WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.720
 Thank you again for the invitation to be with you,

00:00:02.899 --> 00:00:05.440
 and as I have done before,

00:00:05.620 --> 00:00:08.859
 thank you for your prayers and support

00:00:08.859 --> 00:00:13.320
 of the outreach and witness of Christian students

00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:16.000
 through the Christian unions throughout Scotland.

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:21.280
 We're very grateful to you for praying for that evangelistic effort.

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:26.879
 The door of opportunity for the gospel on the university campus

00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:30.019
 is still pretty much wide open.

00:00:30.939 --> 00:00:34.299
 Some pushback, and we're coming to look at that in 1 Peter.

00:00:35.060 --> 00:00:39.340
 But we're just off the back of five mission weeks

00:00:39.340 --> 00:00:42.000
 run by the CEUs throughout Scotland,

00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:48.200
 and we have seen a small number of people profess faith

00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.060
 and many more elsewhere in the UK,

00:00:51.899 --> 00:00:54.879
 and others now reading Mark's gospel,

00:00:54.880 --> 00:01:01.980
 which we have specifically produced in a version for students

00:01:01.980 --> 00:01:04.560
 with their Bible studies at the back of it,

00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:09.240
 and then others still engaged with their questions and struggles

00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:14.020
 and issues as they pursue truth and meaning.

00:01:14.460 --> 00:01:16.480
 So thank you for your prayers,

00:01:16.820 --> 00:01:20.260
 and do pray for the Christians at university

00:01:20.260 --> 00:01:22.440
 as they gather around the gospel

00:01:22.440 --> 00:01:25.219
 and seek to make it known to their campuses.

00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:30.180
 Well, we had our Bible reading here in 1 Peter 4,

00:01:30.900 --> 00:01:34.439
 verses 12 to 19,

00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.120
 and in one sense,

00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:39.980
 this is one of these Bible passages

00:01:39.980 --> 00:01:44.620
 where there is not much about the passage

00:01:44.620 --> 00:01:46.820
 that is difficult to understand.

00:01:46.819 --> 00:01:49.319
 As the Apostle writes,

00:01:49.379 --> 00:01:52.259
 and I guess you've been looking through 1 Peter,

00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:53.439
 is that right?

00:01:53.919 --> 00:01:56.919
 As the Apostle writes this letter,

00:01:57.699 --> 00:02:01.299
 and indeed as he writes the next letter,

00:02:01.500 --> 00:02:03.500
 which is known to us as 2 Peter,

00:02:04.219 --> 00:02:05.959
 he is writing,

00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.500
 and he says this explicitly about both letters,

00:02:09.500 --> 00:02:12.960
 in 2 Peter 3, verse 1,

00:02:13.060 --> 00:02:15.699
 he is writing to stimulate the believers

00:02:15.699 --> 00:02:17.780
 to wholesome thinking.

00:02:19.139 --> 00:02:25.060
 And he goes on in verse 2 of that chapter

00:02:25.060 --> 00:02:25.460
 to say,

00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:28.800
 I want you to recall the words spoken in the past

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:29.879
 by the holy prophets

00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.460
 and the command given by our Lord and Savior

00:02:32.460 --> 00:02:33.539
 through your apostles.

00:02:34.020 --> 00:02:36.319
 Wholesome thinking for us Christian believers

00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:40.239
 is recalling what the Scriptures say,

00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:42.659
 the prophets and the apostles.

00:02:43.340 --> 00:02:44.799
 And the message of the prophets

00:02:44.799 --> 00:02:46.979
 was so often, wasn't it?

00:02:47.459 --> 00:02:48.359
 A day is coming.

00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:50.180
 Judgment is coming.

00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:52.439
 And the message of the apostles,

00:02:53.299 --> 00:02:54.699
 Christ will return again.

00:02:55.359 --> 00:02:56.359
 Look to the future.

00:02:56.819 --> 00:02:57.680
 A day is coming.

00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.460
 And you can live now

00:03:00.460 --> 00:03:03.760
 in the light of what you know is ahead.

00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:06.460
 And what Peter is saying

00:03:06.460 --> 00:03:08.800
 throughout both of these letters

00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:11.000
 is live today,

00:03:11.180 --> 00:03:11.939
 live this week,

00:03:12.040 --> 00:03:12.780
 live now,

00:03:13.500 --> 00:03:16.280
 not just focusing on the here and now

00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.060
 and being all consumed

00:03:18.060 --> 00:03:20.020
 by what you can see and experience,

00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:22.460
 but live today

00:03:22.460 --> 00:03:26.300
 with biblical perspective

00:03:26.300 --> 00:03:30.000
 in your mind.

00:03:30.200 --> 00:03:31.219
 Wholesome thinking,

00:03:31.379 --> 00:03:33.240
 remembering that what we do today

00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:34.920
 for the Lord Jesus

00:03:34.920 --> 00:03:35.960
 is lived out

00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:37.280
 with the day

00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:38.879
 that is still to come

00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:40.420
 very much in mind.

00:03:41.379 --> 00:03:42.760
 Now, part of that

00:03:42.760 --> 00:03:44.360
 living today

00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:45.300
 for tomorrow,

00:03:45.500 --> 00:03:46.680
 for the last day,

00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:47.620
 is

00:03:47.620 --> 00:03:50.319
 how do we cope

00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:54.180
 when people are suffering

00:03:54.180 --> 00:03:56.980
 for following the Lord Jesus Christ?

00:03:57.920 --> 00:03:59.420
 How do we cope

00:03:59.420 --> 00:04:00.520
 specifically

00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.780
 when there is

00:04:02.780 --> 00:04:05.000
 direct and overt

00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:06.439
 persecution

00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:07.920
 or action

00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:09.920
 against Christian people

00:04:09.920 --> 00:04:11.240
 simply because

00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:12.500
 they are Christians?

00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:13.140
 That's what

00:04:13.140 --> 00:04:14.540
 Peter is speaking about.

00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:17.360
 And as we look at the passage,

00:04:17.620 --> 00:04:18.780
 very simple

00:04:18.780 --> 00:04:19.800
 in one sense

00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:20.740
 in terms of what

00:04:20.740 --> 00:04:21.680
 we are being taught,

00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:23.519
 but very profound

00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:24.540
 in terms of how

00:04:24.540 --> 00:04:25.519
 we understand

00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:26.280
 such things

00:04:26.280 --> 00:04:27.360
 and respond to them

00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:28.519
 throughout the world

00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:30.100
 or in our own lives.

00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:32.160
 What is wholesome thinking?

00:04:33.019 --> 00:04:33.740
 That's what Peter

00:04:33.740 --> 00:04:34.980
 wants us to have.

00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:36.500
 What is wholesome thinking

00:04:36.500 --> 00:04:38.420
 with regards to

00:04:38.420 --> 00:04:39.259
 overt

00:04:39.259 --> 00:04:40.480
 persecution

00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:42.319
 of Christian believers?

00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:45.519
 I have seven

00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:46.660
 things that I want

00:04:46.660 --> 00:04:47.420
 to just briefly

00:04:47.420 --> 00:04:48.320
 run through

00:04:48.320 --> 00:04:49.540
 that might constitute

00:04:49.540 --> 00:04:51.720
 something of wholesome thinking

00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:52.520
 as we find it

00:04:52.520 --> 00:04:53.320
 in this passage.

00:04:53.780 --> 00:04:54.620
 And first of all,

00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:56.320
 this combining

00:04:56.320 --> 00:04:57.280
 of suffering

00:04:57.280 --> 00:04:58.360
 and glory,

00:04:58.620 --> 00:05:00.280
 that's a theme

00:05:00.280 --> 00:05:01.160
 in 1 Peter.

00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:01.880
 Suffering

00:05:01.880 --> 00:05:02.680
 and glory

00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:04.340
 are absolutely

00:05:04.340 --> 00:05:05.520
 held together

00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:06.580
 in the teaching

00:05:06.580 --> 00:05:07.240
 of the apostles.

00:05:07.379 --> 00:05:08.080
 Not just Peter,

00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:08.540
 of course,

00:05:08.620 --> 00:05:09.620
 but John and Paul

00:05:09.620 --> 00:05:10.120
 and the other

00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:11.160
 New Testament writers

00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:11.760
 as well.

00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.300
 it has been

00:05:15.300 --> 00:05:16.339
 this way

00:05:16.339 --> 00:05:17.740
 since the beginning

00:05:17.740 --> 00:05:18.539
 of the church.

00:05:19.740 --> 00:05:20.659
 As one

00:05:20.659 --> 00:05:22.159
 early church

00:05:22.159 --> 00:05:23.139
 writer put it,

00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:23.899
 and you'll have

00:05:23.899 --> 00:05:24.639
 heard this phrase

00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:25.180
 I suspect,

00:05:25.420 --> 00:05:27.199
 the blood of the martyrs

00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.000
 is the seed

00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:29.719
 of the church.

00:05:30.719 --> 00:05:31.500
 And so,

00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:33.060
 over the history

00:05:33.060 --> 00:05:34.259
 of the Christian church,

00:05:34.659 --> 00:05:35.539
 as predicted

00:05:35.539 --> 00:05:36.300
 and taught

00:05:36.300 --> 00:05:37.000
 in the scriptures,

00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:38.819
 when Christians

00:05:38.819 --> 00:05:40.319
 are most severely

00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:41.120
 persecuted

00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:42.639
 for following

00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:44.000
 the Lord Jesus,

00:05:44.220 --> 00:05:44.939
 far from

00:05:44.939 --> 00:05:46.420
 extinguishing

00:05:46.420 --> 00:05:47.439
 the Christian gospel

00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.079
 from society

00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:50.120
 or from a nation,

00:05:50.660 --> 00:05:52.000
 what the persecutors

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:53.220
 inadvertently do

00:05:53.220 --> 00:05:53.759
 is spread

00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:54.800
 the Christian gospel.

00:05:55.740 --> 00:05:56.939
 Something happens

00:05:56.939 --> 00:05:59.939
 when Christians

00:05:59.939 --> 00:06:01.680
 act

00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:02.500
 as Peter

00:06:02.500 --> 00:06:03.339
 asks them

00:06:03.339 --> 00:06:04.379
 to act here.

00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:06.560
 And what happens

00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:07.780
 is that

00:06:07.780 --> 00:06:08.959
 their suffering

00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:10.600
 becomes a sermon

00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.639
 to all who look on.

