WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.859
 Thank you, Praise Team.

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:07.839
 Fitting songs to talk about our Great Shepherd,

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:11.759
! the one who came and accomplished everything for us.

00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:16.760
 and in this chapter 10, we've been looking at the Good Shepherd

00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:24.760
! and getting to see Him in a way that hopefully has been a great reminder of who He is

00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:29.859
 and the wonder of being identified as one of His sheep.

00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:36.480
 We're coming to the last message in chapter 10, and to be honest with you,

00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:44.120
 I kind of wanted to leave with the kids because this is one of those passages where

00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:48.579
 I don't even know how to describe it except to say,

00:00:49.100 --> 00:00:54.900
 if it were not for the fact that we believe in exposition, in moving verse at a time,

00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.340
 this would be the passage that we would avoid.

00:00:57.340 --> 00:01:02.580
 Okay, this would be the one where we would say, well, I like this, it's there,

00:01:02.760 --> 00:01:07.600
 but let's set this aside, let's move on to some things that are a little bit more clear.

00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:14.859
 But here we come to chapter 10, verses 33 to 42,

00:01:14.859 --> 00:01:20.919
 and we are forced to take a look at some bold statements that Jesus makes.

00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:29.659
 Bold statement that, I'll tell you what, runs the risk, runs the danger of being misunderstood.

00:01:29.659 --> 00:01:40.239
 And so this morning, we desperately need to go to the Lord and ask for help, empowerment to share,

00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:45.319
 and empowerment to hear as we approach this text.

00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.819
 So let's pray and ask God for His help today.

00:01:49.979 --> 00:01:57.039
 Oh God, we need Your help to understand these amazing words.

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.239
 Words that come with force.

00:02:01.059 --> 00:02:05.199
 Words that can be so easily misunderstood and misapplied.

00:02:06.459 --> 00:02:10.620
 Words that the cults have sought to take and use for their own benefit,

00:02:10.799 --> 00:02:14.219
 to support their own misleading doctrines.

00:02:14.219 --> 00:02:19.080
 And so this morning, we come with fear and trepidation, asking for Your help.

00:02:19.780 --> 00:02:24.620
 Help to speak and help to listen this morning.

00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:33.039
 As we come to this, what could be a very complex and difficult passage before us today.

00:02:33.780 --> 00:02:37.579
 So give us Your Holy Spirit to help us through this process.

00:02:38.139 --> 00:02:40.599
 We pray these things in Jesus' name. Amen.

00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:40.680
 Amen.

00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:44.539
 Those of you who are familiar with the Gordian knot,

00:02:45.519 --> 00:02:50.319
 that's kind of what I am thinking about when I come to this passage.

00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.400
 A passage that really has some complexities,

00:02:53.799 --> 00:03:00.199
 and it's hard to unravel, it's hard to unscramble the difficulties of what is before us.

00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:03.459
 Those of you who are unfamiliar with the Gordian knot,

00:03:03.460 --> 00:03:08.879
 let me just share just the legend, as it were, of how this came to be.

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:14.340
 Phrygia was an ancient kingdom in what is now central Turkey.

00:03:15.300 --> 00:03:19.100
 And according to legend, once upon a time, Phrygia was out without a king.

00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.980
 And so there was a prophet who spoke before the people and said,

00:03:23.979 --> 00:03:29.060
 the next person to drive his ox cart into the city will be the king.

00:03:30.139 --> 00:03:35.739
 So a farmer named Gordius came with his ox cart into the city

00:03:35.739 --> 00:03:38.519
 and was then declared king of the city.

00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:41.780
 Gordius' son, whose name was Midas,

00:03:41.899 --> 00:03:45.139
 and we're familiar with Midas because he later became king

00:03:45.139 --> 00:03:47.280
 and was known for the Midas touch,

00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:53.840
 decided to honor his newly exalted father by dedicating this ox cart

00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.379
 to the pagan god of the city.

00:03:57.340 --> 00:04:02.280
 And he did this by tying that ox cart to a post that was there.

00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:08.099
 And he used such a complex knot that no one could unscramble this knot.

00:04:08.539 --> 00:04:11.000
 It was known as the Gordian knot.

00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.599
 As legend continues, centuries went by,

00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.959
 and that ox cart still remained securely tied to the pole.

00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:21.060
 Then Alexander the Great came,

00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:23.939
 was told about this prophecy,

00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:29.639
 and in a fit of wisdom and power,

00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:33.259
 struck that Gordian knot with his sword,

00:04:34.060 --> 00:04:36.899
 broke it apart, and fulfilled that prophecy,

00:04:37.180 --> 00:04:41.579
 and that is apparently why he was able to conquer Asia.

00:04:41.579 --> 00:04:45.120
 So the Gordian knot has become a symbol

00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:48.800
 of the stubborn, complex problems of the day,

00:04:49.459 --> 00:04:51.959
 and Alexander's sword has been a symbol

00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.479
 for decisive and out-of-the-box leadership solutions.

00:04:56.719 --> 00:05:01.360
 Well, this morning we come to what some would call a Gordian knot,

00:05:01.620 --> 00:05:07.399
 or that problem passage that is so typical of parts of the Scripture.

00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:10.279
 It would just be easy to pass over,

00:05:10.479 --> 00:05:15.599
 and to overlook, and to move to the next part of the chapter.

00:05:15.819 --> 00:05:17.539
 But here we are this morning.

00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.339
 We need to take a look at this important passage,

00:05:21.859 --> 00:05:24.779
 and seek to unravel some of the complexities who are here,

00:05:25.039 --> 00:05:28.299
 and ask for God's help in understanding,

00:05:28.979 --> 00:05:33.459
 in appreciating the words of Jesus this morning before us.

00:05:33.459 --> 00:05:38.180
 There is a danger, of course, of communicating ineffectively.

00:05:38.979 --> 00:05:42.620
 So I want to apologize ahead of time if there's any confusion,

00:05:42.819 --> 00:05:45.680
 and I trust that if there is confusion,

00:05:46.459 --> 00:05:48.519
 that you'll have the grace to come

00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:54.319
 and ask for my answers,

00:05:54.679 --> 00:05:57.019
 and the ability to, or the opportunity at least,

00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:59.799
 to try to answer the questions that come.

00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:03.199
 But in order to come to this passage,

00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.579
 we need to catch ourselves up to where we are.

00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:11.139
 And this morning what we'll find is that Jesus' answer to these Jews,

00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:15.199
 these collection of religious leaders who have gathered before Him,

00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:19.720
 His answer to them is an answer, really, for any skeptic.

00:06:20.500 --> 00:06:22.780
 This morning as we come to this passage,

00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:27.199
 and we look at these verses that are here,

00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.000
 we're going to hopefully walk away with the understanding

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.019
 that what we walk away with is a solution,

00:06:34.500 --> 00:06:36.560
 an answer for any skeptic.

00:06:37.379 --> 00:06:39.860
 Are there any skeptics in your life?

00:06:40.500 --> 00:06:42.539
 Are there any of those people who would say,

00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:43.639
 show me the proof,

00:06:44.779 --> 00:06:48.339
 help me to understand that your belief system

00:06:48.339 --> 00:06:49.480
 is more than just faith,

00:06:49.579 --> 00:06:51.419
 but it rests in substance,

00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:54.199
 that there is something more significant

00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:57.719
 and more substantial to your claims?

00:06:59.139 --> 00:06:59.779
 And this morning,

00:07:00.060 --> 00:07:01.620
 as we look at our passage,

00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:03.379
 we're going to see that there is evidence,

00:07:03.500 --> 00:07:06.920
 there is an answer for any skeptic.

00:07:08.599 --> 00:07:10.480
 I want to buzz through some of our,

00:07:10.939 --> 00:07:12.599
 some of what we've already gone through.

00:07:13.300 --> 00:07:17.599
 This whole passage really begins in verse 22.

00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:20.760
 We find that it's the feast of the dedication.

00:07:21.700 --> 00:07:23.520
 We find that there is an accusation

00:07:23.520 --> 00:07:25.980
 that is given by this group,

00:07:26.080 --> 00:07:28.160
 this collective group of religious leaders

00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.360
 who are titled the Jews.

00:07:31.620 --> 00:07:34.480
 We find them here throughout this passage.

00:07:34.700 --> 00:07:36.060
 We see in verse 24,

00:07:36.220 --> 00:07:37.040
 the Jews gathered.

00:07:37.640 --> 00:07:39.580
 We find Jesus' response to them,

00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:42.320
 and here they are again later on.

00:07:42.400 --> 00:07:42.840
 It says that,

00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:45.240
 and the Jews answered Him in verse 33.

00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.000
 Who were this group of Jews?

00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:48.259
 Well,

00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:51.939
 John uses this 66 times throughout his gospel

00:07:51.939 --> 00:07:55.500
 to help draw attention to this group of individuals

00:07:55.500 --> 00:07:58.100
 who were the religious leaders of the day.

00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.079
 Those who should have been the enlightened ones.

00:08:01.660 --> 00:08:04.540
 Those who should have guarded the law.

00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:06.160
 Those who should have understood

00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.259
 and taught the people faithfully.

00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:12.540
 And they bring their accusation to Christ,

00:08:12.660 --> 00:08:14.259
 and they say here in verse 24,

00:08:14.259 --> 00:08:15.459
 they say,

00:08:15.539 --> 00:08:17.920
 how long will you keep us in suspense?

00:08:18.779 --> 00:08:19.980
 If you are the Christ,

00:08:20.579 --> 00:08:21.980
 tell us plainly.

00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:23.599
 Of course,

00:08:23.719 --> 00:08:24.039
 Jesus,

00:08:24.339 --> 00:08:25.620
 in this whole narrative,

00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:28.279
 has opened the eyes of the blind.

00:08:28.379 --> 00:08:30.779
 We saw that happening two months before

00:08:30.779 --> 00:08:32.240
 as Jesus is there

00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:33.860
 during the feast of tabernacles,

00:08:33.939 --> 00:08:36.200
 and He has opened the eyes of this blind man.

00:08:36.899 --> 00:08:38.939
 This one who was blind

00:08:38.939 --> 00:08:40.240
 was made to see,

00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.379
 and He is the one

00:08:42.379 --> 00:08:44.580
 who actually has not only now physical sight,

00:08:45.100 --> 00:08:46.639
 but spiritual perception.

00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:48.399
 And He is the one

00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:50.320
 who at the end of chapter 9

00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:51.279
 is now informing

00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.060
 these Pharisees

00:08:53.060 --> 00:08:54.299
 in chapter 9,

00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:55.279
 verse 30 and 33

00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:56.019
 when He says,

00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:56.740
 why?

00:08:56.740 --> 00:08:58.620
 This is a marvelous thing

00:08:58.620 --> 00:08:59.299
 that you don't know

00:08:59.299 --> 00:09:00.080
 where He is from.

00:09:01.680 --> 00:09:03.060
 He has opened my eyes.

00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:05.000
 Now we know that God

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:06.620
 does not hear any sinner,

00:09:07.340 --> 00:09:08.940
 but if anyone is a worshiper of God

00:09:08.940 --> 00:09:09.820
 and does His will,

00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:10.799
 He hears Him.

00:09:11.779 --> 00:09:12.740
 Since the world began,

00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:14.080
 it has been unheard

00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:14.879
 that anyone

00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:16.159
 opened the eyes

00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:17.639
 of one who was born blind.

00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:19.620
 If this man

00:09:19.620 --> 00:09:21.320
 were not from God,

00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:23.259
 he could do nothing.

00:09:23.259 --> 00:09:25.039
 You see,

00:09:25.620 --> 00:09:27.159
 this blind man understood.

00:09:28.139 --> 00:09:30.319
 This blind man got it.

00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:31.779
 He saw

00:09:31.779 --> 00:09:33.319
 that the answer

00:09:33.319 --> 00:09:35.019
 for every skeptic

00:09:35.019 --> 00:09:36.759
 was the evidence

00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:37.580
 of the working

00:09:37.580 --> 00:09:38.960
 of Jesus Christ

00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:39.620
 in the world.

00:09:40.980 --> 00:09:41.939
 He got it.

00:09:42.860 --> 00:09:43.299
 And Jesus,

00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:44.460
 and now flowing

00:09:44.460 --> 00:09:45.639
 from that discussion,

00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:47.860
 begins to talk about Himself

00:09:47.860 --> 00:09:48.960
 as the Good Shepherd.

00:09:49.500 --> 00:09:51.139
 That He is the Good Shepherd.

00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:52.620
 That He is the door.

00:09:52.620 --> 00:09:54.060
 He sets Himself

00:09:54.060 --> 00:09:55.159
 above these

00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:56.899
 Jewish religious leaders.

00:09:57.899 --> 00:09:59.100
 There is one leader.

00:10:00.019 --> 00:10:01.159
 There is one Messiah.

00:10:01.779 --> 00:10:02.360
 And that is me.

00:10:03.580 --> 00:10:04.279
 The Jews,

00:10:04.419 --> 00:10:05.159
 in hearing Jesus'

00:10:05.500 --> 00:10:06.940
 answer,

00:10:07.620 --> 00:10:07.759
 say,

00:10:07.860 --> 00:10:07.980
 okay,

00:10:08.100 --> 00:10:09.279
 we understand the implications

00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:10.000
 of what you're saying,

00:10:10.139 --> 00:10:12.080
 but tell us plainly.

00:10:13.299 --> 00:10:14.220
 Their accusation

00:10:14.220 --> 00:10:14.960
 was that He wasn't

00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:15.480
 being clear.

00:10:16.820 --> 00:10:18.340
 You're making bold claims,

00:10:18.460 --> 00:10:19.360
 but if you're truly

00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:20.000
 the Messiah,

00:10:20.299 --> 00:10:21.039
 come clean.

