WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.520
 and the camp and holiday club, I spoke about King Josiah and that young king,

00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:14.640
 eight-year-old king, the one that reformed Israel,

00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:21.080
 and he who had found the workers in the temple had found the book of the law,

00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:25.460
 and they brought it to him, and then he brought it before the people.

00:00:25.460 --> 00:00:38.920
 And I remember saying that, well, we hope and pray that the young ones that would find and have be shown the Bible,

00:00:39.820 --> 00:00:43.980
 and that they too would embrace it and understand it and look at it and say,

00:00:44.299 --> 00:00:45.980
 why are these things not being taught?

00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:50.960
 And that they would hold it high and regard it as high in their lives

00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:54.780
 and show forth to others how to live their lives.

00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:00.539
 And like I was thinking of the influence that children can have in our lives,

00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.040
 the providence that God gives us.

00:01:04.780 --> 00:01:08.560
 It was amazing to have all these children with us last week,

00:01:09.180 --> 00:01:11.819
 and how God brought them to that place,

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:17.060
 some from church backgrounds, others from unchurched backgrounds.

00:01:18.019 --> 00:01:19.579
 It was wonderful to have them,

00:01:19.579 --> 00:01:26.879
 and you can't help but wonder afterwards what influence these children will have when they leave.

00:01:27.539 --> 00:01:33.480
 And it is important for us to remember to keep praying for these children and the families that they go back to.

00:01:35.039 --> 00:01:36.980
 And in our two passages tonight,

00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:40.920
 we meet with two young girls,

00:01:41.140 --> 00:01:42.480
 two little girls.

00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:44.719
 We're not entirely sure of their ages.

00:01:45.420 --> 00:01:45.980
 In Exodus,

00:01:46.340 --> 00:01:48.760
 we have Moses's sister.

00:01:50.140 --> 00:01:51.560
 And in second Kings,

00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:55.859
 we have the slave girl who worked in the house of Naaman.

00:01:55.859 --> 00:01:59.719
 And each,

00:02:00.039 --> 00:02:01.439
 we'll take each in turn.

00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:03.159
 We'll start with Moses's sister.

00:02:03.299 --> 00:02:04.640
 But before we do this,

00:02:05.420 --> 00:02:08.379
 there's things that are common between the two of them,

00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:09.840
 and apply in the same.

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:14.159
 Both their situations are far from ideal.

00:02:15.099 --> 00:02:16.520
 They're far from comfortable.

00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:18.360
 They're far from good.

00:02:19.580 --> 00:02:19.980
 One,

00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:21.159
 Moses's sister,

00:02:21.300 --> 00:02:24.140
 had her brother cast out into the water,

00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:26.300
 for fear of him being murdered.

00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:27.980
 And the other

00:02:27.980 --> 00:02:32.800
 was captured as a slave to the Syrians from the land of Israel.

00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:35.039
 But both of them,

00:02:35.379 --> 00:02:35.860
 notably,

00:02:36.860 --> 00:02:36.920
 are

00:02:36.920 --> 00:02:38.819
 Hebrews or

00:02:38.819 --> 00:02:39.480
 Israelites.

00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:42.680
 Both within the promises of God,

00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:44.659
 both God's people.

00:02:46.099 --> 00:02:49.020
 Whether they realized it or not in their young lives,

00:02:49.620 --> 00:02:53.439
 they were marked by God and set aside for his purposes.

00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:56.240
 But in the

00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:58.640
 childish ways

00:02:58.640 --> 00:03:01.080
 and the innocence of the child,

00:03:02.300 --> 00:03:03.280
 they can

00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:06.759
 bring before us things that are hugely profound.

00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:11.399
 They reason in ways that we don't seem to reason,

00:03:11.539 --> 00:03:11.919
 and they can

00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:15.659
 leave us stumped by the questions they bring to us.

00:03:16.079 --> 00:03:17.079
 And we can say,

00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:17.280
 well,

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.219
 I didn't quite think of it like that.

00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:21.459
 But it is worth thinking about.

00:03:23.060 --> 00:03:23.879
 We can be refined

00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.479
 how they think and how they reason.

00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:31.460
 And the child has an approachability that some others won't.

00:03:32.060 --> 00:03:33.699
 Even we as adults,

00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:35.099
 we don't have the same

00:03:35.099 --> 00:03:37.299
 approachability to,

00:03:37.300 --> 00:03:40.700
 could be our own families,

00:03:41.180 --> 00:03:43.920
 or those we come into contact with as a child.

00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:47.820
 We have a voice that can be heard in a way that

00:03:47.820 --> 00:03:49.920
 others can't.

00:03:51.480 --> 00:03:52.140
 Their innocence

00:03:52.139 --> 00:03:54.619
 can have a huge influence

00:03:54.619 --> 00:03:56.219
 on the lives of many.

00:03:57.500 --> 00:04:00.319
 And there are many who can probably voice that sentiment,

00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:02.819
 that it was their own child

00:04:02.819 --> 00:04:05.539
 that brought them to Christ,

00:04:06.259 --> 00:04:08.699
 or made such an influence on them

00:04:08.699 --> 00:04:10.719
 to bring them to hear more

00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:12.159
 about the Word of God.

00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.960
 And we see the placement

00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:17.500
 of these children.

00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:20.019
 Children who are of

00:04:20.019 --> 00:04:21.060
 God's,

00:04:21.159 --> 00:04:22.120
 within the promises,

00:04:24.339 --> 00:04:25.180
 placed into

00:04:25.180 --> 00:04:28.680
 hard situations.

00:04:31.159 --> 00:04:33.000
 And we don't know the situations

00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:34.959
 that our children go home to.

00:04:36.100 --> 00:04:37.079
 And we must remember

00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.040
 they may not be as comfortable as ours.

00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:41.540
 But

00:04:41.540 --> 00:04:44.319
 we continue to pray for them.

00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:46.600
 And that they too

00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:47.819
 are loved by God.

00:04:48.939 --> 00:04:50.140
 And that they are too

00:04:50.140 --> 00:04:52.600
 may be within the providence

00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:53.840
 and found,

00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:55.280
 providence and promises

00:04:55.280 --> 00:04:56.200
 of God.

00:04:57.500 --> 00:04:59.240
 When we think of all the children

00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.240
 who have attended camps this summer,

00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.360
 who attended various holiday clubs,

00:05:04.900 --> 00:05:05.920
 those who come to

00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:07.520
 Twini Sunday School,

00:05:08.060 --> 00:05:08.460
 Creche,

00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:11.060
 and they're all being taught

00:05:11.060 --> 00:05:12.280
 about the good news

00:05:12.280 --> 00:05:12.959
 and the gospel,

00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:14.560
 what Jesus Christ

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:15.579
 has done for them.

00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:16.959
 However,

00:05:17.339 --> 00:05:18.000
 or however,

00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:19.019
 they came,

00:05:20.300 --> 00:05:21.439
 it is God's purpose

00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:22.560
 and God's providence

00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:23.360
 that they all

00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:24.040
 are there

00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:25.920
 to hear the gospel

00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:26.939
 and the good news

00:05:26.939 --> 00:05:27.680
 of Christ.

00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:29.840
 and we pray

00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:30.100
 that they may

00:05:30.100 --> 00:05:35.100
 may voice

00:05:35.100 --> 00:05:36.519
 in their innocence

00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:38.060
 faithfully

00:05:38.060 --> 00:05:39.480
 the life

00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:40.560
 and the good news

00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:41.620
 of Jesus Christ

00:05:41.620 --> 00:05:42.220
 to others,

00:05:42.660 --> 00:05:43.840
 maybe in places

00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:44.600
 that we

00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:45.600
 can't even

00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:46.160
 get to.

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:47.980
 So first,

00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:48.600
 we'll consider

00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:49.040
 Moses'

00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:49.899
 sister.

00:05:51.340 --> 00:05:52.220
 Read there

00:05:52.220 --> 00:05:52.620
 in verse

00:05:52.620 --> 00:05:53.420
 Mark 7,

00:05:53.420 --> 00:05:55.500
 Then his sister

00:05:55.500 --> 00:05:57.199
 said to Pharaoh's daughter,

00:05:58.040 --> 00:05:58.900
 Shall I go

00:05:58.900 --> 00:05:59.500
 and call

00:05:59.500 --> 00:06:00.780
 you a nurse

00:06:00.780 --> 00:06:02.199
 from the Hebrew woman

00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:03.080
 to nurse

00:06:03.080 --> 00:06:03.920
 the child

00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:04.480
 for you?

00:06:05.939 --> 00:06:06.879
 That's a remarkable

00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:07.540
 statement

00:06:07.540 --> 00:06:08.300
 when we actually

00:06:08.300 --> 00:06:09.060
 consider it,

00:06:09.140 --> 00:06:09.840
 which we will do

00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:10.340
 in a second.

00:06:11.420 --> 00:06:11.740
 Moses'

00:06:12.060 --> 00:06:13.220
 big sister,

00:06:14.220 --> 00:06:15.100
 and we know

00:06:15.100 --> 00:06:15.700
 when we look at

00:06:15.700 --> 00:06:17.180
 1 Chronicles 6,

00:06:17.259 --> 00:06:17.879
 verse 3,

00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:19.399
 it gives us

00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:20.800
 the family line.

