00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.219
 Good morning, dear church family. Please stand for the reading of God's Word.

00:00:06.179 --> 00:00:10.800
 Our sermon text today is John chapter 1, verses 1 through 14.

00:00:11.339 --> 00:00:15.359
 We'll be preaching through the gospel of John, verse by verse.

00:00:18.179 --> 00:00:25.400
 John 1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:34.439
 He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made.

00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:38.960
 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:44.019
 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:47.640
 There was a man sent from God whose name was John.

00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:53.159
 He came as a witness to bear witness about the light that all might believe through Him.

00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:57.219
 He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.

00:00:57.599 --> 00:01:01.319
 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.

00:01:01.819 --> 00:01:04.840
 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him.

00:01:05.379 --> 00:01:07.799
 Yet the world did not know Him.

00:01:08.659 --> 00:01:12.420
 He came to His own, and His own people did not receive Him.

00:01:12.780 --> 00:01:16.259
 But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name,

00:01:16.259 --> 00:01:19.179
 He gave the right to become children of God,

00:01:19.180 --> 00:01:27.060
 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:34.060
 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us.

00:01:34.720 --> 00:01:41.920
 And we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father,

00:01:42.440 --> 00:01:45.860
 full of grace and truth.

00:01:45.859 --> 00:01:47.859
 This is the Word of God.

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:49.780
 Thanks be to God.

00:01:50.620 --> 00:01:51.340
 Let's pray.

00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:55.539
 Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

00:01:56.319 --> 00:02:00.260
 We confess that You are eternal, infinite, and unchangeable

00:02:00.260 --> 00:02:06.400
 in Your power and perfection, goodness and glory, wisdom, justice, and truth.

00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:12.000
 Nothing happens except through You and by Your will.

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:17.439
 And You have willed to reveal Yourself to us, Your creation,

00:02:18.020 --> 00:02:20.800
 that we could worship You and enjoy You forever.

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:26.620
 We thank You, Lord, that You continue to speak even today through Your Word,

00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.099
 by the power of Your Holy Spirit,

00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.420
 the same power which raised Jesus Christ from the dead

00:02:32.420 --> 00:02:35.240
 and inaugurated the new creation.

00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:37.439
 Lord, we long for Your return.

00:02:37.620 --> 00:02:38.800
 Come quickly, Lord Jesus.

00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:43.740
 Please speak to us, call us to You, draw us, prepare us to heaven.

00:02:46.140 --> 00:02:48.580
 We ask, Lord, that with every breath of this sermon

00:02:48.580 --> 00:02:50.900
 and with every meditation of each heart,

00:02:51.380 --> 00:02:52.600
 that You will be pleased,

00:02:53.480 --> 00:02:55.120
 that You will be glorified, Father,

00:02:55.880 --> 00:02:59.260
 in the name of Jesus and by the help of the Holy Spirit we ask.

00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:00.000
 Amen.

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.500
 The title for today's sermon is,

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:05.879
 After Darkness, Light.

00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:09.580
 And that was the battle cry, the motto of the Reformation.

00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:12.400
 After Darkness, Light.

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:15.520
 Darkness means death.

00:03:16.180 --> 00:03:20.639
 In 2012, 57 cult members believed a lie.

00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:26.079
 In a Russian bunker, they were taken underground where they lived,

00:03:26.579 --> 00:03:28.719
 and children were born in that bunker,

00:03:29.259 --> 00:03:33.879
 who as they grew year after year, never were exposed to sunlight.

00:03:34.619 --> 00:03:36.719
 And the scientists who helped care for them,

00:03:36.819 --> 00:03:38.319
 they made several observations.

00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.859
 And we can learn from this how darkness means death.

00:03:42.519 --> 00:03:45.500
 Sunlight deprivation leads to chronic diabetes,

00:03:45.500 --> 00:03:48.180
 tuberculosis, no vitamin D,

00:03:48.180 --> 00:03:52.199
 which can create undeveloped bones, teeth, nails,

00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:56.240
 and it can ultimately lead to throat spasms and suffocation.

00:03:56.780 --> 00:03:59.439
 Darkness means death.

00:04:00.780 --> 00:04:07.520
 We read in verses 4 and 5 that life is light.

00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.680
 Look with me at verses 4 and 5.

00:04:12.379 --> 00:04:15.379
 In Him, Jesus Christ was life.

00:04:15.500 --> 00:04:18.180
 And the life was the light of men.

00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:20.240
 The light shines in the darkness,

00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.100
 and the darkness has not overcome it.

00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:25.860
 That's what I want to talk with you about today.

00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.259
 If you reject Christ, you are dead in darkness.

00:04:30.339 --> 00:04:32.000
 Believe in Him and live.

00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:33.899
 Look at verse 14.

00:04:34.579 --> 00:04:37.100
 This Word, this God, the Son,

00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:38.459
 who created the world,

00:04:38.779 --> 00:04:40.319
 this Word became flesh

00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:41.879
 and dwelt among us,

00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:43.360
 and we have seen His glory.

00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:47.379
 Glory as of the only Son from the Father,

00:04:47.819 --> 00:04:50.740
 full of grace and truth.

00:04:51.580 --> 00:04:52.639
 How can this be?

00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:55.600
 The Dutch theologian Herman Boving said,

00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.760
 it is entirely incomprehensible to us,

00:04:58.980 --> 00:05:00.939
 how God can reveal Himself.

00:05:01.820 --> 00:05:05.660
 But mystery does not mean contradiction.

00:05:05.660 --> 00:05:06.840
 In His kindness,

00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.879
 our Creator makes Himself known to you,

00:05:10.280 --> 00:05:12.340
 the created being.

00:05:12.339 --> 00:05:14.759
 See, in Christ,

00:05:15.299 --> 00:05:18.899
 we have eternity brought into time,

00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:21.699
 immensity into space,

00:05:22.339 --> 00:05:24.539
 infinity in the finite,

00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:27.259
 immutability in change,

00:05:27.939 --> 00:05:29.879
 being in becoming,

00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.059
 the all, as it were,

00:05:32.659 --> 00:05:34.500
 in that which is nothing.

00:05:34.500 --> 00:05:37.980
 This mystery, says Boving,

00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:39.740
 cannot be comprehended.

00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.639
 It can only be gratefully acknowledged.

00:05:45.980 --> 00:05:47.019
 If that's true,

00:05:47.100 --> 00:05:48.519
 that life is light,

00:05:49.579 --> 00:05:51.379
 and darkness is death,

00:05:52.139 --> 00:05:54.100
 and if it's true,

00:05:54.180 --> 00:05:55.420
 that if you reject Christ,

00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:56.480
 you are dead in darkness,

00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:58.279
 but if you believe in Him,

00:05:58.680 --> 00:05:59.319
 you live,

00:06:00.459 --> 00:06:01.779
 where are you today?

