WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.520 I'd like you to turn in your Bibles this morning to John chapter 14. 00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:06.560 ! 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:37.240 And an activity in which there are more people engaged in its outcome than we may think. 00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:44.740 Generally, we think, well, the preacher is up front and my responsibilities kind of sit there and listen and whatever. 00:00:46.179 --> 00:00:57.799 I want to appeal to you that the Scriptures make it clear that one of the duties you have is to be actively engaged in the preaching of the Word by prayer. 00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.619 And I trust you're doing that. 00:01:02.140 --> 00:01:14.400 And I pray that in the flow of the sermon in those moments where you sense it is appropriate and necessary that you freely ask the Lord to help me and help you. 00:01:14.479 --> 00:01:22.239 Because we are both mutually dependent upon having the Word make a difference in the way we think. 00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:39.939 If I could, over the years of ministry, 35 plus now, if there were one thing, one thing, that I could give to believers. 00:01:39.939 --> 00:01:43.219 I'm not involved in salvation. 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:44.239 That's the work of God. 00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:45.420 And I don't save people. 00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:50.739 I love talking to people that don't know Jesus about the only one who can make a difference in their lives. 00:01:52.459 --> 00:01:55.979 But when I am ministering to those who do know Christ, 00:01:55.980 --> 00:02:05.640 and a large part of my life ministry has been with people who at least profess to know Christ, 00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:14.099 if there is one thing that I could give to them, it would be this, 00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:21.640 an understanding of the love of Christ for them. 00:02:25.979 --> 00:02:37.959 And we spend far too much time thinking about things that really don't connect to that truth. 00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:46.980 And I introduced that here at the very beginning because what we are actually engaged in doing 00:02:46.980 --> 00:02:54.120 is working our way through a passage in which we find the love of Christ displayed to us 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:59.240 in undeniable terms against the backdrop of the cross. 00:03:00.620 --> 00:03:05.240 Now, you and I, if we were going into a suffering like the cross, 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:11.040 probably we'd be obsessed with our self. 00:03:13.140 --> 00:03:15.460 And I can tell you this from personal experience. 00:03:17.219 --> 00:03:22.820 Spending time thinking too much about Tim Knoyer is not only destructive and toxic for me, 00:03:23.540 --> 00:03:26.560 it's invariably harmful to other people. 00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:27.820 How many of you would agree with me? 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:30.560 I mean, thinking about Tim Knoyer, right? 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.680 But kind of play it over. 00:03:36.900 --> 00:03:43.979 Here's Jesus in the shadow of the cross with one particular interest, 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:49.000 and that is the 11 who he's going to leave behind. 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:52.580 And he knows their hearts. 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:54.120 He knows what they're thinking. 00:03:55.860 --> 00:03:58.920 Can you imagine the mess of the disciples' hearts? 00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:02.659 On the one hand, they were bickering with each other. 00:04:02.899 --> 00:04:08.219 Their usual intramural team sport was arguing about who was going to be what? 00:04:09.139 --> 00:04:09.799 Number one. 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:11.599 That's what they were all about. 00:04:12.299 --> 00:04:16.439 But on the other hand, there's this certain level of anxiety, uncertainty about, 00:04:16.699 --> 00:04:17.539 well, what is going to happen? 00:04:17.579 --> 00:04:20.159 We've been following him for three years, and he's cutting out of here. 00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:21.259 He said it over and over again. 00:04:21.719 --> 00:04:22.779 And they're all worried. 00:04:22.779 --> 00:04:28.679 In John chapter 14, let not your hearts be troubled. 00:04:31.019 --> 00:04:32.339 I've got to tell you something. 00:04:35.139 --> 00:04:37.519 It is a conscious and deliberate choice 00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:43.019 that people who know Christ can make 00:04:43.019 --> 00:04:48.459 to have troubled hearts or not have troubled hearts. 00:04:48.459 --> 00:04:57.259 If we do believe that the same one who grants us salvation through faith 00:04:57.259 --> 00:05:00.279 can be trusted for other truths as well, 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:02.680 then there is something to be said 00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:07.419 for taking control of the way we think 00:05:07.419 --> 00:05:11.919 and framing our thought life in the picture of Scriptures. 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.900 So here is Jesus saying, 00:05:15.640 --> 00:05:18.360 let not your hearts be troubled, fact, 00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:24.160 but then he plays it out and gives us good reasons 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.360 not to be overwhelmed and troubled. 00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.139 And so in a broader look at the passage 00:05:31.139 --> 00:05:32.900 before we get into the details, 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:36.700 I want you to understand that in the early part of chapter 14, 00:05:37.139 --> 00:05:39.020 he deals with the fact that the disciples 00:05:39.019 --> 00:05:42.539 can look forward to a certain eternity. 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:47.939 Hey, I'm going to prepare a place for you. 00:05:48.699 --> 00:05:51.039 And if it weren't so, I wouldn't have told you. 00:05:51.299 --> 00:05:53.639 And I'm going there so you can what? 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:55.959 You can be with me. 00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:58.439 Does it get any better than that? 00:05:58.959 --> 00:05:59.159 Huh? 00:06:00.039 --> 00:06:01.740 I know how my story ends. 00:06:02.139 --> 00:06:06.299 I love Revelation chapter 4 and chapter 5. 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:08.199 I mean, that is a blast, isn't it? 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.139 You get into those two chapters 00:06:10.139 --> 00:06:12.019 and it kind of lifts your heart up. 00:06:12.099 --> 00:06:13.479 That's how the story ends. 00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:16.379 I am going to enjoy the presence of Christ forever. 00:06:16.819 --> 00:06:19.899 And you who know Christ are going to have the same delight. 00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:22.379 This morning as I was in prayer, 00:06:22.539 --> 00:06:26.019 I was looking forward to the time of worship with you. 00:06:27.740 --> 00:06:28.579 And here's what I thought. 00:06:29.699 --> 00:06:31.439 My wife says I'm a little maudlin 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:32.199 and a little bit too pessimistic. 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.599 I'm the glass half three quarters empty guy. 00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:37.079 That's my nature. 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:39.899 But there's a time that it fits. 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:40.539 And here I was. 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:42.180 I was in prayer and I was thinking, 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.079 Lord, I am going to enjoy worship 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.599 with other broken vessels like me. 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:53.659 And I thought, and it's going to be good. 00:06:55.259 --> 00:06:57.019 And I'm going to delight in it. 00:06:57.180 --> 00:06:59.180 And it is going to give me a taste 00:06:59.180 --> 00:07:01.000 of what heaven's going to be like. 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.259 And I'm looking forward to it. 00:07:04.339 --> 00:07:05.000 Are you? 00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:08.639 And here's Jesus saying, 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:13.019 Hey, guys, don't be bent out of shape. 00:07:13.420 --> 00:07:14.899 You've got a certain eternity. 00:07:15.459 --> 00:07:16.800 The second thing he says is, 00:07:17.100 --> 00:07:18.180 Hey, listen, understand. 