WEBVTT 00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:04.780 Well, we're going to begin our worship by singing to God's praise. 00:00:04.860 --> 00:00:11.240 We're going to sing in Psalm 34, verse 7 to 11, the Sing Psalms version. 00:00:11.859 --> 00:00:13.859 I'm going to sing from verse 7 to 11. 00:00:14.980 --> 00:00:19.539 The angel of the Lord surrounds and guards continually all those who fear and honour him. 00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:21.320 He sets his people free. 00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:25.460 And then verse 11, it reminds us of what we come together for today. 00:00:25.460 --> 00:00:34.439 Come here, my children, gather round and listen to my word, and I will help you understand how you may fear the Lord. 00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:39.160 So we're going to sing, we'll stand to sing verse 7 to 11 to God's praise. 00:00:39.160 --> 00:00:54.520 The angel of the Lord surrounds and guards continually 00:00:54.520 --> 00:01:09.579 All those who fear and honour him, he sets his people free. 00:01:09.579 --> 00:01:25.539 Come, taste and see the Lord is good, who trusts in him, is blessed. 00:01:25.540 --> 00:01:39.540 Oh, fear the Lord, you saints with need, you will not be oppressed. 00:01:39.540 --> 00:01:56.240 Young lions may grow weak and faint and hunger for their food, 00:01:56.239 --> 00:02:11.240 But those who wait upon the Lord will not lack any good. 00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:27.660 Come here, my children, gather round and listen to my word, 00:02:27.659 --> 00:02:43.139 And I will help you understand how you may fear the Lord. 00:02:43.139 --> 00:02:50.759 I will join together in prayer just now. 00:02:50.819 --> 00:02:51.559 Let us pray. 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.659 Our Father in heaven, as we gather in your name today, 00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.519 We are thankful for this great privilege that we have, 00:03:01.079 --> 00:03:03.799 That we are able to come and sing praise to you, 00:03:03.839 --> 00:03:08.399 That we are able to come and hear you and your words speaking to us. 00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:12.379 And as we read and as we sing and as we do all of these things, 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.180 May we know your peace and your blessing over us, 00:03:15.379 --> 00:03:17.939 And your help and your strength in all that we do. 00:03:18.580 --> 00:03:23.840 We do thank you for this time of family service after a holiday club week. 00:03:24.260 --> 00:03:26.520 We thank you for all that was done during the week, 00:03:26.540 --> 00:03:28.640 And we have so much to be thankful for, 00:03:28.700 --> 00:03:31.540 For all who helped, for all who came along, 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.280 For all that was done. 00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:36.140 But above all, Lord, that you were with us, 00:03:36.139 --> 00:03:38.099 That you were in the midst of it all. 00:03:38.799 --> 00:03:40.659 And we pray that you will bless us, 00:03:40.859 --> 00:03:42.000 Young and old alike, 00:03:42.699 --> 00:03:45.099 To know that joy that you are able to give. 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:49.239 To know that as we see so many athletes in these weeks, 00:03:49.339 --> 00:03:50.979 Just now of the Olympics in Paris, 00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:53.359 Striving for a gold medal, 00:03:53.519 --> 00:03:55.239 But so many are left disappointed. 00:03:56.019 --> 00:03:58.399 We thank you that when we come and follow you, 00:03:58.939 --> 00:04:01.000 That you never leave us disappointed, 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.939 But that you give us that sense of real joy, 00:04:05.219 --> 00:04:07.719 Your real presence with us, 00:04:07.979 --> 00:04:10.120 And that we are encouraged to look to Jesus, 00:04:10.419 --> 00:04:13.180 And follow you with all of our hearts. 00:04:13.740 --> 00:04:15.439 And so we give you thanks, O Lord, 00:04:15.539 --> 00:04:17.060 For all your goodness to us, 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.019 And we ask that as we go on, 00:04:19.060 --> 00:04:20.040 Even in this week ahead, 00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:21.779 That you will be with us in our homes, 00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:22.800 And in our families, 00:04:23.300 --> 00:04:24.240 In our communities. 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:26.579 Bless every family here, 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:27.680 Present, 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.860 And also tuning in online. 00:04:30.660 --> 00:04:32.340 We give you thanks for each one, 00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:34.900 And know that there are many going through different needs, 00:04:34.900 --> 00:04:37.220 And different challenges at this time. 00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:40.319 And so we pray for each one who needs you in different ways, 00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:42.139 Times of sadness and sorrow, 00:04:42.660 --> 00:04:43.720 Times of sickness, 00:04:44.579 --> 00:04:46.060 Times of worry and anxiety. 00:04:46.780 --> 00:04:47.720 We do pray, Lord, 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.519 For so many who go through these times just now, 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:52.699 And pray that your blessing, 00:04:52.840 --> 00:04:54.420 Your peace might be upon them. 00:04:55.180 --> 00:04:56.199 And so we ask, Lord, 00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:58.399 That as we continue to worship you just now, 00:04:58.500 --> 00:05:00.920 That you will guide us in your word, 00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:02.420 Guide us in your truth, 00:05:02.539 --> 00:05:04.879 Help it to be a light for our lives, 00:05:04.979 --> 00:05:06.719 That we would see you and your glory, 00:05:07.219 --> 00:05:08.480 The beauty of Jesus, 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.139 And that we would come and follow him, 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:12.919 With all of our hearts. 