00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.279
 If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you.

00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:16.760
! If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too.

00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:22.760
 If you can wait to not be tired by waiting, or being lied about, don't deal in lies,

00:00:23.240 --> 00:00:29.400
 or being hated, don't give way to hating, and yet don't look too good nor talk too wise.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.320
 If you can dream and not make dreams your master, if you can think and not make thoughts your aim,

00:00:35.859 --> 00:00:41.519
 if you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the same,

00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:47.719
 if you can bear to hear the truth you have spoken, twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

00:00:48.219 --> 00:00:54.560
 or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, and stoop and build them up with worn out tools,

00:00:54.560 --> 00:01:02.060
 if you can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it all on one turn of pitch and toss,

00:01:02.620 --> 00:01:06.879
 and lose and start again at your beginnings and never breathe a word about your loss,

00:01:07.140 --> 00:01:12.379
 if you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone,

00:01:12.379 --> 00:01:18.699
 and so hold on when there is nothing in you except the will which says to them, hold on.

00:01:19.299 --> 00:01:24.659
 If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with kings nor lose the common touch,

00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:31.079
 if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, if all men count with you but none too much,

00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:36.480
 if you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds worth of distance run,

00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:46.579
 yours is the earth and everything in it, and which is more, you'll be a man, my son.

00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:56.259
 So reads Rudyard Kipling's famous poem, If, penned in 1895.

00:01:56.260 --> 00:01:59.480
 It's quite a moving poem, isn't it?

00:01:59.940 --> 00:02:05.219
 The words of a father to a son as he presents his son with the various challenges of life

00:02:05.219 --> 00:02:10.920
 and exhorts him to face them with courage and wisdom, humility and valour.

00:02:12.140 --> 00:02:19.159
 The whole poem turns on that one word, if, if, if, if.

00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:21.980
 It's how the father begins nearly every other line,

00:02:21.979 --> 00:02:29.139
 as he entertains the possibility that his son might just be able to grow up and perform well.

00:02:29.539 --> 00:02:35.159
 And if he does, well, yours is the earth and everything in it.

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.659
 And what's more, you'll be a man, my son.

00:02:41.579 --> 00:02:46.060
 I wonder if you see the worldview behind Kipling's poem.

00:02:46.060 --> 00:02:53.860
 It's the worldview of Greek stoicism, the stiff upper lip in the face of life's trials.

00:02:54.280 --> 00:03:03.259
 It's the worldview of secular humanism, the self trusting itself and exerting itself to achieve mature manhood.

00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:06.159
 That one phrase is heard throughout,

00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:09.920
 if you can, if you can, if you can.

00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:14.879
 And modern humanism chants in the background to the young man,

00:03:15.539 --> 00:03:20.099
 yes, you can, yes, you can, yes, you can.

00:03:21.079 --> 00:03:22.219
 But do you see the problem?

00:03:23.539 --> 00:03:26.199
 If what we saw this morning is true,

00:03:27.219 --> 00:03:32.119
 then the solution to the problems that plague our humanity do not lie within ourselves.

00:03:33.379 --> 00:03:35.739
 That's the false gospel of humanism.

00:03:35.740 --> 00:03:44.920
 The solution to our problems lie outside ourselves in the person of Jesus Christ, the proper man.

00:03:45.939 --> 00:03:52.379
 The good news of Christianity hangs on the shoulders of the person of Jesus Christ.

00:03:53.540 --> 00:03:59.439
 And one of the best insights into his humanity are his temptations.

00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:03.599
 When he faced the hardest tests of his life,

00:04:03.659 --> 00:04:06.419
 when he faced the biggest challenge of his life,

00:04:07.099 --> 00:04:09.639
 a fight with the devil himself.

00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.699
 But if we want to understand Jesus' temptations properly,

00:04:14.819 --> 00:04:18.600
 then we must understand them in the whole context of the Bible.

00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:21.819
 When Jesus faces the devil here in the wilderness,

00:04:22.540 --> 00:04:26.980
 there are two shadowy figures from the Old Testament looking on.

00:04:26.980 --> 00:04:29.879
 To put it in more theatrical terms,

00:04:30.080 --> 00:04:35.280
 the drama of Jesus versus the devil unfolds on the front stage

00:04:35.280 --> 00:04:40.780
 with two figures painted into the backdrop of that stage.

00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:44.100
 In the narrative, Jesus is front stage.

00:04:44.259 --> 00:04:49.439
 If you look with me at chapter 3, verse 21 and 22,

00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.120
 we'll see that Jesus is front stage.

00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:58.220
 Now when all the people were baptized and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying,

00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:03.459
 the heavens were opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove.

00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.100
 And a voice came from heaven,

00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:10.980
 You are my beloved Son, with you I am well pleased.

00:05:11.780 --> 00:05:16.780
 So Jesus is affirmed as God's Son, that's obvious enough.

00:05:16.779 --> 00:05:18.859
 But now look at chapter 3, verse 23.

00:05:20.539 --> 00:05:24.179
 Jesus, when he began the ministry, was about 30 years of age,

00:05:24.719 --> 00:05:29.599
 being the son, as was supposed, of Joseph, the son of Heli.

00:05:30.379 --> 00:05:32.679
 And then it gives the genealogy of Jesus.

00:05:32.819 --> 00:05:37.000
 Just glance all the way down there, and you come all the way down to verse 38.

00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:42.000
 The son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam,

00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.740
 the son of God.

00:05:47.100 --> 00:05:49.579
 This genealogy is not actually needed.

00:05:49.860 --> 00:05:51.360
 If you read from verse 22,

00:05:52.300 --> 00:05:56.000
 it flows perfectly right into chapter 4, verse 1.

00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.220
 You are my beloved Son, with you I am well pleased.

00:05:59.620 --> 00:06:00.699
 Chapter 4, verse 1.

00:06:01.060 --> 00:06:04.060
 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan

00:06:04.060 --> 00:06:06.959
 and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness.

00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:10.839
 There is no need to put the genealogy in here.

00:06:12.099 --> 00:06:14.979
 So the question is, why does Luke put it here?

00:06:15.239 --> 00:06:18.339
 Why not put it at the beginning of his gospel, as Matthew does?

00:06:18.739 --> 00:06:21.219
 Or in the birth narrative in chapter 2?

00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.819
 Why place it here, when he has just been baptized,

00:06:25.379 --> 00:06:26.879
 and he is about to head into the wilderness?

00:06:28.060 --> 00:06:29.799
 Well, look how it ends.

00:06:30.219 --> 00:06:33.679
 The son of Adam, the son of God.

00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:37.620
 Luke wants us to read this story of Jesus' temptations

00:06:37.620 --> 00:06:40.000
 with Adam in the background.

00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:42.740
 Adam is a son of God.

00:06:43.340 --> 00:06:46.280
 And Luke wants us to watch Jesus' temptations

00:06:46.280 --> 00:06:48.300
 unfold on the front stage,

00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:52.259
 with the shadow of Adam on the backstage.

00:06:53.620 --> 00:06:58.100
 Adam, the son of God, forms the backdrop to this drama.

00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:03.480
 But there's a shadow of another son in the background as well.

00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:04.879
 I wonder if you spotted him.

00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:07.160
 Chapter 4, verse 1 and 2.

00:07:07.900 --> 00:07:11.060
 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan

00:07:11.060 --> 00:07:13.620
 and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness

00:07:13.620 --> 00:07:17.160
 for forty days, being tempted by the devil.

00:07:17.900 --> 00:07:20.120
 And he ate nothing during those days.

00:07:20.660 --> 00:07:23.240
 And when they were over, he was hungry.

00:07:25.020 --> 00:07:26.439
 Who's the other son?

00:07:27.740 --> 00:07:29.860
 Well, what do forty days in the wilderness,

00:07:29.860 --> 00:07:32.020
 being led by God, remind you of?

00:07:32.019 --> 00:07:36.259
 It's Israel in the desert for forty years,

00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:37.599
 being led by God.

00:07:38.099 --> 00:07:39.699
 And in Exodus chapter 4,

00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:42.560
 Israel is called God's son.

00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.639
 Moses goes to Pharaoh and says,

00:07:45.740 --> 00:07:48.519
 God says, let my son go,

00:07:49.099 --> 00:07:50.479
 that he might worship me.

00:07:51.180 --> 00:07:52.819
 Israel is a son of God.

00:07:53.539 --> 00:07:55.379
 And Luke has given us the location,

00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:57.180
 wilderness, and the timing,

00:07:57.180 --> 00:08:00.139
 forty days of Jesus' temptation,

00:08:00.340 --> 00:08:03.639
 so that we watch this drama unfold

00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:06.860
 with the shadow of Israel in the backdrop.

00:08:07.900 --> 00:08:10.400
 So that's the drama we're watching on stage.

00:08:10.819 --> 00:08:12.579
 It's not one son and the devil.

00:08:13.280 --> 00:08:15.500
 It's three sons and the devil.

00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.579
 Adam, the son of God.

00:08:18.579 --> 00:08:21.759
 Israel, son of God.

00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:25.259
 And Jesus, son of God.

00:08:29.039 --> 00:08:31.939
 In 1975, my parents gave birth.

00:08:32.259 --> 00:08:33.759
 No, sorry, they both didn't give birth.

00:08:34.100 --> 00:08:35.079
 They were given a son.

00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:37.000
 My mother gave birth.

00:08:37.539 --> 00:08:39.939
 And as they held their first son in their arms

00:08:39.939 --> 00:08:40.759
 in those early days,

00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:42.899
 they were, I'm sure, saying to themselves,

00:08:43.019 --> 00:08:44.899
 what kind of son will he be?

00:08:44.899 --> 00:08:48.600
 Will he be an extrovert or an introvert?

00:08:49.079 --> 00:08:51.319
 Will he be studious or sporty?

00:08:52.439 --> 00:08:55.659
 And then in July 1977, I was born.

00:08:56.319 --> 00:08:58.019
 And I'm sure they looked at me and said,

00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:00.220
 what kind of a son will he be?

00:09:00.819 --> 00:09:03.419
 Will he be like the first son that we had?

00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:04.939
 Or will he be different?

00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:07.539
 And then in November 1980,

00:09:07.980 --> 00:09:09.019
 they had another son.

00:09:10.460 --> 00:09:11.860
 I'm sure they looked at him and said,

00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:13.179
 what kind of son will he be?

00:09:13.179 --> 00:09:15.159
 Will he be like the first one?

00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:16.279
 Or like the second one?

00:09:16.319 --> 00:09:17.099
 Or will he be different?

00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:19.359
 It's what parents do, don't they?

00:09:19.439 --> 00:09:20.539
 They compare their children.

00:09:20.719 --> 00:09:21.500
 This one's quiet.

00:09:21.620 --> 00:09:22.339
 This one's loud.

00:09:22.459 --> 00:09:23.259
 This one's chilled.

00:09:24.179 --> 00:09:25.799
 Comparisons go on all the time.

00:09:26.239 --> 00:09:29.019
 And it's the same as you read the Bible's storyline.

00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:31.819
 It's a story of three sons.

00:09:32.459 --> 00:09:34.179
 Adam, son of God.

00:09:34.699 --> 00:09:36.399
 Israel, son of God.

00:09:36.899 --> 00:09:38.740
 Jesus, son of God.

00:09:38.819 --> 00:09:41.019
 And each time you meet each of the sons,

00:09:41.019 --> 00:09:42.979
 you're asking yourself the question,

00:09:43.719 --> 00:09:46.939
 what kind of a son is he?

00:09:47.779 --> 00:09:49.419
 And in the case of Israel and Jesus,

00:09:49.579 --> 00:09:50.019
 we say,

00:09:50.239 --> 00:09:52.319
 will he be like the first son?

00:09:55.139 --> 00:09:56.739
 Well, we saw this morning

00:09:56.739 --> 00:10:03.439
 that Adam was a disobedient son.

00:10:03.539 --> 00:10:05.979
 He chose to disobey his father's law

00:10:05.979 --> 00:10:07.979
 and as a result, he was punished.

00:10:07.979 --> 00:10:10.159
 He chose to worship a creature, the serpent,

00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:12.559
 instead of the creator, God his father.

00:10:13.259 --> 00:10:14.419
 In a garden paradise,

00:10:14.939 --> 00:10:17.039
 the first son of God failed

00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:19.500
 and received God's penalty of punishment

00:10:19.500 --> 00:10:22.100
 and was removed from the garden.

00:10:22.899 --> 00:10:25.100
 And it's the same with God's second son, Israel.

00:10:25.439 --> 00:10:26.959
 At Sinai and in the wilderness,

00:10:27.259 --> 00:10:30.000
 Israel proved to be a disobedient son.

00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:32.779
 He was given food by God in the wilderness.

00:10:32.779 --> 00:10:34.879
 Note the same theme of food.

00:10:35.319 --> 00:10:37.379
 Both sons of God are given food.

00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:39.279
 And yet he complained.

00:10:39.899 --> 00:10:42.000
 And when God gave his law to his son,

00:10:42.079 --> 00:10:44.059
 within days his son had broken the law

00:10:44.059 --> 00:10:46.919
 by worshipping a creature,

00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:49.100
 the golden calf,

00:10:49.899 --> 00:10:51.399
 instead of his father.

00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:53.299
 So God's first son, Adam,

00:10:53.959 --> 00:10:55.179
 disobeyed and was punished.

00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:57.519
 And God's second son, Israel,

00:10:57.899 --> 00:10:59.459
 disobeyed and was punished.

00:10:59.899 --> 00:11:01.279
 And now here is Jesus,

00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:02.579
 God's son,

00:11:02.939 --> 00:11:06.179
 and he's outside a garden paradise,

00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:07.480
 in a desert,

00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:10.399
 being tempted by the devil.

00:11:10.539 --> 00:11:11.539
 And the question is,

00:11:12.980 --> 00:11:15.179
 what kind of a son

00:11:15.179 --> 00:11:16.960
 is he going to be?

00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:20.120
 Now God,

00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.120
 we've seen in chapter 3, verse 22,

00:11:22.280 --> 00:11:24.000
 tells us what kind of a son he is.

00:11:24.400 --> 00:11:26.080
 This is my beloved son.

00:11:26.160 --> 00:11:26.620
 With him,

00:11:27.280 --> 00:11:28.600
 I am well pleased.

