00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.839
 If you will please take out your copy of God's Word and join me in Colossians chapter 1.

00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:19.160
 An astute observer would note that this morning on your bulletin says that I'll be preaching a sermon on Hebrews chapter 2 verses 11 through 16.

00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:23.280
 And that was correct up until 5 a.m. this morning.

00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:36.280
 So, the prominent theme of the book of Hebrews, which we are working through together normally on Sunday morning,

00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:41.540
 is the supremacy and the finality of Jesus Christ.

00:00:42.540 --> 00:00:51.200
 The letter written to the Hebrews by an unsure author, but a man certainly who was pastoral toward them,

00:00:51.200 --> 00:01:01.200
 was written to a group of Hellenistic Jews who likely had been expelled from the Roman center and are living out on the outskirts.

00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:10.800
 Likely a small group, likely a group huddled together in a home, opening up this letter to read it,

00:01:10.900 --> 00:01:13.760
 and they had been tried.

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:19.040
 They had been hated for their devotion to Jesus Christ.

00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.740
 And we pick up on that as a secondary theme of the text.

00:01:23.980 --> 00:01:27.920
 That he's writing to these Christians to say to them,

00:01:28.620 --> 00:01:30.840
 Jesus is the superior way.

00:01:31.820 --> 00:01:39.540
 Don't be tempted in the midst of suffering to go back to Judaism or to turn to any of the Roman gods.

00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.760
 Christ is supreme and He is final.

00:01:43.880 --> 00:01:46.940
 He's the ultimate and final sacrifice.

00:01:46.939 --> 00:01:51.780
 Christ is the way that we are made right with God.

00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:53.959
 So, we're going to see this theme.

00:01:54.039 --> 00:01:58.299
 We're going to see it picked up again and again and again throughout the book.

00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:04.719
 And we are in the thick of it already here in Hebrews chapter 2.

00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:16.099
 And I just want another week to work out the implications of verses 11 through 16 and then probably on into verses 17 and 18 next week.

00:02:17.099 --> 00:02:24.979
 But, I do want us to also consider this idea of Christian suffering.

00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:31.939
 I want to take a little more time on it and then we'll dive into Hebrews 2 again next week, Lord willing.

00:02:31.939 --> 00:02:36.599
 To stop and to think in our American context.

00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:40.300
 Are we called as Christians to suffer?

00:02:41.060 --> 00:02:42.900
 And what does that look like?

00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:52.280
 We are sold often a bill of prosperity in our country as Christ followers.

00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:56.699
 And it is not the biblical gospel.

00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.759
 So, it's good for us to take some time to consider that.

00:03:02.900 --> 00:03:09.639
 In fact, most of my work this week was writing a massive introduction to that very end to get into the text.

00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.659
 And so, this will be a bit of an introduction in that way.

00:03:13.659 --> 00:03:21.419
 So, I want to look today at Colossians chapter 1 verses 24 through 27.

00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:27.900
 And before I read it, I want to remind you, beloved, that this is God's Word to us.

00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.199
 It was written for His glory and for our good.

00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:40.500
 We would all do well to listen to it in order to believe its promises and obey its commands.

00:03:40.500 --> 00:03:43.139
 And Paul writes to the church.

00:03:44.340 --> 00:03:44.900
 Colossae.

00:03:45.780 --> 00:03:50.020
 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake.

00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:57.319
 And in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of His body.

00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:59.319
 That is, the church.

00:03:59.819 --> 00:04:05.000
 Of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you.

00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.159
 To make the Word of God fully known.

00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:14.099
 The mystery hidden for ages and generations, but now revealed to His saints.

00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:21.519
 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery,

00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:25.819
 which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:31.480
 Now there is so much good in these four verses.

00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:35.259
 There is so much to be mined out of them.

00:04:35.259 --> 00:04:40.539
 But, this morning I just have two points.

00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:45.219
 And they are, number one, the aim of Paul's ministry.

00:04:45.579 --> 00:04:48.339
 What was Paul working to accomplish?

00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:49.980
 The aim of his ministry.

00:04:50.420 --> 00:04:56.039
 And number two, the means of Paul's ministry.

00:04:56.040 --> 00:05:03.040
 So first, the aim of Paul's ministry.

00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.100
 We see this worked out throughout the text.

00:05:06.640 --> 00:05:16.320
 He became a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ to make the Word of God fully known.

00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:24.599
 He says in verse 26, it's the mystery hidden for ages and generations, but now revealed to His saints.

00:05:25.099 --> 00:05:33.800
 Jesus Christ Himself, verse 27, Christ in you, the hope of glory.

00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:44.600
 Paul is aimed at God's purpose in the world, which is to make Christ known amongst all peoples everywhere.

00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:52.860
 The purpose of God in history is that the gospel of reconciliation spread to all the peoples of the world

00:05:52.860 --> 00:05:57.280
 and yield God-centered, Christ-exalting churches.

00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:59.660
 This is what he's working toward.

00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:02.340
 You want to know, what is God's purpose in the world?

00:06:02.339 --> 00:06:03.099
 It's this.

00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:10.359
 The gospel of reconciliation spread to all peoples of the world and yield God-centered, Christ-exalting churches.

00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.159
 People for His praise.

00:06:14.459 --> 00:06:17.479
 This was the promise of the Old Testament.

00:06:18.859 --> 00:06:23.539
 Psalm 22, verse 27 and 28 says,

00:06:23.539 --> 00:06:28.620
 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord,

00:06:28.620 --> 00:06:32.660
 and all the families of the nations shall worship before you.

00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:38.379
 For kingship belongs to the Lord and He rules over the nations.

00:06:39.379 --> 00:06:43.879
 This was the promise of Jesus to His disciples.

00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:47.920
 Matthew 24, verse 14, Jesus says,

00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:55.019
 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations,

00:06:55.019 --> 00:06:57.879
 and then the end will come.

00:06:59.359 --> 00:07:02.759
 This was the design of God in the cross.

00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:07.659
 As heaven's worship proclaims in Revelation 5 and verse 9,

00:07:07.659 --> 00:07:16.959
 You were slain, and by Your blood You ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.

00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:27.939
 This was the final command of our risen Lord found in Matthew 28, verse 18 and following.

00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:29.419
 He says,

00:07:29.420 --> 00:07:56.540
 This was the God-given aim of Paul's apostleship.

00:07:56.540 --> 00:08:00.860
 Romans 1, verse 5, Paul writes,

00:08:00.960 --> 00:08:07.460
 Through Christ we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith

00:08:07.460 --> 00:08:12.640
 for the sake of His name, Christ's name, among all the nations.

00:08:14.100 --> 00:08:17.000
 This was Paul's holy ambition,

00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.980
 rooted not just in a unique apostolic call,

00:08:20.980 --> 00:08:26.660
 but also in the Old Testament promise that is still valid today.

00:08:27.460 --> 00:08:29.560
 In Romans 15, verse 20 and 21,

00:08:29.980 --> 00:08:33.940
 where he cites Isaiah 52 and verse 15,

00:08:34.460 --> 00:08:34.960
 Paul writes,

00:08:35.060 --> 00:08:37.620
 I make it my ambition to preach the gospel,

00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:40.500
 not where Christ has already been named,

00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:42.960
 lest I build on someone else's foundation,

00:08:43.539 --> 00:08:45.019
 but as it is written,

00:08:45.019 --> 00:08:48.840
 those who have never been told of Him will see,

00:08:49.319 --> 00:08:52.960
 and those who have never heard will understand.

00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:57.100
 Also in Acts 13, verse 47,

00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:01.159
 where Isaiah 42, verse 6 is cited,

00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:04.199
 So the Lord has commanded us, saying,

00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:06.919
 I have made you a light for the Gentiles,

00:09:06.980 --> 00:09:11.340
 that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.

00:09:11.340 --> 00:09:16.399
 Beloved, this was the purpose of the sending of the Holy Spirit.

00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:19.440
 In Acts 1, verse 8, Jesus says,

00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:22.720
 You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you,

00:09:22.920 --> 00:09:25.040
 and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem,

00:09:25.300 --> 00:09:27.000
 and in all Judea and Samaria,

00:09:27.180 --> 00:09:30.379
 and to the end of the earth.

00:09:31.680 --> 00:09:35.220
 Again, the purpose of God in history

00:09:35.220 --> 00:09:37.620
 is that the gospel of reconciliation

00:09:37.620 --> 00:09:40.360
 spread to all the peoples of the world

00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:44.659
 and yield God-centered, Christ-exalting churches.

00:09:45.419 --> 00:09:46.740
 This was the aim.

00:09:46.820 --> 00:09:49.019
 This was the work of Paul

00:09:49.019 --> 00:09:51.200
 in the establishment of the Church of Colossae,

00:09:51.899 --> 00:09:52.960
 and in this church,

00:09:53.700 --> 00:09:55.120
 Paul's ministry necessarily,

00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:56.019
 some would argue it is.

00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:56.820
 We're not sure.

00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:00.019
 But this church that the book of Hebrews is written to

00:10:00.019 --> 00:10:03.379
 that we are in the midst of studying now,

00:10:03.379 --> 00:10:09.039
 that all peoples everywhere would hear the gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:11.939
 This is Paul's aim,

00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:15.139
 and it is ours as well.

00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:22.000
 Secondly, the means of Paul's ministry.

00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:25.899
 Paul says this very peculiar thing

00:10:25.899 --> 00:10:29.220
 at the beginning of verse 24 in Colossians chapter 1.

00:10:29.220 --> 00:10:30.980
 He says,

00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:33.000
 Now I rejoice.

00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:41.300
 I find great joy in my sufferings for your sake,

00:10:41.700 --> 00:10:45.300
 and in my flesh I am filling up

00:10:45.300 --> 00:10:48.680
 what is lacking in Christ's afflictions

00:10:48.680 --> 00:10:53.019
 for the sake of His body, that is, the church.

00:10:54.060 --> 00:10:56.000
 The suffering of Paul

00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:00.200
 was not a consequence of His ministry,

00:11:00.820 --> 00:11:04.600
 but rather a strategy of it.

00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:07.220
 If it's clear in your mind,

00:11:07.580 --> 00:11:10.740
 it was not a consequence of His ministry.

00:11:11.580 --> 00:11:12.700
 And what I'm saying to you is

00:11:12.700 --> 00:11:14.440
 it wasn't an avoidable thing.

00:11:15.059 --> 00:11:17.519
 It wasn't a consequence of what He was doing.

00:11:17.740 --> 00:11:19.460
 It was a strategy of it.

00:11:19.460 --> 00:11:23.120
 It was part and parcel of His ministry.

00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:26.580
 Suffering was a primary means

00:11:26.580 --> 00:11:27.980
 by which Paul spread

00:11:27.980 --> 00:11:29.679
 the gospel of reconciliation

00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:31.679
 to all peoples of the world

00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:33.620
 in order to yield God-centered,

00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:36.179
 Christ-exalting churches.

00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:38.000
 And beloved,

00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:40.299
 nothing has changed.

00:11:41.740 --> 00:11:43.240
 If you believe that it has,

00:11:43.299 --> 00:11:44.039
 then you have failed

00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:47.139
 to believe the gospel rightly.

00:11:48.299 --> 00:11:51.360
 It is the error of much modern preaching,

00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:56.120
 and it is akin to the prosperity gospel

00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.460
 that would say,

00:11:59.340 --> 00:12:01.120
 rather believe in Jesus

00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:04.600
 and He will make you wealthy and healthy.

00:12:05.779 --> 00:12:07.279
 That's prosperity gospel.

00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:09.120
 And so many of us so quickly

00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:10.639
 and readily reject that.

00:12:11.139 --> 00:12:14.580
 But this more subversive prosperity gospel says,

00:12:14.580 --> 00:12:15.700
 believe in Jesus

00:12:15.700 --> 00:12:18.740
 and you can keep your wealth

00:12:18.740 --> 00:12:19.800
 and your health.

00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:22.199
 He may not make you that,

00:12:22.299 --> 00:12:24.059
 but what you have is still yours.

00:12:24.219 --> 00:12:26.199
 Add a little Jesus to the mix.

00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:30.479
 And change isn't really necessary

00:12:30.479 --> 00:12:32.819
 to follow Jesus.

00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:36.439
 Beloved, the way of Jesus

00:12:36.439 --> 00:12:39.500
 is the way of suffering.

00:12:40.719 --> 00:12:43.019
 If we are to follow Christ,

00:12:43.019 --> 00:12:47.319
 then we will suffer in this world.

00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:50.480
 And that is a broad suffering.

00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:52.520
 There's a lot that's involved

00:12:52.520 --> 00:12:54.680
 in such suffering.

00:12:55.440 --> 00:13:00.620
 We will have trouble in this world.

00:13:02.580 --> 00:13:06.200
 Let's look at the call of the gospel

00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:08.640
 of Jesus Christ a bit together.

