00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.179
 Jesus said, the spirit gives life, the flesh is no help at all.

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:07.600
 Father, we do want your spirit to speak now.

00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:12.660
 The words I speak are no help at all unless you are at work.

00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:16.359
 So please would you speak as we hear the words of Jesus read to us.

00:00:16.859 --> 00:00:22.480
 And then as I try to explain them, please speak by your spirit to each of our hearts and draw us to Jesus.

00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:24.780
 We pray in his name. Amen.

00:00:24.780 --> 00:00:31.080
 Now, I don't know if there's a there's a phrase that I don't know if you've heard it.

00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:33.460
 You're sometimes at watermark, maybe a prayer meetings.

00:00:33.980 --> 00:00:35.900
 Twenty five in twenty twenty five.

00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:37.280
 Does that ring a bell?

00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:39.000
 Yes, some people.

00:00:40.299 --> 00:00:41.719
 Twenty five in twenty twenty five.

00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.980
 Yeah, so twenty five.

00:00:47.180 --> 00:00:49.200
 That's what we wanted at the start of the year.

00:00:49.299 --> 00:00:53.780
 This year we wanted to see like twenty five people become Christians and get baptized.

00:00:53.780 --> 00:00:55.300
 Something like that.

00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:55.520
 Right.

00:00:55.579 --> 00:00:56.780
 So we thought twenty twenty five.

00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:57.880
 Twenty five is a great number.

00:00:58.740 --> 00:01:01.640
 Well, we have three months left and we're not even halfway.

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:05.980
 And I don't know what you think about it.

00:01:06.099 --> 00:01:09.840
 The truth is actually, you know, it's not that easy for people to become Christians.

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.099
 There aren't you know, it's not like amazing revival in Hong Kong.

00:01:14.659 --> 00:01:17.500
 For many people, it seems to be an objection even.

00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:17.740
 Right.

00:01:17.740 --> 00:01:18.480
 Maybe you're here.

00:01:18.579 --> 00:01:19.659
 You're looking into Christianity.

00:01:19.659 --> 00:01:19.819
 Christianity.

00:01:20.099 --> 00:01:25.939
 But, you know, if this really was real, if this really was so amazing, why don't we see

00:01:25.939 --> 00:01:29.620
 millions and millions of people in Hong Kong coming to believe that?

00:01:29.700 --> 00:01:29.840
 Right.

00:01:30.259 --> 00:01:32.719
 How can it be true if so few people respond?

00:01:33.479 --> 00:01:35.060
 I don't know if you feel that sometimes.

00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:39.199
 I mean, many of us, we love more people to believe, not because we want to have more numbers

00:01:39.199 --> 00:01:39.439
 here.

00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:41.780
 We think this is amazing news.

00:01:41.859 --> 00:01:43.560
 This is the best news ever.

00:01:43.659 --> 00:01:44.379
 This is wonderful.

00:01:44.379 --> 00:01:47.179
 And so we'd love people to receive this.

00:01:47.859 --> 00:01:49.000
 And yet that's not happening.

00:01:49.119 --> 00:01:50.159
 I don't know what people need.

00:01:50.839 --> 00:01:53.599
 Do you think maybe I wish there were more miracles today?

00:01:54.479 --> 00:01:58.140
 I wish there just was more evidence, you know, maybe a better preacher.

00:01:58.340 --> 00:01:59.379
 I mean, that would help definitely.

00:01:59.859 --> 00:02:01.379
 But you know what I mean, right?

00:02:01.699 --> 00:02:02.799
 What can we do?

00:02:03.479 --> 00:02:08.939
 Well, I think today will be helpful because we're doing the second part of this long chapter.

00:02:08.939 --> 00:02:13.319
 And I guess we'll have a few guests here who weren't here last week, visitors.

00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:14.500
 It's great to have you.

00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:17.340
 But yeah, where are we?

00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:20.979
 So this is in the Gospel of John, John chapter 6.

00:02:21.500 --> 00:02:27.500
 And this has been quite a momentous occasion because just now, Jesus, well, the day before

00:02:27.500 --> 00:02:30.500
 what we hear, Jesus did this amazing miracle.

00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:31.300
 It's so famous.

00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:32.620
 It's in every single Gospel.

00:02:32.860 --> 00:02:34.199
 That's the only one, actually.

00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:40.119
 It's in every Gospel where Jesus fed 5,000 people plus their families.

00:02:40.780 --> 00:02:43.759
 So 5,000 men plus their families from just one lunch.

00:02:44.579 --> 00:02:46.359
 I don't know what you would have thought, right?

00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:50.699
 If all of you, you know, maybe one of you has some sandwiches and all of us could eat

00:02:50.699 --> 00:02:54.359
 from that just because Jesus did this amazing miracle, right?

00:02:54.419 --> 00:02:55.179
 That was amazing.

00:02:55.259 --> 00:02:56.579
 And people recognize it, right?

00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:57.659
 They want to make him king.

00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.019
 When he then goes away, they all run after him.

00:03:01.079 --> 00:03:03.259
 The next day, they find him on the other side of the lake.

00:03:03.259 --> 00:03:05.099
 Oh, Jesus, right?

00:03:05.179 --> 00:03:06.039
 They love him.

00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.299
 And Jesus then wants to explain what it means.

00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:14.719
 We started looking at that a little bit last week because, well, it's a special time.

00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:20.039
 In 6, verse 4, it says it's the Passover.

00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:25.379
 The Passover is one of many times that they remember the exodus from Egypt.

00:03:26.340 --> 00:03:30.319
 The exodus from Egypt, I mean, if you have read the Bible, hopefully you've come across

00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:30.599
 that.

00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:32.039
 Maybe you haven't.

00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:35.840
 Maybe you've seen The Prince of Egypt, that movie from the late 90s.

00:03:36.500 --> 00:03:41.500
 Yeah, a wonderful story of how God's people, the Israelites, they were slaves in Egypt,

00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:43.319
 but God rescued them.

00:03:44.219 --> 00:03:46.680
 And he brought them through the desert.

00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:50.620
 And, you know, walking millions of people in the desert, how would they survive?

00:03:50.699 --> 00:03:52.299
 He gave them bread miraculously.

00:03:52.300 --> 00:03:56.020
 And now, well, this miracle just happened.

00:03:56.140 --> 00:03:58.760
 And Jesus says, well, actually, that's about me, right?

00:03:59.140 --> 00:04:01.080
 This is a picture of what I've come to do.

00:04:01.160 --> 00:04:03.100
 I've come to rescue you from slavery.

00:04:03.500 --> 00:04:04.920
 I've come to bring you home.

00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:08.560
 I'm the bread of life, the thing that's going to get you to the promised land.

00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:12.240
 And if you believe in me, you will have eternal life.

00:04:13.340 --> 00:04:15.259
 Well, I think you would expect revival, right?

00:04:15.300 --> 00:04:18.399
 Because, you know, here's the best preacher who ever lived.

00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:20.040
 And they've just had this amazing miracle.

00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:22.379
 And they're all hyped about what Jesus can do.

00:04:22.379 --> 00:04:26.019
 And so, well, I'm sure we're going to get thousands of people baptized.

00:04:26.219 --> 00:04:29.040
 Well, let's read as we continue in this chapter.

00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:33.620
 So, Margo and Iris will come up and read John chapter 6 for us.

00:04:39.100 --> 00:04:40.439
 Good morning, Watermark.

00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:45.899
 The scripture reading today comes from John chapter 6, verses 35 to 71.

00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.300
 If you're using the church Bible, you can turn to page 838.

00:04:50.300 --> 00:04:54.460
 Starting in verse 35, we read,

00:04:54.460 --> 00:04:57.699
 Jesus said to them,

00:04:58.220 --> 00:05:00.240
 I am the bread of life.

00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.100
 Whoever comes to me shall not hunger,

00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.280
 and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.

00:05:07.139 --> 00:05:10.920
 But I said to you that you have sinned me and yet do not believe.

00:05:11.860 --> 00:05:14.460
 All that the Father gives me will come to me,

00:05:15.019 --> 00:05:18.220
 and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.

00:05:18.220 --> 00:05:20.780
 For I have come down from heaven,

00:05:21.020 --> 00:05:22.480
 not to do my own will,

00:05:22.760 --> 00:05:24.480
 but the will of him who sent me.

00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:27.440
 And this is the will of him who sent me,

00:05:27.820 --> 00:05:31.220
 that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me,

00:05:31.540 --> 00:05:33.380
 but raise it up on the last day.

00:05:33.860 --> 00:05:35.740
 For this is the will of my Father,

00:05:36.260 --> 00:05:39.420
 that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him

00:05:39.420 --> 00:05:40.920
 should have eternal life,

00:05:41.300 --> 00:05:43.980
 and I will raise him up on the last day.

00:05:43.980 --> 00:05:46.879
 So the Jews grumbled about him,

00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:48.020
 because he said,

00:05:48.200 --> 00:05:50.319
 I am the bread that came down from heaven.

00:05:51.100 --> 00:05:51.939
 They said,

00:05:52.180 --> 00:05:54.860
 It's not this Jesus, the son of Joseph,

00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:56.819
 whose father and mother we know.

00:05:57.220 --> 00:05:58.500
 How does he now say,

00:05:58.660 --> 00:05:59.740
 I have come down from heaven?

00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:01.759
 Jesus answered them,

00:06:02.200 --> 00:06:03.879
 Do not grumble among yourselves.

00:06:04.640 --> 00:06:05.819
 No one can come to me

00:06:05.819 --> 00:06:08.100
 unless the Father who sent me draws him,

00:06:08.580 --> 00:06:11.040
 and I will raise him up on the last day.

00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:13.379
 It is written in the prophets,

00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:15.939
 and they will all be taught by God.

00:06:16.660 --> 00:06:19.720
 Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.

00:06:20.280 --> 00:06:22.120
 Not that anyone has seen the Father,

00:06:22.300 --> 00:06:23.920
 except he who is from God.

00:06:24.340 --> 00:06:25.720
 He has seen the Father.

00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:29.700
 Truly, truly, I say to you,

00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.560
 whoever believes has eternal life.

00:06:33.100 --> 00:06:34.720
 I am the bread of life.

00:06:35.400 --> 00:06:37.400
 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness,

00:06:37.640 --> 00:06:38.400
 and they died.

00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:41.339
 This is the bread that comes down from heaven,

00:06:41.479 --> 00:06:44.120
 so that one may eat of it and not die.

00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.379
 I am the living bread that came down from heaven.

00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:49.719
 If anyone eats of this bread,

00:06:50.039 --> 00:06:51.419
 he will live forever,

00:06:51.819 --> 00:06:54.859
 and the bread that I will give for the life of the world

00:06:54.859 --> 00:06:55.899
 is my flesh.

00:06:57.239 --> 00:06:59.560
 The Jews then disputed among themselves,

00:06:59.819 --> 00:07:00.139
 saying,

00:07:00.699 --> 00:07:03.659
 How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

00:07:03.660 --> 00:07:05.580
 So Jesus said to them,

00:07:06.460 --> 00:07:08.540
 Truly, truly, I say to you,

00:07:09.100 --> 00:07:11.920
 unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man

00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:13.400
 and drink his blood,

00:07:13.900 --> 00:07:15.900
 you have no life in you.

00:07:17.020 --> 00:07:18.740
 Whoever feeds on my flesh

00:07:18.740 --> 00:07:19.940
 and drinks my blood

00:07:19.940 --> 00:07:21.140
 has eternal life,

00:07:21.340 --> 00:07:24.280
 and I will raise him up on the last day.

00:07:24.640 --> 00:07:26.840
 For my flesh is true food,

00:07:27.180 --> 00:07:29.320
 and my blood is true drink.

00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:31.540
 Whoever feeds on my flesh

00:07:31.540 --> 00:07:32.680
 and drinks my blood

00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:34.060
 abides in me,

00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:35.680
 and I in him.

00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:37.899
 As the living Father sent me,

00:07:38.060 --> 00:07:39.920
 and I live because of the Father,

00:07:40.379 --> 00:07:41.899
 so whoever feeds on me,

00:07:42.159 --> 00:07:44.379
 he also will live because of me.

00:07:45.019 --> 00:07:47.339
 This is the bread that came down from heaven,

00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.579
 not like the bread the fathers ate and died.

00:07:51.100 --> 00:07:52.860
 Whoever feeds on this bread

00:07:52.860 --> 00:07:53.920
 will live forever.

00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:57.240
 Jesus said these things in the synagogue

00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:58.920
 as he taught at Capanium.

00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.540
 When many of his disciples heard it,

00:08:02.699 --> 00:08:03.140
 they said,

00:08:03.400 --> 00:08:04.800
 This is a hard saying.

00:08:05.220 --> 00:08:06.280
 Who can listen to it?

00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:07.500
 But Jesus,

00:08:07.900 --> 00:08:09.100
 knowing in himself

00:08:09.100 --> 00:08:11.360
 that his disciples were grumbling about this,

00:08:11.740 --> 00:08:12.280
 said to them,

00:08:12.840 --> 00:08:14.580
 Do you take offense at this?

00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.379
 Then what if you were to see the Son of Man

00:08:17.379 --> 00:08:19.400
 ascending to where he was before?

00:08:20.340 --> 00:08:22.240
 It is the Spirit who gives life.

00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.560
 The flesh is no help at all.

00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:26.920
 The words that I have spoken to you

00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:28.199
 are spirit and life.

00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:31.240
 And there are some of you who do not believe.

00:08:31.980 --> 00:08:33.580
 For Jesus knew from the beginning

00:08:33.580 --> 00:08:36.519
 who those were who did not believe,

00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:38.779
 and who it was who would betray him.

00:08:39.340 --> 00:08:40.019
 And he said,

00:08:40.620 --> 00:08:41.860
 This is why I told you

00:08:41.860 --> 00:08:43.259
 that no one can come to me

00:08:43.259 --> 00:08:45.440
 unless it is granted him by the Father.

00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:47.279
 After this,

00:08:47.539 --> 00:08:49.419
 many of his disciples turned back

00:08:49.419 --> 00:08:51.600
 and no longer walked with him.

00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:53.899
 So Jesus said to the twelve,

00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.220
 Do you want to go away as well?

00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:58.440
 Simon Peter answered him,

00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:00.700
 Lord, to whom shall we go?

00:09:01.340 --> 00:09:03.259
 You have the words of eternal life,

00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:04.759
 and we have believed,

00:09:05.300 --> 00:09:06.360
 and have come to know

00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:08.540
 that you are the Holy One of God.

00:09:09.420 --> 00:09:10.540
 Jesus answered them,

00:09:10.940 --> 00:09:12.480
 Did I not choose you, the twelve?

00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:14.720
 And yet one of you is a devil.

00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:16.279
 He spoke of Jesus,

00:09:16.580 --> 00:09:18.120
 the son of Simon Iscariot,

00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.000
 for he, one of the twelve,

00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:21.299
 was going to betray him.

00:09:21.580 --> 00:09:22.700
 This is the word of God.

00:09:22.700 --> 00:09:29.379
 All right.

00:09:29.700 --> 00:09:30.540
 Yeah, great.

00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:32.759
 Good button works.

00:09:32.980 --> 00:09:35.940
 So, I don't know what you thought.

00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:36.460
 All right.

00:09:36.500 --> 00:09:38.200
 It's really not what we'd expect.

00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:39.140
 Here's a crowd,

00:09:39.400 --> 00:09:40.700
 and they start to grumble

00:09:40.700 --> 00:09:42.100
 about what Jesus says.

00:09:42.259 --> 00:09:43.340
 Jesus talks some more,

00:09:43.680 --> 00:09:44.900
 and they start disputing,

00:09:44.900 --> 00:09:46.280
 and when Jesus is finished,

00:09:46.900 --> 00:09:47.500
 verse 16,

00:09:47.620 --> 00:09:49.200
 man, this is a hard saying, right?

00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:50.160
 Who can endure it?

00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:52.300
 And then, ultimately,

00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:53.300
 verse 66,

00:09:53.700 --> 00:09:54.960
 many of his disciples

00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:55.840
 walked away,

00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:57.420
 and no longer followed him.

00:09:57.460 --> 00:09:58.680
 They had thousands of people,

00:09:59.460 --> 00:10:00.300
 and now, well,

00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:00.860
 I don't know,

00:10:01.400 --> 00:10:02.080
 twenty, thirty?

00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:03.320
 I have no idea,

00:10:03.500 --> 00:10:04.960
 but a lot less.

00:10:05.180 --> 00:10:05.620
 And I don't know

00:10:05.620 --> 00:10:07.040
 if it's a big shock to you, right?

00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:08.259
 It's so surprising

00:10:08.259 --> 00:10:10.220
 how few people believe.