00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:31.340
 But while the father may think

00:11:31.340 --> 00:11:32.580
 he is special and good,

00:11:32.620 --> 00:11:34.060
 he hasn't really been tested yet,

00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:34.440
 has he?

00:11:34.860 --> 00:11:36.460
 It's one thing to affirm something

00:11:36.460 --> 00:11:37.220
 about your son,

00:11:37.280 --> 00:11:39.200
 it's quite another to see the evidence.

00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:41.580
 Parents do this all the time.

00:11:41.700 --> 00:11:42.980
 We talk up our children

00:11:42.980 --> 00:11:45.139
 in ways that are exaggerated

00:11:45.139 --> 00:11:47.399
 and less to do with reality.

00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:48.980
 There's often more pretense

00:11:48.980 --> 00:11:50.759
 behind what we say about our children

00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:51.960
 than there is performance.

00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:54.580
 Well, God the father

00:11:54.580 --> 00:11:57.179
 doesn't want to just to be seen,

00:11:57.299 --> 00:11:58.620
 to talk up his son.

00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.120
 He also wants his son

00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.059
 to prove himself to us.

00:12:03.860 --> 00:12:05.299
 Did you notice the double reference

00:12:05.299 --> 00:12:07.259
 to the spirit in verses 1 and 2?

00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:10.500
 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit,

00:12:10.500 --> 00:12:12.779
 was led by the spirit

00:12:12.779 --> 00:12:13.740
 into the wilderness.

00:12:13.740 --> 00:12:17.840
 The devil is not the prime agent here.

00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:20.320
 He is an intermediary agent

00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:21.500
 in the temptations.

00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:23.360
 Yes, he is the prime agent

00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:25.279
 who brings the temptations

00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:27.740
 because God cannot

00:12:27.740 --> 00:12:28.820
 and does not tempt.

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:31.480
 And yet the whole scenario

00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:34.620
 is set up by God.

00:12:35.740 --> 00:12:36.560
 Jesus is led,

00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:38.419
 not by the serpent,

00:12:38.620 --> 00:12:39.399
 not by Satan,

00:12:39.580 --> 00:12:40.139
 into the wilderness.

00:12:40.139 --> 00:12:41.740
 He's led by the spirit

00:12:41.740 --> 00:12:43.580
 into the wilderness.

00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.840
 This is a test from God.

00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:49.600
 Just as Adam was tested

00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:50.299
 in the garden

00:12:50.299 --> 00:12:52.299
 to see what was in his heart,

00:12:52.740 --> 00:12:53.980
 and just as Israel

00:12:53.980 --> 00:12:55.379
 was tested in the wilderness

00:12:55.379 --> 00:12:57.340
 to see what was in his heart,

00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:00.159
 so God tests Jesus

00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:01.560
 outside a garden,

00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:02.700
 in a wilderness,

00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:06.360
 to see what is in his heart.

00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:09.759
 God tested each of his three sons

00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:11.580
 to see what controlled

00:13:11.580 --> 00:13:13.259
 their wills,

00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:14.460
 to see if they loved him

00:13:14.460 --> 00:13:15.440
 with heart and soul

00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:17.440
 and mind and strength.

00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:19.080
 And in this passage,

00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:20.019
 Luke shows us

00:13:20.019 --> 00:13:21.500
 that Jesus does indeed

00:13:21.500 --> 00:13:23.539
 live up to God's affirmation

00:13:23.539 --> 00:13:25.080
 in chapter 3.

00:13:25.340 --> 00:13:27.279
 He shows us this in four ways,

00:13:27.980 --> 00:13:29.039
 three in this story

00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:29.879
 and one at the end

00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:30.539
 of the gospel

00:13:30.539 --> 00:13:31.399
 that we'll look at.

00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:32.539
 Number one,

00:13:33.259 --> 00:13:34.899
 Luke presents Jesus as,

00:13:35.139 --> 00:13:35.459
 first,

00:13:36.199 --> 00:13:38.199
 a son who depends

00:13:38.199 --> 00:13:39.620
 on God wholly.

00:13:40.139 --> 00:13:41.539
 A son who depends

00:13:41.539 --> 00:13:43.019
 on God wholly.

00:13:43.659 --> 00:13:44.299
 Chapter 4,

00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:46.299
 verse 2 to 4.

00:13:47.340 --> 00:13:48.299
 He was being tempted

00:13:48.299 --> 00:13:49.419
 for 40 days

00:13:49.419 --> 00:13:50.459
 by the devil

00:13:50.459 --> 00:13:51.620
 and he ate nothing

00:13:51.620 --> 00:13:52.439
 during those days

00:13:52.439 --> 00:13:53.279
 and when they were over

00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:54.120
 he was hungry.

00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:56.039
 The devil said to him,

00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:58.179
 If you are the son of God,

00:13:58.319 --> 00:13:59.439
 command this stone

00:13:59.439 --> 00:14:00.399
 to become bread.

00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.039
 And Jesus answered him,

00:14:02.539 --> 00:14:03.240
 It is written,

00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:04.679
 Man shall not live

00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:06.819
 by bread alone.

00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:09.919
 Now Jesus wasn't

00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:10.759
 Clark Kent.

00:14:12.179 --> 00:14:13.379
 He wasn't Superman,

00:14:13.819 --> 00:14:15.299
 that person who appeared

00:14:15.299 --> 00:14:16.720
 to be like a man

00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:17.220
 but we know

00:14:17.220 --> 00:14:18.319
 that he wasn't a man.

00:14:19.419 --> 00:14:20.500
 Jesus' humanity

00:14:20.500 --> 00:14:21.620
 was not a foil

00:14:21.620 --> 00:14:23.539
 for who he really was.

00:14:24.059 --> 00:14:24.960
 He was God

00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:25.740
 but he wasn't really

00:14:25.740 --> 00:14:26.639
 a human being.

00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:28.879
 That kind of teaching

00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:29.759
 is what's called

00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:30.700
 docetism

00:14:30.700 --> 00:14:31.919
 from the Greek word

00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:32.840
 docetio

00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:33.779
 to think,

00:14:33.939 --> 00:14:34.399
 to seem.

00:14:34.500 --> 00:14:35.740
 It was an early church heresy.

00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:37.340
 The idea was that

00:14:37.340 --> 00:14:38.639
 Jesus was God,

00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:39.080
 yes,

00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:40.439
 but he wasn't really a man.

00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:41.840
 He just seemed

00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:43.019
 to be a man

00:14:43.019 --> 00:14:44.679
 in people's eyes.

00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:46.980
 But we must get rid

00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:48.899
 of any docetism in us.

00:14:49.700 --> 00:14:50.039
 Jesus

00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.439
 was truly God

00:14:52.439 --> 00:14:54.379
 and truly man.

00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:56.439
 And

00:14:56.439 --> 00:14:58.439
 he was starving

00:14:58.439 --> 00:14:59.559
 for 40 days,

00:14:59.659 --> 00:14:59.939
 hungry,

00:15:00.139 --> 00:15:01.279
 fasted for 40 days

00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:02.419
 and at the end

00:15:02.419 --> 00:15:03.919
 he was quite literally

00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:05.059
 starving.

00:15:05.579 --> 00:15:06.179
 Verse 3.

00:15:06.939 --> 00:15:07.919
 He was hungry.

00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:12.679
 And the devil says to him,

00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:14.759
 If you are the son of man,

00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:16.120
 command this stone

00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:16.959
 to become bread.

00:15:17.059 --> 00:15:18.019
 There's the temptation.

00:15:18.019 --> 00:15:19.340
 He has not eaten

00:15:19.340 --> 00:15:20.699
 for 40 days.

00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:21.960
 Now the word

00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:22.340
 if

00:15:22.340 --> 00:15:23.740
 can be a little bit

00:15:23.740 --> 00:15:24.299
 misleading.

00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:25.179
 It's not a statement

00:15:25.179 --> 00:15:25.799
 of doubt.

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:27.000
 Satan knows exactly

00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:28.000
 who Jesus is.

00:15:28.299 --> 00:15:28.840
 That's why he's

00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:29.500
 tempting him.

00:15:30.259 --> 00:15:30.860
 It's really

00:15:30.860 --> 00:15:31.860
 translated,

00:15:31.980 --> 00:15:32.679
 or better translated,

00:15:32.939 --> 00:15:33.360
 since,

00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:34.179
 since,

00:15:34.500 --> 00:15:35.399
 if it is true,

00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:36.659
 you are the son of God,

00:15:36.779 --> 00:15:37.120
 then,

00:15:37.620 --> 00:15:38.439
 turn stones

00:15:38.439 --> 00:15:39.100
 into bread.

00:15:40.659 --> 00:15:41.799
 Satan's not doubting

00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:43.159
 Jesus' sonship.

00:15:43.740 --> 00:15:44.919
 He's assuming it

00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:45.879
 and asking him

00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:46.860
 to prove it.

00:15:48.179 --> 00:15:48.740
 Now what could

00:15:48.740 --> 00:15:49.839
 possibly be wrong

00:15:49.839 --> 00:15:50.679
 for Jesus

00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:51.699
 to have a wee nibble

00:15:51.699 --> 00:15:53.319
 on a bit of granite

00:15:53.319 --> 00:15:54.439
 come whole wheat

00:15:54.439 --> 00:15:55.059
 bread?

00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:56.399
 I mean,

00:15:56.439 --> 00:15:57.240
 later in the gospel,

00:15:57.379 --> 00:15:58.120
 doesn't he feed

00:15:58.120 --> 00:15:59.019
 5,000 people

00:15:59.019 --> 00:16:00.240
 by multiplying

00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:00.919
 bread?

00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:02.379
 So I mean,

00:16:02.459 --> 00:16:03.179
 come on Jesus,

00:16:03.620 --> 00:16:04.299
 treat yourself

00:16:04.299 --> 00:16:04.919
 the wee bit

00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:05.899
 of granite loaf.

00:16:06.819 --> 00:16:07.539
 What could be

00:16:07.539 --> 00:16:08.539
 possibly wrong

00:16:08.539 --> 00:16:09.059
 with that?

00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:10.579
 You will use

00:16:10.579 --> 00:16:11.139
 your power

00:16:11.139 --> 00:16:12.079
 to feed others.

00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:13.719
 Why not use your power

00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:14.519
 to feed yourself?

00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:17.279
 So the question is,

00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:18.100
 what is wrong

00:16:18.100 --> 00:16:19.340
 with turning stones

00:16:19.340 --> 00:16:19.899
 into bread?

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:20.200
 I mean,

00:16:20.259 --> 00:16:20.740
 come on.

00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:22.740
 He turns water

00:16:22.740 --> 00:16:23.320
 into wine?

00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:26.960
 Well,

00:16:27.019 --> 00:16:27.580
 it's this.

00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:29.000
 Satan

00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:30.080
 is tempting

00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:31.399
 Jesus to act

00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:33.360
 independently

00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:35.399
 of his father

00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:37.259
 and to provide

00:16:37.259 --> 00:16:38.200
 for himself

00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:39.279
 independently

00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:41.120
 from his father.

00:16:41.660 --> 00:16:42.940
 Do as you please

00:16:42.940 --> 00:16:44.000
 when you please.

00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:44.840
 Are you hungry,

00:16:45.060 --> 00:16:45.260
 Jesus?

00:16:45.880 --> 00:16:46.580
 Have some

00:16:46.580 --> 00:16:47.440
 lime rock

00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:48.260
 come loaf.

00:16:49.580 --> 00:16:50.420
 It's a test

00:16:50.420 --> 00:16:51.340
 of dependence

00:16:51.340 --> 00:16:52.040
 on God

00:16:52.040 --> 00:16:52.460
 versus

00:16:52.460 --> 00:16:53.820
 independence

00:16:53.820 --> 00:16:54.700
 from God.

00:16:55.220 --> 00:16:56.240
 Satan challenges

00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:57.100
 him to prove

00:16:57.100 --> 00:16:57.940
 his sonship

00:16:57.940 --> 00:16:59.800
 through independent

00:16:59.800 --> 00:17:00.400
 thinking

00:17:00.400 --> 00:17:01.140
 and acting.

00:17:01.800 --> 00:17:02.340
 For Jesus

00:17:02.340 --> 00:17:03.240
 to turn stones

00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:03.800
 into bread,

00:17:04.220 --> 00:17:04.740
 he would have

00:17:04.740 --> 00:17:05.299
 to act

00:17:05.299 --> 00:17:06.100
 independently

00:17:06.100 --> 00:17:06.940
 from God

00:17:06.940 --> 00:17:08.120
 instead of

00:17:08.120 --> 00:17:08.920
 being dependent

00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:09.559
 on God,

00:17:09.660 --> 00:17:10.200
 waiting for

00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:11.180
 his father's

00:17:11.180 --> 00:17:11.860
 provision.

00:17:11.859 --> 00:17:11.959
 salvation.

00:17:13.159 --> 00:17:13.939
 It's exactly

00:17:13.939 --> 00:17:14.479
 what Adam

00:17:14.479 --> 00:17:15.119
 was tested

00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:16.419
 with in the

00:17:16.419 --> 00:17:16.740
 garden.

00:17:17.619 --> 00:17:18.479
 He was tested

00:17:18.479 --> 00:17:19.399
 with a fast

00:17:19.399 --> 00:17:22.039
 just as Jesus

00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:23.039
 is tested

00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:24.259
 with a fast.

00:17:26.639 --> 00:17:27.559
 That was the

00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:28.759
 sin of Adam.

00:17:28.939 --> 00:17:29.539
 God gave him

00:17:29.539 --> 00:17:30.099
 every tree

00:17:30.099 --> 00:17:30.699
 to eat from

00:17:30.699 --> 00:17:31.399
 except one.

00:17:31.539 --> 00:17:32.059
 God showed

00:17:32.059 --> 00:17:32.959
 himself to Adam

00:17:32.959 --> 00:17:33.459
 to be

00:17:33.459 --> 00:17:35.379
 a God

00:17:35.379 --> 00:17:36.039
 of abundant

00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:36.599
 provision

00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:37.379
 for his creatures.

00:17:37.380 --> 00:17:37.920
 you can eat

00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:38.380
 from any

00:17:38.380 --> 00:17:38.780
 tree

00:17:38.780 --> 00:17:39.780
 except one.

