WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:13.780
 We come to the baptism of Annie Voinikov. We baptise the children of believers not because

00:00:13.780 --> 00:00:21.179
! and not because of tradition, but because we believe the Bible directly commands it.

00:00:21.179 --> 00:00:28.240
! And we believe that God, in the way that He deals with people, always deals with people

00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:29.500
! by a covenant.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.219
 He always deals with people by His promises. We've seen that haven't we with Adam and Eve?

00:00:35.219 --> 00:00:42.159
 He deals with them by a covenant. And we also see that throughout the Bible, people are not

00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:49.140
 just individuals. God deals with us as families, as covenant people. So the great promise to

00:00:49.140 --> 00:00:54.740
 Abraham is, I will be your God, and you will be my people, and I will be the God of your

00:00:54.740 --> 00:00:59.679
 children also. And so in the Old Testament, the covenant sign was given to baby boys.

00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:06.379
 It was given to baby boys, circumcision. And it was a cutting away. Now that didn't mean

00:01:06.379 --> 00:01:10.579
 that those children didn't need to be born again. Of course they did. The Bible talks

00:01:10.579 --> 00:01:15.500
 again and again, doesn't it, about our hearts being circumcised. They needed to be born again.

00:01:15.620 --> 00:01:21.760
 They needed to have a right relationship with God. But they were part of the covenant people

00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.300
 of God. They haven't believed the promises for themselves, but they belong to the people.

00:01:26.299 --> 00:01:31.819
 And so as you come to the New Testament, we see that the Passover is replaced by the Lord's

00:01:31.819 --> 00:01:38.399
 Supper. We see that circumcision is replaced by baptism. Let me just read to you from the

00:01:38.399 --> 00:01:45.920
 book of Colossians. These verses. It says, in Him you were also circumcised. That is in

00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:50.700
 Christ. In the putting off of the sinful nature. That is what circumcision pointed them to.

00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:55.299
 Not with the circumcision done by the hands of men, but with the circumcision done by baptism.

00:01:56.100 --> 00:02:03.159
 Done by Christ. Having been buried with Him in baptism. And raised with Him through your

00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:06.680
 faith. In the power of God who raised Him from the dead.

00:02:07.460 --> 00:02:14.159
 It's saying that what circumcision meant and what baptism means are the same thing.

00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:21.780
 And God still deals with people, doesn't he, by nature of a covenant. And the covenant is,

00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:29.139
 this promise is for you, and for your children, and for all who are far off. That is Acts chapter 2.

00:02:30.079 --> 00:02:36.919
 God dealt with His people and their children by a covenant in the Old Testament. So when you

00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:41.319
 come to the New Testament, children are not worse off, are they? They are still part of the

00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:47.459
 people of God. So what does it mean for Annie? Little Annie Voynichoff this morning. Well, I

00:02:47.459 --> 00:02:54.939
 found this book when I was up in Aberdeen. And lots of books on baptism are absolutely awful.

00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:00.879
 But this book is very, very helpful. So let me say to you what your baptism means. At your baptism,

00:03:01.139 --> 00:03:09.780
 God tells you that for you, Jesus Christ came into the world. You are baptized because you belong

00:03:09.780 --> 00:03:16.319
 to God. It is God's sign of covenant ownership. And you are part of God's family. For you,

00:03:16.460 --> 00:03:23.039
 Jesus Christ came into the world. You children here. For you. Christ Jesus came into the world

00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:29.219
 to save sin. God sent His Son Jesus into the world to become human like us without sin. For you,

00:03:29.659 --> 00:03:35.599
 Jesus lived and showed God's love. While He lived on earth, Jesus was a healer, a teacher,

00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:42.379
 a friend and so much more. For you, He suffered the darkness of Calvary and cried at the last,

00:03:42.500 --> 00:03:48.240
 it is finished. Jesus showed His great love for us by dying on the cross. The Bible tells

00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:55.959
 us that Jesus' death takes away the sin of the world. For you, Jesus triumphed over death

00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:02.920
 and rose in newness of life. But death was not the end. Jesus came back to life. Now we can live

00:04:02.920 --> 00:04:08.400
 each day with God's power. And when we die, we can live with God forever. For you, He ascended

00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:13.960
 to reign at God's right hand. When Jesus left earth, He returned to heaven. He talks to God,

00:04:14.020 --> 00:04:20.540
 the Father, about us and sent the Holy Spirit with us all the time. And this He did for you

00:04:20.540 --> 00:04:29.740
 before you knew anything of it. Jesus lived, died and rose for us because He loves us. And

00:04:29.740 --> 00:04:35.020
 we don't have to do anything to earn His love. And so the word of Scripture is fulfilled.

00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:41.620
 We love because God loved us first. And we see God's love for us through Jesus. Jesus shows

00:04:41.620 --> 00:04:47.600
 us how to love so that we can love God and other people. And when you think about your baptism,

00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:54.500
 all of us, remember that God loves you. Remember that you are part of God's worldwide family.

00:04:55.640 --> 00:05:01.280
 And no one can take these promises away from you. These promises are for you. They are for

00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:07.400
 you. Each one of you has been baptized. And so believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be

00:05:07.400 --> 00:05:16.800
 saved. Love those promises and believe them. Bristol, Paul, Maria and Annie do come to the

00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:26.319
 front. If you bought one of these books, if you're a child who's been baptized, come on,

00:05:26.340 --> 00:05:30.980
 I'll give you one. If you're an adult, you can buy it. Come on.

00:05:30.980 --> 00:05:43.080
 Let's pray. Let's pray. Let's pray. Let's pray. Let's pray. Let's pray. Let's pray. Let's pray.

00:05:43.080 --> 00:05:53.360
 Let's pray. Let's pray. Let's pray. Let's pray. Let's pray. Let's pray. Let's pray. Let's pray.

00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.980
 we praise you that you are the God of the covenant

00:05:56.980 --> 00:05:59.660
 that you have made promises

00:05:59.660 --> 00:06:01.060
 that you will be our God

00:06:01.060 --> 00:06:03.000
 and we will be your people

00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:04.639
 and you will be the God of our children

00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:07.160
 so we pray for this household

00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:07.900
 this family

00:06:07.900 --> 00:06:10.560
 pray that they will love you

00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:12.800
 and they will follow you

00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:15.100
 and Christo will say all the days

00:06:15.100 --> 00:06:16.920
 as for me and my house

00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:19.020
 we will serve the Lord

00:06:19.020 --> 00:06:21.560
 so we thank you for the sacrament

00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:23.579
 we thank you for this baptism

00:06:23.579 --> 00:06:25.959
 which is a picture of your covenant love

00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:27.740
 which is a sign and a seal

00:06:27.740 --> 00:06:30.220
 and shows us that we belong

00:06:30.220 --> 00:06:31.579
 to your family

00:06:31.579 --> 00:06:34.259
 shows us that the blood of Jesus Christ

00:06:34.259 --> 00:06:36.639
 cleanses us and washes us from all sin

00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:38.720
 so we pray for her

00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.360
 that she will love you all her days

00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.959
 that she will follow the Lord Jesus Christ

00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:45.980
 and you will be her shepherd

00:06:45.980 --> 00:06:48.220
 so we pray this in Jesus' name

00:06:48.220 --> 00:06:49.819
 Amen

00:06:49.819 --> 00:06:52.019
 I'm going to ask you questions

00:06:52.019 --> 00:06:54.339
 I don't have a time

00:06:54.339 --> 00:06:56.079
 I'll try and hold it

00:06:56.079 --> 00:07:03.420
 Do you acknowledge

00:07:03.420 --> 00:07:07.079
 that you are saved only through faith in Jesus

00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.159
 and that you trust in God

00:07:09.159 --> 00:07:10.699
 anything you have done or will ever do

00:07:10.699 --> 00:07:12.300
 but only in the finished work

00:07:12.300 --> 00:07:14.899
 is there to come to Christ

00:07:14.899 --> 00:07:16.939
 by which you took upon yourself

00:07:16.939 --> 00:07:18.219
 a penalty for sins

00:07:18.219 --> 00:07:29.599
 I can't beat the suspense

00:07:29.599 --> 00:07:30.099
 in the moment

00:07:30.099 --> 00:07:39.179
 Do you realise that baptism

00:07:39.179 --> 00:07:40.639
 is not a saving ordinance

00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:43.560
 and though it signifies Annie's membership

00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:44.560
 in the covenant community

00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:45.839
 it is not a matter of magic

00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:47.519
 and do you understand

00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:49.219
 that she is herself responsible

00:07:49.219 --> 00:07:51.399
 to receive Christ as Saviour and Lord

00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:53.439
 as she becomes accountable to him

00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:54.839
 Yes, really long

00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:58.000
 Do you in this sacrament

00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:59.459
 covenant together with God

00:07:59.459 --> 00:08:00.279
 to raise Annie

00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:01.659
 in the instruction, obedience

00:08:01.659 --> 00:08:02.959
 and worship of the Lord

00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:04.659
 to pray for and with her

00:08:04.659 --> 00:08:06.459
 to keep her in the fellowship

00:08:06.459 --> 00:08:07.279
 of God's people

00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:08.639
 to be faithful

00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:10.079
 and loving in your home

00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:12.500
 to be an immediate example of faith

00:08:12.500 --> 00:08:13.179
 and therefore

00:08:13.179 --> 00:08:14.099
 to do your utmost

00:08:14.099 --> 00:08:14.819
 to lead her

00:08:14.819 --> 00:08:15.839
 to a saving knowledge

00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:17.219
 of Christ at an early age

00:08:17.219 --> 00:08:17.779
 Amen

00:08:17.779 --> 00:08:19.659
 Do you acknowledge

00:08:19.659 --> 00:08:21.299
 that Annie is a gift from God

00:08:21.299 --> 00:08:22.000
 who is of course

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:23.240
 to be cherished and enjoyed

00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:24.839
 but who belongs at last

00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:25.379
 not to you

00:08:25.379 --> 00:08:26.060
 but to God

00:08:26.060 --> 00:08:28.540
 Do you undertake

00:08:28.540 --> 00:08:29.139
 to assist her

00:08:29.139 --> 00:08:30.360
 in every possible way

00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:31.519
 as she seeks

00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:32.340
 to lead a life

00:08:32.340 --> 00:08:33.379
 of devoted service

00:08:33.379 --> 00:08:34.539
 to her Lord and Saviour

00:08:34.539 --> 00:08:37.279
 Do you with God's help

00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:37.720
 undertake

00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:38.639
 not to hinder Annie

00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:39.580
 should she feel called

00:08:39.580 --> 00:08:40.279
 to serve God

00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:41.379
 in a far away place

00:08:41.379 --> 00:08:43.259
 and do you with God's help

00:08:43.259 --> 00:08:43.779
 undertake

00:08:43.779 --> 00:08:45.240
 not to complain against God

00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:47.320
 should Annie die before you

00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:50.860
 Do you, the members

00:08:50.860 --> 00:08:51.659
 of this congregation

00:08:51.659 --> 00:08:53.000
 agree to pray

00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:53.940
 for Frisco and Maria

00:08:53.940 --> 00:08:55.220
 as they raise Annie

00:08:55.220 --> 00:08:56.180
 in the Christian faith

00:08:56.180 --> 00:08:57.600
 and to support them

00:08:57.600 --> 00:08:58.200
 in their efforts

00:08:58.200 --> 00:08:59.080
 by providing her

00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:00.120
 with further examples

00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:00.759
 of obedience

00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:01.919
 and service to God

00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:03.440
 and should they neglect

00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:04.759
 their God given task

00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:06.500
 will you in all humility

00:09:06.500 --> 00:09:08.539
 rebuke and correct them

00:09:08.539 --> 00:09:09.460
 Amen

00:09:09.460 --> 00:09:10.460
 Amen

00:09:10.460 --> 00:09:20.740
 It's heavy

00:09:20.740 --> 00:09:24.259
 I'll take this off

00:09:24.259 --> 00:09:28.600
 Annie

00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:29.360
 Christopher

00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:33.540
 Annie

00:09:33.540 --> 00:09:35.000
 Christopher

00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:36.040
 Christopher

00:09:36.040 --> 00:09:37.360
 Boylecrow

00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.399
 I baptise you

00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:40.500
 in the name

00:09:40.500 --> 00:09:41.120
 of the Father

00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:42.580
 the name

00:09:42.580 --> 00:09:43.220
 of the Son

00:09:43.220 --> 00:09:44.919
 and in the name

00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:45.860
 of the Holy Spirit

00:09:45.860 --> 00:09:48.539
 May God bless you

00:09:48.539 --> 00:09:50.220
 and keep you

00:09:50.220 --> 00:09:51.860
 May God make

00:09:51.860 --> 00:09:52.360
 his face

00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:53.340
 to shine upon you

00:09:53.340 --> 00:09:54.980
 and may God

00:09:54.980 --> 00:09:56.039
 turn his countenance

00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:56.740
 towards you

00:09:56.740 --> 00:09:58.300
 and give you peace

00:09:58.300 --> 00:10:00.039
 Amen

00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.819
 and turn to Luke

00:10:02.819 --> 00:10:03.860
 chapter 6

00:10:03.860 --> 00:10:04.980
 Luke chapter 6

00:10:04.980 --> 00:10:17.439
 Luke 6

00:10:17.439 --> 00:10:18.079
 verse 12

00:10:18.079 --> 00:10:19.179
 and 26

00:10:19.179 --> 00:10:19.740
 this morning

00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:25.299
 I had the privilege

00:10:25.299 --> 00:10:26.039
 this week

00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:26.740
 of speaking at

00:10:26.740 --> 00:10:27.039
 Paul

00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:27.839
 Claree's funeral

00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:29.980
 and it was a joy

00:10:29.980 --> 00:10:31.139
 to be able to do that

00:10:31.139 --> 00:10:32.180
 and yet it was

00:10:32.180 --> 00:10:33.080
 difficult to think

00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:34.080
 of Paul

00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:36.100
 to express this

00:10:36.100 --> 00:10:36.860
 in a few words

00:10:36.860 --> 00:10:37.899
 and what he meant

00:10:37.899 --> 00:10:38.340
 to myself

00:10:38.340 --> 00:10:39.580
 and to many of you

00:10:39.580 --> 00:10:41.280
 and when you go

00:10:41.280 --> 00:10:41.660
 to a funeral

00:10:41.660 --> 00:10:42.500
 it gets you thinking

00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:43.000
 doesn't it

00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:45.740
 I wonder what people

00:10:45.740 --> 00:10:46.100
 will say

00:10:46.100 --> 00:10:46.899
 at my funeral

00:10:46.899 --> 00:10:49.540
 I wonder what

00:10:49.540 --> 00:10:49.940
 the people

00:10:49.940 --> 00:10:50.960
 will say

00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:51.680
 who give the tribute

00:10:51.680 --> 00:10:52.720
 they might say that

00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:53.639
 I want it very brief

00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:54.120
 right

00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.139
 and four hymns

00:10:56.139 --> 00:10:56.679
 that's it

00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:58.580
 done just in an hour

