WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.759
 good morning everyone how about if we pray as we launch into this text this morning

00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:13.000
 gracious god we thank you for your word we thank you for this time this season

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:23.440
 we recall the great event of not just the birth of a baby but the of the great god into this world

00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:29.679
 entered into our world and we ask lord now that you would enter into our hearts we ask it for

00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:38.019
 your sake amen it's the height of ambition for many five-year-olds at christmas time they're now

00:00:38.019 --> 00:00:45.480
 too old to play the baby jesus in the nativity play and the very next thing that you want to do

00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:54.939
 is you want to be mary mary's the other key player here however each one person one girl

00:00:54.939 --> 00:01:05.500
 to be selected for such dizzying heights of drama to play mary there on the central roles of the

00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:16.539
 nativity play go in descending order there's the magi there's the angels the shepherds king herod

00:01:16.540 --> 00:01:22.460
 the sheep the donkeys the cows and somewhere at the back is joseph

00:01:22.460 --> 00:01:31.060
 he often gets a very passive part in most nativity plays he only plays this often though he says a

00:01:31.060 --> 00:01:37.680
 very few lines and in fact when i often see nativity set up joseph's the guy right at the back there

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:42.400
 somewhere he's the guy looking after the sheep that's his job that's all he does

00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:48.880
 uh as you know so many husbands at the time of birth um

00:01:48.880 --> 00:01:56.400
 in most nativity's joseph says virtually none

00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:01.320
 he has a very small part to play

00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:08.359
 and the scripts often forget that the angel came to joseph too

00:02:08.359 --> 00:02:14.680
 and in fact there is something that the angel said to joseph

00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.419
 didn't say to anyone else

00:02:17.419 --> 00:02:23.319
 in the other appearances in nativity's he never said it to anyone else

00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:33.479
 the angel tells joseph in a dream that the baby born is a fulfillment of a prophecy from hundreds of years earlier

00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:39.159
 prophecy promises to dwell with his people

00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.719
 and in this interaction between joseph and the angel

00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:49.680
 we have the invaluable treasure of a name

00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.319
 emmanuel

00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:55.620
 and that's our focus this

00:02:55.620 --> 00:03:01.280
 there are three main things we learn just simply learn from the name emmanuel

00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.199
 firstly that jesus is god

00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:07.280
 that he's human

00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.639
 and that he is with us

00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:11.199
 so let's go

00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:13.699
 jesus is god

00:03:13.699 --> 00:03:16.679
 there are several ways that matthew drives home the core

00:03:16.679 --> 00:03:20.199
 christmas message that jesus is not simply

00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:21.879
 a great teacher

00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.519
 or even angelic being but in fact

00:03:25.519 --> 00:03:27.620
 that jesus is divine

00:03:27.620 --> 00:03:30.899
 in verse 20 the angels tell joseph that the human

00:03:30.899 --> 00:03:33.479
 life that's growing inside of the

00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:35.959
 Mary has not come from any

00:03:35.959 --> 00:03:38.139
 human being but from

00:03:38.139 --> 00:03:39.500
 the heavenly father

00:03:39.500 --> 00:03:41.659
 and that is jesus has

00:03:41.659 --> 00:03:43.299
 two fathers if you like

00:03:43.299 --> 00:03:45.079
 and joseph will be

00:03:45.079 --> 00:03:47.299
 jesus father only

00:03:47.299 --> 00:03:48.979
 in a secondary sense

00:03:48.979 --> 00:03:52.259
 is it my microphone's going on and off

00:03:52.259 --> 00:03:53.299
 it is isn't it

00:03:53.299 --> 00:03:55.859
 so maybe

00:03:55.859 --> 00:03:57.899
 do you want me to get another one for me

00:03:57.899 --> 00:03:59.359
 i'm not sure what the

00:03:59.359 --> 00:03:59.899
 microphone is

00:03:59.900 --> 00:04:04.640
 just dwell on that point for a moment

00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:08.520
 there we go

00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:09.960
 how about that

00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:10.620
 is that working

00:04:10.620 --> 00:04:17.500
 okay there we go

00:04:17.500 --> 00:04:19.959
 all right fantastic thank you john

00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:21.500
 and thank you sound team

00:04:21.500 --> 00:04:23.019
 um

00:04:23.019 --> 00:04:25.620
 Mary is is pregnant

00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:27.340
 by the holy spirit

00:04:27.339 --> 00:04:29.639
 god is the real father

00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:30.739
 however

00:04:30.739 --> 00:04:34.019
 the most direct statement of jesus identity

00:04:34.019 --> 00:04:35.719
 is in verse 23

00:04:35.719 --> 00:04:39.159
 matthew quotes from isaiah chapter 7

00:04:39.159 --> 00:04:40.379
 verse 14

00:04:40.379 --> 00:04:42.319
 hundreds of years before

00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.019
 the prophet says

00:04:44.019 --> 00:04:46.659
 the virgin will conceive give birth to a son

00:04:46.659 --> 00:04:49.219
 and you will call him emmanuel

00:04:49.219 --> 00:04:51.839
 which means god

00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:52.879
 with

00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:54.120
 us

00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.920
 now for centuries

00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.920
 jewish religious leaders and scholars

00:04:59.920 --> 00:05:02.620
 had known about that prophecy

00:05:02.620 --> 00:05:06.840
 but they had not thought to ever take it

00:05:06.840 --> 00:05:07.720
 literally

00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.240
 that god would be with us

00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:11.040
 literally

00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:14.939
 matthew is saying this promise is greater

00:05:14.939 --> 00:05:17.980
 than anyone imagined

00:05:17.980 --> 00:05:21.120
 jesus christ is god

00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:22.560
 with us

00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:25.139
 because the human life

00:05:25.139 --> 00:05:26.680
 growing in the womb

00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:27.800
 in of mary

00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:29.120
 was a miracle

00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:30.259
 that was performed

00:05:30.259 --> 00:05:31.819
 by god himself

00:05:31.819 --> 00:05:34.319
 this child is literally god

00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:34.560
 the

00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:35.840
 divine

00:05:35.840 --> 00:05:38.000
 in the fullest sense

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.620
 now

00:05:40.620 --> 00:05:42.519
 what makes this

00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:43.759
 so remarkable

00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:45.720
 is that matthew

00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:46.939
 who's writing this

00:05:46.939 --> 00:05:48.139
 was a jew

00:05:48.139 --> 00:05:50.939
 that's what's remarkable here

00:05:50.939 --> 00:05:53.800
 the jews

00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:55.259
 distinctive view

00:05:55.259 --> 00:05:56.240
 of god

00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:58.219
 made them

00:05:58.219 --> 00:05:59.039
 the people

00:05:59.039 --> 00:06:00.199
 on earth

00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:01.919
 least

00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:02.699
 open

00:06:02.699 --> 00:06:04.079
 to the idea

00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:05.860
 that a human being

00:06:05.860 --> 00:06:06.779
 could be god

00:06:06.779 --> 00:06:08.279
 least open

00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:09.060
 to that idea

00:06:09.060 --> 00:06:11.599
 you see the eastern religions

00:06:11.599 --> 00:06:12.180
 at the time

00:06:12.180 --> 00:06:12.860
 believed that god

00:06:12.860 --> 00:06:14.339
 was an impersonal force

00:06:14.339 --> 00:06:14.939
 that

00:06:14.939 --> 00:06:16.699
 permeated all things

00:06:16.699 --> 00:06:19.199
 and so in their

00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:20.139
 sense

00:06:20.139 --> 00:06:22.500
 god could be everywhere

00:06:22.500 --> 00:06:24.079
 god could be everywhere

00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:24.819
 with us

00:06:24.819 --> 00:06:26.939
 it wasn't unusual

00:06:26.939 --> 00:06:27.839
 for them to say

00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:29.139
 that there might be

