00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.480
 You are listening to a message from Southwood Presbyterian Church in Huntsville, Alabama.

00:00:06.980 --> 00:00:09.560
 Our passion is to experience and express grace.

00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:10.620
 Join us.

00:00:12.339 --> 00:00:14.900
 Turn with me, if you will, to Luke 24.

00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:21.080
 Luke 24 is page 885 of the Bible in the pew in front of you.

00:00:23.740 --> 00:00:26.379
 Don't forget what we've been doing up in the service this long.

00:00:26.379 --> 00:00:29.280
 This is merely a continuation of this conversation.

00:00:30.620 --> 00:00:33.799
 God sends us into the world with good news.

00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:39.700
 We're nearing the end here of the account that Luke gives us of Jesus' life.

00:00:39.939 --> 00:00:43.539
 And we get this morning one more encounter of the risen Jesus.

00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:46.920
 Probably still the night of Easter Sunday.

00:00:48.060 --> 00:00:50.159
 And he shows up with his disciples.

00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:53.400
 He says some things that they've heard before.

00:00:53.700 --> 00:00:57.579
 But listen as I read for some new things.

00:00:57.579 --> 00:01:00.799
 Especially toward the end of this interaction.

00:01:00.979 --> 00:01:06.299
 It's powerful stuff for who they are and who we are to be.

00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:10.539
 Remember, this is God's holy word.

00:01:10.980 --> 00:01:14.400
 The reliable way to know who God is.

00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:20.079
 The definitive authority on who you and I are designed to be.

00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:27.340
 The only thing that will always direct you and your life to be shaped in the right direction.

00:01:28.459 --> 00:01:31.039
 Luke 24 at verse 36.

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:40.240
 As they, the disciples, were talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them,

00:01:40.660 --> 00:01:41.660
 Peace to you.

00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:45.820
 But they were startled and frightened and thought they saw a spirit.

00:01:46.660 --> 00:01:49.060
 And he said to them, Why are you troubled?

00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.500
 And why do doubts arise in your hearts?

00:01:51.660 --> 00:01:54.840
 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself.

00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:59.900
 Touch me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.

00:02:01.060 --> 00:02:04.240
 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:09.939
 And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, he said to them,

00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:12.460
 Have you had anything here to eat?

00:02:13.539 --> 00:02:17.340
 They gave him a piece of broiled fish and he took it and ate it before them.

00:02:18.620 --> 00:02:22.759
 Then he said to them, These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you.

00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:28.719
 That everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.

00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.859
 Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures and said to them,

00:02:33.179 --> 00:02:38.519
 Thus it is written that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead.

00:02:38.979 --> 00:02:45.840
 And that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations beginning from Jerusalem.

00:02:46.659 --> 00:02:49.579
 You are witnesses of these things.

00:02:49.580 --> 00:02:53.580
 And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you.

00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:58.800
 But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.

00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:00.880
 Pray with me.

00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:05.360
 Father, thank you for your word.

00:03:06.020 --> 00:03:09.220
 And we ask now that that promised Holy Spirit,

00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:12.980
 that Jesus told us he's sending upon us,

00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.260
 would meet with us and so work in our hearts this morning

00:03:16.259 --> 00:03:18.979
 that we would be different people,

00:03:18.979 --> 00:03:22.179
 that we would be those that you call us to be,

00:03:22.399 --> 00:03:24.319
 that we would share your heart.

00:03:25.899 --> 00:03:30.560
 Father, do that work in us by your spirit through your word.

00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.280
 You love to do that.

00:03:32.359 --> 00:03:35.319
 And that's why we've come this morning to your word

00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:42.500
 expectantly and needy of you to speak and you to work and act in and through us.

00:03:42.500 --> 00:03:46.780
 So we ask it and we look forward to what you'll do in Jesus' name.

00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:48.099
 Amen.

00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:54.500
 When you are introducing yourself to someone for the first time,

00:03:54.620 --> 00:03:55.599
 you might say,

00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:57.680
 Hey, I'm a pastor.

00:03:58.400 --> 00:03:59.400
 I'm an engineer.

00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:01.639
 I'm a dental hygienist.

00:04:01.979 --> 00:04:03.340
 I'm an auto mechanic.

00:04:03.340 --> 00:04:08.780
 Whatever it is that you spend much of your time doing,

00:04:09.259 --> 00:04:12.939
 you know, chauffeur for busy young people,

00:04:13.420 --> 00:04:16.500
 whatever it is that you're doing all the time.

00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:19.079
 But sometimes when we say that,

00:04:19.180 --> 00:04:24.959
 we forget that that's not the primary part of our identity.

00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:32.539
 What we do is not supposed to be the same as who we are.

00:04:33.019 --> 00:04:38.959
 Child of God, image bearer of the King, follower of Christ.

00:04:39.659 --> 00:04:44.659
 Those things are more fundamental to our identity, right?

00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:52.299
 Perhaps this passage would suggest that we could accurately introduce ourselves and say,

00:04:52.299 --> 00:04:53.500
 I'm a witness.

00:04:53.500 --> 00:04:56.000
 Anybody want to start doing that?

00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.259
 Just practice over the next few weeks with me just to introduce yourself.

00:04:59.959 --> 00:05:01.939
 Nobody wants to do that.

00:05:02.699 --> 00:05:06.120
 But you could theoretically begin to say,

00:05:06.220 --> 00:05:07.439
 Hey, I'm a witness.

00:05:08.300 --> 00:05:09.879
 Jesus says here and elsewhere,

00:05:10.339 --> 00:05:11.699
 that's the identity,

00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.560
 the calling of his followers.

00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:17.620
 A witness.

00:05:17.980 --> 00:05:18.720
 Someone, you know,

00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:20.519
 with a story to tell.

00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:22.959
 Something he has seen.

00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.339
 Something she has experienced.

00:05:25.779 --> 00:05:29.239
 Something he or she needs to share.

00:05:30.620 --> 00:05:32.339
 The word in the Bible, witness,

00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:35.959
 speaks to someone with a truth to testify to.

00:05:36.339 --> 00:05:38.299
 A reality to recount.

00:05:40.039 --> 00:05:47.419
 And Jesus in this passage shows how vital it is for his followers to be witnesses.

00:05:47.420 --> 00:05:50.460
 I mean, think about it.

00:05:50.460 --> 00:05:57.060
 We've got just a very small window of time between Jesus rising from the dead on Easter

00:05:57.060 --> 00:05:59.040
 and then ascending into heaven.

00:05:59.300 --> 00:06:02.620
 There's only a little bit of time he has with his followers to say,

00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:03.700
 here's what you're to be about.

00:06:03.819 --> 00:06:05.000
 Here's what's most important.

00:06:05.400 --> 00:06:07.580
 And what is it that's most important to Jesus?

00:06:07.579 --> 00:06:11.339
 Well, we've read on Easter afternoon,

00:06:11.500 --> 00:06:14.579
 he's found these followers on the road to Emmaus.

00:06:14.699 --> 00:06:15.300
 They're discouraged.

00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.759
 And he teaches them about himself, about the Bible,

00:06:19.180 --> 00:06:22.319
 revealing to them as they break bread who he is.

00:06:22.699 --> 00:06:25.539
 He's committed to our knowing him, right?

00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:27.620
 That's what we learned a couple weeks ago.

00:06:27.699 --> 00:06:31.079
 Jesus is committed to our knowing him.

00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.019
 And this passage shows us that in addition to that,

00:06:34.359 --> 00:06:35.079
 he is committed.

00:06:35.259 --> 00:06:39.279
 What's important to him is our making him known.

00:06:40.500 --> 00:06:43.300
 That's why the witnesses part comes in.

00:06:43.719 --> 00:06:47.599
 Jesus' plan for his kingdom involves witnesses.

00:06:48.799 --> 00:06:51.839
 And he makes sure here that he's prepared them with the right story,

00:06:51.939 --> 00:06:55.299
 the right experience that needs to be shared.

00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:00.079
 Watch how this unfolds as Jesus appears to his followers.

00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.279
 As they were talking about these things,

00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.620
 Jesus himself stood among them.

00:07:07.459 --> 00:07:08.479
 Jesus does it again.

00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:09.659
 He just shows up, right?

00:07:10.139 --> 00:07:12.300
 He keeps doing this now since he's risen,

00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:14.199
 just showing up with his followers.

00:07:14.459 --> 00:07:17.240
 And now here it's with the fuller group of disciples

00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:19.379
 for the first time since his resurrection.

00:07:19.899 --> 00:07:21.279
 And what's he going to say to them?

00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:24.419
 You know, what do you think?

00:07:24.539 --> 00:07:25.759
 I mean, after all,

00:07:25.860 --> 00:07:29.799
 they've all in one way or another just abandoned him.

00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:30.460
 Haven't they?

00:07:32.139 --> 00:07:34.360
 Some of them physically left the premises.

00:07:34.620 --> 00:07:37.300
 Some denied him multiple times.

00:07:37.660 --> 00:07:38.720
 No one's been there for him.

00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.079
 They didn't even understand what he was talking about,

00:07:41.139 --> 00:07:42.280
 that he was going to do.

00:07:42.520 --> 00:07:45.199
 They have failed him at the key moment.

00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:52.860
 Kids, have you ever had your mom say to you,

00:07:53.379 --> 00:07:55.699
 just wait till your father comes home?

00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:59.620
 I heard that a lot when I was a kid.

00:07:59.819 --> 00:08:01.639
 And it's not an exciting thing,

00:08:01.699 --> 00:08:03.740
 like he might bring you a present or something.

00:08:04.099 --> 00:08:05.860
 You hear those words and you think,

00:08:05.980 --> 00:08:07.240
 uh-oh, right?

00:08:07.620 --> 00:08:09.680
 Just wait till your father comes home.

00:08:10.180 --> 00:08:12.120
 What it means is that he's coming home

00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.740
 to give you at least a part of what you deserve, right?

00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:17.879
 Now, not that your mom couldn't do it.

00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.800
 She could, but what she's saying is

00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:23.420
 that I've done everything.

00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:25.620
 I'm through with you for now.

00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:29.780
 And maybe she needed to cool off a bit too, possibly.

00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:32.840
 But here comes Jesus,

00:08:33.340 --> 00:08:36.700
 the very one they've abandoned coming home, right?

00:08:36.700 --> 00:08:39.580
 Standing right there with them.

00:08:40.620 --> 00:08:43.560
 And he could give them the talking to they deserve, right?

00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:44.900
 It should have started with,

00:08:45.040 --> 00:08:46.320
 with how could you?

00:08:47.180 --> 00:08:48.540
 Or why did you not?

00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.020
 Or do you have any idea?

00:08:53.900 --> 00:08:56.300
 But Jesus' first word is different.

00:08:56.860 --> 00:08:58.280
 What's Jesus' first word?

