00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.919
 It has been an immense pleasure for my wife and I to be here in these past days.

00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:08.900
 It is a catalyst conference.

00:00:10.580 --> 00:00:17.060
 The singing together has lifted our souls up to the Lord repeatedly throughout the day.

00:00:17.179 --> 00:00:20.880
 And then hearing the word of God, well, I heard it in three different sessions.

00:00:21.179 --> 00:00:22.600
 And then preaching myself.

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:29.539
 And then the fellowship of the gospel, people who know and love the Lord Jesus,

00:00:29.700 --> 00:00:31.640
 is the kind of thing just to elevate your soul.

00:00:31.799 --> 00:00:34.280
 It's been a beautiful, elevating week.

00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:38.960
 We are very privileged to have been able to participate in this.

00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:50.160
 As you heard the scripture read this morning, you thought if you were engaged, as I think you were,

00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:57.560
 you probably had your mind go back to when you were young and there were flannel graphs

00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:02.280
 and you had the four stretcher bearers and the whole story.

00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:05.239
 This is a story that everyone knows.

00:01:06.700 --> 00:01:08.820
 And we've known it since we were children.

00:01:09.140 --> 00:01:12.799
 And it lends itself to great teaching of spiritual truths.

00:01:13.700 --> 00:01:21.740
 It is a story that is freighted with some very heavy theology as it is unpacked.

00:01:21.739 --> 00:01:29.879
 And so as we move through this this morning, you'll find that it gets more intense and more beautiful

00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:34.079
 and more pointed as it goes on.

00:01:34.299 --> 00:01:37.919
 So we're going to get into that story this morning.

00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:43.719
 Now, Alpine hikers have told me that when caught in a brewing storm,

00:01:44.340 --> 00:01:51.260
 they've seen the hair on the heads of their fellow hikers, say hi in the Alps or the Sierras,

00:01:51.900 --> 00:01:54.840
 stand out in a radiant crown from their head.

00:01:54.840 --> 00:02:06.900
 The metal flames of their backpacks in the days they had them would begin to glow with kind of a blue, eerie, neon light blue

00:02:06.900 --> 00:02:11.219
 called, if you know the words, St. Elmo's Fire.

00:02:11.219 --> 00:02:17.860
 And that term, I don't want you to look up on your phones right now, but you'll have fun if you check it out,

00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:20.699
 has been recorded since ancient times.

00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:27.500
 Sailors would see the mast of a ship getting into a squall

00:02:27.500 --> 00:02:33.620
 and see an eerie light moving back and forth with St. Elmo's Fire.

00:02:33.620 --> 00:02:42.159
 Airline pilots today say they sometimes see it on the windscreen of their planes if they're getting into a storm.

00:02:42.860 --> 00:02:49.900
 In all cases, it means the air is charged with electricity and lightning is about to strike.

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.939
 If you're a hiker, especially in those days you discard your pack, take cover,

00:02:54.740 --> 00:02:57.439
 because you could be struck with lightning.

00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:04.120
 I think this St. Elmo's Fire, this electricity in the air,

00:03:04.259 --> 00:03:11.419
 conveys something to the atmosphere in Capernaum as we come to our text this morning,

00:03:11.419 --> 00:03:19.680
 because there is a kind of spiritual fire hovering over those who jammed in that little house in Capernaum.

00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:24.599
 It's invisible, but it's palpable.

00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:27.879
 And people there could sense it.

00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:32.719
 And verses 1 and 2 give us sort of a feel for the situation.

00:03:34.259 --> 00:03:39.079
 And when he came to Capernaum, after some days, it was reported that he was at home.

00:03:39.740 --> 00:03:43.740
 And many were gathered together so that there was no more room,

00:03:44.419 --> 00:03:46.240
 not even at the door.

00:03:47.519 --> 00:03:50.000
 And he was preaching the word to them.

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:57.439
 Now, the home, most of us think, is probably that of the Apostle Peter's mother-in-law.

00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:03.199
 And when word got out that Jesus was back and staying there,

00:04:03.300 --> 00:04:04.780
 people began to show up at the door.

00:04:05.020 --> 00:04:10.000
 And almost immediately, the home in which Jesus had stayed is packed with people.

00:04:10.860 --> 00:04:12.020
 So I'm just curious.

00:04:12.020 --> 00:04:21.720
 You can imagine having heard about this rabbi, his preaching, his miracles.

00:04:22.780 --> 00:04:29.240
 Others were new bright-eyed disciples who gazed on Jesus, locked in on Jesus,

00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:35.860
 hung on his every word, watched his every move, wanted to engage him.

00:04:35.860 --> 00:04:40.900
 And then important people began to show who looked a bit edgy and nervous,

00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.560
 avoided eye contact with the crowds around.

00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:49.699
 And as always the case, crowds attract crowds.

00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:54.400
 And so pretty soon, it's impossible even to get to the door.

00:04:55.100 --> 00:05:00.960
 And so outside, there is dust and noise and heat and disease and jostling and crowding.

00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:05.219
 And still more people are pressing to get into that house.

00:05:06.620 --> 00:05:12.519
 If you've been to that area of Capernaum, you can picture this very clearly.

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:20.560
 Yet with all this great crush and hubbub and noise and dust and jostling,

00:05:20.939 --> 00:05:23.639
 there are only two dominating presences.

00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:27.620
 First, as a parallel account, Luke tells us,

00:05:28.259 --> 00:05:31.120
 there were the Pharisees and teachers of the law.

00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:34.060
 It already gathered there.

00:05:36.039 --> 00:05:42.819
 It may be to the unsuspecting crowd that it looked like the spiritual life conference was taking place.

00:05:42.919 --> 00:05:44.219
 The heavyweights had come.

00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.259
 But in actuality, it was an investigative committee

00:05:48.259 --> 00:05:53.199
 seeing what they could get on this young rabbi.

00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:58.099
 And there is only standing room.

00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.259
 It tells us the Pharisees were sitting.

00:06:02.939 --> 00:06:06.919
 Now Jesus, as a rabbi teaching, would be sitting also.

00:06:07.139 --> 00:06:10.199
 So the picture you have is a packed place.

00:06:10.659 --> 00:06:12.899
 The Pharisees seated before Jesus.

00:06:13.339 --> 00:06:14.139
 Jesus seated.

00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:16.060
 Them with their suspicious looks.

00:06:16.060 --> 00:06:19.740
 Just waiting for a slip up by Jesus.

00:06:19.740 --> 00:06:24.120
 Interpersonal fire in the air.

00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:30.959
 The other presence, of course, is the Lord Jesus.

00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:33.600
 Himself calm.

00:06:35.620 --> 00:06:36.139
 Unperturbed.

00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:37.920
 In absolute control.

00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:40.660
 And it tells us he was preaching the word to them.

00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.579
 That is the gospel of God, according to the opening chapter,

00:06:44.699 --> 00:06:47.620
 about the nearness of the kingdom and necessity of faith and repentance.

00:06:47.620 --> 00:06:53.000
 And I, this is my opinion,

00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:57.180
 but I personally think that expectant crowd sensed the tension.

00:06:59.019 --> 00:07:01.660
 Not that they exactly knew what it was,

00:07:01.699 --> 00:07:04.019
 but they sensed that something was going to happen.

00:07:04.019 --> 00:07:07.599
 Luke's parallel account.

00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:13.419
 Luke 5.17 says about this account,

00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:17.859
 that the power of the Lord was with him to heal.

00:07:20.379 --> 00:07:21.560
 He'd been healing.

00:07:22.819 --> 00:07:24.539
 People were looking for healings.

00:07:24.620 --> 00:07:25.759
 They expected healings.

00:07:26.359 --> 00:07:27.079
 And Luke says,

00:07:27.299 --> 00:07:29.599
 the power is with him to heal.

00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.600
 So, the room is charged.

00:07:33.520 --> 00:07:35.480
 The relational atmosphere crackled.

00:07:36.840 --> 00:07:38.960
 And then a disturbance began.

00:07:39.980 --> 00:07:43.160
 One we all know from our childhood.

00:07:44.200 --> 00:07:46.000
 Mark continues in verses 3 and 4.

00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:50.080
 And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men.

00:07:51.180 --> 00:07:54.680
 And when they could not get near him because of the crowd,

00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:58.400
 they removed the roof above him.

00:07:59.400 --> 00:08:01.040
 And when they had made an opening,

00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:06.340
 they let the bed down on which the paralytic lay.

00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:09.579
 Now, filling in the lines,

00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:12.840
 and I think it's fair to do this with this,

00:08:12.939 --> 00:08:14.860
 is that four men struggling with the litter

00:08:14.860 --> 00:08:16.840
 on which the helpless paralytic lay

00:08:16.840 --> 00:08:19.360
 approached the friends of the pressing crowd.

00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:23.080
 We'd have to understand that their few attempts

00:08:23.080 --> 00:08:25.160
 to get through proved futile.

00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:28.680
 I think it's fair to say,

00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:30.980
 maybe they put the stretcher down,

00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:31.759
 mopped their brows,

00:08:31.900 --> 00:08:32.539
 looked around,

00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:34.080
 conferred,

00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:35.779
 and then picked up the stretcher

00:08:35.779 --> 00:08:37.779
 and moved around to the side

00:08:37.779 --> 00:08:39.300
 of the flat-roofed house.

00:08:41.100 --> 00:08:43.440
 Possibly an outside stairway existed,

00:08:43.580 --> 00:08:45.539
 as some houses did in Capernaum.

00:08:45.539 --> 00:08:47.839
 Or perhaps they ascended the roof

00:08:47.839 --> 00:08:49.799
 of another house through a stairway

00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:51.360
 and then climbed over on the other roof.

00:08:51.939 --> 00:08:52.539
 Whatever the situation,

00:08:53.319 --> 00:08:57.519
 after a lot of hauling and tugging and effort,

00:08:57.699 --> 00:08:59.199
 they got their friend on the roof,

00:09:00.539 --> 00:09:03.899
 rested for a moment to catch their breath,

00:09:04.179 --> 00:09:08.559
 and did the most astonishing thing.

00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:12.159
 They began to tear a hole in the roof.

00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:15.699
 Now the typical Galilean roof

00:09:15.699 --> 00:09:17.000
 is constructed of timbers,

00:09:17.459 --> 00:09:20.000
 as we would with roof joists today,

00:09:20.139 --> 00:09:21.120
 and then across that,

00:09:21.500 --> 00:09:22.419
 smaller timbers,

00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:24.100
 and then on top of that,

00:09:24.459 --> 00:09:26.179
 branches and leaves

00:09:26.179 --> 00:09:29.019
 and other plant matter,

00:09:29.419 --> 00:09:33.480
 and then a foot of mud on top of that.

00:09:33.659 --> 00:09:37.639
 So the typical Galilean roof

00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.139
 would be up to two to three feet thick.

00:09:41.139 --> 00:09:44.480
 So they're digging into this roof,

00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:46.299
 tearing into it.