00:10:58.580 --> 00:11:00.720
 and I guess

00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:01.899
 we'd all like

00:11:01.899 --> 00:11:02.580
 to be people

00:11:02.580 --> 00:11:03.439
 who are funeral

00:11:03.439 --> 00:11:03.819
 people

00:11:03.819 --> 00:11:04.220
 will say

00:11:04.220 --> 00:11:05.000
 they lived well

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:06.720
 one thing

00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:07.220
 we wouldn't want

00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:07.980
 people to say

00:11:07.980 --> 00:11:09.500
 is that he

00:11:09.500 --> 00:11:10.500
 wasted his life

00:11:10.500 --> 00:11:12.240
 I'm reading a book

00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:12.860
 by John Piper

00:11:12.860 --> 00:11:13.600
 an American pastor

00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.100
 that's called

00:11:16.100 --> 00:11:17.199
 Don't Waste Your Life

00:11:17.199 --> 00:11:18.000
 and I'm going to

00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:18.460
 read you

00:11:18.460 --> 00:11:19.460
 one of the stories

00:11:19.460 --> 00:11:20.059
 that he tells

00:11:20.059 --> 00:11:20.439
 but I haven't

00:11:20.439 --> 00:11:20.740
 got the book

00:11:20.740 --> 00:11:21.120
 with me

00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:21.779
 but it's on page

00:11:21.779 --> 00:11:22.279
 45

00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:23.379
 if you want to

00:11:23.379 --> 00:11:23.659
 remember

00:11:23.659 --> 00:11:25.339
 it's about a

00:11:25.339 --> 00:11:25.879
 couple that

00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:26.879
 retire to

00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:27.339
 Florida

00:11:27.339 --> 00:11:30.120
 and they've

00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:30.719
 been in business

00:11:30.719 --> 00:11:31.339
 for years

00:11:31.339 --> 00:11:32.459
 and they retire

00:11:32.459 --> 00:11:33.019
 to Florida

00:11:33.019 --> 00:11:34.019
 and each day

00:11:34.019 --> 00:11:34.480
 they go along

00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:35.600
 the beach

00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:36.079
 in Florida

00:11:36.079 --> 00:11:37.019
 and they collect

00:11:37.019 --> 00:11:37.399
 shells

00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:39.019
 and their house

00:11:39.019 --> 00:11:39.639
 is full of

00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:40.679
 the most amazing

00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:41.379
 collection of

00:11:41.379 --> 00:11:41.579
 shells

00:11:41.579 --> 00:11:42.039
 they check out

00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:42.600
 in retirement

00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:43.439
 and that is

00:11:43.439 --> 00:11:43.860
 what they do

00:11:43.860 --> 00:11:44.299
 day in

00:11:44.299 --> 00:11:44.679
 day out

00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:45.139
 they go onto

00:11:45.139 --> 00:11:45.519
 the beach

00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:46.199
 and they look

00:11:46.199 --> 00:11:46.879
 for shells

00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:48.839
 and John Piper

00:11:48.839 --> 00:11:49.519
 shells

00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:50.659
 not shells

00:11:50.659 --> 00:11:52.519
 and John Piper

00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:53.279
 says when they

00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:54.139
 die they will

00:11:54.139 --> 00:11:55.120
 stand before God

00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:55.600
 on the day of

00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:55.899
 judgment

00:11:55.899 --> 00:11:57.419
 and God will

00:11:57.419 --> 00:11:57.839
 say what did

00:11:57.839 --> 00:11:58.179
 you do with

00:11:58.179 --> 00:11:58.699
 your life

00:11:58.699 --> 00:11:59.519
 and they will

00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:00.039
 get out

00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:00.779
 their trays

00:12:00.779 --> 00:12:01.579
 and their trays

00:12:01.579 --> 00:12:02.539
 of shells

00:12:02.539 --> 00:12:05.379
 and John Piper

00:12:05.379 --> 00:12:06.219
 says that

00:12:06.219 --> 00:12:08.000
 is a tragedy

00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.319
 I mean that is

00:12:10.319 --> 00:12:11.120
 what so many

00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:11.860
 of us want

00:12:11.860 --> 00:12:12.419
 don't we

00:12:12.419 --> 00:12:13.899
 we won't get

00:12:13.899 --> 00:12:14.500
 to the point

00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:16.159
 where we have

00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:16.699
 enough money

00:12:16.699 --> 00:12:17.360
 maybe not too

00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:17.779
 much

00:12:17.779 --> 00:12:18.500
 where we can

00:12:18.500 --> 00:12:19.779
 just take it

00:12:19.779 --> 00:12:20.039
 easy

00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:21.419
 that is the

00:12:21.419 --> 00:12:22.439
 kind of dream

00:12:22.439 --> 00:12:23.099
 of life

00:12:23.099 --> 00:12:24.259
 where we can

00:12:24.259 --> 00:12:25.039
 just relax

00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:26.399
 and take it

00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:26.719
 easy

00:12:26.719 --> 00:12:28.360
 the greatest

00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:29.379
 challenge to

00:12:29.379 --> 00:12:30.199
 the spread of

00:12:30.199 --> 00:12:30.799
 the gospel

00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:32.860
 in this country

00:12:32.860 --> 00:12:33.740
 and the good

00:12:33.740 --> 00:12:34.439
 news about the

00:12:34.439 --> 00:12:34.879
 Lord Jesus

00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:35.519
 in the western

00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:36.079
 world

00:12:36.079 --> 00:12:37.120
 is not the

00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:37.459
 kind of

00:12:37.459 --> 00:12:38.079
 bonkers

00:12:38.079 --> 00:12:39.500
 secular atheism

00:12:39.500 --> 00:12:39.939
 of somebody

00:12:39.939 --> 00:12:40.919
 like Richard Dawkins

00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:42.839
 it is not

00:12:42.839 --> 00:12:44.379
 the Islamist

00:12:44.379 --> 00:12:45.339
 extremist

00:12:45.339 --> 00:12:46.379
 radicals

00:12:46.379 --> 00:12:47.000
 that is not

00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:47.360
 the greatest

00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:47.860
 threat

00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:49.740
 it is

00:12:49.740 --> 00:12:50.300
 Christians

00:12:50.300 --> 00:12:51.700
 who live

00:12:51.700 --> 00:12:52.200
 for this

00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:52.700
 world

00:12:52.700 --> 00:12:53.940
 rather than

00:12:53.940 --> 00:12:54.440
 the next

00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.279
 it is

00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:56.800
 Christians

00:12:56.800 --> 00:12:57.759
 whose lives

00:12:57.759 --> 00:12:58.539
 look

00:12:58.539 --> 00:13:00.419
 like everybody

00:13:00.419 --> 00:13:00.919
 else

00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:02.120
 around them

00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:03.139
 it is people

00:13:03.139 --> 00:13:03.460
 who call

00:13:03.460 --> 00:13:03.779
 themselves

00:13:03.779 --> 00:13:04.139
 Christians

00:13:04.139 --> 00:13:04.620
 and yet

00:13:04.620 --> 00:13:04.840
 their

00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:05.560
 priorities

00:13:05.560 --> 00:13:06.560
 are no

00:13:06.560 --> 00:13:07.139
 different

00:13:07.139 --> 00:13:08.919
 from those

00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:09.419
 who don't

00:13:09.419 --> 00:13:10.080
 have Jesus

00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:10.580
 as Lord

00:13:10.580 --> 00:13:11.440
 that is the

00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:12.259
 greatest threat

00:13:12.259 --> 00:13:12.980
 to the spread

00:13:12.980 --> 00:13:13.500
 of the gospel

00:13:13.500 --> 00:13:13.960
 and the growth

00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:14.560
 of the church

00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:15.379
 in this

00:13:15.379 --> 00:13:15.759
 country

00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:17.439
 and that is

00:13:17.439 --> 00:13:17.819
 why when we

00:13:17.819 --> 00:13:18.319
 come to Luke

00:13:18.319 --> 00:13:18.879
 6 we've got

00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:19.419
 big problems

00:13:19.419 --> 00:13:19.799
 with it

00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:21.379
 especially when

00:13:21.379 --> 00:13:21.799
 you look down

00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:22.579
 at verses 22

00:13:22.579 --> 00:13:23.299
 and 23

00:13:23.299 --> 00:13:25.819
 blessed are you

00:13:25.819 --> 00:13:26.579
 when people

00:13:26.579 --> 00:13:27.259
 hate you

00:13:27.259 --> 00:13:29.159
 when they

00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:29.939
 exclude you

00:13:29.939 --> 00:13:30.519
 and insult

00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:30.919
 you

00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:32.500
 and reject

00:13:32.500 --> 00:13:33.119
 your name

00:13:33.119 --> 00:13:34.359
 as evil

00:13:34.359 --> 00:13:35.859
 because of

00:13:35.859 --> 00:13:36.159
 the son

00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:36.619
 of man

00:13:36.619 --> 00:13:38.579
 rejoice in

00:13:38.579 --> 00:13:39.179
 that day

00:13:39.179 --> 00:13:40.179
 and leap

00:13:40.179 --> 00:13:40.879
 for joy

00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:42.519
 because great

00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:43.339
 is your reward

00:13:43.340 --> 00:13:44.379
 in heaven

00:13:44.379 --> 00:13:46.120
 now if you

00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:46.519
 are anything

00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:46.980
 like me

00:13:46.980 --> 00:13:47.700
 verse 22

00:13:47.700 --> 00:13:48.280
 does not

00:13:48.280 --> 00:13:48.740
 sound like

00:13:48.740 --> 00:13:49.139
 blessing

00:13:49.139 --> 00:13:49.680
 does it

00:13:49.680 --> 00:13:51.399
 sounds like

00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:51.780
 a nightmare

00:13:51.780 --> 00:13:53.759
 and if we're

00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:54.040
 going to

00:13:54.040 --> 00:13:54.759
 understand

00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:56.320
 why this

00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:56.860
 is the life

00:13:56.860 --> 00:13:57.379
 that all

00:13:57.379 --> 00:13:57.620
 of us

00:13:57.620 --> 00:13:58.340
 should desire

00:13:58.340 --> 00:13:59.160
 well we

00:13:59.160 --> 00:13:59.759
 need to see

00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:00.379
 first of all

00:14:00.379 --> 00:14:00.879
 that we are

00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:01.680
 an ordinary

00:14:01.680 --> 00:14:02.200
 people

00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:03.420
 we are

00:14:03.420 --> 00:14:03.960
 ordinary

00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:04.560
 people

00:14:04.560 --> 00:14:06.360
 now at the

00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:06.720
 beginning of

00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:07.259
 this passage

00:14:07.259 --> 00:14:08.320
 the Pharisees

00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:08.740
 the Jewish

00:14:08.740 --> 00:14:09.420
 leaders

00:14:09.420 --> 00:14:11.420
 have been

00:14:11.420 --> 00:14:12.519
 told that

00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:13.080
 Jesus has

00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:13.420
 come to

00:14:13.420 --> 00:14:13.639
 do a

00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:13.860
 new

00:14:13.860 --> 00:14:14.300
 thing

00:14:14.300 --> 00:14:15.560
 they

00:14:15.560 --> 00:14:16.240
 can't

00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:16.860
 squeeze

00:14:16.860 --> 00:14:17.300
 Jesus

00:14:17.300 --> 00:14:17.639
 into

00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:17.879
 their

00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:18.820
 legalistic

00:14:18.820 --> 00:14:19.520
 understanding

00:14:19.520 --> 00:14:19.920
 of the

00:14:19.920 --> 00:14:20.460
 Old Testament

00:14:20.460 --> 00:14:20.820
 law

00:14:20.820 --> 00:14:21.440
 he has

00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:21.920
 come to

00:14:21.920 --> 00:14:22.300
 create

00:14:22.300 --> 00:14:22.580
 a new

00:14:22.580 --> 00:14:22.840
 people

00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:23.500
 of God

00:14:23.500 --> 00:14:24.580
 and look

00:14:24.580 --> 00:14:24.940
 what happens

00:14:24.940 --> 00:14:25.280
 in verse

00:14:25.280 --> 00:14:26.060
 12

00:14:26.060 --> 00:14:27.420
 do you see

00:14:27.420 --> 00:14:27.660
 what they

00:14:27.660 --> 00:14:28.080
 say

00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:30.240
 well do you

00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:30.460
 see what

00:14:30.460 --> 00:14:31.060
 Jesus does

00:14:31.060 --> 00:14:33.139
 one of those

00:14:33.139 --> 00:14:33.660
 days Jesus

00:14:33.660 --> 00:14:34.259
 went out to a

00:14:34.259 --> 00:14:34.680
 mountainside

00:14:34.680 --> 00:14:35.080
 to pray

00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:35.879
 and spent

00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:36.300
 the night

00:14:36.300 --> 00:14:36.960
 praying to

00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:37.520
 God

00:14:37.520 --> 00:14:38.120
 so it seems

00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:38.879
 Jesus is far

00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:39.240
 more into

00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:40.500
 24-7

00:14:40.500 --> 00:14:41.020
 prayer than

00:14:41.020 --> 00:14:41.480
 I have

00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.399
 whenever

00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:43.820
 there is a

00:14:43.820 --> 00:14:44.620
 big step

00:14:44.620 --> 00:14:45.200
 forward

00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:46.159
 for Jesus

00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:46.539
 in his

00:14:46.539 --> 00:14:46.920
 mission

00:14:46.920 --> 00:14:48.360
 he talks

00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:48.639
 to his

00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:48.940
 father

00:14:48.940 --> 00:14:49.220
 about

00:14:49.220 --> 00:14:49.620
 heaven

00:14:49.620 --> 00:14:50.720
 he prays

00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:51.019
 and he

00:14:51.019 --> 00:14:51.399
 spent the

00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:51.899
 whole night

00:14:51.899 --> 00:14:52.500
 in prayer

00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:53.240
 and verse

00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:53.940
 17

00:14:53.940 --> 00:14:55.920
 when morning

00:14:55.920 --> 00:14:56.240
 comes

00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:56.399
 sorry

00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:57.139
 verse 13

00:14:57.139 --> 00:14:57.700
 when morning

00:14:57.700 --> 00:14:58.019
 comes

00:14:58.019 --> 00:14:58.399
 he calls

00:14:58.399 --> 00:14:59.060
 his disciples

00:14:59.060 --> 00:15:00.840
 the 12

00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:01.259
 of them

00:15:01.259 --> 00:15:02.019
 whom he

00:15:02.019 --> 00:15:02.560
 designated

00:15:02.560 --> 00:15:03.220
 apostles

00:15:03.220 --> 00:15:03.899
 now if we

00:15:03.899 --> 00:15:04.620
 were Jews

00:15:04.620 --> 00:15:05.800
 our hearts

00:15:05.800 --> 00:15:06.039
 would be

00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:06.539
 racing at

00:15:06.539 --> 00:15:07.159
 this stage

00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:08.240
 we would

00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:08.600
 be singing

00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:09.240
 12

00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:10.439
 that's like

00:15:10.439 --> 00:15:10.759
 the 12

00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:11.199
 tribes of

00:15:11.199 --> 00:15:11.480
 Israel

00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:11.980
 isn't it

00:15:11.980 --> 00:15:12.740
 that is

00:15:12.740 --> 00:15:13.459
 the people

00:15:13.459 --> 00:15:13.879
 who went

00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:14.219
 up to

00:15:14.219 --> 00:15:14.699
 make up

00:15:14.699 --> 00:15:15.079
 the people

00:15:15.079 --> 00:15:15.480
 of God

00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:15.819
 and now

00:15:15.819 --> 00:15:16.399
 Jesus is

00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:16.740
 choosing

00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:17.639
 12 new

00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:18.059
 leaders

00:15:18.059 --> 00:15:18.839
 and they

00:15:18.839 --> 00:15:19.179
 are going

00:15:19.179 --> 00:15:19.339
 to be

00:15:19.339 --> 00:15:19.939
 the witnesses

00:15:19.939 --> 00:15:19.980
!

00:15:19.980 --> 00:15:21.620
 the foundation

00:15:21.620 --> 00:15:22.159
 of the new

00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:22.659
 people of

00:15:22.659 --> 00:15:23.079
 God

00:15:23.079 --> 00:15:23.679
 is going

00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:23.879
 to be

00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:24.139
 built

00:15:24.139 --> 00:15:24.939
 the church

00:15:24.939 --> 00:15:26.559
 those people

00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:26.759
 who have

00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:27.600
 trusted Jesus

00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:28.219
 in history

00:15:28.219 --> 00:15:28.519
 who have

00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:29.100
 seen him

00:15:29.100 --> 00:15:30.000
 and the church

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:30.319
 is going

00:15:30.319 --> 00:15:31.220
 to be built

00:15:31.220 --> 00:15:32.439
 on that

00:15:32.439 --> 00:15:33.000
 foundation

00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:34.799
 so you

00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:35.339
 would expect

00:15:35.339 --> 00:15:35.659
 them wouldn't

00:15:35.659 --> 00:15:36.059
 you to have

00:15:36.059 --> 00:15:37.059
 a great CV

00:15:37.059 --> 00:15:39.079
 you would

00:15:39.079 --> 00:15:39.579
 expect them

00:15:39.579 --> 00:15:40.119
 to be very

00:15:40.119 --> 00:15:40.619
 impressive

00:15:40.619 --> 00:15:40.979
 you would

00:15:40.979 --> 00:15:41.419
 expect them

00:15:41.419 --> 00:15:42.000
 to be leaders

00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:42.559
 of the day

00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:43.319
 to be high

00:15:43.319 --> 00:15:43.879
 achievers

00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:45.019
 you'd expect

00:15:45.019 --> 00:15:46.179
 well you'd

00:15:46.179 --> 00:15:46.699
 expect people

00:15:46.699 --> 00:15:47.119
 to be able

00:15:47.119 --> 00:15:47.919
 to mean

00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:48.539
 them all

00:15:48.539 --> 00:15:50.000
 so let's

00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:50.359
 do that

00:15:50.359 --> 00:15:52.539
 if the elders

00:15:52.539 --> 00:15:53.399
 and the deacons

00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:54.359
 would look up

00:15:54.359 --> 00:15:55.699
 and not look

00:15:55.699 --> 00:15:56.159
 down

00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:57.259
 and let's

00:15:57.259 --> 00:15:58.319
 test the elders

00:15:58.319 --> 00:15:59.000
 and the deacons

00:15:59.000 --> 00:15:59.439
 alright

00:15:59.439 --> 00:16:00.359
 no looking down

00:16:00.359 --> 00:16:01.399
 alright I can

00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:01.719
 see you

00:16:01.719 --> 00:16:02.399
 so let's

00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:02.859
 shout out

00:16:02.859 --> 00:16:03.659
 elders and

00:16:03.659 --> 00:16:03.859
 deacons

00:16:03.859 --> 00:16:04.159
 in the middle

00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:04.559
 of the 12

00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:05.159
 disciples

00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:06.199
 Bartholomew

00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:07.160
 Bartholomew

00:16:07.160 --> 00:16:07.660
 well done

00:16:07.660 --> 00:16:08.040
 keep your

00:16:08.040 --> 00:16:08.320
 head up

00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:08.520
 Chris

00:16:08.520 --> 00:16:08.960
 Craddock

00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:10.720
 pardon

00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:11.980
 Matthew

00:16:11.980 --> 00:16:13.480
 Andrew

00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:15.420
 pardon

00:16:15.420 --> 00:16:16.879
 John

00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:17.560
 Judas

00:16:17.560 --> 00:16:18.580
 come on elders

00:16:18.580 --> 00:16:19.060
 there's only one

00:16:19.060 --> 00:16:19.420
 set only

00:16:19.420 --> 00:16:20.440
 Peter

00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:22.420
 Philip

00:16:22.420 --> 00:16:22.980
 James

00:16:22.980 --> 00:16:25.040
 John

00:16:25.040 --> 00:16:27.840
 we've done

00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:28.120
 another

00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:28.980
 Thomas

00:16:28.980 --> 00:16:31.180
 Judas

00:16:31.180 --> 00:16:32.379
 Judas

00:16:32.379 --> 00:16:33.280
 we're at 11

00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:34.399
 Peter

00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:33.740
 are we

00:16:33.740 --> 00:16:34.740
 yes

00:16:34.740 --> 00:16:35.059
 you see

00:16:35.059 --> 00:16:35.360
 they just

00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:35.720
 trip off

00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:36.079
 the tongue

00:16:36.079 --> 00:16:36.459
 don't they

00:16:36.459 --> 00:16:37.459
 we all

00:16:37.459 --> 00:16:37.959
 know them

00:16:37.959 --> 00:16:38.360
 we can't

00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:38.959
 help ourselves

00:16:38.959 --> 00:16:39.819
 but the point

00:16:39.819 --> 00:16:40.379
 is this

00:16:40.379 --> 00:16:42.379
 they are very

00:16:42.379 --> 00:16:43.679
 very ordinary

00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:44.139
 people

00:16:44.139 --> 00:16:46.079
 and in fact

00:16:46.079 --> 00:16:46.600
 they are so

00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:47.039
 ordinary

00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:48.279
 that actually

00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:48.939
 we can't remember

