00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.700
 Sermon is here in the book of Acts. A few weeks ago, we're in chapter 2 today, verses 22 to 41.

00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:25.179
 Acts chapter 2, verses 22 to 41.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.000
 Amen.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:06.620
 God raised him up, losing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:09.040
 For David says concerning him,

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:14.860
 I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken.

00:01:15.780 --> 00:01:21.219
 Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced, and my flesh also will dwell in hope.

00:01:22.340 --> 00:01:26.719
 For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, or let your Holy One see corruption.

00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:30.000
 You have made known to me the paths of life.

00:01:30.540 --> 00:01:32.940
 You will make me full of gladness with your presence.

00:01:32.939 --> 00:01:38.640
 Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David,

00:01:38.759 --> 00:01:42.819
 that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

00:01:43.780 --> 00:01:47.400
 Being there for a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him

00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.659
 that he would set one of his descendants on his throne,

00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:53.359
 he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ,

00:01:53.900 --> 00:01:57.739
 that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.

00:01:57.739 --> 00:02:03.479
 This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses.

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:07.019
 Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God,

00:02:07.299 --> 00:02:10.340
 and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit,

00:02:10.659 --> 00:02:13.680
 he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing.

00:02:14.900 --> 00:02:18.000
 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says,

00:02:18.139 --> 00:02:19.539
 The Lord said to my Lord,

00:02:19.699 --> 00:02:23.219
 Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.

00:02:23.219 --> 00:02:29.759
 Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ,

00:02:29.900 --> 00:02:31.699
 this Jesus whom you crucified.

00:02:32.900 --> 00:02:35.319
 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart,

00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:37.819
 and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles,

00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:40.159
 Brothers, what shall we do?

00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:42.280
 And Peter said to them,

00:02:42.819 --> 00:02:46.060
 Repent, and be baptized, every one of you,

00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.060
 in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins,

00:02:49.579 --> 00:02:51.800
 and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:56.040
 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off,

00:02:56.480 --> 00:02:58.820
 everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.

00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:04.280
 And with many other words, he bore witness and continued to exhort them,

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.140
 saying, Save yourselves from this crooked generation.

00:03:07.980 --> 00:03:09.939
 So those who received his word were baptized,

00:03:10.600 --> 00:03:13.520
 and there were added that day about 3,000 souls.

00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.600
 This is God's holy and authoritative word.

00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:25.199
 God, we pray that you would speak to us as you spoke through Peter on that day of Pentecost,

00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.759
 that you would move among us in power,

00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:30.759
 that you would bring conviction,

00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:35.180
 that as we hear the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ,

00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:36.919
 that our hearts would be cut to the heart,

00:03:37.259 --> 00:03:38.459
 that we would be cut to the heart,

00:03:38.460 --> 00:03:42.820
 that we would be filled with your spirit,

00:03:43.379 --> 00:03:48.420
 that there would be repentance, faith, baptisms.

00:03:48.419 --> 00:03:53.719
 We look to you, Lord.

00:03:54.579 --> 00:03:56.459
 In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

00:03:58.299 --> 00:04:02.879
 If you have ever walked into a Christian bookstore,

00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:05.500
 or actually any bookstore,

00:04:05.619 --> 00:04:08.619
 you know that there's a glut of self-help books out there.

00:04:08.620 --> 00:04:11.659
 But what you might not be aware of

00:04:11.659 --> 00:04:14.500
 is that there's also a glut of church-help books out there.

00:04:16.540 --> 00:04:18.600
 There are hundreds of books

00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.579
 that purport to have the silver bullet of church growth.

00:04:23.699 --> 00:04:25.740
 You have to create an inviting atmosphere

00:04:25.740 --> 00:04:27.420
 and a welcoming experience.

00:04:28.280 --> 00:04:31.100
 You have to have a better and bigger musical production.

00:04:31.980 --> 00:04:33.899
 You have to make your sermons shorter

00:04:33.899 --> 00:04:36.500
 and tell more stories

00:04:36.500 --> 00:04:38.019
 and talk less about the Bible.

00:04:38.620 --> 00:04:41.939
 You need to be more woke and relevant for your culture.

00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:44.920
 You have to canvass your neighborhood

00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.639
 and talk about the issues that they care about.

00:04:48.379 --> 00:04:50.660
 You have to have certain kinds of small groups.

00:04:51.420 --> 00:04:54.079
 You have to have a better assimilation strategy

00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:56.680
 for getting first-time visitors to become regular attendees

00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:57.819
 and then eventually members.

00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:00.840
 There are all kinds of ideas out there.

00:05:01.340 --> 00:05:02.740
 Some are more helpful than others.

00:05:04.100 --> 00:05:05.259
 And pragmatically speaking,

00:05:05.259 --> 00:05:07.540
 all of those strategies work.

00:05:08.620 --> 00:05:11.079
 The problem, however, is that

00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.780
 though they are effective in gathering a crowd,

00:05:14.420 --> 00:05:16.180
 they cannot grow a church

00:05:16.180 --> 00:05:20.939
 because the church grows by the Spirit-empowered

00:05:20.939 --> 00:05:23.040
 preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:29.460
 Even the records of the best church growth experts

00:05:29.460 --> 00:05:31.360
 pale in comparison to what happens here

00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.520
 in Acts chapter 2, verses 22 to 41.

00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.160
 In Acts 1, verse 15,

00:05:36.260 --> 00:05:37.960
 the church was about 120 people.

00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.220
 But in Acts chapter 2, verse 41,

00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:44.340
 there were added that day about 3,000 souls.

00:05:44.339 --> 00:05:47.839
 25-fold growth in one day.

00:05:49.419 --> 00:05:54.359
 But we see no brilliant human strategy or production at all.

00:05:54.779 --> 00:05:58.919
 Only a bold proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ

00:05:58.919 --> 00:06:02.500
 among people whom the Spirit of God was working in.

00:06:04.539 --> 00:06:05.739
 And throughout the book of Acts,

00:06:05.899 --> 00:06:07.319
 Luke provides summary statements

00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:08.979
 that tell us about the state of the church.

00:06:08.980 --> 00:06:11.240
 And if you examine those statements,

00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.000
 they often use language like this.

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:14.759
 Acts chapter 6, verse 7 says,

00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.660
 And the word of God continued to increase,

00:06:17.860 --> 00:06:21.020
 and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly.

00:06:21.740 --> 00:06:23.660
 When the word of God increases,

00:06:24.020 --> 00:06:26.259
 the number of the disciples multiplied.

00:06:28.520 --> 00:06:30.220
 Acts chapter 12, verse 24,

00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.980
 The word of God increased and multiplied.

00:06:33.620 --> 00:06:35.400
 Acts chapter 19, verse 20,

00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.000
 So the word of the Lord continued to increase

00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:39.599
 and prevail mightily.

00:06:41.099 --> 00:06:42.939
 This is because the church grows

00:06:42.939 --> 00:06:44.739
 by the Spirit-empowered preaching

00:06:44.739 --> 00:06:47.199
 of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:06:48.179 --> 00:06:50.060
 So in verses 22 to 36,

00:06:50.299 --> 00:06:51.579
 we see the gospel proclamation.

00:06:52.339 --> 00:06:54.099
 And in verses 37 to 41,

00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:56.060
 we see the church's growth,

00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.199
 the people's response to the gospel proclamation.

00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.099
 In the preceding passage we talked about last week,

00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:04.659
 Peter cited Joel chapter 2

00:07:04.660 --> 00:07:07.100
 to explain the sound like a mighty rushing wind

00:07:07.100 --> 00:07:08.640
 and the divided tongues as a fire

00:07:08.640 --> 00:07:09.760
 that came upon the people

00:07:09.760 --> 00:07:11.740
 and how they spoke in other tongues,

00:07:11.820 --> 00:07:12.439
 other languages.

00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.980
 And we saw that this was a fulfillment

00:07:15.980 --> 00:07:17.080
 of Joel's prophecy,

00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:18.560
 that in the last days,

00:07:18.620 --> 00:07:19.780
 the Spirit of God would come upon

00:07:19.780 --> 00:07:21.940
 all of his people in power.

00:07:23.140 --> 00:07:24.500
 And at the end of that citation,

00:07:24.700 --> 00:07:25.700
 he said in verse 21,

00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:27.020
 And it shall come to pass

00:07:27.020 --> 00:07:29.500
 that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord

00:07:29.500 --> 00:07:30.780
 shall be saved.

00:07:30.779 --> 00:07:35.019
 And now he pivots from that point on,

00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:36.059
 starting in verse 22,

00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:37.659
 to get to the meat of his sermon,

00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:40.599
 to explain who this Lord is

00:07:40.599 --> 00:07:41.979
 that we must call upon

00:07:41.979 --> 00:07:43.359
 in order to be saved.

00:07:45.039 --> 00:07:46.399
 He says in verse 22,

00:07:46.399 --> 00:08:01.079
 Peter addresses the Jews from every nation

00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.259
 that are in the audience as men of Israel,

00:08:03.259 --> 00:08:06.939
 and then he introduces Jesus as Jesus of Nazareth,

00:08:07.239 --> 00:08:07.859
 a man.

00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:10.039
 In other words,

00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:11.500
 Jesus was a man,

00:08:11.700 --> 00:08:12.720
 just like you men.

00:08:14.420 --> 00:08:16.680
 This is the reality of Jesus' incarnation,

00:08:17.220 --> 00:08:19.860
 that the Son of God took on human flesh.

00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:21.840
 He became a Son of Man.

00:08:22.760 --> 00:08:23.879
 He was born in Nazareth.

00:08:25.379 --> 00:08:25.780
 Or,

00:08:25.939 --> 00:08:27.360
 he grew up in Nazareth.

00:08:28.460 --> 00:08:29.540
 In our passports,

00:08:29.640 --> 00:08:30.820
 we have our birth date

00:08:30.820 --> 00:08:32.019
 and a place of birth.

00:08:32.700 --> 00:08:33.379
 And Jesus,

00:08:33.560 --> 00:08:34.779
 the second person of the Trinity,

00:08:35.180 --> 00:08:36.659
 the only begotten Son of God,

00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:38.480
 had a birth date in human history,

00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:40.940
 and he had a birth place on earth.

00:08:42.659 --> 00:08:44.600
 That's the mind-boggling reality

00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:45.220
 of the incarnation.

00:08:46.420 --> 00:08:47.519
 But this man, Jesus,

00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:48.480
 though in one sense

00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:49.960
 he was an ordinary human being,

00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.120
 in another sense was extraordinary.

00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:53.940
 Because it says

00:08:53.940 --> 00:08:55.899
 he was attested to you by God

00:08:55.899 --> 00:08:58.279
 with mighty works and wonders

00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:00.060
 and signs that God did through him

00:09:00.060 --> 00:09:00.600
 in your midst,

00:09:00.659 --> 00:09:01.920
 as you yourselves know.

00:09:02.920 --> 00:09:05.240
 God himself testified

00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.740
 to the kind of man that Jesus was.

00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:09.879
 By doing mighty works

00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:11.600
 and wonders and signs through him.

00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:13.659
 And notice that Peter

00:09:13.659 --> 00:09:15.580
 doesn't even feel the need

00:09:15.580 --> 00:09:16.399
 to prove this,

00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:17.399
 to demonstrate this.

00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:19.539
 He doesn't have people stand up

00:09:19.539 --> 00:09:20.600
 to give testimonials.

00:09:21.420 --> 00:09:22.100
 He doesn't say,

00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:23.159
 hey, Mary Magdalene,

00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:23.480
 you,

00:09:24.340 --> 00:09:24.840
 yes, you,

00:09:24.899 --> 00:09:25.460
 you've been,

00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:26.060
 you know,

00:09:26.139 --> 00:09:27.139
 healed by Jesus.

00:09:27.259 --> 00:09:28.240
 You've had seven demons

00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:28.980
 cast out of you.

00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:30.279
 Why don't you come on up here

00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:30.980
 and tell this crowd

00:09:30.980 --> 00:09:31.620
 about what happened?

00:09:32.740 --> 00:09:33.620
 Peter doesn't do that

00:09:33.620 --> 00:09:34.680
 because he doesn't need to.

00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:36.459
 He says that God did

00:09:36.459 --> 00:09:37.539
 these mighty works

00:09:37.539 --> 00:09:38.759
 and wonders and signs

00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:39.819
 through Jesus

00:09:39.819 --> 00:09:41.319
 in your midst,

00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:43.399
 as you yourselves know.

00:09:45.459 --> 00:09:47.219
 This is taken for granted.

00:09:47.419 --> 00:09:48.839
 If you look at the controversies

00:09:48.839 --> 00:09:49.500
 between Jesus

00:09:49.500 --> 00:09:51.039
 and the Jewish religious leaders

00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:52.339
 in the Gospels,

00:09:52.459 --> 00:09:54.159
 like in Matthew 9 or 12

00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:55.539
 or Mark chapter 3,

00:09:56.059 --> 00:09:58.120
 Jesus' naysayers never questioned

00:09:58.120 --> 00:09:59.500
 that Jesus did miracles.

00:10:00.099 --> 00:10:00.699
 They questioned

00:10:00.699 --> 00:10:01.979
 how Jesus did miracles.

00:10:01.980 --> 00:10:03.639
 They accused him

00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:04.920
 of using the power

00:10:04.920 --> 00:10:05.800
 of the prince of demons

00:10:05.800 --> 00:10:07.060
 to cast out other demons.

00:10:08.139 --> 00:10:08.779
 But of course,

00:10:08.860 --> 00:10:10.759
 that's an absurd argument

00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:12.480
 because Jesus was driving out demons

00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:13.600
 and healing people.