00:06:02.359 --> 00:06:03.539
 And this is how I've been praying

00:06:03.539 --> 00:06:04.759
 for each one of you

00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:06.859
 in preparation for this sermon.

00:06:08.559 --> 00:06:09.339
 Some of you,

00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:11.179
 you decide if this is you.

00:06:11.719 --> 00:06:14.179
 You are still in darkness,

00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:19.659
 and you battle against the light of God.

00:06:20.459 --> 00:06:22.539
 My prayer for you is that the Word of Jesus

00:06:22.539 --> 00:06:24.659
 will convict you of sin

00:06:24.659 --> 00:06:27.699
 in your life and in your heart

00:06:27.699 --> 00:06:29.219
 before the Holy God.

00:06:30.179 --> 00:06:31.279
 There are others of you

00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:33.139
 you are in darkness,

00:06:33.339 --> 00:06:33.659
 but you,

00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:35.959
 for a reason you can't explain,

00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:37.719
 you don't find yourself battling

00:06:37.719 --> 00:06:39.819
 the light of the gospel any longer.

00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:42.579
 My prayer for you has been

00:06:42.579 --> 00:06:44.199
 that the great love of Christ

00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.459
 for sinners such as you and me

00:06:46.459 --> 00:06:49.039
 will be made real in your life

00:06:49.039 --> 00:06:49.819
 once and for all,

00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:51.639
 that you'll no longer remain in darkness,

00:06:52.019 --> 00:06:54.039
 that you'll believe and have life in Christ.

00:06:55.359 --> 00:06:56.539
 There's a third category.

00:06:57.179 --> 00:06:58.599
 It's those of you who are

00:06:58.599 --> 00:07:00.619
 in the light of Christ.

00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.019
 But you are not battling

00:07:03.019 --> 00:07:05.500
 the darkness of sin in your own heart.

00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:08.819
 You've become worldly.

00:07:10.119 --> 00:07:11.519
 My prayer for you is that

00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.279
 the darkness of sin in your heart,

00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:18.219
 yes, it's still there,

00:07:18.219 --> 00:07:21.139
 will be overcome

00:07:21.139 --> 00:07:25.079
 by the love and the light of Christ

00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:26.359
 so that you will battle

00:07:26.359 --> 00:07:28.919
 darkness and sin in your life.

00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.800
 And my final group,

00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:32.740
 it's those of you

00:07:32.740 --> 00:07:34.540
 who are in the light

00:07:34.540 --> 00:07:36.379
 and by God's grace,

00:07:36.460 --> 00:07:37.879
 every day you do battle

00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:39.879
 the darkness of your own thoughts

00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:40.500
 in your heart.

00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:42.300
 My prayer is simply

00:07:42.300 --> 00:07:43.600
 that with this sermon,

00:07:43.860 --> 00:07:45.620
 your faith will be strengthened

00:07:45.620 --> 00:07:47.900
 and you will be convinced

00:07:47.900 --> 00:07:48.680
 once again

00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:50.480
 that the light of Christ

00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:51.340
 overcomes

00:07:51.340 --> 00:07:53.360
 all the darkness,

00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.900
 the hard things

00:07:55.900 --> 00:07:56.520
 and trials

00:07:56.520 --> 00:07:57.199
 that you endure

00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:57.900
 in this life

00:07:57.900 --> 00:07:59.199
 as you continue

00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:00.139
 to battle sin

00:08:00.139 --> 00:08:01.080
 and walk

00:08:01.080 --> 00:08:02.120
 in the light of Christ.

00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:04.680
 Well, before we have

00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:05.259
 the sermon,

00:08:05.340 --> 00:08:06.720
 I want to introduce

00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:07.220
 the book.

00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:10.020
 Who wrote it?

00:08:10.300 --> 00:08:11.199
 What else did he write?

00:08:11.580 --> 00:08:12.860
 What is his writing style?

00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:14.080
 And what is the purpose

00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:15.300
 of the Gospel of John?

00:08:15.420 --> 00:08:15.900
 So first,

00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:16.980
 who wrote it?

00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:18.819
 Well, five times

00:08:18.819 --> 00:08:19.340
 in the Gospel

00:08:19.340 --> 00:08:20.879
 we're given this phrase,

00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:22.620
 the disciple whom Jesus loved.

00:08:23.159 --> 00:08:24.139
 We can narrow it down

00:08:24.139 --> 00:08:25.939
 to being one of the three disciples

00:08:25.939 --> 00:08:27.259
 among the twelve

00:08:27.259 --> 00:08:28.259
 who were at the Lord's Supper

00:08:28.259 --> 00:08:29.579
 and the three then

00:08:29.579 --> 00:08:30.439
 who accompanied Jesus

00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:31.139
 to the garden,

00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:32.279
 which were Peter

00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:33.539
 and the two brothers,

00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:34.480
 the sons of Zebedee,

00:08:34.580 --> 00:08:35.259
 James and John.

00:08:35.899 --> 00:08:36.899
 Could it be James?

00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:38.840
 We can rule out James

00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:39.740
 because of what we read

00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:40.740
 in Acts 12,

00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:42.379
 verses 1, 2, and 3,

00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:43.460
 which is this.

00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:44.159
 King Herod,

00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:45.600
 this is early on,

00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:46.580
 still King Herod,

00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:48.559
 as the Christian movement grows,

00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:50.379
 he laid violent hands

00:08:50.379 --> 00:08:51.399
 on some who belonged

00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:52.120
 to the church.

00:08:52.340 --> 00:08:53.399
 He killed James,

00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:54.340
 brother of John,

00:08:54.379 --> 00:08:54.980
 with the sword.

00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:55.960
 When he saw

00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:56.899
 that it pleased the Jews,

00:08:56.980 --> 00:08:58.120
 he proceeded to arrest

00:08:58.120 --> 00:08:59.600
 Peter also.

00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:01.919
 So having eliminated Peter

00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:04.939
 as being a separate man

00:09:04.939 --> 00:09:06.600
 from these two sons of Zebedee

00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:08.000
 and knowing that James

00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:09.080
 was killed early on,

00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:10.899
 we deduce that the disciple

00:09:10.899 --> 00:09:11.740
 whom Jesus loved

00:09:11.740 --> 00:09:12.919
 was the younger son

00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:14.700
 of Zebedee, John.

00:09:15.659 --> 00:09:18.100
 What else did John write?

