00:00:00.780 --> 00:00:06.100
 Father, in your word, you tell us that the Holy Spirit will lead us.

00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:08.640
 Father, you know our hearts.

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:16.500
 You know how skilled we are at quenching the Holy Spirit and ignoring the Holy Spirit.

00:00:17.580 --> 00:00:20.420
 And so, Father, we ask that in your mercy and in your kindness,

00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:26.980
 that your Holy Spirit would move in a mighty and powerful way as we read your word and think upon it.

00:00:26.980 --> 00:00:31.399
 Father, please, in your mercy, pour out your Holy Spirit upon us.

00:00:32.020 --> 00:00:33.859
 Lead us by your Holy Spirit.

00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:36.899
 And this we ask in Jesus' name. Amen.

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:38.520
 Please be seated.

00:00:40.820 --> 00:00:50.120
 So, yesterday I was in a Starbucks trying to do some more work on my sermon, Get It Ready for Today.

00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:56.200
 And I had sort of a shocking experience happen to me in politically correct postmodern Canada.

00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:58.080
 in a pleasant suburb.

00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:02.660
 I'm sitting at the window looking out of the parking lot.

00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:08.439
 And an obvious, a young man, I don't know, he probably looked like he was around 20,

00:01:08.540 --> 00:01:11.400
 but he was obviously mentally handicapped.

00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:13.980
 Like, obviously mentally handicapped.

00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:15.200
 And he was quite plump.

00:01:16.060 --> 00:01:18.700
 And he gets out of the car with his mom.

00:01:18.700 --> 00:01:22.380
 And as he goes around the car, his mom's walking a bit faster.

00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:27.719
 And as he tries to go to catch up to his mom, I guess his pants were drooping way down.

00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:34.200
 So, he was sort of doing this, like, waddling type run and trying to grab his pants and pull his pants up at the same time.

00:01:34.659 --> 00:01:36.100
 And that's not the shocking thing.

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:40.480
 You know, many of us have to pull our pants up.

00:01:41.140 --> 00:01:42.600
 It's not particularly shocking.

00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:49.759
 What was shocking is that I was sitting beside a woman and her mother, and they made fun of the man and laughed at him.

00:01:50.459 --> 00:01:52.060
 Like, it was actually really surprising.

00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:54.419
 They said, look at that retard over there.

00:01:54.579 --> 00:01:55.419
 Look how fat he is.

00:01:55.479 --> 00:01:56.899
 Look at him waddle, pull up his pants.

00:01:57.060 --> 00:01:58.259
 And they're just going back and forth.

00:01:58.419 --> 00:01:59.239
 This is in Ottawa.

00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:01.519
 It was pretty shocking.

00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:13.620
 I felt both embarrassed for the young man and angry at what this, you know, probably looked like she was, like, in her mid to late 20s.

00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.780
 And the mom looked like she was probably around 50.

00:02:15.780 --> 00:02:28.580
 And making fun of this, which I thought was a really, in many ways, a tender scene of this young guy, obviously mentally handicapped, rushing to catch up to his mother.

00:02:29.060 --> 00:02:33.860
 And how many 20-year-old men reach out their hand to hold their mom's hand while they go into a store?

00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:35.979
 I thought it was really touching.

00:02:36.620 --> 00:02:44.460
 But it brought derision and mockery and laughter from these two women who were beside me.

00:02:44.460 --> 00:02:50.300
 And in many ways, this story, I think, shows a lot of what goes on in our culture.

00:02:51.280 --> 00:03:03.640
 That, you know, even though there's a lot of politically correct veneer that goes on, there's still mockery and cruel judgment made about relationships.

00:03:04.620 --> 00:03:13.580
 And even though there's a veneer of politeness and we know how to keep our thoughts private to ourselves and maybe just share them with our family or our friends,

00:03:13.580 --> 00:03:20.060
 there's just this mocking spirit which is still present in many of us, if we're honest.

00:03:20.880 --> 00:03:29.420
 And, you know, this story shows both the fact that, you know, many of us would probably long to have a relationship with our parents

00:03:29.420 --> 00:03:32.660
 where we could just still be that trusting and loving with them.

00:03:32.659 --> 00:03:38.139
 And yet, at the same time, we also know that there's mocking, just this whole combination of a desire for it.

00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:45.460
 Like, that young man had a secure relationship with his mom that many of us don't have with our own mothers or with maybe our kids.

00:03:45.460 --> 00:03:51.439
 And everything about this story, the desire for security and intimacy, mocking judgments.

00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:58.620
 Anyway, I just sort of thought it's a lot of that stuff is just going on all in this brief little thing that took one minute,

00:03:59.040 --> 00:04:03.900
 one and a half minutes for the guy to walk with his mom into Mark's work warehouse.

00:04:05.340 --> 00:04:08.700
 And so the Bible actually has a lot of wisdom to say about this.

00:04:08.699 --> 00:04:13.579
 And it would be a great help for me and a great help to you if you'd open your Bibles to Romans chapter 8.

00:04:14.399 --> 00:04:17.740
 And Romans chapter 8, verse 14, and if you're a guest here,

00:04:18.219 --> 00:04:22.819
 one of the things that we do in Church of the Messiah is we want God's Word to form us as a congregation.

00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:28.680
 And so we preach through books of the Bible, and we're going through Romans, the book of Romans.

00:04:28.939 --> 00:04:32.719
 We started back in September, took a break over Christmas, and we're back in it.

00:04:32.779 --> 00:04:35.060
 And today we're up to Romans 8, 14.

00:04:35.060 --> 00:04:36.980
 And it would be a great help if you follow along.

00:04:37.060 --> 00:04:38.300
 Let's read the first few verses.

00:04:39.180 --> 00:04:44.000
 And, you know, it's in the middle of a big section, so it's going to be a bit surprising.

00:04:44.899 --> 00:04:54.879
 But it's really, really a precious thing that addresses our desire for security and attachment and belonging

00:04:54.879 --> 00:05:00.300
 in a world where cruel judgments are made and where we often make even cruel judgments about ourselves.

00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:02.000
 And here's how it goes.

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.180
 Romans 8, 14 and following.

00:05:05.060 --> 00:05:09.040
 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:14.620
 I'm going to explain in a moment why I didn't say sons and daughters and why I didn't say child of God

00:05:14.620 --> 00:05:17.800
 and why the version of the Bible that I'm using says sons of God.

00:05:18.139 --> 00:05:20.740
 It's not being sexist and hateful of women.

00:05:21.180 --> 00:05:22.660
 I'll explain it later on.

00:05:23.300 --> 00:05:24.019
 I'll start reading again.

00:05:24.100 --> 00:05:24.680
 Verse 14.

00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:54.680


00:05:54.680 --> 00:06:00.500
 This next verse is a verse that many people have memorized.

00:06:01.220 --> 00:06:03.540
 And it's often on cups and cards.

00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:04.519
 And it's for good reasons.

00:06:04.660 --> 00:06:06.560
 It's a very, very beautiful and powerful verse.

00:06:07.100 --> 00:06:07.879
 And it goes like this.

00:06:07.939 --> 00:06:08.540
 Verse 18.

00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:19.120
 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:33.959
 Now, I know the passage goes to 25, but we just want to pause here for a second because, you know, that verse 14 is sort of a bit of an odd text for all who are led by the Spirit of God or sons of God.

00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:41.859
 It's an odd text in the sense that I've heard talks given on this, and they're very, very good talks.

00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:43.879
 But the problem is that they're wrong.

00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.719
 It's actually not what the Bible text is actually describing.

00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:54.519
 One of the things that my poor children have suffered under all their life is that on our holidays, we go to church.

00:06:55.859 --> 00:07:03.899
 And just after I—as I was preparing for ordination, I noticed that a lot of ministers when they were on holiday didn't go to church.

00:07:04.459 --> 00:07:10.719
 And I didn't want my kids to come away with the impression that Dad only went to church when he was up front.

00:07:11.620 --> 00:07:19.039
 And if Dad couldn't be up front, the center of attention, then, like, why bother going?

00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:26.199
 I wanted my kids to have a sense that I went to church because I was a Christian, not because I wanted to be up front.

00:07:26.919 --> 00:07:30.639
 So we would go to—we go to church on our holidays, you know, these beautiful August days.

00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:37.019
 And I don't know, I'm not trying to make any of you feel guilty, but you're all not going to church, and we trudge off to church.

00:07:37.419 --> 00:07:38.139
 We don't trudge.

00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:38.519
 We go.

00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:40.259
 I mean, maybe sometimes we trudge.

00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:44.360
 Anyway, I have to be honest, right, up front?

00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:51.939
 But so, anyway, so one of the things is I—so often after the service, my wife or my kids ask me what I thought of the service or what I thought of the sermon.

00:07:52.580 --> 00:07:55.160
 And I have to always—I try to be very, very careful about this.

00:07:55.240 --> 00:08:00.520
 One of the things I try to do, and I ask you to do this for me, especially as I'm going through the Book of Romans,

00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:07.039
 and as I shared in many other weeks, I find the Book of Romans unbelievably stretching,

00:08:07.039 --> 00:08:13.439
 and I never feel as if I'm going to actually be able to get us into the text in the way that it deserves.

00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:14.519
 It's just very stretching.

00:08:15.299 --> 00:08:19.859
 And so one of the things I do when I'm away on holidays and I'm listening to somebody preach is I pray for them.

00:08:20.819 --> 00:08:23.439
 And in fact, the worse the sermon is, the more I pray.

00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:29.560
 Not so I can stop listening, but just because I—you know, I know what it's like to be up front trying to do your very best

00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:33.019
 and maybe not doing a very good job with your very best.

00:08:33.100 --> 00:08:33.820
 So I pray.

00:08:34.419 --> 00:08:37.480
 Anyway, there's this one Sunday that I'm—it's sort of irrelevant.

00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:39.600
 We went to this church.

00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:42.519
 We're going home, and my wife asked me what I thought of the sermon.

