00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:22.940
 Well, this past week, my kids approached me, several of them, and asked for help.

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:24.760
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.539
 One asked for help with math.

00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:38.600
 Now, the first that asked for help was help with reading, my little seven-year-old.

00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:44.100
 And I can handle that, and I enjoy that.

00:00:44.299 --> 00:00:48.359
 Here's kind of a look at some of the things that we were reading.

00:00:49.219 --> 00:00:50.799
 Bill and Sam are in a mess.

00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:54.840
 A man from the mill yells at Bill and Sam.

00:00:55.420 --> 00:00:57.240
 I can handle that.

00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:01.039
 I can help him get through those words.

00:01:01.260 --> 00:01:02.700
 That was manageable.

00:01:03.820 --> 00:01:08.320
 And my daughter, who is eight, also asked for help.

00:01:08.379 --> 00:01:09.879
 She asked for help with spelling.

00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.939
 And here's what I had to anticipate with helping with spelling.

00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.820
 Hold, mild, post, mind, sold.

00:01:17.320 --> 00:01:18.359
 I got that one.

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.400
 I can handle that one.

00:01:21.500 --> 00:01:25.200
 Yes, I can be a resource for help for those words.

00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:29.579
 But then I had a daughter who asked for help with math.

00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:31.439
 Let's see this one.

00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.319
 Eight cosine theta minus four, the square root of three equals zero.

00:01:36.939 --> 00:01:38.719
 Please put your answer in radians.

00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:46.640
 Let's just say we all need help with this one.

00:01:49.099 --> 00:01:53.359
 Now, I have a little bit of background in math, being an engineer.

00:01:54.019 --> 00:01:59.539
 And having gone through, you know, pre-calculus and calc one, two, and three,

00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.019
 and differential equations in college.

00:02:02.019 --> 00:02:11.180
 But I had to kind of knock off the cobwebs and clear some space for 20 years of not having

00:02:11.180 --> 00:02:14.460
 accessed this kind of information before.

00:02:14.859 --> 00:02:22.900
 And so it took some time to figure out how in the world to even begin with an equation

00:02:22.900 --> 00:02:23.900
 like this.

00:02:23.900 --> 00:02:30.480
 Now, for some of you, perhaps, out there, eight cosine theta minus four, the square root

00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:34.020
 of three equals zero is just like elementary reading.

00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:35.920
 Bill and Sam are in a mess.

00:02:36.900 --> 00:02:46.920
 But for the rest of us, this is a difficult and challenging scenario, one that not only makes

00:02:46.920 --> 00:02:50.740
 us scratch our head and think, where do I begin?

00:02:50.740 --> 00:02:56.800
 But then we begin to understand that we are people who really do need help.

00:02:58.379 --> 00:03:06.719
 Now, as I think about the help that we each have access to, the help that Jesus had been

00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:14.860
 talking about through these chapters of the Gospel of John, in John chapter 13, 14, 15,

00:03:14.860 --> 00:03:21.620
 and 16, and we'll get to chapter 16 this morning, he informs us that there is a helper.

00:03:22.760 --> 00:03:25.620
 He talks about it over and over and over again.

00:03:25.720 --> 00:03:33.520
 We see it five times in this short piece of time that Jesus is spending with them.

00:03:33.600 --> 00:03:37.660
 And I'll put those up there on the screen for you to see.

00:03:37.659 --> 00:03:45.400
 Five times, Jesus refers to the helper, the helper that they have access to.

00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:48.460
 These disciples have help.

00:03:50.419 --> 00:03:58.159
 Now, the problem for us, maybe the biggest hurdle that keeps us from experiencing help

00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:01.680
 is we just don't think we need help.

00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:06.580
 We think we have things under control.

00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:12.860
 And as a matter of fact, when we don't have things under control, we make sure that we

00:04:12.860 --> 00:04:22.920
 arrange the circumstances and manage the conflicts so that eventually we can control the situation.

00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:28.240
 Or we avoid the risky aspects of life.

00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:33.500
 We avoid the things in life that require us to need help.

00:04:34.840 --> 00:04:39.579
 And so because we don't need help, we don't get help.

00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:49.540
 And because we don't need help, we don't experience the wonder of the Holy Spirit working in our life.

00:04:49.540 --> 00:04:56.340
 We never come to really know that the Spirit is there for help.

00:04:56.700 --> 00:04:58.040
 Divine help.

00:04:58.540 --> 00:04:59.760
 Godly help.

00:05:01.640 --> 00:05:02.879
 Risk-taking.

00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:07.600
 God-sized strength is at your fingertips.

00:05:08.660 --> 00:05:10.320
 It's accessible to you.

00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:20.159
 And this morning, I want not to compare the cosine theta to the help of the Holy Spirit.

00:05:20.379 --> 00:05:22.459
 They're in different stratospheres.

00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:29.879
 But I want you to understand that there is help for you in the mission that God has for your life.

00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:42.100
 And certainly Jesus wanted his disciples to understand that the mission that he was about to send them on was an impossible mission for them to handle on their own.

00:05:42.899 --> 00:05:46.680
 They would fall flat on their face without the help of the Holy Spirit.

00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:57.900
 But with the strengthening, enabling help of God working in their life, they would be able not only to meet the objectives that God had called them to meet,

00:05:58.100 --> 00:06:01.620
 to fulfill the purposes that God had called them to fulfill,

00:06:01.980 --> 00:06:07.139
 but they would move to the places that would be beyond their comprehension

00:06:07.139 --> 00:06:14.079
 with the help of the Holy Spirit working in their life.

00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:23.839
 The same Holy Spirit that worked in the person of Jesus to accomplish miracles and to cast out demons

00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:29.979
 and to calm the storm and to heal lepers and to distribute bread and fish

00:06:29.979 --> 00:06:33.299
 is the same Spirit that works in you today.

00:06:37.299 --> 00:06:38.019
 Imagine.

00:06:38.919 --> 00:06:40.299
 Imagine this morning.

00:06:40.300 --> 00:07:10.280
 Imagine this morning.

00:07:10.300 --> 00:07:12.939
 and allow him to do the work.

00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.600
 As we recognize our need for divine help

00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:21.920
 and as we ask for his help to flourish in our life.

00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.920
 Have you applied yourself to the task?

00:07:27.620 --> 00:07:30.519
 Are you enabled by his strength this morning?

00:07:31.400 --> 00:07:34.199
 When you show up in your workplace tomorrow,

00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:39.120
 will people see, have they taken notice that there is something distinctive about you?

00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:42.879
 because the Spirit is working in your life,

00:07:43.379 --> 00:07:51.540
 setting you apart, making your job and your work look different from everyone else?

00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:55.860
 In your behavior, in the way that you apply yourself to the task,

00:07:55.959 --> 00:08:00.079
 in your attitude, in your submission to your employer?

00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.079
 That's the work of the Spirit.

00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:03.120
 That's the work of the Spirit.

00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.839
 And that's what he will accomplish for you.

00:08:06.379 --> 00:08:14.439
 I want to look at the help of the Spirit, the help from the Father that he has given to us this morning.

00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:18.660
 And I want to look at these last five scenarios,

00:08:18.819 --> 00:08:22.519
 these last five statements that Jesus makes about the Holy Spirit,

00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:24.519
 the helper in our life,

00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:26.740
 and what the helper has come to do.

00:08:27.660 --> 00:08:30.040
 How does the helper help you?

00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:34.659
 Well, first of all, in verses 26 at the end of chapter 15,

00:08:34.920 --> 00:08:37.259
 we're going to pick up where we left off last week,

00:08:38.060 --> 00:08:40.200
 to chapter 16, verse 4,

00:08:40.300 --> 00:08:46.639
 we recognize that the Spirit is there to help to confirm your witness.

00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:50.460
 The Spirit helps to confirm your witness.

00:08:50.680 --> 00:08:51.740
 That is point number one.

00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:54.700
 Let me read these verses for us,

00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:56.639
 and then we'll dig into the text.

00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:00.240
 Beginning in verse 26,

00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:03.259
 But when the helper comes,

00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:05.679
 whom I will send to you from the Father,

00:09:06.460 --> 00:09:07.500
 the Spirit of truth,

00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:08.939
 who proceeds from the Father,

00:09:09.340 --> 00:09:11.659
 he will bear witness about me.

00:09:12.899 --> 00:09:15.000
 And you also will bear witness,

00:09:15.100 --> 00:09:17.439
 because you have been with me from the beginning.

00:09:18.439 --> 00:09:20.580
 I have said all these things to you,

00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:22.439
 to keep you from falling away.

00:09:23.580 --> 00:09:25.220
 They will put you out of the synagogues.

00:09:25.220 --> 00:09:26.860
 Indeed, the hour is coming,

00:09:27.160 --> 00:09:30.540
 when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.

00:09:31.500 --> 00:09:32.779
 And they will do these things,

00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:36.000
 because they have not known the Father, nor me.

00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.040
 But I have said these things to you,

00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.399
 that when their hour comes,

00:09:41.500 --> 00:09:44.360
 you may remember that I told them to you.

00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.720
 I did not say these things to you from the beginning,

00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:50.879
 because I was with you.

00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:57.200
 We saw last week that the Holy Spirit's primary ministry to the world

00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:01.039
 is a ministry of testifying about Christ.

00:10:01.860 --> 00:10:05.179
 It's a ministry of making Christ known to the world.

00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:09.799
 The Spirit bears witness about me, Jesus says,

00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:12.299
 and you will bear witness about me.

00:10:12.299 --> 00:10:15.279
 When the Spirit is in your life,

00:10:15.359 --> 00:10:19.339
 the Spirit will do the job of testifying to the Father,

00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:21.199
 and to Jesus.

00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:23.439
 And so as you live out your life,

00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:25.359
 your life will be a testimony,

00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:27.500
 a reflection of Jesus.

00:10:28.539 --> 00:10:31.139
 He will show up in the way that you speak,

00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:32.539
 in the way that you behave,

00:10:32.939 --> 00:10:34.399
 in the words that you use,

00:10:34.479 --> 00:10:37.219
 and in the way that you say those words.