00:09:18.100 --> 00:09:18.759
 He wrote,

00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:20.120
 in addition to this gospel,

00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:20.840
 three epistles,

00:09:21.019 --> 00:09:22.120
 1, 2, and 3 John

00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.700
 in the magnificent

00:09:24.700 --> 00:09:26.060
 apocalyptic book

00:09:26.060 --> 00:09:26.820
 of Revelation.

00:09:28.460 --> 00:09:29.639
 This gospel of John

00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:30.580
 was most likely written

00:09:30.580 --> 00:09:31.519
 toward the very end

00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:32.139
 of his life,

00:09:32.259 --> 00:09:32.960
 just like the book

00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:33.540
 of Revelation,

00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:34.540
 perhaps also

00:09:34.540 --> 00:09:35.240
 from the island

00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:35.899
 of Patmos.

00:09:36.379 --> 00:09:37.700
 So many of the doctrines

00:09:37.700 --> 00:09:38.680
 that the church

00:09:38.680 --> 00:09:39.680
 had been wrestling with,

00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:41.200
 he is speaking to

00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:42.240
 and clarifying

00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:43.720
 as the final

00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:45.720
 living apostle.

00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:47.879
 His style is bold

00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:48.660
 and poetic.

00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:50.100
 Take, for instance,

00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:50.740
 what he writes

00:09:50.740 --> 00:09:51.940
 in Revelation 22,

00:09:52.300 --> 00:09:53.279
 verses 1 and 2.

00:09:53.680 --> 00:09:54.480
 Listen for the theme

00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:55.000
 of death,

00:09:55.300 --> 00:09:55.540
 life,

00:09:55.620 --> 00:09:56.320
 and new creation.

00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:56.980
 Remember,

00:09:57.060 --> 00:09:57.980
 this is the same author.

00:09:58.980 --> 00:09:59.519
 John wrote,

00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:22.539
 See that bold,

00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:23.620
 poetic style?

00:10:23.620 --> 00:10:25.620
 He was also direct

00:10:25.620 --> 00:10:26.940
 and simple,

00:10:27.060 --> 00:10:28.019
 but not simplistic.

00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:28.519
 In fact,

00:10:28.560 --> 00:10:29.360
 he's very deep,

00:10:29.659 --> 00:10:30.580
 but he throws down

00:10:30.580 --> 00:10:32.480
 sharp contrasts

00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:33.480
 in what he teaches.

00:10:34.220 --> 00:10:34.899
 Take, for instance,

00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:36.120
 1 John 5, 16,

00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:36.940
 the same author

00:10:36.940 --> 00:10:37.519
 John wrote,

00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:39.120
 We know that we have

00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:40.500
 passed out of death

00:10:40.500 --> 00:10:41.340
 into life.

00:10:41.740 --> 00:10:42.639
 There's our theme again.

00:10:42.899 --> 00:10:43.120
 How?

00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:44.480
 Because we love

00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:45.120
 the brothers.

00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:47.039
 Whoever does not love

00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:48.820
 abides in death.

00:10:49.659 --> 00:10:50.680
 And John is also

00:10:50.680 --> 00:10:51.600
 perhaps the most

00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:52.300
 Trinitarian

00:10:52.300 --> 00:10:53.480
 of all

00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:55.100
 New Testament authors.

00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:56.500
 He gives us

00:10:56.500 --> 00:10:58.279
 jaw-dropping insights

00:10:58.279 --> 00:10:59.220
 into the Godhead,

00:10:59.379 --> 00:10:59.700
 Father,

00:11:00.019 --> 00:11:00.300
 Son,

00:11:00.680 --> 00:11:01.540
 and Holy Spirit,

00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:03.340
 our triune God.

00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:04.340
 His gospel

00:11:04.340 --> 00:11:05.100
 has been called

00:11:05.100 --> 00:11:05.860
 like an eagle

00:11:05.860 --> 00:11:07.300
 because it takes us

00:11:07.300 --> 00:11:08.460
 to the soaring heights

00:11:08.460 --> 00:11:09.480
 of heaven itself,

00:11:10.139 --> 00:11:10.659
 the fellowship

00:11:10.659 --> 00:11:11.360
 among Father,

00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:11.659
 Son,

00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:12.180
 and Spirit.

00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:13.740
 Steve Lawson said

00:11:13.740 --> 00:11:14.759
 that the gospel of John

00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:16.540
 is the theological

00:11:16.540 --> 00:11:17.680
 Mount Everest,

00:11:17.800 --> 00:11:18.340
 the highest,

00:11:18.700 --> 00:11:19.800
 most soaring peak.

00:11:20.500 --> 00:11:21.200
 In the Old Testament,

00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:21.840
 you're approaching

00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:23.120
 on the foothills

00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:24.200
 and then you get

00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:25.560
 into the pinery

00:11:25.560 --> 00:11:27.200
 and the snowy tops

00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:28.220
 before you know

00:11:28.220 --> 00:11:29.740
 you're in the highest

00:11:29.740 --> 00:11:31.200
 realms of heaven itself

00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:32.600
 in John's book.

00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:34.640
 Why did he write this book?

00:11:34.700 --> 00:11:35.320
 The purpose

00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:36.400
 of the gospel of John,

00:11:36.940 --> 00:11:38.280
 we get this very clearly

00:11:38.280 --> 00:11:39.700
 in John chapter 20.

00:11:39.800 --> 00:11:40.440
 Please turn there.

00:11:40.500 --> 00:11:41.060
 I want to point out

00:11:41.060 --> 00:11:41.879
 a phrase to you

00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:42.759
 which is,

00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:43.680
 you believe.

00:11:43.920 --> 00:11:44.540
 That phrase,

00:11:44.620 --> 00:11:44.960
 you believe,

00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:45.540
 or to believe,

00:11:45.580 --> 00:11:46.320
 or that you may believe,

00:11:46.379 --> 00:11:48.040
 it's used 96 times

00:11:48.040 --> 00:11:49.580
 in the whole New Testament.

00:11:49.580 --> 00:11:51.720
 In the other gospels,

00:11:51.800 --> 00:11:52.560
 Matthew, Mark, and Luke,

00:11:52.660 --> 00:11:53.800
 it's used only between

00:11:53.800 --> 00:11:54.780
 three and six times.

00:11:55.100 --> 00:11:56.120
 The next runner-up

00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:56.860
 in the whole New Testament

00:11:56.860 --> 00:11:57.840
 is the book of Acts

00:11:57.840 --> 00:11:58.860
 which uses that phrase

00:11:58.860 --> 00:12:00.180
 that you may believe

00:12:00.180 --> 00:12:01.440
 nine times.

00:12:01.800 --> 00:12:02.840
 But here in John,

00:12:03.100 --> 00:12:06.940
 it is used 46 times.

