00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:05.379
 Luke chapter 20, verse 27 to chapter 21, verse 4.

00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:12.080
 There came to him some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection.

00:00:13.300 --> 00:00:15.240
 And they asked him a question, saying,

00:00:15.540 --> 00:00:20.300
 Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife but no children,

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:23.519
 the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.

00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:26.000
 Now there were seven brothers.

00:00:26.420 --> 00:00:28.980
 The first took a wife and died without children,

00:00:28.980 --> 00:00:31.539
 and the second and the third took her.

00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:35.780
 And likewise, all seven left no children and died.

00:00:36.740 --> 00:00:38.439
 Afterward, the woman also died.

00:00:39.659 --> 00:00:43.480
 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be?

00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:45.939
 For the seven had her as wife.

00:00:47.380 --> 00:00:48.579
 And Jesus said to them,

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.359
 The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:57.500
 But those who are considered worthy to attend to that age and to the resurrection from the dead,

00:00:57.500 --> 00:01:00.020
 neither marry nor are given in marriage.

00:01:00.460 --> 00:01:05.260
 For they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God,

00:01:05.459 --> 00:01:07.460
 being sons of the resurrection.

00:01:08.460 --> 00:01:13.439
 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed in the passage about the bush,

00:01:13.980 --> 00:01:19.319
 where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.

00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:24.779
 Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living.

00:01:25.639 --> 00:01:27.279
 For all live to him.

00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:30.199
 Then some of the scribes answered,

00:01:30.379 --> 00:01:32.239
 Teacher, you have spoken well.

00:01:33.739 --> 00:01:36.280
 For they no longer dare to ask him any question.

00:01:37.419 --> 00:01:38.359
 But he said to them,

00:01:38.459 --> 00:01:41.639
 How can they say that the Christ is David's son?

00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:45.519
 For David himself says in the book of Psalms,

00:01:46.019 --> 00:01:47.819
 The Lord said to my Lord,

00:01:48.019 --> 00:01:51.659
 Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.

00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:53.859
 David thus calls him Lord.

00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:55.700
 So how is he his son?

00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:59.379
 And in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,

00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:03.340
 Beware of the scribes who like to walk around in long rows

00:02:03.340 --> 00:02:07.060
 and love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues

00:02:07.060 --> 00:02:08.780
 and the places of honor at feasts,

00:02:08.780 --> 00:02:12.599
 who devour widows' houses and for pretense make long prayers.

00:02:13.140 --> 00:02:15.319
 They will receive the greater condemnation.

00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:20.199
 Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box,

00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.319
 and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins.

00:02:23.819 --> 00:02:24.500
 And he said,

00:02:24.740 --> 00:02:29.039
 Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them.

00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:31.879
 For they all contributed out of their abundance,

00:02:32.219 --> 00:02:36.259
 but she, out of her poverty, put in all she had to live on.

00:02:36.259 --> 00:02:39.699
 This is God's holy and authoritative word.

00:02:40.959 --> 00:02:47.039
 Jesus has been opposed steadfastly throughout his ministry by the Jewish leaders,

00:02:47.259 --> 00:02:50.539
 as we've been seeing in the Gospel of Luke.

00:02:50.979 --> 00:02:55.539
 The chief antagonists of Jesus have been the Pharisees and the scribes.

00:02:56.099 --> 00:02:59.579
 The Pharisees were those who sought to reform Jewish religious life.

00:02:59.699 --> 00:03:01.519
 Some of them were members of the Jewish clergy,

00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:03.359
 while others were members of the laity.

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:07.780
 The scribes were the Jewish legal scholars,

00:03:08.180 --> 00:03:13.780
 they were experts of Scripture that lent academic support to the Pharisees' reform agenda.

00:03:14.440 --> 00:03:17.180
 But as Jesus enters the capital, Jerusalem,

00:03:17.700 --> 00:03:19.360
 where the Jewish temple is,

00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.440
 the opposition to Jesus escalates.

00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:25.380
 And now, not just the Pharisees and the scribes,

00:03:25.440 --> 00:03:26.920
 but it says in 1947,

00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:31.459
 the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people

00:03:31.459 --> 00:03:34.060
 were seeking to destroy Jesus.

00:03:35.139 --> 00:03:38.239
 And since his entry to Jerusalem in chapter 19 and 20,

00:03:38.659 --> 00:03:43.060
 there have been rounds and rounds of stump the teacher.

00:03:43.519 --> 00:03:44.519
 I don't know if you guys have played that.

00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.280
 In chapter 20, verse 1 to 8,

00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:49.580
 the chief priests and the scribes with the elders

00:03:49.580 --> 00:03:52.939
 question Jesus' credentials by asking him,

00:03:53.340 --> 00:03:55.980
 tell us by what authority you do these things,

00:03:56.160 --> 00:03:58.140
 or who is it that gave you this authority?

00:03:58.300 --> 00:04:00.960
 Because we surely didn't give you this authority,

00:04:01.100 --> 00:04:02.620
 and we're the gatekeepers of the temple.

00:04:03.740 --> 00:04:05.580
 Let me see your warrant, your permit,

00:04:06.300 --> 00:04:08.240
 your certificate, your diploma.

00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:12.140
 And then in chapter 20, verses 19 to 26,

00:04:12.260 --> 00:04:15.320
 the scribes and the chief priests sent their spies

00:04:15.320 --> 00:04:20.259
 to pose Jesus a difficult political and religious question.

00:04:20.579 --> 00:04:23.319
 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar or not?

00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:25.400
 This was not a sincere question,

00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:27.139
 but rather intended to trap Jesus,

00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:28.600
 because if Jesus said,

00:04:28.780 --> 00:04:31.980
 yes, it is lawful to pay taxes to Caesar,

00:04:32.379 --> 00:04:35.600
 he'd be acknowledging Caesar's sovereignty and rule

00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:36.800
 over God's people,

00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:38.740
 and thereby disappoint the Jews

00:04:38.740 --> 00:04:41.120
 who were hoping that Jesus would be the messianic king.

00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:42.520
 If he were to say,

00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:45.259
 no, it is not lawful to pay taxes to Caesar,

00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.240
 then the spies would report him to the Roman authorities

00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:50.660
 and have him arrested as a tax evader

00:04:50.660 --> 00:04:51.819
 and a political revolutionary.

00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.120
 However, Jesus passed all of these rounds

00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:56.980
 of stump the teacher with flying colors.

00:04:57.280 --> 00:04:58.780
 He silenced all of his critics,

00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:02.139
 demonstrating his wisdom and authority.

00:05:02.740 --> 00:05:04.480
 And here in our passage,

00:05:04.620 --> 00:05:06.340
 chapter 20, verses 27 to 40,

00:05:06.339 --> 00:05:09.099
 we see the final round of stump the teacher,

00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.839
 where we are introduced to the Sadducees for the first time.

00:05:13.579 --> 00:05:14.500
 And once again,

00:05:14.699 --> 00:05:17.699
 Jesus will demonstrate his superior authority.

00:05:18.339 --> 00:05:20.560
 And the main point that we learn from this passage

00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:24.159
 is that only those who humbly follow the Lord Jesus

00:05:24.159 --> 00:05:27.639
 will become sons of the resurrection.

00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.180
 And Luke communicates this to us

00:05:30.180 --> 00:05:32.479
 by teaching us first about the God of the living,

00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:35.079
 and then about the Lord of David,

00:05:35.459 --> 00:05:37.919
 and then lastly about the sons of the resurrection.

00:05:38.479 --> 00:05:40.779
 So let's first learn about the God of the living

00:05:40.779 --> 00:05:42.879
 from Jesus' encounter with the Sadducees.

00:05:43.419 --> 00:05:45.459
 It says in chapter 20, verse 27,

00:05:45.459 --> 00:05:47.879
 there came to him some Sadducees,

00:05:48.219 --> 00:05:50.219
 those who deny that there is a resurrection.

00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:54.259
 The Sadducees were Jewish aristocrats,

00:05:54.819 --> 00:05:57.859
 and they denied the resurrection of the dead.

00:05:58.419 --> 00:06:00.359
 Most other Jews, including Pharisees,

00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:01.919
 believed in the resurrection of the dead,

00:06:02.019 --> 00:06:05.099
 but the Sadducees believed that both body and soul

00:06:05.099 --> 00:06:07.359
 ceased to exist after death.

00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:10.920
 And so they believed in what modern people

00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.620
 would call annihilation of the soul.

00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:18.080
 And the Sadducees differ from the Pharisees

00:06:18.080 --> 00:06:19.560
 on a number of other points as well.

00:06:20.220 --> 00:06:23.780
 The Pharisees wanted to reform Jewish religious life.

00:06:23.900 --> 00:06:26.040
 The Sadducees wanted to preserve the status quo.

00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:30.780
 The Pharisees supplemented the written scripture

00:06:30.780 --> 00:06:32.620
 with oral tradition,

00:06:33.460 --> 00:06:35.620
 the teachings that have been passed through orally

00:06:35.620 --> 00:06:37.000
 by the Jewish rabbis.

