> 00:26:20.579
 take up

00:26:20.579 --> 00:26:22.399
 your bed.

00:26:23.159 --> 00:26:23.399
 So,

00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:24.259
 we take

00:26:24.259 --> 00:26:24.419
 that,

00:26:24.460 --> 00:26:24.679
 we take

00:26:24.679 --> 00:26:25.279
 that bit

00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:25.480
 of it,

00:26:25.539 --> 00:26:25.859
 that's the

00:26:25.859 --> 00:26:26.139
 way the

00:26:26.139 --> 00:26:26.519
 structure,

00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:27.539
 why did

00:26:27.539 --> 00:26:27.960
 John write

00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:28.379
 it this

00:26:28.379 --> 00:26:28.819
 way?

00:26:28.899 --> 00:26:29.299
 It begins

00:26:29.299 --> 00:26:30.000
 to answer

00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:30.339
 some

00:26:30.339 --> 00:26:31.099
 questions

00:26:31.099 --> 00:26:32.079
 for us.

00:26:32.179 --> 00:26:32.500
 It helps

00:26:32.500 --> 00:26:32.839
 us to

00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:33.220
 look at

00:26:33.220 --> 00:26:33.799
 what is

00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:34.099
 trying to

00:26:34.099 --> 00:26:34.240
 be

00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:34.960
 communicated

00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:35.759
 to us

00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:36.679
 in this

00:26:36.679 --> 00:26:37.099
 text.

00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:38.639
 Now I

00:26:38.639 --> 00:26:38.940
 do not

00:26:38.940 --> 00:26:39.159
 want to

00:26:39.159 --> 00:26:39.779
 make too

00:26:39.779 --> 00:26:40.579
 little of

00:26:40.579 --> 00:26:40.980
 the fact

00:26:40.980 --> 00:26:41.500
 that Jesus

00:26:41.500 --> 00:26:42.359
 is the

00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:42.700
 sympathetic

00:26:42.700 --> 00:26:43.319
 healer.

00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:43.740
 We should

00:26:43.740 --> 00:26:44.419
 note that,

00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:44.740
 we should

00:26:44.740 --> 00:26:45.500
 pause on

00:26:45.500 --> 00:26:45.859
 that,

00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:46.119
 right?

00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:46.559
 So it's a

00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:47.000
 significant

00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:47.579
 thing that

00:26:47.579 --> 00:26:48.720
 happens here

00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:49.099
 in the life

00:26:49.099 --> 00:26:49.419
 of this

00:26:49.419 --> 00:26:49.700
 man,

00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:50.019
 and we're

00:26:50.019 --> 00:26:50.480
 meant to

00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:51.079
 see Jesus

00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:51.619
 in this

00:26:51.619 --> 00:26:51.939
 way,

00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:53.059
 but that's

00:26:53.059 --> 00:26:53.559
 not the

00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:54.700
 driving point

00:26:54.700 --> 00:26:55.299
 of this

00:26:55.299 --> 00:26:55.720
 passage.

00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:56.799
 It's not

00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:57.299
 the one

00:26:57.299 --> 00:26:58.119
 thing that

00:26:58.119 --> 00:26:58.359
 we should

00:26:58.359 --> 00:26:58.819
 take away

00:26:58.819 --> 00:26:59.740
 from it.

00:27:00.700 --> 00:27:01.359
 John develops

00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:01.899
 the setting

00:27:01.899 --> 00:27:02.359
 of this

00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:02.919
 story in

00:27:02.919 --> 00:27:03.359
 the first

00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:04.019
 four verses,

00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:05.639
 but omits

00:27:05.639 --> 00:27:06.759
 this important

00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:07.319
 detail.

00:27:07.859 --> 00:27:08.500
 Now that

00:27:08.500 --> 00:27:09.639
 day was

00:27:09.639 --> 00:27:10.419
 the

00:27:10.419 --> 00:27:10.720
 Sabbath,

00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:11.519
 right?

00:27:11.619 --> 00:27:11.980
 He could

00:27:11.980 --> 00:27:12.299
 have said

00:27:12.299 --> 00:27:12.659
 that at the

00:27:12.659 --> 00:27:13.200
 very beginning,

00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:13.539
 but he

00:27:13.539 --> 00:27:14.279
 holds it

00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:14.819
 back.

00:27:15.380 --> 00:27:16.019
 He holds

00:27:16.019 --> 00:27:16.559
 it back

00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:17.319
 until we're

00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:18.039
 amazed at

00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:18.480
 the healing.

00:27:18.900 --> 00:27:19.200
 We're reading

00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:19.440
 and we're

00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:19.740
 going,

00:27:20.019 --> 00:27:20.539
 look at

00:27:20.539 --> 00:27:21.120
 the mercy

00:27:21.120 --> 00:27:21.900
 of this

00:27:21.900 --> 00:27:22.700
 God

00:27:22.700 --> 00:27:23.460
 to this

00:27:23.460 --> 00:27:24.360
 man,

00:27:24.740 --> 00:27:25.460
 and then

00:27:25.460 --> 00:27:26.420
 he drops

00:27:26.420 --> 00:27:26.980
 a bomb

00:27:26.980 --> 00:27:27.480
 at the

00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:27.900
 very center

00:27:27.900 --> 00:27:28.519
 of the

00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:28.840
 text.

00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:29.519
 Now that

00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:31.120
 day was

00:27:31.120 --> 00:27:32.000
 the

00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:32.259
 Sabbath.

00:27:33.600 --> 00:27:34.200
 Not

00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:34.559
 incredibly

00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:35.259
 significant to

00:27:35.259 --> 00:27:35.580
 us,

00:27:35.620 --> 00:27:35.980
 more than

00:27:35.980 --> 00:27:36.340
 likely,

00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:36.740
 but if you

00:27:36.740 --> 00:27:37.380
 understand in

00:27:37.380 --> 00:27:38.460
 any measure

00:27:38.460 --> 00:27:40.539
 the culture

00:27:40.539 --> 00:27:41.100
 of his

00:27:41.100 --> 00:27:41.620
 day,

00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:42.220
 you would

00:27:42.220 --> 00:27:43.160
 see the

00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:43.620
 significance,

00:27:43.740 --> 00:27:43.920
 and I'm

00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:44.120
 going to

00:27:44.120 --> 00:27:44.340
 try to

00:27:44.340 --> 00:27:44.600
 help you

00:27:44.600 --> 00:27:44.960
 do that

00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:46.160
 here in

00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:46.519
 just a

00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:47.279
 moment for

00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:48.460
 our second

00:27:48.460 --> 00:27:48.920
 point.

00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:50.039
 We need to

00:27:50.039 --> 00:27:50.380
 take up

00:27:50.380 --> 00:27:51.279
 this

00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:52.460
 interpretive

00:27:52.460 --> 00:27:52.860
 lens,

00:27:53.019 --> 00:27:53.180
 the

00:27:53.180 --> 00:27:54.259
 rejected

00:27:54.259 --> 00:27:55.120
 Messiah.

00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:56.200
 So we have

00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:56.559
 the sympathetic

00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:57.120
 healer and we

00:27:57.120 --> 00:27:57.700
 also have the

00:27:57.700 --> 00:27:58.600
 rejected

00:27:58.600 --> 00:28:00.120
 Messiah.

00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:02.159
 Sabbath

00:28:02.159 --> 00:28:02.579
 keeping

00:28:02.579 --> 00:28:03.459
 was a

00:28:03.459 --> 00:28:04.339
 major

00:28:04.339 --> 00:28:05.259
 deal

00:28:05.259 --> 00:28:06.479
 for the

00:28:06.479 --> 00:28:06.679
 Jewish

00:28:06.679 --> 00:28:06.979
 people.

00:28:07.099 --> 00:28:07.679
 Still is

00:28:07.679 --> 00:28:08.539
 among some

00:28:08.539 --> 00:28:09.279
 Jewish

00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:09.759
 communities

00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:10.299
 today.