00:05:13.180 --> 00:05:14.459 So look down upon us, 00:05:14.539 --> 00:05:16.060 Bless us throughout this day, 00:05:16.139 --> 00:05:16.699 Be with us, 00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:19.259 As we gather for worship this evening as well. 00:05:19.379 --> 00:05:20.319 Remember, Kenny I, 00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:21.819 As he comes to preach to us, 00:05:22.379 --> 00:05:24.000 Pull them and strengthen him in that, 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.480 And that throughout this day and in all our days, 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.480 We would know your goodness and mercy following us. 00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:31.259 So hear our prayers, 00:05:31.339 --> 00:05:33.079 And continue with us at this time, 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:34.899 Pardoning all our sin, 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:37.639 As we ask all in Jesus' precious name. 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:38.620 Amen. 00:05:38.620 --> 00:05:42.980 I want us to read a few verses together. 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:44.340 Now if you're at the holiday club, 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.680 You'll recognize these verses. 00:05:46.899 --> 00:05:48.879 It's in Luke chapter 6, 00:05:49.620 --> 00:05:54.100 And we're reading at verse 46 to verse 49. 00:05:54.100 --> 00:05:55.740 You'll find this on page 3, 00:05:56.420 --> 00:05:58.360 Of the little leaflets you have. 00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:01.780 I'm just going to read these few verses together. 00:06:01.779 --> 00:06:06.579 Why do you call me Lord, Lord, 00:06:06.979 --> 00:06:08.639 And not do what I tell you? 00:06:09.419 --> 00:06:12.939 Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, 00:06:13.359 --> 00:06:15.199 I will show you what he is like. 00:06:15.859 --> 00:06:17.619 He is like a man building a house, 00:06:17.739 --> 00:06:20.299 Who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:22.500 And when a flood arose, 00:06:22.599 --> 00:06:24.619 The stream broke against that house, 00:06:25.159 --> 00:06:26.479 And could not shake it, 00:06:26.699 --> 00:06:28.319 Because it had been well built. 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:31.860 But the one who hears and does not do them, 00:06:32.139 --> 00:06:35.560 Is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:38.199 When the stream broke against it, 00:06:38.719 --> 00:06:40.019 Immediately it fell, 00:06:40.620 --> 00:06:43.699 And the ruin of that house was great. 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:48.439 There we read of the wise and the foolish builder. 00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:51.740 And we're going to come back to that in a wee moment. 00:06:51.860 --> 00:06:55.240 But I want to say just a few words as a way of introduction just now. 00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.199 And after this we're going to have a singing. 00:06:58.819 --> 00:07:02.019 And if any of the younger ones who maybe want to go to the holiday twinnies, 00:07:02.099 --> 00:07:04.219 That's the point that they can go out then. 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:06.040 But we hope that being a family service, 00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:08.319 That the majority will be able to stay in. 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:12.060 So who was following the Olympics this week? 00:07:12.779 --> 00:07:13.819 Were you tuning in? 00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:15.579 Following what was happening? 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:16.959 I don't mean the one in Paris. 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:20.639 I mean the Champions Challenge Olympic Holiday Club 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:22.039 That was taking place here. 00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:25.279 With everything that was happening in the hall next door. 00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.199 We had a great week together. 00:07:27.539 --> 00:07:28.959 Doing so many different things. 00:07:29.019 --> 00:07:30.259 We had many different events. 00:07:30.819 --> 00:07:33.159 We had many different athletes on show. 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:35.219 Some looking more athletic than others. 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:36.939 But a great variety. 00:07:37.099 --> 00:07:38.479 And we had crafts and games. 00:07:38.599 --> 00:07:40.099 We had medal hunts and drama. 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:42.759 But above all we had, 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.680 The central thing was Jesus. 00:07:47.620 --> 00:07:50.039 And hearing all about Jesus. 00:07:50.219 --> 00:07:51.959 What he has done for us. 00:07:52.300 --> 00:07:54.240 And what he does for us. 00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:57.819 And every day the different theme was based on Jesus. 00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:00.039 And Jesus as a coach. 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:01.819 Jesus as a first aider. 00:08:02.339 --> 00:08:03.199 There was a teammate. 00:08:03.659 --> 00:08:04.539 There was a substitute. 00:08:05.400 --> 00:08:07.319 And then on the Friday we had the champion. 00:08:08.100 --> 00:08:11.460 So we're looking at Jesus in all of these different ways. 00:08:12.620 --> 00:08:15.420 Now the Paris Olympics, they're still going on. 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.560 But in another week they'll come to a close. 00:08:18.660 --> 00:08:20.480 And when the Olympics come to a close, 00:08:20.580 --> 00:08:22.720 They have a big closing ceremony. 00:08:23.640 --> 00:08:26.560 And so today is a little like a closing ceremony. 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:27.740 For our Olympics. 00:08:28.140 --> 00:08:29.220 For our week of Olympics. 00:08:30.180 --> 00:08:31.660 But I don't want us to be sad. 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.060 As things come to an end this week. 00:08:34.539 --> 00:08:35.519 I want us to be happy. 00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:38.500 Happy about all that we did and all that we heard. 00:08:39.459 --> 00:08:41.819 And there was a story we heard on Friday. 00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:45.139 About a man called Eric Liddell. 00:08:45.899 --> 00:08:49.860 Now he won Olympic gold in Paris. 00:08:50.980 --> 00:08:52.740 But it wasn't this week. 00:08:53.179 --> 00:08:56.259 It was a hundred years ago. 00:08:56.579 --> 00:08:58.719 Back in 1924. 