00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.120
 So our text this morning, as Nathan said, is Matthew 22, verses 34 through 30.

00:00:05.940 --> 00:00:07.839
 So let's start by reading our text.

00:00:11.019 --> 00:00:13.179
 This is the Word of God, and it reads,

00:00:13.939 --> 00:00:18.580
 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.

00:00:19.339 --> 00:00:22.539
 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him.

00:00:23.080 --> 00:00:25.839
 Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?

00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:32.700
 And he said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

00:00:33.659 --> 00:00:35.780
 This is the great and first commandment.

00:00:36.259 --> 00:00:37.359
 And the second is like it.

00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:39.640
 You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

00:00:40.420 --> 00:00:44.159
 On these two commands depend all the law and the prophets.

00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:50.980
 So today's passage answers one of the most basic questions of Christian living.

00:00:51.460 --> 00:00:53.859
 What does God desire of mankind?

00:00:53.859 --> 00:01:02.619
 If we can perfectly obey the two commands that are given here throughout our lives perfectly, we will fulfill the law.

00:01:02.740 --> 00:01:04.560
 That's what Jesus is teaching.

00:01:05.299 --> 00:01:09.079
 No one but the Son of Man, Jesus Christ, has been able to do so.

00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:17.780
 And as we'll see today, loving God and others in this way requires a whole self-devotion to God and to his work at all times.

00:01:17.780 --> 00:01:24.840
 So my goal for this morning is for us to grow in our understanding of what these two commands actually require of us,

00:01:25.299 --> 00:01:31.320
 that we may understand the heart of God in a more real sense, greater treasure, the atoning work of Christ,

00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:35.840
 who perfectly fulfilled the law and imputed his righteousness to his people,

00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:42.020
 and therefore grow in our ability to display the love we have for one another in a tangible way.

00:01:42.019 --> 00:01:49.239
 So to do so, we'll take a look at this text in four points, and I'll refer back to them as we go.

00:01:49.899 --> 00:02:00.120
 But it'll be the context, the question, the commands, and the connection, and the connection between those two commands.

00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:04.239
 So firstly, let's look at our first main point, the context.

00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:11.699
 So this passage in Matthew 22 has zoomed into the last week of Jesus' life.

00:02:12.219 --> 00:02:16.180
 He has made his triumphal entry into Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives.

00:02:16.379 --> 00:02:21.939
 He has driven out the money changers, and the next morning he curses the fig tree.

00:02:22.419 --> 00:02:27.780
 It withers immediately, according to Matthew's account, and he enters the temple again to teach.

00:02:27.780 --> 00:02:30.879
 We read in chapter 21,

00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:37.240
 When he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching,

00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:43.099
 and said, By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?

00:02:43.420 --> 00:02:49.280
 So the question that this particular leader asks is in the context of Jesus coming into the temple,

00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.979
 teaching, and his authority being challenged.

00:02:52.979 --> 00:03:00.939
 So Jesus' following teaching is bookended by two simple questions that they cannot or will not answer.

00:03:01.459 --> 00:03:07.859
 And these questions expose the religious leaders' hypocrisy and ignorance of the law.

00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:11.560
 So the first question, what Jesus directly responds to this challenge,

00:03:12.099 --> 00:03:16.539
 he asks them where John the Baptist's baptism came from.

00:03:17.259 --> 00:03:21.000
 And they discuss it among themselves, as it says in chapter 21.

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:25.699
 And if they said from heaven, Jesus would say to them,

00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:27.000
 Why then do you not believe?

00:03:27.580 --> 00:03:33.580
 But if they say from man, they are afraid of the crowds, for they all hold that John was a prophet.

00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:35.979
 So they answer Jesus, We do not know.

00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:40.620
 And he said to them, Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:44.500
 And then on the other end, after our teaching, following our text,

00:03:44.500 --> 00:03:51.580
 Christ asks them how the Messiah, as the son of David, is referred to by David as my Lord,

00:03:52.060 --> 00:03:56.099
 which, again, they cannot or will not give an answer.

00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:02.139
 So in between these two bookends, we find three parables that are specifically targeting the religious leaders

00:04:02.139 --> 00:04:04.039
 who have come to challenge him.

00:04:04.340 --> 00:04:08.900
 And then we find three questions asked of Jesus in order to test him.

00:04:08.900 --> 00:04:12.719
 So in summary, we first have the parable of the two sons,

00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.920
 where Jesus concludes in verse 31 of chapter 21,

00:04:17.379 --> 00:04:23.420
 The tax collectors and prostitutes go into the kingdom of God before you, these religious leaders.

00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.500
 And then we have the parable of the tenants and the parable of the wedding feasts,

00:04:27.980 --> 00:04:31.759
 both showing the betrayal of Israel's leaders of God's original plan,

00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:36.300
 accusing them of killing his messengers and denying his son.

00:04:36.300 --> 00:04:41.040
 We know that these Jewish leaders understand that Christ is speaking about them,

00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.759
 and they want to arrest him, but again, they fear the crowds.

00:04:45.220 --> 00:04:48.520
 So instead, they resort to outsmarting him.

00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:53.540
 So after, of course, they are unable to do this,

00:04:53.960 --> 00:04:57.740
 we know that they eventually abandon this plan of outsmarting Jesus

00:04:57.740 --> 00:05:05.060
 and instead bring false witnesses against Christ and convict him of crimes that he didn't commit

00:05:05.060 --> 00:05:07.900
 and would crucify him on the cross.

00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:09.960
 But they're not quite to that point yet.

00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:14.280
 They're first trying to shame him or trip him up in his words.

00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:20.579
 So our text this morning is the third in a series of questions that the leaders are asking.

00:05:21.060 --> 00:05:25.319
 And Jesus takes the opportunity to teach about three fundamental relationships.

00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:29.040
 So firstly, we see the Pharisees joining the Herodians,

00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.120
 asking about our relationship with government,

00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:33.839
 to which Jesus answers,

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.060
 render to Caesar that which is Caesar's.

00:05:36.599 --> 00:05:40.740
 Then we see the Sadducees asking a question about the afterlife,

00:05:41.219 --> 00:05:42.680
 to which Jesus answers,

00:05:42.860 --> 00:05:44.659
 there is no marriage in the afterlife,

00:05:45.159 --> 00:05:47.319
 and God is not a God of the dead,

00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:49.100
 but of the living,

00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:50.800
 thus confirming the resurrection.

00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:52.980
 And then we have our text,

00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.639
 where the Pharisees send a scribe or a lawyer

00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.600
 concerning the relationship between man and the law.

00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.540
 So that's the context of our passage this morning.

00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:06.120
 Let's take a look at the question asked to test Jesus.

00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:10.780
 So this question is asked by a lawyer or a scribe.

00:06:11.340 --> 00:06:14.019
 And so this type of Pharisee

00:06:14.019 --> 00:06:17.319
 would have had little to do with actually leading the people or teaching,

00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:20.540
 but was more of an academic expert on the law.

00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.460
 So this question is clearly meant to test Jesus,

00:06:23.620 --> 00:06:27.160
 but if you read Mark's account of the same story in chapter 12,

00:06:27.780 --> 00:06:30.600
 he seems to have a bit more of a positive impression.

00:06:31.139 --> 00:06:35.139
 So we know that this Pharisee is trying to test Jesus,

00:06:35.280 --> 00:06:36.180
 but at the same time,

00:06:36.620 --> 00:06:39.780
 we also see him in some ways in Mark's account,

00:06:39.900 --> 00:06:42.420
 genuinely seeking after wisdom.

00:06:43.540 --> 00:06:45.860
 No matter this particular scribe's intent,

00:06:45.939 --> 00:06:48.019
 we do know that some of the Jewish leaders were converted,

00:06:48.019 --> 00:06:51.740
 or at least some came to Christ in humility,

00:06:51.740 --> 00:06:55.519
 seeking to learn Nicodemus being one example of those.

00:06:56.599 --> 00:06:58.159
 Now, as he asks our Lord,

00:06:58.319 --> 00:06:59.560
 which is the greatest commandment?

00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:01.099
 He's not simply asking,

00:07:01.419 --> 00:07:04.259
 which is the first command among many that we should obey?

00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:06.099
 Rather, he's asking,

00:07:06.339 --> 00:07:10.379
 which is the preeminent command that informs all the others?

00:07:10.859 --> 00:07:14.680
 The great command is in a category of its own.

00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:18.579
 So we can know this from a couple of different points.

00:07:18.780 --> 00:07:20.720
 Firstly, from Jesus's response,

00:07:21.180 --> 00:07:25.220
 and then if you read the scribe's response in Mark's account,

00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.120
 this is the question that he is asking.

00:07:29.860 --> 00:07:32.000
 We also know from the rabbinic tradition,

00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:35.680
 the rabbis held that there were 613 commands

00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:37.399
 found in the Pentateuch,

00:07:37.500 --> 00:07:39.939
 the first five books of Moses' teaching,

00:07:39.939 --> 00:07:44.399
 one command for each letter in the Ten Commandments.

00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.839
 248 of these commands were positive in nature,

00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:49.560
 asking us to do something,

00:07:49.980 --> 00:07:54.540
 whereas 365 were negative or forbidding in nature.

00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:56.000
 So as a shortcut,

00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:58.240
 the rabbis would categorize these commands

00:07:58.240 --> 00:07:59.920
 into heavier commands

00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:02.060
 and into lighter commands

00:08:02.060 --> 00:08:04.120
 so that they could focus on the heaviest

00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:07.680
 and not worry so much on the light ones.

00:08:08.100 --> 00:08:10.680
 And there was an ongoing disagreement among the rabbis,

00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:11.899
 which were the heavy ones,

00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:13.000
 which were the light ones,

00:08:13.300 --> 00:08:16.100
 and which was the heaviest of them all.

00:08:16.379 --> 00:08:18.199
 So this scribe was asking Jesus

00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:20.500
 a commonly disputed question.

00:08:21.180 --> 00:08:24.300
 Now, likely what was happening in the rabbis' minds

00:08:24.300 --> 00:08:28.000
 is that they were trying to take a shortcut on God's law.

00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:29.660
 They were trying to see

00:08:29.660 --> 00:08:31.180
 what was the least amount of effort

00:08:31.180 --> 00:08:32.420
 that they could put in

00:08:32.420 --> 00:08:36.080
 to feel or to be justified before God

00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:37.500
 in their minds.

00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.500
 We have a tendency in this direction as well,

00:08:40.820 --> 00:08:42.180
 and we know that this contradicts

00:08:42.180 --> 00:08:43.379
 James' later teaching

00:08:43.379 --> 00:08:46.139
 that falling short at one point in the law

00:08:46.139 --> 00:08:49.360
 renders us guilty under the whole law.

00:08:49.940 --> 00:08:52.060
 So let's take a look at Jesus' response

00:08:52.060 --> 00:08:53.660
 in our third main point.

00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:54.500
 We'll, of course,

00:08:54.560 --> 00:08:56.440
 spend a little bit more time here

00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:58.380
 and in the next one,

00:08:58.940 --> 00:09:00.660
 the two commands.

00:09:01.380 --> 00:09:01.920
 So firstly,

00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:04.040
 I want to address these commands separately,

00:09:04.520 --> 00:09:05.820
 and then we'll examine

00:09:05.820 --> 00:09:07.160
 the connection between them

00:09:07.160 --> 00:09:08.580
 since that's kind of the main point

00:09:08.580 --> 00:09:10.200
 of what Jesus is saying here.

