00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:07.679
 This morning we're going to look at an important topic, namely, who is this Jesus?

00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:16.920
 You may remember that Jesus calmed the storm in Matthew chapter 8, 27.

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:21.059
 As a result of that, the disciples asked,

00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:27.480
 What sort of a man is this that even the wind and sea obey him?

00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:33.179
 They know that he's a teacher, and a teacher can do lots of things.

00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:40.359
 I have been a teacher for 40 years, and I can do lots of things.

00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:45.780
 But when you get your degree, they don't give you authority to calm the sea.

00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:50.640
 If you want to come with me, we'll go after the service, we'll go to the lake,

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:57.439
 and I'll command the lake to be still, and you'll quickly see how silly I am.

00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:02.779
 So, Jesus is a teacher. He's the rabbi.

00:01:03.179 --> 00:01:05.340
 But he must be more than a rabbi.

00:01:06.299 --> 00:01:12.159
 So, what kind of a person is this that even the wind and the sea obey him?

00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:13.719
 They're asking themselves.

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:17.120
 Well, they are going to get a final exam,

00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:21.240
 because Jesus is going to ask them at the Mount of Transfiguration,

00:01:21.859 --> 00:01:23.420
 Who do people say I am?

00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:27.719
 And then he turns and asks that sticky question,

00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:29.820
 Who do you say I am?

00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:33.120
 Well, I mean, one answer is, we don't know.

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:34.080
 That's what we're asking.

00:01:34.420 --> 00:01:36.480
 We've been asking ourselves for eight chapters.

00:01:36.860 --> 00:01:37.900
 Who are you?

00:01:37.900 --> 00:01:42.080
 They haven't gotten to that point yet.

00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:42.940
 They're in the middle.

00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:49.440
 They're between, what kind of a man is this that even the wind obey him,

00:01:49.800 --> 00:01:53.400
 and the point, you are the Christ, the son of the living God.

00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:59.160
 They are transitioning in their understanding and grasp of who Jesus is.

00:01:59.980 --> 00:02:04.320
 So, in chapter 12, we have three wonderful answers.

00:02:05.080 --> 00:02:09.300
 So, I thought I would begin by asking you this.

00:02:09.900 --> 00:02:10.159
 Okay?

00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:11.800
 Don't write anything.

00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:12.879
 Just keep it in your mind.

00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:26.539
 Number two, I want you to think of a very famous Hollywood actor.

00:02:29.019 --> 00:02:34.300
 Number three, I want you to think of a famous governor of California.

00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:41.259
 And the answer is Arnold Schwarzenegger.

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:44.400
 So, who is he?

00:02:45.379 --> 00:02:48.060
 Is he a bodybuilder, as in his youth?

00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:52.199
 Is he the Hollywood actor?

00:02:53.620 --> 00:02:55.719
 Or is he the governor of California?

00:02:56.379 --> 00:02:59.359
 Or is he the failed TV personality?

00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:03.639
 There is no simple answer to that.

00:03:04.099 --> 00:03:07.620
 If you just choose one answer, you're not getting the whole picture.

00:03:07.620 --> 00:03:12.120
 You need to see all these things to understand

00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:13.879
 who Schwarzenegger is.

00:03:14.460 --> 00:03:16.180
 The same is true of Jesus.

00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:19.159
 One answer is not enough.

00:03:19.620 --> 00:03:23.280
 It does not give you a rounded picture of Jesus.

00:03:24.219 --> 00:03:25.560
 So, what happens in

00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.439
 Matthew, chapter 12,

00:03:29.020 --> 00:03:31.680
 is that we have a phrase

00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.140
 that is repeated three times.

00:03:34.139 --> 00:03:41.059
 That phrase is someone greater than X, Y, or Z is here.

00:03:41.959 --> 00:03:45.299
 So, let's look up those three verses

00:03:45.299 --> 00:03:48.439
 and figure out what Jesus,

00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:50.019
 this is Jesus speaking,

00:03:50.659 --> 00:03:52.879
 figure out what Jesus think he is.

00:03:53.339 --> 00:03:54.979
 If anybody knows who Jesus is,

00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:56.439
 you assume that Jesus knows.

00:03:56.939 --> 00:03:57.719
 And he does.

00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:01.120
 And so, we have first of all,

00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:02.319
 in verse 6,

00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.240
 someone greater than the temple

00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:06.680
 is here.

00:04:09.300 --> 00:04:11.280
 In verse 41,

00:04:12.060 --> 00:04:14.599
 someone greater than Jonah

00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:16.160
 is here.

00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:18.920
 And in the next verse,

00:04:19.980 --> 00:04:21.959
 someone greater than Solomon

00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:23.480
 is here.

00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:25.920
 temple,

00:04:27.080 --> 00:04:27.500
 Jonah,

00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:28.840
 Solomon.

00:04:29.740 --> 00:04:32.200
 Jesus is referring to the Old Testament.

00:04:32.860 --> 00:04:34.420
 The Old Testament is three times

00:04:34.420 --> 00:04:35.640
 the size of the New Testament.

00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:38.160
 There are thousands of verses.

00:04:39.020 --> 00:04:41.080
 Of all the things to refer to,

00:04:41.220 --> 00:04:43.020
 why does he refer to these three

00:04:43.020 --> 00:04:44.900
 rather than some other three?

00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:46.879
 David,

00:04:48.080 --> 00:04:48.600
 Isaiah,

00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:50.379
 Jehoiakim.

00:04:50.379 --> 00:04:53.560
 Why does he refer to temple,

00:04:54.180 --> 00:04:54.519
 Jonah,

00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:55.339
 and Solomon?

00:04:56.139 --> 00:04:57.459
 For the simple reason,

00:04:58.540 --> 00:05:00.740
 Solomon was a king,

00:05:02.459 --> 00:05:04.480
 Jonah was a prophet,

00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:07.920
 and the temple is where the priests

00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:09.120
 ministered.

00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.779
 You have prophet,

00:05:12.459 --> 00:05:12.920
 priest,

00:05:13.500 --> 00:05:13.899
 king.

00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:19.319
 In Deuteronomy 17,

00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:21.839
 God wants to establish

00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:22.819
 his own kingdom.

00:05:23.719 --> 00:05:25.459
 But he doesn't want his kingdom

00:05:25.459 --> 00:05:26.779
 to be just like any other

00:05:26.779 --> 00:05:27.599
 earthly kingdom.

00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:28.300
 You know,

00:05:28.379 --> 00:05:28.980
 the Egyptians,

00:05:29.180 --> 00:05:29.879
 the Babylonians,

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.480
 the Amorites,

00:05:31.620 --> 00:05:32.120
 et cetera, et cetera.

00:05:32.420 --> 00:05:33.659
 He wants his kingdom

00:05:33.659 --> 00:05:35.139
 to be unique and special,

00:05:35.539 --> 00:05:36.779
 to reflect him

00:05:36.779 --> 00:05:38.740
 as God

00:05:38.740 --> 00:05:39.939
 and Lord

00:05:39.939 --> 00:05:40.740
 over his kingdom.

00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:41.779
 A theocracy.

00:05:42.219 --> 00:05:43.319
 Not a monarchy,

00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:44.860
 but a theocracy.

00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:46.459
 The kingdom of God.

00:05:46.459 --> 00:05:48.139
 Not the kingdom of Solomon,

00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:49.659
 not the kingdom of David,

00:05:49.979 --> 00:05:51.120
 but the kingdom of God.

00:05:51.659 --> 00:05:51.859
 So,

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:52.799
 in order to

00:05:52.799 --> 00:05:54.699
 make it reflect him,

00:05:55.239 --> 00:05:56.299
 he institutes

00:05:56.299 --> 00:05:57.779
 three offices

00:05:57.779 --> 00:06:00.120
 or three organizations

00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.339
 or three institutions.

00:06:02.979 --> 00:06:04.599
 The priesthood,

00:06:05.699 --> 00:06:06.399
 the prophets,

00:06:06.919 --> 00:06:08.179
 and the kings.

00:06:08.180 --> 00:06:09.740
 So,

00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:11.180
 Deuteronomy talks about

00:06:11.180 --> 00:06:11.959
 prophet,

00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:13.040
 priest,

00:06:13.180 --> 00:06:13.800
 and king.

00:06:14.459 --> 00:06:15.800
 And what Jesus says

00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:16.860
 in Matthew 12,

00:06:17.400 --> 00:06:18.000
 that he,

00:06:18.180 --> 00:06:18.720
 that someone

00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:19.420
 is he.

00:06:19.980 --> 00:06:21.139
 He himself

00:06:21.139 --> 00:06:22.379
 is greater

00:06:22.379 --> 00:06:23.460
 than all the

00:06:23.460 --> 00:06:24.079
 Old Testament

00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:25.240
 prophets,

00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:27.220
 he is greater

00:06:27.220 --> 00:06:28.160
 than all the

00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:28.840
 Old Testament

00:06:28.840 --> 00:06:30.139
 priests,

00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:31.899
 and he is greater

00:06:31.899 --> 00:06:32.639
 than all the

00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:33.460
 Old Testament

00:06:33.460 --> 00:06:35.180
 kings.

00:06:35.180 --> 00:06:35.740
 Kings.

00:06:37.259 --> 00:06:38.459
 Someone greater

00:06:38.459 --> 00:06:38.879
 than.

00:06:39.980 --> 00:06:40.280
 So,

00:06:40.840 --> 00:06:41.180
 what,

00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:41.800
 to the,

00:06:41.860 --> 00:06:42.980
 to the question,

00:06:43.100 --> 00:06:43.879
 who is this Jesus?

00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:44.240
 Well,

00:06:44.660 --> 00:06:45.400
 he is lots of

00:06:45.400 --> 00:06:46.079
 other things,

00:06:46.259 --> 00:06:47.079
 but at least

00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:48.319
 he is prophet,

00:06:48.819 --> 00:06:49.120
 priest,

00:06:49.220 --> 00:06:49.780
 and king,

00:06:50.139 --> 00:06:50.879
 and the greatest

00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:51.220
 one,

00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:52.500
 the greatest prophet,

00:06:52.860 --> 00:06:53.600
 the greatest king,

00:06:54.139 --> 00:06:55.079
 the greatest

00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:56.139
 priest.

00:06:56.139 --> 00:06:56.199
 priest.

00:06:58.779 --> 00:06:59.919
 Let's take a look

00:06:59.919 --> 00:07:01.560
 at each one

00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:02.319
 of those three,

00:07:02.719 --> 00:07:03.319
 someone greater

00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:03.639
 than.

00:07:03.939 --> 00:07:04.659
 The first one

00:07:04.659 --> 00:07:05.180
 is someone

00:07:05.180 --> 00:07:06.000
 greater than

00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:07.979
 the temple

00:07:07.979 --> 00:07:08.479
 is here.

00:07:11.979 --> 00:07:12.560
 It's,

00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:13.159
 it's the Sabbath

00:07:13.159 --> 00:07:14.300
 and the priests,

00:07:14.500 --> 00:07:15.719
 and the disciples

00:07:15.719 --> 00:07:16.439
 are hungry,

00:07:16.860 --> 00:07:17.939
 so they are gleaming,

00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:19.579
 they're like harvesting,

00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:21.439
 and the Pharisees,

00:07:21.899 --> 00:07:22.879
 chapter 12,

00:07:23.019 --> 00:07:23.680
 as Mike said,

00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:24.979
 is filled

00:07:24.979 --> 00:07:25.819
 with tension,

00:07:26.139 --> 00:07:27.180
 it's filled

00:07:27.180 --> 00:07:28.060
 with conflict.

