00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.640
 When Nathan texted me several weeks ago and asked me if I would be willing to preach during the Advent season.

00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:20.039
! I was honored for sure, just because I reflect on my life over the past six years as a young believer in the faith.

00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:27.940
 And so often do not feel that I am worthy of standing up here preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to you all.

00:00:27.940 --> 00:00:33.800
 And at the same time, he asked me if I would be interested in preaching on joy or peace.

00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:39.020
 And I felt more confident and prepared in that moment to preach on peace.

00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:43.900
 And as I reflected on that and prayed through that over that week that he had asked me,

00:00:44.900 --> 00:00:53.200
 I decided that I wanted to preach on joy because I don't know or at that time I didn't believe that I fully understood what joy in Christ means.

00:00:53.200 --> 00:01:00.660
 So it was a task that I had an opportunity to take on so that I would understand what joy in the Advent means.

00:01:02.400 --> 00:01:11.300
 So today, that's my hope, is that I would be able to translate to you what I've learned about joy in regards to the coming of Christ.

00:01:11.939 --> 00:01:15.020
 And that your joy would also be made complete in that.

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.879
 So I'll be camping out most of the day or most of the morning in the book of Philippians.

00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.619
 There's not one verse specifically that I'm going to hone in on, which is abnormal.

00:01:24.379 --> 00:01:28.759
 But it is because it's a topical text or a topical sermon on joy.

00:01:29.099 --> 00:01:32.420
 So I'm going to be kind of going through several different verses throughout the Scripture,

00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:35.000
 but predominantly in the book of Philippians.

00:01:35.099 --> 00:01:37.419
 So if you want to find your place there, you can.

00:01:40.699 --> 00:01:44.439
 Philippians is nicknamed the Epistle of Joy.

00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:46.700
 And it's fitting.

00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:57.579
 The word joy or its joy in its verb, rejoice, is found 14 times in the book of Philippians.

00:01:58.859 --> 00:02:02.099
 The word Christ is found 50 times in the book of Philippians.

00:02:02.259 --> 00:02:07.180
 So there is a correlation there that I hope to draw this morning.

00:02:08.740 --> 00:02:11.740
 But I'm going to start with giving you two different definitions of joy.

00:02:11.740 --> 00:02:14.820
 I'm going to give you the world's definition of joy,

00:02:14.980 --> 00:02:19.580
 just simply from a Google search of how do you define joy.

00:02:19.780 --> 00:02:23.400
 How does Google, which I can easily say is a pretty good reflection,

00:02:23.580 --> 00:02:24.879
 what Google does, what they believe,

00:02:24.980 --> 00:02:30.300
 is a pretty good reflection of what the world, by and large, believes and does and thinks.

00:02:31.140 --> 00:02:34.060
 So the Google definition that I found of joy is,

00:02:34.180 --> 00:02:37.680
 it is a feeling of great pleasure and happiness.

00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:43.719
 A feeling of great pleasure and happiness.

00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:47.540
 Something that I kind of thought about that,

00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:49.620
 okay, well, it's a feeling, this is going to be a little bit difficult,

00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:51.860
 because I'm a man, I don't often like to talk about my feelings.

00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:56.980
 But at the same time, the Christian definition,

00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.640
 a great definition that I found by John Piper,

00:03:01.140 --> 00:03:03.080
 also defines it as a feeling,

00:03:03.379 --> 00:03:04.740
 which made it even more difficult for me.

00:03:04.740 --> 00:03:08.320
 There's no getting around the fact that joy is a feeling that I produce.

00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.700
 So his definition, I want you to copy this down if you write,

00:03:13.659 --> 00:03:15.500
 it is a good feeling in the soul,

00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:18.400
 produced by the Holy Spirit,

00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:25.680
 as he causes us to see the beauty of Christ in his word and in his works.

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:43.879
 So there are four main elements of that definition,

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.659
 and I'm going to be breaking those down this morning in a more practical sense.

00:03:49.659 --> 00:03:52.319
 But those key elements, it is a feeling.

00:03:53.259 --> 00:03:55.520
 It cannot be conjured up, it cannot be manufactured.

00:03:56.099 --> 00:03:59.479
 That's one of my biggest struggles in the early part of my marriage right now,

00:03:59.579 --> 00:04:02.579
 is sometimes I know that I'm supposed to be feeling something,

00:04:03.079 --> 00:04:07.519
 but I may wake up in the morning and not feel certain affections towards my wife.

00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:10.680
 I may not feel like going into work.

00:04:10.740 --> 00:04:13.340
 These are certain things that I feel or that I don't feel.

00:04:13.340 --> 00:04:18.160
 And I've learned that I can't simply manufacture those feelings.

00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.620
 Despite what my mind is telling me,

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.680
 my soul is not producing those feelings.

00:04:24.819 --> 00:04:28.680
 And it's impossible for you to simply produce those feelings on your own.

00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:30.699
 It is something that your soul produces.

00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:34.120
 Again, it is in the soul.

00:04:34.939 --> 00:04:36.079
 It's feelings and emotions.

00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:39.139
 And it is produced by the Holy Spirit.

00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:41.800
 Joy is produced by the Holy Spirit.

00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:43.819
 True joy.

00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.160
 Joy in Christ is produced by the Holy Spirit.

00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:48.780
 I'm just going to read this.

00:04:48.840 --> 00:04:49.699
 You don't have to turn here.

00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:54.840
 But Galatians 5.22 and part of 23 gives you the fruits of the Spirit.

00:04:55.180 --> 00:04:58.100
 This is a production of the Spirit.

00:04:59.019 --> 00:05:04.560
 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,

00:05:05.060 --> 00:05:07.319
 faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:12.019
 Those are all things that the Holy Spirit within you as a Christian does produce.

00:05:13.459 --> 00:05:16.139
 If you find that you lack all of those,

00:05:16.579 --> 00:05:19.959
 then you need to reflect on whether or not the Holy Spirit is within you.

00:05:20.019 --> 00:05:22.819
 If it's not producing any of these things,

00:05:23.779 --> 00:05:25.779
 then it's something to be questioned.

00:05:25.899 --> 00:05:27.039
 It's something to be sought out.

00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:32.980
 And then the final element of John Piper's definition,

00:05:34.200 --> 00:05:37.300
 as he causes us to see the beauty of Christ.

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.220
 So this is ultimately where our joy hangs.

00:05:40.320 --> 00:05:41.580
 This is ultimately where it comes from.

00:05:42.180 --> 00:05:46.400
 This is, if there is any fact that produces the joy within your soul,

00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.200
 it's that it is in Christ.

00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:52.700
 And so this morning, as we're talking about the Advent season,

00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:53.780
 Advent means coming.

00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:55.040
 It means the coming of Christ.

00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:59.960
 So how does the coming of Christ produce joy within us as a believer?

00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:06.540
 A couple of the texts that I found that relate directly to Jesus' coming

00:06:06.540 --> 00:06:09.160
 are straight from his mouth when he comes here to earth.

00:06:09.900 --> 00:06:12.600
 He says in Luke 19.10, no need to turn there,

00:06:13.320 --> 00:06:18.240
 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which is lost.

00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:21.620
 Key word there, talking about the Advent,

00:06:21.620 --> 00:06:26.480
 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which is lost.

00:06:27.620 --> 00:06:29.540
 In Mark 2.17, he says,

00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.100
 I came not to call the righteous.

00:06:32.420 --> 00:06:35.100
 And he was actually talking about those who believed that they were righteous.

00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:36.819
 He's talking to the Pharisees.

00:06:36.899 --> 00:06:37.699
 They weren't righteous.

00:06:38.379 --> 00:06:41.920
 Despite what they believed, despite what their works testified outwardly,

00:06:41.939 --> 00:06:42.680
 they were not righteous.

00:06:42.780 --> 00:06:45.980
 But he says, I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.

00:06:45.980 --> 00:06:48.480
 Therefore, he came to call sinners.

00:06:49.740 --> 00:06:52.160
 If there's anyone in here that believes that they're not a sinner,

00:06:52.540 --> 00:06:54.140
 that you are part of the righteous,

00:06:54.819 --> 00:06:56.600
 before knowing Christ,

00:06:57.100 --> 00:07:00.000
 turn with me to Romans 3.19.

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:16.660
 Now we know that whatever the law says,

00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:18.660
 it speaks to those who are under the law,

00:07:19.060 --> 00:07:20.959
 so that every mouth may be closed,

00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.519
 and all the world may become accountable to God.

00:07:23.699 --> 00:07:26.220
 All the world may become accountable to God.

00:07:26.220 --> 00:07:28.240
 Because by the works of the law,

00:07:28.620 --> 00:07:30.660
 no flesh will be justified in his sight,

00:07:30.960 --> 00:07:33.440
 for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:35.440
 He's talking to Jews first,

00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:36.840
 and then he's talking to the Gentiles.

00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:39.420
 For those who believe that you're saved by your works of the law,

00:07:39.520 --> 00:07:40.880
 by knowing the law,

00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:42.500
 by thinking that you uphold the law,

00:07:42.820 --> 00:07:44.440
 you've actually fallen incredibly short of it.

00:07:45.280 --> 00:07:47.920
 There's been nothing in you that has produced the righteousness

00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:49.960
 that is required by a holy God.

00:07:51.440 --> 00:07:53.640
 So therefore, the law is what condemns you.

00:07:53.760 --> 00:07:55.060
 Every single one of us in this room

00:07:55.060 --> 00:07:56.759
 have been condemned by the law,

00:07:56.980 --> 00:07:58.100
 written by a holy God,

00:07:58.139 --> 00:07:59.280
 that reflects his character.

00:08:00.899 --> 00:08:02.759
 So when we talk about Jesus coming,

00:08:02.899 --> 00:08:04.680
 we know, therefore, that if we are sinners,

00:08:05.100 --> 00:08:07.439
 he had to come to save us from the wrath that was to come,

00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:09.540
 the justice that was justified,

00:08:09.699 --> 00:08:11.279
 and that will be justified by God.

00:08:12.259 --> 00:08:14.840
 As he gives his wrath to the people who disobey him,

00:08:14.899 --> 00:08:15.939
 who do not believe in him,

00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:17.399
 who do not follow his law,

00:08:17.500 --> 00:08:18.800
 who do not uphold it to the T.

00:08:19.699 --> 00:08:22.279
 Therefore, he sent his son to live

00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:25.399
 and exemplify that law to the fullest extent,

00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:27.939
 so that we would be found righteous in him.

00:08:31.619 --> 00:08:34.079
 I want to give you a couple of examples

00:08:34.079 --> 00:08:37.159
 of joy produced by the coming of Christ

00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:40.679
 as he came to earth for the first time as a child.

00:08:41.959 --> 00:08:43.579
 Turn with me to Luke 2.

00:08:43.580 --> 00:08:48.080
 And this is something that I really wanted to understand.

00:08:48.220 --> 00:08:48.680
 I said, so,

00:08:49.680 --> 00:08:51.259
 we talk about the advent,

00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:52.280
 the coming of Christ,

00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:53.800
 so we're celebrating Christmas.

00:08:54.060 --> 00:08:55.180
 Surely there is something,

00:08:55.860 --> 00:08:57.259
 just a very tangible

00:08:57.259 --> 00:09:01.800
 thing that I can find

00:09:01.800 --> 00:09:03.860
 in historical accounts

00:09:03.860 --> 00:09:05.580
 that would show me someone's joy

00:09:05.580 --> 00:09:06.580
 about Jesus coming.

00:09:06.580 --> 00:09:09.400
 I found it

00:09:09.400 --> 00:09:11.280
 in Luke 2.

00:09:11.340 --> 00:09:12.759
 I'm going to start in verse 25,

00:09:12.940 --> 00:09:14.139
 and I'm going to read through 32.

00:09:15.259 --> 00:09:16.820
 It's about a man named Simeon.

00:09:17.500 --> 00:09:18.500
 He's a high priest

00:09:18.500 --> 00:09:20.840
 devoted to the Lord.

00:09:22.340 --> 00:09:24.300
 And he's definitely familiar

00:09:24.300 --> 00:09:25.220
 with the Old Testament

00:09:25.220 --> 00:09:26.560
 because he recites it

00:09:26.560 --> 00:09:28.060
 in his rejoicing

00:09:28.060 --> 00:09:29.800
 once he sees the Messiah,

00:09:29.940 --> 00:09:31.259
 once he sees baby Jesus.

00:09:33.560 --> 00:09:35.020
 And then I'm going to go back

00:09:35.019 --> 00:09:35.460
 to where,

00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:37.019
 in the Old Testament,

00:09:37.220 --> 00:09:37.779
 in Isaiah,

00:09:38.139 --> 00:09:39.279
 where he is quoting,

00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:40.740
 where Simeon is quoting from there.