00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.100
 And in that particular Sunday, I had very definite thoughts.

00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.059
 And I try to be polite, and I—you know, it's only my wife and my kids.

00:08:50.059 --> 00:08:54.619
 I said, well, he said a lot of really, really, really helpful Christian things.

00:08:56.259 --> 00:09:00.539
 Unfortunately, the text said the exact opposite of everything that he said in the sermon.

00:09:01.219 --> 00:09:04.459
 That if you just actually read the very next verses,

00:09:05.439 --> 00:09:08.059
 because it was a sermon about how if you have a vision of Jesus,

00:09:08.199 --> 00:09:10.259
 how it completely and utterly transforms your life,

00:09:10.299 --> 00:09:12.719
 and he uses the story in the Gospels of the Transfiguration.

00:09:13.199 --> 00:09:16.619
 But if you actually go on and you read right after the Transfiguration,

00:09:16.620 --> 00:09:21.139
 it didn't transform any of the disciples' life.

00:09:21.620 --> 00:09:29.120
 They were just as clueless, incompetent, ornery, backstabbing, fighting as they were before.

00:09:30.060 --> 00:09:31.960
 So I said, you know, he had really good things to say,

00:09:32.019 --> 00:09:33.500
 but that text actually says the opposite.

00:09:33.659 --> 00:09:36.879
 And then my wife said I was being too picky, which was probably correct,

00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:40.919
 because most people just went away with lots of very, very helpful thoughts

00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:44.039
 about wanting to see Jesus, which is very good.

00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:47.179
 But anyway, so here we have, so we're back up here.

00:09:47.899 --> 00:09:52.240
 Actually, why don't we put up a verse, no, no, we won't put it up yet.

00:09:52.539 --> 00:09:55.199
 So here we have this, this passage begins, verse 14,

00:09:55.319 --> 00:09:59.120
 for all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

00:10:00.219 --> 00:10:05.120
 And I've heard lots of people talk about how we go to God because he gives us guidance.

00:10:06.199 --> 00:10:08.439
 Well, actually, that's not what this text is talking about at all.

00:10:08.500 --> 00:10:12.139
 That's true, God does guide us, but that's not what this text is talking about

00:10:12.139 --> 00:10:15.220
 in terms of whether we should go to graduate school or, you know,

00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.039
 whether we should date this young woman or this young guy or whatever.

00:10:18.179 --> 00:10:21.220
 That's not actually, there's other texts about this, but that's not what this is saying.

00:10:21.620 --> 00:10:27.500
 We have to sort of go earlier in the text to see the context about what the text is actually saying.

00:10:27.539 --> 00:10:30.620
 And it's telling us something very, very, very far more glorious

00:10:30.620 --> 00:10:34.080
 than whether or not God will actually give us some insight

00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:36.179
 about whether we should go to graduate school or not.

00:10:36.179 --> 00:10:39.099
 So if you go up to the very beginning of chapter 8,

00:10:39.339 --> 00:10:42.120
 in fact, Andrew, could you put Romans 8.1 up last week?

00:10:42.179 --> 00:10:46.559
 Those of you who were here last week, I just tried to hammer away at this one text.

00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:47.719
 Oh, Andrew's not here.

00:10:48.739 --> 00:10:50.959
 Adam, could you put up Romans 8.1? No?

00:10:52.659 --> 00:10:53.299
 Oh, yeah.

00:10:54.539 --> 00:10:54.939
 Okay.

00:10:56.299 --> 00:10:59.239
 That's, well, here, if you have your Bibles, here's how Romans 8.1 goes.

00:10:59.239 --> 00:11:03.839
 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:08.000
 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

00:11:08.160 --> 00:11:10.600
 And what Paul is doing, oh, there it is.

00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:11.420
 You found it.

00:11:11.920 --> 00:11:12.860
 Could you all say this with me?

00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:15.440
 Because it's just good sometimes to say the Bible together out loud, isn't it?

00:11:16.040 --> 00:11:21.680
 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:24.600
 And it says, you know, there is therefore now.

00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:27.920
 And so Paul is sort of summarizing all, a lot of what he's talked about

00:11:27.920 --> 00:11:29.620
 for the first seven chapters of the book.

00:11:30.340 --> 00:11:32.720
 And he's talking about how there's no condemnation.

00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:34.620
 And in verse 2, it continues like this.

00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:37.340
 This is going to be relevant for us to understand verse 14.

00:11:38.259 --> 00:11:42.399
 For the law of the Spirit of life, verse 2,

00:11:42.560 --> 00:11:46.360
 has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:50.720
 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do,

00:11:51.300 --> 00:11:55.420
 by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh.

00:11:55.419 --> 00:12:00.519
 And for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh.

00:12:01.579 --> 00:12:07.019
 And what this text is saying, it's a very, very powerful type of image.

00:12:07.579 --> 00:12:13.659
 It says how the Holy Spirit leads people to Jesus to this point where when they put their

00:12:13.659 --> 00:12:20.699
 faith and trust in faith and trust in Jesus, there is no condemnation that comes from God that will ever,

00:12:22.259 --> 00:12:26.019
 you will never have any condemnation for the entire rest of your life.

00:12:26.019 --> 00:12:34.620
 And in this text, as I talked about last week, I'm just giving you a brief reminder of it for those of you who are here.

00:12:35.100 --> 00:12:37.439
 In this text, there's this very, very powerful image.

00:12:37.620 --> 00:12:40.899
 It's, you know, in the flesh and for sin and all that.

00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:44.220
 It's the language of the Old Testament sacrifices.

00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:49.180
 And some of you remember, I reminded you last week, the way the Gospel of John begins,

00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:56.940
 like in terms of the narrative bits, is when John the Baptist sees Jesus walking by and he points to Jesus and says,

00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.639
 Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:00.320
 It says it twice.

00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.160
 Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

00:13:03.860 --> 00:13:09.840
 And all of the Paul's readers who were Jewish, and they would have understood the Old Testament thing,

00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.600
 but actually pagans also did sacrifices, so they would have this as well,

00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:18.500
 that in sacrifices, what would happen is that you put your hands on the hand of the animal,

00:13:18.659 --> 00:13:22.800
 and in Jewish law, the animal had to be pure and without blemish.

00:13:22.940 --> 00:13:26.180
 And we all have a, there's an interesting thing in the National Post this week,

00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:31.480
 that one of the things that we don't like about cruelty to animals is that there's this sense of innocence around animals.

00:13:32.560 --> 00:13:36.800
 You know, to hurt an animal and hurt a young child, not that an animal and a young child are equivalent,

00:13:36.800 --> 00:13:42.700
 but that there's this innocence about them that just really strikes us at wrong at a far deeper level.

00:13:42.700 --> 00:13:46.700
 And so there's this animal without blemish, it's perfect, it's innocent,

00:13:47.420 --> 00:13:51.960
 and the person, the man or the woman, puts their hands on the head of the animal,

00:13:52.280 --> 00:13:55.660
 and there's this image then, it's being enacted in front of you,

00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:59.860
 that this, the, all of the things that I've done that are wrong

00:13:59.860 --> 00:14:02.759
 are being laid on the head of the animal.

00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:10.259
 And then the animal that is pure and innocent, its purity and innocence becomes mine.

00:14:11.100 --> 00:14:14.460
 And then when the animal is sacrificed and dies,

00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:21.819
 it's the animal, in a sense, paying the price in my place for the things that I've done that are wrong.

00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.299
 And I receive the purity and the innocence of the animal.

00:14:26.299 --> 00:14:31.799
 And for pagans and for Jewish people at the time,

00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:34.959
 they understood that you had to keep doing this over and over and over and over again.

00:14:35.059 --> 00:14:38.259
 And what Paul is summarizing here, which he's talked about in the book of Romans,

00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:45.079
 is what if God himself provided a true and greater lamb?

00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:52.079
 What if God himself, in and through the person of his son,

00:14:52.359 --> 00:14:54.740
 provides a true and greater lamb?

00:14:54.740 --> 00:14:59.259
 And so Paul is trying to get them to understand this unbelievable truth.

00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:01.340
 The Holy Spirit leads you to Jesus,

00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.039
 leads you to that point in life where you put your hands up, so to speak,

00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:07.799
 maybe just in your heart, maybe some of you even with your hands,

00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:10.720
 and you put your hands out and you call out to Jesus

00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:13.519
 to have a place in your life, to be your savior.

00:15:13.620 --> 00:15:16.680
 And you don't entirely know what it is that you're asking for when you ask this.

00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:18.279
 And you pour out your heart.

00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:20.200
 You say, Jesus, I really need you.

00:15:20.299 --> 00:15:23.060
 I don't know how to put it, but I see whatever it is in my friends.

00:15:23.059 --> 00:15:25.819
 I just have this sense of the Holy Spirit prompt me.

00:15:25.899 --> 00:15:27.500
 I put your hands out to Jesus.

00:15:28.259 --> 00:15:34.279
 And Jesus crosses the infinite distance from God to us and takes our hands.

00:15:34.659 --> 00:15:39.579
 And what Paul is telling us here is that in this remarkable moment,

00:15:39.699 --> 00:15:43.779
 there is an exchange that the Holy Spirit accomplishes in our lives

00:15:43.779 --> 00:15:47.879
 that is beyond what we knew or what we expected when we put our hands out to Jesus,

00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:50.240
 that Jesus actually reached down.

00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:52.120
 He takes our hands.

00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:54.860
 And when we put our hands on Jesus,

00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:58.720
 it is like you were putting your hands on that innocent lamb.

00:15:59.019 --> 00:16:01.899
 And all of that which you have done, which is wrong,

00:16:02.259 --> 00:16:05.779
 and deserves mockery and condemnation and justice,

00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:07.799
 and all of that is put on Jesus,

00:16:08.379 --> 00:16:11.980
 and the purity and innocence of Jesus is given to you.

