00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.060
 Yeah, amen. Please join me in your copy of God's Word in John chapter 6.

00:00:05.059 --> 00:00:35.039
 Amen.

00:00:35.060 --> 00:00:35.900
 Verse 17.

00:00:36.940 --> 00:00:44.660
 Note that it begins with a crossing of the sea and it ends with the crossing of the sea.

00:00:44.800 --> 00:00:45.500
 What's that called?

00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:50.100
 Chiasm. Thank you for asking.

00:00:51.740 --> 00:00:59.780
 This sea, the Sea of Galilee, the region in which it is located, or the Sea of Tiberias, a city on its southwestern shore,

00:00:59.780 --> 00:01:06.960
 is a long way from Jerusalem where we found Jesus teaching in chapter 5.

00:01:07.820 --> 00:01:15.159
 The after this of verse 1, therefore, could read at some point after this.

00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:19.239
 So it's chronological, but it's not immediately chronological.

00:01:19.420 --> 00:01:22.420
 A journey has happened between these places.

00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:28.679
 I bring this to your attention to highlight that John, under the Spirit of Christ's inspiration,

00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:38.280
 is doing something clever, as I have said and will continue to say with the literary structure of this gospel account.

00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:40.960
 It is chiastic in nature.

00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:46.759
 You are likely familiar with the story before us today.

00:01:47.339 --> 00:01:50.379
 It has made the pages of every children's storybook Bible,

00:01:50.639 --> 00:01:55.500
 and it runs in the ethos of our cultural understanding of Jesus.

00:01:55.500 --> 00:02:02.140
 If you ask somebody who knows the name of Jesus, and you ask them a miracle he has performed,

00:02:02.459 --> 00:02:06.120
 they would likely point you to one such as this.

00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:12.379
 But there is so much more happening here that we may have read right past,

00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:17.420
 and I'm really eager to set aside the varied troubles of this week,

00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:22.680
 as it has been a troubled week, for just a few moments with you,

00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:30.200
 and see what John means to show us of Jesus Christ in these 17 and a half verses.

00:02:30.760 --> 00:02:36.599
 It's good for the church to be together this morning and to fix our gaze on Jesus.

00:02:37.460 --> 00:02:41.240
 So before I read it, let me pray for our following time together.

00:02:42.300 --> 00:02:49.420
 Father God, we would ask this morning that you would help us as we take up this text together.

00:02:49.419 --> 00:02:55.280
 We recognize humbly that it was inspired by you.

00:02:55.419 --> 00:02:58.119
 It's breathed out by you.

00:02:58.239 --> 00:03:01.399
 And so it's inerrant, and it's authoritative,

00:03:01.399 --> 00:03:06.539
 and we should want to listen to it and rightly understand it.

00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:08.939
 We know that we need your help to do this.

00:03:09.239 --> 00:03:12.519
 Help us believe its promises and obey its commands

00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:16.020
 and have affection for you, its author.

00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:19.439
 We pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:22.860
 John 6, beginning in verse 1.

00:03:24.180 --> 00:03:28.820
 After this, Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee,

00:03:28.939 --> 00:03:31.060
 which is the Sea of Tiberias.

00:03:31.480 --> 00:03:33.480
 And a large crowd was following him

00:03:33.480 --> 00:03:36.800
 because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick.

00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:41.560
 Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples.

00:03:42.580 --> 00:03:45.740
 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.

00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:50.219
 Lifting up his eyes then and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him,

00:03:50.340 --> 00:03:51.700
 Jesus said to Philip,

00:03:52.260 --> 00:03:55.880
 Where are we to buy bread so that these people may eat?

00:03:56.580 --> 00:04:00.480
 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

00:04:01.500 --> 00:04:02.460
 Philip answered him,

00:04:02.460 --> 00:04:07.140
 Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get a little.

00:04:08.140 --> 00:04:12.340
 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,

00:04:13.020 --> 00:04:16.280
 There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish,

00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:18.740
 but what are they for so many?

00:04:19.840 --> 00:04:20.600
 Jesus said,

00:04:21.280 --> 00:04:23.220
 Have the people sit down.

00:04:23.960 --> 00:04:26.160
 Now there was much grass in the place.

00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.000
 So the men sat down, about five thousand in number.

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.500
 Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks,

00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:35.420
 he distributed them to those who were seated,

00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:38.899
 so also the fish, as much as they wanted.

00:04:39.899 --> 00:04:41.920
 And when they had eaten their fill, he told the disciples,

00:04:42.139 --> 00:04:45.399
 Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost.

00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.519
 So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments

00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:52.660
 from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten.

00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.399
 When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said,

00:04:56.399 --> 00:05:00.599
 This is indeed the prophet who has come into the world.

00:05:01.819 --> 00:05:05.879
 Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king,

00:05:06.359 --> 00:05:09.199
 Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

00:05:10.099 --> 00:05:13.339
 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

00:05:13.859 --> 00:05:17.699
 got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum.

00:05:17.699 --> 00:05:24.060
 Now John sets the stage for the totality of chapter 6

00:05:24.060 --> 00:05:33.339
 with a sign or a miracle that is made necessary because of other signs.

00:05:33.899 --> 00:05:35.019
 Notice verse 2,

00:05:35.159 --> 00:05:38.519
 A large crowd is following him.

00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:39.060
 Why?

00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:41.879
 Why is it that this large crowd has followed him?

00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:47.279
 to a rather desolate place on the eastern coast of the sea.

00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:52.560
 It's because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick.

00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:54.699
 He's performing many miracles,

00:05:55.379 --> 00:05:59.939
 relieving the temporary trouble of the world that he was in.

00:06:00.899 --> 00:06:04.480
 Signs anywhere that they are observed in gospel accounts

00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:09.540
 are always meant to point us not toward the sign itself,

00:06:09.939 --> 00:06:12.020
 but toward the Savior.

00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:14.879
 The one performing the sign.

00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.879
 They're affirming actions that Jesus is doing.

00:06:18.860 --> 00:06:19.860
 People miss this.

00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:22.100
 Again and again in the scripture,

00:06:22.300 --> 00:06:25.960
 people concern themselves with the signs.

00:06:26.740 --> 00:06:29.660
 Look at what this man can do for us,

00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:30.720
 they say.

00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:35.480
 And they fail to look at who this man is.

00:06:35.940 --> 00:06:36.820
 Hear him.

00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:40.320
 Understand who he is.

00:06:41.380 --> 00:06:43.400
 Signs point to the Savior.

00:06:44.400 --> 00:06:46.760
 And that's what I want to help us do this morning.

00:06:47.380 --> 00:06:48.900
 Don't focus on the miracle.

00:06:49.280 --> 00:06:50.100
 It is miraculous.

00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.900
 Focus on the miracle worker.

00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:57.800
 And so we'll do that with a three-point outline.

00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:02.439
 The first point will be Jesus, the bread of life.

00:07:03.180 --> 00:07:06.819
 The second, Jesus, the new and better Moses.

00:07:07.780 --> 00:07:12.680
 And the third, Jesus, the now and forever king.

00:07:13.620 --> 00:07:16.699
 First, Jesus, the bread of life.

00:07:16.819 --> 00:07:18.780
 We see this across the text.

00:07:18.860 --> 00:07:21.240
 This is the primary thing happening here

00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:23.840
 in the setting up of chapter 6.

00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:27.619
 So verses 3 through 9 and then 11 through 13.

00:07:28.619 --> 00:07:31.719
 Jesus is merciful.

00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:37.419
 He is concerned with the temporal suffering of people.

00:07:38.479 --> 00:07:40.919
 He does not neglect in this text

00:07:40.919 --> 00:07:42.939
 or in our day today

00:07:42.939 --> 00:07:48.219
 that we are embodied souls who live in a cursed world.

00:07:48.220 --> 00:07:53.060
 He cares more deeply than we can comprehend

00:07:53.060 --> 00:07:55.280
 about our present condition.

00:07:55.860 --> 00:07:58.380
 Whatever it is that you may suffer,

00:07:58.660 --> 00:08:02.100
 Jesus knows more than even you do

00:08:02.100 --> 00:08:04.700
 how hard that is.

00:08:05.500 --> 00:08:08.460
 He knows the tragedy of our suffering keenly.

00:08:09.580 --> 00:08:12.200
 Notice in our text that he is performing miracles

00:08:12.200 --> 00:08:14.480
 on the sick in verse 2.

00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:16.600
 And then the miracle on display

00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.740
 serves this crowd's temporal need for food.

00:08:20.840 --> 00:08:22.939
 They followed him out to a desolate place

00:08:22.939 --> 00:08:25.500
 and they don't have a way to eat.

00:08:26.500 --> 00:08:29.620
 He cares about the body.

00:08:30.700 --> 00:08:32.180
 But, but,

00:08:32.940 --> 00:08:36.940
 he cares ultimately about the soul.

00:08:37.460 --> 00:08:39.600
 He serves temporal needs

00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:41.500
 so that people

00:08:41.500 --> 00:08:42.860
 will come to him

00:08:42.860 --> 00:08:45.080
 to have their spiritual needs

00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:46.399
 met.

00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:48.759
 So Jesus in verse 3

00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:49.639
 goes up on

00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:50.800
 the mountain

00:08:50.800 --> 00:08:52.540
 and you could read this differently

00:08:52.540 --> 00:08:53.680
 because my mind went,

00:08:54.019 --> 00:08:55.399
 what mountain are we talking about?

00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:57.040
 Some significant things happen on

00:08:57.040 --> 00:08:58.060
 mountains.

00:08:58.800 --> 00:08:59.620
 But more,

00:08:59.700 --> 00:09:01.120
 more readily you could read

00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:02.279
 the mountains

00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:03.660
 to a region

00:09:03.660 --> 00:09:05.060
 out there that's east

00:09:05.060 --> 00:09:06.700
 of that sea.

00:09:06.860 --> 00:09:08.120
 So up to the mountains.

00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:09.440
 Not a particular spot,

00:09:09.580 --> 00:09:10.700
 but a region.

00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:12.060
 A place where

00:09:12.060 --> 00:09:13.259
 he could go off

00:09:13.259 --> 00:09:14.039
 with the

00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:15.419
 disciples.

00:09:16.659 --> 00:09:17.379
 And the Passover

00:09:17.379 --> 00:09:18.560
 is at hand.

00:09:18.659 --> 00:09:19.740
 A time when the

00:09:19.740 --> 00:09:21.039
 Jews took time

00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:21.720
 to consider

00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:23.200
 the mercy of

00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:24.019
 God

00:09:24.019 --> 00:09:24.899
 to them.

00:09:25.139 --> 00:09:26.139
 And we find them

00:09:26.139 --> 00:09:26.600
 coming

00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:27.519
 to Jesus

00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:28.740
 because of these miracles

00:09:28.740 --> 00:09:29.500
 that are being

00:09:29.500 --> 00:09:30.940
 performed.

00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:32.539
 And he says

00:09:32.539 --> 00:09:33.180
 to Philip,

00:09:33.299 --> 00:09:34.180
 as a test

00:09:34.180 --> 00:09:34.799
 to Philip,

00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:36.539
 where are we to buy bread

00:09:36.539 --> 00:09:37.159
 so these people

00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:38.679
 may eat.

00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:40.259
 But he already knew

00:09:40.259 --> 00:09:41.199
 what he was going

00:09:41.199 --> 00:09:42.139
 to do.

00:09:42.219 --> 00:09:43.559
 This phrase is significant.

00:09:43.699 --> 00:09:44.799
 He himself knew

00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:46.079
 what he

00:09:46.079 --> 00:09:47.559
 would do.

00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:48.079
 The whole

00:09:48.079 --> 00:09:49.939
 stage is being set up

00:09:49.939 --> 00:09:50.860
 for all that Jesus

00:09:50.860 --> 00:09:51.779
 is going to teach

00:09:51.779 --> 00:09:53.259
 in chapter

00:09:53.259 --> 00:09:54.579
 6.

00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:56.899
 Philip answers him,

00:09:57.059 --> 00:09:58.139
 200 denarii,

00:09:58.719 --> 00:10:00.059
 200 days

00:10:00.059 --> 00:10:00.980
 wages

00:10:00.980 --> 00:10:02.039
 worth of bread

00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:03.339
 would barely be enough

00:10:03.339 --> 00:10:04.199
 for these people

00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:05.560
 to eat.

00:10:06.140 --> 00:10:06.460
 And then

00:10:06.460 --> 00:10:07.980
 Andrew offers

00:10:07.980 --> 00:10:08.860
 that there's a young

00:10:08.860 --> 00:10:09.379
 boy with

00:10:09.379 --> 00:10:10.700
 five barley loaves

00:10:10.700 --> 00:10:11.980
 and two

00:10:11.980 --> 00:10:12.700
 fish.

00:10:13.020 --> 00:10:13.660
 How could that

00:10:13.660 --> 00:10:14.620
 possibly feed

00:10:14.620 --> 00:10:16.480
 this crowd?

00:10:17.400 --> 00:10:18.180
 Now I want to be

00:10:18.180 --> 00:10:18.460
 clear,

00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:19.340
 the point of this text

00:10:19.340 --> 00:10:20.060
 is to not be like

00:10:20.060 --> 00:10:20.780
 this boy and offer

00:10:20.780 --> 00:10:21.660
 what you have to Jesus.