00:09:42.019 --> 00:09:43.039
 And it's showing you

00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:44.059
 who Jesus is

00:09:44.059 --> 00:09:45.259
 or what he was supposed to be

00:09:45.259 --> 00:09:45.899
 when he came.

00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:47.259
 And all of this

00:09:47.259 --> 00:09:48.299
 should produce the joy

00:09:48.299 --> 00:09:49.159
 that we're looking for.

00:09:51.179 --> 00:09:52.240
 I'm going to start in 25.

00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:54.360
 And there was a man in Jerusalem

00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:55.439
 whose name was Simeon.

00:09:56.019 --> 00:09:57.579
 And this man was righteous and devout,

00:09:57.759 --> 00:09:59.439
 looking for the consolation of Israel.

00:09:59.960 --> 00:10:01.639
 And the Holy Spirit was upon him.

00:10:02.199 --> 00:10:03.620
 And it had been revealed to him

00:10:03.620 --> 00:10:04.299
 by the Holy Spirit

00:10:04.299 --> 00:10:06.419
 that he would not see death

00:10:06.419 --> 00:10:07.819
 before he had seen

00:10:07.819 --> 00:10:08.899
 the Lord's Christ.

00:10:09.500 --> 00:10:10.639
 And he came in the Spirit

00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:11.519
 into the temple.

00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:15.259
 And when the parents brought in

00:10:15.259 --> 00:10:16.099
 the child Jesus

00:10:16.099 --> 00:10:17.799
 to carry out for him

00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:18.919
 the custom of the law,

00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:21.659
 then he took him into his arms

00:10:21.659 --> 00:10:23.339
 and blessed God and said,

00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:24.639
 so what he's about to say

00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:26.759
 is his outward expression,

00:10:26.839 --> 00:10:28.159
 his verbal expression of his joy

00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:29.120
 that he now receives

00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:30.279
 in getting to hold

00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:32.139
 the Christ in his arms.

00:10:32.139 --> 00:10:34.059
 Now, Lord,

00:10:34.139 --> 00:10:35.659
 you are releasing your slave

00:10:35.659 --> 00:10:37.039
 to depart in peace.

00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:38.879
 I mean, I can go in death

00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:39.580
 and be happy.

00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:42.480
 According to your work,

00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:44.019
 for my eyes have seen

00:10:44.019 --> 00:10:45.059
 your salvation,

00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:46.639
 which you have prepared

00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:47.899
 in the presence of all peoples,

00:10:48.379 --> 00:10:49.779
 a light of revelation

00:10:49.779 --> 00:10:51.419
 to the Gentiles

00:10:51.419 --> 00:10:52.919
 and the glory

00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:54.699
 of your people, Israel.

00:10:56.139 --> 00:10:57.639
 And that's his outward expression

00:10:57.639 --> 00:10:58.240
 of his joy.

00:10:58.319 --> 00:10:59.240
 That's him rejoicing

00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:00.899
 that he now gets to witness,

00:11:01.060 --> 00:11:01.639
 bear witness

00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:03.279
 of the coming of Christ.

00:11:04.220 --> 00:11:05.700
 Turn with me to Isaiah 49.

00:11:17.740 --> 00:11:19.039
 I'm going to read about half

00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:20.560
 of Isaiah 49,

00:11:20.659 --> 00:11:21.899
 verses 1 through 13.

00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:26.879
 And this whole prophecy

00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:28.720
 is about Jesus coming to earth

00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:30.100
 to save man.

00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:33.259
 And in the end of it,

00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:33.960
 the beautiful part,

00:11:34.019 --> 00:11:34.919
 at least the end of the half

00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:35.720
 that I'm going to read,

00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:37.120
 is it tells you again

00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:38.100
 that it should produce

00:11:38.100 --> 00:11:39.240
 some sort of rejoicing.

00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:39.919
 It should produce

00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:40.720
 some sort of joy

00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:42.000
 that Jesus has come.

00:11:44.700 --> 00:11:45.519
 Listen to me,

00:11:45.580 --> 00:11:46.080
 O islands,

00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:47.419
 and pay attention,

00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:48.580
 you peoples from afar.

00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:50.399
 The Lord called me

00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:51.059
 from the womb,

00:11:51.379 --> 00:11:52.700
 from the body of my mother

00:11:52.700 --> 00:11:53.519
 he named me.

00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:55.220
 He has made my mouth

00:11:55.220 --> 00:11:56.159
 like a sharp sword,

00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:57.559
 in the shadow of his hand,

00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:59.019
 he has concealed me.

00:11:59.839 --> 00:12:01.319
 He has also made me

00:12:01.319 --> 00:12:02.539
 a select arrow.

00:12:02.740 --> 00:12:03.439
 He has hidden me

00:12:03.439 --> 00:12:04.039
 in his quiver.

00:12:04.500 --> 00:12:05.319
 He said to me,

00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:06.579
 you are my servant,

00:12:06.839 --> 00:12:07.179
 Israel,

00:12:07.439 --> 00:12:08.980
 in whom I will show

00:12:08.980 --> 00:12:09.919
 my glory.

00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:11.019
 But I said,

00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:12.159
 I have toiled in vain,

00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:13.459
 I have spent my strength

00:12:13.459 --> 00:12:14.299
 for nothing in vanity,

00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:15.360
 yet surely the justice

00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:15.919
 due to me

00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:16.679
 is with the Lord

00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:17.539
 and my reward

00:12:17.539 --> 00:12:18.279
 with my God.

00:12:18.899 --> 00:12:19.600
 And now he says,

00:12:19.659 --> 00:12:20.740
 the Lord who formed me

00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:21.419
 from the womb

00:12:21.419 --> 00:12:22.879
 to be his servant,

00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:24.299
 to bring Jacob

00:12:24.299 --> 00:12:25.299
 back to him

00:12:25.299 --> 00:12:26.199
 so that Israel

00:12:26.199 --> 00:12:27.279
 might be gathered to him

00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:28.319
 for I am honored

00:12:28.319 --> 00:12:29.079
 in the sight of the Lord

00:12:29.079 --> 00:12:29.599
 and my God

00:12:29.599 --> 00:12:30.359
 is my strength.

00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:31.319
 He says,

00:12:31.579 --> 00:12:33.000
 it is too small a thing

00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:34.139
 that you should be my servant

00:12:34.139 --> 00:12:35.079
 to raise up the tribes

00:12:35.079 --> 00:12:35.519
 of Jacob

00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:36.519
 and to restore

00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:37.279
 the preserved ones

00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:37.659
 of Israel.

00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:39.199
 I will also make you

00:12:39.199 --> 00:12:40.099
 a light of the nations

00:12:40.099 --> 00:12:41.240
 so that my salvation

00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:42.139
 may reach to the end

00:12:42.139 --> 00:12:42.579
 of the earth.

00:12:42.779 --> 00:12:43.199
 I'm going to stop

00:12:43.199 --> 00:12:43.839
 right there real quick.

00:12:45.740 --> 00:12:46.599
 Right there he's saying

00:12:46.599 --> 00:12:47.479
 that I'm not sending

00:12:47.479 --> 00:12:48.099
 Jesus Christ

00:12:48.099 --> 00:12:49.000
 just simply to save

00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:49.519
 the Jews.

00:12:49.959 --> 00:12:50.659
 I'm not coming here

00:12:50.659 --> 00:12:51.599
 just simply to save

00:12:51.599 --> 00:12:52.899
 those who are of Israel.

00:12:52.899 --> 00:12:54.379
 I'm going to make

00:12:54.379 --> 00:12:55.220
 your name great

00:12:55.220 --> 00:12:55.720
 and known

00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:56.840
 amongst all of the nations

00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:57.819
 so that their joy

00:12:57.819 --> 00:12:58.559
 may be complete.

00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:01.759
 Thus says the Lord

00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:02.860
 the Redeemer of Israel

00:13:02.860 --> 00:13:03.879
 and its Holy One

00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:05.439
 to the despised one

00:13:05.439 --> 00:13:06.199
 to the one

00:13:06.199 --> 00:13:07.699
 abhorred by the nation

00:13:07.699 --> 00:13:09.059
 to the servant of rulers

00:13:09.059 --> 00:13:10.340
 kings will see

00:13:10.340 --> 00:13:10.879
 and arise

00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:12.419
 princes will also bow down

00:13:12.419 --> 00:13:13.459
 because of the Lord

00:13:13.459 --> 00:13:14.100
 who is faithful

00:13:14.100 --> 00:13:15.039
 the Holy One of Israel

00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:16.319
 who has chosen you.

00:13:16.980 --> 00:13:17.740
 Thus says the Lord

00:13:17.740 --> 00:13:19.039
 in a favorable time

00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:20.319
 I have answered you

00:13:20.319 --> 00:13:21.879
 and in a day of salvation

00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:22.799
 I have helped you

00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:24.039
 and I will keep you

00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:25.240
 and give you

00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:25.879
 for a covenant

00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:26.679
 of the people

00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:28.059
 to restore the land

00:13:28.059 --> 00:13:28.919
 to make them inherit

00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:30.620
 the desolate heritages.

00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:32.179
 Saying to those

00:13:32.179 --> 00:13:32.659
 who are bound

00:13:32.659 --> 00:13:33.320
 go forth

00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:34.700
 to those who are in darkness

00:13:34.700 --> 00:13:35.519
 show yourselves

00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:36.740
 along the roads

00:13:36.740 --> 00:13:37.460
 they will feed

00:13:37.460 --> 00:13:38.399
 and their pasture

00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:39.779
 will be on all bare

00:13:39.779 --> 00:13:41.700
 will be on all bare heights.

00:13:42.259 --> 00:13:43.299
 They will not hunger

00:13:43.299 --> 00:13:43.899
 or thirst

00:13:43.899 --> 00:13:45.639
 nor will the scorching heat

00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:47.019
 or sun strike them down

00:13:47.019 --> 00:13:48.820
 for he who has compassion

00:13:48.820 --> 00:13:49.799
 on them will lead them

00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:50.659
 and will guide them

00:13:50.659 --> 00:13:51.559
 to springs of water

00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:53.199
 I will make my mountains

00:13:53.199 --> 00:13:53.739
 a road

00:13:53.739 --> 00:13:54.739
 and my highways

00:13:54.739 --> 00:13:55.639
 will be raised up

00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:57.319
 behold these will come

00:13:57.319 --> 00:13:58.339
 from afar and low

00:13:58.339 --> 00:13:59.079
 these will come

00:13:59.079 --> 00:13:59.639
 from the north

00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:00.359
 and from the west

00:14:00.359 --> 00:14:01.379
 and these will come

00:14:01.379 --> 00:14:02.279
 from the land of Sinem

00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:04.099
 shout for joy

00:14:04.099 --> 00:14:04.799
 O heavens

00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:05.699
 and rejoice

00:14:05.699 --> 00:14:06.459
 O earth

00:14:06.459 --> 00:14:07.899
 break forth

00:14:07.899 --> 00:14:09.259
 into joyful shouting

00:14:09.259 --> 00:14:10.199
 O mountains

00:14:10.199 --> 00:14:11.299
 the Lord

00:14:11.299 --> 00:14:12.639
 has comforted

00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:13.359
 his people

00:14:13.359 --> 00:14:15.639
 and will have compassion

00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:16.739
 on his afflicted.

00:14:17.979 --> 00:14:18.919
 So again

00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:20.119
 the coming of Christ

00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:20.980
 was always supposed

00:14:20.980 --> 00:14:22.440
 to produce joy.

00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:25.019
 It's a beautiful testimony

00:14:25.019 --> 00:14:25.539
 of that

00:14:25.539 --> 00:14:25.919
 and again

00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:26.940
 Simeon gets to live

00:14:26.940 --> 00:14:27.500
 that out

00:14:27.500 --> 00:14:28.799
 as he now understands

00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:29.679
 the prophecies

00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:30.419
 of old

00:14:30.419 --> 00:14:31.440
 he sees that now

00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:32.399
 fulfilled in Christ

00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:33.899
 and he's pleased to know

00:14:33.899 --> 00:14:34.720
 that the Messiah

00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:35.340
 has come

00:14:35.340 --> 00:14:36.379
 to save

00:14:36.379 --> 00:14:37.039
 his people.

00:14:39.860 --> 00:14:40.679
 So the

00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:41.679
 practical

00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:44.919
 meanings of that

00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:45.720
 what does that mean

00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:46.379
 for the Christian?

00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:48.060
 There are two things

00:14:48.059 --> 00:14:48.919
 I'm going to hone in on

00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:49.919
 so where does a Christian

00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:50.859
 find their joy

00:14:50.859 --> 00:14:51.500
 and we've talked about

00:14:51.500 --> 00:14:52.579
 that he finds it in Christ

00:14:52.579 --> 00:14:53.699
 but specifically

00:14:53.699 --> 00:14:55.119
 where does he find it

00:14:55.119 --> 00:14:55.719
 in Christ?

