00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:04.660
 Turn in your Bibles please to Genesis, Genesis chapter 5.

00:00:10.460 --> 00:00:11.400
 Thanks Rob.

00:00:18.859 --> 00:00:24.160
 Genesis chapter 5, starting at verse 1. We're going to read the whole chapter together.

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:33.460
 I could have been very mean and asked someone to read this chapter, but as we get into it,

00:00:33.500 --> 00:00:36.519
 you'll understand why I spare you.

00:00:54.159 --> 00:01:03.879
 Well, let's read together. This is God's Word, all of it recorded for our good and for our blessings.

00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:06.179
 So let's read from verse 1.

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.420
 This is the written account of Adam's family line.

00:01:11.420 --> 00:01:14.819
 When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God.

00:01:14.979 --> 00:01:17.679
 He created them male and female and blessed them.

00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.579
 And he named them mankind when they were created.

00:01:21.579 --> 00:01:27.299
 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image.

00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:29.480
 And he named him Seth.

00:01:30.219 --> 00:01:35.259
 After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters.

00:01:35.780 --> 00:01:39.819
 Altogether, Adam lived a total of 930 years and then he died.

00:01:40.980 --> 00:01:44.900
 When Seth had lived 105 years, he became the father of Enoch.

00:01:44.900 --> 00:01:53.040
 And when he became the father of Enoch, Seth lived 107 years and had other sons and daughters.

00:01:53.940 --> 00:01:59.060
 Altogether, Seth lived a total of 912 years and then he died.

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:04.180
 When Enoch had lived 90 years, he became the father of Kenan.

00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:11.759
 After he became the father of Kenan, Enoch lived 815 years and had other sons and daughters.

00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:17.939
 Altogether, Enoch lived a total of 905 years and then he died.

00:02:19.019 --> 00:02:23.620
 When Kenan had lived 70 years, he became the father of Mahalel.

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:31.399
 After he became the father of Mahalel, Kenan lived 840 years and had other sons and daughters.

00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:38.060
 Altogether, Kenan lived a total of 910 years and then he died.

00:02:38.060 --> 00:02:44.340
 When Mahalel had lived 65 years, he became the father of Jared.

00:02:45.219 --> 00:02:51.960
 After he became the father of Jared, Mahalel lived 830 years and, well, he had other sons and daughters.

00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:59.039
 Altogether, Mahalel lived a total of 895 years and then he died.

00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:04.439
 When Jared had lived 162 years, he became the father of Enoch.

00:03:05.060 --> 00:03:10.199
 After he became the father of Enoch, Jared lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters.

00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:15.799
 Altogether, Jared lived a total of 962 years and then he died.

00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.939
 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah.

00:03:20.939 --> 00:03:28.479
 After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters.

00:03:29.340 --> 00:03:33.280
 Altogether, Enoch lived a total of 365 years.

00:03:34.079 --> 00:03:35.859
 Enoch walked faithfully with God.

00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.379
 Then he was no more because God took him away.

00:03:40.740 --> 00:03:45.960
 When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech.

00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:53.159
 After he became the father of Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years and had other sons and daughters.

00:03:53.920 --> 00:04:00.879
 Altogether, Methuselah lived a total of 969 years and then he died.

00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:05.480
 When Lamech had lived 182 years, he had a son.

00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.719
 He named him Noah and said,

00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:16.600
 He will comfort us in the labour and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the Lord has cursed.

00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:24.319
 After Noah was born, Lamech lived 595 years and had other sons and daughters.

00:04:25.100 --> 00:04:29.920
 Altogether, Lamech lived a total of 777 years.

00:04:30.779 --> 00:04:31.959
 And then he died.

00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:39.919
 After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham and Jephthah.

00:04:41.259 --> 00:04:43.659
 Well, interesting.

00:04:44.500 --> 00:04:45.319
 Let's pray.

00:04:45.319 --> 00:05:03.120
 Father, we thank you that every person created and every name recorded is precious to you.

00:05:05.539 --> 00:05:11.680
 Just as we are precious to you and our names are known to you,

00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.620
 you know us intimately.

00:05:17.019 --> 00:05:19.420
 You knew the day we were born.

00:05:20.980 --> 00:05:23.920
 And you know the day of our passing.

00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:32.480
 And so we pray and ask that you, Father God, the Lord of Life,

00:05:33.980 --> 00:05:35.920
 would speak to us all today.

00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:42.680
 Speak to us in such a way as if we are hearing your very words,

00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:48.259
 that you may cause us to look to you in faith

00:05:48.259 --> 00:05:52.060
 and trust you for life.

00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:55.379
 In Jesus' name we pray.

00:05:56.259 --> 00:05:56.759
 Amen.

00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:02.560
 Well, what's the point?

00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:10.300
 Why bother reading a boring list of names that no one can properly pronounce?

00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:12.780
 It's like counting sheep.

00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:14.959
 It would put you to sleep.

00:06:16.660 --> 00:06:20.860
 Well, these genealogies, these lists of names that we have in Genesis

00:06:20.860 --> 00:06:24.939
 are crucial to the story of God's promise of redemption.

00:06:25.660 --> 00:06:27.680
 Look how it's introduced in verse 1.

00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:32.360
 This is the written account of Adam's family line.

00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:38.900
 The purpose is to help us follow God's redemptive plan

00:06:38.900 --> 00:06:42.280
 through God's chosen family.

00:06:42.699 --> 00:06:47.500
 To follow God's redemptive plan through God's chosen family.

00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.800
 Remember, God had promised that a seed from the woman,

00:06:51.259 --> 00:06:53.600
 one of her offspring, a son would come

00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.939
 who was going to destroy the work of Satan.

00:06:56.939 --> 00:07:00.519
 The seed would crush Satan's head.

00:07:01.579 --> 00:07:05.079
 A son would come and redeem broken lives

00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.879
 and restore this disordered world.

00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:14.339
 And that promise is traced through the son of Adam and Eve.

00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.000
 So go back to chapter 4, verse 1.

00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:23.339
 Adam made love to his wife Eve and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain.

00:07:23.339 --> 00:07:28.860
 She said, with the help of the Lord, I have brought forth a man.

00:07:29.860 --> 00:07:35.439
 Expectations are running high that Cain is the promised redeemer.

00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:41.300
 But instead of defeating Satan, Cain sided with Satan

00:07:41.300 --> 00:07:44.079
 because he murdered his brother Abel.

00:07:45.699 --> 00:07:47.399
 But all is not lost.

00:07:48.300 --> 00:07:51.139
 Look at the end of chapter 4, verse 25.

00:07:51.139 --> 00:07:57.339
 Adam made love to his wife again and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth,

00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:03.979
 saying, God has granted me another child in place of Abel since Cain killed him.

00:08:04.860 --> 00:08:08.240
 God's promise of a deliverer would come,

00:08:08.719 --> 00:08:10.860
 but not through the family line of Cain,

00:08:11.719 --> 00:08:15.060
 but through the family line of Seth.

00:08:15.060 --> 00:08:21.160
 You see, these names that are listed for us in chapter 5

00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:24.620
 is not a boring genealogy.

00:08:25.860 --> 00:08:29.220
 They are reminders of God's promise.

00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:34.200
 Every name written, every generation that passes

00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:38.840
 should encourage our faith that God is working out his plan of redemption.

00:08:40.059 --> 00:08:44.679
 In the course of history, people may reject God and rebel against God,

00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:48.939
 but no one and nothing can stop what God has promised.

00:08:51.139 --> 00:08:56.739
 Not surprisingly, the New Testament opens up with a genealogy.

00:08:57.500 --> 00:09:03.620
 Keep your finger in Genesis 5 and jump all the way to Luke chapter 3.

00:09:04.439 --> 00:09:07.079
 In the New Testament, Luke chapter 3.

00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:15.400
 Just as Genesis opens with the genealogy of the family line of Adam,

00:09:16.500 --> 00:09:20.740
 so the New Testament opens with a genealogy.

00:09:20.860 --> 00:09:26.480
 Luke chapter 3, and we're going to pick it up in the middle of verse 22.

00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:33.160
 Here the author Luke introduces us to Jesus.

00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:36.980
 Jesus at his baptism.

00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:43.199
 And during the baptism, verse 22,

00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:46.279
 middle of verse 22, a voice came from heaven.

00:09:46.959 --> 00:09:47.959
 God is speaking.

00:09:48.659 --> 00:09:50.879
 You are my son,

00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:52.659
 whom I love.

00:09:52.740 --> 00:09:54.299
 With you I am well pleased.

00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:58.699
 Now Jesus himself was about 33 years old

00:09:58.699 --> 00:10:00.159
 when he began his ministry.

00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:02.459
 He was the son,

00:10:02.860 --> 00:10:05.000
 so it was thought of Joseph,

00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:06.480
 the son of Heli,

00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:07.559
 the son of Matat,

00:10:07.659 --> 00:10:08.419
 the son of Levi,

00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:09.559
 the son of Melchi,

00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:10.600
 the son of Janai,

00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:11.579
 the son of Joseph.

00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:14.699
 We won't keep going.

00:10:14.819 --> 00:10:16.279
 Let's jump to verse 37.

00:10:17.299 --> 00:10:19.600
 The son of Methuselah,

00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:22.039
 the son of Enoch,

00:10:22.699 --> 00:10:24.019
 the son of Jared,

00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:26.339
 the son of Mahalel,

00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:27.879
 the son of Kenan,

00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:29.019
 the son of Enosh,

00:10:29.500 --> 00:10:30.840
 the son of Seth,

00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:32.939
 the son of Adam,

00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:35.279
 the son of God.

00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.000
 Go back to Genesis 5.

00:10:39.139 --> 00:10:39.480
 You see,

00:10:39.659 --> 00:10:44.320
 God always delivers on his promise.

00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:46.200
 Of course,

00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:47.939
 it doesn't always look that way.

00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:50.899
 Humanity is suffering and struggling.

00:10:51.100 --> 00:10:51.559
 The world,

00:10:51.700 --> 00:10:52.700
 the physical world,

00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:53.960
 is creaking and groaning.

00:10:54.259 --> 00:10:56.220
 It seems like we're in free fall.

00:10:56.220 --> 00:10:58.220
 Well, all these genealogies,

00:10:59.019 --> 00:11:02.259
 the promised Redeemer would come,

00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:03.800
 and he did come.

00:11:04.580 --> 00:11:07.259
 He came in the person of Jesus.

00:11:08.379 --> 00:11:11.920
 So whenever you think that life is out of control,

00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:16.100
 re-read your genealogies.

00:11:16.500 --> 00:11:19.320
 Plod through those unpronounceable names,

00:11:19.460 --> 00:11:21.379
 and as each generation passes,

00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:23.320
 as we tick off every year,

00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:24.920
 remind yourself,

00:11:25.660 --> 00:11:27.180
 God is in control.

00:11:28.400 --> 00:11:30.940
 God delivers on his promise.

00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:33.540
 God is redeeming humanity,

00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:36.379
 and he will restore this broken world.

00:11:36.680 --> 00:11:38.379
 Rather than put you to sleep,

00:11:38.660 --> 00:11:41.220
 it's going to build your faith.

00:11:41.220 --> 00:11:46.660
 Well, we're getting ahead of ourselves,

00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:47.220
 aren't we?

00:11:48.259 --> 00:11:48.759
 You see,

00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:50.680
 this genealogy of Adam

00:11:50.680 --> 00:11:55.480
 is not just history in the past.

00:11:56.560 --> 00:11:58.019
 It's our story

00:11:58.019 --> 00:12:00.540
 and our future to come.

00:12:01.379 --> 00:12:03.500
 It's a story that moves us

00:12:03.500 --> 00:12:05.860
 from death into life.

00:12:05.860 --> 00:12:08.680
 Three things we're going to see

00:12:08.680 --> 00:12:10.080
 about ourselves

00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:12.659
 from this list of names.

00:12:13.560 --> 00:12:14.159
 First,

00:12:15.419 --> 00:12:17.680
 our family likeness.

00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:19.840
 Our family likeness.

00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.759
 The beginning of Adam's family line

00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:24.019
 reminds us of

00:12:24.019 --> 00:12:26.620
 our own family line.

00:12:27.460 --> 00:12:28.100
 First,

00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.340
 we're created in the likeness

00:12:31.340 --> 00:12:32.220
 of God.

00:12:32.340 --> 00:12:33.320
 Look at verse 1.

00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:35.520
 When God created mankind,

00:12:35.900 --> 00:12:37.820
 he made them in the likeness

00:12:37.820 --> 00:12:38.920
 of God.

00:12:39.700 --> 00:12:41.520
 It reminds us straight out

00:12:41.520 --> 00:12:43.440
 that we were created

00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.360
 to be like God.