00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:22.659
 Help us know

00:10:22.659 --> 00:10:23.399
 straight up,

00:10:23.500 --> 00:10:24.240
 if you dare,

00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:26.439
 who are you really?

00:10:27.339 --> 00:10:27.959
 Tell us

00:10:27.959 --> 00:10:30.259
 in clear terms.

00:10:31.339 --> 00:10:32.480
 Jesus gives His answer

00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:34.000
 in verses 25 to 31.

00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:35.639
 We saw that last week,

00:10:35.659 --> 00:10:37.159
 and we saw that Jesus

00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:39.399
 is definitively saying

00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:40.500
 that I am

00:10:40.500 --> 00:10:41.500
 the Messiah.

00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:43.039
 I am the Christ.

00:10:43.199 --> 00:10:45.059
 I am God.

00:10:45.059 --> 00:10:47.119
 We saw 10 ways

00:10:47.119 --> 00:10:48.119
 that Jesus did that

00:10:48.119 --> 00:10:48.759
 last week.

00:10:49.419 --> 00:10:51.339
 He spoke God's words.

00:10:51.739 --> 00:10:53.059
 He did God's works.

00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:54.459
 He possesses

00:10:54.459 --> 00:10:55.699
 God's knowledge.

00:10:56.119 --> 00:10:56.819
 He exercises

00:10:56.819 --> 00:10:57.559
 His authority.

00:10:58.199 --> 00:10:58.979
 We saw that He gave

00:10:58.979 --> 00:10:59.639
 His life.

00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:00.839
 He wielded

00:11:00.839 --> 00:11:01.659
 God's power.

00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:03.439
 He was equal

00:11:03.439 --> 00:11:04.219
 with the Father

00:11:04.219 --> 00:11:05.079
 and one

00:11:05.079 --> 00:11:05.699
 in fellowship

00:11:05.699 --> 00:11:06.219
 with Him.

00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:07.219
 We saw that He

00:11:07.219 --> 00:11:08.439
 showed God's mercy,

00:11:08.779 --> 00:11:09.759
 and that He fulfilled

00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:10.579
 God's promises.

00:11:11.139 --> 00:11:12.659
 In 10 ways,

00:11:12.779 --> 00:11:14.000
 in just 12 verses,

00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:15.360
 Jesus states

00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:16.100
 emphatically,

00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:18.019
 I am the Messiah.

00:11:20.740 --> 00:11:23.039
 Jesus was that

00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:24.200
 intersection point

00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.620
 where fact and faith

00:11:26.620 --> 00:11:27.879
 came together.

00:11:29.419 --> 00:11:31.840
 Jesus was the embodiment

00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:33.320
 of truth.

00:11:33.700 --> 00:11:34.720
 He was spirit

00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:35.799
 and yet body,

00:11:36.179 --> 00:11:37.960
 divinity yet humanity,

00:11:38.379 --> 00:11:40.220
 invisible yet visible,

00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:42.320
 eternal yet tangible.

00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:44.560
 all of those things

00:11:44.560 --> 00:11:46.180
 culminated in the person

00:11:46.180 --> 00:11:47.240
 of Jesus Christ,

00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:48.160
 and there He was

00:11:48.160 --> 00:11:49.820
 standing in their midst.

00:11:50.540 --> 00:11:51.500
 That was His answer.

00:11:52.260 --> 00:11:52.820
 This morning,

00:11:52.900 --> 00:11:53.940
 I want to focus

00:11:53.940 --> 00:11:54.480
 our attention

00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:56.120
 on their antagonism.

00:11:56.520 --> 00:11:57.379
 The antagonism

00:11:57.379 --> 00:11:58.120
 that we see here

00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:59.860
 in verses 31

00:11:59.860 --> 00:12:01.480
 to 33.

00:12:02.780 --> 00:12:03.379
 They say,

00:12:03.780 --> 00:12:04.379
 the Jews

00:12:04.379 --> 00:12:05.540
 picked up stones

00:12:05.540 --> 00:12:06.520
 to stone Him.

00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:08.480
 And Jesus answered,

00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:10.120
 I have shown you

00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:11.259
 many good works

00:12:11.259 --> 00:12:11.879
 from the Father.

00:12:12.500 --> 00:12:13.939
 For which of them

00:12:13.939 --> 00:12:15.019
 are you going

00:12:15.019 --> 00:12:15.980
 to stone Me?

00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:17.840
 The Jews answered Him,

00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:19.220
 it is not for a good work

00:12:19.220 --> 00:12:19.659
 that we are going

00:12:19.659 --> 00:12:20.240
 to stone you,

00:12:20.379 --> 00:12:21.659
 but for blasphemy,

00:12:22.199 --> 00:12:23.720
 because you being a man

00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:25.819
 make yourself God.

00:12:26.659 --> 00:12:26.960
 Now,

00:12:27.019 --> 00:12:27.840
 I want to help you

00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:28.360
 to see,

00:12:28.500 --> 00:12:29.360
 just here at the

00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:30.159
 very beginning,

00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:31.419
 the Jews

00:12:31.419 --> 00:12:33.360
 in this verse,

00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:35.980
 verse 33,

00:12:36.980 --> 00:12:38.840
 are agreeing with Jesus

00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:39.700
 that His works

00:12:39.700 --> 00:12:40.159
 are good.

00:12:41.820 --> 00:12:42.379
 They're agreeing

00:12:42.379 --> 00:12:42.940
 with Jesus

00:12:42.940 --> 00:12:44.139
 that they saw

00:12:44.139 --> 00:12:44.639
 the evidence

00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:45.279
 of His life

00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:46.779
 being worked out

00:12:46.779 --> 00:12:47.440
 by the Father,

00:12:48.060 --> 00:12:49.419
 the divine working

00:12:49.419 --> 00:12:50.940
 of His miracles

00:12:50.940 --> 00:12:51.960
 in His life,

00:12:52.620 --> 00:12:53.680
 they're on center stage,

00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:54.720
 and it wasn't

00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:55.800
 for the good works

00:12:55.800 --> 00:12:56.800
 that they were

00:12:56.800 --> 00:12:57.460
 going to stone Him,

00:12:57.879 --> 00:12:58.860
 but for blasphemy.

00:12:59.779 --> 00:13:00.720
 So what will Jesus

00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:02.700
 do to address

00:13:02.700 --> 00:13:04.259
 this antagonism?

00:13:04.820 --> 00:13:05.740
 What will Jesus

00:13:05.740 --> 00:13:07.600
 do to help

00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:08.960
 remove the issue

00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:10.220
 of blasphemy

00:13:10.220 --> 00:13:10.600
 from them

00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:11.240
 so they can get

00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:12.800
 a full view

00:13:12.800 --> 00:13:13.620
 of His works?

00:13:14.540 --> 00:13:15.940
 So they can stand

00:13:15.940 --> 00:13:16.840
 at the window

00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:18.700
 of the glory

00:13:18.700 --> 00:13:19.180
 of God

00:13:19.180 --> 00:13:20.620
 and to see it,

00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:21.759
 to take it in,

00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:23.480
 and to be

00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:25.340
 shocked

00:13:25.340 --> 00:13:26.640
 and amazed

00:13:26.640 --> 00:13:28.060
 at the wonder

00:13:28.060 --> 00:13:29.420
 of who He is

00:13:29.420 --> 00:13:30.640
 through His works.

00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:32.160
 They have said

00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:32.659
 that His works

00:13:32.659 --> 00:13:33.120
 are good.

00:13:33.779 --> 00:13:34.679
 Do they mean

00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:35.419
 that,

00:13:35.719 --> 00:13:36.360
 or is that

00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:37.079
 just a front

00:13:37.079 --> 00:13:38.379
 for something

00:13:38.379 --> 00:13:39.539
 deeper in their life?

00:13:41.819 --> 00:13:42.659
 Their antagonism

00:13:42.659 --> 00:13:43.679
 is addressed now

00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:45.159
 in verses 34

00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:46.500
 to 38

00:13:46.500 --> 00:13:47.839
 when Jesus

00:13:47.839 --> 00:13:49.799
 answers them

00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:51.019
 by helping them

00:13:51.019 --> 00:13:51.500
 understand

00:13:51.500 --> 00:13:52.459
 that He

00:13:52.459 --> 00:13:53.620
 is authentic,

00:13:54.199 --> 00:13:55.219
 this authentication

00:13:55.219 --> 00:13:56.480
 of Christ

00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:57.659
 to them

00:13:57.659 --> 00:13:59.339
 in verses 34

00:13:59.339 --> 00:14:00.279
 to 38.

00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:01.339
 and now

00:14:01.339 --> 00:14:01.699
 that we're

00:14:01.699 --> 00:14:02.019
 kind of

00:14:02.019 --> 00:14:02.480
 caught up

00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:02.779
 to where

00:14:02.779 --> 00:14:03.220
 we are

00:14:03.220 --> 00:14:04.159
 in the flow

00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:05.000
 of this passage,

00:14:05.740 --> 00:14:06.959
 now I want us

00:14:06.959 --> 00:14:08.039
 to walk

00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:08.839
 through this

00:14:08.839 --> 00:14:11.480
 with fear

00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:12.240
 and trepidation,

00:14:13.019 --> 00:14:14.240
 with carefulness,

00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:15.919
 and my desire

00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:16.559
 this morning

00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:17.259
 is to make

00:14:17.259 --> 00:14:18.899
 this very practical.

00:14:19.779 --> 00:14:20.679
 So as we walk

00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:21.299
 through this

00:14:21.299 --> 00:14:22.419
 problem passage,

00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.120
 as we kind of

00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:25.199
 talk about

00:14:25.199 --> 00:14:26.339
 the implications

00:14:26.339 --> 00:14:27.220
 and complexities

00:14:27.220 --> 00:14:27.680
 of this,

00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:28.960
 I want to use

00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:29.779
 this as a model

00:14:29.779 --> 00:14:30.420
 for you.

00:14:30.540 --> 00:14:31.899
 This is what I

00:14:31.899 --> 00:14:32.800
 did this week

00:14:32.800 --> 00:14:34.560
 to try to arrive

00:14:34.560 --> 00:14:36.540
 at the truth,

00:14:37.420 --> 00:14:38.700
 and so I want

00:14:38.700 --> 00:14:39.379
 to share that

00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:39.759
 with you

00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:40.360
 so that you,

00:14:40.660 --> 00:14:41.259
 in coming to

00:14:41.259 --> 00:14:42.060
 problem passages,

00:14:42.940 --> 00:14:43.660
 will be able

00:14:43.660 --> 00:14:45.060
 to navigate

00:14:45.060 --> 00:14:46.060
 your way through

00:14:46.060 --> 00:14:47.580
 these passages

00:14:47.580 --> 00:14:48.700
 and arrive

00:14:48.700 --> 00:14:49.759
 at a conclusion

00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:51.360
 that is consistent

00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:51.759
 with the rest

00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:52.139
 of Scripture.

00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:53.580
 So,

00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:55.139
 we see that

00:14:55.139 --> 00:14:56.180
 Jesus authenticates

00:14:56.179 --> 00:14:56.559
 himself,

00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:57.139
 first of all,

00:14:57.199 --> 00:14:57.719
 through wisdom.

00:14:58.199 --> 00:14:58.639
 Let me read

00:14:58.639 --> 00:14:59.299
 our passage

00:14:59.299 --> 00:14:59.939
 for us

00:14:59.939 --> 00:15:00.759
 this morning

00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:02.399
 in verses

00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:04.419
 34 to 39.

00:15:05.199 --> 00:15:06.019
 You'll see

00:15:06.019 --> 00:15:07.259
 the difficulties

00:15:07.259 --> 00:15:07.639
 here,

00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:08.699
 and then we'll

00:15:08.699 --> 00:15:09.139
 jump in.

00:15:10.359 --> 00:15:11.199
 Jesus answers

00:15:11.199 --> 00:15:12.039
 this antagonism

00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:12.719
 in verse 34

00:15:12.719 --> 00:15:13.879
 and says,

00:15:14.719 --> 00:15:15.120
 Is it not

00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:16.039
 written in your

00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:16.459
 law,

00:15:17.079 --> 00:15:17.839
 I said you are

00:15:17.839 --> 00:15:18.259
 gods?

00:15:19.179 --> 00:15:20.039
 If he called

00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:21.199
 them gods

00:15:21.199 --> 00:15:22.120
 to whom the

00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:22.679
 word of God

00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:23.179
 came,

00:15:23.839 --> 00:15:24.519
 and Scripture

00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:25.559
 cannot be broken,

00:15:26.179 --> 00:15:27.159
 do you say

00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:27.579
 of him

00:15:27.579 --> 00:15:28.059
 whom the

00:15:28.059 --> 00:15:28.299
 Father

00:15:28.299 --> 00:15:29.120
 consecrated

00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:29.919
 and sent

00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:30.279
 into the

00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:30.500
 world,

00:15:30.620 --> 00:15:30.919
 you are

00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:31.799
 blaspheming

00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:32.799
 because I

00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:33.139
 said I'm

00:15:33.139 --> 00:15:33.439
 the Son

00:15:33.439 --> 00:15:33.839
 of God?

00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:35.479
 If I am

00:15:35.479 --> 00:15:36.120
 not going

00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:37.039
 or doing

00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:37.639
 the works

00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:38.079
 of my

00:15:38.079 --> 00:15:38.479
 Father,

00:15:38.739 --> 00:15:39.059
 then do

00:15:39.059 --> 00:15:39.479
 not believe

00:15:39.479 --> 00:15:39.759
 me.