00:10:15.060 --> 00:10:16.159
 So Peter is here

00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:16.700
 starting out

00:10:16.700 --> 00:10:17.420
 with what the crowd

00:10:17.420 --> 00:10:18.220
 already knows.

00:10:18.300 --> 00:10:19.399
 It doesn't need to be proven.

00:10:19.920 --> 00:10:21.060
 Everyone there knows

00:10:21.060 --> 00:10:22.759
 that Jesus was attested

00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:23.519
 by mighty works

00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:24.379
 and signs and wonders.

00:10:25.259 --> 00:10:26.460
 That's not in question.

00:10:27.539 --> 00:10:28.379
 But then when he begins

00:10:28.379 --> 00:10:29.100
 to challenge them

00:10:29.100 --> 00:10:30.460
 in verses 23, 24,

00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:31.740
 he doesn't mince his words.

00:10:31.980 --> 00:10:35.340
 This Jesus delivered up

00:10:35.340 --> 00:10:36.659
 according to the definite plan

00:10:36.659 --> 00:10:37.860
 and foreknowledge of God,

00:10:38.779 --> 00:10:41.259
 you crucified and killed

00:10:41.259 --> 00:10:43.259
 by the hands of lawless men.

00:10:44.500 --> 00:10:46.100
 God raised him up,

00:10:46.980 --> 00:10:48.159
 losing the pangs of death

00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:49.320
 because it was not possible

00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:50.680
 for him to be held by it.

00:10:51.820 --> 00:10:52.720
 In his description

00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:54.279
 of Jesus' trial

00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:56.639
 in Luke chapter 22 and 23,

00:10:57.220 --> 00:10:57.920
 Luke portrays

00:10:57.920 --> 00:10:58.820
 the Jewish leadership

00:10:58.820 --> 00:11:00.019
 as really driving

00:11:00.019 --> 00:11:01.399
 Jesus' condemnation

00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:03.699
 and eventual crucifixion.

00:11:04.500 --> 00:11:05.000
 And here,

00:11:05.100 --> 00:11:05.919
 since he's speaking

00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:07.600
 to Jews

00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:08.559
 who were in Jerusalem

00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:09.220
 at the time

00:11:09.220 --> 00:11:10.000
 for Pentecost,

00:11:10.439 --> 00:11:11.379
 Peter holds them

00:11:11.379 --> 00:11:13.059
 responsible for Jesus' death.

00:11:15.059 --> 00:11:16.139
 You crucified

00:11:16.139 --> 00:11:17.340
 and killed him.

00:11:17.899 --> 00:11:19.199
 It's possible,

00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:20.659
 even likely,

00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:21.600
 that some of the people

00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:22.179
 who were witnessing

00:11:22.179 --> 00:11:23.419
 the events of Pentecost

00:11:23.419 --> 00:11:24.720
 were the very people

00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:25.819
 who were among the mob

00:11:25.820 --> 00:11:26.460
 that yelled,

00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:27.740
 crucify him,

00:11:28.520 --> 00:11:29.360
 crucify him.

00:11:31.420 --> 00:11:32.379
 But the Jews

00:11:32.379 --> 00:11:33.860
 are not solely responsible

00:11:33.860 --> 00:11:34.780
 for Jesus' death.

00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:36.840
 Peter says,

00:11:36.940 --> 00:11:38.320
 you crucified and killed

00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:39.640
 by the hands

00:11:39.640 --> 00:11:40.940
 of lawless men.

00:11:42.800 --> 00:11:44.340
 The phrase lawless men

00:11:44.340 --> 00:11:45.360
 does not merely mean

00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:46.260
 immoral men

00:11:46.260 --> 00:11:47.940
 or law-breaking men.

00:11:47.980 --> 00:11:48.700
 It refers to those

00:11:48.700 --> 00:11:50.200
 who are outside the law,

00:11:50.820 --> 00:11:51.460
 Gentiles.

00:11:51.460 --> 00:11:53.540
 In other words,

00:11:54.139 --> 00:11:54.540
 Jews,

00:11:55.340 --> 00:11:56.340
 as well as

00:11:56.340 --> 00:11:57.160
 the Romans,

00:11:57.300 --> 00:11:57.960
 the Gentiles,

00:11:59.019 --> 00:11:59.759
 were responsible

00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:01.060
 for Jesus' execution.

00:12:01.700 --> 00:12:02.759
 Both are to blame.

00:12:04.280 --> 00:12:04.920
 And though they are

00:12:04.920 --> 00:12:06.240
 the immediate cause

00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:07.000
 of Jesus' death,

00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:08.400
 they're not the ultimate cause,

00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:08.900
 and we see this

00:12:08.900 --> 00:12:09.680
 in verse 23.

00:12:10.340 --> 00:12:11.560
 This Jesus delivered up

00:12:11.560 --> 00:12:12.259
 according to

00:12:12.259 --> 00:12:13.300
 the definite plan

00:12:13.300 --> 00:12:14.200
 and foreknowledge

00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:14.700
 of God.

00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:16.460
 There's a wonderful

00:12:16.460 --> 00:12:17.259
 interplay here

00:12:17.259 --> 00:12:18.480
 between divine sovereignty

00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:19.759
 and human responsibility.

00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:21.559
 The Jews

00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:22.700
 and Gentiles

00:12:22.700 --> 00:12:23.500
 are responsible

00:12:23.500 --> 00:12:25.220
 for their unjust

00:12:25.220 --> 00:12:26.159
 killing of Jesus.

00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:29.200
 But all of that

00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:29.759
 happened according

00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:31.399
 to God's definite plan

00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:32.500
 and foreknowledge.

00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:35.919
 The divine sovereignty

00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:36.819
 and human responsibility

00:12:36.819 --> 00:12:37.519
 are like

00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.319
 two ends

00:12:39.319 --> 00:12:40.360
 of a guitar string

00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:41.700
 that needs

00:12:41.700 --> 00:12:42.819
 to be held

00:12:42.819 --> 00:12:43.379
 taught

00:12:43.379 --> 00:12:45.019
 for it to make sound.

00:12:46.259 --> 00:12:47.419
 As soon as you

00:12:47.419 --> 00:12:48.000
 try to resolve

00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:48.460
 that tension

00:12:48.460 --> 00:12:49.100
 by letting go,

00:12:49.100 --> 00:12:50.019
 it becomes useless.

00:12:53.540 --> 00:12:54.639
 On the one hand,

00:12:54.800 --> 00:12:55.680
 if you find yourself

00:12:55.680 --> 00:12:56.500
 thinking and saying

00:12:56.500 --> 00:12:57.159
 things like,

00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:58.500
 well, God wouldn't

00:12:58.500 --> 00:12:59.040
 do something

00:12:59.040 --> 00:12:59.800
 so despicable

00:12:59.800 --> 00:13:00.480
 as giving up

00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:01.480
 His own son to death,

00:13:02.620 --> 00:13:03.580
 putting Him forward

00:13:03.580 --> 00:13:04.360
 as a sacrifice,

00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:06.080
 God didn't do that.

00:13:06.300 --> 00:13:07.399
 Humanity killed Him

00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:08.279
 and then God

00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:09.480
 used it for good.

00:13:10.460 --> 00:13:11.440
 If you find yourself

00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:12.519
 saying things like that,

00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:13.580
 then you're letting go

00:13:13.580 --> 00:13:14.960
 of the divine sovereignty

00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:15.800
 side of the string.

00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:20.079
 because Romans 3.25

00:13:20.079 --> 00:13:20.500
 says,

00:13:20.620 --> 00:13:22.019
 God put Him forward

00:13:22.019 --> 00:13:23.039
 as a propitiation

00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:23.699
 by His blood.

00:13:24.719 --> 00:13:25.620
 Romans 8.32

00:13:25.620 --> 00:13:25.919
 says,

00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:27.479
 God did not spare

00:13:27.479 --> 00:13:28.359
 His own son

00:13:28.359 --> 00:13:29.219
 but gave Him up

00:13:29.219 --> 00:13:29.859
 for us all.

00:13:30.859 --> 00:13:31.479
 It says here

00:13:31.479 --> 00:13:32.419
 in Acts 2.23

00:13:32.419 --> 00:13:33.419
 clearly that Jesus

00:13:33.419 --> 00:13:34.319
 was delivered up

00:13:34.319 --> 00:13:34.979
 according to

00:13:34.979 --> 00:13:36.199
 the definite plan

00:13:36.199 --> 00:13:36.939
 and foreknowledge

00:13:36.939 --> 00:13:37.799
 of God.

00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:39.899
 On the other hand,

00:13:39.939 --> 00:13:40.679
 if you find yourself

00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:41.519
 thinking and saying

00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:42.839
 things like this,

00:13:43.019 --> 00:13:43.959
 it's ultimately

00:13:43.959 --> 00:13:45.199
 God who put Jesus

00:13:45.199 --> 00:13:45.799
 on the cross

00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:47.339
 so the Jews and Gentiles

00:13:47.339 --> 00:13:48.539
 really had no choice,

00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:50.799
 then you're releasing

00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:51.939
 the human responsibility

00:13:51.939 --> 00:13:53.500
 side of the string.

00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:55.620
 It's a mystery

00:13:55.620 --> 00:13:56.779
 that must be held

00:13:56.779 --> 00:13:57.579
 in tension.

00:13:58.059 --> 00:13:58.979
 Both are true.

00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:01.399
 This Jesus delivered up

00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:01.959
 according to the

00:14:01.959 --> 00:14:02.740
 definite plan

00:14:02.740 --> 00:14:03.519
 and foreknowledge

00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:03.979
 of God,

00:14:04.139 --> 00:14:04.939
 you crucified

00:14:04.939 --> 00:14:05.919
 and killed

00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:06.599
 by the hands

00:14:06.599 --> 00:14:07.359
 of lawless men.

00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:08.680
 And when you hold

00:14:08.680 --> 00:14:09.240
 these truths

00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:10.440
 in tension together,

00:14:10.680 --> 00:14:11.720
 it offers wonderful

00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:12.840
 comforts for the Christian.

00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:15.639
 The worst things

00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:17.180
 that other people

00:14:17.180 --> 00:14:18.279
 have done to you,

00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:20.919
 a malicious gossip

00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:22.060
 that made you

00:14:22.060 --> 00:14:23.159
 lose your best friend,

00:14:24.680 --> 00:14:26.240
 a vindictive co-worker

00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:26.840
 that made you

00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:27.820
 lose your job,

00:14:28.620 --> 00:14:29.879
 a domineering relative

00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:31.000
 who abused you,

00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:33.200
 whatever they did to you,

00:14:33.300 --> 00:14:34.700
 they are fully responsible

00:14:34.700 --> 00:14:36.500
 for what they have done

00:14:36.500 --> 00:14:37.659
 and they will be held

00:14:37.659 --> 00:14:38.240
 accountable

00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:40.440
 by our just God.

00:14:42.700 --> 00:14:43.740
 So God is not

00:14:43.740 --> 00:14:44.600
 to blame for it.

00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:47.019
 At the same time,

00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:48.820
 you can rest assured

00:14:48.820 --> 00:14:50.759
 that even the most

00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:51.779
 heinous and harmful

00:14:51.779 --> 00:14:52.919
 things that people

00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:53.679
 have done to you

00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:54.779
 did not happen

00:14:54.779 --> 00:14:56.379
 outside of God's

00:14:56.379 --> 00:14:57.620
 definite plan

00:14:57.620 --> 00:14:59.059
 and foreknowledge.

00:14:59.059 --> 00:15:01.379
 God is not

00:15:01.379 --> 00:15:01.879
 to blame for it.

00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:02.879
 It's not that God

00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:03.419
 was unaware

00:15:03.419 --> 00:15:04.419
 that it might happen

00:15:04.419 --> 00:15:06.759
 or that He was powerless

00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:08.099
 to do something about it.

00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:09.819
 Imagine such an ignorant

00:15:09.819 --> 00:15:10.919
 and impotent God.

00:15:11.179 --> 00:15:11.819
 He would not be

00:15:11.819 --> 00:15:12.599
 God at all.

00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:14.059
 He knew

00:15:14.059 --> 00:15:15.019
 it was part

00:15:15.019 --> 00:15:15.939
 of His definite plan.

00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:17.219
 Why?

00:15:17.339 --> 00:15:17.799
 Because

00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:19.059
 it will make you

00:15:19.059 --> 00:15:19.819
 more like Jesus.

00:15:20.619 --> 00:15:21.959
 Because it will prepare you

00:15:21.959 --> 00:15:22.879
 for the glory

00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:23.719
 that He has in store

00:15:23.719 --> 00:15:24.139
 for you.

00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:25.719
 Because He loves you.

00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:27.720
 Because we know

00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:28.300
 that for those

00:15:28.300 --> 00:15:29.100
 who love God,

00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:30.200
 all things work

00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:31.040
 together for good.

00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:32.820
 For those who are called

00:15:32.820 --> 00:15:33.800
 according to His purpose.

00:15:35.259 --> 00:15:37.180
 So God put Jesus forward

00:15:37.180 --> 00:15:37.960
 as a propitiation

00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:38.500
 by His blood

00:15:38.500 --> 00:15:39.620
 that we might be justified

00:15:39.620 --> 00:15:40.899
 through faith in Jesus.

00:15:43.220 --> 00:15:44.460
 God did not spare

00:15:44.460 --> 00:15:45.220
 His own Son

00:15:45.220 --> 00:15:46.580
 so that He might spare

00:15:46.580 --> 00:15:47.620
 sinners like us.

