WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:29.980
 Thank you.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:59.980
 Thank you.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:01.000
 Thank you.

00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:06.180
 Genesis chapter 15.

00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:13.920
 We will be looking at Exodus and Leviticus, but we will be starting off in Genesis 15.

00:01:14.140 --> 00:01:16.140
 So get your Bibles at the ready.

00:01:17.060 --> 00:01:18.079
 Genesis 15.

00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:28.060
 You'll see by the title there this morning we're looking at relationships.

00:01:28.060 --> 00:01:41.879
 Somebody sent me a message when they saw that and said it was great that I was fitting in well with the day and what a romantic I was to be thinking of relationships.

00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:45.239
 Well, let me make a disclaimer here.

00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:54.579
 I made no connection between what I am saying and hadn't a clue that it was February the 14th and that it was Valentine's Day.

00:01:54.699 --> 00:01:58.919
 I'm a complete disaster in the area of spontaneity.

00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:02.060
 So my poor wife, I shall try to do better.

00:02:04.379 --> 00:02:07.079
 Nonetheless, we're still going to be looking at relationships.

00:02:08.340 --> 00:02:10.439
 We can delete what's on the recorder.

00:02:10.580 --> 00:02:11.000
 Don't worry.

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.379
 In case they remind me next year for the same mistake.

00:02:16.379 --> 00:02:17.319
 So here we go.

00:02:17.379 --> 00:02:20.060
 We'll pray and ask for God's help.

00:02:20.060 --> 00:02:32.020
 Father, we thank you for all the good things you bring to us every day.

00:02:34.620 --> 00:02:37.939
 There are times we struggle with ill health.

00:02:38.939 --> 00:02:42.759
 There are times we struggle with circumstances that we are in.

00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:47.659
 But yet in the midst of it, you are always God.

00:02:48.739 --> 00:02:49.959
 In charge.

00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:52.539
 Lord over all.

00:02:53.780 --> 00:02:55.039
 With us.

00:02:56.019 --> 00:02:57.780
 Not forsaking us.

00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:07.139
 So would you please help us to understand better this relationship that you've called us into.

00:03:08.060 --> 00:03:09.579
 What it looks like.

00:03:09.580 --> 00:03:13.200
 And how we should live with you.

00:03:14.820 --> 00:03:17.800
 Father, please encourage us all this morning, we pray.

00:03:18.860 --> 00:03:19.920
 In Jesus' name.

00:03:20.700 --> 00:03:21.100
 Amen.

00:03:25.100 --> 00:03:28.180
 Well, it was a night that they would never forget.

00:03:29.180 --> 00:03:32.960
 After 430 years of brutal slavery,

00:03:33.640 --> 00:03:38.580
 God had rescued Israel from the cruel oppression of Pharaoh.

00:03:38.580 --> 00:03:41.880
 But if we've been following the story,

00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:46.180
 that rescue would not be a surprise.

00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.480
 Because 600 years beforehand,

00:03:50.060 --> 00:03:52.760
 God had made this promise to Abraham.

00:03:52.920 --> 00:03:57.160
 Have a look at Genesis 15, verse 13.

00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.680
 Genesis 15, verse 13.

00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:07.640
 So this is 600 years before the release from Egypt.

00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:10.340
 Then the Lord said to Abraham,

00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:17.439
 Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own,

00:04:17.819 --> 00:04:25.379
 and they will be enslaved and will be ill-treated for 400 years.

00:04:25.379 --> 00:04:29.319
 So he promised that there would be slavery.

00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.240
 But he also promised this, verse 14.

00:04:32.719 --> 00:04:35.399
 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves,

00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:39.100
 and afterwards they will come out.

00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:41.719
 Literally, they will be redeemed,

00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:44.819
 and with great possessions.

00:04:44.819 --> 00:04:52.680
 But rescue was not only the beginning of the plan.

00:04:53.599 --> 00:04:57.500
 Have a look at Exodus chapter 6, verse 6.

00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:02.740
 Exodus chapter 6, verse 6.

00:05:02.740 --> 00:05:02.800
 Exodus chapter 6, verse 6.

00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:14.800
 Exodus chapter 6.

00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:18.439
 So rescue was in God's mind at the beginning.

00:05:19.139 --> 00:05:20.840
 But there was something more.

00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:22.360
 Chapter 6, verse 6.

00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:23.860
 Therefore say to the Israelites,

00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:24.800
 I am the Lord,

00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.600
 and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.879
 I will free you from being slaves to them,

00:05:32.139 --> 00:05:34.960
 and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm

00:05:34.960 --> 00:05:36.819
 and with mighty acts of judgment.

00:05:37.660 --> 00:05:40.180
 And here comes the reason for the rescue.

00:05:40.180 --> 00:05:44.879
 I will take you as my own people,

00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.079
 and I will be your God.

00:05:49.740 --> 00:05:50.920
 Can you see that?

00:05:51.019 --> 00:05:54.840
 They are rescued for relationship.

00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:56.840
 I will be your God.

00:05:57.100 --> 00:05:58.460
 You will be my people.

00:05:58.899 --> 00:06:00.180
 I will belong to you,

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:01.680
 and you will belong to me.

00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.040
 Israel, this great nation,

00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:07.400
 had been released from the brutal oppression of Pharaoh

00:06:07.400 --> 00:06:12.439
 and have now been brought out under the loving rule of God.

00:06:12.740 --> 00:06:16.280
 They have been rescued for relationship.

00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:19.139
 And in some ways,

00:06:19.379 --> 00:06:22.379
 it's a looking back to the Garden of Eden.

00:06:23.219 --> 00:06:24.879
 Do you remember how it was then?

00:06:25.239 --> 00:06:29.979
 Adam and Eve living in relationship with God,

00:06:30.339 --> 00:06:33.879
 enjoying God in the Garden of Delight.

00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.159
 And now God is saying to this nation,

00:06:36.420 --> 00:06:37.819
 not just to two people,

00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:38.920
 but to a whole nation,

00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.240
 I am going to be in relationship with you

00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:43.719
 in a new land,

00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:45.000
 in a new place,

00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:47.120
 where you can know me

00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:48.779
 and enjoy me.

00:06:49.579 --> 00:06:51.759
 You see, God's aching desire

00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.420
 is to rescue people like us

00:06:54.420 --> 00:06:58.019
 so that we also can live in relationship with him.

00:06:58.019 --> 00:07:02.039
 He rescues us from our slavery to sin

00:07:02.039 --> 00:07:04.159
 so that we can enjoy him.

00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.079
 He frees us from the oppression of Satan

00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:10.740
 so that we can live under God's good rule.

00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:15.000
 That's the big story of the Bible.

00:07:16.379 --> 00:07:19.519
 Now, if we're to live in relationship with God,

00:07:20.919 --> 00:07:24.060
 well, it's a relationship that really matters.

00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:27.139
 And we have to know how to learn

00:07:27.139 --> 00:07:30.719
 or how to live rightly with God.

00:07:31.579 --> 00:07:34.039
 Have a look at Exodus chapter 19

00:07:34.039 --> 00:07:37.019
 as we move on through the story.

00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.399
 Exodus 19.

00:07:41.139 --> 00:07:44.759
 At this stage, they've been released from Egypt

00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.219
 and they're now travelling through the desert

00:07:47.219 --> 00:07:49.339
 and they've come to a mountain

00:07:49.339 --> 00:07:51.699
 which is called Mount Sinai.

00:07:52.379 --> 00:07:54.680
 And here God comes and speaks

00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.180
 through Moses to the people.

00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:00.879
 So chapter 19, verse 3.

00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:03.579
 Moses went up to God.

00:08:03.660 --> 00:08:04.980
 So he went up this mountain

00:08:04.980 --> 00:08:07.879
 and the Lord called to him from the mountain

00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:08.500
 and said,

00:08:09.259 --> 00:08:11.759
 This is what you are to say to the house of Jacob

00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:13.819
 and what you are to say to the people of Israel.

00:08:14.340 --> 00:08:17.379
 You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt

00:08:17.379 --> 00:08:20.480
 and how I carried you on eagle's wings

00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:23.719
 and brought you to myself.

00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:26.079
 Do you see again?

00:08:26.180 --> 00:08:29.199
 It's that theme that's repeated.

00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:30.439
 I've rescued you

00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:32.200
 and I'm committed to you.

00:08:33.259 --> 00:08:36.059
 This relationship that God is in with the people

00:08:36.059 --> 00:08:39.600
 is not going to be an in-out kind of relationship.

00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:41.899
 It's a relationship where God says,

00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:43.700
 We're not going to break up.

00:08:43.700 --> 00:08:46.740
 We're going to be committed to one another.

00:08:47.860 --> 00:08:50.320
 And that means there's going to be responsibility.

00:08:51.220 --> 00:08:52.379
 So look at verse 5.

00:08:53.220 --> 00:08:55.360
 So if you obey me fully

00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:58.480
 and keep my covenant,

00:08:59.560 --> 00:09:00.900
 then out of all the nations

00:09:00.900 --> 00:09:03.540
 you will be my treasured possession.

00:09:04.020 --> 00:09:06.360
 Although the whole earth is mine,

00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:08.960
 you will be for me a kingdom of priests

00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:10.560
 and a holy nation.

00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:12.239
 These are the words

00:09:12.239 --> 00:09:15.339
 that you are to speak to the people.

00:09:16.479 --> 00:09:19.059
 I am going to give you a way to live,

00:09:19.199 --> 00:09:19.739
 says God.

00:09:19.939 --> 00:09:21.459
 I'm going to show you

00:09:21.459 --> 00:09:25.039
 how you are to live in relationship with me.

00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:27.899
 But there's a problem.

00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:33.879
 These people can't get close to God.

00:09:34.439 --> 00:09:35.459
 Look at verse 10.

00:09:35.460 --> 00:09:39.360
 And the Lord said to Moses,

00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.639
 Go to the people and consecrate them.

00:09:42.740 --> 00:09:45.759
 Get them ready to meet God.

00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:48.500
 Consecrate them today and tomorrow.

00:09:49.280 --> 00:09:50.879
 Make them wash their clothes

00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.680
 and be ready by the third day

00:09:53.680 --> 00:09:55.840
 because on the third day

00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:59.540
 the Lord will come down from Mount Sinai

00:09:59.540 --> 00:10:01.480
 in the sight of all the people.

00:10:02.379 --> 00:10:05.180
 Put limits for the people around the mountain.

00:10:05.179 --> 00:10:06.379
 and tell them,

00:10:06.739 --> 00:10:09.419
 Be careful that you do not go up to the mountain

00:10:09.419 --> 00:10:11.219
 or touch the foot of it.

00:10:11.599 --> 00:10:13.139
 Whoever touches the mountain

00:10:13.139 --> 00:10:15.399
 shall surely be put to death.

00:10:17.500 --> 00:10:19.120
 But what's going on?

00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:21.939
 God had said so clearly,

00:10:22.479 --> 00:10:23.719
 I will be your God

00:10:23.719 --> 00:10:25.120
 and you will be my people.

00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:27.839
 You are going to be my treasured possession.

00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:30.359
 I rescued you for myself.

00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:34.539
 But if you try and get close to me,

00:10:35.060 --> 00:10:37.879
 you are going to die.

00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:42.159
 But what kind of relationship is that?

00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:44.759
 It's an invitation to say,

00:10:44.860 --> 00:10:46.060
 Come to me.

00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:48.019
 But if you do,

00:10:48.800 --> 00:10:50.460
 it's going to be very dangerous.

00:10:50.460 --> 00:10:55.780
 Well, I think God wants us to understand

00:10:55.780 --> 00:10:56.920
 who he is.