00:08:59.299 --> 00:09:01.639 I'm sure many people here are familiar with the film 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:02.719 Chariots of Fire. 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:05.840 Based on the story of Eric Liddell. 00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:08.700 And the amazing thing about him was, 00:09:09.100 --> 00:09:11.320 He was a Christian who honoured God. 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:14.100 He put God first in everything he did. 00:09:14.180 --> 00:09:16.259 So the event he wanted to be in, he wasn't. 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.060 And yet he still won gold in the 400 metres. 00:09:20.059 --> 00:09:23.699 And it's amazing that a hundred years later, 00:09:24.119 --> 00:09:25.979 We're still talking about him. 00:09:25.979 --> 00:09:28.000 And thinking about what he did. 00:09:28.079 --> 00:09:30.079 How he stood up for his faith. 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.279 And I hope that's what it will be like for ourselves 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:35.799 As we come away from our holiday club. 00:09:36.479 --> 00:09:37.759 That in years to come, 00:09:38.259 --> 00:09:42.319 We will speak about all that we've learned and heard and seen this week. 00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:46.480 And go on giving praise and glory to God. 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.820 And sharing about the good news of Jesus. 00:09:51.620 --> 00:09:54.740 And today we're going to look at some of the highlights of the week. 00:09:54.800 --> 00:09:56.140 We're going to look at some of the things, 00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:57.860 The passages that we were looking at. 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.480 And some of the themes that we were thinking about. 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:04.279 But they're all based around our memory verse. 00:10:04.779 --> 00:10:07.759 Now, look up to me just now for a minute. 00:10:08.019 --> 00:10:09.620 Who remembers the memory verse? 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:12.220 Do you want to say it with me? 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:14.700 Shall we say it together? 00:10:14.980 --> 00:10:16.820 So everybody can hear what we were learning. 00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:18.500 Right, let's go. 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:23.860 If anyone would come after me. 00:10:23.860 --> 00:10:27.159 He will deny himself. 00:10:27.860 --> 00:10:29.720 Take up his cross. 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.000 And follow me. 00:10:33.820 --> 00:10:34.340 Excellent. 00:10:37.539 --> 00:10:38.060 23. 00:10:39.940 --> 00:10:40.419 Brilliant. 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:41.659 All remembered. 00:10:41.740 --> 00:10:44.180 And there's no words up on the screen anywhere to help you there. 00:10:44.500 --> 00:10:45.740 So, well remembered. 00:10:45.800 --> 00:10:48.879 That's the verse that was our memory verse for the week. 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:50.860 And as we were going through the week, 00:10:50.860 --> 00:10:54.980 the word of God was always central to everything that we were doing. 00:10:55.300 --> 00:10:57.159 So we think of the Olympics, 00:10:57.300 --> 00:11:00.200 and they have the Olympic flame burning for the whole time 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.500 that the Olympics is going on. 00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:05.560 That's the way it was for us with God's word. 00:11:05.680 --> 00:11:09.840 It was like the word of God was the light in the midst of everything that we were doing. 00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:12.159 And there's a psalm that tells us about that. 00:11:12.740 --> 00:11:15.600 It's Psalm 119 and verse 105. 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:16.240 It says, 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.940 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a lamp to my path. 00:11:21.019 --> 00:11:24.360 Do you remember what the craft was on Monday, anybody? 00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:26.460 What did we do on Monday? 00:11:28.220 --> 00:11:29.680 The torch, wasn't it? 00:11:29.680 --> 00:11:30.919 The Olympic torch. 00:11:31.100 --> 00:11:33.659 Well, look what I've got here. 00:11:35.100 --> 00:11:37.240 Do you remember seeing this during the week? 00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:37.639 Yeah? 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:41.539 Well, the rest of people here who weren't at the holiday club wouldn't have seen this. 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:43.299 This is an Olympic torch. 00:11:43.299 --> 00:11:46.240 And on the top of it is where the fire goes. 00:11:46.740 --> 00:11:49.339 So this is a real Olympic torch. 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:52.919 And we think of that, it's the fire that keeps burning. 00:11:53.539 --> 00:11:59.179 And we want to think of Jesus as that fire, that light to the world that keeps burning. 00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:00.979 We were singing one of the songs, and it was, 00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:03.500 Give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning. 00:12:04.199 --> 00:12:05.799 And that's what we were looking at during the week. 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:10.359 And we were so thankful that as Jesus was with us during the week, 00:12:10.359 --> 00:12:16.620 He was keeping us going and keeping us looking to His word and encouraging us through it. 00:12:16.620 --> 00:12:22.899 All around that sense of following Jesus, denying ourselves, and following Him. 00:12:23.699 --> 00:12:29.120 And so we're going to look at three different things to help us understand what that means. 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:32.220 But before we do, we're going to sing. 00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:34.220 We're going to think about three things. 00:12:34.419 --> 00:12:38.399 Listen, look, and live. 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:41.100 That's the three things we're going to look at today. 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:45.820 But before we come to the first one, we're going to sing Psalm 145. 00:12:45.820 --> 00:12:51.460 Again, let's sing Psalm's version, Psalm 145. 