00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:00.800
 Peace.

00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:04.840
 Peace to you.

00:09:06.700 --> 00:09:10.580
 It's a word that to Luke is a microcosm

00:09:10.580 --> 00:09:12.860
 of all of salvation.

00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:19.580
 Jesus shows up bringing salvation in himself.

00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:22.180
 Peace between God and man here

00:09:22.180 --> 00:09:25.040
 because of what he has done on the cross

00:09:25.040 --> 00:09:26.320
 and in the empty tomb.

00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:28.000
 And a witness for Jesus

00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.660
 has to know that that's who he is.

00:09:30.659 --> 00:09:34.899
 In addition, a witness will need to know

00:09:34.899 --> 00:09:38.679
 that he is the physically resurrected Lord.

00:09:39.459 --> 00:09:41.240
 That this is Jesus himself.

00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.740
 Jesus lets them do several things here, doesn't he?

00:09:43.839 --> 00:09:45.819
 He lets them touch his hands

00:09:45.819 --> 00:09:47.620
 and touch his feet.

00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:49.159
 He eats a fish

00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:51.740
 right there in front of them.

00:09:52.439 --> 00:09:53.439
 What's all that about?

00:09:53.579 --> 00:09:55.819
 Apparently it's really important

00:09:55.820 --> 00:09:59.700
 that they experience his physical reality.

00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:02.180
 A new, glorious body.

00:10:02.280 --> 00:10:03.520
 For sure there's things different.

00:10:03.620 --> 00:10:05.040
 They struggle to recognize him.

00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:07.140
 Yet nonetheless he shows them

00:10:07.140 --> 00:10:09.100
 it is I myself.

00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.660
 It is Jesus himself who's with them.

00:10:11.700 --> 00:10:14.080
 The Bible does not teach the idea

00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:15.800
 of a figurative resurrection

00:10:15.800 --> 00:10:17.740
 but rather the reality

00:10:17.740 --> 00:10:19.760
 of a bodily resurrection.

00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:23.019
 This is not some Gnostic Christianity

00:10:23.019 --> 00:10:24.559
 where the goal of our lives

00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.659
 is now escaping this world

00:10:26.659 --> 00:10:27.559
 and these bodies

00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:29.299
 to something immaterial

00:10:29.299 --> 00:10:32.100
 and floating on clouds forever.

00:10:32.460 --> 00:10:32.840
 No.

00:10:34.439 --> 00:10:36.019
 The direction this is headed

00:10:36.019 --> 00:10:38.139
 is a renewed, glorified,

00:10:38.340 --> 00:10:40.240
 fully human existence

00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.980
 made perfect in God's image.

00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:45.279
 Jesus is committed

00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:47.939
 to their knowing him.

00:10:47.940 --> 00:10:50.100
 who he really is.

00:10:50.560 --> 00:10:52.020
 What he has really done.

00:10:52.140 --> 00:10:54.180
 So he's now taught for hours.

00:10:54.380 --> 00:10:56.100
 He's patiently lingered

00:10:56.100 --> 00:10:57.300
 with slow disciples

00:10:57.300 --> 00:10:58.660
 who didn't recognize him.

00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:00.160
 He's shown up among them.

00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:01.380
 He's let them touch him.

00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:02.920
 He's eaten with them.

00:11:03.140 --> 00:11:05.760
 All so that they can know him

00:11:05.760 --> 00:11:08.340
 and then make known

00:11:08.340 --> 00:11:09.900
 who he is.

00:11:10.980 --> 00:11:12.480
 If you've been at Southwood

00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:13.960
 you should hear echoes

00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:17.240
 of experience and express grace.

00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:18.720
 know him

00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:20.759
 and make him known.

00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:23.000
 That's what this is about.

00:11:23.580 --> 00:11:24.519
 And I'll admit here

00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:25.799
 that there are differences

00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:27.860
 between what it means

00:11:27.860 --> 00:11:29.139
 for these first disciples

00:11:29.139 --> 00:11:30.200
 to be witnesses

00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:32.659
 and for us today

00:11:32.659 --> 00:11:33.759
 to be witnesses.

00:11:34.180 --> 00:11:35.820
 We all have a story to share.

00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:38.480
 They have a first-hand experience,

00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:39.000
 don't they,

00:11:39.060 --> 00:11:41.120
 of the risen Jesus

00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:42.899
 appearing over and over

00:11:42.899 --> 00:11:43.759
 in those weeks

00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:45.399
 to over 500 of them

00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:46.519
 at one time.

00:11:48.220 --> 00:11:49.779
 Eyewitness accounts

00:11:49.779 --> 00:11:51.620
 that they have

00:11:51.620 --> 00:11:53.319
 and that they then witness

00:11:53.319 --> 00:11:54.899
 to us about

00:11:54.899 --> 00:11:56.319
 in the Bible

00:11:56.319 --> 00:11:58.299
 for the rest of the New Testament

00:11:58.299 --> 00:11:59.699
 so that we too

00:11:59.699 --> 00:12:00.840
 can know the reality,

00:12:01.179 --> 00:12:03.039
 the truth of Jesus

00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:04.860
 and therefore have a story

00:12:04.860 --> 00:12:06.240
 to share.

00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.980
 I love how they invite us

00:12:08.980 --> 00:12:09.480
 into that.

00:12:09.940 --> 00:12:10.919
 That's the design

00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:12.220
 of God's word here

00:12:12.220 --> 00:12:13.279
 and they're inviting us

00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:13.960
 into that story

00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:15.060
 with all of our emotions

00:12:15.060 --> 00:12:16.139
 that we might have

00:12:16.139 --> 00:12:17.779
 about this risen Jesus.

00:12:17.980 --> 00:12:19.220
 Just see if your feelings

00:12:19.220 --> 00:12:19.879
 about Jesus

00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:20.860
 aren't represented

00:12:20.860 --> 00:12:22.320
 here in this room

00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:23.120
 where the disciples

00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:24.720
 are startled,

00:12:26.980 --> 00:12:27.480
 frightened,

00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:28.200
 anybody,

00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:30.180
 troubled,

00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:32.580
 doubting,

00:12:32.580 --> 00:12:35.340
 and Jesus comes

00:12:35.340 --> 00:12:36.020
 in the midst

00:12:36.020 --> 00:12:36.879
 of all those emotions

00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:37.420
 and says,

00:12:37.540 --> 00:12:38.879
 experience me,

00:12:39.220 --> 00:12:40.900
 know me.

00:12:42.280 --> 00:12:42.800
 And then even

00:12:42.800 --> 00:12:43.820
 as they touch him

00:12:43.820 --> 00:12:44.720
 and his hands

00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:45.580
 and his feet

00:12:45.580 --> 00:12:47.800
 and they can't deny

00:12:47.800 --> 00:12:48.560
 who he is,

00:12:48.660 --> 00:12:49.580
 they know it's Jesus

00:12:49.580 --> 00:12:51.000
 but actually says

00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:52.639
 they disbelieve

00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:53.560
 with joy.

00:12:54.820 --> 00:12:55.420
 We would say

00:12:55.420 --> 00:12:56.620
 it's too good

00:12:56.620 --> 00:12:57.480
 to be true.

00:12:58.640 --> 00:13:00.020
 I know it's true

00:13:00.020 --> 00:13:00.940
 but I just can't wrap

00:13:00.940 --> 00:13:01.720
 my mind around it.

00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:02.460
 Some of you have felt

00:13:02.460 --> 00:13:04.460
 that way about Jesus,

00:13:04.680 --> 00:13:05.139
 haven't you?

00:13:05.379 --> 00:13:06.960
 You know those emotions

00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:08.600
 and the disciples here

00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:10.759
 feel all of those things

00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:11.899
 that we feel

00:13:11.899 --> 00:13:12.779
 in different ways

00:13:12.779 --> 00:13:13.980
 in our own hearts

00:13:13.980 --> 00:13:15.360
 about the story,

00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:17.000
 this incredible story.

00:13:17.420 --> 00:13:18.340
 It's crazy

00:13:18.340 --> 00:13:19.899
 of a man rising

00:13:19.899 --> 00:13:20.920
 from the dead

00:13:20.920 --> 00:13:23.220
 and they say,

00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:24.200
 come with us.

00:13:24.560 --> 00:13:25.860
 We're going to tell you

00:13:25.860 --> 00:13:26.320
 about it

00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.460
 and they're going to invite you

00:13:28.460 --> 00:13:29.160
 to come with them

00:13:29.160 --> 00:13:30.519
 as Jesus shows up

00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:31.600
 in real time

00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:33.299
 and soothes their fears

00:13:33.299 --> 00:13:35.199
 with his presence.

00:13:35.819 --> 00:13:38.379
 He calms their anxieties

00:13:38.379 --> 00:13:40.059
 with his words.

00:13:40.539 --> 00:13:42.600
 He shatters their doubts

00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:44.100
 with his reality

00:13:44.100 --> 00:13:45.319
 and truth.

00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:47.779
 Jesus wants us

00:13:47.779 --> 00:13:50.279
 to know him like that too.

00:13:52.079 --> 00:13:52.539
 And so,

00:13:53.299 --> 00:13:54.120
 again,

00:13:54.460 --> 00:13:56.059
 for the third time now

00:13:56.059 --> 00:13:57.100
 on Easter Sunday,

00:13:57.100 --> 00:13:58.779
 someone wanting

00:13:58.779 --> 00:13:59.920
 to know Jesus

00:13:59.920 --> 00:14:01.100
 is pointed where?

00:14:04.680 --> 00:14:05.960
 To the Old Testament

00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:06.620
 scriptures.

00:14:07.180 --> 00:14:07.940
 To the Bible.

00:14:08.580 --> 00:14:10.100
 Verse 44.

00:14:10.899 --> 00:14:12.300
 Then Jesus said to them,

00:14:12.299 --> 00:14:14.639
 these are my words

00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:15.939
 that I spoke to you

00:14:15.939 --> 00:14:17.079
 while I was still with you

00:14:17.079 --> 00:14:18.759
 that everything written

00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:19.559
 about me

00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:20.679
 in the law of Moses

00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:22.179
 and the prophets

00:14:22.179 --> 00:14:23.439
 and the Psalms,

00:14:23.500 --> 00:14:24.339
 that's the whole thing

00:14:24.339 --> 00:14:24.919
 by the way,

00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:25.799
 Old Testament,

00:14:26.179 --> 00:14:28.039
 must be fulfilled.

00:14:28.439 --> 00:14:29.879
 Then he opened their minds

00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:31.299
 to understand

00:14:31.299 --> 00:14:32.479
 the scriptures.

00:14:34.059 --> 00:14:35.179
 What's Jesus opening

00:14:35.179 --> 00:14:36.500
 their minds to

00:14:36.500 --> 00:14:37.479
 in God's word?