00:10:58.100 --> 00:11:00.740
 God is not our best buddy

00:11:00.740 --> 00:11:03.620
 who we ignore and we can forget.

00:11:04.820 --> 00:11:06.420
 God is not our mate

00:11:06.420 --> 00:11:09.800
 who we can treat as we please.

00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:12.320
 No, God is different

00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:14.320
 to every other kind of relationship

00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:18.080
 and he demands that we treat him rightly.

00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:21.020
 So look at verse 16.

00:11:23.020 --> 00:11:24.820
 On the morning of the third day,

00:11:24.920 --> 00:11:26.980
 there was thunder and lightning

00:11:26.980 --> 00:11:29.860
 with a thick cloud over the mountain

00:11:29.860 --> 00:11:31.780
 and a very loud trumpet blast.

00:11:32.420 --> 00:11:35.420
 Everyone in the camp trembled.

00:11:36.379 --> 00:11:38.860
 Then Moses led the people out of the camp

00:11:38.860 --> 00:11:39.900
 to meet with God

00:11:39.900 --> 00:11:42.240
 and they stood at the foot of the mountain.

00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:45.120
 Mount Sinai was covered with smoke

00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.639
 because the Lord had descended on it in fire.

00:11:49.340 --> 00:11:51.100
 The smoke billowed up from it

00:11:51.100 --> 00:11:52.580
 like smoke from a furnace

00:11:52.580 --> 00:11:55.580
 and the whole mountain trembled violently

00:11:55.580 --> 00:11:57.440
 and the sound of the trumpet

00:11:57.440 --> 00:11:59.120
 grew louder and louder.

00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.279
 And Moses spoke

00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:05.799
 and the voice of God answered him.

00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:10.919
 Here is God in his supreme power

00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:13.699
 an absolute purity.

00:12:14.659 --> 00:12:15.699
 Picture the scene.

00:12:16.079 --> 00:12:17.679
 This fire coming down.

00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:19.879
 This smoke coming from the mountain.

00:12:20.199 --> 00:12:22.599
 The mountain itself begins to shake.

00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:26.939
 You don't mess with this God.

00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.959
 You dare not come to him with disrespect.

00:12:31.599 --> 00:12:34.139
 We cannot treat God as we want

00:12:34.139 --> 00:12:37.580
 and expect to get away with it.

00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:42.059
 You see, the problem is

00:12:42.059 --> 00:12:45.500
 we have domesticated God.

00:12:46.059 --> 00:12:49.500
 We have reduced our Creator God

00:12:49.500 --> 00:12:51.220
 into something manageable.

00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:56.379
 We like the idea of a relationship with God

00:12:56.379 --> 00:12:59.019
 but we want to control

00:12:59.019 --> 00:13:01.120
 how that relationship should work.

00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:04.080
 So we like the idea of a God

00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:05.340
 who is all-powerful

00:13:05.340 --> 00:13:08.259
 but not so powerful

00:13:08.259 --> 00:13:09.639
 that he will confront me

00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:10.620
 and challenge me.

00:13:11.779 --> 00:13:13.500
 Or we like the idea of a God

00:13:13.500 --> 00:13:15.080
 who is pure and just

00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.000
 but not so pure

00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.639
 that he won't agree with what I want.

00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:24.480
 If the truth be told

00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:27.419
 we want a grandfather type God.

00:13:28.319 --> 00:13:30.080
 A God whose job it is

00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:31.319
 to give us treats

00:13:31.319 --> 00:13:33.199
 and soothe us with gifts

00:13:33.199 --> 00:13:34.939
 when things don't go our way.

00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:36.879
 We want a God

00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:38.600
 who won't tell me how to live.

00:13:39.019 --> 00:13:41.080
 A God who will ignore my sin

00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:43.679
 but will always accept me.

00:13:45.779 --> 00:13:48.559
 But God will not let us do that.

00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:51.119
 Verse 23

00:13:51.119 --> 00:13:54.219
 Moses said to the Lord

00:13:54.219 --> 00:13:58.099
 The people cannot come up Mount Sinai

00:13:58.099 --> 00:14:01.259
 because you yourself warned us

00:14:01.259 --> 00:14:03.779
 put limits around the mountain

00:14:03.779 --> 00:14:07.759
 and set it apart as holy.

00:14:09.259 --> 00:14:12.199
 You see, God is different to us.

00:14:13.099 --> 00:14:15.339
 We are not co-equals.

00:14:15.340 --> 00:14:17.139
 He is not our mate

00:14:17.139 --> 00:14:18.580
 our best buddy.

00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:20.860
 He is our creator

00:14:20.860 --> 00:14:22.379
 and our Lord.

00:14:26.040 --> 00:14:27.639
 So there are three things

00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:29.280
 we need to know about God

00:14:29.280 --> 00:14:31.660
 if we are to live

00:14:31.660 --> 00:14:33.660
 in relationship with him.

00:14:34.620 --> 00:14:35.920
 Here is the first one.

00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:38.340
 God commands

00:14:38.340 --> 00:14:42.139
 that we worship only him.

00:14:42.139 --> 00:14:44.620
 Look at chapter 20

00:14:44.620 --> 00:14:46.220
 verse 1

00:14:46.220 --> 00:14:50.480
 And God spoke

00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:52.360
 all these words.

00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:55.699
 I am the Lord your God

00:14:55.699 --> 00:14:57.139
 who brought you

00:14:57.139 --> 00:14:58.199
 out of Egypt

00:14:58.199 --> 00:15:00.480
 out of the land of slavery.

00:15:01.340 --> 00:15:03.600
 This is what I have done for you.

00:15:03.980 --> 00:15:04.840
 I am the God

00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:06.019
 who has intervened

00:15:06.019 --> 00:15:06.819
 into your lives

00:15:06.819 --> 00:15:07.779
 and rescued you.

00:15:07.980 --> 00:15:09.860
 I freed you from slavery.

00:15:09.860 --> 00:15:11.080
 I have brought you

00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:12.639
 out of your cruel bondage.

00:15:13.019 --> 00:15:14.060
 So because of what

00:15:14.060 --> 00:15:15.620
 I have done for you

00:15:15.620 --> 00:15:19.779
 this is how you should relate to me.

00:15:20.220 --> 00:15:22.259
 This is how you should treat me.

00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:24.940
 Now I hope at the beginning

00:15:24.940 --> 00:15:26.060
 of what we call

00:15:26.060 --> 00:15:27.019
 the Ten Commandments

00:15:27.019 --> 00:15:29.080
 you can see an order here.

00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:31.360
 Do you see the pattern?

00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:34.840
 God always rescues first

00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:37.399
 and then shows us

00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:39.300
 how to live in relationship with him.

00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:41.399
 God does not say

00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:42.939
 follow this command

00:15:42.939 --> 00:15:45.419
 and then I will rescue you.

00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:47.019
 No, God says

00:15:47.019 --> 00:15:49.539
 because I have done this for you

00:15:49.539 --> 00:15:51.620
 because I have freed you

00:15:51.620 --> 00:15:53.719
 and made you my people

00:15:53.719 --> 00:15:55.879
 this is how you should treat me.

00:15:56.500 --> 00:15:58.159
 And it's no different for us.

00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:00.639
 God always acts in grace to us

00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:01.199
 first.

00:16:01.319 --> 00:16:01.539
 He says

00:16:01.539 --> 00:16:03.779
 because of what I have done for you

00:16:03.779 --> 00:16:06.579
 it's not your performance

00:16:06.580 --> 00:16:08.300
 it's what I have done for you

00:16:08.300 --> 00:16:10.220
 this is how you should live

00:16:10.220 --> 00:16:11.139
 in response.

00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:14.300
 So what does God command?

00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:15.080
 Verse 3

00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:17.800
 You shall have

00:16:17.800 --> 00:16:19.840
 no other gods

00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:21.540
 before me.

00:16:22.680 --> 00:16:24.900
 Do not replace me

00:16:24.900 --> 00:16:26.900
 with your own gods.

00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:28.100
 Remember

00:16:28.100 --> 00:16:30.100
 I'm the God who created you.

00:16:30.100 --> 00:16:31.960
 I'm the God

00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:32.740
 who has given you

00:16:32.740 --> 00:16:34.180
 life and breath.

00:16:34.980 --> 00:16:35.840
 I'm the God

00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:37.200
 who sustains you

00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:38.399
 and provides you

00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:39.759
 with every single thing

00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:40.460
 that you have.

00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:42.139
 So don't go making

00:16:42.139 --> 00:16:43.060
 other gods

00:16:43.060 --> 00:16:44.100
 and pretending

00:16:44.100 --> 00:16:45.600
 that they look after you

00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:46.879
 and that they save you.

00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:50.659
 Jesus himself

00:16:50.659 --> 00:16:51.860
 would say the same thing

00:16:51.860 --> 00:16:52.759
 when he was asked

00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:54.879
 what is the greatest commandment.

00:16:56.100 --> 00:16:56.980
 Jesus replied

00:16:56.980 --> 00:16:59.460
 love the Lord your God

00:16:59.460 --> 00:17:01.700
 with all your heart

00:17:01.700 --> 00:17:04.079
 and with all your soul

00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:06.460
 and with all your mind.

00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:08.359
 I'm the God

00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:09.700
 who rescues you

00:17:09.700 --> 00:17:11.799
 so give to me

00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:14.359
 your undivided loyalty

00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:15.680
 and devotion.

00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:17.160
 worship

00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:18.799
 only

00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:19.799
 me.

00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:24.019
 Now as Moses

00:17:24.019 --> 00:17:24.940
 was receiving

00:17:24.940 --> 00:17:25.720
 this command

00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:28.620
 what do you think

00:17:28.620 --> 00:17:29.680
 the people were doing

00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:30.420
 down below

00:17:30.420 --> 00:17:31.960
 when Moses was up

00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:32.560
 on the mountain?

00:17:34.120 --> 00:17:35.779
 Remember what the command was?

00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:37.259
 You shall have

00:17:37.259 --> 00:17:38.340
 no other gods

00:17:38.340 --> 00:17:39.700
 before me.

00:17:40.580 --> 00:17:41.500
 What do you think

00:17:41.500 --> 00:17:42.519
 the people were up to?

00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:44.259
 Well have a look

00:17:44.259 --> 00:17:46.079
 at Exodus

00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:47.519
 chapter 32.

00:17:50.420 --> 00:17:50.900
 Exodus

00:17:50.900 --> 00:17:52.180
 chapter 32

00:17:52.180 --> 00:17:56.140
 and verse 1.

00:18:01.259 --> 00:18:02.420
 So we've got to remember

00:18:02.420 --> 00:18:02.940
 the scene

00:18:02.940 --> 00:18:03.599
 we've got to keep

00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:04.500
 this in context

00:18:04.500 --> 00:18:05.859
 Moses is up the mountain

00:18:05.859 --> 00:18:06.980
 talking to God

00:18:06.980 --> 00:18:08.140
 all the people

00:18:08.140 --> 00:18:08.859
 are down below

00:18:08.859 --> 00:18:09.559
 and they can't get

00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:10.420
 close to God.

00:18:10.420 --> 00:18:12.900
 and what do we read?

00:18:13.420 --> 00:18:14.240
 Chapter 32

00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:14.900
 verse 1

00:18:14.900 --> 00:18:17.160
 When the people

00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:18.060
 saw that Moses

00:18:18.060 --> 00:18:18.900
 was so long

00:18:18.900 --> 00:18:19.680
 in coming down

00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:20.360
 from the mountain

00:18:20.360 --> 00:18:21.000
 they gathered

00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:21.640
 round Aaron

00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:22.220
 and said

00:18:22.220 --> 00:18:23.080
 come

00:18:23.080 --> 00:18:25.539
 make us gods

00:18:25.539 --> 00:18:26.620
 who will be

00:18:26.620 --> 00:18:27.420
 before us

00:18:27.420 --> 00:18:27.920
 who will go

00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:28.800
 before us.