00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.680
 However, the Sadducees denied,

00:06:40.280 --> 00:06:41.819
 rejected oral tradition,

00:06:42.259 --> 00:06:44.759
 and only revered the written scripture.

00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:47.620
 And not even all of the Jewish scriptures,

00:06:47.860 --> 00:06:50.480
 they held the Torah, the law,

00:06:50.580 --> 00:06:54.120
 the first five books of our Old Testament.

00:06:54.520 --> 00:06:56.460
 They held that in the highest esteem.

00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:59.780
 So they were kind of the almost fundamentalistic,

00:06:59.980 --> 00:07:04.699
 most conservative Jewish sect in that time.

00:07:04.699 --> 00:07:06.020
 And not only that,

00:07:06.060 --> 00:07:06.699
 they're kind of rationalistic,

00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:09.540
 they not only denied the resurrection,

00:07:09.740 --> 00:07:11.680
 they also denied the existence of angels,

00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:14.439
 as we see in Luke 20, verse 36,

00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.040
 or in the book of Acts as well.

00:07:17.740 --> 00:07:19.780
 And the Sadducees, it says in verse 28,

00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:21.040
 asked Jesus a question,

00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:21.439
 saying,

00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:21.920
 Teacher,

00:07:22.580 --> 00:07:23.740
 Moses wrote for us

00:07:23.740 --> 00:07:25.180
 that if a man's brother dies,

00:07:25.259 --> 00:07:26.620
 having a wife but no children,

00:07:27.020 --> 00:07:28.400
 the man must take the widow

00:07:28.400 --> 00:07:30.240
 and raise up offspring for his brother.

00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:34.560
 They're alluding to passages like Deuteronomy chapter 25,

00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:39.180
 which stipulates levirate marriage.

00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:45.360
 The levirate marriage is where if a man dies without a son to carry on his name,

00:07:45.620 --> 00:07:53.079
 it was his brother's duty to produce a son for him by taking his widow as his wife.

00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:55.459
 This was important in Israel,

00:07:55.599 --> 00:07:56.959
 among the Jews in particular,

00:07:57.099 --> 00:08:03.319
 because their inheritance in God's promised land was tied to their genealogy.

00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:08.539
 And so if their descendants ceased,

00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:13.819
 they would effectively be cut off and permanently removed from their inheritance in God's kingdom,

00:08:13.919 --> 00:08:14.659
 in the promised land.

00:08:14.660 --> 00:08:17.540
 And so they practiced levirate marriage.

00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:21.260
 And the Sadducees, their argument here uses that as the premise.

00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.420
 And then they construct a hypothetical scenario for Jesus in verses 29 to 33,

00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:32.080
 with having seven brothers and one of them taking a wife,

00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:33.920
 but he dies without children,

00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:37.120
 and then marries the next brother and the next and the next and the next,

00:08:37.460 --> 00:08:40.340
 until all seven have had this woman as their wife,

00:08:40.460 --> 00:08:41.360
 lawfully wedded wife,

00:08:41.779 --> 00:08:43.480
 and have produced no children.

00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:47.000
 Obviously, they've given this question a lot of thought.

00:08:48.019 --> 00:08:54.740
 And to them, this hypothetical scenario reduces the doctrine of the resurrection to absurdity.

00:08:55.600 --> 00:09:01.120
 Because we know from Scripture that marriage is between one man and one woman.

00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:03.779
 It says in Genesis 2, verse 24,

00:09:03.980 --> 00:09:08.759
 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife,

00:09:08.940 --> 00:09:10.360
 and they shall become one flesh.

00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:16.700
 But this woman was legally married to seven different men during her lifetime.

00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:21.899
 So in the resurrection, then, will God allow her to be married to seven husbands,

00:09:22.560 --> 00:09:26.399
 despite his revealed will, God's revealed will,

00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:28.480
 that marriage be between one man and one woman?

00:09:28.700 --> 00:09:29.440
 That's absurd.

00:09:30.379 --> 00:09:31.960
 At least that's what the Sadducees thought.

00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:36.019
 But they're unaware of their own erroneous assumptions.

00:09:36.019 --> 00:09:42.659
 They assume that legally formed marriages in this life would continue in the afterlife.

00:09:43.439 --> 00:09:47.460
 They assume that there is such a thing as marriage in the first place in heaven,

00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:52.679
 assuming that life in the resurrection is essentially the same as life here on earth,

00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:55.019
 in the present earth.

00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:58.199
 But they were wrong in all of these assumptions.

00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:02.600
 And many people, I think, nowadays are like the Sadducees also.

00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.700
 When the teachings of Scripture confound our reason,

00:10:09.020 --> 00:10:14.560
 when it seems difficult to us, doesn't make sense to us, doesn't seem reasonable to us,

00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:19.160
 we, instead of submitting humbly to God's Word,

00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:21.660
 instead we question the truthfulness of God's Word.

00:10:22.460 --> 00:10:26.980
 We question the soundness of God's Word instead of questioning the soundness of our reasoning.

00:10:26.980 --> 00:10:32.480
 And then some people try to finagle God's Word to say what they think it should say,

00:10:33.100 --> 00:10:36.639
 instead of submitting to God's Word and conforming their lives to it.

00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:43.680
 And Jesus exposes this about the Sadducees, their faulty assumptions, in verses 34 and 36.

00:10:43.980 --> 00:10:47.460
 The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

00:10:47.700 --> 00:10:52.560
 But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead,

00:10:53.100 --> 00:10:55.320
 neither marry nor are given in marriage.

00:10:55.320 --> 00:11:00.520
 For they cannot die anymore because they are equal to angels and are sons of God,

00:11:00.620 --> 00:11:03.100
 being sons of the resurrection.

00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:10.900
 So Jesus' point here is that this life and the resurrection life are not the same.

00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:14.280
 Marriage doesn't even exist in the resurrection

00:11:14.280 --> 00:11:19.320
 because the sons of the resurrection are equal to angels and are sons of God.

00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.980
 So notice that he's challenging here.

00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:25.320
 Not only do the Sadducees believe that there is no resurrection,

00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:28.120
 but also do they believe that there are no angels.

00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:31.020
 He's saying that you're wrong on both of those counts.

00:11:31.100 --> 00:11:32.280
 There are angels in heaven,

00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:35.300
 and in fact the sons of the resurrection will be like the angels,

00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:38.160
 and they will neither be married nor be given in marriage.

00:11:39.580 --> 00:11:43.280
 Now this is not saying that we become angels when we die,

00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:45.520
 as some people, I think, wrongly think.

00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:46.460
 It doesn't say that.

00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:47.919
 It says we become like them.

00:11:48.199 --> 00:11:49.279
 We become equal to them.

00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:51.699
 And the phrase,

00:11:52.500 --> 00:11:56.939
 and so because the sons of the resurrection will be like the angels of heaven,

00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:59.620
 there will be no more death.

00:12:00.539 --> 00:12:03.360
 And this is another reason why there is no marriage in heaven.

00:12:04.019 --> 00:12:05.220
 Jesus says in verse 36,

00:12:05.220 --> 00:12:07.180
 that marriage will no longer be necessary,

00:12:07.779 --> 00:12:11.120
 for they cannot die anymore.

00:12:12.160 --> 00:12:17.820
 This reveals that at least one of the purposes of marriage is procreation.

00:12:19.820 --> 00:12:23.620
 Marriage exists in part to perpetuate humanity.

00:12:24.259 --> 00:12:28.639
 It exists to ensure that people who are created in God's image

00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:32.320
 continue to populate the earth and bring glory to Him.

00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:34.800
 But in the absence of death,

00:12:35.280 --> 00:12:36.980
 there is no more need for progeny,

00:12:37.160 --> 00:12:38.580
 for sons, for fathers.

00:12:39.500 --> 00:12:41.780
 Instead, there is one Father in heaven,

00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:43.760
 that's God the Father and all of His children.

00:12:45.140 --> 00:12:48.879
 We find another purpose of marriage in other passages of Scripture,

00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:51.720
 and it says in Ephesians 5, verse 31,

00:12:51.860 --> 00:12:55.820
 that a man and a woman join together in marriage through self-giving love.

00:12:55.920 --> 00:13:00.160
 They point to the real, eternal, spiritual union

00:13:00.160 --> 00:13:01.820
 between Christ and the church.

00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:05.840
 And that reveals God's intention for humanity.

00:13:06.060 --> 00:13:08.260
 God's intention from the beginning of creation

00:13:08.260 --> 00:13:11.960
 was to marry a people that He chose for Himself,

00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:14.840
 to be their eternal bridegroom,

00:13:15.040 --> 00:13:16.900
 and for the church to be His holy bride.

00:13:17.740 --> 00:13:20.320
 And so marriage was created by God

00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:22.100
 to be a picture of that reality,

00:13:22.260 --> 00:13:24.660
 to foreshadow that eternal reality.

00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:27.740
 But in the kingdom of God,

00:13:27.800 --> 00:13:28.780
 the fullness of God's kingdom,

00:13:28.779 --> 00:13:29.939
 in the resurrection,

00:13:30.319 --> 00:13:33.360
 there will no longer be need for these pictures,

00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:35.819
 because the reality will be present.