00:10:21.800 --> 00:10:22.140
 Although,

00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:23.500
 you might want to

00:10:23.500 --> 00:10:24.520
 derive some lesson

00:10:24.520 --> 00:10:26.060
 from this little boy

00:10:26.060 --> 00:10:26.900
 willing to give up

00:10:26.900 --> 00:10:27.960
 his lunch.

00:10:28.040 --> 00:10:28.680
 But it is not

00:10:28.680 --> 00:10:29.620
 the focus of this

00:10:29.620 --> 00:10:29.980
 narrative

00:10:29.980 --> 00:10:31.420
 at all.

00:10:31.419 --> 00:10:33.699
 There is a

00:10:33.699 --> 00:10:35.179
 legitimate need

00:10:35.179 --> 00:10:35.879
 for food

00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:37.120
 for these people.

00:10:37.699 --> 00:10:38.639
 Jesus is not

00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:39.759
 unsympathetic

00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:40.659
 toward that

00:10:40.659 --> 00:10:41.879
 need.

00:10:42.459 --> 00:10:42.860
 However,

00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:43.579
 we will just

00:10:43.579 --> 00:10:44.939
 miss the point

00:10:44.939 --> 00:10:45.620
 if we reduce

00:10:45.620 --> 00:10:46.240
 this text

00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:46.759
 to him

00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:47.639
 meeting

00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:48.459
 this

00:10:48.459 --> 00:10:49.500
 need.

00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:51.559
 This text

00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:51.919
 does not

00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:52.740
 call us

00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:54.039
 to a particular

00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:56.019
 social agenda.

00:10:56.500 --> 00:10:57.139
 This text

00:10:57.139 --> 00:10:58.179
 is not about

00:10:58.179 --> 00:10:59.339
 feeding the poor.

00:10:59.439 --> 00:10:59.759
 We can go

00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:00.460
 other places

00:11:00.460 --> 00:11:01.080
 to find

00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:01.500
 teaching

00:11:01.500 --> 00:11:03.019
 about that.

00:11:03.319 --> 00:11:03.980
 We should

00:11:03.980 --> 00:11:04.679
 not reduce

00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:05.200
 it to

00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:05.899
 just

00:11:05.899 --> 00:11:07.220
 that.

00:11:08.139 --> 00:11:08.580
 He does

00:11:08.580 --> 00:11:09.120
 meet the need.

00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:10.120
 And he meets

00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:10.539
 the need

00:11:10.539 --> 00:11:12.200
 miraculously.

00:11:12.659 --> 00:11:13.379
 And he meets

00:11:13.379 --> 00:11:14.039
 the need

00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:15.360
 abundantly

00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:17.279
 to be sure.

00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:18.819
 Verse 11,

00:11:18.980 --> 00:11:19.580
 we see that he

00:11:19.580 --> 00:11:20.600
 takes these

00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:21.259
 loaves

00:11:21.259 --> 00:11:22.639
 and he gives

00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:23.279
 thanks

00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:24.779
 and he distributes

00:11:24.779 --> 00:11:25.279
 to those

00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:25.960
 who were seated.

00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:26.899
 And notice

00:11:26.899 --> 00:11:27.539
 that the emphasis

00:11:27.539 --> 00:11:28.139
 is on the

00:11:28.139 --> 00:11:28.899
 bread.

00:11:28.899 --> 00:11:29.399
 He takes

00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:30.059
 the loaves

00:11:30.059 --> 00:11:30.919
 and he distributes

00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:31.620
 and John

00:11:31.620 --> 00:11:32.419
 adds for us

00:11:32.419 --> 00:11:33.579
 so also

00:11:33.579 --> 00:11:34.259
 the fish.

00:11:34.819 --> 00:11:35.579
 He did it

00:11:35.579 --> 00:11:36.100
 with the fish

00:11:36.100 --> 00:11:37.240
 too

00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:38.159
 and they had

00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:39.000
 as much

00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:39.799
 as they

00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:40.819
 wanted.

00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:41.539
 Everybody

00:11:41.539 --> 00:11:43.299
 was fully

00:11:43.299 --> 00:11:45.259
 satisfied.

00:11:45.419 --> 00:11:45.819
 Verse 12

00:11:45.819 --> 00:11:46.120
 says,

00:11:46.220 --> 00:11:46.439
 when they

00:11:46.439 --> 00:11:47.100
 had eaten

00:11:47.100 --> 00:11:47.840
 their

00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:48.959
 fill.

00:11:49.319 --> 00:11:49.659
 They are

00:11:49.659 --> 00:11:50.799
 no longer

00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:51.500
 hungry

00:11:51.500 --> 00:11:53.039
 anymore.

00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:54.199
 He has

00:11:54.199 --> 00:11:54.439
 them

00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:55.820
 go

00:11:55.820 --> 00:11:56.380
 and

00:11:56.380 --> 00:11:57.380
 gather

00:11:57.380 --> 00:11:57.860
 up

00:11:57.860 --> 00:11:58.420
 all

00:11:58.420 --> 00:11:58.600
 of

00:11:58.600 --> 00:11:58.740
 the

00:11:58.740 --> 00:11:59.160
 leftovers.

00:11:59.160 --> 00:11:59.820
 There's

00:11:59.820 --> 00:12:00.920
 12

00:12:00.920 --> 00:12:02.060
 baskets

00:12:02.060 --> 00:12:02.500
 with

00:12:02.500 --> 00:12:03.460
 fragments

00:12:03.460 --> 00:12:04.060
 of

00:12:04.060 --> 00:12:04.400
 the

00:12:04.400 --> 00:12:05.160
 loaves

00:12:05.160 --> 00:12:05.860
 gathered

00:12:05.860 --> 00:12:06.380
 up.

00:12:06.500 --> 00:12:06.760
 Notice,

00:12:06.920 --> 00:12:07.540
 not the fish.

00:12:08.060 --> 00:12:08.860
 The loaves

00:12:08.860 --> 00:12:09.520
 are gathered.

00:12:10.860 --> 00:12:11.600
 Many make this

00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:12.160
 passage

00:12:12.160 --> 00:12:13.500
 an apologetic

00:12:13.500 --> 00:12:14.080
 for

00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:15.740
 abundant

00:12:15.740 --> 00:12:16.860
 temporal

00:12:16.860 --> 00:12:18.120
 living.

00:12:18.940 --> 00:12:19.820
 Take passages

00:12:19.820 --> 00:12:20.600
 like this

00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:21.139
 and make

00:12:21.139 --> 00:12:21.720
 Jesus

00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:22.279
 a miracle

00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:22.680
 worker

00:12:22.680 --> 00:12:22.980
 who's

00:12:22.980 --> 00:12:23.180
 going

00:12:23.180 --> 00:12:23.420
 to

00:12:23.420 --> 00:12:23.980
 meet

00:12:23.980 --> 00:12:24.420
 all

00:12:24.420 --> 00:12:24.560
 of

00:12:24.560 --> 00:12:24.700
 your

00:12:24.700 --> 00:12:25.100
 temporal

00:12:25.100 --> 00:12:25.639
 needs

00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:26.139
 beyond

00:12:26.139 --> 00:12:26.639
 your

00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:27.540
 wildest

00:12:27.540 --> 00:12:28.379
 imagination.

00:12:29.019 --> 00:12:29.440
 The point

00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:29.940
 of the text

00:12:29.940 --> 00:12:30.180
 is that

00:12:30.180 --> 00:12:30.360
 he's

00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:30.460
 going

00:12:30.460 --> 00:12:30.560
 to

00:12:30.560 --> 00:12:31.019
 give

00:12:31.019 --> 00:12:31.420
 you

00:12:31.420 --> 00:12:32.340
 stuff

00:12:32.340 --> 00:12:32.920
 in

00:12:32.920 --> 00:12:33.899
 high

00:12:33.899 --> 00:12:34.960
 order.

00:12:36.040 --> 00:12:36.800
 This

00:12:36.800 --> 00:12:37.159
 is a

00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:37.720
 great

00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:38.080
 error.

00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:38.840
 A

00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:39.560
 massive

00:12:39.560 --> 00:12:40.080
 error.

00:12:40.500 --> 00:12:40.700
 And

00:12:40.700 --> 00:12:40.899
 there's

00:12:40.899 --> 00:12:41.800
 so much

00:12:41.800 --> 00:12:42.320
 teaching

00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:43.180
 in this

00:12:43.180 --> 00:12:44.120
 regard.

00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:44.960
 We

00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:45.240
 often

00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:45.779
 call it

00:12:45.779 --> 00:12:46.560
 the

00:12:46.560 --> 00:12:47.180
 prosperity

00:12:47.180 --> 00:12:48.200
 gospel.

00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:49.279
 And

00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:49.420
 I

00:12:49.420 --> 00:12:49.580
 think

00:12:49.580 --> 00:12:49.840
 all

00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:50.000
 of

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:50.300
 us

00:12:50.299 --> 00:12:50.919
 see

00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:51.059
 the

00:12:51.059 --> 00:12:51.419
 prosperity

00:12:51.419 --> 00:12:51.879
 gospel

00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:52.399
 in

00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:52.620
 its

00:12:52.620 --> 00:12:53.339
 greatest

00:12:53.339 --> 00:12:53.959
 forms

00:12:53.959 --> 00:12:54.299
 and

00:12:54.299 --> 00:12:54.819
 know

00:12:54.819 --> 00:12:55.199
 that

00:12:55.199 --> 00:12:55.699
 it's

00:12:55.699 --> 00:12:56.279
 error.

00:12:56.719 --> 00:12:56.939
 We

00:12:56.939 --> 00:12:57.579
 get

00:12:57.579 --> 00:12:57.839
 that

00:12:57.839 --> 00:12:58.099
 the

00:12:58.099 --> 00:12:58.819
 private

00:12:58.819 --> 00:12:59.259
 jet

00:12:59.259 --> 00:12:59.500
 is

00:12:59.500 --> 00:12:59.740
 not

00:12:59.740 --> 00:12:59.919
 the

00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:00.259
 point

00:13:00.259 --> 00:13:00.699
 of

00:13:00.699 --> 00:13:01.519
 the

00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:01.939
 gospel.

00:13:02.839 --> 00:13:03.079
 But

00:13:03.079 --> 00:13:03.179
 I

00:13:03.179 --> 00:13:03.359
 wonder

00:13:03.359 --> 00:13:03.539
 if

00:13:03.539 --> 00:13:04.279
 sometimes

00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:05.959
 we

00:13:05.959 --> 00:13:06.459
 get

00:13:06.459 --> 00:13:07.240
 confused

00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:08.059
 down

00:13:08.059 --> 00:13:08.500
 on a

00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:09.099
 lower

00:13:09.099 --> 00:13:09.699
 level.

00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:10.899
 Why

00:13:10.899 --> 00:13:11.139
 do I

00:13:11.139 --> 00:13:11.279
 not

00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:11.719
 have

00:13:11.719 --> 00:13:11.939
 the

00:13:11.939 --> 00:13:12.399
 things

00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:12.620
 that

00:13:12.620 --> 00:13:12.779
 I

00:13:12.779 --> 00:13:13.339
 perceive

00:13:13.339 --> 00:13:13.759
 I

00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:14.299
 need?

00:13:14.419 --> 00:13:14.659
 I

00:13:14.659 --> 00:13:15.079
 am

00:13:15.079 --> 00:13:15.339
 being

00:13:15.339 --> 00:13:16.159
 faithful

00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:17.159
 to

00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:17.459
 Jesus.

00:13:18.259 --> 00:13:18.479
 Why

00:13:18.479 --> 00:13:18.639
 am I

00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:18.779
 not

00:13:18.779 --> 00:13:19.039
 being

00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:19.919
 blessed

00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:20.399
 the way

00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:20.599
 I

00:13:20.599 --> 00:13:21.039
 think

00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:21.360
 I

00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:21.679
 should

00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:22.000
 be

00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:22.399
 blessed?

00:13:22.539 --> 00:13:22.860
 Haven't

00:13:22.860 --> 00:13:23.059
 I

00:13:23.059 --> 00:13:23.439
 done

00:13:23.439 --> 00:13:24.360
 such

00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:24.539
 and

00:13:24.539 --> 00:13:24.860
 such?

00:13:25.179 --> 00:13:25.339
 Don't

00:13:25.339 --> 00:13:25.559
 I

00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:26.740
 faithfully

00:13:26.740 --> 00:13:27.479
 read the

00:13:27.479 --> 00:13:27.899
 word and

00:13:27.899 --> 00:13:28.399
 pray and

00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:28.719
 go to

00:13:28.719 --> 00:13:29.199
 church and

00:13:29.199 --> 00:13:29.519
 etc.

00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:30.039
 etc.

00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:30.099
 etc.

00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:30.659
 etc.

00:13:30.659 --> 00:13:31.679
 We make

00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:32.159
 such an

00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:33.459
 error when

00:13:33.459 --> 00:13:33.699
 we make

00:13:33.699 --> 00:13:34.299
 the gospel

00:13:34.299 --> 00:13:35.719
 about the

00:13:35.719 --> 00:13:36.559
 things we

00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:37.979
 get here

00:13:37.979 --> 00:13:39.620
 and now.