00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:30.039
 As for this fellow

00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:31.039
 Moses who brought

00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:31.920
 us up out of Egypt

00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:32.759
 we don't know

00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:33.320
 what's happened

00:18:33.320 --> 00:18:33.800
 to him.

00:18:35.060 --> 00:18:35.700
 Aaron answered

00:18:35.700 --> 00:18:37.240
 take off your

00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:38.200
 gold earrings

00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:39.180
 that your wives

00:18:39.180 --> 00:18:39.799
 your sons

00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:40.460
 your daughters

00:18:40.460 --> 00:18:40.960
 are wearing

00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:41.580
 and bring them

00:18:41.580 --> 00:18:42.100
 to me.

00:18:42.900 --> 00:18:43.920
 So all the people

00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:44.620
 took off their

00:18:44.620 --> 00:18:45.620
 earrings and brought

00:18:45.620 --> 00:18:46.340
 them to Aaron.

00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:47.960
 He took what

00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:48.840
 they handed him

00:18:48.840 --> 00:18:49.880
 and made it

00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:51.000
 into an idol

00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:52.660
 cast in the shape

00:18:52.660 --> 00:18:53.559
 of a calf

00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:55.059
 fashioning it

00:18:55.059 --> 00:18:55.940
 with a tool.

00:18:56.980 --> 00:18:58.100
 Then they said

00:18:58.100 --> 00:19:00.539
 these are your

00:19:00.539 --> 00:19:01.259
 gods

00:19:01.259 --> 00:19:02.200
 O Israel

00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:03.460
 who brought

00:19:03.460 --> 00:19:04.319
 you up

00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:05.980
 out of Egypt.

00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:09.319
 Isn't it ironic?

00:19:11.180 --> 00:19:12.100
 Now we look

00:19:12.100 --> 00:19:12.460
 at these

00:19:12.460 --> 00:19:13.559
 bunch of people

00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:15.240
 down around

00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:15.759
 the mountain

00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:16.640
 carrying on

00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:17.080
 like this

00:19:17.080 --> 00:19:17.519
 and we think

00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:18.380
 no I would

00:19:18.380 --> 00:19:19.000
 never do

00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:19.759
 anything like

00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:20.180
 that.

00:19:20.340 --> 00:19:21.299
 That's not me.

00:19:22.620 --> 00:19:23.360
 But we must

00:19:23.360 --> 00:19:24.580
 remember an idol

00:19:24.580 --> 00:19:25.400
 is not just

00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:26.080
 a carved

00:19:26.080 --> 00:19:26.900
 statue.

00:19:27.980 --> 00:19:28.600
 An idol

00:19:28.600 --> 00:19:29.519
 is anyone

00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:30.480
 or anything

00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:31.799
 that takes

00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:32.419
 the place

00:19:32.419 --> 00:19:33.039
 of God.

00:19:34.180 --> 00:19:35.220
 So that means

00:19:35.220 --> 00:19:35.940
 your children

00:19:35.940 --> 00:19:38.079
 can be an idol.

00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:39.980
 Your job

00:19:39.980 --> 00:19:41.399
 can be an idol.

00:19:41.740 --> 00:19:42.599
 An activity

00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:43.559
 a desire

00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:44.059
 an object

00:19:44.059 --> 00:19:44.659
 your career

00:19:44.659 --> 00:19:45.740
 anything

00:19:45.740 --> 00:19:47.980
 that takes

00:19:47.980 --> 00:19:48.500
 the place

00:19:48.500 --> 00:19:49.079
 of God

00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:50.659
 is an idol.

00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:53.720
 Just like Israel

00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:55.159
 we worship

00:19:55.159 --> 00:19:56.099
 other things.

00:19:56.539 --> 00:19:57.000
 We give

00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:57.700
 our loyalty

00:19:57.700 --> 00:19:58.639
 to our kids

00:19:58.639 --> 00:19:59.639
 our devotion

00:19:59.639 --> 00:20:00.539
 to our work

00:20:00.539 --> 00:20:01.579
 our praise

00:20:01.579 --> 00:20:02.480
 to our heroes.

00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:05.039
 We replace

00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:05.720
 God with

00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:06.539
 something else

00:20:06.539 --> 00:20:07.440
 but God

00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:07.980
 will not

00:20:07.980 --> 00:20:09.359
 stand for that.

00:20:10.899 --> 00:20:11.359
 Look at

00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:12.220
 chapter 32

00:20:12.220 --> 00:20:13.039
 verse 9.

00:20:14.399 --> 00:20:15.139
 God looks

00:20:15.139 --> 00:20:15.799
 down from

00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:16.339
 the mountain

00:20:16.339 --> 00:20:17.299
 and here's

00:20:17.299 --> 00:20:17.960
 what he says

00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:18.680
 verse 9.

00:20:19.059 --> 00:20:19.899
 I have seen

00:20:19.899 --> 00:20:20.940
 these people

00:20:20.940 --> 00:20:21.700
 the Lord

00:20:21.700 --> 00:20:22.599
 said to Moses.

00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:23.659
 They are a

00:20:23.659 --> 00:20:24.659
 stiff necked

00:20:24.659 --> 00:20:25.059
 people.

00:20:25.399 --> 00:20:26.079
 That is they are

00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:27.399
 stubborn and rebellious.

00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:28.380
 now leave

00:20:28.380 --> 00:20:28.960
 me alone

00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:29.700
 so that my

00:20:29.700 --> 00:20:30.420
 anger may

00:20:30.420 --> 00:20:31.200
 burn against

00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:31.480
 them

00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:32.220
 that I

00:20:32.220 --> 00:20:33.240
 may destroy

00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:33.620
 them

00:20:33.620 --> 00:20:34.460
 then I

00:20:34.460 --> 00:20:34.900
 will make

00:20:34.900 --> 00:20:35.340
 you into

00:20:35.340 --> 00:20:35.780
 a great

00:20:35.780 --> 00:20:36.200
 nation.

00:20:39.980 --> 00:20:41.000
 But Moses

00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:41.759
 sought the

00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:42.360
 favour of

00:20:42.360 --> 00:20:42.780
 the Lord

00:20:42.780 --> 00:20:43.460
 his God.

00:20:44.259 --> 00:20:45.060
 O Lord

00:20:45.060 --> 00:20:45.680
 he said

00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:47.360
 why should

00:20:47.360 --> 00:20:47.900
 your anger

00:20:47.900 --> 00:20:48.620
 burn against

00:20:48.620 --> 00:20:49.180
 your people

00:20:49.180 --> 00:20:49.620
 whom you

00:20:49.620 --> 00:20:50.120
 brought up

00:20:50.120 --> 00:20:50.500
 out of

00:20:50.500 --> 00:20:50.860
 Egypt

00:20:50.860 --> 00:20:52.160
 with great

00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:52.660
 power

00:20:52.660 --> 00:20:53.560
 and with

00:20:53.560 --> 00:20:53.980
 a mighty

00:20:53.980 --> 00:20:54.519
 hand?

00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:55.599
 why should

00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:56.200
 the Egyptians

00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:57.119
 say it

00:20:57.119 --> 00:20:57.500
 was with

00:20:57.500 --> 00:20:57.819
 evil

00:20:57.819 --> 00:20:58.220
 intent

00:20:58.220 --> 00:20:58.639
 that he

00:20:58.639 --> 00:20:58.920
 brought

00:20:58.920 --> 00:20:59.139
 them

00:20:59.139 --> 00:20:59.359
 out

00:20:59.359 --> 00:20:59.779
 to

00:20:59.779 --> 00:21:00.079
 kill

00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:00.319
 them

00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:00.759
 in

00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:00.920
 the

00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:01.240
 mountain

00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:01.980
 and to

00:21:01.980 --> 00:21:02.259
 wipe

00:21:02.259 --> 00:21:02.460
 them

00:21:02.460 --> 00:21:02.799
 off the

00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:03.099
 face

00:21:03.099 --> 00:21:03.240
 of

00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:03.359
 the

00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:03.680
 earth?

00:21:04.220 --> 00:21:04.680
 Turn

00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:05.240
 from your

00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:05.599
 fierce

00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:06.099
 anger

00:21:06.099 --> 00:21:07.119
 relent

00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:08.420
 and do

00:21:08.420 --> 00:21:09.059
 not bring

00:21:09.059 --> 00:21:09.740
 disaster

00:21:09.740 --> 00:21:10.539
 on your

00:21:10.539 --> 00:21:11.059
 people.

00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:14.259
 Well if

00:21:14.259 --> 00:21:14.740
 we were to

00:21:14.740 --> 00:21:15.139
 go on

00:21:15.139 --> 00:21:15.779
 reading through

00:21:15.779 --> 00:21:16.440
 the story

00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:18.000
 we would

00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:18.480
 see that

00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:19.039
 God does

00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:20.139
 not ignore

00:21:20.139 --> 00:21:21.099
 their

00:21:21.099 --> 00:21:21.680
 rebellious

00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:22.200
 behaviour.

00:21:23.259 --> 00:21:23.960
 He does

00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:24.680
 punish the

00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:25.039
 people

00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:26.480
 but

00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:27.900
 he does

00:21:27.900 --> 00:21:28.460
 relent

00:21:28.460 --> 00:21:29.200
 and the

00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:29.620
 vast

00:21:29.620 --> 00:21:30.340
 majority

00:21:30.340 --> 00:21:31.019
 are

00:21:31.019 --> 00:21:31.840
 saved

00:21:31.840 --> 00:21:33.240
 but

00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:33.660
 God

00:21:33.660 --> 00:21:33.920
 is

00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:34.600
 still

00:21:34.600 --> 00:21:35.700
 unwavering

00:21:35.700 --> 00:21:36.360
 in his

00:21:36.360 --> 00:21:36.960
 command

00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:37.720
 to the

00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:38.120
 people.

00:21:38.120 --> 00:21:38.779
 Chapter

00:21:38.779 --> 00:21:39.519
 34

00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:40.100
 verse

00:21:40.100 --> 00:21:40.920
 14

00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:45.960
 So after

00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:46.579
 this whole

00:21:46.579 --> 00:21:47.140
 episode

00:21:47.140 --> 00:21:47.860
 God

00:21:47.860 --> 00:21:48.579
 comes back

00:21:48.579 --> 00:21:48.940
 to it

00:21:48.940 --> 00:21:49.299
 again.

00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:49.840
 Verse

00:21:49.840 --> 00:21:50.420
 14

00:21:50.420 --> 00:21:50.940
 he says

00:21:50.940 --> 00:21:51.299
 to them

00:21:51.299 --> 00:21:52.279
 do not

00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:52.799
 worship

00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:53.519
 any other

00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:53.940
 God.

00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:55.240
 for the

00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:55.660
 Lord

00:21:55.660 --> 00:21:56.079
 whose

00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:56.519
 name

00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:56.860
 is

00:21:56.860 --> 00:21:57.360
 jealous

00:21:57.360 --> 00:21:59.700
 is a

00:21:59.700 --> 00:22:00.059
 jealous

00:22:00.059 --> 00:22:00.579
 God.

00:22:03.180 --> 00:22:04.140
 You see

00:22:04.140 --> 00:22:04.799
 God does

00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:05.319
 not want

00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:05.940
 to share

00:22:05.940 --> 00:22:06.440
 us

00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:07.480
 with

00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:07.860
 anything

00:22:07.860 --> 00:22:08.420
 else

00:22:08.420 --> 00:22:09.680
 or anyone

00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:10.220
 else.