00:10:10.740 --> 00:10:11.920
 And we're not just talking

00:10:11.920 --> 00:10:13.100
 about, I don't know,

00:10:13.100 --> 00:10:13.900
 the Pharisees,

00:10:14.020 --> 00:10:14.900
 the religious leaders.

00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:15.379
 Of course,

00:10:15.460 --> 00:10:16.640
 they always don't like Jesus,

00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:18.319
 but it says

00:10:18.319 --> 00:10:19.580
 these are disciples, right?

00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:21.100
 People who started following him,

00:10:21.299 --> 00:10:22.580
 who, yeah,

00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:23.379
 who followed Jesus,

00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:24.379
 and yet they gave up.

00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:26.340
 Well, what is going on?

00:10:26.439 --> 00:10:27.220
 That is the topic

00:10:27.220 --> 00:10:28.840
 for basically today,

00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:29.840
 the next few chapters.

00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:30.439
 There's actually

00:10:30.439 --> 00:10:31.340
 quite a lot of that

00:10:31.340 --> 00:10:32.580
 in these chapters of John,

00:10:33.179 --> 00:10:34.580
 and today will be

00:10:34.580 --> 00:10:35.699
 one part of it

00:10:35.699 --> 00:10:36.360
 that, yeah,

00:10:36.439 --> 00:10:37.179
 I think is something

00:10:37.179 --> 00:10:38.199
 we should listen to

00:10:38.199 --> 00:10:39.519
 that will be helpful

00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:40.980
 in many ways.

00:10:41.299 --> 00:10:41.500
 Now,

00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:43.319
 how will I divide it up?

00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:44.100
 I'll just basically

00:10:44.100 --> 00:10:44.960
 go through it

00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:46.320
 and then make

00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:47.340
 a few applications.

00:10:48.019 --> 00:10:49.060
 I'll just divide it

00:10:49.060 --> 00:10:50.680
 by the paragraphs here,

00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:51.480
 the three times

00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:52.860
 that basically

00:10:52.860 --> 00:10:54.100
 there's a negative response

00:10:54.100 --> 00:10:54.900
 from the people

00:10:54.900 --> 00:10:56.639
 leading to this

00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:57.400
 wholesale rejection.

00:10:58.160 --> 00:10:58.900
 But there's a few

00:10:58.900 --> 00:11:00.259
 hard sayings from Jesus

00:11:00.259 --> 00:11:01.240
 that they struggle with.

00:11:01.500 --> 00:11:01.980
 So, yeah,

00:11:02.100 --> 00:11:03.080
 hard saying number one,

00:11:03.560 --> 00:11:04.820
 Jesus is from heaven.

00:11:05.660 --> 00:11:06.620
 That's what it says, right?

00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:07.940
 So he says,

00:11:08.019 --> 00:11:08.160
 well,

00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:09.400
 I'm the bread from heaven

00:11:09.400 --> 00:11:10.480
 in verse 41.

00:11:10.900 --> 00:11:11.519
 So the Jews

00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:12.800
 grumbled about him

00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:14.099
 because he said,

00:11:14.419 --> 00:11:15.279
 I am the bread

00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:15.919
 that came down

00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:16.599
 from heaven.

00:11:17.359 --> 00:11:17.799
 They said,

00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:18.799
 is not this Jesus,

00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:20.000
 the son of Joseph,

00:11:20.379 --> 00:11:21.259
 whose father and mother

00:11:21.259 --> 00:11:21.719
 we know,

00:11:22.219 --> 00:11:23.419
 how does he now say,

00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:24.539
 I have come down

00:11:24.539 --> 00:11:25.159
 from heaven?

00:11:26.199 --> 00:11:26.419
 Right?

00:11:26.539 --> 00:11:27.479
 They really struggle

00:11:27.479 --> 00:11:27.899
 with it.

00:11:28.259 --> 00:11:30.199
 He says he's come down

00:11:30.199 --> 00:11:30.620
 from heaven,

00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:31.639
 from God.

00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:32.379
 Now,

00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:33.240
 isn't this just

00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:34.139
 an honest question?

00:11:34.139 --> 00:11:34.599
 You know,

00:11:34.819 --> 00:11:36.179
 because here's this guy,

00:11:36.359 --> 00:11:37.199
 he just looks like

00:11:37.199 --> 00:11:37.639
 a normal,

00:11:38.199 --> 00:11:38.439
 you know,

00:11:38.579 --> 00:11:39.839
 Middle Eastern male,

00:11:40.019 --> 00:11:40.919
 30 years old,

00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:42.740
 and he says he's from heaven.

00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:43.079
 Of course,

00:11:43.139 --> 00:11:44.259
 that's hard to believe.

00:11:45.439 --> 00:11:45.839
 Actually,

00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:46.500
 I don't think

00:11:46.500 --> 00:11:48.099
 this is a very honest question.

00:11:48.579 --> 00:11:48.779
 I mean,

00:11:48.860 --> 00:11:50.059
 John says they're grumbling.

00:11:50.539 --> 00:11:50.899
 I don't know

00:11:50.899 --> 00:11:51.919
 if you know the word grumbling.

00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:53.399
 It's a Bible word

00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:54.319
 and actually,

00:11:54.459 --> 00:11:55.179
 it's a Bible word

00:11:55.179 --> 00:11:56.360
 that we hear a lot

00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:56.740
 in,

00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:57.339
 well,

00:11:57.439 --> 00:11:58.000
 those stories

00:11:58.000 --> 00:11:58.740
 of the Exodus

00:11:58.740 --> 00:11:59.860
 back in the Old Testament,

00:12:00.139 --> 00:12:00.299
 right?

00:12:00.339 --> 00:12:01.000
 All those people

00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:02.000
 brought out of Egypt,

00:12:02.219 --> 00:12:03.479
 what are they known for?

00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:03.659
 Well,

00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:04.279
 they're grumbling.

00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:05.240
 They complain.

00:12:05.379 --> 00:12:06.439
 They don't believe God.

00:12:06.539 --> 00:12:07.500
 They don't trust him

00:12:07.500 --> 00:12:08.439
 and actually,

00:12:08.599 --> 00:12:09.039
 as a result,

00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:09.779
 they all die

00:12:09.779 --> 00:12:10.439
 in the desert.

00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:12.259
 Grumbling already says

00:12:12.259 --> 00:12:13.000
 this is not good,

00:12:13.099 --> 00:12:13.240
 but,

00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:14.179
 I mean,

00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:15.699
 do these guys know

00:12:15.699 --> 00:12:16.559
 Jesus is special?

00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:17.740
 They do,

00:12:17.839 --> 00:12:18.019
 right?

00:12:18.620 --> 00:12:19.099
 Yesterday,

00:12:19.439 --> 00:12:21.240
 they were with

00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:22.599
 thousands of people

00:12:22.599 --> 00:12:23.439
 in the desert

00:12:23.439 --> 00:12:25.159
 and they got their

00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:25.879
 free lunch

00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:26.679
 out of nothing,

00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:28.339
 created out of

00:12:28.339 --> 00:12:30.479
 five loaves of bread,

00:12:30.899 --> 00:12:31.079
 right?

00:12:31.139 --> 00:12:31.459
 Surely,

00:12:31.839 --> 00:12:32.019
 I mean,

00:12:32.059 --> 00:12:32.599
 they wanted to make

00:12:32.599 --> 00:12:33.259
 Jesus king.

00:12:33.539 --> 00:12:34.579
 They said he's the prophet,

00:12:34.740 --> 00:12:34.919
 right?

00:12:35.319 --> 00:12:36.740
 They run to the other side

00:12:36.740 --> 00:12:37.159
 of the lake

00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:37.959
 to be with him.

00:12:38.259 --> 00:12:39.639
 They know Jesus is special.

00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:40.360
 Why are they now

00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:41.240
 complaining?

00:12:42.899 --> 00:12:43.139
 Well,

00:12:43.199 --> 00:12:43.759
 I don't know.

00:12:44.059 --> 00:12:44.419
 Exactly.

00:12:44.580 --> 00:12:46.319
 John doesn't tell us

00:12:46.319 --> 00:12:46.740
 that much,

00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:47.919
 but you can see

00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:48.659
 that there is maybe

00:12:48.659 --> 00:12:49.480
 a kind of pride

00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:49.919
 at work,

00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:50.159
 right?

00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:51.899
 Because now Jesus

00:12:51.899 --> 00:12:52.220
 says,

00:12:52.319 --> 00:12:52.580
 actually,

00:12:52.659 --> 00:12:53.580
 I'm not one of you.

00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:54.460
 I'm very different.

00:12:55.299 --> 00:12:55.919
 I don't know

00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:56.779
 how to illustrate it.

00:12:56.980 --> 00:12:57.559
 Maybe imagine

00:12:57.559 --> 00:12:58.720
 a football team,

00:12:58.819 --> 00:12:58.980
 right?

00:12:59.100 --> 00:12:59.419
 Somewhere,

00:13:00.259 --> 00:13:00.819
 some town,

00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:01.240
 they have their

00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:02.179
 local football team

00:13:02.179 --> 00:13:03.080
 and the team

00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:04.139
 is not doing well,

00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:04.720
 right?

00:13:04.779 --> 00:13:05.379
 They're losing

00:13:05.379 --> 00:13:06.039
 every game.

00:13:06.779 --> 00:13:07.320
 But then

00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:08.259
 they discover

00:13:08.259 --> 00:13:09.379
 a young man

00:13:09.379 --> 00:13:09.960
 on the street

00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:10.559
 of that town

00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:11.039
 who actually

00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:11.519
 is really good

00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:11.939
 at football

00:13:11.939 --> 00:13:12.980
 and they hire him

00:13:12.980 --> 00:13:13.659
 and now they're

00:13:13.659 --> 00:13:14.639
 winning all the games,

00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:15.200
 right?

00:13:15.299 --> 00:13:15.519
 And,

00:13:15.860 --> 00:13:16.299
 I mean,

00:13:16.379 --> 00:13:16.879
 they will really

00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:17.820
 love this new player.

00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:19.960
 It would be very

00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:20.840
 different if maybe,

00:13:21.100 --> 00:13:21.860
 I don't know,

00:13:21.939 --> 00:13:23.299
 they hire someone

00:13:23.299 --> 00:13:23.919
 from Brazil,

00:13:24.019 --> 00:13:24.200
 right,

00:13:24.220 --> 00:13:25.019
 to pay a few million

00:13:25.019 --> 00:13:25.659
 dollars and

00:13:25.659 --> 00:13:27.439
 would they like

00:13:27.439 --> 00:13:27.899
 that person?

00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:28.100
 No,

00:13:28.139 --> 00:13:28.700
 they won't.

00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:29.120
 Why not?

00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:29.659
 Because he's not

00:13:29.659 --> 00:13:30.200
 one of us,

00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:30.440
 right?

00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:32.000
 Actually,

00:13:32.259 --> 00:13:32.360
 this,

00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:33.299
 you know,

00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:34.320
 the local player

00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:35.040
 is one of us

00:13:35.040 --> 00:13:35.320
 and,

00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:35.600
 you know,

00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:36.140
 hey,

00:13:36.280 --> 00:13:37.440
 we're the Jews,

00:13:37.520 --> 00:13:38.220
 we're God's people,

00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:38.580
 we're,

00:13:38.860 --> 00:13:39.800
 here's our prophet,

00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:41.040
 rather than actually,

00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:41.360
 no,

00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:42.320
 I haven't come

00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:43.420
 from here.

00:13:43.500 --> 00:13:44.040
 I've come from

00:13:44.040 --> 00:13:44.740
 somewhere else

00:13:44.740 --> 00:13:46.020
 to save you.

00:13:46.640 --> 00:13:47.160
 I don't know

00:13:47.160 --> 00:13:48.100
 if that is what it is

00:13:48.100 --> 00:13:49.120
 but they were not

00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:49.480
 happy,

00:13:49.560 --> 00:13:49.720
 right?

00:13:49.800 --> 00:13:50.300
 And even though

00:13:50.300 --> 00:13:50.640
 they've seen

00:13:50.640 --> 00:13:51.700
 this amazing miracle,

00:13:52.560 --> 00:13:53.920
 they have amazing

00:13:53.920 --> 00:13:54.780
 evidence for Jesus,

00:13:55.300 --> 00:13:56.360
 actually,

00:13:56.500 --> 00:13:57.060
 they struggle.

00:13:58.240 --> 00:13:59.280
 Jesus isn't faced,

00:13:59.420 --> 00:14:00.300
 Jesus keeps repeating,

00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:00.660
 no,

00:14:00.800 --> 00:14:01.940
 I'm the bread of life,

00:14:02.020 --> 00:14:02.900
 you really need me,

00:14:03.060 --> 00:14:03.240
 I'm,

00:14:03.580 --> 00:14:04.080
 I've come to

00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:04.680
 rescue you,

00:14:04.740 --> 00:14:04.879
 right?

00:14:05.060 --> 00:14:06.060
 I'm really from heaven,

00:14:06.180 --> 00:14:06.820
 I'm from the father,

00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:07.180
 I mean,

00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:07.840
 that's why I can

00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:08.500
 take you there,

00:14:08.580 --> 00:14:09.500
 why can I take you there?

00:14:09.560 --> 00:14:09.680
 Well,

00:14:09.700 --> 00:14:10.639
 that's where I'm from,

00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:11.460
 right?

00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:12.940
 That's what he says

00:14:12.940 --> 00:14:14.540
 in verse,

00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:15.040
 yeah,

00:14:15.259 --> 00:14:15.920
 no one has seen

00:14:15.920 --> 00:14:16.340
 the father

00:14:16.340 --> 00:14:17.120
 except he who

00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:17.980
 comes from the father.

00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:20.680
 But,

00:14:20.780 --> 00:14:21.440
 yeah,

00:14:21.860 --> 00:14:22.580
 but then he starts

00:14:22.580 --> 00:14:23.240
 talking about,

00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:23.480
 okay,

00:14:23.560 --> 00:14:24.540
 this bread of life,

00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:25.780
 this bread that you need,

00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:26.840
 I'm sure you've heard that,

00:14:26.920 --> 00:14:27.080
 right?

00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:27.820
 It's the bread that we

00:14:27.820 --> 00:14:28.480
 saw on the screen.

00:14:29.140 --> 00:14:29.500
 Actually,

00:14:30.680 --> 00:14:31.100
 there's something

00:14:31.100 --> 00:14:31.780
 more specific,

00:14:31.980 --> 00:14:33.140
 this bread that you need

00:14:33.139 --> 00:14:34.340
 is my flesh,

00:14:34.460 --> 00:14:34.639
 right?

00:14:34.699 --> 00:14:35.679
 End of verse 51,

00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:37.919
 the bread that I will give

00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:39.000
 for the life of the world

00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:40.639
 is my flesh.

00:14:41.580 --> 00:14:41.759
 Now,

00:14:41.779 --> 00:14:42.659
 this sounds very weird

00:14:42.659 --> 00:14:43.980
 and they thought it was,

00:14:44.059 --> 00:14:44.720
 sounds very weird,

00:14:44.779 --> 00:14:44.960
 right?

00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:46.860
 The Jews then disputed

00:14:46.860 --> 00:14:47.639
 among themselves,

00:14:47.779 --> 00:14:48.080
 saying,

00:14:48.419 --> 00:14:49.460
 how can this man

00:14:49.460 --> 00:14:50.500
 give us his flesh

00:14:50.500 --> 00:14:50.980
 to eat?

00:14:51.860 --> 00:14:52.799
 Jesus doesn't

00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:53.559
 back down,

00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:54.019
 of course,

00:14:54.620 --> 00:14:55.919
 he repeats it so often,

00:14:55.980 --> 00:14:56.159
 right?

00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:57.339
 verse 53,

00:14:57.659 --> 00:14:58.559
 Jesus said to them,

00:14:58.919 --> 00:14:59.259
 truly,

00:14:59.419 --> 00:14:59.679
 truly,

00:14:59.819 --> 00:15:00.600
 I say to you,

00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:01.959
 unless you eat the flesh

00:15:01.959 --> 00:15:02.839
 of the son of man

00:15:02.839 --> 00:15:04.279
 and drink his blood,

00:15:04.500 --> 00:15:05.779
 you have no life in you.

00:15:06.379 --> 00:15:07.639
 Whoever feeds on my flesh

00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:08.579
 and drinks my blood

00:15:08.579 --> 00:15:09.559
 has eternal life

00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:10.480
 and I will raise him up

00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:11.199
 on the last day

00:15:11.199 --> 00:15:12.600
 for my flesh

00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:13.539
 is true food

00:15:13.539 --> 00:15:14.100
 and my blood

00:15:14.100 --> 00:15:14.959
 is true drink.

00:15:15.939 --> 00:15:16.699
 Is the mic okay?

00:15:17.659 --> 00:15:18.419
 Seems to be fading

00:15:18.419 --> 00:15:18.899
 in and out.