00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:40.019
 Does Jesus

00:13:40.019 --> 00:13:40.839
 provide for

00:13:40.839 --> 00:13:41.299
 our temporal

00:13:41.299 --> 00:13:41.679
 needs?

00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:42.419
 He most

00:13:42.419 --> 00:13:43.240
 certainly

00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:44.399
 does.

00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:45.079
 but

00:13:45.079 --> 00:13:45.620
 we must

00:13:45.620 --> 00:13:46.980
 read on

00:13:46.980 --> 00:13:47.500
 what's

00:13:47.500 --> 00:13:47.860
 being

00:13:47.860 --> 00:13:48.340
 taught

00:13:48.340 --> 00:13:48.959
 to us

00:13:48.959 --> 00:13:49.899
 here.

00:13:50.620 --> 00:13:51.019
 John's

00:13:51.019 --> 00:13:51.459
 narrative

00:13:51.459 --> 00:13:52.379
 means

00:13:52.379 --> 00:13:52.860
 for us

00:13:52.860 --> 00:13:53.639
 to read

00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:54.319
 on

00:13:54.319 --> 00:13:54.799
 to go

00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:55.620
 beyond

00:13:55.620 --> 00:13:56.319
 this

00:13:56.319 --> 00:13:56.759
 story

00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:57.259
 and set

00:13:57.259 --> 00:13:57.519
 it in

00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:57.720
 its

00:13:57.720 --> 00:13:58.899
 context.

00:14:00.199 --> 00:14:00.720
 Beyond

00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:00.959
 this

00:14:00.959 --> 00:14:01.279
 miracle

00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:01.620
 we will

00:14:01.620 --> 00:14:01.879
 see

00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:02.439
 Jesus

00:14:02.439 --> 00:14:03.500
 walk

00:14:03.500 --> 00:14:03.699
 on

00:14:03.699 --> 00:14:04.019
 water

00:14:04.019 --> 00:14:05.159
 and

00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:05.480
 then

00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:05.860
 beginning

00:14:05.860 --> 00:14:06.100
 in

00:14:06.100 --> 00:14:06.340
 verse

00:14:06.340 --> 00:14:07.159
 26

00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:08.179
 Jesus

00:14:08.179 --> 00:14:08.720
 presents

00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:09.199
 himself

00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:09.800
 as the

00:14:09.800 --> 00:14:10.340
 bread

00:14:10.340 --> 00:14:10.940
 of

00:14:10.940 --> 00:14:11.840
 life

00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:12.759
 and

00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:12.860
 he

00:14:12.860 --> 00:14:13.300
 does

00:14:13.300 --> 00:14:13.840
 so

00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:14.700
 to the

00:14:14.700 --> 00:14:15.160
 end

00:14:15.160 --> 00:14:15.980
 of the

00:14:15.980 --> 00:14:16.460
 chapter.

00:14:16.800 --> 00:14:17.020
 That's

00:14:17.020 --> 00:14:17.600
 the major

00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:18.040
 thing

00:14:18.040 --> 00:14:18.900
 going on

00:14:18.900 --> 00:14:19.720
 in chapter

00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:20.700
 6.

00:14:21.160 --> 00:14:21.420
 Jesus

00:14:21.420 --> 00:14:21.940
 presents

00:14:21.940 --> 00:14:22.440
 himself

00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:23.640
 as the

00:14:23.640 --> 00:14:24.140
 bread

00:14:24.140 --> 00:14:25.460
 of life.

00:14:25.540 --> 00:14:25.940
 That

00:14:25.940 --> 00:14:26.520
 thing

00:14:26.520 --> 00:14:27.740
 necessary

00:14:27.740 --> 00:14:28.780
 for

00:14:28.780 --> 00:14:30.180
 sustenance.

00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:33.000
 We

00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:34.000
 have to

00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:34.259
 spend

00:14:34.259 --> 00:14:34.759
 more time

00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:35.080
 on this

00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:35.379
 than we

00:14:35.379 --> 00:14:35.640
 have

00:14:35.640 --> 00:14:35.940
 this

00:14:35.940 --> 00:14:36.320
 morning.

00:14:36.500 --> 00:14:36.620
 We're

00:14:36.620 --> 00:14:36.780
 going to

00:14:36.780 --> 00:14:37.220
 unpack

00:14:37.220 --> 00:14:38.060
 chapter 6

00:14:38.060 --> 00:14:38.460
 over

00:14:38.460 --> 00:14:39.100
 quite a

00:14:39.100 --> 00:14:39.400
 few

00:14:39.400 --> 00:14:40.720
 weeks.

00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:41.200
 All

00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:41.519
 that it

00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:41.740
 means

00:14:41.740 --> 00:14:41.920
 for

00:14:41.920 --> 00:14:42.139
 Jesus

00:14:42.139 --> 00:14:42.340
 to

00:14:42.340 --> 00:14:42.500
 be

00:14:42.500 --> 00:14:42.680
 the

00:14:42.680 --> 00:14:43.040
 bread

00:14:43.040 --> 00:14:43.500
 of

00:14:43.500 --> 00:14:44.360
 life.

00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:44.620
 But

00:14:44.620 --> 00:14:45.240
 notice

00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:45.460
 the

00:14:45.460 --> 00:14:45.700
 way

00:14:45.700 --> 00:14:45.860
 that

00:14:45.860 --> 00:14:46.019
 he

00:14:46.019 --> 00:14:46.560
 begins

00:14:46.560 --> 00:14:46.879
 that

00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:47.500
 discourse

00:14:47.500 --> 00:14:47.900
 in

00:14:47.900 --> 00:14:48.220
 verse

00:14:48.220 --> 00:14:49.480
 26.

00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:49.820
 He

00:14:49.820 --> 00:14:50.040
 says

00:14:50.040 --> 00:14:50.360
 there,

00:14:50.800 --> 00:14:50.980
 truly,

00:14:51.139 --> 00:14:51.379
 truly,

00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:52.080
 I

00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:52.379
 say

00:14:52.379 --> 00:14:52.580
 to

00:14:52.580 --> 00:14:52.980
 you,

00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:53.840
 you

00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:54.019
 are

00:14:54.019 --> 00:14:54.500
 seeking

00:14:54.500 --> 00:14:55.000
 me

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:56.220
 not

00:14:56.220 --> 00:14:56.540
 because

00:14:56.540 --> 00:14:56.740
 you

00:14:56.740 --> 00:14:57.000
 saw

00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:57.519
 signs,

00:14:57.620 --> 00:14:57.700
 but

00:14:57.700 --> 00:14:58.200
 because

00:14:58.200 --> 00:14:58.840
 you

00:14:58.840 --> 00:14:59.700
 ate

00:14:59.700 --> 00:15:00.200
 your

00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:00.900
 fill

00:15:00.900 --> 00:15:02.080
 of

00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:02.300
 the

00:15:02.300 --> 00:15:02.879
 loaves.

00:15:03.660 --> 00:15:04.160
 The

00:15:04.160 --> 00:15:04.820
 temporal

00:15:04.820 --> 00:15:05.560
 bread.

00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:06.240
 Your

00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:07.240
 tummies

00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:07.420
 were

00:15:07.420 --> 00:15:07.920
 full,

00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:08.699
 and that's

00:15:08.699 --> 00:15:09.079
 why

00:15:09.079 --> 00:15:09.500
 you're

00:15:09.500 --> 00:15:09.819
 coming

00:15:09.819 --> 00:15:10.679
 to

00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:10.959
 find

00:15:10.959 --> 00:15:11.219
 me.

00:15:11.819 --> 00:15:12.339
 You're

00:15:12.339 --> 00:15:12.559
 coming

00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:12.719
 to

00:15:12.719 --> 00:15:12.879
 me,

00:15:12.939 --> 00:15:13.299
 he says,

00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:14.000
 in essence,

00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:15.179
 because of

00:15:15.179 --> 00:15:15.679
 what I

00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:16.500
 gave you,

00:15:17.299 --> 00:15:18.159
 not because

00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:19.079
 you want

00:15:19.079 --> 00:15:20.039
 me.

00:15:21.199 --> 00:15:21.919
 I'm the

00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:22.240
 bread of

00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:22.539
 life,

00:15:22.599 --> 00:15:22.879
 he'll go

00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:23.500
 on to

00:15:23.500 --> 00:15:23.819
 say.

00:15:24.419 --> 00:15:24.639
 He'll

00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:25.139
 spend the

00:15:25.139 --> 00:15:25.719
 rest of

00:15:25.719 --> 00:15:26.299
 the chapter

00:15:26.299 --> 00:15:26.819
 making

00:15:26.819 --> 00:15:28.240
 this very

00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:29.199
 point.

00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:31.339
 Humanity's

00:15:31.339 --> 00:15:31.879
 greatest

00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:33.079
 need is

00:15:33.079 --> 00:15:33.699
 not to

00:15:33.699 --> 00:15:34.339
 have their

00:15:34.339 --> 00:15:35.559
 stomachs

00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:36.199
 satisfied,

00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:36.340
 satisfied,

00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:37.340
 but to

00:15:37.340 --> 00:15:37.600
 have

00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:37.920
 their

00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:39.180
 souls

00:15:39.180 --> 00:15:40.540
 satisfied.

00:15:41.460 --> 00:15:41.820
 It's

00:15:41.820 --> 00:15:42.240
 perhaps

00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:42.860
 one of

00:15:42.860 --> 00:15:42.960
 the

00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:43.220
 greatest

00:15:43.220 --> 00:15:43.780
 trials

00:15:43.780 --> 00:15:44.220
 to

00:15:44.220 --> 00:15:44.480
 have

00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:45.180
 no

00:15:45.180 --> 00:15:46.120
 trials

00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:47.379
 at

00:15:47.379 --> 00:15:47.660
 all.

00:15:48.340 --> 00:15:48.720
 We

00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:48.860
 are

00:15:48.860 --> 00:15:49.280
 such

00:15:49.280 --> 00:15:49.660
 a

00:15:49.660 --> 00:15:50.379
 comfortable,

00:15:50.780 --> 00:15:51.259
 comfortable

00:15:51.259 --> 00:15:51.740
 people.

00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:53.160
 I don't

00:15:53.160 --> 00:15:53.320
 want to

00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:53.840
 make light

00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:54.180
 of the

00:15:54.180 --> 00:15:54.600
 things that

00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:54.840
 trouble

00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:55.200
 you,

00:15:56.060 --> 00:15:56.460
 or the

00:15:56.460 --> 00:15:56.920
 things that

00:15:56.920 --> 00:15:57.240
 trouble

00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:58.280
 us,

00:15:58.820 --> 00:15:59.259
 but

00:15:59.259 --> 00:15:59.740
 relatively

00:15:59.740 --> 00:16:00.440
 speaking,

00:16:00.900 --> 00:16:01.580
 very few

00:16:01.580 --> 00:16:02.180
 of us

00:16:02.180 --> 00:16:03.580
 feared for

00:16:03.580 --> 00:16:04.220
 our lives

00:16:04.220 --> 00:16:04.660
 in this

00:16:04.660 --> 00:16:05.120
 past

00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:06.000
 week.

00:16:06.220 --> 00:16:06.920
 As a

00:16:06.920 --> 00:16:07.259
 simple

00:16:07.259 --> 00:16:08.500
 example,

00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:09.960
 very few

00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:10.600
 of us

00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:11.940
 really

00:16:11.940 --> 00:16:12.840
 suffer the

00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:13.560
 way so

00:16:13.560 --> 00:16:14.180
 many

00:16:14.180 --> 00:16:15.200
 suffer in

00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:16.360
 the world

00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:17.019
 today.

00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:18.360
 And so we

00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:19.180
 get a

00:16:19.180 --> 00:16:19.420
 little

00:16:19.420 --> 00:16:20.040
 uncomfortable,

00:16:20.820 --> 00:16:21.480
 and our

00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:22.160
 world seems

00:16:22.160 --> 00:16:22.500
 to be

00:16:22.500 --> 00:16:23.340
 falling apart,

00:16:24.100 --> 00:16:24.460
 and just

00:16:24.460 --> 00:16:26.440
 perhaps God

00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:26.700
 in his

00:16:26.700 --> 00:16:27.440
 great loving

00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:28.240
 kindness to

00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:28.740
 us is

00:16:28.740 --> 00:16:29.879
 reminding us

00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:30.899
 that the

00:16:30.899 --> 00:16:31.480
 point is not

00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:32.320
 to have our

00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:33.300
 comfort

00:16:33.300 --> 00:16:34.040
 satisfied,

00:16:34.660 --> 00:16:35.060
 but to

00:16:35.060 --> 00:16:35.660
 have our

00:16:35.660 --> 00:16:36.920
 souls

00:16:36.920 --> 00:16:38.420
 satisfied.

00:16:40.280 --> 00:16:40.960
 Jesus'

00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:41.400
 primary

00:16:41.400 --> 00:16:42.580
 concern is

00:16:42.580 --> 00:16:43.320
 not our

00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:43.960
 temporal

00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:44.640
 affairs,

00:16:45.220 --> 00:16:45.879
 but our

00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:46.540
 eternal

00:16:46.540 --> 00:16:47.780
 destiny.