00:09:48.299 --> 00:09:49.840
 You're inside the house.

00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:52.059
 Got this much roof above you.

00:09:52.980 --> 00:09:55.220
 And as they dig in,

00:09:55.980 --> 00:09:57.299
 dust begins to fall.

00:09:58.439 --> 00:10:00.899
 A little light perhaps starts to show

00:10:00.899 --> 00:10:02.360
 between the beams.

00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:05.139
 Debris would have begun to fall

00:10:05.139 --> 00:10:08.159
 fall on those as the crack widened

00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.080
 to the size of man.

00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:15.620
 The Bible doesn't say this either,

00:10:16.100 --> 00:10:19.439
 but I can be fairly sure

00:10:19.439 --> 00:10:21.139
 that there were some words exchanged

00:10:21.139 --> 00:10:22.740
 between those sitting below

00:10:22.740 --> 00:10:26.679
 and those tearing the hole in the roof.

00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:30.219
 And if Peter was there,

00:10:30.299 --> 00:10:32.019
 then you know there were some words exchanged

00:10:32.019 --> 00:10:34.039
 because this was his mother-in-law's house.

00:10:36.979 --> 00:10:39.019
 Then the paralytic's bed

00:10:39.019 --> 00:10:41.199
 slowly descended on ropes.

00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:44.740
 This man is a desperate,

00:10:45.540 --> 00:10:46.820
 helpless paralytic.

00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:48.120
 What a scene!

00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:52.120
 Above with the light streaming in

00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:53.580
 and dusty beams

00:10:53.580 --> 00:10:58.480
 is the stretcher descending slowly.

00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.340
 And below,

00:11:01.659 --> 00:11:03.240
 the Pharisees and the scribes

00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:03.860
 grimacing,

00:11:04.060 --> 00:11:05.800
 shaking dirt off their robes.

00:11:06.980 --> 00:11:09.200
 In the midst sits Jesus,

00:11:09.379 --> 00:11:10.500
 the Prince of Peace,

00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:12.560
 with the paralytic now

00:11:12.560 --> 00:11:14.100
 lowered before him.

00:11:17.800 --> 00:11:18.820
 What a scene!

00:11:20.379 --> 00:11:22.899
 And history would remember this.

00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:25.519
 The church remembers it.

00:11:25.580 --> 00:11:26.960
 We recite it again and again,

00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:28.100
 and we all know what happened.

00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:30.120
 But for a moment,

00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:32.639
 as we move into this passage,

00:11:32.779 --> 00:11:34.740
 let's concentrate on those four friends.

00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:36.300
 What about them?

00:11:37.539 --> 00:11:38.460
 You have to say,

00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:40.139
 they really loved him.

00:11:41.340 --> 00:11:43.560
 There's no way they'd be put off by the crowd.

00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:45.720
 They abused someone else's property

00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:46.920
 that they would have to repair

00:11:46.920 --> 00:11:48.220
 to get him to them.

00:11:48.220 --> 00:11:49.620
 They ignored the protests

00:11:49.620 --> 00:11:51.240
 and judgments of those around,

00:11:52.060 --> 00:11:53.240
 the indifferent crowd,

00:11:53.659 --> 00:11:56.580
 for the sake of their pathetic friend.

00:11:58.480 --> 00:11:58.960
 Say,

00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:00.440
 this kind of love,

00:12:00.500 --> 00:12:01.019
 what was it?

00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:01.279
 Well,

00:12:01.379 --> 00:12:02.440
 perhaps it was family.

00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:04.820
 Loved brother or uncle.

00:12:06.940 --> 00:12:09.420
 Maybe simply a childhood neighbor

00:12:09.420 --> 00:12:10.560
 that they played with

00:12:10.560 --> 00:12:11.680
 and knew and loved

00:12:11.680 --> 00:12:13.580
 in the Capernaum area.

00:12:13.580 --> 00:12:15.220
 But whatever,

00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:16.280
 they loved him.

00:12:18.040 --> 00:12:19.759
 So whatever happened today,

00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:21.580
 whether it was healing

00:12:21.580 --> 00:12:23.120
 or rejection,

00:12:23.680 --> 00:12:25.160
 whatever,

00:12:26.500 --> 00:12:29.560
 he was a very rich man

00:12:29.560 --> 00:12:30.680
 because he had something

00:12:30.680 --> 00:12:33.420
 people pay millions for,

00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:35.160
 culturally today,

00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:36.459
 and can't buy.

00:12:38.139 --> 00:12:39.419
 They have friends like that.

00:12:40.719 --> 00:12:41.159
 And so,

00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:42.579
 because of the love

00:12:42.579 --> 00:12:43.539
 of their four friends,

00:12:44.699 --> 00:12:45.879
 something was going to happen

00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:47.019
 in his life that day.

00:12:48.459 --> 00:12:50.039
 Their remarkable love

00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:51.159
 is paired with something

00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:52.959
 I think is even more remarkable

00:12:52.959 --> 00:12:54.139
 and that's their faith.

00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:57.319
 There was no way

00:12:57.319 --> 00:12:58.100
 that they would have gone

00:12:58.100 --> 00:12:59.899
 to such outrageous extremes

00:12:59.899 --> 00:13:00.480
 of action

00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:02.839
 if they did not implicitly believe

00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:05.060
 that Christ could heal them

00:13:05.060 --> 00:13:06.639
 and would heal them.

00:13:08.340 --> 00:13:08.560
 I mean,

00:13:08.620 --> 00:13:09.340
 a wavering faith

00:13:09.340 --> 00:13:10.139
 would have demurred.

00:13:12.040 --> 00:13:12.519
 Perhaps,

00:13:13.040 --> 00:13:14.080
 when they were hoisting

00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:16.540
 the stretcher up on the roof

00:13:16.540 --> 00:13:18.040
 and began to tear through the roof

00:13:18.040 --> 00:13:19.639
 and a wavering,

00:13:19.700 --> 00:13:20.840
 one of the guys could have said,

00:13:21.500 --> 00:13:21.840
 you know,

00:13:22.160 --> 00:13:23.740
 you'll have to finish this yourself.

00:13:23.860 --> 00:13:25.460
 I've got some other things to do.

00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.280
 But they truly believed.

00:13:29.660 --> 00:13:30.600
 And the faith

00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:32.620
 was not a vague,

00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:34.240
 passive thing

00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:35.720
 like so many imagine it,

00:13:35.780 --> 00:13:36.800
 subjective thing.

00:13:37.340 --> 00:13:38.259
 It was

00:13:38.259 --> 00:13:39.820
 persistent.

00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:42.040
 When they got their friend

00:13:42.040 --> 00:13:42.700
 on the roof,

00:13:43.160 --> 00:13:44.580
 there was no stopping them.

00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:47.180
 They didn't say,

00:13:47.899 --> 00:13:49.580
 well, the door's closed.

00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:50.879
 I guess this isn't God's will.

00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:55.040
 They didn't leave them there either.

00:13:55.040 --> 00:13:56.060
 They didn't leave them

00:13:56.060 --> 00:13:57.920
 to a committee.

00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:00.480
 He'd still be there.

00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:04.460
 And Jesus loved this.

00:14:06.460 --> 00:14:07.300
 In fact,

00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:10.040
 he lauded this kind of action

00:14:10.040 --> 00:14:12.100
 in an enigmatic saying.

00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:14.180
 And perhaps you've heard this saying

00:14:14.180 --> 00:14:14.759
 and wondered,

00:14:15.040 --> 00:14:15.340
 really,

00:14:15.420 --> 00:14:17.320
 what is the thrust of this saying?

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:19.560
 It's a saying that is recorded

00:14:19.560 --> 00:14:20.300
 in Matthew 11,

00:14:20.299 --> 00:14:21.579
 where it says,

00:14:22.019 --> 00:14:23.679
 from the days of John the Baptist

00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:24.519
 until now,

00:14:24.579 --> 00:14:25.439
 the kingdom of heaven

00:14:25.439 --> 00:14:26.539
 has suffered violence,

00:14:27.179 --> 00:14:29.559
 and the violent

00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:31.759
 take it by force.

00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:35.699
 When those

00:14:35.699 --> 00:14:37.620
 four determined

00:14:37.620 --> 00:14:38.879
 men

00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:40.019
 tore through the roof,

00:14:40.139 --> 00:14:41.000
 they took the kingdom

00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:41.939
 by violent,

00:14:42.219 --> 00:14:42.699
 determined,

00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:44.519
 graced force.

00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:46.840
 the kind of force

00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:47.679
 that unleashes

00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:48.960
 God's power.

00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:50.460
 It's the kind of thing

00:14:50.460 --> 00:14:51.759
 that Jesus loves.

00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:53.759
 It is the kind of force

00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:54.159
 that

00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:55.779
 sent missionaries

00:14:55.779 --> 00:14:57.220
 out by the droves

00:14:57.220 --> 00:14:58.399
 in the

00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:00.600
 19th century

00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:02.600
 all over the world.

00:15:03.980 --> 00:15:04.980
 It drives

00:15:04.980 --> 00:15:06.139
 foreign missions today.

00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:06.659
 It drives

00:15:06.659 --> 00:15:08.139
 pioneer missions today.

00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:09.579
 It drives

00:15:09.579 --> 00:15:11.600
 those that will go

00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:12.220
 and spend

00:15:12.220 --> 00:15:12.720
 the time

00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:13.320
 in a culture

00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:14.879
 that is very

00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:15.940
 difficult to understand

00:15:15.940 --> 00:15:17.040
 that perhaps

00:15:17.040 --> 00:15:17.940
 doesn't want them

00:15:17.940 --> 00:15:19.080
 so they can share

00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:19.800
 the gospel.

00:15:20.920 --> 00:15:21.540
 That's taking

00:15:21.540 --> 00:15:22.040
 the kingdom

00:15:22.040 --> 00:15:22.980
 by force.

00:15:23.040 --> 00:15:24.019
 It's a beautiful thing

00:15:24.019 --> 00:15:24.980
 and Jesus loves it.

00:15:27.460 --> 00:15:28.399
 And in taking

00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:28.800
 the kingdom

00:15:28.800 --> 00:15:29.620
 by force,

00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:30.660
 they were all

00:15:30.660 --> 00:15:31.340
 so creative.

00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:32.440
 There are undoubtedly

00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:33.800
 people standing around

00:15:33.800 --> 00:15:34.220
 saying,

00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:35.399
 why didn't we

00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:35.980
 think of that?

00:15:37.980 --> 00:15:38.540
 Reason

00:15:38.540 --> 00:15:39.120
 they didn't

00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:39.920
 think of that

00:15:39.920 --> 00:15:41.279
 is that they

00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:42.399
 didn't love

00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:43.100
 like that

00:15:43.100 --> 00:15:43.959
 or believe

00:15:43.959 --> 00:15:44.699
 like that.

