00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.640
 If you have your Bible, you can open it up to John chapter 14, John chapter 14.

00:00:23.780 --> 00:00:28.960
 Last Sunday, we were thinking about Jesus' words to his disciples on the evening of his

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:29.339
 betrayal.

00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:35.280
 And I'm just going to read the first six verses of this chapter again to remind us of what's

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:37.719
 going on in the story this morning.

00:00:38.780 --> 00:00:42.579
 So John chapter 14, verse 1 to 6.

00:00:43.740 --> 00:00:46.260
 Do not let your hearts be troubled.

00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:48.219
 Believe in God.

00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:50.799
 Believe also in me.

00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:53.960
 In my Father's house are many rooms.

00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:59.259
 If that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for

00:00:59.259 --> 00:00:59.460
 you?

00:01:00.420 --> 00:01:08.200
 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me, that

00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:10.000
 you also may be where I am.

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:15.000
 You know the way to the place where I am going.

00:01:18.739 --> 00:01:25.400
 Thomas said to him, Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?

00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:33.780
 Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life.

00:01:33.780 --> 00:01:39.320
 No one comes to the Father except through me.

00:01:41.700 --> 00:01:47.280
 We considered these words last Sunday from the perspective of the disciples and their

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:48.019
 troubled hearts.

00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:54.379
 And we focused on Jesus' main thrust here, which is that they ought not to worry, but

00:01:54.379 --> 00:01:56.939
 instead to trust God, to trust Jesus.

00:01:56.939 --> 00:02:03.280
 Even though he's leaving them, he will be coming back again and they will be together

00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:03.700
 again.

00:02:05.140 --> 00:02:08.379
 If you missed last week, you can listen to that audio on the church website.

00:02:08.500 --> 00:02:09.539
 We have it posted there.

00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:16.419
 And we started there because it's so important that we hear these words of Jesus in their

00:02:16.419 --> 00:02:17.060
 context.

00:02:18.099 --> 00:02:21.780
 The way that the disciples would have heard them as best as we can.

00:02:21.780 --> 00:02:27.120
 What did it mean to those seated around the table that night?

00:02:28.539 --> 00:02:33.060
 Well, this morning, we want to consider these words from a different angle.

00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:40.520
 Some of you may have been wondering last week, Josh, how did you manage to preach a sermon

00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:45.819
 on John chapter 14, verses 2 and 3, and not even mention heaven once?

00:02:45.819 --> 00:02:52.599
 Well, that was deliberate because heaven is a big topic in the New Testament.

00:02:53.259 --> 00:02:57.680
 And I wanted to save that discussion for this morning so that we can talk about it more fully

00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.539
 rather than preaching two sermons last Sunday.

00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:02.060
 So here we go.

00:03:03.699 --> 00:03:06.479
 Verses 2 and 3, Jesus says,

00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:35.039
 These words of Jesus are some of the first that come to mind for many when they think about

00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:36.120
 the promise of heaven.

00:03:37.939 --> 00:03:45.159
 But many of our Christian brothers and sisters have understood these words of Jesus in different

00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.539
 ways to mean different things.

00:03:48.539 --> 00:03:49.579
 Why is that?

00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:56.579
 Well, one reason people have come to different ideas about heaven from this passage is because

00:03:56.579 --> 00:03:58.379
 of the differences in Bible translation.

00:03:59.979 --> 00:04:04.939
 Some of you are probably familiar with the old King James version of the Bible, which

00:04:04.939 --> 00:04:05.319
 says,

00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.900
 In my Father's house are many mansions.

00:04:10.359 --> 00:04:16.139
 The word mansions made it into many Christian hymns of the past several hundred years.

00:04:17.339 --> 00:04:19.379
 Sing the wondrous love of Jesus.

00:04:20.180 --> 00:04:21.959
 Sing his mercy and his grace.

00:04:22.860 --> 00:04:27.540
 In the mansions, bright and blessed, he'll prepare for us a place.

00:04:28.860 --> 00:04:29.240
 Or,

00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.420
 My Jesus, I love thee.

00:04:31.860 --> 00:04:33.340
 I know thou art mine.

00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:36.160
 It has a verse in that song that says,

00:04:36.620 --> 00:04:39.600
 In mansions of glory and endless delight,

00:04:40.019 --> 00:04:43.280
 I'll ever adore thee in heaven so bright.

00:04:44.699 --> 00:04:46.460
 Now it sounds wonderful, doesn't it?

00:04:46.459 --> 00:04:53.279
 The idea that we get from this is that each one of us will have our own mansion.

00:04:54.019 --> 00:05:02.599
 A large, spacious, beautiful house that puts the million dollar mansions of this earth to shame.

00:05:03.819 --> 00:05:08.060
 So how is it then that every other Bible translation in English simply says,

00:05:08.060 --> 00:05:11.780
 Many rooms or many dwelling places?

00:05:13.280 --> 00:05:14.180
 I mean, come on now.

00:05:16.339 --> 00:05:18.240
 Well, if we dig into this a little deeper,

00:05:18.339 --> 00:05:21.759
 we find out that back in the days when they spoke Middle English

00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:27.100
 and William Tyndale was first translating the first English translation of the Bible,

00:05:28.259 --> 00:05:31.560
 the word mansion simply meant dwelling place.

00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:38.500
 It had no implications of being a rather large or lavish or luxurious house.

00:05:39.500 --> 00:05:42.500
 The word was derived from the Latin word mansions,

00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:44.840
 which also simply meant dwelling place.

00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:51.879
 And then, when we finally got around to collecting up all the manuscripts of ancient Greek writing,

00:05:52.540 --> 00:05:55.980
 we came to see that there too, the Greek word beneath all of this,

00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.939
 simply meant dwelling place or room or abode.

00:05:59.939 --> 00:06:04.360
 It doesn't mean there's a problem with the King James translation.

00:06:04.740 --> 00:06:06.500
 It was a good translation for its day.

00:06:07.939 --> 00:06:09.680
 Mansion meant dwelling place.

00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:14.819
 The problem is that since then, the English language has changed so much.

00:06:15.740 --> 00:06:19.319
 So much so that today, when somebody says mansion,

00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:25.560
 our minds immediately go to large house, luxurious house, spacious, extravagant home.

00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:31.280
 And so translation differences have affected our ideas of heaven.

00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:37.259
 I hate to break it to you, but Jesus is not promising the disciples

00:06:37.259 --> 00:06:41.939
 that they will each get their own large, spacious, beautiful house

00:06:41.939 --> 00:06:45.240
 that puts the million-dollar mansions of this earth to shame.

00:06:46.379 --> 00:06:51.199
 Let's look a little closer at the text and what he is saying to them.

00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:53.599
 He says,

00:06:53.920 --> 00:07:02.180
 My Father's house has many rooms, dwelling places, living spaces.

00:07:03.819 --> 00:07:08.939
 If we read carefully, we see that Jesus is not talking about many houses,

00:07:09.459 --> 00:07:10.360
 one for each of us.

00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:14.659
 He's talking about one house, the Father's house,

00:07:14.660 --> 00:07:22.860
 God's house, which has many rooms, many places within it to live.

00:07:25.020 --> 00:07:28.100
 This should change our idea of heaven completely, shouldn't it?

00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:33.720
 The point is not that we will all someday get to go live near God,

00:07:34.100 --> 00:07:37.600
 like just in the house down the road from where he lives.

00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:39.480
 No.

00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:46.439
 The point is that we who belong to Jesus will all someday get to live with God,

00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:51.580
 in his house, in the Father's house.

00:07:53.460 --> 00:07:57.200
 This speaks of the closeness of relationship that God desires with us.

00:07:57.260 --> 00:07:58.780
 He doesn't want us just nearby.

00:07:59.180 --> 00:08:04.160
 He wants us right there with him, in his presence,

00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:06.780
 in his own place.

00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:13.040
 And so that's the first reason we get some different ideas from this passage about heaven,

00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:14.200
 translation differences.

00:08:14.780 --> 00:08:15.939
 But there's another reason.

00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:19.440
 It kind of brings us to our next reason for our different ideas of heaven.

00:08:20.379 --> 00:08:23.500
 Some brothers and sisters in Christ will take these words of Jesus

00:08:23.500 --> 00:08:29.260
 in a little more of a material sense,

00:08:29.259 --> 00:08:35.819
 while others, myself included, will take these words of Jesus a little more metaphorically.

00:08:36.539 --> 00:08:38.799
 To illustrate the difference, let me ask you,

00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:44.500
 is Jesus saying that his Father lives in a massive house

00:08:44.500 --> 00:08:47.860
 that has separate individual rooms within it,

00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:49.240
 one for each of his people?

00:08:50.319 --> 00:08:52.679
 Is he talking about an out-of-this-world,

00:08:53.259 --> 00:08:56.799
 lavish, apartment-style building somewhere in heaven

00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:01.139
 where we will all have our own room in God's house someday?

00:09:02.500 --> 00:09:06.539
 Or was Jesus speaking figuratively, as he often did,

00:09:07.099 --> 00:09:09.599
 to convey in terms that we would understand

00:09:09.599 --> 00:09:14.639
 that we are someday to live with God in his place,

00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:19.279
 and that there'll be no shortage of space for all of his people?

00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:25.039
 Perhaps the disciples were thinking in a little bit more material

00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:28.519
 and earthly kinds of ways.