00:13:36.299 --> 00:13:38.240
 Because our relationship with Christ

00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:39.679
 will have been consummated.

00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:44.139
 There will no longer be any need for brides and grooms,

00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:46.419
 because Christ will be the one bridegroom,

00:13:46.740 --> 00:13:48.159
 and the church will be His bride.

00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:51.500
 So the resurrection, Jesus is saying,

00:13:51.839 --> 00:13:53.939
 is an altogether different age.

00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:56.199
 That's why the Sadducees' objection,

00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.139
 their hypothetical scenario, doesn't hold.

00:13:59.019 --> 00:14:02.439
 The woman who had had seven husbands in this life on earth

00:14:02.439 --> 00:14:04.879
 will not have to worry about how many husbands she has.

00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:06.179
 She will have none.

00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:08.159
 She will be part of the church

00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:09.819
 and be the bride of Christ.

00:14:09.820 --> 00:14:12.440
 But notice that Jesus says

00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:15.980
 that not everyone will get to partake in this age

00:14:15.980 --> 00:14:16.780
 and in the resurrection.

00:14:17.420 --> 00:14:18.600
 He says in verse 35,

00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:22.620
 But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age

00:14:22.620 --> 00:14:25.120
 and to the resurrection from the dead,

00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:32.000
 only those who are worthy to attain to that age will do so.

00:14:32.540 --> 00:14:34.560
 This actually gives us a clue

00:14:34.560 --> 00:14:38.020
 as to what exactly Jesus means by the resurrection.

00:14:38.019 --> 00:14:41.399
 We know from other passages of Scripture

00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:45.079
 that in fact, all people, including good,

00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:46.860
 those who do good and those who do evil,

00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:47.860
 will be resurrected.

00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.559
 For example, John chapter 5, verses 28 to 29 says this,

00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:57.179
 An hour is coming when all who are in the tombs

00:14:57.179 --> 00:14:58.960
 will hear His voice and come out.

00:14:59.419 --> 00:15:02.100
 Those who have done good to the resurrection of life

00:15:02.100 --> 00:15:05.139
 and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

00:15:05.299 --> 00:15:07.220
 So we know from other parts of Scripture

00:15:07.220 --> 00:15:09.399
 that all people will be raised.

00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:10.519
 They'll be resurrected.

00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:11.899
 Evil and good.

00:15:12.220 --> 00:15:13.639
 Good people to the resurrection of life,

00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:14.680
 those who belong to God

00:15:14.680 --> 00:15:16.019
 and those who have done evil

00:15:16.019 --> 00:15:18.019
 and have refused to believe in God,

00:15:18.420 --> 00:15:20.680
 will be raised to the resurrection of judgment.

00:15:21.860 --> 00:15:24.100
 So, but this is different

00:15:24.100 --> 00:15:26.540
 from the kind of resurrection that Jesus is talking about.

00:15:26.540 --> 00:15:28.360
 We know that because in John 5,

00:15:28.460 --> 00:15:30.920
 Jesus mentions people being raised from the tomb.

00:15:31.560 --> 00:15:33.820
 He's talking about the resurrection of the body,

00:15:33.820 --> 00:15:37.160
 which Paul also talks about in 1 Corinthians 15.

00:15:37.940 --> 00:15:40.320
 But before the resurrection of the body,

00:15:40.820 --> 00:15:44.200
 there is for believers what we call the intermediate state.

00:15:44.580 --> 00:15:47.379
 When our souls leave our deceased bodies

00:15:47.379 --> 00:15:49.600
 and we're raised to be with the Lord.

00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.240
 That raising, that resurrection,

00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:55.000
 seems to be what Jesus has in mind here.

00:15:55.040 --> 00:15:57.760
 And we see examples of that in 2 Corinthians 5, 6, 8,

00:15:57.759 --> 00:15:59.059
 where Paul says,

00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:01.319
 we know that while we are at home in the body,

00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:03.059
 we are away from the Lord.

00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:05.279
 For we walk by faith and not by sight.

00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:07.200
 Yes, we are of good courage

00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:09.200
 and we would rather be away from the body

00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:10.319
 and at home with the Lord.

00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:12.319
 So there's that intermediate state

00:16:12.319 --> 00:16:14.279
 before the final resurrection of the body,

00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:16.000
 when believers who have passed

00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:19.139
 are raised to live eternally in their souls with God.

00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:22.799
 That seems to be what Jesus has in mind here.

00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:26.659
 And only those whom God considers worthy

00:16:26.659 --> 00:16:28.399
 will attend to that resurrection.

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:33.839
 So then, speaking of the resurrection of the soul,

00:16:34.379 --> 00:16:34.740
 in a way,

00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:37.259
 and that's what he spoke of earlier in Luke 16,

00:16:37.839 --> 00:16:40.959
 when a poor man named Lazarus dies

00:16:40.959 --> 00:16:43.879
 and then is carried by the angels to Abraham's side.

00:16:44.059 --> 00:16:45.639
 That's his raise to that life.

00:16:46.179 --> 00:16:47.939
 But the wicked rich man, in contrast,

00:16:48.139 --> 00:16:49.099
 in that same parable,

00:16:49.699 --> 00:16:52.099
 he dies and he was buried

00:16:52.100 --> 00:16:54.180
 and he remains in Hades,

00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:55.259
 in the realm of the dead.

00:16:55.379 --> 00:16:56.920
 He's not escorted by the angels

00:16:56.920 --> 00:16:58.899
 to raise to that resurrection life.

00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:02.300
 And so Jesus is challenging here

00:17:02.300 --> 00:17:03.560
 the Sadducees' belief

00:17:03.560 --> 00:17:05.480
 that death is the end of all existence.

00:17:06.259 --> 00:17:07.740
 There is life after death

00:17:07.740 --> 00:17:09.640
 and only those who are worthy

00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:11.660
 will be raised to heaven.

00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:14.640
 And then having stated his point,

00:17:14.779 --> 00:17:17.039
 Jesus proves it from Scripture

00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:18.680
 in verses 37 to 38.

00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:20.559
 But that the dead are raised,

00:17:20.660 --> 00:17:21.819
 even Moses showed,

00:17:22.099 --> 00:17:23.480
 in the passage about the bush,

00:17:23.919 --> 00:17:25.079
 where he calls the Lord

00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:26.099
 the God of Abraham

00:17:26.099 --> 00:17:27.319
 and the God of Isaac

00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:28.480
 and the God of Jacob.

00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:31.119
 Now he is not God of the dead,

00:17:31.259 --> 00:17:32.279
 but of the living,

00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:33.819
 for all live to him.

00:17:35.179 --> 00:17:37.879
 Jesus could have gone to a number of other

00:17:37.879 --> 00:17:39.159
 more obvious passages

00:17:39.159 --> 00:17:41.259
 that speak of this afterlife,

00:17:41.439 --> 00:17:42.059
 of the resurrection.

00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:44.919
 But Jesus goes here intentionally

00:17:44.919 --> 00:17:47.079
 to Exodus 3, verse 6,

00:17:47.459 --> 00:17:49.159
 because he knows that the Sadducees

00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:50.220
 hold the Torah,

00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:51.940
 the first five books of the Bible,

00:17:51.940 --> 00:17:53.820
 in highest esteem.

00:17:54.340 --> 00:17:56.000
 Jesus knows that this will be

00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:57.360
 the most persuasive for them.

00:17:57.980 --> 00:17:59.240
 And in that passage,

00:17:59.660 --> 00:18:02.519
 Moses encounters God in the burning bush,

00:18:02.980 --> 00:18:05.140
 and God says to Moses,

00:18:05.140 --> 00:18:08.620
 I am the God of your father,

00:18:08.620 --> 00:18:10.120
 the God of Abraham,

00:18:10.620 --> 00:18:11.860
 the God of Isaac,

00:18:12.020 --> 00:18:13.420
 and the God of Jacob.

00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:16.420
 And this is hundreds of years after

00:18:16.420 --> 00:18:18.460
 Abraham, Isaac, Jacob

00:18:18.460 --> 00:18:19.980
 have all passed away.

00:18:20.500 --> 00:18:22.340
 And yet God says to Moses,

00:18:22.600 --> 00:18:23.880
 in the present tense,

00:18:24.500 --> 00:18:27.400
 I am the God of your father,

00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:28.420
 the God of Abraham,

00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:29.600
 the God of Isaac,

00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:30.540
 and the God of Jacob.

00:18:30.539 --> 00:18:34.399
 My grandfather passed away

00:18:34.399 --> 00:18:35.799
 almost two decades ago.

00:18:36.539 --> 00:18:38.639
 If one of his former friends

00:18:38.639 --> 00:18:39.799
 were to approach me

00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:41.399
 and introduce himself to me,

00:18:41.500 --> 00:18:42.259
 he would say,

00:18:42.940 --> 00:18:44.859
 I was your grandfather's friend.

00:18:45.339 --> 00:18:45.420
 Right?

00:18:45.859 --> 00:18:46.839
 He wouldn't say,

00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.740
 I am your grandfather's friend.

