00:00:00.900 --> 00:00:03.439
 Will you pray with me as we come to God's word?

00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:04.060
 Let's pray.

00:00:10.580 --> 00:00:13.400
 Father, all of us, to some degree or another,

00:00:14.339 --> 00:00:18.879
 have had a chaotic week in this world,

00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:22.420
 the turmoil of this life.

00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:27.539
 Lord, you know each of our hearts.

00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:29.640
 You know what we need to hear.

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:33.280
 You know what we need to see in you.

00:00:34.020 --> 00:00:38.980
 So we pray that you would show us the light of your son.

00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.019
 Lord, we all need to see your son more clearly this morning.

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:47.379
 We need to know the life that you give us through knowing him.

00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.120
 So I pray that you would make Jesus clear to us,

00:00:51.740 --> 00:00:56.039
 show us his glory so that we might have life in him.

00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:58.400
 In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.239
 I want to start this morning by asking,

00:01:04.579 --> 00:01:08.400
 what are you entitled to in this world?

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:15.040
 That car spot at the front of your house?

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:22.380
 Maybe some compensation, some money.

00:01:23.540 --> 00:01:28.219
 Do you have that feeling where you need your ideas to be validated?

00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.380
 People need to agree with what your opinion is.

00:01:32.379 --> 00:01:38.239
 Are you entitled for people to sympathise with your emotions?

00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:47.699
 Maybe we feel entitled to have a really satisfying job where we feel important and successful.

00:01:48.819 --> 00:01:50.199
 It needs to fulfil us.

00:01:50.579 --> 00:01:52.759
 Maybe we feel entitled to be comfortable.

00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:56.660
 Socially, physically.

00:01:59.820 --> 00:02:02.800
 Maybe you feel entitled to some peace and quiet.

00:02:04.260 --> 00:02:06.219
 Maybe you feel entitled to a holiday.

00:02:06.219 --> 00:02:09.680
 In an argument.

00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:09.719
 In an argument.

00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:14.879
 Do you have that thought process where I deserve to get my way.

00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:16.500
 My point of view is right.

00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:18.579
 I must have it.

00:02:18.659 --> 00:02:19.639
 I'm entitled to it.

00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:24.039
 I'm entitled to an apology.

00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:27.479
 I'm not loving that person until they apologise.

00:02:31.099 --> 00:02:34.439
 We don't really like it when someone's too entitled, do we?

00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.479
 I'm picturing, as a really small example,

00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:42.639
 I'm picturing like at a bakery or you're ordering a coffee

00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:46.439
 and you're not quite sure who the person's going to serve

00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:47.620
 and they're like, who was first?

00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:49.039
 And you know you were first.

00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:51.039
 But someone sees the opportunity

00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:54.259
 and they just go, oh, yep, and they take their order.

00:02:57.699 --> 00:02:59.139
 I've had a hard week.

00:03:05.500 --> 00:03:08.039
 Are you entitled to be respected?

00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:10.560
 To be loved?

00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:16.560
 To have that position in your company?

00:03:17.060 --> 00:03:19.780
 That position of power in the family?

00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.319
 That position of influence in the church?

00:03:24.859 --> 00:03:26.019
 Do you deserve it?

00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.579
 Who are you frustrated at at the moment?

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.620
 What do you think they're not giving you that you deserve?

00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:43.099
 I think a sense of entitlement,

00:03:43.340 --> 00:03:45.759
 demanding what is rightfully owed to me,

00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:48.739
 it's the air we breathe in this world.

00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:56.299
 It's the language we all understand and operate on.

00:03:58.299 --> 00:04:01.539
 I wonder if we can treat God with a sense of entitlement.

00:04:01.539 --> 00:04:06.560
 I can easily get into the headspace of,

00:04:07.139 --> 00:04:10.359
 I've done this and this and this for you, God.

00:04:10.799 --> 00:04:13.219
 I deserve some leisure time now.

00:04:13.399 --> 00:04:17.060
 You have no right to tell me to do more.

00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:25.199
 Or maybe we can treat God really well in one area of our life

00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:29.500
 and so we deserve forgiveness for that other area.

00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:35.860
 Or maybe we praise him and thank him and pray to him in the morning

00:04:35.860 --> 00:04:40.300
 and we think we deserve a really smooth rest of the day,

00:04:41.099 --> 00:04:41.839
 trouble-free.

00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:49.519
 I wonder if we easily get frustrated at God

00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:53.719
 because he doesn't answer our prayers when we want him to.

00:04:57.959 --> 00:04:59.459
 Can we easily pray,

00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:01.759
 give me today my daily bread,

00:05:03.259 --> 00:05:05.479
 without also praying,

00:05:05.659 --> 00:05:06.539
 your kingdom come,

00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:08.199
 your will be done.

00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:08.259
 Amen.

00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:13.399
 What we deserve,

00:05:13.599 --> 00:05:14.279
 entitlement,

00:05:14.419 --> 00:05:15.659
 it's the air we breathe

00:05:15.659 --> 00:05:18.019
 and it seeps into our relationship with God,

00:05:18.119 --> 00:05:19.419
 it seeps into the church,

00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.000
 it seeps in everywhere.

00:05:22.619 --> 00:05:23.659
 And if we're honest,

00:05:23.779 --> 00:05:24.620
 I think we love it.

00:05:32.919 --> 00:05:35.120
 As we come to listen to John 12,

00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:37.759
 Jesus stands out from this world.

00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.139
 He is the light

00:05:40.139 --> 00:05:42.939
 that exposes the darkness.

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:45.879
 He is the light

00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:49.000
 that conquers the darkness.

00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:50.139
 He is the light

00:05:50.139 --> 00:05:52.539
 that draws people into his life.

00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:54.560
 He stands out.

00:05:57.060 --> 00:05:58.360
 So let's look at him.

00:05:58.459 --> 00:06:00.139
 Let's listen to him in John 12.

00:06:00.300 --> 00:06:01.139
 In our passage today,

00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.459
 we're coming close to the last words

00:06:04.459 --> 00:06:06.120
 that Jesus speaks publicly

00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:08.180
 before he's executed.

00:06:08.180 --> 00:06:13.699
 And we see that an event happens

00:06:13.699 --> 00:06:15.660
 and it seems like not a big deal,

00:06:15.780 --> 00:06:17.280
 but it's actually symbolic.

00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:18.579
 It's a trigger

00:06:18.579 --> 00:06:20.800
 for the time that Jesus

00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:21.960
 is going to be glorified

00:06:21.960 --> 00:06:22.920
 as king of the world.

00:06:25.340 --> 00:06:26.280
 And then we're going to look

00:06:26.280 --> 00:06:27.360
 at the four aspects

00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:29.399
 of what it will mean for Jesus

00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:31.199
 to become king of the world.

00:06:32.300 --> 00:06:33.920
 He first tells us that

00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:35.879
 he's like the one seed

00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:36.759
 that is buried,

00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:37.620
 that is planted

00:06:37.620 --> 00:06:39.199
 to produce many seeds.

00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:42.219
 And this involves

00:06:42.219 --> 00:06:44.180
 him choosing to hate his life

00:06:44.180 --> 00:06:47.300
 in order to make the father known.

00:06:49.579 --> 00:06:50.839
 And by doing this,

00:06:50.899 --> 00:06:51.560
 by dying,

00:06:51.819 --> 00:06:52.980
 he will decisively

00:06:52.980 --> 00:06:54.240
 defeat

00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:56.000
 his enemies.

00:06:58.000 --> 00:06:59.159
 And by doing it,

00:06:59.500 --> 00:07:00.219
 on our behalf,

00:07:00.300 --> 00:07:01.000
 he's going to draw

00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:02.360
 the whole world to himself.

00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:07.180
 this is what it will mean

00:07:07.180 --> 00:07:07.699
 for Jesus

00:07:07.699 --> 00:07:08.500
 to become king.

00:07:11.620 --> 00:07:12.740
 So once we've looked

00:07:12.740 --> 00:07:13.580
 and listened

00:07:13.580 --> 00:07:15.220
 and seen Jesus' light,

00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:16.400
 we're going to be confronted

00:07:16.400 --> 00:07:17.280
 with two questions.

00:07:17.379 --> 00:07:18.540
 Is this the kind of king

00:07:18.540 --> 00:07:20.100
 that we want?

00:07:20.819 --> 00:07:22.139
 Is this what we're looking for?

00:07:22.139 --> 00:07:27.379
 And are we going to follow

00:07:27.379 --> 00:07:27.839
 this king?

00:07:32.419 --> 00:07:33.639
 So chapters 1

00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:34.259
 to 11

00:07:34.259 --> 00:07:35.419
 of John

00:07:35.419 --> 00:07:36.479
 cover about

00:07:36.479 --> 00:07:37.759
 three years

00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:38.519
 of Jesus'

00:07:38.719 --> 00:07:39.500
 public ministry.

00:07:40.500 --> 00:07:41.219
 But these

00:07:41.219 --> 00:07:42.699
 final ten chapters

00:07:42.699 --> 00:07:44.339
 slow right down

00:07:44.339 --> 00:07:45.039
 and focus on

00:07:45.039 --> 00:07:46.019
 Jesus' final week.

00:07:47.579 --> 00:07:48.459
 John doesn't want us

00:07:48.459 --> 00:07:48.959
 to miss

00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:49.959
 the gravity

00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:50.959
 of this moment.

00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:52.139
 Something big

00:07:52.139 --> 00:07:52.699
 is happening.

00:07:54.459 --> 00:07:55.199
 All Jesus'

00:07:55.359 --> 00:07:56.560
 powerful signs

00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:57.979
 that demonstrate

00:07:57.979 --> 00:07:59.099
 that he has been

00:07:59.099 --> 00:08:00.279
 sent by God the Father,

00:08:00.620 --> 00:08:01.639
 they've hit a climax.

00:08:02.859 --> 00:08:04.219
 Bringing a dead man

00:08:04.219 --> 00:08:04.939
 whose flesh

00:08:04.939 --> 00:08:06.699
 was starting to smell

00:08:06.699 --> 00:08:08.459
 after four days.

00:08:09.699 --> 00:08:10.479
 Calling him

00:08:10.479 --> 00:08:11.240
 out of the tomb

00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:12.959
 and then later

00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:13.899
 having dinner with him.

00:08:16.379 --> 00:08:17.359
 Who wouldn't

00:08:17.359 --> 00:08:18.240
 follow a king

00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:18.939
 into battle

00:08:18.939 --> 00:08:20.259
 who could

00:08:20.259 --> 00:08:21.300
 resurrect his people.

00:08:24.379 --> 00:08:25.139
 But John

00:08:25.139 --> 00:08:26.019
 wants us to focus

00:08:26.019 --> 00:08:26.579
 on something

00:08:26.579 --> 00:08:27.719
 even bigger.

00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:29.860
 Something is coming.

00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:31.660
 And if it's bigger

00:08:31.660 --> 00:08:32.039
 than that

00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:33.080
 it must be huge.

00:08:35.940 --> 00:08:36.620
 And John

00:08:36.620 --> 00:08:37.440
 keeps telling us

00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:38.580
 again and again

00:08:38.580 --> 00:08:40.639
 that the Passover

00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:41.159
 feast

00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:41.740
 is about

00:08:41.740 --> 00:08:42.399
 to begin.

00:08:43.860 --> 00:08:44.740
 The feast

00:08:44.740 --> 00:08:45.519
 that remembers

00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:46.519
 God's powerful

00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:47.259
 signs

00:08:47.259 --> 00:08:48.259
 through Moses

00:08:48.259 --> 00:08:49.600
 in saving

00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:50.120
 Israel

00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:51.139
 from the control

00:08:51.139 --> 00:08:51.799
 of Egypt.

00:08:53.059 --> 00:08:53.980
 Where God's

00:08:53.980 --> 00:08:55.240
 decisive act

00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:55.840
 of judging

00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:56.939
 Pharaoh and

00:08:56.939 --> 00:08:57.620
 Egypt

00:08:57.620 --> 00:08:58.639
 and delivering

00:08:58.639 --> 00:08:59.259
 his people

00:08:59.259 --> 00:09:01.100
 was the death

00:09:01.100 --> 00:09:01.840
 that hit

00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:02.720
 everyone.