00:06:29.139 --> 00:06:30.079
 a human being

00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:30.899
 that

00:06:30.899 --> 00:06:32.439
 particularly had

00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:32.959
 great

00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:34.180
 manifestations

00:06:34.180 --> 00:06:35.379
 of the divine

00:06:35.379 --> 00:06:36.300
 in the way that they

00:06:36.300 --> 00:06:37.199
 lived their life

00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:39.980
 western religions

00:06:39.980 --> 00:06:40.519
 at the time

00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:41.560
 believed that gods

00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:43.240
 would disguise themselves

00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:44.439
 as human beings

00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:46.019
 for their own purposes

00:06:46.019 --> 00:06:48.459
 jews

00:06:48.459 --> 00:06:48.859
 jews however

00:06:48.859 --> 00:06:49.539
 believed

00:06:49.539 --> 00:06:50.399
 distinctly

00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:51.299
 among all

00:06:51.299 --> 00:06:52.560
 other nations

00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:53.399
 and people

00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:54.459
 groups in the world

00:06:54.459 --> 00:06:55.419
 they believed

00:06:55.419 --> 00:06:56.240
 in a god

00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:57.159
 who was both

00:06:57.159 --> 00:06:57.779
 personal

00:06:57.779 --> 00:06:58.819
 and

00:06:58.819 --> 00:06:59.859
 infinite

00:06:59.859 --> 00:07:04.079
 god was not

00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:04.740
 a being

00:07:04.740 --> 00:07:05.699
 within the universe

00:07:05.699 --> 00:07:07.479
 but was instead

00:07:07.479 --> 00:07:08.379
 the ground

00:07:08.379 --> 00:07:09.099
 of the universe

00:07:09.099 --> 00:07:09.740
 existence

00:07:09.740 --> 00:07:11.459
 and infinitely

00:07:11.459 --> 00:07:12.519
 transcendent

00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:13.740
 above the universe

00:07:13.740 --> 00:07:16.120
 everything in the

00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:16.759
 human world

00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:17.579
 view was against

00:07:17.579 --> 00:07:18.360
 the idea

00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:19.420
 that god would

00:07:19.420 --> 00:07:20.199
 be close

00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:21.240
 personal

00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:22.860
 and certainly

00:07:22.860 --> 00:07:24.100
 not human

00:07:24.100 --> 00:07:28.100
 he was far

00:07:28.100 --> 00:07:29.120
 too transcendent

00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:31.300
 in fact jews

00:07:31.300 --> 00:07:31.860
 would not even

00:07:31.860 --> 00:07:33.079
 pronounce the covenant

00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:34.319
 name of their god

00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:35.540
 yahweh

00:07:35.540 --> 00:07:37.560
 they would not

00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:38.600
 even spell it

00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:40.720
 because it was

00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:41.379
 too familiar

00:07:41.379 --> 00:07:43.720
 too familiar

00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.860
 and yet

00:07:46.860 --> 00:07:47.980
 jesus christ

00:07:47.980 --> 00:07:50.160
 by his life

00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.040
 by his claims

00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:53.600
 by his resurrection

