00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.780
 Father, we give you thanks and praise that we can gather together here in the Ottawa Little Theatre to come into your presence.

00:00:07.419 --> 00:00:16.179
 We give you thanks and praise, Father, that our brothers and sisters, our friends, can join in to worship through YouTube and electronic means.

00:00:17.339 --> 00:00:28.240
 Father, we ask in the name of Jesus that if there is anyone present, or if there is anyone watching this right now, or who will be watching it in the days to come.

00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:38.979
 Father, if there are any here who are harassed, or bound, or oppressed, or even demonized by unclean spirits, by demons.

00:00:39.700 --> 00:00:49.899
 Father, not in our own power or in our own righteousness, but Father, in the name of Jesus, washed in his shed blood, made yours by adoption and grace.

00:00:49.899 --> 00:00:57.659
 In the name, the strong name of our Lord Jesus, we ask, Father, for any demon that is speaking that would be silenced by you.

00:00:58.740 --> 00:01:02.260
 Any demon interfering in our lives, that it would be bound by you.

00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:10.460
 And that those silenced and bound demons would be taken far from this place and far from any person that the demon is harassing.

00:01:11.260 --> 00:01:15.780
 That the demon would be taken to the abyss, prepared for it before its final doom.

00:01:15.780 --> 00:01:25.320
 And we ask, Father, for those of us who are Christians, that you would make us more trusting of Jesus, more secure in the gospel.

00:01:25.939 --> 00:01:32.420
 And if there are any here, Father, who have been harassed by demons, that you do not leave them empty, but that you bring them to a saving faith in Jesus.

00:01:32.420 --> 00:01:38.439
 That they would have that true and final protection from all demonic presence and power.

00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:44.299
 And we ask, Father, so that we will be in your presence, where Jesus is Lord.

00:01:44.820 --> 00:01:53.020
 And that you would tune our hearts and move our hearts, that we might receive grace from you this morning and respond to you in a worthy manner.

00:01:53.460 --> 00:01:57.260
 And we ask this in the name of Jesus, your Son and our Savior. Amen.

00:01:57.260 --> 00:01:59.100
 Amen. Please be seated.

00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:04.620
 Some of you might be a little bit surprised by that prayer.

00:02:06.620 --> 00:02:08.500
 You know, one of the problems...

00:02:08.500 --> 00:02:13.240
 Actually, it's going to fit into it, because those of you who are paying attention to the reading, the demons are mentioned a lot.

00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:19.620
 One of the problems is that in our world, people seem to alternate between two poles.

00:02:19.819 --> 00:02:27.120
 They either act like atheists, as if all of reality is just swept of any type of angelic or demonic presence.

00:02:27.620 --> 00:02:31.319
 Or we act like pagans who see spirits everywhere.

00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.299
 And you see that reflected in Christian congregations.

00:02:35.399 --> 00:02:39.799
 There's a lot of Christian churches that basically just act like they're atheists when it comes to stuff like this.

00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:42.840
 And then on the other hand, you see some that act more like pagans.

00:02:42.979 --> 00:02:44.699
 They see spirits everywhere.

00:02:45.340 --> 00:02:49.819
 And we need to come to have some type of a godly balance about all of that type of stuff.

00:02:49.819 --> 00:02:50.739
 But that's a bit of a...

00:02:50.739 --> 00:02:52.079
 Anyway, there you go.

00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:52.900
 That's a bit of a...

00:02:52.900 --> 00:02:54.620
 I wasn't expecting to say that.

00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:58.159
 I have to always be careful when I say things I wasn't expecting to say.

00:02:58.539 --> 00:02:59.359
 I can get into trouble.

00:03:00.180 --> 00:03:01.599
 Some of you have heard this story before.

00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:03.019
 Maybe many of you have heard it before.

00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:05.939
 But for many years, I was part of the Anglican Church of Canada.

00:03:05.939 --> 00:03:11.340
 And I was an Orthodox pastor in the Anglican Church of Canada.

00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:15.900
 And one of the things that meant was that whenever Anglican-y type things going on,

00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:19.879
 or even like ecumenical or political type things going on,

00:03:19.939 --> 00:03:21.560
 guys like me would never get invited.

00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:25.479
 Just the way it worked used to bother me.

00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:26.960
 But after a while, it didn't bother me.

00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:28.080
 That was just the way it was.

00:03:28.140 --> 00:03:29.939
 That people like me wouldn't get invited to speak.

00:03:30.379 --> 00:03:33.920
 But occasionally, people like me would get invited to speak to some of these things.

00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:36.039
 And I would observe what would happen.

00:03:36.180 --> 00:03:38.640
 What would happen is that people like me would...

00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:41.099
 I don't really like this analogy, but I can't think of a better one.

00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:42.560
 They'd pull their punches.

00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:47.020
 They'd try to act really like they were like all of the others.

00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:52.420
 And not really bring out that Orthodox distinctiveness and that Gospel distinctiveness.

00:03:52.600 --> 00:03:56.100
 And they'd often just talk about, you know, basically just be nice type sermon.

00:03:56.600 --> 00:04:00.300
 And I know that they did it because they hoped that if they could sort of prove

00:04:00.300 --> 00:04:02.860
 that they weren't knuckle-dragging mouth breathers,

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:04.960
 that maybe they'd get invited back.

00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:07.600
 But what always happened is they never got invited back.

00:04:08.219 --> 00:04:08.740
 Like, never.

00:04:10.200 --> 00:04:13.240
 So, you know, fast forward a few years.

00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:15.400
 I get invited to this thing that I'd never heard of

00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.840
 before I get invited to the Parliament Hill Christian Fellowship.

00:04:17.899 --> 00:04:20.579
 I probably got invited because of a person who's here in the room today.

00:04:21.060 --> 00:04:23.699
 But I didn't really know her that well back then.

00:04:23.819 --> 00:04:26.340
 And anyway, I get invited to the Parliament Hill Christian Fellowship.

00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.519
 So I just sort of assume, I don't know,

00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.360
 that it's going to be a liberally type of thing.

00:04:32.019 --> 00:04:33.819
 And so I'm praying about what to do.

00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:34.459
 I was honored.

00:04:34.579 --> 00:04:35.639
 I said yes to the invitation.

00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.899
 I thought, I'm not going to be like all of those other people who pull their punch.

00:04:38.980 --> 00:04:40.019
 But what will I speak about?

00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:44.439
 So I decided that if I'm going to get a chance to speak to staffers on Parliament Hill,

00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:48.160
 I'm going to talk to them about the fear of God,

00:04:48.259 --> 00:04:49.800
 the last judgment in the gospel.

00:04:52.060 --> 00:04:54.079
 Because I'm never going to get invited back.

00:04:55.699 --> 00:04:59.019
 So why should I try to do something to get invited back?

00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.180
 I might as well give them this one shot.

00:05:01.540 --> 00:05:03.019
 And you know, the fact of the matter is,

00:05:03.259 --> 00:05:05.600
 I'm not picking on Parliament Hill staffers, by the way.

00:05:06.159 --> 00:05:09.019
 The fact of the matter is, is that, you know, my favorite line,

00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:10.540
 it came from John Maxwell.

00:05:10.540 --> 00:05:12.740
 Well, people don't think they have a problem with money,

00:05:12.860 --> 00:05:16.300
 but they spend money they don't have to buy things they don't need

00:05:16.300 --> 00:05:18.000
 to impress people they don't like.

00:05:19.100 --> 00:05:20.760
 Doesn't that describe a lot of society?

00:05:21.840 --> 00:05:22.700
 Yeah, there we go.

00:05:22.760 --> 00:05:23.040
 And amen.

00:05:23.280 --> 00:05:27.480
 Money we don't have, buy things we don't need to impress people we don't like.

00:05:27.700 --> 00:05:30.040
 Anyway, that's just, you know, we're taught, you know.

00:05:30.100 --> 00:05:32.500
 But, you know, so I know on Parliament Hill, they're looking at polls,

00:05:32.620 --> 00:05:33.560
 they're looking at how to vote,

00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:37.780
 they're looking at, they care about what the CBC or CTV or Global News,

00:05:37.899 --> 00:05:39.480
 like, they care about all of those things.

00:05:39.540 --> 00:05:41.000
 And I just want to say, if you're Christians,

00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:43.519
 what you need to remember is that one day you're going to appear

00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:44.920
 before the judgment seat of God.

00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.840
 And that, therefore, you need to take that into account

00:05:48.840 --> 00:05:50.040
 when you make your decisions and rules.

00:05:50.100 --> 00:05:52.600
 Anyway, they invited me back for, like, 20 years.

00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:55.579
 I'm not saying that's a good policy,

00:05:55.660 --> 00:05:57.540
 although, you know, if you do that, you'll get invited back.

00:05:57.660 --> 00:05:59.180
 Most of the time, you probably won't.

00:05:59.300 --> 00:06:01.340
 But, you know, if you're just going to have that one shot,

00:06:01.339 --> 00:06:03.899
 like, give it to them, but as it turned out, that's what they wanted.

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.439
 They wanted somebody who would talk about hard type of things.

00:06:06.939 --> 00:06:09.859
 And I was speaking on Parliament Hill up until the COVID thing,

00:06:09.919 --> 00:06:11.259
 and I don't know if they've met again,

00:06:11.299 --> 00:06:13.939
 and I'm off their speaker list, or they'll reboot.

00:06:14.179 --> 00:06:15.759
 You should pray that it gets rebooted.

00:06:16.859 --> 00:06:19.679
 And it's in God's hands whether I get invited to speak or not.

00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:21.299
 But anyway, there you go.

00:06:21.579 --> 00:06:23.439
 So all of this fits in, actually, believe it or not,

00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:25.779
 both my weird prayer, my little aside about demons,

00:06:25.979 --> 00:06:29.659
 and this whole thing about people in government

00:06:29.660 --> 00:06:31.960
 with the text that we have before us today.

00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:34.680
 In fact, it touches upon very, very profound human issues.

00:06:35.320 --> 00:06:37.280
 So if you get out your Bibles,

00:06:37.380 --> 00:06:38.700
 we're looking at Mark chapter 1,

00:06:38.900 --> 00:06:40.700
 and we're going to begin at verse 21.

00:06:41.180 --> 00:06:42.860
 I just want to continue to encourage you,

00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:44.020
 whether it's here or online,

00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.780
 we will put the words to the Scripture up on the screen,

00:06:46.840 --> 00:06:48.379
 and most of the time I stick with it.

00:06:48.760 --> 00:06:50.740
 But there is something about having your own Bible

00:06:50.740 --> 00:06:52.800
 and being able to follow along.

00:06:53.460 --> 00:06:55.520
 And, you know, in fact, it's a very, very good thing

00:06:55.520 --> 00:06:56.480
 if afterwards you say,

00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:58.900
 George, you didn't connect this verse to that verse or whatever,

00:06:59.100 --> 00:07:00.600
 or you told me I voted.

00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:02.939
 I never want to, quote, take anything out of context.

00:07:03.640 --> 00:07:04.900
 So it's good to have your own Bibles,

00:07:05.280 --> 00:07:07.800
 to be Bereans, where you search the Scriptures yourself

00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:09.580
 to see if what I'm saying is true.

00:07:10.200 --> 00:07:12.560
 That's a bit of an in-house Bible analogy.

00:07:12.700 --> 00:07:13.600
 Anyway, here's the text.

00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.240
 And they have already explained to you, though,

00:07:16.340 --> 00:07:19.379
 about how that's the Jesus and four of his disciples.

00:07:19.580 --> 00:07:20.660
 They went into Capernaum,

00:07:21.379 --> 00:07:22.720
 and immediately on the Sabbath,

00:07:22.860 --> 00:07:25.180
 he entered the synagogue and was teaching.

00:07:25.180 --> 00:07:26.519
 Now, just a bit of an aside,

00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:29.220
 Capernaum is going to come across a lot.

00:07:30.459 --> 00:07:32.300
 Actually, this is a thing for some of, you know,

00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:33.240
 two weeks in a row now,

00:07:33.300 --> 00:07:35.420
 I've talked a little bit about differences in the Gospel.

00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:36.980
 And this is a third way to understand

00:07:36.980 --> 00:07:38.840
 some of the differences that happen in the Gospel.

00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:41.579
 The thing that's interesting about Galilee

00:07:41.579 --> 00:07:43.500
 is that Galilee was a mixed area.

00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:44.879
 It was an area where Jewish,

00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:46.680
 the majority of people were Jewish,

00:07:46.780 --> 00:07:49.899
 but there was a significant non-Jewish population.

00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:51.840
 And the non-Jewish population

00:07:51.840 --> 00:07:53.160
 wouldn't have spoken Hebrew.

00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:54.640
 They might have spoken Aramaic,

00:07:54.740 --> 00:07:56.400
 but most likely they spoke Greek,

00:07:56.620 --> 00:08:00.280
 which was sort of like the lingua franca of the world.

00:08:01.580 --> 00:08:03.700
 And Capernaum's an important town, actually,

00:08:03.780 --> 00:08:05.700
 relatively important town in those days,

00:08:05.780 --> 00:08:07.440
 because on one hand, it's on the Sea of Galilee,

00:08:07.760 --> 00:08:08.560
 and in those days,

00:08:08.620 --> 00:08:10.320
 there's lots of fish in the Sea of Galilee.

00:08:10.700 --> 00:08:12.379
 In the ancient world at that time,

00:08:12.460 --> 00:08:15.980
 the main protein source for people other than beans was fish.

00:08:17.020 --> 00:08:20.600
 Not meat, not goat or chicken or beef.

00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:21.379
 It was fish.

00:08:21.939 --> 00:08:24.540
 And there's, in fact, archaeological records

00:08:24.540 --> 00:08:26.939
 to show that the fish from the Sea of Galilee

00:08:26.939 --> 00:08:30.020
 were exported as far away as to Alexandria and Egypt

00:08:30.020 --> 00:08:32.860
 and as far away as Damascus in Syria.

00:08:34.040 --> 00:08:36.460
 And, in fact, Capernaum is on the main trade route

00:08:36.460 --> 00:08:40.300
 that goes from the Mediterranean Basin up to Damascus.

00:08:40.920 --> 00:08:42.759
 So this was, in a sense, on one level,

00:08:42.820 --> 00:08:45.060
 it's a bit of like a backwater type of place,

00:08:45.059 --> 00:08:47.379
 but it's an important regional commercial centre.

00:08:47.979 --> 00:08:50.419
 And because it would have had traders going back and forward,

00:08:50.539 --> 00:08:52.119
 it would be a place where you would expect

00:08:52.119 --> 00:08:53.739
 many people to know many languages,

00:08:54.379 --> 00:08:58.000
 not just Hebrew or just Aramaic.

00:08:58.059 --> 00:08:59.939
 When you go to Montreal, for instance,

00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:01.699
 most people that you would meet in Montreal

00:09:01.699 --> 00:09:02.899
 speak French and English,

00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.219
 as well as if they're new Canadians,

00:09:05.459 --> 00:09:08.059
 whatever other languages from their country of origin.

00:09:08.619 --> 00:09:09.559
 It's not unusual.

00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:11.099
 In areas like that,

00:09:11.199 --> 00:09:13.759
 where there's lots of people from many nations coming around.

00:09:14.459 --> 00:09:17.539
 When I was in Namibia,

00:09:18.199 --> 00:09:20.619
 I'd ask, I had to take a cab twice,

00:09:20.739 --> 00:09:22.179
 once to get, both to come to,

00:09:22.319 --> 00:09:23.759
 to get to and from the airport.

00:09:24.199 --> 00:09:25.839
 And I'd made, I'd just ask the cab drivers,

00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:27.179
 how many languages do you speak?

00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:29.419
 And the first one spoke seven.

00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:32.059
 The second said he spoke ten.