00:13:10.300 --> 00:13:11.660
 Jesus said in Mark 8,

00:13:11.800 --> 00:13:13.400
 verse 34 and 35,

00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:15.279
 if anyone would come after me,

00:13:15.899 --> 00:13:17.259
 if we're going to follow Jesus,

00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:18.659
 Jesus says,

00:13:19.899 --> 00:13:21.759
 let him deny himself

00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:24.240
 and take up his cross

00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:25.879
 and follow me.

00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:28.579
 For whoever would save his life

00:13:28.579 --> 00:13:29.299
 will lose it.

00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:30.799
 But whoever loses his life

00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:32.559
 for my sake and the gospels

00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:34.639
 will save it.

00:13:36.379 --> 00:13:38.679
 Beloved, the cross is a place of death.

00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:40.779
 The cross is a place

00:13:40.779 --> 00:13:42.939
 where we put aside ourselves

00:13:42.939 --> 00:13:45.779
 for the greater walk

00:13:45.779 --> 00:13:47.299
 of following Jesus.

00:13:47.959 --> 00:13:50.219
 It's where we begin to reorient

00:13:50.219 --> 00:13:52.899
 who we are toward Him.

00:13:54.079 --> 00:13:55.659
 It's where we treasure Him

00:13:55.659 --> 00:13:56.919
 above all else,

00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:58.159
 come what may,

00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:00.979
 because we have Christ.

00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:05.759
 Matthew 10, verse 16.

00:14:06.819 --> 00:14:07.279
 Jesus says,

00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:10.019
 Behold, I am sending you out

00:14:10.019 --> 00:14:13.039
 as sheep in the midst of wolves.

00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:17.179
 Romans 8, verse 36.

00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.500
 Paul here cites Psalm 44, verse 22,

00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:22.179
 where he says,

00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:23.159
 As it is written,

00:14:23.299 --> 00:14:24.360
 for your sake,

00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:25.959
 we are being killed

00:14:25.959 --> 00:14:27.339
 all the day long.

00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:30.139
 We are regarded as sheep

00:14:30.139 --> 00:14:32.059
 to be slaughtered.

00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:33.699
 And if you look just before that

00:14:33.699 --> 00:14:35.539
 in Romans 8, verse 35,

00:14:35.539 --> 00:14:37.679
 the portion granted

00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:39.399
 to those who are in Christ

00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:41.659
 is tribulation, distress,

00:14:42.319 --> 00:14:44.199
 persecution, famine,

00:14:44.719 --> 00:14:48.099
 nakedness, danger, and sword.

00:14:48.100 --> 00:14:53.860
 Jesus goes on in Matthew 10.

00:14:53.860 --> 00:14:55.620
 I just read to you verse 16.

00:14:55.920 --> 00:14:57.480
 This is verse 17.

00:14:57.740 --> 00:14:58.680
 And following,

00:15:00.040 --> 00:15:01.019
 Beware of men,

00:15:01.180 --> 00:15:02.480
 for they will deliver you

00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:03.840
 over to courts

00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:06.360
 and flog you in their synagogues.

00:15:06.740 --> 00:15:07.759
 And you will be dragged

00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:09.580
 before governors and kings

00:15:09.580 --> 00:15:11.300
 for my sake.

00:15:11.680 --> 00:15:12.240
 Why?

00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:14.019
 to bear witness

00:15:14.019 --> 00:15:15.700
 before them

00:15:15.700 --> 00:15:17.360
 and the Gentiles.

00:15:18.100 --> 00:15:19.080
 That people would know

00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.360
 that I am the Christ.

00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:25.720
 Which leads us to this

00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:26.960
 interesting thing

00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:28.360
 that Paul says,

00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:29.539
 In my flesh,

00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:31.139
 I am filling up

00:15:31.139 --> 00:15:32.180
 what is lacking

00:15:32.180 --> 00:15:35.820
 in Christ's afflictions.

00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:38.259
 We must be very careful

00:15:38.259 --> 00:15:38.799
 at this point

00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:39.600
 to not think

00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:40.860
 that the affliction

00:15:40.860 --> 00:15:42.019
 of the saints

00:15:42.019 --> 00:15:43.120
 is somehow

00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:45.080
 salvific.

00:15:45.740 --> 00:15:47.040
 That our suffering

00:15:47.040 --> 00:15:49.200
 has anything to do

00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:50.360
 with the remediation

00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:51.259
 of sin.

00:15:52.100 --> 00:15:53.960
 I do not atone

00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:55.779
 for anybody's sin

00:15:55.779 --> 00:15:57.220
 in my suffering.

00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:58.159
 Christ did that.

00:15:58.279 --> 00:15:59.399
 Christ accomplished that.

00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:01.279
 His death was perfect

00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:02.120
 to accomplish

00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:03.940
 that work.

00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:05.820
 Here are some examples

00:16:05.820 --> 00:16:07.700
 from the book of Hebrews.

00:16:07.700 --> 00:16:08.259
 We are going to see

00:16:08.259 --> 00:16:09.520
 this theme again

00:16:09.520 --> 00:16:10.000
 and again

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:11.320
 in our study as well.

00:16:11.800 --> 00:16:12.840
 Hebrews chapter 7

00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:13.780
 and verse 27.

00:16:14.300 --> 00:16:15.080
 He, being Christ,

00:16:15.160 --> 00:16:16.040
 has no need

00:16:16.040 --> 00:16:17.580
 like those high priests

00:16:17.580 --> 00:16:19.840
 to offer sacrifices daily

00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:21.540
 first for his own sins

00:16:21.540 --> 00:16:22.120
 and then for those

00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:22.560
 of the people

00:16:22.560 --> 00:16:23.620
 since he did this

00:16:23.620 --> 00:16:25.580
 once for all

00:16:25.580 --> 00:16:26.600
 when he offered up

00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:27.520
 himself.

00:16:28.980 --> 00:16:30.040
 So we are not

00:16:30.040 --> 00:16:31.960
 sacrifices in that way.

00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:33.759
 Hebrews chapter 9

00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:34.400
 and verse 12.

00:16:34.540 --> 00:16:35.140
 Jesus entered

00:16:35.140 --> 00:16:36.080
 once for all

00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:37.259
 into the holy places.

00:16:37.259 --> 00:16:38.720
 not by means

00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:39.100
 of the blood

00:16:39.100 --> 00:16:40.000
 of goats and calves

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:40.539
 but by means

00:16:40.539 --> 00:16:42.480
 of his own blood.

00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:42.980
 Thus,

00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:44.100
 securing

00:16:44.100 --> 00:16:45.860
 an eternal

00:16:45.860 --> 00:16:47.319
 redemption.

00:16:48.700 --> 00:16:49.580
 Having paid

00:16:49.580 --> 00:16:51.179
 for all of the sins

00:16:51.179 --> 00:16:51.639
 of the church

00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:52.500
 in his

00:16:52.500 --> 00:16:53.860
 suffering.

00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:56.340
 Hebrews chapter 9

00:16:56.340 --> 00:16:57.659
 and verse 26.

00:16:57.860 --> 00:16:59.179
 The second part of it.

00:16:59.240 --> 00:16:59.559
 Jesus

00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:01.179
 has appeared

00:17:01.179 --> 00:17:03.220
 once for all

00:17:03.220 --> 00:17:03.980
 at the end

00:17:03.980 --> 00:17:04.579
 of the ages

00:17:04.579 --> 00:17:06.099
 to put away

00:17:06.099 --> 00:17:06.839
 sin

00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:08.359
 by the sacrifice

00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:10.279
 of himself.

00:17:12.419 --> 00:17:12.639
 And then

00:17:12.639 --> 00:17:13.279
 Hebrews chapter 10

00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:14.039
 and verse 14.

00:17:14.159 --> 00:17:15.599
 For by a single

00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:16.339
 offering,

00:17:16.619 --> 00:17:17.799
 Jesus has perfected

00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:18.720
 for all time

00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:19.939
 those who are

00:17:19.939 --> 00:17:20.359
 being

00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:21.919
 sanctified.

00:17:23.199 --> 00:17:23.799
 So,

00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:25.159
 do not be mistaken,

00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:26.539
 Jesus' sacrifice

00:17:26.539 --> 00:17:27.659
 was not lacking

00:17:27.659 --> 00:17:28.599
 in its power

00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:30.179
 to redeem the church

00:17:30.179 --> 00:17:31.079
 from its sin.

00:17:32.059 --> 00:17:32.799
 Jesus' life

00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:33.279
 and death

00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:33.960
 was fully

00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:34.519
 sufficient

00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:35.019
 to save

00:17:35.019 --> 00:17:35.899
 for all time

00:17:35.899 --> 00:17:36.519
 those who have

00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:36.960
 placed

00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:38.439
 and will place

00:17:38.439 --> 00:17:39.339
 believing faith

00:17:39.339 --> 00:17:40.699
 in him.

00:17:42.139 --> 00:17:43.240
 How then

00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:45.359
 are Christ's

00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:46.119
 afflictions

00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:47.480
 lacking?

00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:50.200
 John Piper

00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:51.240
 wrote a little

00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:51.940
 book called

00:17:51.940 --> 00:17:52.819
 Filling Up

00:17:52.819 --> 00:17:53.620
 the Afflictions

00:17:53.620 --> 00:17:54.940
 of Christ

00:17:54.940 --> 00:17:55.440
 where he wrote

00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:55.819
 this,

00:17:57.120 --> 00:17:58.140
 What is lacking

00:17:58.140 --> 00:17:58.860
 in the afflictions

00:17:58.860 --> 00:17:59.420
 of Christ

00:17:59.420 --> 00:18:00.019
 is not that

00:18:00.019 --> 00:18:00.980
 they are deficient

00:18:00.980 --> 00:18:02.019
 in worth

00:18:02.019 --> 00:18:03.220
 as though

00:18:03.220 --> 00:18:04.039
 they could not

00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:05.019
 sufficiently cover

00:18:05.019 --> 00:18:05.519
 the sins

00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:06.140
 of all

00:18:06.140 --> 00:18:07.319
 who believe.

00:18:08.220 --> 00:18:09.120
 What is lacking

00:18:09.120 --> 00:18:09.740
 is that the

00:18:09.740 --> 00:18:10.839
 infinite value

00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:11.700
 of Christ's

00:18:11.700 --> 00:18:12.279
 afflictions

00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:13.319
 is not known

00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:14.299
 and trusted

00:18:14.299 --> 00:18:15.599
 in the world.

00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:17.759
 These afflictions

00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:18.299
 and what they

00:18:18.299 --> 00:18:19.659
 mean are still

00:18:19.659 --> 00:18:20.959
 hidden to most

00:18:20.959 --> 00:18:21.679
 peoples.

00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:23.359
 And God's

00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:23.799
 intention

00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:24.899
 is that the

00:18:24.899 --> 00:18:25.500
 mystery be

00:18:25.500 --> 00:18:26.539
 revealed to

00:18:26.539 --> 00:18:27.619
 all the

00:18:27.619 --> 00:18:28.059
 nations.

00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:29.579
 So the

00:18:29.579 --> 00:18:30.199
 afflictions of

00:18:30.199 --> 00:18:30.879
 Christ are

00:18:30.879 --> 00:18:31.759
 lacking in the

00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:32.240
 sense that they

00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:33.059
 are not seen

00:18:33.059 --> 00:18:33.759
 and known

00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:34.879
 and loved

00:18:34.879 --> 00:18:35.919
 among the

00:18:35.919 --> 00:18:36.359
 nations.

00:18:37.099 --> 00:18:38.019
 They must be

00:18:38.019 --> 00:18:39.379
 carried by

00:18:39.379 --> 00:18:40.319
 missionaries

00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:41.439
 and those

00:18:41.439 --> 00:18:42.219
 missionaries

00:18:42.219 --> 00:18:43.339
 complete what

00:18:43.339 --> 00:18:43.959
 is lacking

00:18:43.959 --> 00:18:44.219
 in the

00:18:44.219 --> 00:18:44.740
 afflictions of

00:18:44.740 --> 00:18:45.139
 Christ

00:18:45.140 --> 00:18:46.259
 by extending

00:18:46.259 --> 00:18:47.200
 them to

00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:47.660
 others.

00:18:48.600 --> 00:18:49.060
 How?

00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:49.740
 How do they

00:18:49.740 --> 00:18:51.080
 extend that

00:18:51.080 --> 00:18:51.740
 to others?

00:18:53.220 --> 00:18:54.080
 A man named

00:18:54.080 --> 00:18:54.980
 Epaphroditus

00:18:54.980 --> 00:18:56.440
 can help us

00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:57.480
 with this.

