00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.080
 All right, thank you, Wes. Please take out your copy of God's Word. Turn to Paul's letter to the Colossians. Chapter 3.

00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:18.500
 Our text for today is Colossians 3, verse 22 through chapter 4, verse 1.

00:00:19.460 --> 00:00:26.780
 Before we read it together, I'm going to say to you that my comments this morning concerning this text will be brief, at least brief-ish.

00:00:27.899 --> 00:00:33.160
 If you're a guest with us, this is not the norm. The Word of God is incredibly rich.

00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:42.000
 Even if we break down each sermon as we move verse by verse, even down to just a single sermon, there's so much to be said.

00:00:42.099 --> 00:00:49.079
 There's so much layer in God's Word. And so, it's normally not the way that we handle things.

00:00:50.199 --> 00:00:54.859
 I go 45 to an hour. Hopefully 45.

00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:02.759
 The Word of God requires great care, both in its exegesis and in its application.

00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:07.500
 And this morning's text is not an exception to that rule. I'm not suggesting that we're saying,

00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:11.539
 eh, it doesn't really matter. But I'm going to be brief this morning for two reasons.

00:01:11.939 --> 00:01:16.840
 The reason of less importance is that we have a number of matters to handle at the end of our service.

00:01:17.039 --> 00:01:20.120
 And at some point, we have to wrap this up together.

00:01:20.259 --> 00:01:25.180
 And so, for the sake of time in that regard, I'm going to try to keep my comments brief.

00:01:25.180 --> 00:01:30.440
 And the second, which is of greater importance, I think of primary importance,

00:01:30.440 --> 00:01:35.360
 is that Paul's exhortations in these verses are simple.

00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:41.600
 And simple commands should be understood and obeyed simply.

00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.780
 This week, I just found that I didn't really need to make it too terribly complex.

00:01:45.780 --> 00:01:54.000
 That there was no real need to parse verbs for you and help you get some other depth of knowledge

00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:55.540
 that really isn't in the text.

00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.159
 There's a couple of simple exhortations for us.

00:01:59.980 --> 00:02:05.840
 Last week, we looked at four exhortations for the household of the new self.

00:02:05.939 --> 00:02:09.180
 To remind you where we've been in chapter 3 and to catch some of you up

00:02:09.180 --> 00:02:11.460
 who haven't been here with us this summer,

00:02:11.460 --> 00:02:13.180
 chapter 3, verse 1 reads,

00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.620
 If then you have been raised with Christ,

00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.159
 so if you are in Christ, if you are a Christian,

00:02:19.260 --> 00:02:23.879
 your heart's been made new because of the regenerating work of the power of the Spirit in your life,

00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.379
 then we are to seek the things that are above,

00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:28.800
 where Christ is seated.

00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.219
 Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:34.659
 We're to set our minds on things that are above,

00:02:34.780 --> 00:02:37.379
 not on things that are on earth.

00:02:37.379 --> 00:02:43.159
 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

00:02:43.299 --> 00:02:49.000
 So, we now have this reorientation because our old self is dead,

00:02:49.219 --> 00:02:51.359
 and we have a new self.

00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:53.900
 And Paul expounds upon this, verse 5,

00:02:53.979 --> 00:02:59.099
 that we should put to death, therefore, what is earthly in us.

00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:01.579
 And then picking up in verse 10,

00:03:01.580 --> 00:03:05.300
 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed.

00:03:05.440 --> 00:03:06.260
 Verse 12,

00:03:06.380 --> 00:03:09.840
 Put on then as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved.

00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:15.280
 And he begins to list these proper activities of the Christian life,

00:03:15.600 --> 00:03:18.040
 as well as telling us the things that we ought not be doing.

00:03:18.160 --> 00:03:21.800
 And I've stressed to you that he's not giving us exhaustive lists,

00:03:21.860 --> 00:03:28.700
 but he's primarily talking about sins of misplaced love or misplaced hate.

00:03:28.699 --> 00:03:33.039
 And then he's giving us the positive, how it is we should live together in community.

00:03:33.500 --> 00:03:36.579
 He's specifically speaking to the church.

00:03:36.939 --> 00:03:41.539
 But last week, we saw a bit of a shift, a little bit of a narrowing of his scope.

00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.199
 While he's talking about the Christian church at large,

00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:46.739
 the church here in Function Together at Colossae,

00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.839
 he goes a little narrower to talk about the Christian household.

00:03:51.780 --> 00:03:57.939
 So, we saw these exhortations to wives, to husbands, to children, and to parents last week.

00:03:58.699 --> 00:04:03.419
 And this week really is a continuation of these exhortations,

00:04:03.500 --> 00:04:06.519
 of exhortation for the Christian household.

00:04:07.139 --> 00:04:11.739
 The application of which is really rather simple for us.

00:04:11.979 --> 00:04:12.759
 And we'll get into that.

00:04:12.799 --> 00:04:14.780
 But let's read the text together.

00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.199
 Colossians 3, 22 through 4, 1.

00:04:18.300 --> 00:04:18.819
 Paul writes,

00:04:18.819 --> 00:04:48.819


00:04:48.819 --> 00:05:00.920
 And beloved, this is God's word to us.

00:05:01.420 --> 00:05:04.459
 It's written for His glory and for our good.

00:05:05.039 --> 00:05:08.360
 We would all do well to listen to it this morning in order to believe its promises

00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:10.959
 and obey its commands.

00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:15.799
 Now, as we look at the text this morning, I've broken it down into four points for us.

00:05:15.899 --> 00:05:16.699
 The first one is,

00:05:17.599 --> 00:05:25.859
 the aim of Paul's exhortation here is not social or political commentary.

00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:31.219
 This is not the point of what he's trying to accomplish as he's speaking to the church at Colossae.

00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.039
 It's not social or political commentary.

00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:40.360
 He's not in this text seeking to destroy the institution of slavery.

00:05:41.140 --> 00:05:47.680
 Now, he's already commented on new spiritual realities for those who are in Christ.

00:05:47.780 --> 00:05:51.759
 Look back up in chapter 3 to verse 11, where he writes,

00:05:51.759 --> 00:06:09.959
 So he says,

00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:14.079
 All these dividing barriers, which were strong barriers in this day,

00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:20.099
 probably much stronger than anything we experience today in our particular social context,

00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:25.439
 that all of these things are torn down for those who Christ is all.

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.539
 He is the great equalizer in the Christian church.

00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:35.599
 So he's already, in some sense, in the spiritual sense,

00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:40.260
 he's put away the idea of slave and free.

00:06:40.820 --> 00:06:45.760
 That a free man and a slave could come together and have unity in Christ

00:06:45.760 --> 00:06:49.300
 has already been stated in Colossians 3.11.

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:55.220
 The gospel certainly has social and political implications.

00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:00.439
 It has come into this world and it is making the world new,

00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.660
 bringing about redemption for a broken place.

00:07:03.660 --> 00:07:08.220
 But it does not change those realities in a moment.

00:07:09.080 --> 00:07:12.380
 Isn't that where we find ourselves living between kind of these two worlds

00:07:12.380 --> 00:07:15.820
 where Christ has ushered in the kingdom of God,

00:07:15.900 --> 00:07:18.360
 but yet it's yet to fully arrive.

00:07:18.840 --> 00:07:19.920
 He's returned to heaven.

00:07:20.020 --> 00:07:21.480
 He's seated at the right hand of the Father.

00:07:21.580 --> 00:07:27.720
 And we're eagerly awaiting His return to establish forever His reign here on earth.

00:07:28.180 --> 00:07:31.240
 It's coming to pass.

00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:39.600
 But, all the same, we ought to be, as Christians, working to change our society.

00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.100
 We ought to want to see things improve.

00:07:43.220 --> 00:07:48.579
 And the gospel certainly has the power to do so and has had throughout history.

00:07:49.340 --> 00:07:50.600
 I should give you a couple examples.

00:07:50.780 --> 00:07:53.800
 Some names that may be familiar to you, some that may not.

00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:59.860
 And the way in which these people were not only preachers of the gospel, missionaries,

00:07:59.980 --> 00:08:03.259
 but worked in social context to bring about change.