00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:57.399
 When we talk about it

00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:57.879
 when we say

00:14:57.879 --> 00:14:58.519
 in Christ

00:14:58.519 --> 00:14:59.479
 abide in Christ

00:14:59.479 --> 00:15:00.119
 sometimes

00:15:00.119 --> 00:15:01.639
 I struggle with that

00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:02.179
 because it can be

00:15:02.179 --> 00:15:03.239
 like an abstract thing

00:15:03.239 --> 00:15:05.119
 how do we do that?

00:15:05.459 --> 00:15:06.639
 How do we abide in Christ?

00:15:07.419 --> 00:15:08.279
 And then also

00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:09.500
 how does a Christian

00:15:09.500 --> 00:15:10.239
 express

00:15:10.239 --> 00:15:12.139
 their newfound joy?

00:15:12.139 --> 00:15:15.360
 So on the

00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:17.039
 subject of

00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:18.419
 where does a Christian

00:15:18.419 --> 00:15:19.139
 find their joy?

00:15:19.220 --> 00:15:19.899
 Well they find it

00:15:19.899 --> 00:15:20.639
 first and foremost

00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:21.419
 in their belief

00:15:21.419 --> 00:15:21.960
 in the coming

00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:22.679
 of Jesus Christ

00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:23.980
 it is in their faith

00:15:23.980 --> 00:15:25.019
 in the coming

00:15:25.019 --> 00:15:25.879
 of Jesus Christ

00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:27.220
 it is in their faith

00:15:27.220 --> 00:15:27.860
 in the death

00:15:27.860 --> 00:15:28.740
 of Jesus Christ

00:15:28.740 --> 00:15:29.259
 on the cross

00:15:29.259 --> 00:15:29.860
 for our sins

00:15:29.860 --> 00:15:31.759
 and it is also

00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:32.240
 in the faith

00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:32.759
 that he rose

00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:33.279
 from the dead

00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.340
 you know

00:15:35.340 --> 00:15:35.960
 we talk about

00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:36.759
 we often use

00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:37.000
 the

00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:38.500
 I think it's in

00:15:38.500 --> 00:15:39.600
 1 Corinthians

00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:40.960
 Paul talks about

00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:41.379
 at Easter

00:15:41.379 --> 00:15:42.399
 we often bring this up

00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:43.039
 that we are the most

00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:43.620
 to be pitied

00:15:43.620 --> 00:15:44.340
 if Jesus Christ

00:15:44.340 --> 00:15:44.899
 did not rise

00:15:44.899 --> 00:15:45.379
 from the dead

00:15:45.379 --> 00:15:45.860
 that's right

00:15:45.860 --> 00:15:46.820
 he's absolutely right

00:15:46.820 --> 00:15:48.100
 we have no joy

00:15:48.100 --> 00:15:49.059
 if Christ did not

00:15:49.059 --> 00:15:49.939
 rise from the dead

00:15:49.939 --> 00:15:51.100
 so that was the culmination

00:15:51.100 --> 00:15:51.720
 of what he came here

00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:52.100
 to do

00:15:52.100 --> 00:15:53.000
 he came here

00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:53.759
 to live righteously

00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:54.419
 he came here

00:15:54.419 --> 00:15:55.139
 to die on behalf

00:15:55.139 --> 00:15:55.600
 of our sins

00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:56.139
 and he came here

00:15:56.139 --> 00:15:57.799
 died resurrected

00:15:57.799 --> 00:15:58.840
 and conquered death

00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:01.360
 go to

00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:03.779
 Philippians 3

00:16:03.779 --> 00:16:04.779
 and this is where

00:16:04.779 --> 00:16:05.940
 I'll be spending

00:16:05.940 --> 00:16:07.460
 most of the time

00:16:07.460 --> 00:16:07.919
 again

00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:09.360
 it's in Philippians

00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:19.180
 Paul the apostle

00:16:19.180 --> 00:16:20.580
 believes firmly

00:16:20.580 --> 00:16:23.120
 in his identity

00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:23.820
 in Christ

00:16:23.820 --> 00:16:25.019
 he believes

00:16:25.019 --> 00:16:25.759
 and knows

00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:26.340
 that Christ

00:16:26.340 --> 00:16:27.120
 was sent to die

00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:27.600
 for him

00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:28.440
 on his behalf

00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:30.399
 it was revealed

00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:30.860
 to him

00:16:30.860 --> 00:16:32.000
 it was a revelation

00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:33.759
 by Jesus himself

00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:34.539
 that the law

00:16:34.539 --> 00:16:35.580
 was not going

00:16:35.580 --> 00:16:36.519
 to save Paul

00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:38.840
 so he says

00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:39.679
 in Philippians 3

00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:40.019
 8

00:16:40.019 --> 00:16:41.000
 this is something

00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:41.500
 that many of you

00:16:41.500 --> 00:16:42.279
 are familiar with

00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:42.740
 I'm sure

00:16:42.740 --> 00:16:44.039
 I'm going to read

00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:44.759
 through verse 9

00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:45.659
 but this is

00:16:45.659 --> 00:16:46.419
 again

00:16:46.419 --> 00:16:49.460
 what shows

00:16:49.460 --> 00:16:51.059
 his true faith

00:16:51.059 --> 00:16:52.340
 in the power

00:16:52.340 --> 00:16:53.379
 of Christ

00:16:53.379 --> 00:16:54.879
 it says

00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:55.419
 more than that

00:16:55.419 --> 00:16:56.340
 I count all things

00:16:56.340 --> 00:16:57.019
 to be lost

00:16:57.019 --> 00:16:57.579
 in view

00:16:57.579 --> 00:16:58.539
 of the surpassing

00:16:58.539 --> 00:16:59.059
 value

00:16:59.059 --> 00:16:59.899
 of knowing

00:16:59.899 --> 00:17:01.159
 Christ Jesus

00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:01.799
 my Lord

00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:03.100
 for whom I have

00:17:03.100 --> 00:17:04.000
 suffered the loss

00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:04.720
 of all things

00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:05.779
 and count them

00:17:05.779 --> 00:17:06.339
 but rubbish

00:17:06.339 --> 00:17:07.420
 so that I may

00:17:07.420 --> 00:17:08.279
 gain Christ

00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:09.200
 and may be found

00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:09.559
 in him

00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:11.000
 not having a righteousness

00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:11.660
 of my own

00:17:11.660 --> 00:17:12.680
 derived from the law

00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:13.960
 but that which is

00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:14.759
 through faith

00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:15.680
 in Christ

00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:16.740
 the righteousness

00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:17.660
 which comes

00:17:17.660 --> 00:17:18.399
 from God

00:17:18.399 --> 00:17:19.160
 on the basis

00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:20.259
 of faith

00:17:20.259 --> 00:17:22.059
 therefore

00:17:22.059 --> 00:17:22.720
 everything

00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:24.019
 the way that Paul

00:17:24.019 --> 00:17:24.660
 found

00:17:24.660 --> 00:17:25.660
 that his identity

00:17:25.660 --> 00:17:26.339
 his joy

00:17:26.339 --> 00:17:27.319
 was made complete

00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:28.200
 was believing

00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:29.440
 in his identity

00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:30.079
 in Christ

00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:32.119
 he's placing

00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:32.899
 full hope

00:17:32.899 --> 00:17:33.899
 in the coming

00:17:33.899 --> 00:17:34.440
 of Christ

00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:35.799
 and the death

00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:36.140
 of Christ

00:17:36.140 --> 00:17:36.740
 and the resurrection

00:17:36.740 --> 00:17:37.340
 of Christ

00:17:37.340 --> 00:17:41.700
 secondly

00:17:41.700 --> 00:17:42.860
 as it's revealed

00:17:42.860 --> 00:17:43.580
 in our faith

00:17:43.580 --> 00:17:45.200
 in Jesus

00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:47.580
 this is affirmed

00:17:47.580 --> 00:17:48.240
 in his word

00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:49.759
 one of the biggest

00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:50.420
 things that

00:17:50.420 --> 00:17:52.059
 I and Nathan

00:17:52.059 --> 00:17:53.120
 and many others

00:17:53.120 --> 00:17:53.860
 when they come up here

00:17:53.860 --> 00:17:54.860
 they find ways

00:17:54.860 --> 00:17:55.380
 to make

00:17:55.380 --> 00:17:56.960
 the gospel

00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:58.220
 practical to you

00:17:58.220 --> 00:17:59.120
 in your life

00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:01.159
 and one of the most

00:18:01.159 --> 00:18:02.179
 ways that the gospel

00:18:02.179 --> 00:18:03.079
 is made practical

00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:04.079
 on a daily basis

00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:04.639
 in your life

00:18:04.639 --> 00:18:05.699
 is the revelation

00:18:05.699 --> 00:18:06.839
 of Jesus

00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:07.679
 in his word

00:18:07.679 --> 00:18:10.939
 Jesus himself

00:18:10.939 --> 00:18:11.859
 affirms

00:18:11.859 --> 00:18:13.000
 the testimony

00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:13.619
 of scripture

00:18:13.619 --> 00:18:14.619
 the importance

00:18:14.619 --> 00:18:15.099
 of scripture

00:18:15.099 --> 00:18:16.219
 from Genesis 1-1

00:18:16.219 --> 00:18:17.099
 all the way

00:18:17.099 --> 00:18:17.479
 to the end

00:18:17.479 --> 00:18:18.019
 of Revelation

00:18:18.019 --> 00:18:19.619
 and John

00:18:19.619 --> 00:18:20.359
 he's talking again

00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:21.159
 to the Pharisees

00:18:21.159 --> 00:18:21.719
 the Pharisees

00:18:21.719 --> 00:18:22.199
 were individuals

00:18:22.199 --> 00:18:22.659
 who knew

00:18:22.659 --> 00:18:23.259
 or believed

00:18:23.259 --> 00:18:23.839
 that they knew

00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:24.339
 the scripture

00:18:24.339 --> 00:18:25.919
 many of them

00:18:25.919 --> 00:18:26.859
 could recite

00:18:26.859 --> 00:18:27.479
 the Old Testament

00:18:27.479 --> 00:18:27.979
 I think all

00:18:27.979 --> 00:18:28.899
 it was actually

00:18:28.899 --> 00:18:29.439
 required

00:18:29.439 --> 00:18:30.359
 that all Pharisees

00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:30.799
 all men

00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:32.219
 who attained

00:18:32.219 --> 00:18:33.079
 to this level

00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:33.779
 of priesthood

00:18:33.779 --> 00:18:34.919
 had to recite

00:18:34.919 --> 00:18:35.319
 essentially

00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:36.399
 the entire Old Testament

00:18:36.399 --> 00:18:37.000
 it wasn't called

00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:37.500
 the Old Testament

00:18:37.500 --> 00:18:37.919
 for them

00:18:37.919 --> 00:18:39.659
 can you imagine

00:18:39.659 --> 00:18:40.919
 I think by the time

00:18:40.919 --> 00:18:41.259
 they were like

00:18:41.259 --> 00:18:41.799
 seven or eight

00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:42.139
 or nine

00:18:42.139 --> 00:18:42.579
 if that's what

00:18:42.579 --> 00:18:43.779
 they aspired to be

00:18:43.779 --> 00:18:44.159
 if that's what

00:18:44.159 --> 00:18:45.119
 their family

00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:45.899
 wanted them to be

00:18:45.899 --> 00:18:46.539
 they had to learn

00:18:46.539 --> 00:18:47.000
 the Pentateuch

00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:47.459
 they had to learn

00:18:47.459 --> 00:18:48.679
 the first five books

00:18:48.679 --> 00:18:49.799
 of the Old Testament

00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:52.279
 they had to recite it

00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:53.759
 so even though

00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:54.399
 they believed

00:18:54.399 --> 00:18:55.059
 that they knew

00:18:55.059 --> 00:18:56.059
 what the scripture said

00:18:56.059 --> 00:18:56.740
 it was obvious

00:18:56.740 --> 00:18:57.579
 that when Christ came

00:18:57.579 --> 00:18:58.620
 they didn't see the signs

00:18:58.620 --> 00:18:59.400
 they didn't understand

00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:00.079
 Isaiah 49

00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:00.799
 because they didn't know

00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:01.740
 that this was the Christ

00:19:01.740 --> 00:19:03.599
 despite all evidence

00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:04.380
 pointing to him

00:19:04.380 --> 00:19:05.140
 being the Christ

00:19:05.140 --> 00:19:06.079
 the chosen one

00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:07.400
 sent to save Israel

00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:09.440
 so he says in John

00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:10.240
 Jesus says to them

00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:11.220
 in John 5 39

00:19:11.220 --> 00:19:13.099
 you search the scriptures

00:19:13.099 --> 00:19:13.799
 because you think

00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:14.359
 that in them

00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:15.660
 you have eternal life

00:19:15.660 --> 00:19:16.799
 it is these

00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:17.579
 that testify

00:19:17.579 --> 00:19:18.559
 about me

00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:20.440
 so there's two ways