00:09:10.800 --> 00:09:11.420
 So firstly,

00:09:12.020 --> 00:09:12.940
 sub-point A,

00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:13.860
 if you're taking notes,

00:09:14.300 --> 00:09:15.920
 we'll look at the great command.

00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:18.300
 So as many of you know,

00:09:18.740 --> 00:09:19.920
 Jesus is quoting here

00:09:19.920 --> 00:09:21.060
 from the Shema

00:09:21.060 --> 00:09:23.880
 found in Deuteronomy chapter 6,

00:09:24.500 --> 00:09:25.020
 which reads,

00:09:25.019 --> 00:09:26.699
 you shall love the Lord your God

00:09:26.699 --> 00:09:27.620
 with all your heart,

00:09:27.779 --> 00:09:28.840
 with all your soul,

00:09:29.199 --> 00:09:30.659
 and with all your strength.

00:09:31.100 --> 00:09:32.139
 In Matthew's account,

00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:34.659
 we find all of your mind,

00:09:34.779 --> 00:09:35.779
 and in Mark's account,

00:09:35.899 --> 00:09:37.399
 we find all of your mind

00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:38.720
 and strength.

00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:40.879
 And I'll address that apparent discrepancy

00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:41.639
 here in a second.

00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:43.379
 But this was certainly

00:09:43.379 --> 00:09:44.360
 the most precious

00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:45.740
 of Jewish scriptures.

00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:47.299
 They would have said this

00:09:47.299 --> 00:09:48.379
 at least twice a day.

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:49.360
 They had it written

00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:50.579
 on their doorposts,

00:09:50.579 --> 00:09:51.419
 and the Pharisees

00:09:51.419 --> 00:09:52.419
 literally wore it

00:09:52.419 --> 00:09:53.500
 on their foreheads

00:09:53.500 --> 00:09:54.940
 and tiny scrolls rolled up

00:09:54.940 --> 00:09:56.659
 in their phylacteries.

00:09:57.259 --> 00:09:58.080
 So it was already

00:09:58.080 --> 00:09:59.100
 a strong candidate

00:09:59.100 --> 00:10:00.419
 for the great command

00:10:00.419 --> 00:10:01.759
 in the Jewish mind.

00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:03.679
 Now as we look at this,

00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:04.460
 I don't want to focus

00:10:04.460 --> 00:10:06.279
 on the love part just yet,

00:10:06.379 --> 00:10:07.220
 but I'd like to look at

00:10:07.220 --> 00:10:08.179
 some other aspects

00:10:08.179 --> 00:10:09.399
 of this text.

00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:10.620
 So firstly,

00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:11.940
 let's briefly unpack

00:10:11.940 --> 00:10:12.720
 what we are supposed

00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:14.399
 to love God with.

00:10:14.940 --> 00:10:15.940
 Our heart

00:10:15.940 --> 00:10:16.940
 and our soul

00:10:16.940 --> 00:10:18.259
 and this third thing,

00:10:18.379 --> 00:10:19.000
 either strength,

00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:19.820
 mind,

00:10:19.820 --> 00:10:20.680
 or mind,

00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:22.060
 and strength.

00:10:22.620 --> 00:10:23.420
 Before we do this,

00:10:23.460 --> 00:10:24.340
 I want to recommend

00:10:24.340 --> 00:10:26.800
 the series

00:10:26.800 --> 00:10:28.040
 by the Bible Project,

00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:29.440
 which some of you

00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:30.440
 are probably familiar with

00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:31.260
 on the Shema.

00:10:31.780 --> 00:10:33.080
 It's kind of a word study

00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:33.660
 on some of these

00:10:33.660 --> 00:10:34.280
 different words.

00:10:34.340 --> 00:10:34.879
 It's where I got

00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:36.280
 a lot of the information here.

00:10:36.740 --> 00:10:37.300
 But of course,

00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:38.100
 the videos add

00:10:38.100 --> 00:10:39.379
 some visual aids as well.

00:10:40.260 --> 00:10:40.920
 So firstly,

00:10:41.520 --> 00:10:42.100
 loving God

00:10:42.100 --> 00:10:43.300
 with our heart.

00:10:44.040 --> 00:10:45.080
 The Jewish people

00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:46.240
 understood this concept

00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:46.840
 differently

00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:47.780
 than the modern

00:10:47.780 --> 00:10:48.860
 American understanding

00:10:48.860 --> 00:10:49.580
 of the heart.

00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:50.320
 Typically,

00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:51.460
 when we say heart,

00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:53.019
 we primarily are referring

00:10:53.019 --> 00:10:54.039
 to our feelings

00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:55.960
 or our affections.

00:10:56.419 --> 00:10:56.960
 And while the Hebrew

00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:58.120
 understanding would have

00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:00.580
 included these two things,

00:11:00.860 --> 00:11:01.259
 it would have

00:11:01.259 --> 00:11:01.899
 accomplished,

00:11:02.259 --> 00:11:03.220
 accomplished,

00:11:03.419 --> 00:11:03.779
 encompass,

00:11:04.060 --> 00:11:04.300
 sorry,

00:11:04.539 --> 00:11:05.200
 much more.

00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:07.100
 In the words of Tim Mackey,

00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:08.460
 the Israelites would have

00:11:08.460 --> 00:11:09.340
 had no concept

00:11:09.340 --> 00:11:10.200
 of the brain

00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:11.159
 or mind

00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:12.180
 or even any word

00:11:12.180 --> 00:11:12.620
 for it.

00:11:12.920 --> 00:11:13.620
 They imagine

00:11:13.620 --> 00:11:14.519
 that all humans'

00:11:14.740 --> 00:11:15.759
 intellectual activity

00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:16.620
 takes place

00:11:16.620 --> 00:11:18.480
 in the heart.

00:11:18.860 --> 00:11:20.180
 So this is likely

00:11:20.180 --> 00:11:21.580
 why both New Testament

00:11:21.580 --> 00:11:22.440
 accounts add

00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:23.340
 the word mind.

00:11:23.940 --> 00:11:24.480
 The Greeks

00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:25.340
 had a concept

00:11:25.340 --> 00:11:26.240
 of the mind

00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:26.980
 somewhat separate

00:11:26.980 --> 00:11:27.639
 from the heart

00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:28.680
 while the Hebrew

00:11:28.680 --> 00:11:30.279
 language did not.

00:11:30.680 --> 00:11:31.659
 And I was curious

00:11:31.659 --> 00:11:32.340
 about this

00:11:32.340 --> 00:11:33.680
 because I had

00:11:33.680 --> 00:11:34.639
 heard this claim

00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:35.840
 and so I went

00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:36.440
 through my little

00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:37.539
 Blue Letter Bible app

00:11:37.539 --> 00:11:38.580
 and was looking

00:11:38.580 --> 00:11:39.620
 for the Old Testament

00:11:39.620 --> 00:11:41.379
 references to mind

00:11:41.379 --> 00:11:43.659
 and I couldn't find

00:11:43.659 --> 00:11:45.039
 any where the actual

00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:46.060
 Hebrew language

00:11:46.060 --> 00:11:47.220
 used the word mind.

00:11:47.220 --> 00:11:48.700
 oftentimes it would

00:11:48.700 --> 00:11:49.139
 have been more

00:11:49.139 --> 00:11:50.160
 literally translated

00:11:50.160 --> 00:11:51.279
 as some other

00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:52.899
 part of the body

00:11:52.899 --> 00:11:53.759
 or sometimes

00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:55.519
 a better translation

00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:56.180
 might have been

00:11:56.180 --> 00:11:58.279
 heart in that case.

00:11:58.980 --> 00:11:59.940
 So this means

00:11:59.940 --> 00:12:00.820
 that we can know

00:12:00.820 --> 00:12:01.800
 something with our

00:12:01.800 --> 00:12:02.240
 hearts.

00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:03.200
 As the book of

00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:04.180
 Proverbs says,

00:12:04.379 --> 00:12:05.560
 wisdom and discernment

00:12:05.560 --> 00:12:06.500
 come from the heart

00:12:06.500 --> 00:12:07.620
 and we know that

00:12:07.620 --> 00:12:08.379
 it's the source

00:12:08.379 --> 00:12:09.160
 of our choices

00:12:09.160 --> 00:12:10.360
 and desires

00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:11.700
 in the biblical context.

00:12:11.899 --> 00:12:12.940
 Like the phrases

00:12:12.940 --> 00:12:14.180
 that we desire

00:12:14.180 --> 00:12:15.259
 something in our heart

00:12:15.259 --> 00:12:16.419
 or we had it

00:12:16.419 --> 00:12:16.960
 in our heart

00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:17.840
 to make this

00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:19.059
 or that choice

00:12:19.059 --> 00:12:19.919
 as we see

00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:20.500
 in scripture.

00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:21.899
 So we can understand

00:12:21.899 --> 00:12:22.360
 the heart

00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:23.980
 as the all-encompassing

00:12:23.980 --> 00:12:25.179
 essence of our

00:12:25.179 --> 00:12:25.960
 inner being.

00:12:26.460 --> 00:12:27.200
 The source of our

00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:28.019
 physical life,

00:12:28.139 --> 00:12:28.759
 our emotions,

00:12:29.340 --> 00:12:30.120
 our desires,

00:12:30.299 --> 00:12:30.919
 our choices

00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.460
 and our thoughts.

00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:34.779
 So to love God

00:12:34.779 --> 00:12:35.720
 with our heart

00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:36.600
 is much more

00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:37.259
 than just

00:12:37.259 --> 00:12:38.639
 our feelings

00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:39.620
 and affections

00:12:39.620 --> 00:12:40.659
 but our entire

00:12:40.659 --> 00:12:41.299
 inner being.

00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:42.639
 So next

00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:43.139
 let's look at

00:12:43.139 --> 00:12:44.340
 the word soul.

00:12:45.179 --> 00:12:45.519
 Again,

00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:46.080
 when we think

00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:46.860
 of the word soul

00:12:46.860 --> 00:12:47.759
 we tend to think

00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:48.539
 a little bit differently

00:12:48.539 --> 00:12:49.600
 than how the Hebrew

00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:51.220
 authors would have

00:12:51.220 --> 00:12:52.419
 written it

00:12:52.419 --> 00:12:53.620
 and thought about it.

00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:54.319
 Typically,

00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:55.960
 we kind of defer

00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:57.319
 back to the Greek

00:12:57.319 --> 00:12:58.620
 philosophical concept

00:12:58.620 --> 00:12:59.319
 of the soul

00:12:59.319 --> 00:13:00.259
 which is like

00:13:00.259 --> 00:13:01.360
 this non-physical

00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:01.899
 essence

00:13:01.899 --> 00:13:03.659
 which will be

00:13:03.659 --> 00:13:04.500
 released from

00:13:04.500 --> 00:13:05.340
 its imprisonment

00:13:05.340 --> 00:13:06.100
 in our body

00:13:06.100 --> 00:13:07.460
 upon our death.

00:13:07.819 --> 00:13:08.600
 Now this is not

00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:09.779
 what the word means

00:13:09.779 --> 00:13:10.480
 in Hebrew

00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:11.460
 and it's not

00:13:11.460 --> 00:13:12.200
 what the Hebrew

00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:12.680
 authors

00:13:12.680 --> 00:13:13.899
 how they would

00:13:13.899 --> 00:13:14.379
 have put it

00:13:14.379 --> 00:13:15.180
 in Shema.