00:06:13.699 --> 00:06:14.579
 I want you just

00:06:14.579 --> 00:06:15.199
 to turn

00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:17.139
 to the letter

00:06:17.139 --> 00:06:18.339
 of the Philippians,

00:06:18.840 --> 00:06:20.019
 if you can,

00:06:20.220 --> 00:06:21.540
 in your Bible

00:06:21.540 --> 00:06:22.480
 or on your phone

00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:24.660
 or press the buttons

00:06:24.660 --> 00:06:25.100
 backwards

00:06:25.100 --> 00:06:26.360
 and get to

00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:27.540
 Philippians

00:06:27.540 --> 00:06:30.920
 chapter 1.

00:06:33.139 --> 00:06:34.199
 Just look at

00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:36.079
 the last

00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.360
 section of

00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:39.659
 Philippians chapter 1

00:06:39.659 --> 00:06:40.579
 with me for a moment

00:06:40.579 --> 00:06:41.659
 just so that we can see

00:06:41.659 --> 00:06:43.120
 a very clear

00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:45.180
 example of what

00:06:45.180 --> 00:06:46.759
 Paul is speaking

00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:47.560
 about here.

00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:51.579
 Philippians chapter 1

00:06:51.579 --> 00:06:52.980
 verse 27.

00:06:53.139 --> 00:06:54.159
 Whatever happens

00:06:54.159 --> 00:06:56.120
 and Philippians

00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:57.560
 was written

00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:58.779
 just at the time

00:06:58.779 --> 00:06:59.439
 that Nero

00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:00.300
 was beginning

00:07:00.300 --> 00:07:02.339
 to come to power

00:07:02.339 --> 00:07:03.179
 and the Christians

00:07:03.179 --> 00:07:03.959
 were beginning

00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:05.379
 to be persecuted.

00:07:07.699 --> 00:07:08.939
 Whatever happens

00:07:08.939 --> 00:07:09.919
 and he means by that

00:07:09.919 --> 00:07:10.739
 whether I live

00:07:10.739 --> 00:07:11.339
 or die

00:07:11.339 --> 00:07:13.560
 conduct yourselves

00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:14.419
 in other words

00:07:14.419 --> 00:07:15.739
 current behavior

00:07:15.739 --> 00:07:17.139
 in a manner

00:07:17.139 --> 00:07:18.159
 worthy of the

00:07:18.159 --> 00:07:19.059
 gospel of Christ

00:07:19.059 --> 00:07:19.539
 then

00:07:19.539 --> 00:07:20.799
 whether I come

00:07:20.799 --> 00:07:21.459
 and see you

00:07:21.459 --> 00:07:22.459
 or only hear

00:07:22.459 --> 00:07:22.919
 about you

00:07:22.919 --> 00:07:23.559
 in my absence

00:07:23.559 --> 00:07:24.919
 I will know

00:07:24.919 --> 00:07:26.000
 that you stand

00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:26.779
 firm

00:07:26.779 --> 00:07:28.279
 united in one

00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:28.679
 spirit

00:07:28.679 --> 00:07:29.399
 contending

00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:30.319
 as one

00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:31.339
 for the faith

00:07:31.339 --> 00:07:32.040
 of the gospel

00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:33.379
 without being

00:07:33.379 --> 00:07:34.319
 frightened in any

00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:34.939
 way by those

00:07:34.939 --> 00:07:35.759
 who oppose you

00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:36.579
 this

00:07:36.579 --> 00:07:37.379
 in other words

00:07:37.379 --> 00:07:39.060
 this united

00:07:39.060 --> 00:07:40.920
 standing firm

00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:41.699
 in the gospel

00:07:41.699 --> 00:07:42.719
 this

00:07:42.719 --> 00:07:43.680
 is

00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:44.819
 a sign

00:07:44.819 --> 00:07:46.199
 to them

00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:47.240
 that them

00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:48.560
 being the opponents

00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:49.920
 this is a sign

00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:50.719
 to them

00:07:50.719 --> 00:07:52.019
 that they will

00:07:52.019 --> 00:07:52.800
 be destroyed

00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:54.139
 but that you

00:07:54.139 --> 00:07:55.060
 will be saved

00:07:55.060 --> 00:07:56.659
 and that by God.

00:07:57.399 --> 00:07:57.759
 Isn't that a

00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:58.600
 remarkable thing?