00:08:03.900 --> 00:08:09.580
 John Wesley and Elizabeth Fry worked very hard in their lives for prison reform,

00:08:09.699 --> 00:08:11.660
 saw some success in that.

00:08:11.660 --> 00:08:14.820
 I hope most of you are familiar with William Wilberforce,

00:08:15.020 --> 00:08:19.939
 who labored in his life and finally saw the abolition of British slavery.

00:08:20.980 --> 00:08:24.460
 Theodore Fleidner built German hospitals.

00:08:25.180 --> 00:08:28.840
 George Mueller cared for thousands of orphans.

00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:37.560
 William Carey worked to abolish and found success in abolishing widow burning and child sacrifice in India.

00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.559
 David Livingston and many others in Africa discouraged polygamy,

00:08:42.019 --> 00:08:46.500
 fought the slave trade, built schools, and built hospitals.

00:08:47.939 --> 00:08:52.059
 Christianity is good for the world.

00:08:52.739 --> 00:08:58.279
 Because God's ways are far more excellent than man's ways.

00:08:58.979 --> 00:09:03.879
 Man is completely corrupt by sin apart from Christ.

00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:08.500
 And at his greatest effort, fouls everything up.

00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:12.779
 Christianity comes into those social and political contexts

00:09:12.779 --> 00:09:16.820
 and brings about good and right and proper change.

00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:20.220
 But that's not what Paul's trying to do here.

00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:25.759
 Understand that the slavery of Paul's day, for the most part,

00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:30.659
 was much different than the historical slavery that we are all aware of.

00:09:30.659 --> 00:09:34.159
 The slavery that happened here in our own country.

00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:37.779
 You need to understand that in this day, in the Greco-Roman world,

00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:42.740
 more than 50% of the population was a slave population.

00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:45.779
 It was not typically ethnically driven,

00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:51.240
 although there were times that people would go and conquer another people and make them slaves.

00:09:51.339 --> 00:09:54.159
 But more often than not, it was economically driven.

00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:56.740
 Many of the people that were slaves in this day

00:09:56.740 --> 00:10:01.460
 volunteered themselves as slaves because they could not afford to live.

00:10:01.560 --> 00:10:03.379
 They did not have the means necessary,

00:10:03.560 --> 00:10:05.940
 and so they hired themselves out, essentially,

00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:07.840
 put themselves on the market,

00:10:08.100 --> 00:10:10.519
 and they were bought in this way.

00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:11.919
 Not always the case.

00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:15.360
 But generally speaking, it was a bit of a different environment.

00:10:16.139 --> 00:10:20.360
 But also, he is not endorsing slavery in this text.

00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:23.300
 The Bible certainly does not endorse slavery,

00:10:23.500 --> 00:10:28.139
 particularly in the way that we think about and understand slavery.

00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:30.919
 Just to give you a couple of examples,

00:10:31.539 --> 00:10:33.800
 Exodus 21.16 says,

00:10:34.019 --> 00:10:36.539
 Whoever steals a man and sells him,

00:10:36.980 --> 00:10:38.919
 and anyone found in possession of him,

00:10:39.560 --> 00:10:40.419
 shall be put to death.

00:10:41.220 --> 00:10:42.639
 And in 1 Timothy 1.10,

00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:46.139
 And enslavers are mentioned in a list of men

00:10:46.139 --> 00:10:49.560
 counted as lawless and disobedient.

00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.320
 But this is not ultimately what Paul is trying to do.

00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:55.279
 The second point, Paul's aim,

00:10:55.800 --> 00:10:57.560
 is to instruct the Christian

00:10:57.560 --> 00:11:01.899
 in whatever situation he or she may find themselves in

00:11:01.899 --> 00:11:05.960
 to live in a way that honors the Lord.

00:11:07.019 --> 00:11:07.879
 Verse 22,

00:11:08.139 --> 00:11:10.139
 Bond servants or servants, slaves,

00:11:11.100 --> 00:11:13.360
 obey in everything those who are your earthly masters,

00:11:14.019 --> 00:11:15.960
 not by way of eye service as people-pleasers,

00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:17.759
 but with sincerity of heart,

00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:19.860
 fearing the Lord.

00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:21.779
 Obey in everything.

00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:25.180
 Just as we saw was the case with wives and children

00:11:25.180 --> 00:11:26.759
 in the preceding verses,

00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:30.100
 the will of the one placed over you

00:11:30.100 --> 00:11:32.300
 should be obeyed,

00:11:32.820 --> 00:11:36.100
 provided that your obedience does not break

00:11:36.100 --> 00:11:38.440
 the command of God.

00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:40.100
 Note the phrase,

00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:43.659
 those who are your earthly masters.

00:11:43.659 --> 00:11:44.819
 Husbands,

00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:44.799
 husbands,

00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:46.120
 parents,

00:11:46.339 --> 00:11:48.240
 and masters in this context,

00:11:48.659 --> 00:11:49.740
 bosses in ours,

00:11:49.819 --> 00:11:51.219
 are instruments of God

00:11:51.219 --> 00:11:54.439
 and He ultimately rules over them.

00:11:54.620 --> 00:11:56.199
 Chapter 4, verse 1.

00:11:56.620 --> 00:11:57.019
 Masters,

00:11:57.159 --> 00:11:58.719
 treat your bond servants justly and fairly,

00:11:58.860 --> 00:12:03.399
 knowing that you also have a master in heaven.

00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:06.379
 And so if your earthly master,

00:12:06.579 --> 00:12:07.860
 if your parents,

00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:09.059
 if your husband,

00:12:09.059 --> 00:12:10.239
 if you're a wife,

00:12:11.019 --> 00:12:11.719
 asks you,

00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.119
 commands you to do something outside the law of God,

00:12:14.179 --> 00:12:17.559
 you have God's permission to circumnavigate in that case.

00:12:18.019 --> 00:12:18.439
 Otherwise,

00:12:18.719 --> 00:12:21.799
 you are to obey in everything.

00:12:22.419 --> 00:12:25.619
 Not simply to please on the outward appearance.

00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:26.000
 It says,

00:12:26.059 --> 00:12:30.099
 not just by way of eye service as a people-pleaser.

00:12:30.339 --> 00:12:32.019
 Not just going through the motions,

00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:32.719
 right?

00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:34.300
 Making it look good,

00:12:34.540 --> 00:12:37.379
 but with the sincerity of your heart

00:12:37.379 --> 00:12:40.100
 because you fear the Lord.

00:12:40.220 --> 00:12:44.160
 With a proper and right understanding and perspective on God,

00:12:44.420 --> 00:12:45.899
 your ultimate master,

00:12:46.060 --> 00:12:48.740
 the one whom you ultimately serve,

00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:53.399
 doing things from the heart with sincerity.

00:12:54.800 --> 00:12:57.960
 And Paul gives two proper motivations for this.

00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:00.560
 One in the positive and one in the negative.

00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.019
 The positive is found in verse 24.

00:13:03.859 --> 00:13:05.179
 Knowing that from the Lord,

00:13:05.299 --> 00:13:08.539
 you will receive the inheritance as your reward.

00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:12.059
 You are serving the Lord Christ.

00:13:12.419 --> 00:13:12.739
 Again,

00:13:12.819 --> 00:13:13.500
 as I just said,

00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:15.679
 because ultimately you are serving Christ.

00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:17.539
 And if you are serving Christ,

00:13:17.619 --> 00:13:19.859
 if you have this proper and right understanding,

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:21.059
 if you are a servant

00:13:21.059 --> 00:13:23.699
 and in everything obey your earthly master,

00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:26.439
 you're doing it because you're a Christian.

00:13:27.099 --> 00:13:28.479
 Because you're found in Him.

00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:30.860
 Don't divorce this from the rest of the chapter.

00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:32.320
 Remember what we started talking about

00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:34.340
 at the beginning of chapter 3.

00:13:34.659 --> 00:13:36.340
 He's still talking about these things

00:13:36.340 --> 00:13:38.120
 as Christian people that we should put off

00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:41.080
 and those things that we should be putting on.

