00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.980
 Matthew's Gospel, Chapter 1.

00:00:08.300 --> 00:00:11.339
 I hope you'll see a theme.

00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:13.780
 Thanks, Rob.

00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:17.179
 Do you remember we did Genesis?

00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:21.059
 Genesis was the first book of the Bible, of the Old Testament.

00:00:21.780 --> 00:00:23.440
 A theme of beginnings.

00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:27.519
 Well, Matthew is the beginning of the New Testament.

00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:32.500
 And it also has themes of beginnings as well.

00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:39.100
 And, yeah, maybe we'll go to the end of the Bible after we've done Matthew and we'll do Revelation.

00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:42.519
 And we'll connect it all together.

00:00:43.219 --> 00:00:47.299
 But I want to just point out to you a little booklet that we have.

00:00:47.980 --> 00:00:51.859
 You'll find it on the table as you go out the door on your way out.

00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:54.980
 Pick up a copy, one per family at least to start with.

00:00:54.979 --> 00:00:59.199
 This booklet is an overview of Matthew's Gospel.

00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:06.500
 I put it together to help me in my studies so I know where I'm going and what it's all about.

00:01:07.219 --> 00:01:10.439
 But it will help you too as well as we go through our studies.

00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.400
 It will give you the big story, the big picture of what it's all about.

00:01:16.039 --> 00:01:18.340
 Some of the big themes to look out for.

00:01:18.340 --> 00:01:23.140
 And if at any point as we go through Matthew you'll forget, how did we start?

00:01:23.340 --> 00:01:24.540
 Where does this bit fit in?

00:01:24.620 --> 00:01:25.640
 How does it all connect?

00:01:26.180 --> 00:01:30.280
 Well, you can just dip in and check the sections out and read the paragraphs.

00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:35.180
 And it'll help you remember where we are and what it's all about.

00:01:35.300 --> 00:01:38.780
 So please do pick up your copy of Matthew's Gospel.

00:01:38.780 --> 00:01:43.260
 It'll help you and it will be good for you.

00:01:44.340 --> 00:01:51.200
 Well, we're going to read Matthew chapter 1, verses 1 to 17 together.

 Jotham the father of Ahaz.

 And his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.

 After the exile to Babylon, Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel.

00:03:32.480 --> 00:03:34.320

 Thus there were 14 generations in all

00:04:12.620 --> 00:04:18.180
 from Abraham to David, 14 from David to the exile to Babylon

00:04:18.180 --> 00:04:22.939
 and 14 from the exile to the Messiah.

00:04:22.939 --> 00:04:28.000
 Well, interesting start.

00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:29.579
 Let's pray.

00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:38.060
 Father, we thank you for your word.

00:04:39.579 --> 00:04:44.639
 Words that have been written down, preserved and recorded for us.

00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.139
 And we thank you now for this gospel,

00:04:49.139 --> 00:04:54.779
 the good news about Jesus according to Matthew,

00:04:55.939 --> 00:04:58.979
 written down so that we can read today

00:04:58.979 --> 00:05:03.860
 and learn about Jesus the Messiah.

00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:10.139
 And we pray that this would not just be an information exercise,

00:05:10.139 --> 00:05:15.699
 but that as we learn about the person of Jesus,

00:05:16.659 --> 00:05:18.839
 as we discover who he is,

00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:21.099
 what he came to do,

00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.099
 what it is to follow him and walk with him,

00:05:25.699 --> 00:05:29.120
 that we would experience the person of Jesus

00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.419
 in our own life,

00:05:31.420 --> 00:05:33.600
 day to day,

00:05:34.960 --> 00:05:36.620
 throughout our work,

00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.080
 whether we're at school or wherever we are,

00:05:41.180 --> 00:05:43.300
 that we would know him personally

00:05:43.300 --> 00:05:45.080
 and intimately.

00:05:46.580 --> 00:05:49.139
 And that this would be a time of growing,

00:05:50.200 --> 00:05:51.879
 perhaps for the first time,

00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:54.020
 stepping out

00:05:54.020 --> 00:05:56.639
 in a relationship with Jesus.

00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.399
 So, Holy Spirit,

00:06:01.259 --> 00:06:02.379
 be our teacher.

00:06:03.539 --> 00:06:06.899
 Shine your light upon Christ

00:06:06.899 --> 00:06:10.800
 so that we see him in all his greatness.

00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.300
 And would you apply all that we learn to our life

00:06:16.300 --> 00:06:19.560
 so that we love you

00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:21.639
 and worship you.

00:06:22.479 --> 00:06:23.800
 In Jesus' name.

00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:25.159
 Amen.

00:06:25.159 --> 00:06:25.319
 Amen.

00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:27.079
 Amen.

00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.639
 So, how has your new year gone so far?

00:06:36.620 --> 00:06:38.259
 One week into it.

00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:40.199
 In many ways,

00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:42.919
 the new year gives us an opportunity

00:06:42.919 --> 00:06:44.639
 for that fresh start,

00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:46.259
 a new beginning.

00:06:47.060 --> 00:06:47.959
 The past,

00:06:48.939 --> 00:06:50.599
 all put behind us,

00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.159
 and with wonderful hopes

00:06:53.159 --> 00:06:54.519
 for the future.

00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:55.879
 And so,

00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:57.459
 with so renewed enthusiasm,

00:06:57.459 --> 00:06:58.879
 we step out

00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:00.639
 into our new year.

00:07:01.339 --> 00:07:02.719
 And we say to ourselves,

00:07:02.939 --> 00:07:03.279
 yes,

00:07:03.799 --> 00:07:05.599
 this is going to be different.

00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:08.139
 This is going to be a good year.

00:07:08.139 --> 00:07:11.139
 But the problem is,

00:07:11.139 --> 00:07:12.139
 sooner or later,

00:07:12.139 --> 00:07:14.279
 our past catches up with us

00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.560
 and our hopes for the future

00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.639
 come crashing down around us.

00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:22.819
 The memories we so desperately want to leave behind

00:07:22.819 --> 00:07:26.199
 have a habit of resurfing once again

00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:27.579
 as people fail us

00:07:27.579 --> 00:07:29.439
 and we fail ourselves.

00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:33.120
 And the hopes and dreams we have of the future

00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.199
 come to a shuddering end

00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:38.540
 as we receive unwanted news from the doctor

00:07:38.540 --> 00:07:40.800
 or from our employer.

00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:43.139
 The new beginning,

00:07:43.300 --> 00:07:44.160
 the fresh start,

00:07:44.259 --> 00:07:45.180
 eludes us

00:07:45.180 --> 00:07:46.699
 once again.

00:07:48.259 --> 00:07:49.460
 Or has it?

00:07:50.259 --> 00:07:52.579
 Because Matthew begins his gospel

00:07:52.579 --> 00:07:54.600
 with some good news.

00:07:55.379 --> 00:07:56.800
 Look at verse 1.

00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.540
 This is the genealogy of.

00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:04.000
 Now, to our minds,

00:08:04.100 --> 00:08:05.860
 that's not the best introduction

00:08:05.860 --> 00:08:07.720
 or the most inspiring opening

00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:08.440
 for a book.

00:08:09.320 --> 00:08:11.520
 If Matthew is trying to entice us

00:08:11.520 --> 00:08:12.960
 and excite us

00:08:12.960 --> 00:08:13.880
 to continue on

00:08:13.880 --> 00:08:15.220
 with his writing,

00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:16.620
 it seems to have

00:08:16.620 --> 00:08:17.640
 the opposite effect.

00:08:17.740 --> 00:08:20.140
 A list of unpronounceable names,

00:08:20.260 --> 00:08:22.000
 most of whom we've never heard of

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:23.820
 and we know nothing about.

00:08:25.760 --> 00:08:27.560
 Well, with a little patience

00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:29.640
 and careful attention,

00:08:30.440 --> 00:08:32.259
 we will discover that Matthew

00:08:32.259 --> 00:08:33.960
 is introducing us to someone

00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:35.960
 who can give us a new beginning

00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:37.800
 and a fresh start.

00:08:37.920 --> 00:08:40.420
 Something that we all long for.

00:08:40.660 --> 00:08:41.600
 Whether we say,

00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:43.139
 I'm a follower of Jesus

00:08:43.139 --> 00:08:45.180
 or I've been following him

00:08:45.180 --> 00:08:46.440
 for 40 years.

00:08:47.580 --> 00:08:49.080
 This fresh start

00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:51.940
 deals with all our past.

00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:54.540
 Gives us a new hope

00:08:54.540 --> 00:08:55.300
 for the future

00:08:55.300 --> 00:08:58.400
 and makes our life possible today.

00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:02.940
 So as we get into this big list of names,

00:09:03.500 --> 00:09:05.360
 we're going to look at three things.

00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:06.659
 A new creation,

00:09:07.860 --> 00:09:09.080
 a promised king,

00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:12.419
 and a great saviour.

00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:14.600
 Three things.

00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:15.659
 Here's the first one.

00:09:16.800 --> 00:09:18.159
 A new creation.

