00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.180
 Genesis, somebody from Romans.

00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:06.500
 Thank you, Peter.

00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:11.359
 So, Genesis chapter 3, it's on page 5,

00:00:12.780 --> 00:00:16.559
 from verses 8 through to 19.

00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:20.300
 Thanks very much, Chris.

00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.440
 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God

00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:28.980
 as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day,

00:00:28.980 --> 00:00:32.219
 and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

00:00:33.020 --> 00:00:34.880
 But the Lord God called to the man,

00:00:35.100 --> 00:00:35.799
 Where are you?

00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:37.219
 He answered,

00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.020
 I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid,

00:00:40.620 --> 00:00:42.859
 because I was naked, so I hid.

00:00:43.780 --> 00:00:44.439
 And he said,

00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:46.179
 Who told you that you were naked?

00:00:46.579 --> 00:00:49.600
 Have you eaten from the tree from which I commanded you not to eat?

00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:51.400
 The man said,

00:00:51.780 --> 00:00:53.380
 The woman you put here with me,

00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:56.299
 she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.

00:00:56.299 --> 00:00:59.119
 Then the Lord God said to the woman,

00:00:59.419 --> 00:01:01.219
 What is this you have done?

00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:03.219
 The woman said,

00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:05.519
 The serpent deceived me, and I ate.

00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:08.739
 So the Lord God said to the serpent,

00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:10.560
 Because you have done this,

00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:13.199
 cursed are you above all the livestock,

00:01:13.739 --> 00:01:15.019
 and all the wild animals.

00:01:15.539 --> 00:01:16.939
 You will crawl on your belly,

00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.579
 and you will eat dust all the days of your life.

00:01:19.579 --> 00:01:22.659
 I will put enmity between you and the woman,

00:01:23.060 --> 00:01:24.739
 and between your offspring and hers.

00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:26.599
 He will crush your head,

00:01:26.759 --> 00:01:28.019
 and you will strike his heel.

00:01:28.939 --> 00:01:30.099
 To the woman he said,

00:01:30.340 --> 00:01:33.319
 I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing.

00:01:34.060 --> 00:01:36.200
 With pain you will give birth to children.

00:01:37.219 --> 00:01:39.000
 Your desire will be for your husband,

00:01:39.140 --> 00:01:40.379
 and he will rule over you.

00:01:41.620 --> 00:01:42.780
 To Adam he said,

00:01:42.980 --> 00:01:44.579
 Because you listened to your wife,

00:01:44.620 --> 00:01:46.900
 and ate from the tree about which I commanded you,

00:01:46.900 --> 00:01:48.400
 you must not eat of it.

00:01:50.320 --> 00:01:52.000
 Cursed is the ground because of you.

00:01:52.100 --> 00:01:53.760
 Through painful toil you will eat of it

00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:55.020
 all the days of your life.

00:01:55.420 --> 00:01:57.700
 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,

00:01:57.860 --> 00:01:59.780
 and you will eat the plants of the field.

00:02:00.440 --> 00:02:02.780
 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food

00:02:02.780 --> 00:02:04.219
 until you return to the ground,

00:02:04.860 --> 00:02:06.200
 since from it you were taken.

00:02:06.660 --> 00:02:07.660
 For dust you are,

00:02:08.060 --> 00:02:09.319
 and to dust you will return.

00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:12.199
 Thanks very much.

00:02:12.459 --> 00:02:15.099
 And then if you'd flick over to Romans chapter 8,

00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:17.340
 which is on page 1135.

00:02:21.819 --> 00:02:22.819
 Romans 8,

00:02:24.239 --> 00:02:25.780
 page 1135,

00:02:26.180 --> 00:02:29.900
 starting at verse 17 through to verse 30.

00:02:29.900 --> 00:02:33.240
 Now if we are children,

00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.900
 then we are heirs,

00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.520
 heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ.

00:02:39.980 --> 00:02:41.740
 If indeed we share in his sufferings,

00:02:41.819 --> 00:02:43.920
 in order that we may also share in his glory.

00:02:45.060 --> 00:02:47.080
 I consider that our present sufferings

00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:48.159
 are not worth comparing

00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:50.500
 with the glory that will be revealed in us.

00:02:51.180 --> 00:02:53.120
 The creation waits in eager expectation

00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:54.980
 for the sons of God to be revealed.

00:02:55.740 --> 00:02:57.920
 For the creation was subjected to frustration,

00:02:57.919 --> 00:02:59.819
 not by its own choice,

00:02:59.959 --> 00:03:02.039
 but by the will of the one who subjected it,

00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:04.239
 in hope that the creation itself

00:03:04.239 --> 00:03:06.579
 would be liberated from its bondage to decay

00:03:06.579 --> 00:03:08.659
 and brought into the glorious freedom

00:03:08.659 --> 00:03:09.779
 of the children of God.

00:03:11.079 --> 00:03:12.759
 We know that the whole creation

00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.219
 has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth,

00:03:15.619 --> 00:03:17.000
 right up to the present time.

00:03:17.959 --> 00:03:18.739
 Not only so,

00:03:18.819 --> 00:03:19.539
 but we ourselves,

00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:21.519
 who have the first fruits of the Spirit,

00:03:22.019 --> 00:03:23.939
 groan inwardly as we wait eagerly

00:03:23.939 --> 00:03:25.299
 for our adoption as sons,

00:03:25.779 --> 00:03:26.939
 the redemption of our bodies.

00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:29.599
 For in this hope we were saved.

00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.819
 But hope that is seen is no hope at all.

00:03:33.579 --> 00:03:35.419
 Who hopes for what he already has?

00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.399
 But if we hope for what we do not yet have,

00:03:38.459 --> 00:03:39.519
 we wait for it patiently.

00:03:40.659 --> 00:03:41.599
 In the same way,

00:03:41.679 --> 00:03:43.159
 the Spirit helps us in our weakness.

00:03:43.899 --> 00:03:45.899
 We do not know what we ought to pray for,

00:03:45.979 --> 00:03:48.299
 but the Spirit himself intercedes for us

00:03:48.299 --> 00:03:50.439
 with groans that words cannot express.

00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:52.759
 And he who searches our hearts

00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:54.219
 knows the mind of the Spirit,

00:03:54.659 --> 00:03:56.859
 because the Spirit intercedes for the saints

00:03:56.859 --> 00:03:58.359
 in accordance with God's will.

00:03:59.939 --> 00:04:01.560
 And we know that in all things

00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:03.800
 God works for the good of those who love him,

00:04:04.060 --> 00:04:06.340
 who have been called according to his purpose.

00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:08.479
 For those God foreknew,

00:04:08.579 --> 00:04:10.819
 he also predestined to be conformed

00:04:10.819 --> 00:04:12.139
 to the likeness of his Son,

00:04:12.659 --> 00:04:15.060
 that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

00:04:15.060 --> 00:04:17.360
 And those he predestined,

00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:18.319
 he also called.

00:04:19.220 --> 00:04:19.980
 Those he called,

00:04:20.060 --> 00:04:20.939
 he also justified.

00:04:21.660 --> 00:04:22.519
 Those he justified,

00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:23.759
 he also glorified.

00:04:25.180 --> 00:04:26.079
 Thanks, Peter.

00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:45.659
 Well, we've been looking through

00:04:45.659 --> 00:04:48.079
 the Book of Romans

00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:51.339
 in this last mini-series

00:04:51.339 --> 00:04:55.319
 from chapter 5 through to chapter 8.

00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.759
 looking at how we experience the Gospel.

00:04:59.899 --> 00:05:01.819
 And here we see how the Gospel

00:05:01.819 --> 00:05:04.699
 brings hope to our lives.

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.079
 So let's pray together

00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.180
 as we look at his Word.

00:05:15.180 --> 00:05:17.159
 Our Father, we thank you so much

00:05:17.159 --> 00:05:20.019
 for your many gifts to us,

00:05:20.019 --> 00:05:22.139
 and we thank you for the gift

00:05:22.139 --> 00:05:23.620
 of your Holy Spirit.

00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:26.920
 the Spirit of Christ

00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.459
 living within us.

00:05:30.779 --> 00:05:33.159
 And we pray that by your Spirit

00:05:33.159 --> 00:05:34.800
 you would take your Word

00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:38.659
 and make it alive

00:05:38.659 --> 00:05:40.199
 in our own lives.

00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:42.060
 Make it real

00:05:42.060 --> 00:05:43.639
 and make it fresh.

00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:49.659
 may it remind us of the eternal hope

00:05:49.659 --> 00:05:50.639
 and glory

00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.419
 that your people have.

00:05:54.259 --> 00:05:55.879
 May it give us courage

00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:56.979
 and strength

00:05:56.979 --> 00:05:58.699
 for this coming week.

00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:02.339
 And may we be people

00:06:02.339 --> 00:06:04.419
 who celebrate

00:06:04.419 --> 00:06:07.079
 all that you have given to us.

00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:10.519
 So please speak to us

00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:11.539
 afresh this morning.

00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:13.039
 In Jesus' name.

00:06:13.819 --> 00:06:14.300
 Amen.

00:06:18.740 --> 00:06:20.560
 Well, who would have thought it?

00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:24.259
 Ireland beating England

00:06:24.259 --> 00:06:25.219
 at cricket.

00:06:25.220 --> 00:06:25.360
 cricket.

00:06:26.020 --> 00:06:26.200
 Hmm?

00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:28.860
 The scenes were quite incredible.

00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:31.380
 Bats were thrown in the air

00:06:31.380 --> 00:06:32.200
 in excitement.

00:06:32.900 --> 00:06:34.540
 The whole team rushed on

00:06:34.540 --> 00:06:35.800
 to embrace each other.

00:06:36.300 --> 00:06:38.480
 The fans cheered in the stands

00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:40.620
 with tears running down their face.

00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:42.540
 You would have thought

00:06:42.540 --> 00:06:43.820
 they'd won the World Cup.

00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:46.160
 Maybe beating England

00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:47.780
 is better than winning the World Cup.

