00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.900
 Father, we ask that you would gently but deeply and powerfully pour out your Holy Spirit upon us now as we open your word.

00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:18.500
 Father, we confess before you that we hide from you, that we run from you, that we judge you, that we turn our backs on you.

00:00:18.500 --> 00:00:38.560
 And we give you thanks and praise, Father, that you seek us, you seek to bring life to people like us, that we might be worshipers in spirit and in truth, who trust you and honor you and welcome you and obey you.

00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:52.880
 And Father, we need your help. So, Father, may your Holy Spirit be poured out deep within us and may the words, your word written, Father, may it be written in the very command center of our lives.

00:00:53.280 --> 00:01:03.140
 And we ask this in the name of Jesus, your Son and our Savior. In Jesus' name, amen. Let's be seated, please.

00:01:03.140 --> 00:01:04.140
 Amen.

00:01:04.140 --> 00:01:05.140
 Amen.

00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:17.219
 So, I don't know, how many of you remember or have heard of Catherine Kuhlman? Okay, you've all aged yourself because I think she's been dead for 30 years or something like that, maybe even longer.

00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:26.659
 But Catherine Kuhlman was a sort of a fascinating woman and she had an evangelistic ministry and she was a little bit like a female Benny Hinn.

00:01:26.659 --> 00:01:38.939
 She went around doing miracles, like miracle services and I had only been a Christian for about a year or two and she came to Ottawa and at the time I had a summer job.

00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:51.019
 The only time I actually have worked for any level of government and it was for the city of Ottawa, I worked in the section of the government where we processed your parking tickets.

00:01:51.019 --> 00:01:58.379
 So, back then, if you had had a parking ticket that year, my hands were on it at one point in time.

00:01:58.479 --> 00:02:01.219
 I moved it from one pile to another. I can't remember what I did.

00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:08.359
 But anyway, so Catherine Kuhlman was coming and I'll be honest, I wanted to go and see a miracle.

00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:10.819
 I'll be honest, that's what I wanted to do.

00:02:11.460 --> 00:02:15.199
 I mean, that's how it was advertised, she was famous, I wanted to go see a miracle.

00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:17.459
 I know, yeah, anyway, so I did.

00:02:17.619 --> 00:02:28.579
 So, I went, there was a huge lineup and she filled like 10,000 people, 12,000 people, the Scotiabank place or whatever it's called now, wasn't built.

00:02:29.399 --> 00:02:34.679
 And so, it was the old, you know, the underneath the Lansdowne Park, whatever that used to be called.

00:02:34.939 --> 00:02:40.379
 And she filled that place and she's very dramatic and very flowery.

00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:45.560
 And, you know, she had people coming up saying that miracles happened, but I didn't see anything happened.

00:02:45.740 --> 00:02:47.620
 And I have to confess, I was very disappointed.

00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:51.319
 This is just me sharing it with you. I was disappointed.

00:02:51.879 --> 00:03:01.479
 When I got to work, during the, over the course of the May and June, the people in the office had discovered that I was a Christian.

00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:04.939
 There were about 10 of us in the office. I was the only Christian.

00:03:04.939 --> 00:03:15.120
 In fact, the others, none of them, I think most of them were sort of some type of Roman Catholic, but the type of Roman Catholic, they just basically went to Mass on Christmas and Easter.

00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.539
 Or I guess when they'd maybe done something really bad and they felt guilty.

00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.819
 But they basically, they didn't say they were Christians.

00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:24.020
 They said they might have been Catholic.

00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:30.560
 But anyway, so it came up that they knew that I was a Christian and somehow or another it had come up and they'd asked me different questions.

00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:38.819
 And about a week or so after the Catherine Kuhlman event, it came up that one of the guys had gone to the Catherine Kuhlman event.

00:03:40.180 --> 00:03:42.219
 And I said, oh, what did you think of it?

00:03:42.259 --> 00:03:44.840
 He said, well, it was the weirdest thing, he said.

00:03:45.300 --> 00:03:50.099
 I was sitting beside a woman and the woman had a disfigured arm.

00:03:51.219 --> 00:03:56.480
 And as Catherine Kuhlman prayed, the arm went straight and I saw it.

00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:02.379
 And I said, inwardly, I'm going, wow, I wish that was me.

00:04:05.079 --> 00:04:08.120
 And he said, it was the darndest thing.

00:04:08.839 --> 00:04:10.339
 And I said, well, what do you think it meant?

00:04:10.399 --> 00:04:10.939
 I don't know.

00:04:11.019 --> 00:04:12.340
 It's the darndest thing.

00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:16.500
 Did you go to, like, are you interested in Jesus?

00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:16.980
 No.

00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:18.439
 It was the darndest thing.

00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:19.360
 That's all he kept saying.

00:04:19.420 --> 00:04:21.339
 It was the darndest thing.

00:04:21.339 --> 00:04:28.560
 He was a, you know, one of those proper people of the old school who would never have said the DA, you know, the rest of it.

00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:30.399
 He'd said darndest all the way.

00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.319
 And the rest of the summer, he had no interest in talking to me about Christianity.

00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:39.699
 To my knowledge, he never went to church once afterwards, but he saw what I want.

00:04:39.779 --> 00:04:40.479
 He saw a miracle.

00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:42.939
 Didn't do a difference to him at all.

00:04:43.039 --> 00:04:44.519
 Now, I never saw him again afterwards.

00:04:44.659 --> 00:04:44.879
 Who knows?

00:04:44.939 --> 00:04:46.039
 Maybe he became a Christian later.

00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.500
 But it made no impact on him other than that was the darndest thing.

00:04:51.220 --> 00:05:01.740
 And I have had, over the years, I have had many, many people say to me, George, if God wanted me to believe in him, all he'd have to do is just do a miracle in front of me and I'd believe him.

00:05:03.340 --> 00:05:09.080
 Like, if God wanted, like, if God either doesn't exist or he doesn't want me to believe in him because he doesn't do a miracle in front of me.

00:05:09.100 --> 00:05:10.340
 I've had many people say that.

00:05:10.339 --> 00:05:16.719
 And I have to confess, there's been times in my life I've wanted God to do some type of a miracle because I thought it would help my faith.

00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:19.959
 So what's going on with all of this type of story?

00:05:20.500 --> 00:05:21.919
 Like, many of us have this thing.

00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:23.019
 Many of you could relate to it.

00:05:23.060 --> 00:05:25.039
 Many of you might say you wish you could see a miracle.

00:05:25.159 --> 00:05:26.459
 Maybe some of you have seen a miracle.

00:05:26.599 --> 00:05:33.459
 I've actually had, maybe I'll tell you later on about it, I actually have more than once, but one very dramatic time that there was a miracle.

00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:36.979
 But what's going on with our desire for miracles?

00:05:36.980 --> 00:05:40.400
 Why is it that sometimes it just seems as if God doesn't do anything?

00:05:40.819 --> 00:05:51.300
 Well, the story that happens in John's gospel is very helpful for us to understand what goes on with God, what he does, what he does, and why he doesn't do what he doesn't do.

00:05:51.740 --> 00:05:58.300
 So if you turn to John chapter 4, we're going to read this story.

00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:01.080
 And it goes like this.

00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:16.959
 So remember what I just said a little bit earlier, in the beginning of John chapter 4, God leads Jesus into a place where the people are semi-pagan, semi-Jewish, half-Jewish, half-Jewish, half-Pagan.

00:06:17.459 --> 00:06:22.199
 And they've been at enmity with the Jewish people, and the Jewish people have been at enmity with them for 800 years.

00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:27.519
 There's an 800-year-long argument, and God sends Jesus into Samaria.

00:06:28.939 --> 00:06:31.879
 He ends up initiating a conversation with a woman at the well.

00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:39.620
 She ends up coming to believe in him, and she witnesses to the crowd, the village, many in the village come.

00:06:39.620 --> 00:06:47.860
 And after two days of talking with Jesus, in verse 42, they say to the woman, John chapter 4, verse 42, they say to the woman,

00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:57.819
 It is no longer because what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world.

00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:04.160
 And after two days, the two days, he'd spent two days with them, he departed for Galilee.

00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:12.600
 For Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.

00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:21.700
 So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they too had gone to the feast.

00:07:21.760 --> 00:07:23.080
 Now just sort of pause there.

00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:25.960
 Some of you are probably a little bit puzzled.

00:07:26.220 --> 00:07:30.680
 Why does it say that he's not having any honor, and why does it say they welcome him?

00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.379
 And is that a bit of a contradiction or what's going on?

00:07:33.379 --> 00:07:37.759
 Well, it's a very, very important part of the story, which is going to be developed as we go on.

00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:40.519
 But here's the first thing.

00:07:40.579 --> 00:07:43.519
 If you could put the first point up, Andrew, that would be very helpful.

00:07:44.379 --> 00:07:50.319
 The very important thing is that Jesus goes to where he is not honored.

00:07:51.779 --> 00:07:54.159
 It's actually a really significant thing.

00:07:54.160 --> 00:08:08.680
 We Canadians tend to think that, in fact, actually, we don't honor, I mean, you know, we just sort of, we want to go where we're honored.

00:08:08.760 --> 00:08:10.400
 We don't like going where we're not honored.

00:08:10.540 --> 00:08:16.379
 But Jesus intentionally goes to where he knows he is not being honored.

00:08:16.379 --> 00:08:18.579
 And he doesn't go with a big stick.

00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:22.259
 He doesn't go to sort of say, I'm going to beat these people up.

00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:23.420
 I'm going to overwhelm them.

00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:25.680
 I'm going to do things to force them to honor me.

00:08:25.860 --> 00:08:28.579
 But it's just very significant that he goes where he's not honored.

00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:35.980
 And it's an important thing for us to understand about the gospel, that what the gospel is all about,

00:08:35.980 --> 00:08:42.680
 it is not about the human race crying out to God and saying, God, why are you abandoning us?