00:07:28.579 --> 00:07:30.339
 Jesus and the Pharisees

00:07:30.339 --> 00:07:31.439
 argue about everything,

00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:33.399
 and the first one

00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:34.319
 that comes up is,

00:07:35.180 --> 00:07:35.959
 why are you

00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:37.219
 disciples doing this?

00:07:37.259 --> 00:07:38.300
 Because it's not right.

00:07:40.060 --> 00:07:40.500
 And so,

00:07:40.599 --> 00:07:41.519
 Jesus responds

00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:42.159
 by saying,

00:07:42.659 --> 00:07:43.259
 look at what

00:07:43.259 --> 00:07:43.919
 David did,

00:07:44.459 --> 00:07:45.300
 and look at what

00:07:45.300 --> 00:07:46.919
 the priests did.

00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:49.959
 David ate

00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:51.979
 food

00:07:51.979 --> 00:07:52.759
 that was

00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:53.599
 consecrated

00:07:53.599 --> 00:07:54.599
 for the priests.

00:07:55.180 --> 00:07:55.360
 He,

00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:56.180
 David,

00:07:56.400 --> 00:07:57.100
 David himself,

00:07:57.220 --> 00:07:58.080
 is not a priest,

00:07:58.439 --> 00:07:59.660
 so he is eating

00:07:59.660 --> 00:08:00.920
 priestly food

00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:01.740
 even though

00:08:01.740 --> 00:08:02.460
 he shouldn't.

00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:04.420
 And you can say,

00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:04.540
 well,

00:08:04.580 --> 00:08:05.139
 that's wrong.

00:08:06.939 --> 00:08:07.780
 And the

00:08:07.780 --> 00:08:09.400
 priests work

00:08:09.400 --> 00:08:10.160
 on the Sabbath

00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:10.920
 in the temple,

00:08:11.379 --> 00:08:12.280
 and that's work.

00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:13.259
 And so,

00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:14.720
 they're wrong,

00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:15.020
 too.

00:08:15.420 --> 00:08:15.639
 So,

00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:16.900
 in a superficial

00:08:16.900 --> 00:08:18.400
 reading of this passage,

00:08:18.400 --> 00:08:19.600
 you will conclude

00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:20.939
 that David was wrong,

00:08:20.939 --> 00:08:21.680
 and the priests

00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:22.259
 were wrong.

00:08:22.620 --> 00:08:23.399
 But that's not

00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:24.300
 what's going on,

00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:25.379
 because Jesus

00:08:25.379 --> 00:08:26.699
 gives us an insight

00:08:26.699 --> 00:08:28.379
 to why it is not wrong.

00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:29.639
 And the insight

00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:30.319
 is from

00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:31.519
 Hosea 6.6,

00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:33.820
 I desire mercy,

00:08:34.259 --> 00:08:35.500
 not sacrifice.

00:08:36.460 --> 00:08:36.779
 So,

00:08:37.220 --> 00:08:38.700
 if David is hungry,

00:08:39.340 --> 00:08:40.480
 what is the

00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:41.360
 merciful thing

00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:42.159
 for the priest

00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:42.679
 to do?

00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:44.360
 Just say to him,

00:08:44.460 --> 00:08:45.039
 go hungry,

00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:46.360
 or to feed him.

00:08:46.939 --> 00:08:48.219
 If it is more

00:08:48.219 --> 00:08:48.719
 merciful

00:08:48.719 --> 00:08:50.360
 to feed him,

00:08:50.459 --> 00:08:51.360
 to give him food,

00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:52.819
 then Jesus

00:08:52.819 --> 00:08:53.939
 is also more

00:08:53.939 --> 00:08:55.139
 merciful by allowing

00:08:55.139 --> 00:08:55.779
 the disciples

00:08:55.779 --> 00:08:56.719
 to eat as well.

00:08:57.579 --> 00:08:58.339
 David is hungry

00:08:58.339 --> 00:08:58.959
 and he eats,

00:08:59.079 --> 00:09:00.059
 the disciples are hungry

00:09:00.059 --> 00:09:00.779
 and they eat.

00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:01.699
 It's a parallel

00:09:01.699 --> 00:09:02.360
 situation.

00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:05.620
 But what about

00:09:05.620 --> 00:09:06.599
 working on the

00:09:06.599 --> 00:09:06.839
 Sabbath?

00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:10.240
 The priests,

00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:11.740
 by giving David

00:09:11.740 --> 00:09:12.259
 food,

00:09:12.980 --> 00:09:13.319
 fulfill

00:09:13.319 --> 00:09:14.319
 his physical

00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:15.879
 needs.

00:09:16.959 --> 00:09:17.779
 They are meeting

00:09:17.779 --> 00:09:18.799
 his physical needs,

00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:19.219
 hunger.

00:09:20.339 --> 00:09:21.000
 But what about

00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:21.719
 working on the

00:09:21.719 --> 00:09:21.959
 Sabbath?

00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:24.279
 On the Sabbath,

00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:24.939
 well,

00:09:25.079 --> 00:09:26.019
 on every day

00:09:26.019 --> 00:09:26.719
 of the week,

00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:27.439
 they had to offer

00:09:27.439 --> 00:09:28.539
 certain sacrifices

00:09:28.539 --> 00:09:29.839
 to consecrate

00:09:29.839 --> 00:09:30.659
 the temple.

00:09:31.059 --> 00:09:31.799
 That is to say,

00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:32.699
 to keep the temple

00:09:32.699 --> 00:09:33.579
 holy so that it

00:09:33.579 --> 00:09:34.299
 could be a place

00:09:34.299 --> 00:09:35.079
 of worship.

00:09:35.539 --> 00:09:36.279
 On the Sabbath,

00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:37.319
 they offered

00:09:37.319 --> 00:09:38.059
 all the ones

00:09:38.059 --> 00:09:38.819
 that they normally

00:09:38.819 --> 00:09:39.779
 offer every day,

00:09:39.959 --> 00:09:41.199
 plus two more

00:09:41.199 --> 00:09:41.719
 lambs.

00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:43.559
 And furthermore,

00:09:43.839 --> 00:09:44.819
 they needed to bake

00:09:44.820 --> 00:09:45.440
 the bread,

00:09:46.160 --> 00:09:46.820
 take away the

00:09:46.820 --> 00:09:47.420
 old bread,

00:09:48.560 --> 00:09:49.460
 bake the new bread,

00:09:49.660 --> 00:09:50.420
 and present it to

00:09:50.420 --> 00:09:50.760
 God.

00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:52.440
 And if a child

00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:54.180
 needed to be

00:09:54.180 --> 00:09:54.860
 circumcised,

00:09:55.040 --> 00:09:56.200
 he would need to

00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:57.320
 be circumcised too

00:09:57.320 --> 00:09:58.180
 on the Sabbath.

00:09:58.660 --> 00:09:59.340
 They had to do

00:09:59.340 --> 00:10:00.120
 all this work.

00:10:01.660 --> 00:10:02.900
 Why isn't that

00:10:02.900 --> 00:10:03.480
 allowed?

00:10:03.940 --> 00:10:04.620
 Why is that

00:10:04.620 --> 00:10:04.980
 allowed?

00:10:06.560 --> 00:10:07.520
 Because by

00:10:07.520 --> 00:10:08.660
 consecrating the

00:10:08.660 --> 00:10:09.080
 temple,

00:10:09.640 --> 00:10:10.640
 they make it

00:10:10.640 --> 00:10:11.900
 possible for people

00:10:11.899 --> 00:10:12.860
 to come to God

00:10:12.860 --> 00:10:14.120
 and receive

00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:15.480
 forgiveness of sins.

00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:17.100
 So the person

00:10:17.100 --> 00:10:17.579
 would say,

00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:18.319
 I'm a sinner,

00:10:18.500 --> 00:10:19.480
 I have disobeyed you,

00:10:19.539 --> 00:10:19.919
 O Lord,

00:10:20.259 --> 00:10:21.340
 please forgive me.

00:10:22.059 --> 00:10:23.159
 And the

00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:24.519
 priest,

00:10:24.779 --> 00:10:25.620
 as mediators

00:10:25.620 --> 00:10:26.480
 between God

00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:27.019
 and man,

00:10:27.779 --> 00:10:30.059
 serve in such

00:10:30.059 --> 00:10:30.559
 a way that

00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:31.419
 he can receive

00:10:31.419 --> 00:10:32.779
 God's forgiveness.

00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:34.259
 Food

00:10:34.259 --> 00:10:36.519
 meets our

00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:37.620
 physical needs.

00:10:37.620 --> 00:10:39.240
 forgiveness

00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:40.740
 meets our

00:10:40.740 --> 00:10:41.120
 what?

00:10:41.860 --> 00:10:42.539
 Spiritual

00:10:42.539 --> 00:10:43.580
 needs.

00:10:44.340 --> 00:10:45.279
 So the

00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:46.120
 priests are

00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:47.560
 acting in a

00:10:47.560 --> 00:10:48.440
 merciful way,

00:10:49.019 --> 00:10:50.120
 both in terms

00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:51.019
 of basic

00:10:51.019 --> 00:10:52.019
 physical needs

00:10:52.019 --> 00:10:52.779
 and,

00:10:53.340 --> 00:10:53.639
 much more

00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:54.279
 important,

00:10:55.019 --> 00:10:55.480
 spiritual

00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:56.019
 needs.

00:10:57.320 --> 00:10:58.200
 They are

00:10:58.200 --> 00:10:59.139
 showing

00:10:59.139 --> 00:10:59.820
 mercy

00:10:59.820 --> 00:11:00.899
 in both

00:11:00.899 --> 00:11:01.519
 areas.

00:11:02.340 --> 00:11:02.799
 And what

00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:03.259
 does God

00:11:03.259 --> 00:11:03.600
 want?

00:11:04.180 --> 00:11:05.299
 God wants

00:11:05.299 --> 00:11:05.879
 mercy.

00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:05.919
 mercy.

00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:07.799
 I want you

00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:08.200
 to really

00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:09.039
 understand that

00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:09.939
 God wants

00:11:09.939 --> 00:11:10.399
 mercy.

00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:12.039
 I want to

00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:13.419
 develop this

00:11:13.419 --> 00:11:14.000
 point some

00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:14.320
 more.

00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:16.039
 There's a very

00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:16.820
 important thing

00:11:16.820 --> 00:11:17.419
 that was going

00:11:17.419 --> 00:11:17.860
 on in

00:11:17.860 --> 00:11:18.259
 rabbinic

00:11:18.259 --> 00:11:18.720
 Judaism.

00:11:20.139 --> 00:11:20.899
 What's going

00:11:20.899 --> 00:11:21.620
 on is this.

00:11:21.980 --> 00:11:22.379
 In the

00:11:22.379 --> 00:11:22.659
 Torah,

00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:23.100
 there are

00:11:23.100 --> 00:11:24.360
 613

00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:25.080
 commandments.

00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:26.799
 613.