00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:41.219
 But if I

00:15:41.219 --> 00:15:41.620
 do them,

00:15:42.359 --> 00:15:42.979
 even though

00:15:42.979 --> 00:15:43.459
 you do not

00:15:43.459 --> 00:15:44.099
 believe me,

00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:45.239
 believe the

00:15:45.239 --> 00:15:45.639
 works,

00:15:46.259 --> 00:15:46.819
 that you

00:15:46.819 --> 00:15:47.479
 may know

00:15:47.479 --> 00:15:48.319
 and understand

00:15:48.319 --> 00:15:49.459
 that the

00:15:49.459 --> 00:15:50.059
 Father is

00:15:50.059 --> 00:15:50.620
 in me

00:15:50.620 --> 00:15:51.959
 and I

00:15:51.959 --> 00:15:52.599
 am in

00:15:52.599 --> 00:15:53.479
 the

00:15:53.479 --> 00:15:53.779
 Father.

00:15:53.779 --> 00:15:56.720
 authentication

00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:57.240
 through

00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:57.600
 wisdom.

00:15:58.699 --> 00:15:59.379
 Jesus knew

00:15:59.379 --> 00:16:00.079
 the complexities

00:16:00.079 --> 00:16:00.519
 of the

00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:00.799
 issue,

00:16:01.259 --> 00:16:01.879
 and his

00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:02.600
 desire to

00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:03.439
 set aside

00:16:03.439 --> 00:16:04.100
 this

00:16:04.100 --> 00:16:05.059
 accusation

00:16:05.059 --> 00:16:05.919
 of blasphemy

00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:07.059
 so they

00:16:07.059 --> 00:16:07.399
 could get

00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:08.100
 a front

00:16:08.100 --> 00:16:08.759
 seat to

00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:09.240
 see the

00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:09.759
 works of

00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:10.139
 God and

00:16:10.139 --> 00:16:10.759
 make an

00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:11.259
 evaluation

00:16:11.259 --> 00:16:12.179
 for themselves,

00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:13.959
 this answer

00:16:13.959 --> 00:16:14.720
 for any

00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:15.319
 skeptic,

00:16:15.959 --> 00:16:16.539
 the work

00:16:16.539 --> 00:16:17.319
 of God

00:16:17.319 --> 00:16:17.860
 and the

00:16:17.860 --> 00:16:18.179
 Father

00:16:18.179 --> 00:16:18.919
 coming through

00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:19.459
 Christ.

00:16:21.099 --> 00:16:21.699
 Jesus

00:16:21.699 --> 00:16:22.579
 uses

00:16:22.579 --> 00:16:23.419
 this

00:16:23.419 --> 00:16:24.620
 startling

00:16:24.620 --> 00:16:25.179
 statement,

00:16:25.579 --> 00:16:25.860
 you are

00:16:25.860 --> 00:16:26.319
 gods,

00:16:26.959 --> 00:16:27.559
 to begin

00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:28.240
 this

00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:29.039
 process.

00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:31.699
 Where do

00:16:31.699 --> 00:16:32.059
 we go?

00:16:32.379 --> 00:16:32.819
 You are

00:16:32.819 --> 00:16:33.240
 gods.

00:16:33.599 --> 00:16:34.179
 What in

00:16:34.179 --> 00:16:34.799
 the world

00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:35.360
 does this

00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:35.659
 mean?

00:16:38.139 --> 00:16:39.360
 The process

00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:40.079
 of discovery,

00:16:40.199 --> 00:16:40.959
 this process

00:16:40.959 --> 00:16:42.000
 of coming

00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:42.459
 to a

00:16:42.459 --> 00:16:42.879
 problem

00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:43.559
 passage,

00:16:44.599 --> 00:16:45.379
 first of

00:16:45.379 --> 00:16:45.519
 all,

00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:45.959
 it begins

00:16:45.959 --> 00:16:46.620
 with prayer

00:16:46.620 --> 00:16:48.179
 and continues

00:16:48.179 --> 00:16:48.819
 with prayer

00:16:48.819 --> 00:16:49.259
 all the way

00:16:49.259 --> 00:16:49.539
 through.

00:16:50.319 --> 00:16:50.759
 But what

00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:51.279
 I've labeled

00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:51.699
 here is

00:16:51.699 --> 00:16:52.279
 step one,

00:16:52.379 --> 00:16:53.039
 is asking

00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:53.759
 the hard

00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:54.239
 questions.

00:16:55.059 --> 00:16:55.559
 Each of

00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:56.019
 these steps

00:16:56.019 --> 00:16:56.479
 must be

00:16:56.479 --> 00:16:56.959
 bathed in

00:16:56.959 --> 00:16:57.279
 prayer.

00:16:58.419 --> 00:16:59.019
 Asking for

00:16:59.019 --> 00:16:59.339
 God's

00:16:59.339 --> 00:16:59.620
 wisdom,

00:16:59.859 --> 00:17:00.359
 asking for

00:17:00.359 --> 00:17:00.959
 his help

00:17:00.959 --> 00:17:01.620
 as you

00:17:01.620 --> 00:17:01.959
 walk your

00:17:01.959 --> 00:17:02.319
 way through.

00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:03.799
 Ask the

00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:04.200
 hard

00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:04.839
 questions.

00:17:06.460 --> 00:17:06.759
 What are

00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:07.559
 your knee-jerk

00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:08.359
 reactions when

00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:08.919
 you hear

00:17:08.919 --> 00:17:09.799
 the phrase

00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:10.339
 from Jesus'

00:17:10.579 --> 00:17:10.899
 lips,

00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:11.519
 you are

00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:11.960
 gods?

00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:13.759
 I can tell

00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:14.019
 you what's

00:17:14.019 --> 00:17:14.419
 coming through

00:17:14.419 --> 00:17:14.960
 my mind.

00:17:15.899 --> 00:17:16.379
 Is Jesus

00:17:16.379 --> 00:17:17.599
 really saying

00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:18.139
 what I

00:17:18.140 --> 00:17:18.560
 think he's

00:17:18.560 --> 00:17:18.840
 saying?

00:17:20.860 --> 00:17:21.380
 Isn't

00:17:21.380 --> 00:17:21.720
 this

00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:22.800
 counterproductive

00:17:22.800 --> 00:17:23.180
 to his

00:17:23.180 --> 00:17:23.600
 argument,

00:17:24.220 --> 00:17:24.520
 his

00:17:24.520 --> 00:17:25.200
 declaration

00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:25.860
 of divinity?

00:17:26.860 --> 00:17:27.520
 If there

00:17:27.520 --> 00:17:27.840
 are other

00:17:27.840 --> 00:17:28.240
 gods,

00:17:28.380 --> 00:17:28.840
 then how

00:17:28.840 --> 00:17:29.200
 does that

00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:29.900
 help his

00:17:29.900 --> 00:17:30.280
 argument?

00:17:31.220 --> 00:17:31.960
 If there

00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:32.320
 are other

00:17:32.320 --> 00:17:32.660
 gods,

00:17:32.780 --> 00:17:33.220
 then how

00:17:33.220 --> 00:17:33.940
 can we

00:17:33.940 --> 00:17:34.320
 identify

00:17:34.320 --> 00:17:34.720
 them?

00:17:35.560 --> 00:17:35.940
 What is

00:17:35.940 --> 00:17:36.420
 their role?

00:17:37.620 --> 00:17:38.140
 Is there

00:17:38.140 --> 00:17:39.200
 a deeper

00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:39.800
 meaning here?

00:17:40.300 --> 00:17:40.660
 Something

00:17:40.660 --> 00:17:41.220
 below the

00:17:41.220 --> 00:17:41.600
 surface?

00:17:42.860 --> 00:17:43.180
 Which

00:17:43.180 --> 00:17:43.960
 passage is

00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:44.220
 Jesus

00:17:44.220 --> 00:17:44.620
 quoting?

00:17:45.280 --> 00:17:45.720
 And what

00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:45.980
 is the

00:17:45.980 --> 00:17:46.520
 context?

00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:46.660
 Christ,

00:17:47.259 --> 00:17:48.400
 what is

00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:48.720
 Jesus

00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:49.579
 trying to

00:17:49.579 --> 00:17:50.059
 accomplish

00:17:50.059 --> 00:17:50.940
 with this

00:17:50.940 --> 00:17:51.480
 approach?

00:17:52.700 --> 00:17:53.339
 Does this

00:17:53.339 --> 00:17:54.299
 contradict

00:17:54.299 --> 00:17:55.859
 everything that

00:17:55.859 --> 00:17:56.480
 I know to

00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:56.940
 be true

00:17:56.940 --> 00:17:57.799
 about Jesus

00:17:57.799 --> 00:17:58.440
 and about

00:17:58.440 --> 00:17:58.819
 God?

00:17:59.819 --> 00:18:00.559
 God is

00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:00.940
 one,

00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:02.039
 and yet

00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:02.379
 Jesus

00:18:02.379 --> 00:18:03.480
 says,

00:18:03.980 --> 00:18:04.759
 you are

00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:05.139
 gods?

00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:07.440
 Begin with

00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:08.039
 the questions.

00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:09.180
 Write them

00:18:09.180 --> 00:18:09.539
 down.

00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:11.039
 Be willing

00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:12.299
 to be honest

00:18:12.299 --> 00:18:13.299
 about what

00:18:13.299 --> 00:18:13.900
 you see,

00:18:13.900 --> 00:18:15.380
 and ask

00:18:15.380 --> 00:18:15.960
 those questions

00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:16.420
 and pray

00:18:16.420 --> 00:18:16.920
 for God's

00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:18.360
 guidance in

00:18:18.360 --> 00:18:18.840
 arriving at

00:18:18.840 --> 00:18:19.019
 the right

00:18:19.019 --> 00:18:19.480
 conclusions.

00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:20.840
 Secondly,

00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:21.700
 look at the

00:18:21.700 --> 00:18:22.300
 quote in

00:18:22.300 --> 00:18:23.000
 its context.

00:18:23.560 --> 00:18:23.740
 So I

00:18:23.740 --> 00:18:24.259
 would encourage

00:18:24.259 --> 00:18:25.100
 you to keep

00:18:25.100 --> 00:18:25.540
 your finger

00:18:25.540 --> 00:18:26.000
 here in

00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:26.440
 John chapter

00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:28.240
 10 and

00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:28.680
 turn back

00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:29.120
 with me to

00:18:29.120 --> 00:18:29.940
 Psalm 82.

00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:32.120
 Psalm 82.

00:18:33.120 --> 00:18:33.800
 This is where

00:18:33.800 --> 00:18:34.360
 this quote is

00:18:34.360 --> 00:18:34.980
 taken from.

00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:38.340
 Psalm 82.

00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:39.280
 I'm just

00:18:39.280 --> 00:18:39.720
 going to want

00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:40.120
 to read the

00:18:40.120 --> 00:18:40.940
 first couple

00:18:40.940 --> 00:18:41.360
 of verses

00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:42.000
 and then

00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:42.879
 verse 6

00:18:42.879 --> 00:18:43.399
 where this

00:18:43.399 --> 00:18:44.139
 verse comes

00:18:44.139 --> 00:18:44.459
 from.

00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:46.979
 Psalm 82.

00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:49.379
 A psalm

00:18:49.379 --> 00:18:50.179
 of Asaph.

00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:51.799
 God has

00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:52.439
 taken his

00:18:52.439 --> 00:18:53.399
 place in

00:18:53.399 --> 00:18:54.119
 the divine

00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:54.699
 council.

00:18:55.539 --> 00:18:56.079
 In the midst

00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:56.899
 of the gods

00:18:56.899 --> 00:18:57.719
 he holds

00:18:57.719 --> 00:18:58.199
 judgment.

00:18:59.500 --> 00:18:59.839
 How long

00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:00.139
 will you

00:19:00.139 --> 00:19:01.240
 judge unjustly

00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:02.159
 and show

00:19:02.159 --> 00:19:02.979
 partiality

00:19:02.979 --> 00:19:03.579
 to the wicked?

00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:05.519
 And dropping

00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:05.939
 down to

00:19:05.939 --> 00:19:06.479
 verse 6.

00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:07.759
 I said

00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:08.359
 you are

00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:08.799
 gods,

00:19:09.419 --> 00:19:10.299
 sons of

00:19:10.299 --> 00:19:10.639
 the most

00:19:10.639 --> 00:19:11.019
 high,

00:19:11.259 --> 00:19:11.619
 all of

00:19:11.619 --> 00:19:11.779
 you.

00:19:12.619 --> 00:19:13.019
 Nevertheless

00:19:13.019 --> 00:19:13.940
 like men

00:19:13.940 --> 00:19:14.440
 you shall

00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:15.339
 die and

00:19:15.339 --> 00:19:16.220
 fall like

00:19:16.220 --> 00:19:17.019
 any prince.

00:19:17.879 --> 00:19:18.259
 Arise

00:19:18.259 --> 00:19:18.700
 O God,

00:19:19.019 --> 00:19:19.639
 judge the

00:19:19.639 --> 00:19:20.299
 earth for

00:19:20.299 --> 00:19:21.299
 you shall

00:19:21.299 --> 00:19:22.180
 inherit the

00:19:22.180 --> 00:19:22.579
 nations.

00:19:23.740 --> 00:19:24.379
 What you'll

00:19:24.379 --> 00:19:25.039
 find here in

00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:25.619
 this passage

00:19:25.619 --> 00:19:26.419
 is you'll

00:19:26.419 --> 00:19:26.839
 find this

00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:27.460
 interplay

00:19:27.460 --> 00:19:28.700
 between the

00:19:28.700 --> 00:19:29.440
 divine name

00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:30.259
 God being

00:19:30.259 --> 00:19:30.960
 used for

00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:32.359
 God Almighty

00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:33.259
 and the

00:19:33.259 --> 00:19:34.079
 divine name

00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:35.079
 gods being

00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:35.659
 used for

00:19:35.659 --> 00:19:36.200
 those who

00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:36.779
 are judging

00:19:36.779 --> 00:19:37.460
 in his

00:19:37.460 --> 00:19:37.879
 place.