00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:54.480
 convinced

00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:55.200
 his

00:07:55.200 --> 00:07:56.180
 closest

00:07:56.180 --> 00:07:57.379
 circle

00:07:57.379 --> 00:07:58.300
 of jewish

00:07:58.300 --> 00:07:58.920
 followers

00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:00.780
 that he was

00:08:00.780 --> 00:08:01.900
 not just a prophet

00:08:01.900 --> 00:08:03.340
 telling them

00:08:03.340 --> 00:08:04.560
 how to find god

00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:06.339
 but that he was

00:08:06.339 --> 00:08:06.699
 in fact

00:08:06.699 --> 00:08:07.280
 god

00:08:07.280 --> 00:08:08.019
 himself

00:08:08.019 --> 00:08:09.780
 come

00:08:09.780 --> 00:08:10.860
 to find

00:08:10.860 --> 00:08:11.480
 us

00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:14.519
 now

00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:15.180
 matthew's not

00:08:15.180 --> 00:08:15.560
 the only

00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:15.959
 biblical

00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:16.620
 author

00:08:16.620 --> 00:08:17.240
 to teach

00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:17.660
 this

00:08:17.660 --> 00:08:18.620
 john

00:08:18.620 --> 00:08:19.319
 the apostle

00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:20.500
 paul

00:08:20.500 --> 00:08:21.220
 a jew

00:08:21.220 --> 00:08:22.720
 and a pharisee

00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:24.040
 the apostle

00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:24.540
 peter

00:08:24.540 --> 00:08:25.300
 another jewish

00:08:25.300 --> 00:08:25.540
 man

00:08:25.540 --> 00:08:25.899
 they all

00:08:25.899 --> 00:08:26.500
 declared it

 mean much

00:08:30.980 --> 00:08:31.360
 however

00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:32.340
 if jesus

00:08:32.340 --> 00:08:33.139
 himself

00:08:33.139 --> 00:08:34.559
 hadn't declared

00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:44.679
 jesus is

 constantly

00:08:45.319 --> 00:08:46.240

00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:46.699
 which they

00:08:46.699 --> 00:08:47.279
 identified

00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:48.120
 that's only

00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:48.639
 what god

00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:49.199

00:08:57.259 --> 00:08:57.620
 job

00:08:57.620 --> 00:08:58.019

 implications

00:09:44.900 --> 00:09:45.500
 of what

00:09:45.500 --> 00:09:46.000
 it is

 really

00:09:52.719 --> 00:09:53.379
 is

 god

 it mean

00:09:55.979 --> 00:09:56.459
 for us

00:09:56.459 --> 00:09:57.099
 practically

00:09:57.099 --> 00:09:58.539
 well first

00:09:58.539 --> 00:09:58.939
 of all

00:09:58.939 --> 00:10:00.379
 it means

00:10:00.379 --> 00:10:01.219
 an intellectual

00:10:01.219 --> 00:10:02.319
 turning point

00:10:02.319 --> 00:10:03.039
 for us

00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:03.819
 this is a

00:10:03.819 --> 00:10:04.120
 massive

00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:04.879
 intellectual

00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:05.539

00:10:06.259 --> 00:10:06.759
 place

00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.299
 some

00:10:09.299 --> 00:10:09.959
 have argued

00:10:09.959 --> 00:10:10.399
 that the

00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:10.879
 supreme

00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:11.379
 miracle

00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:12.759
 christianity

00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:13.719
 is not

00:10:20.719 --> 00:10:20.879
 the

00:10:22.439 --> 00:10:23.359
 what we

 at christmas

 that christianity

00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:30.199
 proclaims

00:10:30.199 --> 00:10:31.539
 this one

00:10:31.539 --> 00:10:32.120
 is the

 most

00:10:32.419 --> 00:10:33.099

00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:19.800
 job

00:16:19.800 --> 00:16:19.980
 is

00:16:19.980 --> 00:16:20.480
 purely

00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:20.659
 to

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:22.519
 ignoring

00:16:23.379 --> 00:16:23.659
 that's

00:16:23.659 --> 00:16:23.779
 what

00:16:23.779 --> 00:16:23.899
 he

00:16:23.899 --> 00:16:24.259

 evil

00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:40.340
 he

00:16:40.340 --> 00:16:40.539
 just

00:16:40.539 --> 00:16:41.180
 embraces

 us

 just

00:16:42.700 --> 00:16:43.159
 leaves

 us

00:16:43.379 --> 00:16:43.560
 to

00:16:43.560 --> 00:16:43.740
 get

00:16:43.740 --> 00:16:43.920
 on

00:16:43.920 --> 00:16:44.060

00:16:45.019 --> 00:16:45.439
 and

00:16:45.439 --> 00:16:45.620
 in

00:16:45.620 --> 00:16:45.779
 the

00:16:45.779 --> 00:16:45.980
 end

00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:46.139
 he

00:16:46.139 --> 00:16:46.279
 will

00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:46.500
 just

00:16:46.500 --> 00:16:46.819
 say

00:16:46.819 --> 00:16:47.679
 well

00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:47.899
 you

00:16:47.899 --> 00:16:48.159
 did

00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:48.319
 your

00:16:48.319 --> 00:16:48.779
 best

00:16:48.779 --> 00:16:52.000
 neither

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:52.259
 of

00:16:52.259 --> 00:16:52.519
 those

00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:52.919
 gods

00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:53.139
 would

00:16:53.139 --> 00:16:53.339
 have

00:16:53.339 --> 00:16:53.939
 bothered

00:16:53.939 --> 00:16:54.240
 with

00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:54.819
 Christmas

00:16:54.819 --> 00:16:58.059
 the

00:16:58.059 --> 00:16:58.419
 biblical

00:16:58.419 --> 00:16:58.799
 God

00:16:58.799 --> 00:16:59.139
 however

00:16:59.139 --> 00:16:59.519
 is

00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:00.159
 infinitely

00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:00.579
 good

00:17:00.579 --> 00:17:00.839
 and

00:17:00.839 --> 00:17:01.399
 perfect

00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:01.980
 and

00:17:01.980 --> 00:17:02.319
 so

00:17:02.319 --> 00:17:02.679
 our

00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:03.120
 sin

00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:03.500
 cannot

 be

00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:04.180
 shrugged

00:17:04.180 --> 00:17:04.500
 off

00:17:04.500 --> 00:17:05.119
 our

00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:05.639
 rejection

00:17:05.639 --> 00:17:05.920
 of

00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:06.099
 him

00:17:06.099 --> 00:17:06.639
 cannot

00:17:06.639 --> 00:17:07.079
 be

00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:07.579
 ignored

00:17:07.579 --> 00:17:08.420
 it

00:17:08.420 --> 00:17:08.859
 must

00:17:08.859 --> 00:17:09.079
 be

00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:09.319
 dealt

00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:09.700
 with

00:17:09.700 --> 00:17:10.980
 but

00:17:10.980 --> 00:17:11.159
 he's

00:17:11.159 --> 00:17:11.480
 also

00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:12.039
 infinitely

00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:12.460
 loving

00:17:12.460 --> 00:17:13.779
 he

00:17:13.779 --> 00:17:14.480
 knows

00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:15.360
 we

00:17:15.360 --> 00:17:15.640
 can

00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:15.880
 never

00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:16.240
 climb

00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:16.420
 up

00:17:16.420 --> 00:17:16.539
 to

00:17:16.539 --> 00:17:16.680
 him

00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:16.860
 he

00:17:16.860 --> 00:17:17.480
 knows

00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:17.700
 that

00:17:17.700 --> 00:17:17.940
 our

00:17:17.940 --> 00:17:18.279
 socks

00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:18.480
 can

00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:18.660
 never

00:17:18.660 --> 00:17:18.860
 be

00:17:18.860 --> 00:17:19.079
 pulled

00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:19.299
 up

00:17:19.299 --> 00:17:19.599
 far

00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:20.000
 enough

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:22.640
 and

00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:22.799
 so

00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:22.940
 he

00:17:22.940 --> 00:17:23.180
 comes

00:17:23.180 --> 00:17:23.339
 to

00:17:23.339 --> 00:17:23.720
 us

00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:25.079
 he

00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:25.220