00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:48.079
 And their faith

00:15:48.079 --> 00:15:48.819
 was sacrificial.

00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:49.559
 Somebody had to

00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:50.279
 pay for the roof

00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.340
 and someone would.

00:15:53.179 --> 00:15:53.699
 But price

00:15:53.699 --> 00:15:54.759
 wasn't a consideration.

00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:56.559
 And

00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:58.480
 perhaps

00:15:58.480 --> 00:15:59.759
 you're new

00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:00.340
 to the fellowship

00:16:00.340 --> 00:16:02.139
 of this church

00:16:02.139 --> 00:16:04.360
 and you wondered

00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:05.360
 what it is

00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:07.000
 to put your faith

00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:08.100
 in Christ.

00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:09.439
 And there's a

00:16:09.439 --> 00:16:10.319
 snapshot here

00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:11.100
 and it's about

00:16:11.100 --> 00:16:11.620
 action.

00:16:12.780 --> 00:16:13.440
 Gospel Mark

00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:15.240
 tells us

00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:15.980
 faith's not just

00:16:15.980 --> 00:16:16.900
 knowing the facts,

00:16:16.980 --> 00:16:17.560
 it involves

00:16:17.560 --> 00:16:18.260
 action.

00:16:19.540 --> 00:16:20.460
 And so the faith

00:16:20.460 --> 00:16:20.960
 of those four

00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:21.480
 friends meant

00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:22.320
 that no one

00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:22.940
 could keep them

00:16:22.940 --> 00:16:23.340
 from bringing

00:16:23.340 --> 00:16:23.920
 their pitiful

00:16:23.920 --> 00:16:25.020
 friend to Jesus.

00:16:25.160 --> 00:16:25.540
 They just

00:16:25.540 --> 00:16:26.560
 found a way

00:16:26.560 --> 00:16:27.020
 around the

00:16:27.020 --> 00:16:27.740
 callous crowd

00:16:27.740 --> 00:16:28.160
 and the roof

00:16:28.160 --> 00:16:28.480
 they just

00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:29.120
 ripped it off.

00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:31.899
 If you were

00:16:31.899 --> 00:16:32.399
 to put this

00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:33.139
 in the context

00:16:33.139 --> 00:16:33.879
 of contemporary

00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:34.480
 life it would

00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:34.840
 be like

00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:35.840
 you heard a

00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:36.639
 chainsaw start

00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:37.080
 up on the

00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:38.679
 roof and

00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:39.159
 then a

00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:39.700
 blade came

00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:40.060
 through the

00:16:40.060 --> 00:16:40.460
 roof and

00:16:40.460 --> 00:16:41.460
 then sawdust

00:16:41.460 --> 00:16:42.019
 began to

00:16:42.019 --> 00:16:42.259
 fall.

00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:44.500
 It is a

00:16:44.500 --> 00:16:45.980
 beautifully

00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:46.759
 graced

00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:48.340
 violent act

00:16:48.340 --> 00:16:48.940
 to get them

00:16:48.940 --> 00:16:49.440
 to Jesus

00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:50.159
 because they

00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:50.879
 believed.

00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:55.059
 now as

00:16:55.059 --> 00:16:55.559
 Christians

00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:57.519
 speaking to

00:16:57.519 --> 00:16:57.919
 the choir

00:16:57.919 --> 00:16:58.519
 this morning

00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:01.159
 we believe

00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:01.659
 that Jesus

00:17:01.659 --> 00:17:02.580
 is the only

00:17:02.580 --> 00:17:03.299
 person who

00:17:03.299 --> 00:17:03.860
 can change

00:17:03.860 --> 00:17:04.400
 our lives

00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:04.880
 forever.

00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:08.200
 Is that

00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:08.440
 what we

00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:08.799
 believe?

00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:12.380
 I think

00:17:12.380 --> 00:17:13.059
 that's why

00:17:13.059 --> 00:17:13.380
 we're here.

00:17:13.500 --> 00:17:14.039
 We believe

00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:14.619
 that Jesus

00:17:14.619 --> 00:17:15.480
 is the only

00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:16.119
 person who

00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:16.700
 can change

00:17:16.700 --> 00:17:17.420
 our lives

00:17:17.420 --> 00:17:18.059
 forever.

00:17:18.059 --> 00:17:20.679
 He's the

00:17:20.679 --> 00:17:21.379
 only one

00:17:21.379 --> 00:17:21.859
 who can

00:17:21.859 --> 00:17:22.440
 meet our

00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:22.819
 deepest

00:17:22.819 --> 00:17:23.519
 needs.

00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:26.339
 We believe

00:17:26.339 --> 00:17:26.720
 that He's

00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:27.240
 our only

00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:27.859
 hope.

00:17:29.879 --> 00:17:30.599
 And we

00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:31.419
 passionately

00:17:31.419 --> 00:17:32.000
 believe that.

00:17:32.059 --> 00:17:32.440
 That's why

00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:33.119
 we're here.

00:17:36.299 --> 00:17:36.919
 I just

00:17:36.919 --> 00:17:37.240
 want to say

00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:37.440
 if you're

00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:37.859
 here today

00:17:37.859 --> 00:17:38.559
 because some

00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:38.980
 friends have

00:17:38.980 --> 00:17:39.720
 invited you

00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:42.299
 and may

00:17:42.299 --> 00:17:43.200
 even pestered

00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:43.579
 you to be

00:17:43.579 --> 00:17:43.819
 here.

00:17:45.740 --> 00:17:46.700
 It's because

00:17:46.700 --> 00:17:47.259
 you have

00:17:47.259 --> 00:17:47.700
 faithful

00:17:47.700 --> 00:17:48.380
 friends and

00:17:48.380 --> 00:17:49.080
 you are

00:17:49.080 --> 00:17:49.600
 a blessed

00:17:49.600 --> 00:17:52.120
 person with

00:17:52.120 --> 00:17:52.779
 true friends

00:17:52.779 --> 00:17:53.840
 who love

00:17:53.840 --> 00:17:54.080
 you.

00:17:55.360 --> 00:17:55.940
 If you

00:17:55.940 --> 00:17:56.160
 want to

00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:56.660
 step back

00:17:56.660 --> 00:17:57.120
 the real

00:17:57.120 --> 00:17:57.860
 paralytics

00:17:57.860 --> 00:17:58.340
 were the

00:17:58.340 --> 00:17:58.840
 Pharisees

00:17:58.840 --> 00:17:59.799
 and scribes

00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:01.519
 in contrast

00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:02.080
 to the

00:18:02.080 --> 00:18:02.420
 four

00:18:02.420 --> 00:18:03.259
 treasure

00:18:03.259 --> 00:18:03.680
 bearers

00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:03.900
 they're

00:18:03.900 --> 00:18:04.319
 just

00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:04.680
 sitting

00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:05.019
 there.