00:06:47.840 --> 00:06:48.340
 I don't know.

00:06:48.339 --> 00:06:50.819
 But every one of those people

00:06:50.819 --> 00:06:52.459
 was a picture of joy

00:06:52.459 --> 00:06:53.599
 and delight

00:06:53.599 --> 00:06:55.659
 as together they celebrated

00:06:55.659 --> 00:06:56.899
 and reveled

00:06:56.899 --> 00:06:58.500
 in their new glory.

00:06:59.599 --> 00:07:01.659
 But before that famous victory

00:07:01.659 --> 00:07:03.599
 there came an awful lot

00:07:03.599 --> 00:07:04.279
 of suffering.

00:07:05.459 --> 00:07:06.659
 The work in the gym.

00:07:07.799 --> 00:07:09.659
 The endless hours of practice.

00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:12.259
 The years of defeat

00:07:12.259 --> 00:07:13.479
 and being written off

00:07:13.479 --> 00:07:14.319
 by the press

00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:15.379
 as losers.

00:07:16.779 --> 00:07:18.219
 Before their victory

00:07:18.220 --> 00:07:20.280
 there was a lot of agony.

00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:23.000
 Before their glory

00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:25.180
 there was a lot of groaning.

00:07:26.700 --> 00:07:28.120
 Now in Romans 8

00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.200
 there's a lot of talk of glory

00:07:30.200 --> 00:07:32.920
 but before we get to the glory

00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:34.960
 there is a lot of groaning.

00:07:35.960 --> 00:07:38.740
 It starts in verse 17

00:07:38.740 --> 00:07:41.400
 with the promise of glory.

00:07:42.260 --> 00:07:44.080
 Look at the end of verse 17.

00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.200
 It says that we may also share

00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:49.060
 in his glory.

00:07:49.060 --> 00:07:52.539
 And the passage that we read

00:07:52.539 --> 00:07:55.279
 finishes with the assurance

00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:56.560
 of glory.

00:07:57.039 --> 00:07:58.339
 Verse 30.

00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:01.579
 Those he justified

00:08:01.579 --> 00:08:04.300
 he also glorified.

00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:07.860
 But between this promise of glory

00:08:07.860 --> 00:08:09.879
 and the assurance of glory

00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:10.939
 in between

00:08:10.939 --> 00:08:13.620
 we have an awful lot of groaning

00:08:13.620 --> 00:08:14.439
 going on.

00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:16.379
 verse 22

00:08:16.379 --> 00:08:19.639
 tells us that creation

00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:22.100
 has been groaning

00:08:22.100 --> 00:08:25.279
 as in the pains of childbirth.

00:08:25.779 --> 00:08:26.620
 Verse 23.

00:08:27.019 --> 00:08:28.420
 People are groaning.

00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:30.160
 Not only so

00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:31.779
 but we ourselves

00:08:31.779 --> 00:08:34.539
 groan inwardly.

00:08:34.539 --> 00:08:39.299
 and the spirit groans.

00:08:39.299 --> 00:08:40.899
 Verse 26.

00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:43.480
 We do not know

00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:44.899
 what we ought to pray for

00:08:44.899 --> 00:08:46.879
 but the spirit himself

00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:48.319
 intercedes for us

00:08:48.319 --> 00:08:49.620
 with groans

00:08:49.620 --> 00:08:52.860
 that words cannot express.

00:08:52.860 --> 00:08:55.460
 this passage

00:08:55.460 --> 00:08:57.180
 gives us a picture

00:08:57.180 --> 00:08:58.240
 of life

00:08:58.240 --> 00:08:59.759
 showing in detail

00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:01.340
 that Christians

00:09:01.340 --> 00:09:02.419
 are people

00:09:02.419 --> 00:09:03.600
 who are moving

00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:05.560
 from groaning

00:09:05.560 --> 00:09:07.659
 into glory.

00:09:07.659 --> 00:09:11.459
 Now the reason

00:09:11.459 --> 00:09:13.019
 why we're in that position

00:09:13.019 --> 00:09:13.980
 why we're moving

00:09:13.980 --> 00:09:14.699
 from groaning

00:09:14.699 --> 00:09:15.399
 to glory

00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:16.179
 is because

00:09:16.179 --> 00:09:17.419
 we have lost

00:09:17.419 --> 00:09:18.259
 the glory.

00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:20.480
 If you remember

00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:21.839
 from our study last week

00:09:21.839 --> 00:09:22.980
 the first part of

00:09:22.980 --> 00:09:23.799
 Romans 8

00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:24.679
 reminded us

00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:25.579
 that those who have

00:09:25.579 --> 00:09:26.539
 faith in Christ

00:09:26.539 --> 00:09:28.579
 are supernatural people.

00:09:29.539 --> 00:09:31.059
 The spirit of Christ

00:09:31.059 --> 00:09:32.319
 lives in us

00:09:32.319 --> 00:09:34.000
 empowering us

00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:34.860
 to live the life

00:09:34.860 --> 00:09:36.360
 that God has called us to.

00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:39.180
 But being supernatural people

00:09:39.180 --> 00:09:40.779
 does not mean

00:09:40.779 --> 00:09:41.800
 we are suffering

00:09:41.800 --> 00:09:43.379
 free people.

00:09:44.419 --> 00:09:45.240
 In fact

00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:46.399
 we live in a world

00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:47.440
 where the glory

00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:49.019
 has been lost.

00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:51.000
 Keep your finger

00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:52.500
 in chapter 8

00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:53.419
 and just go back

00:09:53.419 --> 00:09:54.779
 to chapter 1

00:09:54.779 --> 00:09:55.759
 of Romans.

00:09:56.580 --> 00:09:58.060
 Verse 22.

00:10:03.220 --> 00:10:04.300
 Chapter 1

00:10:04.300 --> 00:10:05.080
 verse 22.

00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:06.080
 This is true

00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:08.040
 of all people.

00:10:10.980 --> 00:10:12.259
 Verse 22.

00:10:12.540 --> 00:10:14.020
 Although we claimed

00:10:14.020 --> 00:10:15.080
 to be wise

00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:17.200
 we became fools

00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:18.980
 and exchanged

00:10:18.980 --> 00:10:19.840
 the glory

00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:21.660
 of the immortal God

00:10:21.660 --> 00:10:22.780
 for images.

00:10:24.400 --> 00:10:25.480
 So it's telling us

00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:26.820
 that we have exchanged

00:10:26.820 --> 00:10:27.820
 God's glory

00:10:27.820 --> 00:10:30.200
 for an imitation glory.

00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:31.360
 Rather than looking

00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:31.940
 to God

00:10:31.940 --> 00:10:32.759
 for life

00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:33.900
 and meaning

00:10:33.899 --> 00:10:35.100
 and purpose

00:10:35.100 --> 00:10:36.559
 we have looked

00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:37.419
 to idols.

00:10:38.299 --> 00:10:39.799
 We have substituted

00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:40.319
 God

00:10:40.319 --> 00:10:41.259
 with things

00:10:41.259 --> 00:10:42.159
 and people.

00:10:43.220 --> 00:10:44.639
 And the consequences

00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:47.679
 are a complete

00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:48.319
 breakdown

00:10:48.319 --> 00:10:49.959
 in the world's order.

00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:51.860
 Look at verse 28

00:10:51.860 --> 00:10:52.740
 of chapter 1.

00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:53.740
 God's glory.

00:10:53.740 --> 00:10:54.740
 Furthermore,

00:10:54.740 --> 00:10:55.799
 furthermore,

00:10:55.980 --> 00:10:57.560
 since we did not

00:10:57.560 --> 00:10:58.539
 think it worthwhile

00:10:58.539 --> 00:10:59.519
 to retain

00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:00.259
 the knowledge

00:11:00.259 --> 00:11:00.840
 of God

00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:02.120
 he gave us

00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:03.560
 over to a depraved

00:11:03.560 --> 00:11:04.060
 mind

00:11:04.060 --> 00:11:04.919
 to do what

00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:05.580
 ought not

00:11:05.580 --> 00:11:06.320
 to be done.

00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:08.060
 You see,

00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:08.720
 the people

00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:10.360
 in this world

00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:11.720
 do not reflect

00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:12.700
 God's glory.

00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:14.080
 We have distorted

00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:15.240
 God's glory.

00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:15.279
 glory.

00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:16.220
 Everything

00:11:16.220 --> 00:11:16.840
 has become

00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:17.560
 twisted.

00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:20.440
 Go to chapter 3

00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:21.419
 verse 22.

00:11:28.460 --> 00:11:30.080
 Here was his summary

00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:31.580
 of the way

00:11:31.580 --> 00:11:32.480
 things have gone.

00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:34.340
 The end of verse 22.

00:11:34.500 --> 00:11:35.960
 There is no difference

00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:37.139
 no matter who you are.

00:11:38.620 --> 00:11:40.180
 For all have sinned

00:11:40.180 --> 00:11:41.639
 and fall short

00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:43.039
 of the glory

00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:43.840
 of God.

00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:45.940
 it's become

00:11:45.940 --> 00:11:47.100
 unrecognizable.

00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:48.000
 It's broken

00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:49.280
 and twisted

00:11:49.280 --> 00:11:50.980
 and so what we see

00:11:50.980 --> 00:11:51.940
 now in this world

00:11:51.940 --> 00:11:52.780
 is a people

00:11:52.780 --> 00:11:54.340
 who live in a world

00:11:54.340 --> 00:11:55.000
 that suffers

00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:56.320
 and people

00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:56.980
 who suffer

00:11:56.980 --> 00:11:58.379
 and we suffer

00:11:58.379 --> 00:11:58.980
 because

00:11:58.980 --> 00:12:00.780
 we have exchanged

00:12:00.780 --> 00:12:01.780
 God's glory

00:12:01.780 --> 00:12:03.220
 for an imitation

00:12:03.220 --> 00:12:03.820
 glory.