00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:20.859
 an individual

00:19:20.859 --> 00:19:21.579
 can look at scripture

00:19:21.579 --> 00:19:22.359
 you can look at scripture

00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:23.460
 and learn to know it

00:19:23.460 --> 00:19:24.240
 learn to understand it

00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:24.720
 historically

00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:27.279
 and place your hope

00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:28.460
 that because you know

00:19:28.460 --> 00:19:29.640
 religious things

00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:31.240
 that is somehow

00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:32.640
 saving to you

00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:34.160
 I can affirm

00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:34.740
 that there was

00:19:34.740 --> 00:19:35.920
 a very

00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:37.779
 there was a

00:19:37.779 --> 00:19:38.819
 small part

00:19:38.819 --> 00:19:39.360
 in my life

00:19:39.360 --> 00:19:40.259
 where I was involved

00:19:40.259 --> 00:19:40.640
 in church

00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:41.579
 from the ages of like

00:19:41.579 --> 00:19:43.240
 8 to 12

00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:44.279
 or something to that effect

00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:46.000
 and I don't think

00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:46.960
 I ever opened the Bible

00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:47.839
 to read it for myself

00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:49.120
 but I believed

00:19:49.120 --> 00:19:50.860
 in the good works

00:19:50.860 --> 00:19:51.339
 of the Bible

00:19:51.339 --> 00:19:51.720
 I believed

00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:52.120
 that it was

00:19:52.120 --> 00:19:53.299
 something that identified

00:19:53.299 --> 00:19:54.220
 me as a Christian

00:19:54.220 --> 00:19:54.680
 it was

00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:55.440
 identified me

00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:56.059
 as American

00:19:56.059 --> 00:19:57.379
 thus somehow

00:19:57.379 --> 00:19:58.180
 being a Christian

00:19:58.180 --> 00:20:00.299
 but the truth is

00:20:00.299 --> 00:20:01.460
 is that even if I knew

00:20:01.460 --> 00:20:02.359
 the scriptures

00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:03.819
 from beginning to the end

00:20:03.819 --> 00:20:05.419
 none of that produced

00:20:05.419 --> 00:20:06.659
 any true identity

00:20:06.659 --> 00:20:07.259
 in Christ

00:20:07.259 --> 00:20:10.119
 but Jesus is saying

00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:11.159
 that in those scriptures

00:20:11.159 --> 00:20:12.319
 and he's not only talking

00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:13.079
 about the Old Testament

00:20:13.079 --> 00:20:14.279
 it is talking about

00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:14.899
 the significance

00:20:14.899 --> 00:20:15.879
 him saying this

00:20:15.879 --> 00:20:17.139
 shows you the significance

00:20:17.139 --> 00:20:18.839
 of knowing the Old Testament

00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:20.720
 but he's also talking about

00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:21.599
 the gospels

00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:22.500
 that came after that

00:20:22.500 --> 00:20:23.220
 the epistles

00:20:23.220 --> 00:20:24.160
 that men wrote

00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:26.019
 about our practical life

00:20:26.019 --> 00:20:26.799
 in Jesus Christ

00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:28.519
 all the way to the revelation

00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:29.460
 of John

00:20:29.460 --> 00:20:31.680
 that the scriptures

00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:32.900
 testify about Jesus

00:20:32.900 --> 00:20:35.079
 so if we have our faith

00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:35.460
 in Jesus

00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:36.160
 it would make sense

00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:37.220
 that we are to find

00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:38.319
 and be assured

00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:39.579
 in that hope daily

00:20:39.579 --> 00:20:40.900
 by the seeking of his word

00:20:40.900 --> 00:20:42.519
 especially as Americans

00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:44.420
 especially as literate people

00:20:44.420 --> 00:20:46.140
 you have a great opportunity

00:20:46.140 --> 00:20:47.240
 to know Jesus

00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:48.660
 through his word

00:20:48.660 --> 00:20:50.279
 you have a great opportunity

00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:51.059
 to understand

00:20:51.059 --> 00:20:51.980
 the things that he has said

00:20:51.980 --> 00:20:52.900
 the things that he has commanded

00:20:52.900 --> 00:20:53.420
 of us

00:20:53.420 --> 00:20:54.319
 as his people

00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:55.180
 through the reading

00:20:55.180 --> 00:20:55.720
 of his word

00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:59.559
 with these two things

00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:00.140
 combined

00:21:00.140 --> 00:21:03.940
 you will find

00:21:03.940 --> 00:21:04.779
 your joy complete

00:21:04.779 --> 00:21:05.799
 because you're finding

00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:06.740
 it ultimately in Christ

00:21:06.740 --> 00:21:09.500
 but joy doesn't have

00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:12.360
 much of an application

00:21:12.360 --> 00:21:13.339
 if it's not able

00:21:13.339 --> 00:21:14.339
 to be applied

00:21:14.339 --> 00:21:15.059
 to circumstances

00:21:15.059 --> 00:21:15.759
 in your life

00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:16.420
 so I do agree

00:21:16.420 --> 00:21:17.099
 that feelings

00:21:17.099 --> 00:21:18.860
 are circumstantial

00:21:18.860 --> 00:21:19.660
 things that happen

00:21:19.660 --> 00:21:20.279
 to you

00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:21.740
 will produce feelings

00:21:21.740 --> 00:21:23.500
 and therefore

00:21:23.500 --> 00:21:24.120
 I want to talk

00:21:24.120 --> 00:21:24.920
 a little bit about

00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:26.960
 how we use this joy

00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:27.540
 in Christ

00:21:27.540 --> 00:21:30.779
 in our suffering

00:21:30.779 --> 00:21:31.480
 and sorrow

00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:33.600
 because this is where

00:21:33.600 --> 00:21:34.220
 you will find

00:21:34.220 --> 00:21:34.920
 your joy made

00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:35.600
 most complete

00:21:35.600 --> 00:21:36.860
 I promise you

00:21:36.860 --> 00:21:38.640
 I can attest to this

00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:39.380
 with Matt Sossman

00:21:39.380 --> 00:21:39.800
 this week

00:21:39.800 --> 00:21:40.440
 I suffered

00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:42.820
 very minimally

00:21:42.820 --> 00:21:43.900
 compared to most

00:21:43.900 --> 00:21:44.860
 but he and I

00:21:44.860 --> 00:21:45.840
 came under a great attack

00:21:45.840 --> 00:21:46.880
 of poison ivy

00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:48.020
 this week

00:21:48.020 --> 00:21:48.760
 and when I say great

00:21:48.760 --> 00:21:49.420
 I mean the whole

00:21:49.420 --> 00:21:50.580
 right side of my face

00:21:50.580 --> 00:21:51.060
 and neck

00:21:51.060 --> 00:21:52.700
 was ballooned up

00:21:52.700 --> 00:21:53.780
 throughout the entire

00:21:53.780 --> 00:21:54.660
 course of this week

00:21:54.660 --> 00:21:57.320
 and so many times

00:21:57.320 --> 00:21:57.740
 I was repeating

00:21:57.740 --> 00:21:58.180
 to myself

00:21:58.180 --> 00:21:58.460
 I was like

00:21:58.460 --> 00:21:59.340
 I have no joy

00:21:59.340 --> 00:22:00.600
 my again

00:22:00.600 --> 00:22:01.760
 my joy was based

00:22:01.760 --> 00:22:02.740
 on my circumstances

00:22:02.740 --> 00:22:04.440
 I was sore

00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:05.140
 I was

00:22:05.140 --> 00:22:06.300
 my skin was

00:22:06.300 --> 00:22:08.400
 just chewing me up

00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:08.920
 that's how I would

00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:09.640
 describe it

00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:11.360
 spread onto my arms

00:22:11.360 --> 00:22:12.440
 and other parts

00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:13.000
 of my body

00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:13.480
 that was just

00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:14.040
 miserable

00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:16.220
 but at the same time

00:22:16.220 --> 00:22:17.639
 my joy was not based

00:22:17.639 --> 00:22:18.460
 in those external

00:22:18.460 --> 00:22:19.240
 circumstances

00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:20.779
 my true joy

00:22:20.779 --> 00:22:22.299
 was found in Christ

00:22:22.299 --> 00:22:24.480
 again that's a

00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:25.700
 such a small

00:22:25.700 --> 00:22:26.420
 example

00:22:26.420 --> 00:22:27.220
 in comparison

00:22:27.220 --> 00:22:27.759
 to the ways

00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:28.240
 that people

00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:29.339
 have suffered

00:22:29.339 --> 00:22:30.539
 and are in sorrow

00:22:30.539 --> 00:22:31.559
 especially this week

00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:33.279
 but

00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:34.519
 James

00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:35.500
 says this

00:22:35.500 --> 00:22:36.200
 he says

00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:37.319
 consider it all joy

00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:37.899
 my brethren

00:22:37.899 --> 00:22:38.859
 when you encounter

00:22:38.859 --> 00:22:40.379
 trials of various kinds

00:22:40.379 --> 00:22:41.839
 knowing that the testing

00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:42.399
 of your faith

00:22:42.399 --> 00:22:43.240
 produces endurance

00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:44.960
 and let endurance

00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:46.259
 have its perfect result

00:22:46.259 --> 00:22:47.339
 so that you may be

00:22:47.339 --> 00:22:48.180
 perfect and complete

00:22:48.180 --> 00:22:49.160
 lacking in nothing

00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:50.819
 so consider it all joy

00:22:50.819 --> 00:22:51.859
 when you find these trials

00:22:51.859 --> 00:22:52.480
 when you come across

00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:52.960
 these trials

00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:53.500
 when these trials

00:22:53.500 --> 00:22:54.259
 are put onto you

00:22:54.259 --> 00:22:55.279
 because ultimately

00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:56.359
 that joy is to point you

00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:56.960
 to your faith

00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:58.720
 joy is ultimately

00:22:58.720 --> 00:22:59.259
 to point you

00:22:59.259 --> 00:22:59.900
 to your identity

00:22:59.900 --> 00:23:00.519
 in Christ

00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:01.420
 to your belief

00:23:01.420 --> 00:23:02.099
 in the gospel

00:23:02.099 --> 00:23:05.259
 he says

00:23:05.259 --> 00:23:05.759
 that produces

00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:06.480
 an endurance

00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:07.620
 simply says

00:23:07.620 --> 00:23:08.120
 this trial

00:23:08.120 --> 00:23:09.120
 is temporary

00:23:09.120 --> 00:23:11.019
 I don't know

00:23:11.019 --> 00:23:11.420
 how long

00:23:11.420 --> 00:23:11.960
 some people's

00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:12.940
 suffering may last

00:23:12.940 --> 00:23:13.980
 you don't either

00:23:13.980 --> 00:23:15.580
 but even

00:23:15.580 --> 00:23:16.779
 for an 80 year span

00:23:16.779 --> 00:23:17.519
 that is temporary

00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:18.779
 in light of eternity

00:23:18.779 --> 00:23:21.340
 turn with me

00:23:21.340 --> 00:23:22.559
 to 1 Peter 1

00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:23.700
 3-9

00:23:23.700 --> 00:23:27.820
 you can hold your place

00:23:27.820 --> 00:23:28.420
 in Philippians

00:23:28.420 --> 00:23:29.480
 because I will go back there

00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:36.860
 the apostle Peter

00:23:36.860 --> 00:23:38.840
 is talking to people

00:23:38.840 --> 00:23:39.259
 who are

00:23:39.259 --> 00:23:41.019
 under tribulation

00:23:41.019 --> 00:23:43.500
 who are being persecuted

00:23:43.500 --> 00:23:45.759
 who are being dispersed

00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:49.220
 who are suffering

00:23:49.220 --> 00:23:52.519
 he wants to encourage them

00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:54.079
 what you're going to find

00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:54.859
 the elements in here

00:23:54.859 --> 00:23:55.879
 is that he encourages them

00:23:55.879 --> 00:23:56.480
 in their identity

00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:57.079
 in Christ

00:23:57.079 --> 00:23:58.559
 and their identity

00:23:58.559 --> 00:23:58.980
 in Christ

00:23:58.980 --> 00:23:59.900
 produces the joy

00:23:59.900 --> 00:24:00.400
 that he's hoping

00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:01.059
 for them to find

00:24:01.059 --> 00:24:04.000
 blessed be the God

00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:04.399
 and father

00:24:04.399 --> 00:24:05.519
 of the Lord Jesus Christ

00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:06.000
 who according

00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:06.839
 to his great mercy

00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:07.659
 has caused us

00:24:07.659 --> 00:24:08.440
 to be born again

00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:09.220
 to a living hope

00:24:09.220 --> 00:24:10.019
 through the resurrection

00:24:10.019 --> 00:24:10.940
 of Jesus Christ

00:24:10.940 --> 00:24:11.659
 from the dead

00:24:11.659 --> 00:24:13.599
 to obtain an inheritance

00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:14.779
 which is imperishable