00:17:40.840 --> 00:17:41.380
 But Adam

00:17:41.380 --> 00:17:42.860
 chose to live

00:17:42.860 --> 00:17:43.900
 not dependent

00:17:43.900 --> 00:17:44.740
 on God

00:17:44.740 --> 00:17:45.940
 and on his

00:17:45.940 --> 00:17:46.460
 provision

00:17:46.460 --> 00:17:48.560
 but independent

00:17:48.560 --> 00:17:50.340
 on his own

00:17:50.340 --> 00:17:50.860
 provision,

00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:51.940
 the forbidden

00:17:51.940 --> 00:17:52.880
 fruit.

00:17:53.600 --> 00:17:54.360
 And in so doing

00:17:54.360 --> 00:17:55.120
 he made God

00:17:55.120 --> 00:17:55.800
 look like a

00:17:55.800 --> 00:17:56.380
 scrooge.

00:17:56.420 --> 00:17:57.020
 He made God

00:17:57.020 --> 00:17:57.740
 look tight

00:17:57.740 --> 00:17:58.680
 and stingy.

00:17:59.540 --> 00:18:00.020
 That was the

00:18:00.020 --> 00:18:00.580
 sin of Israel

00:18:00.580 --> 00:18:01.180
 in the desert,

00:18:01.300 --> 00:18:01.740
 wasn't it?

00:18:02.460 --> 00:18:02.880
 Also,

00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:04.339
 God provided

00:18:04.339 --> 00:18:05.299
 daily manna

00:18:05.299 --> 00:18:06.019
 every day

00:18:06.019 --> 00:18:06.759
 and yet by

00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:07.299
 grumbling

00:18:07.299 --> 00:18:08.180
 and complaining

00:18:08.180 --> 00:18:08.819
 about the

00:18:08.819 --> 00:18:09.200
 food,

00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:10.579
 they refused

00:18:10.579 --> 00:18:11.099
 to live

00:18:11.099 --> 00:18:11.980
 dependently

00:18:11.980 --> 00:18:12.680
 on God's

00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:13.079
 provision.

00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:14.380
 Israel even

00:18:14.380 --> 00:18:15.059
 contemplated

00:18:15.059 --> 00:18:15.700
 returning to

00:18:15.700 --> 00:18:16.279
 Egypt to

00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:16.700
 live in their

00:18:16.700 --> 00:18:17.440
 own provisions.

00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:19.160
 Their grumbling

00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:20.240
 was an expression

00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:21.759
 of not living

00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:22.420
 dependently

00:18:22.420 --> 00:18:23.019
 on God.

00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:23.700
 They made

00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:24.200
 God look

00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:24.900
 tight and

00:18:24.900 --> 00:18:25.799
 stingy as if

00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:26.200
 he didn't

00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:26.980
 provide for

00:18:26.980 --> 00:18:27.660
 his son.

00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:29.180
 And in each

00:18:29.180 --> 00:18:30.000
 case the devil

00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:30.720
 was saying to

00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:31.259
 Adam and

00:18:31.259 --> 00:18:31.700
 Israel,

00:18:31.740 --> 00:18:32.720
 and now to

00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:33.240
 Jesus,

00:18:34.120 --> 00:18:35.079
 God's tight.

00:18:35.579 --> 00:18:35.900
 He doesn't

00:18:35.900 --> 00:18:36.640
 have your best

00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:37.359
 interests at

00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:37.640
 heart.

00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:38.279
 He doesn't

00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:39.039
 provide for

00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:39.900
 his sons.

00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:40.980
 Act

00:18:40.980 --> 00:18:41.740
 independently.

00:18:42.099 --> 00:18:42.460
 Take the

00:18:42.460 --> 00:18:42.799
 fruit.

00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:44.259
 Provide for

00:18:44.259 --> 00:18:44.759
 yourself.

00:18:45.380 --> 00:18:45.779
 Eat the

00:18:45.779 --> 00:18:46.079
 fruit.

00:18:46.380 --> 00:18:47.140
 Return to

00:18:47.140 --> 00:18:48.359
 Egypt where

00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:48.920
 we sat

00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:49.779
 around fires

00:18:49.779 --> 00:18:50.079
 and what

00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:50.339
 do they

00:18:50.339 --> 00:18:50.700
 say?

00:18:51.099 --> 00:18:51.839
 We ate

00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:53.440
 lamb from

00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:54.160
 the pots.

00:18:55.779 --> 00:18:56.220
 It's all

00:18:56.220 --> 00:18:56.900
 about food.

00:18:57.099 --> 00:18:57.359
 It's all

00:18:57.359 --> 00:18:58.180
 about provision.

00:18:59.299 --> 00:19:00.099
 Will God

00:19:00.099 --> 00:19:01.180
 provide for

00:19:01.180 --> 00:19:01.539
 me or

00:19:01.539 --> 00:19:01.940
 not?

00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:04.320
 Well,

00:19:04.360 --> 00:19:04.620
 Jesus'

00:19:04.900 --> 00:19:05.460
 response

00:19:05.460 --> 00:19:06.160
 reveals that

00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:06.900
 this temptation

00:19:06.900 --> 00:19:07.360
 is all

00:19:07.360 --> 00:19:08.860
 about trustful

00:19:08.860 --> 00:19:10.740
 dependence on

00:19:10.740 --> 00:19:11.019
 God.

00:19:11.120 --> 00:19:11.759
 Verse 4,

00:19:13.299 --> 00:19:13.740
 And Jesus

00:19:13.740 --> 00:19:14.259
 answered,

00:19:14.380 --> 00:19:14.620
 It is

00:19:14.620 --> 00:19:15.019
 written,

00:19:15.560 --> 00:19:16.299
 Man shall

00:19:16.299 --> 00:19:17.320
 not live

00:19:17.320 --> 00:19:18.640
 by bread

00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:19.019
 alone.

00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:19.799
 Man shall

00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:20.279
 not be

00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:20.880
 dependent

00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:22.500
 on bread

00:19:22.500 --> 00:19:23.240
 alone.

00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:24.620
 The quote

00:19:24.620 --> 00:19:25.079
 is from

00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:25.420
 the Old

00:19:25.420 --> 00:19:25.880
 Testament.

00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:26.380
 Now,

00:19:27.120 --> 00:19:27.460
 when there

00:19:27.460 --> 00:19:28.000
 are quotes

00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:28.539
 of the Old

00:19:28.539 --> 00:19:29.039
 Testament and

00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:29.319
 the New

00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:29.680
 Testament,

00:19:29.980 --> 00:19:30.299
 you've got

00:19:30.299 --> 00:19:30.480
 to,

00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:31.099
 here's another

00:19:31.099 --> 00:19:31.779
 picture for

00:19:31.779 --> 00:19:32.039
 your mind,

00:19:32.099 --> 00:19:32.299
 you've got to

00:19:32.299 --> 00:19:32.720
 think of an

00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:33.059
 iceberg.

00:19:34.460 --> 00:19:34.740
 Okay?

00:19:36.019 --> 00:19:37.200
 What do you

00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:37.880
 see in the

00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:38.420
 sea when you

00:19:38.420 --> 00:19:38.900
 see an iceberg?

00:19:39.019 --> 00:19:39.140
 Well,

00:19:39.140 --> 00:19:39.559
 you see the

00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:40.059
 tip of it

00:19:40.059 --> 00:19:40.620
 coming up

00:19:40.620 --> 00:19:41.180
 over the

00:19:41.180 --> 00:19:41.940
 sea,

00:19:42.059 --> 00:19:42.400
 but what's

00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:42.740
 underneath?

00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:44.200
 They say at

00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:44.819
 least two

00:19:44.819 --> 00:19:45.420
 thirds or

00:19:45.420 --> 00:19:46.400
 more is

00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:47.039
 underneath the

00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:47.519
 surface.

00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:48.460
 And Old

00:19:48.460 --> 00:19:49.400
 Testament quotes

00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:49.880
 in the New

00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:50.420
 Testament are a

00:19:50.420 --> 00:19:50.859
 bit like the

00:19:50.859 --> 00:19:51.500
 icebergs.

00:19:51.500 --> 00:19:51.839
 The bit

00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:52.400
 that's quoted

00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:52.920
 is the bit

00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:53.420
 above the

00:19:53.420 --> 00:19:53.960
 surface.

00:19:54.619 --> 00:19:55.200
 But there's a

00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:55.660
 whole bit

00:19:55.660 --> 00:19:56.519
 below the

00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:57.160
 surface that

00:19:57.160 --> 00:19:57.500
 sort of

00:19:57.500 --> 00:19:58.079
 comes with

00:19:58.079 --> 00:19:58.200
 it.

00:19:58.240 --> 00:19:58.640
 That is,

00:19:59.359 --> 00:19:59.779
 they might

00:19:59.779 --> 00:20:00.259
 quote a

00:20:00.259 --> 00:20:01.019
 line from

00:20:01.019 --> 00:20:01.339
 the Old

00:20:01.339 --> 00:20:01.740
 Testament,

00:20:02.740 --> 00:20:03.279
 but actually

00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:03.740
 what comes

00:20:03.740 --> 00:20:04.180
 with it is

00:20:04.180 --> 00:20:04.519
 the whole

00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:05.079
 chapter,

00:20:06.099 --> 00:20:06.380
 okay,

00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:07.460
 or the rest

00:20:07.460 --> 00:20:07.740
 of the

00:20:07.740 --> 00:20:07.980
 verse.

00:20:08.059 --> 00:20:08.319
 And that's

00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:08.720
 what's going

00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:09.079
 on here.

00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:09.700
 All Jesus

00:20:09.700 --> 00:20:10.359
 says is,

00:20:11.180 --> 00:20:11.599
 you man

00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:12.039
 shall not

00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:12.579
 live by

00:20:12.579 --> 00:20:13.279
 bread alone.

00:20:13.460 --> 00:20:13.720
 But we

00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:14.240
 know if you

00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:14.480
 go to

00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:15.119
 Deuteronomy

00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:15.619
 chapter 8

00:20:15.619 --> 00:20:16.079
 verse 3,

00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:16.680
 it goes on

00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:17.220
 to say,

00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:18.079
 but on

00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:19.140
 every word

00:20:19.140 --> 00:20:19.920
 that comes

00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:20.359
 from the

00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:21.240
 mouth of

00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:21.700
 God.

00:20:22.660 --> 00:20:23.120
 And by

00:20:23.120 --> 00:20:23.700
 quoting just

00:20:23.700 --> 00:20:24.420
 that section,

00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:25.160
 Jesus means

00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:25.640
 the whole

00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:25.980
 thing.

00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:26.920
 In other

00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:27.240
 words,

00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:28.059
 human life

00:20:28.059 --> 00:20:28.519
 does not

00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:29.460
 consist in

00:20:29.460 --> 00:20:29.940
 simple

00:20:29.940 --> 00:20:30.779
 dependence on

00:20:30.779 --> 00:20:31.200
 food,

00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:32.039
 but in

00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:32.420
 total

00:20:32.420 --> 00:20:33.400
 dependence on

00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:33.799
 God's

00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:34.140
 word.

00:20:35.019 --> 00:20:35.539
 If you want

00:20:35.539 --> 00:20:35.940
 to be a

00:20:35.940 --> 00:20:36.599
 human being,

00:20:37.120 --> 00:20:37.859
 this weekend,

00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:38.720
 you can eat

00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:39.200
 your food

00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:39.859
 next door,

00:20:40.859 --> 00:20:41.519
 but you have

00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:42.640
 not exhibited

00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:43.740
 true humanity,

00:20:44.140 --> 00:20:44.779
 if that's all

00:20:44.779 --> 00:20:45.140
 you do.

00:20:45.140 --> 00:20:47.600
 true humanity

00:20:47.600 --> 00:20:48.660
 is exhibited

00:20:48.660 --> 00:20:50.220
 in total

00:20:50.220 --> 00:20:51.160
 dependence

00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:53.020
 on God's

00:20:53.020 --> 00:20:53.460
 word.

00:20:55.460 --> 00:20:55.820
 Adam

00:20:55.820 --> 00:20:57.420
 chose to

00:20:57.420 --> 00:20:57.740
 act

00:20:57.740 --> 00:20:58.560
 independently

00:20:58.560 --> 00:20:59.100
 of God.

00:20:59.180 --> 00:20:59.580
 He took

00:20:59.580 --> 00:21:00.480
 the forbidden

00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:01.020
 fruit.

00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:02.320
 Israel acted

00:21:02.320 --> 00:21:03.020
 independently

00:21:03.020 --> 00:21:03.580
 of God.

00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:04.380
 They grumbled

00:21:04.380 --> 00:21:05.020
 about the

00:21:05.020 --> 00:21:06.000
 given food,

00:21:06.700 --> 00:21:07.600
 but not so

00:21:07.600 --> 00:21:08.280
 this son.

00:21:09.080 --> 00:21:09.759
 He's different.

00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:11.560
 Here is a

00:21:11.560 --> 00:21:13.820
 son who

00:21:13.819 --> 00:21:15.059
 depends on

00:21:15.059 --> 00:21:15.519
 God

00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:16.299
 wholly.

00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:19.220
 Number two,

00:21:19.659 --> 00:21:20.519
 a son who

00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:21.339
 worships God

00:21:21.339 --> 00:21:21.759
 only.

00:21:22.179 --> 00:21:22.859
 A son who

00:21:22.859 --> 00:21:23.599
 worships God

00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:24.039
 only.

00:21:24.139 --> 00:21:24.899
 Verses five

00:21:24.899 --> 00:21:25.439
 to eight.

00:21:25.980 --> 00:21:26.460
 And the devil

00:21:26.460 --> 00:21:27.079
 took Jesus

00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:27.679
 up and showed

00:21:27.679 --> 00:21:28.119
 him all the

00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:28.659
 kingdoms of

00:21:28.659 --> 00:21:29.139
 the world

00:21:29.139 --> 00:21:30.179
 in a moment

00:21:30.179 --> 00:21:30.899
 of time and

00:21:30.899 --> 00:21:31.419
 said to him,

00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:32.779
 to you I

00:21:32.779 --> 00:21:33.200
 will give

00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:33.839
 all this

00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:34.419
 authority

00:21:34.419 --> 00:21:35.639
 and their

00:21:35.639 --> 00:21:36.019
 glory,

00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:36.759
 for it has

00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:37.299
 been delivered

00:21:37.299 --> 00:21:37.799
 to me,

00:21:38.139 --> 00:21:38.700
 and I will

00:21:38.700 --> 00:21:39.200
 give it to

00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:39.899
 whom I will.

