00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.500
 This morning I would like to look at Luke chapter 10, a passage from Luke chapter 10.

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:19.600
! We'll also look at Luke 9 a little bit, but Christ at the crossroads. How do we set our priorities?

00:00:20.539 --> 00:00:28.199
! Today as Americans, most of us feel like we have limitless possibilities. With a click

00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:36.379
 or two, we and our families can fill our lives and schedules with fantastic experiences. With

00:00:36.379 --> 00:00:42.740
 a click or two, we have access to education and information on topics and events we never

00:00:42.740 --> 00:00:48.179
 knew existed and we can't wait to find somebody to share it with, right? Until our eyes glaze

00:00:48.179 --> 00:00:54.219
 over. With a click or two, we can fill our houses, our garages, our closets, our pantries

00:00:54.219 --> 00:01:02.739
 with delightful things from around the globe. What an incredible time to be alive. But we

00:01:02.739 --> 00:01:13.219
 cannot do it all. We cannot learn it all. And even though you may have a plastic card, we

00:01:13.219 --> 00:01:26.640
 cannot buy it all. So how do we decide? How do we discern what is good, better, best? What

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:36.519
 will make our priority list? After coffee, what is the rest of your top 10 on your priority list

00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:43.659
 for this week? As a teen, I had the privilege of God bringing a youth pastor into my life who

00:01:43.659 --> 00:01:50.000
 helped me take significant steps of growth as a follower of Jesus. A tool I was introduced

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:57.920
 to was a priority list. The priorities and their order have changed over the years. Obviously,

00:01:58.219 --> 00:02:04.099
 God and Jesus topped the list. First thing in the morning, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, reading the

00:02:04.099 --> 00:02:10.759
 word, meditating on it, praying. But then missionaries would come. And they would come to speak and stress,

00:02:11.299 --> 00:02:18.379
 you really need to get up at five in the morning to spend an hour or more. And oh, as a young person,

00:02:18.459 --> 00:02:26.400
 the guilt, the feelings of failure that would flood my mind. Lord, I love you. I want to grow in you.

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:34.500
 I wanted to make it my aim to please you. But I struggle to prove it. By spending 60 to 90 minutes

00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:43.939
 every morning, Lord, there must be a better approach. And Jesus shows us that. And I believe

00:02:43.939 --> 00:02:54.240
 in this passage. Come to the end of chapter 10. In Luke chapter 10, he shows us this in his interaction

00:02:54.240 --> 00:03:02.080
 with Martha and Mary. Now, as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village, and a woman named

00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:10.180
 Martha welcomed him into her house. She had a sister called Mary who sat at Jesus' feet and listened

00:03:10.180 --> 00:03:19.200
 to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said,

00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:27.039
 Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.

00:03:28.259 --> 00:03:35.339
 But the Lord answered her, Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things.

00:03:35.839 --> 00:03:43.719
 But one thing is necessary, and Mary has chosen the good portion which will not be taken from her.

00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:51.520
 Before you harass all the Marthas in your life, yes, in this passage, Martha seems to earn a bad name.

00:03:51.780 --> 00:03:58.900
 But Martha has a glorious reputation in Scripture. Before we dive into this, let's just glance at the

00:03:58.900 --> 00:04:06.919
 context. In Luke chapter 9, Jesus sends the 12 out two by two to proclaim the kingdom of God.

00:04:07.259 --> 00:04:13.639
 As simply, take nothing with you, just go simply and proclaim the kingdom of God. He feeds

00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:23.419
 5,000 men, women, and children. 5,000 with just loaves and fishes. He foretells his approaching death,

00:04:23.740 --> 00:04:33.159
 that death is coming. God allows, God the Father allows him to reveal his glory to Peter, James,

00:04:33.159 --> 00:04:42.319
 and John. And then he announces his approaching death again. Then he gives the priority of humility,

00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:52.659
 that the least of you will be the greatest. And the priority of counting the cost to proclaiming

00:04:52.659 --> 00:05:05.860
 the good news of Jesus Christ. Then he has 72 willing to go. In chapter 10, verses 1 and 2,

00:05:05.860 --> 00:05:13.960
 after this, the Lord appointed 72 others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two into every town and place

00:05:13.960 --> 00:05:22.420
 where he was about himself about to go. And he said to them, the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:29.319
 Therefore, pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.

00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:37.060
 If you were here in the first hour, you saw on those graphics, the harvest is plentiful, and the laborers are few.

00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:43.300
 Pastor S., who is the host pastor of our main teaching site, has an alarm set on his phone for

00:05:43.300 --> 00:05:50.579
 10.02 every day. And at 10.02, the alarm goes off to remind him to pray Luke 10.2.

00:05:50.579 --> 00:05:57.659
 Lord, please raise up laborers to go into the harvest. I don't know if that would impact your

00:05:57.659 --> 00:06:03.060
 service time, but if you want to set an alarm right now for 10.02, just to remind you to pray that God,

00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:12.779
 please raise up laborers. And may that be me. Pastor S. spent a week this spring in an isolated

00:06:12.779 --> 00:06:19.240
 community of 80,000 practicing this, going in simply, not knowing anybody, and seeking people

00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:24.660
 that might respond to the gospel. He did it also in a community of 160,000 of no-known believers,

00:06:24.860 --> 00:06:32.000
 and seeking to proclaim the good news, and saw four come to faith. The message of the gospel

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:37.079
 that he gives to the disciples here is very simple. Heal the sick in it, and say to them,

00:06:37.139 --> 00:06:45.360
 the kingdom of God has come near you. Jesus sends the 72 out into towns, two by two, living simply,

00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:52.840
 and announcing that God is initiating his rule on earth, beginning in the hearts of men and women,

00:06:53.720 --> 00:07:00.540
 and also announcing that he can bring healing, and he can bring wholeness to our broken lives.