00:18:50.379 --> 00:18:51.440
 If he did, I'd be like,

00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:52.039
 what do you mean?

00:18:52.819 --> 00:18:53.399
 Are we talking about

00:18:53.399 --> 00:18:54.139
 the same grandfather?

00:18:55.819 --> 00:18:57.180
 But God said to Moses,

00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:00.019
 I am the God of your father.

00:19:00.539 --> 00:19:02.299
 He declared himself to be

00:19:02.299 --> 00:19:03.759
 the God of the patriarchs

00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:04.559
 who were long dead,

00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:06.379
 three generations of them.

00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:08.279
 And this is implicit proof

00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:09.899
 of the reality of the resurrection.

00:19:10.339 --> 00:19:11.539
 If they were not living,

00:19:11.659 --> 00:19:12.980
 God would not say this.

00:19:13.539 --> 00:19:15.220
 So Jesus explains in verse 38,

00:19:15.379 --> 00:19:17.659
 Now he is not God of the dead,

00:19:18.019 --> 00:19:19.259
 but of the living,

00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:21.440
 for all live to him.

00:19:22.139 --> 00:19:24.000
 Though Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:25.379
 were dead to Moses,

00:19:26.139 --> 00:19:27.859
 they were alive to God,

00:19:27.859 --> 00:19:29.539
 for their souls were raised

00:19:29.539 --> 00:19:31.000
 to dwell with him.

00:19:31.679 --> 00:19:34.039
 They died without having seen

00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:36.699
 the ultimate promises of God fulfilled.

00:19:37.459 --> 00:19:38.939
 And if they were dead

00:19:38.939 --> 00:19:40.099
 and they ceased to exist,

00:19:40.219 --> 00:19:41.539
 then God would have failed

00:19:41.539 --> 00:19:43.379
 in his promises to them.

00:19:43.719 --> 00:19:44.679
 But he's saying here,

00:19:44.719 --> 00:19:46.240
 he's protecting God's honor.

00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:48.740
 No, God did not fail in his promises.

00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:50.939
 He kept his covenant promises

00:19:50.939 --> 00:19:52.699
 to Abraham, Jacob,

00:19:52.700 --> 00:19:54.380
 and Isaac and Jacob

00:19:54.380 --> 00:19:55.840
 because they are living,

00:19:56.140 --> 00:19:57.160
 they are experiencing

00:19:57.160 --> 00:19:58.680
 the fulfillment of God's promises

00:19:58.680 --> 00:19:59.480
 in life.

00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:01.819
 So the Sadducees

00:20:01.819 --> 00:20:03.039
 were very mistaken.

00:20:03.180 --> 00:20:04.160
 Heaven is a reality.

00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:06.380
 By denying the resurrection

00:20:06.380 --> 00:20:07.340
 and denying existence

00:20:07.340 --> 00:20:08.660
 of life everlasting,

00:20:08.860 --> 00:20:10.480
 they were really cutting the cord

00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:12.100
 of the hope

00:20:12.100 --> 00:20:14.279
 that God offered to his people.

00:20:15.580 --> 00:20:16.980
 Think about it this way.

00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:18.840
 All the disappointments,

00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:21.960
 the dead dreams of your life,

00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:25.819
 all of your mistakes,

00:20:26.980 --> 00:20:28.880
 all your misfortunes in life,

00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:31.680
 all the travails,

00:20:31.819 --> 00:20:33.279
 the tribulations of life,

00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:36.259
 all that the people of this world

00:20:36.259 --> 00:20:37.400
 say about you,

00:20:37.860 --> 00:20:39.000
 all that is written

00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:40.039
 in your obituary,

00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:43.819
 they are not the final word

00:20:43.819 --> 00:20:45.100
 on your life.

00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:48.360
 Because if you belong to Jesus,

00:20:49.180 --> 00:20:51.440
 death is not the final chapter

00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:52.080
 of your life.

00:20:53.580 --> 00:20:54.900
 There is life everlasting.

00:20:55.940 --> 00:20:56.920
 There is resurrection.

00:20:58.539 --> 00:21:00.299
 The God you serve

00:21:00.299 --> 00:21:01.039
 and worship

00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:03.360
 is not the God of the dead.

00:21:03.700 --> 00:21:05.700
 He is the God of the living.

00:21:06.340 --> 00:21:07.640
 That gives us so much hope.

00:21:08.900 --> 00:21:10.360
 This life is not all there is.

00:21:12.299 --> 00:21:13.880
 And after this compelling response,

00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:15.539
 it says in verses 39 and 40

00:21:15.539 --> 00:21:17.120
 that some of the scribes answered,

00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:19.059
 Teacher, you have spoken well,

00:21:19.059 --> 00:21:20.799
 for they no longer

00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:22.159
 are the ones that asked the question.

00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:25.740
 Notice who the subjects

00:21:25.740 --> 00:21:26.960
 of these verses are.

00:21:27.659 --> 00:21:29.119
 It was not the Sadducees

00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:30.839
 who complimented Jesus

00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:31.819
 for a good answer.

00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:32.759
 They are the ones

00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:33.480
 that asked the question.

00:21:34.099 --> 00:21:35.299
 It is the scribes

00:21:35.299 --> 00:21:36.720
 who, like the Pharisees,

00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:38.139
 believed in the resurrection.

00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:39.899
 They are the ones

00:21:39.899 --> 00:21:41.099
 that are complimenting Jesus.

00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:42.159
 So they are kind of,

00:21:42.159 --> 00:21:43.859
 they are a little bit giddy

00:21:43.859 --> 00:21:45.079
 that Jesus just kind of

00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:47.159
 trounced these rivals of theirs,

00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:48.420
 theological rivals of theirs.

00:21:48.500 --> 00:21:49.120
 Oh, Jesus,

00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:50.180
 for the first time

00:21:50.180 --> 00:21:51.340
 you are saying something I like.

00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:53.759
 You just silenced my rivals.

00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:55.880
 And so they think

00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:56.860
 they have scored a victory

00:21:56.860 --> 00:21:58.279
 against the Sadducees.

00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:00.340
 And it says in verse 40,

00:22:00.540 --> 00:22:01.140
 generally,

00:22:01.320 --> 00:22:01.880
 that they,

00:22:02.080 --> 00:22:02.800
 probably referring to

00:22:02.800 --> 00:22:03.980
 all the different factions

00:22:03.980 --> 00:22:05.019
 that have come to question

00:22:05.019 --> 00:22:06.060
 Jesus up to this point,

00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:07.840
 that includes the chiefs,

00:22:07.840 --> 00:22:09.680
 the Jewish nationalists,

00:22:09.779 --> 00:22:10.340
 the Pharisees,

00:22:10.420 --> 00:22:11.040
 the Sadducees,

00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:12.640
 all of them have failed

00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:13.580
 to stump Jesus.

00:22:13.579 --> 00:22:15.019
 And now they all

00:22:15.019 --> 00:22:16.079
 no longer dare

00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:18.379
 to ask him questions,

00:22:18.659 --> 00:22:19.379
 any question.

00:22:20.220 --> 00:22:21.259
 So Luke's point

00:22:21.259 --> 00:22:23.000
 in this narrative is clear.

00:22:23.699 --> 00:22:25.539
 Who is the authoritative

00:22:25.539 --> 00:22:27.359
 teacher of God's truth?

00:22:28.339 --> 00:22:29.819
 Not the Pharisees,

00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:31.220
 not the Sadducees,

00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:32.099
 not the scribes,

00:22:32.159 --> 00:22:33.039
 not the chief priests,

00:22:33.139 --> 00:22:33.899
 not the elders.

00:22:34.460 --> 00:22:34.980
 Jesus,

00:22:35.539 --> 00:22:37.119
 he is the true

00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:38.759
 divine representative.

00:22:39.299 --> 00:22:41.059
 He possesses God's wisdom

00:22:41.059 --> 00:22:41.659
 and authority.

00:22:41.660 --> 00:22:43.100
 And he's the one

00:22:43.100 --> 00:22:44.220
 that you all

00:22:44.220 --> 00:22:45.080
 should listen to

00:22:45.080 --> 00:22:45.820
 and follow.

00:22:45.940 --> 00:22:47.200
 That's Luke's point.

00:22:48.860 --> 00:22:49.840
 God of the living.

00:22:51.700 --> 00:22:52.759
 And then now the narrative

00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:53.279
 at this point

00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:54.600
 shifts naturally

00:22:54.600 --> 00:22:56.259
 to the identity of Jesus.

00:22:56.820 --> 00:22:58.180
 If he is so authoritative,

00:22:58.300 --> 00:22:59.240
 who is this person?

00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:01.759
 So we get to

00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:02.600
 the Lord of David

00:23:02.600 --> 00:23:04.440
 in verse 41 to 44

00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:05.140
 of chapter 20.

00:23:05.940 --> 00:23:07.040
 Jesus addresses

00:23:07.040 --> 00:23:07.880
 the people around him

00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:09.180
 in verses 41 to 44.

00:23:09.540 --> 00:23:10.840
 How can they say

00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:13.099
 that the Christ

00:23:13.099 --> 00:23:14.159
 is David's son?