00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:21.959
 Their father

00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:22.740
 was Amram

00:06:22.740 --> 00:06:24.659
 of a Levite,

00:06:25.060 --> 00:06:25.420
 their mother

00:06:25.420 --> 00:06:26.159
 was a Levite

00:06:26.159 --> 00:06:26.540
 as well,

00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:27.199
 we heard here.

00:06:28.139 --> 00:06:28.759
 And they had

00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:29.819
 three children,

00:06:30.500 --> 00:06:30.839
 Miriam,

00:06:31.579 --> 00:06:32.540
 Moses,

00:06:32.740 --> 00:06:33.139
 and Aaron.

00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:33.860
 So we know

00:06:33.860 --> 00:06:35.180
 that this girl

00:06:35.180 --> 00:06:36.439
 is Miriam.

00:06:39.620 --> 00:06:40.180
 And

00:06:40.180 --> 00:06:42.000
 we understand

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.000
 that she is

00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:44.600
 old enough

00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:45.399
 to grasp

00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:46.300
 what is going on.

00:06:46.300 --> 00:06:48.259
 knowing that

00:06:48.259 --> 00:06:49.139
 there is a risk

00:06:49.139 --> 00:06:49.800
 to her

00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:51.060
 baby brother,

00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:52.980
 that he must

00:06:52.980 --> 00:06:53.520
 be hidden,

00:06:54.259 --> 00:06:54.699
 the family

00:06:54.699 --> 00:06:55.660
 must hide her

00:06:55.660 --> 00:06:56.520
 and keep him

00:06:56.520 --> 00:06:57.020
 safe.

00:06:58.660 --> 00:06:59.020
 And now

00:06:59.020 --> 00:06:59.900
 the childlike

00:06:59.900 --> 00:07:00.600
 innocence,

00:07:01.259 --> 00:07:01.819
 of maybe not

00:07:01.819 --> 00:07:02.560
 understanding

00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:03.180
 everything,

00:07:03.840 --> 00:07:04.400
 leaves her

00:07:04.400 --> 00:07:05.060
 watching

00:07:05.060 --> 00:07:06.680
 this basket,

00:07:07.460 --> 00:07:07.900
 or leaves

00:07:07.900 --> 00:07:08.860
 even her

00:07:08.860 --> 00:07:09.500
 watching her

00:07:09.500 --> 00:07:10.480
 parents making

00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:11.300
 the basket,

00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:13.160
 and winding

00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:14.879
 the rushes

00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:15.360
 together,

00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:16.460
 and

00:07:16.460 --> 00:07:16.960
 putting

00:07:16.960 --> 00:07:17.520
 bitumen

00:07:17.520 --> 00:07:18.080
 and pitch

00:07:18.080 --> 00:07:18.360
 on the

00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:19.020
 inside of

00:07:19.020 --> 00:07:19.379
 it to

00:07:19.379 --> 00:07:20.040
 protect it.

00:07:20.939 --> 00:07:21.379
 And then

00:07:21.379 --> 00:07:22.800
 watching her

00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:23.680
 parents lay

00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:24.000
 in this

00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:25.300
 basket in

00:07:25.300 --> 00:07:25.740
 the river

00:07:25.740 --> 00:07:26.560
 amongst the

00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:27.199
 reeds with

00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:27.639
 her baby

00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:28.240
 brother in

00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:28.500
 it.

00:07:30.699 --> 00:07:31.680
 And after

00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:32.540
 that,

00:07:33.100 --> 00:07:35.160
 the parents

00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:35.600
 left,

00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:36.020
 it would

00:07:36.020 --> 00:07:36.340
 seem.

00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:38.720
 Possibly it

00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:39.319
 was that there

00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:39.800
 would be no

00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:40.699
 attention drawn

00:07:40.699 --> 00:07:41.460
 to the site

00:07:41.460 --> 00:07:41.740
 where they

00:07:41.740 --> 00:07:42.060
 had left

00:07:42.060 --> 00:07:42.579
 the baby

00:07:42.579 --> 00:07:43.699
 Moses.

00:07:44.019 --> 00:07:44.420
 Maybe they

00:07:44.420 --> 00:07:44.879
 couldn't

00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:45.620
 bear to

00:07:45.620 --> 00:07:46.379
 stay there

00:07:46.379 --> 00:07:47.000
 and see

00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:47.800
 what happened.

00:07:48.740 --> 00:07:49.139
 But the

00:07:49.139 --> 00:07:50.060
 sister stayed

00:07:50.060 --> 00:07:50.959
 on and

00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:51.379
 watched.

00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:53.360
 She maintained

00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:54.199
 from afar

00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:55.319
 an eye upon

00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:56.019
 the basket

00:07:56.019 --> 00:07:56.519
 where her

00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:57.240
 brother was.

00:07:58.160 --> 00:07:58.560
 And you can

00:07:58.560 --> 00:07:59.180
 picture the

00:07:59.180 --> 00:08:01.240
 scene as

00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:01.959
 she watches

00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:02.660
 Pharaoh's

00:08:02.660 --> 00:08:04.000
 daughter and

00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:04.439
 her,

00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:06.560
 I don't

00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:07.279
 name for them,

00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:08.879
 the ladies

00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:09.199
 that were

00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:09.679
 with her,

00:08:10.339 --> 00:08:12.719
 come walking

00:08:12.719 --> 00:08:13.219
 along the

00:08:13.219 --> 00:08:13.899
 riverside.

00:08:15.500 --> 00:08:16.119
 And you

00:08:16.119 --> 00:08:16.739
 can imagine

00:08:16.739 --> 00:08:17.599
 Miriam there

00:08:17.599 --> 00:08:20.500
 seeing them

00:08:20.500 --> 00:08:21.739
 coming with

00:08:21.739 --> 00:08:22.079
 fear.

00:08:23.139 --> 00:08:23.639
 Because this

00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:23.959
 would have been

00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:24.399
 the last

00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:25.459
 person she

00:08:25.459 --> 00:08:25.699
 would have

00:08:25.699 --> 00:08:26.299
 wanted to

00:08:26.299 --> 00:08:26.619
 come.

00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:29.219
 Hearing maybe

00:08:29.219 --> 00:08:29.739
 her brother

00:08:29.739 --> 00:08:30.399
 crying,

00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:31.359
 if you picture

00:08:31.359 --> 00:08:31.959
 the scene.

00:08:35.199 --> 00:08:36.039
 This is the

00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:36.519
 worst of

00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:37.220
 situations.

00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:37.860
 in her

00:08:37.860 --> 00:08:38.220
 mind.

00:08:39.259 --> 00:08:39.679
 Surely

00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:40.519
 he will

00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:41.459
 be taken

00:08:41.459 --> 00:08:43.720
 and killed.

00:08:45.319 --> 00:08:46.100
 But she

00:08:46.100 --> 00:08:46.439
 makes a

00:08:46.439 --> 00:08:47.279
 bold approach

00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:48.079
 into this

00:08:48.079 --> 00:08:48.899
 situation.

00:08:49.419 --> 00:08:50.379
 Situation that

00:08:50.379 --> 00:08:50.860
 could have so

00:08:50.860 --> 00:08:51.659
 easily turned

00:08:51.659 --> 00:08:52.339
 on its head

00:08:52.339 --> 00:08:52.879
 for her.

00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:54.539
 She walks

00:08:54.539 --> 00:08:55.179
 into it.

00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:57.379
 She says

00:08:57.379 --> 00:08:57.939
 there that

00:08:57.939 --> 00:08:59.759
 the Pharaoh's

00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:00.480
 daughter had

00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:01.379
 pity when

00:09:01.379 --> 00:09:01.799
 she saw

00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:02.459
 the child.

00:09:03.379 --> 00:09:03.779
 When she

00:09:03.779 --> 00:09:04.259
 opened it,

00:09:04.319 --> 00:09:04.659
 she saw

00:09:04.659 --> 00:09:05.159
 the child

00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:05.779
 and behold,

00:09:05.779 --> 00:09:06.879
 the baby

00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:07.459
 was crying

00:09:07.459 --> 00:09:07.779
 and she

00:09:07.779 --> 00:09:08.659
 took pity

00:09:08.659 --> 00:09:09.139
 on him

00:09:09.139 --> 00:09:09.579
 there in

00:09:09.579 --> 00:09:10.199
 verse 6.

00:09:11.459 --> 00:09:11.759
 And the

00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:12.199
 baby is

00:09:12.199 --> 00:09:12.720
 identified

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:13.539
 clearly as

00:09:13.539 --> 00:09:14.059
 one of the

00:09:14.059 --> 00:09:14.459
 Hebrew

00:09:14.459 --> 00:09:15.519
 children.