00:12:51.940 --> 00:12:54.700 And we'll sing from verse 15 to 21. 00:12:54.860 --> 00:12:59.120 And as I say, during this singing, if any of the younger ones would like to go out to tweenies, 00:12:59.140 --> 00:13:01.220 you can do so during this singing. 00:13:01.620 --> 00:13:06.840 All eyes are raised expectantly to you, and in due season you supply their food. 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:13.700 You open wide your hand to all that live and satisfy their needs with what is good. 00:13:13.700 --> 00:13:17.740 We'll sing from verse 15 to 21 to God's praise. 00:13:17.740 --> 00:13:41.020 All eyes are raised expectantly to you, and in due season you supply their food. 00:13:41.019 --> 00:14:01.679 You open wide your hand to all that live and satisfy their needs with what is good. 00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:12.479 The Lord is just and good in all his ways. 00:14:12.479 --> 00:14:23.039 He shows his love to all that he has made. 00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:44.679 The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call in through to him for aid. 00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:55.639 The hopes of those who fear him he fulfills. 00:14:55.639 --> 00:15:05.179 He hears their cry, saves them from distress. 00:15:05.179 --> 00:15:16.879 The Lord protects all those who love his name. 00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:27.979 But slays all those who practice wickedness. 00:15:27.980 --> 00:15:38.399 My lips will frame a psalm of thanks to God. 00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:49.680 My mouth will speak forever in his praise. 00:15:49.679 --> 00:16:00.379 Let every creature magnify the Lord. 00:16:00.379 --> 00:16:10.219 And praise his holy name now and always. 00:16:10.220 --> 00:16:11.220 Amen. 00:16:11.220 --> 00:16:12.220 Amen. 00:16:18.220 --> 00:16:22.639 Well, I want us to think about our first part this morning together. 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:24.259 We're thinking of listening. 00:16:25.340 --> 00:16:29.759 Listening on Monday, we're thinking about the coach and how we have to listen to the coach. 00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:34.100 That's the first part of what we're looking at together today, the idea of listening. 00:16:34.100 --> 00:16:39.879 And this is based on that reading that we had together in Luke chapter 6, the one who built 00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:46.120 his house upon the rock and the one who built his house upon the sand, the ground without 00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:47.279 foundation. 00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:54.840 Now, a good number of years ago in Glasgow, there was a preacher who was preaching at Glasgow 00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:55.279 Green. 00:16:55.800 --> 00:17:02.220 Glasgow Green is a big park in Glasgow and it's quite near to the river there, the river Clyde. 00:17:02.220 --> 00:17:05.799 And he was preaching about the gospel, about Jesus. 00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:10.500 And after he'd finished preaching, there was a man in the crowd who stood up and wanted to speak. 00:17:11.339 --> 00:17:13.240 And so they let him speak. 00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:18.240 And what he started to say was that he didn't believe anything that the preacher had said. 00:17:18.860 --> 00:17:20.660 He was saying, I don't believe in heaven. 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:22.539 I don't believe in judgment. 00:17:23.180 --> 00:17:25.100 I don't believe in anything of these things. 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:26.160 It's not true. 00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:28.779 And I don't believe in God, he said. 00:17:29.299 --> 00:17:30.620 I've never seen him. 00:17:30.619 --> 00:17:33.639 I can't believe in God. 00:17:34.259 --> 00:17:35.399 And then he sat down. 00:17:35.459 --> 00:17:37.219 And then another man got up. 00:17:37.819 --> 00:17:39.119 And he started to speak. 00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:42.199 And he started to speak in a funny way. 00:17:42.299 --> 00:17:45.159 He said, I don't believe that there's a river near here. 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:46.539 I've never seen it. 00:17:46.579 --> 00:17:48.539 I don't believe that it's there. 00:17:49.219 --> 00:17:52.619 And he said, you tell me that there are trees and grass all around us here. 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:54.099 I don't believe it. 00:17:54.459 --> 00:17:56.239 I've never seen them. 00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:00.240 And he said, you see that there are people all around me here. 00:18:00.299 --> 00:18:01.240 There's a large crowd. 00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:03.339 I said, I don't believe it. 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:09.420 And he said, you maybe wonder how I can say these things or why I'm saying these things. 00:18:09.460 --> 00:18:11.519 You must think that I'm daft. 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:15.139 But then he went on to say, you know why I can say these things? 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:16.980 It's because I'm blind. 00:18:17.740 --> 00:18:21.720 I can't see anything with my eyes. 00:18:22.740 --> 00:18:24.759 But he said, but I know God. 00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:28.400 And I know that God is real. 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:36.700 And looking at the first man who had spoken, he said to him, you cannot see him because you're spiritually blind. 00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:39.780 But he said, there is a God. 00:18:40.259 --> 00:18:42.320 And you need him. 00:18:44.180 --> 00:18:47.420 Who of these two men would you listen to? 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:50.800 There was one who was wise. 00:18:51.180 --> 00:18:53.920 And there was one who was foolish. 00:18:53.920 --> 00:19:00.960 Well, that's exactly what Jesus is speaking about here as he speaks about these two men. 00:19:01.420 --> 00:19:08.539 One who built his house upon the rock and one who built his house upon the ground with no foundation. 00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:12.720 He was speaking to a large crowd here. 00:19:13.779 --> 00:19:19.900 And as he was speaking, he was speaking to them in this way that they were to listen to what he was saying. 