00:22:10.860 --> 00:22:11.340
 We

00:22:11.340 --> 00:22:12.079
 belong

00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:12.700
 to him

00:22:12.700 --> 00:22:13.680
 so he

00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:14.380
 deserves

00:22:14.380 --> 00:22:15.380
 our lives

00:22:15.380 --> 00:22:16.120
 he deserves

00:22:16.120 --> 00:22:16.460
 our

00:22:16.460 --> 00:22:16.840
 worship.

00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:18.960
 We

00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:19.400
 sometimes

00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:19.840
 think of

00:22:19.840 --> 00:22:20.220
 jealousy

00:22:20.220 --> 00:22:20.779
 as something

00:22:20.779 --> 00:22:21.680
 that's

00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:22.200
 negative.

00:22:23.059 --> 00:22:23.440
 But

00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:23.899
 jealousy

00:22:23.899 --> 00:22:24.480
 can also

00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:24.700
 be

00:22:24.700 --> 00:22:25.079
 something

00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:25.680
 positive.

00:22:27.139 --> 00:22:27.660
 So think

00:22:27.660 --> 00:22:27.940
 of a

00:22:27.940 --> 00:22:28.240
 married

00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:28.940
 relationship.

00:22:29.980 --> 00:22:30.700
 If you're

00:22:30.700 --> 00:22:31.019
 in that

00:22:31.019 --> 00:22:31.420
 married

00:22:31.420 --> 00:22:32.019
 relationship

00:22:32.019 --> 00:22:33.379
 you don't

00:22:33.379 --> 00:22:33.859
 want to

00:22:33.859 --> 00:22:34.480
 share your

00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:35.240
 husband or

00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:35.940
 wife with

00:22:35.940 --> 00:22:36.259
 another

00:22:36.259 --> 00:22:36.779
 person.

00:22:38.779 --> 00:22:39.859
 So suppose

00:22:39.859 --> 00:22:40.240
 you're a

00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:40.779
 wife and

00:22:40.779 --> 00:22:41.319
 your husband

00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:42.079
 comes home

00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:42.619
 one day

00:22:42.619 --> 00:22:43.480
 and brings

00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:43.819
 another

00:22:43.819 --> 00:22:44.420
 woman into

00:22:44.420 --> 00:22:44.920
 the home

00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:46.360
 and says

00:22:46.360 --> 00:22:47.440
 I want

00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:48.039
 to share

00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:48.680
 my love

00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:49.500
 with this

00:22:49.500 --> 00:22:50.039
 woman as

00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:50.320
 well.

00:22:51.380 --> 00:22:52.000
 She's going

00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:52.440
 to move

00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:52.860
 in with

00:22:52.860 --> 00:22:53.259
 us and

00:22:53.259 --> 00:22:54.039
 we're going

00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:54.360
 to live

00:22:54.360 --> 00:22:55.080
 together and

00:22:55.080 --> 00:22:55.940
 well we

00:22:55.940 --> 00:22:56.360
 can be

00:22:56.360 --> 00:22:56.700
 committed

00:22:56.700 --> 00:22:57.160
 to her

00:22:57.160 --> 00:22:57.519
 too.

00:22:59.200 --> 00:22:59.960
 What would

00:22:59.960 --> 00:23:00.340
 you say

00:23:00.340 --> 00:23:00.940
 to that?

00:23:01.700 --> 00:23:01.940
 Oh

00:23:01.940 --> 00:23:02.539
 that's

00:23:02.539 --> 00:23:02.960
 okay.

00:23:03.539 --> 00:23:04.300
 I've no

00:23:04.300 --> 00:23:04.920
 problem with

00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:05.080
 that.

00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:05.519
 We can

00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:06.100
 share our

00:23:06.100 --> 00:23:06.820
 loyalty and

00:23:06.820 --> 00:23:07.039
 love

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:07.500
 together.

00:23:08.980 --> 00:23:09.920
 Of course

00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:10.700
 you wouldn't.

00:23:11.460 --> 00:23:11.920
 There would

00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:12.519
 be a

00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:12.960
 righteous

00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:13.680
 kind of

00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:14.200
 anger.

00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:14.980
 there would

00:23:14.980 --> 00:23:15.480
 be a

00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:16.019
 jealousy

00:23:16.019 --> 00:23:16.920
 that rises

00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:17.620
 up within

00:23:17.620 --> 00:23:18.460
 you because

00:23:18.460 --> 00:23:18.900
 you are

00:23:18.900 --> 00:23:19.660
 jealous for

00:23:19.660 --> 00:23:20.420
 your husband's

00:23:20.420 --> 00:23:21.120
 love because

00:23:21.120 --> 00:23:21.900
 you're committed

00:23:21.900 --> 00:23:22.720
 to each other

00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:23.400
 and you are

00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:24.120
 not going to

00:23:24.120 --> 00:23:24.620
 share that

00:23:24.620 --> 00:23:25.100
 love with

00:23:25.100 --> 00:23:25.840
 someone else.

00:23:28.380 --> 00:23:29.279
 Now how do

00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:29.799
 you think the

00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:30.559
 creator of the

00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:31.160
 world should

00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:31.940
 respond when

00:23:31.940 --> 00:23:32.860
 his creation,

00:23:33.779 --> 00:23:34.660
 his people,

00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:36.019
 who he loves

00:23:36.019 --> 00:23:36.980
 and who he

00:23:36.980 --> 00:23:37.640
 sustains,

00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:38.360
 who he

00:23:38.360 --> 00:23:39.220
 provides for,

00:23:39.500 --> 00:23:39.920
 who he

00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:41.960
 rescues and

00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:42.700
 they give

00:23:42.700 --> 00:23:43.580
 their love and

00:23:43.580 --> 00:23:44.059
 loyalty,

00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:44.720
 to someone

00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:45.200
 else?

00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:46.380
 How do

00:23:46.380 --> 00:23:46.740
 you think

00:23:46.740 --> 00:23:47.220
 God will

00:23:47.220 --> 00:23:47.759
 respond?

00:23:50.019 --> 00:23:50.779
 Oh it's

00:23:50.779 --> 00:23:51.180
 okay.

00:23:52.500 --> 00:23:52.840
 That's

00:23:52.840 --> 00:23:53.160
 alright.

00:23:53.299 --> 00:23:53.680
 Live how

00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:54.120
 you like.

00:23:54.420 --> 00:23:55.080
 Just pretend

00:23:55.080 --> 00:23:55.559
 that these

00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:56.200
 other gods

00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:57.080
 rescued you.

00:23:57.380 --> 00:23:58.080
 Just pretend

00:23:58.080 --> 00:23:58.519
 that these

00:23:58.519 --> 00:23:59.059
 other gods

00:23:59.059 --> 00:23:59.740
 provide for

00:23:59.740 --> 00:23:59.880
 you.

00:24:00.120 --> 00:24:00.720
 It's fine.

00:24:00.860 --> 00:24:01.220
 Make your

00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:01.680
 own gods.

00:24:01.740 --> 00:24:02.120
 It's all

00:24:02.120 --> 00:24:02.559
 okay.

00:24:05.140 --> 00:24:05.640
 No,

00:24:05.700 --> 00:24:06.279
 God is a

00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:07.059
 jealous God.

00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:09.380
 I am

00:24:09.380 --> 00:24:10.059
 your God

00:24:10.059 --> 00:24:10.940
 who rescued

00:24:10.940 --> 00:24:11.759
 you.

00:24:12.420 --> 00:24:13.200
 So give

00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:13.840
 me your

00:24:13.840 --> 00:24:15.019
 undivided

00:24:15.019 --> 00:24:15.600
 loyalty

00:24:15.600 --> 00:24:16.660
 and devotion.

00:24:17.320 --> 00:24:17.660
 Worship

00:24:17.660 --> 00:24:19.059
 only

00:24:19.059 --> 00:24:20.059
 me.

00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:22.519
 You see,

00:24:22.580 --> 00:24:22.900
 if we are

00:24:22.900 --> 00:24:23.320
 going to

00:24:23.320 --> 00:24:23.660
 live in

00:24:23.660 --> 00:24:24.220
 relationship

00:24:24.220 --> 00:24:24.920
 with God,

00:24:25.460 --> 00:24:26.660
 there is

00:24:26.660 --> 00:24:27.320
 no room

00:24:27.320 --> 00:24:27.940
 for another.

00:24:29.539 --> 00:24:29.960
 It is

00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:30.620
 God who

00:24:30.620 --> 00:24:31.200
 is first

00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:32.820
 and he

00:24:32.820 --> 00:24:33.480
 shapes

00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:34.700
 every other

00:24:34.700 --> 00:24:35.340
 relationship

00:24:35.339 --> 00:24:36.480
 that we

00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:37.139
 may have.

00:24:38.579 --> 00:24:39.339
 So he

00:24:39.339 --> 00:24:40.000
 commands that

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:40.500
 we worship

00:24:40.500 --> 00:24:41.199
 only him.

00:24:41.439 --> 00:24:41.759
 Second,

00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:44.039
 God desires

00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:44.599
 that we

00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:45.199
 can live

00:24:45.199 --> 00:24:45.720
 with him.

00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:48.099
 Look at

00:24:48.099 --> 00:24:48.679
 what God

00:24:48.679 --> 00:24:49.359
 commanded

00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:50.939
 Moses a

00:24:50.939 --> 00:24:51.559
 little earlier.

00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:52.039
 Just go

00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:52.480
 back to

00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:52.839
 Exodus

00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:54.139
 chapter 29.

00:24:57.439 --> 00:24:58.039
 Exodus

00:24:58.039 --> 00:24:58.759
 29

00:24:58.759 --> 00:24:59.099
 verse

00:24:59.099 --> 00:24:59.879
 44.

00:25:01.699 --> 00:25:02.179
 Here's

00:25:02.179 --> 00:25:03.019
 something else

00:25:03.019 --> 00:25:03.459
 God had

00:25:03.459 --> 00:25:03.919
 said to

00:25:03.919 --> 00:25:04.439
 the people.

00:25:05.339 --> 00:25:08.339
 verse 44.

00:25:08.500 --> 00:25:08.799
 He says,

00:25:08.859 --> 00:25:09.179
 I will

00:25:09.179 --> 00:25:10.139
 consecrate

00:25:10.139 --> 00:25:11.539
 the tent

00:25:11.539 --> 00:25:12.359
 of meeting.

00:25:13.699 --> 00:25:14.319
 Now the

00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:14.740
 tent of

00:25:14.740 --> 00:25:15.019
 meeting,

00:25:15.159 --> 00:25:15.579
 you can

00:25:15.579 --> 00:25:16.119
 read about

00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:16.659
 this through

00:25:16.659 --> 00:25:17.059
 Exodus.

00:25:17.220 --> 00:25:17.559
 The tent

00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:18.099
 of meeting

00:25:18.099 --> 00:25:19.220
 is sometimes

00:25:19.220 --> 00:25:19.879
 referred to

00:25:19.879 --> 00:25:20.339
 as the

00:25:20.339 --> 00:25:21.099
 tabernacle.

00:25:22.199 --> 00:25:22.679
 Basically

00:25:22.679 --> 00:25:23.379
 it was a

00:25:23.379 --> 00:25:24.319
 very carefully

00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:25.279
 designed

00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:26.259
 mobile

00:25:26.259 --> 00:25:27.220
 tent.

00:25:27.939 --> 00:25:28.399
 Very

00:25:28.399 --> 00:25:28.980
 intricate

00:25:28.980 --> 00:25:29.879
 and specially

00:25:29.879 --> 00:25:30.519
 designed

00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:31.240
 by God.