00:09:32.859 --> 00:09:35.819
 Now, I have no idea whether they were just giving me,

00:09:36.339 --> 00:09:38.199
 you know, blowing smoke at me to impress me.

00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:40.100
 I didn't know any languages to test them.

00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.379
 But they spoke lots of languages.

00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:44.420
 Now, I mention this.

00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:45.960
 This is a Bible difficulty thing.

00:09:46.400 --> 00:09:48.960
 Because one of the things that people don't often think about

00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.500
 is that Jesus definitely knew Aramaic and Hebrew.

00:09:51.620 --> 00:09:52.140
 We know that.

00:09:52.460 --> 00:09:54.680
 But because of the fact that where he was based,

00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:55.879
 he probably knew Greek.

00:09:56.280 --> 00:09:58.660
 And because there was a significant Roman garrison there,

00:09:58.740 --> 00:10:00.640
 he also probably, he might have known Latin.

00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:02.420
 And so what people often say,

00:10:02.560 --> 00:10:03.660
 they'll look at a Bible thing

00:10:03.660 --> 00:10:04.740
 where they seem to have three,

00:10:04.860 --> 00:10:05.960
 like slightly different wording,

00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:07.920
 and some people get really bent out of shape.

00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:11.420
 And scholars write things that kill lots of trees

00:10:11.420 --> 00:10:12.980
 to try to figure out these problems.

00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:14.720
 But sometimes it could be very simple.

00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.900
 When I had the privilege to be in Angola,

00:10:18.060 --> 00:10:22.640
 on the edge of the Kalahari,

00:10:23.160 --> 00:10:24.320
 I got to be able to speak,

00:10:24.379 --> 00:10:25.180
 you've heard this before,

00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:26.160
 I got to share,

00:10:26.400 --> 00:10:29.000
 to preach to a group of semi-nomadic tribespeople

00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.740
 who had only had the gospel come to them very recently.

00:10:31.740 --> 00:10:32.919
 And when I spoke,

00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:34.460
 I spoke in English,

00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:37.399
 and beside me was a man who spoke Portuguese,

00:10:37.740 --> 00:10:39.399
 which was the colonial language,

00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:42.259
 and he would translate my words into Portuguese.

00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:44.899
 And beside him was another man

00:10:44.899 --> 00:10:47.820
 who also spoke not only English and Portuguese,

00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:49.299
 but he spoke the tribal language.

00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:50.299
 So I would say,

00:10:50.379 --> 00:10:51.240
 da-da-da-da-da-da,

00:10:51.379 --> 00:10:52.279
 and then you would hear,

00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:53.879
 da-da-da-da-da-da in Portuguese,

00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:54.759
 and then you would hear,

00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:55.680
 da-da-da-da-da-da

00:10:55.680 --> 00:10:57.240
 in the tribal language.

00:10:57.879 --> 00:10:59.200
 And for people who were listening

00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:00.120
 who spoke all three,

00:11:00.340 --> 00:11:01.580
 it would be very interesting.

00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:02.039
 In fact,

00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:03.840
 some of the missionaries told me a little bit

00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:04.580
 about how they had,

00:11:04.820 --> 00:11:05.060
 you know,

00:11:05.220 --> 00:11:06.600
 whether they didn't always agree necessarily

00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:07.700
 with how the Portuguese guy

00:11:07.700 --> 00:11:10.240
 translated me into Portuguese.

00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:11.700
 But the point is,

00:11:12.820 --> 00:11:14.639
 what we don't often think about

00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:16.200
 is if you went back in a time machine,

00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:18.139
 you might see Jesus speak in Jerusalem

00:11:18.139 --> 00:11:18.659
 and say,

00:11:19.139 --> 00:11:20.100
 A, B, C, D.

00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:23.500
 And then he says A, B, C, D in,

00:11:23.700 --> 00:11:24.759
 he says it in Hebrew,

00:11:25.180 --> 00:11:26.600
 he says A, B, C, D in Aramaic,

00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:28.019
 and he says A, B, C, D in Greek.

00:11:30.540 --> 00:11:31.560
 And then maybe even,

00:11:31.620 --> 00:11:32.759
 this is a fourth time in Latin.

00:11:34.259 --> 00:11:35.700
 And people who are recording it,

00:11:35.980 --> 00:11:36.740
 the wording's going to be

00:11:36.740 --> 00:11:37.680
 a little bit different, right?

00:11:37.740 --> 00:11:37.940
 I mean,

00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:38.740
 this is just the third thing.

00:11:38.800 --> 00:11:39.639
 There's lots of reasons

00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:40.440
 why you should trust

00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:41.840
 the historical reliability

00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:42.639
 of the New Testament.

00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:44.540
 But minor changes in wording,

00:11:45.060 --> 00:11:45.800
 especially when they,

00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:47.460
 there's lots of ways to explain it,

00:11:47.500 --> 00:11:49.159
 but even something as simple as that,

00:11:49.220 --> 00:11:50.500
 that Jesus could have been saying

00:11:50.500 --> 00:11:51.300
 the same thing

00:11:51.300 --> 00:11:52.899
 in two or three times,

00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:54.120
 maybe even four times

00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:55.060
 in different languages

00:11:55.059 --> 00:11:57.059
 so that all of his hearers could hear,

00:11:57.659 --> 00:11:59.419
 is in fact a very reasonable way

00:11:59.419 --> 00:12:01.119
 to understand the dynamics

00:12:01.119 --> 00:12:01.919
 of what was going on

00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:02.500
 in his ministry.

00:12:02.719 --> 00:12:03.699
 Anyway, that's a long aside

00:12:03.699 --> 00:12:04.979
 just on Capernaum,

00:12:05.059 --> 00:12:06.099
 but hopefully it helps you

00:12:06.099 --> 00:12:06.939
 when you read the Bible

00:12:06.939 --> 00:12:07.779
 to have confidence

00:12:07.779 --> 00:12:08.659
 in the New Testament

00:12:08.659 --> 00:12:09.459
 and have confidence

00:12:09.459 --> 00:12:10.099
 in the Gospel.

00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:11.959
 But let's get to

00:12:11.959 --> 00:12:14.199
 the real existential point

00:12:14.199 --> 00:12:15.139
 using a big word,

00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:15.699
 existential.

00:12:16.079 --> 00:12:16.679
 Verse 22,

00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:27.099
 Now, this touches on what I did

00:12:27.099 --> 00:12:28.000
 with the Parliament Hill

00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:28.959
 Christian Fellowship.

00:12:29.819 --> 00:12:30.939
 There's no real way

00:12:30.939 --> 00:12:32.379
 to translate into English

00:12:32.379 --> 00:12:34.519
 this word authority

00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:35.979
 in the original language.

00:12:36.579 --> 00:12:37.459
 In English,

00:12:37.659 --> 00:12:39.019
 when we use the word authority,

00:12:39.019 --> 00:12:40.599
 it's basically a completely

00:12:40.599 --> 00:12:43.079
 secular idea or concept.

00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:44.980
 I have authority

00:12:44.980 --> 00:12:46.480
 to perform weddings

00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:47.980
 in the province of Ontario.

00:12:47.980 --> 00:12:48.879
 That was given to me

00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:49.720
 by the state.

00:12:50.300 --> 00:12:51.660
 I have a marriage license

00:12:51.660 --> 00:12:52.300
 with a number.

00:12:52.420 --> 00:12:53.320
 I'm registered with the state.

00:12:53.379 --> 00:12:54.820
 I can do wedding ceremonies.

00:12:55.780 --> 00:12:55.980
 You know,

00:12:56.040 --> 00:12:57.300
 people get authority

00:12:57.300 --> 00:12:59.220
 from acts of Parliament.

00:12:59.400 --> 00:12:59.960
 They get from

00:12:59.960 --> 00:13:01.139
 professional associations,

00:13:01.139 --> 00:13:02.220
 but they're all completely

00:13:02.220 --> 00:13:03.139
 and utterly secular.

00:13:03.780 --> 00:13:04.520
 And that's just how

00:13:04.520 --> 00:13:05.680
 we understand the word.

00:13:05.780 --> 00:13:06.580
 But if we understand

00:13:06.580 --> 00:13:07.400
 the word that way,

00:13:07.460 --> 00:13:08.440
 we're misunderstanding

00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:10.340
 the word in the original language.

00:13:10.340 --> 00:13:12.720
 Because in this word,

00:13:13.019 --> 00:13:14.019
 there is a very,

00:13:14.180 --> 00:13:15.259
 very clear connection

00:13:15.259 --> 00:13:16.300
 to the supernatural,

00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:17.639
 to God,

00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:19.000
 to the transcendent.

00:13:19.620 --> 00:13:20.759
 It's not merely

00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:21.580
 that there's some

00:13:21.580 --> 00:13:22.500
 human authority.

00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:22.940
 It's not,

00:13:23.040 --> 00:13:23.680
 there's not saying

00:13:23.680 --> 00:13:24.240
 that he has

00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:25.920
 an authoritative manner,

00:13:26.040 --> 00:13:27.300
 that he has a deep,

00:13:27.500 --> 00:13:28.259
 booming voice,

00:13:28.300 --> 00:13:28.600
 or whatever.

00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:29.379
 Maybe back then

00:13:29.379 --> 00:13:29.700
 they thought,

00:13:29.920 --> 00:13:31.019
 hi, squeaky voices

00:13:31.019 --> 00:13:31.840
 are authoritative.

00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:32.600
 Like, we don't know.

00:13:32.899 --> 00:13:33.620
 But it's not as if

00:13:33.620 --> 00:13:34.320
 he was able to have

00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:35.940
 the right type of voice,

00:13:36.040 --> 00:13:38.080
 to wear the right type of dress,

00:13:38.180 --> 00:13:39.180
 to look the right way,

00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:40.120
 to somehow or another

00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:41.560
 act authoritative.

00:13:41.740 --> 00:13:42.899
 They have this sense

00:13:42.899 --> 00:13:43.679
 that there's something

00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:44.259
 about him

00:13:44.259 --> 00:13:45.799
 which is authoritative.

00:13:46.580 --> 00:13:47.639
 And for them,

00:13:48.019 --> 00:13:48.940
 that word authority,

00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:49.720
 and all the times

00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:50.700
 you see the word authority

00:13:50.700 --> 00:13:51.399
 in the New Testament,

00:13:51.539 --> 00:13:52.580
 it always includes

00:13:52.580 --> 00:13:53.659
 that divine,

00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:55.279
 supernatural,

00:13:55.620 --> 00:13:56.940
 transcendent dimension.

00:13:57.919 --> 00:13:58.940
 Interestingly enough,

00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:01.039
 even in our secular world,

00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:02.000
 and Canada is,

00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:02.759
 in some ways,

00:14:02.820 --> 00:14:04.879
 a rabidly secular society.

00:14:05.419 --> 00:14:06.700
 Parts of the elite culture

00:14:06.700 --> 00:14:08.000
 is rabidly secular.

00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:08.080
 secular.

00:14:08.779 --> 00:14:10.100
 But even in our

00:14:10.100 --> 00:14:11.860
 rabidly secular culture,

00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.019
 people with authority

00:14:14.019 --> 00:14:15.480
 like to try to invest

00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:16.419
 themselves with

00:14:16.419 --> 00:14:18.120
 something transcendent.

00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:21.080
 We're not just

00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:21.779
 the prime minister.

00:14:21.779 --> 00:14:23.299
 I'm saving the planet

00:14:23.299 --> 00:14:24.620
 from climate change.

00:14:24.779 --> 00:14:25.399
 I'm not just

00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:26.019
 the prime minister.

00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:27.019
 I'm saving us

00:14:27.019 --> 00:14:28.779
 from having horrendous

00:14:28.779 --> 00:14:30.379
 COVID things.

00:14:30.460 --> 00:14:31.139
 I'm not just

00:14:31.139 --> 00:14:32.279
 the prime minister.

00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:33.799
 I'm part of a progressive,

00:14:34.179 --> 00:14:34.759
 political way.

00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:35.559
 The whole culture

00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:36.100
 is moving.

00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:37.460
 Something bigger than me

00:14:37.460 --> 00:14:38.580
 that's transcendent,

00:14:38.700 --> 00:14:40.080
 that's planet big,

00:14:40.259 --> 00:14:43.120
 that's history big,

00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:44.299
 history transformative.

00:14:44.620 --> 00:14:46.519
 And it's a regular feature

00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:47.159
 of authority

00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:47.960
 that they want to try

00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:48.840
 to sneak in,

00:14:48.899 --> 00:14:49.620
 that they're connected

00:14:49.620 --> 00:14:51.200
 to something divine,

00:14:51.500 --> 00:14:52.419
 something moral,

00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:54.240
 something transcendent,

00:14:54.340 --> 00:14:55.159
 something big.

00:14:56.059 --> 00:14:56.759
 And while Canadians,

00:14:57.840 --> 00:14:59.179
 and it actually sort of shows

00:14:59.179 --> 00:14:59.720
 for a second,

00:14:59.779 --> 00:15:00.460
 if you think about it,

00:15:00.460 --> 00:15:02.600
 why is it that it's

00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:03.440
 very, very hard

00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:04.460
 for secular people

00:15:04.460 --> 00:15:05.580
 to just purely say,

00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:06.740
 well, this is just human?

00:15:08.019 --> 00:15:09.120
 Like, why is that hard?

00:15:10.500 --> 00:15:11.620
 Like, why is it

00:15:11.620 --> 00:15:13.879
 that they don't want

00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:14.320
 to just say,

00:15:14.400 --> 00:15:15.259
 well, it's just that way

00:15:15.259 --> 00:15:16.400
 because I decided it?

00:15:17.820 --> 00:15:18.940
 No, they want to say

00:15:18.940 --> 00:15:19.920
 that somehow or another

00:15:19.920 --> 00:15:21.259
 that there's something more.

00:15:22.100 --> 00:15:23.340
 But the ancients

00:15:23.340 --> 00:15:25.160
 didn't hide around that.

00:15:25.259 --> 00:15:26.180
 They directly come up

00:15:26.180 --> 00:15:27.180
 with a word that says

00:15:27.180 --> 00:15:29.200
 there's something supernatural.

00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:30.720
 There's something of God.

00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:32.180
 There's something of the heavens

00:15:32.180 --> 00:15:34.180
 involved in this type

00:15:34.180 --> 00:15:35.780
 of human authority.

00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:36.940
 And that's the word

00:15:36.940 --> 00:15:37.780
 that's going on here.

00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:39.060
 They're recognizing

00:15:39.060 --> 00:15:41.680
 something more than human

00:15:41.680 --> 00:15:42.700
 in Jesus

00:15:42.700 --> 00:15:43.480
 when they say

00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:44.220
 he has authority.

00:15:45.460 --> 00:15:46.240
 Now, how on earth

00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:46.700
 would you ever

00:15:46.700 --> 00:15:47.780
 possibly know that?

00:15:50.400 --> 00:15:51.240
 And why on earth

00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:52.080
 should any of you

00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:52.580
 who aren't,

00:15:52.680 --> 00:15:53.460
 if you're here

00:15:53.460 --> 00:15:54.259
 as a seeker

00:15:54.259 --> 00:15:55.020
 or a skeptic

00:15:55.020 --> 00:15:55.720
 or a scoffer,

00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:56.820
 if you're watching this

00:15:56.820 --> 00:15:58.080
 as a seeker,

00:15:58.220 --> 00:15:58.720
 a skeptic,

00:15:58.720 --> 00:15:59.340
 a scoffer,

00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:00.720
 you know,

00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:01.779
 hopefully this isn't the case,

00:16:01.860 --> 00:16:02.460
 watching to see

00:16:02.460 --> 00:16:03.240
 if there's some reason

00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:04.300
 you can cancel me

00:16:04.300 --> 00:16:05.100
 or something like that,

00:16:05.139 --> 00:16:05.700
 which has happened

00:16:05.700 --> 00:16:06.700
 to some churches lately

00:16:06.700 --> 00:16:07.540
 in the Ottawa area,

00:16:07.620 --> 00:16:08.720
 at least one that I know of.