00:15:22.199 --> 00:15:22.579
 Okay.

00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:23.759
 Sorry,

00:15:23.980 --> 00:15:24.960
 I have a very

00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:25.860
 old shaped head

00:15:25.860 --> 00:15:26.379
 and that's why.

00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:28.940
 Maybe this,

00:15:29.259 --> 00:15:30.340
 is this better?

00:15:30.740 --> 00:15:31.100
 Yeah,

00:15:31.180 --> 00:15:31.360
 okay,

00:15:31.400 --> 00:15:32.139
 let's try this.

00:15:33.400 --> 00:15:34.060
 I will raise him up

00:15:34.060 --> 00:15:35.000
 verse 55,

00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:36.340
 my flesh is true food,

00:15:36.420 --> 00:15:37.660
 my blood is true drink.

00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:39.000
 Whoever feeds on my flesh

00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:39.940
 and drinks my blood

00:15:39.940 --> 00:15:41.020
 abides in me

00:15:41.020 --> 00:15:41.520
 and I in him.

00:15:41.580 --> 00:15:41.740
 I mean,

00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:42.639
 you can't miss it,

00:15:42.680 --> 00:15:42.860
 right?

00:15:42.860 --> 00:15:43.879
 He keeps talking

00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:44.639
 about his flesh

00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:45.160
 and blood.

00:15:46.100 --> 00:15:46.300
 Now,

00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:46.920
 what is this?

00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:48.620
 I think if you've

00:15:48.620 --> 00:15:49.860
 been around Christian things,

00:15:49.940 --> 00:15:50.440
 you know for a while,

00:15:50.500 --> 00:15:51.340
 he's talking about

00:15:51.340 --> 00:15:52.020
 his death.

00:15:52.580 --> 00:15:52.879
 I mean,

00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:53.320
 when you see

00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:54.200
 flesh and blood,

00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:55.000
 I don't know

00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:55.600
 what kind of movies

00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:56.060
 you watch,

00:15:56.180 --> 00:15:56.900
 but you know,

00:15:56.940 --> 00:15:57.259
 when you see

00:15:57.259 --> 00:15:57.900
 flesh and blood,

00:15:58.020 --> 00:15:58.860
 people die,

00:15:59.020 --> 00:15:59.200
 right?

00:15:59.440 --> 00:15:59.920
 He says,

00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:00.740
 he's going to die.

00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:02.840
 That's actually

00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:03.800
 not a weird thing

00:16:03.800 --> 00:16:04.800
 for him to say

00:16:04.800 --> 00:16:06.740
 because remember

00:16:06.740 --> 00:16:07.360
 the festival

00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:08.160
 that it was,

00:16:08.820 --> 00:16:08.980
 right?

00:16:09.220 --> 00:16:09.940
 This is,

00:16:10.139 --> 00:16:10.580
 John said,

00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:11.860
 this is the Passover time

00:16:11.860 --> 00:16:12.940
 and what do they remember

00:16:12.940 --> 00:16:13.540
 at the Passover?

00:16:14.520 --> 00:16:14.759
 Well,

00:16:14.820 --> 00:16:15.700
 how did they actually

00:16:15.700 --> 00:16:16.500
 come out of Egypt?

00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:17.379
 How did God

00:16:17.379 --> 00:16:18.640
 rescue the people

00:16:18.640 --> 00:16:19.280
 from slavery?

00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:20.440
 Well,

00:16:20.540 --> 00:16:21.180
 God said

00:16:21.180 --> 00:16:22.100
 he would punish

00:16:22.100 --> 00:16:23.540
 the Egyptians.

00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:24.740
 He would send

00:16:24.740 --> 00:16:25.399
 a plague

00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:27.080
 and every firstborn

00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:28.320
 son would die,

00:16:29.220 --> 00:16:29.960
 kind of repayment

00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:31.200
 for what the Egyptians

00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:32.139
 had done in the past.

00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:33.519
 But how would people

00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:34.240
 be protected,

00:16:34.460 --> 00:16:34.639
 right?

00:16:34.680 --> 00:16:36.060
 If every firstborn son

00:16:36.060 --> 00:16:36.759
 in every house

00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:37.519
 is going to die,

00:16:37.659 --> 00:16:38.440
 how would the

00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:39.720
 Israelite families

00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:40.340
 be protected?

00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:41.800
 And God said,

00:16:41.899 --> 00:16:42.000
 well,

00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:42.659
 you need to take

00:16:42.659 --> 00:16:43.180
 a lamb

00:16:43.180 --> 00:16:44.759
 and you kill that lamb

00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:45.800
 and you put the blood

00:16:45.800 --> 00:16:47.019
 kind of on the doorpost

00:16:47.019 --> 00:16:48.819
 and around the door

00:16:48.819 --> 00:16:50.620
 and then God

00:16:50.620 --> 00:16:51.620
 would pass over.

00:16:51.740 --> 00:16:52.199
 That's why it's called

00:16:52.199 --> 00:16:52.559
 Passover.

00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:53.500
 He would pass over

00:16:53.500 --> 00:16:54.000
 that house

00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:55.399
 because basically

00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:57.100
 there was already

00:16:57.100 --> 00:16:57.960
 a death in the house.

00:16:58.639 --> 00:16:59.279
 Someone had already

00:16:59.279 --> 00:16:59.659
 died,

00:17:00.079 --> 00:17:00.379
 something,

00:17:01.139 --> 00:17:02.639
 and so the firstborn son

00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:03.659
 did not have to die.

00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:05.220
 That was the idea,

00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:06.279
 right?

00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:07.460
 Every firstborn son

00:17:07.460 --> 00:17:07.879
 would die.

00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:08.139
 Again,

00:17:08.180 --> 00:17:09.019
 if you've seen the movie,

00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:10.000
 if you've read the story,

00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:11.960
 you probably know that.

00:17:12.700 --> 00:17:13.460
 And they didn't just

00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:14.259
 put the blood there.

00:17:14.339 --> 00:17:15.119
 What did they do?

00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:16.179
 They then had to eat

00:17:16.179 --> 00:17:16.699
 the flesh.

00:17:17.139 --> 00:17:17.779
 They had to kind of

00:17:17.779 --> 00:17:18.559
 roast the lamb

00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:19.879
 and eat the flesh.

00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:21.639
 So eating flesh

00:17:21.639 --> 00:17:22.319
 at Passover

00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:23.759
 would have made

00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:24.719
 a lot of sense to them

00:17:24.719 --> 00:17:26.639
 because it makes it

00:17:26.639 --> 00:17:27.459
 personal, right?

00:17:27.579 --> 00:17:27.819
 Okay,

00:17:27.919 --> 00:17:28.939
 here's this rescue.

00:17:29.439 --> 00:17:30.479
 God is going to rescue us

00:17:30.479 --> 00:17:31.679
 but I need to make it personal.

00:17:31.879 --> 00:17:33.000
 I need to eat it.

00:17:33.059 --> 00:17:33.979
 I need to receive it.

00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:34.799
 So I think that is just

00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:35.779
 what Jesus is saying.

00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:38.359
 Plus,

00:17:38.719 --> 00:17:40.000
 he's the Passover lamb.

00:17:40.879 --> 00:17:41.199
 And actually,

00:17:41.299 --> 00:17:42.219
 chapter 1 already said

00:17:42.219 --> 00:17:43.299
 that he was the lamb of God,

00:17:43.339 --> 00:17:43.519
 right?

00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:44.459
 He takes away

00:17:44.460 --> 00:17:45.279
 the sins of the world.

00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:46.799
 But,

00:17:47.340 --> 00:17:47.600
 you know,

00:17:47.660 --> 00:17:48.799
 if that is what he says,

00:17:49.579 --> 00:17:50.819
 it does have

00:17:50.819 --> 00:17:52.059
 certain implications,

00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:52.500
 right?

00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:54.640
 If he talks about,

00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:55.420
 okay,

00:17:55.539 --> 00:17:56.720
 my flesh and my blood

00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:58.259
 as a Passover lamb,

00:17:59.440 --> 00:17:59.759
 well,

00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:00.539
 for example,

00:18:00.660 --> 00:18:01.340
 that does mean

00:18:01.340 --> 00:18:02.039
 that his death

00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:02.960
 probably has to do

00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:04.079
 with sin,

00:18:05.140 --> 00:18:05.440
 right?

00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:06.980
 Because when God

00:18:06.980 --> 00:18:07.940
 came to

00:18:07.940 --> 00:18:09.220
 bring that plague,

00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:10.380
 it was judgment,

00:18:11.340 --> 00:18:11.519
 right?

00:18:11.600 --> 00:18:12.900
 Sin is a Bible word.

00:18:12.900 --> 00:18:13.800
 If you don't know it,

00:18:13.840 --> 00:18:14.980
 it's about our rejection

00:18:14.980 --> 00:18:15.500
 of God,

00:18:15.580 --> 00:18:16.840
 the way we just live

00:18:16.840 --> 00:18:17.560
 our own way,

00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:18.820
 even though God made us.

00:18:19.460 --> 00:18:19.600
 And,

00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:19.880
 yeah,

00:18:19.940 --> 00:18:21.259
 if God is our loving maker

00:18:21.259 --> 00:18:22.180
 who made us,

00:18:22.259 --> 00:18:22.380
 we,

00:18:22.820 --> 00:18:23.000
 you know,

00:18:23.060 --> 00:18:23.380
 we,

00:18:23.380 --> 00:18:23.560
 we,

00:18:23.560 --> 00:18:23.620
 we,

00:18:23.620 --> 00:18:23.780
 we,

00:18:23.940 --> 00:18:24.220
 you know,

00:18:24.259 --> 00:18:25.460
 it's wrong to walk away

00:18:25.460 --> 00:18:25.860
 from him.

00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:27.220
 If it's wrong to reject him.

00:18:27.280 --> 00:18:28.440
 And so we face death.

00:18:28.560 --> 00:18:29.340
 Death is the punishment

00:18:29.340 --> 00:18:29.800
 for sin.

00:18:29.900 --> 00:18:29.960
 And,

00:18:30.180 --> 00:18:30.680
 you know,

00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:31.740
 that's why all those people

00:18:31.740 --> 00:18:32.620
 in the desert died.

00:18:32.740 --> 00:18:32.860
 They,

00:18:33.180 --> 00:18:34.500
 not because of old age,

00:18:34.540 --> 00:18:36.180
 but they were judged

00:18:36.180 --> 00:18:37.160
 because they grumbled

00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:38.280
 and didn't believe

00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:39.599
 and rejected God,

00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:39.839
 right?

00:18:40.399 --> 00:18:41.299
 But Jesus says,

00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:42.559
 I can give you life.

00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:44.139
 The manna is just bread,

00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:44.399
 right?

00:18:44.500 --> 00:18:46.240
 Bread can't save you,

00:18:46.579 --> 00:18:47.279
 but I can,

00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:48.740
 because I will die

00:18:48.740 --> 00:18:49.740
 in your place,

00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:50.899
 right?

00:18:50.940 --> 00:18:51.960
 Just like the lamb

00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:52.819
 died in place

00:18:52.819 --> 00:18:54.059
 of the firstborn son,

00:18:54.799 --> 00:18:55.759
 I'm going to die

00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:56.180
 for you

00:18:56.180 --> 00:18:57.059
 in your place.

00:18:57.519 --> 00:18:58.399
 And then you don't need

00:18:58.399 --> 00:18:59.279
 to face judgment

00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:00.579
 for the things

00:19:00.579 --> 00:19:01.279
 you've done wrong.

00:19:01.899 --> 00:19:02.700
 That's basically

00:19:02.700 --> 00:19:03.779
 the point,

00:19:04.220 --> 00:19:04.379
 right?

00:19:04.460 --> 00:19:04.720
 So,

00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:05.460
 again,

00:19:05.460 --> 00:19:06.120
 it's believing

00:19:06.120 --> 00:19:06.920
 in my death

00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:07.680
 on the cross,

00:19:08.620 --> 00:19:10.360
 as John will go on

00:19:10.360 --> 00:19:11.120
 to say in the future.

00:19:13.299 --> 00:19:14.000
 Before we have to

00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:14.759
 think about it more,

00:19:14.860 --> 00:19:15.940
 I know when you heard

00:19:15.940 --> 00:19:16.500
 this chapter,

00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:17.519
 some of you will think,

00:19:17.600 --> 00:19:17.740
 hey,

00:19:17.819 --> 00:19:19.220
 isn't this communion

00:19:19.220 --> 00:19:20.259
 or something?

00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:20.480


00:19:20.940 --> 00:19:21.160
 you know,

00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:21.799
 because he talks

00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:22.680
 about eating my flesh

00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:23.680
 and drinking my blood.

00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:24.740
 I know there's people

00:19:24.740 --> 00:19:25.519
 here from a Catholic

00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:26.019
 background,

00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:26.420
 and,

00:19:26.779 --> 00:19:27.100
 you know,

00:19:28.340 --> 00:19:29.900
 you've probably

00:19:29.900 --> 00:19:30.680
 always heard,

00:19:31.100 --> 00:19:31.360
 hey,

00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:32.720
 you need,

00:19:32.860 --> 00:19:33.600
 you know,

00:19:33.980 --> 00:19:34.980
 communion.

00:19:34.980 --> 00:19:35.599
 That is where

00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:36.640
 you really get saved

00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:37.140
 because that is

00:19:37.140 --> 00:19:38.079
 what Jesus says here.

00:19:38.740 --> 00:19:39.019
 Just,

00:19:39.120 --> 00:19:39.519
 I want to speak

00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:40.779
 to that for a minute.

00:19:41.140 --> 00:19:41.839
 I don't think

00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:42.559
 that that's the case.

00:19:43.660 --> 00:19:43.860
 I mean,

00:19:43.900 --> 00:19:44.380
 first of all,

00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:45.079
 Jesus talks about

00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:45.660
 his flesh,

00:19:46.099 --> 00:19:46.799
 not his body,

00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:47.019
 right?

00:19:47.059 --> 00:19:47.700
 What's the official

00:19:47.700 --> 00:19:48.079
 warning?

00:19:48.220 --> 00:19:49.059
 This is my body

00:19:49.059 --> 00:19:49.940
 broken for you.

00:19:50.339 --> 00:19:50.539
 I mean,

00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:51.599
 why would he use

00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:52.259
 a different word?

00:19:52.339 --> 00:19:52.900
 It doesn't really

00:19:52.900 --> 00:19:53.759
 help his point.

00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:54.900
 And also,

00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:56.200
 as you heard,

00:19:56.299 --> 00:19:57.079
 they're not actually

00:19:57.079 --> 00:19:57.880
 having any food,

00:19:57.940 --> 00:19:58.099
 right?

00:19:58.960 --> 00:19:59.220
 I mean,

00:19:59.220 --> 00:20:00.319
 if he really says,

00:20:00.420 --> 00:20:00.559
 okay,

00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:01.440
 it is about this,

00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:02.579
 why doesn't he serve it?

00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:03.000
 Actually,

00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:03.519
 the bread

00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:04.819
 was the day before.

00:20:05.360 --> 00:20:06.599
 And his whole speech

00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:07.019
 is about,

00:20:07.099 --> 00:20:08.059
 it's not about bread,

00:20:08.220 --> 00:20:08.420
 right?

00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:08.940
 It doesn't make

00:20:08.940 --> 00:20:09.440
 any sense.

00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:11.240
 Actually,

00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:11.799
 if you take

00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:12.680
 these two verses,

00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:13.640
 maybe you can see

00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:14.860
 what he means.

00:20:15.019 --> 00:20:15.200
 So,

00:20:15.299 --> 00:20:15.960
 verse 40

00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:17.480
 says,

00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:18.920
 this is the will

00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:19.660
 of my father.

00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:21.660
 Verse 40,

00:20:21.900 --> 00:20:23.319
 next picture,

00:20:23.420 --> 00:20:23.559
 yeah.

00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:24.399
 this is the will

00:20:24.399 --> 00:20:24.899
 of my father

00:20:24.899 --> 00:20:25.379
 that everyone

00:20:25.379 --> 00:20:26.079
 who looks on the

00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:26.960
 son and believes

00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:27.519
 in him should

00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:27.980
 have eternal

00:20:27.980 --> 00:20:28.440
 life.

00:20:28.919 --> 00:20:29.460
 And I will

00:20:29.460 --> 00:20:29.980
 raise him up

00:20:29.980 --> 00:20:30.399
 on the last

00:20:30.399 --> 00:20:30.639
 day.

00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:31.619
 And then verse 54,

00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:32.539
 whoever feeds

00:20:32.539 --> 00:20:33.039
 on my flesh

00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:33.359
 and drinks

00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:33.839
 my blood

00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:34.339
 has eternal

00:20:34.339 --> 00:20:34.740
 life.