00:16:48.920 --> 00:16:49.800
 This life,

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:50.440
 although it

00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:50.920
 doesn't always

00:16:50.920 --> 00:16:51.340
 feel this

00:16:51.340 --> 00:16:51.640
 way,

00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:52.820
 is fleeting,

00:16:53.160 --> 00:16:53.700
 passing,

00:16:54.060 --> 00:16:54.480
 like a

00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:55.879
 vapor in

00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:56.440
 the wind.

00:16:57.420 --> 00:16:58.140
 Jesus loves

00:16:58.140 --> 00:16:58.840
 us enough

00:16:58.840 --> 00:16:59.660
 to have the

00:16:59.660 --> 00:17:00.400
 rest of it

00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:01.559
 beyond in

00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:02.459
 mind,

00:17:02.579 --> 00:17:03.039
 to serve

00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:03.419
 us to

00:17:03.419 --> 00:17:04.519
 that great

00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:05.779
 end.

00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:07.700
 Let me

00:17:07.700 --> 00:17:08.019
 make this

00:17:08.019 --> 00:17:08.599
 point just a

00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:09.059
 bit further

00:17:09.059 --> 00:17:10.000
 from the

00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:10.299
 text,

00:17:10.379 --> 00:17:10.680
 although I'm

00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:10.759
 going to

00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:11.000
 have to

00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:11.319
 venture

00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:12.819
 just a

00:17:12.819 --> 00:17:14.000
 bit outside

00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:14.460
 of it.

00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:16.119
 What do

00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:16.660
 you suppose

00:17:16.660 --> 00:17:17.460
 the significance

00:17:17.460 --> 00:17:18.339
 of verse

00:17:18.339 --> 00:17:19.559
 13 is?

00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:21.639
 So those

00:17:21.639 --> 00:17:23.240
 left by

00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:24.460
 those who

00:17:24.460 --> 00:17:24.799
 had eaten.

00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:26.339
 Why does

00:17:26.339 --> 00:17:27.259
 John record

00:17:27.259 --> 00:17:28.539
 that fact

00:17:28.539 --> 00:17:29.039
 for us?

00:17:30.299 --> 00:17:30.859
 Abundant

00:17:30.859 --> 00:17:31.319
 provision,

00:17:32.059 --> 00:17:32.759
 of course.

00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:34.079
 They had

00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:34.680
 all that

00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:35.119
 they needed,

00:17:35.420 --> 00:17:36.400
 their stomachs

00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:37.460
 were full

00:17:37.460 --> 00:17:38.960
 and beyond,

00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:39.920
 but why

00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:41.279
 12

00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:42.379
 baskets?

00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:44.319
 Well,

00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:45.779
 there were

00:17:45.779 --> 00:17:46.859
 12 disciples,

00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:48.859
 12 men

00:17:48.859 --> 00:17:49.680
 who were

00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:50.160
 told to

00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:50.599
 go gather

00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:51.140
 the fragments,

00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:51.660
 so they

00:17:51.660 --> 00:17:52.420
 each

00:17:52.420 --> 00:17:53.460
 had a

00:17:53.460 --> 00:17:53.740
 basket.

00:17:54.099 --> 00:17:54.839
 They each

00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:55.500
 held in

00:17:55.500 --> 00:17:56.440
 their arms

00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:57.720
 a collection

00:17:57.720 --> 00:17:58.740
 of bread

00:17:58.740 --> 00:18:00.039
 miraculously

00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:00.819
 produced

00:18:00.819 --> 00:18:02.119
 by Christ.

00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:03.039
 So if you

00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:03.880
 can hold

00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:04.539
 that image

00:18:04.539 --> 00:18:04.940
 in your

00:18:04.940 --> 00:18:05.480
 mind,

00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:07.240
 pretend that

00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:07.700
 you were

00:18:07.700 --> 00:18:08.799
 holding a

00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:09.559
 basket

00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:10.640
 containing

00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:11.460
 within it

00:18:11.460 --> 00:18:12.640
 bread

00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:13.259
 that was

00:18:13.259 --> 00:18:13.740
 miraculously

00:18:13.740 --> 00:18:14.319
 produced

00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:15.619
 by Jesus.

00:18:16.579 --> 00:18:17.319
 And then,

00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:18.099
 hold that

00:18:18.099 --> 00:18:18.380
 image,

00:18:18.579 --> 00:18:18.799
 and then

00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:19.140
 note with

00:18:19.140 --> 00:18:19.440
 me

00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:21.099
 verses 16

00:18:21.099 --> 00:18:22.680
 through 21.

00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:24.599
 Now,

00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:25.220
 next week,

00:18:25.500 --> 00:18:26.279
 Colson's

00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:26.559
 going to

00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:26.920
 preach

00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:27.980
 next week's

00:18:27.980 --> 00:18:28.160
 sermon.

00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:30.819
 What does

00:18:30.819 --> 00:18:31.819
 this story

00:18:31.819 --> 00:18:32.819
 have to

00:18:32.819 --> 00:18:33.500
 do with

00:18:33.500 --> 00:18:34.140
 the rest

00:18:34.140 --> 00:18:35.019
 of chapter

00:18:35.019 --> 00:18:35.480
 6?

00:18:36.779 --> 00:18:37.299
 Have you

00:18:37.299 --> 00:18:37.660
 noted it

00:18:37.660 --> 00:18:37.900
 already?

00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:38.200
 Are you

00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:38.579
 scanning

00:18:38.579 --> 00:18:39.400
 across it?

00:18:39.779 --> 00:18:39.960
 Boy,

00:18:39.980 --> 00:18:40.200
 I hope you

00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:40.400
 have a

00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:40.740
 Bible with

00:18:40.740 --> 00:18:41.259
 you today.

00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:42.380
 We've got

00:18:42.380 --> 00:18:43.259
 Jesus feeding

00:18:43.259 --> 00:18:44.279
 the 5,000.

00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:45.579
 This big

00:18:45.579 --> 00:18:46.279
 emphasis on

00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:47.019
 bread is

00:18:47.019 --> 00:18:47.619
 going on,

00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:48.059
 and then

00:18:48.059 --> 00:18:48.240
 he's going

00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:48.640
 to spend

00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:49.599
 the chapter

00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:50.059
 from verse

00:18:50.059 --> 00:18:51.079
 26 on.

00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:51.480
 The rest

00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:52.000
 of the chapter

00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:52.619
 he's talking

00:18:52.619 --> 00:18:53.460
 about him

00:18:53.460 --> 00:18:53.900
 being the

00:18:53.900 --> 00:18:54.759
 bread of

00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:55.700
 life,

00:18:56.019 --> 00:18:56.700
 and dropped

00:18:56.700 --> 00:18:57.160
 in the middle

00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:57.640
 of that

00:18:57.640 --> 00:18:58.539
 is a story

00:18:58.539 --> 00:18:59.440
 about Jesus

00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:00.640
 walking

00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:02.079
 on water.

00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:04.200
 Why?

00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:06.140
 Why is it

00:19:06.140 --> 00:19:06.360
 there?

00:19:06.420 --> 00:19:06.819
 Is John

00:19:06.819 --> 00:19:07.460
 just being

00:19:07.460 --> 00:19:08.880
 chronologically

00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:09.480
 consistent?

00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:10.360
 Is that all

00:19:10.360 --> 00:19:10.759
 that's going

00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:11.279
 on here?

00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:12.460
 I say

00:19:12.460 --> 00:19:13.140
 no.

00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:14.299
 We are

00:19:14.299 --> 00:19:14.799
 meant to

00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:15.279
 derive

00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:15.759
 something

00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:16.299
 from

00:19:16.299 --> 00:19:17.480
 this.

00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:18.079
 Okay,

00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:18.519
 so again,

00:19:19.099 --> 00:19:19.460
 you've got

00:19:19.460 --> 00:19:20.319
 a basket

00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:21.000
 full of

00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:21.339
 bread

00:19:21.339 --> 00:19:22.619
 in your

00:19:22.619 --> 00:19:23.099
 arms.

00:19:24.059 --> 00:19:24.319
 Look at

00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:24.960
 verse 16.

00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:25.559
 When evening

00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:25.980
 came,

00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:26.480
 this is part

00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:26.699
 of our

00:19:26.699 --> 00:19:27.019
 text for

00:19:27.019 --> 00:19:27.199
 today,

00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:27.779
 his disciples

00:19:27.779 --> 00:19:28.220
 went down

00:19:28.220 --> 00:19:28.500
 to the

00:19:28.500 --> 00:19:28.679
 sea,

00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:29.159
 got into

00:19:29.159 --> 00:19:29.500
 a boat,

00:19:29.879 --> 00:19:30.419
 and started

00:19:30.419 --> 00:19:31.159
 across the

00:19:31.159 --> 00:19:32.000
 sea to

00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:32.439
 Capernaum.

00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:34.139
 It was

00:19:34.139 --> 00:19:34.980
 now dark,

00:19:35.139 --> 00:19:35.559
 and Jesus

00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:36.240
 had not

00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:37.379
 yet come

00:19:37.379 --> 00:19:38.279
 to them.

00:19:38.399 --> 00:19:38.799
 He's gone

00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:39.379
 away.

00:19:39.539 --> 00:19:40.220
 He's in

00:19:40.220 --> 00:19:41.319
 a desolate

00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:41.879
 place,

00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:42.419
 removing

00:19:42.419 --> 00:19:42.919
 himself.

00:19:43.899 --> 00:19:44.500
 Verse 18.

00:19:44.980 --> 00:19:45.259
 The sea

00:19:45.259 --> 00:19:46.359
 became rough

00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:46.979
 because a

00:19:46.979 --> 00:19:47.839
 strong

00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:48.619
 wind

00:19:48.619 --> 00:19:49.759
 was blowing,

00:19:49.919 --> 00:19:50.379
 so a

00:19:50.379 --> 00:19:51.139
 great storm

00:19:51.139 --> 00:19:51.740
 has arisen.

00:19:52.159 --> 00:19:52.500
 When they

00:19:52.500 --> 00:19:52.919
 had rode

00:19:52.919 --> 00:19:53.500
 about three

00:19:53.500 --> 00:19:53.899
 or four

00:19:53.899 --> 00:19:54.439
 miles,

00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:54.919
 they saw

00:19:54.919 --> 00:19:55.299
 Jesus

00:19:55.299 --> 00:19:55.919
 walking

00:19:55.919 --> 00:19:56.539
 on the

00:19:56.539 --> 00:19:56.919
 sea

00:19:56.919 --> 00:19:57.500
 and coming

00:19:57.500 --> 00:19:58.000
 near

00:19:58.000 --> 00:19:59.079
 the boat,

00:19:59.079 --> 00:19:59.939
 and they

00:19:59.939 --> 00:20:00.699
 were

00:20:00.699 --> 00:20:01.359
 frightened.

00:20:02.579 --> 00:20:02.859
 But he

00:20:02.859 --> 00:20:03.199
 said to

00:20:03.199 --> 00:20:03.619
 them,

00:20:04.679 --> 00:20:05.240
 it is

00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:05.639
 I,

00:20:06.019 --> 00:20:06.319
 or you

00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:06.699
 could read

00:20:06.699 --> 00:20:07.559
 I am,

00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:09.179
 do not

00:20:09.179 --> 00:20:09.799
 be

00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:11.439
 afraid.

00:20:12.819 --> 00:20:13.279
 Then they

00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:14.519
 were glad

00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:15.199
 to take

00:20:15.199 --> 00:20:15.819
 him into

00:20:15.819 --> 00:20:16.339
 the boat,

00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:17.559
 and immediately

00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:18.339
 the boat

00:20:18.339 --> 00:20:18.899
 was at the

00:20:18.899 --> 00:20:19.759
 land to

00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:21.000
 which they

00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:21.479
 were going.

00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:22.519
 I hope

00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:23.099
 your brain

00:20:23.099 --> 00:20:24.240
 is firing

00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:25.379
 off right

00:20:25.379 --> 00:20:25.719
 now,

00:20:26.019 --> 00:20:26.459
 just in

00:20:26.459 --> 00:20:26.779
 case.

00:20:27.699 --> 00:20:27.979
 Let me

00:20:27.979 --> 00:20:28.299
 show you

00:20:28.299 --> 00:20:28.519
 what's

00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:29.199
 going on.

00:20:29.579 --> 00:20:30.799
 In a

00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:31.000
 boat,

00:20:31.219 --> 00:20:31.539
 in the

00:20:31.539 --> 00:20:31.779
 sea,

00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:32.459
 in a

00:20:32.459 --> 00:20:32.819
 storm,

00:20:33.139 --> 00:20:33.379
 the sea

00:20:33.379 --> 00:20:33.839
 is always

00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:34.359
 a place

00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:35.099
 of danger

00:20:35.099 --> 00:20:35.979
 and judgment

00:20:35.979 --> 00:20:36.979
 all throughout

00:20:36.979 --> 00:20:37.579
 the scriptures.