00:10:37.220 --> 00:10:42.080
 We also saw last week that the work of the Holy Spirit

00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:45.379
 is clearest in times of persecution.

00:10:46.540 --> 00:10:50.860
 Light shines brightest in the darkest night.

00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:54.139
 In the midst of persecution,

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:57.120
 your light will be the most radiant.

00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:00.800
 And that's when the Spirit loves to do His work.

00:11:01.180 --> 00:11:04.320
 The Spirit loves to do His work in the midst of your weakness

00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:07.600
 to help magnify the strength of God.

00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:14.020
 There's a picture that Jesus is giving to His disciples

00:11:14.020 --> 00:11:17.600
 as He moves them through these final hours.

00:11:18.280 --> 00:11:22.360
 He wants them to understand that there is a public proclamation.

00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:25.560
 That when you bear testimony of Jesus,

00:11:25.560 --> 00:11:28.380
 it's going to show up in the words you say,

00:11:28.980 --> 00:11:32.200
 but also show up in the works that you do.

00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:34.440
 As in Jesus' life,

00:11:34.580 --> 00:11:36.800
 His miracles gave testimony

00:11:36.800 --> 00:11:38.900
 and affirmed and validated

00:11:38.900 --> 00:11:42.120
 the words that came from the Father.

00:11:42.900 --> 00:11:44.700
 It demonstrated that He was authentic,

00:11:45.060 --> 00:11:46.040
 that He was genuine,

00:11:46.620 --> 00:11:50.040
 that things that He was saying were true and right.

00:11:51.020 --> 00:11:53.920
 And when we give testimony to Jesus,

00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:59.800
 we echo the things that Jesus says about Himself.

00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:03.000
 We echo that He is the way,

00:12:03.199 --> 00:12:03.659
 the truth,

00:12:03.719 --> 00:12:04.219
 and the life.

00:12:04.819 --> 00:12:07.099
 We echo that He is the resurrection

00:12:07.099 --> 00:12:08.479
 and the life.

00:12:09.359 --> 00:12:10.059
 He's the door.

00:12:10.219 --> 00:12:11.500
 He's the light of the world.

00:12:11.819 --> 00:12:12.740
 He's the good shepherd.

00:12:12.959 --> 00:12:14.079
 He's the vine.

00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:16.639
 He is the bread of life.

00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:19.879
 All of these things that Jesus says about Himself,

00:12:20.259 --> 00:12:22.959
 our life is a reflection of that reality.

00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:27.420
 We show that Jesus as the bread of life is sufficient.

00:12:28.460 --> 00:12:29.980
 He nourishes our heart.

00:12:30.980 --> 00:12:31.980
 Jesus as the vine,

00:12:32.040 --> 00:12:35.639
 we've seen He's the one that we abide in fellowship with Him.

00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.019
 We enjoy and are satisfied with Him alone.

00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:45.220
 There is a witness of works that shows up in our life.

00:12:45.220 --> 00:12:51.360
 And it requires divine help in order for us to show properly.

00:12:52.740 --> 00:12:55.259
 Now moving to verses 1 through 4,

00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:56.840
 we see some of the details.

00:12:56.980 --> 00:12:59.560
 Jesus wants His disciples to understand

00:12:59.560 --> 00:13:02.500
 that they're going to encounter some pushback,

00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:06.480
 some opposition, antagonism from the world.

00:13:07.019 --> 00:13:09.040
 And He gives them some specifics.

00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:10.680
 What can you expect?

00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:13.139
 You're going to need help.

00:13:13.379 --> 00:13:14.719
 Excuse me, Jesus says.

00:13:17.059 --> 00:13:18.019
 Take a drink.

00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:26.159
 You're going to need help.

00:13:27.459 --> 00:13:30.339
 But you've been given divine power.

00:13:31.620 --> 00:13:33.919
 You're able to make your way through the conflict

00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:37.199
 because I have given you strength.

00:13:37.779 --> 00:13:39.899
 I've given you divine energy.

00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:42.699
 I've given you the Holy Spirit

00:13:42.699 --> 00:13:46.079
 who can help you to overcome the opposition,

00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.439
 to stand in the face of turmoil.

00:13:51.839 --> 00:13:54.039
 Jesus recounts several scenarios

00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:57.120
 that they will come to bear on their life.

00:13:58.199 --> 00:14:01.599
 And He talks about the significance of not falling away.

00:14:02.359 --> 00:14:05.139
 This word here in verse 1 of falling away

00:14:05.139 --> 00:14:06.879
 is the word scandalizo,

00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:08.679
 which, as you can tell,

00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:12.779
 is our English equivalent to scandalize.

00:14:13.659 --> 00:14:17.860
 It is speaking of a trap or an animal.

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:19.899
 The little stick in the trap,

00:14:19.980 --> 00:14:21.919
 you see the box in the comics

00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:25.019
 and you pull the stick and the box falls down.

00:14:25.439 --> 00:14:28.460
 The scandalon was the stick that supported the trap.

00:14:29.860 --> 00:14:32.299
 He didn't want them to encounter

00:14:32.299 --> 00:14:38.379
 the trap that comes when hard things confront us.

00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:41.139
 He didn't want them to be like an animal

00:14:41.139 --> 00:14:42.620
 that was ensnared in a trap.

00:14:44.059 --> 00:14:46.959
 Jesus was going to eliminate the surprise

00:14:46.959 --> 00:14:49.979
 by telling them ahead of time what to expect.

00:14:49.980 --> 00:14:53.480
 One commentator puts it this way,

00:14:54.700 --> 00:14:57.920
 the greatest danger the disciples will confront

00:14:57.920 --> 00:14:59.399
 from the opposition of the world

00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:02.840
 was not death but apostasy.

00:15:03.940 --> 00:15:06.279
 It was not death but apostasy.

00:15:07.180 --> 00:15:10.039
 Jesus puts it this way in Luke chapter 12.

00:15:10.180 --> 00:15:10.600
 He says,

00:15:10.899 --> 00:15:13.560
 My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body

00:15:13.560 --> 00:15:17.399
 and after that have no more they can do,

00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:20.179
 but I will show you whom you should fear.

00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:23.340
 Fear him who after he is killed

00:15:23.340 --> 00:15:25.659
 has power to cast into hell.

00:15:25.980 --> 00:15:27.620
 Yes, I say to you, fear him.

00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:31.559
 And Jesus later on begins to expound.

00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:31.840
 It says,

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:36.579
 You will be hated by all by my name's sake,

00:15:36.659 --> 00:15:39.879
 but he who endures to the end will be saved.

00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:42.439
 The true follower of Christ,

00:15:42.579 --> 00:15:44.620
 the true disciple of Christ

00:15:44.620 --> 00:15:45.960
 will be the individual

00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.600
 who makes it to the finish line,

00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:50.740
 who does not fall away,

00:15:50.820 --> 00:15:53.440
 but who endures through times of difficulty,

00:15:53.940 --> 00:15:56.879
 who stands the test of time,

00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:00.519
 who demonstrates the power of the Spirit

00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:02.060
 working in their life

00:16:02.060 --> 00:16:04.360
 to endure whatever conflict,

00:16:04.659 --> 00:16:05.560
 whatever hardship

00:16:05.560 --> 00:16:07.679
 that they will be confronted with.

00:16:08.100 --> 00:16:09.860
 They demonstrate that the Spirit

00:16:09.860 --> 00:16:11.899
 is working in their life.

00:16:11.899 --> 00:16:16.139
 But Jesus wants his disciples

00:16:16.139 --> 00:16:17.819
 not to be caught off guard.

00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:19.480
 Don't be surprised.

00:16:19.819 --> 00:16:20.959
 Hardship is coming.

00:16:22.220 --> 00:16:23.679
 And what makes this hardship

00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:24.639
 particularly difficult

00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:27.159
 is that in both of the examples

00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:28.439
 that Jesus gives here,

00:16:29.199 --> 00:16:31.439
 they both involve opposition,

00:16:32.199 --> 00:16:34.579
 not that comes from the world,

00:16:35.019 --> 00:16:36.899
 but opposition that comes

00:16:36.899 --> 00:16:37.919
 from the religious.

00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:40.819
 Look at this.

00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:43.299
 They will put you out of the synagogue,

00:16:43.579 --> 00:16:45.139
 he says in verse 2.

00:16:46.019 --> 00:16:47.919
 He says in verse 3,

00:16:49.659 --> 00:16:50.519
 they will do these things

00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:52.159
 because they have not known the Father.

00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:55.299
 They will think that they're offering

00:16:55.299 --> 00:16:56.899
 sacrifices to God,

00:16:56.959 --> 00:16:58.159
 he says at the end of verse 2.

00:16:59.539 --> 00:17:00.839
 These are individuals

00:17:00.839 --> 00:17:03.819
 who have some level of spirituality,

00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:06.440
 and yet they oppose you.

00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:08.640
 Now we can expect

00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:10.420
 that opposition will come from the world.

00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:12.960
 We can sort of anticipate that,

00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:14.180
 but when it comes

00:17:14.180 --> 00:17:15.440
 from within the church,

00:17:15.779 --> 00:17:16.640
 or when it comes

00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:18.180
 from religious individuals,

00:17:18.380 --> 00:17:19.860
 that's when it becomes

00:17:19.860 --> 00:17:21.240
 hard to understand.

00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:25.980
 John, in dealing with the same issue,

00:17:26.820 --> 00:17:27.660
 in 1 John,

00:17:27.700 --> 00:17:28.519
 he's writing a letter

00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:30.200
 to the church of Ephesus,

00:17:30.740 --> 00:17:32.440
 and he wants the church

00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:33.500
 who has remained

00:17:33.500 --> 00:17:34.920
 to understand

00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:36.980
 that the folks

00:17:36.980 --> 00:17:38.000
 who have left

00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:39.720
 demonstrate

00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:41.059
 that they really weren't

00:17:41.059 --> 00:17:42.019
 a part of God

00:17:42.019 --> 00:17:42.880
 in the first place.