00:21:40.339 --> 00:21:41.119
 If you

00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:41.720
 then will

00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:42.399
 worship me,

00:21:42.879 --> 00:21:43.359
 it will

00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:43.899
 all be

00:21:43.899 --> 00:21:44.419
 yours.

00:21:44.859 --> 00:21:45.299
 And Jesus

00:21:45.299 --> 00:21:46.079
 answered him,

00:21:46.500 --> 00:21:47.299
 it is written,

00:21:47.719 --> 00:21:48.139
 you shall

00:21:48.139 --> 00:21:48.859
 worship the

00:21:48.859 --> 00:21:49.259
 Lord your

00:21:49.259 --> 00:21:50.459
 God and

00:21:50.459 --> 00:21:51.539
 serve him

00:21:51.539 --> 00:21:52.419
 only.

00:21:53.059 --> 00:21:54.059
 The temptation

00:21:54.059 --> 00:21:54.759
 is a simple

00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:55.059
 one.

00:21:55.139 --> 00:21:55.759
 In order to

00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:56.379
 receive all

00:21:56.379 --> 00:21:56.799
 the kingdoms

00:21:56.799 --> 00:21:57.519
 of the world,

00:21:58.099 --> 00:21:58.839
 Jesus must

00:21:58.839 --> 00:22:00.059
 worship Satan.

00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:01.539
 There are

00:22:01.539 --> 00:22:02.179
 echoes in

00:22:02.179 --> 00:22:02.939
 verse six

00:22:02.939 --> 00:22:04.240
 of Psalm

00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:05.000
 chapter two

00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:05.779
 verse eight

00:22:05.779 --> 00:22:07.759
 and Daniel

00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:08.539
 chapter seven

00:22:08.539 --> 00:22:09.419
 verse fourteen.

00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:10.199
 In verse six

00:22:10.199 --> 00:22:10.740
 the word

00:22:10.740 --> 00:22:11.819
 giving

00:22:11.819 --> 00:22:13.480
 and I

00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:14.099
 will give

00:22:14.099 --> 00:22:14.859
 to you

00:22:14.859 --> 00:22:15.920
 all the

00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:16.380
 kingdoms.

00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:17.759
 Psalm two

00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:18.259
 verse eight

00:22:18.259 --> 00:22:19.059
 ask me

00:22:19.059 --> 00:22:19.500
 and I

00:22:19.500 --> 00:22:20.019
 will give

00:22:20.019 --> 00:22:20.420
 you the

00:22:20.420 --> 00:22:20.859
 nations

00:22:20.859 --> 00:22:21.720
 as your

00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:22.220
 inheritance.

00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:23.200
 And the

00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:23.759
 reference to

00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:24.420
 authority

00:22:24.420 --> 00:22:25.640
 in verse six

00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:27.059
 reflects Daniel

00:22:27.059 --> 00:22:27.519
 seven

00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:28.359
 verse fourteen.

00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:29.259
 I saw in the

00:22:29.259 --> 00:22:29.900
 night visions

00:22:29.900 --> 00:22:30.579
 and behold

00:22:30.579 --> 00:22:31.599
 with the clouds

00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:32.019
 of heaven

00:22:32.019 --> 00:22:32.440
 there came

00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:33.079
 one like a

00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:33.759
 son of man

00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:34.720
 and he came

00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:35.039
 to the

00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:35.500
 ancient of

00:22:35.500 --> 00:22:36.019
 days and

00:22:36.019 --> 00:22:36.579
 was presented

00:22:36.579 --> 00:22:37.160
 before him

00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:37.819
 and to him

00:22:37.819 --> 00:22:38.500
 was given

00:22:38.500 --> 00:22:40.339
 authority

00:22:40.339 --> 00:22:41.919
 and glory

00:22:41.919 --> 00:22:42.639
 and a

00:22:42.639 --> 00:22:43.179
 kingdom that

00:22:43.179 --> 00:22:43.779
 all peoples

00:22:43.779 --> 00:22:44.480
 nations and

00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:45.259
 languages should

00:22:45.259 --> 00:22:45.799
 serve him.

00:22:46.299 --> 00:22:47.200
 His authority

00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:48.639
 is an everlasting

00:22:48.639 --> 00:22:50.339
 authority which

00:22:50.339 --> 00:22:51.119
 shall not pass

00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:51.359
 away.

00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:52.279
 His kingdom

00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:53.220
 one that

00:22:53.220 --> 00:22:54.019
 shall not be

00:22:54.019 --> 00:22:55.099
 destroyed.

00:22:56.019 --> 00:22:56.700
 So think

00:22:56.700 --> 00:22:57.099
 about it.

00:22:57.159 --> 00:22:57.619
 Psalm two

00:22:57.619 --> 00:22:58.139
 verse eight

00:22:58.139 --> 00:22:58.859
 Daniel seven

00:22:58.859 --> 00:23:00.319
 verse fourteen

00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:01.819
 made clear that

00:23:01.819 --> 00:23:02.659
 the kingdoms

00:23:02.659 --> 00:23:03.919
 of the world

00:23:03.919 --> 00:23:05.259
 would be

00:23:05.259 --> 00:23:06.500
 given to

00:23:06.500 --> 00:23:07.519
 God's son.

00:23:09.259 --> 00:23:10.019
 It was just

00:23:10.019 --> 00:23:10.579
 a matter of

00:23:10.579 --> 00:23:11.099
 how he was

00:23:11.099 --> 00:23:11.420
 going to

00:23:11.420 --> 00:23:11.779
 get them.

00:23:12.579 --> 00:23:13.039
 Would he

00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:13.880
 take the

00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:15.099
 shortcut here

00:23:15.099 --> 00:23:16.400
 by worshipping

00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:18.039
 Satan and

00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:18.740
 receive all the

00:23:18.740 --> 00:23:19.359
 kingdoms of the

00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:20.140
 world or

00:23:20.140 --> 00:23:20.839
 would he take

00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:21.519
 the long

00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:23.819
 course of

00:23:23.819 --> 00:23:25.079
 suffering and

00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:26.740
 obedience and

00:23:26.740 --> 00:23:27.859
 then receive all

00:23:27.859 --> 00:23:28.559
 the kingdoms of

00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:28.960
 the earth.

00:23:29.539 --> 00:23:30.180
 The father's

00:23:30.180 --> 00:23:30.819
 will is the

00:23:30.819 --> 00:23:31.500
 long course

00:23:31.500 --> 00:23:32.380
 Satan's will

00:23:32.380 --> 00:23:33.220
 is the short

00:23:33.220 --> 00:23:33.700
 course.

00:23:34.940 --> 00:23:35.519
 What Satan

00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:36.119
 is trying to

00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:36.599
 get Jesus

00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:37.059
 to do

00:23:37.059 --> 00:23:38.000
 here is

00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:38.859
 to grasp

00:23:38.859 --> 00:23:39.799
 for something

00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:40.679
 before his

00:23:40.679 --> 00:23:41.159
 time.

00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:43.319
 He's trying

00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:44.399
 in essence

00:23:44.399 --> 00:23:45.379
 to destroy

00:23:45.379 --> 00:23:46.539
 God.

00:23:47.299 --> 00:23:47.839
 He's trying

00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:48.119
 to get

00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:48.739
 Jesus to

00:23:48.739 --> 00:23:49.319
 snatch

00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:50.039
 something from

00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:50.579
 his father

00:23:50.579 --> 00:23:51.179
 before his

00:23:51.179 --> 00:23:52.039
 father's ready

00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:53.079
 to give it

00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:53.459
 to him.

00:23:53.959 --> 00:23:54.379
 And Jesus

00:23:54.379 --> 00:23:55.339
 responds in

00:23:55.339 --> 00:23:56.359
 verse eight

00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:58.099
 you shall

00:23:58.099 --> 00:23:58.699
 worship the

00:23:58.699 --> 00:23:59.059
 Lord your

00:23:59.059 --> 00:23:59.879
 God and him

00:23:59.879 --> 00:24:01.139
 only shall

00:24:01.139 --> 00:24:01.919
 you serve.

00:24:02.239 --> 00:24:02.599
 A quote

00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:02.859
 from

00:24:02.859 --> 00:24:03.599
 Deuteronomy

00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:04.519
 six verse

00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:05.099
 thirteen.

00:24:05.099 --> 00:24:07.480
 Jesus chooses

00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:08.219
 to worship

00:24:08.219 --> 00:24:09.859
 God only.

00:24:10.859 --> 00:24:11.519
 As God's

00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:12.259
 son Adam

00:24:12.259 --> 00:24:13.019
 exchanged the

00:24:13.019 --> 00:24:13.639
 worship of his

00:24:13.639 --> 00:24:14.339
 father for the

00:24:14.339 --> 00:24:14.859
 worship of a

00:24:14.859 --> 00:24:15.259
 creature,

00:24:15.919 --> 00:24:16.339
 a serpent.

00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:17.519
 As God's

00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:18.299
 son Israel

00:24:18.299 --> 00:24:19.079
 exchanged the

00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:19.679
 worship of his

00:24:19.679 --> 00:24:20.399
 father for the

00:24:20.399 --> 00:24:21.139
 worship of another

00:24:21.139 --> 00:24:22.099
 creature, a

00:24:22.099 --> 00:24:22.539
 calf.

00:24:23.539 --> 00:24:24.299
 As God's

00:24:24.299 --> 00:24:25.859
 son Jesus

00:24:25.859 --> 00:24:26.779
 is tempted to

00:24:26.779 --> 00:24:28.039
 worship Satan

00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:30.439
 but instead he

00:24:30.439 --> 00:24:31.559
 worships his

00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:33.039
 father only.

00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:34.480
 and because of

00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:35.119
 his loyalty

00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:36.899
 he will be

00:24:36.899 --> 00:24:38.440
 rewarded with

00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:39.279
 sovereignty.

00:24:40.579 --> 00:24:41.200
 Adam bowed

00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:41.619
 the knee to

00:24:41.619 --> 00:24:42.139
 a serpent,

00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:42.879
 he was kicked

00:24:42.879 --> 00:24:43.940
 out of the

00:24:43.940 --> 00:24:44.480
 garden of

00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:45.000
 paradise.

00:24:45.180 --> 00:24:45.799
 Israel bowed

00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:46.200
 the knee to

00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:46.940
 a calf and

00:24:46.940 --> 00:24:47.539
 later to the

00:24:47.539 --> 00:24:48.980
 beals and he

00:24:48.980 --> 00:24:49.700
 was later kicked

00:24:49.700 --> 00:24:50.619
 out of the

00:24:50.619 --> 00:24:51.500
 promised land.

00:24:52.299 --> 00:24:53.399
 Jesus refuses

00:24:53.399 --> 00:24:54.240
 to bow the

00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:55.019
 knee to Satan

00:24:55.019 --> 00:24:56.039
 and as a result

00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:56.700
 he will be

00:24:56.700 --> 00:24:57.379
 given this

00:24:57.379 --> 00:24:58.240
 land and

00:24:58.240 --> 00:24:59.220
 every land

00:24:59.220 --> 00:25:00.900
 and all the

00:25:00.900 --> 00:25:02.299
 kingdoms of

00:25:02.299 --> 00:25:02.839
 the world.

00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:04.480
 Here is a

00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:05.579
 son who

00:25:05.579 --> 00:25:06.680
 worships God

00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:07.420
 only.

00:25:08.980 --> 00:25:09.519
 Well Luke is

00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:10.100
 showing us a

00:25:10.100 --> 00:25:10.940
 son who depends

00:25:10.940 --> 00:25:11.420
 on God

00:25:11.420 --> 00:25:12.420
 wholly, a

00:25:12.420 --> 00:25:13.059
 son who

00:25:13.059 --> 00:25:13.680
 worships God

00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:14.100
 only and

00:25:14.100 --> 00:25:15.120
 third a

00:25:15.120 --> 00:25:15.600
 son who

00:25:15.600 --> 00:25:16.600
 trusts God

00:25:16.600 --> 00:25:17.259
 completely

00:25:17.259 --> 00:25:19.039
 chapter 4

00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:19.720
 verse 9

00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:21.039
 to 12.

00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:22.120
 And he took

00:25:22.120 --> 00:25:22.380
 him to

00:25:22.380 --> 00:25:23.140
 Jerusalem and

00:25:23.140 --> 00:25:23.539
 set him on

00:25:23.539 --> 00:25:23.980
 the pinnacle

00:25:23.980 --> 00:25:24.360
 of the

00:25:24.360 --> 00:25:24.900
 temple and

00:25:24.900 --> 00:25:25.220
 said to

00:25:25.220 --> 00:25:26.539
 him if you

00:25:26.539 --> 00:25:26.900
 are the

00:25:26.900 --> 00:25:27.259
 son of

00:25:27.259 --> 00:25:28.519
 God throw

00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:29.339
 yourself down

00:25:29.339 --> 00:25:29.819
 from here

00:25:29.819 --> 00:25:30.400
 for it is

00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:31.339
 written he

00:25:31.339 --> 00:25:32.019
 will command

00:25:32.019 --> 00:25:32.700
 his angels

00:25:32.700 --> 00:25:33.619
 concerning you

00:25:33.619 --> 00:25:34.099
 to guard

00:25:34.099 --> 00:25:34.980
 you and

00:25:34.980 --> 00:25:35.460
 on their

00:25:35.460 --> 00:25:36.119
 hands they

00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:36.579
 will bear

00:25:36.579 --> 00:25:37.299
 you up lest

00:25:37.299 --> 00:25:37.920
 you strike

00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:38.359
 your foot

00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:38.940
 against a

00:25:38.940 --> 00:25:39.259
 stone.

00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:40.379
 And Jesus

00:25:40.379 --> 00:25:41.119
 answered him

00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:42.220
 it is said

00:25:42.220 --> 00:25:43.359
 you shall

00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:44.019
 not put the

00:25:44.019 --> 00:25:44.420
 Lord your

00:25:44.420 --> 00:25:45.500
 God to

00:25:45.500 --> 00:25:46.279
 the test.

