00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:05.240
 Come Holy Ghost, our souls inspire and lighten with celestial fire.

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.560
 Father, we ask that you would pour out the Holy Spirit upon us

00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:10.519
 with might and power and deep conviction,

00:00:11.859 --> 00:00:16.500
 that we might, Father, know that Jesus is Savior and Lord,

00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:18.240
 that we might trust him more,

00:00:19.019 --> 00:00:23.620
 that we might be willing, Father, to be in your presence

00:00:23.620 --> 00:00:26.039
 and receive from you so that we can follow you

00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:28.800
 in ever greater depths of who we are.

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.660
 And in the full extent of our life.

00:00:33.140 --> 00:00:37.179
 And so, Father, only your Holy Spirit can help us to do these things.

00:00:37.299 --> 00:00:39.120
 And so we ask that the Holy Spirit would move.

00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:43.460
 And we ask this in the name of Jesus, your Son and our Savior. Amen.

00:00:44.500 --> 00:00:45.380
 Please be seated.

00:00:50.299 --> 00:00:52.540
 Last week I began talking about Mark's Gospel.

00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:54.859
 We're going to be looking at chapter 1, verses 14 to 20.

00:00:54.859 --> 00:00:59.219
 And I said that it's a very common thing for people to say

00:00:59.219 --> 00:01:01.100
 that the Bible is filled with contradictions.

00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.859
 And often this is...

00:01:05.420 --> 00:01:08.239
 People think this in particular when they look at the Gospels.

00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:11.840
 And I shared one particular way to look at it.

00:01:12.060 --> 00:01:15.120
 And I want to share a bit of a different way to look at it this morning.

00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:20.219
 Yesterday I was watching online a lecture that had been given about seven years ago

00:01:20.219 --> 00:01:22.459
 on C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.

00:01:23.260 --> 00:01:25.239
 And part of the lecture was to...

00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:28.019
 The person giving the lecture wanted to summarize

00:01:28.019 --> 00:01:31.640
 basically key themes in the life of...

00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:33.219
 In the writings of C.S. Lewis.

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:37.739
 And he wanted to summarize the key themes of the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien.

00:01:38.379 --> 00:01:40.939
 And then he was going to sort of compare and contrast them a little bit.

00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.079
 Now, one of the things about that particular lecture,

00:01:44.259 --> 00:01:45.259
 which he said,

00:01:45.260 --> 00:01:48.200
 was that there's lots of different ways to summarize

00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:50.760
 some of the themes in C.S. Lewis's writings.

00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:53.740
 And, you know, partly it would be whether you wanted to have seven themes

00:01:53.740 --> 00:01:56.080
 or nine themes or two themes or one theme.

00:01:56.540 --> 00:01:59.120
 But there's different sort of ways to put all the things together

00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:00.800
 if you're a communicator.

00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:03.219
 You're trying to communicate all the books,

00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:05.820
 all the things that C.S. Lewis wrote in his fiction,

00:02:06.140 --> 00:02:09.520
 especially in his fiction, but also in his other writings.

00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.140
 There'd be different ways to summarize them.

00:02:12.139 --> 00:02:17.279
 And I mention this because if you read the four different Gospels,

00:02:17.379 --> 00:02:20.219
 you'll see that there's different ways that Jesus...

00:02:20.219 --> 00:02:22.919
 That each of the writers try to have a time early on in the book

00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.759
 where they summarize or have Jesus summarize

00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:27.059
 how he's...

00:02:27.059 --> 00:02:28.779
 what it is that he's going to be saying

00:02:28.779 --> 00:02:30.099
 and what he is that he's going to be doing.

00:02:30.579 --> 00:02:32.359
 And they all look a little bit different.

00:02:33.259 --> 00:02:34.339
 But that doesn't really matter

00:02:34.339 --> 00:02:36.459
 because just as in this particular lecture

00:02:36.459 --> 00:02:38.899
 that three different C.S. Lewis scholars

00:02:38.899 --> 00:02:40.799
 could get up and summarize his writings

00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:43.160
 and sort of put them together in a bit of a different way

00:02:43.160 --> 00:02:44.800
 to help communicate it.

00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:49.260
 Like as long as one of the Gospels summaries

00:02:49.260 --> 00:02:51.320
 isn't God hates you

00:02:51.320 --> 00:02:53.120
 and another one is that God loves you,

00:02:53.160 --> 00:02:53.920
 well then that's fine.

00:02:54.200 --> 00:02:56.360
 That would be a big contradiction.

00:02:56.620 --> 00:02:57.660
 We'd really have to deal with it.

00:02:58.140 --> 00:03:00.800
 If one summary of Jesus' teaching was

00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:02.180
 you should eat as much as you want,

00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:03.420
 drink as much as you want

00:03:03.420 --> 00:03:04.740
 because tomorrow you're going to die

00:03:04.740 --> 00:03:05.760
 and your life is meaningless,

00:03:06.420 --> 00:03:08.200
 and another summary is completely different,

00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:09.280
 then that would be a problem.

00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.580
 But if one person wants to summarize it

00:03:11.580 --> 00:03:12.860
 with more a bit of a, you know,

00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.180
 very, very short or others a bit longer,

00:03:15.259 --> 00:03:16.280
 that's just...

00:03:16.979 --> 00:03:18.719
 I mean, it might very well have been

00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:20.979
 that many, many times throughout Jesus' ministry

00:03:20.979 --> 00:03:23.280
 he would try to summarize to his disciples

00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:26.280
 different ways for them to understand things.

00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.240
 For instance, in John's Gospel

00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.420
 it seems as if a lot of the summary

00:03:30.420 --> 00:03:33.240
 of Jesus' teaching is around the theme of light

00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.000
 and around the theme of life.

00:03:35.460 --> 00:03:37.340
 And if you go look throughout John's Gospel,

00:03:37.340 --> 00:03:38.599
 all that keeps coming up.

00:03:38.659 --> 00:03:39.599
 It's just sort of the way

00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:41.560
 that Jesus sometimes talked.

00:03:42.340 --> 00:03:44.219
 Today we're going to look at one of the ways

00:03:44.219 --> 00:03:47.020
 that Jesus summarizes his message,

00:03:47.379 --> 00:03:48.980
 or outlines his message.

00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.920
 So if you turn in your Bibles to Mark chapter 1,

00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:54.539
 first of all we'll look at the summary,

00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:57.480
 and then we'll look at sort of the first Jesus story,

00:03:58.120 --> 00:03:59.039
 where Jesus...

00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:00.080
 I guess we've already looked at one

00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:01.520
 with the baptism and the temptation,

00:04:01.699 --> 00:04:03.900
 but the story that comes immediately after it.

00:04:03.900 --> 00:04:05.460
 And here's how it goes.

00:04:05.539 --> 00:04:07.659
 We'll just read through it so it's familiar to you

00:04:07.659 --> 00:04:09.280
 before we try to unpack it a bit.

00:04:10.920 --> 00:04:12.879
 Now after this, John...

00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:13.480
 Verse 14.

00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:14.520
 Now after this...

00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:15.439
 After John was...

00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:17.139
 Now after John was arrested,

00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:19.560
 Jesus came into Galilee

00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:21.240
 proclaiming the Gospel of God.

00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:22.780
 And just sort of pause there for a second,

00:04:22.860 --> 00:04:24.480
 just so you sort of understand what's going on.

00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:27.280
 There's two primary Johns

00:04:27.280 --> 00:04:29.019
 that are mentioned in the New Testament.

00:04:30.019 --> 00:04:31.859
 And one of the things is that

00:04:31.859 --> 00:04:34.479
 in the Gospels often they'll just use

00:04:34.479 --> 00:04:35.959
 John, John, John, John, John,

00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:36.639
 all the way through.

00:04:36.799 --> 00:04:38.219
 And you need to know the context

00:04:38.219 --> 00:04:38.959
 to try to figure out

00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:40.379
 which one of the two it's talking about.

00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:42.240
 Because in fact we have one John

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:43.939
 and then later on we have a different John

00:04:43.939 --> 00:04:44.759
 it's talking about.

00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:46.620
 This John is John the Baptist,

00:04:46.799 --> 00:04:47.299
 who by the way,

00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:48.560
 I didn't mention this last week,

00:04:48.699 --> 00:04:51.620
 but historians know that John the Baptist

00:04:51.620 --> 00:04:52.759
 actually existed.

00:04:53.799 --> 00:04:55.299
 Josephus, a Jewish historian,

00:04:55.300 --> 00:04:58.020
 who was writing at roughly the time

00:04:58.020 --> 00:04:59.500
 of the early church.

00:04:59.780 --> 00:05:01.439
 He has a variety of stories

00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:02.520
 about John the Baptist.

00:05:02.740 --> 00:05:03.980
 So historians know

00:05:03.980 --> 00:05:05.780
 there really was a true John the Baptist.

00:05:06.520 --> 00:05:08.780
 And in fact a lot of what is said

00:05:08.780 --> 00:05:10.120
 in the Gospels is also said

00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:11.400
 in this Jewish,

00:05:11.660 --> 00:05:14.120
 non-Christian Jewish historian.

00:05:14.900 --> 00:05:17.180
 So John the Baptist is arrested.

00:05:18.139 --> 00:05:19.639
 And later on there's going to be

00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:20.639
 a time in Mark's Gospel

00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:21.480
 it sort of goes back

00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:22.620
 and looks retroactively

00:05:22.620 --> 00:05:24.180
 at what happens to John the Baptist.

00:05:24.180 --> 00:05:26.019
 But after John's arrested

00:05:26.019 --> 00:05:28.480
 Jesus came into Galilee

00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.160
 proclaiming the Gospel of God.

00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:31.879
 Just another thing here,

00:05:31.980 --> 00:05:32.879
 two other little things.

00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:33.680
 The first one is

00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:35.800
 going into Galilee.

00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:38.439
 This doesn't sort of mean

00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:39.439
 very much to us

00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:40.439
 and we sort of have

00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:42.460
 very, very fond, romantic

00:05:42.460 --> 00:05:44.639
 Christian thoughts about Galilee.

00:05:45.460 --> 00:05:46.500
 But if you wanted to become

00:05:46.500 --> 00:05:48.480
 good to have you here.

00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:50.259
 If you wanted to become famous

00:05:50.259 --> 00:05:51.460
 so what's going on

00:05:51.460 --> 00:05:52.259
 when he says Galilee?

00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:52.939
 What you need to do

00:05:52.939 --> 00:05:54.939
 is put yourself in the...

00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:57.540
 Because this is very important.

00:05:57.660 --> 00:05:59.060
 It reveals a lot about Jesus.

00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:01.019
 If you met somebody

00:06:01.019 --> 00:06:02.519
 at church

00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:03.160
 and they said,

00:06:03.219 --> 00:06:03.680
 by the way,

00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:05.079
 I really think

00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:06.939
 I'm going to be like the next...

00:06:06.939 --> 00:06:08.480
 I'm going to be the next

00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:09.379
 Dwayne Johnson.

00:06:09.379 --> 00:06:10.240
 I'm going to be the next

00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:11.019
 The Rock.

00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:12.120
 Or I'm going to be, you know,

00:06:12.159 --> 00:06:13.420
 the next Tom Cruise

00:06:13.420 --> 00:06:15.399
 or something like that.

00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:16.740
 I think I really have

00:06:16.740 --> 00:06:18.720
 a future in movies.

00:06:19.659 --> 00:06:19.980
 And you say,

00:06:20.060 --> 00:06:20.579
 well, I mean,

00:06:20.579 --> 00:06:21.459
 you might think that's sort of

00:06:21.459 --> 00:06:22.399
 a weird thing to say.

00:06:22.579 --> 00:06:23.779
 But then if they say,

00:06:23.899 --> 00:06:25.000
 and so I've decided

00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:25.539
 I'm going to move

00:06:25.539 --> 00:06:26.839
 to South Porcupine

00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:29.439
 to pursue my career.

00:06:29.620 --> 00:06:30.240
 And you'd go,

00:06:30.579 --> 00:06:30.859
 what?

00:06:31.699 --> 00:06:32.659
 Like nobody goes

00:06:32.659 --> 00:06:33.919
 to South Porcupine

00:06:33.919 --> 00:06:35.459
 if they want to be

00:06:35.459 --> 00:06:37.899
 a famous Hollywood actor.

00:06:38.899 --> 00:06:39.419
 You'd say,

00:06:39.500 --> 00:06:40.399
 well, they should be moving

00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:41.560
 to L.A.

00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:42.899
 or New York City

00:06:42.899 --> 00:06:44.539
 or maybe Toronto

00:06:44.539 --> 00:06:45.479
 or Vancouver,

00:06:45.699 --> 00:06:47.399
 but not South Porcupine.

00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:51.219
 Galilee is an unimportant area.

00:06:52.579 --> 00:06:53.500
 It's a completely

00:06:53.500 --> 00:06:55.019
 and utterly unimportant area.

00:06:55.179 --> 00:06:56.019
 It's not where you go

00:06:56.019 --> 00:06:57.620
 if you want to become famous.

00:06:57.819 --> 00:06:58.599
 It's not where you go

00:06:58.599 --> 00:06:59.759
 if you want to make an impact.