00:19:38.539 --> 00:19:38.940
 You'll

00:19:38.940 --> 00:19:39.500
 find throughout

00:19:39.500 --> 00:19:40.079
 this passage

00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:40.339
 that they

00:19:40.339 --> 00:19:40.799
 are judging

00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:41.379
 in a way

00:19:41.379 --> 00:19:42.119
 that is

00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:42.859
 ineffective.

00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:43.819
 They're judging

00:19:43.819 --> 00:19:44.159
 in a way

00:19:44.159 --> 00:19:44.899
 that's partial.

00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:45.659
 They're judging

00:19:45.659 --> 00:19:45.980
 in a way

00:19:45.980 --> 00:19:46.839
 that's unjust.

00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:47.919
 They're judging

00:19:47.919 --> 00:19:48.379
 in a way

00:19:48.379 --> 00:19:48.879
 that is not

00:19:48.879 --> 00:19:49.539
 representative

00:19:49.539 --> 00:19:50.319
 of the

00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:50.839
 commission

00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:51.639
 that they've

00:19:51.639 --> 00:19:51.980
 been given.

00:19:53.619 --> 00:19:54.299
 They're not

00:19:54.299 --> 00:19:54.779
 honoring

00:19:54.779 --> 00:19:56.579
 that divine

00:19:56.579 --> 00:19:57.119
 commission

00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:57.519
 that God

00:19:57.519 --> 00:19:57.839
 has given

00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:58.119
 to them

00:19:58.119 --> 00:19:58.460
 and yet

00:19:58.460 --> 00:19:58.960
 they're still

00:19:58.960 --> 00:19:59.519
 acting in

00:19:59.519 --> 00:19:59.980
 a way

00:19:59.980 --> 00:20:01.460
 that God

00:20:01.460 --> 00:20:02.039
 has placed

00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:02.480
 them as

00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:03.119
 authorities

00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:03.779
 over the

00:20:03.779 --> 00:20:04.119
 people.

00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:05.779
 But their

00:20:05.779 --> 00:20:06.539
 true identity

00:20:06.539 --> 00:20:07.419
 will be

00:20:07.419 --> 00:20:08.019
 revealed in

00:20:08.019 --> 00:20:08.359
 the end.

00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:09.459
 you will

00:20:09.459 --> 00:20:10.199
 die like

00:20:10.199 --> 00:20:10.719
 mortals

00:20:10.719 --> 00:20:12.319
 because they

00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:12.939
 have failed

00:20:12.939 --> 00:20:13.779
 to honor

00:20:13.779 --> 00:20:15.439
 and fulfill

00:20:15.439 --> 00:20:16.359
 the responsibility

00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:17.539
 of what God

00:20:17.539 --> 00:20:17.979
 has called

00:20:17.979 --> 00:20:18.479
 them to do.

00:20:19.859 --> 00:20:20.159
 And in

00:20:20.159 --> 00:20:20.619
 some way

00:20:20.619 --> 00:20:21.379
 Jesus applies

00:20:21.379 --> 00:20:21.879
 this verse

00:20:21.879 --> 00:20:22.559
 to himself.

00:20:23.439 --> 00:20:24.079
 In a very

00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:25.839
 liquid way

00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:26.399
 what Jesus

00:20:26.399 --> 00:20:26.859
 is saying

00:20:26.859 --> 00:20:27.519
 is if this

00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:28.159
 was true

00:20:28.159 --> 00:20:28.799
 of the

00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:29.299
 judges of

00:20:29.299 --> 00:20:29.679
 old

00:20:29.679 --> 00:20:31.740
 then it

00:20:31.740 --> 00:20:32.019
 can be

00:20:32.019 --> 00:20:32.319
 true of

00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:32.679
 me too.

00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:33.039
 I have

00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:33.500
 been given

00:20:33.500 --> 00:20:34.219
 a divine

00:20:34.219 --> 00:20:34.679
 commission.

00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:35.500
 I have

00:20:35.500 --> 00:20:35.940
 the divine

00:20:35.940 --> 00:20:36.480
 word.

00:20:37.380 --> 00:20:37.640
 And so

00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:38.039
 I in

00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:38.600
 that way

00:20:38.600 --> 00:20:39.240
 am

00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:39.680
 considered

00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:40.120
 God

00:20:40.120 --> 00:20:40.640
 as well.

00:20:42.259 --> 00:20:42.720
 And this

00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:43.360
 may remove

00:20:43.360 --> 00:20:43.680
 some of

00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:44.360
 the accusations

00:20:44.360 --> 00:20:45.200
 of blasphemy

00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:46.779
 but it

00:20:46.779 --> 00:20:47.240
 still

00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:49.200
 doesn't

00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:49.680
 resolve

00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:50.299
 the tension

00:20:50.299 --> 00:20:50.680
 in our

00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:50.840
 own

00:20:50.840 --> 00:20:51.279
 life

00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:51.820
 and our

00:20:51.820 --> 00:20:51.960
 own

00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:52.400
 hearts

00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:52.580
 with

00:20:52.580 --> 00:20:53.160
 what is

00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:53.519
 Jesus

00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:54.000
 talking

00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:54.360
 about.

00:20:55.360 --> 00:20:55.720
 Step

00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:56.140
 three of

00:20:56.140 --> 00:20:56.640
 this process

00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:57.180
 is to

00:20:57.180 --> 00:20:57.480
 look at

00:20:57.480 --> 00:20:58.039
 the words

00:20:58.039 --> 00:20:58.920
 in phrases

00:20:58.920 --> 00:20:59.980
 and any

00:20:59.980 --> 00:21:00.840
 concordance

00:21:00.840 --> 00:21:01.500
 will help

00:21:01.500 --> 00:21:01.799
 you with

00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:02.080
 this.

00:21:02.420 --> 00:21:02.560
 Any

00:21:02.560 --> 00:21:02.960
 Bible

00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:03.320
 app

00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:04.319
 will help

00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:04.579
 you with

00:21:04.579 --> 00:21:04.899
 this.

00:21:05.500 --> 00:21:05.759
 Many

00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:06.279
 times you

00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:06.740
 actually get

00:21:06.740 --> 00:21:07.259
 a good

00:21:07.259 --> 00:21:07.799
 definition

00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:08.899
 of the

00:21:08.899 --> 00:21:09.319
 words

00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:09.960
 from reading

00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:10.539
 the gospel

00:21:10.539 --> 00:21:10.879
 writer

00:21:10.879 --> 00:21:11.759
 or reading

00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:12.319
 the author

00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:12.659
 of the

00:21:12.659 --> 00:21:12.839
 book,

00:21:12.899 --> 00:21:13.240
 the letter.

00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:14.779
 And that

00:21:14.779 --> 00:21:15.639
 term is

00:21:15.639 --> 00:21:16.720
 often defined

00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:17.879
 through the

00:21:17.879 --> 00:21:18.779
 course of

00:21:18.779 --> 00:21:19.419
 the writing.

00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:20.539
 But we

00:21:20.539 --> 00:21:21.039
 find in

00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:21.859
 this passage

00:21:21.859 --> 00:21:22.700
 that when

00:21:22.700 --> 00:21:23.480
 Jesus uses

00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:23.899
 the word

00:21:23.899 --> 00:21:24.500
 God,

00:21:24.619 --> 00:21:25.179
 he uses

00:21:25.179 --> 00:21:25.659
 the word

00:21:25.659 --> 00:21:26.359
 theos.

00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:28.019
 This is

00:21:28.019 --> 00:21:28.720
 the divine

00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:29.099
 title.

00:21:30.019 --> 00:21:30.359
 And when

00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:31.339
 the author

00:21:31.339 --> 00:21:32.939
 of the

00:21:32.940 --> 00:21:33.519
 Psalms

00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:34.039
 uses

00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:34.519
 the word

00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:34.799
 God,

00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:35.160
 he uses

00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:35.500
 the word

00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:36.160
 Elohim.

00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:37.480
 That is

00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:38.240
 the divine

00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:38.799
 title.

00:21:39.620 --> 00:21:39.880
 So there

00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:40.279
 is no

00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:40.940
 misunderstanding

00:21:40.940 --> 00:21:42.059
 here in

00:21:42.059 --> 00:21:42.519
 interpretation.

00:21:43.299 --> 00:21:43.840
 It's not a

00:21:43.840 --> 00:21:44.580
 translational

00:21:44.580 --> 00:21:45.000
 issue.

00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:46.140
 This word

00:21:46.140 --> 00:21:47.259
 is for

00:21:47.259 --> 00:21:47.920
 God.

00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:49.460
 Then you

00:21:49.460 --> 00:21:49.960
 have to ask

00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:50.299
 yourself the

00:21:50.299 --> 00:21:50.580
 question,

00:21:50.700 --> 00:21:50.840
 okay,

00:21:51.059 --> 00:21:51.519
 so where

00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:51.920
 are some

00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:52.580
 other examples

00:21:52.580 --> 00:21:52.980
 of how

00:21:52.980 --> 00:21:53.400
 this word

00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:53.779
 is used

00:21:53.779 --> 00:21:54.000
 in the

00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:54.120
 Old

00:21:54.120 --> 00:21:54.440
 Testament?

00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:55.400
 And you'll

00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:55.960
 find again

00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:56.259
 through a

00:21:56.259 --> 00:21:56.880
 concordance

00:21:56.880 --> 00:21:57.720
 that it's

00:21:57.720 --> 00:21:58.080
 used of

00:21:58.080 --> 00:21:58.559
 angels

00:21:58.559 --> 00:21:59.720
 in Job.

00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:00.180
 Remember

00:22:00.180 --> 00:22:01.360
 how the

00:22:01.360 --> 00:22:01.940
 angels

00:22:01.940 --> 00:22:02.420
 of God

00:22:02.420 --> 00:22:02.600
 are

00:22:02.600 --> 00:22:03.940
 presenting

00:22:03.940 --> 00:22:04.539
 themselves

00:22:04.539 --> 00:22:05.000
 before the

00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:05.240
 Lord?

00:22:06.620 --> 00:22:07.160
 It's also

00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:07.660
 used as

00:22:07.660 --> 00:22:08.060
 Samuel.

00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:09.460
 In 1 Samuel

00:22:09.460 --> 00:22:10.039
 28,

00:22:10.500 --> 00:22:11.340
 his spirit

00:22:11.340 --> 00:22:12.759
 is called

00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:13.560
 up by

00:22:13.560 --> 00:22:14.640
 Saul and

00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:15.759
 by the

00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:17.120
 witch that

00:22:17.120 --> 00:22:17.620
 was there.

00:22:18.500 --> 00:22:18.880
 And his

00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:19.680
 spirit comes

00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:20.140
 and he

00:22:20.140 --> 00:22:20.660
 refers to

00:22:20.660 --> 00:22:21.140
 him as

00:22:21.140 --> 00:22:21.820
 Elohim.

00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:23.320
 It's used

00:22:23.320 --> 00:22:23.880
 of Moses

00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:24.620
 in his

00:22:24.620 --> 00:22:25.180
 relationship

00:22:25.180 --> 00:22:25.799
 with Aaron

00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:26.720
 in Exodus

00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:27.420
 chapter 4

00:22:27.420 --> 00:22:27.980
 16.

00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:29.140
 It says,

00:22:29.380 --> 00:22:29.779
 and he

00:22:29.779 --> 00:22:31.180
 himself

00:22:31.180 --> 00:22:31.839
 will be

00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:32.680
 as a

00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:33.200
 mouth for

00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:33.460
 you,

00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:33.960
 speaking of

00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:34.200
 Aaron,

00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:34.940
 and you

00:22:34.940 --> 00:22:35.380
 Moses

00:22:35.380 --> 00:22:36.279
 shall be

00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:36.740
 to him

00:22:36.740 --> 00:22:37.620
 as God

00:22:37.620 --> 00:22:38.240
 Elohim.

00:22:39.460 --> 00:22:39.860
 It's also

00:22:39.860 --> 00:22:40.400
 used of

00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:40.740
 Moses

00:22:40.740 --> 00:22:41.420
 to Pharaoh.

00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:42.860
 It says

00:22:42.860 --> 00:22:43.200
 in Exodus

00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:43.559
 7,

00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:43.940
 1,

00:22:44.059 --> 00:22:44.360
 so the

00:22:44.360 --> 00:22:44.779
 Lord said

00:22:44.779 --> 00:22:45.140
 to Moses,

00:22:45.299 --> 00:22:45.660
 see I've

00:22:45.660 --> 00:22:46.120
 made you

00:22:46.120 --> 00:22:47.200
 as God

00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:47.759
 to Pharaoh

00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:49.059
 and Aaron

00:22:49.059 --> 00:22:49.620
 your brother

00:22:49.620 --> 00:22:50.200
 shall be

00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:51.100
 your prophet.

00:22:52.180 --> 00:22:52.860
 It's also

00:22:52.860 --> 00:22:53.420
 used of the

00:22:53.420 --> 00:22:53.960
 judges in

00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:54.779
 Exodus 21.