00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:48.639
 Jesus has

00:25:48.639 --> 00:25:49.680
 quoted the

00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:50.139
 Bible,

00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:50.980
 Old Testament

00:25:50.980 --> 00:25:52.079
 to Satan

00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:52.740
 twice and

00:25:52.740 --> 00:25:53.259
 now Satan

00:25:53.259 --> 00:25:53.900
 tries his

00:25:53.900 --> 00:25:55.579
 own go at

00:25:55.579 --> 00:25:56.000
 a bit of

00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:56.900
 Bible memory

00:25:56.900 --> 00:25:58.259
 recitation.

00:25:59.259 --> 00:25:59.839
 He quotes

00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:00.460
 Satan

00:26:00.460 --> 00:26:00.940
 quotes

00:26:00.940 --> 00:26:02.119
 Psalm 91

00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:04.619
 a psalm

00:26:04.619 --> 00:26:05.059
 that promises

00:26:05.059 --> 00:26:05.539
 God's

00:26:05.539 --> 00:26:06.339
 protection for

00:26:06.339 --> 00:26:06.779
 those who

00:26:06.779 --> 00:26:07.839
 trust in

00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:08.119
 him.

00:26:09.139 --> 00:26:09.420
 If the

00:26:09.420 --> 00:26:10.099
 first temptation

00:26:10.099 --> 00:26:10.839
 was to test

00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:11.240
 God's

00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:11.660
 provision

00:26:11.660 --> 00:26:12.299
 this one

00:26:12.299 --> 00:26:12.639
 is about

00:26:12.639 --> 00:26:13.539
 testing God's

00:26:13.539 --> 00:26:14.139
 protection.

00:26:14.879 --> 00:26:15.700
 What Satan

00:26:15.700 --> 00:26:16.299
 is saying to

00:26:16.299 --> 00:26:17.139
 Jesus here is

00:26:17.139 --> 00:26:18.440
 let go and

00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:19.359
 let God.

00:26:20.279 --> 00:26:21.240
 Let go and

00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:21.900
 let God.

00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:22.500
 In a sense

00:26:22.500 --> 00:26:23.319
 Satan was

00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:23.759
 saying to

00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:24.639
 Jesus what

00:26:24.639 --> 00:26:25.220
 he said to

00:26:25.220 --> 00:26:25.500
 Adam.

00:26:26.180 --> 00:26:27.000
 You will

00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:27.599
 not

00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:28.240
 surely

00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:29.059
 die.

00:26:29.900 --> 00:26:30.460
 Jump off

00:26:30.460 --> 00:26:30.980
 the temple

00:26:30.980 --> 00:26:31.740
 you will

00:26:31.740 --> 00:26:32.039
 not

00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:32.420
 surely

00:26:32.420 --> 00:26:32.900
 die.

00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:34.400
 Won't

00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:34.660
 your

00:26:34.660 --> 00:26:35.019
 father

00:26:35.019 --> 00:26:35.579
 send you

00:26:35.579 --> 00:26:36.180
 the angels

00:26:36.180 --> 00:26:36.839
 to protect

00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:37.119
 you?

00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:38.960
 And the

00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:39.579
 reason he's

00:26:39.579 --> 00:26:40.039
 saying that

00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:40.500
 is because

00:26:40.500 --> 00:26:40.819
 of where

00:26:40.819 --> 00:26:41.359
 Jesus is

00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:41.839
 standing.

00:26:42.059 --> 00:26:42.539
 The temple

00:26:42.539 --> 00:26:43.000
 was a

00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:43.480
 symbol of

00:26:43.480 --> 00:26:43.819
 God's

00:26:43.819 --> 00:26:44.380
 presence.

00:26:45.059 --> 00:26:45.440
 If God

00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:45.720
 is going

00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:46.220
 to rescue

00:26:46.220 --> 00:26:47.380
 anyone it

00:26:47.380 --> 00:26:47.619
 will be

00:26:47.619 --> 00:26:48.259
 his son

00:26:48.259 --> 00:26:48.640
 whom he

00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:49.400
 loves and

00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:49.700
 if he's

00:26:49.700 --> 00:26:49.980
 going to

00:26:49.980 --> 00:26:50.599
 rescue his

00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:51.380
 son anywhere

00:26:51.380 --> 00:26:52.799
 it will

00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:53.900
 be on his

00:26:53.900 --> 00:26:54.839
 front doorstep

00:26:54.839 --> 00:26:55.919
 at the

00:26:55.919 --> 00:26:56.240
 temple.

00:26:57.419 --> 00:26:57.819
 He's

00:26:57.819 --> 00:26:58.339
 hardly about

00:26:58.339 --> 00:26:58.619
 to let

00:26:58.619 --> 00:26:59.059
 his son

00:26:59.059 --> 00:26:59.599
 die in

00:26:59.599 --> 00:26:59.939
 his own

00:26:59.939 --> 00:27:00.259
 home.

00:27:02.019 --> 00:27:02.459
 But the

00:27:02.459 --> 00:27:03.000
 problem with

00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:03.459
 Satan's

00:27:03.459 --> 00:27:05.579
 quote is

00:27:05.579 --> 00:27:05.939
 that it's

00:27:05.939 --> 00:27:06.259
 out of

00:27:06.259 --> 00:27:07.000
 context.

00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:07.399
 If you

00:27:07.399 --> 00:27:08.119
 flick back

00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:08.639
 with me to

00:27:08.639 --> 00:27:09.459
 Psalm 91.

00:27:10.819 --> 00:27:11.879
 Psalm 91.

00:27:18.399 --> 00:27:19.119
 Keep your

00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:19.579
 finger in

00:27:19.579 --> 00:27:20.159
 Luke 4.

00:27:20.359 --> 00:27:21.279
 Psalm 91

00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:22.419
 verse 1 and

00:27:22.419 --> 00:27:22.619
 2.

00:27:22.619 --> 00:27:23.459
 He who

00:27:23.459 --> 00:27:24.119
 dwells in

00:27:24.119 --> 00:27:24.659
 the shelter

00:27:24.659 --> 00:27:25.000
 of the

00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:25.699
 Most High

00:27:25.699 --> 00:27:26.779
 will abide

00:27:26.779 --> 00:27:27.179
 in the

00:27:27.179 --> 00:27:27.779
 shadow of

00:27:27.779 --> 00:27:28.339
 the Almighty.

00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:28.779
 I will

00:27:28.779 --> 00:27:29.379
 say to

00:27:29.379 --> 00:27:29.799
 the Lord

00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:31.219
 my refuge

00:27:31.219 --> 00:27:31.739
 and my

00:27:31.739 --> 00:27:32.379
 fortress

00:27:32.379 --> 00:27:33.239
 my God

00:27:33.239 --> 00:27:34.219
 in whom

00:27:34.219 --> 00:27:35.019
 I trust.

00:27:35.779 --> 00:27:36.000
 Do you

00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:36.379
 see what

00:27:36.379 --> 00:27:36.959
 Psalm 91

00:27:36.959 --> 00:27:37.479
 is about?

00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:37.919
 It's about

00:27:37.919 --> 00:27:38.359
 those who

00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:39.899
 trust in

00:27:39.899 --> 00:27:40.259
 the Lord

00:27:40.259 --> 00:27:41.059
 for refuge

00:27:41.059 --> 00:27:41.659
 not about

00:27:41.659 --> 00:27:42.139
 those who

00:27:42.139 --> 00:27:43.679
 test the

00:27:43.679 --> 00:27:44.239
 Lord for

00:27:44.239 --> 00:27:44.839
 refuge.

00:27:45.419 --> 00:27:45.699
 Hence

00:27:45.699 --> 00:27:46.419
 why Jesus

00:27:46.419 --> 00:27:47.419
 quotes

00:27:47.419 --> 00:27:48.079
 Deuteronomy

00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:49.039
 6.16

00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:49.579
 back in

00:27:49.579 --> 00:27:50.159
 Luke 4 and

00:27:50.159 --> 00:27:50.619
 says do

00:27:50.619 --> 00:27:51.699
 not test

00:27:51.700 --> 00:27:52.900
 the Lord

00:27:52.900 --> 00:27:53.480
 your God.

00:27:53.940 --> 00:27:54.759
 Again it's

00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:55.340
 not the full

00:27:55.340 --> 00:27:55.860
 quote it's

00:27:55.860 --> 00:27:56.200
 like that

00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:57.019
 iceberg it's

00:27:57.019 --> 00:27:57.360
 just the

00:27:57.360 --> 00:27:58.160
 tip and

00:27:58.160 --> 00:27:58.400
 when you

00:27:58.400 --> 00:27:58.720
 go and

00:27:58.720 --> 00:27:59.279
 you read

00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:00.039
 Deuteronomy

00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:00.580
 6 verse

00:28:00.580 --> 00:28:01.240
 16 it

00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:02.019
 says you

00:28:02.019 --> 00:28:02.620
 shall not

00:28:02.620 --> 00:28:03.120
 test the

00:28:03.120 --> 00:28:03.460
 Lord your

00:28:03.460 --> 00:28:05.340
 God as

00:28:05.340 --> 00:28:05.900
 you did

00:28:05.900 --> 00:28:06.840
 at Massa.

00:28:07.340 --> 00:28:07.720
 Now what

00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:08.180
 did Israel

00:28:08.180 --> 00:28:08.580
 do at

00:28:08.580 --> 00:28:09.180
 Massa?

00:28:09.819 --> 00:28:10.259
 Well in

00:28:10.259 --> 00:28:11.420
 Exodus 17

00:28:11.420 --> 00:28:12.019
 they said

00:28:12.019 --> 00:28:13.299
 this is

00:28:13.299 --> 00:28:13.880
 the Lord

00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:14.519
 among us

00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:15.000
 or not?

00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:16.340
 They were

00:28:16.340 --> 00:28:17.120
 complaining about

00:28:17.120 --> 00:28:17.680
 the water

00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:18.660
 and the bread

00:28:18.660 --> 00:28:19.240
 and they're

00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:19.779
 saying is he

00:28:19.779 --> 00:28:20.160
 with us

00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:20.599
 or not?

00:28:21.099 --> 00:28:21.440
 Where's

00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:22.220
 his presence?

00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:24.240
 Will he

00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:24.879
 really do

00:28:24.879 --> 00:28:25.299
 what he

00:28:25.299 --> 00:28:25.799
 said he

00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:26.240
 will do?

00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:27.220
 Provide for

00:28:27.220 --> 00:28:27.480
 us.

00:28:27.859 --> 00:28:28.240
 And that

00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:29.039
 was Satan's

00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:29.799
 temptation to

00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:30.099
 Jesus.

00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:31.019
 Test and

00:28:31.019 --> 00:28:32.079
 see if God

00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:32.599
 is really

00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:33.500
 with you.

00:28:34.579 --> 00:28:35.119
 Test and

00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:35.539
 see if he

00:28:35.539 --> 00:28:36.240
 is true to

00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:36.859
 his word

00:28:36.859 --> 00:28:37.480
 whether he

00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:37.879
 will be

00:28:37.879 --> 00:28:38.660
 your refuge

00:28:38.660 --> 00:28:39.180
 or not.

00:28:39.639 --> 00:28:40.519
 See if he

00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:41.000
 is your

00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:42.940
 father or

00:28:42.940 --> 00:28:43.399
 not.

00:28:45.339 --> 00:28:45.839
 But the

00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:46.379
 problem with

00:28:46.379 --> 00:28:47.240
 Satan's test

00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:47.879
 is that God

00:28:47.879 --> 00:28:48.379
 the father

00:28:48.379 --> 00:28:48.819
 is not the

00:28:48.819 --> 00:28:49.240
 one on

00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:49.779
 probation.

00:28:50.879 --> 00:28:51.740
 Jesus is.

00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:53.480
 And Jesus

00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:54.279
 resists the

00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:54.740
 temptation.

00:28:54.939 --> 00:28:55.779
 He trusts

00:28:55.779 --> 00:28:56.599
 his father's

00:28:56.599 --> 00:28:57.079
 protection.

00:28:57.740 --> 00:28:58.179
 He does

00:28:58.179 --> 00:28:58.919
 not test

00:28:58.919 --> 00:28:59.799
 his father's

00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:00.480
 protection.

00:29:00.819 --> 00:29:01.659
 He trusts

00:29:01.659 --> 00:29:02.099
 that his

00:29:02.099 --> 00:29:02.639
 father is

00:29:02.639 --> 00:29:03.939
 present and

00:29:03.939 --> 00:29:04.720
 will provide

00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:05.339
 for him in

00:29:05.339 --> 00:29:05.919
 due course.

00:29:06.379 --> 00:29:06.679
 He does

00:29:06.679 --> 00:29:07.480
 not test

00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:08.579
 his father's

00:29:08.579 --> 00:29:09.099
 presence.

00:29:10.399 --> 00:29:10.799
 Adam in

00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:11.279
 the garden

00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:12.379
 tested to

00:29:12.379 --> 00:29:12.960
 see if God

00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:13.279
 would do

00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:13.579
 what he

00:29:13.579 --> 00:29:14.000
 said he'd

00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:14.179
 do.

00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:14.779
 Punish

00:29:14.779 --> 00:29:15.679
 if they

00:29:15.679 --> 00:29:16.079
 ate from

00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:17.039
 the forbidden

00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:17.519
 tree.

00:29:18.819 --> 00:29:19.379
 Will we

00:29:19.379 --> 00:29:20.299
 really die

00:29:20.299 --> 00:29:20.919
 if we

00:29:20.919 --> 00:29:21.319
 eat from

00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:21.679
 this?

00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:23.919
 Israel in

00:29:23.919 --> 00:29:24.339
 the desert

00:29:24.339 --> 00:29:25.059
 tested to

00:29:25.059 --> 00:29:25.639
 see if God

00:29:25.639 --> 00:29:26.000
 would do

00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:26.299
 what he

00:29:26.299 --> 00:29:26.720
 said he'd

00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:26.899
 do.

00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:27.740
 Provide for

00:29:27.740 --> 00:29:28.139
 them by

00:29:28.139 --> 00:29:29.000
 being present

00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:29.500
 with them.

00:29:29.779 --> 00:29:30.339
 Is the

00:29:30.339 --> 00:29:30.980
 Lord among

00:29:30.980 --> 00:29:31.859
 us or not?