00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:07.980
 In these contexts, a life that is transformed by coming to faith in Jesus Christ becomes visibly

00:07:07.980 --> 00:07:15.700
 different. And it is so exciting to see the healing that has begun in their lives as they submit to

00:07:15.700 --> 00:07:25.200
 Jesus Christ. But we must receive this. As John would later record, believe in Jesus, trust him,

00:07:25.460 --> 00:07:33.720
 receive him, trust him that Jesus is who God says he is, that Jesus accomplished what God said he did

00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:41.640
 by raising him from the dead. And at that moment, you are made alive, you are born of God, you are a

00:07:41.640 --> 00:07:50.860
 child of God. Jesus tells them as he's sending them out, the one who hears you, hears me. The one who

00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:58.440
 rejects you, rejects me. And the one who rejects me, rejects him who sent me. The 72 returned with joy

00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:07.500
 saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name. When you are involved in sharing the

00:08:07.500 --> 00:08:15.579
 good news, it's not about you. If they reject you, don't take it personally. They're rejecting him.

00:08:15.819 --> 00:08:21.360
 They're rejecting the good news of the living God and what he has done through Jesus Christ. But you

00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:28.660
 want to encourage them to receive it. Because at that moment, nevertheless, do not rejoice in this,

00:08:28.699 --> 00:08:35.639
 that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.

00:08:37.019 --> 00:08:47.620
 Hmm. The moment you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, that he died in your place for your sins,

00:08:47.620 --> 00:08:52.419
 and that you believe and trust that God raised him from the dead to say that is sufficient.

00:08:53.000 --> 00:09:04.000
 At that moment, your names are written in heaven. And Luke would later record, there is joy before the

00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:12.440
 angels of heaven of God over one sinner who repents. You could make heaven shout today. You could make the

00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:17.100
 angels of heaven shout today by simply coming to trusting faith in Jesus Christ.

00:09:17.620 --> 00:09:29.720
 Do you take joy in that? Priority, rejoice in whose you are rather than what you can do for him.

00:09:30.500 --> 00:09:37.340
 Rejoice in whose you are rather than what you can do for him. Could you imagine the disciples,

00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:42.019
 especially the 12, they'd already been arguing over who had been least or who had been greatest,

00:09:42.500 --> 00:09:46.700
 and now they come back. Could you imagine them comparing stories? Well, wow, you should have seen this.

00:09:46.700 --> 00:09:51.060
 You should have seen, well, I just said this. Wow, this happened. And they were trying to maybe even

00:09:51.060 --> 00:09:59.180
 outdo each other of whose story was bigger. And Jesus said, okay, enough. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in

00:09:59.180 --> 00:10:07.379
 this, that the Spirit is subject to you. Take your joy that your names are written in heaven, in the Lamb's book

00:10:07.379 --> 00:10:37.360
 of the living forever.

00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:44.860
 Lord willing, Lord willing, they will graduate from our program. And in teams, they will move into these

00:10:44.860 --> 00:10:52.300
 communities and begin house churches. Jesus continues in verse 23.

00:10:52.299 --> 00:11:00.719
 Then turning to his disciples, he said privately, blessed are the eyes that see what you see.

00:11:01.459 --> 00:11:08.799
 For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see and did not see it, and to hear what you

00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:18.399
 hear and did not hear it. Jesus gives them the priority. Rejoice in the blessings of seeing and hearing God's

00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:31.199
 promised rescue through the Messiah, his son. We get to see and hear what Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Isaiah,

00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:38.519
 they just hoped to see it. They didn't see it. We get to see it. And some of us have 15, 20 copies of it

00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:43.220
 in our house in all different languages. We have apps on our phone. We can access it anytime.

00:11:43.220 --> 00:11:50.879
 But do we? And when we access it, do we take it in as informational, academic information? Or do we take

00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:59.420
 it in as life-giving word from heaven above that we are blessed of God to see and to hear his active

00:11:59.420 --> 00:12:09.660
 rescue through Jesus? Jesus continues on with a story. And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test,

00:12:09.659 --> 00:12:17.319
 saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? And he said, Jesus said, what is written in the

00:12:17.319 --> 00:12:23.779
 law? How do you read it? The lawyer answered, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,

00:12:24.079 --> 00:12:32.259
 with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.

00:12:32.259 --> 00:12:42.580
 Religious people around the world cry out the same question. What shall I do to inherit eternal life?

00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:51.340
 What shall I do to be right with God? Just please tell me what to do, and I will try to do it.

00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:58.679
 But Jesus has this man say those priorities. Love God completely,

00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:07.879
 and love your neighbors as yourself. Jesus first illustrates the priority of loving your neighbor

00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:14.899
 as yourself. A Jewish man was beat and left for dead. The priest and the temple worker,

00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:24.019
 they had other priorities, schedule, religious purity, safety. Whatever it was, they just kept walking.

00:13:24.019 --> 00:13:33.319
 But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where this man was. And when he saw him, he had compassion.