00:13:42.019 --> 00:13:44.080
 So as a Christian person,

00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:46.379
 you will live in this way.

00:13:46.460 --> 00:13:47.259
 This is the positive

00:13:47.259 --> 00:13:48.539
 because there's a promise.

00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.100
 You'll receive the inheritance

00:13:51.100 --> 00:13:53.700
 as your reward.

00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:55.740
 And it's tempting at this point

00:13:55.740 --> 00:13:56.740
 as we look at verse 25

00:13:56.740 --> 00:13:59.440
 and then the negative motivation in,

00:13:59.960 --> 00:14:00.639
 excuse me,

00:14:00.680 --> 00:14:01.159
 in verse 24

00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:03.539
 and the negative motivation in verse 25

00:14:03.539 --> 00:14:05.180
 to kind of spin off,

00:14:05.259 --> 00:14:06.299
 maybe try to sort out

00:14:06.299 --> 00:14:07.899
 kind of what heaven's going to look like

00:14:07.899 --> 00:14:08.960
 and how we'll be rewarded

00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:10.200
 or how we may be punished

00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:11.580
 if we're found in Christ.

00:14:11.659 --> 00:14:12.560
 I don't think Paul means

00:14:12.560 --> 00:14:14.440
 it to be nearly that complex.

00:14:14.980 --> 00:14:15.779
 He simply says,

00:14:16.180 --> 00:14:17.120
 the inheritance.

00:14:17.259 --> 00:14:17.799
 And in the Greek,

00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:18.680
 the article is there.

00:14:18.860 --> 00:14:21.840
 The is actually in the original text.

00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:23.700
 And so what I think he's talking about

00:14:23.700 --> 00:14:26.800
 is that our proper and right orientation

00:14:26.800 --> 00:14:30.980
 as servants or employees in our case

00:14:30.980 --> 00:14:33.660
 should be because we are Christians

00:14:33.660 --> 00:14:35.560
 as a response to what God has done

00:14:35.560 --> 00:14:36.259
 on our behalf,

00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:38.620
 we should serve the Lord

00:14:38.620 --> 00:14:39.879
 knowing full well

00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:41.360
 that we don't live for this world,

00:14:41.420 --> 00:14:43.420
 but we live for eternity.

00:14:43.740 --> 00:14:47.360
 The inheritance of eternal life with Him.

00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:49.019
 He is our master.

00:14:49.259 --> 00:14:50.360
 He is our King.

00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:54.120
 We'll serve Him now and forevermore.

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:56.940
 Let me give you a cross reference for this.

00:14:57.019 --> 00:14:59.919
 Romans 2, verses 6-8.

00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:01.840
 Paul writes there,

00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:04.080
 He will render to each one

00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:05.320
 according to His works.

00:15:05.419 --> 00:15:08.320
 To those who by patience in well-doing

00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:12.060
 seek for glory and honor and immortality,

00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:14.620
 He will give eternal life.

00:15:15.060 --> 00:15:16.399
 But for those who are self-seeking

00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:17.480
 and do not obey the truth

00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:18.860
 but obey unrighteousness,

00:15:18.860 --> 00:15:20.120
 there will be wrath.

00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:21.360
 And fury.

00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:23.840
 Because of who we are,

00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:26.120
 the right and proper good response

00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:27.220
 as Christian people,

00:15:27.340 --> 00:15:28.919
 we will obey.

00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:30.919
 Take your bulletin.

00:15:30.980 --> 00:15:32.560
 There's a quote which I didn't plan to use,

00:15:32.659 --> 00:15:33.460
 but it's just fitting.

00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:35.379
 If I spurge it on the front of it,

00:15:35.620 --> 00:15:36.139
 which says,

00:15:36.139 --> 00:15:38.960
 those whom free grace chooses,

00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:41.299
 free grace cleanses,

00:15:41.299 --> 00:15:43.919
 we are not chosen because we are holy,

00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.279
 but chosen to be holy.

00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:47.639
 And being chosen,

00:15:47.740 --> 00:15:48.919
 the purpose is no dead letter,

00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:52.659
 but we are made to seek after holiness.

00:15:52.659 --> 00:15:55.360
 So by the same grace that saves us,

00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:57.819
 this grace perfects us.

00:15:58.079 --> 00:15:58.500
 And therefore,

00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:03.899
 we work as we are serving the Lord Christ.

00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:06.319
 The second motivation found in verse 25

00:16:06.319 --> 00:16:07.339
 stated in the negative,

00:16:08.299 --> 00:16:10.219
 for the wrongdoer will be paid back

00:16:10.219 --> 00:16:12.199
 for the wrong he has done

00:16:12.199 --> 00:16:14.939
 and there is no partiality.

00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:18.000
 Here I believe that Paul is referring to

00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:20.320
 immediate punishment,

00:16:20.500 --> 00:16:22.200
 immediate wrongdoing.

00:16:22.560 --> 00:16:24.680
 If you choose this other path,

00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:26.980
 if you're going to not serve your master

00:16:26.980 --> 00:16:27.520
 as you should,

00:16:27.580 --> 00:16:30.960
 there will be consequences for this.

00:16:31.900 --> 00:16:33.340
 Galatians 6-7 says,

00:16:33.420 --> 00:16:34.120
 Do not be deceived.

00:16:34.300 --> 00:16:35.260
 God is not mocked.

00:16:35.280 --> 00:16:36.640
 For whatever one sows,

00:16:36.800 --> 00:16:39.540
 that will he also reap.

00:16:40.140 --> 00:16:41.800
 It will go well with you

00:16:41.800 --> 00:16:44.000
 if you walk in the ways of God.

00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.620
 And it will not if you do not.

00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:48.879
 So that was the second point.

00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:51.080
 Thirdly,

00:16:52.340 --> 00:16:53.759
 Paul does not neglect

00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:57.259
 God's desire for justice.

00:16:57.899 --> 00:16:59.259
 Chapter 4, verse 1.

00:16:59.960 --> 00:17:01.379
 Masters, treat your bondservants

00:17:01.379 --> 00:17:03.379
 justly and fairly,

00:17:03.980 --> 00:17:05.740
 knowing that you also have a master

00:17:05.740 --> 00:17:07.279
 in heaven.

00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:10.119
 Now I'm sure you've already noted,

00:17:10.579 --> 00:17:13.059
 seen the interesting chapter break here.

00:17:13.059 --> 00:17:14.679
 Isn't it strange

00:17:14.679 --> 00:17:16.179
 when a sermon is preached

00:17:16.179 --> 00:17:18.779
 that crosses over a chapter break?

00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:20.440
 It doesn't happen very often.

00:17:20.679 --> 00:17:21.059
 Typically,

00:17:21.539 --> 00:17:22.599
 chapters and verses

00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:24.159
 are divided up very neatly

00:17:24.159 --> 00:17:25.339
 and appropriately.

00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:26.919
 This is an interesting one.

00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:28.019
 But let me remind you,

00:17:28.059 --> 00:17:28.879
 if you don't already know,

00:17:29.339 --> 00:17:30.639
 that chapters and verses

00:17:30.639 --> 00:17:31.799
 are not inspired.

00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:33.740
 The original Greek text

00:17:33.740 --> 00:17:35.700
 did not have chapter and verse.

00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:36.039
 In fact,

00:17:36.059 --> 00:17:38.179
 had no punctuation either.

00:17:38.339 --> 00:17:39.059
 They're not inspired.

00:17:39.059 --> 00:17:42.480
 The ones we have before us today

00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:43.759
 are largely taken

00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:44.819
 from the Geneva Bible.

00:17:45.179 --> 00:17:46.179
 And there's a history

00:17:46.179 --> 00:17:47.859
 behind that as well.

00:17:48.159 --> 00:17:49.139
 Other sourcing

00:17:49.139 --> 00:17:50.059
 and historical roots

00:17:50.059 --> 00:17:50.759
 for how the Geneva

00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:52.799
 arrived at the way that it did.

00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:54.500
 This one is a bit of a mystery.