00:16:48.939 --> 00:16:49.399
 the names of

00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:49.639
 them all

00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:49.919
 can we

00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:51.799
 the only one

00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:52.100
 that we've

00:16:52.100 --> 00:16:52.659
 heard much of

00:16:52.659 --> 00:16:53.139
 in Luke's

00:16:53.139 --> 00:16:53.539
 gospel

00:16:53.539 --> 00:16:54.579
 is Simon

00:16:54.579 --> 00:16:55.059
 and now he's

00:16:55.059 --> 00:16:55.620
 had his name

00:16:55.620 --> 00:16:56.120
 changed to

00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:56.459
 Peter

00:16:56.459 --> 00:16:58.480
 and so we

00:16:58.480 --> 00:16:58.899
 saw that he

00:16:58.899 --> 00:16:59.559
 was a fisherman

00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:00.500
 and he was

00:17:00.500 --> 00:17:00.919
 convinced

00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:01.319
 wasn't he

00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:01.680
 that he

00:17:01.680 --> 00:17:02.500
 wasn't worthy

00:17:02.500 --> 00:17:02.960
 to follow

00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:03.280
 Jesus

00:17:03.280 --> 00:17:03.720
 so look at

00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:04.420
 Luke chapter 5

00:17:04.420 --> 00:17:05.019
 verse 8

00:17:05.019 --> 00:17:06.039
 when he meets

00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:32.780
 the disciples

00:17:32.780 --> 00:17:33.260

00:17:35.420 --> 00:17:36.260
 they are not

00:17:36.260 --> 00:17:36.920

00:17:43.760 --> 00:17:44.780
 ordinary men

00:17:44.780 --> 00:17:45.720

00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:09.059
 would drive

00:18:09.059 --> 00:18:09.559
 along the

 to death

00:19:39.259 --> 00:19:39.879
 on a cross

00:19:39.879 --> 00:19:41.559
 that death

00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:42.059
 that he had

00:19:42.059 --> 00:19:42.519
 to die

00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:42.839
 in our

00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:43.119
 place

00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:43.399
 so he

00:19:43.399 --> 00:19:43.719
 could make

00:19:43.719 --> 00:19:44.259
 us worthy

00:19:44.259 --> 00:19:44.739
 to be his

00:19:44.739 --> 00:19:45.059
 followers

00:19:45.059 --> 00:19:46.259
 by taking

00:19:46.259 --> 00:19:46.659
 his sin

00:19:46.659 --> 00:19:47.539
 upon ourselves

00:19:47.539 --> 00:19:48.199
 and if

00:19:48.199 --> 00:19:48.619
 you're a

00:19:48.619 --> 00:19:48.979
 Christian

00:19:48.979 --> 00:19:49.859
 this morning

00:19:49.859 --> 00:19:51.739
 at the

00:19:51.739 --> 00:19:52.259
 heart of

00:19:52.259 --> 00:19:52.479
 King

00:19:52.479 --> 00:19:52.859
 Jesus

00:19:52.859 --> 00:19:53.379
 people

00:19:53.379 --> 00:19:54.279
 are some

00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:54.959
 very

00:19:54.959 --> 00:19:55.679
 very

00:19:55.679 --> 00:19:56.639
 ordinary

00:19:56.639 --> 00:19:57.339
 men and

00:19:57.339 --> 00:19:57.579
 women

00:19:57.579 --> 00:19:59.480
 and if

00:19:59.480 --> 00:19:59.720
 you're not

00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:00.059
 a Christian

00:20:00.059 --> 00:20:00.519
 if you

00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:01.019
 feel

00:20:01.019 --> 00:20:01.659
 ordinary

00:20:01.659 --> 00:20:02.619
 or maybe

00:20:02.619 --> 00:20:03.619
 you feel

00:20:03.619 --> 00:20:04.339
 worse than

00:20:04.339 --> 00:20:04.759
 ordinary

00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:05.659
 then you

00:20:05.659 --> 00:20:06.220
 are just

00:20:06.220 --> 00:20:06.639
 the sort

00:20:06.639 --> 00:20:07.059
 of person

00:20:07.059 --> 00:20:07.439
 Jesus

00:20:07.439 --> 00:20:07.879
 wants

00:20:07.879 --> 00:20:10.220
 in fact

00:20:10.220 --> 00:20:10.879
 Paul tells

00:20:10.879 --> 00:20:11.299
 the church

00:20:11.299 --> 00:20:11.879
 in Corinth

00:20:11.879 --> 00:20:12.599
 these words

00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:13.480
 that God

00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:14.119
 chose the

00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:14.639
 foolish

00:20:14.639 --> 00:20:15.259
 things

00:20:15.259 --> 00:20:16.579
 of the

00:20:16.579 --> 00:20:16.759
 world

00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:17.059
 to shame

00:20:17.059 --> 00:20:17.699
 the wise

00:20:17.699 --> 00:20:18.919
 and God

00:20:18.919 --> 00:20:19.359
 chose

00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:20.139
 the weak

00:20:20.139 --> 00:20:20.779
 things

00:20:20.779 --> 00:20:21.279
 of the

00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:21.720
 world

00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:22.500
 to shame

00:20:22.500 --> 00:20:23.119
 the strong

00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:24.500
 and God

00:20:24.500 --> 00:20:24.839
 chose

00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:25.579
 the lowly

00:20:25.579 --> 00:20:26.039
 things

00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:26.740
 and the

00:20:26.740 --> 00:20:27.519
 despised

00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:28.139
 things

00:20:28.139 --> 00:20:30.000
 and the

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:30.319
 things

00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:30.740
 that are

00:20:30.740 --> 00:20:31.400
 not

00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:32.779
 to nullify

00:20:32.779 --> 00:20:33.200
 the things

00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:33.639
 that are

00:20:33.639 --> 00:20:34.480
 so that

00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:35.000
 no one

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:35.420
 may boast

00:20:35.420 --> 00:20:36.059
 before him

00:20:36.059 --> 00:20:37.799
 God

00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:38.259
 chooses

00:20:38.259 --> 00:20:38.940
 ordinary

00:20:38.940 --> 00:20:39.500
 people

00:20:39.500 --> 00:20:40.579
 so that

00:20:40.579 --> 00:20:40.960
 there is

00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:41.779
 no doubt

00:20:41.779 --> 00:20:42.160
 is there

00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:42.559
 who is

00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:43.059
 responsible

00:20:43.059 --> 00:20:43.539
 for our

00:20:43.539 --> 00:20:44.059
 salvation

00:20:44.059 --> 00:20:44.619
 and that

00:20:44.619 --> 00:20:45.139
 is him

00:20:45.139 --> 00:20:48.940
 if you're

00:20:48.940 --> 00:20:49.180
 not a

00:20:49.180 --> 00:20:49.440
 Christian

00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:49.740
 and you're

00:20:49.740 --> 00:20:50.039
 here this

00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:50.220
 morning

00:20:50.220 --> 00:20:50.480
 you've

00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:50.759
 probably

00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:51.139
 been told

00:20:51.139 --> 00:20:51.519
 all of

00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:51.859
 your life

00:20:51.859 --> 00:20:52.059
 you've

00:20:52.059 --> 00:20:52.220
 got to

00:20:52.220 --> 00:20:52.379
 be

00:20:52.379 --> 00:20:52.819
 someone

00:20:52.819 --> 00:20:54.899
 I was

00:20:54.899 --> 00:20:55.299
 reading this

00:20:55.299 --> 00:20:55.519
 week

00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:55.859
 of the

00:20:55.859 --> 00:20:56.220
 huge

00:20:56.220 --> 00:20:56.619
 pressure

00:20:56.619 --> 00:20:56.879
 that's

00:20:56.879 --> 00:20:56.980
 on

00:20:56.980 --> 00:20:57.339
 Chinese

00:20:57.339 --> 00:20:57.879
 students

00:20:57.879 --> 00:20:58.179
 who come

00:20:58.179 --> 00:20:58.419
 to the

00:20:58.419 --> 00:20:58.679
 UK

00:20:58.679 --> 00:21:00.700
 they've

00:21:00.700 --> 00:21:00.939
 come to

00:21:00.939 --> 00:21:01.099
 this

00:21:01.099 --> 00:21:01.419
 country

00:21:01.419 --> 00:21:01.779
 and they're

00:21:01.779 --> 00:21:01.960
 under

00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:02.500
 enormous

00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:03.059
 pressure

00:21:03.059 --> 00:21:03.639
 because

00:21:03.639 --> 00:21:03.899
 they've

00:21:03.899 --> 00:21:04.159
 got to

00:21:04.159 --> 00:21:05.159
 achieve

00:21:05.159 --> 00:21:05.759
 the degree

00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:06.079
 that their

00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:06.939
 parents want

00:21:06.939 --> 00:21:08.519
 they've

00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:08.720
 got to

00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:09.039
 achieve

00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:09.419
 the right

00:21:09.419 --> 00:21:09.740
 degree

00:21:09.740 --> 00:21:10.179
 to get

00:21:10.179 --> 00:21:10.859
 the job

00:21:10.859 --> 00:21:11.899
 that they

00:21:11.899 --> 00:21:12.299
 want to

00:21:12.299 --> 00:21:12.700
 get

00:21:12.700 --> 00:21:14.599
 and maybe

00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:14.939
 you feel

00:21:14.939 --> 00:21:15.299
 you need

00:21:15.299 --> 00:21:15.519
 to be

00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:15.980
 admired

00:21:15.980 --> 00:21:17.180
 and you

00:21:17.180 --> 00:21:17.500
 need to

00:21:17.500 --> 00:21:17.860
 be somebody

00:21:17.860 --> 00:21:18.539
 who earns

00:21:18.539 --> 00:21:19.019
 your way

00:21:19.019 --> 00:21:19.500
 you pay

00:21:19.500 --> 00:21:19.980
 your way

00:21:19.980 --> 00:21:20.480
 in life

00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:21.160
 can I say

00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:21.460
 that will

00:21:21.460 --> 00:21:22.120
 never work

00:21:22.120 --> 00:21:22.519
 with God

00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:22.880
 will it

00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:24.799
 to be

00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:25.180
 one of

00:21:25.180 --> 00:21:25.819
 his people

00:21:25.819 --> 00:21:26.559
 you've

00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:26.740
 got to

00:21:26.740 --> 00:21:27.140
 recognise

00:21:27.140 --> 00:21:27.620
 that you

00:21:27.620 --> 00:21:28.240
 are very

00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:28.799
 very

00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:30.140
 ordinary

00:21:30.140 --> 00:21:32.380
 and that

00:21:32.380 --> 00:21:32.700
 you cannot

00:21:32.700 --> 00:21:33.259
 do anything

00:21:33.259 --> 00:21:33.579
 to win

00:21:33.579 --> 00:21:34.140
 God's love

00:21:34.140 --> 00:21:35.940
 and you

00:21:35.940 --> 00:21:36.380
 fail to

00:21:36.380 --> 00:21:36.700
 keep his

00:21:36.700 --> 00:21:37.039
 standards

00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:37.400
 and in

00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:37.720
 fact you

00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:38.000
 deserve

00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:38.160
 his

00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:38.500
 punishment

00:21:38.500 --> 00:21:39.960
 in the

00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:40.400
 game of

00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:40.799
 life

00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:41.460
 you're not

00:21:41.460 --> 00:21:41.839
 just a

00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:42.160
 learner

00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:43.720
 you're a

00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:44.019
 loser

00:21:44.019 --> 00:21:45.360
 and so am

00:21:45.360 --> 00:21:45.640
 I

00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:47.680
 but he

00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:48.540
 will freely

00:21:48.540 --> 00:21:49.120
 give you

00:21:49.120 --> 00:21:49.680
 his love

00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:51.460
 if you

00:21:51.460 --> 00:21:51.780
 come to

00:21:51.780 --> 00:21:52.220
 Jesus

00:21:52.220 --> 00:21:54.620
 and that

00:21:54.620 --> 00:21:54.960
 is the

00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:55.320
 only

00:21:55.320 --> 00:21:55.980
 sensible

00:21:55.980 --> 00:21:56.400

00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:56.520
 of

00:21:56.520 --> 00:21:56.860
 action

00:21:56.860 --> 00:21:58.520
 we are

00:21:58.520 --> 00:21:58.640
 an

00:21:58.640 --> 00:21:58.920
 ordinary

00:21:59.420 --> 00:22:00.680
 secondly

00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:01.080
 we are

00:22:01.080 --> 00:22:01.360
 called

00:22:01.360 --> 00:22:01.680
 by a

00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:01.920
 powerful

00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:02.280
 king

00:22:02.280 --> 00:22:03.380
 we are

00:22:03.380 --> 00:22:03.740
 called

00:22:03.740 --> 00:22:04.259
 by a

00:22:04.259 --> 00:22:04.580
 powerful

00:22:04.580 --> 00:22:04.940
 king

00:22:04.940 --> 00:22:05.320
 look down

00:22:05.320 --> 00:22:05.620

 verse 17

00:22:07.900 --> 00:22:09.600
 he went

00:22:09.600 --> 00:22:10.020
 down with

00:22:10.020 --> 00:22:10.200
 them

00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:11.160
 and stood

00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:11.460
 in a

00:22:11.460 --> 00:22:11.759
 level

00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:12.060
 place

00:22:12.060 --> 00:22:12.280
 you can

00:22:12.280 --> 00:22:12.520
 have a

 fascinating

00:22:13.040 --> 00:22:13.540
 discussion

00:22:13.540 --> 00:22:14.060
 on this

00:22:14.059 --> 00:22:15.839
 for those

00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:16.079
 who would

00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:16.480
 like to

00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:17.079
 whether

00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:17.759
 Luke is

00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:18.419
 giving an

00:22:18.419 --> 00:22:19.319
 abbreviated

00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:19.859
 version of

00:22:19.859 --> 00:22:20.099
 the sermon

00:22:20.099 --> 00:22:20.339
 on the

00:22:20.339 --> 00:22:20.619
 mount

00:22:20.619 --> 00:22:21.819
 from chapter

00:22:21.819 --> 00:22:22.319
 5 to

00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:22.940
 chapter 7

00:22:22.940 --> 00:22:24.279
 whether the

00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:25.220
 word level

00:22:25.220 --> 00:22:26.419
 place means

00:22:26.419 --> 00:22:27.019
 plain at the

00:22:27.019 --> 00:22:27.440
 bottom of a

00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:27.740
 hill

00:22:27.740 --> 00:22:28.720
 or like a

00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:29.079
 plateau

00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:30.379
 halfway up a

00:22:30.379 --> 00:22:30.619
 hill

00:22:30.619 --> 00:22:31.359
 or whether

00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:32.179
 Jesus is

00:22:32.179 --> 00:22:32.599
 giving a

00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:33.440
 totally different

00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:33.940
 sermon on a

00:22:33.940 --> 00:22:34.579
 different occasion

00:22:34.579 --> 00:22:36.019
 but who cares

00:22:36.019 --> 00:22:36.500
 frankly

00:22:36.500 --> 00:22:38.500
 because God's

00:22:38.500 --> 00:22:39.139
 spirit has

00:22:39.139 --> 00:22:40.460
 caused this

00:22:40.460 --> 00:22:41.099
 to be written

00:22:41.099 --> 00:22:42.559
 and as we

00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:43.059
 look at this

00:22:43.059 --> 00:22:43.719
 passage our

00:22:43.719 --> 00:22:44.559
 focus first

00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:45.480
 and foremost

00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:46.599
 is not on

00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:47.439
 when these

00:22:47.439 --> 00:22:47.839
 words were

00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:48.240
 spoken

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:49.359
 and not on

00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:50.079
 where these

00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:50.480
 words were

00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:50.839
 spoken

00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:51.519
 but on

00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:51.919
 what was

00:22:51.919 --> 00:22:52.359
 spoken

00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:53.359
 and on

00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:53.579
 the one

00:22:53.579 --> 00:22:53.779
 who was

00:22:53.779 --> 00:22:54.099
 speaking

00:22:54.099 --> 00:22:55.539
 so look

00:22:55.539 --> 00:22:55.759
 what he

00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:56.119
 says

00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:56.500
 look at

00:22:56.500 --> 00:22:57.500
 verse 17

00:22:57.500 --> 00:22:58.179
 he went

00:22:58.179 --> 00:22:58.480
 down with

00:22:58.480 --> 00:22:58.819
 them and

00:22:58.819 --> 00:22:59.179
 stood at a

00:22:59.179 --> 00:22:59.379
 level

00:22:59.379 --> 00:22:59.919
 place and a

00:22:59.919 --> 00:23:00.500
 large crowd

00:23:00.500 --> 00:23:00.699
 of his

00:23:00.699 --> 00:23:01.259
 disciples were

00:23:01.259 --> 00:23:01.619
 there

00:23:01.619 --> 00:23:04.679
 and where

00:23:04.679 --> 00:23:04.879
 were they

00:23:04.879 --> 00:23:05.179
 from?