00:09:17.459 --> 00:09:18.259
 Whether or

00:09:18.259 --> 00:09:18.860
 not Miriam

00:09:18.860 --> 00:09:20.100
 realised the

00:09:20.100 --> 00:09:20.659
 pity she

00:09:20.659 --> 00:09:21.139
 had,

00:09:22.079 --> 00:09:22.759
 she surely

00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:23.539
 sensed it.

00:09:24.740 --> 00:09:25.399
 And children,

00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:26.679
 we don't give

00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:27.199
 them credit

00:09:27.199 --> 00:09:27.839
 at times

00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:28.519
 how they

00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:29.540
 sense

00:09:29.540 --> 00:09:30.040
 things.

00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:31.019
 But they

00:09:31.019 --> 00:09:31.460
 can pick

00:09:31.460 --> 00:09:31.820
 up on

00:09:31.820 --> 00:09:32.519
 things like

00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:33.639
 maybe we

00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:34.399
 don't.

00:09:35.280 --> 00:09:35.580
 And they

00:09:35.580 --> 00:09:36.160
 can trust,

00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:36.759
 they know

00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:37.200
 who to

00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:38.100
 trust and

00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:38.480
 know who

00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:39.320
 not to

00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:39.800
 trust.

00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:42.120
 And she

00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:42.980
 knew this

00:09:42.980 --> 00:09:43.620
 woman had

00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:44.879
 pity on

00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:45.399
 her brother.

00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:47.100
 And she

00:09:47.100 --> 00:09:47.420
 placed

00:09:47.420 --> 00:09:48.639
 ignorance to

00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:49.340
 knowing the

00:09:49.340 --> 00:09:49.680
 baby.

00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:49.739
 pity.

00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:52.120
 And in

00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:52.819
 the situation

00:09:52.819 --> 00:09:54.739
 walks in

00:09:54.739 --> 00:09:56.559
 seeing that

00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:56.879
 she had

00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:57.899
 pity and

00:09:57.899 --> 00:09:58.179
 says,

00:09:58.339 --> 00:09:58.799
 shall I

00:09:58.799 --> 00:09:59.279
 go and

00:09:59.279 --> 00:09:59.759
 call you

00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:00.139
 a nurse

00:10:00.139 --> 00:10:00.500
 from the

00:10:00.500 --> 00:10:00.819
 Hebrew

00:10:00.819 --> 00:10:01.439
 woman to

00:10:01.439 --> 00:10:02.379
 nurse the

00:10:02.379 --> 00:10:03.059
 child for

00:10:03.059 --> 00:10:03.359
 you?

00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:08.379
 to say

00:10:08.379 --> 00:10:09.039
 this to

00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:09.580
 Pharaoh's

00:10:09.580 --> 00:10:10.259
 daughter is

00:10:10.259 --> 00:10:10.580
 quite

00:10:10.580 --> 00:10:11.240
 remarkable.

00:10:12.779 --> 00:10:13.240
 But she

00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:13.759
 went straight

00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:14.320
 into that

00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:14.820
 tender

00:10:14.820 --> 00:10:15.919
 situation

00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:16.580
 where the

00:10:16.580 --> 00:10:17.000
 life of

00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:17.480
 her brother

00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:18.879
 hanged on

00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:19.500
 the edge

00:10:19.500 --> 00:10:19.800
 of a

00:10:19.800 --> 00:10:21.440
 cord and

00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:22.320
 said these

00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:22.899
 things.

00:10:24.019 --> 00:10:24.519
 That she

00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:25.019
 would go and

00:10:25.019 --> 00:10:25.279
 get a

00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:25.639
 Hebrew

00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:27.340
 woman from

00:10:27.340 --> 00:10:28.240
 the Hebrews

00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:28.740
 whom they

00:10:28.740 --> 00:10:29.139
 hated,

00:10:29.680 --> 00:10:30.340
 the Hebrews

00:10:30.340 --> 00:10:30.860
 whom they

00:10:30.860 --> 00:10:31.539
 wanted to

00:10:31.539 --> 00:10:32.220
 reduce a

00:10:32.220 --> 00:10:32.560
 number.

00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:33.800
 That she

00:10:33.800 --> 00:10:34.080
 would go

00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:34.340
 and get

00:10:34.340 --> 00:10:34.720
 one of

00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:34.980
 them.

00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:36.539
 And likewise

00:10:36.539 --> 00:10:37.060
 that she

00:10:37.060 --> 00:10:37.620
 would go

00:10:37.620 --> 00:10:41.159
 and risk

00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:41.600
 others

00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:42.120
 Hebrew

00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:42.740
 child

00:10:42.740 --> 00:10:44.580
 given to

00:10:44.580 --> 00:10:45.840
 her that

00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:46.360
 you should

00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:46.879
 be killing.

00:10:48.700 --> 00:10:49.399
 But how

00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:49.779
 to come

00:10:49.779 --> 00:10:50.240
 into this

00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:50.720
 situation

00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:51.100
 and say

00:10:51.100 --> 00:10:51.759
 these things?

00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:52.000
 It's

00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:52.820
 unfathomable.

00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:53.200
 We

00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:53.560
 wouldn't

00:10:53.560 --> 00:10:54.039
 say it.

00:10:54.740 --> 00:10:55.220
 It's just

00:10:55.220 --> 00:10:56.100
 too far

00:10:56.100 --> 00:10:56.700
 beyond our

00:10:56.700 --> 00:10:57.300
 understanding

00:10:57.300 --> 00:10:58.480
 that no

00:10:58.480 --> 00:10:58.980
 one would

00:10:58.980 --> 00:10:59.720
 respond to

00:10:59.720 --> 00:10:59.940
 it in

00:10:59.940 --> 00:11:00.340
 such a

00:11:00.340 --> 00:11:00.519
 way.

00:11:01.899 --> 00:11:02.420
 We

00:11:02.420 --> 00:11:02.820
 would maybe

00:11:02.820 --> 00:11:03.120
 get a

00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:03.520
 hostile

00:11:03.520 --> 00:11:04.460
 retaliation

00:11:04.460 --> 00:11:05.260
 to suggest

00:11:05.260 --> 00:11:06.020
 to get

00:11:06.020 --> 00:11:06.480
 a Hebrew

00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:07.220
 mother to

00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:07.660
 look after

00:11:07.660 --> 00:11:08.100
 the Hebrew

00:11:08.100 --> 00:11:08.760
 child that

00:11:08.760 --> 00:11:09.120
 should have

00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:09.680
 been killed.

00:11:11.640 --> 00:11:12.500
 In a sense

00:11:12.500 --> 00:11:13.080
 no one else

00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:13.440
 could have

00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:13.920
 said it but

00:11:13.920 --> 00:11:14.500
 a child.

00:11:15.920 --> 00:11:16.260
 And the

00:11:16.260 --> 00:11:16.760
 words that

00:11:16.760 --> 00:11:17.260
 she heard

00:11:17.260 --> 00:11:17.600
 from the

00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:18.060
 Pharaoh's

00:11:18.060 --> 00:11:18.720
 daughter was

00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:19.000
 go.

00:11:20.920 --> 00:11:21.540
 So she

00:11:21.540 --> 00:11:23.120
 went and

00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:23.520
 she had the

00:11:23.520 --> 00:11:24.080
 wisdom to

00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.900
 discern that

00:11:26.900 --> 00:11:27.440
 she could get

00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:27.940
 her mother

00:11:27.940 --> 00:11:29.500
 as the

00:11:29.500 --> 00:11:30.460
 best of

00:11:30.460 --> 00:11:31.060
 woman to

00:11:31.060 --> 00:11:31.620
 look after

00:11:31.620 --> 00:11:33.020
 her brother.

00:11:34.660 --> 00:11:34.840
 And you

00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:35.260
 can imagine

00:11:35.260 --> 00:11:35.780
 the joy

00:11:35.780 --> 00:11:36.460
 she had

00:11:36.460 --> 00:11:37.960
 in running

00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:38.880
 to get

00:11:38.880 --> 00:11:39.420
 her mother

00:11:39.420 --> 00:11:40.360
 to come

00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:41.000
 and nurse

00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:41.880
 her brother

00:11:41.880 --> 00:11:43.180
 and her

00:11:43.180 --> 00:11:43.640
 son.

00:11:45.220 --> 00:11:45.760
 He was

00:11:45.760 --> 00:11:46.560
 within moments

00:11:46.560 --> 00:11:47.400
 of death.

00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:49.820
 We have

00:11:49.820 --> 00:11:50.480
 here the

00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:51.180
 most wonderful

00:11:51.180 --> 00:11:52.720
 restoration of

00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:53.160
 the greatest

00:11:53.160 --> 00:11:54.100
 love, of

00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:54.460
 one of the

00:11:54.460 --> 00:11:55.100
 greatest loves

00:11:55.100 --> 00:11:55.379
 that we

00:11:55.379 --> 00:11:55.800
 can know

00:11:55.800 --> 00:11:56.659
 in our

00:11:56.659 --> 00:11:57.139
 existence.

