00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.419
 That might help.

00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:03.800
 Okay.

00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:09.400
 Well, Christmas time has the power to bring peace, doesn't it?

00:00:10.120 --> 00:00:14.460
 I'm amazed how willing strangers are to talk to me at Christmas time

00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:17.179
 when any other time of year barriers are up.

00:00:17.580 --> 00:00:20.660
 But at Christmas, people seem to put them to the side

00:00:20.660 --> 00:00:22.160
 and they're willing to chat.

00:00:22.940 --> 00:00:26.519
 Neighbours down the road are much more willing to smile and give a wave,

00:00:26.780 --> 00:00:28.660
 maybe even pause to have a chat.

00:00:28.660 --> 00:00:32.179
 But going through the checkout at Woolies,

00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:36.439
 I have way more conversation than I do all year round.

00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:40.679
 And for the record, I'm not speaking to the self-checkout machine.

00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.980
 Driving on Christmas Day itself,

00:00:47.879 --> 00:00:51.700
 people flash their lights and beep their horns not out of road rage.

00:00:53.260 --> 00:00:55.500
 Christmas has the power to bring peace.

00:00:55.500 --> 00:01:01.100
 In the workplace, whatever frustrations have happened during the year,

00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:04.900
 people seem to put them aside and come together for the Christmas party.

00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:07.879
 It's a time of bonding, team bonding.

00:01:09.299 --> 00:01:13.439
 Even family often put long-standing arguments to the side

00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:17.060
 and go to great efforts to be together at Christmas.

00:01:17.060 --> 00:01:23.140
 Even on a world scale, Christmas can bring peace.

00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:29.740
 On Christmas Eve, through the Boxing Day in 1914, during World War I,

00:01:30.579 --> 00:01:34.920
 many of the British and German soldiers put down their guns

00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:36.739
 and put them to the side.

00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:42.040
 Trusting each other enough to meet in no man's land,

00:01:42.820 --> 00:01:48.500
 to greet each other, to exchange food and even play soccer, apparently.

00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:52.500
 I wish that became a Christmas tradition, to play soccer.

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:53.240
 I love soccer.

00:01:54.099 --> 00:01:55.400
 Cricket's pretty good as well.

00:01:57.780 --> 00:02:02.320
 Christmas time can even bring peace during war.

00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:04.619
 That's incredible.

00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:08.419
 We put aside our differences.

00:02:10.060 --> 00:02:13.900
 We put to one side our arguments, even our guns.

00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:19.280
 Christmas has the power to bring peace.

00:02:20.099 --> 00:02:20.859
 And it's wonderful.

00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.479
 But how long does it last?

00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:32.179
 Do strangers at the shops maintain their peace till the new year

00:02:32.179 --> 00:02:36.179
 or is it wrecked by the Boxing Day sales?

00:02:38.379 --> 00:02:41.500
 Does your family make it through the Christmas meal

00:02:41.500 --> 00:02:45.079
 before those arguments explode back onto the surface?

00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:52.739
 The guns broke the silence come December 27th in World War I

00:02:52.740 --> 00:02:55.100
 and the war blasted on for another four years.

00:02:57.260 --> 00:02:59.680
 Christmas does have the power to bring peace.

00:02:59.740 --> 00:03:00.400
 It really does.

00:03:00.540 --> 00:03:01.520
 And it's special for that.

00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:04.240
 But it's fragile.

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.340
 And it doesn't last.

00:03:07.340 --> 00:03:11.879
 And we all crave this peace, don't we?

00:03:13.060 --> 00:03:13.759
 I know I do.

00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:18.319
 We crave peace because life is so good

00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.980
 when in the home and in our world there is peace.

00:03:21.060 --> 00:03:22.420
 It is so sweet.

00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:29.300
 But putting our differences and arguments to the side for a few days

00:03:29.300 --> 00:03:31.960
 just doesn't get to the heart

00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:35.140
 of what's causing the division in the first place.

00:03:35.139 --> 00:03:40.679
 The very good news

00:03:40.679 --> 00:03:47.379
 that God's heavenly messengers proclaim when Jesus was born

00:03:47.379 --> 00:03:52.119
 is that the peace you crave, the peace we crave,

00:03:52.519 --> 00:03:55.799
 God promises to give and much more.

00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:02.679
 I just want to focus on those words of the angels in verse 14.