00:20:35.059 --> 00:20:35.679
 And I will

00:20:35.679 --> 00:20:36.159
 raise him up

00:20:36.159 --> 00:20:36.599
 on the last

00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:36.779
 day.

00:20:36.859 --> 00:20:37.079
 So,

00:20:37.659 --> 00:20:38.740
 how do you

00:20:38.740 --> 00:20:39.659
 get eternal

00:20:39.659 --> 00:20:40.220
 life and

00:20:40.220 --> 00:20:40.779
 be raised

00:20:40.779 --> 00:20:41.019
 up?

00:20:42.460 --> 00:20:42.980
 I think the

00:20:42.980 --> 00:20:43.359
 two verses

00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:43.839
 are just saying

00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:44.500
 the same thing,

00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:44.700
 right?

00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:45.599
 Eating my flesh

00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:46.299
 is a metaphor.

00:20:47.019 --> 00:20:47.559
 It's a metaphor

00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:48.379
 for believing

00:20:48.379 --> 00:20:48.819
 because,

00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:49.819
 again,

00:20:49.819 --> 00:20:50.220
 that's what

00:20:50.220 --> 00:20:51.039
 the Passover

00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:51.899
 symbolized,

00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:52.960
 right?

00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:54.000
 When you take

00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:54.200
 it,

00:20:54.259 --> 00:20:54.579
 the flesh,

00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:55.379
 you're saying,

00:20:55.500 --> 00:20:55.579
 yes,

00:20:55.619 --> 00:20:56.200
 I need this.

00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:56.740
 You're trusting

00:20:56.740 --> 00:20:57.119
 God.

00:20:57.220 --> 00:20:57.460
 Again,

00:20:57.899 --> 00:20:58.519
 lamb chops

00:20:58.519 --> 00:20:59.159
 can't save

00:20:59.159 --> 00:20:59.419
 you.

00:20:59.980 --> 00:21:00.339
 It's just,

00:21:00.980 --> 00:21:01.240
 right?

00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:02.399
 It's not about

00:21:02.399 --> 00:21:02.899
 the flesh.

00:21:03.059 --> 00:21:03.740
 It is about

00:21:03.740 --> 00:21:04.299
 the symbolic

00:21:04.299 --> 00:21:05.359
 action that

00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:06.000
 expresses your

00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:06.399
 faith.

00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:07.259
 Again,

00:21:07.339 --> 00:21:07.819
 same with

00:21:07.819 --> 00:21:08.299
 communion.

00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:09.500
 You know,

00:21:09.539 --> 00:21:09.939
 the little

00:21:09.939 --> 00:21:10.679
 wafer and the

00:21:10.679 --> 00:21:11.299
 juice can't

00:21:11.299 --> 00:21:11.679
 give you

00:21:11.679 --> 00:21:12.059
 anything.

00:21:12.819 --> 00:21:13.259
 It's just,

00:21:13.500 --> 00:21:14.179
 you express

00:21:14.179 --> 00:21:14.799
 your faith

00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:15.359
 in Jesus'

00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:15.679
 death.

00:21:15.740 --> 00:21:16.019
 That's what

00:21:16.019 --> 00:21:16.359
 you do.

00:21:16.879 --> 00:21:17.019
 Okay?

00:21:17.539 --> 00:21:17.859
 So,

00:21:18.299 --> 00:21:18.819
 this chapter

00:21:18.819 --> 00:21:19.359
 is not about

00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:19.759
 communion.

00:21:20.099 --> 00:21:21.139
 This chapter

00:21:21.139 --> 00:21:21.960
 and communion

00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:22.480
 are both

00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:23.359
 about the

00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:23.659
 cross,

00:21:24.179 --> 00:21:24.579
 if that

00:21:24.579 --> 00:21:25.000
 makes sense.

00:21:26.139 --> 00:21:26.659
 But,

00:21:26.819 --> 00:21:27.519
 with that

00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:28.039
 aside,

00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:29.359
 what do

00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:29.879
 people think

00:21:29.879 --> 00:21:30.179
 of this?

00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:30.740
 They think

00:21:30.740 --> 00:21:31.159
 it's a

00:21:31.159 --> 00:21:31.779
 really hard

00:21:31.779 --> 00:21:32.200
 saying,

00:21:32.980 --> 00:21:33.159
 right?

00:21:33.220 --> 00:21:33.859
 Verse 60,

00:21:34.399 --> 00:21:34.919
 when many

00:21:34.919 --> 00:21:35.200
 of his

00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:36.000
 disciples heard

00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:36.179
 it,

00:21:36.220 --> 00:21:36.599
 they said,

00:21:37.019 --> 00:21:37.759
 this is a

00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:38.480
 hard saying.

00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:39.399
 Who can

00:21:39.399 --> 00:21:39.939
 listen to

00:21:39.939 --> 00:21:40.200
 it?

00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:40.579
 Right?

00:21:41.399 --> 00:21:41.740
 And I

00:21:41.740 --> 00:21:42.079
 think,

00:21:42.299 --> 00:21:42.919
 why is it

00:21:42.919 --> 00:21:43.399
 so hard?

00:21:43.460 --> 00:21:44.039
 Because of

00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:44.379
 all these

00:21:44.379 --> 00:21:44.939
 assumptions,

00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:45.379
 right?

00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:46.859
 Because the

00:21:46.859 --> 00:21:47.740
 Passover means

00:21:47.740 --> 00:21:48.659
 that you

00:21:48.659 --> 00:21:49.220
 deserve

00:21:49.220 --> 00:21:49.799
 judgment.

00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:50.399
 that you've

00:21:50.399 --> 00:21:50.960
 done wrong

00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:51.220
 and that

00:21:51.220 --> 00:21:51.579
 you're going

00:21:51.579 --> 00:21:52.119
 to die

00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:52.919
 and you

00:21:52.919 --> 00:21:53.359
 can't do

00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:54.119
 anything about

00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:54.319
 it.

00:21:54.399 --> 00:21:54.740
 That's why

00:21:54.740 --> 00:21:55.279
 Jesus had

00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:55.579
 to come

00:21:55.579 --> 00:21:55.819
 and do

00:21:55.819 --> 00:21:56.220
 something.

00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:56.839
 Right?

00:21:56.879 --> 00:21:57.299
 You can't

00:21:57.299 --> 00:21:57.960
 save yourself.

00:21:58.079 --> 00:21:58.419
 The lamb

00:21:58.419 --> 00:21:58.799
 needs to

00:21:58.799 --> 00:21:59.220
 die in

00:21:59.220 --> 00:21:59.799
 your place.

00:22:00.619 --> 00:22:01.039
 And maybe

00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:01.599
 that's very

00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:02.180
 humbling.

00:22:03.019 --> 00:22:03.180
 Right?

00:22:03.180 --> 00:22:04.080
 he says,

00:22:04.140 --> 00:22:04.620
 without this

00:22:04.620 --> 00:22:04.940
 you have

00:22:04.940 --> 00:22:05.620
 no life

00:22:05.620 --> 00:22:05.980
 in you.

00:22:07.220 --> 00:22:07.420
 It's

00:22:07.420 --> 00:22:08.039
 difficult to

00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:08.200
 hear,

00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:08.440
 right?

00:22:08.460 --> 00:22:09.039
 You have

00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:09.620
 no life.

00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:10.019
 You have

00:22:10.019 --> 00:22:11.140
 nothing if

00:22:11.140 --> 00:22:11.779
 you don't

00:22:11.779 --> 00:22:13.240
 without me.

00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:15.640
 Rescue,

00:22:15.840 --> 00:22:16.060
 yeah,

00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:16.980
 he's offering

00:22:16.980 --> 00:22:17.519
 a rescue,

00:22:17.660 --> 00:22:17.940
 but you

00:22:17.940 --> 00:22:18.240
 need to

00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:18.940
 accept that

00:22:18.940 --> 00:22:19.360
 you need

00:22:19.360 --> 00:22:19.740
 rescue.

00:22:20.860 --> 00:22:21.100
 I don't

00:22:21.100 --> 00:22:21.240
 know,

00:22:21.340 --> 00:22:21.560
 silly

00:22:21.560 --> 00:22:22.160
 example,

00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:23.080
 we had a

00:22:23.080 --> 00:22:23.880
 typhoon last

00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:24.160
 week.

00:22:24.840 --> 00:22:25.279
 And actually,

00:22:25.500 --> 00:22:25.799
 to me,

00:22:25.840 --> 00:22:26.200
 that sounded

00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:27.240
 in some ways

00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:28.039
 quite exciting.

00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:30.559
 because we

00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:31.240
 have this

00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:31.740
 river near

00:22:31.740 --> 00:22:32.240
 our house

00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:32.579
 and the

00:22:32.579 --> 00:22:33.099
 water level

00:22:33.099 --> 00:22:33.659
 would rise

00:22:33.659 --> 00:22:34.240
 by four

00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:34.920
 meters and

00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:35.339
 flood all

00:22:35.339 --> 00:22:35.759
 the cycling

00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:36.139
 paths.

00:22:36.740 --> 00:22:37.039
 I think

00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:37.240
 that would

00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:37.519
 be really

00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:37.960
 cool to

00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:38.200
 see.

00:22:39.399 --> 00:22:39.720
 So,

00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:40.200
 maybe,

00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:41.279
 what will

00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:41.559
 I do?

00:22:42.019 --> 00:22:42.559
 Shall I

00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:42.960
 build a

00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:43.420
 hut next

00:22:43.420 --> 00:22:43.659
 to the

00:22:43.659 --> 00:22:44.159
 riverbank

00:22:44.159 --> 00:22:44.559
 and just

00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:45.220
 go and

00:22:45.220 --> 00:22:45.519
 see what

00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:45.940
 it's like?

00:22:46.019 --> 00:22:46.339
 I'd love

00:22:46.339 --> 00:22:46.619
 to see

00:22:46.619 --> 00:22:46.779
 that,

00:22:46.819 --> 00:22:46.940
 right?

00:22:47.940 --> 00:22:48.220
 Well,

00:22:48.259 --> 00:22:48.539
 my guess

00:22:48.539 --> 00:22:48.899
 is if I

00:22:48.899 --> 00:22:49.259
 would do

00:22:49.259 --> 00:22:49.500
 that,

00:22:49.940 --> 00:22:50.220
 I think

00:22:50.220 --> 00:22:50.659
 the police

00:22:50.659 --> 00:22:51.059
 would come

00:22:51.059 --> 00:22:51.379
 and knock

00:22:51.379 --> 00:22:52.139
 on the

00:22:52.139 --> 00:22:52.500
 hut and

00:22:52.500 --> 00:22:52.940
 tell me,

00:22:53.139 --> 00:22:53.279
 hey,

00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:53.700
 we want

00:22:53.700 --> 00:22:53.940
 to bring

00:22:53.940 --> 00:22:54.180
 you to

00:22:54.180 --> 00:22:54.339
 a

00:22:54.339 --> 00:22:54.659
 shelter.

00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:56.720
 Now,

00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:57.299
 in a

00:22:57.299 --> 00:22:57.440
 way,

00:22:57.519 --> 00:22:57.700
 it's a

00:22:57.700 --> 00:22:57.960
 nice

00:22:57.960 --> 00:22:58.380
 offer,

00:22:59.140 --> 00:23:00.440
 but it's

00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:00.720
 a bit

00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:01.220
 humbling,

00:23:01.299 --> 00:23:01.519
 right?

00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:02.740
 Because they

00:23:02.740 --> 00:23:03.339
 are thinking

00:23:03.339 --> 00:23:03.799
 that my

00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:04.200
 hut will

00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:04.819
 not withstand

00:23:04.819 --> 00:23:05.319
 a T10.

00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:06.740
 They are

00:23:06.740 --> 00:23:07.380
 having doubts

00:23:07.380 --> 00:23:07.860
 about my

00:23:07.860 --> 00:23:08.259
 superior

00:23:08.259 --> 00:23:08.779
 engineering

00:23:08.779 --> 00:23:09.220
 skills,

00:23:09.700 --> 00:23:09.960
 right?

00:23:11.259 --> 00:23:12.000
 If I'm

00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:12.440
 proud of

00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:12.740
 what I've

00:23:12.740 --> 00:23:13.420
 done and

00:23:13.420 --> 00:23:13.839
 they tell

00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:14.059
 me,

00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:14.440
 actually,

00:23:14.940 --> 00:23:15.299
 come,

00:23:15.360 --> 00:23:15.600
 you need

00:23:15.600 --> 00:23:15.940
 help,

00:23:17.299 --> 00:23:18.180
 I don't

00:23:18.180 --> 00:23:18.539
 want to

00:23:18.539 --> 00:23:18.980
 hear that.

00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:20.019
 So,

00:23:20.140 --> 00:23:20.380
 if I'm

00:23:20.380 --> 00:23:21.019
 humble and

00:23:21.019 --> 00:23:21.420
 accept,

00:23:21.940 --> 00:23:22.100
 yeah,

00:23:22.900 --> 00:23:23.339
 accepting

00:23:23.339 --> 00:23:23.980
 rescue means

00:23:23.980 --> 00:23:24.240
 you need

00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:24.460
 to be

00:23:24.460 --> 00:23:24.700
 humble.

00:23:25.380 --> 00:23:25.740
 You need

00:23:25.740 --> 00:23:26.500
 to accept

00:23:26.500 --> 00:23:26.680
 that,

00:23:26.740 --> 00:23:27.000
 actually,

00:23:27.299 --> 00:23:27.920
 I need

00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:28.180
 help,

00:23:28.220 --> 00:23:28.539
 I can't

00:23:28.539 --> 00:23:28.720
 save

00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:29.059
 myself,

00:23:29.140 --> 00:23:29.279
 I'm

00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:29.400
 in

00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:29.660
 trouble.

00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:31.099
 And if

00:23:31.099 --> 00:23:31.339
 you don't

00:23:31.339 --> 00:23:31.579
 want to

00:23:31.579 --> 00:23:31.940
 accept

00:23:31.940 --> 00:23:32.160
 that,

00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:32.420
 yeah,

00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:33.680
 then it's

00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:34.180
 offensive,

00:23:34.460 --> 00:23:35.839
 because that

00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:36.579
 is how people

00:23:36.579 --> 00:23:37.059
 respond,

00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:37.359
 right?

00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:38.519
 Again,

00:23:39.220 --> 00:23:39.740
 the result,

00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:39.980
 yeah,

00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:40.319
 is this

00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:40.819
 mass

00:23:40.819 --> 00:23:42.079
 departure,

00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:42.859
 right?

00:23:42.859 --> 00:23:43.420
 Because then

00:23:43.420 --> 00:23:44.019
 what happens

00:23:44.019 --> 00:23:45.619
 after he's

00:23:45.619 --> 00:23:46.099
 talking about

00:23:46.099 --> 00:23:46.579
 his death

00:23:46.579 --> 00:23:47.019
 and the

00:23:47.019 --> 00:23:47.380
 cross,

00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:48.240
 well,

00:23:48.299 --> 00:23:48.660
 many of

00:23:48.660 --> 00:23:49.180
 his disciples

00:23:49.180 --> 00:23:49.759
 leave him,

00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:50.400
 verse 60,

00:23:50.859 --> 00:23:51.299
 that is a

00:23:51.299 --> 00:23:51.960
 hard saying.

00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:53.240
 Jesus says,

00:23:53.339 --> 00:23:53.480
 well,

00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:54.380
 are you

00:23:54.380 --> 00:23:55.000
 offended by

00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:55.259
 this,

00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:55.460
 right?

00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:56.259
 Verse 61,

00:23:56.500 --> 00:23:57.019
 do you

00:23:57.019 --> 00:23:57.519
 take offense

00:23:57.519 --> 00:23:58.000
 at this?

00:23:58.140 --> 00:23:58.599
 He says,

00:23:58.720 --> 00:23:58.980
 it's going

00:23:58.980 --> 00:23:59.240
 to get

00:23:59.240 --> 00:23:59.960
 even worse,

00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:00.839
 right?

00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:01.559
 He's just

00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:01.940
 said he's

00:24:01.940 --> 00:24:02.160
 going to

00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:02.460
 die.

00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:02.799
 Actually,

00:24:02.859 --> 00:24:03.059
 he's going

00:24:03.059 --> 00:24:03.519
 to die a

00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:04.059
 criminal's

00:24:04.059 --> 00:24:04.480
 death on

00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:04.859
 the cross

00:24:04.859 --> 00:24:05.200
 by the

00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:05.500
 Romans.

00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:05.759
 It's going

00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:05.960
 to get

00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:06.579
 even worse.

00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:07.680
 But,

00:24:07.819 --> 00:24:08.259
 you know,

00:24:08.299 --> 00:24:08.599
 it's the

00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:09.339
 only way.