00:17:55.299 --> 00:17:56.240
 And I didn't take a ton of time

00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:56.639
 this week.

00:17:56.679 --> 00:17:57.440
 I just didn't think it was

00:17:57.440 --> 00:17:58.500
 of great value

00:17:58.500 --> 00:18:00.139
 for my week

00:18:00.139 --> 00:18:00.899
 and the effort of it

00:18:00.899 --> 00:18:01.539
 to figure out

00:18:01.539 --> 00:18:02.399
 why exactly,

00:18:02.740 --> 00:18:03.119
 possibly,

00:18:03.259 --> 00:18:04.220
 this had happened.

00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:04.740
 But I did find

00:18:04.740 --> 00:18:05.460
 an interesting quote.

00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:07.119
 Another Spurgeon quote,

00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:08.059
 of course,

00:18:09.479 --> 00:18:10.279
 and he wrote

00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:11.399
 of this text,

00:18:11.539 --> 00:18:12.479
 I sometimes think

00:18:12.479 --> 00:18:13.479
 that the good men

00:18:13.479 --> 00:18:14.399
 who chop the Bible

00:18:14.399 --> 00:18:15.299
 up into chapters

00:18:15.299 --> 00:18:17.039
 must have hoped

00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:18.019
 that we should not

00:18:18.019 --> 00:18:19.199
 read this message

00:18:19.199 --> 00:18:20.339
 to the masters

00:18:20.339 --> 00:18:21.619
 as he had put it

00:18:21.619 --> 00:18:22.339
 in another chapter.

00:18:22.979 --> 00:18:24.479
 But I never like to read

00:18:24.479 --> 00:18:26.399
 about the servants

00:18:26.399 --> 00:18:27.359
 without also reading

00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:28.159
 about the masters.

00:18:28.679 --> 00:18:29.879
 There are six for one

00:18:29.879 --> 00:18:30.679
 and half a dozen

00:18:30.679 --> 00:18:31.219
 for the other

00:18:31.219 --> 00:18:32.679
 and as is usual

00:18:32.679 --> 00:18:33.699
 in the scriptures

00:18:33.699 --> 00:18:35.299
 there are balanced duties.

00:18:36.179 --> 00:18:36.719
 If there is

00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:37.380
 an exhortation

00:18:37.380 --> 00:18:37.920
 to the children

00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:38.759
 there is generally

00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:39.480
 one to the parents

00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:40.100
 close by.

00:18:40.460 --> 00:18:40.980
 And if there is

00:18:40.980 --> 00:18:41.940
 a word to wives

00:18:41.940 --> 00:18:42.620
 there is one

00:18:42.620 --> 00:18:44.559
 for husbands too.

00:18:44.860 --> 00:18:45.860
 And so he postulates

00:18:45.860 --> 00:18:46.700
 that it's possible

00:18:46.700 --> 00:18:47.500
 that the people

00:18:47.500 --> 00:18:48.779
 who chopped this up

00:18:48.779 --> 00:18:49.799
 just didn't want us

00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:50.799
 to see it together.

00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:52.360
 We don't know.

00:18:52.539 --> 00:18:52.960
 But certainly

00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:54.140
 we need to take it

00:18:54.140 --> 00:18:54.759
 together.

00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:56.400
 Both the implications

00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:57.420
 for both sides

00:18:57.420 --> 00:18:59.640
 of this relationship.

00:19:00.380 --> 00:19:01.839
 So addressed here

00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:03.039
 Paul says

00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:04.900
 in this social system

00:19:04.900 --> 00:19:05.780
 that exists

00:19:05.780 --> 00:19:06.320
 masters

00:19:06.320 --> 00:19:08.240
 treat your slaves

00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:09.300
 or your bond servants

00:19:09.300 --> 00:19:12.080
 justly and fairly.

00:19:12.340 --> 00:19:13.140
 Deal with them

00:19:13.140 --> 00:19:14.100
 appropriately

00:19:14.100 --> 00:19:16.340
 as the God of heaven

00:19:16.340 --> 00:19:18.220
 because we also

00:19:18.220 --> 00:19:19.100
 have a master

00:19:19.100 --> 00:19:20.200
 in heaven

00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:22.320
 has treated you.

00:19:23.280 --> 00:19:23.860
 There's a great deal

00:19:23.860 --> 00:19:24.460
 of theme

00:19:24.460 --> 00:19:25.080
 in the scriptures

00:19:25.080 --> 00:19:26.820
 concerning justice.

00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:27.340
 Let me give you

00:19:27.340 --> 00:19:28.340
 two Old Testament

00:19:28.340 --> 00:19:28.860
 examples.

00:19:29.019 --> 00:19:29.800
 Micah 6.8

00:19:29.800 --> 00:19:30.500
 says

00:19:30.500 --> 00:19:41.099
 Proverbs 21.3

00:19:41.099 --> 00:19:42.160
 To do righteousness

00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:43.279
 and justice

00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:44.359
 is more acceptable

00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:44.980
 to the Lord

00:19:44.980 --> 00:19:46.660
 than sacrifice.

00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:47.859
 And so this is

00:19:47.859 --> 00:19:48.720
 required

00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:50.420
 in this relationship

00:19:50.420 --> 00:19:51.460
 that Paul is writing

00:19:51.460 --> 00:19:52.119
 to that masters

00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:53.099
 would treat their slaves

00:19:53.099 --> 00:19:54.380
 justly

00:19:54.380 --> 00:19:55.460
 and fairly.

00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:56.799
 And this is the way

00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:58.539
 in which the new self

00:19:58.539 --> 00:20:00.919
 affects the Christian

00:20:00.919 --> 00:20:02.139
 household.

00:20:02.659 --> 00:20:03.779
 Likely cared for

00:20:03.779 --> 00:20:04.500
 in this way.

00:20:04.919 --> 00:20:06.159
 Wives and children

00:20:06.159 --> 00:20:07.700
 with servants

00:20:07.700 --> 00:20:08.659
 in the home

00:20:08.659 --> 00:20:10.299
 doing a work there.

00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:11.220
 The servants

00:20:11.220 --> 00:20:12.220
 should obey

00:20:12.220 --> 00:20:12.940
 in everything

00:20:12.940 --> 00:20:14.000
 with a sincerity

00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:14.559
 of heart

00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:15.279
 looking to please

00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:15.980
 God ultimately

00:20:15.980 --> 00:20:17.000
 and the masters

00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:18.480
 should treat them

00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:19.779
 justly and fairly

00:20:19.779 --> 00:20:20.480
 recognizing

00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:21.399
 that they have

00:20:21.399 --> 00:20:22.279
 a master

00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:23.440
 in heaven.

00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:25.200
 I don't think

00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:25.819
 any of us

00:20:25.819 --> 00:20:26.419
 in this room

00:20:26.419 --> 00:20:27.839
 have servants

00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:28.439
 in our home.

00:20:29.439 --> 00:20:30.179
 Maybe some of you

00:20:30.179 --> 00:20:30.720
 can pay somebody

00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:31.119
 to come over

00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:31.879
 and cut your grass

00:20:31.879 --> 00:20:33.759
 or clean up

00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:34.279
 after you

00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:35.559
 but more than likely

00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:36.539
 we don't.

00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:36.960
 And so we need

00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:37.779
 to ask the question

00:20:37.779 --> 00:20:38.759
 what is the

00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:39.679
 application

00:20:39.679 --> 00:20:41.559
 for our context?

00:20:42.579 --> 00:20:43.179
 In verse 23

00:20:43.179 --> 00:20:43.639
 I think

00:20:43.639 --> 00:20:44.720
 to bring us back

00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:46.039
 to and pull that

00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:47.079
 I didn't skip it

00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:48.059
 it's here

00:20:48.059 --> 00:20:49.779
 in our preaching.

00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:51.240
 Whatever you do

00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:51.819
 children you should

00:20:51.819 --> 00:20:52.359
 know this one

00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:53.539
 we've been memorizing it

00:20:53.539 --> 00:20:54.539
 work heartily

00:20:54.539 --> 00:20:56.359
 as for the Lord

00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:58.059
 and not for men.