00:08:42.779 --> 00:08:44.840
 Why are you leaving us all alone?

00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:47.460
 Father, why are you doing this?

00:08:47.580 --> 00:08:48.860
 Please come to us.

00:08:48.920 --> 00:08:51.159
 We desperately need you to come to us.

00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:59.519
 The gospel is not all about human beings crying out to God and saying, God, you know, please stop doing whatever you're doing.

00:08:59.659 --> 00:09:02.399
 Stop just spending all your time with the Son and the Holy Spirit.

00:09:02.560 --> 00:09:03.620
 Please come down to us.

00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:05.080
 It's not like that at all.

00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:08.480
 The heart of the gospel is that human beings do not honor God.

00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.620
 And because we don't honor him, we don't really want God to come as God.

00:09:14.060 --> 00:09:15.680
 But he comes anyway.

00:09:17.160 --> 00:09:25.620
 And in the previous story, if you go back earlier, one of the things which we talked about this a little bit last week,

00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:30.759
 is that it's not the case that human beings are really seeking after God,

00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:34.120
 but human beings, we hide amongst our idols.

00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:35.940
 We turn our back on God.

00:09:36.019 --> 00:09:37.299
 We walk away from God.

00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:38.600
 We run away from God.

00:09:38.740 --> 00:09:40.279
 And God seeks us.

00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:45.120
 The question never is for us to say to God, God, why is it that you have no interest in us?

00:09:45.220 --> 00:09:51.100
 The question always should be, Father, why is it that I'm hiding from you amongst my idols?

00:09:51.179 --> 00:09:52.460
 Because you are seeking me.

00:09:52.460 --> 00:10:00.160
 And here we see this lesson continue to be taught, that Jesus willingly is going to where he is not honored, but he is welcomed.

00:10:01.780 --> 00:10:05.139
 He's welcomed, but he's not honored.

00:10:05.860 --> 00:10:09.940
 That's an important part of the dynamic of the story.

00:10:09.940 --> 00:10:17.340
 But Jesus comes to us even when he is not initially honored.

00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:25.800
 So, now some of you, you know, might say, okay, George, that's, well, that's sort of a very curious thing.

00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:31.180
 I'm going to be interested to see how this all sort of, you know, all sort of develops out.

00:10:31.179 --> 00:10:44.959
 But, like, I don't know, George, you'd sort of think that if they're welcoming Jesus and they're pretty excited to see him, that that's a good thing.

00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.819
 You know, in fact, I like going places where I'm welcomed.

00:10:48.820 --> 00:11:03.020
 And, but, you know, if you think about it for a second, and the word here, honor, doesn't mean that it's not like when Charlie comes here and we all go, oh, oh, oh.

00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:13.920
 And there's a whole big line up to kneel and kiss his ring, and he just walks down the aisle slowly with his ring out, everybody rushing forward to kneel and kiss his ring.

00:11:14.300 --> 00:11:17.520
 And if that's not going to happen, he's not coming, you know.

00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:19.779
 And it's not like that at all.

00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:22.639
 But it's a matter of recognizing you for who you are.

00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:30.079
 That's, you see, that's sort of what is at the heart of this particular story.

00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:43.279
 So, like, for instance, in one of the things which is complicated in relationships is, you know, when I first asked my wife out on a date,

00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:51.679
 what happens in dates is you start to try to get to know the other person, yet you have an impression about the other person.

00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.699
 And maybe you try to make, obviously, you try to make a good impression on your date.

00:11:56.700 --> 00:12:08.640
 But as you're going on, it's not, what you really want in a marriage is you're looking for somebody who you believe that you can start to reveal who you are to them

00:12:08.640 --> 00:12:12.500
 and that they will respect and honor who it is that you are.

00:12:12.500 --> 00:12:22.399
 And in a marriage, we want somebody that we can reveal ourselves to, at least begin to reveal ourselves to,

00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:30.759
 and they can begin to reveal themselves to us, and that we know them as they are.

00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:41.600
 But if, in my relationship with Louise, I always relate to her in terms of thinking that she's like a different type of person,

00:12:42.259 --> 00:12:45.740
 that's not going to build the relationship at all whatsoever.

00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:54.059
 And so the dynamic that's going on in the text isn't that Jesus is sort of forcing himself to be honored,

00:12:54.059 --> 00:13:01.179
 but he recognizes that they welcome him, but they welcome him in the same way that we might be very excited to find out

00:13:01.179 --> 00:13:06.179
 that a really good magician was going to be able to be here and do all sorts of works of wonder.

00:13:07.699 --> 00:13:15.879
 And Jesus just, he knows that they are trying to get something out of him, they just want to be dazzled,

00:13:15.939 --> 00:13:20.419
 they just want to be amazed, that there's other deeper heart things going on,

00:13:20.419 --> 00:13:28.379
 but fundamentally, they haven't caught on as to what the miracles mean and what his teaching means.

00:13:29.139 --> 00:13:30.339
 But he goes there anyway.

00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:32.139
 So what happens?

00:13:32.599 --> 00:13:34.319
 Well, that goes on in verse 46.

00:13:35.219 --> 00:13:40.279
 So he came to Cana in Galilee where he had made the water wine,

00:13:40.719 --> 00:13:44.399
 and at Capernaum, there was an official whose son was ill.

00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:50.439
 So Capernaum is about 35 kilometers downhill from Cana.

00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:53.480
 And verse 47,

00:13:53.620 --> 00:13:57.220
 When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee,

00:13:58.379 --> 00:14:03.459
 the man went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son,

00:14:04.220 --> 00:14:05.759
 for he was at the point of death.

00:14:05.819 --> 00:14:07.279
 The son was at the point of death.

00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:09.220
 So Jesus said to him,

00:14:09.220 --> 00:14:15.040
 And it's really important that you notice that what Jesus says here now is a plural you.

00:14:15.800 --> 00:14:20.639
 Jesus makes a general comment about the people in Galilee.

00:14:22.040 --> 00:14:28.660
 And it's a surprising comment, and it's a bit of an offense to the man and to the people who are listening.

00:14:28.860 --> 00:14:32.320
 Or it's a very, they would probably take it as an offense.

00:14:32.620 --> 00:14:34.040
 It's not meant as a compliment.

00:14:34.379 --> 00:14:37.860
 It's meant as a description of what's going on in their lives, and it isn't good.

00:14:37.860 --> 00:14:40.060
 And he says this,

00:14:40.680 --> 00:14:47.180
 Unless you, or unless all you all, if you're from South Carolina or Georgia,

00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:51.060
 or unless yous, if you're from Northern Ireland,

00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:55.759
 unless yous see signs and wonders,

00:14:56.659 --> 00:14:58.279
 yous will not believe.

00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:00.700
 It's not a good thing.

00:15:00.700 --> 00:15:09.540
 And the official responds to this by saying,

00:15:11.920 --> 00:15:17.440
 Sir, come down before my child dies.

00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:23.879
 Now, first of all, why is it that Jesus says,

00:15:24.520 --> 00:15:27.320
 here is on one level, Jesus is performing miracles,

00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:30.480
 but he says to them,

00:15:31.140 --> 00:15:33.520
 unless you see signs and wonders,

00:15:34.340 --> 00:15:35.920
 you will not believe.

00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:38.780
 Well, first of all, if you think about it,

00:15:38.800 --> 00:15:41.420
 the story that I began with, the fellow who worked in the office,

00:15:41.640 --> 00:15:44.480
 he saw, from my point of view, quite a dramatic miracle,

00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:47.440
 and it appeared to make no difference to him whatsoever.

00:15:48.460 --> 00:15:52.460
 But there's sort of a different heart issue which is going on here,

00:15:52.460 --> 00:15:56.080
 and if you could put up the next slide, Andrew,

00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:57.000
 it would be very helpful.

00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:00.960
 And the deeper issue that's going on,

00:16:01.060 --> 00:16:03.519
 even the issue of seeing signs and wonders,

00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:10.080
 is I think I have the criteria to judge and evaluate God,

00:16:10.800 --> 00:16:14.680
 but God always ignores my criteria.

00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:20.439
 I think I have the criteria to judge and evaluate God,

00:16:21.059 --> 00:16:25.419
 but God always ignores my criteria.

00:16:27.500 --> 00:16:33.120
 So this is a very, very common problem for many people today in our culture.

00:16:33.939 --> 00:16:37.319
 Unless God, like if it really is God,

00:16:37.479 --> 00:16:39.839
 God will bless the gay movement,

00:16:40.099 --> 00:16:43.559
 or he'll bless the transsexual movement,

00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:46.919
 or just in general, he'll bless the sexual revolution.

00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:50.199
 Like the real God wouldn't do something

00:16:50.199 --> 00:16:53.579
 that's going to interfere with how I want to express myself

00:16:53.579 --> 00:16:55.699
 or identify myself sexually.

00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.579
 For many people, if you read academic commentaries,

00:17:00.719 --> 00:17:03.339
 at the heart of academic commentaries is this idea

00:17:03.339 --> 00:17:05.919
 that if it's going to really be God,

00:17:06.159 --> 00:17:08.079
 it's going to have to be some type of event

00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:12.440
 that has multiple sources in non-biblical materials

00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:17.519
 that allow it to be shown to actually have been happening in history,

00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:20.000
 or that if it really is God,

00:17:20.059 --> 00:17:22.160
 it's just going to be something private in my heart.

00:17:23.180 --> 00:17:24.820
 And for many of us,

00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:28.480
 we might have to say that if it's going to be something that's coming from God,

00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:31.820
 it has to have not sort of a certain type of shape of the wisdom of the world,

00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:34.740
 but it has to be some type of overwhelming thing.

00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:36.220
 Like the people who said,

00:17:36.340 --> 00:17:37.880
 if God really wanted me to believe in him,

00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:40.400
 the criteria is that if God really is God,

00:17:40.560 --> 00:17:43.900
 that he has to perform the miracle in front of me.