00:14:37.539 --> 00:14:38.179
 There's a lot of stuff

00:14:38.179 --> 00:14:38.799
 in here, right?

00:14:39.599 --> 00:14:41.000
 It's the same things

00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:42.039
 he's been telling us

00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:43.939
 are so vitally important

00:14:43.939 --> 00:14:44.679
 over and over.

00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:45.519
 He's been saying it

00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:46.799
 through this last half

00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:47.259
 of Luke.

00:14:47.599 --> 00:14:48.299
 Keep reading.

00:14:49.219 --> 00:14:49.939
 He said to them,

00:14:50.079 --> 00:14:50.879
 thus it is written

00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:52.079
 that the Christ

00:14:52.079 --> 00:14:53.159
 should suffer

00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:54.919
 and on the third day

00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:57.079
 rise from the dead.

00:14:57.639 --> 00:14:58.539
 We've heard this, right?

00:14:58.639 --> 00:14:59.859
 God's story,

00:15:00.179 --> 00:15:01.719
 the one Jesus' witnesses

00:15:01.719 --> 00:15:02.919
 must tell

00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:04.299
 features the death

00:15:04.299 --> 00:15:05.859
 and the resurrection

00:15:05.859 --> 00:15:07.419
 of Jesus.

00:15:07.419 --> 00:15:07.620
 Jesus.

00:15:08.699 --> 00:15:09.199
 Again,

00:15:09.339 --> 00:15:10.639
 he's showing them

00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:11.959
 how this is exactly

00:15:11.959 --> 00:15:12.939
 why he came.

00:15:13.299 --> 00:15:14.259
 Why God has been

00:15:14.259 --> 00:15:15.360
 telling his people

00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:16.439
 from the beginning

00:15:16.439 --> 00:15:18.639
 that it must be this way.

00:15:19.459 --> 00:15:20.099
 Remember we talked

00:15:20.099 --> 00:15:21.219
 a couple of weeks ago

00:15:21.219 --> 00:15:22.019
 how this whole

00:15:22.019 --> 00:15:23.399
 Old Testament story

00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:25.419
 points to Jesus.

00:15:25.719 --> 00:15:26.620
 Over and over

00:15:26.620 --> 00:15:28.719
 it points to a promised king

00:15:28.719 --> 00:15:29.519
 who would die

00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:30.740
 to rescue God's people

00:15:30.740 --> 00:15:32.599
 and restore their relationship

00:15:32.599 --> 00:15:33.279
 with him.

00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:35.139
 Jesus opens

00:15:35.139 --> 00:15:36.480
 their Bibles

00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:38.159
 with them again.

00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:40.080
 We suspect

00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:41.019
 they were already open

00:15:41.019 --> 00:15:42.100
 when he showed up

00:15:42.100 --> 00:15:42.960
 because they were talking

00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:43.679
 to each other

00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:45.419
 about Jesus that night.

00:15:46.259 --> 00:15:47.480
 And now he opens

00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:48.379
 their minds

00:15:48.379 --> 00:15:49.120
 even more

00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:50.279
 to understand.

00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:53.220
 They understand

00:15:53.220 --> 00:15:53.759
 those really

00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:54.960
 vital things

00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:57.159
 but this time

00:15:57.159 --> 00:15:57.759
 there's actually

00:15:57.759 --> 00:15:59.200
 something new.

00:16:01.100 --> 00:16:02.120
 Y'all listen to me

00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:02.639
 for a second.

00:16:03.100 --> 00:16:04.580
 Jesus never

00:16:04.580 --> 00:16:06.399
 adds anything

00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:08.039
 to his core focus.

00:16:08.620 --> 00:16:09.259
 You've heard it

00:16:09.259 --> 00:16:09.919
 enough times

00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:10.299
 by now

00:16:10.299 --> 00:16:11.259
 to recognize it, right?

00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:12.200
 I am going

00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:12.899
 to Jerusalem.

00:16:13.139 --> 00:16:14.100
 I must go.

00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:15.500
 I must suffer.

00:16:15.500 --> 00:16:16.779
 I must die

00:16:16.779 --> 00:16:18.039
 and on the third day

00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:18.980
 be raised from the dead

00:16:18.980 --> 00:16:19.840
 and that is how

00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:21.100
 it goes every time.

00:16:21.460 --> 00:16:22.080
 End of story.

00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:23.519
 That's the good news, right?

00:16:24.340 --> 00:16:25.000
 The Savior

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:25.700
 coming.

00:16:25.700 --> 00:16:30.240
 But there's more?

00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:32.720
 This time

00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:33.640
 Jesus actually

00:16:33.640 --> 00:16:34.520
 goes on

00:16:34.520 --> 00:16:35.220
 and adds something

00:16:35.220 --> 00:16:36.120
 we haven't heard

00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:37.460
 in this context before

00:16:37.460 --> 00:16:38.720
 that he's teaching them

00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:39.440
 from the Bible

00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:40.660
 verse 47

00:16:40.660 --> 00:16:42.660
 and that repentance

00:16:42.660 --> 00:16:43.600
 and forgiveness

00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:44.440
 of sins

00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:45.520
 should be proclaimed

00:16:45.520 --> 00:16:46.600
 in his name

00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:47.900
 to all nations

00:16:47.900 --> 00:16:49.120
 beginning

00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:50.640
 from Jerusalem.

00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:52.400
 What's going on here?

00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:54.100
 What's going on

00:16:54.100 --> 00:16:54.520
 is that now

00:16:54.520 --> 00:16:55.200
 it's time to move

00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:56.360
 the mission forward.

00:16:57.340 --> 00:16:57.960
 The good news

00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:00.020
 is meant for everyone, right?

00:17:00.259 --> 00:17:01.540
 All these important things

00:17:01.540 --> 00:17:01.960
 have happened

00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:02.640
 now people need

00:17:02.640 --> 00:17:03.320
 to know about it.

00:17:03.620 --> 00:17:04.120
 Remember back

00:17:04.120 --> 00:17:04.819
 from the angels

00:17:04.819 --> 00:17:05.920
 to the shepherds

00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:07.680
 before Jesus even

00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:09.160
 enters into the world

00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:10.740
 Jesus has been promised

00:17:10.740 --> 00:17:12.319
 he's been promised

00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:13.400
 to be good news

00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:14.620
 of great joy

00:17:14.620 --> 00:17:18.100
 for all people.

00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:19.860
 There's news

00:17:19.860 --> 00:17:20.539
 to proclaim

00:17:20.539 --> 00:17:21.779
 in the name of Jesus

00:17:21.779 --> 00:17:23.779
 repent and believe

00:17:23.779 --> 00:17:24.680
 come back

00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:25.400
 to your father

00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:26.360
 be forgiven

00:17:26.360 --> 00:17:27.620
 and cleansed forever.

00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:30.039
 Jesus says

00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:30.240
 hey

00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:30.900
 I got a secret

00:17:30.900 --> 00:17:31.380
 for you

00:17:31.380 --> 00:17:32.740
 I'm not making

00:17:32.740 --> 00:17:33.560
 this stuff up

00:17:33.560 --> 00:17:35.299
 this is not new

00:17:35.299 --> 00:17:36.500
 this has always

00:17:36.500 --> 00:17:38.259
 been God's mission

00:17:38.259 --> 00:17:38.740
 it's just

00:17:38.740 --> 00:17:39.220
 you could only

00:17:39.220 --> 00:17:40.000
 handle a piece

00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:40.660
 at a time

00:17:40.660 --> 00:17:41.180
 for me

00:17:41.180 --> 00:17:41.960
 and even those things

00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:42.820
 you didn't understand.

00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:45.539
 It's like what we heard

00:17:45.539 --> 00:17:46.560
 Rob Futo say

00:17:46.560 --> 00:17:48.060
 in the video earlier

00:17:48.060 --> 00:17:49.060
 the church

00:17:49.060 --> 00:17:49.640
 is a

00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:50.840
 mission

00:17:50.840 --> 00:17:52.640
 not a club

00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:54.560
 it's not about

00:17:54.560 --> 00:17:55.220
 us

00:17:55.220 --> 00:17:55.820
 but about

00:17:55.820 --> 00:17:56.640
 those who

00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:57.380
 aren't here

00:17:57.380 --> 00:17:57.900
 yet

00:17:57.900 --> 00:17:58.580
 right?

00:17:59.700 --> 00:18:00.140
 That's true

00:18:00.140 --> 00:18:00.560
 for the church

00:18:00.560 --> 00:18:01.080
 in Hungary

00:18:01.080 --> 00:18:02.860
 it's true

00:18:02.860 --> 00:18:03.280
 for the church

00:18:03.280 --> 00:18:04.060
 in Huntsville

00:18:04.060 --> 00:18:05.160
 why?