00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:03.040
 As persecution

00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.020
 comes to

00:08:05.020 --> 00:08:05.980
 Christian believers

00:08:05.980 --> 00:08:09.280
 and those

00:08:09.280 --> 00:08:10.480
 who are

00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:12.140
 viciously

00:08:12.140 --> 00:08:13.000
 opposed to

00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:13.800
 the gospel

00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:15.900
 put Christians

00:08:15.900 --> 00:08:16.960
 through one

00:08:16.960 --> 00:08:17.800
 kind of suffering

00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:18.220
 another

00:08:18.220 --> 00:08:19.420
 the Christian

00:08:19.420 --> 00:08:20.280
 response to

00:08:20.280 --> 00:08:20.939
 that suffering

00:08:20.939 --> 00:08:21.900
 becomes a

00:08:21.900 --> 00:08:22.600
 sermon to

00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:23.080
 them

00:08:23.080 --> 00:08:24.660
 in which

00:08:24.660 --> 00:08:25.740
 they are

00:08:25.740 --> 00:08:26.620
 told what

00:08:26.620 --> 00:08:27.920
 they increasingly

00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:29.019
 know to be

00:08:29.019 --> 00:08:29.720
 true that they

00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:30.160
 are on the

00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:30.480
 road to

00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:31.000
 destruction

00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:32.539
 they see

00:08:32.539 --> 00:08:33.600
 the response

00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:34.320
 of a Christian

00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:35.060
 believer with

00:08:35.060 --> 00:08:35.639
 the help of

00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:36.320
 the Holy Spirit

00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:37.379
 in their lives

00:08:37.379 --> 00:08:39.299
 and they know

00:08:39.299 --> 00:08:40.159
 that these people

00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:41.039
 have something

00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:42.759
 before almighty

00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:43.440
 God that they

00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:44.220
 do not have

00:08:44.220 --> 00:08:46.240
 a remarkable

00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:46.799
 thing

00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:49.139
 and that is

00:08:49.139 --> 00:08:50.060
 just woven

00:08:50.060 --> 00:08:51.039
 into the

00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:52.220
 pattern of

00:08:52.220 --> 00:08:52.940
 the New Testament

00:08:52.940 --> 00:08:53.740
 and into the

00:08:53.740 --> 00:08:54.659
 pattern of

00:08:54.659 --> 00:08:55.259
 1 Peter

00:08:55.259 --> 00:08:55.759
 so that's

00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:56.159
 the first

00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:56.379
 thing

00:08:56.379 --> 00:08:56.799
 suffering

00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:57.559
 and glory

00:08:57.559 --> 00:08:58.519
 belong

00:08:58.519 --> 00:08:59.039
 together

00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:01.159
 and that

00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:01.720
 is not

00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:02.220
 unique

00:09:02.220 --> 00:09:03.139
 to this

00:09:03.139 --> 00:09:03.679
 particular

00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:04.299
 passage

00:09:04.299 --> 00:09:05.919
 secondly

00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:08.960
 there is

00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:09.840
 something about

00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:11.179
 being persecuted

00:09:11.179 --> 00:09:12.019
 for following

00:09:12.019 --> 00:09:12.480
 Jesus

00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:13.860
 that is

00:09:13.860 --> 00:09:14.720
 in keeping

00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:16.440
 with our

00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:16.940
 other

00:09:16.940 --> 00:09:18.120
 relationships

00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:19.340
 in the

00:09:19.340 --> 00:09:19.820
 church

00:09:19.820 --> 00:09:20.779
 in the

00:09:20.779 --> 00:09:21.160
 family

00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:21.840
 and in

00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:22.399
 society

00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:23.379
 as Christian

00:09:23.379 --> 00:09:23.759
 people

00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:24.240
 we are

00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:25.000
 constantly

00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:26.100
 conscious

00:09:26.100 --> 00:09:26.639
 of the

00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:27.100
 fact

00:09:27.100 --> 00:09:28.080
 that just

00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:28.879
 as Jesus

00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:29.639
 submitted

00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:30.660
 to the

00:09:30.660 --> 00:09:31.279
 costly

00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:31.820
 will of

00:09:31.820 --> 00:09:32.000
 his

00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:32.340
 father

00:09:32.340 --> 00:09:32.960
 for him

00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:34.279
 so we

00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:35.340
 reflecting

00:09:35.340 --> 00:09:36.320
 our union

00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:37.019
 with Jesus

00:09:37.019 --> 00:09:38.460
 are involved

00:09:38.460 --> 00:09:38.960
 in all

00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:39.600
 sorts of

00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:40.160
 relationships

00:09:40.160 --> 00:09:41.000
 where we

00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:41.740
 willingly

00:09:41.740 --> 00:09:42.639
 submit to

00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:43.180
 one another

00:09:43.179 --> 00:09:44.799
 it's the

00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:45.859
 turning upside

00:09:45.859 --> 00:09:46.639
 down of

00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:47.139
 the human

00:09:47.139 --> 00:09:47.739
 sinful

00:09:47.739 --> 00:09:48.239
 ego

00:09:48.239 --> 00:09:49.399
 when the

00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:50.399
 spirit comes

00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:50.719
 and we're

00:09:50.719 --> 00:09:51.299
 given new

00:09:51.299 --> 00:09:51.799
 life in

00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:52.239
 Christ

00:09:52.239 --> 00:09:53.279
 we become

00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:53.839
 those

00:09:53.839 --> 00:09:54.519
 who

00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:55.839
 are more

00:09:55.839 --> 00:09:56.199
 and more

00:09:56.199 --> 00:09:56.959
 inclined

00:09:56.959 --> 00:09:58.399
 to think

00:09:58.399 --> 00:09:59.319
 in a

00:09:59.319 --> 00:10:00.039
 Christ-like

00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:00.479
 way

00:10:00.479 --> 00:10:01.179
 about

00:10:01.179 --> 00:10:01.719
 kneeling

00:10:01.719 --> 00:10:02.699
 and serving

00:10:02.699 --> 00:10:04.039
 or

00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:05.039
 submitting

00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:05.579
 to a

00:10:05.579 --> 00:10:06.120
 God-given

00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:06.759
 authority

00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:08.899
 rather than

00:10:08.899 --> 00:10:09.679
 exerting

00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:10.299
 ourselves

00:10:10.299 --> 00:10:11.000
 over and

00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:11.259
 above

00:10:11.259 --> 00:10:11.740
 others

00:10:11.740 --> 00:10:12.799
 that is

00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:13.379
 part of

00:10:13.379 --> 00:10:13.580
 our

00:10:13.580 --> 00:10:14.080
 Christian

00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:14.740
 demeanor

00:10:14.740 --> 00:10:16.320
 and it

00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:17.379
 is that

00:10:17.379 --> 00:10:18.180
 part of

00:10:18.180 --> 00:10:18.379
 our

00:10:18.379 --> 00:10:18.919
 demeanor

00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:19.899
 that we

00:10:19.899 --> 00:10:20.639
 are still

00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:22.200
 portraying

00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:23.240
 if

00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:23.879
 Christians

00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:24.379
 are

00:10:24.379 --> 00:10:25.080
 persecuted

00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:26.600
 we become

00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:27.960
 like the

00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:28.700
 Lord Jesus

00:10:28.700 --> 00:10:30.080
 we are

00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:31.039
 willing to

00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:31.860
 be subject

00:10:31.860 --> 00:10:32.860
 to one

00:10:32.860 --> 00:10:33.279
 another

00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:34.100
 Romans

00:10:34.100 --> 00:10:35.299
 talks about

00:10:35.299 --> 00:10:35.639
 it being

00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:36.360
 subject to

00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:36.799
 those whom

00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:37.259
 God has

00:10:37.259 --> 00:10:37.740
 given us

00:10:37.740 --> 00:10:38.399
 in society

00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:38.899
 to rule

00:10:38.899 --> 00:10:39.500
 over us

00:10:39.500 --> 00:10:40.560
 that is

00:10:40.560 --> 00:10:41.100
 good for

00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:41.659
 society

00:10:41.659 --> 00:10:42.480
 Paul teaches

00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:43.259
 in our

00:10:43.259 --> 00:10:43.639
 church

00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:44.000
 family

00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:44.379
 we are

00:10:44.379 --> 00:10:44.779
 subject

00:10:44.779 --> 00:10:45.220
 to our

00:10:45.220 --> 00:10:45.680
 leaders

00:10:45.680 --> 00:10:46.580
 because

00:10:46.580 --> 00:10:47.340
 God has

00:10:47.340 --> 00:10:47.820
 given them

00:10:47.820 --> 00:10:48.360
 to us

00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:49.259
 to care

00:10:49.259 --> 00:10:49.740
 for us

00:10:49.740 --> 00:10:50.379
 and protect

00:10:50.379 --> 00:10:50.800
 us

00:10:50.800 --> 00:10:51.639
 in the

00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:52.159
 family of

00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:52.680
 the gospel

00:10:52.680 --> 00:10:53.519
 and so on

00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:54.159
 and so on

00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:55.360
 now that

00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:56.120
 kind of

00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:56.759
 language is

00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:57.340
 an abomination

00:10:57.340 --> 00:10:57.980
 to the

00:10:57.980 --> 00:10:58.379
 sinful

00:10:58.379 --> 00:10:59.420
 unbroken

00:10:59.420 --> 00:11:00.379
 human heart

00:11:00.379 --> 00:11:01.040
 but to

00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:01.519
 Christian

00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:01.960
 people

00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:02.680
 that is

00:11:02.680 --> 00:11:03.100
 just a

00:11:03.100 --> 00:11:03.659
 reflection

00:11:03.659 --> 00:11:04.740
 of how

00:11:04.740 --> 00:11:05.220
 the Lord

00:11:05.220 --> 00:11:05.560
 Jesus

00:11:05.560 --> 00:11:06.379
 submits

00:11:06.379 --> 00:11:07.080
 to the

00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:07.360
 will

00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:07.899
 of his

00:11:07.899 --> 00:11:08.340
 father

00:11:08.340 --> 00:11:10.940
 for us

00:11:10.940 --> 00:11:11.399
 it is

00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:11.600
 the