00:28:11.579 --> 00:28:11.899
 Now they

00:28:11.899 --> 00:28:12.679
 were right

00:28:12.679 --> 00:28:12.979
 to have

00:28:12.979 --> 00:28:13.739
 some concern

00:28:13.739 --> 00:28:14.319
 for keeping

00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:15.259
 the fourth

00:28:15.259 --> 00:28:15.959
 of the

00:28:15.959 --> 00:28:16.099
 Ten

00:28:16.099 --> 00:28:16.699
 Commandments.

00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:18.039
 This one

00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:18.559
 especially

00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:19.059
 was an

00:28:19.059 --> 00:28:19.739
 outward

00:28:19.739 --> 00:28:20.219
 invisible

00:28:20.219 --> 00:28:21.500
 thing.

00:28:21.679 --> 00:28:21.959
 You could

00:28:21.959 --> 00:28:22.759
 tell whether

00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:23.119
 or not

00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:23.859
 somebody was

00:28:23.859 --> 00:28:24.859
 keeping the

00:28:24.859 --> 00:28:25.159
 Sabbath

00:28:25.159 --> 00:28:26.559
 or not,

00:28:26.619 --> 00:28:27.000
 but they

00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:27.899
 had just

00:28:27.899 --> 00:28:29.179
 entirely

00:28:29.180 --> 00:28:30.519
 misunderstood

00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:32.100
 its purpose.

00:28:33.660 --> 00:28:33.980
 You know,

00:28:34.019 --> 00:28:35.060
 back in my

00:28:35.060 --> 00:28:35.620
 days when I

00:28:35.620 --> 00:28:36.100
 wrote papers,

00:28:36.259 --> 00:28:36.640
 a long time

00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:37.100
 ago when I

00:28:37.100 --> 00:28:37.519
 wrote papers,

00:28:37.779 --> 00:28:38.240
 sometimes I

00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:38.580
 would read

00:28:38.580 --> 00:28:38.980
 something that

00:28:38.980 --> 00:28:39.400
 was just so

00:28:39.400 --> 00:28:39.720
 perfectly

00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:41.019
 worded that

00:28:41.019 --> 00:28:41.240
 I just

00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:41.820
 wanted to

00:28:41.820 --> 00:28:43.060
 copy and

00:28:43.060 --> 00:28:43.480
 paste it,

00:28:44.259 --> 00:28:44.820
 but I'm

00:28:44.820 --> 00:28:45.039
 not a

00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:45.460
 plagiarist,

00:28:45.539 --> 00:28:45.759
 so I

00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:46.100
 wouldn't.

00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:47.820
 I learned

00:28:47.820 --> 00:28:48.400
 about block

00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:48.740
 quoting,

00:28:49.120 --> 00:28:50.519
 which changed

00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:51.120
 my life in

00:28:51.120 --> 00:28:51.700
 writing papers.

00:28:53.420 --> 00:28:53.880
 That's

00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:54.360
 essentially what

00:28:54.360 --> 00:28:54.779
 I get to do

00:28:54.779 --> 00:28:55.160
 in sermons

00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:55.480
 for you.

00:28:55.600 --> 00:28:56.279
 So this

00:28:56.279 --> 00:28:56.720
 is so

00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:57.660
 succinct and

00:28:57.660 --> 00:28:58.140
 so well

00:28:58.140 --> 00:28:58.640
 said,

00:28:58.640 --> 00:28:59.560
 by John

00:28:59.560 --> 00:28:59.860
 MacArthur

00:28:59.860 --> 00:29:00.140
 in his

00:29:00.140 --> 00:29:00.440
 commentary

00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:00.820
 on this.

00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:01.060
 I'm just

00:29:01.060 --> 00:29:01.200
 going to

00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:01.480
 read you

00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:02.160
 two short

00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:02.840
 paragraphs

00:29:02.840 --> 00:29:03.520
 that helps

00:29:03.520 --> 00:29:03.880
 make this

00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:04.420
 point so

00:29:04.420 --> 00:29:04.700
 very,

00:29:04.820 --> 00:29:05.420
 very clearly.

00:29:05.500 --> 00:29:05.660
 So I'm

00:29:05.660 --> 00:29:05.860
 block

00:29:05.860 --> 00:29:06.140
 quoting

00:29:06.140 --> 00:29:06.960
 John

00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:07.300
 MacArthur,

00:29:08.100 --> 00:29:09.540
 a dear

00:29:09.540 --> 00:29:09.960
 saint that

00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:10.320
 we lost

00:29:10.320 --> 00:29:10.740
 not long

00:29:10.740 --> 00:29:11.040
 ago.

00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:12.840
 He's

00:29:12.840 --> 00:29:13.140
 talking about

00:29:13.140 --> 00:29:13.259
 the

00:29:13.259 --> 00:29:13.460
 Sabbath

00:29:13.460 --> 00:29:13.620
 here.

00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:13.759
 The

00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:13.940
 Old

00:29:13.940 --> 00:29:14.360
 Testament

00:29:14.360 --> 00:29:15.660
 prohibited

00:29:15.660 --> 00:29:16.600
 working

00:29:16.600 --> 00:29:17.620
 on the

00:29:17.620 --> 00:29:17.940
 Sabbath.

00:29:18.860 --> 00:29:19.220
 Exodus

00:29:19.220 --> 00:29:20.020
 chapter 31

00:29:20.020 --> 00:29:20.540
 and chapter

00:29:20.540 --> 00:29:21.220
 35,

00:29:22.140 --> 00:29:22.680
 but did

00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:24.120
 not specify

00:29:24.120 --> 00:29:25.420
 exactly what

00:29:25.420 --> 00:29:26.020
 kind of

00:29:26.020 --> 00:29:26.780
 work was

00:29:26.780 --> 00:29:27.400
 forbidden.

00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:28.900
 It seems,

00:29:29.100 --> 00:29:29.280
 however,

00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:30.060
 that one's

00:29:30.060 --> 00:29:31.220
 customary

00:29:31.220 --> 00:29:31.860
 employment

00:29:31.860 --> 00:29:32.500
 was in

00:29:32.500 --> 00:29:32.800
 view.

00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:33.500
 So the

00:29:33.500 --> 00:29:33.840
 thing you

00:29:33.840 --> 00:29:34.200
 did for

00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:35.180
 a living

00:29:35.180 --> 00:29:35.640
 was what

00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:35.940
 was in

00:29:35.940 --> 00:29:36.160
 view.

00:29:36.300 --> 00:29:36.580
 You worked

00:29:36.580 --> 00:29:37.180
 six days

00:29:37.180 --> 00:29:37.900
 and then

00:29:37.900 --> 00:29:38.300
 you rested

00:29:38.300 --> 00:29:38.860
 on a

00:29:38.860 --> 00:29:39.860
 seventh.

00:29:40.860 --> 00:29:41.160
 The

00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:41.540
 Israelites

00:29:41.540 --> 00:29:42.360
 were not

00:29:42.360 --> 00:29:42.860
 to participate

00:29:42.860 --> 00:29:43.220
 in their

00:29:43.220 --> 00:29:44.140
 normal week-long

00:29:44.140 --> 00:29:45.100
 occupations

00:29:45.100 --> 00:29:45.640
 on the

00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:46.259
 Sabbath day.

00:29:47.340 --> 00:29:47.880
 But

00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:48.620
 rabbinic

00:29:48.620 --> 00:29:49.140
 tradition

00:29:49.140 --> 00:29:50.420
 went far

00:29:50.420 --> 00:29:51.320
 beyond that,

00:29:52.180 --> 00:29:52.460
 listing

00:29:52.460 --> 00:29:54.060
 39 forbidden

00:29:54.060 --> 00:29:54.800
 categories

00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:55.819
 of work,

00:29:56.419 --> 00:29:57.139
 including

00:29:57.139 --> 00:29:58.299
 carrying

00:29:58.299 --> 00:29:58.980
 goods.