00:22:55.620 --> 00:22:55.940
 So we

00:22:55.940 --> 00:22:56.380
 can see

00:22:56.380 --> 00:22:57.160
 from this

00:22:57.160 --> 00:22:58.039
 passage,

00:22:58.120 --> 00:22:58.380
 we can

00:22:58.380 --> 00:22:59.500
 see from

00:22:59.500 --> 00:23:00.059
 the Old

00:23:00.059 --> 00:23:00.539
 Testament

00:23:00.539 --> 00:23:02.220
 that this

00:23:02.220 --> 00:23:03.059
 divine title

00:23:03.059 --> 00:23:03.620
 is used

00:23:03.620 --> 00:23:04.240
 for those

00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:04.660
 who are

00:23:04.660 --> 00:23:05.120
 given a

00:23:05.120 --> 00:23:05.600
 divine

00:23:05.600 --> 00:23:06.259
 commission.

00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:08.720
 Now,

00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:10.400
 did Jesus

00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:11.779
 just blow

00:23:11.779 --> 00:23:12.940
 up your

00:23:12.940 --> 00:23:13.380
 theology?

00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:15.160
 Did Jesus

00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:16.039
 just create

00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:17.420
 some unsettledness

00:23:17.420 --> 00:23:17.680
 in your

00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:18.160
 heart as

00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:19.019
 even with

00:23:19.019 --> 00:23:19.500
 me this

00:23:19.500 --> 00:23:20.160
 past week?

00:23:21.360 --> 00:23:22.360
 How am I

00:23:22.360 --> 00:23:22.820
 supposed to

00:23:22.820 --> 00:23:23.440
 understand this

00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:23.740
 argument?

00:23:24.660 --> 00:23:25.480
 Who is a

00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:25.860
 God?

00:23:26.259 --> 00:23:26.519
 Then,

00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:27.320
 and what

00:23:27.320 --> 00:23:27.740
 does that

00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:28.220
 make Jesus?

00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:29.980
 Step number

00:23:29.980 --> 00:23:30.460
 four in this

00:23:30.460 --> 00:23:31.160
 process is to

00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:32.039
 look for

00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:32.600
 qualifying

00:23:32.600 --> 00:23:33.180
 statements.

00:23:34.340 --> 00:23:34.799
 How does

00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:35.759
 Jesus begin

00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:36.340
 to answer

00:23:36.340 --> 00:23:37.420
 this question

00:23:37.420 --> 00:23:38.680
 in his

00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:39.460
 dialogue with

00:23:39.460 --> 00:23:39.980
 these Jews?

00:23:41.660 --> 00:23:42.600
 We see

00:23:42.600 --> 00:23:44.019
 here that

00:23:44.019 --> 00:23:44.920
 Jesus seeks

00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:46.140
 to

00:23:46.140 --> 00:23:47.519
 emphasize the

00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:48.059
 fact that

00:23:48.059 --> 00:23:48.580
 the word of

00:23:48.580 --> 00:23:49.039
 God cannot

00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:49.620
 be broken.

00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:50.840
 He emphasizes

00:23:50.840 --> 00:23:51.820
 that on two

00:23:51.820 --> 00:23:52.799
 occasions here

00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:53.640
 in just a

00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:54.180
 couple of

00:23:54.180 --> 00:23:54.460
 verses.

00:23:55.259 --> 00:23:55.840
 He says

00:23:55.840 --> 00:23:56.180
 in verse

00:23:56.180 --> 00:23:56.700
 34,

00:23:56.860 --> 00:23:57.259
 is it

00:23:57.259 --> 00:23:57.519
 not

00:23:57.519 --> 00:23:57.799
 written

00:23:57.799 --> 00:23:58.120
 in your

00:23:58.120 --> 00:23:58.440
 law?

00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:00.560
 And then

00:24:00.560 --> 00:24:01.160
 later on

00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:01.680
 in verse

00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:02.299
 35,

00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:03.220
 and the

00:24:03.220 --> 00:24:03.539
 scripture

00:24:03.539 --> 00:24:04.580
 cannot be

00:24:04.580 --> 00:24:05.120
 broken.

00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:07.100
 Jesus

00:24:07.100 --> 00:24:09.299
 wants his

00:24:09.299 --> 00:24:10.000
 hearers to

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:10.680
 understand

00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:11.980
 that he is

00:24:11.980 --> 00:24:12.600
 speaking in a

00:24:12.600 --> 00:24:13.039
 way that is

00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:14.480
 consistent with

00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:14.900
 the scriptures.

00:24:14.900 --> 00:24:18.240
 Jesus is

00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:18.960
 upholding the

00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:19.840
 integrity and

00:24:19.840 --> 00:24:20.560
 continuity of

00:24:20.560 --> 00:24:20.980
 the word.

00:24:22.740 --> 00:24:23.420
 It almost

00:24:23.420 --> 00:24:23.820
 takes your

00:24:23.820 --> 00:24:24.240
 breath away,

00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:24.880
 doesn't it?

00:24:26.380 --> 00:24:27.080
 It is.

00:24:28.280 --> 00:24:28.880
 For me,

00:24:29.080 --> 00:24:30.200
 there's this

00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:31.620
 check in my

00:24:31.620 --> 00:24:32.280
 spirit.

00:24:33.100 --> 00:24:34.140
 There is this

00:24:34.140 --> 00:24:35.620
 hesitancy in

00:24:35.620 --> 00:24:36.800
 my posture.

00:24:37.560 --> 00:24:38.340
 What in the

00:24:38.340 --> 00:24:39.220
 world is Jesus

00:24:39.220 --> 00:24:40.220
 trying to say?

00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:41.320
 And we begin

00:24:41.320 --> 00:24:42.280
 to actually feel

00:24:42.280 --> 00:24:42.720
 some of the

00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:43.840
 gravity of

00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:44.199
 what the

00:24:44.199 --> 00:24:44.740
 Jews were

00:24:44.740 --> 00:24:45.539
 experiencing

00:24:45.539 --> 00:24:46.639
 when Jesus

00:24:46.639 --> 00:24:47.339
 made such

00:24:47.339 --> 00:24:48.179
 bold claims.

00:24:49.059 --> 00:24:49.779
 Jesus turns

00:24:49.779 --> 00:24:50.779
 everything upside

00:24:50.779 --> 00:24:51.339
 down for

00:24:51.339 --> 00:24:51.539
 them.

00:24:52.699 --> 00:24:53.740
 He consistently

00:24:53.740 --> 00:24:54.959
 wants them to

00:24:54.959 --> 00:24:55.679
 reorient their

00:24:55.679 --> 00:24:56.459
 perspective with

00:24:56.459 --> 00:24:56.899
 the law.

00:24:58.559 --> 00:24:59.099
 He says,

00:24:59.179 --> 00:24:59.619
 you have heard

00:24:59.619 --> 00:25:00.000
 it said,

00:25:00.099 --> 00:25:01.139
 but I say

00:25:01.139 --> 00:25:01.559
 to you.

00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:03.299
 He says,

00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:04.199
 bless those

00:25:04.199 --> 00:25:04.740
 who curse

00:25:04.740 --> 00:25:05.079
 you,

00:25:05.439 --> 00:25:06.019
 bless and

00:25:06.019 --> 00:25:06.699
 curse not.

00:25:07.699 --> 00:25:08.059
 He says,

00:25:08.159 --> 00:25:08.759
 blessed are the

00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:09.559
 poor in spirit.

00:25:10.500 --> 00:25:11.099
 The first

00:25:11.099 --> 00:25:12.000
 shall be last,

00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:13.200
 the greatest

00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:14.140
 shall be least.

00:25:14.980 --> 00:25:15.619
 He who saves

00:25:15.619 --> 00:25:16.200
 his life will

00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:16.559
 lose it,

00:25:16.619 --> 00:25:17.000
 but whoever

00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:17.880
 loses his

00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:18.480
 life for my

00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:18.859
 sake will

00:25:18.859 --> 00:25:19.359
 find it.

00:25:20.180 --> 00:25:20.500
 Jesus

00:25:20.500 --> 00:25:21.240
 consistently

00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:22.559
 turns everything

00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:23.700
 upside down.

00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:24.799
 He shatters

00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:25.619
 expectations.

00:25:26.579 --> 00:25:27.299
 He wants to

00:25:27.299 --> 00:25:28.579
 reorient

00:25:28.579 --> 00:25:29.460
 your

00:25:29.460 --> 00:25:30.319
 perspective.

00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:33.240
 Maybe Jesus

00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:33.779
 is helping

00:25:33.779 --> 00:25:35.079
 us with that

00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:35.579
 this morning.

00:25:36.740 --> 00:25:37.380
 Reorienting

00:25:37.380 --> 00:25:38.319
 our perspective

00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:39.400
 about the

00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:40.680
 privilege of

00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:41.420
 being called

00:25:41.420 --> 00:25:41.779
 by the

00:25:41.779 --> 00:25:42.440
 divine name.

00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:44.600
 There is

00:25:44.600 --> 00:25:46.039
 unbelievable

00:25:46.039 --> 00:25:46.740
 privilege,

00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:48.420
 but there is

00:25:48.420 --> 00:25:49.420
 unbearable

00:25:49.420 --> 00:25:50.539
 responsibility

00:25:50.539 --> 00:25:52.080
 apart from

00:25:52.080 --> 00:25:52.420
 us.

00:25:53.660 --> 00:25:54.340
 Jesus now

00:25:54.340 --> 00:25:54.620
 though,

00:25:54.779 --> 00:25:55.360
 he sets

00:25:55.360 --> 00:25:55.940
 himself

00:25:55.940 --> 00:25:56.779
 apart.

00:25:57.620 --> 00:25:58.240
 He sets

00:25:58.240 --> 00:25:59.060
 himself apart

00:25:59.060 --> 00:25:59.759
 in these

00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:00.299
 next few

00:26:00.299 --> 00:26:00.640
 verses.

00:26:00.940 --> 00:26:01.740
 In verse

00:26:01.740 --> 00:26:03.039
 36 in

00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:03.400
 particular,

00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:04.640
 he says,

00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:05.620
 do you say

00:26:05.620 --> 00:26:06.480
 of him whom

00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:07.100
 the father

00:26:07.100 --> 00:26:08.279
 consecrated

00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:10.000
 and sent

00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:11.180
 into the

00:26:11.180 --> 00:26:11.539
 world.

00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:12.500
 Now Jesus

00:26:12.500 --> 00:26:13.099
 is helping

00:26:13.099 --> 00:26:14.200
 to move

00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:14.839
 them from

00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:15.899
 a point of

00:26:15.899 --> 00:26:16.960
 lesser to

00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:17.319
 greater.

00:26:18.500 --> 00:26:18.899
 What would

00:26:18.899 --> 00:26:19.440
 be common

00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:19.940
 to those

00:26:19.940 --> 00:26:20.379
 who have

00:26:20.379 --> 00:26:21.079
 received the

00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:21.339
 word,

00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:22.139
 now moving

00:26:22.139 --> 00:26:22.759
 to the

00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:23.460
 one who

00:26:23.460 --> 00:26:24.200
 is giving

00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:24.740
 the word

00:26:24.740 --> 00:26:25.500
 itself.

00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:26.420
 Jesus

00:26:26.420 --> 00:26:27.359
 infinitely

00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:28.220
 greater,

00:26:28.819 --> 00:26:29.480
 sanctified

00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:30.099
 by the

00:26:30.099 --> 00:26:30.480
 father,

00:26:31.059 --> 00:26:31.759
 bringing the

00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:32.099
 immortal

00:26:32.099 --> 00:26:32.660
 word,

00:26:32.980 --> 00:26:33.720
 the flesh

00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:34.440
 who has

00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:35.019
 made word

00:26:35.019 --> 00:26:35.440
 and dwelt

00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:36.139
 among us.

00:26:36.539 --> 00:26:36.960
 He is

00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:37.519
 infinitely

00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:38.019
 greater

00:26:38.019 --> 00:26:38.460
 because

00:26:38.460 --> 00:26:39.279
 he is

00:26:39.279 --> 00:26:39.920
 from

00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:40.180
 the

00:26:40.180 --> 00:26:40.519
 father.

00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:41.980
 The only

00:26:41.980 --> 00:26:42.940
 one who

00:26:42.940 --> 00:26:43.440
 has come

00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:43.759
 from the

00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:44.000
 father,

00:26:44.259 --> 00:26:44.559
 the only

00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:45.100
 one who

00:26:45.100 --> 00:26:45.759
 is set

00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:46.200
 apart,

00:26:46.600 --> 00:26:46.900
 the only

00:26:46.900 --> 00:26:47.420
 one who

00:26:47.420 --> 00:26:48.340
 is sanctified,

00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:49.240
 the only

00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:49.819
 one who

00:26:49.819 --> 00:26:50.860
 stands by

00:26:50.860 --> 00:26:51.920
 himself as

00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:52.579
 the authority

00:26:52.579 --> 00:26:52.860
 of the

00:26:52.860 --> 00:26:53.279
 word.

00:26:54.539 --> 00:26:54.880
 Jesus

00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:56.660
 is consecrated

00:26:56.660 --> 00:26:57.720
 and dedicated

00:26:57.720 --> 00:26:58.799
 and made

00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:00.500
 holy by

00:27:00.500 --> 00:27:01.340
 the father.

00:27:02.100 --> 00:27:02.779
 He is

00:27:02.779 --> 00:27:03.579
 distinct

00:27:03.579 --> 00:27:05.160
 and this

00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:05.519
 would have

00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:06.120
 been particularly

00:27:06.120 --> 00:27:06.640
 important

00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:07.680
 during this

00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:07.980
 time,

00:27:08.080 --> 00:27:08.680
 this feast

00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:09.380
 of dedication

00:27:09.380 --> 00:27:10.280
 where they're

00:27:10.280 --> 00:27:11.240
 purifying and

00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:12.360
 sanctifying the

00:27:12.360 --> 00:27:13.360
 temple and

00:27:13.360 --> 00:27:14.780
 Jesus borrowing

00:27:14.780 --> 00:27:15.300
 from that

00:27:15.300 --> 00:27:16.000
 language which

00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:16.220
 had been

00:27:16.220 --> 00:27:16.800
 fresh in

00:27:16.800 --> 00:27:17.340
 their minds

00:27:17.340 --> 00:27:18.100
 helping them

00:27:18.100 --> 00:27:18.600
 to understand

00:27:18.600 --> 00:27:19.200
 that he

00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:19.900
 was the

00:27:19.900 --> 00:27:20.480
 sanctified

00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:20.820
 one.