00:18:05.500 --> 00:18:06.420
 Because it's

00:18:06.420 --> 00:18:07.720
 always been

00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:08.220
 true

00:18:08.220 --> 00:18:09.540
 of God's

00:18:09.540 --> 00:18:10.120
 people

00:18:10.120 --> 00:18:10.880
 the church

00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:11.840
 must be

00:18:11.840 --> 00:18:12.800
 on mission

00:18:12.800 --> 00:18:13.960
 to everyone

00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:14.780
 all nations

00:18:14.780 --> 00:18:15.680
 or it's not

00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:16.340
 the church

00:18:16.339 --> 00:18:16.459
 church

00:18:16.459 --> 00:18:18.819
 Jesus tells

00:18:18.819 --> 00:18:19.199
 them how

00:18:19.199 --> 00:18:19.859
 making his

00:18:19.859 --> 00:18:20.480
 name known

00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:21.079
 to the nations

00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:21.679
 has always

00:18:21.679 --> 00:18:22.819
 been crucial

00:18:22.819 --> 00:18:23.799
 to the story

00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:24.879
 man this must

00:18:24.879 --> 00:18:25.099
 have been

00:18:25.099 --> 00:18:25.740
 another great

00:18:25.740 --> 00:18:26.099
 sermon

00:18:26.099 --> 00:18:27.559
 like the one

00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:28.059
 on the road

00:18:28.059 --> 00:18:28.899
 to Emmaus

00:18:28.899 --> 00:18:29.299
 that I wanted

00:18:29.299 --> 00:18:29.819
 to be there

00:18:29.819 --> 00:18:30.159
 for

00:18:30.159 --> 00:18:31.019
 and as I

00:18:31.019 --> 00:18:31.399
 said then

00:18:31.399 --> 00:18:31.839
 I'm not sure

00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:32.480
 all Jesus

00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:33.299
 says as he

00:18:33.299 --> 00:18:33.839
 opens the

00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:34.459
 Bible for

00:18:34.459 --> 00:18:34.720
 them

00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:35.439
 but from

00:18:35.439 --> 00:18:35.779
 the rest

00:18:35.779 --> 00:18:36.000
 of the

00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:36.519
 New Testament

00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:37.139
 he told

00:18:37.139 --> 00:18:37.500
 at least

00:18:37.500 --> 00:18:38.579
 some

00:18:38.579 --> 00:18:39.839
 of this

00:18:39.839 --> 00:18:40.679
 story

00:18:40.679 --> 00:18:42.399
 a story

00:18:42.399 --> 00:18:43.599
 that God

00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:44.179
 who from

00:18:44.180 --> 00:18:45.420
 the first

00:18:45.420 --> 00:18:46.060
 time that

00:18:46.060 --> 00:18:46.440
 mankind

00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:47.360
 fell out

00:18:47.360 --> 00:18:47.660
 of that

00:18:47.660 --> 00:18:48.080
 intimate

00:18:48.080 --> 00:18:48.940
 relationship

00:18:48.940 --> 00:18:50.000
 that he

00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:50.720
 created them

00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:51.400
 for was

00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:52.420
 set on

00:18:52.420 --> 00:18:53.180
 rescuing

00:18:53.180 --> 00:18:54.259
 him

00:18:54.259 --> 00:18:55.620
 and he

00:18:55.620 --> 00:18:56.100
 started with

00:18:56.100 --> 00:18:56.580
 a special

00:18:56.580 --> 00:18:57.220
 relationship

00:18:57.220 --> 00:18:57.779
 with one

00:18:57.779 --> 00:18:58.180
 nation

00:18:58.180 --> 00:18:58.960
 one group

00:18:58.960 --> 00:18:59.500
 of people

00:18:59.500 --> 00:18:59.820
 right

00:18:59.820 --> 00:19:00.779
 but even

00:19:00.779 --> 00:19:01.060
 when he

00:19:01.060 --> 00:19:01.500
 blessed

00:19:01.500 --> 00:19:02.000
 Abraham

00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:02.840
 and Israel

00:19:02.840 --> 00:19:03.560
 it was

00:19:03.560 --> 00:19:03.960
 for the

00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:04.380
 sake of

00:19:04.380 --> 00:19:04.980
 all the

00:19:04.980 --> 00:19:05.460
 nations

00:19:05.460 --> 00:19:06.100
 for the

00:19:06.100 --> 00:19:06.519
 ends

00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:06.820
 of the

00:19:06.820 --> 00:19:07.200
 earth

00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:08.259
 and so

00:19:08.259 --> 00:19:08.500
 God

00:19:08.500 --> 00:19:08.940
 says to

00:19:08.940 --> 00:19:09.440
 Abraham

00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:10.259
 in your

00:19:10.259 --> 00:19:11.060
 offspring

00:19:11.060 --> 00:19:12.380
 singular

00:19:12.380 --> 00:19:13.160
 particular

00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:13.799
 offspring

00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:14.220
 by the

00:19:14.220 --> 00:19:14.480
 way

00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:15.200
 shall

00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:15.799
 all

00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:16.000
 the

00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:16.440
 nations

00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:16.859
 of the

00:19:16.859 --> 00:19:17.259
 earth

00:19:17.259 --> 00:19:18.579
 be

00:19:18.579 --> 00:19:19.119
 blessed

00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:21.279
 and

00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:21.599
 Isaiah

00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:22.960
 prophesies

00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:23.339
 of this

00:19:23.339 --> 00:19:24.079
 promised

00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:24.740
 Messiah

00:19:24.740 --> 00:19:25.500
 it's

00:19:25.500 --> 00:19:26.099
 too light

00:19:26.099 --> 00:19:26.440
 a thing

00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:26.639
 it's

00:19:26.639 --> 00:19:27.480
 too small

00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:27.879
 it's not

00:19:27.879 --> 00:19:28.339
 enough

00:19:28.339 --> 00:19:29.059
 that you

00:19:29.059 --> 00:19:29.379
 should be

00:19:29.379 --> 00:19:29.980
 my servant

00:19:29.980 --> 00:19:30.480
 to raise

00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:30.839
 up the

00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:31.200
 tribes

00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:31.720
 of Jacob

00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:32.180
 and bring

00:19:32.180 --> 00:19:32.639
 back the

00:19:32.639 --> 00:19:33.039
 preserved

00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:33.579
 of Israel

00:19:33.579 --> 00:19:34.279
 millions

00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:34.940
 of them

00:19:34.940 --> 00:19:35.379
 though they

00:19:35.379 --> 00:19:35.619
 be

00:19:35.619 --> 00:19:35.960
 that's

00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:36.180
 not

00:19:36.180 --> 00:19:36.500
 enough

00:19:36.500 --> 00:19:36.879
 I've

00:19:36.879 --> 00:19:37.099
 got a

00:19:37.099 --> 00:19:37.279
 bigger

00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:37.720
 vision

00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:38.039
 God

00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:38.419
 says

00:19:38.419 --> 00:19:38.960
 I

00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:39.159
 will

00:19:39.159 --> 00:19:39.480
 make

00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:39.960
 you

00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:40.899
 as a

00:19:40.899 --> 00:19:41.319
 light

00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:42.259
 for the

00:19:42.259 --> 00:19:42.899
 nations

00:19:42.900 --> 00:19:43.860
 that

00:19:43.860 --> 00:19:44.080
 my

00:19:44.080 --> 00:19:44.500
 salvation

00:19:44.500 --> 00:19:44.720
 may

00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:44.960
 reach

00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:45.259
 where

00:19:45.259 --> 00:19:46.480
 to

00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:46.680
 the

00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:47.160
 end

00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:47.820
 of

00:19:47.820 --> 00:19:47.980
 the

00:19:47.980 --> 00:19:48.180
 earth

00:19:48.180 --> 00:19:48.560
 that's

00:19:48.560 --> 00:19:48.900
 that's

00:19:48.900 --> 00:19:49.019
 the

 his

00:22:18.779 --> 00:22:19.200
 name

00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:22.000

00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:26.680
 out

00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:29.480
 it's

00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:29.640
 a little

00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:29.799
 bit

00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:30.539
 disconcerting

00:22:30.539 --> 00:22:31.559
 actually

00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:32.240
 verse 48

00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:32.779

00:22:34.500 --> 00:22:34.740
 witnesses

00:22:34.740 --> 00:22:36.460

 things

00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:40.039
 I

00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:40.200
 just

00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:40.500
 imagine

00:22:40.500 --> 00:22:40.660
 the

00:22:40.660 --> 00:22:41.079
 disciples

 so

00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:42.519
 excited

00:22:55.579 --> 00:22:56.339
 conferences

00:22:56.339 --> 00:22:56.960

 now

00:23:39.779 --> 00:23:42.979
 but

00:23:42.979 --> 00:23:43.139
 what

00:23:43.139 --> 00:23:43.679
 happens

00:23:43.679 --> 00:23:46.199
 well

00:23:46.199 --> 00:23:46.319
 if

00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:46.579
 Jesus

00:23:46.579 --> 00:23:46.919
 being

00:23:46.919 --> 00:23:47.199
 made

00:23:47.199 --> 00:23:47.459
 known

00:23:47.459 --> 00:23:47.619
 to

00:23:47.619 --> 00:23:47.759
 the

00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:48.139
 nations

00:23:48.139 --> 00:23:48.539
 was

00:23:48.539 --> 00:23:48.739
 the

00:23:48.739 --> 00:23:49.019
 goal

00:23:49.019 --> 00:23:49.199
 I

00:23:49.199 --> 00:23:50.559
 I'd

00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:50.699
 say

00:23:50.699 --> 00:23:50.939
 God

00:23:50.939 --> 00:23:51.099
 knew

00:23:51.099 --> 00:23:51.219
 what

00:23:51.219 --> 00:23:51.279
 he

00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:51.419
 was

00:23:51.419 --> 00:23:51.779
 doing

00:23:51.779 --> 00:23:53.359
 2,000

00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:53.679
 years

00:23:53.679 --> 00:23:53.939
 from

00:23:53.939 --> 00:23:54.179
 this

00:23:54.179 --> 00:23:54.959
 conversation

00:23:54.959 --> 00:23:56.079
 in a

00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:56.199
 little

00:23:56.199 --> 00:23:56.500
 room

00:23:56.500 --> 00:23:56.679
 in

00:23:56.679 --> 00:23:57.179
 Jerusalem

00:23:57.179 --> 00:23:58.379
 billions

00:23:58.379 --> 00:23:59.059
 of

00:23:59.059 --> 00:23:59.459
 people

00:23:59.459 --> 00:24:00.319
 have

00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:00.899
 repented

00:24:00.899 --> 00:24:01.599
 and

00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:01.939
 received

00:24:01.940 --> 00:24:02.340
 forgiveness

00:24:02.340 --> 00:24:02.640
 of

00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:02.940
 sins

00:24:02.940 --> 00:24:03.180
 from

00:24:03.180 --> 00:24:03.900
 nearly

00:24:03.900 --> 00:24:04.480
 every

00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:04.980
 people

00:24:04.980 --> 00:24:05.539
 tribe

00:24:05.539 --> 00:24:06.059
 language

00:24:06.059 --> 00:24:06.500
 and

00:24:06.500 --> 00:24:06.980
 nation

00:24:06.980 --> 00:24:07.580
 nearly

00:24:07.580 --> 00:24:07.940