00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:16.300
 Literally,

00:13:16.500 --> 00:13:17.039
 this word

00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:17.920
 the Hebrew

00:13:17.920 --> 00:13:18.779
 is nefesh

00:13:18.779 --> 00:13:19.680
 and it means

00:13:19.680 --> 00:13:20.180
 throat

00:13:20.180 --> 00:13:21.360
 but just like

00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:21.860
 the concept

00:13:21.860 --> 00:13:22.440
 of the heart

00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:23.100
 has both

00:13:23.100 --> 00:13:23.519
 physical

00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:24.680
 and deeper

00:13:24.680 --> 00:13:25.779
 metaphorical meaning.

00:13:26.220 --> 00:13:26.779
 It can refer

00:13:26.779 --> 00:13:27.620
 to the person

00:13:27.620 --> 00:13:29.019
 as a whole.

00:13:29.460 --> 00:13:29.940
 Both humans

00:13:29.940 --> 00:13:30.519
 and animals

00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:31.620
 are spoken of

00:13:31.620 --> 00:13:32.360
 as living

00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:33.000
 nefesh

00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:33.779
 or souls

00:13:33.779 --> 00:13:34.639
 and once

00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:35.580
 something dies

00:13:35.580 --> 00:13:36.539
 it is a

00:13:36.539 --> 00:13:37.659
 dead nefesh

00:13:37.659 --> 00:13:38.980
 which we don't

00:13:38.980 --> 00:13:39.360
 really have

00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:39.819
 the concept

00:13:39.819 --> 00:13:40.459
 of a dead

00:13:40.459 --> 00:13:40.919
 soul

00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:41.919
 in the

00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:42.199
 American

00:13:42.199 --> 00:13:42.600
 mind.

00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:43.919
 So we don't

00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:44.860
 have a nefesh

00:13:44.860 --> 00:13:45.459
 or a soul

00:13:45.459 --> 00:13:46.259
 rather we

00:13:46.259 --> 00:13:47.339
 are a soul

00:13:47.339 --> 00:13:48.079
 a physical

00:13:48.079 --> 00:13:48.559
 being

00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:49.620
 so to love

00:13:49.620 --> 00:13:50.159
 God with

00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:50.799
 all our soul

00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:51.379
 in the sense

00:13:51.379 --> 00:13:52.000
 is to do

00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:52.639
 so with all

00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:53.379
 of our being

00:13:53.379 --> 00:13:54.279
 all of our

00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:54.759
 body

00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:56.120
 our personhood

00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:57.199
 or our

00:13:57.199 --> 00:13:57.740
 essence.

00:13:59.179 --> 00:14:00.019
 So next

00:14:00.019 --> 00:14:00.419
 let's look

00:14:00.419 --> 00:14:00.879
 at the word

00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:01.659
 strength.

00:14:02.579 --> 00:14:03.659
 Of the three

00:14:03.659 --> 00:14:04.459
 this is probably

00:14:04.459 --> 00:14:05.039
 the worst

00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:05.699
 translated

00:14:05.699 --> 00:14:06.919
 into English.

00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:07.799
 So in the

00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:08.059
 Hebrew

00:14:08.059 --> 00:14:09.099
 this word

00:14:09.099 --> 00:14:09.539
 is

00:14:09.539 --> 00:14:10.139
 miod

00:14:10.139 --> 00:14:11.039
 literally

00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:12.000
 it means

00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:12.620
 very

00:14:12.620 --> 00:14:14.799
 or much

00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:15.360
 it's an

00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:16.019
 adverb

00:14:16.019 --> 00:14:17.099
 specifically

00:14:17.099 --> 00:14:18.199
 an intensifier

00:14:18.199 --> 00:14:18.959
 so it makes

00:14:18.959 --> 00:14:19.860
 another word

00:14:19.860 --> 00:14:20.879
 mean more

00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:21.439
 of itself

00:14:21.439 --> 00:14:21.939
 like

00:14:21.939 --> 00:14:22.740
 very

00:14:22.740 --> 00:14:23.339
 big.

00:14:24.339 --> 00:14:24.759
 So a better

00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:25.759
 translation might

00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:26.339
 be with all

00:14:26.339 --> 00:14:26.620
 of our

00:14:26.620 --> 00:14:27.120
 umph

00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:27.860
 our power

00:14:27.860 --> 00:14:28.439
 gumption

00:14:28.439 --> 00:14:29.120
 fervency

00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:30.039
 or zealousness

00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:31.240
 but again

00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:31.939
 Tim Mackey

00:14:31.939 --> 00:14:32.959
 prefers with all

00:14:32.959 --> 00:14:33.339
 of our

00:14:33.339 --> 00:14:34.079
 muchness.

00:14:34.299 --> 00:14:34.740
 He says

00:14:34.740 --> 00:14:35.860
 this final

00:14:35.860 --> 00:14:36.500
 thing that you

00:14:36.500 --> 00:14:37.039
 used to love

00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:37.840
 God isn't

00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:38.419
 a thing

00:14:38.419 --> 00:14:39.080
 at all

00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:39.519
 it's

00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:40.080
 everything

00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:41.080
 devoting

00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:41.360
 every

00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:41.980
 opportunity

00:14:41.980 --> 00:14:42.860
 possibility

00:14:42.860 --> 00:14:43.340
 and

00:14:43.340 --> 00:14:43.840
 capacity

00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:44.720
 that you

00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:45.299
 have to

00:14:45.299 --> 00:14:45.679
 honoring

00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:46.220
 God.

00:14:46.659 --> 00:14:47.220
 This word

00:14:47.220 --> 00:14:47.620
 again is

00:14:47.620 --> 00:14:47.879
 all

00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:48.659
 encompassing

00:14:48.659 --> 00:14:49.259
 and implies

00:14:49.259 --> 00:14:49.740
 that every

00:14:49.740 --> 00:14:50.360
 single part

00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:50.600
 of our

00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:50.980
 life

00:14:50.980 --> 00:14:51.759
 gives us

00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:52.360
 an opportunity

00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:53.200
 to demonstrate

00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:54.039
 love to

00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:54.379
 God

00:14:54.379 --> 00:14:55.360
 or as Paul

00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:55.860
 says in

00:14:55.860 --> 00:14:56.500
 1 Corinthians

00:14:56.500 --> 00:14:56.899
 10

00:14:56.899 --> 00:14:57.679
 whether you

00:14:57.679 --> 00:14:58.320
 eat or

00:14:58.320 --> 00:14:59.039
 drink or

00:14:59.039 --> 00:14:59.539
 whatever you

00:14:59.539 --> 00:14:59.820
 do

00:14:59.820 --> 00:15:00.360
 do all

00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:00.700
 to the

00:15:00.700 --> 00:15:01.019
 glory

00:15:01.019 --> 00:15:01.879
 of God.

00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:03.120
 So to sum

00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:03.500
 this up

00:15:03.500 --> 00:15:03.759
 I'd like

00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:04.120
 to read

00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:04.559
 a Matthew

00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:04.899
 Henry

00:15:04.899 --> 00:15:05.299
 quote

00:15:05.299 --> 00:15:06.500
 which

00:15:06.500 --> 00:15:07.860
 again sums

00:15:07.860 --> 00:15:08.159
 up this

00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:08.659
 idea of

00:15:08.659 --> 00:15:09.240
 loving God

00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:09.779
 with all

00:15:09.779 --> 00:15:10.080
 of these

00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:10.500
 things.

00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:11.120
 He says

00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:12.039
 we must

00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:12.379
 highly

00:15:12.379 --> 00:15:12.919
 esteem

00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:13.200
 him

00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:13.940
 be well

00:15:13.940 --> 00:15:14.379
 pleased

00:15:14.379 --> 00:15:14.759
 that there

00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:15.259
 is such

00:15:15.259 --> 00:15:15.720
 a being

00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:16.799
 well pleased

00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:17.159
 in his

00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:17.779
 attributes

00:15:17.779 --> 00:15:18.320
 his

00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:18.779
 relations

00:15:18.779 --> 00:15:19.440
 to us

00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:20.139
 our

00:15:20.139 --> 00:15:20.639
 desire

00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:21.080
 must be

00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:21.419
 towards

00:15:21.419 --> 00:15:21.679
 him

00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:21.899
 our

00:15:21.899 --> 00:15:22.460
 delight

00:15:22.460 --> 00:15:22.820
 in

00:15:22.820 --> 00:15:23.080
 him

00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:23.340
 our

00:15:23.340 --> 00:15:23.840
 dependence

00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:24.379
 upon

00:15:24.379 --> 00:15:24.720
 him

00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:25.399
 and to

00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:25.639
 him

00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:26.039
 we must

00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:26.200
 be

00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:26.580
 entirely

00:15:26.580 --> 00:15:27.019
 devoted.

00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:28.019
 It must

00:15:28.019 --> 00:15:28.299
 be a

00:15:28.299 --> 00:15:28.659
 constant

00:15:28.659 --> 00:15:29.060
 pleasure

00:15:29.060 --> 00:15:29.519
 to us

00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:29.860
 to think

00:15:29.860 --> 00:15:30.200
 of him

00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:30.879
 to hear

00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:31.320
 from him

00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:31.840
 to speak

00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:32.259
 to him

00:15:32.259 --> 00:15:32.899
 and to

00:15:32.899 --> 00:15:33.179
 serve

00:15:33.179 --> 00:15:33.440
 him

00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:34.320
 we must

00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:34.720
 love

00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:35.000
 him.

00:15:35.899 --> 00:15:36.360
 Secondly

00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:36.799
 I'd like

00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:37.200
 to look at

00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:37.980
 another aspect

00:15:37.980 --> 00:15:38.379
 of the

00:15:38.379 --> 00:15:38.639
 Shema

00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:40.379
 the concept

00:15:40.379 --> 00:15:40.879
 of

00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:41.460
 unity.

00:15:42.059 --> 00:15:42.500
 So while

00:15:42.500 --> 00:15:42.759
 it may

00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:43.019
 not

00:15:43.019 --> 00:15:43.600
 appear

00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:44.740
 glaringly

00:15:44.740 --> 00:15:45.019
 on the

00:15:45.019 --> 00:15:45.439
 surface

00:15:45.439 --> 00:15:46.259
 the concept

00:15:46.259 --> 00:15:46.740
 of unity

00:15:46.740 --> 00:15:47.659
 is in

00:15:47.659 --> 00:15:48.159
 the center

00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:48.919
 of this

00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:49.360
 command.

00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:50.279
 So listen

00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:50.519
 to the

00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:51.039
 words from

00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:51.700
 Deuteronomy

00:15:51.700 --> 00:15:52.200
 which are

00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:52.639
 included

00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:53.000
 in our

00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:53.340
 text

00:15:53.340 --> 00:15:53.740
 that are

00:15:53.740 --> 00:15:54.179
 found

00:15:54.179 --> 00:15:54.559
 in

00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:55.100
 Mark's

00:15:55.100 --> 00:15:55.519
 rendering.

00:15:56.059 --> 00:15:56.480
 Before

00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:56.919
 this

00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:57.279
 command

00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:57.679
 that Jesus

00:15:57.679 --> 00:15:58.120
 refers

00:15:58.120 --> 00:15:58.539
 to

00:15:58.539 --> 00:15:59.340
 we have

00:15:59.340 --> 00:15:59.799
 this

00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:00.620
 preface

00:16:00.620 --> 00:16:00.919
 of these

00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:01.179
 words

00:16:01.179 --> 00:16:01.580
 before

00:16:01.580 --> 00:16:02.439
 hear

00:16:02.439 --> 00:16:02.740
 O

00:16:02.740 --> 00:16:03.259
 Israel

00:16:03.259 --> 00:16:03.679
 the

00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:04.039
 Lord

00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:04.320
 is

00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:04.500
 our

00:16:04.500 --> 00:16:04.899
 God

00:16:04.899 --> 00:16:05.299
 the

00:16:05.299 --> 00:16:05.659
 Lord

00:16:05.659 --> 00:16:06.059
 is

00:16:06.059 --> 00:16:06.440
 one.