00:18:58.380 --> 00:18:59.120
 In Philippians

00:18:59.120 --> 00:18:59.940
 chapter 2

00:18:59.940 --> 00:19:01.820
 verse 25

00:19:01.820 --> 00:19:03.220
 and following,

00:19:04.360 --> 00:19:05.160
 Paul writes

00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:05.620
 to the Philippian

00:19:05.620 --> 00:19:06.060
 believers,

00:19:06.220 --> 00:19:06.720
 I have thought it

00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:07.720
 necessary to send

00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:08.660
 to you Epaphroditus

00:19:08.660 --> 00:19:09.420
 my brother and

00:19:09.420 --> 00:19:10.540
 fellow worker and

00:19:10.540 --> 00:19:11.420
 fellow soldier

00:19:11.420 --> 00:19:12.880
 and your messenger

00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:13.600
 and minister

00:19:13.600 --> 00:19:15.060
 to my need.

00:19:15.140 --> 00:19:15.860
 he was sent

00:19:15.860 --> 00:19:17.360
 to Paul

00:19:17.360 --> 00:19:18.080
 as a minister

00:19:18.080 --> 00:19:19.380
 to his need

00:19:19.380 --> 00:19:20.120
 by the Philippian

00:19:20.120 --> 00:19:20.480
 church.

00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:21.700
 For he has been

00:19:21.700 --> 00:19:22.700
 longing for you

00:19:22.700 --> 00:19:23.460
 all and has been

00:19:23.460 --> 00:19:24.380
 distressed because

00:19:24.380 --> 00:19:25.920
 you heard that

00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:26.440
 he was ill.

00:19:26.580 --> 00:19:27.180
 And I just love

00:19:27.180 --> 00:19:27.800
 this attitude of

00:19:27.800 --> 00:19:28.340
 Epaphroditus.

00:19:28.420 --> 00:19:29.060
 He's concerned

00:19:29.060 --> 00:19:29.840
 because they heard

00:19:29.840 --> 00:19:30.700
 that he was

00:19:30.700 --> 00:19:30.980
 sick.

00:19:31.840 --> 00:19:32.400
 Wonderful

00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:33.660
 example of

00:19:33.660 --> 00:19:34.420
 self-forgetfulness.

00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:36.200
 Indeed,

00:19:36.420 --> 00:19:37.480
 he was ill

00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:38.540
 near to death,

00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:39.820
 but God had

00:19:39.820 --> 00:19:40.580
 mercy on him

00:19:40.580 --> 00:19:41.300
 and not only on

00:19:41.300 --> 00:19:41.500
 him,

00:19:41.500 --> 00:19:42.140
 but on me

00:19:42.140 --> 00:19:42.759
 also,

00:19:43.259 --> 00:19:43.779
 lest I

00:19:43.779 --> 00:19:44.200
 should have

00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:45.720
 sorrow upon

00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:46.700
 sorrow.

00:19:47.779 --> 00:19:48.380
 I am the

00:19:48.380 --> 00:19:48.960
 more eager to

00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:49.319
 send him

00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:49.619
 therefore,

00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:50.099
 that you may

00:19:50.099 --> 00:19:50.920
 rejoice at

00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:51.839
 seeing him

00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:52.279
 again,

00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:53.099
 and that I

00:19:53.099 --> 00:19:53.579
 may be

00:19:53.579 --> 00:19:54.900
 less anxious.

00:19:54.900 --> 00:19:55.240
 So,

00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:55.880
 receive him

00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:56.240
 in the Lord

00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:56.960
 with all joy

00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:57.539
 and honor

00:19:57.539 --> 00:19:58.579
 such men.

00:19:58.720 --> 00:19:58.920
 So,

00:19:59.000 --> 00:19:59.380
 you get the

00:19:59.380 --> 00:19:59.740
 story of

00:19:59.740 --> 00:20:00.200
 what's happening

00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:00.900
 here as Paul's

00:20:00.900 --> 00:20:01.900
 writing to the

00:20:01.900 --> 00:20:02.980
 Philippian church.

00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:04.619
 Verse 30,

00:20:04.619 --> 00:20:06.579
 For he nearly

00:20:06.579 --> 00:20:07.799
 died for the

00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:09.239
 work of Christ.

00:20:09.639 --> 00:20:10.359
 Because he was

00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:10.659
 sent,

00:20:10.919 --> 00:20:11.619
 he got sick,

00:20:12.199 --> 00:20:12.839
 and he almost

00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:13.279
 died.

00:20:13.859 --> 00:20:14.239
 Paul says,

00:20:14.399 --> 00:20:15.179
 risking his

00:20:15.179 --> 00:20:16.439
 life to

00:20:16.439 --> 00:20:17.639
 complete what

00:20:17.639 --> 00:20:18.339
 was lacking

00:20:18.339 --> 00:20:19.099
 in your

00:20:19.099 --> 00:20:20.579
 service to

00:20:20.579 --> 00:20:20.819
 me.

00:20:21.779 --> 00:20:22.319
 And this

00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:23.739
 phrase in

00:20:23.739 --> 00:20:24.139
 Philippians

00:20:24.139 --> 00:20:24.979
 chapter 2 is

00:20:24.979 --> 00:20:25.699
 the exact same

00:20:25.699 --> 00:20:26.259
 phrase that Paul

00:20:26.259 --> 00:20:26.759
 uses in

00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:27.199
 Colossians

00:20:27.199 --> 00:20:28.359
 chapter 1.

00:20:28.959 --> 00:20:29.299
 What was

00:20:29.299 --> 00:20:30.899
 lacking in the

00:20:30.899 --> 00:20:31.399
 afflictions of

00:20:31.399 --> 00:20:31.659
 Christ,

00:20:31.919 --> 00:20:32.759
 lacking in your

00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:34.039
 service to

00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:34.279
 me.

00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:35.019
 And I think

00:20:35.019 --> 00:20:35.680
 this helps us

00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:36.200
 to understand

00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:37.119
 rightly that

00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:37.720
 the way that

00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:38.720
 we take the

00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:39.220
 affliction of

00:20:39.220 --> 00:20:39.819
 Christ to

00:20:39.819 --> 00:20:40.139
 others,

00:20:40.220 --> 00:20:40.500
 that they

00:20:40.500 --> 00:20:41.039
 might know

00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:41.279
 him,

00:20:41.339 --> 00:20:42.220
 is that we

00:20:42.220 --> 00:20:43.220
 suffer like

00:20:43.220 --> 00:20:44.160
 Christ suffered.

00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:45.599
 We have a

00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:46.940
 presence amongst

00:20:46.940 --> 00:20:47.639
 people, a

00:20:47.639 --> 00:20:49.019
 suffering presence

00:20:49.019 --> 00:20:50.200
 amongst people,

00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:52.319
 that we also

00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:53.420
 experience the

00:20:53.420 --> 00:20:55.139
 afflictions of

00:20:55.139 --> 00:20:55.460
 Christ.

00:20:55.940 --> 00:20:56.799
 And we display

00:20:56.799 --> 00:20:57.579
 those afflictions

00:20:57.579 --> 00:20:58.399
 to others.

00:20:58.660 --> 00:20:59.559
 And we walk

00:20:59.559 --> 00:20:59.839
 in those

00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:00.440
 afflictions with

00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:01.279
 a great faith

00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:01.879
 and a great

00:21:01.879 --> 00:21:02.779
 God who is

00:21:02.779 --> 00:21:03.480
 redeeming people

00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:04.360
 for his

00:21:04.360 --> 00:21:04.680
 name.

00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:07.539
 So suffering

00:21:07.539 --> 00:21:08.900
 was a

00:21:08.900 --> 00:21:10.319
 primary means

00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:11.599
 by which Paul

00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:12.180
 spread the

00:21:12.180 --> 00:21:12.799
 gospel of

00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:13.839
 reconciliation to

00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:14.860
 all the peoples

00:21:14.860 --> 00:21:15.440
 of the world

00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:16.059
 in order to

00:21:16.059 --> 00:21:17.559
 yield God-centered,

00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:19.519
 Christ-exalting

00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:21.099
 churches.

00:21:22.099 --> 00:21:22.779
 Beloved, this

00:21:22.779 --> 00:21:24.140
 is a divine

00:21:24.140 --> 00:21:26.559
 strategy, not

00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:28.440
 merely a

00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:28.860
 consequence.

00:21:28.859 --> 00:21:29.000
 suffering.

00:21:30.419 --> 00:21:31.199
 Now at this

00:21:31.199 --> 00:21:31.839
 point I have to

00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:32.539
 imagine that you've

00:21:32.539 --> 00:21:33.119
 got all kinds of

00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:33.879
 questions about what

00:21:33.879 --> 00:21:34.979
 suffering is.

00:21:35.199 --> 00:21:35.799
 I've spoken so

00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:37.139
 general and broadly

00:21:37.139 --> 00:21:37.719
 about it.

00:21:38.059 --> 00:21:38.979
 I think we suffer in

00:21:38.979 --> 00:21:40.319
 a lot of ways in

00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:40.779
 this world.

00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:42.339
 I think we suffer in

00:21:42.339 --> 00:21:43.139
 ways that are

00:21:43.139 --> 00:21:44.199
 common to all

00:21:44.199 --> 00:21:45.439
 people in this

00:21:45.439 --> 00:21:46.500
 world with things

00:21:46.500 --> 00:21:47.619
 like sickness.

00:21:48.819 --> 00:21:49.759
 Our bodies are

00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:50.240
 failing.

00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:51.199
 We are ever being

00:21:51.199 --> 00:21:52.119
 reminded that we

00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:53.079
 are headed swiftly

00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:54.419
 towards death.

00:21:54.420 --> 00:21:56.400
 Some of you are

00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:56.860
 young.

00:21:57.860 --> 00:21:58.420
 I think most

00:21:58.420 --> 00:21:58.900
 people in the

00:21:58.900 --> 00:21:59.400
 room probably

00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:00.080
 have that feeling

00:22:00.080 --> 00:22:00.539
 when you wake

00:22:00.539 --> 00:22:00.820
 up in the

00:22:00.820 --> 00:22:01.180
 morning of,

00:22:01.340 --> 00:22:02.080
 oh no.

00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:05.160
 The process of

00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:05.740
 getting out of

00:22:05.740 --> 00:22:07.000
 bed is painful.

00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:09.160
 I typically roll

00:22:09.160 --> 00:22:09.980
 onto a shoulder

00:22:09.980 --> 00:22:11.380
 and drop a knee

00:22:11.380 --> 00:22:12.039
 down to the floor

00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:12.779
 and start on my

00:22:12.779 --> 00:22:13.160
 knees.

00:22:13.700 --> 00:22:14.500
 And I wish it

00:22:14.500 --> 00:22:15.160
 was because I

00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:15.960
 was there in

00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:16.400
 prayer to the

00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:16.600
 Lord.

00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:17.140
 I'm just trying

00:22:17.140 --> 00:22:18.080
 to stand up

00:22:18.080 --> 00:22:19.060
 in the morning.

00:22:20.860 --> 00:22:22.000
 The pollen count

00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:22.420
 is up.

00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:22.900
 I felt like I

00:22:22.900 --> 00:22:23.880
 had sand in my

00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:24.320
 eyes.

00:22:24.420 --> 00:22:24.980
 Yesterday.

00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:26.840
 This is sin in

00:22:26.840 --> 00:22:27.300
 the world.

00:22:27.860 --> 00:22:28.600
 The world is

00:22:28.600 --> 00:22:29.360
 broken.

00:22:29.600 --> 00:22:30.340
 It is desperately

00:22:30.340 --> 00:22:31.900
 broken in very

00:22:31.900 --> 00:22:34.500
 normative ways.

00:22:35.100 --> 00:22:36.360
 We experience it

00:22:36.360 --> 00:22:37.880
 in deeper ways

00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:38.340
 as well.

00:22:38.420 --> 00:22:38.980
 We experience it

00:22:38.980 --> 00:22:39.580
 in the loss of

00:22:39.580 --> 00:22:40.279
 loved ones,

00:22:40.340 --> 00:22:41.680
 old and young.

00:22:42.460 --> 00:22:43.340
 Tragedy strikes

00:22:43.340 --> 00:22:45.300
 families all the

00:22:45.300 --> 00:22:45.880
 time.

00:22:46.460 --> 00:22:47.100
 We see it in the

00:22:47.100 --> 00:22:47.900
 broad suffering

00:22:47.900 --> 00:22:48.500
 of the world

00:22:48.500 --> 00:22:49.200
 around us.

00:22:49.320 --> 00:22:50.560
 People starving

00:22:50.560 --> 00:22:51.420
 to death.

00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:52.640
 People without

00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:53.660
 parents.

00:22:53.660 --> 00:22:54.320
 There is so

00:22:54.320 --> 00:22:55.779
 much brokenness

00:22:55.779 --> 00:22:57.000
 and pain in

00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:57.519
 this world.

00:22:57.840 --> 00:22:58.000
 And as

00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:58.740
 Christian people,

00:22:58.920 --> 00:22:59.360
 we ought to

00:22:59.360 --> 00:23:00.220
 rightly view

00:23:00.220 --> 00:23:00.640
 that through

00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:01.180
 the lens of

00:23:01.180 --> 00:23:01.759
 sin.