00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:16.000
 I want to say three quick things

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:20.040
 about this true and lasting peace that God offers you.

00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:24.480
 The first thing is that the main peace that you and I need

00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:25.939
 is peace with God.

00:04:27.740 --> 00:04:30.379
 When God's Son was born into the world,

00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:33.540
 God who dwells in the highest heaven

00:04:33.540 --> 00:04:36.439
 came near to us

00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:39.220
 so that we can know Him.

00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:42.980
 No one was expecting God Himself to come.

00:04:43.820 --> 00:04:44.340
 No one.

00:04:44.339 --> 00:04:46.039
 No one was seeking God

00:04:46.039 --> 00:04:48.019
 but He came to us.

00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:50.519
 This gap

00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:52.659
 needed to be bridged

00:04:52.659 --> 00:04:54.759
 but God doesn't demand you

00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:56.199
 to become a better person

00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:57.459
 before He will talk to you.

00:04:59.259 --> 00:04:59.799
 Christmas

00:04:59.799 --> 00:05:02.319
 is celebrating that God

00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:03.620
 came to us

00:05:03.620 --> 00:05:04.979
 and bridged that gap.

00:05:04.980 --> 00:05:11.500
 Have you seen the movie Lion?

00:05:13.060 --> 00:05:14.740
 Big spoiler alert here.

00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:16.780
 The only time in the talk

00:05:16.780 --> 00:05:19.040
 you can put fingers in your ears

00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:21.220
 if you don't want the movie to be spoiled

00:05:21.220 --> 00:05:22.420
 because I'm going to give the whole plot.

00:05:24.640 --> 00:05:25.680
 I love the movie.

00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:26.660
 It's a powerful movie.

00:05:27.020 --> 00:05:28.819
 It's based on a true story

00:05:28.819 --> 00:05:32.620
 of Saru Brearley

00:05:32.620 --> 00:05:34.699
 who was born in India

00:05:34.699 --> 00:05:37.300
 but was accidentally separated

00:05:37.300 --> 00:05:38.860
 from his family

00:05:38.860 --> 00:05:40.379
 when he was only five years old.

00:05:41.620 --> 00:05:43.100
 Later he was adopted

00:05:43.100 --> 00:05:44.699
 by Australian parents

00:05:44.699 --> 00:05:46.439
 and grew up in Tasmania.

00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:48.800
 Now even though

00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:50.480
 he had a loving family

00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:51.319
 in Australia,

00:05:52.420 --> 00:05:54.159
 even though he did well at school

00:05:54.159 --> 00:05:55.219
 and got into uni,

00:05:55.620 --> 00:05:57.000
 even though he had friends

00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:57.759
 and a girlfriend,

00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.360
 during his twenties

00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:00.699
 he was still restless

00:06:00.699 --> 00:06:01.740
 on the inside.

00:06:02.779 --> 00:06:05.219
 He didn't have any peace inside

00:06:05.219 --> 00:06:07.099
 not knowing who he was.

00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:10.800
 So driven

00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:12.579
 was he to find

00:06:12.579 --> 00:06:13.800
 his biological mum.

00:06:14.219 --> 00:06:15.500
 He devoted himself

00:06:15.500 --> 00:06:17.500
 to scanning Google Earth

00:06:17.500 --> 00:06:18.539
 online

00:06:18.539 --> 00:06:20.680
 all over India

00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:22.259
 which is no small place.

00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:24.300
 All he had was memories

00:06:24.300 --> 00:06:25.599
 of these landmarks

00:06:25.599 --> 00:06:26.699
 that he was searching for.

00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:30.039
 He spent months

00:06:30.039 --> 00:06:31.000
 searching

00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.620
 and against the odds

00:06:34.620 --> 00:06:35.399
 he found it.

00:06:36.019 --> 00:06:37.719
 He found those landmarks

00:06:37.719 --> 00:06:40.279
 and he travels

00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:41.279
 across the world

00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.139
 and the moment comes

00:06:44.139 --> 00:06:46.060
 when he is reunited

00:06:46.060 --> 00:06:46.959
 with his mum

00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:47.659
 and his sister.

00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:50.279
 It's a powerful moment.