00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:21.880
 He was

00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:23.200
 the consecrated

00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:24.100
 one from

00:27:24.100 --> 00:27:24.660
 the father.

00:27:25.080 --> 00:27:25.900
 He stands

00:27:25.900 --> 00:27:27.100
 apart from

00:27:27.100 --> 00:27:27.660
 the crowd.

00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:29.200
 He is the

00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:30.240
 only one sent

00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:30.660
 into the

00:27:30.660 --> 00:27:31.000
 world.

00:27:32.180 --> 00:27:32.840
 This alone

00:27:32.840 --> 00:27:33.340
 can be

00:27:33.340 --> 00:27:34.060
 assigned to

00:27:34.060 --> 00:27:34.460
 Christ.

00:27:34.460 --> 00:27:36.740
 step five

00:27:36.740 --> 00:27:37.059
 in this

00:27:37.059 --> 00:27:37.500
 process

00:27:37.500 --> 00:27:37.960
 would be

00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:38.720
 to ask

00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:39.019
 yourself

00:27:39.019 --> 00:27:39.460
 the question

00:27:39.460 --> 00:27:39.759
 is it

00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:40.299
 consistent

00:27:40.299 --> 00:27:40.660
 with

00:27:40.660 --> 00:27:41.000
 scripture?

00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:43.100
 What do I

00:27:43.100 --> 00:27:43.620
 know about

00:27:43.620 --> 00:27:43.880
 this?

00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:44.180
 Is it

00:27:44.180 --> 00:27:45.279
 the conclusions

00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:45.720
 that I have

00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:46.160
 drawn?

00:27:46.660 --> 00:27:46.960
 Are they

00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:47.600
 consistent with

00:27:47.600 --> 00:27:48.079
 what I see

00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:48.819
 everywhere else

00:27:48.819 --> 00:27:49.640
 in the word?

00:27:51.299 --> 00:27:51.960
 Who does

00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:53.100
 Jesus refer to

00:27:53.100 --> 00:27:54.319
 as gods?

00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:55.680
 We find that

00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:56.360
 here in verse

00:27:56.360 --> 00:27:57.100
 35.

00:27:57.099 --> 00:27:58.019
 it says

00:27:58.019 --> 00:28:00.240
 if he

00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:00.939
 called them

00:28:00.939 --> 00:28:01.480
 gods

00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:02.500
 to whom

00:28:02.500 --> 00:28:03.459
 the word

00:28:03.459 --> 00:28:04.199
 of God

00:28:04.199 --> 00:28:04.719
 came.

00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:06.639
 Those are

00:28:06.639 --> 00:28:06.980
 the ones

00:28:06.980 --> 00:28:07.419
 to whom

00:28:07.419 --> 00:28:09.240
 God

00:28:09.240 --> 00:28:10.099
 allows and

00:28:10.099 --> 00:28:10.839
 shares his

00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:11.539
 divine title

00:28:11.539 --> 00:28:11.819
 with.

00:28:12.579 --> 00:28:13.399
 Those to

00:28:13.399 --> 00:28:13.799
 whom

00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:14.539
 the word

00:28:14.539 --> 00:28:15.019
 of God

00:28:15.019 --> 00:28:15.379
 came.

00:28:15.740 --> 00:28:16.219
 Those who

00:28:16.219 --> 00:28:16.599
 have been

00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:17.139
 commissioned

00:28:17.139 --> 00:28:17.819
 by God

00:28:17.819 --> 00:28:18.740
 to represent

00:28:18.740 --> 00:28:19.599
 his authority.

00:28:20.439 --> 00:28:21.159
 Those who

00:28:21.159 --> 00:28:22.439
 God shares

00:28:22.439 --> 00:28:23.759
 his authority

00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:24.259
 with in

00:28:24.259 --> 00:28:25.179
 giving them

00:28:25.180 --> 00:28:25.700
 permission

00:28:25.700 --> 00:28:27.140
 to oversee

00:28:27.140 --> 00:28:28.279
 the things

00:28:28.279 --> 00:28:28.640
 of this

00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:29.120
 life.

00:28:30.060 --> 00:28:30.480
 He's given

00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:31.340
 them authority

00:28:31.340 --> 00:28:31.820
 but there's

00:28:31.820 --> 00:28:32.620
 also accountability.

00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:33.920
 He's given

00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:35.019
 them responsibility

00:28:35.019 --> 00:28:35.900
 but there's

00:28:35.900 --> 00:28:36.759
 also submission

00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:37.560
 to his

00:28:37.560 --> 00:28:38.100
 authority.

00:28:39.580 --> 00:28:40.340
 Maybe this

00:28:40.340 --> 00:28:40.799
 helps us

00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:41.519
 appreciate the

00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:42.120
 wonder of

00:28:42.120 --> 00:28:42.720
 the psalmist

00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:43.860
 in Psalm 8

00:28:43.860 --> 00:28:44.860
 who says

00:28:44.860 --> 00:28:46.100
 what is man

00:28:46.100 --> 00:28:47.000
 that you are

00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:48.019
 mindful of him?

00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:49.279
 And the son

00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:49.660
 of man

00:28:49.660 --> 00:28:50.200
 that you visit

00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:50.700
 him you have

00:28:50.700 --> 00:28:51.759
 made him a

00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:52.140
 little lower

00:28:52.140 --> 00:28:52.820
 than the angels

00:28:52.820 --> 00:28:54.240
 you have crowned

00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:55.039
 him with

00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:56.319
 glory and

00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:56.720
 honor.

00:28:58.220 --> 00:28:58.420
 You have

00:28:58.420 --> 00:28:58.920
 given him

00:28:58.920 --> 00:28:59.960
 dominion over

00:28:59.960 --> 00:29:00.819
 the works of

00:29:00.819 --> 00:29:01.259
 your hands

00:29:01.259 --> 00:29:01.819
 and you put

00:29:01.819 --> 00:29:02.440
 all things

00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:02.799
 under his

00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:03.079
 feet.

00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:05.119
 Maybe it

00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:06.319
 helps give

00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:06.799
 us a sense

00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:07.139
 of the

00:29:07.139 --> 00:29:07.680
 seriousness

00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:09.379
 of obeying

00:29:09.379 --> 00:29:09.920
 and submitting

00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:10.339
 to the

00:29:10.339 --> 00:29:11.099
 leaders that

00:29:11.099 --> 00:29:11.399
 God has

00:29:11.399 --> 00:29:11.980
 placed over

00:29:11.980 --> 00:29:12.440
 us.

00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:13.399
 There's a

00:29:13.399 --> 00:29:13.839
 passage that

00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:14.200
 was read

00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:15.299
 this morning

00:29:15.299 --> 00:29:15.680
 in Romans

00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:16.259
 13.

00:29:16.879 --> 00:29:17.859
 Be subject

00:29:17.859 --> 00:29:18.839
 to the

00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:19.119
 governing

00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:19.639
 authorities

00:29:19.639 --> 00:29:20.139
 for there

00:29:20.139 --> 00:29:21.139
 is no

00:29:21.139 --> 00:29:22.200
 authority

00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:22.759
 except

00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:23.539
 from

00:29:23.539 --> 00:29:24.180
 God.

00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:25.839
 and those

00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:26.500
 that exist

00:29:26.500 --> 00:29:27.180
 have been

00:29:27.180 --> 00:29:27.920
 instituted

00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:28.659
 by God.

00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:29.579
 They are

00:29:29.579 --> 00:29:30.259
 God's

00:29:30.259 --> 00:29:30.859
 agents

00:29:30.859 --> 00:29:31.240
 with a

00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:31.680
 divine

00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:32.319
 commission

00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:32.920
 to

00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:33.659
 exercise

00:29:33.659 --> 00:29:35.359
 divine

00:29:35.359 --> 00:29:35.899
 authority

00:29:35.899 --> 00:29:36.539
 on the

00:29:36.539 --> 00:29:36.920
 earth

00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:37.759
 under the

00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:38.319
 accountability

00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:39.420
 and submission

00:29:39.420 --> 00:29:40.220
 of God.

00:29:40.220 --> 00:29:42.140
 and I

00:29:42.140 --> 00:29:42.579
 trust

00:29:42.579 --> 00:29:44.279
 this

00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:45.799
 this

00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:46.900
 understanding

00:29:46.900 --> 00:29:47.579
 of this

00:29:47.579 --> 00:29:49.200
 phrase

00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:49.920
 will help

00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:50.900
 us to be

00:29:50.900 --> 00:29:51.559
 blown away

00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:51.880
 with the

00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:52.620
 unbelievable

00:29:52.620 --> 00:29:53.299
 privilege

00:29:53.299 --> 00:29:55.279
 of wearing

00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:55.880
 the divine

00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:56.539
 name that

00:29:56.539 --> 00:29:56.920
 God has

00:29:56.920 --> 00:29:57.779
 given to

00:29:57.779 --> 00:29:58.259
 us and

00:29:58.259 --> 00:29:58.860
 shared with

00:29:58.860 --> 00:29:59.220
 us.

00:29:59.940 --> 00:30:00.559
 We are

00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:01.420
 children of

00:30:01.420 --> 00:30:01.779
 God

00:30:01.779 --> 00:30:03.140
 as we find

00:30:03.140 --> 00:30:03.539
 in 1

00:30:03.539 --> 00:30:04.460
 John 3

00:30:04.460 --> 00:30:04.799
 1.

00:30:05.259 --> 00:30:05.880
 We are

00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:06.799
 sons of

00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:07.460
 God as we

00:30:07.460 --> 00:30:07.940
 find in

00:30:07.940 --> 00:30:09.000
 Romans 8

00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:09.460
 14.

00:30:10.220 --> 00:30:11.200
 In

00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:11.740
 Galatians

00:30:11.740 --> 00:30:12.339
 it says

00:30:12.339 --> 00:30:13.059
 for you

00:30:13.059 --> 00:30:13.700
 are all

00:30:13.700 --> 00:30:14.380
 sons of

00:30:14.380 --> 00:30:14.720
 God

00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:15.180
 through

00:30:15.180 --> 00:30:16.079
 faith

00:30:16.079 --> 00:30:16.640
 in

00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:17.380
 Christ

00:30:17.380 --> 00:30:18.180
 Jesus.

00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:20.460
 God

00:30:20.460 --> 00:30:21.100
 is called

00:30:21.100 --> 00:30:21.319
 our

00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:21.819
 father

00:30:21.819 --> 00:30:22.700
 in

00:30:23.539 --> 00:30:23.920
 6.

00:30:24.360 --> 00:30:24.880
 We are

00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:25.339
 heirs

00:30:25.339 --> 00:30:26.019
 with God

00:30:26.019 --> 00:30:26.240
 in

00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:26.779
 Galatians

00:30:26.779 --> 00:30:27.240

00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:27.880
 7.

00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:29.079
 You are

00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:29.559
 no longer

00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:30.059
 a slave

00:30:30.059 --> 00:30:30.420
 but a

00:30:30.420 --> 00:30:30.700
 son

00:30:30.700 --> 00:30:31.980
 and if

00:30:31.980 --> 00:30:33.100
 a son

00:30:33.100 --> 00:30:33.980
 then an

00:30:33.980 --> 00:30:34.339
 heir

00:30:34.339 --> 00:30:35.200
 of God

00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:35.819
 through

00:30:35.819 --> 00:30:36.579
 Christ.

00:30:36.579 --> 00:30:38.199
 can you

00:30:38.199 --> 00:30:39.019
 conceive

00:30:39.019 --> 00:30:39.659
 of it?

00:30:42.980 --> 00:30:43.879
 We will

00:30:43.879 --> 00:30:44.539
 in some

00:30:44.539 --> 00:30:45.359
 way be

00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:45.980
 like God.

00:30:46.599 --> 00:30:46.960
 In 1

00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:47.500
 John 3

00:30:47.500 --> 00:30:47.879
 2 it

00:30:47.879 --> 00:30:48.039
 says

00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:48.439
 beloved

00:30:48.439 --> 00:30:49.139
 now we

00:30:49.139 --> 00:30:49.220
 are

00:30:49.220 --> 00:30:49.500
 children

00:30:49.500 --> 00:30:49.919
 of God

00:30:49.919 --> 00:30:50.220
 and has

00:30:50.220 --> 00:30:50.980
 not yet

00:30:50.980 --> 00:30:51.259
 been

00:30:51.259 --> 00:30:51.859
 revealed

00:30:51.859 --> 00:30:52.599
 what we

00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:53.139
 shall be

00:30:53.139 --> 00:30:53.500
 but we

00:30:53.500 --> 00:30:53.939
 know that

00:30:53.939 --> 00:30:54.220
 when he

00:30:54.220 --> 00:30:54.939
 is revealed

00:30:54.939 --> 00:30:55.859
 we will

00:30:55.859 --> 00:30:56.519
 be like

00:30:56.519 --> 00:30:56.919
 him

00:30:56.919 --> 00:30:58.000
 for we

00:30:58.000 --> 00:30:58.659
 shall see

00:30:58.659 --> 00:30:59.079
 him as

00:30:59.079 --> 00:30:59.699
 he is.