00:29:59.259 --> 00:29:59.539
 So what

00:29:59.539 --> 00:29:59.839
 they were

00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:00.659
 doing in

00:30:00.659 --> 00:30:01.379
 an effort,

00:30:01.460 --> 00:30:02.339
 I think a

00:30:02.339 --> 00:30:03.000
 well-intentioned

00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:03.279
 effort,

00:30:03.700 --> 00:30:04.279
 to keep

00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:05.000
 the fourth

00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:05.740
 commandment,

00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:06.599
 the Sabbath

00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:07.099
 keeping

00:30:07.099 --> 00:30:08.039
 commandment,

00:30:08.180 --> 00:30:08.940
 they added

00:30:08.940 --> 00:30:10.119
 on commandments

00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:10.799
 beyond it.

00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:11.180
 Right?

00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:12.019
 They were

00:30:12.019 --> 00:30:12.599
 often called

00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:13.480
 hedge laws.

00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:13.779
 Right?

00:30:13.839 --> 00:30:14.379
 They put

00:30:14.379 --> 00:30:15.240
 extra stuff

00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:15.500
 around it.

00:30:15.500 --> 00:30:15.720
 Let's just

00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:16.279
 be really

00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:16.740
 sure we

00:30:16.740 --> 00:30:17.159
 don't break

00:30:17.159 --> 00:30:17.419
 it by

00:30:17.419 --> 00:30:18.659
 piling up

00:30:18.659 --> 00:30:19.700
 extra

00:30:19.700 --> 00:30:20.659
 laws.

00:30:21.500 --> 00:30:21.919
 Go back

00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:22.279
 to the

00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:23.740
 quote.

00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:25.400
 The

00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:25.779
 rabbinic

00:30:25.779 --> 00:30:26.340
 prohibitions

00:30:26.340 --> 00:30:26.620
 against

00:30:26.620 --> 00:30:27.019
 carrying

00:30:27.019 --> 00:30:27.420
 loads

00:30:27.420 --> 00:30:27.720
 on the

00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:28.000
 Sabbath

00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:28.700
 was

00:30:28.700 --> 00:30:29.360
 ostensibly

00:30:29.360 --> 00:30:29.880
 based on

00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:30.700
 such passages

00:30:30.700 --> 00:30:31.060
 as

00:30:31.060 --> 00:30:31.720
 Nehemiah

00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:32.580
 chapter 13

00:30:32.580 --> 00:30:33.220
 verse 15

00:30:33.220 --> 00:30:33.680
 through 18

00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:34.860
 and Jeremiah

00:30:34.860 --> 00:30:35.539
 17

00:30:35.539 --> 00:30:36.180
 verse 21

00:30:36.180 --> 00:30:36.920
 through 22.

00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:38.220
 Those passages,

00:30:38.420 --> 00:30:38.779
 however,

00:30:39.180 --> 00:30:39.759
 were aimed

00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:40.720
 at individuals

00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:41.500
 who conducted

00:30:41.500 --> 00:30:42.259
 their ordinary

00:30:42.259 --> 00:30:42.980
 business,

00:30:43.420 --> 00:30:44.080
 their livelihood

00:30:44.080 --> 00:30:44.880
 or occupation

00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:45.960
 on the

00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:46.240
 Sabbath.

00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:47.460
 Thus,

00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:47.840
 they did

00:30:47.840 --> 00:30:48.640
 not apply

00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:49.140
 to the

00:30:49.140 --> 00:30:49.800
 healed man

00:30:49.800 --> 00:30:50.200
 since he

00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:50.680
 did not

00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:51.240
 make his

00:30:51.240 --> 00:30:51.740
 living

00:30:51.740 --> 00:30:53.000
 by carrying

00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:54.339
 his mat.

00:30:55.140 --> 00:30:55.599
 End quote.

00:30:56.460 --> 00:30:57.140
 The point

00:30:57.140 --> 00:30:57.480
 being,

00:30:57.599 --> 00:30:57.799
 they had

00:30:57.799 --> 00:30:59.140
 added up

00:30:59.140 --> 00:30:59.620
 a bunch

00:30:59.620 --> 00:31:00.339
 of extra

00:31:00.339 --> 00:31:01.319
 stuff

00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:02.480
 in order

00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:02.880
 to be

00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:03.920
 so careful.

00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:04.680
 And they

00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:04.960
 were just

00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:05.359
 missing

00:31:05.359 --> 00:31:06.319
 the point

00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:07.400
 altogether

00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:08.579
 of what

00:31:08.579 --> 00:31:08.920
 the

00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:09.240
 Sabbath

00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:10.039
 was

00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:11.460
 for.

00:31:13.059 --> 00:31:13.660
 So,

00:31:14.019 --> 00:31:14.339
 recall,

00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:14.740
 the center

00:31:14.740 --> 00:31:14.960
 of the

00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:15.339
 chiasm,

00:31:15.460 --> 00:31:16.079
 the interpretive

00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:16.460
 lens that

00:31:16.460 --> 00:31:16.799
 we need

00:31:16.799 --> 00:31:17.380
 to employ

00:31:17.380 --> 00:31:17.720
 for these

00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:18.059
 verses,

00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:19.559
 centers on

00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:20.500
 this issue

00:31:20.500 --> 00:31:21.460
 of Sabbath

00:31:21.460 --> 00:31:21.900
 keeping.

00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:23.720
 The Sabbath

00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:24.440
 is understood

00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:25.019
 to be

00:31:25.019 --> 00:31:25.620
 instituted

00:31:25.620 --> 00:31:26.279
 by God

00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:26.559
 in the

00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:27.079
 creation

00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:27.860
 of the

00:31:27.860 --> 00:31:28.400
 world,

00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:28.759
 and this

00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:29.220
 is recorded

00:31:29.220 --> 00:31:29.640
 for us

00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:30.039
 in Genesis

00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:31.559
 chapter 2,

00:31:31.700 --> 00:31:32.220
 verses 1

00:31:32.220 --> 00:31:32.740
 through 3.

00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:34.400
 He creates,

00:31:34.539 --> 00:31:35.120
 he speaks

00:31:35.120 --> 00:31:36.000
 into existence

00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:37.340
 in six

00:31:37.340 --> 00:31:37.900
 days,

00:31:37.940 --> 00:31:38.740
 and then he

00:31:38.740 --> 00:31:39.860
 rests

00:31:39.860 --> 00:31:40.700
 on the

00:31:40.700 --> 00:31:41.019
 seventh.

00:31:42.140 --> 00:31:42.799
 He did

00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:43.240
 not do

00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:43.940
 so because

00:31:43.940 --> 00:31:44.340
 he had

00:31:44.340 --> 00:31:45.000
 exhausted

00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:45.799
 his creative

00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:46.259
 energy,

00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:47.039
 and he

00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:47.440
 needed a

00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:47.819
 breather.

00:31:47.819 --> 00:31:48.919
 So,

00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:49.019
 it would

00:31:49.019 --> 00:31:49.279
 be a

00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:49.879
 gross

00:31:49.879 --> 00:31:50.439
 misunderstanding

00:31:50.439 --> 00:31:51.439
 of God's

00:31:51.439 --> 00:31:52.179
 nature,

00:31:52.460 --> 00:31:53.839
 omnipotent.

00:31:53.899 --> 00:31:54.200
 He does

00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:54.859
 not run

00:31:54.859 --> 00:31:55.679
 out of

00:31:55.679 --> 00:31:56.919
 steam and

00:31:56.919 --> 00:31:57.240
 have to

00:31:57.240 --> 00:31:57.679
 build it

00:31:57.679 --> 00:31:58.779
 back up

00:31:58.779 --> 00:31:59.139
 again.

00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:00.000
 So,

00:32:00.179 --> 00:32:00.539
 why?

00:32:00.859 --> 00:32:01.460
 What's it

00:32:01.460 --> 00:32:02.099
 communicating

00:32:02.099 --> 00:32:02.879
 to us?

