00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.440
 We invite you to take your copy of God's Word and turn to the Gospel according to Matthew chapter 7.

00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:15.919
! We are bringing our study of the Sermon on the Mount to a close this week and Lord willing, next.

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:23.339
 And today's text is Matthew chapter 7, verses 13 through 20.

00:00:23.339 --> 00:00:41.179
 As followers of Jesus Christ, we are believers in the truth, we are lovers of the truth, and we should be proclaimers of the truth.

00:00:42.179 --> 00:00:53.260
 But in our age, if you want to find yourself unliked very quickly, dare to claim that you believe in a truth that deserves the belief of all people.

00:00:53.340 --> 00:00:59.940
 Denounce the idea that you can have your truth and I can have my truth.

00:01:00.720 --> 00:01:09.439
 Claim that there is such a thing as the truth, and you will be called narrow or arrogant.

00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:17.680
 Pluralistic relativism is antithetical to the truth.

00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:25.960
 It stands in opposition to it, but it does not and it cannot work in the world.

00:01:27.060 --> 00:01:38.340
 If what is right and pure and praiseworthy is not defined by truth, then it will be defined by power.

00:01:38.340 --> 00:01:46.700
 And in our day, those with the power seem to be those who are the loudest at declaring their truth.

00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:54.280
 Now at this point in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus has concluded his teaching about his kingdom ethic.

00:01:54.460 --> 00:01:59.320
 And he has made bold, absolute truth claims.

00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:07.619
 He has been striking and clear about what citizens of the kingdom of heaven look like and act like.

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.799
 At the very end of chapter 7, Matthew declares,

00:02:11.799 --> 00:02:17.139
 And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching,

00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:24.500
 for he was teaching them as one who had authority and not as their scribes.

00:02:24.500 --> 00:02:32.180
 In verse 13, Jesus, having concluded his teaching on his kingdom ethic,

00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.780
 presses an invitation to enter into that kingdom.

00:02:37.419 --> 00:02:45.639
 And he does not leave space for pluralistic relativism in matters concerning his kingdom.

00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:52.620
 So let's look together at Matthew chapter 7, verse 13 through 20.

00:02:52.620 --> 00:02:59.439
 Beloved, let me remind you that this is God's word to us, written for his glory and our good.

00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:07.500
 We would all do well to listen to it in order to believe its promises and to obey its commands.

00:03:09.780 --> 00:03:11.900
 Enter by the narrow gate.

00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:16.819
 For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction,

00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:20.000
 and those who enter by it are many.

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.580
 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life,

00:03:24.819 --> 00:03:27.539
 and those who find it are few.

00:03:28.819 --> 00:03:31.840
 Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing,

00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.300
 but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.379
 You will recognize them by their fruits.

00:03:38.060 --> 00:03:41.159
 Our grapes gather from thorn bushes or figs from thistles,

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.800
 so every healthy tree bears good fruit,

00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.300
 but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.

00:03:46.300 --> 00:03:52.060
 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.

00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:57.660
 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:02.180
 Thus, you will recognize them by their fruits.

00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.700
 Now there are two exhortations in this text.

00:04:08.699 --> 00:04:12.919
 The first is found at the beginning of verse 13.

00:04:13.119 --> 00:04:13.679
 Jesus says,

00:04:14.119 --> 00:04:17.339
 Enter by the narrow gate.

00:04:17.659 --> 00:04:22.300
 And then gives reason why this should be the way for us.

00:04:23.300 --> 00:04:30.819
 The second is a warning to stay away from those who would keep you from entering by the narrow gate.

00:04:30.819 --> 00:04:32.719
 And it's found in verse 15,

00:04:33.219 --> 00:04:33.959
 where Jesus says,

00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:37.339
 Beware of false prophets.

00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:43.300
 So, enter and beware.

00:04:44.659 --> 00:04:48.839
 We assert as a church that access into the kingdom of God

00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:53.240
 is a thing that is granted to us by God.

00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.819
 Jesus is recorded in John chapter 6, verse 44,

00:04:57.139 --> 00:04:57.439
 saying,

00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:02.699
 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him,

00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.759
 and I will raise him up on the last day.

00:05:07.900 --> 00:05:12.180
 We are saved by grace alone.

00:05:12.840 --> 00:05:17.040
 But this reality does not preclude our action.

00:05:17.540 --> 00:05:22.100
 We are to enter and to beware.

00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.900
 And this is a binary decision.

00:05:26.100 --> 00:05:28.439
 It's either one or the other.

00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:34.180
 There are only two options presented for us in our text this morning.

00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:39.420
 You cannot have God and everlasting life on your terms.

00:05:39.980 --> 00:05:44.439
 You must have him and it on his terms.

00:05:45.740 --> 00:05:49.379
 Notice that Jesus says there are two gates,

00:05:49.819 --> 00:05:50.660
 two ways,

00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:52.519
 two destinations,

00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:54.639
 two people,

00:05:55.019 --> 00:05:57.060
 only two.

00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:00.579
 My prayer for you this morning,

00:06:01.039 --> 00:06:03.419
 and has been across this past week,

00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:06.519
 is that you will be careful to consider

00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:09.379
 which gate you have entered by,

00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:11.279
 which way you are in,

00:06:11.419 --> 00:06:14.459
 which destination your way leads to,

00:06:14.459 --> 00:06:17.919
 and which people you belong to.

00:06:17.919 --> 00:06:20.919
 There are only two choices.

00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:25.239
 Let's consider first the narrow gate,

00:06:25.379 --> 00:06:26.279
 the difficult way,

00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.459
 the destination called life,

00:06:29.459 --> 00:06:31.579
 and the few.

00:06:31.579 --> 00:06:37.399
 Jesus is the narrow gate.

00:06:38.539 --> 00:06:42.879
 This is the absolute truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:46.180
 If one is to be reconciled to God the Father,

00:06:46.300 --> 00:06:49.860
 we must come through God the Son.

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.079
 There is no other way.

00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:58.779
 Jesus said of himself in John chapter 14 and verse 6,

00:06:58.779 --> 00:07:00.779
 I am the way,

00:07:00.779 --> 00:07:00.779


00:07:00.779 --> 00:07:02.859
 and the truth,

00:07:02.859 --> 00:07:04.859
 and the life.

00:07:04.939 --> 00:07:05.679
 Not a way,

00:07:05.799 --> 00:07:06.319
 a truth,

00:07:06.719 --> 00:07:07.299
 a life.

00:07:07.619 --> 00:07:08.319
 The way,

00:07:08.899 --> 00:07:09.839
 the truth,

00:07:10.139 --> 00:07:11.819
 and the life.

00:07:11.819 --> 00:07:17.240
 No one comes to the Father except through me.

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:19.839
 The Apostle Paul said something similar

00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.819
 in 1 Timothy chapter 2 and verse 5,

00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:25.439
 For there is one God,

00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:30.399
 and there is one mediator between God and man,

00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:34.439
 one who stands in the gap between us and God,

00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:37.759
 the man Christ, Jesus.

00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:41.879
 Jesus is the only way.

00:07:43.039 --> 00:07:46.420
 If this seems too narrow to you,

00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:50.639
 then you think far too much of yourself.

00:07:51.740 --> 00:07:54.779
 Those who have placed saving faith in Jesus Christ

00:07:54.779 --> 00:07:58.480
 have been humbled by the wretchedness of their sin

00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:00.659
 before a most holy God.

00:08:01.300 --> 00:08:03.379
 They have felt the weight of their rebellion

00:08:03.379 --> 00:08:05.399
 against God's good word

00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:10.359
 and are thankful that there is a way at all.

00:08:11.859 --> 00:08:14.339
 Praise God that there is a gate,

00:08:14.779 --> 00:08:16.060
 that it exists,

00:08:16.239 --> 00:08:18.679
 a way to God exists

00:08:18.679 --> 00:08:22.239
 for those who have rebelled wickedly against Him.

00:08:22.620 --> 00:08:26.379
 And that gate is Jesus Christ,

00:08:26.719 --> 00:08:27.319
 the way,

00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:28.759
 the truth,

00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:30.599
 and the life.

00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.279
 And our text tells us

00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:34.779
 that this narrow gate

00:08:34.779 --> 00:08:39.639
 leads us into a difficult way.

00:08:41.060 --> 00:08:42.920
 Jesus is not unclear

00:08:42.920 --> 00:08:46.519
 about the nature of the Christian life.

00:08:47.180 --> 00:08:50.740
 If you desire ease and comfort in this life,

00:08:51.139 --> 00:08:53.500
 there is a broad way for you.

00:08:53.500 --> 00:08:56.419
 But if you seek the coming kingdom

00:08:56.419 --> 00:08:58.480
 and the life found there,

00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:01.860
 the way will be difficult.

00:09:03.139 --> 00:09:05.080
 Jesus said in Matthew 16,

00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:07.440
 verse 24 and verse 25,

00:09:08.059 --> 00:09:10.379
 If anyone would come after me,

00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:12.679
 let him deny himself

00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:14.279
 and take up his cross

00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:15.679
 and follow me.

00:09:16.139 --> 00:09:18.139
 For whoever would save his life,

00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:19.440
 broad way,

00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.179
 will lose it in his destruction.

00:09:22.179 --> 00:09:24.679
 But whoever loses his life,

00:09:25.139 --> 00:09:26.259
 difficult way,

00:09:26.659 --> 00:09:27.620
 for my sake,

00:09:28.219 --> 00:09:29.620
 will find it.

00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:32.439
 Where did Jesus go

00:09:32.439 --> 00:09:34.919
 when He carried His cross?

00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:38.779
 Did He take it to a place of ease and comfort?

00:09:40.059 --> 00:09:40.559
 No.

00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:44.639
 He went to a place called Golgotha

00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:45.959
 to die.

00:09:47.099 --> 00:09:49.319
 And He invites us to follow Him

00:09:49.319 --> 00:09:51.039
 in doing the same.

00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:53.539
 to deny ourselves.

00:09:54.379 --> 00:09:56.500
 To put to death by the power of the Spirit

00:09:56.500 --> 00:09:58.019
 sin in our lives.

00:09:58.199 --> 00:10:01.559
 To suffer for the glory of His name.

00:10:02.699 --> 00:10:04.620
 It should be normative

00:10:04.620 --> 00:10:06.799
 that disciples of Jesus Christ

00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:10.620
 will suffer as He suffered.

00:10:12.199 --> 00:10:13.740
 Listen to the words of Jesus

00:10:13.740 --> 00:10:15.559
 recorded in John 15,

00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:17.699
 verses 18-20.

00:10:17.700 --> 00:10:20.500
 Here He said to His apostles

00:10:20.500 --> 00:10:22.000
 and to us this morning,

00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:23.480
 If the world hates you,

00:10:24.180 --> 00:10:25.740
 know that it has hated Me

00:10:25.740 --> 00:10:28.180
 before it hated you.

00:10:28.980 --> 00:10:30.080
 If you were of the world,

00:10:30.140 --> 00:10:31.180
 the world would love you

00:10:31.180 --> 00:10:32.200
 as its own.

00:10:32.780 --> 00:10:34.320
 But because you are not of the world,

00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:36.400
 but I chose you out of the world,

00:10:37.160 --> 00:10:39.320
 therefore the world hates you.

00:10:40.280 --> 00:10:41.460
 Remember the word

00:10:41.460 --> 00:10:42.720
 that I said to you,

00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.580
 A servant is not greater

00:10:45.580 --> 00:10:46.899
 than his master.

00:10:47.540 --> 00:10:48.899
 If they persecuted Me,

00:10:49.019 --> 00:10:51.279
 they will also persecute you.

00:10:51.700 --> 00:10:53.440
 If they kept My word,

00:10:53.560 --> 00:10:56.779
 they will also keep yours.

00:10:58.120 --> 00:10:59.899
 But we far too often live

00:10:59.899 --> 00:11:00.899
 as if we're greater

00:11:00.899 --> 00:11:02.720
 than our master.

00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:04.820
 That Jesus' suffering and death

00:11:04.820 --> 00:11:05.779
 has set us up

00:11:05.779 --> 00:11:07.139
 for a life of comfort

00:11:07.139 --> 00:11:08.620
 and of ease.

00:11:08.620 --> 00:11:10.279
 And we should ask ourselves

00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:13.200
 if we're in the difficult way

00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.159
 or if we're in the easy way.

00:11:16.560 --> 00:11:18.980
 If we've entered by the narrow gate

00:11:18.980 --> 00:11:20.120
 to the difficult way.

00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:22.600
 Or if we've gone to the broad gate

00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:25.840
 to the broad and easy way.

00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:29.159
 We can see an example

00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:31.419
 of this kind of suffering

00:11:31.419 --> 00:11:33.840
 in following Jesus

00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:35.680
 found in the life of Paul

00:11:35.680 --> 00:11:37.960
 in Acts chapter 14.

00:11:38.820 --> 00:11:41.040
 The story of Paul being stoned

00:11:41.040 --> 00:11:42.259
 at Lystra.

00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:45.280
 Verses 19 through 22.