00:13:33.860 --> 00:13:38.879
 He went to him and bound up his wounds, and pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal,

00:13:39.179 --> 00:13:43.779
 and brought him to an end, and took care of him. And the next day, he took out two denarii,

00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:49.360
 and gave them to the innkeeper, and said, take care of him, and whatever more you need or spend,

00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:58.840
 I will repay you when I come back. A Samaritan set aside his other priorities to show love, compassion,

00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:10.300
 mercy to a Jew who likely would not have done the same for him. To love your neighbor as himself.

00:14:10.299 --> 00:14:20.559
 Who is your neighbor? Who is your co-worker? Your friend? Your contact? Your schoolmate? Your acquaintance?

00:14:20.819 --> 00:14:30.179
 That needs a touch of Jesus' love? My daughter had modeled this so well for us. She uses horses to help

00:14:30.179 --> 00:14:35.939
 young ladies begin to talk and to heal. She looks for those that others would shun.

00:14:35.940 --> 00:14:43.880
 But on the field, we see it through Pastor Z. Pastor Z and his family had to move out of their

00:14:43.880 --> 00:14:50.020
 apartments three times in 18 months, whenever the landlords found out that he was a pastor.

00:14:51.100 --> 00:14:58.440
 Last fall, God gave them a place of their own, and their priority is to use their home to be able

00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:05.660
 to serve believers, but also to extend Jesus' love to their neighbors who currently despise them.

00:15:05.940 --> 00:15:14.360
 Every time he leaves the building, someone yells from the window, infidel! And that's where he lives,

00:15:14.660 --> 00:15:23.660
 but he seeks to gently, kindly love them. In January, we were able to re-begin teaching in his city,

00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:29.860
 and this is where Pastor Andrew will join me, Lord willing, in September. And what a group. The young

00:15:29.860 --> 00:15:36.580
 couples have left the comforts of city life in a second world population to serve a desperate region.

00:15:37.379 --> 00:15:42.879
 They are daily setting the priority of loving women and children that others would despise and have

00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:51.240
 neglected. If we're going to use a priority list, we see that God might want to have us reorder it.

00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:54.419
 Love God completely.

00:15:57.000 --> 00:16:07.299
 Rejoice in whose you are more than what you can do for him. Rejoice in seeing and hearing God's rescue

00:16:07.299 --> 00:16:15.480
 through his son. Humility. Genuine humility.

00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:31.139
 Love your neighbor from the heart. Count the cost. It can get expensive to your reputation,

00:16:31.779 --> 00:16:40.159
 to you personally, to proclaim the good news. Count the cost and trust him. And then proclaim

00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:53.039
 the good news. You have somewhat limitless opportunities. Are these on your priority list?

00:16:54.179 --> 00:17:02.259
 Do they make it? But since missionaries are good at making you feel guilty,

00:17:05.379 --> 00:17:09.659
 I want to introduce you to a tool that has helped me more than lists.

00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:15.720
 During our internship, I was introduced to a more helpful approach.

00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:21.640
 Think of priorities and responsibilities of life as a circle.

00:17:23.380 --> 00:17:31.980
 With seeking God and his rule, his kingdom, his righteousness as the center. That God desires to

00:17:31.980 --> 00:17:37.120
 have expanding influence on every area of our lives.

00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:47.500
 God wants us to come to him to sit at his feet, to sit at the feet of Jesus for wisdom and insights

00:17:47.500 --> 00:17:57.339
 for every area of our life. This is so much more than 15 minutes, 60 minutes in the morning.

00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:02.959
 This is every moment throughout your day. God, what would you have me to do?

00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:10.779
 God, in this moment, I want to react in this way. How would you please rule over and guard and guide my reactions?

00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:18.400
 But in this opportunity to invest our time and resources and our interest in so many different things,

00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:25.200
 a book that is extremely helpful in evaluating what we hold as the essential center

00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:29.080
 is Tim Keller's book, Counterfeit Gods.

00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:31.500
 He writes,

00:18:32.100 --> 00:18:32.960
 The human heart

00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:35.400
 is an idol factory.

00:18:37.980 --> 00:18:39.019
 What is an idol?

00:18:39.700 --> 00:18:42.279
 It's anything more important to you

00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:43.519
 than God.

00:18:44.080 --> 00:18:46.200
 Anything that absorbs your heart

00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:47.640
 and your imagination

00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:50.140
 more than God.

00:18:50.140 --> 00:18:52.500
 Anything you seek

00:18:52.500 --> 00:18:54.640
 to give you what only God

00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:55.759
 can give.

00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:00.920
 Idols are not usually bad things.

00:19:02.060 --> 00:19:03.600
 But good things

00:19:03.600 --> 00:19:05.080
 turned into

00:19:05.080 --> 00:19:06.500
 ultimate things.

00:19:07.140 --> 00:19:10.200
 Things that constitute our most fundamental significance

00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:11.480
 and security.

00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:12.940
 And so they function

00:19:12.940 --> 00:19:14.240
 as gods

00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:15.220
 in our lives.

00:19:15.220 --> 00:19:18.620
 An idol

00:19:18.620 --> 00:19:20.539
 has such a controlling position

00:19:20.539 --> 00:19:21.860
 in your heart

00:19:21.860 --> 00:19:23.059
 that you can spend

00:19:23.059 --> 00:19:24.079
 most of your passions

00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:24.900
 and energy,

00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:26.799
 your emotional and financial resources

00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:27.259
 on it

00:19:27.259 --> 00:19:27.759
 without

00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:29.640
 even a second thought.

