WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000
 Well, good morning, everyone. Welcome to St Paul's. My name's Steve. I know I met you before. I'm a senior pastor here at St Paul's.

00:00:05.580 --> 00:00:14.700
! Let me just add my welcome to that of Nick, whether you're here in the building or online, but also want to welcome specifically Craig Farmer into our building this morning.

00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:28.219
 Craig, for those of you who are not aware, Parish Council has engaged Craig to help us as a church family to discern where God is leading us into the next phase of our life and ministry together

00:00:28.219 --> 00:00:43.920
 as we see Chatswood and beyond to treasure Jesus for their joy. And so Craig is here and he is going to start today with some focus groups that you've been invited into to hear from you.

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:55.259
 We want to hear from you about that process. So welcome, Craig, as part of today and thank you for your contribution to our church life beyond this day.

00:00:55.259 --> 00:01:02.780
 If you are just joined in amongst us as well, as we have just heard from Nick, we are in 1 Thessalonians.

00:01:02.979 --> 00:01:09.319
 If you've got a Bible, I'd be grateful for you to open it. If you don't, there are versions available around here for you.

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:13.780
 But what I'm going to be saying will be on the screen or in a printout in front of you.

00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:21.000
 Where we're up to in 1 Thessalonians is the Apostle Paul is now encouraging people, the Thessalonians,

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:27.640
 to live lives worthy of God, that is to live lives pleasing God.

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:35.680
 And the foundation of that is what he has already said in the first couple of chapters of 1 Thessalonians,

00:01:36.060 --> 00:01:45.180
 and that is that you, in the gospel of the Lord Jesus, have the pleasure of God already imparted to you,

00:01:45.180 --> 00:01:50.980
 which is why you can live to please God, because you've already received the pleasure of God in Jesus.

00:01:51.540 --> 00:01:57.720
 And so last week, we started that process of what it means to live pleasing to God.

00:01:58.180 --> 00:02:06.460
 And Paul picked up on, he's really focusing in chapter 4 on three major areas that are a major preoccupation for all of humanity,

00:02:06.459 --> 00:02:15.180
 and that is sex, work, vocation, if you like, and number three, death.

00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:19.159
 And I said, the first two are the ones that you want me to spend more time on.

00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:20.459
 I'm going to be really brief with those.

00:02:20.740 --> 00:02:22.740
 I'm going to focus more time on today.

00:02:22.939 --> 00:02:25.120
 And death, the thing you don't want me to talk about.

00:02:25.419 --> 00:02:29.280
 So we're going to spend our time talking about death.

00:02:29.699 --> 00:02:30.319
 Let's pray.

00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:38.099
 Gracious God, we are thankful for the hope of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ,

00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:48.500
 that he who died and rose again, that we who believe in him might have his life imparted to us,

00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:51.479
 so that death has no more sting.

00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.280
 It has no more mastery over us.

00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:58.819
 We pray that this hope would fill our hearts today,

00:02:59.300 --> 00:03:03.460
 and it would be a hope that would overflow into this city.

00:03:03.920 --> 00:03:05.379
 And we ask it for your glory.

00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:06.159
 Amen.

00:03:07.180 --> 00:03:10.639
 Mark Ashton was a minister in Cambridge in England.

00:03:11.060 --> 00:03:17.139
 At the age of 62, he was diagnosed with inoperable gallbladder cancer.

00:03:17.139 --> 00:03:22.139
 He wrote a book about his journey towards Jesus.

00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:29.079
 Oh, sorry, his journey with Jesus in the final 15 months of his life.

00:03:29.859 --> 00:03:34.000
 His joy in Jesus, in fact, in those 15 months were profound.

00:03:34.659 --> 00:03:39.019
 He showed an enormous deal of confidence

00:03:39.020 --> 00:03:46.660
 and even anticipation of his impending death in those months,

00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:53.800
 despite a keen recognition of the grief and the sadness

00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:59.820
 of not just his church family, but his family and friends and so on and so forth.

00:04:00.200 --> 00:04:02.580
 A very keen recognition of that grief,

00:04:03.060 --> 00:04:08.719
 accompanied with a deep sense of joy and contentment at the same time.

00:04:09.020 --> 00:04:11.719
 So over those last 15 months of his life,

00:04:11.880 --> 00:04:16.939
 he talked with virtually everyone he met about his coming death,

00:04:17.300 --> 00:04:22.180
 with ease, with elegance, and with a great deal of poise.

00:04:23.280 --> 00:04:27.639
 And this unnerved so many people.

00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:31.019
 He found not only...

00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.439
 People found not only his attitude,

00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:38.780
 but even his presence difficult to take.

00:04:39.019 --> 00:04:43.019
 For instance, he tells the story in the book,

00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:44.379
 one day getting his hair cut.

00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:49.519
 And he was asked by the young lady who regularly cut his hair,

00:04:50.019 --> 00:04:51.659
 you know, how he was.

00:04:51.799 --> 00:04:52.560
 And he replied,

00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:54.859
 well, actually, I've only got a few more months to live.

00:04:54.860 --> 00:04:58.819
 And he said,

00:04:58.920 --> 00:04:59.840
 in that moment,

00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.620
 the ordinary pleasantness of the salon

00:05:04.620 --> 00:05:07.879
 just stopped.

00:05:08.939 --> 00:05:11.780
 The friendliness, the chatting just stopped.

00:05:12.500 --> 00:05:13.460
 Not just with him,

00:05:13.500 --> 00:05:15.900
 but everyone else in the room at the same time.

00:05:15.899 --> 00:05:16.799
 And he said,

00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:20.299
 no matter how much he tried to talk to the hairdresser,

00:05:20.500 --> 00:05:21.359
 not about death,

00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:22.120
 but about anything,

00:05:23.060 --> 00:05:26.060
 he could not get another word out of her

00:05:26.060 --> 00:05:27.539
 for the rest of the haircut.

00:05:28.339 --> 00:05:29.120
 At all.

00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.379
 And yet,

00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:32.399
 as he said,

00:05:32.459 --> 00:05:34.199
 the great irony of it all is,

00:05:35.100 --> 00:05:35.459
 it's...

00:05:35.459 --> 00:05:37.560
 Death's not something that any of us can avoid

00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:39.480
 in any way.

00:05:39.980 --> 00:05:41.819
 It's been said that all the wars,

00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:42.899
 all the plagues

00:05:42.899 --> 00:05:45.699
 have never actually raised the death toll.

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:48.959
 It's still one for one ratio.

00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:54.060
 Death makes a claim

00:05:54.060 --> 00:05:56.739
 on each and every one of us,

00:05:57.219 --> 00:06:00.819
 and it pursues us relentlessly

00:06:00.819 --> 00:06:03.299
 throughout all of our days.

00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:05.000
 And yet,

00:06:05.479 --> 00:06:05.959
 we,

00:06:06.259 --> 00:06:07.139
 this generation,

00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:08.500
 this modern generation,

00:06:08.779 --> 00:06:11.560
 seems to be far less prepared

00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:13.279
 for it

00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:16.079
 than our ancestors were.

00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:20.079
 not even able to talk about it

00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:22.120
 in our society.

00:06:23.139 --> 00:06:23.479
 You see,

00:06:23.539 --> 00:06:26.459
 we know intellectually and rationally

00:06:26.459 --> 00:06:29.519
 that we can't beat the statistics.

00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:31.779
 But deep down,

00:06:33.039 --> 00:06:35.079
 we sort of repress it.

00:06:35.860 --> 00:06:38.219
 And we kind of act day by day

00:06:38.219 --> 00:06:39.899
 as if somehow we can

00:06:39.899 --> 00:06:41.419
 or that we will.

00:06:41.420 --> 00:06:46.220
 And rather than accept it

00:06:46.220 --> 00:06:47.740
 and prepare for the inevitable,

00:06:48.660 --> 00:06:50.560
 we only avert it.

00:06:51.460 --> 00:06:52.580
 We deny it.

00:06:54.660 --> 00:06:55.360
 And so,

00:06:55.500 --> 00:06:56.759
 in our modern society,

00:06:57.639 --> 00:06:59.480
 death has replaced sex

00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.680
 as the unmentionable topic

00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:04.600
 in polite company.

00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:06.379
 So,

00:07:06.460 --> 00:07:07.259
 three points today.

00:07:08.060 --> 00:07:09.300
 They're on the St. Paul's app

00:07:09.300 --> 00:07:10.139
 if you've got that,

00:07:10.139 --> 00:07:11.740
 if you want to take notes along the way.

00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:12.560
 But fearing death,

00:07:12.659 --> 00:07:13.300
 death to death,

00:07:13.659 --> 00:07:15.000
 and living with death.

00:07:15.099 --> 00:07:15.300
 So,

00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:16.399
 verse 13,

00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:17.099
 fear of death.

00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:19.019
 Brothers and sisters,

00:07:20.159 --> 00:07:21.039
 we don't want you

00:07:21.039 --> 00:07:22.459
 to be uninformed

00:07:22.459 --> 00:07:24.259
 about those who sleep in death

00:07:24.259 --> 00:07:26.300
 so that you do not grieve

00:07:26.300 --> 00:07:27.939
 like the rest of mankind

00:07:27.939 --> 00:07:29.879
 who have no hope.

00:07:30.620 --> 00:07:31.120
 Death,

00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:32.620
 as I've said,

00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:34.099
 it's that universal problem.