00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:45.500
 We have some type of criteria

00:17:45.500 --> 00:17:48.400
 by which we think we can judge and evaluate

00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:50.480
 whether God is really God,

00:17:50.560 --> 00:17:53.300
 or whether he is in fact up to our standards.

00:17:54.020 --> 00:17:55.620
 Because that's what's at heart of it,

00:17:55.700 --> 00:17:58.120
 that we have certain standards to keep,

00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:02.359
 and God has to meet them.

00:18:03.699 --> 00:18:06.619
 And one of the things that the Bible reveals about God

00:18:06.619 --> 00:18:09.579
 is that God is completely and utterly untameable.

00:18:10.639 --> 00:18:12.519
 He's good, but he's untameable.

00:18:13.379 --> 00:18:14.479
 And God isn't like,

00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:16.779
 if you come to my house,

00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:20.279
 Louise has trained our German shepherd

00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:21.919
 to close the door

00:18:21.919 --> 00:18:24.819
 when Rocky comes in.

00:18:24.819 --> 00:18:26.200
 She'll say,

00:18:26.539 --> 00:18:28.059
 so Rocky comes in the house,

00:18:28.159 --> 00:18:28.899
 the door is open,

00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:29.379
 and she says,

00:18:29.439 --> 00:18:30.460
 Rocky, close the door.

00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:32.139
 And it's really funny

00:18:32.139 --> 00:18:34.539
 because Rocky has also trained Louise.

00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:38.399
 In the sense that Rocky then goes

00:18:38.399 --> 00:18:39.619
 and sits down

00:18:39.619 --> 00:18:42.639
 and puts his butt against the door.

00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:45.079
 And he never closes the door

00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:46.200
 all the way the first time.

00:18:46.919 --> 00:18:48.139
 He closes it,

00:18:48.399 --> 00:18:49.899
 but there's still about this much.

00:18:50.399 --> 00:18:51.319
 And he looks at Louise,

00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:53.039
 and Louise has to say a second time,

00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:54.399
 Rocky, close the door

00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:55.280
 all the way.

00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:58.280
 And then Rocky closes the door

00:18:58.280 --> 00:18:58.940
 all the way,

00:18:59.060 --> 00:18:59.980
 and then he trots over

00:18:59.980 --> 00:19:00.600
 to where he knows

00:19:00.600 --> 00:19:02.000
 he's going to get a cookie from Louise.

00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:03.640
 As a bit of an aside,

00:19:03.900 --> 00:19:05.640
 sometimes when I'm there on my day off,

00:19:06.040 --> 00:19:07.220
 Rocky keeps wanting to go out,

00:19:07.259 --> 00:19:07.560
 and I say,

00:19:07.740 --> 00:19:08.900
 Louise, he's only going out

00:19:08.900 --> 00:19:09.600
 to get cookies.

00:19:11.500 --> 00:19:12.660
 He keeps wanting to go out

00:19:12.660 --> 00:19:13.780
 because he knows if he comes in,

00:19:13.820 --> 00:19:14.460
 he closes the door,

00:19:14.500 --> 00:19:15.180
 he gets a cookie.

00:19:15.540 --> 00:19:16.900
 And when it's minus 30,

00:19:17.380 --> 00:19:18.180
 and I'm grumpy,

00:19:18.180 --> 00:19:18.860
 and I don't,

00:19:19.360 --> 00:19:20.720
 I have dogs,

00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:21.900
 not because I like dogs,

00:19:21.980 --> 00:19:23.019
 but because I love Louise,

00:19:23.019 --> 00:19:24.920
 and Louise loves dogs,

00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:26.379
 so that's why we have dogs.

00:19:27.940 --> 00:19:29.319
 That's why I have dogs.

00:19:29.379 --> 00:19:30.400
 I'm not a dog person,

00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:31.579
 but I married a dog person,

00:19:31.619 --> 00:19:32.400
 and I love my wife,

00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:33.740
 so I have dogs.

00:19:34.740 --> 00:19:35.099
 Anyway,

00:19:35.500 --> 00:19:36.779
 so I get a bit grumpy about it,

00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:37.879
 but the dog is trained,

00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:38.119
 Louise,

00:19:38.299 --> 00:19:39.619
 but God's not like that.

00:19:41.220 --> 00:19:42.480
 That's why God just ignores

00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:43.259
 our criteria.

00:19:45.180 --> 00:19:45.980
 And in fact,

00:19:45.980 --> 00:19:47.700
 he is not going to allow

00:19:47.700 --> 00:19:48.660
 us to continue

00:19:48.660 --> 00:19:49.720
 to have the attitude

00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:52.299
 that somehow or another

00:19:52.299 --> 00:19:55.120
 we deign,

00:19:56.220 --> 00:19:56.799
 we say,

00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:57.480
 well, God,

00:19:57.559 --> 00:19:58.700
 I guess you're worthy

00:19:58.700 --> 00:20:00.200
 of hanging out with me

00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.120
 because of all the miracles

00:20:03.120 --> 00:20:03.680
 you've done

00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:04.559
 or because you have

00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:05.900
 my views on politics

00:20:05.900 --> 00:20:07.400
 because I can now tell

00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:08.279
 you don't like Trump

00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:09.279
 or you do like Trump

00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:10.380
 or you do miracles

00:20:10.380 --> 00:20:11.640
 or you like the gay movement

00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:12.340
 or you don't like

00:20:12.340 --> 00:20:12.940
 the gay movement

00:20:12.940 --> 00:20:13.740
 or whatever it is.

00:20:14.380 --> 00:20:15.600
 He ignores our criteria.

00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:16.100
 If you could put up

00:20:16.099 --> 00:20:17.199
 the next point, Andrew,

00:20:17.899 --> 00:20:19.480
 I am not God's superior

00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:20.839
 or is equal

00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:22.579
 that I can judge him.

00:20:23.159 --> 00:20:24.359
 I am a creature

00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:25.939
 in need of health

00:20:25.939 --> 00:20:26.579
 and salvation

00:20:26.579 --> 00:20:27.519
 from my creator.

00:20:27.740 --> 00:20:28.579
 That's who I am.

00:20:29.919 --> 00:20:31.639
 I am not God's superior

00:20:31.639 --> 00:20:32.279
 or is equal

00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:33.779
 that I can judge him

00:20:33.779 --> 00:20:34.939
 or evaluate him.

00:20:35.299 --> 00:20:36.480
 I am a creature

00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:38.019
 in need of health

00:20:38.019 --> 00:20:38.599
 and salvation

00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:40.119
 from my creator.

00:20:40.419 --> 00:20:41.319
 And if you could put up

00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:42.179
 the next point, Andrew,

00:20:42.379 --> 00:20:43.419
 saving faith

00:20:43.419 --> 00:20:45.279
 does not set up

00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:46.720
 conditions for God

00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:47.480
 to meet.

00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:51.220
 It responds to God

00:20:51.220 --> 00:20:52.940
 as he chooses

00:20:52.940 --> 00:20:54.319
 to make himself known

00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:57.319
 by word and action.

00:20:57.859 --> 00:20:57.940
 Right?

00:20:58.779 --> 00:20:59.759
 Saving faith

00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:00.759
 does not set up

00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:01.799
 conditions for God

00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:02.259
 to meet.

00:21:02.420 --> 00:21:03.660
 It responds to God

00:21:03.660 --> 00:21:04.359
 as he chooses

00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:05.559
 to make himself known.

00:21:06.299 --> 00:21:06.940
 And by the way,

00:21:07.379 --> 00:21:08.299
 see, God is no different.

00:21:08.339 --> 00:21:09.359
 This is just how it works

00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:10.279
 for us as human beings.

00:21:10.660 --> 00:21:11.819
 I can tell you

00:21:11.819 --> 00:21:13.339
 if I had met Louise

00:21:13.339 --> 00:21:14.220
 the first time

00:21:14.220 --> 00:21:15.720
 and I began the date

00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:16.119
 by saying,

00:21:16.199 --> 00:21:16.559
 well, Louise,

00:21:16.639 --> 00:21:17.740
 I have certain criteria.

00:21:17.740 --> 00:21:18.559
 You have to reach

00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:19.480
 my standards

00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:20.500
 before I'm going to ask you

00:21:20.500 --> 00:21:21.439
 out on a second date.

00:21:22.619 --> 00:21:23.500
 That first date

00:21:23.500 --> 00:21:24.000
 would have ended

00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:24.579
 right then

00:21:24.579 --> 00:21:26.859
 if I communicate to her

00:21:26.859 --> 00:21:27.199
 that, you know,

00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:28.619
 I have these very high standards

00:21:28.619 --> 00:21:29.480
 and I have a checklist

00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:30.179
 to see if you're going

00:21:30.179 --> 00:21:30.759
 to meet them.

00:21:32.299 --> 00:21:33.059
 End of the thing.

00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:34.159
 So why is it

00:21:34.159 --> 00:21:35.859
 that we can't do that

00:21:35.859 --> 00:21:36.539
 with human beings

00:21:36.539 --> 00:21:37.019
 on a date

00:21:37.019 --> 00:21:37.839
 but we somehow

00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:39.099
 unconsciously think

00:21:39.099 --> 00:21:39.639
 we can do it

00:21:39.639 --> 00:21:40.179
 with God?

00:21:40.180 --> 00:21:42.140
 Even if the criteria

00:21:42.140 --> 00:21:43.160
 are very noble

00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:44.539
 or spiritual criteria

00:21:44.539 --> 00:21:45.299
 like the ability

00:21:45.299 --> 00:21:46.360
 of him to perform

00:21:46.360 --> 00:21:47.799
 signs and wonders.

00:21:48.560 --> 00:21:49.600
 It doesn't work

00:21:49.600 --> 00:21:50.180
 with Louise.