00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:06.759
 Even

00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:08.100
 if they

00:18:08.100 --> 00:18:08.779
 are there

00:18:08.779 --> 00:18:09.299
 to find

00:18:09.299 --> 00:18:09.779
 something

00:18:09.779 --> 00:18:10.620
 on Jesus

00:18:10.620 --> 00:18:11.360
 they could

00:18:11.360 --> 00:18:11.480
 have

00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:11.799
 certainly

00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:12.279
 welcomed

00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:12.600
 the man

00:18:12.600 --> 00:18:12.940
 down

00:18:12.940 --> 00:18:13.299
 had a

00:18:13.299 --> 00:18:13.680
 prime

00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:14.180
 exhibit

00:18:14.180 --> 00:18:14.860
 and

00:18:14.860 --> 00:18:16.380
 helped

00:18:16.380 --> 00:18:16.840
 things

00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:17.199
 but you

00:18:17.199 --> 00:18:17.500
 find

00:18:17.500 --> 00:18:17.679
 they're

00:18:17.679 --> 00:18:17.980
 just

00:18:17.980 --> 00:18:18.419
 sitting

00:18:18.419 --> 00:18:18.799
 there

00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:20.720
 indifference

00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:22.819
 criticism

00:18:22.819 --> 00:18:24.959
 and of

00:18:24.959 --> 00:18:25.119
 course

00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:25.419
 the Lord

00:18:25.419 --> 00:18:25.740
 Jesus

00:18:25.740 --> 00:18:26.179
 saw

00:18:26.179 --> 00:18:26.919
 everything

00:18:26.919 --> 00:18:27.699
 more

00:18:27.699 --> 00:18:28.179
 clearly

00:18:28.179 --> 00:18:28.720
 than we

00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:29.079
 do

00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:31.399
 so he

00:18:31.399 --> 00:18:32.000
 decided

00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:32.899
 and this

00:18:32.899 --> 00:18:33.259
 is it

00:18:33.259 --> 00:18:33.939
 in this

00:18:33.939 --> 00:18:34.859
 charged

00:18:34.859 --> 00:18:35.759
 electric

00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:36.419
 moment

00:18:36.419 --> 00:18:37.019
 with a

00:18:37.019 --> 00:18:37.599
 paralytic

00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:38.399
 before him

00:18:38.399 --> 00:18:39.019
 to make

00:18:39.019 --> 00:18:39.619
 a point

00:18:39.619 --> 00:18:41.139
 and what

00:18:41.139 --> 00:18:41.599
 Jesus

00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:42.239
 said

00:18:42.239 --> 00:18:43.119
 and what

00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:43.479
 Jesus

00:18:43.479 --> 00:18:43.779
 did

00:18:43.779 --> 00:18:43.959
 is

00:18:43.959 --> 00:18:44.919
 absolutely

00:18:44.919 --> 00:18:45.979
 shocking

00:18:45.979 --> 00:18:47.959
 it's a

00:18:47.959 --> 00:18:48.339
 bolt of

00:18:48.339 --> 00:18:48.799
 lightning

00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:50.559
 as he

00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:50.979
 said

00:18:50.979 --> 00:18:51.479
 to the

00:18:51.479 --> 00:18:52.039
 paralytic

00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:53.679
 my

00:18:53.679 --> 00:18:54.239
 son

00:18:54.239 --> 00:18:55.359
 your

00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:55.839
 sins

00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:56.299
 are

00:18:56.299 --> 00:18:56.759
 forgiven

00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:58.799
 you

00:18:58.799 --> 00:18:58.959
 say

00:18:58.959 --> 00:18:59.439
 shocking

00:18:59.439 --> 00:19:01.419
 yes

00:19:01.419 --> 00:19:02.419
 for

00:19:02.419 --> 00:19:02.719
 two

00:19:02.719 --> 00:19:03.459
 reasons

00:19:03.459 --> 00:19:05.279
 first

00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:05.879
 because

00:19:05.879 --> 00:19:06.979
 your

00:19:06.979 --> 00:19:07.259
 sins

00:19:07.259 --> 00:19:07.399
 are

00:19:07.399 --> 00:19:07.759
 forgiven

00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:08.559
 is so

00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:09.339
 irrelevant

00:19:09.339 --> 00:19:12.759
 here's

00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:13.319
 a guy

00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:15.339
 pathetic

00:19:15.339 --> 00:19:16.359
 paralytic

00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:17.660
 in

00:19:17.660 --> 00:19:18.240
 aching

00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:19.279
 desperation

00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:20.799
 brought

00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:21.480
 to Jesus

00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:22.019
 lowered

00:19:22.019 --> 00:19:22.400
 down

00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:23.059
 before him

00:19:23.059 --> 00:19:23.940
 and Jesus

00:19:23.940 --> 00:19:24.480
 says

00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:26.099
 my

00:19:26.099 --> 00:19:26.500
 son

00:19:26.500 --> 00:19:27.539
 your

00:19:27.539 --> 00:19:27.779
 sins

00:19:27.779 --> 00:19:27.920
 are

00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:28.299
 forgiven

00:19:28.299 --> 00:19:28.779
 I mean

00:19:28.779 --> 00:19:29.200
 everyone

00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:29.559
 in the

00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:29.759
 room

00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:30.140
 could see

00:19:30.140 --> 00:19:30.480
 what his

00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:30.799
 greatest

00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:31.180
 need

00:19:31.180 --> 00:19:31.839
 was

00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:34.059
 and it

00:19:34.059 --> 00:19:34.400
 wasn't

00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:34.900
 that

00:19:34.900 --> 00:19:36.839
 you know

00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:37.400
 thanks a lot

00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:37.860
 Jesus

00:19:37.860 --> 00:19:39.780
 I didn't

00:19:39.780 --> 00:19:40.140
 come here

00:19:40.140 --> 00:19:40.519
 for a

00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:40.800
 sleight

00:19:40.800 --> 00:19:41.240
 of hand

00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:42.740
 take me

00:19:42.740 --> 00:19:43.080
 home

00:19:43.080 --> 00:19:44.700
 well

00:19:44.700 --> 00:19:45.680
 that's

00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:45.960
 not what

00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:46.380
 happened

00:19:46.380 --> 00:19:48.840
 but if

00:19:48.840 --> 00:19:49.200
 Jesus

00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:49.780
 is the

00:19:49.780 --> 00:19:50.100
 son of

00:19:50.100 --> 00:19:50.460
 God

00:19:50.460 --> 00:19:51.660
 we'd

00:19:51.660 --> 00:19:51.820
 better

00:19:51.820 --> 00:19:52.160
 listen

00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:52.660
 carefully

00:19:52.660 --> 00:19:53.100
 because

00:19:53.100 --> 00:19:53.740
 he never

00:19:53.740 --> 00:19:54.540
 indulges

00:19:54.540 --> 00:19:54.820
 in

00:19:54.820 --> 00:19:55.780
 irrelevancies

00:19:55.780 --> 00:19:58.060
 when

00:19:58.060 --> 00:19:58.480
 Jesus

00:19:58.480 --> 00:19:58.800
 looked

00:19:58.800 --> 00:19:59.000
 down

00:19:59.000 --> 00:19:59.120
 at

00:19:59.120 --> 00:19:59.259
 this

00:19:59.259 --> 00:19:59.759
 man

00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:00.800
 he saw

00:20:00.800 --> 00:20:00.960
 his

00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:01.200
 many

00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:01.600
 needs

00:20:01.600 --> 00:20:02.259
 he saw

00:20:02.259 --> 00:20:03.560
 shriveled

00:20:03.560 --> 00:20:04.180
 appendages

00:20:04.180 --> 00:20:04.720
 arms

00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:05.480
 and legs

00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:07.980
 a

00:20:07.980 --> 00:20:08.319
 man

00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:08.880
 who

00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:09.420
 surely

00:20:09.420 --> 00:20:09.740
 felt

00:20:09.740 --> 00:20:10.180
 himself

00:20:10.180 --> 00:20:10.480
 a

00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:10.779
 burden

00:20:10.779 --> 00:20:11.059
 to

00:20:11.059 --> 00:20:11.599
 others

00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:12.599
 a

00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:12.860
 man

00:20:12.860 --> 00:20:13.099
 who

00:20:13.099 --> 00:20:13.319
 is

00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:14.039
 aching

00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:14.599
 prisoner

00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:15.019
 of his

00:20:15.019 --> 00:20:15.660
 body

00:20:15.660 --> 00:20:17.420
 but he

00:20:17.420 --> 00:20:18.220
 looked down

00:20:18.220 --> 00:20:18.660
 on that

00:20:18.660 --> 00:20:18.980
 pitiful

00:20:18.980 --> 00:20:19.500
 man

00:20:19.500 --> 00:20:20.779
 he saw

00:20:20.779 --> 00:20:21.079
 his

00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:21.559
 greatest

00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:22.019
 need

00:20:22.019 --> 00:20:22.319
 which

00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:22.759
 was

00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:24.019
 the

00:20:24.019 --> 00:20:24.360
 forgiveness

00:20:24.360 --> 00:20:24.660
 of

00:20:24.660 --> 00:20:25.079
 sins

00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:27.759
 and

00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:27.960
 when

00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:28.180
 he

00:20:28.180 --> 00:20:28.519
 went

00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:29.460
 beyond

00:20:29.460 --> 00:20:29.680
 that

00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:30.079
 man's

00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:30.400
 surface

00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:30.880
 need

00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:31.120
 to

00:20:31.120 --> 00:20:31.319
 his

00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:33.059
 addressed

00:20:33.059 --> 00:20:33.299
 the

00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:33.720
 of

 every

00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:34.539
 person

00:20:34.539 --> 00:20:34.819
 in

00:20:34.819 --> 00:20:35.059
 that

00:20:35.059 --> 00:20:35.399
 room

00:20:35.399 --> 00:20:38.000
 it's

00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:38.480
 possible

00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:38.819
 that

00:20:38.819 --> 00:20:39.159
 that

00:20:39.159 --> 00:20:40.519
 paralytic

00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:40.700
 could

00:20:40.700 --> 00:20:40.779
 have

00:20:40.779 --> 00:20:40.879
 been

00:20:40.879 --> 00:20:41.059
 a

 notorious

00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:41.940
 sinner

00:20:41.940 --> 00:20:43.240
 it's

00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:43.740
 unlikely

00:20:43.740 --> 00:20:44.579
 to be

00:20:44.579 --> 00:20:45.159
 notorious

00:20:45.159 --> 00:20:46.279
 because

00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:46.819
 his

00:20:46.819 --> 00:20:47.379
 condition

00:20:47.379 --> 00:20:47.940
 mitigated

00:20:47.940 --> 00:20:48.319
 against

00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:48.740
 doing

00:20:48.740 --> 00:20:49.460
 what are

00:20:49.460 --> 00:20:49.859
 considered

00:20:49.859 --> 00:20:50.259
 to be

00:20:50.259 --> 00:20:50.420
 the

00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:55.940
 or murder

00:20:55.940 --> 00:20:57.639
 they're

00:20:57.639 --> 00:20:58.159
 beyond

00:20:58.159 --> 00:20:58.619
 him

00:20:58.619 --> 00:21:00.960
 he

00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:01.139
 couldn't

00:21:01.779 --> 00:21:02.220
 stuff

00:21:02.220 --> 00:21:03.819
 but

00:21:03.819 --> 00:21:04.079
 Jesus

00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:04.400
 point

00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:04.539
 is

00:21:04.539 --> 00:21:04.880
 clear

00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:05.279
 sin

00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:05.480
 is

00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:05.819
 not

00:21:05.819 --> 00:21:06.160
 just

00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:06.500
 about

00:21:06.500 --> 00:21:06.660
 our

00:21:06.660 --> 00:21:07.120
 actions

00:21:07.120 --> 00:21:07.360
 it's

00:21:07.360 --> 00:21:07.500
 about

00:21:07.500 --> 00:21:07.680
 our

00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:08.000
 hearts

00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:08.220
 and

00:21:08.220 --> 00:21:08.339
 the

00:21:08.339 --> 00:21:08.600
 fact

00:21:08.600 --> 00:21:08.900
 is

00:21:08.900 --> 00:21:09.319
 he

00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:09.700
 may

00:21:09.700 --> 00:21:09.880
 have

00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:10.059
 been

00:21:10.059 --> 00:21:10.259
 the

00:21:10.259 --> 00:21:10.559
 biggest

00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:10.860
 sinner

00:21:10.860 --> 00:21:11.059

 Capernaum

00:21:11.500 --> 00:21:12.339
 because

00:21:12.339 --> 00:21:12.460
 he

00:21:12.460 --> 00:21:12.700
 still

00:21:12.700 --> 00:21:12.940
 had

00:21:12.940 --> 00:21:13.420
 this

00:21:13.420 --> 00:21:20.140
 but

00:21:20.140 --> 00:21:20.339
 his

00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:21.279
 was

00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:21.680
 far

00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:22.360
 more

00:21:22.360 --> 00:21:23.019
 desperate

00:21:23.019 --> 00:21:23.519
 than

00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:23.759
 his

 physical

00:21:24.140 --> 00:21:24.519
 need

00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:24.799
 and

00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:24.920
 if

00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:25.039
 he

00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:25.259
 cured

00:21:25.259 --> 00:21:25.420
 the

00:21:25.420 --> 00:21:25.640
 man

00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:25.779
 of

00:21:25.779 --> 00:21:26.339
 paralysis

00:21:26.339 --> 00:21:27.779
 maybe

00:21:27.779 --> 00:21:28.319
 he's

00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:28.839
 midlife

00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:29.100
 he could

00:21:29.100 --> 00:21:29.339
 have had

00:21:29.339 --> 00:21:29.839
 20 or

00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:30.120
 30

00:21:30.120 --> 00:21:30.579
 years

00:21:30.579 --> 00:21:30.759
 of

00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:31.120
 health

00:21:31.120 --> 00:21:31.600
 alleviate

00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:32.459
 decades

00:21:32.459 --> 00:21:32.719
 of

00:21:32.719 --> 00:21:33.119
 misery

00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:34.919
 but

00:21:34.919 --> 00:21:36.279
 when

00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:36.819
 Jesus

00:21:36.819 --> 00:21:37.299
 forgave

00:21:37.299 --> 00:21:37.480
 the

00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:37.859
 man's

00:21:37.859 --> 00:21:38.079
 sins

00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:38.259
 he

00:21:38.259 --> 00:21:38.599
 delivered

00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:38.799
 him

00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:39.079
 not

00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:39.339
 only

00:21:39.339 --> 00:21:39.579
 from

00:21:39.579 --> 00:21:39.819
 his

00:21:39.819 --> 00:21:40.219
 sins

00:21:40.219 --> 00:21:40.459
 but

00:21:40.459 --> 00:21:40.599
 in

00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:41.159
 eternity

00:21:41.159 --> 00:21:41.519
 apart

00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:41.759
 from

00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:42.039
 God

00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:42.480
 from

00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:42.919
 hell

00:21:42.919 --> 00:21:43.879
 itself

00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:44.000
!