00:12:07.139 --> 00:12:08.100
 And what is his purpose?

00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:09.780
 We read in John chapter 20,

00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:10.400
 verse 31,

00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.100
 These are written

00:12:12.100 --> 00:12:13.539
 that you may believe

00:12:13.539 --> 00:12:15.100
 that Jesus is the Christ,

00:12:15.199 --> 00:12:16.100
 the Son of God,

00:12:16.319 --> 00:12:17.500
 and that by believing

00:12:17.500 --> 00:12:18.459
 you may have life

00:12:18.459 --> 00:12:19.319
 in his name.

00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:21.220
 We're reinforced

00:12:21.220 --> 00:12:22.279
 this purpose

00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:23.919
 with John chapter 5,

00:12:23.939 --> 00:12:24.539
 verse 24.

00:12:24.980 --> 00:12:25.939
 Jesus himself says,

00:12:26.100 --> 00:12:26.659
 Truly, truly,

00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:27.500
 I say to you,

00:12:27.779 --> 00:12:29.100
 whoever hears my word

00:12:29.100 --> 00:12:30.100
 and believes him

00:12:30.100 --> 00:12:31.019
 who sent me

00:12:31.019 --> 00:12:32.639
 has eternal life.

00:12:32.939 --> 00:12:33.779
 He does not come

00:12:33.779 --> 00:12:34.419
 into judgment,

00:12:34.819 --> 00:12:35.639
 but has passed

00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:36.879
 from death to life.

00:12:37.340 --> 00:12:38.439
 And in John 6,

00:12:38.500 --> 00:12:39.179
 verse 47,

00:12:39.179 --> 00:12:40.099
 Jesus says again,

00:12:40.219 --> 00:12:40.919
 Truly, truly,

00:12:41.239 --> 00:12:42.039
 I say to you,

00:12:42.059 --> 00:12:43.299
 whoever believes in me

00:12:43.299 --> 00:12:45.479
 has eternal life.

00:12:45.539 --> 00:12:46.679
 In John 8, 24,

00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:47.319
 Jesus says,

00:12:47.539 --> 00:12:48.239
 I told you

00:12:48.239 --> 00:12:49.099
 that you would die

00:12:49.099 --> 00:12:49.759
 in your sins,

00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:51.379
 for unless you believe

00:12:51.379 --> 00:12:52.459
 that I am he,

00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:53.439
 you will die

00:12:53.439 --> 00:12:55.219
 in your sins.

00:12:56.099 --> 00:12:57.299
 Well, what can we conclude

00:12:57.299 --> 00:12:59.039
 from this introduction

00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:00.359
 to the Gospel of John?

00:13:00.979 --> 00:13:01.839
 It's the same message

00:13:01.839 --> 00:13:02.299
 that we read

00:13:02.299 --> 00:13:03.039
 in the prologue,

00:13:03.099 --> 00:13:04.279
 that if you don't believe

00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:05.879
 in Jesus Christ,

00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:07.639
 you remain a slave

00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:08.219
 to sin.

00:13:08.220 --> 00:13:09.420
 Satan,

00:13:10.100 --> 00:13:10.460
 death,

00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:11.379
 and darkness.

00:13:12.420 --> 00:13:13.040
 But like we read

00:13:13.040 --> 00:13:13.779
 in verse 14,

00:13:13.940 --> 00:13:14.639
 Jesus Christ,

00:13:14.779 --> 00:13:15.680
 who is full of grace

00:13:15.680 --> 00:13:16.279
 and truth,

00:13:16.420 --> 00:13:17.460
 came to save you

00:13:17.460 --> 00:13:19.259
 by his glorious light

00:13:19.259 --> 00:13:20.240
 to give you life

00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:21.500
 in him.

00:13:22.139 --> 00:13:23.139
 So my proposition

00:13:23.139 --> 00:13:24.019
 for you this morning

00:13:24.019 --> 00:13:25.320
 is from verses 4 and 5.

00:13:25.420 --> 00:13:26.000
 Look there again.

00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:27.320
 John chapter 1,

00:13:27.379 --> 00:13:28.399
 verses 4 and 5.

00:13:32.180 --> 00:13:32.899
 We read,

00:13:32.899 --> 00:13:54.100
 So what does John mean

00:13:54.100 --> 00:13:55.540
 by the darkness?

00:13:57.759 --> 00:13:58.399
 Well,

00:13:59.800 --> 00:14:01.440
 Andreas Kostenberger,

00:14:02.060 --> 00:14:03.200
 New Testament scholar,

00:14:03.300 --> 00:14:03.519
 says,

00:14:03.659 --> 00:14:03.920
 Darkness,

00:14:04.220 --> 00:14:05.060
 in John's Gospel,

00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:06.399
 is the world

00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:07.800
 alienated from God,

00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:09.560
 spiritually ignorant

00:14:09.560 --> 00:14:10.399
 and blind,

00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:11.019
 fallen,

00:14:11.259 --> 00:14:11.560
 sinful,

00:14:11.800 --> 00:14:13.519
 dominated by Satan.

00:14:14.300 --> 00:14:16.019
 Now look at verse 1,

00:14:16.100 --> 00:14:16.620
 John 1,

00:14:16.700 --> 00:14:16.940
 1.

00:14:17.259 --> 00:14:18.200
 In the beginning,

00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:19.860
 now if you grew up

00:14:19.860 --> 00:14:20.980
 in a Judeo-Christian

00:14:20.980 --> 00:14:22.540
 upbringing,

00:14:22.700 --> 00:14:23.080
 a family,

00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:23.580
 you would have been

00:14:23.580 --> 00:14:24.140
 very familiar

00:14:24.140 --> 00:14:25.420
 with those first three words,

00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:27.200
 in the beginning.

00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:28.280
 And the next word

00:14:28.280 --> 00:14:29.700
 that would automatically

00:14:29.700 --> 00:14:30.540
 pop in your mind,

00:14:30.620 --> 00:14:31.200
 everybody say it,

00:14:31.220 --> 00:14:31.780
 in the beginning,

00:14:32.379 --> 00:14:32.759
 God.

00:14:33.560 --> 00:14:34.400
 But here the author

00:14:34.400 --> 00:14:36.200
 wants you to think

00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:37.440
 in the same way

00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:38.440
 and instead of

00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:39.480
 saying the very

00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:40.700
 familiar term,

00:14:41.100 --> 00:14:41.540
 Yahweh,

00:14:42.040 --> 00:14:43.200
 he says instead,

00:14:43.760 --> 00:14:44.440
 In the beginning

00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:45.820
 was the Word,

00:14:46.400 --> 00:14:47.280
 and the Word

00:14:47.280 --> 00:14:48.600
 was with God,

00:14:48.860 --> 00:14:49.820
 and the Word

00:14:49.820 --> 00:14:51.680
 was God.