00:07:34.919 --> 00:07:36.419
 Everybody struggles with it.

00:07:36.420 --> 00:07:39.460
 And there are traditionally two ways

00:07:39.460 --> 00:07:42.879
 that we struggle

00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:44.080
 with the fear of death.

00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:46.460
 There's the Stoic way,

00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:48.900
 which the Stoic way

00:07:48.900 --> 00:07:50.780
 acknowledges death

00:07:50.780 --> 00:07:53.420
 as something that's terrible,

00:07:54.379 --> 00:07:57.520
 something that is awful.

00:07:57.780 --> 00:07:59.120
 There's a normal reaction

00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:02.020
 of anger and grief with death.

00:08:02.019 --> 00:08:02.079
 death.

00:08:03.219 --> 00:08:05.279
 But the way to handle that

00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:07.620
 is to acknowledge it,

00:08:07.979 --> 00:08:10.279
 but then shut it down.

00:08:10.659 --> 00:08:12.139
 Shut down the emotions

00:08:12.139 --> 00:08:13.479
 associated with it.

00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.319
 Even talking to someone recently

00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:19.240
 about their banter

00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:20.819
 with someone about death,

00:08:21.459 --> 00:08:22.979
 talked about not going to be here

00:08:22.979 --> 00:08:23.659
 much longer.

00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:27.439
 And you can't talk like that.

00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:29.519
 You shouldn't talk like that

00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:30.779
 at all.

00:08:32.740 --> 00:08:33.980
 The number of times

00:08:33.980 --> 00:08:34.700
 as a pastor,

00:08:34.860 --> 00:08:36.379
 I've sat with people

00:08:36.379 --> 00:08:37.360
 who are dying

00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.019
 or visiting them in hospital,

00:08:39.419 --> 00:08:40.179
 and one of the questions

00:08:40.179 --> 00:08:42.860
 I've always asked is,

00:08:43.659 --> 00:08:45.799
 have you talked about

00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:47.480
 your impending death

00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:49.100
 with your loved ones?

00:08:49.899 --> 00:08:52.559
 The vast majority say no.

00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:54.720
 No.

00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:57.019
 Don't know how to do that.

00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:00.940
 That's the stoic way.

00:09:01.880 --> 00:09:03.040
 Acknowledge it's awful.

00:09:03.780 --> 00:09:04.440
 Suppress it.

00:09:05.520 --> 00:09:06.840
 Don't give in to the emotions.

00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:08.660
 Be strong.

00:09:09.500 --> 00:09:10.980
 Because nothing good

00:09:10.980 --> 00:09:12.460
 will come out of grief.

00:09:12.900 --> 00:09:14.000
 That's the assumption

00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:14.860
 behind it all.

00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:18.700
 The more recent approach

00:09:18.700 --> 00:09:20.700
 in our modern world

00:09:20.700 --> 00:09:21.780
 is to handle

00:09:21.780 --> 00:09:23.140
 the inevitability of death,

00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:24.680
 particularly in the secular age,

00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:26.839
 is to deny anything

00:09:26.839 --> 00:09:28.199
 about death

00:09:28.199 --> 00:09:29.299
 that is in fact

00:09:29.299 --> 00:09:30.199
 terrible,

00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:31.039
 horrible.

00:09:32.819 --> 00:09:35.000
 So one acknowledges grief

00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:36.139
 and it's awful,

00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:36.679
 just don't

00:09:37.699 --> 00:09:38.859
 deal with the emotions

00:09:38.859 --> 00:09:39.759
 associated with it,

00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:40.799
 don't grieve it.

00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:41.899
 Over here

00:09:41.899 --> 00:09:42.819
 is the other one

00:09:42.819 --> 00:09:43.339
 that says

00:09:43.339 --> 00:09:45.739
 there's nothing really

00:09:45.739 --> 00:09:46.799
 that bad about it.

00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:48.719
 and this approach

00:09:48.719 --> 00:09:49.679
 sees that death

00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:50.599
 is just simply

00:09:50.599 --> 00:09:52.399
 the natural process

00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.879
 of the cycle of life.

00:09:54.959 --> 00:09:55.719
 It's just the next,

00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:57.319
 it's just the next step.

00:09:58.120 --> 00:09:59.799
 You can go into funeral homes

00:10:00.339 --> 00:10:00.299
!

00:10:00.299 --> 00:10:01.799
 And grab the material

00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:02.620
 off their shelf

00:10:02.620 --> 00:10:03.719
 as to how do we

00:10:03.719 --> 00:10:04.859
 understand death?

00:10:04.860 --> 00:10:07.120
 It's just natural.

00:10:08.100 --> 00:10:10.120
 It's just the next phase

00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:10.759
 of life.

00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:12.919
 It's part of the life cycle

00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:15.100
 where you will simply

00:10:15.100 --> 00:10:17.019
 slip into a state

00:10:17.019 --> 00:10:18.159
 of non-being.

00:10:19.180 --> 00:10:20.320
 It's natural,

00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:21.440
 nothing to fear.

00:10:22.620 --> 00:10:23.659
 And in your death

00:10:23.659 --> 00:10:25.279
 you help others live

00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:27.399
 by becoming worm food

00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:30.180
 as Shakespeare said

00:10:30.180 --> 00:10:31.360
 in Hamlet.

00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:33.200
 I think,

00:10:33.420 --> 00:10:34.840
 sorry for the Shakespearean people,

00:10:34.860 --> 00:10:35.360
 out there,

00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:38.500
 it sounded impressive

00:10:38.500 --> 00:10:38.759
 though,

00:10:38.779 --> 00:10:39.300
 didn't it?

00:10:41.500 --> 00:10:43.399
 You just become worm food

00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:45.759
 and so you're helping

00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:46.720
 the flowers grow.

00:10:48.659 --> 00:10:49.519
 Secularism says

00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:50.340
 there's no God,

00:10:50.659 --> 00:10:51.340
 there's no soul,

00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:52.139
 there's nothing

00:10:52.139 --> 00:10:52.940
 of the supernatural.

00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:55.220
 Life is constrained

00:10:55.220 --> 00:10:56.440
 to this early life

00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:57.159
 and so instead

00:10:57.159 --> 00:10:58.700
 of fearing death,

00:10:58.980 --> 00:11:00.460
 which you can't control,

00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:02.440
 ensure that the life

00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:03.539
 that you do have,

00:11:03.539 --> 00:11:04.379
 you live it

00:11:04.379 --> 00:11:05.159
 to your fullest

00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:05.879
 because there's nothing

00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:06.480
 beyond it.

00:11:06.939 --> 00:11:08.080
 So you do whatever

00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:10.039
 it takes to live now.

00:11:12.179 --> 00:11:14.019
 Discover whatever it is

00:11:14.019 --> 00:11:14.860
 that gives you meaning,

00:11:15.019 --> 00:11:15.360
 purpose,

00:11:15.539 --> 00:11:16.620
 and go for it.

00:11:16.659 --> 00:11:18.059
 Just don't think about death.

00:11:18.059 --> 00:11:22.799
 And the problem with that philosophy

00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:23.599
 of life

00:11:23.599 --> 00:11:25.919
 is that everything

00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:26.799
 that you think

00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:28.699
 will give you meaning,

00:11:28.979 --> 00:11:30.459
 everything that will give you

00:11:30.459 --> 00:11:31.879
 hope and joy

00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:32.579
 and happiness

00:11:32.579 --> 00:11:33.479
 in this life,

00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:35.779
 death takes it all away.

00:11:37.379 --> 00:11:38.939
 It removes it all.

00:11:39.839 --> 00:11:40.799
 It's all gone.

00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:43.159
 Whatever we build

00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:44.360
 our lives on

00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:45.740
 in this short

00:11:45.740 --> 00:11:47.679
 season of life,

00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:50.199
 death destroys it all,

00:11:50.740 --> 00:11:51.519
 makes a mockery

00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:52.279
 of it all.

00:11:53.019 --> 00:11:54.219
 If the greatest joy

00:11:54.219 --> 00:11:55.100
 in your life

00:11:55.100 --> 00:11:56.500
 is relationships,

00:11:56.699 --> 00:11:57.100
 loving relationships,

00:11:57.339 --> 00:11:57.980
 then death

00:11:57.980 --> 00:11:58.600
 strips you

00:11:58.600 --> 00:11:59.899
 away of all of that.

00:12:03.100 --> 00:12:04.339
 Bit by bit,

00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:05.740
 death will strip you

00:12:05.740 --> 00:12:07.480
 of all of your loved ones

00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:08.539
 and eventually

00:12:08.539 --> 00:12:09.980
 will strip your loved ones

00:12:09.980 --> 00:12:10.360
 of you.

00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:14.039
 It destroys everything

00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:15.000
 meaningful in life.

00:12:16.820 --> 00:12:18.360
 The great irony

00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:19.360
 of the secularist

00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:19.960
 who says,

00:12:20.300 --> 00:12:23.000
 I do not fear death.

00:12:24.560 --> 00:12:26.000
 The irony of that statement

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:27.120
 is that if you really

00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:28.800
 understand what you've just said,

00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:30.460
 you've just said,

00:12:30.680 --> 00:12:32.259
 I do not love life.

00:12:34.580 --> 00:12:35.800
 I do not love

00:12:35.800 --> 00:12:36.899
 what I have in life

00:12:36.899 --> 00:12:37.600
 right now.