00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:19.319 I'm with you. 00:07:19.459 --> 00:07:19.800 Okay? 00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:21.160 I'm with you. 00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:27.720 And his actual understanding 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:29.460 that he eventually is going to help 00:07:29.460 --> 00:07:31.400 the disciples find is that 00:07:31.400 --> 00:07:33.420 this business of him being with them 00:07:33.420 --> 00:07:35.360 is referring to the indwelling ministry 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:36.680 of the Holy Spirit. 00:07:36.780 --> 00:07:37.280 He says, listen, 00:07:37.440 --> 00:07:38.760 you're going to have union with me. 00:07:40.620 --> 00:07:42.100 Third thing he says is that, 00:07:42.300 --> 00:07:43.560 and you are going to be involved 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:45.420 in doing a great work. 00:07:45.420 --> 00:07:48.420 You're going to be involved 00:07:48.420 --> 00:07:50.220 in doing a great work. 00:07:50.520 --> 00:07:52.120 Now, how could that be comforting 00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:52.960 to the disciples? 00:07:54.780 --> 00:07:56.780 Do you understand that at the heart of it, 00:07:58.220 --> 00:07:59.960 we all have a sense, 00:08:00.460 --> 00:08:02.319 we all have a sense 00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:05.740 that we've been created 00:08:05.740 --> 00:08:07.800 and we're here for some reason 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:09.259 and we ought to be doing 00:08:09.259 --> 00:08:10.720 something of significance. 00:08:13.960 --> 00:08:14.960 What am I doing? 00:08:15.780 --> 00:08:16.840 Why am I here? 00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:19.120 What's this all about? 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:21.340 And here is Jesus speaking 00:08:21.340 --> 00:08:22.160 to his disciples 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.460 and what we're really going to look here 00:08:24.460 --> 00:08:26.480 in the passage that we study this morning 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:28.620 is that there's something going on 00:08:28.620 --> 00:08:30.700 that we are engaged in a great work 00:08:30.700 --> 00:08:33.360 and we have comfort in knowing 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:36.539 that we are at that task for his glory. 00:08:37.860 --> 00:08:39.399 And so as we look at this passage, 00:08:39.580 --> 00:08:42.240 I'm going to pick back up there in verse 12. 00:08:42.340 --> 00:08:42.560 It says, 00:08:42.560 --> 00:08:43.980 Truly, truly, I say to you, 00:08:43.980 --> 00:08:45.700 whoever believes in me 00:08:45.700 --> 00:08:48.340 will also do the works that I do 00:08:48.340 --> 00:08:51.200 and greater works than these 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:53.159 will he do. 00:08:53.159 --> 00:09:01.079 Have you ever been in a home 00:09:01.079 --> 00:09:04.120 where you looked around 00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:05.019 and you realized 00:09:05.019 --> 00:09:07.120 that someone had invested 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.620 a great amount of emotion 00:09:09.620 --> 00:09:10.899 and energy 00:09:10.899 --> 00:09:12.240 and resources 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.319 in putting it a particular way 00:09:14.319 --> 00:09:16.799 and it had all now collapsed into chaos? 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.759 I'll never forget. 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.259 How many of you know Mount Everest? 00:09:24.659 --> 00:09:25.759 You've heard Mount Everest. 00:09:26.659 --> 00:09:28.120 I'll never forget 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:29.859 when on a camping trip 00:09:29.859 --> 00:09:30.899 in Missouri, 00:09:31.319 --> 00:09:32.099 in India, 00:09:32.659 --> 00:09:36.099 about five of us spent three days 00:09:36.099 --> 00:09:38.799 on Lord Everest's 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:40.799 dilapidated, 00:09:41.079 --> 00:09:42.019 decaying, 00:09:42.579 --> 00:09:43.959 ruined estate 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:45.100 in India. 00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:49.240 He was the 00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:51.220 Lord's surveyor 00:09:51.220 --> 00:09:52.460 for all of 00:09:52.460 --> 00:09:53.440 the empire 00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:54.080 in India 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:55.759 and he had a 00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:57.340 palatial, 00:09:57.960 --> 00:09:59.680 gargantuan home 00:09:59.680 --> 00:10:00.360 built 00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:01.300 on the very 00:10:01.300 --> 00:10:02.019 crest 00:10:02.019 --> 00:10:02.940 of a mountain 00:10:02.940 --> 00:10:04.379 where from there 00:10:04.379 --> 00:10:05.379 on a clear day 00:10:05.379 --> 00:10:06.480 he could see 00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:07.460 Mount Everest. 00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:10.240 And before, 00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:11.160 of lasers 00:10:11.160 --> 00:10:12.000 and all those other 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:12.679 kinds of things, 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:14.620 he was able to compute 00:10:14.620 --> 00:10:16.419 within feet 00:10:16.419 --> 00:10:17.919 the height 00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:18.679 of that mountain. 00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:19.799 You can Google it 00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:20.679 to check on me. 00:10:22.580 --> 00:10:23.299 And here, 00:10:24.179 --> 00:10:25.100 we slept 00:10:25.100 --> 00:10:27.840 in these 00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:29.600 large, 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:31.059 some of the rooms 00:10:31.059 --> 00:10:31.440 were probably 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:32.500 half this size. 00:10:32.620 --> 00:10:33.960 They were huge. 00:10:35.379 --> 00:10:36.340 And I 00:10:36.340 --> 00:10:37.440 slept in a 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:38.340 sleeping bag 00:10:38.340 --> 00:10:39.440 in a 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:40.019 building 00:10:40.019 --> 00:10:40.600 that had 00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:41.759 belonged at one time 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:42.559 to a man 00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:43.080 who was 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:44.399 unbelievably 00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:45.179 respected 00:10:45.179 --> 00:10:46.059 in the empire. 00:10:47.299 --> 00:10:48.279 And he built 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:49.679 this wonderful 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:50.279 mansion. 00:10:52.019 --> 00:10:52.559 And there 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:53.600 I slept 00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:54.340 and looked around 00:10:54.340 --> 00:10:55.000 on the walls 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:55.519 and I saw 00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:56.100 the plaster 00:10:56.100 --> 00:10:56.960 falling off 00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:57.840 and there was 00:10:57.840 --> 00:10:58.360

00:15:18.779 hear these words, 00:15:19.459 --> 00:15:20.459 Jesus of Nazareth, 00:15:20.539 --> 00:15:21.340 a man attested 00:15:21.340 --> 00:15:22.299 to you by God 00:15:22.299 --> 00:15:23.459 with mighty works 00:15:23.459 --> 00:15:23.939 and wonders 00:15:23.939 --> 00:15:24.639 and signs that 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:25.759 God did through 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:26.879 him in your midst 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:27.659 as you yourselves 00:15:27.659 --> 00:15:28.039 know. 00:15:29.079 --> 00:15:29.679 This Jesus 00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:30.299 delivered up 00:15:30.299 --> 00:15:30.980 according to the 00:15:30.980 --> 00:15:31.659 definite plan 00:15:31.659 --> 00:15:32.319 and foreknowledge 00:15:32.319 --> 00:15:32.679 of God. 00:15:33.100 --> 00:15:33.799 You crucified