00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:05.679
 But God

00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:06.740
 spared his people

00:09:06.740 --> 00:09:08.799
 through the land

00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:09.740
 that was sacrificed

00:09:09.740 --> 00:09:11.519
 so that death

00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:12.480
 passed over them.

00:09:17.019 --> 00:09:17.740
 And then

00:09:17.740 --> 00:09:18.299
 Jesus

00:09:18.299 --> 00:09:19.379
 rides

00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:20.480
 into Jerusalem

00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:23.180
 with all Israel

00:09:23.180 --> 00:09:24.159
 acknowledging him

00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:24.860
 as their king

00:09:24.860 --> 00:09:25.799
 crying out

00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:26.279
 Hosanna

00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:27.240
 save us

00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:27.820
 we pray.

00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:29.419
 What is

00:09:29.419 --> 00:09:29.860
 Jesus

00:09:29.860 --> 00:09:30.759
 about to do?

00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:34.519
 He's coming

00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:35.340
 into the city

00:09:35.340 --> 00:09:36.159
 of God's king.

00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:37.200
 Will he take

00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:37.900
 up his throne

00:09:37.900 --> 00:09:38.560
 surely?

00:09:40.300 --> 00:09:41.200
 Will he rule

00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:41.960
 over the world

00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:42.700
 from Jerusalem

00:09:42.700 --> 00:09:43.660
 smashing

00:09:43.660 --> 00:09:44.800
 all the nations

00:09:44.800 --> 00:09:46.200
 bringing prosperity

00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:47.860
 like never before?

00:09:48.700 --> 00:09:49.540
 We are on the

00:09:49.540 --> 00:09:50.560
 verge of the

00:09:50.560 --> 00:09:51.220
 fulfilment

00:09:51.220 --> 00:09:52.420
 of God's promises

00:09:52.420 --> 00:09:53.400
 in the Old Testament

00:09:53.400 --> 00:09:54.700
 like Psalm 2

00:09:54.700 --> 00:09:55.320
 the king

00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:56.100
 who will reign

00:09:56.100 --> 00:09:57.259
 over all the world.

00:09:57.759 --> 00:09:58.280
 The crowds

00:09:58.280 --> 00:09:58.820
 want it.

00:09:59.200 --> 00:09:59.580
 Jesus

00:09:59.580 --> 00:10:00.860
 raising Lazarus

00:10:00.860 --> 00:10:01.620
 he's got the power

00:10:01.620 --> 00:10:02.220
 to do it.

00:10:03.900 --> 00:10:04.759
 The Jewish

00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:05.420
 leaders

00:10:05.420 --> 00:10:06.640
 who are against him

00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:07.539
 they seem powerless

00:10:07.539 --> 00:10:08.620
 they seem frustrated.

00:10:12.059 --> 00:10:12.460
 Surely

00:10:12.460 --> 00:10:13.059
 with everything

00:10:13.059 --> 00:10:13.659
 in place

00:10:13.659 --> 00:10:14.620
 Jerusalem's

00:10:14.620 --> 00:10:14.960
 welcome

00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:15.699
 will trigger

00:10:15.699 --> 00:10:17.439
 the king's

00:10:17.439 --> 00:10:17.980
 ascension

00:10:17.980 --> 00:10:19.580
 to the throne.

00:10:24.220 --> 00:10:25.220
 But we find

00:10:25.220 --> 00:10:25.939
 a different trigger

00:10:25.939 --> 00:10:27.279
 in verses

00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:28.360
 20 to 23.

00:10:28.860 --> 00:10:29.399
 Have a look

00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:29.799
 with me.

00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:35.740
 Now among

00:10:35.740 --> 00:10:36.399
 those who went

00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:37.019
 up to worship

00:10:37.019 --> 00:10:37.719
 at the feast

00:10:37.719 --> 00:10:38.659
 were some Greeks.

00:10:39.659 --> 00:10:40.000
 So these

00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:40.939
 came to Philip

00:10:40.939 --> 00:10:41.819
 who was from

00:10:41.819 --> 00:10:42.439
 Bethsaida

00:10:42.439 --> 00:10:43.179
 in Galilee

00:10:43.179 --> 00:10:44.359
 and asked him

00:10:44.359 --> 00:10:44.740
 sir

00:10:44.740 --> 00:10:45.179
 we wish

00:10:45.179 --> 00:10:45.620
 to see

00:10:45.620 --> 00:10:46.159
 Jesus.

00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:47.559
 Philip

00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:48.059
 went and

00:10:48.059 --> 00:10:48.599
 told Andrew

00:10:48.599 --> 00:10:49.179
 Andrew and

00:10:49.179 --> 00:10:49.459
 Philip

00:10:49.459 --> 00:10:50.559
 went and

00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:51.439
 told Jesus.

00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:56.380
 that's a

00:10:56.380 --> 00:10:57.460
 pretty tame

00:10:57.460 --> 00:10:58.000
 trigger

00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:00.200
 for God's

00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:00.700
 biggest

00:11:00.700 --> 00:11:01.400
 moment

00:11:01.400 --> 00:11:02.640
 in history.

00:11:04.640 --> 00:11:05.500
 A few

00:11:05.500 --> 00:11:05.940
 Greeks

00:11:05.940 --> 00:11:06.340
 want to

00:11:06.340 --> 00:11:06.920
 see Jesus.

00:11:10.180 --> 00:11:11.200
 So what?

00:11:11.820 --> 00:11:12.840
 We might be

00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:13.560
 thinking.

00:11:14.680 --> 00:11:15.780
 There must be

00:11:15.780 --> 00:11:16.360
 something more

00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:17.280
 symbolic going on

00:11:17.280 --> 00:11:17.480
 here.

00:11:17.900 --> 00:11:18.380
 So what do we

00:11:18.380 --> 00:11:18.600
 know?

00:11:18.920 --> 00:11:19.340
 They're not

00:11:19.340 --> 00:11:20.220
 ethnic Jews.

00:11:20.740 --> 00:11:21.280
 They're not

00:11:21.280 --> 00:11:22.000
 descendants of

00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:22.360
 Abraham.

00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:24.259
 They don't

00:11:24.259 --> 00:11:24.680
 have any

00:11:24.680 --> 00:11:26.080
 right to

00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:26.460
 the kingdom

00:11:26.460 --> 00:11:26.980
 of God.

00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:28.700
 But they

00:11:28.700 --> 00:11:29.120
 have either

00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:30.040
 fully converted

00:11:30.040 --> 00:11:30.759
 to Judaism

00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:32.240
 or they

00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:33.019
 worship God

00:11:33.019 --> 00:11:33.780
 while remaining

00:11:33.780 --> 00:11:34.519
 fully Greek.

00:11:34.820 --> 00:11:35.259
 And they've

00:11:35.259 --> 00:11:35.879
 come to

00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:36.540
 Jerusalem to

00:11:36.540 --> 00:11:37.120
 worship at

00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:37.560
 the Passover.

00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:40.000
 If we

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:40.600
 picture them

00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:41.220
 in Jerusalem

00:11:41.220 --> 00:11:42.620
 you won't

00:11:42.620 --> 00:11:43.320
 see them

00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:44.519
 inside the

00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:44.820
 temple.

00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:46.560
 They couldn't

00:11:46.560 --> 00:11:47.080
 go in there.

00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:48.040
 Only

00:11:48.040 --> 00:11:48.540
 priests,

00:11:48.980 --> 00:11:49.220
 Jewish

00:11:49.220 --> 00:11:49.600
 priests,

00:11:49.660 --> 00:11:49.940
 could go

00:11:49.940 --> 00:11:50.240
 in there.

00:11:51.259 --> 00:11:51.680
 You

00:11:51.680 --> 00:11:51.879
 wouldn't

00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:52.420
 see them

00:11:52.420 --> 00:11:52.720
 in the

00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:52.940
 inner

00:11:52.940 --> 00:11:53.800
 court where

00:11:53.800 --> 00:11:53.980
 the

00:11:53.980 --> 00:11:54.560
 sacrifices

00:11:54.560 --> 00:11:54.840
 were

00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:55.120
 offered.

00:11:55.580 --> 00:11:55.820
 Only

00:11:55.820 --> 00:11:56.220
 Jews

00:11:56.220 --> 00:11:56.620
 could go

00:11:56.620 --> 00:11:56.960
 in there.

00:11:57.440 --> 00:11:57.660
 You

00:11:57.660 --> 00:11:58.019
 can't

00:11:58.019 --> 00:11:58.399
 get that

00:11:58.399 --> 00:11:58.920
 close to

00:11:58.920 --> 00:11:59.259
 God if

00:11:59.259 --> 00:11:59.399
 you're

00:11:59.399 --> 00:11:59.540
 a

00:11:59.540 --> 00:11:59.800
 Greek.

00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:01.320
 There

00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:01.600
 is a

00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:01.899
 warning

00:12:01.899 --> 00:12:02.399
 sign

00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:03.740
 going into

00:12:03.740 --> 00:12:03.960
 that

00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:04.360
 courtyard.

00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:04.940
 If you

00:12:04.940 --> 00:12:05.340
 go in

00:12:05.340 --> 00:12:06.259
 here you

00:12:06.259 --> 00:12:06.759
 will be

00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:07.080
 stoned

00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:07.560
 to death.

00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:10.420
 They

00:12:10.420 --> 00:12:10.660
 would have

00:12:10.660 --> 00:12:10.920
 been in

00:12:10.920 --> 00:12:11.300
 the outer

00:12:11.300 --> 00:12:11.720
 courtyard

00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:12.740
 at best

00:12:12.740 --> 00:12:14.639
 trying to

00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:15.259
 worship God,

00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:15.800
 trying to

00:12:15.800 --> 00:12:16.340
 come close

00:12:16.340 --> 00:12:16.759
 to God.

00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.740
 given what's

00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:21.299
 going on in

00:12:21.299 --> 00:12:21.860
 Jerusalem at

00:12:21.860 --> 00:12:22.179
 the time,

00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:22.519
 it's not

00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:23.299
 surprising they

00:12:23.299 --> 00:12:23.720
 hear of

00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:24.240
 Jesus and

00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:24.519
 so they

00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:25.299
 approach

00:12:25.299 --> 00:12:25.620
 Philip,

00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:26.819
 who apparently

00:12:26.819 --> 00:12:27.779
 is a

00:12:27.779 --> 00:12:28.319
 Greek name,

00:12:28.819 --> 00:12:29.159
 so he

00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:29.639
 could speak

00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:30.000
 Greek,

00:12:30.059 --> 00:12:30.279
 we can

00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:30.659
 assume,

00:12:30.939 --> 00:12:31.200
 and he's

00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:31.500
 from a

00:12:31.500 --> 00:12:32.019
 Greek-speaking

00:12:32.019 --> 00:12:32.700
 town in

00:12:32.700 --> 00:12:33.220
 Bethsaida.

00:12:33.860 --> 00:12:34.279
 But Philip

00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:34.740
 seems a bit

00:12:34.740 --> 00:12:35.179
 unsure.

00:12:36.259 --> 00:12:36.799
 Maybe he's

00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:37.759
 expecting Jesus

00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:38.559
 to be king

00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:39.039
 of Israel.

00:12:39.220 --> 00:12:39.700
 Should he

00:12:39.700 --> 00:12:41.460
 waste time

00:12:41.460 --> 00:12:42.279
 with foreigners?

00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:43.860
 We're not

00:12:43.860 --> 00:12:44.399
 really told

00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:44.879
 what's going

00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:45.220
 on in

00:12:45.220 --> 00:12:45.559
 Philip's

00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:45.839
 mind.

00:12:47.199 --> 00:12:47.659
 But he

00:12:47.659 --> 00:12:48.220
 tells Andrew

00:12:48.220 --> 00:12:48.919
 and together

00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:49.339
 they seem

00:12:49.339 --> 00:12:49.600
 to think

00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:49.799
 it's a

00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:50.279
 good idea.