 the

00:24:07.940 --> 00:24:08.160
 mission

00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:08.340
 is

00:24:08.340 --> 00:24:08.559
 still

00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:09.019
 underway

00:24:09.019 --> 00:24:11.759
 but

00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:11.980
 listen

00:24:11.980 --> 00:24:12.400
 if

00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:12.539
 you're

00:24:12.539 --> 00:24:12.759
 like

00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:13.019
 me

00:24:13.019 --> 00:24:13.160
 and

00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:13.360
 you

00:24:13.360 --> 00:24:14.360
 you

00:24:14.360 --> 00:24:14.519
 hear

00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:14.660
 that

00:24:14.660 --> 00:24:14.740
 and

00:24:14.740 --> 00:24:14.840
 you

00:24:14.840 --> 00:24:15.059
 think

00:24:15.059 --> 00:24:15.380
 most

00:24:15.380 --> 00:24:15.860
 days

00:24:15.860 --> 00:24:16.500
 that

00:24:16.500 --> 00:24:16.740
 God

00:24:16.740 --> 00:24:16.880
 would

00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:17.019
 be

00:24:17.019 --> 00:24:17.840
 crazy

00:24:17.840 --> 00:24:18.700
 to

00:24:18.700 --> 00:24:19.019
 make

00:24:19.019 --> 00:24:19.740
 you

00:24:19.740 --> 00:24:20.740
 a

00:24:20.740 --> 00:24:21.240
 witness

00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:23.440
 pick

00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:23.820
 somebody

00:24:23.820 --> 00:24:24.200
 else

00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:26.559
 all I

00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:26.920
 can say

00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:27.200
 is it

00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:27.620
 looks like

00:24:27.620 --> 00:24:27.940
 he knows

00:24:27.940 --> 00:24:28.259
 what he's

00:24:28.259 --> 00:24:28.620
 doing

00:24:28.619 --> 00:24:31.199
 see

00:24:31.199 --> 00:24:31.500
 Jesus

00:24:31.500 --> 00:24:31.859
 never

00:24:31.859 --> 00:24:32.259
 calls

00:24:32.259 --> 00:24:32.419
 us

00:24:32.419 --> 00:24:32.579
 to

00:24:32.579 --> 00:24:33.039
 something

00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:34.479
 without

00:24:34.479 --> 00:24:35.079
 empowering

00:24:35.079 --> 00:24:35.439
 us

00:24:35.439 --> 00:24:35.679
 for

00:24:35.679 --> 00:24:36.000
 it

00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:36.579
 does

00:24:36.579 --> 00:24:36.739
 he

00:24:36.739 --> 00:24:37.639
 verse

00:24:37.639 --> 00:24:38.179
 49

00:24:38.179 --> 00:24:39.459
 behold

00:24:39.459 --> 00:24:39.659
 I'm

00:24:39.659 --> 00:24:39.939
 sending

00:24:39.939 --> 00:24:40.139
 the

00:24:40.139 --> 00:24:40.559
 promise

00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:40.759
 of

00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:40.919
 my

00:24:40.919 --> 00:24:41.419
 father

00:24:41.419 --> 00:24:42.419
 upon

00:24:42.419 --> 00:24:42.759
 you

00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:44.039
 but

00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:44.259
 stay

00:24:44.259 --> 00:24:44.379
 in

00:24:44.379 --> 00:24:44.539
 the

00:24:44.539 --> 00:24:44.799
 city

00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:45.099
 until

00:24:45.099 --> 00:24:45.259
 you

00:24:45.259 --> 00:24:45.419
 are

00:24:45.419 --> 00:24:45.879
 clothed

00:24:45.879 --> 00:24:46.059
 with

00:24:46.059 --> 00:24:46.459
 power

00:24:46.459 --> 00:24:47.219
 from

00:24:47.219 --> 00:24:47.419
 on

00:24:47.419 --> 00:24:47.719
 high

00:24:47.719 --> 00:24:48.339
 Jesus

00:24:48.339 --> 00:24:48.799
 says

00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:49.339
 I've

00:24:49.339 --> 00:24:49.459
 got

00:24:49.459 --> 00:24:49.699
 a

00:24:49.699 --> 00:24:50.019
 gift

00:24:50.019 --> 00:24:50.359
 for

00:24:50.359 --> 00:24:50.719
 you

00:24:50.719 --> 00:24:51.979
 because

00:24:51.979 --> 00:24:52.759
 sometimes

00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:53.479
 witnesses

00:24:53.479 --> 00:24:54.039
 can be

00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:54.519
 intimidated

00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:55.739
 can't

00:24:55.739 --> 00:24:55.919
 they

00:24:55.919 --> 00:24:56.359
 I mean

00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:56.519
 they've

00:24:56.519 --> 00:24:56.679
 got

00:24:56.679 --> 00:24:57.019
 someone

00:24:57.019 --> 00:24:57.219
 to

00:24:57.219 --> 00:24:57.539
 talk

00:24:57.539 --> 00:24:57.899
 about

00:24:57.900 --> 00:24:58.300
 they've

00:24:58.300 --> 00:24:58.420
 got

00:24:58.420 --> 00:24:58.620
 a

00:24:58.620 --> 00:24:59.019
 story

00:24:59.019 --> 00:24:59.540
 to

00:24:59.540 --> 00:24:59.900
 share

00:24:59.900 --> 00:25:00.140
 but

00:25:00.140 --> 00:25:01.180
 sometimes

00:25:01.180 --> 00:25:01.680
 they just

00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:01.940
 can't

00:25:01.940 --> 00:25:02.200
 get up

00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:02.360
 the

00:25:02.360 --> 00:25:02.560
 nerve

00:25:02.560 --> 00:25:02.759
 to

00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:02.960
 do

00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:03.080
 it

00:25:03.080 --> 00:25:03.360
 because

00:25:03.360 --> 00:25:03.620
 there's

00:25:03.620 --> 00:25:04.240
 people

00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:04.440
 who

00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:04.660
 won't

00:25:04.660 --> 00:25:05.100
 like

00:25:05.100 --> 00:25:05.720
 hearing

00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:06.259
 their

00:25:06.259 --> 00:25:06.940
 testimony

00:25:06.940 --> 00:25:08.960
 yeah

00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:10.759
 there

00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:11.480
 are a lot

00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:11.740
 of other

00:25:11.740 --> 00:25:12.160
 things

00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:12.440
 that I

00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:12.780
 could fill

00:25:12.780 --> 00:25:13.040
 my

00:25:13.040 --> 00:25:13.460
 schedule

00:25:13.460 --> 00:25:13.980
 with

00:25:13.980 --> 00:25:15.060
 besides

00:25:15.060 --> 00:25:16.660
 that

00:25:16.660 --> 00:25:19.740
 so

00:25:19.740 --> 00:25:20.080
 Jesus

00:25:20.080 --> 00:25:20.800
 empowers

00:25:20.800 --> 00:25:21.400
 witnesses

00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:22.300
 with the

00:25:22.300 --> 00:25:22.740
 gift

00:25:22.740 --> 00:25:24.100
 of his

00:25:24.100 --> 00:25:24.540
 spirit

00:25:24.540 --> 00:25:25.540
 there's

00:25:25.540 --> 00:25:25.960
 no other

00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:26.480
 way for

00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:26.680
 this

00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:27.000
 mission

00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:27.340
 to be

00:25:27.339 --> 00:25:27.980
 accomplished

00:25:27.980 --> 00:25:28.259
 is

00:25:28.259 --> 00:25:28.539
 there

00:25:28.539 --> 00:25:29.199
 I

00:25:29.199 --> 00:25:29.279
 mean

00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:29.439
 when

00:25:29.439 --> 00:25:29.699
 Jesus

00:25:29.699 --> 00:25:30.019
 said

00:25:30.019 --> 00:25:30.119
 he

00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:30.299
 was

00:25:30.299 --> 00:25:30.740
 leaving

00:25:30.740 --> 00:25:31.179
 they

00:25:31.179 --> 00:25:31.439
 knew

00:25:31.439 --> 00:25:31.980
 immediately

00:25:31.980 --> 00:25:32.279
 they

00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:32.579
 couldn't

00:25:32.579 --> 00:25:32.879
 do it

00:25:32.879 --> 00:25:33.199
 alone

00:25:33.199 --> 00:25:33.379
 they

00:25:33.379 --> 00:25:33.639
 weren't

00:25:33.639 --> 00:25:34.339
 wrong

00:25:34.339 --> 00:25:35.480
 Jesus

00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:35.799
 says

00:25:35.799 --> 00:25:36.119
 yeah

00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:36.339
 you're

00:25:36.339 --> 00:25:36.659
 right

00:25:36.659 --> 00:25:37.339
 don't

00:25:37.339 --> 00:25:37.559
 go

00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:37.959
 anywhere

00:25:37.959 --> 00:25:38.559
 alone

00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:39.139
 it's

00:25:39.139 --> 00:25:39.379
 not

00:25:39.379 --> 00:25:39.959
 safe

00:25:39.959 --> 00:25:41.339
 you're

00:25:41.339 --> 00:25:41.559
 not

00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:42.039
 strong

00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:42.559
 enough

00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:43.980
 you're

00:25:43.980 --> 00:25:44.220
 not

00:25:44.220 --> 00:25:44.740
 faithful

00:25:44.740 --> 00:25:45.139
 enough

00:25:45.139 --> 00:25:45.659
 witnesses

00:25:45.659 --> 00:25:46.579
 don't

00:25:46.579 --> 00:25:47.079
 leave

00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:47.379
 the

00:25:47.379 --> 00:25:47.699
 city

00:25:47.699 --> 00:25:48.839
 you

00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:49.039
 can't

00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:49.159
 be

00:25:49.159 --> 00:25:49.459
 trusted

00:25:49.459 --> 00:25:49.659
 on

00:25:49.659 --> 00:25:49.799
 your

00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:50.119
 own

00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:53.799
 wait

00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:55.339
 for

00:25:55.339 --> 00:25:55.519
 the

00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:56.000
 spirit

00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:58.379
 listen

00:25:58.379 --> 00:25:58.779
 this is

00:25:58.779 --> 00:25:59.000
 really

00:25:59.000 --> 00:25:59.539
 important

00:25:59.539 --> 00:26:00.079
 witnesses

00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:00.859
 we

00:26:00.859 --> 00:26:01.519
 must

00:26:01.519 --> 00:26:02.759
 rely

00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:03.680
 on

00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:03.899
 his

00:26:03.899 --> 00:26:04.279
 power

00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:04.599
 there's

00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:04.980
 there's

00:26:04.980 --> 00:26:05.279
 no other

00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:05.659
 way

00:26:05.659 --> 00:26:06.599
 to do

00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:07.099
 this

00:26:07.099 --> 00:26:07.759
 the

00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:08.200
 disciples

00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:08.779
 experience

00:26:08.779 --> 00:26:09.399
 it at

00:26:09.399 --> 00:26:10.059
 Pentecost

00:26:10.059 --> 00:26:10.399
 when the

00:26:10.399 --> 00:26:11.059
 Holy Spirit

00:26:11.059 --> 00:26:12.180
 comes in

00:26:12.180 --> 00:26:12.559
 power

00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:13.359
 and if

00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:13.819
 you know

00:26:13.819 --> 00:26:14.159
 Jesus

00:26:14.159 --> 00:26:14.619
 you have

00:26:14.619 --> 00:26:15.000
 a new

00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:15.519
 identity

00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:16.099
 as a

00:26:16.099 --> 00:26:16.419
 witness

00:26:16.419 --> 00:26:16.839
 yes

00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:17.879
 but also

00:26:17.879 --> 00:26:18.379
 a new

00:26:18.379 --> 00:26:19.180
 empowerment

00:26:19.180 --> 00:26:20.680
 for your

00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:21.160
 mission

00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:21.779