00:20:37.779 --> 00:20:37.939
 And he

00:20:37.939 --> 00:20:38.639
 just walks

00:20:38.639 --> 00:20:38.959
 to them

00:20:38.959 --> 00:20:39.599
 out on

00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:40.019
 the water

00:20:40.019 --> 00:20:40.519
 and he

00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:40.719
 says,

00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:41.659
 I am,

00:20:42.059 --> 00:20:42.559
 do not

00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:43.439
 be afraid.

00:20:43.579 --> 00:20:43.819
 And then

00:20:43.819 --> 00:20:44.079
 what do

00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:44.740
 they do?

00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:45.500
 They

00:20:45.500 --> 00:20:46.119
 welcome

00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:47.380
 the bread

00:20:47.380 --> 00:20:48.559
 of life.

00:20:48.660 --> 00:20:48.920
 He's going

00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:49.220
 to go on

00:20:49.220 --> 00:20:49.559
 to talk

00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:50.039
 about that.

00:20:50.180 --> 00:20:50.799
 The bread

00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:52.180
 of life

00:20:52.180 --> 00:20:53.519
 into the

00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:53.819
 basket.

00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:54.759
 They

00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:55.059
 welcome

00:20:55.059 --> 00:20:55.500
 him

00:20:55.500 --> 00:20:56.960
 into the

00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:57.279
 boat.

00:20:57.579 --> 00:20:57.799
 And

00:20:57.799 --> 00:20:58.140
 immediately

00:20:58.140 --> 00:20:58.579
 the boat

00:20:58.579 --> 00:20:58.960
 was at the

00:20:58.960 --> 00:20:59.500
 land to

00:20:59.500 --> 00:20:59.839
 which they

00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:00.940
 were going.

00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:02.400
 The point

00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:03.500
 is that

00:21:03.500 --> 00:21:04.740
 Jesus is

00:21:04.740 --> 00:21:05.279
 the bread

00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:06.619
 of life

00:21:06.619 --> 00:21:07.519
 and his

00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:08.259
 great care

00:21:08.259 --> 00:21:08.940
 and concern

00:21:08.940 --> 00:21:09.960
 for these

00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:10.440
 disciples.

00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:10.840
 He's going

00:21:10.840 --> 00:21:11.340
 to go

00:21:11.340 --> 00:21:11.820
 on to

00:21:11.820 --> 00:21:12.340
 talk about

00:21:12.340 --> 00:21:13.059
 eating of

00:21:13.059 --> 00:21:13.559
 his flesh

00:21:13.559 --> 00:21:14.019
 and drinking

00:21:14.019 --> 00:21:14.400
 of his

00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:14.640
 blood

00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:15.039
 and people

00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:15.440
 are going

00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:16.059
 to leave

00:21:16.059 --> 00:21:16.640
 him in

00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:17.740
 the droves

00:21:17.740 --> 00:21:18.539
 and yet

00:21:18.539 --> 00:21:19.519
 the disciples

00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:21.759
 stay on.

00:21:22.259 --> 00:21:22.840
 He's teaching

00:21:22.840 --> 00:21:23.640
 them a lesson

00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:24.320
 when he gives

00:21:24.320 --> 00:21:25.200
 them baskets

00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:25.660
 and says,

00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:26.519
 go collect

00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:27.539
 the leftovers.

00:21:28.259 --> 00:21:28.620
 He wants

00:21:28.620 --> 00:21:29.180
 them to get

00:21:29.180 --> 00:21:29.900
 that he

00:21:29.900 --> 00:21:31.019
 is the one

00:21:31.019 --> 00:21:31.940
 that can

00:21:31.940 --> 00:21:32.380
 satisfy

00:21:32.380 --> 00:21:33.880
 their souls.

00:21:34.460 --> 00:21:34.860
 Deliver

00:21:34.860 --> 00:21:35.600
 them through

00:21:35.600 --> 00:21:37.140
 judgment.

00:21:38.259 --> 00:21:38.500
 So,

00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:39.120
 that's number

00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:39.359
 one.

00:21:40.099 --> 00:21:40.379
 Jesus,

00:21:40.659 --> 00:21:41.059
 the bread

00:21:41.059 --> 00:21:42.619
 of life.

00:21:43.539 --> 00:21:44.019
 Secondly,

00:21:44.639 --> 00:21:45.079
 Jesus,

00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:46.159
 the new

00:21:46.159 --> 00:21:47.419
 and better

00:21:47.419 --> 00:21:48.839
 Moses.

00:21:50.019 --> 00:21:50.739
 It is at

00:21:50.739 --> 00:21:51.299
 this point

00:21:51.299 --> 00:21:51.579
 that we

00:21:51.579 --> 00:21:52.459
 find the

00:21:52.459 --> 00:21:53.239
 center of

00:21:53.239 --> 00:21:53.939
 the chiastic

00:21:53.939 --> 00:21:54.459
 structure

00:21:54.459 --> 00:21:55.339
 of our

00:21:55.339 --> 00:21:55.679
 text.

00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:56.939
 If you

00:21:56.939 --> 00:21:57.179
 have been

00:21:57.179 --> 00:21:57.579
 with us

00:21:57.579 --> 00:21:57.839
 in our

00:21:57.839 --> 00:21:58.199
 study of

00:21:58.199 --> 00:21:58.559
 John,

00:21:58.659 --> 00:21:59.159
 I hope

00:21:59.159 --> 00:21:59.579
 you have

00:21:59.579 --> 00:22:00.139
 been wondering

00:22:00.139 --> 00:22:00.479
 where to

00:22:00.479 --> 00:22:00.859
 find it.

00:22:01.299 --> 00:22:01.739
 Show us

00:22:01.739 --> 00:22:02.039
 where it

00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:02.259
 is.

00:22:02.399 --> 00:22:02.639
 Which

00:22:02.639 --> 00:22:03.519
 verse

00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:04.339
 is it?

00:22:04.919 --> 00:22:05.219
 If you

00:22:05.219 --> 00:22:05.579
 have not

00:22:05.579 --> 00:22:05.939
 been with

00:22:05.939 --> 00:22:06.119
 us,

00:22:06.199 --> 00:22:06.639
 keep coming

00:22:06.639 --> 00:22:06.879
 and I

00:22:06.879 --> 00:22:07.099
 hope to

00:22:07.099 --> 00:22:07.379
 show you

00:22:07.379 --> 00:22:08.119
 more of

00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:08.379
 this

00:22:08.379 --> 00:22:08.939
 brilliant

00:22:08.940 --> 00:22:09.539
 literary

00:22:09.539 --> 00:22:10.039
 device,

00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:10.340
 I'll

00:22:10.340 --> 00:22:10.840
 spare you

00:22:10.840 --> 00:22:11.299
 the

00:22:11.299 --> 00:22:11.759
 explanation

00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:12.400
 this

00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:12.700
 morning.

00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:13.799
 Here it

00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:14.059
 is.

00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:14.360
 It's

00:22:14.360 --> 00:22:14.660
 verse

00:22:14.660 --> 00:22:15.660
 10.

00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:17.120
 It's

00:22:17.120 --> 00:22:17.440
 meant to

00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:17.820
 draw our

00:22:17.820 --> 00:22:18.160
 attention.

00:22:18.320 --> 00:22:18.440
 It's

00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:19.180
 meant to

00:22:19.180 --> 00:22:19.539
 help us

00:22:19.539 --> 00:22:20.140
 understand

00:22:20.140 --> 00:22:20.740
 something

00:22:20.740 --> 00:22:21.299
 about

00:22:21.299 --> 00:22:21.740
 this

00:22:21.740 --> 00:22:22.700
 particular

00:22:22.700 --> 00:22:23.660
 pericope.

00:22:23.860 --> 00:22:24.059
 Jesus

00:22:24.059 --> 00:22:24.559
 said,

00:22:25.120 --> 00:22:25.580
 have

00:22:25.580 --> 00:22:26.000
 the

00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:26.440
 people

00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:27.340
 sit

00:22:27.340 --> 00:22:28.559
 down.

00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:29.740
 And

00:22:29.740 --> 00:22:29.920
 then

00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:30.279
 John

00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:30.920
 adds,

00:22:31.120 --> 00:22:31.380
 now there

00:22:31.380 --> 00:22:31.759
 was much

00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:32.360
 grass in

00:22:32.360 --> 00:22:32.880
 the place,

00:22:33.380 --> 00:22:34.240
 so the

00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:34.960
 men sat

00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:35.320
 down,

00:22:35.380 --> 00:22:35.680
 which was a

00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:36.220
 normal way

00:22:36.220 --> 00:22:36.720
 of counting

00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:37.360
 in those

00:22:37.360 --> 00:22:37.799
 days.

00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:38.480
 Matthew

00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:38.980
 adds for

00:22:38.980 --> 00:22:39.299
 us that

00:22:39.299 --> 00:22:39.500
 there are

00:22:39.500 --> 00:22:40.119
 also women

00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:41.180
 and children,

00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:43.819
 about 5,000

00:22:43.819 --> 00:22:45.720
 in number.

00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:47.519
 The Greek

00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:48.279
 word used

00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:48.960
 here for

00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:49.919
 sit down,

00:22:49.980 --> 00:22:50.240
 he says,

00:22:50.399 --> 00:22:50.839
 have the

00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:51.799
 people sit

00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:52.299
 down,

00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:53.859
 is different

00:22:53.859 --> 00:22:54.399
 from the

00:22:54.399 --> 00:22:55.099
 one used

00:22:55.099 --> 00:22:55.779
 in verse

00:22:55.779 --> 00:22:56.139
 3.

00:22:56.259 --> 00:22:56.619
 Notice in

00:22:56.619 --> 00:22:57.000
 verse 3

00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:57.279
 that he

00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:58.099
 sits down

00:22:58.099 --> 00:22:59.440
 with the

00:22:59.440 --> 00:22:59.879
 disciples.

00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:01.440
 Here,

00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:02.139
 it's a different

00:23:02.139 --> 00:23:02.500
 word,

00:23:03.500 --> 00:23:03.919
 it would be

00:23:03.919 --> 00:23:04.980
 better translated

00:23:04.980 --> 00:23:06.480
 recline,

00:23:06.779 --> 00:23:07.920
 recline,

00:23:08.140 --> 00:23:09.019
 lie down,

00:23:09.579 --> 00:23:10.180
 which was the

00:23:10.180 --> 00:23:10.759
 manner that

00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:11.460
 meals were

00:23:11.460 --> 00:23:12.059
 taken.

00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:12.579
 In low

00:23:12.579 --> 00:23:13.079
 tables,

00:23:13.980 --> 00:23:15.000
 they reclined

00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:16.640
 at table.

00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:18.500
 It was a

00:23:18.500 --> 00:23:19.819
 restful

00:23:19.819 --> 00:23:20.940
 posture.

00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:22.160
 It's not a

00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:22.960
 ready-for-action

00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:23.720
 kind of posture,

00:23:23.819 --> 00:23:24.599
 to recline

00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:25.440
 at a

00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:26.500
 table.

00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:26.960
 They were

00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:28.500
 to lay

00:23:28.500 --> 00:23:29.620
 down

00:23:29.620 --> 00:23:30.860
 in a

00:23:30.860 --> 00:23:31.880
 field.

00:23:32.819 --> 00:23:33.059
 John

00:23:33.059 --> 00:23:33.599
 adds to

00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:35.799
 the

00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:36.199
 narrative,

00:23:36.199 --> 00:23:35.619
 there was

00:23:35.619 --> 00:23:36.099
 much

00:23:36.099 --> 00:23:36.959
 grass

00:23:36.959 --> 00:23:38.039
 in the

00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:38.480
 place.

00:23:39.379 --> 00:23:39.980
 I don't

00:23:39.980 --> 00:23:40.240
 know if

00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:40.500
 you do

00:23:40.500 --> 00:23:40.719
 this,

00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:41.059
 but I

00:23:41.059 --> 00:23:41.659
 read past

00:23:41.659 --> 00:23:42.279
 details like

00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:42.899
 this all

00:23:42.899 --> 00:23:43.439
 the time

00:23:43.439 --> 00:23:43.879
 until I'm

00:23:43.879 --> 00:23:44.279
 forced to

00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:44.639
 sit with

00:23:44.639 --> 00:23:44.980
 it and

00:23:44.980 --> 00:23:45.359
 really go,

00:23:45.539 --> 00:23:45.879
 why?

00:23:46.059 --> 00:23:46.699
 Why that

00:23:46.699 --> 00:23:47.199
 sentence?

00:23:47.659 --> 00:23:48.139
 Why is

00:23:48.139 --> 00:23:48.459
 that

00:23:48.459 --> 00:23:49.500
 inspired?

00:23:49.679 --> 00:23:50.119
 Why is

00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:50.379
 it

00:23:50.379 --> 00:23:51.579
 significant?

00:23:52.419 --> 00:23:52.740
 What is

00:23:52.740 --> 00:23:53.359
 going on

00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:53.959
 here at

00:23:53.959 --> 00:23:54.959
 the center

00:23:54.959 --> 00:23:56.759
 of the

00:23:56.759 --> 00:23:57.139
 text?