00:23:16.099 --> 00:23:17.339
 For David himself

00:23:17.339 --> 00:23:18.759
 says in the book of Psalms,

00:23:19.500 --> 00:23:20.379
 the Lord said

00:23:20.379 --> 00:23:21.159
 to my Lord,

00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:22.980
 sit at my right hand

00:23:22.980 --> 00:23:24.220
 until I make

00:23:24.220 --> 00:23:24.759
 your enemies

00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:25.619
 your footstool.

00:23:26.859 --> 00:23:27.980
 David thus calls him

00:23:27.980 --> 00:23:28.419
 Lord.

00:23:29.139 --> 00:23:30.439
 So how is he

00:23:30.439 --> 00:23:31.799
 his son?

00:23:32.859 --> 00:23:34.099
 It was widely known

00:23:34.099 --> 00:23:34.819
 among the Jews

00:23:34.819 --> 00:23:36.279
 that the Messianic king

00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:36.759
 would come

00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:37.779
 to save God's people

00:23:37.779 --> 00:23:38.579
 and that he would

00:23:38.579 --> 00:23:40.079
 come from the line

00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:40.879
 of David,

00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:41.639
 King David,

00:23:41.980 --> 00:23:43.339
 because that was prophesied

00:23:43.339 --> 00:23:45.000
 in 2 Samuel chapter 7

00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:46.200
 verses 12 to 14.

00:23:47.379 --> 00:23:49.000
 And Luke himself

00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:50.039
 acknowledges this

00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:51.420
 because he said

00:23:51.420 --> 00:23:52.460
 in chapter 1

00:23:52.460 --> 00:23:53.779
 verse 27

00:23:53.779 --> 00:23:55.099
 that he explicitly

00:23:55.099 --> 00:23:55.680
 mentioned that

00:23:55.680 --> 00:23:57.119
 Jesus' genealogy

00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:58.039
 through his father Joseph

00:23:58.039 --> 00:23:58.980
 goes to King David.

00:23:59.639 --> 00:24:00.259
 And he said,

00:24:00.420 --> 00:24:01.639
 and the angel Gabriel

00:24:01.639 --> 00:24:02.259
 who came to

00:24:02.259 --> 00:24:03.920
 announce Jesus' birth

00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:05.039
 and his conception

00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:06.159
 in Mary's womb

00:24:06.159 --> 00:24:07.180
 in chapter 1

00:24:07.180 --> 00:24:08.399
 verses 31 to 33

00:24:08.399 --> 00:24:09.099
 said this,

00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:10.440
 he will be great

00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:11.319
 and will be called

00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:12.779
 the son of the Most High

00:24:12.779 --> 00:24:14.000
 and the Lord God

00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:15.159
 will give to him

00:24:15.159 --> 00:24:16.899
 the throne of his father

00:24:16.899 --> 00:24:17.639
 David

00:24:17.639 --> 00:24:19.220
 and he will reign

00:24:19.220 --> 00:24:19.819
 over the house

00:24:19.819 --> 00:24:20.619
 of Jacob forever

00:24:20.619 --> 00:24:21.480
 and of his kingdom

00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:22.299
 there will be no end.

00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:23.839
 So this was explicitly

00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:25.119
 promised

00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:26.319
 in the angel's

00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:26.740
 announcements

00:24:26.740 --> 00:24:28.339
 in Luke chapter 1.

00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:30.599
 You're denying

00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:31.240
 the fact

00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:32.299
 that he is

00:24:32.299 --> 00:24:33.240
 the son of David.

00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:35.120
 He is the promised

00:24:35.120 --> 00:24:35.880
 son of David.

00:24:36.099 --> 00:24:37.380
 He's the messianic king

00:24:37.380 --> 00:24:38.140
 but he's trying

00:24:38.140 --> 00:24:38.799
 to make the point

00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:39.660
 that he is much

00:24:39.660 --> 00:24:40.620
 more than that.

00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:42.220
 He's no mere

00:24:42.220 --> 00:24:43.339
 mortal king.

00:24:43.740 --> 00:24:44.519
 He's not merely

00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:45.500
 a biological

00:24:45.500 --> 00:24:46.460
 descendant of David.

00:24:46.859 --> 00:24:47.960
 He is the son

00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:50.120
 of the Most High God.

00:24:51.339 --> 00:24:52.240
 That's what he's

00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:53.240
 trying to prove here

00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:54.279
 by quoting from

00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:55.240
 Psalm 110

00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:57.380
 Psalm 110 verse 1

00:24:57.380 --> 00:24:59.420
 which is explicitly

00:24:59.420 --> 00:25:00.660
 ascribed to David.

00:25:01.400 --> 00:25:02.299
 David's the author

00:25:02.299 --> 00:25:02.880
 of the psalm.

00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:03.880
 And yet

00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:05.839
 this king of Israel

00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:07.980
 prophetically describes

00:25:07.980 --> 00:25:09.140
 an enthronement

00:25:09.140 --> 00:25:09.519
 scene

00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:10.559
 where a king

00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:11.299
 is being enthroned

00:25:11.299 --> 00:25:11.940
 by God.

00:25:12.700 --> 00:25:13.359
 It says

00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:14.079
 the Lord

00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:15.240
 and this is the proper

00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:15.920
 name of God

00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:16.559
 Yehovah

00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:17.799
 the Lord

00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:19.839
 says to my Lord

00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:20.740
 this is referring

00:25:20.740 --> 00:25:21.759
 to a human king

00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:24.099
 sit at my right hand

00:25:24.099 --> 00:25:25.519
 until I make

00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:26.400
 your enemies

00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:27.799
 your footstool.

00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:31.039
 this is a picture

00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:31.500
 of God

00:25:31.500 --> 00:25:32.359
 appointing someone

00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:32.960
 who will rule

00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:33.680
 over his people

00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:34.659
 as his representative

00:25:34.659 --> 00:25:37.759
 and this king

00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:38.319
 will reign

00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:39.220
 until God

00:25:39.220 --> 00:25:39.599
 himself

00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:40.399
 reduces all

00:25:40.399 --> 00:25:40.960
 of his enemies

00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:42.119
 to become

00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:42.980
 his footstool.

00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:45.180
 Now with that

00:25:45.180 --> 00:25:45.960
 background in mind

00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:46.819
 Jesus' logic

00:25:46.819 --> 00:25:47.279
 is fairly

00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:47.940
 straightforward.

00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:48.940
 If David

00:25:48.940 --> 00:25:50.500
 the king

00:25:50.500 --> 00:25:51.919
 perhaps the

00:25:51.919 --> 00:25:52.700
 greatest king

00:25:52.700 --> 00:25:53.740
 in Israel's history

00:25:53.740 --> 00:25:55.960
 the forefather

00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:56.680
 of the Messiah

00:25:56.680 --> 00:25:58.380
 if he calls

00:25:58.380 --> 00:25:59.859
 this messianic king

00:25:59.859 --> 00:26:00.720
 Lord

00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:02.079
 Master

00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:04.339
 then he must be

00:26:04.339 --> 00:26:05.099
 greater than David.

00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:07.120
 He must be

00:26:07.120 --> 00:26:08.099
 more than a simple

00:26:08.099 --> 00:26:08.859
 earthly king

00:26:08.859 --> 00:26:11.039
 because if he's

00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:11.839
 simply a human

00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:12.819
 royal descendant

00:26:12.819 --> 00:26:13.279
 of David

00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:14.220
 David would

00:26:14.220 --> 00:26:14.460
 never

00:26:14.460 --> 00:26:16.799
 humble

00:26:16.799 --> 00:26:17.299
 and lower

00:26:17.299 --> 00:26:17.740
 himself

00:26:17.740 --> 00:26:18.319
 to calling

00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:19.960
 his predecessor

00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:21.319
 Lord.