him up, 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:40.100 loosing the 00:15:40.100 --> 00:15:40.740 pangs of death 00:15:40.740 --> 00:15:41.319 because it was 00:15:41.319 --> 00:15:42.139 not possible 00:15:42.139 --> 00:15:43.299 for him to be 00:15:43.299 --> 00:15:44.259 held by it. 00:15:44.259 --> 00:15:46.120 And over there 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:47.700 in verse 34 00:15:47.700 --> 00:15:48.700 we read this. 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:50.559 For David 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:51.639 did not ascend 00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:52.240 into heavens 00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:53.559 but he himself 00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:53.939 says, 00:15:54.100 --> 00:15:54.620 the Lord said 00:15:54.620 --> 00:15:55.220 to my Lord, 00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:56.120 sit at my right 00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:57.080 hand till I 00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:58.379 make your enemies 00:15:58.379 --> 00:15:59.299 your footstool. 00:15:59.379 --> 00:15:59.860 Now here's the 00:15:59.860 --> 00:16:00.120 point. 00:16:00.419 --> 00:16:00.939 I want you to 00:16:00.939 --> 00:16:01.539 understand the 00:16:01.539 --> 00:16:02.000 fact of the 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:02.879 matter is we 00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:03.399 know how the 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:04.439 story ends and 00:16:04.439 --> 00:16:05.179 Jesus wins. 00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:07.379 I have to 00:16:07.379 --> 00:16:08.340 confess that I 00:16:08.340 --> 00:16:10.340 had a grossly 00:16:10.340 --> 00:16:11.419 inaccurate view 00:16:11.419 --> 00:16:12.379 of what would 00:16:12.379 --> 00:16:14.019 happen after the 00:16:14.019 --> 00:16:14.639 elections were 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:14.840 over. 00:16:14.939 --> 00:16:15.220 I thought 00:16:15.220 --> 00:16:15.779 everything kind 00:16:15.779 --> 00:16:16.139 of calmed 00:16:16.139 --> 00:16:16.379 down, 00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:16.939 everybody go 00:16:16.939 --> 00:16:17.439 back to their 00:16:17.439 --> 00:16:18.079 corners and 00:16:18.079 --> 00:16:19.639 it is worse. 00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:22.079 Truthfully, 00:16:22.539 --> 00:16:24.960 I am so glad 00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:25.519 that I know 00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:26.159 how the story 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:26.659 ends. 00:16:27.299 --> 00:16:28.480 And it is not 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:28.899 going to be 00:16:28.899 --> 00:16:29.919 solved in 00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:30.620 Washington. 00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:32.460 It is going to 00:16:32.460 --> 00:16:33.139 be solved when 00:16:33.139 --> 00:16:33.860 the Lord Jesus 00:16:33.860 --> 00:16:34.340 returns. 00:16:34.419 --> 00:16:34.860 And I had to 00:16:34.860 --> 00:16:35.360 stop and think 00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:35.799 to myself, 00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:36.159 you know, 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:37.419 I would imagine 00:16:37.419 --> 00:16:38.860 100 years ago, 00:16:39.019 --> 00:16:39.899 200 years ago, 00:16:40.079 --> 00:16:40.840 whatever the time 00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:42.220 was, it was just 00:16:42.220 --> 00:16:43.019 as messy ultimately 00:16:43.019 --> 00:16:43.699 because you have 00:16:43.699 --> 00:16:45.199 sinners in conflict 00:16:45.199 --> 00:16:45.960 with one another 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:47.699 in every situation. 00:16:49.779 --> 00:16:50.699 And so I want you 00:16:50.699 --> 00:16:51.279 to stop and 00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:52.199 recognize that the 00:16:52.199 --> 00:16:52.720 day is coming, 00:16:52.819 --> 00:16:53.419 that Jesus is 00:16:53.419 --> 00:16:54.120 coming back and 00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:54.720 we are on the 00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:55.559 victor's side and 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:56.379 that is a comfort 00:16:56.379 --> 00:16:57.659 and an encouragement 00:16:57.659 --> 00:16:58.539 to us. 00:16:59.620 --> 00:17:00.539 In addition to 00:17:00.539 --> 00:17:01.159 that, I want you 00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:01.819 to recognize, 00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:02.620 going back to the 00:17:02.620 --> 00:17:03.480 passage in John 00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:04.420 chapter 14, 00:17:05.900 --> 00:17:07.039 that what is 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:08.220 going on today 00:17:08.220 --> 00:17:10.940 is Jesus is 00:17:10.940 --> 00:17:12.180 interceding for 00:17:12.180 --> 00:17:12.539 us. 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:13.500 You look there 00:17:13.500 --> 00:17:15.259 and here's what 00:17:15.259 --> 00:17:15.799 he says. 00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:17.360 He says, 00:17:17.460 --> 00:17:18.019 I'm going to the 00:17:18.019 --> 00:17:18.680 Father, the last 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:19.620 part of verse 12, 00:17:20.120 --> 00:17:20.840 whatever you ask 00:17:20.840 --> 00:17:21.460 in my name, 00:17:21.539 --> 00:17:22.320 this I will do 00:17:22.320 --> 00:17:22.940 that the Father 00:17:22.940 --> 00:17:23.920 may be glorified 00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:24.500 in the Son. 00:17:24.580 --> 00:17:25.380 If you ask me 00:17:25.380 --> 00:17:26.279 anything in my 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:27.039 name, I will do 00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:27.200 it. 00:17:27.299 --> 00:17:27.720 Who's going to 00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:28.019 do it? 00:17:28.320 --> 00:17:28.620 Jesus. 00:17:28.860 --> 00:17:29.340 Who's going to 00:17:29.340 --> 00:17:29.559 do it? 00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:29.980 The Father. 00:17:30.080 --> 00:17:30.840 Why is he going 00:17:30.840 --> 00:17:31.480 to have it done? 00:17:31.700 --> 00:17:32.600 It is because he 00:17:32.600 --> 00:17:33.680 is

to 00:19:13.259 --> 00:19:14.560 help you think this 00:19:14.560 --> 00:19:16.460 through, I want you 00:19:16.460 --> 00:19:18.540 to recognize that it 00:19:18.540 --> 00:19:19.840 is important for us to 00:19:19.840 --> 00:19:20.920 put together several 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:21.759 different thoughts that 00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:22.259 flow here. 00:19:22.620 --> 00:19:23.280 You look there in 00:19:23.280 --> 00:19:24.019 verse 15. 00:19:24.840 --> 00:19:25.820 If you love me, you'll 00:19:25.820 --> 00:19:26.560 keep my commandments. 00:19:26.860 --> 00:19:27.620 Verse 21. 00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:29.240 Whoever has my 00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:30.280 commandments and keeps 00:19:30.280 --> 00:19:31.200 them, he it is who 00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:31.740 loves me. 00:19:31.900 --> 00:19:33.060 Verse 23. 00:19:36.360 --> 00:19:37.540 Jesus answered him, 00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:38.980 if anyone loves me, he 00:19:38.980 --> 00:19:39.980 will keep my word. 00:19:40.100 --> 00:19:40.980 Verse 24. 00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:42.920 Whoever does not love 00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:44.120 me does not keep my 00:19:44.120 --> 00:19:44.360 word. 00:19:44.460 --> 00:19:45.060 So do you get the 00:19:45.060 --> 00:19:45.340 picture? 00:19:45.900 --> 00:19:47.780 If you love me, what 00:19:47.780 --> 00:19:48.220 happens? 00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:50.080 You keep my 00:19:50.080 --> 00:19:50.440 commandments. 00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:52.580 Now incidentally, when 00:19:52.580 --> 00:19:53.700 we think about his 00:19:53.700 --> 00:19:56.259 commandments, we can 00:19:56.259 --> 00:19:57.540 sometimes think about 00:19:57.540 --> 00:19:58.660 his commandments as 00:19:58.660 --> 00:20:00.100 being burdensome, 00:20:00.100 --> 00:20:00.620 difficult, 00:20:00.619 --> 00:20:03.279 obligations that we 00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:03.959 kind of have to 00:20:03.959 --> 00:20:04.739 perform if we want 00:20:04.739 --> 00:20:05.419 the story to end 00:20:05.419 --> 00:20:05.659 well. 00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:06.679 Right? 00:20:07.859 --> 00:20:08.559 And there's an 00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:09.439 aspect to that which 00:20:09.439 --> 00:20:09.859 is true. 00:20:11.779 --> 00:20:12.859 Several years ago, I 00:20:12.859 --> 00:20:13.679 found out that having 00:20:13.679 --> 00:20:14.639 the brakes done on my 00:20:14.639 --> 00:20:15.419 car would cost me 00:20:15.419 --> 00:20:16.379 about $450. 00:20:17.439 --> 00:20:18.259 Have the pads 00:20:18.259 --> 00:20:18.759 changed? 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:20.680 And just being a little 00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:21.619 perverse, I thought that 00:20:21.619 --> 00:20:23.180 I would check and see 00:20:23.180 --> 00:20:24.599 what brake pads cost. 00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:26.079 Does anybody know that 00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:26.599 they're reasonably 00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:27.359 inexpensive? 