00:23:58.399 --> 00:23:58.919
 Again,

00:23:59.359 --> 00:23:59.939
 hold something

00:23:59.939 --> 00:24:00.339
 for me.

00:24:00.399 --> 00:24:00.879
 Hold that

00:24:00.879 --> 00:24:01.719
 question in

00:24:01.719 --> 00:24:02.719
 your mind.

00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:02.959
 We're going

00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:03.200
 to come

00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:03.740
 back to

00:24:03.740 --> 00:24:05.600
 it and

00:24:05.600 --> 00:24:05.900
 look at

00:24:05.900 --> 00:24:07.279
 verse 14.

00:24:08.220 --> 00:24:09.319
 Verse 10 is

00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:09.600
 the center

00:24:09.600 --> 00:24:09.799
 of the

00:24:09.799 --> 00:24:10.180
 chiasm.

00:24:10.340 --> 00:24:10.579
 Look at

00:24:10.579 --> 00:24:11.319
 verse 14.

00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:12.160
 When the

00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:12.819
 people saw

00:24:12.819 --> 00:24:13.600
 the sign

00:24:13.600 --> 00:24:14.039
 that he

00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:14.660
 had done,

00:24:14.840 --> 00:24:15.700
 this miraculous

00:24:15.700 --> 00:24:16.120
 feeding,

00:24:16.779 --> 00:24:17.440
 they said,

00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:17.900
 this is

00:24:17.900 --> 00:24:19.340
 indeed the

00:24:19.340 --> 00:24:20.240
 prophet who

00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:20.920
 has come

00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:22.519
 into the

00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:22.920
 world.

00:24:23.120 --> 00:24:23.460
 Your

00:24:23.460 --> 00:24:24.079
 translation

00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:25.380
 likely

00:24:25.380 --> 00:24:26.860
 capitalizes

00:24:26.860 --> 00:24:27.880
 prophet.

00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:28.840
 The

00:24:28.840 --> 00:24:30.079
 prophet.

00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:30.139
 prophet.

00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:31.319
 This

00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:31.899
 reference to

00:24:31.899 --> 00:24:32.319
 the prophet

00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:33.339
 is from

00:24:33.339 --> 00:24:34.240
 Deuteronomy

00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:35.399
 chapter 18

00:24:35.399 --> 00:24:36.079
 and verse

00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:36.939
 15,

00:24:37.500 --> 00:24:38.480
 where Moses

00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:39.339
 says,

00:24:40.179 --> 00:24:40.439
 the Lord

00:24:40.439 --> 00:24:40.859
 your God

00:24:40.859 --> 00:24:41.460
 will raise

00:24:41.460 --> 00:24:41.799
 up for

00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:42.339
 you a

00:24:42.339 --> 00:24:43.480
 prophet like

00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:44.439
 me from

00:24:44.439 --> 00:24:45.139
 among you

00:24:45.139 --> 00:24:46.059
 from your

00:24:46.059 --> 00:24:46.460
 brothers.

00:24:46.919 --> 00:24:47.859
 It is to

00:24:47.859 --> 00:24:49.439
 him you

00:24:49.439 --> 00:24:50.099
 shall listen.

00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:51.000
 This is

00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:52.240
 the prophet

00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:52.839
 that they're

00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:53.500
 talking about

00:24:53.500 --> 00:24:54.099
 here in

00:24:54.099 --> 00:24:55.639
 verse 14.

00:24:56.500 --> 00:24:57.000
 There was a

00:24:57.000 --> 00:24:57.599
 diversity of

00:24:57.599 --> 00:24:58.179
 opinion in

00:24:58.179 --> 00:24:58.399
 Jesus'

00:24:58.579 --> 00:24:59.000
 day about

00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:00.079
 who the

00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:01.039
 prophet of

00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:01.439
 Deuteronomy

00:25:01.439 --> 00:25:01.819
 18.

00:25:01.939 --> 00:25:03.279
 15 would

00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:03.639
 be.

00:25:04.159 --> 00:25:04.939
 But some

00:25:04.939 --> 00:25:06.099
 held a

00:25:06.099 --> 00:25:06.980
 messianic

00:25:06.980 --> 00:25:07.659
 interpretation.

00:25:08.179 --> 00:25:08.659
 They understood,

00:25:08.919 --> 00:25:09.259
 which was the

00:25:09.259 --> 00:25:10.259
 right interpretation,

00:25:10.939 --> 00:25:11.559
 that the

00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:12.059
 prophet,

00:25:12.259 --> 00:25:13.259
 like Moses,

00:25:13.579 --> 00:25:14.500
 would be the

00:25:14.500 --> 00:25:15.719
 Messiah.

00:25:16.939 --> 00:25:17.619
 Why would

00:25:17.619 --> 00:25:18.099
 they consider

00:25:18.099 --> 00:25:18.859
 Jesus to be

00:25:18.859 --> 00:25:19.579
 the prophet of

00:25:19.579 --> 00:25:20.299
 Deuteronomy

00:25:20.299 --> 00:25:20.299


00:25:20.299 --> 00:25:20.980
 18.

00:25:21.579 --> 00:25:21.899
 15?

00:25:23.139 --> 00:25:23.439
 Well,

00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:24.159
 just as

00:25:24.159 --> 00:25:25.259
 Moses led

00:25:25.259 --> 00:25:26.079
 God's people

00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:26.419
 out of

00:25:26.419 --> 00:25:26.899
 captivity,

00:25:26.900 --> 00:25:28.019
 into a

00:25:28.019 --> 00:25:28.300
 wilderness

00:25:28.300 --> 00:25:28.900
 place,

00:25:29.220 --> 00:25:29.820
 and provided

00:25:29.820 --> 00:25:30.500
 bread from

00:25:30.500 --> 00:25:30.840
 heaven,

00:25:31.500 --> 00:25:31.840
 it was

00:25:31.840 --> 00:25:32.519
 understood that

00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:33.000
 the Messiah

00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:33.500
 would do

00:25:33.500 --> 00:25:34.180
 the very

00:25:34.180 --> 00:25:35.400
 same.

00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:37.259
 Moses

00:25:37.259 --> 00:25:38.519
 shepherded

00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:39.100
 God's

00:25:39.100 --> 00:25:39.519
 people,

00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:40.540
 and here

00:25:40.540 --> 00:25:41.060
 we see

00:25:41.060 --> 00:25:42.259
 Jesus doing

00:25:42.259 --> 00:25:43.460
 the very

00:25:43.460 --> 00:25:44.519
 same.

00:25:45.740 --> 00:25:46.300
 Our

00:25:46.300 --> 00:25:46.900
 minds,

00:25:47.060 --> 00:25:47.980
 if they're

00:25:47.980 --> 00:25:48.780
 steeped in

00:25:48.780 --> 00:25:49.200
 the biblical

00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:50.100
 narrative,

00:25:50.820 --> 00:25:51.600
 ought to

00:25:51.600 --> 00:25:52.080
 see this.

00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:52.480
 It ought to

00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:53.180
 leap from

00:25:53.180 --> 00:25:53.600
 the pages.

00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:53.920
 And I'll

00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:54.220
 admit to

00:25:54.220 --> 00:25:54.440
 you that

00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:54.800
 it doesn't

00:25:54.800 --> 00:25:55.200
 always do

00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:55.800
 that for

00:25:55.800 --> 00:25:56.620
 me.

00:25:56.900 --> 00:25:57.340
 But

00:25:57.340 --> 00:25:57.720
 Jesus

00:25:57.720 --> 00:25:59.300
 is telling

00:25:59.300 --> 00:25:59.840
 his disciples

00:25:59.840 --> 00:26:00.940
 to command

00:26:00.940 --> 00:26:02.180
 the people

00:26:02.180 --> 00:26:03.019
 to lay

00:26:03.019 --> 00:26:04.000
 down in

00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:05.160
 a grassy

00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:05.980
 field.

00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:07.580
 So back

00:26:07.580 --> 00:26:07.800
 to that

00:26:07.800 --> 00:26:08.340
 question I

00:26:08.340 --> 00:26:08.820
 asked you

00:26:08.820 --> 00:26:09.220
 to hold

00:26:09.220 --> 00:26:09.420
 in your

00:26:09.420 --> 00:26:09.680
 mind.

00:26:09.800 --> 00:26:10.180
 What's

00:26:10.180 --> 00:26:11.019
 going on

00:26:11.019 --> 00:26:11.400
 at the

00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:12.640
 center of

00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:13.140
 the text?

00:26:14.300 --> 00:26:15.180
 Jesus is

00:26:15.180 --> 00:26:15.560
 presenting

00:26:15.560 --> 00:26:16.160
 himself,

00:26:16.560 --> 00:26:17.220
 and Jesus

00:26:17.220 --> 00:26:17.540
 is being

00:26:17.540 --> 00:26:18.420
 presented by

00:26:18.420 --> 00:26:19.960
 John as

00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:20.620
 the new

00:26:20.620 --> 00:26:21.820
 and better

00:26:21.820 --> 00:26:23.120
 Moses,

00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:24.779
 the good

00:26:24.779 --> 00:26:25.839
 shepherd,

00:26:26.479 --> 00:26:27.359
 the prophet.

00:26:28.979 --> 00:26:29.419
 If you

00:26:29.419 --> 00:26:29.719
 are with

00:26:29.719 --> 00:26:30.179
 me on

00:26:30.179 --> 00:26:30.759
 the literary

00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:31.379
 structure of

00:26:31.379 --> 00:26:31.659
 John,

00:26:32.379 --> 00:26:32.979
 guess what

00:26:32.979 --> 00:26:33.479
 chapter

00:26:33.479 --> 00:26:34.419
 corresponds

00:26:34.419 --> 00:26:35.639
 to chapter

00:26:35.639 --> 00:26:36.459
 6?

00:26:36.979 --> 00:26:37.579
 Chapters 1

00:26:37.579 --> 00:26:38.099
 through 11

00:26:38.099 --> 00:26:39.479
 are a

00:26:39.479 --> 00:26:40.079
 chiasm as

00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:40.259
 well.

00:26:41.059 --> 00:26:41.419
 Guess

00:26:41.419 --> 00:26:41.839
 which one?

00:26:42.259 --> 00:26:42.479
 Chapter

00:26:42.479 --> 00:26:42.799
 10.

00:26:43.239 --> 00:26:43.619
 Chapter

00:26:43.619 --> 00:26:44.279
 10 corresponds

00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:44.739
 to chapter

00:26:44.739 --> 00:26:45.079
 6.

00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:46.239
 And in

00:26:46.239 --> 00:26:46.859
 chapter 10,

00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:47.299
 Jesus'

00:26:47.619 --> 00:26:48.819
 good shepherd

00:26:48.819 --> 00:26:49.559
 discourse

00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:50.859
 takes place.

00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:52.759
 It's cool

00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:53.159
 stuff.

00:26:54.019 --> 00:26:54.460
 Verse 10,

00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:55.159
 Jesus said,

00:26:55.679 --> 00:26:56.379
 have the

00:26:56.379 --> 00:26:57.579
 people sit

00:26:57.579 --> 00:26:58.159
 down.

00:26:58.819 --> 00:26:59.159
 Now there

00:26:59.159 --> 00:26:59.980
 was much

00:26:59.980 --> 00:27:02.000
 grass in

00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:02.539
 the place.

00:27:03.919 --> 00:27:04.399
 Perhaps

00:27:04.399 --> 00:27:04.779
 your mind

00:27:04.779 --> 00:27:05.399
 goes to a

00:27:05.399 --> 00:27:05.980
 place like

00:27:05.980 --> 00:27:07.319
 Psalm 23.

00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:09.159
 This kind

00:27:09.159 --> 00:27:09.659
 of imagery

00:27:09.659 --> 00:27:10.299
 is presented

00:27:10.299 --> 00:27:11.079
 to you.

00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:12.299
 Psalmist

00:27:12.299 --> 00:27:12.740
 says there,

00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:13.079
 the Lord

00:27:13.079 --> 00:27:13.419
 is my

00:27:13.419 --> 00:27:13.799
 shepherd.

00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:15.299
 I shall

00:27:15.299 --> 00:27:15.919
 not want.

00:27:16.339 --> 00:27:16.539
 I should

00:27:16.539 --> 00:27:17.319
 be satisfied.

00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:18.740
 He makes

00:27:18.740 --> 00:27:19.079
 me

00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:20.359
 lie down

00:27:20.359 --> 00:27:20.939
 in green

00:27:20.939 --> 00:27:21.559
 pastures.

00:27:22.379 --> 00:27:22.919
 He leads

00:27:22.919 --> 00:27:23.399
 me beside

00:27:23.399 --> 00:27:24.099
 still waters.

00:27:24.259 --> 00:27:25.159
 He restores

00:27:25.159 --> 00:27:26.480
 my soul.

00:27:27.199 --> 00:27:27.779
 He leads

00:27:27.779 --> 00:27:28.720
 me in

00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:29.439
 paths of

00:27:29.439 --> 00:27:29.859
 righteousness

00:27:29.859 --> 00:27:31.179
 for his

00:27:31.179 --> 00:27:31.859
 name's sake.