00:16:07.539 --> 00:16:07.740
 While

00:16:07.740 --> 00:16:07.879
 in

00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:08.419
 isolation

00:16:08.419 --> 00:16:08.980
 this

00:16:08.980 --> 00:16:09.600
 oneness

00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:10.259
 or unity

00:16:10.259 --> 00:16:11.179
 in the

00:16:11.179 --> 00:16:11.519
 person

00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:12.019
 of God

00:16:12.019 --> 00:16:12.580
 may seem

00:16:12.580 --> 00:16:12.960
 like it's

00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:13.500
 insignificant.

00:16:14.139 --> 00:16:14.500
 But once

00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:15.000
 we place

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:15.519
 this next

00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:15.960
 to our

00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:16.720
 disunity

00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:17.039
 or

00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:17.980
 disintegration

00:16:17.980 --> 00:16:18.259
 of the

00:16:18.259 --> 00:16:18.580
 self

00:16:18.580 --> 00:16:19.539
 it takes

00:16:19.539 --> 00:16:20.240
 on a

00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:20.700
 new meaning.

00:16:21.259 --> 00:16:21.600
 So I'd like

00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:22.019
 to look at

00:16:22.019 --> 00:16:22.360
 a couple

00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:22.879
 of passages

00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:23.679
 that demonstrate

00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:24.099
 this.

00:16:24.500 --> 00:16:24.979
 Firstly

00:16:24.979 --> 00:16:25.699
 James

00:16:25.699 --> 00:16:26.039
 chapter

00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:26.419
 three.

00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:26.959
 You can

00:16:26.959 --> 00:16:27.139
 turn

00:16:27.139 --> 00:16:27.299
 there

00:16:27.299 --> 00:16:27.519
 if you

00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:27.739
 want

00:16:27.739 --> 00:16:27.919
 to

00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:28.139
 but

00:16:28.139 --> 00:16:28.299
 you

00:16:28.299 --> 00:16:28.379
 can

00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:28.559
 just

00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:28.859
 listen.