00:16:09.220 --> 00:16:10.000
 Somebody watching

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:10.660
 their services

00:16:10.660 --> 00:16:12.200
 to try to get something naughty

00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:12.840
 to see if they can

00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:13.639
 get them canceled.

00:16:19.460 --> 00:16:19.779
 Sorry,

00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:20.519
 I have to watch

00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:21.139
 what I'm going to say.

00:16:22.940 --> 00:16:24.340
 So why should we believe that?

00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:25.340
 Just because it's in the text.

00:16:25.340 --> 00:16:27.040
 Well, it's very interesting

00:16:27.040 --> 00:16:28.540
 what happens in the text next.

00:16:29.040 --> 00:16:29.740
 Look what happens

00:16:29.740 --> 00:16:30.620
 in verse 23.

00:16:31.780 --> 00:16:32.300
 And immediately

00:16:32.300 --> 00:16:33.460
 there was in their synagogue

00:16:33.460 --> 00:16:35.340
 a man with an unclean spirit

00:16:35.340 --> 00:16:36.820
 and he cried out.

00:16:36.980 --> 00:16:37.980
 Now, an unclean spirit

00:16:37.980 --> 00:16:39.280
 is in Mark's gospel

00:16:39.280 --> 00:16:39.840
 there's going to be

00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:40.560
 two different ways

00:16:40.560 --> 00:16:41.519
 they refer to demons.

00:16:42.259 --> 00:16:43.379
 One is just the word demon

00:16:43.379 --> 00:16:43.879
 and the other one

00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:45.180
 is the word unclean spirit.

00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:46.720
 And they're going to show up

00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:47.540
 at different times.

00:16:47.660 --> 00:16:49.100
 The devil has already showed up

00:16:49.100 --> 00:16:50.180
 earlier than this

00:16:50.180 --> 00:16:51.720
 and there's going to be demons.

00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:53.600
 And immediately

00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:54.540
 there was in their synagogue

00:16:54.540 --> 00:16:55.259
 verse 23

00:16:55.259 --> 00:16:56.639
 a man with an unclean spirit

00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:57.340
 and he cried out

00:16:57.340 --> 00:16:59.379
 this is the man

00:16:59.379 --> 00:17:00.420
 who's

00:17:00.420 --> 00:17:04.940
 who has an unclean spirit

00:17:04.940 --> 00:17:06.220
 connected to him.

00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:09.059
 Basically, he's possessed.

00:17:09.259 --> 00:17:10.140
 He's demonized.

00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:11.799
 And he cried out

00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:13.140
 what have you to do with us

00:17:13.140 --> 00:17:13.900
 Jesus of Nazareth?

00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:14.920
 Notice how he says what?

00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:16.360
 What have you to do with us?

00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:18.960
 The man and the demon

00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:20.700
 have become so intertwined

00:17:20.700 --> 00:17:21.840
 that it's a plural.

00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:24.279
 What have you to do with us

00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:26.000
 Jesus of Nazareth?

00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:28.240
 Have you come to destroy us?

00:17:29.059 --> 00:17:30.299
 I know who you are

00:17:30.299 --> 00:17:31.900
 the Holy One of God.

00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:34.340
 But Jesus rebuked him

00:17:34.340 --> 00:17:36.400
 saying be silent

00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:37.819
 and come out of him.

00:17:38.500 --> 00:17:39.580
 And the unclean spirit

00:17:39.580 --> 00:17:40.779
 convulsing the man

00:17:40.779 --> 00:17:42.700
 and crying out with a loud voice

00:17:42.700 --> 00:17:43.940
 came out of the man.

00:17:44.580 --> 00:17:45.799
 And they were all amazed

00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:47.140
 so that they questioned

00:17:47.140 --> 00:17:47.759
 among themselves

00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:49.240
 saying what is this?

00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:50.799
 A new teaching with authority.

00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:51.500
 Remember what I said

00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:52.059
 about authority.

00:17:52.660 --> 00:17:53.420
 He commands

00:17:53.420 --> 00:17:55.120
 even the unclean spirits

00:17:55.120 --> 00:17:56.299
 and they obey him.

00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:57.920
 And at once his fame

00:17:57.920 --> 00:17:58.620
 spread everywhere

00:17:58.620 --> 00:17:59.599
 throughout all the surrounding

00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:00.559
 region of Galilee.

00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:04.120
 Now, at the earlier service

00:18:04.120 --> 00:18:07.700
 there's a semi-retired

00:18:07.700 --> 00:18:08.960
 professor here

00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:10.099
 who, or there's a person

00:18:10.099 --> 00:18:10.620
 here who used to do

00:18:10.620 --> 00:18:11.720
 lots of social research.

00:18:12.460 --> 00:18:14.519
 So, in social research

00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:16.440
 and I had a bit of a discussion

00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:17.519
 with him between the services

00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:18.559
 and there's various ways

00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:19.099
 to talk about it

00:18:19.099 --> 00:18:20.139
 but very simply put

00:18:20.139 --> 00:18:22.019
 often in social research

00:18:22.019 --> 00:18:23.240
 whether it's political science

00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:24.079
 or psychology

00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:25.019
 or sociology

00:18:25.019 --> 00:18:27.299
 they know that there's

00:18:27.299 --> 00:18:28.319
 things going on.

00:18:28.460 --> 00:18:29.319
 There's variables

00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:30.819
 about, you know,

00:18:30.900 --> 00:18:32.119
 things with intelligence

00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:33.220
 things with, you know,

00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:34.299
 emotional investment.

00:18:35.779 --> 00:18:37.160
 There's things going on

00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:37.819
 in the culture

00:18:37.819 --> 00:18:38.900
 and in the society

00:18:38.900 --> 00:18:40.200
 and they try to measure it

00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:40.920
 and the things

00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:42.379
 that they're trying to measure

00:18:42.380 --> 00:18:43.940
 can't be measured directly.

00:18:45.120 --> 00:18:45.900
 And so what the

00:18:45.900 --> 00:18:47.180
 social scientists do

00:18:47.180 --> 00:18:48.340
 is they have a theory

00:18:48.340 --> 00:18:49.300
 they have hypothesis

00:18:49.300 --> 00:18:50.760
 they have an understanding

00:18:50.760 --> 00:18:51.740
 of what's going on

00:18:51.740 --> 00:18:52.900
 and what they try to do

00:18:52.900 --> 00:18:53.840
 is they try to develop

00:18:53.840 --> 00:18:55.760
 an indicator of the reality

00:18:55.760 --> 00:18:58.040
 and the indicator

00:18:58.040 --> 00:18:58.560
 is something

00:18:58.560 --> 00:18:59.540
 that they can measure.

00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:01.640
 So they don't say necessarily

00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:02.880
 that if this is the reality

00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:04.380
 and this is the indicator

00:19:04.380 --> 00:19:05.860
 they don't say necessarily

00:19:05.860 --> 00:19:06.700
 that the indicator

00:19:06.700 --> 00:19:07.340
 is the whole thing

00:19:07.340 --> 00:19:07.900
 of the reality.

00:19:08.040 --> 00:19:08.520
 They're trying to get

00:19:08.520 --> 00:19:09.520
 at this real thing

00:19:09.520 --> 00:19:10.800
 and they can't get

00:19:10.800 --> 00:19:11.540
 at this real thing

00:19:11.540 --> 00:19:12.240
 because it can't be

00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:12.700
 measured

00:19:12.700 --> 00:19:14.299
 and they want to be

00:19:14.299 --> 00:19:15.059
 social scientists.

00:19:15.180 --> 00:19:15.620
 They want to be able

00:19:15.620 --> 00:19:16.779
 to do path analysis

00:19:16.779 --> 00:19:18.420
 and cosine analysis

00:19:18.420 --> 00:19:19.160
 and they want to be able

00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:20.079
 to measure it in some way

00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:21.180
 and show what's going on

00:19:21.180 --> 00:19:22.160
 but they come up

00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:22.640
 with this way

00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:23.259
 of thinking about

00:19:23.259 --> 00:19:24.400
 that there's these indicators

00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:25.620
 that can be measured

00:19:25.620 --> 00:19:27.079
 and that if you get

00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:27.880
 at the indicators

00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:28.720
 you're getting at this

00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:30.259
 you're taking a step

00:19:30.259 --> 00:19:30.920
 at getting at this

00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:31.980
 underlying reality.

00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:33.579
 In an interesting way

00:19:33.579 --> 00:19:34.359
 that's what's going on

00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:35.099
 here in the gospel.

00:19:35.819 --> 00:19:37.099
 You get an indicator

00:19:37.099 --> 00:19:38.599
 so there's no way

00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:39.240
 of proving

00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:39.900
 whether or not

00:19:39.900 --> 00:19:40.960
 Jesus has that type

00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:42.200
 of supernatural authority

00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:42.980
 not directly

00:19:42.980 --> 00:19:46.059
 but what you can have

00:19:46.059 --> 00:19:47.220
 are indicators of it

00:19:47.220 --> 00:19:48.500
 and one particular

00:19:48.500 --> 00:19:49.299
 indicator of it

00:19:49.299 --> 00:19:49.980
 it's going to show up

00:19:49.980 --> 00:19:51.559
 more than once

00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:52.420
 in this series

00:19:52.420 --> 00:19:52.940
 of stories

00:19:52.940 --> 00:19:53.860
 that we're looking at today

00:19:53.860 --> 00:19:55.180
 we'll see if I read

00:19:55.180 --> 00:19:55.579
 all of them

00:19:55.579 --> 00:19:56.340
 a second time

00:19:56.340 --> 00:19:57.799
 but one indicator

00:19:57.799 --> 00:19:58.420
 of that type

00:19:58.420 --> 00:19:58.940
 of authority

00:19:58.940 --> 00:19:59.720
 is whether Jesus

00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:00.799
 can cast out a demon

00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:04.259
 and it's very interesting

00:20:04.259 --> 00:20:05.120
 of how he does it.

00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:06.299
 He doesn't perform

00:20:06.299 --> 00:20:07.319
 an exorcism.

00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:09.759
 He doesn't do

00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:10.639
 like the pagans

00:20:10.639 --> 00:20:11.059
 would do

00:20:11.059 --> 00:20:12.059
 in a case like that

00:20:12.059 --> 00:20:12.720
 which they would

00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:13.440
 try to invoke

00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:14.460
 different gods.

00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:17.359
 He doesn't use anything

00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:19.019
 that he doesn't try

00:20:19.019 --> 00:20:19.899
 to cast a different

00:20:19.899 --> 00:20:20.759
 type of spell

00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:21.700
 using so-called

00:20:21.700 --> 00:20:22.419
 white magic

00:20:22.419 --> 00:20:24.200
 against black magic.

00:20:24.740 --> 00:20:25.519
 He doesn't do

00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:26.599
 what a devout Jew

00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:27.059
 would do

00:20:27.059 --> 00:20:27.819
 which might use

00:20:27.819 --> 00:20:28.279
 not only

00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:29.240
 what we would call

00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:30.460
 maybe liturgical things

00:20:30.460 --> 00:20:31.339
 like holy water

00:20:31.339 --> 00:20:32.159
 and stuff like that

00:20:32.159 --> 00:20:32.799
 but that they would

00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:34.779
 have a period of prayer

00:20:34.779 --> 00:20:36.119
 asking God

00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:37.019
 to do something.

00:20:37.700 --> 00:20:38.440
 What he does

00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:39.819
 is he just merely says

00:20:39.819 --> 00:20:40.759
 what does he say

00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:41.579
 just merely says

00:20:41.579 --> 00:20:42.119
 be silent

00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:42.799
 and come out of them.

00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:45.399
 He doesn't appeal

00:20:45.399 --> 00:20:46.480
 to a higher authority

00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:47.000
 doesn't appeal

00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:47.819
 to any other types

00:20:47.819 --> 00:20:48.519
 of authorities.

00:20:49.099 --> 00:20:49.379
 He

00:20:49.379 --> 00:20:50.359
 as

00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:51.859
 authority

00:20:51.859 --> 00:20:55.599
 merely speaks

00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:57.359
 and the demon flees.

00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:00.460
 He doesn't pray

00:21:00.460 --> 00:21:00.960
 he doesn't do anything

00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:01.539
 he just speaks

00:21:01.539 --> 00:21:02.700
 and the demon's gone.

00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:04.240
 In fact actually

00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:05.140
 at a level

00:21:05.140 --> 00:21:06.039
 that you can't tell

00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:06.700
 at from here

00:21:06.700 --> 00:21:07.859
 but scholars will say

00:21:07.859 --> 00:21:08.519
 that one of the things

00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:09.500
 which is very interesting

00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:11.539
 about all of the stories

00:21:11.539 --> 00:21:12.079
 like this

00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:12.720
 that take place

00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:13.720
 in Mark's gospel

00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:15.120
 is that if you go back

00:21:15.120 --> 00:21:16.299
 to the ancient literature

00:21:16.299 --> 00:21:17.220
 of the same time

00:21:17.220 --> 00:21:18.079
 in the same language

00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:19.420
 there's many apparent

00:21:19.420 --> 00:21:20.759
 miracle type stories

00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:21.339
 like this

00:21:21.339 --> 00:21:22.220
 but in fact

00:21:22.220 --> 00:21:23.240
 at a literary level

00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:24.380
 the miracle stories

00:21:24.380 --> 00:21:25.220
 that Mark writes

00:21:25.220 --> 00:21:25.680
 and Luke

00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:26.220
 and Matthew

00:21:26.220 --> 00:21:26.759
 and John

00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:28.539
 are qualitatively different

00:21:28.539 --> 00:21:29.799
 than the same stories

00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:31.579
 written by the pagan literature.

00:21:32.259 --> 00:21:32.779
 That in fact

00:21:32.779 --> 00:21:33.660
 all of the cases

00:21:33.660 --> 00:21:34.600
 but Mark's a very

00:21:34.600 --> 00:21:35.580
 very clear example

00:21:35.580 --> 00:21:35.880
 of us

00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:37.640
 they use fact language.