00:29:32.539 --> 00:29:32.960
 And Jesus

00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:33.700
 at the temple

00:29:33.700 --> 00:29:35.299
 does not

00:29:35.299 --> 00:29:37.159
 test if God

00:29:37.159 --> 00:29:37.779
 would do

00:29:37.779 --> 00:29:38.339
 what he said

00:29:38.339 --> 00:29:38.779
 he'd do.

00:29:39.139 --> 00:29:39.460
 Protect

00:29:39.460 --> 00:29:39.859
 him.

00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:41.139
 Rather he

00:29:41.139 --> 00:29:42.379
 trusts that

00:29:42.379 --> 00:29:42.819
 God will

00:29:42.819 --> 00:29:43.539
 protect him

00:29:43.539 --> 00:29:44.859
 because he

00:29:44.859 --> 00:29:45.419
 trusts that

00:29:45.419 --> 00:29:46.519
 God is with

00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:46.779
 him.

00:29:47.099 --> 00:29:47.639
 Here is a

00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:48.820
 son who

00:29:48.820 --> 00:29:49.759
 trusts God

00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:50.900
 completely.

00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:54.580
 So we've

00:29:54.580 --> 00:29:55.280
 seen that

00:29:55.280 --> 00:29:55.860
 Jesus has

00:29:55.860 --> 00:29:57.080
 passed the

00:29:57.080 --> 00:29:57.880
 test three

00:29:57.880 --> 00:29:58.520
 times.

00:29:59.520 --> 00:30:00.100
 A son who

00:30:00.100 --> 00:30:01.400
 depends on

00:30:01.400 --> 00:30:01.960
 God

00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:02.860
 wholly,

00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:04.920
 a son who

00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:05.800
 worships God

00:30:05.800 --> 00:30:06.180
 only,

00:30:06.620 --> 00:30:07.320
 and a son

00:30:07.320 --> 00:30:08.100
 who trusts

00:30:08.100 --> 00:30:08.620
 God

00:30:08.620 --> 00:30:09.660
 completely.

00:30:10.300 --> 00:30:10.820
 But this

00:30:10.820 --> 00:30:11.220
 was not

00:30:11.220 --> 00:30:12.100
 Jesus' last

00:30:12.100 --> 00:30:12.700
 temptation.

00:30:13.340 --> 00:30:13.540
 Did you

00:30:13.540 --> 00:30:14.080
 notice that

00:30:14.080 --> 00:30:14.460
 in verse

00:30:14.460 --> 00:30:14.980
 13?

00:30:15.600 --> 00:30:16.060
 And when the

00:30:16.060 --> 00:30:16.560
 devil had

00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:17.179
 ended every

00:30:17.179 --> 00:30:17.799
 temptation,

00:30:18.539 --> 00:30:19.179
 he departed

00:30:19.179 --> 00:30:19.799
 from him

00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:20.559
 until an

00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:21.619
 opportune

00:30:21.619 --> 00:30:22.099
 time.

00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:24.440
 When was

00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:26.159
 that opportune

00:30:26.159 --> 00:30:26.599
 time?

00:30:28.539 --> 00:30:29.359
 Well, we

00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:29.679
 know the

00:30:29.679 --> 00:30:30.399
 Pharisees were

00:30:30.399 --> 00:30:30.899
 children of

00:30:30.899 --> 00:30:32.599
 the devil who

00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:33.179
 constantly

00:30:33.179 --> 00:30:34.079
 attacked Jesus.

00:30:34.859 --> 00:30:35.399
 We have the

00:30:35.399 --> 00:30:36.019
 incident where

00:30:36.019 --> 00:30:37.399
 Peter tries to

00:30:37.399 --> 00:30:38.099
 stop Jesus

00:30:38.099 --> 00:30:38.659
 going to the

00:30:38.659 --> 00:30:39.259
 cross and

00:30:39.259 --> 00:30:40.379
 Jesus says,

00:30:40.539 --> 00:30:42.019
 get behind

00:30:42.019 --> 00:30:42.319
 me,

00:30:42.500 --> 00:30:42.819
 Satan.

00:30:42.819 --> 00:30:45.119
 But Satan

00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:45.919
 returns with

00:30:45.919 --> 00:30:46.480
 his most

00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:47.299
 forceful

00:30:47.299 --> 00:30:47.899
 temptation

00:30:47.899 --> 00:30:48.779
 during Jesus'

00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:49.579
 passion.

00:30:50.679 --> 00:30:51.119
 In Luke

00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:51.980
 chapter 22,

00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:53.000
 we read that

00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:54.119
 Satan enters

00:30:54.119 --> 00:30:55.579
 Judas Iscariot

00:30:55.579 --> 00:30:56.919
 just before the

00:30:56.919 --> 00:30:57.579
 Last Supper,

00:30:57.759 --> 00:30:58.379
 and then Judas

00:30:58.379 --> 00:30:59.399
 goes out into

00:30:59.399 --> 00:30:59.960
 the night

00:30:59.960 --> 00:31:01.299
 to betray

00:31:01.299 --> 00:31:01.819
 Jesus.

00:31:02.460 --> 00:31:02.759
 Jesus'

00:31:03.019 --> 00:31:04.200
 last temptation

00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:05.619
 is one

00:31:05.619 --> 00:31:06.399
 long,

00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:07.259
 extended

00:31:07.259 --> 00:31:08.200
 temptation

00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:10.640
 that lasts

00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:10.960
 from

00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:12.000
 Gethsemane

00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:13.380
 till Golgotha.

00:31:14.940 --> 00:31:15.539
 I want you

00:31:15.539 --> 00:31:16.059
 to come with

00:31:16.059 --> 00:31:16.840
 me and let

00:31:16.840 --> 00:31:17.580
 us see this

00:31:17.580 --> 00:31:18.319
 temptation.

00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:19.360
 Luke 22,

00:31:19.940 --> 00:31:21.420
 verse 39.

00:31:31.100 --> 00:31:32.000
 And Jesus

00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:32.580
 came out

00:31:32.580 --> 00:31:33.059
 and went,

00:31:33.259 --> 00:31:33.940
 as was his

00:31:33.940 --> 00:31:34.360
 custom,

00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:34.740
 to the

00:31:34.740 --> 00:31:35.480
 Mount of Olives.

00:31:35.940 --> 00:31:36.259
 And the

00:31:36.259 --> 00:31:36.700
 disciples

00:31:36.700 --> 00:31:37.460
 followed him.

00:31:37.460 --> 00:31:38.259
 And when he

00:31:38.259 --> 00:31:38.620
 came to

00:31:38.620 --> 00:31:39.120
 the place,

00:31:39.259 --> 00:31:39.620
 he said

00:31:39.620 --> 00:31:40.000
 to them,

00:31:40.660 --> 00:31:41.579
 Pray that

00:31:41.579 --> 00:31:41.940
 you may

00:31:41.940 --> 00:31:42.539
 not enter

00:31:42.539 --> 00:31:42.960
 into

00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:43.559
 temptation.

00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:44.539
 The place

00:31:44.539 --> 00:31:44.900
 is the

00:31:44.900 --> 00:31:45.220
 garden

00:31:45.220 --> 00:31:46.000
 of

00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:46.759
 Gethsemane.

00:31:47.579 --> 00:31:48.000
 And he

00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:48.620
 withdrew with

00:31:48.620 --> 00:31:49.059
 them about

00:31:49.059 --> 00:31:49.759
 a stone's

00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:50.220
 throw and

00:31:50.220 --> 00:31:50.799
 knelt down

00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:51.299
 and prayed,

00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:51.680
 saying,

00:31:51.860 --> 00:31:52.220
 Father,

00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:53.319
 if you

00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:53.840
 are willing,

00:31:54.059 --> 00:31:55.000
 remove this

00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:56.039
 cup from

00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:56.340
 me.

00:31:57.319 --> 00:31:57.799
 Nevertheless,

00:31:58.200 --> 00:31:58.740
 not my

00:31:58.740 --> 00:31:58.960
 will,

00:31:59.039 --> 00:31:59.519
 but yours

00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:00.019
 be done.

00:32:00.860 --> 00:32:01.220
 And there

00:32:01.220 --> 00:32:01.779
 appeared to

00:32:01.779 --> 00:32:02.120
 him an

00:32:02.120 --> 00:32:02.700
 angel from

00:32:02.700 --> 00:32:03.059
 heaven,

00:32:03.660 --> 00:32:04.240
 strengthening

00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:04.700
 him.

00:32:05.380 --> 00:32:05.960
 And being

00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:06.440
 in an

00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:06.860
 agony,

00:32:06.859 --> 00:32:07.859
 he prayed

00:32:07.859 --> 00:32:08.240
 more

00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:08.799
 earnestly,

00:32:09.019 --> 00:32:09.359
 and his

00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:09.939
 sweat

00:32:09.939 --> 00:32:11.240
 became like

00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:12.439
 great drops

00:32:12.439 --> 00:32:13.240
 of blood

00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:14.740
 falling down

00:32:14.740 --> 00:32:15.119
 to the

00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:15.519
 ground.

00:32:16.959 --> 00:32:17.299
 And when

00:32:17.299 --> 00:32:17.839
 he rose

00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:18.500
 from prayer,

00:32:18.619 --> 00:32:19.139
 he said to

00:32:19.139 --> 00:32:19.759
 the disciples,

00:32:20.579 --> 00:32:21.199
 he came to

00:32:21.199 --> 00:32:21.759
 the disciples

00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:22.259
 and found

00:32:22.259 --> 00:32:22.819
 them sleeping

00:32:22.819 --> 00:32:23.559
 for sorrow,

00:32:23.659 --> 00:32:24.059
 and he said

00:32:24.059 --> 00:32:24.319
 to them,

00:32:24.379 --> 00:32:24.879
 Why are you

00:32:24.879 --> 00:32:25.339
 sleeping?

00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:26.519
 Rise and

00:32:26.519 --> 00:32:27.539
 pray that

00:32:27.539 --> 00:32:28.019
 you may

00:32:28.019 --> 00:32:28.719
 not enter

00:32:28.719 --> 00:32:29.519
 into

00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:30.240
 temptation.

00:32:31.179 --> 00:32:31.379
 Do you

00:32:31.379 --> 00:32:31.819
 note the

00:32:31.819 --> 00:32:32.419
 theme of

00:32:32.419 --> 00:32:32.939
 temptation?

00:32:32.940 --> 00:32:34.600
 verse 40,

00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:36.160
 pray that

00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:36.460
 you may

00:32:36.460 --> 00:32:36.920
 not enter

00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:37.160
 into

00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:37.700
 temptation.

00:32:38.019 --> 00:32:38.779
 Verse 46,

00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:40.100
 pray that

00:32:40.100 --> 00:32:40.420
 you may

00:32:40.420 --> 00:32:40.940
 not enter

00:32:40.940 --> 00:32:41.320
 into

00:32:41.320 --> 00:32:41.900
 temptation.

00:32:43.900 --> 00:32:44.960
 Verse 42,

00:32:45.380 --> 00:32:45.759
 Father,

00:32:46.420 --> 00:32:47.400
 if you

00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:48.100
 are

00:32:48.100 --> 00:32:49.019
 willing,

00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:52.080
 remove

00:32:52.080 --> 00:32:52.940
 this cup

00:32:52.940 --> 00:32:54.039
 from me.

00:32:55.320 --> 00:32:55.920
 I just

00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:56.240
 want to

00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:57.000
 pause there.

00:32:57.000 --> 00:32:58.700
 we're so

00:32:58.700 --> 00:32:59.359
 used to

00:32:59.359 --> 00:32:59.839
 reading the

00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:00.779
 final words,

00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:01.859
 but not

00:33:01.859 --> 00:33:02.500
 my will

00:33:02.500 --> 00:33:02.980
 be done,

00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:04.160
 but yours,

00:33:05.059 --> 00:33:05.759
 that we

00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:06.460
 skip over

00:33:06.460 --> 00:33:07.220
 those first

00:33:07.220 --> 00:33:07.720
 words.

00:33:09.339 --> 00:33:10.420
 If you

00:33:10.420 --> 00:33:11.359
 are willing,

00:33:12.140 --> 00:33:12.440
 Father,

00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:14.640
 please

00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:15.480
 take

00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:16.259
 this

00:33:16.259 --> 00:33:16.960
 cup

00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:18.339
 from me.

00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:20.039
 Do you

00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:20.680
 see that?

00:33:22.299 --> 00:33:22.920
 Jesus

00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:23.640
 Christ

00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:24.319
 wanted

00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:25.299
 to walk

00:33:25.299 --> 00:33:25.940
 away

00:33:25.940 --> 00:33:27.019
 from the

00:33:27.019 --> 00:33:27.440
 cross.

00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:30.000
 He was

00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:30.279
 in

00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:30.980
 turmoil.

00:33:31.779 --> 00:33:32.100
 He was

00:33:32.100 --> 00:33:32.279
 in

00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:33.100
 anguish.

00:33:34.059 --> 00:33:34.680
 He had

00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:35.779
 convulsive

00:33:35.779 --> 00:33:37.080
 fear.

00:33:38.600 --> 00:33:39.000
 As John

00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:39.680
 Calvin put

00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:39.820
 it,

00:33:39.900 --> 00:33:40.039
 in

00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:40.840
 Gethsemane,

00:33:41.019 --> 00:33:41.320
 Jesus

00:33:41.320 --> 00:33:42.380
 trembled

00:33:42.380 --> 00:33:43.960
 at death.

00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:45.799
 What he

00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:46.160
 was about

00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:46.539
 to go

00:33:46.539 --> 00:33:46.960
 through on

00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:47.539
 the cross,

00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:48.660
 crucifixion,

00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:49.460
 but more,

00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:50.360
 far more,

00:33:50.980 --> 00:33:51.660
 the black

00:33:51.660 --> 00:33:52.640
 hole of

00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:53.080
 God's

00:33:53.080 --> 00:33:53.640
 wrath.

00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:55.100
 It

00:33:55.100 --> 00:33:55.600
 brought him

00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:56.379
 to within

00:33:56.379 --> 00:33:56.819
 a

00:33:56.819 --> 00:33:57.399
 hair's

00:33:57.399 --> 00:33:57.879
 breath

00:33:57.879 --> 00:34:00.000
 of a

00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:00.319
 nervous

00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:00.779
 breakdown.