00:24:09.539 --> 00:24:10.119
 Verse 63,

00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:10.979
 it's the

00:24:10.979 --> 00:24:11.619
 spirit who

00:24:11.619 --> 00:24:12.259
 gives life.

00:24:12.739 --> 00:24:12.899
 The

00:24:12.899 --> 00:24:13.459
 flesh is

00:24:13.459 --> 00:24:14.159
 no help

00:24:14.159 --> 00:24:14.639
 at all.

00:24:15.439 --> 00:24:15.559
 The

00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:15.839
 words that

00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:16.279
 I've spoken

00:24:16.279 --> 00:24:16.599
 to you

00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:17.159
 are spirit

00:24:17.159 --> 00:24:17.799
 and life.

00:24:18.399 --> 00:24:18.799
 And flesh

00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:19.359
 here doesn't

00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:20.439
 mean flesh

00:24:20.439 --> 00:24:20.839
 as in

00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:21.139
 Jesus'

00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:21.519
 flesh.

00:24:21.639 --> 00:24:21.859
 Flesh

00:24:21.859 --> 00:24:23.099
 means human

00:24:23.099 --> 00:24:23.559
 effort,

00:24:23.699 --> 00:24:24.299
 often in

00:24:24.299 --> 00:24:24.679
 the Bible.

00:24:25.579 --> 00:24:25.979
 And so,

00:24:26.239 --> 00:24:27.099
 human effort

00:24:27.099 --> 00:24:28.719
 is no help

00:24:28.719 --> 00:24:29.079
 at all.

00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:30.239
 You can't

00:24:30.239 --> 00:24:30.899
 save yourself,

00:24:30.979 --> 00:24:31.339
 he's saying,

00:24:31.439 --> 00:24:31.579
 right?

00:24:31.619 --> 00:24:32.079
 The only

00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:33.179
 way is

00:24:33.179 --> 00:24:33.779
 through this

00:24:33.779 --> 00:24:34.239
 message that

00:24:34.239 --> 00:24:34.699
 I'm preaching

00:24:34.699 --> 00:24:35.199
 to you,

00:24:35.899 --> 00:24:36.119
 right?

00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:37.079
 that's how

00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:37.319
 you can

00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:37.459
 have

00:24:37.459 --> 00:24:37.939
 spiritual

00:24:37.939 --> 00:24:38.500
 life,

00:24:38.579 --> 00:24:38.839
 but you

00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:40.599
 can't help

00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:41.059
 yourself.

00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:42.079
 There's

00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:42.459
 nothing you

00:24:42.459 --> 00:24:42.839
 can do

00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:43.279
 by your

00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:43.579
 human

00:24:43.579 --> 00:24:43.939
 efforts.

00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:44.379
 You need

00:24:44.379 --> 00:24:44.739
 me.

00:24:45.419 --> 00:24:45.919
 But they

00:24:45.919 --> 00:24:46.500
 don't believe

00:24:46.500 --> 00:24:46.699
 it.

00:24:46.919 --> 00:24:47.139
 And so,

00:24:47.259 --> 00:24:47.979
 verse 66,

00:24:48.419 --> 00:24:49.079
 many of

00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:50.059
 them walk

00:24:50.059 --> 00:24:50.500
 away,

00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:51.039
 and they

00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:51.619
 turn back

00:24:51.619 --> 00:24:52.019
 and no

00:24:52.019 --> 00:24:52.339
 longer

00:24:52.339 --> 00:24:52.839
 walk with

00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:53.000
 him.

00:24:53.399 --> 00:24:53.599
 They

00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:54.219
 decisively

00:24:54.219 --> 00:24:54.679
 reject

00:24:54.679 --> 00:24:54.979
 Jesus.

00:24:55.059 --> 00:24:55.399
 Only a

00:24:55.399 --> 00:24:55.579
 few

00:24:55.579 --> 00:24:55.959
 remain,

00:24:56.639 --> 00:24:57.039
 including

00:24:57.039 --> 00:24:57.500
 his 12

00:24:57.500 --> 00:24:57.899
 closest

00:24:57.899 --> 00:24:58.299
 followers.

00:24:59.359 --> 00:24:59.799
 And why?

00:25:00.819 --> 00:25:01.079
 Well,

00:25:01.179 --> 00:25:02.879
 they know

00:25:02.879 --> 00:25:03.239
 what Jesus

00:25:03.239 --> 00:25:03.659
 came to

00:25:03.659 --> 00:25:03.859
 bring,

00:25:03.919 --> 00:25:04.079
 right?

00:25:04.219 --> 00:25:04.439
 He

00:25:04.439 --> 00:25:04.839
 asked them,

00:25:04.919 --> 00:25:05.000
 hey,

00:25:05.079 --> 00:25:05.679
 do you also

00:25:05.679 --> 00:25:05.979
 want to

00:25:05.980 --> 00:25:06.200
 leave?

00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:06.880
 Verse 68,

00:25:07.460 --> 00:25:08.099
 Simon Peter

00:25:08.099 --> 00:25:08.759
 answered him,

00:25:09.180 --> 00:25:09.400
 Lord,

00:25:09.500 --> 00:25:09.819
 to whom

00:25:09.819 --> 00:25:10.240
 shall we

00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:10.519
 go?

00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:11.680
 You have

00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:12.140
 the words

00:25:12.140 --> 00:25:12.640
 of eternal

00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:13.099
 life.

00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:14.299
 Why do we

00:25:14.299 --> 00:25:14.779
 want eternal

00:25:14.779 --> 00:25:15.200
 life?

00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:15.759
 And where

00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:16.099
 can we

00:25:16.099 --> 00:25:16.539
 find it?

00:25:16.539 --> 00:25:17.039
 Only in

00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:17.259
 you.

00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:18.200
 That's what

00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:18.839
 they believe.

00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:19.480
 And that's

00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:19.740
 what they

00:25:19.740 --> 00:25:20.200
 hold on to.

00:25:20.259 --> 00:25:20.559
 And that's

00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:21.640
 why they

00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:22.140
 stay with

00:25:22.140 --> 00:25:22.500
 Jesus.

00:25:24.460 --> 00:25:24.779
 But now,

00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:25.160
 what should

00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:25.599
 we do

00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:25.960
 with this?

00:25:26.019 --> 00:25:26.420
 I hope

00:25:26.420 --> 00:25:26.680
 you can

00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:27.019
 see,

00:25:27.339 --> 00:25:27.819
 basically,

00:25:27.940 --> 00:25:28.099
 yeah,

00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:28.480
 it's the

00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:29.920
 negative

00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:30.339
 end to

00:25:30.339 --> 00:25:30.799
 this speech,

00:25:30.860 --> 00:25:31.000
 right?

00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:31.559
 This great,

00:25:31.980 --> 00:25:32.680
 the first

00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:33.240
 big gospel

00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:33.920
 explanation

00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:35.480
 in John,

00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:35.980
 and yet,

00:25:36.220 --> 00:25:37.019
 yeah,

00:25:37.460 --> 00:25:38.000
 so many

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:38.480
 people go

00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:38.839
 away.

00:25:40.360 --> 00:25:40.579
 Well,

00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:40.960
 I want to

00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:41.339
 put a few

00:25:41.339 --> 00:25:41.960
 questions on

00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:42.140
 the screen.

00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:42.539
 I guess the

00:25:42.539 --> 00:25:43.099
 first one,

00:25:43.819 --> 00:25:44.120
 I mean,

00:25:44.660 --> 00:25:45.059
 that's what

00:25:45.059 --> 00:25:45.319
 Jesus'

00:25:45.500 --> 00:25:45.779
 question,

00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:46.000
 right?

00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:46.500
 So we have

00:25:46.500 --> 00:25:46.940
 to ask it,

00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:47.500
 will you

00:25:47.500 --> 00:25:48.579
 believe?

00:25:49.180 --> 00:25:49.539
 Will you

00:25:49.539 --> 00:25:49.799
 believe?

00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:50.399
 Jesus is

00:25:50.399 --> 00:25:51.419
 offering eternal

00:25:51.419 --> 00:25:51.839
 life,

00:25:51.919 --> 00:25:52.019
 right?

00:25:52.059 --> 00:25:52.519
 Don't miss

00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:52.720
 this.

00:25:52.819 --> 00:25:53.180
 We can

00:25:53.180 --> 00:25:53.639
 focus on

00:25:53.639 --> 00:25:53.940
 the bad

00:25:53.940 --> 00:25:54.419
 reaction,

00:25:54.980 --> 00:25:55.879
 but look

00:25:55.879 --> 00:25:56.339
 what Jesus

00:25:56.339 --> 00:25:56.700
 says,

00:25:56.740 --> 00:25:57.059
 you can

00:25:57.059 --> 00:25:57.639
 have eternal

00:25:57.639 --> 00:25:58.180
 life.

00:25:58.720 --> 00:25:59.200
 There's no

00:25:59.200 --> 00:25:59.680
 other way,

00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:00.099
 you can't

00:26:00.099 --> 00:26:00.639
 help yourself,

00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:01.159
 but I've

00:26:01.159 --> 00:26:01.759
 come to

00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:02.740
 rescue you,

00:26:02.819 --> 00:26:03.240
 I've come

00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:03.680
 down from

00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:03.980
 heaven,

00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:04.859
 and I'm

00:26:04.859 --> 00:26:05.059
 going to

00:26:05.059 --> 00:26:05.480
 die for

00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:05.700
 you.

00:26:05.919 --> 00:26:06.240
 And for

00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:06.480
 us now,

00:26:06.539 --> 00:26:07.019
 he has

00:26:07.019 --> 00:26:07.440
 done that,

00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:07.639
 right?

00:26:08.460 --> 00:26:09.059
 Such a

00:26:09.059 --> 00:26:09.659
 huge effort.

00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:10.319
 I mean,

00:26:10.339 --> 00:26:10.720
 he wouldn't

00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:11.220
 do that if

00:26:11.220 --> 00:26:11.599
 it wasn't

00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:12.159
 necessary.

00:26:13.259 --> 00:26:13.859
 So if you

00:26:13.859 --> 00:26:14.399
 are here,

00:26:14.859 --> 00:26:15.500
 do you

00:26:15.500 --> 00:26:16.019
 believe what

00:26:16.019 --> 00:26:16.559
 he says?

00:26:17.460 --> 00:26:17.899
 Do you

00:26:17.899 --> 00:26:18.679
 believe that

00:26:18.679 --> 00:26:19.980
 actually you

00:26:19.980 --> 00:26:20.720
 need Jesus?

00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:21.279
 That,

00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:22.679
 yeah,

00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:23.359
 well,

00:26:24.339 --> 00:26:24.859
 then there is

00:26:24.859 --> 00:26:25.279
 a wonderful

00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:25.859
 offer here,

00:26:25.940 --> 00:26:26.720
 that you

00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:27.139
 can have

00:26:27.139 --> 00:26:27.839
 eternal life.

00:26:27.919 --> 00:26:28.220
 You just

00:26:28.220 --> 00:26:28.519
 have to

00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:28.940
 come to

00:26:28.940 --> 00:26:29.159
 him,

00:26:29.539 --> 00:26:29.899
 you just

00:26:29.899 --> 00:26:30.179
 have to

00:26:30.179 --> 00:26:30.799
 rely on

00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:31.099
 what he

00:26:31.099 --> 00:26:31.419
 did on

00:26:31.419 --> 00:26:31.819
 the cross,

00:26:31.940 --> 00:26:32.279
 on his

00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:32.579
 death,

00:26:33.460 --> 00:26:33.899
 and you

00:26:33.899 --> 00:26:34.399
 can be

00:26:34.399 --> 00:26:34.940
 forgiven,

00:26:35.079 --> 00:26:35.339
 you can

00:26:35.339 --> 00:26:35.779
 be back

00:26:35.779 --> 00:26:36.299
 with God,

00:26:36.379 --> 00:26:36.639
 you can

00:26:36.639 --> 00:26:37.240
 have eternal

00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:38.720
 life that

00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:39.599
 starts now

00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:39.919
 in your

00:26:39.919 --> 00:26:40.659
 new relationship

00:26:40.659 --> 00:26:41.279
 and then,

00:26:41.679 --> 00:26:41.799
 yeah,

00:26:41.940 --> 00:26:42.519
 raised up on

00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:42.940
 the last

00:26:42.940 --> 00:26:43.339
 day,

00:26:43.659 --> 00:26:43.919
 that will

00:26:43.919 --> 00:26:44.659
 last forever,

00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:45.319
 right?

00:26:45.399 --> 00:26:46.099
 You just

00:26:46.099 --> 00:26:46.539
 need to

00:26:46.539 --> 00:26:47.079
 pray and

00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:47.459
 come to

00:26:47.459 --> 00:26:47.679
 him,

00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:48.359
 and Jesus

00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:48.719
 says you

00:26:48.719 --> 00:26:49.339
 really need

00:26:49.339 --> 00:26:49.559
 it.

00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:52.179
 Please do

00:26:52.179 --> 00:26:52.539
 that if

00:26:52.539 --> 00:26:52.919
 you're not,

00:26:53.539 --> 00:26:53.679
 yeah,

00:26:53.919 --> 00:26:55.319
 if that's

00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:55.679
 you,

00:26:55.779 --> 00:26:56.139
 but yet,

00:26:57.079 --> 00:26:57.379
 at the

00:26:57.379 --> 00:26:57.759
 same time,

00:26:58.379 --> 00:26:59.159
 this chapter

00:26:59.159 --> 00:26:59.619
 would ask

00:26:59.619 --> 00:26:59.799
 us,

00:26:59.899 --> 00:27:00.039
 well,

00:27:00.099 --> 00:27:00.419
 if not,

00:27:00.500 --> 00:27:00.959
 why not?

00:27:01.980 --> 00:27:02.459
 Because this

00:27:02.459 --> 00:27:02.959
 chapter is

00:27:02.959 --> 00:27:03.500
 about people

00:27:03.500 --> 00:27:04.039
 who don't

00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:04.459
 believe,

00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:05.639
 and it's

00:27:05.639 --> 00:27:06.219
 not because

00:27:06.219 --> 00:27:06.699
 they lacked

00:27:06.699 --> 00:27:07.179
 a miracle,

00:27:07.339 --> 00:27:07.619
 they had

00:27:07.619 --> 00:27:08.139
 this amazing

00:27:08.139 --> 00:27:08.519
 miracle,

00:27:09.639 --> 00:27:09.819
 right?

00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:10.179
 It's not

00:27:10.179 --> 00:27:10.579
 that they've

00:27:10.579 --> 00:27:11.059
 never met

00:27:11.059 --> 00:27:11.459
 Jesus.

00:27:11.919 --> 00:27:12.439
 I hear other

00:27:12.439 --> 00:27:12.899
 people say

00:27:12.899 --> 00:27:13.039
 that,

00:27:13.099 --> 00:27:13.199
 yeah,

00:27:13.219 --> 00:27:13.579
 if I could

00:27:13.579 --> 00:27:14.019
 just meet

00:27:14.019 --> 00:27:14.399
 Jesus

00:27:14.399 --> 00:27:14.919
 personally,

00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:15.279
 then I'll

00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:15.659
 believe.

00:27:16.099 --> 00:27:16.759
 These people,

00:27:16.859 --> 00:27:17.139
 they met

00:27:17.139 --> 00:27:17.419
 Jesus

00:27:17.419 --> 00:27:17.899
 personally.

00:27:19.259 --> 00:27:20.059
 It didn't

00:27:20.059 --> 00:27:20.419
 help,

00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:21.079
 right?

00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:22.759
 No,

00:27:22.819 --> 00:27:23.199
 the problem

00:27:23.199 --> 00:27:23.699
 was not

00:27:23.699 --> 00:27:24.579
 Jesus,

00:27:24.699 --> 00:27:25.019
 the problem

00:27:25.019 --> 00:27:25.500
 was not

00:27:25.500 --> 00:27:26.719
 the miracle,

00:27:27.259 --> 00:27:28.000
 it's the

00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:28.459
 message,

00:27:28.919 --> 00:27:29.119
 right?

00:27:29.199 --> 00:27:29.539
 People

00:27:29.539 --> 00:27:31.039
 don't want

00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:31.579
 to believe

00:27:31.579 --> 00:27:31.839
 this,

00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:32.659
 and I think

00:27:32.659 --> 00:27:33.240
 because it's

00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:33.719
 just a hard

00:27:33.719 --> 00:27:34.039
 message,

00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:34.619
 it's offensive

00:27:34.619 --> 00:27:35.879
 because of

00:27:35.879 --> 00:27:36.359
 what it says

00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:37.019
 about us,

00:27:37.579 --> 00:27:37.740
 right?