00:23:02.259 --> 00:23:03.120
 Look at the

00:23:03.120 --> 00:23:04.080
 curse and its

00:23:04.080 --> 00:23:05.360
 rampant nature

00:23:05.360 --> 00:23:06.080
 in the place

00:23:06.080 --> 00:23:06.640
 that we are.

00:23:06.900 --> 00:23:07.400
 I think we

00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:07.620
 ought to

00:23:07.620 --> 00:23:08.180
 experience those

00:23:08.180 --> 00:23:08.620
 things in a

00:23:08.620 --> 00:23:09.000
 way that is

00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:09.860
 unique amongst

00:23:09.860 --> 00:23:10.779
 peoples of the

00:23:10.779 --> 00:23:11.400
 earth because we

00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:13.080
 understand what

00:23:13.080 --> 00:23:13.960
 caused it.

00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:14.960
 sin.

00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:17.200
 But more than

00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:18.860
 that, particularly

00:23:18.860 --> 00:23:21.259
 within that, the

00:23:21.259 --> 00:23:21.720
 church throughout

00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:22.819
 the ages has

00:23:22.819 --> 00:23:23.480
 been persecuted

00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:25.539
 for righteousness

00:23:25.539 --> 00:23:27.680
 and we are not

00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:28.840
 those who get to

00:23:28.840 --> 00:23:29.519
 escape this.

00:23:30.539 --> 00:23:31.519
 We don't get to

00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:32.180
 live in America

00:23:32.180 --> 00:23:33.539
 and escape people

00:23:33.539 --> 00:23:35.420
 not liking us for

00:23:35.420 --> 00:23:35.960
 our faith.

00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:37.100
 And that's going

00:23:37.100 --> 00:23:37.640
 to take a different

00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:38.539
 shape where we live

00:23:38.539 --> 00:23:39.100
 than it does in

00:23:39.100 --> 00:23:39.779
 other places.

00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:41.700
 I am fully aware

00:23:41.700 --> 00:23:43.359
 that no one here

00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:43.960
 is going to be

00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:45.000
 beaten for being a

00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:45.819
 Christian leaving

00:23:45.819 --> 00:23:46.319
 this place.

00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:47.240
 I would be so

00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:48.759
 astoundingly shocked

00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:49.279
 if that were to

00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:49.599
 happen.

00:23:50.259 --> 00:23:50.960
 I probably shouldn't

00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:52.299
 be, but I would

00:23:52.299 --> 00:23:52.599
 be.

00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:55.220
 It's probably not

00:23:55.220 --> 00:23:56.220
 going to take that

00:23:56.220 --> 00:23:56.819
 shape.

00:23:57.279 --> 00:23:58.099
 But it might look

00:23:58.099 --> 00:23:58.660
 like you being

00:23:58.660 --> 00:23:59.440
 passed over for a

00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:00.680
 promotion because

00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:01.579
 your boss really

00:24:01.579 --> 00:24:02.460
 doesn't care for you

00:24:02.460 --> 00:24:03.279
 all that much

00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:03.839
 because you keep

00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:04.660
 telling him of his

00:24:04.660 --> 00:24:05.700
 wickedness and

00:24:05.700 --> 00:24:06.279
 calling him to

00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:07.079
 turn to God.

00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:09.899
 being a follower

00:24:09.899 --> 00:24:10.619
 of Jesus Christ

00:24:10.619 --> 00:24:11.519
 is going to press

00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:12.799
 you to speak boldly

00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:13.980
 to people about

00:24:13.980 --> 00:24:14.799
 their eternal

00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:15.740
 damnation.

00:24:17.059 --> 00:24:18.339
 It may look like

00:24:18.339 --> 00:24:19.240
 school teachers,

00:24:19.460 --> 00:24:20.220
 you not being able

00:24:20.220 --> 00:24:20.679
 to hold your

00:24:20.679 --> 00:24:21.599
 position any longer

00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:22.539
 because you can no

00:24:22.539 --> 00:24:23.460
 longer hold your

00:24:23.460 --> 00:24:24.759
 tongue and you

00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:25.740
 must tell these

00:24:25.740 --> 00:24:27.000
 children about this

00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:28.639
 Jesus that you

00:24:28.639 --> 00:24:30.099
 love so much.

00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:31.019
 I pray that all

00:24:31.019 --> 00:24:31.819
 of you have school

00:24:31.819 --> 00:24:32.539
 systems you can

00:24:32.539 --> 00:24:33.619
 carefully navigate

00:24:33.619 --> 00:24:34.759
 and preach faithfully

00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:36.319
 the gospel without

00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:37.059
 being fired.

00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:38.819
 It may mean that

00:24:38.819 --> 00:24:40.399
 your neighbor doesn't

00:24:40.399 --> 00:24:41.179
 want to talk to you

00:24:41.179 --> 00:24:41.740
 in the driveway

00:24:41.740 --> 00:24:42.299
 anymore.

00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:43.279
 That he very

00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:44.619
 quickly scrambles

00:24:44.619 --> 00:24:45.720
 inside or he

00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:46.379
 pulls in the garage

00:24:46.379 --> 00:24:47.099
 and closes the door

00:24:47.099 --> 00:24:48.119
 before he gets out

00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:49.319
 of the car because

00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:50.199
 he knows you may

00:24:50.199 --> 00:24:51.299
 come over and

00:24:51.299 --> 00:24:52.240
 want to tell him

00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:52.939
 that he needs to

00:24:52.939 --> 00:24:54.139
 repent and believe

00:24:54.139 --> 00:24:55.679
 in Christ.

00:24:56.980 --> 00:24:58.139
 I think that we

00:24:58.139 --> 00:24:58.980
 don't experience

00:24:58.980 --> 00:24:59.819
 enough suffering

00:24:59.819 --> 00:25:00.339
 in this world

00:25:00.339 --> 00:25:01.139
 because we're not

00:25:01.139 --> 00:25:02.159
 faithful enough

00:25:02.159 --> 00:25:03.259
 in our pursuit

00:25:03.259 --> 00:25:03.779
 of Christ.

00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:05.339
 I think we're

00:25:05.339 --> 00:25:07.339
 this weird blend

00:25:07.339 --> 00:25:08.179
 of Christian

00:25:08.179 --> 00:25:08.919
 in the world.

00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:09.559
 I think the way

00:25:09.559 --> 00:25:10.579
 we live as Christians

00:25:10.579 --> 00:25:11.720
 to other Christians

00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:12.220
 in the world

00:25:12.220 --> 00:25:13.099
 would be shocking.

00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:14.259
 It would be

00:25:14.259 --> 00:25:15.279
 strange.

00:25:15.819 --> 00:25:16.339
 They would come

00:25:16.339 --> 00:25:16.980
 over and want

00:25:16.980 --> 00:25:17.500
 to talk about

00:25:17.500 --> 00:25:18.379
 our experience

00:25:18.379 --> 00:25:18.919
 and we would

00:25:18.919 --> 00:25:19.779
 have no idea

00:25:19.779 --> 00:25:20.619
 what they're

00:25:20.619 --> 00:25:21.319
 talking about.

00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:24.279
 So much that

00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:25.519
 we do has been

00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:26.819
 Americanized in a

00:25:26.819 --> 00:25:28.339
 very unhealthy

00:25:28.339 --> 00:25:29.519
 way.

00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:33.599
 suffering is a

00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:35.940
 divine strategy.

00:25:36.900 --> 00:25:37.639
 And if you are

00:25:37.639 --> 00:25:38.200
 sitting there and

00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:38.660
 you're thinking

00:25:38.660 --> 00:25:39.500
 wait a second

00:25:39.500 --> 00:25:40.940
 I don't want to

00:25:40.940 --> 00:25:41.319
 suffer.

00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:44.180
 My impulse is not

00:25:44.180 --> 00:25:45.299
 to do this thing

00:25:45.299 --> 00:25:46.680
 there's a naturalness

00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:47.019
 to that.

00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:47.960
 That's normative

00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:49.440
 but you want to

00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:50.759
 love Christ more

00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:51.379
 and you want to

00:25:51.379 --> 00:25:52.379
 love the way of

00:25:52.379 --> 00:25:53.519
 Christ more

00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:54.619
 and you want to

00:25:54.619 --> 00:25:56.299
 live for eternity

00:25:56.299 --> 00:25:58.500
 and not for now.

00:25:58.500 --> 00:26:00.220
 If you would

00:26:00.220 --> 00:26:02.279
 forsake Christ

00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:03.160
 in order to

00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:04.079
 not suffer

00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:05.259
 then you are

00:26:05.259 --> 00:26:06.000
 not in Him.

00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:07.420
 You have not

00:26:07.420 --> 00:26:08.440
 experienced His

00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:09.279
 lavish grace

00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:09.720
 and mercy

00:26:09.720 --> 00:26:10.700
 to you.

00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:13.200
 Tertullian

00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:13.660
 who was a

00:26:13.660 --> 00:26:14.059
 Christian who

00:26:14.059 --> 00:26:14.880
 lived from

00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:16.380
 about AD

00:26:16.380 --> 00:26:17.380
 160 to

00:26:17.380 --> 00:26:17.980
 about AD

00:26:17.980 --> 00:26:19.980
 225

00:26:19.980 --> 00:26:21.220
 said

00:26:21.220 --> 00:26:22.559
 the oftener

00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:23.059
 we are

00:26:23.059 --> 00:26:24.299
 mown down

00:26:24.299 --> 00:26:25.019
 by you

00:26:25.019 --> 00:26:25.480
 Romans

00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:27.059
 the more

00:26:27.059 --> 00:26:27.660
 in number

00:26:27.660 --> 00:26:28.779
 we Christians

00:26:28.779 --> 00:26:29.940
 grow

00:26:29.940 --> 00:26:31.320
 the blood

00:26:31.320 --> 00:26:32.440
 of Christians

00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:33.940
 is seed

00:26:33.940 --> 00:26:35.900
 and this is

00:26:35.900 --> 00:26:36.560
 true in the

00:26:36.560 --> 00:26:37.380
 world today

00:26:37.380 --> 00:26:38.460
 if God were

00:26:38.460 --> 00:26:38.940
 to suddenly

00:26:38.940 --> 00:26:39.880
 gather together

00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:40.600
 the church

00:26:40.600 --> 00:26:41.300
 global

00:26:41.300 --> 00:26:42.160
 today

00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:43.240
 we

00:26:43.240 --> 00:26:44.920
 white

00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:47.460
 European

00:26:47.460 --> 00:26:48.800
 Christians

00:26:48.800 --> 00:26:50.320
 nominal

00:26:50.320 --> 00:26:50.600
 in our

00:26:50.600 --> 00:26:51.140
 devotion to

00:26:51.140 --> 00:26:51.540
 Christ

00:26:51.540 --> 00:26:51.980
 would be

00:26:51.980 --> 00:26:52.700
 the minority

00:26:52.700 --> 00:26:53.220
 and the

00:26:53.220 --> 00:26:53.920
 odd ones.

00:26:55.040 --> 00:26:55.640
 In the

00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:56.519
 world right

00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:56.900
 now the

00:26:56.900 --> 00:26:57.940
 fastest growing

00:26:57.940 --> 00:26:58.539
 churches are

00:26:58.539 --> 00:26:59.119
 growing in

00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:00.000
 places where

00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:00.799
 we don't hear

00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:01.460
 about because

00:27:01.460 --> 00:27:01.799
 they're

00:27:01.799 --> 00:27:02.480
 underground.

00:27:03.339 --> 00:27:03.599
 They're

00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:04.240
 highly

00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:04.879
 persecuted.

00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:05.859
 Places like

00:27:05.859 --> 00:27:06.519
 Iran,

00:27:07.500 --> 00:27:07.940
 China,

00:27:08.059 --> 00:27:08.279
 you hear

00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:08.879
 reports coming

00:27:08.879 --> 00:27:09.440
 out of China

00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:09.839
 because it's

00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:10.359
 a little bit

00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:11.220
 looser now

00:27:11.220 --> 00:27:11.839
 in these days.

00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:12.500
 As many as

00:27:12.500 --> 00:27:13.619
 10,000 people

00:27:13.619 --> 00:27:14.259
 a day professing

00:27:14.259 --> 00:27:14.960
 faith in

00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:15.240
 Christ.

00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:15.980
 We're the

00:27:15.980 --> 00:27:16.339
 minority.

00:27:16.639 --> 00:27:17.139
 We're the

00:27:17.139 --> 00:27:17.879
 strange ones.

00:27:19.460 --> 00:27:20.279
 The blood

00:27:20.279 --> 00:27:20.980
 of Christians

00:27:20.980 --> 00:27:23.000
 is seed.

00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:24.519
 John Piper

00:27:24.519 --> 00:27:24.960
 adds to

00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:25.460
 Tertullian's

00:27:25.460 --> 00:27:25.660
 quote,

00:27:25.740 --> 00:27:26.279
 for almost

00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:27.400
 300 years

00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:28.139
 Christians

00:27:28.139 --> 00:27:29.019
 grew in

00:27:29.019 --> 00:27:29.879
 soil that

00:27:29.879 --> 00:27:30.539
 was wet

00:27:30.539 --> 00:27:31.099
 with the

00:27:31.099 --> 00:27:32.019
 blood of

00:27:32.019 --> 00:27:32.700
 martyrs.