00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:49.220
 That was God's plan

00:15:49.220 --> 00:15:50.259
 of salvation all along.

00:15:51.700 --> 00:15:52.779
 And though it says

00:15:52.779 --> 00:15:53.480
 that the Jews

00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:54.600
 crucified and killed

00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:55.399
 Jesus by the hands

00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:56.139
 of Gentiles,

00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:57.379
 it says in verse 24,

00:15:57.840 --> 00:15:59.139
 God raised Him up

00:15:59.139 --> 00:16:00.559
 losing the pangs of death

00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:02.360
 because it was not possible

00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:03.819
 for Him to be held by it.

00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:05.639
 Notice the contrast

00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:06.639
 between verse 23

00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:07.579
 and verse 24.

00:16:08.100 --> 00:16:08.899
 You crucified

00:16:08.899 --> 00:16:09.879
 and killed Him

00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:11.939
 but God raised Him up.

00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:14.000
 The phrase

00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:15.639
 losing the pangs of death

00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:16.340
 teaches us that

00:16:16.340 --> 00:16:17.199
 death is a form

00:16:17.199 --> 00:16:18.019
 of captivity.

00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:20.079
 It keeps men bound.

00:16:20.819 --> 00:16:22.220
 We must be freed from it.

00:16:22.220 --> 00:16:22.240
 We must be freed from it.

00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:23.279
 Losed from it.

00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:26.819
 The administrative

00:16:26.819 --> 00:16:27.959
 maximum facility

00:16:27.959 --> 00:16:29.240
 in Florence, Colorado,

00:16:29.539 --> 00:16:30.079
 known as

00:16:30.079 --> 00:16:31.139
 the Alcatraz

00:16:31.139 --> 00:16:32.059
 of the Rockies,

00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:33.699
 is the most secure

00:16:33.699 --> 00:16:34.220
 prison

00:16:34.220 --> 00:16:35.220
 in the world

00:16:35.220 --> 00:16:35.939
 has ever seen.

00:16:38.139 --> 00:16:39.159
 It's classed

00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:40.480
 as a super max prison

00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:40.939
 which means

00:16:40.939 --> 00:16:42.100
 it's more secure

00:16:42.100 --> 00:16:42.759
 than a maximum

00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:43.579
 security prison.

00:16:44.439 --> 00:16:45.659
 Each prisoner inside

00:16:45.659 --> 00:16:46.980
 is under 24-hour

00:16:46.980 --> 00:16:47.519
 supervision

00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:48.620
 and are confined

00:16:48.620 --> 00:16:50.299
 in single cells

00:16:50.299 --> 00:16:52.340
 23 hours per day

00:16:52.340 --> 00:16:53.759
 which is made of

00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:54.279
 poured,

00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:55.399
 reinforced concrete.

00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:57.980
 Their one hour

00:16:57.980 --> 00:16:59.000
 per day

00:16:59.000 --> 00:16:59.659
 out of the cell

00:16:59.659 --> 00:17:00.699
 is unpredictable

00:17:00.699 --> 00:17:01.419
 and can occur

00:17:01.419 --> 00:17:02.399
 at any time

00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:03.000
 in the day

00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:04.139
 and the windows

00:17:04.139 --> 00:17:05.019
 of their cells

00:17:05.019 --> 00:17:05.779
 are so narrow,

00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:07.339
 four inches to be exact,

00:17:08.059 --> 00:17:09.460
 it's impossible

00:17:09.460 --> 00:17:10.440
 for them to make out

00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:11.480
 even where they are

00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:12.420
 inside the complex.

00:17:12.420 --> 00:17:15.259
 And they made it

00:17:15.259 --> 00:17:15.640
 like this

00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:16.539
 so that no prison

00:17:16.539 --> 00:17:17.740
 would even plan

00:17:17.740 --> 00:17:18.480
 an escape.

00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:19.480
 They can't even

00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:20.300
 plan an escape.

00:17:20.460 --> 00:17:21.100
 No one has ever

00:17:21.100 --> 00:17:22.380
 attempted to escape

00:17:22.380 --> 00:17:23.000
 from this prison.

00:17:25.140 --> 00:17:25.800
 And yet,

00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:26.539
 even this prison

00:17:26.539 --> 00:17:28.240
 has only a 27-year history

00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:29.960
 and has kept

00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:31.080
 only hundreds of people

00:17:31.080 --> 00:17:32.460
 within its concrete walls.

00:17:33.580 --> 00:17:34.640
 But that's nothing

00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:35.620
 compared to death.

00:17:35.619 --> 00:17:40.379
 Over the many millennia

00:17:40.379 --> 00:17:41.179
 of human history,

00:17:41.339 --> 00:17:42.079
 death has kept

00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:44.299
 over 100 billion people

00:17:44.299 --> 00:17:45.379
 in captivity.

00:17:46.179 --> 00:17:47.500
 And no one

00:17:47.500 --> 00:17:49.319
 who has ever died

00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:50.599
 has escaped

00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:52.159
 its chains permanently.

00:17:53.639 --> 00:17:54.539
 Even the few

00:17:54.539 --> 00:17:55.000
 who had been

00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:56.079
 miraculously raised

00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:56.719
 from the dead

00:17:56.719 --> 00:17:57.779
 eventually succumbed

00:17:57.779 --> 00:17:58.579
 to death again

00:17:58.579 --> 00:18:00.119
 because that's

00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:01.119
 our human destiny.

00:18:01.739 --> 00:18:02.779
 As people have sinned

00:18:02.779 --> 00:18:03.679
 and rebelled

00:18:03.679 --> 00:18:04.579
 against our Creator,

00:18:04.699 --> 00:18:05.439
 we can't ever

00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:07.160
 escape this grip

00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:08.340
 of death on our own.

00:18:10.360 --> 00:18:11.380
 That's why people

00:18:11.380 --> 00:18:12.100
 fear death.

00:18:13.180 --> 00:18:14.460
 Do you fear death?

00:18:16.620 --> 00:18:17.539
 Are you afraid

00:18:17.539 --> 00:18:18.460
 of its bondage?

00:18:19.620 --> 00:18:20.180
 Do you fear

00:18:20.180 --> 00:18:20.920
 its pain?

00:18:21.840 --> 00:18:22.279
 Because if

00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:23.539
 that's the case,

00:18:23.580 --> 00:18:24.640
 you're right to fear it.

00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:26.539
 Because there's no hope

00:18:26.539 --> 00:18:27.920
 of escape from it

00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:29.140
 except

00:18:29.140 --> 00:18:31.259
 in Jesus Christ.

00:18:31.259 --> 00:18:36.279
 God raised Jesus

00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:37.099
 up from the dead

00:18:37.099 --> 00:18:37.900
 so that He

00:18:37.900 --> 00:18:39.259
 never dies

00:18:39.259 --> 00:18:39.879
 again.

00:18:40.819 --> 00:18:41.259
 And now

00:18:41.259 --> 00:18:42.220
 whoever believes

00:18:42.220 --> 00:18:42.700
 in Him

00:18:42.700 --> 00:18:43.920
 should not perish

00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:44.519
 but have

00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:46.119
 eternal life.

00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:49.279
 That's the hope

00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:49.740
 that's given

00:18:49.740 --> 00:18:50.680
 only to those

00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:51.799
 who follow Jesus Christ.

00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:57.740
 Jesus has broken

00:18:57.740 --> 00:18:58.259
 free

00:18:58.259 --> 00:19:01.460
 from that eternal

00:19:01.460 --> 00:19:01.980
 prison

00:19:01.980 --> 00:19:03.940
 and if you

00:19:03.940 --> 00:19:04.379
 follow Him

00:19:04.379 --> 00:19:04.980
 you can follow

00:19:04.980 --> 00:19:05.440
 Him out.

00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:10.299
 But how was it

00:19:10.299 --> 00:19:10.819
 that it was not

00:19:10.819 --> 00:19:11.740
 possible for Jesus

00:19:11.740 --> 00:19:12.279
 to be held

00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:12.779
 by death?

00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:14.759
 Peter explains

00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:15.279
 by citing

00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:16.099
 Psalm 16,

00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:16.720
 8-11

00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:18.359
 in verses 25-28.

00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:20.059
 For David says

00:19:20.059 --> 00:19:20.779
 concerning Him,

00:19:20.859 --> 00:19:21.679
 I saw the Lord

00:19:21.679 --> 00:19:22.619
 always before me

00:19:22.619 --> 00:19:23.500
 for He is at my

00:19:23.500 --> 00:19:24.119
 right hand

00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:24.719
 that I may not

00:19:24.719 --> 00:19:25.379
 be shaken.

00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:27.759
 Therefore my heart

00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:28.259
 was glad

00:19:28.259 --> 00:19:28.799
 and my tongue

00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:29.319
 rejoiced.

00:19:29.399 --> 00:19:30.199
 My flesh also

00:19:30.199 --> 00:19:31.179
 will dwell in hope

00:19:31.179 --> 00:19:32.459
 for You will not

00:19:32.459 --> 00:19:33.419
 abandon my soul

00:19:33.419 --> 00:19:33.939
 to Hades

00:19:33.939 --> 00:19:34.979
 or let Your Holy One

00:19:34.979 --> 00:19:35.699
 see corruption.

00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:37.099
 You have made known

00:19:37.099 --> 00:19:37.879
 to me the paths

00:19:37.879 --> 00:19:38.259
 of life.

00:19:38.339 --> 00:19:38.819
 You will make me

00:19:38.819 --> 00:19:39.619
 full of gladness

00:19:39.619 --> 00:19:40.500
 with Your presence.

00:19:41.539 --> 00:19:42.559
 In this Psalm

00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:44.119
 David asks God

00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:44.779
 for protection

00:19:44.779 --> 00:19:45.839
 from a mortal threat

00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:46.579
 that He is facing

00:19:46.579 --> 00:19:47.879
 and then He ends

00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:48.300
 the Psalm

00:19:48.300 --> 00:19:48.840
 by expressing

00:19:48.840 --> 00:19:49.520
 his confidence

00:19:49.520 --> 00:19:50.800
 in God's deliverance.

00:19:52.260 --> 00:19:53.100
 But Peter

00:19:53.100 --> 00:19:54.140
 as well as Paul

00:19:54.140 --> 00:19:54.940
 later on

00:19:54.940 --> 00:19:56.620
 in Acts 13-35

00:19:56.620 --> 00:19:58.180
 interpret this Psalm

00:19:58.180 --> 00:19:59.320
 typologically

00:19:59.320 --> 00:20:01.100
 to be about Jesus

00:20:01.100 --> 00:20:02.440
 because David

00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:03.240
 is a type

00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:04.280
 of Jesus Christ.

00:20:04.520 --> 00:20:05.500
 He foreshadows

00:20:05.500 --> 00:20:06.200
 Jesus Christ.

00:20:06.300 --> 00:20:06.800
 He's a figure

00:20:06.800 --> 00:20:07.740
 that points

00:20:07.740 --> 00:20:08.240
 to the coming

00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:09.280
 of the Messianic King.

00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:11.000
 So let's look

00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:11.940
 at Peter's explanation

00:20:11.940 --> 00:20:13.320
 in verses 29-31.

00:20:13.460 --> 00:20:13.700
 Brothers,

00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:14.900
 I may say to you

00:20:14.900 --> 00:20:15.620
 with confidence

00:20:15.620 --> 00:20:16.900
 about the patriarch David

00:20:16.900 --> 00:20:17.760
 that he both died

00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:18.539
 and was buried

00:20:18.539 --> 00:20:19.720
 and his tomb

00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:20.259
 is with us

00:20:20.259 --> 00:20:20.859
 to this day.

00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:22.579
 Being therefore

00:20:22.579 --> 00:20:23.339
 a prophet

00:20:23.339 --> 00:20:23.920
 and knowing

00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:24.359
 that God

00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:24.819
 had sworn

00:20:24.819 --> 00:20:25.279
 with an oath

00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:25.579
 to him

00:20:25.579 --> 00:20:25.960
 that he would

00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:26.599
 set one of his

00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:26.960
 descendants

00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:27.680
 on his throne

00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:28.680
 before he saw

00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:29.200
 and spoke

00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:30.000
 about the resurrection

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:30.680
 of the Christ

00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:31.200
 that he was not

00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:32.259
 abandoned to Hades

00:20:32.259 --> 00:20:33.779
 nor did his flesh

00:20:33.779 --> 00:20:34.599
 see corruption.

00:20:35.980 --> 00:20:36.400
 Though David

00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:37.220
 was delivered

00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:38.339
 from that moral threat

00:20:38.339 --> 00:20:38.720
 that he was

00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:39.720
 crying out to God

00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:40.599
 about in the Psalm,

00:20:40.980 --> 00:20:41.660
 his deliverance

00:20:41.660 --> 00:20:42.500
 was only temporary

00:20:42.500 --> 00:20:44.460
 because he did

00:20:44.460 --> 00:20:45.200
 eventually die

00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:45.900
 of old age.

00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:47.819
 1 Kings 2,

00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:48.319
 verse 10

00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:48.960
 tells us that

00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:49.619
 David's buried

00:20:49.619 --> 00:20:50.519
 in the city of David.

00:20:50.619 --> 00:20:51.000
 You can go

00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:51.700
 and visit it.

00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:53.859
 And his body

00:20:53.859 --> 00:20:55.640
 has been thoroughly

00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:56.420
 decomposed.