00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:29.500 They're really kind of 00:20:29.500 --> 00:20:30.660 almost close to dirt 00:20:30.660 --> 00:20:31.059 cheap. 00:20:32.019 --> 00:20:32.900 And I thought to 00:20:32.900 --> 00:20:33.839 myself, why am I 00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:35.480 paying somebody else 00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:37.000 about $100 plus to do 00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:37.500 brake pads? 00:20:37.500 --> 00:20:39.220 I'd never done them 00:20:39.220 --> 00:20:39.519 before. 00:20:40.619 --> 00:20:41.740 But I am of the mind 00:20:41.740 --> 00:20:42.660 that if you can watch 00:20:42.660 --> 00:20:43.619 YouTube, you can do 00:20:43.619 --> 00:20:44.240 brain surgery. 00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:52.000 Not entirely true. 00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:52.859 Don't quote me. 00:20:55.940 --> 00:20:57.900 But, first of all, I got 00:20:57.900 --> 00:20:59.980 Dwayne Covert to coach me 00:20:59.980 --> 00:21:01.279 because I didn't want to 00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:02.440 take a dry run and end up 00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:03.240 in the ditch, you know. 00:21:03.299 --> 00:21:04.400 And so he kind of watched 00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:04.900 me through this. 00:21:04.900 --> 00:21:07.640 But I actually have tools 00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:08.680 now for doing brake pads 00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:09.300 and I do them for 00:21:09.300 --> 00:21:10.040 entire family. 00:21:10.180 --> 00:21:10.640 You know, it's like, 00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:11.700 is this hard to do? 00:21:11.780 --> 00:21:12.040 No. 00:21:13.120 --> 00:21:15.580 Just follow directions. 00:21:16.740 --> 00:21:17.440 Got to say that again 00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:17.680 slowly. 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:19.940 Just follow directions. 00:21:20.180 --> 00:21:20.780 Do you know that 00:21:20.780 --> 00:21:22.000 directions are actually 00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:22.880 good for you? 00:21:25.740 --> 00:21:26.900 And as we get older, 00:21:27.019 --> 00:21:28.540 we actually can learn 00:21:28.540 --> 00:21:29.740 some things. 00:21:31.320 --> 00:21:32.960 I am at the stage where 00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:34.519 before I decide I'm going 00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:36.879 to put a kit together 00:21:36.879 --> 00:21:38.019 or build, you know, 00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:38.460 whatever. 00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:41.259 I actually read the 00:21:41.259 --> 00:21:41.960 directions. 00:21:43.859 --> 00:21:44.879 Yeah, it's like, oh, 00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:47.299 you can teach an old dog 00:21:47.299 --> 00:21:48.139 new tricks, you know. 00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:49.379 Well, I've had so many 00:21:49.379 --> 00:21:50.960 times where I've had the 00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:52.180 parts over on the side 00:21:52.180 --> 00:21:53.279 that I didn't use and I 00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:53.960 didn't know what they were 00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:55.019 for until I discovered 00:21:55.019 --> 00:21:56.619 that it just didn't fit. 00:21:58.819 --> 00:22:00.039 So now here's the point. 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:04.259 We look at this statement. 00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:06.619 Okay, if you love me, you 00:22:06.619 --> 00:22:07.420 keep my commandments. 00:22:08.099 --> 00:22:09.240 And we tend to think about 00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:10.480 this and say, well, what is 00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:11.240 Christ doing here? 00:22:11.579 --> 00:22:12.879 Is he pointing to his 00:22:12.879 --> 00:22:14.480 disciples and saying, if 00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:16.059 you're really one of mine, 00:22:16.139 --> 00:22:16.680 you'll obey. 00:22:17.740 --> 00:22:19.680 And that has a ring of truth 00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:20.019 to it. 00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:23.639 But remember, when Jesus 00:22:23.639 --> 00:22:25.599 said this, he was not 00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:28.460 challenging his 11 remaining 00:22:28.460 --> 00:22:30.600 disciples as to the question 00:22:30.600 --> 00:22:31.920 of whether or not they 00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:32.420 were saved. 00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:33.319 What was he trying to do? 00:22:34.380 --> 00:22:35.620 He was trying to encourage 00:22:35.620 --> 00:22:35.900 them. 00:22:36.579 --> 00:22:37.500 He was trying to lift their 00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:38.220 spirits up. 00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:40.240 He was trying to say, if 00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:41.539 you just follow the YouTube 00:22:41.539 --> 00:22:43.720 directions, your breaks 00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:44.440 will work. 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:46.380 It'll work. 00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:47.480 Trust me. 00:22:50.059 --> 00:22:51.720 The things that I want, I'm 00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:52.960 not going to use the fancy 00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:55.539 Greek terms here, but you 00:22:55.539 --> 00:22:57.799 can take two little thoughts 00:22:57.799 --> 00:22:59.500 and if you want to write in 00:22:59.500 --> 00:23:01.059 your Bible, you can put 00:23:01.059 --> 00:23:02.919 condition and consequence. 00:23:03.779 --> 00:23:05.579 Condition goes over if you 00:23:05.579 --> 00:23:06.059 love me. 00:23:07.379 --> 00:23:09.799 Consequence goes over keep my 00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:10.259 commandments. 00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:14.119 Condition, consequence. 00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:18.019 And what we find in this 00:23:18.019 --> 00:23:20.059 passage is Jesus is driving 00:23:20.059 --> 00:23:24.240 home the logic that the fact 00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:26.859 of love in our lives will 00:23:26.859 --> 00:23:29.500 bring us to obedience and 00:23:29.500 --> 00:23:31.720 obedience will help us do 00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:32.880 great things. 00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:36.980 Let me have you see this in a 00:23:36.980 --> 00:23:39.740 very similar pattern over in 00:23:39.740 --> 00:23:40.940 John chapter 21. 00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:42.140 Turn there, if you will, just 00:23:42.140 --> 00:23:42.519 for a moment. 00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:44.180 John chapter 21, not very far 00:23:44.180 --> 00:23:44.500 away. 00:23:47.460 --> 00:23:48.980 Can I tell you that in John 00:23:48.980 --> 00:23:50.640 chapter 21, verse 15 through 00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:52.920 18, we have a passage where I 00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:54.680 am convinced that Jesus is not 00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:57.380 testing Peter's love. 00:24:00.560 --> 00:24:01.920 When they'd finished breakfast, 00:24:02.100 --> 00:24:03.279 Jesus said to Simon Peter, 00:24:03.420 --> 00:24:05.759 Simon, son of John, do you love 00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:06.920 me more than these? 00:24:07.700 --> 00:24:09.140 He said, yes, Lord, you know 00:24:09.140 --> 00:24:09.720 that I love you. 00:24:09.779 --> 00:24:10.960 Did Jesus know that he actually 00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:11.340 loved him? 00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:11.940 What's the answer? 00:24:12.800 --> 00:24:13.440 He did. 00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:16.640 Jesus knew. 00:24:17.980 --> 00:24:19.300 And he says, well, okay, feed 00:24:19.300 --> 00:24:19.860 my lambs. 00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:21.100 He said to him a second time, 00:24:21.180 --> 00:24:22.500 Simon, son of John, do you love 00:24:22.500 --> 00:24:22.660 me? 00:24:22.900 --> 00:24:24.400 He said, yes, Lord, you know 00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:25.000 that I love you. 00:24:25.059 --> 00:24:26.140 He said, tend my sheep. 00:24:26.660 --> 00:24:27.980 He said to him a third time, 00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:29.420 Simon, son of John, do you love 00:24:29.420 --> 00:24:29.559 me? 00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:31.440 Peter was grieved because he 00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:32.599 said to him a third time, do you 00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:32.940 love me? 00:24:33.220 --> 00:24:34.619 And he said to him, Lord, you know 00:24:34.619 --> 00:24:35.480 everything, right? 