00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:46.559
 Jesus is dealing

00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:47.500
 with the same issue here.

00:17:48.380 --> 00:17:49.359
 He wants his disciples

00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:50.200
 to understand

00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:51.480
 that the opposition

00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:52.299
 that comes

00:17:52.299 --> 00:17:53.180
 from the people

00:17:53.180 --> 00:17:54.500
 who are least expected

00:17:54.500 --> 00:17:58.400
 might perhaps

00:17:58.400 --> 00:17:59.680
 be the most

00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:01.079
 confusing

00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:02.319
 and hard

00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:03.019
 for us

00:18:03.019 --> 00:18:04.900
 to decipher.

00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:06.160
 How can

00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:07.539
 this happen

00:18:07.539 --> 00:18:08.440
 from people

00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:09.619
 within the church?

00:18:11.859 --> 00:18:12.720
 But MacArthur

00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:13.480
 puts it this way.

00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:15.099
 He says,

00:18:15.180 --> 00:18:16.460
 when I came out of seminary,

00:18:16.500 --> 00:18:16.940
 I knew

00:18:16.940 --> 00:18:18.000
 I would be fighting

00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:19.299
 battles on issues

00:18:19.299 --> 00:18:20.900
 such as inerrancy

00:18:20.900 --> 00:18:21.700
 and inspiration,

00:18:22.259 --> 00:18:23.299
 the authority of Scripture

00:18:23.299 --> 00:18:24.299
 and sanctification,

00:18:25.099 --> 00:18:26.039
 but I never

00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:27.200
 really believed

00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:28.119
 that I would spend

00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:29.539
 so much of my ministry

00:18:29.539 --> 00:18:31.639
 trying to defend

00:18:31.639 --> 00:18:32.720
 the gospel

00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:34.740
 inside the church.

00:18:35.899 --> 00:18:37.220
 From the very beginning

00:18:37.220 --> 00:18:37.940
 of my ministry,

00:18:38.059 --> 00:18:38.619
 I was aware

00:18:38.619 --> 00:18:39.859
 that the churches

00:18:39.859 --> 00:18:41.079
 were full of people

00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:42.779
 who didn't understand

00:18:42.779 --> 00:18:43.539
 the gospel.

00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:48.000
 Sometimes it's alarming

00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:49.460
 and confusing

00:18:49.460 --> 00:18:52.579
 when opposition comes,

00:18:52.579 --> 00:18:54.179
 from people

00:18:54.179 --> 00:18:55.460
 who you would expect

00:18:55.460 --> 00:18:57.299
 to be the representatives

00:18:57.299 --> 00:18:59.279
 of God's word,

00:18:59.699 --> 00:19:00.699
 even leaders

00:19:00.699 --> 00:19:01.599
 within a church.

00:19:02.919 --> 00:19:04.079
 Jesus wants

00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:04.839
 to make them aware

00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:05.899
 that this

00:19:05.899 --> 00:19:07.960
 is a certainty.

00:19:08.419 --> 00:19:09.460
 This will happen.

00:19:10.399 --> 00:19:10.980
 Don't be caught

00:19:10.980 --> 00:19:11.419
 off guard.

00:19:14.099 --> 00:19:14.699
 And this was

00:19:14.699 --> 00:19:15.259
 the disciples'

00:19:15.439 --> 00:19:15.980
 experience.

00:19:17.159 --> 00:19:18.199
 People from within

00:19:18.199 --> 00:19:19.000
 their own nation.

00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:21.179
 People from within

00:19:21.180 --> 00:19:22.080
 their own community.

00:19:22.220 --> 00:19:23.500
 People who were put

00:19:23.500 --> 00:19:24.700
 in positions of leadership

00:19:24.700 --> 00:19:26.519
 put them out of the synagogue,

00:19:26.900 --> 00:19:27.960
 put them out of the temple,

00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:30.120
 and Paul himself,

00:19:30.360 --> 00:19:32.080
 as being the major proponent

00:19:32.080 --> 00:19:33.400
 of it at the early part

00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:34.539
 of the Exodus

00:19:34.539 --> 00:19:35.400
 from Jerusalem,

00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:37.759
 thought he was doing

00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:38.640
 a service to God

00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:41.039
 by persecuting

00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:42.299
 the church

00:19:42.299 --> 00:19:43.680
 within Jerusalem.

00:19:45.019 --> 00:19:46.180
 The greatest hurdle,

00:19:47.140 --> 00:19:47.940
 as I've said,

00:19:48.140 --> 00:19:48.900
 to getting help

00:19:48.900 --> 00:19:50.120
 is knowing

00:19:50.120 --> 00:19:51.000
 that we need it.

00:19:52.280 --> 00:19:52.820
 And perhaps

00:19:52.820 --> 00:19:54.100
 the greatest reason

00:19:54.100 --> 00:19:55.480
 why we don't understand

00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:56.780
 our need for help

00:19:56.780 --> 00:19:58.200
 is because we

00:19:58.200 --> 00:19:59.360
 never have

00:19:59.360 --> 00:20:00.420
 a testimony,

00:20:01.180 --> 00:20:01.900
 we never bear

00:20:01.900 --> 00:20:02.880
 the kind of testimony

00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:03.720
 in the world

00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:04.759
 that is distinctive

00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:05.340
 enough

00:20:05.340 --> 00:20:06.460
 to receive

00:20:06.460 --> 00:20:07.300
 opposition.

00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:11.060
 I think of our witness

00:20:11.060 --> 00:20:12.540
 as students,

00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:14.120
 and I think of

00:20:14.120 --> 00:20:15.080
 the compromise

00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.460
 that many of the students

00:20:18.460 --> 00:20:19.439
 within this church

00:20:19.439 --> 00:20:20.720
 probably go through.

00:20:21.819 --> 00:20:23.419
 Temptation to cheat

00:20:23.419 --> 00:20:24.639
 or to plagiarize.

00:20:25.379 --> 00:20:27.699
 Temptation to do work

00:20:27.699 --> 00:20:28.539
 for a friend.

00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:30.299
 Temptation to criticize

00:20:30.299 --> 00:20:31.179
 authority.

00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:34.079
 Temptation to be part

00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:34.779
 of the bullying

00:20:34.779 --> 00:20:35.759
 that takes place

00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:36.659
 so often within

00:20:36.659 --> 00:20:37.500
 the school system.

00:20:38.399 --> 00:20:39.559
 Temptation to ignore

00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:41.139
 students who are

00:20:41.139 --> 00:20:42.079
 kind of outcasts.

00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:44.000
 But God has called us

00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:45.299
 to something distinctive.

00:20:45.460 --> 00:20:45.960
 He has called us

00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:46.699
 to something better.

00:20:47.579 --> 00:20:48.379
 He has called us

00:20:48.379 --> 00:20:49.500
 to operate within

00:20:49.500 --> 00:20:51.259
 the power of the Spirit

00:20:51.259 --> 00:20:53.199
 to demonstrate

00:20:53.199 --> 00:20:54.240
 the love of God

00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:54.759
 in the world.

00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:56.279
 Or how about

00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:56.960
 the workplace?

00:20:58.359 --> 00:20:59.039
 The compromise

00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:00.699
 to fudge

00:21:00.699 --> 00:21:02.460
 a little on your numbers

00:21:02.460 --> 00:21:04.319
 or to cut corners

00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:05.699
 in your work.

00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:08.000
 The temptation

00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:09.039
 to undermine

00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:09.740
 your boss

00:21:09.740 --> 00:21:10.819
 or another employee.

00:21:10.819 --> 00:21:12.039
 to do whatever

00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:12.539
 it takes

00:21:12.539 --> 00:21:13.539
 to get ahead.

00:21:13.819 --> 00:21:14.439
 To have that

00:21:14.439 --> 00:21:15.759
 cutthroat strategy

00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:17.240
 that is the proven

00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:17.859
 strategy

00:21:17.859 --> 00:21:19.639
 to get that promotion.

00:21:20.639 --> 00:21:21.679
 So we adopt

00:21:21.679 --> 00:21:22.720
 the world's strategies

00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:23.980
 and we don't look

00:21:23.980 --> 00:21:24.579
 distinctive.

00:21:25.819 --> 00:21:26.779
 And because we don't

00:21:26.779 --> 00:21:27.399
 look distinctive

00:21:27.399 --> 00:21:28.599
 we demonstrate

00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:30.000
 that we are taking

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:31.159
 matters into our hands

00:21:31.159 --> 00:21:31.960
 instead of leaning

00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:33.039
 and resting

00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:34.259
 in the power

00:21:34.259 --> 00:21:34.919
 of the Spirit

00:21:34.919 --> 00:21:36.379
 to do a work

00:21:36.379 --> 00:21:37.079
 in our life.

00:21:38.740 --> 00:21:39.379
 Imagine

00:21:39.380 --> 00:21:40.660
 a life

00:21:40.660 --> 00:21:41.540
 empowered

00:21:41.540 --> 00:21:42.500
 by the Spirit

00:21:42.500 --> 00:21:43.080
 today.

00:21:44.600 --> 00:21:45.320
 You're going

00:21:45.320 --> 00:21:45.940
 to need help

00:21:45.940 --> 00:21:47.780
 but Jesus

00:21:47.780 --> 00:21:49.000
 has given

00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:50.260
 His divine helper

00:21:50.260 --> 00:21:51.880
 to help you

00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:53.200
 in the situation

00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:54.260
 whatever that situation

00:21:54.260 --> 00:21:54.820
 might be.