00:20:57.779 --> 00:20:58.880
 And for that reason,

00:20:59.000 --> 00:20:59.920
 Peter argues

00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:00.980
 that David

00:21:00.980 --> 00:21:01.680
 was speaking

00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:02.599
 prophetically

00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:04.380
 of a Messianic King

00:21:04.380 --> 00:21:04.980
 who would come

00:21:04.980 --> 00:21:06.539
 from his dynastic line

00:21:06.539 --> 00:21:07.740
 who will overcome

00:21:07.740 --> 00:21:08.680
 death once

00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:09.400
 and for all.

00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:11.600
 So then a thousand years

00:21:11.600 --> 00:21:13.820
 before Jesus is born,

00:21:14.820 --> 00:21:16.259
 there's a prophecy

00:21:16.259 --> 00:21:17.220
 of his resurrection.

00:21:19.280 --> 00:21:20.220
 It's possible

00:21:20.220 --> 00:21:21.280
 for a spirit-inspired

00:21:21.280 --> 00:21:22.000
 prophetic speech

00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:22.980
 to have double meaning

00:21:22.980 --> 00:21:23.400
 like this.

00:21:23.460 --> 00:21:24.180
 We see an example

00:21:24.180 --> 00:21:25.480
 of it in John

00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:26.140
 chapter 11,

00:21:26.220 --> 00:21:27.360
 verse 49-51

00:21:27.360 --> 00:21:29.140
 when Caiaphas

00:21:29.140 --> 00:21:30.500
 talks about

00:21:30.500 --> 00:21:33.580
 how it's advantageous

00:21:33.580 --> 00:21:33.960
 politically

00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:35.360
 for them to kill

00:21:35.360 --> 00:21:35.940
 Jesus

00:21:35.940 --> 00:21:37.540
 so to suppress

00:21:37.540 --> 00:21:38.140
 the movement

00:21:38.140 --> 00:21:39.240
 and not

00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:41.779
 incur the wrath

00:21:41.779 --> 00:21:42.220
 of the Romans.

00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:43.980
 But that prophecy

00:21:43.980 --> 00:21:44.980
 actually ends up

00:21:44.980 --> 00:21:45.859
 having a double meaning

00:21:45.859 --> 00:21:46.660
 because he says

00:21:46.660 --> 00:21:47.420
 it is better

00:21:47.420 --> 00:21:48.140
 for one man

00:21:48.140 --> 00:21:49.259
 to die for the people.

00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:51.339
 It ends up speaking

00:21:51.339 --> 00:21:52.180
 through the spirit

00:21:52.180 --> 00:21:53.839
 of the death

00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:55.920
 of Jesus Christ

00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:57.480
 as an atoning sacrifice

00:21:57.480 --> 00:21:58.259
 for the salvation

00:21:58.259 --> 00:21:58.839
 of his people.

00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:03.960
 And so that's

00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:05.039
 what's happening here

00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:06.180
 in Psalm 16 as well.

00:22:06.299 --> 00:22:06.960
 What David said

00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:07.720
 was true

00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:08.720
 of his own situation

00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:10.039
 but it's true

00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:11.259
 in an even deeper sense

00:22:11.259 --> 00:22:12.480
 with Christ's situation

00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:13.559
 because David

00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:14.460
 was prophesying

00:22:14.460 --> 00:22:15.500
 that the messianic king

00:22:15.500 --> 00:22:16.200
 would be raised

00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:16.900
 from the dead.

00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:18.660
 Though he would

00:22:18.660 --> 00:22:19.480
 enter Hades

00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:20.660
 the realm of the dead

00:22:20.660 --> 00:22:21.559
 he would not

00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:22.799
 be abandoned there.

00:22:23.380 --> 00:22:24.579
 Though he would die

00:22:24.579 --> 00:22:25.279
 his body

00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:26.160
 would not see

00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:26.759
 corruption

00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:29.000
 he would be raised

00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:29.519
 from the dead

00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:30.460
 to enjoy fullness

00:22:30.460 --> 00:22:31.299
 of life

00:22:31.299 --> 00:22:32.079
 in God's presence.

00:22:33.460 --> 00:22:34.259
 And Peter

00:22:34.259 --> 00:22:35.000
 along with the rest

00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:35.559
 of the apostles

00:22:35.559 --> 00:22:37.200
 personally witness this.

00:22:37.740 --> 00:22:38.179
 Peter says

00:22:38.179 --> 00:22:38.940
 in verse 32

00:22:38.940 --> 00:22:40.139
 this Jesus

00:22:40.139 --> 00:22:41.339
 God raised up

00:22:41.339 --> 00:22:42.319
 and of that

00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:43.079
 we all

00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:44.099
 are witnesses.

00:22:46.419 --> 00:22:47.740
 Jesus' disciples

00:22:47.740 --> 00:22:48.460
 did not

00:22:48.460 --> 00:22:49.319
 anticipate

00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:50.139
 the resurrection

00:22:50.139 --> 00:22:52.099
 because the Jews

00:22:52.099 --> 00:22:52.899
 did not have

00:22:52.899 --> 00:22:53.579
 an expectation

00:22:53.579 --> 00:22:54.619
 for a resurrection

00:22:54.619 --> 00:22:55.399
 like Jesus.

00:22:57.399 --> 00:22:58.619
 They expected

00:22:58.619 --> 00:22:59.259
 a resurrection

00:22:59.259 --> 00:23:00.159
 a general resurrection

00:23:00.159 --> 00:23:00.759
 at the end

00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:01.379
 of the days.

00:23:01.380 --> 00:23:05.120
 And when they

00:23:05.120 --> 00:23:06.160
 first saw Jesus

00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:07.280
 risen from the dead

00:23:07.280 --> 00:23:08.280
 it says in Luke 24

00:23:08.280 --> 00:23:08.960
 verse 37

00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:09.500
 that they were

00:23:09.500 --> 00:23:10.600
 startled and frightened

00:23:10.600 --> 00:23:11.960
 and thought they saw

00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:12.820
 a spirit.

00:23:14.700 --> 00:23:15.940
 Jesus' resurrection

00:23:15.940 --> 00:23:17.540
 is not a mere

00:23:17.540 --> 00:23:18.040
 myth

00:23:18.040 --> 00:23:19.300
 or metaphor.

00:23:20.520 --> 00:23:21.720
 It's a fact

00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:22.300
 of history

00:23:22.300 --> 00:23:22.960
 as real

00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:23.860
 as his death

00:23:23.860 --> 00:23:24.500
 on the cross.

00:23:26.660 --> 00:23:27.580
 This is a

00:23:27.580 --> 00:23:28.120
 distinguishing

00:23:28.120 --> 00:23:28.700
 characteristic

00:23:28.700 --> 00:23:29.360
 of Christianity.

00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:32.000
 Islam

00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:32.500
 began

00:23:32.500 --> 00:23:32.779
 with

00:23:32.779 --> 00:23:33.319
 private

00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:33.759
 visions

00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:34.019
 that

00:23:34.019 --> 00:23:34.379
 Muhammad

00:23:34.379 --> 00:23:34.679
 had

00:23:34.679 --> 00:23:35.259
 in a cave

00:23:35.259 --> 00:23:36.399
 which can

00:23:36.399 --> 00:23:36.919
 never be

00:23:36.919 --> 00:23:37.459
 historically

00:23:37.459 --> 00:23:38.000
 verified.

00:23:39.719 --> 00:23:40.000
 Buddhism

00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:40.500
 similarly

00:23:40.500 --> 00:23:40.899
 does not

00:23:40.899 --> 00:23:41.279
 stem

00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.539
 from

00:23:41.539 --> 00:23:42.119
 historical

00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:42.699
 events

00:23:42.699 --> 00:23:43.119
 but from

00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:43.279
 the

00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:43.679
 personal

00:23:43.679 --> 00:23:44.419
 philosophical

00:23:44.419 --> 00:23:45.019
 musings

00:23:45.019 --> 00:23:45.240
 of

00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:45.659
 Siddhartha

00:23:45.659 --> 00:23:46.119
 Gautama.

00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:48.419
 The veracity

00:23:48.419 --> 00:23:48.899
 of neither

00:23:48.899 --> 00:23:49.299
 religion

00:23:49.299 --> 00:23:49.639
 can be

00:23:49.639 --> 00:23:50.059
 established

00:23:50.059 --> 00:23:50.619
 from a

00:23:50.619 --> 00:23:51.000
 historical

00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:51.439
 standpoint.

00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:52.599
 But

00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:53.159
 Christianity

00:23:53.159 --> 00:23:53.839
 makes

00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:54.519
 historical

00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:55.019
 claims.

00:23:55.179 --> 00:23:55.339
 This

00:23:55.339 --> 00:23:55.919
 Jesus

00:23:55.919 --> 00:23:56.639
 God

00:23:56.639 --> 00:23:57.339
 raised up

00:23:57.339 --> 00:23:57.599
 and of

00:23:57.599 --> 00:23:57.859
 that

00:23:57.859 --> 00:23:58.500
 we all

00:23:58.500 --> 00:23:58.719
 are

00:23:58.719 --> 00:23:59.279
 witnesses.

00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:00.079
 This

00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:00.319
 is a

00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:00.779
 historical

00:24:00.779 --> 00:24:01.219
 claim

00:24:01.219 --> 00:24:01.479
 that's

00:24:01.479 --> 00:24:01.719
 either

00:24:01.719 --> 00:24:02.219
 true

00:24:02.219 --> 00:24:02.740
 or

00:24:02.740 --> 00:24:03.259
 false

00:24:03.259 --> 00:24:04.599
 and

00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:04.779
 the

00:24:04.779 --> 00:24:05.379
 entirety

00:24:05.379 --> 00:24:05.639
 of

00:24:05.639 --> 00:24:06.079
 Christianity

00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:06.559
 depends

00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:07.039
 on it.

00:24:08.399 --> 00:24:08.879
 1 Corinthians

00:24:08.879 --> 00:24:09.319
 15

00:24:10.199 --> 00:24:10.559
 Christ

00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:10.740
 has

00:24:10.740 --> 00:24:11.039
 not

00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:11.279

00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:11.679
 raised

00:24:11.679 --> 00:24:12.079
 then

00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:12.299
 our

00:24:12.299 --> 00:24:12.740
 preaching

00:24:12.740 --> 00:24:13.000
 is

00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:13.199
 in

00:24:13.199 --> 00:24:13.539
 vain

00:24:13.539 --> 00:24:14.139
 and

00:24:14.139 --> 00:24:14.339
 your

00:24:14.339 --> 00:24:14.819
 faith

00:24:14.819 --> 00:24:15.059
 is

00:24:15.059 --> 00:24:15.259
 in

00:24:15.259 --> 00:24:15.559
 vain.

00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:17.379
 And

00:24:17.379 --> 00:24:17.959
 generation

00:24:17.959 --> 00:24:18.379
 after

00:24:18.379 --> 00:24:18.939
 generation

00:24:18.939 --> 00:24:19.240
 of

00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:19.719
 Christians

00:24:19.719 --> 00:24:20.359
 since

00:24:20.359 --> 00:24:20.639
 then

00:24:20.639 --> 00:24:20.959
 have

00:24:20.959 --> 00:24:21.259
 been

00:24:21.259 --> 00:24:21.659
 bearing

00:24:21.659 --> 00:24:22.279
 witness

00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:22.839
 to

00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:23.039
 the

00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:23.379
 fact

00:24:23.379 --> 00:24:23.639
 that

00:24:23.639 --> 00:24:24.039
 Jesus

00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:24.639
 was

00:24:24.639 --> 00:24:25.139
 raised

00:24:25.139 --> 00:24:25.759
 from

00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:25.939
 the

00:24:25.939 --> 00:24:26.240
 dead.

00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:30.019
 And

00:24:30.019 --> 00:24:30.179
 it's

00:24:30.179 --> 00:24:30.719
 precisely

00:24:30.719 --> 00:24:31.299
 because

00:24:31.299 --> 00:24:31.679
 Jesus

00:24:31.679 --> 00:24:31.919
 was

00:24:31.919 --> 00:24:32.219
 raised

00:24:32.219 --> 00:24:32.419
 from

00:24:32.419 --> 00:24:32.559
 the

00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:32.819
 dead,

00:24:33.379 --> 00:24:33.779
 precisely

00:24:33.779 --> 00:24:34.379
 because

00:24:34.379 --> 00:24:34.819
 Jesus

00:24:34.819 --> 00:24:35.219
 has

00:24:35.219 --> 00:24:35.659
 ascended

00:24:35.659 --> 00:24:35.879
 to

00:24:35.879 --> 00:24:36.219
 heaven,

00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:36.899
 that

00:24:36.899 --> 00:24:37.000
 he's

00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:37.179
 now

00:24:37.179 --> 00:24:37.399
 able

00:24:37.399 --> 00:24:37.579
 to

00:24:37.579 --> 00:24:37.799
 pour

00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:37.959
 out

00:24:37.959 --> 00:24:38.079
 the

00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:38.259
 Holy

00:24:38.259 --> 00:24:38.599
 Spirit.