00:07:00.500 --> 00:07:01.039
 I mean, really,

00:07:01.159 --> 00:07:02.019
 if God wanted to make

00:07:02.019 --> 00:07:02.759
 a big impact,

00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:03.500
 you'd say he should have

00:07:03.500 --> 00:07:04.399
 sent somebody to Rome.

00:07:04.599 --> 00:07:05.500
 If not Rome,

00:07:05.579 --> 00:07:06.500
 maybe Alexandria

00:07:06.500 --> 00:07:07.519
 or maybe Ephesus.

00:07:08.219 --> 00:07:09.500
 And if not one of those places,

00:07:09.579 --> 00:07:10.819
 at least it should be Jerusalem,

00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:11.779
 but not Galilee.

00:07:11.899 --> 00:07:12.659
 That's the sticks.

00:07:12.719 --> 00:07:14.399
 That's the South Porcupine,

00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:16.019
 which I think is a suburb

00:07:16.019 --> 00:07:19.919
 of Sudbury, by the way.

00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:21.399
 So in case you're wondering

00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:22.099
 where it is.

00:07:22.599 --> 00:07:24.120
 So that's a very significant thing.

00:07:24.219 --> 00:07:24.759
 Here we have

00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:26.379
 that the gospel opens

00:07:26.379 --> 00:07:28.199
 with Jesus as the Son of God,

00:07:28.359 --> 00:07:29.839
 that all of the Old Testament

00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:30.919
 is being fulfilled.

00:07:31.459 --> 00:07:32.219
 And then you see

00:07:32.219 --> 00:07:33.359
 when we're going to get talking

00:07:33.359 --> 00:07:34.500
 about Jesus' teaching

00:07:34.500 --> 00:07:35.019
 and ministry

00:07:35.019 --> 00:07:37.159
 that he's not going to Jerusalem,

00:07:37.359 --> 00:07:38.479
 he's not going to Rome,

00:07:38.539 --> 00:07:39.819
 he's not going to Alexandria,

00:07:39.819 --> 00:07:42.279
 he goes to Galilee,

00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.899
 which is a mixed area

00:07:44.899 --> 00:07:46.779
 of Jewish and non-Jewish people,

00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:47.479
 and it's definitely

00:07:47.479 --> 00:07:49.000
 not a very important place.

00:07:49.699 --> 00:07:50.419
 So once again,

00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:51.000
 you look at it,

00:07:51.019 --> 00:07:51.500
 it says,

00:07:52.059 --> 00:07:55.359
 after John the Baptist

00:07:55.359 --> 00:07:56.000
 was arrested,

00:07:56.159 --> 00:07:57.459
 Jesus came into Galilee

00:07:57.459 --> 00:07:59.159
 proclaiming the gospel of God.

00:07:59.679 --> 00:08:00.379
 And what that means

00:08:00.379 --> 00:08:01.419
 is that there's,

00:08:01.679 --> 00:08:02.939
 we'll unpack it more in a moment,

00:08:03.099 --> 00:08:05.239
 that God has good news.

00:08:05.659 --> 00:08:07.179
 The source of the good news

00:08:07.179 --> 00:08:08.259
 is God.

00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:10.859
 And this is what Jesus says,

00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:11.659
 verse 15,

00:08:11.660 --> 00:08:12.160
 and saying,

00:08:12.340 --> 00:08:13.340
 the time is fulfilled

00:08:13.340 --> 00:08:15.340
 and the kingdom of God

00:08:15.340 --> 00:08:16.060
 is at hand,

00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:18.540
 repent and believe

00:08:18.540 --> 00:08:19.240
 in the gospel.

00:08:20.640 --> 00:08:22.439
 And we're going to circle back

00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:23.840
 in a moment,

00:08:23.960 --> 00:08:25.360
 but it's a very, very sort of a,

00:08:25.700 --> 00:08:25.980
 like,

00:08:26.100 --> 00:08:27.460
 if you're studying the gospel

00:08:27.460 --> 00:08:28.160
 for yourself,

00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:28.800
 one of the things

00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:29.760
 that you can ask yourself

00:08:29.760 --> 00:08:30.720
 all the time is,

00:08:31.100 --> 00:08:32.879
 how is this particular story

00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:34.080
 showing that the time

00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:34.779
 is fulfilled,

00:08:34.980 --> 00:08:36.379
 or does it show repentance,

00:08:37.100 --> 00:08:37.920
 or does it show something

00:08:37.920 --> 00:08:39.080
 about the kingdom of God,

00:08:39.160 --> 00:08:39.879
 or does it show something

00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:40.660
 about the gospel,

00:08:40.659 --> 00:08:41.559
 or about what it means

00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:42.179
 to believe.

00:08:42.839 --> 00:08:44.199
 But Jesus here gives

00:08:44.199 --> 00:08:46.259
 a bit of a simple outline

00:08:46.259 --> 00:08:48.519
 of how you understand

00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:49.579
 the rest of the book.

00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:51.559
 How, in a sense,

00:08:51.659 --> 00:08:52.519
 Mark has put it in,

00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:53.419
 the words of Jesus

00:08:53.419 --> 00:08:54.339
 to help you understand

00:08:54.339 --> 00:08:55.679
 the rest of the book.

00:08:56.299 --> 00:08:57.179
 And just one thing

00:08:57.179 --> 00:08:58.519
 before we move on

00:08:58.519 --> 00:08:59.219
 from that is

00:08:59.219 --> 00:09:00.299
 that the word time

00:09:00.299 --> 00:09:02.399
 is very significant.

00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:04.679
 The Greek,

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:06.360
 which is what this is written in,

00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:08.000
 there are two principal words

00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:10.720
 that are used for time.

00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:12.500
 One is chronos,

00:09:12.560 --> 00:09:13.600
 and one is kairos.

00:09:13.800 --> 00:09:14.340
 I'm probably not

00:09:14.340 --> 00:09:15.320
 pronouncing them correctly.

00:09:16.220 --> 00:09:17.899
 And chronos means

00:09:17.899 --> 00:09:20.460
 one dang thing after another.

00:09:22.460 --> 00:09:25.320
 It's like a lot of your work days.

00:09:25.700 --> 00:09:25.899
 You know,

00:09:25.940 --> 00:09:26.759
 it starts with this,

00:09:26.820 --> 00:09:27.460
 then it does this,

00:09:27.539 --> 00:09:28.180
 then you do this,

00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:28.860
 then you do this,

00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:29.519
 then you do this,

00:09:29.580 --> 00:09:30.180
 then you do this,

00:09:30.220 --> 00:09:30.879
 then you do this,

00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:31.940
 then you do this,

00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:33.019
 then you can unplug,

00:09:33.019 --> 00:09:34.460
 and time is your own.

00:09:34.500 --> 00:09:35.220
 It's just chronos.

00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:36.399
 It's one thing after another.

00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:37.480
 The other word,

00:09:37.620 --> 00:09:38.259
 kairos,

00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:39.860
 isn't the same at all.

00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:41.059
 It talks about time

00:09:41.059 --> 00:09:41.939
 being significant.

00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:43.039
 It talks about

00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:44.600
 significant time,

00:09:45.019 --> 00:09:45.980
 time that in a sense

00:09:45.980 --> 00:09:47.460
 is thick with meaning,

00:09:48.019 --> 00:09:49.120
 with purpose.

00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:50.759
 Like,

00:09:50.860 --> 00:09:51.939
 if you think about it,

00:09:51.980 --> 00:09:52.720
 in our culture,

00:09:52.860 --> 00:09:54.439
 there's this constant struggle

00:09:54.439 --> 00:09:55.740
 at a high end

00:09:55.740 --> 00:09:56.620
 of philosophy

00:09:56.620 --> 00:09:58.159
 of seriousness

00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.039
 is this understanding

00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:00.759
 that basically

00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:01.699
 all there is

00:10:01.699 --> 00:10:02.439
 is chronos.

00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:03.440
 There's just one thing

00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:04.060
 after another,

00:10:04.140 --> 00:10:04.640
 after another,

00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:05.260
 after another.

00:10:05.860 --> 00:10:07.640
 But at a more popular level,

00:10:07.740 --> 00:10:08.540
 there is this sense

00:10:08.540 --> 00:10:09.180
 that there must be

00:10:09.180 --> 00:10:10.160
 some type of meaning

00:10:10.160 --> 00:10:10.800
 to life.

00:10:10.900 --> 00:10:12.000
 There must be some sense

00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:13.160
 or purpose to life.

00:10:14.580 --> 00:10:15.600
 We are encouraged

00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:16.940
 to try to find some meaning

00:10:16.940 --> 00:10:18.080
 or make our lives

00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:18.860
 more meaningful.

00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:20.280
 And this is sort of

00:10:20.280 --> 00:10:21.240
 embedded in the very,

00:10:21.340 --> 00:10:22.040
 very language

00:10:22.040 --> 00:10:22.660
 of the text.

00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:24.040
 And what it's saying is

00:10:24.040 --> 00:10:25.800
 that the kairos

00:10:25.800 --> 00:10:27.280
 is fulfilled.

00:10:28.160 --> 00:10:28.180
 Now,

00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:30.120
 this also is important

00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:30.960
 in another way.

00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:34.340
 And this has to do

00:10:34.340 --> 00:10:35.220
 with trying to understand

00:10:35.220 --> 00:10:36.620
 how the different Gospels

00:10:36.620 --> 00:10:37.580
 can put together.

00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:39.000
 One of the things

00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:40.139
 that you might not notice

00:10:40.139 --> 00:10:41.700
 when you read the Gospels

00:10:41.700 --> 00:10:42.680
 is that there's actually

00:10:42.680 --> 00:10:43.560
 very few

00:10:43.560 --> 00:10:46.759
 time markers.

00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:50.980
 You know how

00:10:50.980 --> 00:10:52.820
 in the newspapers

00:10:52.820 --> 00:10:53.560
 sometimes

00:10:53.560 --> 00:10:54.360
 there may be

00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:55.600
 a terrorist attack

00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:56.360
 or some other

00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:57.139
 big event

00:10:57.139 --> 00:10:57.940
 that goes on.

00:10:58.659 --> 00:10:59.120
 And so they

00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:00.040
 talk about it

00:11:00.040 --> 00:11:00.659
 but then maybe

00:11:00.659 --> 00:11:01.639
 they'll have somebody

00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:02.139
 who gives you

00:11:02.139 --> 00:11:02.560
 a little bit

00:11:02.560 --> 00:11:03.259
 of a timeline

00:11:03.259 --> 00:11:03.980
 for it.

00:11:04.040 --> 00:11:04.759
 That at this time

00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:05.399
 this happened

00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:06.860
 sometimes with a map.

00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:07.080
 You know,

00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:08.220
 they were here

00:11:08.220 --> 00:11:08.820
 at this moment

00:11:08.820 --> 00:11:09.680
 then they were here,

00:11:10.139 --> 00:11:10.519
 here,

00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:10.960
 here,

00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:11.259
 here.

00:11:11.340 --> 00:11:11.820
 And there's a brief

00:11:11.820 --> 00:11:12.279
 description

00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:12.879
 so you can get

00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:13.800
 a bit of a sense

00:11:13.800 --> 00:11:15.120
 of what happened

00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:16.180
 one thing after another.

00:11:16.540 --> 00:11:17.379
 And that in a sense

00:11:17.379 --> 00:11:18.360
 is all kronos.

00:11:18.620 --> 00:11:19.300
 They're all trying

00:11:19.300 --> 00:11:20.460
 to get the timeline right.

00:11:20.560 --> 00:11:21.080
 What happened,

00:11:21.180 --> 00:11:21.800
 then what happened,

00:11:21.860 --> 00:11:22.420
 then what happened,

00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:23.019
 then what happened,

00:11:23.060 --> 00:11:23.660
 then what happened.

00:11:23.659 --> 00:11:25.279
 But one of the things

00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:26.279
 about the Gospels

00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:27.639
 is that they're not

00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:28.339
 very interested

00:11:28.339 --> 00:11:29.079
 in kronos.

00:11:29.740 --> 00:11:30.500
 They're interested

00:11:30.500 --> 00:11:31.240
 in kairos.

00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:32.659
 They're interested

00:11:32.659 --> 00:11:33.219
 in meaning

00:11:33.219 --> 00:11:34.059
 and significance.

00:11:35.139 --> 00:11:36.039
 And so one of the things

00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:36.839
 then is that a lot

00:11:36.839 --> 00:11:37.199
 of times,

00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:38.379
 like if you look at it,

00:11:38.539 --> 00:11:39.500
 look again at how

00:11:39.500 --> 00:11:40.659
 it goes from verse 15

00:11:40.659 --> 00:11:41.379
 to verse 16.

00:11:41.459 --> 00:11:42.419
 In verse 15 it says

00:11:42.419 --> 00:11:43.439
 the time is fulfilled

00:11:43.439 --> 00:11:44.899
 and the kingdom of God

00:11:44.899 --> 00:11:45.519
 is at hand.

00:11:46.079 --> 00:11:46.839
 Repent and believe

00:11:46.839 --> 00:11:47.459
 in the Gospel.

00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:48.980
 Then the very next verse

00:11:48.980 --> 00:11:49.959
 is passing alongside

00:11:49.959 --> 00:11:51.019
 the Sea of Galilee.