00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:31.019
 Perhaps they heard Jesus say earlier

00:09:31.019 --> 00:09:33.559
 that he's going away to prepare a place for them,

00:09:34.100 --> 00:09:36.139
 and the thing that came to their minds was simply,

00:09:36.319 --> 00:09:39.220
 well, I guess Jesus would take us now,

00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:42.600
 but there must not be room for us wherever he's going.

00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.159
 So maybe he's going there to prepare a place

00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:48.639
 and make sure that there's room enough for us to stay,

00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:50.620
 beds to sleep on, whatever,

00:09:51.100 --> 00:09:52.759
 and then he's going to come back to get us

00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:53.879
 and we'll leave Jerusalem

00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:59.120
 and we'll stay there with him for the next phase of this plan of God

00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:01.719
 while things maybe cool down a little bit here in Jerusalem.

00:10:01.899 --> 00:10:02.419
 I don't know.

00:10:04.839 --> 00:10:06.959
 Jesus seems to be answering this worry

00:10:06.959 --> 00:10:08.639
 or this concern of the disciples

00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:10.480
 and to be assuring them,

00:10:11.579 --> 00:10:14.399
 it's not for lack of room that I'm going to prepare.

00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:18.840
 It's not because my father's house needs some renovation work done

00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.740
 so that there's space for you to stay there with me.

00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:25.279
 My father's house has many rooms.

00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.019
 The problem, as we'll see later on in the story,

00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:32.740
 seems to me that the disciples still don't fully grasp

00:10:32.740 --> 00:10:33.860
 where Jesus is going.

00:10:36.059 --> 00:10:37.779
 That he's leaving this earth,

00:10:37.939 --> 00:10:39.659
 that he's going to his father,

00:10:39.779 --> 00:10:41.419
 that he's going out of this world

00:10:41.419 --> 00:10:45.799
 and not just to some distant or remote place here on earth.

00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:52.079
 And this kind of explains why Jesus would use metaphor here

00:10:52.079 --> 00:10:53.519
 because the things of heaven,

00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:55.620
 where Jesus is going,

00:10:56.059 --> 00:10:58.000
 are not the same as the things of earth.

00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:02.360
 The disciples are used to the things of earth.

00:11:02.479 --> 00:11:04.959
 They're used to things like houses with rooms in them

00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:08.920
 and so these are terms that they understand.

00:11:09.160 --> 00:11:11.060
 Jesus uses those terms,

00:11:11.160 --> 00:11:12.940
 just as he often does in other places.

00:11:13.940 --> 00:11:16.960
 Fig trees and vines and all kinds of other parables.

00:11:18.900 --> 00:11:21.660
 So whether we take these words in a material sense

00:11:21.660 --> 00:11:23.960
 or in a more metaphorical sense,

00:11:24.019 --> 00:11:26.840
 we'll really change our idea of what heaven is like.

00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:32.160
 And this matters too as we think about what it means for Jesus

00:11:32.160 --> 00:11:36.960
 to prepare a place for us there.

00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.259
 What does Jesus mean by that?

00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:44.240
 I'm going to prepare a place for you in my father's house.

00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.960
 If we think of Jesus' words in the material sense,

00:11:49.860 --> 00:11:52.180
 we might imagine that Jesus is up there,

00:11:52.700 --> 00:11:54.379
 as I often used to as a child,

00:11:54.379 --> 00:11:57.620
 in a celestial city somewhere with God the Father,

00:11:58.519 --> 00:11:59.980
 and that right now he's undertaking

00:11:59.980 --> 00:12:01.720
 a massive construction project,

00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:05.860
 building the new Jerusalem with his own two hands

00:12:05.860 --> 00:12:08.960
 or perhaps renovating or adding rooms

00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:10.200
 onto the Father's house

00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:12.200
 and ensuring that each room is furnished

00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:15.220
 and ready to receive us for when he comes back for us.

00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:19.399
 Is that the picture that Jesus has in mind?

00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:23.700
 Or if we take these words a little more metaphorically,

00:12:23.700 --> 00:12:27.740
 is it that the Father's house already has room enough for all of us?

00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:30.940
 That there are already many seats around the Father's table,

00:12:31.020 --> 00:12:32.100
 enough for all of us?

00:12:32.420 --> 00:12:35.379
 But is it that those seats, those rooms,

00:12:36.220 --> 00:12:37.740
 cannot belong to us

00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:42.860
 until Jesus does some very important preparatory work

00:12:42.860 --> 00:12:44.160
 on our behalf?

00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:49.100
 I would suggest to you that without Jesus going to the cross

00:12:49.100 --> 00:12:51.779
 and dying for us

00:12:51.779 --> 00:12:54.379
 and then ascending into heaven

00:12:54.379 --> 00:12:57.879
 and doing the work of a high priest for us,

00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:00.980
 there can be no place for us

00:13:00.980 --> 00:13:02.579
 at the Father's table.

00:13:03.339 --> 00:13:06.120
 There can be no place for us in the Father's house.

00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:09.600
 Is that what Jesus means when he says,

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:11.740
 I'm going to prepare a place for you

00:13:11.740 --> 00:13:13.480
 in my Father's house?

00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:18.320
 So that's the second reason

00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:20.799
 why people come to different ideas about heaven

00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:22.100
 based on this passage.

00:13:22.539 --> 00:13:24.139
 Some take a more material view,

00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:27.299
 a more tangible view of what Jesus is talking about

00:13:27.299 --> 00:13:28.940
 and others a more metaphorical view.

00:13:28.940 --> 00:13:31.960
 A third reason

00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.700
 that we often come to differing ideas of heaven

00:13:35.700 --> 00:13:37.080
 from passages like these

00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:37.920
 has to do with

00:13:37.920 --> 00:13:40.500
 what we've come to understand about heaven

00:13:40.500 --> 00:13:42.820
 from all the other passages in the Bible

00:13:42.820 --> 00:13:44.180
 that speak of it.

00:13:44.660 --> 00:13:47.000
 And there are a good number of passages in the Bible

00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:48.620
 that speak of heaven.

00:13:49.820 --> 00:13:51.200
 And we really, in one sense,

00:13:51.280 --> 00:13:52.540
 need to, as best we can,

00:13:52.620 --> 00:13:54.840
 try to consider all of them at the same time

00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:56.840
 and see how they fit together.

00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:00.660
 It's kind of like building a puzzle.

00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:03.320
 And if you've ever worked on a puzzle

00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:04.980
 with somebody else,

00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:07.700
 you soon find out that some people

00:14:07.700 --> 00:14:11.100
 build puzzles differently than you do.

00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:15.340
 Some of us like to start with the corner pieces

00:14:15.340 --> 00:14:17.379
 and then the edge pieces.

00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:19.899
 And then we work our way from the edge

00:14:19.899 --> 00:14:22.740
 along the discernible features,

00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:25.240
 the things that really stand out towards the middle.

00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:28.019
 And we kind of leave those fuzzy looking things

00:14:28.019 --> 00:14:30.240
 like the grass and the sky for last.

00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:34.960
 Other people are wired totally different.

00:14:36.100 --> 00:14:38.680
 They like to look at the shape of the pieces

00:14:38.680 --> 00:14:41.080
 and just find any random piece

00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:42.440
 and just start putting them together

00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:44.259
 and get these little islands of pieces

00:14:44.259 --> 00:14:46.440
 and start moving them around

00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:47.259
 and fitting them together

00:14:47.259 --> 00:14:49.060
 and working their way towards the edge.

00:14:49.059 --> 00:14:52.699
 It's kind of the same thing

00:14:52.699 --> 00:14:53.839
 when it comes to the passages

00:14:53.839 --> 00:14:54.939
 that speak of heaven

00:14:54.939 --> 00:14:57.399
 and last things in the Bible.

00:14:58.599 --> 00:15:00.899
 Which passages that you've heard first

00:15:00.899 --> 00:15:04.000
 or which passages that you have thought about

00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:04.599
 more deeply

00:15:04.599 --> 00:15:07.059
 kind of affect how you fit the rest of them together.

00:15:08.299 --> 00:15:10.079
 And this too accounts for differences

00:15:10.079 --> 00:15:11.319
 among us

00:15:11.319 --> 00:15:13.279
 in our ideas of heaven.

00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:15.620
 An example of this

00:15:15.620 --> 00:15:17.579
 is the very meaning of the word heaven.

00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.519
 If we go back to the very beginning of the Bibles

00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:22.199
 that we have

00:15:22.199 --> 00:15:24.279
 it says that God created the heavens

00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:25.720
 and the earth.

00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:29.339
 Does that mean that there are multiple heavens?

00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:30.659
 Heavens plural?

00:15:32.079 --> 00:15:33.659
 Most of us will quickly acknowledge

00:15:33.659 --> 00:15:34.980
 that the word heavens

00:15:34.980 --> 00:15:36.379
 can refer to the sky.

00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:37.539
 It can refer to space.

00:15:37.659 --> 00:15:39.019
 The place where the galaxies are.

00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:39.579
 The stars.

00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:40.159
 The planets.

00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:44.779
 And so already we've got our work cut out for us

00:15:44.779 --> 00:15:45.919
 in building this puzzle

00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:47.319
 because we have to sort out

00:15:47.319 --> 00:15:48.199
 whether the word heaven

00:15:48.199 --> 00:15:49.799
 is being used to refer to

00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:52.980
 planets, galaxies, space kind of heavens

00:15:52.980 --> 00:15:54.539
 or is it being used to refer to

00:15:54.539 --> 00:15:55.899
 like the spiritual realm

00:15:55.899 --> 00:15:58.639
 or the place where God dwells

00:15:58.639 --> 00:15:59.639
 beyond all that.