00:12:04.940 --> 00:12:06.000
 But the wonder

00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:06.800
 of the gospel

00:12:06.800 --> 00:12:08.160
 is all about

00:12:08.160 --> 00:12:09.040
 the restoration

00:12:09.040 --> 00:12:10.360
 and the renewal

00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:11.360
 of that glory.

00:12:11.780 --> 00:12:12.460
 The promise

00:12:12.460 --> 00:12:13.540
 and the assurance

00:12:13.539 --> 00:12:14.199
 of a world

00:12:14.199 --> 00:12:14.899
 and a people

00:12:14.899 --> 00:12:15.980
 who will one day

00:12:15.980 --> 00:12:17.659
 experience God's glory

00:12:17.659 --> 00:12:19.120
 in all its fullness.

00:12:20.860 --> 00:12:22.259
 And so with our feet

00:12:22.259 --> 00:12:23.439
 firmly fixed

00:12:23.439 --> 00:12:24.500
 in this life

00:12:24.500 --> 00:12:26.079
 but with our eyes

00:12:26.079 --> 00:12:27.099
 firmly fixed

00:12:27.099 --> 00:12:28.059
 on the life

00:12:28.059 --> 00:12:28.699
 to come

00:12:28.699 --> 00:12:29.959
 he says

00:12:29.959 --> 00:12:31.179
 in chapter 8

00:12:31.179 --> 00:12:32.939
 verse 18

00:12:32.940 --> 00:12:36.840
 I consider

00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:37.960
 that our present

00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:39.000
 sufferings

00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:40.880
 are not worth

00:12:40.880 --> 00:12:41.640
 comparing

00:12:41.640 --> 00:12:43.260
 with the glory

00:12:43.260 --> 00:12:45.000
 that will be revealed

00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:46.380
 in us.

00:12:47.380 --> 00:12:48.140
 Compared

00:12:48.140 --> 00:12:49.620
 contrasting

00:12:49.620 --> 00:12:50.420
 what we have

00:12:50.420 --> 00:12:50.980
 today

00:12:50.980 --> 00:12:53.180
 and the glory

00:12:53.180 --> 00:12:54.220
 that is to come

00:12:54.220 --> 00:12:56.520
 it's not worth

00:12:56.520 --> 00:12:57.100
 comparing.

00:12:57.100 --> 00:12:59.639
 Christians

00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:00.360
 are people

00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:01.300
 who are moving

00:13:01.300 --> 00:13:02.379
 from groaning

00:13:02.379 --> 00:13:03.920
 into glory.

00:13:04.920 --> 00:13:05.879
 Well let's see

00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:06.480
 how this

00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:07.759
 is worked out

00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:09.100
 in three stages.

00:13:10.139 --> 00:13:10.779
 Firstly

00:13:10.779 --> 00:13:11.680
 creation

00:13:11.680 --> 00:13:12.639
 groans

00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:13.580
 for glory.

00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:14.440
 All around us

00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:15.480
 we see the signs

00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:16.379
 of a broken

00:13:16.379 --> 00:13:17.779
 and a decaying

00:13:17.779 --> 00:13:18.159
 world.

00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:19.100
 Verse 20

00:13:19.100 --> 00:13:21.080
 chapter 8

00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:22.920
 for the creation

00:13:22.920 --> 00:13:23.680
 was subjected

00:13:23.680 --> 00:13:24.480
 to frustration

00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:25.560
 not by its own

00:13:25.560 --> 00:13:26.060
 choice

00:13:26.060 --> 00:13:27.540
 but by the will

00:13:27.540 --> 00:13:28.160
 of the one

00:13:28.160 --> 00:13:29.220
 who subjected it

00:13:29.220 --> 00:13:30.180
 in hope

00:13:30.180 --> 00:13:31.400
 that creation

00:13:31.400 --> 00:13:32.060
 itself

00:13:32.060 --> 00:13:33.200
 will be liberated

00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:34.560
 from its bondage

00:13:34.560 --> 00:13:35.740
 to decay.

00:13:36.780 --> 00:13:37.820
 The story

00:13:37.820 --> 00:13:38.360
 at the beginning

00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:39.220
 of Genesis

00:13:39.220 --> 00:13:40.060
 in the Garden

00:13:40.060 --> 00:13:40.500
 of Eden

00:13:40.500 --> 00:13:41.200
 we had Adam

00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:41.600
 and Eve

00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:42.700
 where they enjoyed

00:13:42.700 --> 00:13:43.340
 a world

00:13:43.340 --> 00:13:44.280
 which reflected

00:13:44.280 --> 00:13:45.600
 the glory of God.

00:13:46.340 --> 00:13:46.980
 It was full

00:13:46.980 --> 00:13:47.640
 of beauty

00:13:47.640 --> 00:13:49.759
 everything in harmony

00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:50.900
 with its creator

00:13:50.899 --> 00:13:52.259
 there was no death

00:13:52.259 --> 00:13:53.459
 there was no disease

00:13:53.459 --> 00:13:54.759
 there was no decay

00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:56.559
 there was enjoyment

00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:57.399
 with God

00:13:57.399 --> 00:13:59.000
 but then

00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:00.039
 they exchanged

00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:01.039
 God's glory

00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:01.519
 didn't they?

00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:02.919
 They substituted God

00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:03.559
 for things

00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:04.379
 and for people

00:14:04.379 --> 00:14:05.779
 and when that happened

00:14:05.779 --> 00:14:07.199
 the physical world

00:14:07.199 --> 00:14:07.860
 broke.

00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:10.159
 We read

00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:11.179
 in Genesis 3

00:14:11.179 --> 00:14:11.819
 that God

00:14:11.819 --> 00:14:12.480
 cursed

00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:13.419
 the world.

00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:15.179
 It was not just

00:14:15.179 --> 00:14:16.000
 a cause

00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:16.899
 an effect

00:14:16.899 --> 00:14:17.579
 result

00:14:17.579 --> 00:14:19.319
 but God

00:14:19.319 --> 00:14:20.439
 at work

00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:21.460
 in the world

00:14:21.460 --> 00:14:22.360
 verse 20

00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:24.980
 for the creation

00:14:24.980 --> 00:14:25.820
 was subjected

00:14:25.820 --> 00:14:26.680
 to frustration

00:14:26.680 --> 00:14:28.600
 not by its own

00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:29.200
 choice

00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:31.540
 but by the will

00:14:31.540 --> 00:14:32.580
 of the one

00:14:32.580 --> 00:14:33.900
 who subjected it

00:14:33.900 --> 00:14:35.880
 and ever since

00:14:35.880 --> 00:14:36.500
 that day

00:14:36.500 --> 00:14:37.440
 we have felt

00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:38.700
 and experiences

00:14:38.700 --> 00:14:40.340
 the consequences

00:14:40.340 --> 00:14:41.960
 and we were

00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:42.780
 reminded of it

00:14:42.780 --> 00:14:43.620
 two weeks ago

00:14:43.620 --> 00:14:44.500
 as an earthquake

00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:45.320
 ripped through

00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:46.100
 Christ Church

00:14:46.100 --> 00:14:46.899
 in New Zealand

00:14:46.899 --> 00:14:49.600
 the plates

00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:50.519
 that moved

00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:52.080
 underground

00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:53.300
 were an outworking

00:14:53.300 --> 00:14:54.620
 of that initial

00:14:54.620 --> 00:14:55.180
 curse

00:14:55.180 --> 00:14:56.500
 God who had

00:14:56.500 --> 00:14:57.940
 frustrated the world

00:14:57.940 --> 00:15:00.060
 we see it

00:15:00.060 --> 00:15:00.560
 in parts

00:15:00.560 --> 00:15:01.280
 of Africa

00:15:01.280 --> 00:15:02.360
 as thousands

00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:03.020
 and millions

00:15:03.020 --> 00:15:04.060
 live with drought

00:15:04.060 --> 00:15:05.860
 some parts

00:15:05.860 --> 00:15:06.600
 of that vast

00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:07.120
 continent

00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:07.820
 haven't seen

00:15:07.820 --> 00:15:08.500
 a raindrop

00:15:08.500 --> 00:15:09.380
 in years

00:15:09.380 --> 00:15:11.200
 some parts

00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:12.300
 in decades

00:15:12.300 --> 00:15:13.780
 the land

00:15:13.780 --> 00:15:14.460
 is barren

00:15:14.460 --> 00:15:15.120
 and cracked

00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:16.420
 dried bones

00:15:16.420 --> 00:15:17.380
 litter the landscape

00:15:17.380 --> 00:15:18.200
 as children

00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:19.260
 die as quick

00:15:19.260 --> 00:15:20.000
 as they are born

00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.220
 with no food

00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:23.000
 or water

00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:25.759
 and in contrast

00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:26.759
 in another part

00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:27.220
 of the world

00:15:27.220 --> 00:15:28.039
 in Australia

00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:30.100
 we see it's been

00:15:30.100 --> 00:15:30.720
 submerged

00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:32.039
 through extensive

00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:32.559
 flooding

00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:33.759
 homes

00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:34.840
 towns

00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:36.059
 whole cities

00:15:36.059 --> 00:15:36.919
 destroyed

00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:38.080
 in what seemed

00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:39.000
 like an endless

00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:39.539
 flood

00:15:39.539 --> 00:15:42.000
 and that's not

00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:42.559
 to mention

00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:43.779
 the ongoing cycle

00:15:43.779 --> 00:15:44.539
 of hurricanes

00:15:44.539 --> 00:15:45.480
 and tsunamis

00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:46.600
 and typhoons

00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:47.879
 and other destructive