00:12:50.959 --> 00:12:51.339
 Maybe

00:12:51.339 --> 00:12:51.539
 they're

00:12:51.539 --> 00:12:52.100
 excited

00:12:52.100 --> 00:12:53.439
 by Jesus

00:12:53.439 --> 00:12:53.779
 growing

00:12:53.779 --> 00:12:54.339
 popularity,

00:12:54.579 --> 00:12:54.860
 so they

00:12:54.860 --> 00:12:55.299
 go and

00:12:55.299 --> 00:12:55.959
 tell Jesus.

00:12:56.980 --> 00:12:57.279
 And for

00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:57.720
 Jesus,

00:12:58.579 --> 00:12:59.039
 he's the

00:12:59.039 --> 00:12:59.959
 only one

00:12:59.959 --> 00:13:00.720
 who understands

00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:01.199
 what's going

00:13:01.199 --> 00:13:01.519
 on.

00:13:02.819 --> 00:13:03.579
 This is

00:13:03.579 --> 00:13:04.100
 the trigger.

00:13:06.980 --> 00:13:07.299
 He

00:13:07.299 --> 00:13:07.899
 declares

00:13:07.899 --> 00:13:08.679
 the hour

00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:09.659
 has come

00:13:09.659 --> 00:13:11.120
 for the

00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:11.439
 Son of

00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:11.740
 Man to

00:13:11.740 --> 00:13:11.860
 be

00:13:11.860 --> 00:13:12.460
 glorified.

00:13:18.560 --> 00:13:19.220
 At the

00:13:19.220 --> 00:13:19.860
 very start

00:13:19.860 --> 00:13:20.360
 of Jesus'

00:13:20.540 --> 00:13:20.880
 ministry,

00:13:21.920 --> 00:13:22.980
 he goes

00:13:22.980 --> 00:13:23.400
 to a

00:13:23.400 --> 00:13:23.640
 wedding

00:13:23.640 --> 00:13:24.100
 in

00:13:24.100 --> 00:13:24.500
 Cana.

00:13:26.160 --> 00:13:26.980
 And if

00:13:26.980 --> 00:13:27.500
 you remember

00:13:27.500 --> 00:13:28.700
 what happened

00:13:28.700 --> 00:13:28.960
 there,

00:13:29.260 --> 00:13:29.680
 what's his

00:13:29.680 --> 00:13:30.580
 response when

00:13:30.580 --> 00:13:31.200
 he's asked

00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:31.600
 to help

00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:32.120
 with the

00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:32.900
 wine that

00:13:32.900 --> 00:13:33.200
 has run

00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:33.420
 out?

00:13:34.620 --> 00:13:35.340
 He says,

00:13:35.420 --> 00:13:35.900
 my hour

00:13:35.900 --> 00:13:36.320
 has not

00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:36.860
 yet come.

00:13:39.500 --> 00:13:40.020
 John

00:13:40.020 --> 00:13:40.400
 just

00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:41.980
 puts that

00:13:41.980 --> 00:13:42.360
 in there,

00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:43.100
 his hour.

00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:43.579
 What is

00:13:43.579 --> 00:13:43.759
 it?

00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:44.819
 We're not

00:13:44.819 --> 00:13:45.159
 told.

00:13:45.259 --> 00:13:45.600
 It keeps

00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:45.899
 us in

00:13:45.899 --> 00:13:46.459
 suspense.

00:13:46.959 --> 00:13:47.199
 And then

00:13:47.199 --> 00:13:48.199
 we jump

00:13:48.199 --> 00:13:48.759
 forward a few

00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:49.419
 chapters and

00:13:49.419 --> 00:13:49.959
 Jesus is

00:13:49.959 --> 00:13:51.199
 speaking to

00:13:51.199 --> 00:13:52.419
 the Samaritan

00:13:52.419 --> 00:13:53.059
 woman at

00:13:53.059 --> 00:13:53.480
 the well.

00:13:54.419 --> 00:13:54.759
 And he

00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:55.159
 says to

00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:55.299
 her,

00:13:56.299 --> 00:13:56.919
 the hour

00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:57.860
 is coming

00:13:57.860 --> 00:13:59.879
 when neither

00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:00.519
 on this

00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:01.519
 mountain nor

00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:02.199
 in Jerusalem

00:14:02.199 --> 00:14:02.980
 will you

00:14:02.980 --> 00:14:03.980
 worship the

00:14:03.980 --> 00:14:04.319
 Father.

00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:04.440
 Father.

00:14:05.340 --> 00:14:05.800
 But the

00:14:05.800 --> 00:14:06.360
 hour is

00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:06.940
 coming and

00:14:06.940 --> 00:14:07.560
 is now

00:14:07.560 --> 00:14:08.820
 here when

00:14:08.820 --> 00:14:09.300
 the true

00:14:09.300 --> 00:14:09.840
 worshippers

00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:10.460
 will worship

00:14:10.460 --> 00:14:11.060
 the Father

00:14:11.060 --> 00:14:11.800
 in spirit

00:14:11.800 --> 00:14:12.860
 and truth.

00:14:14.760 --> 00:14:15.480
 Then in

00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:16.160
 chapter 7,

00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:17.620
 after all his

00:14:17.620 --> 00:14:18.300
 signs of

00:14:18.300 --> 00:14:19.060
 healing the

00:14:19.060 --> 00:14:19.820
 centurion's

00:14:19.820 --> 00:14:20.080
 son,

00:14:20.420 --> 00:14:20.960
 feeding the

00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:21.580
 5,000,

00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:22.440
 walking on

00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:22.760
 water,

00:14:23.580 --> 00:14:24.180
 he's teaching

00:14:24.180 --> 00:14:24.700
 in the temple

00:14:24.700 --> 00:14:25.100
 saying,

00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:25.620
 the Father

00:14:25.620 --> 00:14:26.180
 has sent

00:14:26.180 --> 00:14:26.379
 me.

00:14:27.780 --> 00:14:28.600
 The signs

00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:29.380
 clearly show

00:14:29.380 --> 00:14:29.580
 it.

00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:31.400
 And the

00:14:31.400 --> 00:14:32.180
 authorities try

00:14:32.179 --> 00:14:32.759
 to arrest

00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:33.299
 him.

00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:34.419
 And we're

00:14:34.419 --> 00:14:35.099
 told no

00:14:35.099 --> 00:14:35.779
 one laid

00:14:35.779 --> 00:14:36.259
 a hand on

00:14:36.259 --> 00:14:36.699
 him because

00:14:36.699 --> 00:14:37.439
 his hour

00:14:37.439 --> 00:14:39.319
 has not

00:14:39.319 --> 00:14:40.419
 yet come.

00:14:45.819 --> 00:14:46.919
 The hour

00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:47.599
 has come

00:14:47.599 --> 00:14:49.039
 for Jesus

00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:49.419
 to be

00:14:49.419 --> 00:14:50.059
 glorified.

00:14:50.339 --> 00:14:50.839
 What's the

00:14:50.839 --> 00:14:51.099
 trigger?

00:14:52.079 --> 00:14:52.759
 It's the

00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:54.439
 world being

00:14:54.439 --> 00:14:55.379
 drawn to

00:14:55.379 --> 00:14:55.699
 Jesus.

00:14:56.899 --> 00:14:57.740
 The Pharisee's

00:14:57.740 --> 00:14:58.479
 complaint the

00:14:58.479 --> 00:14:58.919
 world was

00:14:58.919 --> 00:14:59.479
 going after

00:14:59.479 --> 00:15:00.419
 him was way

00:15:00.419 --> 00:15:01.139
 more true

00:15:01.139 --> 00:15:02.720
 than they

00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:03.559
 even realised.

00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:05.659
 The main

00:15:05.659 --> 00:15:07.360
 purpose for

00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:08.039
 which Jesus

00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:08.819
 was sent by

00:15:08.819 --> 00:15:09.259
 the Father

00:15:09.259 --> 00:15:09.679
 into the

00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:10.399
 world has

00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:11.539
 arrived.

00:15:16.100 --> 00:15:17.220
 But how

00:15:17.220 --> 00:15:18.019
 can Jesus

00:15:18.019 --> 00:15:19.340
 draw people

00:15:19.340 --> 00:15:21.000
 who have

00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:21.799
 nothing to

00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:22.199
 do with

00:15:22.199 --> 00:15:22.899
 God's law,

00:15:24.179 --> 00:15:24.759
 who have

00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:25.759
 no original

00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:28.259
 share in

00:15:28.259 --> 00:15:29.000
 the Passover,

00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:29.179
 Passover?

00:15:29.700 --> 00:15:30.259
 How can

00:15:30.259 --> 00:15:31.159
 Jesus draw

00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:32.200
 people like

00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:33.519
 this to

00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:34.159
 worship God?

00:15:36.740 --> 00:15:37.559
 How would

00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:38.080
 Jesus be

00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:38.779
 lifted up as

00:15:38.779 --> 00:15:39.080
 king?

00:15:43.460 --> 00:15:44.220
 For a

00:15:44.220 --> 00:15:44.980
 Jewish person,

00:15:45.379 --> 00:15:45.759
 they might

00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:46.259
 think back to

00:15:46.259 --> 00:15:47.059
 the time of

00:15:47.059 --> 00:15:47.480
 Solomon,

00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:49.480
 where the

00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:50.039
 Queen of

00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:50.919
 Sheba comes

00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:52.000
 and sees

00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:52.740
 Solomon and

00:15:52.740 --> 00:15:53.460
 sees the

00:15:53.460 --> 00:15:54.340
 golden temple,

00:15:54.620 --> 00:15:55.259
 sees his

00:15:55.259 --> 00:15:55.840
 armies,

00:15:56.620 --> 00:15:57.100
 sees the

00:15:57.100 --> 00:15:58.179
 organisation of

00:15:58.179 --> 00:15:58.739
 his kingdom,

00:15:59.659 --> 00:16:00.479
 sees and

00:16:00.479 --> 00:16:01.239
 hears his

00:16:01.239 --> 00:16:02.259
 wise teaching.

00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:03.839
 And the

00:16:03.839 --> 00:16:04.239
 Queen of

00:16:04.239 --> 00:16:04.739
 Sheba was

00:16:04.739 --> 00:16:05.339
 speechless.

00:16:06.500 --> 00:16:06.799
 She was

00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:07.620
 amazed by

00:16:07.620 --> 00:16:07.839
 it.

00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:09.679
 Is this

00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:10.000
 what it's

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:10.219
 going to

00:16:10.219 --> 00:16:10.620
 look like

00:16:10.620 --> 00:16:11.099
 for Jesus

00:16:11.099 --> 00:16:11.579
 to be

00:16:11.579 --> 00:16:12.099
 king of

00:16:12.099 --> 00:16:12.539
 the world?

00:16:14.259 --> 00:16:14.899
 It's not

00:16:14.899 --> 00:16:15.319
 what Jesus

00:16:15.319 --> 00:16:15.739
 has in

00:16:15.739 --> 00:16:16.039
 mind.

00:16:16.259 --> 00:16:16.779
 It's not

00:16:16.779 --> 00:16:17.199
 God's

00:16:17.199 --> 00:16:17.479
 plan.

00:16:18.059 --> 00:16:18.279
 We're

00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:18.419
 going to

00:16:18.419 --> 00:16:18.679
 look at

00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:19.319
 four aspects

00:16:19.319 --> 00:16:19.699
 of what

00:16:19.699 --> 00:16:20.139
 it means

00:16:20.139 --> 00:16:20.739
 for Jesus

00:16:20.739 --> 00:16:21.739
 to be

00:16:21.739 --> 00:16:22.339
 glorified.

00:16:22.340 --> 00:16:24.660
 God's

00:16:24.660 --> 00:16:25.120
 love.

00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:25.379
 The first one is

00:16:25.379 --> 00:16:26.300
 in verse 24.

00:16:30.060 --> 00:16:30.700
 Truly,

00:16:30.980 --> 00:16:31.360
 truly,

00:16:31.540 --> 00:16:32.200
 I say to

00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:32.399
 you,

00:16:32.500 --> 00:16:33.019
 unless a

00:16:33.019 --> 00:16:33.560
 grain of

00:16:33.560 --> 00:16:34.420
 wheat falls

00:16:34.420 --> 00:16:34.960
 into the

00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:35.580
 earth and

00:16:35.580 --> 00:16:36.100
 dies,

00:16:36.860 --> 00:16:38.220
 it remains

00:16:38.220 --> 00:16:38.600
 alone.