00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:03.839
 What it's

00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:04.299
 communicating

00:32:04.299 --> 00:32:05.259
 is that he

00:32:05.259 --> 00:32:06.419
 had completed

00:32:06.419 --> 00:32:07.419
 the place

00:32:07.419 --> 00:32:07.899
 where he

00:32:07.899 --> 00:32:08.399
 was to

00:32:08.399 --> 00:32:09.039
 dwell

00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:09.960
 with his

00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:10.399
 image

00:32:10.399 --> 00:32:11.559
 bearers.

00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:12.519
 I heard it

00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:13.000
 called his

00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:13.939
 cosmic

00:32:13.939 --> 00:32:14.659
 temple,

00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:15.240
 that he

00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:15.519
 was going

00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:16.379
 to fill

00:32:16.379 --> 00:32:16.960
 with his

00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:18.059
 presence

00:32:18.059 --> 00:32:18.779
 and be

00:32:18.779 --> 00:32:19.500
 with his

00:32:19.500 --> 00:32:20.619
 people.

00:32:22.019 --> 00:32:22.500
 His

00:32:22.500 --> 00:32:23.079
 work

00:32:23.079 --> 00:32:24.019
 was to

00:32:24.019 --> 00:32:24.480
 lead to

00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:25.480
 eternal

00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:26.779
 enjoyment,

00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:28.619
 life with

00:32:28.619 --> 00:32:29.720
 him.

00:32:30.900 --> 00:32:31.420
 But Adam

00:32:31.420 --> 00:32:31.819
 and Eve

00:32:31.819 --> 00:32:33.139
 introduced

00:32:33.139 --> 00:32:34.200
 death

00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:35.139
 onto the

00:32:35.139 --> 00:32:35.519
 stage.

00:32:35.779 --> 00:32:36.339
 The very

00:32:36.339 --> 00:32:37.099
 good thing

00:32:37.099 --> 00:32:37.819
 that God

00:32:37.819 --> 00:32:38.500
 had created

00:32:38.500 --> 00:32:39.440
 became

00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:40.680
 marred

00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:42.259
 by their

00:32:42.259 --> 00:32:42.660
 sin.

00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:43.220
 And a

00:32:43.220 --> 00:32:43.460
 curse,

00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:43.940
 a curse

00:32:43.940 --> 00:32:45.039
 of death

00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:45.980
 began to

00:32:45.980 --> 00:32:46.519
 reign in

00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:46.680
 his

00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:47.059
 created

00:32:47.059 --> 00:32:47.920
 world.

00:32:49.220 --> 00:32:49.519
 The

00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:49.899
 command

00:32:49.899 --> 00:32:50.159
 to keep

00:32:50.159 --> 00:32:50.319
 the

00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:50.579
 Sabbath

00:32:50.579 --> 00:32:51.480
 was

00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:51.659
 meant

00:32:51.659 --> 00:32:51.839
 to

00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:52.259
 leave

00:32:52.259 --> 00:32:52.480
 its

00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:52.940
 observers

00:32:52.940 --> 00:32:53.639
 looking

00:32:53.639 --> 00:32:54.980
 backward

00:32:54.980 --> 00:32:55.940
 to

00:32:55.940 --> 00:32:56.299
 man's

00:32:56.299 --> 00:32:56.879
 banishment

00:32:56.879 --> 00:32:57.159
 from

00:32:57.159 --> 00:32:57.460
 God's

00:32:57.460 --> 00:32:57.859
 presence

00:32:57.859 --> 00:32:59.019
 and

00:32:59.019 --> 00:32:59.680
 forward

00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:00.359
 to

00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:00.500
 an

00:33:00.500 --> 00:33:01.379
 anticipated

00:33:01.379 --> 00:33:02.500
 restoration

00:33:02.500 --> 00:33:03.359
 of

00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:03.920
 God's

00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:04.839
 presence.

00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:05.819
 Looking

00:33:05.819 --> 00:33:06.159
 towards

00:33:06.159 --> 00:33:06.399
 that

00:33:06.399 --> 00:33:06.839
 great

00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:07.099
 day

00:33:07.099 --> 00:33:07.240
 when

00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:07.319
 there

00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:07.379
 will

00:33:07.379 --> 00:33:07.480
 be

00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:07.619
 a

00:33:07.619 --> 00:33:07.799
 new

00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:08.119
 heaven

00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:08.279
 and

00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:08.440
 a

00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:08.619
 new

00:33:08.619 --> 00:33:09.119
 earth,

00:33:09.299 --> 00:33:10.039
 a

00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:10.519
 garden

00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:11.980
 remade

00:33:11.980 --> 00:33:12.180
 where

00:33:12.180 --> 00:33:12.500
 God's

00:33:12.500 --> 00:33:12.799
 people

00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:13.059
 will

00:33:13.059 --> 00:33:13.339
 dwell

00:33:13.339 --> 00:33:14.240
 with

00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:14.559
 him.

00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:15.960
 The

00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:16.299
 Sabbath

00:33:16.299 --> 00:33:16.659
 then

00:33:16.659 --> 00:33:17.259
 properly

00:33:17.259 --> 00:33:17.879
 understood

00:33:17.879 --> 00:33:19.019
 and

00:33:19.019 --> 00:33:19.920
 emptied

00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:21.920
 all of

00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:22.039
 the

00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:22.440
 challenges

00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:22.819
 that

00:33:22.819 --> 00:33:23.359
 they

00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:23.899
 found

00:33:23.899 --> 00:33:24.599
 used

00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:24.799
 as

00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:24.960
 an

00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:25.519
 interpretive

00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:25.899
 lens

00:33:25.899 --> 00:33:26.399
 employed

00:33:26.399 --> 00:33:26.559
 in

00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:26.720
 this

00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:27.039
 way

00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:27.480
 should

00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:27.759
 lead

00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:27.920
 us

00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:28.059
 to

00:33:28.059 --> 00:33:28.379
 see

00:33:28.379 --> 00:33:29.000
 that

00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:29.220
 this

00:33:29.220 --> 00:33:29.680
 man's

00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:30.519
 ailment

00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:31.359
 is

00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:31.539
 the

00:33:31.539 --> 00:33:32.159
 result

00:33:32.159 --> 00:33:32.819
 of

00:33:32.819 --> 00:33:32.940
 the

00:33:32.940 --> 00:33:33.159
 curse

00:33:33.159 --> 00:33:33.279
 of

00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:33.399
 the

00:33:33.399 --> 00:33:33.720
 garden.

00:33:34.899 --> 00:33:35.039
 You

00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:35.259
 see how

00:33:35.259 --> 00:33:35.399
 the

00:33:35.399 --> 00:33:35.859
 central

00:33:35.859 --> 00:33:36.159
 point

00:33:36.159 --> 00:33:36.359
 helps

00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:36.460
 you

00:33:36.460 --> 00:33:36.559
 to

00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:36.720
 go

00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:37.339
 oh

00:33:37.339 --> 00:33:38.139
 how

00:33:38.139 --> 00:33:38.339
 is

00:33:38.339 --> 00:33:38.619
 John

00:33:38.619 --> 00:33:39.119
 recording

00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:39.799
 this

00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:40.059
 for

00:33:40.059 --> 00:33:40.399
 us

00:33:40.399 --> 00:33:41.240
 to

00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:41.639
 see

00:33:41.639 --> 00:33:42.359
 this

00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:42.680
 man

00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:42.819
 who

00:33:42.819 --> 00:33:42.980
 is

00:33:42.980 --> 00:33:43.659
 not

00:33:43.659 --> 00:33:44.119
 whole

00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:44.519
 right?

00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:45.319
 He's

00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:45.500
 not

00:33:45.500 --> 00:33:45.819
 whole

00:33:45.819 --> 00:33:46.160
 because

00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:46.420
 of

00:33:46.420 --> 00:33:47.119
 the

00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:47.599
 curse.