00:21:50.740 --> 00:21:51.380
 It definitely

00:21:51.380 --> 00:21:51.960
 doesn't work

00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:52.500
 with God.

00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:54.160
 He says,

00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:55.299
 I ignore your criteria.

00:21:56.539 --> 00:21:57.519
 So what's happening

00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:58.400
 in this story

00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:00.019
 is that Jesus

00:22:00.019 --> 00:22:01.680
 makes this general comment

00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:05.000
 and that people

00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:06.180
 only seem to want

00:22:06.180 --> 00:22:06.980
 to see him

00:22:06.980 --> 00:22:07.820
 perform signs

00:22:07.820 --> 00:22:08.340
 and wonders.

00:22:08.339 --> 00:22:09.419
 They only welcome him

00:22:09.419 --> 00:22:10.500
 so that they

00:22:10.500 --> 00:22:12.059
 can see signs

00:22:12.059 --> 00:22:12.619
 and wonders.

00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:14.720
 And so the Roman official

00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:15.500
 who's come to have

00:22:15.500 --> 00:22:16.279
 his son healed

00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:17.539
 and really at this point

00:22:17.539 --> 00:22:18.059
 in time

00:22:18.059 --> 00:22:20.639
 the man doesn't

00:22:20.639 --> 00:22:21.379
 have any faith.

00:22:23.259 --> 00:22:24.379
 I had an uncle.

00:22:24.919 --> 00:22:26.139
 His name is Uncle Joe.

00:22:26.419 --> 00:22:27.359
 My favorite uncle.

00:22:27.619 --> 00:22:28.419
 He died of cancer

00:22:28.419 --> 00:22:29.579
 about 20 years ago.

00:22:30.139 --> 00:22:31.119
 My Uncle Joe

00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:32.599
 was a meat

00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:33.319
 and potatoes

00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:34.319
 type of guy.

00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:36.899
 And it was meat

00:22:36.899 --> 00:22:37.919
 and potatoes.

00:22:38.339 --> 00:22:40.299
 type of guy.

00:22:40.619 --> 00:22:41.399
 And preferably

00:22:41.399 --> 00:22:42.299
 with gravy

00:22:42.299 --> 00:22:43.599
 and all sorts

00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:44.220
 of butter

00:22:44.220 --> 00:22:45.039
 or something

00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:46.079
 on the vegetables

00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:46.939
 and gravy.

00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:47.500
 He was a meat

00:22:47.500 --> 00:22:47.939
 and potatoes guy.

00:22:48.139 --> 00:22:49.279
 But when he got cancer

00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:50.819
 and it was some

00:22:50.819 --> 00:22:52.099
 very bad prognosis,

00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:53.519
 he and his,

00:22:53.859 --> 00:22:54.379
 he and my

00:22:54.379 --> 00:22:55.500
 Aunt Lillian,

00:22:55.639 --> 00:22:56.439
 they scoured

00:22:56.439 --> 00:22:56.959
 the internet

00:22:56.959 --> 00:22:57.779
 and stuff like that

00:22:57.779 --> 00:22:58.839
 and for a brief while

00:22:58.839 --> 00:22:59.720
 he was on all sorts

00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:00.799
 of very kooky

00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:01.980
 and extreme diets.

00:23:02.379 --> 00:23:03.119
 Anything to try

00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:03.740
 to make himself

00:23:03.740 --> 00:23:04.079
 better.

00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:08.059
 But they didn't work

00:23:08.059 --> 00:23:10.319
 and now he's in glory.

00:23:10.419 --> 00:23:11.039
 He's a very devout

00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:11.439
 Christian.

00:23:11.639 --> 00:23:12.740
 He's now with Jesus.

00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:14.460
 But what this man is,

00:23:14.500 --> 00:23:15.079
 he's not really

00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:15.899
 seeking signs

00:23:15.899 --> 00:23:16.419
 and wonders.

00:23:17.919 --> 00:23:18.720
 He's just doing

00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:19.439
 what any of us

00:23:19.439 --> 00:23:19.779
 would do

00:23:19.779 --> 00:23:20.579
 if we had something

00:23:20.579 --> 00:23:21.740
 like an operable cancer

00:23:21.740 --> 00:23:22.500
 or a kid had

00:23:22.500 --> 00:23:23.359
 an operable cancer

00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:23.939
 and if we heard

00:23:23.939 --> 00:23:24.339
 that there was

00:23:24.339 --> 00:23:25.500
 a treatment in Mexico

00:23:25.500 --> 00:23:26.839
 or there was

00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:28.159
 a treatment in California

00:23:28.159 --> 00:23:28.839
 or there was

00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:29.720
 a special diet

00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:30.099
 that worked.

00:23:30.099 --> 00:23:32.039
 We just want our kid

00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:32.539
 to live

00:23:32.539 --> 00:23:33.799
 and we're willing

00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:34.559
 to try it.

00:23:35.740 --> 00:23:36.480
 And Jesus makes

00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:37.199
 this other comment

00:23:37.199 --> 00:23:38.419
 and the man responds

00:23:38.419 --> 00:23:40.139
 in verse 46.

00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:41.359
 We'll read it again.

00:23:41.740 --> 00:23:42.419
 The official said

00:23:42.419 --> 00:23:42.759
 to him,

00:23:42.899 --> 00:23:43.240
 Sir,

00:23:44.179 --> 00:23:44.740
 come down

00:23:44.740 --> 00:23:46.079
 before my child dies.

00:23:46.939 --> 00:23:47.740
 In verse 50,

00:23:47.859 --> 00:23:48.980
 Jesus says to him,

00:23:50.459 --> 00:23:50.779
 Go,

00:23:51.679 --> 00:23:52.939
 your son will live.

00:23:53.779 --> 00:23:54.179
 Go,

00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:56.259
 your son will live.

00:23:57.859 --> 00:23:58.919
 And in other words,

00:23:58.919 --> 00:23:59.679
 it's a command.

00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:00.700
 The implication

00:24:00.700 --> 00:24:01.759
 is not to go away

00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:03.039
 but to go home.

00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:04.440
 That's sort of implied.

00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:05.140
 Go,

00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:06.259
 your son will live.

00:24:07.320 --> 00:24:07.980
 And the man

00:24:07.980 --> 00:24:10.140
 believed the word

00:24:10.140 --> 00:24:12.259
 that Jesus spoke to him

00:24:12.259 --> 00:24:12.920
 and went on his way.

00:24:12.980 --> 00:24:13.440
 We'll just sort of

00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:14.060
 pause here.

00:24:15.340 --> 00:24:16.080
 One of the interesting

00:24:16.080 --> 00:24:16.920
 things about the Bible

00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:17.860
 is it doesn't describe

00:24:17.860 --> 00:24:18.440
 what goes on

00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:20.380
 in the man's heart.

00:24:20.840 --> 00:24:21.680
 And I don't know

00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:22.519
 if he just sort of

00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:23.380
 stands there

00:24:23.380 --> 00:24:26.580
 and looks at Jesus

00:24:26.580 --> 00:24:27.779
 for quite a while

00:24:27.779 --> 00:24:29.460
 or if he just

00:24:29.460 --> 00:24:30.399
 immediately goes.

00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:31.619
 But Jesus says

00:24:31.619 --> 00:24:32.779
 this surprising thing

00:24:32.779 --> 00:24:33.200
 to him.

00:24:34.139 --> 00:24:34.440
 Go,

00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:36.259
 your son will live.

00:24:37.940 --> 00:24:39.059
 And then the man

00:24:39.059 --> 00:24:40.799
 believes what Jesus

00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:41.379
 says.

00:24:41.700 --> 00:24:42.420
 I don't know if he just

00:24:42.420 --> 00:24:43.200
 somehow senses

00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:43.879
 that there's some

00:24:43.879 --> 00:24:45.039
 power or authority

00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:45.379
 there.

00:24:46.500 --> 00:24:47.500
 He himself has never

00:24:47.500 --> 00:24:48.240
 seen Jesus

00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:49.180
 perform a miracle.

00:24:49.180 --> 00:24:51.840
 But there's something

00:24:51.840 --> 00:24:53.220
 in Jesus' speech

00:24:53.220 --> 00:24:54.299
 and we don't know

00:24:54.299 --> 00:24:54.920
 if he immediately

00:24:54.920 --> 00:24:55.640
 goes or spends

00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:56.060
 some time

00:24:56.060 --> 00:24:56.920
 but he does it.

00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:57.900
 He begins the

00:24:57.900 --> 00:24:59.700
 35 kilometer trek

00:24:59.700 --> 00:25:00.700
 downhill

00:25:00.700 --> 00:25:02.259
 to go back

00:25:02.259 --> 00:25:03.320
 to where his son is.

00:25:05.779 --> 00:25:07.299
 And verse 51,

00:25:08.019 --> 00:25:09.360
 as he was going down

00:25:09.360 --> 00:25:10.240
 his servants

00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:11.039
 met him

00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:12.360
 and told him

00:25:12.360 --> 00:25:13.279
 that his son

00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:13.980
 was recovering.

00:25:15.259 --> 00:25:16.120
 So the man

00:25:16.120 --> 00:25:17.420
 asked them the hour

00:25:17.420 --> 00:25:18.620
 when he began

00:25:18.620 --> 00:25:19.259
 to get better.

00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:21.360
 So the man

00:25:21.360 --> 00:25:21.940
 hasn't kissed

00:25:21.940 --> 00:25:22.900
 his brains goodbye.

00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:25.759
 He's really curious.

00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:27.240
 So he said,

00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:27.360
 well,

00:25:27.380 --> 00:25:28.120
 when did this happen?

00:25:30.120 --> 00:25:31.500
 And they said

00:25:31.500 --> 00:25:31.900
 to him,

00:25:32.220 --> 00:25:32.740
 yesterday,

00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:34.519
 so he would have

00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:35.400
 had to sort of

00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:36.700
 probably slept

00:25:36.700 --> 00:25:37.640
 over somewhere,

00:25:37.860 --> 00:25:38.420
 begun the journey,

00:25:38.539 --> 00:25:39.440
 slept over somewhere,

00:25:39.580 --> 00:25:40.960
 continued on the next day.