00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:47.220
 Luke records for us,

00:11:47.280 --> 00:11:48.500
 But Jews came from Antioch

00:11:48.500 --> 00:11:49.060
 and Iconium,

00:11:49.740 --> 00:11:51.360
 and having persuaded the crowds,

00:11:51.800 --> 00:11:52.879
 they stoned Paul

00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:54.879
 and dragged him out of the city

00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:57.000
 supposing he was dead.

00:11:57.519 --> 00:11:58.879
 They stoned him to the point

00:11:58.879 --> 00:11:59.940
 that they thought he was dead,

00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:01.400
 and they took his body outside

00:12:01.400 --> 00:12:02.759
 to rot.

00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:04.700
 But when the disciples

00:12:04.700 --> 00:12:05.679
 gathered about him,

00:12:05.740 --> 00:12:07.019
 he rose up and entered

00:12:07.019 --> 00:12:07.620
 into the city.

00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:09.460
 And on the next day,

00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.059
 he went on with Barnabas

00:12:11.059 --> 00:12:11.700
 to Derbe.

00:12:12.740 --> 00:12:13.700
 When they had preached

00:12:13.700 --> 00:12:14.700
 the gospel to that city

00:12:14.700 --> 00:12:15.700
 and had made many disciples,

00:12:15.819 --> 00:12:16.960
 they returned to Lystra

00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:18.240
 and to Iconium

00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:19.480
 and to Antioch.

00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:20.860
 Back to the place

00:12:20.860 --> 00:12:21.960
 where everybody had heard

00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:22.960
 about the suffering

00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:23.960
 he had experienced

00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:25.319
 for the gospel.

00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:27.279
 And verse 22 says,

00:12:27.419 --> 00:12:29.740
 Strengthening the souls

00:12:29.740 --> 00:12:31.019
 of the disciples,

00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:32.039
 encouraging them

00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:33.980
 to continue in the faith.

00:12:33.980 --> 00:12:35.319
 And here's the peculiar part

00:12:35.319 --> 00:12:36.059
 of this text,

00:12:36.199 --> 00:12:36.659
 to us,

00:12:37.099 --> 00:12:37.579
 I think.

00:12:38.779 --> 00:12:39.559
 And saying

00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:41.459
 that through many tribulations

00:12:41.459 --> 00:12:42.360
 we must enter

00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:44.439
 the kingdom of God.

00:12:45.740 --> 00:12:47.360
 How is it that Paul

00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:48.939
 encouraged them

00:12:48.939 --> 00:12:50.199
 to continue in the faith

00:12:50.199 --> 00:12:52.500
 and told them

00:12:52.500 --> 00:12:54.059
 that through many tribulations

00:12:54.059 --> 00:12:54.860
 we must enter

00:12:54.860 --> 00:12:56.240
 the kingdom of God?

00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:57.919
 Wouldn't it be better

00:12:57.919 --> 00:12:59.019
 for Paul to tell them

00:12:59.019 --> 00:13:00.319
 to not worry?

00:13:01.199 --> 00:13:02.059
 That everything

00:13:02.059 --> 00:13:04.039
 is going to get better?

00:13:05.299 --> 00:13:06.439
 That having Jesus

00:13:06.439 --> 00:13:07.159
 in your life

00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:11.059
 improves the temporal existence

00:13:11.059 --> 00:13:12.299
 that you have now?

00:13:13.699 --> 00:13:14.219
 No.

00:13:15.479 --> 00:13:16.919
 This would not be the way

00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:17.639
 that these people

00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:18.339
 should be encouraged

00:13:18.339 --> 00:13:19.740
 because this is not the way

00:13:19.740 --> 00:13:21.000
 of the kingdom.

00:13:21.740 --> 00:13:23.339
 It is a difficult way.

00:13:23.839 --> 00:13:25.679
 It's not an easy way.

00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:27.839
 But he's able

00:13:27.839 --> 00:13:28.899
 to encourage them

00:13:28.899 --> 00:13:30.719
 with the promise

00:13:30.719 --> 00:13:32.219
 of the kingdom.

00:13:33.379 --> 00:13:34.679
 He's able to say to them,

00:13:34.839 --> 00:13:36.039
 yes, you suffer now

00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:37.039
 because you're a disciple

00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:38.139
 of Jesus Christ.

00:13:39.199 --> 00:13:40.279
 But later,

00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:42.620
 we look to the promise

00:13:42.620 --> 00:13:45.399
 of the future reward.

00:13:47.299 --> 00:13:48.079
 Remember the words

00:13:48.079 --> 00:13:49.799
 of Jesus in Matthew 16, 25,

00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:50.599
 which I read to you

00:13:50.599 --> 00:13:51.379
 just a moment ago.

00:13:51.379 --> 00:13:53.919
 Whoever loses his life

00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:54.980
 for my sake

00:13:54.980 --> 00:13:57.580
 will find it.

00:13:58.519 --> 00:13:59.320
 Find it.

00:14:01.340 --> 00:14:02.360
 The community group

00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:02.840
 that I lead

00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:03.439
 has been praying

00:14:03.439 --> 00:14:04.360
 for the work

00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:04.840
 of some brothers

00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:06.139
 and sisters in Pakistan

00:14:06.139 --> 00:14:08.139
 who have seen

00:14:08.139 --> 00:14:09.399
 an imam come to faith

00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:10.840
 in Jesus Christ.

00:14:10.939 --> 00:14:11.519
 Praise the Lord.

00:14:12.659 --> 00:14:13.399
 But this morning,

00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:15.799
 we received word

00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:19.679
 that his wife,

00:14:19.899 --> 00:14:20.519
 his children,

00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:22.019
 and three others

00:14:22.019 --> 00:14:22.839
 are now in Christ

00:14:22.839 --> 00:14:24.039
 because of his witness.

00:14:24.819 --> 00:14:25.799
 But also,

00:14:26.359 --> 00:14:27.179
 that he's been

00:14:27.179 --> 00:14:27.979
 kicked out of the mosque,

00:14:29.099 --> 00:14:30.319
 his Bible taken from him,

00:14:31.019 --> 00:14:31.959
 his children kicked out

00:14:31.959 --> 00:14:32.399
 of school,

00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:33.979
 and he has been hospitalized

00:14:33.979 --> 00:14:35.479
 from a beating,

00:14:35.620 --> 00:14:36.019
 a stoning.

00:14:38.139 --> 00:14:39.799
 How does one bear up

00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:42.199
 under such a thing?

00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:45.520
 By looking to the promise.

00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:47.980
 So this man knows

00:14:47.980 --> 00:14:48.620
 that it's better

00:14:48.620 --> 00:14:49.920
 for him to suffer now

00:14:49.920 --> 00:14:52.220
 and have a heavenly reward

00:14:52.220 --> 00:14:55.480
 that Jesus is more precious

00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:57.280
 than anything this world

00:14:57.280 --> 00:14:58.520
 would have to offer,

00:14:59.520 --> 00:15:01.280
 that he would gladly,

00:15:02.140 --> 00:15:03.440
 for the glory of God,

00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:05.040
 have such things happen

00:15:05.040 --> 00:15:06.360
 to his family.

00:15:07.740 --> 00:15:08.980
 Those who have Jesus

00:15:08.980 --> 00:15:11.540
 need nothing else.

00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:14.180
 Those who have tasted

00:15:14.180 --> 00:15:15.400
 and seen that the Lord is good

00:15:15.400 --> 00:15:17.180
 do not need the comfort

00:15:17.180 --> 00:15:18.860
 and ease of this world

00:15:18.860 --> 00:15:22.460
 and can look with hopeful expectation

00:15:22.460 --> 00:15:25.780
 to the life beyond this life.

00:15:28.259 --> 00:15:30.240
 Here's a closing word from Jesus

00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:31.780
 on the difficult way

00:15:31.780 --> 00:15:34.259
 found in Luke chapter 14

00:15:34.259 --> 00:15:35.860
 beginning in verse 27

00:15:35.860 --> 00:15:36.740
 and following.

00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:39.340
 He says,

00:15:39.340 --> 00:15:40.140
 Whoever does not

00:15:40.140 --> 00:15:41.680
 bear his own cross

00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:42.759
 and come after me

00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:44.059
 cannot be

00:15:44.059 --> 00:15:45.579
 my disciple.

00:15:46.699 --> 00:15:47.099
 So,

00:15:47.339 --> 00:15:48.639
 what does it mean

00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:49.339
 for us

00:15:49.339 --> 00:15:51.979
 to pick up our cross,

00:15:52.099 --> 00:15:53.339
 to die to ourselves,

00:15:53.739 --> 00:15:55.179
 to suffer for the sake

00:15:55.179 --> 00:15:56.259
 of the name?

00:15:57.059 --> 00:15:57.779
 This is a thing

00:15:57.779 --> 00:15:58.819
 that should be counted.

00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:00.719
 And too many of us

00:16:00.719 --> 00:16:01.719
 grew up in churches

00:16:01.719 --> 00:16:03.120
 that taught us

00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:05.559
 a cheap grace gospel.

00:16:06.259 --> 00:16:07.939
 That did not tell us

00:16:07.940 --> 00:16:09.640
 that what Jesus demands

00:16:09.640 --> 00:16:10.020
 of us

00:16:10.020 --> 00:16:11.480
 is our all.

00:16:12.580 --> 00:16:13.440
 We were sold

00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:16.140
 an improper bill.

00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:18.280
 So,

00:16:18.340 --> 00:16:18.940
 he says,

00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:20.740
 count the cost.

00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:21.840
 Listen to what he says

00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:22.400
 in verse 28

00:16:22.400 --> 00:16:22.800
 and following.

00:16:23.800 --> 00:16:24.580
 For which of you

00:16:24.580 --> 00:16:26.380
 desiring to build a tower

00:16:26.380 --> 00:16:27.620
 does not first sit down

00:16:27.620 --> 00:16:28.900
 and count the cost,

00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:30.700
 whether he has enough

00:16:30.700 --> 00:16:32.280
 to complete it?

00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:33.480
 Otherwise,

00:16:33.660 --> 00:16:34.600
 when he has laid a foundation,

00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:35.600
 is not able to finish,

00:16:35.680 --> 00:16:36.380
 all who see it

00:16:36.380 --> 00:16:37.360
 will begin to mock him,

00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:37.700
 saying,

00:16:37.800 --> 00:16:38.480
 this man began

00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:39.539
 to build a tower

00:16:39.539 --> 00:16:40.320
 and was not able

00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:41.159
 to finish.

00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:42.919
 How foolish a thing.

00:16:43.419 --> 00:16:44.320
 Or what king,

00:16:44.419 --> 00:16:45.300
 going out to encounter

00:16:45.300 --> 00:16:46.379
 another king in war,

00:16:46.899 --> 00:16:47.960
 will not sit down first

00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:48.480
 and deliberate

00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:49.360
 whether he is able

00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:50.340
 with 10,000

00:16:50.340 --> 00:16:51.360
 to meet him

00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:53.100
 who comes against him

00:16:53.100 --> 00:16:54.860
 with 20,000.

00:16:56.379 --> 00:16:56.879
 So,

00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:57.620
 if you are to enter

00:16:57.620 --> 00:16:58.720
 by the narrow gate,

00:16:59.139 --> 00:17:00.360
 you do so

00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:03.019
 at great cost.

00:17:03.560 --> 00:17:04.339
 And you must

00:17:04.339 --> 00:17:05.539
 consider this.

00:17:06.120 --> 00:17:07.140
 If you are to follow

00:17:07.140 --> 00:17:08.180
 Jesus Christ,

00:17:08.660 --> 00:17:09.759
 it will cost you

00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:10.860
 everything.

00:17:11.580 --> 00:17:12.420
 Are you willing

00:17:12.420 --> 00:17:13.080
 to give everything

00:17:13.080 --> 00:17:13.800
 to follow

00:17:13.800 --> 00:17:16.100
 Jesus Christ?

00:17:16.660 --> 00:17:17.820
 I can tell you

00:17:17.820 --> 00:17:19.420
 that everything

00:17:19.420 --> 00:17:20.560
 we have to give

00:17:20.560 --> 00:17:21.900
 in the work

00:17:21.900 --> 00:17:22.740
 of following Jesus

00:17:22.740 --> 00:17:24.980
 is a trifling cost.

00:17:25.320 --> 00:17:27.220
 It is a nothing cost

00:17:27.220 --> 00:17:29.160
 compared to the riches

00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:30.480
 that are ours

00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:31.620
 in Christ.

00:17:31.619 --> 00:17:32.919
 If you have

00:17:32.919 --> 00:17:34.239
 experienced

00:17:34.239 --> 00:17:35.500
 the living God

00:17:35.500 --> 00:17:36.039
 and the personal

00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:37.539
 work of Jesus Christ,

00:17:37.619 --> 00:17:38.500
 if you have beheld

00:17:38.500 --> 00:17:38.859
 him,

00:17:38.939 --> 00:17:40.379
 it is an easy

00:17:40.379 --> 00:17:40.959
 trade

00:17:40.959 --> 00:17:42.439
 to make,

00:17:42.500 --> 00:17:43.079
 to give away

00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:43.819
 everything

00:17:43.819 --> 00:17:45.119
 for the sake

00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:46.339
 of his name.