00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:38.039
 That's what

00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:38.500
 they struggle

00:27:38.500 --> 00:27:38.740
 with,

00:27:38.819 --> 00:27:39.039
 and we're

00:27:39.039 --> 00:27:39.539
 going to

00:27:39.539 --> 00:27:40.119
 see more

00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:40.399
 of that

00:27:40.399 --> 00:27:40.679
 in the

00:27:40.679 --> 00:27:40.959
 coming

00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:41.960
 two chapters.

00:27:43.220 --> 00:27:43.480
 Although

00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:44.200
 one surprise

00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:44.539
 that you

00:27:44.539 --> 00:27:45.160
 may have

00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:45.660
 if you're

00:27:45.660 --> 00:27:46.539
 thinking

00:27:46.539 --> 00:27:47.240
 about this,

00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:48.600
 the surprising

00:27:48.600 --> 00:27:49.180
 thing here

00:27:49.180 --> 00:27:49.539
 is that

00:27:49.539 --> 00:27:50.400
 Jesus'

00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:51.039
 audience,

00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:53.200
 right?

00:27:53.220 --> 00:27:53.640
 Because if

00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:54.100
 there's one

00:27:54.100 --> 00:27:55.220
 place you

00:27:55.220 --> 00:27:55.660
 would expect

00:27:55.660 --> 00:27:56.160
 a result,

00:27:56.340 --> 00:27:56.840
 well,

00:27:56.900 --> 00:27:57.180
 these are

00:27:57.180 --> 00:27:57.779
 Old Testament

00:27:57.779 --> 00:27:58.200
 Jews,

00:27:58.319 --> 00:27:58.460
 right?

00:27:58.519 --> 00:27:58.740
 They are

00:27:58.740 --> 00:27:59.100
 God's

00:27:59.100 --> 00:27:59.460
 historic

00:27:59.460 --> 00:27:59.920
 people.

00:28:00.819 --> 00:28:01.079
 I mean,

00:28:01.120 --> 00:28:01.480
 don't they

00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:02.120
 know this?

00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:03.279
 I mean,

00:28:03.299 --> 00:28:03.720
 if I go

00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:04.279
 here to,

00:28:04.579 --> 00:28:04.799
 you know,

00:28:04.860 --> 00:28:05.100
 I'm going

00:28:05.100 --> 00:28:05.400
 to stand

00:28:05.400 --> 00:28:05.700
 out at

00:28:05.700 --> 00:28:05.880
 Wong

00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:06.039
 Chuk

00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:06.240
 Hang

00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:06.680
 Station

00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:07.019
 and I'm

00:28:07.019 --> 00:28:07.120
 going to

00:28:07.120 --> 00:28:07.839
 tell people

00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:08.799
 Jesus is

00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:09.259
 the bread

00:28:09.259 --> 00:28:09.799
 of life.

00:28:09.980 --> 00:28:10.400
 You need

00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:10.759
 to eat

00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:11.480
 his flesh

00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:12.279
 and then

00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:12.579
 you'll be

00:28:12.579 --> 00:28:12.960
 raised on

00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:13.319
 the last

00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:13.640
 day.

00:28:15.579 --> 00:28:16.259
 People will

00:28:16.259 --> 00:28:16.799
 look at me

00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:17.059
 very,

00:28:17.339 --> 00:28:17.599
 like,

00:28:17.819 --> 00:28:18.160
 what are you

00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:18.880
 talking about,

00:28:18.940 --> 00:28:19.079
 right?

00:28:19.099 --> 00:28:19.720
 Because people

00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:20.539
 have no idea.

00:28:20.620 --> 00:28:20.980
 But these

00:28:20.980 --> 00:28:21.400
 people,

00:28:21.819 --> 00:28:22.480
 they knew,

00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:23.079
 right?

00:28:23.140 --> 00:28:23.680
 They know

00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:24.160
 the Bible,

00:28:24.420 --> 00:28:24.799
 they know

00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:25.259
 about sin,

00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:25.559
 they know

00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:26.120
 about judgment,

00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:26.460
 they know

00:28:26.460 --> 00:28:27.259
 about sacrifices,

00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:27.980
 they know

00:28:27.980 --> 00:28:28.339
 about the

00:28:28.339 --> 00:28:28.680
 Exodus,

00:28:28.819 --> 00:28:29.140
 they've been

00:28:29.140 --> 00:28:29.960
 celebrating it

00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:30.279
 since they

00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:30.859
 were born,

00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:31.740
 like every

00:28:31.740 --> 00:28:32.160
 day,

00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:32.819
 every month,

00:28:32.980 --> 00:28:33.140
 right?

00:28:33.579 --> 00:28:34.380
 Big festivals

00:28:34.380 --> 00:28:34.980
 every year.

00:28:35.620 --> 00:28:35.980
 And yet,

00:28:35.980 --> 00:28:36.519
 these people

00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:36.839
 are not

00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:37.440
 interested in

00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:37.680
 Jesus'

00:28:37.819 --> 00:28:37.980
 offer.

00:28:39.180 --> 00:28:39.740
 How can

00:28:39.740 --> 00:28:40.079
 it be?

00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:40.680
 How can

00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:41.339
 people with

00:28:41.339 --> 00:28:41.940
 so much

00:28:41.940 --> 00:28:42.460
 background,

00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:43.960
 you know,

00:28:43.980 --> 00:28:44.380
 maybe some

00:28:44.380 --> 00:28:44.720
 of us,

00:28:44.779 --> 00:28:44.940
 right?

00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:45.420
 You know,

00:28:45.460 --> 00:28:45.880
 some of us

00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:46.420
 grow up in

00:28:46.420 --> 00:28:46.759
 church,

00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:49.360
 and so

00:28:49.360 --> 00:28:49.900
 much background,

00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:50.620
 and yet,

00:28:51.259 --> 00:28:51.980
 people don't

00:28:51.980 --> 00:28:52.339
 believe.

00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:53.019
 That's surprising,

00:28:53.099 --> 00:28:53.259
 right?

00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:54.559
 Now,

00:28:54.740 --> 00:28:55.059
 again,

00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:55.620
 that's going

00:28:55.620 --> 00:28:56.240
 to come up

00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:56.720
 more and

00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:57.000
 more,

00:28:57.140 --> 00:28:57.380
 you know,

00:28:57.440 --> 00:28:57.940
 I want to

00:28:57.940 --> 00:28:58.360
 have it in

00:28:58.360 --> 00:28:58.819
 our minds,

00:28:58.900 --> 00:28:59.019
 hey,

00:28:59.079 --> 00:28:59.460
 what's going

00:28:59.460 --> 00:28:59.799
 on?

00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:00.819
 So that the

00:29:00.819 --> 00:29:01.279
 next few

00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:01.579
 weeks,

00:29:01.620 --> 00:29:02.539
 we can look

00:29:02.539 --> 00:29:02.819
 at that

00:29:02.819 --> 00:29:03.160
 more.

00:29:04.180 --> 00:29:04.680
 I guess

00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:05.059
 there's some

00:29:05.059 --> 00:29:05.480
 hints you

00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:05.900
 can see.

00:29:06.019 --> 00:29:06.740
 Maybe you

00:29:06.740 --> 00:29:07.200
 picked it up

00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:07.500
 in the

00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:07.900
 reading.

00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:08.920
 Ultimately,

00:29:09.120 --> 00:29:09.440
 that's because

00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:09.900
 people are

00:29:09.900 --> 00:29:10.339
 saved by

00:29:10.339 --> 00:29:11.059
 God's work,

00:29:11.140 --> 00:29:11.319
 right?

00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:12.660
 Verse 44,

00:29:12.860 --> 00:29:13.440
 Jesus says,

00:29:13.539 --> 00:29:13.640
 well,

00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:14.220
 no one can

00:29:14.220 --> 00:29:14.640
 come to

00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:15.420
 me unless

00:29:15.420 --> 00:29:15.900
 the Father

00:29:15.900 --> 00:29:16.319
 who sent

00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:16.779
 me draws

00:29:16.779 --> 00:29:17.019
 him.

00:29:18.019 --> 00:29:18.779
 Verse 65,

00:29:18.900 --> 00:29:19.299
 this is why I

00:29:19.299 --> 00:29:19.740
 told you that

00:29:19.740 --> 00:29:20.220
 no one can

00:29:20.220 --> 00:29:20.720
 come to me

00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:21.079
 unless it's

00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:21.500
 granted to

00:29:21.500 --> 00:29:21.920
 him by the

00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:22.220
 Father.

00:29:22.220 --> 00:29:24.500
 God needs

00:29:24.500 --> 00:29:24.940
 to be at

00:29:24.940 --> 00:29:25.200
 work.

00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:25.640
 God needs

00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:24.940
 to be at

00:29:24.940 --> 00:29:25.200
 work,

00:29:25.299 --> 00:29:25.579
 and otherwise

00:29:25.579 --> 00:29:26.279
 people can't

00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:26.700
 believe,

00:29:27.339 --> 00:29:27.740
 is what it

00:29:27.740 --> 00:29:27.960
 says.

00:29:28.059 --> 00:29:29.180
 That's a big

00:29:29.180 --> 00:29:29.940
 topic behind

00:29:29.940 --> 00:29:31.220
 their predestination.

00:29:31.360 --> 00:29:31.680
 I'm not going

00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:32.120
 to go into

00:29:32.120 --> 00:29:32.380
 that.

00:29:32.940 --> 00:29:33.299
 Again,

00:29:33.339 --> 00:29:33.559
 we're going

00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:34.160
 to see more

00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:34.420
 over the

00:29:34.420 --> 00:29:34.900
 coming weeks,

00:29:34.980 --> 00:29:35.299
 although if

00:29:35.299 --> 00:29:36.440
 there's something

00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:36.900
 you struggle

00:29:36.900 --> 00:29:37.140
 with,

00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:37.500
 please come

00:29:37.500 --> 00:29:37.779
 and talk

00:29:37.779 --> 00:29:38.019
 to me.

00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:38.259
 I'd love

00:29:38.259 --> 00:29:38.559
 to help

00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:38.720
 you.

00:29:40.360 --> 00:29:40.920
 The interesting

00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:41.180
 thing,

00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:41.319
 though,

00:29:41.339 --> 00:29:41.980
 is that it

00:29:41.980 --> 00:29:42.480
 means Jesus

00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:42.900
 is not

00:29:42.900 --> 00:29:43.299
 worried.

00:29:44.019 --> 00:29:44.519
 He had

00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:45.240
 15,000

00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:45.900
 people there,

00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:46.240
 now he's

00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:46.759
 got 12,

00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:48.620
 and yet he's

00:29:48.620 --> 00:29:49.019
 not worried.

00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:51.680
 He doesn't

00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:52.060
 panic.

00:29:52.660 --> 00:29:53.160
 He says,

00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:53.580
 I'm working

00:29:53.580 --> 00:29:53.980
 with my

00:29:53.980 --> 00:29:54.279
 father,

00:29:54.360 --> 00:29:54.560
 and I

00:29:54.560 --> 00:29:55.080
 trust him.

00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:56.160
 I guess

00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:56.320
 that's

00:29:56.320 --> 00:29:56.740
 something we

00:29:56.740 --> 00:29:57.060
 can do

00:29:57.060 --> 00:29:57.400
 as well.

00:29:57.480 --> 00:29:57.759
 Maybe,

00:29:58.019 --> 00:29:59.019
 I hope this

00:29:59.019 --> 00:29:59.340
 place will

00:29:59.340 --> 00:29:59.759
 be filled

00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:00.200
 with people

00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:00.600
 from Wong

00:30:00.600 --> 00:30:00.880
 Chukang.

00:30:01.860 --> 00:30:02.539
 Maybe it

00:30:02.539 --> 00:30:02.779
 won't.

00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:03.880
 We should

00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:04.380
 trust God

00:30:04.380 --> 00:30:04.759
 with that.

00:30:06.140 --> 00:30:06.539
 But I

00:30:06.539 --> 00:30:07.039
 think this

00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:07.460
 is not

00:30:07.460 --> 00:30:08.240
 just about

00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:09.600
 other people.

00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:11.340
 I think

00:30:11.340 --> 00:30:11.860
 the interesting

00:30:11.860 --> 00:30:12.519
 thing is

00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:14.380
 he shifts

00:30:14.380 --> 00:30:14.759
 from the

00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:15.279
 Jews to

00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:15.960
 the

00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:16.539
 disciples,

00:30:16.820 --> 00:30:17.360
 when many

00:30:17.360 --> 00:30:17.779
 of his

00:30:17.779 --> 00:30:18.400
 disciples

00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:18.940
 heard it.

00:30:20.600 --> 00:30:21.120
 After

00:30:21.120 --> 00:30:21.320
 this,

00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:21.660
 many of

00:30:21.660 --> 00:30:21.880
 his

00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:22.500
 disciples

00:30:22.500 --> 00:30:23.420
 turned

00:30:23.420 --> 00:30:23.640
 back.

00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:24.019
 So these

00:30:24.019 --> 00:30:24.540
 are people

00:30:24.540 --> 00:30:25.120
 who were

00:30:25.120 --> 00:30:25.640
 following

00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:25.940
 him.

00:30:27.120 --> 00:30:27.620
 These were

00:30:27.620 --> 00:30:28.240
 not people

00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:29.680
 who reject

00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:29.920
 him,

00:30:30.040 --> 00:30:30.880
 who haven't.

00:30:31.400 --> 00:30:31.840
 They're

00:30:31.840 --> 00:30:32.360
 people who

00:30:32.360 --> 00:30:33.200
 follow

00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:34.180
 Jesus.

00:30:34.300 --> 00:30:34.700
 They've

00:30:34.700 --> 00:30:35.380
 seen

00:30:35.380 --> 00:30:35.800
 Jesus,

00:30:36.140 --> 00:30:38.200
 but now

00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:38.600
 they walk

00:30:38.600 --> 00:30:38.920
 away.

00:30:39.420 --> 00:30:40.240
 Maybe the

00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:40.560
 equivalent

00:30:40.560 --> 00:30:40.900
 would be

00:30:40.900 --> 00:30:41.300
 people who

00:30:41.300 --> 00:30:41.640
 come to

00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:41.900
 church,

00:30:41.940 --> 00:30:42.140
 and they're

00:30:42.140 --> 00:30:42.360
 part of

00:30:42.360 --> 00:30:42.759
 the church,

00:30:43.300 --> 00:30:43.560
 and they

00:30:43.560 --> 00:30:43.779
 would say

00:30:43.779 --> 00:30:44.080
 they're a

00:30:44.080 --> 00:30:44.360
 Christian,

00:30:44.600 --> 00:30:45.220
 and yet at

00:30:45.220 --> 00:30:45.519
 some point

00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:46.060
 they walk

00:30:46.060 --> 00:30:46.380
 away.

00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:47.960
 So maybe

00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:48.440
 this is more

00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:48.740
 challenging

00:30:48.740 --> 00:30:49.340
 for us.

00:30:49.339 --> 00:30:51.240
 Jesus has

00:30:51.240 --> 00:30:51.579
 this good

00:30:51.579 --> 00:30:53.000
 question that

00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:53.439
 I think this

00:30:53.439 --> 00:30:54.000
 chapter would

00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:54.579
 raise.

00:30:55.099 --> 00:30:55.919
 He asks,

00:30:56.039 --> 00:30:56.279
 do you

00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:57.079
 take offense

00:30:57.079 --> 00:30:57.559
 at this?

00:30:58.619 --> 00:30:59.059
 Do we

00:30:59.059 --> 00:30:59.819
 find this

00:30:59.819 --> 00:31:00.679
 offensive?

00:31:01.679 --> 00:31:02.000
 Again,

00:31:02.059 --> 00:31:02.439
 if someone

00:31:02.439 --> 00:31:03.740
 asks if you

00:31:03.740 --> 00:31:04.339
 need help,

00:31:05.099 --> 00:31:05.480
 it kind of

00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:05.959
 applies that

00:31:05.959 --> 00:31:06.419
 you look like

00:31:06.419 --> 00:31:06.699
 you need

00:31:06.699 --> 00:31:06.959
 help.

00:31:07.959 --> 00:31:08.639
 Is that

00:31:08.639 --> 00:31:09.319
 something you

00:31:09.319 --> 00:31:10.359
 struggle with?

00:31:10.419 --> 00:31:10.879
 When Jesus

00:31:10.879 --> 00:31:11.240
 says,

00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:11.419
 well,

00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:13.319
 your efforts

00:31:13.319 --> 00:31:13.799
 helped

00:31:13.799 --> 00:31:14.439
 nothing.

00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:15.720
 We've

00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:16.059
 rejected

00:31:16.059 --> 00:31:16.420
 God,

00:31:16.500 --> 00:31:16.920
 we face

00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:17.180
 death,

00:31:17.220 --> 00:31:17.420
 and the

00:31:17.420 --> 00:31:17.880
 only one

00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:18.299
 who can

00:31:18.299 --> 00:31:18.460
 do

00:31:18.460 --> 00:31:18.820
 something

00:31:18.820 --> 00:31:19.120
 about

00:31:19.120 --> 00:31:19.240
 it

00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:19.380
 is

00:31:19.380 --> 00:31:19.640
 me.