00:21:55.700 --> 00:21:56.860
 As a student

00:21:56.860 --> 00:21:58.160
 as a mom

00:21:58.160 --> 00:21:59.240
 as a dad

00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:00.540
 as an employee

00:22:00.540 --> 00:22:02.540
 wherever you may be

00:22:02.540 --> 00:22:03.820
 Jesus wants you

00:22:03.820 --> 00:22:04.620
 to be a witness

00:22:04.620 --> 00:22:05.660
 and He has given

00:22:05.660 --> 00:22:06.880
 His help

00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:07.580
 to confirm

00:22:07.580 --> 00:22:08.340
 that witness

00:22:08.340 --> 00:22:09.360
 in your life

00:22:09.360 --> 00:22:10.440
 to strengthen

00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:11.300
 and magnify

00:22:11.300 --> 00:22:11.680
 Himself

00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:12.660
 through

00:22:12.660 --> 00:22:14.300
 your life

00:22:14.300 --> 00:22:15.680
 through the witness

00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:16.340
 of Christ

00:22:16.340 --> 00:22:17.700
 who has transformed

00:22:17.700 --> 00:22:18.100
 you.

00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:20.260
 Secondly

00:22:20.260 --> 00:22:20.880
 we see

00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:21.860
 that Jesus

00:22:21.860 --> 00:22:22.740
 is also given

00:22:22.740 --> 00:22:24.240
 help by the Spirit

00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:25.320
 to convict

00:22:25.320 --> 00:22:25.880
 the world

00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:26.360
 of sin.

00:22:27.120 --> 00:22:27.580
 Help

00:22:27.580 --> 00:22:28.380
 to convict

00:22:28.380 --> 00:22:29.060
 the world.

00:22:29.620 --> 00:22:30.220
 We see that

00:22:30.220 --> 00:22:30.620
 in verses

00:22:30.620 --> 00:22:31.780
 5 to 11.

00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:33.080
 Let me read

00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:33.799
 that for us.

00:22:35.339 --> 00:22:36.159
 Jesus says

00:22:36.159 --> 00:22:37.759
 but now I am

00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:38.460
 going to Him

00:22:38.460 --> 00:22:39.159
 who sent me

00:22:39.159 --> 00:22:40.539
 and none of you

00:22:40.539 --> 00:22:41.159
 asks me

00:22:41.159 --> 00:22:41.960
 where are you going

00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:43.759
 but because I have

00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:44.619
 said these things

00:22:44.619 --> 00:22:45.179
 to you

00:22:45.179 --> 00:22:45.960
 sorrow

00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:47.199
 has filled

00:22:47.199 --> 00:22:47.819
 your heart.

00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:49.199
 Nevertheless

00:22:49.199 --> 00:22:50.539
 I tell you the truth

00:22:50.539 --> 00:22:51.759
 it is to your advantage

00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:53.159
 that I go away

00:22:53.159 --> 00:22:54.679
 for if I do not

00:22:54.679 --> 00:22:55.079
 go away

00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:55.539
 the helper

00:22:55.539 --> 00:22:56.539
 will not come to you

00:22:56.539 --> 00:22:58.159
 but if I go

00:22:58.159 --> 00:22:58.960
 I will send

00:22:58.960 --> 00:22:59.539
 Him to you

00:22:59.539 --> 00:23:01.220
 and when He comes

00:23:01.220 --> 00:23:02.619
 He will convict

00:23:02.619 --> 00:23:03.019
 the world

00:23:03.019 --> 00:23:04.239
 concerning sin

00:23:04.239 --> 00:23:05.439
 and righteousness

00:23:05.439 --> 00:23:06.759
 and judgment

00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:08.559
 concerning sin

00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:09.319
 because they do not

00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:10.000
 believe in me

00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:11.599
 concerning righteousness

00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:12.899
 because I go to the Father

00:23:12.899 --> 00:23:14.299
 and you will see me

00:23:14.299 --> 00:23:14.839
 no longer

00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:16.659
 concerning judgment

00:23:16.659 --> 00:23:18.319
 because the ruler

00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:19.419
 of this world

00:23:19.419 --> 00:23:20.579
 is judged

00:23:20.579 --> 00:23:23.279
 you have a helper

00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:25.779
 given to assist you

00:23:25.779 --> 00:23:26.959
 in making much

00:23:26.959 --> 00:23:27.539
 of Jesus

00:23:27.539 --> 00:23:28.379
 in this world

00:23:28.379 --> 00:23:29.619
 of making

00:23:29.619 --> 00:23:30.559
 the gospel

00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:31.179
 clear

00:23:31.179 --> 00:23:32.059
 in this world

00:23:32.059 --> 00:23:34.000
 when Jesus

00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:35.379
 talks about

00:23:35.379 --> 00:23:36.899
 this word

00:23:36.899 --> 00:23:37.740
 of convicting

00:23:37.740 --> 00:23:38.460
 He is talking

00:23:38.460 --> 00:23:39.539
 about the word

00:23:39.539 --> 00:23:40.079
 reveal

00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:41.919
 He is talking

00:23:41.919 --> 00:23:43.259
 about to expose

00:23:43.259 --> 00:23:44.940
 He is talking

00:23:44.940 --> 00:23:45.720
 about to make

00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:46.679
 light of

00:23:46.679 --> 00:23:48.619
 we are going to

00:23:48.619 --> 00:23:49.099
 get to this

00:23:49.099 --> 00:23:50.259
 in just a moment

00:23:50.259 --> 00:23:51.740
 but just because

00:23:51.740 --> 00:23:53.099
 someone's life

00:23:53.099 --> 00:23:53.700
 is exposed

00:23:53.700 --> 00:23:54.679
 does not mean

00:23:54.679 --> 00:23:55.700
 they automatically

00:23:55.700 --> 00:23:56.460
 are converted

00:23:56.460 --> 00:24:00.380
 Jesus wants

00:24:00.380 --> 00:24:01.880
 His disciples

00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:02.680
 to understand

00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:03.640
 you are not

00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:04.180
 alone

00:24:04.180 --> 00:24:05.180
 in making

00:24:05.180 --> 00:24:06.079
 much of me

00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:07.340
 you are not

00:24:07.340 --> 00:24:07.819
 alone

00:24:07.819 --> 00:24:09.539
 in exalting

00:24:09.539 --> 00:24:10.160
 Jesus

00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:11.100
 the name of

00:24:11.100 --> 00:24:11.440
 Jesus

00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:12.620
 in the public

00:24:12.620 --> 00:24:13.700
 you will have

00:24:13.700 --> 00:24:14.059
 help

00:24:14.059 --> 00:24:15.440
 and the Spirit

00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:16.559
 will convict

00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:17.220
 the world

00:24:17.220 --> 00:24:21.039
 but before He does

00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:22.440
 He lets them know

00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:22.980
 that something

00:24:22.980 --> 00:24:23.680
 has to happen

00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:24.180
 first

00:24:24.180 --> 00:24:25.759
 before He can

00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:26.680
 send the Spirit

00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:27.120
 to them

00:24:27.120 --> 00:24:28.080
 He must first

00:24:28.080 --> 00:24:28.860
 go away

00:24:28.860 --> 00:24:30.400
 He says

00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:31.220
 now I go

00:24:31.220 --> 00:24:31.960
 away to Him

00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:32.960
 who sent me

00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:34.620
 Jesus has said

00:24:34.620 --> 00:24:35.140
 this at least

00:24:35.140 --> 00:24:36.019
 three other times

00:24:36.019 --> 00:24:36.980
 in His

00:24:36.980 --> 00:24:37.860
 conversation

00:24:37.860 --> 00:24:38.940
 this night

00:24:38.940 --> 00:24:39.720
 with the disciples

00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:43.019
 and then He makes