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:40.279
 Peter

00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:40.519
 says

00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:40.639
 in

00:24:40.639 --> 00:24:40.779
 verse

00:24:40.779 --> 00:24:41.279

00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:41.659
 being

00:24:41.660 --> 00:24:42.080
 therefore

00:24:42.080 --> 00:24:42.680
 exalted

00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:42.860
 at

00:24:42.860 --> 00:24:42.980

00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:43.779
 God

00:24:43.779 --> 00:24:44.380
 and

00:24:44.380 --> 00:24:44.640
 having

00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:45.080
 received

00:24:45.080 --> 00:24:45.360

00:24:45.560 --> 00:24:45.820
 Father

00:24:45.820 --> 00:24:46.019
 the

00:24:46.019 --> 00:24:46.340
 promise

00:24:46.340 --> 00:24:46.560
 of

00:24:46.560 --> 00:24:46.680
 the

00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:46.880
 Holy

00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:47.279
 Spirit,

00:24:47.800 --> 00:24:47.900
 he

00:24:47.900 --> 00:24:48.100
 has

00:24:48.100 --> 00:24:48.460
 poured

00:24:48.460 --> 00:24:48.720
 out

00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:49.000
 this

00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:49.180
 that

00:24:49.180 --> 00:24:49.300
 you

00:24:49.300 --> 00:24:49.779
 yourselves

00:24:49.779 --> 00:24:50.040
 are

00:24:50.040 --> 00:24:50.460
 seeing

00:24:50.460 --> 00:24:50.660
 and

00:24:50.660 --> 00:24:50.960
 hearing.

00:24:52.380 --> 00:24:52.620
 And

00:24:52.620 --> 00:24:52.800
 this

00:24:52.800 --> 00:24:53.040
 too

00:24:53.040 --> 00:24:53.220
 is

00:24:53.220 --> 00:24:53.340
 a

00:24:53.340 --> 00:24:53.740
 fulfillment

00:25:00.460 --> 00:25:00.560
 For

00:25:00.560 --> 00:25:00.860
 David

00:25:00.860 --> 00:25:01.080
 did

00:25:01.080 --> 00:25:01.259
 not

 the

00:25:03.800 --> 00:25:04.000
 Lord

00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:04.680
 my

 Lord,

00:25:11.660 --> 00:25:12.019
 scene

00:25:12.019 --> 00:25:12.420
 where

00:25:12.420 --> 00:25:13.519
 God

00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:14.140
 basically

00:25:14.140 --> 00:25:15.440
 appoints

00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:15.680
 someone,

00:25:15.800 --> 00:25:16.000
 puts

00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:16.340
 someone

00:25:16.340 --> 00:25:16.720
 on the

00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:17.040
 throne.

00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:18.279
 And

00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:20.140
 David

00:25:20.140 --> 00:25:20.340
 says,

00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:20.460
 the

00:25:20.460 --> 00:25:20.640
 Lord

00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:20.840
 said

00:25:20.840 --> 00:25:20.960
 to

00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:21.080
 my

00:25:21.080 --> 00:25:21.340
 Lord,

00:25:21.460 --> 00:25:21.620
 sit

00:25:21.620 --> 00:25:21.740
 at

00:25:21.740 --> 00:25:21.860
 my

00:25:22.080 --> 00:25:22.320

00:25:22.320 --> 00:25:22.519
 until

00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:22.660
 I

00:25:22.660 --> 00:25:22.860
 make

00:25:22.860 --> 00:25:22.980

00:25:23.259 --> 00:25:23.440

00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:23.980
 footstool.

00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:24.700
 So

00:25:24.700 --> 00:25:24.840
 the

00:25:24.840 --> 00:25:25.100
 right

00:25:26.600 --> 00:25:26.960
 honor

00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:27.259
 and

00:25:27.259 --> 00:25:27.720
 power

00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:27.880
 and

00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:28.380
 authority.

00:25:29.060 --> 00:25:29.160
 It's

00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:29.360
 the

00:25:29.360 --> 00:25:29.920
 place

00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:30.120
 of

00:25:30.120 --> 00:25:30.279
 the

00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:30.540
 second

00:25:30.540 --> 00:25:30.720
 in

00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:30.960
 command,

00:25:31.080 --> 00:25:31.160
 the

00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:31.420
 king's

00:25:31.420 --> 00:25:31.640

00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:32.100
 trusted

00:25:32.100 --> 00:25:32.460
 agent.

00:25:33.460 --> 00:25:33.560
 But

00:25:33.560 --> 00:25:33.820
 this

00:25:33.820 --> 00:25:34.420
 identity

00:25:34.420 --> 00:25:34.900
 of

00:25:34.900 --> 00:25:35.140
 the

00:25:35.140 --> 00:25:35.580
 second

00:25:35.580 --> 00:25:36.120
 Lord,

00:25:36.320 --> 00:25:36.540
 who

00:25:36.540 --> 00:25:36.700
 is

00:25:36.700 --> 00:25:36.880
 this

00:25:41.660 --> 00:25:41.900
 that

00:25:41.900 --> 00:25:42.080
 has

00:25:42.080 --> 00:25:42.500
 baffled

00:25:42.500 --> 00:25:42.860
 Jews

00:25:42.860 --> 00:25:43.100
 for

00:25:43.100 --> 00:25:43.400
 hundreds

00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:43.580
 of

00:25:43.580 --> 00:25:43.860
 years?

00:25:45.259 --> 00:25:45.820
 Because

00:25:45.820 --> 00:25:46.040
 the

00:25:46.040 --> 00:25:46.500
 subtitle

00:25:46.500 --> 00:25:46.759
 of the

00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:47.019
 psalm

00:25:47.019 --> 00:25:47.200
 says,

00:25:47.380 --> 00:25:47.400
 a

00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:47.740
 psalm

00:25:47.740 --> 00:25:47.940
 of

00:25:47.940 --> 00:25:48.320
 David,

00:25:49.180 --> 00:25:49.620

00:25:49.620 --> 00:25:49.920
 David

00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:50.300
 is

00:25:50.300 --> 00:25:50.460
 the

00:25:50.460 --> 00:25:50.660
 king

00:25:50.660 --> 00:25:50.800
 of

00:25:50.800 --> 00:25:51.140
 Israel.

00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:52.380
 So

00:25:52.380 --> 00:25:52.620
 who

00:25:52.620 --> 00:25:52.820
 is

00:25:52.820 --> 00:25:53.120
 this

00:25:53.120 --> 00:25:53.680
 king

00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:54.440
 that

00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:55.040
 David

00:25:55.040 --> 00:25:55.360
 is

00:25:55.360 --> 00:25:55.920
 calling

00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:56.640
 Lord?

00:25:58.640 --> 00:25:59.200
 When

00:25:59.200 --> 00:25:59.360
 he

00:25:59.360 --> 00:25:59.560
 says,

00:25:59.720 --> 00:25:59.740
 the

00:25:59.740 --> 00:26:00.080
 Lord

00:26:00.080 --> 00:26:00.580
 God

00:26:00.580 --> 00:26:00.840
 said

00:26:00.840 --> 00:26:01.000
 to

00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:01.300
 my

00:26:01.300 --> 00:26:01.779
 Lord,

00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:03.340
 this

00:26:03.340 --> 00:26:03.480
 is

00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:03.880
 exactly

00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:04.100
 the

00:26:04.100 --> 00:26:04.360
 argument

00:26:04.360 --> 00:26:04.580
 that

00:26:04.580 --> 00:26:04.820
 Jesus

00:26:04.820 --> 00:26:05.279
 himself

00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:05.580
 used

00:26:05.580 --> 00:26:05.720
 in

00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:05.920
 Luke

00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:06.240
 chapter

00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:06.600
 20

00:26:06.600 --> 00:26:06.820
 to

00:26:06.820 --> 00:26:07.040
 prove

00:26:07.040 --> 00:26:07.200
 that

00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:07.519
 he

00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:07.800
 is

00:26:07.800 --> 00:26:07.940
 the

00:26:07.940 --> 00:26:08.480
 messianic

00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:08.840
 king

00:26:08.840 --> 00:26:09.279
 that

00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:09.640
 David

00:26:09.640 --> 00:26:09.820
 is

00:26:09.820 --> 00:26:10.200
 calling

00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:10.720
 Lord

00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:11.720
 in

00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:11.960
 that

00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:12.440
 psalm.

00:26:14.300 --> 00:26:14.840
 Peter

00:26:14.840 --> 00:26:15.140
 makes

00:26:15.140 --> 00:26:15.300
 the

00:26:15.300 --> 00:26:15.520
 same

00:26:15.520 --> 00:26:15.800
 point

00:26:15.800 --> 00:26:15.940
 but

00:26:15.940 --> 00:26:16.100
 from

00:26:16.100 --> 00:26:16.200
 a

00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:16.420
 different

00:26:16.420 --> 00:26:16.759
 angle.

00:26:17.040 --> 00:26:17.120
 He

00:26:17.120 --> 00:26:17.480
 argues

00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:17.660
 that

00:26:17.660 --> 00:26:17.940
 David

00:26:17.940 --> 00:26:18.180
 could

00:26:18.180 --> 00:26:18.340
 not

00:26:18.340 --> 00:26:18.840
 possibly

00:26:18.840 --> 00:26:19.060
 be

00:26:19.060 --> 00:26:19.240
 the

00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:19.500
 Lord

00:26:19.500 --> 00:26:19.780
 that's

00:26:19.780 --> 00:26:19.900
 in

00:26:19.900 --> 00:26:20.020
 view

00:26:20.020 --> 00:26:20.140
 in

00:26:20.140 --> 00:26:20.320
 that

00:26:20.320 --> 00:26:20.680
 psalm

00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:21.440
 because

00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:21.759
 God

00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:22.080
 says

00:26:22.080 --> 00:26:22.259
 to

00:26:22.259 --> 00:26:22.460
 him,

00:26:22.600 --> 00:26:22.780
 sit

00:26:22.780 --> 00:26:22.960
 at

00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:23.259
 my

00:26:23.259 --> 00:26:23.660
 right

00:26:23.660 --> 00:26:24.040
 hand

00:26:24.040 --> 00:26:25.000
 because

00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:25.360
 David

00:26:25.360 --> 00:26:25.740
 never

00:26:25.740 --> 00:26:26.280
 ascended

00:26:26.280 --> 00:26:26.540
 into

00:26:26.540 --> 00:26:27.860
 the

00:26:27.860 --> 00:26:28.140
 heavens.

00:26:28.259 --> 00:26:28.580
 Israel

00:26:28.580 --> 00:26:29.200
 kings

00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:29.920
 reigned

00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:30.140
 at

00:26:30.140 --> 00:26:30.480
 God's

00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:30.800
 behest

00:26:30.800 --> 00:26:30.980
 but

00:26:30.980 --> 00:26:31.140
 they

00:26:31.140 --> 00:26:31.440
 never

00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:31.940
 sat

00:26:31.940 --> 00:26:32.400
 at

00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:32.580
 the

00:26:32.580 --> 00:26:32.900
 right

00:26:32.900 --> 00:26:33.280
 hand

00:26:33.280 --> 00:26:33.460
 of

00:26:33.460 --> 00:26:34.340
 God's

00:26:34.340 --> 00:26:34.620
 heavenly

00:26:34.620 --> 00:26:34.980
 throne.

00:26:36.660 --> 00:26:37.220
 So

00:26:37.220 --> 00:26:37.440
 this

00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:41.740
 it's

00:26:41.740 --> 00:26:41.860
 a

00:26:41.860 --> 00:26:42.120
 reference

00:26:42.120 --> 00:26:42.360
 to

00:26:42.360 --> 00:26:42.720
 Jesus

00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:43.020
 the

00:26:43.020 --> 00:26:43.180
 Son

00:26:43.180 --> 00:26:43.320
 of

00:26:43.320 --> 00:26:43.600
 God

00:26:43.600 --> 00:26:44.060
 the

00:26:44.060 --> 00:26:44.600
 messianic

00:26:44.600 --> 00:26:44.840
 king.

00:26:45.740 --> 00:26:45.920
 And so

00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:46.140
 Peter

00:26:46.140 --> 00:26:46.600
 concludes

00:26:46.600 --> 00:26:46.740
 in

00:26:46.740 --> 00:26:47.380
 verse 36

00:26:47.380 --> 00:26:47.780
 let all

00:26:47.780 --> 00:26:47.940
 the

00:26:47.940 --> 00:26:48.220
 house

00:26:48.220 --> 00:26:48.400
 of

00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:48.759
 Israel

00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:49.080
 therefore

00:26:49.080 --> 00:26:49.440
 know

00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:49.640
 for

00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:50.060
 certain

00:26:50.060 --> 00:26:50.600
 that

00:26:50.600 --> 00:26:50.920
 God

00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:51.160
 has

00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:51.400
 made

00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:51.740
 him

00:26:51.740 --> 00:26:52.000
 both

00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:52.420
 Lord

00:26:52.420 --> 00:26:52.740
 and

00:26:52.740 --> 00:26:53.259
 Christ

00:26:53.259 --> 00:26:53.780
 this

00:26:53.780 --> 00:26:54.180
 Jesus

00:26:54.180 --> 00:26:54.500
 whom

00:26:54.500 --> 00:26:54.800
 you

00:26:54.800 --> 00:26:55.420
 crucified.

00:26:56.500 --> 00:26:57.040
 Jesus

00:26:57.040 --> 00:26:57.280
 is

00:26:57.280 --> 00:26:57.540
 both

00:26:57.540 --> 00:26:58.000
 Lord

00:26:58.000 --> 00:26:58.340
 and

00:26:58.340 --> 00:26:58.840
 Christ.

00:27:00.100 --> 00:27:00.640
 God

00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:00.759
 has

00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:00.940
 made

00:27:00.940 --> 00:27:01.100
 him

00:27:01.100 --> 00:27:01.500
 Lord.

00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:02.300
 That

00:27:02.300 --> 00:27:02.440
 means

00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:02.620
 he's

00:27:02.620 --> 00:27:02.820
 given

00:27:02.820 --> 00:27:03.120
 all

00:27:03.120 --> 00:27:03.500
 authority

00:27:03.500 --> 00:27:03.700
 in

00:27:03.700 --> 00:27:03.880
 heaven

00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:04.040
 and

00:27:04.040 --> 00:27:04.220
 earth

00:27:04.220 --> 00:27:04.380
 to

00:27:04.380 --> 00:27:04.560
 him.