00:21:38.580 --> 00:21:39.800
 They use dispassionate

00:21:39.800 --> 00:21:40.640
 we would almost say

00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:42.460
 scientific language

00:21:42.460 --> 00:21:44.560
 descriptive language

00:21:44.560 --> 00:21:46.259
 whereas the other type

00:21:46.259 --> 00:21:46.759
 of language

00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:47.560
 is couched

00:21:47.560 --> 00:21:48.779
 with seems like

00:21:48.779 --> 00:21:49.640
 and other types

00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:50.680
 of flowery types

00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:51.200
 of things

00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:52.640
 that shows

00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:53.480
 that the writers

00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:54.540
 are trying to blur

00:21:54.540 --> 00:21:55.600
 the whole realm

00:21:55.600 --> 00:21:56.580
 between poetry

00:21:56.580 --> 00:21:57.440
 and imagination

00:21:57.440 --> 00:21:59.540
 and myth making

00:21:59.540 --> 00:22:00.640
 and what actually happened

00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:01.320
 but none of that

00:22:01.319 --> 00:22:01.619
 is here

00:22:01.619 --> 00:22:02.480
 it's a very type

00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:03.379
 of factoid

00:22:03.379 --> 00:22:04.059
 language

00:22:04.059 --> 00:22:05.039
 which is used

00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:07.319
 and so in this story

00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:08.259
 which is just sort of

00:22:08.259 --> 00:22:09.359
 very matter of fact

00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:11.119
 Jesus just merely expresses

00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:13.200
 he just merely says

00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:14.439
 and this is what happens

00:22:14.439 --> 00:22:16.679
 and so the implication is

00:22:16.679 --> 00:22:18.240
 if Jesus can do that

00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:19.439
 he is authority

00:22:19.439 --> 00:22:23.039
 and so therefore

00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:23.960
 these other things

00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:24.679
 that he says

00:22:24.679 --> 00:22:26.000
 are

00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:28.519
 it's authority itself

00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:30.680
 in fact not authority itself

00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:31.539
 it's authority

00:22:31.539 --> 00:22:32.799
 himself

00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:34.200
 speaking

00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:35.519
 authority

00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:36.480
 himself

00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:38.559
 present amongst us

00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:41.059
 now

00:22:41.059 --> 00:22:45.440
 let's just be very frank

00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:46.879
 if this is true

00:22:46.879 --> 00:22:47.740
 if it really happened

00:22:47.740 --> 00:22:49.220
 the world is very different

00:22:49.220 --> 00:22:50.559
 I've said this before

00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:51.799
 but we can't say it enough

00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:54.099
 if this actually happened

00:22:54.099 --> 00:22:55.359
 the world is very different

00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:56.000
 than the world

00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:57.359
 presented by CBC

00:22:57.359 --> 00:22:58.119
 CTV

00:22:58.119 --> 00:22:59.099
 Global News

00:22:59.099 --> 00:23:00.879
 the Supreme Court of Canada

00:23:00.879 --> 00:23:05.719
 the Prime Minister's office

00:23:05.719 --> 00:23:08.679
 the office of the official opposition

00:23:08.679 --> 00:23:09.439
 and the NDP

00:23:09.439 --> 00:23:10.439
 and the Green Party

00:23:10.439 --> 00:23:11.779
 and the Bloc Québécois

00:23:11.779 --> 00:23:14.000
 the official view

00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:14.759
 of the academy

00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:15.839
 if this is actually

00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:17.079
 if this actually happened

00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:18.559
 the world is very different

00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:23.099
 than the way we're being told it is

00:23:23.099 --> 00:23:29.839
 and if you think about it

00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:30.339
 for a second

00:23:30.339 --> 00:23:32.339
 we have all of these clues

00:23:32.339 --> 00:23:35.480
 even within literature

00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:37.079
 and even within those realms

00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:37.659
 of discourse

00:23:37.659 --> 00:23:39.319
 we have all of these clues

00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:42.359
 that what they talk about

00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:43.500
 isn't actually

00:23:43.500 --> 00:23:47.039
 you know it's a little bit like

00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:48.719
 it's a little bit like

00:23:48.719 --> 00:23:50.799
 if you go to some sources

00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:51.859
 that are a bit skeptical

00:23:51.859 --> 00:23:53.059
 about mass mandates

00:23:53.059 --> 00:23:53.500
 and stuff

00:23:53.500 --> 00:23:54.019
 one of the things

00:23:54.019 --> 00:23:54.879
 they love doing

00:23:54.879 --> 00:23:56.599
 they love doing

00:23:56.599 --> 00:23:57.740
 is taking

00:23:57.740 --> 00:23:59.039
 like there's a little while ago

00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:00.759
 the Democratic Caucus

00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:01.699
 was about to make

00:24:01.699 --> 00:24:02.399
 some announcement

00:24:02.399 --> 00:24:03.479
 they didn't realize

00:24:03.479 --> 00:24:03.979
 there was somebody

00:24:03.979 --> 00:24:04.899
 taking a picture

00:24:04.899 --> 00:24:06.500
 and they took a picture of it

00:24:06.500 --> 00:24:08.019
 one minute before the announcement

00:24:08.019 --> 00:24:09.319
 and the minute before the announcement

00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:10.819
 none of them were wearing masks

00:24:10.819 --> 00:24:13.279
 but in the official picture

00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:14.879
 they're all wearing masks

00:24:14.879 --> 00:24:18.319
 right

00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:20.479
 like it's a bit of a sign

00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:21.539
 that they don't really believe

00:24:21.539 --> 00:24:22.960
 what they say about masks

00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:23.299
 right

00:24:23.299 --> 00:24:23.819
 just as

00:24:23.819 --> 00:24:25.400
 sorry I have to stop

00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:25.819
 okay

00:24:25.819 --> 00:24:28.500
 just stop George

00:24:28.500 --> 00:24:32.079
 by the way

00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:33.460
 this is a human problem

00:24:33.460 --> 00:24:33.799
 okay

00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:35.380
 it's not a political problem

00:24:35.380 --> 00:24:36.319
 it's a human problem

00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:37.599
 we all talk one thing

00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:38.360
 and do different things

00:24:38.360 --> 00:24:39.360
 it's a human problem

00:24:39.360 --> 00:24:39.720
 right

00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:40.920
 human problem

00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:42.160
 not political

00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:44.380
 but what I'm saying as

00:24:44.380 --> 00:24:44.779
 is that

00:24:44.779 --> 00:24:45.700
 even in the world

00:24:45.700 --> 00:24:46.579
 that talks about

00:24:46.579 --> 00:24:47.839
 at rapidly secular

00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:49.179
 that there is no higher meaning

00:24:49.179 --> 00:24:50.079
 and just as I said

00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:51.619
 it's hard for politicians

00:24:51.619 --> 00:24:53.179
 to not want to try to add

00:24:53.179 --> 00:24:54.500
 as if there's a higher meaning

00:24:54.500 --> 00:24:56.619
 same it is actually with us

00:24:56.619 --> 00:24:58.319
 like the fact of the matter is

00:24:58.319 --> 00:24:59.299
 is that the idea

00:24:59.299 --> 00:24:59.919
 that the world

00:24:59.919 --> 00:25:01.299
 is completely and utterly

00:25:01.299 --> 00:25:02.759
 devoid of meaning

00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:04.240
 that in fact

00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:05.159
 all that happens

00:25:05.159 --> 00:25:05.859
 is that

00:25:05.859 --> 00:25:06.399
 you know

00:25:06.399 --> 00:25:07.500
 we just sort of pretend

00:25:07.500 --> 00:25:08.519
 that there's some meaning

00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:09.679
 because if you pretend

00:25:09.679 --> 00:25:10.480
 there's some meaning

00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:12.019
 then it's easier to live life

00:25:12.019 --> 00:25:14.059
 that you don't really think

00:25:14.059 --> 00:25:14.839
 that there's some type

00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:15.480
 of a meaning

00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:16.939
 which is greater than you

00:25:16.940 --> 00:25:18.340
 and separate from you

00:25:18.340 --> 00:25:19.259
 that there's actually

00:25:19.259 --> 00:25:19.920
 what happens

00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:20.740
 if you notice

00:25:20.740 --> 00:25:22.160
 if you look

00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:25.059
 at a very very elderly woman

00:25:25.059 --> 00:25:26.860
 smiling with all their wrinkles

00:25:26.860 --> 00:25:27.519
 and you think

00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:28.240
 that there's something

00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:29.559
 beautiful about that

00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:31.039
 and something wonderful

00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:31.660
 about that

00:25:31.660 --> 00:25:32.700
 it's not just something

00:25:32.700 --> 00:25:34.259
 you've put on her

00:25:34.259 --> 00:25:35.460
 but that you're actually

00:25:35.460 --> 00:25:36.940
 recognizing something

00:25:36.940 --> 00:25:37.519
 that's real

00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:38.460
 that if you hear

00:25:38.460 --> 00:25:40.299
 a spectacularly beautiful

00:25:40.299 --> 00:25:41.299
 piece of music

00:25:41.299 --> 00:25:43.440
 that just deeply moves you

00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:44.240
 it's not just

00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:45.100
 that you've created

00:25:45.100 --> 00:25:46.200
 some type of emotion

00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:47.019
 to put on that

00:25:47.019 --> 00:25:48.059
 but you have a sense

00:25:48.059 --> 00:25:49.860
 that you're recognizing

00:25:49.860 --> 00:25:51.500
 something which is real

00:25:51.500 --> 00:25:52.279
 that if you see

00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:53.500
 a beautiful sunset

00:25:53.500 --> 00:25:54.500
 you know

00:25:54.500 --> 00:25:55.700
 if you're off in the Rockies

00:25:55.700 --> 00:25:56.559
 and you see a sunset

00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:57.620
 you see the Rockies

00:25:57.620 --> 00:25:58.400
 you see the ocean

00:25:58.400 --> 00:25:59.319
 and you just

00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:00.700
 your heart is just filled

00:26:00.700 --> 00:26:02.039
 that there's something there

00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:03.299
 which is just wonderful

00:26:03.299 --> 00:26:04.380
 and if somebody says

00:26:04.380 --> 00:26:05.519
 no you're just putting that

00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:05.940
 on that

00:26:05.940 --> 00:26:07.100
 but hard of you know

00:26:07.100 --> 00:26:07.920
 that there's a clue

00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:08.860
 that you're not just

00:26:08.860 --> 00:26:09.779
 putting that on that

00:26:09.779 --> 00:26:11.279
 you recognize something

00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:12.220
 which is there

00:26:12.220 --> 00:26:13.740
 which is separate from you

00:26:13.740 --> 00:26:14.819
 that you say

00:26:14.819 --> 00:26:15.980
 it doesn't matter

00:26:15.980 --> 00:26:16.920
 if you're a Muslim

00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:17.559
 a Buddhist

00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:18.319
 an atheist

00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:19.359
 it doesn't matter

00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:20.200
 if you're gay

00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:20.819
 or straight

00:26:20.819 --> 00:26:21.920
 you should think

00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:23.279
 that that is beautiful

00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:28.420
 and so we see

00:26:28.420 --> 00:26:29.160
 these clues

00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:29.940
 that there is a

00:26:29.940 --> 00:26:30.900
 there's a beauty

00:26:30.900 --> 00:26:31.640
 that there's a

00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:32.420
 a meaning

00:26:32.420 --> 00:26:33.059
 that there's a

00:26:33.059 --> 00:26:34.299
 a type of glory

00:26:34.299 --> 00:26:35.079
 that we don't

00:26:35.079 --> 00:26:36.359
 impose on the world

00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:37.500
 but that we recognize

00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:38.359
 on the world

00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:40.019
 and that if you do that

00:26:40.019 --> 00:26:41.160
 if you recognize that

00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:41.740
 that there's a bit

00:26:41.740 --> 00:26:42.140
 of a clue

00:26:42.140 --> 00:26:42.740
 it's a clue

00:26:42.740 --> 00:26:43.720
 that the Christian

00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:44.980
 side of the conversation

00:26:44.980 --> 00:26:45.839
 is the right side

00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:46.640
 of the conversation

00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:47.420
 to be on

00:26:47.420 --> 00:26:50.339
 Jesus has authority

00:26:50.339 --> 00:26:52.299
 if you have a sense

00:26:52.299 --> 00:26:54.059
 that there must be

00:26:54.059 --> 00:26:55.599
 meaning to life

00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:56.680
 that there must be

00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:59.700
 well if you have a sense

00:26:59.700 --> 00:27:00.259
 that gosh

00:27:00.259 --> 00:27:01.319
 it really is the case

00:27:01.319 --> 00:27:02.339
 it must be the case

00:27:02.339 --> 00:27:03.759
 it has to be the case

00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:05.240
 that love is stronger

00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:05.779
 and deeper

00:27:05.779 --> 00:27:06.660
 and more pure

00:27:06.660 --> 00:27:08.279
 and that which we should

00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:09.359
 choose over hatred

00:27:09.359 --> 00:27:12.500
 if you have this sense

00:27:12.500 --> 00:27:13.939
 that they're not just

00:27:13.939 --> 00:27:15.240
 two equal and opposed

00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:15.599
 things

00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:16.059
 you know

00:27:16.059 --> 00:27:16.959
 you can flip a coin

00:27:16.959 --> 00:27:17.479
 I'm going to choose

00:27:17.479 --> 00:27:17.779
 hatred

00:27:17.779 --> 00:27:18.459
 well I'm going to choose

00:27:18.459 --> 00:27:18.740
 love

00:27:18.740 --> 00:27:19.179
 I'm going to choose

00:27:19.179 --> 00:27:19.439
 hatred

00:27:19.439 --> 00:27:19.879
 I'm going to choose

00:27:19.879 --> 00:27:20.299
 love

00:27:20.299 --> 00:27:21.759
 but then no

00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:22.879
 no no no no no

00:27:22.879 --> 00:27:23.939
 you have to choose

00:27:23.939 --> 00:27:24.419
 love

00:27:24.419 --> 00:27:25.039
 there's something

00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:26.079
 deeper and truer

00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:26.719
 and realer

00:27:26.719 --> 00:27:27.359
 about love

00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:27.959
 than hatred

00:27:27.959 --> 00:27:29.219
 if you have this

00:27:29.219 --> 00:27:30.000
 sense that love

00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:30.639
 has to be

00:27:30.639 --> 00:27:31.639
 that life has to

00:27:31.639 --> 00:27:32.179
 be stronger

00:27:32.179 --> 00:27:32.919
 than death

00:27:32.919 --> 00:27:33.679
 that there's

00:27:33.679 --> 00:27:34.519
 something offensive

00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:35.139
 of death

00:27:35.139 --> 00:27:36.299
 that life and death

00:27:36.299 --> 00:27:37.159
 aren't equally

00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:38.880
 just merely natural

00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:40.560
 biological processes

00:27:40.560 --> 00:27:41.980
 that make no difference

00:27:41.980 --> 00:27:43.000
 except the fact

00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:43.860
 that we invest

00:27:43.860 --> 00:27:44.600
 some difference

00:27:44.600 --> 00:27:45.540
 and meaning to it

00:27:45.540 --> 00:27:46.540
 but that when we

00:27:46.540 --> 00:27:47.759
 recognize that life

00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:48.900
 has to be stronger

00:27:48.900 --> 00:27:49.460
 than death

00:27:49.460 --> 00:27:50.120
 that there's something

00:27:50.120 --> 00:27:51.100
 offensive with death

00:27:51.100 --> 00:27:51.960
 that we're not

00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:52.900
 creating that

00:27:52.900 --> 00:27:54.019
 imposing that

00:27:54.019 --> 00:27:55.360
 but we're recognizing

00:27:55.360 --> 00:27:56.860
 that that is a clue

00:27:56.860 --> 00:27:58.800
 that you should be

00:27:58.800 --> 00:27:59.560
 on the Christian side

00:27:59.560 --> 00:28:00.259
 of the conversation

00:28:00.259 --> 00:28:01.000
 on this issue

00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:08.680
 though what we see

00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:09.200
 in the person

00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:09.759
 of Jesus

00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:13.400
 who has authority

00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:14.200
 which is something

00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:15.019
 of the supernatural

00:28:15.019 --> 00:28:16.299
 and what he's doing

00:28:16.299 --> 00:28:17.019
 he's revealing

00:28:17.019 --> 00:28:17.940
 what that supernatural

00:28:17.940 --> 00:28:19.380
 reality is

00:28:19.380 --> 00:28:20.299
 that he's revealing

00:28:20.299 --> 00:28:21.220
 that in fact

00:28:21.220 --> 00:28:22.940
 health is what

00:28:22.940 --> 00:28:23.819
 we were made for

00:28:23.819 --> 00:28:25.220
 not sickness

00:28:25.220 --> 00:28:27.279
 clarity of mind

00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:27.799
 and heart

00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:29.019
 not being demonized

00:28:29.019 --> 00:28:30.220
 is what we were made for

00:28:30.220 --> 00:28:31.240
 that life is what

00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:31.940
 we were made for

00:28:31.940 --> 00:28:32.680
 not for death

00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:33.480
 that love is what

00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:34.220
 we were made for

00:28:34.220 --> 00:28:35.279
 not hatred

00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:36.700
 that justice is what

00:28:36.700 --> 00:28:37.460
 we were made for

00:28:37.460 --> 00:28:38.620
 not injustice

00:28:38.620 --> 00:28:41.079
 that compassion

00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:42.539
 is what we were made for