00:11:51.819 --> 00:11:52.179
 Well,

00:11:52.179 --> 00:11:53.759
 so some of you say,

00:11:53.899 --> 00:11:54.500
 and by the way,

00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:55.199
 if you read

00:11:55.199 --> 00:11:56.419
 academic commentaries,

00:11:56.500 --> 00:11:57.259
 they pull their hair

00:11:57.259 --> 00:11:58.539
 out at this type of stuff

00:11:58.539 --> 00:11:59.459
 because it's as if

00:11:59.459 --> 00:12:01.079
 a lot of academics

00:12:01.079 --> 00:12:02.919
 in the modern academy,

00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:03.899
 when they write things,

00:12:04.099 --> 00:12:04.979
 they're addicted

00:12:04.979 --> 00:12:05.939
 to kronos.

00:12:06.059 --> 00:12:06.559
 They're addicted

00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:07.679
 to trying to figure out

00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:08.899
 when one thing happens

00:12:08.899 --> 00:12:09.639
 and then another thing

00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:10.319
 and then another thing

00:12:10.319 --> 00:12:11.000
 and then another thing.

00:12:11.199 --> 00:12:12.139
 They love that.

00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:13.019
 And so

00:12:13.019 --> 00:12:15.379
 they'd say to themselves,

00:12:15.479 --> 00:12:15.559
 well,

00:12:15.620 --> 00:12:16.479
 is Mark saying

00:12:16.479 --> 00:12:17.559
 that this happened

00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:18.439
 like immediately

00:12:18.439 --> 00:12:19.339
 after this

00:12:19.340 --> 00:12:19.980
 or did it happen

00:12:19.980 --> 00:12:21.200
 like six months later

00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:22.240
 or three months later?

00:12:22.340 --> 00:12:23.720
 And the different Gospels

00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:24.600
 will sometimes put

00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:25.340
 some of these things

00:12:25.340 --> 00:12:26.259
 in different places

00:12:26.259 --> 00:12:27.820
 and people assume

00:12:27.820 --> 00:12:28.680
 that because it goes

00:12:28.680 --> 00:12:29.360
 from one thing

00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:30.480
 to the next in the story

00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:32.259
 that Mark is trying

00:12:32.259 --> 00:12:33.139
 to write something

00:12:33.139 --> 00:12:34.120
 from the perspective

00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:35.240
 of kronos,

00:12:35.300 --> 00:12:35.759
 of one thing

00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:36.600
 happening after another.

00:12:37.180 --> 00:12:37.440
 But

00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.420
 they're not really

00:12:39.420 --> 00:12:40.700
 interested in that as much.

00:12:40.780 --> 00:12:41.360
 They're interested

00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:42.040
 in meaning.

00:12:42.680 --> 00:12:43.440
 They're interested

00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:44.220
 in significance.

00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:44.920
 Like,

00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:45.620
 if you went back

00:12:45.620 --> 00:12:46.019
 in time,

00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:46.720
 they'd probably say,

00:12:47.259 --> 00:12:47.680
 oh yeah,

00:12:47.899 --> 00:12:48.460
 okay,

00:12:48.560 --> 00:12:48.639
 well,

00:12:48.820 --> 00:12:49.240
 sure.

00:12:49.460 --> 00:12:49.720
 And then,

00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:49.899
 you know,

00:12:49.940 --> 00:12:50.759
 you'd get Peter

00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:51.259
 and James

00:12:51.259 --> 00:12:51.779
 and Andrew

00:12:51.779 --> 00:12:52.180
 and John

00:12:52.180 --> 00:12:52.480
 and they could

00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:52.940
 all sit together

00:12:52.940 --> 00:12:53.160
 and say,

00:12:53.220 --> 00:12:53.300
 no,

00:12:53.340 --> 00:12:53.399
 no,

00:12:53.460 --> 00:12:54.000
 that happened

00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:54.600
 on this date

00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:55.060
 and then that

00:12:55.060 --> 00:12:55.300
 and that.

00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:56.560
 They could tell you that.

00:12:57.340 --> 00:12:58.180
 They're not trying

00:12:58.180 --> 00:12:59.120
 to mess with your head.

00:12:59.860 --> 00:13:00.639
 But even the way

00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:01.800
 it begins

00:13:01.800 --> 00:13:03.259
 is we're interested

00:13:03.259 --> 00:13:03.920
 in meaning.

00:13:04.800 --> 00:13:05.420
 And so sometimes

00:13:05.420 --> 00:13:06.100
 what they do

00:13:06.100 --> 00:13:07.940
 is they connect

00:13:07.940 --> 00:13:08.899
 different stories

00:13:08.899 --> 00:13:09.800
 that aren't necessarily

00:13:09.800 --> 00:13:10.460
 one thing

00:13:10.460 --> 00:13:11.019
 after another

00:13:11.019 --> 00:13:11.620
 in time

00:13:11.620 --> 00:13:12.060
 and then they go

00:13:12.060 --> 00:13:12.920
 to another few things

00:13:12.920 --> 00:13:13.620
 but they're trying

00:13:13.620 --> 00:13:14.080
 to show us

00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:15.759
 how things are linked

00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:16.440
 in terms of you

00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:17.360
 getting a sense.

00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:19.000
 Here's another way

00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:19.700
 to explain it.

00:13:21.180 --> 00:13:21.820
 Those of you

00:13:21.820 --> 00:13:22.620
 who like reading

00:13:22.620 --> 00:13:23.420
 mystery novels

00:13:23.420 --> 00:13:24.300
 where there's a murder,

00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:25.860
 one of the things

00:13:25.860 --> 00:13:26.280
 that happens

00:13:26.280 --> 00:13:27.080
 in a mystery novel

00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:28.440
 when there's a murder,

00:13:29.160 --> 00:13:29.500
 so, you know,

00:13:29.540 --> 00:13:30.420
 they have the dead body

00:13:30.420 --> 00:13:33.639
 and some of the detectives

00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:35.100
 and the police officers

00:13:35.100 --> 00:13:36.920
 sort of examining

00:13:36.920 --> 00:13:37.540
 the body

00:13:37.540 --> 00:13:39.800
 and the crime scene

00:13:39.800 --> 00:13:40.740
 and others go

00:13:40.740 --> 00:13:41.640
 and start trying

00:13:41.640 --> 00:13:42.220
 to figure out

00:13:42.220 --> 00:13:42.720
 a little bit

00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:44.060
 about who the person was.

00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:44.740
 And that's actually

00:13:44.740 --> 00:13:45.639
 literally what they're doing.

00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:46.460
 They're trying to figure out

00:13:46.460 --> 00:13:47.600
 who is this person.

00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:49.100
 And so often

00:13:49.100 --> 00:13:49.720
 what happens

00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:50.520
 in that part

00:13:50.520 --> 00:13:51.020
 of the novel

00:13:51.020 --> 00:13:51.720
 or that part

00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:52.180
 of the movie

00:13:52.180 --> 00:13:53.300
 is they start

00:13:53.300 --> 00:13:54.160
 asking questions

00:13:54.160 --> 00:13:54.560
 because they want

00:13:54.560 --> 00:13:55.080
 to get a feel

00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:55.960
 of who the person is,

00:13:56.020 --> 00:13:56.160
 right?

00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:57.020
 Who is this woman

00:13:57.020 --> 00:13:59.440
 whose body

00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:00.200
 we've just found

00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:01.000
 who's been murdered

00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:01.580
 because we want

00:14:01.580 --> 00:14:02.240
 to find the murderer?

00:14:02.920 --> 00:14:03.560
 And so they just

00:14:03.560 --> 00:14:04.379
 start to ask a little bit,

00:14:04.420 --> 00:14:04.820
 well, tell us

00:14:04.820 --> 00:14:05.520
 about the person.

00:14:06.280 --> 00:14:06.420
 You know,

00:14:06.520 --> 00:14:08.060
 like, does she have

00:14:08.060 --> 00:14:08.560
 a boyfriend?

00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:10.839
 Does she work out?

00:14:10.979 --> 00:14:12.279
 Like, you know,

00:14:12.339 --> 00:14:13.299
 what's her job?

00:14:13.500 --> 00:14:14.039
 How does she spend

00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:14.419
 her time?

00:14:14.479 --> 00:14:15.179
 Like, what's she like

00:14:15.179 --> 00:14:15.919
 as a person?

00:14:16.779 --> 00:14:17.759
 But then at some point

00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:18.079
 in time

00:14:18.079 --> 00:14:18.619
 they start to say,

00:14:18.699 --> 00:14:19.159
 oh, okay,

00:14:19.579 --> 00:14:20.379
 now, okay,

00:14:20.419 --> 00:14:20.799
 that's interesting.

00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:21.739
 So she's like this

00:14:21.739 --> 00:14:22.299
 and she's like this,

00:14:22.339 --> 00:14:22.599
 like this.

00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:23.319
 Okay, but what about

00:14:23.319 --> 00:14:23.939
 the chronos?

00:14:23.979 --> 00:14:24.639
 And then all of a sudden

00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:25.079
 they go in

00:14:25.079 --> 00:14:25.599
 and they try to get

00:14:25.599 --> 00:14:27.019
 the little time details right.

00:14:27.479 --> 00:14:28.379
 But first what they want

00:14:28.379 --> 00:14:28.919
 to do is they want

00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:29.459
 to get a sense

00:14:29.459 --> 00:14:30.099
 of the person.

00:14:30.939 --> 00:14:31.879
 And that's what Mark,

00:14:32.019 --> 00:14:32.519
 that's what all

00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:33.159
 of the apostles,

00:14:33.459 --> 00:14:34.599
 all of the gospel writers

00:14:34.599 --> 00:14:35.019
 are doing.

00:14:35.019 --> 00:14:35.899
 They're trying to give you

00:14:35.899 --> 00:14:37.159
 a sense of the person

00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:38.460
 and the meaning

00:14:38.460 --> 00:14:39.220
 and significance

00:14:39.220 --> 00:14:40.340
 of what's going on.

00:14:41.340 --> 00:14:41.539
 So,

00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:42.919
 back to verse 15,

00:14:43.059 --> 00:14:44.240
 the time is fulfilled,

00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:45.539
 kairos.

00:14:46.379 --> 00:14:47.460
 There really is,

00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:49.220
 there is in fact

00:14:49.220 --> 00:14:50.220
 the possibility,

00:14:56.860 --> 00:14:57.740
 you know,

00:14:57.860 --> 00:14:58.879
 we all know

00:14:58.879 --> 00:14:59.639
 that people can ruin

00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:00.319
 their lives.

00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:02.699
 And some of us

00:15:02.699 --> 00:15:03.079
 here today

00:15:03.079 --> 00:15:04.019
 might actually be

00:15:04.019 --> 00:15:05.720
 sort of sitting here

00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:08.819
 and on one level

00:15:08.819 --> 00:15:09.939
 amidst the rubble

00:15:09.939 --> 00:15:10.799
 of their lives.

00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:12.600
 I remember

00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:13.360
 when I was training

00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:14.519
 to be a minister,

00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:15.179
 there was a,

00:15:15.379 --> 00:15:16.259
 one of the people

00:15:16.259 --> 00:15:17.000
 I had to talk with

00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:17.559
 was a person

00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:18.199
 who was in a drug

00:15:18.199 --> 00:15:19.480
 rehabilitation program,

00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:20.360
 a halfway house.

00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:21.720
 And it's always

00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:22.579
 sort of struck me.

00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:23.240
 It's been one of those

00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:24.539
 conversations

00:15:24.539 --> 00:15:25.539
 that stuck with me

00:15:25.539 --> 00:15:26.519
 for all of these years,

00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:27.519
 all of these decades.

00:15:28.299 --> 00:15:29.539
 And he'd lived

00:15:29.539 --> 00:15:30.559
 his entire life

00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:31.379
 in such a way

00:15:31.379 --> 00:15:31.659
 that,

00:15:32.220 --> 00:15:32.379
 you know,

00:15:32.460 --> 00:15:33.939
 because of his addiction

00:15:33.940 --> 00:15:34.780
 he'd stolen

00:15:34.780 --> 00:15:35.580
 from family,

00:15:35.760 --> 00:15:36.800
 stolen from friends,

00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:37.900
 lied to family,

00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:38.940
 lied to friends,

00:15:39.140 --> 00:15:39.780
 lied to people

00:15:39.780 --> 00:15:40.620
 who tried to help him.

00:15:40.680 --> 00:15:40.820
 Just,

00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:42.200
 he had made his life

00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:43.540
 a complete and utter ruin.

00:15:44.020 --> 00:15:44.820
 And he said,

00:15:44.940 --> 00:15:45.040
 it's,

00:15:45.180 --> 00:15:45.680
 you don't know

00:15:45.680 --> 00:15:46.400
 what it's like

00:15:46.400 --> 00:15:47.600
 when you have free time

00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:48.660
 and you leave the house

00:15:48.660 --> 00:15:49.720
 and you come to a corner

00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:51.220
 and it makes absolutely

00:15:51.220 --> 00:15:52.240
 no difference to you

00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:53.220
 or anybody else

00:15:53.220 --> 00:15:54.480
 whether you turn

00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:55.260
 left or right.

00:15:55.820 --> 00:15:56.900
 You have nowhere to go,

00:15:57.440 --> 00:15:58.340
 no one to see,

00:15:58.980 --> 00:15:59.800
 nothing to do.