00:24:43.019 --> 00:24:43.460
 an interesting

00:24:43.460 --> 00:24:43.960
 statement

00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:45.160
 He says

00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:45.700
 in no one

00:24:45.700 --> 00:24:46.400
 asks me

00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:46.980
 where I am

00:24:46.980 --> 00:24:47.400
 going

00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:48.460
 but sorrow

00:24:48.460 --> 00:24:49.019
 has filled

00:24:49.019 --> 00:24:49.620
 your heart

00:24:49.620 --> 00:24:51.200
 now if you are

00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:51.660
 remembering

00:24:51.660 --> 00:24:52.600
 this narrative

00:24:52.600 --> 00:24:53.440
 and you have

00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:53.960
 read through

00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:55.000
 chapters 13

00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:55.640
 to 16

00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:56.259
 recently

00:24:56.259 --> 00:24:57.279
 you might

00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:57.860
 be scratching

00:24:57.860 --> 00:24:58.279
 your head

00:24:58.279 --> 00:24:58.759
 and wondering

00:24:58.759 --> 00:24:59.620
 but wait

00:24:59.620 --> 00:25:00.180
 a second

00:25:00.180 --> 00:25:01.519
 Peter

00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:02.620
 asked you

00:25:02.620 --> 00:25:03.259
 specifically

00:25:03.259 --> 00:25:03.779
 where you are

00:25:03.779 --> 00:25:04.140
 going

00:25:04.140 --> 00:25:05.100
 at the end

00:25:05.100 --> 00:25:06.040
 of chapter 13

00:25:06.040 --> 00:25:07.640
 and Philip

00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:08.320
 asked you

00:25:08.320 --> 00:25:08.700
 where you are

00:25:08.700 --> 00:25:09.060
 going

00:25:09.060 --> 00:25:09.680
 at the beginning

00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:10.680
 of chapter 14

00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:12.400
 what are you

00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:13.040
 talking about

00:25:13.040 --> 00:25:13.420
 Jesus

00:25:13.420 --> 00:25:14.640
 none of you

00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:15.460
 has asked me

00:25:15.460 --> 00:25:15.860
 where I am

00:25:15.860 --> 00:25:16.200
 going

00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:18.140
 what Jesus

00:25:18.140 --> 00:25:18.759
 is referring

00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:19.880
 to is not

00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:20.480
 the kind

00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:21.700
 of question

00:25:21.700 --> 00:25:22.740
 that at the

00:25:22.740 --> 00:25:23.120
 surface

00:25:23.120 --> 00:25:24.440
 seems to have

00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:25.120
 some interest

00:25:25.120 --> 00:25:26.339
 what Jesus

00:25:26.339 --> 00:25:27.120
 is talking about

00:25:27.120 --> 00:25:27.579
 is the kind

00:25:27.579 --> 00:25:28.039
 of question

00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:28.360
 that is

00:25:28.360 --> 00:25:29.039
 penetrating

00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:30.240
 and is concerned

00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:30.680
 about the

00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:31.259
 individual

00:25:31.259 --> 00:25:32.279
 that they are

00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:33.059
 asking about

00:25:33.059 --> 00:25:34.799
 it is kind

00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:35.200
 of like

00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:36.539
 a dad

00:25:36.539 --> 00:25:36.900
 who has

00:25:36.900 --> 00:25:37.440
 promised

00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:38.259
 his son

00:25:38.259 --> 00:25:38.920
 hey on

00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:39.480
 Saturday

00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:40.220
 we are

00:25:40.220 --> 00:25:40.400
 going to

00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:40.960
 go fishing

00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:42.660
 well Saturday

00:25:42.660 --> 00:25:43.819
 comes and dad

00:25:43.819 --> 00:25:44.759
 gets a call

00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:45.640
 from work

00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:46.180
 that says

00:25:46.180 --> 00:25:46.579
 there is an

00:25:46.579 --> 00:25:47.559
 emergency meeting

00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:48.420
 there is things

00:25:48.420 --> 00:25:48.839
 that need to

00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:49.160
 happen

00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:50.200
 and then he

00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:51.120
 packs up his

00:25:51.120 --> 00:25:51.700
 briefcase

00:25:51.700 --> 00:25:52.320
 and walks

00:25:52.320 --> 00:25:52.580
 out the

00:25:52.580 --> 00:25:52.759
 door

00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:53.100
 and the

00:25:53.100 --> 00:25:53.800
 son says

00:25:53.800 --> 00:25:55.019
 where are

00:25:55.019 --> 00:25:55.500
 you going

00:25:55.500 --> 00:25:57.180
 but the

00:25:57.180 --> 00:25:57.759
 son has

00:25:57.759 --> 00:25:58.500
 little concern

00:25:58.500 --> 00:25:59.100
 about what

00:25:59.100 --> 00:25:59.500
 the father

00:25:59.500 --> 00:25:59.940
 is actually

00:25:59.940 --> 00:26:00.460
 doing

00:26:00.460 --> 00:26:01.120
 and more

00:26:01.120 --> 00:26:01.580
 concern

00:26:01.580 --> 00:26:02.180
 about how

00:26:02.180 --> 00:26:03.160
 the father's

00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:03.540
 decision

00:26:03.540 --> 00:26:04.180
 affects him

00:26:04.180 --> 00:26:04.900
 personally

00:26:04.900 --> 00:26:06.320
 that is what

00:26:06.320 --> 00:26:06.779
 Jesus is

00:26:06.779 --> 00:26:07.400
 talking about

00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:08.820
 Jesus

00:26:08.820 --> 00:26:09.820
 understands

00:26:09.820 --> 00:26:10.340
 that at the

00:26:10.340 --> 00:26:10.720
 heart

00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:11.080
 of the

00:26:11.080 --> 00:26:11.519
 questions

00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:11.800
 that they

00:26:11.800 --> 00:26:12.340
 were asking

00:26:12.340 --> 00:26:13.240
 initially

00:26:13.240 --> 00:26:13.980
 had more

00:26:13.980 --> 00:26:14.360
 to do

00:26:14.360 --> 00:26:14.740
 with their

00:26:14.740 --> 00:26:15.620
 inconvenience

00:26:15.620 --> 00:26:16.120
 and less

00:26:16.120 --> 00:26:16.580
 to do

00:26:16.580 --> 00:26:17.180
 with the

00:26:17.180 --> 00:26:17.779
 implications

00:26:17.779 --> 00:26:18.539
 that were

00:26:18.539 --> 00:26:18.879
 coming

00:26:18.879 --> 00:26:20.539
 so Jesus

00:26:20.539 --> 00:26:21.019
 takes this

00:26:21.019 --> 00:26:21.480
 opportunity

00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:22.539
 to say

00:26:22.539 --> 00:26:23.039
 I know

00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:23.539
 that you

00:26:23.539 --> 00:26:24.539
 understand

00:26:24.539 --> 00:26:25.639
 that something

00:26:25.639 --> 00:26:26.740
 radical is

00:26:26.740 --> 00:26:27.119
 going to take

00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:27.480
 place

00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:28.259
 I know

00:26:28.259 --> 00:26:28.720
 that you

00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:29.599
 kind of

00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:30.000
 get it

00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:30.379
 that I'm

00:26:30.379 --> 00:26:30.680
 going to

00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:31.180
 be leaving

00:26:31.180 --> 00:26:32.720
 you may

00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:33.420
 not understand

00:26:33.420 --> 00:26:33.960
 all that's

00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:34.139
 going to

00:26:34.139 --> 00:26:34.839
 unfold here

00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:35.299
 in the next

00:26:35.299 --> 00:26:36.039
 few hours

00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:37.879
 as we read

00:26:37.879 --> 00:26:38.379
 throughout the

00:26:38.379 --> 00:26:38.980
 gospels

00:26:38.980 --> 00:26:39.819
 that although

00:26:39.819 --> 00:26:40.759
 Jesus had

00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:41.599
 told them

00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:42.039
 on at least

00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:42.899
 three occasions

00:26:42.899 --> 00:26:43.299
 that he was

00:26:43.299 --> 00:26:44.099
 going to die

00:26:44.099 --> 00:26:44.819
 and he was

00:26:44.819 --> 00:26:45.180
 going to be

00:26:45.180 --> 00:26:45.980
 handed over

00:26:45.980 --> 00:26:46.379
 and that he

00:26:46.379 --> 00:26:46.680
 was going to

00:26:46.680 --> 00:26:47.539
 rise again

00:26:47.539 --> 00:26:48.980
 it says

00:26:48.980 --> 00:26:49.659
 that they

00:26:49.659 --> 00:26:50.299
 still did

00:26:50.299 --> 00:26:51.180
 not understand

00:26:51.180 --> 00:26:51.799
 the saying

00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:52.379
 it was

00:26:52.379 --> 00:26:52.680
 hidden

00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:53.240
 from them

00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:55.639
 so they

00:26:55.639 --> 00:26:55.879
 didn't

00:26:55.879 --> 00:26:56.319
 understand

00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:56.759
 that Jesus

00:26:56.759 --> 00:26:57.200
 was going

00:26:57.200 --> 00:26:57.460
 to die

00:26:57.460 --> 00:26:57.759
 but they

00:26:57.759 --> 00:26:58.159
 did kind

00:26:58.159 --> 00:26:58.440
 of get

00:26:58.440 --> 00:26:58.680
 it

00:26:58.680 --> 00:26:59.740
 that he

00:26:59.740 --> 00:27:00.099
 was going

00:27:00.099 --> 00:27:00.659
 to leave

00:27:00.659 --> 00:27:02.000
 and so

00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:02.619
 confusion

00:27:02.619 --> 00:27:03.339
 and sorrow

00:27:03.339 --> 00:27:03.839
 filled their

00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:04.119
 heart

00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:04.940
 but Jesus

00:27:04.940 --> 00:27:05.619
 wants to

00:27:05.619 --> 00:27:06.200
 turn them

00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:07.279
 from sorrow

00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:08.139
 and grief

00:27:08.139 --> 00:27:09.299
 to rejoicing

00:27:09.299 --> 00:27:10.339
 because it

00:27:10.339 --> 00:27:11.240
 is not until

00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:12.119
 or unless

00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:13.019
 he leaves

00:27:13.019 --> 00:27:13.500
 that the

00:27:13.500 --> 00:27:14.200
 Holy Spirit

00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:14.879
 can show up

00:27:14.879 --> 00:27:15.119
 in their

00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:15.480
 life

00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:16.799
 as we see

00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:17.159
 in verse

00:27:17.159 --> 00:27:17.519
 7

00:27:17.539 --> 00:27:20.480
 it is to

00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:21.119
 your advantage

00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:22.259
 that I

00:27:22.259 --> 00:27:22.799
 go away

00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:24.659
 then the

00:27:24.659 --> 00:27:24.980
 helper

00:27:24.980 --> 00:27:25.980
 will come

00:27:25.980 --> 00:27:27.700
 Jesus

00:27:27.700 --> 00:27:28.220
 wanted them

00:27:28.220 --> 00:27:28.759
 to understand

00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:29.200
 that his

00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:29.879
 departure

00:27:29.879 --> 00:27:30.700
 was actually

00:27:30.700 --> 00:27:31.440
 a cause

00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:32.480
 for rejoicing

00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:34.440
 not for

00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:34.819
 sorrow

00:27:34.819 --> 00:27:36.819
 because in

00:27:36.819 --> 00:27:37.480
 his leaving

00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:38.259
 there would

00:27:38.259 --> 00:27:39.099
 follow a

00:27:39.099 --> 00:27:39.559
 sending

00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:41.119
 a sending

00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:42.119
 and a helping

00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:42.899
 from the

00:27:42.899 --> 00:27:43.559
 Holy Spirit

00:27:43.559 --> 00:27:45.980
 that was

00:27:45.980 --> 00:27:46.579
 a mind