00:28:42.539 --> 00:28:45.120
 not oppression

00:28:45.120 --> 00:28:47.860
 and if you have a sense

00:28:47.860 --> 00:28:48.779
 that those things are true

00:28:48.779 --> 00:28:49.460
 then you are on the

00:28:49.460 --> 00:28:50.039
 Christian side

00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:50.720
 of the playing field

00:28:50.720 --> 00:28:51.500
 whether you recognize

00:28:51.500 --> 00:28:52.319
 it or not

00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:58.460
 in fact

00:28:58.460 --> 00:28:59.099
 you know even

00:28:59.099 --> 00:29:02.220
 you know

00:29:02.220 --> 00:29:04.019
 you know

00:29:04.019 --> 00:29:05.039
 secular scholars

00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:05.859
 mainly English

00:29:05.859 --> 00:29:07.079
 and European scholars

00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:07.980
 have been doing work

00:29:07.980 --> 00:29:08.639
 over the last

00:29:08.639 --> 00:29:09.480
 decade

00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:10.559
 to try to reveal

00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:13.200
 these are secular thinkers

00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:14.679
 coming to an understanding

00:29:14.679 --> 00:29:15.759
 that a lot of the stuff

00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:16.279
 that we think

00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:17.220
 is just reason

00:29:17.220 --> 00:29:18.139
 and is just

00:29:18.139 --> 00:29:19.399
 secular reason

00:29:19.399 --> 00:29:19.939
 in fact

00:29:19.939 --> 00:29:21.240
 comes from Christianity

00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:23.859
 because you see

00:29:23.859 --> 00:29:24.680
 you think about it

00:29:24.680 --> 00:29:25.259
 for a second

00:29:25.259 --> 00:29:27.059
 here we have

00:29:27.059 --> 00:29:28.000
 authority itself

00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:28.680
 in the room

00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:30.099
 and authority

00:29:30.099 --> 00:29:30.640
 in itself

00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:31.220
 in a room

00:29:31.220 --> 00:29:32.140
 is confronted

00:29:32.140 --> 00:29:33.859
 by a demonized man

00:29:33.859 --> 00:29:36.620
 and when authority

00:29:36.620 --> 00:29:37.740
 itself is in the room

00:29:37.740 --> 00:29:38.539
 confronted with

00:29:38.539 --> 00:29:39.779
 a demonized man

00:29:39.779 --> 00:29:41.319
 authority

00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:42.059
 uses

00:29:42.059 --> 00:29:43.460
 its authority

00:29:43.460 --> 00:29:44.359
 to heal

00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:44.859
 the man

00:29:44.859 --> 00:29:48.399
 and don't we all

00:29:48.399 --> 00:29:49.379
 have a sense

00:29:49.379 --> 00:29:52.179
 I mean

00:29:52.179 --> 00:29:52.959
 go back to that

00:29:52.959 --> 00:29:53.599
 mask thing

00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:54.019
 and you know

00:29:54.019 --> 00:29:54.579
 you can catch

00:29:54.579 --> 00:29:55.159
 you can catch

00:29:55.159 --> 00:29:56.459
 all the parties

00:29:56.459 --> 00:29:56.779
 do it

00:29:56.779 --> 00:29:56.959
 okay

00:29:56.959 --> 00:29:57.740
 I'm not making

00:29:57.740 --> 00:29:58.319
 any political

00:29:58.319 --> 00:29:59.199
 I really am not

00:29:59.199 --> 00:29:59.839
 making a political

00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:00.779
 point about this

00:30:00.779 --> 00:30:02.519
 I really am not

00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:03.240
 it's a human

00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:03.799
 problem

00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:04.159
 right

00:30:04.159 --> 00:30:06.579
 but where does

00:30:06.579 --> 00:30:07.579
 that inclination

00:30:07.579 --> 00:30:08.859
 and that insight

00:30:08.859 --> 00:30:10.159
 that moral insight

00:30:10.159 --> 00:30:10.879
 come from

00:30:10.879 --> 00:30:12.240
 in secular society

00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:13.819
 that people in

00:30:13.819 --> 00:30:15.039
 positions of power

00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:16.380
 and authority

00:30:16.380 --> 00:30:17.740
 that they should

00:30:17.740 --> 00:30:18.799
 use it for good

00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:19.880
 not for bad

00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:21.200
 they should act

00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:21.980
 with some type

00:30:21.980 --> 00:30:22.660
 of sympathy

00:30:22.660 --> 00:30:23.460
 for the weak

00:30:23.460 --> 00:30:25.160
 and not oppress

00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:25.680
 the weak

00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:27.880
 like where does

00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:28.420
 that insight

00:30:28.420 --> 00:30:29.099
 come from

00:30:29.099 --> 00:30:30.660
 in the Hindu

00:30:30.660 --> 00:30:31.240
 and Buddhist

00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:31.900
 mythology

00:30:31.900 --> 00:30:32.799
 there's caste

00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:33.319
 you deserve

00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:34.059
 that caste

00:30:34.059 --> 00:30:34.500
 that's why

00:30:34.500 --> 00:30:35.039
 people like

00:30:35.039 --> 00:30:35.579
 Mother Teresa

00:30:35.579 --> 00:30:36.579
 were so radical

00:30:36.579 --> 00:30:39.539
 like they deserve

00:30:39.539 --> 00:30:40.120
 that

00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:41.539
 they earned

00:30:41.539 --> 00:30:42.399
 that status

00:30:42.399 --> 00:30:43.419
 no for Christians

00:30:43.419 --> 00:30:44.219
 they don't earn

00:30:44.219 --> 00:30:45.119
 that status

00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:47.279
 human beings

00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:47.959
 have dignity

00:30:47.959 --> 00:30:48.679
 and worth

00:30:48.679 --> 00:30:50.059
 and don't you

00:30:50.059 --> 00:30:51.039
 have that sense

00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:52.099
 that authority

00:30:52.099 --> 00:30:52.919
 real authority

00:30:52.919 --> 00:30:53.699
 real power

00:30:53.699 --> 00:30:54.479
 should have some

00:30:54.479 --> 00:30:55.359
 degree of love

00:30:55.359 --> 00:30:56.119
 and compassion

00:30:56.119 --> 00:30:56.639
 in it

00:30:56.639 --> 00:30:57.819
 that that's what

00:30:57.819 --> 00:30:58.699
 it's really designed

00:30:58.699 --> 00:30:59.099
 for

00:30:59.099 --> 00:31:03.519
 you look at

00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:04.619
 atheistic states

00:31:04.619 --> 00:31:05.679
 that's not

00:31:05.679 --> 00:31:06.500
 necessarily there

00:31:06.500 --> 00:31:07.179
 it comes from

00:31:07.179 --> 00:31:07.739
 the Bible

00:31:07.740 --> 00:31:09.720
 it comes from

00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:10.519
 being formed

00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:11.799
 by stories

00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:12.599
 like this

00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:14.500
 that we have

00:31:14.500 --> 00:31:15.140
 this sense

00:31:15.140 --> 00:31:15.960
 it's not something

00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:16.559
 that emerged

00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:17.480
 just from purely

00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:17.819
 secular

00:31:17.819 --> 00:31:18.920
 like read Nietzsche

00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:19.720
 Nietzsche doesn't

00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:20.200
 say that

00:31:20.200 --> 00:31:20.819
 Nietzsche would

00:31:20.819 --> 00:31:22.240
 scoff at people

00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:22.819
 who say that

00:31:22.819 --> 00:31:23.460
 they'd just say

00:31:23.460 --> 00:31:24.380
 he'd say you're

00:31:24.380 --> 00:31:24.819
 Christians

00:31:24.819 --> 00:31:26.019
 and for him

00:31:26.019 --> 00:31:26.460
 to say that

00:31:26.460 --> 00:31:26.880
 it means you're

00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:27.240
 stupid

00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:31.200
 and so even

00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:31.720
 so much

00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:32.420
 of the secular

00:31:32.420 --> 00:31:33.000
 world

00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:33.700
 that rejects

00:31:33.700 --> 00:31:34.160
 the Christian

00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:34.539
 faith

00:31:34.539 --> 00:31:35.279
 is in fact

00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:36.940
 living off

00:31:36.940 --> 00:31:37.960
 of the fumes

00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:39.139
 the residue

00:31:39.139 --> 00:31:40.680
 of this

00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:41.379
 formation

00:31:41.379 --> 00:31:42.099
 that's come

00:31:42.099 --> 00:31:42.859
 from stories

00:31:42.859 --> 00:31:43.420
 like this

00:31:43.420 --> 00:31:43.839
 about the

00:31:43.839 --> 00:31:44.680
 proper exercise

00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:45.480
 of authority

00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:48.519
 but there's

00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:49.059
 more to this

00:31:49.059 --> 00:31:49.759
 story than that

00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:50.240
 and if I don't

00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:50.720
 get to the other

00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:51.559
 stories that's

00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:51.879
 fine

00:31:51.879 --> 00:31:53.299
 this is sort

00:31:53.299 --> 00:31:53.859
 of woven

00:31:53.859 --> 00:31:54.279
 all the way

00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:54.799
 through the rest

00:31:54.799 --> 00:31:55.160
 of them

00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:56.700
 actually you know

00:31:56.700 --> 00:31:57.339
 what a cute

00:31:57.339 --> 00:31:57.940
 thing let's

00:31:57.940 --> 00:31:58.759
 just jump ahead

00:31:58.759 --> 00:31:59.940
 this is really

00:31:59.940 --> 00:32:00.700
 really key

00:32:00.700 --> 00:32:01.339
 in terms of

00:32:01.339 --> 00:32:02.359
 how power works

00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:02.639
 and everything

00:32:02.639 --> 00:32:02.920
 like that

00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:03.220
 because that's

00:32:03.220 --> 00:32:03.500
 one of the

00:32:03.500 --> 00:32:04.019
 things which is

00:32:04.019 --> 00:32:04.599
 so important

00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:05.019
 to this story

00:32:05.019 --> 00:32:05.980
 just keep

00:32:05.980 --> 00:32:06.240
 reading

00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:07.039
 verse 29

00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:09.259
 and immediately

00:32:09.259 --> 00:32:09.960
 he left the

00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:10.259
 synagogue

00:32:10.259 --> 00:32:10.839
 and entered

00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:11.200
 the house

00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:11.660
 of Simon

00:32:11.660 --> 00:32:12.119
 and Andrew

00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:12.639
 with James

00:32:12.639 --> 00:32:13.099
 and John

00:32:13.099 --> 00:32:14.740
 now verse 30

00:32:14.740 --> 00:32:16.000
 Simon's mother-in-law

00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:17.059
 lay ill with a fever

00:32:17.059 --> 00:32:17.680
 and immediately

00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:18.500
 they told him

00:32:18.500 --> 00:32:19.039
 about her

00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:20.299
 and he came

00:32:20.299 --> 00:32:20.740
 and took her

00:32:20.740 --> 00:32:21.220
 by the hand

00:32:21.220 --> 00:32:21.720
 and lifted her

00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:22.279
 up and the fever

00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:22.779
 left her

00:32:22.779 --> 00:32:23.460
 and she began

00:32:23.460 --> 00:32:24.000
 to serve him

00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:24.539
 notice that

00:32:24.539 --> 00:32:26.759
 he doesn't pray

00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:28.079
 he doesn't give her

00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:28.339
 medicine

00:32:28.339 --> 00:32:29.000
 he just takes her

00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:29.480
 hand and she's

00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:29.779
 healed

00:32:29.779 --> 00:32:34.519
 who's Jesus

00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:35.539
 it's been revealed

00:32:35.539 --> 00:32:36.240
 that he's not

00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:36.839
 like what is

00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:37.480
 this supernatural

00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:38.279
 authority

00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:38.819
 what is this

00:32:38.819 --> 00:32:39.599
 divine authority

00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:40.480
 the divine authority