00:11:57.440 --> 00:11:58.040
 A mother's

00:11:58.040 --> 00:11:59.060
 love for

00:11:59.060 --> 00:11:59.620
 a child

00:11:59.620 --> 00:12:01.180
 who she

00:12:01.180 --> 00:12:01.680
 had to

00:12:01.680 --> 00:12:02.360
 painfully

00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:03.000
 abandon,

00:12:03.860 --> 00:12:04.220
 who she

00:12:04.220 --> 00:12:04.600
 had to

00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:05.019
 lift,

00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:06.820
 she had to

00:12:06.820 --> 00:12:07.480
 leave there

00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:08.759
 because she

00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:09.620
 had done all

00:12:09.620 --> 00:12:10.159
 she could

00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:10.519
 for the

00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:11.639
 child and

00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:12.060
 she couldn't

00:12:12.060 --> 00:12:12.399
 do any

00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:12.980
 more for

00:12:12.980 --> 00:12:13.159
 it.

00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:14.259
 Her heart

00:12:14.259 --> 00:12:14.440
 would have

00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:15.019
 been broken

00:12:15.019 --> 00:12:15.620
 putting the

00:12:15.620 --> 00:12:16.800
 child into

00:12:16.800 --> 00:12:17.300
 the river.

00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:20.000
 But we

00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:20.460
 have this

00:12:20.460 --> 00:12:21.019
 restoration

00:12:21.019 --> 00:12:22.980
 made through

00:12:22.980 --> 00:12:24.000
 this child

00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:25.539
 of one of

00:12:25.539 --> 00:12:25.980
 the greatest

00:12:25.980 --> 00:12:26.919
 loves that

00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:27.279
 we can

00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:27.580
 know.

00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:30.019
 This child

00:12:30.019 --> 00:12:30.340
 in the

00:12:30.340 --> 00:12:31.080
 providence of

00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:31.519
 God

00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:33.399
 faithfully

00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:33.960
 kept an

00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:34.820
 eye upon

00:12:34.820 --> 00:12:35.480
 the child

00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.659
 and responded

00:12:37.659 --> 00:12:38.179
 with these

00:12:38.179 --> 00:12:38.799
 childlike

00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:39.620
 impulses

00:12:39.620 --> 00:12:41.240
 to restore

00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:42.200
 that love.

00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:44.159
 And the

00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:44.700
 situation

00:12:44.700 --> 00:12:45.399
 which was

00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:46.159
 so bleak

00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:47.059
 and so

00:12:47.059 --> 00:12:47.500
 hopeless

00:12:47.500 --> 00:12:48.340
 before

00:12:48.340 --> 00:12:49.740
 is turned

00:12:49.740 --> 00:12:50.139
 on its

00:12:50.139 --> 00:12:50.620
 head

00:12:50.620 --> 00:12:52.320
 to give

00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:53.360
 an unspeakable

00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:53.840
 joy,

00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:55.039
 because it

00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:55.779
 was really

00:12:55.779 --> 00:12:56.700
 an unspeakable

00:12:56.700 --> 00:12:57.100
 joy.

00:12:57.799 --> 00:12:57.940
 They

00:12:57.940 --> 00:12:58.379
 couldn't

00:12:58.379 --> 00:13:00.100
 say of

00:13:00.100 --> 00:13:00.799
 whom their

00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:01.559
 love was

00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:01.980
 for each

00:13:01.980 --> 00:13:02.220
 other.

00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:03.419
 It had

00:13:03.419 --> 00:13:03.940
 to be a

00:13:03.940 --> 00:13:04.259
 secret.

00:13:06.340 --> 00:13:06.759
 And his

00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:07.340
 sister,

00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:09.059
 Miriam,

00:13:10.100 --> 00:13:10.960
 whatever

00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:12.080
 she had

00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:12.879
 been taught,

00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:14.820
 this young

00:13:14.820 --> 00:13:15.720
 girl had

00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:16.519
 witnessed,

00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:17.919
 well,

00:13:18.059 --> 00:13:18.940
 strange things.

00:13:19.100 --> 00:13:19.679
 She witnessed

00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:20.480
 the faith

00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:21.559
 enacted by

00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:22.340
 her parents

00:13:22.340 --> 00:13:23.139
 for making

00:13:23.139 --> 00:13:23.759
 the basket,

00:13:25.199 --> 00:13:25.699
 placing her

00:13:25.699 --> 00:13:26.240
 brother in

00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:26.500
 it,

00:13:27.019 --> 00:13:28.740
 and leaving

00:13:28.740 --> 00:13:29.779
 him there

00:13:29.779 --> 00:13:30.080
 in the

00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:30.319
 river.

00:13:32.340 --> 00:13:32.879
 She was

00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:33.220
 the one

00:13:33.220 --> 00:13:33.759
 that waited

00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:35.139
 on their

00:13:35.139 --> 00:13:35.600
 faith.

00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:36.500
 She waited

00:13:36.500 --> 00:13:37.199
 to see

00:13:37.199 --> 00:13:37.879
 what would

00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:38.179
 be the

00:13:38.179 --> 00:13:38.980
 outcome of

00:13:38.980 --> 00:13:40.159
 the parents'

00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:40.600
 faith.

00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:43.340
 She could

00:13:43.340 --> 00:13:43.740
 stay,

00:13:44.439 --> 00:13:44.980
 and so

00:13:44.980 --> 00:13:45.819
 she remained

00:13:45.819 --> 00:13:46.080
 there.

00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.759
 waited to

00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:49.500
 see what

00:13:49.500 --> 00:13:49.980
 would come

00:13:49.980 --> 00:13:50.320
 of it.

00:13:51.860 --> 00:13:52.460
 And she

00:13:52.460 --> 00:13:53.300
 saw the

00:13:53.300 --> 00:13:54.480
 favour of

00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:55.700
 God acted

00:13:55.700 --> 00:13:56.540
 in faith.

00:13:57.900 --> 00:13:58.800
 And she

00:13:58.800 --> 00:13:59.840
 spoke herself

00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:00.820
 out of

00:14:00.820 --> 00:14:02.100
 faith,

00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:04.600
 and knowing

00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:06.400
 a joy to

00:14:06.400 --> 00:14:06.960
 have a love

00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:07.600
 restored,

00:14:08.400 --> 00:14:09.040
 she saw

00:14:09.040 --> 00:14:09.740
 faith being

00:14:09.740 --> 00:14:10.379
 acted out,

00:14:10.460 --> 00:14:10.800
 and she

00:14:10.800 --> 00:14:12.560
 herself acted

00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:13.739
 out faithfully,

00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:15.319
 and drawing

00:14:15.319 --> 00:14:15.979
 near into

00:14:15.979 --> 00:14:16.619
 that tender

00:14:16.619 --> 00:14:17.379
 situation.

00:14:18.719 --> 00:14:19.059
 And by

00:14:19.059 --> 00:14:19.779
 trusting in

00:14:19.779 --> 00:14:20.179
 God,

00:14:21.079 --> 00:14:23.719
 was able to

00:14:23.719 --> 00:14:24.639
 restore the

00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:25.579
 greatest love.

00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:27.659
 And it is,

00:14:27.779 --> 00:14:28.319
 in a sense,

00:14:29.219 --> 00:14:29.779
 what we have

00:14:29.779 --> 00:14:30.039
 in the

00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:30.399
 gospel.

00:14:31.219 --> 00:14:31.799
 It may be

00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:32.799
 a weak

00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:33.239
 image,

00:14:33.379 --> 00:14:33.959
 in a sense,

00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:36.000
 but we

00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:36.599
 have here

00:14:36.599 --> 00:14:38.119
 in the

00:14:38.119 --> 00:14:38.479
 girl,

00:14:39.859 --> 00:14:40.279
 like the

00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:41.179
 gospel message.

00:14:41.179 --> 00:14:43.620
 that Christ

00:14:43.620 --> 00:14:44.639
 is like

00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:45.299
 the child.

00:14:46.620 --> 00:14:47.079
 And we

00:14:47.079 --> 00:14:47.439
 are the

00:14:47.439 --> 00:14:47.879
 ones,

00:14:47.979 --> 00:14:48.279
 as the

00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:48.659
 parents,

00:14:48.779 --> 00:14:48.979
 that have

00:14:48.979 --> 00:14:49.539
 been pushed

00:14:49.539 --> 00:14:50.339
 away because

00:14:50.339 --> 00:14:50.959
 of sin.

00:14:51.939 --> 00:14:52.439
 The sin,

00:14:52.819 --> 00:14:54.679
 the Pharaoh

00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:56.079
 had sinfully

00:14:56.079 --> 00:14:57.599
 said that the

00:14:57.599 --> 00:14:58.259
 children should

00:14:58.259 --> 00:14:58.620
 die.

00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:00.579
 And we

00:15:00.579 --> 00:15:00.959
 have been

00:15:00.959 --> 00:15:01.719
 pushed away

00:15:01.719 --> 00:15:03.179
 from that

00:15:03.179 --> 00:15:03.539
 love.

00:15:05.179 --> 00:15:05.859
 We have

00:15:05.859 --> 00:15:06.479
 been separated

00:15:06.479 --> 00:15:06.959
 from the

00:15:06.959 --> 00:15:07.819
 greatest love

00:15:07.819 --> 00:15:08.620
 because of the

00:15:08.620 --> 00:15:09.439
 sins of men

00:15:09.439 --> 00:15:10.179
 and the sins

00:15:10.179 --> 00:15:10.799
 of our own.