00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:48.039
 We'll

00:33:48.039 --> 00:33:48.319
 talk a

00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:48.480
 bit

00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:48.960
 whether

00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:49.220
 it's

00:33:49.220 --> 00:33:49.680
 his

00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:49.980
 sin

00:33:49.980 --> 00:33:50.099
 or

00:33:50.099 --> 00:33:50.420
 sin

00:33:50.420 --> 00:33:50.619
 in

00:33:50.619 --> 00:33:51.019
 general

00:33:51.019 --> 00:33:51.900
 in

00:33:51.900 --> 00:33:52.079
 just

00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:52.220
 a

00:33:52.220 --> 00:33:52.339
 little

00:33:52.339 --> 00:33:52.759
 while.

00:33:53.139 --> 00:33:53.700
 Why?

00:33:53.819 --> 00:33:54.240
 Why is

00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:54.420
 this

00:33:54.420 --> 00:33:54.859
 man

00:33:54.859 --> 00:33:55.680
 ill?

00:33:55.859 --> 00:33:56.240
 Why is

00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:56.660
 he not

00:33:56.660 --> 00:33:57.139
 doing

00:33:57.139 --> 00:33:58.059
 well?

00:33:58.119 --> 00:33:58.220
 It's

00:33:58.220 --> 00:33:58.440
 because

00:33:58.440 --> 00:33:59.000
 sin

00:33:59.000 --> 00:33:59.240
 is

00:33:59.240 --> 00:33:59.779
 in

00:33:59.779 --> 00:34:00.819
 the

00:34:00.819 --> 00:34:01.400
 world.

00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:02.720
 If you

00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:03.099
 understand

00:34:03.099 --> 00:34:03.299
 the

00:34:03.299 --> 00:34:03.559
 Sabbath

00:34:03.559 --> 00:34:04.099
 rightly

00:34:04.099 --> 00:34:04.359
 and

00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:04.480
 then

00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:04.599
 you

00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:04.900
 use

00:34:04.900 --> 00:34:05.039
 it

00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:05.319
 as

00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:05.599
 that

00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:06.099
 lens

00:34:06.099 --> 00:34:06.379
 you'll

00:34:06.379 --> 00:34:06.539
 see

00:34:06.539 --> 00:34:06.720
 what

00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:07.059
 John

00:34:07.059 --> 00:34:07.740
 is

00:34:07.740 --> 00:34:07.980
 doing

00:34:07.980 --> 00:34:08.219
 for

00:34:08.219 --> 00:34:08.500
 us

00:34:08.500 --> 00:34:09.199
 here.

00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:10.719
 Jesus'

00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:11.779
 healing

00:34:11.779 --> 00:34:12.460
 of

00:34:12.460 --> 00:34:12.759
 this

00:34:12.759 --> 00:34:13.319
 man

00:34:13.319 --> 00:34:13.619
 is

00:34:13.619 --> 00:34:13.759
 meant

00:34:13.759 --> 00:34:13.960
 to

00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:14.319
 picture

00:34:14.319 --> 00:34:14.659
 for

00:34:14.659 --> 00:34:15.000
 us

00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:15.559
 the

00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:15.759
 great

00:34:15.759 --> 00:34:16.019
 healing

00:34:16.019 --> 00:34:16.159
 he

00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:16.399
 does

00:34:16.399 --> 00:34:16.500
 in

00:34:16.500 --> 00:34:16.599
 the

00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:16.839
 hearts

00:34:16.839 --> 00:34:17.019
 of

00:34:17.019 --> 00:34:17.799
 men

00:34:17.799 --> 00:34:17.980
 as

00:34:17.980 --> 00:34:18.099
 he

00:34:18.099 --> 00:34:18.519
 brings

00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:18.779
 them

00:34:18.779 --> 00:34:19.000
 from

00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:19.460
 death

00:34:19.460 --> 00:34:19.679
 to

00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:20.179
 life

00:34:20.179 --> 00:34:20.719
 to

00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:20.960
 place

00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:21.119
 their

00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:21.399
 faith

00:34:21.399 --> 00:34:21.779
 in

00:34:21.779 --> 00:34:22.119
 him.

00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:22.719
 To

00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:23.039
 have

00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:23.579
 God's

00:34:23.579 --> 00:34:24.279
 presence

00:34:24.279 --> 00:34:24.719
 to know

00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:24.960
 him

00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:25.359
 and to

00:34:25.359 --> 00:34:25.599
 be

00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:26.079
 known

00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:27.079
 by

00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:27.399
 him.

00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:28.639
 If

00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:28.740
 we

00:34:28.740 --> 00:34:29.099
 understand

00:34:29.099 --> 00:34:29.340
 it

00:34:29.340 --> 00:34:29.539
 this

00:34:29.539 --> 00:34:29.980
 way

00:34:29.980 --> 00:34:31.400
 we'll

00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:31.800
 see

00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:32.019
 that

00:34:32.019 --> 00:34:32.320
 this

00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:32.460
 is

00:34:32.460 --> 00:34:32.599
 what

00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:32.920
 Jesus'