00:19:31.220 --> 00:19:32.600
 It can be a family.

00:19:32.860 --> 00:19:33.559
 It can be family

00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:34.440
 and children

00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:35.920
 or career

00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:36.839
 and making money

00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:38.319
 or achievement

00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:39.779
 and critical acclaim.

00:19:40.299 --> 00:19:41.880
 Maybe even saving face

00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:43.180
 and your social standing.

00:19:43.180 --> 00:19:46.100
 It can be a romantic relationship.

00:19:47.180 --> 00:19:48.519
 It can be peer approval.

00:19:49.980 --> 00:19:51.279
 It can be competence

00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:53.539
 and skill.

00:19:54.180 --> 00:19:55.220
 Maybe secure

00:19:55.220 --> 00:19:56.000
 and comfortable

00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:57.500
 circumstances.

00:19:59.860 --> 00:20:01.279
 It can be your beauty

00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:02.640
 for some of you.

00:20:03.320 --> 00:20:04.259
 Maybe for some of you

00:20:04.259 --> 00:20:05.440
 it's your brains.

00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:08.840
 Maybe it's a great political cause

00:20:08.840 --> 00:20:10.000
 or a social cause.

00:20:10.600 --> 00:20:11.580
 Your morality

00:20:11.579 --> 00:20:13.019
 or your virtue

00:20:13.019 --> 00:20:15.679
 and even for some of us

00:20:15.679 --> 00:20:17.460
 success in Christian ministry

00:20:17.460 --> 00:20:18.679
 can begin to have

00:20:18.679 --> 00:20:20.220
 an idol effect

00:20:20.220 --> 00:20:22.000
 in our hearts

00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:23.199
 and minds.

00:20:24.779 --> 00:20:25.960
 It's whatever you

00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:26.879
 look at

00:20:26.879 --> 00:20:27.439
 and think

00:20:27.439 --> 00:20:29.619
 if I had that

00:20:29.619 --> 00:20:30.899
 then

00:20:30.899 --> 00:20:32.480
 I feel my life

00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:33.139
 has meaning.

00:20:33.740 --> 00:20:34.039
 Then

00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:34.779
 I'll know

00:20:34.779 --> 00:20:35.779
 I have value.

00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:37.779
 Then

00:20:37.779 --> 00:20:38.480
 I'll feel

00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:38.579
 significant

00:20:38.579 --> 00:20:39.240
 significant

00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:41.299
 and secure.

00:20:42.659 --> 00:20:43.559
 What brings

00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:44.119
 your life

00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:44.599
 meaning?

00:20:45.779 --> 00:20:46.699
 What makes you

00:20:46.699 --> 00:20:47.220
 feel

00:20:47.220 --> 00:20:48.199
 significant?

00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:50.519
 Makes you feel

00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:51.439
 secure?

00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:53.679
 What is at the center

00:20:53.679 --> 00:20:54.779
 of your circle?

00:20:56.059 --> 00:20:56.659
 Or

00:20:56.659 --> 00:20:57.659
 what segments

00:20:57.659 --> 00:20:58.480
 of your circle

00:20:58.480 --> 00:20:59.859
 are out of balance?

00:21:00.419 --> 00:21:01.259
 What segments

00:21:01.259 --> 00:21:01.980
 of your circle

00:21:01.980 --> 00:21:03.119
 are out of touch

00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:03.679
 to God?

00:21:04.299 --> 00:21:04.539
 Hey

00:21:04.539 --> 00:21:05.679
 that's okay

00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:06.759
 you get my Sunday morning.

00:21:07.900 --> 00:21:08.299
 Okay

00:21:08.299 --> 00:21:09.380
 I'll give you a little bit more

00:21:09.380 --> 00:21:10.000
 but

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:11.160
 you can't have that.

00:21:11.460 --> 00:21:12.060
 What segments

00:21:12.060 --> 00:21:12.779
 of your life

00:21:12.779 --> 00:21:13.640
 do you say

00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:13.920
 God

00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:14.500
 don't touch

00:21:14.500 --> 00:21:14.960
 that one?

00:21:19.460 --> 00:21:20.360
 Matthew 6

00:21:20.360 --> 00:21:20.700
 therefore

00:21:20.700 --> 00:21:21.640
 do not be anxious

00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:22.180
 saying

00:21:22.180 --> 00:21:23.860
 what shall we eat?

00:21:24.120 --> 00:21:25.060
 What shall we drink?

00:21:25.299 --> 00:21:25.560
 Or

00:21:25.560 --> 00:21:26.820
 what shall we wear?

00:21:27.340 --> 00:21:28.140
 For the Gentiles

00:21:28.140 --> 00:21:29.519
 seek after all these things

00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:30.500
 and your heavenly

00:21:30.500 --> 00:21:31.060
 Father

00:21:31.060 --> 00:21:32.380
 he knows

00:21:32.380 --> 00:21:33.460
 that you need

00:21:33.460 --> 00:21:34.039
 them all

00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:35.700
 but seek first

00:21:35.700 --> 00:21:36.879
 the kingdom of God

00:21:36.879 --> 00:21:38.119
 and his

00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:39.200
 righteousness

00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:41.019
 and all these

00:21:41.019 --> 00:21:41.700
 things

00:21:41.700 --> 00:21:42.920
 will be added

00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:43.799
 to you.