00:31:01.259 --> 00:31:01.759
 John

00:31:01.759 --> 00:31:02.559
 continuing

00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:03.319
 this theme

00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:03.859
 says in

00:31:03.859 --> 00:31:04.679
 1 John

00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:05.200
 chapter 3

00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:05.720
 7 and 9

00:31:05.720 --> 00:31:05.960
 he says

00:31:05.960 --> 00:31:06.980
 we have

00:31:06.980 --> 00:31:07.720
 the seed

00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:08.440
 of God.

00:31:09.660 --> 00:31:09.840
 Whoever

00:31:09.840 --> 00:31:10.480
 has been

00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:11.120
 born of

00:31:11.120 --> 00:31:11.420
 God

00:31:11.420 --> 00:31:11.940
 does not

00:31:11.940 --> 00:31:12.500
 sin

00:31:12.500 --> 00:31:13.480
 for his

00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:14.160
 seed

00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:15.080
 remains

00:31:15.080 --> 00:31:15.820
 in him

00:31:15.820 --> 00:31:17.080
 and he

00:31:17.080 --> 00:31:17.360
 cannot

00:31:17.360 --> 00:31:17.720
 sin

00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:18.200
 because

00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:18.720
 he has

00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:18.900
 been

00:31:18.900 --> 00:31:19.320
 born

00:31:19.320 --> 00:31:19.539
 of

00:31:19.539 --> 00:31:19.920
 God.