00:25:41.539 --> 00:25:42.039
 They say,

00:25:42.100 --> 00:25:42.860
 yesterday at the

00:25:42.860 --> 00:25:43.700
 seventh hour,

00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:44.500
 one o'clock

00:25:44.500 --> 00:25:45.259
 in the afternoon,

00:25:45.820 --> 00:25:46.720
 the fever left him.

00:25:47.420 --> 00:25:49.180
 The father knew

00:25:49.180 --> 00:25:51.980
 that was the hour

00:25:51.980 --> 00:25:53.480
 when Jesus had said

00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:53.840
 to him,

00:25:54.080 --> 00:25:55.140
 your son will live.

00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:57.340
 And he himself

00:25:57.340 --> 00:25:58.120
 believed

00:25:58.120 --> 00:26:00.080
 in all his household.

00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:01.220
 This was now

00:26:01.220 --> 00:26:02.259
 the second sign

00:26:02.259 --> 00:26:03.220
 that Jesus did

00:26:03.220 --> 00:26:04.180
 when he had come

00:26:04.180 --> 00:26:04.920
 from Judea

00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:06.019
 to Galilee.

00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:07.700
 And the implication

00:26:07.700 --> 00:26:08.680
 of the text here

00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:10.480
 is that what this man

00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:11.259
 does is he now

00:26:11.259 --> 00:26:12.580
 has saving faith.

00:26:14.140 --> 00:26:14.340
 Now,

00:26:14.420 --> 00:26:14.740
 by the way,

00:26:14.800 --> 00:26:15.539
 this is a very,

00:26:15.539 --> 00:26:16.819
 very encouraging thing

00:26:16.819 --> 00:26:17.759
 for each one of us.

00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:19.799
 This man does not

00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:21.339
 know very much theology.

00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:23.720
 And Jesus hasn't

00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:24.500
 died on the cross

00:26:24.500 --> 00:26:25.059
 for him yet.

00:26:26.299 --> 00:26:27.920
 And he has no idea

00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:28.599
 about theories

00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:29.579
 of propitiation.

00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:30.639
 He has no ideas

00:26:30.639 --> 00:26:31.319
 about theories

00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:32.099
 of atonement.

00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:33.680
 He just,

00:26:33.819 --> 00:26:34.420
 he doesn't know

00:26:34.420 --> 00:26:35.579
 all of these things.

00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:36.960
 But what he's,

00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:38.319
 what he's done

00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:41.240
 is he's honored,

00:26:41.539 --> 00:26:41.980
 trusted,

00:26:42.159 --> 00:26:43.259
 and obeyed Jesus

00:26:43.259 --> 00:26:44.879
 for who he is

00:26:44.879 --> 00:26:46.039
 to the extent

00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:47.159
 that he understands

00:26:47.159 --> 00:26:48.519
 him at that time.

00:26:52.019 --> 00:26:52.579
 He,

00:26:52.740 --> 00:26:56.480
 he has this basic sense

00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:57.200
 that Jesus

00:26:57.200 --> 00:26:58.500
 has the authority

00:26:58.500 --> 00:27:00.679
 and the ability

00:27:00.679 --> 00:27:02.299
 that he is,

00:27:02.819 --> 00:27:04.159
 he's not just ordinary,

00:27:04.159 --> 00:27:05.059
 he believes

00:27:05.059 --> 00:27:06.059
 in a saving way.

00:27:06.059 --> 00:27:06.799
 In fact,

00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:07.240
 see,

00:27:07.299 --> 00:27:07.659
 one of the things

00:27:07.659 --> 00:27:08.419
 which is remarkable

00:27:08.419 --> 00:27:09.079
 about this,

00:27:09.539 --> 00:27:10.599
 so I'll tell you

00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:11.819
 my most dramatic

00:27:11.819 --> 00:27:12.819
 miracle story.

00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:13.740
 Not that,

00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:15.480
 and my faith

00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:16.359
 isn't based on it.

00:27:16.779 --> 00:27:18.419
 I was in my country parish

00:27:18.419 --> 00:27:19.899
 and I was in a,

00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:20.779
 Eganville,

00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:21.980
 and I was on call

00:27:21.980 --> 00:27:22.639
 for the minister

00:27:22.639 --> 00:27:23.299
 in Renfrew.

00:27:24.159 --> 00:27:24.940
 And Renfrew

00:27:24.940 --> 00:27:26.019
 was a half hour drive.

00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:26.480
 The hospital

00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:27.500
 was a half hour drive.

00:27:27.859 --> 00:27:29.019
 And I got a call

00:27:29.019 --> 00:27:30.399
 at about 7.30

00:27:30.399 --> 00:27:31.480
 in the morning

00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:33.019
 on a Sunday

00:27:33.019 --> 00:27:34.079
 because I was on call

00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:34.579
 for the minister

00:27:34.579 --> 00:27:35.139
 on holidays

00:27:35.140 --> 00:27:35.880
 and they said,

00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:36.600
 there's a man,

00:27:36.940 --> 00:27:37.920
 he's going to die.

00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:39.540
 We almost didn't even

00:27:39.540 --> 00:27:40.160
 call you

00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:41.480
 because he's about

00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:42.060
 to die,

00:27:42.580 --> 00:27:43.300
 but the family

00:27:43.300 --> 00:27:43.740
 have asked

00:27:43.740 --> 00:27:45.500
 that I call you

00:27:45.500 --> 00:27:46.200
 and that you could

00:27:46.200 --> 00:27:46.759
 come down

00:27:46.759 --> 00:27:47.400
 and give him

00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:48.300
 the last rites.

00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:49.360
 And I said,

00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:49.960
 I'm really sorry,

00:27:50.020 --> 00:27:50.780
 I have a service

00:27:50.780 --> 00:27:52.100
 in 15 minutes

00:27:52.100 --> 00:27:53.540
 and after that

00:27:53.540 --> 00:27:54.540
 I have another service

00:27:54.540 --> 00:27:54.980
 at 9,

00:27:55.060 --> 00:27:55.759
 another service

00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:56.220
 at 11.

00:27:56.300 --> 00:27:56.880
 The earliest

00:27:56.880 --> 00:27:57.840
 I can possibly

00:27:57.840 --> 00:27:58.380
 come down

00:27:58.380 --> 00:27:59.440
 is about 1 or 1.30

00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:00.100
 this afternoon.

00:28:00.860 --> 00:28:01.580
 And they said to me,

00:28:01.660 --> 00:28:01.780
 well,

00:28:01.820 --> 00:28:02.820
 we really insist,

00:28:03.620 --> 00:28:04.880
 the family really wants you.

00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:05.120
 And I said,

00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:05.420
 I'm really,

00:28:05.560 --> 00:28:05.920
 really sorry,

00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:06.700
 I can't leave

00:28:06.700 --> 00:28:07.580
 all of my services

00:28:07.580 --> 00:28:08.320
 to go down.

00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:09.920
 I'll say a prayer

00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:10.440
 for him

00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:12.500
 and I'll call you

00:28:12.500 --> 00:28:14.220
 after my last service

00:28:14.220 --> 00:28:15.000
 and if he's still

00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:15.500
 hanging on

00:28:15.500 --> 00:28:16.460
 I'll come right down

00:28:16.460 --> 00:28:17.380
 to be with him.

00:28:18.460 --> 00:28:19.780
 And so I prayed

00:28:19.780 --> 00:28:20.380
 for the man

00:28:20.380 --> 00:28:21.700
 and then I did

00:28:21.700 --> 00:28:22.440
 my services

00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:23.780
 and we mentioned him

00:28:23.780 --> 00:28:24.660
 in all of the prayers.

00:28:25.360 --> 00:28:26.740
 12.30 or whatever it was

00:28:26.740 --> 00:28:27.560
 when my 11 o'clock

00:28:27.560 --> 00:28:28.640
 service was finished

00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:29.560
 I called him up

00:28:29.560 --> 00:28:30.060
 and he said,

00:28:30.140 --> 00:28:31.160
 he's still hanging on,

00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:31.880
 we can't believe

00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:32.940
 that he's still hanging on,

00:28:33.620 --> 00:28:34.840
 the family's exhausted,

00:28:35.600 --> 00:28:36.620
 could you still come down?

00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:36.900
 I said,

00:28:36.940 --> 00:28:37.059
 sure,

00:28:37.080 --> 00:28:37.660
 I'll come down.

00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:38.220
 They said,

00:28:38.259 --> 00:28:38.880
 he might be dead

00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:39.140
 by the,

00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:40.860
 we don't even like calling now,

00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:42.340
 we're amazed he's still alive,

00:28:43.080 --> 00:28:43.880
 you might very well

00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:44.559
 come down for nothing.

00:28:44.660 --> 00:28:44.779
 They said,

00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:45.360
 I'll come down.