00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:53.460
 So what that means

00:14:53.460 --> 00:14:55.020
 is that the Son

00:14:55.020 --> 00:14:56.820
 is God,

00:14:57.340 --> 00:14:58.320
 and the Son

00:14:58.320 --> 00:14:59.440
 was with God,

00:14:59.860 --> 00:15:00.800
 and the Son

00:15:00.800 --> 00:15:02.900
 is God's Word.

00:15:03.300 --> 00:15:04.080
 So the author

00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:05.800
 of John,

00:15:05.880 --> 00:15:06.720
 he wants you to know

00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:07.360
 that Jesus,

00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:09.000
 the Son of God,

00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:10.320
 who took on flesh,

00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:11.779
 he was with God

00:15:11.779 --> 00:15:12.399
 in the beginning,

00:15:12.700 --> 00:15:13.420
 and through him

00:15:13.420 --> 00:15:15.200
 everything was created.

00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:17.620
 And I want you

00:15:17.620 --> 00:15:18.560
 to see the darkness,

00:15:19.040 --> 00:15:19.440
 the reference

00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:20.160
 to the beginning

00:15:20.160 --> 00:15:21.060
 and the thought

00:15:21.060 --> 00:15:21.779
 of darkness,

00:15:22.139 --> 00:15:22.740
 I want you to see

00:15:22.740 --> 00:15:23.580
 that in Genesis

00:15:23.580 --> 00:15:24.399
 chapter 1,

00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:25.080
 verse 2.

00:15:26.019 --> 00:15:26.860
 Please turn there

00:15:26.860 --> 00:15:27.340
 in your Bible.

00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:29.420
 Genesis chapter 1,

00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:30.040
 verse 2.

00:15:31.620 --> 00:15:32.560
 In the beginning,

00:15:32.700 --> 00:15:33.320
 God created

00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:34.300
 the heavens and the earth.

00:15:34.379 --> 00:15:35.240
 Now look at verse 2.

00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:36.399
 The earth

00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:38.120
 was without form

00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:39.539
 and void,

00:15:39.860 --> 00:15:40.980
 and darkness

00:15:40.980 --> 00:15:41.700
 was over

00:15:41.700 --> 00:15:43.240
 the face of the deep.

00:15:43.680 --> 00:15:44.279
 Well, let's take

00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:44.840
 each phrase.

00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:46.240
 The earth

00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:47.639
 was without form,

00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:49.000
 you can picture chaos,

00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:50.879
 and void,

00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:51.860
 you can picture

00:15:51.860 --> 00:15:52.419
 emptiness.

00:15:53.180 --> 00:15:53.440
 Somehow,

00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:54.279
 this chaotic

00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:55.539
 emptiness

00:15:55.539 --> 00:15:56.299
 was also

00:15:56.299 --> 00:15:57.320
 like a black hole.

00:15:57.759 --> 00:15:58.240
 Darkness

00:15:58.240 --> 00:15:58.899
 was over

00:15:58.899 --> 00:16:00.159
 the face of it.

00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:01.779
 It's like a black hole

00:16:01.779 --> 00:16:02.879
 that's going to suck you in

00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:04.080
 and consume you

00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:05.179
 in the midst of chaos

00:16:05.179 --> 00:16:05.759
 and death

00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:06.399
 and destruction.

00:16:08.179 --> 00:16:09.080
 And even though

00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:10.000
 nothing existed,

00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:11.259
 it was like

00:16:11.259 --> 00:16:12.419
 the face of the deep.

00:16:13.139 --> 00:16:14.559
 For an Israelite

00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:15.279
 who had been a slave

00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:16.419
 in Egypt their whole life,

00:16:16.740 --> 00:16:17.320
 entering now

00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:17.860
 the wilderness

00:16:17.860 --> 00:16:18.779
 promised land,

00:16:19.259 --> 00:16:19.899
 when they hear

00:16:19.899 --> 00:16:20.439
 the deep,

00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:21.200
 they would be picturing

00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:22.279
 the Mediterranean Sea,

00:16:22.379 --> 00:16:22.779
 perhaps.

00:16:23.220 --> 00:16:23.879
 They'd be picturing

00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:25.019
 this scary ocean

00:16:25.019 --> 00:16:25.799
 that they would never

00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:26.419
 sail on,

00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:27.600
 that at nighttime,

00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:28.860
 it's chaotic,

00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:29.600
 and it's like

00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:30.720
 a darkness

00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:32.220
 that could consume you

00:16:32.220 --> 00:16:33.139
 and destroy you.

00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:34.320
 And that's how

00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:35.779
 God describes

00:16:35.779 --> 00:16:36.420
 the world

00:16:36.420 --> 00:16:37.360
 before

00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:38.720
 the Word of God

00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:39.540
 speaks it all

00:16:39.540 --> 00:16:40.460
 into being.

00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:41.519
 See,

00:16:41.580 --> 00:16:42.600
 the darkness of the world

00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:43.480
 is so black,

00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:45.360
 that's the best comparison

00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:46.779
 for what Christ

00:16:46.779 --> 00:16:47.500
 came to do

00:16:47.500 --> 00:16:48.100
 in this earth.

00:16:48.860 --> 00:16:49.940
 God's revelation

00:16:49.940 --> 00:16:50.820
 needed to bring

00:16:50.820 --> 00:16:51.399
 order,

00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:52.600
 a new creation

00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:53.519
 into the darkness

00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:55.500
 of man's sin

00:16:55.500 --> 00:16:56.420
 in this world.

00:16:57.700 --> 00:16:58.399
 Now look at

00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:00.720
 verses 6, 7, and 8.

00:17:01.939 --> 00:17:02.340
 See,

00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:03.659
 the world was so dark

00:17:03.659 --> 00:17:04.619
 that God had to,

00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:05.740
 he had to shine

00:17:05.740 --> 00:17:07.099
 the light on the sun.

00:17:07.379 --> 00:17:07.980
 And that's what

00:17:07.980 --> 00:17:08.599
 John the Baptist

00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:09.119
 came to do,

00:17:09.139 --> 00:17:09.539
 and we're going to

00:17:09.539 --> 00:17:10.400
 talk more about him

00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:11.519
 next week.

00:17:11.619 --> 00:17:12.460
 But look at verse 6.

00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:13.319
 There was a man

00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:14.460
 sent from God

00:17:14.460 --> 00:17:15.879
 whose name was John,

00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:17.740
 John the Baptizer.