00:20:58.559 --> 00:20:59.599
 That's found within

00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:01.659
 this exhortation

00:21:01.659 --> 00:21:02.379
 to the slave.

00:21:02.460 --> 00:21:03.440
 I'm not ignoring that

00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:03.859
 but he says

00:21:03.859 --> 00:21:04.579
 whatever you do

00:21:04.579 --> 00:21:05.539
 whatever you're asked

00:21:05.539 --> 00:21:06.299
 to do

00:21:06.299 --> 00:21:07.359
 work heartily

00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:08.700
 as for the Lord

00:21:08.700 --> 00:21:10.119
 and not for men.

00:21:10.220 --> 00:21:10.859
 And I think rightly

00:21:10.859 --> 00:21:11.960
 we can take the principles

00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:12.599
 found here

00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:13.420
 and we can draw them

00:21:13.420 --> 00:21:14.839
 into our modern day

00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:15.759
 to speak of

00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:16.680
 any situation

00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:17.819
 that we find ourselves in

00:21:17.819 --> 00:21:18.740
 where there is an authority

00:21:18.740 --> 00:21:19.659
 figure placed

00:21:19.659 --> 00:21:20.759
 over us.

00:21:21.259 --> 00:21:21.639
 Namely

00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:23.460
 for our church

00:21:23.460 --> 00:21:24.560
 your job

00:21:24.560 --> 00:21:25.980
 and schooling

00:21:25.980 --> 00:21:27.140
 your classroom

00:21:27.140 --> 00:21:28.259
 as well

00:21:28.259 --> 00:21:29.600
 that you recognize

00:21:29.600 --> 00:21:30.660
 while we do so

00:21:30.660 --> 00:21:31.259
 voluntarily

00:21:31.259 --> 00:21:33.220
 you don't have to

00:21:33.220 --> 00:21:34.040
 work at your job

00:21:34.040 --> 00:21:35.440
 you don't have to

00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:36.280
 be a student

00:21:36.280 --> 00:21:37.020
 at the University of

00:21:37.020 --> 00:21:37.500
 North Georgia

00:21:37.500 --> 00:21:38.380
 or at one of the other

00:21:38.380 --> 00:21:39.740
 schools in our area

00:21:39.740 --> 00:21:41.480
 you can sign up

00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:42.060
 for a class

00:21:42.060 --> 00:21:42.680
 and you can drop

00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:43.120
 the class

00:21:43.120 --> 00:21:43.440
 you can say

00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:44.700
 I really don't like

00:21:44.700 --> 00:21:45.300
 the professor

00:21:45.300 --> 00:21:46.400
 already in this first week

00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:46.960
 I can tell

00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:47.500
 I'm not going to

00:21:47.500 --> 00:21:48.060
 enjoy this class

00:21:48.060 --> 00:21:48.620
 and you can get

00:21:48.620 --> 00:21:49.580
 out of the class

00:21:49.579 --> 00:21:50.559
 we voluntarily

00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:51.559
 submit ourselves

00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:52.159
 to the authority

00:21:52.159 --> 00:21:53.179
 but once we are

00:21:53.179 --> 00:21:54.279
 submitted to that authority

00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:55.619
 while we are

00:21:55.619 --> 00:21:56.500
 under their

00:21:56.500 --> 00:21:58.159
 guidance

00:21:58.159 --> 00:22:00.480
 we should do this

00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:02.079
 in the same way

00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:03.039
 heartily

00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:04.559
 we should throw

00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:05.799
 our very being

00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:07.299
 into the work

00:22:07.299 --> 00:22:08.539
 that we're doing

00:22:08.539 --> 00:22:09.799
 because we're not

00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:10.460
 ultimately working

00:22:10.460 --> 00:22:11.059
 for them

00:22:11.059 --> 00:22:11.699
 ultimately we're

00:22:11.699 --> 00:22:13.179
 working for God

00:22:13.179 --> 00:22:13.779
 God has put us

00:22:13.779 --> 00:22:14.359
 in this world

00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:16.500
 to work and to keep

00:22:16.500 --> 00:22:17.179
 to produce

00:22:17.179 --> 00:22:18.039
 and we ought to

00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:18.919
 do that well

00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:20.800
 beloved Christians