00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:06.059
 So the Bible here

00:16:06.059 --> 00:16:06.899
 isn't saying

00:16:06.899 --> 00:16:08.559
 that each individual

00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:09.759
 is guaranteed

00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:10.740
 that their life

00:16:10.740 --> 00:16:11.439
 has meaning.

00:16:12.959 --> 00:16:14.159
 It is possible

00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:15.099
 to miss out

00:16:15.099 --> 00:16:16.219
 on the meaning

00:16:16.219 --> 00:16:16.779
 of life.

00:16:17.439 --> 00:16:18.500
 It's possible

00:16:18.500 --> 00:16:19.759
 that your life

00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:21.819
 is a tragedy.

00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:23.779
 But what the Bible

00:16:23.779 --> 00:16:24.259
 is saying

00:16:24.259 --> 00:16:24.859
 with this word

00:16:24.859 --> 00:16:25.639
 kairos

00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:27.079
 is that in fact

00:16:27.079 --> 00:16:27.979
 there is a meaning

00:16:27.980 --> 00:16:29.039
 that does exist

00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:30.840
 and part of the good news

00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:33.519
 is that whatever it is

00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:34.220
 that's gone on

00:16:34.220 --> 00:16:34.759
 in your life

00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:35.259
 and you might,

00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:36.539
 from a human point of view,

00:16:36.620 --> 00:16:37.440
 your life might be

00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:38.200
 in fact just

00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:39.320
 rubbles

00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:40.200
 and shards

00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:40.879
 and ruins

00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:43.240
 of what you've made of it.

00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:45.460
 But that there is good news

00:16:45.460 --> 00:16:46.800
 that in Jesus,

00:16:47.180 --> 00:16:48.539
 no matter what has gone on

00:16:48.539 --> 00:16:49.159
 in your life,

00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:49.879
 that your life

00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:50.980
 can begin again

00:16:50.980 --> 00:16:51.639
 in a sense,

00:16:51.820 --> 00:16:53.039
 that there can be meaning

00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:54.420
 and purpose

00:16:54.420 --> 00:16:55.840
 in your life.

00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:58.120
 I've jumped way ahead.

00:16:58.680 --> 00:16:59.620
 The time is fulfilled

00:16:59.620 --> 00:17:00.560
 and the kingdom of God

00:17:00.560 --> 00:17:01.060
 is hand.

00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:02.220
 Repent and believe

00:17:02.220 --> 00:17:02.860
 in the gospel.

00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:03.940
 Now we have

00:17:03.940 --> 00:17:05.019
 the very first story

00:17:05.019 --> 00:17:06.500
 that Mark chooses

00:17:06.500 --> 00:17:07.579
 to put right after it.

00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:08.039
 He says,

00:17:08.539 --> 00:17:09.319
 Passing alongside

00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:10.380
 the Sea of Galilee,

00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:12.079
 Jesus saw Simon

00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:12.680
 and Andrew,

00:17:12.940 --> 00:17:13.860
 the brother of Simon,

00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:14.740
 casting it in

00:17:14.740 --> 00:17:15.360
 into the sea

00:17:15.360 --> 00:17:16.640
 for they were fishermen.

00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:18.519
 Now just for those of you

00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:19.299
 who aren't that familiar

00:17:19.299 --> 00:17:20.000
 with the Bible,

00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:22.420
 Simon is later on

00:17:22.420 --> 00:17:23.039
 renamed

00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:25.039
 and Jesus gives him

00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:25.599
 a new name

00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:26.379
 and that new name

00:17:26.379 --> 00:17:26.879
 is Peter.

00:17:27.460 --> 00:17:28.220
 So most people

00:17:28.220 --> 00:17:28.700
 are familiar

00:17:28.700 --> 00:17:29.879
 with the apostle Peter

00:17:29.879 --> 00:17:30.899
 if they're a bit familiar

00:17:30.899 --> 00:17:32.000
 with the gospel story.

00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:33.420
 And so this person,

00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:33.920
 Simon,

00:17:34.139 --> 00:17:35.740
 who will be renamed

00:17:35.740 --> 00:17:36.839
 as Peter later on,

00:17:37.180 --> 00:17:38.099
 he's the same one

00:17:38.099 --> 00:17:38.940
 if you go and you look

00:17:38.940 --> 00:17:39.539
 in your Bibles

00:17:39.539 --> 00:17:41.119
 and you see 1 and 2 Peter,

00:17:41.539 --> 00:17:42.119
 he's the one

00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:42.759
 who wrote that.

00:17:43.379 --> 00:17:43.980
 And in fact,

00:17:44.099 --> 00:17:45.519
 in much of the early church

00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:46.200
 it was believed

00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:46.920
 that when you're reading

00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:47.839
 Mark's gospel,

00:17:47.980 --> 00:17:48.680
 you're really reading

00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:49.680
 Peter's gospel.

00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:52.400
 that Mark was Peter's friend,

00:17:52.700 --> 00:17:54.320
 his young confidant,

00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:55.420
 his young disciple,

00:17:55.980 --> 00:17:57.180
 and that Mark hung around

00:17:57.180 --> 00:17:57.740
 with Peter

00:17:57.740 --> 00:17:59.019
 and basically

00:17:59.019 --> 00:17:59.640
 when you're reading

00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:00.480
 Mark's gospel,

00:18:00.620 --> 00:18:01.840
 you're reading Peter's gospel.

00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:03.039
 So in some ways,

00:18:03.700 --> 00:18:04.640
 Peter puts himself

00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:05.840
 in the story right here

00:18:05.840 --> 00:18:07.700
 and Andrew's his brother.

00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:09.420
 And Jesus said,

00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:10.259
 verse 17,

00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:12.100
 Jesus says to them,

00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:12.900
 follow me

00:18:12.900 --> 00:18:14.380
 and I will make you

00:18:14.380 --> 00:18:15.259
 become fishers

00:18:15.259 --> 00:18:16.060
 of men and women.

00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:17.880
 And this has

00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:19.279
 evangelistic overtones

00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:19.759
 and that's what

00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:20.579
 my blog is about.

00:18:20.660 --> 00:18:21.139
 I'm not going to say

00:18:21.139 --> 00:18:21.700
 anything about it

00:18:21.700 --> 00:18:22.319
 in my sermon,

00:18:22.500 --> 00:18:23.359
 but if you're curious

00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:23.839
 about that,

00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:24.660
 you can read the blog

00:18:24.660 --> 00:18:25.619
 that I wrote this week.

00:18:26.579 --> 00:18:27.099
 And immediately

00:18:27.099 --> 00:18:28.379
 they left their nets

00:18:28.379 --> 00:18:29.839
 and followed him.

00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:31.079
 So you just notice

00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:31.519
 that bit.

00:18:31.639 --> 00:18:32.740
 Jesus comes up to them.

00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:33.559
 He says,

00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:34.319
 follow me

00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:35.559
 and I will make you

00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:36.279
 become fishers

00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:36.980
 of men and women.

00:18:37.420 --> 00:18:38.440
 The heart of it is

00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:39.460
 to follow me.

00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:40.680
 And immediately,

00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:41.500
 verse 18,

00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:42.299
 they left their nets

00:18:42.299 --> 00:18:43.079
 and followed him.

00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:44.440
 And going on

00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:45.139
 a little farther,

00:18:45.639 --> 00:18:46.440
 he saw James,

00:18:46.539 --> 00:18:47.359
 the son of Zebedee,

00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:48.160
 and John,

00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:48.660
 his brother,

00:18:48.660 --> 00:18:49.860
 who were in their boat

00:18:49.860 --> 00:18:51.040
 mending the nets.

00:18:51.700 --> 00:18:52.660
 Now just pause here

00:18:52.660 --> 00:18:53.120
 for a second.

00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:54.160
 There's three different

00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:55.380
 James in the New Testament.

00:18:55.580 --> 00:18:56.240
 It's easy to get

00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:56.980
 them confused.

00:18:57.860 --> 00:18:58.500
 This James

00:18:58.500 --> 00:18:59.400
 is the first

00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:00.700
 of the twelve apostles.

00:19:01.360 --> 00:19:01.740
 Well,

00:19:01.779 --> 00:19:02.500
 the first apostle

00:19:02.500 --> 00:19:03.500
 of the twelve apostles

00:19:03.500 --> 00:19:03.840
 to die,

00:19:03.940 --> 00:19:04.200
 of course,

00:19:04.259 --> 00:19:04.720
 is Judas,

00:19:04.860 --> 00:19:05.779
 who betrays Jesus

00:19:05.779 --> 00:19:06.940
 and commits suicide.

00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:08.700
 But the first

00:19:08.700 --> 00:19:10.019
 of the twelve apostles

00:19:10.019 --> 00:19:11.700
 who die

00:19:11.700 --> 00:19:12.700
 as a martyr,

00:19:13.980 --> 00:19:14.759
 they die

00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:15.840
 maintaining

00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:16.240
 saying that

00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:16.599
 Jesus

00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:17.619
 had died,

00:19:18.139 --> 00:19:18.919
 was buried,

00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:20.459
 that the body

00:19:20.459 --> 00:19:21.179
 was gone,

00:19:21.439 --> 00:19:22.339
 that they didn't

00:19:22.339 --> 00:19:23.099
 steal the body,

00:19:23.220 --> 00:19:23.679
 that nobody

00:19:23.679 --> 00:19:24.899
 stole the body,

00:19:25.019 --> 00:19:25.379
 and that they

00:19:25.379 --> 00:19:26.059
 saw Jesus

00:19:26.059 --> 00:19:27.099
 risen from the dead.

00:19:27.099 --> 00:19:27.980
 And the very,

00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:29.019
 very first one

00:19:29.019 --> 00:19:30.079
 to die for that

00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:31.059
 is this James

00:19:31.059 --> 00:19:32.539
 who's mentioned here.

00:19:33.299 --> 00:19:34.339
 After the death

00:19:34.339 --> 00:19:35.019
 and resurrection

00:19:35.019 --> 00:19:35.639
 of Jesus,

00:19:35.859 --> 00:19:36.679
 James is to become

00:19:36.679 --> 00:19:37.179
 one of the most

00:19:37.179 --> 00:19:38.059
 important people

00:19:38.059 --> 00:19:39.240
 in the Jerusalem church,

00:19:39.459 --> 00:19:40.459
 and he becomes

00:19:40.459 --> 00:19:41.919
 the first of the apostles

00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:43.580
 to be martyred.

00:19:45.320 --> 00:19:46.039
 And going on a little,

00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:47.039
 verse 19 again,

00:19:47.140 --> 00:19:48.180
 going on a little further,

00:19:48.420 --> 00:19:49.220
 he saw James,

00:19:49.300 --> 00:19:50.039
 the son of Zebedee,

00:19:50.140 --> 00:19:50.600
 and John,

00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:51.180
 his brother,

00:19:51.660 --> 00:19:52.500
 who were in their boat

00:19:52.500 --> 00:19:53.420
 mending the nets.

00:19:54.060 --> 00:19:54.720
 And John

00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:56.480
 is the same one

00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:57.320
 who wrote the gospel

00:19:57.320 --> 00:19:57.779
 of John,

00:19:57.880 --> 00:19:58.500
 first and second

00:19:58.500 --> 00:19:59.279
 and third John,

00:19:59.620 --> 00:20:00.060
 and the book

00:20:00.060 --> 00:20:00.680
 of Revelation.

00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:02.360
 And by

00:20:02.360 --> 00:20:03.340
 most

00:20:03.340 --> 00:20:05.680
 people's understanding,

00:20:05.980 --> 00:20:06.900
 he was the only

00:20:06.900 --> 00:20:07.700
 one of the

00:20:07.700 --> 00:20:08.740
 eleven

00:20:08.740 --> 00:20:10.680
 non-betraying

00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:11.160
 apostles

00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:12.360
 who didn't

00:20:12.360 --> 00:20:13.440
 die a martyr's death.

00:20:14.060 --> 00:20:15.060
 So it's very interesting,

00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:15.660
 his brother

00:20:15.660 --> 00:20:16.440
 is the first

00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:17.080
 to die

00:20:17.080 --> 00:20:18.000
 a martyr's death,

00:20:18.220 --> 00:20:18.720
 and John

00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:19.420
 is the only one

00:20:19.420 --> 00:20:20.080
 who didn't die

00:20:20.080 --> 00:20:21.200
 a martyr's death,

00:20:21.320 --> 00:20:22.180
 but he died

00:20:22.180 --> 00:20:23.360
 in exile.

00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:24.620
 In a sense,

00:20:24.800 --> 00:20:25.500
 he was sent

00:20:25.500 --> 00:20:26.140
 to the equivalent

00:20:26.140 --> 00:20:26.980
 of Australia

00:20:26.980 --> 00:20:28.060
 back in those days,

00:20:28.120 --> 00:20:28.800
 how the British Empire

00:20:28.800 --> 00:20:29.360
 used to send

00:20:29.360 --> 00:20:30.180
 some of their criminals

00:20:30.180 --> 00:20:31.400
 to Australia.

00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:32.820
 He died in that case,

00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:33.300
 once again,

00:20:33.420 --> 00:20:33.880
 maintaining

00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:35.580
 who Jesus was.