00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:21.639
 The introduction takes us on a journey

00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:23.539
 that brings us right

00:09:23.539 --> 00:09:24.659
 to the very start

00:09:24.659 --> 00:09:25.820
 of the Bible story.

00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:27.700
 Look at verse 1.

00:09:27.779 --> 00:09:30.100
 This is the genealogy of.

00:09:30.100 --> 00:09:32.120
 Now that little phrase,

00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:34.080
 the only place

00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:35.740
 that phrase appears

00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:38.480
 is at the beginning of Genesis.

00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:40.879
 You can follow on the screen.

00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:42.720
 This is what it says.

00:09:43.379 --> 00:09:45.560
 This is the account of,

00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:46.019
 literally,

00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:48.940
 this is the genealogy of

00:09:48.940 --> 00:09:51.519
 the heavens and the earth

00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:53.460
 when they were created,

00:09:53.620 --> 00:09:54.560
 when the Lord God

00:09:54.560 --> 00:09:55.500
 made the earth

00:09:55.500 --> 00:09:56.580
 and the heavens.

00:09:56.580 --> 00:09:59.040
 Matthew is intentionally

00:09:59.040 --> 00:10:00.200
 bringing us back

00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:01.620
 to the creation of the world.

00:10:02.160 --> 00:10:02.960
 John's gospel

00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:04.080
 does something similar,

00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:04.600
 doesn't it?

00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:05.560
 In the beginning

00:10:05.560 --> 00:10:06.960
 was the Word

00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:08.080
 and the Word was with God.

00:10:08.139 --> 00:10:08.879
 He's taking us

00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:09.920
 back to the beginning.

00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:11.020
 Matthew's doing

00:10:11.020 --> 00:10:12.080
 exactly the same.

00:10:12.580 --> 00:10:13.920
 He's bringing us back

00:10:13.920 --> 00:10:14.820
 to the creation

00:10:14.820 --> 00:10:16.320
 of the world.

00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:18.320
 Because we know

00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:19.220
 that in the beginning

00:10:19.220 --> 00:10:20.200
 the world was

00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:21.420
 formless

00:10:21.420 --> 00:10:22.379
 and empty.

00:10:22.379 --> 00:10:23.840
 There was darkness

00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:25.019
 and chaos

00:10:25.019 --> 00:10:27.179
 and then God spoke

00:10:27.179 --> 00:10:29.279
 bringing order,

00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:31.259
 design and beauty.

00:10:31.820 --> 00:10:33.439
 Something new

00:10:33.439 --> 00:10:34.580
 had begun.

00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:36.080
 And that's what

00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:37.019
 should trigger off

00:10:37.019 --> 00:10:37.740
 in our minds

00:10:37.740 --> 00:10:38.840
 as we start

00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:40.059
 into Matthew's gospel.

00:10:40.580 --> 00:10:42.439
 This is the genealogy

00:10:42.439 --> 00:10:44.360
 of here's a new beginning,

00:10:44.820 --> 00:10:46.320
 here's a fresh start,

00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:48.779
 a new creation.

00:10:48.779 --> 00:10:52.379
 Not such a boring

00:10:52.379 --> 00:10:53.579
 introduction anymore,

00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:54.139
 is it?

00:10:55.500 --> 00:10:56.360
 Because you see,

00:10:56.439 --> 00:10:57.699
 left to ourselves,

00:10:58.819 --> 00:11:00.539
 our life is very often

00:11:00.539 --> 00:11:01.539
 formless

00:11:01.539 --> 00:11:03.319
 and empty.

00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:05.159
 Without meaning,

00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:06.259
 without purpose.

00:11:07.139 --> 00:11:09.000
 So often we experience

00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:10.659
 darkness and chaos

00:11:10.659 --> 00:11:12.419
 as terrible things

00:11:12.419 --> 00:11:13.439
 happen to us.

00:11:14.019 --> 00:11:15.339
 And in our desperation

00:11:15.339 --> 00:11:16.659
 to change it all,

00:11:16.980 --> 00:11:18.459
 we try new things,

00:11:18.460 --> 00:11:20.120
 we start new projects,

00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:21.440
 we make ourselves

00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:22.300
 new promises.

00:11:23.100 --> 00:11:24.160
 In our longings

00:11:24.160 --> 00:11:25.019
 to be filled

00:11:25.019 --> 00:11:25.820
 and satisfied,

00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:27.639
 we stuff ourselves

00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:28.460
 with new comforts,

00:11:29.740 --> 00:11:30.740
 new relationships,

00:11:31.780 --> 00:11:32.740
 new jobs.

00:11:33.800 --> 00:11:34.660
 But it's into

00:11:34.660 --> 00:11:35.320
 all this

00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:36.460
 restless noise

00:11:37.060 --> 00:11:37.900
 and into this

00:11:37.900 --> 00:11:39.480
 relentless striving

00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:41.100
 that we're introduced

00:11:41.100 --> 00:11:42.580
 to one person

00:11:42.580 --> 00:11:44.100
 who can bring about

00:11:44.100 --> 00:11:45.460
 a new creation

00:11:45.460 --> 00:11:46.280
 of our lives.

00:11:46.280 --> 00:11:47.480
 And when we listen

00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:48.400
 to this person,

00:11:48.460 --> 00:11:49.680
 when we hear

00:11:49.680 --> 00:11:50.460
 his words,

00:11:51.060 --> 00:11:51.980
 he brings about

00:11:51.980 --> 00:11:52.780
 an order,

00:11:53.379 --> 00:11:54.280
 a design,

00:11:54.680 --> 00:11:55.519
 and a beauty.

00:11:56.820 --> 00:11:58.259
 When we trust him,

00:11:59.100 --> 00:12:00.120
 he heals us

00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:01.560
 of all our past,

00:12:02.060 --> 00:12:03.120
 he secures

00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:04.100
 our future,

00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:05.460
 and he gives us

00:12:05.460 --> 00:12:06.460
 a way to live

00:12:06.460 --> 00:12:07.480
 today.

00:12:08.780 --> 00:12:09.759
 It's the kind

00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:10.820
 of fresh start,

00:12:11.780 --> 00:12:12.540
 a new beginning

00:12:12.540 --> 00:12:13.440
 we desire

00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:14.660
 every day.

00:12:14.660 --> 00:12:14.940
 Every day

00:12:14.940 --> 00:12:16.540
 we wake up.

00:12:18.040 --> 00:12:19.420
 A new creation

00:12:19.420 --> 00:12:20.860
 formed

00:12:20.860 --> 00:12:22.100
 out of our

00:12:22.100 --> 00:12:22.720
 broken,

00:12:23.540 --> 00:12:24.840
 messed up lives.

00:12:25.980 --> 00:12:27.060
 So who is

00:12:27.060 --> 00:12:27.760
 this person?

00:12:28.420 --> 00:12:29.260
 Who's the one

00:12:29.260 --> 00:12:30.240
 who brings about

00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:31.840
 the new creation?

00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:33.700
 Well,

00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:34.620
 here we are,

00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:35.160
 second,

00:12:36.040 --> 00:12:36.820
 a promised

00:12:36.820 --> 00:12:37.860
 king.

00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:39.820
 The new creation

00:12:39.820 --> 00:12:40.779
 comes through.

00:12:40.899 --> 00:12:41.720
 Look at verse 1.

00:12:42.220 --> 00:12:43.840
 This is the genealogy

00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:45.320
 of Jesus,

00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:47.080
 the Messiah,

00:12:47.259 --> 00:12:48.419
 the son of David,

00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:50.519
 the son of Abraham.

00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:52.840
 Jesus is the person

00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:53.860
 who brings about

00:12:53.860 --> 00:12:54.840
 the new creation

00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:55.480
 in life.

00:12:55.860 --> 00:12:56.620
 And to help us

00:12:56.620 --> 00:12:57.379
 understand

00:12:57.379 --> 00:12:58.820
 who Jesus is

00:12:58.820 --> 00:12:59.960
 and why he's

00:12:59.960 --> 00:13:01.620
 qualified to do this,

00:13:01.620 --> 00:13:03.019
 Matthew begins

00:13:03.019 --> 00:13:03.899
 by tracing

00:13:03.899 --> 00:13:05.139
 his family line

00:13:05.139 --> 00:13:06.700
 from Abraham

00:13:06.700 --> 00:13:08.700
 to David

00:13:08.700 --> 00:13:10.620
 to Jesus.

00:13:11.299 --> 00:13:11.960
 That's what

00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:12.840
 the list of names

00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:13.100
 is.

00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:14.220
 So from 2

00:13:14.220 --> 00:13:14.820
 to 6,

00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:16.419
 Abraham to David

00:13:16.419 --> 00:13:18.039
 and from 6

00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:19.159
 through to 16,

00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:19.700
 David

00:13:19.700 --> 00:13:21.080
 down to

00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:21.740
 Jesus.

00:13:22.019 --> 00:13:22.639
 So let's

00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:23.639
 follow the family

00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:24.100
 line

00:13:24.100 --> 00:13:25.460
 and see

00:13:25.460 --> 00:13:26.940
 why Jesus

00:13:26.940 --> 00:13:27.840
 is qualified

00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:29.060
 to be this

00:13:29.060 --> 00:13:30.419
 promised king.