00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:32.599
 And this

00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:33.159
 tent was

00:25:33.159 --> 00:25:33.819
 where God

00:25:33.819 --> 00:25:34.639
 would live

00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:36.020
 amongst

00:25:36.020 --> 00:25:36.340
 the

00:25:36.340 --> 00:25:36.759
 people.

00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:37.920
 So

00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:38.920
 verse 45.

00:25:40.320 --> 00:25:41.060
 Then I

00:25:41.060 --> 00:25:41.920
 will dwell

00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:42.620
 or I

00:25:42.620 --> 00:25:43.360
 will live

00:25:43.360 --> 00:25:44.300
 among the

00:25:44.300 --> 00:25:44.860
 Israelites

00:25:44.860 --> 00:25:45.300
 and be

00:25:45.300 --> 00:25:45.900
 their God.

00:25:46.180 --> 00:25:46.680
 They will

00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:47.340
 know that

00:25:47.340 --> 00:25:47.880
 I am the

00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:48.340
 Lord their

00:25:48.340 --> 00:25:48.820
 God who

00:25:48.820 --> 00:25:49.320
 brought them

00:25:49.320 --> 00:25:49.660
 out of

00:25:49.660 --> 00:25:50.500
 Egypt so

00:25:50.500 --> 00:25:51.080
 that I

00:25:51.080 --> 00:25:52.060
 might dwell

00:25:52.060 --> 00:25:52.800
 or live

00:25:52.800 --> 00:25:53.600
 among them.

00:25:54.060 --> 00:25:54.640
 I am the

00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:55.180
 Lord their

00:25:55.180 --> 00:25:55.660
 God.

00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:58.740
 Now when

00:25:58.740 --> 00:25:59.460
 we think of

00:25:59.460 --> 00:25:59.780
 what the

00:25:59.780 --> 00:26:00.400
 people did

00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:00.980
 next,

00:26:00.980 --> 00:26:01.079
 Christ.

00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:03.420
 So we are

00:26:03.420 --> 00:26:03.920
 in chapter

00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:04.480
 29.

00:26:04.940 --> 00:26:05.319
 Remember

00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:05.740
 what they

00:26:05.740 --> 00:26:06.420
 just did

00:26:06.420 --> 00:26:07.099
 in chapter

00:26:07.099 --> 00:26:07.740
 32.

00:26:08.700 --> 00:26:09.279
 They went

00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:09.819
 making a

00:26:09.819 --> 00:26:10.579
 gold calf

00:26:10.579 --> 00:26:11.319
 to replace

00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:11.799
 God.

00:26:13.299 --> 00:26:13.620
 Now you

00:26:13.620 --> 00:26:14.000
 would think

00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:14.279
 in the

00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:14.759
 knowledge of

00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:15.039
 all of

00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:15.539
 that God

00:26:15.539 --> 00:26:16.279
 would get

00:26:16.279 --> 00:26:17.099
 wise about

00:26:17.099 --> 00:26:17.539
 what they are

00:26:17.539 --> 00:26:18.180
 like and

00:26:18.180 --> 00:26:18.480
 he would

00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:19.000
 pull out

00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:19.299
 of the

00:26:19.299 --> 00:26:19.779
 deal and

00:26:19.779 --> 00:26:20.059
 you go

00:26:20.059 --> 00:26:20.599
 I am

00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:21.180
 not moving

00:26:21.180 --> 00:26:21.559
 in with

00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:22.160
 that lot.

00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:23.380
 Look at

00:26:23.380 --> 00:26:23.819
 the way in

00:26:23.819 --> 00:26:24.180
 which they

00:26:24.180 --> 00:26:24.620
 behave.

00:26:24.900 --> 00:26:25.099
 There is

00:26:25.099 --> 00:26:25.960
 no way I am

00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:26.480
 going to be

00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:27.160
 in relationship

00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:27.759
 with them.

00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:30.720
 But that is

00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:31.319
 not what

00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:31.940
 happens.

00:26:33.299 --> 00:26:33.920
 Have a look

00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:34.460
 at Exodus

00:26:34.460 --> 00:26:35.500
 chapter 40

00:26:35.500 --> 00:26:36.039
 at the very

00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:36.539
 end.

00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:40.000
 Exodus

00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:41.039
 chapter 40

00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:47.920
 verse 1

00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:53.279
 Exodus 40

00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:53.819
 verse 1

00:26:53.819 --> 00:26:54.180
 Then the

00:26:54.180 --> 00:26:54.779
 Lord said

00:26:54.779 --> 00:26:55.480
 to Moses

00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:56.920
 set up

00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:57.120
 the

00:26:57.120 --> 00:26:57.740
 tabernacle

00:26:57.740 --> 00:26:57.960
 the

00:26:57.960 --> 00:26:58.299
 tent

00:26:58.299 --> 00:26:58.480
 of

00:26:58.480 --> 00:26:58.880
 meeting

00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:00.000
 on the

00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:00.759
 first day

00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:02.140
 of the

00:27:02.140 --> 00:27:03.120
 first month.

00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:05.680
 Then move

00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:06.140
 down to

00:27:06.140 --> 00:27:07.059
 verse 33

00:27:07.059 --> 00:27:10.460
 Then Moses

00:27:10.460 --> 00:27:11.000
 set up

00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:11.640
 the courtyard

00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:12.500
 around the

00:27:12.500 --> 00:27:13.160
 tabernacle

00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:14.319
 So he's

00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:14.860
 setting up

00:27:14.860 --> 00:27:15.339
 the tent

00:27:15.339 --> 00:27:16.279
 as God

00:27:16.279 --> 00:27:16.839
 had designed

00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:17.500
 in the altar

00:27:17.500 --> 00:27:17.940
 and he put

00:27:17.940 --> 00:27:18.259
 up the

00:27:18.259 --> 00:27:18.559
 curtain

00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:18.940
 at the

00:27:18.940 --> 00:27:19.440
 entrance

00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:20.819
 and so

00:27:20.819 --> 00:27:21.220
 Moses

00:27:21.220 --> 00:27:21.680
 finished

00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:22.240
 the work.

00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:24.460
 Then the

00:27:24.460 --> 00:27:25.059
 cloud

00:27:25.059 --> 00:27:26.299
 the cloud

00:27:26.299 --> 00:27:27.059
 represents

00:27:27.059 --> 00:27:27.899
 the presence

00:27:27.899 --> 00:27:28.879
 of God

00:27:28.879 --> 00:27:29.639
 coming down.

00:27:29.639 --> 00:27:30.639
 The cloud

00:27:30.639 --> 00:27:31.399
 covered the

00:27:31.399 --> 00:27:31.940
 tent of

00:27:31.940 --> 00:27:32.339
 meeting

00:27:32.339 --> 00:27:33.200
 and the

00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:34.059
 glory of

00:27:34.059 --> 00:27:34.679
 the Lord

00:27:34.679 --> 00:27:35.639
 filled

00:27:35.639 --> 00:27:37.319
 the tabernacle.

00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:38.980
 You see

00:27:38.980 --> 00:27:39.579
 God

00:27:39.579 --> 00:27:41.139
 comes down

00:27:41.139 --> 00:27:42.099
 into the

00:27:42.099 --> 00:27:42.779
 midst of

00:27:42.779 --> 00:27:43.460
 these people.

00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:44.500
 God is

00:27:44.500 --> 00:27:46.159
 moving in

00:27:46.159 --> 00:27:47.579
 with these

00:27:47.579 --> 00:27:48.200
 bunch of

00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:48.539
 rebels.

00:27:49.740 --> 00:27:50.559
 Now logically

00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:51.379
 it's the wrong

00:27:51.379 --> 00:27:52.500
 kind of response

00:27:52.500 --> 00:27:52.960
 isn't it?

00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:53.480
 After

00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:54.140
 everything

00:27:54.140 --> 00:27:54.619
 that the

00:27:54.619 --> 00:27:54.940
 people

00:27:54.940 --> 00:27:55.420
 had done

00:27:55.420 --> 00:27:56.119
 God

00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:56.579
 should be

00:27:56.579 --> 00:27:56.920
 keeping

00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:57.180
 his

00:27:57.180 --> 00:27:57.700
 distance

00:27:57.700 --> 00:27:58.079
 from

00:27:58.079 --> 00:27:58.380
 them.

00:28:00.140 --> 00:28:00.680
 But we're

00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:01.380
 not dealing

00:28:01.380 --> 00:28:02.619
 with somebody

00:28:02.619 --> 00:28:03.400
 who's like

00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:03.779
 us.

00:28:04.779 --> 00:28:05.640
 If somebody

00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:06.400
 offends us

00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:06.980
 and upsets

00:28:06.980 --> 00:28:07.720
 us we

00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:08.380
 pull back

00:28:08.380 --> 00:28:09.339
 we withdraw.

00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:10.880
 But God

00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:11.819
 is so personal

00:28:11.819 --> 00:28:12.339
 and so

00:28:12.339 --> 00:28:13.180
 intimate and so

00:28:13.180 --> 00:28:13.940
 concerned for

00:28:13.940 --> 00:28:14.460
 his people

00:28:14.460 --> 00:28:15.140
 that he

00:28:15.140 --> 00:28:15.940
 actually moves

00:28:15.940 --> 00:28:16.359
 in with

00:28:16.359 --> 00:28:16.559
 them.

00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:18.140
 He's moving

00:28:18.140 --> 00:28:18.799
 in with a

00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:19.740
 bunch of

00:28:19.740 --> 00:28:20.420
 failures.

00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:23.099
 You see

00:28:23.099 --> 00:28:23.519
 God

00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:24.220
 not only

00:28:24.220 --> 00:28:24.759
 wants to

00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:25.200
 rescue

00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:25.920
 his people

00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:27.160
 he longs

00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:27.519
 for this

00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:28.160
 relationship

00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:29.140
 he longs

00:28:29.140 --> 00:28:29.819
 to reside

00:28:29.819 --> 00:28:30.779
 with messy

00:28:30.779 --> 00:28:31.559
 broken

00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:32.440
 people

00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:33.400
 like us.

00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:34.559
 It shouldn't

00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:35.099
 happen

00:28:35.099 --> 00:28:36.759
 but yet

00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:37.299
 that's what

00:28:37.299 --> 00:28:37.920
 God does

00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:38.720
 for us.

00:28:40.299 --> 00:28:41.220
 Later on

00:28:41.220 --> 00:28:41.920
 in Numbers

00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:42.640
 chapter 2

00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:43.120
 you can look

00:28:43.120 --> 00:28:43.579
 at it later

00:28:43.579 --> 00:28:43.920
 on

00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:45.200
 we read

00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:45.900
 about a

00:28:45.900 --> 00:28:47.039
 great detailed

00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:47.779
 plan of how

00:28:47.779 --> 00:28:48.339
 the whole

00:28:48.339 --> 00:28:49.059
 camp should

00:28:49.059 --> 00:28:49.879
 be set up.

00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:51.200
 And the

00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:52.119
 whole camp

00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:52.839
 is set up

00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:53.960
 around this

00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:54.460
 tent of

00:28:54.460 --> 00:28:54.819
 meeting.

00:28:55.740 --> 00:28:56.359
 So wherever

00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:57.279
 they go and

00:28:57.279 --> 00:28:57.720
 settle

00:28:57.720 --> 00:28:59.059
 God's tent

00:28:59.059 --> 00:28:59.799
 the tent

00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:00.339
 of meeting

00:29:00.339 --> 00:29:01.139
 is always

00:29:01.139 --> 00:29:01.759
 in the middle

00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:02.339
 of the camp.

00:29:02.940 --> 00:29:03.539
 Surrounding

00:29:03.539 --> 00:29:04.679
 it is

00:29:04.679 --> 00:29:05.220
 everybody

00:29:05.220 --> 00:29:05.940
 else's

00:29:05.940 --> 00:29:06.200
 tent.