00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:56.059
 When it comes

00:06:56.059 --> 00:06:57.639
 to our relationship

00:06:57.639 --> 00:06:58.219
 with God

00:06:58.219 --> 00:07:00.139
 we all have

00:07:00.139 --> 00:07:00.719
 a deep

00:07:00.719 --> 00:07:01.619
 inner

00:07:01.619 --> 00:07:02.799
 restlessness

00:07:02.799 --> 00:07:05.879
 that can only

00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:06.559
 be satisfied

00:07:06.559 --> 00:07:07.779
 when we are reunited

00:07:07.779 --> 00:07:08.399
 with God.

00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:10.239
 Nothing else

00:07:10.239 --> 00:07:11.099
 will satisfy it.

00:07:14.779 --> 00:07:16.319
 But unlike Saru

00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:18.319
 it's not us

00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:19.379
 searching for God.

00:07:19.379 --> 00:07:22.379
 our lack

00:07:22.379 --> 00:07:22.860
 of searching

00:07:22.860 --> 00:07:23.759
 is part of the problem.

00:07:25.459 --> 00:07:26.639
 The good news

00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:27.120
 of Jesus

00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:27.879
 coming to Earth

00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:28.480
 is that God

00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:29.439
 humbled himself

00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:30.779
 to search for you.

00:07:34.980 --> 00:07:36.519
 The main peace

00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:38.120
 that your heart

00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:39.060
 and my heart

00:07:39.060 --> 00:07:39.459
 needs

00:07:39.459 --> 00:07:40.060
 is to be

00:07:40.060 --> 00:07:40.959
 reunited

00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:41.680
 with God.

00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:44.480
 Second,

00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:46.159
 God gives us peace

00:07:46.159 --> 00:07:47.019
 not by putting

00:07:47.019 --> 00:07:47.680
 our differences

00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:48.779
 to one side

00:07:48.779 --> 00:07:50.560
 but by dealing

00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:51.219
 with the problem

00:07:51.219 --> 00:07:51.779
 that stands

00:07:51.779 --> 00:07:52.500
 between us.

00:07:54.899 --> 00:07:55.659
 I don't know

00:07:55.659 --> 00:07:56.060
 about you

00:07:56.060 --> 00:07:57.560
 but I'm going

00:07:57.560 --> 00:07:57.979
 to assume

00:07:57.979 --> 00:07:58.439
 you're similar

00:07:58.439 --> 00:07:58.740
 to me.

00:07:58.819 --> 00:07:59.319
 There's certain

00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:00.500
 topics in our

00:08:00.500 --> 00:08:01.240
 families that

00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:02.180
 we all kind of

00:08:02.180 --> 00:08:02.819
 agree that

00:08:02.819 --> 00:08:04.219
 you just don't

00:08:04.219 --> 00:08:04.819
 talk about.

00:08:06.159 --> 00:08:07.019
 If anyone

00:08:07.019 --> 00:08:07.639
 even comes

00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:08.599
 close to that

00:08:08.599 --> 00:08:08.939
 topic

00:08:08.939 --> 00:08:10.019
 the tension

00:08:10.019 --> 00:08:10.859
 in the room

00:08:10.859 --> 00:08:12.139
 just builds

00:08:12.139 --> 00:08:13.240
 until it

00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:14.199
 either explodes

00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:14.860
 or someone

00:08:14.860 --> 00:08:15.639
 makes a joke

00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:17.079
 to move

00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:17.699
 the conversation

00:08:17.699 --> 00:08:18.099
 on.

00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:21.240
 But God

00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:21.659
 has a very

00:08:21.659 --> 00:08:22.419
 different way

00:08:22.419 --> 00:08:22.860
 of making

00:08:22.860 --> 00:08:23.339
 peace.

00:08:24.459 --> 00:08:25.240
 He doesn't

00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:25.860
 ignore our

00:08:25.860 --> 00:08:26.199
 differences.

00:08:26.779 --> 00:08:27.439
 He takes

00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:27.919
 on our

00:08:27.919 --> 00:08:28.279
 differences

00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:29.159
 himself.

00:08:31.060 --> 00:08:31.899
 Born as a

00:08:31.899 --> 00:08:32.460
 human being

00:08:32.460 --> 00:08:33.360
 he deals

00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:33.720
 with the

00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:34.159
 barriers

00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:34.939
 to peace.