00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:51.780
 it

00:21:51.780 --> 00:21:51.900
 would

00:21:51.900 --> 00:21:52.000
 be

00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:52.100
 a

00:21:52.100 --> 00:21:52.340
 beautiful

00:21:52.340 --> 00:21:52.840
 thing

00:21:52.840 --> 00:21:53.740
 if

00:21:53.740 --> 00:21:53.820
 you

00:21:53.820 --> 00:21:54.100
 never

00:21:54.100 --> 00:21:54.620
 considered

00:21:54.620 --> 00:21:55.200
 this

00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:56.940
 maybe

00:21:56.940 --> 00:21:57.480
 even

00:21:57.480 --> 00:21:57.660
 if

00:21:57.660 --> 00:21:57.760
 you

00:21:57.760 --> 00:21:58.140
 know

00:21:58.140 --> 00:22:00.120
 the

00:22:00.120 --> 00:22:00.640
 story

00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:02.060
 to

00:22:02.060 --> 00:22:02.720
 understand

00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:05.000
 that

00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:05.220
 what

00:22:05.220 --> 00:22:05.600
 Jesus

00:22:05.600 --> 00:22:06.520
 says

00:22:06.520 --> 00:22:08.200
 is

00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:08.420
 your

 greatest

00:22:08.800 --> 00:22:09.380
 need

00:22:09.380 --> 00:22:10.120
 is

00:22:10.120 --> 00:22:10.540
 not

00:22:10.539 --> 00:22:11.700
 an

00:22:11.700 --> 00:22:12.359
 education

00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:14.500
 or

00:22:14.500 --> 00:22:14.680
 a

 spouse

 your

00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:16.859
 health

00:22:16.859 --> 00:22:18.159
 it

00:22:18.159 --> 00:22:18.420
 is

00:22:18.420 --> 00:22:18.740
 the

00:22:18.740 --> 00:22:19.139
 forgiveness

00:22:19.139 --> 00:22:20.200
 of

00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:20.519
 your

00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:21.059
 sins

00:22:21.059 --> 00:22:22.720
 that

00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:23.000
 is

00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:23.159
 the

00:22:26.180 --> 00:22:29.220
 now

00:22:29.220 --> 00:22:29.460
 that's

00:22:29.460 --> 00:22:29.859
 shocking

00:22:29.859 --> 00:22:31.119
 what

00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:31.399
 Jesus

00:22:31.399 --> 00:22:31.799
 did

00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:33.039
 but

00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:33.339
 Jesus

00:22:33.339 --> 00:22:33.799
 further

00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:34.279
 shocks

00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:34.559
 here

00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:35.079
 for a

00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:37.579
 it

00:22:37.579 --> 00:22:37.819
 is

00:22:37.819 --> 00:22:38.200
 it's

00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:38.379
 what

00:22:38.379 --> 00:22:38.519
 he

00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:38.759
 says

00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:39.000
 about

 himself

00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:44.379
 tells

00:22:44.379 --> 00:22:44.599
 us

00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:44.740
 in

 this

00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:51.079
 that

00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:52.059
 he's

00:22:52.059 --> 00:22:52.940
 blaspheming

00:22:52.940 --> 00:22:54.400
 who

00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:54.579
 can

00:22:54.579 --> 00:22:54.839
 forgive

00:22:54.839 --> 00:22:55.200
 sins

00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:55.359
 but

00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:55.579
 God

00:22:55.579 --> 00:22:56.039
 alone

00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:57.460
 you

00:22:57.460 --> 00:22:57.660
 see

00:22:57.660 --> 00:22:57.900
 the

00:22:57.900 --> 00:22:58.299
 scribes

00:22:58.299 --> 00:22:58.480
 knew

00:22:58.480 --> 00:22:58.700
 their

00:22:58.700 --> 00:22:59.140
 Bibles

00:22:59.140 --> 00:22:59.339
 they

00:22:59.339 --> 00:22:59.500
 were

00:22:59.500 --> 00:23:00.079
 horrified

00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:00.440
 because

00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:00.779
 he

00:23:00.779 --> 00:23:00.980
 was

00:23:00.980 --> 00:23:01.359
 making

00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:01.720
 the

00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:02.259
 appalling

00:23:02.259 --> 00:23:02.859
 claim

00:23:02.859 --> 00:23:03.460
 that

00:23:03.460 --> 00:23:03.680
 he's

00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:04.339
 God

00:23:04.339 --> 00:23:06.720
 according

00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:06.920
 to

00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:07.299
 Bible

00:23:07.299 --> 00:23:08.480
 and

00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:08.620
 they

00:23:08.620 --> 00:23:08.720
 knew

00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:08.900
 their

00:23:08.900 --> 00:23:09.360
 Bibles

00:23:09.360 --> 00:23:09.940
 sin

00:23:09.940 --> 00:23:10.120
 is

00:23:10.120 --> 00:23:10.660
 essentially

00:23:10.660 --> 00:23:10.940
 and

00:23:10.940 --> 00:23:11.400
 ultimately

00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:11.880
 against

00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:12.299
 God

00:23:12.299 --> 00:23:14.360
 we

00:23:14.360 --> 00:23:14.519
 see

00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:14.720
 this

00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:15.220
 clearly

00:23:15.220 --> 00:23:15.720
 in the

00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:15.960
 life

00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:16.099
 of

00:23:16.099 --> 00:23:16.299
 King

00:23:16.299 --> 00:23:16.660
 David

00:23:16.660 --> 00:23:16.880
 who

00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:17.339
 understood

00:23:17.339 --> 00:23:17.880
 this

00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:19.140
 when

00:23:19.140 --> 00:23:19.960
 after

00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:20.519
 sinning

00:23:20.519 --> 00:23:21.440
 with

00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:22.140
 Bathsheba

00:23:22.140 --> 00:23:22.360
 in

00:23:22.360 --> 00:23:22.960
 adultery

00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:24.200
 and

00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:24.680
 Uriah

00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:24.799
 in

00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:25.279
 homicide

00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:27.380
 he

00:23:27.380 --> 00:23:27.740
 cried

00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:28.079
 out to

00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:28.460
 God

00:23:28.460 --> 00:23:29.360
 in

00:23:29.360 --> 00:23:30.120
 repentance

00:23:30.120 --> 00:23:32.900
 I

00:23:32.900 --> 00:23:33.160
 know

00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:33.480
 my

00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:34.640
 transgressions

00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:35.860
 and

00:23:35.860 --> 00:23:36.020
 my

00:23:36.020 --> 00:23:36.340
 sin

00:23:36.340 --> 00:23:36.520
 is

00:23:36.520 --> 00:23:36.840
 ever

00:23:36.840 --> 00:23:37.259
 before

00:23:37.259 --> 00:23:37.700
 me

00:23:37.700 --> 00:23:38.480
 against

00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:39.140
 you

00:23:39.140 --> 00:23:39.640
 only

00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:40.500
 have

00:23:40.500 --> 00:23:40.660
 I

00:23:40.660 --> 00:23:40.980
 sinned

00:23:40.980 --> 00:23:41.100
 and

00:23:41.100 --> 00:23:41.380
 done

00:23:41.380 --> 00:23:42.060
 this

00:23:42.060 --> 00:23:42.900
 evil

00:23:42.900 --> 00:23:43.480
 in

00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:43.960
 your

00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:44.480
 sight

00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:46.520
 all

00:23:46.520 --> 00:23:46.980
 sins

00:23:46.980 --> 00:23:47.560
 whether

00:23:47.560 --> 00:23:48.000
 against

00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:48.780
 others

00:23:48.780 --> 00:23:50.160
 anything

00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:50.680
 else

00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:51.160
 are

00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:51.600
 ultimately

00:23:51.600 --> 00:23:51.980
 against

00:23:51.980 --> 00:23:52.160
 the

00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:52.380
 holy

00:23:52.380 --> 00:23:52.780
 God

00:23:52.780 --> 00:23:53.460
 who

00:23:53.460 --> 00:23:53.800
 alone

00:23:53.800 --> 00:23:54.040
 can

00:23:54.040 --> 00:23:54.380
 forgive

00:23:54.380 --> 00:23:54.740
 sin

00:23:54.740 --> 00:23:54.980
 so

00:23:54.980 --> 00:23:55.200
 when

00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:55.320
 they

00:23:55.320 --> 00:23:55.520
 heard

00:23:55.520 --> 00:23:55.800
 this

00:23:55.800 --> 00:23:56.540
 they

00:23:56.540 --> 00:23:56.759
 knew

00:23:56.759 --> 00:23:56.940
 that

00:23:56.940 --> 00:23:57.080
 he

00:23:57.080 --> 00:23:57.280
 was

00:23:57.280 --> 00:23:57.600
 claiming

00:23:57.600 --> 00:23:57.820
 to

00:23:57.820 --> 00:23:58.080
 be

00:23:58.080 --> 00:23:58.460
 God

00:23:58.460 --> 00:23:59.080
 incarnate

00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:00.839
 there

00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:00.980
 was

00:24:00.980 --> 00:24:01.119
 no

00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:01.359
 doubt

00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:01.720
 about

00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:02.099