00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:07.859
 And even

00:29:07.859 --> 00:29:08.279
 when they

00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:08.700
 get up

00:29:08.700 --> 00:29:08.960
 and they

00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:09.299
 start

00:29:09.299 --> 00:29:09.720
 travelling

00:29:09.720 --> 00:29:10.179
 somewhere

00:29:10.179 --> 00:29:10.480
 else

00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:11.279
 God's

00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:11.519
 tent

00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:12.119
 is always

00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:12.500
 in the

00:29:12.500 --> 00:29:12.700
 middle

00:29:12.700 --> 00:29:13.179
 of all

00:29:13.179 --> 00:29:13.619
 the people

00:29:13.619 --> 00:29:14.059
 as they

00:29:14.059 --> 00:29:14.480
 move

00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:15.179
 along.

00:29:15.639 --> 00:29:16.259
 God

00:29:16.259 --> 00:29:17.019
 living

00:29:17.019 --> 00:29:17.839
 among

00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:18.879
 failures.

00:29:19.059 --> 00:29:20.819
 it is

00:29:20.819 --> 00:29:21.119
 as if

00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:21.419
 God

00:29:21.419 --> 00:29:21.639
 is

00:29:21.639 --> 00:29:22.220
 ramming

00:29:22.220 --> 00:29:22.599
 home

00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:22.819
 to

00:29:22.819 --> 00:29:23.039
 these

00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:23.460
 people

00:29:23.460 --> 00:29:24.179
 even

00:29:24.179 --> 00:29:24.559
 though

00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:24.819
 you

00:29:24.819 --> 00:29:25.319
 fail

00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:26.139
 even

00:29:26.139 --> 00:29:26.460
 though

00:29:26.460 --> 00:29:26.720
 you

00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:27.099
 worship

00:29:27.099 --> 00:29:27.500
 other

00:29:27.500 --> 00:29:27.899
 gods

00:29:27.899 --> 00:29:28.440
 I

00:29:28.440 --> 00:29:28.899
 will

00:29:28.899 --> 00:29:29.179
 be

00:29:29.179 --> 00:29:29.440
 your

00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:29.799
 God

00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:30.220
 and

00:29:30.220 --> 00:29:30.460
 you

00:29:30.460 --> 00:29:30.899
 will

00:29:30.899 --> 00:29:31.159
 be

00:29:31.159 --> 00:29:31.440
 my

00:29:31.440 --> 00:29:31.859
 people

00:29:31.859 --> 00:29:32.379
 I

00:29:32.379 --> 00:29:32.879
 am

00:29:32.879 --> 00:29:33.359
 committed

00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:33.639
 to

00:29:33.639 --> 00:29:33.839
 you

00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:34.279
 I

00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:34.960
 rescued

00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:35.359
 you

00:29:35.359 --> 00:29:35.740
 and

00:29:35.740 --> 00:29:36.059
 I

00:29:36.059 --> 00:29:36.240
 am

00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:36.500
 going

00:29:36.500 --> 00:29:36.740
 to

00:29:36.740 --> 00:29:37.079
 show

00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:37.559
 you

00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:37.839
 how

00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:38.059
 to

00:29:38.059 --> 00:29:38.259
 live

00:29:38.259 --> 00:29:38.399
 in

00:29:38.399 --> 00:29:38.960
 relationship

00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:39.299
 with

00:29:39.299 --> 00:29:39.559
 me.

00:29:40.919 --> 00:29:41.599
 This

00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:42.200
 is

00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:42.359
 the

00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:42.639
 kind

00:29:42.639 --> 00:29:42.799
 of

00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:43.159
 God

00:29:43.159 --> 00:29:44.139
 that

00:29:44.139 --> 00:29:44.359
 we

00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:44.779
 have.

00:29:44.779 --> 00:29:48.539
 God

00:29:48.539 --> 00:29:49.059
 but yet

00:29:49.059 --> 00:29:50.700
 how do

00:29:50.700 --> 00:29:51.200
 we live

00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:51.359
 in

00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:51.920
 relationship

00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:52.339
 with a

00:29:52.339 --> 00:29:52.599
 God

00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:53.000
 who is

00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:53.240
 so

00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:53.940
 personal

00:29:53.940 --> 00:29:55.740
 but yet

00:29:55.740 --> 00:29:56.039
 so

00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:56.579
 jealous.

00:29:57.420 --> 00:29:57.799
 A

00:29:57.799 --> 00:29:58.039
 God

00:29:58.039 --> 00:29:58.420
 who is

00:29:58.420 --> 00:29:59.019
 demanding

00:29:59.019 --> 00:29:59.319
 our

00:29:59.319 --> 00:29:59.759
 worship

00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:01.720
 but then

00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:02.279
 strikes

00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:03.019
 people down

00:30:03.019 --> 00:30:03.359
 when they

00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:03.680
 don't

00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:04.019
 worship

00:30:04.019 --> 00:30:04.259
 him

00:30:04.259 --> 00:30:04.720
 properly.

00:30:06.460 --> 00:30:06.980
 God

00:30:06.980 --> 00:30:07.619
 may want

00:30:07.619 --> 00:30:08.059
 to live

00:30:08.059 --> 00:30:08.399
 among

00:30:08.399 --> 00:30:08.859
 us

00:30:08.859 --> 00:30:10.480
 but he's

00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:11.319
 so powerful

00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:11.899
 and so

00:30:11.899 --> 00:30:12.440
 pure

00:30:12.440 --> 00:30:13.140
 it's

00:30:13.140 --> 00:30:13.400
 not

00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:13.900
 safe

00:30:13.900 --> 00:30:14.100
 for

00:30:14.100 --> 00:30:14.279
 us

00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:14.500
 to

00:30:14.500 --> 00:30:14.740
 live

00:30:14.740 --> 00:30:15.019
 with

00:30:15.019 --> 00:30:15.279
 him.

00:30:16.920 --> 00:30:17.460
 So

00:30:17.460 --> 00:30:18.019
 how do

00:30:18.019 --> 00:30:18.400
 we get

00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:18.660
 over

00:30:18.660 --> 00:30:18.920
 this

00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:19.460
 tension

00:30:19.460 --> 00:30:19.920
 and this

00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:20.420
 obstacle

00:30:20.420 --> 00:30:21.519
 how can

00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:21.980
 we get

00:30:21.980 --> 00:30:22.380
 to live

00:30:22.380 --> 00:30:22.519
 in

00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:23.100
 relationship

00:30:23.100 --> 00:30:23.440
 with

00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:23.640
 this

00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:23.980
 God?

00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:27.100
 Well

00:30:27.100 --> 00:30:27.559
 third

00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:29.480
 God

00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:30.059
 provides

00:30:30.059 --> 00:30:30.660
 the means

00:30:30.660 --> 00:30:31.640
 or the

00:30:31.640 --> 00:30:32.200
 way so

00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:32.580
 that we

00:30:32.580 --> 00:30:33.160
 can

00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:34.380
 enjoy

00:30:34.380 --> 00:30:34.779
 him.

00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:37.820
 Go

00:30:37.820 --> 00:30:38.180
 to

00:30:38.180 --> 00:30:38.900
 Leviticus

00:30:38.900 --> 00:30:40.700
 chapter

00:30:40.700 --> 00:30:41.420
 16

00:30:41.420 --> 00:30:43.560
 and

00:30:43.560 --> 00:30:43.940
 here's

00:30:43.940 --> 00:30:44.240
 where you

00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:44.640
 need to

00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:44.940
 start

00:30:44.940 --> 00:30:45.360
 talking

00:30:45.360 --> 00:30:45.740
 to your

00:30:45.740 --> 00:30:46.080
 children

00:30:46.080 --> 00:30:46.440
 over

00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:46.920
 lunch

00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:48.800
 and

00:30:48.800 --> 00:30:49.120
 find

00:30:49.120 --> 00:30:49.300
 out

00:30:49.300 --> 00:30:49.440

00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:49.740
 they've

00:30:49.740 --> 00:30:49.900
 been

00:30:49.900 --> 00:30:50.220
 learning

00:30:50.220 --> 00:30:50.460
 in

00:30:50.460 --> 00:30:51.000
 Leviticus.

00:30:54.279 --> 00:30:54.840
 You

00:30:54.840 --> 00:30:55.240
 see this

00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:55.779
 tent of

00:30:55.779 --> 00:30:56.240
 meeting

00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:57.700
 was a

00:30:57.700 --> 00:30:58.200
 place where

00:30:58.200 --> 00:30:58.660
 the people

00:30:58.660 --> 00:30:59.120
 could come

00:30:59.500 --> 00:30:59.920
 God.

00:31:00.900 --> 00:31:01.420
 But you

00:31:01.420 --> 00:31:01.700
 couldn't

00:31:01.700 --> 00:31:02.120
 just go

00:31:02.120 --> 00:31:02.560
 walking

00:31:02.560 --> 00:31:03.080
 in there

00:31:05.320 --> 00:31:05.740
 okay.

 actually

00:31:11.740 --> 00:31:12.339
 get to

00:31:14.980 --> 00:31:15.480
 can

00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:15.819

00:31:23.619 --> 00:31:24.139

00:31:24.139 --> 00:31:24.319
 us

00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:24.939
 the clue

00:31:24.939 --> 00:31:25.659
 it gives

00:31:25.659 --> 00:31:25.859
 us

00:31:25.859 --> 00:31:26.079

00:31:29.339 --> 00:31:29.980
 Have

00:31:29.980 --> 00:31:30.199

 chapter

00:31:31.259 --> 00:31:31.879

00:31:32.339 --> 00:31:32.459
 The

00:31:32.459 --> 00:31:32.779
 Lord

00:31:32.779 --> 00:31:33.279
 spoke

00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:33.539
 to

00:31:33.539 --> 00:31:34.039
 Moses

00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:35.019
 after

00:31:35.019 --> 00:31:35.379
 the

00:31:35.379 --> 00:31:35.799
 death

00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:36.119
 of

00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:36.299
 the

00:31:36.299 --> 00:31:36.619
 two

00:31:36.619 --> 00:31:37.119
 sons

00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:37.359
 of

00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:37.740
 Aaron

00:31:37.740 --> 00:31:38.279
 who

00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:38.940
 died

00:31:38.940 --> 00:31:40.700
 when

00:31:40.700 --> 00:31:41.000
 they

00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:41.660
 approached

00:31:41.660 --> 00:31:42.259
 the

00:31:42.259 --> 00:31:42.700
 Lord.

00:31:43.700 --> 00:31:44.019
 Do you

00:31:44.019 --> 00:31:44.440
 see what

00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:44.920
 happens

00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:45.640
 when they

00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:46.120
 try to

00:31:46.120 --> 00:31:46.720
 get close

00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:47.319
 to God?

00:31:47.779 --> 00:31:48.220
 They

00:31:48.220 --> 00:31:48.779
 die.

00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:49.380
 God

00:31:49.380 --> 00:31:49.799
 is too

00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:50.380
 powerful,

00:31:50.579 --> 00:31:50.740
 too

00:31:50.740 --> 00:31:51.279
 pure.

00:31:51.859 --> 00:31:52.079
 And

00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:52.380
 when you

00:31:52.380 --> 00:31:52.819
 try to

00:31:52.819 --> 00:31:53.380
 get close

00:31:53.380 --> 00:31:53.799
 to him,

00:31:54.460 --> 00:31:55.259
 you die.

00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:55.859
 We

00:31:55.859 --> 00:31:56.720
 cannot live

00:31:56.720 --> 00:31:57.120
 in his

00:31:57.120 --> 00:31:57.599
 presence.