00:15:11.179 --> 00:15:11.679
 sin.

00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:13.699
 But the

00:15:13.699 --> 00:15:14.099
 believer

00:15:14.099 --> 00:15:16.139
 who knows

00:15:16.139 --> 00:15:16.919
 Christ,

00:15:17.500 --> 00:15:17.759
 who has

00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:18.279
 that blood

00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:18.859
 connection

00:15:18.859 --> 00:15:19.779
 with Christ,

00:15:20.699 --> 00:15:21.539
 holds on

00:15:21.539 --> 00:15:22.399
 throughout the

00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:23.099
 situation,

00:15:23.500 --> 00:15:23.779
 though it

00:15:23.779 --> 00:15:23.939
 would be

00:15:23.939 --> 00:15:24.439
 fearful,

00:15:24.659 --> 00:15:24.879
 though it

00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:25.019
 would be

00:15:25.019 --> 00:15:25.479
 difficult.

00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:28.500
 And they

00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:29.139
 can see

00:15:29.139 --> 00:15:30.419
 that the

00:15:30.419 --> 00:15:30.819
 son,

00:15:31.839 --> 00:15:32.379
 whom they

00:15:32.379 --> 00:15:32.699
 have been

00:15:32.699 --> 00:15:33.219
 faithfully

00:15:33.219 --> 00:15:34.039
 watching on,

00:15:34.779 --> 00:15:35.159
 has been

00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:36.179
 uplifted from

00:15:36.179 --> 00:15:37.939
 death and

00:15:37.939 --> 00:15:38.419
 rescued.

00:15:38.419 --> 00:15:41.319
 and we

00:15:41.319 --> 00:15:41.899
 can run

00:15:41.899 --> 00:15:44.379
 and say

00:15:44.379 --> 00:15:45.279
 to each

00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:45.679
 other,

00:15:46.379 --> 00:15:46.699
 he is

00:15:46.699 --> 00:15:47.319
 alive,

00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:48.459
 he is

00:15:48.459 --> 00:15:49.039
 alive.

00:15:50.620 --> 00:15:50.799
 How

00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:51.719
 beautiful were

00:15:51.719 --> 00:15:52.439
 these feet

00:15:52.439 --> 00:15:53.659
 that brought

00:15:53.659 --> 00:15:54.079
 the good

00:15:54.079 --> 00:15:55.019
 news to

00:15:55.019 --> 00:15:55.539
 that mother.

00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:59.199
 As if

00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:01.920
 the spirit

00:16:01.920 --> 00:16:04.080
 at work

00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:06.060
 asking,

00:16:07.060 --> 00:16:08.160
 that gospel

00:16:08.160 --> 00:16:09.120
 message asking,

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:10.500
 shall I

00:16:10.500 --> 00:16:10.820
 go?

00:16:11.820 --> 00:16:12.460
 And God

00:16:12.460 --> 00:16:12.900
 saying,

00:16:13.100 --> 00:16:13.340
 go,

00:16:13.340 --> 00:16:15.540
 go and

00:16:15.540 --> 00:16:16.100
 tell the

00:16:16.100 --> 00:16:16.580
 people

00:16:16.580 --> 00:16:18.259
 that their

00:16:18.259 --> 00:16:18.960
 love can be

00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:19.580
 restored.

00:16:19.580 --> 00:16:23.139
 and that

00:16:23.139 --> 00:16:23.580
 men and

00:16:23.580 --> 00:16:24.280
 women can

00:16:24.280 --> 00:16:25.200
 have the

00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:25.920
 greatest love

00:16:25.920 --> 00:16:27.560
 restored in

00:16:27.560 --> 00:16:28.259
 knowing Christ

00:16:28.259 --> 00:16:28.820
 Jesus.

00:16:29.400 --> 00:16:29.960
 Maybe it's a

00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:30.700
 love that we

00:16:30.700 --> 00:16:32.139
 don't know

00:16:32.139 --> 00:16:32.700
 in full.

00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:35.080
 But through

00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:35.740
 the gospel,

00:16:36.340 --> 00:16:36.700
 and through

00:16:36.700 --> 00:16:37.340
 the ones who

00:16:37.340 --> 00:16:37.920
 brings it,

00:16:38.139 --> 00:16:38.400
 and through

00:16:38.400 --> 00:16:38.980
 the ones who

00:16:38.980 --> 00:16:40.379
 faithfully keep

00:16:40.379 --> 00:16:40.940
 their eye on

00:16:40.940 --> 00:16:41.420
 Christ,

00:16:42.420 --> 00:16:43.360
 we can say

00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:44.200
 to one

00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:44.580
 another,

00:16:45.660 --> 00:16:46.360
 to come.

00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:48.580
 but he

00:16:48.580 --> 00:16:49.399
 calls us

00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:50.759
 to himself.

00:16:52.539 --> 00:16:53.580
 No greater

00:16:53.580 --> 00:16:55.379
 joy is

00:16:55.379 --> 00:16:56.000
 there to

00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:56.680
 know the

00:16:56.680 --> 00:16:57.100
 love of

00:16:57.100 --> 00:16:58.759
 God in

00:16:58.759 --> 00:16:59.500
 our lives.

00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:00.560
 A love

00:17:00.560 --> 00:17:01.120
 that was

00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:01.659
 known in

00:17:01.659 --> 00:17:02.460
 past ages.

00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:04.620
 God

00:17:04.620 --> 00:17:05.220
 dwelt with

00:17:05.220 --> 00:17:05.640
 man in

00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:06.059
 the Garden

00:17:06.059 --> 00:17:06.539
 of Eden.

00:17:07.980 --> 00:17:08.440
 And through

00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:09.220
 that son,

00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:10.259
 it is

00:17:10.259 --> 00:17:11.120
 restored to

00:17:11.120 --> 00:17:12.860
 us a

00:17:12.860 --> 00:17:13.539
 great love.

00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:15.539
 For Moses

00:17:15.539 --> 00:17:16.500
 became the

00:17:16.500 --> 00:17:16.779
 ruler,

00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:17.500
 defender,

00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:18.359
 deliverer,

00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:19.259
 intercessor for

00:17:19.259 --> 00:17:19.759
 the people.

00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:21.159
 And so

00:17:21.159 --> 00:17:21.879
 Christ is

00:17:21.879 --> 00:17:22.599
 to us

00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:24.200
 the source

00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:25.639
 of all

00:17:25.639 --> 00:17:26.139
 hope,

00:17:26.619 --> 00:17:27.220
 as Moses

00:17:27.220 --> 00:17:27.779
 came to

00:17:27.779 --> 00:17:28.139
 be for

00:17:28.139 --> 00:17:28.579
 the people

00:17:28.579 --> 00:17:29.099
 of Israel.

00:17:29.779 --> 00:17:30.319
 And in

00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:31.119
 Christ he

00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:31.579
 is the

00:17:31.579 --> 00:17:31.980
 source of

00:17:31.980 --> 00:17:32.539
 our hope.

00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:34.099
 And great

00:17:34.099 --> 00:17:35.259
 joy we

00:17:35.259 --> 00:17:36.859
 find when

00:17:36.859 --> 00:17:37.240
 we know

00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:37.619
 that we

00:17:37.619 --> 00:17:38.279
 are called

00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:38.920
 and we

00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:39.700
 know that

00:17:39.700 --> 00:17:40.220
 the love

00:17:40.220 --> 00:17:41.119
 of Christ

00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:41.839
 is restored

00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:42.519
 to us.

00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:45.079
 through that

00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:45.940
 young girl

00:17:45.940 --> 00:17:46.900
 who held

00:17:46.900 --> 00:17:47.319
 on in

00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:47.740
 faith,

00:17:48.740 --> 00:17:49.379
 saw an

00:17:49.379 --> 00:17:49.819
 enacted

00:17:49.819 --> 00:17:50.819
 faith,

00:17:51.740 --> 00:17:52.039
 and went

00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:52.819
 boldly into

00:17:52.819 --> 00:17:54.079
 situations that

00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:55.660
 were terrifying

00:17:55.660 --> 00:17:56.379
 for her,

00:17:57.599 --> 00:17:58.279
 but received

00:17:58.279 --> 00:17:59.299
 great joy

00:17:59.299 --> 00:18:00.859
 in restoring

00:18:00.859 --> 00:18:01.339
 love.

00:18:03.639 --> 00:18:04.500
 Wouldn't it be a

00:18:04.500 --> 00:18:05.460
 great joy for

00:18:05.460 --> 00:18:07.039
 us if we

00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:07.759
 saw people

00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:08.420
 coming to

00:18:08.420 --> 00:18:09.039
 know of that

00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:09.420
 love?