00:26:23.740 --> 00:26:25.519
 Jesus is

00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:26.500
 not just

00:26:26.500 --> 00:26:27.140
 another David

00:26:27.140 --> 00:26:27.920
 he is

00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:28.500
 the greater

00:26:28.500 --> 00:26:28.839
 David

00:26:28.839 --> 00:26:30.319
 the ultimate

00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:30.759
 David

00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:31.880
 the ultimate

00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:32.680
 messianic king

00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:33.440
 that all the

00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:34.279
 kings of Israel

00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:35.400
 had pointed to

00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:36.180
 and foreshadowed

00:26:36.180 --> 00:26:36.539
 he's the

00:26:36.539 --> 00:26:37.680
 fulfillment of

00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:38.480
 all of the

00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:39.500
 the royal

00:26:39.500 --> 00:26:40.220
 promises

00:26:40.220 --> 00:26:41.339
 the prophecies

00:26:41.339 --> 00:26:42.059
 of that

00:26:42.059 --> 00:26:42.500
 that God

00:26:42.500 --> 00:26:43.019
 had given

00:26:43.019 --> 00:26:44.640
 and throughout

00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:45.660
 chapters 19

00:26:45.660 --> 00:26:46.259
 to 20

00:26:46.259 --> 00:26:46.900
 the factions

00:26:46.900 --> 00:26:47.420
 questioning

00:26:47.420 --> 00:26:47.980
 and challenging

00:26:47.980 --> 00:26:48.420
 Jesus

00:26:48.420 --> 00:26:49.000
 have all

00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:49.900
 referred to

00:26:49.900 --> 00:26:50.259
 Jesus

00:26:50.259 --> 00:26:50.779
 as

00:26:50.779 --> 00:26:51.700
 teacher

00:26:51.700 --> 00:26:53.500
 but Jesus

00:26:53.500 --> 00:26:54.019
 is not

00:26:54.019 --> 00:26:54.480
 a teacher

00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:55.099
 like them

00:26:55.099 --> 00:26:55.720
 he's not

00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:56.359
 just one

00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:56.859
 of many

00:26:56.859 --> 00:26:57.900
 Jewish rabbis

00:26:57.900 --> 00:26:58.539
 he's the

00:26:58.539 --> 00:26:59.119
 teacher

00:26:59.119 --> 00:26:59.940
 the teacher

00:26:59.940 --> 00:27:00.400
 of God's

00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:00.619
 way

00:27:00.619 --> 00:27:01.619
 and in

00:27:01.619 --> 00:27:02.380
 chapter 19

00:27:02.380 --> 00:27:03.119
 verse 38

00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:03.740
 Jesus'

00:27:03.940 --> 00:27:04.759
 own disciples

00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:05.759
 hail Jesus

00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:06.799
 as king

00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:07.819
 but Jesus

00:27:07.819 --> 00:27:08.400
 is not

00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:10.460
 like the

00:27:10.460 --> 00:27:10.980
 Israelite

00:27:10.980 --> 00:27:11.420
 kings of

00:27:11.420 --> 00:27:11.740
 old

00:27:11.740 --> 00:27:12.480
 he is

00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:13.079
 the king

00:27:13.079 --> 00:27:13.680
 of kings

00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:14.339
 he is

00:27:14.339 --> 00:27:14.900
 the lord

00:27:14.900 --> 00:27:15.759
 of David

00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:16.680
 himself

00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:18.180
 more authoritative