00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:28.220
 So the

00:11:28.220 --> 00:11:28.679
 rabbis,

00:11:28.820 --> 00:11:29.220
 naturally,

00:11:29.419 --> 00:11:29.899
 since they have

00:11:29.899 --> 00:11:30.399
 nothing else

00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:30.759
 to do,

00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:31.960
 ask themselves,

00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:33.120
 can we

00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:33.840
 list those

00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:35.160
 613

00:11:35.160 --> 00:11:37.320
 in order?

00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:38.820
 From the

00:11:38.820 --> 00:11:40.060
 lowest to

00:11:40.060 --> 00:11:40.720
 the highest.

00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:41.820
 From the

00:11:41.820 --> 00:11:42.700
 least important

00:11:42.700 --> 00:11:43.600
 to the

00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:44.460
 most important.

00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:46.420
 The least

00:11:46.420 --> 00:11:47.340
 important are

00:11:47.340 --> 00:11:48.000
 called the

00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:48.519
 lighter,

00:11:49.379 --> 00:11:49.800
 and the

00:11:49.800 --> 00:11:50.519
 most important

00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:51.040
 are called

00:11:51.040 --> 00:11:52.060
 the weightier,

00:11:52.460 --> 00:11:53.139
 and they

00:11:53.139 --> 00:11:54.160
 went at it

00:11:54.160 --> 00:11:54.899
 and did it.

00:11:56.139 --> 00:11:57.100
 The least

00:11:57.100 --> 00:11:57.639
 important

00:11:57.639 --> 00:11:58.300
 commandment

00:11:58.300 --> 00:11:58.840
 is this,

00:11:58.920 --> 00:12:00.120
 number 613,

00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:00.840
 at the bottom,

00:12:01.160 --> 00:12:01.500
 the very

00:12:01.500 --> 00:12:01.800
 bottom.

00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:02.859
 If you're

00:12:02.859 --> 00:12:03.379
 walking in

00:12:03.379 --> 00:12:03.919
 the forest,

00:12:04.319 --> 00:12:04.799
 and you

00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:05.819
 see a

00:12:05.819 --> 00:12:06.519
 small bird

00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:07.079
 that has

00:12:07.079 --> 00:12:07.639
 fallen from

00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:08.259
 its mother's

00:12:08.259 --> 00:12:08.579
 nest,

00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:09.399
 pick up

00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:09.779
 the bird,

00:12:10.259 --> 00:12:10.699
 climb the

00:12:10.699 --> 00:12:10.859
 tree,

00:12:10.979 --> 00:12:11.259
 put it

00:12:11.259 --> 00:12:11.740
 back in

00:12:11.740 --> 00:12:12.000
 its

00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:12.899
 mother's

00:12:12.899 --> 00:12:13.179
 nest.

00:12:14.379 --> 00:12:14.919
 That's

00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:15.139
 number

00:12:15.139 --> 00:12:16.059
 613.

00:12:17.339 --> 00:12:17.659
 You know

00:12:17.659 --> 00:12:18.339
 what number

00:12:18.339 --> 00:12:19.559
 612 is?

00:12:20.379 --> 00:12:21.059
 If you

00:12:21.059 --> 00:12:21.599
 climb to

00:12:21.599 --> 00:12:21.979
 the nest

00:12:21.979 --> 00:12:22.299
 and you

00:12:22.299 --> 00:12:22.740
 see lots

00:12:22.740 --> 00:12:23.299
 of eggs,

00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:24.539
 don't take

00:12:24.539 --> 00:12:25.199
 all the

00:12:25.199 --> 00:12:25.779
 eggs and

00:12:25.779 --> 00:12:26.019
 say,

00:12:26.379 --> 00:12:26.799
 God is

00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:27.019
 going to

00:12:27.019 --> 00:12:27.479
 give us

00:12:27.479 --> 00:12:28.539
 omelette

00:12:28.539 --> 00:12:29.679
 for breakfast.

00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:31.199
 don't take

00:12:31.199 --> 00:12:31.699
 all the

00:12:31.699 --> 00:12:31.979
 eggs,

00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:32.620
 leave some

00:12:32.620 --> 00:12:32.979
 for the

00:12:32.979 --> 00:12:33.419
 future,

00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:34.699
 so that

00:12:34.699 --> 00:12:35.179
 at least

00:12:35.179 --> 00:12:36.639
 that family

00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:37.059
 doesn't

00:12:37.059 --> 00:12:37.879
 become extinct.

00:12:39.239 --> 00:12:40.039
 So that's

00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:40.759
 612.

00:12:41.839 --> 00:12:42.859
 What are

00:12:42.859 --> 00:12:43.359
 the top?

00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:44.719
 Well,

00:12:44.779 --> 00:12:45.259
 usually when

00:12:45.259 --> 00:12:46.120
 rabbis discuss

00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:46.639
 these things,

00:12:46.739 --> 00:12:47.199
 I find it

00:12:47.199 --> 00:12:47.719
 historically

00:12:47.719 --> 00:12:48.239
 interesting,

00:12:48.939 --> 00:12:50.059
 but I

00:12:50.059 --> 00:12:50.659
 don't make

00:12:50.659 --> 00:12:51.359
 any spiritual

00:12:51.359 --> 00:12:51.859
 commitment

00:12:51.859 --> 00:12:52.859
 to what

00:12:52.859 --> 00:12:53.279
 rabbis

00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:53.779
 decide,

00:12:54.539 --> 00:12:55.500
 except in

00:12:55.500 --> 00:12:56.199
 this case,

00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.300
 Jesus also

00:12:58.300 --> 00:12:59.160
 is involved

00:12:59.160 --> 00:12:59.640
 in this

00:12:59.640 --> 00:13:00.259
 discussion.

00:13:01.280 --> 00:13:01.800
 And that

00:13:01.800 --> 00:13:02.740
 discussion is

00:13:02.740 --> 00:13:03.520
 in Matthew

00:13:03.520 --> 00:13:04.460
 23,

00:13:04.800 --> 00:13:05.500
 23.

00:13:06.180 --> 00:13:06.879
 Matthew

00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:07.740
 23,

00:13:08.220 --> 00:13:08.920
 23.

00:13:12.680 --> 00:13:13.480
 Remember,

00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:14.600
 lighter

00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:15.940
 means the

00:13:15.940 --> 00:13:16.420
 bottom of

00:13:16.420 --> 00:13:16.879
 the list,

00:13:17.640 --> 00:13:17.940
 heavier

00:13:17.940 --> 00:13:19.460
 means the

00:13:19.460 --> 00:13:19.840
 top of

00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:20.240
 the list.

00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:21.540
 So here

00:13:21.540 --> 00:13:22.640
 Jesus gives

00:13:22.640 --> 00:13:23.240
 us his

00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:24.700
 answer to

00:13:24.700 --> 00:13:25.920
 what are

00:13:25.920 --> 00:13:26.340
 the really

00:13:26.340 --> 00:13:26.840
 important

00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:27.300
 commandments.

00:13:28.300 --> 00:13:28.780
 So in

00:13:28.780 --> 00:13:29.060
 Matthew

00:13:29.060 --> 00:13:29.720
 23,

00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:30.340
 23,

00:13:30.920 --> 00:13:31.580
 Jesus says,

00:13:32.140 --> 00:13:32.540
 Woe to

00:13:32.540 --> 00:13:32.780
 you,

00:13:33.259 --> 00:13:33.820
 teachers of

00:13:33.820 --> 00:13:34.180
 the law

00:13:34.180 --> 00:13:35.020
 and Pharisees,

00:13:35.140 --> 00:13:35.820
 you hypocrites,

00:13:36.520 --> 00:13:37.340
 you tithe,

00:13:37.800 --> 00:13:38.300
 you give

00:13:38.300 --> 00:13:38.879
 a tenth

00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:39.440
 of your

00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:40.200
 spices,

00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:41.420
 mint,

00:13:41.820 --> 00:13:42.040
 dill,

00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:42.700
 and cumin,

00:13:43.500 --> 00:13:44.140
 but you

00:13:44.140 --> 00:13:45.060
 have neglected

00:13:45.060 --> 00:13:46.440
 the weightier

00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:47.300
 matters of

00:13:47.300 --> 00:13:47.759
 the law,

00:13:49.100 --> 00:13:49.940
 justice,

00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:51.580
 mercy,

00:13:52.220 --> 00:13:53.520
 and faithfulness.

00:13:54.700 --> 00:13:56.480
 Not

00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:57.960
 paying taxes,

00:13:58.800 --> 00:13:59.300
 mowing the

00:13:59.300 --> 00:13:59.700
 lawn,

00:14:00.220 --> 00:14:00.580
 changing

00:14:00.580 --> 00:14:01.200
 clothes.

00:14:02.340 --> 00:14:02.940
 Justice,

00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:04.320
 mercy,

00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:06.340
 and faithfulness.

00:14:06.420 --> 00:14:06.940
 What's in the

00:14:06.940 --> 00:14:07.500
 middle of those

00:14:07.500 --> 00:14:07.940
 three?

00:14:08.980 --> 00:14:09.480
 Mercy.

00:14:10.540 --> 00:14:11.920
 Mercy is

00:14:11.920 --> 00:14:12.520
 what Jesus

00:14:12.520 --> 00:14:13.780
 considers at

00:14:13.780 --> 00:14:14.820
 the top of

00:14:14.820 --> 00:14:15.420
 the list.

00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:17.759
 Where is he

00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:18.379
 quoting from?

00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:19.860
 He is

00:14:19.860 --> 00:14:20.600
 quoting from

00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:21.280
 Micah,

00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:23.559
 chapter 6,

00:14:24.319 --> 00:14:25.139
 verse 8.

00:14:28.139 --> 00:14:28.980
 Micah begins

00:14:28.980 --> 00:14:29.579
 by asking,

00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:30.279
 with what shall

00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:30.819
 I come before

00:14:30.819 --> 00:14:31.299
 the Lord?

00:14:31.959 --> 00:14:32.579
 And then he

00:14:32.579 --> 00:14:33.339
 comes with an

00:14:33.339 --> 00:14:33.659
 answer.

00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:34.480
 He has told

00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:34.679
 you,

00:14:34.819 --> 00:14:35.100
 O man,

00:14:35.339 --> 00:14:36.120
 what is good,

00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:37.000
 and what does

00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:37.279
 the Lord

00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:37.879
 require of

00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:38.039
 you?

00:14:39.319 --> 00:14:39.799
 Justice,

00:14:40.899 --> 00:14:41.299
 mercy,

00:14:41.779 --> 00:14:42.419
 and walking

00:14:42.419 --> 00:14:42.899
 with your

00:14:42.899 --> 00:14:43.240
 God.

00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:43.279
 God.

00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:46.840
 In

00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:47.899
 Matthew,

00:14:49.899 --> 00:14:50.860
 Hosea says,

00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:51.860
 God says,

00:14:52.060 --> 00:14:52.899
 I desire

00:14:52.899 --> 00:14:53.379
 mercy.

00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:54.539
 So God

00:14:54.539 --> 00:14:55.039
 desires

00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:55.480
 mercy.

00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:56.759
 In Micah,

00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:57.399
 it's slightly

00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:57.879
 different.

00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:00.799
 Micah is

00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:01.060
 asking,

00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:01.539
 what should

00:15:01.539 --> 00:15:02.080
 I do?