00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:46.640
 I come down,

00:28:46.860 --> 00:28:47.960
 the family's still there,

00:28:48.600 --> 00:28:49.900
 I say a few words to them

00:28:49.900 --> 00:28:50.740
 and I always pray

00:28:50.740 --> 00:28:51.539
 what I always pray,

00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:52.900
 I pray over the man,

00:28:52.980 --> 00:28:53.299
 I said,

00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:53.740
 Father,

00:28:54.420 --> 00:28:56.420
 this man is close to death

00:28:56.420 --> 00:28:57.519
 but I ask that

00:28:57.519 --> 00:28:59.320
 if it still is your will

00:28:59.320 --> 00:29:00.519
 that you would bring him healing

00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:03.360
 and if you don't bring him healing

00:29:03.360 --> 00:29:03.980
 of his body,

00:29:04.140 --> 00:29:04.300
 Father,

00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:05.500
 he's unconscious,

00:29:05.720 --> 00:29:06.519
 he can't hear me

00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:08.259
 but I know that Jesus can be

00:29:08.259 --> 00:29:11.000
 underneath this coma

00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:12.900
 and Jesus can meet him

00:29:12.900 --> 00:29:13.539
 in his coma

00:29:13.539 --> 00:29:14.200
 so Father,

00:29:14.380 --> 00:29:16.240
 even if you do not heal his body,

00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:17.759
 may your son Jesus

00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:19.060
 be present with him

00:29:19.060 --> 00:29:20.080
 where he is,

00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:21.180
 where we can't reach him

00:29:21.180 --> 00:29:22.240
 and may Jesus,

00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:23.080
 may you bring,

00:29:23.580 --> 00:29:24.539
 may you minister to him

00:29:24.539 --> 00:29:25.039
 at this time,

00:29:25.159 --> 00:29:26.799
 may he be prepared

00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:28.119
 to see you face to face

00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:28.940
 but if it is your will

00:29:28.940 --> 00:29:29.599
 may you heal him

00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:30.920
 and I say amen

00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:32.200
 and the man said,

00:29:32.339 --> 00:29:33.420
 thank you very much

00:29:33.420 --> 00:29:40.379
 and his wife and daughter

00:29:40.379 --> 00:29:41.359
 started crying

00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:45.399
 and I can tell you right then

00:29:45.399 --> 00:29:46.139
 they weren't interested

00:29:46.139 --> 00:29:46.879
 in me anymore

00:29:46.879 --> 00:29:48.700
 because they hugged

00:29:48.700 --> 00:29:50.639
 their husband and their dad

00:29:50.639 --> 00:29:51.759
 and they hugged their husband

00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:52.599
 and their dad

00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:54.519
 and he lived another three years

00:29:54.519 --> 00:30:00.359
 so that's my miracle story

00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:03.039
 but here's the thing

00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:06.099
 I pray to God

00:30:06.099 --> 00:30:07.440
 to heal the man

00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:09.000
 I acknowledge

00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:11.160
 that only God can heal

00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:12.940
 and I acknowledge

00:30:12.940 --> 00:30:14.220
 that only Jesus can be

00:30:14.220 --> 00:30:15.559
 with this guy where he is

00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:16.940
 I'm nothing

00:30:16.940 --> 00:30:18.799
 I have no power

00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:21.099
 all I can do

00:30:21.099 --> 00:30:22.299
 is call out

00:30:22.299 --> 00:30:23.460
 to my heavenly father

00:30:23.460 --> 00:30:25.500
 this story

00:30:25.500 --> 00:30:28.100
 Jesus just wills

00:30:28.100 --> 00:30:28.819
 the healing

00:30:28.819 --> 00:30:30.400
 of the nobleman's son

00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:32.259
 35 kilometers away

00:30:32.259 --> 00:30:34.120
 and he's healed

00:30:34.120 --> 00:30:36.980
 only God can do that

00:30:36.980 --> 00:30:41.539
 Jesus doesn't pray

00:30:41.539 --> 00:30:45.519
 he just wills it

00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:48.759
 and I'm guessing

00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:49.660
 that's partially

00:30:49.660 --> 00:30:50.900
 what struck this man

00:30:50.900 --> 00:30:51.299
 why

00:30:51.299 --> 00:30:52.680
 maybe in heaven

00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:53.200
 we'll find

00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:54.440
 we'll get to meet this guy

00:30:54.440 --> 00:30:55.059
 and we'll ask him

00:30:55.059 --> 00:30:56.460
 what went on in his mind

00:30:56.460 --> 00:30:59.119
 the story doesn't tell us

00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:01.000
 but there's just something

00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:02.119
 about the word of command

00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:02.980
 and the promise

00:31:02.980 --> 00:31:04.180
 that Jesus makes

00:31:04.180 --> 00:31:06.319
 and the man responds

00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:07.119
 with obedience

00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:07.379
 obedience

00:31:07.379 --> 00:31:09.039
 and trust

00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:11.119
 and goes

00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:13.959
 and when he goes

00:31:13.959 --> 00:31:15.019
 he finds out

00:31:15.019 --> 00:31:15.599
 that Jesus

00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:16.779
 has healed the guy

00:31:16.779 --> 00:31:20.039
 and now he has

00:31:20.039 --> 00:31:21.419
 a saving belief

00:31:21.419 --> 00:31:22.059
 in the man

00:31:22.059 --> 00:31:24.479
 see here's one of the things

00:31:24.479 --> 00:31:25.679
 about signs and wonders

00:31:25.679 --> 00:31:27.879
 you can't obey a miracle

00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:33.900
 you can't obey a miracle

00:31:33.900 --> 00:31:36.360
 but you can obey Jesus

00:31:36.360 --> 00:31:37.000
 when he says

00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:37.420
 go

00:31:37.420 --> 00:31:39.200
 your son will live

00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:42.600
 if Jesus

00:31:42.600 --> 00:31:44.500
 only died on the cross

00:31:44.500 --> 00:31:46.480
 and rose from the dead

00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:49.160
 and there was no message

00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:49.600
 about it

00:31:49.600 --> 00:31:50.640
 you know all we could say

00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:51.100
 in the room

00:31:51.100 --> 00:31:53.740
 that's the darndest thing

00:31:53.740 --> 00:31:57.280
 that's the darndest thing

00:31:57.279 --> 00:31:58.720
 Louise

00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:00.480
 there's a guy who died

00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:01.379
 and three days later

00:32:01.379 --> 00:32:02.500
 he came back to life

00:32:02.500 --> 00:32:04.000
 that's the darndest thing

00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:08.799
 but what Jesus does

00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:12.480
 and John's gospel

00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:14.639
 is it's Jesus's

00:32:14.639 --> 00:32:15.799
 it's John's writing

00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:16.899
 an intimate biography

00:32:16.899 --> 00:32:17.480
 of Jesus

00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:20.220
 and John has chosen

00:32:20.220 --> 00:32:21.619
 certain key miracles

00:32:21.619 --> 00:32:22.180
 of Jesus

00:32:22.180 --> 00:32:23.220
 he understands

00:32:23.220 --> 00:32:24.379
 that Jesus has come

00:32:24.379 --> 00:32:25.759
 to introduce God

00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:27.319
 to make God

00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:28.140
 truly known

00:32:28.140 --> 00:32:29.859
 and his first miracle

00:32:29.859 --> 00:32:30.980
 shows that God

00:32:30.980 --> 00:32:32.339
 is not like religion

00:32:32.339 --> 00:32:33.019
 expects

00:32:33.019 --> 00:32:33.859
 that God is going

00:32:33.859 --> 00:32:34.480
 to be a God

00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:35.720
 where we have to be ascetic

00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:37.519
 and we have to purify

00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:38.420
 our lives

00:32:38.420 --> 00:32:39.839
 and we have to sort of

00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:40.700
 take all of the joy

00:32:40.700 --> 00:32:41.359
 and happiness

00:32:41.359 --> 00:32:42.140
 out of our life

00:32:42.140 --> 00:32:42.720
 and if we've really

00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:43.900
 purified ourselves

00:32:43.900 --> 00:32:46.119
 and really denied ourselves

00:32:46.119 --> 00:32:47.160
 then maybe God

00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:47.779
 will know us

00:32:47.779 --> 00:32:48.559
 and maybe he will

00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:49.420
 make himself known

00:32:49.420 --> 00:32:51.359
 and Jesus introduces God

00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:51.920
 as the God

00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:52.879
 who makes wine

00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:53.960
 for a wedding party

00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:56.620
 and unlike all

00:32:56.620 --> 00:32:57.860
 of the other gospels

00:32:57.860 --> 00:32:59.180
 almost immediately

00:32:59.180 --> 00:32:59.920
 after the very

00:32:59.920 --> 00:33:01.020
 John chapter 2

00:33:01.020 --> 00:33:01.880
 for the first time

00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:02.780
 Jesus says

00:33:02.780 --> 00:33:04.320
 if you kill me

00:33:04.320 --> 00:33:05.800
 I will rise

00:33:05.800 --> 00:33:07.040
 and he doesn't just say

00:33:07.040 --> 00:33:07.920
 that I will rise

00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:08.900
 he describes himself

00:33:08.900 --> 00:33:09.860
 as the temple

00:33:09.860 --> 00:33:10.940
 as the place

00:33:10.940 --> 00:33:11.940
 that people go

00:33:11.940 --> 00:33:12.900
 to meet God

00:33:12.900 --> 00:33:14.200
 and he said

00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:15.220
 if you kill me

00:33:15.220 --> 00:33:16.220
 on three days

00:33:16.220 --> 00:33:17.280
 the place

00:33:17.280 --> 00:33:17.960
 where people

00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:18.660
 will go

00:33:18.660 --> 00:33:19.780
 to meet God

00:33:19.780 --> 00:33:20.840
 will rise

00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:22.279
 in three days

00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:23.220
 and then the very

00:33:23.220 --> 00:33:24.059
 next miracle

00:33:24.059 --> 00:33:24.500
 that he does

00:33:24.500 --> 00:33:25.679
 the next conversation

00:33:25.679 --> 00:33:26.319
 is he says

00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:27.819
 to Nicodemus

00:33:27.819 --> 00:33:29.139
 he says to Nicodemus

00:33:29.139 --> 00:33:30.839
 you have to be born

00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:31.819
 in a way

00:33:31.819 --> 00:33:32.819
 that only God

00:33:32.819 --> 00:33:33.899
 can give you life

00:33:33.899 --> 00:33:35.399
 human beings

00:33:35.399 --> 00:33:36.139
 can only produce

00:33:36.139 --> 00:33:36.859
 what human beings

00:33:36.859 --> 00:33:37.500
 can produce

00:33:37.500 --> 00:33:38.859
 but God

00:33:38.859 --> 00:33:40.259
 can give a life

00:33:40.259 --> 00:33:41.480
 that human beings

00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:42.899
 cannot have

00:33:42.899 --> 00:33:44.559
 and then in John

00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:45.399
 chapter 4

00:33:45.399 --> 00:33:46.799
 the very very next thing

00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:47.599
 what is it

00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:48.480
 he describes

00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:49.000
 to the woman

00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:49.839
 he says to the woman