 has

00:17:25.220 --> 00:17:25.599
 come

00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:26.480
 God

00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:26.980
 himself

00:17:26.980 --> 00:17:27.460
 has

00:17:27.460 --> 00:17:27.819
 come

00:17:27.819 --> 00:17:28.099
 to

00:17:28.099 --> 00:17:28.599
 us

00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:29.779
 to

00:17:29.779 --> 00:17:30.200
 do

00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:31.279
 what

00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:31.539
 we

00:17:31.539 --> 00:17:31.860
 couldn't

00:17:31.860 --> 00:17:32.200
 do

00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:33.640
 and

00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:33.799
 that

00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:34.039
 means

00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:34.380
 Christmas

00:17:34.380 --> 00:17:34.620
 is

00:17:34.620 --> 00:17:34.920
 hope

00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:35.660
 it's

00:17:35.660 --> 00:17:35.839
 a

00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:36.259
 light

00:17:36.259 --> 00:17:37.240
 shining

00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:38.319
 in

 darkness

00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:39.379
 man

00:17:39.379 --> 00:17:42.799
 he

00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:44.119
 is

00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:45.740
 human

00:17:45.740 --> 00:17:46.920
 the

 Joseph

00:17:48.220 --> 00:17:48.599
 and

 the

00:17:48.740 --> 00:17:49.200
 angel

00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:50.079
 reveals

00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:50.319
 that

00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:50.619
 Jesus

00:17:50.619 --> 00:17:50.879
 is

00:17:50.879 --> 00:17:51.299
 God

00:17:51.299 --> 00:17:51.579
 but

00:17:51.579 --> 00:17:51.920
 also

 us

00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:54.000
 he

00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:54.259
 is

00:17:54.259 --> 00:17:55.099
 human

00:17:55.099 --> 00:17:55.819
 Christmas

00:17:55.819 --> 00:17:56.299
 tells

00:17:56.299 --> 00:17:56.940
 us

00:17:56.940 --> 00:17:58.400
 that

00:17:58.400 --> 00:17:58.779
 Jesus

00:17:58.779 --> 00:17:59.200
 was

00:17:59.200 --> 00:17:59.920
 truly

00:17:59.920 --> 00:18:00.440
 and

00:20:20.420 --> 00:20:21.160
 there

00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:21.580
 seems

00:20:21.580 --> 00:20:21.940
 to be

00:20:21.940 --> 00:20:22.080
 a

00:20:22.080 --> 00:20:22.380
 need

00:20:22.380 --> 00:20:27.640
 what a

00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:28.060
 rebuke

00:20:28.060 --> 00:20:28.300
 at a

00:20:28.300 --> 00:20:28.700
 time

00:20:28.700 --> 00:20:30.280
 where

00:20:30.280 --> 00:20:30.580
 we

00:20:30.580 --> 00:20:30.880
 take

00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:31.240
 Christmas

00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:31.880
 as a

00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:32.140
 moment

00:20:32.140 --> 00:20:32.320
 of

00:20:32.320 --> 00:20:32.600
 self

00:20:32.600 --> 00:20:33.240
 indulgence

00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:36.960
 the

00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:37.220
 fact

00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:37.380
 that

00:20:37.380 --> 00:20:37.580
 God

00:20:37.580 --> 00:20:37.980
 became

00:20:37.980 --> 00:20:38.500
 human

00:20:38.500 --> 00:20:39.000
 and

00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:39.400
 emptied

00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:39.840
 himself

00:20:39.840 --> 00:20:40.180
 of

00:20:40.180 --> 00:20:40.380
 his

00:20:40.380 --> 00:20:40.800
 glory

00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:41.919
 means

00:20:41.919 --> 00:20:42.099
 that

00:20:42.099 --> 00:20:42.279
 you

00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:42.539
 should

00:20:42.539 --> 00:20:42.819
 not

00:20:42.819 --> 00:20:43.139
 want

00:20:43.139 --> 00:20:43.339
 to

00:20:43.339 --> 00:20:43.559
 hang

00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:43.759
 out

00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:44.099
 only

00:20:44.099 --> 00:20:44.319
 with

00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:44.720
 people

00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:44.980
 who

00:20:44.980 --> 00:20:45.119
 are

00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:45.419
 people

00:20:45.419 --> 00:20:45.579
 of

00:20:45.579 --> 00:20:45.919
 power

00:20:45.919 --> 00:20:46.200
 and

00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:46.659
 glitz

00:20:46.659 --> 00:20:48.500
 who

00:20:48.500 --> 00:20:48.639
 are

00:20:48.639 --> 00:20:49.419
 networked

00:20:49.419 --> 00:20:50.500
 who

00:20:50.500 --> 00:20:50.659
 can

00:20:50.659 --> 00:20:50.919
 open

00:20:50.919 --> 00:20:51.319
 doors

00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:51.559

00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:53.899

00:20:53.899 --> 00:20:54.039

00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:54.259
 to be

00:20:54.259 --> 00:20:54.500
 willing

00:20:54.500 --> 00:20:54.940
 to go

00:20:54.940 --> 00:20:55.279
 to the

00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:55.539
 people

00:20:55.539 --> 00:20:55.819
 without

00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:56.759
 without

00:20:58.519 --> 00:20:58.980
 networks

00:20:58.980 --> 00:21:00.259
 that's

00:21:00.259 --> 00:21:00.379
 the

00:21:00.379 --> 00:21:00.659
 Christmas

00:21:00.659 --> 00:21:01.099
 spirit

00:21:01.099 --> 00:21:02.159

00:21:02.159 --> 00:21:02.500
 God

00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:03.059
 became

00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:06.659
 God

00:21:06.659 --> 00:21:07.059

 one

00:21:07.299 --> 00:21:07.419
 of

00:21:07.419 --> 00:21:07.599
 us

00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:28.139

00:22:29.099 --> 00:22:29.619
 ultimately

00:22:29.619 --> 00:22:30.079
 means

00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:30.259
 that

00:22:30.259 --> 00:22:30.460
 God

00:22:30.460 --> 00:22:30.899

00:22:32.659 --> 00:22:33.079
 Jesus

00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:34.220
 triumphed

00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:34.659
 through

00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:38.700
 we

00:24:38.700 --> 00:24:39.059
 would

00:24:39.059 --> 00:24:39.619
 walk

00:24:39.619 --> 00:24:39.799
 with

00:24:39.799 --> 00:24:39.899
 him

00:24:39.899 --> 00:24:40.440
 commune

00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:40.639
 with

00:24:40.639 --> 00:24:40.899
 him

00:24:40.899 --> 00:24:42.119
 in

00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:42.559
 Jesus

00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:42.940
 the

00:24:42.940 --> 00:24:43.859
 unapproachable

00:24:43.859 --> 00:24:44.440
 God

00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:45.339
 becomes a

00:24:45.339 --> 00:24:45.659
 human

00:24:45.659 --> 00:24:46.279
 being

00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:47.399
 who can

00:24:47.399 --> 00:24:48.000
 be known

00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:48.819
 and loved

00:24:48.819 --> 00:24:50.019
 related to

00:24:50.019 --> 00:24:50.980
 spoken to

00:24:50.980 --> 00:24:52.240
 with

00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:53.460
 and through

00:24:53.460 --> 00:24:54.299
 faith we can

00:24:54.299 --> 00:24:54.859
 know that

00:24:54.859 --> 00:24:55.559
 love right

00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:56.379
 now every

00:24:56.379 --> 00:24:57.059
 single day

00:24:57.059 --> 00:24:58.339
 this does

00:24:58.339 --> 00:24:58.759
 not

00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:00.139
 let me just

00:25:00.139 --> 00:25:00.720
 pause between

00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:00.899
 that

00:25:00.899 --> 00:25:02.059
 that should

00:25:02.059 --> 00:25:02.940
 stun us

00:25:02.940 --> 00:25:05.440
 it should

00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:06.039
 stun

00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:06.320
 our

00:25:06.320 --> 00:25:06.880
 existence

00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:07.340
 you should

00:25:07.340 --> 00:25:07.519
 have

00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:08.000
 something

00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:08.580
 in your

00:25:08.580 --> 00:25:09.279
 gut

00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:09.759
 that gets

00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:10.720
 churned