00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:02.720
 And the

00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:03.139
 answer is,

00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:04.000
 he has

00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:04.460
 showed you,

00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:04.919
 O man,

00:15:05.740 --> 00:15:06.340
 to do

00:15:06.340 --> 00:15:07.399
 justice,

00:15:07.899 --> 00:15:08.480
 to do

00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:09.180
 mercy,

00:15:09.379 --> 00:15:09.820
 and to

00:15:09.820 --> 00:15:10.120
 walk.

00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:11.279
 So God

00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:11.779
 desires

00:15:11.779 --> 00:15:12.220
 mercy,

00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:12.679
 and God

00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:13.519
 wants us

00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:14.860
 to desire

00:15:14.860 --> 00:15:15.299
 mercy.

00:15:15.899 --> 00:15:16.399
 Mercy is

00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:17.179
 important to

00:15:17.179 --> 00:15:17.480
 him,

00:15:17.779 --> 00:15:18.440
 and it is

00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:19.240
 important to

00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:19.539
 us.

00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:20.919
 And Jesus

00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:21.460
 says,

00:15:22.100 --> 00:15:22.860
 the priests

00:15:22.860 --> 00:15:24.480
 are serving

00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:25.419
 with mercy.

00:15:26.179 --> 00:15:26.679
 They are

00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:27.340
 taking care

00:15:27.340 --> 00:15:28.039
 of physical

00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:28.460
 needs,

00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:29.320
 they are

00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:29.980
 taking care

00:15:29.980 --> 00:15:30.740
 of spiritual

00:15:30.740 --> 00:15:31.259
 needs.

00:15:33.659 --> 00:15:34.799
 But the

00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:35.600
 statement is,

00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:37.039
 someone greater

00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:37.519
 than the

00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:38.259
 temple is

00:15:38.259 --> 00:15:38.700
 here.

00:15:38.700 --> 00:15:41.940
 how is

00:15:41.940 --> 00:15:42.759
 Jesus greater

00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:43.220
 than the

00:15:43.220 --> 00:15:43.540
 temple?

00:15:44.620 --> 00:15:44.840
 Well,

00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:45.660
 in Israel,

00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:47.620
 in the

00:15:47.620 --> 00:15:48.180
 Old Testament,

00:15:48.420 --> 00:15:49.460
 Israel failed

00:15:49.460 --> 00:15:50.680
 to keep the

00:15:50.680 --> 00:15:50.960
 covenant.

00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:51.780
 They disobeyed

00:15:51.780 --> 00:15:52.080
 God,

00:15:52.220 --> 00:15:53.740
 they forsook

00:15:53.740 --> 00:15:54.000
 him,

00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:54.660
 they abandoned

00:15:54.660 --> 00:15:54.960
 him,

00:15:55.060 --> 00:15:55.480
 they pursued

00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:56.220
 other gods,

00:15:56.379 --> 00:15:57.840
 they broke

00:15:57.840 --> 00:15:58.180
 the Ten

00:15:58.180 --> 00:15:58.700
 Commandments

00:15:58.700 --> 00:15:59.360
 constantly,

00:16:00.259 --> 00:16:01.000
 and so God

00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:01.540
 sent them

00:16:01.540 --> 00:16:02.360
 to exile.

00:16:03.420 --> 00:16:04.240
 That was

00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:06.240
 the big

00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:07.020
 punch.

00:16:08.700 --> 00:16:10.060
 so they

00:16:10.060 --> 00:16:10.780
 ended up

00:16:10.780 --> 00:16:11.440
 in exile.

00:16:12.160 --> 00:16:13.020
 The reason

00:16:13.020 --> 00:16:13.500
 they ended

00:16:13.500 --> 00:16:14.280
 up in exile

00:16:14.280 --> 00:16:15.840
 is because

00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:16.360
 of their

00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:16.860
 sins.

00:16:17.500 --> 00:16:17.780
 In

00:16:17.780 --> 00:16:18.520
 relationship

00:16:18.520 --> 00:16:19.000
 to the

00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:19.360
 temple,

00:16:19.980 --> 00:16:20.980
 by sinning,

00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:21.879
 they could

00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:22.780
 sin in an

00:16:22.780 --> 00:16:23.740
 even very

00:16:23.740 --> 00:16:24.600
 specific way

00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:25.440
 in relationship

00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:26.000
 to the

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:27.140
 temple itself.

00:16:27.139 --> 00:16:28.799
 listen to

00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:29.159
 the words

00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:29.840
 of Jeremiah

00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:31.879
 711.

00:16:32.699 --> 00:16:33.460
 Has this

00:16:33.460 --> 00:16:34.039
 house,

00:16:34.580 --> 00:16:35.139
 which is

00:16:35.139 --> 00:16:35.980
 called by

00:16:35.980 --> 00:16:36.740
 my name,

00:16:37.419 --> 00:16:38.360
 become a

00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:39.360
 den of

00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:41.080
 robbers in

00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:41.620
 your sight?

00:16:42.299 --> 00:16:42.960
 You should

00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:43.639
 recognize the

00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:43.879
 words,

00:16:44.100 --> 00:16:44.600
 den of

00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:45.139
 robbers.

00:16:45.139 --> 00:16:45.279
 robbers.

00:16:47.059 --> 00:16:47.879
 They were

00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:48.639
 abusing

00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:49.419
 the temple

00:16:49.419 --> 00:16:50.860
 and making

00:16:50.860 --> 00:16:51.720
 it a place

00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:52.220
 where all

00:16:52.220 --> 00:16:52.539
 of these

00:16:52.539 --> 00:16:52.939
 criminals

00:16:52.939 --> 00:16:53.500
 hide.

00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:55.240
 So they

00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:55.500
 sin,

00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:55.960
 and they

00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:56.319
 hide in

00:16:56.319 --> 00:16:56.720
 the temple,

00:16:56.919 --> 00:16:57.279
 and everybody

00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:58.740
 would see

00:16:58.740 --> 00:16:59.080
 them in

00:16:59.080 --> 00:16:59.419
 the temple,

00:16:59.539 --> 00:16:59.740
 and they

00:16:59.740 --> 00:16:59.879
 say,

00:16:59.960 --> 00:17:00.080
 oh,

00:17:00.100 --> 00:17:00.259
 they're

00:17:00.259 --> 00:17:00.620
 religious

00:17:00.620 --> 00:17:01.139
 people,

00:17:01.139 --> 00:17:01.720
 how

00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:02.100
 wonderful.

00:17:03.620 --> 00:17:04.119
 You remember

00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:04.700
 when Jesus

00:17:04.700 --> 00:17:05.940
 cleansing the

00:17:05.940 --> 00:17:06.240
 temple,

00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:06.799
 he says,

00:17:07.339 --> 00:17:08.319
 my father's

00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:09.000
 house is

00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:09.819
 called as a

00:17:09.819 --> 00:17:10.319
 house of

00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:10.700
 prayer,

00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:12.039
 but you

00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:12.740
 have made

00:17:12.740 --> 00:17:13.480
 it a den

00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:14.420
 of robbers.

00:17:15.140 --> 00:17:17.840
 the temple

00:17:17.840 --> 00:17:18.560
 can be

00:17:18.560 --> 00:17:19.180
 abused.

00:17:20.980 --> 00:17:21.540
 Secondly,

00:17:22.580 --> 00:17:23.420
 the enemy

00:17:23.420 --> 00:17:24.780
 can destroy

00:17:24.780 --> 00:17:25.120
 it,

00:17:25.700 --> 00:17:26.500
 and indeed

00:17:26.500 --> 00:17:27.900
 in 586,

00:17:28.020 --> 00:17:28.780
 the Babylonians

00:17:28.780 --> 00:17:29.720
 invaded Jerusalem

00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:32.300
 and captured

00:17:32.300 --> 00:17:33.100
 it and

00:17:33.100 --> 00:17:33.800
 destroyed the

00:17:33.800 --> 00:17:34.080
 temple,

00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:35.360
 and so when

00:17:35.360 --> 00:17:36.000
 they came back

00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:36.640
 from captivity,

00:17:36.840 --> 00:17:37.200
 they needed

00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:37.800
 to rebuild

00:17:37.800 --> 00:17:38.840
 the temple.

00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:40.180
 In 70

00:17:40.180 --> 00:17:40.540
 AD,

00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:41.320
 the Romans

00:17:41.320 --> 00:17:42.840
 destroyed the

00:17:42.840 --> 00:17:43.120
 temple,

00:17:43.700 --> 00:17:44.840
 so people

00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:46.259
 can abuse

00:17:46.259 --> 00:17:46.559
 it,

00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:48.359
 our enemies

00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:49.679
 can destroy

00:17:49.679 --> 00:17:50.000
 it,

00:17:50.439 --> 00:17:51.220
 but what

00:17:51.220 --> 00:17:52.079
 is worse

00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:52.579
 is what

00:17:52.579 --> 00:17:53.279
 happened in

00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:53.879
 Ezekiel.

00:17:54.879 --> 00:17:55.980
 Ezekiel has

00:17:55.980 --> 00:17:56.639
 a vision

00:17:56.639 --> 00:17:58.000
 in which God

00:17:58.000 --> 00:17:59.139
 abandons the

00:17:59.139 --> 00:17:59.480
 temple.

00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:01.000
 The glory of

00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:02.500
 God moves

00:18:02.500 --> 00:18:02.839
 up,

00:18:03.299 --> 00:18:04.139
 moves out of

00:18:04.139 --> 00:18:04.659
 the temple,

00:18:05.220 --> 00:18:05.759
 out of the

00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:06.079
 city,

00:18:06.539 --> 00:18:07.079
 out of the

00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:07.439
 country,

00:18:07.439 --> 00:18:08.419
 and goes

00:18:08.419 --> 00:18:08.720
 away.

00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:09.980
 So,

00:18:10.299 --> 00:18:11.440
 the underlying

00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:13.579
 imagery in

00:18:13.579 --> 00:18:14.600
 Ezekiel is

00:18:14.600 --> 00:18:15.960
 the departure

00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:17.000
 of the glory

00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:17.660
 of God.

00:18:17.980 --> 00:18:18.720
 God has

00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:19.579
 abandoned us.

00:18:20.180 --> 00:18:20.620
 Will he

00:18:20.620 --> 00:18:22.400
 ever come

00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:22.779
 back?

00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:23.819
 So,

00:18:24.019 --> 00:18:25.279
 people can

00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:26.000
 abuse it,

00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:27.839
 enemies can

00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:28.519
 destroy it,

00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:30.519
 and God

00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:31.240
 can abandon

00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:31.600
 it,

00:18:31.940 --> 00:18:32.539
 can abandon

00:18:32.539 --> 00:18:32.860
 it.

00:18:32.859 --> 00:18:34.959
 But even

00:18:34.959 --> 00:18:35.359
 when the

00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:35.859
 temple is

00:18:35.859 --> 00:18:36.439
 being used

00:18:36.439 --> 00:18:37.039
 correctly,

00:18:37.819 --> 00:18:38.419
 it has

00:18:38.419 --> 00:18:39.939
 limited access

00:18:39.939 --> 00:18:40.759
 to God.

00:18:42.059 --> 00:18:42.939
 The outer

00:18:42.939 --> 00:18:43.379
 court,

00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:44.859
 the holy

00:18:44.859 --> 00:18:45.299
 place,

00:18:45.439 --> 00:18:45.679
 and the

00:18:45.679 --> 00:18:46.199
 most holy

00:18:46.199 --> 00:18:46.619
 place.