00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:48.779
 weather patterns

00:15:48.779 --> 00:15:49.899
 the world

00:15:49.899 --> 00:15:51.200
 verse 21

00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:52.879
 is in bondage

00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:54.080
 to decay

00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:55.820
 the glory

00:15:55.820 --> 00:15:57.179
 has gone

00:15:57.179 --> 00:15:59.039
 and the curse

00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:00.659
 is at work

00:16:00.659 --> 00:16:03.439
 so what are we

00:16:03.439 --> 00:16:03.860
 to make

00:16:03.860 --> 00:16:04.799
 of all of this

00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:07.439
 well all this

00:16:07.439 --> 00:16:08.100
 groaning

00:16:08.100 --> 00:16:09.100
 in the physical

00:16:09.100 --> 00:16:09.659
 world

00:16:09.659 --> 00:16:11.379
 is a sign

00:16:11.379 --> 00:16:12.620
 of the glory

00:16:12.620 --> 00:16:13.919
 that is to come

00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:15.419
 look at verse 22

00:16:15.419 --> 00:16:17.799
 we know

00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:19.120
 that the whole

00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:19.799
 creation

00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:21.340
 has been groaning

00:16:21.340 --> 00:16:22.700
 as in the

00:16:22.700 --> 00:16:23.340
 pains of

00:16:23.340 --> 00:16:24.200
 childbirth

00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:24.899
 right up

00:16:24.899 --> 00:16:25.560
 to the present

00:16:25.560 --> 00:16:26.080
 time

00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:28.100
 now for those

00:16:28.100 --> 00:16:29.060
 who've experienced

00:16:29.060 --> 00:16:30.280
 the maternity ward

00:16:30.280 --> 00:16:30.680
 you'll know

00:16:30.680 --> 00:16:31.560
 that it's a place

00:16:31.560 --> 00:16:32.460
 where we see

00:16:32.460 --> 00:16:34.000
 and perhaps hear

00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:35.160
 a lot of

00:16:35.160 --> 00:16:35.740
 groaning

00:16:35.740 --> 00:16:37.019
 and glory

00:16:37.019 --> 00:16:39.060
 before the glory

00:16:39.060 --> 00:16:39.720
 of holding

00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:40.720
 a newborn baby

00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:41.860
 in your arms

00:16:41.860 --> 00:16:43.460
 comes the groaning

00:16:43.460 --> 00:16:44.120
 and agony

00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:45.100
 of giving birth

00:16:45.100 --> 00:16:47.720
 but it's a pain

00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:48.379
 that is full

00:16:48.379 --> 00:16:49.040
 of hope

00:16:49.040 --> 00:16:50.200
 because you know

00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:51.159
 that at the end

00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:51.620
 of it all

00:16:51.620 --> 00:16:52.540
 you will hold

00:16:52.540 --> 00:16:53.720
 a new life

00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:55.420
 in your arms

00:16:55.420 --> 00:16:58.540
 in the same way

00:16:58.540 --> 00:16:59.399
 the groaning

00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:00.759
 in this world

00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:02.360
 the earthquakes

00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:03.480
 the volcanoes

00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:04.500
 the destructive

00:17:04.500 --> 00:17:05.539
 weather patterns

00:17:05.539 --> 00:17:07.279
 is like

00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:08.500
 birth pains

00:17:08.500 --> 00:17:10.740
 it is all

00:17:10.740 --> 00:17:11.460
 signs

00:17:11.460 --> 00:17:12.519
 of a new

00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:13.720
 and a perfect

00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:14.359
 world

00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:15.319
 to come

00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:16.579
 verse 21

00:17:16.579 --> 00:17:19.859
 creation

00:17:19.859 --> 00:17:20.740
 itself

00:17:20.740 --> 00:17:21.819
 will be

00:17:21.819 --> 00:17:22.619
 liberated

00:17:22.619 --> 00:17:23.279
 from its

00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:23.980
 bondage

00:17:23.980 --> 00:17:24.660
 to decay

00:17:24.660 --> 00:17:25.920
 and brought

00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:26.420
 into the

00:17:26.420 --> 00:17:26.900
 glorious

00:17:26.900 --> 00:17:27.619
 freedom

00:17:27.619 --> 00:17:28.720
 of the

00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:29.339
 children of

00:17:29.339 --> 00:17:29.700
 God

00:17:29.700 --> 00:17:31.680
 with every

00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:32.319
 earthquake

00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:33.740
 with every

00:17:33.740 --> 00:17:34.480
 storm

00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:35.160
 with every

00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:36.279
 lightning bolt

00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:37.200
 it's like

00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:37.859
 creation

00:17:37.859 --> 00:17:38.759
 crying out

00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:39.299
 in pain

00:17:39.299 --> 00:17:40.159
 shouting

00:17:40.159 --> 00:17:40.599
 at the

00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:40.939
 world

00:17:40.939 --> 00:17:42.219
 telling us

00:17:42.219 --> 00:17:44.599
 that glory

00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:46.339
 is coming

00:17:46.339 --> 00:17:48.159
 one day

00:17:48.159 --> 00:17:49.039
 there is going

00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:49.740
 to be a world

00:17:49.740 --> 00:17:50.259
 where there will

00:17:50.259 --> 00:17:50.979
 be no more

00:17:50.979 --> 00:17:51.659
 earthquakes

00:17:51.659 --> 00:17:53.000
 no more

00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:53.419
 drought

00:17:53.419 --> 00:17:55.119
 and no more

00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:55.599
 flooding

00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:57.500
 creation

00:17:57.500 --> 00:17:58.959
 is moving

00:17:58.959 --> 00:17:59.819
 progressively

00:17:59.819 --> 00:18:01.500
 from groaning

00:18:01.500 --> 00:18:03.240
 into glory

00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:08.059
 but it's not

00:18:08.059 --> 00:18:08.519
 just

00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:10.259
 creation

00:18:10.259 --> 00:18:12.220
 Christians

00:18:12.220 --> 00:18:13.000
 also

00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:13.640
 groan

00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:14.779
 for glory

00:18:14.779 --> 00:18:16.599
 not just

00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:17.160
 the physical

00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:17.620
 world

00:18:17.620 --> 00:18:18.059
 in which

00:18:18.059 --> 00:18:18.539
 we live

00:18:18.539 --> 00:18:19.319
 but our

00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:19.720
 own

00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:20.299
 bodies

00:18:20.299 --> 00:18:20.880
 suffer

00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:21.460
 as well

00:18:21.460 --> 00:18:21.839
 look at

00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:22.680
 verse 23

00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:24.839
 not only

00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:25.359
 so

00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:27.079
 but we

00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:27.680
 ourselves

00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:28.259
 who have

00:18:28.259 --> 00:18:28.859
 the first

00:18:28.859 --> 00:18:29.460
 fruits of

00:18:29.460 --> 00:18:30.140
 the spirit

00:18:30.140 --> 00:18:31.460
 groan

00:18:31.460 --> 00:18:32.500
 inwardly

00:18:32.500 --> 00:18:33.840
 as we

00:18:33.840 --> 00:18:34.200
 wait

00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:34.860
 eagerly

00:18:34.860 --> 00:18:35.279
 for our

00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:35.779
 adoption

00:18:35.779 --> 00:18:36.340
 of sons

00:18:36.340 --> 00:18:37.059
 the redemption

00:18:37.059 --> 00:18:37.960
 of our

00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:38.480
 bodies

00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:40.759
 it's a

00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:41.440
 reality of

00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:41.799
 life

00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:42.160
 isn't it

00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:42.539
 that the

00:18:42.539 --> 00:18:43.279
 moment we

00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:43.960
 are born

00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:46.120
 we begin

00:18:46.120 --> 00:18:46.759
 to die

00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:48.079
 that is the

00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:48.819
 process of

00:18:48.819 --> 00:18:49.240
 life

00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:50.960
 we don't

00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:51.319
 like to

00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:51.940
 talk about

00:18:51.940 --> 00:18:52.360
 death

00:18:52.360 --> 00:18:53.180
 but it's

00:18:53.180 --> 00:18:54.000
 too real

00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:54.460
 for us

00:18:54.460 --> 00:18:55.100
 to avoid

00:18:55.100 --> 00:18:56.799
 I was

00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:57.519
 reminded of

00:18:57.519 --> 00:18:57.860
 it again

00:18:57.860 --> 00:18:58.340
 this week

00:18:58.340 --> 00:18:58.620
 as I

00:18:58.620 --> 00:18:59.120
 stood with

00:18:59.120 --> 00:18:59.660
 a friend

00:18:59.660 --> 00:19:00.900
 who buried

00:19:00.900 --> 00:19:01.500
 his mum

00:19:01.500 --> 00:19:03.779
 very well

00:19:03.779 --> 00:19:05.019
 before the

00:19:05.019 --> 00:19:05.500
 weekend

00:19:05.500 --> 00:19:06.820
 and then

00:19:06.820 --> 00:19:07.580
 died very

00:19:07.580 --> 00:19:08.120
 suddenly

00:19:08.120 --> 00:19:09.840
 somewhere

00:19:09.840 --> 00:19:10.720
 along the

00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:11.300
 course of

00:19:11.300 --> 00:19:11.680
 life

00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:12.820
 things begin

00:19:12.820 --> 00:19:13.400
 to slow

00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:13.840
 down

00:19:13.840 --> 00:19:15.300
 our vital

00:19:15.300 --> 00:19:15.840
 organs

00:19:15.840 --> 00:19:16.700
 don't function

00:19:16.700 --> 00:19:17.120
 as they

00:19:17.120 --> 00:19:17.540
 should

00:19:17.540 --> 00:19:18.480
 our

00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:19.240
 faculties

00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:19.800
 begin to

00:19:19.800 --> 00:19:20.700
 deteriorate

00:19:20.700 --> 00:19:22.480
 it may

00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:23.080
 happen at

00:19:23.080 --> 00:19:23.519
 birth

00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:25.060
 a rare

00:19:25.060 --> 00:19:25.600
 disease

00:19:25.600 --> 00:19:26.040
 or a

00:19:26.040 --> 00:19:26.380
 syndrome

00:19:26.380 --> 00:19:27.100
 because the

00:19:27.100 --> 00:19:27.560
 genes

00:19:27.560 --> 00:19:28.340
 somehow got

00:19:28.340 --> 00:19:28.960
 twisted

00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:31.200
 it may

00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:31.759
 happen as

00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:32.200
 we grow

00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:32.700
 old

00:19:32.700 --> 00:19:33.579
 aches

00:19:33.579 --> 00:19:34.380
 and pains

00:19:34.380 --> 00:19:35.019
 increase

00:19:35.019 --> 00:19:35.680
 sometimes

00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:36.440
 they go

00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:37.299
 only to

00:19:37.299 --> 00:19:37.840
 return

00:19:37.840 --> 00:19:38.900
 with greater

00:19:38.900 --> 00:19:39.539
 force

00:19:39.539 --> 00:19:41.240
 cancers

00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:41.860