00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:50.439
 at the well

00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:51.519
 he says to the woman

00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:52.340
 well if you knew

00:33:52.340 --> 00:33:53.140
 who was asking you

00:33:53.140 --> 00:33:53.660
 for water

00:33:53.660 --> 00:33:54.380
 you would ask him

00:33:54.380 --> 00:33:55.740
 and he would give you

00:33:55.740 --> 00:33:58.360
 a stream

00:33:58.360 --> 00:33:59.660
 of eternal life

00:33:59.660 --> 00:34:00.539
 living waters

00:34:00.539 --> 00:34:01.519
 like a stream

00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:02.440
 of waters

00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:04.160
 that will flow

00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:04.980
 in you

00:34:04.980 --> 00:34:06.320
 into eternity

00:34:06.320 --> 00:34:08.980
 and now

00:34:08.980 --> 00:34:10.179
 we see that God

00:34:10.179 --> 00:34:11.119
 it's a continuing

00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:11.780
 this message

00:34:11.780 --> 00:34:12.440
 that God

00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:13.579
 is pro-life

00:34:13.579 --> 00:34:14.720
 that God

00:34:14.720 --> 00:34:15.900
 is the source

00:34:15.900 --> 00:34:16.860
 of health

00:34:16.860 --> 00:34:17.679
 and life

00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:19.659
 other gospels

00:34:19.659 --> 00:34:20.659
 talk about Jesus

00:34:20.659 --> 00:34:21.159
 and they use

00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:21.699
 other images

00:34:21.699 --> 00:34:22.480
 of salvation

00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:23.259
 they use images

00:34:23.259 --> 00:34:24.559
 of being redeemed

00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:26.319
 freed from slavery

00:34:26.319 --> 00:34:27.539
 they use images

00:34:27.539 --> 00:34:28.480
 of being taken

00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:29.519
 our debts away

00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:30.619
 they use images

00:34:30.619 --> 00:34:32.059
 from the courts

00:34:32.059 --> 00:34:34.059
 they use military images

00:34:34.059 --> 00:34:34.919
 of victory

00:34:34.919 --> 00:34:36.319
 and in John's

00:34:36.319 --> 00:34:37.759
 fundamental image

00:34:37.759 --> 00:34:38.859
 is that apart

00:34:38.859 --> 00:34:39.639
 from God

00:34:39.639 --> 00:34:40.980
 we are dying

00:34:40.980 --> 00:34:43.619
 and death

00:34:43.619 --> 00:34:44.740
 is our doom

00:34:44.740 --> 00:34:45.860
 and apart

00:34:45.860 --> 00:34:46.420
 from God

00:34:46.420 --> 00:34:46.980
 not only

00:34:46.980 --> 00:34:47.480
 is death

00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:48.099
 our doom

00:34:48.099 --> 00:34:48.539
 but that

00:34:48.539 --> 00:34:49.240
 which causes

00:34:49.240 --> 00:34:49.639
 death

00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:50.159
 which is our

00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:50.780
 separation

00:34:50.780 --> 00:34:51.940
 and alienation

00:34:51.940 --> 00:34:52.679
 from God

00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:53.559
 there is no

00:34:53.559 --> 00:34:54.760
 fixing of that

00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:56.179
 and in John's

00:34:56.179 --> 00:34:56.579
 gospel

00:34:56.579 --> 00:34:57.260
 the image

00:34:57.260 --> 00:34:58.639
 of being sick

00:34:58.639 --> 00:34:59.619
 and being healed

00:34:59.619 --> 00:35:01.099
 is the image

00:35:01.099 --> 00:35:02.019
 of what the gospel

00:35:02.019 --> 00:35:03.159
 will do for us

00:35:03.159 --> 00:35:07.199
 if you could put up

00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:08.819
 the next slide

00:35:08.819 --> 00:35:10.699
 oh sorry

00:35:10.699 --> 00:35:11.500
 I got something out of it

00:35:11.500 --> 00:35:12.119
 here's the thing

00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:12.539
 about this

00:35:12.539 --> 00:35:13.799
 I can have obedience

00:35:13.799 --> 00:35:15.379
 without intimacy

00:35:15.379 --> 00:35:16.500
 or trust

00:35:16.500 --> 00:35:18.259
 in fact

00:35:18.259 --> 00:35:19.480
 that's what

00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:20.579
 Islam is

00:35:20.579 --> 00:35:24.399
 Islam is the first

00:35:24.399 --> 00:35:25.519
 half of that statement

00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:27.339
 no intimacy

00:35:27.339 --> 00:35:28.099
 with God

00:35:28.099 --> 00:35:29.500
 and not even

00:35:29.500 --> 00:35:30.460
 trusting God

00:35:30.460 --> 00:35:31.619
 inshallah

00:35:31.619 --> 00:35:32.960
 inshallah

00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:34.179
 maybe I'm going to

00:35:34.179 --> 00:35:35.099
 die a gruesome death

00:35:35.099 --> 00:35:35.699
 inshallah

00:35:35.699 --> 00:35:36.920
 maybe I'm going to hell

00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:37.699
 inshallah

00:35:37.699 --> 00:35:40.900
 it's obedience

00:35:40.900 --> 00:35:42.639
 but no intimacy

00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:43.400
 and trust

00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:45.199
 but I cannot

00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:46.179
 have intimacy

00:35:46.179 --> 00:35:47.019
 without trust

00:35:47.019 --> 00:35:47.539
 and obedience

00:35:47.539 --> 00:35:49.139
 and God

00:35:49.139 --> 00:35:49.720
 is not only

00:35:49.720 --> 00:35:50.240
 calling us

00:35:50.240 --> 00:35:50.740
 to life

00:35:50.740 --> 00:35:51.500
 but to intimacy

00:35:51.500 --> 00:35:52.079
 with him

00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:53.440
 which is why

00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:54.240
 mere signs

00:35:54.240 --> 00:35:54.940
 and wonders

00:35:54.940 --> 00:35:57.199
 isn't enough

00:35:57.199 --> 00:35:59.300
 you see

00:35:59.300 --> 00:36:01.119
 if I

00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:02.079
 am to have

00:36:02.079 --> 00:36:02.539
 intimacy

00:36:02.539 --> 00:36:03.259
 with Louise

00:36:03.259 --> 00:36:04.039
 and I never

00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:04.920
 trust her

00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:07.880
 she's going to

00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:08.400
 draw back

00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:08.880
 there's not going