00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:36.680
 Verse 20,

00:20:37.040 --> 00:20:37.500
 and immediately

00:20:37.500 --> 00:20:38.400
 he called them

00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:39.340
 and they left

00:20:39.340 --> 00:20:39.960
 their net,

00:20:40.220 --> 00:20:40.660
 they left

00:20:40.660 --> 00:20:41.560
 their father Zebedee

00:20:41.560 --> 00:20:42.060
 in the boat

00:20:42.060 --> 00:20:43.140
 with the hired servants

00:20:43.140 --> 00:20:44.560
 and followed him.

00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:45.620
 If you,

00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:46.060
 Claire,

00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:46.640
 could switch

00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:47.140
 back up

00:20:47.140 --> 00:20:49.580
 to verse 15.

00:20:51.820 --> 00:20:52.620
 Here it is,

00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:53.180
 the summary,

00:20:53.300 --> 00:20:53.700
 the outline

00:20:53.700 --> 00:20:54.820
 of Jesus' teaching.

00:20:54.980 --> 00:20:56.040
 The time is fulfilled

00:20:56.040 --> 00:20:57.180
 and the kingdom

00:20:57.180 --> 00:20:57.580
 of God

00:20:57.580 --> 00:20:58.300
 is at hand.

00:20:58.860 --> 00:20:59.340
 Repent

00:20:59.340 --> 00:21:00.420
 and believe

00:21:00.420 --> 00:21:01.680
 in the gospel.

00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:02.860
 So we'll look

00:21:02.860 --> 00:21:03.580
 at it a little bit

00:21:03.580 --> 00:21:04.779
 from the backwards

00:21:04.779 --> 00:21:05.360
 going,

00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:06.540
 from the end

00:21:06.540 --> 00:21:07.779
 going to the beginning.

00:21:07.779 --> 00:21:09.899
 gospel just means

00:21:09.899 --> 00:21:10.619
 good news.

00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:12.399
 It was a common word

00:21:12.399 --> 00:21:13.359
 in the ancient world.

00:21:13.899 --> 00:21:15.240
 It was often used

00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:16.359
 to announce

00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:16.819
 the birth

00:21:16.819 --> 00:21:17.259
 of a new,

00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:18.899
 or that a new emperor

00:21:18.899 --> 00:21:19.879
 had taken a throne,

00:21:20.539 --> 00:21:21.940
 or that some,

00:21:22.180 --> 00:21:23.099
 Rome had won

00:21:23.099 --> 00:21:24.079
 some mighty victory,

00:21:24.639 --> 00:21:25.240
 and it would be,

00:21:25.379 --> 00:21:26.379
 there would be a herald

00:21:26.379 --> 00:21:27.000
 who would go out

00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:27.599
 and proclaim

00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:28.859
 to everyone

00:21:28.859 --> 00:21:29.700
 this particular

00:21:29.700 --> 00:21:30.599
 good news.

00:21:30.740 --> 00:21:31.680
 And that's

00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:33.039
 what this word means.

00:21:33.460 --> 00:21:34.279
 And this actually

00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:35.160
 is one of those things

00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:36.380
 that we can't remember

00:21:36.380 --> 00:21:37.380
 enough that it says

00:21:37.380 --> 00:21:38.040
 good news.

00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:39.380
 It doesn't say

00:21:39.380 --> 00:21:40.220
 good advice,

00:21:40.340 --> 00:21:40.920
 it doesn't say

00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:41.620
 good rituals,

00:21:41.900 --> 00:21:42.440
 it doesn't say

00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:43.279
 good therapy,

00:21:43.560 --> 00:21:44.240
 it doesn't say

00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:44.660
 good,

00:21:44.660 --> 00:21:46.300
 you know,

00:21:46.500 --> 00:21:48.700
 good yoga,

00:21:49.080 --> 00:21:49.240
 like,

00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:50.540
 good diet,

00:21:50.820 --> 00:21:51.000
 like,

00:21:51.120 --> 00:21:51.820
 it doesn't,

00:21:51.940 --> 00:21:52.980
 it's not rules,

00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:54.300
 it's what,

00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:55.440
 it's the very thing,

00:21:55.620 --> 00:21:56.540
 one of the very things

00:21:56.540 --> 00:21:57.500
 that makes Christianity

00:21:57.500 --> 00:21:58.100
 different from

00:21:58.100 --> 00:21:59.160
 all other religions,

00:21:59.779 --> 00:22:00.779
 is that all other religions,

00:22:01.060 --> 00:22:01.880
 these are the rituals

00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:02.680
 you need to follow,

00:22:02.800 --> 00:22:03.700
 these are the practices

00:22:03.700 --> 00:22:04.540
 you need to follow,

00:22:04.539 --> 00:22:05.180
 this is the,

00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:06.099
 these,

00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:07.119
 this is the yoga

00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:08.119
 that you need to follow,

00:22:08.619 --> 00:22:10.279
 this is the diet

00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:11.019
 you need to follow,

00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:11.899
 this is the dress

00:22:11.899 --> 00:22:12.740
 that you need to have,

00:22:13.059 --> 00:22:13.659
 and that's,

00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:14.159
 in a sense,

00:22:14.539 --> 00:22:15.180
 you know,

00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:16.000
 Buddhism will say

00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:16.740
 something different

00:22:16.740 --> 00:22:16.980
 than,

00:22:17.139 --> 00:22:18.259
 different types of Buddhism

00:22:18.259 --> 00:22:19.579
 will say different things

00:22:19.579 --> 00:22:20.799
 and will be a little bit

00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:21.899
 different from Hinduism,

00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:22.859
 which will be a little bit

00:22:22.859 --> 00:22:23.720
 different from Islam,

00:22:23.940 --> 00:22:24.700
 which will be different

00:22:24.700 --> 00:22:25.399
 from Judaism,

00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:27.079
 and which will be different

00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:27.839
 to different ways

00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:28.819
 that Christians have tried

00:22:28.819 --> 00:22:30.099
 to turn the gospel

00:22:30.099 --> 00:22:31.279
 as if it's not about news

00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:32.059
 but about rules,

00:22:32.500 --> 00:22:33.619
 and the advice

00:22:33.619 --> 00:22:34.439
 and the commands

00:22:34.439 --> 00:22:35.219
 and the therapies

00:22:35.219 --> 00:22:35.919
 and all will all

00:22:35.919 --> 00:22:36.339
 be very,

00:22:36.459 --> 00:22:36.959
 very different,

00:22:37.019 --> 00:22:37.759
 but they all have

00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:38.419
 this pattern

00:22:38.419 --> 00:22:39.019
 of,

00:22:39.179 --> 00:22:39.339
 they're saying

00:22:39.339 --> 00:22:40.139
 these are the things

00:22:40.139 --> 00:22:41.219
 that you need to do,

00:22:41.379 --> 00:22:43.000
 you need to pray this way,

00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:44.279
 you need to dress this way,

00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:44.879
 you need to spend

00:22:44.879 --> 00:22:45.719
 your time this way,

00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:46.279
 you need to spend

00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:47.099
 your money this way,

00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:48.079
 you need to do this,

00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:49.979
 and if you do these things,

00:22:50.059 --> 00:22:51.799
 then God will accept you,

00:22:52.439 --> 00:22:55.119
 you need to do these things

00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:55.799
 if you're going to have

00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:57.099
 the right type of kids,

00:22:57.859 --> 00:22:58.799
 you're going to have

00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:00.000
 the right type of marriage,

00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:00.459
 you're going to have

00:23:00.459 --> 00:23:01.339
 the right type of job,

00:23:01.339 --> 00:23:02.740
 like even in our own society.

00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:07.279
 Our society might say that they've rejected religion and spirituality,

00:23:07.699 --> 00:23:11.559
 but what they've rejected is just they might have rejected the triune God,

00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:15.559
 but they're completely and utterly addicted to advice and to rules.

00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:18.439
 Wear your mask.

00:23:18.919 --> 00:23:20.919
 Wear your mask this particular way.

00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:22.099
 Get your vaccines.

00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:25.859
 This is how you invest this way if you want to make a lot of money.

00:23:26.699 --> 00:23:29.220
 Listen to my advice about how to have a better marriage.

00:23:29.220 --> 00:23:31.779
 Listen to my advice about how to have a less stress-free life.

00:23:31.980 --> 00:23:37.180
 We're completely and utterly surrounded all of the time by people telling us what to do.

00:23:39.120 --> 00:23:42.579
 And frankly, there's different times in our life when we're really, you know,

00:23:43.380 --> 00:23:47.980
 people and the diet's really working and the weight's going off,

00:23:48.019 --> 00:23:50.100
 and you say, whoa, and they like it.

00:23:50.380 --> 00:23:56.120
 But at some point in time, doesn't it just get tired?

00:23:56.579 --> 00:23:57.640
 Don't you just get tired?

00:23:59.220 --> 00:24:01.759
 I mean, that's what happens to everybody.

00:24:01.940 --> 00:24:04.600
 They cheat or they just give up.

00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:09.980
 You see somebody and they've lost the pounds and they're really happy about it.

00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:12.579
 And then either one of two types of things.

00:24:12.660 --> 00:24:14.319
 I was just talking to a fellow that,

00:24:15.299 --> 00:24:17.460
 I just had a long talk with a fellow the other day,

00:24:17.539 --> 00:24:21.339
 and he had a daughter who was sort of quite overweight,

00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:23.200
 and then she lost a lot of weight.

00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:32.220
 She really got down on diets and on positive thinking and exercise.

00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:33.680
 She lost a ton of weight.

00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:39.759
 But now she lives in terror that she's going to fall off of that and put the weight on.

00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:46.039
 Like she literally lives in deep fear of it.

00:24:47.420 --> 00:24:51.660
 She literally is struggling regularly with bulimia.

00:24:52.140 --> 00:24:53.680
 I don't know if I pronounced that correctly.

00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:56.539
 Because she gives up.

00:24:57.220 --> 00:25:00.200
 She just gets so tired and she just wants to eat.

00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:02.960
 And then she feels terrified that she's going to put the weight on.

00:25:03.060 --> 00:25:04.799
 And so she makes herself throw up.

00:25:05.840 --> 00:25:08.180
 And with that, all of the feelings of despair,

00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:12.779
 and in some cases it goes along with cutting to numb the pain.

00:25:12.779 --> 00:25:21.460
 And so in a world which is addicted to having people tell you what to do,

00:25:22.819 --> 00:25:24.839
 Jesus shows up and says,

00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:28.539
 I have news for you.

00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:34.299
 And how you have to understand this news,

00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:37.299
 years ago when my kids were all young,

00:25:38.259 --> 00:25:40.940
 I was never very good at telling my kids stories,

00:25:40.940 --> 00:25:43.120
 but occasionally they wanted me to tell them a story

00:25:43.120 --> 00:25:44.799
 that I would make up out of my own head.

00:25:45.460 --> 00:25:46.420
 And usually it would just be,

00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:49.700
 I would take some movie theme or some other type of thing

00:25:49.700 --> 00:25:52.059
 and I'd plagiarize it terribly

00:25:52.059 --> 00:25:54.660
 and put their names into it or something like that.

00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:56.559
 Maybe as an animal or maybe as a person.

00:25:57.640 --> 00:25:59.320
 And so what I would do is,

00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:01.039
 okay, I'll tell you a story, I'll tell you a story.

00:26:01.100 --> 00:26:02.820
 But sometimes what I would do is I would tell you,

00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:06.440
 I would tell them a Bible story just from my memory.

00:26:06.820 --> 00:26:08.900
 And every time I did that, I'd always tell them,

00:26:08.900 --> 00:26:11.000
 okay, I'm telling you a true story.

00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:12.600
 This is a true story.

00:26:12.800 --> 00:26:14.519
 All the other stories I'd tell you weren't true.

00:26:14.580 --> 00:26:15.560
 This is a true story.

00:26:16.340 --> 00:26:17.960
 And then I would tell them a story about,

00:26:18.140 --> 00:26:20.019
 you know, whatever, something in the New Testament,

00:26:20.220 --> 00:26:21.060
 something about Jesus.

00:26:22.019 --> 00:26:24.940
 So what is going on here is that,

00:26:25.080 --> 00:26:26.540
 remember Mark,

00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:30.840
 most of the early church thought that when you're reading Mark,

00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:32.080
 you're hearing Peter speak.

00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:36.079
 And Peter died a martyr's death,

00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:38.819
 maintaining the truth of what he said.

00:26:40.899 --> 00:26:43.960
 And Matthew, who wrote the Gospel of Matthew,

00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:45.579
 he died a martyr's death

00:26:45.579 --> 00:26:48.500
 because he maintained that what he'd written was true.

00:26:49.579 --> 00:26:54.139
 And it would be a lie if he said that it was wrong.

00:26:54.139 --> 00:26:57.299
 And he died because this was true.

00:26:57.299 --> 00:27:03.000
 And so what Mark has Jesus saying is,

00:27:03.099 --> 00:27:04.419
 I want to tell you good news.

00:27:05.159 --> 00:27:07.639
 And part of the good news is that it's not more advice.

00:27:08.059 --> 00:27:09.419
 It's not more therapy.

00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:10.559
 It's not more rituals.

00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:15.119
 It's not putting more heavy burdens on you.

00:27:15.180 --> 00:27:17.619
 Because you see, that's the problem with advice, isn't it?

00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:20.279
 The advice doesn't feel very heavy

00:27:20.279 --> 00:27:21.980
 when you're very good at following it.