00:27:18.180 --> 00:27:18.680
 than them

00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:20.160
 more powerful

00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:20.740
 than them

00:27:20.740 --> 00:27:22.980
 more faithful

00:27:22.980 --> 00:27:23.559
 than them

00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:26.759
 my question

00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:27.120
 to you

00:27:27.120 --> 00:27:27.700
 is do you

00:27:27.700 --> 00:27:28.460
 have a

00:27:28.460 --> 00:27:28.839
 proper

00:27:28.839 --> 00:27:29.380
 understanding

00:27:29.380 --> 00:27:29.859
 of who

00:27:29.859 --> 00:27:30.200
 Jesus

00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:30.680
 is

00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:32.859
 and have

00:27:32.859 --> 00:27:33.599
 you pledged

00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:34.359
 your ultimate

00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:34.859
 allegiance

00:27:34.859 --> 00:27:35.460
 to him

00:27:35.460 --> 00:27:38.099
 he claims

00:27:38.099 --> 00:27:38.660
 to be

00:27:38.660 --> 00:27:39.339
 the lord

00:27:39.339 --> 00:27:40.039
 of all

00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:40.460
 have you

00:27:40.460 --> 00:27:40.819
 submitted

00:27:40.819 --> 00:27:41.319
 to him

00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:42.759
 all of

00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:43.339
 his enemies

00:27:43.339 --> 00:27:43.900
 all who

00:27:43.900 --> 00:27:44.740
 oppose him

00:27:44.740 --> 00:27:45.839
 resist him

00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:46.539
 will be

00:27:46.539 --> 00:27:47.140
 in due

00:27:47.140 --> 00:27:47.519
 time

00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:48.319
 subdued

00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:48.900
 and reduced

00:27:48.900 --> 00:27:49.279
 to his

00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:49.980
 footstool

00:27:49.980 --> 00:27:51.400
 so have

00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:51.799
 you submitted

00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:52.220
 to him

00:27:52.220 --> 00:27:52.579
 or are

00:27:52.579 --> 00:27:53.259
 you resisting

00:27:53.259 --> 00:27:53.740
 him

00:27:53.740 --> 00:27:55.539
 it might

00:27:55.539 --> 00:27:56.019
 seem to

00:27:56.019 --> 00:27:56.360
 you

00:27:56.360 --> 00:27:57.460
 like there

00:27:57.460 --> 00:27:58.079
 are people

00:27:58.079 --> 00:27:59.019
 who in

00:27:59.019 --> 00:27:59.579
 your lives

00:27:59.579 --> 00:28:00.180
 are more

00:28:00.180 --> 00:28:00.819
 powerful

00:28:00.819 --> 00:28:02.120
 and important

00:28:02.120 --> 00:28:02.799
 than god

00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:03.400
 than christ

00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:03.680
 in your

00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:03.960
 life

00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:05.640
 think about

00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:06.059
 that for a

00:28:06.059 --> 00:28:06.259
 moment

00:28:06.259 --> 00:28:07.759
 who are

00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:07.980
 some of

00:28:07.980 --> 00:28:08.339
 those people

00:28:08.339 --> 00:28:08.980
 maybe it's

00:28:08.980 --> 00:28:09.279
 your

00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:10.799
 parent

00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:13.360
 a president

00:28:13.360 --> 00:28:15.200
 a boss

00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:17.140
 a bully

00:28:17.140 --> 00:28:19.000
 a spouse

00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:20.519
 a professor

00:28:20.519 --> 00:28:23.480
 it might

00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:24.180
 feel

00:28:24.180 --> 00:28:25.420
 more urgent

00:28:25.420 --> 00:28:26.480
 for you

00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:27.400
 to please

00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:28.299
 them

00:28:28.299 --> 00:28:29.519
 rather than

00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:30.059
 please

00:28:30.059 --> 00:28:31.099
 the lord

00:28:31.099 --> 00:28:31.740
 jesus

00:28:31.740 --> 00:28:33.519
 but luke

00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:34.680
 assures us

00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:35.500
 in this passage

00:28:35.500 --> 00:28:36.200
 that a day

00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:37.059
 is coming

00:28:37.059 --> 00:28:37.940
 when it

00:28:37.940 --> 00:28:38.160
 will be

00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:38.440
 made

00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:39.000
 plain

00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:39.720
 to all

00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:40.960
 that jesus

00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:41.480
 is lord

00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:43.799
 and it

00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:44.039
 is in

00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:44.539
 your best

00:28:44.539 --> 00:28:44.920
 interest

00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:45.360
 to submit

00:28:45.360 --> 00:28:45.720
 to him

00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:46.099
 now

00:28:46.099 --> 00:28:47.160
 pledge

00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:47.539
 your allegiance

00:28:47.539 --> 00:28:47.960
 to him

00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:48.360
 now

00:28:48.360 --> 00:28:49.799
 and he's

00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:50.279
 full

00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:51.200
 of glory

00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:52.559
 and grace

00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:55.120
 no man

00:28:55.120 --> 00:28:55.759
 deserves

00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:56.900
 the allegiance

00:28:56.900 --> 00:28:57.620
 that jesus

00:28:57.620 --> 00:28:58.720
 calls for

00:28:58.720 --> 00:28:59.559
 no man

00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:00.039
 deserves

00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:00.680
 the glory

00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:01.200
 that he

00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:01.680
 deserves

00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:02.240
 he's

00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:02.819
 worthy

00:29:02.819 --> 00:29:03.819
 of all

00:29:03.819 --> 00:29:04.420
 the praise

00:29:04.420 --> 00:29:05.200
 that we

00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:05.660
 can give

00:29:05.660 --> 00:29:05.900
 him

00:29:05.900 --> 00:29:06.380
 he's

00:29:06.380 --> 00:29:06.700
 worthy

00:29:06.700 --> 00:29:07.039
 of our

00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:07.259
 very

00:29:07.259 --> 00:29:07.819
 lives

00:29:07.819 --> 00:29:11.259
 because he's

00:29:11.259 --> 00:29:11.659
 the lord

00:29:11.659 --> 00:29:12.279
 of david

00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:15.099
 and having

00:29:15.099 --> 00:29:15.599
 seen the

00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:15.960
 god of

00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:16.359
 the living

00:29:16.359 --> 00:29:16.839
 and the

00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:17.159
 lord of

00:29:17.159 --> 00:29:17.379
 david

00:29:17.379 --> 00:29:17.639
 we now

00:29:17.639 --> 00:29:17.980
 come to

00:29:17.980 --> 00:29:18.500
 the sons

00:29:18.500 --> 00:29:18.779
 of the

00:29:18.779 --> 00:29:19.200
 resurrection

00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:20.019
 in the

00:29:20.019 --> 00:29:20.299
 rest of

00:29:20.299 --> 00:29:20.919
 the passage

00:29:20.919 --> 00:29:22.480
 jesus said

00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:22.980
 earlier in

00:29:22.980 --> 00:29:23.720
 chapter 20

00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:24.559
 verses 35

00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:25.059
 to 36

00:29:25.059 --> 00:29:25.619
 that those

00:29:25.619 --> 00:29:25.859
 who are

00:29:25.859 --> 00:29:26.299
 considered

00:29:26.299 --> 00:29:26.799
 worthy

00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:27.439
 to attain

00:29:27.439 --> 00:29:27.740
 to that

00:29:27.740 --> 00:29:28.079
 age

00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:28.599
 and to

00:29:28.599 --> 00:29:28.720
 the

00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:29.039
 resurrection

00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:29.500
 from the

00:29:29.500 --> 00:29:29.700
 dead

00:29:29.700 --> 00:29:29.919
 neither

00:29:29.919 --> 00:29:30.299
 married

00:29:30.299 --> 00:29:30.500
 nor

00:29:30.500 --> 00:29:30.639
 are

00:29:30.639 --> 00:29:30.839
 given

00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:31.039
 in

00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:31.339
 marriage

00:29:31.339 --> 00:29:31.799
 for

00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:31.899
 they

00:29:31.899 --> 00:29:32.099
 cannot

00:29:32.099 --> 00:29:32.460
 die

00:29:32.460 --> 00:29:32.740
 anymore

00:29:32.740 --> 00:29:32.939
 because

00:29:32.939 --> 00:29:33.079
 they

00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:33.179
 are

00:29:33.179 --> 00:29:33.500
 equal

00:29:33.500 --> 00:29:33.720
 to

00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:34.079
 angels

00:29:34.079 --> 00:29:34.359
 and are

00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:34.720
 sons

00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:34.919
 of

00:29:34.919 --> 00:29:35.159
 God

00:29:35.159 --> 00:29:35.439
 being

00:29:35.439 --> 00:29:36.079
 sons

00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:36.599
 of

00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:36.819
 the

00:29:36.819 --> 00:29:37.480
 resurrection

00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:39.180
 that begs

00:29:39.180 --> 00:29:39.779
 the question

00:29:39.779 --> 00:29:41.079
 how can

00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:41.759
 we attain

00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:42.120
 to the

00:29:42.120 --> 00:29:42.519
 resurrection

00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:44.660
 what kind

00:29:44.660 --> 00:29:45.180
 of people

00:29:45.180 --> 00:29:45.920
 are the

00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:46.299
 sons

00:29:46.299 --> 00:29:46.940
 of the

00:29:46.940 --> 00:29:47.339
 resurrection

00:29:47.339 --> 00:29:48.960
 and jesus

00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:49.539
 addresses

00:29:49.539 --> 00:29:50.259
 that very

00:29:50.259 --> 00:29:50.759
 question

00:29:50.759 --> 00:29:51.480
 in chapter

00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:51.819
 20

00:29:51.819 --> 00:29:52.700
 verse 45

00:29:52.700 --> 00:29:53.160
 to chapter

00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:53.599
 21

00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:54.220
 verse 4

00:29:54.220 --> 00:29:55.259
 first he

00:29:55.259 --> 00:29:55.660
 tells us

00:29:55.660 --> 00:29:56.039
 what kind

00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:56.360
 of people

00:29:56.360 --> 00:29:56.819
 are not

00:29:56.819 --> 00:29:57.200
 worthy

00:29:57.200 --> 00:29:58.000
 to attain

00:29:58.000 --> 00:29:58.259
 to the

00:29:58.259 --> 00:29:58.539
 resurrection

00:29:58.539 --> 00:29:58.940
 from the

00:29:58.940 --> 00:29:59.140
 dead

00:29:59.140 --> 00:29:59.819
 and then he

00:29:59.819 --> 00:30:00.420
 tells us

00:30:00.420 --> 00:30:00.819
 secondly

00:30:00.819 --> 00:30:01.400
 what kind

00:30:01.400 --> 00:30:01.660
 of people

00:30:01.660 --> 00:30:02.319
 are worthy

00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:02.860
 to attain

00:30:02.860 --> 00:30:03.220
 to the

00:30:03.220 --> 00:30:03.660
 resurrection

00:30:03.660 --> 00:30:05.860
 and

00:30:05.860 --> 00:30:06.480
 less people

00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:06.940
 wrongly

00:30:06.940 --> 00:30:07.440
 conclude

00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:07.920
 remember

00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:08.340
 that the

00:30:08.340 --> 00:30:08.700
 scribes

00:30:08.700 --> 00:30:08.820
 were

00:30:08.820 --> 00:30:09.420
 congratulating

00:30:09.420 --> 00:30:09.720
 patting

00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:09.960
 jesus

00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:10.180
 on the

00:30:10.180 --> 00:30:10.400
 back

00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:10.600
 for

00:30:10.600 --> 00:30:11.059
 silencing

00:30:11.059 --> 00:30:11.240
 the

00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:11.759
 sadducees

00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:12.779
 jesus

00:30:12.779 --> 00:30:13.000
 wants

00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:13.279
 to make