00:08:34.940 --> 00:08:37.820
 He doesn't

00:08:37.820 --> 00:08:38.500
 just leave

00:08:38.500 --> 00:08:39.280
 us in

00:08:39.280 --> 00:08:39.740
 ignorance

00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:40.300
 of what

00:08:40.300 --> 00:08:40.700
 God is

00:08:40.700 --> 00:08:41.080
 like

00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:41.500
 but he

00:08:41.500 --> 00:08:42.020
 becomes a

00:08:42.020 --> 00:08:42.940
 human being

00:08:42.940 --> 00:08:44.540
 so that

00:08:44.540 --> 00:08:44.940
 when you

00:08:44.940 --> 00:08:45.400
 read the

00:08:45.400 --> 00:08:45.880
 story of

00:08:45.880 --> 00:08:46.160
 Jesus

00:08:46.160 --> 00:08:46.860
 you can

00:08:46.860 --> 00:08:47.980
 see God

00:08:47.980 --> 00:08:48.600
 in action

00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:50.280
 so that

00:08:50.280 --> 00:08:50.520
 you can

00:08:50.520 --> 00:08:50.820
 get to

00:08:50.820 --> 00:08:51.240
 know him.

00:08:53.420 --> 00:08:54.160
 He doesn't

00:08:54.160 --> 00:08:55.600
 just overlook

00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:56.820
 our

00:08:56.820 --> 00:08:57.420
 offenses

00:08:57.420 --> 00:08:59.620
 the things

00:08:59.620 --> 00:08:59.960
 that we've

00:08:59.960 --> 00:09:00.420
 done that

00:09:00.420 --> 00:09:00.920
 have offended

00:09:00.920 --> 00:09:01.360
 God

00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.440
 but Jesus

00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:04.380
 himself

00:09:04.379 --> 00:09:05.279
 deals

00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:05.700
 with that

00:09:05.700 --> 00:09:06.159
 offense

00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:07.820
 when later

00:09:07.820 --> 00:09:09.139
 as a

00:09:09.139 --> 00:09:09.600
 man

00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:10.720
 he chooses

00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:11.299
 to die

00:09:11.299 --> 00:09:11.539
 on a

00:09:11.539 --> 00:09:11.879
 cross.

00:09:14.899 --> 00:09:15.460
 Jesus

00:09:15.460 --> 00:09:16.100
 alone

00:09:16.100 --> 00:09:16.539
 can give

00:09:16.539 --> 00:09:16.939
 you peace

00:09:16.939 --> 00:09:17.419
 because he

00:09:17.419 --> 00:09:18.000
 doesn't put

00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:18.600
 the barriers

00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:19.139
 to peace

00:09:19.139 --> 00:09:19.559
 to one

00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:19.980
 side

00:09:19.980 --> 00:09:20.980
 he deals

00:09:20.980 --> 00:09:21.320
 with them

00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:21.860
 himself.

00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:23.960
 He takes

00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:24.399
 them on.

00:09:27.139 --> 00:09:28.019
 The last

00:09:28.019 --> 00:09:28.379
 thing I want

00:09:28.379 --> 00:09:28.659
 to say

00:09:28.659 --> 00:09:29.139
 about this

00:09:29.139 --> 00:09:29.519
 peace

00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:31.860
 is that

00:09:31.860 --> 00:09:32.259
 when we

00:09:32.259 --> 00:09:33.200
 appreciate

00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:33.960
 God's

00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:34.440
 love

00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:35.259
 in sending

00:09:35.259 --> 00:09:35.740
 Jesus

00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:36.259
 to give

00:09:36.259 --> 00:09:36.620
 us this

00:09:36.620 --> 00:09:37.019
 peace

00:09:37.019 --> 00:09:38.820
 when we

00:09:38.820 --> 00:09:39.440
 love that

00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:39.800
 when we

00:09:39.800 --> 00:09:40.280
 cherish

00:09:40.280 --> 00:09:40.620
 it

00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:42.639
 that's

00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:43.280
 the very

00:09:43.280 --> 00:09:43.960
 power

00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:45.639
 to bring

00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:46.580
 true and

00:09:46.580 --> 00:09:47.100
 lasting

00:09:47.100 --> 00:09:47.580
 peace

00:09:47.580 --> 00:09:48.040
 into our

00:09:48.040 --> 00:09:48.540
 families

00:09:48.540 --> 00:09:49.000
 and into

00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:49.180
 our

00:09:49.180 --> 00:09:49.620
 world.