 it

00:24:02.099 --> 00:24:03.740
 and

00:24:03.740 --> 00:24:03.919
 that

00:24:03.919 --> 00:24:04.359
 deserved

00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:04.919
 death

00:24:04.919 --> 00:24:07.419
 and

00:24:07.419 --> 00:24:07.720
 of course

00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:08.039
 from the

00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:08.339
 shock

00:24:08.339 --> 00:24:08.699
 on their

00:24:08.699 --> 00:24:09.240
 faces

00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:09.740
 and

00:24:09.740 --> 00:24:10.019
 the

00:24:10.019 --> 00:24:10.539
 disgust

00:24:10.539 --> 00:24:10.859
 on their

00:24:10.859 --> 00:24:11.179
 faces

00:24:11.179 --> 00:24:11.419
 he

00:24:11.419 --> 00:24:11.599
 knew

00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:12.199
 exactly

00:24:12.199 --> 00:24:12.460
 what

00:24:12.460 --> 00:24:12.619
 was

00:24:12.619 --> 00:24:12.859
 going

00:24:12.859 --> 00:24:13.039
 on

00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:13.139
 in

00:24:13.139 --> 00:24:13.259
 their

00:24:13.259 --> 00:24:13.639
 minds

00:24:13.639 --> 00:24:14.299
 and

00:24:14.299 --> 00:24:14.439
 so

00:24:14.439 --> 00:24:14.579
 you

00:24:14.579 --> 00:24:14.839
 read

00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:14.960
 in

00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:15.199
 verses

00:24:15.199 --> 00:24:15.460
 8

00:24:15.460 --> 00:24:15.579
 and

00:24:15.579 --> 00:24:15.960
 9

00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:16.639
 and

00:24:16.639 --> 00:24:17.059
 immediately

00:24:17.059 --> 00:24:17.679
 Jesus

00:24:17.679 --> 00:24:18.379
 perceiving

00:24:18.379 --> 00:24:18.759
 in his

00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:19.039
 spirit

00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:19.359
 that they

00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:19.619
 thus

00:24:19.619 --> 00:24:20.039
 questioned

00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:20.279
 within

00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:20.759
 themselves

00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:21.039
 said

00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:21.159
 to

00:24:21.159 --> 00:24:21.359
 them

00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:22.720
 why

00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:22.819
 do

00:24:22.819 --> 00:24:22.919
 you

00:24:22.919 --> 00:24:23.240
 question

00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:23.439
 these

00:24:23.439 --> 00:24:23.559
 things

00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:23.679
 in

00:24:23.679 --> 00:24:23.819
 your

00:24:23.819 --> 00:24:24.359
 hearts

00:24:24.359 --> 00:24:26.639
 which

00:24:26.639 --> 00:24:26.819
 is

00:24:26.819 --> 00:24:27.359
 easier

00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:28.639
 to

00:24:28.639 --> 00:24:28.839
 say

00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:29.019
 the

00:24:29.019 --> 00:24:29.519
 paralytic

00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:29.740
 your

00:24:29.740 --> 00:24:30.019
 sins

00:24:30.019 --> 00:24:30.179
 are

00:24:30.179 --> 00:24:30.599
 forgiven

00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:32.000
 or

00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:32.159
 to

00:24:32.159 --> 00:24:32.399
 say

00:24:32.399 --> 00:24:33.059
 rise

00:24:33.059 --> 00:24:33.679
 take

00:24:33.679 --> 00:24:33.859
 up

00:24:33.859 --> 00:24:34.000
 your

00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:34.240
 bed

00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:34.399
 and

00:24:34.399 --> 00:24:34.759
 walk

00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:36.379
 so

00:24:36.379 --> 00:24:36.639
 which

00:24:36.639 --> 00:24:36.879
 is

00:24:36.879 --> 00:24:37.319
 easier

00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:39.379
 well

00:24:39.379 --> 00:24:39.519
 I

00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:39.759
 think

00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:41.059
 from

 ground

00:24:42.059 --> 00:24:43.019
 I

00:24:43.019 --> 00:24:43.220
 think

00:24:43.220 --> 00:24:43.319
 it

00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:43.459
 would

00:24:43.459 --> 00:24:43.699
 be

00:24:43.699 --> 00:24:44.119
 much

00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:44.619
 easier

00:24:44.619 --> 00:24:44.859
 to

00:24:44.859 --> 00:24:45.279
 say

00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:47.879
 your

00:24:47.879 --> 00:24:48.179
 sins

00:24:48.179 --> 00:24:48.359
 are

00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:48.779
 forgiven

00:24:48.779 --> 00:24:50.619
 than

00:24:50.619 --> 00:24:50.799
 to

00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:51.139
 say

00:24:51.139 --> 00:24:51.879
 rise

00:24:51.879 --> 00:24:52.159
 take

00:24:52.159 --> 00:24:52.299
 up

00:24:52.299 --> 00:24:52.419
 your

00:24:52.419 --> 00:24:52.599
 bed

00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:52.740
 and

00:24:52.740 --> 00:24:53.059
 walk

00:24:53.059 --> 00:24:53.319
 from

 I

00:24:54.639 --> 00:24:54.799
 mean

00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:55.039
 there

00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:05.399
 and

00:27:05.399 --> 00:27:05.939
 strode

00:27:05.939 --> 00:27:06.819
 joyfully

00:27:06.819 --> 00:27:07.159
 through

00:27:07.159 --> 00:27:07.379
 the

00:27:07.379 --> 00:27:07.779
 parting

00:27:07.779 --> 00:27:08.379
 throng

00:27:08.379 --> 00:27:09.000
 that

00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:09.339
 once

00:27:09.339 --> 00:27:09.700
 blocked

00:27:09.700 --> 00:27:09.920
 his

00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:10.160
 way

00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:10.380
 out

00:27:10.380 --> 00:27:10.519
 into

00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:10.680
 the

00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:11.140
 sunlight

00:27:11.140 --> 00:27:12.079
 where

00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:12.319
 his

00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:12.680
 four

00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:13.180
 faithful

00:27:13.180 --> 00:27:13.599
 friends

00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:13.960
 joined

00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:14.259
 him

00:27:14.259 --> 00:27:15.819
 now

00:27:15.819 --> 00:27:16.059
 I

00:27:16.059 --> 00:27:16.519
 think

00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:16.680
 they

00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:16.819
 were

00:27:16.819 --> 00:27:17.720
 likely

00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:19.180
 leaping

00:27:19.180 --> 00:27:19.380
 and

00:27:19.380 --> 00:27:19.680
 hooping

00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:19.859
 it

00:27:19.859 --> 00:27:20.140
 up

00:27:20.140 --> 00:27:20.339
 I

00:27:20.339 --> 00:27:20.640
 mean

00:27:20.640 --> 00:27:23.279
 these

00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:23.460
 are

00:27:23.460 --> 00:27:24.140
 Hebrews

00:27:24.140 --> 00:27:26.660
 they

00:27:26.660 --> 00:27:26.799
 know

00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:26.940
 how

00:27:26.940 --> 00:27:27.160
 to

00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:28.339
 rejoice

00:27:28.339 --> 00:27:30.059
 now

00:27:30.059 --> 00:27:30.259
 listen

00:27:30.259 --> 00:27:30.519
 very

00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:30.980
 closely

00:27:30.980 --> 00:27:31.940
 for

00:27:31.940 --> 00:27:32.339
 Jesus

00:27:32.339 --> 00:27:32.759
 it

00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:33.000
 was

00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:33.200
 an

00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:33.579
 easy

00:27:33.579 --> 00:27:33.960
 thing

00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:34.140
 to

00:27:34.140 --> 00:27:34.440
 say

00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:35.140
 take

00:27:35.140 --> 00:27:35.299
 up

00:27:35.299 --> 00:27:35.420
 your

00:27:35.420 --> 00:27:35.599
 bed

00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:35.700
 and

00:27:35.700 --> 00:27:35.960
 walk

00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:36.339
 that's

00:27:36.339 --> 00:27:36.680
 nothing

00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:39.299
 just

00:27:39.299 --> 00:27:39.500
 a

00:27:39.500 --> 00:27:39.779
 thought

00:27:39.779 --> 00:27:41.960
 just

00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:42.440
 a

00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:43.380
 mental

00:27:43.380 --> 00:27:45.120
 emanation

00:27:45.120 --> 00:27:45.360
 from

00:27:45.360 --> 00:27:45.720
 Jesus

00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:46.420
 and

00:27:46.420 --> 00:27:46.600
 it's

00:27:46.600 --> 00:27:46.960
 done

00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:48.080
 and

00:27:48.080 --> 00:27:48.200
 the

00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:48.539
 power

00:27:48.539 --> 00:27:49.039
 goes out

00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:49.200
 to

00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:49.420
 heal

00:27:49.420 --> 00:27:50.060
 him

00:27:50.060 --> 00:27:50.380
 without

00:27:50.380 --> 00:27:50.920
 any

00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:51.740
 diminution

00:27:51.740 --> 00:27:52.340
 of

00:27:52.340 --> 00:27:52.539
 his

00:27:52.539 --> 00:27:53.019
 power

00:27:53.019 --> 00:27:55.759
 his

00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:56.600
 infinitude

00:27:56.600 --> 00:27:56.620
!