00:16:29.939 --> 00:16:30.500
 James

00:16:30.500 --> 00:16:30.839
 three

00:16:30.839 --> 00:16:31.339
 it says

00:16:31.339 --> 00:16:32.219
 verse

00:16:32.219 --> 00:16:32.539
 eight

00:16:32.539 --> 00:16:33.620
 no human

00:16:33.620 --> 00:16:33.979
 being

00:16:33.979 --> 00:16:34.439
 can tame

00:16:34.439 --> 00:16:34.899
 the tongue

00:16:34.899 --> 00:16:35.539
 it is a

00:18:13.220 --> 00:18:14.000
 God

00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:14.179

00:18:14.179 --> 00:18:14.639
 perfectly

00:18:14.639 --> 00:18:15.159
 effective

00:18:15.159 --> 00:18:15.559
 in

00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:15.859
 every

00:18:15.859 --> 00:18:16.379
 action

00:18:16.379 --> 00:18:16.839
 we

00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:17.019
 are

00:18:17.019 --> 00:18:17.500
 woefully

00:18:17.500 --> 00:18:18.179
 disparate

00:18:18.179 --> 00:18:18.439
 and

00:18:18.439 --> 00:18:19.019
 disjointed

00:18:19.019 --> 00:18:19.659
 but

00:18:19.659 --> 00:18:19.859
 the

00:18:21.639 --> 00:18:21.799
 this

00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:22.079
 adds

 yet

00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:22.579
 another

 at

 to

 remind

 themselves

 never

 something

00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:19.380
 much

00:19:50.460 --> 00:19:50.980
 in

00:19:50.980 --> 00:19:51.259
 John

00:19:51.259 --> 00:19:51.740
 14

00:19:51.740 --> 00:19:52.180
 15

00:19:52.180 --> 00:19:53.059
 if

00:19:53.059 --> 00:19:53.240
 you

00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:53.500
 love

00:19:53.500 --> 00:19:53.740
 me

00:19:53.740 --> 00:19:54.000
 you

00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:54.180
 will

00:19:54.180 --> 00:19:54.360
 keep

00:19:54.360 --> 00:19:54.579
 my

00:19:54.579 --> 00:19:55.140
 commandments

00:19:55.140 --> 00:19:55.880
 now

00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:56.120
 this

00:19:56.120 --> 00:19:56.440
 phrase

00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:56.640
 is

00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:56.980
 repeated

00:19:56.980 --> 00:19:57.180
 in

00:19:57.180 --> 00:19:57.460
 one

00:19:57.460 --> 00:19:57.819
 form

00:19:57.819 --> 00:19:57.960
 or

00:20:01.220 --> 00:20:01.940
 15

00:20:01.940 --> 00:20:02.660
 of

00:20:02.660 --> 00:20:03.700
 John's

00:20:03.700 --> 00:20:04.120
 gospel

00:20:04.120 --> 00:20:04.660
 alone

00:20:04.660 --> 00:20:05.299
 so

00:20:05.299 --> 00:20:05.700
 loving

00:20:05.700 --> 00:20:06.160
 God

00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:06.620
 means

00:20:06.620 --> 00:20:07.039
 keeping

00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:07.480
 his

00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:08.279
 commandments

00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:08.700
 now

00:20:08.700 --> 00:20:09.039
 it's

00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:09.279
 not

00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:09.559
 just

00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:09.860
 this

00:20:09.860 --> 00:20:10.299
 outward

00:20:10.299 --> 00:20:10.720
 thing

00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:10.980
 but

00:20:10.980 --> 00:20:11.259
 it's

00:20:11.259 --> 00:20:11.460
 the

00:20:11.460 --> 00:20:11.819
 outward

00:20:11.819 --> 00:20:12.660
 manifestation

00:20:12.660 --> 00:20:13.460
 of

00:20:13.460 --> 00:20:13.660
 the

00:20:13.660 --> 00:20:14.039
 love

00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:14.440
 that's

00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:14.819
 occurring

00:20:14.819 --> 00:20:15.299
 on

00:20:15.299 --> 00:20:15.620
 the

00:20:15.620 --> 00:20:16.100
 inside

00:20:16.100 --> 00:20:17.740
 this

00:20:17.740 --> 00:20:18.500
 by itself

00:20:18.500 --> 00:20:19.120
 may seem

00:20:19.120 --> 00:20:19.519
 like it's

00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:19.900
 a plea

00:20:19.900 --> 00:20:20.420
 for a

00:20:20.420 --> 00:20:20.759
 dry

00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:21.360
 piety

00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:21.980
 a

00:20:21.980 --> 00:20:22.700
 legalistic

00:20:22.700 --> 00:20:23.000
 or

00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:23.519
 robotic

00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:24.019
 type

00:20:24.019 --> 00:20:24.220
 of

00:20:24.220 --> 00:20:24.519
 living

00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:25.440
 however

00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:25.799
 in the

00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:26.259
 context

00:20:26.259 --> 00:20:26.579
 of what

00:20:26.579 --> 00:20:26.920
 we have

00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:27.500
 observed

00:20:27.500 --> 00:20:27.860
 in the

00:20:27.860 --> 00:20:28.120
 Shema

00:20:28.120 --> 00:20:28.779
 consider

00:20:28.779 --> 00:20:29.200
 what it

00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:29.460
 means

00:20:29.460 --> 00:20:29.860
 for us

00:20:29.860 --> 00:20:30.339
 to obey

00:20:30.339 --> 00:20:30.779
 God's

00:20:30.779 --> 00:20:31.180
 commands

00:20:31.180 --> 00:20:31.920
 every

00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:32.360
 last

00:20:32.360 --> 00:20:32.799
 one

00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:33.120
 with

00:20:33.120 --> 00:20:33.299
 all

00:20:33.299 --> 00:20:33.440
 of

00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:33.560
 our

00:20:33.560 --> 00:20:33.920
 heart

00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:34.460
 our

00:20:34.460 --> 00:20:34.980
 soul

00:20:34.980 --> 00:20:35.259
 and

00:20:35.259 --> 00:20:35.400
 our

00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:36.000
 muchness

00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:36.519
 all

00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:36.640
 our

00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:37.240
 affections

00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:37.700
 emotions

00:20:37.700 --> 00:20:38.460
 desires

00:20:38.460 --> 00:20:39.240
 choices

00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:39.960
 physical

00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:40.460
 body

00:20:40.460 --> 00:20:41.200
 mental

00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:41.720
 energy

00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:42.279
 essence

00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:42.519
 and

00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:43.080
 fervency

00:20:43.080 --> 00:20:43.720
 united

00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:44.200
 together

00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:44.759
 to keep

00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:44.980
 his

00:20:44.980 --> 00:20:45.460
 commands

00:20:45.460 --> 00:20:46.299
 since

00:20:46.299 --> 00:20:46.940
 they are

00:20:46.940 --> 00:20:47.740
 the desired

00:20:47.740 --> 00:20:48.259
 expression

00:20:48.259 --> 00:20:48.700
 of our

00:20:48.700 --> 00:20:49.140
 love

00:20:49.140 --> 00:20:49.620
 for

00:20:49.620 --> 00:20:49.920
 God

00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:51.140
 first

00:20:51.140 --> 00:20:51.480
 John

00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:51.680
 the

00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:52.039
 passage

00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:52.360
 that we

00:20:52.360 --> 00:20:52.700
 just read

00:20:52.700 --> 00:20:53.039
 earlier

00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:53.480
 said that

00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:53.680
 these

00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:54.200
 commands

00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:54.660
 would not

00:20:54.660 --> 00:20:54.900
 be

00:20:54.900 --> 00:20:56.039
 burdensome

00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:56.240
 and

00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:56.480
 Jesus

00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:56.940
 says

00:20:56.940 --> 00:20:57.259
 here

00:20:57.259 --> 00:20:57.480
 in

00:20:57.480 --> 00:20:57.759
 John

00:20:57.759 --> 00:20:58.500
 15

00:20:58.500 --> 00:20:59.279
 in

00:20:59.279 --> 00:20:59.620
 the same

00:20:59.620 --> 00:21:00.000
 chunk of

00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:00.340
 teaching

00:21:00.339 --> 00:21:01.220
 if you

00:21:01.220 --> 00:21:01.399
 keep

00:21:01.399 --> 00:21:01.579
 my

00:21:01.579 --> 00:21:01.959
 commands

00:21:01.959 --> 00:21:02.119
 you

00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:02.259
 will

00:21:02.259 --> 00:21:02.480
 abide

00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:02.599
 in

00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:02.740
 my

00:21:02.740 --> 00:21:03.119
 love

00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:03.779
 these

00:21:03.779 --> 00:21:04.079
 things

00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:04.240
 I

00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:04.379
 have

00:21:04.379 --> 00:21:04.720
 spoken

00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:04.980
 to

00:21:04.980 --> 00:21:05.220
 you

00:21:05.220 --> 00:21:05.839
 that

00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:06.099
 my

00:21:06.099 --> 00:21:06.399
 joy

00:21:06.399 --> 00:21:06.639
 may

00:21:06.639 --> 00:21:06.779
 be

00:21:06.779 --> 00:21:07.000
 in

00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:07.220
 you

00:21:07.220 --> 00:21:07.439
 and

00:21:07.439 --> 00:21:07.559
 that

00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:07.699
 your

00:21:07.699 --> 00:21:08.079
 joy

00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:08.419
 may

00:21:08.419 --> 00:21:08.579
 be

00:21:08.579 --> 00:21:08.939
 full

00:21:08.939 --> 00:21:09.619
 so

00:21:09.619 --> 00:21:09.819
 this

00:21:09.819 --> 00:21:10.279
 is not

00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:10.799
 dry

00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:11.139
 root

00:21:11.139 --> 00:21:11.639
 obedience

00:21:11.639 --> 00:21:12.220
 to avoid

00:21:12.220 --> 00:21:12.720
 punishment

00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:13.360
 like

00:21:13.360 --> 00:21:13.360


00:21:13.360 --> 00:21:13.360


00:21:13.360 --> 00:21:13.360


00:21:13.360 --> 00:21:13.539
 when

00:21:13.539 --> 00:21:13.660
 you're

00:21:13.660 --> 00:21:13.960
 watching

00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:14.319
 TV

00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:14.539
 or

00:21:14.539 --> 00:21:14.839
 playing

00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:15.160
 outside

00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:15.440
 as a

00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:15.720
 child

00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:15.900
 and

00:21:15.900 --> 00:21:16.039
 your

00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:16.220
 mom

00:21:16.220 --> 00:21:16.480
 tells

00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:16.600
 you

00:21:16.600 --> 00:21:16.720
 to

00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:16.920
 clean

00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:17.100
 your

00:21:17.100 --> 00:21:17.400
 room

00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:18.539
 rather

00:21:18.539 --> 00:21:19.000
 this

00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:19.180
 is

00:21:19.180 --> 00:21:19.500
 purpose

00:21:19.500 --> 00:21:20.059
 fulfilling

00:21:20.059 --> 00:21:21.100
 satisfying

00:21:21.100 --> 00:21:21.440
 joy

00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:21.700
 giving

00:21:21.700 --> 00:21:22.240
 action

00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:23.200
 rooted

00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:23.380
 in

00:21:23.380 --> 00:21:23.700
 deep

00:21:23.700 --> 00:21:24.180
 trust

00:21:24.180 --> 00:21:24.559
 in

00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:24.740
 the

00:21:24.740 --> 00:21:24.980
 rule

00:21:24.980 --> 00:21:25.360
 giver

00:21:25.360 --> 00:21:25.920
 that

00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:26.160
 he

00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:26.380
 has

00:21:26.380 --> 00:21:26.759
 designed

00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:27.079
 us

00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:27.559
 and

00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:27.880
 therefore

00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:28.279
 he

00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:28.900
 knows

00:21:28.900 --> 00:21:29.299
 what's

00:21:29.299 --> 00:21:29.640
 best

00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:29.880
 for

00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:30.140
 us

00:21:30.140 --> 00:21:30.519
 he

00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:30.700
 has

00:21:30.700 --> 00:21:31.200
 commanded

00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:31.640
 that

00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:32.019
 which

00:21:32.019 --> 00:21:32.339
 will

00:21:32.339 --> 00:21:32.600
 give

00:21:32.600 --> 00:21:32.759
 us

00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:32.900
 the

00:21:32.900 --> 00:21:33.120
 most

00:21:33.120 --> 00:21:33.480
 joy

00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:34.100