00:30:13.279 --> 00:30:13.539
 sure

00:30:13.539 --> 00:30:14.039
 that he

00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:14.200
 doesn't

00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:14.340
 get

00:30:14.340 --> 00:30:14.759
 associated

00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:14.980
 with

00:30:14.980 --> 00:30:15.100
 the

00:30:15.100 --> 00:30:15.640
 sadducees

00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:16.960
 and so

00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:17.240
 look at

00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:17.460
 what he

00:30:17.460 --> 00:30:17.700
 does

00:30:17.700 --> 00:30:18.039
 here in

00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:18.279
 chapter

00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:18.940
 verses

00:30:18.940 --> 00:30:19.640

00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:20.580
 to 47

00:30:20.580 --> 00:30:21.360
 and in

00:30:21.360 --> 00:30:21.840
 the hearing

00:30:21.840 --> 00:30:22.420
 of all

00:30:22.420 --> 00:30:22.980
 the people

00:30:22.980 --> 00:30:23.539
 he said

00:30:23.539 --> 00:30:23.980
 to his

00:30:23.980 --> 00:30:24.680
 disciples

00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:25.720
 within

 earshot

00:30:26.740 --> 00:30:27.080
 of the

00:30:27.080 --> 00:30:28.400
 scribes

00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:29.720
 beware

00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:29.980
 of the

00:30:29.980 --> 00:30:30.519
 scribes

00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:32.759
 who like

00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:33.279
 to walk

00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:35.539
 love

00:30:35.539 --> 00:30:35.980
 greetings

00:30:35.980 --> 00:30:36.279
 in the

00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:36.900
 marketplaces

00:30:36.900 --> 00:30:37.619
 and the

00:30:37.619 --> 00:30:38.180
 best seats

00:30:38.180 --> 00:30:38.440
 in the

00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:38.980

00:30:38.980 --> 00:30:39.220

 places

00:30:39.539 --> 00:30:39.980
 of honor

00:30:39.980 --> 00:30:40.539
 at feasts

00:30:40.539 --> 00:30:41.379
 who devour

00:30:41.379 --> 00:30:41.799
 widows

00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:42.200
 houses

00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:42.819
 and for

00:30:42.819 --> 00:30:43.400
 pretense

00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:43.740
 make

00:30:43.740 --> 00:30:44.099
 long

00:30:44.099 --> 00:30:44.519
 prayers

00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:46.039
 they will

00:30:46.039 --> 00:30:46.539
 receive

00:30:46.539 --> 00:30:47.039
 the greater

00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:47.879
 condemnation

00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:50.500
 Jesus

00:30:50.500 --> 00:30:50.840
 take

00:30:50.840 --> 00:30:51.080
 no

00:30:51.080 --> 00:30:51.300
 prayers

00:30:51.300 --> 00:30:53.740
 first

00:30:53.740 --> 00:30:54.120
 Jesus

00:30:54.120 --> 00:30:54.680
 denounces

00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:55.000
 the

00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:55.440
 scribes

00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:55.900
 because

00:30:55.900 --> 00:30:56.840
 they like

00:30:56.840 --> 00:30:57.280
 to walk

 robes

00:30:58.640 --> 00:30:59.540
 this is

00:30:59.540 --> 00:31:00.120
 not because

00:31:00.120 --> 00:31:00.680
 short

00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:01.120
 robes

00:31:01.120 --> 00:31:01.980

00:31:01.980 --> 00:31:02.360
 ethical

00:31:02.360 --> 00:31:02.880
 than long

00:31:06.320 --> 00:31:06.900
 robes

00:31:06.900 --> 00:31:07.620
 that were

00:31:07.620 --> 00:31:08.200
 a symbol

00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:09.160
 of status

00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:09.660
 for them

00:31:09.660 --> 00:31:11.060
 they like

00:31:11.060 --> 00:31:11.540
 to show

 they dress

00:31:16.339 --> 00:31:17.559

00:31:18.459 --> 00:31:19.039
 hey

00:31:34.259 --> 00:31:35.199
 like the

00:31:35.199 --> 00:31:35.899
 Pharisees

00:31:35.899 --> 00:31:36.879
 who were

00:31:36.879 --> 00:31:37.179
 denounced

00:31:37.179 --> 00:31:37.519
 for this

00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:38.179
 very same

00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:40.939
 they competed

00:31:42.220 --> 00:31:43.059

00:31:43.059 --> 00:31:44.819
 I think

00:31:44.819 --> 00:31:45.139
 I've told

00:31:45.139 --> 00:31:45.480
 this story

00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:45.759
 to some

00:31:45.980 --> 00:31:46.319

 in 2010

00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:48.460
 I volunteered

00:31:48.460 --> 00:31:49.179
 to serve

00:31:49.179 --> 00:31:49.559

00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:52.179

00:31:52.179 --> 00:31:53.399
 and it was

00:31:53.399 --> 00:31:54.000
 in Cape Town

00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:54.720
 South Africa

00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:56.500
 and there

00:31:56.500 --> 00:31:57.919
 were 4,000

00:31:57.919 --> 00:31:59.659

00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:03.759
 attending

00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:05.000
 really

00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:05.639
 anyone

00:32:05.639 --> 00:32:05.960
 you would

00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:06.179
 say

00:32:06.179 --> 00:32:06.500
 would be

00:32:06.500 --> 00:32:06.740
 in the

00:32:06.740 --> 00:32:07.079
 who's

00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:07.299
 who

00:32:07.299 --> 00:32:08.139

00:32:08.139 --> 00:32:08.740
 Christians

00:32:08.740 --> 00:32:09.679
 were there

00:32:09.679 --> 00:32:10.799
 now

00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:11.819
 and one

00:32:11.819 --> 00:32:12.500
 evening

00:32:12.500 --> 00:32:12.819
 however

00:32:12.819 --> 00:32:13.119
 at the

00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:13.439

00:32:13.439 --> 00:32:13.700
 there was

00:32:13.700 --> 00:32:13.919
 a bit

00:32:13.919 --> 00:32:14.159
 of a

00:32:14.159 --> 00:32:14.419
 stir

00:32:14.419 --> 00:32:14.859
 because

00:32:14.859 --> 00:32:15.719
 there

00:32:15.719 --> 00:32:15.819
 was

00:32:15.819 --> 00:32:16.059
 a

00:32:16.059 --> 00:32:16.359
 bishop

00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:17.279
 who

00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:17.899
 refused

00:32:17.899 --> 00:32:18.379
 to sit

00:32:18.379 --> 00:32:18.799
 down

00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:19.479
 because

00:32:19.479 --> 00:32:19.799
 he was

00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:20.119
 given

00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:20.459
 an

00:32:20.459 --> 00:32:20.939
 ordinary

00:32:20.939 --> 00:32:21.419
 chair

00:32:21.419 --> 00:32:21.699
 like

00:32:21.699 --> 00:32:21.919
 the

00:32:21.919 --> 00:32:22.219
 rest

00:32:22.219 --> 00:32:22.539
 of the

00:32:22.539 --> 00:32:22.959
 conference

00:32:22.959 --> 00:32:23.599
 attendees

00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:26.519
 mind you

00:32:26.519 --> 00:32:26.759
 there were

00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:27.379
 archbishops

00:32:27.379 --> 00:32:27.559
 that were

00:32:27.559 --> 00:32:27.740
 sitting

00:32:27.740 --> 00:32:27.919
 on the

00:32:27.919 --> 00:32:28.079
 same

00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:28.419
 chairs

00:32:28.420 --> 00:32:30.340
 he

00:32:30.340 --> 00:32:30.680
 demanded

00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:30.880
 a

00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:31.320
 special

00:32:31.320 --> 00:32:31.660
 chair

00:32:31.660 --> 00:32:32.300
 that

00:32:32.300 --> 00:32:32.800
 befitted

00:32:32.800 --> 00:32:33.340
 his

00:32:33.340 --> 00:32:34.000
 exalted

00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:34.720
 status

00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:35.360
 as

00:32:35.360 --> 00:32:35.500
 a

00:32:35.500 --> 00:32:35.740
 bishop

00:32:35.740 --> 00:32:36.880
 it

00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:37.039
 was

00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:37.200
 a

00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:38.240
 disgraceful

00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:39.060
 expression

00:32:39.060 --> 00:32:39.539
 of

00:32:39.539 --> 00:32:39.920
 human

00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:40.380
 pride

00:32:40.380 --> 00:32:41.160
 that

00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:41.860
 directly

00:32:41.860 --> 00:32:42.920
 contradicts

00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:43.279
 the

00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:43.680
 spirit

00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:43.840
 of

00:32:43.840 --> 00:32:44.200
 Jesus

00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:45.200
 his

00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:45.600
 teaching

00:32:45.600 --> 00:32:46.860
 and

00:32:46.860 --> 00:32:47.140
 that's

00:32:47.140 --> 00:32:47.279
 what

00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:47.500
 these

00:32:47.500 --> 00:32:47.960
 scribes

00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:48.100

 sacrifice

 and

 she

00:39:58.900 --> 00:39:59.240
 people

00:39:59.240 --> 00:39:59.460

 justified

 anything

00:40:01.300 --> 00:40:03.360
 I

00:40:03.360 --> 00:40:03.840
 hardly

00:40:03.840 --> 00:40:04.240
 could

 have

00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:05.019
 enough

 to

00:40:05.220 --> 00:40:05.420
 live

00:40:05.420 --> 00:40:05.700
 on

00:40:05.700 --> 00:40:08.300
 God

00:40:08.300 --> 00:40:08.500
 will

00:40:08.500 --> 00:40:08.900
 understand

00:40:08.900 --> 00:40:09.120
 if

00:40:09.120 --> 00:40:09.220
 I

00:40:09.220 --> 00:40:09.340
 don't

00:40:09.340 --> 00:40:09.519
 give

00:40:09.519 --> 00:40:09.880
 anything

00:40:09.880 --> 00:40:11.660
 but

00:40:11.660 --> 00:40:11.840
 she

00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:12.440
 didn't

00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:14.400
 she

00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:14.820
 gave

00:40:14.820 --> 00:40:15.059
 what

00:40:15.059 --> 00:40:15.480
 was

00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:16.059
 precious

00:40:16.059 --> 00:40:16.360
 to

00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:16.639
 her

00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:23.019
 this

00:40:23.019 --> 00:40:23.179
 is

00:40:23.179 --> 00:40:23.420
 why

00:40:23.420 --> 00:40:23.619
 we

00:40:23.619 --> 00:40:23.900
 don't

00:40:28.900 --> 00:40:29.340
 members

00:40:29.340 --> 00:40:29.780
 like

00:40:29.780 --> 00:40:29.960
 some

00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:30.260
 churches

00:40:30.260 --> 00:40:30.539

00:40:30.539 --> 00:40:31.960
 this

00:40:31.960 --> 00:40:32.079
 is

00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:32.300
 why

00:40:32.300 --> 00:40:32.440
 we

00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:32.579
 don't

00:40:32.579 --> 00:40:32.880
 pass

00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:38.619
 because

00:40:38.619 --> 00:40:38.900
 what

00:40:38.900 --> 00:40:39.360
 matters

00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:39.679
 more

00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:39.860
 to

00:47:13.559 --> 00:47:13.960
 that's

00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:14.320
 why

00:47:14.320 --> 00:47:14.920
 Jesus

00:47:14.920 --> 00:47:15.460
 came

00:47:15.460 --> 00:47:15.960
 and he

00:47:15.960 --> 00:47:16.340
 died

00:47:16.340 --> 00:47:16.500
 on

00:47:16.500 --> 00:47:16.639
 the

00:47:16.639 --> 00:47:16.960
 cross

00:47:16.960 --> 00:47:17.199
 for

00:47:17.199 --> 00:47:17.420
 our

00:47:17.420 --> 00:47:17.820
 sins

00:47:17.820 --> 00:47:20.059
 that's

00:47:20.059 --> 00:47:20.179
 how

00:47:20.179 --> 00:47:20.320
 the

00:47:20.320 --> 00:47:20.519
 kingdom

00:47:20.519 --> 00:47:20.720
 of

00:47:20.720 --> 00:47:21.000
 God

00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:21.480

00:47:21.480 --> 00:47:24.519
 and

00:47:24.519 --> 00:47:24.960
 that's

00:47:24.960 --> 00:47:25.260
 why

00:47:25.260 --> 00:47:25.500
 it's

00:47:25.500 --> 00:47:25.679
 the

00:47:25.679 --> 00:47:26.099
 poor

00:47:26.099 --> 00:47:27.519
 it's

00:47:27.519 --> 00:47:27.639
 those

00:47:27.639 --> 00:47:27.760
 who

00:47:27.760 --> 00:47:28.059

00:47:28.059 --> 00:47:28.679

00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:29.940
 and

00:47:29.940 --> 00:47:30.400
 cling

00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:30.619
 to

00:47:30.619 --> 00:47:31.059
 Jesus

00:47:31.059 --> 00:47:31.900
 that's

00:47:31.900 --> 00:47:32.119
 why

00:47:32.119 --> 00:47:32.400
 they

00:47:32.400 --> 00:47:33.039
 are

00:47:33.039 --> 00:47:33.240
 the

00:47:33.240 --> 00:47:33.659
 sons