00:34:02.939 --> 00:34:03.559
 What

00:34:03.559 --> 00:34:03.919
 this

00:34:03.919 --> 00:34:04.399
 perfect

00:34:04.399 --> 00:34:04.779
 son

00:34:04.779 --> 00:34:05.139
 saw

00:34:05.139 --> 00:34:05.319
 in

00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:06.000
 Gethsemane

00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:07.139
 was his

00:34:07.139 --> 00:34:07.859
 father

00:34:07.859 --> 00:34:09.519
 with the

00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:10.099
 sword

00:34:10.099 --> 00:34:10.880
 raised.

00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:13.980
 So much

00:34:13.980 --> 00:34:14.619
 so that

00:34:14.619 --> 00:34:15.500
 God had to

00:34:15.500 --> 00:34:15.980
 send an

00:34:15.980 --> 00:34:16.699
 angel from

00:34:16.699 --> 00:34:16.900
 heaven.

00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:17.239
 Did you

00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:17.739
 notice that

00:34:17.739 --> 00:34:18.059
 in verse

00:34:18.059 --> 00:34:18.599
 43?

00:34:19.139 --> 00:34:19.420
 And there

00:34:19.420 --> 00:34:20.299
 appeared an

00:34:20.299 --> 00:34:21.059
 angel from

00:34:21.059 --> 00:34:21.319
 heaven.

00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:21.679
 Why?

00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:22.799
 To

00:34:22.799 --> 00:34:23.599
 strengthen

00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:24.019
 him.

00:34:24.940 --> 00:34:25.419
 God

00:34:25.419 --> 00:34:25.859
 had to

00:34:25.859 --> 00:34:26.399
 send an

00:34:26.399 --> 00:34:27.019
 angel from

00:34:27.019 --> 00:34:28.399
 heaven to

00:34:28.399 --> 00:34:29.379
 strengthen

00:34:29.379 --> 00:34:31.019
 Jesus so

00:34:31.019 --> 00:34:31.259
 that he

00:34:31.259 --> 00:34:31.799
 would go to

00:34:31.799 --> 00:34:32.440
 the cross.

00:34:32.859 --> 00:34:33.179
 He was

00:34:33.179 --> 00:34:34.099
 that close

00:34:34.099 --> 00:34:35.419
 to wanting

00:34:35.419 --> 00:34:36.000
 to pull

00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:36.319
 out.

00:34:37.899 --> 00:34:38.460
 And after

00:34:38.460 --> 00:34:39.019
 the angel

00:34:39.019 --> 00:34:39.739
 strengthens him,

00:34:39.779 --> 00:34:40.539
 he continues

00:34:40.539 --> 00:34:41.599
 in anguish so

00:34:41.599 --> 00:34:42.059
 that his

00:34:42.059 --> 00:34:43.239
 sweat is

00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:44.019
 like drops

00:34:44.019 --> 00:34:44.839
 of blood

00:34:44.839 --> 00:34:45.819
 dropping from

00:34:45.819 --> 00:34:46.059
 him.

00:34:46.879 --> 00:34:47.379
 This is

00:34:47.379 --> 00:34:47.879
 surely what

00:34:47.879 --> 00:34:48.899
 Hebrews 5

00:34:48.900 --> 00:34:49.820
 or 7 means

00:34:49.820 --> 00:34:50.579
 when it

00:34:50.579 --> 00:34:51.000
 says that

00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:51.900
 Jesus offered

00:34:51.900 --> 00:34:52.639
 up loud

00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:53.760
 cries and

00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:55.119
 tears to

00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:55.840
 his father.

00:34:56.420 --> 00:34:56.860
 Here was

00:34:56.860 --> 00:34:57.539
 a man in

00:34:57.539 --> 00:34:58.460
 anguish and

00:34:58.460 --> 00:34:59.619
 turmoil on

00:34:59.619 --> 00:35:00.680
 the brink of

00:35:00.680 --> 00:35:01.380
 a breakdown.

00:35:03.200 --> 00:35:03.639
 Donald

00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:04.639
 Macleod writes

00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:05.200
 movingly,

00:35:05.260 --> 00:35:05.920
 the wonder of

00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:06.480
 the love of

00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:07.160
 Christ for

00:35:07.160 --> 00:35:08.320
 his people is

00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:09.099
 not that for

00:35:09.099 --> 00:35:10.000
 their sakes he

00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:11.200
 faced death

00:35:11.200 --> 00:35:12.240
 without fear,

00:35:12.980 --> 00:35:13.960
 but that for

00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:14.860
 their sake he

00:35:14.860 --> 00:35:15.720
 faced it

00:35:15.720 --> 00:35:17.519
 terrified.

00:35:18.900 --> 00:35:21.639
 And that

00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:22.119
 is what he

00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:22.440
 did.

00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:24.880
 He faced

00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:25.180
 it.

00:35:27.099 --> 00:35:28.300
 Not my

00:35:28.300 --> 00:35:28.820
 will be

00:35:28.820 --> 00:35:29.119
 done,

00:35:29.700 --> 00:35:30.619
 but yours.

00:35:32.860 --> 00:35:33.840
 The final

00:35:33.840 --> 00:35:34.920
 part of this

00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:35.680
 one long

00:35:35.680 --> 00:35:36.260
 temptation

00:35:36.260 --> 00:35:36.900
 comes on

00:35:36.900 --> 00:35:37.539
 the cross.

00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:37.960
 If you

00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:38.420
 flick over

00:35:38.420 --> 00:35:38.840
 to chapter

00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:40.160
 23,

00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:41.260
 verse 35.

00:35:46.139 --> 00:35:46.840
 And the

00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:47.539
 people stood

00:35:47.539 --> 00:35:48.400
 by watching,

00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:48.500
 saying,

00:35:48.660 --> 00:35:48.920
 but the

00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:49.880
 ruler scoffed

00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:50.139
 at him,

00:35:50.240 --> 00:35:50.460
 saying,

00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:51.079
 he saved

00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:51.579
 others.

00:35:52.180 --> 00:35:52.840
 Let him

00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:53.599
 save himself

00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:54.139
 if he is

00:35:54.139 --> 00:35:54.740
 the Christ

00:35:54.740 --> 00:35:55.320
 of God,

00:35:55.559 --> 00:35:56.300
 his chosen

00:35:56.300 --> 00:35:56.639
 one.

00:35:57.360 --> 00:35:58.019
 The soldiers

00:35:58.019 --> 00:35:58.880
 also mocked

00:35:58.880 --> 00:35:59.000
 him,

00:35:59.079 --> 00:35:59.599
 coming up

00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:00.039
 and offering

00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:00.619
 him sour

00:36:00.619 --> 00:36:01.160
 wine and

00:36:01.160 --> 00:36:01.400
 saying,

00:36:01.680 --> 00:36:02.280
 if you are

00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:02.619
 the king

00:36:02.619 --> 00:36:02.880
 of the

00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:03.340
 Jews,

00:36:03.720 --> 00:36:04.000
 save

00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:04.500
 yourself.

00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:05.680
 There was

00:36:05.680 --> 00:36:06.119
 also an

00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:06.579
 inscription

00:36:06.579 --> 00:36:07.220
 over him,

00:36:07.460 --> 00:36:08.099
 this is

00:36:08.099 --> 00:36:08.639
 the king

00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:08.940
 of the

00:36:08.940 --> 00:36:09.280
 Jews.

00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:10.320
 One of

00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:10.880
 the criminals

00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:11.300
 who were

00:36:11.300 --> 00:36:11.860
 hanged,

00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:12.900
 reeled at

00:36:12.900 --> 00:36:13.099
 him,

00:36:13.200 --> 00:36:13.420
 saying,

00:36:13.660 --> 00:36:13.940
 are you

00:36:13.940 --> 00:36:14.360
 not the

00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:14.900
 Christ?

00:36:15.539 --> 00:36:16.019
 Save

00:36:16.019 --> 00:36:17.180
 yourself and

00:36:17.179 --> 00:36:17.619
 us.

00:36:20.279 --> 00:36:20.960
 See the

00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:21.519
 temptation

00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:22.719
 three times?

00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:23.379
 Save

00:36:23.379 --> 00:36:23.859
 yourself,

00:36:24.299 --> 00:36:24.599
 save

00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:25.079
 yourself,

00:36:25.399 --> 00:36:25.799
 save

00:36:25.799 --> 00:36:26.399
 yourself.

00:36:28.099 --> 00:36:28.940
 Yet Jesus

00:36:28.940 --> 00:36:30.079
 remains on

00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:30.699
 the cross.

00:36:31.539 --> 00:36:32.099
 He doesn't

00:36:32.099 --> 00:36:32.980
 save himself

00:36:32.980 --> 00:36:34.539
 so that he

00:36:34.539 --> 00:36:35.079
 can save

00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:35.460
 us.

00:36:36.799 --> 00:36:37.379
 And in that

00:36:37.379 --> 00:36:37.960
 moment he

00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:38.559
 was treated

00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:39.500
 by God

00:36:39.500 --> 00:36:39.940
 like he

00:36:39.940 --> 00:36:40.239
 was the

00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:40.579
 greatest

00:36:40.579 --> 00:36:41.279
 rapist,

00:36:41.879 --> 00:36:42.339
 the greatest

00:36:42.339 --> 00:36:42.899
 murderer,

00:36:43.199 --> 00:36:43.599
 the greatest

00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:44.519
 porn addict,

00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:45.219
 the greatest

00:36:45.219 --> 00:36:46.159
 materialist,

00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:47.340
 the greatest

00:36:47.340 --> 00:36:48.340
 idol worshipper,

00:36:48.500 --> 00:36:48.860
 the greatest

00:36:48.860 --> 00:36:49.820
 tax invader,

00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:50.440
 the greatest

00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:52.079
 blasphemer that

00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:52.440
 has ever

00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:53.579
 walked on

00:36:53.579 --> 00:36:54.079
 the earth.

00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:55.820
 He remained

00:36:55.820 --> 00:36:56.679
 on that

00:36:56.679 --> 00:36:57.820
 cross in

00:36:57.820 --> 00:36:58.440
 darkness,

00:36:59.119 --> 00:36:59.960
 receiving the

00:36:59.960 --> 00:37:01.019
 wrath of

00:37:01.019 --> 00:37:01.759
 God in our

00:37:01.759 --> 00:37:02.239
 place.

00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:03.960
 He resisted

00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:04.699
 the temptation

00:37:04.699 --> 00:37:05.960
 to trust to

00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:07.400
 save himself

00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:09.139
 so that he

00:37:09.139 --> 00:37:09.639
 could save

00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:10.000
 us.

00:37:11.159 --> 00:37:11.619
 And that is

00:37:11.619 --> 00:37:12.400
 Luke's final

00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:13.360
 presentation of

00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:14.360
 Jesus, a

00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:15.059
 son who

00:37:15.059 --> 00:37:16.400
 obeys God

00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:17.200
 perfectly.

00:37:18.059 --> 00:37:19.260
 A son who

00:37:19.260 --> 00:37:20.660
 obeys God

00:37:20.660 --> 00:37:21.700
 perfectly.

00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:24.160
 Here is

00:37:24.160 --> 00:37:25.120
 the perfect

00:37:25.120 --> 00:37:26.120
 son.

00:37:26.840 --> 00:37:27.240
 And his

00:37:27.240 --> 00:37:28.099
 father says

00:37:28.099 --> 00:37:28.780
 to us this

00:37:28.780 --> 00:37:29.099
 morning,

00:37:29.620 --> 00:37:30.820
 this is my

00:37:30.820 --> 00:37:31.880
 beloved son

00:37:31.880 --> 00:37:33.280
 with whom I

00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:33.720
 am well

00:37:33.720 --> 00:37:34.220
 pleased.

00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:36.960
 Here is

00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:37.700
 the perfect

00:37:37.700 --> 00:37:38.660
 man.

00:37:40.220 --> 00:37:40.720
 Rudyard

00:37:40.720 --> 00:37:41.300
 Kipling's

00:37:41.300 --> 00:37:41.940
 poem was

00:37:41.940 --> 00:37:42.760
 that he

00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:43.180
 thought

00:37:43.179 --> 00:37:43.619
 problem,

00:37:43.739 --> 00:37:43.940
 sorry,

00:37:44.059 --> 00:37:44.339
 was that

00:37:44.339 --> 00:37:44.719
 he thought

00:37:44.719 --> 00:37:45.359
 his son

00:37:45.359 --> 00:37:45.940
 could maybe

00:37:45.940 --> 00:37:46.639
 be a man,

00:37:46.759 --> 00:37:47.219
 could maybe

00:37:47.219 --> 00:37:47.779
 attain

00:37:47.779 --> 00:37:49.319
 mature manhood.

00:37:49.419 --> 00:37:49.839
 If you

00:37:49.839 --> 00:37:50.239
 can,

00:37:50.299 --> 00:37:50.699
 if you

00:37:50.699 --> 00:37:51.159
 can,

00:37:51.239 --> 00:37:51.659
 if you

00:37:51.659 --> 00:37:52.159
 can,

00:37:53.139 --> 00:37:53.899
 which son

00:37:53.899 --> 00:37:54.440
 or daughter

00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:54.919
 of any

00:37:54.919 --> 00:37:55.539
 father has

00:37:55.539 --> 00:37:56.000
 ever lived

00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:56.440
 their life

00:37:56.440 --> 00:37:57.019
 well enough

00:37:57.019 --> 00:37:58.299
 to earn

00:37:58.299 --> 00:37:58.940
 the world

00:37:58.940 --> 00:38:00.099
 and everything

00:38:00.099 --> 00:38:00.799
 in it.

00:38:01.859 --> 00:38:02.699
 But here

00:38:02.699 --> 00:38:03.319
 is a man

00:38:03.319 --> 00:38:04.639
 who has

00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:05.159
 the right

00:38:05.159 --> 00:38:06.039
 to the

00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:06.399
 world

00:38:06.399 --> 00:38:08.019
 and everything

00:38:08.019 --> 00:38:08.539
 in it.

00:38:09.379 --> 00:38:09.980
 Here is

00:38:09.980 --> 00:38:10.659
 the proper

00:38:10.659 --> 00:38:11.099
 man.