 and

00:21:34.100 --> 00:21:34.700
 satisfaction

00:21:34.700 --> 00:21:35.620
 so

00:21:35.620 --> 00:21:35.839
 this

00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:36.360
 concept

00:21:36.360 --> 00:21:36.620
 is

00:21:36.620 --> 00:21:36.779
 the

00:21:36.779 --> 00:21:37.100
 reason

00:21:37.100 --> 00:21:37.380
 for

00:21:37.380 --> 00:21:38.060
 David's

00:21:38.060 --> 00:21:38.460
 epic

00:21:38.460 --> 00:21:38.840
 psalm

00:21:38.840 --> 00:21:39.560
 119

00:21:39.560 --> 00:21:40.180
 which

00:21:40.180 --> 00:21:40.500
 over

00:21:40.500 --> 00:21:40.640
 and

00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:40.820
 over

00:21:40.820 --> 00:21:41.340
 demonstrate

00:21:41.340 --> 00:21:41.600
 his

00:21:41.600 --> 00:21:41.880
 deep

00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:42.260
 desire

00:21:42.260 --> 00:21:42.500
 to

00:21:42.500 --> 00:21:42.740
 know

00:21:42.740 --> 00:21:42.900
 and

00:21:42.900 --> 00:21:43.240
 obey

00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:43.700
 the

00:21:43.700 --> 00:21:44.340
 commands

00:21:44.340 --> 00:21:44.720
 of

00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:45.000
 God

00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:45.420
 now

00:21:45.420 --> 00:21:45.560
 I

00:21:45.560 --> 00:21:45.700
 could

00:21:45.700 --> 00:21:45.820
 have

00:21:45.820 --> 00:21:46.080
 chosen

00:21:46.080 --> 00:21:46.420
 any

00:21:46.420 --> 00:21:46.900
 stanza

00:21:46.900 --> 00:21:47.360
 to read

00:21:47.360 --> 00:21:47.680
 from

00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:47.880
 in

00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:48.460
 psalm

00:21:48.460 --> 00:21:49.160
 119

00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:50.100
 but

00:21:50.100 --> 00:21:50.280
 this

00:21:50.280 --> 00:21:50.420
 one

00:21:50.420 --> 00:21:50.680
 stuck

00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:50.880
 out

00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:51.200
 as I

00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:51.360
 was

00:21:51.360 --> 00:21:51.680
 beginning

00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:52.160
 to read

00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:52.440
 through

00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:52.660
 it

00:21:52.660 --> 00:21:53.540
 this

00:21:53.540 --> 00:21:53.660
 would

00:21:53.660 --> 00:21:53.760
 be

00:21:53.760 --> 00:21:53.880
 in

00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:54.140
 verses

00:21:54.140 --> 00:21:54.560
 9

00:21:54.560 --> 00:21:54.740
 through

00:21:54.740 --> 00:21:55.220
 16

00:21:55.220 --> 00:21:55.980
 this

00:21:55.980 --> 00:21:56.120
 is

00:21:56.120 --> 00:21:56.360
 again

00:21:56.360 --> 00:21:56.600
 just

00:21:56.600 --> 00:21:56.760
 an

00:21:56.760 --> 00:21:57.260
 example

00:21:57.260 --> 00:21:57.640
 of

00:21:57.640 --> 00:21:57.960
 this

00:21:57.960 --> 00:21:58.640
 connection

00:21:58.640 --> 00:21:59.240
 between

00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:00.020
 loving

00:22:00.020 --> 00:22:00.580
 God

00:22:00.580 --> 00:22:01.180
 and loving

00:22:01.180 --> 00:22:01.460
 his

00:22:01.460 --> 00:22:01.860
 word

00:22:01.860 --> 00:22:02.340
 and his

00:22:02.340 --> 00:22:02.920
 commands

00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:03.380
 and his

00:22:03.380 --> 00:22:04.400
 statutes

00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:04.780
 all

00:22:04.780 --> 00:22:05.640
 synonyms

00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:05.900
 for the

00:22:05.900 --> 00:22:06.080
 same

00:22:06.080 --> 00:22:06.480
 thing

00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:07.400
 so it

00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:07.860
 reads

00:22:07.860 --> 00:22:08.600
 how can

00:22:08.600 --> 00:22:08.900
 a young

00:22:08.900 --> 00:22:09.140
 man

00:22:09.140 --> 00:22:09.400
 keep

00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:09.540
 his

00:22:09.540 --> 00:22:09.740
 way

00:22:09.740 --> 00:22:10.060
 pure

00:22:10.060 --> 00:22:10.760
 by

00:22:10.760 --> 00:22:11.140
 guarding

00:22:11.140 --> 00:22:11.300
 it

00:22:11.300 --> 00:22:11.560
 according

00:22:11.560 --> 00:22:11.780
 to

00:22:11.780 --> 00:22:11.960
 your

00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:12.280
 word

00:22:12.280 --> 00:22:12.980
 with

00:22:12.980 --> 00:22:13.160
 my

00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:13.480
 whole

00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:13.760

00:22:13.760 --> 00:22:13.920
 I

00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:14.260
 seek

00:22:14.260 --> 00:22:14.500
 you

00:22:14.500 --> 00:22:14.980
 let

00:22:14.980 --> 00:22:15.120
 me

00:22:15.120 --> 00:22:15.340
 not

00:22:15.340 --> 00:22:15.740

00:22:15.740 --> 00:22:16.000
 from

00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:16.140
 your

00:22:16.140 --> 00:22:16.600
 commandments

00:22:16.600 --> 00:22:17.600
 I've

00:22:17.600 --> 00:22:17.780
 stored

00:22:17.780 --> 00:22:17.920
 up

00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:18.060
 your

00:22:18.060 --> 00:22:18.220
 word

00:22:18.220 --> 00:22:18.320
 in

00:22:18.320 --> 00:22:18.460
 my

00:22:18.460 --> 00:22:18.720
 heart

00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:18.940

00:22:18.940 --> 00:22:19.040
 I

00:22:19.040 --> 00:22:19.200
 might

00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:19.400
 not

00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:19.680
 sin

00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:20.000
 against

00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:20.360
 you

 declare

00:22:25.660 --> 00:22:25.960
 all

00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:26.140

 my

 your

 ways

00:22:35.220 --> 00:22:35.760
 I

00:22:35.760 --> 00:22:35.900
 will

00:22:35.900 --> 00:22:36.260
 delight

00:22:37.220 --> 00:22:37.680
 I

00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:37.980
 will

00:22:37.980 --> 00:22:38.300
 not

00:22:38.300 --> 00:22:38.820
 forget

00:22:38.820 --> 00:22:39.340
 your

00:22:39.340 --> 00:22:39.880
 word

00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:41.180
 some

00:22:41.180 --> 00:22:41.480
 of us

00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:41.860
 seriously

00:22:41.860 --> 00:22:42.200
 need to

00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:42.680
 question

00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:43.140
 whether

00:22:43.140 --> 00:22:43.460
 we

00:22:43.460 --> 00:22:43.960
 believe

00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:44.180
 what

00:22:44.180 --> 00:22:44.560
 David

00:22:44.560 --> 00:22:45.020
 believed

00:22:45.020 --> 00:22:45.260
 about

00:22:45.260 --> 00:22:45.720
 God's

00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:46.140
 commands

00:22:46.140 --> 00:22:46.880
 or if

00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:47.100
 our

00:22:47.100 --> 00:22:47.680
 understanding

00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:48.200
 is more

00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:48.760
 like a

00:22:48.760 --> 00:22:49.060
 child

00:22:49.060 --> 00:22:49.360
 being

00:22:49.360 --> 00:22:49.860
 required

00:22:49.860 --> 00:22:50.400
 to

00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:50.760
 clean

00:22:50.760 --> 00:22:51.020
 his

00:22:51.020 --> 00:22:51.180
 or

00:22:51.180 --> 00:22:51.380
 her

00:22:51.380 --> 00:22:51.660
 room

00:22:51.660 --> 00:22:52.960
 so

00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:53.100
 let's

00:22:53.100 --> 00:22:53.340
 look at

00:22:53.340 --> 00:22:53.520
 this

00:22:53.520 --> 00:22:53.920
 second

00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:54.560
 great

00:22:54.560 --> 00:22:54.980

00:22:54.980 --> 00:22:55.640
 love

00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:55.780
 your

00:22:55.780 --> 00:22:56.080
 neighbor

00:22:56.080 --> 00:22:57.120
 it'll

00:22:57.120 --> 00:22:57.320
 be a

00:22:57.320 --> 00:22:57.440
 bit

00:22:57.440 --> 00:22:57.740
 shorter

00:22:57.740 --> 00:22:59.940
 in

00:22:59.940 --> 00:23:00.300
 response

00:23:00.300 --> 00:23:00.580
 to the

00:23:00.580 --> 00:23:01.000
 question

00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:01.260
 on

00:23:01.260 --> 00:23:01.580
 which

00:23:01.580 --> 00:23:01.780
 do

00:23:01.780 --> 00:23:01.920
 all

00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:02.040
 the

00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:02.200
 other

00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:02.639

 Jesus

00:23:04.019 --> 00:23:04.680
 answers

00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:05.000
 with

00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:05.319
 two

00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:06.099
 the

00:23:06.099 --> 00:23:06.420
 second

00:23:06.420 --> 00:23:06.779
 love

00:23:06.779 --> 00:23:06.920
 your

 other

00:23:20.019 --> 00:23:20.379
 commands

00:23:20.379 --> 00:23:20.980
 are summed

00:23:20.980 --> 00:23:21.279
 up

00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:21.639
 in

00:23:21.639 --> 00:23:22.159
 these

00:23:22.159 --> 00:23:22.779
 words

00:23:22.779 --> 00:23:23.259
 all

00:23:23.259 --> 00:23:23.720
 commands

00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:24.059
 falling

00:23:25.379 --> 00:23:25.920
 categories

00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:26.920
 so

00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:27.220
 if

00:23:27.220 --> 00:23:27.379
 we're

00:23:29.259 --> 00:23:29.639
 yourself

00:23:29.639 --> 00:23:30.200
 we'll

00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:30.440
 be

00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:30.840
 fulfilling

 every

00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:31.660
 command

00:23:31.660 --> 00:23:31.920
 that

00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:32.420
 involves

00:23:32.420 --> 00:23:33.039
 relationship

00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:33.720
 with

 so

00:23:48.019 --> 00:23:48.420
 what

00:23:48.420 --> 00:23:48.620
 does

 have

00:23:51.120 --> 00:23:51.319
 used

00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:51.519
 it

00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:51.700
 to

00:23:51.700 --> 00:23:51.940
 say

00:23:51.940 --> 00:23:52.140
 that

00:23:52.140 --> 00:23:52.279
 we

00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:52.680
 can't

 love

00:23:53.500 --> 00:23:54.180
 others

00:23:54.180 --> 00:23:54.500
 until

 we

00:23:54.740 --> 00:23:55.120
 first

00:23:55.120 --> 00:23:55.559
 love

00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:56.559
 ourselves

00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:56.880
 the

00:23:56.880 --> 00:23:57.100
 thinking

00:23:57.100 --> 00:23:57.360
 goes

00:23:57.360 --> 00:23:57.559
 like

00:23:57.559 --> 00:23:57.900
 this

00:23:57.900 --> 00:23:58.380
 our

00:23:58.380 --> 00:23:58.880
 capacity

00:23:58.880 --> 00:23:59.240
 to

00:23:59.240 --> 00:23:59.460
 love

00:23:59.460 --> 00:23:59.840
 others

00:23:59.840 --> 00:24:00.060
 is

00:24:00.060 --> 00:24:00.680
 increased

00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:01.120
 as

00:24:01.120 --> 00:24:01.280
 our

00:24:01.280 --> 00:24:01.860
 capacity

00:24:01.860 --> 00:24:02.160
 to

00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:02.380
 love

00:24:02.380 --> 00:24:02.940
 ourselves

00:24:02.940 --> 00:24:03.519
 is

00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:04.220
 and

00:24:04.220 --> 00:24:04.320
 I

00:24:04.320 --> 00:24:04.460
 hope

00:24:04.460 --> 00:24:04.600
 that

00:24:04.600 --> 00:24:04.780
 this

00:24:04.780 --> 00:24:05.300
 backwards

00:24:05.300 --> 00:24:05.820
 and worldly

00:24:05.820 --> 00:24:06.240
 way of

00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:06.480
 thinking

00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:07.100
 is as

00:24:07.100 --> 00:24:07.500
 obvious

00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:07.960
 to you

00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:08.560
 as it

00:24:08.560 --> 00:24:08.840
 is

00:24:08.840 --> 00:24:09.280
 to me

00:24:09.280 --> 00:24:10.360
 the

00:24:10.360 --> 00:24:10.880
 assumption

00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:11.220
 of the

00:24:11.220 --> 00:24:11.460
 Hebrew

00:24:11.460 --> 00:24:11.860
 thinkers

00:24:11.860 --> 00:24:12.460
 was that

00:24:12.460 --> 00:24:12.860
 we already

00:24:12.860 --> 00:24:13.180
 knew

00:24:13.180 --> 00:24:13.620
 how to

00:24:13.620 --> 00:24:13.840
 love

00:24:13.840 --> 00:24:14.320
 ourselves

00:24:14.320 --> 00:24:15.080
 to meet

00:24:15.080 --> 00:24:15.320
 our

00:24:15.320 --> 00:24:15.600
 needs

00:24:15.600 --> 00:24:16.019
 first

00:24:16.019 --> 00:24:16.700
 and then

00:24:16.700 --> 00:24:17.080
 to take

00:24:17.080 --> 00:24:17.380
 care

00:24:17.380 --> 00:24:17.900
 of

00:24:17.900 --> 00:24:18.360
 others

00:24:18.360 --> 00:24:19.240
 the

00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:19.680
 ideas

00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:20.280
 of liking

00:24:20.280 --> 00:24:20.740
 who you

00:24:20.740 --> 00:24:21.040
 are

00:24:21.040 --> 00:24:21.680
 or treating

00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:22.180
 yourself

00:24:22.180 --> 00:24:22.800
 or the

00:24:22.800 --> 00:24:23.380
 apparent

00:24:23.380 --> 00:24:24.019
 importance