00:16:01.659 --> 00:16:02.659
 And then eventually

00:16:02.659 --> 00:16:04.339
 we come to the teachings of Jesus

00:16:04.339 --> 00:16:05.980
 and he often referred to

00:16:05.980 --> 00:16:07.399
 the kingdom of heaven

00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:09.319
 and how it has come near.

00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:11.879
 Well what's the kingdom of heaven?

00:16:12.959 --> 00:16:14.600
 Is it a celestial kingdom?

00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:17.959
 Is it the kingdom of the spiritual realm?

00:16:19.100 --> 00:16:20.779
 Is it a kingdom that has borders

00:16:20.779 --> 00:16:22.819
 and boundaries somewhere up there?

00:16:24.059 --> 00:16:25.299
 Is it a destination?

00:16:26.899 --> 00:16:28.259
 Or does the kingdom of heaven

00:16:28.259 --> 00:16:29.639
 have more to do with its origin

00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:30.980
 where it comes from

00:16:30.980 --> 00:16:32.839
 than its final location?

00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:36.060
 We might come to

00:16:36.060 --> 00:16:37.420
 a familiar passage

00:16:37.420 --> 00:16:38.180
 such as

00:16:38.180 --> 00:16:39.660
 Philippians chapter 3

00:16:39.660 --> 00:16:41.379
 verse 20 to 21.

00:16:42.340 --> 00:16:43.560
 Paul's writing to the church

00:16:43.560 --> 00:16:44.200
 at Philippi.

00:16:44.340 --> 00:16:44.759
 He says

00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:46.500
 but our citizenship

00:16:46.500 --> 00:16:47.800
 is in heaven

00:16:47.800 --> 00:16:50.600
 and we eagerly await a savior

00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:51.519
 from there

00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:53.100
 the Lord Jesus Christ

00:16:53.100 --> 00:16:54.740
 who by the power

00:16:54.740 --> 00:16:55.540
 that enables him

00:16:55.540 --> 00:16:56.500
 to bring everything

00:16:56.500 --> 00:16:57.639
 under his control

00:16:57.639 --> 00:16:58.960
 will transform

00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:00.680
 our lowly bodies

00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:01.719
 so that they will be like

00:17:01.719 --> 00:17:03.579
 his glorious body.

00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:06.240
 If this was the first

00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:07.159
 or the only passage

00:17:07.159 --> 00:17:08.220
 we read about heaven

00:17:08.220 --> 00:17:09.960
 we might assume

00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:11.720
 that heaven is a place

00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:13.440
 that is somewhere up there

00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:14.539
 to which we belong

00:17:14.539 --> 00:17:16.079
 if we have Jesus.

00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:18.079
 A place from which

00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:18.919
 he will come back

00:17:18.919 --> 00:17:20.619
 and then take us

00:17:20.619 --> 00:17:22.399
 to be with him

00:17:22.399 --> 00:17:24.659
 where we will live forever

00:17:24.659 --> 00:17:25.240
 with God

00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:25.960
 as citizens.

00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:29.100
 But then we also have to consider

00:17:29.100 --> 00:17:30.279
 how the Bible ends.

00:17:31.220 --> 00:17:32.220
 It ends with this

00:17:32.220 --> 00:17:33.460
 spectacular vision

00:17:33.460 --> 00:17:34.680
 given to John

00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:36.340
 about what will happen

00:17:36.340 --> 00:17:37.480
 in the distant future.

00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:39.920
 There

00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:41.079
 John describes

00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:41.759
 what he sees

00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:42.380
 in this vision

00:17:42.380 --> 00:17:43.920
 Revelation chapter 21

00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:45.759
 verses 1 to 3

00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:46.299
 he says

00:17:46.299 --> 00:17:46.980
 then I saw

00:17:46.980 --> 00:17:47.840
 a new heaven

00:17:47.840 --> 00:17:49.380
 and a new earth

00:17:49.380 --> 00:17:51.559
 for the first heaven

00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:52.299
 and the first earth

00:17:52.299 --> 00:17:53.120
 had passed away

00:17:53.120 --> 00:17:54.680
 and there was no longer

00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:55.259
 any sea.

00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:57.620
 I saw the holy city

00:17:57.620 --> 00:17:58.640
 the new Jerusalem

00:17:58.640 --> 00:17:59.980
 coming down

00:17:59.980 --> 00:18:01.640
 out of heaven

00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:02.579
 from God

00:18:02.579 --> 00:18:04.160
 prepared as a bride

00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:05.299
 beautifully dressed

00:18:05.299 --> 00:18:06.759
 for her husband

00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:09.420
 and I heard a loud voice

00:18:09.420 --> 00:18:10.039
 from the throne

00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:10.559
 saying

00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:11.559
 look

00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:13.440
 God's dwelling place

00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:14.000
 is now

00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:14.960
 among the people

00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:17.000
 and he will dwell

00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:17.579
 with them

00:18:17.579 --> 00:18:19.840
 they will be his people

00:18:19.840 --> 00:18:21.559
 and God himself

00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:22.279
 will be with them

00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:23.160
 and be their God.

00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:26.360
 if this was the first

00:18:26.360 --> 00:18:27.300
 or the only passage

00:18:27.300 --> 00:18:27.920
 that you read

00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:28.519
 about heaven

00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:30.120
 you might conclude

00:18:30.120 --> 00:18:31.000
 that heaven

00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:31.900
 is not so much

00:18:31.900 --> 00:18:33.460
 a geospatial location

00:18:33.460 --> 00:18:34.900
 as it is the place

00:18:34.900 --> 00:18:35.840
 where God is

00:18:35.840 --> 00:18:37.580
 the place where he dwells

00:18:37.580 --> 00:18:39.259
 we might conclude

00:18:39.259 --> 00:18:39.700
 that our

00:18:39.700 --> 00:18:40.880
 final destination

00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:41.720
 will not be

00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:42.860
 in some celestial

00:18:42.860 --> 00:18:43.920
 city

00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:45.040
 way up in the galaxies

00:18:45.040 --> 00:18:46.700
 but instead

00:18:46.700 --> 00:18:47.880
 perhaps

00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:48.759
 that our final

00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:49.440
 dwelling place

00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:50.380
 will be in this

00:18:50.380 --> 00:18:51.660
 city that comes

00:18:51.660 --> 00:18:53.360
 down from heaven

00:18:53.360 --> 00:18:54.740
 to the new earth

00:18:54.740 --> 00:18:57.280
 God coming down

00:18:57.280 --> 00:18:57.860
 to live

00:18:57.860 --> 00:18:58.780
 with us

00:18:58.780 --> 00:19:00.280
 among us

00:19:00.280 --> 00:19:01.060
 on the new earth

00:19:01.060 --> 00:19:04.040
 already you can see

00:19:04.040 --> 00:19:04.600
 why Christians

00:19:04.600 --> 00:19:05.540
 have come to all kinds

00:19:05.540 --> 00:19:06.960
 of differing ideas

00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:07.760
 about heaven

00:19:07.760 --> 00:19:09.780
 perhaps in some ways

00:19:09.780 --> 00:19:10.500
 we've been a little bit

00:19:10.500 --> 00:19:11.280
 too influenced

00:19:11.280 --> 00:19:12.940
 by that sort of

00:19:12.940 --> 00:19:14.160
 Christian pop culture

00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:15.880
 that perpetuates itself

00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:16.880
 in every generation

00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:18.960
 but perhaps

00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:19.520
 in other ways

00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:20.160
 we're all just trying

00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:20.819
 to fit the pieces

00:19:20.819 --> 00:19:21.379
 of the puzzle

00:19:21.379 --> 00:19:21.879
 together

00:19:21.879 --> 00:19:23.240
 a little differently

00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:25.099
 trying to make sense

00:19:25.099 --> 00:19:25.980
 of the various things

00:19:25.980 --> 00:19:26.539
 that we read

00:19:26.539 --> 00:19:27.059
 in the Bible

00:19:27.059 --> 00:19:28.519
 about heaven

00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:30.920
 and then we come

00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:31.460
 to a passage

00:19:31.460 --> 00:19:32.079
 like this

00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:33.039
 in John 14

00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:34.079
 verse 3

00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:36.980
 it seems like

00:19:36.980 --> 00:19:37.859
 Jesus is basically

00:19:37.859 --> 00:19:38.720
 saying here

00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:40.180
 I'm going somewhere

00:19:40.180 --> 00:19:41.559
 to prepare a place

00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:41.940
 for you

00:19:41.940 --> 00:19:42.379
 and then I'm going

00:19:42.379 --> 00:19:42.819
 to come back

00:19:42.819 --> 00:19:43.279
 and get you

00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:43.660
 and then I'm going

00:19:43.660 --> 00:19:44.240
 to take you

00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:45.119
 to be there

00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:46.319
 with me

00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:49.480
 very naturally

00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:50.220
 very easily

00:19:50.220 --> 00:19:51.599
 we might assume

00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:53.179
 from this passage