00:24:14.779 --> 00:24:15.519
 and undefiled

00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:16.879
 and will not fade away

00:24:16.879 --> 00:24:18.599
 reserved in heaven

00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:19.159
 for you

00:24:19.159 --> 00:24:20.679
 who are protected

00:24:20.679 --> 00:24:21.819
 by the power of God

00:24:21.819 --> 00:24:22.480
 through faith

00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:23.759
 for a salvation

00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:25.000
 ready to be revealed

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:26.000
 in the last time

00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:27.220
 in this

00:24:27.220 --> 00:24:28.279
 you greatly rejoice

00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:29.079
 even though now

00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:29.759
 for a little while

00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:30.420
 if necessary

00:24:30.420 --> 00:24:32.019
 you have been distressed

00:24:32.019 --> 00:24:33.019
 by various trials

00:24:33.019 --> 00:24:34.579
 so that the proof

00:24:34.579 --> 00:24:35.220
 of your faith

00:24:35.220 --> 00:24:36.420
 being more precious

00:24:36.420 --> 00:24:37.019
 than gold

00:24:37.019 --> 00:24:37.940
 which is perishable

00:24:37.940 --> 00:24:39.339
 even though tested

00:24:39.339 --> 00:24:40.000
 by fire

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:41.180
 may be found

00:24:41.180 --> 00:24:41.980
 to result

00:24:41.980 --> 00:24:43.200
 in praise

00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:43.960
 and glory

00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:44.740
 and honor

00:24:44.740 --> 00:24:45.700
 at the revelation

00:24:45.700 --> 00:24:46.660
 of Jesus Christ

00:24:46.660 --> 00:24:47.879
 and though you have not

00:24:47.879 --> 00:24:48.339
 seen him

00:24:48.339 --> 00:24:48.980
 you love him

00:24:48.980 --> 00:24:50.140
 and though you do not

00:24:50.140 --> 00:24:51.099
 see him now

00:24:51.099 --> 00:24:52.400
 but believe in him

00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:53.740
 you greatly rejoice

00:24:53.740 --> 00:24:54.980
 with joy

00:24:54.980 --> 00:24:56.079
 inexpressible

00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:57.740
 and full of glory

00:24:57.740 --> 00:24:59.599
 obtaining as the outcome

00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:00.379
 of your faith

00:25:00.379 --> 00:25:01.480
 the salvation

00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:02.779
 of your souls

00:25:02.779 --> 00:25:04.859
 the identity

00:25:04.859 --> 00:25:05.859
 that they now have

00:25:05.859 --> 00:25:07.099
 in being believers

00:25:07.099 --> 00:25:08.819
 in the Christ

00:25:08.819 --> 00:25:09.339
 who came

00:25:09.339 --> 00:25:10.899
 produces

00:25:10.899 --> 00:25:12.019
 that joy

00:25:12.019 --> 00:25:12.859
 inexpressible

00:25:12.859 --> 00:25:17.059
 I want to

00:25:17.059 --> 00:25:17.619
 I didn't know

00:25:17.619 --> 00:25:18.159
 how I was going

00:25:18.159 --> 00:25:18.939
 to tie this in

00:25:18.939 --> 00:25:20.299
 but throughout this week

00:25:20.299 --> 00:25:22.000
 as I was on bed rest

00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:23.019
 essentially all week long

00:25:23.019 --> 00:25:23.500
 because my

00:25:23.500 --> 00:25:25.159
 again the poison ivy

00:25:25.159 --> 00:25:26.219
 was all over my arms

00:25:26.220 --> 00:25:27.660
 up until Friday

00:25:27.660 --> 00:25:28.640
 I did not want to move

00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:30.079
 my arms past this position

00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:32.480
 it was in the elbow

00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:33.819
 and all sorts of places

00:25:33.819 --> 00:25:36.120
 so even talking

00:25:36.120 --> 00:25:36.640
 or texting

00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:37.900
 I was doing this

00:25:37.900 --> 00:25:38.420
 reading

00:25:38.420 --> 00:25:39.759
 I realized how bad

00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:40.400
 my sight is

00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:41.220
 when I would hold a book

00:25:41.220 --> 00:25:42.440
 even this far

00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:43.079
 and had trouble

00:25:43.079 --> 00:25:44.519
 seeing the words on it

00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:46.579
 but I've been reading

00:25:46.579 --> 00:25:46.960
 a book

00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:48.000
 over the past

00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:48.799
 six months

00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:50.700
 called Atlas Shrugged

00:25:50.700 --> 00:25:53.000
 and as I was reflecting

00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:54.259
 on what joy

00:25:54.259 --> 00:25:54.880
 looks like

00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:55.960
 for the non-believer

00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:56.559
 and the believer

00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:58.380
 I found myself

00:25:58.380 --> 00:25:59.580
 getting into the climax

00:25:59.580 --> 00:26:00.620
 of this book

00:26:00.620 --> 00:26:03.580
 and Wes

00:26:03.580 --> 00:26:04.640
 shall not warn me

00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:05.480
 when I got to

00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:06.160
 a certain point

00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:08.259
 I was going to realize

00:26:08.259 --> 00:26:08.799
 how tragic

00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:09.819
 the main character

00:26:09.819 --> 00:26:10.799
 the hero of the story

00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:11.519
 really is

00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:12.559
 so the book

00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:13.380
 climaxes

00:26:13.380 --> 00:26:14.220
 on a

00:26:14.220 --> 00:26:16.259
 70 page monologue

00:26:16.259 --> 00:26:17.299
 by the hero

00:26:17.299 --> 00:26:17.900
 of the story

00:26:17.900 --> 00:26:19.059
 there's nothing

00:26:19.059 --> 00:26:19.900
 that interrupts him

00:26:19.900 --> 00:26:22.040
 he's been a mysterious

00:26:22.040 --> 00:26:22.720
 figure throughout

00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:23.580
 the entire story

00:26:23.580 --> 00:26:25.280
 and he

00:26:25.280 --> 00:26:27.480
 he gets an opportunity

00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:29.060
 to basically

00:26:29.060 --> 00:26:31.720
 share his whole thoughts

00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:32.840
 to the entire world

00:26:32.840 --> 00:26:34.320
 and explain to them

00:26:34.320 --> 00:26:35.280
 where he believes

00:26:35.280 --> 00:26:37.280
 man's chief joy

00:26:37.280 --> 00:26:38.180
 and his chief aim

00:26:38.180 --> 00:26:38.820
 is

00:26:38.820 --> 00:26:40.920
 I'll sum it up

00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:41.600
 for you briefly

00:26:41.600 --> 00:26:42.660
 and it's not going to be

00:26:42.660 --> 00:26:43.160
 as intellectual

00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:44.000
 as the author

00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:44.960
 I can put it

00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:45.960
 but ultimately

00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:46.840
 man's joy

00:26:46.840 --> 00:26:47.380
 and his happiness

00:26:47.380 --> 00:26:48.620
 is found in his existence

00:26:48.620 --> 00:26:49.320
 his ability

00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:50.259
 to think

00:26:50.259 --> 00:26:51.359
 and his ability

00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:52.480
 to produce

00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:53.259
 with his thoughts

00:26:53.259 --> 00:26:53.700
 his ability

00:26:53.700 --> 00:26:54.419
 to seek out

00:26:54.419 --> 00:26:55.700
 his own happiness

00:26:55.700 --> 00:26:57.039
 based on

00:26:57.039 --> 00:26:58.259
 the mind

00:26:58.259 --> 00:26:59.039
 that he has

00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:01.939
 so I

00:27:01.939 --> 00:27:03.599
 as I was reading this

00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:04.460
 this week

00:27:04.460 --> 00:27:05.259
 this monologue

00:27:05.259 --> 00:27:07.579
 the words happiness

00:27:07.579 --> 00:27:08.200
 the words joy

00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:08.799
 the words pleasure

00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:10.039
 come up a few times

00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:12.099
 this is where you see

00:27:12.099 --> 00:27:12.700
 Ayn Rand

00:27:12.700 --> 00:27:14.240
 the author of this book

00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:14.759
 you see

00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:16.339
 where she found

00:27:16.339 --> 00:27:17.159
 her joy

00:27:17.159 --> 00:27:19.119
 and she was someone

00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:20.819
 who kind of authored

00:27:20.819 --> 00:27:21.919
 the philosophy

00:27:21.919 --> 00:27:22.839
 of objectivism

00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:24.099
 meaning that there are

00:27:24.099 --> 00:27:25.039
 absolutes in the world

00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:25.619
 and these are things

00:27:25.619 --> 00:27:26.240
 that as Christians

00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:27.019
 you

00:27:27.019 --> 00:27:28.179
 I do believe

00:27:28.179 --> 00:27:28.919
 that most of you

00:27:28.919 --> 00:27:29.779
 would believe in these things

00:27:29.779 --> 00:27:30.459
 which is good

00:27:30.459 --> 00:27:31.079
 it is true

00:27:31.079 --> 00:27:32.359
 they're absolutes

00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:34.220
 Socrates' premises

00:27:34.220 --> 00:27:34.220


00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:35.459
 Aristotle's premises

00:27:35.459 --> 00:27:36.279
 what she takes is

00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:37.339
 A is A

00:27:37.339 --> 00:27:38.519
 A is never a non-A

00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:39.899
 2 plus 2 never equals 5

00:27:39.899 --> 00:27:41.039
 it will always equal 4

00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:42.740
 so she's really trying

00:27:42.740 --> 00:27:43.599
 to combat this

00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:45.559
 liberal order of thinking

00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:46.879
 that things are relative

00:27:46.879 --> 00:27:48.460
 but she even tries

00:27:48.460 --> 00:27:49.339
 to define that

00:27:49.339 --> 00:27:50.519
 define happiness

00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:51.659
 as an absolute thing

00:27:51.659 --> 00:27:52.720
 that can be achieved

00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:53.339
 by man

00:27:53.339 --> 00:27:54.839
 which I agree

00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:55.879
 with her to an extent

00:27:55.879 --> 00:27:56.559
 but I'm going to read

00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:57.319
 to you this excerpt

00:27:57.319 --> 00:27:58.159
 from the main character

00:27:58.159 --> 00:27:58.720
 her hero

00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:00.180
 and you're going to see

00:28:00.180 --> 00:28:00.779
 the flaws

00:28:00.779 --> 00:28:02.420
 in his happiness

00:28:02.420 --> 00:28:04.159
 and where he finds his joy

00:28:04.159 --> 00:28:06.480
 happiness

00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:07.579
 is the successful

00:28:07.579 --> 00:28:08.480
 state of life

00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:10.139
 pain is an agent

00:28:10.139 --> 00:28:10.720
 of death

00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:13.680
 happiness is that

00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:14.759
 state of consciousness

00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:15.920
 which proceeds

00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:17.220
 from the achievement

00:28:17.220 --> 00:28:18.319
 of one's values

00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:19.740
 a morality

00:28:19.740 --> 00:28:21.000
 that dares to tell you

00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:23.380
 to find happiness

00:28:23.380 --> 00:28:24.259
 in the renunciation

00:28:24.259 --> 00:28:25.539
 of your happiness

00:28:25.539 --> 00:28:26.860
 to value

00:28:26.860 --> 00:28:27.440
 the failure

00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:28.319
 of your values

00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:29.720
 is an insolent negation

00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:30.380
 of morality

00:28:30.380 --> 00:28:32.079
 a doctrine

00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:32.819
 that gives you

00:28:32.819 --> 00:28:33.819
 as an ideal

00:28:33.819 --> 00:28:35.759
 the role of a sacrificial animal

00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:37.160
 seeking slaughter

00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:38.400
 on the altars of others

00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:40.339
 is giving you death

00:28:40.339 --> 00:28:41.639
 as your standard

00:28:41.639 --> 00:28:43.500
 by the grace of reality

00:28:43.500 --> 00:28:44.559
 and the nature of life

00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:45.159
 man

00:28:45.159 --> 00:28:46.039
 every man

00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:47.139
 is an end

00:28:47.139 --> 00:28:47.879
 in himself

00:28:47.879 --> 00:28:49.980
 he exists for his own sake

00:28:49.980 --> 00:28:51.240
 and the achievement

00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:52.099
 of his own happiness

00:28:52.099 --> 00:28:53.459
 is his highest

00:28:53.459 --> 00:28:54.799
 moral purpose

00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:56.659
 but neither life

00:28:56.659 --> 00:28:57.220
 nor happiness

00:28:57.220 --> 00:28:58.019
 can be achieved

00:28:58.019 --> 00:28:58.799
 by the pursuit

00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:00.000
 of irrational whims

00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:01.439
 just as man

00:29:01.439 --> 00:29:01.859
 is free

00:29:01.859 --> 00:29:02.500
 to attempt

00:29:02.500 --> 00:29:03.319
 to survive

00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:04.759
 in any random manner