00:12:47.140 --> 00:12:48.740
 For as we've seen already

00:12:48.740 --> 00:12:49.920
 in God's image,

00:12:50.280 --> 00:12:51.920
 when you look in a mirror,

00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:54.060
 as you did this morning,

00:12:54.220 --> 00:12:56.140
 you see a reflection of yourself.

00:12:56.280 --> 00:12:57.780
 It's not your true self,

00:12:58.300 --> 00:13:00.540
 but an image of yourself.

00:13:00.540 --> 00:13:02.900
 You see something of your likeness.

00:13:02.899 --> 00:13:03.439
 Now,

00:13:03.539 --> 00:13:04.860
 God has created us

00:13:04.860 --> 00:13:05.379
 to be

00:13:05.379 --> 00:13:07.299
 his likeness,

00:13:07.419 --> 00:13:08.759
 to reflect him.

00:13:08.860 --> 00:13:09.699
 We are to be a

00:13:09.699 --> 00:13:11.360
 visible representation

00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.379
 of the invisible God.

00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:14.379
 We are here

00:13:14.379 --> 00:13:15.100
 to display

00:13:15.100 --> 00:13:15.799
 his love,

00:13:15.899 --> 00:13:16.439
 his justice,

00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:17.179
 his mercy,

00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:18.319
 his purity.

00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:19.879
 God's intention

00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:20.419
 is that

00:13:20.419 --> 00:13:21.519
 he is reflected

00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:23.879
 in human form

00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:24.639
 and character.

00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:26.059
 So,

00:13:26.139 --> 00:13:27.120
 God wonderfully

00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:27.960
 creates

00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:28.840
 mankind

00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:31.000
 in his likeness,

00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:32.220
 and we have been

00:13:32.220 --> 00:13:32.919
 created

00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:35.620
 in that likeness.

00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:37.820
 Now,

00:13:37.860 --> 00:13:38.740
 God's likeness

00:13:38.740 --> 00:13:39.360
 is seen

00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:41.539
 in mankind.

00:13:42.539 --> 00:13:43.059
 Verse 2,

00:13:43.139 --> 00:13:44.120
 he created them

00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:46.340
 male and female

00:13:46.340 --> 00:13:47.879
 and blessed them

00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:48.759
 and he named them

00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:49.399
 mankind

00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:51.580
 when they were created.

00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:52.100
 There's

00:13:52.100 --> 00:13:53.519
 different kinds

00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:54.220
 of mankind

00:13:54.220 --> 00:13:55.840
 and the different

00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:56.580
 kinds

00:13:56.580 --> 00:13:58.300
 are male and female.

00:13:59.100 --> 00:14:00.060
 Both equally

00:14:00.060 --> 00:14:01.100
 reflect the

00:14:01.100 --> 00:14:02.720
 likeness of God.

00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:04.139
 One is not better

00:14:04.139 --> 00:14:05.320
 or less than the other,

00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:06.540
 equal in value

00:14:06.540 --> 00:14:07.200
 and worth

00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:07.899
 and dignity.

00:14:09.300 --> 00:14:10.060
 And while there's

00:14:10.060 --> 00:14:10.460
 maybe

00:14:10.460 --> 00:14:12.200
 male and female

00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:13.660
 in God's likeness,

00:14:13.740 --> 00:14:14.440
 that doesn't mean

00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:15.220
 to say that God

00:14:15.220 --> 00:14:16.600
 is 50% male

00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:18.220
 and 50% female.

00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:18.879
 No,

00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:20.200
 God is distinct

00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:21.299
 from humanity.

00:14:21.779 --> 00:14:23.100
 He's not like us.

00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:24.419
 He's not restricted

00:14:24.419 --> 00:14:25.620
 to physical body.

00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:27.200
 But yet,

00:14:27.340 --> 00:14:27.799
 together,

00:14:28.059 --> 00:14:28.639
 as man

00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:29.399
 and woman,

00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:30.860
 we reflect

00:14:30.860 --> 00:14:32.379
 his likeness,

00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:33.279
 we display

00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:34.360
 his character.

00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:36.019
 This

00:14:36.019 --> 00:14:36.860
 is who

00:14:36.860 --> 00:14:37.480
 we are.

00:14:38.620 --> 00:14:39.159
 This is

00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:39.679
 God's

00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:40.279
 beautiful

00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:41.000
 design

00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:42.419
 for humanity.

00:14:42.820 --> 00:14:43.399
 It's not

00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:44.360
 just history

00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:45.320
 in the past.

00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:46.519
 This

00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:47.299
 is our

00:14:47.299 --> 00:14:48.019
 identity.

00:14:48.019 --> 00:14:48.179
 identity.

00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:48.960
 This

00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:49.600
 is our

00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:50.399
 story.

00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:53.759
 But sadly,

00:14:53.939 --> 00:14:54.519
 it's not the

00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:55.340
 full story,

00:14:55.379 --> 00:14:55.899
 is it?

00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:57.579
 Because not

00:14:57.579 --> 00:14:58.159
 only are we

00:14:58.159 --> 00:14:58.919
 created in

00:14:58.919 --> 00:14:59.740
 the likeness

00:14:59.740 --> 00:15:01.059
 of God,

00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:02.699
 we are

00:15:02.699 --> 00:15:03.259
 fallen

00:15:03.259 --> 00:15:04.559
 in the

00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:05.039
 likeness

00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:05.519
 of Adam.

00:15:06.299 --> 00:15:06.720
 Look at

00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:07.340
 verse 3.

00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:09.039
 When Adam

00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:09.399
 had lived

00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:10.639
 130 years,

00:15:11.019 --> 00:15:11.720
 he had a

00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:12.279
 son in

00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:12.720
 his

00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:14.120
 own

00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:15.319
 likeness,

00:15:15.939 --> 00:15:16.819
 in his

00:15:16.820 --> 00:15:17.440
 own

00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:18.140
 image,

00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:19.560
 and he

00:15:19.560 --> 00:15:19.820
 named

00:15:19.820 --> 00:15:20.040
 him

00:15:20.040 --> 00:15:20.520
 Seth.

00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:22.140
 Like

00:15:22.140 --> 00:15:22.720
 Adam,

00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:23.160
 we are

00:15:23.160 --> 00:15:23.520
 now

00:15:23.520 --> 00:15:24.280
 cracked

00:15:24.280 --> 00:15:25.320
 image

00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:26.340
 bearers.

00:15:26.420 --> 00:15:26.680
 Instead

00:15:26.680 --> 00:15:27.500
 of reflecting

00:15:27.500 --> 00:15:28.100
 God's

00:15:28.100 --> 00:15:29.140
 beautiful

00:15:29.140 --> 00:15:29.760
 image,

00:15:29.760 --> 00:15:30.960
 we reflect

00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:31.660
 our own

00:15:31.660 --> 00:15:32.440
 broken

00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:33.100
 image.

00:15:33.900 --> 00:15:34.100
 Yes,

00:15:34.160 --> 00:15:34.600
 we're still

00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:35.379
 capable of

00:15:35.379 --> 00:15:36.320
 displaying God's

00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:36.660
 love and

00:15:36.660 --> 00:15:37.040
 justice,

00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:38.000
 but now it

00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:38.780
 is tainted

00:15:38.780 --> 00:15:39.640
 and distorted.

00:15:40.180 --> 00:15:40.480
 We are

00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:41.280
 not as we

00:15:41.280 --> 00:15:41.980
 should be.

00:15:41.980 --> 00:15:43.899
 we've

00:15:43.899 --> 00:15:44.360
 used this

00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:44.879
 illustration

00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:45.920
 before in

00:15:45.920 --> 00:15:46.340
 Genesis,

00:15:46.539 --> 00:15:47.220
 but I

00:15:47.220 --> 00:15:47.700
 want us to

00:15:47.700 --> 00:15:48.180
 think about

00:15:48.180 --> 00:15:48.639
 it again.

00:15:48.800 --> 00:15:49.500
 Imagine you're

00:15:49.500 --> 00:15:50.060
 looking in

00:15:50.060 --> 00:15:50.480
 the mirror

00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:52.720
 and reflecting

00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:53.560
 back at you

00:15:53.560 --> 00:15:54.159
 is your

00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:55.240
 image.

00:15:55.539 --> 00:15:56.000
 In fact,

00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:57.060
 the image

00:15:57.060 --> 00:15:57.759
 can appear

00:15:57.759 --> 00:15:58.279
 to you

00:15:58.279 --> 00:15:58.960
 almost

00:15:58.960 --> 00:15:59.840
 identical.

00:16:01.300 --> 00:16:01.659
 Now,

00:16:02.019 --> 00:16:03.019
 lift that

00:16:03.019 --> 00:16:03.920
 mirror off

00:16:03.920 --> 00:16:04.460
 the wall

00:16:04.460 --> 00:16:05.560
 and smash

00:16:05.560 --> 00:16:06.060
 it to the

00:16:06.060 --> 00:16:06.420
 ground.

00:16:08.259 --> 00:16:08.740
 Bits

00:16:08.740 --> 00:16:09.720
 fly everywhere,

00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:11.080
 chips and

00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:11.879
 cracks and

00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:12.720
 sharp edges.

00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:14.519
 Now look

00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:15.100
 down again

00:16:15.100 --> 00:16:15.500
 at those

00:16:15.500 --> 00:16:16.259
 pieces of

00:16:16.259 --> 00:16:16.800
 mirror on

00:16:16.800 --> 00:16:17.300
 the ground

00:16:17.300 --> 00:16:18.240
 and look

00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:18.980
 into it.

00:16:20.259 --> 00:16:21.259
 It's hard

00:16:21.259 --> 00:16:22.000
 to make out

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:22.680
 your face,

00:16:22.779 --> 00:16:23.279
 isn't it?

00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:24.920
 The image

00:16:24.920 --> 00:16:25.379
 is now

00:16:25.379 --> 00:16:26.220
 distorted

00:16:26.220 --> 00:16:27.220
 and twisted

00:16:27.220 --> 00:16:28.600
 and out

00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:29.200
 of shape,

00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:29.759
 full of

00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:30.660
 cracks and

00:16:30.660 --> 00:16:31.820
 sharp edges.

00:16:33.340 --> 00:16:33.540
 Well,

00:16:33.560 --> 00:16:33.980
 that's what

00:16:33.980 --> 00:16:34.720
 we've become.

00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:35.639
 We no

00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:36.500
 longer reflect

00:16:36.500 --> 00:16:37.240
 the purity

00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:37.879
 and beauty

00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:38.420
 of God

00:16:38.420 --> 00:16:38.800
 fully.

00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:39.579
 it is

00:16:39.579 --> 00:16:40.139
 marred

00:16:40.139 --> 00:16:40.959
 and tainted

00:16:40.959 --> 00:16:41.620
 by our

00:16:41.620 --> 00:16:42.259
 life of

00:16:42.259 --> 00:16:42.620
 sin.

00:16:43.359 --> 00:16:43.699
 Instead

00:16:43.699 --> 00:16:44.519
 of reflecting

00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:45.179
 God to

00:16:45.179 --> 00:16:45.679
 each other,

00:16:45.839 --> 00:16:46.399
 we have

00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:47.179
 crushed and

00:16:47.179 --> 00:16:47.679
 corrupted

00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:48.379
 one another.

00:16:49.379 --> 00:16:49.719
 You see,

00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:50.199
 that's what

00:16:50.199 --> 00:16:50.899
 verse 3

00:16:50.899 --> 00:16:52.019
 is telling

00:16:52.019 --> 00:16:52.500
 us.

00:16:52.819 --> 00:16:53.379
 We have

00:16:53.379 --> 00:16:54.219
 inherited

00:16:54.219 --> 00:16:55.620
 Adam's

00:16:55.620 --> 00:16:56.539
 sinful

00:16:56.539 --> 00:16:57.159
 nature.

00:16:57.699 --> 00:16:58.259
 We now

00:16:58.259 --> 00:16:59.479
 bear his

00:16:59.479 --> 00:17:00.199
 likeness.

00:17:00.620 --> 00:17:01.379
 We reflect

00:17:01.379 --> 00:17:02.620
 his image.

00:17:03.079 --> 00:17:03.639
 We don't

00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:04.839
 become sinful.

00:17:06.059 --> 00:17:06.539
 We are

00:17:06.539 --> 00:17:07.220
 born

00:17:07.220 --> 00:17:08.159
 sinful.

00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:09.659
 In other

00:17:09.659 --> 00:17:09.879
 words,

00:17:09.980 --> 00:17:10.399
 I don't

00:17:10.399 --> 00:17:11.159
 sin because

00:17:11.159 --> 00:17:11.639
 I do

00:17:11.639 --> 00:17:12.440
 bad things.