00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:40.879
 is the one

00:32:40.879 --> 00:32:41.420
 that frees you

00:32:41.420 --> 00:32:42.099
 from the demonic

00:32:42.099 --> 00:32:43.099
 what is the

00:32:43.099 --> 00:32:43.940
 divine authority

00:32:43.940 --> 00:32:44.759
 divine authority

00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:45.420
 is properly

00:32:45.420 --> 00:32:45.960
 to restore

00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:46.720
 human beings

00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:47.819
 to a proper

00:32:47.819 --> 00:32:48.480
 freedom and

00:32:48.480 --> 00:32:49.160
 control of their

00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:49.759
 faculties

00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:50.420
 it's to deliver

00:32:50.420 --> 00:32:50.819
 you from

00:32:50.819 --> 00:32:51.519
 sickness

00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:52.539
 that you may

00:32:52.539 --> 00:32:53.019
 be whole

00:32:53.019 --> 00:32:55.099
 but look

00:32:55.099 --> 00:32:55.599
 it gets really

00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:55.799
 cool

00:32:55.799 --> 00:32:56.539
 it's something

00:32:56.539 --> 00:32:57.559
 it's only in

00:32:57.559 --> 00:32:57.900
 the original

00:32:57.900 --> 00:32:58.279
 language

00:32:58.279 --> 00:32:58.879
 you can't see

00:32:58.879 --> 00:32:59.339
 it in the

00:32:59.339 --> 00:32:59.619
 English

00:32:59.619 --> 00:33:00.339
 that evening

00:33:00.339 --> 00:33:00.959
 at sundown

00:33:00.959 --> 00:33:01.319
 they brought

00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:01.599
 to him

00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:01.979
 all who

00:33:01.979 --> 00:33:02.339
 were sick

00:33:02.339 --> 00:33:02.759
 or oppressed

00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:03.379
 by demons

00:33:03.379 --> 00:33:04.239
 and the whole

00:33:04.239 --> 00:33:04.559
 city

00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:05.359
 was gathered

00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:05.779
 together

00:33:05.779 --> 00:33:06.679
 at the door

00:33:06.679 --> 00:33:07.479
 and he healed

00:33:07.479 --> 00:33:07.959
 the many

00:33:07.959 --> 00:33:08.939
 okay

00:33:08.939 --> 00:33:09.759
 in a literally

00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:10.000
 way

00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:10.439
 and he healed

00:33:10.439 --> 00:33:10.839
 the many

00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:11.399
 who were sick

00:33:11.399 --> 00:33:11.879
 with various

00:33:11.879 --> 00:33:12.299
 diseases

00:33:12.299 --> 00:33:12.959
 and cast out

00:33:12.959 --> 00:33:13.539
 many demons

00:33:13.539 --> 00:33:13.919
 and he would

00:33:13.919 --> 00:33:14.379
 not permit

00:33:14.379 --> 00:33:14.879
 the demons

00:33:14.879 --> 00:33:15.399
 to speak

00:33:15.399 --> 00:33:15.819
 because they

00:33:15.819 --> 00:33:16.079
 knew him

00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:16.719
 but that verse

00:33:16.719 --> 00:33:17.039
 34

00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:17.339
 and he healed

00:33:17.339 --> 00:33:17.619
 the many

00:33:17.619 --> 00:33:18.799
 in the original

00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:19.159
 language

00:33:19.159 --> 00:33:19.359
 you know

00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:19.799
 what that word

00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:20.099
 is

00:33:20.099 --> 00:33:20.879
 some of you

00:33:20.879 --> 00:33:21.179
 don't know

00:33:21.179 --> 00:33:21.619
 this word

00:33:21.619 --> 00:33:22.119
 because it's

00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:23.219
 but it's

00:33:23.219 --> 00:33:23.979
 hoi polloi

00:33:23.979 --> 00:33:26.239
 you know

 circles

00:33:27.419 --> 00:33:28.119
 it'll talk about

00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:28.859
 the hoi polloi

00:33:29.619 --> 00:33:31.139
 are people

00:33:31.139 --> 00:33:31.479
 who work

00:33:31.479 --> 00:33:32.559
 at Tim Hortons

00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:34.919
 it's

00:33:34.919 --> 00:33:35.259
 the

00:33:35.259 --> 00:33:36.000

 it's the common

00:33:37.399 --> 00:33:38.099
 people

00:33:38.099 --> 00:33:38.859
 who don't

00:33:38.859 --> 00:33:39.539
 really know

00:33:39.539 --> 00:33:40.399
 or understand

 anything

00:33:41.639 --> 00:33:42.819
 and who does

00:33:42.819 --> 00:33:43.579
 Jesus heal

00:33:43.579 --> 00:33:44.779
 the hoi polloi

00:33:44.779 --> 00:33:47.259
 the many

00:33:47.259 --> 00:33:50.659
 but you see

00:33:50.659 --> 00:33:51.159
 here's

00:33:51.159 --> 00:33:51.500
 here's

00:33:51.500 --> 00:33:52.019
 a couple

00:33:52.019 --> 00:33:52.299
 of things

00:33:52.299 --> 00:33:52.819
 which are so

00:33:52.819 --> 00:33:53.219
 important

00:33:53.219 --> 00:33:53.679
 about this

00:33:53.679 --> 00:33:54.619
 particular story

00:33:54.619 --> 00:33:55.059
 you see

00:33:55.059 --> 00:33:56.319
 what is it

00:33:56.319 --> 00:33:58.059
 that's being

00:33:58.059 --> 00:33:58.500
 revealed

00:33:58.500 --> 00:33:58.939
 in this

00:33:58.940 --> 00:33:59.340
 type of

00:33:59.340 --> 00:33:59.720
 story

00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:01.080
 and the

00:34:01.080 --> 00:34:01.420
 story

00:34:01.420 --> 00:34:02.519
 is shaping

00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:02.880
 us to

00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:03.460
 understand

00:34:03.460 --> 00:34:03.720
 that

00:34:03.720 --> 00:34:04.460
 true

00:34:04.460 --> 00:34:05.039
 authority

00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:05.360
 real

00:34:05.360 --> 00:34:05.820
 authority

00:34:05.820 --> 00:34:06.240
 authority

00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:06.660
 which is

00:34:06.660 --> 00:34:07.000
 connected

00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:07.380
 to the

00:34:07.380 --> 00:34:07.779
 divine

00:34:07.779 --> 00:34:08.159
 should be

00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:08.720
 an authority

00:34:08.720 --> 00:34:09.280
 which works

00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:09.920
 for healing

00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:10.700
 for freedom

00:34:10.700 --> 00:34:12.760
 for deliverance

00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:14.059
 for justice

00:34:14.059 --> 00:34:14.700
 that that's

00:34:14.700 --> 00:34:15.099
 in fact

00:34:15.099 --> 00:34:15.760
 what real

00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:16.619
 authority

00:34:16.619 --> 00:34:17.740
 that's what

00:34:17.740 --> 00:34:18.460
 God is

00:34:18.460 --> 00:34:18.940
 ultimately

00:34:18.940 --> 00:34:19.539
 really like

00:34:19.539 --> 00:34:20.079
 and it's

00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:20.360
 even

00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:21.400
 it's

00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:21.860
 shown in

00:34:21.860 --> 00:34:22.300
 the fact

00:34:22.300 --> 00:34:23.320
 that

00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:23.640
 that

00:34:23.640 --> 00:34:34.340
 the beginning

00:34:34.340 --> 00:34:34.740
 of the

00:34:34.740 --> 00:34:35.500
 whole thing

00:34:35.500 --> 00:34:36.039
 it says

00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:36.720
 remember

00:34:36.720 --> 00:34:37.760
 that all

00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:38.039
 of the

00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:38.760
 gospel of

00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:38.920
 Mark

00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:39.180
 can be

00:34:39.180 --> 00:34:39.500
 understood

00:34:39.500 --> 00:34:40.059
 as the

00:34:40.059 --> 00:34:40.460
 time is

00:34:40.460 --> 00:34:40.880
 fulfilled

00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:41.740
 the kingdom

00:34:41.740 --> 00:34:42.059
 of God

00:34:42.059 --> 00:34:42.340
 is at

00:34:42.340 --> 00:34:42.680
 hand

00:34:42.680 --> 00:34:43.380
 repent

00:34:43.380 --> 00:34:44.320
 and believe

00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:44.900
 the gospel

00:34:44.900 --> 00:34:46.539
 and so

00:34:46.539 --> 00:34:47.440
 that actually

00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:47.980
 there's a

00:34:47.980 --> 00:34:48.320
 riddle

00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:49.260
 in there

00:34:49.260 --> 00:34:50.440
 like what

00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:50.760
 is the

00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:51.099
 kingdom

00:34:51.099 --> 00:34:53.579
 who is

00:34:53.579 --> 00:34:54.019
 the kingdom

00:34:54.019 --> 00:34:54.360
 how do

00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:54.559
 you get

00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:54.760
 in

00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:56.599
 and what

00:34:56.599 --> 00:34:57.180
 this entire

00:34:57.180 --> 00:34:57.760
 story

00:34:57.760 --> 00:34:58.300
 from these

00:34:58.300 --> 00:34:58.619
 texts

00:34:58.619 --> 00:34:59.119
 on

00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:00.579
 in terms

00:35:00.579 --> 00:35:00.900
 of how

00:35:00.900 --> 00:35:01.260
 Jesus

00:35:01.260 --> 00:35:01.599
 deals

00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:01.980
 with the

00:35:01.980 --> 00:35:02.240
 sick

00:35:02.240 --> 00:35:02.559
 how he

00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:02.760
 deals

00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:03.019
 with the

00:35:03.019 --> 00:35:03.220
 hoi

00:35:03.220 --> 00:35:03.720
 polloi

00:35:03.720 --> 00:35:04.180
 how he

00:35:04.180 --> 00:35:04.440
 deals

00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:04.780
 with the

00:35:04.780 --> 00:35:05.400
 demonized

00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:06.220
 I'm not

00:35:06.220 --> 00:35:06.400
 going to

00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:06.780
 maybe have

00:35:06.780 --> 00:35:07.139
 time to

00:35:07.139 --> 00:35:07.440
 look at

00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:07.519
 it

00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:07.760
 but how

00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:08.000
 does he

00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:08.160
 deal

00:35:08.160 --> 00:35:08.500
 with the

00:35:08.500 --> 00:35:08.820
 leper

00:35:08.820 --> 00:35:09.059
 the

00:35:09.059 --> 00:35:09.400
 social

00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:10.000
 outcast

00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:10.360
 how does

00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:10.700
 he deal

00:35:10.700 --> 00:35:11.099
 with them

00:35:11.099 --> 00:35:11.960
 the kings

00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:12.240
 of the

00:35:12.240 --> 00:35:12.460
 earth

00:35:12.460 --> 00:35:13.099
 send people

00:35:13.099 --> 00:35:13.619
 out to

00:35:13.619 --> 00:35:14.059
 die

00:35:14.059 --> 00:35:15.239
 so they

00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:15.779
 will receive

00:35:15.779 --> 00:35:16.219
 glory

00:35:16.219 --> 00:35:17.860
 but what

00:35:17.860 --> 00:35:18.279
 we see

00:35:18.279 --> 00:35:18.900
 here is

00:35:18.900 --> 00:35:19.360
 that Jesus

00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:20.259
 loves

00:35:20.259 --> 00:35:21.279
 people

00:35:21.279 --> 00:35:22.659
 and dies

00:35:22.659 --> 00:35:23.380
 for people

00:35:23.380 --> 00:35:24.840
 for their

00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:25.219
 glory

00:35:25.219 --> 00:35:29.179
 it's a

00:35:29.179 --> 00:35:29.579
 complete

00:35:29.579 --> 00:35:30.199
 reversal

00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:32.219
 of the

00:35:32.219 --> 00:35:32.699
 general

00:35:32.699 --> 00:35:33.299
 pagan

00:35:33.299 --> 00:35:35.019
 and religious

00:35:35.019 --> 00:35:36.179
 understanding

00:35:36.179 --> 00:35:36.619
 of how

00:35:36.619 --> 00:35:37.139
 authority

00:35:37.139 --> 00:35:37.559
 is to

00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:37.960
 work

00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:39.759
 you see

00:35:39.759 --> 00:35:40.199
 the fact

00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:40.679
 is

00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:41.579
 that when

00:35:41.579 --> 00:35:41.940
 Jesus

00:35:41.940 --> 00:35:42.500
 says

00:35:42.500 --> 00:35:43.679
 the time

00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:44.219
 is fulfilled

00:35:44.219 --> 00:35:44.659
 the kingdom

00:35:44.659 --> 00:35:45.019
 of God

00:35:45.019 --> 00:35:45.319
 is at

00:35:45.319 --> 00:35:45.599
 hand

00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:45.899
 repent

00:35:45.899 --> 00:35:46.419
 and believe

00:35:46.419 --> 00:35:46.960
 the gospel

00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:48.000
 there are

00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:48.519
 in a sense

00:35:48.519 --> 00:35:49.279
 on one

00:35:49.279 --> 00:35:49.619
 level

00:35:49.619 --> 00:35:49.899
 there's

00:35:49.899 --> 00:35:50.159
 nobody

00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:50.500
 in that

00:35:50.500 --> 00:35:50.839
 kingdom

00:35:50.839 --> 00:35:51.359
 right now

00:35:51.359 --> 00:35:51.719
 on one

00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:52.019
 level

00:35:52.019 --> 00:35:52.539
 you don't

00:35:52.539 --> 00:35:52.779
 want to

00:35:52.779 --> 00:35:53.039
 get into

00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:53.219
 old

00:35:53.219 --> 00:35:53.559
 testament

00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:53.899
 saints

00:35:53.899 --> 00:35:54.139
 and all

00:35:54.139 --> 00:35:54.299
 that

00:35:54.299 --> 00:35:54.599
 but on

00:35:54.599 --> 00:35:54.759
 one

00:35:54.759 --> 00:35:55.019
 level

00:35:55.019 --> 00:35:55.899
 the new

00:35:55.899 --> 00:35:56.239
 kingdom

00:35:56.239 --> 00:35:56.759
 hasn't been

00:35:56.759 --> 00:35:57.379
 inaugurated

00:35:57.379 --> 00:35:57.559
 yet

00:35:57.559 --> 00:35:57.899
 it's not

00:35:57.899 --> 00:35:58.480
 inaugurated

00:35:58.480 --> 00:35:58.859
 until he

00:35:58.859 --> 00:35:59.079
 dies

00:35:59.079 --> 00:35:59.460
 upon the

00:35:59.460 --> 00:35:59.719
 cross

00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:00.139
 and rises

00:36:00.139 --> 00:36:00.559
 from the

00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:00.819
 dead

00:36:00.819 --> 00:36:02.719
 and in

00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:03.259
 the kingdoms

00:36:03.259 --> 00:36:03.679
 of the

00:36:03.679 --> 00:36:04.059
 world

00:36:04.059 --> 00:36:04.719
 the king

00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:05.259
 sends

00:36:05.259 --> 00:36:05.839
 soldiers

00:36:05.839 --> 00:36:06.319
 out to

00:36:06.319 --> 00:36:06.579
 die

00:36:06.579 --> 00:36:06.980
 for their

00:36:06.980 --> 00:36:07.480
 glory

00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:09.599
 in

00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:09.940
 Jesus'