00:13:30.419 --> 00:13:32.299
 first,

00:13:33.339 --> 00:13:34.159
 Jesus is

00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:35.240
 the son

00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:36.019
 of Abraham.

00:13:37.019 --> 00:13:37.779
 So we read

00:13:37.779 --> 00:13:38.419
 in verse 2

00:13:38.419 --> 00:13:39.159
 that Abraham

00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:40.120
 was the father

00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:40.719
 of Isaac

00:13:40.719 --> 00:13:41.259
 and Isaac,

00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:41.839
 the father

00:13:41.839 --> 00:13:42.439
 of Jacob

00:13:42.439 --> 00:13:43.860
 and so on.

00:13:44.500 --> 00:13:44.819
 You see,

00:13:44.939 --> 00:13:45.259
 Matthew

00:13:45.259 --> 00:13:46.159
 intentionally

00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:47.139
 starts with

00:13:47.139 --> 00:13:47.839
 Abraham

00:13:47.839 --> 00:13:49.719
 because that's

00:13:49.719 --> 00:13:50.819
 where we hear

00:13:50.819 --> 00:13:52.179
 God's great

00:13:52.179 --> 00:13:52.839
 promise

00:13:52.839 --> 00:13:53.740
 to the world.

00:13:54.579 --> 00:13:55.039
 Do you remember

00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:55.919
 the great promise?

00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:57.620
 Go back to

00:13:57.620 --> 00:13:58.139
 Genesis

00:13:58.139 --> 00:13:59.599
 chapter 12

00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:00.460
 in your Bible.

00:14:01.220 --> 00:14:01.860
 First book

00:14:01.860 --> 00:14:02.399
 of the Bible,

00:14:02.560 --> 00:14:02.879
 Genesis

00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:03.960
 chapter 12.

00:14:15.899 --> 00:14:16.860
 Here God

00:14:16.860 --> 00:14:17.500
 promises

00:14:17.500 --> 00:14:18.379
 to bring

00:14:18.379 --> 00:14:19.180
 blessing

00:14:19.180 --> 00:14:21.100
 to the nations,

00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:22.180
 to the peoples

00:14:22.180 --> 00:14:23.540
 of the earth.

00:14:23.680 --> 00:14:24.060
 Genesis

00:14:24.060 --> 00:14:25.200
 chapter 12

00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:26.480
 verse 1.

00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:26.539
 Abraham.

00:14:28.899 --> 00:14:29.639
 The Lord

00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:30.360
 said to

00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:31.240
 Abraham,

00:14:31.379 --> 00:14:31.879
 later he

00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:32.220
 would be

00:14:32.220 --> 00:14:32.600
 called

00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:33.240
 Abraham.

00:14:33.800 --> 00:14:34.180
 The Lord

00:14:34.180 --> 00:14:34.539
 said to

00:14:34.539 --> 00:14:34.820
 Abraham,

00:14:35.019 --> 00:14:35.620
 go from

00:14:35.620 --> 00:14:36.259
 your country,

00:14:36.379 --> 00:14:36.860
 your people

00:14:36.860 --> 00:14:37.220
 and your

00:14:37.220 --> 00:14:37.659
 father's

00:14:37.659 --> 00:14:38.000
 household

00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:38.399
 to the

00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:38.800
 land I

00:14:38.800 --> 00:14:39.200
 will show

00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:39.399
 you.

00:14:39.800 --> 00:14:40.220
 I will

00:14:40.220 --> 00:14:40.659
 make you

00:14:40.659 --> 00:14:41.060
 into a

00:14:41.060 --> 00:14:41.659
 great nation

00:14:41.659 --> 00:14:42.060
 and I

00:14:42.060 --> 00:14:43.120
 will bless

00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:43.480
 you.

00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:44.259
 I will

00:14:44.259 --> 00:14:44.700
 make your

00:14:44.700 --> 00:14:45.320
 name great

00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:45.920
 and you

00:14:45.920 --> 00:14:46.460
 will be

00:14:46.460 --> 00:14:47.340
 a blessing.

00:14:48.100 --> 00:14:48.480
 I will

00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:49.159
 bless those

00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:49.659
 who bless

00:14:49.659 --> 00:14:50.120
 you and

00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:50.399
 whoever

00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:50.879
 curses

00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:51.259
 you I

00:14:51.259 --> 00:14:51.860
 will curse.

00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:53.159
 And here

00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:53.700
 it comes.

00:14:53.700 --> 00:14:55.240
 and all

00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:56.560
 peoples on

00:14:56.560 --> 00:14:57.460
 earth

00:14:57.460 --> 00:14:59.020
 will be

00:14:59.020 --> 00:14:59.600
 blessed

00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:01.280
 through you.

00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:02.500
 What a

00:15:02.500 --> 00:15:03.300
 grand

00:15:03.300 --> 00:15:04.420
 promise.

00:15:05.340 --> 00:15:06.000
 God makes

00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:06.600
 the promise

00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:07.240
 to Abraham

00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:08.180
 that through

00:15:08.180 --> 00:15:09.280
 his family

00:15:09.280 --> 00:15:11.160
 the nations

00:15:11.160 --> 00:15:11.960
 of the world

00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:13.280
 all the

00:15:13.280 --> 00:15:14.140
 people groups

00:15:14.140 --> 00:15:15.160
 would be

00:15:15.160 --> 00:15:16.020
 blessed.

00:15:17.040 --> 00:15:17.660
 Now if we're

00:15:17.660 --> 00:15:18.040
 going to make

00:15:18.040 --> 00:15:18.740
 sense of this

00:15:18.740 --> 00:15:19.780
 promised blessing

00:15:19.780 --> 00:15:20.420
 we need to

00:15:20.420 --> 00:15:21.660
 remember that

00:15:21.660 --> 00:15:22.360
 God had brought

00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:22.980
 a curse

00:15:22.980 --> 00:15:23.860
 upon the

00:15:23.860 --> 00:15:24.200
 world

00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:25.300
 and the

00:15:25.300 --> 00:15:25.620
 people.

00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:26.159
 A curse

00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:26.720
 because of

00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:27.139
 people's

00:15:27.139 --> 00:15:27.539
 rebellion.

00:15:27.740 --> 00:15:28.580
 We read

00:15:28.580 --> 00:15:29.159
 about that

00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:29.879
 in Genesis

00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:30.800
 chapter 3.

00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:32.019
 A curse

00:15:32.019 --> 00:15:32.480
 that left

00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:32.840
 people

00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:33.600
 separated

00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:34.259
 from God

00:15:34.259 --> 00:15:35.159
 living in

00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:35.580
 a world

00:15:35.580 --> 00:15:36.080
 full of

00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:36.680
 disorder

00:15:36.680 --> 00:15:37.120
 decay

00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:37.740
 and death

00:15:37.740 --> 00:15:38.539
 and now

00:15:38.539 --> 00:15:39.120
 in Genesis

00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:39.560
 12

00:15:39.560 --> 00:15:40.519
 God makes

00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:41.039
 this great

00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:41.759
 big announcement

00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:42.779
 his promise

00:15:42.779 --> 00:15:43.899
 to undo

00:15:43.899 --> 00:15:45.300
 and reverse

00:15:45.300 --> 00:15:46.320
 the curse.

00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:47.300
 I'm going

00:15:47.300 --> 00:15:47.879
 to bring

00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:48.899
 blessing.

00:15:48.899 --> 00:15:51.240
 And how

00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:51.699
 is God

00:15:51.699 --> 00:15:52.139
 going to

00:15:52.139 --> 00:15:52.720
 do that?

00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:54.559
 Well God

00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:55.059
 not only

00:15:55.059 --> 00:15:55.720
 promised to

00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:56.419
 Abraham that

00:15:56.419 --> 00:15:56.720
 he would

00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:57.500
 bring blessing

00:15:57.500 --> 00:15:59.079
 he promised

00:15:59.079 --> 00:15:59.919
 Abraham that

00:15:59.919 --> 00:16:00.679
 from his

00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:02.159
 family there

00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:02.720
 would be a

00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:03.319
 bunch of

00:16:03.319 --> 00:16:04.120
 kings that

00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:04.480
 were going

00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:04.879
 to come

00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:05.299
 from his

00:16:05.299 --> 00:16:05.699
 family.

00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:06.720
 So go on

00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:07.179
 a couple of

00:16:07.179 --> 00:16:07.819
 pages to

00:16:07.819 --> 00:16:08.959
 Genesis 17

00:16:08.959 --> 00:16:11.779
 Genesis 17

00:16:11.779 --> 00:16:12.860
 and verse

00:16:12.860 --> 00:16:13.360
 6.

00:16:14.539 --> 00:16:15.419
 Again God

00:16:15.419 --> 00:16:16.000
 is speaking

00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:17.039
 more promises

00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:18.279
 to Abraham.

00:16:18.899 --> 00:16:20.500
 Genesis 17

00:16:20.500 --> 00:16:21.360
 verse 6.