00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:06.140
 but will perish

00:29:06.140 --> 00:29:07.559
 unless he lives

00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:08.859
 as his nature requires

00:29:08.859 --> 00:29:10.059
 so he is free

00:29:10.059 --> 00:29:10.799
 to seek

00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:11.640
 his happiness

00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:13.700
 and any mindless fraud

00:29:13.700 --> 00:29:14.799
 the torture

00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:15.440
 of frustration

00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:16.180
 and all his

00:29:16.180 --> 00:29:17.460
 all he will find

00:29:17.460 --> 00:29:18.660
 unless he seeks

00:29:18.660 --> 00:29:19.259
 the happiness

00:29:19.259 --> 00:29:20.119
 proper to man

00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:21.559
 the purpose of morality

00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:22.359
 is to teach you

00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:24.619
 not to suffer

00:29:24.619 --> 00:29:25.519
 and die

00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:27.680
 but to enjoy yourself

00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:28.660
 and live

00:29:28.660 --> 00:29:30.539
 so I would say yes

00:29:30.539 --> 00:29:32.460
 by and large

00:29:32.460 --> 00:29:32.960
 I agree

00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:33.940
 with that

00:29:33.940 --> 00:29:34.859
 conclusion

00:29:34.859 --> 00:29:35.639
 of that statement

00:29:35.639 --> 00:29:37.000
 a man is

00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:37.940
 supposed to find

00:29:37.940 --> 00:29:38.379
 his happiness

00:29:38.379 --> 00:29:38.759
 in the way

00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:39.319
 that he lives

00:29:39.319 --> 00:29:40.579
 and his purpose

00:29:40.579 --> 00:29:41.159
 of life

00:29:41.159 --> 00:29:42.879
 and she is

00:29:42.879 --> 00:29:43.139
 again

00:29:43.139 --> 00:29:43.659
 she is combating

00:29:43.659 --> 00:29:44.159
 several different

00:29:44.159 --> 00:29:44.639
 things in here

00:29:44.639 --> 00:29:45.079
 so I don't

00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:45.579
 I would love

00:29:45.579 --> 00:29:46.740
 I highly encourage

00:29:46.740 --> 00:29:47.079
 many of you

00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:47.619
 to read it

00:29:47.619 --> 00:29:48.740
 it's been considered

00:29:48.740 --> 00:29:49.599
 next to the Bible

00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:50.379
 second to the Bible

00:29:50.379 --> 00:29:51.180
 the most influential

00:29:51.180 --> 00:29:52.259
 book in American history

00:29:52.259 --> 00:29:54.839
 however

00:29:54.839 --> 00:29:57.139
 me trying to understand

00:29:57.139 --> 00:29:58.839
 what her

00:29:58.839 --> 00:30:00.039
 joy

00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:00.399
 and what her

00:30:00.399 --> 00:30:01.259
 happiness looks like

00:30:01.259 --> 00:30:01.859
 it's really a

00:30:01.859 --> 00:30:02.480
 changing thing

00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:02.960
 which is kind of

00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:03.299
 ironic

00:30:03.299 --> 00:30:03.960
 it's relative

00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:05.200
 to her circumstances

00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:06.839
 she

00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:07.639
 Ayn Rand

00:30:07.639 --> 00:30:08.139
 the author

00:30:08.139 --> 00:30:09.379
 never really found

00:30:09.379 --> 00:30:10.379
 the joy

00:30:10.379 --> 00:30:11.259
 that she believed

00:30:11.259 --> 00:30:12.079
 she was looking for

00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:13.099
 she may have

00:30:13.099 --> 00:30:13.940
 defended that she was

00:30:13.940 --> 00:30:15.079
 happy her entire life

00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:15.879
 that she found

00:30:15.879 --> 00:30:16.339
 the joy

00:30:16.339 --> 00:30:17.299
 that was not

00:30:17.299 --> 00:30:17.779
 perishable

00:30:17.779 --> 00:30:18.500
 for the 80 years

00:30:18.500 --> 00:30:18.940
 that she lived

00:30:18.940 --> 00:30:19.339
 on earth

00:30:19.339 --> 00:30:20.759
 I think it was

00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:21.680
 like 75 years

00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:24.399
 but at the same time

00:30:24.399 --> 00:30:25.079
 I can tell you

00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:25.839
 that she did not

00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:27.799
 she met a man

00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:28.240
 when she moved

00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:28.700
 to America

00:30:28.700 --> 00:30:29.659
 from the Soviet Union

00:30:29.660 --> 00:30:31.519
 in 1929

00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:32.680
 and married him

00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:33.620
 they were married

00:30:33.620 --> 00:30:35.360
 for 50 years

00:30:35.360 --> 00:30:36.600
 which is incredible

00:30:36.600 --> 00:30:38.140
 and you can look

00:30:38.140 --> 00:30:38.519
 at that

00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:39.040
 externally

00:30:39.040 --> 00:30:39.480
 you can say

00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:40.080
 that's someone

00:30:40.080 --> 00:30:40.680
 who was probably

00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:41.740
 very pleased

00:30:41.740 --> 00:30:42.640
 with their marriage

00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:43.779
 very happy

00:30:43.779 --> 00:30:44.380
 and content

00:30:44.380 --> 00:30:45.200
 found a lot

00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:45.700
 of pleasure

00:30:45.700 --> 00:30:47.140
 in that relationship

00:30:47.140 --> 00:30:48.200
 she even

00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:48.800
 dedicated

00:30:48.800 --> 00:30:49.920
 Atlas Shrugged

00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:50.740
 to her husband

00:30:50.740 --> 00:30:51.480
 Frank O'Connor

00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:53.700
 and Atlas Shrugged

00:30:53.700 --> 00:30:54.160
 was considered

00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:54.400
 her

00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:55.500
 the magnum

00:30:55.500 --> 00:30:55.880
 office

00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:56.259
 was like

00:30:56.259 --> 00:30:57.100
 the main piece

00:30:57.100 --> 00:30:57.460
 of work

00:30:57.460 --> 00:30:58.220
 that defined

00:30:58.220 --> 00:30:58.940
 her as an author

00:30:58.940 --> 00:31:00.720
 that sent her

00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:01.539
 straight into fame

00:31:01.539 --> 00:31:04.880
 I learned

00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:05.519
 this week

00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:06.059
 that she had

00:31:06.059 --> 00:31:07.559
 a 14 year affair

00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:09.400
 with her best friend's

00:31:09.400 --> 00:31:09.720
 husband

00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:11.460
 at the end

00:31:11.460 --> 00:31:12.559
 of her 50 years

00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:12.960
 of marriage

00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:14.079
 so in the last

00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:14.600
 14 years

00:31:14.600 --> 00:31:15.120
 of her 50 year

00:31:15.120 --> 00:31:15.480
 marriage

00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:16.400
 it was obvious

00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:16.880
 that she was not

00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:17.160
 content

00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:17.700
 it was obvious

00:31:17.700 --> 00:31:18.160
 that she was not

00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:18.579
 pleased

00:31:18.579 --> 00:31:19.380
 and happy

00:31:19.380 --> 00:31:20.240
 she could not

00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:20.920
 find her pleasure

00:31:20.920 --> 00:31:21.779
 and joy

00:31:21.779 --> 00:31:22.660
 in her husband

00:31:22.660 --> 00:31:23.559
 in her relationship

00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:24.880
 the man that she

00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:25.480
 dedicated her

00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:26.000
 greatest work

00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:26.200
 to

00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:28.640
 and she does

00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:29.299
 a great job

00:31:29.299 --> 00:31:29.940
 at arguing

00:31:29.940 --> 00:31:31.559
 the non-absolutes

00:31:31.559 --> 00:31:32.299
 of faith

00:31:32.299 --> 00:31:33.880
 of religion

00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:36.019
 she never once

00:31:36.019 --> 00:31:36.860
 mentions Christ

00:31:36.860 --> 00:31:38.079
 at no point in time

00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:38.860
 does she ever mention

00:31:38.860 --> 00:31:39.339
 Jesus Christ

00:31:39.339 --> 00:31:39.900
 she constantly

00:31:39.900 --> 00:31:40.779
 mentions God

00:31:40.779 --> 00:31:41.920
 she mentions

00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:42.620
 the origins

00:31:42.620 --> 00:31:43.120
 of sin

00:31:43.120 --> 00:31:44.440
 but she doesn't

00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:45.180
 hone in on the

00:31:45.180 --> 00:31:46.180
 absolute truth

00:31:46.180 --> 00:31:47.299
 that Jesus Christ

00:31:47.299 --> 00:31:47.720
 came

00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:48.279
 she doesn't

00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:49.019
 acknowledge that

00:31:49.019 --> 00:31:49.880
 even though

00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:50.620
 there are facts

00:31:50.620 --> 00:31:51.599
 we have it

00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:52.099
 in our scripture

00:31:52.099 --> 00:31:52.740
 it's revealed

00:31:52.740 --> 00:31:53.660
 to us by men

00:31:53.660 --> 00:31:54.599
 who saw him

00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:55.579
 that Jesus

00:31:55.579 --> 00:31:56.259
 was an absolute

00:31:56.259 --> 00:31:57.639
 if Jesus came

00:31:57.639 --> 00:31:58.759
 he came to die

00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:00.039
 if he came to die

00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:01.219
 he also came to rise again

00:32:01.219 --> 00:32:02.319
 and he did that

00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:03.579
 and therefore

00:32:03.579 --> 00:32:04.459
 we know that we can

00:32:04.459 --> 00:32:05.259
 find our joy

00:32:05.259 --> 00:32:06.379
 in the absolute

00:32:06.379 --> 00:32:07.899
 of the personhood

00:32:07.899 --> 00:32:08.659
 of Jesus Christ

00:32:08.659 --> 00:32:11.240
 in tying all that

00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:11.459
 together

00:32:11.459 --> 00:32:12.000
 I'm going to read you

00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:12.619
 one more quote

00:32:12.619 --> 00:32:15.500
 from Charles Spurgeon

00:32:15.500 --> 00:32:16.199
 in a book

00:32:16.199 --> 00:32:17.240
 that was given to me

00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:18.859
 by a dear friend of mine

00:32:18.859 --> 00:32:19.179
 it's called

00:32:19.179 --> 00:32:20.379
 God's Joy in Your Heart

00:32:20.379 --> 00:32:22.219
 I highly recommend it

00:32:22.219 --> 00:32:22.619
 for anybody

00:32:22.619 --> 00:32:23.519
 who just struggles

00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:24.079
 emotionally

00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:25.119
 wakes up in the morning

00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:26.159
 and does not feel

00:32:26.159 --> 00:32:27.259
 your heart pulled

00:32:27.259 --> 00:32:28.119
 towards Christ

00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:30.559
 finds that you are

00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:31.480
 depressed often

00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:33.279
 this book

00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:34.519
 is a topical book

00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:35.119
 so you don't necessarily

00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:35.639
 need to start

00:32:35.639 --> 00:32:36.179
 in chapter 1

00:32:36.179 --> 00:32:37.539
 and read to chapter 15

00:32:37.539 --> 00:32:38.519
 you can pick up

00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:39.159
 in any chapter

00:32:39.159 --> 00:32:40.299
 and read that subject

00:32:40.299 --> 00:32:41.939
 so I'm going to read

00:32:41.939 --> 00:32:42.359
 to you

00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:43.779
 something that defines

00:32:43.779 --> 00:32:45.099
 how we as Christians

00:32:45.099 --> 00:32:47.339
 see our identity

00:32:47.339 --> 00:32:48.399
 in the salvation

00:32:48.399 --> 00:32:49.639
 given to us by Christ

00:32:49.639 --> 00:32:51.740
 that produces joy

00:32:51.740 --> 00:32:55.599
 suppose me to be

00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:56.380
 in fear

00:32:56.380 --> 00:32:57.259
 about the health

00:32:57.259 --> 00:32:58.319
 of some dear friend

00:32:58.319 --> 00:32:59.460
 well I say

00:32:59.460 --> 00:33:01.000
 I should like to have

00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:01.740
 my friend healthy

00:33:01.740 --> 00:33:03.180
 but I want to feel safe

00:33:03.180 --> 00:33:03.920
 about that friend

00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:05.579
 I do not know anything

00:33:05.579 --> 00:33:06.539
 about the state of my friend

00:33:06.539 --> 00:33:07.039
 just now

00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:07.740
 and I am uneasy

00:33:07.740 --> 00:33:08.980
 now I tell you

00:33:08.980 --> 00:33:10.819
 if I could get to feel easy

00:33:10.819 --> 00:33:12.140
 then I would be convinced

00:33:12.140 --> 00:33:13.120
 that my friend is well

00:33:13.120 --> 00:33:15.380
 why you would justly reply

00:33:15.380 --> 00:33:16.359
 there is no connection

00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:17.400
 between the two things

00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:19.180
 the proper mode of procedure