 as a

00:26:21.779 --> 00:26:22.200
 witness

00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:23.080
 see

00:26:23.080 --> 00:26:23.900
 it's

00:26:23.900 --> 00:26:24.200
 actually

00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:24.560
 even a

00:26:24.560 --> 00:26:24.759
 little bit

00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:24.940
 more

00:26:24.940 --> 00:26:25.340
 exciting

00:26:25.340 --> 00:26:25.700
 for you

00:26:25.700 --> 00:26:25.840
 than

00:26:25.840 --> 00:26:26.120
 for the

00:26:26.120 --> 00:26:26.539
 disciples

00:26:26.539 --> 00:26:27.120
 Jesus

00:26:27.120 --> 00:26:27.500
 is not

00:26:27.500 --> 00:26:27.920
 telling you

00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:28.340
 this morning

00:26:28.340 --> 00:26:28.640
 to go

00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:28.940
 somewhere

00:26:28.940 --> 00:26:29.340
 and wait

00:26:29.340 --> 00:26:31.519
 that was

00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:31.980
 for them

00:26:31.980 --> 00:26:33.060
 they had

00:26:33.060 --> 00:26:33.360
 to wait

00:26:33.360 --> 00:26:33.840
 until Jesus

00:26:33.840 --> 00:26:34.220
 left

00:26:34.220 --> 00:26:34.620
 and sent

00:26:34.620 --> 00:26:35.039
 the spirit

00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:35.600
 guess what

00:26:35.600 --> 00:26:36.100
 already

00:26:36.100 --> 00:26:36.519
 happened

00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:38.340
 that

00:26:38.340 --> 00:26:38.740
 part's

00:26:38.740 --> 00:26:39.039
 over

00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:39.680
 so

00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:40.880
 you have

00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:41.400
 if you

00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:41.600
 know

00:26:41.600 --> 00:26:42.019
 Jesus

00:26:42.019 --> 00:26:42.920
 his spirit

00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:43.460
 living

00:26:43.460 --> 00:26:44.340
 and active

00:26:44.340 --> 00:26:45.320
 in you

00:26:45.320 --> 00:26:46.060
 already

00:26:46.060 --> 00:26:47.380
 and in

00:26:47.380 --> 00:26:47.799
 others

00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:48.560
 and in

00:26:48.560 --> 00:26:48.759
 this

00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:49.160
 world

00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:49.540
 he's

00:26:49.540 --> 00:26:50.259
 at work

00:26:50.259 --> 00:26:51.180
 so yes

00:26:51.180 --> 00:26:51.600
 wait

00:26:51.600 --> 00:26:52.279
 independence

00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:53.279
 upon him

00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:53.820
 absolutely

00:26:53.820 --> 00:26:54.640
 but you

00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:55.100
 don't have

00:26:55.100 --> 00:26:55.519
 to wait

00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:55.720
 for

00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:56.400
 Pentecost

00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:58.100
 you're

00:26:58.100 --> 00:26:58.779
 2000 years

00:26:58.779 --> 00:26:59.480
 beyond that

00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:00.480
 your body

00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:01.259
 is a temple

00:27:01.259 --> 00:27:01.779
 of the Holy

00:27:01.779 --> 00:27:02.200
 Spirit

00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:02.779
 who lives

00:27:02.779 --> 00:27:03.180
 in you

00:27:03.180 --> 00:27:04.120
 your church

00:27:04.120 --> 00:27:04.620
 is a part

00:27:04.620 --> 00:27:05.160
 of the people

00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:05.640
 from every

00:27:05.640 --> 00:27:06.000
 tribe

00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:06.300
 tongue

00:27:06.300 --> 00:27:06.680
 language

00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:07.200
 and nation

00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:07.820
 who are

00:27:07.820 --> 00:27:08.300
 together

00:27:08.300 --> 00:27:09.040
 a temple

00:27:09.040 --> 00:27:09.860
 where the

00:27:09.860 --> 00:27:10.200
 spirit

00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:11.000
 lives

00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:11.840
 you have

00:27:11.840 --> 00:27:12.820
 the power

00:27:12.820 --> 00:27:13.620
 that raised

00:27:13.620 --> 00:27:14.019
 Jesus

00:27:14.019 --> 00:27:14.620
 from the

00:27:14.620 --> 00:27:14.960
 dead

00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:16.080
 in you

00:27:16.080 --> 00:27:17.180
 and among

00:27:17.180 --> 00:27:17.720
 us

00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:18.220
 to be

00:27:18.220 --> 00:27:18.740
 witnesses

00:27:18.740 --> 00:27:20.319
 that's

00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:20.440
 where

00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:20.940
 boldness

00:27:20.940 --> 00:27:21.259
 comes

00:27:21.259 --> 00:27:21.599
 from

00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:21.980
 y'all

00:27:21.980 --> 00:27:23.120
 boldness

00:27:23.120 --> 00:27:23.539
 that most

00:27:23.539 --> 00:27:23.779
 of us

00:27:23.779 --> 00:27:24.099
 are pretty

00:27:24.099 --> 00:27:24.500
 unfamiliar

00:27:24.500 --> 00:27:25.079
 with

00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:25.440
 right

00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:27.720
 boldness

00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:28.380
 especially

00:27:28.380 --> 00:27:29.059
 for weak

00:27:29.059 --> 00:27:29.559
 people

00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:29.900
 like

00:27:29.900 --> 00:27:30.480
 me

00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:32.359
 you

00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:32.759
 will be

00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:33.799
 clothed

00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:34.299
 with

00:27:34.299 --> 00:27:34.940
 power

00:27:34.940 --> 00:27:36.039
 from on

00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:36.539
 high

00:27:36.539 --> 00:27:38.120
 now that's

00:27:38.120 --> 00:27:38.599
 that's

00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:38.920
 witness

00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:39.440
 where we

00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:39.779
 can be

00:27:39.779 --> 00:27:40.099
 proud

00:27:40.099 --> 00:27:40.519
 of

00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:42.759
 I

00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:43.940
 couldn't

00:27:43.940 --> 00:27:44.200
 resist

00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:44.460
 that

00:27:44.460 --> 00:27:44.759
 joke

00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:44.879
 I

00:27:44.879 --> 00:27:45.019
 knew

00:27:45.019 --> 00:27:45.119
 it

00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:45.339
 wasn't

00:27:45.339 --> 00:27:45.539
 very

00:27:45.539 --> 00:27:45.779
 good

00:27:45.779 --> 00:27:45.980
 but

00:27:45.980 --> 00:27:47.240
 but

00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:47.420
 but

00:27:47.420 --> 00:27:47.720
 but

00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:48.000
 really

00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:48.220
 I

00:27:48.220 --> 00:27:48.400
 want

00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:48.480
 you

00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:48.839
 actually

00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:49.099
 I

00:27:49.099 --> 00:27:49.440
 say it

00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:49.639
 because I

00:27:49.639 --> 00:27:49.819
 want you

00:27:49.819 --> 00:27:50.220
 to remember

00:27:50.220 --> 00:27:50.539
 it

00:27:50.539 --> 00:27:52.180
 clothed

00:27:52.180 --> 00:27:53.680
 clothed

00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:53.900
 with

00:27:53.900 --> 00:27:54.400
 power

00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:55.680
 covered

00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:56.319
 in what

00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:56.879
 you need

00:27:56.879 --> 00:27:57.420
 to be

00:27:57.420 --> 00:27:58.559
 a witness

00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:00.480
 clothed

00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:01.160
 with power

00:28:01.160 --> 00:28:01.599
 not of

00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:02.200
 yourself

00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:05.019
 but

00:28:05.019 --> 00:28:05.660
 but words

00:28:05.660 --> 00:28:06.200
 to speak

00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:06.680
 when you

00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:07.339
 don't have

00:28:07.339 --> 00:28:07.980
 answers

00:28:07.980 --> 00:28:10.360
 think

00:28:10.360 --> 00:28:10.539
 through

00:28:10.539 --> 00:28:10.779
 church

00:28:10.779 --> 00:28:11.200
 history

00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:12.180
 confidence

00:28:12.180 --> 00:28:12.880
 to speak

00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:13.299
 the name

00:28:13.299 --> 00:28:13.799
 of Jesus

00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:14.299
 while the

00:28:14.299 --> 00:28:14.819
 flames

00:28:14.819 --> 00:28:15.400
 are starting

00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:15.880
 to rise

00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:16.240
 up at

00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:16.779
 your feet

00:28:16.779 --> 00:28:17.799
 when the

00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:18.180
 sword

00:28:18.180 --> 00:28:18.500
 is

00:28:18.500 --> 00:28:19.660
 close

00:28:19.660 --> 00:28:20.000
 to your

00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:20.400
 neck

00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:24.220
 strength

00:28:24.220 --> 00:28:24.680
 to endure

00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:25.279
 rejection

00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:26.559
 and being

00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:27.779
 left out

00:28:27.779 --> 00:28:28.380
 by those

00:28:28.380 --> 00:28:29.000
 who hate

00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:30.440
 your testimony

00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:32.039
 the power

00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:32.740
 to be a

00:28:32.740 --> 00:28:33.099
 witness

00:28:33.099 --> 00:28:33.420
 y'all

00:28:33.420 --> 00:28:34.539
 the power

00:28:34.539 --> 00:28:35.860
 is his

00:28:35.860 --> 00:28:36.779
 and he

00:28:36.779 --> 00:28:37.660
 uses weak

00:28:37.660 --> 00:28:38.400
 vessels

00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:39.700
 for his

00:28:39.700 --> 00:28:40.259
 glory

00:28:40.259 --> 00:28:42.420
 God

00:28:42.420 --> 00:28:42.960
 reminded me

00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:43.340
 of this

00:28:43.340 --> 00:28:44.080
 reality

00:28:44.080 --> 00:28:45.200
 several times

00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:45.500
 on my

00:28:45.500 --> 00:28:45.820
 recent

00:28:45.820 --> 00:28:46.320
 trip

00:28:46.320 --> 00:28:46.900
 to India

00:28:46.900 --> 00:28:48.860
 one of

00:28:48.860 --> 00:28:49.259
 those in

00:28:49.259 --> 00:28:49.880
 particular

00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:50.480
 was as we

00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:51.040
 were preparing

00:28:51.040 --> 00:28:52.560
 to come

00:28:52.560 --> 00:28:52.960
 back

00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:53.420