00:34:33.180 --> 00:34:33.519
 healing

00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:33.760
 is

00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:34.420
 driving

00:34:34.420 --> 00:34:34.800
 us

00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:35.119
 to

00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:35.400
 it's

00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:35.619
 so

00:34:35.619 --> 00:34:35.860
 much

00:34:35.860 --> 00:34:36.380
 more

00:34:36.380 --> 00:34:36.559
 than

00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:36.740
 just

00:34:36.740 --> 00:34:37.039
 talking

00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:37.280
 about

00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:37.840
 temporal

00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:39.500
 relief

00:34:39.500 --> 00:34:40.059
 and

00:34:40.059 --> 00:34:40.260
 praise

00:34:40.260 --> 00:34:40.519
 God

00:34:40.519 --> 00:34:40.639
 he

00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:40.880
 does

00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:41.160
 bring

00:34:41.160 --> 00:34:41.320
 us

00:34:41.320 --> 00:34:41.740
 temporal

00:34:41.740 --> 00:34:42.180
 relief

00:34:42.180 --> 00:34:42.340
 but

00:34:42.340 --> 00:34:42.559
 that's

00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:42.880
 not

00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:43.099
 the

00:34:43.099 --> 00:34:43.460
 point

00:34:43.460 --> 00:34:43.700
 it's

00:34:43.700 --> 00:34:43.920
 not

00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:44.260
 our

00:34:44.260 --> 00:34:45.119
 greatest

00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:46.280
 need

00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:47.940
 what

00:34:47.940 --> 00:34:48.079
 he

00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:48.460
 does

00:34:48.460 --> 00:34:48.619
 is

00:34:48.619 --> 00:34:49.400
 directing

00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:49.860
 us

00:34:49.860 --> 00:34:50.420
 it's

00:34:50.420 --> 00:34:50.900
 directing

00:34:50.900 --> 00:34:51.360
 us

00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:52.420
 toward

00:34:52.420 --> 00:34:53.099
 him

00:34:53.099 --> 00:34:53.340
 as

00:34:53.340 --> 00:34:53.539
 the

00:34:53.539 --> 00:34:54.240
 fulfillment

00:34:54.240 --> 00:34:55.119
 of

00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:55.940
 that

00:34:55.940 --> 00:34:56.860
 rest

00:34:56.860 --> 00:34:58.460
 restoration

00:34:58.460 --> 00:34:59.680
 and

00:34:59.680 --> 00:34:59.820
 it's

00:34:59.820 --> 00:35:00.039
 also

00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:00.519
 directing

00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:00.760
 us

00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:00.920
 to

00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:01.180
 the

00:35:01.180 --> 00:35:02.200
 confrontation

00:35:02.200 --> 00:35:02.860
 to

00:35:02.860 --> 00:35:03.340
 the

00:35:03.340 --> 00:35:03.920
 Jewish

00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:04.900
 hypocritical

00:35:04.900 --> 00:35:05.280
 religious

00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:05.900
 systems

00:35:05.900 --> 00:35:06.680
 and

00:35:06.680 --> 00:35:07.900
 traditions

00:35:07.900 --> 00:35:09.720
 so

00:35:09.720 --> 00:35:09.880
 we

00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:10.099
 see

00:35:10.099 --> 00:35:10.320
 them

00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:10.680
 the

00:35:10.680 --> 00:35:11.240
 central

00:35:11.240 --> 00:35:11.680
 part

00:35:11.680 --> 00:35:11.920
 of

00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:12.260
 this

00:35:12.260 --> 00:35:12.780
 saying

00:35:12.780 --> 00:35:12.940
 to

00:35:12.940 --> 00:35:13.099
 the

00:35:13.099 --> 00:35:13.460
 man

00:35:13.460 --> 00:35:14.160
 it's

00:35:14.160 --> 00:35:14.320
 the

00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:14.780
 Sabbath

00:35:14.780 --> 00:35:15.800
 they're

00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:15.940
 not

00:35:15.940 --> 00:35:16.480
 rejoicing

00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:16.720
 in the

00:35:16.720 --> 00:35:16.920
 fact

00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:17.059
 that

00:35:17.059 --> 00:35:17.200
 he's

00:35:17.200 --> 00:35:17.340
 been

00:35:17.340 --> 00:35:17.820
 restored

00:35:17.820 --> 00:35:18.240
 at

00:35:18.240 --> 00:35:18.740
 all

00:35:18.740 --> 00:35:19.400
 how

00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:19.720
 dare

00:35:19.720 --> 00:35:19.900
 you

00:35:19.900 --> 00:35:20.099
 get

00:35:20.099 --> 00:35:20.340
 up

00:35:20.340 --> 00:35:20.860
 take

00:35:20.860 --> 00:35:21.039
 your

00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:21.320
 mat

00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:21.599
 and

00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:22.000
 walk

00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:22.480
 around

00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:22.900
 with

00:35:22.900 --> 00:35:23.200
 it

00:35:23.200 --> 00:35:24.620
 missing

00:35:24.620 --> 00:35:25.360
 the

00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:25.640
 point

00:35:25.640 --> 00:35:26.079
 missing

00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:26.340
 it

00:35:26.340 --> 00:35:27.380
 all

00:35:27.380 --> 00:35:28.680
 together

00:35:28.680 --> 00:35:29.880
 and he

00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:30.100
 simply

00:35:30.100 --> 00:35:30.480
 responds

00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:30.800
 to them

00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:31.200
 well

00:35:31.200 --> 00:35:31.480
 the

00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:31.640
 man

00:35:31.640 --> 00:35:31.740
 who

00:35:31.740 --> 00:35:31.940
 healed

00:35:31.940 --> 00:35:32.160
 me

00:35:32.160 --> 00:35:32.820
 that

00:35:32.820 --> 00:35:33.039
 man

00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:33.340
 said

00:35:33.340 --> 00:35:33.480
 to

00:35:33.480 --> 00:35:33.700
 me

00:35:33.700 --> 00:35:34.380
 take

00:35:34.380 --> 00:35:34.539
 your

00:35:34.539 --> 00:35:34.740
 bed

00:35:34.740 --> 00:35:34.960
 up

00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:35.160
 and

 the world

00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:52.260
 made

00:36:53.240 --> 00:36:54.260
 because

 brokenness

00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:55.760
 and the

00:36:55.760 --> 00:36:55.980
 curse

00:36:55.980 --> 00:36:56.199
 that

00:36:56.199 --> 00:36:57.139
 followed

00:36:57.139 --> 00:36:58.460
 we're

00:36:58.460 --> 00:36:58.960
 also

00:36:58.960 --> 00:36:59.300
 told

00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:03.619
 and death

00:37:03.619 --> 00:37:04.740
 can be

00:37:04.740 --> 00:37:05.679
 the result

00:37:05.679 --> 00:37:06.420
 of personal

 misuse

00:37:12.460 --> 00:37:13.139
 and abuse

00:37:13.139 --> 00:37:14.000
 of taking

00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:14.460
 the Lord's

00:37:14.460 --> 00:37:14.679
 supper

00:37:14.679 --> 00:37:14.719
!