00:16:40.220 --> 00:16:41.160
 But if it

00:16:41.160 --> 00:16:41.680
 dies,

00:16:43.160 --> 00:16:43.800
 it bears

00:16:43.800 --> 00:16:44.660
 much fruit.

00:16:44.659 --> 00:16:52.360
 if you've

00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:52.860
 been to

00:16:52.860 --> 00:16:53.439
 the burial

00:16:53.439 --> 00:16:54.419
 of a

00:16:54.419 --> 00:16:54.759
 person

00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:55.159
 before,

00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:59.179
 have you

00:16:59.179 --> 00:16:59.699
 gone back

00:16:59.699 --> 00:17:00.019
 to the

00:17:00.019 --> 00:17:00.379
 cemetery

00:17:00.379 --> 00:17:01.980
 to see

00:17:01.980 --> 00:17:02.399
 what has

00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:03.939
 grown out

00:17:03.939 --> 00:17:04.240
 of what

00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:04.559
 has been

00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:04.940
 planted?

00:17:11.740 --> 00:17:12.359
 It's an

00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:12.960
 awful thing,

00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:13.399
 death.

00:17:14.660 --> 00:17:17.820
 when you

00:17:17.820 --> 00:17:18.360
 plant a

00:17:18.360 --> 00:17:18.840
 seed,

00:17:19.019 --> 00:17:19.380
 it's an

00:17:19.380 --> 00:17:19.779
 exciting

00:17:19.779 --> 00:17:20.140
 thing.

00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:20.920
 You see

00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:21.540
 the sprout

00:17:21.540 --> 00:17:22.000
 and then

00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:22.460
 it fully

00:17:22.460 --> 00:17:23.060
 develops.

00:17:25.100 --> 00:17:25.640
 But Jesus

00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:26.820
 isn't talking

00:17:26.820 --> 00:17:27.620
 about botany,

00:17:27.779 --> 00:17:28.300
 he's talking

00:17:28.300 --> 00:17:28.759
 about a

00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:29.620
 human body

00:17:29.620 --> 00:17:31.500
 being

00:17:31.500 --> 00:17:31.980
 planted

00:17:31.980 --> 00:17:34.440
 and producing

00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:34.980
 life.

00:17:37.620 --> 00:17:38.259
 Something

00:17:38.259 --> 00:17:38.980
 very

00:17:38.980 --> 00:17:39.640
 unique

00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:41.180
 is happening,

00:17:41.360 --> 00:17:41.800
 is going

00:17:41.800 --> 00:17:42.279
 to happen.

00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:44.540
 It's

00:17:44.539 --> 00:17:44.879
 unique

00:17:44.879 --> 00:17:45.220
 because

00:17:45.220 --> 00:17:45.720
 Jesus

00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:47.000
 himself

00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:48.000
 is

00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:48.420
 unique.

00:17:48.879 --> 00:17:49.220
 He is

00:17:49.220 --> 00:17:49.659
 the one

00:17:49.659 --> 00:17:50.119
 seed,

00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:52.639
 God's

00:17:52.639 --> 00:17:52.920
 one

00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:53.220
 son.

00:17:57.659 --> 00:17:58.519
 I was

00:17:58.519 --> 00:17:58.899
 reflecting

00:17:58.899 --> 00:17:59.399
 this week

00:17:59.399 --> 00:18:00.740
 how my

00:18:00.740 --> 00:18:01.539
 dad was

00:18:01.539 --> 00:18:02.759
 saved

00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:04.079
 out of a

00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:04.539
 non-Christian

00:18:04.539 --> 00:18:05.059
 family

00:18:05.059 --> 00:18:07.539
 to know

00:18:07.539 --> 00:18:08.339
 and live

00:18:08.339 --> 00:18:08.839
 for God.

00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:10.839
 God's

00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:11.299
 and I

00:18:11.299 --> 00:18:11.379
 was

00:18:11.379 --> 00:18:11.579
 really

00:18:11.579 --> 00:18:11.859
 thankful

00:18:11.859 --> 00:18:12.279
 for that.

00:18:14.220 --> 00:18:14.500
 And

00:18:14.500 --> 00:18:14.740
 then

00:18:14.740 --> 00:18:15.539
 by God's

00:18:15.539 --> 00:18:15.959
 grace

00:18:15.959 --> 00:18:18.799
 and God's

00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:19.359
 generosity,

00:18:19.619 --> 00:18:20.139
 I and my

00:18:20.139 --> 00:18:20.579
 brothers

00:18:20.579 --> 00:18:21.539
 know God

00:18:21.539 --> 00:18:21.939
 as well.

00:18:21.940 --> 00:18:23.940
 God's

00:18:23.940 --> 00:18:24.940
 love.

00:18:24.940 --> 00:18:25.620
 God's

00:18:25.620 --> 00:18:25.940
 love.

00:18:25.940 --> 00:18:26.380
 God's

00:18:26.380 --> 00:18:26.860
 love.

00:18:26.860 --> 00:18:27.160
 My mum

00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:27.900
 loves doing

00:18:27.900 --> 00:18:29.019
 family tree

00:18:29.019 --> 00:18:29.440
 stuff.

00:18:30.740 --> 00:18:31.180
 She's

00:18:31.180 --> 00:18:31.580
 looked up

00:18:31.580 --> 00:18:32.039
 Lincoln and

00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:32.480
 Leah in

00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:32.860
 Myanmar

00:18:32.860 --> 00:18:33.620
 trying to

00:18:33.620 --> 00:18:34.180
 trace their

00:18:34.180 --> 00:18:34.779
 family tree.

00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:36.240
 She's

00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:36.660
 looked up

00:18:36.660 --> 00:18:37.120
 Emma's

00:18:37.120 --> 00:18:38.440
 great-great-something

00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:39.299
 grandfather who

00:18:39.299 --> 00:18:39.519
 was the

00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:40.180
 first missionary

00:18:40.180 --> 00:18:40.860
 to New

00:18:40.860 --> 00:18:41.180
 Zealand.

00:18:43.259 --> 00:18:44.080
 Bit of a

00:18:44.080 --> 00:18:44.580
 mixed bag

00:18:44.580 --> 00:18:44.820
 there.

00:18:44.819 --> 00:18:48.399
 could you

00:18:48.399 --> 00:18:49.159
 imagine the

00:18:49.159 --> 00:18:50.299
 spiritual tree

00:18:50.299 --> 00:18:50.759
 that has

00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:51.980
 sprouted all

00:18:51.980 --> 00:18:52.419
 over the

00:18:52.419 --> 00:18:54.559
 world from

00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:55.379
 that one

00:18:55.379 --> 00:18:56.399
 seed being

00:18:56.399 --> 00:18:58.639
 planted 2,000

00:18:58.639 --> 00:18:59.179
 years ago?

00:19:00.259 --> 00:19:01.720
 I'd love to

00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:02.759
 see it, to

00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:03.559
 map it

00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:03.819
 out.

00:19:11.159 --> 00:19:11.839
 Us

00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:12.339
 sitting here

00:19:12.339 --> 00:19:14.460
 today is

00:19:14.460 --> 00:19:15.039
 fruit of

00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:15.259
 that.

00:19:17.019 --> 00:19:17.539
 Jesus'

00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:18.480
 glorification

00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:19.400
 as king,

00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:20.620
 he did

00:19:20.620 --> 00:19:21.259
 not use

00:19:21.259 --> 00:19:21.819
 a sword.

00:19:24.100 --> 00:19:25.079
 He didn't

00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:25.720
 send out

00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:26.200
 an army.

00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:29.259
 He did

00:19:29.259 --> 00:19:29.840
 it by being

00:19:29.840 --> 00:19:30.700
 planted in

00:19:30.700 --> 00:19:31.160
 the earth.

00:19:34.840 --> 00:19:35.799
 Jesus is

00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:36.539
 saying the

00:19:36.539 --> 00:19:37.059
 better

00:19:37.059 --> 00:19:38.340
 Passover is

00:19:38.340 --> 00:19:39.279
 about to

00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:41.000
 happen when

00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:41.579
 the Lamb of

00:19:41.579 --> 00:19:42.319
 God takes

00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:44.079
 away the

00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:44.420
 sin of

00:19:44.420 --> 00:19:44.800
 the world.

00:19:47.980 --> 00:19:48.880
 But don't

00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:49.539
 think for a

00:19:49.539 --> 00:19:50.160
 moment that

00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:50.580
 this was

00:19:50.580 --> 00:19:51.740
 somehow easy

00:19:51.740 --> 00:19:52.539
 for Jesus

00:19:52.539 --> 00:19:53.019
 to do.

00:19:54.220 --> 00:19:55.320
 He had to

00:19:55.320 --> 00:19:56.519
 struggle to

00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:57.120
 hate his

00:19:57.120 --> 00:19:58.779
 life in

00:19:58.779 --> 00:19:59.220
 order to

00:19:59.220 --> 00:19:59.600
 make the

00:19:59.600 --> 00:20:00.180
 Father known

00:20:00.180 --> 00:20:00.420
 in the

00:20:00.420 --> 00:20:00.680
 world.

00:20:00.980 --> 00:20:01.640
 Verse 27,

00:20:01.940 --> 00:20:02.840
 now is my

00:20:02.840 --> 00:20:04.259
 soul troubled.

00:20:04.940 --> 00:20:05.680
 That word

00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:05.880
 there,

00:20:05.940 --> 00:20:06.360
 troubled,

00:20:06.580 --> 00:20:07.060
 it doesn't

00:20:07.060 --> 00:20:07.640
 quite get the

00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:08.500
 force across.

00:20:09.300 --> 00:20:09.920
 It's like his

00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:10.700
 insides are

00:20:10.700 --> 00:20:11.019
 full of

00:20:11.019 --> 00:20:11.779
 revulsion,

00:20:12.560 --> 00:20:13.160
 the horror,

00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:14.180
 the anxiety.

00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:18.560
 What shall I

00:20:18.560 --> 00:20:18.779
 say?

00:20:18.860 --> 00:20:19.660
 Father, save

00:20:19.660 --> 00:20:20.000
 me from

00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:20.460
 this hour,

00:20:20.700 --> 00:20:21.320
 but for

00:20:21.320 --> 00:20:22.080
 this purpose

00:20:22.080 --> 00:20:22.440
 I have

00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:23.100
 come to

00:20:23.100 --> 00:20:23.620
 this hour.

00:20:25.580 --> 00:20:26.580
 The horror

00:20:26.580 --> 00:20:27.480
 of dying to

00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:27.960
 this world

00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:28.540
 and the

00:20:28.540 --> 00:20:29.519
 desire to

00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:30.279
 serve his

00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:31.019
 father are

00:20:31.019 --> 00:20:31.519
 clashing.

00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:31.619
 sin.

00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:36.359
 He doesn't

00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:37.420
 just cave

00:20:37.420 --> 00:20:38.180
 in to what

00:20:38.180 --> 00:20:38.700
 his father

00:20:38.700 --> 00:20:39.460
 wants out

00:20:39.460 --> 00:20:40.039
 of resentment.

00:20:42.339 --> 00:20:43.259
 He doesn't

00:20:43.259 --> 00:20:44.139
 fight and

00:20:44.139 --> 00:20:44.839
 dig his heels

00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:45.420
 in for what

00:20:45.420 --> 00:20:46.000
 he's entitled

00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:46.299
 to.

00:20:48.639 --> 00:20:49.599
 He doesn't

00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:50.139
 want to

00:20:50.139 --> 00:20:52.139
 die, but

00:20:52.139 --> 00:20:52.579
 he wants

00:20:52.579 --> 00:20:53.480
 something even

00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:54.639
 more than

00:20:54.639 --> 00:20:55.180
 not going

00:20:55.180 --> 00:20:55.619
 through with

00:20:55.619 --> 00:20:55.779
 it.

00:20:55.779 --> 00:20:58.559
 father,

00:20:58.720 --> 00:20:59.460
 glorify

00:20:59.460 --> 00:21:00.299
 your name

00:21:00.299 --> 00:21:01.440
 is what

00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:01.819
 he asked

00:21:01.819 --> 00:21:02.099
 for.