00:19:19.900 --> 00:19:25.360 But he was saying, you call me Lord, Lord, and yet you don't listen. 00:19:27.060 --> 00:19:32.480 And this week when we were thinking of Jesus as the coach, we needed to listen to Jesus as the coach. 00:19:33.100 --> 00:19:35.759 But these people were saying like, yes, coach, yes, coach. 00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:38.600 But they weren't doing anything that they were being told. 00:19:40.660 --> 00:19:43.420 And so he describes it in this way. 00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:46.100 He uses the illustration of these two builders. 00:19:46.099 --> 00:19:51.539 And the question behind it all is, are we listening to Jesus today? 00:19:52.539 --> 00:19:55.419 Are we listening to what he says? 00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:59.159 One of these builders was wise. 00:19:59.419 --> 00:20:00.759 Where did he build his house? 00:20:01.719 --> 00:20:02.819 What did he build it on? 00:20:02.899 --> 00:20:04.599 Do you remember what we were thinking about during the week? 00:20:05.159 --> 00:20:07.019 Where did the wise man build his house? 00:20:07.439 --> 00:20:10.339 Upon the rock, wasn't it? 00:20:10.980 --> 00:20:15.319 And where did the foolish man, silly Billy as we was called, where did he build his house? 00:20:16.099 --> 00:20:17.779 On the sand. 00:20:18.179 --> 00:20:19.139 So who was wise? 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:20.119 Who was foolish? 00:20:22.899 --> 00:20:24.579 He was wise, wasn't he? 00:20:24.879 --> 00:20:26.740 One built upon the rock. 00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:28.119 He was wise. 00:20:28.199 --> 00:20:37.579 Because as Jesus describes here, when the flood came, the only house that stood was the one that was built on the rock. 00:20:37.939 --> 00:20:42.259 The one that was built on the sand just got washed away. 00:20:42.259 --> 00:20:47.660 And the Bible often speaks about wise and foolish people. 00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.299 In Psalm 14, for example, in verse 1, it says there, 00:20:52.740 --> 00:20:56.119 The fool says in his heart, what? 00:20:56.839 --> 00:20:59.640 There is no God. 00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:04.840 Like that man at Glasgow Green who stood up to say that, I can't believe in God. 00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:05.740 I've never seen him. 00:21:06.180 --> 00:21:06.940 He's a fool. 00:21:07.500 --> 00:21:08.860 That's what the Bible says. 00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:12.540 The fool says in his heart, there is no God. 00:21:12.539 --> 00:21:17.619 But the wise, we build our house upon the rock. 00:21:18.139 --> 00:21:19.879 The rock, that is Jesus. 00:21:20.019 --> 00:21:21.680 We listen to the coach. 00:21:21.940 --> 00:21:24.200 And in Ephesians chapter 5, it says, 00:21:24.440 --> 00:21:33.220 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise, making the best use of the time. 00:21:33.220 --> 00:21:41.740 That's encouraging us to listen to Jesus, make the best use of the time. 00:21:42.460 --> 00:21:48.160 So it's so important for us that as we come to worship God and to learn about him, 00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:52.920 that we do that first and foremost, that we listen to what he is saying. 00:21:53.339 --> 00:21:54.620 As Jesus says here, 00:21:54.620 --> 00:21:59.019 You call me Lord, Lord, and do not do what I tell you. 00:21:59.019 --> 00:22:03.960 It's like listening to the coach and just going and doing your own thing. 00:22:04.099 --> 00:22:04.740 It's foolish. 00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:09.440 But let's be wise and listen to the coach. 00:22:10.099 --> 00:22:10.920 Listen to Jesus. 00:22:11.619 --> 00:22:13.859 Listen to what he's saying to us as he says, 00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:15.460 Come and follow me. 00:22:15.859 --> 00:22:16.619 Deny yourself. 00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:19.680 Take up your cross and follow me. 00:22:20.180 --> 00:22:22.259 So are we listening to the coach? 00:22:22.259 --> 00:22:24.400 Are we listening to Jesus today? 00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:30.180 That's the first thing that we're thinking about, that we were thinking about during the week. 00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:36.580 Well, to help us further look at this, we want to think about what he does for us. 00:22:36.780 --> 00:22:37.740 And we want to read again. 00:22:38.340 --> 00:22:41.500 We're going to read our next reading, which is in Luke chapter 23. 00:22:43.580 --> 00:22:47.800 And this is at verse 39 to verse 47. 00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:56.279 There's so many different parts that we could read for what Jesus has done for us. 00:22:56.339 --> 00:22:58.419 So many things that we thought about during the week. 00:22:58.899 --> 00:23:02.639 But I think the best place to read about Jesus and what he has done for us 00:23:02.639 --> 00:23:06.079 is to think about Jesus at the cross. 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:10.839 And so we're thinking of him here in verse 39. 00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:16.240 Here Jesus has been put on the cross to die for his people. 00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:20.400 And either side of them, there's two criminals who are also being put to death. 00:23:21.180 --> 00:23:24.120 And in verse 39, it says, 00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:27.019 One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, 00:23:27.819 --> 00:23:29.220 Are you not the Christ? 00:23:29.980 --> 00:23:31.480 Save yourself and us. 00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:34.140 But the other rebuked him, saying, 00:23:34.380 --> 00:23:38.880 Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:43.700 And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds. 00:23:43.700 --> 00:23:46.940 But this man has done nothing wrong. 00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:49.000 And he said, 00:23:49.140 --> 00:23:52.440 Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. 00:23:52.940 --> 00:23:54.440 And he said to him, 00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:59.640 Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise. 00:24:00.900 --> 00:24:01.539 And we read on, 00:24:01.580 --> 00:24:03.100 It was now about the sixth hour, 00:24:03.299 --> 00:24:06.500 and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, 00:24:06.840 --> 00:24:08.759 while the sun's light failed. 