00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:09.179
 to be any

00:36:09.179 --> 00:36:09.639
 intimacy

00:36:09.639 --> 00:36:11.239
 and if I want

00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:11.880
 to have intimacy

00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:12.739
 with Louise

00:36:12.739 --> 00:36:14.279
 and I never

00:36:14.279 --> 00:36:14.840
 trust her

00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:15.259
 and she never

00:36:15.259 --> 00:36:15.920
 asks me

00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:16.779
 and every time

00:36:16.779 --> 00:36:17.360
 she asks me

00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:18.000
 to do something

00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:19.079
 I don't do it

00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:21.380
 she's going to

00:36:21.380 --> 00:36:21.759
 draw back

00:36:21.759 --> 00:36:22.239
 there'll be no

00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:22.719
 intimacy

00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:24.219
 and God

00:36:24.219 --> 00:36:24.639
 wants us

00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:25.259
 to be intimate

00:36:25.259 --> 00:36:25.719
 with him

00:36:25.719 --> 00:36:26.779
 he's going to

00:36:26.779 --> 00:36:27.579
 give us life

00:36:27.579 --> 00:36:28.219
 he is a source

00:36:28.219 --> 00:36:28.759
 of health

00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:30.080
 and here's

00:36:30.080 --> 00:36:30.640
 if you put

00:36:30.640 --> 00:36:31.040
 on the next

00:36:31.040 --> 00:36:31.220
 one

00:36:31.220 --> 00:36:31.440
 Andrew

00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:31.660
 that would

00:36:31.660 --> 00:36:32.080
 be great

00:36:32.080 --> 00:36:33.480
 what the gospel

00:36:33.480 --> 00:36:33.920
 is going to

00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:34.340
 show

00:36:34.340 --> 00:36:36.460
 I can't remember

00:36:36.460 --> 00:36:36.880
 now if it's

00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:37.340
 Ephesians

00:36:37.340 --> 00:36:38.180
 or Colossians

00:36:38.180 --> 00:36:40.060
 but it

00:36:40.060 --> 00:36:40.980
 describes how

00:36:40.980 --> 00:36:41.780
 apart from

00:36:41.780 --> 00:36:42.620
 God's grace

00:36:42.620 --> 00:36:43.580
 we are

00:36:43.580 --> 00:36:44.480
 cadavers

00:36:44.480 --> 00:36:45.620
 we are

00:36:45.620 --> 00:36:46.220
 corpses

00:36:46.220 --> 00:36:46.980
 in the

00:36:46.980 --> 00:36:47.780
 funeral home

00:36:47.780 --> 00:36:49.660
 and a corpse

00:36:49.660 --> 00:36:50.140
 can do

00:36:50.140 --> 00:36:50.880
 nothing to

00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:51.480
 make itself

00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:52.100
 alive

00:36:52.099 --> 00:36:56.019
 and it's

00:36:56.019 --> 00:36:56.460
 a very

00:36:56.460 --> 00:36:57.400
 very glaring

00:36:57.400 --> 00:36:58.779
 image of

00:36:58.779 --> 00:36:59.139
 God

00:36:59.139 --> 00:36:59.779
 has to do

00:36:59.779 --> 00:37:00.460
 everything

00:37:00.460 --> 00:37:01.319
 to bring us

00:37:01.319 --> 00:37:01.839
 life

00:37:01.839 --> 00:37:02.360
 it's like

00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:03.179
 Ezekiel

00:37:03.179 --> 00:37:04.079
 can these

00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:05.059
 dry bones

00:37:05.059 --> 00:37:05.599
 live

00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:06.480
 it's like

00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:07.659
 Isaiah 43

00:37:07.659 --> 00:37:08.539
 verses 4

00:37:08.539 --> 00:37:09.119
 and 5

00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:09.819
 where it

00:37:09.819 --> 00:37:10.380
 talks about

00:37:10.380 --> 00:37:10.980
 by his

00:37:10.980 --> 00:37:11.460
 wounds

00:37:11.460 --> 00:37:11.819
 we are

00:37:11.819 --> 00:37:12.139
 healed

00:37:12.139 --> 00:37:12.599
 that he

00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:13.059
 himself

00:37:13.059 --> 00:37:13.339
 bore

00:37:13.339 --> 00:37:14.099
 our sins

00:37:14.099 --> 00:37:14.360
 our

00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:15.039
 iniquity

00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:15.579
 our

00:37:15.579 --> 00:37:16.199
 sickness

00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:17.319
 to give

00:37:17.319 --> 00:37:17.579
 us

00:37:17.579 --> 00:37:18.339
 life

00:37:18.339 --> 00:37:19.400
 and the

00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:19.759
 Bible

00:37:19.759 --> 00:37:20.079
 is going

00:37:20.079 --> 00:37:20.699
 to describe

00:37:20.699 --> 00:37:21.199
 and John

00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:21.420
 is going

00:37:21.420 --> 00:37:21.940
 to describe

00:37:21.940 --> 00:37:22.639
 that Jesus

00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:23.820
 bore my

00:37:23.820 --> 00:37:24.700
 sickness

00:37:24.700 --> 00:37:26.019
 unto death

00:37:26.019 --> 00:37:27.700
 so that I

00:37:27.700 --> 00:37:28.500
 might receive

00:37:28.500 --> 00:37:30.139
 his health

00:37:30.139 --> 00:37:31.380
 unto eternal

00:37:31.380 --> 00:37:31.820
 life

00:37:31.820 --> 00:37:33.900
 that Jesus

00:37:33.900 --> 00:37:34.880
 on the cross

00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:35.679
 and in his

00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:36.380
 whole ministry

00:37:36.380 --> 00:37:37.380
 he's bearing

00:37:37.380 --> 00:37:38.760
 the sickness

00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:39.559
 and all

00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:40.480
 sickness is a

00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:41.400
 sign of our

00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:43.400
 coming death

00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:44.079
 it's a sign

00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:44.860
 of our separation

00:37:44.860 --> 00:37:45.460
 from God

00:37:45.460 --> 00:37:45.900
 it's a

00:37:45.900 --> 00:37:47.300
 wonderful image

00:37:47.300 --> 00:37:47.840
 that things

00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:48.519
 just aren't

00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:48.940
 right

00:37:48.940 --> 00:37:50.019
 we desire

00:37:50.019 --> 00:37:50.460
 health

00:37:50.460 --> 00:37:51.360
 we long

00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:51.900
 for health

00:37:51.900 --> 00:37:52.800
 and Jesus

00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:53.539
 will bear

00:37:53.539 --> 00:37:53.960
 my

00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:54.780
 sickness

00:37:54.780 --> 00:37:55.840
 unto death

00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:57.059
 when he

00:37:57.059 --> 00:37:57.579
 dies upon

00:37:57.579 --> 00:37:58.180
 the cross

00:37:58.180 --> 00:37:59.380
 so that I

00:37:59.380 --> 00:38:00.240
 might receive

00:38:00.240 --> 00:38:01.079
 his

00:38:01.079 --> 00:38:02.420
 health

00:38:02.420 --> 00:38:03.519
 unto eternal

00:38:03.519 --> 00:38:03.780
 life

00:38:03.780 --> 00:38:04.220
 could you put up

00:38:04.220 --> 00:38:04.599
 the final

00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:04.940
 point

00:38:04.940 --> 00:38:05.900
 so here's

00:38:05.900 --> 00:38:06.460
 what the text

00:38:06.460 --> 00:38:06.960
 is teaching

00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:07.380
 us

00:38:07.380 --> 00:38:09.099
 saving

00:38:09.099 --> 00:38:09.760
 faith

00:38:09.760 --> 00:38:10.440
 see

00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:11.519
 what's

00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:11.860
 going on

00:38:11.860 --> 00:38:12.099
 in this

00:38:12.099 --> 00:38:12.840
 gospel

00:38:12.840 --> 00:38:13.300
 is that

00:38:13.300 --> 00:38:13.720
 John

00:38:13.720 --> 00:38:14.300
 is not

00:38:14.300 --> 00:38:14.619
 only

00:38:14.619 --> 00:38:14.980
 helping

00:38:14.980 --> 00:38:15.160
 us

00:38:15.160 --> 00:38:16.240
 Jesus

00:38:16.240 --> 00:38:17.160
 is revealing

00:38:17.160 --> 00:38:17.740
 who God

00:38:17.740 --> 00:38:18.099
 is

00:38:18.099 --> 00:38:19.279
 God

00:38:19.279 --> 00:38:19.519
 is

00:38:19.519 --> 00:38:19.779
 not

00:38:19.779 --> 00:38:19.960
 the

00:38:19.960 --> 00:38:20.319
 God

00:38:20.319 --> 00:38:21.400
 in the

00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:21.819
 earlier

00:38:21.819 --> 00:38:22.239
 thing

00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:22.799
 God

00:38:22.799 --> 00:38:23.059
 is not

00:38:23.059 --> 00:38:23.199
 the

00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:23.360
 God

00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:23.500
 of

00:38:23.500 --> 00:38:23.799
 lies

00:38:23.799 --> 00:38:24.019
 he's

00:38:24.019 --> 00:38:24.139
 the

00:38:24.139 --> 00:38:24.299
 God

00:38:24.299 --> 00:38:24.440
 of

00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:24.779
 truth

00:38:24.779 --> 00:38:25.019
 if you

00:38:25.019 --> 00:38:25.440
 know a lie

00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:25.659
 it's

00:38:25.659 --> 00:38:25.860
 not

00:38:25.860 --> 00:38:26.319
 God

00:38:26.319 --> 00:38:27.719
 God

00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:27.839
 is

00:38:27.839 --> 00:38:27.940
 the

00:38:27.940 --> 00:38:28.079
 God

00:38:28.079 --> 00:38:28.199
 of

00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:28.699
 truth

00:38:28.699 --> 00:38:30.400
 God

00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:30.539
 is

00:38:30.539 --> 00:38:30.679
 the

00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:30.860
 God

00:38:30.860 --> 00:38:31.019
 of

00:38:31.019 --> 00:38:31.679
 joy

00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:33.539
 God

00:38:33.539 --> 00:38:33.759
 is

00:38:33.759 --> 00:38:34.259
 in this

00:38:34.259 --> 00:38:34.759
 in this

00:38:34.759 --> 00:38:35.199
 story

00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:35.420
 we're

00:38:35.420 --> 00:38:35.619
 seeing

00:38:35.619 --> 00:38:36.000
 God

00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:36.239
 is

00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:36.559
 not

00:38:36.559 --> 00:38:36.880
 like

00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:37.400
 Rocky

00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:37.759
 who can

00:38:37.759 --> 00:38:37.940
 be

00:38:37.940 --> 00:38:38.380
 trained

00:38:38.380 --> 00:38:38.960
 to

00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:39.319
 close

00:38:39.319 --> 00:38:39.519
 a

00:38:39.519 --> 00:38:39.759
 door

00:38:39.759 --> 00:38:40.139
 God

00:38:40.139 --> 00:38:40.339
 is

00:38:40.339 --> 00:38:41.259
 untamable

00:38:41.259 --> 00:38:41.559
 and

00:38:41.559 --> 00:38:41.900
 good

00:38:41.900 --> 00:38:42.400
 who

00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:42.639
 else

00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:42.779
 is

00:38:42.779 --> 00:38:43.139
 God

00:38:43.139 --> 00:38:44.000
 God

00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:44.379
 is

00:38:44.379 --> 00:38:44.659
 where

00:38:44.659 --> 00:38:45.179
 health

00:38:45.179 --> 00:38:45.480
 is

00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:46.199
 God

00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:46.519
 is

00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:46.839
 where

00:38:46.839 --> 00:38:47.519
 life

00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:48.119
 is

00:38:48.119 --> 00:38:52.039
 and

00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:54.219
 saving

00:38:54.219 --> 00:38:54.879
 faith

00:38:54.879 --> 00:38:55.539
 and so

00:38:55.539 --> 00:38:55.940
 Jesus

00:38:55.940 --> 00:38:56.500
 is

00:38:56.500 --> 00:38:57.039
 revealing

00:38:57.039 --> 00:38:58.239
 who

00:38:58.239 --> 00:38:58.440
 he

00:38:58.440 --> 00:38:58.839
 is

00:38:58.839 --> 00:38:59.420
 and

00:38:59.420 --> 00:38:59.619
 he's

00:38:59.619 --> 00:39:00.000
 also

00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:00.579
 revealing

00:39:00.579 --> 00:39:01.559
 how

00:39:01.559 --> 00:39:01.739
 we're

00:39:01.739 --> 00:39:01.920
 to

00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:02.619
 respond

00:39:02.619 --> 00:39:04.359
 and

00:39:04.359 --> 00:39:04.819
 saving

00:39:04.819 --> 00:39:05.239
 faith

00:39:05.239 --> 00:39:06.079
 welcomes

00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:07.139