00:23:05.259 --> 00:23:05.439
 Well they

00:23:05.439 --> 00:23:05.659
 were from

00:23:05.659 --> 00:23:06.019
 all over

00:23:06.019 --> 00:23:06.419
 Judea

00:23:06.419 --> 00:23:06.939
 from Jerusalem

00:23:06.939 --> 00:23:07.240
 and from

00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:07.759
 the coast

00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:08.219
 of Tyre

00:23:08.219 --> 00:23:08.879
 and Sidon

00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:10.440
 do you see

00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:11.260
 what Luke

00:23:11.260 --> 00:23:11.980
 is emphasising

00:23:11.980 --> 00:23:12.300
 it's a

00:23:12.300 --> 00:23:13.000
 large crowd

00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:13.960
 there's a

00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:14.580
 great number

00:23:14.580 --> 00:23:14.980
 of people

00:23:14.980 --> 00:23:15.980
 clearly

00:23:15.980 --> 00:23:17.740
 Jesus has

00:23:17.740 --> 00:23:18.000
 got some

00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:18.660
 quite impressive

00:23:18.660 --> 00:23:19.300
 pulling power

00:23:19.300 --> 00:23:19.740
 hasn't he?

00:23:20.940 --> 00:23:21.600
 Even people

00:23:21.600 --> 00:23:22.140
 from Tyre

00:23:22.140 --> 00:23:22.700
 and Sidon

00:23:22.700 --> 00:23:23.080
 were there

00:23:23.080 --> 00:23:23.920
 why is that

00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:24.400
 significant?

00:23:25.600 --> 00:23:26.000
 Well because

00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:26.320
 they were the

00:23:26.320 --> 00:23:27.240
 two arch enemies

00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:27.900
 of God's

00:23:27.900 --> 00:23:28.280
 people

00:23:28.280 --> 00:23:28.660
 Israel

00:23:28.660 --> 00:23:30.180
 the point

00:23:30.180 --> 00:23:30.640
 is this

00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:31.340
 there is

00:23:31.340 --> 00:23:32.140
 no one

00:23:32.140 --> 00:23:32.560
 who is

00:23:32.560 --> 00:23:33.460
 excluded

00:23:33.460 --> 00:23:34.460
 from coming

00:23:34.460 --> 00:23:34.980
 into God's

00:23:34.980 --> 00:23:35.280
 people

00:23:35.280 --> 00:23:36.860
 and when

00:23:36.860 --> 00:23:37.400
 they come

00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:37.840
 they find

00:23:37.840 --> 00:23:38.120
 a king

00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:38.839
 of huge

00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:39.259
 power

00:23:39.259 --> 00:23:39.679
 look what

00:23:39.679 --> 00:23:39.939
 happens

00:23:39.939 --> 00:23:40.179
 in verse

00:23:40.179 --> 00:23:40.619
 18

00:23:40.619 --> 00:23:43.039
 they come

00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:43.359
 to cure

00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:43.599
 him

00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:44.219
 and to be

00:23:44.219 --> 00:23:44.439
 healed

00:23:44.439 --> 00:23:44.679
 of their

00:23:44.679 --> 00:23:45.039
 diseases

00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:45.939
 those troubled

00:23:45.939 --> 00:23:46.359
 by evil

00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:46.719
 spirits

00:23:46.719 --> 00:23:47.139
 were cured

00:23:47.139 --> 00:23:47.959
 and the

00:23:47.959 --> 00:23:48.219
 people

00:23:48.219 --> 00:23:48.879
 all

00:23:48.879 --> 00:23:49.379
 tried to

00:23:49.379 --> 00:23:49.759
 touch him

00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:51.199
 because

00:23:51.199 --> 00:23:51.719
 power was

00:23:51.719 --> 00:23:52.139
 coming from

00:23:52.139 --> 00:23:52.259
 him

00:23:52.259 --> 00:23:52.679
 and healing

00:23:52.679 --> 00:23:52.959
 them

00:23:52.959 --> 00:23:53.719
 all

00:23:53.719 --> 00:23:54.839
 do you see

00:23:54.839 --> 00:23:55.039
 that?