00:24:24.019 --> 00:24:24.500
 of self

00:24:24.500 --> 00:24:25.000
 esteem

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:25.960
 are relatively

00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:26.900
 new ideas

00:24:26.900 --> 00:24:27.540
 that only

00:24:27.540 --> 00:24:27.920
 seem to

00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:28.440
 be relevant

00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:29.280
 in extremely

00:24:29.280 --> 00:24:29.780
 affluent

00:24:29.780 --> 00:24:30.420
 and privileged

00:24:30.420 --> 00:24:31.060
 societies

00:24:31.060 --> 00:24:32.240
 like ours

00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:33.160
 poverty

00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:33.820
 and struggle

00:24:33.820 --> 00:24:34.180
 to make

00:24:34.180 --> 00:24:34.660
 ends meet

00:24:34.660 --> 00:24:35.040
 has been

00:24:35.040 --> 00:24:35.580
 the norm

00:24:35.580 --> 00:24:36.240
 not the

00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:36.720
 exception

00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:37.200
 throughout

00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:37.660
 history

00:24:37.660 --> 00:24:38.620
 when you're

00:24:38.620 --> 00:24:39.080
 worried about

00:24:39.080 --> 00:24:39.540
 getting food

00:24:39.540 --> 00:24:39.780
 on the

00:24:39.780 --> 00:24:40.019
 table

00:24:40.019 --> 00:24:40.360
 you don't

00:24:40.360 --> 00:24:40.820
 really have

00:24:40.820 --> 00:24:41.380
 the luxury

00:24:41.380 --> 00:24:42.500
 about whether

00:24:42.500 --> 00:24:42.860
 or not

00:24:42.860 --> 00:24:43.460
 you're fond

00:24:43.460 --> 00:24:43.940
 of your

00:24:43.940 --> 00:24:44.680
 personality

00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:46.240
 on the

00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:46.720
 contrary

00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:47.640
 the high

00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:48.100
 calling of

00:24:48.100 --> 00:24:48.519
 the Christian

00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:49.019
 life is

00:24:49.019 --> 00:24:49.640
 one of

00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:50.000
 self

00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:50.680
 sacrificial

00:24:50.680 --> 00:24:51.560
 love

00:24:51.560 --> 00:24:51.980
 and this

00:24:51.980 --> 00:24:52.640
 is demonstrated

00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:53.240
 to us

00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:53.640
 in the

00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:54.080
 person

00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:54.619
 of

00:24:54.619 --> 00:24:55.119
 Christ

00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:56.039
 we read

00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:56.460
 in 1

00:24:56.460 --> 00:24:57.199
 John 3

00:24:57.199 --> 00:24:58.019
 verse 16

00:24:58.019 --> 00:24:58.339
 and 8

00:24:58.339 --> 00:24:59.039
 through 18

00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:00.000
 by this

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:00.639
 we know

00:25:00.639 --> 00:25:01.159
 love

00:25:01.159 --> 00:25:01.539
 that he

00:25:01.539 --> 00:25:02.099
 laid down

00:25:02.099 --> 00:25:02.599
 his life

00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:03.119
 for us

00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:03.839
 and we

00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:04.199
 ought to

00:25:04.199 --> 00:25:04.519
 lay down

00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:05.119
 our lives

00:25:05.119 --> 00:25:05.799
 for the

00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:06.179
 brothers

00:25:06.179 --> 00:25:07.299
 if anyone

00:25:07.299 --> 00:25:07.759
 has the

00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:08.099
 world's

00:25:08.099 --> 00:25:08.439
 goods

00:25:08.439 --> 00:25:09.019
 and sees

00:25:09.019 --> 00:25:09.399
 his brother

00:25:09.399 --> 00:25:09.919
 in need

00:25:09.919 --> 00:25:10.859
 yet closes

00:25:10.859 --> 00:25:11.460
 his heart

00:25:11.460 --> 00:25:12.259
 against him

00:25:12.259 --> 00:25:13.079
 how does

00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:13.659
 God's love

00:25:13.659 --> 00:25:14.220
 abide in

00:25:14.220 --> 00:25:14.539
 him

00:25:14.539 --> 00:25:15.299
 little

00:25:15.299 --> 00:25:15.720
 children

00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:16.099
 let us

00:25:16.099 --> 00:25:16.619
 not love

00:25:16.619 --> 00:25:17.139
 in word

00:25:17.139 --> 00:25:17.579
 or in

00:25:17.579 --> 00:25:17.919
 talk

00:25:17.919 --> 00:25:18.339
 but in

00:25:18.339 --> 00:25:18.720
 deed

00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:19.139
 and in

00:25:19.139 --> 00:25:19.559
 truth

00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:20.759
 in

00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:21.159
 John's

00:25:21.159 --> 00:25:21.460
 mind

00:25:21.460 --> 00:25:21.940
 closing

00:25:21.940 --> 00:25:22.220
 your

00:25:22.220 --> 00:25:22.539
 heart

00:25:22.539 --> 00:25:23.039
 against

00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:23.240
 a

00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:23.559
 brother

00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:24.139
 has

00:25:24.139 --> 00:25:24.279
 been

00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:24.759
 equated

00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:25.079
 with

00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:25.480
 seeing

00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:25.859
 a need

00:25:25.859 --> 00:25:26.119
 that you

00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:26.279
 can

00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:26.740
 fulfill

00:25:26.740 --> 00:25:27.579
 and not

00:25:27.579 --> 00:25:27.919
 taking

00:25:27.919 --> 00:25:28.379
 action

00:25:28.379 --> 00:25:29.139
 what is

00:25:29.139 --> 00:25:29.440
 on the

00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:29.779
 inside

00:25:29.779 --> 00:25:30.119
 is

00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:30.619
 reflected

00:25:30.619 --> 00:25:31.179
 on

00:25:31.179 --> 00:25:31.500
 the

00:25:31.500 --> 00:25:32.019
 outside

00:25:32.019 --> 00:25:33.419
 Paul

00:25:33.419 --> 00:25:33.899
 describes

00:25:33.899 --> 00:25:34.460
 this idea

00:25:34.460 --> 00:25:35.339
 more specifically

00:25:35.339 --> 00:25:36.559
 in Philippians 2

00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:38.059
 that we ought to

00:25:38.059 --> 00:25:39.240
 count one another

00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:39.980
 more significant

00:25:39.980 --> 00:25:40.720
 than ourselves

00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:41.799
 looking after

00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:43.019
 other people's

00:25:43.019 --> 00:25:43.500
 interests

00:25:43.500 --> 00:25:44.319
 having the

00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:44.779
 mind of

00:25:44.779 --> 00:25:45.299
 Christ

00:25:45.299 --> 00:25:46.919
 who gave

00:25:46.919 --> 00:25:47.319
 up his

00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:47.899
 right to

00:25:47.899 --> 00:25:48.299
 maintain

00:25:48.299 --> 00:25:48.679
 the full

00:25:48.679 --> 00:25:49.159
 expression

00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:49.480
 of his

00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:49.820
 deity

00:25:49.820 --> 00:25:50.440
 by

00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:50.820
 veiling

00:25:50.820 --> 00:25:51.040
 his

00:25:51.040 --> 00:25:51.600
 attributes

00:25:51.600 --> 00:25:52.160
 appearing

00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:52.500
 as a

00:25:52.500 --> 00:25:52.860
 creature

00:25:52.860 --> 00:25:53.380
 rather than

00:25:53.380 --> 00:25:53.540
 the

00:25:53.540 --> 00:25:53.940
 creator

00:25:53.940 --> 00:25:54.800
 and even

00:25:54.800 --> 00:25:55.200
 lowering

00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:55.720
 himself

00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:56.100
 to be

00:25:56.100 --> 00:25:56.460
 served

00:25:56.460 --> 00:25:57.019
 and killed

00:25:57.019 --> 00:25:57.620
 by his

00:25:57.620 --> 00:25:57.980
 very

00:25:57.980 --> 00:25:58.600
 creation

00:25:58.600 --> 00:25:59.500
 and this

00:25:59.500 --> 00:25:59.820
 is the

00:25:59.820 --> 00:26:00.140
 model

00:26:00.140 --> 00:26:00.759
 for our

00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:01.100
 own

00:26:01.100 --> 00:26:01.560
 love

00:26:01.560 --> 00:26:02.779
 to love

00:26:02.779 --> 00:26:03.160
 the neighbor

00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:03.519
 as the

00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:03.840
 self

00:26:03.840 --> 00:26:04.240
 is to

00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:04.580
 give up

00:26:04.580 --> 00:26:04.840
 our

00:26:04.840 --> 00:26:05.380
 interests

00:26:05.380 --> 00:26:05.800
 our

00:26:05.800 --> 00:26:06.420
 desires

00:26:06.420 --> 00:26:07.519
 for the

00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:07.900
 sake

00:26:07.900 --> 00:26:08.880
 of others

00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:10.000
 God

00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:10.540
 simply

00:26:10.540 --> 00:26:11.380
 loves us

00:26:11.380 --> 00:26:11.880
 it's in

00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:12.100
 his

00:26:12.100 --> 00:26:12.500
 nature

00:26:12.500 --> 00:26:13.279
 he's the

00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:14.000
 originator

00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:14.340
 of this

00:26:14.340 --> 00:26:14.920
 everlasting

00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:15.240
 and

00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:15.720
 unconditional

00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:16.320
 love

00:26:16.320 --> 00:26:17.500
 as Romans 5

00:26:17.500 --> 00:26:17.900
 says

00:26:17.900 --> 00:26:18.200
 God

00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:18.680
 demonstrates

00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:19.060
 his own

00:26:19.059 --> 00:26:19.419
 love for

00:26:19.419 --> 00:26:19.659
 us

00:26:19.659 --> 00:26:20.079
 that while

00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:20.339
 we were

00:26:20.339 --> 00:26:20.559
 still

00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:20.919
 sinners

00:26:20.919 --> 00:26:21.639
 Christ

00:26:21.639 --> 00:26:22.159
 died

00:26:22.159 --> 00:26:23.200
 for us

00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:24.119
 so let

00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:24.440
 us then

00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:24.899
 die to

00:26:24.899 --> 00:26:25.399
 the secular

00:26:25.399 --> 00:26:26.139
 concept that

00:26:26.139 --> 00:26:26.500
 we must

00:26:26.500 --> 00:26:27.259
 love ourselves

00:26:27.259 --> 00:26:28.099
 first before

00:26:28.099 --> 00:26:28.619
 we can love

00:26:28.619 --> 00:26:29.039
 others

00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:30.079
 God has

00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:30.500
 loved us

00:26:30.500 --> 00:26:31.079
 enough to

00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:31.539
 satisfy

00:26:31.539 --> 00:26:32.500
 and this

00:26:32.500 --> 00:26:33.099
 love as we

00:26:33.099 --> 00:26:33.740
 abide in it

00:26:33.740 --> 00:26:34.659
 is to overflow

00:26:34.659 --> 00:26:35.319
 abundantly

00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:36.559
 into the lives

00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:37.460
 of others

00:26:37.460 --> 00:26:38.460
 so how can we

00:26:38.460 --> 00:26:39.419
 actually do this

00:26:39.419 --> 00:26:40.519
 a big part of it

00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:41.399
 is understanding

00:26:41.399 --> 00:26:42.119
 the connection

00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:43.379
 between these

00:26:43.379 --> 00:26:44.379
 two commands

00:26:44.379 --> 00:26:45.000
 so let's look at

00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:45.740
 our last point

00:26:45.740 --> 00:26:46.159
 together

00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:47.240
 the connection

00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:48.500
 between the

00:26:48.500 --> 00:26:49.000
 commands

00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:50.820
 so according

00:26:50.820 --> 00:26:51.200
 to one

00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:51.820
 commentator

00:26:51.820 --> 00:26:52.480
 Jesus was

00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:53.080
 the first

00:26:53.080 --> 00:26:53.660
 to place

00:26:53.660 --> 00:26:54.240
 these two

00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:54.660
 commands

00:26:54.660 --> 00:26:55.620
 from the

00:26:55.620 --> 00:26:55.920
 Torah

00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:56.800
 together

00:26:56.800 --> 00:26:57.580
 however

00:26:57.580 --> 00:26:57.900
 the New

00:26:57.900 --> 00:26:58.200
 Testament

00:26:58.200 --> 00:26:58.680
 offers

00:26:58.680 --> 00:26:59.160
 differed

00:26:59.160 --> 00:26:59.560
 greatly

00:26:59.560 --> 00:27:00.060
 with this

00:27:00.060 --> 00:27:00.380
 prior

00:27:00.380 --> 00:27:00.900
 tradition

00:27:00.900 --> 00:27:01.820
 continuing

00:27:01.820 --> 00:27:02.200
 Jesus'