00:17:17.879 --> 00:17:19.139
 He came as a witness

00:17:19.139 --> 00:17:19.859
 to bear witness

00:17:19.859 --> 00:17:20.579
 to the light

00:17:20.579 --> 00:17:22.319
 that all might believe

00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:22.920
 through him.

00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:24.220
 He was not the light

00:17:24.220 --> 00:17:25.319
 but came to bear witness

00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:27.240
 about the light.

00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:28.740
 the true light

00:17:28.740 --> 00:17:29.339
 which gives light

00:17:29.339 --> 00:17:30.019
 to everyone

00:17:30.019 --> 00:17:31.259
 was coming

00:17:31.259 --> 00:17:33.480
 into the world.

00:17:34.740 --> 00:17:36.259
 We read in verse 10,

00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:37.539
 although God

00:17:37.539 --> 00:17:38.740
 was revealing himself

00:17:38.740 --> 00:17:40.259
 ultimately through Jesus,

00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:41.579
 fulfilling all

00:17:41.579 --> 00:17:42.220
 that the prophets

00:17:42.220 --> 00:17:43.440
 had prepared,

00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:45.039
 in verse 10

00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:45.559
 we read that

00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:46.220
 the world

00:17:46.220 --> 00:17:48.180
 did not know him.

00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:49.359
 And now look at verse 11.

00:17:49.819 --> 00:17:51.279
 Jesus came to his own

00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:52.599
 and his own people

00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:54.440
 did not receive him.

00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:55.559
 the light

00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:57.039
 of God

00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:58.400
 who gives life

00:17:58.400 --> 00:17:59.240
 rejected

00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:00.799
 by the very ones

00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:02.340
 God sent him

00:18:02.340 --> 00:18:03.240
 to preach to.

00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:06.460
 Jesus says

00:18:06.460 --> 00:18:07.500
 in John chapter 3

00:18:07.500 --> 00:18:08.140
 verse 19

00:18:08.140 --> 00:18:08.980
 that the people

00:18:08.980 --> 00:18:11.059
 loved the darkness

00:18:11.059 --> 00:18:12.660
 rather than the light

00:18:12.660 --> 00:18:13.799
 because their works

00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:15.360
 were evil.

00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:16.740
 See how it was

00:18:16.740 --> 00:18:17.340
 their love

00:18:17.340 --> 00:18:18.240
 for darkness

00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:18.940
 and evil

00:18:18.940 --> 00:18:20.600
 that kept them blind

00:18:20.600 --> 00:18:21.299
 to the light

00:18:21.299 --> 00:18:21.960
 of Jesus.

00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:24.019
 John 12

00:18:24.019 --> 00:18:24.460
 35

00:18:24.460 --> 00:18:25.340
 Jesus said

00:18:25.340 --> 00:18:26.220
 if you don't

00:18:26.220 --> 00:18:27.579
 walk in Christ

00:18:27.579 --> 00:18:28.840
 then the darkness

00:18:28.840 --> 00:18:30.259
 will overtake you.

00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:31.759
 The one who walks

00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:32.279
 in darkness

00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:33.319
 does not know

00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:35.039
 where he is going

00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:36.299
 because the darkness

00:18:36.299 --> 00:18:37.180
 is the opposite

00:18:37.180 --> 00:18:38.860
 of the light of God.

00:18:39.340 --> 00:18:40.180
 First John 1

00:18:40.180 --> 00:18:40.880
 5 through 6

00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:41.519
 we're told that

00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:42.759
 God is light

00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:44.039
 and in him

00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:45.299
 is no darkness

00:18:45.299 --> 00:18:46.180
 at all.

00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:46.880
 So why

00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:47.759
 did the people

00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:48.440
 reject him?

00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:50.039
 Again,

00:18:50.180 --> 00:18:50.579
 John 3

00:18:50.579 --> 00:18:50.980
 19

00:18:50.980 --> 00:18:51.619
 the people

00:18:51.619 --> 00:18:52.599
 loved

00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:53.779
 the darkness

00:18:53.779 --> 00:18:55.339
 rather than

00:18:55.339 --> 00:18:56.259
 the light.

00:18:57.500 --> 00:18:58.519
 So darkness

00:18:58.519 --> 00:18:59.460
 is not only

00:18:59.460 --> 00:19:00.079
 the absence

00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:01.019
 of God's light

00:19:01.019 --> 00:19:02.220
 as D.A. Carson

00:19:02.220 --> 00:19:02.659
 says

00:19:02.659 --> 00:19:03.379
 the darkness

00:19:03.379 --> 00:19:04.879
 in this prologue

00:19:04.879 --> 00:19:05.339
 of John

00:19:05.339 --> 00:19:06.079
 it is an

00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:06.720
 aggressive

00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:08.119
 intentional

00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:09.500
 unrepented

00:19:09.500 --> 00:19:11.379
 and enslaving

00:19:11.379 --> 00:19:12.299
 lust

00:19:12.299 --> 00:19:13.299
 for evil.

00:19:13.399 --> 00:19:13.740
 That's what

00:19:13.740 --> 00:19:14.519
 darkness is.

00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:16.240
 See because of sin

00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:17.099
 all people

00:19:17.099 --> 00:19:17.579
 became

00:19:17.579 --> 00:19:19.119
 like J.R. Tolkien

00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:19.639
 and the Lord

00:19:19.639 --> 00:19:20.099
 of the Rings

00:19:20.099 --> 00:19:20.939
 like his

00:19:20.939 --> 00:19:21.519
 orcs

00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:22.500
 and trolls.

00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:23.839
 These are ugly

00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:24.539
 creatures that

00:19:24.539 --> 00:19:25.479
 fear the sunlight

00:19:25.479 --> 00:19:26.219
 they shun it

00:19:26.219 --> 00:19:27.859
 they can't be near it

00:19:27.859 --> 00:19:28.619
 and under

00:19:28.619 --> 00:19:29.439
 Morgoth's

00:19:29.439 --> 00:19:30.399
 power of darkness

00:19:30.399 --> 00:19:31.479
 for them

00:19:31.479 --> 00:19:32.299
 the night time

00:19:32.299 --> 00:19:33.099
 became a time

00:19:33.099 --> 00:19:33.699
 of peril

00:19:33.699 --> 00:19:34.699
 unseen

00:19:34.699 --> 00:19:35.899
 of fear

00:19:35.899 --> 00:19:36.859
 without form

00:19:36.859 --> 00:19:38.059
 an uneasy

00:19:38.059 --> 00:19:38.539
 vigil

00:19:38.539 --> 00:19:39.739
 or a haunted

00:19:39.739 --> 00:19:40.179
 dream

00:19:40.179 --> 00:19:40.919
 leading through

00:19:40.919 --> 00:19:41.479
 despair

00:19:41.479 --> 00:19:42.739
 to the shadow

00:19:42.739 --> 00:19:43.699
 of death.