00:36:10.219 --> 00:36:10.500
 case

00:36:10.500 --> 00:36:10.899
 he will

00:36:10.899 --> 00:36:11.399
 die

00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:12.320
 for people

00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:14.579
 so that

00:36:14.579 --> 00:36:14.840
 they will

00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:15.360
 be free

00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:16.800
 and be

00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:17.119
 part of

00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:17.260
 his

00:36:17.260 --> 00:36:17.599
 kingdom

00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:19.139
 he dies

00:36:19.139 --> 00:36:20.460
 to create

00:36:20.460 --> 00:36:21.180
 citizens

00:36:21.180 --> 00:36:22.440
 who are

00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:22.940
 freed up

00:36:22.940 --> 00:36:23.300
 by his

00:36:23.300 --> 00:36:23.579
 grace

00:36:23.579 --> 00:36:23.880
 to be

00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:24.180
 part of

00:36:24.180 --> 00:36:24.340
 his

00:36:24.340 --> 00:36:24.639
 kingdom

00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:28.039
 we also

00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:28.579
 see something

00:36:28.579 --> 00:36:29.039
 else which

00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:29.380
 is really

00:36:29.380 --> 00:36:29.980
 important in

00:36:29.980 --> 00:36:30.599
 this particular

00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:31.220
 story

00:36:31.220 --> 00:36:33.099
 one of the

00:36:33.099 --> 00:36:33.460
 things that

00:36:33.460 --> 00:36:33.980
 Mark does

00:36:33.980 --> 00:36:34.240
 at a

00:36:34.240 --> 00:36:34.500
 literary

00:36:34.500 --> 00:36:34.860
 level

00:36:34.860 --> 00:36:35.260
 which is

00:36:35.260 --> 00:36:35.500
 very

00:36:35.500 --> 00:36:36.059
 interesting

00:36:36.059 --> 00:36:36.280
 in the

00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:36.460
 first

00:36:36.460 --> 00:36:36.720
 couple

00:36:36.720 --> 00:36:36.880
 of

00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:37.300
 chapters

00:36:37.300 --> 00:36:38.380
 and he

00:36:38.380 --> 00:36:38.619
 does it

00:36:38.619 --> 00:36:38.920
 in different

00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:39.320
 places

00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:39.960
 he doesn't

00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:40.599
 only do it

00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:41.420
 but people

00:36:41.420 --> 00:36:41.880
 will ask

00:36:41.880 --> 00:36:42.519
 a question

00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:44.880
 where does

00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:45.420
 his authority

00:36:45.420 --> 00:36:46.059
 come from

00:36:46.059 --> 00:36:47.519
 how can

00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:47.759
 he do

00:36:47.759 --> 00:36:48.059
 something

00:36:48.059 --> 00:36:48.719
 like that

00:36:48.719 --> 00:36:49.279
 and the

00:36:49.279 --> 00:36:49.659
 answer is

00:36:49.659 --> 00:36:50.019
 given by

00:36:50.019 --> 00:36:50.179
 the

00:36:50.179 --> 00:36:50.519
 demons

00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:54.099
 you think

00:36:54.099 --> 00:36:54.500
 about this

00:36:54.500 --> 00:36:54.900
 particular

00:36:54.900 --> 00:36:55.440
 story

00:36:55.440 --> 00:36:56.179
 you know

00:36:56.179 --> 00:36:56.940
 they're

00:36:56.940 --> 00:36:57.519
 astonished

00:36:57.519 --> 00:36:57.799
 at his

00:36:57.799 --> 00:36:58.319
 authority

00:36:58.319 --> 00:36:58.659
 and at

00:36:58.659 --> 00:36:59.039
 the end

00:36:59.039 --> 00:36:59.400
 they're

00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:00.000
 astonished

00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:00.219
 that he

00:37:00.219 --> 00:37:00.579
 could do

00:37:00.579 --> 00:37:00.799
 it

00:37:00.799 --> 00:37:01.860
 but the

00:37:01.860 --> 00:37:02.440
 answer is

00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:02.880
 given by

00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:03.360
 the demon

00:37:03.360 --> 00:37:03.799
 that he's

00:37:03.799 --> 00:37:04.119
 the holy

00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:04.440
 one of

00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:04.860
 God

00:37:04.860 --> 00:37:08.460
 now this

00:37:08.460 --> 00:37:09.159
 is profoundly

00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:09.900
 important for

00:37:09.900 --> 00:37:10.259
 us as

00:37:10.260 --> 00:37:10.640
 Christians

00:37:10.640 --> 00:37:11.080
 and for

00:37:11.080 --> 00:37:11.420
 those who

00:37:11.420 --> 00:37:11.780
 are outside

00:37:11.780 --> 00:37:12.280
 the Christian

00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:12.640
 faith

00:37:12.640 --> 00:37:13.180
 who might

00:37:13.180 --> 00:37:13.780
 be considering

00:37:13.780 --> 00:37:14.380
 becoming a

00:37:14.380 --> 00:37:14.700
 Christian

00:37:14.700 --> 00:37:17.540
 there's a

00:37:17.540 --> 00:37:18.180
 world

00:37:18.180 --> 00:37:19.120
 a universe

00:37:19.120 --> 00:37:20.660
 of difference

00:37:20.660 --> 00:37:21.660
 between saying

00:37:21.660 --> 00:37:22.580
 Jesus is

00:37:22.580 --> 00:37:23.160
 God

00:37:23.160 --> 00:37:23.740
 or saying

00:37:23.740 --> 00:37:24.720
 Jesus is a

00:37:24.720 --> 00:37:25.060
 savior

00:37:25.060 --> 00:37:25.680
 and saying

00:37:25.680 --> 00:37:26.320
 Jesus is

00:37:26.320 --> 00:37:27.060
 my savior

00:37:27.060 --> 00:37:28.900
 there is a

00:37:28.900 --> 00:37:29.880
 universe of

00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:30.380
 difference

00:37:30.380 --> 00:37:30.900
 it is as

00:37:30.900 --> 00:37:31.540
 different as

00:37:31.540 --> 00:37:32.140
 the east is

00:37:32.140 --> 00:37:32.740
 from the west

00:37:32.740 --> 00:37:33.360
 the north is

00:37:33.360 --> 00:37:33.940
 from the south

00:37:33.940 --> 00:37:34.400
 to say

00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:35.220
 that Jesus

00:37:35.220 --> 00:37:36.000
 is a savior

00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:36.400
 and say

00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:36.740
 that he is

00:37:36.740 --> 00:37:37.440
 my savior

00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:40.820
 that Jesus

00:37:40.820 --> 00:37:41.179
 is an

00:37:41.179 --> 00:37:41.679
 authority

00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:42.380
 and saying

00:37:42.380 --> 00:37:42.639
 he is

00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:42.920
 my

00:37:42.920 --> 00:37:43.380
 authority

00:37:43.380 --> 00:37:45.079
 see the

00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:45.500
 demons

00:37:45.500 --> 00:37:46.280
 can say

00:37:46.280 --> 00:37:46.820
 the first

00:37:46.820 --> 00:37:50.139
 but they're

00:37:50.139 --> 00:37:50.800
 still doomed

00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:52.220
 if you read

00:37:52.220 --> 00:37:52.639
 the book of

00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:53.079
 revelation

00:37:53.079 --> 00:37:53.539
 they will

00:37:53.539 --> 00:37:53.960
 eventually

00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:54.679
 be cast

00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:55.900
 into the

00:37:55.900 --> 00:37:56.260
 lake of

00:37:56.260 --> 00:37:56.659
 fire

00:37:56.659 --> 00:37:57.820
 for a

00:37:57.820 --> 00:37:58.039
 final

00:37:58.039 --> 00:37:58.780
 annihilation

00:37:58.780 --> 00:38:02.360
 but God

00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:03.080
 desires so

00:38:03.080 --> 00:38:03.640
 much more

00:38:03.640 --> 00:38:04.019
 for you

00:38:04.019 --> 00:38:04.460
 and me

00:38:04.460 --> 00:38:08.080
 the bad

00:38:08.080 --> 00:38:08.519
 things in

00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:09.120
 our lives

00:38:09.120 --> 00:38:10.080
 are not

00:38:10.080 --> 00:38:10.540
 the final

00:38:10.540 --> 00:38:11.080
 word that

00:38:11.080 --> 00:38:11.519
 God wants

00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:11.800
 to have

00:38:11.800 --> 00:38:12.260
 about you

00:38:12.260 --> 00:38:12.620
 and me

00:38:12.620 --> 00:38:14.740
 the times

00:38:14.740 --> 00:38:15.060
 in our

00:38:15.060 --> 00:38:15.560
 lives that

00:38:15.560 --> 00:38:15.820
 we have

00:38:15.820 --> 00:38:16.620
 been demonized

00:38:16.620 --> 00:38:17.400
 is not

00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:17.820
 the final

00:38:17.820 --> 00:38:18.380
 word that

00:38:18.380 --> 00:38:18.880
 the Lord

00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:19.280
 wants to

00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:19.660
 have about

00:38:19.660 --> 00:38:20.000
 you and

00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:20.260
 me

00:38:20.260 --> 00:38:22.120
 the ways

00:38:22.120 --> 00:38:22.420
 that we

00:38:22.420 --> 00:38:23.340
 are unclean

00:38:23.340 --> 00:38:24.040
 the ways

00:38:24.040 --> 00:38:24.300
 that we

00:38:24.300 --> 00:38:24.600
 are like

00:38:24.600 --> 00:38:25.080
 a leper

00:38:25.080 --> 00:38:25.620
 the ways

00:38:25.620 --> 00:38:25.900
 that we

00:38:25.900 --> 00:38:26.500
 are sick

00:38:26.500 --> 00:38:27.140
 the ways

00:38:27.140 --> 00:38:27.400
 that we

00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:28.440
 are ostracized

00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:28.940
 the ways

00:38:28.940 --> 00:38:29.220
 that we

00:38:29.220 --> 00:38:29.760
 are broken

00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:30.880
 the ways

00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:31.659
 that we

00:38:31.659 --> 00:38:32.380
 are shamed

00:38:32.380 --> 00:38:33.800
 the ways

00:38:33.800 --> 00:38:34.159
 that we

00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:34.900
 are belittled

00:38:34.900 --> 00:38:35.700
 are not

00:38:35.700 --> 00:38:36.139
 the final

00:38:36.139 --> 00:38:36.679
 word that

00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:36.940
 the Lord

00:38:36.940 --> 00:38:37.320
 wants to

00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:37.800
 have about

00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:38.159
 you and

00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:38.440
 me

00:38:38.440 --> 00:38:44.260
 see he

00:38:44.260 --> 00:38:44.920
 wants us

00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:45.460
 to sow

00:38:45.460 --> 00:38:45.920
 and look

00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:46.400
 and say

00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:48.159
 here is the

00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:48.840
 man who

00:38:48.840 --> 00:38:49.340
 will touch

00:38:49.340 --> 00:38:49.800
 a leper

00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:50.760
 here is a

00:38:50.760 --> 00:38:51.240
 man who

00:38:51.240 --> 00:38:51.800
 will address

00:38:51.800 --> 00:38:52.659
 the demonized

00:38:52.659 --> 00:38:53.460
 here is a

00:38:53.460 --> 00:38:53.920
 man who

00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:54.740
 identifies with

00:38:54.740 --> 00:38:55.059
 sinners

00:38:55.059 --> 00:38:55.599
 here is a

00:38:55.599 --> 00:38:55.980
 man who

00:38:55.980 --> 00:38:56.619
 knows all

00:38:56.619 --> 00:38:57.079
 of this

00:38:57.079 --> 00:38:58.019
 does not

00:38:58.019 --> 00:38:58.460
 have to

00:38:58.460 --> 00:38:58.780
 die

00:38:58.780 --> 00:39:00.019
 you come

00:39:00.019 --> 00:39:00.280
 to the

00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:00.759
 conclusion

00:39:00.759 --> 00:39:01.059
 as you

00:39:01.059 --> 00:39:01.380
 read through

00:39:01.380 --> 00:39:01.860
 the gospel

00:39:01.860 --> 00:39:02.360
 of Mark

00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:02.739
 that that

00:39:02.739 --> 00:39:03.440
 old Christian

00:39:03.440 --> 00:39:04.019
 saying is

00:39:04.019 --> 00:39:04.380
 that it

00:39:04.380 --> 00:39:04.980
 wasn't the

00:39:04.980 --> 00:39:05.559
 nails that

00:39:05.559 --> 00:39:06.139
 held Jesus

00:39:06.139 --> 00:39:06.960
 to the cross

00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:07.360
 but his

00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:08.420
 love for

00:39:08.420 --> 00:39:08.719
 you and

00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:09.039
 me that

00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:09.380
 held him

00:39:09.380 --> 00:39:09.619
 to the

00:39:09.619 --> 00:39:09.980
 cross

00:39:09.980 --> 00:39:13.739
 Jesus could

00:39:13.739 --> 00:39:14.440
 cast out

00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:15.199
 a demon

00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:16.360
 how on earth

00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:17.099
 could he ever

00:39:17.099 --> 00:39:17.679
 be hung to

00:39:17.679 --> 00:39:18.219
 a cross

00:39:18.219 --> 00:39:21.139
 we're going

00:39:21.139 --> 00:39:21.599
 to see him

00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:22.759
 fill the storm

00:39:22.759 --> 00:39:23.360
 and feed

00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:24.280
 the 5000

00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:28.480
 he could

00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:28.860
 only do

00:39:28.860 --> 00:39:29.280
 that if

00:39:29.280 --> 00:39:29.519
 when he

00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:29.980
 dies upon

00:39:29.980 --> 00:39:30.420
 the cross

00:39:30.420 --> 00:39:30.940
 he's dying

00:39:30.940 --> 00:39:31.420
 out of love

00:39:31.420 --> 00:39:31.760
 for you

00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:32.100
 and me

00:39:32.100 --> 00:39:32.440
 he does

00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:32.920
 it willingly

00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:34.600
 he is not

00:39:34.600 --> 00:39:35.100
 a king

00:39:35.100 --> 00:39:35.940
 who sends

00:39:35.940 --> 00:39:36.800
 his pawns

00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:37.620
 out so

00:39:37.620 --> 00:39:37.940
 that he

00:39:37.940 --> 00:39:38.640
 will triumph

00:39:38.640 --> 00:39:39.420
 and live

00:39:39.420 --> 00:39:40.840
 he is the

00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:41.260
 king who

00:39:41.260 --> 00:39:42.000
 comes amongst

00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:42.760
 his pawns

00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:43.220
 and dies

00:39:43.220 --> 00:39:43.580
 for the

00:39:43.580 --> 00:39:44.220
 pawns

00:39:44.220 --> 00:39:45.320
 that the

00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:45.780
 pawns

00:39:45.780 --> 00:39:46.320
 might become

00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:46.700
 kings

00:39:46.700 --> 00:39:47.460
 and queens

00:39:47.460 --> 00:39:52.639
 now some

00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:52.920
 of our

00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:53.539
 response

00:39:53.539 --> 00:39:53.960
 just as

00:39:53.960 --> 00:39:54.559
 we close

00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:55.059
 is that

00:39:55.059 --> 00:39:56.440
 I remember

00:39:56.440 --> 00:39:56.920
 many years

00:39:56.920 --> 00:39:57.460
 ago talking

00:39:57.460 --> 00:39:58.019
 to a person

00:39:58.019 --> 00:39:58.340
 who was

00:39:58.340 --> 00:39:58.720
 struggling

00:39:58.720 --> 00:39:59.659
 with alcoholism

00:39:59.659 --> 00:40:01.480
 and he

00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:01.880
 came to

00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:02.980
 the realization

00:40:02.980 --> 00:40:03.480
 that he

00:40:03.480 --> 00:40:03.960
 was probably

00:40:03.960 --> 00:40:04.519
 an alcoholic

00:40:04.519 --> 00:40:05.039
 and had to

00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:05.480
 do something

00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:05.960
 about him

00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:07.019
 and one

00:40:07.019 --> 00:40:07.179
 of the

00:40:07.179 --> 00:40:07.519
 things he

00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:07.880
 said to

00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:08.240
 me is he

00:40:08.240 --> 00:40:08.800
 said George

00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:09.340
 if I stop

00:40:09.340 --> 00:40:09.659
 being an

00:40:09.659 --> 00:40:10.119
 alcoholic

00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:11.340
 my life

00:40:11.340 --> 00:40:11.679
 will be

00:40:11.679 --> 00:40:12.019
 ruined

00:40:12.019 --> 00:40:13.780
 I don't

00:40:13.780 --> 00:40:14.059
 have a

00:40:14.059 --> 00:40:14.340
 single

00:40:14.340 --> 00:40:14.900
 friend who's

00:40:14.900 --> 00:40:15.220
 not an

00:40:15.220 --> 00:40:15.659
 alcoholic

00:40:15.659 --> 00:40:17.119
 I'll have

00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:17.559
 nothing to

00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:17.880