00:12:41.500 --> 00:12:42.500
 The other reason

00:12:42.500 --> 00:12:43.439
 we should fear death

00:12:43.439 --> 00:12:44.379
 is because we don't know

00:12:44.379 --> 00:12:45.679
 what happens after death.

00:12:46.959 --> 00:12:47.240
 You see,

00:12:47.340 --> 00:12:48.360
 it is an enormous

00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:49.720
 leap of faith

00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:51.500
 to say that we just

00:12:51.500 --> 00:12:52.379
 slip into a

00:12:52.379 --> 00:12:53.559
 non-conscious state.

00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:55.579
 That's an enormous

00:12:55.579 --> 00:12:56.379
 leap of faith.

00:12:57.819 --> 00:12:58.459
 No one knows

00:12:58.459 --> 00:12:59.139
 that to be true.

00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:01.840
 There hasn't been

00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:03.279
 a culture in history

00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:05.000
 that has approached

00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:05.620
 death

00:13:05.620 --> 00:13:06.799
 so

00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:10.460
 shallowly

00:13:10.460 --> 00:13:12.539
 and given its people

00:13:12.539 --> 00:13:14.940
 so little tools

00:13:14.940 --> 00:13:15.840
 to handle

00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:16.620
 the inevitability

00:13:17.259 --> 00:13:17.899
 of death

00:13:17.899 --> 00:13:20.200
 as our modern

00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:21.519
 secular age.

00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:24.659
 to say death

00:13:24.659 --> 00:13:25.939
 is just natural,

00:13:26.939 --> 00:13:28.059
 is to harden

00:13:28.059 --> 00:13:29.720
 and perhaps

00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:30.960
 even to kill

00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:31.799
 a part

00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:33.120
 of the heart's

00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:33.460
 hope

00:13:33.460 --> 00:13:34.559
 that makes

00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:35.500
 us human.

00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:38.579
 No animal

00:13:38.579 --> 00:13:39.759
 thinks about death.

00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:39.860
 death.

00:13:42.860 --> 00:13:44.019
 We know

00:13:44.019 --> 00:13:44.860
 deep down

00:13:44.860 --> 00:13:46.299
 that we are

00:13:46.299 --> 00:13:47.220
 not just

00:13:47.220 --> 00:13:47.939
 trees

00:13:47.939 --> 00:13:48.939
 or grass.

00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:50.259
 We know

00:13:50.259 --> 00:13:50.659
 something

00:13:50.659 --> 00:13:51.580
 deep down

00:13:51.580 --> 00:13:52.840
 that says

00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:53.340
 that we were

00:13:53.340 --> 00:13:54.720
 created to last.

00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:56.899
 We don't

00:13:56.899 --> 00:13:57.419
 ever want

00:13:57.419 --> 00:13:58.000
 to be just

00:13:58.000 --> 00:13:58.700
 fleeting

00:13:58.700 --> 00:14:00.659
 to be

00:14:00.659 --> 00:14:01.879
 inconsequential.

00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.179
 and the

00:14:05.179 --> 00:14:05.519
 deepest

00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:06.179
 desire

00:14:06.179 --> 00:14:06.659
 of our

00:14:06.659 --> 00:14:07.320
 hearts

00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:08.639
 is for

00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:09.360
 a love

00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:10.600
 that

00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:11.159
 actually

00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:11.860
 lasts.

00:14:15.100 --> 00:14:15.299
 And

00:14:15.299 --> 00:14:15.840
 death

00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:17.200
 is not

00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:17.879
 the way

00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:18.360
 it ought

00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:18.840
 to be.

00:14:20.299 --> 00:14:21.059
 It's

00:14:21.059 --> 00:14:21.559
 abnormal.

00:14:23.500 --> 00:14:23.659
 Death

00:14:23.659 --> 00:14:24.059
 is not

00:14:24.059 --> 00:14:24.500
 natural.

00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:25.820
 It is not

00:14:25.820 --> 00:14:26.259
 a friend.

00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:26.860
 It is not

00:14:26.860 --> 00:14:27.299
 right.

00:14:27.299 --> 00:14:28.539
 And so

00:14:28.539 --> 00:14:29.259
 Paul says

00:14:29.259 --> 00:14:29.620
 here

00:14:29.620 --> 00:14:30.679
 grieve

00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:31.740
 cry

00:14:31.740 --> 00:14:34.079
 but with

00:14:34.079 --> 00:14:34.439
 hope.

00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:37.339
 And I

00:14:37.339 --> 00:14:37.799
 would say

00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:38.399
 that these

00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:39.259
 verses here

00:14:39.259 --> 00:14:39.819
 that we have

00:14:39.819 --> 00:14:40.279
 in front of us

00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:40.859
 this morning

00:14:40.859 --> 00:14:42.779
 and the

00:14:42.779 --> 00:14:43.419
 Christian hope

00:14:43.419 --> 00:14:43.919
 that sits

00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:44.319
 in these

00:14:44.319 --> 00:14:44.779
 verses

00:14:44.779 --> 00:14:46.240
 we have

00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:46.759
 in the

00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:47.079
 Christian

00:14:47.079 --> 00:14:47.659
 faith

00:14:47.659 --> 00:14:49.039
 the resource

00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:49.919
 that all

00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:50.779
 of humanity

00:14:50.779 --> 00:14:51.599
 needs

00:14:51.599 --> 00:14:53.139
 to face

00:14:53.139 --> 00:14:53.539
 death

00:14:53.539 --> 00:14:54.059
 and therefore

00:14:54.059 --> 00:14:54.599
 how to live

00:14:54.599 --> 00:14:54.959
 well.

00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:57.780
 this is

00:14:57.780 --> 00:14:58.200
 if you

00:14:58.200 --> 00:14:58.639
 like

00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:00.360
 the

00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:01.160
 greatest

00:15:01.160 --> 00:15:02.360
 contribution

00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:03.580
 that we

00:15:03.580 --> 00:15:04.340
 can make

00:15:04.340 --> 00:15:06.139
 to Chatswood

00:15:06.139 --> 00:15:07.180
 to our

00:15:07.180 --> 00:15:07.560
 neighbours.

00:15:10.920 --> 00:15:11.920
 Verse 13

00:15:11.920 --> 00:15:12.200
 again

00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:12.759
 Paul writes

00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:13.680
 so that

00:15:13.680 --> 00:15:14.139
 you do

00:15:14.139 --> 00:15:14.340
 not

00:15:14.340 --> 00:15:15.100
 grieve

00:15:15.100 --> 00:15:15.860
 like the

00:15:15.860 --> 00:15:16.480
 rest of

00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:16.820
 mankind

00:15:16.820 --> 00:15:17.259
 who have

00:15:17.259 --> 00:15:17.700
 no hope.