00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:15.299
 together

00:37:15.299 --> 00:37:15.659
 way

00:37:15.659 --> 00:37:15.799
 that

00:37:15.799 --> 00:37:15.939
 the

00:37:15.939 --> 00:37:16.199
 church

00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:16.399
 was

00:37:16.399 --> 00:37:16.879
 not

00:37:16.879 --> 00:37:17.480
 loving

00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:18.539
 one

00:37:18.539 --> 00:37:18.980
 another

00:37:18.980 --> 00:37:19.839
 and he

00:37:19.839 --> 00:37:19.980
 says

00:37:19.980 --> 00:37:20.099
 in

 verse

00:37:20.259 --> 00:37:20.659

00:37:20.659 --> 00:37:20.899
 that

00:37:20.899 --> 00:37:21.039
 is

00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:21.319
 why

00:37:21.319 --> 00:37:21.639
 many

00:37:21.639 --> 00:37:22.000
 of you

00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:22.259
 are

00:37:22.259 --> 00:37:22.739
 weak

00:37:22.739 --> 00:37:23.559
 and ill

00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:24.359
 and some

00:37:24.359 --> 00:37:25.899
 have died

00:37:25.899 --> 00:37:26.619
 because of

00:37:26.619 --> 00:37:27.279
 this particular

00:37:27.279 --> 00:37:29.079
 sinfulness

00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:30.879
 so

00:37:30.879 --> 00:37:31.579
 both

00:37:31.579 --> 00:37:32.199
 sin or

00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:32.959
 because of

00:37:32.959 --> 00:37:33.739
 the curse

00:37:33.739 --> 00:37:34.579
 that began

00:37:34.579 --> 00:37:35.759
 by Adam's

00:37:35.759 --> 00:37:35.980
 sin

00:37:35.980 --> 00:37:36.559
 it's

00:37:36.559 --> 00:37:37.419
 not clear

00:37:37.420 --> 00:37:38.820
 but Jesus

00:37:38.820 --> 00:37:39.460
 warning

00:37:39.460 --> 00:37:41.099
 should be

00:37:41.099 --> 00:37:42.500
 sobering

00:37:42.500 --> 00:37:43.680
 he's been

00:37:43.680 --> 00:37:43.960
 made

00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:44.619
 whole

00:37:44.619 --> 00:37:45.860
 temporally

00:37:45.860 --> 00:37:46.720
 healed

00:37:46.720 --> 00:37:49.059
 unrepentant

00:37:49.059 --> 00:37:49.400
 sin

00:37:49.400 --> 00:37:50.659
 unrepentant

00:37:50.659 --> 00:37:51.000
 sin

00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:52.240
 will lead

00:37:52.240 --> 00:37:52.800
 to a fate

00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:53.860
 much worse

00:37:53.860 --> 00:37:54.500
 than being

00:37:54.500 --> 00:37:54.940
 an invalid

00:37:54.940 --> 00:37:55.720
 for 38

00:37:55.720 --> 00:37:56.119
 years

00:37:56.119 --> 00:37:58.039
 unrepentant

00:37:58.039 --> 00:37:58.360
 sin

00:37:58.360 --> 00:37:59.760
 leads to

00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:00.700
 eternal

00:38:00.700 --> 00:38:01.840
 death

00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:03.059
 a much

00:38:03.059 --> 00:38:03.780
 much

00:38:03.780 --> 00:38:04.539
 greater

00:38:04.539 --> 00:38:05.700
 consequence

00:38:05.700 --> 00:38:06.340
 death

00:38:06.340 --> 00:38:06.860
 suffering

00:38:06.860 --> 00:38:07.480
 separation

00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:08.260
 from

00:38:08.260 --> 00:38:08.700
 God

00:38:08.700 --> 00:38:10.019
 forever

00:38:10.019 --> 00:38:12.660
 unfortunately

00:38:12.660 --> 00:38:12.960
 it would

00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:13.280
 seem

00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:14.680
 the man

00:38:14.680 --> 00:38:15.019
 just

00:38:15.019 --> 00:38:15.579
 doesn't

00:38:15.579 --> 00:38:16.059
 quite

00:38:16.059 --> 00:38:16.820
 get it

00:38:16.820 --> 00:38:18.460
 why

00:38:18.460 --> 00:38:18.760
 would I

00:38:18.760 --> 00:38:18.980
 think

00:38:18.980 --> 00:38:19.240
 this

00:38:19.240 --> 00:38:19.519
 because

00:38:19.519 --> 00:38:19.960
 the man

00:38:19.960 --> 00:38:20.680
 goes

00:38:20.680 --> 00:38:21.140
 away

00:38:21.140 --> 00:38:22.400
 and he

00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:22.960
 tells the

00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:23.200
 Jews

00:38:23.200 --> 00:38:23.440
 that it

00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:23.559
 was

00:38:23.559 --> 00:38:23.860
 Jesus

00:38:23.860 --> 00:38:24.840
 who

00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:24.960
 had

00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:25.160
 healed

00:38:25.160 --> 00:38:25.360
 him

00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:26.140
 I'm

00:38:26.140 --> 00:38:26.680
 speculating

00:38:26.680 --> 00:38:27.039
 a bit

00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:27.500
 at that

00:38:27.500 --> 00:38:27.820
 point

00:38:27.820 --> 00:38:28.140
 but

00:38:28.140 --> 00:38:28.380
 it

00:38:28.380 --> 00:38:28.519
 would

00:38:28.519 --> 00:38:28.820
 seem

00:38:28.820 --> 00:38:29.000
 that

00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:29.079
 he

00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:29.200
 would

00:38:29.200 --> 00:38:29.340
 want

00:38:29.340 --> 00:38:29.460
 to

00:38:29.460 --> 00:38:30.140
 protect

00:38:30.140 --> 00:38:30.760
 the

00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:31.160
 Christ

00:38:31.160 --> 00:38:31.920
 from

00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:32.220
 these

00:38:32.220 --> 00:38:32.519
 people

00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:32.900
 looking

00:38:32.900 --> 00:38:33.920
 to

00:38:33.920 --> 00:38:34.360
 persecute

00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:34.539
 him

00:38:34.539 --> 00:38:35.420
 I

00:38:35.420 --> 00:38:35.579
 think

00:38:35.579 --> 00:38:35.760
 this

00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:36.000
 because

00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:36.880
 right after

00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:37.099
 that

00:38:37.099 --> 00:38:37.360
 John

00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:37.559
 says

00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:37.679
 in

00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:37.840
 verse

00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:38.300
 16

00:38:38.300 --> 00:38:38.639
 and

00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:39.000
 this

00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:39.219
 was

00:38:39.219 --> 00:38:39.739
 why

00:38:39.739 --> 00:38:40.000
 the

00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:40.380
 Jews

00:38:40.380 --> 00:38:40.719
 were

00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:41.579
 persecuting

00:38:41.579 --> 00:38:42.599
 Jesus

00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:43.460
 because

00:38:43.460 --> 00:38:43.760
 he was

00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:43.960
 doing

00:38:43.960 --> 00:38:44.179
 these

00:38:44.179 --> 00:38:44.500
 things

00:38:44.500 --> 00:38:45.400
 these

00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:45.840
 miraculous

00:38:45.840 --> 00:38:46.219
 things

00:38:46.219 --> 00:38:46.420
 these

00:38:46.420 --> 00:38:46.880
 wonderful

00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:47.400
 restorative

00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:47.639
 things

00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:47.920
 he was

00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:48.380
 doing

00:38:48.380 --> 00:38:49.039
 these

00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:49.500
 things

00:38:49.500 --> 00:38:50.539
 on

00:38:50.539 --> 00:38:51.739
 the

00:38:51.739 --> 00:38:52.099
 Sabbath

00:38:52.099 --> 00:38:52.880
 they

00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:53.900
 elevated

00:38:53.900 --> 00:38:55.079
 their

00:38:55.079 --> 00:38:55.980
 tradition

00:38:55.980 --> 00:38:57.900
 above

00:38:57.900 --> 00:38:58.719
 Jesus

00:38:58.719 --> 00:38:59.920
 himself

00:38:59.920 --> 00:39:01.360
 they didn't

00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:01.719
 seek to

00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:02.179
 understand

00:39:02.179 --> 00:39:02.460
 him

00:39:02.460 --> 00:39:02.840
 they didn't

00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:03.199
 seek to

00:39:03.199 --> 00:39:03.380
 know

00:39:03.380 --> 00:39:03.719
 what it

00:39:03.719 --> 00:39:03.980
 was

00:39:03.980 --> 00:39:04.260
 he

00:39:04.260 --> 00:39:04.500
 was

00:39:04.500 --> 00:39:05.599
 teaching

00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:06.820
 he

00:39:06.820 --> 00:39:06.980
 was

00:39:06.980 --> 00:39:07.679
 infringing

00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:07.980
 upon

00:39:07.980 --> 00:39:08.559
 their

00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:09.500
 system

00:39:09.500 --> 00:39:09.780
 and

00:39:09.780 --> 00:39:09.940
 they

00:39:09.940 --> 00:39:10.440
 had

00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:11.420
 to

00:39:11.420 --> 00:39:11.800
 stop

00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:12.000
 him

00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:12.699