00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:05.139
 Make

00:21:05.139 --> 00:21:05.599
 yourself

00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:06.200
 known to

00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:06.680
 the world

00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:07.160
 through what

00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:07.579
 I do.

00:21:07.980 --> 00:21:08.359
 Bring

00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:08.980
 people to

00:21:08.980 --> 00:21:09.440
 worship

00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:10.319
 who you

00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:10.940
 are because

00:21:10.940 --> 00:21:11.480
 you are

00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:12.019
 worth it.

00:21:12.019 --> 00:21:18.240
 could you

00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:18.779
 know the

00:21:18.779 --> 00:21:19.480
 father's love

00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:19.819
 for you

00:21:19.819 --> 00:21:20.440
 any more

00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:20.799
 than when

00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:21.240
 you look

00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:21.539
 at the

00:21:21.539 --> 00:21:22.180
 son on

00:21:22.180 --> 00:21:22.660
 the cross

00:21:22.660 --> 00:21:23.500
 dying so

00:21:23.500 --> 00:21:24.079
 that death

00:21:24.079 --> 00:21:24.720
 and judgment

00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:26.299
 pass over

00:21:26.299 --> 00:21:26.779
 you?

00:21:27.339 --> 00:21:27.960
 Could you

00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:28.599
 know God's

00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:29.180
 love any

00:21:29.180 --> 00:21:29.619
 more than

00:21:29.619 --> 00:21:29.960
 that?

00:21:31.779 --> 00:21:32.660
 The father

00:21:32.660 --> 00:21:33.440
 has made

00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:34.319
 known most

00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:35.019
 clearly who

00:21:35.019 --> 00:21:35.519
 he is

00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:37.420
 because Jesus

00:21:37.420 --> 00:21:38.139
 chose to

00:21:38.139 --> 00:21:38.639
 hate his

00:21:38.639 --> 00:21:39.160
 life in

00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:39.619
 this world.

00:21:42.019 --> 00:21:45.299
 Imagine

00:21:45.299 --> 00:21:46.079
 what a

00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:46.660
 difference

00:21:46.660 --> 00:21:48.119
 it would

00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:50.099
 make in

00:21:50.099 --> 00:21:50.279
 your

00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:50.900
 relationships,

00:21:51.619 --> 00:21:52.539
 in your

00:21:52.539 --> 00:21:53.200
 workplace,

00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:54.759
 in our

00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:55.480
 church family

00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:56.039
 if we

00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:56.639
 shared

00:21:56.639 --> 00:21:57.079
 Jesus'

00:21:57.339 --> 00:21:58.259
 all-consuming

00:21:58.259 --> 00:21:59.480
 desire.

00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:01.740
 Not

00:22:01.740 --> 00:22:02.400
 save us

00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:02.819
 we pray

00:22:02.819 --> 00:22:03.079
 but

00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:04.680
 father

00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:05.200
 glorify

00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:05.680
 your name.

00:22:08.019 --> 00:22:08.680
 What

00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:09.139
 difference

00:22:09.139 --> 00:22:09.500
 would that

00:22:09.500 --> 00:22:09.779
 make?

00:22:12.019 --> 00:22:19.980
 for

00:22:19.980 --> 00:22:20.319
 Jesus

00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:20.720
 then a

00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:21.079
 voice

00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:21.819
 came from

00:22:21.819 --> 00:22:22.039
 heaven

00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:22.680
 I have

00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:23.319
 glorified

00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:24.420
 it and

00:22:24.420 --> 00:22:24.940
 I will

00:22:24.940 --> 00:22:25.720
 glorify it

00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:26.059
 again.

00:22:28.700 --> 00:22:29.319
 John's

00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:29.819
 gospel was

00:22:29.819 --> 00:22:30.400
 full of

00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:30.700
 people

00:22:30.700 --> 00:22:31.480
 testifying

00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:31.920
 and bearing

00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:32.680
 witness to

00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:33.619
 Jesus and

00:22:33.619 --> 00:22:33.960
 now we

00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:34.259
 have the

00:22:34.259 --> 00:22:34.700
 father

00:22:34.700 --> 00:22:35.660
 directly and

00:22:35.660 --> 00:22:36.200
 audibly

00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:36.900
 bearing

00:22:36.900 --> 00:22:37.519
 witness that

00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:38.359
 his son is

00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:38.900
 saying and

00:22:38.900 --> 00:22:39.119
 doing

00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:39.859
 everything

00:22:39.859 --> 00:22:42.079
 in service

00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:42.519
 of the

00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:42.839
 father.

00:22:44.139 --> 00:22:45.099
 This hour

00:22:45.099 --> 00:22:45.779
 of lifting

00:22:45.779 --> 00:22:46.139
 up the

00:22:46.139 --> 00:22:46.559
 son to

00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:47.139
 rule over

00:22:47.139 --> 00:22:47.619
 the world

00:22:47.619 --> 00:22:48.539
 first by

00:22:48.539 --> 00:22:49.339
 dying for

00:22:49.339 --> 00:22:49.679
 the sins

00:22:49.679 --> 00:22:49.899
 of the

00:22:49.899 --> 00:22:50.119
 world

00:22:50.119 --> 00:22:51.019
 this is

00:22:51.019 --> 00:22:51.259
 the

00:22:51.259 --> 00:22:51.679
 father's

00:22:51.679 --> 00:22:52.039
 plan.

00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:53.299
 It is

00:22:53.299 --> 00:22:53.500
 the

00:22:53.500 --> 00:22:54.119
 decisive

00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:54.740
 moment

00:22:54.740 --> 00:22:55.740
 for all

00:22:55.740 --> 00:22:56.119
 people

00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:56.619
 forever.

00:22:56.619 --> 00:23:00.799
 hearing this

00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:02.039
 voice the

00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:02.759
 people then

00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:03.479
 and us

00:23:03.479 --> 00:23:04.179
 now should

00:23:04.179 --> 00:23:05.099
 listen very

00:23:05.099 --> 00:23:05.799
 carefully to

00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:06.239
 what Jesus

00:23:06.239 --> 00:23:07.159
 says next.

00:23:08.619 --> 00:23:09.579
 In verse

00:23:09.579 --> 00:23:10.239
 31 and

00:23:10.239 --> 00:23:11.259
 32 he

00:23:11.259 --> 00:23:12.699
 interprets the

00:23:12.699 --> 00:23:13.879
 significance of

00:23:13.879 --> 00:23:14.599
 the hour of

00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:15.199
 his death

00:23:15.199 --> 00:23:16.699
 burial and

00:23:16.699 --> 00:23:17.379
 ascension to

00:23:17.379 --> 00:23:17.839
 the throne.

00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:21.179
 he uses a

00:23:21.179 --> 00:23:21.759
 theologically

00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:22.659
 loaded word

00:23:22.659 --> 00:23:23.279
 now.

00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:26.720
 Everything is

00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:27.220
 about to

00:23:27.220 --> 00:23:27.720
 change.

00:23:28.919 --> 00:23:29.859
 A shift is

00:23:29.859 --> 00:23:30.240
 about to

00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:30.859
 take place.

00:23:31.319 --> 00:23:32.639
 Now is

00:23:32.639 --> 00:23:33.240
 the judgment

00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:33.759
 of this

00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:34.079
 world.

00:23:34.539 --> 00:23:35.720
 Now will

00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:36.500
 the rule of

00:23:36.500 --> 00:23:37.099
 this world be

00:23:37.099 --> 00:23:37.740
 cast out.

00:23:40.740 --> 00:23:41.599
 When John

00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:42.220
 talks about

00:23:42.220 --> 00:23:43.179
 this world

00:23:43.179 --> 00:23:44.000
 he has in

00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:44.799
 mind all of

00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:45.740
 human society

00:23:45.740 --> 00:23:46.639
 that lives in

00:23:46.639 --> 00:23:47.299
 rebellion

00:23:47.299 --> 00:23:49.180
 of its

00:23:49.180 --> 00:23:49.599
 creator.

00:23:49.859 --> 00:23:50.220
 Not

00:23:50.220 --> 00:23:51.000
 thanking him.

00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:51.539
 Not

00:23:51.539 --> 00:23:52.319
 listening to

00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:52.579
 him.

00:23:52.859 --> 00:23:53.180
 Not

00:23:53.180 --> 00:23:53.919
 obeying him.

00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:54.200
 Not

00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:54.980
 living for

00:23:54.980 --> 00:23:55.399
 him.

00:23:57.879 --> 00:23:58.559
 That's

00:23:58.559 --> 00:23:58.759
 what

00:23:58.759 --> 00:23:59.619
 characterises

00:23:59.619 --> 00:24:00.899
 the world.

00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:04.519
 And when

00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:05.379
 this world

00:24:05.379 --> 00:24:07.339
 casts

00:24:07.339 --> 00:24:08.119
 judgment on

00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:08.659
 the son of

00:24:08.659 --> 00:24:09.359
 God thinking

00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:10.200
 he deserves

00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:10.879
 to die

00:24:10.879 --> 00:24:13.259
 it shows

00:24:13.259 --> 00:24:14.240
 the depths

00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:14.740
 of the

00:24:14.740 --> 00:24:15.139
 world's

00:24:15.139 --> 00:24:15.819
 stubbornness

00:24:15.819 --> 00:24:17.139
 not to

00:24:17.140 --> 00:24:17.440
 come to

00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:17.740
 God.

00:24:18.540 --> 00:24:19.400
 It shows

00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:20.160
 the depths

00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:22.060
 of the

00:24:22.060 --> 00:24:22.560
 world's

00:24:22.560 --> 00:24:23.080
 rejection

00:24:23.080 --> 00:24:23.800
 of God.

00:24:26.800 --> 00:24:27.700
 And the

00:24:27.700 --> 00:24:28.640
 cross also

00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:29.060
 is a

00:24:29.060 --> 00:24:29.780
 foretaste

00:24:29.780 --> 00:24:31.660
 of what

00:24:31.660 --> 00:24:32.380
 anyone who

00:24:32.380 --> 00:24:33.660
 treats God

00:24:33.660 --> 00:24:34.400
 that way

00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:35.460
 will one

00:24:35.460 --> 00:24:35.820
 day

00:24:35.820 --> 00:24:37.080
 experience.

00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:41.680
 Now is

00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:42.220
 the judgment

00:24:42.220 --> 00:24:42.620
 of the

00:24:42.620 --> 00:24:42.960
 world.

00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:43.640
 God's

00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:46.460
 God's

00:24:46.460 --> 00:24:47.299
 God's

00:24:47.299 --> 00:24:47.920
 judgment

00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:49.380
 of the

00:24:49.380 --> 00:24:49.660
 world.

00:24:51.380 --> 00:24:52.039
 This is

00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:52.720
 the time

00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:54.700
 for the

00:24:54.700 --> 00:24:55.240
 Passover

00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:55.860
 lamb

00:24:55.860 --> 00:24:57.759
 that Jesus

00:24:57.759 --> 00:24:58.420
 is going to

00:24:58.420 --> 00:24:58.860
 bear the

00:24:58.860 --> 00:24:59.360
 judgment

00:24:59.360 --> 00:25:00.920
 for his

00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:01.319
 people.

00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:07.759
 and the

00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:08.279
 ruler of

00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:08.720
 this world

00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:08.960
 will be

00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:09.179
 driven

00:25:09.179 --> 00:25:09.500
 out.

00:25:13.500 --> 00:25:14.000
 You

00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:14.480
 might think

00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:14.939
 in putting

00:25:14.939 --> 00:25:15.579
 to death

00:25:15.579 --> 00:25:16.220
 the heir

00:25:16.220 --> 00:25:16.599
 to the

00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:16.960
 throne

00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:17.460
 it might

00:25:17.460 --> 00:25:17.599
 have

00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:17.799
 seen

00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:18.019
 that

00:25:18.019 --> 00:25:18.399
 Satan

00:25:18.399 --> 00:25:18.740
 had

00:25:18.740 --> 00:25:19.079
 won.