00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:12.039 And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. 00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:15.359 Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, 00:24:15.500 --> 00:24:18.799 Father, into your hands I commit my spirit. 00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:22.460 And having said this, he breathed his last. 00:24:23.420 --> 00:24:26.379 Now, when the centurion saw what had taken place, 00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:28.359 he praised God, saying, 00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:32.379 Certainly, this man was innocent. 00:24:32.380 --> 00:24:40.020 Well, we want to think about Jesus now and what he has done for us. 00:24:40.140 --> 00:24:43.100 And in this way, we're thinking about looking to Jesus. 00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:45.340 We want to listen to him first of all, 00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:49.700 but now we want to look and see what he has done for us. 00:24:50.660 --> 00:24:52.600 When Jesus was in this world, 00:24:52.800 --> 00:24:54.420 so many people saw him. 00:24:54.420 --> 00:24:58.920 So many people saw him doing amazing things. 00:24:59.740 --> 00:25:01.980 And during the week, we were thinking of some of them. 00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:03.240 As we look through the Bible, 00:25:03.360 --> 00:25:07.519 you see many different things that Jesus did for his people. 00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:10.740 As we had the sporting theme this week, 00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:14.080 we were thinking of people who get injured in sport, 00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:17.640 and they need the first aider to come on and to help them. 00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:22.420 And we saw a story of how Jesus healed a Roman centurion's servant 00:25:22.420 --> 00:25:24.740 who was unwell. 00:25:25.660 --> 00:25:26.980 Jesus did amazing things. 00:25:27.080 --> 00:25:31.500 We heard how Jesus fed more than 5,000 people in one sitting. 00:25:32.180 --> 00:25:35.460 And it was an amazing miracle that happened there. 00:25:36.300 --> 00:25:40.780 And there are so many other accounts of what Jesus did for people 00:25:40.780 --> 00:25:44.740 in different places, how he healed, how he helped, 00:25:45.120 --> 00:25:46.640 how he did amazing things. 00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:51.140 But what so often amazed people was the things that he said. 00:25:52.020 --> 00:25:53.860 His teaching, his preaching. 00:25:54.360 --> 00:25:56.200 People marveled at it. 00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:59.160 They saw these words that he was saying. 00:25:59.259 --> 00:26:01.140 They were thinking, this is astonishing. 00:26:01.259 --> 00:26:04.259 This is amazing, the things that he is telling us. 00:26:04.280 --> 00:26:07.720 And he was telling them about what he had come to do to help them. 00:26:08.500 --> 00:26:10.880 We see us all as sinners as we are, 00:26:10.900 --> 00:26:12.940 but he came to help us. 00:26:12.940 --> 00:26:16.220 Our greatest injury is sin. 00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:19.320 But he has come to help us. 00:26:20.120 --> 00:26:26.320 And the most amazing place to look and see what Jesus has done for us 00:26:26.320 --> 00:26:32.040 and how much he loved us is this place where we read of Jesus on the cross 00:26:32.040 --> 00:26:36.080 as he died for our sins. 00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:41.099 And so many people were looking on and seeing Jesus on the cross. 00:26:41.460 --> 00:26:44.480 And on either side of him were these two criminals. 00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:48.359 And one looked at him and mocked. 00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:52.319 He was joking at Jesus, saying things like, 00:26:52.460 --> 00:26:55.500 if you are the Christ, save yourself and us. 00:26:56.539 --> 00:26:58.359 He didn't realize who he was. 00:26:58.359 --> 00:27:00.919 He didn't understand who he was. 00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:05.740 But the other looked and pleaded with him. 00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:09.219 He saw that this man was innocent. 00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:10.779 He's done nothing wrong. 00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:12.579 And then he said these amazing words. 00:27:12.740 --> 00:27:16.519 Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. 00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:20.539 Amazing words from that criminal. 00:27:21.019 --> 00:27:22.639 Remember me. 00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:26.000 And even more amazing is what Jesus said to him. 00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:28.879 Truly I say to you today, 00:27:29.500 --> 00:27:31.720 you will be with me in paradise. 00:27:33.500 --> 00:27:36.420 In the midst of the darkness of the cross, 00:27:36.500 --> 00:27:38.720 we are reminded of why Jesus came. 00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:41.299 He came to save. 00:27:41.299 --> 00:27:43.859 He is our substitute. 00:27:44.940 --> 00:27:46.899 He went in our place. 00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:48.859 What we couldn't do ourselves, 00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:50.940 he did for us. 00:27:51.059 --> 00:27:52.419 He died on the cross. 00:27:52.539 --> 00:27:55.220 That for all who believe in him, 00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:58.740 we might have life through him. 00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:03.839 A little boy once came to his father 00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:06.779 and jumped up on his knee and sat on his knee. 00:28:07.539 --> 00:28:08.899 And he asked him a question. 00:28:09.460 --> 00:28:10.559 He said to him, 00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:14.019 Dad, is your soul insured? 00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:18.059 Now, what's your soul, first of all? 00:28:18.399 --> 00:28:21.179 Well, your soul is our life, 00:28:21.579 --> 00:28:22.579 our very being. 00:28:22.679 --> 00:28:24.119 It's something we can't see, 00:28:24.879 --> 00:28:26.399 but it's what keeps us alive. 