 and the

00:28:53.420 --> 00:28:54.019
 first leg

00:28:54.019 --> 00:28:54.500
 of my

00:28:54.500 --> 00:28:55.120
 journey

00:28:55.120 --> 00:28:55.580
 home

00:28:55.580 --> 00:28:56.080
 was about

00:28:56.080 --> 00:28:56.540
 to start

00:28:56.540 --> 00:28:56.860
 so I

00:28:56.860 --> 00:28:57.180
 prayed

00:28:57.180 --> 00:28:57.600
 the night

00:28:57.600 --> 00:28:58.120
 before

00:28:58.120 --> 00:28:59.340
 for gospel

00:28:59.340 --> 00:28:59.940
 opportunities

00:28:59.940 --> 00:29:00.240
 on the

00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:00.720
 way home

00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:01.160
 and I'm

00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:01.660
 picturing

00:29:01.660 --> 00:29:02.500
 these long

00:29:02.500 --> 00:29:03.380
 plane rides

00:29:03.380 --> 00:29:03.980
 where somebody

00:29:03.980 --> 00:29:04.580
 has to listen

00:29:04.580 --> 00:29:04.920
 to me

00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:05.320
 talking

00:29:05.319 --> 00:29:07.480
 but the

00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:07.899
 first leg

00:29:07.899 --> 00:29:08.339
 was actually

00:29:08.339 --> 00:29:08.639
 a three

00:29:08.639 --> 00:29:09.179
 hour car

00:29:09.179 --> 00:29:09.539
 ride

00:29:09.539 --> 00:29:10.939
 and at the

00:29:10.939 --> 00:29:11.379
 last minute

00:29:11.379 --> 00:29:11.919
 we stopped

00:29:11.919 --> 00:29:12.480
 to pick up

00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:12.819
 a young

00:29:12.819 --> 00:29:13.240
 man in

00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:13.839
 his late

00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:14.839
 20s

00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:16.359
 we met

00:29:16.359 --> 00:29:17.079
 seemed like

00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:17.379
 a nice

00:29:17.379 --> 00:29:17.619
 guy

00:29:17.619 --> 00:29:17.919
 we get

00:29:17.919 --> 00:29:18.240
 back in

00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:18.519
 the car

00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:18.960
 the driver

00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:19.460
 turns to

00:29:19.460 --> 00:29:19.679
 me and

00:29:19.679 --> 00:29:19.859
 says

00:29:19.859 --> 00:29:20.419
 oh hey

00:29:20.419 --> 00:29:20.799
 he's not

00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:21.200
 a Christian

00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:21.500
 why don't

00:29:21.500 --> 00:29:21.779
 you share

00:29:21.779 --> 00:29:22.179
 the gospel

00:29:22.179 --> 00:29:22.659
 with him

00:29:22.659 --> 00:29:23.980
 oh okay

00:29:23.980 --> 00:29:25.700
 so having

00:29:25.700 --> 00:29:26.299
 just met

00:29:26.299 --> 00:29:26.700
 him and

00:29:26.700 --> 00:29:27.099
 being an

00:29:27.099 --> 00:29:27.679
 expert in

00:29:27.679 --> 00:29:28.299
 evangelism

00:29:28.299 --> 00:29:29.000
 I turned

00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:29.399
 and said

00:29:29.399 --> 00:29:29.980
 hey

00:29:29.980 --> 00:29:30.599
 I'm in

00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:31.000
 India to

00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:31.359
 share with

00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:31.879
 people about

00:29:31.879 --> 00:29:32.159
 Jesus

00:29:32.159 --> 00:29:32.539
 do you know

00:29:32.539 --> 00:29:32.920
 who Jesus

00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:33.420
 is

00:29:33.420 --> 00:29:34.500
 y'all

00:29:34.500 --> 00:29:34.899
 that's not

00:29:34.899 --> 00:29:35.220
 in any

00:29:35.220 --> 00:29:35.559
 of the

00:29:35.559 --> 00:29:36.319
 evangelism

00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:37.019
 books to

00:29:37.019 --> 00:29:37.599
 start that

00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:37.960
 way

00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:39.539
 and he

00:29:39.539 --> 00:29:40.220
 says back

00:29:40.220 --> 00:29:40.680
 through my

00:29:40.680 --> 00:29:41.259
 translator

00:29:41.259 --> 00:29:41.740
 this

00:29:41.740 --> 00:29:43.680
 he says

00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:44.200
 he knows

00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:44.879
 Jesus is

00:29:44.879 --> 00:29:45.460
 a God

00:29:45.460 --> 00:29:46.500
 and that

00:29:46.500 --> 00:29:47.220
 Jesus died

00:29:47.220 --> 00:29:48.099
 on a cross

00:29:48.099 --> 00:29:49.019
 but he

00:29:49.019 --> 00:29:49.440
 doesn't know

00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:50.079
 why Jesus

00:29:50.079 --> 00:29:50.680
 died on a

00:29:50.680 --> 00:29:50.879
 cross

00:29:50.879 --> 00:29:51.180
 could you

00:29:51.180 --> 00:29:51.740
 explain that

00:29:51.740 --> 00:29:52.119
 to him

00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:54.819
 let me

00:29:54.819 --> 00:29:55.099
 think

00:29:55.099 --> 00:29:55.700
 I mean

00:29:55.700 --> 00:29:56.399
 I suppose

00:29:56.399 --> 00:29:57.240
 if I had

00:29:57.240 --> 00:29:57.639
 to start

00:29:57.639 --> 00:29:58.119
 somewhere

00:29:58.119 --> 00:29:59.059
 I could

00:29:59.059 --> 00:29:59.559
 possibly

00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:00.059
 start by

00:30:00.059 --> 00:30:00.579
 talking about

00:30:00.579 --> 00:30:01.079
 why Jesus

00:30:01.079 --> 00:30:01.559
 died on the

00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:01.799
 cross

00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:02.079
 y'all

00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:03.019
 my six

00:30:03.019 --> 00:30:03.460
 year old

00:30:03.460 --> 00:30:03.759
 could have

00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:04.199
 finished the

00:30:04.199 --> 00:30:04.740
 story from

00:30:04.740 --> 00:30:05.039
 there

00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:05.659
 right

00:30:05.659 --> 00:30:06.199
 like

00:30:06.199 --> 00:30:07.359
 she could

00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:07.480
 have

00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:07.759
 handled

00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:08.159
 answering

00:30:08.159 --> 00:30:08.359
 that

00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:08.839
 question

00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:10.119
 and here

00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:10.419
 God

00:30:10.419 --> 00:30:11.099
 God is

00:30:11.099 --> 00:30:11.399
 doing

00:30:11.399 --> 00:30:11.919
 something

00:30:11.919 --> 00:30:12.699
 unmistakable

00:30:12.699 --> 00:30:13.099
 in that

00:30:13.099 --> 00:30:13.539
 moment I

00:30:13.539 --> 00:30:14.059
 felt so

00:30:14.059 --> 00:30:14.639
 clearly

00:30:14.639 --> 00:30:15.639
 the presence

00:30:15.639 --> 00:30:15.980
 of the

00:30:15.980 --> 00:30:16.579
 Holy Spirit

00:30:16.579 --> 00:30:17.279
 answering my

00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:17.779
 prayers

00:30:17.779 --> 00:30:19.879
 he was

00:30:19.879 --> 00:30:20.460
 working in

00:30:20.460 --> 00:30:21.000
 this man's

00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:21.220
 heart

00:30:21.220 --> 00:30:21.799
 and then he

00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:22.139
 was at the

00:30:22.139 --> 00:30:22.559
 same time

00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:23.059
 making it

00:30:23.059 --> 00:30:23.859
 painfully

00:30:23.859 --> 00:30:25.179
 but gloriously

00:30:25.179 --> 00:30:25.759
 obvious

00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:26.639
 that his

00:30:26.639 --> 00:30:27.079
 confidence

00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:27.939
 was not

00:30:27.939 --> 00:30:28.399
 in my

00:30:28.399 --> 00:30:29.279
 evangelistic

00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:29.779
 abilities

00:30:29.779 --> 00:30:30.859
 let me

00:30:30.859 --> 00:30:31.259
 take care

00:30:31.259 --> 00:30:31.480
 of this

00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:31.679
 one

00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:32.560
 okay

00:30:32.560 --> 00:30:34.480
 but that

00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:34.820
 he was

00:30:34.820 --> 00:30:35.420
 at work

00:30:35.420 --> 00:30:38.259
 I was

00:30:38.259 --> 00:30:38.799
 weak in

00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:39.200
 witnessing

00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:40.680
 I know

00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:41.060
 that

00:30:41.060 --> 00:30:42.120
 but he's

00:30:42.120 --> 00:30:42.660
 strong

00:30:42.660 --> 00:30:43.740
 and that

00:30:43.740 --> 00:30:44.019
 was all

00:30:44.019 --> 00:30:44.480
 that mattered

00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:45.299
 he had

00:30:45.299 --> 00:30:45.640
 everything

00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:46.080
 teed up

00:30:46.080 --> 00:30:46.400
 he was

00:30:46.400 --> 00:30:46.900
 the powerful

00:30:46.900 --> 00:30:47.160
 one

00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:47.799
 I just

00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:48.100
 said

00:30:48.100 --> 00:30:49.060
 Bunty

00:30:49.060 --> 00:30:49.680
 you have

00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:50.180
 a son

00:30:50.180 --> 00:30:51.160
 do you

00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:51.560
 love him

00:30:51.560 --> 00:30:53.320
 would you

00:30:53.320 --> 00:30:53.740
 do anything

00:30:53.740 --> 00:30:54.180
 to get him

00:30:54.180 --> 00:30:54.720
 back if you

00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:55.240
 lost him

00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:56.960
 that's what

00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:57.340
 God did

00:30:57.340 --> 00:30:58.080
 on the cross

00:30:58.079 --> 00:30:59.359
 he loves

00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:00.039
 many of

00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:00.220
 us

00:31:00.220 --> 00:31:01.039
 many sons

00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:01.460
 he has

00:31:01.460 --> 00:31:01.699
 that he

00:31:01.699 --> 00:31:01.899
 loves

00:31:01.899 --> 00:31:02.720
 and they

00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:03.099
 needed to be

00:31:03.099 --> 00:31:03.699
 rescued and

00:31:03.699 --> 00:31:04.240
 brought back

00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:04.819
 to him

00:31:04.819 --> 00:31:05.359
 so Jesus

00:31:05.359 --> 00:31:05.919
 had to die

00:31:05.919 --> 00:31:06.559
 on the cross

00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:07.139
 for us

00:31:07.139 --> 00:31:08.059
 and I got to

00:31:08.059 --> 00:31:08.460
 share my

00:31:08.460 --> 00:31:08.819
 story

00:31:08.819 --> 00:31:09.960
 my experience

00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:11.319
 with Jesus

00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:12.079
 I got to

00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:12.539
 share from the

00:31:12.539 --> 00:31:13.699
 Bible's story

00:31:13.699 --> 00:31:15.679
 because he had

00:31:15.679 --> 00:31:16.220
 three hours

00:31:16.220 --> 00:31:16.919
 so even I could

00:31:16.919 --> 00:31:17.299
 get through it

00:31:17.299 --> 00:31:18.000
 in three hours

00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:20.240
 he even invited

00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:20.679
 me to share

00:31:20.679 --> 00:31:21.339
 with his family

00:31:21.339 --> 00:31:21.899
 when we got

00:31:21.899 --> 00:31:22.699
 to his home

00:31:22.699 --> 00:31:23.460
 at the end