00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:32.960
 So we see

00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:33.480
 Jesus in

00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:33.980
 this text

00:27:33.980 --> 00:27:34.519
 as the

00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:35.740
 new and

00:27:35.740 --> 00:27:36.079
 better

00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:36.980
 Moses,

00:27:37.259 --> 00:27:37.539
 the one

00:27:37.539 --> 00:27:37.899
 who will

00:27:37.899 --> 00:27:38.879
 lead his

00:27:38.879 --> 00:27:40.000
 people out

00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:40.599
 of captivity

00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:41.740
 from sin,

00:27:42.500 --> 00:27:42.759
 shepherd

00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:43.299
 them in

00:27:43.299 --> 00:27:43.779
 the wilderness,

00:27:44.019 --> 00:27:44.740
 and finally

00:27:44.740 --> 00:27:45.519
 deliver them

00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:46.379
 to the

00:27:46.379 --> 00:27:46.679
 promised

00:27:46.679 --> 00:27:47.299
 land.

00:27:47.299 --> 00:27:49.539
 third,

00:27:49.639 --> 00:27:49.859
 we see

00:27:49.859 --> 00:27:50.659
 Jesus as

00:27:50.659 --> 00:27:51.299
 the now

00:27:51.299 --> 00:27:52.359
 and forever

00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:53.399
 king.

00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:55.759
 Verse 15

00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:56.139
 says,

00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:56.700
 perceiving

00:27:56.700 --> 00:27:57.019
 then that

00:27:57.019 --> 00:27:57.259
 they were

00:27:57.259 --> 00:27:57.659
 about to

00:27:57.659 --> 00:27:58.119
 come and

00:27:58.119 --> 00:27:58.579
 take him

00:27:58.579 --> 00:27:59.460
 by force

00:27:59.460 --> 00:28:00.039
 to make

00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:00.759
 him king,

00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:02.319
 Jesus withdrew

00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:03.559
 again to

00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:04.039
 the mountain

00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:04.419
 or the

00:28:04.419 --> 00:28:04.960
 mountains

00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:06.519
 by himself.

00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:08.359
 As you

00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:08.759
 study the

00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:09.159
 gospels,

00:28:09.220 --> 00:28:09.440
 you will

00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:10.259
 note over

00:28:10.259 --> 00:28:10.919
 and over

00:28:10.919 --> 00:28:11.240
 the

00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:11.940
 misconceptions

00:28:11.940 --> 00:28:13.079
 of who

00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:13.720
 the

00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:14.220
 Messiah

00:28:14.220 --> 00:28:15.660
 was to

00:28:15.660 --> 00:28:15.900
 be.

00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:16.900
 We have

00:28:16.900 --> 00:28:17.299
 mentioned it

00:28:17.299 --> 00:28:18.100
 already many

00:28:18.100 --> 00:28:18.640
 times in

00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:19.079
 our study

00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:19.819
 of John.

00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:20.720
 The most

00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:21.160
 common

00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:21.759
 misconception

00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:22.559
 was that

00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:23.039
 the Messiah

00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:23.559
 would come

00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:24.319
 to liberate

00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:25.180
 Israel from

00:28:25.180 --> 00:28:26.000
 its Roman

00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:27.279
 oppression,

00:28:28.100 --> 00:28:28.819
 reestablish

00:28:28.819 --> 00:28:29.680
 its former

00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:30.819
 temporal

00:28:30.819 --> 00:28:32.140
 glory.

00:28:32.299 --> 00:28:32.720
 This is what

00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:33.519
 most of them

00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:34.059
 were looking

00:28:34.059 --> 00:28:34.640
 to.

00:28:34.900 --> 00:28:35.279
 That's who

00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:35.720
 the Christ

00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:36.100
 would be.

00:28:36.380 --> 00:28:36.819
 Many Jews

00:28:36.819 --> 00:28:37.220
 today,

00:28:37.360 --> 00:28:37.740
 in the very

00:28:37.740 --> 00:28:38.559
 same way,

00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:39.120
 they're looking

00:28:39.120 --> 00:28:40.500
 for the

00:28:40.500 --> 00:28:40.880
 Messiah,

00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:41.839
 for temporal

00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:43.000
 relief.

00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:43.079
 life.

00:28:43.819 --> 00:28:44.299
 This is the

00:28:44.299 --> 00:28:44.700
 issue at

00:28:44.700 --> 00:28:45.299
 hand in

00:28:45.299 --> 00:28:46.579
 verse 15.

00:28:48.059 --> 00:28:48.559
 Did Jesus

00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:49.220
 possess the

00:28:49.220 --> 00:28:50.259
 power to

00:28:50.259 --> 00:28:50.759
 gather an

00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:51.400
 army and

00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:52.000
 overthrow

00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:52.619
 Rome?

00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:54.200
 Of course

00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:54.980
 he did.

00:28:55.660 --> 00:28:56.000
 With a

00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:56.680
 single word

00:28:56.680 --> 00:28:56.940
 he could

00:28:56.940 --> 00:28:57.400
 call down

00:28:57.400 --> 00:28:58.140
 legions from

00:28:58.140 --> 00:28:58.599
 heaven and

00:28:58.599 --> 00:28:59.119
 wipe the

00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:00.039
 Romans off

00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:01.259
 the map.

00:29:01.799 --> 00:29:03.200
 Jesus is

00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:03.759
 God.

00:29:04.980 --> 00:29:05.339
 But he

00:29:05.339 --> 00:29:06.500
 came not

00:29:06.500 --> 00:29:07.220
 to establish

00:29:07.220 --> 00:29:08.000
 the kingdom

00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:09.539
 of our

00:29:09.539 --> 00:29:10.579
 choosing,

00:29:11.299 --> 00:29:11.960
 but of

00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:12.339
 his

00:29:12.339 --> 00:29:13.559
 fathers.

00:29:14.740 --> 00:29:15.159
 Recall

00:29:15.159 --> 00:29:15.759
 chapter 5

00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:16.519
 verse 19.

00:29:17.059 --> 00:29:17.480
 Jesus said

00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:17.819
 to them,

00:29:17.899 --> 00:29:18.059
 truly,

00:29:18.199 --> 00:29:18.500
 truly I

00:29:18.500 --> 00:29:18.799
 say to

00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:19.039
 you,

00:29:19.639 --> 00:29:19.959
 the son

00:29:19.959 --> 00:29:20.279
 can do

00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:20.759
 nothing of

00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:21.019
 his own

00:29:21.019 --> 00:29:21.319
 accord,

00:29:21.399 --> 00:29:21.779
 but only

00:29:21.779 --> 00:29:22.079
 what he

00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:22.519
 sees the

00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:23.199
 father doing.

00:29:23.779 --> 00:29:23.899
 For

00:29:23.899 --> 00:29:24.299
 whatever the

00:29:24.299 --> 00:29:25.059
 father does,

00:29:25.159 --> 00:29:25.759
 that the

00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:27.199
 son does

00:29:27.199 --> 00:29:28.399
 likewise.

00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:30.199
 He knows

00:29:30.199 --> 00:29:30.539
 that it's

00:29:30.539 --> 00:29:31.000
 not his

00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:31.919
 purpose to

00:29:31.919 --> 00:29:32.659
 be made

00:29:32.659 --> 00:29:33.159
 a king,

00:29:33.339 --> 00:29:33.980
 to lead

00:29:33.980 --> 00:29:34.599
 an army,

00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:35.319
 to overthrow

00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:36.240
 Rome.

00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:36.980
 He has a

00:29:36.980 --> 00:29:37.619
 higher

00:29:37.619 --> 00:29:38.259
 purpose,

00:29:38.679 --> 00:29:38.839
 right?

00:29:39.299 --> 00:29:40.459
 A better

00:29:40.459 --> 00:29:41.119
 fulfillment,

00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:41.959
 a way

00:29:41.959 --> 00:29:42.279
 that he's

00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:42.500
 going to

00:29:42.500 --> 00:29:43.019
 bring about

00:29:43.019 --> 00:29:43.959
 an eternal

00:29:43.959 --> 00:29:45.500
 kingdom that

00:29:45.500 --> 00:29:45.839
 God the

00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:47.379
 father ordained,

00:29:47.500 --> 00:29:47.959
 God the

00:29:47.959 --> 00:29:48.299
 son,

00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:49.279
 and God

00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:49.899
 the spirit

00:29:49.899 --> 00:29:51.079
 accomplished.

00:29:51.199 --> 00:29:51.899
 They establish

00:29:51.899 --> 00:29:52.239
 it.

00:29:53.739 --> 00:29:54.019
 Do you

00:29:54.019 --> 00:29:54.579
 remember the

00:29:54.579 --> 00:29:55.059
 title that

00:29:55.059 --> 00:29:55.599
 Jesus most

00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:56.679
 regularly gives

00:29:56.679 --> 00:29:57.659
 to himself?

00:29:58.419 --> 00:29:59.039
 He calls

00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:00.459
 himself the

00:30:00.459 --> 00:30:00.799
 son of

00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:01.179
 man.

00:30:02.239 --> 00:30:02.519
 Do you

00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:03.159
 recall where

00:30:03.159 --> 00:30:03.959
 that title

00:30:03.959 --> 00:30:04.899
 comes from?

00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:06.259
 It's Daniel

00:30:06.259 --> 00:30:07.079
 chapter 7

00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:08.659
 verse 13

00:30:08.660 --> 00:30:09.460
 and 14.

00:30:09.980 --> 00:30:10.800
 Daniel sees

00:30:10.800 --> 00:30:11.800
 in a vision,

00:30:11.940 --> 00:30:12.560
 in a dream,

00:30:12.660 --> 00:30:12.900
 and says,

00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:13.620
 and behold,

00:30:14.140 --> 00:30:14.540
 with the

00:30:14.540 --> 00:30:15.000
 clouds of

00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:15.420
 heaven there

00:30:15.420 --> 00:30:16.279
 came one

00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:17.140
 like a

00:30:17.140 --> 00:30:18.360
 son of

00:30:18.360 --> 00:30:18.759
 man.

00:30:19.220 --> 00:30:19.660
 And he

00:30:19.660 --> 00:30:20.100
 came to

00:30:20.100 --> 00:30:20.540
 the ancient

00:30:20.540 --> 00:30:21.220
 of days and

00:30:21.220 --> 00:30:21.779
 was presented

00:30:21.779 --> 00:30:22.560
 before him.

00:30:23.180 --> 00:30:23.740
 And to

00:30:23.740 --> 00:30:24.160
 him was

00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:25.200
 given dominion

00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:26.320
 and glory

00:30:26.320 --> 00:30:27.060
 and a

00:30:27.060 --> 00:30:27.660
 kingdom that

00:30:27.660 --> 00:30:28.660
 all people's

00:30:28.660 --> 00:30:29.259
 nations and

00:30:29.259 --> 00:30:29.920
 languages should

00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:30.700
 serve him.

00:30:31.380 --> 00:30:31.600
 His

00:30:31.600 --> 00:30:32.180
 dominion is

00:30:32.180 --> 00:30:32.900
 an everlasting

00:30:32.900 --> 00:30:33.680
 dominion which

00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:34.380
 shall not pass

00:30:34.380 --> 00:30:35.360
 away, and

00:30:35.360 --> 00:30:35.920
 his kingdom

00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:36.980
 one that

00:30:36.980 --> 00:30:37.880
 shall not be

00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:39.340
 destroyed.

00:30:41.040 --> 00:30:41.960
 Jesus is not

00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:43.700
 uninterested in

00:30:43.700 --> 00:30:44.620
 the temporal

00:30:44.620 --> 00:30:45.700
 affairs of

00:30:45.700 --> 00:30:46.000
 man.

00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:47.600
 He is.

00:30:48.420 --> 00:30:48.880
 He's not

00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:49.920
 indifferent to

00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:50.800
 the tragedies

00:30:50.800 --> 00:30:52.140
 of this past

00:30:52.140 --> 00:30:52.700
 week.

00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:54.180
 He cares.

00:30:54.960 --> 00:30:55.880
 But we do

00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:56.800
 well to note

00:30:56.800 --> 00:30:58.900
 as we grapple

00:30:58.900 --> 00:30:59.680
 with the

00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:01.120
 state of our

00:31:01.120 --> 00:31:02.920
 state that

00:31:02.920 --> 00:31:03.560
 Jesus is

00:31:03.560 --> 00:31:04.380
 firstly,

00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:05.340
 primarily

00:31:05.340 --> 00:31:07.120
 concerned with

00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:07.939
 the eternal

00:31:07.939 --> 00:31:08.899
 kingdom.

00:31:09.779 --> 00:31:10.500
 How all of

00:31:10.500 --> 00:31:11.039
 this plays

00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:11.799
 into that,

00:31:11.939 --> 00:31:12.579
 I don't

00:31:12.579 --> 00:31:13.059
 know.

00:31:13.539 --> 00:31:14.199
 I'm not

00:31:14.199 --> 00:31:14.939
 sure how

00:31:14.939 --> 00:31:15.319
 it's all

00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:15.539
 going to

00:31:15.539 --> 00:31:15.899
 come to

00:31:15.899 --> 00:31:16.259
 pass,

00:31:16.339 --> 00:31:16.599
 but what

00:31:16.599 --> 00:31:17.099
 we can

00:31:17.099 --> 00:31:17.599
 be sure

00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:18.219
 is that

00:31:18.219 --> 00:31:18.839
 it will

00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:20.399
 come to

00:31:20.399 --> 00:31:20.859
 pass.