00:19:53.179 --> 00:19:54.279
 that heaven

00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:55.379
 is a place

00:19:55.379 --> 00:19:56.059
 way up there

00:19:56.059 --> 00:19:56.720
 and that's

00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:58.059
 what Jesus

00:19:58.059 --> 00:19:58.779
 is getting ready

00:19:58.779 --> 00:19:59.200
 for us

00:19:59.200 --> 00:19:59.579
 he's going to

00:19:59.579 --> 00:20:00.240
 come and get us

00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:00.619
 he's going to

00:20:00.619 --> 00:20:01.419
 take us back there

00:20:01.419 --> 00:20:02.399
 and we'll be up there

00:20:02.399 --> 00:20:02.899
 somewhere

00:20:02.899 --> 00:20:03.779
 forever

00:20:03.779 --> 00:20:04.759
 with God

00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:05.399
 and with Jesus

00:20:05.399 --> 00:20:07.359
 after he returns

00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:10.539
 but then we probably

00:20:10.539 --> 00:20:11.399
 should consider

00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:14.019
 what will this new earth

00:20:14.019 --> 00:20:15.500
 that God's making

00:20:15.500 --> 00:20:16.340
 at the end

00:20:16.340 --> 00:20:17.340
 before

00:20:17.340 --> 00:20:19.500
 is it just something

00:20:19.500 --> 00:20:20.420
 for us to admire

00:20:20.420 --> 00:20:22.000
 from up in heaven

00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:22.940
 as we kind of

00:20:22.940 --> 00:20:23.860
 look down at it

00:20:23.860 --> 00:20:27.340
 or

00:20:27.340 --> 00:20:28.660
 will this new earth

00:20:28.660 --> 00:20:29.920
 be our final home

00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:32.140
 is that what's meant

00:20:32.140 --> 00:20:33.620
 by this new Jerusalem

00:20:33.620 --> 00:20:35.340
 the city where God dwells

00:20:35.340 --> 00:20:36.400
 coming down

00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:37.140
 from heaven

00:20:37.140 --> 00:20:38.500
 to this new earth

00:20:38.500 --> 00:20:39.540
 so that now

00:20:39.540 --> 00:20:40.640
 the dwelling of God

00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:41.740
 is with man

00:20:41.740 --> 00:20:43.780
 with his people

00:20:43.780 --> 00:20:46.680
 again we should pause

00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:47.320
 and consider

00:20:47.320 --> 00:20:48.780
 two possibilities

00:20:48.780 --> 00:20:50.900
 one is the more

00:20:50.900 --> 00:20:51.600
 tangible

00:20:51.600 --> 00:20:54.020
 that Jesus is promising

00:20:54.020 --> 00:20:55.280
 to make heaven

00:20:55.280 --> 00:20:56.540
 ready for us

00:20:56.540 --> 00:20:57.920
 and then come back

00:20:57.920 --> 00:20:58.980
 and take us to be there

00:20:58.980 --> 00:20:59.440
 in heaven

00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:00.460
 and live with him

00:21:00.460 --> 00:21:01.120
 forever there

00:21:01.120 --> 00:21:02.640
 the other

00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:04.460
 more metaphorical

00:21:04.460 --> 00:21:06.560
 that Jesus aim

00:21:06.560 --> 00:21:07.240
 and goal

00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:08.660
 is to get us

00:21:08.660 --> 00:21:09.220
 into

00:21:09.220 --> 00:21:10.700
 the father's house

00:21:10.700 --> 00:21:11.860
 the place

00:21:11.860 --> 00:21:12.700
 where he dwells

00:21:12.700 --> 00:21:13.299
 so that we are

00:21:13.299 --> 00:21:14.319
 part of the family

00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:15.600
 so that we are

00:21:15.600 --> 00:21:16.620
 close

00:21:16.620 --> 00:21:20.140
 perhaps that this is

00:21:20.140 --> 00:21:21.000
 not so much about

00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:22.519
 going to a geospatial

00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:23.120
 place

00:21:23.120 --> 00:21:24.519
 but about being

00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:25.480
 received into a

00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:26.220
 close intimate

00:21:26.220 --> 00:21:27.299
 relationship with the

00:21:27.299 --> 00:21:27.960
 father where we

00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:29.059
 live with him

00:21:29.059 --> 00:21:31.440
 and he with us

00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:32.019
 never to be

00:21:32.019 --> 00:21:32.900
 separated again

00:21:32.900 --> 00:21:35.220
 it's probably obvious

00:21:35.220 --> 00:21:35.660
 to you all

00:21:35.660 --> 00:21:36.559
 which view I take

00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:38.059
 but here are a

00:21:38.059 --> 00:21:38.679
 couple details

00:21:38.679 --> 00:21:39.179
 in Jesus'