00:09:52.300 --> 00:09:53.080
 Let me

00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:53.540
 ask you

00:09:53.540 --> 00:09:55.840
 what

00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:56.379
 difference

00:09:56.379 --> 00:09:56.960
 do you

00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:57.500
 think

00:09:57.500 --> 00:09:58.120
 it would

00:09:58.120 --> 00:09:58.560
 make

00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:00.500
 if in

00:10:00.500 --> 00:10:00.679
 your

00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:01.219
 family

00:10:01.219 --> 00:10:01.839
 and in

00:10:01.839 --> 00:10:01.979
 the

00:10:01.979 --> 00:10:02.359
 world

00:10:02.359 --> 00:10:04.179
 instead

00:10:04.179 --> 00:10:04.479
 of

00:10:04.479 --> 00:10:05.019
 fighting

00:10:05.019 --> 00:10:06.199
 and

00:10:06.199 --> 00:10:06.619
 instead

00:10:06.619 --> 00:10:06.839
 of

00:10:06.839 --> 00:10:07.399
 pretending

00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:07.739
 the

00:10:07.739 --> 00:10:08.139
 differences

00:10:08.139 --> 00:10:08.500
 aren't

00:10:08.500 --> 00:10:08.779
 there

00:10:08.779 --> 00:10:10.139
 what

00:10:10.139 --> 00:10:10.519
 difference

00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:10.879
 do you

00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:11.099
 think

00:10:11.099 --> 00:10:11.299
 it would

00:10:11.299 --> 00:10:11.659
 make

00:10:11.659 --> 00:10:12.839
 if

00:10:12.839 --> 00:10:13.419
 people

00:10:13.419 --> 00:10:15.059
 humbled

00:10:15.059 --> 00:10:15.679
 themselves

00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:17.899
 even to

00:10:17.899 --> 00:10:18.339
 the point

00:10:18.339 --> 00:10:19.259
 of losing

00:10:19.259 --> 00:10:20.219
 out

00:10:20.219 --> 00:10:21.599
 themselves

00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:23.080
 because they

00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:23.759
 want peace

00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:24.399
 so much

00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:30.159
 what

00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:30.639
 difference

00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:30.920
 do you

00:10:30.920 --> 00:10:31.240
 think it

00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:31.680
 would make

00:10:31.680 --> 00:10:32.899
 if we

00:10:32.899 --> 00:10:33.519
 loved

00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:34.220
 God's

00:10:34.220 --> 00:10:34.580
 way of

00:10:34.580 --> 00:10:34.960
 peace

00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:36.860
 I think

00:10:36.860 --> 00:10:37.060
 it would

00:10:37.060 --> 00:10:37.480
 make all

00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:37.600
 the

00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:37.840
 difference

00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:38.060
 in the

00:10:38.060 --> 00:10:38.300
 world

00:10:38.300 --> 00:10:42.980
 glory

00:10:42.980 --> 00:10:43.780
 to God

00:10:43.780 --> 00:10:44.720
 in the

00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:45.100
 highest

00:10:45.100 --> 00:10:45.400
 heaven

00:10:45.400 --> 00:10:47.160
 and on

00:10:47.160 --> 00:10:47.540
 earth

00:10:47.540 --> 00:10:48.259
 peace

00:10:48.259 --> 00:10:49.100
 among

00:10:49.100 --> 00:10:49.540
 those

00:10:49.540 --> 00:10:50.040
 with whom

00:10:50.040 --> 00:10:50.400
 he is

00:10:50.400 --> 00:10:50.860
 pleased

00:10:50.860 --> 00:10:53.320
 this is

00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:53.540
 good

00:10:53.540 --> 00:10:54.000
 news

00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:57.379
 the

00:10:57.379 --> 00:10:57.860
 person

00:10:57.860 --> 00:10:58.300
 God is

00:10:58.300 --> 00:10:58.639
 pleased

00:10:58.639 --> 00:10:58.920
 with

00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:01.259

00:11:01.259 --> 00:11:02.120
 craves

00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:03.160
 true

00:11:03.160 --> 00:11:03.360
 and

00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:03.700
 lasting

00:11:03.700 --> 00:11:04.160
 peace

00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:04.199
 peace

00:11:04.199 --> 00:11:05.959
 it's

00:11:33.259 --> 00:11:33.579
 God

00:11:33.580 --> 00:11:36.420

 2020

00:11:42.860 --> 00:11:43.680
 you

00:11:43.680 --> 00:11:47.200
 it's