00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:05.100
 He

00:27:05.100 --> 00:27:05.200
 has

00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:05.400
 been

00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:05.860
 raised

00:27:05.860 --> 00:27:06.180
 above

00:27:06.180 --> 00:27:06.680
 every

00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:06.960
 name

00:27:09.640 --> 00:27:12.160
 God

00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:12.300
 has

00:27:12.300 --> 00:27:12.660
 subjected

00:27:12.660 --> 00:27:12.940
 all

00:27:12.940 --> 00:27:13.380
 things

00:27:13.380 --> 00:27:13.700
 under

00:27:13.700 --> 00:27:13.980
 him.

00:27:14.320 --> 00:27:14.600
 That's

00:27:14.600 --> 00:27:14.720
 what

00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:14.840
 it

00:27:14.840 --> 00:27:15.080
 means

00:27:15.080 --> 00:27:15.259
 to

00:27:15.259 --> 00:27:15.400
 be

00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:15.820
 made

00:27:15.820 --> 00:27:16.259
 Lord.

00:27:17.040 --> 00:27:17.440
 God

00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:17.560
 has

00:27:17.560 --> 00:27:17.800
 also

00:27:17.800 --> 00:27:18.020
 made

00:27:18.020 --> 00:27:18.400
 Jesus

00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:19.120
 Christ

00:27:19.120 --> 00:27:19.780
 which

00:27:19.780 --> 00:27:20.000
 means

00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:20.460
 anointed

00:27:20.460 --> 00:27:20.940
 one.

00:27:21.300 --> 00:27:21.380
 He

00:27:21.380 --> 00:27:21.520
 is

00:27:21.520 --> 00:27:21.660
 the

00:27:21.660 --> 00:27:22.140
 promised

00:27:22.140 --> 00:27:23.060
 messianic

00:27:23.060 --> 00:27:23.500
 king

00:27:23.500 --> 00:27:24.259
 who

00:27:24.259 --> 00:27:24.540
 brings

00:27:24.540 --> 00:27:24.880
 forth

00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:25.040
 the

00:27:25.040 --> 00:27:25.259
 kingdom

00:27:25.259 --> 00:27:25.460
 of

00:27:25.460 --> 00:27:25.759
 God.

00:27:26.380 --> 00:27:26.560
 And

00:27:26.560 --> 00:27:26.980
 this

00:27:26.980 --> 00:27:27.400
 according

00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:27.640
 to

00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:27.880
 Peter

00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:28.100
 is

00:27:28.100 --> 00:27:28.300
 what

00:27:28.300 --> 00:27:28.940
 Pentecost

00:27:28.940 --> 00:27:29.140
 is

00:27:29.140 --> 00:27:29.360
 all

00:27:29.360 --> 00:27:29.700
 about.

00:27:30.800 --> 00:27:31.220
 The

00:27:31.220 --> 00:27:31.800
 outpouring

00:27:31.800 --> 00:27:32.100
 of the

00:27:32.100 --> 00:27:32.280
 Holy

00:27:32.280 --> 00:27:32.620
 Spirit

00:27:32.620 --> 00:27:32.840
 is

00:27:32.840 --> 00:27:33.060
 for

00:27:33.060 --> 00:27:33.480
 Peter

00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:34.140
 proof

00:27:34.140 --> 00:27:34.620
 that

00:27:34.620 --> 00:27:34.980
 Jesus

00:27:34.980 --> 00:27:35.460
 is

00:27:35.460 --> 00:27:35.680
 the

00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:36.020
 risen

00:27:36.020 --> 00:27:36.420
 and

00:27:36.420 --> 00:27:37.040
 ascended

00:27:37.040 --> 00:27:37.400
 Lord.

00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:40.440
 Because

00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:40.880
 only

00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:41.240
 such

00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:41.560
 Lord

00:27:41.560 --> 00:27:41.860
 could

00:27:41.860 --> 00:27:42.140
 pour

00:27:42.140 --> 00:27:42.280
 out

00:27:42.280 --> 00:27:42.420
 the

00:27:42.420 --> 00:27:42.640
 Spirit

00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:42.800
 of

00:27:42.800 --> 00:27:43.040
 God

00:27:43.040 --> 00:27:43.340
 as

00:27:43.340 --> 00:27:45.320
 they

00:27:45.320 --> 00:27:45.480
 were

00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:45.820
 witnessing

00:27:45.820 --> 00:27:45.980
 at

00:27:45.980 --> 00:27:46.080
 the

00:27:46.080 --> 00:27:46.340
 time.