00:25:21.259 --> 00:25:21.939
 But as

00:25:21.939 --> 00:25:22.299
 Jesus'

00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:22.720
 blood

00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:23.359
 cleanses

00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:23.859
 us from

00:25:23.859 --> 00:25:24.299
 all our

00:25:24.299 --> 00:25:24.939
 wrongs

00:25:24.939 --> 00:25:25.819
 Satan

00:25:25.819 --> 00:25:26.639
 has lost

00:25:26.639 --> 00:25:27.299
 his power

00:25:27.299 --> 00:25:28.319
 to accuse

00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:28.700
 God's

00:25:28.700 --> 00:25:28.960
 people

00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:29.419
 anymore.

00:25:34.659 --> 00:25:35.240
 Being

00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:36.059
 raised up

00:25:36.059 --> 00:25:36.700
 as king

00:25:36.700 --> 00:25:37.339
 over heaven

00:25:37.339 --> 00:25:37.779
 and earth

00:25:37.779 --> 00:25:39.019
 Satan

00:25:39.019 --> 00:25:39.679
 has lost

00:25:39.679 --> 00:25:39.919
 his

00:25:39.919 --> 00:25:40.359
 authority.

00:25:42.379 --> 00:25:42.599
 Those

00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:42.839
 who are

00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:43.639
 set free

00:25:43.639 --> 00:25:45.259
 are free

00:25:45.259 --> 00:25:46.159
 to serve

00:25:46.159 --> 00:25:46.639
 Christ.

00:25:48.639 --> 00:25:49.379
 And who

00:25:49.379 --> 00:25:49.720
 is this

00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:50.019
 for?

00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:50.700
 Who is

00:25:50.700 --> 00:25:51.299
 Jesus going

00:25:51.299 --> 00:25:51.960
 to save

00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:52.379
 and bring

00:25:52.379 --> 00:25:52.819
 under his

00:25:52.819 --> 00:25:53.119
 rule?

00:25:54.779 --> 00:25:55.539
 Like the

00:25:55.539 --> 00:25:56.279
 seed buried

00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:56.579
 in the

00:25:56.579 --> 00:25:57.000
 earth to

00:25:57.000 --> 00:25:57.339
 produce

00:25:57.339 --> 00:25:57.700
 many

00:25:57.700 --> 00:25:58.779
 now

00:25:58.779 --> 00:25:59.120
 Jesus

00:25:59.120 --> 00:25:59.519
 uses

00:25:59.519 --> 00:25:59.900
 a new

00:25:59.900 --> 00:26:00.279
 image.

00:26:00.840 --> 00:26:01.059
 The

00:26:01.059 --> 00:26:01.279
 image

00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:01.600
 of being

00:26:01.600 --> 00:26:01.980
 lifted

00:26:01.980 --> 00:26:02.279
 up.

00:26:05.180 --> 00:26:05.700
 John

00:26:05.700 --> 00:26:06.180
 here is

00:26:06.180 --> 00:26:06.660
 likely

00:26:06.660 --> 00:26:07.120
 picking up

00:26:07.120 --> 00:26:07.680
 the picture

00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:08.039
 in the

00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:08.640
 Old Testament

00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:09.160
 when the

00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:09.660
 snake

00:26:09.660 --> 00:26:10.840
 is lifted

00:26:10.840 --> 00:26:11.279
 up on

00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:11.840
 a pole

00:26:11.840 --> 00:26:12.640
 in the

00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:13.039
 wilderness

00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:14.580
 and any

00:26:14.580 --> 00:26:14.960
 one of

00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:15.259
 God's

00:26:15.259 --> 00:26:15.720
 people who

00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:16.440
 deserved

00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:17.259
 punishment,

00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:18.240
 anyone who

00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:19.759
 looked at

00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:20.360
 that snake

00:26:20.360 --> 00:26:20.940
 being lifted

00:26:20.940 --> 00:26:21.640
 up would

00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:22.420
 be instantly

00:26:22.420 --> 00:26:23.299
 healed and

00:26:23.299 --> 00:26:23.620
 forgiven.

00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:25.759
 Jesus

00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:26.140
 will be

00:26:26.140 --> 00:26:26.920
 lifted up

00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:27.920
 in his

00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:29.500
 death and

00:26:29.500 --> 00:26:29.680
 his

00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:30.360
 ascension

00:26:30.360 --> 00:26:31.500
 to the

00:26:31.500 --> 00:26:32.039
 throne in

00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:32.920
 heaven and

00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:33.820
 anyone who

00:26:33.820 --> 00:26:34.360
 looks to

00:26:34.360 --> 00:26:35.400
 him will

00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:35.980
 be saved.

00:26:38.080 --> 00:26:38.820
 And what's

00:26:38.820 --> 00:26:39.240
 the result

00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:39.620
 going to be?

00:26:39.700 --> 00:26:40.360
 The result is

00:26:40.360 --> 00:26:40.840
 the whole

00:26:40.840 --> 00:26:41.539
 world will be

00:26:41.539 --> 00:26:42.160
 drawn to

00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:42.420
 him.

00:26:47.560 --> 00:26:48.080
 Everyone

00:26:48.080 --> 00:26:48.460
 without

00:26:48.460 --> 00:26:49.019
 distinction,

00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:50.300
 whoever looks

00:26:50.300 --> 00:26:50.740
 to him.

00:26:53.340 --> 00:26:53.880
 Remember

00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:54.440
 what triggered

00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:54.900
 all this?

00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:55.640
 The Greeks

00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:56.500
 wanting to

00:26:56.500 --> 00:26:57.000
 see him.

00:26:57.380 --> 00:26:58.200
 This is

00:26:58.200 --> 00:26:58.920
 the profound

00:26:58.920 --> 00:27:00.240
 answer to

00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:00.940
 their desire

00:27:00.940 --> 00:27:01.380
 to see

00:27:01.380 --> 00:27:01.620
 him.

00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:03.680
 After

00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:04.080
 Jesus

00:27:04.080 --> 00:27:04.720
 completes

00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:05.480
 the hour,

00:27:05.980 --> 00:27:06.260
 Jesus

00:27:06.260 --> 00:27:06.740
 calls

00:27:06.740 --> 00:27:07.320
 everyone

00:27:07.320 --> 00:27:08.060
 everywhere.

00:27:08.900 --> 00:27:09.180
 In

00:27:09.180 --> 00:27:09.520
 me,

00:27:09.680 --> 00:27:10.120
 you can

00:27:10.120 --> 00:27:10.780
 approach

00:27:10.780 --> 00:27:11.340
 God,

00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:11.760
 you can

00:27:11.760 --> 00:27:12.760
 know God's

00:27:12.760 --> 00:27:13.320
 love for

00:27:13.320 --> 00:27:13.600
 you.

00:27:13.840 --> 00:27:14.140
 In

00:27:14.140 --> 00:27:14.480
 me,

00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:15.240
 come.

00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:15.300
 Come.

00:27:15.300 --> 00:27:15.360
 Come.

00:27:15.360 --> 00:27:15.380
 Come.

00:27:15.380 --> 00:27:15.420
 Come.

00:27:15.420 --> 00:27:15.440
 Come.

00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:15.460
 Come.

00:27:15.460 --> 00:27:15.480
 Come.

00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:17.380
 Come.

00:27:17.380 --> 00:27:17.420
 Come.

00:27:17.420 --> 00:27:19.380
 Come.

00:27:19.380 --> 00:27:19.400
 Come.

00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:19.420
 Come.

00:27:19.420 --> 00:27:19.500
 Come.

00:27:19.500 --> 00:27:19.520
 Come.

00:27:19.520 --> 00:27:20.420
 Come.

00:27:20.420 --> 00:27:21.420
 Come.

00:27:21.420 --> 00:27:21.440
 Come.

00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:21.500
 Come.

00:27:21.500 --> 00:27:21.980
 Come.

00:27:21.980 --> 00:27:23.860
 Come.

00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:26.340
 Imagine

00:27:26.340 --> 00:27:28.200
 if you

00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:28.760
 were one

00:27:28.760 --> 00:27:29.400
 of those

00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:31.140
 soccer

00:27:31.140 --> 00:27:32.080
 boys in

00:27:32.080 --> 00:27:32.460
 Thailand

00:27:32.460 --> 00:27:32.800
 that were

00:27:32.800 --> 00:27:33.320
 trapped a

00:27:33.320 --> 00:27:33.600
 couple of

00:27:33.600 --> 00:27:34.040
 years ago

00:27:34.040 --> 00:27:34.360
 in the

00:27:34.360 --> 00:27:34.960
 cave that

00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:35.460
 collapsed.

00:27:40.020 --> 00:27:40.620
 Living

00:27:40.620 --> 00:27:40.960
 in

00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:41.600
 darkness,

00:27:44.300 --> 00:27:44.900
 trapped

00:27:44.900 --> 00:27:49.500
 after 18

00:27:49.500 --> 00:27:50.800
 days of

00:27:50.800 --> 00:27:51.200
 being in

00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:51.320
 the

00:27:51.320 --> 00:27:51.880
 darkness,

00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:52.880
 darkness,

00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:54.720
 any hope

00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:55.380
 of your

00:27:55.380 --> 00:27:56.100
 life being

00:27:56.100 --> 00:27:57.340
 saved is

00:27:57.340 --> 00:27:58.420
 just fading

00:27:58.420 --> 00:27:59.420
 away every

00:27:59.420 --> 00:27:59.940
 hour.

00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:05.480
 The

00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:06.160
 moment that

00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:06.820
 you saw

00:28:06.820 --> 00:28:07.480
 light,

00:28:08.660 --> 00:28:10.640
 when the

00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:11.260
 rescuers

00:28:11.260 --> 00:28:11.740
 made an

00:28:11.740 --> 00:28:12.160
 opening,

00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:13.660
 how would

00:28:13.660 --> 00:28:14.180
 you feel?

00:28:17.460 --> 00:28:18.200
 Bored?

00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:21.460
 would you

00:28:21.460 --> 00:28:21.980
 be drawn

00:28:21.980 --> 00:28:22.400
 to it?

00:28:25.840 --> 00:28:26.539
 Jesus is

00:28:26.539 --> 00:28:27.080
 the light

00:28:27.080 --> 00:28:27.440
 of the

00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:27.860
 world,

00:28:28.860 --> 00:28:29.860
 and his

00:28:29.860 --> 00:28:30.600
 cross will

00:28:30.600 --> 00:28:31.319
 draw all

00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:32.019
 people from

00:28:32.019 --> 00:28:32.680
 all over

00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:33.160
 the world

00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:34.340
 into his

00:28:34.340 --> 00:28:34.819
 life.

00:28:35.140 --> 00:28:35.440
 It's

00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:35.779
 happening.

00:28:36.080 --> 00:28:36.360
 You and

00:28:36.360 --> 00:28:37.400
 I are the

00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:37.819
 fruit of

00:28:37.819 --> 00:28:37.960
 it.

00:28:38.620 --> 00:28:38.940
 He will

00:28:38.940 --> 00:28:39.720
 continue to

00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:40.180
 do it

00:28:40.180 --> 00:28:41.640
 until he

00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:42.120
 has saved

00:28:42.120 --> 00:28:43.140
 every one

00:28:43.140 --> 00:28:43.660
 of his

00:28:43.660 --> 00:28:43.980
 sheep.

00:28:43.980 --> 00:28:44.039
 He will

00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:44.539
 save every

00:28:44.539 --> 00:28:45.360
 one of

00:28:45.360 --> 00:28:45.940
 his sheep.

00:28:45.940 --> 00:28:52.440
 So we're

00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:52.840
 left with

00:28:52.840 --> 00:28:53.580
 two questions.

00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:54.360
 Is this

00:28:54.360 --> 00:28:54.860
 the kind

00:28:54.860 --> 00:28:55.259
 of king

00:28:55.259 --> 00:28:55.600
 you're

00:28:55.600 --> 00:28:55.799
 looking

00:28:55.799 --> 00:28:56.080
 for?