00:21:39.339 --> 00:21:39.960
 own words

00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:41.440
 in this passage

00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:42.659
 that lead me

00:21:42.659 --> 00:21:43.200
 that way

00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:44.659
 notice

00:21:44.659 --> 00:21:45.519
 the language

00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:46.339
 of Jesus

00:21:46.339 --> 00:21:48.539
 we're going to do

00:21:48.539 --> 00:21:49.139
 a little fill in

00:21:49.139 --> 00:21:49.879
 the blank here

00:21:49.879 --> 00:21:51.579
 and if I go

00:21:51.579 --> 00:21:52.419
 and prepare a place

00:21:52.419 --> 00:21:52.799
 for you

00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:54.200
 I will come back

00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:55.019
 and take you

00:21:55.019 --> 00:21:55.399
 to

00:21:55.399 --> 00:21:57.279
 what do we want

00:21:57.279 --> 00:21:57.759
 to put in that

00:21:57.759 --> 00:21:58.159
 blank

00:21:58.159 --> 00:21:59.859
 heaven

00:21:59.859 --> 00:22:02.480
 that place

00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:05.140
 what does

00:22:05.140 --> 00:22:05.799
 Jesus say

00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:08.259
 to be

00:22:08.259 --> 00:22:09.140
 with me

00:22:09.140 --> 00:22:11.099
 to be

00:22:11.099 --> 00:22:11.819
 with me

00:22:11.819 --> 00:22:14.160
 he finishes

00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:14.839
 the sentence

00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:15.620
 in terms of

00:22:15.620 --> 00:22:16.279
 relationship

00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:17.220
 more important

00:22:17.220 --> 00:22:18.120
 than the location

00:22:18.120 --> 00:22:19.299
 is the relationship

00:22:19.299 --> 00:22:20.700
 that Jesus

00:22:20.700 --> 00:22:21.480
 is coming back

00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:22.059
 to have with

00:22:22.059 --> 00:22:22.220
 them

00:22:22.220 --> 00:22:22.880
 that's the big

00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:23.380
 goal here

00:22:23.380 --> 00:22:23.920
 for Jesus

00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:25.079
 it's not just

00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:25.620
 to get you

00:22:25.620 --> 00:22:26.460
 to a place

00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:27.680
 it's to get you

00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:28.680
 to be with

00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:28.980
 him

00:22:28.980 --> 00:22:30.900
 I'm going to

00:22:30.900 --> 00:22:31.319
 take you

00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:31.899
 to be

00:22:31.899 --> 00:22:32.539
 with me

00:22:32.539 --> 00:22:36.399
 and what

00:22:36.399 --> 00:22:37.099
 surprises me

00:22:37.099 --> 00:22:37.500
 every time

00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:38.099
 I read this

00:22:38.099 --> 00:22:38.379
 is that

00:22:38.379 --> 00:22:38.639
 Jesus

00:22:38.639 --> 00:22:39.519
 doesn't stop

00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:39.720
 there

00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:40.299
 he goes on

00:22:40.299 --> 00:22:40.579
 to say

00:22:40.579 --> 00:22:40.980
 essentially

00:22:40.980 --> 00:22:41.460
 the same

00:22:41.460 --> 00:22:42.079
 thing again

00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:42.980
 let's read

00:22:42.980 --> 00:22:43.299
 the rest

00:22:43.299 --> 00:22:43.799
 of the verse

00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:44.179
 he says

00:22:44.179 --> 00:22:44.659
 I will come

00:22:44.659 --> 00:22:44.960
 back

00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:45.379
 and take

00:22:45.379 --> 00:22:45.519
 you

00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:45.879
 to be

00:22:45.879 --> 00:22:46.500
 with me

00:22:46.500 --> 00:22:47.899
 that you

00:22:47.899 --> 00:22:48.279
 also

00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:48.939
 may be

00:22:48.939 --> 00:22:51.059
 what goes

00:22:51.059 --> 00:22:51.299
 in the

00:22:51.299 --> 00:22:51.720
 blank

00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:53.799
 heaven

00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:54.679
 in heaven

00:22:54.679 --> 00:22:55.519
 in that

00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:56.119
 place

00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:58.059
 no

00:22:58.059 --> 00:23:01.039
 that you

00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:01.299
 also

00:23:01.299 --> 00:23:01.819
 may be

00:23:01.819 --> 00:23:02.119
 where

00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:02.539
 I

00:23:02.539 --> 00:23:03.059
 am

00:23:03.059 --> 00:23:07.099
 it's

00:23:07.099 --> 00:23:07.359
 not

00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:07.659
 about

00:23:07.659 --> 00:23:08.399
 location

00:23:08.399 --> 00:23:09.099
 location

00:23:09.099 --> 00:23:09.759
 location

00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:11.599
 it's

00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:11.879
 about

00:23:11.879 --> 00:23:12.740
 whose

00:23:12.740 --> 00:23:13.460
 presence

00:23:13.460 --> 00:23:15.240
 we're

00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:15.460
 in

00:23:15.460 --> 00:23:15.740
 it's

00:23:15.740 --> 00:23:15.940
 about

00:23:15.940 --> 00:23:16.740
 relationship

00:23:16.740 --> 00:23:17.799
 with

00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:18.839
 Jesus

00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:19.779
 relationship

00:23:19.779 --> 00:23:20.480
 with

00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:20.759
 the

00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:21.159
 father

00:23:21.159 --> 00:23:23.119
 that's

00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:23.240
 what

00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:23.619
 makes

00:23:23.619 --> 00:23:23.960
 wherever

00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:24.319
 he's

00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:24.539
 going to

00:23:24.539 --> 00:23:24.839
 take

00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:25.019
 us

00:23:25.019 --> 00:23:25.319
 worth

00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:25.720
 being

00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:26.059
 there

00:23:26.059 --> 00:23:27.740
 it's

00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:27.879
 that

00:23:27.879 --> 00:23:28.200
 he's

00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:28.460
 there

00:23:28.460 --> 00:23:30.100
 not

00:23:30.100 --> 00:23:30.240
 that

00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:30.380
 we'll

00:23:30.380 --> 00:23:30.519
 all

00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:30.779
 have

00:23:30.779 --> 00:23:31.519
 mansions

00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:32.680
 or

00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:32.860
 all

00:23:32.860 --> 00:23:33.019
 the

00:23:33.019 --> 00:23:33.279
 stuff

00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:33.420
 of

00:23:33.420 --> 00:23:33.640
 earth

00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:33.779
 that

00:23:33.779 --> 00:23:33.880
 we

00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:34.039
 could

00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:34.380
 never

00:23:34.380 --> 00:23:34.920
 attain

00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:35.480
 here

00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:36.160
 I

00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:36.279
 mean

00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:36.400
 if

00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:36.720
 that's

00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:36.920
 really

00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:37.120
 what

00:23:37.120 --> 00:23:37.279
 we're

00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:37.440
 in

00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:37.640
 for

00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:37.759
 I

00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:37.880
 mean

00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:38.319
 that's

00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:39.120
 idolatry

00:23:39.120 --> 00:23:40.279
 that's

00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:40.840
 greed

00:23:40.840 --> 00:23:43.160
 the

00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:43.460
 treasure

00:23:43.460 --> 00:23:43.680
 of

00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:43.960
 heaven

00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:44.160
 is

00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:44.380
 not

00:23:44.380 --> 00:23:44.819
 having

00:23:44.819 --> 00:23:45.140
 all

00:23:45.140 --> 00:23:45.519
 kinds

00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:45.700
 of

00:23:45.700 --> 00:23:46.200
 created

00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:46.779
 things

00:23:46.779 --> 00:23:47.039
 to

00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:47.400
 worship

00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:48.279
 and

00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:48.740
 love

00:23:48.740 --> 00:23:49.660
 more

00:23:49.660 --> 00:23:49.840
 than

00:23:49.840 --> 00:23:50.299
 God

00:23:50.299 --> 00:23:50.880
 when

00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:51.059
 we

00:23:51.059 --> 00:23:51.299
 get

00:23:51.299 --> 00:23:51.600
 there

00:23:51.600 --> 00:23:53.160
 the

00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:53.480
 treasure

00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:53.700
 of

00:23:53.700 --> 00:23:54.000
 heaven

00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:54.660
 is

00:23:54.660 --> 00:23:54.920
 having

00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:55.140
 the

00:23:55.140 --> 00:23:55.480
 creator

00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:56.039
 himself

00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:58.559
 it's

00:23:58.559 --> 00:23:58.980
 being

00:23:58.980 --> 00:23:59.819
 with

00:23:59.819 --> 00:24:00.079
 him

00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:02.539
 it's

00:24:02.539 --> 00:24:02.799
 being

00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:02.960
 in

00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:03.139
 that

00:24:03.139 --> 00:24:03.680
 place

00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:03.940
 where

00:24:03.940 --> 00:24:04.339
 he

00:24:04.339 --> 00:24:04.980
 is