00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:24.340
 God says

00:16:24.340 --> 00:16:24.860
 to Abraham

00:16:24.860 --> 00:16:25.279
 I will

00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:25.679
 make you

00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:26.459
 very fruitful

00:16:26.459 --> 00:16:28.319
 I will

00:16:28.319 --> 00:16:29.299
 make nations

00:16:29.299 --> 00:16:29.899
 of you

00:16:29.899 --> 00:16:32.379
 and kings

00:16:32.379 --> 00:16:33.340
 will come

00:16:33.340 --> 00:16:33.919
 from you.

00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:35.379
 Go on

00:16:35.379 --> 00:16:35.740
 to verse

00:16:35.740 --> 00:16:36.340
 15.

00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:38.899
 God also

00:16:38.899 --> 00:16:39.360
 said to

00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:39.779
 Abraham

00:16:39.779 --> 00:16:41.459
 as for

00:16:41.459 --> 00:16:41.899
 Sarah

00:16:41.899 --> 00:16:42.639

00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:43.399
 you are

00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:43.879
 no longer

00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:44.340
 to call

00:16:44.340 --> 00:16:44.840
 her Sarah

00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:45.720
 her name

00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:46.059
 will be

00:16:46.059 --> 00:16:46.460

00:16:46.460 --> 00:16:47.419
 I will

00:16:47.419 --> 00:16:48.159

00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:48.620

00:16:48.620 --> 00:16:48.959

00:16:49.719 --> 00:16:50.159

00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:50.740

00:16:50.740 --> 00:16:51.659

00:16:51.659 --> 00:16:52.519

00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:53.639

00:16:54.100 --> 00:16:54.519
 be the

00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:54.799
 mother

00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:55.519

00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:57.319
 kings of

00:16:57.319 --> 00:16:57.819
 peoples

00:16:57.819 --> 00:16:58.399
 will come

00:16:58.399 --> 00:16:58.899
 from her

00:16:58.899 --> 00:17:00.439
 so can you

00:17:00.439 --> 00:17:00.899
 get this

00:17:00.899 --> 00:17:01.740
 grand big

00:17:01.740 --> 00:17:02.240
 promise

00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:03.039
 God says

00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:03.419
 I'm going

00:17:03.419 --> 00:17:04.000
 to bless

00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:04.700
 the nations

00:17:04.700 --> 00:17:05.579
 and the

00:17:05.579 --> 00:17:06.240
 blessing is

00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:06.619
 going to

00:17:06.619 --> 00:17:07.180

00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:07.899
 a bunch

00:17:07.899 --> 00:17:08.500
 of kings

00:17:08.500 --> 00:17:08.879
 that are

00:17:08.879 --> 00:17:09.139
 going to

00:17:09.139 --> 00:17:09.599

00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:09.879
 you

00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:13.300
 so he

00:17:13.300 --> 00:17:13.740
 starts

00:17:13.740 --> 00:17:14.180
 with

00:17:14.180 --> 00:17:15.260
 Abraham

00:17:15.260 --> 00:17:16.200
 Jesus

00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:16.600
 the

00:17:16.600 --> 00:17:16.840
 son

00:17:16.840 --> 00:17:17.000
 of

00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:17.440
 Abraham

00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:19.020
 and then

00:17:19.020 --> 00:17:19.320
 it's

00:17:19.320 --> 00:17:19.640
 Jesus

00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:20.040
 the

00:17:20.040 --> 00:17:20.420
 son

00:17:20.420 --> 00:17:21.580
 of

00:17:21.580 --> 00:17:22.140
 David

00:17:22.140 --> 00:17:24.280
 Matthew

00:17:24.280 --> 00:17:24.880
 records

00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:25.560
 for us

00:17:25.560 --> 00:17:26.780
 that from

00:17:26.780 --> 00:17:27.200
 Abraham

00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:28.000
 comes

00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:28.980
 the king

00:17:28.980 --> 00:17:30.000
 of David

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:30.500
 and so

00:17:30.500 --> 00:17:31.220
 we continue

00:17:31.220 --> 00:17:31.840
 on with

00:17:31.840 --> 00:17:32.160
 David

00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:32.620
 because

00:17:32.620 --> 00:17:33.460
 that's

00:17:33.460 --> 00:17:33.880
 where we

00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:34.200
 see

00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:34.680

00:18:23.120 --> 00:18:24.060
 but this

00:18:24.060 --> 00:18:24.540
 time

00:18:24.540 --> 00:18:26.180
 there's

00:18:26.180 --> 00:18:26.480
 something

00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:27.140
 different

00:18:27.140 --> 00:18:29.180
 the promise

00:18:29.180 --> 00:18:29.860
 is tied

00:18:29.860 --> 00:18:31.220
 to

00:18:31.220 --> 00:18:32.100
 one

00:18:32.100 --> 00:18:33.040
 person

00:18:33.040 --> 00:18:34.180
 to come

00:18:34.180 --> 00:18:35.600
 so let's

00:18:35.600 --> 00:18:36.039
 pick it up

00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:36.460
 in chapter

00:18:37.779 --> 00:18:38.759

00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:40.240
 God is

00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:40.620
 speaking

00:18:40.620 --> 00:18:41.279
 to David

00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:42.680
 he says

00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:43.039
 the Lord

00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:43.580
 declares

00:18:43.580 --> 00:18:44.060

00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:48.400
 a house

 I will

00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:54.700

00:19:35.620 --> 00:19:36.180
 God is

00:19:36.180 --> 00:19:36.960
 promising

00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:37.920
 to bless

00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:38.960
 the nations

00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:40.420
 but that's

00:19:40.420 --> 00:19:41.060
 going to be

00:19:41.060 --> 00:19:41.680
 fulfilled

00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:43.020
 in one

00:19:43.020 --> 00:19:43.840
 person to

00:19:43.840 --> 00:19:44.140
 come

00:19:44.140 --> 00:19:45.380
 one king

00:19:45.380 --> 00:19:45.760
 who was

00:19:45.760 --> 00:19:46.160
 to come

00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:46.860
 a king

00:19:46.860 --> 00:19:47.180
 who would

00:19:47.180 --> 00:19:47.700
 establish

00:19:47.700 --> 00:19:48.180
 a new

00:19:48.180 --> 00:19:48.580
 kingdom

00:19:48.580 --> 00:19:49.700
 a new

00:19:49.700 --> 00:19:50.520
 creation

00:19:50.520 --> 00:19:51.340
 kind of

00:19:51.340 --> 00:19:51.700
 kingdom

00:19:51.700 --> 00:19:52.640
 a kingdom

00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:53.320
 of new

00:19:53.320 --> 00:19:53.800
 beginnings

00:19:53.800 --> 00:19:54.540
 and fresh

00:19:54.540 --> 00:19:55.020
 starts

00:19:55.020 --> 00:19:55.940
 a kingdom

00:19:55.940 --> 00:19:56.520
 that would

00:19:56.520 --> 00:19:57.280
 last

00:19:57.279 --> 00:19:57.779
 forever

00:19:57.779 --> 00:19:58.279
 where there

00:19:58.279 --> 00:19:58.680
 would be

00:19:58.680 --> 00:19:59.639
 no more

00:19:59.639 --> 00:20:00.200
 curse

00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.740
 let's go

00:20:03.740 --> 00:20:04.339
 back to

00:20:04.339 --> 00:20:04.759
 Matthew

00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:07.259
 so

00:20:07.259 --> 00:20:07.680
 Jesus

00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:08.359
 is the

00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:08.759
 son

00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:10.240
 of Abraham

00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:11.960
 the son

00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:12.899
 of David

00:20:12.899 --> 00:20:15.160
 Matthew

00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:15.920
 gives us

00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:17.240
 all these

00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:17.899
 lists of

00:20:17.899 --> 00:20:18.220
 names

00:20:18.220 --> 00:20:18.599
 and he

00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:19.460
 traces the

00:20:19.460 --> 00:20:20.619
 genealogy

00:20:20.619 --> 00:20:21.160
 from

 verse 2

00:20:22.099 --> 00:20:22.720

00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:24.039
 to David

00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:24.960
 and then

00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:25.440
 all the way

00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:26.039
 let's read

00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:26.940
 verse 16

00:20:26.940 --> 00:20:29.000
 and Jacob

00:20:30.320 --> 00:20:31.019
 the husband

00:20:31.019 --> 00:20:31.720
 of Mary

00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:32.400
 and Mary