00:23:55.199 --> 00:23:55.699
 All tried

00:23:55.699 --> 00:23:56.079
 to touch

00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:56.339
 him

00:23:56.339 --> 00:23:57.000
 healing

00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:57.339
 from them

00:23:57.339 --> 00:23:57.579
 all

00:23:57.579 --> 00:23:58.219
 Jesus

00:23:58.219 --> 00:23:58.839
 is so

00:23:58.839 --> 00:23:59.939
 awesome

00:23:59.939 --> 00:24:02.239
 that a

00:24:02.239 --> 00:24:02.779
 touch of

00:24:02.779 --> 00:24:03.079
 faith

00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:03.699
 smashes

00:24:03.699 --> 00:24:04.179
 evil

00:24:04.179 --> 00:24:06.500
 it gives

00:24:06.500 --> 00:24:07.119
 sick bodies

00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:07.619
 health

00:24:07.619 --> 00:24:09.479
 and the

00:24:09.479 --> 00:24:10.000
 message is

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:10.299
 clear

00:24:10.299 --> 00:24:11.899
 this is

00:24:11.899 --> 00:24:12.319
 God on

00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:12.839
 earth

00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:14.939
 restoring

00:24:14.939 --> 00:24:16.359
 a sin

00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:17.119
 ravaged

00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:17.859
 creation

00:24:17.859 --> 00:24:19.919
 during this

00:24:19.919 --> 00:24:20.159
 life

00:24:20.159 --> 00:24:20.839
 Jesus acts

00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:21.159
 as a

00:24:21.159 --> 00:24:21.619
 trailer

00:24:21.619 --> 00:24:23.299
 showing what

00:24:23.299 --> 00:24:23.839
 his perfect

00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:24.279
 kingdom would

00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:24.739
 be like

00:24:24.739 --> 00:24:25.979
 so you go

00:24:25.979 --> 00:24:26.439
 to the cinema

00:24:26.439 --> 00:24:27.019
 don't you

00:24:27.019 --> 00:24:27.919
 and you look

00:24:27.919 --> 00:24:28.519
 at the trailers

00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:30.059
 and it shows

00:24:30.059 --> 00:24:30.959
 you all the

00:24:30.959 --> 00:24:31.479
 best bits

00:24:31.479 --> 00:24:31.479


00:24:31.479 --> 00:24:32.239
 in fact

00:24:32.239 --> 00:24:32.819
 the only

00:24:32.819 --> 00:24:33.379
 good bits

00:24:33.379 --> 00:24:33.759
 of the film

00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:34.179
 is often

00:24:34.180 --> 00:24:34.960
 and you

00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:35.519
 turn to

00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:35.840
 the person

00:24:35.840 --> 00:24:36.440
 sitting next

00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:36.660
 to you

00:24:36.660 --> 00:24:37.160
 afterwards

00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:37.820
 and you

00:24:37.820 --> 00:24:38.200
 either give

00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:38.880
 a nod

00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:39.240
 or you

00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:39.539
 give a

00:24:39.539 --> 00:24:39.940
 no I

00:24:39.940 --> 00:24:40.160
 don't want

00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:40.279
 to go

00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:40.519
 to see

00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:40.720
 that

00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:41.039
 that is

00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:41.400
 what happens

00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:41.580
 to us

00:24:41.580 --> 00:24:41.860
 all

00:24:41.860 --> 00:24:43.340
 the trailer

00:24:43.340 --> 00:24:43.920
 is supposed

00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:44.460
 to show

00:24:44.460 --> 00:24:45.320
 us what

00:24:45.320 --> 00:24:45.700
 the film

00:24:45.700 --> 00:24:46.180
 is like

00:24:46.180 --> 00:24:46.840
 it's supposed

00:24:46.840 --> 00:24:47.259
 to whet the

00:24:47.259 --> 00:24:47.620
 appetite

00:24:47.620 --> 00:24:48.039
 it's an

00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:48.580
 advertisement

00:24:48.579 --> 00:24:51.879
 and the

00:24:51.879 --> 00:24:52.460
 idea is

00:24:52.460 --> 00:24:52.679
 that you

00:24:52.679 --> 00:24:53.059
 see the

00:24:53.059 --> 00:24:53.220
 trailer

00:24:53.220 --> 00:24:53.419
 and think

00:24:53.419 --> 00:24:53.679
 that's

00:24:53.679 --> 00:24:54.220
 fantastic

00:24:54.220 --> 00:24:54.519
 I'm going

00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:54.639
 to go

00:24:54.639 --> 00:24:54.859
 to the

00:24:54.859 --> 00:24:55.139
 film

00:24:55.139 --> 00:24:56.460
 and when

00:24:56.460 --> 00:24:56.819
 Jesus

00:24:56.819 --> 00:24:57.419
 walks the

00:24:57.419 --> 00:24:57.759
 earth

00:24:57.759 --> 00:24:58.460
 Jesus

00:24:58.460 --> 00:24:59.139
 shows you

00:24:59.139 --> 00:24:59.399
 and I

00:24:59.399 --> 00:25:00.240
 how wonderful

00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:00.599
 the new

00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:00.899
 creation

00:25:00.899 --> 00:25:01.199
 is going

00:25:01.199 --> 00:25:01.619
 to be

00:25:01.619 --> 00:25:04.220
 when he

00:25:04.220 --> 00:25:04.799
 will return

00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:06.299
 and he

00:25:06.299 --> 00:25:06.679
 will judge

00:25:06.679 --> 00:25:07.119
 this world

00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:07.500
 and he

00:25:07.500 --> 00:25:07.960
 will rid

00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:08.319
 it of

00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:08.899
 all evil

00:25:08.899 --> 00:25:10.619
 and he

00:25:10.619 --> 00:25:11.240
 shows us

00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:11.819
 in one

00:25:11.819 --> 00:25:12.359
 man

00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:12.799
 what the

00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:13.279
 renovated

00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:13.659
 universe

00:25:13.659 --> 00:25:13.939
 is going

00:25:13.939 --> 00:25:14.079
 to be

00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:14.339
 like

00:25:14.339 --> 00:25:14.859
 let me

00:25:14.859 --> 00:25:15.179
 tell you

00:25:15.179 --> 00:25:15.339
 what it

00:25:15.339 --> 00:25:15.480
 will be

00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:15.699
 like

00:25:15.699 --> 00:25:16.119
 Revelation

00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:16.720
 21

00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:18.399
 this is

00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:18.660
 what he

00:25:18.660 --> 00:25:19.160
 says

00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:21.320
 what's

00:25:21.320 --> 00:25:21.519
 it going

00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:21.680
 to be

00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:22.080
 like

00:25:22.080 --> 00:25:26.000
 it says

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:26.519
 he will

00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:27.120
 wipe

00:25:27.120 --> 00:25:28.860
 every tear

00:25:28.860 --> 00:25:29.220
 from their

00:25:29.220 --> 00:25:29.660
 eyes

00:25:29.660 --> 00:25:32.580
 and there

00:25:32.580 --> 00:25:32.820
 will be

00:25:32.820 --> 00:25:33.180
 no more

00:25:33.180 --> 00:25:33.700
 death

00:25:33.700 --> 00:25:35.780
 or mourning

00:25:35.780 --> 00:25:37.600
 or crying

00:25:37.600 --> 00:25:39.740
 or pain

00:25:39.740 --> 00:25:41.660
 for the

00:25:41.660 --> 00:25:42.160
 old order

00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:42.580
 of things

00:25:42.580 --> 00:25:42.980
 has passed

00:25:42.980 --> 00:25:43.400
 away

00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:45.840
 the dwelling

00:25:45.840 --> 00:25:46.360
 of God

00:25:46.360 --> 00:25:46.700
 is with

00:25:46.700 --> 00:25:47.259
 man

00:25:47.259 --> 00:25:49.039
 and that

00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:49.400
 is the

00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:49.940
 certain

00:25:49.940 --> 00:25:50.680
 future

00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:52.400
 how do

00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:52.660
 we know

00:25:52.660 --> 00:25:52.940
 that is

00:25:52.940 --> 00:25:53.339
 a certain

00:25:53.339 --> 00:25:53.759
 future

00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:54.579
 because we

00:25:54.579 --> 00:25:54.980
 look at

00:25:54.980 --> 00:25:55.500
 King Jesus

00:25:55.500 --> 00:25:55.799
 in the

00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:56.220
 present

00:25:56.220 --> 00:25:58.700
 this is

00:25:58.700 --> 00:25:59.099
 what happens

00:25:59.099 --> 00:25:59.599
 all around

00:25:59.599 --> 00:25:59.720
 him

00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:00.160
 isn't it

00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:01.319
 everything

00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:01.940
 is healed

00:26:01.940 --> 00:26:03.140
 everything

00:26:03.140 --> 00:26:03.759
 is better

00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:05.019
 all sin

00:26:05.019 --> 00:26:05.819
 all sickness

00:26:05.819 --> 00:26:06.299
 and evil

00:26:06.299 --> 00:26:06.940
 disappear

00:26:06.940 --> 00:26:09.240
 but God

00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:09.500
 in his

00:26:09.500 --> 00:26:09.799
 mercy

00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:10.420
 has delayed

00:26:10.420 --> 00:26:11.039
 that final

00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:11.519
 judgment

00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:13.720
 that new

00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:14.359
 world

00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:15.939
 so that

00:26:15.939 --> 00:26:16.419
 very

00:26:16.419 --> 00:26:16.899
 very

00:26:16.899 --> 00:26:17.599
 orderly

00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:17.879
 people

00:26:17.879 --> 00:26:18.459
 like you

00:26:18.459 --> 00:26:19.259
 and like

00:26:19.259 --> 00:26:19.579
 me

00:26:19.579 --> 00:26:21.939
 can come

00:26:21.939 --> 00:26:22.240
 to know

00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:22.519
 him

00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:24.039
 can come

00:26:24.039 --> 00:26:24.599
 to King

00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:24.919
 Jesus

00:26:24.919 --> 00:26:25.479
 for forgiveness

00:26:25.479 --> 00:26:27.579
 you see

00:26:27.579 --> 00:26:28.339
 nobody else

00:26:28.339 --> 00:26:28.699
 has shown

00:26:28.699 --> 00:26:28.939
 that they

00:26:28.939 --> 00:26:29.219
 can deal

00:26:29.219 --> 00:26:29.419
 with the

00:26:29.419 --> 00:26:29.719
 problems

00:26:29.719 --> 00:26:30.000
 of our

00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:30.479
 world

00:26:30.479 --> 00:26:32.339
 secular

00:26:32.339 --> 00:26:33.199
 humanism

00:26:33.199 --> 00:26:34.719
 promises

00:26:34.719 --> 00:26:35.119
 that the

00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:35.619
 human race

00:26:35.619 --> 00:26:36.339
 can better

00:26:36.339 --> 00:26:37.000
 itself

00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:38.439
 but anybody

00:26:38.439 --> 00:26:38.959
 who knows

00:26:38.959 --> 00:26:39.339
 history

00:26:39.339 --> 00:26:39.819
 knows

00:26:39.819 --> 00:26:40.039
 that

00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:41.240
 that is a

00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:41.539
 lie

00:26:41.539 --> 00:26:43.480
 if you

00:26:43.480 --> 00:26:44.119
 look just

00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:44.359
 at the

00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:44.700
 lives

00:26:44.700 --> 00:26:45.299
 of secular

00:26:45.299 --> 00:26:46.019
 humanist

00:26:46.019 --> 00:26:47.039
 philosophers

00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:47.759
 you find

00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:48.279
 time and

00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:48.879
 time again

00:26:48.879 --> 00:26:49.159
 that they

00:26:49.159 --> 00:26:49.680
 are miserable

00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:50.200
 people

00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:52.240
 Islam

00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:53.940
 it says

00:26:53.940 --> 00:26:54.339
 doesn't it

00:26:54.339 --> 00:26:54.779
 it's the

00:26:54.779 --> 00:26:55.159
 route

00:26:55.159 --> 00:26:56.039
 to peace

00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:56.920
 and happiness

00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:57.359
 that's what it

00:26:57.359 --> 00:26:57.779
 says on the

00:26:57.779 --> 00:26:58.099
 bus

00:26:58.099 --> 00:26:59.000
 as it drives

00:26:59.000 --> 00:26:59.480
 past

00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:00.420
 but let's

00:27:00.420 --> 00:27:00.839
 have a look

00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:01.440
 for a moment

00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:01.980
 at those

00:27:01.980 --> 00:27:02.639
 countries

00:27:02.639 --> 00:27:03.480
 that practice

00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:04.000
 Islamic

00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:04.519
 government

00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:07.079
 in the world

00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:07.440
 today

00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:08.799
 just think

00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:09.220
 about them

00:27:09.220 --> 00:27:11.139
 what are

00:27:11.139 --> 00:27:11.339
 they

00:27:11.339 --> 00:27:12.980
 they are

00:27:12.980 --> 00:27:13.339
 places of

00:27:13.339 --> 00:27:13.759
 oppression

00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:15.299
 and they

00:27:15.299 --> 00:27:15.619
 are places

00:27:15.619 --> 00:27:16.079
 of fear

00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:17.919
 look at

00:27:17.919 --> 00:27:18.179
 the life

00:27:18.179 --> 00:27:18.639
 of Mohammed

00:27:18.639 --> 00:27:20.740
 and you

00:27:20.740 --> 00:27:21.179
 will find

00:27:21.179 --> 00:27:21.539
 that he

00:27:21.539 --> 00:27:22.000
 is a

00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:22.539
 very

00:27:22.539 --> 00:27:23.639
 very

00:27:23.639 --> 00:27:25.059
 troubled

00:27:25.059 --> 00:27:25.519
 man

00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:28.319
 only

00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:28.720
 Jesus

00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:29.220
 says

00:27:29.220 --> 00:27:31.119
 I'm

00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:31.259
 going to

00:27:31.259 --> 00:27:31.500
 make a

00:27:31.500 --> 00:27:31.759
 perfect

00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:31.959
 new

00:27:31.959 --> 00:27:32.240
 world

00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:33.919
 and you

00:27:33.919 --> 00:27:34.220
 can come

00:27:34.220 --> 00:27:34.539
 into my

00:27:34.539 --> 00:27:34.779
 kingdom

00:27:34.779 --> 00:27:35.319
 now

00:27:35.319 --> 00:27:37.259
 he shows

00:27:37.259 --> 00:27:37.519
 us what

00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:37.899
 that kingdom

00:27:37.899 --> 00:27:38.379
 is like

00:27:38.379 --> 00:27:39.659
 what that

00:27:39.659 --> 00:27:40.359
 perfect new

00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:40.740
 world would

00:27:40.740 --> 00:27:41.039
 be like

00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:41.399
 as he

00:27:41.399 --> 00:27:42.019
 strides

00:27:42.019 --> 00:27:42.599
 the earth

00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:43.059
 and he

00:27:43.059 --> 00:27:43.659
 smashes

00:27:43.659 --> 00:27:44.240
 the effect

00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:44.720
 of sin

00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:47.379
 and Jesus

00:27:47.379 --> 00:27:47.940
 calls people

00:27:47.940 --> 00:27:48.480
 to follow

00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:48.759
 him

00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:49.379
 to come

00:27:49.379 --> 00:27:49.759
 into my

00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:50.039
 kingdom

00:27:50.039 --> 00:27:50.720
 now

00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:52.559
 Jesus

00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:52.980
 says you

00:27:52.980 --> 00:27:53.279
 are not

00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:53.500
 going to

00:27:53.500 --> 00:27:53.879
 experience

00:27:53.879 --> 00:27:54.440
 the full

00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:54.940
 benefits

00:27:54.940 --> 00:27:55.279
 of my

00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:55.519
 kingdom

00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:55.779
 now

00:27:55.779 --> 00:27:56.139
 that is

00:27:56.139 --> 00:27:56.659
 madness

00:27:56.659 --> 00:27:57.639
 you won't

00:27:57.639 --> 00:27:59.659
 but when

00:27:59.659 --> 00:28:00.420
 I return

00:28:00.420 --> 00:28:02.000
 and I

00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:02.680
 judge the

00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:03.119
 world

00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:04.420
 this is

00:28:04.420 --> 00:28:05.039
 what life

00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:05.339
 is going

00:28:05.339 --> 00:28:05.500
 to be

00:28:05.500 --> 00:28:05.899
 like

00:28:05.899 --> 00:28:07.159
 and so

00:28:07.159 --> 00:28:07.659
 we wait

00:28:07.659 --> 00:28:08.119
 don't we

00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:10.219
 we are

00:28:10.219 --> 00:28:10.599
 an ordinary

00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:11.039
 people

00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:12.019
 called by

00:28:12.019 --> 00:28:12.419
 powerful

00:28:12.419 --> 00:28:12.799
 king

00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:13.559
 and thirdly

00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:13.899
 we are

00:28:13.899 --> 00:28:14.299
 called to

00:28:14.299 --> 00:28:14.500
 live

00:28:14.500 --> 00:28:15.259
 extraordinary

00:28:15.259 --> 00:28:16.019
 lives

00:28:16.019 --> 00:28:17.919
 extraordinary

00:28:17.919 --> 00:28:18.699
 lives

00:28:18.699 --> 00:28:21.119
 Jesus

00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:22.000
 fixes his

00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:23.039
 followers

00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:23.399
 and his

00:28:23.399 --> 00:28:23.679
 gaze

00:28:23.679 --> 00:28:24.099
 and he

00:28:24.099 --> 00:28:24.479
 says you

00:28:24.479 --> 00:28:24.739
 are to

00:28:24.739 --> 00:28:25.099
 long for

00:28:25.099 --> 00:28:25.439
 the things

00:28:25.439 --> 00:28:25.759
 that this

00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:25.979
 world

00:28:25.979 --> 00:28:26.659
 despises

00:28:26.659 --> 00:28:28.919
 and you

00:28:28.919 --> 00:28:29.159
 are to

00:28:29.159 --> 00:28:29.699
 reject the

00:28:29.699 --> 00:28:30.039
 things that

00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:30.459
 this world

00:28:30.459 --> 00:28:31.179
 admires

00:28:31.180 --> 00:28:33.519
 and these

00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:34.000
 verses are

00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:34.580
 totally

00:28:34.580 --> 00:28:35.500
 counter

00:28:35.500 --> 00:28:35.840
 cultural

00:28:35.840 --> 00:28:36.259
 let me

00:28:36.259 --> 00:28:36.900
 say before

00:28:36.900 --> 00:28:37.400
 we look at

00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:37.960
 verses 20

00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:38.740
 to 26

00:28:38.740 --> 00:28:40.820
 if everybody

00:28:40.820 --> 00:28:41.740
 here today

00:28:41.740 --> 00:28:42.820
 who claims

00:28:42.820 --> 00:28:43.279
 the name of

00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:43.580
 Christian

00:28:43.580 --> 00:28:44.120
 lived like

00:28:44.120 --> 00:28:44.420
 this it

00:28:44.420 --> 00:28:45.360
 would transform

00:28:45.360 --> 00:28:46.860
 not only

00:28:46.860 --> 00:28:47.500
 our lives

00:28:47.500 --> 00:28:47.860
 but our

00:28:47.860 --> 00:28:48.140
 city

00:28:48.140 --> 00:28:48.620
 wouldn't it

00:28:48.620 --> 00:28:50.460
 look at

00:28:50.460 --> 00:28:51.180
 verse 20

00:28:51.180 --> 00:28:53.820
 he looked at

00:28:53.820 --> 00:28:54.420
 his disciples

00:28:54.420 --> 00:28:55.220
 and he said

00:28:55.220 --> 00:28:56.340
 blessed are you

00:28:56.340 --> 00:28:57.080
 who are poor

00:28:57.080 --> 00:28:59.480
 for yours is the

00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:00.100
 kingdom of God

00:29:00.099 --> 00:29:03.199
 to be blessed

00:29:03.199 --> 00:29:03.719
 is so much

00:29:03.719 --> 00:29:04.119
 more than to

00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:04.579
 be happy

00:29:04.579 --> 00:29:06.459
 it is that

00:29:06.459 --> 00:29:07.019
 deep

00:29:07.019 --> 00:29:08.119
 contentment

00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:09.759
 that only a

00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:10.339
 relationship with

00:29:10.339 --> 00:29:10.740
 the true and

00:29:10.740 --> 00:29:11.139
 living God

00:29:11.139 --> 00:29:11.759
 can give you

00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:13.719
 it is to

00:29:13.719 --> 00:29:14.139
 know how

00:29:14.139 --> 00:29:15.599
 high and

00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:16.259
 how wide

00:29:16.259 --> 00:29:16.559
 and how

00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:17.079
 long and

00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:17.639
 how deep

00:29:17.639 --> 00:29:18.839
 the love of

00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:19.399
 Jesus Christ

00:29:19.399 --> 00:29:19.980
 is for you

00:29:19.980 --> 00:29:21.419
 and that

00:29:21.419 --> 00:29:22.019
 blessing comes

00:29:22.019 --> 00:29:22.439
 to those who

00:29:22.439 --> 00:29:22.859
 are poor

00:29:22.859 --> 00:29:25.419
 it doesn't

00:29:25.419 --> 00:29:25.799
 mean those

00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:26.059
 don't have

00:29:26.059 --> 00:29:26.579
 money

00:29:26.579 --> 00:29:28.919
 it doesn't

00:29:28.919 --> 00:29:29.519
 fit with

00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:30.119
 what Jesus

00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:30.359
 has been

00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:30.879
 teaching in

00:29:30.879 --> 00:29:31.200
 Luke

00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:33.220
 no this

00:29:33.220 --> 00:29:33.619
 is those

00:29:33.619 --> 00:29:34.220
 who recognise

00:29:34.220 --> 00:29:34.599
 that they

00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:35.339
 are spiritually

00:29:35.339 --> 00:29:35.740
 poor

00:29:35.740 --> 00:29:36.660
 those who

00:29:36.660 --> 00:29:37.200
 know that

00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:37.500
 they are

00:29:37.500 --> 00:29:37.799
 sinners

00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:39.319
 and there's

00:29:39.319 --> 00:29:39.940
 nothing they

00:29:39.940 --> 00:29:40.299
 can do

00:29:40.299 --> 00:29:40.700
 with it

00:29:40.700 --> 00:29:41.859
 do about it

00:29:41.859 --> 00:29:43.379
 those who

00:29:43.379 --> 00:29:44.119
 recognise the

00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:44.720
 truth of that

00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:45.160
 verse from

00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:45.859
 Luke earlier

00:29:45.859 --> 00:29:47.000
 in verse 31

00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:47.720
 that they are

00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:48.599
 sick and they

00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:49.400
 need Dr.