00:27:22.419 --> 00:27:24.720
 But when you start to mess up in following,

00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:27.140
 it just feels heavier and heavier and heavier.

00:27:27.460 --> 00:27:29.380
 And it makes you feel more and more guilty

00:27:29.380 --> 00:27:31.000
 and more ashamed

00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:32.940
 and more like a failure.

00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:35.460
 Because somehow or another,

00:27:35.980 --> 00:27:38.360
 either you did it and it wasn't working,

00:27:39.140 --> 00:27:41.200
 or you just got tired of it,

00:27:41.259 --> 00:27:43.819
 or you worry that you'll stop doing it.

00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:47.200
 And then you'd be like that dad

00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:48.940
 who was telling me about his daughter

00:27:48.940 --> 00:27:50.000
 who lost the weight

00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:52.980
 and now she's terrified of putting the weight back on again.

00:27:52.980 --> 00:27:55.779
 and it's just messing up her life.

00:27:59.880 --> 00:28:01.660
 And so Jesus says,

00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:06.440
 the good news is about me.

00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:09.279
 And the good news is

00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:12.079
 that in a world where you

00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:13.980
 have to justify yourself,

00:28:14.940 --> 00:28:17.980
 you have to make your family proud,

00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:20.579
 you have to make your mom and dad proud

00:28:20.579 --> 00:28:21.559
 by your accomplishments,

00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:23.240
 you have to make yourself proud,

00:28:23.879 --> 00:28:25.119
 you have to have friends,

00:28:25.259 --> 00:28:26.099
 and you have to have the money,

00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:27.699
 and you have to have whatever it is

00:28:27.699 --> 00:28:28.359
 that our culture,

00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:28.740
 you know,

00:28:28.819 --> 00:28:30.339
 you have to follow the right rituals,

00:28:30.439 --> 00:28:31.220
 you have to do all of this.

00:28:31.379 --> 00:28:32.419
 And in a world

00:28:32.419 --> 00:28:33.819
 that is always telling you

00:28:33.819 --> 00:28:35.019
 of all of the things you have to do,

00:28:35.059 --> 00:28:37.059
 I have this profound good news for you,

00:28:37.819 --> 00:28:38.299
 is that

00:28:38.299 --> 00:28:38.759
 I

00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:41.240
 came to die for you

00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:42.859
 because I love you.

00:28:42.859 --> 00:28:49.219
 And that,

00:28:49.399 --> 00:28:49.859
 that's,

00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:51.159
 you see,

00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:51.779
 that's,

00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:53.240
 that's the good news,

00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:56.299
 is that you can't justify yourself,

00:28:56.759 --> 00:28:58.899
 you can't be good enough

00:28:58.899 --> 00:29:00.459
 for a holy God.

00:29:02.439 --> 00:29:04.219
 Even the attempt to be good enough

00:29:04.219 --> 00:29:05.139
 for a holy God,

00:29:05.259 --> 00:29:05.459
 I mean,

00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:07.159
 often what eats people up

00:29:07.159 --> 00:29:08.919
 is that inside themselves

00:29:08.919 --> 00:29:10.639
 they know that that's not true.

00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:13.060
 that they,

00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:14.660
 they're very good at putting on

00:29:14.660 --> 00:29:16.240
 a good face,

00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:17.900
 and they're very good at,

00:29:18.020 --> 00:29:19.560
 at looking the part,

00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:20.940
 but at night they

00:29:20.940 --> 00:29:22.680
 can't sleep.

00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:25.720
 And they're maybe bolstering

00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:28.120
 the way they want to appear

00:29:28.120 --> 00:29:28.880
 to the world

00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:30.080
 with,

00:29:30.140 --> 00:29:30.900
 with drugs

00:29:30.900 --> 00:29:32.340
 or some other type of thing

00:29:32.340 --> 00:29:33.000
 to numb.

00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:33.560
 And,

00:29:33.620 --> 00:29:33.980
 and they,

00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:36.200
 they worry that they're going to get caught out.

00:29:36.380 --> 00:29:36.480
 They,

00:29:36.540 --> 00:29:38.240
 they worry that people will figure out

00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:39.220
 they don't belong.

00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:41.860
 that they're

00:29:41.860 --> 00:29:43.820
 not really like that

00:29:43.820 --> 00:29:45.480
 if you saw beneath the mask

00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:47.040
 and you saw it beneath the face

00:29:47.040 --> 00:29:48.640
 and you saw it beneath the facade,

00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:50.600
 that,

00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:51.920
 that inside there

00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:52.980
 you'd see that there's

00:29:52.980 --> 00:29:53.800
 this stuff

00:29:53.800 --> 00:29:54.840
 just boiling

00:29:54.840 --> 00:29:55.940
 and rumbling

00:29:55.940 --> 00:29:57.000
 and cracking

00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:58.900
 and falling apart

00:29:58.900 --> 00:29:59.680
 and you're desperately

00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:01.140
 trying to hold it together.

00:30:01.140 --> 00:30:03.140
 either,

00:30:03.140 --> 00:30:05.100
 either that

00:30:05.100 --> 00:30:05.440
 or you,

00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:06.300
 you just become

00:30:06.300 --> 00:30:07.180
 so completely

00:30:07.180 --> 00:30:07.740
 and utterly

00:30:07.740 --> 00:30:09.280
 dead to all of those things

00:30:09.280 --> 00:30:09.920
 within yourself,

00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:11.860
 just so completely narcissistic

00:30:11.860 --> 00:30:13.220
 and filled with pride.

00:30:14.900 --> 00:30:15.420
 But,

00:30:15.500 --> 00:30:16.500
 but when you do that

00:30:16.500 --> 00:30:16.720
 it,

00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:18.560
 it means you can't love people.

00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:19.259
 It,

00:30:19.340 --> 00:30:21.440
 it means you can't just be vulnerable

00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:22.600
 and let another person

00:30:22.600 --> 00:30:23.540
 into your life

00:30:23.540 --> 00:30:23.780
 and,

00:30:23.779 --> 00:30:25.759
 and if,

00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:26.960
 if you just always

00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:28.420
 are just holding together

00:30:28.420 --> 00:30:29.879
 and keeping that pride

00:30:29.879 --> 00:30:31.059
 to,

00:30:31.099 --> 00:30:32.399
 to keep your life together

00:30:32.399 --> 00:30:32.759
 then,

00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:34.099
 I mean,

00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:35.420
 that never works well

00:30:35.420 --> 00:30:36.700
 with loving another person

00:30:36.700 --> 00:30:37.759
 because you end up feeling

00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:38.740
 indifferent to them

00:30:38.740 --> 00:30:38.899
 and,

00:30:39.500 --> 00:30:40.200
 or you're not really

00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:42.759
 sensing what's going on

00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:42.980
 in them

00:30:42.980 --> 00:30:43.980
 because you're just always

00:30:43.980 --> 00:30:45.099
 looking into yourself

00:30:45.099 --> 00:30:46.139
 to try to hold yourself

00:30:46.139 --> 00:30:46.559
 together

00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:46.879
 and it,

00:30:46.940 --> 00:30:48.200
 it seems as if

00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:49.059
 there's just these

00:30:49.059 --> 00:30:51.220
 two different things

00:30:51.220 --> 00:30:51.460
 and,

00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:52.319
 and neither of them

00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:52.859
 really work,

00:30:52.940 --> 00:30:54.119
 they all work in the short run

00:30:54.119 --> 00:30:54.839
 but they don't work

00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:55.539
 in the long run

00:30:55.539 --> 00:30:56.039
 that either,

00:30:56.759 --> 00:30:58.079
 either you're trying to numb

00:30:58.079 --> 00:30:58.700
 and you're worried

00:30:58.700 --> 00:30:59.220
 about people

00:30:59.220 --> 00:31:00.839
 actually piercing into you

00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:01.639
 and getting to know

00:31:01.639 --> 00:31:02.539
 who you really are

00:31:02.539 --> 00:31:03.399
 and realizing that

00:31:03.399 --> 00:31:04.419
 you're not as successful,

00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:05.419
 you're not as kind,

00:31:05.539 --> 00:31:06.440
 you're not as nice,

00:31:07.059 --> 00:31:08.000
 you're not as gentle

00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:09.279
 or,

00:31:09.319 --> 00:31:10.519
 or else you hold on

00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:11.240
 to all that stuff

00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:11.819
 with pride

00:31:11.819 --> 00:31:12.859
 but then that makes you

00:31:12.859 --> 00:31:14.019
 numb to other people

00:31:14.019 --> 00:31:14.919
 so why is it

00:31:14.919 --> 00:31:15.899
 that all you can do

00:31:15.900 --> 00:31:17.300
 is either numb yourself

00:31:17.300 --> 00:31:18.519
 or numb yourself

00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:19.340
 with other people

00:31:19.340 --> 00:31:20.380
 and that's life

00:31:20.380 --> 00:31:22.600
 and in a life like that

00:31:22.600 --> 00:31:24.019
 Jesus comes and says

00:31:24.019 --> 00:31:25.259
 I have good news,

00:31:25.800 --> 00:31:27.920
 I know every single thing

00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:28.540
 about you,

00:31:28.660 --> 00:31:30.660
 I know everything about you,

00:31:30.900 --> 00:31:32.960
 this is why it's so significant

00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:34.259
 that it's the son of God,

00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:35.120
 I,

00:31:35.259 --> 00:31:35.620
 I,

00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:38.200
 I'm closer to you

00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:39.259
 than your very breath,

00:31:39.420 --> 00:31:39.620
 I,

00:31:39.900 --> 00:31:41.240
 I know the dreams

00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:42.160
 you have at night

00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:43.180
 that you don't remember

00:31:43.180 --> 00:31:44.200
 when you wake up,

00:31:44.420 --> 00:31:45.360
 I know the nightmares

00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:46.179
 that you have,

00:31:46.500 --> 00:31:48.559
 I know how many fronts

00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:49.899
 and faces that you have

00:31:49.899 --> 00:31:51.219
 and I know how you can shift

00:31:51.219 --> 00:31:52.039
 from one front

00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:52.779
 to another front

00:31:52.779 --> 00:31:53.500
 to another front

00:31:53.500 --> 00:31:54.279
 to another front,

00:31:55.019 --> 00:31:56.459
 I know your secret drinking,

00:31:56.619 --> 00:31:57.479
 I know your cutting,

00:31:57.719 --> 00:31:58.919
 I know your bulimia,

00:31:59.059 --> 00:31:59.459
 I know,

00:31:59.639 --> 00:32:01.619
 I know all of that about you,

00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:03.259
 I know every single thing

00:32:03.259 --> 00:32:03.939
 about you

00:32:03.939 --> 00:32:07.719
 and knowing every single thing

00:32:07.719 --> 00:32:08.359
 about you,

00:32:09.179 --> 00:32:12.059
 I've never stopped loving you,

00:32:12.059 --> 00:32:14.759
 I mean the one thing

00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:15.720
 we can truly say,

00:32:15.819 --> 00:32:16.599
 not just because

00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:17.799
 it's therapeutic moral,

00:32:18.019 --> 00:32:18.740
 moralism,

00:32:18.919 --> 00:32:20.720
 is that for every human being

00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:21.399
 there has never been

00:32:21.399 --> 00:32:22.279
 a time in their life

00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:23.599
 that they have been unloved

00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:26.159
 by the triune God,

00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:27.960
 I mean they,

00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:29.140
 they might,

00:32:29.259 --> 00:32:30.740
 you might go to your grave

00:32:30.740 --> 00:32:32.240
 not knowing,

00:32:32.380 --> 00:32:33.840
 not wanting that to be true

00:32:33.840 --> 00:32:34.779
 or ignoring it

00:32:34.779 --> 00:32:36.180
 or just throwing it away

00:32:36.180 --> 00:32:37.100
 but in fact,

00:32:38.100 --> 00:32:39.759
 Jesus knew every single thing

00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:40.440
 about you

00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:42.060
 and he knows every single thing

00:32:42.060 --> 00:32:43.000
 about your future

00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:45.019
 and yet knowing all of those things,

00:32:45.120 --> 00:32:46.420
 his response was,

00:32:47.259 --> 00:32:50.340
 I will go to them.

00:32:50.339 --> 00:32:52.559
 God,

00:32:52.639 --> 00:32:53.259
 the son of God,

00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:54.319
 knowing every single thing

00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:54.919
 about you

00:32:54.919 --> 00:32:56.259
 and seeing everything

00:32:56.259 --> 00:32:57.299
 there is about you,

00:32:57.919 --> 00:32:59.079
 seeing the different ways

00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:00.259
 you either use your pride

00:33:00.259 --> 00:33:01.480
 to hold yourself together

00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:02.559
 and use your masks

00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:02.779
 or,

00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:04.339
 and the ways you sort of

00:33:04.339 --> 00:33:05.559
 either hold yourself together

00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:06.299
 so perfectly

00:33:06.299 --> 00:33:07.379
 that now you can't love

00:33:07.379 --> 00:33:07.899
 because you're numb

00:33:07.899 --> 00:33:08.519
 to other people

00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:09.179
 and he sees everything

00:33:09.179 --> 00:33:09.779
 about you and says,

00:33:09.859 --> 00:33:10.959
 I will go to them,

00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:11.879
 that's what he says,

00:33:11.919 --> 00:33:12.699
 I will go to them

00:33:12.699 --> 00:33:15.799
 and he comes to us

00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:17.240
 and the news is

00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:18.179
 that he sets aside

00:33:18.179 --> 00:33:18.759
 his glory

00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:19.519
 and his splendor

00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:20.599
 and his prerogatives of God

00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:21.619
 he takes into himself

00:33:21.619 --> 00:33:22.579
 our human nature

00:33:22.579 --> 00:33:24.639
 and as I talked about

00:33:24.639 --> 00:33:25.579
 last week a little bit

00:33:25.579 --> 00:33:26.619
 he identifies with us

00:33:26.619 --> 00:33:27.400
 as human beings.