00:28:58.660 --> 00:28:59.180
 In

00:28:59.180 --> 00:28:59.440
 verses

00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:00.100
 34 to

00:29:00.100 --> 00:29:00.559
 36,

00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:01.380
 the crowds

00:29:01.380 --> 00:29:02.180
 fail to

00:29:02.180 --> 00:29:02.840
 hear the

00:29:02.840 --> 00:29:03.720
 affirmation of

00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:04.259
 the Father's

00:29:04.259 --> 00:29:04.740
 voice from

00:29:04.740 --> 00:29:04.960
 heaven.

00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:05.880
 They don't

00:29:05.880 --> 00:29:06.340
 listen to

00:29:06.340 --> 00:29:06.700
 Jesus.

00:29:07.740 --> 00:29:08.180
 Instead,

00:29:08.380 --> 00:29:09.120
 they enter

00:29:09.120 --> 00:29:09.519
 into a

00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:11.080
 debate with

00:29:11.080 --> 00:29:11.440
 Jesus.

00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:13.759
 We've

00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:14.279
 heard from

00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:14.680
 the law

00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:15.000
 that the

00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:15.759
 Christ remains

00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:16.059
 forever.

00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:16.580
 How can

00:29:16.580 --> 00:29:17.039
 you say

00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:17.380
 that the

00:29:17.380 --> 00:29:17.680
 Son of

00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:18.160
 Man must

00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:18.600
 be lifted

00:29:18.600 --> 00:29:18.920
 up?

00:29:21.080 --> 00:29:21.880
 It seems

00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:23.180
 like a

00:29:23.180 --> 00:29:23.500
 legitimate

00:29:23.500 --> 00:29:23.980
 question.

00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:24.539
 Isn't

00:29:24.539 --> 00:29:25.140
 the Christ

00:29:25.140 --> 00:29:25.799
 meant to

00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:26.120
 remain

00:29:26.120 --> 00:29:26.480
 forever?

00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:26.980
 How can

00:29:26.980 --> 00:29:27.460
 he die?

00:29:29.740 --> 00:29:30.180
 They're

00:29:30.180 --> 00:29:30.940
 okay with

00:29:30.940 --> 00:29:31.680
 Jesus calling

00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:32.559
 himself king.

00:29:32.779 --> 00:29:33.539
 They love

00:29:33.539 --> 00:29:34.320
 that label.

00:29:34.580 --> 00:29:34.920
 They're just

00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:36.200
 not a huge

00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:36.720
 fan of the

00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:37.200
 content.

00:29:39.759 --> 00:29:40.799
 What type

00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:41.339
 of king

00:29:41.339 --> 00:29:41.879
 are you

00:29:41.879 --> 00:29:42.579
 claiming to

00:29:42.579 --> 00:29:42.819
 be,

00:29:42.940 --> 00:29:43.159
 Jesus?

00:29:46.940 --> 00:29:47.460
 They

00:29:47.460 --> 00:29:48.099
 justify

00:29:48.099 --> 00:29:48.799
 themselves

00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:49.240
 thinking

00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:49.559
 they're

00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:50.079
 interpreting

00:29:50.079 --> 00:29:50.480
 the Old

00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:50.879
 Testament

00:29:50.879 --> 00:29:51.319
 right,

00:29:51.659 --> 00:29:52.000
 but they're

00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:52.740
 not listening

00:29:52.740 --> 00:29:53.259
 to the

00:29:53.259 --> 00:29:53.720
 Father's

00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:54.059
 voice.

00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:54.500
 They're

00:29:54.500 --> 00:29:54.819
 not

00:29:54.819 --> 00:29:55.220
 listening

00:29:55.220 --> 00:29:55.460
 to

00:29:55.460 --> 00:29:55.779
 Jesus'

00:29:55.980 --> 00:29:56.339
 voice.

00:29:59.019 --> 00:29:59.740
 For us

00:29:59.740 --> 00:30:00.000
 today,

00:30:00.099 --> 00:30:00.299
 we've got

00:30:00.299 --> 00:30:00.680
 to ask,

00:30:00.779 --> 00:30:01.139
 are we

00:30:01.139 --> 00:30:01.460
 actually

00:30:01.460 --> 00:30:01.839
 listening

00:30:01.839 --> 00:30:02.639
 to John's

00:30:02.639 --> 00:30:03.059
 voice,

00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:04.639
 God's

00:30:04.639 --> 00:30:05.039
 word?

00:30:06.819 --> 00:30:07.339
 They

00:30:07.339 --> 00:30:07.879
 want a

00:30:07.879 --> 00:30:08.700
 triumphant

00:30:08.700 --> 00:30:09.399
 Christ,

00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:10.019
 not a

00:30:10.019 --> 00:30:10.659
 Christ that

00:30:10.660 --> 00:30:11.340
 dies.

00:30:13.700 --> 00:30:14.060
 They're

00:30:14.060 --> 00:30:14.500
 Jews.

00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:15.400
 They probably

00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:15.940
 have a

00:30:15.940 --> 00:30:16.300
 sense of

00:30:16.300 --> 00:30:17.060
 entitlement

00:30:17.060 --> 00:30:18.180
 to be

00:30:18.180 --> 00:30:18.580
 part of

00:30:18.580 --> 00:30:18.980
 the kingdom,

00:30:19.320 --> 00:30:20.100
 to receive

00:30:20.100 --> 00:30:20.759
 the blessings

00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:21.900
 of their

00:30:21.900 --> 00:30:22.440
 idea of

00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:22.820
 the kingdom.

00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:24.380
 They do

00:30:24.380 --> 00:30:24.880
 not like

00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:25.560
 the pattern

00:30:25.560 --> 00:30:26.180
 of a

00:30:26.180 --> 00:30:26.680
 crucified

00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:27.460
 Christ who

00:30:27.460 --> 00:30:27.720
 says,

00:30:28.080 --> 00:30:28.580
 follow me.

00:30:28.579 --> 00:30:30.139
 God's

00:30:30.139 --> 00:30:30.579
 God's

00:30:30.579 --> 00:30:32.220
 God's

00:30:32.220 --> 00:30:32.480
 God's

00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:33.019
 God's

00:30:33.019 --> 00:30:34.220
 God's

00:30:34.220 --> 00:30:34.579
 God's

00:30:34.579 --> 00:30:34.980
 God's

00:30:34.980 --> 00:30:35.419
 love.

00:30:35.419 --> 00:30:36.399
 I think this

00:30:36.399 --> 00:30:37.159
 confronts us

00:30:37.159 --> 00:30:37.679
 when we think

00:30:37.679 --> 00:30:38.460
 about the part

00:30:38.460 --> 00:30:38.699
 of our

00:30:38.699 --> 00:30:39.299
 life that is

00:30:39.299 --> 00:30:40.220
 really hurting

00:30:40.220 --> 00:30:40.679
 us at the

00:30:40.679 --> 00:30:40.939
 moment.

00:30:41.299 --> 00:30:41.819
 What type

00:30:41.819 --> 00:30:42.379
 of Christ

00:30:42.379 --> 00:30:43.059
 do we want

00:30:43.059 --> 00:30:43.480
 at that

00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:43.819
 point?

00:30:45.220 --> 00:30:45.539
 A

00:30:45.539 --> 00:30:46.220
 Christ who

00:30:46.220 --> 00:30:46.519
 will give

00:30:46.519 --> 00:30:46.859
 us the

00:30:46.859 --> 00:30:47.279
 victory

00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:49.299
 and remove

00:30:49.299 --> 00:30:49.879
 our pain?

00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:52.000
 or a

00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:53.300
 Christ who

00:30:53.300 --> 00:30:53.720
 calls you

00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:54.260
 to follow

00:30:54.260 --> 00:30:55.140
 him in

00:30:55.140 --> 00:30:55.740
 his death,

00:30:56.300 --> 00:30:57.640
 to make

00:30:57.640 --> 00:30:58.400
 God known

00:30:58.400 --> 00:30:58.720
 to the

00:30:58.720 --> 00:30:59.040
 world?

00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:02.880
 Is this

00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:03.220
 the kind

00:31:03.220 --> 00:31:03.620
 of king

00:31:03.620 --> 00:31:03.900
 we're

00:31:03.900 --> 00:31:04.440
 looking for?

00:31:12.840 --> 00:31:13.420
 Jesus'

00:31:13.620 --> 00:31:14.100
 response,

00:31:14.380 --> 00:31:16.160
 walk while

00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:16.480
 you have

00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:16.940
 the light,

00:31:18.420 --> 00:31:19.340
 lest darkness

00:31:19.339 --> 00:31:20.259
 overtake you.

00:31:21.699 --> 00:31:22.159
 The one

00:31:22.159 --> 00:31:22.699
 who walks

00:31:22.699 --> 00:31:23.000
 in the

00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:23.359
 darkness

00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:24.039
 does not

00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:24.519
 know where

00:31:24.519 --> 00:31:24.799
 he is

00:31:24.799 --> 00:31:25.079
 going.

00:31:25.980 --> 00:31:26.439
 While you

00:31:26.439 --> 00:31:26.939
 have the

00:31:26.939 --> 00:31:27.220
 light,

00:31:27.379 --> 00:31:28.259
 believe in

00:31:28.259 --> 00:31:28.659
 the light

00:31:28.659 --> 00:31:30.179
 that you

00:31:30.179 --> 00:31:30.699
 may become

00:31:30.699 --> 00:31:31.539
 sons of

00:31:31.539 --> 00:31:31.859
 light.

00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:37.639
 We've got

00:31:37.639 --> 00:31:38.319
 a choice of

00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:39.000
 whether we

00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:40.019
 will listen

00:31:40.019 --> 00:31:40.539
 to Jesus

00:31:40.539 --> 00:31:41.159
 or not.

00:31:44.019 --> 00:31:44.740
 Will you

00:31:44.740 --> 00:31:45.419
 not listen

00:31:45.419 --> 00:31:45.899
 to Jesus

00:31:45.899 --> 00:31:46.619
 and be left

00:31:46.619 --> 00:31:47.259
 alone in

00:31:47.259 --> 00:31:47.819
 the dark

00:31:47.819 --> 00:31:48.619
 following the

00:31:48.619 --> 00:31:49.159
 ways of

00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:49.700
 this world

00:31:49.700 --> 00:31:50.259
 towards

00:31:50.259 --> 00:31:50.740
 judgment?

00:31:52.860 --> 00:31:53.440
 Or will

00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:54.380
 you trust

00:31:54.380 --> 00:31:55.880
 in the

00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:56.380
 brilliance

00:31:56.380 --> 00:31:56.720
 of his

00:31:56.720 --> 00:31:57.620
 light as

00:31:57.620 --> 00:31:58.160
 he lays

00:31:58.160 --> 00:31:58.580
 down his

00:31:58.580 --> 00:31:59.160
 life for

00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:01.980
 you and

00:32:01.980 --> 00:32:02.580
 become a

00:32:02.580 --> 00:32:02.920
 son of

00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:03.200
 light?

00:32:07.620 --> 00:32:08.220
 If you

00:32:08.220 --> 00:32:08.600
 think back

00:32:08.600 --> 00:32:08.980
 to how

00:32:08.980 --> 00:32:10.060
 you came

00:32:10.060 --> 00:32:10.420
 to know

00:32:10.420 --> 00:32:10.759
 God,

00:32:12.040 --> 00:32:12.380
 have a

00:32:12.380 --> 00:32:12.779
 think back

00:32:12.779 --> 00:32:13.300
 to who

00:32:13.300 --> 00:32:13.820
 it was

00:32:13.820 --> 00:32:14.240
 that God

00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:15.100
 used to

00:32:15.100 --> 00:32:15.460
 introduce

00:32:15.460 --> 00:32:15.920
 God to

00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:16.200
 you?

00:32:20.740 --> 00:32:21.240
 Did

00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:21.680
 they lay

00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:21.980
 down

00:32:21.980 --> 00:32:22.180
 their

00:32:22.180 --> 00:32:22.620
 life

00:32:22.620 --> 00:32:25.180
 in

00:32:25.180 --> 00:32:25.480
 some

00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:25.740
 way

00:32:25.740 --> 00:32:27.440
 for

00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:27.680
 your

00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:27.960
 sake?

00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:29.000
 Maybe

00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:29.279
 giving

00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:29.480
 their

00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:29.900
 time?