00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:32.880
 was the

00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:33.380

00:20:33.380 --> 00:20:33.759
 Jesus

00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:34.680

00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:35.279
 called

00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:36.900
 the Messiah

00:20:36.900 --> 00:20:38.759
 Messiah

00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:39.400
 is a

00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:40.220
 Hebrew word

00:20:40.220 --> 00:20:42.559
 simply means

00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:44.039
 anointed one

00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:45.500

00:20:47.059 --> 00:20:47.519
 aren't we

00:20:53.380 --> 00:20:54.840

00:21:36.060 --> 00:21:36.400
 Jesus

00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:36.960
 into the

00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:37.260
 world

00:21:37.260 --> 00:21:38.200
 was planned

00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:39.540
 purposed

00:21:39.540 --> 00:21:40.760
 and all

00:21:40.760 --> 00:21:41.440
 promised

00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:42.780
 by God

00:21:42.780 --> 00:21:43.920
 he didn't

00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:44.900
 just show

00:21:44.900 --> 00:21:45.520
 up out of

00:21:45.520 --> 00:21:45.860
 nowhere

00:21:45.860 --> 00:21:46.760
 this is

00:21:46.760 --> 00:21:47.760
 no mistake

00:21:47.760 --> 00:21:48.220
 it wasn't

00:21:48.220 --> 00:21:48.760
 that Jesus

00:21:48.760 --> 00:21:49.520
 arrived and

00:21:49.520 --> 00:21:50.000
 they're thinking

00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:50.819
 I wonder

00:21:50.819 --> 00:21:51.559
 what job

00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:51.980
 will give

00:21:51.980 --> 00:21:52.299
 him to

00:21:52.299 --> 00:21:52.460
 do

00:21:52.460 --> 00:21:52.740
 what

00:21:52.740 --> 00:21:53.519
 could he

00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:53.980
 possibly

00:21:53.980 --> 00:21:54.440
 do

00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:55.019
 no

00:21:55.019 --> 00:21:55.440
 Jesus

00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:55.960
 is not

00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:56.160
 an

00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:57.079
 afterthought

00:21:57.079 --> 00:21:57.720
 he is

00:21:57.720 --> 00:21:58.259
 not some

00:21:58.259 --> 00:21:58.799
 desperate

00:21:58.799 --> 00:21:59.240
 attempt

00:21:59.240 --> 00:21:59.740
 by God

00:21:59.740 --> 00:22:00.140
 to try

00:22:00.140 --> 00:22:00.680
 and fix

00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:01.160
 everything

00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:01.940
 he is

00:22:01.940 --> 00:22:02.140
 the

00:22:02.140 --> 00:22:02.640
 promised

00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:03.039
 king

00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:03.720
 who has

00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:03.960
 now

00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:04.500
 come

00:22:04.500 --> 00:22:05.660
 for you

00:22:05.660 --> 00:22:06.519
 and for

00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:06.960
 me

00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:09.220
 the king

00:22:09.220 --> 00:22:09.819
 promised

00:22:09.819 --> 00:22:10.700
 from before

00:22:10.700 --> 00:22:11.259
 time

00:22:11.259 --> 00:22:12.180
 and who

00:22:12.180 --> 00:22:13.160
 now enters

00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:13.839
 into

00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:14.400
 time

00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:16.519
 that day

00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:18.079
 that day

00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:18.839
 has arrived

00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:19.660
 he's here

00:22:19.660 --> 00:22:21.040
 he's the

00:22:21.040 --> 00:22:21.440
 king

00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:22.360
 who brings

00:22:22.360 --> 00:22:23.040
 about a

00:22:23.040 --> 00:22:24.100
 new creation

00:22:24.100 --> 00:22:25.620
 of individual

00:22:25.620 --> 00:22:26.600
 lives

00:22:26.600 --> 00:22:28.480
 the fresh

00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:29.000
 start

00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:30.279
 that we

00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:30.840
 all long

00:22:30.840 --> 00:22:31.220
 for

00:22:31.220 --> 00:22:33.700
 but how

00:22:33.700 --> 00:22:34.140
 will this

00:22:34.140 --> 00:22:34.560
 happen

00:22:34.560 --> 00:22:36.420
 how do we

00:22:36.420 --> 00:22:36.920
 get to

00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:37.700
 experience

00:22:37.700 --> 00:22:38.740
 this

00:22:38.740 --> 00:22:39.600
 promised

00:22:39.600 --> 00:22:40.100
 king

00:22:40.100 --> 00:22:40.880
 bringing

00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:41.660
 about a

00:22:41.660 --> 00:22:42.580
 new creation

00:22:42.580 --> 00:22:43.620
 in our

00:22:43.620 --> 00:22:43.960
 life

00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:44.600
 how am I

00:22:44.600 --> 00:22:45.060
 going to

00:22:45.060 --> 00:22:45.900
 experience it

00:22:45.900 --> 00:22:46.460
 how are you

00:22:46.460 --> 00:22:47.060
 going to

00:22:47.059 --> 00:22:48.319
 you

00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:49.039
 well that

00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:49.559
 brings us

00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:49.960
 to number

00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:50.419
 three

00:22:50.419 --> 00:22:52.159
 a great

00:22:52.159 --> 00:22:53.200
 savior

00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:55.379
 you see

00:22:55.379 --> 00:22:56.279
 genealogies

00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:56.639
 are very

00:22:56.639 --> 00:22:57.200
 helpful

00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:58.700
 in tracing

00:22:58.700 --> 00:22:59.299
 your family

00:22:59.299 --> 00:22:59.639
 line

00:22:59.639 --> 00:23:00.419
 you probably

00:23:00.419 --> 00:23:00.879
 have

00:23:00.879 --> 00:23:02.659
 a genealogy

00:23:02.659 --> 00:23:03.220
 at home

00:23:03.220 --> 00:23:04.359
 tracing your

00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:05.139
 family line

00:23:05.139 --> 00:23:05.879
 back to a

00:23:05.879 --> 00:23:06.639
 certain date

00:23:06.639 --> 00:23:08.119
 well in

00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:09.099
 those times

00:23:09.099 --> 00:23:10.639
 a genealogy

00:23:10.639 --> 00:23:11.539
 not only helps

00:23:11.539 --> 00:23:12.079
 you trace

00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:12.559
 back your

00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:13.240
 family line

00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:14.079
 it also

00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:14.779
 acted like

00:23:14.779 --> 00:23:15.480
 your CV

00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:16.460
 your curriculum

00:23:16.460 --> 00:23:17.160
 vitae

00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:18.180
 it was a

00:23:18.180 --> 00:23:18.539
 way of

00:23:18.539 --> 00:23:18.880
 showing

00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:19.799
 this is

00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:20.220
 who I

00:23:20.220 --> 00:23:20.460
 am

00:23:20.460 --> 00:23:21.000
 these are

00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:21.740
 your

00:23:21.740 --> 00:23:22.799
 credentials

00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:25.539
 so in

00:23:25.539 --> 00:23:26.019
 Ezra

00:23:26.019 --> 00:23:26.860
 chapter 2

00:23:26.860 --> 00:23:27.440
 verse 6

00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:27.940
 you can look

00:23:27.940 --> 00:23:28.220
 it up

00:23:28.220 --> 00:23:28.640
 later

00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:29.680
 we read

00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:29.920
 of an

00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:30.360
 account

00:23:30.360 --> 00:23:30.779
 of a

00:23:30.779 --> 00:23:31.200
 priest

00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:32.200
 who wants

00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:32.559
 to go

00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:32.960
 working

00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:33.319
 in the

00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:33.680
 temple

00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:34.000
 because

00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:34.440
 that's

00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:34.579
 where

00:23:34.579 --> 00:23:35.079
 priests

00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:35.440
 work