00:18:09.420 --> 00:18:12.080
 boys and

00:18:12.080 --> 00:18:12.500
 girls,

00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:13.039
 men and

00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:13.380
 women,

00:18:15.500 --> 00:18:15.920
 to know

00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:16.200
 the

00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:16.900
 restoration

00:18:16.900 --> 00:18:18.080
 of the

00:18:18.080 --> 00:18:18.680
 great love

00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:19.220
 of Jesus

00:18:19.220 --> 00:18:20.220
 Christ for

00:18:20.220 --> 00:18:20.440
 when.

00:18:23.259 --> 00:18:24.019
 We'll turn

00:18:24.019 --> 00:18:24.519
 now to the

00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:24.920
 book of

00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:25.720
 2 Kings.

00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:28.019
 And there's

00:18:28.019 --> 00:18:28.980
 a passage

00:18:28.980 --> 00:18:29.480
 there about

00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:29.960
 the girl

00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:30.980
 who was

00:18:30.980 --> 00:18:31.380
 captured

00:18:31.380 --> 00:18:32.220
 by the

00:18:32.220 --> 00:18:32.660
 Syrians.

00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:34.320
 And let's

00:18:34.320 --> 00:18:34.740
 read there

00:18:34.740 --> 00:18:35.120
 in verse

00:18:35.120 --> 00:18:36.340
 3 what

00:18:36.340 --> 00:18:37.000
 she says.

00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:38.579
 Would

00:18:38.579 --> 00:18:39.059
 that my

00:18:39.059 --> 00:18:39.579
 lord were

00:18:39.579 --> 00:18:39.940
 with the

00:18:39.940 --> 00:18:40.500
 prophet who

00:18:40.500 --> 00:18:40.839
 is in

00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:41.319
 Samaria,

00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:42.759
 he would

00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:43.480
 cure him

00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:43.980
 of his

00:18:43.980 --> 00:18:44.579
 leprosy.

00:18:45.500 --> 00:18:46.019
 This young

00:18:46.019 --> 00:18:46.519
 girl, as we

00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:46.920
 said, is

00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:47.460
 not in the

00:18:47.460 --> 00:18:47.859
 preferred

00:18:47.859 --> 00:18:48.640
 conditions that

00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:48.900
 she would

00:18:48.900 --> 00:18:49.460
 have liked,

00:18:50.099 --> 00:18:50.599
 far from

00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:51.019
 ideal,

00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:52.279
 captured from

00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:52.799
 Israel,

00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:54.059
 likely to

00:18:54.059 --> 00:18:54.359
 have been

00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:55.079
 separated from

00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:55.740
 her parents,

00:18:56.339 --> 00:18:56.880
 but again

00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:58.079
 this mouthpiece,

00:18:58.279 --> 00:18:58.640
 and little

00:18:58.640 --> 00:18:59.680
 mouthpiece as

00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:00.140
 it is,

00:19:00.859 --> 00:19:01.400
 placed by

00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:02.180
 God, by

00:19:02.180 --> 00:19:02.900
 his providence

00:19:02.900 --> 00:19:03.339
 again,

00:19:04.339 --> 00:19:05.019
 among the

00:19:05.019 --> 00:19:05.740
 esteemed of

00:19:05.740 --> 00:19:06.259
 the world,

00:19:06.700 --> 00:19:07.839
 to give

00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:08.220
 them

00:19:08.220 --> 00:19:09.160
 direction.

00:19:10.380 --> 00:19:10.960
 We

00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:11.559
 couldn't have

00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:12.099
 been there.

00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:13.160
 It could

00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:13.640
 only have

00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:14.019
 been a

00:19:14.019 --> 00:19:14.460
 child.

00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:16.799
 She has

00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:17.420
 identified

00:19:17.420 --> 00:19:21.700
 the plight

00:19:21.700 --> 00:19:22.259
 of Naaman

00:19:22.259 --> 00:19:23.140
 by being

00:19:23.140 --> 00:19:23.539
 in that

00:19:23.539 --> 00:19:24.079
 household,

00:19:25.019 --> 00:19:25.500
 by being

00:19:25.500 --> 00:19:25.880
 in that

00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:26.380
 esteemed

00:19:26.380 --> 00:19:27.000
 household,

00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:28.279
 working

00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:28.839
 alongside

00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:30.799
 his wife,

00:19:31.700 --> 00:19:32.380
 and

00:19:32.380 --> 00:19:33.000
 confidently

00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:33.779
 declared a

00:19:33.779 --> 00:19:34.299
 message of

00:19:34.299 --> 00:19:35.500
 hope there.

00:19:35.740 --> 00:19:36.160
 in verse

00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:36.559
 3.

00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:39.099
 And there's

00:19:39.099 --> 00:19:39.420
 a message

00:19:39.420 --> 00:19:40.019
 of hope

00:19:40.019 --> 00:19:41.319
 that draws

00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:41.900
 them closer

00:19:41.900 --> 00:19:42.880
 to the

00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:43.240
 enemy,

00:19:44.259 --> 00:19:44.720
 of whom

00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:45.019
 they had

00:19:45.019 --> 00:19:45.380
 been

00:19:45.380 --> 00:19:48.539
 stealing

00:19:48.539 --> 00:19:49.099
 from,

00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:50.440
 and plundering

00:19:50.440 --> 00:19:51.539
 many a

00:19:51.539 --> 00:19:51.960
 times,

00:19:53.059 --> 00:19:53.579
 and she

00:19:53.579 --> 00:19:54.339
 herself had

00:19:54.339 --> 00:19:54.980
 been plundered

00:19:54.980 --> 00:19:55.460
 from them.

00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:56.819
 And there

00:19:56.819 --> 00:19:57.420
 she brings

00:19:57.420 --> 00:19:57.960
 this message

00:19:57.960 --> 00:19:58.500
 of hope

00:19:58.500 --> 00:19:58.819
 to be

00:19:58.819 --> 00:19:59.200
 found

00:19:59.200 --> 00:19:59.559
 amongst

00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:00.240
 that land.

00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:02.099
 And you

00:20:02.099 --> 00:20:02.859
 wonder why,

00:20:03.099 --> 00:20:03.700
 or how did

00:20:03.700 --> 00:20:04.099
 she know

00:20:04.099 --> 00:20:04.899
 these things?

00:20:06.019 --> 00:20:06.699
 How did

00:20:06.699 --> 00:20:07.079
 she know

00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:07.379
 that the

00:20:07.379 --> 00:20:07.659
 prophet

00:20:07.659 --> 00:20:08.419
 would save

00:20:08.419 --> 00:20:10.519
 and cure

00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:11.679
 Naaman's

00:20:11.679 --> 00:20:12.199
 leprosy?

00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:14.219
 We don't

00:20:14.219 --> 00:20:14.599
 know for

00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:14.959
 sure,

00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:16.559
 but we

00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:17.119
 know that

00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:17.859
 she knew

00:20:17.859 --> 00:20:18.519
 about the

00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:18.859
 prophet,

00:20:19.539 --> 00:20:20.740
 and she

00:20:20.740 --> 00:20:21.519
 knew that

00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:21.819
 he could

00:20:21.819 --> 00:20:22.519
 do miraculous

00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:23.339
 works and

00:20:23.339 --> 00:20:23.919
 signs.

00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:25.900
 she had

00:20:25.900 --> 00:20:26.580
 been taught

00:20:26.580 --> 00:20:28.960
 things of

00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:29.320
 God.

00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:30.840
 She had

00:20:30.840 --> 00:20:31.340
 been taught

00:20:31.340 --> 00:20:31.700
 about the

00:20:31.700 --> 00:20:32.259
 power of

00:20:32.259 --> 00:20:32.620
 God,

00:20:33.140 --> 00:20:34.019
 and she

00:20:34.019 --> 00:20:34.440
 had no

00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:35.100
 doubt about

00:20:35.100 --> 00:20:35.519
 it.

00:20:35.900 --> 00:20:36.300
 She did

00:20:36.300 --> 00:20:37.000
 not waver

00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:37.519
 in it,

00:20:38.060 --> 00:20:39.340
 but she

00:20:39.340 --> 00:20:40.019
 had confidence

00:20:40.019 --> 00:20:40.880
 in this

00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:42.340
 time to

00:20:42.340 --> 00:20:43.420
 say that

00:20:43.420 --> 00:20:45.620
 Naaman can

00:20:45.620 --> 00:20:46.060
 be healed

00:20:46.060 --> 00:20:46.360
 of his

00:20:46.360 --> 00:20:47.820
 leprosy if

00:20:47.820 --> 00:20:48.060
 he would

00:20:48.060 --> 00:20:48.480
 meet the

00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:48.840
 man of

00:20:48.840 --> 00:20:49.220
 God.

00:20:51.120 --> 00:20:51.759
 And God's

00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:52.320
 providence,

00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:53.039
 she is

00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:53.340
 there.

00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:54.380
 To bring

00:20:54.380 --> 00:20:55.039
 hope to

00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:55.620
 this man.

00:20:56.920 --> 00:20:57.340
 She had

00:20:57.340 --> 00:20:57.980
 been prepared

00:20:57.980 --> 00:20:58.660
 and taught

00:20:58.660 --> 00:21:00.740
 likely by

00:21:00.740 --> 00:21:01.400
 her parents

00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:02.060
 she would

00:21:02.060 --> 00:21:02.480
 have seen

00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:03.100
 these things

00:21:03.100 --> 00:21:03.840
 beside her.