00:33:19.180 --> 00:33:19.880
 is to find out

00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:20.880
 whether your friend is well

00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:22.440
 and then you will feel easy

00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:23.620
 you say

00:33:23.620 --> 00:33:24.340
 I would believe

00:33:24.340 --> 00:33:24.940
 I am saved

00:33:24.940 --> 00:33:25.760
 if I felt happy

00:33:25.760 --> 00:33:26.860
 is there any logic

00:33:26.860 --> 00:33:27.280
 in that

00:33:27.280 --> 00:33:28.140
 on the contrary

00:33:28.140 --> 00:33:29.680
 first believe

00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:30.560
 that you are saved

00:33:30.560 --> 00:33:31.440
 and the happiness

00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:32.060
 will follow

00:33:32.060 --> 00:33:33.460
 you cannot believe

00:33:33.460 --> 00:33:34.400
 that you are saved

00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:35.140
 while you persist

00:33:35.140 --> 00:33:36.100
 in doing what God

00:33:36.100 --> 00:33:36.960
 does not tell you to do

00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:37.640
 namely looking

00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:38.360
 to your own joy

00:33:38.360 --> 00:33:38.960
 and peace

00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:40.140
 instead of looking

00:33:40.140 --> 00:33:41.160
 to the finished work

00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:42.040
 of Jesus Christ

00:33:42.040 --> 00:33:43.680
 Christian men

00:33:43.680 --> 00:33:44.220
 are but men

00:33:44.220 --> 00:33:46.380
 when they have

00:33:46.380 --> 00:33:46.960
 a bad liver

00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:48.560
 or an attack on bile

00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:49.440
 this was written like

00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:50.519
 150 years ago

00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:52.759
 or some trial

00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:54.379
 and then

00:33:54.379 --> 00:33:55.539
 they get depressed

00:33:55.539 --> 00:33:56.440
 if they have

00:33:56.440 --> 00:33:57.960
 ever so much grace

00:33:57.960 --> 00:33:59.240
 I would defy

00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:00.720
 the apostle Paul himself

00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:01.740
 to help it

00:34:01.740 --> 00:34:03.139
 and what then

00:34:03.139 --> 00:34:03.899
 well

00:34:03.899 --> 00:34:05.440
 then you can get joy

00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:05.799
 and peace

00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:06.359
 through believing

00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:07.819
 I am the subject

00:34:07.819 --> 00:34:08.799
 of depressions

00:34:08.799 --> 00:34:09.320
 of spirit

00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:10.159
 so fearful

00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:10.639
 that I hope

00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:11.099
 none of you

00:34:11.099 --> 00:34:11.739
 ever gets

00:34:11.739 --> 00:34:12.559
 to such extremes

00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:13.159
 of wretchedness

00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:13.759
 as I go to

00:34:13.759 --> 00:34:15.000
 Charles Spurgeon

00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:15.779
 struggled with depression

00:34:15.779 --> 00:34:16.559
 his entire life

00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:18.400
 despite being

00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:19.659
 one of the

00:34:19.659 --> 00:34:21.500
 most faithful men

00:34:21.500 --> 00:34:22.400
 to preaching the gospel

00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:26.599
 but I always go back

00:34:26.599 --> 00:34:27.860
 again by this

00:34:27.860 --> 00:34:28.960
 or I always get back

00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:29.659
 again by this

00:34:29.659 --> 00:34:31.000
 I know I trust Christ

00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:32.739
 I have no reliance

00:34:32.739 --> 00:34:33.400
 but in him

00:34:33.400 --> 00:34:34.960
 if he falls

00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:36.059
 I shall fall with him

00:34:36.059 --> 00:34:37.639
 but if he does not

00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:38.420
 I shall not

00:34:38.420 --> 00:34:39.880
 because if he lives

00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:41.279
 I shall live also

00:34:41.279 --> 00:34:42.860
 and I spring to my legs

00:34:42.860 --> 00:34:43.679
 again and fight

00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:44.599
 with my depressions

00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:45.099
 of spirit

00:34:45.099 --> 00:34:46.639
 and my downcast soul

00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:47.860
 and get the victory

00:34:47.860 --> 00:34:48.400
 through it

00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:49.699
 so may you do

00:34:49.699 --> 00:34:50.940
 and so you must

00:34:50.940 --> 00:34:52.380
 for there is no other

00:34:52.380 --> 00:34:53.000
 way of escaping

00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:53.480
 from it

00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:54.920
 in your most

00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:55.759
 depressed seasons

00:34:55.759 --> 00:34:57.420
 you are to get joy

00:34:57.420 --> 00:34:58.199
 and peace

00:34:58.199 --> 00:34:59.119
 through believing

00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:02.420
 now how does the

00:35:02.420 --> 00:35:03.119
 Christian express

00:35:03.119 --> 00:35:03.619
 their joy

00:35:03.619 --> 00:35:04.380
 we know that they

00:35:04.380 --> 00:35:05.460
 can find their joy

00:35:05.460 --> 00:35:07.079
 in their faith

00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:07.960
 in their belief

00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:08.579
 in the gospel

00:35:08.579 --> 00:35:09.619
 they know that

00:35:09.619 --> 00:35:10.759
 they can be reassured

00:35:10.759 --> 00:35:11.779
 of Jesus

00:35:11.779 --> 00:35:12.619
 who he is

00:35:12.619 --> 00:35:13.279
 who he says he is

00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:13.880
 and what he has done

00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:14.900
 in his word

00:35:14.900 --> 00:35:16.540
 so now as the Christian

00:35:16.540 --> 00:35:17.360
 how do we express that

00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:18.519
 we express it in two ways

00:35:18.519 --> 00:35:21.320
 so living out of the gospel

00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:24.340
 is one expression

00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.900
 of your joy

00:35:24.900 --> 00:35:27.000
 and a partnership

00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:28.780
 in the gospel

00:35:28.780 --> 00:35:31.540
 so living out by the gospel

00:35:31.540 --> 00:35:32.560
 or living out the gospel

00:35:32.560 --> 00:35:33.200
 in your life

00:35:33.200 --> 00:35:34.720
 turn to Philippians 4

00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:50.759
 I'm going to read

00:35:50.759 --> 00:35:51.819
 in verse 4

00:35:51.819 --> 00:35:53.219
 through 7

00:35:53.219 --> 00:35:56.099
 and this is Paul again

00:35:56.099 --> 00:35:57.959
 reassuring the people

00:35:57.959 --> 00:35:58.559
 of the faith

00:35:58.559 --> 00:35:59.279
 that they have

00:35:59.279 --> 00:36:01.959
 letting them know

00:36:01.959 --> 00:36:02.419
 that they now

00:36:02.419 --> 00:36:03.539
 get to live that out

00:36:03.539 --> 00:36:06.659
 he says

00:36:06.659 --> 00:36:07.960
 rejoice in the Lord

00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:08.380
 always

00:36:08.380 --> 00:36:09.519
 again I will say

00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:10.239
 rejoice

00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:12.019
 let your gentle spirit

00:36:12.019 --> 00:36:13.059
 be known to all men

00:36:13.059 --> 00:36:14.360
 the Lord is near

00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:16.380
 be anxious for nothing

00:36:16.380 --> 00:36:17.900
 but in everything

00:36:17.900 --> 00:36:18.559
 by prayer

00:36:18.559 --> 00:36:19.500
 and supplication

00:36:19.500 --> 00:36:21.159
 with thanksgiving

00:36:21.159 --> 00:36:22.440
 let your request

00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:23.599
 be made known to God

00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:24.800
 and the peace of God

00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:25.719
 which surpasses

00:36:25.719 --> 00:36:26.980
 all comprehension

00:36:26.980 --> 00:36:28.179
 will guard your hearts

00:36:28.179 --> 00:36:29.619
 and your minds

00:36:29.619 --> 00:36:31.340
 in Christ Jesus

00:36:31.340 --> 00:36:34.260
 so not that they have

00:36:34.260 --> 00:36:34.740
 Christ

00:36:34.740 --> 00:36:36.600
 they should be rejoicing

00:36:36.600 --> 00:36:37.300
 and he's telling them

00:36:37.300 --> 00:36:38.220
 you should live that out

00:36:38.220 --> 00:36:42.539
 lastly

00:36:42.539 --> 00:36:43.820
 in the partnership

00:36:43.820 --> 00:36:44.380
 of the gospel

00:36:44.380 --> 00:36:45.460
 and this is ultimately

00:36:45.460 --> 00:36:46.380
 what Paul is

00:36:46.380 --> 00:36:48.000
 rejoicing in

00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:48.300
 throughout

00:36:48.300 --> 00:36:49.400
 the book of

00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:50.579
 Philippians

00:36:50.579 --> 00:36:51.480
 is he's rejoicing

00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:51.960
 in the partnership

00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:52.780
 that he now has

00:36:52.780 --> 00:36:53.220
 with the people

00:36:53.220 --> 00:36:53.760
 of Philippians

00:36:53.760 --> 00:36:54.519
 hearing

00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:56.180
 that they are

00:36:56.180 --> 00:36:56.800
 faithful

00:36:56.800 --> 00:36:58.039
 to the gospel

00:36:58.039 --> 00:36:59.019
 that he got to bring

00:36:59.019 --> 00:36:59.480
 to them

00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:00.980
 they've placed their faith

00:37:00.980 --> 00:37:01.840
 and hope

00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:02.800
 in Jesus Christ

00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:05.780
 there are several

00:37:05.780 --> 00:37:06.420
 different verses

00:37:06.420 --> 00:37:09.480
 that identify this

00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:10.360
 I'm just going to start

00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:11.039
 from the very beginning

00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:11.699
 and I'm going to read them

00:37:11.699 --> 00:37:12.039
 to you

00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:14.300
 you can write them down

00:37:14.300 --> 00:37:14.860
 take a note

00:37:14.860 --> 00:37:15.940
 Philippians 1

00:37:15.940 --> 00:37:16.719
 3-5

00:37:16.719 --> 00:37:17.820
 so this is in his introduction

00:37:17.820 --> 00:37:20.000
 I thank my God

00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:20.760
 and all my remembrance

00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:21.080
 of you

00:37:21.080 --> 00:37:22.160
 always offering prayer

00:37:22.160 --> 00:37:22.760
 with joy

00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:23.720
 in my every prayer

00:37:23.720 --> 00:37:24.360
 for you all

00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:25.559
 in view of your

00:37:25.559 --> 00:37:26.340
 participation

00:37:26.340 --> 00:37:27.760
 in the gospel

00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:29.160
 from the first day

00:37:29.160 --> 00:37:30.100
 until now

00:37:30.100 --> 00:37:32.460
 Philippians 1-21

00:37:32.460 --> 00:37:35.519
 for to me

00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:36.440
 to live is Christ

00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:37.400
 and to die is gain

00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:38.860
 but I am to live on

00:37:38.860 --> 00:37:39.460
 in the flesh

00:37:39.460 --> 00:37:40.460
 this will mean

00:37:40.460 --> 00:37:41.480
 fruitful labor for me

00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:42.460
 and I do not know

00:37:42.460 --> 00:37:43.139
 which to choose

00:37:43.139 --> 00:37:44.340
 but I am hard pressed

00:37:44.340 --> 00:37:45.260
 from both directions

00:37:45.260 --> 00:37:46.119
 having the desire

00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:46.599
 to depart

00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:47.420
 and be with Christ

00:37:47.420 --> 00:37:48.480
 for that is far

00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:49.019
 much better

00:37:49.019 --> 00:37:51.059
 yet to remain on

00:37:51.059 --> 00:37:51.519
 in the flesh

00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:52.280
 is more necessary

00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:53.099
 for your sake

00:37:53.099 --> 00:37:54.380
 convinced of this

00:37:54.380 --> 00:37:55.619
 I know that I will

00:37:55.619 --> 00:37:56.280
 remain and continue

00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:56.820
 with you all

00:37:56.820 --> 00:37:57.679
 for your progress

00:37:57.679 --> 00:37:58.280
 and joy

00:37:58.280 --> 00:37:58.920
 in the faith

00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:00.099
 so that your proud

00:38:00.099 --> 00:38:01.019
 confidence in me

00:38:01.019 --> 00:38:01.519
 may abound

00:38:01.519 --> 00:38:02.179
 in Christ Jesus

00:38:02.179 --> 00:38:03.480
 through my coming

00:38:03.480 --> 00:38:04.079
 to you again

00:38:04.079 --> 00:38:05.440
 so Paul's joy

00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:06.139
 is made complete

00:38:06.139 --> 00:38:06.719
 in knowing

00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:07.279
 and partnering

00:38:07.279 --> 00:38:07.940
 with people

00:38:07.940 --> 00:38:08.980
 who desire

00:38:08.980 --> 00:38:09.919
 to know Christ

00:38:09.919 --> 00:38:12.639
 Philippians 2

00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:14.440
 1-5

00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:15.719
 therefore if there is