00:21:44.159 --> 00:21:44.879
 This verse

00:21:44.879 --> 00:21:45.539
 is in the middle

00:21:45.539 --> 00:21:45.940
 of Jesus'

00:21:46.159 --> 00:21:47.139
 longest recorded

00:21:47.139 --> 00:21:47.599
 sermon

00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:48.899
 the Sermon on the Mount

00:21:48.899 --> 00:21:50.159
 sometimes referred to

00:21:50.159 --> 00:21:51.559
 as the Constitution

00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:52.759
 of God's kingdom.

00:21:53.659 --> 00:21:54.180
 If we are going

00:21:54.180 --> 00:21:54.799
 to be good

00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:55.359
 citizens

00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:56.299
 of his kingdom

00:21:56.299 --> 00:21:57.539
 we must allow

00:21:57.539 --> 00:21:58.440
 him to rule

00:21:58.440 --> 00:21:59.720
 from the center

00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:01.159
 of our lives.

00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:02.200
 What does

00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:02.960
 he value?

00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:03.940
 What is most

00:22:03.940 --> 00:22:04.779
 important to him?

00:22:05.140 --> 00:22:06.200
 How can

00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:07.500
 I please

00:22:07.500 --> 00:22:07.920
 him?

00:22:08.740 --> 00:22:09.440
 Let's come back

00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:10.019
 to our passage

00:22:10.019 --> 00:22:10.440
 at the end

00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:11.140
 of Luke 10.

00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:15.480
 Now as

00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:16.460
 Jesus and his

00:22:16.460 --> 00:22:16.860
 disciples

00:22:16.860 --> 00:22:17.640
 went on their

00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:18.039
 way

00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:18.880
 Jesus entered

00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:19.420
 a village

00:22:19.420 --> 00:22:20.720
 and a woman

00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:21.559
 named Martha

00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:23.059
 welcomed him

00:22:23.059 --> 00:22:24.579
 into her house.

00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:25.920
 So before we

00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:26.500
 go on

00:22:26.500 --> 00:22:27.640
 Martha is

00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:28.500
 commendable

00:22:28.500 --> 00:22:29.180
 okay?

00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:29.840
 She

00:22:29.840 --> 00:22:31.259
 invited them

00:22:31.259 --> 00:22:32.279
 into her

00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:32.899
 home.

00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:34.579
 Middle

00:22:34.579 --> 00:22:34.940
 Eastern

00:22:34.940 --> 00:22:35.700
 hospitality

00:22:35.700 --> 00:22:36.500
 is such

00:22:36.500 --> 00:22:37.500
 that when

00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:38.279
 you welcome

00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:39.000
 Jesus and

00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:39.519
 his 12

00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:40.420
 smelly friends

00:22:40.420 --> 00:22:41.359
 into her

00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:41.759
 home

00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:42.660
 she was

00:22:42.660 --> 00:22:43.039
 then

00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:44.299
 going to

00:22:44.299 --> 00:22:45.000
 provide them

00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:46.180
 the comforts

00:22:46.180 --> 00:22:46.500
 to be able

00:22:46.500 --> 00:22:46.960
 to cleanse

00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:47.500
 themselves

00:22:47.500 --> 00:22:48.240
 to be

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:48.579
 comfortable

00:22:48.579 --> 00:22:49.379
 but also

00:22:49.379 --> 00:22:50.879
 to do

00:22:50.879 --> 00:22:51.180
 whatever

00:22:51.180 --> 00:22:51.740
 they needed

00:22:51.740 --> 00:22:52.819
 to be fed

00:22:52.819 --> 00:22:53.460
 to be cared

00:22:53.460 --> 00:22:53.740
 for.

00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:54.680
 Even today

00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:55.200
 if you were

00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:55.779
 invited into

00:22:55.779 --> 00:22:56.259
 somebody's

00:22:56.259 --> 00:22:56.579
 home

00:22:56.579 --> 00:22:56.980
 and they

00:22:56.980 --> 00:22:57.079
 said

00:22:57.079 --> 00:22:57.399
 would you

00:22:57.399 --> 00:22:57.599
 like to

00:22:57.599 --> 00:22:57.879
 come in

00:22:57.879 --> 00:22:58.319
 for tea?

00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:00.319
 it's not

00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:00.919
 just a cup

00:23:00.919 --> 00:23:02.159
 they fill

00:23:02.159 --> 00:23:02.720
 the table

00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:03.659
 and then

00:23:03.659 --> 00:23:04.519
 they continue

00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:06.139
 and here

00:23:06.139 --> 00:23:06.559
 in America

00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:06.980
 when we

00:23:06.980 --> 00:23:07.240
 set an

00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:07.500
 appointment

00:23:07.500 --> 00:23:08.119
 for coffee

00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:09.960
 45 minutes

00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:10.399
 an hour

00:23:10.399 --> 00:23:10.740
 yeah

00:23:10.740 --> 00:23:12.700
 I'm busy

00:23:12.700 --> 00:23:13.139
 I gotta go

00:23:13.139 --> 00:23:13.960
 I mean

00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:14.399
 that's just

00:23:14.399 --> 00:23:15.139
 about as long

00:23:15.139 --> 00:23:15.679
 as we can

00:23:15.679 --> 00:23:16.339
 tolerate people

00:23:16.339 --> 00:23:16.579
 right?