00:15:17.920 --> 00:15:18.420
 It's a

00:15:18.420 --> 00:15:18.620
 double

00:15:18.620 --> 00:15:19.040
 negative

00:15:19.040 --> 00:15:19.680
 which

00:15:19.680 --> 00:15:20.100
 basically

00:15:20.100 --> 00:15:20.460
 what he's

00:15:20.460 --> 00:15:20.660
 saying

00:15:20.660 --> 00:15:21.139
 quite

00:15:21.139 --> 00:15:21.540
 literally

00:15:21.540 --> 00:15:22.940
 to grieve

00:15:22.940 --> 00:15:23.620
 hopefully

00:15:23.620 --> 00:15:25.860
 he doesn't

00:15:25.860 --> 00:15:26.299
 say

00:15:26.299 --> 00:15:27.539
 instead of

00:15:27.539 --> 00:15:27.919
 grieving

00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:28.679
 I want

00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:28.879
 you to

00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:29.039
 have

00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:29.340
 hope

00:15:29.340 --> 00:15:29.700
 nor does

00:15:29.700 --> 00:15:30.060
 he say

00:15:30.060 --> 00:15:30.320
 there's

00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:30.899
 no real

00:15:30.899 --> 00:15:31.200
 hope

00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:31.679
 so just

00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:32.600
 grieve

00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:34.039
 he says

00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:34.580
 Christians

00:15:34.580 --> 00:15:35.500
 can and

00:15:35.500 --> 00:15:35.960
 must

00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:36.620
 both

00:15:36.620 --> 00:15:37.279
 grieve

00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:38.440
 profoundly

00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:40.360
 and fully

00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:42.159
 because

00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:43.500
 death

00:15:43.500 --> 00:15:44.580
 is wrong

00:15:44.580 --> 00:15:46.279
 it is

00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:47.080
 unnatural

00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:48.180
 and yet

00:15:48.180 --> 00:15:49.560
 do it

00:15:49.560 --> 00:15:50.700
 with

00:15:50.700 --> 00:15:51.600
 such

00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:52.400
 hope

00:15:52.400 --> 00:15:54.280
 because

00:15:54.280 --> 00:15:56.440
 grief

00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:56.879
 while

00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:57.580
 good

00:15:57.580 --> 00:15:59.480
 unfortunately

00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:00.300
 can

00:16:00.300 --> 00:16:01.200
 turn

00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:01.879
 into

00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:02.480
 bitterness

00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:03.640
 it can

00:16:03.640 --> 00:16:04.400
 darken

00:16:04.400 --> 00:16:05.360
 your life

00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:06.400
 it can

00:16:06.400 --> 00:16:07.140
 stifle

00:16:07.140 --> 00:16:07.920
 your joy

00:16:07.920 --> 00:16:09.160
 if grief

00:16:09.160 --> 00:16:10.020
 takes over

00:16:10.020 --> 00:16:10.360
 without

00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:10.840
 hope

00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:13.160
 now

00:16:13.160 --> 00:16:14.500
 let me

00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:14.720
 just

00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:15.280
 jump

00:16:15.280 --> 00:16:17.120
 back

00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:17.480
 in the

00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:17.660
 New

00:16:17.660 --> 00:16:18.060
 Testament

00:16:18.060 --> 00:16:18.360
 to

00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:18.660
 John

00:16:18.660 --> 00:16:19.020
 chapter

00:16:19.020 --> 00:16:19.460
 11

00:16:19.460 --> 00:16:23.300
 we have

00:16:23.300 --> 00:16:24.840
 the

00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:25.360
 greatest

00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:26.220
 example

00:16:26.220 --> 00:16:27.440
 of

00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:27.980
 how to

00:16:27.980 --> 00:16:28.460
 grieve

00:16:28.460 --> 00:16:29.139
 hopefully

00:16:29.139 --> 00:16:30.379
 and it's

00:16:30.379 --> 00:16:30.720
 in

00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:31.560
 Jesus

00:16:31.560 --> 00:16:32.780
 when he

00:16:32.780 --> 00:16:33.400
 goes

00:16:33.400 --> 00:16:34.220
 to

00:16:34.220 --> 00:16:34.720
 his

00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:35.040
 mate

00:16:35.040 --> 00:16:35.820
 Lazarus

00:16:35.820 --> 00:16:36.080
 who's

00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:36.440
 just

00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:37.080
 died

00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:37.720
 in

00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:37.940
 John

00:16:37.940 --> 00:16:38.340
 11

00:16:38.340 --> 00:16:40.120
 notice

00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:40.519
 in

00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:40.920
 there

00:16:40.920 --> 00:16:41.580
 you won't

00:16:41.580 --> 00:16:41.980
 notice it

00:16:41.980 --> 00:16:42.100
 because

00:16:42.100 --> 00:16:42.320
 you haven't

00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:42.600
 got you

00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:42.860
 to read

00:16:42.860 --> 00:16:42.940
 it

00:16:42.940 --> 00:16:43.100
 but

00:16:43.100 --> 00:16:44.180
 in

00:16:44.180 --> 00:16:44.400
 John

00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:45.400
 Jesus

00:16:45.400 --> 00:16:45.680
 does

00:16:45.680 --> 00:16:45.860
 not

00:16:45.860 --> 00:16:46.040
 come

00:16:46.040 --> 00:16:46.160
 up

00:16:46.160 --> 00:16:46.300
 to

00:16:46.300 --> 00:16:46.840
 Lazarus

00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:47.540
 sisters

00:16:47.540 --> 00:16:47.800
 Mary

00:16:47.800 --> 00:16:48.000
 and

00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:48.360
 Martha

00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:49.639
 his

00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:50.180
 bereaved

00:16:50.180 --> 00:16:50.519
 sisters

00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:50.700
 who

00:16:50.700 --> 00:16:50.840
 were

00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:51.259
 grieving

00:16:51.259 --> 00:16:51.800
 and

00:16:51.800 --> 00:16:51.919
 he

00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:52.159
 doesn't

00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:52.419
 say

00:16:52.419 --> 00:16:52.560
 to

00:16:52.560 --> 00:16:52.740
 them

00:16:52.740 --> 00:16:53.259
 they're

00:16:53.259 --> 00:16:53.600
 there

00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:55.060
 stiff

00:16:55.060 --> 00:16:55.340
 upper

00:16:55.340 --> 00:16:55.659
 lip

 chin

00:16:58.060 --> 00:16:58.300
 up

00:16:58.300 --> 00:16:58.600
 be

00:16:58.600 --> 00:16:59.120
 strong

00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:01.220
 he

00:17:01.220 --> 00:17:01.440
 didn't

00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:01.600
 do

00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:02.019
 any

00:17:02.019 --> 00:17:02.220
 of

00:17:02.220 --> 00:17:02.460
 that

00:17:02.460 --> 00:17:02.700
 at

00:17:02.700 --> 00:17:03.100
 all

00:17:03.100 --> 00:17:05.299
 he

00:17:05.299 --> 00:17:05.680
 did

00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:06.059
 bring

00:17:06.059 --> 00:17:06.480
 words

00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:06.660
 of

00:17:06.660 --> 00:17:07.039
 comfort

00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:07.279
 to

00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:07.420
 them

00:17:07.420 --> 00:17:07.519
 he

00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:07.680
 did

00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:08.099
 speak

00:17:08.099 --> 00:17:08.240
 to

00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:08.339
 them

00:17:08.339 --> 00:17:08.420
 he

00:17:08.420 --> 00:17:08.559
 did

00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:08.759
 bring

00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:09.079
 words

00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:09.480
 of

00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:09.779
 comfort

00:17:09.779 --> 00:17:10.099
 that

00:17:10.099 --> 00:17:10.579
 I

00:17:10.579 --> 00:17:10.819
 am

00:17:10.819 --> 00:17:11.000
 the

00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:11.460
 resurrection

00:17:11.460 --> 00:17:11.740
 and

00:17:11.740 --> 00:17:11.860
 the

00:17:11.860 --> 00:17:12.339
 life

00:17:12.339 --> 00:17:13.319
 it was

00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:13.500
 something

00:17:13.500 --> 00:17:13.700
 they

00:17:13.700 --> 00:17:13.880
 looked

00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:14.160
 forward

00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:14.460
 to

00:17:14.460 --> 00:17:14.880
 he

00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:15.640
 reminded

00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:15.860
 them

00:17:15.860 --> 00:17:16.019
 that

00:17:16.019 --> 00:17:16.400
 Lazarus

00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:16.700
 will

00:17:16.700 --> 00:17:17.180
 rise

00:17:17.180 --> 00:17:17.620
 again

00:17:17.619 --> 00:17:17.959
 but

00:17:17.959 --> 00:17:18.179
 that's

00:17:18.179 --> 00:17:18.339
 not

00:17:18.339 --> 00:17:18.719
 all

00:17:18.719 --> 00:17:19.019
 that

00:17:19.019 --> 00:17:19.359
 happened

00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:19.739
 here

00:17:19.739 --> 00:17:21.019
 we

00:17:21.019 --> 00:17:21.199
 are

00:17:21.199 --> 00:17:21.679
 told

00:17:21.679 --> 00:17:22.139
 in

00:17:22.139 --> 00:17:22.339
 the

00:17:22.339 --> 00:17:22.759
 shortest

00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:23.219
 verse

00:17:23.219 --> 00:17:23.500
 in

00:17:23.500 --> 00:17:23.719
 the

00:17:23.719 --> 00:17:24.139
 Bible

00:17:24.139 --> 00:17:24.879
 in

00:17:24.879 --> 00:17:25.079
 verse

00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:25.519
 35

00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:25.719
 John

00:17:25.719 --> 00:17:26.539
 Jesus

00:17:26.539 --> 00:17:27.959
 wept

00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:29.700
 he

00:17:29.700 --> 00:17:30.740
 he

00:17:30.740 --> 00:17:30.980
 was

00:17:30.980 --> 00:17:32.480
 deeply

00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:34.120
 grieved

00:17:34.120 --> 00:17:36.200
 deeply

00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:37.019
 grieved

00:17:37.019 --> 00:17:37.039
!