00:31:23.460 --> 00:31:23.919
 of the ride

00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:26.440
 I tell you

00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:26.880
 that so that

00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:27.320
 you know

00:31:27.320 --> 00:31:28.039
 that the

00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:28.680
 Holy Spirit

00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:29.720
 is working

00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:30.660
 in India

00:31:30.660 --> 00:31:32.620
 and the

00:31:32.620 --> 00:31:33.220
 Holy Spirit

00:31:33.220 --> 00:31:34.440
 is working

00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:35.120
 in Hungary

00:31:35.120 --> 00:31:36.300
 in these places

00:31:36.300 --> 00:31:37.160
 to see repentance

00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:38.140
 and forgiveness

00:31:38.140 --> 00:31:38.720
 of sins

00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:39.440
 proclaimed to

00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:40.080
 all the nations

00:31:40.080 --> 00:31:41.380
 he's working

00:31:41.380 --> 00:31:42.000
 there to make

00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:42.800
 the name of

00:31:42.800 --> 00:31:43.580
 Jesus known

00:31:43.580 --> 00:31:44.240
 and if he's

00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:44.820
 working there

00:31:44.820 --> 00:31:45.660
 you can know

00:31:45.660 --> 00:31:46.360
 confidently

00:31:46.360 --> 00:31:47.259
 he's working

00:31:47.259 --> 00:31:48.060
 in Huntsville

00:31:48.060 --> 00:31:50.860
 Jesus is equally

00:31:50.860 --> 00:31:52.060
 alive here

00:31:52.060 --> 00:31:53.620
 equally committed

00:31:53.619 --> 00:31:54.979
 here to many

00:31:54.979 --> 00:31:55.719
 people hearing

00:31:55.719 --> 00:31:56.459
 the good news

00:31:56.459 --> 00:31:57.359
 and finding

00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:59.099
 life in him

00:31:59.099 --> 00:32:00.439
 who needs to

00:32:00.439 --> 00:32:01.119
 hear from you

00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:03.639
 where has God

00:32:03.639 --> 00:32:04.500
 called you to

00:32:04.500 --> 00:32:05.779
 go as a

00:32:05.779 --> 00:32:07.359
 witness to the

00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:07.759
 nations

00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:10.000
 who's coming

00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:10.839
 to know Jesus

00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:11.759
 would delight

00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:12.559
 your heart

00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:15.319
 the question

00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:15.959
 is not if

00:32:15.959 --> 00:32:16.519
 you're strong

00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:16.939
 enough

00:32:16.939 --> 00:32:19.319
 but rather

00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:20.139
 if you believe

00:32:20.139 --> 00:32:20.859
 he is

00:32:20.859 --> 00:32:23.239
 you are here

00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:24.140
 to be a

00:32:24.140 --> 00:32:24.420
 witness

00:32:24.420 --> 00:32:25.559
 to tell

00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:26.480
 the story

00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:27.079
 of Jesus

00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:27.599
 to tell

00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:28.759
 your story

00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:29.799
 with Jesus

00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:30.599
 and the only

00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:31.720
 power you need

00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:33.180
 is his

00:32:33.180 --> 00:32:35.559
 he is with you

00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:36.819
 now why do we

00:32:36.819 --> 00:32:37.660
 fear failure

00:32:37.660 --> 00:32:40.380
 when he ensures

00:32:40.380 --> 00:32:41.620
 our success

00:32:41.620 --> 00:32:43.079
 in his mission

00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:44.059
 he hears your

00:32:44.059 --> 00:32:44.640
 prayers

00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:46.400
 he knows your

00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:46.940
 weakness

00:32:46.940 --> 00:32:48.840
 he has sent

00:32:48.840 --> 00:32:49.539
 his holy

00:32:49.539 --> 00:32:50.180
 spirit

00:32:50.180 --> 00:32:51.500
 to give you

00:32:51.500 --> 00:32:52.019
 power

00:32:52.019 --> 00:32:52.900
 for making

00:32:52.900 --> 00:32:53.519
 him known

00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:55.539
 that's a big

00:32:55.539 --> 00:32:56.080
 part of what's

00:32:56.080 --> 00:32:56.640
 going on at

00:32:56.640 --> 00:32:57.160
 this table

00:32:57.160 --> 00:32:57.759
 right

00:32:57.759 --> 00:32:58.820
 Jesus

00:32:58.820 --> 00:33:00.340
 comes here

00:33:00.340 --> 00:33:01.080
 to give us

00:33:01.080 --> 00:33:01.680
 a special

00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:02.200
 reminder

00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:03.180
 of his

00:33:03.180 --> 00:33:03.860
 presence

00:33:03.860 --> 00:33:04.840
 with us

00:33:04.840 --> 00:33:05.900
 he meets

00:33:05.900 --> 00:33:06.420
 with us

00:33:06.420 --> 00:33:07.279
 and feeds

00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:08.259
 us by his

00:33:08.259 --> 00:33:08.740
 spirit

00:33:08.740 --> 00:33:09.740
 to strengthen

00:33:09.740 --> 00:33:10.580
 our faith

00:33:10.580 --> 00:33:11.299
 for making

00:33:11.299 --> 00:33:12.559
 him known

00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:13.360
 for being

00:33:13.360 --> 00:33:14.360
 witnesses

00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:15.099
 he didn't

00:33:15.099 --> 00:33:15.379
 want you

00:33:15.379 --> 00:33:15.699
 to do it

00:33:15.699 --> 00:33:16.019
 alone

00:33:16.019 --> 00:33:17.939
 so he

00:33:17.939 --> 00:33:18.219
 sends you

00:33:18.219 --> 00:33:18.619
 back here

00:33:18.619 --> 00:33:18.899
 all the

00:33:18.899 --> 00:33:19.219
 time

00:33:19.219 --> 00:33:20.379
 to remember

00:33:20.379 --> 00:33:20.959
 you're not

00:33:20.959 --> 00:33:23.539
 this bread

00:33:23.539 --> 00:33:23.799
 and this

00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:24.119
 juice

00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:24.399
 are to

00:33:24.399 --> 00:33:24.919
 encourage

00:33:24.919 --> 00:33:25.539
 your faith

00:33:25.539 --> 00:33:26.599
 by reminding

00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:27.000
 you

00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:27.579
 Jesus

00:33:27.579 --> 00:33:28.079
 gave

00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:28.479
 himself

00:33:28.479 --> 00:33:29.199
 for you

00:33:29.199 --> 00:33:29.500
 and you're

00:33:29.500 --> 00:33:30.319
 never alone

00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:31.159
 in your

00:33:31.159 --> 00:33:31.439
 mission

00:33:31.439 --> 00:33:31.879
 to make

00:33:31.879 --> 00:33:32.419
 him known

00:33:32.419 --> 00:33:33.039
 to the

00:33:33.039 --> 00:33:33.439
 nations

00:33:33.439 --> 00:33:34.500
 he sat

00:33:34.500 --> 00:33:35.019
 with those

00:33:35.019 --> 00:33:35.759
 disciples

00:33:35.759 --> 00:33:36.179
 he took

00:33:36.179 --> 00:33:36.519
 bread

00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:37.039
 and broke

00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:37.279
 it

00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:38.179
 and gave

00:33:38.179 --> 00:33:38.479
 it to

00:33:38.479 --> 00:33:38.699
 him

00:33:38.699 --> 00:33:39.519
 as I

00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:40.039
 ministering

00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:40.339
 in his

00:33:40.339 --> 00:33:40.599
 name

00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:41.000
 give this

00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:41.259
 bread

00:33:41.259 --> 00:33:41.659
 to you

00:33:41.659 --> 00:33:42.039
 he said

00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:42.419
 take

00:33:42.419 --> 00:33:42.740
 eat

00:33:42.740 --> 00:33:43.399
 this is

00:33:43.399 --> 00:33:44.059
 my body

00:33:44.059 --> 00:33:44.819
 broken

00:33:44.819 --> 00:33:45.419
 for you

00:33:45.419 --> 00:33:46.299
 do this

00:33:46.299 --> 00:33:47.419
 in remembrance

00:33:47.419 --> 00:33:48.599
 of me

00:33:48.599 --> 00:33:49.399
 so you remember

00:33:49.399 --> 00:33:49.960
 I'm always

00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:50.480
 with you

00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:51.220
 and then he

00:33:51.220 --> 00:33:51.859
 took the cup

00:33:51.859 --> 00:33:52.539
 and said

00:33:52.539 --> 00:33:53.039
 this cup

00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:53.480
 is the new

00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:53.759
 covenant

00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:54.619
 in my blood

00:33:54.619 --> 00:33:55.419
 which is shed

00:33:55.419 --> 00:33:55.879
 for many

00:33:55.879 --> 00:33:56.639
 for the forgiveness

00:33:56.639 --> 00:33:57.240
 of sins

00:33:57.240 --> 00:33:58.000
 drink from it

00:33:58.000 --> 00:33:58.799
 all of you

00:33:58.799 --> 00:33:59.779
 there's forgiveness

00:33:59.779 --> 00:34:00.700
 for you

00:34:00.700 --> 00:34:01.220
 and to be

00:34:01.220 --> 00:34:02.200
 shared with others

00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:02.599
 and so

00:34:02.599 --> 00:34:03.639
 drink and remember

00:34:03.639 --> 00:34:04.000
 that

00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:04.619
 that it comes

00:34:04.619 --> 00:34:05.460
 only through me

00:34:05.460 --> 00:34:06.059
 and don't let

00:34:06.059 --> 00:34:06.519
 anyone else

00:34:06.519 --> 00:34:07.339
 miss that

00:34:07.339 --> 00:34:11.019
 if you don't

00:34:11.019 --> 00:34:11.699
 know Jesus

00:34:11.699 --> 00:34:13.440
 this may seem

00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:13.800
 a little bit

00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:14.059
 odd

00:34:14.059 --> 00:34:15.119
 and we

00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:15.340
 would

00:34:15.340 --> 00:34:15.880
 encourage

00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:16.240
 you this

00:34:16.240 --> 00:34:16.500
 morning

00:34:16.500 --> 00:34:17.400
 don't come

00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:17.800
 and take

00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:18.300
 bread and

00:34:18.300 --> 00:34:18.579
 juice

00:34:18.579 --> 00:34:19.119
 that mean

00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:19.539
 nothing

00:34:19.539 --> 00:34:20.079
 to you

00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:20.440
 the bible

00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:21.420
 warns against

00:34:21.420 --> 00:34:22.000
 us doing

00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:22.599
 that in a

00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:22.940
 careless

00:34:22.940 --> 00:34:23.780
 manner

00:34:23.780 --> 00:34:24.840
 but we're

00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:25.460
 so glad

00:34:25.460 --> 00:34:25.840
 that you're

00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:26.139
 here

00:34:26.139 --> 00:34:26.940
 and we

00:34:26.940 --> 00:34:27.460
 would invite

00:34:27.460 --> 00:34:27.860
 you if

00:34:27.860 --> 00:34:28.760
 you'd like

00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:29.280
 you can still