00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:35.819
 The

00:27:35.819 --> 00:27:36.379
 suffering of

00:27:36.379 --> 00:27:36.859
 God's

00:27:36.859 --> 00:27:37.379
 saints

00:27:37.379 --> 00:27:38.859
 ought to

00:27:38.859 --> 00:27:39.200
 be the

00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:39.720
 norm,

00:27:40.259 --> 00:27:40.900
 not the

00:27:40.900 --> 00:27:41.279
 exception.

00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:42.920
 It ought to

00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:43.359
 be normative

00:27:43.359 --> 00:27:44.059
 and beloved,

00:27:44.379 --> 00:27:44.839
 we ought to

00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:45.460
 be all the

00:27:45.460 --> 00:27:46.099
 more bold

00:27:46.099 --> 00:27:46.500
 because of

00:27:46.500 --> 00:27:46.759
 the place

00:27:46.759 --> 00:27:47.220
 we live.

00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:49.559
 What are

00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:50.119
 we afraid

00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:50.480
 of?

00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:52.519
 A little

00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:53.019
 derision,

00:27:54.019 --> 00:27:54.559
 being made

00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:55.259
 fun of?

00:27:55.819 --> 00:27:56.220
 Oh,

00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:56.559
 someone's

00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:56.720
 going to

00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:57.039
 call me

00:27:57.039 --> 00:27:57.920
 goody-two-shoes

00:27:57.920 --> 00:27:58.319
 because I

00:27:58.319 --> 00:27:58.639
 called them

00:27:58.639 --> 00:27:58.839
 to the

00:27:58.839 --> 00:27:59.200
 ways of

00:27:59.200 --> 00:27:59.579
 God.

00:28:00.339 --> 00:28:00.839
 I'm not

00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:00.980
 going to

00:28:00.980 --> 00:28:01.319
 be as

00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:02.299
 liked as

00:28:02.299 --> 00:28:02.539
 I would

00:28:02.539 --> 00:28:02.960
 like to

00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:03.240
 be.

00:28:04.339 --> 00:28:04.839
 We should

00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:05.379
 be more

00:28:05.379 --> 00:28:05.759
 bold.

00:28:06.359 --> 00:28:06.660
 We should

00:28:06.660 --> 00:28:08.139
 be astoundingly,

00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:08.440
 we don't

00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:08.720
 even really

00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:09.059
 have to be

00:28:09.059 --> 00:28:09.339
 all that

00:28:09.339 --> 00:28:09.879
 wise in

00:28:09.879 --> 00:28:10.059
 the way

00:28:10.059 --> 00:28:10.259
 that we

00:28:10.259 --> 00:28:10.700
 proclaim

00:28:10.700 --> 00:28:11.119
 the gospel

00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:11.420
 of Jesus

00:28:11.420 --> 00:28:11.819
 Christ

00:28:11.819 --> 00:28:12.779
 because we're

00:28:12.779 --> 00:28:13.059
 not going

00:28:13.059 --> 00:28:13.220
 to be

00:28:13.220 --> 00:28:13.579
 imprisoned

00:28:13.579 --> 00:28:13.859
 and we're

00:28:13.859 --> 00:28:14.180
 not going

00:28:14.180 --> 00:28:14.440
 to be

00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:15.299
 put to

00:28:15.299 --> 00:28:15.660
 death.

00:28:17.940 --> 00:28:18.400
 We should

00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:19.039
 press on

00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:20.000
 and press

00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:20.879
 in.

00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:21.700
 So let me

00:28:21.700 --> 00:28:22.440
 just ask

00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:22.700
 you,

00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:23.500
 are you

00:28:23.500 --> 00:28:24.759
 willing to

00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:25.160
 bear up

00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:25.360
 under

00:28:25.360 --> 00:28:26.160
 discomfort

00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:26.759
 for the

00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:28.240
 sake of

00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:28.720
 Christ?

00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:31.039
 I wonder

00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:31.380
 how we

00:28:31.380 --> 00:28:31.900
 would respond

00:28:31.900 --> 00:28:32.220
 if there

00:28:32.220 --> 00:28:32.460
 were

00:28:32.460 --> 00:28:33.140
 picketers

00:28:33.140 --> 00:28:33.480
 at the

00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:33.819
 front of

00:28:33.819 --> 00:28:33.960
 our

00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:34.400
 property

00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:35.299
 on a

00:28:35.299 --> 00:28:35.500
 Sunday

00:28:35.500 --> 00:28:35.900
 morning.

00:28:36.860 --> 00:28:37.180
 If people

00:28:37.180 --> 00:28:37.600
 were saying

00:28:37.600 --> 00:28:38.080
 hateful

00:28:38.080 --> 00:28:38.799
 things about

00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:39.840
 you claiming

00:28:39.840 --> 00:28:40.259
 to be a

00:28:40.259 --> 00:28:40.940
 Christ follower

00:28:40.940 --> 00:28:41.360
 as you

00:28:41.360 --> 00:28:42.100
 pulled in,

00:28:42.460 --> 00:28:43.279
 how likely

00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:43.660
 would you

00:28:43.660 --> 00:28:44.000
 be to

00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:44.539
 navigate

00:28:44.539 --> 00:28:45.080
 through

00:28:45.080 --> 00:28:46.080
 such a

00:28:46.080 --> 00:28:46.380
 throng

00:28:46.380 --> 00:28:46.680
 to be

00:28:46.680 --> 00:28:46.980
 able to

00:28:46.980 --> 00:28:47.240
 gather

00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:48.340
 with the

00:28:48.340 --> 00:28:48.700
 church?

00:28:50.019 --> 00:28:50.380
 Worse

00:28:50.380 --> 00:28:50.600
 yet,

00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:50.900
 what if

00:28:50.900 --> 00:28:51.160
 there were

00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:51.800
 threats made

00:28:51.800 --> 00:28:52.279
 concerning

00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:53.440
 our lives?

00:28:54.380 --> 00:28:54.700
 What if

00:28:54.700 --> 00:28:55.220
 someone called

00:28:55.220 --> 00:28:55.580
 up and

00:28:55.580 --> 00:28:55.940
 said,

00:28:56.620 --> 00:28:56.880
 if your

00:28:56.880 --> 00:28:57.480
 church keeps

00:28:57.480 --> 00:28:57.980
 meeting the

00:28:57.980 --> 00:28:58.400
 way it's

00:28:58.400 --> 00:28:58.680
 meeting,

00:28:58.740 --> 00:28:58.960
 I'm going

00:28:58.960 --> 00:28:59.320
 to show

00:28:59.320 --> 00:28:59.779
 up one

00:28:59.779 --> 00:29:00.140
 day,

00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:01.560
 would we

00:29:01.560 --> 00:29:01.940
 continue

00:29:01.940 --> 00:29:02.860
 to meet?

00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:03.880
 Would we

00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:04.660
 so want

00:29:04.660 --> 00:29:04.980
 to be

00:29:04.980 --> 00:29:05.460
 together

00:29:05.460 --> 00:29:06.480
 to praise

00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:07.279
 this God

00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:07.720
 that has

00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:08.279
 loved us

00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:08.900
 so much

00:29:08.900 --> 00:29:09.300
 that we

00:29:09.300 --> 00:29:09.600
 would be

00:29:09.600 --> 00:29:10.120
 willing to

00:29:10.120 --> 00:29:10.560
 risk

00:29:10.560 --> 00:29:11.700
 such a

00:29:11.700 --> 00:29:11.940
 thing?

00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:13.920
 Would you

00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:14.500
 all gather

00:29:14.500 --> 00:29:15.400
 at dawn

00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:16.540
 in a

00:29:16.540 --> 00:29:17.480
 secret place

00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:18.180
 because the

00:29:18.180 --> 00:29:18.860
 danger was

00:29:18.860 --> 00:29:19.420
 so high,

00:29:19.420 --> 00:29:20.279
 because you

00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:20.980
 are so

00:29:20.980 --> 00:29:21.960
 hungry for

00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:22.320
 Christian

00:29:22.320 --> 00:29:22.820
 fellowship

00:29:22.820 --> 00:29:23.560
 and the

00:29:23.560 --> 00:29:23.980
 preaching of

00:29:23.980 --> 00:29:24.279
 God's

00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:24.539
 word?

00:29:25.340 --> 00:29:26.039
 If I

00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:26.740
 sent out a

00:29:26.740 --> 00:29:27.180
 message and

00:29:27.180 --> 00:29:27.279
 said,

00:29:27.380 --> 00:29:27.500
 hey,

00:29:27.560 --> 00:29:28.480
 we had a

00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:29.519
 threat placed

00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:29.779
 on the

00:29:29.779 --> 00:29:30.160
 church,

00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:31.080
 and so

00:29:31.080 --> 00:29:31.779
 this Sunday

00:29:31.779 --> 00:29:32.200
 instead of

00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:32.759
 meeting at

00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:33.640
 1030,

00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:35.580
 we're going

00:29:35.580 --> 00:29:35.900
 to meet at

00:29:35.900 --> 00:29:36.519
 5am,

00:29:37.060 --> 00:29:37.640
 because we're

00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:37.980
 going to get

00:29:37.980 --> 00:29:38.519
 in and we're

00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:38.820
 going to get

00:29:38.820 --> 00:29:39.259
 out before

00:29:39.259 --> 00:29:40.539
 anybody would

00:29:40.539 --> 00:29:41.080
 ever show

00:29:41.080 --> 00:29:41.900
 up to our

00:29:41.900 --> 00:29:42.279
 property.

00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:43.600
 How many

00:29:43.600 --> 00:29:43.980
 people would

00:29:43.980 --> 00:29:44.380
 be here

00:29:44.380 --> 00:29:45.400
 on that

00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:45.680
 morning?

00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:49.299
 For so

00:29:49.299 --> 00:29:49.560
 many,

00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:50.180
 gathering with

00:29:50.180 --> 00:29:50.640
 the church

00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:51.560
 seems to be

00:29:51.560 --> 00:29:52.039
 a thing they

00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:52.660
 do when they

00:29:52.660 --> 00:29:53.140
 have nothing

00:29:53.140 --> 00:29:54.180
 else to

00:29:54.180 --> 00:29:54.400
 do.

00:29:56.279 --> 00:29:57.039
 Paul writes

00:29:57.039 --> 00:29:57.680
 in 2 Timothy

00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:58.420
 chapter 3

00:29:58.420 --> 00:29:59.320
 and verse 12,

00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:00.500
 Indeed,

00:30:00.660 --> 00:30:01.519
 all who desire

00:30:01.519 --> 00:30:02.240
 to live a

00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:03.080
 godly life

00:30:03.080 --> 00:30:04.180
 in Christ

00:30:04.180 --> 00:30:04.720
 Jesus

00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:06.600
 will be

00:30:06.600 --> 00:30:07.700
 persecuted.

00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:09.860
 And Paul

00:30:09.860 --> 00:30:10.380
 is not here

00:30:10.380 --> 00:30:11.759
 saying that

00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:12.299
 if we want

00:30:12.299 --> 00:30:12.920
 to be godly,

00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:13.500
 we have to

00:30:13.500 --> 00:30:13.900
 go to

00:30:13.900 --> 00:30:14.400
 dangerous

00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:15.539
 places for

00:30:15.539 --> 00:30:16.000
 the gospel.

00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:17.180
 Paul here

00:30:17.180 --> 00:30:17.559
 is saying

00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:17.859
 that the

00:30:17.859 --> 00:30:18.319
 gospel is

00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:18.899
 dangerous.

00:30:21.180 --> 00:30:21.500
 Pursue

00:30:21.500 --> 00:30:22.099
 Christ where

00:30:22.099 --> 00:30:22.879
 you are

00:30:22.879 --> 00:30:23.539
 and you

00:30:23.539 --> 00:30:24.759
 will be

00:30:24.759 --> 00:30:26.579
 persecuted.

00:30:27.579 --> 00:30:27.839
 This

00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:28.279
 shouldn't be

00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:28.940
 some far

00:30:28.940 --> 00:30:29.379
 removed

00:30:29.379 --> 00:30:29.940
 foreign

00:30:29.940 --> 00:30:31.279
 theory of

00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:31.759
 the Christian

00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:33.279
 life.

00:30:34.420 --> 00:30:35.180
 What is

00:30:35.180 --> 00:30:35.759
 missing in

00:30:35.759 --> 00:30:36.200
 your life

00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:37.599
 that prevents

00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:39.259
 your affliction?

00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:40.519
 What comfort

00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:41.059
 do you hide

00:30:41.059 --> 00:30:41.440
 behind?

00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:43.079
 What sacrifice

00:30:43.079 --> 00:30:44.700
 do you need

00:30:44.700 --> 00:30:45.840
 to make?