00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:20.519
 I

00:31:20.519 --> 00:31:20.640
 have

00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:20.720
 to

00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:20.840
 come

00:31:20.840 --> 00:31:21.039
 down

00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:21.240
 from

00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:21.539
 heaven,

00:31:21.539 --> 00:31:21.840
 and I

00:31:21.840 --> 00:31:21.960
 have

00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:22.320
 to die

00:31:22.320 --> 00:31:22.660
 for you.

00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:22.860
 That's

00:31:22.860 --> 00:31:23.240
 the only

00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:24.059
 way you

00:31:24.059 --> 00:31:24.320
 can have

00:31:24.320 --> 00:31:24.539
 any

00:31:24.539 --> 00:31:24.880
 hope.

00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:26.380
 In a way,

00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:26.660
 that's so

00:31:26.660 --> 00:31:27.120
 depressing,

00:31:27.259 --> 00:31:27.420
 right?

00:31:27.600 --> 00:31:28.019
 But do

00:31:28.019 --> 00:31:28.460
 you say,

00:31:28.820 --> 00:31:29.019
 yes,

00:31:29.100 --> 00:31:29.580
 absolutely,

00:31:29.700 --> 00:31:29.920
 that's

00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:30.120
 me?

00:31:30.840 --> 00:31:31.140
 Or

00:31:31.140 --> 00:31:31.440
 actually,

00:31:31.539 --> 00:31:31.759
 do you

00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:32.220
 find it

00:31:32.220 --> 00:31:32.660
 just too

00:31:32.660 --> 00:31:33.039
 much?

00:31:34.460 --> 00:31:34.799
 And maybe

00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:35.140
 you're a

00:31:35.140 --> 00:31:35.660
 youth here,

00:31:35.700 --> 00:31:36.000
 and every

00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:36.539
 time it's

00:31:36.539 --> 00:31:37.240
 about Jesus,

00:31:37.539 --> 00:31:37.779
 every

00:31:37.779 --> 00:31:38.200
 time in

00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:38.500
 youth,

00:31:38.600 --> 00:31:39.200
 and you

00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:39.440
 get a

00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:39.759
 bit sick

00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:40.000
 of all

00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:40.299
 the talk

00:31:40.299 --> 00:31:40.880
 about sin,

00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:41.920
 and judgment,

00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:42.580
 and Jesus,

00:31:42.740 --> 00:31:42.920
 right?

00:31:44.120 --> 00:31:44.519
 Well,

00:31:45.940 --> 00:31:46.460
 maybe in

00:31:46.460 --> 00:31:46.900
 your CG,

00:31:47.100 --> 00:31:47.440
 it's always

00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:48.059
 about Jesus,

00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:48.299
 and you

00:31:48.299 --> 00:31:48.559
 get kind

00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:48.840
 of fed

00:31:48.840 --> 00:31:49.180
 up with

00:31:49.180 --> 00:31:49.340
 it,

00:31:49.380 --> 00:31:49.519
 right?

00:31:50.660 --> 00:31:51.140
 I mean,

00:31:51.340 --> 00:31:52.059
 that's a

00:31:52.059 --> 00:31:52.539
 good question.

00:31:53.019 --> 00:31:53.460
 What do

00:31:53.460 --> 00:31:53.860
 we think

00:31:53.860 --> 00:31:54.140
 of all

00:31:54.140 --> 00:31:54.500
 this talk?

00:31:54.559 --> 00:31:54.660
 Is

00:31:54.660 --> 00:31:54.779
 that

00:31:54.779 --> 00:31:55.039
 something

00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:55.380
 that we

00:31:55.380 --> 00:31:55.660
 can't

00:31:55.660 --> 00:31:55.799
 get

00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:56.100
 enough

00:31:56.100 --> 00:31:56.380
 of?

00:31:56.759 --> 00:31:57.080
 Or

00:31:57.080 --> 00:31:57.519
 actually,

00:31:58.180 --> 00:31:58.580
 you know,

00:31:58.980 --> 00:31:59.200
 hey,

00:31:59.279 --> 00:31:59.460
 man,

00:31:59.519 --> 00:31:59.920
 I've got

00:31:59.920 --> 00:32:00.340
 other things

00:32:00.340 --> 00:32:00.620
 in my

00:32:00.620 --> 00:32:00.860
 life.

00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:01.160
 Can we

00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:01.340
 talk

00:32:01.340 --> 00:32:01.539
 about

00:32:01.539 --> 00:32:01.720
 my

00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:02.080
 job?

00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:02.259
 You

00:32:02.259 --> 00:32:02.340
 know,

00:32:02.360 --> 00:32:02.539
 that's

00:32:02.539 --> 00:32:02.759
 a lot

00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:02.940
 more

00:32:02.940 --> 00:32:03.319
 relevant

00:32:03.319 --> 00:32:04.319
 than all

00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:04.679
 this stuff

00:32:04.679 --> 00:32:05.359
 about sin.

00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:07.000
 Well,

00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:07.399
 this chapter

00:32:07.399 --> 00:32:07.819
 would ask

00:32:07.819 --> 00:32:08.059
 us a

00:32:08.059 --> 00:32:08.439
 very good

00:32:08.439 --> 00:32:08.919
 question

00:32:08.919 --> 00:32:09.159
 then,

00:32:09.220 --> 00:32:09.480
 actually.

00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:11.059
 You know,

00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:11.919
 are we

00:32:11.919 --> 00:32:12.299
 here for

00:32:12.299 --> 00:32:12.740
 the rescue?

00:32:13.639 --> 00:32:13.899
 Because

00:32:13.899 --> 00:32:14.359
 Jesus,

00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:14.960
 in a way,

00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:15.779
 he says,

00:32:15.879 --> 00:32:16.179
 that's what

00:32:16.179 --> 00:32:16.539
 I've come

00:32:16.539 --> 00:32:16.960
 to do.

00:32:17.059 --> 00:32:17.259
 These

00:32:17.259 --> 00:32:17.720
 people,

00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:18.599
 they came

00:32:18.599 --> 00:32:18.879
 for the

00:32:18.879 --> 00:32:19.039
 wrong

00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:19.339
 thing,

00:32:20.259 --> 00:32:20.460
 right?

00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:21.279
 They saw

00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:22.039
 the healings

00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:22.419
 and thought,

00:32:22.500 --> 00:32:22.599
 yeah,

00:32:22.639 --> 00:32:23.000
 I want

00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:23.240
 that.

00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:24.000
 And they

00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:24.299
 followed

00:32:24.299 --> 00:32:24.740
 Jesus,

00:32:24.859 --> 00:32:25.119
 and they

00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:25.859
 got bread.

00:32:26.279 --> 00:32:26.639
 Yes,

00:32:26.679 --> 00:32:27.059
 I want

00:32:27.059 --> 00:32:27.259
 that.

00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:28.859
 But then

00:32:28.859 --> 00:32:29.299
 Jesus says,

00:32:29.359 --> 00:32:29.419
 well,

00:32:29.439 --> 00:32:29.679
 it's not

00:32:29.679 --> 00:32:30.079
 about the

00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:30.460
 healings,

00:32:30.460 --> 00:32:30.740
 it's not

00:32:30.740 --> 00:32:31.179
 about the

00:32:31.179 --> 00:32:31.419
 bread,

00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:31.720
 they're

00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:32.059
 just

00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:34.779
 that point

00:32:34.779 --> 00:32:35.220
 to me

00:32:35.220 --> 00:32:35.740
 and I've

00:32:35.740 --> 00:32:35.919
 come,

00:32:36.019 --> 00:32:36.220
 but the

00:32:36.220 --> 00:32:36.639
 real thing

00:32:36.639 --> 00:32:36.980
 is the

00:32:36.980 --> 00:32:37.359
 rescue.

00:32:38.679 --> 00:32:39.339
 But they

00:32:39.339 --> 00:32:39.980
 wanted

00:32:39.980 --> 00:32:40.779
 something else,

00:32:40.980 --> 00:32:41.200
 and that

00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:41.480
 is why

00:32:41.480 --> 00:32:41.879
 they thought

00:32:41.879 --> 00:32:43.139
 they don't

00:32:43.139 --> 00:32:43.639
 need rescue,

00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:44.000
 we want

00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:44.359
 this other

00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:44.639
 thing.

00:32:45.259 --> 00:32:45.839
 They just

00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:46.159
 need a

00:32:46.159 --> 00:32:46.539
 bread.

00:32:47.740 --> 00:32:47.939
 And so,

00:32:47.980 --> 00:32:48.079
 yeah,

00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:49.259
 if you know

00:32:49.259 --> 00:32:49.659
 you need

00:32:49.659 --> 00:32:50.099
 rescue,

00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:50.480
 if you

00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:51.059
 come here

00:32:51.059 --> 00:32:51.919
 because you

00:32:51.919 --> 00:32:52.460
 want Jesus

00:32:52.460 --> 00:32:52.960
 rescue,

00:32:53.099 --> 00:32:53.399
 then I

00:32:53.399 --> 00:32:54.259
 guess you

00:32:54.259 --> 00:32:54.740
 will want

00:32:54.740 --> 00:32:54.919
 this

00:32:54.919 --> 00:32:55.379
 teaching.

00:32:56.179 --> 00:32:56.579
 Well,

00:32:56.599 --> 00:32:56.819
 if you

00:32:56.819 --> 00:32:57.039
 want

00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:57.399
 something

00:32:57.399 --> 00:32:57.839
 else,

00:32:58.139 --> 00:32:58.379
 right?

00:32:59.339 --> 00:32:59.639
 I think

00:32:59.639 --> 00:33:00.079
 people come

00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:00.519
 to Watermark

00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:00.879
 for all

00:33:00.879 --> 00:33:01.200
 kinds of

00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:01.519
 reasons,

00:33:01.639 --> 00:33:02.039
 people become

00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:02.559
 Christians for

00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:02.980
 all kinds of

00:33:02.980 --> 00:33:03.240
 reasons,

00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:03.960
 like community,

00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:04.279
 right?

00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:04.900
 Such a

00:33:04.900 --> 00:33:05.259
 wonderful,

00:33:05.460 --> 00:33:06.079
 loving atmosphere

00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:06.480
 here.

00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:06.960
 It's great,

00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:07.180
 right?

00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:07.380
 To have

00:33:07.380 --> 00:33:07.660
 coffee

00:33:07.660 --> 00:33:08.220
 afterwards,

00:33:08.579 --> 00:33:08.980
 such a

00:33:08.980 --> 00:33:09.340
 buzz,

00:33:09.420 --> 00:33:09.579
 it's

00:33:09.579 --> 00:33:10.000
 wonderful,

00:33:11.519 --> 00:33:12.039
 community,

00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:12.340
 right?

00:33:12.360 --> 00:33:12.700
 Lots of

00:33:12.700 --> 00:33:13.279
 young adults

00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:13.579
 with whom

00:33:13.579 --> 00:33:13.860
 you can

00:33:13.860 --> 00:33:14.360
 hang out,

00:33:14.660 --> 00:33:14.900
 it's

00:33:14.900 --> 00:33:15.240
 great.

00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:16.700
 Except

00:33:16.700 --> 00:33:17.140
 Jesus

00:33:17.140 --> 00:33:17.400
 says,

00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:17.860
 that's

00:33:17.860 --> 00:33:18.120
 nice,

00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:18.480
 but that's

00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:18.880
 not why

00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:19.160
 I've

00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:19.400
 come.

00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:20.720
 I mean,

00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:21.140
 of course,

00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:22.279
 we're all

00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:22.799
 still sinners,

00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:23.180
 right?

00:33:23.220 --> 00:33:23.420
 And you

00:33:23.420 --> 00:33:23.700
 might be

00:33:23.700 --> 00:33:24.160
 disappointed,

00:33:24.700 --> 00:33:25.500
 but Jesus

00:33:25.500 --> 00:33:25.740
 says,

00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:26.100
 that's not

00:33:26.100 --> 00:33:26.400
 what I've

00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:26.779
 come to

00:33:26.779 --> 00:33:27.039
 do.

00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:28.039
 Ultimately,

00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:28.519
 I'm here

00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:29.120
 to rescue

00:33:29.120 --> 00:33:29.420
 you.

00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:30.120
 So if

00:33:30.120 --> 00:33:30.360
 you come

00:33:30.360 --> 00:33:30.640
 here for

00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:30.780
 the

00:33:30.780 --> 00:33:31.280
 community,

00:33:32.140 --> 00:33:32.300
 yeah,

00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:32.700
 and you

00:33:32.700 --> 00:33:33.200
 have CG,

00:33:33.380 --> 00:33:33.500
 hey,

00:33:33.560 --> 00:33:33.780
 come on,

00:33:33.800 --> 00:33:34.040
 can we

00:33:34.040 --> 00:33:34.540
 hang out?

00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:35.000
 But no,

00:33:35.060 --> 00:33:35.680
 we're talking

00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:36.200
 about sin

00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:36.580
 and about

00:33:36.580 --> 00:33:37.259
 Jesus again.

00:33:37.900 --> 00:33:38.100
 Well,

00:33:39.120 --> 00:33:39.320
 yeah,

00:33:39.360 --> 00:33:40.120
 that's not

00:33:40.120 --> 00:33:40.440
 the reason.

00:33:40.540 --> 00:33:41.320
 Maybe people

00:33:41.320 --> 00:33:41.700
 come here

00:33:41.700 --> 00:33:42.320
 for meaning

00:33:42.320 --> 00:33:43.320
 or purpose

00:33:43.320 --> 00:33:43.700
 or a

00:33:43.700 --> 00:33:44.180
 feeling of

00:33:44.180 --> 00:33:44.560
 peace.

00:33:44.660 --> 00:33:44.980
 Maybe you

00:33:44.980 --> 00:33:45.540
 come here,

00:33:45.900 --> 00:33:46.259
 I want to

00:33:46.259 --> 00:33:46.540
 be a

00:33:46.540 --> 00:33:47.300
 better person

00:33:47.300 --> 00:33:47.780
 and Jesus

00:33:47.780 --> 00:33:48.240
 is such

00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:48.820
 an inspiring

00:33:48.820 --> 00:33:49.400
 example,

00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:50.259
 so I

00:33:50.259 --> 00:33:50.500
 want to

00:33:50.500 --> 00:33:50.900
 learn about

00:33:50.900 --> 00:33:51.460
 Jesus and

00:33:51.460 --> 00:33:51.720
 how to

00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:52.160
 follow him.

00:33:53.020 --> 00:33:53.160
 Now,

00:33:53.500 --> 00:33:54.000
 Jesus is

00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:54.500
 an inspiring

00:33:54.500 --> 00:33:55.259
 example and

00:33:55.259 --> 00:33:55.600
 he does

00:33:55.600 --> 00:33:56.040
 want you to

00:33:56.040 --> 00:33:56.520
 follow him,

00:33:56.860 --> 00:33:57.220
 but it

00:33:57.220 --> 00:33:57.800
 doesn't start

00:33:57.800 --> 00:33:58.020
 there,

00:33:58.060 --> 00:33:58.200
 right?

00:33:58.259 --> 00:33:59.000
 Jesus says,

00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:02.300
 I've come

00:34:02.300 --> 00:34:02.840
 here because

00:34:02.840 --> 00:34:04.300
 you don't

00:34:04.300 --> 00:34:04.600
 need an

00:34:04.600 --> 00:34:05.000
 example,

00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:05.500
 you need

00:34:05.500 --> 00:34:05.840
 me to

00:34:05.840 --> 00:34:06.259
 die for

00:34:06.259 --> 00:34:06.480
 you.

00:34:07.600 --> 00:34:08.780
 And people

00:34:08.780 --> 00:34:09.420
 find that

00:34:09.420 --> 00:34:10.019
 sometimes hard

00:34:10.019 --> 00:34:10.519
 to accept,

00:34:10.619 --> 00:34:10.760
 right?

00:34:10.820 --> 00:34:11.220
 If they,

00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:12.200
 I come here

00:34:12.200 --> 00:34:12.800
 to learn

00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:13.240
 to be a

00:34:13.240 --> 00:34:13.720
 good person,

00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:13.920
 well,

00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:14.380
 Jesus says,

00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:14.740
 you can't

00:34:14.740 --> 00:34:15.079
 be a good

00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:15.380
 person,

00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:15.840
 you're not.

00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:17.559
 So if you

00:34:17.559 --> 00:34:18.099
 struggle with

00:34:18.099 --> 00:34:18.820
 Jesus'

00:34:19.019 --> 00:34:19.320
 message,

00:34:20.240 --> 00:34:20.380
 yeah,

00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:20.599
 I think

00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:21.019
 that's worth,

00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:21.780
 what are

00:34:21.780 --> 00:34:22.079
 we looking

00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:22.340
 for?