00:17:12.779 --> 00:17:13.659
 I sin

00:17:13.659 --> 00:17:14.460
 because I

00:17:14.460 --> 00:17:15.879
 am sinful.

00:17:17.339 --> 00:17:18.220
 We enter

00:17:18.220 --> 00:17:18.960
 this world

00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:20.799
 as children

00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:21.379
 of Adam.

00:17:22.619 --> 00:17:23.139
 And as

00:17:23.139 --> 00:17:23.940
 hard as it

00:17:23.940 --> 00:17:24.559
 is for us

00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:25.119
 to read,

00:17:25.579 --> 00:17:26.779
 this is

00:17:26.779 --> 00:17:27.379
 my

00:17:27.379 --> 00:17:28.480
 history.

00:17:29.379 --> 00:17:29.980
 This is

00:17:29.980 --> 00:17:31.200
 your history.

00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:31.700
 This is

00:17:31.700 --> 00:17:32.539
 your family

00:17:32.539 --> 00:17:33.059
 history.

00:17:33.460 --> 00:17:33.919
 This is

00:17:33.919 --> 00:17:34.399
 who we

00:17:34.399 --> 00:17:34.759
 are.

00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:35.680
 We've

00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:36.240
 gone from

00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:36.980
 beauty

00:17:36.980 --> 00:17:37.900
 to

00:17:37.900 --> 00:17:38.700
 brokenness.

00:17:38.779 --> 00:17:39.279
 In fact,

00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:39.620
 we've

00:17:39.620 --> 00:17:40.180
 gone from

00:17:40.180 --> 00:17:40.839
 life

00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:42.599
 to

00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:43.039
 death.

00:17:45.220 --> 00:17:46.420
 So first,

00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:47.920
 our family

00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:48.799
 likeness

00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:50.680
 and second,

00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:52.500
 our impending

00:17:52.500 --> 00:17:53.000
 death.

00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:55.640
 Chapter 5

00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:56.480
 of Genesis

00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:58.120
 is actually

00:17:58.120 --> 00:17:59.279
 the second

00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:00.660
 genealogy,

00:18:00.819 --> 00:18:01.319
 the second

00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:01.980
 account

00:18:01.980 --> 00:18:03.319
 in Genesis.

00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:04.000
 the first

00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:04.799
 genealogy

00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:05.559
 comes for

00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:06.480
 us in

00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:07.379
 Genesis 2.

00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:08.419
 Have a

00:18:08.419 --> 00:18:08.819
 look back

00:18:08.819 --> 00:18:09.319
 at Genesis

00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:09.779
 2.

00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:13.220
 Verse 4.

00:18:19.220 --> 00:18:20.299
 Genesis 2,

00:18:20.379 --> 00:18:20.899
 verse 4.

00:18:21.539 --> 00:18:22.019
 This is

00:18:22.019 --> 00:18:22.819
 the account

00:18:22.819 --> 00:18:24.279
 of the

00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:24.679
 heavens

00:18:24.679 --> 00:18:25.740
 and the

00:18:25.740 --> 00:18:26.299
 earth when

00:18:26.299 --> 00:18:26.720
 they were

00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:27.240
 created,

00:18:27.379 --> 00:18:27.720
 when the

00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:28.379
 Lord God

00:18:28.379 --> 00:18:29.019
 made the

00:18:29.019 --> 00:18:30.139
 earth and

00:18:30.139 --> 00:18:30.740
 the heavens.

00:18:31.579 --> 00:18:32.000
 This is

00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:32.659
 the history.

00:18:32.660 --> 00:18:33.440
 This is

00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:34.300
 the story

00:18:34.300 --> 00:18:35.140
 of creation

00:18:35.140 --> 00:18:36.200
 and it

00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:36.680
 is all

00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:37.600
 marked by

00:18:37.600 --> 00:18:38.320
 life.

00:18:38.620 --> 00:18:39.200
 Everywhere

00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:40.100
 at creation

00:18:40.100 --> 00:18:40.580
 is the

00:18:40.580 --> 00:18:41.220
 beginning of

00:18:41.220 --> 00:18:41.960
 life.

00:18:42.460 --> 00:18:43.060
 Humanity

00:18:43.060 --> 00:18:43.660
 is given

00:18:43.660 --> 00:18:44.000
 life.

00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:44.360
 God

00:18:44.360 --> 00:18:45.400
 breathed

00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:45.920
 life

00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:47.660
 into the

00:18:47.660 --> 00:18:48.120
 dust

00:18:48.120 --> 00:18:49.019
 and it

00:18:49.019 --> 00:18:49.580
 became a

00:18:49.580 --> 00:18:50.220
 living being.

00:18:51.180 --> 00:18:51.620
 And in

00:18:51.620 --> 00:18:51.940
 the middle

00:18:51.940 --> 00:18:52.240
 of the

00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:52.580
 garden,

00:18:52.740 --> 00:18:52.900
 you'll

00:18:52.900 --> 00:18:53.300
 remember,

00:18:53.460 --> 00:18:53.960
 was what?

00:18:54.080 --> 00:18:55.160
 The tree

00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:55.779
 of life.

00:18:56.700 --> 00:18:57.140
 This is

00:18:57.140 --> 00:18:57.580
 the world

00:18:57.580 --> 00:18:58.120
 as God

00:18:58.120 --> 00:18:58.660
 intended.

00:18:59.160 --> 00:18:59.600
 Mankind

00:18:59.600 --> 00:19:00.880
 enjoying life

00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:01.440
 in all its

00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:01.779
 fullness.

00:19:01.779 --> 00:19:02.599
 the one

00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:03.119
 thing that

00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:03.559
 is not

00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:04.259
 present in

00:19:04.259 --> 00:19:04.740
 creation

00:19:04.740 --> 00:19:05.339
 is

00:19:05.339 --> 00:19:07.359
 death.

00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:09.500
 Everything

00:19:09.500 --> 00:19:10.319
 is growing

00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:11.259
 and flourishing.

00:19:12.879 --> 00:19:13.740
 But all

00:19:13.740 --> 00:19:14.160
 that is

00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:15.220
 about to

00:19:15.220 --> 00:19:15.859
 change.

00:19:16.879 --> 00:19:17.740
 Back to

00:19:17.740 --> 00:19:18.639
 chapter 5.

00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:20.759
 All of

00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:21.259
 us

00:19:21.259 --> 00:19:23.099
 must die.

00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:24.779
 You see,

00:19:24.859 --> 00:19:25.559
 reading chapter

00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:26.680
 5 is like

00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:27.399
 taking a

00:19:27.399 --> 00:19:27.960
 stroll

00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:29.359
 through a

00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:29.819
 graveyard.

00:19:29.819 --> 00:19:31.819
 the family

00:19:31.819 --> 00:19:32.240
 line

00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:33.240
 continues,

00:19:34.059 --> 00:19:35.299
 but every

00:19:35.299 --> 00:19:36.079
 person

00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:37.539
 dies.

00:19:38.740 --> 00:19:39.599
 Verse 5,

00:19:40.740 --> 00:19:41.119
 Adam

00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:41.619
 lived a

00:19:41.619 --> 00:19:42.099
 total of

00:19:42.099 --> 00:19:43.039
 930

00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:44.019
 years and

00:19:44.019 --> 00:19:45.519
 then he

00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:46.119
 died.

00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:47.960
 Verse 8,

00:19:48.679 --> 00:19:49.099
 Seth

00:19:49.099 --> 00:19:49.559
 lived a

00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:50.059

00:19:50.059 --> 00:19:50.919

00:19:50.919 --> 00:19:51.500
 years

00:19:51.500 --> 00:19:53.279
 and then

00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:53.980
 he died.

00:19:54.859 --> 00:19:56.000
 Verse 14,

00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:57.700
 Kenan

00:19:57.700 --> 00:19:58.319
 lived to

00:19:58.319 --> 00:19:58.779
 a total

00:19:58.779 --> 00:19:59.819

00:19:59.819 --> 00:20:01.500
 years and

00:20:01.500 --> 00:20:01.960
 then he

00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:02.680
 died.

00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:04.960
 Verse 17,

00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:06.380
 Mahalal

00:20:06.380 --> 00:20:07.240
 lived a

 895

00:20:08.539 --> 00:20:09.400
 years and

00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:10.059
 guess what?

00:20:11.140 --> 00:20:11.920
 He died.

00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:14.559
 Verse 20,

00:20:15.299 --> 00:20:15.640
 Jared

 lived a

00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:18.700
 years and

00:20:18.700 --> 00:20:19.799
 well,

00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:20.640
 he died

00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:21.099
 too.

00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:23.460
 Verse 27,

00:20:23.460 --> 00:20:25.340
 Methuselah

00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:27.819
 years.

00:20:28.100 --> 00:20:28.319
 The

00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:28.579
 oldest

00:20:28.579 --> 00:20:29.079
 person

00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:29.600
 recorded

00:20:29.600 --> 00:20:29.880
 in

00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:30.279
 scripture

00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:31.960
 and

00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:32.279
 then,

00:20:33.059 --> 00:20:33.299
 well,

00:20:33.360 --> 00:20:33.960
 he died.

00:20:35.539 --> 00:20:35.759
 And

00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:36.660
 verse 31,

00:20:38.600 --> 00:20:38.980
 Lamech

00:20:38.980 --> 00:20:39.420
 lived a

00:20:39.420 --> 00:20:39.920
 total of

00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:41.039
 777

00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:42.059
 years and

00:20:42.059 --> 00:20:43.620
 then he

00:20:43.620 --> 00:20:44.259
 had his

00:20:44.259 --> 00:20:45.420
 funeral as

00:20:45.420 --> 00:20:45.700
 well.

00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:47.799
 Now,

00:20:47.860 --> 00:20:48.059
 I don't

00:20:48.059 --> 00:20:48.460
 want you to

00:20:48.460 --> 00:20:49.240
 get distracted

00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:49.700
 by the

00:20:49.700 --> 00:20:50.100
 number of

00:20:50.100 --> 00:20:50.460
 years and

00:20:50.460 --> 00:20:50.600
 say,

00:20:50.700 --> 00:20:50.980
 come on,

00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:51.640
 nobody

00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:52.120
 could live

00:20:52.120 --> 00:20:52.680
 that long.

00:20:53.460 --> 00:20:53.980
 Don't

00:20:53.980 --> 00:20:55.200
 focus on

00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:55.740
 that.

00:20:57.120 --> 00:20:57.940
 Focus on

00:20:57.940 --> 00:20:58.460
 the fact

00:20:58.460 --> 00:20:58.920
 that there

00:20:58.920 --> 00:20:59.299
 is an

00:20:59.299 --> 00:21:00.940
 end to

00:21:00.940 --> 00:21:01.799
 the years.

00:21:02.980 --> 00:21:03.539
 Satan's

00:21:03.539 --> 00:21:04.259
 promise to

00:21:04.259 --> 00:21:04.779
 Adam and

00:21:04.779 --> 00:21:05.319
 Eve, do you

00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:05.860
 remember it?

00:21:06.259 --> 00:21:06.779
 You will

00:21:06.779 --> 00:21:08.299
 not certainly

00:21:08.299 --> 00:21:08.779
 die.

00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:10.220
 It's not

00:21:10.220 --> 00:21:10.680
 true.

00:21:11.259 --> 00:21:11.920
 It's a big

00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:12.440
 lie.

00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:13.400
 But we

00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:14.059
 live as if

00:21:14.059 --> 00:21:14.779
 it is true.

00:21:15.220 --> 00:21:15.980
 Every one

00:21:15.980 --> 00:21:16.660
 of us here

00:21:16.660 --> 00:21:17.140
 in this

00:21:17.140 --> 00:21:18.319
 room lives

00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:18.779
 with the

00:21:18.779 --> 00:21:19.660
 expectation

00:21:19.660 --> 00:21:20.700
 that you'll

00:21:20.700 --> 00:21:21.279
 go to bed

00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:21.660
 tonight,

00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:22.259
 you'll close

00:21:22.259 --> 00:21:22.660
 your eyes

00:21:22.660 --> 00:21:23.220
 and sleep,

00:21:23.460 --> 00:21:23.900
 and you

00:21:23.900 --> 00:21:24.360
 will open

00:21:24.360 --> 00:21:24.759
 up your

00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:25.200
 eyes and

00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:25.660
 wake up

00:21:25.660 --> 00:21:25.960
 tomorrow

00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:26.340
 morning.

00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:26.600
 Isn't

00:21:26.600 --> 00:21:26.880
 that what

00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:27.420
 we expect

00:21:27.420 --> 00:21:27.980
 to happen?

00:21:31.420 --> 00:21:32.180
 But there's

00:21:32.180 --> 00:21:32.920
 no guarantee.