00:16:11.980 --> 00:16:14.220
 And you don't necessarily know that at the moment,

00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:17.240
 but that is what the Holy Spirit does in your life.

00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:24.360
 And because he is God, the Son of God,

00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:26.159
 the true and perfect lamb,

00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:30.759
 and God knows every single thing there is to know about you,

00:16:30.820 --> 00:16:33.840
 he knows everything about you from the moment of your conception

00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.500
 to the moment of what for you is your future, your death,

00:16:36.500 --> 00:16:38.200
 with nothing left over,

00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:41.360
 all of that is placed on Jesus.

00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:44.580
 And all of Jesus' purity and innocence

00:16:44.580 --> 00:16:46.960
 and standing before God is given to you.

00:16:47.379 --> 00:16:49.259
 And so for the rest of your life,

00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:50.360
 when you are in Jesus,

00:16:50.860 --> 00:16:55.799
 there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

00:16:56.460 --> 00:16:56.799
 None.

00:16:57.860 --> 00:16:58.620
 At all.

00:16:59.559 --> 00:16:59.879
 Ever.

00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:05.339
 And the Holy Spirit leads you to Jesus.

00:17:06.500 --> 00:17:10.440
 It leads you to a faith in Jesus where that happens.

00:17:12.859 --> 00:17:15.019
 And so it's within this context,

00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:18.240
 everything in the rest of Romans 8 is all under that,

00:17:18.299 --> 00:17:19.099
 not the shadow,

00:17:19.299 --> 00:17:23.299
 but the bright light of this profound truth

00:17:23.299 --> 00:17:29.039
 for even the worst person who calls out to Jesus.

00:17:30.579 --> 00:17:34.480
 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:36.720
 And then to explain what he means by that,

00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:39.480
 it's sort of encapsulating all of Romans,

00:17:40.120 --> 00:17:43.319
 for the law of the spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus

00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:44.660
 from the law of sin and death.

00:17:45.420 --> 00:17:47.079
 And here the word law,

00:17:48.420 --> 00:17:50.500
 and so the version of the Bible that I'm using,

00:17:50.579 --> 00:17:53.620
 some of your versions probably say principle or logic or reason

00:17:53.620 --> 00:17:54.640
 or something like that.

00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:58.580
 One of the things that this version of the Bible does

00:17:58.580 --> 00:18:01.860
 is if there's the same word in the original language,

00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:03.080
 it likes to keep using it.

00:18:03.460 --> 00:18:04.740
 But sometimes, as we know,

00:18:04.860 --> 00:18:07.160
 the same word can have different meanings.

00:18:07.540 --> 00:18:08.480
 Here's an example.

00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:13.420
 I stopped playing bridge to drive across the bridge

00:18:13.420 --> 00:18:17.339
 to go to the bridge before getting my bridge work done.

00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:21.140
 Bridge, a game.

00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:23.940
 Bridge that goes over a water or something like that

00:18:23.940 --> 00:18:24.819
 or another road.

00:18:25.220 --> 00:18:26.819
 The bridge, which is a church in Ottawa,

00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:28.640
 and bridge work, stuff done to your mouth.

00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:31.819
 Same word, okay, but slightly different meanings.

00:18:31.819 --> 00:18:34.599
 And here, in this particular case,

00:18:34.819 --> 00:18:37.819
 law means sort of, in a sense,

00:18:37.899 --> 00:18:40.519
 the intention behind the power,

00:18:40.639 --> 00:18:42.279
 the reason behind the power,

00:18:42.399 --> 00:18:44.059
 the goal behind the power,

00:18:44.579 --> 00:18:46.879
 the logic to the power.

00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:51.279
 And it makes sense because the Holy Spirit is a person.

00:18:52.859 --> 00:18:54.980
 In a sense, electricity or light,

00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:56.220
 it has no purpose.

00:18:56.939 --> 00:18:58.179
 I mean, it doesn't have any goal.

00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:00.220
 It just does things.

00:19:00.220 --> 00:19:01.220
 It's impersonal.

00:19:01.220 --> 00:19:04.380
 But the Holy Spirit is not like the force

00:19:04.380 --> 00:19:06.740
 and isn't just energy.

00:19:06.860 --> 00:19:08.180
 The Holy Spirit is a person.

00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:09.640
 Like, if you just jump down,

00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:11.240
 just before we come to verse 14,

00:19:11.299 --> 00:19:12.220
 look at verse 9.

00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:16.620
 But actually, could you put up the point for me?

00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:19.140
 The first point.

00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:20.200
 In every Christian,

00:19:21.900 --> 00:19:22.279
 there we go.

00:19:22.380 --> 00:19:23.480
 In every Christian,

00:19:24.180 --> 00:19:27.140
 the personal God is personally present

00:19:27.140 --> 00:19:29.059
 in the person of the Holy Spirit.

00:19:29.059 --> 00:19:31.720
 In every Christian,

00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:33.960
 the personal God is personally present

00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:35.319
 in the person of the Holy Spirit.

00:19:35.379 --> 00:19:37.359
 And that helps to explain this language.

00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:38.519
 Look at verse 9 and 11.

00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:41.099
 You, however, are not in the flesh,

00:19:41.159 --> 00:19:43.179
 but in the Spirit,

00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:47.559
 if, in fact, the Spirit of God dwells in you.

00:19:48.539 --> 00:19:50.399
 Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ

00:19:50.399 --> 00:19:51.539
 does not belong to him.

00:19:51.539 --> 00:19:53.099
 But if Christ is in you,

00:19:53.779 --> 00:19:56.259
 although the body is dead because of sin,

00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:58.599
 the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

00:19:58.779 --> 00:20:01.139
 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead

00:20:01.139 --> 00:20:02.019
 dwells in you,

00:20:02.500 --> 00:20:04.079
 he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead

00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:06.039
 will also give life to your mortal bodies

00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:07.680
 through his Spirit who dwells in you.

00:20:08.159 --> 00:20:08.700
 So you see,

00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:09.680
 it's this language of,

00:20:10.399 --> 00:20:12.159
 the Bible is always doing this,

00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:14.539
 that I am in the Holy Spirit

00:20:14.539 --> 00:20:15.960
 and the Holy Spirit is in me.

00:20:16.019 --> 00:20:17.759
 But that's how it works with persons, right?

00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:21.660
 Like my wife and I have been married for 34 years.

00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:22.500
 And in many ways,

00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:22.720
 I mean,

00:20:23.059 --> 00:20:24.880
 I am in her life

00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:27.940
 and she is in my life.

00:20:29.059 --> 00:20:31.319
 Those of you who've had a loved one die,

00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:33.819
 that when a loved one dies,

00:20:34.500 --> 00:20:37.400
 it feels as if there's almost a hollow place

00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:39.660
 in the center of you that's been ripped out.

00:20:41.259 --> 00:20:44.120
 Because people are in each other

00:20:44.120 --> 00:20:45.799
 when there's personal relationships.

00:20:46.779 --> 00:20:47.620
 And so,

00:20:47.860 --> 00:20:50.200
 that's why Paul in verse 2

00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:51.980
 can talk about how the Holy Spirit

00:20:51.980 --> 00:20:53.880
 has a principle,

00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:56.600
 a purpose behind his power

00:20:56.600 --> 00:20:58.140
 as he works in our lives.

00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:01.200
 And that leads us up here then

00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:02.279
 to verse 14.

00:21:02.740 --> 00:21:04.079
 So it's been a bit of a long aside,

00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:05.420
 but hopefully it's been helpful to you

00:21:05.420 --> 00:21:06.340
 in your spiritual life.

00:21:06.779 --> 00:21:08.100
 Look at verse 14 again.

00:21:08.620 --> 00:21:09.680
 So Paul's just continuing.

00:21:09.819 --> 00:21:10.640
 He's now going to give us

00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:13.200
 a second powerful image

00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:15.299
 of what it means to be a Christian.

00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:16.660
 And actually,

00:21:16.740 --> 00:21:17.200
 I think we have it.

00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:19.079
 We want to say verse 14 with me together.

00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:20.100
 I think I have it up there.

00:21:20.180 --> 00:21:21.180
 Is it verse 14?

00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:22.680
 Can we say it together?

00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:26.420
 For all who are led by the Spirit of God

00:21:26.420 --> 00:21:27.720
 are sons of God.

00:21:27.779 --> 00:21:28.539
 Let's say it again.

00:21:28.539 --> 00:21:31.720
 For all who are led by the Spirit of God

00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:32.980
 are sons of God.

00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:34.480
 And then in verse 15,

00:21:34.539 --> 00:21:35.059
 it continues.

00:21:35.220 --> 00:21:37.440
 For you did not receive the Spirit of slavery

00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:38.720
 to fall back into fear,

00:21:38.940 --> 00:21:41.240
 but you have received the Spirit of adoption

00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:43.059
 as sons by whom we cry,

00:21:43.259 --> 00:21:44.460
 Abba, Father.

00:21:45.500 --> 00:21:48.759
 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit

00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:50.680
 that we are children of God.

00:21:50.720 --> 00:21:51.619
 And if children,

00:21:51.819 --> 00:21:52.500
 then heirs.

00:21:52.980 --> 00:21:56.039
 Heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ,

00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:58.200
 provided we suffer with him in order

00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:01.180
 that we may also be glorified in him.

00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:03.619
 There's a different image here.

00:22:03.659 --> 00:22:05.119
 If you could put up the next point,

00:22:05.220 --> 00:22:06.159
 that would be really helpful.

00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:09.379
 The Holy Spirit,

00:22:10.059 --> 00:22:10.299
 you see,

00:22:10.399 --> 00:22:11.299
 in the first part

00:22:11.299 --> 00:22:12.460
 that we talked about last week

00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:13.460
 is the Holy Spirit,

00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:15.779
 we should never want to quench

00:22:15.779 --> 00:22:16.599
 the Holy Spirit.