00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:12.220
 norm

00:11:12.220 --> 00:11:13.540
 it is

00:11:13.540 --> 00:11:13.759
 not

00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:14.320
 lacking

00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:14.620
 in

00:11:14.620 --> 00:11:15.139
 dignity

00:11:15.139 --> 00:11:17.320
 but it

00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:17.980
 is hard

00:11:17.980 --> 00:11:18.800
 and painful

00:11:18.800 --> 00:11:19.620
 in a

00:11:19.620 --> 00:11:19.899
 fallen

00:11:19.899 --> 00:11:20.500
 world

00:11:20.500 --> 00:11:21.940
 so it

00:11:21.940 --> 00:11:22.680
 is very

00:11:22.680 --> 00:11:23.180
 often

00:11:23.180 --> 00:11:24.019
 right

00:11:24.019 --> 00:11:24.860
 and possible

00:11:24.860 --> 00:11:25.580
 for us

00:11:25.580 --> 00:11:26.639
 to submit

00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:27.139
 to one

00:11:27.139 --> 00:11:27.500
 another

00:11:27.500 --> 00:11:28.340
 in church

00:11:28.340 --> 00:11:29.019
 in family

00:11:29.019 --> 00:11:29.899
 in society

00:11:29.899 --> 00:11:30.780
 and even

00:11:30.780 --> 00:11:31.680
 in persecution

00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:33.819
 for the

00:11:33.819 --> 00:11:34.279
 sake of

00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:34.799
 Christ

00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:38.859
 and being

00:11:38.859 --> 00:11:39.620
 subject

00:11:39.620 --> 00:11:41.259
 is not

00:11:41.259 --> 00:11:41.699
 the same

00:11:41.699 --> 00:11:42.059
 as being

00:11:42.059 --> 00:11:42.919
 silent

00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:43.639
 ever

00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:45.239
 being

00:11:45.239 --> 00:11:45.919
 silent

00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:47.739
 may mean

00:11:47.739 --> 00:11:48.559
 in this

00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:49.120
 case

00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:49.719
 where we

00:11:49.719 --> 00:11:50.079
 are being

00:11:50.079 --> 00:11:50.599
 persecuted

00:11:50.599 --> 00:11:51.259
 that we

00:11:51.259 --> 00:11:52.319
 are no

00:11:52.319 --> 00:11:52.679
 longer

00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:53.319
 willing

00:11:53.319 --> 00:11:54.059
 to

00:11:54.059 --> 00:11:54.759
 profess

00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:55.019
 the

00:11:55.019 --> 00:11:55.239
 Lord

00:11:55.239 --> 00:11:55.579
 Jesus

00:11:55.579 --> 00:11:56.159
 Christ

00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:56.919
 Peter

00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:57.279
 doesn't

00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:57.639
 call us

00:11:57.639 --> 00:11:57.899
 to be

00:11:57.899 --> 00:11:58.500
 silent

00:11:58.500 --> 00:11:59.899
 but he

00:11:59.899 --> 00:12:00.479
 calls

00:12:00.479 --> 00:12:01.079
 Christians

00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.340
 to be

00:12:03.340 --> 00:12:04.860
 subject

00:12:04.860 --> 00:12:05.800
 to

00:12:05.800 --> 00:12:06.860
 something

00:12:06.860 --> 00:12:08.720
 that's the

00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:09.360
 second thing

00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:10.620
 here's the

00:12:10.620 --> 00:12:10.960
 third

00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:12.600
 and now

00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:12.980
 more

00:12:12.980 --> 00:12:13.700
 into the

00:12:13.700 --> 00:12:14.620
 text itself

00:12:14.620 --> 00:12:15.040
 for

00:12:15.040 --> 00:12:15.759
 three

00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:16.060
 through

00:12:16.060 --> 00:12:16.560
 seven

00:12:16.560 --> 00:12:17.540
 suffering

00:12:17.540 --> 00:12:18.259
 like this

00:12:18.259 --> 00:12:18.980
 persecution

00:12:18.980 --> 00:12:20.680
 for following

00:12:20.680 --> 00:12:21.080
 Jesus

00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:21.900
 is

00:12:21.900 --> 00:12:22.900
 normal

00:12:22.900 --> 00:12:23.900
 Christian

00:12:23.900 --> 00:12:24.879
 experience

00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:25.720
 if you

00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:26.080
 take

00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:26.680
 the

00:12:26.680 --> 00:12:27.280
 global

00:12:27.280 --> 00:12:27.980
 church

00:12:27.980 --> 00:12:29.460
 and

00:12:29.460 --> 00:12:29.879
 if you

00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:30.200
 take

00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:30.440
 the

00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:30.920
 span

00:12:30.920 --> 00:12:31.280
 of the

00:12:31.280 --> 00:12:31.800
 history

00:12:31.800 --> 00:12:32.200
 of the

00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:32.620
 church

00:12:32.620 --> 00:12:33.840
 suffering

00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:34.460
 for

00:12:34.460 --> 00:12:35.020
 following

00:12:35.020 --> 00:12:35.460
 Jesus

00:12:35.460 --> 00:12:36.220
 is

00:12:36.220 --> 00:12:36.780
 entirely

00:12:36.780 --> 00:12:37.260
 normal

00:12:37.260 --> 00:12:37.740
 and that's

00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:38.120
 what Peter

00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:38.560
 says

00:12:38.560 --> 00:12:39.000
 isn't it

00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:39.420
 in verse

00:12:39.420 --> 00:12:39.900
 12

00:12:39.900 --> 00:12:40.920
 we should

00:12:40.920 --> 00:12:41.580
 not be

00:12:41.580 --> 00:12:42.360
 surprised

00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:43.260
 at the

00:12:43.260 --> 00:12:43.660
 painful

00:12:43.660 --> 00:12:44.240
 trial

00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:45.000
 you are

00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:45.460
 suffering

00:12:45.460 --> 00:12:46.280
 we should

00:12:46.280 --> 00:12:46.920
 actually

00:12:46.920 --> 00:12:47.700
 expect

00:12:47.700 --> 00:12:47.980
 it

00:12:47.980 --> 00:12:48.900
 we should

00:12:48.900 --> 00:12:50.020
 be

00:12:50.020 --> 00:12:50.740
 prepared

00:12:50.740 --> 00:12:51.960
 for this

00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:52.800
 to happen

00:12:52.800 --> 00:12:54.240
 and indeed

00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:55.120
 experience

00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:55.960
 teaches us

00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:56.460
 because we

00:12:56.460 --> 00:12:56.960
 have 2000

00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:57.740
 years of

00:12:57.740 --> 00:12:58.080
 history

00:12:58.080 --> 00:12:58.680
 since Peter

00:12:58.680 --> 00:12:59.160
 wrote this

00:12:59.160 --> 00:12:59.560
 letter

00:12:59.560 --> 00:13:00.440
 experience

00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:01.259
 teaches us

00:13:01.259 --> 00:13:02.680
 that what

00:13:02.680 --> 00:13:03.360
 Peter wrote

00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:03.960
 is indeed

00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:04.480
 the case

00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:05.220
 it just

00:13:05.220 --> 00:13:05.840
 is not

00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:06.560
 surprising

00:13:06.560 --> 00:13:08.480
 don't think

00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:09.160
 that something

00:13:09.160 --> 00:13:10.160
 strange is

00:13:10.160 --> 00:13:10.759
 happening to

00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:11.139
 you he

00:13:11.139 --> 00:13:11.500
 says

00:13:11.500 --> 00:13:13.040
 get used

00:13:13.040 --> 00:13:13.360
 to the

00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:13.740
 fact

00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:14.639
 that this

00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:15.100
 is

00:13:15.100 --> 00:13:16.259
 normal

00:13:16.259 --> 00:13:17.879
 Christian

00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:18.920
 experience

00:13:18.920 --> 00:13:20.240
 and you

00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:20.580
 folks

00:13:20.580 --> 00:13:22.020
 like many

00:13:22.020 --> 00:13:22.420
 of us

00:13:22.420 --> 00:13:22.759
 in our

00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:23.360
 evangelical

00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:23.980
 churches

00:13:23.980 --> 00:13:24.740
 will pray

00:13:24.740 --> 00:13:25.879
 for and

00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:26.419
 follow

00:13:26.419 --> 00:13:27.899
 the instances

00:13:27.899 --> 00:13:28.659
 of Christians

00:13:28.659 --> 00:13:29.320
 who are

00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:30.220
 overtly

00:13:30.220 --> 00:13:30.980
 persecuted

00:13:30.980 --> 00:13:32.240
 for their

00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:32.740
 faith in

00:13:32.740 --> 00:13:33.200
 Christ

00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:34.980
 you will

00:13:34.980 --> 00:13:35.919
 probably read

00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:36.620
 the magazines

00:13:36.620 --> 00:13:37.019
 and the

00:13:37.019 --> 00:13:37.779
 prayer leaflets

00:13:37.779 --> 00:13:38.560
 of the

00:13:38.560 --> 00:13:39.220
 likes of

00:13:39.220 --> 00:13:39.960
 the Barnabas

00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:40.740
 Trust

00:13:40.740 --> 00:13:41.200
 to name

00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:41.840
 but one

00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:42.820
 organization

00:13:42.820 --> 00:13:43.440
 that is

00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:44.180
 there to

00:13:44.180 --> 00:13:45.940
 encourage

00:13:45.940 --> 00:13:46.700
 awareness

00:13:46.700 --> 00:13:47.659
 and promote

00:13:47.659 --> 00:13:48.639
 support for

00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:49.200
 those who are

00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:49.740
 suffering

00:13:49.740 --> 00:13:50.919
 for following

00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:51.480
 Christ

00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:53.259
 and the

00:13:53.259 --> 00:13:54.960
 range

00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:55.879
 of

00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:57.300
 ministries

00:13:57.300 --> 00:13:58.300
 and churches

00:13:58.300 --> 00:13:59.159
 that exist

00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:00.420
 who pray

00:14:00.420 --> 00:14:01.560
 for persecuted

00:14:01.560 --> 00:14:02.139
 believers

00:14:02.139 --> 00:14:03.399
 should simply

00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:04.080
 teach us

00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:05.320
 that this

00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:05.720
 is what

00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:06.200
 happens

00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:07.019
 when the

00:14:07.019 --> 00:14:07.779
 gospel takes

00:14:07.779 --> 00:14:08.820
 root in a

00:14:08.820 --> 00:14:09.840
 culture and

00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:10.460
 in a nation

00:14:10.460 --> 00:14:11.379
 and is

00:14:11.379 --> 00:14:12.460
 proclaimed to

00:14:12.460 --> 00:14:12.940
 those who

00:14:12.940 --> 00:14:13.340
 don't know

00:14:13.340 --> 00:14:13.700
 the Lord

00:14:13.700 --> 00:14:14.080
 Jesus

00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:15.220
 persecution

00:14:15.220 --> 00:14:15.899
 is what

00:14:15.899 --> 00:14:16.320
 happens

00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:17.200
 it's normal

00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:18.120
 and we

00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:18.720
 know that

00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:20.180
 but still

00:14:20.180 --> 00:14:21.019
 in some

00:14:21.019 --> 00:14:21.439
 way when

00:14:21.439 --> 00:14:21.860
 we read

00:14:21.860 --> 00:14:22.360
 a passage

00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:23.120
 like this

00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:23.699
 we feel

00:14:23.699 --> 00:14:24.699
 slightly

00:14:24.699 --> 00:14:25.259
 distant

00:14:25.259 --> 00:14:25.939
 from it

00:14:25.939 --> 00:14:27.740
 and were

00:14:27.740 --> 00:14:28.120
 the day

00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:28.519
 to come