00:21:35.140 --> 00:21:35.840
 The day

00:21:35.840 --> 00:21:36.279
 is going

00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:36.880
 to come,

00:21:38.100 --> 00:21:39.079
 maybe sooner,

00:21:39.380 --> 00:21:40.079
 maybe later,

00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:41.860
 when every

00:21:41.860 --> 00:21:42.539
 single one

00:21:42.539 --> 00:21:43.200
 of us here

00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:44.059
 will draw

00:21:44.059 --> 00:21:44.799
 our very

00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:46.180
 last breath

00:21:46.180 --> 00:21:48.440
 death, and

00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:50.340
 life will

00:21:50.340 --> 00:21:50.820
 end.

00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:53.560
 Jonathan

00:21:53.560 --> 00:21:54.500
 Mark

00:21:54.500 --> 00:21:55.320
 Grant

00:21:55.320 --> 00:21:56.900
 lived a

00:21:56.900 --> 00:21:57.880
 total of

00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:00.680
 49 years,

00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:03.500
 59 years,

00:22:04.500 --> 00:22:07.000
 and then he

00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:07.500
 died.

00:22:09.560 --> 00:22:10.680
 He died.

00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:14.860
 when we

00:22:14.860 --> 00:22:15.360
 die,

00:22:16.940 --> 00:22:18.039
 a post-mortem

00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:18.640
 will be

00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:19.259
 carried out

00:22:19.259 --> 00:22:19.980
 to determine

00:22:19.980 --> 00:22:20.720
 our cause

00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:21.299
 of death.

00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:23.279
 Perhaps it

00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:23.740
 will be a

00:22:23.740 --> 00:22:24.700
 terminal illness

00:22:24.700 --> 00:22:25.640
 like cancer,

00:22:26.580 --> 00:22:27.220
 maybe a

00:22:27.220 --> 00:22:27.960
 heart attack,

00:22:29.080 --> 00:22:29.920
 maybe it

00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:30.180
 will be

00:22:30.180 --> 00:22:30.820
 because you

00:22:30.820 --> 00:22:31.299
 were involved

00:22:31.299 --> 00:22:32.080
 in a serious

00:22:32.080 --> 00:22:33.019
 accident and

00:22:33.019 --> 00:22:34.980
 well, you

00:22:34.980 --> 00:22:35.600
 were maimed

00:22:35.600 --> 00:22:36.140
 in such a

00:22:36.140 --> 00:22:36.880
 horrific way.

00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:38.760
 maybe the

00:22:38.760 --> 00:22:39.400
 cause will

00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:41.020
 be unknown,

00:22:42.360 --> 00:22:43.280
 but some

00:22:43.280 --> 00:22:44.120
 reason will

00:22:44.120 --> 00:22:44.600
 be given

00:22:44.600 --> 00:22:45.180
 as people

00:22:45.180 --> 00:22:45.540
 talk.

00:22:45.840 --> 00:22:46.720
 How did

00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:47.260
 they die?

00:22:49.760 --> 00:22:50.260
 Well,

00:22:50.340 --> 00:22:50.980
 according to

00:22:50.980 --> 00:22:51.460
 scripture,

00:22:52.520 --> 00:22:53.140
 the cause

00:22:53.140 --> 00:22:53.900
 of every

00:22:53.900 --> 00:22:54.960
 single death

00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:55.560
 that takes

00:22:55.560 --> 00:22:56.180
 place on

00:22:56.180 --> 00:22:56.920
 planet Earth,

00:22:57.500 --> 00:22:58.040
 mine and

00:22:58.040 --> 00:22:58.900
 yours included,

00:22:59.220 --> 00:23:00.800
 is sin.

00:23:01.820 --> 00:23:03.080
 We die

00:23:03.080 --> 00:23:04.660
 because we

00:23:04.660 --> 00:23:05.720
 have rebelled

00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:06.480
 against God,

00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:07.180
 because we

00:23:07.180 --> 00:23:08.180
 have set

00:23:08.180 --> 00:23:09.200
 up to

00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:10.380
 overtake his

00:23:10.380 --> 00:23:10.920
 rule and

00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:11.839
 authority and

00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:12.960
 sit in his

00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:13.539
 place.

00:23:15.360 --> 00:23:16.400
 Death is not

00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:16.940
 just a

00:23:16.940 --> 00:23:17.940
 consequence of

00:23:17.940 --> 00:23:19.039
 sin, it's

00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:19.759
 the punishment

00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:20.759
 for our

00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:21.000
 sin.

00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:22.880
 Remember

00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:23.480
 what God

00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:24.039
 has said to

00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:24.380
 Adam?

00:23:25.339 --> 00:23:25.940
 If you

00:23:25.940 --> 00:23:26.420
 eat from

00:23:26.420 --> 00:23:26.920
 the tree

00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:27.299
 of the

00:23:27.299 --> 00:23:27.839
 knowledge of

00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:28.180
 good and

00:23:28.180 --> 00:23:29.240
 evil, you

00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:30.740
 will certainly

00:23:30.740 --> 00:23:31.839
 die.

00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:33.360
 If you

00:23:33.360 --> 00:23:34.599
 reject my

00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:35.200
 rule, if

00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:36.059
 you seek to

00:23:36.059 --> 00:23:36.679
 take my

00:23:36.679 --> 00:23:37.639
 place, I

00:23:37.639 --> 00:23:37.980
 am the

00:23:37.980 --> 00:23:39.019
 creator, but

00:23:39.019 --> 00:23:39.379
 if you

00:23:39.379 --> 00:23:39.700
 want to

00:23:39.700 --> 00:23:40.359
 put yourself

00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:40.919
 in place

00:23:40.919 --> 00:23:41.339
 of me,

00:23:42.339 --> 00:23:43.319
 you will

00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:43.700
 die.

00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:45.559
 Sin is

00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:46.559
 serious, it

00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:47.419
 is destructive,

00:23:48.019 --> 00:23:48.500
 and God

00:23:48.500 --> 00:23:49.519
 cannot allow

00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:50.779
 sinful humanity

00:23:50.779 --> 00:23:51.919
 to go on

00:23:51.919 --> 00:23:52.559
 wrecking their

00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:53.519
 lives and

00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:54.480
 destroying the

00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:54.940
 lives of

00:23:54.940 --> 00:23:55.419
 each other,

00:23:55.619 --> 00:23:56.519
 which is what

00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:57.399
 we do.

00:23:57.400 --> 00:23:57.500
 do.

00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:01.000
 So God

00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:01.580
 said to

00:24:01.580 --> 00:24:03.780
 Adam, you

00:24:03.780 --> 00:24:04.540
 will return

00:24:04.540 --> 00:24:04.980
 to the

00:24:04.980 --> 00:24:05.900
 ground since

00:24:05.900 --> 00:24:06.560
 from it you

00:24:06.560 --> 00:24:07.100
 were taken,

00:24:07.540 --> 00:24:08.120
 for dust

00:24:08.120 --> 00:24:08.900
 you are,

00:24:10.580 --> 00:24:11.120
 and to

00:24:11.120 --> 00:24:12.620
 dust you

00:24:12.620 --> 00:24:13.420
 will return.

00:24:15.420 --> 00:24:16.060
 Every

00:24:16.060 --> 00:24:16.580
 single

00:24:16.580 --> 00:24:17.920
 funeral, my

00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:19.120
 funeral and

00:24:19.120 --> 00:24:20.019
 your funeral,

00:24:21.180 --> 00:24:21.860
 yes, we

00:24:21.860 --> 00:24:22.500
 hope many

00:24:22.500 --> 00:24:23.400
 wonderful things

00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:23.980
 will be said

00:24:23.980 --> 00:24:24.480
 about us,

00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:24.940
 about our

00:24:24.940 --> 00:24:25.700
 wonderful life,

00:24:26.019 --> 00:24:26.440
 but it

00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:27.100
 will stand

00:24:27.100 --> 00:24:28.180
 before every

00:24:28.180 --> 00:24:29.160
 single person

00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:30.759
 as a reminder

00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:31.279
 that the

00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:32.080
 reason I

00:24:32.080 --> 00:24:32.600
 am in a

00:24:32.600 --> 00:24:33.140
 coffin and

00:24:33.140 --> 00:24:33.680
 I will be

00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:34.240
 buried in

00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:34.700
 the grave

00:24:34.700 --> 00:24:36.039
 is because

00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:38.660
 I'm a

00:24:38.660 --> 00:24:38.900
 sinner.

00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:43.799
 The

00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:44.480
 apostle Paul

00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:45.420
 reminds us of

00:24:45.420 --> 00:24:46.120
 exactly the

00:24:46.120 --> 00:24:46.740
 same, doesn't

00:24:46.740 --> 00:24:46.960
 he?

00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:49.980
 Romans 6,

00:24:50.100 --> 00:24:50.600
 23,

00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:52.279
 the wages

00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:53.299
 of sin

00:24:53.299 --> 00:24:54.099
 is

00:24:54.099 --> 00:24:55.859
 death.

00:24:57.240 --> 00:24:57.919
 At the

00:24:57.919 --> 00:24:58.539
 end of your

00:24:58.539 --> 00:24:59.399
 working week

00:24:59.399 --> 00:24:59.939
 or month,

00:25:00.459 --> 00:25:01.259
 you receive

00:25:01.259 --> 00:25:01.939
 your wage,

00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:02.459
 maybe it

00:25:02.459 --> 00:25:03.000
 comes in

00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:04.259
 direct into

00:25:04.259 --> 00:25:04.719
 your bank

00:25:04.719 --> 00:25:05.259
 account or

00:25:05.259 --> 00:25:05.919
 somebody gives

00:25:05.919 --> 00:25:06.219
 you an

00:25:06.219 --> 00:25:07.059
 envelope, but

00:25:07.059 --> 00:25:07.899
 you receive

00:25:07.899 --> 00:25:08.619
 your wages

00:25:08.619 --> 00:25:09.399
 for the work

00:25:09.399 --> 00:25:10.159
 you do,

00:25:10.459 --> 00:25:11.019
 you get

00:25:11.019 --> 00:25:11.719
 your payment.

00:25:13.399 --> 00:25:13.899
 Well, at

00:25:13.899 --> 00:25:14.480
 the end of

00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:15.079
 our life,

00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:15.980
 we're going

00:25:15.980 --> 00:25:16.579
 to receive

00:25:16.579 --> 00:25:17.439
 our wage

00:25:17.439 --> 00:25:17.799
 too.

00:25:18.099 --> 00:25:18.659
 We're going

00:25:18.659 --> 00:25:19.240
 to receive

00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:19.939
 our payment

00:25:19.940 --> 00:25:20.340
 for the

00:25:20.340 --> 00:25:20.640
 way in

00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:21.180
 which we've

00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:21.580
 lived our

00:25:21.580 --> 00:25:21.980
 life.

00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:25.840
 The wages

00:25:25.840 --> 00:25:26.539
 of sin

00:25:26.539 --> 00:25:28.900
 is death.

00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:32.380
 Our

00:25:32.380 --> 00:25:32.759
 family

00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:33.580
 likeness

00:25:33.580 --> 00:25:35.840
 are

00:25:35.840 --> 00:25:36.420
 impending

00:25:36.420 --> 00:25:37.039
 deaths.

00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:40.000
 Thankfully,

00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:40.660
 the story

00:25:40.660 --> 00:25:41.240
 doesn't end

00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:41.539
 there.

00:25:42.779 --> 00:25:43.840
 The story

00:25:43.840 --> 00:25:44.779
 of God's

00:25:44.779 --> 00:25:45.380
 redemption

00:25:45.380 --> 00:25:47.200
 moves us

00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:48.220
 from death

00:25:48.220 --> 00:25:49.259
 into

00:25:49.259 --> 00:25:50.460
 life.

00:25:51.740 --> 00:25:52.660
 Our new

00:25:52.660 --> 00:25:53.180
 life.

00:25:54.420 --> 00:25:55.099
 First,

00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:56.940
 death has

00:25:56.940 --> 00:25:57.759
 been interrupted.

00:25:58.920 --> 00:25:59.519
 As we

00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:00.220
 walk through

00:26:00.220 --> 00:26:00.920
 the graveyard

00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:01.680
 of chapter

00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:02.279
 five,

00:26:02.980 --> 00:26:03.539
 we come

00:26:03.539 --> 00:26:04.460
 across something

00:26:04.460 --> 00:26:05.420
 that should

00:26:05.420 --> 00:26:06.140
 fill us

00:26:06.140 --> 00:26:07.460
 with joyful

00:26:07.460 --> 00:26:08.839
 expectation,

00:26:09.940 --> 00:26:11.140
 where celebration

00:26:11.140 --> 00:26:12.400
 will overtake

00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:13.480
 the sorrow

00:26:13.480 --> 00:26:14.299
 and the

00:26:14.299 --> 00:26:14.819
 sighing.