00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:30.440
 He lives amongst us

00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:31.660
 and knows what it's like

00:33:31.660 --> 00:33:33.460
 on the inside as well

00:33:33.460 --> 00:33:34.240
 about what it's like

00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:35.139
 to be a human being

00:33:35.139 --> 00:33:36.200
 and experiences

00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:37.740
 the temptations

00:33:37.740 --> 00:33:39.119
 that we experience

00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:40.559
 only rather than succumbing

00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:41.079
 to them

00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:42.359
 and giving in to them

00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:44.440
 he is able

00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:46.039
 to withstand

00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:47.019
 the temptation

00:33:47.019 --> 00:33:48.059
 until the temptation

00:33:48.059 --> 00:33:48.579
 has lost

00:33:48.579 --> 00:33:49.599
 all of its power

00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:50.699
 that in a sense

00:33:50.699 --> 00:33:51.759
 he knows the depth

00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:52.980
 of your human experience

00:33:52.980 --> 00:33:53.740
 as well as he knows

00:33:53.740 --> 00:33:54.740
 the depth of your sin

00:33:54.740 --> 00:33:55.679
 and who you really are

00:33:55.679 --> 00:33:57.539
 down to the very very core

00:33:57.539 --> 00:33:58.119
 of who you are

00:33:58.119 --> 00:33:58.899
 deeper than you will

00:33:58.899 --> 00:33:59.919
 ever know yourself

00:33:59.919 --> 00:34:01.220
 until you die

00:34:01.220 --> 00:34:01.960
 and appear before

00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:02.899
 the face of God

00:34:02.899 --> 00:34:04.259
 and he reveals it to you

00:34:04.259 --> 00:34:05.859
 and knowing all of this

00:34:05.859 --> 00:34:06.960
 he still loves you

00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:09.319
 and the good news

00:34:09.319 --> 00:34:10.259
 is that he loves you

00:34:10.259 --> 00:34:11.059
 so much

00:34:11.059 --> 00:34:12.699
 that he

00:34:12.699 --> 00:34:13.739
 he dies

00:34:13.739 --> 00:34:14.659
 in your place

00:34:14.659 --> 00:34:16.920
 and that what you see

00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:17.940
 upon his life

00:34:17.940 --> 00:34:18.599
 is you're seeing

00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:19.519
 the perfect life

00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:20.679
 you're going to see

00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:21.639
 in the different miracles

00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:22.239
 you're going to see

00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:23.339
 a man who can walk

00:34:23.339 --> 00:34:23.759
 on water

00:34:23.759 --> 00:34:24.739
 if a man could walk

00:34:24.739 --> 00:34:25.139
 on water

00:34:25.139 --> 00:34:26.079
 how could that man

00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:26.960
 ever allow himself

00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:27.559
 to die

00:34:27.559 --> 00:34:28.500
 you're going to see

00:34:28.500 --> 00:34:29.519
 Jesus raise dead

00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:30.199
 people to life

00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:31.159
 and if Jesus is able

00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:32.099
 to raise dead people

00:34:32.099 --> 00:34:32.480
 to life

00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:33.440
 then how could he

00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:34.699
 ever die upon the cross

00:34:34.699 --> 00:34:35.719
 and you're going to see

00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:36.679
 Jesus be able to

00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:37.519
 control the wind

00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:38.079
 and the waves

00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:38.899
 and you say to yourself

00:34:38.899 --> 00:34:40.000
 if Jesus can control

00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:41.019
 the wind and the waves

00:34:41.019 --> 00:34:42.059
 how is it that he

00:34:42.059 --> 00:34:42.659
 would ever die

00:34:42.659 --> 00:34:43.579
 upon the cross

00:34:43.579 --> 00:34:44.539
 and you're going

00:34:44.539 --> 00:34:45.279
 to see Jesus

00:34:45.279 --> 00:34:46.480
 have profound insight

00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:47.379
 into human beings

00:34:47.379 --> 00:34:48.299
 and you'd say to yourself

00:34:48.299 --> 00:34:49.920
 if he has profound insight

00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:50.699
 into human beings

00:34:50.699 --> 00:34:51.920
 does that mean

00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:52.799
 he has a profound insight

00:34:52.799 --> 00:34:53.179
 into me

00:34:53.179 --> 00:34:53.920
 but if that's the case

00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:55.259
 why would he die for me

00:34:55.259 --> 00:34:56.299
 you see because

00:34:56.299 --> 00:34:57.619
 the whole gospel

00:34:57.619 --> 00:34:58.719
 is going to continue

00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:00.119
 to reveal who Jesus is

00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:01.259
 and reveal who he is

00:35:01.259 --> 00:35:02.199
 leaving it

00:35:02.199 --> 00:35:03.899
 as the only way

00:35:03.899 --> 00:35:04.739
 to understand

00:35:04.739 --> 00:35:05.519
 why it is

00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:06.059
 that he dies

00:35:06.059 --> 00:35:06.960
 upon the cross

00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:08.440
 is because he loves you

00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:12.579
 and not the you

00:35:12.579 --> 00:35:13.519
 that you like to put

00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:14.200
 as a face

00:35:14.200 --> 00:35:15.579
 but right underneath

00:35:15.579 --> 00:35:16.159
 everything

00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:16.780
 in terms of

00:35:16.780 --> 00:35:17.599
 who you really are

00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:18.079
 and the depths

00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:18.780
 of who you are

00:35:18.780 --> 00:35:19.360
 and the secrets

00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:20.260
 of who you are

00:35:20.260 --> 00:35:22.579
 not only the secrets

00:35:22.579 --> 00:35:23.519
 that you're ashamed of

00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:24.800
 but your secret glories

00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:26.179
 and the secret longings

00:35:26.179 --> 00:35:26.700
 and yearnings

00:35:26.700 --> 00:35:27.880
 that he knows you

00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:29.519
 and still he dies

00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:30.039
 for you

00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:31.760
 and in his death

00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:32.740
 upon the cross

00:35:32.740 --> 00:35:34.500
 what you see

00:35:34.500 --> 00:35:35.480
 is that he is going

00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:36.900
 to take your place

00:35:36.900 --> 00:35:38.380
 it's as if he says

00:35:38.380 --> 00:35:39.940
 George

00:35:39.940 --> 00:35:43.280
 George

00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:46.300
 if I was just

00:35:46.300 --> 00:35:47.139
 to show everybody

00:35:47.139 --> 00:35:47.920
 in this room

00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:48.920
 all of the thoughts

00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:49.519
 that went through

00:35:49.519 --> 00:35:50.119
 your mind

00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:51.099
 in the last week

00:35:51.099 --> 00:35:53.420
 and the things

00:35:53.420 --> 00:35:54.059
 that you've done

00:35:54.059 --> 00:35:54.700
 and the things

00:35:54.700 --> 00:35:55.400
 that you've said

00:35:55.400 --> 00:35:57.340
 and your emotional

00:35:57.340 --> 00:35:58.400
 responses to how

00:35:58.400 --> 00:35:59.039
 you've reacted

00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:00.079
 to things you've heard

00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:01.059
 and if I was to put

00:36:01.059 --> 00:36:01.700
 those all up

00:36:01.700 --> 00:36:03.099
 in front of everyone

00:36:03.099 --> 00:36:05.860
 they would wonder

00:36:05.860 --> 00:36:06.680
 why you could still

00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:07.319
 be a priest

00:36:07.319 --> 00:36:15.119
 and the fact

00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:15.440
 of the matter

00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:15.799
 is

00:36:15.799 --> 00:36:17.359
 I might be worse

00:36:17.359 --> 00:36:18.159
 than a lot of you

00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:21.299
 but he could do that

00:36:21.299 --> 00:36:22.159
 for every single one

00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:22.399
 of you

00:36:22.399 --> 00:36:22.960
 and put it up

00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:23.599
 on the screen

00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:24.419
 and we would just

00:36:24.419 --> 00:36:25.159
 be horrified

00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:26.199
 there would be no

00:36:26.199 --> 00:36:28.279
 crack too small

00:36:28.279 --> 00:36:29.639
 for us to crawl into

00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:30.539
 because we would never

00:36:30.539 --> 00:36:31.159
 be able to look

00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:32.099
 another person in the eye