00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:11.140
 when I

00:25:11.140 --> 00:25:11.519
 say that

00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:12.160
 the infinite

00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:12.740
 God of

00:25:12.740 --> 00:25:13.480
 the universe

00:25:13.480 --> 00:25:14.600
 is with

00:25:14.600 --> 00:25:15.279
 us

00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:19.940
 in the

00:25:19.940 --> 00:25:20.160
 Old

00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:20.680
 Testament

00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:22.680
 anytime

00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:23.799
 anyone

00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:24.559
 drew near

00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:25.279
 to God

00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:26.240
 it was

00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:27.299
 completely

00:25:27.299 --> 00:25:28.180
 terrifying

00:25:28.180 --> 00:25:30.880
 God

00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:31.519
 appears to

00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:32.060
 Abraham

00:25:32.060 --> 00:25:33.740
 as a

00:25:33.740 --> 00:25:34.460
 smoking

00:25:34.460 --> 00:25:35.480
 furnace

00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:37.400
 to

00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:37.980
 Israel

00:25:37.980 --> 00:25:38.400
 as a

00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:38.660
 pillar

00:25:38.660 --> 00:25:38.960
 of

00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:39.360
 fire

00:25:39.360 --> 00:25:39.900
 to

00:25:39.900 --> 00:25:40.519
 Job

00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:40.980
 as a

00:25:40.980 --> 00:25:41.600
 hurricane

00:25:41.600 --> 00:25:41.980
 and a

00:25:41.980 --> 00:25:42.500
 tornado

00:25:42.500 --> 00:25:44.960
 and when

00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:45.560
 Moses

00:25:45.560 --> 00:25:46.420
 asked to

00:25:46.420 --> 00:25:47.080
 see God

00:25:47.080 --> 00:25:47.700
 face to

00:25:47.700 --> 00:25:48.259
 face

00:25:48.259 --> 00:25:49.779
 he was

00:25:49.779 --> 00:25:50.200
 told

00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:51.700
 it would

00:25:51.700 --> 00:25:52.360
 kill you

00:25:52.360 --> 00:25:55.660
 so great

00:25:55.660 --> 00:25:56.320
 so high

00:25:56.320 --> 00:25:56.680
 and so

00:25:56.680 --> 00:25:57.480
 unapproachable

00:25:57.480 --> 00:25:57.819
 of this

00:25:57.819 --> 00:25:58.079
 God

00:25:58.079 --> 00:25:58.299
 and yet

00:25:58.299 --> 00:25:58.480
 the

00:25:58.480 --> 00:25:58.759
 message

00:25:58.759 --> 00:25:58.940
 of

00:25:58.940 --> 00:25:59.220
 Christmas

00:25:59.220 --> 00:25:59.720
 means

00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:00.200
 that

00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:00.620
 through

00:26:00.620 --> 00:26:01.180
 Jesus

00:26:01.180 --> 00:26:01.819
 Christ

00:26:01.819 --> 00:26:02.039
 you

00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:02.259
 come

00:26:02.259 --> 00:26:02.839
 face

00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:03.039
 to

00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:03.539

00:26:03.539 --> 00:26:03.759
 with

00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:04.440
 God

00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:08.420
 you

00:26:08.420 --> 00:26:08.579
 can

00:26:08.579 --> 00:26:08.839
 know

00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:09.079
 him

00:26:09.079 --> 00:26:09.660
 personally

00:26:09.660 --> 00:26:11.599
 without

00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:12.259
 terror

00:26:12.259 --> 00:26:15.400
 when

00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:15.620
 this

00:26:15.620 --> 00:26:15.880
 God

00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:16.200
 showed

00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:16.420
 up

00:26:16.420 --> 00:26:16.539
 in

00:26:16.539 --> 00:26:16.660
 the

00:26:16.660 --> 00:26:16.980
 person

00:26:16.980 --> 00:26:17.180
 of

00:26:17.180 --> 00:26:17.519
 Jesus

00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:18.440
 he

00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:18.620
 was

00:26:18.620 --> 00:26:18.819
 not

 pillar

00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:19.420

00:26:19.420 --> 00:26:19.839
 fire

00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:20.039
 he

00:26:20.039 --> 00:26:20.259
 wasn't

00:26:20.259 --> 00:26:20.460
 a

00:26:20.460 --> 00:26:21.059
 tornado

00:26:21.059 --> 00:26:23.579
 he

00:26:23.579 --> 00:26:23.700
 was

00:26:23.700 --> 00:26:23.819
 a

00:26:23.819 --> 00:26:24.220
 baby

00:26:24.220 --> 00:26:26.200
 a

00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:26.539
 baby

00:26:26.539 --> 00:26:30.359
 why

00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:30.680
 would

00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:30.960
 God

00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:31.559
 come

00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:32.299
 this

00:26:32.299 --> 00:26:32.879
 time

00:26:32.879 --> 00:26:33.119
 in

00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:33.279
 the

00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:33.539
 form

00:26:33.539 --> 00:26:33.680
 of

00:26:34.159 --> 00:26:35.240
 rather

00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:35.399
 than

00:26:35.399 --> 00:26:35.579
 as

00:26:35.579 --> 00:26:35.759
 a

00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:36.279
 fire

00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:36.759
 storm

00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:36.940
 or

00:26:36.940 --> 00:26:37.139
 a

00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:40.799
 this

00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:41.220
 time

00:26:41.220 --> 00:26:41.480
 he

00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:41.659
 has

00:26:41.659 --> 00:26:41.980
 come

00:26:41.980 --> 00:26:42.180
 not

 to

00:26:42.339 --> 00:26:42.519
 bring

00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:42.899
 judgment

00:26:42.899 --> 00:26:43.139
 but

00:26:43.139 --> 00:26:43.319
 to

00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:43.559
 bear

00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:43.819
 it

00:26:43.819 --> 00:26:45.799
 to

00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:46.119
 pay

00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:46.359
 the

00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:46.720
 penalty

00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:47.019
 for

00:26:47.019 --> 00:26:47.299
 our

00:26:47.299 --> 00:26:47.680
 sin

00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:48.000
 of

00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:48.440
 rejecting

00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:48.899
 God

00:26:48.899 --> 00:26:49.759
 to

00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:50.000
 take

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:50.200
 away

00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:50.379
 the

00:26:50.379 --> 00:26:50.799
 barrier

00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:51.279
 between

00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:51.879
 humanity

00:26:51.879 --> 00:26:52.440
 and

00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:52.879
 God

00:26:52.879 --> 00:26:53.980
 so

00:26:53.980 --> 00:26:54.180
 that

00:26:54.180 --> 00:26:54.519
 we

00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:55.200
 can

00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:55.519
 be

00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:56.279
 together

00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:57.279
 the

00:26:57.279 --> 00:26:57.759
 purpose

00:26:57.759 --> 00:26:58.599
 of

00:26:58.599 --> 00:26:59.000
 his

00:26:59.000 --> 00:26:59.700
 creation

00:26:59.700 --> 00:27:02.619
 Jesus

00:27:02.619 --> 00:27:03.319
 is

00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:03.759
 with

00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:04.200
 us

00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:07.039
 every

00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:07.539
 Christmas

00:27:07.539 --> 00:27:08.799
 millions

00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:09.200
 upon

00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:09.879
 millions

00:27:09.879 --> 00:27:10.099
 of

00:27:10.099 --> 00:27:10.399
 people

00:27:10.399 --> 00:27:10.920
 sing

00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:11.920
 if

00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:12.019
 they

00:27:12.019 --> 00:27:12.200