00:18:47.500 --> 00:18:48.259
 God sat

00:18:48.259 --> 00:18:50.019
 enthroned on

00:18:50.019 --> 00:18:50.619
 his throne

00:18:50.619 --> 00:18:51.219
 above the

00:18:51.219 --> 00:18:51.719
 Ark of the

00:18:51.719 --> 00:18:52.019
 Covenant,

00:18:52.019 --> 00:18:52.119
 Testament.

00:18:52.819 --> 00:18:53.519
 But only

00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:54.379
 one person,

00:18:54.639 --> 00:18:55.619
 only once

00:18:55.619 --> 00:18:56.139
 a year,

00:18:57.779 --> 00:18:58.799
 could that

00:18:58.799 --> 00:18:59.539
 person come

00:18:59.539 --> 00:19:00.220
 before God.

00:19:00.420 --> 00:19:01.180
 Once a year,

00:19:01.779 --> 00:19:02.599
 one person,

00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:03.839
 out of a

00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:04.539
 population of

00:19:04.539 --> 00:19:04.879
 two and a

00:19:04.879 --> 00:19:05.359
 half million.

00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:08.559
 That's really

00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:09.740
 restricted access

00:19:09.740 --> 00:19:10.240
 to God.

00:19:10.619 --> 00:19:11.180
 What does

00:19:11.180 --> 00:19:11.920
 Jesus do?

00:19:12.619 --> 00:19:13.359
 He removes

00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:13.900
 all these

00:19:13.900 --> 00:19:14.500
 obstacles.

00:19:16.220 --> 00:19:17.220
 By dying

00:19:17.220 --> 00:19:17.599
 on the

00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:18.039
 cross,

00:19:18.819 --> 00:19:19.559
 he opens

00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:20.500
 a way for

00:19:20.500 --> 00:19:20.940
 us to

00:19:20.940 --> 00:19:21.299
 enter,

00:19:21.299 --> 00:19:22.720
 and that

00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:23.980
 is reflected

00:19:23.980 --> 00:19:24.519
 in the

00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:25.740
 tearing of

00:19:25.740 --> 00:19:26.279
 the curtain

00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:26.859
 from top

00:19:26.859 --> 00:19:27.359
 to bottom.

00:19:27.919 --> 00:19:28.279
 It is

00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:28.799
 saying no

00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:29.039
 more

00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:29.559
 restrictions,

00:19:29.819 --> 00:19:30.399
 everybody is

00:19:30.399 --> 00:19:30.680
 welcome,

00:19:30.819 --> 00:19:31.240
 come in.

00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:34.680
 The

00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:35.059
 temple

00:19:35.059 --> 00:19:35.599
 houses

00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:36.119
 God.

00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:37.500
 So what

00:19:37.500 --> 00:19:38.019
 happens when

00:19:38.019 --> 00:19:38.419
 the temple

00:19:38.419 --> 00:19:39.099
 is destroyed?

00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:40.940
 Where is

00:19:40.940 --> 00:19:41.700
 God now?

00:19:46.059 --> 00:19:46.839
 Where is

00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:47.399
 God now?

00:19:48.539 --> 00:19:48.859
 With

00:19:48.859 --> 00:19:49.359
 Jesus,

00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:50.079
 it is

00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:51.279
 Emmanuel.

00:19:51.299 --> 00:19:51.419
 Emmanuel.

00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:53.279
 Emmanuel.

00:19:53.819 --> 00:19:54.259
 What does

00:19:54.259 --> 00:19:55.059
 Emmanuel mean?

00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:56.460
 God is

00:19:56.460 --> 00:19:57.139
 with us.

00:19:57.579 --> 00:19:58.339
 Where is

00:19:58.339 --> 00:19:58.779
 God?

00:19:58.919 --> 00:19:59.440
 God is

00:19:59.440 --> 00:19:59.859
 with us.

00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:00.759
 Where with

00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:01.019
 us?

00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:02.099
 Here in

00:20:02.099 --> 00:20:02.399
 Jesus.

00:20:04.399 --> 00:20:05.399
 Jesus is

00:20:05.399 --> 00:20:06.039
 greater than

00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:06.480
 the temple

00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:07.519
 because he

00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:08.579
 is where

00:20:08.579 --> 00:20:09.319
 God is.

00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:11.899
 He is

00:20:11.899 --> 00:20:12.419
 where God

00:20:12.419 --> 00:20:12.759
 is.

00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:16.399
 Moving on

00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:16.740
 to the

00:20:16.740 --> 00:20:18.240
 no,

00:20:18.360 --> 00:20:18.860
 not moving

00:20:18.860 --> 00:20:19.120
 on,

00:20:19.320 --> 00:20:19.680
 still.

00:20:23.360 --> 00:20:23.759
 What

00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:24.380
 happens

00:20:24.380 --> 00:20:25.900
 if we

00:20:25.900 --> 00:20:27.060
 keep the

00:20:27.060 --> 00:20:27.320
 Sabbath

00:20:27.320 --> 00:20:27.980
 correctly?

00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:29.160
 That is,

00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:30.180
 if we do

00:20:30.180 --> 00:20:30.600
 on the

00:20:30.600 --> 00:20:31.200
 Sabbath what

00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:31.780
 God wants

00:20:31.780 --> 00:20:32.120
 us to do

00:20:32.120 --> 00:20:32.420
 on the

00:20:32.420 --> 00:20:32.660
 Sabbath,

00:20:33.140 --> 00:20:33.700
 namely to

00:20:33.700 --> 00:20:34.160
 rest,

00:20:34.560 --> 00:20:35.500
 but to show

00:20:35.500 --> 00:20:35.900
 mercy.

00:20:36.740 --> 00:20:37.600
 Rest doesn't

00:20:37.600 --> 00:20:38.160
 mean you just

00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:38.580
 sit on the

00:20:38.580 --> 00:20:38.980
 sofa and

00:20:38.980 --> 00:20:39.300
 don't do

00:20:39.300 --> 00:20:39.840
 anything for

00:20:39.840 --> 00:20:40.820
 24 hours.

00:20:40.819 --> 00:20:40.939
 rest.

00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:42.980
 It's not

00:20:42.980 --> 00:20:43.439
 that people

00:20:43.439 --> 00:20:43.960
 who are in

00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:44.579
 coma are

00:20:44.579 --> 00:20:46.039
 the best

00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:46.500
 believers.

00:20:46.980 --> 00:20:47.859
 That's not.

00:20:50.740 --> 00:20:51.700
 If we

00:20:51.700 --> 00:20:53.379
 observe the

00:20:53.379 --> 00:20:53.659
 Sabbath

00:20:53.659 --> 00:20:54.379
 correctly,

00:20:54.919 --> 00:20:56.460
 we rest.

00:20:57.960 --> 00:20:58.539
 I want

00:20:58.539 --> 00:20:58.919
 you to go

00:20:58.919 --> 00:20:59.519
 to chapter

00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:00.059
 11,

00:21:00.220 --> 00:21:01.000
 verse 28.

00:21:02.339 --> 00:21:02.899
 Go back

00:21:02.899 --> 00:21:04.819
 to Matthew

00:21:04.819 --> 00:21:05.639
 chapter 11,

00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:06.619
 verse 28.

00:21:08.700 --> 00:21:09.899
 This great

00:21:09.899 --> 00:21:10.460
 invitation

00:21:10.460 --> 00:21:11.460
 is,

00:21:11.460 --> 00:21:12.000
 come to

00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:12.519
 me all

00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:12.900
 you who

00:21:12.900 --> 00:21:13.420
 are weary

00:21:13.420 --> 00:21:14.340
 and burdened

00:21:14.340 --> 00:21:15.279
 and I

00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:15.900
 will give

00:21:15.900 --> 00:21:17.059
 you rest.

00:21:18.019 --> 00:21:18.779
 Take my

00:21:18.779 --> 00:21:19.299
 yoke upon

00:21:19.299 --> 00:21:19.700
 you and

00:21:19.700 --> 00:21:20.120
 learn from

00:21:20.120 --> 00:21:20.400
 me,

00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:21.259
 for I

00:21:21.259 --> 00:21:21.880
 am gentle

00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:22.500
 and humble

00:21:22.500 --> 00:21:23.039
 in heart

00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:23.799
 and you

00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:24.420
 will find

00:21:24.420 --> 00:21:26.819
 rest for

00:21:26.819 --> 00:21:27.500
 your souls.

00:21:28.840 --> 00:21:29.620
 Rest in

00:21:29.620 --> 00:21:30.579
 Matthew 11,

00:21:31.360 --> 00:21:33.120
 rest in

00:21:33.120 --> 00:21:33.980
 Matthew 12.

00:21:34.819 --> 00:21:35.500
 How do

00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:36.000
 we find

00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:36.980
 this rest

00:21:36.980 --> 00:21:39.640
 that Jesus

00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:40.440
 promises in

00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:41.799
 chapter 11?

00:21:42.080 --> 00:21:42.400
 Clearly

00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:42.980
 first by

00:21:42.980 --> 00:21:43.440
 coming to

00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:43.700
 him,

00:21:44.320 --> 00:21:44.759
 but then

00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:46.380
 by accepting

00:21:46.380 --> 00:21:47.340
 his teaching

00:21:47.340 --> 00:21:49.000
 on how

00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:49.799
 things are.

00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:58.559
 so,

00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:04.240
 moving on

00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:04.639
 then to

00:22:04.639 --> 00:22:05.319
 the next

00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:06.619
 title,

00:22:07.299 --> 00:22:07.559
 someone

00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:08.500
 greater than,

00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:09.680
 it is

00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:10.500
 someone

00:22:10.500 --> 00:22:11.359
 greater than

00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:11.839
 Jonah.

00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:14.259
 And the

00:22:14.259 --> 00:22:14.919
 next verse,

00:22:15.619 --> 00:22:15.919
 someone

00:22:15.919 --> 00:22:16.940
 greater than

00:22:16.940 --> 00:22:17.559
 Solomon.

00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:17.700
 Solomon.

00:22:19.819 --> 00:22:20.839
 Why did

00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:21.519
 he choose

00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:22.899
 Jonah and

00:22:22.899 --> 00:22:23.299
 Solomon?

00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:24.019
 Why didn't

00:22:24.019 --> 00:22:24.659
 he choose

00:22:24.659 --> 00:22:25.899
 Isaiah and

00:22:25.899 --> 00:22:27.299
 Josiah?

00:22:27.779 --> 00:22:28.440
 Why not

00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:29.799
 Hezekiah and

00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:31.599
 Jehoshaphat?

00:22:32.159 --> 00:22:33.500
 Why these

00:22:33.500 --> 00:22:33.839
 two?

00:22:35.139 --> 00:22:36.139
 Why Jonah

00:22:36.139 --> 00:22:37.259
 and

00:22:37.259 --> 00:22:39.639
 Solomon?

00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:39.700
 Solomon?

00:22:41.780 --> 00:22:42.759
 Because if

00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:44.560
 we look at

00:22:44.560 --> 00:22:45.980
 Jonah and

00:22:45.980 --> 00:22:46.380
 Solomon,

00:22:46.660 --> 00:22:47.300
 we see

00:22:47.300 --> 00:22:47.840
 something.

00:22:49.340 --> 00:22:50.040
 Let's look at

00:22:50.040 --> 00:22:50.960
 this passage.