00:27:46.579 --> 00:27:47.319
 bending

00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:48.159
 truth

00:27:48.159 --> 00:27:49.440
 they weren't

00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:49.799
 going to

00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:50.519
 grasp that

00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:50.859
 evening

00:27:50.859 --> 00:27:51.919
 but they

00:27:51.919 --> 00:27:52.419
 would come

00:27:52.419 --> 00:27:53.139
 to understand

00:27:53.139 --> 00:27:53.679
 it later

00:27:53.679 --> 00:27:55.299
 the Spirit

00:27:55.299 --> 00:27:56.460
 he's going

00:27:56.460 --> 00:27:56.980
 to come

00:27:56.980 --> 00:27:58.519
 and not

00:27:58.519 --> 00:27:59.299
 only come

00:27:59.299 --> 00:28:00.299
 as we find

00:28:00.299 --> 00:28:01.000
 in chapter

00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:01.839
 14 verse

00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:02.259
 17

00:28:02.259 --> 00:28:03.079
 look at this

00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:03.399
 with me

00:28:03.399 --> 00:28:03.940
 for a second

00:28:03.940 --> 00:28:06.139
 not only

00:28:06.139 --> 00:28:06.639
 would he

00:28:06.639 --> 00:28:07.299
 come

00:28:07.299 --> 00:28:08.419
 but we

00:28:08.419 --> 00:28:09.119
 find at the

00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:09.379
 latter

00:28:09.379 --> 00:28:10.500
 end of

00:28:10.500 --> 00:28:12.380
 verse 17

00:28:12.380 --> 00:28:15.140
 you know

00:28:15.140 --> 00:28:15.500
 him

00:28:15.500 --> 00:28:16.359
 for he

00:28:16.359 --> 00:28:16.859
 dwells

00:28:16.859 --> 00:28:17.619
 with you

00:28:17.619 --> 00:28:18.640
 and he

00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:19.319
 will be

00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:20.359
 in you

00:28:20.359 --> 00:28:23.839
 significant

00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:24.680
 change

00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:25.319
 was going

00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:25.579
 to take

00:28:25.579 --> 00:28:26.099
 place

00:28:26.099 --> 00:28:27.339
 instead of

00:28:27.339 --> 00:28:27.700
 the Spirit

00:28:27.700 --> 00:28:28.019
 of God

00:28:28.019 --> 00:28:28.920
 resting on

00:28:28.920 --> 00:28:29.339
 a life

00:28:29.339 --> 00:28:30.140
 empowering

00:28:30.140 --> 00:28:30.700
 a life

00:28:30.700 --> 00:28:31.420
 now

00:28:31.420 --> 00:28:32.400
 because of

00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:32.940
 Christ

00:28:32.940 --> 00:28:33.880
 finished work

00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:34.140
 on the

00:28:34.140 --> 00:28:34.680
 cross

00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:35.380
 and his

00:28:35.380 --> 00:28:35.920
 resurrection

00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:36.599
 there would

00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:37.119
 be now

00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:37.859
 an indwelling

00:28:37.859 --> 00:28:40.000
 of the Spirit

00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:40.339
 in their

00:28:40.339 --> 00:28:40.720
 life

00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:43.500
 it wasn't

00:28:43.500 --> 00:28:44.339
 that the

00:28:44.339 --> 00:28:44.900
 Holy Spirit

00:28:44.900 --> 00:28:45.420
 and Jesus

00:28:45.420 --> 00:28:46.380
 can't occupy

00:28:46.380 --> 00:28:47.240
 the same

00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:47.859
 space

00:28:47.859 --> 00:28:49.359
 but it was

00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:49.700
 that the

00:28:49.700 --> 00:28:50.240
 Holy Spirit

00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:50.660
 could only

00:28:50.660 --> 00:28:51.099
 come

00:28:51.099 --> 00:28:52.000
 and could

00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:52.640
 indwell

00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:53.359
 a life

00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:54.180
 once

00:28:54.180 --> 00:28:54.900
 Jesus

00:28:54.900 --> 00:28:56.079
 had finished

00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:56.700
 his work

00:28:56.700 --> 00:28:57.279
 of redemption

00:28:57.279 --> 00:28:57.599
 on the

00:28:57.599 --> 00:28:58.019
 cross

00:28:58.019 --> 00:29:00.259
 and it

00:29:00.259 --> 00:29:01.039
 was through

00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:02.220
 the Spirit's

00:29:02.220 --> 00:29:02.720
 indwelling

00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:03.400
 that now

00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:04.079
 incarnation

00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:05.279
 would happen

00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:05.980
 in a different

00:29:05.980 --> 00:29:06.400
 way

00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:07.660
 it would not

00:29:07.660 --> 00:29:08.180
 happen through

00:29:08.180 --> 00:29:08.839
 the person

00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:09.359
 of Christ

00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:09.919
 but it would

00:29:09.919 --> 00:29:10.359
 happen through

00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:11.079
 the body

00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:11.859
 of Christ

00:29:11.859 --> 00:29:13.279
 his bride

00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:14.500
 the church

00:29:14.500 --> 00:29:15.899
 so that

00:29:15.899 --> 00:29:16.259
 wherever

00:29:16.259 --> 00:29:17.139
 the church

00:29:17.139 --> 00:29:17.579
 is

00:29:17.579 --> 00:29:18.859
 wherever a

00:29:18.859 --> 00:29:19.759
 believer is

00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:20.659
 filled with

00:29:20.659 --> 00:29:21.199
 the Spirit

00:29:21.199 --> 00:29:21.939
 there is

00:29:21.939 --> 00:29:23.299
 a representation

00:29:23.299 --> 00:29:25.059
 a likeness

00:29:25.059 --> 00:29:26.059
 to Jesus

00:29:26.059 --> 00:29:28.500
 there is

00:29:28.500 --> 00:29:29.079
 a shining

00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:30.099
 light

00:29:30.099 --> 00:29:30.779
 of Christ

00:29:30.779 --> 00:29:31.959
 that can

00:29:31.959 --> 00:29:32.539
 radiate

00:29:32.539 --> 00:29:33.719
 this world

00:29:33.719 --> 00:29:34.559
 in its

00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:35.439
 transcendence

00:29:35.439 --> 00:29:35.959
 through the

00:29:35.959 --> 00:29:36.299
 church

00:29:36.299 --> 00:29:36.839
 and through

00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:37.859
 the Spirit's

00:29:37.859 --> 00:29:38.219
 work

00:29:38.220 --> 00:29:41.079
 and when

00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:41.539
 he comes

00:29:41.539 --> 00:29:42.180
 we find

00:29:42.180 --> 00:29:43.620
 his threefold

00:29:43.620 --> 00:29:44.079
 ministry

00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:44.500
 here

00:29:44.500 --> 00:29:46.440
 in these

00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:46.940
 verses

00:29:46.940 --> 00:29:49.140
 verse 8

00:29:49.140 --> 00:29:49.799
 when he

00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:50.420
 comes

00:29:50.420 --> 00:29:51.079
 he will

00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:51.519
 convict

00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:51.960
 the world

00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:52.480
 concerning

00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:52.980
 sin

00:29:52.980 --> 00:29:54.980
 concerning

00:29:54.980 --> 00:29:56.039
 righteousness

00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:57.680
 and concerning

00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:58.279
 judgment

00:29:58.279 --> 00:30:01.100
 notice how

00:30:01.100 --> 00:30:01.799
 each of

00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:02.120
 these

00:30:02.120 --> 00:30:02.759
 point to

00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:03.160
 Christ

00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:05.360
 the Spirit

00:30:05.360 --> 00:30:06.580
 who testifies

00:30:06.580 --> 00:30:07.620
 to Jesus

00:30:07.620 --> 00:30:09.000
 will put

00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:10.060
 on display

00:30:10.060 --> 00:30:11.040
 the wonder

00:30:11.040 --> 00:30:12.220
 of Christ's

00:30:12.220 --> 00:30:12.580
 work

00:30:12.580 --> 00:30:13.820
 that will

00:30:13.820 --> 00:30:14.640
 expose

00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:15.320
 sin

00:30:15.320 --> 00:30:17.860
 sin

00:30:17.860 --> 00:30:18.900
 that fundamentally

00:30:18.900 --> 00:30:20.220
 is not

00:30:20.220 --> 00:30:20.720
 believing

00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:21.660
 in Jesus

00:30:21.660 --> 00:30:23.040
 as Jesus

00:30:23.040 --> 00:30:23.640
 says here

00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:24.320
 in verse 9

00:30:24.320 --> 00:30:25.600
 concerning sin

00:30:25.600 --> 00:30:26.500
 because they do

00:30:26.500 --> 00:30:27.560
 not believe

00:30:27.560 --> 00:30:28.060
 in me

00:30:28.059 --> 00:30:30.259
 every sin

00:30:30.259 --> 00:30:30.619
 that we

00:30:30.619 --> 00:30:31.000
 commit

00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:31.859
 is due

00:30:31.859 --> 00:30:32.299
 to a

00:30:32.299 --> 00:30:32.919
 deficiency

00:30:32.919 --> 00:30:34.059
 of faith

00:30:34.059 --> 00:30:34.740
 in God

00:30:34.740 --> 00:30:36.639
 we believe

00:30:36.639 --> 00:30:37.279
 that our way

00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:37.859
 is a better

00:30:37.859 --> 00:30:38.159
 way

00:30:38.159 --> 00:30:39.700
 we believe

00:30:39.700 --> 00:30:40.399
 that our way

00:30:40.399 --> 00:30:41.539
 is an easier

00:30:41.539 --> 00:30:42.319
 way

00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:43.940
 we believe

00:30:43.940 --> 00:30:44.819
 that our way

00:30:44.819 --> 00:30:45.899
 is a happier

00:30:45.899 --> 00:30:46.779
 way

00:30:46.779 --> 00:30:48.819
 that our way

00:30:48.819 --> 00:30:49.639
 avoids the

00:30:49.639 --> 00:30:50.500
 unwanted

00:30:50.500 --> 00:30:51.399
 pressures

00:30:51.399 --> 00:30:52.619
 that we face

00:30:52.619 --> 00:30:54.299
 and in taking

00:30:54.299 --> 00:30:55.039
 matters into

00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:55.819
 our hands

00:30:55.819 --> 00:30:57.859
 our lack

00:30:57.859 --> 00:30:58.259
 of faith

00:30:58.259 --> 00:30:58.919
 in Christ

00:30:58.919 --> 00:30:59.839
 leads us

00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:00.359
 to sin

00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:02.179
 but the

00:31:02.179 --> 00:31:02.559
 Spirit has

00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:02.980
 come to

00:31:02.980 --> 00:31:03.599
 expose

00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:04.379
 that sin

00:31:04.379 --> 00:31:06.539
 he exposes

00:31:06.539 --> 00:31:07.759
 the righteousness

00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:09.000
 of Jesus

00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:09.599
 as well

00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:11.179
 as Jesus

00:31:11.179 --> 00:31:11.980
 goes to the

00:31:11.980 --> 00:31:12.319
 Father

00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:13.619
 a representation

00:31:13.619 --> 00:31:14.639
 of the

00:31:14.639 --> 00:31:15.220
 fact that

00:31:15.220 --> 00:31:15.819
 the work

00:31:15.819 --> 00:31:16.480
 that Christ

00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:17.000
 did on the

00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:17.299
 earth

00:31:17.299 --> 00:31:18.960
 was accepted

00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:20.039
 by the

00:31:20.039 --> 00:31:20.379
 Father

00:31:20.379 --> 00:31:22.039
 the work

00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:22.500
 that Christ

00:31:22.500 --> 00:31:22.859
 did

00:31:22.859 --> 00:31:23.720
 fulfilled

00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:24.879
 the

00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:25.840
 standards

00:31:25.840 --> 00:31:26.520
 of the

00:31:26.520 --> 00:31:26.860
 Father

00:31:26.860 --> 00:31:29.880
 that Jesus

00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:30.700
 was the

00:31:30.700 --> 00:31:31.400
 picture

00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:32.160
 of righteousness

00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:33.920
 the completion

00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:34.720
 of the law

00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:36.440
 the only one

00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:37.080
 who could measure