00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:29.059
 when you

00:14:29.059 --> 00:14:29.480
 were

00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:30.419
 persecuted

00:14:30.419 --> 00:14:31.279
 in some

00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:31.899
 way for

00:14:31.899 --> 00:14:32.340
 following

00:14:32.340 --> 00:14:32.980
 Christ

00:14:32.980 --> 00:14:34.039
 then

00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:36.279
 Peter says

00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:36.879
 just have

00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:37.299
 this in

00:14:37.299 --> 00:14:37.500
 your

00:14:37.500 --> 00:14:38.120
 foundational

00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:38.799
 thinking

00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:39.699
 don't be

00:14:39.699 --> 00:14:40.379
 surprised

00:14:40.379 --> 00:14:41.759
 it's not

00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:42.799
 something

00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:43.480
 strange

00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:43.819
 that's

00:14:43.819 --> 00:14:44.220
 happening

00:14:44.220 --> 00:14:45.579
 now I

00:14:45.579 --> 00:14:46.019
 would say

00:14:46.019 --> 00:14:46.439
 that we're

00:14:46.439 --> 00:14:46.879
 all well

00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:47.519
 aware

00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:49.000
 that the

00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:49.939
 days of

00:14:49.940 --> 00:14:51.560
 any notion

00:14:51.560 --> 00:14:52.240
 of Christian

00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:52.760
 privilege

00:14:52.760 --> 00:14:53.360
 in our

00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:54.400
 society

00:14:54.400 --> 00:14:55.040
 and culture

00:14:55.040 --> 00:14:55.840
 are well

00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:56.360
 passed

00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:57.100
 and indeed

00:14:57.100 --> 00:14:57.840
 we're probably

00:14:57.840 --> 00:14:59.120
 increasingly

00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:00.880
 living in

00:15:00.880 --> 00:15:02.200
 the context

00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:04.000
 of low

00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:04.540
 grade

00:15:04.540 --> 00:15:05.500
 Christian

00:15:05.500 --> 00:15:06.320
 persecution

00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:07.500
 by some

00:15:07.500 --> 00:15:10.020
 that I

00:15:10.020 --> 00:15:10.760
 don't think

00:15:10.760 --> 00:15:11.160
 would come

00:15:11.160 --> 00:15:12.100
 as a great

00:15:12.100 --> 00:15:12.720
 shock to

00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:13.000
 us

00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:13.960
 we see

00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:14.780
 the battles

00:15:14.780 --> 00:15:15.680
 that go

00:15:15.680 --> 00:15:16.120
 around

00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:16.780
 particularly

00:15:16.780 --> 00:15:17.260
 in the

00:15:17.260 --> 00:15:17.760
 university

00:15:17.760 --> 00:15:18.200
 world

00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:18.580
 around

00:15:18.580 --> 00:15:18.920
 the

00:15:18.920 --> 00:15:19.600
 issues

00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:19.840
 of

00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:20.160
 free

00:15:20.160 --> 00:15:20.700
 speech

00:15:20.700 --> 00:15:21.060
 and who

00:15:21.060 --> 00:15:21.520
 is allowed

00:15:21.520 --> 00:15:22.000
 to say

00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:22.379
 what

00:15:22.379 --> 00:15:22.740
 and who

00:15:22.740 --> 00:15:23.180
 is allowed

00:15:23.180 --> 00:15:23.600
 to say

00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:23.940
 things

00:15:23.940 --> 00:15:24.360
 that might

00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:24.820
 upset

00:15:24.820 --> 00:15:25.180
 someone

00:15:25.180 --> 00:15:25.600
 else

00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:27.379
 and the

00:15:27.379 --> 00:15:27.980
 responses

00:15:27.980 --> 00:15:28.700
 to that

00:15:28.700 --> 00:15:29.879
 one of our

00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:30.420
 small

00:15:30.420 --> 00:15:30.920
 Christian

00:15:30.920 --> 00:15:31.259
 union

00:15:31.259 --> 00:15:31.620
 groups

00:15:31.620 --> 00:15:31.900
 here's

00:15:31.900 --> 00:15:32.320
 just one

00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:32.879
 example

00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:34.080
 put on

00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:35.340
 or wanted

00:15:35.340 --> 00:15:35.820
 to put

00:15:35.820 --> 00:15:36.300
 on a

00:15:36.300 --> 00:15:36.820
 lunchtime

00:15:36.820 --> 00:15:37.379
 discussion

00:15:37.379 --> 00:15:37.780
 around

00:15:37.780 --> 00:15:38.440
 the theme

00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:39.840
 where was

00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:40.320
 God

00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:40.720
 when the

00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:41.100
 terrorist

00:15:41.100 --> 00:15:41.420
 bomb

00:15:41.420 --> 00:15:41.740
 went

00:15:41.740 --> 00:15:42.100
 off

00:15:42.100 --> 00:15:43.660
 and the

00:15:43.660 --> 00:15:44.100
 university

00:15:44.100 --> 00:15:44.660
 said no

00:15:44.660 --> 00:15:45.040
 somebody

00:15:45.040 --> 00:15:45.440
 could be

00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:45.800
 offended

00:15:45.800 --> 00:15:46.360
 by that

00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:46.900
 discussion

00:15:46.899 --> 00:15:48.240
 and it

00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:48.600
 was shut

00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:49.000
 down

00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:50.620
 now

00:15:50.620 --> 00:15:52.220
 the

00:15:52.220 --> 00:15:54.279
 the kind

00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:54.600
 of

00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:56.199
 notion

00:15:56.199 --> 00:15:56.679
 that

00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:57.939
 some

00:15:57.939 --> 00:15:58.439
 others

00:15:58.439 --> 00:15:58.939
 might be

00:15:58.939 --> 00:15:59.779
 really helped

00:15:59.779 --> 00:16:00.459
 to come

00:16:00.459 --> 00:16:00.879
 and talk

00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:01.559
 about that

00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:02.379
 doesn't

00:16:02.379 --> 00:16:03.019
 count

00:16:03.019 --> 00:16:03.959
 for anything

00:16:03.959 --> 00:16:05.059
 the notion

00:16:05.059 --> 00:16:05.399
 that we

00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:05.840
 live in a

00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:06.360
 society

00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:07.120
 where nobody

00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:07.759
 has to

00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:08.159
 come into

00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:08.879
 that discussion

00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:09.319
 they're just

00:16:09.319 --> 00:16:10.059
 invited to

00:16:10.059 --> 00:16:10.379
 if they

00:16:10.379 --> 00:16:10.639
 want

00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:11.439
 that doesn't

00:16:11.439 --> 00:16:11.860
 count for

00:16:11.860 --> 00:16:12.179
 anything

00:16:12.179 --> 00:16:12.519
 no

00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:13.039
 that's

00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:13.220
 not

00:16:13.220 --> 00:16:13.600
 happening

00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:15.860
 interesting

00:16:15.860 --> 00:16:18.139
 and yet

00:16:18.139 --> 00:16:18.639
 in other

00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:19.460
 universities

00:16:19.460 --> 00:16:21.220
 some of our

00:16:21.220 --> 00:16:21.980
 Christian unions

00:16:21.980 --> 00:16:23.180
 are being

00:16:23.180 --> 00:16:23.659
 given

00:16:23.659 --> 00:16:25.000
 awards

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:25.720
 by the

00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:26.399

00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:26.800
 body

00:16:26.800 --> 00:16:27.580
 for being

00:16:27.580 --> 00:16:28.460
 a really

00:16:28.460 --> 00:16:28.980
 welcoming

00:16:28.980 --> 00:16:29.539
 and open

00:16:29.539 --> 00:16:30.120
 and genuine

00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:30.800
 and upfront

00:16:30.800 --> 00:16:31.779
 and transparent

00:16:31.779 --> 00:16:32.620
 organization

00:16:32.620 --> 00:16:33.379
 and part of

00:16:33.379 --> 00:16:33.740
 me thinks

00:16:33.740 --> 00:16:34.279
 could the

00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:34.700
 people in

00:16:34.700 --> 00:16:34.879
 this

00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:35.440
 students union

00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:35.980
 not speak

00:16:35.980 --> 00:16:36.360
 to the

00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:37.259
 people over

00:16:37.259 --> 00:16:37.560
 here

00:16:37.560 --> 00:16:38.259
 but there

00:16:38.259 --> 00:16:38.620
 is the

00:16:38.620 --> 00:16:39.000
 beginnings

00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:39.419
 in the

00:16:39.419 --> 00:16:39.960
 university

00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:40.379
 world

00:16:40.379 --> 00:16:40.800
 of this

00:16:40.800 --> 00:16:41.279
 kind of

00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:41.899
 persecution

00:16:41.899 --> 00:16:42.940
 this kind

00:16:42.940 --> 00:16:43.320
 of

00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:45.100
 closing you

00:16:45.100 --> 00:16:45.440

00:16:46.260 --> 00:16:48.160
 there will

00:16:48.160 --> 00:16:48.640
 be many

00:16:48.640 --> 00:16:49.120
 cases

00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:49.700
 and here

00:16:49.700 --> 00:16:50.120
 you can

00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:50.560
 follow

00:16:54.260 --> 00:16:54.580
 by

00:16:54.580 --> 00:16:55.300
 CAIR

00:16:55.300 --> 00:16:56.080
 or the

 Christian

00:16:56.460 --> 00:16:56.940
 Institute

00:16:56.940 --> 00:16:57.660
 and others

00:16:57.660 --> 00:16:58.440
 of people

00:16:58.440 --> 00:16:58.820
 being

00:16:58.820 --> 00:16:59.420
 passed

00:16:59.420 --> 00:16:59.900
 over

00:16:59.900 --> 00:17:00.540
 for

00:17:00.540 --> 00:17:01.900
 promotion

00:17:01.900 --> 00:17:02.600
 because

00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:02.900
 they're

00:17:02.900 --> 00:17:03.040
 a

00:17:03.040 --> 00:17:03.400

 or people

00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:05.080
 indeed

00:17:05.080 --> 00:17:05.519
 being

00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:07.180
 put out

00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:07.700
 of work

00:17:07.700 --> 00:17:08.259
 because

00:17:08.259 --> 00:17:09.160
 of

00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:09.620
 Christian

00:17:09.620 --> 00:17:10.180
 beliefs

00:17:10.180 --> 00:17:11.180
 so there

00:17:11.180 --> 00:17:11.620
 are lots

00:17:11.620 --> 00:17:12.279
 of examples

00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:12.559
 there

00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:13.000
 and my

00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:13.900
 guess is

00:17:13.900 --> 00:17:15.040
 that as

00:17:15.040 --> 00:17:15.660
 we see

00:17:15.660 --> 00:17:16.500
 society

00:17:16.500 --> 00:17:16.900
 being

00:17:16.900 --> 00:17:17.640
 increasingly

00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:19.000
 cowed

00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:19.960
 and swayed

00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:20.700
 into only

00:17:20.700 --> 00:17:21.320
 being able

00:17:21.320 --> 00:17:22.280
 to say

00:17:22.280 --> 00:17:23.280
 and articulate

00:17:23.280 --> 00:17:24.540
 and think

00:17:24.540 --> 00:17:25.120
 what is

00:17:25.120 --> 00:17:26.120
 the approved

00:17:26.120 --> 00:17:29.300
 social norm

00:17:29.300 --> 00:17:30.060
 of the day

00:17:30.060 --> 00:17:31.740
 only if you

00:17:31.740 --> 00:17:32.620
 fit in

00:17:32.620 --> 00:17:34.180
 with the

00:17:34.180 --> 00:17:34.880
 cultural