 grow

00:19:41.860 --> 00:19:42.940
 and spread

00:19:42.940 --> 00:19:44.900
 and eventually

00:19:44.900 --> 00:19:46.180
 our physical

00:19:46.180 --> 00:19:46.740
 bodies

00:19:46.740 --> 00:19:47.440
 fail

00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:48.579
 look at what

00:19:48.579 --> 00:19:48.960
 it says

00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:49.340
 in verse

00:19:49.340 --> 00:19:49.980
 23

00:19:49.980 --> 00:19:52.000
 we groan

00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:53.600
 inwardly

00:19:53.600 --> 00:19:55.120
 every ache

00:19:55.120 --> 00:19:56.200
 and every

00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:56.840
 pain

00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:58.279
 is a cry

00:19:58.279 --> 00:19:58.779
 and a

00:19:58.779 --> 00:19:59.339
 reminder

00:19:59.339 --> 00:19:59.839
 that our

00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:00.240
 bodies

00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:00.679
 don't

00:20:00.679 --> 00:20:01.079
 work

00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:01.639
 and they

00:20:01.639 --> 00:20:01.939
 don't

00:20:01.939 --> 00:20:02.500
 function

00:20:02.500 --> 00:20:02.919
 the way

00:20:02.919 --> 00:20:03.139
 they

00:20:03.139 --> 00:20:03.659
 should

00:20:03.659 --> 00:20:05.839
 the glory

00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:06.819
 has gone

00:20:06.819 --> 00:20:07.939
 and the

00:20:07.939 --> 00:20:08.519
 curse

00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:09.639
 is at

00:20:09.639 --> 00:20:10.119
 work

00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:12.159
 and what

00:20:12.159 --> 00:20:12.539
 are we to

00:20:12.539 --> 00:20:13.159
 make of all

00:20:13.159 --> 00:20:13.819
 this suffering

00:20:13.819 --> 00:20:14.639
 that so many

00:20:14.639 --> 00:20:15.279
 people have

00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:16.000
 to endure

00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:18.319
 well for the

00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:19.319
 unbeliever

00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:20.459
 the person who

00:20:20.459 --> 00:20:21.339
 is not yet a

00:20:21.339 --> 00:20:21.699
 Christian

00:20:21.699 --> 00:20:22.799
 it's completely

00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:23.439
 hopeless

00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:24.840
 it's just an

00:20:24.840 --> 00:20:25.799
 empty cycle

00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:26.380
 of life

00:20:26.380 --> 00:20:27.160
 we've come

00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:27.860
 from nowhere

00:20:27.860 --> 00:20:28.779
 we're going

00:20:28.779 --> 00:20:29.259
 nowhere

00:20:29.259 --> 00:20:30.220
 and these

00:20:30.220 --> 00:20:30.940
 things just

00:20:30.940 --> 00:20:31.420
 happen

00:20:31.420 --> 00:20:34.400
 but for the

00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:34.960
 Christian

00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:36.600
 it is so

00:20:36.600 --> 00:20:37.100
 much

00:20:37.100 --> 00:20:37.720
 more

00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:39.500
 look at the

00:20:39.500 --> 00:20:39.860
 end of

00:20:39.860 --> 00:20:40.740
 verse 23

00:20:40.740 --> 00:20:44.360
 as we

00:20:44.360 --> 00:20:44.799
 groan

00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:45.600
 inwardly

00:20:45.600 --> 00:20:47.200
 we wait

00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:48.160
 eagerly

00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:49.019
 for our

00:20:49.019 --> 00:20:49.740
 adoption

00:20:49.740 --> 00:20:50.799
 as sons

00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:51.779
 and the

00:20:51.779 --> 00:20:52.279
 redemption

00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:53.339
 of our

00:20:53.339 --> 00:20:53.879
 bodies

00:20:53.879 --> 00:20:55.619
 yes we

00:20:55.619 --> 00:20:56.200
 know from

00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:57.019
 chapter 8

00:20:57.019 --> 00:20:58.500
 verse 15

00:20:58.500 --> 00:21:00.759
 that we

00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:01.899
 have been

00:21:01.899 --> 00:21:02.740
 adopted into

00:21:02.740 --> 00:21:03.180
 God's

00:21:03.180 --> 00:21:03.639
 family

00:21:03.639 --> 00:21:05.259
 yes we

00:21:05.259 --> 00:21:06.139
 have been

00:21:06.139 --> 00:21:06.839
 redeemed

00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:08.000
 but that

00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:09.119
 experience is

00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:10.099
 only partial

00:21:10.099 --> 00:21:12.259
 each aching

00:21:12.259 --> 00:21:12.799
 cry

00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:14.039
 each shout

00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:14.799
 of pain

00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:15.960
 is a

00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:16.539
 groan

00:21:16.539 --> 00:21:17.799
 not just

00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:18.460
 of empty

00:21:18.460 --> 00:21:18.980
 suffering

00:21:18.980 --> 00:21:19.440
 but of

00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:20.200
 anticipation

00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:21.039
 for the

00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:21.559
 day

00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:22.220
 when we

00:21:22.220 --> 00:21:22.759
 will enter

00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:23.400
 into the

00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:23.799
 fullness

00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:24.519
 of our

00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:25.039
 adoption

00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:25.920
 and our

00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:26.380
 redemption

00:21:26.380 --> 00:21:27.880
 our cries

00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:28.279
 and our

00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:28.720
 pain

00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:29.440
 are not

00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:29.960
 empty

00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:30.660
 and hopeless

00:21:30.660 --> 00:21:31.519
 they are

00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:32.200
 cries of

00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:33.420
 expectation

00:21:33.420 --> 00:21:34.799
 for what

00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:35.140
 is to

00:21:35.140 --> 00:21:35.519
 come

00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:37.460
 again look

00:21:37.460 --> 00:21:37.779
 what it

00:21:37.779 --> 00:21:38.279
 says in

00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:39.080
 verse 23

00:21:39.080 --> 00:21:39.620
 it says

00:21:39.620 --> 00:21:40.480
 we have

00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:41.180
 the first

00:21:41.180 --> 00:21:41.740
 fruits

00:21:41.740 --> 00:21:42.660
 of the

00:21:42.660 --> 00:21:43.220
 spirit

00:21:43.220 --> 00:21:44.140
 the holy

00:21:44.140 --> 00:21:44.620
 spirit

00:21:44.620 --> 00:21:45.220
 in us

00:21:45.220 --> 00:21:46.200
 is a

00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:46.640
 mark

00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:47.319
 it's a

00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:47.880
 sign

00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:48.299
 and a

00:21:48.299 --> 00:21:48.640
 seal

00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:49.080
 on our

00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:49.500
 lives

00:21:49.500 --> 00:21:49.960
 that

00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:50.319
 one

00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:50.559
 day

00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:50.779
 we

00:21:50.779 --> 00:21:50.960
 will

00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:51.679
 experience

00:21:51.679 --> 00:21:52.119
 the

00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:52.579
 redemption

00:21:52.579 --> 00:21:53.240
 of our

00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:53.639
 bodies

00:21:53.639 --> 00:21:54.079
 in all

00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:54.299
 its

00:21:54.299 --> 00:21:54.699
 fullness

00:21:54.699 --> 00:21:55.599
 and

00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:56.359
 completeness

00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:58.139
 look back

00:21:58.139 --> 00:21:58.559
 at verse

00:21:58.559 --> 00:21:59.119
 11 of

00:21:59.119 --> 00:21:59.980
 chapter 8

00:21:59.980 --> 00:22:02.859
 here is

00:22:02.859 --> 00:22:03.759
 real hope

00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:06.179
 as we

00:22:06.179 --> 00:22:07.039
 live with

00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:07.699
 our aching

00:22:07.699 --> 00:22:08.359
 and suffering

00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:09.059
 bodies

00:22:09.059 --> 00:22:10.879
 verse 11

00:22:10.879 --> 00:22:11.799
 if the

00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:12.500
 spirit

00:22:12.500 --> 00:22:13.460
 of him

00:22:13.460 --> 00:22:14.799
 who raised

00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:15.720
 Jesus from

00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:16.319
 the dead

00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:17.539
 is living

00:22:17.539 --> 00:22:17.559
 is living

00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:18.259
 in you

00:22:18.259 --> 00:22:20.139
 he who

00:22:20.139 --> 00:22:20.599
 raised

00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:21.259
 Christ

00:22:21.259 --> 00:22:22.039
 from the

00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:22.419
 dead

00:22:22.419 --> 00:22:24.759
 will also

00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:25.579
 give life

00:22:25.579 --> 00:22:26.200
 to your

00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:27.399
 mortal bodies

00:22:27.399 --> 00:22:28.639
 through his

00:22:28.639 --> 00:22:29.179
 spirit

00:22:29.179 --> 00:22:30.419
 who lives

00:22:30.419 --> 00:22:31.779
 in you

00:22:31.779 --> 00:22:34.899
 just as

00:22:34.899 --> 00:22:35.460
 Christ

00:22:35.460 --> 00:22:36.460
 was raised

00:22:36.460 --> 00:22:37.139
 from the

00:22:37.139 --> 00:22:37.519
 dead

00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:38.720
 just as

00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:39.659
 the spirit's

00:22:39.659 --> 00:22:40.519
 power raised

00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:40.980
 Christ

00:22:40.980 --> 00:22:41.879
 so with

00:22:41.879 --> 00:22:42.539
 that same

00:22:42.539 --> 00:22:43.279
 spirit in

00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:43.519
 us

00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:44.559
 we also

00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:45.420
 will rise

00:22:45.420 --> 00:22:47.180
 with a

00:22:47.180 --> 00:22:47.819
 brand new

00:22:47.819 --> 00:22:48.240
 body

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:49.279
 just like

00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:49.700
 the Lord

00:22:49.700 --> 00:22:50.079
 Jesus

00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:51.019
 with no

00:22:51.019 --> 00:22:51.879
 more disease

00:22:51.879 --> 00:22:52.940
 no more

00:22:52.940 --> 00:22:53.420
 pain

00:22:53.420 --> 00:22:54.599
 no more

00:22:54.599 --> 00:22:55.220
 cancers

00:22:55.220 --> 00:22:56.639
 and no

00:22:56.639 --> 00:22:57.359
 more death

00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:00.700
 look at the

00:23:00.700 --> 00:23:01.059
 end of

00:23:01.059 --> 00:23:01.980
 verse 24

00:23:01.980 --> 00:23:04.460
 who hopes

00:23:04.460 --> 00:23:06.019
 for what

00:23:06.019 --> 00:23:06.599
 they already

00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:07.200
 have

00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:10.359
 but if we

00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:10.920
 hope for