00:17:47.219 --> 00:17:47.559
 So,

00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:48.639
 Jesus is

00:17:48.639 --> 00:17:49.819
 the narrow gate

00:17:49.819 --> 00:17:50.899
 and he leads

00:17:50.899 --> 00:17:53.000
 into a difficult

00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:54.079
 way

00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:55.799
 whose destination

00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:57.519
 is called

00:17:57.519 --> 00:17:58.639
 life.

00:17:58.640 --> 00:17:58.700
 life.

00:17:59.700 --> 00:18:00.460
 The destination

00:18:00.460 --> 00:18:02.040
 of this difficult

00:18:02.040 --> 00:18:03.240
 way is called

00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:04.960
 life.

00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:05.720
 Now

00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:06.660
 and

00:18:06.660 --> 00:18:07.720
 forever.

00:18:08.860 --> 00:18:09.940
 It is a quality

00:18:09.940 --> 00:18:10.640
 of life

00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:11.820
 in the soul

00:18:11.820 --> 00:18:12.520
 of man

00:18:12.520 --> 00:18:13.440
 that those

00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:14.160
 of this world

00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:14.920
 do not

00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:15.680
 and cannot

00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:17.259
 understand.

00:18:17.259 --> 00:18:19.319
 why would

00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:19.759
 this man

00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:20.420
 in Pakistan

00:18:20.420 --> 00:18:21.839
 trade the

00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:22.400
 favor of

00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:23.119
 his community,

00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:24.440
 his job,

00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:25.460
 possibly his

00:18:25.460 --> 00:18:26.980
 very life

00:18:26.980 --> 00:18:27.660
 to follow

00:18:27.660 --> 00:18:28.660
 this Jesus?

00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:30.720
 Because

00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:31.879
 he has

00:18:31.879 --> 00:18:32.839
 been changed

00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:33.379
 from death

00:18:33.379 --> 00:18:34.039
 to life.

00:18:34.579 --> 00:18:35.420
 Because he

00:18:35.420 --> 00:18:35.779
 has this

00:18:35.779 --> 00:18:36.379
 quality

00:18:36.379 --> 00:18:37.700
 of life

00:18:37.700 --> 00:18:38.859
 in his soul

00:18:38.859 --> 00:18:39.640
 knowing

00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:40.839
 his creator

00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:42.019
 that we

00:18:42.019 --> 00:18:42.299
 give up

00:18:42.299 --> 00:18:42.720
 everything

00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:43.859
 for it.

00:18:44.980 --> 00:18:45.480
 This is

00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:45.900
 the life

00:18:45.900 --> 00:18:46.240
 that David

00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:46.799
 speaks of

00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:47.140
 in Psalm

00:18:47.140 --> 00:18:47.759
 17

00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:48.539
 verse 15

00:18:48.539 --> 00:18:48.880
 where he

00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:49.319
 writes,

00:18:49.980 --> 00:18:50.620
 As for me

00:18:50.620 --> 00:18:51.000
 I shall

00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:51.519
 behold

00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:52.720
 your face

00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:53.839
 in righteousness.

00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:55.000
 When I

00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:55.720
 awake I

00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:56.079
 shall be

00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:56.859
 satisfied

00:18:56.859 --> 00:18:58.339
 with your

00:18:58.339 --> 00:18:59.000
 likeness.

00:19:00.420 --> 00:19:01.079
 Those who

00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:01.400
 are in

00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:01.839
 Christ

00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:02.420
 have his

00:19:02.420 --> 00:19:03.019
 presence,

00:19:03.779 --> 00:19:04.640
 his power

00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:05.400
 and his

00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:05.960
 provision

00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:06.759
 and this

00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:08.240
 is good.

00:19:08.900 --> 00:19:09.160
 And it

00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:09.440
 will be

00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:10.500
 the great

00:19:10.500 --> 00:19:11.120
 blessing

00:19:11.120 --> 00:19:11.920
 of heaven

00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:13.539
 forevermore.

00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:14.779
 Do you

00:19:14.779 --> 00:19:14.960
 know the

00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:15.380
 life

00:19:15.380 --> 00:19:16.059
 everlasting

00:19:16.059 --> 00:19:16.799
 for us

00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:17.319
 is that

00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:17.859
 we get

00:19:17.859 --> 00:19:18.579
 more

00:19:18.579 --> 00:19:19.440
 of our

00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:19.839
 Savior?

00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:21.339
 That we

00:19:21.339 --> 00:19:21.759
 get to

00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:22.819
 bask in

00:19:22.819 --> 00:19:23.639
 his glory

00:19:23.639 --> 00:19:24.279
 forever

00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:25.200
 and ever

00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.299
 and ever?

00:19:27.159 --> 00:19:27.619
 You can

00:19:27.619 --> 00:19:28.339
 imagine a

00:19:28.339 --> 00:19:28.799
 heaven without

00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:29.240
 the glory

00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:29.819
 of God?

00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:30.619
 You have

00:19:30.619 --> 00:19:31.099
 a wrong

00:19:31.099 --> 00:19:31.539
 view of

00:19:31.539 --> 00:19:31.839
 heaven.

00:19:32.500 --> 00:19:33.099
 If you

00:19:33.099 --> 00:19:33.319
 would have

00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:33.659
 all the

00:19:33.659 --> 00:19:34.259
 blessings

00:19:34.259 --> 00:19:36.700
 of heaven

00:19:36.700 --> 00:19:37.599
 apart from

00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:38.039
 God,

00:19:38.579 --> 00:19:38.899
 then you

00:19:38.899 --> 00:19:39.679
 don't love

00:19:39.679 --> 00:19:40.480
 God.

00:19:41.159 --> 00:19:41.639
 He is the

00:19:41.639 --> 00:19:42.079
 center of

00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:42.919
 all that is

00:19:42.919 --> 00:19:43.399
 happening

00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:44.540
 in the

00:19:44.540 --> 00:19:45.000
 forever

00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:46.580
 of our

00:19:46.580 --> 00:19:46.920
 living.

00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:48.660
 Jesus

00:19:48.660 --> 00:19:49.080
 said in

00:19:49.080 --> 00:19:49.900
 John 14

00:19:49.900 --> 00:19:50.680
 verses 2

00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:51.120
 and 3,

00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:52.040
 in my

00:19:52.040 --> 00:19:52.540
 Father's

00:19:52.540 --> 00:19:53.100
 house are

00:19:53.100 --> 00:19:53.580
 many

00:19:53.580 --> 00:19:54.320
 rooms.

00:19:55.080 --> 00:19:55.400
 If it

00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:55.740
 were not

00:19:55.740 --> 00:19:56.160
 so,

00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:56.800
 would I

00:19:56.800 --> 00:19:57.240
 have told

00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:57.519
 you that

00:19:57.519 --> 00:19:57.800
 I go

00:19:57.800 --> 00:19:58.259
 to prepare

00:19:58.259 --> 00:19:58.580
 a place

00:19:58.580 --> 00:19:58.940
 for you?

00:19:59.820 --> 00:20:00.360
 And if

00:20:00.360 --> 00:20:00.820
 I go

00:20:00.820 --> 00:20:01.240
 and prepare

00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:01.640
 a place

00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:02.080
 for you,

00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:03.080
 I will

00:20:03.080 --> 00:20:04.060
 come again

00:20:04.060 --> 00:20:04.820
 and do

00:20:04.820 --> 00:20:05.180
 what?

00:20:05.940 --> 00:20:06.480
 Take us

00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:06.740
 to a

00:20:06.740 --> 00:20:07.140
 place

00:20:07.140 --> 00:20:07.960
 where we're

00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:08.240
 just going

00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:08.400
 to be

00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:08.759
 happy

00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:09.420
 and play

00:20:09.420 --> 00:20:09.800
 and there's

00:20:09.800 --> 00:20:10.100
 going to be

00:20:10.100 --> 00:20:10.500
 streets of

00:20:10.500 --> 00:20:11.000
 gold and

00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:11.420
 all of these

00:20:11.420 --> 00:20:11.740
 things are

00:20:11.740 --> 00:20:11.860
 going to

00:20:11.860 --> 00:20:12.220
 be wonderful,

00:20:12.460 --> 00:20:12.740
 those things

00:20:12.740 --> 00:20:12.920
 are going

00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:12.940
 to be

00:20:12.940 --> 00:20:13.240
 wonderful,

00:20:13.560 --> 00:20:13.840
 those things

00:20:13.840 --> 00:20:14.039
 are going

00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:14.180
 to be

00:20:14.180 --> 00:20:14.420
 true,

00:20:14.500 --> 00:20:14.680
 but what

00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:14.860
 does he

00:20:14.860 --> 00:20:15.240
 say?

00:20:16.120 --> 00:20:16.740
 And take

00:20:16.740 --> 00:20:17.779
 you to

00:20:17.779 --> 00:20:18.900
 myself,

00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:20.259
 that where

00:20:20.259 --> 00:20:21.320
 I am,

00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:23.100
 you may

00:20:23.100 --> 00:20:23.660
 be also.

00:20:24.460 --> 00:20:25.140
 There's the

00:20:25.140 --> 00:20:26.320
 great blessing

00:20:26.320 --> 00:20:28.180
 of life

00:20:28.180 --> 00:20:29.539
 now and

00:20:29.539 --> 00:20:30.420
 life forever

00:20:30.420 --> 00:20:31.560
 more.

00:20:32.580 --> 00:20:33.360
 Being with

00:20:33.360 --> 00:20:34.220
 the triune

00:20:34.220 --> 00:20:35.480
 God is

00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:36.080
 the high

00:20:36.080 --> 00:20:36.980
 promise

00:20:36.980 --> 00:20:38.300
 of heaven.

00:20:39.580 --> 00:20:40.060
 And beloved,

00:20:40.059 --> 00:20:41.579
 we experience

00:20:41.579 --> 00:20:42.179
 that in

00:20:42.179 --> 00:20:43.299
 part now.

00:20:43.460 --> 00:20:44.200
 The baggage

00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:44.539
 of our

00:20:44.539 --> 00:20:45.240
 flesh and

00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:45.839
 the sin

00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:46.119
 of the

00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:46.500
 world,

00:20:47.579 --> 00:20:48.379
 the coming

00:20:48.379 --> 00:20:49.639
 kingdom is

00:20:49.639 --> 00:20:50.399
 being made

00:20:50.399 --> 00:20:51.019
 real and

00:20:51.019 --> 00:20:51.799
 alive in

00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:52.859
 us who

00:20:52.859 --> 00:20:53.159
 have placed

00:20:53.159 --> 00:20:53.700
 our faith

00:20:53.700 --> 00:20:54.720
 in Jesus

00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:55.259
 Christ.

00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:56.799
 The narrow

00:20:56.799 --> 00:20:57.399
 gate leads

00:20:57.399 --> 00:20:57.639
 to a

00:20:57.639 --> 00:20:57.940
 difficult

00:20:57.940 --> 00:20:59.879
 way whose

00:20:59.879 --> 00:21:00.339
 destination

00:21:00.339 --> 00:21:01.480
 is life

00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:02.899
 now and

00:21:02.899 --> 00:21:04.379
 forever

00:21:04.379 --> 00:21:04.799
 more.

00:21:06.419 --> 00:21:06.700
 There's

00:21:06.700 --> 00:21:07.019
 also a

00:21:07.019 --> 00:21:07.599
 people who

00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:08.220
 Jesus here

00:21:08.220 --> 00:21:10.039
 calls the

00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:10.519
 few.

00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:12.799
 The few.

00:21:15.019 --> 00:21:15.519
 Some will

00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:15.839
 say,

00:21:16.299 --> 00:21:17.680
 well that

00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:18.859
 seems so

00:21:18.859 --> 00:21:19.659
 exclusive.

00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:22.200
 And how

00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:22.519
 can I

00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:23.500
 know if

00:21:23.500 --> 00:21:24.619
 I am

00:21:24.619 --> 00:21:26.379
 the few?

00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:28.839
 What about

00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:30.099
 people in

00:21:30.099 --> 00:21:30.579
 the world

00:21:30.579 --> 00:21:30.960
 who have

00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:31.700
 not heard

00:21:31.700 --> 00:21:33.339
 this message?

00:21:33.819 --> 00:21:34.420
 Not heard

00:21:34.420 --> 00:21:36.019
 of Jesus?

00:21:36.019 --> 00:21:36.259
 Jesus.

00:21:37.779 --> 00:21:38.559
 Once again,

00:21:39.259 --> 00:21:39.639
 you may

00:21:39.639 --> 00:21:40.220
 think too

00:21:40.220 --> 00:21:41.019
 much of

00:21:41.019 --> 00:21:41.819
 yourself.

00:21:42.099 --> 00:21:42.400
 You may

00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:43.019
 think too

00:21:43.019 --> 00:21:43.700
 much of

00:21:43.700 --> 00:21:46.099
 humankind.

00:21:47.420 --> 00:21:48.180
 God has

00:21:48.180 --> 00:21:49.039
 proved himself

00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:50.139
 gracious and

00:21:50.139 --> 00:21:51.480
 merciful in

00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:52.720
 saving even

00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:54.500
 one sinner.