00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:35.980
 beliefs

00:17:35.980 --> 00:17:36.580
 of the day

00:17:36.580 --> 00:17:37.140
 with the

00:17:37.140 --> 00:17:37.940
 up-to-date

00:17:37.940 --> 00:17:38.800
 doctrine

00:17:38.800 --> 00:17:40.259
 of our

00:17:40.259 --> 00:17:40.740
 culture

00:17:40.740 --> 00:17:42.280
 will you be

00:17:42.280 --> 00:17:42.759
 accepted

00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:43.339
 that I

00:17:43.339 --> 00:17:43.720
 think

00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:43.920
 is

00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:44.240
 gaining

00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:44.779
 ground

00:17:44.779 --> 00:17:45.539
 where

00:17:45.539 --> 00:17:45.839
 will it

00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:46.039
 end

00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:46.220
 who

00:17:46.220 --> 00:17:46.420
 in the

00:17:46.420 --> 00:17:46.640
 world

00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:47.079
 knows

00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:47.460
 the

00:17:47.460 --> 00:17:47.680
 Lord

00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:48.079
 knows

00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:49.960
 so it

00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:50.099
 is

00:17:50.099 --> 00:17:50.559
 normal

00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:51.339
 Christianity

00:17:51.339 --> 00:17:53.559
 but look

00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:54.359
 on beyond

00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:55.160
 verse 12

00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:55.879
 and here

00:17:55.879 --> 00:17:56.779
 fourthly

00:17:56.779 --> 00:17:57.720
 suffering

00:17:57.720 --> 00:17:58.640
 like this

00:17:58.640 --> 00:17:59.259
 for following

00:17:59.259 --> 00:17:59.720
 the Lord

00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:00.099
 Jesus

00:18:00.099 --> 00:18:01.519
 is actually

00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:02.619
 part

00:18:02.619 --> 00:18:03.460
 and parcel

00:18:03.460 --> 00:18:05.539
 and here

00:18:05.539 --> 00:18:06.140
 is something

00:18:06.140 --> 00:18:06.859
 even more

00:18:06.859 --> 00:18:07.460
 profound

00:18:07.460 --> 00:18:08.059
 of our

00:18:08.059 --> 00:18:08.779
 core

00:18:08.779 --> 00:18:09.839
 identity

00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:11.220
 in

00:18:11.220 --> 00:18:11.799
 Christ

00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:12.240
 look at

00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:12.519
 verses

00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:13.119
 13

00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:13.879
 and 14

00:18:13.879 --> 00:18:16.079
 so

00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:17.099
 don't be

00:18:17.099 --> 00:18:17.759
 surprised

00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:19.759
 but instead

00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:20.740
 rejoice

00:18:20.740 --> 00:18:21.579
 that you

00:18:21.579 --> 00:18:22.599
 participate

00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:23.959
 in the

00:18:23.959 --> 00:18:24.539
 sufferings

00:18:24.539 --> 00:18:25.199
 of Christ

00:18:25.199 --> 00:18:27.119
 so that

00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:27.599
 you may

00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:29.119
 be overjoyed

00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:29.500
 when his

00:18:29.500 --> 00:18:30.099
 glory is

00:18:30.099 --> 00:18:30.619
 revealed

00:18:30.619 --> 00:18:32.000
 if you

00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:32.799
 are insulted

00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:33.439
 because of

00:18:33.439 --> 00:18:33.759
 the name

00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:34.439
 of Christ

00:18:34.439 --> 00:18:35.639
 you are

00:18:35.639 --> 00:18:36.179
 blessed

00:18:36.180 --> 00:18:37.940
 for the

00:18:37.940 --> 00:18:38.400
 spirit

00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:39.279
 of glory

00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:40.019
 and of

00:18:40.019 --> 00:18:40.680
 God

00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:42.080
 rests

00:18:42.080 --> 00:18:42.820
 on

00:18:42.820 --> 00:18:43.960
 you

00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:46.799
 that is a

00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:47.460
 remarkable

00:18:47.460 --> 00:18:48.299
 sentence

00:18:48.299 --> 00:18:49.080
 isn't it

00:18:49.080 --> 00:18:51.259
 something

00:18:51.259 --> 00:18:52.600
 profound

00:18:52.600 --> 00:18:53.320
 is happening

00:18:53.320 --> 00:18:54.480
 when

00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:56.259
 you are

00:18:56.259 --> 00:18:57.039
 targeted

00:18:57.039 --> 00:18:58.840
 or singled

00:18:58.840 --> 00:18:59.220
 out

00:18:59.220 --> 00:19:00.420
 for following

00:19:00.420 --> 00:19:00.860
 the Lord

00:19:00.860 --> 00:19:01.279
 Jesus

00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:02.960
 at that

00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:03.299
 moment

00:19:03.299 --> 00:19:04.240
 you are

00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:05.279
 participating

00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:05.960
 in

00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:06.720
 you are

00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:07.379
 united

00:19:07.379 --> 00:19:08.259
 to the

00:19:08.259 --> 00:19:08.500
 Lord

00:19:08.500 --> 00:19:08.960
 Jesus

00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:10.119
 and his

00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:11.000
 sufferings

00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:12.920
 and the

00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:13.279
 spirit

00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:13.940
 of God

00:19:13.940 --> 00:19:15.079
 Peter

00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:15.700
 says

00:19:15.700 --> 00:19:16.879
 rests

00:19:16.879 --> 00:19:17.940
 on you

00:19:17.940 --> 00:19:18.720
 at that

00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:19.180
 moment

00:19:19.180 --> 00:19:21.160
 now that

00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:21.519
 is very

00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:22.059
 spiritual

00:19:22.059 --> 00:19:22.539
 and very

00:19:22.539 --> 00:19:23.019
 profound

00:19:23.019 --> 00:19:24.200
 but I

00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:24.700
 think

00:19:24.700 --> 00:19:25.819
 we could

00:19:25.819 --> 00:19:26.220
 do a

00:19:26.220 --> 00:19:26.579
 very

00:19:26.579 --> 00:19:27.500
 very good

00:19:27.500 --> 00:19:28.200
 job by

00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:28.660
 equipping

00:19:28.660 --> 00:19:28.920
 our

00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:29.339
 children

00:19:29.339 --> 00:19:29.920
 and young

00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:30.279
 people

00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:31.079
 to understand

00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:31.480
 that

00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:32.180
 when they're

00:19:32.180 --> 00:19:32.660
 at school

00:19:32.660 --> 00:19:34.720
 I think

00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:35.640
 we forget

00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:36.660
 unless we

00:19:36.660 --> 00:19:37.420
 are parents

00:19:37.420 --> 00:19:38.180
 of young

00:19:38.180 --> 00:19:38.720
 children

00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:39.960
 we forget

00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:41.360
 just how

00:19:41.360 --> 00:19:42.200
 cruel

00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:43.880
 the playground

00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:44.440
 or the

00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:44.900
 classroom

00:19:44.900 --> 00:19:45.860
 can be

00:19:45.860 --> 00:19:47.320
 by way of

00:19:47.320 --> 00:19:48.240
 an environment

00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:49.500
 that is very

00:19:49.500 --> 00:19:50.660
 quick to slap

00:19:50.660 --> 00:19:51.380
 someone down

00:19:51.380 --> 00:19:52.240
 who sticks out

00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:52.779
 for whatever

00:19:52.779 --> 00:19:53.259
 reason

00:19:53.259 --> 00:19:57.640
 and we

00:19:57.640 --> 00:19:58.220
 forget

00:19:58.220 --> 00:19:58.859
 because

00:19:58.859 --> 00:20:00.259
 it's

00:20:00.259 --> 00:20:00.759
 unpleasant

00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:01.400
 and it's

00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:01.879
 hard

00:20:01.879 --> 00:20:02.259
 and we

00:20:02.259 --> 00:20:02.720
 move on

00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:03.220
 in life

00:20:03.220 --> 00:20:03.519
 but

00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:04.500
 probably

00:20:04.500 --> 00:20:05.099
 for most

00:20:05.099 --> 00:20:05.500
 of us

00:20:05.500 --> 00:20:05.900
 if we

00:20:05.900 --> 00:20:06.680
 paused

00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:07.519
 and took

00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:08.059
 time

00:20:08.059 --> 00:20:08.759
 to remember

00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:09.859
 the most

00:20:09.859 --> 00:20:10.339
 difficult

00:20:10.339 --> 00:20:11.000
 things

00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:11.480
 if you

00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:11.640
 were

00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:12.119
 following

00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:12.619
 Christ

00:20:12.619 --> 00:20:13.420
 as a

00:20:13.420 --> 00:20:13.680
 school

00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:14.140
 people

00:20:14.140 --> 00:20:15.180
 the most

00:20:15.180 --> 00:20:15.619
 difficult

00:20:15.619 --> 00:20:16.099
 things

00:20:16.099 --> 00:20:16.779
 that occurred

00:20:16.779 --> 00:20:17.940
 because of

00:20:17.940 --> 00:20:18.319
 that

00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:19.579
 no wonder

00:20:19.579 --> 00:20:20.339
 we forget

00:20:20.339 --> 00:20:23.059
 but for

00:20:23.059 --> 00:20:23.639
 all of us

00:20:23.639 --> 00:20:23.959
 who have

00:20:23.959 --> 00:20:24.659
 kids at

00:20:24.659 --> 00:20:24.959
 school

00:20:24.959 --> 00:20:25.480
 today

00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:27.179
 the atmosphere

00:20:27.179 --> 00:20:27.699
 is no

00:20:27.699 --> 00:20:28.119
 different

00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:29.079
 in fact

00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:29.679
 it's probably

00:20:29.679 --> 00:20:30.240
 harder

00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:31.539
 how do you

00:20:31.539 --> 00:20:32.099
 equip a

00:20:32.099 --> 00:20:32.799
 six year old

00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:33.639
 a ten year old

00:20:33.639 --> 00:20:34.759
 a thirteen year old

00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:35.699
 to be willing

00:20:35.699 --> 00:20:36.359
 to say

00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:37.879
 yeah I follow

00:20:37.879 --> 00:20:38.399
 Christ

00:20:38.399 --> 00:20:40.019
 I believe

00:20:40.019 --> 00:20:40.740
 what the Bible

00:20:40.740 --> 00:20:41.199
 teaches

00:20:41.199 --> 00:20:42.980
 I have a

00:20:42.980 --> 00:20:43.779
 church family

00:20:43.779 --> 00:20:44.919
 that I belong

00:20:44.919 --> 00:20:45.779
 to on Sundays

00:20:45.779 --> 00:20:46.960
 to say

00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:47.420
 any of

00:20:47.420 --> 00:20:47.920
 those things

00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:48.519
 even

00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:49.500
 something as

00:20:49.500 --> 00:20:49.980
 low grade

00:20:49.980 --> 00:20:50.420
 as I'm

00:20:50.420 --> 00:20:50.720
 going to

00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:50.859
 the

00:20:50.859 --> 00:20:51.119
 scripture

00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:51.500
 union

00:20:51.500 --> 00:20:51.819
 group

00:20:51.819 --> 00:20:52.099
 do you

00:20:52.099 --> 00:20:52.259
 want