00:19:43.700 --> 00:19:44.480
 that's what

00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:45.000
 it's like

00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:45.740
 to be in

00:19:45.740 --> 00:19:46.240
 the darkness

00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:46.960
 of sin

00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:47.759
 it's to be

00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:48.420
 an orc

00:19:48.420 --> 00:19:49.500
 or a troll

00:19:49.500 --> 00:19:53.259
 if you reject

00:19:53.259 --> 00:19:53.779
 Jesus

00:19:53.779 --> 00:19:55.180
 as your king

00:19:55.180 --> 00:19:56.960
 you remain

00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:57.740
 infected

00:19:57.740 --> 00:19:58.940
 by sin

00:19:58.940 --> 00:20:00.539
 you remain

00:20:00.539 --> 00:20:01.220
 a slave

00:20:01.220 --> 00:20:01.819
 to Satan

00:20:01.819 --> 00:20:03.600
 you are trapped

00:20:03.600 --> 00:20:04.279
 in dreadful

00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:04.720
 darkness

00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:05.480
 a spiritually

00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:06.240
 dead soul

00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:07.279
 with eternity

00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:08.200
 only one

00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:08.680
 faint

00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:09.779
 heartbeat away

00:20:09.779 --> 00:20:11.019
 a shallow

00:20:11.019 --> 00:20:11.799
 breath

00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:12.579
 away

00:20:12.579 --> 00:20:14.099
 or a tragic

00:20:14.099 --> 00:20:14.839
 car accident

00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:15.940
 away from

00:20:15.940 --> 00:20:16.619
 everlasting

00:20:16.619 --> 00:20:17.660
 judgment

00:20:17.660 --> 00:20:18.680
 of your soul

00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:19.440
 before

00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:20.279
 the holy

00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:20.720
 God

00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:22.059
 do you realize

00:20:22.059 --> 00:20:22.539
 that this is

00:20:22.539 --> 00:20:23.019
 the state

00:20:23.019 --> 00:20:23.639
 of your soul

00:20:23.639 --> 00:20:24.879
 if you are not

00:20:24.879 --> 00:20:25.660
 walking in the

00:20:25.660 --> 00:20:26.519
 light of Christ

00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:30.039
 if you don't

00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:31.139
 see your own

00:20:31.139 --> 00:20:32.119
 sin before God

00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:33.019
 you are blind

00:20:33.019 --> 00:20:36.019
 you cannot

00:20:36.019 --> 00:20:36.639
 see

00:20:36.639 --> 00:20:37.639
 the glory

00:20:37.639 --> 00:20:38.319
 of Christ

00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:40.220
 you need

00:20:40.220 --> 00:20:41.079
 surgery

00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:42.399
 how

00:20:42.399 --> 00:20:45.480
 Psalm 90

00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:46.359
 verse 8

00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:46.759
 we're told

00:20:46.759 --> 00:20:47.679
 God's word

00:20:47.679 --> 00:20:49.220
 sets your sin

00:20:49.220 --> 00:20:49.919
 before him

00:20:49.919 --> 00:20:50.919
 your secret sins

00:20:50.919 --> 00:20:51.460
 in the light

00:20:51.460 --> 00:20:52.220
 of his presence

00:20:52.220 --> 00:20:53.720
 that's how God

00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:54.519
 cuts you

00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:55.419
 to the heart

00:20:55.419 --> 00:20:56.700
 that's how he

00:20:56.700 --> 00:20:57.379
 performs his

00:20:57.379 --> 00:20:57.839
 surgery

00:20:57.839 --> 00:20:59.779
 to heal you

00:20:59.779 --> 00:21:00.539
 from blindness

00:21:00.539 --> 00:21:02.139
 to see his

00:21:02.139 --> 00:21:02.539
 glory

00:21:02.539 --> 00:21:05.819
 ask God

00:21:05.819 --> 00:21:06.539
 to show you

00:21:06.539 --> 00:21:07.139
 your sin

00:21:07.140 --> 00:21:08.140
 ask him

00:21:08.140 --> 00:21:09.120
 to allow

00:21:09.120 --> 00:21:09.780
 you to see

00:21:09.780 --> 00:21:10.620
 the glory

00:21:10.620 --> 00:21:12.220
 of God

00:21:12.220 --> 00:21:13.480
 and you

00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:14.020
 will feel

00:21:14.020 --> 00:21:15.940
 like Charles

00:21:15.940 --> 00:21:16.840
 Wesley wrote

00:21:16.840 --> 00:21:18.480
 long my

00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:19.100
 imprisoned

00:21:19.100 --> 00:21:19.700
 spirit

00:21:19.700 --> 00:21:20.180
 lay

00:21:20.180 --> 00:21:21.759
 fast bound

00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:22.520
 in sin

00:21:22.520 --> 00:21:23.680
 and nature's

00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:24.100
 night

00:21:24.100 --> 00:21:25.480
 but thine

00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:26.500
 eye diffused

00:21:26.500 --> 00:21:27.140
 a quickening

00:21:27.140 --> 00:21:27.520
 ray

00:21:27.520 --> 00:21:28.720
 I woke

00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:29.800
 the dungeon

00:21:29.800 --> 00:21:30.600
 flamed

00:21:30.600 --> 00:21:31.500
 with light

00:21:31.500 --> 00:21:33.180
 my chains

00:21:33.180 --> 00:21:33.880
 fell off

00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:34.720
 my heart

00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:35.420
 was free

00:21:35.420 --> 00:21:36.539
 I rose

00:21:36.539 --> 00:21:37.339
 went forth

00:21:37.339 --> 00:21:38.380
 and followed

00:21:38.380 --> 00:21:38.740
 thee

00:21:38.740 --> 00:21:40.440
 when God

00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:41.160
 performs a

00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:41.819
 heart surgery

00:21:41.819 --> 00:21:42.339
 on you

00:21:42.339 --> 00:21:43.500
 he changes

00:21:43.500 --> 00:21:43.740
 you

00:21:43.740 --> 00:21:44.220
 you become

00:21:44.220 --> 00:21:44.660
 like that

00:21:44.660 --> 00:21:45.279
 young man

00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:46.700
 in the

00:21:46.700 --> 00:21:47.539
 colonial period

00:21:47.539 --> 00:21:48.839
 who had

00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:50.220
 some smooth

00:21:50.220 --> 00:21:51.140
 heavy stones

00:21:51.140 --> 00:21:51.980
 in his pocket

00:21:51.980 --> 00:21:53.100
 walked out

00:21:53.100 --> 00:21:53.720
 to the field

00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:54.900
 he was mocking

00:21:54.900 --> 00:21:55.339
 George

00:21:55.339 --> 00:21:55.880
 Whitfield

00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:57.059
 an evangelist