00:26:14.819 --> 00:26:16.099
 Adam dies,

00:26:16.299 --> 00:26:17.079
 Seth dies,

00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:18.079
 Enoch dies,

00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:19.019
 Kenan dies,

00:26:19.399 --> 00:26:20.539
 Mahalel dies,

00:26:20.740 --> 00:26:21.579
 Jared dies.

00:26:22.299 --> 00:26:22.779
 Now look at

00:26:22.779 --> 00:26:23.500
 verse 21.

00:26:23.659 --> 00:26:24.259
 When Enoch

00:26:24.259 --> 00:26:24.720
 had lived

00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:26.139
 65 years,

00:26:26.500 --> 00:26:27.119
 he became

00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:27.639
 the father

00:26:27.639 --> 00:26:28.599
 of Methuselah.

00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:29.839
 After he

00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:30.379
 became the

00:26:30.379 --> 00:26:30.919
 father of

00:26:30.919 --> 00:26:31.619
 Methuselah,

00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:32.399
 Enoch

00:26:32.399 --> 00:26:33.419
 walked faithfully

00:26:33.419 --> 00:26:34.039
 with God

00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:35.460
 300 years

00:26:35.460 --> 00:26:36.139
 and had other

00:26:36.139 --> 00:26:36.659
 sons and

00:26:36.659 --> 00:26:37.019
 daughters.

00:26:37.939 --> 00:26:38.579
 Altogether,

00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:39.339
 Enoch lived

00:26:39.339 --> 00:26:39.939
 a total of

00:26:39.939 --> 00:26:41.779
 365 years.

00:26:41.779 --> 00:26:43.200
 Enoch

00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:44.099
 walked faithfully

00:26:44.099 --> 00:26:44.859
 with God,

00:26:45.399 --> 00:26:46.059
 then he

00:26:46.059 --> 00:26:46.660
 died,

00:26:47.980 --> 00:26:49.059
 because God

00:26:49.059 --> 00:26:49.480
 took him

00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:49.799
 away.

00:26:53.220 --> 00:26:54.059
 What?

00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:55.819
 Did you

00:26:55.819 --> 00:26:56.279
 read verse

00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:57.420
 24 carefully?

00:26:58.759 --> 00:26:59.539
 He didn't

00:26:59.539 --> 00:26:59.879
 die.

00:27:00.940 --> 00:27:01.339
 Enoch

00:27:01.339 --> 00:27:02.299
 walked faithfully

00:27:02.299 --> 00:27:03.079
 with God,

00:27:03.940 --> 00:27:04.559
 then he

00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:06.420
 was no

00:27:06.420 --> 00:27:06.960
 more,

00:27:07.819 --> 00:27:08.899
 because God

00:27:08.899 --> 00:27:09.339
 took him

00:27:09.339 --> 00:27:09.720
 away.

00:27:11.059 --> 00:27:11.599
 Death

00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:12.759
 has been

00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:13.480
 interrupted.

00:27:14.439 --> 00:27:14.839
 Death,

00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:15.319
 death,

00:27:15.459 --> 00:27:15.740
 death,

00:27:15.899 --> 00:27:16.240
 death,

00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:18.480
 life.

00:27:20.959 --> 00:27:21.659
 God

00:27:21.659 --> 00:27:22.199
 has

00:27:22.199 --> 00:27:23.259
 intervened

00:27:23.259 --> 00:27:24.539
 and spared

00:27:24.539 --> 00:27:25.240
 Enoch

00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:26.879
 from death.

00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:29.240
 Why?

00:27:30.159 --> 00:27:30.500
 Well,

00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:31.139
 twice we're

00:27:31.139 --> 00:27:31.740
 told in

00:27:31.740 --> 00:27:32.339
 those few

00:27:32.339 --> 00:27:33.519
 verses that

00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:34.159
 Enoch had

00:27:34.159 --> 00:27:35.539
 walked faithfully

00:27:35.539 --> 00:27:36.559
 with God.

00:27:36.839 --> 00:27:37.339
 That is,

00:27:37.399 --> 00:27:37.839
 he was a

00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:38.319
 man who

00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:39.599
 walked by

00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:40.240
 faith.

00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:41.620
 He trusted

00:27:41.620 --> 00:27:42.319
 in God's

00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:42.920
 promise of

00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:43.039
 a

00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:43.400
 redeemer.

00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:44.180
 He knew

00:27:44.180 --> 00:27:44.680
 that the

00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:45.319
 son of a

00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:45.819
 woman was

00:27:45.819 --> 00:27:46.380
 to come

00:27:46.380 --> 00:27:47.039
 who was

00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:47.480
 going to

00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:47.900
 crush

00:27:47.900 --> 00:27:48.819
 Satan's

00:27:48.819 --> 00:27:49.099
 head,

00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:49.799
 and he

00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:50.819
 longed for

00:27:50.819 --> 00:27:51.319
 God's

00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:51.720
 promise

00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:52.299
 redeemer.

00:27:54.900 --> 00:27:55.420
 Hebrews

00:27:55.420 --> 00:27:56.099
 helps us

00:27:56.099 --> 00:27:56.799
 to understand.

00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:57.180
 You can

00:27:57.180 --> 00:27:57.640
 follow it

00:27:57.640 --> 00:27:57.940
 on the

00:27:57.940 --> 00:27:58.599
 screen here.

00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:01.019
 I'll have

00:28:01.019 --> 00:28:01.460
 to go over

00:28:01.460 --> 00:28:02.039
 here and

00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:03.000
 read it

00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:03.500
 like this.

00:28:03.500 --> 00:28:04.920
 by faith

00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:05.900
 Enoch

00:28:05.900 --> 00:28:06.660
 was taken

00:28:06.660 --> 00:28:07.640
 from this

00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:09.160
 life so

00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:09.539
 that he

00:28:09.539 --> 00:28:10.000
 did not

00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:10.799
 experience

00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:11.359
 death.

00:28:12.220 --> 00:28:12.740
 He could

00:28:12.740 --> 00:28:13.200
 not be

00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:13.900
 found because

00:28:13.900 --> 00:28:14.460
 God had

00:28:14.460 --> 00:28:14.920
 taken him

00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:15.279
 away.

00:28:15.980 --> 00:28:16.700
 For before

00:28:16.700 --> 00:28:17.140
 he was

00:28:17.140 --> 00:28:17.539
 taken,

00:28:18.099 --> 00:28:18.519
 he was

00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:19.039
 commended

00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:19.539
 as one

00:28:19.539 --> 00:28:20.279
 who pleased

00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:20.759
 God,

00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:22.059
 and without

00:28:22.059 --> 00:28:23.720
 faith it

00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:24.440
 is impossible

00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:25.619
 to please

00:28:25.619 --> 00:28:26.079
 God.

00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:28.099
 It's not

00:28:28.099 --> 00:28:28.880
 because Enoch

00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:29.680
 was better

00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:30.400
 than anybody

00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:31.039
 else or

00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:31.720
 that he

00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:32.400
 sinned

00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:32.839
 less.

00:28:33.299 --> 00:28:33.620
 It's

00:28:33.620 --> 00:28:34.259
 because he

00:28:34.259 --> 00:28:35.299
 had faith.

00:28:35.420 --> 00:28:35.519
 It's

00:28:35.519 --> 00:28:35.960
 because he

00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:37.600
 trusted in

00:28:37.600 --> 00:28:38.120
 God's

00:28:38.120 --> 00:28:39.660
 promise to

00:28:39.660 --> 00:28:40.400
 deliver him.

00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:41.720
 You see,

00:28:41.900 --> 00:28:43.019
 death doesn't

00:28:43.019 --> 00:28:43.740
 have to have

00:28:43.740 --> 00:28:44.279
 the last

00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:44.680
 word.

00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:46.140
 God has

00:28:46.140 --> 00:28:46.700
 the last

00:28:46.700 --> 00:28:47.140
 word.

00:28:47.819 --> 00:28:48.460
 God is

00:28:48.460 --> 00:28:49.259
 saying

00:28:49.259 --> 00:28:50.880
 through Enoch,

00:28:51.319 --> 00:28:52.819
 although death

00:28:52.819 --> 00:28:53.579
 is the reward

00:28:53.579 --> 00:28:54.319
 of our sin,

00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:55.360
 although you

00:28:55.360 --> 00:28:56.400
 deserve death,

00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:58.160
 I am over

00:28:58.160 --> 00:28:59.400
 death, and I

00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:00.380
 can deliver

00:29:00.380 --> 00:29:01.100
 from death.

00:29:01.099 --> 00:29:02.199
 you can

00:29:02.199 --> 00:29:03.219
 have life.

00:29:04.980 --> 00:29:05.419
 You see,

00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:06.219
 God is not

00:29:06.219 --> 00:29:06.980
 vengeful.

00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:08.379
 He's not

00:29:08.379 --> 00:29:09.099
 joyfully

00:29:09.099 --> 00:29:10.159
 delighting in

00:29:10.159 --> 00:29:10.559
 judgment.

00:29:11.159 --> 00:29:12.219
 God longs

00:29:12.219 --> 00:29:12.879
 to deliver

00:29:12.879 --> 00:29:13.439
 us from

00:29:13.439 --> 00:29:14.259
 the curse

00:29:14.259 --> 00:29:15.259
 of death.

00:29:17.959 --> 00:29:18.819
 In fact,

00:29:18.899 --> 00:29:19.439
 this is only

00:29:19.439 --> 00:29:20.000
 the beginning.

00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:21.879
 God has

00:29:21.879 --> 00:29:22.299
 not only

00:29:22.299 --> 00:29:23.059
 promised to

00:29:23.059 --> 00:29:23.899
 interrupt

00:29:23.899 --> 00:29:24.480
 death,

00:29:25.219 --> 00:29:25.679
 but God

00:29:25.679 --> 00:29:26.139
 has promised

00:29:26.139 --> 00:29:26.779
 to undo

00:29:26.779 --> 00:29:27.480
 all the

00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:28.179
 brokenness

00:29:28.179 --> 00:29:28.819
 we see

00:29:28.819 --> 00:29:29.639
 in the

00:29:29.639 --> 00:29:30.019
 world.

00:29:31.099 --> 00:29:34.159
 there is

00:29:34.159 --> 00:29:35.059
 the undoing

00:29:35.059 --> 00:29:36.000
 of the

00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:36.439
 curse.

00:29:37.719 --> 00:29:38.119
 You see,

00:29:38.199 --> 00:29:38.559
 as we

00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:39.179
 trace

00:29:39.179 --> 00:29:40.459
 the family

00:29:40.459 --> 00:29:41.039
 line of

00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:41.319
 Adam,

00:29:41.419 --> 00:29:41.719
 as we

00:29:41.719 --> 00:29:42.359
 follow

00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:43.019
 God's

00:29:43.019 --> 00:29:43.679
 redemptive

00:29:43.679 --> 00:29:44.099
 plan,

00:29:44.539 --> 00:29:44.859
 God

00:29:44.859 --> 00:29:45.879
 shows us

00:29:45.879 --> 00:29:46.759
 what we

00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:47.579
 can expect.

00:29:47.779 --> 00:29:48.019
 Look at

00:29:48.019 --> 00:29:48.839
 verse 28.

00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:51.019
 When Lamech

00:29:51.019 --> 00:29:51.639
 had lived

00:29:51.639 --> 00:29:53.240
 182 years,

00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:53.759
 he had

00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:54.219
 a son.

00:29:54.879 --> 00:29:55.539
 He named

00:29:55.539 --> 00:29:56.219
 him Noah

00:29:56.220 --> 00:29:57.680
 and said,

00:29:58.180 --> 00:29:58.640
 he will

00:29:58.640 --> 00:29:59.579
 comfort us

00:29:59.579 --> 00:29:59.940
 in the

00:29:59.940 --> 00:30:00.559
 labour and

00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:01.039
 painful

00:30:01.039 --> 00:30:01.779
 toil of

00:30:01.779 --> 00:30:02.380
 our hands

00:30:02.380 --> 00:30:03.519
 caused

00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:04.620
 by the

00:30:04.620 --> 00:30:05.120
 ground

00:30:05.120 --> 00:30:05.980
 the Lord

00:30:05.980 --> 00:30:06.940
 has

00:30:06.940 --> 00:30:07.400
 cursed.

00:30:09.160 --> 00:30:09.779
 Now,

00:30:09.860 --> 00:30:10.200
 we know

00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:10.660
 what that

00:30:10.660 --> 00:30:11.380
 is to

00:30:11.380 --> 00:30:12.180
 experience,

00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:12.700
 don't we?