00:28:26.460 --> 00:28:27.879 What God has given to us all, 00:28:27.940 --> 00:28:29.319 the breath of life, 00:28:29.659 --> 00:28:30.859 is like our soul. 00:28:31.579 --> 00:28:34.159 It makes us understand and think 00:28:34.159 --> 00:28:35.460 and live and breathe. 00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:38.460 God has given us a soul. 00:28:38.460 --> 00:28:42.180 And insurance is something you put in place 00:28:42.180 --> 00:28:44.420 so that if anything happens, 00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:46.299 you're not left without. 00:28:46.519 --> 00:28:48.039 So if you crash your car, 00:28:48.360 --> 00:28:49.100 for example, 00:28:49.460 --> 00:28:51.319 you don't lose out if you're insured. 00:28:51.539 --> 00:28:52.680 You get your money back 00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:53.720 because it's insured. 00:28:54.180 --> 00:28:56.400 And so this is what was troubling this little boy. 00:28:56.600 --> 00:28:57.500 He came to his father and says, 00:28:57.660 --> 00:29:01.460 Dad, is your soul insured? 00:29:01.460 --> 00:29:03.840 And his father asked, 00:29:04.140 --> 00:29:06.680 Where's this question come from? 00:29:06.740 --> 00:29:08.299 Why do you ask that question? 00:29:09.380 --> 00:29:09.960 And the boy said, 00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:12.340 Well, I heard Uncle John speaking 00:29:12.340 --> 00:29:14.539 and he was saying that you have your house insured, 00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:16.900 that you have all your barns insured, 00:29:17.059 --> 00:29:18.759 that you have your life insured, 00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:19.480 but he was worried 00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:22.180 that you didn't have your soul insured. 00:29:22.180 --> 00:29:26.360 And he was afraid that you would lose it. 00:29:28.460 --> 00:29:31.140 And the father was shocked 00:29:31.140 --> 00:29:34.320 because he had a big house. 00:29:34.740 --> 00:29:37.140 He had lots of land and barns. 00:29:37.180 --> 00:29:38.320 He had all of these things. 00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:40.920 He had insurance to look after his family 00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:42.500 if anything happened to him. 00:29:42.500 --> 00:29:46.420 But the one thing that was most needed 00:29:46.420 --> 00:29:49.480 was his soul to be insured. 00:29:50.259 --> 00:29:51.319 And it wasn't 00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:54.799 because he didn't trust in Jesus. 00:29:56.019 --> 00:29:58.660 And through that little boy asking that question, 00:29:59.180 --> 00:30:01.119 he began to think about this. 00:30:01.579 --> 00:30:03.539 What was important in life? 00:30:04.059 --> 00:30:05.880 What was the most precious thing? 00:30:06.460 --> 00:30:09.279 It wasn't his barns and his land and his house. 00:30:09.940 --> 00:30:11.079 It was his soul. 00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:13.159 And he began to realize, 00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:17.259 Jesus is the only insurance I need. 00:30:17.859 --> 00:30:20.619 And so he put his trust in Jesus. 00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:24.179 And as we look at the cross, 00:30:24.319 --> 00:30:27.679 we see how Jesus is our insurance, 00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:30.299 how he is our guarantee, 00:30:31.019 --> 00:30:33.659 how because he died on the cross, 00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:36.019 he was our substitute there. 00:30:36.779 --> 00:30:39.059 And if we put our trust in him, 00:30:39.059 --> 00:30:40.319 our soul, 00:30:40.460 --> 00:30:42.299 our life is safe 00:30:42.299 --> 00:30:43.700 for now 00:30:43.700 --> 00:30:45.679 and for eternity. 00:30:47.419 --> 00:30:48.639 Another little story. 00:30:48.740 --> 00:30:49.539 There was a little girl 00:30:49.539 --> 00:30:51.639 who was very unwell. 00:30:52.619 --> 00:30:54.819 And she had a very serious illness 00:30:54.819 --> 00:30:56.200 that meant that she needed to get 00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:57.659 a blood transfusion. 00:30:57.799 --> 00:30:59.759 That's her own blood wasn't healthy, 00:30:59.879 --> 00:31:01.419 so she needed other blood 00:31:01.419 --> 00:31:02.579 put into her body. 00:31:02.579 --> 00:31:05.659 But it couldn't just be any blood. 00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:08.639 It needed to be a particular kind of blood. 00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:10.500 It needed to be from someone 00:31:10.500 --> 00:31:12.460 who had had this illness before 00:31:12.460 --> 00:31:13.799 and who had recovered. 00:31:14.199 --> 00:31:16.779 And it needed to be the same type of blood 00:31:16.779 --> 00:31:17.740 as hers. 00:31:17.740 --> 00:31:20.660 And she had a little brother. 00:31:20.660 --> 00:31:23.900 A brother who had had the same illness 00:31:23.900 --> 00:31:26.519 and who had the same blood as her. 00:31:27.120 --> 00:31:29.640 And so the doctor came and sat with the little boy 00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:30.000 and said, 00:31:30.099 --> 00:31:31.359 your sister's not well 00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:34.400 and we need your blood to help her. 00:31:35.140 --> 00:31:35.839 And he asked, 00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:37.960 will you give her your blood? 00:31:38.700 --> 00:31:41.460 And the little boy nearly started crying. 00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:43.400 He was sitting there 00:31:43.400 --> 00:31:45.400 thinking about this question. 00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:48.080 Will you give your sister your blood? 00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:50.060 And then he said, 00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:50.580 yes. 00:31:51.500 --> 00:31:54.160 I'll give my sister my blood 00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:56.080 if it'll make her better. 00:31:57.000 --> 00:31:59.720 And so they were taken into the operating room 00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:01.620 and they were both put on beds 00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:02.620 beside each other. 00:32:03.280 --> 00:32:04.660 And they looked at each other. 00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:06.680 The little girl was weak and frail. 00:32:07.220 --> 00:32:09.280 The boy was strong and healthy. 