 we

00:39:12.699 --> 00:39:12.860
 see

00:39:12.860 --> 00:39:13.079
 this

00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:13.440
 first

00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:14.800
 opportunity

00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:15.280
 of that

00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:15.579
 right

00:39:15.579 --> 00:39:15.920
 here

00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:16.559
 in

00:39:16.559 --> 00:39:16.860
 John

00:39:16.860 --> 00:39:17.820
 chapter

00:39:17.820 --> 00:39:18.280
 5

00:39:18.280 --> 00:39:19.699
 and

00:39:19.699 --> 00:39:19.820
 so

00:39:19.820 --> 00:39:20.019
 we

00:39:20.019 --> 00:39:20.179
 don't

00:39:20.179 --> 00:39:20.360
 see

00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:20.659
 the

00:39:20.659 --> 00:39:21.360
 confrontation

00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:21.940
 we

00:39:21.940 --> 00:39:22.320
 can

00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:22.480
 see

00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:22.579
 it

00:39:22.579 --> 00:39:22.679
 in

00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:22.820
 some

00:39:22.820 --> 00:39:22.900
 of

00:39:22.900 --> 00:39:22.960
 the

00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:23.139
 other

00:39:23.980 --> 00:39:24.139

00:39:24.139 --> 00:39:24.380
 here

 verse

00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:25.139

00:39:25.139 --> 00:39:25.420
 we

00:39:25.420 --> 00:39:25.559
 just

00:39:25.559 --> 00:39:25.719
 see

00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:25.860
 a

00:39:25.860 --> 00:39:26.320
 response

 to

 them

00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:27.820
 says

 my

00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:28.980
 father

00:39:28.980 --> 00:39:29.300
 is

00:39:29.300 --> 00:39:29.719

 I

00:39:31.539 --> 00:39:32.480
 am

00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:33.519
 working

00:39:33.519 --> 00:39:35.360
 God

00:39:35.360 --> 00:39:36.300
 has not

00:39:36.300 --> 00:39:36.719
 ceased

00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:37.400
 working

00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:37.860
 he's

00:39:37.860 --> 00:39:38.280
 continuing

00:39:38.280 --> 00:39:38.759
 to be

00:39:38.759 --> 00:39:39.559
 merciful

00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:40.400
 in this

00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:40.719
 world

00:39:40.719 --> 00:39:40.860

00:39:40.860 --> 00:39:41.039
 Jesus

00:39:41.039 --> 00:39:41.400
 says

00:39:41.400 --> 00:39:42.039
 and

 me

00:39:45.559 --> 00:39:45.960
 I

00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:46.199
 am

00:39:46.199 --> 00:39:46.780
 the

 anointed

00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:47.759
 one

 both

00:39:49.780 --> 00:39:50.800

00:39:50.800 --> 00:39:51.880
 he's

00:39:52.900 --> 00:39:53.139

00:39:53.139 --> 00:39:53.320
 not

00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:53.960
 breaking

00:39:53.960 --> 00:39:54.920
 the

 their

00:39:56.579 --> 00:39:57.380
 terms

00:39:57.380 --> 00:39:58.059
 doing

00:39:58.059 --> 00:39:58.199
 it

00:39:58.199 --> 00:39:58.340

00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:23.400
 obey

00:42:23.400 --> 00:42:23.820
 the

00:42:23.820 --> 00:42:24.160
 Bible

00:42:24.160 --> 00:42:24.880
 we

00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:25.019
 are

00:42:25.019 --> 00:42:25.260
 so

00:42:25.260 --> 00:42:25.680
 apt

00:42:25.680 --> 00:42:25.960
 to

00:42:25.960 --> 00:42:26.340
 pile

00:42:26.340 --> 00:42:26.740
 on

00:42:26.740 --> 00:42:27.760
 extras

00:42:27.760 --> 00:42:28.700
 to

00:42:28.700 --> 00:42:28.920
 say

00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:29.280
 my

00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:29.740
 obedience

00:42:29.740 --> 00:42:29.920
 to

00:42:29.920 --> 00:42:30.160
 scripture

00:42:30.160 --> 00:42:30.500
 should

00:42:30.500 --> 00:42:30.860
 look

00:42:30.860 --> 00:42:31.480
 exactly

00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:31.720
 like

00:42:31.720 --> 00:42:32.059
 your

00:42:32.059 --> 00:42:32.500
 obedience

00:42:32.500 --> 00:42:32.720
 to

00:42:32.720 --> 00:42:33.039
 scripture

00:42:33.039 --> 00:42:33.660
 and

00:42:33.660 --> 00:42:33.840
 then

00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:34.039
 the

00:42:34.039 --> 00:42:34.740
 call

00:42:34.740 --> 00:42:35.160
 down

00:42:35.160 --> 00:42:35.440
 and

00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:36.099
 be

00:42:36.099 --> 00:42:36.720
 judgmental

00:42:36.720 --> 00:42:36.860
 of

00:42:36.860 --> 00:42:37.320
 others

00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:38.000
 the

00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:38.240
 Bible

00:42:38.240 --> 00:42:38.920
 clearly

00:42:38.920 --> 00:42:39.320
 says

00:42:39.320 --> 00:42:39.559
 some

00:42:39.559 --> 00:42:39.880
 things

00:42:39.880 --> 00:42:40.019
 and

00:42:40.019 --> 00:42:40.099
 I'm

00:42:40.099 --> 00:42:40.240
 not

00:42:40.240 --> 00:42:40.539
 talking

00:42:40.539 --> 00:42:40.760
 about

00:42:40.760 --> 00:42:41.019
 those

00:42:41.019 --> 00:42:41.400
 things

00:42:41.400 --> 00:42:41.880
 I'm

00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:41.900
 talking

00:42:41.900 --> 00:42:41.980
 about

00:42:41.980 --> 00:42:42.119
 the

00:42:42.119 --> 00:42:42.360
 things

00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:42.539
 we

00:42:42.539 --> 00:42:43.059
 add

00:42:43.059 --> 00:42:43.519
 on

00:42:43.519 --> 00:42:44.200
 around

00:42:44.200 --> 00:42:44.559
 it

00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:45.860
 it

00:42:45.860 --> 00:42:46.000
 is

00:42:46.000 --> 00:42:46.440
 possible

00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:47.420
 to

00:42:47.420 --> 00:42:48.000
 know

00:42:48.000 --> 00:42:48.599
 scripture

00:42:48.599 --> 00:42:50.300
 keep

00:42:50.300 --> 00:42:50.860
 traditions

00:42:50.860 --> 00:42:52.019
 and to

00:42:52.019 --> 00:42:52.380
 miss

00:42:52.380 --> 00:42:53.039
 Jesus

00:42:53.039 --> 00:42:54.340
 entirely

00:42:54.340 --> 00:42:56.059
 seek

00:42:56.059 --> 00:42:57.140
 the

00:42:57.140 --> 00:42:57.340
 Lord

00:42:57.340 --> 00:42:57.559
 of the

00:42:57.559 --> 00:42:57.800
 Sabbath

00:42:57.800 --> 00:42:58.599
 who

00:42:58.599 --> 00:42:59.019
 gives

00:42:59.019 --> 00:42:59.280
 to

00:42:59.280 --> 00:42:59.720
 us

00:42:59.720 --> 00:43:00.480
 true

00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:01.940
 rest

00:43:01.940 --> 00:43:03.559
 and

00:43:03.559 --> 00:43:03.940
 lastly

00:43:03.940 --> 00:43:04.559
 and I've

00:43:04.559 --> 00:43:04.860
 said this

00:43:04.860 --> 00:43:05.380
 recently

00:43:05.380 --> 00:43:06.340
 but I'll

00:43:06.340 --> 00:43:06.640
 just say

00:43:06.640 --> 00:43:07.079
 it again

00:43:07.079 --> 00:43:08.920
 bow

00:43:08.920 --> 00:43:09.300
 before

00:43:09.300 --> 00:43:09.519
 the

00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:09.680
 Son

00:43:09.680 --> 00:43:09.800
 of

00:43:09.800 --> 00:43:10.079
 God

00:43:10.079 --> 00:43:11.620
 Jesus

00:43:11.620 --> 00:43:11.980
 is not

00:43:11.980 --> 00:43:12.440
 just a

00:43:12.440 --> 00:43:12.720
 healer

00:43:12.720 --> 00:43:12.860
 of

00:43:12.860 --> 00:43:13.240
 bodies

00:43:13.240 --> 00:43:13.620
 he is

00:43:13.620 --> 00:43:13.800
 the

00:43:13.800 --> 00:43:14.320
 eternal

00:43:14.320 --> 00:43:15.480
 Son

00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:16.559
 equal

00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:16.920
 with the

00:43:16.920 --> 00:43:17.180
 Father

00:43:17.180 --> 00:43:17.440
 who

00:43:17.440 --> 00:43:17.920
 gives

00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:18.980
 life

00:43:18.980 --> 00:43:19.800
 to

00:43:19.800 --> 00:43:19.960
 the

00:43:19.960 --> 00:43:20.300
 dead

00:43:20.300 --> 00:43:21.940
 neutrality

00:43:21.940 --> 00:43:22.559
 is

00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:23.599
 impossible

00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:24.860
 you

00:43:24.860 --> 00:43:25.240
 must

00:43:25.240 --> 00:43:25.579
 answer

00:43:25.579 --> 00:43:25.740
 the

00:43:25.740 --> 00:43:26.099
 question

00:43:26.099 --> 00:43:26.559
 who

00:43:26.559 --> 00:43:27.280
 is

00:43:27.280 --> 00:43:28.360
 Jesus

00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:29.599
 I hope

00:43:29.599 --> 00:43:29.980
 you have

00:43:29.980 --> 00:43:30.500
 already

00:43:30.500 --> 00:43:31.320
 or will

00:43:31.320 --> 00:43:31.880
 for the

00:43:31.880 --> 00:43:32.039
 first

00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:32.340
 time

00:43:32.340 --> 00:43:33.280
 call

00:43:33.280 --> 00:43:33.559
 him

00:43:33.559 --> 00:43:34.579
 Lord

00:43:34.579 --> 00:43:35.559
 let's

00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:35.699
 pray

00:43:35.699 --> 00:43:36.039
 together