00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:39.660
 as he

00:17:39.660 --> 00:17:40.380
 sees the

00:17:40.380 --> 00:17:40.960
 grief of

00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:41.480
 the people

00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:42.019
 weeping

00:17:42.019 --> 00:17:42.460
 over

00:17:42.460 --> 00:17:43.120
 Lazarus

00:17:43.120 --> 00:17:44.019
 and the

00:17:44.019 --> 00:17:44.380
 fact that

00:17:44.380 --> 00:17:44.920
 he lost

00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:45.720
 one of

00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:45.920
 his

00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:46.480
 mates

00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:47.640
 so

00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:48.480
 think

00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:48.720
 about

00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:49.180
 this

00:17:49.180 --> 00:17:52.279
 think

00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:52.460
 about

00:17:52.460 --> 00:17:52.960
 here

00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:53.299
 is

00:17:53.299 --> 00:17:54.019
 Jesus

00:17:54.019 --> 00:17:55.159
 the

00:17:55.159 --> 00:17:55.539
 son

00:17:55.539 --> 00:17:55.720
 of

00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:56.119
 God

00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:56.980
 who

00:17:56.980 --> 00:17:57.399
 knew

00:17:57.399 --> 00:17:57.879
 quite

00:17:57.879 --> 00:17:58.259
 well

00:17:58.259 --> 00:17:58.599
 in

00:17:58.599 --> 00:17:58.839
 that

00:17:58.839 --> 00:17:59.259
 moment

00:17:59.259 --> 00:17:59.579
 when

00:17:59.579 --> 00:17:59.819
 he

 believe

 that

 the

00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:11.139
 faith

00:19:11.139 --> 00:19:11.339
 if

00:19:11.339 --> 00:19:11.480
 I

00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:11.639
 could

00:19:11.639 --> 00:19:11.819
 be

00:19:11.819 --> 00:19:12.059
 so

00:19:12.059 --> 00:19:12.399
 bold

00:19:12.399 --> 00:19:13.759
 is

00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:18.759
 is

00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:18.919
 if

00:19:18.919 --> 00:19:19.179
 death

00:19:19.179 --> 00:19:19.339
 is

00:19:19.339 --> 00:19:19.519
 our

00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:19.859
 greatest

00:19:19.859 --> 00:19:20.379
 fear

00:19:20.379 --> 00:19:21.059
 so

00:19:21.059 --> 00:19:21.319
 much

00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:21.559
 so

00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:21.699
 that

00:19:21.699 --> 00:19:21.839
 we

00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:22.139
 can't

00:19:22.139 --> 00:19:22.419
 even

 talking

00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:23.740
 about

00:19:23.740 --> 00:19:23.939
 it

00:19:23.939 --> 00:19:24.279
 and

00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:24.419
 we

00:19:24.419 --> 00:19:24.659
 spend

00:19:24.659 --> 00:19:24.859
 our

00:19:24.859 --> 00:19:25.099
 lives

00:19:25.099 --> 00:19:25.599
 avoiding

00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:25.919
 it

00:19:25.919 --> 00:19:26.959
 then

 gospel

00:19:28.859 --> 00:19:29.740
 is

00:19:29.740 --> 00:19:30.019
 what

00:19:30.019 --> 00:19:30.359
 we

00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:30.779
 hold

00:19:30.779 --> 00:19:31.359
 out

00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:32.559
 to

00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:32.759
 a

 community

00:19:33.219 --> 00:19:33.519

00:19:34.699 --> 00:19:34.919
 and

00:19:34.919 --> 00:19:35.039

00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:35.199
 do

00:19:35.199 --> 00:19:35.319
 it

00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:38.259
 this

00:19:38.259 --> 00:19:38.399
 is

00:19:38.399 --> 00:19:38.579
 the

00:19:38.579 --> 00:19:39.039
 greatest

00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:39.500
 thing

00:19:39.500 --> 00:19:39.759
 that we

00:19:40.740 --> 00:19:45.519
 one of

00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:45.619
 the

00:19:45.619 --> 00:19:45.960
 interesting

00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:46.380
 things

00:19:46.380 --> 00:19:46.680
 about

 the

00:19:48.259 --> 00:19:49.180
 passage

00:19:49.180 --> 00:19:51.900
 is

00:19:51.900 --> 00:19:52.160
 that

00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:53.460
 Jesus

00:19:53.460 --> 00:19:53.960
 didn't

00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:54.299
 go

00:19:54.299 --> 00:19:54.900
 home

00:19:54.900 --> 00:19:56.400
 if

00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:56.580
 you've

00:19:56.580 --> 00:19:56.759

 had

00:19:56.940 --> 00:19:57.080
 the

 experience

00:19:57.980 --> 00:19:58.880
 of

00:19:59.700 --> 00:20:00.400
 nowadays

00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:01.480
 so

00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:01.880
 many

00:20:09.259 --> 00:20:09.680
 they're

00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:09.779
 not

 actually

00:20:09.980 --> 00:20:10.259
 funeral

00:20:10.259 --> 00:20:11.000
 the

 many

00:20:14.539 --> 00:20:15.320
 times

 no

00:20:22.340 --> 00:20:22.660
 one

00:20:22.660 --> 00:20:24.799
 we've

00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:24.940
 done

00:20:24.940 --> 00:20:25.059
 the

00:20:25.059 --> 00:20:25.380
 memorial

00:20:25.380 --> 00:20:25.940
 service

00:20:25.940 --> 00:20:26.799
 and

00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:27.000
 it's

00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:27.220
 just

00:20:27.220 --> 00:20:27.620
 me

00:20:27.620 --> 00:20:28.100
 a

00:20:28.100 --> 00:20:28.400
 funeral

00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:28.880
 director

00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:29.680
 and a

00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:30.039
 coffin

00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:31.660
 to lay

00:20:31.660 --> 00:20:31.860
 that

00:20:31.860 --> 00:20:32.120
 body

00:20:32.120 --> 00:20:32.680
 to rest

00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:33.000
 because

00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:33.200
 we

00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:33.720
 cannot

00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:34.320
 cope

00:20:34.320 --> 00:20:35.160
 in

00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:35.360
 the

00:20:35.360 --> 00:20:35.860
 face

00:20:35.860 --> 00:20:36.519
 of

00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:36.940
 death

00:20:36.940 --> 00:20:38.980
 and

00:20:38.980 --> 00:20:39.200
 so

00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:40.160
 this

00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:40.320
 is

00:20:40.320 --> 00:20:40.799
 interesting

00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:41.799
 because

00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:42.279
 Jesus

00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:43.140
 arrives

00:20:43.140 --> 00:20:43.380
 he

00:20:43.380 --> 00:20:43.860
 weeps

00:20:43.860 --> 00:20:44.140
 with

00:20:44.140 --> 00:20:44.500
 Mary

00:20:44.500 --> 00:20:44.820
 and

00:20:44.820 --> 00:20:45.279
 Martha

00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:46.320
 and

00:20:46.320 --> 00:20:46.640
 then

00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:46.880
 he

00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:47.259
 does

00:20:47.259 --> 00:20:47.480
 the

00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:48.180
 unthinkable

00:20:48.180 --> 00:20:50.320
 what

00:20:50.320 --> 00:20:50.480
 does

00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:50.580
 he

00:20:50.580 --> 00:20:50.880
 do

00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:53.299
 he

00:20:53.299 --> 00:20:53.640
 heads

00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:53.840
 to

00:20:53.840 --> 00:20:54.039
 the

00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:54.320
 tomb

00:20:54.320 --> 00:20:57.559
 who

00:20:57.559 --> 00:20:57.820
 does

00:20:57.820 --> 00:20:58.120
 that

00:20:58.120 --> 00:20:59.580
 he

00:20:59.580 --> 00:20:59.920
 heads

00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:00.100
 to

00:21:00.100 --> 00:21:00.240
 the

00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:00.559
 tomb

00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:03.700
 and

00:21:03.700 --> 00:21:04.100
 as

00:21:04.100 --> 00:21:04.460
 Jesus

00:21:04.460 --> 00:21:05.240
 goes

00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:05.440
 to

00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:05.620
 the

00:21:05.620 --> 00:21:06.019
 tomb

00:21:06.019 --> 00:21:06.279
 we

00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:06.440
 are

00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:06.920
 told

00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:09.080