00:22:20.800 --> 00:22:21.720
 should be the very

00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:22.539
 very best

00:22:22.539 --> 00:22:23.560
 of students

00:22:23.560 --> 00:22:24.300
 and the very

00:22:24.300 --> 00:22:24.960
 very best

00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:25.800
 of employees

00:22:25.800 --> 00:22:27.100
 not that we're

00:22:27.100 --> 00:22:28.019
 necessarily the

00:22:28.019 --> 00:22:28.840
 smartest

00:22:28.840 --> 00:22:29.840
 or the most

00:22:29.840 --> 00:22:30.460
 talented

00:22:30.460 --> 00:22:31.880
 but we ought to

00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:32.340
 be the hardest

00:22:32.340 --> 00:22:32.860
 workers

00:22:32.860 --> 00:22:34.300
 we should be

00:22:34.300 --> 00:22:34.779
 the ones that

00:22:34.779 --> 00:22:35.380
 are showing up

00:22:35.380 --> 00:22:36.460
 early and leaving

00:22:36.460 --> 00:22:37.380
 late

00:22:37.380 --> 00:22:38.300
 we should be

00:22:38.300 --> 00:22:38.800
 the ones that

00:22:38.800 --> 00:22:39.519
 work through

00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:40.400
 the lunch break

00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:41.120
 we should be

00:22:41.120 --> 00:22:41.680
 the ones that

00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:42.779
 leverage all

00:22:42.779 --> 00:22:43.420
 that we have

00:22:43.420 --> 00:22:44.100
 for the sake

00:22:44.100 --> 00:22:44.800
 of our

00:22:44.800 --> 00:22:45.580
 employer

00:22:45.580 --> 00:22:46.519
 or for the sake

00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:47.420
 of your

00:22:47.420 --> 00:22:48.360
 professor

00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:49.799
 people should

00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:50.959
 be impressed

00:22:50.959 --> 00:22:51.839
 by the way

00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:52.459
 in which

00:22:52.459 --> 00:22:53.719
 we work

00:22:53.719 --> 00:22:54.799
 a great deal

00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:55.479
 of devotion

00:22:55.479 --> 00:22:56.559
 on our part

00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:57.000
 because we're

00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:57.740
 not doing it

00:22:57.740 --> 00:22:58.459
 for them

00:22:58.459 --> 00:22:59.559
 we're doing it

00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:00.139
 for God

00:23:00.139 --> 00:23:00.879
 God has placed

00:23:00.879 --> 00:23:02.279
 tasks ahead

00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:03.159
 of us

00:23:03.159 --> 00:23:03.679
 and we ought

00:23:03.679 --> 00:23:04.419
 to do them

00:23:04.419 --> 00:23:05.619
 heartily

00:23:05.619 --> 00:23:06.959
 throw your energy

00:23:06.959 --> 00:23:07.939
 into the things

00:23:07.939 --> 00:23:08.479
 that you have

00:23:08.479 --> 00:23:09.519
 going on

00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:10.579
 and if you can't

00:23:10.579 --> 00:23:11.299
 rightly work

00:23:11.299 --> 00:23:12.879
 for a boss

00:23:12.879 --> 00:23:13.939
 or for

00:23:13.939 --> 00:23:14.919
 being a class

00:23:14.919 --> 00:23:15.179
 and being

00:23:15.179 --> 00:23:15.579
 underneath

00:23:15.579 --> 00:23:16.339
 a professor

00:23:16.339 --> 00:23:17.419
 then stop

00:23:17.419 --> 00:23:17.899
 but until

00:23:17.899 --> 00:23:18.439
 you do

00:23:18.439 --> 00:23:19.659
 be obedient

00:23:19.659 --> 00:23:20.199
 to the thing

00:23:20.199 --> 00:23:20.679
 that God

00:23:20.679 --> 00:23:21.599
 has asked

00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:22.519
 of you

00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:24.159
 a note

00:23:24.159 --> 00:23:24.419
 in our

00:23:24.419 --> 00:23:24.919
 employment

00:23:24.919 --> 00:23:26.240
 especially for

00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:26.559
 you young

00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:27.019
 people who

00:23:27.019 --> 00:23:27.480
 are looking

00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:28.779
 toward that

00:23:28.779 --> 00:23:30.539
 so many

00:23:30.539 --> 00:23:31.279
 of us

00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:32.679
 enslave

00:23:32.679 --> 00:23:33.259
 ourselves

00:23:33.259 --> 00:23:33.799
 to our

00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:34.259
 employers

00:23:34.259 --> 00:23:34.819
 by the

00:23:34.819 --> 00:23:35.240
 lifestyle

00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:35.639
 that we

00:23:35.639 --> 00:23:36.039
 choose

00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:36.799
 to live

00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:37.419
 we get

00:23:37.419 --> 00:23:37.740
 ourselves

00:23:37.740 --> 00:23:38.019
 in a

00:23:38.019 --> 00:23:38.279
 living

00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:38.879
 situation

00:23:38.879 --> 00:23:39.339
 where we

00:23:39.339 --> 00:23:39.720
 couldn't

00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:40.559
 possibly

00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:41.559
 lose

00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:42.179
 the job

00:23:42.180 --> 00:23:43.460
 or quit

00:23:43.460 --> 00:23:44.100
 the job

00:23:44.100 --> 00:23:44.700
 because we're

00:23:44.700 --> 00:23:46.000
 so financially

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:47.140
 strapped

00:23:47.140 --> 00:23:47.740
 we're so

00:23:47.740 --> 00:23:48.140
 tight

00:23:48.140 --> 00:23:48.560
 we're living

00:23:48.560 --> 00:23:49.380
 right up

00:23:49.380 --> 00:23:49.920
 to our

00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:50.220
 limit

00:23:50.220 --> 00:23:50.740
 paycheck

00:23:50.740 --> 00:23:51.380
 to paycheck

00:23:51.380 --> 00:23:52.360
 is often

00:23:52.360 --> 00:23:52.960
 the phrase

00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:54.000
 being used

00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:54.820
 that if you

00:23:54.820 --> 00:23:55.840
 were to

00:23:55.840 --> 00:23:56.240
 come out

00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:56.700
 from underneath

00:23:56.700 --> 00:23:57.480
 the authority

00:23:57.480 --> 00:23:57.980
 of that

00:23:57.980 --> 00:23:58.500
 individual

00:23:58.500 --> 00:23:59.140
 you couldn't

00:23:59.140 --> 00:23:59.700
 possibly

00:23:59.700 --> 00:24:00.940
 survive

00:24:00.940 --> 00:24:01.960
 Proverbs 22

00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:02.580
 7 says

00:24:02.580 --> 00:24:03.060
 the rich

00:24:03.060 --> 00:24:03.580
 rules over

00:24:03.580 --> 00:24:04.080
 the poor

00:24:04.080 --> 00:24:04.560
 and the

00:24:04.560 --> 00:24:05.080
 borrower

00:24:05.080 --> 00:24:05.600
 is the

00:24:05.600 --> 00:24:06.259
 slave

00:24:06.259 --> 00:24:07.200
 of the

00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:07.519
 lender

00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:09.080
 so this

00:24:09.080 --> 00:24:09.340
 is an

00:24:09.340 --> 00:24:09.720
 aside

00:24:09.720 --> 00:24:10.220
 to that

00:24:10.220 --> 00:24:10.900
 be careful

00:24:10.900 --> 00:24:11.600
 how you

00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:11.959
 spend

00:24:11.959 --> 00:24:12.159
 your

00:24:12.159 --> 00:24:12.379
 money

00:24:12.379 --> 00:24:13.139
 and who

00:24:13.139 --> 00:24:13.539