00:31:37.080 --> 00:31:37.860
 up to the

00:31:37.860 --> 00:31:38.680
 standard of God

00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:40.980
 and in that

00:31:40.980 --> 00:31:42.240
 it helps

00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:42.980
 to expose

00:31:42.980 --> 00:31:44.580
 the inadequacy

00:31:44.580 --> 00:31:45.740
 of the

00:31:45.740 --> 00:31:46.180
 righteousness

00:31:46.180 --> 00:31:47.420
 in our life

00:31:47.420 --> 00:31:49.100
 as the

00:31:49.100 --> 00:31:49.600
 Sermon on the

00:31:49.600 --> 00:31:49.820
 Mount

00:31:49.820 --> 00:31:50.820
 so clearly

00:31:50.820 --> 00:31:51.740
 helps us

00:31:51.740 --> 00:31:51.980
 with

00:31:51.980 --> 00:31:52.360
 Jesus

00:31:52.360 --> 00:31:53.260
 takes the

00:31:53.260 --> 00:31:53.840
 Old Testament

00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:54.259
 law

00:31:54.259 --> 00:31:55.339
 and demonstrates

00:31:55.339 --> 00:31:56.379
 that what

00:31:56.379 --> 00:31:57.220
 we think

00:31:57.220 --> 00:31:57.619
 to be

00:31:57.619 --> 00:31:58.199
 the standard

00:31:58.199 --> 00:31:58.839
 of morality

00:31:58.839 --> 00:32:00.399
 is so much

00:32:00.399 --> 00:32:00.779
 deeper

00:32:00.779 --> 00:32:02.500
 he says

00:32:02.500 --> 00:32:03.099
 you have heard

00:32:03.099 --> 00:32:03.500
 it said

00:32:03.500 --> 00:32:04.039
 you shall not

00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:04.379
 murder

00:32:04.379 --> 00:32:06.500
 but I say

00:32:06.500 --> 00:32:06.879
 to you

00:32:06.879 --> 00:32:07.899
 that everyone

00:32:07.899 --> 00:32:08.919
 who is angry

00:32:08.919 --> 00:32:09.759
 with his brother

00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:11.319
 is liable

00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:12.799
 of judgment

00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:14.699
 he says

00:32:14.699 --> 00:32:15.240
 you have heard

00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:15.659
 it said

00:32:15.659 --> 00:32:16.159
 love your

00:32:16.159 --> 00:32:16.480
 neighbor

00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:17.119
 and hate

00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:17.599
 your enemy

00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:19.199
 but I say

00:32:19.199 --> 00:32:19.419
 to you

00:32:19.419 --> 00:32:20.000
 love your

00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:20.399
 enemies

00:32:20.399 --> 00:32:21.259
 and pray

00:32:21.259 --> 00:32:21.919
 for those

00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:22.880
 who persecute

00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:23.120
 you

00:32:23.120 --> 00:32:24.000
 Jesus

00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:24.640
 took the

00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:25.519
 Old Testament

00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:26.080
 standards

00:32:26.080 --> 00:32:27.100
 and demonstrated

00:32:27.100 --> 00:32:27.880
 what true

00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:28.420
 righteousness

00:32:28.420 --> 00:32:29.259
 looked like

00:32:29.259 --> 00:32:30.840
 not just

00:32:30.840 --> 00:32:31.519
 following the

00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:32.279
 letter of the

00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:32.500
 law

00:32:32.500 --> 00:32:33.100
 but it

00:32:33.100 --> 00:32:33.560
 went much

00:32:33.560 --> 00:32:33.900
 deeper

00:32:33.900 --> 00:32:34.279
 to the

00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:34.700
 heart

00:32:34.700 --> 00:32:37.160
 and exposed

00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:38.600
 the rottenness

00:32:38.600 --> 00:32:40.100
 of our soul

00:32:40.100 --> 00:32:42.440
 and the

00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:43.259
 spirit comes

00:32:43.259 --> 00:32:44.779
 to convict

00:32:44.779 --> 00:32:45.140
 the world

00:32:45.140 --> 00:32:45.680
 of judgment

00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:47.120
 because the

00:32:47.120 --> 00:32:47.800
 ruler of this

00:32:47.800 --> 00:32:48.600
 world is judged

00:32:48.600 --> 00:32:49.039
 it says

00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:49.859
 in verse 11

00:32:49.859 --> 00:32:51.960
 those who

00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:52.420
 abide in

00:32:52.420 --> 00:32:52.759
 Christ

00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:53.159
 as we've

00:32:53.159 --> 00:32:53.500
 seen

00:32:53.500 --> 00:32:54.299
 in previous

00:32:54.299 --> 00:32:54.700
 verses

00:32:54.700 --> 00:32:56.259
 will experience

00:32:56.259 --> 00:32:57.240
 the joy

00:32:57.240 --> 00:32:57.759
 of being

00:32:57.759 --> 00:32:58.399
 with Christ

00:32:58.399 --> 00:32:58.839
 and with the

00:32:58.839 --> 00:32:59.139
 father

00:32:59.139 --> 00:33:00.899
 but those

00:33:00.899 --> 00:33:01.420
 who align

00:33:01.420 --> 00:33:02.000
 themselves

00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:02.539
 to the

00:33:02.539 --> 00:33:02.740
 world

00:33:02.740 --> 00:33:03.619
 will experience

00:33:03.619 --> 00:33:04.559
 the judgment

00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:05.299
 that comes

00:33:05.299 --> 00:33:06.399
 on the

00:33:06.399 --> 00:33:06.700
 devil

00:33:06.700 --> 00:33:08.379
 and those

00:33:08.379 --> 00:33:09.299
 who follow

00:33:09.299 --> 00:33:10.220
 the devil's

00:33:10.220 --> 00:33:10.700
 footsteps

00:33:10.700 --> 00:33:13.019
 who are not

00:33:13.019 --> 00:33:13.920
 abiding in

00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:14.359
 Christ

00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:16.480
 will also

00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:17.200
 experience the

00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:17.659
 judgment of

00:33:17.659 --> 00:33:17.879
 God

00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:20.060
 there is

00:33:20.060 --> 00:33:21.260
 a lawgiver

00:33:21.260 --> 00:33:22.660
 there is

00:33:22.660 --> 00:33:23.380
 a standard

00:33:23.380 --> 00:33:24.440
 and there

00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:24.780
 will be

00:33:24.780 --> 00:33:25.140
 judgment

00:33:25.140 --> 00:33:26.460
 and the

00:33:26.460 --> 00:33:27.480
 spirit comes

00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:28.020
 to help

00:33:28.020 --> 00:33:29.300
 expose those

00:33:29.300 --> 00:33:30.040
 things in

00:33:30.040 --> 00:33:30.660
 a heart

00:33:30.660 --> 00:33:31.060
 and in a

00:33:31.060 --> 00:33:31.260
 life

00:33:31.260 --> 00:33:31.700
 he makes

00:33:31.700 --> 00:33:32.400
 the gospel

00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:32.820
 clear

00:33:32.820 --> 00:33:33.460
 he makes

00:33:33.460 --> 00:33:34.080
 Jesus

00:33:34.080 --> 00:33:35.640
 clear in

00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:36.180
 the eyes

00:33:36.180 --> 00:33:36.920
 of the

00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:37.260
 world

00:33:37.260 --> 00:33:40.600
 and we

00:33:40.600 --> 00:33:41.080
 entrust

00:33:41.080 --> 00:33:41.940
 the gospel

00:33:41.940 --> 00:33:42.920
 to the

00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:43.220
 spirit

00:33:43.220 --> 00:33:43.740
 to work

00:33:43.740 --> 00:33:43.980
 in a

00:33:43.980 --> 00:33:44.340
 life

00:33:44.340 --> 00:33:45.440
 of those

00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:45.900
 who hear

00:33:45.900 --> 00:33:47.360
 not only

00:33:47.360 --> 00:33:47.660
 to make

00:33:47.660 --> 00:33:48.000
 it clear

00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:48.300
 but to

00:33:48.300 --> 00:33:49.019
 draw them

00:33:49.019 --> 00:33:50.019
 to

00:33:50.019 --> 00:33:51.040
 affection

00:33:51.040 --> 00:33:51.500
 for the

00:33:51.500 --> 00:33:51.759
 savior

00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:53.320
 and finally

00:33:53.320 --> 00:33:53.800
 we come

00:33:53.800 --> 00:33:54.660
 to verses

00:33:54.660 --> 00:33:55.160
 12 to

00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:55.540
 15

00:33:55.540 --> 00:33:56.820
 we see

00:33:56.820 --> 00:33:57.200
 here that

00:33:57.200 --> 00:33:57.500
 there is

00:33:57.500 --> 00:33:57.980
 help to

00:33:57.980 --> 00:33:58.440
 clarify

00:33:58.440 --> 00:33:59.580
 the word

00:33:59.580 --> 00:34:00.780
 help to

00:34:00.780 --> 00:34:01.240
 clarify

00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:02.019
 the word

00:34:02.019 --> 00:34:05.700
 verse 12

00:34:05.700 --> 00:34:06.359
 says this

00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:07.819
 I still

00:34:07.819 --> 00:34:08.199
 have many

00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:08.699
 things to

00:34:08.699 --> 00:34:08.980
 say to