00:21:55.500 --> 00:21:56.059
 If God

00:21:56.059 --> 00:21:56.680
 came and

00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:57.420
 simply saved

00:21:57.420 --> 00:21:58.220
 a single

00:21:58.220 --> 00:22:00.379
 human in

00:22:00.379 --> 00:22:01.819
 fallen history,

00:22:01.819 --> 00:22:02.599
 he would

00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:03.480
 show himself

00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:04.720
 to be far

00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:05.299
 and above

00:22:05.299 --> 00:22:07.259
 gracious and

00:22:07.259 --> 00:22:07.700
 merciful.

00:22:08.259 --> 00:22:08.700
 We could

00:22:08.700 --> 00:22:09.799
 ever expect

00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:10.679
 of him.

00:22:12.299 --> 00:22:12.960
 Listen to

00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:13.240
 Jesus'

00:22:13.419 --> 00:22:13.879
 answer to

00:22:13.879 --> 00:22:14.119
 a very

00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:14.500
 similar

00:22:14.500 --> 00:22:14.919
 question.

00:22:15.019 --> 00:22:15.379
 This idea

00:22:15.379 --> 00:22:15.619
 of, well

00:22:15.619 --> 00:22:16.039
 that seems

00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:16.619
 a scoofer,

00:22:16.779 --> 00:22:17.179
 how can I

00:22:17.179 --> 00:22:17.740
 know if I'm

00:22:17.740 --> 00:22:18.619
 the few?

00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:19.379
 In Luke

00:22:19.379 --> 00:22:20.279
 chapter 13

00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:20.939
 verse 23

00:22:20.939 --> 00:22:21.539
 and 24,

00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:22.299
 someone said

00:22:22.299 --> 00:22:22.859
 to him,

00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:24.299
 Luke records,

00:22:25.059 --> 00:22:25.500
 Lord will

00:22:25.500 --> 00:22:26.099
 those who

00:22:26.099 --> 00:22:26.899
 are saved

00:22:26.899 --> 00:22:28.119
 be few?

00:22:28.899 --> 00:22:29.359
 And I

00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:30.019
 love Jesus'

00:22:30.019 --> 00:22:30.740
 answer to

00:22:30.740 --> 00:22:31.059
 this.

00:22:31.539 --> 00:22:31.859
 He doesn't

00:22:31.859 --> 00:22:32.420
 go, well

00:22:32.420 --> 00:22:32.900
 let's talk

00:22:32.900 --> 00:22:33.279
 about the

00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:33.559
 number.

00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:34.619
 He says

00:22:34.619 --> 00:22:34.960
 to this

00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:35.480
 person,

00:22:36.379 --> 00:22:37.700
 strive to

00:22:37.700 --> 00:22:38.839
 enter through

00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:39.559
 the narrow

00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:40.559
 door.

00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:42.639
 For many

00:22:42.639 --> 00:22:43.279
 I tell you

00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:43.680
 will seek

00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:44.119
 to enter

00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:45.200
 and will

00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:45.660
 not be

00:22:45.660 --> 00:22:45.980
 able.

00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:47.160
 Strive.

00:22:47.259 --> 00:22:47.639
 That's the

00:22:47.639 --> 00:22:48.039
 answer.

00:22:48.779 --> 00:22:49.500
 God is

00:22:49.500 --> 00:22:50.099
 gracious and

00:22:50.099 --> 00:22:50.420
 merciful.

00:22:50.660 --> 00:22:51.059
 God has

00:22:51.059 --> 00:22:51.440
 made a

00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:51.759
 way.

00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:53.299
 Strive to

00:22:53.299 --> 00:22:55.019
 enter by

00:22:55.019 --> 00:22:55.759
 that way.

00:22:56.779 --> 00:22:57.299
 Strive.

00:22:57.839 --> 00:22:58.339
 Seek the

00:22:58.339 --> 00:22:58.660
 way.

00:22:59.220 --> 00:22:59.759
 Be counted

00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:00.359
 amongst the

00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:00.680
 few.

00:23:02.660 --> 00:23:03.379
 And allow

00:23:03.379 --> 00:23:03.799
 me to

00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:04.519
 expound upon

00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:04.900
 the grace

00:23:04.900 --> 00:23:05.220
 and mercy

00:23:05.220 --> 00:23:05.500
 of our

00:23:05.500 --> 00:23:06.079
 God from

00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:06.400
 the book

00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:07.039
 of Revelation.

00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:07.700
 So as we

00:23:07.700 --> 00:23:09.039
 maybe grapple

00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:09.279
 a little

00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:09.619
 with this

00:23:09.619 --> 00:23:10.519
 idea of

00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:11.740
 few and

00:23:11.740 --> 00:23:12.900
 many,

00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:14.460
 find this

00:23:14.460 --> 00:23:14.879
 a comfort.

00:23:15.019 --> 00:23:15.259
 John's

00:23:15.259 --> 00:23:15.759
 vision of

00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:16.059
 heaven.

00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:16.500
 Revelation

00:23:16.500 --> 00:23:17.539
 chapter 7

00:23:17.539 --> 00:23:18.700
 verse 9

00:23:18.700 --> 00:23:19.279
 and following

00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:19.879
 John says

00:23:19.879 --> 00:23:20.379
 after this I

00:23:20.379 --> 00:23:20.740
 looked and

00:23:20.740 --> 00:23:21.779
 behold a

00:23:21.779 --> 00:23:22.980
 great multitude

00:23:22.980 --> 00:23:24.000
 that no one

00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:25.240
 could number

00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:26.160
 from every

00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:26.720
 nation,

00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:27.379
 from all

00:23:27.379 --> 00:23:28.059
 tribes and

00:23:28.059 --> 00:23:28.599
 peoples and

00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:28.980
 languages,

00:23:28.980 --> 00:23:29.880
 standing before

00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:30.519
 the throne and

00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:31.000
 before the

00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:31.740
 Lamb clothed

00:23:31.740 --> 00:23:32.079
 in white

00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:32.960
 robes with

00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:33.680
 palm branches

00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:34.019
 in their

00:23:34.019 --> 00:23:34.860
 hands and

00:23:34.860 --> 00:23:35.579
 crying out

00:23:35.579 --> 00:23:36.279
 with a loud

00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:37.180
 voice,

00:23:37.660 --> 00:23:38.960
 salvation belongs

00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:39.660
 to our God

00:23:39.660 --> 00:23:40.240
 who sits on

00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:40.779
 the throne

00:23:40.779 --> 00:23:42.099
 and to the

00:23:42.099 --> 00:23:42.500
 Lamb.

00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:44.339
 There's a

00:23:44.339 --> 00:23:45.360
 great multitude

00:23:45.360 --> 00:23:47.279
 gathered in

00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:47.640
 heaven.

00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:49.059
 And so I

00:23:49.059 --> 00:23:49.660
 don't know.

00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:50.960
 I think that

00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:52.019
 Jesus is using

00:23:52.019 --> 00:23:53.079
 this language

00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:55.919
 to press us

00:23:55.919 --> 00:23:56.740
 to strive,

00:23:57.199 --> 00:23:57.399
 right?

00:23:57.659 --> 00:23:58.539
 To help us

00:23:58.539 --> 00:23:59.299
 to look around

00:23:59.299 --> 00:23:59.960
 at all the

00:23:59.960 --> 00:24:01.019
 ways that

00:24:01.019 --> 00:24:01.460
 people are

00:24:01.460 --> 00:24:02.199
 going in the

00:24:02.199 --> 00:24:02.699
 world and

00:24:02.699 --> 00:24:03.319
 see that as

00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:04.159
 the broad

00:24:04.159 --> 00:24:04.980
 and not the

00:24:04.980 --> 00:24:05.240
 narrow.

00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:07.220
 And to seek

00:24:07.220 --> 00:24:08.480
 to enter by

00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:10.039
 the narrow

00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:11.299
 gate.

00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:13.980
 And there are

00:24:13.980 --> 00:24:14.539
 many cries

00:24:14.539 --> 00:24:15.379
 against this

00:24:15.379 --> 00:24:15.939
 teaching.

00:24:17.740 --> 00:24:19.059
 The exclusivity

00:24:19.059 --> 00:24:20.399
 of the

00:24:20.399 --> 00:24:20.799
 gospel.

00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:21.460
 It says

00:24:21.460 --> 00:24:21.819
 that people

00:24:21.819 --> 00:24:23.039
 must come

00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:23.940
 to God

00:24:23.940 --> 00:24:25.899
 by Christ.

00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:27.339
 It goes

00:24:27.339 --> 00:24:28.019
 something like,

00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:28.720
 how can a

00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:29.599
 loving God

00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:32.859
 wants to

00:24:32.859 --> 00:24:34.419
 answer with,

00:24:34.500 --> 00:24:34.559
 well,

00:24:34.579 --> 00:24:35.039
 there's many

00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:35.599
 ways.

00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:35.919
 We're to

00:24:35.919 --> 00:24:36.519
 seek our

00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:36.899
 way.

00:24:37.019 --> 00:24:37.259
 We're to

00:24:37.259 --> 00:24:38.220
 find our

00:24:38.220 --> 00:24:39.480
 way.

00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:40.700
 Many

00:24:40.700 --> 00:24:41.639
 contemporaries

00:24:41.639 --> 00:24:42.419
 of our day

00:24:42.419 --> 00:24:43.180
 say things

00:24:43.180 --> 00:24:43.879
 like this.

00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:46.159
 Our answer

00:24:46.159 --> 00:24:46.740
 to such

00:24:46.740 --> 00:24:47.180
 objection

00:24:47.180 --> 00:24:47.819
 should be,

00:24:48.500 --> 00:24:48.720
 oh,

00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:49.220
 but there

00:24:49.220 --> 00:24:50.440
 is a

00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:50.740
 way.

00:24:51.220 --> 00:24:52.379
 Praise God.

00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:52.859
 It's a

00:24:52.859 --> 00:24:53.460
 single way,

00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:53.859
 but there

00:24:53.859 --> 00:24:56.180
 is a

00:24:56.180 --> 00:24:56.579
 way.

00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:59.139
 And we

00:24:59.139 --> 00:24:59.720
 should go

00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:00.500
 and share

00:25:00.500 --> 00:25:01.319
 that way

00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:02.359
 with everyone

00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:03.919
 everywhere.

00:25:05.559 --> 00:25:06.419
 I've received

00:25:06.419 --> 00:25:07.339
 this objection,

00:25:07.639 --> 00:25:07.819
 somebody

00:25:07.819 --> 00:25:09.200
 rejecting the

00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:09.500
 gospel,

00:25:09.779 --> 00:25:10.759
 when I'm

00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:11.319
 sharing the

00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:12.019
 gospel with

00:25:12.019 --> 00:25:12.279
 them.

00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:12.740
 And that's

00:25:12.740 --> 00:25:12.859
 what I've

00:25:12.859 --> 00:25:12.940
 said.

00:25:12.980 --> 00:25:13.259
 I've simply

00:25:13.259 --> 00:25:13.579
 said,

00:25:13.740 --> 00:25:14.519
 but I'm

00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:15.019
 telling you

00:25:15.019 --> 00:25:15.419
 the way.

00:25:16.379 --> 00:25:16.639
 And you

00:25:16.639 --> 00:25:16.859
 have to

00:25:16.859 --> 00:25:17.379
 understand.

00:25:17.899 --> 00:25:18.839
 And people

00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:19.180
 who are not

00:25:19.180 --> 00:25:19.619
 followers of

00:25:19.619 --> 00:25:19.980
 Christ should

00:25:19.980 --> 00:25:20.339
 have great

00:25:20.339 --> 00:25:20.900
 sympathy for

00:25:20.900 --> 00:25:21.279
 Christians

00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:21.759
 because we're

00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:22.480
 simply being

00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:24.039
 consistent if

00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:24.420
 we try to

00:25:24.420 --> 00:25:25.480
 convert people

00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:26.120
 to follow

00:25:26.120 --> 00:25:26.660
 Jesus,

00:25:26.980 --> 00:25:27.460
 who said,

00:25:27.579 --> 00:25:27.799
 I'm the

00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:28.120
 way,

00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:28.740
 the truth,

00:25:29.420 --> 00:25:29.700
 and the

00:25:29.700 --> 00:25:29.900
 life.

00:25:29.940 --> 00:25:30.120
 We are

00:25:30.120 --> 00:25:30.660
 the worst

00:25:30.660 --> 00:25:31.279
 of hypocrites.

00:25:31.819 --> 00:25:32.240
 If we

00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:32.740
 believe that

00:25:32.740 --> 00:25:33.240
 to be true,

00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:33.599
 we don't

00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:34.360
 tell people

00:25:34.360 --> 00:25:35.680
 that good

00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:36.980
 news.

00:25:37.980 --> 00:25:38.620
 Paul says

00:25:38.620 --> 00:25:39.019
 in Romans

00:25:39.019 --> 00:25:39.779
 chapter 10,

00:25:39.900 --> 00:25:40.440
 verse 14

00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:40.920
 and following,

00:25:41.860 --> 00:25:42.420
 how then

00:25:42.420 --> 00:25:42.680
 will they

00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:43.599
 call on him

00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:44.000
 in whom

00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:44.460
 they have

00:25:44.460 --> 00:25:44.660
 not

00:25:44.660 --> 00:25:45.059
 believed?