00:34:23.900 --> 00:34:24.539
 And just

00:34:24.539 --> 00:34:24.820
 to say,

00:34:24.900 --> 00:34:25.320
 it's okay

00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:25.940
 to struggle

00:34:25.940 --> 00:34:27.400
 and don't

00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:29.059
 pretend that's,

00:34:29.200 --> 00:34:29.320
 oh,

00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:30.000
 I love this

00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:30.320
 message,

00:34:30.420 --> 00:34:30.579
 right?

00:34:30.579 --> 00:34:31.500
 people who

00:34:31.500 --> 00:34:32.000
 say to me,

00:34:32.059 --> 00:34:32.199
 oh,

00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:32.880
 nice sermon,

00:34:33.279 --> 00:34:33.840
 when actually,

00:34:34.139 --> 00:34:35.340
 actually I don't

00:34:35.340 --> 00:34:35.779
 like Jesus'

00:34:35.900 --> 00:34:36.119
 teaching.

00:34:36.259 --> 00:34:36.759
 That's okay,

00:34:36.860 --> 00:34:37.619
 it's much better

00:34:37.619 --> 00:34:38.179
 to be honest

00:34:38.179 --> 00:34:38.679
 about it,

00:34:39.420 --> 00:34:39.799
 that's much

00:34:39.799 --> 00:34:40.239
 more helpful.

00:34:41.900 --> 00:34:43.079
 But think

00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:43.539
 reflecting,

00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:43.920
 you know,

00:34:44.019 --> 00:34:44.639
 what do I

00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:45.079
 want from

00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:45.400
 Jesus?

00:34:46.059 --> 00:34:46.480
 Why am I

00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:46.579
 here?

00:34:46.619 --> 00:34:46.980
 Do I want

00:34:46.980 --> 00:34:47.279
 him to

00:34:47.279 --> 00:34:47.880
 rescue me,

00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:48.380
 or are

00:34:48.380 --> 00:34:48.759
 there these

00:34:48.759 --> 00:34:49.319
 other things

00:34:49.319 --> 00:34:49.619
 that I

00:34:49.619 --> 00:34:49.980
 actually,

00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:50.900
 I want

00:34:50.900 --> 00:34:51.199
 more?

00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:52.400
 Because that

00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:52.880
 shows you

00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:53.279
 think you

00:34:53.279 --> 00:34:53.739
 need those

00:34:53.739 --> 00:34:54.699
 more than

00:34:54.699 --> 00:34:55.000
 this.

00:34:56.440 --> 00:34:56.719
 Although

00:34:56.719 --> 00:34:57.420
 finally I

00:34:57.420 --> 00:34:58.000
 would ask,

00:34:58.340 --> 00:34:58.539
 you know,

00:34:58.579 --> 00:34:59.059
 if that's what

00:34:59.059 --> 00:34:59.559
 you think you

00:34:59.559 --> 00:34:59.799
 need,

00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:01.180
 are you

00:35:01.180 --> 00:35:01.560
 sure?

00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:03.400
 Are you

00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:03.820
 sure that

00:35:03.820 --> 00:35:04.140
 you don't

00:35:04.140 --> 00:35:04.580
 need to be

00:35:04.580 --> 00:35:04.900
 rescued?

00:35:06.160 --> 00:35:06.539
 Because,

00:35:06.640 --> 00:35:06.780
 you know,

00:35:06.860 --> 00:35:07.539
 maybe Jesus

00:35:07.539 --> 00:35:08.120
 knows things

00:35:08.120 --> 00:35:08.400
 that we

00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:08.720
 don't.

00:35:09.900 --> 00:35:10.500
 I'm so

00:35:10.500 --> 00:35:11.180
 confident often

00:35:11.180 --> 00:35:11.660
 in my own

00:35:11.660 --> 00:35:12.060
 knowledge,

00:35:12.200 --> 00:35:12.360
 but,

00:35:13.080 --> 00:35:13.300
 you know,

00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:13.780
 I haven't

00:35:13.780 --> 00:35:14.320
 seen God.

00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:15.160
 Right?

00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:16.359
 how do I

00:35:16.359 --> 00:35:16.819
 know his

00:35:16.819 --> 00:35:17.159
 standards?

00:35:17.259 --> 00:35:17.619
 How do I

00:35:17.619 --> 00:35:17.920
 know what

00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:18.259
 he's going

00:35:18.259 --> 00:35:18.559
 to do?

00:35:19.659 --> 00:35:19.980
 Jesus

00:35:19.980 --> 00:35:20.199
 says,

00:35:20.279 --> 00:35:20.420
 I've

00:35:20.420 --> 00:35:20.859
 come from

00:35:20.859 --> 00:35:21.019
 him.

00:35:21.099 --> 00:35:21.519
 I can

00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:22.099
 tell you

00:35:22.099 --> 00:35:22.619
 about him.

00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:22.879
 And so

00:35:22.879 --> 00:35:25.099
 maybe it

00:35:25.099 --> 00:35:25.739
 would be

00:35:25.739 --> 00:35:26.399
 good to

00:35:26.399 --> 00:35:26.819
 be humble

00:35:26.819 --> 00:35:27.420
 and take

00:35:27.420 --> 00:35:27.819
 his word

00:35:27.819 --> 00:35:28.219
 for it.

00:35:29.279 --> 00:35:29.679
 Especially,

00:35:29.940 --> 00:35:30.159
 again,

00:35:30.899 --> 00:35:31.539
 Jesus didn't

00:35:31.539 --> 00:35:32.259
 just come to

00:35:32.259 --> 00:35:32.819
 bring a

00:35:32.819 --> 00:35:33.119
 message,

00:35:33.219 --> 00:35:33.359
 right?

00:35:33.379 --> 00:35:33.779
 If Jesus

00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:34.179
 was just

00:35:34.179 --> 00:35:34.779
 all talk

00:35:34.779 --> 00:35:35.179
 but no

00:35:35.179 --> 00:35:35.619
 action,

00:35:36.420 --> 00:35:36.759
 can we

00:35:36.759 --> 00:35:37.299
 believe him?

00:35:37.339 --> 00:35:37.460
 Well,

00:35:37.500 --> 00:35:38.039
 maybe not.

00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:39.699
 But actually

00:35:39.699 --> 00:35:40.739
 he didn't

00:35:40.739 --> 00:35:41.279
 just speak,

00:35:41.339 --> 00:35:41.539
 right?

00:35:41.899 --> 00:35:42.539
 He says,

00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:42.940
 I'm going to

00:35:42.940 --> 00:35:43.579
 die for you,

00:35:43.579 --> 00:35:43.779
 and he

00:35:43.779 --> 00:35:44.119
 actually

00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:44.639
 did it.

00:35:45.179 --> 00:35:45.799
 If he

00:35:45.799 --> 00:35:46.599
 went to

00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:46.940
 all that

00:35:46.940 --> 00:35:47.219
 trouble,

00:35:47.319 --> 00:35:47.599
 would he

00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:48.119
 be lying?

00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:49.460
 Would he

00:35:49.460 --> 00:35:50.159
 be saying,

00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:51.019
 you know,

00:35:51.539 --> 00:35:52.299
 you really

00:35:52.299 --> 00:35:52.739
 need my

00:35:52.739 --> 00:35:52.980
 death,

00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:53.360
 that's the

00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:53.980
 only way,

00:35:54.579 --> 00:35:54.940
 when it

00:35:54.940 --> 00:35:55.440
 wasn't the

00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:55.860
 only way?

00:35:55.940 --> 00:35:56.259
 Why would

00:35:56.259 --> 00:35:56.460
 he then

00:35:56.460 --> 00:35:56.719
 go to

00:35:56.719 --> 00:35:57.099
 the cross?

00:35:58.400 --> 00:35:58.659
 No.

00:35:59.219 --> 00:35:59.840
 I hope

00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:00.099
 we can

00:36:00.099 --> 00:36:00.480
 see from

00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:00.759
 Jesus,

00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:01.179
 he must

00:36:01.179 --> 00:36:01.599
 be telling

00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:02.099
 the truth

00:36:02.099 --> 00:36:02.420
 and that

00:36:02.420 --> 00:36:03.059
 means we

00:36:03.059 --> 00:36:03.460
 are in

00:36:03.460 --> 00:36:04.079
 trouble and

00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:04.960
 it means

00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:05.619
 that he

00:36:05.619 --> 00:36:06.219
 came for

00:36:06.219 --> 00:36:06.559
 us.

00:36:06.860 --> 00:36:07.460
 If you

00:36:07.460 --> 00:36:08.179
 see Jesus

00:36:08.179 --> 00:36:09.719
 and you

00:36:09.719 --> 00:36:10.639
 really realize

00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:11.039
 he's come

00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:11.539
 to rescue

00:36:11.539 --> 00:36:11.819
 you,

00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:12.719
 to die

00:36:12.719 --> 00:36:13.119
 in such

00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:13.460
 a way

00:36:13.460 --> 00:36:14.460
 that shows

00:36:14.460 --> 00:36:15.059
 an amazing

00:36:15.059 --> 00:36:15.519
 love,

00:36:15.619 --> 00:36:15.800
 right?

00:36:16.460 --> 00:36:16.760
 It's

00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:17.179
 incredible

00:36:17.179 --> 00:36:17.579
 what he

00:36:17.579 --> 00:36:18.039
 was willing

00:36:18.039 --> 00:36:18.440
 to do,

00:36:18.500 --> 00:36:18.820
 to come

00:36:18.820 --> 00:36:19.280
 down from

00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:19.639
 heaven,

00:36:20.240 --> 00:36:21.079
 to die

00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:21.840
 for us,

00:36:22.659 --> 00:36:23.280
 even though,

00:36:23.579 --> 00:36:23.740
 well,

00:36:23.780 --> 00:36:24.159
 if we are

00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:24.579
 really such

00:36:24.579 --> 00:36:24.920
 people,

00:36:25.019 --> 00:36:25.340
 we don't

00:36:25.340 --> 00:36:25.920
 deserve it.

00:36:26.880 --> 00:36:27.220
 I'm

00:36:27.220 --> 00:36:27.559
 saying we're

00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:27.740
 going to

00:36:27.740 --> 00:36:28.119
 get so

00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:28.579
 frustrated

00:36:28.579 --> 00:36:29.179
 with people

00:36:29.179 --> 00:36:29.539
 and yet

00:36:29.539 --> 00:36:30.079
 Jesus keeps

00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:30.539
 loving them,

00:36:30.659 --> 00:36:31.099
 Jesus keeps

00:36:31.099 --> 00:36:31.619
 loving us.

00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:32.699
 So,

00:36:32.820 --> 00:36:32.940
 yeah,

00:36:33.059 --> 00:36:33.460
 if you

00:36:33.460 --> 00:36:33.980
 see that,

00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:35.119
 come to

00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:35.320
 him.

00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:36.139
 Admit your

00:36:36.139 --> 00:36:36.480
 need,

00:36:37.300 --> 00:36:37.840
 admit you

00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:38.320
 need a

00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:38.659
 rescue,

00:36:39.380 --> 00:36:39.780
 and if you

00:36:39.780 --> 00:36:40.099
 want a

00:36:40.099 --> 00:36:40.400
 rescue,

00:36:40.539 --> 00:36:40.639
 yeah,

00:36:40.720 --> 00:36:41.119
 come to

00:36:41.119 --> 00:36:41.260
 him,

00:36:41.360 --> 00:36:41.780
 rely on

00:36:41.780 --> 00:36:42.240
 his death

00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:43.439
 and receive

00:36:43.439 --> 00:36:44.039
 eternal

00:36:44.039 --> 00:36:44.679
 life.

00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:46.259
 Why don't

00:36:46.259 --> 00:36:46.859
 we pray

00:36:46.859 --> 00:36:47.239
 together?

00:36:47.239 --> 00:37:00.259
 Father,

00:37:00.339 --> 00:37:00.659
 thank you

00:37:00.659 --> 00:37:01.339
 that you

00:37:01.339 --> 00:37:01.619
 tell us

00:37:01.619 --> 00:37:02.019
 the truth,

00:37:02.739 --> 00:37:03.179
 even if

00:37:03.179 --> 00:37:03.679
 truth is

00:37:03.679 --> 00:37:03.919
 sometimes

00:37:03.919 --> 00:37:04.359
 hard to

00:37:04.359 --> 00:37:04.619
 hear,

00:37:05.199 --> 00:37:05.639
 that we

00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:05.899
 need

00:37:05.899 --> 00:37:06.299
 rescue,

00:37:07.139 --> 00:37:07.759
 that we

00:37:07.759 --> 00:37:08.039
 have no

00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:08.500
 life in

00:37:08.500 --> 00:37:09.000
 ourselves,

00:37:09.979 --> 00:37:10.419
 that only

00:37:10.419 --> 00:37:10.719
 through

00:37:10.719 --> 00:37:11.319
 Jesus we

00:37:11.319 --> 00:37:11.879
 can actually

00:37:11.879 --> 00:37:13.919
 be saved.

00:37:14.579 --> 00:37:14.839
 Father,

00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:16.259
 help us

00:37:16.260 --> 00:37:16.700
 search our

00:37:16.700 --> 00:37:17.000
 hearts,

00:37:17.220 --> 00:37:17.700
 many of

00:37:17.700 --> 00:37:17.960
 us are

00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:18.680
 rejoicing,

00:37:19.020 --> 00:37:19.500
 we love

00:37:19.500 --> 00:37:19.860
 to hear

00:37:19.860 --> 00:37:20.380
 this because

00:37:20.380 --> 00:37:21.820
 we know

00:37:21.820 --> 00:37:22.140
 Jesus'

00:37:22.340 --> 00:37:22.640
 love and

00:37:22.640 --> 00:37:23.040
 we know

00:37:23.040 --> 00:37:24.120
 we need

00:37:24.120 --> 00:37:24.480
 him so

00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:24.740
 much.

00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:24.980
 There's

00:37:24.980 --> 00:37:25.360
 others of

00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:25.600
 us who

00:37:25.600 --> 00:37:26.020
 are still

00:37:26.020 --> 00:37:26.900
 thinking,

00:37:27.240 --> 00:37:27.560
 still

00:37:27.560 --> 00:37:28.040
 struggling.

00:37:28.860 --> 00:37:29.080
 Father,

00:37:29.240 --> 00:37:29.940
 open our

00:37:29.940 --> 00:37:30.280
 eyes,

00:37:30.660 --> 00:37:31.180
 would we

00:37:31.180 --> 00:37:31.860
 see Jesus

00:37:31.860 --> 00:37:32.640
 and therefore

00:37:32.640 --> 00:37:33.020
 would we

00:37:33.020 --> 00:37:33.700
 accept what

00:37:33.700 --> 00:37:34.120
 he has to

00:37:34.120 --> 00:37:34.460
 say to

00:37:34.460 --> 00:37:34.760
 us,

00:37:35.500 --> 00:37:35.860
 or that

00:37:35.860 --> 00:37:36.320
 each of

00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:36.560
 us have

00:37:36.560 --> 00:37:36.800
 eternal

00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:37.180
 life.

00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:38.240
 Again,

00:37:38.360 --> 00:37:39.460
 we see

00:37:39.460 --> 00:37:39.980
 people walk

00:37:39.980 --> 00:37:40.260
 away,

00:37:40.600 --> 00:37:41.140
 ultimately we

00:37:41.140 --> 00:37:41.540
 don't want

00:37:41.540 --> 00:37:41.660
 that,

00:37:41.720 --> 00:37:41.980
 we want

00:37:41.980 --> 00:37:42.620
 many people

00:37:42.620 --> 00:37:43.540
 to hear

00:37:43.539 --> 00:37:43.940
 this good

00:37:43.940 --> 00:37:44.320
 news,

00:37:44.900 --> 00:37:45.500
 and not

00:37:45.500 --> 00:37:45.820
 die,

00:37:45.900 --> 00:37:46.159
 but have

00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:46.599
 eternal

00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:47.079
 life.

00:37:47.539 --> 00:37:47.960
 No one

00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:48.420
 wants death,

00:37:48.500 --> 00:37:49.039
 everyone wants

00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:49.460
 life,

00:37:50.119 --> 00:37:50.559
 but we need

00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:50.820
 to know

00:37:50.820 --> 00:37:51.139
 where to

00:37:51.139 --> 00:37:51.559
 find it,

00:37:51.579 --> 00:37:51.800
 and it's

00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:52.219
 in Jesus.

00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:54.460
 So we

00:37:54.460 --> 00:37:54.860
 pray this in

00:37:54.860 --> 00:37:55.300
 his name.

00:37:55.639 --> 00:37:55.920
 Amen.