00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:36.259 You got it. 00:24:36.539 --> 00:24:37.119 Yes, you do. 00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:38.680 You know that I love you. 00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:41.000 Jesus said, feed my sheep. 00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:42.279 Condition. 00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:44.059 I love him. 00:24:45.819 --> 00:24:46.180 Consequence. 00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:47.539 I obey him. 00:24:48.740 --> 00:24:50.079 Let me drive that home for you 00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:51.539 because sometimes this morning I 00:24:51.539 --> 00:24:53.299 think we get lost in the facts 00:24:53.299 --> 00:24:57.099 that, you know, the truth of the 00:24:57.099 --> 00:24:58.619 matter is, is I have a tendency 00:24:58.619 --> 00:25:00.579 to sometimes think that the 00:25:00.579 --> 00:25:02.019 commandments he gives are 00:25:02.019 --> 00:25:02.879 burdensome. 00:25:03.439 --> 00:25:06.439 They kind of, they interfere with 00:25:06.439 --> 00:25:07.119 what I want. 00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:11.019 But it goes back to doing breaks. 00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:15.099 If you don't follow his 00:25:15.099 --> 00:25:17.099 instructions and all of them are 00:25:17.099 --> 00:25:17.359 good. 00:25:17.419 --> 00:25:18.460 Would you agree with that in 00:25:18.460 --> 00:25:18.740 theory? 00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:19.660 Just say with me. 00:25:19.940 --> 00:25:20.579 Yeah, in theory. 00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:23.740 In theory, what God tells me is 00:25:23.740 --> 00:25:25.420 actually, now don't anybody send 00:25:25.420 --> 00:25:26.660 me an email because I'm using a 00:25:26.660 --> 00:25:27.660 little bit of sarcasm here. 00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:29.640 So just get this point, okay? 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:31.519 When God tells us to do 00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:32.720 something, it's good. 00:25:33.019 --> 00:25:33.640 Why is it good? 00:25:33.700 --> 00:25:35.079 Because he's good. 00:25:36.340 --> 00:25:38.720 So when it says, if you love me, 00:25:38.900 --> 00:25:41.059 keep my commandments, the purpose 00:25:41.059 --> 00:25:43.240 of that instruction is this. 00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:47.599 So that as we obey him, we will do 00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:48.400 good works. 00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:51.059 We'll accomplish great things. 00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:53.819 We'll be involved in doing things 00:25:53.819 --> 00:25:55.420 that in the rear view mirror we look 00:25:55.420 --> 00:25:57.720 back and say, wow, how did that 00:25:57.720 --> 00:25:58.039 happen? 00:25:58.120 --> 00:26:00.839 It was me following his counsel, 00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:03.079 obeying him, and enjoying the outcome 00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:04.400 as the result of that. 00:26:05.120 --> 00:26:06.839 So let's kind of work this through to 00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:07.680 place it in our mind. 00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:09.840 Our love produces obedience. 00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:14.820 And that's how he is glorified and 00:26:14.820 --> 00:26:16.140 how we do great things. 00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:19.860 Great works on our part, let me have 00:26:19.860 --> 00:26:22.500 you understand this, never happen 00:26:22.500 --> 00:26:24.120 apart from obeying him. 00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:28.160 Great works on our part never happen 00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:29.560 apart from obeying him. 00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:36.779 You know, sometimes we're all cut up 00:26:36.779 --> 00:26:39.000 and fantasizing what it would be like 00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:40.319 to do great things for God. 00:26:41.220 --> 00:26:46.740 Oh, I would like to see drug addicts 00:26:46.740 --> 00:26:47.079 saved. 00:26:48.419 --> 00:26:52.319 I'd like to be involved in bringing the 00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:54.700 gospel to people whose lives are really 00:26:54.700 --> 00:26:55.200 messy. 00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:59.059 I'd like to help draw homeless people 00:26:59.059 --> 00:27:00.259 out from under the bridge. 00:27:01.299 --> 00:27:02.779 Those are all good things. 00:27:03.340 --> 00:27:04.160 They really are. 00:27:05.840 --> 00:27:07.259 But you're not going to make it out of 00:27:07.259 --> 00:27:09.340 kindergarten if you're not willing to 00:27:09.340 --> 00:27:11.100 obey in the things he's already put on 00:27:11.100 --> 00:27:12.460 the plate in front of you right now. 00:27:15.080 --> 00:27:16.500 You're a little bit like the farmer who 00:27:16.500 --> 00:27:18.279 loved the idea of a good harvest, but he 00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:19.819 really didn't like the idea of getting 00:27:19.819 --> 00:27:22.059 out in the morning and doing the fields 00:27:22.059 --> 00:27:23.940 and caring for the responsibilities that 00:27:23.940 --> 00:27:24.460 go with it. 00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:27.360 I got to make this point clear. 00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:29.340 There is a connection between the seeds 00:27:29.340 --> 00:27:31.299 of obedience that we sow and the fruit 00:27:31.299 --> 00:27:32.660 of blessings that we reap. 00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:39.819 On the face of it, obedience is actually 00:27:39.819 --> 00:27:41.620 harder than we'd like to admit. 00:27:41.740 --> 00:27:42.460 Wouldn't you agree with that? 00:27:42.600 --> 00:27:44.059 I mean, truth of the matter is, is every 00:27:44.059 --> 00:27:46.019 one of us here, we have a problem on a 00:27:46.019 --> 00:27:47.920 regular basis with obedience in our 00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:48.220 life. 00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:50.140 How many of you have kind of struggled 00:27:50.140 --> 00:27:51.620 with something that the Lord's been 00:27:51.620 --> 00:27:53.019 drawing to your attention? 00:27:53.019 --> 00:27:54.160 Well, not right now. 00:27:55.180 --> 00:27:57.900 I don't want to do it because so-and-so, 00:27:58.059 --> 00:27:59.599 you know, we've got all kinds of reasons. 00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:00.740 I come to the third point. 00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:03.059 Great works happen through the enabling 00:28:03.059 --> 00:28:04.059 of the Spirit of God. 00:28:05.740 --> 00:28:07.879 Remember, Jesus is encouraging his 00:28:07.879 --> 00:28:09.779 disciples, I'm leaving. 00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:14.160 Don't be worried because the story ends 00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:15.339 well and you're going to be with me. 00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:18.240 And by the way, in the intermediate time, 00:28:18.299 --> 00:28:19.519 you're going to do some phenomenal 00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:21.039 things, you're going to be involved in 00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:22.579 something unbelievable. 00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:24.240 How's that? 00:28:24.879 --> 00:28:26.240 Well, you're going to obey my word. 00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:28.180 And how's that? 00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:30.319 Through the enabling of the Holy Spirit. 00:28:30.980 --> 00:28:32.079 Look at verse 16. 00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:35.160 And I will ask the Father and he will 00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:38.259 give you another helper to be with you 00:28:38.259 --> 00:28:39.119 forever. 00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:45.259 Now remember, the disciples were pretty 00:28:45.259 --> 00:28:50.000 troubled because they were beginning to get 00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:52.140 the idea that Jesus was going to be 00:28:52.140 --> 00:28:54.839 crucified and he was leaving them. 00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:59.400 And here is Jesus saying, listen, I'm 00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:00.319 going to be going away. 00:29:01.099 --> 00:29:03.240 And you can understand their anxiety and 00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:05.539 their uncertainty and their concern for 00:29:05.539 --> 00:29:07.140 what their future was going to be like. 00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:09.619 And here is Jesus saying to them, you're 00:29:09.619 --> 00:29:10.879 going to have another helper. 