00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:02.800
 teaching

00:27:02.800 --> 00:27:03.200
 on the

00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:03.759
 inseparable

00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:04.300
 nature

00:27:04.300 --> 00:27:05.140
 of the

00:27:05.140 --> 00:27:05.380
 two

00:27:05.380 --> 00:27:05.920
 commands

00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:07.380
 Paul writes

00:27:07.380 --> 00:27:08.340
 Romans 13

00:27:08.340 --> 00:27:08.800
 again

00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:09.720
 love does

00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:10.240
 no wrong

00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:10.599
 to a

00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:10.879
 neighbor

00:27:10.879 --> 00:27:11.559
 therefore

00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:12.359
 love

00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:12.980
 is the

00:27:12.980 --> 00:27:13.339
 fulfilling

00:27:13.339 --> 00:27:13.700
 of the

00:27:13.700 --> 00:27:14.019
 law

00:27:14.019 --> 00:27:14.960
 and in

00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:15.659
 Galatians 6

00:27:15.659 --> 00:27:16.059
 2

00:27:16.059 --> 00:27:16.619
 Paul writes

00:27:16.619 --> 00:27:17.019
 again

00:27:17.019 --> 00:27:17.839
 bear one

00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:18.279
 another's

00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:18.599
 burdens

00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:19.279
 and so

00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:19.779
 fulfill

00:27:19.779 --> 00:27:20.599
 the law

00:27:20.599 --> 00:27:21.279
 of Christ

00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:22.559
 so how

00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:22.919
 is this

00:27:22.919 --> 00:27:23.339
 possible

00:27:23.339 --> 00:27:24.099
 that a

00:27:24.099 --> 00:27:25.039
 Pharisee

00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:25.779
 says that

00:27:25.779 --> 00:27:26.379
 one

00:27:26.379 --> 00:27:27.099
 command

00:27:27.099 --> 00:27:27.759
 to love

00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:28.119
 the neighbor

00:27:28.119 --> 00:27:28.859
 as itself

00:27:28.859 --> 00:27:29.659
 is the

00:27:29.659 --> 00:27:30.159
 fulfillment

00:27:30.159 --> 00:27:31.579
 of the

00:27:31.579 --> 00:27:31.960
 law

00:27:31.960 --> 00:27:32.519
 again

00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:32.899
 he would

00:27:32.899 --> 00:27:33.279
 have said

00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:33.720
 the Shema

00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:34.579
 multiple

00:27:34.579 --> 00:27:35.180
 times per

00:27:35.180 --> 00:27:35.399
 day

00:27:35.399 --> 00:27:35.960
 and literally

00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:36.440
 had it

00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:36.740
 written

00:27:36.740 --> 00:27:37.900
 on his

00:27:37.900 --> 00:27:38.400
 forehead

00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:39.000
 in the

00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:39.480
 phylactery

00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:40.599
 so here

00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:41.099
 lies the

00:27:41.099 --> 00:27:41.559
 connection

00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:41.980
 between

00:27:41.980 --> 00:27:42.279
 the two

00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:42.740
 commands

00:27:42.740 --> 00:27:43.920
 and understanding

00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:44.740
 them is

00:27:44.740 --> 00:27:45.720
 essential to

00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:46.599
 obedience

00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:47.599
 you cannot

00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:48.220
 love God

00:27:48.220 --> 00:27:48.759
 without loving

00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:49.220
 your neighbor

00:27:49.220 --> 00:27:50.140
 nor can you

00:27:50.140 --> 00:27:50.460
 love your

00:27:50.460 --> 00:27:51.039
 neighbor in

00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:51.440
 the way that

00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:51.900
 Christ

00:27:51.900 --> 00:27:52.700
 our standard

00:27:52.700 --> 00:27:53.620
 loved us

00:27:53.620 --> 00:27:54.240
 without

00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:55.359
 loving God

00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:56.640
 in creating

00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:57.180
 us in his

00:27:57.180 --> 00:27:57.680
 image

00:27:57.680 --> 00:27:58.579
 God has

00:27:58.579 --> 00:27:59.339
 tethered himself

00:27:59.339 --> 00:28:00.079
 to humanity

00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:01.039
 in an amazing

00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:01.980
 and glorious

00:28:01.980 --> 00:28:03.099
 way such

00:28:03.099 --> 00:28:03.519
 that an

00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:04.240
 offense against

00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:04.759
 a man

00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:05.579
 is an offense

00:28:05.579 --> 00:28:06.180
 against

00:28:06.180 --> 00:28:06.720
 God

00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:07.860
 as Matthew

00:28:07.860 --> 00:28:08.480
 records in

00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:09.380
 chapter 25

00:28:09.380 --> 00:28:10.259
 truly I

00:28:10.259 --> 00:28:10.620
 say to

00:28:10.620 --> 00:28:10.900
 you

00:28:10.900 --> 00:28:11.539
 as you

00:28:11.539 --> 00:28:11.900
 did it

00:28:11.900 --> 00:28:12.440
 to one

00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:12.680
 of the

00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:12.940
 least

00:28:12.940 --> 00:28:13.360
 of these

00:28:13.360 --> 00:28:13.559
 my

00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:13.920
 brothers

00:28:13.920 --> 00:28:14.500
 you did

00:28:14.500 --> 00:28:14.680
 it

00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:15.180
 to me

00:28:15.180 --> 00:28:16.740
 similarly

00:28:16.740 --> 00:28:17.319
 in

00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:17.860
 James

00:28:17.860 --> 00:28:18.160
 chapter

00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:18.559
 3

00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:19.620
 we

00:28:19.620 --> 00:28:20.259
 reflected

00:28:20.259 --> 00:28:20.559
 on this

00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:20.900
 passage

00:28:20.900 --> 00:28:21.420
 earlier

00:28:21.420 --> 00:28:22.299
 blessing

00:28:22.299 --> 00:28:23.079
 God

00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:23.819
 and cursing

00:28:23.819 --> 00:28:24.339
 those made

00:28:24.339 --> 00:28:24.680
 in his

00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:25.279
 likeness

00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:26.059
 was given

00:28:26.059 --> 00:28:26.500
 as an

00:28:26.500 --> 00:28:26.980
 example

00:28:26.980 --> 00:28:27.400
 of the

00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:27.720
 tongue

00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:28.140
 being a

00:28:28.140 --> 00:28:28.460
 restless

00:28:28.460 --> 00:28:29.019
 evil

00:28:29.019 --> 00:28:29.819
 demonstrating

00:28:29.819 --> 00:28:30.259
 the deep

00:28:30.259 --> 00:28:30.700
 division

00:28:30.700 --> 00:28:31.140
 in the

00:28:31.140 --> 00:28:31.319
 human

00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:31.759
 heart

00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:32.299
 which

00:28:32.299 --> 00:28:32.660
 ought

00:28:32.660 --> 00:28:32.920
 not

00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:33.240
 be

00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:33.559
 so

00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:33.799
 so

00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:34.079
 James

00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:34.500
 sees it

00:28:34.500 --> 00:28:34.759
 as a

00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:35.380
 contradiction

00:28:35.380 --> 00:28:36.380
 to bless

00:28:36.380 --> 00:28:36.920
 God

00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:37.460
 and to

00:28:37.460 --> 00:28:37.760
 curse

00:28:37.760 --> 00:28:38.260
 man

00:28:38.260 --> 00:28:39.300
 with the

00:28:39.300 --> 00:28:39.660
 same

00:28:39.660 --> 00:28:40.260
 tongue

00:28:40.260 --> 00:28:41.680
 this link

00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:42.040
 is shown

00:28:42.040 --> 00:28:42.820
 most clearly

00:28:42.820 --> 00:28:43.600
 in 1st

00:28:43.600 --> 00:28:44.140
 John chapter

00:28:44.140 --> 00:28:44.600
 4

00:28:44.600 --> 00:28:45.300
 so I'd like

00:28:45.300 --> 00:28:45.740
 us to

00:28:45.740 --> 00:28:46.120
 turn

00:28:46.120 --> 00:28:46.760
 there

00:28:46.760 --> 00:28:47.440
 so 1st

00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:48.060
 John chapter

00:28:48.060 --> 00:28:48.520
 4

00:28:48.520 --> 00:28:49.860
 starting in

00:28:49.860 --> 00:28:50.160
 verse

00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:51.280
 19

00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:55.920
 1st

00:28:55.920 --> 00:28:56.500
 John 4

00:28:56.500 --> 00:28:58.420
 verse 19

00:28:58.420 --> 00:28:59.019
 says

00:28:59.019 --> 00:29:00.599
 we love

00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:01.139
 because he

00:29:01.139 --> 00:29:01.859
 first loved

00:29:01.859 --> 00:29:02.259
 us

00:29:02.259 --> 00:29:03.180
 if anyone

00:29:03.180 --> 00:29:03.759
 says

00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:04.440
 I love

00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:04.940
 God

00:29:04.940 --> 00:29:05.579
 and hates

00:29:05.579 --> 00:29:06.059
 his brother

00:29:06.059 --> 00:29:06.799
 he is a

00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:07.099
 liar

00:29:07.099 --> 00:29:08.319
 for he

00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:08.599
 who does

00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:09.119
 not love

00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:09.680
 his brother

00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:10.279
 whom he

00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:11.599
 has seen

00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:12.379
 cannot love

00:29:12.379 --> 00:29:12.779
 God

00:29:12.779 --> 00:29:13.480
 whom he

00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:13.879
 has not

00:29:13.879 --> 00:29:14.180
 seen

00:29:14.180 --> 00:29:15.359
 in this

00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:15.819
 commandment

00:29:15.819 --> 00:29:16.220
 we have

00:29:16.220 --> 00:29:16.740
 from him

00:29:16.740 --> 00:29:17.480
 whoever

00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:17.879
 loves

00:29:17.879 --> 00:29:18.259
 God

00:29:18.259 --> 00:29:19.039
 must also

00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:19.399
 love

00:29:19.399 --> 00:29:19.899
 his brother

00:29:19.900 --> 00:29:21.140
 everyone

00:29:21.140 --> 00:29:21.400
 who

00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:21.840
 believes

00:29:21.840 --> 00:29:22.060
 that

00:29:22.060 --> 00:29:22.320
 Jesus

00:29:22.320 --> 00:29:22.759
 is the

00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:23.160
 Christ

00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:23.600
 has been

00:29:23.600 --> 00:29:23.840
 born

00:29:23.840 --> 00:29:24.019
 of

00:29:24.019 --> 00:29:24.320
 God

00:29:24.320 --> 00:29:24.860
 and

00:29:24.860 --> 00:29:25.140
 everyone

00:29:25.140 --> 00:29:25.400

00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:25.700
 loves

00:29:25.700 --> 00:29:25.880
 the

00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:26.280
 father

00:29:26.280 --> 00:29:27.000
 loves

00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:27.320
 whoever

00:29:27.320 --> 00:29:27.600
 has

00:29:27.600 --> 00:29:27.800
 been

00:29:27.800 --> 00:29:28.060
 born

00:29:28.060 --> 00:29:28.240
 of

00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:28.480
 him

00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:29.480
 by

00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:29.740
 this

00:29:29.740 --> 00:29:29.940
 we

00:29:29.940 --> 00:29:30.280
 know

00:29:30.280 --> 00:29:30.560
 the

00:29:30.560 --> 00:29:30.980
 love

00:29:30.980 --> 00:29:31.519
 that

00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:31.700
 we

00:29:31.700 --> 00:29:31.960
 love

00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:32.120
 the

00:29:32.120 --> 00:29:32.380
 children

00:29:32.380 --> 00:29:32.600
 of

00:29:32.600 --> 00:29:32.900
 God

00:29:32.900 --> 00:29:33.560
 when

00:29:33.560 --> 00:29:33.720
 we

00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:34.019
 love

00:29:34.019 --> 00:29:34.460
 God

00:29:34.460 --> 00:29:34.740
 and

00:29:34.740 --> 00:29:35.040
 obey

00:29:35.040 --> 00:29:35.300
 his

00:29:35.300 --> 00:29:35.820
 commandments

00:29:35.820 --> 00:29:36.720
 for

00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:36.940
 this

00:29:36.940 --> 00:29:37.100
 is

00:29:37.100 --> 00:29:37.240
 the

00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:37.400
 love

00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:37.519
 of

00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:37.820
 God

00:29:37.820 --> 00:29:38.100
 that

00:29:38.100 --> 00:29:38.200
 we

00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:38.400
 keep

00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:38.540
 his

00:29:38.540 --> 00:29:38.980
 commandments

00:29:38.980 --> 00:29:39.560
 and

00:29:39.560 --> 00:29:39.700
 his

00:29:39.700 --> 00:29:40.080
 commandments

00:29:40.080 --> 00:29:40.420
 are

00:29:40.420 --> 00:29:40.660
 not

00:29:40.660 --> 00:29:41.280
 burdensome

00:29:41.280 --> 00:29:41.300
!

00:29:49.900 --> 00:29:50.519
 which

00:29:50.519 --> 00:29:50.680
 is

00:29:50.680 --> 00:29:50.880
 to

00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:51.180
 love

00:29:51.180 --> 00:29:51.400
 what

00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:51.600
 he

00:29:51.600 --> 00:29:52.080
 loves

00:29:52.080 --> 00:29:52.480
 namely

00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:53.200
 his

00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:53.600
 children

00:29:53.600 --> 00:29:54.640
 each

00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:54.780
 of

00:29:54.780 --> 00:29:54.960
 these

00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:55.259
 three

00:29:55.259 --> 00:29:55.440
 are

00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:55.720
 wound

00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:56.060
 together

00:29:56.060 --> 00:29:56.340
 so

00:29:56.340 --> 00:29:56.680
 tightly

00:29:56.680 --> 00:29:56.980
 that

00:29:56.980 --> 00:29:57.120
 if

00:29:57.120 --> 00:29:57.420
 one

00:29:57.420 --> 00:29:57.620
 is

00:29:57.620 --> 00:29:57.980
 missing

00:29:57.980 --> 00:29:58.720
 according

00:29:58.720 --> 00:29:58.960
 to

00:29:58.960 --> 00:29:59.320
 John

00:29:59.320 --> 00:29:59.780
 all

00:29:59.780 --> 00:30:00.160
 three

00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:00.560
 cannot

00:30:00.560 --> 00:30:01.100
 exist

00:30:01.100 --> 00:30:01.920
 we

00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:02.180
 cannot

00:30:02.180 --> 00:30:02.500
 love

00:30:02.500 --> 00:30:02.900
 others

00:30:02.900 --> 00:30:03.180
 as

00:30:03.180 --> 00:30:03.519
 Christ

00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:03.820
 loved

00:30:03.820 --> 00:30:04.180
 us

00:30:04.180 --> 00:30:04.519
 until

00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:04.740
 we

00:30:07.420 --> 00:30:08.000
 contemplated

00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:08.160
 the

00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:08.600
 necessary

00:30:08.600 --> 00:30:09.240
 sacrifice

00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:09.700
 to lay

00:30:12.940 --> 00:30:13.259
 God

00:30:13.259 --> 00:30:13.540
 unless

00:30:13.540 --> 00:30:13.720
 we

00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:13.960

00:30:14.500 --> 00:30:14.780
 begin

00:30:14.780 --> 00:30:14.960
 to

00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:15.320
 unite

00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:32.519
 examine