00:31:21.679 --> 00:31:21.959
 And the

00:31:21.959 --> 00:31:22.419
 question for

00:31:22.419 --> 00:31:22.759
 us in the

00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:23.299
 meantime is

00:31:23.299 --> 00:31:24.119
 how do we

00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:24.779
 be faithful?

00:31:24.779 --> 00:31:26.660
 God

00:31:26.660 --> 00:31:27.700
 is

00:31:27.700 --> 00:31:28.500
 establishing a

00:31:28.500 --> 00:31:29.339
 kingdom and

00:31:29.339 --> 00:31:29.619
 it's a

00:31:29.619 --> 00:31:30.220
 kingdom that

00:31:30.220 --> 00:31:31.139
 will come

00:31:31.139 --> 00:31:31.960
 and will

00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:33.200
 not be

00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:34.980
 destroyed.

00:31:36.139 --> 00:31:37.399
 That means

00:31:37.399 --> 00:31:37.839
 that Jesus

00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:40.480
 is the

00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:41.139
 forever king,

00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:42.240
 but he is

00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:44.379
 also the

00:31:44.379 --> 00:31:45.899
 now king.

00:31:47.099 --> 00:31:47.399
 Jesus

00:31:47.399 --> 00:31:48.700
 upholds the

00:31:48.700 --> 00:31:49.819
 universe by

00:31:49.819 --> 00:31:50.940
 the word of

00:31:50.940 --> 00:31:52.559
 his power,

00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:53.519
 Hebrews chapter

00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:54.839
 1 and

00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:55.419
 verse 3.

00:31:55.700 --> 00:31:56.299
 And that

00:31:56.299 --> 00:31:58.279
 includes the

00:31:58.279 --> 00:32:00.259
 minutia of

00:32:00.259 --> 00:32:01.179
 things happening

00:32:01.179 --> 00:32:01.460
 in our

00:32:01.460 --> 00:32:01.859
 country,

00:32:02.299 --> 00:32:03.299
 things happening

00:32:03.299 --> 00:32:04.279
 in your home,

00:32:04.579 --> 00:32:05.240
 things happening

00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:06.119
 in your very

00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:07.879
 own heart.

00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:09.799
 Jesus is not

00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:11.039
 relinquishing his

00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:12.299
 control to

00:32:12.299 --> 00:32:12.759
 anyone.

00:32:13.740 --> 00:32:14.679
 I heard a

00:32:14.679 --> 00:32:15.339
 question this

00:32:15.339 --> 00:32:15.980
 week from

00:32:15.980 --> 00:32:17.980
 somebody close

00:32:17.980 --> 00:32:18.679
 to me how it

00:32:18.679 --> 00:32:19.599
 just didn't make

00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:21.480
 sense why God

00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:22.399
 would allow this

00:32:22.399 --> 00:32:23.679
 assassination to

00:32:23.679 --> 00:32:24.939
 take place,

00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:25.539
 because they

00:32:25.539 --> 00:32:26.399
 saw a greater

00:32:26.399 --> 00:32:28.980
 good in him

00:32:28.980 --> 00:32:30.099
 remaining here.

00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:32.359
 We ought to

00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:33.059
 be people who

00:32:33.059 --> 00:32:34.579
 trust in God's

00:32:34.579 --> 00:32:36.240
 absolute sovereignty

00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:37.759
 over all things.

00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:38.939
 It doesn't

00:32:38.939 --> 00:32:39.559
 diminish the

00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:40.419
 tragedy of it,

00:32:41.019 --> 00:32:41.500
 but God's

00:32:41.500 --> 00:32:42.240
 people ought to

00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:43.119
 be the most

00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:44.199
 confident,

00:32:44.980 --> 00:32:46.439
 unmoved

00:32:46.439 --> 00:32:47.519
 people at

00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:48.039
 times like

00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:48.419
 this.

00:32:48.420 --> 00:32:50.340
 We're going

00:32:50.340 --> 00:32:50.900
 to be okay.

00:32:51.080 --> 00:32:51.300
 You know

00:32:51.300 --> 00:32:51.560
 why?

00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:52.400
 Because Jesus

00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:53.240
 reigns.

00:32:54.140 --> 00:32:55.000
 If God is

00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:55.539
 for us,

00:32:56.120 --> 00:32:56.900
 who can be

00:32:56.900 --> 00:32:57.539
 against us?

00:33:00.340 --> 00:33:01.019
 So some

00:33:01.019 --> 00:33:02.140
 quick application.

00:33:03.180 --> 00:33:03.539
 I've already

00:33:03.539 --> 00:33:04.100
 jumped into it

00:33:04.100 --> 00:33:04.420
 a little bit

00:33:04.420 --> 00:33:04.640
 ahead.

00:33:06.019 --> 00:33:06.600
 Number one,

00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:08.420
 go to Jesus

00:33:08.420 --> 00:33:09.320
 for Jesus.

00:33:09.860 --> 00:33:10.600
 If you're not

00:33:10.600 --> 00:33:11.440
 found in Christ,

00:33:11.560 --> 00:33:12.019
 don't come to

00:33:12.019 --> 00:33:12.600
 Christ for what

00:33:12.600 --> 00:33:13.100
 he can offer

00:33:13.100 --> 00:33:13.380
 you.

00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:15.200
 Many blessings,

00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:16.060
 many blessings,

00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:16.900
 infinite blessings

00:33:16.900 --> 00:33:18.240
 are found in

00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:18.819
 Jesus,

00:33:18.980 --> 00:33:19.420
 but he

00:33:19.420 --> 00:33:20.640
 himself is

00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:21.220
 the greatest

00:33:21.220 --> 00:33:22.039
 of all of

00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:22.599
 those blessings.

00:33:24.140 --> 00:33:24.920
 If that idea

00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:25.259
 is just

00:33:25.259 --> 00:33:25.960
 foreign to

00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:26.279
 you,

00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:26.859
 oh,

00:33:26.920 --> 00:33:27.279
 please come

00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:27.640
 talk to

00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:27.799
 me.

00:33:27.940 --> 00:33:28.259
 I'd love

00:33:28.259 --> 00:33:29.019
 to talk

00:33:29.019 --> 00:33:29.359
 to you

00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:29.900
 about the

00:33:29.900 --> 00:33:30.799
 riches found

00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:31.819
 in Christ

00:33:31.819 --> 00:33:32.779
 himself.

00:33:33.220 --> 00:33:33.960
 He is

00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:35.220
 precious.

00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:36.420
 And if you

00:33:36.420 --> 00:33:36.779
 are in

00:33:36.779 --> 00:33:37.180
 Christ,

00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:38.140
 don't forget

00:33:38.140 --> 00:33:38.819
 that truth.

00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:40.099
 You're so

00:33:40.099 --> 00:33:41.839
 quick to,

00:33:42.220 --> 00:33:42.380
 yeah,

00:33:42.500 --> 00:33:42.660
 yeah,

00:33:42.740 --> 00:33:43.039
 Jesus,

00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:43.539
 and want to

00:33:43.539 --> 00:33:44.120
 move on

00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:44.739
 from him

00:33:44.739 --> 00:33:45.199
 and see

00:33:45.199 --> 00:33:45.500
 what it

00:33:45.500 --> 00:33:45.799
 is that

00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:46.119
 he can

00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:46.699
 accomplish

00:33:46.699 --> 00:33:47.879
 on our

00:33:47.879 --> 00:33:48.339
 behalf.

00:33:50.159 --> 00:33:50.479
 Secondly,

00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:52.000
 find rest

00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:52.719
 for your

00:33:52.719 --> 00:33:53.719
 souls

00:33:53.719 --> 00:33:54.739
 in Christ.

00:33:55.799 --> 00:33:56.179
 He's the

00:33:56.179 --> 00:33:56.399
 new and

00:33:56.399 --> 00:33:56.599
 better

00:33:56.599 --> 00:33:57.079
 Moses.

00:33:57.219 --> 00:33:57.639
 He's the

00:33:57.639 --> 00:33:59.500
 good shepherd

00:33:59.500 --> 00:34:00.279
 and he invites

00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:01.059
 us to lie

00:34:01.059 --> 00:34:02.159
 down in

00:34:02.159 --> 00:34:03.699
 green pastures

00:34:03.699 --> 00:34:04.839
 to be

00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:05.959
 satisfied

00:34:05.959 --> 00:34:07.019
 in him.

00:34:07.659 --> 00:34:08.139
 It doesn't

00:34:08.139 --> 00:34:08.839
 diminish our

00:34:08.839 --> 00:34:09.539
 responsibilities.

00:34:09.539 --> 00:34:10.239
 We have

00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:11.139
 much to

00:34:11.139 --> 00:34:12.179
 do on

00:34:12.179 --> 00:34:12.719
 the earth,

00:34:12.980 --> 00:34:13.820
 many things

00:34:13.820 --> 00:34:14.539
 to think

00:34:14.539 --> 00:34:14.880
 through,

00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:15.679
 but our

00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:16.800
 souls should

00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:17.619
 remain at

00:34:17.619 --> 00:34:18.380
 rest even

00:34:18.380 --> 00:34:19.059
 as we

00:34:19.059 --> 00:34:20.579
 work to

00:34:20.579 --> 00:34:20.940
 live his

00:34:20.940 --> 00:34:21.239
 will,

00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:21.820
 bring about

00:34:21.820 --> 00:34:22.460
 his good

00:34:22.460 --> 00:34:22.920
 in the

00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:24.480
 places that

00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:24.880
 we live.

00:34:26.039 --> 00:34:26.659
 And finally,

00:34:27.019 --> 00:34:28.380
 just trust.

00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:29.420
 Trust in

00:34:29.420 --> 00:34:30.079
 the reign

00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:31.659
 of the

00:34:31.659 --> 00:34:31.960
 king.

00:34:32.619 --> 00:34:33.159
 He gives

00:34:33.159 --> 00:34:33.400
 to his

00:34:33.400 --> 00:34:33.719
 people

00:34:33.719 --> 00:34:34.320
 tasks.

00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:35.699
 He reigns

00:34:35.699 --> 00:34:36.639
 through the

00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:37.139
 life of his

00:34:37.139 --> 00:34:37.960
 church in

00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:38.279
 the world

00:34:38.279 --> 00:34:38.719
 in which we

00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:39.019
 live,

00:34:39.019 --> 00:34:39.780
 but beloved,

00:34:39.900 --> 00:34:40.519
 we have

00:34:40.519 --> 00:34:41.259
 to start

00:34:41.259 --> 00:34:42.179
 with trust.

00:34:43.139 --> 00:34:43.719
 We have

00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:44.440
 to begin

00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:45.039
 with that

00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:45.900
 disposition.

00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:46.940
 Our

00:34:46.940 --> 00:34:47.820
 God

00:34:47.820 --> 00:34:49.159
 reigns.

00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:50.059
 He is not

00:34:50.059 --> 00:34:50.579
 firstly

00:34:50.579 --> 00:34:51.780
 concerned about

00:34:51.780 --> 00:34:52.420
 the temporal

00:34:52.420 --> 00:34:53.099
 affairs of

00:34:53.099 --> 00:34:53.759
 this world.

00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:54.179
 He is

00:34:54.179 --> 00:34:54.940
 firstly,

00:34:55.059 --> 00:34:55.380
 and praise

00:34:55.380 --> 00:34:55.920
 God,

00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:56.239
 he is

00:34:56.239 --> 00:34:56.800
 firstly

00:34:56.800 --> 00:34:57.860
 concerned

00:34:57.860 --> 00:34:58.699
 about the

00:34:58.699 --> 00:34:59.099
 building of

00:34:59.099 --> 00:34:59.699
 his church,

00:35:00.539 --> 00:35:01.159
 the second

00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:01.759
 coming of

00:35:01.759 --> 00:35:02.400
 his son,

00:35:03.280 --> 00:35:04.079
 the establishment

00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:05.199
 of a new

00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:06.119
 heaven and

00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:06.619
 a new

00:35:06.619 --> 00:35:07.559
 earth where

00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:08.079
 we will

00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:09.119
 enjoy his

00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:10.679
 reign forever.

00:35:11.099 --> 00:35:11.420
 Let's be

00:35:11.420 --> 00:35:12.299
 a people

00:35:12.299 --> 00:35:13.679
 that declare

00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:14.179
 that,

00:35:14.619 --> 00:35:15.239
 say it out

00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:15.559
 loud,

00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:16.199
 and experience

00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:16.599
 it to be

00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:17.460
 true in

00:35:17.460 --> 00:35:17.940
 our own

00:35:17.940 --> 00:35:18.759
 hearts.

00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:19.719
 Let's pray

00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:20.259
 together to

00:35:20.259 --> 00:35:20.679
 that end.

00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:33.779
 as

00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779


00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779

00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779

00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779


00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779


00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779


00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779


00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779


00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779


00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779


00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779


00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779


00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779


00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779


00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779


00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779


00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779

00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779


00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779


00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779

00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779


00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779


00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:33.779