00:24:04.980 --> 00:24:06.700
 nothing

00:24:06.700 --> 00:24:07.000
 to

00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:07.399
 separate

00:24:07.399 --> 00:24:07.859
 us

00:24:07.859 --> 00:24:08.440
 from

00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:08.759
 him

00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:11.319
 think

00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:11.559
 about

00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:11.879
 this

00:24:11.879 --> 00:24:12.159
 the way

00:24:12.159 --> 00:24:12.319
 the

00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:12.740
 disciples

00:24:12.740 --> 00:24:13.319
 are

00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:13.700
 probably

00:24:13.700 --> 00:24:14.079
 thinking

00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:14.399
 about

00:24:14.399 --> 00:24:14.799
 this

00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:15.960
 they

00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:16.180
 hear

00:24:16.180 --> 00:24:16.559
 Jesus

00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:17.000
 say

00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:17.279
 the

00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:17.759
 house

00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:18.119
 of

00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:18.319
 my

00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:18.779
 father

00:24:18.779 --> 00:24:20.019
 where

00:24:20.019 --> 00:24:20.279
 is

00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:20.480
 the

00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:20.759
 house

00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:20.940
 of

00:24:20.940 --> 00:24:21.319
 God

00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:23.220
 well

00:24:23.220 --> 00:24:23.500
 back

00:24:23.500 --> 00:24:23.639
 in

00:24:23.639 --> 00:24:23.899
 those

00:24:23.899 --> 00:24:24.159
 days

00:24:24.159 --> 00:24:24.339
 it

00:24:24.339 --> 00:24:24.500
 was

00:24:24.500 --> 00:24:24.680
 the

00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:25.039
 temple

00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:26.379
 that

00:24:26.379 --> 00:24:26.559
 was

00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:26.740
 the

00:24:26.740 --> 00:24:27.039
 place

00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:27.220
 where

00:24:27.220 --> 00:24:27.480
 God

00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:27.799
 lived

00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:28.039
 among

00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:28.259
 his

00:24:28.259 --> 00:24:28.659
 people

00:24:28.659 --> 00:24:30.059
 in

00:24:30.059 --> 00:24:30.339
 earlier

00:24:30.339 --> 00:24:30.720
 times

00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:30.879
 it

00:24:30.879 --> 00:24:31.019
 was

00:24:31.019 --> 00:24:31.200
 the

00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:31.859
 tabernacle

00:24:31.859 --> 00:24:33.379
 God

00:24:33.379 --> 00:24:33.599
 would

00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:33.920
 cause

00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:34.139
 his

00:24:34.139 --> 00:24:34.420
 own

00:24:34.420 --> 00:24:34.899
 presence

00:24:34.899 --> 00:24:35.879
 to

00:24:35.879 --> 00:24:37.099
 appear

00:24:37.099 --> 00:24:37.659
 right

00:24:37.659 --> 00:24:37.920
 there

00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:38.059
 in

00:24:38.059 --> 00:24:38.159
 the

00:24:38.159 --> 00:24:38.379
 most

00:24:38.379 --> 00:24:38.740
 holy

00:24:38.740 --> 00:24:39.339
 place

00:24:39.339 --> 00:24:40.399
 of

00:24:40.399 --> 00:24:40.539
 the

00:24:40.539 --> 00:24:40.879
 temple

00:24:40.879 --> 00:24:42.839
 and

00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:43.159
 everything

00:24:43.159 --> 00:24:43.539
 about

00:24:43.539 --> 00:24:43.980
 the

00:24:43.980 --> 00:24:44.319

00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:44.619
 and

00:24:44.619 --> 00:24:44.799
 the

00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:45.480
 tabernacle

00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:46.180
 was

00:24:46.180 --> 00:24:46.339
 a

00:24:46.339 --> 00:24:46.740
 reminder

00:24:46.740 --> 00:24:47.019
 that

00:24:47.019 --> 00:24:47.220
 we

00:24:47.220 --> 00:24:47.700
 cannot

00:24:47.700 --> 00:24:48.299
 come

00:24:48.299 --> 00:24:49.139
 close

00:24:49.139 --> 00:24:50.299
 to

00:24:50.299 --> 00:24:50.700
 God

00:24:50.700 --> 00:24:51.539
 as

00:24:51.539 --> 00:24:51.879
 sinful

00:24:51.879 --> 00:24:52.259
 human

00:24:52.259 --> 00:24:52.740
 beings

00:24:52.740 --> 00:24:54.579
 but

00:24:54.579 --> 00:24:54.759
 now

00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:55.099
 Jesus

00:24:55.099 --> 00:24:55.359
 is

00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:55.660
 saying

00:24:55.660 --> 00:24:56.019
 I'm

00:24:56.019 --> 00:24:56.120
 going

00:24:56.120 --> 00:24:56.279

00:24:56.279 --> 00:24:56.839
 go

00:24:56.839 --> 00:24:57.259
 away

00:25:05.319 --> 00:25:05.720
 father

00:26:16.320 --> 00:26:16.440
 me

00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:16.680
 this

00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:16.980
 way

00:26:24.019 --> 00:26:24.559
 with a

00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:24.839
 twinkle

00:26:24.839 --> 00:26:25.119
 in his

 says

 you

00:26:27.059 --> 00:26:27.439
 know

00:26:27.439 --> 00:26:27.659
 the

00:26:27.659 --> 00:26:28.000
 way

00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:28.559
 to

00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:28.679
 the

00:26:28.679 --> 00:26:28.959
 place

00:26:28.959 --> 00:26:29.119
 where

00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:29.279
 I'm

00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:29.599
 going

00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:32.559
 Thomas

00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:32.839
 said

00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:33.019
 to

 him

00:26:33.179 --> 00:26:34.419
 Lord

00:26:34.419 --> 00:26:34.679
 we

00:26:34.679 --> 00:26:34.959
 don't

00:26:34.959 --> 00:26:35.159
 know

00:26:35.159 --> 00:26:35.439
 where

00:26:35.439 --> 00:26:35.619
 you

00:26:35.619 --> 00:26:35.759
 are

00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:36.099
 going

00:26:36.099 --> 00:26:36.740
 so

00:26:36.740 --> 00:26:36.859
 how

00:26:36.859 --> 00:26:37.000
 can

00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:37.119
 we

00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:37.259
 know

00:26:37.259 --> 00:26:37.419
 the

00:26:37.419 --> 00:26:37.720
 way

00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:40.099
 Jesus

00:26:40.099 --> 00:26:40.599
 answered

00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:41.819
 I

00:26:41.819 --> 00:26:42.679
 am

00:26:42.679 --> 00:26:42.799
 the

00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:43.059
 way

00:26:43.059 --> 00:26:45.539
 no

00:26:45.539 --> 00:26:45.759
 one

00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:46.199
 comes

00:26:46.199 --> 00:26:46.679
 to

00:26:46.679 --> 00:26:47.299
 the

00:26:47.299 --> 00:26:47.679

00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:49.519
 except

00:26:49.940 --> 00:26:50.519
 me

00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:54.000
 these

00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:54.259
 words

00:26:54.259 --> 00:26:54.560
 probably

00:26:54.560 --> 00:26:54.900
 deserve

00:26:54.900 --> 00:26:55.259
 a whole

00:26:55.259 --> 00:26:55.640
 sermon

00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:56.900
 but let's

00:26:56.900 --> 00:26:57.279
 stay on

00:26:57.279 --> 00:26:57.580
 target

00:26:57.580 --> 00:26:57.960
 for this

00:26:57.960 --> 00:26:58.340
 morning

00:26:58.340 --> 00:27:04.340
 the

00:27:04.340 --> 00:27:04.840
 way

00:27:04.840 --> 00:27:05.539
 to the

00:27:05.539 --> 00:27:05.880
 place

00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:06.100
 where

00:27:06.100 --> 00:27:06.420
 Jesus

00:27:06.420 --> 00:27:06.680
 is

00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:07.019
 going

00:27:07.019 --> 00:27:07.640
 it's

00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:07.820
 not

00:27:07.820 --> 00:27:08.100
 a set

00:27:08.100 --> 00:27:08.220
 of

00:27:08.220 --> 00:27:08.539
 travel

00:27:08.539 --> 00:27:09.060
 directions

00:27:09.060 --> 00:27:10.220
 it's

00:27:10.220 --> 00:27:10.420
 not

00:27:10.420 --> 00:27:10.779
 a set

00:27:10.779 --> 00:27:11.039
 of

00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:12.220
 coordinates

00:27:12.220 --> 00:27:13.539
 in

00:27:13.539 --> 00:27:13.860
 relation

00:27:13.860 --> 00:27:14.039
 to

00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:14.220
 this

00:27:14.220 --> 00:27:14.799
 universe

00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:17.139
 it's

00:27:17.139 --> 00:27:17.379
 not

00:27:17.379 --> 00:27:18.099
 about

00:27:18.099 --> 00:27:18.659
 travel

00:27:18.659 --> 00:27:18.899
 or

00:27:18.899 --> 00:27:19.359
 dimension

00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:20.339
 it's

00:27:20.339 --> 00:27:20.579
 here

00:27:20.579 --> 00:27:20.819
 that

00:27:20.819 --> 00:27:21.079
 Jesus

00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:21.399
 seems

00:27:21.399 --> 00:27:21.700
 most

00:27:21.700 --> 00:27:22.180
 obviously

00:27:22.180 --> 00:27:22.500
 to be

00:27:22.500 --> 00:27:22.859
 speaking

00:27:22.859 --> 00:27:23.079
 in

00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:23.399
 metaphor

00:27:23.399 --> 00:27:23.659
 he

00:27:23.659 --> 00:27:23.940
 says

00:27:23.940 --> 00:27:24.119
 the

 to

00:27:24.519 --> 00:27:24.659
 the

00:27:24.659 --> 00:27:25.019

 that

00:27:25.259 --> 00:27:25.440
 I

00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:25.579
 am

00:27:25.579 --> 00:27:25.940
 going

00:27:25.940 --> 00:27:26.339
 is

00:27:26.339 --> 00:27:26.599
 a

00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:27.059
 person

00:27:27.059 --> 00:27:28.059
 I'm

00:27:28.059 --> 00:27:28.460
 standing

00:27:28.460 --> 00:27:28.740
 right

00:27:29.940 --> 00:27:30.220
 way

00:27:30.220 --> 00:27:32.419
 again

00:27:32.419 --> 00:27:32.700
 it's

00:27:32.700 --> 00:27:32.940
 all

00:27:32.940 --> 00:27:33.180
 about

00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:39.099
 home

00:27:39.099 --> 00:27:39.279
 he

00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:39.559
 states

00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:39.700
 it

00:27:39.700 --> 00:27:39.839
 yet