00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:49.859
 Jesus

00:29:49.859 --> 00:29:51.740
 those who

00:29:51.740 --> 00:29:52.180
 don't just

00:29:52.180 --> 00:29:52.839
 sing nothing

00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:53.500
 in my hands

00:29:53.500 --> 00:29:53.960
 I bring

00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:54.740
 simply to your

00:29:54.740 --> 00:29:55.339
 cross I cling

00:29:55.339 --> 00:29:56.400
 but that is

00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:56.799
 shown in the

00:29:56.799 --> 00:29:57.160
 way that they

00:29:57.160 --> 00:29:57.539
 live

00:29:57.539 --> 00:29:59.299
 that is a

00:29:59.299 --> 00:29:59.940
 certain person

00:29:59.940 --> 00:30:01.759
 who has

00:30:01.759 --> 00:30:02.159
 the kingdom

00:30:02.159 --> 00:30:02.619
 of God

00:30:02.619 --> 00:30:02.819
 and they

00:30:02.819 --> 00:30:03.339
 live it now

00:30:03.339 --> 00:30:05.119
 they live

00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:05.440
 under the

00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:05.759
 rule of

00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:06.220
 King Jesus

00:30:06.220 --> 00:30:06.819
 they realise

00:30:06.819 --> 00:30:07.500
 there's nowhere

00:30:07.500 --> 00:30:08.599
 else and

00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:09.119
 no one else

00:30:09.119 --> 00:30:09.680
 to go to

00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:11.559
 and if you

00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:12.039
 want to know

00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:12.720
 God's blessing

00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:13.319
 in your life

00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:14.059
 the first thing

00:30:14.059 --> 00:30:14.500
 you need to

00:30:14.500 --> 00:30:14.899
 see is that

00:30:14.899 --> 00:30:15.180
 you are

00:30:15.180 --> 00:30:15.740
 totally

00:30:15.740 --> 00:30:16.259
 unworthy

00:30:16.259 --> 00:30:16.700
 of it

00:30:16.700 --> 00:30:19.039
 and it's

00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:19.420
 not just

00:30:19.420 --> 00:30:19.899
 a one off

00:30:19.899 --> 00:30:20.240
 event

00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:20.799
 it is an

00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:21.480
 ongoing

00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:22.019
 attitude

00:30:22.019 --> 00:30:24.220
 it is to

00:30:24.220 --> 00:30:24.619
 realise

00:30:24.619 --> 00:30:25.559
 that spiritually

00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:25.980
 you are

00:30:25.980 --> 00:30:26.480
 bankrupt

00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:28.799
 and it's

00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:29.259
 so easy

00:30:29.259 --> 00:30:29.940
 to go on

00:30:29.940 --> 00:30:30.200
 thinking

00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:30.539
 I'm not

00:30:30.539 --> 00:30:30.839
 as bad

00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:31.079
 as other

00:30:31.079 --> 00:30:31.640
 people are

00:30:31.640 --> 00:30:34.120
 and as I

00:30:34.120 --> 00:30:34.460
 have looked

00:30:34.460 --> 00:30:35.019
 at Luke's

00:30:35.019 --> 00:30:35.259
 gospel

00:30:35.259 --> 00:30:35.599
 the one

00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:35.779
 thing

00:30:35.779 --> 00:30:36.019
 that I

00:30:36.019 --> 00:30:36.440
 think I've

00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:36.539
 been

00:30:36.539 --> 00:30:36.880
 confronted

00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:37.200
 again

00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:37.880
 more and

00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:38.220
 more and

00:30:38.220 --> 00:30:38.360
 more

00:30:38.360 --> 00:30:38.640
 is by

00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:38.980
 what a

00:30:38.980 --> 00:30:39.440
 Pharisee

00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:39.839
 I am

00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:42.019
 how easy

00:30:42.019 --> 00:30:42.480
 it is

00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:43.180
 to think

00:30:43.180 --> 00:30:44.360
 that I'm

00:30:44.360 --> 00:30:44.759
 better than

00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:44.960
 other

00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:45.460
 Christians

00:30:45.460 --> 00:30:47.819
 that is an

00:30:47.819 --> 00:30:48.420
 awful thing

00:30:48.420 --> 00:30:48.819
 that they are

00:30:48.819 --> 00:30:49.059
 doing

00:30:49.059 --> 00:30:49.599
 I would

00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:50.120
 never do

00:30:50.120 --> 00:30:50.480
 that

00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:52.059
 so for

00:30:52.059 --> 00:30:52.299
 example

00:30:52.299 --> 00:30:52.880
 last week

00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:53.460
 we looked

00:30:53.460 --> 00:30:54.019
 at the

00:30:54.019 --> 00:30:55.059
 great privilege

00:30:55.059 --> 00:30:55.360
 and the

00:30:55.360 --> 00:30:56.099
 great blessing

00:30:56.099 --> 00:30:57.000
 it is

00:30:57.000 --> 00:30:58.159
 for us

00:30:58.159 --> 00:30:58.480
 to be able

00:30:58.480 --> 00:30:58.599
 to have

00:30:58.599 --> 00:30:59.119
 a sabbath

00:30:59.119 --> 00:30:59.519
 a day

00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:00.059
 of rest

00:31:00.059 --> 00:31:01.599
 I got

00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:01.859
 home on

00:31:01.859 --> 00:31:02.199
 the Monday

00:31:02.199 --> 00:31:02.799
 and I read

00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:03.099
 a friend

00:31:03.099 --> 00:31:03.359
 of mine

00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:03.699
 who's written

00:31:03.699 --> 00:31:04.119
 an article

00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:04.619
 on why

00:31:04.619 --> 00:31:05.379
 because of

00:31:05.379 --> 00:31:05.799
 Easter

00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:06.839
 I don't

00:31:06.839 --> 00:31:07.259
 no longer

00:31:07.259 --> 00:31:07.639
 keep the

00:31:07.639 --> 00:31:07.839
 sabbath

00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:08.099
 a day

00:31:08.099 --> 00:31:08.579
 of rest

00:31:08.579 --> 00:31:09.279
 I think

00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:09.500
 it's a

00:31:09.500 --> 00:31:09.699
 pretty

00:31:09.699 --> 00:31:10.139
 appalling

00:31:10.139 --> 00:31:10.519
 article

00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:10.799
 that is

00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:11.199
 badly

00:31:11.199 --> 00:31:11.659
 worded

00:31:11.659 --> 00:31:11.899
 I've

00:31:11.899 --> 00:31:12.219
 told him

00:31:12.219 --> 00:31:12.480
 that

00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:13.240
 and is

00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:13.559
 badly

00:31:13.559 --> 00:31:13.919
 argued

00:31:13.919 --> 00:31:14.159
 I don't

00:31:14.159 --> 00:31:14.399
 think it's

00:31:14.399 --> 00:31:14.699
 right

00:31:14.699 --> 00:31:16.219
 but I

00:31:16.219 --> 00:31:16.599
 got so

00:31:16.599 --> 00:31:16.899
 angry

00:31:16.899 --> 00:31:17.419
 about it

00:31:17.419 --> 00:31:19.459
 and I

00:31:19.459 --> 00:31:19.639
 thought

00:31:19.639 --> 00:31:20.279
 well actually

00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:20.980
 he just

00:31:20.980 --> 00:31:21.399
 doesn't get

00:31:21.399 --> 00:31:21.639
 it does

00:31:21.639 --> 00:31:21.759
 he

00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:22.240
 I get

00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:22.419
 it

00:31:22.419 --> 00:31:22.419


00:31:22.419 --> 00:31:22.699
 but he

00:31:26.099 --> 00:31:27.079
 that's the

00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:27.439
 spirit of the

00:31:27.439 --> 00:31:27.819
 Pharisee

00:31:27.819 --> 00:31:31.000
 but if only

00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:31.779
 you and I

00:31:31.779 --> 00:31:32.359
 will see our

00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:32.699
 poverty

00:31:32.699 --> 00:31:33.099
 daily

00:31:33.099 --> 00:31:35.899
 we will enjoy

00:31:35.899 --> 00:31:36.419
 the true

00:31:36.419 --> 00:31:37.079
 blessing of

00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:37.459
 being in

00:31:37.459 --> 00:31:37.699
 God's

00:31:37.699 --> 00:31:38.019
 kingdom

00:31:38.019 --> 00:31:40.039
 you see

00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:40.459
 it's only

00:31:40.459 --> 00:31:40.799
 when we

00:31:40.799 --> 00:31:41.199
 recognise

00:31:41.199 --> 00:31:41.539
 that we

00:31:41.539 --> 00:31:42.099
 are lost

00:31:42.099 --> 00:31:42.359
 without

00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:42.759
 Jesus

00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:43.099
 that we

00:31:43.099 --> 00:31:43.480
 long to

00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:43.759
 know him

00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:44.079
 more and

00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:44.359
 more

00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:45.959
 look at

00:31:45.959 --> 00:31:46.480
 verse 21

00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:47.019
 blessed are

00:31:47.019 --> 00:31:47.359
 you who are

00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:48.199
 hungry now

00:31:48.199 --> 00:31:48.759
 who hunger

00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:49.159
 now for

00:31:49.159 --> 00:31:49.500
 you will be

00:31:49.500 --> 00:31:49.980
 satisfied

00:31:49.980 --> 00:31:50.839
 that is

00:31:50.839 --> 00:31:51.139
 what it

00:31:51.139 --> 00:31:51.399
 is

00:31:51.399 --> 00:31:51.679
 to

00:31:51.679 --> 00:31:52.159
 hunger

00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:53.660
 to

00:31:53.660 --> 00:31:54.360
 crave

00:31:54.360 --> 00:31:54.920
 Christ

00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:55.580
 more

00:31:55.580 --> 00:31:57.300
 to

00:31:57.300 --> 00:31:57.860
 long to

00:31:57.860 --> 00:31:58.300
 live that

00:31:58.300 --> 00:31:58.519
 way

00:31:58.519 --> 00:31:58.720
 to

00:31:58.720 --> 00:31:59.240
 long to

00:31:59.240 --> 00:31:59.600
 know

00:31:59.600 --> 00:32:00.019
 God

00:32:00.019 --> 00:32:00.500
 better

00:32:00.500 --> 00:32:02.060
 to

00:32:02.060 --> 00:32:02.700
 want a

00:32:02.700 --> 00:32:03.080
 deeper

00:32:03.080 --> 00:32:03.860
 experience

00:32:03.860 --> 00:32:04.160
 of his

00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:04.560
 love

00:32:04.560 --> 00:32:05.259
 if you

00:32:05.259 --> 00:32:05.880
 desire

00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:06.200
 for

00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:07.120
 Jesus

00:32:07.120 --> 00:32:07.640
 and his

00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:07.960
 kingdom

00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:08.380
 then you

00:32:08.380 --> 00:32:08.880
 will be

00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:09.380
 satisfied

00:32:09.380 --> 00:32:11.279
 because there

00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:11.700
 will be a

00:32:11.700 --> 00:32:12.000
 day when

00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:12.660
 you will be

00:32:12.660 --> 00:32:13.240
 with him

00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:15.140
 Paul says

00:32:15.140 --> 00:32:15.600
 at the end

00:32:15.600 --> 00:32:15.880
 of that

00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:16.480
 passage

00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:16.740
 in 1

00:32:16.740 --> 00:32:16.980
 Corinthians

00:32:16.980 --> 00:32:17.600
 13

00:32:17.600 --> 00:32:18.460
 now we

00:32:18.460 --> 00:32:18.860
 see but

00:32:18.860 --> 00:32:19.200
 a poor

00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:19.720
 reflection

00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:20.060
 in a

00:32:20.060 --> 00:32:20.320
 mirror

00:32:20.320 --> 00:32:21.220
 then we

00:32:21.220 --> 00:32:21.660
 will see

00:32:21.660 --> 00:32:22.160
 face to

00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:22.660
 face

00:32:22.660 --> 00:32:24.600
 now I

00:32:24.600 --> 00:32:25.000
 know in

00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:25.540
 part

00:32:25.540 --> 00:32:26.220
 but then I

00:32:26.220 --> 00:32:26.620
 will know

00:32:26.620 --> 00:32:27.080
 fully

00:32:27.080 --> 00:32:27.779
 I'll know

00:32:27.779 --> 00:32:28.620
 fully as

00:32:28.620 --> 00:32:29.200
 I am fully

00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:29.700
 known

00:32:29.700 --> 00:32:31.420
 and if you

00:32:31.420 --> 00:32:32.120
 long for

00:32:32.120 --> 00:32:32.680
 God like

00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:33.140
 that

00:32:33.140 --> 00:32:34.800
 then what

00:32:34.800 --> 00:32:35.019
 will you

00:32:35.019 --> 00:32:35.180
 be

00:32:35.180 --> 00:32:35.460
 when you

00:32:35.460 --> 00:32:35.700
 will be

00:32:35.700 --> 00:32:36.340
 saddened

00:32:36.340 --> 00:32:36.640
 and you

00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:36.960
 will be

00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:37.360
 sickened

00:32:37.360 --> 00:32:37.640
 by a

00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:37.960
 world that

00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:38.400
 rejects

00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:38.500
 him

00:32:38.500 --> 00:32:38.800
 so look at

00:32:38.800 --> 00:32:39.360
 verse 21

00:32:39.360 --> 00:32:41.400
 blessed are

00:32:41.400 --> 00:32:41.800
 you who

00:32:41.800 --> 00:32:42.279
 weep now

00:32:42.279 --> 00:32:42.560
 for you

00:32:42.560 --> 00:32:43.019
 will laugh

00:32:43.019 --> 00:32:45.360
 and you

00:32:45.360 --> 00:32:45.700
 weep at

00:32:45.700 --> 00:32:46.120
 your sin

00:32:46.120 --> 00:32:46.519
 don't you

00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:49.200
 and you

00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:49.660

00:32:49.660 --> 00:32:49.920
 at the

00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:50.240
 sin

00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:51.220
 you see

00:32:51.220 --> 00:32:51.559
 around

00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:51.980

00:32:54.620 --> 00:32:55.200
 lives that

00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:55.920
 are displayed

 family

00:32:58.480 --> 00:32:58.980
 your wider

00:32:58.980 --> 00:32:59.440
 family

00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:00.140
 and you

00:33:00.140 --> 00:33:00.480
 will weep

00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:00.740
 at the

00:33:00.740 --> 00:33:01.299
 suffering that

00:33:01.299 --> 00:33:01.819
 sin brings

00:33:01.819 --> 00:33:02.600
 onto others

00:33:02.600 --> 00:33:04.880
 and if you're

00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:05.819
 groaning for

00:33:05.819 --> 00:33:06.500
 the end of

00:33:06.500 --> 00:33:07.259
 this God

00:33:07.259 --> 00:33:08.000
 dishonouring

00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:08.839
 sin filled

 with joy

00:33:14.380 --> 00:33:16.680
 as you

00:33:18.120 --> 00:33:18.700

00:33:19.780 --> 00:33:20.160
 creation

00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:22.800
 and because

00:33:22.800 --> 00:33:23.880
 all of that

00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:24.300
 is made

00:33:24.300 --> 00:33:24.860
 possible

00:33:24.860 --> 00:33:25.800
 for you

00:33:25.800 --> 00:33:26.180

00:33:26.580 --> 00:33:27.060
 son of

00:33:27.060 --> 00:33:27.320
 man

00:33:27.320 --> 00:33:27.580
 look at

00:33:27.580 --> 00:33:28.220
 verse 22

00:33:28.220 --> 00:33:31.440
 blessed are you

00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:32.320
 when men hate

00:33:32.320 --> 00:33:32.480
 you

00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:32.800
 when they

00:33:32.800 --> 00:33:33.440
 exclude you

00:33:33.440 --> 00:33:33.940
 and insult

00:33:33.940 --> 00:33:34.260
 you and

00:33:34.260 --> 00:33:34.800
 reject your

00:33:34.800 --> 00:33:35.140
 name as

00:33:35.140 --> 00:33:35.660
 evil because

00:33:35.660 --> 00:33:35.900
 of the

00:33:35.900 --> 00:33:36.200
 son of

00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:36.440
 man

00:33:36.440 --> 00:33:37.160
 now we

00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:37.620
 long

00:33:37.620 --> 00:33:38.500
 to be

00:33:38.500 --> 00:33:38.980
 accepted

00:33:38.980 --> 00:33:39.680
 don't we

00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:41.960
 I crave

00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:42.480
 the approval

00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:43.060
 of others

00:33:43.060 --> 00:33:47.900
 forgive

00:33:47.900 --> 00:33:48.299
 personal

00:33:48.299 --> 00:33:48.660
 illustrations

00:33:48.660 --> 00:33:49.000
 but

00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:50.180
 occasionally

00:33:50.180 --> 00:33:50.560
 I will

00:33:50.560 --> 00:33:51.380
 preach a

00:33:51.380 --> 00:33:51.620
 sermon

00:33:51.620 --> 00:33:52.000
 I'll get

00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:52.400
 home

00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:53.680
 and nobody

00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:54.160
 said anything

00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:54.380
 to me

00:33:54.380 --> 00:33:54.820
 afterwards

00:33:54.820 --> 00:33:55.920
 and I

00:33:55.920 --> 00:33:56.180
 will say

00:33:56.180 --> 00:33:56.480
 to Claire

00:33:56.480 --> 00:33:56.980
 over lunch

00:33:56.980 --> 00:33:59.060
 it wasn't

00:33:59.060 --> 00:33:59.420
 great this

00:33:59.420 --> 00:33:59.759
 morning was

00:33:59.759 --> 00:33:59.960
 it

00:33:59.960 --> 00:34:01.259
 now actually

00:34:01.259 --> 00:34:01.700
 I don't

00:34:01.700 --> 00:34:02.400
 believe that

00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:03.500
 I think

00:34:03.500 --> 00:34:03.680
 it was

00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:04.180
 fantastic

00:34:04.180 --> 00:34:06.060
 but what

00:34:06.060 --> 00:34:06.380
 I want

00:34:06.380 --> 00:34:06.720
 Claire to

00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:06.980
 do is

00:34:06.980 --> 00:34:07.480
 to say

00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:08.579
 no love

00:34:08.579 --> 00:34:08.980
 that was

00:34:08.980 --> 00:34:10.119
 marvellous

00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:11.240
 that was

00:34:11.240 --> 00:34:11.740
 moving

00:34:11.740 --> 00:34:13.480
 what she

00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:13.679
 normally

00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:14.099
 says is

00:34:14.099 --> 00:34:14.360
 it was

00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:14.679
 ok

00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:18.840
 what am I

00:34:18.840 --> 00:34:19.019
 doing

00:34:19.019 --> 00:34:19.579
 I'm fishing

00:34:19.579 --> 00:34:20.340
 for compliments

00:34:20.340 --> 00:34:20.800
 aren't I

00:34:20.800 --> 00:34:22.519
 I'm craving

00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:23.059
 the approval

00:34:23.059 --> 00:34:23.599
 of others

00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:25.340
 and we

00:34:25.340 --> 00:34:25.980
 love that

00:34:25.980 --> 00:34:26.500
 don't we

00:34:26.500 --> 00:34:28.820
 we need

00:34:28.820 --> 00:34:29.440