00:21:57.059 --> 00:21:58.779
 preaching the gospel

00:21:58.779 --> 00:21:59.860
 and he was ready

00:21:59.860 --> 00:22:00.579
 to throw these

00:22:00.579 --> 00:22:01.319
 stones and see

00:22:01.319 --> 00:22:01.720
 if he could

00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:02.299
 smash

00:22:02.299 --> 00:22:03.759
 break the head

00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:04.379
 of that preacher

00:22:04.379 --> 00:22:06.899
 he let him

00:22:06.899 --> 00:22:07.379
 get through his

00:22:07.379 --> 00:22:07.720
 prayer

00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:08.519
 and took the

00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:09.059
 first stone

00:22:09.059 --> 00:22:09.339
 out

00:22:09.339 --> 00:22:10.759
 Whitfield

00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:11.259
 read from

00:22:11.259 --> 00:22:12.019
 God's word

00:22:12.019 --> 00:22:12.980
 and the Holy

00:22:12.980 --> 00:22:13.700
 Spirit cut

00:22:13.700 --> 00:22:14.180
 this young

00:22:14.180 --> 00:22:14.779
 man to the

00:22:14.779 --> 00:22:15.079
 heart

00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:16.859
 he confessed

00:22:16.859 --> 00:22:17.259
 later

00:22:17.259 --> 00:22:18.379
 I came to

00:22:18.379 --> 00:22:18.859
 crush his

00:22:18.859 --> 00:22:19.119
 head

00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:19.759
 but instead

00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:21.220
 the word

00:22:21.220 --> 00:22:21.619
 of God

00:22:21.619 --> 00:22:22.139
 broke my

00:22:22.139 --> 00:22:22.519
 heart

00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:26.119
 pray that

00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:26.460
 God will

00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:26.779
 do that

00:22:26.779 --> 00:22:27.200
 to you

00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:29.460
 what is

00:22:29.460 --> 00:22:30.019
 the light

00:22:30.019 --> 00:22:30.819
 that overcomes

00:22:30.819 --> 00:22:31.279
 such

00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:31.960
 darkness

00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:32.640
 that's our

00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:33.000
 promise

00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:33.400
 in verse

00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:33.840
 five

00:22:33.840 --> 00:22:34.120
 do you

00:22:34.120 --> 00:22:34.539
 see that

00:22:34.539 --> 00:22:35.920
 the light

00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:36.400
 of Christ

00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:37.140
 shines in

00:22:37.140 --> 00:22:37.660
 the darkness

00:22:37.660 --> 00:22:38.460
 and the

00:22:38.460 --> 00:22:38.819
 darkness

00:22:38.819 --> 00:22:39.440
 has not

00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:39.940
 overcome

00:22:39.940 --> 00:22:40.299
 it

00:22:40.299 --> 00:22:41.779
 what we

00:22:41.779 --> 00:22:42.140
 read in

00:22:42.140 --> 00:22:42.579
 John

00:22:42.579 --> 00:22:43.940
 we read

00:22:43.940 --> 00:22:44.600
 verse one

00:22:44.600 --> 00:22:46.039
 how does

00:22:46.039 --> 00:22:46.440
 the light

00:22:46.440 --> 00:22:46.860
 of God

00:22:46.860 --> 00:22:47.680
 do this

00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:48.039
 work

00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:48.759
 look at

00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:49.259
 verse two

00:22:49.259 --> 00:22:50.680
 he was

00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:50.960
 in the

00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:51.319
 beginning

00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:51.900
 with God

00:22:51.900 --> 00:22:52.279
 and all

00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:52.579
 things

00:22:52.579 --> 00:22:52.940
 were made

00:22:52.940 --> 00:22:53.600
 through him

00:22:53.600 --> 00:22:54.460
 this is

00:22:54.460 --> 00:22:55.059
 referring to

00:22:55.059 --> 00:22:55.539
 the word

00:22:55.539 --> 00:22:56.079
 of God

00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:57.420
 without him

00:22:57.420 --> 00:22:57.880
 was not

00:22:57.880 --> 00:22:58.340
 anything

00:22:58.340 --> 00:22:58.880
 made

00:22:58.880 --> 00:22:59.880
 that was

00:22:59.880 --> 00:23:00.460
 made

00:23:00.460 --> 00:23:02.519
 you need

00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:02.779
 to be

00:23:02.779 --> 00:23:03.079
 thinking

00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:03.460
 now

00:23:03.460 --> 00:23:03.640
 of

00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:04.240
 creation

00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:05.279
 that

00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:05.759
 darkness

00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:06.059
 of

00:23:06.059 --> 00:23:06.660
 chaos

00:23:06.660 --> 00:23:07.480
 and

00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:07.900
 emptiness

00:23:07.900 --> 00:23:08.360
 and

00:23:08.360 --> 00:23:08.779
 death

00:23:08.779 --> 00:23:10.600
 the word

00:23:10.600 --> 00:23:11.039
 of God

00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:11.759
 speaks

00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:13.360
 six times

00:23:13.360 --> 00:23:14.279
 God said

00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:15.559
 God said

00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:16.559
 when God

00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:17.140
 spoke

00:23:17.140 --> 00:23:18.000
 when God's

00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:18.600
 word went

00:23:18.600 --> 00:23:19.160
 forth

00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:20.460
 it was

00:23:20.460 --> 00:23:20.980
 effective

00:23:20.980 --> 00:23:22.380
 to create

00:23:22.380 --> 00:23:23.299
 to bring

 physical

00:23:23.940 --> 00:23:25.220
 new life

00:23:25.220 --> 00:23:26.299
 just as

00:23:26.299 --> 00:23:26.680

00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:26.940
 word

00:23:26.940 --> 00:23:27.240
 going

00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:27.600
 forth

00:23:27.600 --> 00:23:28.059
 today

00:23:28.059 --> 00:23:28.559
 is

00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:29.059
 effective

00:23:29.059 --> 00:23:29.600
 to bring

00:23:29.600 --> 00:23:30.279
 spiritual

00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:30.880
 new

00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:31.420

00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:38.120
 were

00:23:38.120 --> 00:23:38.420
 made

00:23:38.420 --> 00:23:38.720
 and by

00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:38.900

00:23:38.900 --> 00:23:39.279
 breath