00:22:51.140 --> 00:22:51.740
 Let's read it.

00:22:51.840 --> 00:22:52.180
 In Matthew

00:22:52.180 --> 00:22:52.759
 23,

00:22:53.100 --> 00:22:53.580
 I'm sorry,

00:22:54.140 --> 00:22:55.500
 Matthew 12,

00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:56.000
 verse

00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:58.440
 41.

00:22:58.440 --> 00:23:01.960
 The men

00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:02.740
 of Nineveh

00:23:02.740 --> 00:23:03.840
 will stand

00:23:03.840 --> 00:23:04.340
 up at

00:23:04.340 --> 00:23:04.860
 the judgment

00:23:04.860 --> 00:23:05.460
 with this

00:23:05.460 --> 00:23:06.019
 generation

00:23:06.019 --> 00:23:06.700
 and condemn

00:23:06.700 --> 00:23:07.759
 it because

00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:08.660
 they repented

00:23:08.660 --> 00:23:09.080
 at the

00:23:09.080 --> 00:23:09.400
 preaching

00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:10.080
 of Jonah

00:23:10.080 --> 00:23:11.799
 and now

00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:13.080
 one greater

00:23:13.080 --> 00:23:13.680
 than Jonah

00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:14.279
 is here.

00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:16.140
 The queen

00:23:16.140 --> 00:23:16.779
 of the south

00:23:16.779 --> 00:23:17.559
 will rise

00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:18.180
 at the judgment

00:23:18.180 --> 00:23:18.680
 with this

00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:19.180
 generation

00:23:19.180 --> 00:23:20.200
 and condemn

00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:21.820
 it because

00:23:21.820 --> 00:23:22.320
 she came

00:23:22.320 --> 00:23:22.660
 from the

00:23:22.660 --> 00:23:22.960
 ends of

00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:23.340
 the earth

00:23:23.340 --> 00:23:23.799
 to listen

00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:24.460
 to Solomon's

00:23:24.460 --> 00:23:25.720
 wisdom and

00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:26.840
 now one

00:23:26.840 --> 00:23:27.460
 greater than

00:23:27.460 --> 00:23:28.059
 Solomon is

00:23:28.059 --> 00:23:28.380
 here.

00:23:28.980 --> 00:23:29.460
 If we

00:23:29.460 --> 00:23:30.220
 look at

00:23:30.220 --> 00:23:31.460
 the men

00:23:31.460 --> 00:23:32.279
 of Nineveh

00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:33.240
 and the

00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:33.640
 queen of

00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:34.160
 the south,

00:23:34.579 --> 00:23:35.000
 we can

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:36.079
 see both

00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:37.200
 similarities

00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:39.100
 and differences.

00:23:39.980 --> 00:23:40.420
 Let's take

00:23:40.420 --> 00:23:40.759
 a look at

00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:41.920
 the obvious

00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:42.480
 differences.

00:23:43.500 --> 00:23:44.319
 How does

00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:44.740
 the queen

00:23:44.740 --> 00:23:45.319
 of the south

00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:46.000
 differ from

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:46.340
 the men

00:23:46.340 --> 00:23:46.980
 of Nineveh?

00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:47.720
 The most

00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:48.559
 obvious one

00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:49.460
 is that she

00:23:49.460 --> 00:23:50.019
 is a woman

00:23:50.019 --> 00:23:50.840
 and they

00:23:50.840 --> 00:23:51.860
 are men.

00:23:54.940 --> 00:23:55.779
 She is

00:23:55.779 --> 00:23:56.279
 royalty,

00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:56.940
 she is a

00:23:56.940 --> 00:23:57.279
 queen,

00:23:57.460 --> 00:23:58.059
 they are

00:23:58.059 --> 00:23:58.400
 just

00:23:58.400 --> 00:23:59.579
 commoners.

00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:00.539
 If she

00:24:00.539 --> 00:24:01.019
 is queen,

00:24:01.140 --> 00:24:01.579
 I suspect

00:24:01.579 --> 00:24:02.120
 she is

00:24:02.120 --> 00:24:02.519
 rich.

00:24:03.500 --> 00:24:04.220
 If they are

00:24:04.220 --> 00:24:04.980
 average citizens,

00:24:05.120 --> 00:24:05.539
 I suspect

00:24:05.539 --> 00:24:05.860
 they are

00:24:05.860 --> 00:24:06.380
 not rich.

00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:06.660
 They are

00:24:06.660 --> 00:24:06.860
 just,

00:24:07.700 --> 00:24:08.380
 anybody here

00:24:08.380 --> 00:24:08.680
 rich?

00:24:08.840 --> 00:24:10.160
 I am not

00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:10.440
 rich.

00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:14.900
 If she

00:24:14.900 --> 00:24:15.480
 is queen,

00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:16.660
 then she

00:24:16.660 --> 00:24:17.420
 is famous

00:24:17.420 --> 00:24:18.360
 and important.

00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:19.539
 If you are

00:24:19.539 --> 00:24:21.120
 average citizen,

00:24:22.579 --> 00:24:23.100
 nobody

00:24:23.100 --> 00:24:23.700
 knows you.

00:24:23.700 --> 00:24:25.160
 I go to

00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:25.799
 city hall to

00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:26.200
 pay city

00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:26.779
 taxes and

00:24:26.779 --> 00:24:27.120
 they don't

00:24:27.120 --> 00:24:27.539
 even know

00:24:27.539 --> 00:24:27.840
 who I

00:24:27.840 --> 00:24:28.080
 am.

00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:29.580
 I felt

00:24:29.580 --> 00:24:30.200
 so offended.

00:24:31.039 --> 00:24:31.440
 I thought

00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:31.799
 they would

00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:32.360
 put the

00:24:32.360 --> 00:24:33.420
 red carpet

00:24:33.420 --> 00:24:34.600
 and blow

00:24:34.600 --> 00:24:35.140
 the trumpet.

00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:36.120
 Samir is

00:24:36.120 --> 00:24:36.519
 coming,

00:24:36.700 --> 00:24:37.240
 Samir is

00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:37.559
 coming.

00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:39.720
 They

00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:39.980
 couldn't

00:24:39.980 --> 00:24:40.559
 care less.

00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:43.919
 but the

00:24:43.919 --> 00:24:45.019
 most important

00:24:45.019 --> 00:24:46.559
 difference

00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:47.279
 between the

00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:48.779
 queen and

00:24:48.779 --> 00:24:49.299
 the people

00:24:49.299 --> 00:24:49.919
 is that

00:24:49.919 --> 00:24:51.879
 she came

00:24:51.879 --> 00:24:53.799
 to Jerusalem

00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:54.639
 to hear

00:24:54.639 --> 00:24:55.079
 Solomon.

00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:56.579
 The men

00:24:56.579 --> 00:24:57.299
 of Nineveh

00:24:57.299 --> 00:24:57.879
 did not

00:24:57.879 --> 00:24:58.359
 come.

00:24:59.119 --> 00:24:59.460
 Jonah

00:24:59.460 --> 00:25:00.839
 went to

00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:01.099
 them.

00:25:02.299 --> 00:25:02.759
 They

00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:03.599
 came.

00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:05.079
 He

00:25:05.079 --> 00:25:05.940
 went.

00:25:05.940 --> 00:25:09.240
 But the

00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:09.680
 same

00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:11.360
 result

00:25:11.360 --> 00:25:12.620
 took place.

00:25:13.620 --> 00:25:13.779
 They

00:25:13.779 --> 00:25:14.240
 both

00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:15.120
 heard the

00:25:15.120 --> 00:25:15.519
 word of

00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:15.820
 God.

00:25:19.539 --> 00:25:20.180
 They

00:25:20.180 --> 00:25:20.519
 both

00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:20.900
 heard the

00:25:20.900 --> 00:25:21.240
 word of

00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:21.480
 God.

00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:22.380
 They

00:25:22.380 --> 00:25:22.720
 both

00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:23.299
 believed

00:25:23.299 --> 00:25:24.440
 in God.

00:25:25.080 --> 00:25:25.240
 They

00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:25.640
 both

00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:27.580
 had

00:25:27.580 --> 00:25:27.980
 faith,

00:25:28.100 --> 00:25:28.480
 expressed

00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:29.000
 their faith

00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:29.380
 in them.

00:25:29.580 --> 00:25:29.799
 You can

00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:30.140
 see that

00:25:30.140 --> 00:25:30.480
 in 1

00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:30.720
 Kings

00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:31.039
 chapter

00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:31.380
 10.

00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:34.320
 And

00:25:34.320 --> 00:25:34.960
 Jesus

00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:35.380
 says,

00:25:35.380 --> 00:25:35.960
 they

00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:36.220
 will

00:25:36.220 --> 00:25:36.600
 both

00:25:36.600 --> 00:25:37.100
 stand

00:25:37.100 --> 00:25:37.380
 up

00:25:37.380 --> 00:25:37.640
 with

00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:37.840
 this

00:25:37.840 --> 00:25:38.500
 generation

00:25:38.500 --> 00:25:38.820
 and

00:25:38.820 --> 00:25:39.180
 condemn

00:25:39.180 --> 00:25:39.440
 it.

00:25:40.220 --> 00:25:40.560
 She

00:25:40.560 --> 00:25:40.960
 came

00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:42.360
 to

00:25:42.360 --> 00:25:42.780
 hear

00:25:42.780 --> 00:25:43.740
 Solomon.

00:25:44.940 --> 00:25:45.540
 Solomon.

00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:46.180
 Not

00:25:46.180 --> 00:25:46.540
 Jesus,

00:25:46.760 --> 00:25:46.900
 but

00:25:46.900 --> 00:25:47.260
 Solomon.

00:25:48.180 --> 00:25:48.540
 She

00:25:48.540 --> 00:25:49.220
 came

00:25:49.220 --> 00:25:50.180
 to

00:25:50.180 --> 00:25:50.680
 hear

00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:51.580
 Solomon.

00:25:52.460 --> 00:25:52.760
 Look

00:25:52.760 --> 00:25:53.040
 at

00:25:53.040 --> 00:25:53.460
 Matthew

00:25:53.460 --> 00:25:54.040
 11,

00:25:54.220 --> 00:25:54.800
 28.

00:25:55.420 --> 00:25:55.800
 What

00:25:55.800 --> 00:25:56.040
 does

00:25:56.040 --> 00:25:56.360
 Jesus

00:25:56.360 --> 00:25:56.740
 say?

00:25:57.380 --> 00:25:57.800
 Come

00:25:57.800 --> 00:25:58.640
 to me.

00:25:59.320 --> 00:25:59.480
 And

00:25:59.480 --> 00:25:59.700
 she

00:25:59.700 --> 00:26:00.140
 came.

00:26:00.900 --> 00:26:01.200
 Not

00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:01.380
 to

00:26:01.380 --> 00:26:01.720
 Jesus

00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:02.040
 because

00:26:02.040 --> 00:26:02.160
 he

00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:02.400
 wasn't

00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:02.640
 even

00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:02.900
 born

00:26:02.900 --> 00:26:03.220
 yet,

00:26:03.420 --> 00:26:03.700
 but

00:26:03.700 --> 00:26:03.920
 to

00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:04.280
 Solomon.