00:36:32.099 --> 00:36:32.879
 again ever again

00:36:32.879 --> 00:36:34.000
 for the rest of our lives

00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:35.440
 we would be so

00:36:35.440 --> 00:36:36.320
 completely and utterly

00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:37.079
 humiliated

00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:39.920
 and Jesus says

00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:41.099
 to me

00:36:41.099 --> 00:36:41.880
 and to you

00:36:41.880 --> 00:36:43.079
 you can't

00:36:43.079 --> 00:36:43.519
 withstand

00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:44.900
 that

00:36:44.900 --> 00:36:47.639
 and so

00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:48.440
 George

 I'm going to offer

00:37:29.839 --> 00:37:30.579
 this trade

00:37:30.579 --> 00:37:31.480
 it's as if

00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:32.000
 all of the

00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:32.759
 things that you

00:37:32.759 --> 00:37:33.119
 are

00:37:33.119 --> 00:37:33.719
 and all of the

00:37:33.719 --> 00:37:34.199
 things that you

00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:34.719
 have done

00:37:34.719 --> 00:37:36.440
 you take my

00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:36.960
 hand

00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:37.559
 George

00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:38.559
 and when you

00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:39.239
 take my hand

00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:39.759
 it all

00:37:39.759 --> 00:37:40.539
 all of that

00:37:40.539 --> 00:37:41.519
 goes to me

00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:44.579
 and all

00:37:44.579 --> 00:37:45.099
 all of the

00:37:45.099 --> 00:37:45.519
 punishment

00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:46.179
 that people

00:37:46.179 --> 00:37:46.619
 would think

00:37:46.619 --> 00:37:47.119
 I deserve

00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:47.799
 and all of the

00:37:47.799 --> 00:37:48.579
 shame that they

00:37:48.579 --> 00:37:49.139
 think I would

00:37:49.139 --> 00:37:49.480
 have

00:37:49.480 --> 00:37:49.859
 and I

00:37:49.859 --> 00:37:50.420
 will take

00:37:50.420 --> 00:37:50.799
 that all

00:37:50.799 --> 00:37:51.239
 on me

00:37:51.239 --> 00:37:52.480
 and I

00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:52.839
 will die

00:37:52.839 --> 00:37:53.139
 in your

00:37:53.139 --> 00:37:53.599
 place

00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:55.399
 and George

00:37:55.399 --> 00:37:56.059
 not only will

00:37:56.059 --> 00:37:57.039
 I die

00:37:57.039 --> 00:37:57.339
 in your

00:37:57.339 --> 00:37:57.639
 place

00:37:57.639 --> 00:37:58.159
 but when you

00:37:58.159 --> 00:37:58.639
 put your

00:37:58.639 --> 00:37:59.319
 hand in mine

00:37:59.319 --> 00:37:59.659
 and I

00:37:59.659 --> 00:38:00.420
 I take

00:38:00.420 --> 00:38:01.099
 your hand

00:38:01.099 --> 00:38:02.559
 not only

00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:03.159
 is in a

00:38:03.159 --> 00:38:03.400
 sense

00:38:03.400 --> 00:38:04.099
 all of those

00:38:04.099 --> 00:38:04.460
 secrets

00:38:04.460 --> 00:38:04.779
 and all

00:38:04.779 --> 00:38:05.460
 that shame

00:38:05.460 --> 00:38:05.839
 does that

00:38:05.839 --> 00:38:06.279
 get laid

00:38:06.279 --> 00:38:06.759
 on me

00:38:06.759 --> 00:38:07.079
 and I

00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:07.480
 bear the

00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:08.179
 consequences

00:38:08.179 --> 00:38:08.739
 of that

00:38:08.739 --> 00:38:11.679
 and if

00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:13.559
 and that's

00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:14.019
 why you see

00:38:14.019 --> 00:38:14.920
 when if I

00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:15.599
 if you were

00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:16.000
 to know all

00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:16.259
 of those

00:38:16.259 --> 00:38:16.719
 things about

00:38:16.719 --> 00:38:17.059
 me there'd

00:38:17.059 --> 00:38:17.339
 be no

00:38:17.339 --> 00:38:18.139
 crack too

00:38:18.139 --> 00:38:18.859
 tiny for

00:38:18.859 --> 00:38:19.279
 me to go

00:38:19.279 --> 00:38:19.619
 into

00:38:19.619 --> 00:38:22.739
 to hide

00:38:22.739 --> 00:38:23.259
 from you

00:38:23.259 --> 00:38:24.480
 and that's

00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:25.039
 why later on

00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:25.500
 in the Bible

00:38:25.500 --> 00:38:26.039
 it will talk

00:38:26.039 --> 00:38:26.639
 about how Jesus

00:38:26.639 --> 00:38:27.179
 tastes all

00:38:27.179 --> 00:38:27.639
 there is to

00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:28.059
 taste of

00:38:28.059 --> 00:38:28.239
 death

00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:28.679
 he goes

00:38:28.679 --> 00:38:29.059
 into that

00:38:29.059 --> 00:38:29.799
 tiny crack

00:38:29.799 --> 00:38:30.359
 for you

00:38:30.359 --> 00:38:31.119
 in his

00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:31.519
 death upon

00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:32.059
 the cross

00:38:32.059 --> 00:38:33.480
 but when you

00:38:33.480 --> 00:38:33.799
 put your

00:38:33.799 --> 00:38:34.199
 hand in

00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:34.460
 Jesus

00:38:34.460 --> 00:38:34.940
 this is

00:38:34.940 --> 00:38:35.559
 the news

00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:38.980
 I who

00:38:38.980 --> 00:38:39.359
 have never

00:38:39.359 --> 00:38:40.119
 sinned

00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:41.699
 I who

00:38:41.699 --> 00:38:42.219
 have enjoyed

00:38:42.219 --> 00:38:42.679
 unbroken

00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:43.219
 fellowship

00:38:43.219 --> 00:38:43.639
 with the

00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:43.980
 Father

00:38:43.980 --> 00:38:46.059
 I who

00:38:46.059 --> 00:38:46.359
 am the

00:38:46.359 --> 00:38:46.639
 beloved

00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:47.179
 son

00:38:47.179 --> 00:38:49.059
 I

00:38:49.059 --> 00:38:49.960
 the one

00:38:49.960 --> 00:38:50.539
 that God

00:38:50.539 --> 00:38:51.019
 the Father

00:38:51.019 --> 00:38:51.480
 has just

00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:51.759
 said

00:38:51.759 --> 00:38:52.159
 with you

00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:52.480
 I am

00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:52.679
 well

00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:53.179

00:38:53.179 --> 00:38:56.159
 I will

00:38:56.159 --> 00:38:56.599
 take your

00:38:56.599 --> 00:38:57.039
 sin and

00:38:57.039 --> 00:38:57.279
 shame

00:38:57.279 --> 00:38:57.579
 upon

00:38:57.579 --> 00:38:58.219
 myself

00:38:58.219 --> 00:39:00.460
 and

00:39:00.460 --> 00:39:01.139
 me

00:39:01.139 --> 00:39:01.699
 being

00:39:02.319 --> 00:39:02.699
 beloved

00:39:02.699 --> 00:39:04.559
 that will

00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:05.000
 clothe

00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:05.279
 you

00:39:05.279 --> 00:39:06.779
 that will

00:39:06.779 --> 00:39:07.099
 stand

00:39:07.099 --> 00:39:07.579
 for you

00:39:07.579 --> 00:39:08.940
 I will

00:39:08.940 --> 00:39:09.359
 take your

00:39:09.359 --> 00:39:09.859
 place

00:39:09.859 --> 00:39:15.000
 and you

00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:15.420
 see that's

00:39:15.420 --> 00:39:16.000
 the news

00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:18.199
 that's

00:39:18.199 --> 00:39:18.780
 the news

00:39:18.780 --> 00:39:24.159
 that's

00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:24.559
 the news

00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:24.920
 of what

00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:25.400
 Jesus

00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:26.880
 who he

00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:27.159
 is and

00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:27.480
 what he's

00:39:27.480 --> 00:39:27.800
 done and

00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:28.079
 what he's

00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:28.480
 accomplished

00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:28.820
 that's

00:39:28.820 --> 00:39:29.380
 the news

00:39:29.380 --> 00:39:32.739
 and the

00:39:32.739 --> 00:39:33.239
 news isn't

00:39:33.239 --> 00:39:33.599
 just sort

00:39:33.599 --> 00:39:34.199
 of news

00:39:34.199 --> 00:39:35.079
 that you

00:39:35.079 --> 00:39:35.539
 can now

00:39:35.539 --> 00:39:36.039
 say well

00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:36.300
 George

00:39:36.300 --> 00:39:36.599
 that's

00:39:36.599 --> 00:39:36.920
 alright

00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:39.820
 George

00:39:39.820 --> 00:39:40.119
 that's

00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:40.360
 alright

00:39:40.360 --> 00:39:40.860
 for you

00:39:40.860 --> 00:39:44.039
 but the

00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:44.420
 wonder of

00:39:44.420 --> 00:39:44.920
 the gospel

00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:45.760
 is and

00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:45.960
 that's

00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:46.220
 why the

00:39:46.220 --> 00:39:46.440
 next

00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:46.760
 story

00:39:46.760 --> 00:39:47.160
 is so

00:39:47.160 --> 00:39:47.700
 important

00:39:47.700 --> 00:39:50.200
 and if

00:39:50.200 --> 00:39:50.480
 you're

00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:51.220
 either here

00:39:51.220 --> 00:39:51.660
 and listening

00:39:51.660 --> 00:39:52.120
 in or if

00:39:52.120 --> 00:39:52.620
 you're here

00:39:52.620 --> 00:39:53.100
 and listening

00:39:53.100 --> 00:39:53.720
 in is that

00:39:53.720 --> 00:39:54.020
 Jesus

00:39:54.020 --> 00:39:55.200
 is calling

00:39:55.200 --> 00:39:55.660
 you

00:39:55.660 --> 00:39:57.640
 you see

00:39:57.640 --> 00:39:59.120
 that's

00:39:59.120 --> 00:39:59.380
 the

00:39:59.380 --> 00:40:01.660
 there is

00:40:01.660 --> 00:40:02.340
 no person

00:40:02.340 --> 00:40:03.360
 so bad

00:40:03.360 --> 00:40:04.720
 there is

00:40:04.720 --> 00:40:05.300
 no person

00:40:05.300 --> 00:40:06.140
 so broken

00:40:06.140 --> 00:40:07.280
 there is

00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:07.880
 no person

00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:08.480
 so much

00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:09.060
 a failure

00:40:09.060 --> 00:40:10.160
 there is

00:40:10.160 --> 00:40:10.740
 no person

00:40:10.740 --> 00:40:11.600
 so filled

00:40:11.600 --> 00:40:12.400
 with shame

00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:13.420
 that Jesus

00:40:13.420 --> 00:40:14.080
 doesn't love

00:40:14.080 --> 00:40:14.300
 them

00:40:14.300 --> 00:40:15.060
 and that

00:40:15.059 --> 00:40:15.320
 Jesus

00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:15.820
 isn't

00:40:15.820 --> 00:40:16.440
 calling

00:40:16.440 --> 00:40:17.400
 you

00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:19.000
 to follow

00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:19.239
 him

00:40:19.239 --> 00:40:19.480
 and be

00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:19.659
 his

00:40:19.659 --> 00:40:20.139
 disciple

00:40:20.139 --> 00:40:22.860
 there's

00:40:22.860 --> 00:40:23.320
 no one

00:40:23.320 --> 00:40:26.039
 and that's

00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:26.679
 the news

00:40:26.679 --> 00:40:33.320
 listen to

00:40:33.320 --> 00:40:33.679
 myself

00:40:33.679 --> 00:40:34.320
 I'm not

00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:34.679
 good enough

00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:35.119
 to tell you

00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:35.279
 that

00:40:35.279 --> 00:40:35.719
 all I can

00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:36.000
 do is

00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:36.259
 tell you

00:40:36.259 --> 00:40:36.559
 this is

00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:37.000
 what Jesus

00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:37.539
 says right

00:40:37.539 --> 00:40:37.820
 here

00:40:37.820 --> 00:40:38.500
 that's what

00:40:38.500 --> 00:40:39.179
 gospel means

00:40:39.179 --> 00:40:39.559
 it comes

00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:40.039
 from God

00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:40.500
 himself

00:40:40.500 --> 00:40:42.679
 and so

00:40:42.679 --> 00:40:42.880
 what does

00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:43.139
 it mean

00:40:43.139 --> 00:40:43.460
 it means

00:40:43.460 --> 00:40:43.960
 you turn

00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:44.300
 repent

00:40:44.300 --> 00:40:44.679
 doesn't

00:40:44.679 --> 00:40:44.920
 mean

00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:45.340
 necessarily

00:40:45.340 --> 00:40:45.860
 feeling

00:40:45.860 --> 00:40:46.300
 anything

00:40:46.300 --> 00:40:47.659
 it just

00:40:47.659 --> 00:40:48.119
 means you

00:40:48.119 --> 00:40:48.579
 hear him

00:40:48.579 --> 00:40:49.039
 call

00:40:49.039 --> 00:40:50.300
 and rather

00:40:50.300 --> 00:40:50.800
 than ignoring

00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:51.559
 his voice

00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:52.340
 ignoring his

00:40:52.340 --> 00:40:52.519
 voice

00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:52.800
 I know

00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:53.039
 when I

00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:53.500
 became a

00:40:53.500 --> 00:40:53.760
 Christian

00:40:53.760 --> 00:40:53.960
 it was

00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:54.260
 as if

00:40:54.260 --> 00:40:54.639
 I knew

00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:55.139
 that Jesus

00:40:55.139 --> 00:40:55.739
 was calling

00:40:55.739 --> 00:40:56.019
 me

00:40:56.019 --> 00:40:56.320
 and was

00:40:56.320 --> 00:40:56.639
 calling

00:40:56.639 --> 00:40:56.820
 me

00:40:56.820 --> 00:40:57.280
 and calling

00:40:57.280 --> 00:40:57.539
 me

00:40:57.539 --> 00:40:57.780
 and I

00:40:57.780 --> 00:40:58.079
 kept

00:40:58.079 --> 00:40:58.980
 not wanting

00:40:58.980 --> 00:40:59.440
 to hear

00:40:59.440 --> 00:40:59.599
 him

00:40:59.599 --> 00:40:59.800
 and I

00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:01.880
 finally

00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:02.280
 turned

00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:02.699
 to him

00:41:02.699 --> 00:41:05.939
 and believe

00:41:05.939 --> 00:41:06.319
 doesn't

00:41:06.319 --> 00:41:06.639
 necessarily

00:41:06.639 --> 00:41:07.359
 believe

00:41:07.359 --> 00:41:07.699
 as a

00:41:07.699 --> 00:41:08.099
 person

00:41:08.099 --> 00:41:08.480
 word

00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:08.799
 just

00:41:08.799 --> 00:41:09.259
 believe

00:41:09.259 --> 00:41:09.539
 that

00:41:09.539 --> 00:41:09.899
 Jesus

00:41:09.899 --> 00:41:10.239
 is

00:41:10.239 --> 00:41:10.439
 who

00:41:10.439 --> 00:41:10.619
 he

00:41:10.619 --> 00:41:10.859
 says

00:41:10.859 --> 00:41:11.039
 he

00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:11.319
 is

00:41:11.319 --> 00:41:11.619
 and that

00:41:11.619 --> 00:41:11.739
 he

00:41:11.739 --> 00:41:12.079
 wants

00:41:12.079 --> 00:41:12.679
 to do

00:41:12.679 --> 00:41:14.179
 that

00:41:14.179 --> 00:41:15.079
 for you

00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:15.679
 and for

00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:16.000
 me

00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:16.399
 and that

00:41:16.399 --> 00:41:17.039
 he

00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:18.000
 justifies

00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:18.299
 me

00:41:18.299 --> 00:41:18.599
 he

00:41:18.599 --> 00:41:19.039
 makes

00:41:19.039 --> 00:41:19.219
 me

00:41:19.219 --> 00:41:19.460
 right

00:41:19.460 --> 00:41:19.659
 with

00:41:19.659 --> 00:41:19.960
 God

00:41:19.960 --> 00:41:20.219
 he

00:41:20.219 --> 00:41:20.519
 knows

00:41:20.519 --> 00:41:20.879
 everything

00:41:20.879 --> 00:41:21.099
 about

00:41:21.099 --> 00:41:21.500
 and still

00:41:21.500 --> 00:41:21.659
 he

00:41:21.659 --> 00:41:21.919
 does

00:41:21.919 --> 00:41:22.119
 it

00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:22.739
 and for

00:41:22.739 --> 00:41:22.839
 me

00:41:22.839 --> 00:41:22.980
 to

00:41:22.980 --> 00:41:23.259
 believe

00:41:23.259 --> 00:41:23.779
 and trust

00:41:23.779 --> 00:41:24.139
 that

00:41:24.139 --> 00:41:24.779
 and put

00:41:24.779 --> 00:41:24.980
 my

00:41:24.980 --> 00:41:25.299
 hand

00:41:25.299 --> 00:41:25.460
 in

00:41:25.460 --> 00:41:25.899
 his

00:41:25.899 --> 00:41:29.199
 and then

00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:29.299
 I

00:41:29.299 --> 00:41:29.739
 learned to

00:41:29.739 --> 00:41:30.199
 follow him

00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:30.399
 but I

00:41:30.399 --> 00:41:30.779
 learned to

00:41:30.779 --> 00:41:31.319
 follow him

00:41:31.319 --> 00:41:31.639
 in the

00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:32.199
 context

00:41:32.199 --> 00:41:32.519
 of the

00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:32.739