00:25:45.140 --> 00:25:45.680
 It's rhetorical.

00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:46.320
 They can't.

00:25:47.320 --> 00:25:48.120
 And how

00:25:48.120 --> 00:25:48.500
 are they to

00:25:48.500 --> 00:25:48.900
 believe in

00:25:48.900 --> 00:25:49.480
 him of whom

00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:49.740
 they have

00:25:49.740 --> 00:25:50.500
 never heard?

00:25:50.660 --> 00:25:51.000
 Again,

00:25:51.100 --> 00:25:51.580
 rhetorical.

00:25:52.460 --> 00:25:53.180
 They can't.

00:25:53.600 --> 00:25:54.340
 And how

00:25:54.340 --> 00:25:54.720
 are they to

00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:55.400
 hear without

00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:56.080
 someone

00:25:56.080 --> 00:25:57.100
 preaching?

00:25:58.299 --> 00:25:59.320
 They can't.

00:25:59.420 --> 00:25:59.980
 The word of

00:25:59.980 --> 00:26:00.500
 God has to

00:26:00.500 --> 00:26:01.539
 come to

00:26:01.539 --> 00:26:02.440
 people to

00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:02.960
 believe in

00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:03.720
 Christ.

00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:05.440
 And how

00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:05.920
 are they to

00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:07.259
 preach unless

00:26:07.259 --> 00:26:07.720
 they are

00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:08.779
 sent?

00:26:09.320 --> 00:26:10.180
 They can't.

00:26:10.180 --> 00:26:12.420
 as it is

00:26:12.420 --> 00:26:12.600
 written,

00:26:12.700 --> 00:26:13.200
 how beautiful

00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:13.620
 are the feet

00:26:13.620 --> 00:26:14.060
 of those

00:26:14.060 --> 00:26:14.720
 who preach

00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:15.860
 the good

00:26:15.860 --> 00:26:16.779
 news.

00:26:17.900 --> 00:26:18.180
 But they

00:26:18.180 --> 00:26:18.440
 have not

00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:18.960
 all obeyed

00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:19.380
 the gospel

00:26:19.380 --> 00:26:19.880
 for Isaiah

00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:20.320
 says,

00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:20.700
 Lord,

00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:21.060
 who has

00:26:21.060 --> 00:26:21.560
 believed

00:26:21.560 --> 00:26:21.960
 what he

00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:22.460
 has heard

00:26:22.460 --> 00:26:23.960
 from us?

00:26:24.580 --> 00:26:24.740
 And then

00:26:24.740 --> 00:26:25.580
 verse 17

00:26:25.580 --> 00:26:25.960
 says,

00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:26.539
 so faith

00:26:26.539 --> 00:26:27.380
 comes from

00:26:27.380 --> 00:26:27.799
 hearing,

00:26:28.299 --> 00:26:29.100
 and hearing

00:26:29.100 --> 00:26:30.140
 through the

00:26:30.140 --> 00:26:31.880
 word of

00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:32.320
 Christ.

00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:34.120
 Jesus Christ

00:26:34.120 --> 00:26:34.860
 is the way,

00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:35.740
 the truth,

00:26:36.060 --> 00:26:36.779
 and the life.

00:26:37.140 --> 00:26:37.420
 He's the

00:26:37.420 --> 00:26:38.019
 narrow way,

00:26:38.580 --> 00:26:39.160
 leads to a

00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:40.160
 difficult path,

00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:40.420
 path,

00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:41.320
 whose

00:26:41.320 --> 00:26:41.860
 destination

00:26:41.860 --> 00:26:43.800
 is life.

00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:46.660
 Now let's

00:26:46.660 --> 00:26:48.180
 consider the

00:26:48.180 --> 00:26:48.700
 wide gate,

00:26:48.800 --> 00:26:49.120
 the easy

00:26:49.120 --> 00:26:49.460
 way,

00:26:50.120 --> 00:26:50.920
 the destination

00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:51.680
 called

00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:52.480
 destruction,

00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:54.380
 and the

00:26:54.380 --> 00:26:54.580
 many.

00:26:55.800 --> 00:26:56.240
 We can do

00:26:56.240 --> 00:26:56.680
 this a bit

00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:57.200
 more briefly

00:26:57.200 --> 00:26:57.620
 because we're

00:26:57.620 --> 00:26:58.300
 talking about

00:26:58.300 --> 00:26:59.240
 everything else

00:26:59.240 --> 00:26:59.720
 that I haven't

00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:00.060
 mentioned

00:27:00.060 --> 00:27:00.720
 already.

00:27:02.500 --> 00:27:03.100
 Recall

00:27:03.100 --> 00:27:04.240
 that all

00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:04.779
 throughout the

00:27:04.779 --> 00:27:05.140
 Sermon on

00:27:05.140 --> 00:27:05.560
 the Mount,

00:27:06.660 --> 00:27:07.160
 Jesus has

00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:07.660
 not been

00:27:07.660 --> 00:27:08.779
 speaking against

00:27:08.779 --> 00:27:09.759
 a godlessness

00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:10.799
 that denies

00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:11.559
 the existence

00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:12.980
 of a god.

00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:14.160
 His original

00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:14.960
 audience are not

00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:15.319
 people who

00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:15.920
 denied that

00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:16.519
 there was

00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:17.140
 a god,

00:27:17.879 --> 00:27:18.740
 but rather

00:27:18.740 --> 00:27:19.539
 a godlessness

00:27:19.539 --> 00:27:20.819
 that worshipped

00:27:20.819 --> 00:27:22.440
 the right god,

00:27:22.980 --> 00:27:23.839
 but in the

00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:25.299
 wrong way.

00:27:26.339 --> 00:27:26.759
 He is

00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:27.460
 specifically

00:27:27.460 --> 00:27:29.339
 going after

00:27:29.339 --> 00:27:30.400
 the Phariseeism

00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:31.779
 of his day.

00:27:31.779 --> 00:27:32.920
 and I

00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:33.379
 would suggest

00:27:33.379 --> 00:27:33.920
 to you

00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:35.539
 the pluralistic

00:27:35.539 --> 00:27:36.379
 relativism

00:27:36.379 --> 00:27:37.680
 of our

00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:38.039
 day.

00:27:39.039 --> 00:27:39.759
 He is

00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:40.420
 teaching us

00:27:40.420 --> 00:27:40.680
 that there

00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:41.539
 are countless

00:27:41.539 --> 00:27:42.539
 wrong ways

00:27:42.539 --> 00:27:43.500
 to worship

00:27:43.500 --> 00:27:43.920
 the right

00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:44.299
 god,

00:27:44.299 --> 00:27:45.599
 as well as

00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:46.119
 countless

00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:46.899
 wrong ways

00:27:46.899 --> 00:27:47.639
 to worship

00:27:47.639 --> 00:27:48.740
 the wrong.

00:27:50.420 --> 00:27:51.339
 The destination

00:27:51.339 --> 00:27:53.039
 sign over the

00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:54.000
 difficult way

00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:58.039
 over the

00:27:58.039 --> 00:27:58.779
 difficult way

00:27:58.779 --> 00:27:59.920
 says heaven.

00:28:00.579 --> 00:28:01.579
 We enter the

00:28:01.579 --> 00:28:02.200
 narrow gate

00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:03.059
 over the

00:28:03.059 --> 00:28:03.700
 difficult way

00:28:03.700 --> 00:28:04.579
 says destination

00:28:04.579 --> 00:28:05.500
 heaven.

00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:08.200
 The destination

00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:09.019
 sign over the

00:28:09.019 --> 00:28:09.660
 easy way

00:28:09.660 --> 00:28:10.279
 does not

00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:11.980
 say hell,

00:28:12.500 --> 00:28:13.500
 but also

00:28:13.500 --> 00:28:15.399
 says heaven.

00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:15.500
 heaven.

00:28:17.940 --> 00:28:18.740
 Jesus makes

00:28:18.740 --> 00:28:19.200
 it clear

00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:19.660
 that if we

00:28:19.660 --> 00:28:20.100
 do not

00:28:20.100 --> 00:28:20.460
 enter the

00:28:20.460 --> 00:28:21.040
 difficult way

00:28:21.040 --> 00:28:21.300
 by the

00:28:21.300 --> 00:28:21.940
 narrow gate,

00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:23.200
 that we

00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:23.480
 will be

00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:24.340
 deceived into

00:28:24.340 --> 00:28:25.180
 thinking that

00:28:25.180 --> 00:28:25.420
 we are

00:28:25.420 --> 00:28:26.540
 headed to

00:28:26.540 --> 00:28:26.980
 life,

00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:28.180
 but that we

00:28:28.180 --> 00:28:28.759
 are in

00:28:28.759 --> 00:28:29.759
 actuality

00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:31.220
 headed to

00:28:31.220 --> 00:28:31.740
 destruction.

00:28:33.820 --> 00:28:34.640
 The one

00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:35.519
 who reigns

00:28:35.519 --> 00:28:36.980
 over the

00:28:36.980 --> 00:28:37.600
 broad and

00:28:37.600 --> 00:28:38.900
 easy path,

00:28:40.380 --> 00:28:40.640
 Satan

00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:41.380
 himself

00:28:41.380 --> 00:28:42.360
 puts up

00:28:42.360 --> 00:28:43.060
 that destination

00:28:43.060 --> 00:28:43.560
 sign.

00:28:44.320 --> 00:28:44.600
 Oh,

00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:44.939
 there are

00:28:44.939 --> 00:28:45.740
 many ways

00:28:45.740 --> 00:28:46.839
 to heaven.

00:28:47.459 --> 00:28:48.240
 It could

00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:48.859
 look like

00:28:48.859 --> 00:28:50.000
 this or

00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:50.819
 this or

00:28:50.819 --> 00:28:51.439
 this.

00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:53.319
 And the

00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:54.659
 end is

00:28:54.659 --> 00:28:55.179
 destruction.

00:28:56.579 --> 00:28:56.879
 Proverbs

00:28:56.879 --> 00:28:57.619
 14.12

00:28:57.619 --> 00:28:58.099
 says there

00:28:58.099 --> 00:28:58.459
 is a way

00:28:58.459 --> 00:28:58.839
 that seems

00:28:58.839 --> 00:28:59.339
 right to

00:28:59.339 --> 00:28:59.759
 a man,

00:29:00.159 --> 00:29:00.699
 but its

00:29:00.699 --> 00:29:01.359
 end is

00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:01.919
 the way

00:29:01.919 --> 00:29:03.419
 to death.

00:29:04.259 --> 00:29:05.139
 I'm so

00:29:05.139 --> 00:29:05.519
 thankful

00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:06.919
 that God

00:29:06.919 --> 00:29:07.519
 has humbled

00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:09.219
 me and

00:29:09.219 --> 00:29:09.599
 helped me

00:29:09.599 --> 00:29:09.959
 to know

00:29:09.959 --> 00:29:10.359
 that there

00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:10.959
 is nothing

00:29:10.959 --> 00:29:11.959
 good within

00:29:11.959 --> 00:29:13.539
 me and I

00:29:13.539 --> 00:29:14.099
 must look

00:29:14.099 --> 00:29:15.480
 without me.

00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:16.159
 I must

00:29:16.159 --> 00:29:16.659
 look to

00:29:16.659 --> 00:29:17.299
 Christ.

00:29:17.859 --> 00:29:18.519
 I must

00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:19.119
 find the

00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:20.899
 answer to

00:29:20.899 --> 00:29:21.219
 the way

00:29:21.219 --> 00:29:21.740
 of life

00:29:21.740 --> 00:29:22.899
 from him,

00:29:23.199 --> 00:29:23.839
 not from

00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:25.359
 myself.

00:29:27.099 --> 00:29:27.480
 Now,

00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:27.599
 I would

00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:27.859
 like to

00:29:27.859 --> 00:29:28.279
 illustrate

00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:29.079
 the

00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:31.179
 broad

00:29:31.179 --> 00:29:31.659
 path

00:29:31.659 --> 00:29:34.019
 for you

00:29:34.019 --> 00:29:34.740
 with a

00:29:34.740 --> 00:29:35.099
 reading from

00:29:35.099 --> 00:29:35.199
 the

00:29:35.199 --> 00:29:35.480
 Pilgrim's

00:29:35.480 --> 00:29:35.699
 Progress.

00:29:35.919 --> 00:29:36.079
 So,

00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:36.799
 I hope you

00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:36.980
 got a

00:29:36.980 --> 00:29:37.299
 bulletin in

00:29:37.299 --> 00:29:37.619
 your hands.

00:29:37.659 --> 00:29:37.819
 You can

00:29:37.819 --> 00:29:38.079
 flip it

00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:38.279
 over.

00:29:38.379 --> 00:29:38.519
 You're

00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:38.599
 going to

00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:38.859
 see a

00:29:38.859 --> 00:29:39.119
 lot of

00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:39.839
 stuff on

00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:40.079
 the back

00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:40.339
 of it.

00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:44.959
 As I

00:29:44.959 --> 00:29:45.839
 said in

00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:46.659
 the welcome,

00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:47.959
 this is a

00:29:47.959 --> 00:29:48.219
 book that

00:29:48.219 --> 00:29:48.639
 everybody should

00:29:48.639 --> 00:29:48.899
 read.