00:21:05.259 --> 00:21:05.759
 Whether she

00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:06.420
 valued it at

00:21:06.420 --> 00:21:07.080
 the time when

00:21:07.080 --> 00:21:07.720
 she was younger

00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:08.400
 or not,

00:21:08.460 --> 00:21:08.880
 we do not

00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:09.180
 know.

00:21:10.320 --> 00:21:10.640
 But she

00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:11.400
 remembered it,

00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:12.279
 and she

00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:12.880
 remembered the

00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:14.620
 effects of

00:21:14.620 --> 00:21:16.140
 the man of

00:21:16.140 --> 00:21:16.539
 God,

00:21:17.120 --> 00:21:17.620
 and the

00:21:17.620 --> 00:21:18.160
 power of

00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:18.500
 God,

00:21:18.940 --> 00:21:19.580
 and what

00:21:19.580 --> 00:21:20.420
 God could

00:21:20.420 --> 00:21:20.840
 do.

00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:24.259
 she remembered

00:21:24.259 --> 00:21:24.899
 it in her

00:21:24.899 --> 00:21:25.599
 own affliction,

00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:26.220
 no doubt,

00:21:27.220 --> 00:21:27.859
 and she

00:21:27.859 --> 00:21:28.720
 had confidence

00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:29.619
 to say

00:21:29.619 --> 00:21:30.659
 that in the

00:21:30.659 --> 00:21:31.480
 afflictions of

00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:31.859
 Naaman,

00:21:32.539 --> 00:21:32.899
 and the

00:21:32.899 --> 00:21:33.639
 saving of

00:21:33.639 --> 00:21:34.339
 him from

00:21:34.339 --> 00:21:34.959
 his own

00:21:34.959 --> 00:21:35.639
 leprosy,

00:21:36.459 --> 00:21:38.099
 the confidence

00:21:38.099 --> 00:21:39.039
 of a child

00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:39.599
 who knows

00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:40.259
 the truth,

00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:41.279
 who has

00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:41.859
 been taught

00:21:41.859 --> 00:21:42.559
 the truth,

00:21:43.859 --> 00:21:44.299
 and has

00:21:44.299 --> 00:21:46.720
 that childlike

00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:47.680
 faith not

00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:48.220
 to doubt

00:21:48.220 --> 00:21:48.480
 it.

00:21:51.120 --> 00:21:51.759
 It's a

00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:52.319
 situation

00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:52.620
 where you

00:21:52.620 --> 00:21:53.319
 think a

00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:53.779
 man or

00:21:53.779 --> 00:21:54.120
 woman,

00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:55.539
 had they

00:21:55.539 --> 00:21:56.059
 said such

00:21:56.059 --> 00:21:56.500
 a word,

00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:57.559
 would have

00:21:57.559 --> 00:21:58.600
 doubted that

00:21:58.600 --> 00:21:59.480
 well, if he

00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:00.160
 went, will

00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:00.440
 he come

00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:01.079
 back healed?

00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:03.700
 They would

00:22:03.700 --> 00:22:04.259
 have to face

00:22:04.259 --> 00:22:04.920
 the retribution

00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:06.220
 of a

00:22:06.220 --> 00:22:06.579
 returning

00:22:06.579 --> 00:22:07.360
 commander if

00:22:07.360 --> 00:22:08.079
 he came

00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:09.180
 back unhealed,

00:22:10.120 --> 00:22:10.480
 and what

00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:10.860
 would that

00:22:10.860 --> 00:22:11.259
 mean for

00:22:11.259 --> 00:22:11.500
 them?

00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:12.259
 But the

00:22:12.259 --> 00:22:12.779
 child,

00:22:13.460 --> 00:22:14.400
 just out

00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:15.120
 of faith

00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:15.439
 and

00:22:15.439 --> 00:22:16.199
 confidence,

00:22:17.099 --> 00:22:17.799
 plainly

00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:18.239
 stated,

00:22:19.299 --> 00:22:20.539
 that Naaman

00:22:20.539 --> 00:22:21.119
 can be

00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:22.639
 healed if

00:22:22.639 --> 00:22:23.000
 he goes

00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:23.299
 to the

00:22:23.299 --> 00:22:23.899
 prophet who

00:22:23.899 --> 00:22:24.559
 is Samaria,

00:22:25.199 --> 00:22:25.519
 he would

00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:26.039
 cure him

00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:26.319
 of his

00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:26.879
 leprosy.

00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:28.919
 She had

00:22:28.919 --> 00:22:29.639
 confidence

00:22:29.639 --> 00:22:31.239
 in the

00:22:31.239 --> 00:22:31.659
 man of

00:22:31.659 --> 00:22:32.019
 God,

00:22:33.459 --> 00:22:34.159
 and she

00:22:34.159 --> 00:22:34.839
 sets forth

00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:35.279
 a hope

00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:35.819
 to Naaman

00:22:35.819 --> 00:22:36.679
 that otherwise

00:22:36.679 --> 00:22:37.239
 he did

00:22:37.239 --> 00:22:37.959
 not have,

00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:39.759
 a hope

00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:40.000
 that he

00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:40.359
 could not

00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:40.919
 find in

00:22:40.919 --> 00:22:41.219
 anywhere

00:22:41.219 --> 00:22:41.699
 else,

00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:43.439
 and the

00:22:43.439 --> 00:22:44.179
 influence

00:22:44.180 --> 00:22:45.400
 again

00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:46.380
 of the

00:22:46.380 --> 00:22:46.740
 innocent

00:22:46.740 --> 00:22:47.680
 child's

00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:48.120
 voice.

00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:49.440
 It's

00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:49.940
 remarkable.

00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:52.940
 And of

00:22:52.940 --> 00:22:53.340
 course she

00:22:53.340 --> 00:22:54.019
 returned

00:22:54.019 --> 00:22:55.080
 cleansed,

00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:55.480
 so we

00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:55.799
 know the

00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:56.200
 story.

00:22:58.220 --> 00:22:58.840
 And I

00:22:58.840 --> 00:22:59.299
 wonder what

00:22:59.299 --> 00:22:59.799
 joy it

00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:00.620
 brought to

00:23:00.620 --> 00:23:01.600
 the family

00:23:01.600 --> 00:23:02.120
 of Naaman,

00:23:02.220 --> 00:23:02.680
 the household

00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:03.259
 of Naaman,

00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:04.740
 I wonder

00:23:04.740 --> 00:23:05.480
 what joy it

00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:05.840
 brought to

00:23:05.840 --> 00:23:06.320
 the girl,

00:23:08.660 --> 00:23:09.039
 in knowing

00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:09.640
 that God

00:23:09.640 --> 00:23:10.039
 did not

00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:10.660
 fail her,

00:23:12.660 --> 00:23:13.060
 in knowing

00:23:13.059 --> 00:23:13.559
 that she

00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:14.319
 was assured

00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:16.559
 of God's

00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:17.019
 power,

00:23:18.500 --> 00:23:19.220
 that she

00:23:19.220 --> 00:23:19.799
 would have

00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:21.740
 been confident

00:23:21.740 --> 00:23:22.519
 again to

00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:23.240
 speak and

00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:23.879
 trust in

00:23:23.879 --> 00:23:24.460
 that God

00:23:24.460 --> 00:23:25.500
 of whom

00:23:25.500 --> 00:23:25.859
 she had

00:23:25.859 --> 00:23:26.500
 been taught.

00:23:28.119 --> 00:23:29.279
 The children

00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:30.679
 who are set

00:23:30.679 --> 00:23:31.440
 aside as the

00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:31.819
 Lord's

00:23:31.819 --> 00:23:32.259
 children,

00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:34.960
 these two

00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:37.359
 voiced hope,

00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:39.379
 and they

00:23:39.379 --> 00:23:40.859
 brought joy.