00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:35.900
 they work

00:23:35.900 --> 00:23:36.160
 in the

00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:36.480
 temple

00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:37.140
 and he

00:23:37.140 --> 00:23:37.680
 shows up

00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:38.160
 for work

00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:38.880
 and guess

00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:39.200
 what

00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:40.079
 he's not

00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:40.579
 allowed to

00:23:40.579 --> 00:23:40.960
 serve in

00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:41.400
 the temple

00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:41.839
 why

00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:43.059
 because he

00:23:43.059 --> 00:23:43.620
 can't find

00:23:43.620 --> 00:23:43.819
 his

00:23:43.819 --> 00:23:44.660
 genealogy

00:23:44.660 --> 00:23:45.779
 he's got

00:23:45.779 --> 00:23:46.560
 no record

00:23:46.560 --> 00:23:46.920
 to say

00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:47.500
 it's me

00:23:47.500 --> 00:23:48.140
 I'm a

00:23:48.140 --> 00:23:48.440
 priest

00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:48.960
 check me

00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:49.200
 out

00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:49.700
 it's

00:23:49.700 --> 00:23:50.200
 really

00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:50.720
 true

00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:53.600
 we have

00:23:53.600 --> 00:23:53.940
 something

00:23:53.940 --> 00:23:54.380
 similar

00:23:54.380 --> 00:23:54.779
 today

00:23:54.779 --> 00:23:55.320

00:23:55.320 --> 00:23:56.140
 if you

00:23:56.140 --> 00:23:56.580
 go for

00:23:56.580 --> 00:23:57.140
 a job

00:23:57.140 --> 00:23:59.560
 it helps

00:23:59.560 --> 00:24:00.100
 if somebody

00:24:00.100 --> 00:24:00.800
 knows your

00:24:00.800 --> 00:24:01.320
 family

00:24:01.320 --> 00:24:02.940
 it's important

00:24:02.940 --> 00:24:03.540
 that isn't

00:24:03.540 --> 00:24:03.840
 it

00:24:03.840 --> 00:24:04.540
 they go

00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:23.419
 helpful

00:24:23.419 --> 00:24:23.899
 isn't it

00:24:23.899 --> 00:24:24.240
 that you've

00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:24.599

00:24:28.220 --> 00:24:28.539
 great

00:24:28.539 --> 00:24:29.220
 but when

00:24:29.220 --> 00:24:29.740
 we read

00:24:29.740 --> 00:24:30.459
 Jesus's

00:24:30.459 --> 00:24:31.199
 genealogy

00:24:31.199 --> 00:24:31.659
 when we

00:24:31.659 --> 00:24:32.240
 when we

 look at

00:24:32.579 --> 00:24:32.819
 his

00:24:32.819 --> 00:24:33.419
 credentials

00:24:33.419 --> 00:24:34.179
 it's

00:24:34.179 --> 00:24:34.480
 really

00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:35.159
 not so

00:24:35.159 --> 00:24:35.740
 great

00:24:35.740 --> 00:24:37.339
 it reads

00:24:37.339 --> 00:24:37.879
 more like

00:24:37.879 --> 00:24:38.579
 a rogues

00:24:38.579 --> 00:24:39.099
 gallery

00:24:39.099 --> 00:24:40.639
 there's

00:24:40.639 --> 00:24:41.139
 skeletons

00:24:41.139 --> 00:24:41.719
 falling

00:24:41.719 --> 00:24:42.559
 all over

00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:43.159
 the place

00:24:43.159 --> 00:24:43.899
 open every

00:24:43.899 --> 00:24:44.339
 door

00:24:44.339 --> 00:24:45.079
 and another

00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:45.619
 skeleton

00:24:45.619 --> 00:24:46.339
 pops out

00:24:46.339 --> 00:24:47.039
 it's

00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:47.639
 shameful

00:24:47.639 --> 00:24:48.939
 and

00:24:48.939 --> 00:24:49.740
 embarrassing

00:24:49.740 --> 00:24:51.259
 you don't

00:24:51.259 --> 00:24:51.819
 want to

00:24:51.819 --> 00:24:52.439
 read this

00:24:52.439 --> 00:24:53.259
 in public

00:24:53.259 --> 00:24:55.500
 but you

00:24:55.500 --> 00:24:55.939
 know what

00:24:55.939 --> 00:24:56.599
 rather than

00:24:56.599 --> 00:24:57.679
 disqualify

00:24:57.679 --> 00:24:58.219
 Jesus

00:24:58.219 --> 00:24:59.859
 this only

00:24:59.859 --> 00:25:00.480
 helps us

00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:01.099
 to see

00:25:01.099 --> 00:25:01.859

 great

00:25:02.339 --> 00:25:03.319
 and amazing

00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:04.019
 saviour

00:25:04.019 --> 00:25:04.799
 he is

00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:06.980
 three

00:25:06.980 --> 00:25:07.500
 things

00:25:07.500 --> 00:25:08.079
 it tells

00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:08.519
 us

00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:10.460
 first

00:25:10.460 --> 00:25:14.539
 that

00:25:14.539 --> 00:25:14.920
 Jesus

00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:15.440
 comes

00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:15.740
 for

00:25:15.740 --> 00:25:16.559
 outsiders

00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:17.759
 and

00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:18.480
 failures

00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:20.680
 surprisingly

00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:21.200
 Matthew

00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:21.940
 includes

00:25:21.940 --> 00:25:22.680

00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:24.299
 women

00:25:24.299 --> 00:25:24.839
 it's not

00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:25.359
 normal

00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:25.839
 to do

00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:26.139
 so

00:25:26.139 --> 00:25:26.539
 but he

00:25:26.539 --> 00:25:26.960
 does

00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:27.759
 five

00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:28.259

00:25:28.259 --> 00:25:28.639
 Mary

00:25:28.639 --> 00:25:29.079
 but we're

00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:29.279
 going to

00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:29.720

00:25:34.660 --> 00:25:34.940
 really

00:25:34.940 --> 00:25:35.740
 fit in

00:25:35.740 --> 00:25:37.400
 to put

00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:38.259

00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:52.940

 again let's

00:27:55.740 --> 00:27:56.200
 look at

00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:57.620
 verse 6

00:27:57.620 --> 00:27:58.700
 David

00:27:58.700 --> 00:28:00.380
 the greatest

00:28:00.380 --> 00:28:00.779
 of them

00:28:00.779 --> 00:28:01.180
 all

00:28:01.180 --> 00:28:03.259
 the father

00:28:03.259 --> 00:28:03.799
 of Solomon

00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:04.559
 whose mother

00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:05.400
 had been

00:28:05.400 --> 00:28:06.160
 Uriah's

00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:06.559
 wife

00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:08.539
 well you

00:28:08.539 --> 00:28:08.920

00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:09.799
 David enjoyed

00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:10.519
 his affair

00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:11.480
 so much

00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:12.900
 that he

00:28:12.900 --> 00:28:13.600
 arranged for

00:28:13.600 --> 00:28:14.240
 Uriah

00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:15.720
 to be

00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:16.539
 murdered off

00:28:16.539 --> 00:28:17.279
 so that he

00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:17.840
 could take

00:28:17.840 --> 00:28:18.500
 Uriah's

00:28:18.500 --> 00:28:19.100
 wife for

00:28:19.100 --> 00:28:19.620

 what a

00:28:21.120 --> 00:28:21.580
 scandal

00:28:21.580 --> 00:28:23.080
 a political

00:28:23.080 --> 00:28:23.700
 scandal

00:28:23.700 --> 00:28:24.860
 front pages

00:28:24.859 --> 00:28:25.319

00:28:29.679 --> 00:28:30.359
 nobody really

00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:30.979
 found out

00:28:30.979 --> 00:28:31.500
 did they

00:28:31.500 --> 00:28:34.919
 or verse

00:28:34.919 --> 00:28:35.339

00:28:35.339 --> 00:28:37.000
 Solomon

00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:38.419
 well Solomon

00:28:38.419 --> 00:28:38.839
 was a

00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:39.479
 disaster

00:28:39.479 --> 00:28:40.959
 mistreating

00:28:40.959 --> 00:28:41.699
 his people

00:28:41.699 --> 00:28:42.740
 and accumulating

00:28:42.740 --> 00:28:43.439
 women and

00:28:43.439 --> 00:28:44.399
 wealth all

00:28:44.399 --> 00:28:45.179
 for his own

00:28:45.179 --> 00:28:45.740
 pleasure

00:28:45.740 --> 00:28:47.819

 Rehoboam

00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:50.919
 he single

00:28:50.919 --> 00:28:51.519
 handedly

00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:52.539
 turned the

00:28:52.539 --> 00:28:53.740
 people from

00:28:53.740 --> 00:28:54.299
 God and

00:28:54.299 --> 00:28:55.059