 you get

00:24:13.539 --> 00:24:13.959
 involved

00:24:13.959 --> 00:24:14.299
 with

00:24:14.299 --> 00:24:14.559
 because

00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:15.079
 once you

00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:15.579
 are

00:24:15.579 --> 00:24:16.859
 God

00:24:16.859 --> 00:24:17.719
 says

00:24:17.719 --> 00:24:18.679
 be obedient

00:24:18.679 --> 00:24:19.899
 in everything

00:24:19.899 --> 00:24:20.879
 provided that

00:24:20.879 --> 00:24:21.199
 you don't

00:24:21.199 --> 00:24:22.159
 break the

00:24:22.159 --> 00:24:22.639
 commandment

00:24:22.639 --> 00:24:23.799
 of God

00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:26.199
 now in

00:24:26.199 --> 00:24:26.539
 closing

00:24:26.539 --> 00:24:26.939
 I want you

00:24:26.939 --> 00:24:27.179
 guys to

00:24:27.179 --> 00:24:27.439
 turn to

00:24:27.439 --> 00:24:27.980
 Romans chapter

00:24:27.980 --> 00:24:28.500
 6 with

00:24:28.500 --> 00:24:28.759
 me

00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:32.759
 if you're

00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:33.059
 a regular

00:24:33.059 --> 00:24:33.419
 with us

00:24:33.419 --> 00:24:33.639
 you are

00:24:33.639 --> 00:24:33.980
 shocked

00:24:33.980 --> 00:24:34.219
 that I

00:24:34.219 --> 00:24:34.500
 just said

00:24:34.500 --> 00:24:34.919
 in closing

00:24:34.919 --> 00:24:37.480
 we've got

00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:37.659
 a little

00:24:37.659 --> 00:24:38.000
 ways to

00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:38.199
 go

00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:42.860
 I want

00:24:42.860 --> 00:24:43.360
 to pause

00:24:43.360 --> 00:24:43.640
 it to

00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:43.799
 you

00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:44.059
 I want

00:24:44.059 --> 00:24:44.240
 you to

00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:44.460
 stop

00:24:44.460 --> 00:24:44.759
 and think

00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:44.940
 about

00:24:44.940 --> 00:24:45.279
 this

00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:45.620
 phrase

00:24:45.620 --> 00:24:45.880
 that I'm

00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:46.080
 about

00:24:46.080 --> 00:24:46.340
 saying

00:24:46.340 --> 00:24:46.600
 that I'm

00:24:46.600 --> 00:24:46.700
 going to

00:24:46.700 --> 00:24:46.900
 give you

00:24:46.900 --> 00:24:47.100
 some

00:24:47.100 --> 00:24:47.500
 biblical

00:24:47.500 --> 00:24:47.799
 proof

00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:48.120
 of it

00:24:48.120 --> 00:24:48.819
 but that

00:24:48.819 --> 00:24:49.059
 is

00:24:49.059 --> 00:24:49.559
 that we

00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:50.160
 are all

00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:50.600
 every

00:24:50.600 --> 00:24:50.920
 one of

00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:51.240
 us

00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:51.640
 right

00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:52.660
 in

00:24:52.660 --> 00:24:53.019
 Christ

00:24:53.019 --> 00:24:53.460
 not in

00:24:53.460 --> 00:24:53.640
 Christ

00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:54.120
 all of

00:24:54.120 --> 00:24:54.480
 humanity

00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:55.180
 all of

00:24:55.180 --> 00:24:55.380
 us

00:24:55.380 --> 00:24:55.580
 are

00:24:55.580 --> 00:24:56.299
 slaves

00:24:56.299 --> 00:24:57.180
 to

00:24:57.180 --> 00:24:57.580
 something

00:24:57.580 --> 00:24:58.720
 we

00:24:58.720 --> 00:24:58.960
 are

00:24:58.960 --> 00:24:59.500
 all

00:24:59.500 --> 00:25:00.720
 slaves

00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:01.720
 to

00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:02.080
 something

00:25:02.080 --> 00:25:02.960
 you

00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:03.220
 are

00:25:03.220 --> 00:25:03.460
 a

00:25:03.460 --> 00:25:03.840
 slave

00:25:03.840 --> 00:25:04.039
 to

00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:04.420
 whatever

00:25:04.420 --> 00:25:04.660
 it

00:25:04.660 --> 00:25:05.000
 is

00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:05.600
 that

00:25:05.600 --> 00:25:05.860
 you

00:25:05.859 --> 00:25:06.939
 worship

00:25:06.939 --> 00:25:08.199
 and I

00:25:08.199 --> 00:25:08.359
 want to

00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:08.579
 show you

00:25:08.579 --> 00:25:08.699
 that

00:25:08.699 --> 00:25:08.839
 in

00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:09.079
 Romans

00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:09.959
 6

00:25:09.959 --> 00:25:10.279
 beginning

00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:10.500
 in

00:25:10.500 --> 00:25:10.779
 verse

00:25:10.779 --> 00:25:11.500
 15

00:25:11.500 --> 00:25:14.339
 we're

00:25:14.339 --> 00:25:14.579
 picking

00:25:14.579 --> 00:25:14.759
 up

00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:14.839
 in

00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:14.919
 the

00:25:14.919 --> 00:25:15.039
 middle

00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:15.139
 of

00:25:15.139 --> 00:25:15.240
 his

00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:15.559
 argument

00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:15.759
 so

00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:15.859
 you

00:25:15.859 --> 00:25:16.019
 see

00:25:16.019 --> 00:25:16.240
 that

00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:16.599
 you

00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:16.779
 may

00:25:16.779 --> 00:25:16.879
 be

00:25:16.879 --> 00:25:17.000
 a

00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:17.099
 little

00:25:17.099 --> 00:25:17.679
 confused

00:25:17.679 --> 00:25:18.019
 but

00:25:18.019 --> 00:25:18.359
 we're

00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:18.519
 picking

00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:18.699
 up

00:25:18.699 --> 00:25:18.799
 at

00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:18.939
 verse

00:25:18.939 --> 00:25:19.319
 15

00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:20.019
 what

00:25:20.019 --> 00:25:20.379
 then

00:25:20.379 --> 00:25:21.339
 are

00:25:21.339 --> 00:25:21.500
 we

00:25:21.500 --> 00:25:21.679
 to

00:25:21.679 --> 00:25:21.959
 sin

00:25:21.959 --> 00:25:22.219
 because

00:25:22.219 --> 00:25:22.399
 we

00:25:22.399 --> 00:25:22.500
 are

00:25:22.500 --> 00:25:22.879
 not

00:25:22.879 --> 00:25:23.359
 under

00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:23.899
 law

00:25:23.899 --> 00:25:24.459
 but

00:25:24.459 --> 00:25:24.719
 under

00:25:24.719 --> 00:25:25.279
 grace

 by

00:25:26.199 --> 00:25:26.619
 no

00:25:26.619 --> 00:25:27.459
 means

00:25:27.459 --> 00:25:28.599
 do

00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:28.740
 you

00:25:28.740 --> 00:25:28.979
 not

00:25:28.979 --> 00:25:29.339
 know

00:25:29.339 --> 00:25:29.539
 that

00:25:29.539 --> 00:25:29.659
 if

00:25:29.659 --> 00:25:29.759
 you

00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:30.119
 present

00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:30.599
 yourselves

00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:30.619
!