00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:05.119
 and she

00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:05.299
 heard

00:26:05.299 --> 00:26:05.440
 the

00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:05.599
 word

00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:05.759
 of

00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:06.039
 God.

00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:09.740
 And

00:26:09.740 --> 00:26:10.079
 they

00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:11.420
 heard

00:26:11.420 --> 00:26:11.779
 the

00:26:11.779 --> 00:26:11.940
 word

00:26:11.940 --> 00:26:12.099
 of

00:26:12.099 --> 00:26:12.420
 God

00:26:12.420 --> 00:26:12.700
 and

00:26:12.700 --> 00:26:13.299
 repented

00:26:13.299 --> 00:26:13.619
 and

00:26:13.619 --> 00:26:14.000
 God

00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:14.500
 spared

00:26:14.500 --> 00:26:15.399
 Nineveh.

00:26:18.700 --> 00:26:18.879
 And

00:26:18.879 --> 00:26:19.220
 so,

00:26:20.220 --> 00:26:20.980
 what should

00:26:20.980 --> 00:26:21.299
 we

00:26:21.299 --> 00:26:22.500
 conclude?

00:26:23.259 --> 00:26:23.519
 What

00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:23.839
 should we

00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:24.180
 think

00:26:24.180 --> 00:26:25.619
 in the

00:26:25.619 --> 00:26:25.960
 light of

00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:26.319
 all of

00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:26.519
 these

00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:26.879
 things?

00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:27.940
 Let

00:26:27.940 --> 00:26:28.079
 me

00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:28.500
 suggest

00:26:28.500 --> 00:26:29.019
 three

00:26:29.019 --> 00:26:29.420
 things.

00:26:29.420 --> 00:26:32.279
 number

00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:32.680
 one,

00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:36.279
 we

00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:36.759
 need

00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:36.980
 to

00:26:36.980 --> 00:26:37.380
 start

00:26:37.380 --> 00:26:37.700
 to

00:26:37.700 --> 00:26:38.000
 ask

00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:38.580
 ourselves,

00:26:39.259 --> 00:26:39.980
 who

00:26:39.980 --> 00:26:40.440
 is

00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:40.840
 this

00:26:40.840 --> 00:26:41.279
 Jesus?

00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:43.320
 And

00:26:43.320 --> 00:26:43.519
 the

00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:43.980
 answer

00:26:43.980 --> 00:26:44.420
 is,

00:26:45.420 --> 00:26:46.080
 it's

00:26:46.080 --> 00:26:46.220
 a

00:26:46.220 --> 00:26:46.720
 complex

00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:47.340
 answer.

00:26:48.100 --> 00:26:48.400
 It's

00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:49.080
 not a

00:26:49.080 --> 00:26:49.460
 simple

00:26:49.460 --> 00:26:49.860
 answer.

00:26:50.019 --> 00:26:50.259
 Jesus

00:26:50.259 --> 00:26:50.560
 calls

00:26:50.560 --> 00:26:50.860
 himself

00:26:50.860 --> 00:26:51.080
 the

00:26:51.080 --> 00:26:51.240
 son

00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:51.360
 of

00:26:51.360 --> 00:26:51.640
 man.

00:26:52.100 --> 00:26:52.259
 He

00:26:52.259 --> 00:26:52.460
 does.

00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:54.340
 But

00:26:54.340 --> 00:26:54.720
 Jesus

00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:55.240
 is

00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:56.180
 the

00:26:56.180 --> 00:26:56.440
 one

00:26:56.440 --> 00:26:56.720
 who

00:26:56.720 --> 00:26:56.980
 is

00:26:56.980 --> 00:26:57.580
 greater

00:26:57.580 --> 00:26:59.080
 than

00:26:59.080 --> 00:26:59.440
 Old

00:26:59.440 --> 00:26:59.820
 Testament

00:26:59.820 --> 00:27:00.460
 kings.

00:27:01.740 --> 00:27:02.059
 Jesus

00:27:02.059 --> 00:27:02.500
 is

00:27:02.500 --> 00:27:02.860
 one

00:27:02.860 --> 00:27:03.820
 greater

00:27:03.820 --> 00:27:06.840
 than

00:27:06.840 --> 00:27:07.160
 Old

00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:07.519
 Testament

00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:08.360
 prophets.

00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:11.039
 And

00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:11.480
 Jesus

00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:11.920
 is

00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:12.460
 greater

00:27:12.460 --> 00:27:14.279
 than

00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:14.620
 Old

00:27:14.620 --> 00:27:15.019
 Testament

00:27:15.019 --> 00:27:15.720
 priests.

00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:16.799
 Who

00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:17.120
 is

00:27:17.120 --> 00:27:17.700
 Jesus?

00:27:18.539 --> 00:27:18.920
 He

00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:19.259
 is

00:27:19.259 --> 00:27:19.759
 the

00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:20.080
 one

00:27:20.080 --> 00:27:20.340
 who

00:27:20.340 --> 00:27:20.539
 is

00:27:20.539 --> 00:27:20.980
 greater

00:27:20.980 --> 00:27:21.360
 than

00:27:21.360 --> 00:27:22.059
 everything

00:27:22.059 --> 00:27:22.880
 in

00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:23.039
 the

00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:23.279
 Old

00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:23.680
 Testament.

00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:27.519
 I

00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:27.920
 thought

00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:28.940
 he

00:27:28.940 --> 00:27:29.220
 was

00:27:29.220 --> 00:27:29.580
 bold

00:27:29.580 --> 00:27:29.779
 when

00:27:29.779 --> 00:27:29.920
 he

00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:30.140
 says

00:27:30.140 --> 00:27:30.360
 no

00:27:30.360 --> 00:27:30.539
 one

00:27:30.539 --> 00:27:30.759
 knows

00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:30.920
 the

00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:31.200
 father

00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:31.539
 except

00:27:31.539 --> 00:27:32.000
 me.

00:27:33.019 --> 00:27:33.400
 Boy,

00:27:33.539 --> 00:27:33.759
 Jesus

00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:34.160
 doesn't

00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:34.360
 have

00:27:34.360 --> 00:27:34.640
 any

00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:35.320
 limits.

00:27:35.539 --> 00:27:35.580
 I

00:27:35.580 --> 00:27:35.700
 mean,

00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:35.880
 when

00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:36.019
 he

00:27:36.019 --> 00:27:36.320
 goes,

00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:36.500
 he

00:27:36.500 --> 00:27:36.920
 goes.

00:27:37.460 --> 00:27:37.640
 He

00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:37.920
 runs

00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:38.140
 with

00:27:38.140 --> 00:27:38.320
 it.

00:27:39.140 --> 00:27:39.519
 Nobody

00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:39.880
 knows

00:27:39.880 --> 00:27:40.039
 the

00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:40.279
 father

00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:40.580
 except

00:27:40.580 --> 00:27:40.940
 me.

00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:41.799
 I

00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:41.980
 am

00:27:41.980 --> 00:27:42.240
 greater

00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:42.480
 than

00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:42.680
 all

00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:42.860
 the

00:27:42.860 --> 00:27:43.240
 prophets.

00:27:44.100 --> 00:27:44.500
 I

00:27:44.500 --> 00:27:44.640
 am

00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:44.900
 greater

00:27:44.900 --> 00:27:45.140
 than

00:27:45.140 --> 00:27:45.340
 all

00:27:45.340 --> 00:27:45.500
 the

00:27:45.500 --> 00:27:45.980
 priests.

00:27:46.580 --> 00:27:46.860
 I

00:27:46.860 --> 00:27:47.019
 am

00:27:47.019 --> 00:27:47.279
 greater

00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:47.539
 than

00:27:47.539 --> 00:27:47.759
 all

00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:47.940
 the

00:27:47.940 --> 00:27:48.320
 kings.

00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:49.580
 You

00:27:49.580 --> 00:27:49.740
 can

00:27:49.740 --> 00:27:50.080
 imagine

00:27:50.080 --> 00:27:50.299
 the

00:27:50.299 --> 00:27:50.519
 poor

00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:51.120
 disciples

00:27:51.120 --> 00:27:51.580
 thinking,

00:27:52.660 --> 00:27:53.180
 boy,

00:27:53.420 --> 00:27:53.600
 who

00:27:53.600 --> 00:27:53.880
 is

00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:54.160
 this

00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:54.500
 guy?

00:27:55.460 --> 00:27:55.740
 And

00:27:55.740 --> 00:27:55.880
 the

00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:56.200
 answer,

00:27:56.840 --> 00:27:57.000
 you

00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:57.140
 are

00:27:57.140 --> 00:27:57.300
 the

00:27:57.300 --> 00:27:57.680
 Christ,

00:27:58.320 --> 00:27:58.480
 the

00:27:58.480 --> 00:27:58.640
 son

00:27:58.640 --> 00:27:58.760
 of

00:27:58.760 --> 00:27:58.860
 the

00:27:58.860 --> 00:27:59.060
 living

00:27:59.060 --> 00:27:59.380
 God.

00:28:05.140 --> 00:28:05.700
 We

00:28:05.700 --> 00:28:05.980
 should

00:28:05.980 --> 00:28:06.400
 think

00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:06.940
 big

00:28:06.940 --> 00:28:07.300
 of

00:28:07.300 --> 00:28:07.680
 Jesus.

00:28:08.520 --> 00:28:08.840
 Jesus

00:28:08.840 --> 00:28:09.240
 isn't

00:28:09.240 --> 00:28:09.520
 just

00:28:09.520 --> 00:28:09.760
 your

00:28:09.760 --> 00:28:10.200
 friend.

00:28:10.700 --> 00:28:10.840
 He

00:28:10.840 --> 00:28:11.040
 is

00:28:11.040 --> 00:28:11.240
 our

00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:11.560
 friend.

00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:13.160
 But

00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:13.300
 he

00:28:13.300 --> 00:28:13.620
 isn't

00:28:13.620 --> 00:28:14.080
 just

00:28:14.080 --> 00:28:14.340
 your

00:28:14.340 --> 00:28:14.640
 friend.

00:28:14.760 --> 00:28:14.880
 He

00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:15.080
 is

00:28:15.080 --> 00:28:15.320
 a

00:28:15.320 --> 00:28:15.600
 lot

00:28:15.600 --> 00:28:15.940
 more

00:28:15.940 --> 00:28:16.140
 than

00:28:16.140 --> 00:28:16.460
 that.

00:28:17.260 --> 00:28:17.500
 He

00:28:17.500 --> 00:28:17.800
 isn't

00:28:17.800 --> 00:28:18.060
 just

00:28:18.060 --> 00:28:18.280
 your

00:28:18.280 --> 00:28:18.620
 body.

00:28:21.080 --> 00:28:21.600
 He

00:28:21.600 --> 00:28:21.880
 isn't

00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:22.120
 just

00:28:22.120 --> 00:28:22.280
 the

00:28:22.280 --> 00:28:22.480
 one

00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:22.640
 who

00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:22.780
 is

00:28:22.780 --> 00:28:23.120
 there.

00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:24.160
 He

00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:24.400
 is

00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:24.740
 this

00:28:24.740 --> 00:28:25.020
 but

00:28:25.020 --> 00:28:25.220
 he

00:28:25.220 --> 00:28:25.420
 is

00:28:25.420 --> 00:28:25.620
 a

00:28:25.620 --> 00:28:25.880
 lot

00:28:25.880 --> 00:28:26.140
 more

00:28:26.140 --> 00:28:26.320
 than

00:28:26.320 --> 00:28:26.580
 that.