00:34:08.980 --> 00:34:09.179
 you

00:34:09.179 --> 00:34:10.780
 but you

00:34:10.780 --> 00:34:11.139
 cannot

00:34:11.139 --> 00:34:11.719
 bear them

00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:11.980
 now

00:34:11.980 --> 00:34:13.340
 when the

00:34:13.340 --> 00:34:13.780
 spirit of

00:34:13.780 --> 00:34:13.980
 truth

00:34:13.980 --> 00:34:14.340
 comes

00:34:14.340 --> 00:34:14.659
 he will

00:34:14.659 --> 00:34:15.039
 guide

00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:15.259
 you

00:34:15.259 --> 00:34:15.460
 into

00:34:15.460 --> 00:34:15.699
 all

00:34:15.699 --> 00:34:16.079
 truth

00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:17.300
 for he

00:34:17.300 --> 00:34:17.699
 will not

00:34:17.699 --> 00:34:18.059
 speak

00:34:18.059 --> 00:34:18.380
 on his

00:34:18.380 --> 00:34:18.579
 own

00:34:18.579 --> 00:34:19.019
 authority

00:34:19.019 --> 00:34:19.900
 but

00:34:19.900 --> 00:34:20.219
 whatever

00:34:20.219 --> 00:34:20.539
 he

00:34:20.539 --> 00:34:21.079
 hears

00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:21.639
 he

00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:22.259
 speaks

00:34:22.259 --> 00:34:23.099
 and he

00:34:23.099 --> 00:34:23.219
 will

00:34:23.219 --> 00:34:23.539
 declare

00:34:23.539 --> 00:34:23.719
 to

00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:23.900
 you

00:34:23.900 --> 00:34:24.099
 the

00:34:24.099 --> 00:34:24.460
 things

00:34:24.460 --> 00:34:24.659
 that

00:34:24.659 --> 00:34:24.739
 are

00:34:24.739 --> 00:34:24.860
 to

00:34:24.860 --> 00:34:25.099
 come

00:34:25.099 --> 00:34:26.259
 he

00:34:26.259 --> 00:34:26.460
 will

00:34:26.460 --> 00:34:26.900
 glorify

00:34:26.900 --> 00:34:27.179
 me

00:34:27.179 --> 00:34:27.500
 for

00:34:27.500 --> 00:34:28.099
 he

00:34:28.099 --> 00:34:28.380
 will

00:34:28.380 --> 00:34:28.719
 take

00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:28.940
 what

00:34:28.940 --> 00:34:29.079
 is

00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:29.420
 mine

00:34:29.420 --> 00:34:29.599
 and

00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:29.860
 declare

00:34:29.860 --> 00:34:30.000
 it

00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:30.099
 to

00:34:30.099 --> 00:34:30.339
 you

00:34:30.339 --> 00:34:31.619
 all

00:34:31.619 --> 00:34:31.779
 that

00:34:31.779 --> 00:34:31.900
 the

00:34:31.900 --> 00:34:32.199
 father

00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:32.619
 has

00:34:32.779 --> 00:34:33.099
 mine

00:34:33.099 --> 00:34:33.739
 therefore

00:34:33.739 --> 00:34:34.719
 I

00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:35.039
 said

00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:35.559
 that

00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:36.440
 that

00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:36.799
 he

00:34:36.799 --> 00:34:37.099
 will

00:34:37.099 --> 00:34:37.480
 take

 mine

00:34:38.819 --> 00:34:39.139
 declare

00:34:39.139 --> 00:34:39.360
 it

00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:39.500
 to

00:34:39.500 --> 00:34:39.799
 you

00:34:39.799 --> 00:34:41.559
 we

00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:41.759
 read

00:34:41.759 --> 00:34:41.960
 these

00:34:41.960 --> 00:34:42.279
 verses

00:34:42.279 --> 00:34:42.519
 and

00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:42.699
 it's

00:34:42.699 --> 00:34:43.159
 almost

00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:44.159
 unimaginable

00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:45.139
 that

00:34:45.139 --> 00:34:45.279
 in

00:34:45.279 --> 00:34:45.539
 three

00:34:45.539 --> 00:34:46.039
 years

00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:46.339
 of

00:34:46.339 --> 00:34:46.860
 ministry

00:34:46.860 --> 00:34:47.099
 in

00:34:47.099 --> 00:34:47.500
 Jesus

00:34:47.500 --> 00:34:48.719
 speaking

00:34:48.719 --> 00:34:49.159
 and

 preaching

00:34:50.420 --> 00:34:50.699
 to

00:34:50.699 --> 00:34:50.900

00:34:51.299 --> 00:34:51.440
 the

00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:51.799
 masses

00:34:51.799 --> 00:34:52.699
 and

00:34:52.699 --> 00:34:53.199
 interacting

00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:53.440
 with

00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:53.519
 the

00:34:53.519 --> 00:34:53.920
 disciples

00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:54.179
 in

00:34:54.179 --> 00:34:54.559
 private

 there

00:34:55.579 --> 00:34:55.699
 were

00:34:55.699 --> 00:34:55.940
 still

00:34:55.940 --> 00:34:56.219
 more

00:34:56.219 --> 00:34:56.619
 things

00:34:56.619 --> 00:34:56.860

00:34:56.860 --> 00:34:57.239
 Jesus

00:35:00.779 --> 00:35:01.099
 men

00:35:01.099 --> 00:35:03.119

 things

 difficult

00:35:06.320 --> 00:35:06.920
 things

00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:07.980
 things

00:35:07.980 --> 00:35:08.199
 that

00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:08.400
 were

00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:08.960
 beyond

00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:09.199
 their

00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:09.599
 ability

 these

00:35:14.279 --> 00:35:14.739
 moments

00:35:14.739 --> 00:35:16.480
 but

00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:16.659
 the

00:35:16.659 --> 00:35:16.940
 spirit

00:35:16.940 --> 00:35:17.179
 would

00:35:17.179 --> 00:35:17.420
 guide

00:35:17.420 --> 00:35:17.639
 them

00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:19.759
 spirit

00:35:19.759 --> 00:35:19.960
 would

00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:20.259
 speak

00:35:20.259 --> 00:35:20.440
 the

00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:20.779
 things

00:35:20.779 --> 00:35:21.119
 about

00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:21.559
 Christ

00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:21.820
 he

00:35:21.820 --> 00:35:22.179
 would

00:35:22.179 --> 00:35:22.940
 remind

00:35:22.940 --> 00:35:23.219
 them

00:35:23.219 --> 00:35:23.480
 about

00:35:23.480 --> 00:35:23.679
 the

00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:23.900
 things

00:35:23.900 --> 00:35:24.039
 that

00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:24.280
 Jesus

00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:24.880
 said

00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:25.039
 and

00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:25.340
 did

00:35:25.340 --> 00:35:26.320
 that

00:35:26.320 --> 00:35:26.460
 would

00:35:26.460 --> 00:35:26.720
 be a

00:35:26.720 --> 00:35:27.180
 testimony

00:35:27.180 --> 00:35:27.780
 to

00:35:27.780 --> 00:35:28.019

00:35:33.380 --> 00:35:34.260
 we find

00:35:34.260 --> 00:35:34.500
 that he

00:35:34.500 --> 00:35:34.940
 would also

00:35:34.940 --> 00:35:35.579

00:35:54.839 --> 00:35:55.239
 we see

00:35:55.239 --> 00:35:55.659
 that they

00:35:55.659 --> 00:35:56.319
 elected

 the

00:37:42.780 --> 00:37:43.119
 reason

00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:43.519
 why

00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:44.820
 we

00:37:44.820 --> 00:37:46.000
 don't

 in

 our

00:37:48.320 --> 00:37:48.679
 life

00:37:48.679 --> 00:37:49.980
 is

00:37:49.980 --> 00:37:50.480
 because

00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:51.360
 those

00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:51.900
 things

00:37:51.900 --> 00:37:52.240
 are

00:37:52.240 --> 00:37:52.460
 kind

00:37:52.460 --> 00:37:52.559
 of

00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:52.780
 put

00:37:52.780 --> 00:37:53.099
 on

00:37:53.099 --> 00:37:53.519
 the

00:37:53.519 --> 00:37:53.800
 back

00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:54.019
 burner

00:37:54.019 --> 00:37:54.300
 they're

00:37:54.300 --> 00:37:54.920
 not

00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:55.320
 so

00:37:55.320 --> 00:37:55.980
 important

00:37:55.980 --> 00:37:56.800
 yes

00:37:56.800 --> 00:37:56.960
 we

00:37:56.960 --> 00:37:57.200
 might

00:37:57.200 --> 00:37:57.740
 read

00:37:57.740 --> 00:37:58.000
 the

00:37:58.000 --> 00:37:58.460
 scriptures

00:37:58.460 --> 00:37:58.920
 but

00:37:58.920 --> 00:37:59.900
 when

00:37:59.900 --> 00:38:00.059
 it

00:38:00.059 --> 00:38:00.380
 comes

00:38:00.380 --> 00:38:00.579
 to

00:38:00.579 --> 00:38:01.019
 really

00:38:01.019 --> 00:38:01.380
 digging

00:38:01.380 --> 00:38:01.760
 in

00:38:01.760 --> 00:38:02.039
 and

00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:02.420

00:38:03.680 --> 00:38:05.240
 it's

00:38:05.240 --> 00:38:05.440
 so

00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:05.599
 much

00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:06.079
 easier