00:29:50.299 --> 00:29:50.739
 You can

00:29:50.739 --> 00:29:51.379
 find modern

00:29:51.379 --> 00:29:52.019
 English versions

00:29:52.019 --> 00:29:52.619
 of it if

00:29:52.619 --> 00:29:53.059
 this language

00:29:53.059 --> 00:29:53.500
 is scary

00:29:53.500 --> 00:29:53.959
 to you.

00:29:56.619 --> 00:29:57.119
 It was

00:29:57.119 --> 00:29:57.419
 written by

00:29:57.419 --> 00:29:57.819
 a man named

00:29:57.819 --> 00:29:58.459
 John Bunyan,

00:29:58.739 --> 00:29:59.219
 the pastor,

00:30:00.219 --> 00:30:01.559
 in 1678.

00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:03.679
 He began

00:30:03.679 --> 00:30:04.219
 the writing

00:30:04.219 --> 00:30:04.579
 of this

00:30:04.579 --> 00:30:05.179
 work while

00:30:05.179 --> 00:30:05.739
 he was in

00:30:05.739 --> 00:30:06.359
 prison.

00:30:07.259 --> 00:30:07.500
 He was

00:30:07.500 --> 00:30:07.759
 on the

00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:08.139
 difficult

00:30:08.139 --> 00:30:08.659
 way.

00:30:09.439 --> 00:30:09.699
 He was

00:30:09.699 --> 00:30:10.279
 in prison

00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:11.439
 for preaching

00:30:11.439 --> 00:30:11.939
 the gospel

00:30:11.939 --> 00:30:12.500
 of Jesus

00:30:12.500 --> 00:30:12.939
 Christ.

00:30:13.099 --> 00:30:13.459
 He wasn't

00:30:13.459 --> 00:30:14.079
 sanctioned by

00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:14.539
 the state

00:30:14.539 --> 00:30:15.199
 to be a

00:30:15.199 --> 00:30:15.500
 preacher,

00:30:15.939 --> 00:30:16.759
 but he did

00:30:16.759 --> 00:30:17.240
 it anyway

00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:17.659
 because for

00:30:17.659 --> 00:30:18.019
 him to be

00:30:18.019 --> 00:30:18.419
 sanctioned by

00:30:18.419 --> 00:30:18.759
 the state

00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:19.079
 he would

00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:19.419
 have to

00:30:19.419 --> 00:30:19.759
 not

00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:20.000
 preach

00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:20.459
 the gospel

00:30:20.459 --> 00:30:22.199
 of Jesus

00:30:22.199 --> 00:30:22.699
 Christ.

00:30:23.539 --> 00:30:24.139
 In fact,

00:30:24.659 --> 00:30:25.399
 when he was

00:30:25.399 --> 00:30:25.740
 thrown in

00:30:25.740 --> 00:30:26.139
 prison he

00:30:26.139 --> 00:30:26.559
 would stand

00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:26.959
 out in the

00:30:26.959 --> 00:30:27.559
 courtyard and

00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:27.919
 preach and

00:30:27.919 --> 00:30:28.299
 people would

00:30:28.299 --> 00:30:29.240
 gather around

00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:29.759
 the prison

00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:30.699
 walls to

00:30:30.699 --> 00:30:31.819
 hear John

00:30:31.819 --> 00:30:32.139
 Bunyan

00:30:32.139 --> 00:30:33.099
 preach.

00:30:33.639 --> 00:30:33.839
 And so

00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:34.399
 they put

00:30:34.399 --> 00:30:35.599
 him in a

00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:36.339
 cellar.

00:30:36.719 --> 00:30:37.259
 A dank

00:30:37.259 --> 00:30:38.139
 dungeness

00:30:38.139 --> 00:30:38.959
 part of

00:30:38.959 --> 00:30:39.599
 the prison.

00:30:40.099 --> 00:30:40.419
 And he

00:30:40.419 --> 00:30:40.799
 had with

00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:41.199
 him a

00:30:41.199 --> 00:30:42.939
 Bible and

00:30:42.939 --> 00:30:43.279
 he had a

00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:43.799
 copy of

00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:44.459
 in his

00:30:44.459 --> 00:30:45.319
 day the

00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:45.819
 version of

00:30:45.819 --> 00:30:46.379
 Fox's Book

00:30:46.379 --> 00:30:47.000
 of Martyrs

00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:47.859
 in his

00:30:47.859 --> 00:30:48.119
 day.

00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:48.559
 These were

00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:48.819
 the two

00:30:48.819 --> 00:30:49.299
 things that

00:30:49.299 --> 00:30:49.579
 were a

00:30:49.579 --> 00:30:50.099
 comfort to

00:30:50.099 --> 00:30:51.579
 him in

00:30:51.579 --> 00:30:52.199
 that place.

00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:52.979
 And he

00:30:52.979 --> 00:30:53.679
 began to

00:30:53.679 --> 00:30:54.699
 write the

00:30:54.699 --> 00:30:55.139
 story that

00:30:55.139 --> 00:30:55.559
 we call

00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:56.639
 The Pilgrim's

00:30:56.639 --> 00:30:57.259
 Progress which

00:30:57.259 --> 00:30:57.779
 is about the

00:30:57.779 --> 00:30:59.240
 journey of

00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:00.000
 a man named

00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:01.299
 Christian and

00:31:01.299 --> 00:31:01.959
 later his

00:31:01.959 --> 00:31:02.679
 wife whose

00:31:02.679 --> 00:31:03.099
 name is

00:31:03.099 --> 00:31:04.039
 Christiana.

00:31:05.139 --> 00:31:05.579
 Where we

00:31:05.579 --> 00:31:06.019
 are in

00:31:06.019 --> 00:31:06.639
 the story

00:31:06.639 --> 00:31:09.279
 he's come

00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:10.139
 through a

00:31:10.139 --> 00:31:10.819
 narrow gate

00:31:10.819 --> 00:31:11.519
 it's called

00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:11.839
 in the story

00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:12.220
 the Wicker

00:31:12.220 --> 00:31:12.419
 Gate.

00:31:12.500 --> 00:31:12.639
 It's a

00:31:12.639 --> 00:31:13.399
 wooden gate

00:31:13.399 --> 00:31:13.859
 that he's

00:31:13.859 --> 00:31:14.460
 come through.

00:31:14.939 --> 00:31:15.539
 He's carrying

00:31:15.539 --> 00:31:16.139
 this burden

00:31:16.139 --> 00:31:16.899
 of sin on

00:31:16.899 --> 00:31:17.579
 his back and

00:31:17.579 --> 00:31:18.379
 he goes to

00:31:18.379 --> 00:31:18.960
 the cross

00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:19.359
 where the

00:31:19.359 --> 00:31:20.359
 burden falls

00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:20.759
 off.

00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:21.399
 He's given

00:31:21.399 --> 00:31:22.000
 some things

00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:22.559
 in the process

00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:22.879
 of that.

00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:23.379
 One of them

00:31:23.379 --> 00:31:23.639
 we're going to

00:31:23.639 --> 00:31:24.019
 see in our

00:31:24.019 --> 00:31:24.939
 reading is a

00:31:24.939 --> 00:31:25.460
 cloak that's

00:31:25.460 --> 00:31:25.919
 given to him

00:31:25.919 --> 00:31:26.740
 to cover his

00:31:26.740 --> 00:31:27.240
 nakedness.

00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:28.319
 He's clothed

00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:29.679
 in Christ.

00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:30.560
 And he

00:31:30.560 --> 00:31:31.080
 meets two

00:31:31.080 --> 00:31:31.860
 characters as

00:31:31.860 --> 00:31:32.720
 he's traveling

00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:33.500
 on his way

00:31:33.500 --> 00:31:34.539
 to what Bunyan

00:31:34.539 --> 00:31:35.240
 calls the

00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:36.299
 celestial city

00:31:36.299 --> 00:31:36.740
 and you'll

00:31:36.740 --> 00:31:37.120
 see them

00:31:37.120 --> 00:31:37.480
 call it

00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:38.060
 Mount Zion

00:31:38.060 --> 00:31:39.759
 here in

00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:40.420
 our text.

00:31:41.560 --> 00:31:41.740
 So we

00:31:41.740 --> 00:31:41.940
 begin.

00:31:43.019 --> 00:31:43.220
 He,

00:31:43.340 --> 00:31:43.640
 this is

00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:44.180
 Christian,

00:31:44.420 --> 00:31:45.380
 espied two

00:31:45.380 --> 00:31:46.600
 men come

00:31:46.600 --> 00:31:48.039
 tumbling over

00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:49.580
 the wall on

00:31:49.580 --> 00:31:50.380
 the left hand

00:31:50.380 --> 00:31:51.120
 of the narrow

00:31:51.120 --> 00:31:51.660
 way.

00:31:52.140 --> 00:31:52.380
 So they

00:31:52.380 --> 00:31:52.740
 didn't come

00:31:52.740 --> 00:31:53.140
 by the narrow

00:31:53.140 --> 00:31:53.380
 gate.

00:31:53.460 --> 00:31:53.759
 They've come

00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:54.700
 tumbling over

00:31:54.700 --> 00:31:56.080
 the wall

00:31:56.080 --> 00:31:57.240
 and they

00:31:57.240 --> 00:31:57.860
 made up

00:31:57.860 --> 00:31:58.420
 a pace

00:31:58.420 --> 00:31:58.940
 to him.

00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:00.059
 The name

00:32:00.059 --> 00:32:00.580
 of the one

00:32:00.580 --> 00:32:02.120
 was formalist.

00:32:02.259 --> 00:32:02.799
 That's a person

00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:03.240
 who keeps

00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:03.980
 very carefully

00:32:03.980 --> 00:32:05.460
 the law.

00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:07.019
 And the name

00:32:07.019 --> 00:32:07.440
 of the other

00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:09.000
 was hypocrisy.

00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:10.080
 One who says

00:32:10.080 --> 00:32:10.720
 they do but

00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:11.539
 in actuality

00:32:11.539 --> 00:32:12.500
 don't.

00:32:12.660 --> 00:32:13.200
 Formalist

00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:14.519
 and hypocrisy.

00:32:15.380 --> 00:32:16.160
 So as I

00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:16.420
 said,

00:32:16.500 --> 00:32:17.180
 they drew up

00:32:17.180 --> 00:32:17.900
 unto him

00:32:17.900 --> 00:32:18.480
 who thus

00:32:18.480 --> 00:32:19.160
 entered with

00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:20.019
 them into

00:32:20.019 --> 00:32:20.539
 discourse.

00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:21.000
 They started

00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:21.360
 talking.

00:32:21.539 --> 00:32:21.620
 That's what

00:32:21.620 --> 00:32:21.920
 that means.

00:32:23.120 --> 00:32:23.460
 Gentlemen,

00:32:23.700 --> 00:32:24.299
 whence came

00:32:24.299 --> 00:32:24.799
 you and

00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:25.839
 whither go

00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:26.119
 you?

00:32:27.159 --> 00:32:27.740
 We were

00:32:27.740 --> 00:32:28.259
 born in

00:32:28.259 --> 00:32:28.579
 the land

00:32:28.579 --> 00:32:29.139
 of vain

00:32:29.139 --> 00:32:30.019
 glory and

00:32:30.019 --> 00:32:30.519
 are going

00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:31.319
 for praise

00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:31.799
 to Mount

00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:32.240
 Zion.

00:32:33.379 --> 00:32:34.259
 Why came

00:32:34.259 --> 00:32:34.759
 you not

00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:35.299
 in at the

00:32:35.299 --> 00:32:35.960
 gate which

00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:36.680
 standeth at

00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:37.200
 the beginning

00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:38.559
 of the way?

00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:39.700
 Know you

00:32:39.700 --> 00:32:40.279
 not that it

00:32:40.279 --> 00:32:40.680
 is written

00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:41.259
 that he

00:32:41.259 --> 00:32:41.919
 that cometh

00:32:41.919 --> 00:32:42.659
 not in

00:32:42.659 --> 00:32:43.019
 by the

00:32:43.019 --> 00:32:43.539
 door but

00:32:43.539 --> 00:32:44.299
 climbeth up

00:32:44.299 --> 00:32:44.779
 some other

00:32:44.779 --> 00:32:45.740
 way the

00:32:45.740 --> 00:32:46.399
 same as

00:32:46.399 --> 00:32:47.019
 a thief

00:32:47.019 --> 00:32:48.059
 and a

00:32:48.059 --> 00:32:48.460
 robber?

00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:50.559
 They said

00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:50.980
 that to go

00:32:50.980 --> 00:32:51.259
 to the

00:32:51.259 --> 00:32:51.799
 gate for

00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:52.639
 entrance was

00:32:52.639 --> 00:32:53.279
 by all

00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:53.519
 their

00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:54.400
 countrymen

00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:55.259
 counted

00:32:55.259 --> 00:32:56.059
 too far

00:32:56.059 --> 00:32:56.480
 about

00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:57.019
 and that

00:32:57.019 --> 00:32:57.599
 therefore

00:32:57.599 --> 00:32:59.039
 their usual

00:32:59.039 --> 00:32:59.839
 way was

00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:00.119
 to make

00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:00.639
 a shortcut

00:33:00.639 --> 00:33:01.099
 of it

00:33:01.099 --> 00:33:01.440
 and to

00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:02.079
 climb over

00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:02.700
 the wall

00:33:02.700 --> 00:33:03.299
 as they

00:33:03.299 --> 00:33:03.879
 had done.