00:27:56.620 --> 00:27:57.500
 remains

00:27:57.500 --> 00:27:58.019
 infinite

00:27:58.019 --> 00:27:58.480
 it's

00:27:58.480 --> 00:27:59.080
 nothing

00:27:59.080 --> 00:28:00.039
 for

00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:00.380
 Jesus

00:28:00.380 --> 00:28:00.640
 to

00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:00.820
 do

00:28:00.820 --> 00:28:01.240
 that

00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:04.920
 it

00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:05.319
 was

00:28:05.319 --> 00:28:06.259
 easy

00:28:06.259 --> 00:28:08.059
 but

00:28:08.059 --> 00:28:09.420
 the

00:28:09.420 --> 00:28:09.839
 hardest

00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:10.160
 thing

00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:10.299
 of

00:28:10.299 --> 00:28:10.559
 all

00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:10.759
 was

00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:10.900
 to

00:28:10.900 --> 00:28:11.240
 say

00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:11.900
 my

00:28:11.900 --> 00:28:12.339
 son

00:28:12.339 --> 00:28:12.920
 your

00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:13.259
 sins

00:28:13.259 --> 00:28:13.420
 are

00:28:13.420 --> 00:28:13.779
 forgiven

00:28:13.779 --> 00:28:14.819
 because

00:28:14.819 --> 00:28:15.440
 that

00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:15.900
 meant

00:28:15.900 --> 00:28:16.319
 his

00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:16.700
 death

00:28:16.700 --> 00:28:16.980
 on

00:28:16.980 --> 00:28:17.120
 the

00:28:17.120 --> 00:28:17.559
 cross

00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:19.859
 in

00:28:19.859 --> 00:28:20.000
 the

00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:20.380
 garden

00:28:20.380 --> 00:28:21.599
 and

00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:21.759
 this

00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:21.900
 is

00:28:21.900 --> 00:28:22.079
 just

00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:22.240
 the

00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:22.720
 14th

00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:23.039
 chapter

00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:23.240
 of

00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:23.460
 Mark

00:28:23.460 --> 00:28:23.640
 it's

00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:23.799
 just

00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:23.960
 a

00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:24.240
 few

00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:25.019
 chapters

00:28:25.019 --> 00:28:25.819
 following

00:28:25.819 --> 00:28:26.980
 the

00:28:26.980 --> 00:28:27.440
 prospect

00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:27.740
 is

00:28:27.740 --> 00:28:28.059
 so

00:28:28.059 --> 00:28:29.299
 horrific

00:28:29.299 --> 00:28:30.279
 that it

00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:30.839
 tells us

00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:31.000
 in

00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:31.259
 verses

00:28:31.259 --> 00:28:31.980
 33

00:28:31.980 --> 00:28:32.279
 through

00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:32.919
 36

00:28:32.919 --> 00:28:33.119
 of

00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:33.319
 Mark

00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:33.899
 14

00:28:33.899 --> 00:28:35.220
 and

00:28:35.220 --> 00:28:35.319
 he

00:28:35.319 --> 00:28:35.559
 began

00:28:35.559 --> 00:28:35.720
 to

00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:35.839
 be

00:28:35.839 --> 00:28:36.220
 greatly

00:28:36.220 --> 00:28:36.839
 distressed

00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:37.079
 and

00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:37.460
 troubled

00:28:37.460 --> 00:28:39.240
 and

00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:39.319
 he

00:28:39.319 --> 00:28:39.539
 said

00:28:39.539 --> 00:28:39.659
 to

00:28:39.659 --> 00:28:39.859
 them

00:28:39.859 --> 00:28:40.460
 my

00:28:40.460 --> 00:28:41.099
 soul

00:28:41.099 --> 00:28:41.480
 is

00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:41.899
 very

00:28:41.899 --> 00:28:42.700
 sorrowful

00:28:42.700 --> 00:28:43.079
 even

00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:43.299
 to

00:28:43.299 --> 00:28:43.759
 death

00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:45.099
 remain

00:28:45.099 --> 00:28:45.480
 here

00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:45.639
 and

00:28:45.639 --> 00:28:46.099
 watch

00:28:46.099 --> 00:28:48.159
 going

00:28:48.159 --> 00:28:48.379
 a little

00:28:48.379 --> 00:28:48.759
 farther

00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:49.079
 he

00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:49.440
 fell

00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:49.940
 on

00:28:49.940 --> 00:28:50.139
 the

00:28:50.139 --> 00:28:50.779
 ground

00:28:50.779 --> 00:28:51.000
 and

00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:51.359
 prayed

00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:51.599
 that

00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:51.740
 if

00:28:51.740 --> 00:28:51.859
 it

00:28:51.859 --> 00:28:51.980
 were

00:28:51.980 --> 00:28:52.619
 possible

00:28:52.619 --> 00:28:53.819
 the

00:28:53.819 --> 00:28:54.099
 hour

00:28:54.099 --> 00:28:54.419
 might

00:28:54.419 --> 00:28:54.779
 pass

00:28:54.779 --> 00:28:55.059
 from

00:28:55.059 --> 00:28:55.359
 him

00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:56.440
 and

00:28:56.440 --> 00:28:56.579
 he

00:28:56.579 --> 00:28:56.960
 said

00:28:56.960 --> 00:28:58.700
 Abba

00:28:58.700 --> 00:28:59.220
 Father

00:28:59.220 --> 00:29:00.200
 all

00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:00.600
 things

00:29:00.600 --> 00:29:00.779
 are

00:29:00.779 --> 00:29:01.299
 possible

00:29:01.299 --> 00:29:01.600
 for

00:29:01.600 --> 00:29:01.839
 you

00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:02.480
 remove

00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:03.319
 this

00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:03.779
 cup

00:29:03.779 --> 00:29:04.160
 from

00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:04.539
 me

00:29:04.539 --> 00:29:06.240
 yet

00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:06.460
 not

00:29:06.460 --> 00:29:06.660
 what

00:29:06.660 --> 00:29:06.880
 I

00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:07.200
 will

00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:08.140
 but

00:29:08.140 --> 00:29:08.339
 what

00:29:08.339 --> 00:29:08.519
 you

00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:08.860
 will

00:29:08.860 --> 00:29:10.880
 and

00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:10.980
 when

00:29:10.980 --> 00:29:11.100
 the

00:29:11.100 --> 00:29:11.339
 hour

00:29:11.339 --> 00:29:11.799
 came

00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:12.400
 he

00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:12.600
 did

00:29:12.600 --> 00:29:12.720
 it

00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:12.900
 by

00:29:12.900 --> 00:29:13.200
 dying

00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:13.400
 the

00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:13.759
 lowest

00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:14.120
 death

00:29:14.120 --> 00:29:14.299
 of

00:29:14.299 --> 00:29:14.559
 all

00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:15.299
 even

00:29:15.299 --> 00:29:15.640
 death

00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:15.759
 on

00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:15.880
 a

00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:16.279
 cross

 that's

00:29:35.660 --> 00:29:35.980
 God

 having

00:30:48.579 --> 00:30:51.199
 writhing

 children's

00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:38.379
 story

00:31:38.379 --> 00:31:38.680
 as we

00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:38.920
 think

00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:39.119
 of

00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:39.660
 becomes

00:31:39.660 --> 00:31:40.299
 very

00:31:40.299 --> 00:31:40.879
 intense

00:31:40.879 --> 00:31:41.480
 at this

00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:41.799
 point

00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:43.759
 and

00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:43.900
 his

00:31:43.900 --> 00:31:44.220
 death

00:31:44.220 --> 00:31:44.539
 means

00:31:44.539 --> 00:31:44.799
 he's

00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:45.160
 committed

00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:45.400
 to

00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:45.740
 forgiving

00:31:45.740 --> 00:31:46.079
 you

00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:46.379
 as you

00:31:46.379 --> 00:31:46.599
 turn

00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:46.759
 to

00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:47.139
 him

00:31:47.139 --> 00:31:53.240
 us

00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:53.700
 preachers

00:31:53.700 --> 00:31:54.200
 always

00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:54.680
 can find

00:31:54.680 --> 00:31:55.019
 something

00:31:55.019 --> 00:31:55.440
 to quote

00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:55.639
 from

00:31:55.639 --> 00:31:56.119
 Spurgeon

00:31:56.119 --> 00:31:58.099
 and

00:31:58.099 --> 00:31:58.519
 if you

00:31:58.519 --> 00:31:58.859
 want a

00:31:58.859 --> 00:31:59.319
 cosmic

00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:00.240
 imagination

00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:00.740
 here it

00:32:00.740 --> 00:32:01.200
 is

00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:02.619
 Spurgeon

00:32:02.619 --> 00:32:03.000
 wrote

00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:03.519
 about the

00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:03.859
 man

00:32:03.859 --> 00:32:04.359
 being

00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:04.559
 healed

00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:04.899
 he said

00:32:04.899 --> 00:32:05.359
 I

00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:05.659
 think

00:32:05.659 --> 00:32:06.019
 I

00:32:06.019 --> 00:32:06.359
 see

00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:06.740
 him

00:32:06.740 --> 00:32:07.720
 he

00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:08.019
 sets

00:32:08.019 --> 00:32:09.000
 one

00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:09.299
 foot

00:32:09.299 --> 00:32:09.679
 down

00:32:09.679 --> 00:32:09.899
 to

00:32:09.899 --> 00:32:10.319
 God's

00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:10.700
 glory

00:32:10.700 --> 00:32:11.179
 he

00:32:11.179 --> 00:32:11.539
 plants

00:32:11.539 --> 00:32:11.740
 the

00:32:11.740 --> 00:32:12.059
 other

00:32:12.059 --> 00:32:12.220

00:32:12.220 --> 00:32:12.359
 the

00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:12.619
 same

00:32:12.619 --> 00:32:12.980
 note

00:32:12.980 --> 00:32:13.440
 he

00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:13.919
 walks

00:32:13.919 --> 00:32:14.119
 to

00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:14.539
 God's

00:32:14.539 --> 00:32:14.819
 glory

00:32:14.819 --> 00:32:15.039
 he

00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:15.339
 carries

00:32:15.339 --> 00:32:15.559
 his

00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:15.839
 bed

00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:16.019
 to

00:32:16.019 --> 00:32:16.379
 God's

00:32:16.379 --> 00:32:16.639
 glory

00:32:16.639 --> 00:32:17.019
 he

00:32:17.019 --> 00:32:17.240
 moves

00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:17.379
 his

00:32:17.379 --> 00:32:17.599
 whole

00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:17.980
 body

00:32:17.980 --> 00:32:18.179
 to

00:32:18.179 --> 00:32:18.500
 God's

00:32:18.500 --> 00:32:18.759
 glory

00:32:18.759 --> 00:32:19.159
 he

00:32:19.159 --> 00:32:19.659
 speaks

00:32:19.659 --> 00:32:20.039
 he

00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:20.539
 shouts

00:32:20.539 --> 00:32:20.899
 he

00:32:20.899 --> 00:32:21.339
 sings

00:32:21.339 --> 00:32:22.299
 he

00:32:22.299 --> 00:32:22.700
 leaps

00:32:22.700 --> 00:32:22.879
 to

00:32:22.879 --> 00:32:22.980
 the

00:32:22.980 --> 00:32:23.240
 glory

00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:23.399
 of

00:32:23.399 --> 00:32:23.759
 God

00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:26.720
 he

00:32:26.720 --> 00:32:26.960
 probably

00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:27.119
 had

00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:27.259
 it

00:32:27.259 --> 00:32:27.539
 right

00:32:27.539 --> 00:32:29.240
 what

00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:29.460
 a

00:32:29.460 --> 00:32:30.359
 display

00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:30.700
 before

00:32:30.700 --> 00:32:30.859
 the

00:32:30.859 --> 00:32:31.179
 wandering

00:32:31.179 --> 00:32:31.799
!