00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:40.220
 another

00:27:40.220 --> 00:27:40.480
 way

00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:40.659

00:32:00.779 --> 00:32:02.019
 but

00:32:02.019 --> 00:32:02.139
 let

00:32:02.139 --> 00:32:02.240
 me

00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:02.659
 encourage

00:32:02.659 --> 00:32:02.919
 you

00:32:02.919 --> 00:32:04.359
 God

00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:04.539
 has

00:32:04.539 --> 00:32:04.740
 made

00:32:04.740 --> 00:32:04.959
 each

00:32:04.959 --> 00:32:05.139
 one

00:32:05.139 --> 00:32:05.279
 of

00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:05.419
 us

00:32:05.419 --> 00:32:05.839
 different

00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:06.740
 he

00:32:06.740 --> 00:32:06.939
 has

00:32:06.939 --> 00:32:07.259
 led

00:32:07.259 --> 00:32:07.740
 each

00:32:07.740 --> 00:32:07.939
 one

00:32:07.939 --> 00:32:08.059
 of

00:32:08.059 --> 00:32:08.259
 us

00:32:08.259 --> 00:32:08.439
 through

00:32:08.439 --> 00:32:08.579
 a

00:32:08.579 --> 00:32:08.939
 different

00:32:08.939 --> 00:32:10.119
 life

00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:10.639
 story

00:32:10.639 --> 00:32:10.959
 up

00:32:10.959 --> 00:32:11.179
 until

00:32:11.179 --> 00:32:11.399
 this

00:32:11.399 --> 00:32:11.659
 point

00:32:11.659 --> 00:32:11.799
 in

00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:11.939
 our

00:32:11.939 --> 00:32:12.399
 lives

00:32:12.399 --> 00:32:12.939
 and

00:32:12.939 --> 00:32:13.099
 so

00:32:13.099 --> 00:32:13.279
 it's

00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:13.659
 inevitable

00:32:13.659 --> 00:32:13.979
 that

00:32:13.979 --> 00:32:14.639
 sometimes

00:32:14.639 --> 00:32:15.159
 we

00:32:15.159 --> 00:32:15.299
 will

00:32:15.299 --> 00:32:15.479
 try

00:32:15.479 --> 00:32:15.619
 to

00:32:15.619 --> 00:32:15.759
 fit

00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:15.919
 the

00:32:15.919 --> 00:32:16.240
 pieces

00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:16.419
 of

00:32:16.419 --> 00:32:16.539
 the

00:32:16.539 --> 00:32:16.779
 puzzle

00:32:16.779 --> 00:32:17.259
 together

00:32:17.259 --> 00:32:18.359
 a

00:32:18.359 --> 00:32:18.479
 little

00:32:18.479 --> 00:32:18.899
 differently

00:32:18.899 --> 00:32:19.659
 than

00:32:19.659 --> 00:32:19.799
 one

00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:20.159
 another

00:32:20.159 --> 00:32:21.679
 some

00:32:21.679 --> 00:32:21.939
 things

00:32:21.939 --> 00:32:22.099
 are

00:32:22.099 --> 00:32:22.519
 crystal

00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:22.859
 clear

00:32:22.859 --> 00:32:23.000
 in

00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:23.099
 the

00:32:23.099 --> 00:32:23.439
 Bible

00:32:23.439 --> 00:32:24.379
 the

00:32:24.379 --> 00:32:24.619
 core

00:32:24.619 --> 00:32:25.159
 doctrines

00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:25.320
 of

00:32:25.320 --> 00:32:25.500
 our

00:32:25.500 --> 00:32:25.820
 faith

00:32:25.820 --> 00:32:26.000
 the

00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:26.220
 things

00:32:26.220 --> 00:32:26.380
 that

00:32:26.380 --> 00:32:26.600
 we

00:32:26.600 --> 00:32:27.300
 require

00:32:27.300 --> 00:32:27.560
 for

00:32:27.560 --> 00:32:27.920
 membership

00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:28.180
 in

00:32:28.180 --> 00:32:28.320
 the

00:32:28.320 --> 00:32:28.680
 church

00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:30.460
 other

00:32:30.460 --> 00:32:30.940
 things

00:32:30.940 --> 00:32:31.860
 are

00:32:31.860 --> 00:32:32.040
 more

00:32:32.040 --> 00:32:32.279
 like

00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:32.519
 the

00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:32.840
 puzzle

00:32:32.840 --> 00:32:34.060
 maybe

00:32:34.060 --> 00:32:34.300
 not

00:32:34.300 --> 00:32:34.500
 so

00:32:34.500 --> 00:32:34.860
 clear

00:32:34.860 --> 00:32:36.300
 what

00:32:36.300 --> 00:32:36.620
 heaven

00:32:36.620 --> 00:32:36.840
 will

00:32:36.840 --> 00:32:37.080
 be

00:32:37.080 --> 00:32:37.480
 like

00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:38.460
 and

00:32:38.460 --> 00:32:38.580
 the

00:32:38.580 --> 00:32:38.980
 precise

00:32:38.980 --> 00:32:39.420
 order

00:32:39.420 --> 00:32:39.620
 of

00:32:39.620 --> 00:32:39.820
 all

00:32:39.820 --> 00:32:40.080
 those

00:32:40.080 --> 00:32:40.460
 events

00:32:40.460 --> 00:32:40.680
 at

00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:40.820
 the

00:32:40.820 --> 00:32:41.160
 end

00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:41.920
 so

00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:42.100
 let

00:32:42.100 --> 00:32:42.200
 me

00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:42.580
 encourage

00:32:42.580 --> 00:32:42.720
 you

00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:42.840
 to

00:32:42.840 --> 00:32:42.980
 be

00:32:42.980 --> 00:32:43.340
 humble

00:32:43.340 --> 00:32:44.620
 to

00:32:44.620 --> 00:32:44.779
 be

00:32:44.779 --> 00:32:45.160
 gracious

00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:46.360
 to

00:32:46.360 --> 00:32:46.540
 be

00:32:46.540 --> 00:32:46.840
 kind

00:32:46.840 --> 00:32:47.000
 to

00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:47.140
 your

00:32:47.140 --> 00:32:47.400
 brothers

00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:47.640
 and

00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:47.920
 sisters

00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:48.240
 who

00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:48.700
 think

00:32:48.700 --> 00:32:49.180
 differently

00:32:49.180 --> 00:32:49.480
 than

00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:49.700
 you

00:32:49.700 --> 00:32:49.980
 do

00:32:49.980 --> 00:32:50.840
 about

00:32:50.840 --> 00:32:51.120
 these

00:32:51.120 --> 00:32:51.560
 things

00:32:51.560 --> 00:32:52.880
 let

00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:52.960
 me

00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:53.300
 encourage

00:32:53.300 --> 00:32:53.420
 you

00:32:53.420 --> 00:32:53.519
 to

00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:53.700
 really

00:32:55.160 --> 00:32:56.120
 think

00:32:56.120 --> 00:32:56.500
 about

00:32:56.500 --> 00:32:57.640
 what

00:32:57.640 --> 00:32:57.900
 they

00:32:57.900 --> 00:32:58.259
 say

00:32:58.259 --> 00:32:58.480
 and

00:32:58.480 --> 00:32:58.680
 what

00:32:58.680 --> 00:32:58.860
 they

00:32:58.860 --> 00:32:59.160
 see

00:32:59.160 --> 00:32:59.300
 in

00:32:59.300 --> 00:32:59.420
 the

00:32:59.420 --> 00:32:59.720
 Bible

00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:00.820
 I

00:33:00.820 --> 00:33:00.920
 don't

00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:01.019
 know

00:33:01.019 --> 00:33:01.120
 if

00:33:01.120 --> 00:33:01.240
 you've

00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:01.400
 ever

00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:01.640
 had

00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:01.800
 that

00:33:01.800 --> 00:33:02.300
 experience

00:33:02.300 --> 00:33:02.560
 I

00:33:02.560 --> 00:33:02.680
 know

00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:02.860
 I

00:33:02.860 --> 00:33:03.180
 have

00:33:03.180 --> 00:33:03.960
 where

00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:04.259
 you're

00:33:04.259 --> 00:33:04.600
 building

00:33:04.600 --> 00:33:04.800
 a

00:33:04.800 --> 00:33:05.100
 puzzle

00:33:05.100 --> 00:33:06.259
 and

00:33:06.259 --> 00:33:07.040
 you're

00:33:07.040 --> 00:33:07.340
 sure

00:33:07.340 --> 00:33:07.560
 that

00:33:07.560 --> 00:33:07.759
 these

00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:07.980
 two

00:33:07.980 --> 00:33:08.300
 pieces

00:33:08.300 --> 00:33:08.560
 fit

00:33:08.560 --> 00:33:08.900
 together

00:33:08.900 --> 00:33:09.180
 you've

00:33:09.180 --> 00:33:09.340
 got

00:33:09.340 --> 00:33:09.540
 them

00:33:09.540 --> 00:33:09.840
 sitting

00:33:09.840 --> 00:33:10.140
 there

00:33:10.140 --> 00:33:10.880
 and

00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:11.000
 then

00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:11.240
 someone

00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:11.440
 just

00:33:11.440 --> 00:33:11.860
 walks

00:33:11.860 --> 00:33:12.180
 by

00:33:12.180 --> 00:33:12.300
 and

00:33:12.300 --> 00:33:12.440
 they

00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:12.779
 look

00:33:12.779 --> 00:33:12.880
 at

00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:13.060
 that

00:33:13.060 --> 00:33:13.440
 piece

00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:13.580
 and

00:33:13.580 --> 00:33:13.680
 they

00:33:13.680 --> 00:33:13.840
 look

00:33:13.840 --> 00:33:13.940
 at

00:33:13.940 --> 00:33:14.120
 this

00:33:14.120 --> 00:33:14.279
 one

00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:14.440
 no

00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:14.620
 that

00:33:14.620 --> 00:33:14.820
 doesn't

00:33:14.820 --> 00:33:14.940
 go

00:33:14.940 --> 00:33:15.080
 with

00:33:15.080 --> 00:33:15.240
 that

00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:15.380
 one

00:33:15.380 --> 00:33:15.560
 over

00:33:15.560 --> 00:33:15.779
 here

00:33:15.779 --> 00:33:15.880
 it

00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:26.000
 that

00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:26.200
 kind

00:33:26.200 --> 00:33:26.300
 of

00:33:26.300 --> 00:33:26.480
 thing

00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:26.720
 can

00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:27.120
 happen

00:33:27.120 --> 00:33:27.519
 in

00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:27.660
 our

00:33:27.660 --> 00:33:27.960
 midst

00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:28.759
 and

00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:28.940
 it's

00:33:28.940 --> 00:33:29.180
 good

00:33:29.180 --> 00:33:29.340
 when

00:33:29.340 --> 00:33:29.480
 it

00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:29.800
 does

00:33:29.800 --> 00:33:30.820
 if

00:33:30.820 --> 00:33:30.980
 we're

00:33:30.980 --> 00:33:31.279
 humble

00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:31.480
 if

00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:31.620
 we're

00:33:31.620 --> 00:33:31.820
 quick

00:33:31.820 --> 00:33:32.000
 to

00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:32.279
 listen

00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:33.060
 we

00:33:33.060 --> 00:33:33.240
 can

00:33:33.240 --> 00:33:33.420
 learn

00:33:33.420 --> 00:33:33.620
 from