00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:15.300 Now the word another is a word in the 00:29:15.300 --> 00:29:16.820 Greek, I'm not going to dive into it, but 00:29:16.820 --> 00:29:18.700 there's a couple different words that are 00:29:18.700 --> 00:29:19.300 used in Greek. 00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:20.780 Another can be like different. 00:29:21.460 --> 00:29:23.600 Or another can be just the same. 00:29:24.660 --> 00:29:26.580 And here is Jesus saying that you're 00:29:26.580 --> 00:29:28.700 going to have another helper just like 00:29:28.700 --> 00:29:31.620 me who is going to be with you and his 00:29:31.620 --> 00:29:34.880 role is going to be to be your helper. 00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:38.420 Now it's very interesting and we'll get to 00:29:38.420 --> 00:29:39.980 this later in our preaching through the 00:29:39.980 --> 00:29:40.500 book of John. 00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:42.680 I don't know if Pastor Shearer gets to 00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:43.680 do this or I do. 00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:46.259 Well, it's John chapter 16 verse 7. 00:29:46.420 --> 00:29:47.240 Look at it just for a moment. 00:29:48.259 --> 00:29:50.299 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth, it is 00:29:50.299 --> 00:29:52.640 for your advantage that I go away. 00:29:53.539 --> 00:29:55.880 For if I do not go away, the helper will 00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:56.799 not come to you. 00:29:57.720 --> 00:29:58.819 Hey, try that. 00:30:01.220 --> 00:30:03.400 It's actually going to be better for you 00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:04.200 if I'm out of here. 00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:06.839 What? 00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:10.959 Here's Jesus back in 14. 00:30:13.039 --> 00:30:17.599 He says, I want you to understand that the 00:30:17.599 --> 00:30:20.059 Father is going to give you the helper to be 00:30:20.059 --> 00:30:20.779 with you forever. 00:30:20.959 --> 00:30:23.079 Even the spirit of truth, verse 17, whom 00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:24.879 the world cannot receive because it neither 00:30:24.879 --> 00:30:25.859 sees him or knows him. 00:30:26.399 --> 00:30:28.240 You know him for he dwells with you and 00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:29.379 will be in you. 00:30:30.220 --> 00:30:33.159 I will not leave you orphans. 00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:35.320 I will come to you. 00:30:36.340 --> 00:30:39.100 Now, I want you to understand that what Jesus 00:30:39.100 --> 00:30:42.180 was encouraging the disciples to recognize 00:30:42.180 --> 00:30:47.740 is that after he left, we would receive the 00:30:47.740 --> 00:30:51.360 Holy Spirit and the indwelling spirit is 00:30:51.360 --> 00:30:55.820 profoundly significant to the spiritual life. 00:30:56.460 --> 00:30:57.259 Would you agree with me? 00:30:57.259 --> 00:31:04.279 Let me put it this way. 00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:10.099 The amount of attention to you that you give to 00:31:10.099 --> 00:31:12.220 living a spiritual life 00:31:12.220 --> 00:31:20.680 is paired, is coupled to your sensitivity to the need 00:31:20.680 --> 00:31:21.660 of the Holy Spirit. 00:31:23.259 --> 00:31:24.319 Does that make sense? 00:31:24.799 --> 00:31:25.579 Do you follow what I'm saying? 00:31:25.579 --> 00:31:25.639 Do you follow what I'm saying? 00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:34.299 You cannot live a spiritually productive life apart 00:31:34.299 --> 00:31:36.500 from the enabling of the Spirit of God. 00:31:39.319 --> 00:31:44.740 And my sensitivity to living a spiritual life leads me 00:31:44.740 --> 00:31:48.159 to have a desperate dependence upon the Holy Spirit. 00:31:49.859 --> 00:31:53.480 And here is Jesus saying to his disciples, you guys are 00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:54.839 going to knock it out of the park. 00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:57.839 I mean, you guys are going to be involved in witnessing 00:31:58.399 --> 00:31:59.379 and sharing the gospel. 00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:01.319 In fact, later in the book of Acts, it says, 00:32:01.740 --> 00:32:04.659 the men who have turned the world upside down are here? 00:32:05.939 --> 00:32:06.240 Huh? 00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:10.980 I got to tell you. 00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:18.279 The best news in the world 00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:21.839 is not material. 00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:22.240 It's spiritual. 00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:23.899 It's spiritual. 00:32:25.899 --> 00:32:30.779 No amount of money can solve the problem of the darkness of a person's heart. 00:32:30.879 --> 00:32:31.660 Do you understand that? 00:32:31.660 --> 00:32:36.220 And apart from the enabling of the Spirit of God, 00:32:37.220 --> 00:32:38.820 nothing can change a man. 00:32:39.560 --> 00:32:41.580 And here's Jesus saying, you know, 00:32:41.800 --> 00:32:45.620 your great works are going to flow out through the gift of the Holy Spirit. 00:32:45.619 --> 00:32:48.779 Now, in relationship to that, 00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:50.619 Jesus makes that statement in verse 18. 00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:51.039 He says, 00:32:51.479 --> 00:32:53.699 And I'm not going to leave you as orphans. 00:32:54.699 --> 00:32:56.339 I'm not going to leave you as orphans. 00:32:57.719 --> 00:32:59.119 The fact of the matter is, 00:32:59.139 --> 00:33:01.500 is that he is going to be in us 00:33:01.500 --> 00:33:03.319 and he is going to make his home with us. 00:33:03.399 --> 00:33:04.319 Look at verse 20. 00:33:05.099 --> 00:33:07.239 In that day, you will know that I am in the Father 00:33:07.239 --> 00:33:09.500 and you in me and I in you. 00:33:09.500 --> 00:33:13.000 So, where's the Holy Spirit today? 00:33:17.099 --> 00:33:17.799 He's in me. 00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:21.119 That is a great blessing 00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:23.799 and an undeniable truth. 00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:24.519 Now, 00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:27.740 does that mean that I kind of just walk around 00:33:27.740 --> 00:33:30.519 under the Holy Spirit's control constantly? 00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:31.400 No. 00:33:33.140 --> 00:33:35.900 Because I can be disobedient to the Holy Spirit 00:33:35.900 --> 00:33:36.740 and I can what? 00:33:37.539 --> 00:33:38.440 I can grieve him. 00:33:39.500 --> 00:33:42.940 He is there to prompt, 00:33:43.059 --> 00:33:43.740 to encourage me. 00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:45.380 One of the passages that I love 00:33:45.380 --> 00:33:47.559 is in Galatians 5, verse 16. 00:33:48.619 --> 00:33:49.839 Walk by the Spirit. 00:33:49.940 --> 00:33:50.980 Can anybody finish it for me? 00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:52.460 And you will, 00:33:52.579 --> 00:33:52.880 what? 00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:55.700 Not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. 00:33:56.099 --> 00:33:58.200 So, when you're struggling with covetousness 00:33:58.200 --> 00:33:59.500 or you're struggling with lust 00:33:59.500 --> 00:34:00.859 or you're struggling with anger, 00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:01.920 does anybody have anger issues? 00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:05.500 Does anybody struggle with lust? 00:34:06.140 --> 00:34:07.859 Everybody pops their hands up all over the place. 00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:08.420 I saw that. 00:34:08.420 --> 00:34:08.940 You know, it's like, 00:34:09.139 --> 00:34:10.559 does anybody struggle with covetousness? 00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:11.820 Everybody's raising their hands. 00:34:11.900 --> 00:34:11.980 You know, 00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:12.700 yeah, yeah, yeah, 00:34:12.700 --> 00:34:13.380 I'm one of those. 00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:15.639 Listen to me. 00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:18.019 Walk by the Spirit 00:34:18.019 --> 00:34:18.619 and you, 00:34:18.860 --> 00:34:20.680 you have a shot. 00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:22.980 Maybe you can pull it off. 00:34:22.980 --> 00:34:24.680 You will not 00:34:24.680 --> 00:34:26.240 fulfill 00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:28.419 the lusts of the flesh. 