 twice

00:21:09.080 --> 00:21:10.720
 in

00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:11.019
 chapter

00:21:11.019 --> 00:21:11.400
 11

00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:11.940
 that

00:21:11.940 --> 00:21:12.400
 Jesus

00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:13.019
 is

00:21:13.019 --> 00:21:13.800
 deeply

00:21:13.800 --> 00:21:15.200
 moved

00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:16.539
 deeply

00:21:16.539 --> 00:21:17.100
 moved

00:21:17.100 --> 00:21:18.100
 and

00:21:18.100 --> 00:21:18.240
 when

00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:18.380
 we

00:21:18.380 --> 00:21:18.759
 read

00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:19.060
 that

00:21:19.060 --> 00:21:19.259
 we

00:21:19.259 --> 00:21:19.860
 assume

00:21:19.860 --> 00:21:20.700
 that

00:21:20.700 --> 00:21:21.100
 well

00:21:21.100 --> 00:21:22.460
 you know

00:21:22.460 --> 00:21:22.880
 the

00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:23.100
 whole

00:21:23.100 --> 00:21:23.539
 emotion

00:21:23.539 --> 00:21:23.700
 of

00:21:23.700 --> 00:21:23.940
 everything

00:21:23.940 --> 00:21:24.080
 he's

00:21:24.080 --> 00:21:25.380
 weeping

00:21:25.380 --> 00:21:25.740
 he's

00:21:25.740 --> 00:21:26.180
 grieving

00:21:26.180 --> 00:21:26.860
 and

00:21:26.860 --> 00:21:27.160
 yet

00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:28.080
 that's

00:21:28.080 --> 00:21:28.539
 not

00:21:28.539 --> 00:21:29.060
 what

00:21:29.060 --> 00:21:29.500
 that

00:21:29.500 --> 00:21:30.120
 statement

00:21:30.120 --> 00:21:30.660
 deeply

00:21:30.660 --> 00:21:31.100
 moved

00:21:31.100 --> 00:21:31.759
 means

00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:32.519
 it

00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:32.880
 doesn't

00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:33.039
 mean

00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:33.200
 that

00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:33.340
 he's

00:21:33.340 --> 00:21:33.660
 weeping

00:21:33.660 --> 00:21:33.800
 it

00:21:33.800 --> 00:21:34.080
 doesn't

00:21:34.080 --> 00:21:34.240
 mean

00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:34.400
 that

00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:34.560
 he's

00:21:34.560 --> 00:21:34.900
 grieving

00:21:34.900 --> 00:21:35.539
 quite

00:21:35.539 --> 00:21:36.100
 literally

00:21:36.099 --> 00:21:37.539
 the words

00:21:37.539 --> 00:21:37.980
 deeply

00:21:37.980 --> 00:21:38.459
 moved

00:21:38.459 --> 00:21:38.740
 there

00:21:38.740 --> 00:21:39.059
 in the

00:21:39.059 --> 00:21:39.539
 original

00:21:39.539 --> 00:21:40.639
 language

00:21:40.639 --> 00:21:41.079
 mean

00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:41.559
 he was

00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:42.359
 snorting

00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:42.599
 with

00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:43.379
 rage

00:21:43.379 --> 00:21:45.500
 as he

00:21:45.500 --> 00:21:45.819
 walked

00:21:45.819 --> 00:21:46.139
 to the

00:21:46.139 --> 00:21:46.399
 tomb

00:21:46.399 --> 00:21:50.519
 snorting

00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:51.059
 he was

00:21:51.059 --> 00:21:51.779
 roaring

00:21:51.779 --> 00:21:52.579
 towards

00:21:52.579 --> 00:21:53.319
 the tomb

00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:53.579
 with

00:21:53.579 --> 00:21:54.119
 anger

00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:56.119
 death

00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:57.979
 how

00:21:57.979 --> 00:21:58.699
 could

00:21:58.699 --> 00:21:58.919
 the

00:21:58.919 --> 00:21:59.439
 creator

00:21:59.439 --> 00:21:59.739
 of

00:21:59.739 --> 00:21:59.879
 the

00:21:59.879 --> 00:22:00.259
 world

00:22:00.259 --> 00:22:00.679
 be

00:22:00.679 --> 00:22:01.219
 angry

00:22:01.219 --> 00:22:01.539
 at

00:22:01.539 --> 00:22:02.000
 something

00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:02.279
 that

00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:02.539
 was

00:22:02.539 --> 00:22:03.419
 natural

00:22:03.419 --> 00:22:03.859
 in

00:22:03.859 --> 00:22:04.099
 his

00:22:04.099 --> 00:22:04.519
 world

00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:06.159
 only

00:22:06.159 --> 00:22:06.539
 if

00:22:06.539 --> 00:22:06.819
 death

00:22:06.819 --> 00:22:07.099
 is

00:22:07.099 --> 00:22:07.439
 not

00:22:07.439 --> 00:22:07.879
 natural

00:22:07.879 --> 00:22:08.219
 it

00:22:08.219 --> 00:22:08.399
 is

00:22:08.399 --> 00:22:08.559
 an

00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:09.239
 intruder

00:22:09.239 --> 00:22:09.959
 into

00:22:09.959 --> 00:22:10.319
 his

00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:10.719
 world

00:22:10.719 --> 00:22:14.059
 death

00:22:14.059 --> 00:22:14.319
 was

00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:14.719
 not

00:22:14.719 --> 00:22:15.079
 the

00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:15.559
 original

00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:16.239
 design

00:22:16.239 --> 00:22:16.599
 of

00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:16.919
 God

00:22:16.919 --> 00:22:17.379
 for

00:22:17.379 --> 00:22:17.679
 human

00:22:17.679 --> 00:22:18.079
 life

00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:18.239
 we

00:22:18.239 --> 00:22:18.459
 see

00:22:18.459 --> 00:22:18.639
 that

00:22:18.639 --> 00:22:18.899
 right

00:22:18.899 --> 00:22:19.019
 at

00:22:19.019 --> 00:22:19.079
 the

00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:19.279
 beginning

00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:19.419
 of

00:22:21.539 --> 00:22:21.699
 us

00:22:21.699 --> 00:22:21.839
 that

00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:21.939
 we

00:22:21.939 --> 00:22:22.099
 were

 we

00:22:41.620 --> 00:22:41.820
 that

00:22:41.820 --> 00:22:42.140
 when

00:22:42.140 --> 00:22:42.440
 we

00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:42.840
 turn

00:22:42.840 --> 00:22:43.080
 from

00:22:43.080 --> 00:22:43.520
 God

00:22:43.520 --> 00:22:44.020
 to

00:22:44.020 --> 00:22:44.380
 find

00:22:44.380 --> 00:22:44.580
 for

 ourselves

 our

00:22:45.380 --> 00:22:45.700
 own

00:22:45.700 --> 00:22:46.120
 meaning

 our

00:22:46.700 --> 00:22:47.020
 own

 ruler

00:22:47.360 --> 00:22:47.820
 to

00:22:47.820 --> 00:22:48.100
 become

 our

00:22:48.300 --> 00:22:48.600
 own

00:22:48.600 --> 00:22:49.320
 rescuers

00:22:49.320 --> 00:22:50.340
 everything

00:22:50.340 --> 00:22:50.660
 in

00:22:50.660 --> 00:22:50.780
 the

00:22:50.780 --> 00:22:51.080
 God's

00:22:51.080 --> 00:22:51.400
 created

00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:51.620
 order

00:22:51.620 --> 00:22:52.120
 broke

00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:54.059
 the

00:22:54.059 --> 00:22:54.479
 natural

00:22:54.479 --> 00:22:54.959
 created

00:22:54.959 --> 00:22:55.439
 order

00:22:55.439 --> 00:22:55.919
 our

00:22:55.919 --> 00:22:56.319
 bodies

00:22:56.319 --> 00:22:56.539
 our

 hearts

00:22:56.899 --> 00:22:57.059
 our

00:22:57.059 --> 00:22:57.279
 life

00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:58.019
 nothing

00:22:58.019 --> 00:22:58.759
 works

00:22:58.759 --> 00:22:59.219
 as it

00:22:59.219 --> 00:22:59.379
 was

00:22:59.379 --> 00:22:59.899
 originally

00:22:59.899 --> 00:23:00.959
 designed

00:23:00.959 --> 00:23:01.679
 by God

00:23:01.679 --> 00:23:02.119
 to be

00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:02.879
 everything

00:23:02.879 --> 00:23:03.599
 is marred

00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:04.119
 everything

00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:04.879
 is distorted

00:23:04.879 --> 00:23:05.419
 everything

00:23:05.419 --> 00:23:06.079
 is broken

00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:07.039
 death

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:08.379
 is not

00:23:08.379 --> 00:23:08.819
 just

00:23:08.819 --> 00:23:09.139
 our

00:23:09.139 --> 00:23:09.699
 enemy

00:23:09.699 --> 00:23:10.979
 death

00:23:10.979 --> 00:23:11.839
 is our

00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:13.079
 executioner

00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:14.419
 because

00:23:14.419 --> 00:23:15.059
 it is

00:23:15.059 --> 00:23:15.299
 the

00:23:15.299 --> 00:23:15.819
 punishment

00:23:15.819 --> 00:23:17.559
 that

00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:18.239
 humanity

00:23:18.239 --> 00:23:19.099
 deserves

00:23:19.099 --> 00:23:19.439
 for

00:23:19.439 --> 00:23:19.959
 rejecting

00:23:19.959 --> 00:23:20.399
 the

00:23:20.399 --> 00:23:20.799
 author

00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:21.119
 of

00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:21.599
 life

00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:24.639
 and

00:23:24.639 --> 00:23:25.119
 Jesus

00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:26.179
 grieves

00:23:26.179 --> 00:23:26.219
!