00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:11.519
 what we do

00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:12.099
 not yet

00:23:12.099 --> 00:23:12.559
 have

00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:14.000
 we wait

00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:14.339
 for it

00:23:14.339 --> 00:23:14.859
 patiently

00:23:14.859 --> 00:23:17.379
 we don't

00:23:17.379 --> 00:23:17.939
 want

00:23:17.939 --> 00:23:19.619
 what we

00:23:19.619 --> 00:23:20.299
 see around

00:23:20.299 --> 00:23:20.959
 us

00:23:20.959 --> 00:23:22.659
 because what's

00:23:22.659 --> 00:23:23.279
 around us

00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:23.980
 is broken

00:23:23.980 --> 00:23:24.980
 it's frail

00:23:24.980 --> 00:23:27.279
 we hope

00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:27.919
 for what is

00:23:27.919 --> 00:23:28.500
 to come

00:23:28.500 --> 00:23:30.139
 for what is

00:23:30.139 --> 00:23:30.639
 to come

00:23:30.639 --> 00:23:31.699
 is eternal

00:23:31.699 --> 00:23:33.379
 this life

00:23:33.379 --> 00:23:33.819
 that we

00:23:33.819 --> 00:23:34.240
 live in

00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:34.879
 is marked

00:23:34.879 --> 00:23:35.619
 not with

00:23:35.619 --> 00:23:36.159
 glory

00:23:36.159 --> 00:23:37.299
 but with

00:23:37.299 --> 00:23:37.959
 a curse

00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:39.779
 and so

00:23:39.779 --> 00:23:40.259
 we wait

00:23:40.259 --> 00:23:41.100
 patiently

00:23:41.100 --> 00:23:42.779
 in expectation

00:23:42.779 --> 00:23:43.660
 and in

00:23:43.660 --> 00:23:44.460
 anticipation

00:23:44.460 --> 00:23:46.420
 of what

00:23:46.420 --> 00:23:46.840
 will be

00:23:46.840 --> 00:23:47.380
 ours

00:23:47.380 --> 00:23:48.140
 one day

00:23:48.140 --> 00:23:50.079
 creation

00:23:50.079 --> 00:23:51.640
 moves

00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:52.720
 from groaning

00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:53.640
 to glory

00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:54.860
 and Christians

00:23:54.860 --> 00:23:55.759
 because we

00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:56.160
 have the

00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:56.940
 spirit within

00:23:56.940 --> 00:23:57.279
 us

00:23:57.279 --> 00:23:58.740
 are moving

00:23:58.740 --> 00:23:59.700
 from groaning

00:23:59.700 --> 00:24:01.160
 to glory

00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:02.160
 glory

00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:05.920
 where the

00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:06.740
 experience

00:24:06.740 --> 00:24:07.440
 of suffering

00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:07.860
 in this

00:24:07.860 --> 00:24:08.259
 world

00:24:08.259 --> 00:24:08.600
 and in

00:24:08.600 --> 00:24:09.320
 our lives

00:24:09.320 --> 00:24:11.200
 has become

00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:12.420
 so intense

00:24:12.420 --> 00:24:12.980
 that we

00:24:12.980 --> 00:24:13.480
 can feel

00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:13.920
 utterly

00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:14.380
 weak

00:24:14.380 --> 00:24:15.840
 and helpless

00:24:15.840 --> 00:24:18.500
 and because

00:24:18.500 --> 00:24:19.080
 of that

00:24:19.080 --> 00:24:20.480
 we discover

00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:21.060
 that the

00:24:21.060 --> 00:24:22.019
 spirit within

00:24:22.019 --> 00:24:22.420
 us

00:24:22.420 --> 00:24:23.560
 also groans

00:24:23.560 --> 00:24:25.019
 for glory

00:24:25.019 --> 00:24:26.060
 look at

00:24:26.060 --> 00:24:27.279
 verse 26

00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:31.359
 in the

00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:31.980
 same way

00:24:31.980 --> 00:24:32.740
 the spirit

00:24:32.740 --> 00:24:33.599
 helps us

00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:34.559
 in our

00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:34.960
 weakness

00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:36.960
 we do

00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:37.539
 not know

00:24:37.539 --> 00:24:37.980
 what we

00:24:37.980 --> 00:24:38.460
 ought to

00:24:38.460 --> 00:24:39.119
 pray for

00:24:39.119 --> 00:24:40.460
 but the

00:24:40.460 --> 00:24:41.000
 spirit

00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:41.720
 himself

00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:42.720
 intercedes

00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:43.420
 for us

00:24:43.420 --> 00:24:44.639
 with groans

00:24:44.639 --> 00:24:45.539
 that words

00:24:45.539 --> 00:24:46.359
 cannot

00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:47.339
 express

00:24:47.339 --> 00:24:49.899
 as we

00:24:49.899 --> 00:24:50.240
 journey

00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:50.539
 through

00:24:50.539 --> 00:24:51.000
 life

00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:53.000
 if we

00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:53.660
 haven't yet

00:24:53.660 --> 00:24:54.480
 experienced

00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:54.859
 it

00:24:54.859 --> 00:24:57.099
 we will

00:24:57.099 --> 00:24:57.980
 experience

00:24:57.980 --> 00:24:59.199
 all kinds

00:24:59.199 --> 00:24:59.579
 of

00:24:59.579 --> 00:25:00.099
 suffering

00:25:00.099 --> 00:25:01.519
 it

00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:01.879
 can be

00:25:01.879 --> 00:25:02.059
 an

00:25:02.059 --> 00:25:02.539
 illness

00:25:02.539 --> 00:25:03.839
 it

00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:04.119
 could be

00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:04.519
 the loss

00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:04.799
 of a

00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:05.019
 loved

00:25:05.019 --> 00:25:05.359
 one

00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:05.919
 it

00:25:05.919 --> 00:25:06.259
 could be

00:25:06.259 --> 00:25:06.439
 the

00:25:06.439 --> 00:25:07.000
 extreme

00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:07.679
 poverty

00:25:07.679 --> 00:25:08.000
 the

00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:08.539
 wasted

00:25:08.539 --> 00:25:08.980
 life

00:25:08.980 --> 00:25:09.319
 that we

00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:09.619
 see

00:25:09.619 --> 00:25:09.939
 around

00:25:09.939 --> 00:25:10.179
 our

00:25:10.179 --> 00:25:10.539
 world

00:25:10.539 --> 00:25:11.339
 and at

00:25:11.339 --> 00:25:11.859
 times

00:25:11.859 --> 00:25:12.419
 all of

00:25:12.419 --> 00:25:12.619
 these

00:25:12.619 --> 00:25:12.939
 things

00:25:12.939 --> 00:25:13.299
 can be

00:25:13.299 --> 00:25:13.539
 too

00:25:13.539 --> 00:25:13.839
 much

00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:14.419
 for us

00:25:14.419 --> 00:25:15.539
 it's

00:25:15.539 --> 00:25:16.480
 overwhelming

00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:17.939
 all the

00:25:17.939 --> 00:25:18.399
 suffering

00:25:18.399 --> 00:25:18.759
 in the

00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:19.099
 world

00:25:19.099 --> 00:25:19.879
 we feel

00:25:19.879 --> 00:25:20.399
 broken

00:25:20.399 --> 00:25:20.819
 and we

00:25:20.819 --> 00:25:21.139
 feel

00:25:21.139 --> 00:25:21.740
 defeated

00:25:21.740 --> 00:25:22.939
 the

00:25:22.939 --> 00:25:23.399
 glory

00:25:23.399 --> 00:25:23.759
 has

00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:24.319
 gone

00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:25.139
 and it's

00:25:25.139 --> 00:25:25.539
 like the

00:25:25.539 --> 00:25:26.000
 weight

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:26.379
 of the

00:25:26.379 --> 00:25:26.819
 curse

00:25:26.819 --> 00:25:28.019
 is crushing

00:25:28.019 --> 00:25:28.599
 down upon

00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:29.019
 us

00:25:29.019 --> 00:25:30.019
 and crushing

00:25:30.019 --> 00:25:30.619
 down upon

00:25:30.619 --> 00:25:31.339
 the world

00:25:31.339 --> 00:25:34.919
 but into

00:25:34.919 --> 00:25:35.980
 our helplessness

00:25:35.980 --> 00:25:37.299
 comes the

00:25:37.299 --> 00:25:37.879
 spirit

00:25:37.879 --> 00:25:39.799
 literally

00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:41.579
 he comes

00:25:41.579 --> 00:25:42.220
 alongside

00:25:42.220 --> 00:25:43.679
 he joins

00:25:43.679 --> 00:25:44.399
 in

00:25:44.399 --> 00:25:45.500
 with our

00:25:45.500 --> 00:25:45.960
 agony

00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:47.200
 and pain

00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:49.039
 that's what's

00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:49.659
 being said

00:25:49.659 --> 00:25:50.099
 here in

00:25:50.099 --> 00:25:51.179
 verse 26

00:25:51.179 --> 00:25:52.379
 the second

00:25:52.379 --> 00:25:52.879
 part

00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:55.080
 the spirit

00:25:55.080 --> 00:25:55.100
 the spirit

00:25:55.100 --> 00:25:56.240
 himself

00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:57.760
 intercedes

00:25:57.760 --> 00:25:59.200
 for us

00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:00.580
 with groans

00:26:00.580 --> 00:26:01.200
 that words

00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:02.360
 cannot express

00:26:02.360 --> 00:26:04.480
 he takes

00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:05.700
 our cries

00:26:05.700 --> 00:26:06.540
 and our

00:26:06.540 --> 00:26:07.080
 shouts

00:26:07.080 --> 00:26:07.800
 of pain

00:26:07.800 --> 00:26:08.980
 he makes

00:26:08.980 --> 00:26:09.440
 them his

00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:10.380
 very own

00:26:10.380 --> 00:26:12.000
 and he

00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:12.760
 prays them

00:26:12.760 --> 00:26:13.160
 out to

00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:13.580
 god

00:26:13.580 --> 00:26:16.020
 our helpless

00:26:16.020 --> 00:26:17.720
 and hopeless

00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:18.420
 groans

00:26:18.420 --> 00:26:20.240
 are taken

00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:20.920
 by the

00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:21.400
 spirit

00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:22.880
 and turned

00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:24.000
 into prayer

00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:25.779
 before god

00:26:25.779 --> 00:26:28.060
 he joins

00:26:28.060 --> 00:26:28.880
 with us

00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:29.480
 in our

00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:29.960
 agony

00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:31.539
 and he

00:26:31.539 --> 00:26:32.519
 prays it

00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:33.680
 to our

00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:34.140
 father

00:26:34.140 --> 00:26:36.300
 but what's

00:26:36.300 --> 00:26:36.740
 happening

00:26:36.740 --> 00:26:37.620
 as he

00:26:37.620 --> 00:26:38.080
 prays

00:26:38.080 --> 00:26:38.600
 what's this

00:26:38.600 --> 00:26:39.340
 mystery

00:26:39.340 --> 00:26:40.320
 of this

00:26:40.320 --> 00:26:40.940
 groaning

00:26:40.940 --> 00:26:42.080
 with words

00:26:42.080 --> 00:26:42.720
 that words

00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:43.620
 cannot express

00:26:43.620 --> 00:26:44.539
 what's being

00:26:44.539 --> 00:26:45.519
 achieved in

00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:46.120
 this prayer

00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:47.219
 well look

00:26:47.219 --> 00:26:48.239
 at verse 27

00:26:48.239 --> 00:26:50.279
 and he

00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:51.199
 who searches

00:26:51.199 --> 00:26:52.079
 our hearts

00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:53.359
 knows the

00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:53.799
 mind of

00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:54.359
 the spirit

00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:55.079
 because the

00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:56.099
 spirit intercedes