00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:20.539
 We should be asking the Father regularly

00:22:20.539 --> 00:22:22.179
 to pour out his Holy Spirit upon us

00:22:22.179 --> 00:22:23.379
 for more of the Holy Spirit.

00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:23.659
 Why?

00:22:23.779 --> 00:22:25.859
 Because the Holy Spirit brings us to the Gospel.

00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:27.839
 The Holy Spirit brings us

00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:29.199
 to an understanding

00:22:29.199 --> 00:22:30.559
 that we talked about last week

00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:33.259
 that there is no condemnation now

00:22:33.259 --> 00:22:35.799
 for those who are in Christ Jesus.

00:22:37.179 --> 00:22:37.759
 And here,

00:22:37.879 --> 00:22:39.599
 this same logic and power

00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:40.480
 of the Holy Spirit

00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:41.519
 is going to bring us

00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:44.419
 if we let him work in our lives

00:22:44.420 --> 00:22:45.440
 and don't quench him.

00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:47.840
 The Holy Spirit leads me

00:22:47.840 --> 00:22:49.000
 to a secure,

00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:49.779
 humble,

00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:51.060
 trusting knowing

00:22:51.060 --> 00:22:52.660
 that in Jesus,

00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:55.000
 God has adopted me

00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:56.200
 as his child

00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:57.440
 and his heir.

00:22:58.580 --> 00:23:00.860
 The Holy Spirit leads me

00:23:00.860 --> 00:23:01.740
 to a secure,

00:23:02.320 --> 00:23:02.680
 humble,

00:23:03.120 --> 00:23:04.259
 trusting knowing

00:23:04.259 --> 00:23:05.860
 that in Jesus,

00:23:06.340 --> 00:23:07.420
 God has adopted me

00:23:07.420 --> 00:23:08.220
 as his child

00:23:08.220 --> 00:23:08.940
 and his heir.

00:23:10.060 --> 00:23:10.320
 Now,

00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:11.920
 in the time that

00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:13.680
 the Bible passage was written,

00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:15.519
 around 57 AD,

00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:17.539
 in the Roman world,

00:23:17.660 --> 00:23:18.980
 adoption was usually

00:23:18.980 --> 00:23:20.019
 actually quite different

00:23:20.019 --> 00:23:21.120
 from the way it is today.

00:23:21.980 --> 00:23:23.620
 And in the ancient world

00:23:23.620 --> 00:23:25.240
 that Paul was writing to,

00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:26.299
 so all of these people

00:23:26.299 --> 00:23:27.620
 would be familiar with this.

00:23:27.660 --> 00:23:29.480
 As soon as they got this image,

00:23:29.539 --> 00:23:30.299
 they would get it in a way

00:23:30.299 --> 00:23:31.539
 that we wouldn't necessarily get.

00:23:32.140 --> 00:23:32.640
 First of all,

00:23:32.700 --> 00:23:36.440
 they often didn't adopt babies.

00:23:38.120 --> 00:23:40.640
 We want to adopt babies primarily

00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:41.539
 or young children.

00:23:41.539 --> 00:23:44.200
 But in the ancient world,

00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:45.859
 if there was a man

00:23:45.859 --> 00:23:47.299
 who was very rich

00:23:47.299 --> 00:23:49.460
 and he had no heir

00:23:49.460 --> 00:23:51.440
 or no suitable heir

00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:53.779
 to leave his vast fortune

00:23:53.779 --> 00:23:54.619
 and power to,

00:23:55.159 --> 00:23:56.619
 he would go looking around

00:23:56.619 --> 00:23:58.180
 and he would pick a man

00:23:58.180 --> 00:24:00.420
 to adopt.

00:24:02.099 --> 00:24:02.619
 Like,

00:24:02.659 --> 00:24:03.619
 it could even be somebody

00:24:03.619 --> 00:24:04.519
 as old as me

00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:08.740
 or it could be a young man.

00:24:09.579 --> 00:24:10.819
 So it would be as if

00:24:10.819 --> 00:24:13.039
 if we were back in ancient Rome

00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:14.299
 and I'll just use Ken.

00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:15.519
 I'm sure he won't mind me

00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:16.779
 using his name as an example.

00:24:16.900 --> 00:24:18.400
 And let's say Ken has no heir.

00:24:19.259 --> 00:24:20.559
 And Ken looks around

00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:22.220
 and he sees Andrew

00:24:22.220 --> 00:24:22.599
 and he says,

00:24:22.700 --> 00:24:24.139
 Andrew has 10 kids

00:24:24.139 --> 00:24:25.319
 and,

00:24:25.379 --> 00:24:26.700
 I can't remember,

00:24:26.700 --> 00:24:27.400
 how many of them are boys?

00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:27.700
 Anyway,

00:24:27.819 --> 00:24:29.180
 a few of them are boys.

00:24:29.639 --> 00:24:30.539
 Five boys.

00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:31.819
 And surely,

00:24:32.180 --> 00:24:33.440
 out of those five boys,

00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:35.200
 one would be a suitable one as well.

00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:36.259
 I'm going to adopt Andrew

00:24:36.259 --> 00:24:38.759
 with his 10 kids.

00:24:38.879 --> 00:24:39.980
 I'm going to adopt Andrew

00:24:39.980 --> 00:24:41.139
 as my son.

00:24:42.740 --> 00:24:44.420
 And Ken would pick Andrew.

00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:46.720
 If Andrew tried putting ads

00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:47.599
 in the personals,

00:24:47.859 --> 00:24:48.839
 I have lots of kids,

00:24:48.899 --> 00:24:49.779
 I'd like to be adopted.

00:24:49.940 --> 00:24:50.579
 It doesn't work.

00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:53.839
 And Ken would look at Andrew

00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:54.299
 and says,

00:24:54.379 --> 00:24:54.500
 you know,

00:24:54.539 --> 00:24:55.420
 Andrew looks healthy.

00:24:55.500 --> 00:24:56.079
 He looks like he's

00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:57.200
 a responsible person.

00:24:57.319 --> 00:24:57.839
 He would really,

00:24:57.839 --> 00:24:59.720
 I'm going to make him my heir.

00:25:00.879 --> 00:25:01.459
 And so,

00:25:01.879 --> 00:25:03.119
 in the ancient world,

00:25:03.419 --> 00:25:04.459
 the father,

00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:05.079
 in a sense,

00:25:05.179 --> 00:25:06.339
 the man chooses

00:25:06.339 --> 00:25:10.220
 and does all the work

00:25:10.220 --> 00:25:12.859
 to make the adoption possible.

00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:15.279
 And when Andrew

00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:17.339
 is adopted by Ken,

00:25:17.659 --> 00:25:19.220
 Andrew changes his last name.

00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:23.459
 He now has a different name

00:25:23.459 --> 00:25:24.879
 and a different identity.

00:25:26.059 --> 00:25:26.939
 He instantly,

00:25:26.940 --> 00:25:28.720
 once the adoption goes through,

00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:31.019
 is the heir of everything

00:25:31.019 --> 00:25:33.340
 that the rich man has.

00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:34.900
 All of his power

00:25:34.900 --> 00:25:36.000
 and all of his influence.

00:25:37.019 --> 00:25:38.240
 And on top of that,

00:25:38.860 --> 00:25:39.240
 Ken,

00:25:39.620 --> 00:25:41.059
 when he adopts Andrew,

00:25:41.820 --> 00:25:43.940
 undertakes on Ken now

00:25:43.940 --> 00:25:45.980
 every single debt

00:25:45.980 --> 00:25:48.680
 and everything against Andrew

00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:50.100
 now goes on the dad

00:25:50.100 --> 00:25:51.840
 in the Roman world.

00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:56.839
 and Ken is now liable

00:25:56.839 --> 00:25:58.419
 for all future actions

00:25:58.419 --> 00:25:59.059
 of Andrew.

00:25:59.679 --> 00:26:00.779
 They all go on the dad,

00:26:01.539 --> 00:26:02.199
 the new dad.

00:26:03.159 --> 00:26:06.299
 And the son

00:26:06.299 --> 00:26:07.919
 has an obligation

00:26:07.919 --> 00:26:09.379
 to honor

00:26:09.379 --> 00:26:11.000
 and please

00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:12.339
 and be with his father.

00:26:12.339 --> 00:26:16.859
 and this is all done

00:26:16.859 --> 00:26:17.619
 by the father

00:26:17.619 --> 00:26:20.220
 in this ancient world.

00:26:20.299 --> 00:26:20.359
 Now,

00:26:20.419 --> 00:26:20.539
 just,

00:26:21.220 --> 00:26:22.459
 I'm sure in the ancient world

00:26:22.459 --> 00:26:23.059
 it was a little,

00:26:23.259 --> 00:26:25.119
 I was listening a little while ago

00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:26.459
 to a tape of a man

00:26:26.459 --> 00:26:27.139
 who was a pastor

00:26:27.139 --> 00:26:27.559
 of a church

00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:28.740
 that only had male elders.

00:26:29.459 --> 00:26:31.639
 And he was telling this story

00:26:31.639 --> 00:26:32.379
 about sometimes

00:26:32.379 --> 00:26:33.919
 after the elders board

00:26:33.919 --> 00:26:34.759
 had made this decision

00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:35.459
 for the church,

00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:37.059
 one of the elders,

00:26:37.199 --> 00:26:37.699
 male elders,

00:26:37.779 --> 00:26:38.899
 would come up to the pastor

00:26:38.899 --> 00:26:39.220
 and say,

00:26:39.299 --> 00:26:39.599
 pastor,

00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:40.839
 I've been praying about this

00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:42.079
 and I think we need to reconsider.

00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:43.879
 And the pastor says,

00:26:43.959 --> 00:26:44.599
 whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:26:44.980 --> 00:26:46.379
 I don't want you to lie in church.

00:26:47.059 --> 00:26:48.339
 You weren't praying about it.

00:26:48.819 --> 00:26:49.879
 You talked to your wife.

00:26:50.579 --> 00:26:51.539
 She disagrees.