00:34:31.699 --> 00:34:33.219 One of the reasons 00:34:33.219 --> 00:34:38.319 many Christians live such ineffective 00:34:38.319 --> 00:34:39.959 and unhappy lives 00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:46.840 is because they do not appreciate 00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:49.079 and appropriate the blessing 00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:50.780 of the indwelling Holy Spirit. 00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:54.340 Here's Jesus 00:34:54.340 --> 00:34:56.220 saying, 00:34:56.360 --> 00:34:56.500 listen, 00:34:56.579 --> 00:34:57.440 I want you to understand 00:34:57.440 --> 00:35:00.099 that the indwelling Holy Spirit 00:35:00.099 --> 00:35:01.860 is there for you 00:35:01.860 --> 00:35:04.639 and He stays in the New Testament believer 00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:05.839 and He's not going to leave us. 00:35:07.799 --> 00:35:09.779 He will be with you forever. 00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:11.920 So, 00:35:12.099 --> 00:35:13.279 in the face of carrying on 00:35:13.279 --> 00:35:15.019 the challenge of ministry 00:35:15.019 --> 00:35:16.980 in the face of Christ's crucifixion 00:35:16.980 --> 00:35:18.659 and His return to the Father, 00:35:18.779 --> 00:35:20.239 what Jesus says to His disciples 00:35:20.239 --> 00:35:20.739 is this, 00:35:21.099 --> 00:35:22.259 I want you to be of good comfort. 00:35:22.379 --> 00:35:23.179 I want you to know this. 00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:24.179 It's going to work out well. 00:35:24.420 --> 00:35:24.759 Why? 00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:27.259 Because you have the indwelling ministry 00:35:27.259 --> 00:35:28.059 of the Holy Spirit. 00:35:28.279 --> 00:35:29.039 He is in you 00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:29.960 to help you. 00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:30.360 Now, 00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:33.699 there are some essential questions 00:35:33.699 --> 00:35:35.420 that linger in the back of our minds 00:35:35.420 --> 00:35:36.220 from time to time. 00:35:36.679 --> 00:35:36.840 You know, 00:35:36.880 --> 00:35:37.980 we ask ourselves the question, 00:35:38.059 --> 00:35:38.619 where am I going? 00:35:38.699 --> 00:35:39.980 And the answer for the believer is, 00:35:40.260 --> 00:35:40.539 what? 00:35:41.460 --> 00:35:42.280 I'm going to heaven. 00:35:43.300 --> 00:35:44.059 You betcha. 00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:46.780 I remember talking with a neighbor 00:35:46.780 --> 00:35:49.079 and strangely enough, 00:35:49.139 --> 00:35:50.179 we got on this conversation 00:35:50.179 --> 00:35:51.300 about how the story ends 00:35:51.300 --> 00:35:52.639 and I said, 00:35:53.019 --> 00:35:53.820 I'm going to heaven. 00:35:55.300 --> 00:35:55.699 What? 00:35:56.139 --> 00:35:56.960 How can you be sure? 00:35:59.240 --> 00:35:59.860 I said, 00:35:59.860 --> 00:36:00.079 well, 00:36:00.099 --> 00:36:01.380 it has nothing to do with me. 00:36:01.620 --> 00:36:03.220 I am not the hero in my story, 00:36:03.300 --> 00:36:03.579 right? 00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:06.120 It has to do with Jesus. 00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:09.320 He died and forgave all of my sins. 00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:11.880 I'm going to heaven. 00:36:13.140 --> 00:36:14.059 So you ask yourself, 00:36:14.160 --> 00:36:14.860 how's the story end? 00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:15.420 Where am I going? 00:36:15.500 --> 00:36:16.140 I'm going to heaven. 00:36:18.140 --> 00:36:19.820 And who really cares about me? 00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:20.519 I mean, 00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:20.720 you know, 00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:22.200 we don't want to admit that publicly, 00:36:22.420 --> 00:36:23.740 but we really do 00:36:23.740 --> 00:36:25.120 have a concern 00:36:25.120 --> 00:36:26.099 for who cares about us. 00:36:26.180 --> 00:36:26.280 I mean, 00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:26.680 am I right? 00:36:27.099 --> 00:36:27.320 Come on. 00:36:28.460 --> 00:36:29.000 Anybody out there 00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:29.640 want to nod their head 00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:30.539 just make me feel a little better? 00:36:31.259 --> 00:36:31.539 Yeah. 00:36:33.299 --> 00:36:33.619 Yeah. 00:36:36.379 --> 00:36:37.420 There's this better song 00:36:37.420 --> 00:36:37.859 than the one, 00:36:37.940 --> 00:36:38.639 Jesus loves me, 00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:39.339 this I know. 00:36:40.019 --> 00:36:40.319 Right? 00:36:42.099 --> 00:36:43.579 Because Romans tells me so. 00:36:45.980 --> 00:36:46.299 Well, 00:36:46.359 --> 00:36:47.039 you can add Ephesians 00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:47.619 to that one too 00:36:47.619 --> 00:36:48.379 and you can add John. 00:36:48.380 --> 00:36:49.380 but you know, 00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:54.340 how can I do 00:36:54.340 --> 00:36:55.460 what I should? 00:36:59.059 --> 00:37:00.619 He answered all those questions 00:37:00.619 --> 00:37:01.800 for his disciples. 00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:04.940 I will never leave you 00:37:04.940 --> 00:37:05.640 or forsake you. 00:37:06.720 --> 00:37:08.320 I will be with you always. 00:37:09.680 --> 00:37:11.260 And you will have the blessing 00:37:11.260 --> 00:37:12.079 of the Holy Spirit 00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:12.960 who indwells you, 00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:14.000 who will enable you 00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:15.180 to do the things 00:37:15.179 --> 00:37:17.000 that he calls you 00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:17.839 to do. 00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:23.159 So, 00:37:23.960 --> 00:37:26.699 let me have you recognize 00:37:26.699 --> 00:37:27.399 several truths 00:37:27.399 --> 00:37:28.119 to hold on to. 00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:29.219 You can know 00:37:29.219 --> 00:37:30.899 where you will spend eternity. 00:37:32.579 --> 00:37:33.699 I know where I'm going 00:37:33.699 --> 00:37:34.259 when I die. 00:37:36.019 --> 00:37:37.480 I wonder if you do. 00:37:38.279 --> 00:37:39.119 It's a concern. 00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:41.139 I have to tell you 00:37:41.139 --> 00:37:42.759 that over the years 00:37:42.759 --> 00:37:44.299 I've seen people 00:37:44.299 --> 00:37:46.500 who have sat 00:37:46.500 --> 00:37:49.259 under the faithful teaching 00:37:49.259 --> 00:37:50.400 of the word of God 00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:51.400 for decades, 00:37:52.179 --> 00:37:54.440 who've had something happen 00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:55.199 and just turned 00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:55.960 their heart off 00:37:55.960 --> 00:37:57.579 and hardened themselves 00:37:57.579 --> 00:37:58.179 to the point 00:37:58.179 --> 00:37:59.839 of being an absolute 00:37:59.839 --> 00:38:00.940 embittered, 00:38:01.179 --> 00:38:01.699 angry, 00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:03.299 unhappy individual 00:38:03.299 --> 00:38:05.699 whose life is trashed. 00:38:05.699 --> 00:38:09.960 I've got to tell you 00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:14.519 that's not the general pattern 00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:15.099 for a person 00:38:15.099 --> 00:38:15.899 who knows Christ. 00:38:17.239 --> 00:38:18.359 And if you are here 00:38:18.359 --> 00:38:18.919 this morning 00:38:18.919 --> 00:38:20.279 and you do not know Christ, 00:38:20.379 --> 00:38:21.059 let me tell you, 00:38:21.419 --> 00:38:22.599 the issue of the gospel 00:38:22.599 --> 00:38:23.059 is this, 00:38:23.099 --> 00:38:23.699 is you can know 00:38:23.699 --> 00:38:24.239 for certain 00:38:24.239 --> 00:38:25.119 where you're going 00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:25.739 to spend eternity 00:38:25.739 --> 00:38:26.579 and that's an answer 00:38:26.579 --> 00:38:27.739 you need to reconcile. 00:38:29.019 --> 00:38:29.960 Second thing is this, 00:38:30.299 --> 00:38:31.139 you can be assured 00:38:31.139 --> 00:38:31.939 of his presence. 00:38:33.399 --> 00:38:34.319 You can be assured 00:38:34.319 --> 00:38:34.919 of his presence. 00:38:36.179 --> 00:38:37.139 How many of you know 00:38:37.139 --> 00:38:37.899 that we do better 00:38:37.899 --> 00:38:38.539 when other people 00:38:38.539 --> 00:38:39.199 are around us 00:38:39.199 --> 00:38:40.599 that have leverage 00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:41.719 and a little bit of teeth? 00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:43.239 Do you follow that? 00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:47.859 Christ in you, 00:38:48.259 --> 00:38:49.019 the hope of glory. 00:38:50.139 --> 00:38:51.899 We can count on Christ 00:38:51.899 --> 00:38:52.859 to be there. 