00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:17.740
 Not so

00:23:17.740 --> 00:23:18.779
 not so much

00:23:18.779 --> 00:23:19.279
 in the Middle

00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:19.960
 Eastern world

00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:20.759
 when they

00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:21.200
 invite you

00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:21.659
 for a cup

00:23:21.659 --> 00:23:22.119
 of coffee

00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:22.740
 it's gonna

00:23:22.740 --> 00:23:23.240
 be a day

00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:23.599
 it's gonna

00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:23.859
 be an

00:23:23.859 --> 00:23:24.599
 experience

00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:25.439
 and so

00:23:25.439 --> 00:23:26.059
 here Martha

00:23:26.059 --> 00:23:26.740
 she didn't

00:23:26.740 --> 00:23:27.279
 invite them

00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:27.740
 in for an

00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:28.000
 hour

00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:29.099
 she invited

00:23:29.099 --> 00:23:29.539
 them into

00:23:29.539 --> 00:23:30.439
 her home

00:23:30.439 --> 00:23:31.059
 until

00:23:31.059 --> 00:23:32.159
 they needed

00:23:32.159 --> 00:23:32.859
 to go

00:23:32.859 --> 00:23:34.959
 so Martha

00:23:34.959 --> 00:23:35.679
 is

00:23:35.679 --> 00:23:37.059
 should be

00:23:37.059 --> 00:23:37.899
 commended

00:23:37.899 --> 00:23:41.119
 she would

00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:41.539
 have fed

00:23:41.539 --> 00:23:41.759
 them

00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:42.259
 sought to

00:23:42.259 --> 00:23:42.980
 feed them

00:23:42.980 --> 00:23:43.759
 the best

00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:44.279
 that she

00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:44.659
 had

00:23:44.659 --> 00:23:47.159
 but she

00:23:47.159 --> 00:23:47.579
 had a sister

00:23:47.579 --> 00:23:48.199
 called Mary

00:23:48.199 --> 00:23:49.379
 who sat

00:23:49.379 --> 00:23:50.419
 at the

00:23:50.419 --> 00:23:51.179
 Lord's feet

00:23:51.179 --> 00:23:52.219
 and listened

00:23:52.219 --> 00:23:53.000
 to his

00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:53.359
 teaching

00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:55.019
 Mary

00:23:55.019 --> 00:23:55.639
 sat

00:23:55.639 --> 00:23:55.899
 at the

00:23:55.899 --> 00:23:56.139
 Lord's

00:23:56.139 --> 00:23:56.379
 feet

00:23:56.379 --> 00:23:57.279
 listening

00:23:57.279 --> 00:23:57.939
 in Luke

00:23:57.939 --> 00:23:58.619
 chapter 8

00:23:58.619 --> 00:23:59.119
 we are

00:23:59.119 --> 00:23:59.619
 introduced

00:23:59.619 --> 00:24:00.099
 Luke does

00:24:00.099 --> 00:24:00.419
 a great

00:24:00.419 --> 00:24:00.719
 job in

00:24:00.719 --> 00:24:01.259
 the Gospels

00:24:01.259 --> 00:24:01.659
 but also

00:24:01.659 --> 00:24:02.299
 through the

00:24:02.299 --> 00:24:03.279
 book of Acts

00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:04.259
 of seeing

00:24:04.259 --> 00:24:05.119
 how Christ

00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:05.740
 and his

00:24:05.740 --> 00:24:06.819
 people

00:24:06.819 --> 00:24:07.919
 elevated

00:24:07.919 --> 00:24:08.619
 the standing

00:24:08.619 --> 00:24:09.219
 of women

00:24:09.219 --> 00:24:09.879
 in Luke

00:24:09.879 --> 00:24:10.219
 8

00:24:10.219 --> 00:24:10.779
 women

00:24:10.779 --> 00:24:11.639
 were following

00:24:11.639 --> 00:24:12.139
 Jesus

00:24:12.139 --> 00:24:12.779
 they were

00:24:12.779 --> 00:24:13.319
 participating

00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:14.039
 they were

00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:14.459
 learning

00:24:14.459 --> 00:24:15.019
 they were

00:24:15.019 --> 00:24:15.459
 sharing

00:24:15.459 --> 00:24:16.339
 resources

00:24:16.339 --> 00:24:18.299
 so here

00:24:18.299 --> 00:24:18.799
 also

00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:19.599
 Mary

00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:21.099
 countercultural

00:24:22.719 --> 00:24:23.199

00:24:23.539 --> 00:24:24.120
 a rabbi

00:24:24.120 --> 00:24:24.740
 they didn't

00:24:24.740 --> 00:24:25.220
 even sit

00:24:25.220 --> 00:24:25.960
 anywhere near

00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:26.700
 the rabbi

00:24:26.700 --> 00:24:27.559
 they waited

00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:28.559
 until the

 man in their

00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:29.980
 life told

00:24:29.980 --> 00:24:30.360
 them what

00:24:30.360 --> 00:24:31.100
 to believe

00:24:31.100 --> 00:24:31.580
 and to

00:24:31.580 --> 00:24:31.940
 think

00:24:31.940 --> 00:24:33.080
 Mary

00:24:33.080 --> 00:24:34.180
 sat at

00:24:34.180 --> 00:24:34.600
 his feet

00:24:34.600 --> 00:24:34.940

00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:36.740
 way

00:24:36.740 --> 00:24:37.519
 sitting at

00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:37.860
 his feet

00:24:37.860 --> 00:24:38.519
 learning

00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:39.440
 seeking to

00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:40.059
 take all

00:24:40.059 --> 00:24:40.400

00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:40.759
 could

00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:41.420

00:24:42.600 --> 00:24:43.140
 from him