00:26:52.740 --> 00:26:53.139
 Right?

00:26:55.939 --> 00:26:57.279
 And the guy said,

00:26:57.439 --> 00:26:58.220
 the man would often

00:26:58.220 --> 00:26:59.059
 get red in the face

00:26:59.059 --> 00:26:59.339
 and say,

00:26:59.359 --> 00:26:59.459
 yeah,

00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:00.359
 I wasn't praying about it.

00:27:00.379 --> 00:27:01.439
 I was talking to my wife

00:27:01.439 --> 00:27:02.319
 and she does disagree

00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:03.199
 for these reasons.

00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:04.839
 And then the pastor would say,

00:27:04.879 --> 00:27:05.899
 those are really good reasons.

00:27:06.019 --> 00:27:06.419
 Let's have a,

00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:07.179
 let's reconsider

00:27:07.179 --> 00:27:08.139
 the particular issue.

00:27:08.139 --> 00:27:08.279
 So,

00:27:08.379 --> 00:27:08.519
 you know,

00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:09.699
 in the ancient world

00:27:09.699 --> 00:27:10.199
 where there was all

00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:10.620
 just male,

00:27:10.700 --> 00:27:10.819
 male,

00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:11.019
 male,

00:27:11.019 --> 00:27:11.200
 you know,

00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:13.860
 knowing how men and women work,

00:27:13.940 --> 00:27:15.000
 that's probably not the way

00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:15.680
 it actually worked

00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:16.360
 on the ground.

00:27:16.840 --> 00:27:17.019
 Okay?

00:27:17.600 --> 00:27:18.559
 But legally,

00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:20.539
 then you see this profound image,

00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:23.120
 this profound image

00:27:23.120 --> 00:27:25.160
 of the father

00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:26.019
 choosing

00:27:26.019 --> 00:27:27.720
 a son

00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:28.920
 to be his heir,

00:27:29.740 --> 00:27:30.440
 giving him

00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:31.120
 a new name,

00:27:31.259 --> 00:27:32.279
 taking upon himself

00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:33.680
 all of the debts

00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:34.700
 and obligations

00:27:34.700 --> 00:27:35.779
 and charges

00:27:35.779 --> 00:27:36.660
 against the son.

00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:38.700
 And forever afterwards,

00:27:38.700 --> 00:27:39.819
 as long as the father

00:27:39.819 --> 00:27:40.319
 is alive,

00:27:40.420 --> 00:27:41.140
 being liable

00:27:41.140 --> 00:27:42.319
 for all of what

00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:43.220
 the son does

00:27:43.220 --> 00:27:45.019
 and a new name

00:27:45.019 --> 00:27:46.120
 and a new identity

00:27:46.120 --> 00:27:47.120
 and it's fixed

00:27:47.120 --> 00:27:47.900
 and it's solid

00:27:47.900 --> 00:27:49.059
 and it's all done

00:27:49.059 --> 00:27:50.360
 by the father

00:27:50.360 --> 00:27:51.259
 for the one

00:27:51.259 --> 00:27:51.960
 who is adopted

00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:52.799
 as his heir.

00:27:53.580 --> 00:27:54.059
 And that's what,

00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:55.240
 and that's what's being said

00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:56.180
 here in verse 14,

00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:57.200
 for all who are led

00:27:57.200 --> 00:27:58.140
 by the spirit of God

00:27:58.140 --> 00:27:59.400
 are sons of God.

00:27:59.700 --> 00:28:00.840
 For you did not receive

00:28:00.840 --> 00:28:02.259
 the spirit of slavery

00:28:02.259 --> 00:28:03.340
 to fall back into fear,

00:28:03.420 --> 00:28:04.120
 but you have received

00:28:04.120 --> 00:28:05.220
 the spirit of adoption

00:28:05.220 --> 00:28:06.299
 as sons

00:28:06.299 --> 00:28:07.500
 by whom we cry

00:28:07.500 --> 00:28:08.100
 Abba,

00:28:08.460 --> 00:28:08.920
 Father.

00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:13.000
 The spirit himself

00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:14.000
 bears witness

00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:15.180
 with our spirit

00:28:15.180 --> 00:28:16.759
 that we are

00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:18.299
 children of God

00:28:18.299 --> 00:28:19.819
 and if children

00:28:19.819 --> 00:28:20.759
 then heirs,

00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:21.839
 heirs of God

00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:22.620
 and fellow heirs

00:28:22.620 --> 00:28:23.220
 with Christ

00:28:23.220 --> 00:28:24.279
 provided we suffer

00:28:24.279 --> 00:28:24.680
 with him

00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:25.519
 in order that we may

00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:26.740
 also be glorified

00:28:26.740 --> 00:28:27.700
 with him.

00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:30.920
 Once again,

00:28:32.059 --> 00:28:33.799
 you put your hands

00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:34.559
 out to Jesus

00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:36.279
 and you don't know

00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:37.039
 all this theology,

00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:38.220
 you're not a complicated

00:28:38.220 --> 00:28:39.399
 guy or gal,

00:28:39.519 --> 00:28:40.419
 you haven't figured out

00:28:40.419 --> 00:28:41.419
 all this theological

00:28:41.419 --> 00:28:42.180
 imagery stuff,

00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:42.879
 I mean maybe today

00:28:42.879 --> 00:28:43.559
 after the sermon

00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:44.419
 it will be a little bit

00:28:44.419 --> 00:28:44.720
 different,

00:28:44.859 --> 00:28:45.819
 but you don't necessarily

00:28:45.819 --> 00:28:46.799
 know all of this stuff

00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:47.700
 and you just reach out

00:28:47.700 --> 00:28:48.259
 to Jesus

00:28:48.259 --> 00:28:49.440
 because you just have

00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:50.159
 this sense that you

00:28:50.159 --> 00:28:51.099
 need to be connected

00:28:51.099 --> 00:28:51.819
 to Jesus

00:28:51.819 --> 00:28:53.419
 and you put your hands

00:28:53.419 --> 00:28:54.099
 out to Jesus

00:28:54.099 --> 00:28:55.399
 and Jesus crosses

00:28:55.399 --> 00:28:56.680
 that infinite distance

00:28:56.680 --> 00:28:57.339
 down to you

00:28:57.339 --> 00:28:58.700
 and takes your hands

00:28:58.700 --> 00:29:00.399
 and what you do not know

00:29:00.399 --> 00:29:01.680
 is that as Jesus

00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:02.879
 takes your hands,

00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:03.880
 the father

00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:05.400
 has adopted you

00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:06.720
 as if you,

00:29:07.080 --> 00:29:08.020
 man or woman,

00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:09.460
 are his son

00:29:09.460 --> 00:29:10.720
 with all the rights

00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:11.320
 of inheritance

00:29:11.320 --> 00:29:12.880
 and all of the obligations

00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:13.580
 against you

00:29:13.580 --> 00:29:15.060
 are now on your father

00:29:15.060 --> 00:29:17.140
 and all of the things

00:29:17.140 --> 00:29:17.640
 that you will do

00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:18.180
 in the future

00:29:18.180 --> 00:29:19.160
 as long as the father

00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:19.640
 is alive

00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:21.000
 are on your father

00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:22.800
 and he adopts you

00:29:22.800 --> 00:29:24.560
 as his child

00:29:24.560 --> 00:29:26.740
 and you have his name

00:29:26.740 --> 00:29:28.000
 and he will never

00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:28.580
 let you go

00:29:28.580 --> 00:29:29.700
 or backtrack on that.

00:29:29.980 --> 00:29:30.840
 That is your new

00:29:30.840 --> 00:29:32.520
 identity and destiny

00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:33.279
 and that is what

00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:34.099
 happens to you

00:29:34.099 --> 00:29:35.139
 when you put your hands

00:29:35.139 --> 00:29:36.240
 out and you do not

00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:37.299
 realize that when

00:29:37.299 --> 00:29:38.759
 Jesus takes your hands

00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:39.720
 it is the father

00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:40.859
 adopting you

00:29:40.859 --> 00:29:42.139
 as his child

00:29:42.139 --> 00:29:43.079
 and heir

00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:43.920
 forever

00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:46.299
 and for the rest

00:29:46.299 --> 00:29:46.879
 of your life

00:29:46.879 --> 00:29:47.839
 one of the ministries

00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:48.879
 of the Holy Spirit

00:29:48.879 --> 00:29:49.480
 in your life

00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:50.139
 which is why

00:29:50.139 --> 00:29:50.740
 you should want

00:29:50.740 --> 00:29:51.500
 the Holy Spirit

00:29:51.500 --> 00:29:52.339
 to have as great

00:29:52.339 --> 00:29:53.139
 a role in your life

00:29:53.139 --> 00:29:54.319
 as you possibly can

00:29:54.319 --> 00:29:56.079
 is to bring you

00:29:56.079 --> 00:29:57.139
 to us secure

00:29:57.139 --> 00:29:58.939
 and humble

00:29:58.939 --> 00:30:00.399
 trusting

00:30:00.399 --> 00:30:01.779
 knowledge

00:30:01.779 --> 00:30:02.939
 that you

00:30:02.939 --> 00:30:04.480
 are God's

00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:05.220
 child

00:30:05.220 --> 00:30:06.639
 not weighing your

00:30:06.639 --> 00:30:07.119
 merits

00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:08.019
 that you

00:30:08.019 --> 00:30:08.980
 are God's

00:30:08.980 --> 00:30:09.439
 child

00:30:09.439 --> 00:30:10.259
 by adoption

00:30:10.259 --> 00:30:10.899
 and grace

00:30:10.900 --> 00:30:16.880
 this text

00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:17.340
 was actually

00:30:17.340 --> 00:30:17.980
 profoundly

00:30:17.980 --> 00:30:18.900
 subversive

00:30:18.900 --> 00:30:21.000
 I mean you

00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:21.800
 can just imagine

00:30:21.800 --> 00:30:22.440
 that the people

00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:23.100
 when they're hearing