00:26:56.099 --> 00:26:57.039
 for the saints

00:26:57.039 --> 00:26:58.019
 in accordance

00:26:58.019 --> 00:26:58.839
 with god's

00:26:58.839 --> 00:26:59.119
 will

00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:02.679
 we're told

00:27:02.679 --> 00:27:03.259
 aren't we

00:27:03.259 --> 00:27:03.939
 here that the

00:27:03.939 --> 00:27:05.479
 spirit intercedes

00:27:05.479 --> 00:27:06.039
 for us

00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:06.959
 he prays on

00:27:06.959 --> 00:27:07.699
 our behalf

00:27:07.699 --> 00:27:09.739
 but we also

00:27:09.739 --> 00:27:10.219
 know

00:27:10.219 --> 00:27:10.939
 and we saw

00:27:10.939 --> 00:27:11.839
 this last week

00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:13.259
 that the spirit

00:27:13.259 --> 00:27:13.899
 in us

00:27:13.899 --> 00:27:15.099
 is the spirit

00:27:15.099 --> 00:27:15.799
 of god

00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:17.779
 that's why

00:27:17.779 --> 00:27:18.359
 it says

00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:20.440
 in verse 27

00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:20.940
 that he

00:27:20.940 --> 00:27:21.839
 knows the

00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:22.259
 mind

00:27:22.259 --> 00:27:23.019
 of the

00:27:23.019 --> 00:27:23.539
 spirit

00:27:23.539 --> 00:27:25.200
 so in

00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:25.619
 effect

00:27:25.619 --> 00:27:26.099
 when the

00:27:26.099 --> 00:27:26.579
 spirit

00:27:26.579 --> 00:27:27.359
 is praying

00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:29.220
 it is

00:27:29.220 --> 00:27:29.940
 god

00:27:29.940 --> 00:27:30.639
 who is

00:27:30.639 --> 00:27:31.000
 praying

00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:31.720
 to god

00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:34.299
 it's not

00:27:34.299 --> 00:27:34.759
 something

00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:35.539
 separate to

00:27:35.539 --> 00:27:35.819
 god

00:27:35.819 --> 00:27:36.740
 it is the

00:27:36.740 --> 00:27:37.440
 spirit of

00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:37.720
 god

00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:38.159
 god

00:27:38.159 --> 00:27:38.779
 himself

00:27:38.779 --> 00:27:39.319
 within

00:27:39.319 --> 00:27:39.779
 us

00:27:39.779 --> 00:27:40.619
 praying

00:27:40.619 --> 00:27:41.339
 to god

00:27:41.339 --> 00:27:43.539
 so it's

00:27:43.539 --> 00:27:44.059
 not just

00:27:44.059 --> 00:27:44.480
 us

00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:45.139
 who feels

00:27:45.139 --> 00:27:45.720
 the weight

00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:46.279
 of the

00:27:46.279 --> 00:27:46.660
 curse

00:27:46.660 --> 00:27:47.400
 it's not

00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:48.160
 just us

00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:48.880
 who feels

00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:49.579
 crushed by

00:27:49.579 --> 00:27:50.140
 the suffering

00:27:50.140 --> 00:27:50.440
 in the

00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:50.839
 world

00:27:50.839 --> 00:27:51.900
 god

00:27:51.900 --> 00:27:52.579
 also

00:27:52.579 --> 00:27:53.339
 groans

00:27:53.339 --> 00:27:54.360
 longing

00:27:54.360 --> 00:27:55.380
 and waiting

00:27:55.380 --> 00:27:56.240
 for the

00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:56.860
 glory to

00:27:56.860 --> 00:27:57.240
 come

00:27:57.240 --> 00:27:59.819
 so these

00:27:59.819 --> 00:28:00.620
 wordless

00:28:00.620 --> 00:28:01.259
 prayers

00:28:01.259 --> 00:28:03.279
 is god

00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:03.819
 within

00:28:03.819 --> 00:28:04.700
 us

00:28:04.700 --> 00:28:06.299
 groaning

00:28:06.299 --> 00:28:06.940
 out to

00:28:06.940 --> 00:28:07.240
 god

00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:07.960
 himself

00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:09.079
 for the

00:28:09.079 --> 00:28:09.819
 fulfillment

00:28:09.819 --> 00:28:10.759
 and the

00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:11.440
 completion

00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:12.559
 of his

00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:13.100
 plan

00:28:13.100 --> 00:28:14.380
 it is

00:28:14.380 --> 00:28:15.059
 god

00:28:15.059 --> 00:28:15.920
 longing

00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:16.519
 for his

00:28:16.519 --> 00:28:17.059
 promised

00:28:17.059 --> 00:28:17.640
 future

00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:18.320
 for he

00:28:18.320 --> 00:28:18.700
 has

00:28:18.700 --> 00:28:19.120
 promised

00:28:19.120 --> 00:28:19.519
 that a

00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:19.880
 day will

00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:20.120
 come

00:28:20.120 --> 00:28:20.299
 when

00:28:20.299 --> 00:28:20.740
 everything

00:28:20.740 --> 00:28:21.120
 will be

00:28:21.120 --> 00:28:21.380
 put

00:28:21.380 --> 00:28:21.799
 right

00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:23.340
 but the

00:28:23.340 --> 00:28:23.820
 prayers

00:28:23.820 --> 00:28:24.240
 that the

00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:24.559
 spirit

00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:24.980
 prays

00:28:24.980 --> 00:28:25.460
 within us

00:28:25.460 --> 00:28:26.039
 is god

00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:26.700
 himself

00:28:26.700 --> 00:28:28.600

00:28:28.600 --> 00:28:29.200
 to god

00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:30.000
 longing

00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:30.500
 for the

00:28:30.500 --> 00:28:31.019
 day when

00:28:31.019 --> 00:28:31.480
 christ

00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:31.900
 will come

00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:41.000
 you but

 god's will

00:28:47.299 --> 00:28:48.680

 god wants

00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:50.220
 is he going

00:28:50.220 --> 00:28:50.900
 to answer

00:28:50.900 --> 00:28:53.759
 well if

 god for

00:28:56.519 --> 00:28:57.059
 us

00:28:57.059 --> 00:28:59.859
 we can be

00:28:59.859 --> 00:29:00.599
 assured that

00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:01.160
 that prayer

00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:01.759
 will be

00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:02.240
 answered

00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:04.079
 god

00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:05.079
 praying to

 we can't get

00:29:16.980 --> 00:29:18.119
 greater assurance

00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:18.839
 than that

00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:21.579
 so creation

00:29:21.579 --> 00:29:23.000
 groans for

00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:23.559
 glory

00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:25.220
 christians are

 groaning for

00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:27.019
 glory and

 within us

00:29:29.619 --> 00:29:31.139
 groans for

00:29:31.139 --> 00:29:31.599

00:29:31.599 --> 00:29:31.740
 glory

00:29:31.740 --> 00:29:36.019
 if anyone

00:29:36.019 --> 00:29:36.919
 suggested to

00:29:36.919 --> 00:29:37.500
 you a couple

00:29:37.500 --> 00:29:37.919
 of weeks

00:29:37.919 --> 00:29:39.459
 ago that

00:29:39.459 --> 00:29:40.139
 ireland was

00:29:40.139 --> 00:29:40.819
 going to win

00:29:40.819 --> 00:29:41.240
 the cricket

00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:42.159
 against england

00:29:42.159 --> 00:29:43.559
 you would

00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:44.139
 have laughed

00:29:44.139 --> 00:29:45.199
 you probably

00:29:45.199 --> 00:29:45.459
 would have

00:29:45.459 --> 00:29:45.939
 said cricket

00:29:45.939 --> 00:29:46.559

00:29:47.099 --> 00:29:47.539
 of it

00:29:47.539 --> 00:29:48.799
 you say

00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:49.179
 it's not

00:29:49.179 --> 00:29:49.779
 possible

00:29:49.779 --> 00:29:51.159
 it's in your

00:29:51.159 --> 00:29:52.059
 dreams for

00:29:52.059 --> 00:29:52.679
 something like

00:29:52.679 --> 00:29:53.059
 that to

00:29:53.059 --> 00:29:53.419
 happen

00:29:53.419 --> 00:29:55.079
 well the

00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:55.799
 suffering that

00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:56.619
 we face in

00:29:56.619 --> 00:29:57.259
 this world

00:29:57.259 --> 00:29:58.459
 can be so

00:29:58.459 --> 00:29:59.059
 heavy

00:29:59.059 --> 00:30:01.480
 that it

00:30:01.480 --> 00:30:03.279
 makes glory

00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:04.659
 seem unreal

00:30:04.659 --> 00:30:05.679
 it makes it

00:30:05.679 --> 00:30:06.200
 seem just

00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:07.039
 not possible