00:38:53.179 --> 00:38:54.219 I know he is with me 00:38:54.219 --> 00:38:55.219 in this journey of life. 00:38:55.299 --> 00:38:56.139 He will never leave me 00:38:56.139 --> 00:38:56.960 nor forsake me. 00:38:57.379 --> 00:38:57.939 And then finally, 00:38:58.079 --> 00:38:58.739 you can be assured 00:38:58.739 --> 00:38:59.319 of his help. 00:39:00.699 --> 00:39:01.480 You can be assured 00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:01.939 of his help. 00:39:03.460 --> 00:39:04.299 Can I tell you 00:39:04.300 --> 00:39:07.060 that one of the difficulties 00:39:07.060 --> 00:39:08.720 in evangelism 00:39:08.720 --> 00:39:10.900 is that people 00:39:10.900 --> 00:39:11.600 have a tendency 00:39:11.600 --> 00:39:13.340 of getting the cart 00:39:13.340 --> 00:39:14.300 before the horse. 00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:15.980 What do I mean by that? 00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:17.580 I mean, it's like, 00:39:18.420 --> 00:39:19.780 I don't know. 00:39:19.900 --> 00:39:20.820 I don't know 00:39:20.820 --> 00:39:21.860 how I'm ever going 00:39:21.860 --> 00:39:22.840 to stop being 00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:24.039 an obsessive, 00:39:24.200 --> 00:39:24.940 self-centered, 00:39:25.200 --> 00:39:25.780 unhappy, 00:39:26.400 --> 00:39:26.840 angry, 00:39:27.080 --> 00:39:28.420 embittered person. 00:39:28.620 --> 00:39:29.840 That's all I know. 00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:34.460 How can I solve 00:39:34.460 --> 00:39:35.039 that problem? 00:39:36.300 --> 00:39:36.600 Well, 00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:37.940 if you're a believer, 00:39:38.340 --> 00:39:39.720 you have the enabling 00:39:39.720 --> 00:39:40.720 of the Holy Spirit 00:39:40.720 --> 00:39:41.820 who is in you. 00:39:43.340 --> 00:39:44.380 I love to say, 00:39:44.460 --> 00:39:45.280 and you who know me 00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:46.120 have heard me say it 00:39:46.120 --> 00:39:47.200 so many times, 00:39:47.980 --> 00:39:48.920 you don't have to stay 00:39:48.920 --> 00:39:49.660 the way you are. 00:39:50.579 --> 00:39:51.640 That's pretty good news, 00:39:51.700 --> 00:39:51.980 isn't it? 00:39:52.820 --> 00:39:53.860 You don't have to stay 00:39:53.860 --> 00:39:54.700 the way you are. 00:39:54.699 --> 00:39:55.980 Well, 00:39:57.839 --> 00:39:59.239 no. 00:40:00.859 --> 00:40:02.019 What did Jesus say? 00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:06.239 He will give you 00:40:06.239 --> 00:40:07.039 another helper 00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:08.419 who will be with you 00:40:08.419 --> 00:40:09.059 forever. 00:40:12.299 --> 00:40:13.480 So let me push it together. 00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:17.139 If Jesus loved 00:40:17.139 --> 00:40:19.039 his 11 little disciples 00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:19.679 who were huddled 00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:20.539 in that upper room 00:40:20.539 --> 00:40:21.419 and were very anxious 00:40:21.419 --> 00:40:22.980 about their certain future, 00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:24.279 and he gave them 00:40:24.280 --> 00:40:25.160 this great comfort, 00:40:25.500 --> 00:40:26.340 and it was good enough 00:40:26.340 --> 00:40:27.300 for them, right, 00:40:27.820 --> 00:40:29.900 to live victorious, 00:40:30.940 --> 00:40:32.880 profitable lives. 00:40:32.980 --> 00:40:33.380 And by the way, 00:40:33.420 --> 00:40:34.200 how'd they all end up? 00:40:35.040 --> 00:40:35.880 They had retirement homes 00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:36.300 in Florida. 00:40:38.740 --> 00:40:39.640 They got a motor home. 00:40:39.720 --> 00:40:40.200 They spent the rest 00:40:40.200 --> 00:40:40.920 of their life driving around. 00:40:41.220 --> 00:40:42.000 How'd they die? 00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:44.440 Only one of them 00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:46.860 died of old age. 00:40:47.140 --> 00:40:47.840 The rest of them, 00:40:50.720 --> 00:40:52.080 they went out in glory. 00:40:52.220 --> 00:40:52.640 Isn't that right? 00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:56.720 If you're here this morning, 00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:00.920 Jesus loves you, 00:41:01.500 --> 00:41:02.940 and he has called you 00:41:02.940 --> 00:41:04.180 to be engaged 00:41:04.180 --> 00:41:05.660 in a great work 00:41:05.660 --> 00:41:07.340 of eternal significance, 00:41:07.340 --> 00:41:07.620 obedience. 00:41:10.120 --> 00:41:12.160 And you don't have 00:41:12.160 --> 00:41:13.000 to do it 00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:13.960 by yourself. 00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:16.820 Let's close in prayer. 00:41:20.820 --> 00:41:21.680 Our Father God, 00:41:21.740 --> 00:41:22.180 this morning, 00:41:22.300 --> 00:41:22.900 as we think about 00:41:22.900 --> 00:41:23.940 the Lord Jesus Christ, 00:41:24.019 --> 00:41:24.579 our Savior, 00:41:24.740 --> 00:41:25.519 and our Master, 00:41:26.220 --> 00:41:27.380 the one who someday 00:41:27.380 --> 00:41:28.140 we will see 00:41:28.140 --> 00:41:28.840 and someday 00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:30.200 enjoy forever 00:41:30.200 --> 00:41:30.740 in heaven, 00:41:30.739 --> 00:41:33.139 we recognize 00:41:33.139 --> 00:41:33.939 that the enemy 00:41:33.939 --> 00:41:34.679 of our souls 00:41:34.679 --> 00:41:36.539 so often diverts 00:41:36.539 --> 00:41:37.239 our attention 00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:38.439 from the glory 00:41:38.439 --> 00:41:39.179 and the sufficiency 00:41:39.179 --> 00:41:39.799 of Christ 00:41:39.799 --> 00:41:40.759 to get locked up 00:41:40.759 --> 00:41:41.639 on petty 00:41:41.639 --> 00:41:42.719 and different things 00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:43.719 and ends up 00:41:43.719 --> 00:41:44.579 causing us 00:41:44.579 --> 00:41:45.579 who know Christ 00:41:45.579 --> 00:41:46.679 to be unhappy 00:41:46.679 --> 00:41:47.500 and uncertain 00:41:47.500 --> 00:41:48.599 and anxious 00:41:48.599 --> 00:41:49.619 and fretful. 00:41:49.619 --> 00:41:53.199 and you call out 00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:53.639 to us 00:41:53.639 --> 00:41:54.460 in your tenderness 00:41:54.460 --> 00:41:55.179 and you say, 00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:56.059 come unto me 00:41:56.059 --> 00:41:59.019 and I will give you rest. 00:42:03.099 --> 00:42:04.019 And Father God, 00:42:04.059 --> 00:42:04.440 this morning, 00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:05.380 I would plead with you 00:42:05.380 --> 00:42:06.119 that you would work 00:42:06.119 --> 00:42:06.699 in the lives 00:42:06.699 --> 00:42:07.420 of your people 00:42:07.420 --> 00:42:11.259 that they would 00:42:11.259 --> 00:42:13.099 allow these truths 00:42:13.099 --> 00:42:13.980 to bear fruit 00:42:13.980 --> 00:42:14.880 in their lives. 00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:20.860 that the ministry 00:42:20.860 --> 00:42:22.579 of the indwelling spirit 00:42:22.579 --> 00:42:24.039 would be very real 00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:26.780 in strengthening us 00:42:26.780 --> 00:42:27.920 to be productive, 00:42:29.340 --> 00:42:30.960 growing Christians 00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:31.720 for the glory 00:42:31.720 --> 00:42:32.420 of the cross. 00:42:34.220 --> 00:42:35.460 Help us this morning 00:42:35.460 --> 00:42:36.599 to be humble enough 00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:37.200 to admit 00:42:37.200 --> 00:42:39.680 where there are some needs 00:42:39.680 --> 00:42:40.940 that we can't care for 00:42:40.940 --> 00:42:43.400 that only a contrite 00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:44.460 and a humble heart 00:42:44.460 --> 00:42:49.079 can bring about 00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:49.679 the change 00:42:49.679 --> 00:42:50.480 that is necessary 00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:51.519 when we call out 00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:52.579 and ask you to work. 00:42:54.099 --> 00:42:55.280 And I think this morning 00:42:55.280 --> 00:42:56.139 of those that are here 00:42:56.139 --> 00:42:56.880 that may not know 00:42:56.880 --> 00:42:58.079 the Lord Jesus Christ, 00:42:58.559 --> 00:42:59.699 even though they have sat 00:42:59.699 --> 00:43:00.559 maybe for years 00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:01.240 under the teaching 00:43:01.240 --> 00:43:01.900 of the gospel, 00:43:02.059 --> 00:43:02.760 that this morning 00:43:02.760 --> 00:43:03.740 your spirit 00:43:03.740 --> 00:43:04.619 would convict them 00:43:04.619 --> 00:43:05.480 of the empty 00:43:05.480 --> 00:43:07.280 hardness of their heart 00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:09.420 and they would cry out 00:43:09.420 --> 00:43:09.920 to Jesus 00:43:09.920 --> 00:43:10.780 to be their Savior. 00:43:11.619 --> 00:43:12.460 We ask this 00:43:12.460 --> 00:43:13.340 in Jesus' name. 00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:14.079 Amen. 00:43:14.460 --> 00:43:16.119 Amen. 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.119