00:20:52.259 --> 00:20:52.379
 to

00:20:52.379 --> 00:20:52.539
 come

00:20:52.539 --> 00:20:52.779
 with

00:20:52.779 --> 00:20:53.019
 me

00:20:53.019 --> 00:20:54.319
 those

00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:54.660
 things

00:20:54.660 --> 00:20:54.940
 are

00:20:54.940 --> 00:20:55.339
 really

00:20:55.339 --> 00:20:55.839
 tough

00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:57.480
 and

00:20:57.480 --> 00:20:58.899
 persecution

00:20:58.899 --> 00:20:59.819
 in that

00:20:59.819 --> 00:21:00.500
 context

00:21:00.500 --> 00:21:01.819
 can be

00:21:01.819 --> 00:21:03.000
 fairly

00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:04.200
 undetected

00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:04.899
 below the

00:21:04.899 --> 00:21:05.379
 radar

00:21:05.379 --> 00:21:07.720
 parents and

00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:08.059
 teachers

00:21:08.059 --> 00:21:08.660
 may or may

00:21:08.660 --> 00:21:09.059
 not know

00:21:09.059 --> 00:21:09.759
 about it

00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:12.160
 but to

00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:12.660
 train

00:21:12.660 --> 00:21:13.220
 and

00:21:13.220 --> 00:21:13.940
 encourage

00:21:13.940 --> 00:21:14.379
 our

00:21:14.379 --> 00:21:14.759
 children

00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:15.879
 that if

00:21:15.879 --> 00:21:16.839
 just because

00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:17.379
 they believe

00:21:17.379 --> 00:21:17.879
 in Jesus

00:21:17.879 --> 00:21:19.160
 people are

00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:19.539
 going to

00:21:19.539 --> 00:21:19.940
 say

00:21:19.940 --> 00:21:21.599
 cutting

00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:23.180
 damning

00:21:23.180 --> 00:21:24.599
 offensive

00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:26.059
 critical

00:21:26.059 --> 00:21:26.680
 things to

00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:27.000
 them

00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:28.660
 then

00:21:28.660 --> 00:21:30.039
 God

00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:30.759
 himself

00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:31.059
 their

00:21:31.059 --> 00:21:31.460
 heavenly

00:21:31.460 --> 00:21:31.940
 father

00:21:31.940 --> 00:21:32.379
 says

00:21:32.379 --> 00:21:33.379
 when that

00:21:33.379 --> 00:21:33.900
 happens

00:21:33.900 --> 00:21:34.779
 we are

00:21:34.779 --> 00:21:35.900
 very close

00:21:35.900 --> 00:21:36.779
 to Jesus

00:21:36.779 --> 00:21:38.019
 in his

00:21:38.019 --> 00:21:38.740
 sufferings

00:21:38.740 --> 00:21:39.740
 and his

00:21:39.740 --> 00:21:40.359
 spirit is

00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:40.940
 with us

00:21:40.940 --> 00:21:42.019
 what a

00:21:42.019 --> 00:21:42.440
 wonderful

00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:42.900
 thing

00:21:42.900 --> 00:21:43.379
 to be

00:21:43.379 --> 00:21:43.779
 taught

00:21:43.779 --> 00:21:44.700
 by the

00:21:44.700 --> 00:21:45.119
 scriptures

00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:48.599
 and how

00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:49.160
 much more

00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:49.940
 profound is

00:21:49.940 --> 00:21:50.319
 that than

00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:51.099
 just reckoning

00:21:51.099 --> 00:21:51.619
 it to be

00:21:51.619 --> 00:21:52.279
 normal

00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:53.700
 it is part

00:21:53.700 --> 00:21:54.139
 of our

00:21:54.139 --> 00:21:54.759
 core

00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:55.519
 identity

00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:56.899
 in the

00:21:56.899 --> 00:21:57.579
 Lord Jesus

00:21:57.579 --> 00:21:59.859
 we follow

00:21:59.859 --> 00:22:00.700
 someone and

00:22:00.700 --> 00:22:01.379
 belong to

00:22:01.379 --> 00:22:02.619
 someone who

00:22:02.619 --> 00:22:03.240
 did not

00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:04.799
 stand on

00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:05.740
 his rights

00:22:05.740 --> 00:22:06.660
 to be

00:22:06.660 --> 00:22:07.579
 treated in

00:22:07.579 --> 00:22:08.119
 the way that

00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:08.440
 we would

00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:09.440
 expect him

00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:09.779
 to be

00:22:09.779 --> 00:22:10.200
 treated

00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:11.900
 remember

00:22:11.900 --> 00:22:12.660
 his trial

00:22:12.660 --> 00:22:13.220
 remember

00:22:13.220 --> 00:22:13.539
 his

00:22:13.539 --> 00:22:14.740
 responses

00:22:14.740 --> 00:22:15.519
 yes it

00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:15.920
 is as

00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:16.380
 you say

00:22:16.380 --> 00:22:16.920
 I am

00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:17.100
 the

00:22:17.100 --> 00:22:17.580
 Christ

00:22:17.580 --> 00:22:18.539
 simple

00:22:18.539 --> 00:22:19.759
 straightforward

00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:21.700
 uncomplicated

00:22:21.700 --> 00:22:22.319
 responses

00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:23.279
 in the face

00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:24.400
 of those

00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:25.019
 who eventually

00:22:25.019 --> 00:22:25.620
 put him

00:22:25.620 --> 00:22:26.160
 to death

00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:28.200
 and the

00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:28.799
 Lord Jesus

00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:29.500
 our risen

00:22:29.500 --> 00:22:29.860
 king

00:22:29.860 --> 00:22:30.559
 knows

00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:32.000
 and is

00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:32.640
 with us

00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:33.120
 by his

00:22:33.120 --> 00:22:33.420
 spirit

00:22:33.420 --> 00:22:34.120
 every time

00:22:34.120 --> 00:22:34.740
 something like

00:22:34.740 --> 00:22:35.420
 this happens

00:22:35.420 --> 00:22:37.039
 that's very

00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:37.740
 wonderful I

00:22:37.740 --> 00:22:38.100
 think

00:22:38.100 --> 00:22:40.400
 number five

00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:42.080
 suffering

00:22:42.080 --> 00:22:42.640
 for

00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:43.940
 Christ

00:22:43.940 --> 00:22:44.740
 is not

00:22:44.740 --> 00:22:45.100
 to be

00:22:45.100 --> 00:22:45.700
 confused

00:22:45.700 --> 00:22:46.120
 and here

00:22:46.120 --> 00:22:46.779
 Peter is

00:22:46.779 --> 00:22:48.600
 very wise

00:22:48.600 --> 00:22:49.300
 and

00:22:49.300 --> 00:22:50.880
 shrewd

00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:51.240
 in his

00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:51.640
 teaching

00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:52.200
 is not

00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:52.539
 to be

00:22:52.539 --> 00:22:53.039
 confused

00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:53.740
 with suffering

00:22:53.740 --> 00:22:54.860
 because we've

00:22:54.860 --> 00:22:55.500
 been sinful

00:22:55.500 --> 00:22:56.500
 or stupid

00:22:56.500 --> 00:22:58.420
 look at

00:22:58.420 --> 00:22:58.940
 verse

00:22:58.940 --> 00:22:59.940
 15 and

00:22:59.940 --> 00:23:00.500
 16

00:23:00.500 --> 00:23:01.740
 if you

00:23:01.740 --> 00:23:02.380
 suffer

00:23:02.380 --> 00:23:03.740
 it should

00:23:03.740 --> 00:23:04.600
 not be

00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:05.240
 as a

00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:05.679
 murderer

00:23:05.679 --> 00:23:07.000
 or thief

00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:08.500
 or meddler

00:23:08.500 --> 00:23:10.079
 however

00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:10.619
 if you

00:23:10.619 --> 00:23:11.099
 suffer as

00:23:11.099 --> 00:23:11.639
 a Christian

00:23:11.639 --> 00:23:12.799
 do not

00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:13.539
 be ashamed

00:23:13.539 --> 00:23:14.740
 but praise

00:23:14.740 --> 00:23:15.259
 God that

00:23:15.259 --> 00:23:15.659
 you bear

00:23:15.659 --> 00:23:16.299
 that name

00:23:16.299 --> 00:23:19.639
 I wonder

00:23:19.639 --> 00:23:20.039
 how many

00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:20.399
 of us

00:23:20.399 --> 00:23:20.719
 can

00:23:20.719 --> 00:23:23.019
 relate

00:23:23.019 --> 00:23:23.519
 to this

00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:24.359
 and think

00:23:24.359 --> 00:23:25.179
 of situations

00:23:25.179 --> 00:23:25.899
 where the

00:23:25.899 --> 00:23:27.119
 other Christian

00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:27.559
 in our

00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:28.139
 workplace

00:23:28.139 --> 00:23:29.339
 or the

00:23:29.339 --> 00:23:29.759
 other

00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:31.079
 Christian

00:23:31.079 --> 00:23:32.339
 in a

00:23:32.339 --> 00:23:32.719
 context

00:23:32.719 --> 00:23:33.740
 is actually

00:23:33.740 --> 00:23:34.439
 behaving

00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:34.960
 badly

00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:35.380
 in a way

00:23:35.380 --> 00:23:35.820
 that makes

00:23:35.820 --> 00:23:36.500
 our toes

00:23:36.500 --> 00:23:37.120
 curl up

00:23:37.120 --> 00:23:37.820
 in our

00:23:37.820 --> 00:23:38.340
 shoes

00:23:38.340 --> 00:23:38.779
 and we

00:23:38.779 --> 00:23:39.100
 think

00:23:39.100 --> 00:23:41.200
 for whatever

00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:41.580
 reason

00:23:41.580 --> 00:23:42.259
 that Christian

00:23:42.259 --> 00:23:43.779
 is giving

00:23:43.779 --> 00:23:45.279
 out all

00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:45.860
 the wrong

00:23:45.860 --> 00:23:46.480
 signals

00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:47.279
 about following

00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:47.759
 Jesus

00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:48.700
 we get

00:23:48.700 --> 00:23:49.120
 angry

00:23:49.120 --> 00:23:49.559
 we lose

00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:50.140
 our temper

00:23:50.140 --> 00:23:50.759
 we have

00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:52.539
 a reputation

00:23:52.539 --> 00:23:53.880
 of being

00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:54.420
 the person

00:23:54.420 --> 00:23:55.039
 who is

00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:57.019
 short

00:23:57.019 --> 00:23:58.299
 with others

00:23:58.299 --> 00:23:58.980
 or who is

00:23:58.980 --> 00:23:59.779
 overbearing

00:23:59.779 --> 00:24:00.860
 with people

00:24:00.860 --> 00:24:01.320
 we line

00:24:01.320 --> 00:24:01.640
 manage

00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:02.320
 who is

00:24:02.320 --> 00:24:02.900
 constantly

00:24:02.900 --> 00:24:03.400
 ducking

00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:03.780
 out of

00:24:03.780 --> 00:24:04.040
 work

00:24:04.040 --> 00:24:04.500
 that others

00:24:04.500 --> 00:24:04.860
 have to

00:24:04.860 --> 00:24:05.320
 pick up

00:24:05.320 --> 00:24:05.680
 and so

00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:06.160
 on and so

00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:06.680
 on and so

00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:06.940
 on

00:24:06.940 --> 00:24:08.520
 well then

00:24:08.520 --> 00:24:09.160
 that Christian

00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:09.860
 will suffer

00:24:09.860 --> 00:24:10.920
 because naturally

00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:11.840
 people will turn

00:24:11.840 --> 00:24:12.140
 on them

00:24:12.140 --> 00:24:12.520
 won't they

00:24:12.520 --> 00:24:13.460
 either subtly

00:24:13.460 --> 00:24:14.220
 or overtly

00:24:14.220 --> 00:24:15.100
 but they're not

00:24:15.100 --> 00:24:15.720
 suffering for

00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:16.480
 following Jesus

00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:17.400
 in that case

00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:18.920
 they're suffering