00:32:30.740 --> 00:32:30.960
 Maybe

00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:31.320
 you

00:32:31.320 --> 00:32:31.960
 notice in

00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:32.400
 them that

00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:33.420
 they

00:32:33.420 --> 00:32:33.960
 returned

00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:34.620
 evil with

00:32:34.620 --> 00:32:34.960
 love?

00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:35.019
 love?

00:32:41.019 --> 00:32:41.799
 This is

00:32:41.799 --> 00:32:42.360
 the pattern

00:32:42.360 --> 00:32:43.079
 that God

00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:44.400
 uses to

00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:44.860
 make his

00:32:44.860 --> 00:32:45.500
 name known.

00:32:51.700 --> 00:32:52.559
 If that's

00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:53.039
 the case,

00:32:54.059 --> 00:32:55.740
 I think

00:32:55.740 --> 00:32:56.420
 when things

00:32:56.420 --> 00:32:57.000
 are difficult

00:32:57.000 --> 00:32:58.360
 is actually

00:32:58.360 --> 00:32:58.900
 the best

00:32:58.900 --> 00:32:59.600
 opportunity

00:32:59.600 --> 00:33:00.840
 for us to

00:33:00.840 --> 00:33:01.400
 show that

00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:01.660
 we are

00:33:01.660 --> 00:33:01.940
 following

00:33:01.940 --> 00:33:02.440
 Christ.

00:33:04.320 --> 00:33:05.059
 So that

00:33:05.059 --> 00:33:05.720
 injustice

00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:06.299
 in the

00:33:06.299 --> 00:33:06.880
 workplace,

00:33:08.380 --> 00:33:08.980
 instead of

00:33:08.980 --> 00:33:09.539
 demanding

00:33:09.539 --> 00:33:10.019
 what you're

00:33:10.019 --> 00:33:10.799
 entitled to,

00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:12.279
 is an

00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:13.000
 opportunity

00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:14.140
 to pray

00:33:14.140 --> 00:33:14.640
 Father,

00:33:14.779 --> 00:33:15.259
 glorify

00:33:15.259 --> 00:33:15.580
 your

00:33:15.580 --> 00:33:15.920
 name.

00:33:21.220 --> 00:33:21.820
 The

00:33:21.820 --> 00:33:22.380
 agony

00:33:22.380 --> 00:33:23.180
 of being

00:33:23.180 --> 00:33:23.559
 in an

00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:24.019
 argument

00:33:24.019 --> 00:33:24.460
 with a

00:33:24.460 --> 00:33:24.960
 friend or

00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:25.480
 loved one,

00:33:25.600 --> 00:33:26.019
 it's an

00:33:26.019 --> 00:33:26.840
 opportunity

00:33:26.840 --> 00:33:28.620
 to pray

00:33:28.620 --> 00:33:29.160
 Father,

00:33:29.299 --> 00:33:29.759
 glorify

00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:30.100
 your

00:33:30.100 --> 00:33:30.460
 name.

00:33:31.940 --> 00:33:32.460
 the

00:33:32.460 --> 00:33:32.880
 pattern

00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:33.299
 of the

00:33:33.299 --> 00:33:33.759
 cross,

00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:36.100
 help me

00:33:36.100 --> 00:33:37.400
 lay down

00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:38.180
 my life

00:33:38.180 --> 00:33:39.080
 for this

00:33:39.080 --> 00:33:39.580
 person's

00:33:39.580 --> 00:33:39.759
 sake,

00:33:39.840 --> 00:33:40.340
 for your

00:33:40.340 --> 00:33:41.000
 name's

00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:41.279
 sake.

00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:43.519
 When it's

00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:43.740
 going to

00:33:43.740 --> 00:33:44.340
 cost you

00:33:44.340 --> 00:33:44.740
 to help

00:33:44.740 --> 00:33:45.200
 someone,

00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:47.980
 Father,

00:33:48.120 --> 00:33:48.680
 glorify

00:33:48.680 --> 00:33:48.960
 your

00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:49.259
 name.

00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:56.080
 Jesus

00:33:56.080 --> 00:33:56.620
 challenges

00:33:56.620 --> 00:33:57.779
 us with

00:33:57.779 --> 00:33:58.299
 the words

00:33:58.299 --> 00:33:58.840
 in 25

00:33:58.840 --> 00:33:59.620
 and 26,

00:33:59.740 --> 00:33:59.900
 whoever

00:33:59.900 --> 00:34:00.779
 loves his

00:34:00.779 --> 00:34:01.279
 life,

00:34:01.579 --> 00:34:01.839
 loses

00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:02.139
 it.

00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:04.079
 Whoever

00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:04.819
 hates his

00:34:04.819 --> 00:34:05.299
 life in

00:34:05.299 --> 00:34:05.759
 this world

00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:06.420
 will keep

00:34:06.420 --> 00:34:07.680
 it for

00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:08.079
 eternal

00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:08.559
 life.

00:34:11.079 --> 00:34:11.960
 If anyone

00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:12.980
 serves me,

00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:14.039
 he must

00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:15.199
 follow me

00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:16.699
 and where

00:34:16.699 --> 00:34:17.199
 I am,

00:34:17.300 --> 00:34:17.579
 there will

00:34:17.579 --> 00:34:18.159
 my servant

00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:18.699
 be also.

00:34:18.699 --> 00:34:19.980
 If anyone

00:34:19.980 --> 00:34:20.980
 serves me,

00:34:21.779 --> 00:34:22.699
 the Father

00:34:22.699 --> 00:34:23.380
 will

00:34:23.380 --> 00:34:24.480
 honour

00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:25.320
 him.

00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:29.539
 our king

00:34:29.539 --> 00:34:30.280
 has been

00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:30.960
 glorified

00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:31.460
 through his

00:34:31.460 --> 00:34:32.180
 death and

00:34:32.180 --> 00:34:32.660
 resurrection.

00:34:32.900 --> 00:34:33.380
 He is

00:34:33.380 --> 00:34:33.780
 king of

00:34:33.780 --> 00:34:34.160
 the world

00:34:34.160 --> 00:34:38.100
 and he

00:34:38.100 --> 00:34:38.760
 showed us

00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:39.140
 the way

00:34:39.140 --> 00:34:39.620
 to glory.

00:34:42.120 --> 00:34:43.059
 His way

00:34:43.059 --> 00:34:43.600
 has nothing

00:34:43.600 --> 00:34:44.019
 to do

00:34:44.019 --> 00:34:44.800
 with fighting

00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:46.400
 for what

00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:46.780
 you're

00:34:46.780 --> 00:34:47.220
 entitled

00:34:47.220 --> 00:34:47.559
 to,

00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:50.400
 but he

00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:50.940
 chose to

00:34:50.940 --> 00:34:51.559
 lay down

00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:51.739
 his

00:34:51.739 --> 00:34:52.219
 life

00:34:52.219 --> 00:34:53.779
 to give

00:34:53.779 --> 00:34:54.619
 life to

00:34:54.619 --> 00:34:54.940
 you,

00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:55.340
 to the

00:34:55.340 --> 00:34:55.739
 world,

00:34:56.299 --> 00:34:56.739
 to make

00:34:56.739 --> 00:34:56.880
 the

00:34:56.880 --> 00:34:57.259
 Father's

00:34:57.259 --> 00:34:57.460
 love

00:34:57.460 --> 00:34:57.779
 known.

00:35:00.500 --> 00:35:01.059
 When

00:35:01.059 --> 00:35:01.759
 people see

00:35:01.759 --> 00:35:02.059
 you,

00:35:03.619 --> 00:35:04.079
 do they

00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:04.599
 see just

00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:04.860
 another

00:35:04.860 --> 00:35:05.519
 person of

00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:06.039
 the world

00:35:06.039 --> 00:35:07.820
 fighting for

00:35:07.820 --> 00:35:08.639
 what is

00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:09.099
 rightfully

00:35:09.099 --> 00:35:09.519
 theirs?

00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:11.960
 Or do

00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:12.619
 they see

00:35:12.619 --> 00:35:13.400
 a child

00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:13.880
 of the

00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:14.219
 light?

00:35:14.219 --> 00:35:16.719
 someone

00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:17.199
 who

00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:18.579
 lays

00:35:18.579 --> 00:35:19.139
 down

00:35:19.139 --> 00:35:19.399
 their

00:35:19.399 --> 00:35:19.819
 rights

00:35:19.819 --> 00:35:20.079
 so

00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:20.259
 that

00:35:20.259 --> 00:35:20.579
 others

00:35:20.579 --> 00:35:20.879
 might

00:35:20.879 --> 00:35:21.199
 see

00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:21.879
 Christ's

00:35:21.879 --> 00:35:22.159
 death

00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:22.899
 through

00:35:22.899 --> 00:35:23.259
 you,

00:35:24.539 --> 00:35:25.279
 that the

00:35:25.279 --> 00:35:25.679
 Father

00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:26.199
 might be

00:35:26.199 --> 00:35:26.699
 known,

00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:27.639
 his love

00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:28.099
 known,

00:35:28.279 --> 00:35:28.659
 so that

00:35:28.659 --> 00:35:29.219
 they might

00:35:29.219 --> 00:35:29.659
 come to

00:35:29.659 --> 00:35:30.879
 life in

00:35:30.879 --> 00:35:31.379
 Christ.

00:35:34.619 --> 00:35:35.179
 Our

00:35:35.179 --> 00:35:35.679
 king

00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:37.919
 is

00:35:37.919 --> 00:35:38.619
 glorified,

00:35:38.759 --> 00:35:39.159
 he is

00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:39.480
 king of

00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:39.819
 the world

00:35:39.819 --> 00:35:40.319
 and he's

00:35:40.319 --> 00:35:40.879
 shown us

00:35:40.879 --> 00:35:41.239
 the way

00:35:41.239 --> 00:35:41.719
 to glory.

00:35:42.839 --> 00:35:43.399
 The question

00:35:43.399 --> 00:35:43.759
 is will

00:35:43.759 --> 00:35:44.179
 we follow

00:35:44.179 --> 00:35:44.419
 him?

00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:46.719
 Would you

00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:47.039
 pray with

00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:47.179
 me?

00:36:03.960 --> 00:36:04.399
 Our

00:36:04.399 --> 00:36:04.639
 Father,

00:36:04.819 --> 00:36:04.960
 we

00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:07.779
 confess

00:36:07.779 --> 00:36:09.139
 that

00:36:09.139 --> 00:36:13.239
 there's a

00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:13.719
 big part

00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:14.039
 of us

00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:14.359
 that

00:36:14.359 --> 00:36:15.779
 loves

00:36:15.779 --> 00:36:15.979
 our

00:36:15.979 --> 00:36:16.359
 life

00:36:16.359 --> 00:36:16.579
 in

00:36:16.579 --> 00:36:16.739
 this

00:36:16.739 --> 00:36:17.039
 world.

00:36:20.319 --> 00:36:20.939
 Lord,

00:36:21.019 --> 00:36:21.519
 forgive us

00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:21.839
 for

00:36:21.839 --> 00:36:22.379
 clinging

00:36:22.379 --> 00:36:22.819
 to it.

00:36:25.419 --> 00:36:26.019
 Lord,

00:36:26.099 --> 00:36:26.399
 our love

00:36:26.399 --> 00:36:26.679
 for the

00:36:26.679 --> 00:36:27.039
 world

00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:28.479
 makes us

00:36:28.479 --> 00:36:30.179
 struggle

00:36:30.179 --> 00:36:31.419
 to see

00:36:31.419 --> 00:36:31.819
 Jesus

00:36:31.819 --> 00:36:32.279
 clearly.

00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:32.720
 God

00:36:32.720 --> 00:36:33.019
 God,

00:36:33.019 --> 00:36:34.660
 God,

00:36:34.660 --> 00:36:34.780
 we

00:36:34.780 --> 00:36:37.100
 thank you

00:36:37.100 --> 00:36:37.300
 that

00:36:37.300 --> 00:36:38.900
 you

00:36:38.900 --> 00:36:39.060
 have

00:36:39.060 --> 00:36:39.519
 spoken

00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:41.460
 and

00:36:41.460 --> 00:36:41.580
 that

00:36:41.580 --> 00:36:41.780
 you've