 somewhere

00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:31.119
 to fit

00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:31.559
 in

00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:34.059
 but look

00:34:34.059 --> 00:34:34.659
 at verse 22

00:34:34.659 --> 00:34:35.380
 Jesus says

00:34:35.380 --> 00:34:36.039
 blessing comes

00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:36.360
 when we

00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:37.240
 stand out

00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:39.759
 when we

00:34:39.759 --> 00:34:40.439
 want his

00:34:40.439 --> 00:34:41.159
 approval

00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:42.239
 above

00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:42.919
 everything

00:34:42.919 --> 00:34:43.419
 else

00:34:43.419 --> 00:34:44.619
 when we

00:34:44.619 --> 00:34:45.159
 are not

00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:45.719
 accepted

00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:46.119
 by the

00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:46.379
 world

00:34:46.379 --> 00:34:46.579
 which

00:34:46.579 --> 00:34:47.039
 rejects

00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:47.159
 him

00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:47.699
 now I

00:34:47.699 --> 00:34:47.939
 want you

00:34:47.939 --> 00:34:48.259
 to see

00:34:48.259 --> 00:34:48.500
 there's

00:34:48.500 --> 00:34:48.959
 progression

00:34:48.959 --> 00:34:49.379
 in verse

00:34:49.379 --> 00:34:49.819
 22

00:34:49.819 --> 00:34:50.179
 do you see

00:34:50.179 --> 00:34:51.139
 the escalating

00:34:51.139 --> 00:34:51.799
 persecution

00:34:51.799 --> 00:34:54.139
 verse 22

00:34:54.139 --> 00:34:54.699
 they will

00:34:54.699 --> 00:34:55.639
 hate you

00:34:55.639 --> 00:34:56.699
 that's the

00:34:56.699 --> 00:34:57.199
 emotional

00:34:57.199 --> 00:34:58.039
 response

00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:00.000
 then there

00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:00.319
 is the

00:35:00.319 --> 00:35:00.799
 action

00:35:00.799 --> 00:35:02.319
 they will

00:35:02.319 --> 00:35:02.839
 shut you

00:35:02.839 --> 00:35:03.039
 out

00:35:03.039 --> 00:35:03.419
 they will

00:35:03.419 --> 00:35:04.000
 exclude

00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:04.619
 you

00:35:04.619 --> 00:35:07.199
 then finally

00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:07.679
 practically

00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:08.539
 they insult

00:35:08.539 --> 00:35:08.940
 you

00:35:08.940 --> 00:35:10.519
 before your

00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:11.380
 whole character

00:35:11.380 --> 00:35:12.260
 is assassinated

00:35:12.260 --> 00:35:13.860
 you are

00:35:13.860 --> 00:35:14.400
 labelled as

00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:15.119
 evil

00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:17.000
 for following

00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:17.800
 King Jesus

00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:20.579
 and that's

00:35:20.579 --> 00:35:21.179
 happening now

00:35:21.179 --> 00:35:21.679
 isn't it

00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:25.039
 we see it

00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:25.679
 as Christians

00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:26.400
 who make a

00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:26.900
 stand

00:35:26.900 --> 00:35:30.179
 on Friday

00:35:30.179 --> 00:35:31.059
 in the

00:35:31.059 --> 00:35:31.460
 Guardian

00:35:31.460 --> 00:35:32.179
 newspaper

00:35:32.179 --> 00:35:32.639
 there was

00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:33.159
 an article

00:35:33.159 --> 00:35:34.359
 entitled

00:35:34.359 --> 00:35:35.059
 was Jesus

00:35:35.059 --> 00:35:35.500
 gay

00:35:35.500 --> 00:35:36.219
 probably

00:35:36.219 --> 00:35:38.960
 and it

00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:39.480
 is

00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:40.679
 astonishing

00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:41.500
 well number

00:35:41.500 --> 00:35:42.119
 one was

00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:42.500
 the Guardian

00:35:42.500 --> 00:35:42.940
 of the Guts

00:35:42.940 --> 00:35:43.339
 to publish

00:35:43.339 --> 00:35:43.759
 something like

00:35:43.759 --> 00:35:44.019
 that about

00:35:44.019 --> 00:35:44.359
 Mohammed

00:35:44.359 --> 00:35:46.319
 but it

00:35:46.319 --> 00:35:47.019
 is appallingly

00:35:47.019 --> 00:35:48.319
 argued

00:35:48.319 --> 00:35:49.239
 it's really

00:35:49.239 --> 00:35:49.659
 this man

00:35:49.659 --> 00:35:50.379
 has kind of

00:35:50.379 --> 00:35:50.839
 read into

00:35:50.839 --> 00:35:51.119
 what it is

00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:51.659
 but go and

00:35:51.659 --> 00:35:51.960
 read the

00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:52.359
 comments

00:35:52.359 --> 00:35:53.519
 and there are

00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:54.299
 some nutty

00:35:54.299 --> 00:35:54.980
 Christians on

00:35:54.980 --> 00:35:55.179
 there

00:35:55.179 --> 00:35:56.980
 but read

00:35:56.980 --> 00:35:57.480
 the Christians

00:35:57.480 --> 00:35:57.759
 who have

00:35:57.759 --> 00:35:58.119
 responded

00:35:58.119 --> 00:35:58.719
 quite nicely

00:35:58.719 --> 00:35:59.399
 and politely

00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:01.599
 and see

00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:02.000
 how

00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:02.760
 others

00:36:02.760 --> 00:36:03.139
 react

00:36:03.139 --> 00:36:04.180
 to them

00:36:04.180 --> 00:36:05.320
 we've seen

00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:05.619
 it haven't we

00:36:05.619 --> 00:36:06.000
 in Christians

00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:06.420
 who make a

00:36:06.420 --> 00:36:06.900
 stand about

00:36:06.900 --> 00:36:07.539
 registering a

00:36:07.539 --> 00:36:08.200
 civil partnership

00:36:08.200 --> 00:36:09.099
 they say

00:36:09.099 --> 00:36:09.360
 that they

00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:09.800
 won't do it

00:36:09.800 --> 00:36:10.160
 as part of

00:36:10.160 --> 00:36:10.579
 their work

00:36:10.579 --> 00:36:10.940
 how does

00:36:10.940 --> 00:36:11.940
 media portray

00:36:11.940 --> 00:36:12.240
 them

00:36:12.240 --> 00:36:12.800
 evil

00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:13.539
 uncaring

00:36:13.539 --> 00:36:14.200
 and unloving

00:36:14.200 --> 00:36:16.019
 we know

00:36:16.019 --> 00:36:16.380
 it don't we

00:36:16.380 --> 00:36:17.000
 we are friends

00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:17.280
 who are

00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:17.780
 ministers of

00:36:17.780 --> 00:36:18.099
 Scotland

00:36:18.099 --> 00:36:18.900
 and they

00:36:18.900 --> 00:36:19.220
 have stood

00:36:19.220 --> 00:36:19.500
 up for

00:36:19.500 --> 00:36:20.180
 biblical truth

00:36:20.180 --> 00:36:20.539
 and they

00:36:20.539 --> 00:36:21.360
 are vilified

00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:21.639
 in the

00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:22.300
 local media

00:36:22.300 --> 00:36:24.059
 and they

00:36:24.059 --> 00:36:24.280
 are having

00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:24.619
 a fight

00:36:24.619 --> 00:36:24.860
 for their

00:36:24.860 --> 00:36:25.619
 own church

00:36:25.619 --> 00:36:26.079
 authorities

00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:26.579
 for something

00:36:26.579 --> 00:36:26.940
 they keep

00:36:26.940 --> 00:36:27.279
 the building

00:36:27.279 --> 00:36:27.679
 they meet

00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:27.840
 in

00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:28.380
 and their

00:36:28.380 --> 00:36:29.000
 crime

00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:30.179
 standing up

00:36:30.179 --> 00:36:30.420
 for the

00:36:30.420 --> 00:36:30.699
 truth

00:36:30.699 --> 00:36:31.279
 and standards

00:36:31.279 --> 00:36:31.739
 of God's

00:36:31.739 --> 00:36:31.920
 word

00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:32.400
 the Bible

00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:34.400
 but if you

00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:34.759
 read the

00:36:34.759 --> 00:36:35.019
 press

00:36:35.019 --> 00:36:35.219
 if you

00:36:35.219 --> 00:36:35.619
 didn't know

00:36:35.619 --> 00:36:36.159
 those men

00:36:36.159 --> 00:36:38.179
 you would

00:36:38.179 --> 00:36:38.480
 think that

00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:38.699
 they were

00:36:38.699 --> 00:36:39.199
 evil

00:36:39.199 --> 00:36:39.880
 and loving

00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:40.380
 people

00:36:40.380 --> 00:36:41.119
 and maybe

00:36:41.119 --> 00:36:41.739
 just maybe

00:36:41.739 --> 00:36:42.039
 you've

00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:42.639
 experienced

00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:43.019
 that

00:36:43.019 --> 00:36:45.299
 maybe

00:36:45.299 --> 00:36:45.539
 you've

00:36:45.539 --> 00:36:45.759
 asked

00:36:45.759 --> 00:36:45.960
 somebody

00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:46.119
 to do

00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:46.480
 a carol

00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:46.779
 service

00:36:46.779 --> 00:36:47.000
 or

00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:47.799
 something

00:36:47.799 --> 00:36:48.380
 at church

00:36:48.380 --> 00:36:48.679
 and out

00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:49.019
 of love

00:36:49.019 --> 00:36:49.239
 you've

00:36:49.239 --> 00:36:49.579
 longed

00:36:49.579 --> 00:36:49.779
 for them

00:36:49.779 --> 00:36:50.139
 to hear

00:36:50.139 --> 00:36:50.380
 about

00:36:50.380 --> 00:36:50.900
 Jesus

00:36:50.900 --> 00:36:52.159
 and they've

00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:52.380
 just

00:36:52.380 --> 00:36:52.739
 labelled

00:36:52.739 --> 00:36:53.079
 you as

00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:53.659
 a religious

00:36:53.659 --> 00:36:54.360
 busy

00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:54.679
 body

00:36:54.679 --> 00:36:56.960
 maybe

00:36:56.960 --> 00:36:57.139
 you'd

00:36:57.139 --> 00:36:57.259
 be

00:36:57.259 --> 00:36:57.539
 called

00:36:57.539 --> 00:36:58.159
 sad

00:36:58.159 --> 00:36:59.719
 because

00:36:59.719 --> 00:37:00.059
 you won't

00:37:00.059 --> 00:37:00.500
 join in

00:37:00.500 --> 00:37:00.819
 the drinking

00:37:00.819 --> 00:37:01.099
 like

00:37:01.099 --> 00:37:01.379
 everyone

00:37:01.379 --> 00:37:01.699
 else

00:37:01.699 --> 00:37:02.239
 you refuse

00:37:02.239 --> 00:37:02.539
 to go to

00:37:02.539 --> 00:37:02.879
 the strip

00:37:02.879 --> 00:37:03.079
 club

00:37:03.079 --> 00:37:03.440
 after the

00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:03.659
 office

00:37:03.659 --> 00:37:04.219
 party

00:37:04.219 --> 00:37:05.359
 perhaps

00:37:05.359 --> 00:37:05.599
 maybe

00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:05.839
 you've

00:37:05.839 --> 00:37:06.059
 lost

00:37:06.059 --> 00:37:06.199
 the

00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:06.619
 promotion

00:37:06.619 --> 00:37:07.500
 perhaps

00:37:07.500 --> 00:37:08.000
 you feared

00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:08.319
 for your

00:37:08.319 --> 00:37:08.559
 job

00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:08.839
 maybe

00:37:08.839 --> 00:37:09.099
 it's

00:37:09.099 --> 00:37:09.500
 school

00:37:09.500 --> 00:37:11.199
 there's

00:37:11.199 --> 00:37:11.519
 that group

00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:12.299
 of friends

00:37:12.299 --> 00:37:12.859
 and they

00:37:12.859 --> 00:37:13.279
 like you

00:37:13.279 --> 00:37:13.500
 and they

00:37:13.500 --> 00:37:13.859
 accept

00:37:13.859 --> 00:37:14.199
 you

00:37:14.199 --> 00:37:15.599
 you find

00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:16.199
 them fun

00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:17.239
 but when

00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:17.619
 they find

00:37:17.619 --> 00:37:17.779
 out

00:37:17.779 --> 00:37:18.099
 actually

00:37:18.099 --> 00:37:18.379
 you go

00:37:18.379 --> 00:37:18.719
 to church

00:37:18.719 --> 00:37:19.319
 and actually

00:37:19.319 --> 00:37:20.139
 you believe

00:37:20.139 --> 00:37:20.599
 in Jesus

00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:20.919
 and you

00:37:20.919 --> 00:37:21.239
 want to

00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:21.819
 follow him

00:37:21.819 --> 00:37:22.500
 and you

00:37:22.500 --> 00:37:22.899
 take your

00:37:22.899 --> 00:37:23.139
 faith

00:37:23.139 --> 00:37:23.480
 seriously

00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:24.119
 they chip

00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:24.400
 away

00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:24.599
 don't

00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:24.819
 they

00:37:24.819 --> 00:37:26.259
 why do

00:37:26.259 --> 00:37:26.400
 you want

00:37:26.400 --> 00:37:26.659
 to go

00:37:26.659 --> 00:37:26.980
 there

00:37:26.980 --> 00:37:28.500
 have you

00:37:28.500 --> 00:37:28.819
 seen the

00:37:28.819 --> 00:37:29.159
 people who

00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:29.639
 go there

00:37:29.639 --> 00:37:31.259
 the odd

00:37:31.259 --> 00:37:31.659
 people who

00:37:31.659 --> 00:37:31.759
 are in

00:37:31.759 --> 00:37:31.920
 your

00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:32.440
 church

00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:34.119
 well when

00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:34.599
 Jesus

00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:35.299
 when that

00:37:35.299 --> 00:37:35.819
 happens

00:37:35.819 --> 00:37:36.519
 Jesus says

00:37:36.519 --> 00:37:37.339
 verse 23

00:37:37.339 --> 00:37:39.299
 it's party

00:37:39.299 --> 00:37:39.739
 time

00:37:39.739 --> 00:37:42.940
 rejoice in

00:37:42.940 --> 00:37:43.599
 that day

00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:46.139
 leap

00:37:46.139 --> 00:37:47.619
 for joy

00:37:47.619 --> 00:37:52.519
 because

00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:53.059
 great is

00:37:53.059 --> 00:37:53.219
 your

00:37:53.219 --> 00:37:53.639
 reward in

00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:53.880
 heaven

00:37:53.880 --> 00:37:55.199
 he says

00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:55.699
 be so

00:37:55.699 --> 00:37:56.119
 happy

00:37:56.119 --> 00:37:58.639
 for that

00:37:58.639 --> 00:37:58.900
 is how

00:37:58.900 --> 00:37:59.039
 the

00:37:59.039 --> 00:37:59.279
 father

00:37:59.279 --> 00:37:59.420
 has

00:37:59.420 --> 00:37:59.599
 treated

00:37:59.599 --> 00:37:59.799
 the

00:37:59.799 --> 00:38:00.079
 prophet

00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:00.460
 it

00:38:00.460 --> 00:38:00.779
 is a

00:38:00.779 --> 00:38:01.159
 wonderful

00:38:01.159 --> 00:38:01.559
 day

00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:02.099
 oh

00:38:02.099 --> 00:38:02.819
 happy

00:38:02.819 --> 00:38:03.319
 day

00:38:03.319 --> 00:38:04.519
 when that

00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:05.000
 happens

00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:07.099
 why

00:38:07.099 --> 00:38:09.500
 well because

00:38:09.500 --> 00:38:09.779
 when you

00:38:09.779 --> 00:38:10.480
 stand in

00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:10.799
 heaven

00:38:10.799 --> 00:38:12.659
 and Jesus

00:38:12.659 --> 00:38:13.099
 greets you

00:38:13.099 --> 00:38:13.460
 as a good

00:38:13.460 --> 00:38:13.900
 and faithful

00:38:13.900 --> 00:38:14.219
 servant

00:38:14.219 --> 00:38:14.779
 all the

00:38:14.779 --> 00:38:15.259
 insults

00:38:15.259 --> 00:38:15.579
 and all

00:38:15.579 --> 00:38:15.739
 the

00:38:15.739 --> 00:38:16.039
 taunts

00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:16.399
 and all

00:38:16.399 --> 00:38:16.559
 the

00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:16.839
 mocking

00:38:16.839 --> 00:38:17.039
 will

00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:17.559
 disappear

00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:21.259
 because

00:38:21.259 --> 00:38:21.559
 you'll be

00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:21.859
 with the

00:38:21.859 --> 00:38:22.119
 king

00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:23.980
 and in

00:38:23.980 --> 00:38:24.279
 fact you

00:38:24.279 --> 00:38:24.739
 are following

00:38:24.739 --> 00:38:25.279
 a long

00:38:25.279 --> 00:38:25.559
 lie

00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:26.339
 distinguished

00:38:26.339 --> 00:38:27.359
 truth

00:38:27.359 --> 00:38:27.779
 speakers

00:38:27.779 --> 00:38:27.959
 do you

00:38:27.959 --> 00:38:28.159
 remember

00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:28.719
 Manchaia

00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:29.839
 the prophet

00:38:29.839 --> 00:38:30.139
 he got

00:38:30.139 --> 00:38:30.579
 slapped in

00:38:30.579 --> 00:38:30.959
 the face

00:38:30.959 --> 00:38:31.199
 he got

00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:31.619
 thrown in

00:38:31.619 --> 00:38:31.839
 prison

00:38:31.839 --> 00:38:32.279
 for telling

00:38:32.279 --> 00:38:32.639
 the truth

00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:33.079
 and that

00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:33.359
 is the

00:38:33.359 --> 00:38:33.659
 life of

00:38:33.659 --> 00:38:33.759
 the

00:38:33.759 --> 00:38:34.119
 Christian

00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:37.639
 absurdly

00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:38.179
 happy

00:38:38.179 --> 00:38:41.099
 absurdly

00:38:41.099 --> 00:38:41.419
 happy

00:38:41.419 --> 00:38:41.699
 because

00:38:41.699 --> 00:38:42.099
 Jesus

00:38:42.099 --> 00:38:42.779
 loves us

00:38:42.779 --> 00:38:43.719
 I'm never

00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:44.039
 out of

00:38:44.039 --> 00:38:44.319
 trouble

00:38:44.319 --> 00:38:45.379
 because

00:38:45.379 --> 00:38:45.679
 the world

00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:46.279
 hates us

00:38:46.279 --> 00:38:48.559
 we live

00:38:48.559 --> 00:38:48.839
 in the

00:38:48.839 --> 00:38:49.139
 midst

00:38:49.139 --> 00:38:49.599
 of the

00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:50.139
 revolution

00:38:50.139 --> 00:38:51.779
 but we're

00:38:51.779 --> 00:38:52.179
 loyal to

00:38:52.179 --> 00:38:52.599
 the king

00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:54.839
 radically

00:38:54.839 --> 00:38:55.459
 different

00:38:55.459 --> 00:38:57.239
 and yet

00:38:57.239 --> 00:38:57.719
 daily

00:38:57.719 --> 00:38:58.199
 resolved

00:38:58.199 --> 00:38:58.679
 to resist

00:38:58.679 --> 00:38:59.339
 the temptation

00:38:59.339 --> 00:38:59.980
 to settle

00:38:59.980 --> 00:39:00.279
 for the

00:39:00.279 --> 00:39:00.939
 quiet life

00:39:00.939 --> 00:39:02.239
 and to

00:39:02.239 --> 00:39:02.639
 fit in

00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:03.459
 because if

00:39:03.459 --> 00:39:03.919
 you do

00:39:03.919 --> 00:39:04.459
 settle for