00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:19.560
 because they're

00:24:19.560 --> 00:24:20.120
 being sinful

00:24:20.120 --> 00:24:21.020
 and unwise

00:24:21.020 --> 00:24:22.259
 and Peter

00:24:22.259 --> 00:24:22.940
 says don't be

00:24:22.940 --> 00:24:23.500
 confused

00:24:23.500 --> 00:24:24.820
 between these

00:24:24.820 --> 00:24:25.540
 two things

00:24:25.539 --> 00:24:27.279
 or similarly

00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:27.940
 you may have

00:24:27.940 --> 00:24:28.579
 known people

00:24:28.579 --> 00:24:28.940
 who have

00:24:28.940 --> 00:24:29.259
 suffered

00:24:29.259 --> 00:24:29.779
 terribly

00:24:29.779 --> 00:24:30.259
 in their

00:24:30.259 --> 00:24:30.819
 lives

00:24:30.819 --> 00:24:32.519
 and faced

00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:33.440
 ferocious

00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:34.240
 persecution

00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:36.399
 and as far

00:24:36.399 --> 00:24:36.920
 as they know

00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:37.700
 before the Lord

00:24:37.700 --> 00:24:38.159
 they've done

00:24:38.159 --> 00:24:38.720
 nothing wrong

00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:39.460
 but they're

00:24:39.460 --> 00:24:40.480
 consumed

00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:41.059
 with the

00:24:41.059 --> 00:24:41.460
 question

00:24:41.460 --> 00:24:42.259
 what have I

00:24:42.259 --> 00:24:42.839
 done wrong

00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:43.279
 Lord

00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:44.480
 to have

00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:44.980
 brought this

00:24:44.980 --> 00:24:45.599
 upon me

00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:47.159
 and Peter

00:24:47.159 --> 00:24:47.639
 says no

00:24:47.639 --> 00:24:47.779
 no

00:24:47.779 --> 00:24:48.259
 don't be

00:24:48.259 --> 00:24:48.899
 confused

00:24:48.899 --> 00:24:49.579
 about these

00:24:49.579 --> 00:24:50.039
 things

00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:51.920
 don't

00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:52.480
 get

00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:53.159
 sinfulness

00:24:53.159 --> 00:24:54.099
 and suffering

00:24:54.099 --> 00:24:55.099
 muddled

00:24:55.099 --> 00:24:55.699
 up all the

00:24:55.699 --> 00:24:56.099
 time

00:24:56.099 --> 00:24:57.359
 some

00:24:57.359 --> 00:24:57.959
 suffering

00:24:57.959 --> 00:24:58.539
 is because

00:24:58.539 --> 00:24:58.939
 we are

00:24:58.939 --> 00:24:59.379
 sinful

00:24:59.379 --> 00:25:00.139
 some

00:25:00.139 --> 00:25:00.899
 persecution

00:25:00.899 --> 00:25:01.799
 is just

00:25:01.799 --> 00:25:02.179
 because

00:25:02.179 --> 00:25:02.500
 you are

00:25:02.500 --> 00:25:03.019
 Christian

00:25:03.019 --> 00:25:05.119
 and if

00:25:05.119 --> 00:25:05.519
 it's just

00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:05.980
 because you

00:25:05.980 --> 00:25:06.559
 are Christian

00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:07.139
 the chances

00:25:07.139 --> 00:25:07.759
 may well

00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:08.079
 be that

00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:08.379
 you've done

00:25:08.379 --> 00:25:08.799
 absolutely

00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:09.459
 nothing wrong

00:25:09.459 --> 00:25:09.799
 it's just

00:25:09.799 --> 00:25:10.279
 normal

00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:12.439
 Christian

00:25:12.439 --> 00:25:13.199
 experience

00:25:13.199 --> 00:25:13.639
 do you see

00:25:13.639 --> 00:25:14.039
 what he's

00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:14.559
 saying there

00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:16.579
 how wise

00:25:16.579 --> 00:25:16.959
 of him

00:25:16.959 --> 00:25:17.719
 to put in

00:25:17.719 --> 00:25:18.879
 that caveat

00:25:18.879 --> 00:25:20.099
 don't you

00:25:20.099 --> 00:25:20.719
 descend

00:25:20.719 --> 00:25:21.539
 to the

00:25:21.539 --> 00:25:21.859
 behaviour

00:25:21.859 --> 00:25:22.480
 of everybody

00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:23.139
 else around

00:25:23.139 --> 00:25:23.319
 you

00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:23.759
 if you

00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:24.179
 suffer

00:25:24.180 --> 00:25:24.980
 for goodness

00:25:24.980 --> 00:25:25.380
 sake

00:25:25.380 --> 00:25:25.940
 don't

00:25:25.940 --> 00:25:26.640
 let it

00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:26.799
 be

00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:27.120
 because

00:25:27.120 --> 00:25:27.640
 you've

00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:27.840
 been

00:25:27.840 --> 00:25:28.140
 wicked

00:25:28.140 --> 00:25:28.880
 in some

00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:29.100
 way

00:25:29.100 --> 00:25:29.560
 or another

00:25:29.560 --> 00:25:30.560
 no

00:25:30.560 --> 00:25:31.039
 if you

00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:31.420
 suffer

00:25:31.420 --> 00:25:32.060
 as a

00:25:32.060 --> 00:25:32.500
 Christian

00:25:32.500 --> 00:25:33.680
 hold your

00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:34.060
 head up

00:25:34.060 --> 00:25:34.400
 high

00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:35.200
 do not

00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:35.860
 be ashamed

00:25:35.860 --> 00:25:37.039
 and praise

00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:37.340
 God

00:25:37.340 --> 00:25:37.740
 that you're

00:25:37.740 --> 00:25:38.220
 worthy

00:25:38.220 --> 00:25:39.880
 of owning

00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:40.320
 the name

00:25:40.320 --> 00:25:40.620
 of the

00:25:40.620 --> 00:25:40.820
 Lord

00:25:40.820 --> 00:25:41.180
 Jesus

00:25:41.180 --> 00:25:41.660
 that's a

00:25:41.660 --> 00:25:41.940
 very

00:25:41.940 --> 00:25:45.779
 challenging

00:25:45.779 --> 00:25:46.360
 thing

00:25:46.360 --> 00:25:46.840
 isn't it

00:25:46.840 --> 00:25:47.299
 because

00:25:47.299 --> 00:25:49.659
 the

00:25:49.659 --> 00:25:50.259
 pressure

00:25:50.259 --> 00:25:51.940
 is to

00:25:51.940 --> 00:25:52.639
 just

00:25:52.639 --> 00:25:54.759
 creep

00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:55.279
 back

00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:55.960
 put your

00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:56.220
 head

00:25:56.220 --> 00:25:56.619
 down

00:25:56.619 --> 00:25:57.019
 beneath

00:25:57.019 --> 00:25:57.240
 the

00:25:57.240 --> 00:25:57.839
 parapet

00:25:57.839 --> 00:25:59.559
 step

00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:00.200
 back

00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:00.680
 from

00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:01.279
 proximity

00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:01.659
 to

00:26:01.659 --> 00:26:01.960
 Jesus

00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:02.500
 and then

00:26:02.500 --> 00:26:02.700
 the

00:26:02.700 --> 00:26:03.039
 suffering

00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:03.279
 will

00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:03.460
 go

00:26:03.460 --> 00:26:03.879
 away

00:26:03.879 --> 00:26:05.500
 that's

00:26:05.500 --> 00:26:05.779
 how it

00:26:05.779 --> 00:26:06.059
 was

00:26:06.059 --> 00:26:06.419
 with

00:26:06.419 --> 00:26:07.539
 Peter

00:26:07.539 --> 00:26:08.839
 who wrote

00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:09.119
 this

00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:09.519
 letter

00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:11.259
 right at

00:26:11.259 --> 00:26:11.619
 the very

00:26:11.619 --> 00:26:12.019
 point

00:26:12.019 --> 00:26:12.440
 when the

00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:12.659
 Lord

00:26:12.659 --> 00:26:12.980
 Jesus

00:26:12.980 --> 00:26:13.539
 was being

00:26:13.539 --> 00:26:14.019
 crucified

00:26:14.019 --> 00:26:16.079
 you were

00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:16.500
 with him

00:26:16.500 --> 00:26:16.740
 weren't

00:26:16.740 --> 00:26:16.940
 you

00:26:16.940 --> 00:26:18.279
 from

00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:18.779
 Galilee

00:26:18.779 --> 00:26:20.180
 no

00:26:20.180 --> 00:26:20.319
 no

00:26:20.319 --> 00:26:20.460
 no

00:26:20.460 --> 00:26:20.660
 no

00:26:20.660 --> 00:26:21.180
 I

00:26:21.180 --> 00:26:21.379
 don't

00:26:21.379 --> 00:26:21.539
 know

00:26:21.539 --> 00:26:21.700
 him

00:26:21.700 --> 00:26:21.859
 at

00:26:21.859 --> 00:26:22.819
 all

00:26:22.819 --> 00:26:24.099
 see

00:26:24.099 --> 00:26:25.180
 lessen

00:26:25.180 --> 00:26:25.339
 the

00:26:25.339 --> 00:26:26.059
 association

00:26:26.059 --> 00:26:27.220
 and we

00:26:27.220 --> 00:26:27.700
 can soon

00:26:27.700 --> 00:26:28.859
 stop

00:26:28.859 --> 00:26:29.059
 the

00:26:29.059 --> 00:26:29.539
 suffering

00:26:29.539 --> 00:26:34.099
 why there

00:26:34.099 --> 00:26:34.579
 are many

00:26:34.579 --> 00:26:35.160
 many of

00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:35.299
 our

00:26:35.299 --> 00:26:35.559
 brothers

00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:35.859
 and

00:26:35.859 --> 00:26:36.180
 sisters

00:26:36.180 --> 00:26:36.440
 in

00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:36.779
 glory

00:26:36.779 --> 00:26:37.139
 now

00:26:37.139 --> 00:26:37.400
 aren't

00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:37.559
 there

00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:37.879
 because

00:26:37.879 --> 00:26:38.119
 they

00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:38.259
 were

00:26:38.259 --> 00:26:38.559
 told

00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:38.980
 either

00:26:38.980 --> 00:26:39.660
 renounce

00:26:39.660 --> 00:26:39.900
 your

00:26:39.900 --> 00:26:40.220
 faith

00:26:40.220 --> 00:26:40.359
 in

00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:40.480
 the

00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:40.660
 Lord

00:26:40.660 --> 00:26:41.019
 Jesus

00:26:41.019 --> 00:26:41.799
 or

00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:42.440
 lose

00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:42.619
 your

00:26:42.619 --> 00:26:43.039
 life

00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:46.039
 and at

00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:46.319
 that

00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:46.819
 in

00:26:46.819 --> 00:26:47.079
 those

00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:47.819
 extreme

00:26:47.819 --> 00:26:48.940
 situations

00:26:48.940 --> 00:26:51.059
 believers

00:26:51.059 --> 00:26:51.579
 are given

00:26:51.579 --> 00:26:52.559
 extraordinary

00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:53.200
 ability

00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:53.980
 by God

00:26:53.980 --> 00:26:54.460
 himself

00:26:54.460 --> 00:26:55.940
 to

00:26:55.940 --> 00:26:57.039
 have

 honors

00:27:01.339 --> 00:27:01.619
 the

 that

00:27:03.740 --> 00:27:04.200

00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:05.960
 will

00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:06.420
 simply

00:27:06.420 --> 00:27:06.879
 be the

00:27:06.879 --> 00:27:07.319
 gateway

00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:08.480
 to

00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:09.000
 eternal

00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:09.859
 life

00:27:09.859 --> 00:27:10.180
 in his

00:27:10.180 --> 00:27:10.720
 presence

00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:12.279

00:27:13.379 --> 00:27:13.740
 again

00:27:13.740 --> 00:27:14.039
 if you

00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:14.279
 turn

00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:14.500
 over

00:27:14.500 --> 00:27:14.660
 the

00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:15.160
 to

 chapter

00:27:15.460 --> 00:27:15.799
 1

00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:15.960

00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:16.680
 Peter

00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:17.960
 Peter

00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:18.639
 himself

00:27:18.639 --> 00:27:19.599
 is very

00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:20.019
 conscious

00:27:20.019 --> 00:27:20.660
 of this

00:27:20.660 --> 00:27:22.440
 chapter

00:27:23.619 --> 00:27:24.339
 I think

00:27:24.339 --> 00:27:24.539
 it's

00:27:24.539 --> 00:27:24.799
 right

00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:25.000
 to

00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:25.399
 refresh

00:27:25.399 --> 00:27:25.619
 your

00:27:25.619 --> 00:27:26.359

00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:27.519
 as long

00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:27.839
 as I

00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:28.039
 live

00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:28.379
 in the

00:27:28.379 --> 00:27:28.720
 tent

00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:28.899
 of

00:27:28.899 --> 00:27:29.119
 this

00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:29.440
 body

00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:29.779
 because

00:27:29.779 --> 00:27:30.180
 I

00:27:30.180 --> 00:27:30.660
 know

00:27:30.660 --> 00:27:31.639
 that I

00:27:31.639 --> 00:27:31.799
 will

00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:32.099
 soon

00:27:32.099 --> 00:27:32.480
 put it

00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:32.839
 aside

00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:33.279
 as our

 Christ

00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:34.440
 has

00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:34.639
 made

00:27:34.639 --> 00:27:34.940
 clear

00:27:34.940 --> 00:27:35.139
 to

00:27:35.139 --> 00:27:35.359
 me

00:27:38.539 --> 00:27:39.079
 told him

00:27:39.079 --> 00:27:39.299
 that

00:37:24.340 --> 00:37:24.960
 if we