00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:14.100
 We live

00:30:14.100 --> 00:30:14.420
 in a

00:30:14.420 --> 00:30:15.000
 world

00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:16.140
 full

00:30:16.140 --> 00:30:16.900
 of

00:30:16.900 --> 00:30:17.620
 painful

00:30:17.620 --> 00:30:18.360
 toil.

00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:21.039
 we live

00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:21.339
 in a

00:30:21.339 --> 00:30:21.859
 world

00:30:21.859 --> 00:30:22.740
 that has

00:30:22.740 --> 00:30:22.979
 been

00:30:22.979 --> 00:30:23.500
 cursed.

00:30:24.599 --> 00:30:24.859
 The

00:30:24.859 --> 00:30:25.539
 effect

00:30:25.539 --> 00:30:25.859
 of

00:30:25.859 --> 00:30:26.359
 God's

00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:26.719
 curse

00:30:26.719 --> 00:30:27.500
 caused

00:30:27.500 --> 00:30:28.039
 by our

00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:28.519
 collective

00:30:28.519 --> 00:30:28.959
 sin

00:30:28.959 --> 00:30:29.479
 has

00:30:29.479 --> 00:30:30.479
 frustrated

00:30:30.479 --> 00:30:31.279
 this

00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:31.899
 physical

00:30:31.899 --> 00:30:32.319
 world

00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:32.679
 in which

00:30:32.679 --> 00:30:33.039
 we live.

00:30:33.299 --> 00:30:33.659
 That's

00:30:33.659 --> 00:30:33.879
 what

00:30:33.879 --> 00:30:34.779
 COP26

00:30:34.779 --> 00:30:35.379
 is all

00:30:35.379 --> 00:30:35.679
 about,

00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:36.579
 spread

00:30:36.579 --> 00:30:36.959
 across

00:30:36.959 --> 00:30:37.159
 our

00:30:37.159 --> 00:30:37.519
 news

00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:37.839
 every

00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:38.219
 single

00:30:38.500 --> 00:30:38.679

00:30:39.159 --> 00:30:39.559
 news

00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:40.099
 programme.

00:30:41.019 --> 00:30:41.419
 The

00:30:41.419 --> 00:30:41.819
 world

00:30:41.819 --> 00:30:42.219
 coming

00:30:42.219 --> 00:30:42.479
 to

00:30:42.479 --> 00:30:42.859
 terms

00:30:42.859 --> 00:30:43.099
 with

00:30:43.099 --> 00:30:43.559
 climate

00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:44.059
 change

00:30:44.059 --> 00:30:44.559
 and

00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:44.759
 the

00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:45.339
 problems

00:30:45.339 --> 00:30:45.639
 that

00:30:45.639 --> 00:30:46.000
 man

00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:46.219
 has

00:30:46.219 --> 00:30:46.759
 caused.

00:30:47.539 --> 00:30:47.839
 Yes,

00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:48.419
 carbon

00:30:48.419 --> 00:30:49.079
 dioxide

00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:49.480
 is

00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:49.919
 causing

00:30:49.919 --> 00:30:50.439
 floods

00:30:50.439 --> 00:30:50.720
 and

00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:51.119
 famine

00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:51.639
 and

00:30:51.639 --> 00:30:51.839
 is

00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:52.480
 wrecking

00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:52.899
 lands

00:30:52.899 --> 00:30:53.240
 and

00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:53.679
 nations

00:30:53.679 --> 00:30:53.980
 and

00:30:53.980 --> 00:30:54.379
 people.

00:30:56.379 --> 00:30:57.099
 But

00:30:57.099 --> 00:30:57.359
 look

00:30:57.359 --> 00:30:57.779
 beneath

00:30:57.779 --> 00:30:58.079
 the

00:30:58.079 --> 00:30:58.639
 surface.

00:31:00.019 --> 00:31:00.419
 Behind

00:31:00.419 --> 00:31:00.919
 it all

00:31:00.919 --> 00:31:01.299
 is the

00:31:01.299 --> 00:31:01.579
 curse

00:31:01.579 --> 00:31:02.099
 of God

00:31:02.099 --> 00:31:02.480
 because

00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:02.899
 of

00:31:02.899 --> 00:31:03.480
 sinful

00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:04.359
 man.

00:31:05.559 --> 00:31:05.799
 We

00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:05.980
 have

00:31:05.980 --> 00:31:06.240
 not

00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:06.579
 looked

00:31:06.579 --> 00:31:06.939
 after

00:31:06.939 --> 00:31:07.159
 the

00:31:07.159 --> 00:31:07.539
 world

00:31:07.539 --> 00:31:07.799
 as

00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:08.139
 God

00:31:08.139 --> 00:31:08.399
 had

00:31:08.399 --> 00:31:08.799
 said.

00:31:09.579 --> 00:31:09.939
 We're

00:31:09.939 --> 00:31:10.240
 beginning

00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:10.599
 to

00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:11.019
 reap

00:31:11.019 --> 00:31:11.559
 what

00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:11.759
 we

00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:11.939
 have

00:31:11.939 --> 00:31:12.359
 sown.

00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:13.720
 And

00:31:13.720 --> 00:31:14.199
 while I

00:31:14.199 --> 00:31:14.559
 agree

00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:15.079
 we all

00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:15.500
 need to

00:31:15.500 --> 00:31:15.740
 work

00:31:15.740 --> 00:31:16.099
 hard

00:31:16.099 --> 00:31:16.259
 at

00:31:16.259 --> 00:31:16.659
 becoming

00:31:16.659 --> 00:31:17.179
 carbon

00:31:17.179 --> 00:31:17.699
 neutral

00:31:17.700 --> 00:31:18.259
 we

00:31:18.259 --> 00:31:18.500
 need

00:31:18.500 --> 00:31:18.660
 to

00:31:18.660 --> 00:31:18.940
 do

00:31:18.940 --> 00:31:19.319
 and

00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:19.620
 play

00:31:19.620 --> 00:31:19.819
 our

00:31:19.819 --> 00:31:20.180
 part

00:31:20.180 --> 00:31:20.680
 but

00:31:20.680 --> 00:31:21.059
 here's

00:31:21.059 --> 00:31:21.220
 the

00:31:21.220 --> 00:31:21.740
 problem

00:31:21.740 --> 00:31:23.420
 broken

00:31:23.420 --> 00:31:24.220
 humanity

00:31:24.220 --> 00:31:25.140
 can

00:31:25.140 --> 00:31:25.519
 never

00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:26.200
 fix

00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:26.840
 the

00:31:26.840 --> 00:31:27.279
 problem.

00:31:29.900 --> 00:31:30.740
 We

00:31:30.740 --> 00:31:31.000
 are

00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:31.200
 the

00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:31.640
 problem.

00:31:32.740 --> 00:31:33.140
 History

00:31:33.140 --> 00:31:33.440
 has

00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:33.880
 proved

00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:34.120
 that

00:31:34.120 --> 00:31:34.299
 with

00:31:34.299 --> 00:31:34.779
 every

00:31:34.779 --> 00:31:35.220
 new

00:31:35.220 --> 00:31:35.960
 generation

00:31:35.960 --> 00:31:36.779
 we

00:31:36.779 --> 00:31:36.940
 are

00:31:36.940 --> 00:31:37.319
 more

00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:37.980
 corrupt

00:31:37.980 --> 00:31:39.340
 than

00:31:39.340 --> 00:31:39.580
 ever

00:31:39.580 --> 00:31:40.080
 before.

00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:42.640
 We

00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:42.900
 need

00:31:42.900 --> 00:31:43.059
 a

00:31:43.059 --> 00:31:43.500
 redeemer.

00:31:44.500 --> 00:31:45.299
 We

00:31:45.299 --> 00:31:45.819
 desperately

00:31:45.819 --> 00:31:46.240
 need

00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:46.440
 a

00:31:46.440 --> 00:31:46.799
 savior.

00:31:47.700 --> 00:31:48.259
 And

00:31:48.259 --> 00:31:48.460
 our

00:31:48.460 --> 00:31:48.960
 redeemer

00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:49.519
 is not

00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:49.920
 Gretchen

00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:50.480
 Thunberg

00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:51.039
 or the

00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:51.440
 United

00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:52.019
 Nations.

00:31:53.220 --> 00:31:53.700
 God

00:31:53.700 --> 00:31:53.920
 has

00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:54.519
 promised

00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:55.319
 to

00:31:55.319 --> 00:31:55.840
 undo

00:31:55.840 --> 00:31:56.779
 the

00:31:56.779 --> 00:31:57.259
 curse

00:31:57.259 --> 00:31:58.299
 and to

00:31:58.299 --> 00:31:58.559
 bring

00:31:58.559 --> 00:31:59.140
 comfort.

00:31:59.900 --> 00:32:00.259
 Look at

00:32:00.259 --> 00:32:01.080
 verse 29.

00:32:02.140 --> 00:32:02.360
 He

00:32:02.360 --> 00:32:02.559
 had

00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:02.940
 promised

00:32:02.940 --> 00:32:03.380
 one

00:32:03.380 --> 00:32:04.319
 Noah

00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:05.500
 and he

00:32:05.500 --> 00:32:06.160
 said he

00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:06.940
 will bring

00:32:06.940 --> 00:32:07.980
 comfort

00:32:07.980 --> 00:32:09.019
 to us.

00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:11.319
 A

00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:11.980
 comforter

00:32:11.980 --> 00:32:12.819
 has been

00:32:12.819 --> 00:32:13.380
 promised.

00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:14.340
 Of

00:32:14.340 --> 00:32:14.860
 course the

00:32:14.860 --> 00:32:15.559
 ultimate

00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:16.460
 comfort that

00:32:16.460 --> 00:32:16.819
 we could

00:32:16.819 --> 00:32:17.519
 ever have

00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:18.279
 is one

00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:18.559
 who would

00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:19.039
 come to

00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:19.799
 deliver us

00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:20.900
 and undo

00:32:20.900 --> 00:32:21.740
 the curse

00:32:21.740 --> 00:32:22.480
 that we

00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:23.180
 live with.

00:32:24.539 --> 00:32:25.519
 When this

00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:26.460
 broken world

00:32:26.460 --> 00:32:26.960
 could be

00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:27.519
 redeemed

00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:28.500
 and this

00:32:28.500 --> 00:32:29.140
 disordered

00:32:29.140 --> 00:32:29.640
 world

00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:30.440
 could be

00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:30.940
 renewed.

00:32:31.840 --> 00:32:32.440
 Isn't that

00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:33.000
 the kind

00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:33.640
 of world

00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:34.480
 we all

00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:35.279
 long for?

00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:37.120
 Where death

00:32:37.120 --> 00:32:37.640
 has been

00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:38.559
 interrupted

00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:40.440
 and everything

00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:41.319
 broken is

00:32:41.319 --> 00:32:41.980
 made right

00:32:41.980 --> 00:32:42.360
 again?

00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:44.859
 well the

00:32:44.859 --> 00:32:45.359
 good news

00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:45.839
 for us

00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:46.419
 is God

00:32:46.419 --> 00:32:46.939
 has

00:32:46.939 --> 00:32:47.819
 interrupted

00:32:47.819 --> 00:32:48.399
 death

00:32:48.399 --> 00:32:48.959
 for us

00:32:48.959 --> 00:32:49.939
 and God

00:32:49.939 --> 00:32:51.159
 is undoing

00:32:51.159 --> 00:32:51.719
 the curse

00:32:51.719 --> 00:32:52.179
 for us.

00:32:52.679 --> 00:32:53.539
 This is

00:32:53.539 --> 00:32:54.279
 the solution

00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:56.179
 and here's

00:32:56.179 --> 00:32:56.500
 how.

00:32:58.899 --> 00:32:59.579
 Through

00:32:59.579 --> 00:33:00.179
 Jesus.

00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:02.619
 Turn with

00:33:02.619 --> 00:33:03.379
 me please

00:33:03.379 --> 00:33:05.019
 to Romans

00:33:05.019 --> 00:33:05.959
 chapter 5.

00:33:06.339 --> 00:33:06.639
 It will

00:33:06.639 --> 00:33:07.319
 help if you

00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:08.139
 follow along

00:33:08.139 --> 00:33:09.339
 in these

00:33:09.339 --> 00:33:09.740
 verses.

00:33:09.939 --> 00:33:10.419
 Romans

00:33:10.420 --> 00:33:12.019
 chapter 5.

00:33:29.300 --> 00:33:30.440
 I want us

00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:30.860
 to be

00:33:30.860 --> 00:33:32.279
 really clear

00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:33.039
 about this.

00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:35.180
 We've been

00:33:35.180 --> 00:33:36.080
 thinking about

00:33:36.080 --> 00:33:36.720
 how God

00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:37.340
 brings us

00:33:37.340 --> 00:33:38.000
 from death

00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:39.300
 to life.