00:23:41.879 --> 00:23:42.219
 And we

00:23:42.219 --> 00:23:42.859
 pray that

00:23:42.859 --> 00:23:44.059
 the children

00:23:44.059 --> 00:23:44.559
 whom we

00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:45.099
 teach,

00:23:46.419 --> 00:23:46.899
 whom we

00:23:46.899 --> 00:23:47.319
 meet,

00:23:47.379 --> 00:23:47.619
 whom we

00:23:47.619 --> 00:23:48.019
 know in

00:23:48.019 --> 00:23:48.719
 our families,

00:23:48.979 --> 00:23:49.279
 would do

00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:49.899
 likewise,

00:23:50.579 --> 00:23:51.379
 that they

00:23:51.379 --> 00:23:51.759
 would bring

00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:52.740
 hope into

00:23:52.740 --> 00:23:53.439
 this world,

00:23:54.299 --> 00:23:54.500
 that they

00:23:54.500 --> 00:23:54.859
 would bring

00:23:54.859 --> 00:23:55.399
 hope to

00:23:55.399 --> 00:23:56.079
 the souls

00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:57.079
 of men

00:23:57.079 --> 00:23:57.479
 and women

00:23:57.479 --> 00:23:57.839
 who are

00:23:57.839 --> 00:23:58.259
 suffering,

00:23:58.259 --> 00:24:00.119
 and they

00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:00.379
 would,

00:24:00.539 --> 00:24:00.819
 in their

00:24:00.819 --> 00:24:01.500
 childlike

00:24:01.500 --> 00:24:02.359
 faith and

00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:03.059
 confidence,

00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:04.940
 speak of

00:24:04.940 --> 00:24:05.319
 the healing

00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:06.000
 of sin

00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:07.779
 that we

00:24:07.779 --> 00:24:08.379
 can each

00:24:08.379 --> 00:24:08.819
 know,

00:24:09.339 --> 00:24:09.680
 and the

00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:10.180
 peace of

00:24:10.180 --> 00:24:10.759
 heart,

00:24:11.299 --> 00:24:11.619
 and the

00:24:11.619 --> 00:24:12.299
 freedom from

00:24:12.299 --> 00:24:12.839
 the world's

00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:13.519
 oppressions,

00:24:14.180 --> 00:24:14.500
 and the

00:24:14.500 --> 00:24:14.920
 eternal

00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:16.119
 security that

00:24:16.119 --> 00:24:16.420
 we can

00:24:16.420 --> 00:24:16.839
 have,

00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:18.299
 trusting

00:24:18.299 --> 00:24:19.960
 in God.

00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:23.480
 There is a

00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:23.859
 man,

00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:25.119
 there is

00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:25.660
 Christ,

00:24:26.700 --> 00:24:27.500
 he died for

00:24:27.500 --> 00:24:28.259
 your sins,

00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:30.440
 he is one

00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:30.759
 that will

00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:31.440
 restore your

00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:31.880
 life,

00:24:32.019 --> 00:24:32.619
 and restore

00:24:32.619 --> 00:24:33.279
 and give

00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:33.599
 you the

00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:34.460
 greatest love

00:24:34.460 --> 00:24:35.579
 that you

00:24:35.579 --> 00:24:35.920
 will ever

00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:36.279
 know.

00:24:37.900 --> 00:24:38.599
 In the

00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:39.240
 providence of

00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:39.660
 God,

00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:40.920
 these children

00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:41.480
 are set

00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:41.880
 in their

00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:43.660
 midst,

00:24:46.140 --> 00:24:46.819
 maybe they're

00:24:46.819 --> 00:24:47.019
 in an

00:24:47.019 --> 00:24:47.700
 experience in

00:24:47.700 --> 00:24:48.539
 situations that

00:24:48.539 --> 00:24:49.059
 are not

00:24:49.059 --> 00:24:49.720
 favourable,

00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:51.200
 we don't

00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:51.500
 know,

00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:53.920
 yet we

00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:55.140
 pray that

00:24:55.140 --> 00:24:55.559
 they will be

00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:56.559
 ones who

00:24:56.559 --> 00:24:57.099
 will trust

00:24:57.099 --> 00:24:57.699
 in God,

00:24:59.439 --> 00:24:59.779
 and to

00:24:59.779 --> 00:25:00.559
 understand

00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:01.480
 what we

00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:02.059
 teach them,

00:25:03.339 --> 00:25:03.980
 and understand

00:25:03.980 --> 00:25:04.819
 what Christ

00:25:04.819 --> 00:25:05.279
 has done

00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:05.699
 for them,

00:25:06.899 --> 00:25:07.240
 and that

00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:07.619
 they will be

00:25:07.619 --> 00:25:08.859
 prepared in

00:25:08.859 --> 00:25:09.240
 their young

00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:09.679
 lives,

00:25:09.740 --> 00:25:10.019
 we don't

00:25:10.019 --> 00:25:10.459
 know where

00:25:10.459 --> 00:25:10.899
 God will

00:25:10.899 --> 00:25:11.379
 lead them,

00:25:12.579 --> 00:25:12.879
 but the

00:25:12.879 --> 00:25:13.519
 providence of

00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:13.939
 God will

00:25:13.939 --> 00:25:14.439
 take them

00:25:14.439 --> 00:25:15.439
 to the

00:25:15.439 --> 00:25:15.939
 people that

00:25:15.939 --> 00:25:16.240
 they would

00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:16.579
 meet,

00:25:18.059 --> 00:25:18.379
 but we

00:25:18.379 --> 00:25:18.819
 pray that

00:25:18.819 --> 00:25:19.059
 they will

00:25:19.059 --> 00:25:20.179
 not forget

00:25:20.179 --> 00:25:20.839
 what they

00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:21.500
 were taught,

00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:22.839
 and they

00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:23.519
 would remember

00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:24.219
 in their

00:25:24.219 --> 00:25:25.079
 afflictions,

00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:25.519
 and in

00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:25.759
 other

00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:26.659
 afflictions,

00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:27.720
 that they

00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:28.220
 too would

00:25:28.220 --> 00:25:28.379
 have

00:25:28.379 --> 00:25:28.899
 confidence

00:25:28.899 --> 00:25:29.699
 to turn

00:25:29.699 --> 00:25:30.679
 and direct

00:25:30.679 --> 00:25:31.259
 others to

00:25:31.259 --> 00:25:31.559
 the man

00:25:31.559 --> 00:25:32.099
 of God,

00:25:33.099 --> 00:25:35.379
 with great

00:25:35.379 --> 00:25:35.980
 trust and

00:25:35.980 --> 00:25:36.480
 faith,

00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:39.159
 that they

00:25:39.159 --> 00:25:39.899
 would likewise

00:25:39.899 --> 00:25:40.319
 know the

00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:42.419
 joy of

00:25:42.419 --> 00:25:42.819
 one's

00:25:42.819 --> 00:25:43.339
 returning,

00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:45.419
 who knew

00:25:45.419 --> 00:25:47.079
 the cleansing

00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:47.579
 of their

00:25:47.579 --> 00:25:47.879
 sin,

00:25:48.679 --> 00:25:49.139
 who knew

00:25:49.139 --> 00:25:49.779
 a restored

00:25:49.779 --> 00:25:50.319
 joy,

00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:52.839
 that they

00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:53.200
 would set

00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:53.799
 their hearts

00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:54.379
 on God's

00:25:54.379 --> 00:25:54.740
 word,

00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:56.519
 and trust

00:25:56.519 --> 00:25:56.919
 in it,

00:25:58.879 --> 00:25:59.220
 we would

00:25:59.220 --> 00:25:59.859
 be witnesses

00:25:59.859 --> 00:26:00.980
 of the

00:26:00.980 --> 00:26:01.639
 goodness of

00:26:01.639 --> 00:26:02.200
 God in

00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:02.879
 all things,

00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:04.839
 and we

00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:05.500
 likewise

00:26:05.500 --> 00:26:05.919
 would know

00:26:05.919 --> 00:26:07.480
 joy in

00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:08.039
 seeing them

00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:08.319
 grow,

00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:12.679
 the importance

00:26:12.679 --> 00:26:14.200
 of teaching

00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:14.799
 our children,

00:26:16.019 --> 00:26:16.599
 the influence

00:26:16.599 --> 00:26:16.980
 that they

00:26:16.980 --> 00:26:17.599
 can have

00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:18.319
 in our

00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:19.460
 lives,

00:26:19.460 --> 00:26:19.740
 and in

00:26:19.740 --> 00:26:20.120
 the lives

00:26:20.120 --> 00:26:20.680
 of others,

00:26:20.940 --> 00:26:21.279
 they can

00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:22.279
 go into

00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:23.200
 places where

00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:23.740
 we cannot

00:26:23.740 --> 00:26:24.180
 go,

00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:25.319
 and they

00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:25.720
 can speak

00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:26.200
 to people

00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:26.600
 that we

00:26:26.600 --> 00:26:27.539
 cannot speak

00:26:27.539 --> 00:26:27.799
 to,

00:26:28.840 --> 00:26:29.620
 so we

00:26:29.620 --> 00:26:30.740
 must be

00:26:30.740 --> 00:26:31.279
 mindful to

00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:31.779
 be praying

00:26:31.779 --> 00:26:32.299
 for them,

00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:33.860
 that they

00:26:33.860 --> 00:26:34.460
 would bring

00:26:34.460 --> 00:26:36.299
 the gospel

00:26:36.299 --> 00:26:37.000
 to others,

00:26:38.460 --> 00:26:38.940
 and that they

00:26:38.940 --> 00:26:39.700
 would likewise

00:26:39.700 --> 00:26:41.279
 share in the

00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:42.579
 joys of

00:26:42.579 --> 00:26:43.539
 knowing God

00:26:43.539 --> 00:26:44.240
 and trusting

00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:44.720
 in him.

00:26:46.079 --> 00:26:46.799
 May these

00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:47.279
 thoughts be

00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:47.779
 blessed to

00:26:47.779 --> 00:26:48.079
 us.

00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:49.679
 we'll

00:26:49.679 --> 00:26:50.199
 conclude

00:26:50.199 --> 00:26:50.480
 our

00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:50.799
 wash.