 don't

00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:12.460
 sing

00:27:12.460 --> 00:27:12.559
 it

00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:12.720
 they

00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:13.059
 certainly

00:27:13.059 --> 00:27:13.460
 hear

00:27:13.460 --> 00:27:13.779
 it

00:27:13.779 --> 00:27:14.319
 heard

00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:14.599
 it

00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:15.700
 yesterday

00:27:15.700 --> 00:27:17.039
 in

00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:17.180
 the

00:27:17.180 --> 00:27:17.440
 shopping

00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:17.920
 centres

00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:19.440
 Jesus

00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:20.000
 our

00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:20.619
 Emmanuel

00:27:20.619 --> 00:27:20.859
 world

00:27:20.859 --> 00:27:26.119
 and

00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:26.439
 yet

00:27:26.439 --> 00:27:26.939
 I'm

00:27:26.939 --> 00:27:27.319
 thinking

00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:27.859
 as

00:27:27.859 --> 00:27:28.000
 I

00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:28.219
 walk

00:27:28.219 --> 00:27:28.399
 through

00:27:28.399 --> 00:27:28.579
 the

00:27:28.579 --> 00:27:28.939
 shops

00:27:28.939 --> 00:27:31.779
 are

00:27:31.779 --> 00:27:31.979
 you

00:27:31.979 --> 00:27:32.239
 really

00:27:32.239 --> 00:27:32.519
 with

00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:32.719
 him

00:27:32.719 --> 00:27:34.619
 are

00:27:34.619 --> 00:27:34.819
 you

00:27:34.819 --> 00:27:35.139
 really

00:27:35.139 --> 00:27:35.500
 with

00:27:35.500 --> 00:27:35.799
 him

00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:36.459
 do

00:27:36.459 --> 00:27:36.819
 you

00:27:36.819 --> 00:27:37.199
 know

00:27:37.199 --> 00:27:37.679
 him

00:27:37.679 --> 00:27:41.439
 Jesus

00:27:41.439 --> 00:27:41.959
 literally

00:27:41.959 --> 00:27:42.479
 moved

00:27:42.479 --> 00:27:42.699
 heaven

00:27:42.699 --> 00:27:42.899
 and

00:27:42.899 --> 00:27:43.259
 earth

00:27:43.259 --> 00:27:44.099
 to

00:27:44.099 --> 00:27:44.279
 get

00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:44.559
 near

00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:45.000
 us

00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:47.500
 what

00:27:47.500 --> 00:27:47.739
 should

00:27:47.739 --> 00:27:47.919
 we

00:27:47.919 --> 00:27:48.099
 be

00:27:48.099 --> 00:27:48.379
 doing

00:27:48.379 --> 00:27:48.739
 now

00:27:48.739 --> 00:27:49.000
 to

00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:49.279
 truly

00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:49.479
 be

00:27:49.479 --> 00:27:49.699
 with

00:27:49.700 --> 00:27:49.940
 him

00:27:49.940 --> 00:27:53.740
 there's

00:27:53.740 --> 00:27:54.080
 one

00:27:54.080 --> 00:27:54.900
 crucial

00:27:54.900 --> 00:27:55.340
 trait

00:27:55.340 --> 00:27:55.660
 that's

00:27:55.660 --> 00:27:56.319
 necessary

00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:56.759
 for

00:27:56.759 --> 00:27:57.240
 having

00:27:57.240 --> 00:27:57.920
 such

00:27:57.920 --> 00:27:58.360
 a

00:27:58.360 --> 00:27:59.400
 relationship

00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:01.100
 with

00:28:01.100 --> 00:28:01.720
 Jesus

00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:02.539
 and

00:28:02.539 --> 00:28:02.880
 it is

00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:03.440
 more

00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:04.200
 and I

00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:04.440
 think

00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:04.759
 that it's

00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:05.200
 one

00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:05.900
 step

00:28:05.900 --> 00:28:06.200
 it's

00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:06.559
 one of

00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:06.720
 these

00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:07.120
 traits

00:28:07.120 --> 00:28:07.319
 I

00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:07.680
 think

00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:08.519
 that

00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:09.080
 Christians

00:28:09.080 --> 00:28:10.039
 in

00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:10.559
 Western

00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:11.140
 society

00:28:11.140 --> 00:28:12.000
 especially

00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:13.059
 are

00:28:13.059 --> 00:28:13.519
 most

00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:14.019
 likely

00:28:14.019 --> 00:28:14.360
 to

00:28:14.360 --> 00:28:15.019
 overlook

00:28:15.019 --> 00:28:17.620
 an

00:28:17.620 --> 00:28:18.140
 intimate

00:28:18.140 --> 00:28:19.000
 relationship

00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:19.359
 with

00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:19.980
 Jesus

00:28:19.980 --> 00:28:21.480
 always

00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:22.720
 requires

00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:23.420
 courage

00:28:23.420 --> 00:28:25.380
 always

00:28:25.380 --> 00:28:26.160
 requires

00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:26.740
 courage

00:28:26.740 --> 00:28:30.339
 and

00:28:30.339 --> 00:28:30.619
 that's

00:28:30.619 --> 00:28:31.059
 hard for

00:28:31.059 --> 00:28:31.220
 us

00:28:31.220 --> 00:28:31.619
 particularly

00:28:31.619 --> 00:28:32.000
 in the

00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:32.380
 West

00:28:32.380 --> 00:28:33.539
 because

00:28:33.539 --> 00:28:34.140
 mostly

00:28:34.140 --> 00:28:34.559
 we are

00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:35.000
 fearful

00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:37.039
 we're not

00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:37.440
 courageous

00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:38.779
 we're

00:28:38.779 --> 00:28:39.299
 scared

00:28:39.299 --> 00:28:43.240
 we're

00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:43.759
 cautious

00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:45.279
 rather than

00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:45.680
 courageous

00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:49.039
 and it's

00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:49.539
 wonderful to

00:28:49.539 --> 00:28:49.860
 look out

00:28:49.860 --> 00:28:50.299
 and see a

00:28:50.299 --> 00:28:50.759
 room full

00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:51.039
 of people

00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:51.400
 with face

00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:51.900
 masks on

00:28:51.900 --> 00:28:52.320
 because it

00:28:52.320 --> 00:28:52.880
 just proves

00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:53.259
 the point

00:28:53.259 --> 00:28:57.500
 we can't

00:28:57.500 --> 00:28:58.039
 know Jesus

00:28:58.039 --> 00:28:58.779
 personally

00:28:58.779 --> 00:28:59.660
 that's not a

00:28:59.660 --> 00:29:00.039
 criticism

00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:00.640
 I had mine

00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:01.060
 on a moment

00:29:01.060 --> 00:29:01.380
 ago

00:29:01.380 --> 00:29:03.840
 we can't

00:29:03.840 --> 00:29:04.400
 know Jesus

00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:05.180
 personally

00:29:05.180 --> 00:29:06.720
 unless we

00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:07.680
 have the

00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:08.180
 courage

00:29:08.180 --> 00:29:09.320
 to admit

00:29:09.320 --> 00:29:09.960
 that we

00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:10.680
 are in

00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:11.000
 fact

00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:12.160
 a sinner

00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:13.300
 we are

00:29:13.300 --> 00:29:13.740
 flawed

00:29:13.740 --> 00:29:14.220
 we are

00:29:14.220 --> 00:29:14.680
 failed

00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:15.240
 we are

00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:15.640
 deserving

00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:16.180
 of God's

00:29:16.180 --> 00:29:16.560
 judgment

00:29:16.560 --> 00:29:18.279
 admit that

00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:19.180
 we choose

00:29:19.180 --> 00:29:20.580
 day by day

00:29:20.580 --> 00:29:21.220
 to reject

00:29:21.220 --> 00:29:21.840
 our creator

00:29:21.840 --> 00:29:22.560
 and to

00:29:22.560 --> 00:29:23.300