00:33:05.180 --> 00:33:05.539
 Will it

00:33:05.539 --> 00:33:05.980
 not be

00:33:05.980 --> 00:33:06.460
 counted

00:33:06.460 --> 00:33:07.480
 a trespass

00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:08.099
 against the

00:33:08.099 --> 00:33:08.599
 lord of

00:33:08.599 --> 00:33:09.079
 the city

00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:10.059
 whither we

00:33:10.059 --> 00:33:10.639
 are bound

00:33:10.639 --> 00:33:11.400
 thus to

00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:11.859
 violate

00:33:11.859 --> 00:33:12.779
 his revealed

00:33:12.779 --> 00:33:13.160
 will?

00:33:14.420 --> 00:33:15.240
 They told

00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:15.680
 him that

00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:16.339
 as for

00:33:16.339 --> 00:33:16.660
 that

00:33:16.660 --> 00:33:17.759
 he needed

00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:18.099
 not to

00:33:18.099 --> 00:33:18.359
 trouble

00:33:18.359 --> 00:33:18.799
 his head

00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:19.299
 thereabout

00:33:19.299 --> 00:33:20.200
 for what

00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:20.660
 they did

00:33:20.660 --> 00:33:21.140
 they had

00:33:21.140 --> 00:33:21.700
 custom

00:33:21.700 --> 00:33:22.140
 for

00:33:22.140 --> 00:33:22.900
 and could

00:33:22.900 --> 00:33:23.319
 produce

00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:23.759
 if need

00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:23.980
 were

00:33:23.980 --> 00:33:24.539
 testimony

00:33:24.539 --> 00:33:24.819
 that

00:33:24.819 --> 00:33:24.920
 would

00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:25.240
 witness

00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:25.500
 it

00:33:25.500 --> 00:33:25.980
 for

00:33:25.980 --> 00:33:26.340
 more

00:33:26.340 --> 00:33:26.880
 than

00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:27.039
 a

00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:27.420
 thousand

00:33:27.420 --> 00:33:28.539
 years.

00:33:29.340 --> 00:33:29.660
 At this

00:33:29.660 --> 00:33:30.100
 point do we

00:33:30.100 --> 00:33:30.400
 know what

00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:31.000
 Bunyan is

00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:31.700
 talking about?

00:33:32.220 --> 00:33:32.620
 He's talking

00:33:32.620 --> 00:33:33.059
 about Roman

00:33:33.059 --> 00:33:33.720
 Catholicism.

00:33:34.420 --> 00:33:35.059
 He's talking

00:33:35.059 --> 00:33:35.680
 about religious

00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:36.559
 practice.

00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:38.160
 And hear this

00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:38.779
 for yourself

00:33:38.779 --> 00:33:39.299
 this morning

00:33:39.299 --> 00:33:39.519
 if you're

00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:39.900
 asking the

00:33:39.900 --> 00:33:40.240
 question

00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:40.819
 have I

00:33:40.819 --> 00:33:41.100
 gone through

00:33:41.100 --> 00:33:41.380
 the narrow

00:33:41.380 --> 00:33:41.680
 gate

00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:42.759
 place

00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:43.299
 saving

00:33:43.299 --> 00:33:43.600
 faith

00:33:43.600 --> 00:33:43.940
 in the

00:33:43.940 --> 00:33:44.180
 personal

00:33:44.180 --> 00:33:44.559
 work of

00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:44.920
 Jesus

00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:45.400
 Christ

00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:46.519
 or am I

00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:47.259
 merely going

00:33:47.259 --> 00:33:47.700
 through the

00:33:47.700 --> 00:33:48.220
 religious

00:33:48.220 --> 00:33:49.740
 rites?

00:33:49.980 --> 00:33:50.620
 Coming here

00:33:50.620 --> 00:33:50.940
 does not

00:33:50.940 --> 00:33:51.320
 save your

00:33:51.320 --> 00:33:51.600
 soul

00:33:51.600 --> 00:33:52.620
 brothers and

00:33:52.620 --> 00:33:52.920
 sisters

00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:54.519
 placing faith

00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:55.280
 in Jesus

00:33:55.280 --> 00:33:55.640
 Christ

00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:55.940
 for the

00:33:55.940 --> 00:33:56.240
 salvation

00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:56.540
 of your

00:33:56.540 --> 00:33:56.759
 soul

00:33:56.759 --> 00:33:56.960
 is what

00:33:56.960 --> 00:33:57.259
 saves

00:33:57.259 --> 00:33:58.560
 your

00:33:58.560 --> 00:33:58.900
 soul.

00:33:59.580 --> 00:34:00.220
 So we

00:34:00.220 --> 00:34:00.600
 have

00:34:00.600 --> 00:34:02.120
 for more

00:34:02.120 --> 00:34:02.360
 than a

00:34:02.360 --> 00:34:02.600
 thousand

00:34:02.600 --> 00:34:02.920
 years

00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:03.259
 this is

00:34:03.259 --> 00:34:03.519
 the way

00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:03.900
 that people

00:34:03.900 --> 00:34:04.160
 have been

00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:04.360
 getting

00:34:04.360 --> 00:34:04.800
 into the

00:34:04.800 --> 00:34:05.019
 ways

00:34:05.019 --> 00:34:05.300
 what they

00:34:05.300 --> 00:34:05.600
 say

00:34:05.600 --> 00:34:06.600
 but

00:34:06.600 --> 00:34:06.840
 said

00:34:06.840 --> 00:34:07.300
 Christian

00:34:07.300 --> 00:34:08.200
 will

00:34:08.200 --> 00:34:08.440
 your

00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:08.980
 practice

00:34:08.980 --> 00:34:09.619
 stand

00:34:09.619 --> 00:34:10.160
 a

00:34:10.160 --> 00:34:10.700
 trial

00:34:10.700 --> 00:34:11.019
 at

00:34:11.019 --> 00:34:11.500
 law?

00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:13.300
 They

00:34:13.300 --> 00:34:13.880
 told him

00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:14.240
 that

00:34:14.240 --> 00:34:14.800
 custom

00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:16.060
 being of

00:34:16.060 --> 00:34:16.740
 so long

00:34:16.740 --> 00:34:17.180
 standing

00:34:17.180 --> 00:34:17.560
 as above

00:34:17.560 --> 00:34:17.900
 a thousand

00:34:17.900 --> 00:34:18.160
 years

00:34:18.160 --> 00:34:18.500
 would

00:34:18.500 --> 00:34:19.160
 doubtless

00:34:19.160 --> 00:34:19.539
 now be

00:34:19.539 --> 00:34:19.820
 admitted

00:34:19.820 --> 00:34:20.080
 as a

00:34:20.080 --> 00:34:20.260
 thing

00:34:20.260 --> 00:34:20.660
 legal

00:34:20.660 --> 00:34:21.240
 by any

 in

 if we

00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:30.420
 the

00:34:30.420 --> 00:34:30.640
 way

 the

00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:34.160
 way

00:34:34.160 --> 00:34:34.320
 that

00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:34.500
 came

00:34:34.500 --> 00:34:34.820
 tumbling

00:34:34.820 --> 00:34:35.019
!