00:30:23.100 --> 00:30:23.519
 Paul

00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:24.040
 and in the

00:30:24.040 --> 00:30:24.840
 congregation

00:30:24.840 --> 00:30:25.500
 there's some

00:30:25.500 --> 00:30:25.940
 estimates

00:30:25.940 --> 00:30:27.259
 anthropologists

00:30:27.259 --> 00:30:27.940
 have done some

00:30:27.940 --> 00:30:28.240
 work

00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:28.880
 and in the

00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:29.560
 it might very

00:30:29.560 --> 00:30:30.040
 well have been

00:30:30.040 --> 00:30:31.420
 that 70%

00:30:31.420 --> 00:30:32.340
 of the congregation

00:30:32.340 --> 00:30:32.759
 in Rome

00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:33.540
 were slaves

00:30:33.540 --> 00:30:35.519
 majority women

00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:37.039
 there were some

00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:37.839
 rich people too

00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:39.720
 and this would

00:30:39.720 --> 00:30:40.940
 have gobsmacked

00:30:40.940 --> 00:30:41.220
 them

00:30:41.220 --> 00:30:43.119
 that woman

00:30:43.119 --> 00:30:43.559
 over there

00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:44.500
 who's a slave

00:30:44.500 --> 00:30:46.079
 Paul has just

00:30:46.079 --> 00:30:46.500
 said

00:30:46.500 --> 00:30:47.980
 that she

00:30:47.980 --> 00:30:48.940
 inherits

00:30:48.940 --> 00:30:49.639
 as if

00:30:49.639 --> 00:30:50.420
 she is

00:30:50.420 --> 00:30:51.119
 the son

00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:55.359
 bam

00:30:55.359 --> 00:30:57.879
 that slave

00:30:57.879 --> 00:30:58.180
 woman

00:30:58.180 --> 00:30:58.799
 with no

00:30:58.799 --> 00:30:59.420
 status

00:30:59.420 --> 00:31:00.720
 the lowest

00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:01.299
 of the low

00:31:01.299 --> 00:31:02.379
 when she

00:31:02.379 --> 00:31:02.920
 puts her

00:31:02.920 --> 00:31:03.500
 faith and

00:31:03.500 --> 00:31:04.139
 trust in

00:31:04.139 --> 00:31:04.519
 Jesus

00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:05.960
 she

00:31:05.960 --> 00:31:07.000
 becomes

00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:07.700
 adopted

00:31:07.700 --> 00:31:08.480
 by the

00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:08.859
 creator

00:31:08.859 --> 00:31:09.859
 and sustainer

00:31:09.859 --> 00:31:10.220
 of the

00:31:10.220 --> 00:31:10.660
 entire

00:31:10.660 --> 00:31:11.319
 universe

00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:13.039
 as his

00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:13.539
 child

00:31:13.539 --> 00:31:14.559
 as if

00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:15.379
 she is

00:31:15.379 --> 00:31:17.019
 a son

00:31:17.019 --> 00:31:23.180
 it's a

00:31:23.180 --> 00:31:23.539
 very very

00:31:23.539 --> 00:31:24.139
 powerful

00:31:24.139 --> 00:31:24.759
 text

00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:26.220
 you know

00:31:26.220 --> 00:31:28.279
 you see

00:31:28.279 --> 00:31:28.519
 with

00:31:28.519 --> 00:31:29.079
 as the

00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:30.039
 Holy Spirit

00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:30.920
 leads us

00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:31.500
 to this

00:31:31.500 --> 00:31:32.139
 knowledge

00:31:32.139 --> 00:31:32.519
 of the

00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:32.920
 Father

00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:35.259
 you

00:31:35.259 --> 00:31:35.700
 realize

00:31:35.700 --> 00:31:36.019
 you

00:31:36.019 --> 00:31:36.360
 have

00:31:36.360 --> 00:31:36.600
 this

00:31:36.600 --> 00:31:37.019
 you

00:31:37.019 --> 00:31:37.320
 start

00:31:37.320 --> 00:31:37.620
 to have

00:31:37.620 --> 00:31:37.840
 this

00:31:37.840 --> 00:31:38.180
 sense

00:31:38.180 --> 00:31:38.480
 of the

00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:38.980
 security

00:31:38.980 --> 00:31:39.360
 that you

00:31:39.360 --> 00:31:39.740
 have

00:31:39.740 --> 00:31:40.320
 remember

00:31:40.320 --> 00:31:40.759
 I began

00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:41.000
 this

00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:41.240
 whole

00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:41.620
 sermon

00:31:41.620 --> 00:31:42.220
 by this

00:31:42.220 --> 00:31:44.259
 you know

00:31:44.259 --> 00:31:44.779
 plump

00:31:44.779 --> 00:31:45.720
 mentally

00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:46.420
 handicapped

00:31:46.420 --> 00:31:46.720
 young

00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:47.160
 man

00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:48.500
 probably

00:31:48.500 --> 00:31:49.000
 20

00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:50.120
 trying to

00:31:50.120 --> 00:31:50.519
 catch up

00:31:50.519 --> 00:31:50.860
 to his

00:31:50.860 --> 00:31:51.259
 mom

00:31:51.259 --> 00:31:52.720
 and the

00:38:33.159 --> 00:38:33.260
 your

 you

00:38:34.420 --> 00:38:34.619
 tell

 something

00:38:35.380 --> 00:38:35.820
 else

00:38:35.820 --> 00:38:36.400
 it's

00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:36.599
 all

 we

00:38:38.539 --> 00:38:38.740
 try

00:38:38.740 --> 00:38:38.860
 to

00:38:38.860 --> 00:38:39.320
 avoid

00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:40.059
 the

00:38:40.059 --> 00:38:40.679
 mockery

00:38:40.679 --> 00:38:41.260
 of

00:38:41.260 --> 00:38:41.400
 the

00:38:41.400 --> 00:38:41.699

00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:46.019
 clear

00:38:46.019 --> 00:38:46.260
 that

00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:47.519
 there's

00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:47.659
 a

00:38:47.659 --> 00:38:48.079
 power

00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:48.320
 of

00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:48.720
 God

00:38:48.720 --> 00:38:48.980
 for

00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:08.760
 understand

00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:08.920
 if

00:39:08.920 --> 00:39:09.019
 we

00:39:09.019 --> 00:39:09.159
 could

00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:18.220
 there's

00:40:29.720 --> 00:40:29.820
 you

 computer

00:40:57.240 --> 00:40:57.780
 after

00:40:57.780 --> 00:40:58.080
 Shirley

00:40:58.080 --> 00:40:58.280
 gets

00:40:58.720 --> 00:40:59.140
 holidays

00:40:59.140 --> 00:40:59.920
 so

00:40:59.920 --> 00:41:00.100
 that

00:41:00.100 --> 00:41:00.600
 if

00:41:00.600 --> 00:41:00.780
 you're

00:41:00.780 --> 00:41:00.960
 writing

00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:01.100

00:41:01.840 --> 00:41:02.360
 you're

 writing

00:41:02.580 --> 00:41:03.000
 me

00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:05.780
 because

00:41:05.780 --> 00:41:06.239
 sometimes

00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:06.659
 we can

00:41:06.659 --> 00:41:06.900
 believe

00:41:06.900 --> 00:41:07.079
 that

00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:07.239
 this

00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:07.400
 is

00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:07.639
 true

00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:07.780
 of

 people

00:41:09.820 --> 00:41:10.039
 have

00:41:10.039 --> 00:41:10.239
 their

00:41:10.239 --> 00:41:10.599
 lives

00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:11.000
 together

00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:11.639
 just

00:41:19.519 --> 00:41:19.760
 them

00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:20.440
 and

00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:20.599
 then

00:41:20.599 --> 00:41:20.719
 you

00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:20.860
 go

00:41:20.860 --> 00:41:21.280
 whoa

00:41:22.340 --> 00:41:22.559
 pretty

00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:23.039
 weird

00:41:23.039 --> 00:41:24.619
 you're

00:41:24.619 --> 00:41:25.079

 yeah

00:41:29.159 --> 00:41:29.619
 anyway

00:41:29.619 --> 00:41:30.679
 I was

00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:30.840
 going to

00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:30.960
 say

00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:31.219
 something

00:41:31.219 --> 00:41:31.420
 but

00:41:31.420 --> 00:41:31.960
 the

00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:32.159
 Holy

00:41:32.159 --> 00:41:32.400
 Spirit

00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:32.699
 stopped

00:41:32.699 --> 00:41:32.860
 me

00:41:32.860 --> 00:41:33.099
 sorry

00:41:33.099 --> 00:41:35.059
 I would

00:41:35.059 --> 00:41:35.140
 have

00:41:35.140 --> 00:41:35.240
 got

00:41:35.240 --> 00:41:35.400
 in

00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:35.700