 appointed his

00:28:55.059 --> 00:28:55.720
 own priests

00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:56.339
 and places

00:28:56.339 --> 00:28:56.940
 of worship

00:28:56.940 --> 00:28:58.319
 he ruined

00:28:58.319 --> 00:28:59.639
 the nation

00:28:59.639 --> 00:29:02.000
 or jump

00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:02.500
 down to

00:29:02.500 --> 00:29:02.839
 the end

00:29:03.659 --> 00:29:04.879
 Ahaz

00:29:04.879 --> 00:29:06.500
 Ahaz

00:29:06.500 --> 00:29:07.539
 in desperation

00:29:07.539 --> 00:29:08.680
 sacrificed

00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:09.419
 his own

00:29:09.419 --> 00:29:10.220
 son in a

00:29:10.220 --> 00:29:11.339
 fire in a

00:29:11.339 --> 00:29:11.980
 pagan act

00:29:11.980 --> 00:29:12.659
 of worship

00:29:12.659 --> 00:29:13.839
 could you

00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:14.759
 imagine the

00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:16.440
 thought of

00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:17.000
 picking up

00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:17.399
 your own

00:29:17.399 --> 00:29:18.200
 son and

00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:18.879
 placing him

00:29:18.879 --> 00:29:19.200
 in the

00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:20.099
 fire that

00:29:20.099 --> 00:29:20.519
 was his

00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:21.279
 desperation

00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:24.359
 oh they

00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:24.759
 may have

00:29:24.759 --> 00:29:25.700
 great titles

00:29:25.700 --> 00:29:26.980
 they may be

00:29:26.980 --> 00:29:27.720
 recorded in

00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:28.339
 history of

00:29:28.339 --> 00:29:29.079
 positions of

00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:29.819
 great power

00:29:29.819 --> 00:29:31.500
 but they're

00:29:31.500 --> 00:29:33.099
 all failures

00:29:33.099 --> 00:29:34.099
 morally

00:29:34.099 --> 00:29:35.460
 spiritually

00:29:35.460 --> 00:29:36.599
 socially

00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:38.139
 they're not

00:29:38.139 --> 00:29:38.799
 the kind of

00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:39.339
 man that you

00:29:39.339 --> 00:29:39.720
 would turn

00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:40.200
 around and

00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:41.220
 go that's

00:29:41.220 --> 00:29:42.119
 my dad

00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:46.139
 all these

00:29:46.139 --> 00:29:46.659
 people

00:29:46.659 --> 00:29:47.699
 every name

00:29:47.699 --> 00:29:48.119
 in this

00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:48.459
 list

00:29:48.459 --> 00:29:49.479
 they're all

00:29:49.479 --> 00:29:50.359
 outsiders

00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:51.199
 and failures

00:29:51.199 --> 00:29:52.099
 but yet

00:29:52.099 --> 00:29:53.239
 they're all

00:29:53.239 --> 00:29:53.679
 here

00:29:53.679 --> 00:29:55.659
 it's like

00:29:55.659 --> 00:29:56.379
 Jesus is

00:29:56.379 --> 00:29:56.859
 saying to

00:29:56.859 --> 00:29:57.119
 us

00:29:57.119 --> 00:29:58.539
 look at

00:29:58.539 --> 00:29:59.259
 my family

00:29:59.259 --> 00:30:00.139
 this is

00:30:00.139 --> 00:30:00.599
 who we

00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:00.959
 are

00:30:00.959 --> 00:30:01.759
 in all

00:30:01.759 --> 00:30:02.639
 its mess

00:30:02.639 --> 00:30:03.479
 and all

00:30:03.479 --> 00:30:03.739
 its

00:30:03.739 --> 00:30:04.799
 brokenness

00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:06.759
 and I

00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:07.440
 have come

00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:08.480
 for people

00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:10.220
 just like

00:30:10.220 --> 00:30:10.980
 this

00:30:10.980 --> 00:30:14.700
 and we

00:30:14.700 --> 00:30:15.059
 may be

00:30:15.059 --> 00:30:15.559
 here this

00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:16.159
 morning and

00:30:16.159 --> 00:30:16.720
 we can look

00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:17.279
 back into

00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:17.740
 our own

00:30:17.740 --> 00:30:18.279
 families

00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:20.759
 and we

00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:21.220
 can think

00:30:21.220 --> 00:30:21.680
 of things

00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:22.000
 that are

00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:22.899
 embarrassing

00:30:22.899 --> 00:30:23.740
 and shameful

00:30:23.740 --> 00:30:24.079
 and we

00:30:24.079 --> 00:30:24.460
 don't want

00:30:24.460 --> 00:30:25.119
 anybody to

00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:25.440
 know

00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:27.279
 but not

00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:27.799
 just our

00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:28.279
 families

00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:30.099
 we look

00:30:30.099 --> 00:30:30.579
 into our

00:30:30.579 --> 00:30:31.259
 own life

00:30:31.259 --> 00:30:33.299
 and we

00:30:33.299 --> 00:30:33.759
 remember

00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:34.419
 things we

00:30:34.420 --> 00:30:34.860
 have done

00:30:34.860 --> 00:30:35.320
 and things

00:30:35.320 --> 00:30:35.720
 we have

00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:36.060
 said

00:30:36.060 --> 00:30:36.779
 and actions

00:30:36.779 --> 00:30:37.180
 that have

00:30:37.180 --> 00:30:38.039
 taken place

00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:40.620
 and Jesus

00:30:40.620 --> 00:30:41.340
 is saying

00:30:41.340 --> 00:30:43.259
 I've come

00:30:43.259 --> 00:30:43.820
 for you

00:30:43.820 --> 00:30:46.000
 for moral

00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:46.720
 outsiders

00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:48.720
 for spiritual

00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:49.300
 failures

00:30:49.300 --> 00:30:50.920
 I have

00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:51.380
 come

00:30:51.380 --> 00:30:53.000
 for broken

00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:54.340
 and messy

00:30:54.340 --> 00:30:55.259
 people such

00:30:55.259 --> 00:30:55.940
 as us

00:30:55.940 --> 00:30:59.860
 Jesus

00:30:59.860 --> 00:31:00.360
 comes

00:31:00.360 --> 00:31:00.940
 not just

00:31:00.940 --> 00:31:01.759
 for outsiders

00:31:01.759 --> 00:31:03.500
 and failures

00:31:03.500 --> 00:31:05.339
 Jesus

00:31:05.339 --> 00:31:05.839
 has come

00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:06.640
 to save

00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:07.559
 by repentance

00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:08.359
 and faith

00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:09.700
 he comes

00:31:09.700 --> 00:31:10.940
 to rescue

00:31:10.940 --> 00:31:12.619
 moral outsiders

00:31:12.619 --> 00:31:13.960
 and spiritual

00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:14.680
 failures

00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:16.000
 jump ahead

00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:16.440
 to verse

00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:17.099
 21

00:31:17.099 --> 00:31:18.940
 Mary had

00:31:18.940 --> 00:31:20.099
 been told

00:31:20.099 --> 00:31:20.920
 by the angel

00:31:20.920 --> 00:31:21.559
 that she was

00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:22.099
 going to

00:31:22.099 --> 00:31:23.200
 have a son

00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:25.720
 and she's

00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:26.039
 told

00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:26.819
 verse 21

00:31:26.819 --> 00:31:28.039
 she will

00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:28.859
 give birth

00:31:28.859 --> 00:31:30.000
 to a son

00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:30.299
 and you

00:31:30.299 --> 00:31:30.559
 are to

00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:30.899
 give him

00:31:30.899 --> 00:31:31.379
 the name

00:31:31.379 --> 00:31:32.000
 Jesus

00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:34.079
 because he

00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:34.879
 will save

00:31:34.879 --> 00:31:35.679
 his people

00:31:35.679 --> 00:31:36.939
 from their

00:31:36.939 --> 00:31:37.659
 sins

00:31:37.659 --> 00:31:39.799
 that's what

00:31:39.799 --> 00:31:40.539
 this king

00:31:40.539 --> 00:31:41.039
 has come

00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:41.419
 for

00:31:41.419 --> 00:31:42.559
 this is the

00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:43.799
 primary purpose

00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:44.500
 of Jesus'