00:33:33.620 --> 00:33:33.820
 each

00:33:33.820 --> 00:33:34.060
 other

00:33:34.060 --> 00:33:35.160
 we

00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:35.300
 can

00:33:35.300 --> 00:33:35.460
 see

00:33:35.460 --> 00:33:35.860
 wonderful

00:33:35.860 --> 00:33:36.259
 things

00:33:36.259 --> 00:33:36.420
 that

00:33:36.420 --> 00:33:36.540
 we

00:33:36.540 --> 00:33:36.740
 may

00:33:36.740 --> 00:33:36.920
 have

00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:37.320
 missed

00:33:37.320 --> 00:33:37.560
 if

00:33:37.560 --> 00:33:37.680
 we

00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:37.880
 just

00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:38.120
 tried

00:33:38.120 --> 00:33:38.259
 to

00:33:38.259 --> 00:33:38.400
 do

00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:38.580
 it

00:33:38.580 --> 00:33:39.040
 all

00:33:39.040 --> 00:33:39.220
 by

00:33:39.220 --> 00:33:39.700
 ourselves

00:33:39.700 --> 00:33:40.680
 we

00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:40.860
 can

00:33:40.860 --> 00:33:41.259
 receive

00:33:41.259 --> 00:33:41.800
 correction

00:33:41.800 --> 00:33:42.840
 and

00:33:42.840 --> 00:33:42.960
 we

00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:43.120
 can

00:33:43.120 --> 00:33:43.420
 correct

00:33:43.420 --> 00:33:43.600
 one

00:33:43.600 --> 00:33:43.920
 another

00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:47.140
 some

00:33:47.140 --> 00:33:47.240
 of

00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:47.320
 you

00:33:47.320 --> 00:33:47.480
 may

00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:47.600
 be

00:33:47.600 --> 00:33:47.980
 wondering

00:33:47.980 --> 00:33:48.620
 whether

00:33:48.620 --> 00:33:48.800
 we

00:33:48.800 --> 00:33:48.960
 should

00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:49.259
 stop

00:33:49.259 --> 00:33:49.600
 singing

00:33:49.600 --> 00:33:49.860
 some

00:33:49.860 --> 00:33:49.960
 of

00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:50.160
 those

00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:56.120
 all

00:33:56.120 --> 00:33:56.340
 these

00:33:56.340 --> 00:33:56.600
 songs

00:33:56.600 --> 00:33:56.759
 are

00:33:56.759 --> 00:33:57.040
 precious

00:33:57.040 --> 00:33:57.300
 to

00:33:57.300 --> 00:33:57.480
 us

00:33:57.480 --> 00:33:57.700
 they've

00:33:57.700 --> 00:33:57.820
 been

00:33:57.820 --> 00:33:58.000
 around

00:33:58.000 --> 00:33:58.160
 for

00:33:58.160 --> 00:33:58.460
 hundreds

00:33:58.460 --> 00:33:58.700
 of

00:33:58.700 --> 00:33:59.019
 years

00:33:59.019 --> 00:34:00.160
 I

00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:00.340
 don't

00:34:00.340 --> 00:34:00.560
 think

00:34:00.560 --> 00:34:00.700
 we

00:34:00.700 --> 00:34:00.940
 need

00:34:00.940 --> 00:34:01.200
 to

00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:02.279
 none

00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:02.440
 of

00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:02.600
 our

00:34:02.600 --> 00:34:02.900
 songs

00:34:02.900 --> 00:34:03.100
 is

00:34:03.100 --> 00:34:03.560
 perfect

00:34:03.560 --> 00:34:04.759
 but

00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:04.860
 I

00:34:04.860 --> 00:34:05.000
 think

00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:05.100
 it

00:34:05.100 --> 00:34:05.240
 is

00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:05.640
 important

00:34:05.640 --> 00:34:06.140
 that

00:34:06.140 --> 00:34:06.320
 we

00:34:06.320 --> 00:34:06.900
 understand

00:34:06.900 --> 00:34:07.820
 what

00:34:07.820 --> 00:34:08.240
 Jesus

00:34:08.240 --> 00:34:09.059
 said

00:34:09.059 --> 00:34:09.820
 and

00:34:09.820 --> 00:34:09.960
 what

00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:10.119
 the

00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:10.380
 scriptures

00:34:10.380 --> 00:34:10.860
 say

00:34:10.860 --> 00:34:12.619
 and

00:34:12.619 --> 00:34:12.780
 what

00:34:12.780 --> 00:34:12.940
 he

00:34:12.940 --> 00:34:13.260
 meant

00:34:13.260 --> 00:34:14.119
 yes

00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:14.300
 it

00:34:14.300 --> 00:34:14.539
 says

00:34:14.539 --> 00:34:15.079
 mansions

00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:15.300
 but

00:34:15.300 --> 00:34:15.440
 it

00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:15.680
 means

00:34:15.680 --> 00:34:15.980
 dwelling

00:34:15.980 --> 00:34:16.460
 place

00:34:16.460 --> 00:34:18.680
 these

00:34:18.680 --> 00:34:18.880
 are

00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:19.519
 opportunities

00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:19.960
 for

00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:20.159
 us

00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:20.500
 to

00:34:20.500 --> 00:34:22.119
 reflect

00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:22.440
 on

00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:22.639
 what

00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:22.900
 heaven

00:34:22.900 --> 00:34:23.059
 will

00:34:23.059 --> 00:34:23.220
 be

00:34:23.220 --> 00:34:23.460
 like

00:34:23.460 --> 00:34:23.619
 what

00:34:23.619 --> 00:34:23.760
 the

00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:24.019
 scriptures

00:34:24.019 --> 00:34:24.380
 say

00:34:25.159 --> 00:34:25.319
 our

00:34:25.319 --> 00:34:25.639
 children

00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:25.879
 in

00:34:25.879 --> 00:34:26.039
 that

00:34:26.039 --> 00:34:26.239
 way

00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:26.500
 too

00:34:26.500 --> 00:34:27.500
 and

00:34:27.500 --> 00:34:27.639
 get

00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:27.799
 them

00:34:27.799 --> 00:34:28.179
 thinking

00:34:28.179 --> 00:34:29.359
 one

00:34:29.359 --> 00:34:29.559
 of my

00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:29.859
 favorite

00:34:29.859 --> 00:34:30.279
 songs

00:34:30.279 --> 00:34:30.579
 back

00:34:30.579 --> 00:34:30.739
 in

00:34:30.739 --> 00:34:30.839
 the

00:34:30.839 --> 00:34:31.039
 day

00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:31.359
 was

00:34:31.359 --> 00:34:32.219
 somewhere

00:34:32.219 --> 00:34:32.899
 in

00:34:32.899 --> 00:34:33.159
 outer

00:34:33.159 --> 00:34:33.699
 space

00:34:33.699 --> 00:34:34.039
 God

00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:34.440
 has

00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:34.899
 prepared

00:34:34.899 --> 00:34:35.119
 a

00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:35.619
 place

00:34:35.619 --> 00:34:35.819
 you

00:34:35.819 --> 00:34:36.019
 probably

00:34:36.019 --> 00:34:36.219
 know

00:34:36.219 --> 00:34:36.420
 that

00:34:36.420 --> 00:34:36.659
 one

00:34:36.659 --> 00:34:37.059
 the

00:34:37.059 --> 00:34:37.379
 countdown

00:34:37.379 --> 00:34:37.839
 song

00:34:37.839 --> 00:34:37.980
 you

00:34:37.980 --> 00:34:38.139
 get

00:34:38.139 --> 00:34:38.239
 in

00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:38.339
 the

00:34:38.339 --> 00:34:38.659
 rocket

00:34:38.659 --> 00:34:39.199
 countdown

00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:39.799
 blast

00:34:39.799 --> 00:34:40.039
 off

00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:40.199
 to

00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:40.480
 heaven

00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:42.279
 I

00:34:42.279 --> 00:34:42.599
 still

00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:42.839
 love

00:34:42.839 --> 00:34:43.039
 that

00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:43.339
 song

00:34:43.339 --> 00:34:43.559
 it's

00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:43.759
 so

00:34:43.759 --> 00:34:44.159
 catchy

00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:44.440
 it's

00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:44.599
 so

00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:45.119
 wonderful

00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:46.659
 it's

00:34:46.659 --> 00:34:46.859
 kind

00:34:46.859 --> 00:34:46.980
 of

00:34:46.980 --> 00:34:47.359
 wrong

00:34:47.359 --> 00:34:47.639
 I

00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:48.059
 think

00:34:48.059 --> 00:34:51.699
 let's

00:34:51.699 --> 00:34:51.879
 sing

00:34:51.879 --> 00:34:51.980
 it

00:34:51.980 --> 00:34:52.299
 anyway

00:34:52.299 --> 00:34:52.559
 and

00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:52.779
 let's

00:34:52.779 --> 00:34:53.000
 teach

00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:53.159
 our

00:34:53.159 --> 00:34:53.480
 kids

00:34:55.159 --> 00:34:55.319
 not

00:34:55.319 --> 00:34:55.500
 just

00:34:55.500 --> 00:34:55.859
 somewhere

00:34:55.859 --> 00:34:56.039
 in

00:34:56.039 --> 00:34:56.219
 outer

00:34:56.219 --> 00:34:56.779
 space

00:34:56.779 --> 00:34:58.759
 and

00:34:58.759 --> 00:34:58.899
 that

00:34:58.899 --> 00:34:59.159
 going

00:34:59.159 --> 00:34:59.379
 there

00:34:59.379 --> 00:34:59.519
 is

00:34:59.519 --> 00:34:59.699
 not

00:34:59.699 --> 00:34:59.899
 like

00:34:59.899 --> 00:35:00.019
 a

00:35:00.019 --> 00:35:00.239
 flight

00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:00.359
 in

00:35:00.359 --> 00:35:00.480
 a

00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:00.719
 rocket

00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:01.039
 ship

00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:01.480
 Jesus

00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:01.779
 is

00:35:01.779 --> 00:35:02.099
 coming

00:35:02.099 --> 00:35:02.599
 back

00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:02.839
 to

00:35:02.839 --> 00:35:03.099
 take

00:35:03.099 --> 00:35:03.299
 us

00:35:03.299 --> 00:35:03.519
 there

00:35:03.519 --> 00:35:06.679
 finally

00:35:06.679 --> 00:35:06.839
 I

00:35:06.839 --> 00:35:07.019
 just

00:35:07.019 --> 00:35:07.159
 want

00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:07.259
 to

00:35:07.259 --> 00:35:07.480
 press

00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:07.679

00:35:09.059 --> 00:35:09.239
 these

00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:09.599

00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:10.159

00:35:10.359 --> 00:35:10.480
 who

00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:10.920
 believe

00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:11.699
 we

00:35:11.699 --> 00:35:11.899
 have

00:35:11.899 --> 00:35:12.039
 a

00:35:20.879 --> 00:35:21.399
 stuff

00:35:21.399 --> 00:35:22.940
 it

00:35:22.940 --> 00:35:23.519
 transcends

00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:23.699
 the

 most

00:35:23.859 --> 00:35:24.299
 beautiful