00:24:43.140 --> 00:24:46.940

00:24:46.940 --> 00:24:47.380
 Martha

00:24:47.380 --> 00:24:49.380
 was

00:24:49.380 --> 00:24:49.980

00:24:49.980 --> 00:24:51.259
 with

00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:55.440

00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:22.259
 of

00:26:22.259 --> 00:26:22.539
 us

00:26:22.539 --> 00:26:24.319
 can

00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:24.379
 you

00:26:24.379 --> 00:26:24.539
 imagine

00:26:24.539 --> 00:26:24.859
 Peter

00:26:24.859 --> 00:26:25.279
 James

00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:25.459
 and

00:26:25.459 --> 00:26:25.799
 John

00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:26.839
 they

00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:27.000
 had

00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:27.339
 seen

00:26:27.339 --> 00:26:27.539
 the

00:26:27.539 --> 00:26:28.159
 revealed

00:26:28.159 --> 00:26:28.799
 glory

00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:29.119
 of

00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:29.719
 Jesus

00:26:29.719 --> 00:26:30.740
 you

00:26:30.740 --> 00:26:30.899
 think

00:26:30.899 --> 00:26:31.039
 they

00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:31.240
 might

00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:31.319
 have

00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:31.459
 been

00:26:31.459 --> 00:26:31.719
 just

00:26:31.719 --> 00:26:32.119
 shaking

00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:32.299
 a

00:26:32.299 --> 00:26:32.399
 little

00:26:32.399 --> 00:26:32.699
 bit

00:26:32.699 --> 00:26:33.519
 Martha

00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:34.859
 do

00:26:34.859 --> 00:26:35.219
 you

00:26:35.219 --> 00:26:36.079
 know

00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:36.659
 who

00:26:36.659 --> 00:26:36.979
 you're

00:26:36.979 --> 00:26:37.459
 talking

00:26:37.459 --> 00:26:37.919
 to

00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:40.039
 how

00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:40.340
 often

00:26:40.340 --> 00:26:40.560
 we

00:26:40.560 --> 00:26:41.080
 forget

00:26:41.080 --> 00:26:42.360
 who

00:26:42.360 --> 00:26:42.560
 we're

00:26:42.560 --> 00:26:42.940
 talking

00:26:42.940 --> 00:26:43.300
 to

00:26:43.300 --> 00:26:44.100
 when

00:26:44.100 --> 00:26:44.240
 we

00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:44.400
 have

00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:44.860
 misordered

00:26:44.860 --> 00:26:45.460
 priorities

00:26:45.460 --> 00:26:46.539
 telling

00:26:46.539 --> 00:26:47.039
 him

00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:49.019
 our

00:26:49.019 --> 00:26:49.440
 plan

00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:50.200
 and

00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:50.580
 expecting

00:26:50.580 --> 00:26:51.019
 him

00:26:51.019 --> 00:26:51.580
 to

00:26:51.580 --> 00:26:51.840
 carry

00:26:51.840 --> 00:26:52.019
 it

00:26:52.019 --> 00:26:52.320
 out

00:26:52.320 --> 00:26:55.600
 but

00:26:55.600 --> 00:26:55.700
 the

00:26:55.700 --> 00:26:55.820
 Lord

00:26:55.820 --> 00:26:56.180
 answered

00:26:56.180 --> 00:26:56.460
 her

00:26:56.460 --> 00:26:57.259
 Martha

00:26:57.259 --> 00:26:58.500
 Martha

00:26:58.500 --> 00:26:59.440
 you

00:26:59.440 --> 00:26:59.620
 were

00:26:59.620 --> 00:27:00.160
 anxious

00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:00.600
 and

00:27:00.600 --> 00:27:00.960
 troubled

00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:01.880
 about

00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:02.220
 many

00:27:02.220 --> 00:27:02.740
 things

00:27:02.740 --> 00:27:04.800
 with

00:27:04.800 --> 00:27:05.259
 misordered

00:27:05.259 --> 00:27:05.740
 priorities

00:27:05.740 --> 00:27:06.160
 we

00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:06.900
 can

00:27:06.900 --> 00:27:07.240
 easily

00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:07.700
 become

00:27:07.700 --> 00:27:08.299
 anxious

00:27:08.299 --> 00:27:09.359
 we

00:27:09.359 --> 00:27:09.440
 can

00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:09.579
 be

00:27:09.579 --> 00:27:09.980
 troubled

00:27:09.980 --> 00:27:11.019
 about

00:27:11.019 --> 00:27:12.380
 many

00:27:12.380 --> 00:27:12.940
 things

00:27:12.940 --> 00:27:14.620
 and

00:27:14.620 --> 00:27:14.720
 I

00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:15.000
 wonder

00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:15.720
 if

00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:16.039
 Jesus

00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:16.319
 was

00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:16.759
 thinking

00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:18.779
 Martha

00:27:18.779 --> 00:27:19.519
 Martha

00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:21.839
 in

00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:22.140
 just

00:27:22.140 --> 00:27:22.480
 a few

00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:22.960
 weeks

00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:24.480
 you're

00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:24.620
 going

00:27:24.620 --> 00:27:24.859
 to have

00:27:24.859 --> 00:27:25.180
 something

00:27:25.180 --> 00:27:25.460
 to

00:27:25.460 --> 00:27:25.839
 really

00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:26.579
 be

00:27:26.579 --> 00:27:26.900
 anxious

00:27:26.900 --> 00:27:27.319
 and