00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:48.120
 The contemporary

00:30:48.120 --> 00:30:49.120
 Romanian pastor

00:30:49.120 --> 00:30:49.620
 Joseph

00:30:49.620 --> 00:30:50.039
 San,

00:30:50.160 --> 00:30:50.840
 who has

00:30:50.840 --> 00:30:51.059
 suffered

00:30:51.059 --> 00:30:51.779
 greatly at

00:30:51.779 --> 00:30:52.180
 the hand

00:30:52.180 --> 00:30:53.000
 of Russian

00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:54.039
 communists,

00:30:54.259 --> 00:30:54.600
 stated,

00:30:55.819 --> 00:30:56.319
 Christ's

00:30:56.319 --> 00:30:56.640
 suffering

00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:57.580
 is for

00:30:57.580 --> 00:30:58.480
 propitiation.

00:30:59.759 --> 00:31:00.400
 Our

00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:00.840
 suffering

00:31:00.840 --> 00:31:01.580
 is for

00:31:01.580 --> 00:31:02.279
 propagation.

00:31:03.380 --> 00:31:03.960
 Love that.

00:31:04.660 --> 00:31:05.319
 The seed

00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:05.980
 of the gospel

00:31:05.980 --> 00:31:06.539
 is sown

00:31:06.539 --> 00:31:06.900
 through the

00:31:06.900 --> 00:31:07.240
 suffering

00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:08.840
 of his

00:31:08.840 --> 00:31:09.180
 people.

00:31:09.180 --> 00:31:11.400
 Jesus

00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:11.799
 said in

00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:12.019
 John

00:31:12.019 --> 00:31:12.259
 chapter

00:31:12.259 --> 00:31:12.720
 12,

00:31:13.140 --> 00:31:13.900
 verse 24

00:31:13.900 --> 00:31:14.480
 and 25,

00:31:14.600 --> 00:31:14.740
 truly,

00:31:14.860 --> 00:31:14.940
 truly,

00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:15.279
 I say

00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:15.560
 to you,

00:31:15.620 --> 00:31:16.000
 unless a

00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:16.420
 grain of

00:31:16.420 --> 00:31:17.400
 wheat falls

00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:17.740
 into the

00:31:17.740 --> 00:31:18.160
 earth and

00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:18.560
 dies,

00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:19.480
 it remains

00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:20.080
 alone.

00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:20.960
 But if

00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:21.420
 it dies,

00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:21.779
 it bears

00:31:21.779 --> 00:31:23.080
 much fruit.

00:31:23.980 --> 00:31:24.160
 Whoever

00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:24.759
 loves his

00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:25.560
 life loses

00:31:25.560 --> 00:31:25.860
 it,

00:31:26.080 --> 00:31:26.360
 and whoever

00:31:26.360 --> 00:31:26.920
 hates his

00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:27.480
 life in

00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:28.000
 this world

00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:28.860
 will keep

00:31:28.860 --> 00:31:29.560
 it for

00:31:29.560 --> 00:31:29.860
 eternal

00:31:29.860 --> 00:31:30.340
 life.

00:31:31.320 --> 00:31:31.560
 Jesus

00:31:31.560 --> 00:31:31.840
 here is

00:31:31.840 --> 00:31:32.200
 not just

00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:33.759
 referring to

00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:34.220
 the death

00:31:34.220 --> 00:31:34.880
 of the

00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:35.140
 martyr,

00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:35.620
 although he

00:31:35.620 --> 00:31:35.980
 certainly

00:31:35.980 --> 00:31:36.700
 is,

00:31:36.700 --> 00:31:38.299
 but also

00:31:38.299 --> 00:31:38.660
 to the

00:31:38.660 --> 00:31:39.039
 daily

00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:39.559
 dying

00:31:39.559 --> 00:31:39.940
 of

00:31:39.940 --> 00:31:40.380
 disciples

00:31:40.380 --> 00:31:40.580
 of

00:31:40.580 --> 00:31:40.880
 Jesus

00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:41.600
 who

00:31:41.600 --> 00:31:42.000
 take up

00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:42.140
 their

00:31:42.140 --> 00:31:42.500
 crosses

00:31:42.500 --> 00:31:42.819
 and

00:31:42.819 --> 00:31:43.160
 follow

00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:43.420
 him,

00:31:43.660 --> 00:31:44.059
 follow

00:31:44.059 --> 00:31:44.279
 the

00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:44.660
 example

00:31:44.660 --> 00:31:44.860
 of

00:31:44.860 --> 00:31:44.980
 his

00:31:44.980 --> 00:31:45.279
 life

00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:45.539
 and

00:31:45.539 --> 00:31:45.799
 death.

00:31:46.279 --> 00:31:46.940
 Our

00:31:46.940 --> 00:31:47.580
 Lord

00:31:47.580 --> 00:31:48.299
 was a

00:31:48.299 --> 00:31:48.740
 suffering

00:31:48.740 --> 00:31:49.640
 servant.

00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:51.500
 It is

00:31:51.500 --> 00:31:51.920
 insane

00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:52.200
 for us

00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:52.480
 to call

00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:52.860
 ourselves

00:31:52.860 --> 00:31:53.299
 little

00:31:53.299 --> 00:31:53.940
 Christs

00:31:53.940 --> 00:31:55.019
 and to

00:31:55.019 --> 00:31:55.240
 not

00:31:55.240 --> 00:31:55.640
 suffer.

00:31:56.680 --> 00:31:57.240
 Christ

00:31:57.240 --> 00:31:58.360
 suffered.

00:31:58.620 --> 00:31:58.880
 God

00:31:58.880 --> 00:31:59.519
 himself

00:31:59.519 --> 00:31:59.980
 made

00:31:59.980 --> 00:32:00.960
 flesh,

00:32:02.340 --> 00:32:02.660
 emptied

00:32:02.660 --> 00:32:03.120
 himself,

00:32:03.299 --> 00:32:03.580
 became

00:32:03.580 --> 00:32:03.960
 humble

00:32:03.960 --> 00:32:04.360
 as a

00:32:04.360 --> 00:32:04.660
 servant,

00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:05.000
 and he

00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:05.440
 suffered

00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:06.400
 on our

00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:07.780
 behalf.

00:32:09.220 --> 00:32:09.480
 Jesus

00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:09.900
 says,

00:32:09.980 --> 00:32:10.160
 John

00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:10.400
 chapter

00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:10.840
 13

00:32:10.840 --> 00:32:11.160
 verse

00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:11.600
 16,

00:32:11.700 --> 00:32:11.860
 truly,

00:32:11.960 --> 00:32:12.240
 truly I

00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:12.540
 say to

00:32:12.540 --> 00:32:12.700
 you,

00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:13.519
 a servant

00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:14.160
 is not

00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:14.780
 greater

00:32:14.780 --> 00:32:16.040
 than his

00:32:16.040 --> 00:32:16.519
 master,

00:32:17.040 --> 00:32:17.620
 nor is

00:32:17.620 --> 00:32:18.220
 a messenger

00:32:18.220 --> 00:32:18.800
 greater

00:32:18.800 --> 00:32:19.700
 than the

00:32:19.700 --> 00:32:20.820
 one who

00:32:20.820 --> 00:32:21.360
 sent him.

00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:23.320
 The

00:32:23.320 --> 00:32:23.880
 message

00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:24.759
 of Jesus

00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:25.420
 Christ

00:32:25.420 --> 00:32:26.460
 is that

00:32:26.460 --> 00:32:27.860
 he lived,

00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:28.880
 he suffered,

00:32:29.040 --> 00:32:29.900
 and he died

00:32:29.900 --> 00:32:31.100
 for us.

00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:32.300
 And his

00:32:32.300 --> 00:32:32.800
 messengers

00:32:32.800 --> 00:32:33.420
 are meant

00:32:33.420 --> 00:32:34.000
 to bring

00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:35.320
 that message

00:32:35.320 --> 00:32:35.860
 in.

00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:36.759
 Our

00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:37.160
 suffering.

00:32:38.580 --> 00:32:38.700
 The

00:32:38.700 --> 00:32:38.940
 proper

00:32:38.940 --> 00:32:39.240
 Christian

00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:39.680
 life

00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:40.200
 is one

00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:40.580
 of

00:32:40.580 --> 00:32:41.700
 daily

00:32:41.700 --> 00:32:43.280
 death.

00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:44.200
 And Paul

00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:44.600
 writes in

00:32:44.600 --> 00:32:45.220
 2 Corinthians

00:32:45.220 --> 00:32:46.600
 chapter 4

00:32:46.600 --> 00:32:47.019
 verse 8

00:32:47.019 --> 00:32:47.480
 and following,

00:32:47.620 --> 00:32:47.840
 we are

00:32:47.840 --> 00:32:48.600
 afflicted in

00:32:48.600 --> 00:32:49.240
 every way

00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:50.000
 but not

00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:50.500
 crushed,

00:32:50.900 --> 00:32:51.580
 perplexed

00:32:51.580 --> 00:32:52.100
 but not

00:32:52.100 --> 00:32:52.519
 driven to

00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:53.000
 despair,

00:32:53.560 --> 00:32:54.040
 persecuted

00:32:54.040 --> 00:32:54.759
 but not

00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:55.300
 forsaken,

00:32:55.820 --> 00:32:56.180
 struck

00:32:56.180 --> 00:32:57.180
 down but

00:32:57.180 --> 00:32:57.560
 not

00:32:57.560 --> 00:32:58.259
 destroyed,

00:32:59.040 --> 00:32:59.519
 always

00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:00.280
 carrying in

00:33:00.280 --> 00:33:00.860
 the body

00:33:00.860 --> 00:33:01.900
 the death

00:33:01.900 --> 00:33:02.980
 of Jesus.

00:33:02.980 --> 00:33:03.960
 so the

00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:04.579
 life of

00:33:04.579 --> 00:33:04.819

00:33:08.660 --> 00:33:09.099
 For we

00:33:09.099 --> 00:33:09.700
 who live

00:33:09.700 --> 00:33:10.319

00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:12.819
 sake,

00:33:13.339 --> 00:33:13.700
 so the

00:33:13.700 --> 00:33:14.200
 life of

00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:14.480
 Jesus

00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:15.360
 also may

00:33:15.360 --> 00:33:15.559

00:33:16.900 --> 00:33:17.400
 flesh.

00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:18.579
 So death

00:33:18.579 --> 00:33:19.120
 is at work

00:33:19.120 --> 00:33:19.660
 in us

00:33:19.660 --> 00:33:20.400
 but life

00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:21.759

00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:22.740
 There's this

00:33:22.740 --> 00:33:23.740
 impartation

00:33:23.740 --> 00:33:25.240

00:33:25.700 --> 00:33:26.059
 who see

00:33:26.059 --> 00:33:26.880
 us suffer

 left

 every

00:35:29.139 --> 00:35:29.260
 the

00:35:29.260 --> 00:35:29.599
 point

00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:30.420
 record.

00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:31.300
 They're

00:35:31.300 --> 00:35:31.559
 charged,

00:35:31.619 --> 00:35:31.740
 they're

00:35:31.740 --> 00:35:32.099
 beaten,

00:35:33.000 --> 00:35:33.440
 they're

00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:33.760
 charged

00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:34.360
 not

00:35:34.360 --> 00:35:34.539
 to

00:35:34.539 --> 00:35:34.700
 preach

00:35:34.700 --> 00:35:34.920
 about

00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:35.380
 Christ,

00:35:35.579 --> 00:35:36.000
 they're

00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:36.320
 so

00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:36.860
 happy

00:35:36.860 --> 00:35:37.159
 that

00:35:37.159 --> 00:35:37.280
 they

00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:37.420
 got

00:35:37.420 --> 00:35:37.579
 to

00:35:37.579 --> 00:35:38.019
 suffer

00:35:38.019 --> 00:35:38.260
 as

00:35:38.260 --> 00:35:38.539
 Christ

00:35:38.539 --> 00:35:38.960
 suffered,

00:35:39.180 --> 00:35:39.340
 and

00:35:39.340 --> 00:35:39.440
 what

00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:39.500
 do

00:35:39.500 --> 00:35:39.579
 they

00:35:39.579 --> 00:35:39.800
 do?

00:35:40.260 --> 00:35:40.480
 They

00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:40.700
 go

00:35:40.700 --> 00:35:41.019
 around

00:35:41.019 --> 00:35:41.400
 teaching

00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:41.720
 that

00:35:41.720 --> 00:35:41.980
 Jesus

00:35:41.980 --> 00:35:43.519
 is

00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:43.679
 the

00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:44.139
 Christ.