00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:16.279
 any encouragement

00:38:16.279 --> 00:38:16.719
 in Christ

00:38:16.719 --> 00:38:17.399
 if there is any

00:38:17.399 --> 00:38:18.399
 consolation of love

00:38:18.399 --> 00:38:18.940
 if there is any

00:38:18.940 --> 00:38:20.059
 fellowship of the spirit

00:38:20.059 --> 00:38:21.039
 if any affection

00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:21.639
 and compassion

00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:23.039
 make my joy complete

00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:24.960
 by being of the same mind

00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:26.559
 maintaining the same love

00:38:26.559 --> 00:38:28.000
 united in spirit

00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:29.279
 intent on one purpose

00:38:29.279 --> 00:38:30.639
 do nothing from selfish

00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:31.579
 or empty conceit

00:38:31.579 --> 00:38:33.440
 but with humility

00:38:33.440 --> 00:38:34.079
 of mind

00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:35.059
 regard one another

00:38:35.059 --> 00:38:35.799
 as more important

00:38:35.799 --> 00:38:36.380
 than yourselves

00:38:36.380 --> 00:38:37.559
 do not merely look out

00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:38.299
 for your own personal

00:38:38.299 --> 00:38:39.019
 interests

00:38:39.019 --> 00:38:39.980
 but also for the

00:38:39.980 --> 00:38:40.799
 interests of others

00:38:40.799 --> 00:38:42.039
 have this attitude

00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:42.679
 in yourselves

00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:43.679
 which was also

00:38:43.679 --> 00:38:44.719
 in Christ Jesus

00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:47.139
 his joy

00:38:47.139 --> 00:38:47.840
 is made complete

00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:48.659
 by those

00:38:48.659 --> 00:38:50.159
 who are living

00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:51.019
 like Christ Jesus

00:38:51.019 --> 00:38:52.860
 by seeing their life

00:38:52.860 --> 00:38:53.360
 lived out

00:38:53.360 --> 00:38:54.980
 Philippians 2

00:38:54.980 --> 00:38:55.539
 29

00:38:55.539 --> 00:38:58.440
 receive him

00:38:58.440 --> 00:38:58.840
 and he's talking

00:38:58.840 --> 00:38:59.960
 about Epaphroditus

00:38:59.960 --> 00:39:00.980
 a man that he's sending

00:39:00.980 --> 00:39:01.679
 he may have sent

00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:03.079
 this letter with him

00:39:03.079 --> 00:39:03.720
 to the Philippians

00:39:03.720 --> 00:39:05.019
 receive him then

00:39:05.019 --> 00:39:05.440
 in the Lord

00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:06.300
 with all joy

00:39:06.300 --> 00:39:07.300
 and hold men like him

00:39:07.300 --> 00:39:07.940
 in high regard

00:39:07.940 --> 00:39:09.220
 because he came close

00:39:09.220 --> 00:39:10.000
 to death for the work

00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:10.460
 of Christ

00:39:10.460 --> 00:39:11.260
 risking his life

00:39:11.260 --> 00:39:11.760
 to complete

00:39:11.760 --> 00:39:12.780
 what was deficient

00:39:12.780 --> 00:39:13.599
 in your service

00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:14.099
 to me

00:39:14.099 --> 00:39:17.500
 in Philippians 4

00:39:17.500 --> 00:39:17.840
 1

00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:19.840
 therefore my beloved

00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:20.240
 brethren

00:39:20.240 --> 00:39:21.519
 whom I long to see

00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:22.280
 my joy

00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:23.119
 and crown

00:39:23.119 --> 00:39:24.800
 in this way

00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:25.699
 stand firm

00:39:25.699 --> 00:39:26.260
 in the Lord

00:39:26.260 --> 00:39:27.280
 my beloved

00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:29.360
 again

00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:30.440
 Paul's joy

00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:31.600
 is expressed

00:39:31.600 --> 00:39:32.480
 in his partnership

00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:33.780
 in the gospel

00:39:33.780 --> 00:39:34.780
 with the Philippians

00:39:34.780 --> 00:39:36.460
 we as believers

00:39:36.460 --> 00:39:37.120
 our joy

00:39:37.120 --> 00:39:38.040
 should be made

00:39:38.040 --> 00:39:38.860
 it should be expressed

00:39:38.860 --> 00:39:39.660
 it should be found

00:39:39.660 --> 00:39:41.000
 in the compilation

00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:42.960
 of partnership

00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:43.580
 of the gospel

00:39:43.580 --> 00:39:45.019
 and us gathering

00:39:45.019 --> 00:39:45.640
 as believers

00:39:45.640 --> 00:39:46.860
 not just on Sundays

00:39:46.860 --> 00:39:47.700
 on Mondays

00:39:47.700 --> 00:39:48.380
 through Fridays

00:39:48.380 --> 00:39:49.240
 and Saturdays

00:39:49.240 --> 00:39:50.400
 in our community groups

00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:51.400
 in our discipleship groups

00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:52.440
 all of these different things

00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:53.220
 in your family

00:39:53.220 --> 00:39:54.760
 for those who have

00:39:54.760 --> 00:39:55.760
 Christian families

00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:56.920
 that you get to go home to

00:39:56.920 --> 00:39:57.720
 on the holidays

00:39:57.720 --> 00:39:58.280
 rejoice

00:39:58.280 --> 00:39:59.640
 and be glad in that

00:39:59.640 --> 00:40:00.880
 find joy

00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:01.780
 in that partnership

00:40:01.780 --> 00:40:02.760
 that you have with them

00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:07.840
 I'm going to read something

00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:08.900
 you don't have to turn here

00:40:08.900 --> 00:40:10.400
 but this kind of

00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:12.920
 I was reminded of this

00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:13.820
 in reading through

00:40:13.820 --> 00:40:15.960
 that climax

00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:16.920
 of Atlas Shrugged

00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:19.540
 and then I turned here

00:40:19.540 --> 00:40:20.440
 the other day

00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:21.880
 just to be reaffirmed

00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:23.620
 at the absolute

00:40:23.620 --> 00:40:24.920
 of Jesus Christ

00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:25.780
 the truth

00:40:25.780 --> 00:40:26.840
 the truth

00:40:26.840 --> 00:40:27.720
 that Jesus Christ

00:40:27.720 --> 00:40:28.220
 has come

00:40:28.220 --> 00:40:30.579
 comes from 1 John

00:40:30.579 --> 00:40:31.940
 1-1

00:40:31.940 --> 00:40:32.940
 the introduction

00:40:32.940 --> 00:40:36.220
 of John's epistle

00:40:36.220 --> 00:40:38.420
 I love reading John

00:40:38.420 --> 00:40:39.539
 because he has to make it

00:40:39.539 --> 00:40:40.240
 very clear

00:40:40.240 --> 00:40:42.780
 that he witnessed the Christ

00:40:42.780 --> 00:40:44.599
 in so many different ways

00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:45.720
 he wasn't

00:40:45.720 --> 00:40:46.940
 he wasn't some aberration

00:40:46.940 --> 00:40:48.860
 he witnessed him

00:40:48.860 --> 00:40:49.680
 in his person

00:40:49.680 --> 00:40:51.260
 he saw his crucifixion

00:40:51.260 --> 00:40:53.400
 and he saw his risen body

00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:54.780
 walking and eating with him

00:40:54.780 --> 00:40:56.940
 so he opens up

00:40:56.940 --> 00:40:57.660
 in 1 John

00:40:57.660 --> 00:40:59.120
 he said

00:40:59.120 --> 00:41:00.640
 what was from the beginning

00:41:00.640 --> 00:41:02.220
 what we have heard

00:41:02.220 --> 00:41:03.580
 what we have seen

00:41:03.580 --> 00:41:04.500
 with our eyes

00:41:04.500 --> 00:41:05.940
 what we have looked at

00:41:05.940 --> 00:41:07.160
 and touched with our hands

00:41:07.160 --> 00:41:09.080
 concerning the word of life

00:41:09.080 --> 00:41:10.000
 and the life

00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:10.840
 was manifested

00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:12.519
 and we have seen

00:41:12.519 --> 00:41:13.120
 and testify

00:41:13.120 --> 00:41:14.300
 and proclaim to you

00:41:14.300 --> 00:41:15.460
 the eternal life

00:41:15.460 --> 00:41:17.140
 which was with the Father

00:41:17.140 --> 00:41:19.000
 and was manifested in us

00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:20.320
 what we have seen

00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:20.800
 and heard

00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:22.100
 we proclaim to you also

00:41:22.099 --> 00:41:23.440
 so that you too

00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:24.219
 may have fellowship

00:41:24.219 --> 00:41:24.980
 with us

00:41:24.980 --> 00:41:26.179
 again that's his partnership

00:41:26.179 --> 00:41:27.339
 in the gospel

00:41:27.339 --> 00:41:28.639
 and the believing of this

00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:30.099
 and indeed

00:41:30.099 --> 00:41:30.980
 our fellowship

00:41:30.980 --> 00:41:31.920
 is with the Father

00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:33.219
 and with his Son

00:41:33.219 --> 00:41:34.199
 Jesus Christ

00:41:34.199 --> 00:41:35.440
 it is made complete

00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:36.759
 in the Godhead now

00:41:36.759 --> 00:41:38.799
 these things

00:41:38.799 --> 00:41:39.519
 we write

00:41:39.519 --> 00:41:41.179
 so that our joy

00:41:41.179 --> 00:41:42.179
 may be made

00:41:42.179 --> 00:41:43.039
 complete

00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:45.239
 as John goes on

00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:46.079
 to talk about

00:41:46.079 --> 00:41:46.619
 what it means

00:41:46.619 --> 00:41:47.500
 to be a believer

00:41:47.500 --> 00:41:48.119
 in Christ

00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:49.599
 if you say you're a believer

00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:50.599
 then it will look like this

00:41:50.599 --> 00:41:51.139
 if you're not

00:41:51.139 --> 00:41:52.360
 then it will look like this

00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:54.639
 but he finds his joy

00:41:54.639 --> 00:41:55.699
 in expressing it

00:41:55.699 --> 00:41:56.739
 to the people

00:41:56.739 --> 00:41:57.800
 that Christ has come

00:41:57.800 --> 00:41:59.300
 and they've

00:41:59.300 --> 00:42:00.639
 they get to place

00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:01.599
 their faith in him now

00:42:01.599 --> 00:42:03.619
 and that he rejoices

00:42:03.619 --> 00:42:04.079
 in that

00:42:04.079 --> 00:42:05.659
 so let us

00:42:05.659 --> 00:42:06.079
 as a people

00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:07.159
 especially as we go into

00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:08.360
 we continue on

00:42:08.360 --> 00:42:09.159
 into the Advent season

00:42:09.159 --> 00:42:09.820
 let us rejoice

00:42:09.820 --> 00:42:10.719
 in the coming of Christ

00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:11.860
 that he has come once

00:42:11.860 --> 00:42:13.160
 that he died once

00:42:13.160 --> 00:42:14.140
 that he was resurrected once

00:42:14.140 --> 00:42:15.160
 and that he is coming again

00:42:15.160 --> 00:42:17.700
 as Matthew

00:42:17.700 --> 00:42:19.000
 talked about

00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:19.539
 in Revelation

00:42:19.539 --> 00:42:20.860
 like if you really want to see

00:42:20.860 --> 00:42:23.099
 the second coming of Christ

00:42:23.099 --> 00:42:24.660
 if you really want to find joy

00:42:24.660 --> 00:42:26.440
 read the entire book of Revelation

00:42:26.440 --> 00:42:27.360
 because that is something

00:42:27.360 --> 00:42:27.940
 that you will

00:42:27.940 --> 00:42:29.280
 some of you may not understand

00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:30.360
 but you're going to see

00:42:30.360 --> 00:42:32.240
 that there is joy to be had

00:42:32.240 --> 00:42:33.019
 from the believer

00:42:33.019 --> 00:42:34.440
 as Jesus comes again

00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:36.640
 not going to read anything from there

00:42:36.640 --> 00:42:38.059
 but I do highly encourage it

00:42:38.059 --> 00:42:39.780
 so let me just close in prayer

00:42:39.780 --> 00:42:41.280
 for us this morning

00:42:41.280 --> 00:42:42.280
 thank you

00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:42.280


00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:42.280


00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:42.280


00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:42.280


00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:42.280


00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:42.280


00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:42.280


00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:42.280


00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:42.780
 thank you

00:42:42.780 --> 00:42:42.780


00:42:42.780 --> 00:42:43.400
 thank you

00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:43.400


00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:43.400


00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:44.519
 thank you

00:42:44.519 --> 00:42:44.519


00:42:44.519 --> 00:42:45.580
 thank you

00:42:45.580 --> 00:42:45.580


00:42:45.580 --> 00:42:46.200
 thank you

00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200


00:42:46.200 --> 00:42:46.200