 trouble

00:41:35.700 --> 00:41:36.900
 you

00:41:36.900 --> 00:41:36.980
 know

00:41:36.980 --> 00:41:37.079
 it's

00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:37.280
 really

00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:37.519
 funny

00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:37.720
 when you're

00:41:37.720 --> 00:41:37.940
 up here

00:41:37.940 --> 00:41:38.280
 preaching

00:41:38.280 --> 00:41:38.640
 without a

00:41:38.640 --> 00:41:38.800
 written

00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:39.200
 text

00:41:39.200 --> 00:41:39.480
 you know

00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:39.720
 there's

00:41:39.720 --> 00:41:39.880
 these

00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:40.140
 things

00:41:40.140 --> 00:41:40.440
 that come

00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:40.740
 into your

00:41:40.740 --> 00:41:41.079
 mind

00:41:41.079 --> 00:41:41.640
 and sometimes

00:41:41.640 --> 00:41:41.920
 you think

00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:42.500
 I should

00:41:42.500 --> 00:41:42.940
 just say it

00:41:42.940 --> 00:41:43.440
 and other times

00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:43.620
 you go

00:41:43.620 --> 00:41:44.059
 no no no

00:41:44.059 --> 00:41:44.180

 no

00:41:44.300 --> 00:41:45.340
 just

00:41:45.340 --> 00:41:47.300
 that's

00:41:47.300 --> 00:41:47.940
 your internal

00:41:47.940 --> 00:41:48.400
 voice

00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:48.820
 George

00:41:48.820 --> 00:41:49.240
 not your

00:41:49.240 --> 00:41:49.620
 external

00:41:49.620 --> 00:41:49.980
 voice

00:41:49.980 --> 00:41:50.260
 you're not

00:41:50.260 --> 00:41:50.640
 supposed to

00:41:50.640 --> 00:41:50.960
 say that

00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:51.460
 out loud

00:41:51.460 --> 00:41:54.220
 so

00:41:54.220 --> 00:41:54.760

00:41:54.760 --> 00:41:54.900
 I

 so

00:41:56.079 --> 00:41:57.199
 where was I in this

00:41:57.199 --> 00:41:58.400
 the Holy

00:41:58.400 --> 00:41:58.940
 Spirit

00:41:58.940 --> 00:42:00.460
 works in our

00:42:00.460 --> 00:42:01.019
 lives

00:42:01.019 --> 00:42:02.900
 to bring us

00:42:02.900 --> 00:42:03.380
 to this

00:42:03.380 --> 00:42:04.000
 point

00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:05.179
 where more

00:42:05.179 --> 00:42:05.659
 and more

00:42:05.659 --> 00:42:06.179

00:42:06.179 --> 00:42:07.380
 we understand

00:42:07.380 --> 00:42:09.099
 that

00:42:09.099 --> 00:42:10.300
 God

00:42:10.300 --> 00:42:11.460
 when Jesus

00:42:11.460 --> 00:42:12.179
 comes a second

00:42:12.179 --> 00:42:12.740
 time he will

00:42:12.740 --> 00:42:13.179
 bring in the

00:42:13.179 --> 00:42:13.639
 new heaven

00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:14.099
 and earth

00:42:14.099 --> 00:42:15.980
 and

00:42:15.980 --> 00:42:17.980
 just as

00:42:17.980 --> 00:42:18.980
 there is now

00:42:18.980 --> 00:42:19.920
 no condemnation

00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:20.420
 for me

00:42:20.420 --> 00:42:21.119
 if I'm in

00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:21.699
 Christ Jesus

00:42:21.699 --> 00:42:23.139
 just as

 I am

00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:24.259
 adopted

00:42:29.219 --> 00:42:29.880
 it doesn't

00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:30.460
 matter if

 handicapped

00:42:31.799 --> 00:42:32.599
 young man

00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:34.139
 who can't

00:42:34.139 --> 00:42:35.380
 has trouble

00:42:35.380 --> 00:42:35.980
 holding his

00:42:35.980 --> 00:42:36.639
 pants up

00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:37.579
 when he

00:42:37.579 --> 00:42:38.299
 waddles over

00:42:38.299 --> 00:42:38.960
 to his mom

00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:41.139

00:42:47.420 --> 00:42:47.839
 be a

00:42:47.839 --> 00:42:48.179
 creature

00:42:48.179 --> 00:42:48.779
 of glory

00:42:48.779 --> 00:42:50.839
 that if

00:42:50.839 --> 00:42:51.339
 you saw

00:42:51.339 --> 00:42:52.059
 him now

00:42:52.679 --> 00:42:53.059
 new heaven

00:42:53.059 --> 00:42:53.299
 and the

00:42:53.299 --> 00:42:53.719
 new earth

00:42:53.719 --> 00:42:54.299
 you would

00:42:54.299 --> 00:42:54.799
 fall down

00:42:54.799 --> 00:42:55.239
 to worship

00:42:55.239 --> 00:42:55.619
 him like

00:42:55.619 --> 00:42:56.059
 a god

00:42:56.059 --> 00:42:59.279
 it doesn't

00:42:59.279 --> 00:42:59.719
 matter if

 you're old

00:43:00.199 --> 00:43:00.579
 it doesn't

 you're sick

00:43:02.980 --> 00:43:03.360
 it doesn't

00:43:03.360 --> 00:43:03.679
 matter if

00:43:03.679 --> 00:43:04.400
 you're handicapped

00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:04.779
 it doesn't

00:43:04.779 --> 00:43:05.299
 matter if

00:43:05.299 --> 00:43:06.299
 you're one

00:43:06.299 --> 00:43:06.539
 of those

00:43:06.539 --> 00:43:07.199
 spectacular

00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:07.960
 athletes who

00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:08.079
 are going

00:43:08.079 --> 00:43:08.500
 to compete

00:43:08.500 --> 00:43:08.779

00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:13.779
 our bodies

00:43:13.779 --> 00:43:14.779
 will eventually

00:43:14.779 --> 00:43:15.199
 fail

00:43:15.199 --> 00:43:16.579
 many of us

00:43:16.579 --> 00:43:16.900
 know what

00:43:16.900 --> 00:43:17.299
 that means

00:43:17.299 --> 00:43:17.719
 every day

00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:18.039
 when we

00:43:18.039 --> 00:43:18.500
 wake up

00:43:18.500 --> 00:43:21.940
 but when

00:43:21.940 --> 00:43:22.420
 we put our

00:43:22.420 --> 00:43:22.839
 faith and

00:43:22.839 --> 00:43:23.299

 not condemned

00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:26.420
 we're not

00:43:26.420 --> 00:43:27.000
 only adopted

00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:27.400
 as his

00:43:39.880 --> 00:43:40.440
 can do it

00:43:40.440 --> 00:43:41.359
 and he

00:43:41.359 --> 00:43:41.679
 can do

00:43:41.679 --> 00:43:41.940
 it in

00:44:54.379 --> 00:44:54.719
 Jesus

00:44:54.719 --> 00:44:56.019
 there's no

00:44:56.019 --> 00:44:56.559
 better time

00:44:56.559 --> 00:44:56.940
 than right

00:44:56.940 --> 00:44:57.239
 now

00:44:57.239 --> 00:44:58.039
 call out

00:44:58.039 --> 00:44:58.559
 to Jesus

00:44:58.559 --> 00:44:59.559
 and for

00:44:59.559 --> 00:45:00.000
 each of us

00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:00.299
 with the

00:45:00.299 --> 00:45:00.940
 different things

00:45:00.940 --> 00:45:01.240
 that we're

00:45:01.240 --> 00:45:01.619
 struggling

00:45:01.619 --> 00:45:01.980
 with

00:45:01.980 --> 00:45:02.260
 and we

00:45:02.260 --> 00:45:02.599
 sense

00:45:02.599 --> 00:45:03.099
 this

00:45:03.099 --> 00:45:03.800
 and I'm

00:45:03.800 --> 00:45:03.980
 not going

00:45:03.980 --> 00:45:04.179
 to give

00:45:04.179 --> 00:45:04.639
 you magic

00:45:04.639 --> 00:45:05.000
 words

00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:05.320
 I'm just

00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:05.539
 going to

00:45:05.539 --> 00:45:05.980
 tell you

00:45:05.980 --> 00:45:07.139
 just say

00:45:07.139 --> 00:45:07.800
 Father

00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:09.440
 I want

00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:09.740
 Jesus

00:45:09.740 --> 00:45:10.099
 to be

00:45:10.099 --> 00:45:10.659
 my Savior

00:45:10.659 --> 00:45:11.159
 I want

00:45:11.159 --> 00:45:11.440
 to have

00:45:11.440 --> 00:45:11.820
 the Holy

00:45:11.820 --> 00:45:12.139
 Spirit

00:45:12.139 --> 00:45:12.460
 lead me

00:45:12.460 --> 00:45:12.800
 you just

00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:13.420
 pray that

00:45:13.420 --> 00:45:13.740
 you don't

00:45:13.740 --> 00:45:14.200
 need some

00:45:14.200 --> 00:45:14.679
 special

00:45:14.679 --> 00:45:15.059
 prayer

00:45:15.059 --> 00:45:15.400
 that you

00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:15.599
 have to

00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:15.880
 try to

00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:16.280
 figure out

00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:16.460
 if you

00:45:16.460 --> 00:45:16.740
 remember

00:45:16.740 --> 00:45:17.200
 the words

00:45:17.200 --> 00:45:17.679
 properly

00:45:17.679 --> 00:45:18.220
 afterwards

00:45:18.220 --> 00:45:18.659
 just

00:45:18.659 --> 00:45:19.740
 in light

00:45:19.740 --> 00:45:20.039
 of what

00:45:20.039 --> 00:45:20.980
 just let

00:45:20.980 --> 00:45:21.559
 the pressure

00:45:21.559 --> 00:45:21.940
 and the

00:45:21.940 --> 00:45:22.280
 power

00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:22.539
 of the

00:45:22.539 --> 00:45:23.200
 Holy Spirit

00:45:23.200 --> 00:45:24.400
 lead you

00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:24.740