00:23:27.219 --> 00:23:27.379
 as he

00:23:27.379 --> 00:23:28.000
 witnesses

00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:28.399
 the

00:23:28.399 --> 00:23:29.099
 intruder

00:23:29.099 --> 00:23:29.559
 playing

00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:30.000
 havoc

00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:30.279
 with

00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:30.480
 his

00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:30.919
 people

00:23:30.919 --> 00:23:33.459
 and

00:23:33.459 --> 00:23:33.679
 he

00:23:33.679 --> 00:23:33.899
 is

00:23:33.899 --> 00:23:34.579
 angry

00:23:34.579 --> 00:23:36.059
 at

00:23:36.059 --> 00:23:36.219
 the

00:23:36.219 --> 00:23:37.179
 monstrosity

00:23:37.179 --> 00:23:37.399
 of

00:23:37.399 --> 00:23:37.799
 death

00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:38.679
 it

00:23:38.679 --> 00:23:38.959
 is

00:23:38.959 --> 00:23:39.240
 the

00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:39.859
 deepest

00:23:39.859 --> 00:23:40.779
 distortion

00:23:40.779 --> 00:23:42.059
 of

00:23:42.059 --> 00:23:42.259
 the

00:23:42.259 --> 00:23:42.740
 creation

00:23:42.740 --> 00:23:43.000
 that

00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:43.179
 he

00:23:43.179 --> 00:23:43.659
 loves

00:23:43.659 --> 00:23:44.679
 it

00:23:44.679 --> 00:23:44.919
 is

00:23:44.919 --> 00:23:45.539
 hideous

00:23:45.539 --> 00:23:45.839
 it

00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:46.019
 is

00:23:46.019 --> 00:23:46.599
 frightening

00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:46.879
 it

00:23:46.879 --> 00:23:47.059
 is

00:23:47.059 --> 00:23:47.539
 cruel

00:23:47.539 --> 00:23:48.019
 and

00:23:48.019 --> 00:23:48.159
 it

00:23:48.159 --> 00:23:48.359
 is

00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:49.139
 unusual

00:23:49.139 --> 00:23:49.819
 it

00:23:49.819 --> 00:23:50.039
 is

00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:50.460
 not

00:23:50.460 --> 00:23:50.700
 the

00:23:50.700 --> 00:23:51.000
 way

00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:51.559
 life

00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:51.819
 was

00:23:51.819 --> 00:23:52.059
 meant

00:23:52.059 --> 00:23:52.240
 to

00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:52.599
 be

00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:54.940
 and

00:23:54.940 --> 00:23:55.180
 our

00:23:55.180 --> 00:23:55.819
 grief

00:23:55.819 --> 00:23:57.119
 while

00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:57.339
 we

00:23:57.339 --> 00:23:57.579
 may

00:23:57.579 --> 00:23:57.819
 not

00:23:57.819 --> 00:23:58.500
 express

00:23:58.500 --> 00:23:58.720
 it

00:23:58.720 --> 00:23:59.319
 publicly

00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:00.139
 our

00:24:00.139 --> 00:24:00.819
 grief

00:24:00.819 --> 00:24:01.639
 that

00:24:01.639 --> 00:24:01.980
 is

00:24:01.980 --> 00:24:02.379
 there

00:24:02.379 --> 00:24:02.579
 that

00:24:02.579 --> 00:24:02.740
 we

00:24:02.740 --> 00:24:03.139
 carry

00:24:03.139 --> 00:24:03.420
 in

00:24:03.420 --> 00:24:03.579
 the

00:24:03.579 --> 00:24:04.019
 depths

00:24:04.019 --> 00:24:04.220
 of

00:24:04.220 --> 00:24:04.440
 our

00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:04.960
 being

00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:06.819
 acknowledges

00:24:06.819 --> 00:24:07.500
 death

00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:08.359
 as

00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:08.799
 just

00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:09.220
 that

00:24:09.220 --> 00:24:12.119
 and

00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:12.500
 Jesus

00:24:12.500 --> 00:24:13.079
 weeps

00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:13.519
 as he

00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:14.119
 sees

00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:14.299
 and

00:24:14.299 --> 00:24:15.000
 experiences

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:15.339
 the

00:24:15.339 --> 00:24:15.879
 destruction

00:24:15.879 --> 00:24:16.180
 of

00:24:16.180 --> 00:24:16.460
 death

00:24:16.460 --> 00:24:17.000
 and

00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:17.299
 he

00:24:17.299 --> 00:24:18.539
 storms

00:24:18.539 --> 00:24:19.759
 with

00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:20.240
 anger

00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:21.500
 towards

00:24:21.500 --> 00:24:22.160
 Lazarus

00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:22.740
 tomb

00:24:22.740 --> 00:24:25.640
 and

00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:26.019
 Jesus

00:24:26.019 --> 00:24:26.519
 knew

00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:28.180
 in

00:24:28.180 --> 00:24:28.420
 that

00:24:28.420 --> 00:24:28.980
 moment

00:24:28.980 --> 00:24:31.400
 something

00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:31.779
 that

00:24:31.779 --> 00:24:32.559
 no one

00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:33.039
 else

00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:33.400
 knew

00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:33.559
 in

00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:33.759
 that

00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:34.140
 moment

00:24:34.140 --> 00:24:37.500
 and

00:24:37.500 --> 00:24:38.380
 yes

00:24:38.380 --> 00:24:38.840
 they did

00:24:38.840 --> 00:24:39.279
 not know

00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:39.600
 that he

00:24:39.600 --> 00:24:39.900
 was going

00:24:39.900 --> 00:24:40.279
 to raise

00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:40.420
 him

00:24:40.420 --> 00:24:40.620
 from

00:24:40.620 --> 00:24:40.819
 the

00:24:40.819 --> 00:24:41.160
 dead

00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:41.579
 they

00:24:41.579 --> 00:24:41.759
 did

 not

 know

00:24:42.140 --> 00:24:42.440
 that

00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:43.580
 but

00:24:43.580 --> 00:24:43.779
 there

00:24:43.779 --> 00:24:43.960
 was

00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:44.380
 something

00:24:44.380 --> 00:24:45.000
 else

00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:45.980
 that

 no

00:24:46.440 --> 00:24:46.720
 one

00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:47.080
 else

00:24:47.080 --> 00:24:47.320
 could

00:24:47.320 --> 00:24:47.680
 predict

00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:47.900
 in

00:24:47.900 --> 00:24:48.100
 that

00:24:48.100 --> 00:24:48.500
 moment

00:24:48.500 --> 00:24:49.660
 as

00:24:49.660 --> 00:24:49.820
 he

00:24:49.820 --> 00:24:50.019
 went

00:24:50.019 --> 00:24:50.160
 to

00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:50.320
 the

00:24:50.320 --> 00:24:50.600
 tomb

00:24:50.600 --> 00:24:54.640
 we

00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:54.980
 get a

00:24:54.980 --> 00:24:55.240
 glimpse

00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:55.720
 of it

00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:57.759
 right at

00:24:57.759 --> 00:24:58.279
 the end

00:24:59.440 --> 00:24:59.740
 when

00:24:59.740 --> 00:25:00.120
 Jesus

00:25:00.120 --> 00:25:00.660
 raises

00:25:00.660 --> 00:25:00.980
 his

00:25:04.420 --> 00:25:04.799
 people

00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:05.039
 are

00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:05.820
 rejoicing

00:25:05.820 --> 00:25:05.820


00:25:05.820 --> 00:25:07.480
 except

 so

00:32:29.699 --> 00:32:30.980
 clogged

00:32:30.980 --> 00:32:31.480
 with

 rubbish

 that

00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:33.740
 only

 all

00:32:48.779 --> 00:32:49.480
 blockages

 removed

00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:50.559
 and

 the

 love

 infinite

00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:54.100
 it

00:32:54.100 --> 00:32:54.240
 will

00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:54.559
 be

00:32:54.559 --> 00:32:55.600
 inexpressibly

00:32:55.600 --> 00:32:56.080
 greater

00:32:56.080 --> 00:32:56.320
 than

00:32:56.320 --> 00:32:56.980
 anything

00:32:56.980 --> 00:32:57.440
 that we've

00:32:57.440 --> 00:32:57.700
 ever

00:32:57.700 --> 00:32:57.960
 had

00:32:57.960 --> 00:32:58.200
 here

00:32:58.200 --> 00:32:58.340
 in

00:32:58.340 --> 00:32:58.519
 this

00:32:58.519 --> 00:32:58.860
 world

00:32:58.860 --> 00:33:01.000
 right

00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:01.500
 now

00:33:01.500 --> 00:33:03.400
 even

00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:03.600
 in

00:33:03.600 --> 00:33:03.740
 the

00:33:03.740 --> 00:33:04.200
 best

00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:04.539
 love

00:33:04.539 --> 00:33:05.240
 relationships

00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:06.180
 we

00:33:06.180 --> 00:33:06.580
 hide

00:33:06.580 --> 00:33:07.039
 behind

00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:07.600
 facades

00:33:07.600 --> 00:33:07.840
 of

00:33:07.840 --> 00:33:08.240
 fear

00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:09.820
 fear

00:33:09.820 --> 00:33:10.000
 for

00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:10.220
 being

00:33:10.220 --> 00:33:10.740
 rejected

00:33:10.740 --> 00:33:12.059
 and so

00:33:12.059 --> 00:33:12.220
 we

00:33:12.220 --> 00:33:12.519
 never

00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:12.980
 experience

00:33:12.980 --> 00:33:13.160
 the

00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:13.940
 transforming

00:33:13.940 --> 00:33:14.559
 power

00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:15.039
 of

00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:15.240
 being

00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:15.759
 fully

00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:16.319
 known

00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:16.799
 and

00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:17.200
 loved

00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:17.319
 at

00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:17.460
 the

00:33:17.460 --> 00:33:17.660
 same

00:33:17.660 --> 00:33:18.100
 time

00:33:18.100 --> 00:33:18.620
 we

00:33:18.620 --> 00:33:18.920
 also

00:33:18.920 --> 00:33:19.279
 love

00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:20.079
 selfishly