00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:08.299
 our experience

00:30:08.299 --> 00:30:09.259
 in this life

00:30:09.259 --> 00:30:10.079
 of all that

00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:10.720
 goes on

00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:11.960
 it's just a

00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:12.480
 dream

00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:13.319
 the stuff you

00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:13.779
 talk about

00:30:13.779 --> 00:30:14.139
 heaven

00:30:14.139 --> 00:30:15.659
 it can't be

00:30:15.659 --> 00:30:16.079
 true

00:30:16.079 --> 00:30:19.700
 but the gospel

00:30:19.700 --> 00:30:20.399
 doesn't do

00:30:20.399 --> 00:30:21.099
 dreams

00:30:21.099 --> 00:30:21.799
 the gospel

00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:22.480
 isn't about

00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:23.500
 wishful thinking

00:30:23.500 --> 00:30:24.779
 it guarantees

00:30:24.779 --> 00:30:26.319
 and it secures

00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:27.139
 our hope

00:30:27.140 --> 00:30:28.700
 look at

00:30:28.700 --> 00:30:29.500
 verse 29

00:30:29.500 --> 00:30:31.680
 and as we

00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:32.220
 read these

00:30:32.220 --> 00:30:32.740
 couple of

00:30:32.740 --> 00:30:33.100
 verses

00:30:33.100 --> 00:30:34.820
 look at

00:30:34.820 --> 00:30:35.960
 the unbroken

00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:36.780
 chain

00:30:36.780 --> 00:30:38.340
 that starts

00:30:38.340 --> 00:30:39.340
 in eternity

00:30:39.340 --> 00:30:40.140
 past

00:30:40.140 --> 00:30:42.300
 and goes on

00:30:42.300 --> 00:30:43.080
 to eternity

00:30:43.080 --> 00:30:43.880
 to come

00:30:43.880 --> 00:30:45.560
 from eternity

00:30:45.560 --> 00:30:46.259
 past to

00:30:46.259 --> 00:30:46.680
 eternity

00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:47.340
 to come

00:30:47.340 --> 00:30:48.040
 look at

00:30:48.040 --> 00:30:48.880
 verse 29

00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:50.480
 for those

00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:51.000
 God

00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:52.200
 foreknew

00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:54.040
 that doesn't

00:30:54.040 --> 00:30:54.540
 mean that he

00:30:54.540 --> 00:30:55.220
 knows about

00:30:55.220 --> 00:30:55.720
 us in the

00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:56.020
 future

00:30:56.019 --> 00:30:57.240
 it means he

00:30:57.240 --> 00:30:57.920
 knew us

00:30:57.920 --> 00:30:58.599
 personally

00:30:58.599 --> 00:30:59.879
 and intimately

00:30:59.879 --> 00:31:01.099
 in eternity

00:31:01.099 --> 00:31:01.559
 past

00:31:01.559 --> 00:31:02.119
 before we

00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:02.579
 were even

00:31:02.579 --> 00:31:03.079
 born

00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:04.619
 God knew

00:31:04.619 --> 00:31:05.220
 us

00:31:05.220 --> 00:31:07.619
 for those

00:31:07.619 --> 00:31:07.940
 God

00:31:07.940 --> 00:31:08.400
 foreknew

00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:09.039
 he also

00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:09.879
 predestined

00:31:09.879 --> 00:31:11.440
 verse 30

00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:13.099
 those he

00:31:13.099 --> 00:31:13.859
 predestined

00:31:13.859 --> 00:31:14.859
 he also

00:31:14.859 --> 00:31:15.539
 called

00:31:15.539 --> 00:31:17.440
 and those

00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:18.279
 he called

00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:19.839
 he also

00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:20.680
 justified

00:31:20.680 --> 00:31:21.920
 and those

00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:22.759
 he justified

00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:24.259
 he also

00:31:24.259 --> 00:31:25.019
 glorified

00:31:25.019 --> 00:31:25.720
 glorified

00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:27.400
 can you see

00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:28.160
 that unbroken

00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:28.680
 chain

00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:30.359
 from eternity

00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:30.900
 past

00:31:30.900 --> 00:31:31.279
 God

00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:31.799
 foreknew

00:31:31.799 --> 00:31:33.879
 to eternity

00:31:33.879 --> 00:31:34.519
 to come

00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:35.559
 he will

00:31:35.559 --> 00:31:36.299
 glorify

00:31:36.299 --> 00:31:38.099
 God begins

00:31:38.099 --> 00:31:38.940
 the process

00:31:38.940 --> 00:31:39.900
 and God

00:31:39.900 --> 00:31:40.759
 will finish

00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:41.960
 the process

00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:43.160
 and the

00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:43.740
 promise

00:31:43.740 --> 00:31:44.619
 is so

00:31:44.619 --> 00:31:45.240
 sure

00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:46.379
 it is so

00:31:46.379 --> 00:31:47.000
 guaranteed

00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:48.139
 that a

00:31:48.139 --> 00:31:48.599
 future

00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:49.240
 event

00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:51.140
 glory

00:31:51.140 --> 00:31:53.339
 is spoken

00:31:53.339 --> 00:31:54.279
 of as a

00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:54.680
 past

00:31:54.680 --> 00:31:55.140
 event

00:31:55.140 --> 00:31:56.180
 look at the

00:31:56.180 --> 00:31:56.799
 tense of

00:31:56.799 --> 00:31:57.140
 the verb

00:31:57.140 --> 00:31:57.680
 it says

00:31:57.680 --> 00:31:58.620
 glorified

00:31:58.620 --> 00:31:59.799
 it's all

00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:00.799
 past tense

00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:02.420
 so something

00:32:02.420 --> 00:32:02.880
 that we

00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:03.640
 don't yet

00:32:03.640 --> 00:32:04.220
 have

00:32:04.220 --> 00:32:05.339
 he speaks

00:32:05.339 --> 00:32:05.920
 of as if

00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:06.440
 we already

00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:07.099
 have it

00:32:07.099 --> 00:32:09.599
 that is the

00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:10.220
 absolute

00:32:10.220 --> 00:32:11.180
 certainty

00:32:11.180 --> 00:32:12.460
 that the

00:32:12.460 --> 00:32:13.620
 restored glory

00:32:13.620 --> 00:32:14.259
 to come

00:32:14.259 --> 00:32:15.059
 is ours

00:32:15.059 --> 00:32:15.579
 today

00:32:15.579 --> 00:32:18.939
 we don't

00:32:18.939 --> 00:32:19.439
 yet have

00:32:19.439 --> 00:32:19.899
 it in all

00:32:19.899 --> 00:32:20.500
 its fullness

00:32:20.500 --> 00:32:22.079
 and all

00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:22.279
 its

00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:23.119
 completeness

00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:25.259
 but each

00:32:25.259 --> 00:32:25.639
 day

00:32:25.639 --> 00:32:26.399
 little by

00:32:26.399 --> 00:32:26.779
 little

00:32:26.779 --> 00:32:28.259
 we are

00:32:28.259 --> 00:32:28.859
 people who

00:32:28.859 --> 00:32:29.419
 are moving

00:32:29.419 --> 00:32:30.399
 from groaning

00:32:30.399 --> 00:32:32.000
 into glory

00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:34.019
 every day

00:32:34.019 --> 00:32:34.619
 that goes

00:32:34.619 --> 00:32:35.240
 past

00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:36.759
 is not

00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:37.400
 just another

00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:37.859
 day of

00:32:37.859 --> 00:32:38.400
 suffering

00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:39.819
 it is not

00:32:39.819 --> 00:32:40.440
 just another

00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:40.960
 day of

00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:41.660
 living within

00:32:41.660 --> 00:32:42.299
 the curse

00:32:42.299 --> 00:32:42.660
 of this

00:32:42.660 --> 00:32:43.059
 world

00:32:43.059 --> 00:32:44.799
 it is

00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:45.500
 actually a

00:32:45.500 --> 00:32:46.460
 step closer

00:32:46.460 --> 00:32:47.680
 to the

00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:48.119
 glory

00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:49.099
 that is

00:32:49.099 --> 00:32:49.599
 to come

00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:51.900
 let's pray

00:32:51.900 --> 00:32:52.539
 together

00:32:52.539 --> 00:33:09.399
 our

00:33:09.399 --> 00:33:09.680
 father

00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:10.019
 god

 is sure

 that this