00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:27.579
 troubled

00:27:27.579 --> 00:27:27.960
 about

00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:29.720
 your

00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:29.960
 brother

00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:30.440
 Lazarus

00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:30.559
 is

00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:30.680
 going

00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:30.799
 to

00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:30.980
 get

00:27:30.980 --> 00:27:31.359
 sick

00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:33.720
 and

00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:34.019
 die

00:27:34.019 --> 00:27:37.299
 when

00:27:37.299 --> 00:27:37.420
 we

00:27:37.420 --> 00:27:37.559
 have

00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:37.980
 misordered

00:27:37.980 --> 00:27:38.599
 priorities

00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:39.259
 little

00:27:39.259 --> 00:27:39.819
 things

00:27:39.819 --> 00:27:40.619
 become

00:27:40.619 --> 00:27:41.519
 ultimate

00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:42.119
 things

00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:44.839
 and

00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:45.019
 we

00:27:45.019 --> 00:27:45.940
 deny

00:27:45.940 --> 00:27:46.319
 ourselves

00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:46.500
 from

00:27:46.500 --> 00:27:46.619
 the

00:27:46.619 --> 00:27:47.059
 resources

00:27:47.059 --> 00:27:47.519
 that

00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:47.740
 God

00:27:47.740 --> 00:27:47.960
 wants

00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:48.099
 to

00:27:48.099 --> 00:27:48.400
 invest

00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:48.539
 in

00:27:48.539 --> 00:27:48.680
 our

00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:48.980
 lives

00:27:48.980 --> 00:27:49.079
 in

00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:49.240
 a

00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:49.599
 daily

00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:50.460
 personal

00:27:50.460 --> 00:27:50.920
 way

00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:53.079
 but

00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:53.299
 one

00:27:53.299 --> 00:27:53.500
 thing

00:27:53.500 --> 00:27:53.639
 is

00:27:53.639 --> 00:27:54.220
 necessary

00:27:54.220 --> 00:27:55.960
 one

00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:56.139
 thing

00:27:56.139 --> 00:27:56.319
 is

00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:56.779
 crucial

00:27:56.779 --> 00:27:57.799
 and

00:27:57.799 --> 00:27:58.019
 Mary

00:27:58.019 --> 00:27:58.259
 has

00:27:58.259 --> 00:27:58.599
 chosen

00:27:58.599 --> 00:27:58.839
 the

00:27:58.839 --> 00:27:59.000
 good

00:27:59.000 --> 00:27:59.480
 portion

00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:00.220
 which

00:28:00.220 --> 00:28:00.519
 will

00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:00.819
 not

00:28:00.819 --> 00:28:01.039
 be

00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:01.440
 taken

00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:02.599
 from

00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:02.839
 her

00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:04.699
 yes

00:28:04.699 --> 00:28:05.059
 we

00:28:05.059 --> 00:28:05.359
 should

00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:05.659
 set

00:28:05.659 --> 00:28:06.099
 time

00:28:06.099 --> 00:28:06.319
 to

00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:06.779
 regularly

00:28:06.779 --> 00:28:07.439
 sit

00:28:07.439 --> 00:28:07.599
 at

00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:07.839
 Jesus

00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:08.339
 feet

00:28:08.339 --> 00:28:09.179
 in

00:28:09.179 --> 00:28:09.359
 his

00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:09.799
 word

00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:10.579
 reflecting

00:28:10.579 --> 00:28:10.839
 on

00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:11.059
 it

00:28:11.059 --> 00:28:11.740
 and

00:28:11.740 --> 00:28:12.059
 many

00:28:12.059 --> 00:28:12.480
 followers

00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:12.720
 of

00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:13.000
 Jesus

00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:13.339
 have

00:28:13.339 --> 00:28:13.639
 found

00:28:13.639 --> 00:28:14.319
 mornings

00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:15.199
 helpful

00:28:15.199 --> 00:28:15.879
 to

00:28:15.879 --> 00:28:16.220
 be able

00:28:16.220 --> 00:28:16.359
 to have

00:28:16.359 --> 00:28:16.659
 something

00:28:16.659 --> 00:28:17.139
 to meditate

00:28:17.139 --> 00:28:17.519
 on

00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:18.279
 all day

00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:19.740
 but

00:28:19.740 --> 00:28:20.679
 we

00:28:20.679 --> 00:28:20.839
 should

00:28:20.839 --> 00:28:21.059
 have

00:28:21.059 --> 00:28:21.259
 a

 of

00:28:23.639 --> 00:28:24.059
 humility

00:28:24.059 --> 00:28:25.399
 we

00:28:25.399 --> 00:28:25.559
 should

00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:25.939
 desire

00:28:25.939 --> 00:28:26.220
 his

 his

00:28:34.220 --> 00:28:36.179
 Mary

00:28:36.179 --> 00:28:36.480
 was

00:28:42.500 --> 00:28:42.599
 the