 people

00:29:51.940 --> 00:29:52.680
 and

00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:52.839
 if

00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:52.980
 we

00:29:52.980 --> 00:29:53.120
 are

00:29:53.120 --> 00:29:53.480
 not

00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:53.960
 preaching

00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:54.500
 this

00:29:54.500 --> 00:29:55.059
 crucified

00:29:55.059 --> 00:29:55.980
 risen

00:29:55.980 --> 00:29:56.480
 and

00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:57.019
 ascended

00:29:57.019 --> 00:29:57.600
 Christ

00:29:57.599 --> 00:29:59.000
 then

00:29:59.000 --> 00:29:59.179
 we

00:29:59.179 --> 00:29:59.439
 have

00:29:59.439 --> 00:29:59.679
 no

00:29:59.679 --> 00:30:00.319
 business

00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:01.000
 being

00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:01.179
 in

00:30:01.179 --> 00:30:01.539
 business

00:30:01.539 --> 00:30:01.740
 at

00:30:01.740 --> 00:30:01.980
 all

00:30:01.980 --> 00:30:07.480
 do

00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:07.619
 you

00:30:07.619 --> 00:30:08.039
 proclaim

00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:08.299
 the

00:30:08.299 --> 00:30:08.559
 risen

00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:08.939
 Lord

00:30:08.939 --> 00:30:09.240
 Jesus

00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:09.740
 Christ

00:30:09.740 --> 00:30:13.199
 with

00:30:13.199 --> 00:30:13.339
 your

00:30:13.339 --> 00:30:13.639
 family

00:30:13.639 --> 00:30:14.139
 members

00:30:14.139 --> 00:30:14.719
 with

00:30:14.719 --> 00:30:14.859
 your

00:30:14.859 --> 00:30:15.379
 friends

00:30:15.379 --> 00:30:16.139
 with

00:30:16.139 --> 00:30:16.279
 your

00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:16.639
 neighbors

00:30:16.639 --> 00:30:20.980
 it's

00:30:20.980 --> 00:30:21.339
 scary

00:30:21.339 --> 00:30:21.719
 yes

00:30:21.719 --> 00:30:23.579
 note that

00:30:23.579 --> 00:30:24.159
 speaking in

00:30:24.159 --> 00:30:24.459
 front of

00:30:24.459 --> 00:30:24.899
 thousands of

00:30:24.899 --> 00:30:25.119
 people

00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:25.459
 probably

00:30:25.459 --> 00:30:25.699
 didn't

00:30:25.699 --> 00:30:25.939
 come

00:30:25.939 --> 00:30:26.319
 naturally

00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:26.500
 to

00:30:26.500 --> 00:30:26.759
 Peter

00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:27.500
 who

00:30:27.500 --> 00:30:27.740
 was a

00:30:27.740 --> 00:30:28.039
 fisherman

00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:28.279
 by

00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:28.660
 trade

00:30:28.660 --> 00:30:31.319
 Peter

00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:31.799
 was also

00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:32.099
 very

00:30:32.099 --> 00:30:32.420
 aware

00:30:32.420 --> 00:30:32.619
 that

00:30:32.619 --> 00:30:32.940
 just a

00:30:32.940 --> 00:30:33.119
 few

00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:33.359
 weeks

00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:33.579
 ago

00:30:33.579 --> 00:30:33.779
 they

00:30:33.779 --> 00:30:34.240
 killed

00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:34.900
 Jesus

00:30:34.900 --> 00:30:37.019
 his

00:30:37.019 --> 00:30:37.420
 master

00:30:37.420 --> 00:30:38.799
 he

00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:39.119
 knows

00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:39.279
 that

00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:39.400
 he

00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:39.539
 is

00:30:39.539 --> 00:30:40.079
 inviting

00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:40.379
 their

00:30:40.379 --> 00:30:40.900
 scrutiny

00:30:40.900 --> 00:30:41.920
 and

00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:42.420
 persecution

00:30:42.420 --> 00:30:43.180
 when

00:30:43.180 --> 00:30:43.319
 he

00:30:43.319 --> 00:30:43.759
 stands

00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:44.099
 up

00:30:44.099 --> 00:30:44.480
 to

00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:44.920
 proclaim

00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:45.160
 the

00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:45.559
 gospel

00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:46.099
 but

00:30:46.099 --> 00:30:46.259
 the

00:30:46.259 --> 00:30:46.539
 spirit

00:30:46.539 --> 00:30:46.740
 of

00:30:46.740 --> 00:30:47.019
 God

00:30:47.019 --> 00:30:47.559
 enables

00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:47.759
 him

00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:47.940
 to

00:30:47.940 --> 00:30:48.140
 do

00:30:48.140 --> 00:30:48.400
 it

00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:49.079
 and

00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:49.299
 when

00:30:49.299 --> 00:30:49.579
 he

00:30:49.579 --> 00:30:50.039
 does

00:30:50.039 --> 00:30:50.640
 faithfully

00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:50.879
 the

00:30:50.879 --> 00:30:51.200
 church

00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:51.680
 grows

00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:54.900
 that's

00:30:54.900 --> 00:30:55.140
 what we

00:30:55.140 --> 00:30:55.500
 see in

00:30:55.500 --> 00:30:55.680
 verses

00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:56.299
 37

00:30:56.299 --> 00:30:56.720
 to

00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:57.240
 41

00:30:57.240 --> 00:30:58.680
 it says

00:30:58.680 --> 00:30:58.799
 in

00:30:58.799 --> 00:30:59.480
 verse 37

00:30:59.480 --> 00:30:59.919
 now when

00:30:59.919 --> 00:31:00.519
 they heard

00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:00.899
 this

00:31:00.899 --> 00:31:01.859
 they were

00:31:01.859 --> 00:31:02.539
 cut to

00:31:02.539 --> 00:31:03.059
 the heart

00:31:03.059 --> 00:31:04.019
 and said

00:31:04.019 --> 00:31:04.539
 to Peter

00:31:04.539 --> 00:31:05.000
 and the rest

00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:05.180
 of the

00:31:05.180 --> 00:31:05.599
 apostles

00:31:05.599 --> 00:31:06.440
 brothers

00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:07.259
 what shall

00:31:07.259 --> 00:31:07.879
 we do

00:31:07.879 --> 00:31:11.079
 the Jews

00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:11.759
 in the audience

00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:12.619
 are pierced

00:31:12.619 --> 00:31:12.919
 in their

00:31:12.919 --> 00:31:13.419
 conscience

00:31:13.419 --> 00:31:14.240
 when they

00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:14.799
 hear Peter

00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:15.579
 say that

00:31:15.579 --> 00:31:16.019
 Jesus

00:31:16.019 --> 00:31:16.639
 that they

00:31:16.639 --> 00:31:17.339
 crucified

00:31:17.339 --> 00:31:18.299
 was the

00:31:18.299 --> 00:31:18.899
 messianic

00:31:18.899 --> 00:31:19.259
 king

00:31:19.259 --> 00:31:20.339
 who had

00:31:20.339 --> 00:31:20.680
 come to

00:31:20.680 --> 00:31:20.980
 save

00:31:20.980 --> 00:31:21.339
 them

00:31:21.339 --> 00:31:25.659
 when

00:31:25.659 --> 00:31:25.819
 the

00:31:25.819 --> 00:31:26.139
 movie

00:31:26.139 --> 00:31:26.559
 passion

00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:26.699
 of

00:31:26.699 --> 00:31:26.799
 the

00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:27.119
 Christ

00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:27.379
 first

00:31:27.379 --> 00:31:27.619
 came

00:31:27.619 --> 00:31:27.899
 out

00:31:27.899 --> 00:31:28.579
 which

00:31:28.579 --> 00:31:29.079
 portrays

00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:29.199
 the

00:31:29.199 --> 00:31:29.519
 suffering

00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:29.720
 and

00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:29.919
 death

00:31:29.919 --> 00:31:30.079
 of

00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:30.299
 Jesus

00:31:30.299 --> 00:31:30.740
 Christ

00:31:30.740 --> 00:31:31.319
 I

00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:31.559
 remember

00:31:31.559 --> 00:31:31.740
 there

00:31:31.740 --> 00:31:31.859
 was

00:31:31.859 --> 00:31:32.139
 a lot

00:31:32.139 --> 00:31:32.279
 of

00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:32.679
 debate

00:31:32.679 --> 00:31:32.899
 and

00:31:32.899 --> 00:31:33.480
 controversy

00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:34.720
 with

00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:34.899
 some

00:31:34.899 --> 00:31:35.159
 people

00:31:35.159 --> 00:31:35.599
 accusing

00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:35.839
 the

00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:36.099
 film

00:31:36.099 --> 00:31:36.339
 of

00:31:36.339 --> 00:31:37.139
 inflaming

00:31:37.139 --> 00:31:38.019
 anti-Semitism

00:31:38.019 --> 00:31:38.439
 because

00:31:38.439 --> 00:31:39.139
 of its

00:31:39.139 --> 00:31:39.500
 depiction

00:31:39.500 --> 00:31:40.019
 of Jewish

00:31:40.019 --> 00:31:40.480
 involvement

00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:40.819
 in the

00:31:40.819 --> 00:31:41.039
 killing

00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:41.199
 of

00:31:41.199 --> 00:31:41.480
 Jesus

00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:42.819
 while

00:31:42.819 --> 00:31:43.039
 still

00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:43.379
 others

00:31:43.379 --> 00:31:44.000
 expressing

00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:44.559
 concern

00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:44.779
 that

00:31:44.779 --> 00:31:45.159
 it's

00:31:45.159 --> 00:31:45.399
 well

00:31:45.399 --> 00:31:45.679
 if you're

00:31:45.679 --> 00:31:45.819
 going to

00:31:45.819 --> 00:31:46.019
 argue

00:31:46.019 --> 00:31:46.240
 that

00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:46.459
 you could

00:31:46.459 --> 00:31:46.699
 also

00:31:46.699 --> 00:31:46.919
 argue

00:31:46.919 --> 00:31:47.099
 that

00:31:47.099 --> 00:31:47.240
 it

00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:47.579
 fuels

00:31:47.579 --> 00:31:48.799
 anti-Italianism

00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:49.419
 through its

00:31:49.419 --> 00:31:49.759
 depiction

00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:50.180
 of Roman

00:31:50.180 --> 00:31:50.619
 officials

00:31:50.619 --> 00:31:52.720
 but

00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:53.099
 all of

00:31:53.099 --> 00:31:53.240
 this

00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:53.399
 is

00:31:53.399 --> 00:31:53.619
 missing

00:31:53.619 --> 00:31:53.819
 the

00:31:53.819 --> 00:31:54.119
 point

00:31:54.119 --> 00:31:55.079
 because

00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:55.440
 Christ

00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:55.879
 died

00:31:55.879 --> 00:31:56.220
 for

00:31:56.220 --> 00:31:56.639
 us

00:31:56.639 --> 00:31:57.059
 according

00:31:57.059 --> 00:31:57.299
 to

00:31:57.299 --> 00:31:57.480
 the

00:31:57.480 --> 00:31:57.879
 definite

00:31:57.879 --> 00:31:58.579
 plan

00:31:58.579 --> 00:31:58.819
 and

00:31:58.819 --> 00:31:59.399
 foreknowledge

00:31:59.399 --> 00:31:59.539
 of

00:31:59.539 --> 00:31:59.839
 God

00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:01.539
 as

00:32:01.539 --> 00:32:01.819
 Jesus

00:32:01.819 --> 00:32:02.119
 said

00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:02.259
 in

00:32:02.259 --> 00:32:02.519
 Matthew

00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:02.839
 chapter

00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:03.419
 26

00:32:03.419 --> 00:32:03.659
 verse

00:32:03.659 --> 00:32:04.139
 53

00:32:04.139 --> 00:32:04.779
 he

00:32:04.779 --> 00:32:05.119
 could

00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:07.440
 he

 yet

00:32:35.899 --> 00:32:36.279
 Jesus

 lay

 it

00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:55.779
 down

00:32:55.779 --> 00:32:55.960
 of

 my

00:32:56.220 --> 00:32:56.579
 own

00:32:56.579 --> 00:32:57.059
 accord

00:32:57.059 --> 00:32:58.059
 Jesus

00:33:02.899 --> 00:33:03.319
 life

00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:04.399
 because

00:33:04.399 --> 00:33:04.619
 it's

00:33:04.619 --> 00:33:04.759
 the

00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:05.000
 only

00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:05.319
 way

00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:05.519
 to

 save

 sinners

 me

00:33:07.819 --> 00:33:11.019
 and

00:33:11.019 --> 00:33:11.240
 so

00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:11.579
 that's

00:33:11.579 --> 00:33:11.919
 why

00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:13.099
 how deep

00:33:13.099 --> 00:33:13.259
 the

00:33:13.259 --> 00:33:13.639
 father's

00:33:13.639 --> 00:33:13.879
 love

00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:14.600
 is

00:33:14.600 --> 00:33:15.080
 correct

00:33:15.080 --> 00:33:16.700
 behold

00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:21.760
 ashamed

 habitual

00:36:42.119 --> 00:36:42.599
 thing

00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:43.460
 did

00:36:43.460 --> 00:36:43.579
 it

00:36:43.579 --> 00:36:43.900
 often

00:36:49.619 --> 00:36:56.859
 it

00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:02.579

00:37:02.579 --> 00:37:02.719
 we

 could

00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:07.940

00:37:07.940 --> 00:37:08.059
 it

00:37:08.059 --> 00:37:08.219
 says

 he

00:37:24.579 --> 00:37:24.980
 alone

00:37:24.980 --> 00:37:25.219
 can

00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:30.679
 we

00:37:32.179 --> 00:37:33.000
 we're

00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:33.199
 coming

00:37:33.199 --> 00:37:33.539

00:37:35.420 --> 00:37:35.699
 doing

00:37:35.699 --> 00:37:35.920

 we

00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:36.279
 become

 this

00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:41.739
 way

00:37:44.420 --> 00:37:44.940
 baptism

00:37:44.940 --> 00:37:45.319
 as

00:37:45.319 --> 00:37:45.759
 a

00:37:45.759 --> 00:37:46.179
 union

00:37:46.179 --> 00:37:47.019
 with

00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:48.039
 and

00:37:48.039 --> 00:37:48.500
 resurrection

00:37:48.500 --> 00:37:48.960
 we're

00:37:48.960 --> 00:37:49.300
 dying

00:37:49.300 --> 00:37:49.500
 to

00:37:49.500 --> 00:37:49.960
 ourselves

00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:50.500
 and

00:37:50.500 --> 00:37:50.659
 now

00:37:50.659 --> 00:37:51.019
 living

00:37:51.019 --> 00:37:51.300
 to

00:37:51.300 --> 00:37:51.679
 Christ

00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:51.940
 in

00:37:51.940 --> 00:37:52.059
 the

00:37:52.059 --> 00:37:52.380
 newness

00:37:52.380 --> 00:37:52.539
 of

00:37:52.539 --> 00:37:52.840
 life

00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:53.579
 by

00:37:53.579 --> 00:37:53.739
 the

00:37:53.739 --> 00:37:53.940
 power

00:37:53.940 --> 00:37:54.039
 of

00:37:54.039 --> 00:37:54.119
 the

00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:54.280
 Holy

00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:54.659
 Spirit

00:37:54.659 --> 00:37:58.079
 and

00:37:58.079 --> 00:37:58.280
 this

00:37:58.280 --> 00:37:58.719
 public

00:37:58.719 --> 00:37:59.059
 and

00:37:59.059 --> 00:37:59.539
 corporate

00:37:59.539 --> 00:38:00.119
 dimension

00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:00.500
 of

00:38:00.500 --> 00:38:00.880
 baptism

00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:01.219
 is

00:38:01.219 --> 00:38:01.440
 very

00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:01.940
 important

00:38:01.940 --> 00:38:03.900
 baptism

00:38:03.900 --> 00:38:04.199
 is

00:38:04.199 --> 00:38:04.360
 an

00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:04.759
 outward

00:38:04.759 --> 00:38:05.380
 expression

00:38:05.380 --> 00:38:05.659
 of

00:38:05.659 --> 00:38:05.800
 an

00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:06.280
 inward

00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:07.079
 faith

00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:10.599
 I'm

00:38:10.599 --> 00:38:10.759
 going to

00:38:10.759 --> 00:38:11.139
 talk about

00:38:11.139 --> 00:38:11.319
 this

00:38:11.319 --> 00:38:11.639
 because

00:38:11.639 --> 00:38:11.840
 we

00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:12.059
 actually

00:38:12.059 --> 00:38:12.380
 have

00:38:12.380 --> 00:38:12.860
 baptism

00:38:12.860 --> 00:38:13.340
 service

00:38:13.340 --> 00:38:13.799
 coming

00:38:13.799 --> 00:38:14.059
 up

00:38:14.059 --> 00:38:14.319
 we'll

00:38:14.319 --> 00:38:14.579
 probably

00:38:14.579 --> 00:38:14.779
 do

00:38:14.779 --> 00:38:14.940
 some

00:38:14.940 --> 00:38:15.400
 baptisms

00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:15.840
 on

00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:16.680
 Easter

00:38:16.680 --> 00:38:16.940
 on

00:38:16.940 --> 00:38:17.280
 resurrection

00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:17.800
 Sunday

00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:18.240
 first

00:38:18.240 --> 00:38:18.460
 Sunday

00:38:18.460 --> 00:38:18.579
 of

 April

00:38:18.860 --> 00:38:22.740

00:38:22.740 --> 00:38:23.880
 Christians

00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:24.360
 sometimes

00:38:24.360 --> 00:38:25.019
 talk

00:38:25.019 --> 00:38:25.920
 individualistically

00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:26.440
 about

00:38:26.440 --> 00:38:28.079
 salvation

00:38:28.079 --> 00:38:28.680
 as if

00:38:28.680 --> 00:38:29.539
 personal

00:38:29.539 --> 00:38:30.539
 repentance

00:38:30.539 --> 00:38:31.220
 and faith

00:38:31.220 --> 00:38:31.800
 is all

00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:32.160
 there is

00:38:32.160 --> 00:38:32.579
 to it

00:38:32.579 --> 00:38:33.579
 but the

00:41:35.460 --> 00:41:36.119
 entirely

00:41:36.119 --> 00:41:36.940

00:41:36.940 --> 00:41:37.059
 a

00:41:37.059 --> 00:41:37.220
 manner

00:41:37.220 --> 00:41:37.420
 that

00:41:37.420 --> 00:41:37.740
 fits

00:41:37.740 --> 00:41:37.980
 their

00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:39.340
 religion

00:41:39.340 --> 00:41:39.539
 so

00:41:39.539 --> 00:41:39.659
 that

00:41:39.659 --> 00:41:39.760
 it

00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:40.039
 doesn't

00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:40.340
 look

00:41:40.340 --> 00:41:40.579
 like

00:41:40.579 --> 00:41:40.700
 a

00:41:40.700 --> 00:41:40.980
 Christian

 order

00:41:42.720 --> 00:41:42.920
 to

00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:43.099
 help

00:41:43.099 --> 00:41:43.260
 them

00:41:43.260 --> 00:41:43.619
 avoid

 being

00:41:43.860 --> 00:41:44.480
 persecuted

00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:45.159
 and

00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:45.460
 perhaps

00:41:45.460 --> 00:41:45.800
 killed

00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:45.980
 by

00:41:45.980 --> 00:41:46.139
 the

00:41:46.139 --> 00:41:46.380
 members

00:41:46.380 --> 00:41:46.539
 of

00:41:46.820 --> 00:41:47.300
 families

00:41:47.300 --> 00:41:50.559
 while

00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:50.760
 that

00:41:50.760 --> 00:41:50.920
 is

00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:51.039
 a

00:41:51.039 --> 00:41:51.360
 legitimate

00:41:51.360 --> 00:41:51.920
 concern

00:41:51.920 --> 00:41:52.700
 the

00:41:52.700 --> 00:41:53.139
 solution

00:41:53.139 --> 00:41:53.380
 that

00:41:53.380 --> 00:41:53.500
 they

00:41:53.500 --> 00:41:54.059
 propose

00:41:54.059 --> 00:41:54.340
 is

00:41:54.340 --> 00:41:55.039
 tragically

00:41:55.039 --> 00:41:55.679
 misguided

00:42:05.879 --> 00:42:06.279
 acknowledge

00:42:06.279 --> 00:42:06.559
 him

00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:06.859
 before

00:42:13.179 --> 00:42:13.500

00:42:53.900 --> 00:42:54.340
 well

00:42:58.840 --> 00:42:59.199
 that's

00:42:59.199 --> 00:42:59.360
 the

 cost

 a

 forgiveness

00:43:23.840 --> 00:43:24.159
 of

00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:24.299
 your

00:43:24.299 --> 00:43:24.639
 sins

00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:26.840
 forgiveness

00:43:26.840 --> 00:43:27.219
 is a

00:43:27.219 --> 00:43:27.559
 commercial

00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:27.900
 metaphor

00:43:27.900 --> 00:43:28.119
 that

00:43:28.119 --> 00:43:28.539
 conveys

00:43:28.539 --> 00:43:28.699
 the

00:43:28.699 --> 00:43:29.039
 remission

00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:29.239
 of

00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:29.559
 debt

00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:30.460
 God

00:43:30.460 --> 00:43:30.900
 grants

00:43:30.900 --> 00:43:31.079
 us

00:43:31.079 --> 00:43:31.460
 loan

00:43:31.460 --> 00:43:32.019
 forgiveness

00:43:32.019 --> 00:43:33.440
 because

00:43:33.440 --> 00:43:33.860
 of

00:43:33.860 --> 00:43:34.440
 our

00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:35.119
 disobedience

00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:35.239
 and

00:43:35.239 --> 00:43:35.559
 rebellion

00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:35.799
 we've

00:43:35.799 --> 00:43:36.219
 amassed

00:43:36.219 --> 00:43:36.599
 a debt

00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:36.759
 of

00:43:36.759 --> 00:43:37.039
 sin

00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:37.219
 that

00:43:37.219 --> 00:43:37.340
 we

00:43:37.340 --> 00:43:37.519
 can

00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:37.820
 never

00:43:37.820 --> 00:43:38.259
 repay

00:43:38.259 --> 00:43:38.779
 but

00:43:38.779 --> 00:43:39.119
 God

00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:39.659
 mercifully

00:43:39.659 --> 00:43:40.460
 forgives

00:43:40.460 --> 00:43:40.799
 our

00:43:40.799 --> 00:43:41.119
 debt

00:43:41.119 --> 00:43:41.759
 accepting

00:43:41.759 --> 00:43:42.259
 Jesus'