00:32:09.780 --> 00:32:12.080 And the boy smiled at his sister. 00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:16.079 And as the nurse then started to take blood 00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:17.000 from the little boy, 00:32:17.419 --> 00:32:19.879 his smile started to disappear. 00:32:20.579 --> 00:32:22.899 And he started to look quite sad. 00:32:23.419 --> 00:32:24.679 And after a little while, 00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:25.659 when it was nearly done, 00:32:26.199 --> 00:32:28.000 he asked the doctor a question. 00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:29.519 He said, 00:32:29.579 --> 00:32:29.960 Doctor, 00:32:30.379 --> 00:32:31.879 when do I die? 00:32:33.339 --> 00:32:35.480 And the doctor realized then 00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:37.919 that he hadn't explained fully 00:32:37.919 --> 00:32:39.439 what giving blood meant. 00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:41.759 It was only to give blood 00:32:41.759 --> 00:32:43.160 to help his sister. 00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:45.200 Not that he would die. 00:32:46.059 --> 00:32:46.960 But he thought 00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:49.160 by giving his blood to his sister, 00:32:49.420 --> 00:32:50.820 he would die himself. 00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:52.279 And the amazing thing is, 00:32:52.840 --> 00:32:55.140 he was willing to do it. 00:32:55.900 --> 00:32:56.799 Because his sister 00:32:56.799 --> 00:32:59.180 was so precious to him. 00:33:00.220 --> 00:33:01.180 Well, the little boy 00:33:01.180 --> 00:33:02.559 didn't die. 00:33:03.380 --> 00:33:05.200 They both survived 00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:06.460 and lived. 00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:08.340 But when we look 00:33:08.340 --> 00:33:09.640 at the cross, 00:33:09.819 --> 00:33:11.080 when we think of Jesus 00:33:11.080 --> 00:33:12.380 there on the cross, 00:33:13.120 --> 00:33:13.880 he gave 00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:15.200 his blood 00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:16.059 for us. 00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:17.580 He died 00:33:17.580 --> 00:33:18.960 for us. 00:33:19.620 --> 00:33:20.220 We needed 00:33:20.220 --> 00:33:21.400 a substitute. 00:33:22.220 --> 00:33:24.000 And he was the only one 00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:24.759 who could come 00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:26.420 in our place. 00:33:27.140 --> 00:33:28.100 And he gave 00:33:28.100 --> 00:33:29.340 his life 00:33:29.340 --> 00:33:30.779 for us. 00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:32.980 Isn't that amazing? 00:33:32.980 --> 00:33:34.860 That he would do that 00:33:34.860 --> 00:33:35.460 for you 00:33:35.460 --> 00:33:36.759 and for me. 00:33:37.940 --> 00:33:38.819 So there was 00:33:38.819 --> 00:33:39.740 the sad bit. 00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:41.279 When we think of 00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:41.860 Jesus 00:33:41.860 --> 00:33:43.120 dying 00:33:43.120 --> 00:33:44.360 on the cross. 00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:46.059 But 00:33:46.059 --> 00:33:47.400 it doesn't 00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:48.019 end there. 00:33:48.940 --> 00:33:49.620 And we want 00:33:49.620 --> 00:33:50.200 to just think about 00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:51.339 one more thing. 00:33:51.420 --> 00:33:52.059 And we want to read 00:33:52.059 --> 00:33:52.500 again 00:33:52.500 --> 00:33:53.640 together 00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:54.120 in Luke 00:33:54.120 --> 00:33:55.400 chapter 24. 00:33:56.539 --> 00:33:57.480 The next 00:33:57.480 --> 00:33:58.480 chapter along. 00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:01.240 you find 00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:01.700 this on 00:34:01.700 --> 00:34:02.599 page 6 00:34:02.599 --> 00:34:03.360 and 7. 00:34:03.480 --> 00:34:04.120 We're

00:37:43.800 --> 00:37:44.260 risen. 00:37:44.260 --> 00:37:45.100 And so 00:37:45.100 --> 00:37:45.640 they met 00:37:45.640 --> 00:37:45.920 him in 00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:46.280 different 00:37:46.280 --> 00:37:46.900 places. 00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:48.360 And it's 00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:49.140 highlighted for 00:37:49.140 --> 00:37:49.640 us in this 00:37:49.640 --> 00:37:50.540 story

00:37:55.900 They were 00:37:55.900 --> 00:37:56.700 heartbroken. 00:37:57.240 --> 00:37:57.600 They were 00:37:57.600 --> 00:37:58.360 downcast. 00:37:58.480 --> 00:37:58.880 They thought 00:37:58.880 --> 00:37:59.540 their hope 00:37:59.540 --> 00:38:00.420 had gone. 00:38:00.500 --> 00:38:00.720 And they 00:38:00.720 --> 00:38:01.820 start speaking 00:38:01.820 --> 00:38:02.680 with a stranger 00:38:02.680 --> 00:38:03.400 as it was 00:38:03.400 --> 00:38:03.920 who came 00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:04.860 alongside them, 00:38:05.300 --> 00:38:05.760 telling him 00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:06.640 everything that 00:38:06.640 --> 00:38:07.180 had happened 00:38:07.180 --> 00:38:07.740 in Jerusalem 00:38:07.740 --> 00:38:09.340 and how it 00:38:09.340 --> 00:38:10.080 was the third 00:38:10.080 --> 00:38:10.760 day and how 00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:11.480 they had hoped 00:38:11.480 --> 00:38:12.040 that he had 00:38:12.040 --> 00:38:13.380 come to save 00:38:13.380 --> 00:38:14.079 his people. 00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:15.320 And their 00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:16.099 hope was 00:38:16.099 --> 00:38:16.440 gone. 00:38:16.539 --> 00:38:16.740 They were 00:38:16.740 --> 00:38:17.420 just so 00:38:17.420 --> 00:38:19.119 heartbroken. 00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:21.380 But then 00:38:21.380 --> 00:38:22.820 Jesus started 00:38:22.820 --> 00:38:23.680 to speak to 00:38:23.680 --> 00:38:23.840 them. 00:38:24.619 --> 00:38:24.940 He started 00:38:24.940 --> 00:38:25.579 to open up 00:38:25.579 --> 00:38:26.119 the word 00:38:26.119 --> 00:38:26.619 to them. 00:38:27.160 --> 00:38:27.760 And he 00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:28.539 showed them 00:38:28.539 --> 00:38:29.260 everything about 00:38:29.260 --> 00:38:29.900 the scriptures 00:38:29.900 --> 00:38:30.420