00:35:46.099 --> 00:35:46.699
 Again,

00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:47.460
 if you're

00:35:47.460 --> 00:35:47.820
 not

00:35:47.820 --> 00:35:48.280
 okay

00:35:48.280 --> 00:35:48.800
 with

00:35:48.800 --> 00:35:48.960
 this

00:35:48.960 --> 00:35:49.360
 teaching,

00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:50.199
 then you

00:35:50.199 --> 00:35:50.800
 do not

00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:51.139
 treasure

00:35:51.139 --> 00:35:51.679
 Christ

00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:52.159
 as

00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:52.460
 you

00:35:52.460 --> 00:35:53.240
 ought

00:35:53.240 --> 00:35:53.440
 to.

00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:54.500
 The

00:35:54.500 --> 00:35:54.940
 way

00:35:54.940 --> 00:35:55.260
 of

00:35:55.260 --> 00:35:55.539
 Jesus

00:35:55.539 --> 00:35:56.099
 is

00:35:56.099 --> 00:35:56.240
 the

00:35:56.240 --> 00:35:56.599
 way

00:35:56.599 --> 00:35:57.780
 of

00:35:57.780 --> 00:35:58.119
 suffering.

00:35:59.340 --> 00:35:59.579
 Now

00:35:59.579 --> 00:35:59.740
 I want

00:35:59.740 --> 00:36:00.000
 to show

00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:00.400
 you this

00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:00.760
 from the

00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:01.019
 book of

00:36:01.019 --> 00:36:01.340
 Hebrews

00:36:01.340 --> 00:36:02.960
 in

00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:03.320
 closing.

00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:03.519
 So

00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:03.760
 turn

00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:03.900
 with

00:36:03.900 --> 00:36:04.000
 me

00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:04.119
 if

00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:04.219
 you

00:36:04.219 --> 00:36:04.380
 will

00:36:04.380 --> 00:36:04.539
 to

00:36:04.539 --> 00:36:04.840
 Hebrews

00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:05.320
 chapter

00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:05.940
 10.

00:36:11.980 --> 00:36:20.260
 Beloved,

00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:20.639
 beyond

00:36:20.639 --> 00:36:20.840
 the

00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:21.139
 suffering

00:36:21.139 --> 00:36:21.420
 of

00:36:21.420 --> 00:36:21.820
 Christ,

00:36:22.380 --> 00:36:23.179
 there

00:36:23.179 --> 00:36:23.440
 is a

00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:23.820
 great

00:36:23.820 --> 00:36:24.079
 and

00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:24.679
 eternal

00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:25.760
 joy

00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:26.679
 that

00:36:26.679 --> 00:36:26.980
 awaits

00:36:26.980 --> 00:36:27.360
 us.

00:36:27.659 --> 00:36:27.920
 We

00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:28.260
 get a

00:36:28.260 --> 00:36:28.619
 taste

00:36:28.619 --> 00:36:28.820
 of

00:36:28.820 --> 00:36:29.079
 that

00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:29.440
 joy

00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:30.000
 even

00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:30.740
 here

00:36:30.740 --> 00:36:31.059
 and

00:36:31.059 --> 00:36:31.579
 now,

00:36:31.659 --> 00:36:31.760
 and

00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:31.920
 we'll

00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:32.159
 have

00:36:32.159 --> 00:36:32.539
 so

00:36:32.539 --> 00:36:33.119
 much

00:36:33.119 --> 00:36:33.260
 of

00:36:33.260 --> 00:36:33.400
 it

00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:33.920
 later.

00:36:35.139 --> 00:36:35.420
 And

00:36:35.420 --> 00:36:35.539
 the

00:36:35.539 --> 00:36:35.760
 writer

00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:35.900
 of

00:36:35.900 --> 00:36:36.119
 Hebrews

00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:36.519
 makes

00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:36.760
 this

00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:37.139
 case

00:36:37.139 --> 00:36:37.719
 across

00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:37.940
 the

00:36:37.940 --> 00:36:38.159
 text.

00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:38.360
 I'm

00:36:38.360 --> 00:36:38.619
 so

00:36:38.619 --> 00:36:38.900
 looking

00:36:38.900 --> 00:36:39.280
 forward

00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:40.119
 to

00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:40.480
 working

00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:40.880
 through

00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:41.139
 the

00:36:41.139 --> 00:36:41.460
 entire

00:36:41.460 --> 00:36:41.800
 book

00:36:41.800 --> 00:36:42.039
 of

00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:42.440
 Hebrews

00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:42.640
 and

00:36:42.640 --> 00:36:42.880
 picking

00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:43.120
 this

00:36:43.120 --> 00:36:43.340
 theme

00:36:43.340 --> 00:36:43.500
 up

00:36:43.500 --> 00:36:43.880
 again

00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:44.360
 and

00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:44.700
 again

00:36:44.700 --> 00:36:45.200
 and

00:36:45.200 --> 00:36:45.400
 again.

00:36:45.580 --> 00:36:45.740
 But

00:36:45.740 --> 00:36:45.840
 I

00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:46.019
 want

00:36:46.019 --> 00:36:46.120
 to

00:36:46.120 --> 00:36:46.360
 show

00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:46.600
 you

00:36:46.600 --> 00:36:47.019
 that

00:36:47.019 --> 00:36:47.140
 he

00:36:47.140 --> 00:36:47.500
 makes

00:36:47.500 --> 00:36:47.680
 the

00:36:47.680 --> 00:36:48.039
 argument

00:36:48.039 --> 00:36:48.260
 to

00:36:48.260 --> 00:36:48.560
 them

00:36:48.560 --> 00:36:48.740
 to

00:36:48.740 --> 00:36:49.480
 persevere

00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:49.660
 to

00:36:49.660 --> 00:36:49.940
 keep

00:36:49.940 --> 00:36:50.420
 on

00:36:50.420 --> 00:36:50.740
 in

00:36:50.740 --> 00:36:51.080
 their

00:36:51.080 --> 00:36:51.660
 suffering

00:36:51.660 --> 00:36:53.019
 and

00:36:53.019 --> 00:36:53.120
 he

00:36:53.120 --> 00:36:53.320
 makes

00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:53.440
 it

00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:54.000
 first

00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:54.380
 Hebrews

00:36:54.380 --> 00:36:54.600
 chapter

00:36:54.600 --> 00:36:54.880
 10

00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:55.100
 verse

00:36:55.100 --> 00:36:55.519
 32

00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:55.720
 through

00:36:55.720 --> 00:36:56.220
 35

00:36:56.220 --> 00:36:57.220
 with

00:36:57.220 --> 00:36:57.460
 their

00:36:57.460 --> 00:36:57.660
 own

00:36:57.660 --> 00:36:58.280
 experience.

00:36:58.580 --> 00:36:59.080
 He

00:36:59.080 --> 00:36:59.480
 reminds

00:36:59.480 --> 00:36:59.680
 them

00:36:59.680 --> 00:36:59.940
 of

00:36:59.940 --> 00:37:00.680
 themselves.

00:37:01.500 --> 00:37:01.620
 He

00:37:01.620 --> 00:37:02.360
 argues

00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:02.380
!

00:37:02.380 --> 00:37:02.700
 them

00:37:02.700 --> 00:37:03.720
 with

00:37:03.720 --> 00:37:03.900
 their

00:37:03.900 --> 00:37:04.120
 own

00:37:04.120 --> 00:37:04.539
 case.

00:37:05.700 --> 00:37:05.780
 He

00:37:05.780 --> 00:37:06.100
 says,

00:37:06.600 --> 00:37:06.620
 but

00:37:06.620 --> 00:37:07.100
 recall

00:37:07.100 --> 00:37:07.640
 the

00:37:07.640 --> 00:37:07.960
 former

00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:08.440
 days

00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:08.740
 when

00:37:08.740 --> 00:37:09.300
 after

00:37:09.300 --> 00:37:09.560
 you

00:37:11.800 --> 00:37:12.320
 endured

00:37:12.320 --> 00:37:12.539
 a

00:37:12.539 --> 00:37:12.940
 hard

00:37:12.940 --> 00:37:13.500
 struggle

00:37:13.500 --> 00:37:14.360
 with

00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:14.900
 sufferings

00:37:14.900 --> 00:37:15.539
 sometimes

00:37:15.539 --> 00:37:15.900
 being

00:37:15.900 --> 00:37:16.360
 publicly

00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:16.920
 exposed

00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:17.140
 to

00:37:17.140 --> 00:37:17.840
 reproach

00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:18.380
 and

00:37:18.380 --> 00:37:18.880
 affliction

00:37:18.880 --> 00:37:19.960
 and

00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:20.300
 sometimes

00:37:20.300 --> 00:37:20.680
 being

00:37:20.680 --> 00:37:21.140
 partners

00:37:21.140 --> 00:37:21.420
 with

00:37:21.420 --> 00:37:21.780
 those

00:37:21.780 --> 00:37:22.280
 so

00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:23.240
 treated

00:37:23.240 --> 00:37:24.160
 for

00:37:24.160 --> 00:37:24.320
 you

00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:24.519
 had

00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:25.019
 compassion

00:37:25.019 --> 00:37:25.240
 on

00:37:25.240 --> 00:37:25.420
 those

00:37:25.420 --> 00:37:25.560
 in

00:37:25.560 --> 00:37:25.880
 prison

00:37:25.880 --> 00:37:26.700
 and

00:37:26.700 --> 00:37:26.860
 you

00:37:26.860 --> 00:37:27.480
 joyfully

00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:27.960
 accepted

00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:28.160
 the

00:37:28.160 --> 00:37:28.620
 plundering

00:37:28.620 --> 00:37:28.920
 of

00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:29.060
 your

00:37:29.060 --> 00:37:29.539
 property

00:37:29.539 --> 00:37:30.500
 since

00:37:30.500 --> 00:37:30.680
 you

00:37:30.680 --> 00:37:31.080
 knew

00:37:31.080 --> 00:37:31.380
 that

00:37:31.380 --> 00:37:31.580
 you

00:37:31.580 --> 00:37:32.200
 yourselves

00:37:32.200 --> 00:37:32.920
 had

00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:33.080
 a

00:37:33.080 --> 00:37:33.340
 better

00:37:33.340 --> 00:37:33.900
 possession

00:37:33.900 --> 00:37:34.760
 and

00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:34.880
 an

00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:35.240
 abiding

00:37:35.240 --> 00:37:35.580
 one.

00:37:36.420 --> 00:37:36.620
 Therefore

00:37:36.620 --> 00:37:37.039
 do

00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:37.340
 not

00:37:37.340 --> 00:37:37.660
 throw

00:37:37.660 --> 00:37:37.960
 away

00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:38.180
 your

00:37:38.180 --> 00:37:38.840
 confidence

00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:39.519
 which

00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:39.700
 has

00:37:39.700 --> 00:37:39.860
 a

00:37:39.860 --> 00:37:40.400
 great

00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:41.519
 reward.

00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:42.740
 So

00:37:42.740 --> 00:37:42.960
 they

00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:43.380
 themselves

00:37:43.380 --> 00:37:43.580
 are

00:37:43.580 --> 00:37:44.019
 suffering

00:37:44.019 --> 00:37:44.660
 right

00:37:44.660 --> 00:37:44.980
 they're

00:37:44.980 --> 00:37:45.140
 being

00:37:45.140 --> 00:37:45.580
 publicly

00:37:45.580 --> 00:37:46.320
 exposed

00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:47.300
 reproach

00:37:47.300 --> 00:37:47.780
 there's

00:37:47.780 --> 00:37:48.200
 evil

00:37:48.200 --> 00:37:48.539
 words

00:37:48.539 --> 00:37:48.720
 being

00:37:48.720 --> 00:37:49.019
 spoken

00:37:49.019 --> 00:37:49.300
 against

00:37:49.300 --> 00:37:49.440
 them

00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:50.100
 affliction

00:37:50.100 --> 00:37:50.420
 there's

00:37:50.420 --> 00:37:50.760
 likely

00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:51.140
 some

00:37:51.140 --> 00:37:51.460
 kind

00:37:51.460 --> 00:37:51.580

00:37:51.580 --> 00:37:52.120
 physical

00:37:52.120 --> 00:37:52.760

00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:53.660

00:37:54.380 --> 00:37:54.560
 at

00:37:54.560 --> 00:37:55.120
 times

00:37:55.120 --> 00:37:55.580
 they're

00:37:55.580 --> 00:37:56.000
 partnering

00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:56.280
 with

00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:56.539
 some

00:37:56.539 --> 00:37:56.760
 who've

00:37:56.760 --> 00:37:56.880

00:37:58.680 --> 00:37:58.860
 if

00:37:58.860 --> 00:37:58.980

00:38:05.220 --> 00:38:05.500
 they're

00:38:05.500 --> 00:38:06.160

00:39:23.039 --> 00:39:23.559
 Pharaoh's

00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:24.280
 daughter

00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:24.460
 you

00:39:24.460 --> 00:39:24.599
 remember

00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:24.880
 Moses

00:39:24.880 --> 00:39:25.059
 was

00:39:25.059 --> 00:39:25.219
 a

00:39:25.219 --> 00:39:25.639
 prince

00:39:25.639 --> 00:39:26.900
 of

00:39:26.900 --> 00:39:27.099
 a

00:39:27.099 --> 00:39:27.500
 wealthy

00:39:27.500 --> 00:39:28.179
 nation

00:39:28.179 --> 00:39:29.760
 choosing

00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:30.460
 rather

00:39:30.460 --> 00:39:31.019
 to be

00:39:31.019 --> 00:39:31.920
 mistreated

00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:32.900
 with the

00:39:32.900 --> 00:39:33.179
 people

00:39:33.179 --> 00:39:33.400
 of

00:39:33.400 --> 00:39:33.760
 God

00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:33.960
 than

00:39:33.960 --> 00:39:34.139
 to

00:39:34.139 --> 00:39:34.719
 enjoy

00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:35.400
 the

00:39:35.400 --> 00:39:35.960
 fleeting

00:39:35.960 --> 00:39:36.920
 pleasures

00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:37.719
 of

00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:38.000
 sin

00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:39.179
 passing

00:39:39.179 --> 00:39:39.799
 sand

00:39:39.799 --> 00:39:40.000
 through

00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:40.159
 his

00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:40.439
 fingers

00:39:40.439 --> 00:39:41.000
 fleeting

00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:41.579
 pleasures

00:39:41.579 --> 00:39:42.419
 of

00:39:42.419 --> 00:39:42.739
 sin

00:39:42.739 --> 00:39:43.299
 he

00:39:43.299 --> 00:39:43.879
 considered

00:39:43.879 --> 00:39:44.480
 and I

00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:45.099
 love that

00:39:45.099 --> 00:39:45.599
 the author of Hebrews

00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:46.379
 does this

00:39:46.379 --> 00:39:50.539
 Moses didn't have this particular thing in mind

00:39:50.539 --> 00:39:55.400
 but we get this inspired commentary on what's going on as Moses is looking