00:43:42.259 --> 00:43:42.739
 payment

00:43:42.739 --> 00:43:42.920

 behalf

00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:43.539
 on

00:43:43.539 --> 00:43:43.659
 the

00:43:43.659 --> 00:43:43.960
 cross

00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:46.440
 the

00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:46.720
 idea

00:43:46.720 --> 00:43:46.980
 that

00:43:46.980 --> 00:43:47.360
 baptism

00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:47.880
 results

00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:48.059
 in

00:43:48.059 --> 00:43:48.420
 forgiveness

00:43:48.420 --> 00:43:48.700
 of

00:43:48.700 --> 00:43:49.039
 sins

00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:49.420
 makes

00:43:49.420 --> 00:43:49.740
 us

00:43:49.740 --> 00:43:50.159
 as

00:43:50.159 --> 00:43:50.559
 Protestant

00:43:50.559 --> 00:43:50.980
 Christians

00:43:50.980 --> 00:43:51.519
 uncomfortable

00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:53.400
 but

00:43:53.400 --> 00:43:53.519
 it

00:43:53.519 --> 00:43:54.000
 shouldn't

00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:55.280
 because

00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:55.500
 it's

00:43:55.500 --> 00:43:55.679
 not

00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:56.159
 baptism

00:43:56.159 --> 00:43:56.659
 in

00:43:56.659 --> 00:43:56.780
 and

00:43:56.780 --> 00:43:56.960
 of

00:43:56.960 --> 00:43:57.559
 itself

00:43:57.559 --> 00:43:58.760
 or

00:43:58.760 --> 00:43:59.220
 baptism

00:43:59.220 --> 00:43:59.720
 by

00:43:59.720 --> 00:44:00.300
 itself

00:44:00.300 --> 00:44:00.780
 that

00:44:00.780 --> 00:44:01.280
 saves

00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:03.559
 Christ

00:44:04.639 --> 00:44:05.119
 God

00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:05.460
 does

00:44:05.460 --> 00:44:05.880
 impart

00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:06.099
 his

00:44:06.099 --> 00:44:06.420
 grace

00:44:06.420 --> 00:44:06.679
 through

 of

00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:07.659
 baptism

00:44:07.659 --> 00:44:08.260
 but

00:44:08.260 --> 00:44:08.380
 it's

00:44:08.380 --> 00:44:08.599
 not

00:44:08.599 --> 00:44:08.780
 a

00:44:08.780 --> 00:44:09.019
 rigid

00:44:09.019 --> 00:44:09.639
 formula

00:44:10.500 --> 00:44:10.639
 one

00:44:10.639 --> 00:44:10.780

00:44:10.780 --> 00:44:10.940
 be

00:44:10.940 --> 00:44:11.260
 saved

 without

00:44:11.500 --> 00:44:11.860
 it

00:44:11.860 --> 00:44:13.079
 for

00:44:13.079 --> 00:44:13.380
 example

00:44:15.980 --> 00:44:16.159
 the

00:44:16.159 --> 00:44:16.440
 criminal

00:44:16.440 --> 00:44:16.659
 that's

 crucified

00:44:17.699 --> 00:44:17.800
 him

00:44:17.800 --> 00:44:17.920
 that

00:44:17.920 --> 00:44:18.000
 he

00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:18.059
 will

00:44:19.400 --> 00:44:19.740
 obviously

 he

00:44:19.900 --> 00:44:20.019
 has

 not

 Peter

 to

 say

00:44:50.059 --> 00:44:50.259
 well

00:44:50.259 --> 00:44:50.500
 can

 anyone

00:44:50.859 --> 00:44:51.259
 withhold

00:44:51.259 --> 00:44:51.739
 water

 these

 the

 from

00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:16.119
 this

00:50:16.119 --> 00:50:16.360
 crooked

00:50:16.360 --> 00:50:16.920
 generation

00:50:16.920 --> 00:50:17.980
 and

00:50:17.980 --> 00:50:18.099
 so

00:50:18.099 --> 00:50:18.340
 those

00:50:18.340 --> 00:50:18.460
 who

00:50:18.460 --> 00:50:18.920
 received

00:50:18.920 --> 00:50:19.179
 his

00:50:19.559 --> 00:50:19.679
 were

00:50:19.679 --> 00:50:20.059
 baptized

00:50:20.059 --> 00:50:20.779
 and

00:50:20.779 --> 00:50:20.940
 there

00:50:20.940 --> 00:50:21.099
 were

00:50:21.099 --> 00:50:21.400
 added

00:50:21.400 --> 00:50:21.679
 that

00:50:21.679 --> 00:50:21.920
 day

00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:22.179
 about

00:50:22.179 --> 00:50:23.039
 3,000

00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:23.519
 souls

00:50:23.519 --> 00:50:25.659
 every

00:50:25.659 --> 00:50:26.239
 generation

00:50:26.239 --> 00:50:26.779
 styles

00:50:26.779 --> 00:50:27.139
 itself

00:50:27.139 --> 00:50:27.400
 as an

00:50:27.400 --> 00:50:27.820
 improvement

00:50:27.820 --> 00:50:28.219
 over the

00:50:28.219 --> 00:50:28.500
 previous

00:50:28.500 --> 00:50:29.159
 generation

00:50:29.159 --> 00:50:29.639
 but

00:50:29.639 --> 00:50:30.019
 in truth

00:50:30.019 --> 00:50:30.340
 every

00:50:30.340 --> 00:50:30.840
 generation

00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:31.259
 is a

00:50:31.259 --> 00:50:31.500
 crooked

00:50:31.500 --> 00:50:32.019
 generation

00:50:32.019 --> 00:50:32.279
 that

00:50:32.279 --> 00:50:32.699
 rejects

00:50:32.699 --> 00:50:33.059
 Christ

00:50:33.059 --> 00:50:36.679
 and

00:50:36.679 --> 00:50:36.799
 we

00:50:36.799 --> 00:50:36.980
 must

00:50:36.980 --> 00:50:37.159
 be

00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:37.420
 saved

00:50:37.420 --> 00:50:37.759
 from

00:50:37.759 --> 00:50:38.039
 it

00:50:38.039 --> 00:50:38.659
 out

00:50:38.659 --> 00:50:38.799
 of

00:50:38.799 --> 00:50:39.059
 it

00:50:39.059 --> 00:50:42.420
 this

00:50:42.420 --> 00:50:43.239
 in

00:50:43.239 --> 00:50:43.259
 in

00:50:43.259 --> 00:50:43.440
 in

00:50:43.440 --> 00:50:43.460
 this

00:50:43.460 --> 00:50:43.739
 case

00:50:43.739 --> 00:50:44.179
 Peter's

00:50:44.179 --> 00:50:44.440
 message

00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:44.639
 is

00:50:44.639 --> 00:50:44.799
 well

00:50:44.799 --> 00:50:45.360
 received

00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:46.639
 it

00:50:46.639 --> 00:50:46.759
 says

00:50:46.759 --> 00:50:47.059
 about

00:50:47.059 --> 00:50:47.799
 3,000

00:50:47.799 --> 00:50:48.179
 people

00:50:48.179 --> 00:50:48.480
 are

00:50:48.480 --> 00:50:48.799
 baptized

00:50:48.799 --> 00:50:50.179
 but

00:50:50.179 --> 00:50:50.360
 the

00:50:50.360 --> 00:50:50.739
 proclamation

00:50:50.739 --> 00:50:51.159
 of the

00:50:51.159 --> 00:50:51.460
 gospel

00:50:51.460 --> 00:50:51.840
 doesn't

00:50:51.840 --> 00:50:52.159
 always

00:50:52.159 --> 00:50:52.380
 get

00:50:52.380 --> 00:50:52.579
 this

00:50:52.579 --> 00:50:52.820
 kind

00:50:52.820 --> 00:50:52.920
 of

00:50:52.920 --> 00:50:53.299
 reception

00:50:54.019 --> 00:50:55.139
 as

00:50:55.139 --> 00:50:55.239
 we

00:50:55.239 --> 00:50:55.360
 will

00:50:55.360 --> 00:50:55.559
 see

00:50:55.559 --> 00:50:55.880
 throughout

00:50:55.880 --> 00:50:56.239
 Acts

00:50:56.239 --> 00:50:56.840
 sometimes

00:50:56.840 --> 00:50:57.539
 when you

00:50:57.539 --> 00:50:57.920
 proclaim

00:50:57.920 --> 00:50:58.099
 the

00:50:58.099 --> 00:50:58.440
 gospel

00:50:58.440 --> 00:50:59.299
 people

00:50:59.299 --> 00:50:59.619
 throw

00:50:59.619 --> 00:51:00.019
 rocks

00:51:00.019 --> 00:51:00.219
 at

00:51:00.219 --> 00:51:00.420
 you

00:51:00.420 --> 00:51:00.579
 and

00:51:00.579 --> 00:51:00.739
 try

00:51:00.739 --> 00:51:00.900
 to

00:51:00.900 --> 00:51:01.179
 stone

00:51:01.179 --> 00:51:01.320
 you

00:51:01.320 --> 00:51:01.440
 to

00:51:01.440 --> 00:51:01.699
 death

00:51:01.699 --> 00:51:07.099
 but this doesn't make the apostles

00:51:07.099 --> 00:51:08.559
 go back to the drawing board

00:51:08.559 --> 00:51:10.579
 and then say well that didn't work

00:51:10.579 --> 00:51:12.919
 we must have said something wrong

00:51:12.919 --> 00:51:15.539
 what can we do differently next time

00:51:15.539 --> 00:51:18.039
 no you never find the apostles doing that

00:51:18.039 --> 00:51:23.039
 they keep proclaiming

00:51:23.039 --> 00:51:26.259
 the same gospel message

00:51:26.260 --> 00:51:33.340
 because they understand that the church grows

00:51:33.340 --> 00:51:35.940
 by the spirit empowered preaching

00:51:35.940 --> 00:51:38.960
 of the gospel of Jesus Christ

00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:41.840
 people change

00:51:41.840 --> 00:51:43.440
 the audience changes

00:51:43.440 --> 00:51:45.660
 but the gospel does not change

00:51:45.660 --> 00:51:49.140
 that many people are added to the church

00:51:49.140 --> 00:51:51.560
 does not necessarily indicate superior methods

00:51:51.560 --> 00:51:52.500
 of gospel proclamation

00:51:52.500 --> 00:51:55.500
 and that many people respond with hostility

00:51:55.500 --> 00:51:57.780
 and persecution does not necessarily indicate

00:51:57.780 --> 00:52:00.219
 inferior methods of gospel proclamation

00:52:00.219 --> 00:52:05.739
 everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord

00:52:05.739 --> 00:52:06.579
 shall be saved

00:52:06.579 --> 00:52:09.360
 everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself

00:52:09.360 --> 00:52:10.480
 shall be saved

00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:11.760
 and we are witnesses

00:52:11.760 --> 00:52:13.539
 not saviors

00:52:13.539 --> 00:52:17.260
 God will not judge us by the number of people

00:52:17.260 --> 00:52:18.599
 that are saved through us

00:52:18.599 --> 00:52:21.780
 but by whether or not we faithfully bore witness

00:52:21.780 --> 00:52:22.940
 to Jesus Christ

00:52:22.940 --> 00:52:29.599
 you are a Christian today

00:52:29.599 --> 00:52:32.340
 because somebody bore witness to Jesus Christ to you

00:52:32.340 --> 00:52:34.900
 whether it's your parents

00:52:34.900 --> 00:52:35.780
 or your friend

00:52:35.780 --> 00:52:36.340
 or your neighbor

00:52:36.340 --> 00:52:42.039
 so let's continue to carry this gospel torch

00:52:42.039 --> 00:52:44.860
 handed down to us from the apostles

00:52:44.860 --> 00:52:47.280
 and trust that this gospel

00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:48.420
 as it is proclaimed

00:52:48.420 --> 00:52:49.820
 will bear fruit

00:52:49.820 --> 00:52:51.420
 in our midst this year

00:52:51.420 --> 00:52:53.480
 let's pray together

00:52:53.480 --> 00:53:00.240
 yes Lord

00:53:00.240 --> 00:53:03.680
 grant us the faith

00:53:03.680 --> 00:53:07.420
 the boldness

00:53:07.420 --> 00:53:12.240
 to be faithful witnesses of Jesus

00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:19.259
 and help us never

00:53:19.259 --> 00:53:21.219
 to question for a moment

00:53:21.219 --> 00:53:27.299
 that it is your word

00:53:27.299 --> 00:53:29.259
 proclaimed by your spirit

00:53:29.259 --> 00:53:33.319
 that saves

00:53:33.319 --> 00:53:37.279
 that grows the church

00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:39.840
 help us never

00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:41.019
 lose our identity

00:53:41.019 --> 00:53:42.940
 as a church

00:53:42.940 --> 00:53:49.600
 that we are a church

00:53:49.600 --> 00:53:50.800
 of Christ

00:53:50.800 --> 00:53:53.100
 that ministers

00:53:53.100 --> 00:53:53.680
 the gospel

00:53:53.680 --> 00:53:54.360
 of Christ

00:53:54.360 --> 00:54:01.240
 in Jesus name we pray

00:54:01.240 --> 00:54:02.620
 Amen