 do any

00:40:17.880 --> 00:40:18.259
 night

00:40:18.259 --> 00:40:19.619
 I'll have

00:40:19.619 --> 00:40:20.000
 nothing to

00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:20.219
 do on

00:40:20.219 --> 00:40:20.759
 the weekend

00:40:20.759 --> 00:40:21.880
 I won't

00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:22.219
 have any

00:40:22.219 --> 00:40:22.839
 friends

00:40:22.839 --> 00:40:27.659
 see one of

00:40:27.659 --> 00:40:27.920
 the things

00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:28.420
 which is so

00:40:28.420 --> 00:40:29.000
 interesting is

00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:29.679
 we hear about

00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:30.139
 this and

00:40:30.139 --> 00:40:31.159
 instantly there's

00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:31.659
 part of us

00:40:31.659 --> 00:40:32.219
 who says no

00:40:32.219 --> 00:40:32.460
 no no

00:40:32.460 --> 00:40:33.579
 if Jesus

00:40:33.579 --> 00:40:34.179
 comes into

00:40:34.179 --> 00:40:34.599
 my life

00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:34.960
 even though

00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:35.420
 he died

00:40:35.420 --> 00:40:35.659
 for me

00:40:35.659 --> 00:40:35.859
 if he

00:40:35.859 --> 00:40:36.279
 comes into

00:40:36.279 --> 00:40:36.699
 my life

00:40:36.699 --> 00:40:37.940
 see one

00:40:37.940 --> 00:40:38.099
 of the

00:40:38.099 --> 00:40:38.440
 things which

00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:38.659
 is the

00:40:38.659 --> 00:40:39.119
 final thing

00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:39.599
 which is so

00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:40.039
 remarkable

00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:40.619
 about that

00:40:40.619 --> 00:40:41.359
 story is

00:40:41.359 --> 00:40:41.659
 that when

00:40:41.659 --> 00:40:42.440
 the demonized

00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:43.900
 man says

00:40:43.900 --> 00:40:46.039
 what have you

00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:46.460
 to do with

00:40:46.460 --> 00:40:46.679
 us

00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:47.839
 Jesus

00:40:47.839 --> 00:40:48.500
 Nazareth

00:40:48.500 --> 00:40:48.839
 have you

00:40:48.839 --> 00:40:49.179
 come to

00:40:49.179 --> 00:40:49.659
 destroy

00:40:49.659 --> 00:40:50.179
 us

00:40:50.179 --> 00:40:52.559
 the demonized

00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:53.019
 man is

00:40:53.019 --> 00:40:53.799
 expressing how

00:40:53.799 --> 00:40:54.799
 every person

00:40:54.799 --> 00:40:55.679
 is in regard

00:40:55.679 --> 00:40:56.639
 to key sins

00:40:56.639 --> 00:40:56.980
 in their

00:40:56.980 --> 00:40:57.539
 lives

00:40:57.539 --> 00:40:58.920
 the person

00:40:58.920 --> 00:40:59.719
 who's completely

00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:00.319
 and utterly

00:41:00.319 --> 00:41:01.500
 consumed

00:41:01.500 --> 00:41:02.799
 without recognizing

00:41:02.799 --> 00:41:03.259
 that they're

00:41:03.259 --> 00:41:03.960
 consumed with

00:41:03.960 --> 00:41:04.319
 money

00:41:04.319 --> 00:41:06.179
 the person

00:41:06.179 --> 00:41:06.759
 who's completely

00:41:06.759 --> 00:41:07.159
 and utterly

00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:07.619
 consumed

00:41:07.619 --> 00:41:08.480
 without realizing

00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:08.920
 that they're

00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:09.460
 consumed

00:41:09.460 --> 00:41:10.839
 with power

00:41:10.839 --> 00:41:11.900
 or with

00:41:11.900 --> 00:41:12.859
 their appearance

00:41:12.860 --> 00:41:13.820
 or with

00:41:13.820 --> 00:41:14.180
 having

00:41:14.180 --> 00:41:15.059
 sex

00:41:15.059 --> 00:41:16.620
 or with

00:41:16.620 --> 00:41:19.079
 envy

00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:20.300
 or just

00:41:20.300 --> 00:41:21.099
 with food

00:41:21.099 --> 00:41:21.800
 or like

00:41:21.800 --> 00:41:22.519
 with whatever

00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:23.059
 it is

00:41:23.059 --> 00:41:23.440
 and it can

00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:23.840
 be more

00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:24.280
 than one

00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:24.700
 thing

00:41:24.700 --> 00:41:25.559
 there is

00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:26.160
 this sense

00:41:26.160 --> 00:41:26.519
 that if

00:41:26.519 --> 00:41:26.900
 Jesus

00:41:26.900 --> 00:41:27.800
 comes into

00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:28.360
 your life

00:41:28.360 --> 00:41:29.140
 he's going

00:41:29.140 --> 00:41:29.980
 to destroy

00:41:29.980 --> 00:41:30.599
 us

00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:31.500
 because I've

00:41:31.500 --> 00:41:32.180
 become so

00:41:32.180 --> 00:41:32.860
 consumed

00:41:32.860 --> 00:41:33.760
 and so

00:41:33.760 --> 00:41:34.320
 identified

00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:34.960
 with my

00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:35.500
 search for

00:41:35.500 --> 00:41:35.880
 money

00:41:35.880 --> 00:41:36.539
 even though

00:41:36.539 --> 00:41:37.099
 my search

00:41:37.099 --> 00:41:37.559
 for money

00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:38.079
 is messing

00:41:38.079 --> 00:41:38.440
 up my

00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:38.780
 life

00:41:38.780 --> 00:41:39.460
 like if

00:41:39.460 --> 00:41:40.019
 you become

00:41:40.019 --> 00:41:40.600
 consumed

00:41:40.600 --> 00:41:41.160
 with making

00:41:41.160 --> 00:41:41.460
 money

00:41:41.460 --> 00:41:42.140
 you will

00:41:42.140 --> 00:41:42.560
 actually

00:41:42.560 --> 00:41:43.000
 rarely

00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:43.740
 be happy

00:41:43.740 --> 00:41:44.420
 because

00:41:44.420 --> 00:41:44.720
 you're

00:41:44.720 --> 00:41:44.900
 going to

00:41:44.900 --> 00:41:45.400
 be worried

00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:45.620
 about

00:41:45.620 --> 00:41:46.000
 every

00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:46.660
 downturn

00:41:46.660 --> 00:41:46.920
 in the

00:41:46.920 --> 00:41:47.240
 stock

00:41:47.240 --> 00:41:47.580
 market

00:41:47.580 --> 00:41:47.900
 you're

00:41:47.900 --> 00:41:48.040
 going

00:41:48.040 --> 00:41:48.280
 to be

00:41:48.280 --> 00:41:48.640
 worried

00:41:48.640 --> 00:41:48.860
 about

00:41:48.860 --> 00:41:49.040
 the

00:41:49.040 --> 00:41:49.300
 people

00:41:49.300 --> 00:41:49.519
 who have

00:41:49.519 --> 00:41:49.760
 more

00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:50.040
 money

00:41:50.040 --> 00:41:50.240
 than

00:41:50.240 --> 00:41:50.360
 you

00:41:50.360 --> 00:41:50.580
 you're

00:41:50.580 --> 00:41:50.680
 going

00:41:50.680 --> 00:41:50.980
 to feel

00:41:50.980 --> 00:41:51.620
 insecure

00:41:51.620 --> 00:41:53.080
 I remember

00:41:53.080 --> 00:41:53.580
 the man

00:41:53.580 --> 00:41:53.860
 who was

00:41:53.860 --> 00:41:54.240
 very

00:41:54.240 --> 00:41:55.060
 wealthy

00:41:55.060 --> 00:41:55.380
 he was

00:41:55.380 --> 00:41:55.580
 worth

00:41:55.580 --> 00:41:56.360
 a lot

00:41:56.360 --> 00:41:56.540
 of

00:41:56.540 --> 00:41:56.900
 millions

00:41:56.900 --> 00:41:57.140
 of

00:41:57.140 --> 00:41:57.480
 dollars

00:41:57.480 --> 00:41:57.840
 and he

00:41:57.840 --> 00:41:58.019
 said

00:41:58.019 --> 00:41:58.320
 he didn't

00:41:58.320 --> 00:41:58.500
 know

00:41:58.500 --> 00:41:58.780
 if he

00:41:58.780 --> 00:41:58.980
 had

00:41:58.980 --> 00:41:59.240
 enough

00:41:59.240 --> 00:41:59.519
 money

00:41:59.519 --> 00:41:59.700
 yet

00:41:59.700 --> 00:41:59.880
 to

00:41:59.880 --> 00:42:00.440
 retire

00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:03.340
 he said

00:42:03.340 --> 00:42:03.880
 I can't

00:42:03.880 --> 00:42:04.300
 figure out

00:42:04.300 --> 00:42:04.740
 when I have

00:42:04.740 --> 00:42:04.980
 enough

00:42:04.980 --> 00:42:05.220
 money

00:42:08.780 --> 00:42:09.260
 money

00:42:09.260 --> 00:42:09.960
 and I

00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:10.180
 thought

00:42:10.180 --> 00:42:10.640
 to myself

00:42:10.640 --> 00:42:11.140
 you have

00:42:11.140 --> 00:42:11.460
 like a

00:42:11.460 --> 00:42:11.740
 hundred

00:42:11.740 --> 00:42:12.200
 times

00:42:12.200 --> 00:42:12.460
 more

00:42:12.460 --> 00:42:13.240
 a thousand

00:42:13.240 --> 00:42:13.640
 times

00:42:13.640 --> 00:42:13.860
 more

00:42:13.860 --> 00:42:14.160
 money

00:42:14.160 --> 00:42:14.720
 if I

00:42:14.720 --> 00:42:14.960
 had

00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:15.120
 your

00:42:15.120 --> 00:42:15.380
 money

00:42:15.380 --> 00:42:15.620
 I'd

00:42:15.620 --> 00:42:17.780
 but you

00:42:17.780 --> 00:42:18.060
 see

00:42:18.060 --> 00:42:18.800
 when money

00:42:18.800 --> 00:42:19.420
 comes to

00:42:19.420 --> 00:42:19.880
 take upon

00:42:19.880 --> 00:42:20.060
 you

00:42:20.060 --> 00:42:20.280
 your

00:42:20.280 --> 00:42:20.900
 identity

00:42:20.900 --> 00:42:21.180
 is

00:42:21.180 --> 00:42:21.640
 insecure

00:42:21.640 --> 00:42:22.740
 and you

00:42:22.740 --> 00:42:23.200
 don't

00:42:23.200 --> 00:42:23.540
 realize

00:42:23.540 --> 00:42:23.880
 that your

00:42:23.880 --> 00:42:24.240
 identity

00:42:24.240 --> 00:42:24.600
 is being

00:42:24.600 --> 00:42:25.000
 formed

00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:25.740
 by gripping

00:42:25.740 --> 00:42:26.480
 onto this

00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:26.960
 type of

00:42:26.960 --> 00:42:27.320
 thing

00:42:27.320 --> 00:42:27.980
 and so

00:42:27.980 --> 00:42:28.280
 it is

00:42:28.280 --> 00:42:28.820
 when Jesus

00:42:28.820 --> 00:42:29.180
 says

00:42:29.180 --> 00:42:29.519
 if I

00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:30.000
 come to

00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:30.160
 you

00:42:30.160 --> 00:42:30.480
 I will

00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:30.880
 come to

00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:31.180
 save

00:42:31.180 --> 00:42:31.300
 you

00:42:31.300 --> 00:42:31.600
 I will

00:42:31.600 --> 00:42:31.980
 come to

00:42:31.980 --> 00:42:32.220
 free

00:42:32.220 --> 00:42:32.440
 you

00:42:32.440 --> 00:42:33.140
 and part

00:42:33.140 --> 00:42:33.400
 of you

00:42:33.400 --> 00:42:33.640
 says

00:42:33.640 --> 00:42:33.840
 no

00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:34.000
 no

00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:34.420
 I might

00:42:34.420 --> 00:42:34.560
 have

00:42:34.560 --> 00:42:34.840
 to give

00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:35.019
 some

00:42:35.019 --> 00:42:35.219
 of that

00:42:35.219 --> 00:42:35.420
 money

00:42:35.420 --> 00:42:35.840
 away

00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:39.000
 I might

00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:39.119
 have

00:42:39.119 --> 00:42:39.280
 to

00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:39.920
 tithe

00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:42.960
 I'm

00:42:42.960 --> 00:42:43.059
 going to

00:42:43.059 --> 00:42:43.159
 have

00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:43.420
 to give

00:42:43.420 --> 00:42:43.719
 to the

00:42:43.719 --> 00:42:44.099
 poor

00:42:44.099 --> 00:42:47.659
 and so

00:42:47.659 --> 00:42:47.960
 we say

00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:48.340
 to Jesus

00:42:48.340 --> 00:42:48.659
 if you

00:42:48.659 --> 00:42:48.980
 come to

00:42:48.980 --> 00:42:49.460
 destroy

00:42:49.460 --> 00:42:49.980
 us

00:42:49.980 --> 00:42:50.539
 if you

00:42:50.539 --> 00:42:50.840
 come to

00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:51.280
 destroy

00:42:51.280 --> 00:42:51.820
 us

00:42:51.820 --> 00:42:53.559
 see

00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:53.719
 the

00:42:53.719 --> 00:42:54.199
 demonized

00:42:54.199 --> 00:42:54.500
 man

00:42:54.500 --> 00:42:54.679
 is

00:42:54.679 --> 00:42:55.259
 expressing

00:42:55.259 --> 00:42:55.860
 how we

00:42:55.860 --> 00:42:56.179
 relate

00:42:56.179 --> 00:42:56.900
 to sin

00:42:56.900 --> 00:42:58.539
 to our

00:42:58.539 --> 00:42:59.259
 pride

00:42:59.259 --> 00:43:00.079
 our autonomy

00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:00.759
 our ability

00:43:00.759 --> 00:43:01.380
 to control

00:43:01.380 --> 00:43:02.059
 ourselves

00:43:02.059 --> 00:43:02.880
 even though

00:43:02.880 --> 00:43:03.539
 all these

00:43:03.539 --> 00:43:03.880
 things

00:43:03.880 --> 00:43:04.460
 just make

00:43:04.460 --> 00:43:04.619
 us

00:43:04.619 --> 00:43:04.900
 more

00:43:04.900 --> 00:43:05.260
 and more

00:43:05.260 --> 00:43:05.860
 fragile

00:43:05.860 --> 00:43:06.200
 not

00:43:06.200 --> 00:43:07.119
 anti-fragile

00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:07.920
 but fragile

00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:08.579
 more

00:43:08.579 --> 00:43:08.860
 and more

00:43:08.860 --> 00:43:09.280
 dependent

00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:09.559
 upon

00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:09.980
 what other

00:43:09.980 --> 00:43:10.260
 people

00:43:10.260 --> 00:43:10.660
 think

00:43:10.660 --> 00:43:10.960
 about

00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:11.300
 us

00:43:11.300 --> 00:43:11.940
 more

00:43:11.940 --> 00:43:12.340
 independent

00:43:12.340 --> 00:43:12.599
 about

00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:12.880
 having

00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:13.059
 the

00:43:15.840 --> 00:43:16.440
 having

00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:16.660
 the

00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:22.400
 all

00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:22.559
 of

00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:22.800
 these

00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:23.200
 things

00:43:23.200 --> 00:43:23.380
 and

00:43:23.380 --> 00:43:23.500
 they

00:43:23.500 --> 00:43:23.820
 just

00:43:23.820 --> 00:43:24.420
 make

00:43:24.420 --> 00:43:24.579
 us

00:43:24.579 --> 00:43:24.860
 at a

00:43:24.860 --> 00:43:25.260
 fundamental

00:43:25.260 --> 00:43:25.880
 level

00:43:26.559 --> 00:43:27.000
 insecure

00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:28.180
 and so

00:43:28.180 --> 00:43:28.340
 we

00:43:28.340 --> 00:43:28.539
 say

00:43:28.539 --> 00:43:28.720
 to

00:43:28.720 --> 00:43:28.980
 Jesus

00:43:28.980 --> 00:43:29.320
 yes

00:43:29.320 --> 00:43:29.460
 I

00:43:29.460 --> 00:43:29.680

00:43:31.200 --> 00:43:31.320
 will

00:43:31.320 --> 00:43:31.500
 make

 power

00:45:09.400 --> 00:45:10.100
 dynamics

00:45:10.100 --> 00:45:10.400
 and

 idolatrous

00:45:11.180 --> 00:45:11.660
 things

 my

00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:12.220
 life

00:45:12.220 --> 00:45:12.480
 you'll

 subvert

00:45:12.960 --> 00:45:13.320
 those

00:45:16.100 --> 00:45:16.720
 and

00:45:16.720 --> 00:45:17.519
 deconstruct

00:45:17.519 --> 00:45:17.780
 those

00:45:17.780 --> 00:45:17.980
 but

00:45:17.980 --> 00:45:18.440
 fulfill

00:45:18.440 --> 00:45:18.880
 actually

00:45:18.880 --> 00:45:19.080
 the

00:45:19.080 --> 00:45:19.340
 real

00:45:19.340 --> 00:45:19.820
 deeper

00:45:19.820 --> 00:45:20.300
 longing

00:45:20.300 --> 00:45:20.519
 of

 my

00:45:20.720 --> 00:45:21.240
 heart

00:45:21.240 --> 00:45:24.500
 because

00:45:24.500 --> 00:45:24.660
 in

00:45:24.660 --> 00:45:24.800
 the

00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:25.019
 depth

00:45:25.019 --> 00:45:25.140
 of

00:45:25.680 --> 00:45:25.820
 know

00:45:25.820 --> 00:45:25.980
 that

00:45:25.980 --> 00:45:26.160
 I'd

00:45:26.160 --> 00:45:26.440
 rather

00:45:26.440 --> 00:45:26.680
 on

 my

00:45:27.120 --> 00:45:27.360
 bed

00:45:28.820 --> 00:45:29.039
 than a

00:45:29.039 --> 00:45:29.220
 greedy

00:45:29.220 --> 00:45:29.780
 person

00:45:29.780 --> 00:45:30.640
 a

00:45:30.980 --> 00:45:31.600
 person

00:45:31.600 --> 00:45:32.200

00:45:32.200 --> 00:45:32.400
 one

00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:32.559
 who

00:45:32.559 --> 00:45:32.800
 never

00:45:32.800 --> 00:45:33.440
 forgives

00:45:33.440 --> 00:45:34.260
 a

00:45:34.260 --> 00:45:34.519
 loving

00:45:34.519 --> 00:45:35.000
 person

00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:35.260
 rather

00:45:35.260 --> 00:45:35.400
 than

00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:35.559
 one

00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:35.700
 who

00:45:35.700 --> 00:45:36.160
 hates

00:45:36.160 --> 00:45:36.900
 one

00:45:36.900 --> 00:45:37.039
 who

00:45:37.039 --> 00:45:37.320
 shows

00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:37.960
 compassion

00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:38.240