 live life

00:29:23.300 --> 00:29:24.700
 our way

00:29:24.700 --> 00:29:27.059
 Jesus

00:29:27.059 --> 00:29:28.080
 entire

00:29:28.080 --> 00:29:28.980
 mission

00:29:28.980 --> 00:29:30.400
 is summed

00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:30.900
 up in

00:29:30.900 --> 00:29:31.759
 verse 21

00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:33.480
 he will

00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:34.380
 save his

00:29:34.380 --> 00:29:35.279
 people from

00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:36.299
 their sins

00:29:36.299 --> 00:29:38.039
 so first

00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:38.799
 and foremost

00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:40.200
 Jesus came

00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:40.620
 into this

00:29:40.620 --> 00:29:41.140
 world

00:29:41.140 --> 00:29:42.160
 to forgive

00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:42.580
 us

00:29:42.580 --> 00:29:43.880
 every other

00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:44.500
 blessing that

00:29:44.500 --> 00:29:44.860
 we have

00:29:44.860 --> 00:29:45.420
 from him

00:29:45.420 --> 00:29:47.220
 flows from

00:29:47.220 --> 00:29:47.960
 that forgiveness

00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:48.600
 of sin

00:29:48.600 --> 00:29:50.680
 and so

00:29:50.680 --> 00:29:51.259
 are you

00:29:51.259 --> 00:29:51.819
 willing to

00:29:51.819 --> 00:29:52.240
 say

00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:53.539
 this Christmas

00:29:53.539 --> 00:29:56.119
 and can I

00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:56.559
 say this

00:29:56.559 --> 00:29:57.059
 especially

00:29:57.059 --> 00:29:57.940
 for those

00:29:57.940 --> 00:29:59.440
 of you

00:29:59.440 --> 00:29:59.839
 who

00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:02.279
 have

00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:02.659
 gathered

00:30:02.659 --> 00:30:03.259
 many many

00:30:03.259 --> 00:30:03.879
 times at

00:30:03.879 --> 00:30:04.180
 Christmas

00:30:04.180 --> 00:30:04.779
 times

00:30:04.779 --> 00:30:05.519
 maybe

00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:05.759
 even

00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:06.200
 time

00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:07.139
 and you've

00:30:07.139 --> 00:30:07.559
 heard this

00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:08.279
 again and

00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:08.879
 again and

00:30:08.879 --> 00:30:09.440
 again and

00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:09.980
 you sing

00:30:09.980 --> 00:30:10.519
 Emmanuel

00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:11.200
 God with

00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:11.619
 us

00:30:11.619 --> 00:30:13.859
 are you

00:30:13.859 --> 00:30:14.359
 willing to

00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:14.799
 say

00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:15.519
 to have

00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:16.059
 the courage

00:30:16.059 --> 00:30:16.680
 maybe for

00:30:16.680 --> 00:30:17.059
 the first

00:30:17.059 --> 00:30:18.139
 time ever

00:30:18.139 --> 00:30:19.139
 this Christmas

00:30:19.139 --> 00:30:20.399
 I am a

00:30:20.399 --> 00:30:21.139
 moral failure

00:30:21.140 --> 00:30:23.840
 look at

00:30:23.840 --> 00:30:24.740
 the carnage

00:30:24.740 --> 00:30:25.380
 around my

00:30:25.380 --> 00:30:25.920
 life

00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:26.860
 look at

00:30:26.860 --> 00:30:27.200
 the broken

00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:27.880
 relationships

00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:28.640
 everywhere

00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:29.160
 I'm a

00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:30.320
 moral failure

00:30:30.320 --> 00:30:32.180
 I don't

00:30:32.180 --> 00:30:32.780
 love God

00:30:32.780 --> 00:30:33.180
 with all of

00:30:33.180 --> 00:30:33.740
 my heart

00:30:33.740 --> 00:30:34.340
 with all of

00:30:34.340 --> 00:30:35.060
 my soul

00:30:35.060 --> 00:30:35.440
 with all of

00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:36.200
 my strength

00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:36.480
 with all of

00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:36.920
 my mind

00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:37.160
 I don't

00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:37.480
 love my

00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:37.960
 neighbour

00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:39.100
 as myself

00:30:39.100 --> 00:30:40.680
 and therefore

00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:41.280
 I'm guilty

00:30:41.280 --> 00:30:43.020
 I need

00:30:43.020 --> 00:30:43.420
 forgiveness

00:30:43.420 --> 00:30:46.340
 and I need

00:30:46.340 --> 00:30:47.040
 pardon from

00:30:47.040 --> 00:30:47.720
 God before

00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:48.180
 I need

00:30:48.180 --> 00:30:49.000
 anything else

00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:49.620
 this Christmas

00:30:49.619 --> 00:30:50.939
 that's the

00:30:50.939 --> 00:30:51.339
 gift I

00:30:51.339 --> 00:30:51.579
 need

00:30:51.579 --> 00:30:54.099
 it takes

00:30:54.099 --> 00:30:54.779
 enormous

00:30:54.779 --> 00:30:55.359
 courage

00:30:55.359 --> 00:30:56.679
 to admit

00:30:56.679 --> 00:30:57.679
 these things

00:30:57.679 --> 00:30:59.239
 and in fact

00:30:59.239 --> 00:30:59.939
 I would say

00:30:59.939 --> 00:31:01.500
 for you

00:31:01.500 --> 00:31:02.000
 who are

00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:02.419
 Christian

00:31:02.419 --> 00:31:02.919
 gathering

00:31:02.919 --> 00:31:04.019
 the whole

00:31:04.019 --> 00:31:05.239
 Christian

00:31:05.239 --> 00:31:05.779
 journey

00:31:05.779 --> 00:31:06.719
 is a life

00:31:06.719 --> 00:31:07.739
 of realising

00:31:07.739 --> 00:31:09.000
 how much

00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:09.679
 of a failure

00:31:09.679 --> 00:31:10.399
 you are

00:31:10.399 --> 00:31:16.579
 it means

00:31:16.579 --> 00:31:18.019
 it's courage

00:31:18.019 --> 00:31:18.359
 because it

00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:18.959
 means throwing

00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:19.620
 your old

00:31:19.620 --> 00:31:20.319
 self image

00:31:20.319 --> 00:31:20.600
 that you

00:31:20.600 --> 00:31:21.140
 built up

00:31:21.140 --> 00:31:21.600
 over all

00:31:21.600 --> 00:31:21.920
 of these

00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:22.240
 years

00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:22.759
 out

00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:23.519
 and getting

00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:23.960
 a brand

00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:24.640
 new one

00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:25.200
 from Jesus

00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:25.779
 Christ

00:31:25.779 --> 00:31:26.660
 and yet

00:31:26.660 --> 00:31:27.740
 that is

00:31:27.740 --> 00:31:28.600
 the foundation

00:31:28.600 --> 00:31:29.380
 for all

00:31:29.380 --> 00:31:30.039
 other things

00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:30.579
 that Jesus

00:31:30.579 --> 00:31:31.279
 wants to

00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:31.620
 bring to

00:31:31.620 --> 00:31:32.279
 your life

00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:33.220
 all the

00:31:33.220 --> 00:31:33.640
 comfort

00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:34.059
 all the

00:31:34.059 --> 00:31:34.480
 hope

00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:35.240
 all the

00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:36.039
 joyful

00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:36.779
 humility

00:31:36.779 --> 00:31:37.600
 and everything

00:31:37.600 --> 00:31:38.140
 else

00:31:38.140 --> 00:31:42.200
 so how do

00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:42.440
 you get

00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:42.960
 the strength

00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:43.240
 to be

00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:43.640
 courageous

00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:44.279
 like that

00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:45.539
 there's only

00:31:45.539 --> 00:31:46.120
 one way

00:31:46.119 --> 00:31:47.139
 and that's

00:31:47.139 --> 00:31:47.539
 by looking

00:31:47.539 --> 00:31:48.019
 to Jesus

00:31:48.019 --> 00:31:48.539
 at Christmas

00:31:48.539 --> 00:31:48.919
 time