00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:20.220
 and

00:33:20.220 --> 00:33:20.700
 enviously

00:33:20.700 --> 00:33:21.400
 which

00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:22.140
 disrupts

00:33:22.140 --> 00:33:22.400
 and it

00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:23.100
 weakens

00:33:23.100 --> 00:33:23.640
 and it

00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:23.940
 even

00:33:23.940 --> 00:33:24.480
 ends

00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:25.120
 love

00:33:25.120 --> 00:33:26.059
 relationships

00:33:26.059 --> 00:33:28.180
 and our

00:33:28.180 --> 00:33:28.759
 love

00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:29.380
 relationships

00:33:29.380 --> 00:33:31.299
 are also

00:33:31.299 --> 00:33:31.839
 darkened

00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:32.240
 by the

00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:32.660
 fear of

00:33:32.660 --> 00:33:33.079
 losing

00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:34.120
 the

00:33:34.120 --> 00:33:34.460
 person

00:33:34.460 --> 00:33:34.720
 we

00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:35.000
 truly

00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:35.420
 love

00:33:35.420 --> 00:33:38.019
 and

00:33:38.019 --> 00:33:38.799
 unfortunately

00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:40.059
 all of

00:33:40.059 --> 00:33:40.379
 those

00:33:40.379 --> 00:33:41.079
 clogs

00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:41.379
 in

00:33:41.379 --> 00:33:41.579
 the

00:33:41.579 --> 00:33:42.000
 pipe

00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:42.700
 can

00:33:42.700 --> 00:33:42.960
 make

00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:43.139
 us

00:33:43.139 --> 00:33:43.779
 controlling

00:33:43.779 --> 00:33:44.519
 which

00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:44.859
 drives

00:33:44.859 --> 00:33:45.220
 people

00:33:45.220 --> 00:33:45.639
 away

00:33:45.639 --> 00:33:46.419
 or in

00:33:46.419 --> 00:33:46.619
 some

00:33:46.619 --> 00:33:47.000
 cases

00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:47.119
 it

00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:47.399
 becomes

00:33:47.399 --> 00:33:47.940
 fearful

00:33:47.940 --> 00:33:48.119
 of

00:33:48.119 --> 00:33:48.359

 at

00:33:49.919 --> 00:33:50.279
 all

00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:51.240
 because

00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:51.639
 we

00:33:51.639 --> 00:33:51.940
 don't

00:33:51.940 --> 00:33:52.159
 want

00:33:52.159 --> 00:33:52.419
 our

 hearts

00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:53.119
 broken

00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:54.959
 all

00:33:54.959 --> 00:33:55.259
 these

00:33:55.259 --> 00:33:55.739
 things

00:33:55.739 --> 00:33:56.799
 reduce

00:33:56.799 --> 00:33:57.159
 love

00:33:57.159 --> 00:33:57.319
 in

 this

00:33:57.519 --> 00:33:57.839
 world

00:33:57.839 --> 00:33:58.079

 a

00:34:00.259 --> 00:34:00.699
 trickle

00:34:00.699 --> 00:34:01.339
 at

00:34:01.339 --> 00:34:01.519
 the

 bottom

00:34:01.779 --> 00:34:01.959
 of

00:34:02.679 --> 00:34:04.339

00:34:04.339 --> 00:34:04.579
 they're

00:34:21.820 --> 00:34:22.720
 infinitely

00:34:23.460 --> 00:34:24.220
 internally

00:34:24.220 --> 00:34:26.200
 the

00:34:26.200 --> 00:34:26.660
 Christian

00:34:26.660 --> 00:34:27.119
 hope

00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:28.400
 is for

00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:28.660
 a

00:34:28.660 --> 00:34:29.780
 personal

00:34:29.780 --> 00:34:31.240
 future

00:34:31.240 --> 00:34:31.840

 the

00:34:39.140 --> 00:34:39.440
 second

00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:39.700
 thing

00:34:39.700 --> 00:34:39.960
 about

00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:40.140
 the

00:34:40.140 --> 00:34:40.420
 Christian

00:34:40.420 --> 00:34:40.700
 hope

00:34:40.700 --> 00:34:40.960
 is

00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:41.160
 it's

00:34:41.160 --> 00:34:41.579
 physical

00:34:41.579 --> 00:34:42.660
 notice

00:34:42.660 --> 00:34:42.980
 that

00:34:42.980 --> 00:34:43.240
 Paul

00:34:43.240 --> 00:34:43.559
 says

00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:43.720
 here

00:34:43.720 --> 00:34:43.840
 in

 Thessalonians

00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:44.840
 4

00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:45.720
 he does

00:34:45.720 --> 00:34:46.079
 not merely

00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:46.320
 say

00:34:46.320 --> 00:34:47.400
 you go

00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:47.559
 to

00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:47.820
 heaven

00:34:47.820 --> 00:34:48.660
 he says

00:34:48.660 --> 00:34:48.960
 that

00:34:48.960 --> 00:34:49.220
 the

00:34:49.220 --> 00:34:49.860
 dead

00:34:49.860 --> 00:34:50.420
 in

00:34:50.420 --> 00:34:51.099
 Christ

00:34:51.099 --> 00:34:51.539
 will

00:34:51.539 --> 00:34:52.380
 rise

00:34:52.380 --> 00:34:54.960
 that

00:34:54.960 --> 00:34:55.299
 is

00:34:55.299 --> 00:34:56.279
 you

00:34:56.279 --> 00:34:56.679
 will

00:34:56.679 --> 00:34:57.539
 rise

00:34:57.539 --> 00:34:58.119
 like

00:34:58.119 --> 00:34:58.900
 Christ

00:34:58.900 --> 00:34:59.519
 has

00:34:59.519 --> 00:34:59.920
 risen

00:34:59.920 --> 00:35:01.539
 physically

00:35:01.539 --> 00:35:03.019
 the

00:35:03.019 --> 00:35:03.699
 climactic

00:35:03.699 --> 00:35:04.299
 end

00:35:04.299 --> 00:35:04.960
 of our

00:35:04.960 --> 00:35:05.500
 salvation

00:35:05.500 --> 00:35:05.819
 at the

00:35:05.819 --> 00:35:05.960
 end

00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:06.239
 of all

00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:06.619
 things

00:35:06.619 --> 00:35:07.339
 is a

00:35:07.339 --> 00:35:07.779
 brand

00:35:07.779 --> 00:35:08.119
 new

00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:08.500
 body

00:35:08.500 --> 00:35:08.960
 will

00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:09.179
 be

00:35:09.179 --> 00:35:09.739
 raised

00:35:09.739 --> 00:35:10.019
 like

00:35:10.019 --> 00:35:10.380
 Jesus

00:35:10.380 --> 00:35:10.659
 was

00:35:10.659 --> 00:35:11.079
 raised

00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:11.519
 when

00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:11.900
 Jesus

00:35:11.900 --> 00:35:12.139
 was

00:35:12.139 --> 00:35:12.319
 risen

00:35:12.319 --> 00:35:12.539
 from

00:35:12.539 --> 00:35:12.699
 the

00:35:12.699 --> 00:35:13.019
 dead

00:35:13.019 --> 00:35:13.599
 he

00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:13.860
 met

00:35:13.860 --> 00:35:14.019
 with

00:35:14.019 --> 00:35:14.179
 his

00:35:14.179 --> 00:35:14.679
 disciples

00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:15.139
 and

00:35:15.139 --> 00:35:15.400
 he

00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:16.059
 insisted

00:35:16.059 --> 00:35:16.380
 that

00:35:16.380 --> 00:35:16.519
 he

00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:16.779
 was

00:35:16.779 --> 00:35:17.559
 flesh

00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:17.880
 and

00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:18.440
 bones

00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:19.239
 he

00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:19.940
 insisted

00:35:19.940 --> 00:35:20.159
 that

00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:20.279
 they

00:35:20.279 --> 00:35:20.699
 touched

00:35:20.699 --> 00:35:20.860
 him

00:35:20.860 --> 00:35:21.200
 he

00:35:21.200 --> 00:35:21.700
 insisted

00:35:21.700 --> 00:35:21.940
 that

00:35:21.940 --> 00:35:22.059
 he

00:35:22.059 --> 00:35:22.420
 ate

00:35:22.420 --> 00:35:22.660
 with

00:35:22.660 --> 00:35:22.900
 them

00:35:22.900 --> 00:35:23.660
 that

00:35:23.660 --> 00:35:23.780
 he

00:35:23.780 --> 00:35:23.920
 was

00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:24.160
 not

00:35:24.160 --> 00:35:24.440
 just

00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:24.720
 a

00:35:24.720 --> 00:35:25.519
 spirit

00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:26.039
 floating

00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:26.420
 around

00:35:26.420 --> 00:35:26.680
 on

00:35:26.680 --> 00:35:27.620
 clouds

00:35:27.620 --> 00:35:28.360
 no

00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:28.820
 presence

00:35:28.820 --> 00:35:29.059
 of

00:35:29.059 --> 00:35:29.640
 harps

00:35:29.640 --> 00:35:30.099
 no

00:35:30.099 --> 00:35:30.579

 wings

00:35:31.300 --> 00:35:33.039
 physical

00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:36.140
 no

00:35:36.140 --> 00:35:36.660
 other

00:35:36.660 --> 00:35:36.880
 really

00:35:36.880 --> 00:35:37.340
 I'm not sure

00:35:37.340 --> 00:35:37.579
 if you've

00:35:37.579 --> 00:35:37.940
 understood

00:35:37.940 --> 00:35:38.400
 this

00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:39.460
 there is

00:35:39.460 --> 00:35:39.940
 not a

00:35:39.940 --> 00:35:40.720
 single

00:35:40.720 --> 00:35:41.680
 religion

00:35:45.099 --> 00:35:45.880
 of all

00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:46.579
 of humanity

00:35:46.579 --> 00:35:48.860
 that

00:35:48.860 --> 00:35:49.500
 promises

00:35:49.500 --> 00:35:51.860
 that

00:35:51.860 --> 00:35:52.239
 heaven

00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:52.739
 will be

 earth

00:35:57.759 --> 00:35:58.199
 a

 okay

00:36:53.099 --> 00:36:53.879
 you know

00:36:53.879 --> 00:36:54.519
 you've

00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:54.819
 lost

00:36:57.699 --> 00:36:58.000
 this

00:36:58.000 --> 00:36:58.500
 instead

00:36:58.500 --> 00:37:00.399
 it's

00:37:00.399 --> 00:37:00.579
 the

 recapturing

00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:04.839
 perfected

00:37:04.839 --> 00:37:06.439
 it's

00:37:06.439 --> 00:37:06.719
 not a

00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:07.279
 consolation

00:37:07.279 --> 00:37:07.779
 prize

00:37:07.780 --> 00:37:10.260
 it's

00:37:18.340 --> 00:37:18.680
 but let

00:37:21.560 --> 00:37:23.940
 Paul does

00:37:23.940 --> 00:37:24.320
 not simply

00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:24.920
 say here

00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:25.240

00:44:40.019 --> 00:44:40.519
 now

00:44:40.519 --> 00:44:40.900
 in