00:28:28.280 --> 00:28:28.560
 There

00:28:28.560 --> 00:28:28.740
 is

00:28:28.740 --> 00:28:29.120
 no

00:28:29.120 --> 00:28:29.400
 one

00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:30.220
 or

00:28:30.220 --> 00:28:31.400
 nothing,

00:28:32.600 --> 00:28:33.100
 no

00:28:33.100 --> 00:28:33.600
 person

00:28:33.600 --> 00:28:33.900
 and

00:28:33.900 --> 00:28:34.100
 no

00:28:34.100 --> 00:28:34.800
 institution

00:28:34.800 --> 00:28:35.960
 greater

00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:36.200
 than

00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:36.540
 Jesus.

00:28:38.220 --> 00:28:38.660
 Someone

00:28:38.660 --> 00:28:39.240
 greater

00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:39.500
 than

00:28:39.500 --> 00:28:39.860
 Solomon

00:28:39.860 --> 00:28:40.100
 is

00:28:40.100 --> 00:28:40.400
 here.

00:28:41.420 --> 00:28:41.740
 Someone

00:28:41.740 --> 00:28:42.220
 greater

00:28:42.220 --> 00:28:42.520
 than

00:28:42.520 --> 00:28:42.860
 Jonah

00:28:42.860 --> 00:28:43.100
 is

00:28:43.100 --> 00:28:43.400
 here.

00:28:44.260 --> 00:28:44.580
 Someone

00:28:44.580 --> 00:28:45.160
 greater

00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:45.380
 than

00:28:45.380 --> 00:28:45.560
 the

00:28:45.560 --> 00:28:45.860
 temple

00:28:45.860 --> 00:28:46.420
 is

00:28:46.420 --> 00:28:46.680
 here.

00:28:47.560 --> 00:28:47.760
 The

00:28:47.760 --> 00:28:48.080
 second

00:28:48.080 --> 00:28:48.440
 point,

00:28:48.540 --> 00:28:48.760
 and I

00:28:48.760 --> 00:28:48.940
 want

00:28:48.940 --> 00:28:49.040
 you

00:28:49.040 --> 00:28:49.180
 to

00:28:49.180 --> 00:28:49.720
 reflect

00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:50.000
 about

00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:50.320
 this.

00:28:51.020 --> 00:28:51.320
 Look

00:28:51.320 --> 00:28:51.620
 at

00:28:51.620 --> 00:28:51.840
 what

00:28:51.840 --> 00:28:52.440
 happens

00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:52.680
 to

00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:52.860
 the

00:28:52.860 --> 00:28:53.260
 gospel.

00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:55.040
 The

00:28:55.040 --> 00:28:55.420
 gospel

00:28:55.420 --> 00:28:55.780
 does

00:28:55.780 --> 00:28:56.100
 not

00:28:56.100 --> 00:28:57.040
 differentiate.

00:28:58.220 --> 00:28:58.400
 It

00:28:58.400 --> 00:28:58.880
 doesn't

00:28:58.880 --> 00:28:59.220
 matter

00:28:59.220 --> 00:28:59.480
 whether

00:28:59.480 --> 00:28:59.680
 you

00:28:59.680 --> 00:28:59.900
 are

00:28:59.900 --> 00:29:00.240
 a

00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:00.720
 woman

00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:01.560
 or

00:29:01.560 --> 00:29:01.740
 a

00:29:01.740 --> 00:29:02.120
 man.

00:29:03.120 --> 00:29:03.360
 It

00:29:03.360 --> 00:29:03.700
 doesn't

00:29:03.700 --> 00:29:04.080

00:29:04.080 --> 00:29:04.920
 whether

00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:05.160
 you

00:29:05.160 --> 00:29:05.380
 are

00:29:05.380 --> 00:29:05.700
 a

00:29:05.700 --> 00:29:06.640
 royalty

00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:07.300
 or

00:29:07.300 --> 00:29:07.540
 whether

00:29:07.540 --> 00:29:07.800
 you

00:29:07.800 --> 00:29:08.060
 are

00:29:08.060 --> 00:29:08.340
 a

00:29:08.340 --> 00:29:08.900
 commoner.

00:29:09.760 --> 00:29:10.100
 It

00:29:10.100 --> 00:29:10.460
 doesn't

00:29:10.460 --> 00:29:10.740
 matter

00:29:10.740 --> 00:29:10.960
 whether

00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:11.160
 you

00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:11.380
 are

00:29:11.380 --> 00:29:11.780
 rich

00:29:11.780 --> 00:29:12.300
 or

00:29:12.300 --> 00:29:12.540
 whether

00:29:12.540 --> 00:29:12.760
 you

00:29:12.760 --> 00:29:12.940
 are

00:29:12.940 --> 00:29:13.360
 poor.

00:29:14.080 --> 00:29:14.440
 It

00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:14.820
 doesn't

00:29:14.820 --> 00:29:15.200
 matter

00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:16.160
 whether

00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:17.040
 you

00:29:17.040 --> 00:29:17.280
 are

00:29:17.280 --> 00:29:17.880
 famous

00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:18.720
 or

00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:19.000
 not

00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:19.520
 famous.

00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:20.420
 it

00:29:20.420 --> 00:29:20.680
 doesn't

00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:20.940

 you

00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:21.539
 are

00:29:21.539 --> 00:29:21.940
 highly

00:29:21.940 --> 00:29:22.379
 regarded

00:29:22.379 --> 00:29:22.639
 by

00:29:22.639 --> 00:29:23.200
 society

00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:23.779
 or

00:29:23.779 --> 00:29:24.119
 not

00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:24.559
 highly

00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:24.960
 regarded

00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:25.240
 by

00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:25.839
 society.

00:29:26.339 --> 00:29:26.700
 It

00:29:26.700 --> 00:29:27.119
 doesn't

00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:27.440
 matter

00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:27.720
 whether

00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:28.019
 you

00:29:28.019 --> 00:29:28.559
 came

00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:29.539
 to

00:29:29.539 --> 00:29:29.960
 hear

00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:30.460
 the

00:29:30.460 --> 00:29:30.819
 gospel

00:29:30.819 --> 00:29:31.339
 or

00:29:31.339 --> 00:29:31.539
 the

00:29:31.539 --> 00:29:31.960
 gospel

00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:32.940
 went

00:29:32.940 --> 00:29:33.180
 out

00:29:33.180 --> 00:29:33.359
 to

00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:33.599
 you.

00:29:38.099 --> 00:29:38.779
 I

00:29:38.779 --> 00:29:39.139
 became

00:29:39.139 --> 00:29:39.339
 a

00:29:39.339 --> 00:29:39.619
 Christian

00:29:39.619 --> 00:29:40.079
 because

00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:40.420
 I

00:29:40.420 --> 00:29:40.680
 was

00:29:40.680 --> 00:29:41.319
 really

00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:42.460
 interested

00:29:42.460 --> 00:29:42.779
 in

00:29:42.779 --> 00:29:42.980
 the

00:29:42.980 --> 00:29:43.339
 truth.

00:29:44.639 --> 00:29:44.859
 So

00:29:44.859 --> 00:29:45.160
 rather

00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:45.379
 than

00:29:45.379 --> 00:29:45.779
 majoring

00:29:45.779 --> 00:29:45.960
 in

00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:46.319
 medicine

00:29:46.319 --> 00:29:46.799
 as

00:29:46.799 --> 00:29:47.240
 all

00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:47.419
 my

00:29:47.419 --> 00:29:47.680
 family

00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:47.980
 wanted

00:29:47.980 --> 00:29:48.159
 me

00:29:48.159 --> 00:29:48.319
 to

00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:48.500
 do

00:29:48.500 --> 00:29:49.359
 I

00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:49.720
 wanted

00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:50.000
 to

00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:50.180
 know

00:29:50.180 --> 00:29:50.379
 the

00:29:50.379 --> 00:29:50.680
 truth.

00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:51.579
 So

00:29:51.579 --> 00:29:52.299
 foolishly

00:29:52.299 --> 00:29:52.519
 I

00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:52.919
 majored

00:29:52.919 --> 00:29:53.119
 in

00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:53.559
 philosophy

00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:55.779
 and

00:29:55.779 --> 00:29:55.960
 then

00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:56.240
 God

00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:56.619
 changed

00:29:56.619 --> 00:29:56.919
 that.

00:29:58.720 --> 00:29:59.259
 So

00:29:59.259 --> 00:29:59.579
 I

00:29:59.579 --> 00:30:00.180
 majored

00:30:00.180 --> 00:30:00.539
 in

00:30:00.539 --> 00:30:01.000
 philosophy

00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:01.419
 because

00:30:01.419 --> 00:30:01.740
 I

00:30:01.740 --> 00:30:02.000
 was

00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:02.680
 searching

00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:03.419
 for

00:30:03.419 --> 00:30:03.659
 the

00:30:03.659 --> 00:30:04.019
 truth.

00:30:05.359 --> 00:30:05.659
 Other

00:30:05.659 --> 00:30:06.059
 people

00:30:06.059 --> 00:30:06.379
 aren't

00:30:06.379 --> 00:30:06.680
 searching

00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:06.940
 for

00:30:06.940 --> 00:30:07.339
 anything.

00:30:08.099 --> 00:30:08.220
 You

00:30:08.220 --> 00:30:08.299
 are

00:30:08.299 --> 00:30:08.639
 minding

00:30:08.639 --> 00:30:08.779
 your

00:30:08.779 --> 00:30:09.000
 own

00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:09.440
 business

00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:10.059
 and

00:30:10.059 --> 00:30:10.220
 I

00:30:10.220 --> 00:30:10.379
 sit

00:30:10.379 --> 00:30:10.680
 next

00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:10.819
 to

00:30:10.819 --> 00:30:10.940
 you

00:30:10.940 --> 00:30:11.059
 and

00:30:11.059 --> 00:30:11.220
 I

00:30:11.220 --> 00:30:11.379
 say

00:30:11.379 --> 00:30:11.639
 have

00:30:11.639 --> 00:30:11.779
 you

00:30:11.779 --> 00:30:11.980
 heard

00:30:11.980 --> 00:30:12.159
 of

00:30:12.159 --> 00:30:12.480
 Jesus?

00:30:13.980 --> 00:30:14.539
 As

00:30:14.539 --> 00:30:14.759
 we

00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:15.000
 did

 InterVarsity

00:30:19.320 --> 00:30:20.080
 you

00:30:20.080 --> 00:30:20.460
 go up

 you

 some

00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:26.920
 people

00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:27.800
 are

 searching

00:30:28.519 --> 00:30:28.840

 they

 come

00:30:30.900 --> 00:30:31.120
 are

 not

00:30:31.380 --> 00:30:31.759
 searching

00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:32.380
 and

00:30:32.380 --> 00:30:32.680
 God

00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:33.040
 comes

00:30:33.040 --> 00:30:33.220
 to

00:30:33.220 --> 00:30:33.420
 them.

00:30:34.100 --> 00:30:34.340
 It

00:30:34.340 --> 00:30:34.900
 doesn't

00:30:34.900 --> 00:30:35.380
 matter

00:30:35.380 --> 00:30:35.820
 how

 Look

00:31:00.259 --> 00:31:00.480
 they

00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:00.759
 did