00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:13.139
 From

00:38:13.139 --> 00:38:14.199
 conception

00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:15.480
 to the

00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:16.019
 cross,

00:38:16.199 --> 00:38:16.519
 from the

00:38:16.519 --> 00:38:16.860
 cradle

00:38:16.860 --> 00:38:17.420
 to the

00:38:17.420 --> 00:38:17.860
 grave,

00:38:18.460 --> 00:38:18.719
 Jesus

00:38:18.719 --> 00:38:19.300
 Christ

00:38:19.300 --> 00:38:20.300
 was

00:38:20.300 --> 00:38:21.740
 impeccable

00:38:21.740 --> 00:38:22.619
 in his

00:38:22.619 --> 00:38:23.179
 humanity.

00:38:24.380 --> 00:38:24.900
 Here is

00:38:24.900 --> 00:38:25.500
 the perfect

00:38:25.500 --> 00:38:26.019
 Israel.

00:38:26.719 --> 00:38:27.380
 Here is

00:38:27.380 --> 00:38:28.039
 the perfect

00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:28.619
 Adam.

00:38:29.380 --> 00:38:30.039
 And here

00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:30.440
 is where

00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:30.960
 the hope

00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:31.340
 of the

00:38:31.340 --> 00:38:31.679
 world

00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:32.760
 lies.

00:38:33.139 --> 00:38:33.539
 Not in

00:38:33.539 --> 00:38:33.960
 the first

00:38:33.960 --> 00:38:34.280
 Adam,

00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:35.380
 that great

00:38:35.380 --> 00:38:36.199
 giant to

00:38:36.199 --> 00:38:36.659
 whom we are

00:38:36.659 --> 00:38:37.279
 all hooked.

00:38:38.139 --> 00:38:38.379
 No,

00:38:38.440 --> 00:38:38.859
 our hope

00:38:38.859 --> 00:38:39.679
 lies in

00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:40.519
 this second

00:38:40.519 --> 00:38:41.440
 great giant,

00:38:41.759 --> 00:38:42.559
 Jesus Christ.

00:38:43.059 --> 00:38:43.699
 Because where

00:38:43.699 --> 00:38:44.259
 the first

00:38:44.259 --> 00:38:45.279
 Adam failed,

00:38:45.619 --> 00:38:45.920
 Jesus,

00:38:46.139 --> 00:38:46.659
 the second

00:38:46.659 --> 00:38:47.219
 and last

00:38:47.219 --> 00:38:47.599
 Adam,

00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:48.239
 does not

00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:48.579
 fail.

00:38:49.199 --> 00:38:49.659
 Where Adam

00:38:49.659 --> 00:38:50.259
 succumbed

00:38:50.259 --> 00:38:50.539
 to the

00:38:50.539 --> 00:38:51.059
 serpent in

00:38:51.059 --> 00:38:51.500
 a garden

00:38:51.500 --> 00:38:52.199
 of plenty,

00:38:52.899 --> 00:38:53.899
 Jesus resisted

00:38:53.899 --> 00:38:54.559
 the devil in

00:38:54.559 --> 00:38:55.039
 a wilderness

00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:56.179
 of scarcity.

00:38:56.899 --> 00:38:57.420
 Where Adam

00:38:57.420 --> 00:38:58.259
 failed by

00:38:58.259 --> 00:38:59.259
 keeping silent

00:38:59.259 --> 00:38:59.779
 and not

00:38:59.779 --> 00:39:00.799
 speaking God's

00:39:00.799 --> 00:39:01.579
 word to

00:39:01.579 --> 00:39:02.239
 rebuke the

00:39:02.239 --> 00:39:02.539
 serpent,

00:39:03.139 --> 00:39:03.879
 Jesus opened

00:39:03.879 --> 00:39:04.659
 his mouth.

00:39:05.359 --> 00:39:05.639
 And what

00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:06.279
 does he say?

00:39:06.659 --> 00:39:08.139
 It is

00:39:08.139 --> 00:39:08.980
 written,

00:39:09.579 --> 00:39:10.739
 God has

00:39:10.739 --> 00:39:11.299
 said,

00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:12.079
 and he

00:39:12.079 --> 00:39:12.859
 rebukes the

00:39:12.859 --> 00:39:13.179
 serpent.

00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:13.940
 Where Adam

00:39:13.940 --> 00:39:14.519
 stood in

00:39:14.519 --> 00:39:14.940
 a garden

00:39:14.940 --> 00:39:15.420
 and said,

00:39:15.539 --> 00:39:16.159
 my will

00:39:16.159 --> 00:39:16.679
 be done,

00:39:16.779 --> 00:39:17.500
 not yours

00:39:17.500 --> 00:39:17.980
 as it is

00:39:17.980 --> 00:39:18.399
 in heaven,

00:39:18.839 --> 00:39:19.679
 Jesus knelt

00:39:19.679 --> 00:39:20.500
 in a garden

00:39:20.500 --> 00:39:21.000
 and said,

00:39:21.099 --> 00:39:22.059
 not my will

00:39:22.059 --> 00:39:22.559
 be done,

00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:23.920
 but yours

00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:24.739
 as it is

00:39:24.739 --> 00:39:25.199
 in heaven.

00:39:25.639 --> 00:39:26.099
 Where Adam

00:39:26.099 --> 00:39:26.980
 stood by a

00:39:26.980 --> 00:39:27.799
 tree naked

00:39:27.799 --> 00:39:28.759
 and disobeyed

00:39:28.759 --> 00:39:29.119
 God,

00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:30.299
 Jesus hung

00:39:30.299 --> 00:39:30.960
 on a tree

00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:32.299
 naked out

00:39:32.299 --> 00:39:32.940
 of obedience

00:39:32.940 --> 00:39:33.659
 to God.

00:39:33.920 --> 00:39:34.319
 Where Adam

00:39:34.319 --> 00:39:35.119
 stood by a

00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:36.159
 tree alive

00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:36.799
 and brought

00:39:36.799 --> 00:39:37.279
 death,

00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:38.440
 Jesus hung

00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:38.980
 on a tree

00:39:38.980 --> 00:39:40.319
 dead and

00:39:40.319 --> 00:39:41.139
 brought life.

00:39:41.719 --> 00:39:42.159
 Where Adam

00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:42.839
 failed to

00:39:42.839 --> 00:39:43.519
 crush the

00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:44.039
 serpent's

00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:44.779
 head by

00:39:44.779 --> 00:39:45.279
 a tree,

00:39:46.139 --> 00:39:46.420
 Jesus

00:39:46.420 --> 00:39:47.219
 crushed his

00:39:47.219 --> 00:39:48.460
 head on

00:39:48.460 --> 00:39:48.899
 a tree.

00:39:48.900 --> 00:39:52.500
 brothers and

00:39:52.500 --> 00:39:52.860
 sisters,

00:39:53.059 --> 00:39:53.539
 here is

00:39:53.539 --> 00:39:54.400
 humanity

00:39:54.400 --> 00:39:56.519
 par excellence.

00:39:57.260 --> 00:39:58.119
 The doctrine

00:39:58.119 --> 00:39:59.559
 of humanity

00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:00.539
 is the

00:40:00.539 --> 00:40:01.340
 doctrine of

00:40:01.340 --> 00:40:01.900
 the person

00:40:01.900 --> 00:40:02.380
 of Jesus

00:40:02.380 --> 00:40:02.940
 Christ.

00:40:03.180 --> 00:40:03.680
 There is

00:40:03.680 --> 00:40:04.599
 no true

00:40:04.599 --> 00:40:05.240
 humanity

00:40:05.240 --> 00:40:06.220
 outside him.

00:40:06.940 --> 00:40:07.360
 There is

00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:08.340
 no true

00:40:08.340 --> 00:40:09.320
 humanity

00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:10.619
 without him.

00:40:12.180 --> 00:40:13.260
 Unless you

00:40:13.260 --> 00:40:13.940
 are connected

00:40:13.940 --> 00:40:14.500
 to Jesus

00:40:14.500 --> 00:40:15.079
 Christ,

00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:16.539
 you are

00:40:16.539 --> 00:40:17.019
 not

00:40:17.019 --> 00:40:18.059
 acting,

00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:19.500
 living

00:40:19.500 --> 00:40:20.579
 like a

00:40:20.579 --> 00:40:21.400
 true human

00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:21.759
 being.

00:40:23.420 --> 00:40:23.659
 Do you

00:40:23.659 --> 00:40:24.059
 want to be

00:40:24.059 --> 00:40:24.819
 truly human?

00:40:25.819 --> 00:40:26.559
 Then get

00:40:26.559 --> 00:40:27.099
 connected

00:40:27.099 --> 00:40:28.400
 to Jesus

00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:28.980
 Christ.

00:40:31.659 --> 00:40:32.340
 Because

00:40:32.340 --> 00:40:33.380
 Jesus saves

00:40:33.380 --> 00:40:34.539
 us as

00:40:34.539 --> 00:40:35.059
 much by

00:40:35.059 --> 00:40:35.719
 his life

00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:36.099
 as by

00:40:36.099 --> 00:40:36.799
 his death.

00:40:38.340 --> 00:40:38.619
 You see,

00:40:38.699 --> 00:40:39.239
 his death

00:40:39.239 --> 00:40:40.500
 was only a

00:40:40.500 --> 00:40:40.940
 sufficient

00:40:40.940 --> 00:40:41.980
 sacrifice to

00:40:41.980 --> 00:40:43.539
 God because

00:40:43.539 --> 00:40:44.039
 it was a

00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:44.860
 perfect death.

00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:45.360
 And it

00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:45.840
 was only a

00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:46.539
 perfect death

00:40:46.539 --> 00:40:46.860
 because he

00:40:46.860 --> 00:40:47.340
 lived a

00:40:47.340 --> 00:40:48.619
 perfect life.

00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:49.420
 He saves

00:40:49.420 --> 00:40:49.860
 us as

00:40:49.860 --> 00:40:50.319
 much by

00:40:50.319 --> 00:40:50.960
 his life

00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:51.980
 as by

00:40:51.980 --> 00:40:52.699
 his death.

00:40:53.119 --> 00:40:53.639
 Sinclair

00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:54.099
 Ferguson

00:40:54.099 --> 00:40:54.719
 puts it,

00:40:55.179 --> 00:40:55.719
 it's as if

00:40:55.719 --> 00:40:56.199
 all the

00:40:56.199 --> 00:40:56.940
 medals and

00:40:56.940 --> 00:40:57.519
 honors of

00:40:57.519 --> 00:40:58.279
 Christ are

00:40:58.279 --> 00:40:59.279
 pinned to

00:40:59.279 --> 00:41:00.119
 your chest

00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:01.539
 and all

00:41:01.539 --> 00:41:02.360
 of heaven

00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:03.279
 salutes

00:41:03.279 --> 00:41:03.659
 you.

00:41:05.319 --> 00:41:06.039
 You don't

00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:06.579
 just need

00:41:06.579 --> 00:41:07.239
 your sins

00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:07.719
 forgiven

00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:09.759
 to go and

00:41:09.759 --> 00:41:10.139
 live with

00:41:10.139 --> 00:41:10.480
 God.

00:41:11.139 --> 00:41:11.860
 You need

00:41:11.860 --> 00:41:12.639
 righteousness

00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:13.500
 put into

00:41:13.500 --> 00:41:14.179
 your account.

00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:15.739
 God

00:41:15.739 --> 00:41:16.079
 doesn't

00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:16.639
 just bring

00:41:16.639 --> 00:41:16.960
 up your

00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:18.000
 minus 100

00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:19.000
 to zero

00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:20.159
 when he

00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:20.840
 justifies

00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:21.239
 us.

00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:22.719
 He also

00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:23.319
 adds

00:41:23.319 --> 00:41:24.699
 100%.

00:41:24.699 --> 00:41:26.079
 He forgives

00:41:26.079 --> 00:41:26.639
 the minus

00:41:26.639 --> 00:41:27.860
 100 because

00:41:27.860 --> 00:41:28.539
 of Christ's

00:41:28.539 --> 00:41:29.420
 death and

00:41:29.420 --> 00:41:30.099
 he adds

00:41:30.099 --> 00:41:31.480
 100% because

00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:32.380
 of Christ's

00:41:32.380 --> 00:41:33.000
 perfect

00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:33.940
 life.

00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:37.099
 Brothers and

00:41:37.099 --> 00:41:37.639
 sisters in

00:41:37.639 --> 00:41:37.960
 Christ,

00:41:38.079 --> 00:41:38.739
 this is the

00:41:38.739 --> 00:41:39.179
 gospel.

00:41:39.179 --> 00:41:39.279
 gospel,

00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:41.899
 in a

00:41:41.899 --> 00:41:42.279
 manger,

00:41:43.079 --> 00:41:43.440
 in the

00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:43.879
 city of

00:41:43.879 --> 00:41:44.539
 Bethlehem,

00:41:44.819 --> 00:41:45.819
 in the

00:41:45.819 --> 00:41:46.139
 troubled

00:41:46.139 --> 00:41:46.980
 streets of

00:41:46.980 --> 00:41:47.579
 Nazareth,

00:41:48.219 --> 00:41:48.559
 in a

00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:49.239
 carpenter's

00:41:49.239 --> 00:41:49.599
 shop,

00:41:50.419 --> 00:41:50.759
 in a

00:41:50.759 --> 00:41:51.139
 wilderness,

00:41:52.419 --> 00:41:52.799
 in the

00:41:52.799 --> 00:41:53.699
 garden of

00:41:53.699 --> 00:41:54.440
 Gethsemane,

00:41:54.519 --> 00:41:54.899
 and then on

00:41:54.899 --> 00:41:55.399
 a hill

00:41:55.399 --> 00:41:56.539
 called

00:41:56.539 --> 00:41:57.259
 Golgotha,

00:41:57.699 --> 00:41:58.960
 there was

00:41:58.960 --> 00:41:59.679
 a son

00:41:59.679 --> 00:42:02.239
 who

00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:03.039
 perfectly

00:42:03.039 --> 00:42:03.879
 obeyed his

00:42:03.879 --> 00:42:06.159
 father so

00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:06.579
 that his

00:42:06.579 --> 00:42:07.219
 father might

00:42:07.219 --> 00:42:07.980
 become our

00:42:07.980 --> 00:42:09.799
 father and

00:42:09.799 --> 00:42:10.480
 all heaven

00:42:10.480 --> 00:42:12.019
 might salute

00:42:12.019 --> 00:42:12.420
 us.

00:42:17.279 --> 00:42:18.119
 We're going

00:42:18.119 --> 00:42:18.719
 to close

00:42:18.719 --> 00:42:19.119