00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:31.859
 crowd

00:32:31.859 --> 00:32:34.019
 who's

00:32:34.019 --> 00:32:34.019


00:32:34.019 --> 00:32:34.299
 to say

00:32:34.299 --> 00:32:34.539
 the

00:32:34.539 --> 00:32:34.960
 paralytic

00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:35.079
 and

00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:35.299
 four

00:32:35.299 --> 00:32:35.680
 friends

00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:36.680
 kind

00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:36.859
 of

00:32:36.859 --> 00:32:37.660
 moved

00:32:37.660 --> 00:32:37.819
 in

00:32:37.819 --> 00:32:38.119
 rhythm

00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:38.579
 as they

00:32:38.579 --> 00:32:39.339
 moved out

00:32:39.339 --> 00:32:39.879
 there towards

00:32:39.879 --> 00:32:40.400
 the house

00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:41.240
 I mean

00:32:41.240 --> 00:32:42.319
 they are

00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:42.779
 Hebrews

00:32:42.779 --> 00:32:43.519
 they're not

00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:44.440
 Bostonians

00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:46.980
 as he

00:32:46.980 --> 00:32:47.340
 went home

00:32:47.340 --> 00:32:47.640
 he bore

00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:48.000
 something

00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:48.539
 far more

00:32:48.539 --> 00:32:49.000
 impressive

00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:49.340
 than his

00:32:49.340 --> 00:32:49.640
 bed

00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:50.380
 and here

00:32:50.380 --> 00:32:50.860
 it is

00:32:50.860 --> 00:32:52.080
 and this

00:32:52.080 --> 00:32:52.380
 is what

00:32:52.380 --> 00:32:52.860
 it is

00:32:52.860 --> 00:32:54.180
 it was

00:32:54.180 --> 00:32:54.680
 a clean

00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:55.100
 heart

00:32:55.100 --> 00:32:56.680
 the greatest

00:32:56.680 --> 00:32:57.200
 miracle

00:32:57.200 --> 00:32:57.779
 of all

00:32:57.779 --> 00:32:59.400
 is that

00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:00.000
 there was

00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:01.180
 no guilt

00:33:01.180 --> 00:33:03.320
 none

00:33:03.320 --> 00:33:06.279
 none

00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:09.180
 his sins

00:33:09.180 --> 00:33:09.420
 had been

00:33:09.420 --> 00:33:09.820
 forgiven

00:33:09.820 --> 00:33:11.259
 no

00:33:11.259 --> 00:33:12.200
 guilt

00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:17.779
 no

00:33:17.779 --> 00:33:18.279
 bitterness

00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:21.220
 no

00:33:21.220 --> 00:33:21.880
 tension

00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:25.440
 that's

00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:25.580
 the

00:33:25.580 --> 00:33:26.059
 reality

00:33:26.059 --> 00:33:27.400
 complete

00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:28.180
 forgiveness

00:33:28.180 --> 00:33:29.019
 complete

00:33:29.019 --> 00:33:29.539
 removal

00:33:29.539 --> 00:33:30.200
 of guilt

00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:33.080
 forgiveness

00:33:33.080 --> 00:33:33.960
 freedom

00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:35.200
 perhaps he

00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:35.559
 felt like

00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:35.779
 he could

00:33:35.779 --> 00:33:36.220
 float

00:33:36.220 --> 00:33:38.880
 having that

00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:39.140
 burden

00:33:39.140 --> 00:33:39.460
 taken

00:33:39.460 --> 00:33:39.819
 away

00:33:39.819 --> 00:33:41.700
 now someday

00:33:41.700 --> 00:33:42.220
 those

00:33:42.220 --> 00:33:44.799
 restored

00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:45.099
 limbs

00:33:45.099 --> 00:33:45.319
 would

00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:45.740
 wither

00:33:45.740 --> 00:33:48.919
 at my

00:33:48.919 --> 00:33:49.259
 age I

00:33:49.259 --> 00:33:49.500
 know a

00:33:49.500 --> 00:33:49.779
 little bit

00:33:49.779 --> 00:33:50.359
 about that

00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:52.720
 but there

00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:53.259
 would remain

00:33:53.259 --> 00:33:53.679
 in him

00:33:53.679 --> 00:33:54.299
 a well

00:33:54.299 --> 00:33:54.980
 of water

00:33:54.980 --> 00:33:55.679
 springing up

00:33:55.679 --> 00:33:56.639
 into everlasting

00:33:56.639 --> 00:33:57.399
 life

00:33:57.399 --> 00:34:00.519
 I want to

00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:00.779
 say

00:34:00.779 --> 00:34:02.019
 and you

00:34:02.019 --> 00:34:02.480
 know this

00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:04.119
 the Lord

00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:04.460
 can do

00:34:04.460 --> 00:34:04.799
 anything

00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:05.399
 he wants

00:34:05.399 --> 00:34:07.099
 he can

00:34:07.099 --> 00:34:07.359
 heal

00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:08.059
 any

00:34:08.059 --> 00:34:08.759
 disease

00:34:08.759 --> 00:34:09.639
 he pleases

00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:12.179
 but the

00:34:12.179 --> 00:34:12.559
 greatest

00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:13.000
 miracle

00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:13.500
 the only

00:34:13.500 --> 00:34:13.759
 one

00:34:13.759 --> 00:34:14.219
 eternal

00:34:14.219 --> 00:34:14.559
 is that

00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:14.639
 he

00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:15.039
 forgives

00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:15.579
 sins

00:34:15.579 --> 00:34:18.000
 and has

00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:18.259
 he ever

00:34:18.259 --> 00:34:18.679
 said to

00:34:18.679 --> 00:34:19.000
 you

00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:20.779
 my son

00:34:20.779 --> 00:34:22.440
 my

00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:22.819
 daughter

00:34:22.819 --> 00:34:23.900
 your sins

00:34:23.900 --> 00:34:24.339
 are forgiven

00:34:24.339 --> 00:34:27.000
 I don't

00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:27.799
 mean an

00:34:27.799 --> 00:34:28.259
 audible

00:34:28.259 --> 00:34:28.940
 voice

00:34:28.940 --> 00:34:29.719
 I mean

00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:29.940
 has he

00:34:29.940 --> 00:34:30.500
 ever said

00:34:30.500 --> 00:34:30.819
 it to

00:34:30.819 --> 00:34:31.179
 you

00:34:31.179 --> 00:34:33.799
 so that

00:34:33.799 --> 00:34:34.179
 your inner

00:34:34.179 --> 00:34:34.879
 being

00:34:34.879 --> 00:34:36.519
 absorbs

00:34:36.519 --> 00:34:37.159
 it

00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:39.219
 has he

00:34:39.219 --> 00:34:39.639
 ever said

00:34:39.639 --> 00:34:40.099
 to you

00:34:40.099 --> 00:34:41.559
 my son

00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:42.079
 your sins

00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:42.639
 are forgiven

00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:45.359
 my daughter

00:34:45.359 --> 00:34:45.879
 your sins

00:34:45.879 --> 00:34:46.379
 are forgiven

00:34:46.379 --> 00:34:51.799
 well as

00:34:51.799 --> 00:34:52.199
 we noted

00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:52.799
 earlier

00:34:52.799 --> 00:34:56.199
 Luke tells

00:34:56.199 --> 00:34:56.460
 us

00:34:56.460 --> 00:34:56.980
 Dr. Luke

00:34:56.980 --> 00:34:57.500
 tells us

00:34:57.500 --> 00:34:57.940
 the power

00:34:57.940 --> 00:34:58.199
 of the

00:34:58.199 --> 00:34:58.440
 Lord

00:34:58.440 --> 00:34:58.920
 was with

00:34:58.920 --> 00:34:59.259
 him to

00:34:59.259 --> 00:34:59.539
 heal

00:34:59.539 --> 00:34:59.960
 so

00:34:59.960 --> 00:35:01.359
 that the

00:35:01.359 --> 00:35:01.859
 room

00:35:01.859 --> 00:35:03.000
 was full

00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:04.539
 of expectation

00:35:04.539 --> 00:35:05.239
 and it

00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:05.780
 happened

00:35:05.780 --> 00:35:07.000
 and I

00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:07.659
 really think

00:35:07.659 --> 00:35:08.079
 today

00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:08.780
 that's why

00:35:08.780 --> 00:35:09.559
 this is such

00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:10.280
 a famous

00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:11.139
 section of

00:35:11.139 --> 00:35:11.539
 scripture

00:35:11.539 --> 00:35:12.760
 whatever this

00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:13.360
 text is

00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:14.079
 preached and

00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:15.079
 opened up

00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:16.199
 I think if we

00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:16.699
 could see the

00:35:16.699 --> 00:35:17.699
 spiritual realities

00:35:17.699 --> 00:35:18.800
 we could see

00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:19.400
 that certain

00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:20.500
 of us

00:35:20.500 --> 00:35:21.400
 here and

00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:21.860
 there are

00:35:21.860 --> 00:35:22.840
 backlit

00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:24.320
 by a glow

00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:24.980
 of spirit's

00:35:24.980 --> 00:35:25.260
 fire

00:35:25.260 --> 00:35:26.159
 this imagination

00:35:26.159 --> 00:35:26.780
 don't get me

00:35:26.780 --> 00:35:27.119
 wrong

00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:29.659
 as a

00:35:29.659 --> 00:35:30.119
 graced

00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:30.779
 bolt of

00:35:30.779 --> 00:35:31.139
 lightning

00:35:31.139 --> 00:35:31.659
 is about

00:35:31.659 --> 00:35:32.159
 to strike

00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:32.579
 a soul

00:35:32.579 --> 00:35:33.079
 with healing

00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:33.420
 life

00:35:33.420 --> 00:35:33.619
 I mean

00:35:33.619 --> 00:35:33.779
 if you

00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:34.079
 could see

00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:34.339
 it

00:35:34.339 --> 00:35:35.579
 because

00:35:35.579 --> 00:35:36.940
 if you

00:35:36.940 --> 00:35:37.460
 hear those

00:35:37.460 --> 00:35:37.819
 words

00:35:37.819 --> 00:35:38.259
 if you

00:35:38.259 --> 00:35:38.619
 believe

00:35:38.619 --> 00:35:38.960
 that

00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:40.639
 and you

00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:40.960
 hear him

00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:41.299
 say to

00:35:41.299 --> 00:35:41.579
 you

00:35:41.579 --> 00:35:42.539
 my

00:35:42.539 --> 00:35:42.960
 daughter

00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:44.059
 my

00:35:44.059 --> 00:35:44.460
 son

00:35:44.460 --> 00:35:45.299
 your

00:35:45.299 --> 00:35:45.679
 sins

00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:46.099
 are

00:35:46.099 --> 00:35:46.500
 forgiven

00:35:46.500 --> 00:35:48.079
 if you've

00:35:48.079 --> 00:35:48.539
 never heard

00:35:48.539 --> 00:35:49.099
 it before

00:35:49.099 --> 00:35:50.559
 you've

00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:50.940
 just been

00:35:50.940 --> 00:35:51.219
 struck

00:35:51.219 --> 00:35:51.559
 by a

00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:51.719
 bolt

00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:51.880
 of

00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:52.239
 lightning

00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:56.679
 a miracle

00:35:56.679 --> 00:35:57.439
 is taking

00:35:57.439 --> 00:35:58.000
 place

00:35:58.000 --> 00:35:59.359
 our

00:35:59.359 --> 00:36:00.079
 greatest

00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:00.419
 need

00:36:00.419 --> 00:36:00.839
 today

00:36:00.839 --> 00:36:01.719
 is still

00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:02.199
 the same

00:36:02.199 --> 00:36:03.500
 we need

00:36:03.500 --> 00:36:03.919
 our sins

00:36:03.919 --> 00:36:04.359
 forgiven

00:36:04.359 --> 00:36:05.739
 and Jesus

00:36:05.739 --> 00:36:06.539
 Christ

00:36:06.539 --> 00:36:07.299
 has done

00:36:07.299 --> 00:36:07.919
 the hardest

00:36:07.919 --> 00:36:08.599
 thing ever

00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:09.079
 done

00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:10.079
 in time

00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:10.859
 and eternity

00:36:10.859 --> 00:36:11.579
 that ever

00:36:11.579 --> 00:36:12.439
 will be

00:36:12.439 --> 00:36:12.839
 done

00:36:12.839 --> 00:36:14.179
 to say

00:36:14.179 --> 00:36:14.859
 those words

00:36:14.859 --> 00:36:18.419
 it's what

00:36:18.419 --> 00:36:18.679
 you need

00:36:18.679 --> 00:36:19.239
 the most

00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:22.459
 and the

00:36:22.459 --> 00:36:23.139
 question is

00:36:23.139 --> 00:36:24.459
 for everyone

00:36:24.459 --> 00:36:24.859
 here

00:36:24.859 --> 00:36:25.859
 old and

00:36:25.859 --> 00:36:26.179
 young

00:36:26.179 --> 00:36:27.959
 do you

00:36:27.959 --> 00:36:28.579
 believe it

00:36:28.579 --> 00:36:30.799
 do you

00:36:30.799 --> 00:36:31.539
 believe it

00:36:31.539 --> 00:36:34.399
 let's pray