00:33:39.299 --> 00:33:40.159
 how he

00:33:40.159 --> 00:33:41.639
 interrupts

00:33:41.639 --> 00:33:42.139
 death

00:33:42.139 --> 00:33:42.579
 and how

00:33:42.579 --> 00:33:42.980
 he's

00:33:42.980 --> 00:33:43.659
 undoing

00:33:43.659 --> 00:33:44.680
 the curse.

00:33:46.059 --> 00:33:46.500
 And if

00:33:46.500 --> 00:33:46.940
 we're to

00:33:46.940 --> 00:33:47.700
 experience

00:33:47.700 --> 00:33:48.500
 this for

00:33:48.500 --> 00:33:49.319
 ourselves

00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:51.319
 that is

00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:51.700
 to no

00:33:51.700 --> 00:33:52.000
 longer

00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:52.759
 stay in

00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:53.079
 death

00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:53.659
 but move

00:33:53.659 --> 00:33:54.279
 to life

00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:55.519
 then there's

00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:56.019
 some things

00:33:56.019 --> 00:33:56.480
 we've got

00:33:56.480 --> 00:33:56.819
 to be

00:33:56.819 --> 00:33:58.079
 real about

00:33:58.079 --> 00:33:58.859
 and we've

00:33:58.859 --> 00:33:59.139
 got to

00:33:59.139 --> 00:33:59.559
 understand

00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:00.059
 here's the

00:34:00.059 --> 00:34:00.480
 first one

00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:00.799
 we've got

00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:01.440
 to recognise

00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:02.720
 that we

00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:03.180
 are

00:34:03.180 --> 00:34:04.119
 children

00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:05.319
 of Adam.

00:34:06.200 --> 00:34:06.839
 Look at

00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:07.599
 verse 12.

00:34:09.300 --> 00:34:10.019
 Therefore

00:34:10.019 --> 00:34:12.440
 Romans 5

00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:13.039
 verse 12

00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:13.440
 Therefore

00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:14.240
 just as

00:34:14.240 --> 00:34:15.080
 sin entered

00:34:15.080 --> 00:34:15.620
 the world

00:34:15.620 --> 00:34:16.320
 through one

00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:16.740
 man

00:34:16.740 --> 00:34:18.740
 came through

00:34:18.740 --> 00:34:19.360
 Adam and

00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:19.820
 death

00:34:19.820 --> 00:34:21.060
 through sin

00:34:21.060 --> 00:34:22.480
 and in

00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:23.000
 this way

00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:23.700
 death came

00:34:23.700 --> 00:34:25.000
 to all

00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:25.580
 people

00:34:25.580 --> 00:34:26.600
 all of

00:34:26.600 --> 00:34:27.039
 us

00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:27.840
 because

00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:28.840
 all

00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:29.680
 sinned.

00:34:31.220 --> 00:34:31.519
 Do you

00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:31.860
 get it?

00:34:32.019 --> 00:34:32.700
 We've got to

00:34:32.700 --> 00:34:33.720
 recognise this.

00:34:34.260 --> 00:34:35.180
 Because we

00:34:35.180 --> 00:34:35.840
 are children

00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:36.500
 of Adam

00:34:36.500 --> 00:34:37.580
 we too

00:34:37.580 --> 00:34:38.140
 will die.

00:34:38.139 --> 00:34:38.579
 it's the

00:34:38.579 --> 00:34:39.000
 wages

00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:39.900
 of our

00:34:39.900 --> 00:34:40.259
 sin.

00:34:42.799 --> 00:34:43.379
 That's

00:34:43.379 --> 00:34:43.739
 who we

00:34:43.739 --> 00:34:44.099
 are.

00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:46.359
 Now sinful

00:34:46.359 --> 00:34:47.000
 humanity

00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:47.960
 can't fix

00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:48.759
 that problem.

00:34:49.259 --> 00:34:49.659
 We need

00:34:49.659 --> 00:34:50.219
 a redeemer.

00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:50.779
 We need

00:34:50.779 --> 00:34:51.359
 redemption.

00:34:52.319 --> 00:34:52.639
 And that

00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:53.059
 redemption

00:34:53.059 --> 00:34:53.659
 is found

00:34:53.659 --> 00:34:54.619
 in another

00:34:54.619 --> 00:34:55.079
 man.

00:34:55.759 --> 00:34:56.299
 A better

00:34:56.299 --> 00:34:56.639
 Adam.

00:34:56.719 --> 00:34:57.139
 A greater

00:34:57.139 --> 00:34:57.579
 one to

00:34:57.579 --> 00:34:57.759
 come.

00:34:57.839 --> 00:34:58.279
 It's found

00:34:58.279 --> 00:34:59.500
 in Jesus.

00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:01.539
 So we

00:35:01.539 --> 00:35:02.259
 just don't

00:35:02.259 --> 00:35:02.879
 recognise

00:35:02.879 --> 00:35:03.119
 we're

00:35:03.119 --> 00:35:03.460
 children

00:35:03.460 --> 00:35:04.819
 of Adam.

00:35:04.820 --> 00:35:06.019
 we need

00:35:06.019 --> 00:35:06.940
 to receive

00:35:06.940 --> 00:35:08.019
 the gift

00:35:08.019 --> 00:35:08.240
 of

00:35:08.240 --> 00:35:08.820
 righteousness.

00:35:09.100 --> 00:35:09.380
 Look at

00:35:09.380 --> 00:35:10.220
 verse 17.

00:35:13.660 --> 00:35:14.700
 For if

00:35:14.700 --> 00:35:15.720
 by the

00:35:15.720 --> 00:35:16.460
 trespass

00:35:16.460 --> 00:35:17.519
 of one

00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:17.980
 man

00:35:17.980 --> 00:35:18.780
 death

00:35:18.780 --> 00:35:19.240
 reigned

00:35:19.240 --> 00:35:19.500
 through

00:35:19.500 --> 00:35:19.980
 that one

00:35:19.980 --> 00:35:20.220
 man.

00:35:20.360 --> 00:35:20.840
 So because

00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:21.360
 of the

00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:21.720
 sin

00:35:21.720 --> 00:35:22.720
 of Adam

00:35:22.720 --> 00:35:24.260
 death

00:35:24.260 --> 00:35:24.559
 has

00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:24.980
 reigned

00:35:24.980 --> 00:35:25.300
 through

00:35:25.300 --> 00:35:25.940
 that man.

00:35:25.940 --> 00:35:27.340
 How much

00:35:27.340 --> 00:35:27.980
 more

00:35:27.980 --> 00:35:29.320
 will those

00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:30.120
 who receive

00:35:30.120 --> 00:35:30.780
 God's

00:35:30.780 --> 00:35:31.380
 abundant

00:35:31.380 --> 00:35:31.980
 provision

00:35:31.980 --> 00:35:32.660
 of grace

00:35:32.659 --> 00:35:33.019
 and of

00:35:33.019 --> 00:35:33.460
 the gift

00:35:33.460 --> 00:35:33.679
 of

00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:34.239
 righteousness

00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:35.480
 reign

00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:35.960
 in

00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:36.559
 life

00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:37.579
 through

00:35:37.579 --> 00:35:37.839
 the

00:35:37.839 --> 00:35:38.119
 one

00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:38.619
 man

00:35:38.619 --> 00:35:39.639
 Jesus

00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:40.259
 Christ.

00:35:41.980 --> 00:35:42.500
 You see

00:35:42.500 --> 00:35:42.960
 Jesus

00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:43.619
 Christ

00:35:43.619 --> 00:35:44.940
 God's

00:35:44.940 --> 00:35:45.359
 Son

00:35:45.359 --> 00:35:46.500
 has

00:35:46.500 --> 00:35:47.000
 lived

00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:47.559
 the

00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:48.239
 perfect

00:35:48.239 --> 00:35:48.940
 obedient

00:35:48.940 --> 00:35:49.480
 life

00:35:49.480 --> 00:35:49.859
 for us.

00:35:50.219 --> 00:35:50.579
 He has

00:35:50.579 --> 00:35:51.139
 lived a

00:35:51.139 --> 00:35:51.719
 righteous

00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:52.339
 life.

00:35:52.839 --> 00:35:53.059
 A

00:35:53.059 --> 00:35:53.579
 life of

00:35:53.579 --> 00:35:54.299
 justice

00:35:54.299 --> 00:35:54.960
 and

00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:55.579
 purity.

00:35:57.019 --> 00:35:57.759
 Of all

00:35:57.759 --> 00:35:58.359
 the people

00:35:58.359 --> 00:35:59.359
 in Adam's

00:35:59.359 --> 00:36:00.079
 line

00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:00.799
 there was

00:36:00.799 --> 00:36:01.399
 one who

00:36:01.399 --> 00:36:01.799
 came

00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:02.440
 born of

00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:02.880
 a woman

00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:04.039
 Jesus

00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:04.720
 Christ

00:36:04.720 --> 00:36:05.460
 who

00:36:05.460 --> 00:36:05.960
 did

00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:06.680
 not

00:36:06.680 --> 00:36:07.380
 sin.

00:36:08.560 --> 00:36:09.019
 And

00:36:09.019 --> 00:36:09.440
 God

00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:09.760
 now

00:36:09.760 --> 00:36:10.100
 gives

00:36:10.100 --> 00:36:10.720
 to us

00:36:10.720 --> 00:36:11.260
 the

00:36:11.260 --> 00:36:11.700
 gift

00:36:11.700 --> 00:36:12.060
 of

00:36:12.060 --> 00:36:12.620
 Jesus'

00:36:12.940 --> 00:36:13.519
 righteousness

00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:14.620
 so that

00:36:14.620 --> 00:36:15.000
 our

00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:15.380
 sin

00:36:15.380 --> 00:36:15.600
 is

00:36:15.600 --> 00:36:16.000
 covered

00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:16.800
 so that

00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:17.180
 instead

00:36:17.180 --> 00:36:17.480
 of

00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:18.000
 sin

00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:18.660
 instead

00:36:18.660 --> 00:36:18.920
 of

00:36:18.920 --> 00:36:19.380
 death

00:36:19.380 --> 00:36:21.060
 there

00:36:21.060 --> 00:36:21.260
 is

00:36:21.260 --> 00:36:21.760
 life.

00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:26.640
 Think

00:36:26.640 --> 00:36:26.900
 of it

00:36:26.900 --> 00:36:27.160
 like

00:36:27.160 --> 00:36:27.680
 this.

00:36:28.940 --> 00:36:29.360
 If you

00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:29.920
 can imagine

00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:30.640
 this hand

00:36:30.640 --> 00:36:31.340
 my hand

00:36:31.340 --> 00:36:31.760
 here

00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:32.960
 is

00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:34.059
 Adam.

00:36:34.820 --> 00:36:35.200
 We

00:36:35.200 --> 00:36:35.420
 have

00:36:35.420 --> 00:36:35.640
 been

00:36:35.640 --> 00:36:36.260
 born

00:36:36.260 --> 00:36:37.000
 into

00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:37.740
 Adam's

00:36:37.740 --> 00:36:38.400
 family

00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:38.800
 line.

00:36:38.980 --> 00:36:39.100
 We

00:36:39.100 --> 00:36:40.079
 share

00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:40.500
 his

00:36:40.500 --> 00:36:41.280
 likeness.

00:36:42.200 --> 00:36:42.300
 We

00:36:42.300 --> 00:36:42.940
 have

00:36:42.940 --> 00:36:43.300
 his

00:36:43.300 --> 00:36:43.940
 image.

00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:45.660
 This

00:36:45.660 --> 00:36:46.039
 is who

00:36:46.039 --> 00:36:46.620
 we are.

00:36:47.740 --> 00:36:48.140
 In all

00:36:48.140 --> 00:36:48.760
 its mess

00:36:48.760 --> 00:36:49.140
 and all

00:36:49.140 --> 00:36:49.360
 its

00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:49.920
 brokenness

00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:50.640
 death

00:36:50.640 --> 00:36:51.059
 is to

00:36:51.059 --> 00:36:51.400
 come.

00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:52.760
 Now

00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:53.600
 think of

00:36:53.600 --> 00:36:54.240
 this hand

00:36:54.240 --> 00:36:55.000
 as the

00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:55.559
 life of

00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:55.960
 Jesus.