00:34:35.019 --> 00:34:35.600
 where

00:34:35.600 --> 00:34:35.780
 in

 now

 this

00:34:40.539 --> 00:34:40.699
 is

00:34:40.699 --> 00:34:40.900
 the

00:34:40.900 --> 00:34:41.340
 question

00:34:41.340 --> 00:34:41.619
 of

00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:43.079
 relativism

00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:43.940
 right

00:34:43.940 --> 00:34:45.219
 and the

00:34:45.219 --> 00:34:45.619
 answer

00:34:45.619 --> 00:34:46.719
 Jesus

00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:47.299
 is saying

00:34:47.299 --> 00:34:48.239
 you must

00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:48.559
 worship

00:34:48.559 --> 00:34:48.940
 the right

00:34:48.940 --> 00:34:49.340
 God

00:34:49.340 --> 00:34:50.019
 and you

00:34:50.019 --> 00:34:50.299
 must

00:34:50.299 --> 00:34:50.659
 worship

00:34:50.659 --> 00:34:51.000
 him

00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:52.159
 rightly

00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:53.360
 no one

00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:54.059
 can come

00:34:54.059 --> 00:34:54.440
 to the

00:34:54.440 --> 00:34:54.759
 father

00:34:54.759 --> 00:34:56.099
 but by

00:34:56.099 --> 00:34:56.440
 me

00:34:56.440 --> 00:34:57.059
 right

00:34:57.059 --> 00:34:58.199
 Christian

00:34:58.199 --> 00:34:58.559
 says

00:34:58.559 --> 00:34:59.699
 I walk

00:34:59.699 --> 00:35:00.099
 by the

00:35:00.099 --> 00:35:00.519
 rule

00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:01.239
 of my

00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:01.799
 master

00:35:01.800 --> 00:35:02.700
 you

00:35:02.700 --> 00:35:03.180

00:35:03.180 --> 00:35:03.400
 by

00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:03.600
 the

00:35:03.600 --> 00:35:04.120
 rude

00:35:04.120 --> 00:35:04.560
 working

00:35:04.560 --> 00:35:04.800
 of

00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:05.080
 your

00:35:05.080 --> 00:35:05.680
 fancies

00:35:05.680 --> 00:35:06.860
 you

00:35:06.860 --> 00:35:07.039
 are

00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:07.460
 counted

00:35:07.460 --> 00:35:08.100
 thieves

00:35:08.100 --> 00:35:08.740
 already

00:35:08.740 --> 00:35:09.240
 by the

00:35:09.240 --> 00:35:09.440

00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:50.559
 a

 danger

00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:52.579
 and

 called

00:36:56.239 --> 00:36:57.139
 destruction

00:36:57.139 --> 00:36:58.019
 where

 he

00:36:58.139 --> 00:36:58.500
 dies

 Bunyan

 very

00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:02.019
 beautifully

00:37:02.019 --> 00:37:02.599
 illustrates

00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:03.700
 this

00:37:03.700 --> 00:37:04.820
 for us

00:37:04.820 --> 00:37:05.760
 religion

00:37:12.940 --> 00:37:13.519
 Christ

00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:13.920

00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:14.400
 are

00:37:14.400 --> 00:37:16.320
 saved

00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:17.539
 and it's

00:37:17.539 --> 00:37:17.940
 because of

00:37:17.940 --> 00:37:18.519
 the nature

00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:24.940
 and

00:38:24.940 --> 00:38:25.139
 beloved

00:38:25.139 --> 00:38:25.859
 I

00:38:25.859 --> 00:38:26.359
 wish

00:38:26.359 --> 00:38:26.919
 that

00:38:26.919 --> 00:38:27.039
 it

00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:27.259
 was

00:38:27.259 --> 00:38:27.859
 just

00:38:27.859 --> 00:38:29.079
 easy

00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:29.859
 and

00:38:29.859 --> 00:38:30.500
 simple

00:38:30.500 --> 00:38:31.099
 to

00:38:31.099 --> 00:38:31.539
 identify

00:38:31.539 --> 00:38:32.239
 the

00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:32.460
 false

00:38:32.460 --> 00:38:32.879
 prophets

00:38:32.879 --> 00:38:34.399
 but

00:38:34.399 --> 00:38:34.579
 it's

00:38:34.579 --> 00:38:34.819
 not

00:38:34.819 --> 00:38:35.039
 so

00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:35.319
 easy

00:38:35.319 --> 00:38:36.500
 we

00:38:36.500 --> 00:38:36.839
 must

00:38:36.839 --> 00:38:37.119
 be

00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:37.819
 examining

00:38:37.819 --> 00:38:37.839

00:38:37.839 --> 00:38:38.480
 and

00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:38.940
 careful

00:38:38.940 --> 00:38:39.619
 we

00:38:39.619 --> 00:38:39.960
 must

00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:40.819
 watch

00:38:40.819 --> 00:38:41.559
 right

00:38:41.559 --> 00:38:41.980
 we

00:38:41.980 --> 00:38:42.199
 must

00:38:42.199 --> 00:38:42.960
 examine

00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:44.319
 fruit

00:38:44.319 --> 00:38:46.199
 and

00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:46.299
 I

00:38:46.299 --> 00:38:46.419
 want

00:38:46.419 --> 00:38:46.500

00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:54.660
 we

00:38:54.660 --> 00:38:54.800
 should

00:38:54.800 --> 00:38:54.940
 be

 are

00:39:40.600 --> 00:39:41.059
 consistent

00:39:41.059 --> 00:39:41.500
 with

 the

 fear

00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:44.019
 that

00:39:44.019 --> 00:39:44.140
 in

 our

 day

00:39:44.680 --> 00:39:45.960
 most

00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:46.440
 of

00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:46.539
 the

 they

00:39:51.460 --> 00:39:51.559
 are

 very

00:39:51.740 --> 00:39:52.160
 distant

00:39:52.160 --> 00:39:52.539
 very

00:39:52.539 --> 00:39:53.079
 aloof

00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:53.860
 they

00:39:53.860 --> 00:39:53.940
 are

00:39:53.940 --> 00:39:54.380
 backstage

00:39:54.380 --> 00:39:55.280
 they

00:39:55.280 --> 00:39:55.519
 come

00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:55.760
 out

00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:55.920
 they

00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:56.059
 go

00:39:56.059 --> 00:39:56.460
 backstage

00:39:56.460 --> 00:39:57.039
 again

00:39:57.039 --> 00:39:57.720
 they

00:39:57.720 --> 00:39:57.820
 are

00:39:57.820 --> 00:39:58.140
 shuttled

00:39:58.140 --> 00:39:58.320
 out

 a

 side

00:39:58.700 --> 00:39:59.100
 door

00:39:59.100 --> 00:39:59.800
 no

00:39:59.800 --> 00:39:59.940
 one

00:39:59.940 --> 00:40:00.100
 can

00:40:00.100 --> 00:40:00.539
 really

00:40:00.539 --> 00:40:00.920
 know

00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:01.680
 these

00:40:01.680 --> 00:40:01.960
 men

00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:02.140
 and

00:40:02.140 --> 00:40:02.480
 really

00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:03.019
 examine

00:40:03.019 --> 00:40:04.039
 their

00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:04.360
 fruit

00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:04.920
 and

00:40:04.920 --> 00:40:05.079
 this

00:40:05.079 --> 00:40:05.280
 is

00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:05.740
 a

00:40:05.740 --> 00:40:06.039
 troubling

00:40:06.039 --> 00:40:06.360
 thing

00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:06.519
 I

00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:06.840
 believe

00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:07.960
 in

 our

 day

00:40:08.220 --> 00:40:08.360
 and

00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:08.480
 I'm

00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:08.600
 not

00:40:08.600 --> 00:40:08.800
 saying

00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:08.920
 that

00:41:59.259 --> 00:41:59.480
 people

00:41:59.480 --> 00:41:59.679
 will

00:41:59.679 --> 00:42:00.000
 not

00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:00.379
 endure

00:42:00.379 --> 00:42:00.819
 sound

00:42:00.819 --> 00:42:01.219
 teaching

00:42:01.219 --> 00:42:02.199
 but

00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:02.460
 having

00:42:02.460 --> 00:42:02.799
 itching

00:42:02.799 --> 00:42:03.119
 ears

00:42:03.119 --> 00:42:03.259
 they

00:42:03.259 --> 00:42:03.400
 will

00:42:03.400 --> 00:42:03.819
 accumulate

00:42:03.819 --> 00:42:04.079
 for

00:42:04.079 --> 00:42:04.639
 themselves

00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:05.159
 teachers

00:42:05.159 --> 00:42:05.519
 to

00:42:05.519 --> 00:42:05.819
 suit

00:42:05.819 --> 00:42:06.059
 their

00:42:06.059 --> 00:42:06.579
 own

00:42:06.579 --> 00:42:07.779
 passions

00:42:07.779 --> 00:42:08.879
 and

00:42:08.879 --> 00:42:08.940
 they

00:42:08.940 --> 00:42:09.039
 will

00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:09.219
 turn

00:42:09.219 --> 00:42:09.500
 away

00:42:09.500 --> 00:42:09.699
 from

00:42:09.699 --> 00:42:09.940
 listening

00:42:09.940 --> 00:42:10.059
 to

00:42:10.059 --> 00:42:10.159
 the

00:42:10.159 --> 00:42:10.460
 truth

00:42:10.460 --> 00:42:11.219
 and

00:42:11.219 --> 00:42:11.299
 they

00:42:11.299 --> 00:42:11.420
 will

00:42:11.420 --> 00:42:11.659
 wander

00:42:11.659 --> 00:42:12.079
 off

00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:12.859
 into

00:42:12.859 --> 00:42:13.279
 myths

00:42:13.279 --> 00:42:13.879
 right

00:42:13.879 --> 00:42:14.559
 the

00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:14.920
 time

00:42:14.920 --> 00:42:15.099
 is

00:42:15.099 --> 00:42:15.539
 here

00:42:15.539 --> 00:42:16.679
 when

00:42:16.679 --> 00:42:16.839
 people

00:42:16.839 --> 00:42:17.079
 don't

00:42:17.079 --> 00:42:17.359
 want

00:42:17.359 --> 00:42:17.460
 to

00:42:17.460 --> 00:42:17.559
 hear

00:42:17.559 --> 00:42:17.699
 the

00:42:17.699 --> 00:42:17.879
 truth

00:42:17.879 --> 00:42:18.019
 of

00:42:18.019 --> 00:42:18.279
 God

00:42:18.279 --> 00:42:19.460
 they

00:42:19.460 --> 00:42:19.779
 want

00:42:19.779 --> 00:42:19.940
 a

00:42:19.940 --> 00:42:20.279
 broad

00:42:20.279 --> 00:42:20.440
 and

00:42:20.440 --> 00:42:20.739
 easy

00:42:20.739 --> 00:42:21.159
 way

00:42:21.159 --> 00:42:21.359
 and

00:42:21.359 --> 00:42:21.440
 so

00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:21.579
 they

00:42:21.579 --> 00:42:21.920
 gather

00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:22.500
!

00:42:22.500 --> 00:42:23.480
 who

00:42:23.480 --> 00:42:23.599
 will

00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:23.799
 tell

00:42:23.799 --> 00:42:23.980
 them

00:42:23.980 --> 00:42:24.539
 exactly

00:42:24.539 --> 00:42:24.900
 what

00:42:24.900 --> 00:42:25.099
 they

00:42:25.099 --> 00:42:25.519
 want

00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:26.319
 to

00:42:26.319 --> 00:42:26.739
 hear

00:42:26.739 --> 00:42:28.279
 and

00:42:28.279 --> 00:42:28.400
 so

00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:28.799
 many

00:42:28.799 --> 00:42:29.299
 teachers

00:42:29.299 --> 00:42:30.599
 and

00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:30.739
 I

00:42:30.739 --> 00:42:30.940
 think

00:42:30.940 --> 00:42:31.119
 with

00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:31.319
 good

00:42:31.319 --> 00:42:31.799
 intentions

00:42:31.799 --> 00:42:32.219
 although

00:42:32.219 --> 00:42:32.619
 I

00:42:32.619 --> 00:42:32.779
 think

00:42:32.779 --> 00:42:32.920
 I'm

00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:33.159
 tired

00:42:33.159 --> 00:42:33.319
 of

00:42:33.319 --> 00:42:33.599
 making

00:42:33.599 --> 00:42:34.179
 excuses

00:42:34.179 --> 00:42:34.440
 for

00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:34.599
 these

00:42:34.599 --> 00:42:34.900
 people

00:42:34.900 --> 00:42:35.159
 with

00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:35.360
 good

00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:35.779
 intentions

00:42:35.779 --> 00:42:37.860
 will

00:42:37.860 --> 00:42:38.099
 tell

00:42:38.099 --> 00:42:38.400
 people

00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:38.559
 what

00:42:38.559 --> 00:42:38.679
 they

00:42:38.679 --> 00:42:39.039
 want

00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:39.779
 to

00:42:39.779 --> 00:42:40.019
 hear

00:42:40.019 --> 00:42:41.139
 they

00:42:41.139 --> 00:42:41.559
 think

00:42:41.559 --> 00:42:41.759
 they're

00:42:41.759 --> 00:42:41.960
 leading

00:42:41.960 --> 00:42:42.259
 people

00:42:42.259 --> 00:42:42.500
 to

00:42:42.500 --> 00:42:42.900
 Christ

00:42:42.900 --> 00:42:43.059
 and

00:42:43.059 --> 00:42:43.179
 I

00:42:43.179 --> 00:42:43.299
 would

00:42:43.299 --> 00:42:43.739
 suggest

00:42:43.739 --> 00:42:43.980
 that

00:42:43.980 --> 00:42:44.199
 more

00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:44.500
 often

00:42:44.500 --> 00:42:44.659
 than

00:42:44.659 --> 00:42:44.940
 not

00:42:44.940 --> 00:42:45.480
 they're

00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:45.759
 making

00:42:45.759 --> 00:42:46.199
 people

00:42:46.199 --> 00:42:47.259
 twice

00:42:47.259 --> 00:42:48.219
 a

00:42:48.219 --> 00:42:48.519
 child

00:42:48.519 --> 00:42:48.880
 of

00:42:48.880 --> 00:42:49.059
 hell

00:42:49.059 --> 00:42:50.599
 it's

00:42:50.599 --> 00:42:50.960
 very

00:42:50.960 --> 00:42:51.539
 dangerous

00:42:51.539 --> 00:42:52.039
 that we

00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:52.319
 lead

00:42:52.319 --> 00:42:52.579
 people

00:42:52.579 --> 00:42:52.719
 to

00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:53.079
 think

00:42:53.079 --> 00:42:53.319
 they're

00:42:53.319 --> 00:42:53.779
 following

00:42:53.779 --> 00:42:54.039
 the

00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:54.279
 risen

00:42:54.279 --> 00:42:54.799
 Christ

00:42:54.799 --> 00:42:55.960
 and

00:42:55.960 --> 00:42:56.099
 they're

00:42:56.099 --> 00:42:56.360
 not

00:42:56.360 --> 00:42:56.579
 they're

00:42:56.579 --> 00:42:56.940
 following

00:42:56.940 --> 00:42:57.179
 a

00:42:57.179 --> 00:42:57.440
 Jesus

00:42:57.440 --> 00:42:58.119
 of

00:42:58.119 --> 00:42:58.579
 our

 invention

00:42:59.319 --> 00:43:01.559
 preach

00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:01.759
 the

00:43:01.759 --> 00:43:02.239
 word

00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:03.239
 everything

00:43:03.239 --> 00:43:03.940
 we do

00:43:03.940 --> 00:43:04.279
 need to

00:43:04.279 --> 00:43:04.440
 be

00:43:06.500 --> 00:43:07.360
 we

00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:07.579
 cannot

00:43:07.579 --> 00:43:07.960
 step

00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:08.380
 outside

00:43:08.380 --> 00:43:09.119
 this

00:43:09.119 --> 00:43:10.579
 book

00:43:15.639 --> 00:43:16.099
 said

00:43:16.099 --> 00:43:16.539
 this

00:43:16.539 --> 00:43:18.599
 this is

00:43:18.599 --> 00:43:18.779
 pretty

00:43:18.779 --> 00:43:19.279
 scathing

00:43:19.279 --> 00:43:21.319
 any

00:43:21.319 --> 00:43:21.719
 preacher

00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:22.819

00:43:22.819 --> 00:43:23.419
 rejects

 God's

00:43:23.839 --> 00:43:24.219
 law

00:43:24.219 --> 00:43:26.779

 denies

00:43:27.359 --> 00:43:27.839
 repentance

00:43:27.839 --> 00:43:28.219
 to be

 a

00:43:28.339 --> 00:43:28.759
 condition

00:43:28.759 --> 00:43:29.059
 of

00:43:29.059 --> 00:43:29.579
 salvation

00:43:29.579 --> 00:43:31.239
 who

00:43:31.239 --> 00:43:31.799
 assures

00:43:31.799 --> 00:43:32.039
 the

00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:32.519
 giddy

00:43:32.519 --> 00:43:32.819
 and

00:43:32.819 --> 00:43:33.339
 godless

 they

 are

00:43:34.219 --> 00:43:34.579
 God

 declares

 saving

00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:37.179
 faith

00:43:37.179 --> 00:43:37.399
 is

00:43:37.399 --> 00:43:37.719
 nothing

00:43:37.719 --> 00:43:38.159
 more

00:43:38.159 --> 00:43:38.459
 than

 power

 shunned

 it

00:46:37.879 --> 00:46:38.219
 right

00:46:38.219 --> 00:46:38.679
 why

 it

00:46:49.379 --> 00:46:49.779
 how

00:46:55.659 --> 00:46:56.000
 it's

00:46:56.000 --> 00:46:56.139
 not

 for

00:47:58.740 --> 00:47:58.840
 the

00:47:58.840 --> 00:47:59.000
 gate

00:47:59.000 --> 00:47:59.140
 is

00:47:59.140 --> 00:47:59.680
 narrow

00:47:59.680 --> 00:48:00.019
 and

00:48:00.019 --> 00:48:00.140
 the

00:48:00.140 --> 00:48:00.300
 way

00:48:00.300 --> 00:48:00.460
 is

00:48:00.460 --> 00:48:01.079
 hard

00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:01.440
 that

00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:01.660
 leads

00:48:01.660 --> 00:48:01.820
 to

00:48:01.820 --> 00:48:02.180
 life

00:48:02.180 --> 00:48:03.059
 and

00:48:03.059 --> 00:48:03.240
 those

 are

00:48:04.780 --> 00:48:05.059
 few

00:48:05.059 --> 00:48:06.260
 let's

00:48:06.260 --> 00:48:06.400
 pray

00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:06.740
 together

00:48:06.739 --> 00:48:07.179
 to

00:48:07.179 --> 00:48:07.319
 those