00:39:04.459 --> 00:39:04.819
 the quiet

00:39:04.819 --> 00:39:05.199
 life and

00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:05.519
 you just

00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:05.879
 try and

00:39:05.879 --> 00:39:06.259
 fit in

00:39:06.259 --> 00:39:06.519
 look at

00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:07.119
 verse 24

00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:07.639
 the results

00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:08.219
 are terrible

00:39:08.219 --> 00:39:09.199
 woe to

00:39:09.199 --> 00:39:09.339
 you

00:39:09.339 --> 00:39:09.359
 you

00:39:09.359 --> 00:39:09.519
 are

00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:09.779
 rich

00:39:09.779 --> 00:39:12.500
 for

00:39:12.500 --> 00:39:12.679
 you've

00:39:12.679 --> 00:39:12.939
 already

00:39:12.939 --> 00:39:13.299
 received

00:39:13.300 --> 00:39:13.460
 your

00:39:13.460 --> 00:39:13.900
 comfort

00:39:13.900 --> 00:39:14.640
 woe

00:39:14.640 --> 00:39:14.880
 means

00:39:14.880 --> 00:39:15.039
 how

00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:15.480
 terrible

00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:16.920
 how

00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:17.400
 terrible

00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:17.760
 for you

00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:18.039
 who are

00:39:18.039 --> 00:39:18.440
 rich

00:39:18.440 --> 00:39:20.960
 and again

00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:21.360
 the problem

00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:21.680
 is not

00:39:21.680 --> 00:39:22.039
 money

00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:24.039
 it might

00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:24.360
 be the

00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:24.580
 problem

00:39:24.580 --> 00:39:25.120
 is money

00:39:25.120 --> 00:39:26.060
 but I

00:39:26.060 --> 00:39:26.200
 don't

00:39:26.200 --> 00:39:26.420
 think it

00:39:26.420 --> 00:39:26.760
 is

00:39:26.760 --> 00:39:28.620
 through the

00:39:28.620 --> 00:39:29.060
 example

00:39:29.060 --> 00:39:29.720
 isn't it

00:39:29.720 --> 00:39:30.480
 of every

00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:31.060
 rich man

00:39:31.060 --> 00:39:31.480
 in Luke's

00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:31.780
 gospel

00:39:31.780 --> 00:39:32.100
 if you

00:39:32.100 --> 00:39:32.580
 look through

00:39:32.580 --> 00:39:34.100
 those

00:39:34.100 --> 00:39:34.460
 who

00:39:34.460 --> 00:39:35.320
 reject

00:39:35.320 --> 00:39:35.840
 God

00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:36.300
 because

00:39:36.300 --> 00:39:37.700
 they

00:39:37.700 --> 00:39:37.960
 don't

00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:38.400
 they

00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:39.480
 feel

00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:39.780
 they don't

00:39:39.780 --> 00:39:40.340
 need him

00:39:40.340 --> 00:39:41.500
 and one

00:39:41.500 --> 00:39:41.700
 of the

00:39:41.700 --> 00:39:41.960
 signs

00:39:41.960 --> 00:39:42.340
 for rich

00:39:42.340 --> 00:39:42.579
 people

00:39:42.579 --> 00:39:43.059
 becoming

00:39:43.059 --> 00:39:43.620
 Christians

00:39:43.620 --> 00:39:44.059
 in Luke's

00:39:44.059 --> 00:39:44.300
 gospel

00:39:44.300 --> 00:39:44.660
 is that

00:39:44.660 --> 00:39:44.780
 they

00:39:44.780 --> 00:39:45.640
 give away

00:39:45.640 --> 00:39:45.960
 all their

00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:46.200
 money

00:39:46.200 --> 00:39:47.260
 but I

00:39:47.260 --> 00:39:47.480
 don't

00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:47.780
 think

00:39:47.780 --> 00:39:48.340
 it is

00:39:48.340 --> 00:39:48.840
 material

00:39:48.840 --> 00:39:49.340
 money

00:39:49.340 --> 00:39:49.880
 that he's

00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:50.140
 talking

00:39:50.140 --> 00:39:50.440
 about

00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:52.559
 again I

00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:52.900
 think it's

00:39:52.900 --> 00:39:53.240
 those who

00:39:53.240 --> 00:39:54.019
 feel spiritually

00:39:54.019 --> 00:39:54.820
 self-righteous

00:39:54.820 --> 00:39:54.820


00:39:57.400 --> 00:39:58.079
 They have no

00:39:58.079 --> 00:39:58.519
 need for

00:39:58.519 --> 00:39:58.840
 Jesus

00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:01.200
 because they

00:40:01.200 --> 00:40:01.519
 are good

00:40:01.519 --> 00:40:01.720
 and they

00:40:01.720 --> 00:40:02.039
 are nice

00:40:02.039 --> 00:40:02.360
 people

00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:02.940
 they don't

00:40:02.940 --> 00:40:03.460
 need anybody

00:40:03.460 --> 00:40:03.880
 to die

00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:04.320
 for their

00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:04.559
 sins

00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:04.860
 because

00:40:04.860 --> 00:40:05.140
 they're

00:40:05.140 --> 00:40:05.940
 self-satisfied

00:40:05.940 --> 00:40:06.720
 and that

00:40:06.720 --> 00:40:07.079
 is all

00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:07.220
 the

00:40:07.220 --> 00:40:08.200
 self-satisfaction

00:40:08.200 --> 00:40:08.380
 they're

00:40:08.380 --> 00:40:08.519
 going to

00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:08.700
 get

00:40:08.700 --> 00:40:08.940
 look at

00:40:08.940 --> 00:40:09.760
 verse 25

00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:11.440
 woe to

00:40:11.440 --> 00:40:11.700
 you who

00:40:11.700 --> 00:40:12.119
 are well

00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:12.460
 fed

00:40:12.460 --> 00:40:12.820
 now

00:40:12.820 --> 00:40:13.159
 for you

00:40:13.159 --> 00:40:13.300
 will

00:40:13.300 --> 00:40:13.480
 go

00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:13.980
 hungry

00:40:13.980 --> 00:40:16.539
 they don't

00:40:16.539 --> 00:40:16.900
 feel they

00:40:16.900 --> 00:40:17.159
 need to

00:40:17.159 --> 00:40:17.559
 know God

00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:18.139
 any better

00:40:18.139 --> 00:40:19.420
 they are

00:40:19.420 --> 00:40:20.000
 content

00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:20.760
 not with

00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:21.340
 food

00:40:21.340 --> 00:40:21.980
 they are

00:40:21.980 --> 00:40:22.800
 well fed

00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:24.700
 by their

00:40:24.700 --> 00:40:25.220
 own ego

00:40:25.220 --> 00:40:26.659
 and they

00:40:26.659 --> 00:40:27.039
 are living

00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:27.780
 for themselves

00:40:27.780 --> 00:40:28.980
 and their

00:40:28.980 --> 00:40:29.559
 desire is

00:40:29.559 --> 00:40:30.179
 for more

00:40:30.179 --> 00:40:30.900
 self

00:40:30.900 --> 00:40:33.220
 but when

00:40:33.220 --> 00:40:33.760
 they stand

00:40:33.760 --> 00:40:34.360
 before Jesus

00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:34.900
 the judge

00:40:34.900 --> 00:40:35.300
 they will

00:40:35.300 --> 00:40:35.920
 realize

00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:38.380
 how much

00:40:38.380 --> 00:40:38.639
 they've

00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:38.920
 missed

00:40:38.920 --> 00:40:40.980
 because they

00:40:40.980 --> 00:40:41.240
 will be

00:40:41.240 --> 00:40:41.740
 sent into

00:40:41.740 --> 00:40:42.300
 an eternity

00:40:42.300 --> 00:40:42.880
 of receiving

00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:43.240
 God's

00:40:43.240 --> 00:40:43.619
 punishment

00:40:43.619 --> 00:40:45.280
 rather than

00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:45.720
 rejoicing

00:40:45.720 --> 00:40:45.900
 in his

00:40:45.900 --> 00:40:46.159
 presence

00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:46.519
 in verse

00:40:46.519 --> 00:40:47.000
 25

00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:47.420
 woe to

00:40:47.420 --> 00:40:47.599
 you

00:40:47.599 --> 00:40:48.220
 who

00:40:48.220 --> 00:40:48.639
 laugh

00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:48.860
 now

00:40:48.860 --> 00:40:49.079
 for you

00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:49.200
 will

00:40:49.200 --> 00:40:49.420
 more

00:40:49.420 --> 00:40:49.539
 than

00:40:49.539 --> 00:40:49.920
 weep

00:40:49.920 --> 00:40:50.360
 Jesus

00:40:50.360 --> 00:40:50.659
 is not

00:40:50.659 --> 00:40:50.920
 against

00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:51.519
 laughing

00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:51.800
 although

00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:52.079
 you would

00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:52.500
 think so

00:40:52.500 --> 00:40:52.940
 sometimes

00:40:52.940 --> 00:40:53.300
 by his

00:40:53.300 --> 00:40:53.860
 followers

00:40:53.860 --> 00:40:56.480
 it is

00:40:56.480 --> 00:40:57.019
 those who

00:40:57.019 --> 00:40:57.320
 in their

00:40:57.320 --> 00:40:57.659
 self

00:40:57.659 --> 00:40:58.380
 satisfaction

00:40:58.380 --> 00:40:59.860
 are not

00:40:59.860 --> 00:41:00.480
 really bothered

00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:01.159
 by sin

00:41:01.159 --> 00:41:01.840
 or suffering

00:41:01.840 --> 00:41:02.920
 in the

00:41:02.920 --> 00:41:03.119
 world

00:41:03.119 --> 00:41:03.380
 or in

00:41:03.380 --> 00:41:03.519
 fact

00:41:03.519 --> 00:41:04.180
 anyone else

00:41:04.179 --> 00:41:05.879
 they can

00:41:05.879 --> 00:41:06.199
 be quite

00:41:06.199 --> 00:41:06.719
 happy

00:41:06.719 --> 00:41:08.079
 as long

00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:08.480
 as their

00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:08.919
 little

00:41:08.919 --> 00:41:09.539
 corner of

00:41:09.539 --> 00:41:09.859
 creation

00:41:09.859 --> 00:41:10.219
 is going

00:41:10.219 --> 00:41:10.659
 to plan

00:41:10.659 --> 00:41:11.460
 but when

00:41:11.460 --> 00:41:11.759
 they are

00:41:11.759 --> 00:41:12.279
 shut out

00:41:12.279 --> 00:41:12.699
 of God's

00:41:12.699 --> 00:41:12.940
 new

00:41:12.940 --> 00:41:13.500
 creation

00:41:13.500 --> 00:41:14.419
 they will

00:41:14.419 --> 00:41:14.779
 weep

00:41:14.779 --> 00:41:15.319
 and mourn

00:41:15.319 --> 00:41:15.639
 in hell

00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:15.980
 forever

00:41:15.980 --> 00:41:18.239
 and there

00:41:18.239 --> 00:41:18.639
 are people

00:41:18.639 --> 00:41:19.079
 aren't there

00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:19.879
 they long

00:41:19.879 --> 00:41:20.719
 to fit in

00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:21.819
 verse 26

00:41:21.820 --> 00:41:23.740
 when all

00:41:23.740 --> 00:41:24.500
 men speak

00:41:24.500 --> 00:41:25.019
 well of

00:41:25.019 --> 00:41:25.300
 you

00:41:25.300 --> 00:41:27.280
 for that

00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:27.519
 is how

00:41:27.519 --> 00:41:27.720
 their

00:41:27.720 --> 00:41:28.059
 fathers

00:41:28.059 --> 00:41:28.320
 treated

00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:28.500
 the

00:41:28.500 --> 00:41:28.700
 false

00:41:28.700 --> 00:41:29.100
 prophets

00:41:29.100 --> 00:41:31.420
 you see

00:41:31.420 --> 00:41:31.900
 the only

00:41:31.900 --> 00:41:32.280
 way to

00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:32.640
 fit in

00:41:32.640 --> 00:41:32.960
 this world

00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:33.200
 is to

00:41:33.200 --> 00:41:33.440
 peddle

00:41:33.440 --> 00:41:33.600
 its

00:41:33.600 --> 00:41:34.059
 lies

00:41:34.059 --> 00:41:36.640
 and if

00:41:36.640 --> 00:41:37.000
 the world

00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:37.760
 rejects

00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:38.140
 Jesus

00:41:38.140 --> 00:41:38.640
 and yet

00:41:38.640 --> 00:41:39.200
 praises

00:41:39.200 --> 00:41:39.860
 you

00:41:39.860 --> 00:41:42.039
 then we've

00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:42.200
 got a

00:41:42.200 --> 00:41:42.460
 problem

00:41:42.460 --> 00:41:42.860
 with me

00:41:42.860 --> 00:41:44.840
 the danger

00:41:44.840 --> 00:41:45.100
 is we

00:41:45.100 --> 00:41:45.400
 might be

00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:45.580
 singing

00:41:45.580 --> 00:41:45.920
 from the

00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:46.300
 world's

00:41:46.300 --> 00:41:46.420
 hymn

00:41:46.420 --> 00:41:46.580
 book

00:41:46.580 --> 00:41:46.940
 and not

00:41:46.940 --> 00:41:47.480
 the

00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:48.019
 Lord's

00:41:48.019 --> 00:41:50.120
 the

00:41:50.120 --> 00:41:50.340
 false

00:41:50.340 --> 00:41:50.720
 prophets

00:41:50.720 --> 00:41:50.960
 do you

00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:51.200
 remember

00:41:51.200 --> 00:41:51.500
 what they

00:41:51.500 --> 00:41:51.700
 did

00:41:51.699 --> 00:41:51.899
 they

00:41:51.899 --> 00:41:52.059
 didn't

00:41:52.059 --> 00:41:52.439
 just

00:41:52.439 --> 00:41:54.879
 tell people

00:41:54.879 --> 00:41:55.159
 what they

00:41:55.159 --> 00:41:55.539
 wanted to

00:41:55.539 --> 00:41:55.779
 hear

00:41:55.779 --> 00:42:01.259
 what did

00:42:01.259 --> 00:42:01.519
 they do

00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:01.799
 they told

00:42:01.799 --> 00:42:02.159
 people what

00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:02.460
 they didn't

00:42:02.460 --> 00:42:02.679
 want to

00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:02.819
 hear

00:42:02.819 --> 00:42:03.000
 and it

00:42:03.000 --> 00:42:03.259
 made them

00:42:03.259 --> 00:42:03.619
 very

00:42:03.619 --> 00:42:04.199
 unpopular

00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:06.480
 but if

00:42:06.480 --> 00:42:07.039
 as preachers

00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:07.559
 we tell

00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:08.000
 people what

00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:08.299
 we want

00:42:08.299 --> 00:42:08.759
 to hear

00:42:08.759 --> 00:42:09.299
 it will

00:42:09.299 --> 00:42:09.679
 make us

00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:10.519
 very popular

00:42:10.519 --> 00:42:11.000
 now

00:42:11.000 --> 00:42:11.759
 but very

00:42:11.759 --> 00:42:12.079
 sad

00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:12.379
 forever

00:42:12.379 --> 00:42:12.799
 it is a

00:42:12.799 --> 00:42:13.079
 stark

00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:13.719
 contrast

00:42:13.719 --> 00:42:15.059
 and what

00:42:15.059 --> 00:42:15.480
 you and I

00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:15.799
 need to

00:42:15.799 --> 00:42:16.139
 remember

00:42:16.139 --> 00:42:16.579
 is this

00:42:16.579 --> 00:42:16.939
 Jesus

00:42:16.939 --> 00:42:17.439
 is speaking

00:42:17.439 --> 00:42:17.639
 to

00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:18.199
 disciples

00:42:18.199 --> 00:42:18.679
 at verse

00:42:18.679 --> 00:42:19.079
 20

00:42:19.079 --> 00:42:21.139
 it is

00:42:21.139 --> 00:42:21.480
 possible

00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:21.920
 to call

00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:22.159
 yourself

00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:22.679
 a Christian

00:42:22.679 --> 00:42:23.500
 and to

00:42:23.500 --> 00:42:23.779
 think that

00:42:23.779 --> 00:42:24.019
 you are

00:42:24.019 --> 00:42:24.460
 rich

00:42:24.460 --> 00:42:26.699
 and to

00:42:26.699 --> 00:42:26.940
 think that

00:42:26.940 --> 00:42:27.299
 you are

00:42:27.299 --> 00:42:28.739
 well fed

00:42:28.739 --> 00:42:29.159
 and to

00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:29.779
 laugh at

00:42:29.779 --> 00:42:30.500
 sin and

00:42:30.500 --> 00:42:30.719
 to be

00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:31.360
 spoken well

00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:31.679
 of

00:42:31.679 --> 00:42:33.279
 and this

00:42:33.279 --> 00:42:33.840
 morning only

00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:34.259
 you know

00:42:34.259 --> 00:42:34.579
 what your

00:42:34.579 --> 00:42:35.199
 heart is

00:42:35.199 --> 00:42:35.819
 like

00:42:35.819 --> 00:42:37.420
 and what

00:42:37.420 --> 00:42:37.779
 your life

00:42:37.779 --> 00:42:38.480
 feels like

00:42:38.480 --> 00:42:40.659
 and if you

00:42:40.659 --> 00:42:41.199
 are finding

00:42:41.199 --> 00:42:41.819
 Jesus

00:42:41.819 --> 00:42:42.279
 following

00:42:42.279 --> 00:42:42.639
 Jesus

00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:43.799
 dissatisfying

00:42:43.800 --> 00:42:45.120
 it may

00:42:45.120 --> 00:42:45.440
 well be

00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:45.720
 that you

00:42:45.720 --> 00:42:46.320
 are longing

00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:46.760
 for the

00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:47.060
 wrong

00:42:47.060 --> 00:42:47.820
 things

00:42:47.820 --> 00:42:49.800
 and you

00:42:49.800 --> 00:42:50.140
 are looking

00:42:50.140 --> 00:42:50.800
 for happiness

00:42:50.800 --> 00:42:51.500
 as the

00:42:51.500 --> 00:42:51.920
 world

00:42:51.920 --> 00:42:52.980
 defines it

00:42:52.980 --> 00:42:57.019
 not as

00:42:57.019 --> 00:42:57.580
 the word

00:42:57.580 --> 00:42:58.700
 defines it

00:42:58.700 --> 00:43:01.220
 and you

00:43:01.220 --> 00:43:01.620
 are focused

00:43:01.620 --> 00:43:02.260
 on you

00:43:02.260 --> 00:43:04.920
 and Jesus

00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:05.800
 says how

00:43:05.800 --> 00:43:06.539
 terrible

00:43:06.539 --> 00:43:07.800
 it will be

00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:08.340
 for you

00:43:08.340 --> 00:43:10.740
 because the

00:43:10.740 --> 00:43:11.500
 only way

00:43:11.500 --> 00:43:11.860
 to find

00:43:11.860 --> 00:43:12.300
 blessing

00:43:12.300 --> 00:43:12.900
 is to

00:43:12.900 --> 00:43:13.300
 live the

00:43:13.300 --> 00:43:14.019
 radical life

00:43:14.019 --> 00:43:14.460
 I've called

00:43:14.460 --> 00:43:14.820
 you to

00:43:14.820 --> 00:43:17.920
 it is

00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:18.680
 worth it

00:43:18.680 --> 00:43:22.080
 it is

00:43:22.080 --> 00:43:22.920
 worth it

00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:24.640
 Jesus

00:43:24.640 --> 00:43:24.960
 says if

00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:25.340
 you are a

00:43:25.340 --> 00:43:25.740
 member of

00:43:25.740 --> 00:43:26.260
 my kingdom

00:43:26.260 --> 00:43:26.860
 now

00:43:26.860 --> 00:43:28.740
 you will

00:43:28.740 --> 00:43:29.420
 know my

00:43:29.420 --> 00:43:29.940
 perfection

00:43:29.940 --> 00:43:30.500
 in my new

00:43:30.500 --> 00:43:30.900
 creation

00:43:30.900 --> 00:43:31.400
 forever

00:43:31.400 --> 00:43:33.880
 Christians

00:43:33.880 --> 00:43:35.860
 are ordinary

00:43:35.860 --> 00:43:36.420
 people

00:43:36.420 --> 00:43:40.220
 called by

00:43:40.220 --> 00:43:40.760
 a powerful

00:43:40.760 --> 00:43:41.180
 king

00:43:41.179 --> 00:43:43.319
 to lead

00:43:43.319 --> 00:43:43.759
 extraordinary

00:43:43.759 --> 00:43:44.239
 lives

00:43:44.239 --> 00:43:46.460
 and it's

00:43:46.460 --> 00:43:46.739
 not the

00:43:46.739 --> 00:43:47.319
 easy life

00:43:47.319 --> 00:43:49.639
 but neither

00:43:49.639 --> 00:43:49.980
 is it a

00:43:49.980 --> 00:43:50.279
 waste of

00:43:50.279 --> 00:43:50.559
 time

 let's pray