00:36:57.600 --> 00:36:58.380
 One of

00:36:58.380 --> 00:36:58.900
 the family

00:36:58.900 --> 00:36:59.360
 line of

00:36:59.360 --> 00:36:59.599
 Adam

00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:00.039
 but a

00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:00.360
 better

00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:00.700
 Adam

00:37:00.700 --> 00:37:00.900
 a

00:37:00.900 --> 00:37:01.440
 perfect

00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:01.740
 Adam

00:37:01.740 --> 00:37:01.900
 an

00:37:01.900 --> 00:37:02.400
 obedient

00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:02.940
 one

00:37:02.940 --> 00:37:03.880
 who

00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:04.120
 never

00:37:04.120 --> 00:37:04.539
 sinned

00:37:04.539 --> 00:37:04.680
 who

00:37:04.680 --> 00:37:04.940
 never

00:37:04.940 --> 00:37:05.340
 failed

00:37:05.340 --> 00:37:06.000
 who

00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:07.059
 bears

00:37:07.059 --> 00:37:07.720
 God's

00:37:07.720 --> 00:37:08.120
 image

00:37:08.120 --> 00:37:08.700
 fully

00:37:08.700 --> 00:37:09.019
 and

00:37:09.019 --> 00:37:09.620
 completely

00:37:09.620 --> 00:37:11.920
 who

00:37:11.920 --> 00:37:12.620
 reflects

00:37:12.620 --> 00:37:12.980
 the

00:37:12.980 --> 00:37:13.559
 likeness

00:37:13.559 --> 00:37:14.000

00:37:17.500 --> 00:37:18.200
 says to

00:37:18.200 --> 00:37:18.500

00:37:40.240 --> 00:37:41.360
 so

00:37:41.360 --> 00:37:41.560

00:37:41.560 --> 00:37:41.880
 when

00:37:41.880 --> 00:37:42.440
 God

00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:42.720
 now

00:37:42.720 --> 00:37:43.060

00:37:43.060 --> 00:37:43.220
 at

 us

00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:43.800
 he

00:37:43.800 --> 00:37:44.180
 doesn't

00:37:44.180 --> 00:37:44.700
 see

00:37:44.700 --> 00:37:46.539

00:37:49.340 --> 00:37:49.619
 Adam

00:37:49.619 --> 00:37:50.840

00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:50.980
 he

00:37:50.980 --> 00:37:51.260
 now

00:37:51.260 --> 00:37:51.980
 sees

 have

00:38:29.800 --> 00:38:31.279
 than

00:38:31.279 --> 00:38:31.759
 something

00:38:31.759 --> 00:38:32.059
 that

00:38:32.059 --> 00:38:32.440
 God

00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:32.860
 does

00:38:32.860 --> 00:38:33.059
 for

00:38:33.059 --> 00:38:33.440
 you

00:38:33.440 --> 00:38:33.980
 and

00:38:33.980 --> 00:38:34.179
 for

00:38:34.179 --> 00:38:34.440
 me

00:38:34.440 --> 00:38:35.059
 he

00:38:35.059 --> 00:38:35.480
 gives

00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:35.860
 us

00:38:35.860 --> 00:38:36.460
 his

00:38:36.460 --> 00:38:37.099
 righteousness

00:38:37.099 --> 00:38:38.039
 which

00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:38.320
 we

00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:38.980
 receive

00:38:38.980 --> 00:38:39.559
 by

00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:40.179
 faith

00:38:40.179 --> 00:38:41.679
 so

00:38:41.679 --> 00:38:41.859
 that

00:38:41.859 --> 00:38:42.019
 we

00:38:42.019 --> 00:38:42.239
 may

00:38:42.239 --> 00:38:42.500
 be

00:38:42.500 --> 00:38:42.980
 covered

00:38:42.980 --> 00:38:44.519
 once

00:38:44.519 --> 00:38:45.319
 and

00:38:45.319 --> 00:38:45.539
 for

00:38:45.539 --> 00:38:46.000
 all

00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:49.299
 remember

00:38:49.299 --> 00:38:49.899
 Enoch

00:38:49.899 --> 00:38:50.579
 who

00:38:50.579 --> 00:38:50.940
 didn't

00:38:50.940 --> 00:38:51.339
 die

00:38:51.339 --> 00:38:52.500
 but

00:38:52.500 --> 00:38:52.799
 God

00:38:52.799 --> 00:38:53.079
 just

00:38:53.079 --> 00:38:53.359
 took

00:38:53.359 --> 00:38:53.659
 him

00:38:53.659 --> 00:38:55.539
 Enoch

00:38:55.539 --> 00:38:55.859
 looked

00:38:55.859 --> 00:38:56.500
 forward

00:38:56.500 --> 00:38:57.579
 in

00:38:57.579 --> 00:38:58.039
 faith

00:38:58.039 --> 00:38:58.319
 to

00:38:58.319 --> 00:38:58.480
 the

00:38:58.480 --> 00:38:58.819
 coming

00:38:58.819 --> 00:38:59.639
 promised

00:38:59.639 --> 00:39:00.159
 redeemer

00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:02.379
 this

00:39:02.379 --> 00:39:02.679
 gift

00:39:02.679 --> 00:39:02.879
 of

00:39:02.879 --> 00:39:03.359
 righteousness

00:39:03.359 --> 00:39:03.739
 is

00:39:03.739 --> 00:39:04.099
 ours

00:39:04.099 --> 00:39:04.339
 as

00:39:04.339 --> 00:39:04.519
 we

00:39:04.519 --> 00:39:04.839
 look

00:39:04.839 --> 00:39:05.679
 back

00:39:05.679 --> 00:39:06.299
 in

00:39:06.299 --> 00:39:06.759
 faith

00:39:06.759 --> 00:39:07.460
 to

00:39:07.460 --> 00:39:07.819
 Jesus

00:39:07.819 --> 00:39:08.379
 Christ

00:39:08.380 --> 00:39:09.480
 the

00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:09.660
 one

00:39:09.660 --> 00:39:09.840
 who

00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:10.200
 died

00:39:10.200 --> 00:39:10.500
 our

00:39:10.500 --> 00:39:10.920
 death

00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:11.840
 the

00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:12.039
 one

00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:12.200
 who

00:39:12.200 --> 00:39:12.380
 was

00:39:12.380 --> 00:39:13.059
 raised

00:39:13.059 --> 00:39:13.559
 again

00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:15.400
 defeating

00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:15.920
 death

00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:16.579
 destroying

00:39:16.579 --> 00:39:17.000
 death

00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:17.320
 and the

00:39:17.320 --> 00:39:17.680
 grave

00:39:17.680 --> 00:39:18.180
 for

00:39:18.180 --> 00:39:18.480
 us

00:39:18.480 --> 00:39:18.980
 we

00:39:18.980 --> 00:39:19.260
 look

00:39:19.260 --> 00:39:19.460
 in

00:39:19.460 --> 00:39:19.900
 faith

00:39:19.900 --> 00:39:20.360
 to

00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:20.740
 him

00:39:20.740 --> 00:39:22.019
 you

00:39:22.019 --> 00:39:22.240
 see

00:39:22.240 --> 00:39:22.539
 what

00:39:22.539 --> 00:39:22.920
 God

00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:23.200
 did

00:39:23.200 --> 00:39:23.440
 for

00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:24.000
 Enoch

00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:24.480
 for

00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:24.840
 just

00:39:24.840 --> 00:39:25.280
 one

00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:27.039
 God

00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:27.280
 can

00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:27.500
 do

00:39:27.500 --> 00:39:27.780
 for

00:39:27.780 --> 00:39:28.360
 all

00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:28.680
 who

 in

00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:29.840
 him

00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:31.180
 yes

00:39:31.180 --> 00:39:31.780
 you

00:39:31.780 --> 00:39:31.960
 and

00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:32.180
 I

00:39:32.180 --> 00:39:32.519
 each

00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:32.780
 one

00:39:32.780 --> 00:39:32.880
 of

00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:33.039
 us

00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:33.240
 we

00:39:33.240 --> 00:39:33.420
 will

00:39:33.420 --> 00:39:33.800
 die

00:39:33.800 --> 00:39:34.460
 physically

00:39:34.460 --> 00:39:36.200
 we

00:39:36.200 --> 00:39:36.420
 will

00:39:36.420 --> 00:39:36.740
 have

00:39:36.740 --> 00:39:36.960
 our

00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:37.480
 funeral

00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:38.800
 people

00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:39.119
 will

00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:39.500
 mourn

00:39:39.500 --> 00:39:39.719
 us

00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:39.940
 and

00:39:39.940 --> 00:39:40.340
 grieve

00:39:40.340 --> 00:39:40.619
 for

00:39:40.619 --> 00:39:41.079
 us

00:39:41.079 --> 00:39:42.420
 but

00:39:42.420 --> 00:39:42.559
 you

00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:42.760
 know

00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:43.039
 what

00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:43.219
 if

00:39:43.219 --> 00:39:43.400
 we

00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:43.599
 are

00:39:43.599 --> 00:39:44.139
 trusting

00:39:44.139 --> 00:39:44.559
 in

00:39:44.559 --> 00:39:45.079
 Christ

00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:47.019
 our

00:39:47.019 --> 00:39:47.659
 funeral

00:39:47.659 --> 00:39:48.400
 our

00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:48.840
 death

00:39:48.840 --> 00:39:49.059
 is

00:39:49.059 --> 00:39:49.300
 only

00:39:49.300 --> 00:39:49.559
 the

00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:50.019
 blink

00:39:50.019 --> 00:39:50.199
 of

00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:50.360
 an

00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:50.599
 eye

00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:51.079
 it

00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:51.280
 is

00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:51.480
 the

00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:52.039
 beginning

00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:52.820
 of

00:39:52.820 --> 00:39:53.480
 eternal

00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:54.159
 life

00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:54.880
 in

 the

00:39:55.019 --> 00:39:55.320
 new

00:39:55.320 --> 00:39:55.980
 creation

00:39:55.980 --> 00:39:56.699
 this

00:39:56.699 --> 00:39:56.920
 is

00:39:56.920 --> 00:39:57.159
 our

00:39:57.159 --> 00:39:57.619
 true

00:39:57.619 --> 00:39:58.219
 comfort

00:39:58.219 --> 00:39:58.900
 in

00:39:58.900 --> 00:39:59.079
 our

00:39:59.079 --> 00:39:59.599
 painful

00:39:59.599 --> 00:40:00.179
 toil

00:40:00.179 --> 00:40:00.740
 in

00:40:00.740 --> 00:40:00.920
 our

00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:01.420
 struggle

00:40:01.420 --> 00:40:01.760
 through

00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:02.079
 this

00:40:02.079 --> 00:40:02.440
 life

00:40:04.519 --> 00:40:04.699
 the

00:40:04.699 --> 00:40:05.179
 promise

00:40:05.179 --> 00:40:05.420
 that

00:40:05.420 --> 00:40:05.579
 is

00:40:05.579 --> 00:40:05.820
 yet

00:40:05.820 --> 00:40:06.019
 to

00:40:06.019 --> 00:40:06.340
 come

00:40:06.340 --> 00:40:06.820
 a

00:40:06.820 --> 00:40:07.219
 world

00:40:07.219 --> 00:40:07.500
 that

00:40:07.500 --> 00:40:07.699
 will

00:40:07.699 --> 00:40:08.079
 never

00:40:08.079 --> 00:40:08.579
 break

00:40:08.579 --> 00:40:09.059
 and

00:40:09.059 --> 00:40:09.259
 where

00:40:09.259 --> 00:40:09.659
 people

00:40:09.659 --> 00:40:09.959
 will

00:40:09.959 --> 00:40:10.419
 never

00:40:10.419 --> 00:40:10.839
 ever

00:40:10.839 --> 00:40:11.319
 die

00:40:11.319 --> 00:40:11.819
 a

00:40:11.819 --> 00:40:12.219
 world

00:40:12.219 --> 00:40:12.659
 without

00:40:12.659 --> 00:40:12.939
 the

00:40:12.939 --> 00:40:13.379
 curse

00:40:13.379 --> 00:40:14.059
 and

00:40:14.059 --> 00:40:14.419
 without

 sin

00:40:14.859 --> 00:40:20.639
 let me

00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:21.000
 tell you

00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:21.279
 this

00:40:21.279 --> 00:40:21.599
 and I

00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:21.759
 don't

00:40:21.759 --> 00:40:21.980
 want

00:40:21.980 --> 00:40:22.299
 any

00:40:22.299 --> 00:40:22.659

 leave

00:40:23.099 --> 00:40:23.319
 this

00:40:23.319 --> 00:40:23.559
 room

00:40:23.559 --> 00:40:23.819
 without

00:40:23.819 --> 00:40:24.179
 being

00:40:24.179 --> 00:40:24.599
 clear

00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:26.019
 you

00:40:26.019 --> 00:40:26.299
 are

00:40:33.480 --> 00:40:34.019
 Christ

00:40:34.019 --> 00:40:34.859
 through

00:40:34.859 --> 00:40:35.419
 faith

00:40:35.420 --> 00:40:37.000
 where

 are you

00:40:37.539 --> 00:40:38.200
 this