00:31:48.919 --> 00:31:50.599
 looking to

00:31:50.599 --> 00:31:50.859
 him

00:31:50.859 --> 00:31:53.199
 because if

00:31:53.199 --> 00:31:53.659
 you think

00:31:53.659 --> 00:31:54.039
 it takes

00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:54.619
 courage to

00:31:54.619 --> 00:31:55.179
 be with

00:31:55.179 --> 00:31:55.639
 Jesus

00:31:55.639 --> 00:31:56.519
 consider

00:31:56.519 --> 00:31:57.139
 the

00:31:57.139 --> 00:31:57.859
 infinite

00:31:57.859 --> 00:31:59.139
 infinite

00:31:59.139 --> 00:32:00.199
 courage

00:32:00.199 --> 00:32:00.639
 it took

00:32:00.639 --> 00:32:00.959
 him

00:32:00.959 --> 00:32:01.739
 in order

00:32:01.739 --> 00:32:02.059
 to be

00:32:02.059 --> 00:32:02.599
 with us

00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:04.619
 only

00:32:04.619 --> 00:32:05.239
 Christianity

00:32:05.239 --> 00:32:05.879
 says

00:32:05.879 --> 00:32:06.739
 one of the

00:32:06.739 --> 00:32:07.339
 attributes

00:32:07.339 --> 00:32:08.219
 of God

00:32:08.219 --> 00:32:09.559
 is courage

00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:10.679
 Christianity

00:32:10.679 --> 00:32:11.019
 is the

00:32:11.019 --> 00:32:12.059
 only faith

00:32:12.059 --> 00:32:12.460
 in the

00:32:12.460 --> 00:32:12.759
 whole

00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:13.259
 world

00:32:13.259 --> 00:32:14.319
 that says

00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:14.759
 one of the

00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:15.299
 attributes

00:32:15.299 --> 00:32:15.960
 of God

00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:16.919
 is courage

00:32:16.919 --> 00:32:19.619
 no other

00:32:19.619 --> 00:32:20.139
 religion

00:32:20.139 --> 00:32:21.200
 who has

00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:22.480
 a God

00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:23.059
 a deity

00:32:23.059 --> 00:32:23.899
 that needs

00:32:23.899 --> 00:32:24.639
 courage

00:32:24.639 --> 00:32:30.159
 Jesus

00:32:30.159 --> 00:32:30.700
 could only

00:32:30.700 --> 00:32:31.259
 save us

00:32:31.259 --> 00:32:31.899
 by facing

00:32:31.899 --> 00:32:32.599
 an agonising

00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:33.079
 death

00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:34.480
 that has

00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:35.179
 him wrestling

00:32:35.179 --> 00:32:36.240
 with tears

00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:36.919
 of sweat

00:32:36.919 --> 00:32:37.500
 and blood

00:32:37.500 --> 00:32:38.480
 in the

00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:38.879
 garden of

00:32:38.879 --> 00:32:39.419
 Gethsemane

00:32:39.420 --> 00:32:41.120
 he became

00:32:41.120 --> 00:32:41.820
 mortal and

00:32:41.820 --> 00:32:42.220
 vulnerable

00:32:42.220 --> 00:32:44.000
 so that he

00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:44.620
 could suffer

00:32:44.620 --> 00:32:46.160
 be betrayed

00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:47.779
 be killed

00:32:47.779 --> 00:32:49.140
 he faced

00:32:49.140 --> 00:32:49.980
 all these

00:32:49.980 --> 00:32:50.539
 things

00:32:50.539 --> 00:32:51.640
 for you

00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:52.500
 and for me

00:32:52.500 --> 00:32:53.320
 and he

00:32:53.320 --> 00:32:53.800
 thought it

00:32:53.800 --> 00:32:54.259
 was worth

00:32:54.259 --> 00:32:54.620
 it

00:32:54.620 --> 00:32:58.500
 just look

00:32:58.500 --> 00:32:58.779
 at him

00:32:58.779 --> 00:32:59.480
 facing your

00:32:59.480 --> 00:32:59.960
 darkness

00:32:59.960 --> 00:33:01.560
 so that you

00:33:01.560 --> 00:33:01.940
 can have

00:33:01.940 --> 00:33:02.400
 light

00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:04.300
 and that

00:33:04.300 --> 00:33:05.060
 will enable

00:33:05.060 --> 00:33:05.640
 you to

00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:06.560
 face any

00:33:06.560 --> 00:33:07.440
 darkness

00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:08.880
 in life

00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:10.400
 and still

00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:10.800
 have the

00:33:10.800 --> 00:33:11.160
 light of

00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:11.440
 hope

00:33:11.440 --> 00:33:15.760
 you've

00:33:15.760 --> 00:33:16.160
 heard the

00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:16.700
 phrase

00:33:16.700 --> 00:33:19.300
 sung

00:33:19.300 --> 00:33:19.940
 every

00:33:19.940 --> 00:33:20.320
 Christmas

00:33:20.320 --> 00:33:20.940
 potentially

00:33:20.940 --> 00:33:21.500
 hark the

00:33:21.500 --> 00:33:22.420
 herald angels

00:33:22.420 --> 00:33:23.000
 sing

00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:25.000
 and then it

00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:25.460
 goes on to

00:33:25.460 --> 00:33:25.840
 say

00:33:25.840 --> 00:33:27.460
 mild

00:33:27.460 --> 00:33:28.900
 he lays

00:33:28.900 --> 00:33:29.800
 his glory

00:33:29.800 --> 00:33:30.880
 by

00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:32.960
 what on

00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:33.580
 earth does

00:33:33.580 --> 00:33:34.320
 that mean

00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:35.740
 mild

00:33:35.740 --> 00:33:36.519
 he lays

00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:37.179
 his glory

00:33:37.179 --> 00:33:37.639
 by

00:33:37.639 --> 00:33:40.559
 what it

00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:41.319
 means is

00:33:41.319 --> 00:33:43.200
 he did

00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:43.319
 it

00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:43.799
 voluntarily

00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:45.359
 he laid

00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:45.899
 his glory

00:33:45.899 --> 00:33:47.179
 voluntarily

00:33:47.179 --> 00:33:48.480
 lovingly

00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:48.839
 willingly

00:33:48.839 --> 00:33:49.859
 no one

00:33:49.859 --> 00:33:50.339
 forced him

00:33:50.339 --> 00:33:50.799
 to do it

00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:52.220
 it wasn't a

00:33:52.220 --> 00:33:52.839
 duty that he

00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:53.599
 had to do

00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:55.579
 he faced

00:33:55.579 --> 00:33:56.740
 unimaginable

00:33:56.740 --> 00:33:57.980
 pain and

00:33:57.980 --> 00:33:58.799
 death and

00:33:58.799 --> 00:33:59.419
 darkness

00:33:59.420 --> 00:33:59.620
 happiness

00:33:59.620 --> 00:34:00.700
 and he

00:34:00.700 --> 00:34:01.740
 chose to

00:34:01.740 --> 00:34:02.380
 do it

00:34:02.380 --> 00:34:03.680
 voluntary

00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:05.400
 out of

00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:05.960
 love for

00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:06.240
 you and

00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:06.580
 for me

00:34:06.580 --> 00:34:06.880
 and for

00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:07.300
 all of

00:34:07.300 --> 00:34:07.820
 humanity

00:34:07.820 --> 00:34:09.200
 why did

00:34:09.200 --> 00:34:09.619
 Jesus

00:34:09.619 --> 00:34:10.440
 have the

00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:10.960
 courage to

00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:11.260
 do what

00:34:11.260 --> 00:34:11.579
 he did

00:34:11.579 --> 00:34:12.380
 love

00:34:12.380 --> 00:34:13.539
 how do

00:34:13.539 --> 00:34:13.980
 we get

00:34:13.980 --> 00:34:14.539
 the courage

00:34:14.539 --> 00:34:14.920
 to admit

00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:15.240
 that we're

00:34:15.240 --> 00:34:15.680
 a sinner

00:34:15.680 --> 00:34:16.920
 and need

00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:17.680
 his forgiveness

00:34:17.680 --> 00:34:18.220
 and his

00:34:18.220 --> 00:34:18.700
 relationship

00:34:18.700 --> 00:34:19.159
 with him

00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:19.960
 the exact

00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:20.599
 same way

00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:23.079
 we see

00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:23.760
 him doing

00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:24.639
 everything that

00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:25.200
 he's done

00:34:25.200 --> 00:34:26.539
 for us

00:34:26.539 --> 00:34:28.159
 out of love

00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:28.860
 for us

00:34:28.860 --> 00:34:30.239
 and it will

00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:31.119
 draw out

00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:31.820
 our love

00:34:31.820 --> 00:34:32.500
 for him