00:31:44.779 --> 00:31:45.240
 arrival

00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:46.299
 this is what

00:31:46.299 --> 00:31:46.819
 he has come

00:31:46.819 --> 00:31:47.299
 to do

00:31:47.299 --> 00:31:48.399
 when Jesus

00:31:48.399 --> 00:31:49.299
 died on the

00:31:49.299 --> 00:31:49.679
 cross

00:31:49.679 --> 00:31:50.879
 he became

00:31:50.879 --> 00:31:51.919
 sin

00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:53.759
 for us

00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:57.360
 just as we

00:31:57.360 --> 00:31:57.820
 read or

00:31:57.820 --> 00:31:58.660
 Ralph reminded

00:31:58.660 --> 00:31:59.200
 us that

00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:00.039
 Jesus came

00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:00.539
 into the

00:32:00.539 --> 00:32:01.160
 world to

00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:01.660
 save

00:32:01.660 --> 00:32:02.960
 sinners

00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:05.120
 people like

00:32:05.120 --> 00:32:05.560
 you and

00:32:05.560 --> 00:32:05.840
 I

00:32:05.840 --> 00:32:07.380
 Jesus as

00:32:07.380 --> 00:32:07.860
 he died

00:32:07.860 --> 00:32:08.200
 on the

00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:08.460
 cross

00:32:08.460 --> 00:32:09.100
 was treated

00:32:09.100 --> 00:32:09.560
 as a

00:32:09.560 --> 00:32:09.900
 moral

00:32:09.900 --> 00:32:10.940
 outsider

00:32:10.940 --> 00:32:11.740
 he was

00:32:11.740 --> 00:32:12.380
 rejected

00:32:12.380 --> 00:32:13.100
 as a

00:32:13.100 --> 00:32:13.560
 spiritual

00:32:13.560 --> 00:32:14.060
 failure

00:32:14.060 --> 00:32:14.860
 he was

00:32:14.860 --> 00:32:15.380
 punished

00:32:15.380 --> 00:32:16.019
 for my

00:32:16.019 --> 00:32:16.340
 sin

00:32:16.340 --> 00:32:16.740
 and your

00:32:16.740 --> 00:32:17.080
 sin

00:32:17.080 --> 00:32:18.039
 so that

00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:18.500
 we could

00:32:18.500 --> 00:32:18.740
 be

00:32:18.740 --> 00:32:19.259
 forgiven

00:32:19.259 --> 00:32:22.099
 he's

00:32:22.099 --> 00:32:22.400
 saying

00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:23.379
 come to

00:32:23.379 --> 00:32:23.700
 me

00:32:23.700 --> 00:32:24.480
 and I

00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:25.140
 will deal

00:32:25.140 --> 00:32:25.579
 with your

00:32:25.579 --> 00:32:26.119
 past

00:32:26.119 --> 00:32:26.839
 once and

00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:27.299
 for all

00:32:27.299 --> 00:32:28.200
 all those

00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:28.759
 secret

00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:29.420
 things that

00:32:29.420 --> 00:32:29.900
 you hang

00:32:29.900 --> 00:32:30.400
 on to

00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:31.279
 that trip

00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:31.720
 you up

00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:32.119
 and come

00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:32.519
 back to

00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:32.980
 your memory

00:32:32.980 --> 00:32:33.599
 time and

00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:34.160
 time again

00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:35.079
 and don't

00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:35.559
 allow you

00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:36.039
 to move

00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:36.299
 on

00:32:36.299 --> 00:32:37.400
 I will

00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:38.000
 deal

00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:38.519
 with it

00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:39.140
 all

00:32:39.140 --> 00:32:42.400
 and I

00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:42.819
 will give

00:32:42.819 --> 00:32:43.180
 you a

00:32:43.180 --> 00:32:43.440
 new

00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:43.859
 beginning

00:32:43.859 --> 00:32:45.640
 and I'll

00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:46.000
 give you

00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:46.420
 a new

00:32:46.420 --> 00:32:47.000
 future

00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:47.839
 for now

00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:48.700
 and

00:32:48.700 --> 00:32:49.620
 forever

00:32:49.620 --> 00:32:52.000
 how

00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:53.660
 he says

00:32:53.660 --> 00:32:54.279
 come to

00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:54.600
 me

00:32:54.600 --> 00:32:55.580
 look at

00:32:55.580 --> 00:32:56.279
 chapter 4

00:32:56.279 --> 00:32:57.200
 verse 17

00:32:57.200 --> 00:32:59.019
 as Jesus

00:32:59.019 --> 00:32:59.740
 began to

00:32:59.740 --> 00:33:00.240
 preach

00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:01.319
 as he

00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:01.860
 began to

00:33:01.860 --> 00:33:02.680
 explain who

00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:03.160
 he was

00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:03.480
 and what

00:33:03.480 --> 00:33:03.860
 he did

00:33:03.860 --> 00:33:04.600
 this is

00:33:04.600 --> 00:33:05.340
 his message

00:33:05.340 --> 00:33:06.340
 chapter 4

00:33:06.340 --> 00:33:07.180
 verse 17

00:33:07.180 --> 00:33:07.700
 from that

00:33:07.700 --> 00:33:08.360
 time on

00:33:08.360 --> 00:33:09.039
 Jesus

00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:09.740
 began to

00:33:09.740 --> 00:33:10.160
 preach

00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:11.059
 repent

00:33:11.059 --> 00:33:12.640
 for the

00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:13.080
 kingdom

00:33:13.080 --> 00:33:14.259
 of heaven

00:33:14.259 --> 00:33:15.340
 has come

00:33:15.340 --> 00:33:15.700
 near

00:33:15.700 --> 00:33:17.039
 the new

00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:17.700
 creation

00:33:17.700 --> 00:33:18.700
 that you

00:33:18.700 --> 00:33:19.120
 are all

00:33:19.120 --> 00:33:19.500
 longing

00:33:19.500 --> 00:33:19.980
 for

00:33:19.980 --> 00:33:20.960
 has now

00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:21.700
 come

00:33:21.700 --> 00:33:23.580
 and you

00:33:23.580 --> 00:33:24.100
 find it

00:33:24.100 --> 00:33:24.600
 in me

00:33:24.600 --> 00:33:26.700
 you find

00:33:26.700 --> 00:33:27.080
 it as

00:33:27.080 --> 00:33:27.920
 you repent

00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:29.900
 repentance

00:33:29.900 --> 00:33:30.779
 is always

00:33:30.779 --> 00:33:31.539
 a double

00:33:31.539 --> 00:33:32.319
 response

00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:33.660
 it's turning

00:33:33.660 --> 00:33:34.740
 from one

00:33:34.740 --> 00:33:35.200
 way of

00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:35.559
 living

00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:37.440
 and turning

00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:38.960
 to trusting

00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:40.220
 in

00:33:40.220 --> 00:33:41.480
 someone else

00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:42.299
 something else

00:33:42.299 --> 00:33:43.279
 trying

00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:44.420
 turning from

00:33:44.420 --> 00:33:44.980
 trying to

00:33:44.980 --> 00:33:45.900
 save yourself

00:33:45.900 --> 00:33:47.480
 to trusting

00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:48.740
 in Jesus

00:33:48.740 --> 00:33:49.539
 the saviour

00:33:49.539 --> 00:33:50.340
 or we put

00:33:50.340 --> 00:33:50.759
 it another

00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:51.320
 way it's

00:33:51.320 --> 00:33:51.840
 no longer

00:33:51.840 --> 00:33:52.660
 putting faith

00:33:52.660 --> 00:33:53.460
 in self

00:33:53.460 --> 00:33:54.800
 but putting

00:33:54.800 --> 00:33:56.120
 faith in

00:33:56.120 --> 00:33:56.539
 Jesus

00:33:56.539 --> 00:33:58.480
 it's owning

00:33:58.480 --> 00:33:59.880
 our past

00:33:59.880 --> 00:34:01.160
 it's owning

00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:02.160
 our sin

00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:03.140
 it's taking

00:34:03.140 --> 00:34:03.940
 responsibility

00:34:03.940 --> 00:34:05.100
 for how we've

00:34:05.100 --> 00:34:05.880
 responded and

00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:06.400
 what we've

00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:06.680
 done

00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:08.579
 and coming

00:34:08.579 --> 00:34:09.220
 to Jesus

00:34:09.220 --> 00:34:10.519
 and saying

00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:11.880
 you need to

00:34:11.880 --> 00:34:12.659
 deal with it

00:34:12.659 --> 00:34:13.839
 you need to

00:34:13.839 --> 00:34:14.579
 take it all

00:34:14.579 --> 00:34:16.079
 because I

00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:17.119
 can't do it

00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:18.799
 that's

00:34:18.799 --> 00:34:19.339
 repentance

00:34:19.339 --> 00:34:20.960
 that's faith

00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:21.899
 it's how we

00:34:21.899 --> 00:34:22.639
 begin our

00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:23.339
 journey with

00:34:23.339 --> 00:34:23.719
 Jesus

00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:24.739
 and it's how

00:34:24.739 --> 00:34:25.379
 we continue

00:34:25.379 --> 00:34:25.899
 with him

00:34:25.899 --> 00:34:26.819
 and if you're

00:34:26.819 --> 00:34:27.480
 here today

00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:28.179
 and you've

00:34:28.179 --> 00:34:28.719
 never done

00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:29.000
 it

00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:30.619
 listen to

00:34:30.619 --> 00:34:31.259
 his words

00:34:31.259 --> 00:34:32.199
 repent

00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:33.500
 come to

00:34:33.500 --> 00:34:33.779
 me

00:34:33.779 --> 00:34:35.799
 if you

00:34:35.799 --> 00:34:36.259
 have

00:34:36.259 --> 00:34:37.639
 and you're

00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:38.139
 struggling

00:34:38.139 --> 00:34:39.339
 come back

00:34:39.339 --> 00:34:39.739
 to the

00:34:39.739 --> 00:34:40.500
 words again

00:34:40.500 --> 00:34:41.639
 and see

00:34:41.639 --> 00:34:42.199
 the new

00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:42.779
 creation

00:34:42.779 --> 00:34:43.099
 that he

00:34:43.099 --> 00:34:43.379
 gives

00:34:43.379 --> 00:34:44.039
 we don't

00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:44.659
 have to

00:34:44.659 --> 00:34:45.059
 live

00:34:45.059 --> 00:34:45.559
 shaped

00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:46.079
 by our

00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:46.559
 past

00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:48.119
 we are

00:34:48.119 --> 00:34:48.359
 now

00:34:48.359 --> 00:34:48.839
 living

00:34:48.839 --> 00:34:49.859
 a new

00:34:49.859 --> 00:34:50.179
 way

00:34:50.179 --> 00:34:51.059
 for a

00:34:51.059 --> 00:34:51.259
 better

00:34:51.259 --> 00:34:51.819
 future

00:34:51.819 --> 00:34:53.659
 so

00:34:53.659 --> 00:34:54.019
 Jesus

00:34:54.019 --> 00:34:54.539
 comes

00:34:54.539 --> 00:34:54.819
 for

00:34:54.819 --> 00:34:55.460
 outsiders

00:34:55.460 --> 00:34:55.819
 and

00:34:55.819 --> 00:34:56.279
 failures

00:34:56.279 --> 00:34:57.779
 and he

00:34:57.779 --> 00:34:58.359
 saves

00:34:58.359 --> 00:34:59.859
 by repentance

00:34:59.859 --> 00:35:01.259
 and faith

00:35:01.259 --> 00:35:04.039
 and then

00:35:04.039 --> 00:35:04.460
 third

00:35:04.460 --> 00:35:05.940
 he works

00:35:05.940 --> 00:35:06.219
 through

00:35:06.219 --> 00:35:06.819
 weakness

00:35:06.820 --> 00:35:08.500
 humility

00:35:08.500 --> 00:35:10.059
 go back

00:35:10.059 --> 00:35:10.580
 to chapter

00:35:10.580 --> 00:35:11.019
 one

00:35:17.980 --> 00:35:18.440
 Jacob

00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:18.980
 was the

00:35:18.980 --> 00:35:19.280
 father

00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:19.559
 of