00:25:30.619 --> 00:25:30.839
 to

00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:31.259
 anyone

00:25:31.259 --> 00:25:31.679
 as

00:25:31.679 --> 00:25:32.079
 obedient

00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:32.759
 slaves

00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:33.019
 you

00:25:33.019 --> 00:25:33.180
 are

00:25:33.180 --> 00:25:33.779
 slaves

00:25:33.779 --> 00:25:33.960
 to

00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:34.140
 the

00:25:34.140 --> 00:25:34.480
 one

00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:35.019
 whom

00:25:35.019 --> 00:25:35.319
 you

00:25:35.319 --> 00:25:35.940
 obey

00:25:35.940 --> 00:25:36.700
 so

00:25:36.700 --> 00:25:36.779
 you

00:25:36.779 --> 00:25:36.859
 get

00:25:36.859 --> 00:25:36.980
 the

00:25:36.980 --> 00:25:37.200
 logic

00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:37.440

 this

00:31:17.040 --> 00:31:17.160
 is

 bring

00:31:20.060 --> 00:31:20.280
 us

00:31:20.280 --> 00:31:20.580
 this

00:31:20.580 --> 00:31:20.660
 is

00:31:20.660 --> 00:31:20.780
 the

00:31:20.780 --> 00:31:21.080
 great

00:31:21.080 --> 00:31:21.400
 thing

 reminds

00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:22.120
 us

00:31:22.120 --> 00:31:22.520
 again

00:31:22.520 --> 00:31:22.940
 and

00:31:22.940 --> 00:31:23.320
 again

00:31:23.320 --> 00:31:23.740

 great

00:31:25.100 --> 00:31:25.380
 love

00:31:25.380 --> 00:31:25.580
 for

00:31:25.580 --> 00:31:25.820
 us

00:31:25.820 --> 00:31:26.240
 in

00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:26.720
 Christ

00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:27.940
 keeps

00:31:27.940 --> 00:31:28.400
 me

00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:29.039
 warm

00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:29.779
 because

00:31:29.779 --> 00:31:29.900
 I

00:31:29.900 --> 00:31:30.059
 grow

00:31:30.059 --> 00:31:30.420
 cold

00:31:30.420 --> 00:31:30.579
 I

00:31:30.579 --> 00:31:30.779
 drift

00:31:30.779 --> 00:31:31.019
 away

00:31:31.019 --> 00:31:31.220
 from

00:31:31.220 --> 00:31:31.620
 this

00:31:31.620 --> 00:31:31.960
 I

00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:32.079
 get

00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:32.319
 away

00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:32.519
 from

00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:32.819
 reading

00:31:32.819 --> 00:31:33.000
 the

00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:33.279
 scripture

00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:33.720
 and

00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:33.900
 being

00:31:33.900 --> 00:31:34.359
 engaged

00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:34.620
 in it

00:31:34.620 --> 00:31:34.900
 and

00:31:34.900 --> 00:31:35.220
 meditating

00:31:35.220 --> 00:31:35.759
 on it

00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:36.120
 and

00:31:36.120 --> 00:31:36.500
 suddenly

00:31:36.500 --> 00:31:36.880
 I

00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:37.180
 forget

00:31:37.180 --> 00:31:37.359
 the

00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:37.700
 gospel

00:31:37.700 --> 00:31:38.579
 I

00:31:38.579 --> 00:31:38.779
 know

00:31:38.779 --> 00:31:39.059
 what up

00:31:39.059 --> 00:31:39.240
 here

00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:39.359
 but

00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:39.500
 my

00:31:39.500 --> 00:31:39.839
 heart

00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:40.339
 fails

00:31:40.339 --> 00:31:40.759
 to

00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:41.019
 believe

00:31:41.019 --> 00:31:41.299
 it

00:31:41.299 --> 00:31:41.980
 and

00:31:41.980 --> 00:31:42.120
 my

00:31:42.120 --> 00:31:42.400
 life

00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:42.920
 begins

00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:43.220
 to

00:31:43.220 --> 00:31:43.620
 look

00:31:43.620 --> 00:31:45.220
 more

00:31:45.220 --> 00:31:45.460
 like

00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:47.160
 less

00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:47.559
 like

 in

00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:09.079
 me

00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:09.639

00:32:09.639 --> 00:32:09.779
 the

00:32:09.779 --> 00:32:10.019
 life

00:32:10.019 --> 00:32:10.159
 I

00:32:10.159 --> 00:32:10.419
 now

00:32:10.419 --> 00:32:10.720
 live

00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:10.799
 in

00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:10.939
 the

00:32:10.939 --> 00:32:11.220
 flesh

00:32:11.220 --> 00:32:11.399
 I

00:32:11.399 --> 00:32:11.659
 live

00:32:11.659 --> 00:32:11.839
 by

00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:12.379
 faith

00:32:12.379 --> 00:32:12.819

00:32:12.959 --> 00:32:13.099
 Son

00:32:13.099 --> 00:32:13.259
 of

00:32:13.259 --> 00:32:13.519
 God

00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:13.699
 who

00:32:13.699 --> 00:32:14.079
 loved

00:32:14.079 --> 00:32:14.379
 me

00:32:14.379 --> 00:32:15.079
 and

00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:15.399
 gave

00:32:15.399 --> 00:32:15.859
 himself

00:32:15.859 --> 00:32:16.639
 for

00:32:16.639 --> 00:32:16.899
 me

00:32:16.899 --> 00:32:17.419
 my

00:32:17.419 --> 00:32:17.959
 old

00:32:17.959 --> 00:32:18.519
 self

00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:19.019
 has

00:32:19.019 --> 00:32:19.720
 died

00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:20.159
 and

00:32:20.159 --> 00:32:20.419
 now

00:32:20.420 --> 00:32:20.660
 this

00:32:20.660 --> 00:32:20.980
 life

00:32:20.980 --> 00:32:21.100
 that

00:32:21.100 --> 00:32:21.220
 I

00:32:21.220 --> 00:32:21.519
 still

00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:21.779
 live

00:32:24.580 --> 00:32:24.779

00:32:24.779 --> 00:32:24.900
 this

00:32:24.900 --> 00:32:24.980
 is

00:32:24.980 --> 00:32:25.100
 why

00:32:25.100 --> 00:32:25.340
 Paul

00:32:25.340 --> 00:32:25.840
 repeatedly

00:32:25.840 --> 00:32:26.200
 calls

00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:26.660
 himself

00:32:26.660 --> 00:32:27.519
 a

 slave

00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:28.200
 of

 Christ

00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:28.960
 in

 were

 bought

00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:40.800
 grace

00:32:40.800 --> 00:32:41.019
 is

00:32:41.019 --> 00:32:41.440
 not

00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:42.259
 cheap

00:32:42.259 --> 00:32:42.900
 you

00:32:42.900 --> 00:32:43.039
 don't

00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:43.800
 respond

00:32:43.800 --> 00:32:44.180
 to

 invitation

00:32:45.779 --> 00:32:46.360
 and

00:32:46.360 --> 00:32:46.519
 then

00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:46.860
 live

00:32:46.860 --> 00:32:47.140
 however

00:32:47.140 --> 00:32:47.440
 you

00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:47.660
 want

00:32:47.660 --> 00:32:47.800
 to

00:32:47.800 --> 00:32:48.320
 live

00:32:48.320 --> 00:32:49.820
 you

00:32:49.819 --> 00:32:50.220
 must

00:32:50.220 --> 00:32:50.720
 live

00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:50.899
 in

00:32:50.899 --> 00:32:51.439
 response

00:32:51.439 --> 00:32:51.779
 to

00:32:51.779 --> 00:32:51.919
 the

00:32:51.919 --> 00:32:52.279
 gospel

00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:52.980
 if

00:32:52.980 --> 00:32:53.599
 you

00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:54.200
 are

00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:54.779
 in

00:32:54.779 --> 00:32:55.639
 Christ

 your

00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:56.899
 life

00:32:56.899 --> 00:32:57.460
 will

00:32:57.460 --> 00:32:58.500
 look

00:32:58.500 --> 00:32:59.919
 different

00:32:59.919 --> 00:33:01.539
 and

00:33:01.539 --> 00:33:01.799
 it is a

00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:02.359
 great fear

00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:02.619
 as I

00:33:02.619 --> 00:33:03.039
 say these

00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:03.319
 things

00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:03.779
 to you

00:33:03.779 --> 00:33:04.299
 to

00:33:04.299 --> 00:33:04.960
 cast

00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:05.379
 doubt

00:33:05.379 --> 00:33:05.579
 where

00:33:05.579 --> 00:33:05.899
 doubt

00:33:05.899 --> 00:33:06.240
 doesn't

00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:06.539
 need

00:33:06.539 --> 00:33:07.179
 to be

00:33:07.179 --> 00:33:07.879
 but

00:33:07.879 --> 00:33:08.099
 it is

00:33:08.099 --> 00:33:08.240
 a

00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:08.559
 greater

00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:09.039
 fear

00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:09.439
 that

00:33:09.439 --> 00:33:09.539
 you

00:33:09.539 --> 00:33:09.679
 would

00:33:09.679 --> 00:33:09.980
 come

00:33:09.980 --> 00:33:10.439
 here

00:33:10.439 --> 00:33:11.399
 especially

00:33:11.399 --> 00:33:11.659
 you

00:33:11.659 --> 00:33:11.879
 young

00:33:11.879 --> 00:33:12.240
 people

00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:12.639
 across

00:33:12.639 --> 00:33:12.859
 your

00:33:12.859 --> 00:33:13.159
 college

00:33:13.159 --> 00:33:13.500
 career

00:33:13.500 --> 00:33:14.039
 and

00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:14.220
 get

00:33:14.220 --> 00:33:14.559
 false

00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:15.099
 assurance

00:33:15.099 --> 00:33:15.579
 after

00:33:15.579 --> 00:33:15.900
 false

00:33:15.900 --> 00:33:16.420
 assurance

00:33:16.420 --> 00:33:17.140
 after

00:33:17.140 --> 00:33:17.480
 false

00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:17.920
 assurance

00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:19.299
 because

00:33:19.299 --> 00:33:19.539
 the

00:33:19.539 --> 00:33:19.880
 end

00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:20.099
 is

00:33:20.099 --> 00:33:20.319
 too

00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:20.759
 great

00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:21.660
 it's

00:33:21.660 --> 00:33:21.880
 too

00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:22.420
 costly

00:33:22.420 --> 00:33:22.680
 a

00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:22.980
 thing

00:33:22.980 --> 00:33:23.539
 your

00:33:23.539 --> 00:33:23.819
 end

00:33:23.819 --> 00:33:24.059
 is

00:33:24.059 --> 00:33:25.039
 destruction

00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:25.920
 death

00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:26.140
 and

00:33:26.140 --> 00:33:26.460
 eternal

00:33:26.460 --> 00:33:27.000
 separation

00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:27.279
 from

00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:27.559
 God

00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:27.720
 if

00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:27.859
 you

00:33:27.859 --> 00:33:28.180
 don't

00:33:28.180 --> 00:33:28.619
 wrestle

00:33:28.619 --> 00:33:29.059
 with

00:33:29.059 --> 00:33:29.259
 this

00:33:29.259 --> 00:33:29.740
 idea

00:33:29.740 --> 00:33:30.259
 in

00:33:30.259 --> 00:33:30.380
 your

00:33:30.380 --> 00:33:30.640
 time

00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:30.920
 here

00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:31.299
 if

00:33:31.299 --> 00:33:31.359
 you

00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:31.559
 don't

00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:31.920
 actually

00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:32.299
 wrap

00:33:32.299 --> 00:33:32.480
 your

00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:32.859
 mind

00:33:32.859 --> 00:33:33.259
 around

00:33:33.259 --> 00:33:33.819
 Jesus

00:33:33.819 --> 00:33:34.319
 cannot

00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:34.799
 just

00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:35.019
 be

00:33:35.019 --> 00:33:35.240
 your

00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:35.700
 savior

00:33:35.700 --> 00:33:36.839
 he

00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:37.160
 has

00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:37.299
 to

00:33:37.299 --> 00:33:37.420
 be

00:33:37.420 --> 00:33:37.599
 your

00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:37.960
 savior

00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:38.960
 and

00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:39.119
 your

00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:39.460
 Lord

00:33:39.460 --> 00:33:40.400
 if

00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:40.519
 he

00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:41.000
 changes

00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:41.240
 who

00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:41.440
 you

00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:41.720
 are

00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:41.720


00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:41.900
 you

00:33:43.500 --> 00:33:44.079
 of

00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:44.539
 Christ

00:33:44.539 --> 00:33:45.380
 and

00:33:45.380 --> 00:33:45.539
 your

00:33:45.539 --> 00:33:45.920
 life

00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:46.759
 must

00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:48.480
 reflect

00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:48.900
 this

00:33:48.900 --> 00:33:50.039
 let's

00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:50.160
 pray

00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:50.440
 together