00:31:58.599 --> 00:31:59.359
 So what

00:31:59.359 --> 00:31:59.579
 are they

00:31:59.579 --> 00:31:59.980
 going to

00:31:59.980 --> 00:32:00.299
 do?

00:32:01.940 --> 00:32:02.460
 Well,

00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:02.759
 God

00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:03.539
 provides a

00:32:03.539 --> 00:32:03.880
 special

00:32:03.880 --> 00:32:04.500
 sacrifice

00:32:04.500 --> 00:32:06.039
 which

00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:06.440
 happens

00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:06.900
 once

00:32:06.900 --> 00:32:07.119
 a

00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:07.440
 year.

00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:08.680
 And

00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:08.940
 it's

00:32:08.940 --> 00:32:09.440
 called,

00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:10.380
 as maybe

00:32:10.380 --> 00:32:10.839
 the heading

00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:11.160
 in your

00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:11.480
 Bible

00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:11.880
 has,

00:32:12.460 --> 00:32:12.680
 the

00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:13.059
 day

00:32:13.059 --> 00:32:13.920
 of

00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:14.500
 atonement.

00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:15.519
 And

00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:15.779
 that's

00:32:15.779 --> 00:32:15.960
 what

00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:16.259
 chapter

00:32:16.259 --> 00:32:16.619
 6

00:32:16.619 --> 00:32:16.799
 is

00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:16.960
 all

00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:17.240
 about.

00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:17.839
 Read

00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:18.099
 through

00:32:18.099 --> 00:32:18.259
 it.

00:32:18.539 --> 00:32:18.640
 It

00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:18.880
 has

00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:19.180
 this

00:32:19.180 --> 00:32:20.079
 atonement

00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:20.539
 all

00:32:20.539 --> 00:32:20.700
 the

00:32:20.700 --> 00:32:20.880
 way

00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:21.299
 through.

00:32:22.140 --> 00:32:22.519
 About

00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:23.039
 20

00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:23.539
 times

00:32:23.539 --> 00:32:23.779
 in

00:32:23.779 --> 00:32:24.119
 one

00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:24.599
 chapter.

00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:26.099
 Atonement

00:32:26.099 --> 00:32:26.619
 simply

00:32:26.619 --> 00:32:27.019
 means,

00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:27.319
 if you

00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:27.579
 look at

00:32:27.579 --> 00:32:27.720
 the

00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:28.140
 screen,

00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:29.579
 God's

00:32:29.579 --> 00:32:29.920
 wrath

00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:30.259
 being

00:32:30.259 --> 00:32:30.619
 turned

00:32:30.619 --> 00:32:30.960
 away

00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:31.259
 from

00:32:31.259 --> 00:32:31.619
 us

00:32:31.619 --> 00:32:32.480
 so

00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:32.720
 that

00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:32.940
 we

00:32:32.940 --> 00:32:33.160
 can

00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:33.599
 be

00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:34.240
 at

00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:34.719
 one

00:32:34.719 --> 00:32:35.480
 with

00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:36.759
 God

00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:38.059
 so

00:32:38.059 --> 00:32:38.299
 that

00:32:38.299 --> 00:32:38.519
 we

00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:38.839
 can

00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:39.859
 enjoy

00:32:39.859 --> 00:32:40.240
 him,

00:32:40.619 --> 00:32:41.079
 relate

00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:41.379
 to

00:32:41.379 --> 00:32:41.679
 him.

00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:43.059
 Now

00:32:43.059 --> 00:32:43.259
 in

00:32:43.259 --> 00:32:43.500
 this

00:32:43.500 --> 00:32:43.980
 sacrifice,

00:32:43.980 --> 00:32:44.339
 we'll

00:32:44.339 --> 00:32:44.719
 go through

00:32:44.719 --> 00:32:45.079
 it quite

00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:45.519
 quickly,

00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:46.679
 this

00:32:46.679 --> 00:32:47.299
 sacrifice

00:32:47.299 --> 00:32:47.939
 required

00:32:47.939 --> 00:32:48.299
 two

00:32:48.299 --> 00:32:48.759
 goats.

00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:50.079
 The

00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:50.439
 first

00:32:50.439 --> 00:32:50.779
 goat

00:32:50.779 --> 00:32:51.019
 that

00:32:51.019 --> 00:32:51.179
 they

00:32:51.179 --> 00:32:51.339
 were

00:32:51.339 --> 00:32:51.500
 to

00:32:51.500 --> 00:32:51.859
 take,

00:32:52.439 --> 00:32:52.579
 well

00:32:52.579 --> 00:32:53.399
 this

00:32:53.399 --> 00:32:53.679
 goat

00:32:53.679 --> 00:32:53.859
 was

00:32:53.859 --> 00:32:54.000
 to

00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:54.179
 be

00:32:54.179 --> 00:32:54.639
 killed

00:32:54.639 --> 00:32:55.199
 for

00:32:55.199 --> 00:32:55.419
 the

00:32:55.419 --> 00:32:55.779
 sins

00:32:55.779 --> 00:32:55.980
 of

00:32:55.980 --> 00:32:56.119
 the

00:32:56.119 --> 00:32:56.500
 people.

00:32:57.199 --> 00:32:57.599
 In

00:32:57.599 --> 00:32:57.759
 a

00:32:57.759 --> 00:32:58.159
 dramatic

00:32:58.159 --> 00:32:58.539
 way,

00:32:58.599 --> 00:32:58.659
 it

00:32:58.659 --> 00:32:58.779
 was

00:32:58.779 --> 00:32:59.139
 teaching

00:32:59.139 --> 00:32:59.399
 all

00:32:59.399 --> 00:32:59.539
 the

00:32:59.539 --> 00:32:59.859
 people

00:32:59.859 --> 00:33:00.399
 that

00:33:00.399 --> 00:33:00.919
 somebody

00:33:00.919 --> 00:33:01.219
 had

00:33:01.219 --> 00:33:01.439
 to

00:33:01.439 --> 00:33:01.740
 die

00:33:01.740 --> 00:33:01.939
 in

00:33:01.939 --> 00:33:02.279
 place

00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:02.439
 of

00:33:02.439 --> 00:33:02.759
 them.

00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:05.139
 But

00:33:05.139 --> 00:33:05.319
 then

00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:05.519
 they

00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:05.719
 took

00:33:05.719 --> 00:33:05.899
 the

00:33:05.899 --> 00:33:06.240
 second

00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:06.639
 goat

00:33:06.639 --> 00:33:08.459
 and

00:33:08.459 --> 00:33:08.699
 this

00:33:08.699 --> 00:33:09.099
 second

00:33:09.099 --> 00:33:09.419
 goat,

00:33:09.539 --> 00:33:09.639
 well

00:33:09.639 --> 00:33:09.879
 it's

00:33:09.879 --> 00:33:10.139
 not

00:33:10.139 --> 00:33:10.679
 killed.

00:33:10.679 --> 00:33:11.459
 Have a

00:33:11.459 --> 00:33:11.699
 look at

00:33:11.699 --> 00:33:12.519
 verse 21.

00:33:13.659 --> 00:33:14.059
 Something

00:33:14.059 --> 00:33:14.539
 different

00:33:14.539 --> 00:33:15.179
 happens.

00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:17.039
 Chapter

00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:17.619
 16

00:33:17.619 --> 00:33:17.899
 verse

00:33:17.899 --> 00:33:18.459
 21.

00:33:18.460 --> 00:33:22.220
 He

00:33:22.220 --> 00:33:22.660
 is to

00:33:22.660 --> 00:33:22.940
 lay

00:33:22.940 --> 00:33:23.440
 both

00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:24.039
 hands

00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:24.539
 on the

00:33:24.539 --> 00:33:24.920
 head

00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:25.460
 of the

00:33:25.460 --> 00:33:25.940
 live

00:33:25.940 --> 00:33:26.440
 goat

00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:27.680
 and

00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:28.360
 confess

00:33:28.360 --> 00:33:28.920
 over

00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:29.200
 it

00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:29.640
 all

00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:29.880
 the

00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:30.440
 wickedness

00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:30.620
 and

00:33:30.620 --> 00:33:31.100
 rebellion

00:33:31.100 --> 00:33:31.720
 of the

00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:32.279
 Israelites,

00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:33.480
 all

00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:34.420
 their

00:33:34.420 --> 00:33:35.000
 sins,

00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:36.700
 and put

00:33:36.700 --> 00:33:37.380
 them on

00:33:37.380 --> 00:33:38.059
 the goat's

00:33:38.059 --> 00:33:38.420
 head.

00:33:39.299 --> 00:33:39.600
 He

00:33:39.600 --> 00:33:39.880
 shall

00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:40.319
 send

00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:40.779
 the goat

00:33:40.779 --> 00:33:41.220
 away

00:33:41.220 --> 00:33:41.720
 into

00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:41.960
 the

00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:42.340
 desert

00:33:42.340 --> 00:33:42.819
 in the

00:33:42.819 --> 00:33:43.100
 care

00:33:43.100 --> 00:33:43.440
 of a

00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:43.779
 man

00:33:43.779 --> 00:33:44.680
 appointed

00:33:44.680 --> 00:33:45.180
 for the

00:33:45.180 --> 00:33:45.720
 task.

00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:47.200
 The goat

00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:47.880
 will carry

00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:48.779
 on itself

00:33:48.779 --> 00:33:49.860
 all their

00:33:49.860 --> 00:33:50.360
 sins

00:33:50.360 --> 00:33:51.059
 to a

00:33:51.059 --> 00:33:51.500
 solitary

00:33:51.500 --> 00:33:52.140
 place

00:33:52.140 --> 00:33:53.019
 and the

00:33:53.019 --> 00:33:53.339
 man

00:33:53.339 --> 00:33:53.600
 shall

00:33:53.600 --> 00:33:53.860
 then

00:33:53.860 --> 00:33:54.360
 release

00:33:54.360 --> 00:33:54.640
 it

00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:56.079
 in the

00:33:56.079 --> 00:33:56.480
 desert.

00:33:58.519 --> 00:33:59.339
 Do you

00:33:59.339 --> 00:33:59.680
 see what

00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:00.299
 happens in

00:34:00.299 --> 00:34:01.100
 this symbolic

00:34:01.100 --> 00:34:01.640
 way?

00:34:02.860 --> 00:34:03.579
 The sins

00:34:03.579 --> 00:34:03.920
 of the

00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:04.360
 people

00:34:04.360 --> 00:34:05.420
 are

00:34:05.420 --> 00:34:06.200
 transferred.

00:34:06.660 --> 00:34:06.920
 They are

00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:07.660
 taken away

00:34:07.660 --> 00:34:08.260
 from them

00:34:08.260 --> 00:34:09.260
 and it

00:34:09.260 --> 00:34:10.039
 is carried

00:34:10.039 --> 00:34:10.519
 away

00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:11.179
 out of

00:34:11.179 --> 00:34:11.599
 sight

00:34:11.599 --> 00:34:13.159
 so that

00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:15.000
 the people

00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:15.599
 can be

00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:16.440
 at one

00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:17.299
 with

00:34:17.299 --> 00:34:18.159
 God

00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:19.819
 so that

00:34:19.819 --> 00:34:20.159
 they can

00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:20.799
 get close

00:34:20.799 --> 00:34:21.299
 to him

00:34:21.299 --> 00:34:23.299
 and enjoy

00:34:23.299 --> 00:34:23.739
 him.

00:34:26.019 --> 00:34:26.819
 But the

00:34:26.819 --> 00:34:27.159
 problem

00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:27.679
 is

00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:29.759
 it was

00:34:29.759 --> 00:34:30.000
 never

00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:30.559
 fully

00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:31.779
 realised.