00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:58.000
 forward to being gods

00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:00.059
 right to belonging to God

00:40:00.059 --> 00:40:03.259
 he considered the reproach of Christ

00:40:03.259 --> 00:40:11.039
 greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt for he was looking to the reward

00:40:11.039 --> 00:40:11.059
!

00:40:11.059 --> 00:40:17.219
 so he makes a case to the Hebrews by their own argument

00:40:17.219 --> 00:40:31.739
 then he does it with Moses and Moses is giving up the fleeting pleasures the treasures of Egypt for the greater treasure of Christ himself and then he makes the argument with Christ

00:40:31.739 --> 00:40:31.739


00:40:31.739 --> 00:40:33.699
 Hebrews chapter 12

00:40:33.699 --> 00:40:35.819
 verse 1 and 2

00:40:35.819 --> 00:40:37.459
 so following 11

00:40:37.459 --> 00:40:40.259
 we have all of these who buy faith

00:40:40.259 --> 00:40:41.779
 and then the writer of Hebrews says

00:40:41.779 --> 00:40:45.819
 therefore since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses

00:40:45.819 --> 00:40:48.539
 all of these faithful ones that have gone before us

00:40:48.539 --> 00:40:52.359
 let us also lay aside every weight and sin which clings so closely

00:40:52.359 --> 00:40:55.859
 and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us right

00:40:55.859 --> 00:40:57.459
 in the midst of our suffering

00:40:57.460 --> 00:40:59.740
 let us run with endurance

00:40:59.740 --> 00:41:02.920
 looking to Jesus

00:41:02.920 --> 00:41:05.840
 seeing him as our example

00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:11.240
 the founder and perfecter of our faith

00:41:11.240 --> 00:41:15.679
 who for the joy that was set before him

00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:18.119
 endured the cross

00:41:18.119 --> 00:41:20.179
 despising the shame

00:41:20.179 --> 00:41:23.639
 and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God

00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:25.460
 so

00:41:25.460 --> 00:41:28.339
 as we suffer in this world

00:41:28.339 --> 00:41:29.299
 we're to look to

00:41:29.299 --> 00:41:30.219
 Jesus

00:41:30.219 --> 00:41:32.799
 who shows us

00:41:32.799 --> 00:41:34.559
 how it is we are to

00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:35.379
 suffer

00:41:35.379 --> 00:41:37.059
 and how did he do this?

00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:39.319
 he looked to the joy

00:41:39.319 --> 00:41:40.440
 that was set

00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:41.519
 before him

00:41:41.519 --> 00:41:43.519
 he looked to the eternal

00:41:43.519 --> 00:41:47.440
 reward of being seated at the right hand

00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:48.819
 of God

00:41:48.819 --> 00:41:51.179
 and then again

00:41:51.179 --> 00:41:52.719
 in the life of Christ

00:41:52.719 --> 00:41:54.039
 Hebrews chapter 13

00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:56.079
 verse 12

00:41:56.079 --> 00:41:56.559
 and

00:41:56.559 --> 00:41:58.259
 following

00:41:58.259 --> 00:42:00.839
 so Jesus

00:42:00.839 --> 00:42:02.139
 also suffered

00:42:02.139 --> 00:42:03.419
 outside the gate

00:42:03.419 --> 00:42:04.159
 in order to

00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:05.659
 sanctify the people

00:42:05.659 --> 00:42:07.480
 through his own blood

00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:08.839
 therefore

00:42:08.839 --> 00:42:11.659
 let us go to him

00:42:11.659 --> 00:42:13.519
 outside the camp

00:42:13.519 --> 00:42:15.119
 and bear

00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:16.319
 the reproach

00:42:16.319 --> 00:42:17.759
 he endured

00:42:17.759 --> 00:42:20.239
 the author is doing that

00:42:20.239 --> 00:42:21.679
 let us follow Christ

00:42:21.679 --> 00:42:23.119
 to where Christ went

00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:25.459
 bear the reproach

00:42:25.459 --> 00:42:26.059
 that he

00:42:26.059 --> 00:42:27.299
 endured

00:42:27.299 --> 00:42:27.939
 why?

00:42:28.779 --> 00:42:29.319
 for

00:42:29.319 --> 00:42:31.059
 here we have no

00:42:31.059 --> 00:42:31.919
 lasting

00:42:31.919 --> 00:42:33.359
 city

00:42:33.359 --> 00:42:35.859
 all the pleasures of this world

00:42:35.859 --> 00:42:36.719
 are going to turn to dust

00:42:36.719 --> 00:42:37.399
 one day

00:42:37.399 --> 00:42:38.139
 but we

00:42:38.139 --> 00:42:38.919
 seek

00:42:38.919 --> 00:42:39.519
 the city

00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:41.039
 that is to come

00:42:41.039 --> 00:42:43.079
 it's a better city

00:42:43.079 --> 00:42:44.579
 it's a more glorious city

00:42:44.579 --> 00:42:45.500
 it's an eternal

00:42:45.500 --> 00:42:46.219
 city

00:42:46.219 --> 00:42:47.099
 where Christ

00:42:47.099 --> 00:42:47.859
 will reign

00:42:47.859 --> 00:42:48.579
 forever

00:42:48.579 --> 00:42:49.900
 and we will reign

00:42:49.900 --> 00:42:51.159
 with him

00:42:51.159 --> 00:42:53.000
 Paul

00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:53.840
 rejoiced

00:42:53.840 --> 00:42:55.059
 in his sufferings

00:42:55.059 --> 00:42:56.860
 because he knew

00:42:56.860 --> 00:42:58.599
 that it was for

00:42:58.599 --> 00:42:59.360
 the gain

00:42:59.360 --> 00:42:59.759
 of the

00:42:59.759 --> 00:43:01.199
 Colossian church

00:43:01.199 --> 00:43:02.380
 and

00:43:02.380 --> 00:43:03.639
 it was for his

00:43:03.639 --> 00:43:05.159
 eternal reward

00:43:05.159 --> 00:43:07.559
 this is glorious

00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:09.639
 this is wonderful

00:43:09.639 --> 00:43:11.279
 that we would

00:43:11.279 --> 00:43:12.119
 want to follow

00:43:12.119 --> 00:43:12.599
 Christ

00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:13.639
 in a way

00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:14.819
 that we

00:43:14.819 --> 00:43:15.619
 suffer

00:43:15.619 --> 00:43:16.980
 that we're

00:43:16.980 --> 00:43:17.539
 looking

00:43:17.539 --> 00:43:18.500
 toward

00:43:18.500 --> 00:43:20.019
 an eternal

00:43:20.019 --> 00:43:20.480
 reward

00:43:20.480 --> 00:43:21.019
 the good of

00:43:21.019 --> 00:43:21.279
 others

00:43:21.279 --> 00:43:21.880
 and the glory

00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:22.480
 of God

00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:25.239
 on your bulletin

00:43:25.239 --> 00:43:25.659
 there's a

00:43:25.659 --> 00:43:26.639
 quote from

00:43:26.639 --> 00:43:27.380
 John Trapp

00:43:27.380 --> 00:43:28.039
 who is a

00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:28.759
 if I'm getting this right

00:43:28.759 --> 00:43:29.739
 a 16th century

00:43:29.739 --> 00:43:31.159
 Anglican commentator

00:43:31.159 --> 00:43:32.440
 and he said this simple

00:43:32.440 --> 00:43:33.699
 thing and I just like it

00:43:33.699 --> 00:43:34.659
 stuck in my brain

00:43:34.659 --> 00:43:35.179
 this week

00:43:35.179 --> 00:43:37.079
 he that rides

00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:38.219
 to be crowned

00:43:38.219 --> 00:43:39.539
 you're headed to your

00:43:39.539 --> 00:43:40.239
 coronation

00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:41.099
 ceremony

00:43:41.099 --> 00:43:42.539
 you're going to this

00:43:42.539 --> 00:43:43.360
 most glorious

00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:43.960
 event

00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:45.639
 where you

00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:46.759
 will reign

00:43:46.759 --> 00:43:47.799
 with Christ

00:43:47.799 --> 00:43:49.920
 he who rides

00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:50.679
 to be crowned

00:43:50.679 --> 00:43:51.539
 will not think

00:43:51.539 --> 00:43:52.119
 much

00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:53.659
 of a rainy day

00:43:53.659 --> 00:43:55.259
 press

00:43:55.259 --> 00:43:56.579
 right on

00:43:56.579 --> 00:43:58.779
 through it

00:43:58.779 --> 00:44:01.380
 so in conclusion

00:44:01.380 --> 00:44:03.619
 suffering is a

00:44:03.619 --> 00:44:04.699
 primary means

00:44:04.699 --> 00:44:05.500
 by which we

00:44:05.500 --> 00:44:06.659
 are to spread

00:44:06.659 --> 00:44:07.219
 the gospel

00:44:07.219 --> 00:44:07.940
 of reconciliation

00:44:07.940 --> 00:44:09.199
 to all the peoples

00:44:09.199 --> 00:44:09.779
 of the world

00:44:09.780 --> 00:44:11.320
 in order to yield

00:44:11.320 --> 00:44:12.540
 God centered

00:44:12.540 --> 00:44:13.340
 Christ

00:44:13.340 --> 00:44:14.480
 exalting

00:44:14.480 --> 00:44:15.980
 churches

00:44:15.980 --> 00:44:18.240
 Christ family

00:44:18.240 --> 00:44:18.760
 church

00:44:18.760 --> 00:44:19.940
 exists

00:44:19.940 --> 00:44:21.460
 to glorify

00:44:21.460 --> 00:44:21.880
 God

00:44:21.880 --> 00:44:22.800
 by experiencing

00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:24.400
 proclaiming

00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:25.540
 and displaying

00:44:25.540 --> 00:44:26.440
 the supremacy

00:44:26.440 --> 00:44:27.720
 of Jesus Christ

00:44:27.720 --> 00:44:29.240
 in all things

00:44:29.240 --> 00:44:29.860
 including

00:44:29.860 --> 00:44:31.160
 our suffering

00:44:31.160 --> 00:44:32.160
 to

00:44:32.160 --> 00:44:33.160
 all

00:44:33.160 --> 00:44:34.720
 peoples

00:44:34.720 --> 00:44:37.580
 beloved

00:44:37.580 --> 00:44:38.180
 we must

00:44:38.180 --> 00:44:39.100
 ask ourselves

00:44:39.099 --> 00:44:39.679
 if we are

00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:40.579
 living to this

00:44:40.579 --> 00:44:41.539
 high mark

00:44:41.539 --> 00:44:42.119
 as a community

00:44:42.119 --> 00:44:43.179
 of faith

00:44:43.179 --> 00:44:44.719
 I am

00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:45.299
 confident

00:44:45.299 --> 00:44:46.599
 that we have

00:44:46.599 --> 00:44:47.440
 much work to do

00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:47.880
 and I am

00:44:47.880 --> 00:44:48.619
 confident that the

00:44:48.619 --> 00:44:49.259
 Lord will be

00:44:49.259 --> 00:44:50.079
 kind to us

00:44:50.079 --> 00:44:50.539
 as we study

00:44:50.539 --> 00:44:50.940
 the book of

00:44:50.940 --> 00:44:51.239
 Hebrews