 to call

00:45:24.740 --> 00:45:25.079
 out to

00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:25.380
 Jesus

00:45:25.380 --> 00:45:26.039
 and if

00:45:26.039 --> 00:45:26.400
 you call

00:45:26.400 --> 00:45:26.740
 out to

00:45:26.740 --> 00:45:27.079
 Jesus

00:45:27.079 --> 00:45:27.880
 to be

00:45:27.880 --> 00:45:28.099
 his

00:45:28.099 --> 00:45:28.480
 child

00:45:28.480 --> 00:45:29.559
 he

00:45:29.559 --> 00:45:29.980
 takes

00:45:29.980 --> 00:45:30.180
 your

00:45:30.180 --> 00:45:30.519
 hands

00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:30.720
 there

00:45:30.720 --> 00:45:30.840
 will

00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:30.980
 be

00:45:30.980 --> 00:45:31.180
 no

00:45:31.180 --> 00:45:31.420
 more

00:45:31.420 --> 00:45:32.180
 condemnation

00:45:32.180 --> 00:45:32.640
 you will

00:45:32.640 --> 00:45:32.940
 be his

00:45:32.940 --> 00:45:33.340
 adopted

00:45:33.340 --> 00:45:33.840
 child

00:45:33.840 --> 00:45:34.360
 and an

00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:34.720
 eternal

00:45:34.720 --> 00:45:35.000
 weight

00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:35.460
 of glory

00:45:35.460 --> 00:45:35.820
 beyond

00:45:35.820 --> 00:45:36.500
 comparison

00:45:36.500 --> 00:45:37.380
 is what

00:45:37.380 --> 00:45:37.880
 will take

00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:38.260
 place

00:45:38.260 --> 00:45:38.740
 in your

00:45:38.740 --> 00:45:39.140
 life

00:45:39.140 --> 00:45:39.840
 in the

00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:39.980
 new

00:45:39.980 --> 00:45:40.200
 heaven

00:45:40.200 --> 00:45:40.440
 and the

00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:40.579
 new

00:45:40.579 --> 00:45:40.760
 earth

00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:42.099
 and for

00:45:42.099 --> 00:45:42.440
 the rest

00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:42.840
 of us

00:45:42.840 --> 00:45:43.599
 just pour

00:45:43.599 --> 00:45:43.940
 out your

00:45:43.940 --> 00:45:44.240
 heart

00:45:44.240 --> 00:45:44.800
 and call

00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:45.099
 out to

00:45:45.099 --> 00:45:45.360
 God

00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:46.660
 I think

00:45:46.660 --> 00:45:47.059
 every

00:45:47.059 --> 00:45:47.480
 single

00:45:47.480 --> 00:45:47.820
 one of

00:45:47.820 --> 00:45:47.980
 us

00:45:47.980 --> 00:45:48.180
 me

00:45:48.180 --> 00:45:48.640
 included

00:45:48.640 --> 00:45:48.960
 need

00:45:48.960 --> 00:45:49.320
 to grow

00:45:49.320 --> 00:45:49.640
 in this

00:45:49.640 --> 00:45:50.160
 humble

00:45:50.160 --> 00:45:50.740
 trust

00:45:50.740 --> 00:45:51.400
 secure

00:45:51.400 --> 00:45:51.980
 humble

00:45:51.980 --> 00:45:52.579
 trusting

00:45:52.579 --> 00:45:53.140
 knowing

00:45:53.140 --> 00:45:54.180
 of what

00:45:54.180 --> 00:45:54.960
 is accomplished

00:45:54.960 --> 00:45:55.519
 for us

00:45:55.519 --> 00:45:55.880
 in the

00:45:55.880 --> 00:45:56.340
 gospel

00:45:56.340 --> 00:45:57.720
 and just

00:45:57.720 --> 00:45:58.440
 imagine

00:45:58.440 --> 00:45:59.740
 the security

00:45:59.740 --> 00:46:00.180
 and the

00:46:00.180 --> 00:46:00.680
 adventure

00:46:00.680 --> 00:46:01.280
 that can

00:46:01.280 --> 00:46:01.660
 begin

00:46:01.660 --> 00:46:02.440
 to go

00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:03.340
 as you

00:46:03.340 --> 00:46:03.780
 realize

00:46:03.780 --> 00:46:04.620
 the strong

00:46:04.620 --> 00:46:05.059
 grip

00:46:05.059 --> 00:46:05.920
 of God

00:46:05.920 --> 00:46:06.440
 on your

00:46:06.440 --> 00:46:06.760
 life

00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:07.740
 let's

00:46:07.740 --> 00:46:08.180
 just pray

00:46:08.180 --> 00:46:12.920
 father

00:46:12.920 --> 00:46:13.340
 ask for

00:46:13.340 --> 00:46:13.760
 those who

00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:14.200
 maybe have

00:46:14.200 --> 00:46:14.660
 never given

00:46:14.660 --> 00:46:15.160
 their lives

00:46:15.160 --> 00:46:15.500
 to you

00:46:15.500 --> 00:46:15.840
 that your

00:46:15.840 --> 00:46:16.059
 holy

00:46:16.059 --> 00:46:16.400
 spirit

00:46:16.400 --> 00:46:16.840
 would move

00:46:16.840 --> 00:46:17.360
 with might

00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:17.920
 and power

00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:18.300
 and deep

00:46:18.300 --> 00:46:18.820
 conviction

00:46:18.820 --> 00:46:19.280
 and bring

00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:19.579
 them to

00:46:19.579 --> 00:46:20.059
 that point

00:46:20.059 --> 00:46:20.340
 where they

00:46:20.340 --> 00:46:20.820
 call out

00:46:20.820 --> 00:46:21.180
 to you

00:46:21.180 --> 00:46:23.039
 and father

00:46:23.039 --> 00:46:23.500
 for all

00:46:23.500 --> 00:46:23.980
 of us

00:46:23.980 --> 00:46:24.840
 who are

00:46:24.840 --> 00:46:25.079
 here

00:46:25.079 --> 00:46:25.380
 who have

00:46:25.380 --> 00:46:25.780
 given our

00:46:25.780 --> 00:46:26.100
 lives

00:46:26.099 --> 00:46:26.619
 to Jesus

00:46:26.619 --> 00:46:27.119
 you know

00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:27.480
 father

00:46:27.480 --> 00:46:27.940
 how we

00:46:27.940 --> 00:46:28.380
 struggle

00:46:28.380 --> 00:46:29.440
 with accusation

00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:29.819
 how we

00:46:29.819 --> 00:46:30.179
 struggle

00:46:30.179 --> 00:46:30.779
 with bodily

00:46:30.779 --> 00:46:31.299
 weakness

00:46:31.299 --> 00:46:32.099
 you know

00:46:32.099 --> 00:46:32.440
 how we

00:46:32.440 --> 00:46:32.960
 can struggle

00:46:32.960 --> 00:46:33.659
 with doubts

00:46:33.659 --> 00:46:34.500
 you know

00:46:34.500 --> 00:46:34.759
 how we

00:46:34.759 --> 00:46:35.219
 can struggle

00:46:35.219 --> 00:46:35.900
 with fears

00:46:35.900 --> 00:46:36.839
 you know

00:46:36.839 --> 00:46:37.139
 father

00:46:37.139 --> 00:46:37.539
 how we

00:46:37.539 --> 00:46:37.839
 might be

00:46:37.839 --> 00:46:38.239
 afraid

00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:38.679
 to try

00:46:38.679 --> 00:46:39.000
 to do

00:46:39.000 --> 00:46:39.420
 bold

00:46:39.420 --> 00:46:39.799
 or new

00:46:39.799 --> 00:46:40.199
 things

00:46:40.199 --> 00:46:40.679
 for you

00:46:40.679 --> 00:46:41.159
 because

00:46:41.159 --> 00:46:41.839
 we're

00:46:41.839 --> 00:46:42.179
 afraid

00:46:42.179 --> 00:46:42.839
 of failing

00:46:42.839 --> 00:46:43.199
 we have

00:46:43.199 --> 00:46:43.980
 a spirit

00:46:43.980 --> 00:46:45.599
 of slavery

00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:46.980
 and fear

00:46:46.980 --> 00:46:47.739
 not a spirit

00:46:47.739 --> 00:46:48.480
 of the adoption

00:46:48.480 --> 00:46:48.960
 of us

00:46:48.960 --> 00:46:49.440
 as sons

00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:49.819
 father

00:46:49.819 --> 00:46:50.679
 we ask

00:46:50.679 --> 00:46:50.940
 that your

00:46:50.940 --> 00:46:51.519
 holy spirit

00:46:51.519 --> 00:46:51.900
 would move

00:46:51.900 --> 00:46:52.299
 mightily

00:46:52.299 --> 00:46:52.799
 in every

00:46:52.799 --> 00:46:53.339
 life that

00:46:53.339 --> 00:46:53.719
 is here

00:46:53.719 --> 00:46:54.179
 to grant

00:46:54.179 --> 00:46:54.579
 us a

00:46:54.579 --> 00:46:55.539
 secure

00:46:55.539 --> 00:46:56.820
 humble

00:46:56.820 --> 00:46:57.960
 trusting

00:46:57.960 --> 00:46:58.880
 knowing

00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:00.159
 that we

00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:00.820
 are adopted

00:47:00.820 --> 00:47:01.219
 as your

00:47:01.219 --> 00:47:01.559
 children

00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:01.920
 when we

00:47:01.920 --> 00:47:02.219
 put our

00:47:02.219 --> 00:47:02.639
 faith in

00:47:02.639 --> 00:47:02.960
 Jesus

00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:03.519
 and that

00:47:03.519 --> 00:47:03.820
 you will

00:47:03.820 --> 00:47:04.739
 glorify us

00:47:04.739 --> 00:47:05.420
 with Jesus

00:47:05.420 --> 00:47:06.719
 for all

00:47:06.719 --> 00:47:07.139
 eternity

00:47:07.139 --> 00:47:07.559
 in the new

00:47:07.559 --> 00:47:07.900
 heaven

00:47:07.900 --> 00:47:08.559
 and the new

00:47:08.559 --> 00:47:08.860
 earth

00:47:08.860 --> 00:47:10.159

00:47:10.719 --> 00:47:11.400
 every

00:47:11.400 --> 00:47:12.199
 day

00:47:12.199 --> 00:47:12.860
 within us

00:47:12.860 --> 00:47:13.739
 such a

00:47:13.739 --> 00:47:14.300
 secure

00:47:14.300 --> 00:47:14.960
 humble

00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:15.579
 trusting

00:47:15.579 --> 00:47:15.980
 knowing

00:47:15.980 --> 00:47:16.480
 and this

00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:17.000
 we ask

00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:17.679
 in Jesus'

00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:18.320
 name

00:47:18.320 --> 00:47:19.500
 amen