00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:33.739
 If we

00:34:33.739 --> 00:34:34.299
 read on

00:34:34.299 --> 00:34:34.719
 through the

00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:35.299
 story of

00:34:35.299 --> 00:34:35.759
 the Bible

00:34:35.759 --> 00:34:36.539
 they could

00:34:36.539 --> 00:34:37.380
 not really

00:34:37.380 --> 00:34:38.119
 get close

00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:38.719
 to God.

00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:39.619
 How could

00:34:39.619 --> 00:34:40.179
 they ever

00:34:40.179 --> 00:34:40.819
 get close

00:34:40.819 --> 00:34:41.199
 to this

00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:41.480
 God?

00:34:41.759 --> 00:34:42.299
 How could

00:34:42.299 --> 00:34:42.940
 God ever

00:34:42.940 --> 00:34:43.659
 be contained

00:34:43.659 --> 00:34:44.139
 in a

00:34:44.139 --> 00:34:44.559
 tent?

00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:46.880
 How could

00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:47.500
 a goat

00:34:47.500 --> 00:34:48.420
 literally

00:34:48.420 --> 00:34:49.519
 deal with

00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:50.179
 the people's

00:34:50.179 --> 00:34:50.420
 sins?

00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:51.480
 It was

00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:52.259
 impossible.

00:34:52.619 --> 00:34:53.179
 It never

00:34:53.179 --> 00:34:53.819
 worked.

00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:56.579
 But God

00:34:56.579 --> 00:34:57.079
 did it

00:34:57.079 --> 00:34:57.719
 all to

00:34:57.719 --> 00:34:58.699
 prepare for

00:34:58.699 --> 00:34:59.599
 one who

00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:00.360
 would come

00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:01.079
 and make

00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:01.759
 it all

00:35:01.759 --> 00:35:02.539
 truly

00:35:02.539 --> 00:35:03.299
 possible.

00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:05.579
 Remember

00:35:05.579 --> 00:35:06.539
 how John

00:35:06.539 --> 00:35:07.139
 put it in

00:35:07.139 --> 00:35:07.579
 John's

00:35:07.579 --> 00:35:07.920
 Gospel

00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:08.659
 chapter 1

00:35:08.659 --> 00:35:09.480
 verse 14?

00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:11.980
 when Christ

00:35:11.980 --> 00:35:12.639
 when Jesus

00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:13.139
 came

00:35:13.139 --> 00:35:14.059
 he said

00:35:14.059 --> 00:35:14.900
 the word

00:35:14.900 --> 00:35:16.539
 became

00:35:16.539 --> 00:35:17.039
 flesh.

00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:17.599
 The word

00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:18.059
 that's

00:35:18.059 --> 00:35:18.420
 God

00:35:18.420 --> 00:35:18.880
 became

00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:19.539
 flesh

00:35:19.539 --> 00:35:20.539
 and made

00:35:20.539 --> 00:35:21.539
 his dwelling

00:35:21.539 --> 00:35:22.820
 among us.

00:35:23.300 --> 00:35:23.599
 God

00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:24.300
 did

00:35:24.300 --> 00:35:25.740
 physically

00:35:25.740 --> 00:35:26.860
 move

00:35:26.860 --> 00:35:27.400
 into the

00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:27.740
 world

00:35:27.740 --> 00:35:28.199
 in the

00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:28.559
 person

00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:29.159
 of Jesus

00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:29.639
 Christ

00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:30.699
 no longer

00:35:30.699 --> 00:35:31.539
 in a

00:35:31.539 --> 00:35:31.940
 tent

00:35:31.940 --> 00:35:32.659
 but as

00:35:32.659 --> 00:35:33.500
 a person.

00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:34.920
 God

00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:35.500
 came to

00:35:35.500 --> 00:35:35.800
 live

00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:36.300
 amongst

00:35:36.300 --> 00:35:36.600
 this

00:35:36.600 --> 00:35:36.960
 world

00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:37.860
 and

00:35:37.860 --> 00:35:38.100
 he

00:35:38.100 --> 00:35:38.480
 became

00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:38.820
 known

00:35:38.820 --> 00:35:39.060
 as

00:35:39.060 --> 00:35:39.340
 one

00:35:39.340 --> 00:35:39.640
 who

00:35:39.640 --> 00:35:40.340
 ate

00:35:40.340 --> 00:35:40.860
 with

00:35:40.860 --> 00:35:41.260
 sinners.

00:35:41.940 --> 00:35:42.039
 He

00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:42.420
 came

00:35:42.420 --> 00:35:42.620
 to

00:35:42.620 --> 00:35:42.800
 the

00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:43.200
 broken.

00:35:43.560 --> 00:35:43.660
 He

00:35:43.660 --> 00:35:44.019
 came

00:35:44.019 --> 00:35:44.220
 to

00:35:44.220 --> 00:35:44.400
 the

00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:44.880
 failures.

00:35:45.200 --> 00:35:45.280
 He

00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:45.560
 came

00:35:45.560 --> 00:35:45.740
 to

00:35:45.740 --> 00:35:45.920
 the

00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:46.320
 screwed

00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:46.620
 up

00:35:46.620 --> 00:35:46.760
 and

00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:46.920
 the

00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:47.220
 messed

00:35:47.220 --> 00:35:47.440
 up.

00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:47.880
 He

00:35:47.880 --> 00:35:48.560
 moved

00:35:48.560 --> 00:35:49.580
 into

00:35:49.580 --> 00:35:50.820
 and

00:35:50.820 --> 00:35:51.240
 lived

00:35:51.240 --> 00:35:52.060
 amongst

00:35:52.060 --> 00:35:52.960
 rebels

00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:53.760
 like

00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:54.000
 you

00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:54.140
 and

00:35:54.140 --> 00:35:54.400
 me.

00:35:56.380 --> 00:35:57.019
 But

00:35:57.019 --> 00:35:57.300
 more

00:35:57.300 --> 00:35:57.500
 than

00:35:57.500 --> 00:35:57.900
 that

00:35:57.900 --> 00:35:59.560
 he

00:35:59.560 --> 00:35:59.900
 came

00:35:59.900 --> 00:36:00.160
 into

00:36:00.160 --> 00:36:00.360
 the

00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:00.640
 world

00:36:00.640 --> 00:36:00.900
 to

00:36:00.900 --> 00:36:01.200
 deal

00:36:01.200 --> 00:36:01.420
 with

00:36:01.420 --> 00:36:01.640
 our

00:36:01.640 --> 00:36:02.260
 failures.

00:36:03.500 --> 00:36:03.880
 No

00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:04.400
 longer

00:36:04.400 --> 00:36:05.700
 symbolically

00:36:05.699 --> 00:36:06.899
 but

00:36:06.899 --> 00:36:07.079
 in

00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:07.619
 faith

00:36:07.619 --> 00:36:07.939
 we

00:36:07.939 --> 00:36:08.279
 now

00:36:08.279 --> 00:36:08.539
 look

00:36:08.539 --> 00:36:08.759
 to

00:36:08.759 --> 00:36:09.159
 Jesus

00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:09.819
 and

00:36:09.819 --> 00:36:10.039
 as

00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:10.179
 it

00:36:10.179 --> 00:36:10.379
 were

00:36:10.379 --> 00:36:10.659
 we

00:36:10.659 --> 00:36:11.139
 place

00:36:11.139 --> 00:36:11.359
 our

00:36:11.359 --> 00:36:11.859
 hands

00:36:11.859 --> 00:36:12.119
 on

00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:12.299
 the

00:36:12.299 --> 00:36:12.539
 head

00:36:12.539 --> 00:36:12.739
 of

00:36:12.739 --> 00:36:13.179
 Jesus

00:36:13.179 --> 00:36:14.859
 and

00:36:14.859 --> 00:36:15.179
 our

00:36:15.179 --> 00:36:15.739
 sins

00:36:15.739 --> 00:36:16.259
 are

00:36:16.259 --> 00:36:17.019
 literally

00:36:17.019 --> 00:36:19.039
 transferred

00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:19.779
 from

00:36:19.779 --> 00:36:20.259
 us

00:36:20.259 --> 00:36:20.939
 to

00:36:20.939 --> 00:36:21.460
 Jesus

00:36:21.460 --> 00:36:22.099
 and

00:36:22.099 --> 00:36:22.519
 Jesus

00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:23.239
 carries

00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:23.759
 our

00:36:23.759 --> 00:36:24.219
 sins

00:36:24.219 --> 00:36:24.899
 all

00:36:24.899 --> 00:36:25.079
 of

00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:25.359
 them

00:36:25.359 --> 00:36:26.559
 to

00:36:26.559 --> 00:36:26.839
 the

00:36:26.839 --> 00:36:27.319
 cross

00:36:27.319 --> 00:36:29.199
 and

00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:29.699
 pays

00:36:29.699 --> 00:36:29.960
 the

00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:30.319
 debt

00:36:30.319 --> 00:36:31.219
 that

00:36:31.219 --> 00:36:31.679
 deserves

00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:31.879
 to

00:36:31.879 --> 00:36:32.059
 be

00:36:32.059 --> 00:36:32.419
 paid

00:36:32.419 --> 00:36:32.960
 so

00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:33.179
 that

00:36:33.179 --> 00:36:33.539
 people

00:36:33.539 --> 00:36:33.859
 like

00:36:33.859 --> 00:36:34.099
 you

00:36:34.099 --> 00:36:34.279
 and

00:36:34.279 --> 00:36:34.500
 me

00:36:34.500 --> 00:36:34.759
 can

00:36:34.759 --> 00:36:34.939
 be

00:36:34.939 --> 00:36:35.119
 at

00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:35.480
 one

00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:36.179
 with

00:36:36.179 --> 00:36:36.880
 God

00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:38.579
 as

00:36:38.579 --> 00:36:39.139
 far

00:36:39.139 --> 00:36:39.440
 as

00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:39.639
 the

00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:40.019
 east

00:36:40.019 --> 00:36:40.260
 is

00:36:40.260 --> 00:36:40.460
 from

00:36:40.460 --> 00:36:40.659
 the

00:36:40.659 --> 00:36:41.099
 west

00:36:41.099 --> 00:36:42.980
 so

00:36:42.980 --> 00:36:43.420
 far

00:36:43.420 --> 00:36:43.619
 as

00:36:43.619 --> 00:36:43.780
 he

00:36:43.780 --> 00:36:44.639
 removed

00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:44.900
 our

00:36:44.900 --> 00:36:45.740
 transgressions

00:36:45.740 --> 00:36:46.019
 from

00:36:46.019 --> 00:36:46.260
 us

00:36:46.260 --> 00:36:46.920
 never

00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:47.159
 to

00:36:47.159 --> 00:36:47.340
 be

00:36:47.340 --> 00:36:47.800
 remembered

00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:48.320
 again

00:36:48.320 --> 00:36:49.639
 taken

00:36:49.639 --> 00:36:50.099
 away

00:36:50.099 --> 00:36:51.599
 so

00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:51.840
 that

00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:52.119
 we

00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:52.380
 can

00:36:52.380 --> 00:36:52.820
 be

00:36:52.820 --> 00:36:53.440
 at

00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:54.039
 one

00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:54.820
 with

00:36:54.820 --> 00:36:55.800
 God

00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:59.360
 but

00:36:59.360 --> 00:36:59.659
 that's

00:36:59.659 --> 00:36:59.840
 not

00:36:59.840 --> 00:37:00.059
 the

00:37:00.059 --> 00:37:00.480
 end

00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:02.059
 not

00:37:02.059 --> 00:37:02.300
 only

00:37:02.300 --> 00:37:02.539
 does

00:37:02.539 --> 00:37:02.659
 he