00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:23.320
 We are

00:31:23.320 --> 00:31:23.600
 being

00:31:23.600 --> 00:31:24.400
 transformed

00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:25.580
 into the

00:31:25.580 --> 00:31:25.980
 image of

00:31:25.980 --> 00:31:26.279
 God

00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:26.759
 as we

00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:27.380
 find in

00:31:27.380 --> 00:31:28.100
 2 Corinthians

00:31:28.100 --> 00:31:28.820
 3.18

00:31:28.820 --> 00:31:29.620
 it says

00:31:29.620 --> 00:31:30.580
 but we

00:31:30.580 --> 00:31:31.019
 all

00:31:31.019 --> 00:31:31.759
 with unveiled

00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:32.360
 face

00:31:32.360 --> 00:31:33.580
 beholding

00:31:33.580 --> 00:31:33.940
 as in

00:31:33.940 --> 00:31:34.420
 a mirror

00:31:34.420 --> 00:31:35.400
 the glory

00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:35.920
 of the

00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:36.259
 Lord

00:31:36.259 --> 00:31:36.980
 are being

00:31:36.980 --> 00:31:37.620
 transformed

00:31:37.620 --> 00:31:38.320
 into

00:31:38.320 --> 00:31:39.000
 the

00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:39.720
 same

00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:40.380
 image

00:31:40.380 --> 00:31:41.660
 from

00:31:41.660 --> 00:31:42.259
 glory

00:31:42.259 --> 00:31:43.019
 to glory

00:31:43.019 --> 00:31:43.640
 just

00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:44.600

00:32:28.820 --> 00:32:29.660

00:32:29.660 --> 00:32:30.360

00:32:30.360 --> 00:32:31.060
 independently

00:32:31.059 --> 00:32:31.819
 but comes

00:32:31.819 --> 00:32:32.299
 through

00:32:32.299 --> 00:32:32.919
 accountability

00:32:32.919 --> 00:32:33.799

00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:36.700
 it comes

00:32:36.700 --> 00:32:37.240
 as we

00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:38.240
 bear out

00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:38.899
 the glory

00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:39.940
 world

00:32:39.940 --> 00:32:40.639

00:32:40.639 --> 00:32:41.480
 to make

00:32:41.480 --> 00:32:42.059
 his glory

00:32:42.059 --> 00:32:42.500

00:32:46.099 --> 00:32:47.220
 no wonder

00:32:47.220 --> 00:32:47.599
 why

00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:48.639
 John says

00:32:48.639 --> 00:32:49.359
 behold

00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:51.019
 the love

00:32:51.019 --> 00:32:51.639
 of God

00:32:51.639 --> 00:32:52.500
 he's blown

00:32:52.500 --> 00:32:53.159
 away with

00:32:53.159 --> 00:32:53.779
 the reality

00:32:53.779 --> 00:32:54.619
 the truth

00:32:54.619 --> 00:32:56.159
 the wonder

00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:57.480
 of this

00:32:57.480 --> 00:32:58.180
 fact

00:32:58.180 --> 00:32:59.920
 God

00:32:59.920 --> 00:33:00.200
 has

00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:02.660
 by

00:33:02.660 --> 00:33:03.160
 his

00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:03.680
 grace

00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:04.620
 allowed

00:33:04.620 --> 00:33:05.000
 us to

00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:05.220
 share

00:33:05.220 --> 00:33:05.680
 with him

00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:06.519
 in all

00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:07.120
 things

00:33:07.120 --> 00:33:07.980
 that belong

00:33:07.980 --> 00:33:08.420
 to him

00:33:08.420 --> 00:33:10.620
 unbelievable

00:33:10.620 --> 00:33:13.100
 unbelievable

00:33:13.100 --> 00:33:14.840
 but with

00:33:14.840 --> 00:33:16.100
 privilege

00:33:16.100 --> 00:33:16.960
 comes

00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:18.240
 incredible

00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:19.000
 responsibility

00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:21.540
 and this

00:33:21.540 --> 00:33:21.960
 is where

00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:22.240
 Jesus

00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:22.720
 takes it

00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:23.019
 next

00:33:23.019 --> 00:33:23.560
 in verses

00:33:23.560 --> 00:33:24.240
 37 to

00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:24.519
 38

00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:24.860
 now that

00:33:24.860 --> 00:33:25.100
 he has

00:33:25.099 --> 00:33:26.059
 moved

00:33:26.059 --> 00:33:26.980
 the

00:33:26.980 --> 00:33:28.459
 issue

00:33:28.459 --> 00:33:28.719
 of

00:33:28.719 --> 00:33:29.339
 blasphemy

00:33:29.339 --> 00:33:29.659
 to the

00:33:29.659 --> 00:33:30.000
 side

00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:30.839
 now he

00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:31.659
 wants

00:33:31.659 --> 00:33:32.319
 these

00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:32.939
 Jews

00:33:32.939 --> 00:33:33.559
 to see

00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:34.419
 the full

00:33:34.419 --> 00:33:35.199
 glory

00:33:35.199 --> 00:33:35.619
 of his

00:33:35.619 --> 00:33:36.000
 works

00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:38.240
 he says

00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:40.319
 if I am

00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:40.779
 not doing

00:33:40.779 --> 00:33:41.179
 the works

00:33:41.179 --> 00:33:41.500
 of my

00:33:41.500 --> 00:33:41.899
 father

00:33:41.899 --> 00:33:42.359
 then do

00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:42.799
 not believe

00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:43.059
 me

00:33:43.059 --> 00:33:44.399
 but if

00:33:44.399 --> 00:33:44.939
 I do

00:33:44.939 --> 00:33:45.299
 them

00:33:45.299 --> 00:33:45.740
 even

00:33:45.740 --> 00:33:46.119
 though

00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:46.480
 you do

00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:46.719
 not

00:33:46.719 --> 00:33:47.079
 believe

00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:47.359
 me

00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:48.079
 believe

00:33:48.079 --> 00:33:48.719
 the

00:33:48.719 --> 00:33:49.219
 works

00:33:49.219 --> 00:33:49.740
 that

00:33:49.740 --> 00:33:49.959
 you

00:33:49.959 --> 00:33:50.219
 may

00:33:50.219 --> 00:33:50.599
 know

00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:50.799
 and

00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:51.379
 understand

00:33:51.379 --> 00:33:52.279
 that

00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:52.480
 the

00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:52.879
 father

00:33:52.879 --> 00:33:53.480
 is

00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:53.659
 in

00:33:53.659 --> 00:33:54.019
 me

00:33:54.019 --> 00:33:54.539
 and

00:33:54.539 --> 00:33:55.019
 I

00:33:55.019 --> 00:33:55.220
 am

00:33:55.220 --> 00:33:55.500
 in

00:33:55.500 --> 00:33:55.720
 the

00:33:55.720 --> 00:33:56.019
 father

00:33:56.019 --> 00:33:57.460
 he

00:33:57.460 --> 00:33:57.700
 has

00:33:57.700 --> 00:33:58.940
 neutralized

00:33:58.940 --> 00:33:59.460
 this

00:33:59.460 --> 00:34:00.259
 antagonism

00:34:00.259 --> 00:34:01.379
 he

00:34:01.379 --> 00:34:01.519
 has

00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:01.859
 taken

00:34:01.859 --> 00:34:02.240
 the

00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:02.779
 stinger

00:34:02.779 --> 00:34:03.160
 out

00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:03.279
 of

00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:03.440
 their

00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:04.359
 accusation

00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:05.759
 so again

00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:06.259
 they can

00:34:06.259 --> 00:34:07.059
 stand

00:34:07.059 --> 00:34:08.059
 on the

00:34:08.059 --> 00:34:09.360
 edge

00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:09.840
 of

00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:10.280
 the

00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:10.719
 wonder

00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:10.960
 of

00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:11.099
 the

00:34:11.099 --> 00:34:11.480
 glory

00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:11.679
 of

00:34:11.679 --> 00:34:11.820
 God

00:34:11.820 --> 00:34:12.159
 and

00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:12.559
 take

00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:12.679
 it

00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:12.840
 in

00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:13.159
 and

00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:13.639
 drink

00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:13.960
 in

00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:14.179
 the

00:34:14.179 --> 00:34:14.519
 wonder

00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:14.719
 of

00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:15.019
 God

00:34:15.019 --> 00:34:16.639
 as

00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:17.239
 evidenced

00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:17.820
 through

00:34:17.820 --> 00:34:18.139
 his

00:34:18.139 --> 00:34:18.539
 works

00:34:18.539 --> 00:34:19.039
 the

00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:19.420
 works

00:34:19.420 --> 00:34:19.679
 of the

00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:20.059
 father

00:34:20.059 --> 00:34:20.980
 bearing

00:34:21.300 --> 00:34:21.420
 in

00:34:21.420 --> 00:34:21.539
 the

00:34:21.539 --> 00:34:21.860
 person

00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:21.840
 makes

00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:22.000
 this

00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:22.420
 appeal

00:36:22.420 --> 00:36:22.840
 at

00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:22.920
 the

00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:23.059

00:36:23.059 --> 00:36:23.179
 of

00:36:23.780 --> 00:36:24.159
 he

00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:24.380
 says

00:36:24.380 --> 00:36:24.699
 this

00:36:24.699 --> 00:36:26.460
 he

00:36:26.460 --> 00:36:26.820
 says

00:36:26.820 --> 00:36:28.039
 I'm

00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:28.259

00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:29.119
 you

00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:29.280

 know

00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:30.400
 and

00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:30.860
 understand

00:36:30.860 --> 00:36:31.300
 that

00:36:31.300 --> 00:36:31.440
 the

00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:31.800
 father

00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:33.239
 I

00:36:33.239 --> 00:36:33.400
 am

00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:33.599

 the

 father

00:36:34.139 --> 00:36:35.759
 two

00:36:35.759 --> 00:36:36.300
 times

00:36:36.300 --> 00:36:36.480
 he

00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:36.780
 uses

00:36:36.780 --> 00:36:36.980
 the

00:36:38.699 --> 00:36:38.900
 is

00:36:38.900 --> 00:36:39.059
 to

00:36:39.059 --> 00:36:39.559
 use

00:36:39.559 --> 00:36:39.719
 the

00:36:39.980 --> 00:36:40.139
 of

00:36:40.139 --> 00:36:40.500
 a

00:36:40.500 --> 00:36:41.039
 flash

00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:41.239
 of

00:36:41.239 --> 00:36:41.619
 knowledge

00:36:41.619 --> 00:36:41.800
 that

00:36:41.800 --> 00:36:42.200
 comes

00:36:42.200 --> 00:36:42.420
 but

00:36:42.420 --> 00:36:42.800
 the

00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:43.080
 second

00:36:43.080 --> 00:36:43.280

00:36:44.019 --> 00:36:44.240
 which

00:36:44.240 --> 00:36:44.380
 is

00:36:44.380 --> 00:36:44.580
 this

00:36:44.580 --> 00:36:45.260
 continuing

00:36:45.260 --> 00:36:45.840
 knowledge

00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:46.039
 he

00:36:46.039 --> 00:36:46.700
 wants

00:36:46.700 --> 00:36:46.920
 them

00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:47.300
 to

00:36:47.300 --> 00:36:47.900
 see

00:36:47.900 --> 00:36:48.060
 it

00:36:48.060 --> 00:36:48.500
 as

00:36:48.500 --> 00:36:48.620
 it

00:36:48.620 --> 00:36:48.860
 is

00:36:48.860 --> 00:36:49.080
 and

 continue

00:36:50.220 --> 00:36:50.500
 in

00:36:50.500 --> 00:36:51.019
 knowledge

00:36:51.019 --> 00:36:52.120
 that

00:36:52.120 --> 00:36:52.440
 leads

00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:52.640
 them

00:36:52.640 --> 00:36:52.760
 to

00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:53.420
 relationship

00:36:53.420 --> 00:36:54.039
 with

 God

00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:55.880
 let

00:36:55.880 --> 00:36:56.140
 that

00:36:56.140 --> 00:36:56.620
 knowledge

00:36:56.620 --> 00:36:56.940
 break

00:36:56.940 --> 00:36:57.200
 through

00:36:57.200 --> 00:36:57.440
 and

00:36:57.440 --> 00:36:57.860
 continue

00:36:57.860 --> 00:36:58.039
 in

00:36:58.039 --> 00:36:58.160
 your

00:36:58.160 --> 00:36:58.560
 life

00:36:58.560 --> 00:37:00.420
 continue

00:37:00.420 --> 00:37:01.420
 the

00:37:01.420 --> 00:37:01.840
 grace

00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:02.100
 of

00:37:02.100 --> 00:37:02.400
 God

00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:02.640
 through

00:37:02.640 --> 00:37:03.160
 Christ

00:37:03.160 --> 00:37:04.200
 to

00:37:04.200 --> 00:37:04.660
 counterfeit

00:37:04.660 --> 00:37:04.920
 sheep

00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:05.420
 we see

00:37:05.420 --> 00:37:05.760
 this

00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:06.680
 marvelous

00:37:06.680 --> 00:37:07.260
 grace

00:37:07.260 --> 00:37:07.860
 of

00:37:07.860 --> 00:37:08.180
 Jesus

00:37:08.180 --> 00:37:09.280
 another

00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:09.800
 appeal

00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:10.640
 another

00:37:10.640 --> 00:37:11.100
 offer

00:37:11.100 --> 00:37:11.400
 another

00:37:11.400 --> 00:37:12.059
 invitation

00:37:12.059 --> 00:37:13.820
 but the

00:37:13.820 --> 00:37:14.200
 Jews

00:37:14.200 --> 00:37:15.300
 here

00:37:15.300 --> 00:37:15.639
 in our

00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:16.119
 story

00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:17.639
 are unwilling

00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:18.340
 to respond

00:37:18.340 --> 00:37:18.800
 in a way

00:37:18.800 --> 00:37:19.539
 that would be

00:37:19.539 --> 00:37:20.400
 redemptive

00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:22.000
 in verses

00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:22.900
 39 to 42

00:37:22.900 --> 00:37:24.000
 quickly we'll see

00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:24.579
 the final

00:37:24.579 --> 00:37:25.099
 assessment

00:37:25.099 --> 00:37:26.599
 the final

00:37:26.599 --> 00:37:27.260
 assessment

00:37:27.260 --> 00:37:27.880
 what will

00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:28.519
 they do

00:37:28.519 --> 00:37:29.880
 what will

00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:30.820
 their skeptic

00:37:30.820 --> 00:37:31.660
 heart do

00:37:31.660 --> 00:37:31.980
 with the

00:37:31.980 --> 00:37:32.440
 information

00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:32.840
 that they

00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:33.400
 have just

00:37:33.400 --> 00:37:34.139
 become aware

00:37:34.139 --> 00:37:34.559
 of

00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:36.300
 verse 39

00:37:36.300 --> 00:37:37.100
 and they

00:37:37.100 --> 00:37:37.560
 sought

00:37:37.560 --> 00:37:38.600
 to arrest

00:37:38.600 --> 00:37:38.920
 him

00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:39.760
 but he

00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:40.280
 escaped

00:37:40.280 --> 00:37:40.660
 from their

00:37:40.660 --> 00:37:41.000
 hands

00:37:41.000 --> 00:37:43.220
 the Jews

00:37:43.220 --> 00:37:43.800
 sought

00:37:43.800 --> 00:37:44.519
 to seize

00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:44.740
 him

00:37:44.740 --> 00:37:46.580
 here again

00:37:46.580 --> 00:37:47.780
 the Jews

00:37:47.780 --> 00:37:48.019
 are

00:37:48.019 --> 00:37:49.120
 antagonistic

00:37:49.120 --> 00:37:50.200
 the Jews

00:37:50.200 --> 00:37:50.800
 having all

00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:51.480
 the evidence

00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:52.320
 that they

00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:52.800
 need

00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:53.680
 to compile

00:37:53.680 --> 00:37:55.240
 the right

00:37:55.240 --> 00:37:55.720
 assessment

00:37:55.720 --> 00:37:56.560
 of Jesus

00:37:56.560 --> 00:37:56.880
 in his

00:37:56.880 --> 00:37:57.300
 life

00:37:57.300 --> 00:37:58.940
 instead

00:37:58.940 --> 00:37:59.740
 turn a

00:37:59.740 --> 00:38:00.240
 blind eye

00:38:00.240 --> 00:38:01.019
 and a

00:38:01.019 --> 00:38:01.539
 hard heart

00:38:01.539 --> 00:38:02.760
 and reject

00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:03.360
 their

00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:03.760
 Messiah

00:38:03.760 --> 00:38:05.800
 fortunately

00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:06.200
 the story

00:38:06.200 --> 00:38:07.060
 doesn't

00:38:07.060 --> 00:38:07.660
 end there

00:38:07.660 --> 00:38:08.980
 it moves

00:38:08.980 --> 00:38:09.840
 to verses

00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:11.520
 40 to 42

00:38:11.520 --> 00:38:12.180
 and we see

00:38:12.180 --> 00:38:12.940
 although the

00:38:12.940 --> 00:38:14.060
 Jewish leaders

00:38:14.060 --> 00:38:16.000
 were antagonistic

00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:16.380
 and sought

00:38:16.380 --> 00:38:17.060
 to seize

00:38:17.060 --> 00:38:17.500
 Jesus

00:38:17.500 --> 00:38:18.420
 we find

00:38:18.420 --> 00:38:19.340
 the crowd

00:38:19.340 --> 00:38:20.780
 actually

00:38:20.780 --> 00:38:21.600
 believes

00:38:21.600 --> 00:38:23.220
 the crowd

00:38:23.220 --> 00:38:23.780
 believes

00:38:23.780 --> 00:38:25.200
 he went away

00:38:25.200 --> 00:38:26.260
 again across

00:38:26.260 --> 00:38:26.740
 the Jordan

00:38:26.740 --> 00:38:27.560
 to the place

00:38:27.560 --> 00:38:28.120
 where John

00:38:28.120 --> 00:38:28.420
 had been

00:38:28.420 --> 00:38:29.060
 baptizing

00:38:29.060 --> 00:38:29.720
 at first

00:38:29.720 --> 00:38:30.540
 and there

00:38:30.540 --> 00:38:31.160
 he remained

00:38:31.160 --> 00:38:32.420
 and many

00:38:32.420 --> 00:38:33.360
 came to him

00:38:33.360 --> 00:38:34.059
 and they

00:38:34.059 --> 00:38:34.640
 said

00:38:34.640 --> 00:38:35.539
 John

00:38:35.539 --> 00:38:35.960
 did no

00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:36.360
 sign

00:38:36.360 --> 00:38:37.940
 but everything

00:38:37.940 --> 00:38:38.579
 that John

00:38:38.579 --> 00:38:39.160
 said about

00:38:39.160 --> 00:38:39.599
 this man

00:38:39.599 --> 00:38:40.160
 was true

00:38:40.160 --> 00:38:41.460
 and many

00:38:41.460 --> 00:38:42.200
 believed

00:38:42.200 --> 00:38:42.460
 in him

00:38:42.460 --> 00:38:42.680
 there

00:38:42.680 --> 00:38:44.180
 we find

00:38:44.180 --> 00:38:44.420
 that the

00:38:44.420 --> 00:38:44.760
 crowd

00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:45.440
 chose

00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:46.360
 to believe

00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:48.200
 they saw

00:38:48.200 --> 00:38:48.820
 the works

00:38:48.820 --> 00:38:50.180
 they identify

00:38:50.180 --> 00:38:51.140
 the work

00:38:51.140 --> 00:38:51.400
 of the

00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:51.760
 father

00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:52.500
 in Jesus

00:38:52.500 --> 00:38:53.840
 they see

00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:54.120
 that there's

00:38:54.120 --> 00:38:54.380
 something

00:38:54.380 --> 00:38:55.120
 distinctive

00:38:55.120 --> 00:38:55.780
 about him

00:38:55.780 --> 00:38:57.300
 he is

00:38:57.300 --> 00:38:57.800
 the Messiah

00:38:57.800 --> 00:38:58.460
 he is

00:38:58.460 --> 00:38:58.940

00:39:04.780 --> 00:39:05.180

 hearts

00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:08.260
 are caught

 up in

00:39:08.660 --> 00:39:09.000
 faith

00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:09.400
 to him

00:39:09.400 --> 00:39:09.800
 and many

00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:10.420
 believe

00:39:10.420 --> 00:39:10.700
 in his

00:39:10.700 --> 00:39:11.000
 name

00:39:11.000 --> 00:39:12.599
 oh the

00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:12.980
 power

00:39:12.980 --> 00:39:14.300
 of works

00:39:14.300 --> 00:39:15.059
 the power

00:39:15.059 --> 00:39:16.180
 of a

00:39:16.180 --> 00:39:16.820
 life

00:39:16.820 --> 00:39:17.639
 that bears

00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:18.059
 forth

00:39:18.059 --> 00:39:18.980
 the works

00:39:22.420 --> 00:39:22.820

00:39:27.820 --> 00:39:28.720

00:39:30.579 --> 00:39:31.079
 true

00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:31.539
 identity

00:39:31.539 --> 00:39:33.079
 do you

00:39:33.079 --> 00:39:33.259

 address

00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:35.559
 or answer

00:39:35.559 --> 00:39:36.440
 the skeptic

00:39:36.440 --> 00:39:36.759
 heart

00:39:36.759 --> 00:39:38.500
 what do

00:39:38.500 --> 00:39:39.019

00:39:39.779 --> 00:39:40.300
 the God

 that you

00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:41.420
 believe in

00:39:41.420 --> 00:39:42.659
 what do

00:39:42.659 --> 00:39:43.519
 your works

00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:44.940
 say about

00:39:44.940 --> 00:39:45.599
 the Messiah

00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:46.279
 about your

00:39:46.279 --> 00:39:46.759
 savior

00:39:46.759 --> 00:39:48.440
 you say

00:39:48.440 --> 00:39:48.759
 you're a

00:39:48.759 --> 00:39:49.219
 child of

00:39:49.219 --> 00:39:49.519
 God

00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:50.860
 you say

00:39:50.860 --> 00:39:51.340
 you're a

00:39:51.340 --> 00:39:51.659
 son of

00:39:51.659 --> 00:39:51.960
 the most

00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:52.300
 high

00:39:52.300 --> 00:39:53.679
 you say

00:39:53.679 --> 00:39:54.000
 you're a

00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:54.320

00:39:55.500 --> 00:39:56.019
 salvation

00:39:56.019 --> 00:39:58.639
 I wonder

00:39:58.639 --> 00:39:59.219
 how many

00:39:59.219 --> 00:39:59.759
 times

00:39:59.759 --> 00:40:01.219
 you like

00:40:01.219 --> 00:40:01.739
 me have

00:40:01.739 --> 00:40:02.639
 blasphemed

00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:04.199
 the name

00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:04.719
 of God

00:40:04.719 --> 00:40:05.199
 through

00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:05.860
 our

00:40:05.860 --> 00:40:06.460
 works

00:40:06.460 --> 00:40:08.320
 there is a

00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:09.139
 confessional

00:40:09.139 --> 00:40:10.059
 aspect of

00:40:10.059 --> 00:40:10.840
 blasphemy

00:40:10.840 --> 00:40:11.239
 but there is

00:40:11.239 --> 00:40:12.259
 also the

00:40:12.259 --> 00:40:13.059
 working out

00:40:13.059 --> 00:40:14.039
 of a life

00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:14.679
 of blasphemy

00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:15.159
 that is not

00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:15.800
 consistent

00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:16.380
 with the

00:40:16.380 --> 00:40:17.159
 title that

00:40:17.159 --> 00:40:17.460
 we've been

 the divine

00:40:20.579 --> 00:40:20.920
 name

00:40:20.920 --> 00:40:21.519
 we've been

00:40:21.519 --> 00:40:22.079
 called

00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:23.000
 sons of

00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:23.280

00:40:25.579 --> 00:40:26.079
 life

00:40:26.079 --> 00:40:27.219
 blaspheme

00:40:27.219 --> 00:40:27.880
 that name

00:40:27.880 --> 00:40:29.019
 through works

00:40:29.019 --> 00:40:29.259
 that are

00:40:29.259 --> 00:40:29.920
 inconsistent

00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:30.940
 with the

00:40:30.940 --> 00:40:31.359
 commission

00:40:31.359 --> 00:40:31.719

 may see

00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:39.299
 your good

00:40:55.940 --> 00:40:56.280
 and don't

 opponents

00:40:58.460 --> 00:40:59.740
 this is a

00:40:59.740 --> 00:41:00.680
 clear sign

00:41:00.680 --> 00:41:01.200
 to them

00:41:01.200 --> 00:41:01.720
 of their

00:41:01.720 --> 00:41:02.240
 destruction

00:41:02.240 --> 00:41:02.980
 but of

 your

 salvation

00:42:38.100 --> 00:42:38.580
 to us

00:42:38.580 --> 00:42:38.900
 is to

 do what

00:42:40.020 --> 00:42:40.400
 Paul

00:42:43.660 --> 00:42:44.560
 yourselves

00:42:51.879 --> 00:42:52.579
 consistent

00:42:52.579 --> 00:42:53.940
 is it

00:42:53.940 --> 00:42:54.339
 consistent

00:42:54.339 --> 00:42:54.659
 with the

00:42:54.659 --> 00:42:54.980
 life

00:42:54.980 --> 00:42:55.279
 that you

00:43:00.460 --> 00:43:01.119
 at times

00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:01.440
 it's a

00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:01.699
 critical

00:43:01.699 --> 00:43:02.099
 spirit

00:43:05.339 --> 00:43:06.839
 sometimes

00:43:06.839 --> 00:43:07.639
 for us

00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:07.839
 it's

00:43:07.839 --> 00:43:08.359
 fear

00:43:08.359 --> 00:43:09.299
 or anxiety

00:43:25.100 --> 00:43:26.080
 set ourselves
